Lawmakers reverse gun bill veto Illinois becomes 50th state to allow concealed carry By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com SPRINGFIELD – Illinois became the last state in the nation to allow public possession of concealed guns as lawmakers rushed Tuesday to finalize the law ahead of a federal court’s deadline. DeKalb-area lawmakers joined

their colleagues in overriding the changes Gov. Pat Quinn made to the bill they approved more than a month ago. Even some critics of the law argued it was better to approve something rather than risk the courts allowing virtually unregulated concealed weapons in Chicago, which has endured severe gun violence in recent months.

That was the argument voiced by state Sen. Kwame Raoul, said fellow Sen. Tim Bivins, R-Dixon. Bivins worked with the Chicago Democrat on concealed-carry negotiations earlier this year. “He was supportive of the governor’s amendatory veto, but problem is – if we don’t do something today, it goes to open carry,” Bivins said.

The Senate voted 41-17 in favor of the override Tuesday afternoon after the House voted 77-31, margins that met the three-fifths threshold needed to set aside the veto. Quinn had used his amendatory veto authority to suggest changes such as prohibiting guns in restaurants that

“The time for those suggestions would have been during the negotiation process, not after an agreement has been reached.” State Rep. Robert Pritchard about Gov. Pat Quinn’s changes

More turkey vultures seen in DeKalb County

Egyptian transition plan draws critics’ fire The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Vinnie, a 23-year-old turkey vulture, flies around his enclosure June 27 at Oaken Acres Wildlife Center in Sycamore as Kathy Stelford watches. By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Vinnie doesn’t realize he’s a vulture. For the past 23 years, the barn at Oaken Acres Wildlife Center has been home to a special resident. He’s a turkey vulture who has imprinted onto humans, said Kathy Stelford, founder and president of the wildlife center. As a result, each attempt to release Vinnie back into the wild has met with failure, even when birds of his own kind are flying overhead. “He would leave for a day or two with them, but he’d come back,” Stelford said. “He doesn’t identify with them.” There seems to be more of Vinnie’s kind in the area lately.

Local environment experts have noticed more turkey vultures in DeKalb County during the past five to 10 years, although it’s unclear why. “Each year now, we’ve seen more and more vultures in the area,” Stelford said. “We have a constant presence of vultures from the end of March to November, which didn’t used to happen.” Turkey vultures are carrion birds native to North America that eat dead animal carcasses. The birds migrate during the year, going north to breed and then flying south during the winter. Turkey vultures have bare red heads with no feathers on them.

CAIRO – Egypt’s military-backed interim leader named a new prime minister and won $8 billion in promises of aid from wealthy Arab allies in the Gulf on Tuesday in moves aimed at stabilizing a political transition less than a week after the army deposed the Islamist president. The armed forces warned political factions that “maneuvering” must not hold up its ambitious fast-track timetable for new elections next year. The sharp message underlined how strongly the military is shepherding the process, even as liberal reform movements that backed its removal of Mohammed Morsi complained that now they are not being consulted in decision-making. The Muslim Brotherhood denounced the plan, vowing to continue its street protests until ousted Morsi, the country’s first freely elected president, is returned to power. The appointment of economist Hazem el-Beblawi as prime minister, along with the setting of the accelerated timetable, underlined the military’s determination to push ahead in the face of Islamist opposition and outrage over the killing of more than 50 Morsi supporters Monday. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates provided a welcome boost for the new leadership. The two countries, both opponents of Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood, celebrated his ouster by showering the cash-strapped Egyptian government with promises of $8 billion in grants, loans and badly needed gas and oil. In doing so, they are effectively stepping in for Qatar, a close ally of the Brotherhood, that gave his government several billion in aid. During Morsi’s year in office as Egypt’s first freely elected president, he and his officials toured multiple countries seeking cash to prop up rapidly draining foreign currency reserves and plug mounting deficits – at times getting a cold shoulder. The developments underlined the pressures on the new leadership even with the country still in turmoil after what Morsi’s supporters have called a coup against democracy.

When the victims aren’t so innocent It’s easy to feel sorry for the family who lost a loved one in a drunken driving crash. It’s less easy to feel sorry for alleged crime victims who aren’t exactly innocent themselves. But the less-than-innocent often are victims or witnesses to serious crimes, leaving police and prosecutors to sort out the mess. Take, for instance, the Sycamore teens accused of holding a knife to a Sycamore man’s throat to steal $100 worth of marijuana about 12:30 p.m. July 3. Sycamore police arrested Tanner Young, 17, of the 1500 block of Woodgate Drive, and Jeremy Schwiesow, 19, of the 1300 block of John Street. They face armed robbery charges. The alleged drug dealer ... was not arrested. According to a police report, Schwiesow never intended to pay for the quarter-ounce of marijuana, but arranged the purchase and had Young hide in the back of his red Pontiac Vibe with a knife. The dealer/victim sat in the front passenger seat, and once Schwiesow had the marijuana, Schwiesow gave a signal and Young held the knife to the dealer’s throat, police said. The two-page police synopsis does not mention what ultimately happened to the pot, but police retrieved the knife allegedly used in the robbery from Schwiesow’s father’s dresser drawer. The dealer gave police the description of the vehicle and the two suspects’ names; both the suspects talked with police after acknowledging their Miranda rights, court records show. I received an email from a reader wondering whether the dealer was found and arrested, as the reader be-

VIEWS Jillian Duchnowski lieves the dealer belongs in prison and the two suspects need help. The answer: Sycamore police had little trouble finding the dealer, but they decided the people suspected of armed robbery were the ones to pursue. Sycamore Police Lt. Darrell Johnson said police have to consider physical evidence, potential court challenges, witness credibility and the seriousness of the crime and violence involved when pursuing criminal charges. “If there’s someone violent enough to rip off ... a drug dealer or a law-abiding citizen, you still want to make a case against the most violent offender,” Johnson said. Police and prosecutors make these types of judgment calls as often as many of us decide whether we want cream and sugar in our morning coffee, said Marc Falkoff, an associate law professor at Northern Illinois University. “It’s clearly within the prosecutors’ discretion whether to bring charges against someone,” Falkoff said. “It happens all the time that police witness someone engaging in criminal behavior and choose not to initiate the full criminal justice system.” Indeed, consider the case of Lamern Craig, a 26-year-old DeKalb woman accused of slashing a 22-year-old DeKalb woman in the chest with a box cutter during a fight April 8. The victim smashed a window on Craig’s

car before going to the hospital to get 16 stitches. The victim wasn’t charged; Craig faces aggravated battery charges. Or consider the case of Reema “Nicki” Bajaj, the 27-year-old attorney who is facing possible ethics sanctions after pleading guilty to misdemeanor prostitution. The ethics complaint names two men she met through an adult website who paid her for sex dozens of times, records show. Neither man was criminally charged, while Bajaj was sentenced to two years of court supervision, which means no conviction will go on her record if she successfully completes the term. A casual onlooker could question whether police really used their discretion in the best way possible in any of those cases, especially considering the long-term consequences an arrest can have. In Bajaj’s case, authorities probably needed testimony from one or both of the men to put the emails and photographs involving Bajaj in the proper context, but did the punishment she received, both inside and outside the courtroom, really fit the crime? In the end, it’s a question of who poses the bigger threat to public safety. And, as Falkoff asked me, do we want victims of violent crime to fear calling police because they also did something illegal? The next questions will be settled in court, where defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

G-K revamps school security D-424 to feature secured entrances By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com GENOA – The revamped security at the entrances of schools in Genoa-Kingston School District 424 will do more than help protect students from intruders. The secured entrances at all five schools will help cut down on foot traffic and make it easier for visitors to speak with the staff or pass along items without having to walk into the school, said Jim Slater, district maintenance director. “There’s 100 different situations this will assist our district, securitywise,” said Joe Burgess, the district’s superintendent. Since the end of the past school year,

district officials have been working with local contractors to build additional security features for their schools. About $125,000 has been budgeted for the project, which is planned for completion the first week of August, Burgess said. The first day of school is Aug. 14. Entrances at Davenport Elementary School, Kingston Elementary School, Genoa Elementary School, Genoa-Kingston Middle School and Genoa-Kingston High School are being improved. New features will include a sliding window for visitors to speak with the staff or students. There will also be an extra barrier with reinforced glass, Burgess said. The shootings Dec. 14 at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., provided some of the impetus for a comprehensive review of security measures and the way visitors access the school buildings, Burgess said. With the security system before, access doors were locked at all times,

but people who visited were able to mingle with the students, Slater said. There was a camera for people to identify themselves and an intercom to buzz them into the building, he said. Now visitors can speak with school staff or deliver items to students such as homework or lunch without having to walk into the school. “That’s a huge deal right there,” Slater said. When reviewing its security measures, the district worked with local police and first responders. It also conducted online surveys with parents and interviewed secretaries to get feedback on the best way to design the new secured entrances, Burgess said. Slater said he was impressed with the way the new entrances were coming together. Parents and students will be able to see how much work went into creating them, he said. “We just want to show the community we were driving something,” Slater said.

Death penalty for Boston bombing suspect tough task By PETE YOST The Associated Press WASHINGTON – If the Obama administration tries for the death penalty against Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, it could face a long, difficult legal battle in a state that hasn’t seen an execution in nearly 70 years. Attorney General Eric Holder will have to decide several months before the start of a trial – if there is one – whether to seek death for Tsarnaev. It is the highest-profile decision of its kind yet to come before Holder, who personally opposes the death penalty. Tsarnaev will be arraigned in U.S. District Court in Boston today – the first public court appearance for the teenager who was found wounded in a boat stored in a suburban backyard after a massive manhunt and a shootout with police in which his brother died in April. Holder, in making his decision, will get plenty of advice.

“If you have the death penalty and don’t use it in this kind of case where someone puts bombs down in crowds of civilians, then in what kind of case do you use it?” said Aitan D. Goelman, who was part of the legal team that prosecuted Oklahoma City bombing figures Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. In the past 4½ years, the Justice Department has sought executions in several instances. But, in an indication of how proDzhokhar tracted the process can Tsarnaev be, none of the administration’s cases has yet put anyone on death row. Massachusetts abolished its own death penalty in 1984, but Tsarnaev is being prosecuted in federal court. Since the federal death penalty was reinstated in 1988, only three people, including McVeigh, have been executed. Others have pending appeals. In cases where federal juries have chosen between life and death, they have

imposed twice as many life sentences as death sentences – 144 to 73 – according to the Federal Death Penalty Resource Counsel Project, a two-decade-old group created by the Administrative Office of the United States Courts. The jury pool for a death penalty case against Tsarnaev would come from a state that has rejected repeated efforts to reinstate capital punishment. However, a former U.S. attorney in Massachusetts, Michael J. Sullivan, says viewing the state as opposed to the penalty is not entirely correct. Voters have supported reinstating the death penalty in nonbinding referenda. And when Sullivan was U.S. attorney in Boston, his team of prosecutors won a death penalty verdict. That case is on appeal. “I’m not suggesting there’s strong interest in reinstating the death penalty in Massachusetts, but I think jurors in a federal case would be very thoughtful and under the right circumstances would vote in favor of the death penalty, said Sullivan.

DeKalb selects firm to search for city manager By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The DeKalb City Council will finalize its contract with Voorhees Associates to conduct the search for the next city manager by the end of this week. With the permission of the mayor and City Council, interim City Manager Rudy Espiritu will sign a contract hiring the Deerfield-based consulting firm. Because the contract involved less than $20,000, a formal vote was not needed, said Mayor John Rey. Rey and 2nd Ward Alderman Bill Finucane recommended Voorhees after meeting with them and Slavin Management Consultants, a firm based in Mesa, Ariz. “They knew the community,” Rey said. “They gave us comparable experiences with other university-type communities, which I think gives them an experience factor that will be very beneficial to our search.” Michelle Anderson, the city’s human resources director, said a city manager could be selected in November or December, and begin working as early as January.

Voorhees is the same firm Northern Illinois University officials are using in their search for a police chief. DeKalb Sanitary District leaders also used the firm to hire their District Manager Mark Eddington in 2010. The firm will be paid at least $16,400, depending on how long the search process takes and how many services the city uses. The city has budgeted $25,000 for the search. Rey said the city is obligated to cover the travel expenses of the candidates they select, and that is not included in the $16,400. Later this month, representatives from Voorhees will meet with DeKalb aldermen, city staff and others to draft the job description. By the week of July 22, the job announcement will be posted on various websites. The deadline to apply is Sept. 6. For most of September, the consultants will narrow the field to 10 to 12 candidates. In early October, DeKalb officials will select candidates to interview. By the week of Oct. 21, DeKalb aldermen are scheduled to consider the appointment of the next city manager.

8STATE BRIEF Kane County officer on leave after fatal shooting BATAVIA – A Kane County sheriff’s officer is on paid administrative leave after a shooting that left a Batavia man dead. Police said 52-year-old Luke Bulzak was outside his home near Batavia with a rifle when

Asiana accident a point of national shame for Koreans The ASSOCIATED PRESS SEOUL, South Korea – When a jet from a Seoul-based airline crashed this weekend in San Francisco, South Koreans took it personally. The president issued a statement of regret. With a low bow, Asiana Airlines’ chief apologized not just to passengers and their families but to all of South Korea. Along with sadness over one of the highest-profile crashes by a Korean air carrier in recent years, average South Koreans expressed shame and embarrassment about how it would reflect on their country. It is a reaction difficult to imagine coming from people in the U.S. or many other countries. The successes and failures of big South Korean

firms are intimately linked to this small, proud, recently developed country’s psyche. “I really think that foreigners see this accident as a reflection on all of South Korea,” Cheon Min-jun, an office worker in his mid-30s, said Tuesday in Seoul. South Koreans take great interest in the global profile of local companies and of ethnic Koreans on the world stage. New York’s Times Square. And when a company’s stumbles draw international attention, there’s a collective sense of national shame, even for South Koreans who have no connection to the company beyond nationality. “In the West, the separation between governments and society and businesses is more distinct,” said Robert Kelly, a political science

professor at Pusan National University in South Korea. “The large organizations in Korean life are not standing independently of each other; they’re working together, in unity, pursuing a grand vision of Korea Inc.” The attitude may stem from recent economic developments and the link between autocratic political leaders and businesses in the 1960s and 1970s. After the devastation of the 1950-53 Korean War, Seoul provided easy money to big companies and controlled the imports of certain goods to protect those firms. These government-driven economic plans provided crucial early support for companies that have since become globally recognized brands, including Samsung, Hyundai and LG.

Syverson: Law levels the playing field • LAWMAKERS Continued from page A1 serve alcohol and limiting gun-toting residents to carrying one firearm at a time. “The time for those suggestions would have been during the negotiation process,” said state Rep. Robert Pritchard, R-Hinckley, “not after an agreement has been reached.” The law as approved by the Legislature permits anyone with a Firearm Owner’s Identification card who has passed a background check and completed 16 hours of gun-safety training – the most required in any state – to obtain a concealed-carry permit for $150. State Sen. Dave Syverson, R-Rockford, said the law levels the playing field between residents and criminals because criminals won’t know who is carrying a gun and who isn’t. “The criminals don’t know which ones they are,” Syverson said. “They don’t know who in that location is carrying or not carrying. It’s going to level the playing

field and make the community safer for those who are carrying and not carrying.” The Illinois State Police would have six months to set up a system to start accepting applications. Spokeswoman Monique Bond said police expect 300,000 applications in the first year. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in December that it was unconstitutional for Illinois to ban concealed carry. The court State Sen. gave state ofDave ficials until Syverson June 9 to recR-Rockford tify the shortfall, and later extended that deadline by a month. With the negotiated law, gun-rights advocates got the permissive law they wanted, instead of a New York-style plan that gives law enforcement authorities wide discretion over who gets permits. In exchange, Chicago Democrats wary of by gun violence got a long list of places deemed off limits to guns, including schools, libraries,

parks and mass transit buses and trains. But one part of the compromise had to do with establishments that serve alcohol. The law will allow diners to carry weapons into restaurants and other establishments where liquor makes up no more than 50 percent of gross sales. One of the main provisions of Quinn’s amendatory veto was to ban guns in businesses that serve any alcohol. A former sheriff, Bivins said he also wanted to see prohibitions in all establishments that served alcohol. “In the process, you don’t get everything you want. Nobody did,” said Bivins, highlighting the different compromises that were made to bring the bill forward. Senate President John Cullerton, a Chicago Democrat, gave a nod to Quinn’s wishes by putting before his caucus new legislation that incorporated the changes Quinn preferred. Those changes passed the Senate, but failed to get a supermajority in the House.

8STATE BRIEFS Chicago to get more energy from wind farms CHICAGO – Mayor Rahm Emanuel said 5 percent of the electricity provided to the city through its new aggregation program will come from Illinois wind farms. Emanuel’s office announced Tuesday that it had reached a deal with the city’s energy suppliers to double the amount of wind energy consumers get though Commonwealth Edison. The city last year chose Integrys Energy Services to supply electricity to Chicago customers as a way to save money, and to ease pollution by eliminating coal-based power.

Daley changes stance on taking money in session SPRINGFIELD – Former White House chief of staff Bill Daley has reversed his stance on fundraising while lawmakers are in session as he’s preparing his gubernatorial bid. Last week the Chicago Democrat proposed a ban on fundraising for all state lawmakers and can-

didates while they’re in session. He said he’d adhere to that principle this year, even though he’s not in office. But Daley said Tuesday he’s “corrected” that. He said he’s not an elected official yet so taking donations won’t influence anything.

Continued from page A1 program, said the lack of plumage allows the sun to bake off any bacteria the birds might have been exposed to when feeding. The birds’ bodies are black with gray wings. When soaring, the vulture bends its wings in a V shape. Brian Kraskiewicz, an ecologist with the DeKalb County Forest Preserve, said this is different from hawks

and eagles, which soar with their wings spread wide. Doty has some theories about the increased sightings of turkey vultures. Doty thinks people are more aware of their surrounding environment after a major event, like the drought that struck most of the county in 2012. “What I’ve noticed is that I am getting calls about everything this year,” said Doty, adding that she’s also been getting more calls about hummingbirds.

Doty’s other theory also is drought-related. Turkey vultures build their nests around rocky areas, which can wash away during a rainstorm. Last year’s drought would not only have preserved more of those nests but it also would have killed more animals, making food more abundant for vultures. “It could be any one of those, and people notice them more,” Doty said. “We aren’t all paying attention unless there’s a major environmental event.”

Vinnie the vulture has a cage in the Oaken Acres Wildlife Center barn • VULTURES

INBODEN’S

In the meantime, Vinnie the vulture will stay where he is. He has a cage in the Oaken Acres barn, and he gets excited whenever the staff brings him a new carcass on which to feast. Stelford added that’s she not even sure what gender Vinnie is – they’ve never checked. Vinnie does provide other comic relief, Stelford said, such as when he does his mating dance for humans, bobbing his bald, red head and stomping his feet. “To him, I am like at least

a vision of a mate with him,” Stelford said. “He doesn’t get along with other vultures because he doesn’t identify with them.” But Stelford finds it sad that Vinnie can’t be with his own kind. He’s very comfortable around humans, sometimes pecking at their shoelaces. “Someone is not going to think its funny and could hurt him,” Stelford said. “He can’t be out in the wild, which is a shame because he’s a perfect specimen.”

No surprise that lawmakers chose easy fix

A talk with God while waiting in line I was standing in line with God, buying tickets to see “Monsters University.” He’s a big Billy Crystal fan. “So,” I said, “have you heard about these religious atheists?” God gave me a look. “Is this a joke?” He asked. “No,” I said. “It’s a story that ran in the Washington Post recently about religion in America. It was fascinating. Turns out 12 percent of those who say they don’t believe in you nevertheless pray. Some of them pray to something they call a ‘universal spirit.’ It also said 18 percent of atheists say religion has some importance in their lives.” “Really?” said God as the line edged forward. “So where’s this coming from?” “It was from a Pew study that came out in October. For some reason, the study didn’t get much traction, but the Post story has been making noise all over the Internet. People are blogging about it, tweeting about it.” “I hadn’t heard,” said God. “My Internet’s been down.” “So anyway,” I said, “about these religious atheists .?.?.” “What about them?” “You don’t think it’s weird?

Snowden’s links to WikiLeaks, journalists raise questions By WALTER PINCUS The Washington Post WASHINGTON – Did Edward Snowden decide on his own to seek out journalists and then a job at Booz Allen Hamilton’s Hawaii facility as an IT systems administrator to gather classified documents about the National Security Agency’s worldwide surveillance activities? Snowden told the South China Post in June that he took the Booz Allen job in late March or early April because it “granted me access to lists of machines all over the world the NSA hacked.” “That is why I accepted that position,” he added. He worked less than three months at Booz Allen, but by the time he reached Hong Kong in mid-May, Snowden had four computers with NSA documents. Was he encouraged or directed by WikiLeaks personnel or others to take the job as part of a broader plan to expose NSA operations to selected journalists? In the case of Pfc. Bradley Manning, the U.S. soldier on trial for disclosing thousands of classified documents to WikiLeaks, it was Julian Assange and his organization who directed the collection of documents, U.S. prosecutors have alleged. While Manning’s lawyers contend there is no evidence to support that finding, prosecutors have said there are hundreds of chats between Manning and Assange and WikiLeaks lists of desired material. In Manning’s case, WikiLeaks and its

founder, Assange, determined the news organizations that initially would receive the materials. How did Snowden select his recipients? In January, Snowden contacted documentary filmmaker Laura Poitras using encrypted e-mails. Anonymously, he claimed to have information about the intelligence community. Poitras told an interviewer last month that in February, Snowden had also had a similar first contact with Glenn Greenwald, a columnist for the Guardian newspaper. Greenwald wrote June 10, “Laura Poitras and I have been working with him [Snowden] since February.” Barton Gellman, a contributing writer for The Washington Post, wrote last month that he, too, was first contacted in February, initially by Poitras and then indirectly by Snowden. Snowden again did not disclose his real name. How did Snowden decide on these three individuals before he went to work for Booz Allen and before he apparently had all the documents he wanted to release? Poitras and Greenwald are well-known free-speech activists, with many prior connections, including as founding members in December of the nonprofit Freedom of the Press Foundation. One of its key goals is to support groups that engage in transparency journalism and support whistleblowers, including WikiLeaks. Poitras had suggested Snowden contact Gellman, who had been part of a fellowship program with her at New York University’s Center on Law and Security.

Greenwald had the byline on the initial June 5 Guardian story, and Gellman and Poitras were bylined on The Post’s story on June 6. Did Assange and WikiLeaks personnel help or direct Snowden to those journalists? Snowden’s releases reflect another WikiLeaks technique: Directing materials to suit specific audiences at specific times. While in Hong Kong, Snowden told the South China Post that the United States was targeting China’s mobile-phone systems along with Internet hubs run by two Chinese universities. That release came while U.S. officials were pushing Chinese cyberwarfare as a major issue. On Sunday, as Snowden still sought asylum possibly in a Latin American country, Greenwald, again on Democracy Now, described an article he co-wrote in Brazil’s O Globo newspaper: “NSA is systematically tapping into the telecommunication systems of Brazil and intercepting, storing and monitoring millions upon millions of telephone calls and emails of ordinary Brazilians, the kind . . . that we reported was taking place in the United States, as well.” Meanwhile, Snowden is reportedly in Moscow’s Sheremetyevo International Airport with WikiLeaks handling his legal representation and public relations. What other roles the group played in getting Snowden to this point remain a mystery.

Lawmakers on Tuesday blew past at least the sixth deadline Gov. Pat Quinn has set for them regarding having a solid plan for pension reform. Rather than making progress on pension reform, lawmakers occupied themselves with overriding Quinn’s veto of the bill they had sent him making it legal for residents to carry concealed weapons. That they did so wasn’t much of a shock. Quinn’s veto of the legislation was derided in many quarters by lawmakers, and overriding the veto to conform with a federal court deadline was an easier problem to tackle than the difficult issue of how to solve the state’s almost $100 billion in unfunded pension obligations. Nobody in Springfield has acted urgently enough to fix that issue, which affects every aspect of Illinois’ financial sustainability. The people whom voters in Illinois have elected to office should be ashamed of how For the record far they’ve allowed this situation to spiral out of control.

He holds no influence with lawmakers in Springfield, and that makes leading and getting things done incredibly hard. Quinn, publicly, has not provided any specifics on what his vision of pension reform looks like. The furthest he’s gone in that regard is expressing his preference for House Speaker Michael Madigan’s plan over the dueling plan of Senate President John Cullerton. Quinn had the opportunity to provide specifics to the bipartisan committee recently formed to tackle pension reform. Committee members invited him to speak at Monday’s meeting. Quinn declined. That’s par for the course. If Quinn were a leader, he’d be at every one of these committee meetings. He’d call out lawmakers who have been obstacles. He’d publicly campaign for specific solutions. “It’s a bit irresponsible to arbitrarily select a day when you’re not the one who has to sit there and crunch the numbers. You’re not the one showing any leadership,” said state Sen. Kwame Raoul, a Democrat who leads the pension-reform committee. Voters elected Quinn to lead this state. Leaders get involved, work to find solutions, hold people accountable and get results. We’re still waiting for Quinn to do what we need him to do.

Civil War remains significant Observing the centennial anniversary of the Civil War in the early 1960s was a national fixation, but a central element of the story, slavery, and the role of blacks as soldiers was minimized in the many official observances. July 1 marked the 150th anniversary of the first day of the war’s greatest battle, at Gettysburg, and despite the crowds gathered at the battlefield in Pennsylvania, the war’s sesquicentennial is far from the forefront of popular thinking. Maybe we’ll get it right for the 200th anniversary. The Civil War raged from 1861 to 1865, and there is little question that it remains the most important event in American history, ending the unconscionable practice of slavery and redefining a collection of 50 states as a single nation, first, foremost and enduring. But the incompleteness of this transformational event was exposed when the centennial came around, as the historian David Blight illustrated in his 2011 book, “American Oracle: The Civil War in the Civil Rights Era.” It was a time, Blight observed, when Martin Luther King Jr. would stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and proclaim, “One hundred years later, the Negro still is not free,” while the Virginia Civil War Commission would declare just as firmly that “the Centennial is no time for finding fault or placing blame or fighting the issues all over again.” By and large, the Virginia commission’s point of view prevailed in observances of the Civil War’s 100th anniversary, which was framed as a valiant two-way clash. Today that has changed. In his new popular history, “Gettysburg: The Last Invasion,” the historian Allen Guelzo writes not just of the white soldiers engaged in what was a cataclysmic three-day battle, but of the free blacks living in and around Gettysburg who, if they were unfortunate enough to encounter rebel troops, were swept back into slavery. But if the prevailing view of the war is now more nuanced and accurate, and the event no less important in history, how to explain what can only be described as a relative lack of interest as we pass through another significant anniversary? Surely the passage of time itself is an important factor. But we suspect a continued uneasiness with racial relations, past and present, is at work, too. David Herbert Donald, a Mississippian who became a Harvard professor and Lincoln scholar, was once asked if he thought the country had come to terms with its prejudices. Donald’s answer was that he suspected, instead, we had become better at hiding them. Concord (N.H.) Monitor

Warrants: Hernandez ‘argumentative’ with cops ATTLEBORO, Mass. – Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was “argumentative” and slammed the door on police during their first encounter after his friend’s death, according to court records. He also called his girlfriend’s cellphone and stopped her from speaking with police after they pulled her over and told her the friend, Odin Lloyd, was dead. Hernandez was later accused of orchestrating Lloyd’s death in an industrial park near Hernandez’s home. According to an affidavit attached to search warrants unsealed Tuesday, Hernandez approached police after he noticed them parked outside his North Attleboro home June 17, the day Lloyd’s body was found. Police said they asked him about an SUV he had rented. Hernandez told them he rented it for Lloyd and had last seen him in Boston the day before, the documents said. The affidavit then said Hernandez became argumentative, asked “what’s with all the questions?” and locked the door of his house behind him. He then returned with his attorney’s business card, and didn’t respond when police told him they were investigating a death. “Mr. Hernandez slammed the door and relocked it behind him,” the records read. “Mr. Hernandez did not ask officers whose death was being investigated. Mr. Hernandez’s demeanor did not indicate any concern for the death of any person.” Hernandez came out about 10 minutes later and agreed to be questioned at a police station, according to the documents. Hernandez is being held without bail after pleading not guilty to murder in the killing of Lloyd, whose body was found in an industrial area near Hernandez’s Attleborough home.

CHICAGO – Jake Chelios wears a famous name on the back of his sweater. It’s one of many gifts that he inherited from his father, Chris, who had 948 points and 2,891 penalty minutes during a spectacular 26-season NHL career. On Tuesday, Chris Chelios was one of five people selected to join the Hockey Hall of Fame. “Growing up here, I don’t think I realized how big of a name it was,” said Jake Chelios, a 22-year-old defenseman taking part in this week’s Blackhawks prospect camp. “But then, coming back 10 years later, you realize that everybody knows the last name.” Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

“It’s both,” Chelios said with a smile. “You never know. It depends who you’re playing against.” Ah, yes. Opposing hockey teams. Now, we’re talking some great names. The Hawks’ prospect camp is packed with players from almost every hockey background imaginable. Of the 25 forwards, 19 defensemen and seven goaltenders on the camp roster, more than a dozen college conferences and junior hockey leagues are represented.

Genoa-Kingston looks to mix in the pass, still sticking to Wing-T By LUKE SRODULSKI lsrodulski@shawmedia.com DeKALB – When Travis Frederick took over as head coach at Genoa-Kingston in 2011, the Cogs offense revolved almost exclusively around the running game. However, after another 7-on-7 practice Monday morning, his Cogs showed that they might be a bit more willing to put the ball in the air than in years past. It’s not because the playbook has been altered. The Wing-T offense will still be in effect, but the receiving corps has certainly changed. “It’s different just because we have more [receivers],” Frederick said. “We’ve had a couple of nice players the last few years, but it’s just nice having more bodies. It adds to your flexibility.” As a result, G-K, which finished 3-6, 3-3 in the Big Northern Conference East Division last season, will likely throw the ball a bit more. Still, G-K’s throwing success won’t depend solely on the new set of receivers. They’ll also need help from the offensive line. “We’re definitely a lot faster, and we have some athletic kids who can catch and make plays,” receiver Mike Kuhn said, “but we need to have a good line so we can make good throws and have time in the pocket.” Frederick said that although he’s ready to adapt to

We’re staying somewhere along the same lines.” More than anything, these 7-on-7s are ways for Frederick’s team to increase its versatility and work on improving weaknesses. If it can handle adversity in these less-pressurized situations, he hopes that it will carry over into the regular season. “There are times when things don’t go your way, and you get stuck in third and longs,” he said, “but that’s why you do this 7-on-7 stuff, so you can prepare for those moments.”

Guillens mentoring Kaneland baseball players, Kane County Phantoms Ty Carlson was at a Kaneland basketball practice when Ernie Colombe dropped by with a hard-to-believe bulletin: Carlson’s summer baseball team, the Kane County Phantoms, would be coached by former White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen’s son, Oney Guillen. And oh, yeah, another of

PREP ZONE Jay Schwab Guillen’s sons, Ozzie Guillen, Jr., would assist on the Phantoms’ coaching staff. “Coach Colombe came in during a break, and I didn’t

really believe him at first because it was kind of weird because those are high-profile guys,” Carlson said. “I was kind of shocked. I didn’t believe it yet until the first practice when I saw Oney, and he was there.” Colombe, girls basketball coach at Kaneland in addition to his role as the Phantoms’

director of baseball operations, is a huge White Sox fan, having grown up near Midway International Airport. He said his 21-year-old son, Steve, who also assists in the Phantoms’ program, reached out to a handful of people, including Oney Guillen, about conducting private lessons, and the interaction spread to

discussion of coaching openings as the Phantoms expanded their age-group offerings. Oney Guillen eventually visited Ernie Colombe’s Sugar Grove home to discuss the Phantoms’ 17U program, and both parties came away enthused.

DETROIT – A person familiar with the deal tells The Associated Press that the Detroit Lions have agreed to terms on a $53 million, three-year contract extension with Matthew Stafford. The person, who spoke Tuesday on the condition of anonymity because the agreement has not been announced, says Stafford will make $41.5 million in guarantees as part of a deal that keep him under contract through the 2017 season. Detroit drafted Stafford No. 1 overall in 2009 and signed him to a six-year contract worth as much as $78 million with $41.7 million in guarantees. After two injury-shortened seasons, he helped the franchise reach the playoffs two years ago for the first time in more than a decade.

Devin Harris picks Dallas, where career started DALLAS – Free agent guard Devin Harris is headed back to the Dallas Mavericks, nine years after starting his career with them as a high draft pick. Dallas star Dirk Nowitzki tweeted Tuesday that Harris was rejoining the Mavericks, who ended up with him at No. 5 overall in the 2004 draft in a deal that sent Antawn Jamison to Washington. Harris’ contract is reportedly for three years and $9 million. The 30-year-old Harris averaged 9.9 points and 3.4 assists in Atlanta last season. Harris spent his first 3½ seasons in Dallas and played in the 2006 NBA Finals before going to New Jersey in the trade for Jason Kidd in 2008. The Nets sent him to Utah when they acquired Deron Williams in 2011.

Bat-retrieving dog for Yankees affiliate dies TRENTON, N.J. – Chase, a baseball bat-retrieving dog who entertained fans of a club in the New York Yankees farm system, has died. The ailing 13-year-old golden retriever lived just long enough to be thrown a retirement party by the Trenton Thunder, which was held at Friday’s game. The team said Chase died Monday. The dog had been diagnosed in February with a form of lymphoma, suffered from arthritis and struggled during his last appearance. His bat-retrieving legacy will live on with his son Derby, who continues to be part of the Thunder’s home-game entertainment. Another son, Ollie, performs with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats. Chase made his debut with the Thunder in 2002. He would trot out to the batter’s box to pick up bats with his mouth and bring them back to the dugout. He also carried a woven basket with bottles of chilled water to the umpires and entertained fans by running down flying discs in the outfield.

2 versions of H.W. Bush baseball cards confirmed CONCORD, N.H. – Baseball cards depicting former President George H. W. Bush as a Yale first baseman have fetched thousands of dollars each since they were specially-made for the White House in 1990. But experts now believe that many of cards in circulation were not part of the set presented to the president. The difference? The cards given to Bush by the Topps trading card company have a thick, clear coating on the front, while others floating around do not. Given their scarcity, both versions likely will remain among the most valuable modern-day cards, said Joe Orlando, president of Professional Sports Authenticator in Santa Ana, Calif. Yet those who have purchased uncoated cards over the years – one sold last month for $3,367 – believing that they got one of 100 cards given to the president may feel a bit duped.

Phantoms to play in tourney at NIU at end of month • SCHWAB Continued from page B1 Colombe called the whole scenario “just kind of luck, I guess.” “I did ask him why us versus I’m sure he could get some experience in other avenues, but it’s just what he wanted to do,” Colombe said. “ … He’s a great guy,” Colombe added. “He’s a young kid trying to get his feet wet in managing and relates real well to the kids. I think he has a lot of good qualities and I think he’ll be a great coach down the line.” Oney Guillen, 27, shares more than a last name with his famous father. Neither are strangers to controversy. Ozzie Guillen, ending what had become a rocky relationship with then-Sox general manager Kenny Williams after the 2011 season, went on to manage the Marlins in 2012, but was fired after one subpar season in Miami. The former Sox shortstop and World Series-winning manager has extra time on his hands these days, and made

use of that by attending one of the Phantoms’ games a few weeks ago at North Central. Carlson said Ozzie Guillen coached some first base and shared baseball advice with several of the players. “Oney mentioned he’d come out to a few games, but I didn’t think he was going to come right away because he said that the day before, and Ozzie just showed up, and we were kind of shell-shocked,” Carlson said. “It was really cool.” Ozzie Guillen has a polarizing image in Chicago, largely because of his outspoken-to-an-extreme communication style. Oney Guillen seemed headed down that same path a few years back. Oney Guillen drew widespread criticism for semi-frequently injecting himself into Sox business via sharp-elbowed remarks on Twitter, including calling former Sox relief pitcher Bobby Jenks an “idiot.” Carlson said Oney Guillen seems to keep a decidedly cooler head these days. “I think that a lot of people think just because of his

Twitter and all that stuff he just tries to get attention. … But I don’t think that at all,” said Carlson, an outfielder for the Phantoms and a seniorto-be at Kaneland. “He’s just a normal guy. He doesn’t try to seek attention or anything like that. He doesn’t go up to people and say ‘I’m Ozzie Guillen’s son.’ He’s just a cool guy.” “People have a right to say what they want,” Colombe added regarding Oney Guillen’s history. “And in addition, we’re not in the paper every week, so I’m not too worried about that.” The Phantoms have numerous local players on their 17U roster. In addition to Carlson, Kaneland players Nate Hopkins, Joe Laudont, Joey Panico and Curtis Thorson are on the team. The team is 16-3 on the season, Colombe said, having just taken second place to the Phantoms’ 18U squad last weekend at a tournament in Valparaiso, Ind. Since players are typically multitasking between their high school summer programs and other sports, the Phantoms

typically only assemble for weekend tournaments. Three tournaments remain on the team’s schedule, including a summer-capping event July 26 through 28 at Northern Illinois University. By mid-summer, some of the novelty of being coached by Ozzie Guillen’s son has worn off, but Carlson said it’s still exciting to be mentored by coaches who have been around Major League Baseball most of their lives. Oney Guillen typically doubles as the team’s third-base coach while Ozzie Guillen, Jr., and the team’s other coach, Jon Basinski, share first-base coaching duties. Carlson said the Guillen brothers occasionally speak Spanish to one another when they’re coaching the bases together. The players usually don’t know what’s being said in those instances. Considering who is talking, it might be worth finding a translator to find out.

Cespedes selected in Home Run Derby NEW YORK – Yoenis Cespedes of the Oakland Athletics will swing for the Citi Field fences in the Home Run Derby on Monday night, rounding out the eight-player field. Major League Baseball announced Tuesday evening that Cespedes has been selected by American League captain Robinson Cano of the New York Yankees. MLB revealed the other participants Monday, saying Cano’s final pick had not yet been finalized. Cespedes will become the fourth player not chosen for the All-Star game to compete in the event. The others were Rafael Palmeiro (2004), Hee-Seop Choi (2005) and Ryan Howard (2007), who was defending his crown from the previous year. – Wire report

NBA FREE AGENCY

Source: Cavs offer Bynum 2-year deal By TOM WITHERS The Associated Press CLEVELAND – Andrew Bynum has a new team waiting for him. The enigmatic free-agent center, who didn’t play a single second for Philadelphia last season because of knee injuries, is mulling a two-year offer from the Cleveland Cavaliers, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Tuesday. Cleveland made the offer, which includes a team option in the second year, during his visit to the Cavs’ facility Monday. Bynum did not work out but the team examined him thoroughly. The person with knowl-

edge of the negotiations spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the talks. Yahoo! Sports first reported Cleveland’s offer and said it was worth $24 million. The 25-year-old Bynum had arthroscopic surgery on both knees in March, but the Cavs apparently are confident he will return to the form that made him one of the NBA’s best centers. They’re also counting on him thriving under Cleveland coach Mike Brown, who has returned to the Cavs after being fired three years ago. Brown and Bynum spent one season together with the Los Angeles Lakers and the 7-footer had his best year, averaging 18.7 points and 11.8

rebounds. Over the past four seasons, Bynum has averaged 14.7 points and 9.5 rebounds. Cleveland has competition in its pursuit of Bynum, who was scheduled to meet with the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday and is expected to visit Dallas today. The Mavericks need a big man after losing out in the Dwight Howard sweepstakes. It’s not clear when Bynum will make his decision. The NBA’s free-agency moratorium period ends today. His agent, David Lee, did not immediately respond to a phone message. The Cavs have already landed forward Earl Clark and guard Jarrett Jack in free agency and are looking to move up quickly. They would

that includes forward Tristan Thompson, guard Dion Waiters and forward Anthony Bennett, the No. 1 overall pick in last month’s draft.

The Sixers acquired Bynum last summer from the Lakers as part of a four-team trade. Bynum, who made $16.9 million despite not playing last season, never got healthy enough to get on the floor with the Sixers. The Cavs would be taking a risk with Bynum that could have huge rewards. He would instantly raise their profile and probably get them back to the playoffs after winning just 66 games combined the past three seasons. In giving him only a two-year deal, they would not be tying up much money which would allow them to stay flexible next summer when several top-tier free agents – possibly LeBron James – will be on the market.

TOUR DE FRANCE

Fish says he’s mentally, physically set to return By RACHEL COHEN The Associated Press

Spectators on a tank watch as the pack passes the Special Military School of Saint-Cyr near Guer on Tuesday during Stage 10 of the Tour de France cycling race of more than 120 miles with the start in Saint-Gildas-des-Bois and finish in Saint-Malo, France.

Kittel wins stage; Froome keeps lead By JEROME PUGMIRE The Associated Press SAINT-MALO, France – Germany’s Marcel Kittel won Tuesday’s 10th stage of the Tour de France in a sprint finish and Chris Froome stayed out of trouble to keep the leader’s yellow jersey. Kittel held off countryman Andre Greipel and Mark Cavendish in a dash to the line to win his second stage of the Tour. Cavendish nudged Dutchman Tom Veelers off his bike as they sprinted for home. “I touched him. The road was bearing left,” Cavendish said. “Yeah, it was my fault. ... I hope he’s OK.” Froome was at a safe distance behind, much to his relief. “That’s everyone’s worst nightmare. Fortunately, I was to the side of that crash and went around it no problem,” Froome said. “I’m feeling really good. Today was a great day for us, staying out of trouble, staying at the front. That was one of the objectives today, save the legs as much as possible.”

Kittel won the opening stage and is now the first rider to capture two stages in this year’s race. “Things went very well with my team today,” he said. “I managed to get on Greipel’s wheel and overtake him.” Veelers was not seriously harmed and was later able to answer questions outside the team bus. “I had the feeling Cavendish was boxed in my wheel,” Veelers said. “He touched my handlebars and knocked me over.” Peter Sagan, who won the green jersey for best sprinter in last year’s Tour, finished the stage in fourth. The Slovak holds a commanding 83-point lead over Greipel and is 103 in front of archrival Cavendish, who won the green jersey in 2011. The finish looked tailor-made for Cavendish, who was going for his 25th career Tour stage win to tie Frenchman Andre Leducq on the all-time list of Tour stage winners. “I think this team could’ve done something differently, but we’ll talk about that lat-

er,” Cavendish said. As the British rider moved into position to attack before the final corner, Cavendish appeared to lean into Veelers and send the Argos-Shimano rider flying off his bike. Race stewards were examining what happened. “I hope that Tom isn’t hurt too badly,” said Kittel, his teammate. After seeing a replay of the incident, Kittel gave Cavendish the benefit of the doubt. “I cannot imagine that it was on purpose because it was a very hectic situation,” he said. After the stage, Cavendish was involved in an incident at his Omega Pharma-QuickStep team bus, angrily grabbing the reporter’s recorder when asked if the crash was his fault. After a rest day, the 122mile flat ride started from Saint-Gildas-des-Bois in northwest France and finished in the walled port city of Saint-Malo, a tourist destination on the north coast of Brittany. Froome, the Tour runner-up to British countryman

Bradley Wiggins last year, has a healthy lead over second-place Alejandro Valverde and two-time champion Alberto Contador. Froome is looking to increase that in today’s time trial – a 20.5-mile dash from Avranches to Mont-Saint-Michel, a walled medieval abbey in Normandy. “Tomorrow’s definitely a day where I will try and extend my lead,” Froome said. “I do look forward to it. It’s definitely a day that could help the general classification. I definitely want to go for it.” A five-man breakaway attacked from the start, opening a lead of five minutes, but they were caught with less than 4 miles to go. Froome took the yellow jersey Saturday with a devastating attack on the last climb of the first Pyrenean stage and then successfully defended it the following day in the face of several attacks from his rivals. He stays 1 minute, 25 seconds ahead of Valverde, while Contador is 1:51 behind in sixth.

Mardy Fish watched from afar as one side of the Wimbledon draw opened up. He couldn’t help but wonder if he would have taken advantage to make a deep run. Still, the American knew he made the right decision by delaying his return until he could enter a tournament at home in the United States and take the court in front of familiar faces. Fish has played just one ATP Tour event since pulling out of the U.S. Open before his fourth-round match last September. Apologizing for his ongoing vagueness about the reasons, Fish again hinted Tuesday that many of his obstacles have been mental. He missed about 2½ months earlier in 2012 because of an accelerated heartbeat, but Fish said the procedure he underwent in May of that year “gave us peace of mind that everything was OK.” “I’m trying to make sure mentally I’m where I want to be,” he said on a conference call to promote this month’s Citi Open in Washington, which he plans to make his second tournament back. The 31-year-old Fish said he has worked closely with Jim Loehr, a performance psychologist who has counseled Jim Courier among other pro athletes. “Some days are better than others,” Fish said. “Some weeks are better than others.” The night after he lost at Key Biscayne in March 2012, Fish’s heart started racing uncontrollably. That May, doctors induced extreme palpitations to try to pinpoint the problem. He returned for last year’s Wimbledon. His third-round victory in the U.S. Open went five sets, lasting more than 3 hours and ending after 1 a.m. Afterward, Fish did not attend the news conference, and tournament officials said he was receiving unspecified medical treatment. The next day, he withdrew before his match against Roger Federer, saying it was for “precautionary measures”

on doctor’s advice. At the time, Fish expected to return to the tour quickly. He didn’t play again until Indian Wells in March near his Los Angeles home, beating Bobby Reynolds in three sets in his first match back. Afterward, he talked about fighting “some demons.” “For the first three months after the U.S. Open, I had retired and nonretired in my head almost every week,” he said that day. “And there was a while where I was done.” Fish lost to a top-10 player, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, in the next round in two tiebreakers. He originally planned to play Key Biscayne later that month but wound up skipping it. Since then, his only tournament was a lower-tier Challenger event in Savannah, Ga., in April, when he lost his first match to 103rdranked Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo in three sets. He described those forays as tests of where he stood in his comeback. “Every move we’ve made has been very calculated,” Fish said. He has recently returned to the court with his World TeamTennis squad in Sacramento, Calif. He plans to enter the Atlanta Open, which starts July 22, then play in Washington a week later. “I’ve turned the corner and been able to train as hard as I possibly can the last three months,” Fish said. Skipping Wimbledon was tough; he’s always felt comfortable on those grass courts. And then it was frustrating to see all the upsets that might have given him a clear path to the late rounds. But the Minnesota native wouldn’t have had his full support system behind him in England. “It was too far away, too soon,” he said. Fish, who reached a career-high No. 7 in 2011, tries not to worry about a ranking that has fallen to 61st in the world. He hopes his return will boost the floundering contingent of American men, none of whom reached the third round at Wimbledon.

Texas judge allows lawsuit vs. Armstrong to proceed The ASSOCIATED PRESS AUSTIN, Texas – A Texas judge has refused Lance Armstrong’s request to dismiss an insurance company’s lawsuit seeking $3 million in bonuses it paid him from 1999 to 2001, and an attorney for the company said Tuesday he’ll move quickly to question the cyclist under oath. Nebraska-based Acceptance Insurance Holdings had a contract with Armstrong to pay bonuses for winning the Tour de France and other races. The company sued to recover its money after Armstrong admitted in January

that he used performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour every year from 1999-2005. Armstrong’s attorneys had asked Travis County judge Darlene Byrne to dismiss the case, arguing the statute of limitations on any fraud or breach of contract claims expired by 2011. The company argued that the clock didn’t start until Armstrong admitted doping. The judge denied Armstrong’s request to dismiss Monday, allowing the case to proceed. Acceptance attorney Mark Kincaid said the company will seek to question witnesses – including Armstrong

– under oath, something the cyclist has been reluctant to do with several legal cases pending against him. “Lance Armstrong would be the No. 1 witness,” Kincaid said. Armstrong attorney Tim Herman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Armstrong is facing several lawsuits seeking repayment of millions paid to him during his career. Most notable is a federal case seeking to recover more than $40 million paid to Armstrong and his team by the U.S. Postal Service when the

agency was his team’s primary sponsor. Federal prosecutors have said they intend to seek treble damages, which could push penalties up to more than $100 million. The Acceptance case is similar to a $12 million lawsuit filed by Dallas-based SCA Promotions. SCA tried to withhold bonuses from Armstrong in 2005 and went to arbitration in an effort to prove he was cheating. Armstrong testified in that case under oath and denied doping, and the case was eventually settled with SCA paying Armstrong more than $7 million.

Chelios, Niedermayer top 2013 hall of fame class The ASSOCIATED PRESS TORONTO – Defensemen Scott Niedermayer and Chris Chelios, along with forward Brendan Shanahan will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. They’ll be joined in the Class of 2013 by Geraldine Heaney, the third woman to be enshrined in the hall, and coach Fred Shero, who led the Philadelphia Flyers to the Stanley Cup in 1974 and ’75. He was selected posthumously in the builder category. “There’s no sense looking back as to why it didn’t happen sooner, because today’s a happy day to celebrate the fact that a guy that deserves it immensely has finally been elected to the Hall of Fame,” Flyers chairman Ed Snider said.

Chelios and Niedermayer earned hockey’s biggest individual honor in their first year of eligibility. Shanahan was a teammate of Chelios’ in Detroit, and played with Niedermayer during the Olympics in 2002 when Canada won gold. “When you got to play with them, it was a thrill,” Shanahan said. “I spent some years playing with Cheli, and there’s not another guy that you would want to go into a tough situation looking out for you. “It absolutely makes it more special to go in with people I not only played against, but played with and got to know well.” The induction ceremony is scheduled for November. Niedermayer won four Stanley Cups in 17 full NHL seasons to go along with a

Prospects excited to be part of the Hawks’ organization • MUSICK Continued from page B1 Granted, no other prospect has a last name nearly as popular as Chelios. But check out some of the names that these guys have worn on the front of their sweaters. Milos Bubela played forward for the Dubuque Fighting Saints. Jason Bast did the same for the Victoria Salmon Kings. And history will look back fondly on Sam Babintsev’s days as a Mississauga Steelhead. Not to provoke any Fighting Saints – who knew Benedict could box? – but defenseman Dillon Fournier probably deserves the top prize in the Weirdest Team Name category. Fournier, a promising 19-year-old who was the Hawks’ second-round selection in 2012, spent the 2010-11 campaign as a member of the Lewiston MAINEiacs. You read that correctly. The Lewiston MAINEiacs. Go ahead. Guess the state in which they played. It must have been kind of embarrassing to wear that sweater, yeah? “Oh, no,” Fournier said. “We liked it. The fans loved it. We just had a good laugh with it. It was fun.” In fact, none of the Hawks prospects seemed to mind the goofy team names for which they played. Mark it down as reason No. 3,597 why hockey players are the most easy-going athletes. Zach Loesch was a Fresno Monster before becoming a Pembroke Lumber King. Kent Simpson was an Everett Silvertip before becoming a Toledo Walleye and – you probably know this one – a Rockford IceHog. Alex Broadhurst once was a Green Bay Gambler. Hey Alex, did you come across a lot of gamblers in Green Bay? “I didn’t come across many gamblers, but I’m sure there

are,” Broadhurst said with a laugh. “They’re always out there.” True. Kind of like weird team names. “I thought Youngstown Phantoms was pretty weird,” Broadhurst said. “They had purple jerseys.” Sounds intimidating. “No,” Broadhurst said. “Their bus is just … purple. It’s kind of funny.” Tim O’Brien knows all about playing against the super-purple Phantoms. That name and several others were part of the charm of playing in the United States Hockey League. “All of the teams in that league are pretty unique,” said O’Brien, a native of Wilmette. “You’ve got the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders and the Sioux City Musketeers and the Chicago Steel.” O’Brien was one of the Sioux City Musketeers. “Musketeers is definitely up there,” O’Brien said. “I don’t even know what a Musketeer is.” It’s hard to blame him. Nothing says hockey like a guy who held a musket a few hundred years ago. To a man, every Hawks prospect is thrilled to be able to wear the Indian Head logo on their chest. There is no confusion as to what the Hawks represent: an Original Six franchise that has won two Stanley Cup titles in the past four seasons. “It has such a big fan base,” Fournier said. “It has been around for so many years. It’s real cool to see how people react. “Everyone knows the team. Everyone knows the logo. Everyone knows the name. It’s real special.” Well said, Mr. MAINEiac. Well said.

Norris Trophy and Conn Smythe Trophy. He played for the New Jersey Devils from 1991-92 through the 2003-04 season and finished his career in Anaheim in 2010. Chelios played 23 full seasons and parts of three more, taking part in his final NHL game at age 48. “I was part of an era, Chris was part of a few,” Niedermayer joked. Among the game’s best U.S.-born players, Chelios won the Norris Trophy as the league’s top defenseman three times. The Chicagoan split much of his career with three storied franchises in Montreal, Detroit and the Blackhawks, and was asked which team he will be affiliated when he is inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

“U.S.A.,” he said. Shanahan finished his career with 656 goals and 698 assists. He won three Stanley Cups with the Red Wings, an Olympic gold medal and was the quintessential scoring power winger of his era. Shanahan started his career with the Devils, went on to play in St. Louis, Hartford, Detroit and for the New York Rangers before ending his playing career back in New Jersey. Heaney was a defenseman on Canada’s gold-medal-winning team at the 2002 Olympics and is considered one of the best female players in history. “As a young girl playing hockey, never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be going into the hall,” she said.

bone, you will have a very bony rack. Make sure you buy racks of ribs that weigh 2 to 3 pounds each. Most recipes will tell you to remove the membrane from the ribs (and I used to do it, too). But the more I cooked ribs, the more I liked leaving the membrane on the back. One reason is it holds the ribs together – especially important if there is any bone-shine – and it also is a good indicator of when the ribs are done. When the membrane pulls away from the back of the rack and looks like translucent parchment paper, you know the ribs are done. If you want, you can remove the membrane before you cut and serve the ribs. When you prep your ribs for the grill, squeeze a lemon over both sides of the ribs to “refresh” them. That little bit of acid creates a brightness, a “clean canvas” for your seasoning and helps the rub adhere to the meat.

Bubba’s Bunch Barbecued Baby Back Ribs Start to finish: 3 1/2 hours (30 minutes active) Servings: 8 Wood chips, for smoking For the rub: 2 tablespoons smoked paprika 2 tablespoons kosher salt 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar 2 tablespoons McCormick’s Worcestershire Ground Black Pepper Blend (or other black pepper) 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper For the ribs: 4 racks baby back ribs, at least 2 pounds each 2 lemons, halved 1 cup prepared barbecue sauce (optional) Soak the wood chips in a bowl of water according to package directions. Meanwhile, to make the rub, in a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. If you prefer your dry rubs to have a finer texture, the ingredients can be combined in a spice grinder and ground until fine. Set aside. Any extra rub can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 6 months. Prepare the grill for indirect heat at medium-low. You are aiming to maintain a temperature of 300 to 325 degrees F. If using a charcoal grill, place the soaked wood chips directly on the hot charcoals. If using a gas grill, place the wood chips in a smoking box and set into the grill according to product directions. Squeeze and rub 1 lemon half over each rack of ribs. Sprinkle the ribs liberally with the spice rub, then let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Place the ribs, bone-side down, in the center of the cooking grate, or in a rib holder or rack. Grill, covered, for 2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and has pulled back from the ends of the rib bones. Begin checking the ribs after 1 1/2 hours in case your grill is running hot. Leave the ribs unattended and without opening the grill cover for the first 30 minutes. If the ribs start to burn at the edges, stack them on top of one another in the very center of the grill and lower the heat slightly. Ten minutes before serving, brush the ribs with barbecue sauce, if using. Remove the ribs from the grill and place them on a clean platter. Let them rest for 10 minutes before cutting into individual portions.

When pairing cocktails with barbecue, think about the sauce, not the meat By J.M. HIRSCH • The Associated Press

hen it comes to food and drink pairings, most of us tend to be pretty old school. As in, red with beef, white with fish. But that’s a pretty broad brush with which to paint the way we eat and drink. Most meals are comprised of a symphony of flavors and textures, any one or more of which could be the inspiration for a drink pairing. Seasonings, for example, often play a bigger role in determining the flavor profile of a dish than the main ingredient does.

This is particularly true in summer, when we are wont to slather barbecue sauce onto whatever we throw on the grill. At this point, the meat or veggies are far less important to a pairing than the ingredients used in the barbecue sauce. Which is to say, a brown sugar-bourbon barbecue sauce would want the same drink whether it’s on a chicken breast or a beef tip. To help you start thinking along these lines, I created three deliciously different barbecue sauces that are versatile enough to be used on whatever you care to grill – a tangy apricot and brown sugar barbecue sauce; a Central American recado rojo, which is rich with oregano, cumin and ancho chili powder; and a balsamic strawberry jalapeño sauce. Then I sent off these recipes to Davin Affrunti, a mixology master and bar director for Prospect Restaurant in San Francisco. “In considering what to pair with each sauce, I definitely think about what might be the most prominent flavors when completed,” he explained via email. “Spices can react tricky depending on the preparation, as can citrus and acid. Finding ways to complement these flavors is crucial.” And when it comes to barbecue sauces, that isn’t always easy. By definition, these sauces tend to be big and bold. That can be a lot to consider. The tangy apricot barbecue sauce is a great example. “There appears to be a lot going on here, from stone fruit like apricot to tropical fruit like pineapple, to various spices,” he said. “My initial goal would be to find something that subtly cuts through the spices, yet still leaves a refreshing zing at the end. I’m thinking something like ginger beer would be a great go-to.” One choice would be a dark and stormy, a classic cocktail that blends dark rum, fresh lime juice and ginger beer (try 2 ounces rum and a squeeze of lime over ice, then top off with ginger beer). Or there is his own creation, the Sword and Stone, which blends 1 1/2 ounces Old Overholt rye, 1/2 ounce sweet vermouth, 1/2 ounce Yellow Chartreuse, 1/2 ounce apricot shrub (a blend of fresh apricots, cider vinegar and sugar) and bitters. For the recado rojo, Affrunti wanted to work with the sweet, peppery and slightly nutty profile of the sauce. “Because of the tangy cider vinegar component, something fresh and aromatic would be a great pick,” he said. “Circling back to the prominent annatto of Central and South America, Brazil’s signature caipirinha (a Brazilian drink that muddles fresh lime wedges with sugar, then tops with 2 ounces cachaca and ice) seems appropriate.” He also suggests his own Golden Gate Julep, which starts by muddling 5 mint leaves, 3/4 ounce wildflower honey and 3 dashes orange flower water, then stirring in 2 ounces of Buffalo Trace bourbon and ice. Finally, there is the balsamic strawberry barbecue sauce, the very definition of “lots going on.” “This is perhaps the wild card of the bunch. I feel that sticking to darker spirits [like rum and whiskey] generally work best for barbecue, but in this case I will make an exception,” he said. “I want to lean toward tequila because of the jalapeño, yet I feel like something with basil might be awesome with the strawberry, especially to tame the heat. So I will give you both.” In this case, both means a strawberry-basil gimlet (muddle 2 strawberries and some fresh basil then shake over ice with 2 ounces of gin, 1 ounce of lime juice and 1/2 ounce simple syrup) and his own recipe for Road to Rosarita, his version of a strawberry margarita (2 ounces Ranchero tequila, 1/2 ounce simple syrup and 1 ounce strawberry juice, shaken with ice and double strained into a glass rimmed with chili powder, salt and crushed freeze-dried strawberries).

This tangy-sweet barbecue sauce is just right for grilled chicken breasts, turkey burgers or salmon steaks. If you can’t find fresh apricots, substitute frozen apricots.

and Central America. It gets its bold color from achiote seeds (also called annatto) and deep flavor from blend of oregano, ancho chili powder and cumin. Use it on chicken, fish, pork or even stirred into stews.

Recado Rojo Start to finish: 15 minutes Makes 1 cup 2 tablespoons achiote (annatto) seeds 1 teaspoon cumin seeds 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon ancho chili powder 1 teaspoon coriander seeds 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns 1 medium yellow onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic 1/4 cup orange juice 2 tablespoons cider vinegar

1 tablespoon molasses 1 tablespoon brown sugar Pinch salt

1 g protein; 25 mg sodium.

In a small, dry skillet over medium-low heat, combine the achiote, cumin, oregano, chili powder, coriander, cinnamon, allspice and peppercorns. Toast, stirring constantly, until just fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder and grind until reduced to a fine powder. Transfer to a food processor or blender and add the onion, garlic, orange juice, vinegar, molasses, brown sugar and salt. Process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and use immediately or cover and refrigerate up to a week.

Heat and sweet combine beautifully in this barbecue sauce. And while it is wonderful on chicken or ribs, there’s no need to stop there. A dollop of this and a slab of blue cheese can turn a basic burger into a truly transformative grilling experience. To tame the heat a bit, don’t include the seeds or inner ribs of the jalapeño.

Their idea was to charge small things, such as cell phones, using wind energy. They created and tested several different types of fan blades to find the design that generated the most electricity. Each received a $1,000 savings bond for their entry.

Girl in abusive relationship must get out fast Dear Abby: I am a 17-yearold girl who has been in a relationship for a year and a half with “Richard.” I love him with everything in me, but he is mentally and physically abusive. He is also addicted to cough medicine. I knew I should have stopped talking to him before we started dating, but he was such a mess I thought I could help him – and I did. He’s no longer an alcoholic. He went to jail for seven months because of our age difference, but I refused to testify, so he got out. While he was in there I thought he had changed and wouldn’t hit me anymore, but he still does. Anyone in their right

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips mind would get up and leave, but the one time I did, he pretended he didn’t care and I attempted suicide. I don’t know what to do. I love him, but I know I shouldn’t. – Abused Teen in California Dear Teen: I’m glad you wrote. Richard may no longer be drinking liquor, but cough medicines contain alcohol, which means he’s still an alcoholic. His violence toward women will probably never stop unless he is incarcerated for it, and even then there is

no guarantee. Regardless of how much love you give him, you can’t fix what’s wrong with him or make him love you back because he isn’t capable of it. Because you are so emotionally fragile, you should seek refuge with relatives who can help you heal physically and emotionally from this experience. If that’s not possible, then contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline. Its website is www.thehotline. org, and the toll-free phone number is 800-799-7233. Ask for a referral to a women’s shelter where you can receive counseling and support. Help is available for you if you are open to it. Stay-

ing where you are is not an option because if you do, this man could kill you. Dear Abby: While riding with my new boss to a sales appointment, he needed some information from his company-issued iPad. He asked me to turn it on and gave me the passcode. When I did, up popped a porn site. He almost wrecked the car grabbing the iPad from me. Not another word was said until we arrived at the appointment and he looked up the item prior to going in. Nothing has been said about this incident since. Every time I think about my boss having gone to that porn site before I touched the iPad, I get sick to my stomach.

HE makes me sick. Do I resign or stay? – Grossed Out in Ohio Dear Grossed Out: If the nausea is affecting your ability to perform your job, you should quit. But before you do, be sure you have another one lined up. And when you interview, as tempting as it may be, refrain from saying anything negative about your boss because to do otherwise will reflect poorly on you.

Prescription sleep meds best in short term Dear Dr. K: I can’t sleep. Behavioral changes haven’t helped. Can you tell me about prescription medications for insomnia? Dear Reader: I typically prescribe sleep medications only for short-term sleep problems. For example, I might prescribe them for a patient who is traveling across time zones or coping with a death in the family. Even then, I prescribe them at the lowest dose and for the shortest possible time. Behavioral changes – such as going to bed and getting up at the same time each day, not reading or watching TV in bed, etc. – usually work if you keep at them. Several categories of medications, which I discuss below, are used to treat

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff insomnia. (I’ve put a table listing specific medications in each category on my website.) After taking any sleeping pill, allow for a full eight hours of sleep. • Benzodiazepines calm brain activity. They are useful for patients with insomnia that results from anxiety. Different benzodiazepines vary in how quickly they act and how long they remain active in the body. That’s important because people have different types of sleeping problems. Some people have trouble falling asleep: They need a fast-acting medicine.

Others fall asleep easily but find themselves waking in the middle of the night: They need a longer-acting medicine. These drugs can cause next-day drowsiness and sedation. They can also reduce how much deep sleep you get – and you need deep, restorative sleep. So benzodiazepines can help you sleep, but they don’t increase what I think of as the most important kind of sleep. Another problem with benzodiazepines is that they start to lose their effect over time. As a result, many people find they need more and more of the drug to obtain the same effect. • Nonbenzodiazepines act on sleep receptors in your brain. They help you fall asleep more quickly, but they

may not lengthen your total sleep time. These drugs vary in how quickly they act and how long their effects last. Earlier this year, the FDA warned that people who take zolpidem (Ambien) can wake up the next morning with drug levels high enough to impair their ability to drive and do other activities safely – even if they feel wide awake. • Antidepressants can reduce the time it takes to fall asleep and decrease nighttime awakenings. The tricyclic antidepressants are particularly good for increasing the time in deep, restorative sleep. And they achieve this effect at very low doses – • well below the doses used to treat depression. Antidepressants are safer for long-term use

than benzodiazepines. Their effect on sleep quality varies. The tricyclics should be used with caution in people over age 50, however, as they can contribute to heart rhythm problems. • Melatonin-receptor agonist. Ramelteon (Rozerem) is the only drug in this category. It mimics the body’s naturally produced melatonin, a hormone that promotes sleep. Before you try a prescription sleep medication, give behavioral changes another chance. They are often just as effective as medication and may have longer-lasting benefits. This time, work with a sleep specialist trained in behavioral medicine.

Teens should never suppress hunger pangs Dr. Wallace: I’m 16 and trying hard to lose 15 pounds because I’m going to be in my sister’s wedding, which will take place in five weeks. My sister didn’t give me a choice. She said that I will be in the wedding party, and I will lose 15 pounds. I’m really on a strict diet, and so far I’ve lost five pounds by eating three very low-calorie meals with no between-meal snacks. My problem is that I get light-headed when I don’t snack. Will this condition do me any physical harm? – Lori, Baltimore, Md. Lori: Even when on a strict diet, it’s OK to eat between meals. Hunger pangs are your body’s way of telling

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace you that it needs fuel. Teens experience hunger pangs frequently because their bodies are changing and maturing. But just because it’s all right to snack doesn’t mean you should eat potato chips, French fries or other high-calorie junk foods. Instead, nibble on raw veggies, fresh fruit and low-fat cheese. Wedding or not, teens should never suppress hunger pangs just because they are dieting. Regardless of

Remember the old saying: “From those to whom much is given, much will be required.” SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Even though you are likely to feel a strong need for companionship, you will nevertheless be very careful about whom you choose to spend time with. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – If your goals seem easy to achieve, it will be because you haven’t been motivated by selfish urges. Things always seem easier when we like what we’re doing.

Instead, abide by the restrictions and continue to be super good. When you find Dad in a good mood, discuss what must be done to remove yourself from some of the restrictions. I doubt if Dad will remove them all, but he may reward your good behavior with a bit more freedom.

8CROSSWORD

Let the opponents help your cause Dean Martin said, “When your opponent’s sittin’ there holdin’ all the aces, there’s only one thing to do: kick over the table.” I have never seen that at a bridge tournament – but perhaps it has happened. It is generally considered that the opponents are not on your team. But many of them, especially when on defense, will throw tricks in your direction. And there are also deals where you can force the opponents to help you. South is in four hearts. How should he plan the play after West leads the spade king? With the annoying mirror distribution in the minors, declarer has four potential losers: one heart, two diamonds and one club. It looks as though South must guess trumps. If so, what is the percentage play? A priori, it is about 2 percent better to play for the drop. However, given the known uneven spade split, the odds have changed, making a finesse through East the favorite. Declarer, though, with reasonable minor-suit breaks, does not need to guess at all. He should win with dummy’s spade ace, ruff a spade in his hand, cash the club ace, play a club to dummy’s king, ruff another spade, lead a diamond to dummy’s ace, and ruff the last spade. Then South, who still has A-9-8 opposite K-J-10 in trumps, exits with a club or a diamond. The opponents take their three tricks, but at trick 11, they must help declarer. Whatever is led, South ruffs low in the next hand and does not have to guess who holds the heart queen. Perhaps East and West would wonder if they should have upended the table near the end!
