DeKalb Park Board hears pool options Cost of various plans run from $1.8 million to $5.6 million

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com DeKALB – A renovation that would keep Hopkins Pool running for the next 15 to 20 years would cost nearly $1.8 million, members of the DeKalb Park District’s ad-hoc Pool Consideration Committee told park board members Thursday.

That estimate includes a minimum renovation to the 40-year-old structure by replacing aging mechanics,

pumps and the concrete deck.

It assumes the pool shell is structurally sound.

“It wouldn’t address a lot of the aesthetic issues, but ... that would go a a long way to assuring that we have swimming in Hopkins Park for the next 20 years,” said commissioner Keith Nyquist, who drafted the pool report DeKalb Park Board members received.

For $3 million, the district

direction to take or require immediate action, commissioner and pool committee Chairman Per Faivre said.

“Over the next couple months, I’d like the board to reflect on this and then bring it to the table on how we’re going to move forward,” Faivre said.

The report is the result of six months of work on the part of the pool committee, which was formed to gather facts about

also could renovate the wading pool, large water slide, shade structures and build new deck structures. The park district would have to spend $5.1 million to $5.6 million for an extensive renovation that also would upgrade the bath house, replace existing slides and reroute Dresser Road, committee members found.

The 27-page report didn’t advise board members what

the Hopkins Pool and present them to the park board. The district has until 2015 to have a plan in place to make the pool comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Newly elected board members rejected an up to $6.4 million replacement plan and talks with the Sycamore Park District on a joint facility failed last year.

The district has $550,000

available every year for capital projects until 2019. After 2019, the district will have an additional $353,000 because it will have paid off bonds for the Sports and Recreation Center.

Lisa Small, superintendent of finance, said a 15-year $1.8 million bond with a 4 percent interest rate would cost $162,000 annually, meaning the district would have to wait on some other capital projects.

“We’ll be able to make it work if it’s what the board decides,” Small said.

Sunni militants vow to march on Iraqi capital

Reciprocal blessings

By SAMEER N. YACOUB and ADAM SCHRECK The Associated Press BAGHDAD – Islamic militants who seized cities and towns vowed Thursday to march on Baghdad to settle old scores, joined by Saddam Hussein-era loyalists and other disaffected Sunnis capitalizing on the government’s political paralysis over the biggest threat to Iraq’s stability since the U.S. withdrawal.

Trumpeting their victory, the militants also declared they would impose Shariah law in Mosul and other areas they have captured.

In northern Iraq, Kurdish security forces moved to fill the power vacuum – taking over an air base and other posts abandoned by the military in the ethnically mixed city of Kirkuk. The move further raised concern the country could end up partitioned into Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish zones.

Three planeloads of Americans were being evacuated from a major Iraqi air base in Sunni territory north of Baghdad, U.S. officials said, and Germany urged its citizens to immediately leave parts of Iraq, including Baghdad.

President Barack Obama said Iraq will need more help from the United States, but he did not specify what it would be willing to provide. Senior U.S. officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter by name said Washington is considering whether to conduct drone missions in Iraq.

Mom turns in foster license to focus on 3 children she adopted

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kahlstrom@shawmedia.com SHABONNA – People tell Rebeccah Cies she’s a blessing to the three foster children she adopted. In her eyes, it’s the opposite.

“They are a blessing to me,” Cies said.

After 20 years, more than 50 foster kids and three adoptions,

Cies turned in her foster care license. She plans to focus on the three children she has permanently welcomed into her home, while also being there for her three biological children.

State officials need more people like her.

Of those cases, 86 children are in foster care in DeKalb County in 69 licensed foster care homes, said DCFS deputy spokeswoman Veronica Resa.

THE FINE LINE Jason Akst new groomer.

As I watched different phases, I kept asking myself if I could have or should have done the work myself.

I think I could probably have done about 60 percent of the work, maybe 70 percent. I would rate myself about a 6 on a “handy scale” of 1 to 10, with 1 being Homer Simpson and 10 being Bob Vila.

The question then became: Could I do the individual parts of the project as well as the guys we were paying? Could I do the work as fast as they did? Did I have the right tools? Could I do it with one attempt, or would I screw something up and have to start over?

Just before our son was born, we had a guy clean and restretch the carpet in the soon-to-be baby’s room. I asked him if it was possible to rent the tools he used. Oh yeah, he said, people try to restretch their own carpet all the time.

“They usually call me after the blood starts flowing,” he said.

My father taught me basic carpentry and automotive skills. He was extraor-

Could you, should you DIY? Whoever said “If you want something done right, ya gotta do it yourself” was either a) Leonardo da Vinci, or b) really confident, maybe to the point of egotism.

I love doing things myself and derive great satisfaction from doing so. But DIY opportunities seem to be diminishing.

In March, a water pipe broke in our basement and saturated the finished half. It was clean water, not sewage, but still, it ruined the carpet, some drywall, and some wood trim.

The flooding happened in a room we had wanted to remodel, and since insurance covered the most expensive stuff, we decided to overhaul the room.

Throughout the project, we employed a plumber, two restoration crews to remove damaged stuff and clean, a painter to strip wallpaper and paint, an interior decorating company to install new pad and carpeting, a highly skilled handyman to replace the ceiling tiles and florescent lights, and a construction contractor to fix the drywall and replace the wood trim. About 15 people had a hand in renovating our basement.

Everyone was local/regional, and we’re happy with the work most of them did. There was even a bonus: The wife of the plumber runs a dog grooming business in Sycamore, so our dog has a

dinarily mechanically skilled, but Dad was famous for doing work on the cheap. There is much duct tape and scrap wire in our family’s history.

We affectionately call my father-inlaw “Mr. Fix-It.” He too, is extraordinarily skilled. Both men come from a time when doing it yourself wasn’t a choice. It was the way things were.

And as Father’s Day approaches, I worry what mechanical, carpentry, electrical and automotive skills I can pass on to my son. He’s a smart and capable boy, but he lives in a time of pervasive circuitry and planned obsolescence. I can perform nearly zero maintenance on the new hybrid car I wrote about last week. For all I know, even trying to do so might void the warranty. What can I teach him?

I wish we would design more things to be more easily fixable rather than easily replaceable.

Ill. health campaign among nation’s costliest

The Associated Press CHICAGO – President Barack Obama’s home state agreed to spend $33 million in federal money promoting his health care law, hiring a highpriced public relations firm for work that initially was mocked and spending far more per enrollee on TV ads than any other large state.

After getting a late start and facing intense pressure to avoid more embarrassment for the much-maligned law, Illinois officials last summer inked the most lavish contract in the history of FleishmanHillard’s Chicago office. The goal was getting uninsured residents to sign up for coverage.

More than 90 people, including executives from the firm and its subcontractors, billed at least $270 an hour for salary and overhead during the first four months.

The hourly amount far exceeded the contracts other states signed for similar work. Colorado paid its ad agency $120 an hour, for example. In Connecticut, a similar contract had rates topping out at $175 an hour.

The Associated Press, using open records requests, obtained hundreds of pages of contracts, bills, plans and heavily redacted emails between the marketing team and state officials.

Together, they raise questions about whether the state did enough to keep federal taxpayer costs under control.

The hourly rates are “absolutely excessive,” said Illinois Rep. Darlene Senger, a Naperville Republican who is running for Congress.

“That is more than you would pay a top surgeon,” Senger said. “They knew this had to be done years in advance, and they did everything last minute.”

The results were mixed for “Get Cov-

More than 217,000 new enrollees signed up, exceeding a federal target but lagging far behind the state’s own goal of 337,000, according to an internal document obtained by the AP. Failing at a state-run insurance exchange embraced by several other progressive states, Illinois officials had belatedly formed a partnership with the federal government by the spring of 2013.

Up against the wall and with a generous federal grant, officials in the cashstrapped state constructed the deluxe

contract to sell the idea of what pro-Republican political ads were attacking as “Obamacare.”

“It seems like it was a heavily front-loaded effort and it was. It was all hands on deck,” said FleishmanHillard senior partner Jack Modzelewski, arguing Illinois got good value for the price, despite the late start.

Jerry Swerling, director of public relations studies at the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, said it wasn’t surprising that the spending escalated – especially with the technical problems of the federal HealthCare.gov website.

Iraqi prime minister asked to declare state of emergency • IRAQ Continued from page A1 alarm over the stunning advances by fighters from the militant group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki had asked parliament to declare a state of emergency that would give him and his Shiite-led government increased powers to run the country, but the lawmakers failed to assemble a quorum.

The Islamic State, whose Sunni fighters have captured large swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria, aims to create an Islamic emirate spanning

both sides of the border. It has pushed deep into parts of Iraq’s Sunni heartland once controlled by U.S. forces because police and military forces melted away after relatively brief clashes, including in Iraq’s second-largest city of Mosul.

Skirmishes continued in several areas. Two communities near Tikirt – the key oil refining center of Beiji and the city of Samarra, home to a prominent Shiite shrine – remained in government hands, according to Iraqi intelligence officials. The price of oil jumped to above $106 a barrel as the insurgency raised the risk of disruptions to supplies.

In its statement, the Islamic State declared it would

start implementing its strict version of Shariah law in Mosul and other regions it had overrun. It said women should stay in their homes for modesty reasons, warned it would cut off the hands of thieves, and told residents to attend daily prayers. It said Sunnis in the military and police should abandon their posts and “repent” or else “face only death.”

The Islamic State’s spokesman vowed to take the fight into Baghdad. In a sign of the group’s confidence, he even boasted that its fighters will take the southern Shiite cities of Karbala and Najaf, which hold two of the holiest shrines for Shiite Muslims.

“We will march toward Baghdad because we have an account to settle there,” he

said in an audio recording posted on militant websites commonly used by the group.

The statement could not be independently verified.

Baghdad does not appear to be in imminent danger of a similar assault, although Sunni insurgents have stepped up car bombings and suicide attacks in the capital recently.

While ISIL fighters gained the most attention in this week’s swift advances, it was increasingly clear that other Sunnis were joining the uprising.

Several militant groups posted photos on social media purporting to show Iraqi military hardware captured by their own fighters, suggesting a broader-based rebellion like that in neighboring Syria.

Money trickles in for Sycamore fire engine New DeKalb police contract creates tiered pay scale

By ANDREA AZZO

aazzo@shawmedia.com

SYCAMORE – Sycamore’s first motorized vehicle still bears the city’s name.

The 1923 Stutz fire engine needs some sanding, repainting and minor work to get it running, said Sycamore fire Lt. Dan Marcinkowski, the department’s maintenance coordinator. He has been researching how to restore it.

“The fact you can still see ‘Sycamore’ on the hood after 90 years is awesome,” he said.

Residents can get a close look at the truck, the 217th truck Stutz ever made, during the car show July 27 in downtown Sycamore.

Sycamore Fire Preservation Company, a nonprofit organization made up of former and current members of the Sycamore Fire Department, is trying to raise $25,000 to restore the truck, which was the city’s first motorized fire engine.

“If people can see it, it might encourage them more to help us out,” said Gene Ege, former Sycamore fire chief who is leading efforts to restore the fire engine.

Organizers have raised 10 percent of their goal since formally re-launching fundraising efforts in April. The organization also tried to raise money in 2001, but took a hiatus after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Brochures were mailed to area businesses and residents April 28. The tax-deductible donations are being collected through a fund with the DeKalb County Community Foundation, 475 DeKalb Ave., Sycamore.

Ege said the goal is to get the truck running and replace the rubber tires. All four wheels still have the original wooden spokes, which the Sycamore Fire Preservation Company wants to keep.

The truck is currently stored in a garage at the Sycamore Fire Department. The

fire engine spent time with at least four different owners in both Wisconsin and Indiana.

It was removed from active service in 1957 and sold at a public auction in 1967.

Sycamore Fire Preservation Company members also hope to showcase the 1923 Stutz from Aug. 14 to 17 at The Sycamore Steam Show. The fire engine was sold during a 1967 public auction at the steam show, Ege said.

Realizing how much money they hope to raise, Ege said they will restore the truck as they are collecting donations.

Any excess money raised will benefit future fire department historical projects.

By ANDREA AZZO SYCAMORE – Teaching assistants and aides at Sycamore School District 427 can expect a slight salary increase for the next five years under a new contract.

The school board unanimously voted Tuesday to approve a five-year contract with paraeducators from The Sycamore Education Support Staff Association. The teaching aides are eligible for an average 2.8 percent increase in pay each year over the five years.

The current two-year contract that expires in August had no salary increase for the first year of the contract and a 1.5 percent salary increase in the second year of the contract.

Superintendent Kathy Countryman said negotiations

began in late spring. The Sycamore Education Support Staff Association’s main concern was that the previous contract had no salary increase for the first year, Countryman said.

“From a district perspective, we were looking at the longevity of the contract and ensuring those employees feel like they are appreciated,” she said. “We understand the role they play is vital to students’ growth. We want to show them that importance through the longevity of the contract.”

Teaching assistants are used when a class is over the school district’s recommended class size. They also work with students with special needs.

Paraeducators with no experience currently receive pay with an hourly rate of $9.90 an hour. The new contract will pay them $10.15 an hour, Countryman said.

Downtown Alive!

That means a paraeducator who starts in 2015 would make $11.37 in fiscal 2019, said Nicole Stuckert, director of financial services. The raises could cost $60,000 to $80,000 each year, Stuckert said.

The average pay for a paraeducator is $15 an hour, Stuckert said.

The pay for paraeducators represents about 3 percent of the salary portion of the district’s budget, Stuckert said.

An Illinois State Board of Education’s Individuals with Disabilities Education Act grant will help reimburse the school district for up to $3,500 per paraeducator, depending on if the paraeducator works full-time, for a total reimbursement of up to $308,000 a year, Stuckert said.

Last fiscal year, the district received $437,630 through the IDEA grant, Stuckert said.

cent increase July 1, 2015.

The raises are the same as included in the previous contract.

New officers will be subject to a different wage scale under the new contract, however. Previously, it would have taken an officer four years to get to the highest level of pay for a patrol officer, which will be $39.17 an hour, or $81,473 a year, beginning July 1. It will take new hires seven years to reach that level.

Sergeants are the highest-level of officers covered under the contract, earning $45.31 an hour, equal to $94,244 a year, as of July 1.

New officers also will fall into a different longevity pay scale than their veteran counterparts. Longevity pay will begin in the fifth year of employment for new hires rather than year three and will move from $21 to $10 a month.

Under the previous agreement, the amount of longevity increased by $7 annually until 27 years of service where it was capped at $175.

It will increase by $10 annually under the new contract and end at 30 years with a maximum payment of $260.

DeKalb aldermen approved a three-year contract with the Fraternal Order of Police Labor Council Local 115, which includes 55 police officers. The contract runs from July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2016. The police union has approved the contract, although it has yet to be signed.

The previous contract expired June 30, 2013, and the union has been negotiating in good faith with the city since. The newest contract is the first one since 2006 that has not ended in arbitration.

City Manager Anne Marie Gaura thanked those involved in negotiations for their patience.

“On behalf of city management, I would like to thank the FOP and the employee team for working with the city on this agreement,” Gaura said.

As with any negotiation, this contract is the result of give and take, said Todd Wells, officer and president of the union’s executive board.

“I would say, based on how negotiations started and what was important to our membership, we’re comfortable with where we are now,” Wells said.

Police officers will receive a retroactive 2.5 percent raise as of July 1, 2013; another 2.5 percent increase July 1; and another 2.5 per-

Goal of fostering is to reunite children, families • FOSTER FAMILIES Continued from page A1 parents in the places where these kids are from.”

Becoming a licensed foster parent in Illinois requires all members of the home pass a criminal background check.

License holders also must complete 27 hours of training, a physical and be financially stable. Being married isn’t a prerequisite for becoming a foster or adoptive parent, but perseverance is.

“We hear from foster parents that it can be challenging and rewarding,” Resa said.

“Children are challenges no matter what the circumstances.”

DECIDING TO FOSTER Seeing an aunt and uncle adopt 10 children and realizing the terrible conditions some children face inspired Cies, 50, of Shabonna, to foster children.

“I have always loved kids and babies,” Cies said. “I saw a program on orphans in Romania, and I thought there was plenty of work to be done here.”

In 2008, DCFS called Cies to the first of her three “little ones,” as she affectionately calls them. She started fostering all of them within two days after they were born because their biological mother and father were absent from the start, leaving the hospital after every birth.

“I knew from the beginning it would end in adoption,” Cies said. “It was right for me and right for them. It takes about five minutes to fall in love with a newborn.”

Her children, Donovan, 6, Avery, 6, and Anya, 5, all were born with cocaine in their systems, she said. Avery’s condition was so dire DeKalb

Cies learned of Avery’s unstable beginning by chance when she performed an insurance physical on the firefighter who was in the ambulance.

The state terminated the biological parents’ parental rights within a year, which Cies said made the adoption process easy.

“Easy” is not a word many adoptive parents would use to describe the process, Resa said.

The goal of fostering is to reunite children with their families. In cases where reunions aren’t possible, the goal becomes finding children a permanent home. In the current fiscal year, DCFS estimates 2,435 children will be reunited with their families, while 1,504 will be adopted or placed with

a guardian.

BLENDING FAMILIES Cies also has three biological children, two sons, Max Williams, 17, and Alec Williams, 25, and a daughter, 27-year-old Kendall Page.

Learning her mother was adopting three children was far from shocking to Page. She still remembers the call six years ago when she learned Avery would join the family permanently.

“My mom said, ‘It took 21 years, but you finally have a sister,’ ” Page said.

She doesn’t have any horror stories about troubled foster kids that lived with her family from the time she was 7. In fact, saying goodbye to some of the children is the most difficult situation Page can remember.

Sometimes her classmates

would question how Page and some of the foster children could be related, especially if the foster children were any race other than white. But Page recalls the questions were never pointed and the diversity of her family didn’t cause problems.

“To us, it was just normal,” Page said. “My mom explained that their parents couldn’t take care of them right now.”

Being adopted feels normal to Donovan, Avery and Anya, who Cies said are fully aware of their backgrounds. They have older siblings who feel like aunts and uncles and a mom who loves and cares for them.

Most importantly, Anya said, they give her food and play Barbies.

“I love her,” Anya said about her mom. “She’s cute.”

The proper use of Stars and Stripes

Robert Bergdahl and the beard of proof A few questions for all of you parents: What would you be willing to do to save the life of your child being held captive by the Taliban?

If you thought his or her captors might better hear your pleas spoken in their native language, would you learn it?

If you knew your child’s rescue depended on keeping his or her imprisonment on the public’s mind, would you change your appearance to telegraph how much time had passed? Would you do this even if some accused you of emulating your child’s captors?

Is it so hard to imagine a loving parent answering anything but “yes, a thousand times yes”? As a parent, I’d do just about anything, as long as it didn’t harm an innocent person, to bring my son or daughter home alive. In this way, I couldn’t be more ordinary in my frantic love for my children.

So it is disconcerting – appalling, really – to take in some of the coverage of Robert Bergdahl, the former UPS driver and father of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, whom U.S. troops rescued in a prisoner swap with the Taliban, who had held him captive for five years.

Robert Bergdahl has appeared with his wife, Jani, in two news conferences – one in Boise, Idaho, the other at the White House with President Barack Obama.

Bergdahl showed up with relief in his eyes and a long blond beard on his face. He also slipped between English and Pashto, the language of southern Afghanistan, when addressing his son.

Bergdahl’s facial hair tells the story of the passage of time since his only son was imprisoned – the days that turned into months that became years. His brief comments in Pashto were an apparent attempt to communicate with his son, who, he worried, may no longer understand English well.

“Bowe, I love you. I’m your father,” he

VIEWS Connie Schultz said at the Idaho news conference. “I’ve written to you over and over. Can you speak English still? ... I hope that when you hear this – and when you’re ready to hear this ... I hope your English is coming back. ... I love you. ... I’m so proud of your character ... your patience and your perseverance ... your cultural abilities to adapt, your language skills, your desire and your action to serve this country in a very difficult, long war.”

In explaining why he and his wife were waiting to speak to their son, Bergdahl compared him to a diver coming up slowly from the ocean depths.

“We haven’t talked to Bowe yet.

“We haven’t called him on the phone. ... There’s a reason for that. ... Bowe has been gone so long that it’s going to be very difficult to come back. ... If he comes up too fast, it could kill him.”

In the days since Bowe Bergdahl’s rescue, the story has evolved quickly from one of celebration to blame. A few men who served with him have publicly denounced him as a deserter who caused the deaths of six to eight soldiers dispatched to find him.

These claims gained steady traction in the media, but The New York Times last week that “a review of casualty reports and contemporaneous military logs from the Afghanistan war shows that the facts surrounding the eight deaths are far murkier than definitive.”

This hasn’t stopped some conservative pundits from attacking Bowe Bergdahl – and now his father.

“He has learned to speak Pashto, the language of the Taliban, and looks like a Muslim,” Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly said.

“He’s also somewhat sympathetic to Islam, actually thanking Allah right in front of the president.”

I want to invite O’Reilly to come for a visit to Holmes County, Ohio, where he can meet countless Mennonites who smile behind beards similar – suspiciously so, in Fox parlance – to Robert Bergdahl’s.

Not to be outdone, Brian Kilmeade of “Fox & Friends” added: “He said he was growing his beard because his son was in captivity. Well, your son’s out now. So if you really ... no longer want to look like a member of the Taliban, you don’t have to look like a member of the Taliban. Are you out of razors?”

I draw attention to these uninformed judgments because they are reverberating on the Web. They also offer all of us an opportunity to reflect on what we would do if Bowe Bergdahl were our child, if his parents’ fears had been ours.

We have become a culture of immediacy, demanding all the information right this very minute. As was so evident during the parents’ initial statements, the human heart cannot be rushed. That is as true today as it was before any of us had ever heard of the Internet or CNN. We absorb what we can, in our own time. Sometimes, love requires us to wait.

Why didn’t Robert Bergdahl shave off his beard before that news conference at the White House?

Such a ridiculous question.

Instead, let’s ask ourselves: How do we look at that bushy blond beard and not see the face of an anguished father who refused to believe that his son would never come home?

Dems hold on White House will grow stronger

The winner in Tuesday’s mind-boggling defeat of Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor wasn’t just David Who? (Actually, David Brat.) It also was gridlock – for the remainder of this congressional session, and the next one, and probably for a number of years beyond that.

Brat’s victory is almost certain to push the Republican Party to the right on the very issue that will cement the Democrats’ hold on the White House: immigration. It’s not that Cantor’s alleged squishiness on the undocumented was the only issue in play; there were many reasons why Brat prevailed. One of them, surely, had to be voters’ almost pan-ideological revulsion at the congressional leadership.

Brat, an economics professor at Randolph-Macon College, also attacked Cantor for his consistent defense of Wall Street.

“All the investment banks in New York and D.C. – those guys should have gone to jail,” Brat said at a tea party rally last month. “Instead of going to jail, they went on Eric’s Rolodex, and they are sending him big checks.”

But Brat reserved most of his ire for Cantor’s willingness to entertain a bill that would legalize undocumented immigrants – “40 million” – who were bound to bring down Americans’ wages, he told the tea

party. It’s the anti-immigrant theme that has dominated the discourse since Tuesday night. House Republicans, some of whom were flirting with the notion of treating the undocumented as human beings, are now certain to oppose bringing any immigration reform bill to a vote.

This newly reinforced intransigence could not be further from the actual sentiments of the American people. On the same day as Cantor’s defeat, the Public Religion Research Institute and the Brookings Institution released a survey of Americans’ attitudes toward immigrants and immigration reform. Fully 62 percent (including 51 percent of Republicans) supported legislation enabling the undocumented to become citizens, and 17 percent backed legalization short of citizenship. Only 19 percent favored deporting the undocumented – although 30 percent of Republicans and 37 percent of tea party participants backed that option.

Juxtapose those numbers against Tuesday’s Cantor debacle and the result can only be a widening of the parties’ differences on an issue of major electoral import.

House Republicans, the vast majority of them safely cocooned in neatly gerrymandered, right-wing, lily-white districts, will continue to block efforts at immigration

reform.

President Obama is likely to respond by extending his do-not-deport policy, currently applicable to undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children, to a wider range of people – perhaps to the undocumented parents of U.S.-born children. Latinos will have every reason to go to the polls, particularly in presidential election years, to punish Republicans. (As polling has shown that Latinos favor a bigger government delivering more services, they’d vote heavily Democratic anyway, but the deepening of Republican nativism will only boost their turnout.)

The Democrats’ hold on the White House will grow stronger. The Senate will eventually tilt more Democratic, too, since states will become more racially diverse and their boundary lines can’t be gerrymandered. But the rightward movement of the Republican House will continue apace.

Unless the Democrats can wrest control of the House from the GOP – no mean feat, considering the gerrymandering and voter-suppression battlements that Republicans have thrown up around their districts – gridlock will intensify.

On Saturday, we commemorate National Flag Day, the day the Second Continental Congress adopted the American flag. It was officially established by proclamation in 1916 by President Woodrow Wilson and again in 1949 by an act of Congress.

If you’ve never demonstrated pride in your country and support for the military by displaying the flag, Saturday is a good day to begin. But whether you’re a first-time flag exhibitor or you fly one 24/7, it’s important to know that because the flag represents a living country, it comes with official guideFor the record lines for proper display and respect.

If you’ve never demonThis is true whether strated pride in your your flag is a free downloadcountry and support for the able and printable coloring military by displaying the page for the kids or a silk flag, Saturday is a good day antique. to begin.

Guidelines from the flag code include: • Generally, where buildings and stationary flagstaffs are concerned, one only flies a flag from sunrise to sunset.

• Illuminate your flag at night if you plan to fly it round the clock.

• In bad weather, fly only flags made of all-weather material.

• Don’t drape your flag over the hood, top, sides, or back of your vehicle.

• Other flags and pennants should not fly above, at the same level or to the right of the American flag.

• The flag must never touch the ground.

• Flags should not be worn as clothes, costumes or other apparel; treated negligently; used for advertising; or serve double-duty as bedspreads or food containers. Eating your bratwurst from a paper plate with an American flag design is not the best way to show your patriotism.

• Storing your flag: Balling it up and tossing it in a corner or stuffing it inside a box won’t do. Properly fold your flag before putting it away. The American Legion gives illustrated, step-by-step instructions at www.legion.org/flag/folding. Or ask a Boy Scout to demonstrate it for you. He’ll be thrilled that you asked.

• When a flag becomes too tattered or soiled for use, throwing it away in the garbage can is a no-no.

Call an American Legion. Members will perform an unserviceable flag ceremony to give your flag a dignified ending. If you dispose of the flag yourself, you must burn it.

Ultimately, the American Flag represents the freedoms upon which this country was founded and the blood of brave men and women that fought to preserve them. Please remember to treat it as such. For more federal regulations on the American flag, visit www.usflag.org/uscode36.html

Drug-testing welfare recipients won’t work The ACLU is ridiculing Florida Gov. Rick Scott for frittering away nearly $400,000 in taxpayer dollars on legal fees to defend drug-testing laws.

We don’t think that is an excessive amount to spend fighting the scourge of drugs, but the courts have made clear this is a losing battle. It’s time the governor changed tactics.

The governor and lawmakers in 2011 adopted measures requiring all welfare applicants to be tested for drugs and also requiring state workers to be drug tested.

The goals were simple and laudatory: to curtail drug use and ensure tax dollars are not spent on drugs.

Given that private employers routinely require workers to undergo drug tests, the provisions hardly seem oppressive.

But the courts have consistently disagreed. The U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, a conservative-leaning court, found that a blanket drug-test requirement for state employees violated their right to privacy, although it allowed that the tests could be appropriate for certain jobs.

The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the state’s appeal.

The governor continues to defend the requirements.

We admire Scott’s motives, but it seems obvious that he will not prevail. The superior course would be to revise the requirements to make them constitutional.

This can be done by requiring the tests when there is cause to suspect drug use.

After all, the 11th Circuit did find that the state could require the drug testing of state workers without cause if safety was a factor. So testing should be possible for law enforcement officials, heavy equipment operators and such.

Such policies might not go as far as the governor wants, but they would advance the drug fight without constitutional pitfalls or additional legal fees.

Police and World Cup protesters clash in Brazil SAO PAULO – Protesters and Brazilian police clashed in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and at least three other World Cup cities Thursday ahead of the first match of soccer’s premier event.

Just after the match started, about 300 protesters demonstrating against the World Cup marched along Rio’s Copacabana beach and stopped outside the FIFA Fan Fest – a closed and secured area on the beach where hundreds of fans are watching the match on a massive screen.

The protesters were carrying banners with slogans knocking the Cup. The protest was peaceful, but there were worries that violence could break out as several adherents to the anarchist “Black Bloc” tactic were seen in the crowd of demonstrators in Copacabana.

In Sao Paulo, more than 300 demonstrators gathered along a main highway leading to the stadium in Sao Paulo.

like. ‘I’m just going to graduate early, it’s the better thing to do.’ “ All Day needed to do to graduate a semester ahead of time was have her teachers at Belleville West sign off, as well as add another English course.

Day ended up taking a visit to NIU last fall, liked the coaches and facilities and ended up committing.

“It was more that I needed to move on for me, because I needed that extra coaching, that extra level,” Day said of leaving high school a semester early. “So, I really needed that. My summer coach, he really helped me, but I saw that I needed more. I knew college coaches had that.”

LAKE FOREST – Dozens of high school coaches took in the frenzied pace of Marc Trestman’s practices in the Walter Payton Center this week.

But only two of them – Mount Carmel coach Frank Lenti and his brother David – walked in with an enduring bond with the local star at work on the field.

“It seems like yesterday I was just playing for [Lenti],” college quarterback-turned-running back Jordan Lynch said.

Did he know his high school coach was coming?

“Yep,” Lynch said.

“He texted me.”

Mount Carmel, St. Christina Elementa- Jordan Lynch ry School and Mount Greenwood never are far for Lynch.

(Lynch’s hotel home in Lake Forest is 45 minutes from his boyhood home.)

Additional hopes and dreams also come with close proximity.

Lynch’s No. 36 jersey might not be regular attire in the bars that line Western Avenue on the Far Southwest Side yet, but his celebrity is very real.

And Lynch feels it.

“A little bit more every day,” Lynch said after organized team activities this week. “But I’m kind of a low-key guy. I don’t go out where there’s a bunch of noise or anything like that.”

Still, knowing that a city is rooting for him can be overbearing.

“I try to forget about it,” Lynch said.

Instead, Lynch focuses on his many tasks at hand. His trips home are weekend visits, if that. Minicamp is next week. Then comes training camp, where he no longer will be a longtime fan in attendance but a keenly watched participant.

“It hasn’t sunk in yet,” Lynch said.

Lynch puts in extra work with running backs coach Skip Peete, and Matt Forte “helps anybody out as much as possible,” Lynch said. He’s listened to his coaches’ calls to improve his pass blocking.

The Bears’ offense, though, is on a different planet than the one Lynch ran at Northern Illinois and made him a Heisman Trophy finalist. Sure, he’s run the ball plenty in his career, but this also isn’t Mount Carmel’s veer option.

“We ran a lot of power [formations and plays] in college,” Lynch said. “Some of these different zone (blocking) schemes we got going on now, I’m just trying to pick up and watch film and try to carry it over to the field. It’s reading the right guy at the right time.”

Making the Bears’ 53-man roster isn’t just an uphill battle for Lynch.

It’s more like scaling the Willis Tower. He knows the Bears have a full stable of running backs, including fourth-round pick Ka’Deem Carey.

Lynch has to impress during special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis’ diverse drills, which can feature volleyballs and medicine balls. Lynch has done about everything in them.

“I’ve never played special teams before. It’s different,” Lynch said.

“But I’m open-minded. I’m willing to do anything, and I’m having fun in there. It’s one of the three phases of the game, and it’s very important.”

Early jump start Freshman high jumper in National Championships months after graduating high school ahead of schedule

After her junior season at Belleville West High School in the Metro East area of St. Louis, Day had contact with collegiate coaches, and the thought of starting her college career early crept into her head – even if she was just joking around with it at first.

Heat forward LeBron James reacts to a play during the second half of Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night in Miami. The Spurs won, 107-86. to take a 3-1 series lead. Game 5 is Sunday night in San Antonio. No team ever has rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the Finals to win the NBA championship.

NBA FINALS, GAME 4: SPURS 107, HEAT 86

Spurs 1 win away from crown

By BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press MIAMI – The San Antonio Spurs have three more chances to grab the championship trophy that slipped away last year.

The way they’re dominating the Miami Heat, they might need only one.

Kawhi Leonard had 20 points and 14 rebounds, and the Spurs routed the Heat again, winning 107-86 Thursday night to open a commanding 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals.

Game 5 Miami at San Antonio, 7 p.m. Sunday, ABC The Spurs can win their fifth NBA championship with a victory at home in Game 5 Sunday and avenge their seven-game loss to Miami last year. And if the Heat are going to deny them again, it will take the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history.

LeBron James tried to keep the

Heat in it with 28 points and eight rebounds, but Dwyane Wade was only 1 of 10 through three quarters and finished with 10 points.

No team has overcome a 3-1 deficit in the Finals, and the way they were outclassed twice on their home floor makes it hard to imagine the two-time champions being the first.

Tony Parker added 19 points, and Tim Duncan had 10 points and 11 rebounds for the Spurs, who shot 57 percent from the field.

STANLEY CUP FINAL: KINGS VS. RANGERS

NBA

Kings eager to raise Cup at home

FINALS

By GREG BEACHAM

Game 5

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Kings already know there’s no place like home ice for a coronation.

They’ve got the chance to lift the Stanley Cup at Staples Center again when they host the New York Rangers in Game 5 of the Final tonight, giving the ultimate celebration to their long-suffering fans for the second time in three years.

Yet the Kings’ memories of that night in June 2012 weren’t a popular subject Thursday as they prepared for the chance to finish another draining, twomonth postseason with one big party.

“It doesn’t matter where you win the fourth,” Jarret Stoll

Rangers at Kings, 7 p.m. today, NBC said at the Kings’ training complex. “This time of year, it’s all about the result.”

With the weary poise of a team that already has been through three seven-game series this spring, the Kings insisted they’re not bothered by their inability to finish a sweep in New York. Mike Richards and the Kings calmly flew home, grabbed a few hours of sleep and focused on a good start to Game 5, figuring it will lead to the big finish.

“It’s not going to be easy, but confidence is there,” Richards

said. “If we play well, we think that we can have success. You don’t make it to this point of the season without having confidence in your team.”

Stoll is tired of the Kings’ weak starts, however. The Rangers have taken 2-0 leads in three of the series’ four games, forcing Los Angeles to play catch-up hockey – something the Kings do extraordinarily well, but would prefer to skip tonight.

“We know we can do more, especially at the start of games,” Stoll said.

Henrik Lundqvist gave the Rangers hope with his 40-save performance in Game 4, earning another cross-country trip for the Eastern Conference champions. The goalie’s unflappable poise – and one or two

OAKLAND, Calif. – A former president of CBS Sports said he fears the popularity of college sports would suffer if athletes receive money to play because fans enjoy the concept of young people playing sports for the love of the game.

Testifying in a landmark antitrust case brought against the NCAA, Neal Pilson said giving athletes money for the use of their images on TV broadcasts might also set off a “land rush” among conferences and schools to spend whatever is needed to attract the best football and basketball players.

“I have a substantial concern it would change the fabric of the sport,” Pilson said. “A significant number of people in the public see one concept of college sports being that young people are playing for the joy of the game would convert into a sense that, well, this is just another professional sport.”

Summer funds delayed 9 days for 60 Hawaii athletes HONOLULU – About 60 Hawaii scholarship athletes were delayed nine days in receiving their summer funds, prompting some to sleep in a locker room while waiting for checks totaling about $92,000, university athletics officials said.

Hawaii athletic director Ben Jay told The Associated Press on Thursday that clerical problems delayed processing of the scholarship funds from both the athletics department and the university’s financial aid department. He said the stipends have to be carefully processed to avoid paying wrong amounts – something that’s not as easy as pulling out a checkbook.

“When it comes right down to it, we need to plan better,” Jay said.

Game 4 of Stanley Cups Finals draws 2.0 rating STAMFORD, Conn. – The New York Rangers’ victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday night in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final averaged 3,383,000 viewers and a 2.0 rating on NBC Sports Network.

Locally, Los Angeles had a 7.3 rating, the market’s best on NBCSN for an NHL game. New York had its second-best NHL rating on NBCSN with an 8.1, trailing an 8.5 for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals against Montreal.

No charges in Fla. for Kaepernick, 2 others MIAMI – San Francisco 49ers star quarterback Colin Kaepernick and two other NFL players will not face charges in an incident involving a woman at a downtown hotel, prosecutors announced Thursday.

A memo released by the Miami-Dade County State Attorney’s Office said there was insufficient evidence that any crime was committed in the hotel room April 1. Tests indicated the woman was not sexually assaulted and other evidence backed up the players’ contention that nothing happened.

puck-slowing mounds of snow – helped keep the Rangers in the series with a 2-1 win in Game 4.

And now that they’re off the canvas, the Rangers realize they have ample reason to be comfortable at Staples Center, where they never trailed in their two series-opening overtime losses. The Rangers still mixed it up in their return to the visitors’ dressing room for practice Thursday: except for their two goalies, every player took a new locker.

“I know if we win (Game 5), they’re definitely going to feel the pressure,” Lundqvist said.

“We were in that spot playing Montreal. The closer you are to your final goal, obviously you tend to think more. That’s just the way you work. It’s hard not to.”

Sticking to The Plan can be daunting

White Sox starter Chris Sale listens to catcher Tyler Flowers during the fifth inning of Thursday night’s game against the Detroit Tigers at U.S. Cellular Field. The Sox lost, 4-0.

TIGERS 4, WHITE SOX 0

Tigers’ Scherzer outduels Sale Sox fail to pull off 3-game home sweep

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Don Cooper recalled being with his teenage son shortly after Chris Sale came off the disabled list May 22.

“He kind of follows what goes on and he says, ‘Hey, Sale’s back huh?’

And I said, ‘Yeah, you know what? I think I’m a lot better pitching coach now,’ ” Cooper said. “He laughed.”

Sale has that “everybody’s getting better” affect on everyone around him. He makes Robin Ventura a better manager, Tyler Flowers a better catcher and probably makes his infielders and outfielders better because of his up-tempo pace that keeps them on the alert. When he strikes out 10 batters in seven innings, as he did in a 4-0 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Thursday, it’s an easy night for the defense.

As good as Sale was, Tigers righthander Max Scherzer was better.

Maybe Sale brought out the best in the two-time Cy Young winner in a matchup that Ventura admittedly was looking forward to.

“Yeah you do,’’ he said before Thursday’s night game in front of 20,626 at U.S. Cellular Field. “It’s not as enjoyable with the guy you’re facing. But you enjoy ’em. That’s part of competition. You like seeing games, matchups like this. You also like your guy facing somebody like this. It has always been a fun part of the game.’’

The Tigers’ only run against Sale came on Victor Martinez’s home run leading off the fifth inning. Martinez hooked what looked to be a flat slider inside the left-field foul pole for his 16th homer of the season. Sale left the game after seven innings trailing 1-0, having allowed five hits, no walks and striking out 10. He threw 116 pitches, lowering his ERA to 1.97.

It was Sale’s 16th career game with 10 or more strikeouts and third of his career with no walks and 10 or more strikeouts. He also turned that trick May 22 against the Yankees.

Next vs. Kansas City, 7:10 p.m. today, CSN, AM-670 Scherzer led 1-0 when Sale exited, and the Tigers gave him two more runs in the eighth inning against Jake Petricka. Miguel Cabrera’s infield chopper over the mound, the Tigers’ third single of the inning, scored two runs when second baseman Gordon Beckham couldn’t field it cleanly with his bare hand.

Scherzer went into the game with a 7-2 record and 3.38 ERA. Asked before the game if Scherzer didn’t have quite the same magic as last season, when he went 21-3 with a 2.90 ERA to win his second Cy Young in three years, Ventura almost sounded prophetic.

“He has the stuff,’’ Ventura said.

“I don’t know about the magic part of it. I think any time you’re a team going into it thinking he doesn’t have it you’ll find out real quick that he does have the stuff to still win [the Cy Young] and win games and be very good.’’

Sale, who destroyed a bat after blowing a 5-0 lead against the Angels in his most recent start Saturday in Anaheim, California, didn’t have much to be angered about Thursday.

The Sox gave him no offensive support, but he had to admire what Scherzer was doing.

“He’s had it before, last year, when he went through periods we didn’t score for him but he continues to pitch,’’ Ventura said of Sale’s fiery demeanor. “I don’t see that as a thing to concern yourself with.

“That’s fine with me. He’s been like that since I’ve been here – that’s part of his makeup, probably what drives him. He breaks some stuff, there a lot of guys who do that.’’

The Sox were looking for their first three-game sweep of the Tigers since 2008 and their first at home since 2006.

Scherzer pitched the first complete game of his career.

PITTSBURGH – Last year, when the rebuilt Pittsburgh Pirates were heading to a 94-win season and the playoffs, it was easy to look across the field from the Cubs’ dugout to get a glimpse of what the Cubs’ brass has in mind while they sacrifice all these big-league seasons to The Plan.

This year it’s not as easy to see “sustained success” in Pittsburgh, even with a young core in place, which offers a reminder of how uncertain and difficult winning is in the majors regardless of best-laid plans.

And perhaps even calls into question the risk of giving away seasons wholesale in such processes.

“To win year in and year out Next is extremely challenging,” Pirates general manager Neal Hunat Philadelphia, tington said, “and we’ve learned 6:05 p.m. today, the hard way that it’s much hardWGN, AM-720 er to win when you’re expected to win. It’s much easier chasing than being chased.”

Certainly, the season is far from over for the near-.500 Pirates, who helped their cause by taking three of four games from the Cubs this week, including a 4-0 victory Thursday.

Injuries have taken a toll in recent weeks, with homegrown top starter Gerrit Cole landing on the disabled list (shoulder fatigue) last week and Opening Day starter Francisco Liriano suffering an oblique injury Tuesday against the Cubs.

The Pirates remain optimistic.

“We feel we are still in a competitive position,” manager Clint Hurdle said.

Even more important, he said, is sticking with the plan at times like this – a plan drawn up 6½ years ago when Huntington took over and brought into focus the past 3½ with Hurdle as manager.

“The one thing I think too many corporations, companies, teams do is they get close, they push through, then they don’t get that same feelgood result and then they change,” Hurdle said.

“There’s something to being stubborn with your core values and the core principles on which you built this thing up.”

It took years of remaining steadfast to the plan to even get the Pirates this far. Where they go from here – even if Cole and Liriano return strong – is anything but certain. Not with firstplace Milwaukee and defending NL champ St. Louis in the same division – and a competitive core in place for division-rival Cincinnati.

The Cubs aren’t even that far into a Theo Epstein/Jed Hoyer plan that might take longer than the Huntington/Hurdle plan to produce a postseason. Promised new revenues from the stadium renovation and potential TV rights increases could be three to five years from making a significant impact on the baseball department.

And once Thursday’s starter, Jeff Samardzija, is traded sometime in the next six weeks, the process will seem even longer, if not less certain.

The difference-maker, of course, is the promise of all that new revenue at some point.

“It doesn’t mean you’re going to be better; it doesn’t mean it’s easier,” said Huntington, who still is dealing with small-market realities in the best of times. “You just have a larger margin for error.

“And they’ve got great young talent coming,” he said of the Cubs. “We supplemented our young talent last year with (free-agents) Russell Martin and Francisco Liriano, and with A.J. Burnett the year before. To shorten our cycle a little bit because we felt like our young players were ready.”

Cubs brass might start that process next winter, even before the kids are ready to compete, to provide a support system for the transition. From there, it’ll be about player development, the timeline on new money – maybe even Manny Ramirez the mentor.

“There really is not a single way,” Huntington said. “It’s really hard to win if you’re going to build completely through free agency. It’s really hard to win if you’re only going to build through trades. And it’s really hard to win if you’re going to build only through your farm system.”

Until then, it’s even harder when you’re not trying.

U.S. OPEN

BEARS

Kaymer seizes lead with 65 Indoor OTA takes

By DOUG FERGUSON PINEHURST, N.C. – Much to his delight, Martin Kaymer discovered that Pinehurst No. 2 was even more different than he imagined in the U.S. Open.

This wasn’t the beast of a course that Kaymer and so many other players were expecting.

This was a day for scoring.

Kaymer made six birdies Thursday afternoon, three on the final five holes, that sent the 29-year-old German to the lowest score in three Opens at Pinehurst No. 2. He made a 6-foot par putt on the 18th hole for a 5-under-par 65 and a three-shot lead.

“It was more playable than I thought,” he said. “I think that made a big difference mentally, that you feel like there are actually some birdies out there, not only bogeys.”

So much was made of the new look at No. 2, which was restored to its old look from more than a half-century ago. There also was plenty of talk that this U.S. Open would be as tough as any U.S. Open.

When he finished his final day of practice Wednesday under a broiling sun, Kaymer was asked what it would take to win.

“I said plus 8 because the way the golf course played on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,” he said. “But obviously, they softened the conditions a little bit so it was more playable. So hopefully, I’m not right with the plus 8. I would be disappointed.”

Martin Kaymer, of Germany, watches his tee shot on the 18th hole during the first round of the U.S. Open on Thursday in Pinehurst, N.C. Former U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell took the conservative route on his way to a 68 that featured 15 pars, one bogey, one birdie and one eagle. He was joined

by Kevin Na, Brendon de Jonge and Fran Quinn, a 49-year-old who last played a U.S. Open in 1996, when Tiger Woods still was an amateur.

“This was a golf course where I spent the last few days just preparing myself mentally for the challenge, really, knowing that this golf course wasn’t going to give much and it was only going to take,” McDowell said. “I’m assuming they put some water on this place this morning. And we were able to take advan-

PINEHURST, N.C. – The opening round of the U.S. Open at par-70, 7,562-yard Pinehurst No. 2: Leading: Martin Kaymer birdied six holes, including three of the last five, en route to a 65.

Pursuing: Kevin Na, Graeme McDowell, Brendon de Jonge and Fran Quinn all are three shots back.

Drifting: Top-ranked Adam Scott shot 73. Masters champion Bubba Watson floundered to a 76.

Where’s Phil? Mickelson, a runner-up at the U.S. Open a record six times, had an even-par 70.

And Tiger? Woods continues to recover from back surgery, and has now missed six majors.

Key stat: The 15 players under par were the most to shoot in the 60s in a U.S. Open opening round since 24 players managed the feat in 2003 at Olympia Fields.

Shot of the day: McDowell, a former U.S. Open champion, knocked his 3-wood to 12 feet at the par-5 fifth and made the putt for eagle.

– The Associated Press tage of that a little bit early on and actually think about getting at some of those flags.”

Brandt Snedeker, who had a chance at 30 on his front nine, had to settle for being part of a large group at 69 that included 20-year-old Jordan Spieth, Henrik Stenson, Matt Kuchar and Dustin Johnson.

It’s hard without the throwing, without the lanes, without the long jump.

It’s extremely difficult,” Teaberry said. “And all the high schools have tracks. So if you’re recruiting a kid, they’re at a high school and they have a track, it’s like, ‘Why would I come here, you don’t have a track.’

“Northern Illinois, the administration, the president have definitely put a lot of money into athletics, and we are reaping the benefits of it

through our recruiting and the talent we’re able to bring in, and those girls are going to perform at the conference meet and do great things nationally.”

Day hopes the facilities will be one thing that helps bring more athletes to the national stage, where she thinks Day can be a fixture.

“Sky is the limit,” Teaberry said.

“As long as she keeps her focus and believing in herself, sky is the limit for her.”

LAKE FOREST – The gray clouds hanging above Walter Payton Center on Wednesday were silent but powerful. They pushed Bears practice underneath the dome and cornerback Kelvin Hayden into a backpedal on the patch of turf where football first felt possible again.

In November, three months after he suffered a season-ending hamstring tear in training camp, Hayden came to the dome to try to start over. Hayden started running striders. They felt easy, and his trainers were impressed, so he pushed harder. He moved faster. It all felt right.

He remembers standing at the 40-yard-line when he knew he had a chance.

“You hear so many things about the injury,” he said. “Guys don’t come back 100 percent. Guys do come back even better. I just didn’t know where I was going to fall into place yet. My first day out here running, it was just like, ‘Man, I’ve come a long way.’ I’ve put in the work. And to see the after effect of the work you put in, it was an emotional moment.”

Hayden has come a long way, but he knows he can’t lose sight of how much farther he has to go.

The Bears rewarded his progress in February with a contract, but it is set to expire after this season. They brought him back, but also drafted a cornerback, Virginia Tech’s Kyle Fuller, who recently has received reps with the first-team nickel defense, as Hayden had before his injury.

“This is a business,” he said, shrugging. “But I know what I can do.”

Before last season, one in which he spent Bears games lying still in bed, Hayden was a defender who could make some noise. In 2012, his first season with the Bears after coming over from the Falcons, Hayden tied for the NFL lead in fumble recoveries. The Bears rewarded him with another one-year deal. Step by step, the Hubbard High School graduate was starting to make a name in his hometown at the highest level of football.

Then came one play in August at Soldier Field. Hayden tore his ham-

running back now, and I couldn’t be any happier.”

He will be if he makes the team.

“One thing I do know, that no matter what happens at the end, I know that the city has my back,” Lynch said.

“They want the best for me, and they want me to be a Chicago Bear. I’m going to play my heart out to do that.”

“It was kind of my motivation as well,” Hayden said. “Is this going to be the break of you, or are you going to accept the challenge and better yourself?”

His return started with diet.

He visited a nutritionist after his surgery. His steps to standing and walking came slow and under careful supervision. Eventually, tired of being the forgotten Bear, Hayden asked his trainers if he could try running, and they came to this field.

On Wednesday, Hayden said his body felt to be at 100 percent and that his feet actually were quicker than before the injury. They might need to be if he wants to circle back to a starting nickel position in what now is a crowded secondary.

It’s a question that will be answered in the coming weeks, not right this moment. Hayden is willing to take each step.

“You come to a point where you know football isn’t forever,” Hayden said. “You’ve been playing this game for a long time, since you were a kid. You want to hold on as long as you can. I’m pretty sure everybody wants that.”

Day cleared 5 feet, 7¾ inches at the West prelims, and has a season-best of 5-10. The top-seven high jumpers in the field had prelim marks of 5-11¼.

“I think the biggest thing is, when you’re focused and you compete, and you want it, you’ve got to believe in yourself. She’ll be fine,” NIU coach Connie Teaberry said. “She steps up to the plate, she doesn’t shy down. These are some of the girls she’s seen all year-round. It’ll be in the best venue for track and field, so it will be a great experience for her.”

Day is the second NIU athlete to qualify for nationals. Shot putter Ashley Morrow earned a spot in 2007.

The program was cut in 1982 but reinstated in 2000.

Since the NIU Soccer and Track & Field Complex opened in 2008, the NIU program has came a long way, and the Chessick Practice Center has been a big boost for track and field facilities, as well.

By NATE ATKINS natkins@chicagofootball.com

LAKE FOREST – For a few weeks, Willie Young was “Free Agency Prize No. 2” for the Bears, behind fellow defensive end Lamarr Houston. With Jared Allen and some rookies added to the mix, along with some key re-signings, Young might be easy to forget when discussing the new-look Bears defense.

The former Lion is expected to be a key factor in the pass rush, coming to the Bears after his breakout season, when he had 47 tack- Willie Young les, three sacks and five passes defensed while starting 15 games. Young has one key motto he relies on.

“Adapt and overcome is the key to success right now,” he said after Wednesday’s organized team activities. “Just getting used to a new scheme, the environment, the city, the fans and everything that people might not pay attention to, but it plays a big factor in being successful and the start of a new beginning.”

Part of the fun for Young thus far has been working with veterans Allen and Jeremiah Ratliff.

“I remember playing video games [as] Ratliff when I was in high school. It’s kind of crazy,” Young said.

Allen, the big-ticket get in free agency, has shown Young a thing or two as well about rushing the passer.

“He’s like a coach sometimes because he has so much to offer,” Young said. “I find myself afterwards writing a lot of it down so I can retain it a little better.”

Joining an impressive defensive line group shouldn’t be unfamiliar territory for Young coming from the group in Detroit. He said he learned a lot from Kyle Vanden

Bosch about his attitude and his motor.

“Effort says a lot. Demeanor, your body language, it all goes a long way,” he said.

Young and other defensive linemen worked on what appeared to be some hand-to-hand combat off to the side at the end of Wednesday’s practice, as that group is a beneficiary of the Bears’ hire of martial arts expert Joe Kim, the team’s assistant strength/skill development coach.

“It’s night and day with my hands right now, just over the course of two months,” Young said. “[Kim] is a great guy, definitely helping with the craft. The whole intention is to better your success.”

Like the rest of the 2014 defense, the 6-foot-4, 251-pound Young’s exact role in this defense is not entirely known, although he figures to be the No. 3 defensive end, playing often in nickel situations and rotating with the rest of the line.

“I’m the type of guy, it doesn’t matter what scheme you put me in, I’m going to make the best of my opportunities,” he said. “Before I got to Detroit a couple years ago, I wasn’t used to getting off read and react so fast, but I was able to adapt and overcome and make a living for myself doing it. Same thing applies here. A new beginning, adapt and overcome, and the rest of it will take care of itself.”

Two common themes with Young: “adapt and overcome,” and something Bears fans will learn, his love of fishing.

“Whenever they put me in the game, [my role is] to make plays,” he said. “Make plays all through the year, go home, go fishing and then come on back and start all over again.”

Young said he already has discovered a nearby fishing spot.

“Had a chance to fish Lake Geneva,” he said with a big smile. “It was loaded.”

WORLD CUP

WORLD CUP: U.S.

Soccer tourney kicks off in Brazil

Beckerman, 32, gets his shot

The Associated Press SAO PAULO – “Tudo bem” – all good – as the Brazilians say.

Well, almost.

With a nationwide spasm of excitement, but also tear gas, the country that sees itself as the artful soul of football but is conflicted about spending billions of dollars on hosting its showcase tournament kicked off one of the most troubled World Cups Jennifer Lopez ever.

It roared to life Thursday with a 3-1 win for the home team in a stadium barely readied on time for the first of 64 matches in 12 cities.

The end of Brazil’s 64-year waitfortheWorldCuptoreturn to the country of Pele wasn’t all parties and samba. There were protests in five host cities and chants against President Dilma Rousseff. But it wasn’t close to the chaos that wracked last year’s tuneup tournament, the Confederations Cup, when hundreds of thousands poured into the streets.

After a funky opening ceremony featuring J-Lo in lowcut sparkling green and dancers dressed as trees, Brazil’s beloved national team, the star-studded Selecao, made an earnest if not brilliant start to the serious business of reconquering planet futebol.

Already the only nation with five world titles, a sixth victory in the July 13 final could assuage much – but not all – public anger about spending $11.5 billion on the tournament.

Brazil’s first opponent was a resilient but ultimately outclassed Croatian side. The Itaquerao Stadium, which suffered chronic delays and worker deaths in its construc-

tion, was a sea of buttercup yellow, the color of the national team. Brazilian fans expect this crop of stars to deliver not just victory but football as art, the “Jogo bonito” – the beautiful game – that was the hallmark of great Brazilian teams.

The inaugural game had everything aficionados love – passion, drama, spectacle, goals and a refereeing controversy that immediately set fingers wagging on Twitter, showing how players, officials and organizers must live under the microscope of unprecedented social media scrutiny.

Brazilian fans call themselves “torcidas” – derived from the Portuguese word “to twist” and evoking how football puts them through the wringer. Brazil made a nightmare start. Marcelo looked stunned, the crowd of 62,103 wailed and grown men watching in bars let out howls of despairing laughter when the Brazilian defender scored an own-goal that gave Croatia an unlikely 1-0 lead after only 11 minutes.

“I’m very emotional, happy, and happy that it’s over,” said spectator Ricieri Garbelini, visibly drained. “I was nervous for five minutes at the beginning, and at the end.”

The mood lifted when Neymar lived up to his hype and tied the score for Brazil in the 29th minute, unleashing an ear-splitting roar from the crowd and across the nation. In the rundown city of Indaiatuba, a two-hour drive from Sao Paulo, tattooed men in undershirts celebrated by pounding on restaurant tables. Fans watched the game wearing shirts bearing the name of the 22-year-old.

Even football-loving Pope Francis got a touch of World Cup fever. He sent a video message on Brazilian television before the match, saying the world’s most popular sport can promote peace and solidarity.

The Associated Press SAO PAULO – His shirt off post practice with multiple upper-body tattoos on display and dreadlocks as messy as ever, Kyle Beckerman signed autographs through a small space in the fence separating him from a swarm of fans.

For Beckerman, being in Brazil is what he planned all along. Ever since the days he began signing his autograph as an unofficial member of the national team about age 8.

Whether leaving a note to his parents letting them know he’d gone to a friend’s house and wouldn’t be home for dinner or was off to soccer prac-

tice, Beckerman always ended with his signature of Kyle Beckerman, followed by “USA No. 15.”

Now, at 32, Beckerman is living it for real.

“Yeah, it’s come full circle,” Beckerman said. “I didn’t know.

That’s what I wanted to happen, but you Kyle never know.”

Beckerman Beckerman knows this all will go by far too quickly, because as soon as the Americans are done playing in Brazil, he will be back to his job as captain of Major League Soccer’s Real Salt Lake.

San Antonio demoralize Heat in Miami

Midfield mate Brad Davis posted a photo on Twitter of him with Beckerman, who gave a thumbs-up as they departed for Brazil while carrying a guitar on his back.

The dreads go way back for Beckerman, whose curly hair easily would knot up if he neglected to comb it as a kid – forcing his mom to pull out the scissors. Once out of the house, he let it go for good.

Beckerman keeps things light with his music for the Americans.

“Of course, look at his hair, man, a bit of Bob Marley,” Davis said Wednesday. “He’s a bit of a free spirit.”

Although Beckerman didn’t play in the first of three send-

off matches, he came in for the second half against Turkey and moved into the starting lineup in a defensive role for the finale against Nigeria as coach Jurgen Klinsmann switched up his midfield.

“We’ve often talked about Kyle, and we keep talking about him because he’s a pure giver to that team. He’s one that covers other’s backs, and that’s literally what he’s doing,” Klinsmann said. “Chemistrywise, he’s an extremely important player to that group, because he has tremendous experience, he’s always hungry and you know that when he steps on the field, even if it’s a public training session, that he’s going to go 150 percent.”

P R I M E

• NBA FINALS Continued from page B1 The Spurs lost twice in Miami to end last year’s Finals, their only defeat in the championship round. They won their two games in South Florida this time by a combined 40 points.

If this was the last home game of the season in Miami, it looked and sounded nothing like the ones to end the past two years, which featured confetti falling and trophies raised.

This one had the unfamiliar sound of boos late in the first half and a chant of “Go Spurs Go!” with less than 3 minutes left from the San Antonio fans who remained long after many of Miami’s had bolted.

If the Heat force a Game 6, it would be Tuesday in Miami.

The Heat had followed their past 13 postseason losses with a victory, but at the end of a fourth straight season that went the distance, they might be out of gas.

Closer to God VBS sees some changes, but goal is the same

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com

W

hen Clover and Kole Norris came home singing a song they learned their first day

of vacation Bible school, Denise Norris knew her kids were getting closer to God. And that’s exactly why she decided to send Clover, 6, and Kole, 4, to the weeklong program filled with songs, games and crafts at St. Catherine of Genoa Catholic Church.

“I was excited to let them grow in their faith,” Denise Norris said. “I know it’s bringing them closer.”

Music has been a mainstay of vacation Bible school programs for decades, but that doesn’t mean kids are doing the same things as kids years ago.

Though some things stay the same, local vaca-

tion Bible schools have shifted some aspects of their weeklong programs to meet the goal of bringing kids closer to Jesus.

St. Catherine of Genoa Church’s program this summer follows the theme “Mary Brings Me Closer to Jesus,” which director of religious education and youth ministry Alaisa Emmens said is a little different than previous years.

“I’m trying to take it a little deeper,” Emmens said. “So they don’t just know Jesus as a person 2,000 years ago, but who he is living in their life right now.”

Things have changed at vacation Bible school in the past 10 years, Emmens said. For one, she tries to get more teens involved because they tend to form connections with the younger kids.

Haley Temes, 16, is one of about 20 teen volunteers at St. Catherine’s program. Her favorite part is watching the connections the children make with each other and with Jesus.

“I just love seeing the kids faces when they learn something new,” Temes said. “They’re definitely getting closer to Jesus. You can just tell.”

Clay Sanders, 9, said he most enjoys the musical parts of vacation Bible school, including teen volunteer Katie Sosnowksi’s guitar-playing skills.

Immanuel Lutheran Church in DeKalb is considering offering a middle school-specific program

for the first time this year, office manager Darlene Hillman said. The program will run the same time as the church’s “Wilderness Escape” program, July 28 to Aug. 1, but will have activities geared toward sixth- to eighth-grade students.

“We wanted to give them a deeper experience,” Hillman said.

The change also comes as the age demographics in the program shift. Hillman said because the church offers a preschool program, about 50 percent of the roughly 100 participants are age 6 or younger.

Vacation Bible school has shifted from puppets to video in the mind of Pastor Martin Metzger from the Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. John.

This year, St. John’s will offer “Gangway to Galilee,” a program that will start and end with a video everyday. Puppet shows used to fill the beginning and end slots, he said.

But that doesn’t mean Metzger’s first puppet, Demetrius the Donkey, is any less of a hit with the 120 kids who attend the week-long camp at the end of July. Metzger still gets requests to bring out Demetrius, who speaks in a high-pitched voice and “lives” in a little box shaped like a barn.

“He’s my sidekick in many ways,” Metzger said.

“He still connects with the kids. Sometimes the old still works.”

Action groups are forming at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Sycamore to address parishioners’ identified needs as recognized by a Strategy Planning Group in recent months. All parishioners were given the opportunity to voice their concerns and perceived needs. The action groups will now attempt to answer those needs. Interested parishioners should contact Sister Judy Herrmann to get involved and to get additional information or questions answered. She can be reached by calling the parish at 815-895-3275. Pictured is the Rev. Paul Lipinski addressing the Action Committee volunteers.

DeKalb’s the Rev. Young-Mee Park, left, a Methodist pastor, accepted the second annual Bishop’s Appeal award from Bishop Sally Dyck, right, at the United Methodist Church Northern Illinois Conference, on June 10. Dyck presented the traveling award to Park, UMC DeKalb district superintendent, at the NIC’s 175th annual conference at Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles June 8 to 10. Under Park’s leadership, Methodist DeKalb district churches raised $14,271 for a Imagine No Malaria drive to raise $1 million from northern Illinois Methodists. Methodists worldwide have a goal of $75 million by 2015 to fight malaria in Africa. A delegation of South Korean Methodists presented a $10,000 donation at the annual conference.

Genoa church plans VBS Faith United Methodist Church in Genoa will hold Vacation Bible School on Wednesday evenings this summer.

The program is for students in preschool through fifth grade. It will be held from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

Dates are June 18 and 25 and July 2, 9, 16 and 23.

The church is located at 355 S. Stott St. Call the church office at 815784-5143 to register.

Witnesses’ convention to highlight family values

Immanuel Lutheran sets Wilderness Escape VBS Registration is open for Vacation Bible School at Immanuel Lutheran Church, 511 Russell Road, DeKalb.

Wilderness Escape will be held from 9 a.m. to noon July 28 through Aug. 1 at Immanuel.

The program is open to children ages 3 to 13.

The church is considering having a middle school camp for youth entering sixth grade through eighth grade. This would run the same dates as VBS, but would be an entirely different program geared specifically to older youth. Those who have a child in that age group, should register them as soon as possible for planning purposes.

Immanuel wishes to make this ministry available to all children therefore there will be no registration fee. Donations will be accepted to help defray the cost of programming. The estimated cost per child is $6 per day or $30 per week. Checks can be made out to Immanuel Lutheran Church.

Kelly led hundreds in a demonstration to shed light on gender inequality in the religion – defying church orders to stay off Temple Square – the founder of a prominent Mormon women’s group is facing excommunication.

Kelly said she was shocked, dismayed and devastated to receive a letter Sunday from the bishop of her congregation in Virginia informing her that a disciplinary hearing had been set for June 22 to discuss the possibility of her ouster. The leader of Ordain Women is accused of apostasy, defined as repeated and public advocacy of positions that oppose church teachings.

John P. Dehlin, the creator of a website that provides a forum for church members questioning their faith, is facing the same fate. He received his letter from a local church leader in Logan, Utah, on Monday, giving him until June 18 to resign from the faith or face an excommunication hearing. The letter says church leaders are deeply concerned about Dehlin’s recent comments about no longer believing fundamental teachings of the faith.

Beginning today, Jehovah’s Witnesses will highlight a connection between family values and the teachings of Jesus Christ during a three-day convention at the Northern Illinois University Convocation Center. The convention is titled “Keep Seeking First God’s Kingdom!”

The Witnesses are extending an open invitation to all to attend lively discussions of Jesus’ words: “Keep on, then, seeking first the Kingdom.” The program will examine how those words of Jesus can be of special interest to families.

‘If you go this far, you are risking your membership,’” Shipps said.

Church officials said in a statement Wednesday that there is room for questions and sincere conversations about the faith, but that some members’ actions “contradict church doctrine and lead others astray.”

In certain cases, local leaders step in to clarify false teachings and ensure other members aren’t misled, the church’s statement said. Disciplinary hearings only come after members are counseled and encouraged to change behavior.

“Some members in effect choose to take themselves out of the church by actively teaching and publicly attempting to change doctrine to comply with their personal beliefs,” the statement reads.

“This saddens leaders and fellow members.”

The cases against the two lifelong members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints mark the most high-profile examples of excommunication proceedings since 1993, said Armand Mauss, a retired professor of sociology and religious studies at Washington State University. That year, the church disciplined six Mormon writers who questioned church doctrine, ousting five and kicking out a sixth only temporarily.

Church leaders seem to be drawing a line between private or informal expressions of discontent with church teachings and public protests aimed at pressuring the church, Mauss said.

“The LDS Church is not a democratic institution, and has never claimed to be,” Mauss said in an email, “So such actions are interpreted by church leaders as attempts to displace or undermine their legitimate authority over church policies and teachings.”

Singling out two critics of church policy who have made themselves very visible seems like “boundary maintenance” by the church, said Jan Shipps, a retired religion professor from Indiana who is a non-Mormon expert on the church.

Dad is eager to do right by baby daughter Dear Abby: I’m a married father with a son 19 months old, and a baby girl on the way. While I couldn’t be more excited about my daughter’s impending arrival, I’m unsure about whether there is a right time to stop doing things like changing a diaper or seeing my daughter unclothed because she’s a girl and I’m not.

I come from a conservative family, but because this is a new experience for me, I’m not sure how to go about it. I know this dynamic changes when these roles are occupied by a mother and her son, and that a little boy is probably older by the time the transi-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips tion occurs. I don’t want to end up in a position where my wife or daughter regrets my involvement in some aspects of my daughter’s life.

Any thoughts? – Expectant Dad in New York Dear Expectant Dad: Fathers have become far more involved in child-rearing in recent years than they were in generations past, and it’s a wonderful thing. You should not be worried that changing your daughter’s diapers or

giving her a bath will scar her emotionally. In fact, the opposite is true. Discuss this with your wife and your daughter’s pediatrician, and I’m sure they will allay your fears.

As to when you should stop seeing your daughter unclothed, you have years before that may become necessary. As she becomes aware of her changing body, she will probably let you know, or her mother will. This is a cultural thing. Some families practice a naturist lifestyle without anyone being “damaged” by it.

Dear Abby: I have been working as a desk clerk at a motel in Montana for several

years. With travel season here, I was hoping you could help your readers who find themselves on the road to avoid sleepless nights and headaches.

Several times a year many of the accommodations on the interstate can be fully booked due to weather or local events, and travelers are sometimes forced to drive several hundred miles to find a room for the night.

You can help your readers by reminding them that they should start checking on motel occupancy early in the day, or even the day before, if they know where they would like to stop for the night. That way, situations like this can

be avoided, and they will have a more enjoyable and relaxing trip. – On The Road Again Dear On The Road: Thank you for the suggestion. Many of my readers take road trips during the summer months, and I hope they’ll remember your letter before they start the ignition and head for the highways.

Lifestyle changes and peripheral artery disease Dear Dr. K: I have PAD. It sounds like coronary artery disease of the legs. Is the treatment similar too?

Dear Reader: You’re right: It’s the same disease – atherosclerosis – in different arteries. In atherosclerosis, cholesterol-filled growths, called plaques, grow inside the artery. They block the flow of blood through blood vessels. In coronary artery disease (CAD), atherosclerosis blocks blood flow to the heart. In peripheral artery disease (PAD), plaque builds up in the arteries of the legs and feet, restricting blood flow to those areas. (I’ve put an illustration showing normal and restricted blood flow in the legs on my website.)

I spoke to my colleague Dr. Marc Bonaca, a cardiol-

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff ogist at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital. He cautioned that in addition to narrowing blood vessels, atherosclerosis increases the risk of blood clots.

For example, a blood clot or a piece of a cholesterol-filled plaque can split off from an artery (such as the body’s largest artery, the aorta). Then it travels in the bloodstream to an artery in the leg. If it gets wedged into a part of the leg artery that is narrowed by atherosclerosis, suddenly the blood supply to the leg can stop.

That’s a medical emergen-

cy. A blood clot that lodges in the leg can kill off tissue and possibly require amputation.

What’s more, narrowed leg arteries are often a sign of atherosclerosis throughout the body. That means you are at increased risk of heart attack or stroke.

Treatment starts with lifestyle changes: • Adopt a heart-healthy diet.

• Quit smoking.

• Take medicines to control high blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes.

You should also exercise regularly. Movement improves circulation in the legs. The more you exercise your legs, the greater the blood supply they need. That gradually causes your leg arteries to widen and provide

more blood to the legs. As your increased blood supply develops, the same exercise that may have caused leg pain in the past often no longer does. Regular exercise is key to easing symptoms and regaining mobility.

Before you start any exercise program, check with your doctor. The proper program for you requires knowledge of how severe the atherosclerosis is in your legs. A program that works for many people is to start with a half-hour walk several times a week. Over time, you should be able to walk farther and longer without discomfort.

Your doctor may prescribe new anti-platelet medications, which can help prevent blood clots in the legs.

But sometimes severely narrowed arteries cause extreme pain or threaten the health of your leg or foot. In this case, you may need an angioplasty and stent placement procedure to restore blood flow. The procedure is similar to that done in CAD patients. The doctor will thread a catheter through a blood vessel and into the blocked leg artery. He or she will briefly inflate a small balloon to open the narrowed artery, leaving behind a wire mesh stent to keep the artery open.

I honestly believed that each guy really liked me and that having sex was a way of showing true affection. How wrong I was!

8CROSSWORD

If he errs, take advantage Jef Mallett, the “Frazz” cartoonist, said, “Writing well means never having to say, ‘I guess you had to be there.’”

When the defenders play perfectly, declarer is sometimes unable to make his contract. On other deals, though, a defender will fail to find the killing play. Then declarer needs to take full benefit.

In this deal, West cashes three club tricks against four hearts. He then shifts to a diamond. How should South continue?

A four-heart opening bid usually indicates an eightcard suit. However, South decided to tell a small white lie because he was nonvulnerable and the opponents were vulnerable. West wondered if his side could do well, but he had too few points to act at the four-level. North and East had easy passes.

When West had to guess which suit to lead at trick four, he decided that South would be more likely to preempt when very short in the other major. Hence his diamond lead. (As you can see, a spade switch would have been lethal.)

Now let’s look at South’s predicament. He needs to take three pointed-suit tricks to go with his seven trump winners. Should he finesse in spades or in diamonds?

Either is a pure guess. But he can slightly improve his chances. He should win with dummy’s diamond ace, ruff a diamond in his hand, cash the heart ace, play a heart to dummy’s nine and ruff another diamond.

Here, the king comes tumbling down. So South can draw trumps and claim. But if the diamond king does not appear, declarer can run his trumps, planning to fall back on the spade finesse.
