DeKALB – Caroline Petersen hasn’t seen any signs the job market is improving in DeKalb County even as the area’s metro unemployment rate returns to pre-recession levels. Petersen, a 57-year-old DeKalb resident, said she has been applying for jobs daily since being laid off from School Tool Box in Sycamore last September. She’s exhausted her unemployment benefits and sought help from nearly every social service organization and government agency she can find. But with little savings, she doesn’t know how she’ll pay next month’s rent. “I’ve always worked,” Petersen said Thursday. “I didn’t think I would be off work this long. I’ve never been off work this long. It’s a different economy now.” While DeKalb County’s unemployment rate continues to fall, job hunters such as Petersen say they don’t see rosier employment prospects ahead. The county’s unemployment rate fell to 4.7 percent in May, down from 6.2 percent in May 2014, according to preliminary figures the Illinois Department of Employment Security released Thursday. In the city of DeKalb, the jobless rate stood at 5 percent last month, compared with 6.6 percent in May 2014. The unemployment rate identifies people who are out of work and seeking employment. A person who exhausts or is ineligible for benefits still will be reflected in the unemployment figures, according to a news release from the state. The numbers mean little to Petersen. She said has applied for jobs in Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri and Texas. Despite callbacks and job interviews, she has been unable to find employment. “It’s very frustrating and worrisome,” she said. “There’s so many people looking for the same jobs.”

Officials urge residents to leave fireworks to professionals By ADAM POULISSE apoulisse@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The “oohs” and “aahs” that fireworks usually produce can also result in serious burns and property damage. That’s why the consensus is clear among local firefighters: “Leave it to the professionals.” Besides, most fireworks are illegal in Illinois. “We want you to go and [see] a bigger, better fireworks show put on by the municipalities,” said Jim Ward, fire prevention coordinator for Sycamore Fire Department. “Those are professionals who are trained to set up the large fireworks display.” Three Fourth of July celebrations are scheduled in DeKalb County next weekend, in Shabbona, Kirkland and DeKalb. “Those guys stand back from the fireworks,” Ward said. “They’re set up in more safe areas like a big park around a residential neighborhood.

LOCAL FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATIONS •Kirkland Lions Club: July 2 to 4 at 290 South St., Kirkland •Fireworks at the Speedway: July 4 at 50W086 Route 64, Maple Park •DeKalb’s Fourth of July celebration: July 4 at Hopkins Park, 1403 Sycamore Road •Sandwich Freedom Days: July 4 to 5 at 1401 Suydam Road •Independence Day in Shabbona: July 4 to 5 at Route 30 and Shabbona Road Those guys are trained at a much higher level and know more than [the] public.” According to the Illinois Fire Safety Alliance, 11,400 fireworks-related injuries were treated in emergency departments across America in 2013, an increase from 2012.

Supreme Court upholds nationwide health care law subsidies By MARK SHERMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the nationwide tax subsidies under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, in a ruling that preserves health insurance for millions of Americans. The justices said in a 6-3 ruling that the subsidies that 8.7 million people currently receive to make insurance

affordable do not depend on where they live, under the 2010 health care law. The outcome is the second major victory for Obama in politically charged Supreme Court tests of his most significant domestic achievement. It came the same day the court gave the administration an unexpected victory by preserving a key tool the administration uses to fight housing bias. Chief Justice John Roberts again voted with his liberal

colleagues in support of the law. Roberts also was the key vote to uphold the law in 2012. Justice Anthony Kennedy, a dissenter in 2012, was part of the majority on Thursday. “Congress passed the Affordable Care Act to improve health insurance markets, not to destroy them,” Roberts wrote in the majority opinion. In a dissent he summarized from the bench, Justice Antonin Scalia said, “We should start calling this law SCOTUS-

care.” Using the acronym for the Supreme Court, Scalia said his colleagues have twice stepped in to save the law from what Scalia considered worthy challenges. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas joined the dissent, as they did in 2012. Nationally, 10.2 million people have signed up for health insurance under the Obama health overhaul. That includes the 8.7 million people who are receiving an average subsidy

of $272 a month to help pay their insurance premiums. Of those receiving subsidies, 6.4 million people were at risk of losing that aid because they live in states that did not set up their own health insurance exchanges. The challenge devised by die-hard opponents of the law, often derided by critics as “Obamacare,” relied on four words – established by the state – in the more than 900page law.

The law’s opponents argued that the vast majority of people who now get help paying for their insurance premiums are ineligible for their federal tax credits.

A campuswide kick in the butt A big shoe is dropping next week at Northern Illinois University, and I’m not talking about how much the state will chop from NIU’s annual budget allocation. Starting Wednesday, all Illinois public colleges and universities will become smokefree by state law. That law is the Smoke-Free Campus Act, which former Gov. Pat Quinn signed into law in 2014. For nonsmokers like me, the new law is a breath of fresh air, and there is data to suggest that such laws really work. And they need to work: Despite the downward trend of smoking in America, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that in 2013, nearly 19 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds smoke. Also, a study of two Indiana universities concluded in 2009 is cause for optimism. Two schools – Purdue University and Indiana University in Bloomington – were compared because of institutional similarities and because one school (Indiana) had a smokefree policy, while the other (Purdue) did not. Key findings: The percentage of students smoking

too thin to create and sustain a campuswide tobacco-free environment. Students who smoke, by and large, simply won’t be significantly deterred by a law. College represents the biggest opportunity in life to challenge authority. It’s not just mindset. It’s easy to understand why smoking isn’t allowed in restaurants. A restaurant is a closed-in space. But many college campuses are so open and airy that smoking outdoors while walking treelined paths to a building a half-mile away doesn’t seem like smoking is breaking a rule. For generations, smokers have been told by nonsmokers to go outside. Well, they’re outside.

TODAY’S TALKER

Fewer Happy Meal orders opting for soda By CANDICE CHOI The Associated Press NEW YORK – McDonald’s says fewer people are picking soda for Happy Meals after it stopped listing the drinks as an option on its menu boards. The world’s biggest hamburger chain said Thursday 48 percent of Happy Meals orders chose soda as a beverage in the U.S. after it was scrubbed from menus and marketing materials between July of last year and May. That’s down from 56 percent in the year-ago period. “I would expect that this would continue to go down,” said Julia Braun, director of nutrition at McDonald’s. The results were noted in a report commissioned by McDonald’s Corp. to track its progress on a pledge made in late 2013 with the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, which was founded by the Clinton Foundation and the American Heart Association.

This photo shows a Happy Meal with french fries and a drink in 2012 at a McDonald’s in Springfield. McDonald’s said Thursday fewer people are picking soda for Happy Meals after it stopped listing the drinks as an option on its menu boards. The pledge is part of a push by McDonald’s to quiet critics who say it serves junk food and peddles unhealthy choices to children. Shaking

that reputation is particularly important for McDonald’s, whose courtship of parents and children over the decades helped make it an industry

leader. Burger King and Wendy’s also have said they would stop featuring sodas as an option for kids’ meals on menu boards after advocacy groups called for the change. Representatives for both chains declined to provide details on how the moves have changed soda sales. Margo Wootan, director of nutrition policy at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, said the decline in sodas for Happy Meals showed promise. “It takes more than one year to undo decades of bad marketing,” she said. McDonald’s did not provide historical data on the share of Happy Meals orders that included soda in past years, which might indicate the popularity of the drink had been fading on its own. But prior to the change, it said the percentage of Happy Meals with soda had been holding steady for at least 18 months.

Inmates file suit against Illinois Department of Corrections kept in isolation in “tiny, filthy, cold and barren cages” for 23 hours or more, with some inmates being placed in solitary confinement for infractions as minor as rolling their eyes at a guard or using abusive language, the lawsuit claims. An estimated 85 percent of Illinois inmates sent to segregation during a recent oneyear period had incurred minor infractions, according to a report released last month by the Vera Institute of Justice, a national policy nonprofit that

works on criminal justice issues. About 2,500 inmates were being held in solitary confinement in Illinois prisons as of mid-2013, the lawsuit states. Of those inmates, 680 of them were being held there for more than a year, it says. Research has shown that those who go through extended periods of solitary confinement can suffer psychological and emotional harm, according to the lawsuit. The suit has been filed be-

cause the state’s use of solitary confinement would qualify as torture under United Nations standards, said Allan Mills, executive director of Chicago’s Uptown People’s Law Center. “Fifteen days or more is considered to be torture, if you’re kept in isolation that long,” Mills said. “Illinois does not keep people in segregation for 15 days, it doesn’t even keep them for 15 months. Often, we will see people who have been in segregation for 15 years in Illinois.”

D-428 set to hire new Forum addresses medical marijuana principal at Brooks

“It is overly burdensome to the patients,” he said. “I think a lot of the problems and restrictions were put in place as part of the political process.” Carole Minor of DeKalb attended because she said she has a friend with lung and brain cancer, and was curious what the benefits of medical marijuana would be for her friend who is undergoing chemotherapy. She also was curious for herself because she has osteoarthritis. She said the possible medical marijuana dispensary in Sycamore would be a good thing. “If I needed it, it would be convenient,” she said. Maryann Loncar, president of Mother Earth Holistic Health in Plainfield, has been an advocate for medical marijuana in the state and attended Thursday’s discussion. She said “education” is a big part of medical marijuana. “We find there’s a lot of older patients in their 60s, 70s and 80s that were part of that generation that don’t understand what the big [deal] is about it,” Loncar said. The event concluded with a question-and-answer session.

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN bkeeperman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Brooke Condon is poised to become the new principal at DeKalb’s Brooks Elementary next school year, provided the school board approves her hire on Wednesday. The DeKalb School District 428 Board will vote at a special board meeting to hire Condon, who has been with the district since 2005. She took Brooke over Brooks as Condon interim principal in May after former principal Shahran Spears was put on administrative leave. Superintendent Doug Moeller said Condon in her brief tenure had been successful in the role and was popular with faculty and staff alike. “People have called and raved about what a great job she’s doing,” Moeller said. “She obviously walked into a difficult situation, but she has a phenomenal personality and

is a very grounded, real person.” Condon has taken on a variety of different roles over the past 10 years in the district. She began as a special education teacher at Clinton Rosette Middle School and worked her way up to her position as assistant principal at the school. She said she was looking forward to the new, permanent role at Brooks Elementary. “I’m a little sad to leave Clinton Rosette. The staff there is really amazing,” she said. “But I am ready for the challenge of stepping into something new.” The position at Brooks became open June 15, when the DeKalb school board fired Spears after a marathon closed-door meeting. The most cited reason for Spears’ dismissal was her using school funds to give prayer books to teachers during teacher appreciation week. Condon said she knew she was walking into a challenging circumstance but was ready. “There is a lot of opportunity for healing that needs to take place there,” she said, “and within the community.”

DeKALB – Jessica Woollcombe said when she’s smoked marijuana in the past, she’s been able to walk and not rely on the crutches or wheelchair that multiple sclerosis confined her to. “Nothing below my waist does anything,” Woollcombe said. “In the past, I would smoke a little bit, and I could walk. It’s that drastic of a difference to me.” Woollcombe, who lives in DeKalb, attended a forum Thursday night hosted at WNIJ titled “Context: Medical Marijuana and Illinois,” which brought panelists from across the state to DeKalb to answer questions or clear up confusion about Illinois’ medical marijuana pilot program. “It’s really hard to find the information online, because most of what you find is press releases or advertisements that help you get in touch with dispensaries or want to sell you bongs,” Woollcombe said. “It’s hard to find solid information.” The panel consisted of John and Christina Leja of PharmaCann LLC; Dan Linn, executive director of the Illinois Chapter

I think [state officials have] done the right [thing] in ensuring the

program is successful in [the] long term.” The state has approved 2,500 medical marijuana patients. “Months ago, we were seeing patients who were applying taking up to two months to receive the card,” Christina Leja said. “Now, we’re seeing them get cards in two weeks.” Linn said Illinois has one of the “most restrictive” medical marijuana pilot programs of all the states.

DeKalb’s Glidden Homestead to mark Clare man dies after morning crash arrival of the railroad at Sunday event By KATIE SMITH

ksmith@shawmedia.com

By DAILY CHRONICLE news@daily-chronicle.com DeKALB – The Glidden Homestead and Historical Center, 921 W. Lincoln Highway, DeKalb, will mark the arrival of the railroad in DeKalb with a commemorative event starting at 10 a.m. Sunday.

hosted by Sarah Glidden DeMink, a Glidden descendent and homestead board member. The homestead will serve biscuits and homemade jam from Peg’s Picks. The event is free with the price of admission. A program starting at noon will teach guests about the 1853 event. Barb wire inventor Joseph Glidden had granted right of way through

his property because he was certain the railway would be a boon to DeKalb. To celebrate the occasion of the new railroad, the Glidden family hosted a breakfast for the crew and guests, according to a news release from the homestead.

CLARE – A Clare man died Thursday morning after he was involved in a car crash on Route 64 near his home, police said. Donald E. Weaver, 67, of the 2600 block of Schafer Road, Clare, was driving a 2003 Buick Park Avenue south on Schafer Road at Route 64 at 6:39 a.m. As he traveled across Route 64 on

Schafer, his car was hit by a 2002 Dodge Dakota pickup that was eastbound on Route 64, according to a news release from the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office. The driver of the pickup, Ashley A. Martinez, 21, of the 900 block of North 8th Street in Rochelle, and Weaver were both taken to Kishwaukee Hospital in DeKalb by Malta firefighters. Weaver was later flown to Rockford by an OSF Life Flight helicopter, accord-

ing to the news release. Weaver died at the hospital at 10:32 a.m., DeKalb County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Gary Dumdie said. Martinez did not have a stop sign and had the right of way, Dumdie said. She was cited for driving with a suspended license, police said. Weaver was not wearing a seat belt, according to the news release. The crash remains under investigation.

DAILY CHRONICLE SYCAMORE – A Genoa man faces domestic battery charges after an incident where police say he hit his son-in-law in the neck with a hammer Wednesday, police said. Police were called to Terry M. Swenhaugen’s home in the 300 block of Genoa Street, where their investigation de- Terry M. termined Swen- Swenhaugen haugen, 52, hit his son in-law-with a hammer. When Swenhaugen tried to hit the man a second time, the two began fighting, court re-

cords show. If convicted of domestic battery, Swenhaugen could be sentenced to less than a year in jail. It is not clear what Swenhaugen and the victim were arguing about before police arrived, Genoa Police Chief Robert Smith said. Both Swenhaugen and the victim sustained minor injuries including bumps and scratches, but neither was taken to the hospital, Smith said. Swenhaugen remained at the DeKalb County Jail on Thursday afternoon. His bond was set at $3,000, and he must post $300 bail to be released. Swenhaugen’s next court date is set for Friday.

DeKALB – District 3 Republican Riley Oncken has announced his resignation effective July 2, the day after a special DeKalb County Board meeting. He is the second member to resign in the past week, following District 4 Democrat Joseph Bassett. “This season of life has become increasingly busy with the needs of my family and my growing business, and I am finding that I am not able to dedicate the time and energy necessary to effectively and diligently serve my constituents in the position in

JAMES E. WILLSON

Born: Jan. 2, 1964; in Chicago, IL Died: June 23, 2015; in Kingston, IL James E. Willson, age 51, of Kingston, passed away on June 23, 2015. He was born on Jan. 2, 1964 in Chicago, the son of Fred and Aline Willson. James was a Veteran, and served in the U.S. Army for 4 years, stationed in Germany and France, and was an MP, which led him to become an Elgin Police officer for the last 28 years. Survivors include his wife, Alice (Kleppetch), whom he married on May 14, 1988; two sons, Austin and Connor Willson; three brothers, Michael, John and Mark Willson; two sisters, Mary (Jack) McCarthy and Patricia Harris; along with many nieces, nephews and family. He was preceded in death by his parents. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, June 27, 2015, at 6:00 p.m., at the Wait Ross Allanson Funeral & Cremation Chapel, 51 Center St., Elgin IL 60120.

said County Board Chairman Mark Pietrowski Jr., a Democrat. “It’s been nice getting to know him a little better.” Both recently vacated seats probably will not be filled until August, Pietrowski said. “It just gives both the Democrat and Republican parties an opportunity to [recommend] a highly qualified, responsible individual for the board,” Pietrowski said. “In Mr. Oncken’s case ... I imagine he’ll still be involved in some way in helping the board any way he can.” Oncken’s resignation will take effect after the special meeting Wednesday, when the board will vote to rezone Fairdale after it was mostly

leveled in the April 9 tornado. “When I look back on the work which the board has done to keep DeKalb County a wonderful place to live and work, I am proud of what we have done,” Oncken said. “I will remember my service on the board fondly and anticipate returning to public service in one form or another in the future.” Oncken served on the County Board from 2008 to 2012 and was reappointed in 2013 to Ken Andersen’s vacated seat in District 3 after losing a 2012 re-election bid. Oncken retained his seat in a race against Democratic political newcomer Joshua Orr in the November 2014 election.

which they have entrusted me,” Oncken said in a letter of resignation dated Wednesday. “Rather than give the job anything less than 100 percent, I feel it more prudent to turn over my seat to someone who can serve my constituents as they deserve.” It is now up Riley Oncken to the DeKalb County Republicans to recommend a replacement for Oncken, an attorney with an office on North Maple Street in Sycamore. “It’s a little bit unique with Riley because him and I are from the same district,”

ksmith@shawmedia.com SANDWICH – The Sandwich Early Day Engine Club will dust off traditional farming equipment and techniques and celebrate them at its annual show Saturday and Sunday at the Sandwich Fairgrounds. The show highlights oldstyle gas engines, collectible farm-brand toys and antique tractors, said Nancy Quantock, the Early Day Engine Club’s president. The weekend-long event still has room for arts and crafts and food vendors, as well

as flea markets, antique trucks and tractors, gas engines and machinery, Quantock said. “We like to teach kids if they’re interested, or anybody else, what grandma and grandpa had to endure in the old days,” Quantock said. Saturday’s events will feature an auction at 9 a.m. and a

tractor parade at noon. “It’s a really good venue to drive these old tractors,” she said. Sunday will include a 25mile tractor ride at 8:15 a.m., with a registration fee of $15 for anyone who would like to enter their equipment. The entry fee is a $5 donation for adults. Children younger than age 13 may enter for free. This year’s show will recognize the Ford and Independent Harvester as its featured gas engine and tractor, according to a news release. In addition to farm equip-

ment, Quantock has reserved arts and craft vendors who will sell handmade items including crocheted and sewn accessories, purses, do-rags and clothing for decorative lawn geese, according to the news release. The Sandwich Early Day Engine Club is an a nonprofit organization comprised of about 160 members dedicated to the preservation of outdated farming techniques, Quantock said. “Some people don’t realize the generational change,” she said. “There’s such a gigantic change in the equipment now that we can use.”

Gov. Rauner vetoes budget; some services could stop By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – State money for services from child care to road construction could stop in Illinois starting next week after Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner vetoed most of the Democratic Legislature’s budget plan, a move that follows weeks of vitriolic exchanges in a state new to divided government. A day after signing into law public-school funding for the fiscal year beginning July 1, the new GOP governor on Thursday nixed the

rest of the plan, which Democrats acknowledge is short on revenue by as much as $4 billion. He continued criticizing Democrats who he says indiscriminately spend taxpayer money and then play games to cover shortfalls. “For too long, the state Gov. Bruce of Illinois has Rauner made spending promises that exceed available revenues, relied on accounting gimmicks to make budgets appear bal-

anced, used borrowing and cost deferral strategies to push costs into the future, and delayed payments to vendors,” Rauner said in his veto message. Paychecks to state employees will go out for the first half of July, but “there are many programs, grant programs, for which contracts cannot be in place until we know we have money to spend,” said the No. 2 House Democrat, Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie of Chicago. Medicaid payments for doctors serving low-income patients would stop, along with pay-

ments for vendors who provide day care so parents can work, contractors who operate homeless shelters and those helping the disabled or victims of child abuse. Currie had hoped the governor’s signature on school funding signaled he would approve other parts of the plan to keep government functioning while continuing to wrangle over his priorities, rather than reject it outright. “Debate, discussion, that’s all very healthy, but to start from scratch is not a great idea as we approach July 1,” Currie said.

Hundreds attend funeral for shooting victims The Associated Press NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. – A choir and band launched into one of Ethel Lance’s favorite gospel tunes and roused hundreds of mourners from their seats Thursday in a crescendo of music at the first funeral for victims of the massacre at a historic black church. People stood to clap, nod and sway – some closing their eyes under the exertion of the cathartic singing. Ushers walked through the aisles with boxes of tissues for people to dab their tears as an organ, drums and bass guitar played along. The service was fitting for the 70-year-old Charleston

Supreme Court upholds key tool for fighting housing bias By SAM HANANEL The Associated Press WASHINGTON – A sharply divided Supreme Court on Thursday preserved a key tool used for more than four decades to fight housing discrimination, handing a surprising victory to the Obama administration and civil rights activists. The justices ruled 5-4 that federal housing law allows people to challenge lending rules, zoning laws and other housing practices that have a harmful impact on minority groups, even if there is no proof that companies or government agencies intended to discriminate.

Justice Anthony Kennedy, in a rare vote on the side of civil rights groups on matters of race, joined the court’s four liberal members in upholding the use of so-called “disparate impact” cases. The ruling is a victory for housing advocates who argued that the 1968 Fair Housing Act allows challenges to race-neutral policies that have negative effects on minorities. The Justice Department has used disparate impact lawsuits to win more than $500 million in legal settlements from companies accused of bias against black and Hispanic customers. It was a defeat for banks, insurance companies and other business groups that claimed

such lawsuits – often based on statistics – are not explicitly allowed under the landmark housing law that sought to eliminate segregation that has long existed in residential housing. “The court acknowledges the Fair Housing Act’s continuing role in moving the nation toward a more integrated society,” Kennedy said. The White House issued a statement saying the decision “reflects the reality that discrimination often operates not just out in the open, but in more hidden forms.” And Attorney General Loretta Lynch said the Justice Department would continue to vigorously enforce the Fair Housing Act

“with every tool at its disposal - including challenges based on unfair and unacceptable discriminatory effects.” In upholding the tactic, the high court preserved a legal strategy that has been used for more than 40 years to attack discrimination in zoning laws, occupancy rules, mortgage lending practices and insurance underwriting. Every federal appeals court to consider it has upheld the practice, though the Supreme Court had never previously ruled. Civil rights groups and the Obama administration had tried for years to keep the issue out of the Supreme Court, fearing that conservatives wanted to end the strategy.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA – A huge forest fire that has been burning through rugged terrain in the San Bernardino Mountains for more than a week forced evacuations as it stretched northeast into the desert.

under the county ordinance or state law.” The Consumer Product Safety Commission has several recommendations for fireworks use, including keeping them out of children’s hands, always having adult supervision, never trying to re-light or pick up fireworks that haven’t fully ignited and keep-

ing a bucket of water or hose nearby. “The best way to protect your family and your home is to attend public firework displays and leave it to the professionals who have safeguards,” DeKalb Deputy Fire Chief Greg Hoyle said. Sycamore Fire Chief Pete Polarek said he discourages

even the use of sparklers. “Many times they are put into the hands of children and can omit temperatures up to 1,300 degrees,” Polarek said. “If not properly handled, you have a high risk of burns or other injuries.” Scott said police do get some fireworks-related calls every year.

Hoyle said, from the fire department’s side, the number of responses to accidents related to fireworks on Independence Day is relatively low. “When we do respond to to incidents related to fireworks,” Hoyle said, “... they are very traumatic and there can be very serious injuries.”

State still not doing enough for schools

Gov. Jindal’s fateful choice in politics By JENNIFER RUBIN The Washington Post Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, barely registering in the polls, announced his presidential run on Wednesday. The once wonky conservative is now clinging to the Duck Dynasty star Willie Robertson in hopes of convincing the rightwing base he is one of them. It seems there is not a far-right position or slogan he does not embrace. How times change. The Washington Post reports: “Just eight years ago, Jindal’s future looked far brighter than it does now. “The former Rhodes Scholar and McKinsey consultant was elected governor at age 36, the first Indian-American ever to govern a state. ‘The question is not whether he’ll be president,’ Republican strategist Steve Schmidt said in 2008, ‘but when he’ll be president.’ “Jindal seemed to offer a new vision of what a Republican could be: an Ivy League-educated son of immigrants, who had a relentless focus on making

government run faster, smarter and cleaner. “... But, as Jindal pondered higher office, he seemed to fall into a strange and vicious negative-feedback loop.” Like Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, Jindal felt the pull of the far right and became determined not to be passed by any more conservative contender. The problems for Jindal now are two-fold. First, his state has budget issues – he slashed taxes and now has a severe revenue shortfall – and his own popularity is in the low 30s. Second, by going far-right all he did was enter a crowded field of equally right-wing promoters. He thereby lost whatever advantages he would have had running as a conservative, reforming governor. He’s going to have to share the part of the base that thrills to extreme anti-gay marriage rhetoric, wallows in anti-Washington invective and falls prey to anti-immigration reform hysteria with a long list of contenders including Cruz, Ben Carson, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Donald

Trump and Rick Santorum. Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry – a friend of Jindal, who endorsed Perry in 2012 – seems to have figured out that one can be a conservative governor, but also reasonable and appealing to a wider audience. (Then again Perry has his remarkable record in Texas, while Jindal is floundering back home.) The one candidate watching with delight as Trump, Jindal, Cruz, Carson, Huckabee and Santorum scrounge for votes is Jeb Bush. Each new entry grabs at least temporarily some support from the previous entrants and from Walker and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. It’s Bush’s ideal scenario – he claims the centrists and everyone else scrambles for the fringe. More mainstream candidates like Walker and Rubio have to fight for oxygen while rivals like Kasich or New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (in 11th place in the last Fox News national poll) may not get into the top 10 for the first debate in August. It is not Bush, but Walker and Rubio who would love to get Trump,

Jindal, Cruz, et. al, out of the race so they can consolidate support. The lesson here for the candidates trying to keep pace with Bush (i.e., Rubio and Walker) is to stay out of the scrum of candidates in single digits. Instead they need to compete as not-Bush alternatives with an eye to the wider GOP primary electorate. If they try endearing themselves to the same audience Jindal and Trump seek on issues like gay marriage, the Confederate flag, trade, tax policy or other issues they will find themselves dragged down into the “also running” category. If they are constantly looking over their shoulder, afraid to dismay talk radio hosts, they will take themselves out of contention as consensus candidates. Unfortunately for Jindal, he already made that choice and as a result is unlikely to do well.

What if he hadn’t been holding that Confederate flag? On the evening of June 17, nine black Americans were killed in their Charleston, South Carolina, church by a white supremacist -- but only after he’d spent an hour with them praying and studying the Bible. Three days after the slaying of these nine innocent black Americans, a number of photos of the 21-year-old who confessed to the shootings were discovered on a white supremacist website and immediately went viral. The one photo you most likely have seen shows him seated in a lawn chair. He is dressed in a striped shirt and denim shorts, his pale, scrawny legs spread wide to show off the gun he’s dangling in front of his crotch. His left hand holds the Confederate flag. If you didn’t know he’s been charged for the murder of nine innocent black Americans, you’d think he wore the face of the classic pretender -- the guy who thinks he looks mean while everyone around him knows he just looks ridiculous. That’s one of the many horrifying details of this hate-fueled massacre. He looked too foolish to be dangerous. Five days after the killing of nine innocent black Americans -- five years into her tenure -- South Carolina’s Republican Gov. Nikki Haley held a news conference and, surrounded by fellow elected officials, called for the Confederate flag to be removed from the state Capitol grounds. That same day, Wal-Mart announced it would no longer sell products with the Confederate flag. Six days after the killing of nine innocent black Americans, Sears, eBay and Amazon. com also announced they would no longer sell products with the Confederate flag. This news surprised a lot of people who had no idea those companies had been peddling the Confederate flag all along. Shortly after Amazon’s announcement, I signed in to my Amazon Prime account and found page after page of Confederate gear

VIEWS Connie Schultz for sale. So many things emblazoned with the Confederate flag, from saddle spurs to jackknives and, in one unfortunate moment of seeing something I wish I could un-see, a pair of men’s bikini briefs. Seven days after the killing of nine innocent black Americans, The Citadel posted on its website a statement from its president, Lt. Gen. John W. Rosa. The letter began: “This has been a difficult week for our community and state. The Citadel has directly felt the impact of the tragedy at Emanuel AME Church as one of the victims was a Citadel Graduate College alumnus and six of our employees lost family members. The Emanuel AME Church is our neighbor and we consider it a part of our extended Citadel family. We will continue to support the church and its members in their time of need. “Today, The Citadel Board of Visitors voted 9-3 in favor of moving the Confederate Naval Jack from Summerall Chapel to an appropriate location on campus.” NPR journalist Michele Norris, the curator of The Race Card Project, responded to The Citadel’s announcement via Twitter, expressing what’s on a lot of Americans’ minds: “This announcement raises a Q that begs an answer: Just where is an ‘appropriate place’ for the Confederate flag?” Excellent question. We can look forward to weeks, if not months, of apologists trying to explain why we should ever see again that racist emblem flying anywhere near government property. Lots of sentences beginning with homina homina homina (END and ending with something about states’ rights.

Finish the sentence: states’ rights to own slaves. With sympathy for the Citadel community, I do want to stress that the killing of nine innocent black Americans is personal to all of us. Despite what Ohio’s governor, presidential maybe-candidate John Kasich, says, this is not South Carolina’s problem to fix. This is America’s tragedy. This is our racist symbol. Time to bury it in the grave of history, where it has long belonged. I paused before writing this column. It’s been a week now, and when you’re a columnist, you always worry about having something new to say about what’s already on everybody’s mind. You want to avoid coming off as beating the same drum. But racists never worry about that. I’ve learned that over my 13 years as a columnist. One of my first columns, written in the fall of 2002 from Cleveland, called for retiring the Confederate flag. It generated my first avalanche of hate mail from around the country, and this was long before I was syndicated. Hate is a mighty bond for the morally empty, and some of them have never stopped writing to me. They don’t worry about being repetitive. Their fear is that they will be irrelevant. For the first time, their fear is justified. Nine innocent black Americans were killed in a church in Charleston. What if the alleged murderer had not been so public about his affection for the Confederate flag? Quite simply -- and sadly -- we know we would not feel so emboldened to believe we may be witnessing its impending demise. And that’s yet another tragedy I can’t get off my mind.

Illinois schools will receive $269 million more from the state of Illinois in the coming school year after a school funding plan was signed into law by Gov. Bruce Rauner on Wednesday. It’s good news on a couple of fronts: For one, it will provide more funding for our local schools, and should help to put a dent in budget deficits, which are becoming too common in districts including DeKalb-based District 428 and Sycamore’s District 427. For another, the move to fund schools should relieve some pressure for Republican Rauner and leaders of the Democrat-controlled Legislature to make a deal so that schools can open. As we have said time and again, Illinois has real issues that require systemic reforms – not accounting tricks. Those reforms will not come easily. But if the threat of school closures loomed, the temptation to resort to half-measures would be great. But forgive us for not feeling giddy. Although this move represents the state doing only a slightly better job, it is still failing to meet its commitment to 2 million schoolchildren. State lawmakers have not increased the “foundation level” for per-student funding since 2010. Lawmakers haven’t had to worry about increasing it in recent years, because the state hasn’t had the funds to pay even its share. In District 428, officials say reimbursements from the state have been millions short in recent school years. Last year, general state aid to schools was 89 percent of what funding formulas prescribed. This year, it will climb into the 90s. It’s not good enough. To fully fund general state aid to schools this year, the Illinois State Board of Education requested an additional $730 million from state lawmakers, which would have brought the total general state aid to almost $5.1 billion – full funding. Schools instead will get another $269 million, and will have to make do, even if it means spending reserve funds, laying off teachers, cutting programs or delaying new technology purchases. Again, it’s the systemic problems in Illinois state government that have left us all in the awkward position of applauding state government for doing a slightly better job but still failing to meet its obligations to our students. These failings are the reason the Legislature has passed a budget with a multibillion-dollar deficit, in violation of the state constitution, which demands that it be balanced. As Illinois’ generous and underfunded pension systems continue to consume an ever-growing share of the state budget, everyone else is left wanting. As issues like red tape, mandates and high workers’ compensation rates continue to put our state at a competitive disadvantage, we are failing to grow our economy. Meanwhile, our property taxes remain among the highest in the country, and our state has far more units of local government than any other. We are pleased to see Illinois schools will receive more funding next school year than in the last. However, we’re eager for changes that will allow the state to meet its obligation to pay 100 percent of its expected contribution to public schools. When that day comes again, maybe we will be giddy.

ANOTHER VIEW

Court saves health care plan, but work remains The Supreme Court on Thursday rescued Obamacare from a conservative attack for the second time in three years, prompting Justice Antonin Scalia to rename the law “ScotusCare.” He was just being puckish, as he often is in dissent, but he has a point: It’s time for opponents of the law to take responsibility for it – and that means working to improve it. Ruling against the claim that Congress prohibited federal subsidies for people buying health insurance in states that haven’t established their own exchanges, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote, “Congress passed the Affordable Care Act to improve health insurance markets, not to destroy them.” The case joins a long line of defeated arguments against the law: The so-called individual mandate requiring people to buy health insurance is unconstitutional (the court disagreed three years ago). The law will explode the deficit (the Congressional Budget Office reports the opposite is true). It will cause the economy to crash (not so far). It will cause insurance premiums to skyrocket (their growth has slowed). It will result in fewer employers offering coverage (the opposite has happened). It means more people will lose coverage than gain it (the opposite, again). Finally, they argued that people will hate their plans (most like them). This game was always pretty silly, and now it’s all but pointless. Rather than continue to search for ways to convince voters or the courts that Obamacare is fundamentally flawed or structurally deficient, members of Congress need to cooperate and address the law’s shortcomings – which are real but surmountable.

RUSSELL WILSON PASSING ACADEMY

‘Just a regular guy’

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson talks to between 450 and 500 kids at his camp, the Russell Wilson Passing Academy, during stretching drills Thursday at Huskie Stadium. Wilson has seven different camps at six different locations, including DeKalb, throughout the U.S. and Canada. He knows Northern Illinois University athletic director Sean Frazier from when both were at the University of Wisconsin. Wilson was playing football and Frazier was an assistant athletic director for the Badgers.

eKALB – Russell Wilson was much kinder to Northern Illinois this time around. Years after torching the Huskies during his days at Wisconsin, Wilson came to DeKalb as celebrity host of the Russell Wilson Passing Academy, which featured hundreds of youth players of all ages Thursday at Huskie Stadium. “He’s one of the best quarterbacks in the game, and he’s here right now,” said a smiling Jackson Johnson, 13, of DeKalb, during lunch break. The Seattle Seahawks star quarterback led the camp, which lasted about five hours, with help from a group that consisted of former and current Northern Illinois football players. “I shook his hand, and I think his hand ate mine,” Huskies linebacker Sean Folliard laughed. “He’s an impressive human being. He’s awesome to meet and seems like a really great guy [who] cares about the kids and is a genuine person.” In 2011, his senior year at Wisconsin, Wilson threw for 347 yards and three

NBA DRAFT

Bulls take power forward Bobby Portis By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com

Bobby Portis poses for photos with NBA commissioner Adam Silver after being selected 22nd overall by the Bulls on Thursday during the NBA Draft in New York.

Call Bobby Portis 6 feet, 11 inches, 250-pounds of insurance. With the No. 22 pick in the first round of Thursday’s NBA draft, the Bulls obviously made the decision that their frontcourt as it is currently constructed either has some expendable bodies or is more fragile than they’re letting on, as they added the versatile power forward from Arkansas. Maybe it’s both. Joakim Noah spent the past season laboring with a surgically repaired left knee that sources have indicated is “boneon-bone,” and also enters the last year of his contract. Taj Gibson had surgery on his left ankle last week and is sidelined from all basketball activity for possibly

four months. And then there’s Pau Gasol, who is losing a one-on-one with Father Time, sitting at age 34. Gibson and Noah were expected to be trade chips this summer, as the Bulls are trying to clear cap space to add a veteran small forward, as well as an experienced back-up point guard, so maybe the addition of Portis makes the team more comfortable in do-

Entering the night, the thought was the Bulls might add a point guard, but in their eyes, Portis was too good to pass up.

Softball player charged after pitch hit batter

ALTOONA, Pa. – A Penn State Altoona softball player is discussing a plea deal with prosecutors on assault charges for hitting a batter with a pitch during practice. Katelynn Burge, 20, faces one count of misdemeanor simple assault and harassment, The Altoona Mirror reported. Burge, a sophomore last season, is accused of hitting her teammate in retaliation at a practice in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, in April. University police said Burge suspected her teammate snitched on a coach for allegedly violating the school’s alcohol policy. It’s not clear whether the teammate reported any wrongdoing or whether the coach violated any policy. The victim was warned by a teammate that “everyone knows” she was the whistleblower when she arrived for practice. The friend told her she should leave, but the victim stayed and took her turn at the plate. Police said the ball hit the victim in the left shoulder, then Burge said: “That was for (the coach that was reported).” The player was not significantly hurt and continued batting practice.

Organizers change 2015 Tour de France route

PARIS – Tour de France organizers have changed the route of the 20th stage of this year’s race after a landslide in the French Alps. At 68.6-miles, the length of the Alpine stage between Modane and l’Alpe d’Huez remains unchanged, but the famed Col du Galibier is no longer part of the race program. Organizers said in a statement that after “the closure of the Chambon tunnel because of a landslide in April,” traffic in the area won’t be restored before the passage of the peloton July 25. Instead of tackling the Galibier, riders will climb the Col de la Croix-de-Fer in a “stage that from a sporting point of view remains generally unchanged.” The Tour starts July 4 in Utrecht, Netherlands.

1st openly gay baseball professional starts

SONOMA, Calif. – Baseball history was made Thursday on a field of wistful dreams in Northern California wine country when the sport’s first openly gay active professional started the game as a pitcher. Sean Conroy, 23, took the mound for the Sonoma Stompers, a 22-man team that is part of the independent Pacific Association of Baseball Clubs. The atmosphere at the ballpark was low-key, with no obvious signs it was a historic night or even a gay-pridethemed game except for the rainbow-striped socks and arm warmers some players – but not Conroy – wore. Conroy walked his first batter and struck out his second. The Stompers recruited the upstate New York native out of college in May. – Wire reports

The White Sox’s Carlos Sanchez hits a three-run triple against the Detroit Tigers in the 10th inning Thursday in Detroit.

WHITE SOX 8, TIGERS 7 (10 INNINGS)

Sanchez’s 3-run triple lifts Sox The ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT – Up a run in the 10th, White Sox manager Robin Ventura didn’t think twice about walking Miguel Cabrera to load the bases. “It’s always risky because you put the winning run at second, but you don’t tug on Superman’s cape too often,” Ventura said of the two-time American League MVP. “We’re going to take our chances with the next guy.” David Robertson struck out Josh Wilson to end the game, finishing an 8-7 victory over the Detroit Tigers. With the score 5-all, Joba Chamberlain (0-2) walked Melky Cabrera with one out in the 10th, hit Avisail Garcia with a pitch and then allowed pinch-hitter J.B. Shuck’s twoout infield single to shortstop.

Next at Detroit, 6 p.m. today, CSN, AM-670

Sanchez tripled past Miguel Cabrera at first and all the way to the right-field wall on a 1-2 pitch, putting the Sox ahead 8-5. Robertson gave up a two-run single to Bryan Holaday with one out in the bottom half, then retired Ian Kinsler on a flyout. With runners at first and second, Ventura decided to give Miguel Cabrera the free pass “I want to win the game, so I think I take the bat away from the best hitter in the game,” Robertson said. Wilson took a ball, then swung and missed at three

straight pitches, giving Robertson his 15th save in 19 chances. “I’ve seen enough of Miggy to realize he’s the best hitter in the game,” Ventura said. “He’s going to get me at some point, but he didn’t get me today.” Zach Duke (3-2) pitched a scoreless inning for the win, and Adam Eaton homered for the Sox. Kinsler and J.D. Martinez hit two-run homers for Detroit. Martinez has five home runs and 10 RBIs in his past four games. Ventura let Eaton know he was displeased after Eaton failed to run out an at-bat in Wednesday’s loss to Minnesota. Eaton then sent Alfredo Simon’s second pitch of Thursday’s game into the right-field stands for his second career leadoff homer. Sanchez began the day hitting .159 with six RBI in 37

games but then got his first big league triple and three-RBI game. “He did his job. I didn’t do mine,” Chamberlain said. “The greatest thing about this is I get a chance to go out there tomorrow and do it again.” Sox rookie Carlos Rodon allowed four runs, eight hits and three walks in five innings, and struck out seven. Tigers reliever Bruce Rondon struck out two batters in an eight-pitch seventh, his first major league appearance since Sept. 24, 2013. The right-hander had Tommy John surgery in March 2014 and made 13 appearances during a minor league injury rehabilitation assignment that started May 21. “He did a nice job,” manager Brad Ausmus said. “He got the two big outs.”

DODGERS 4, CUBS 0

Lester chased after 4 innings in Cubs’ loss Next

By BRIAN SANDALOW The Associated Press CHICAGO – Jon Lester’s first season with the Cubs is not going as planned. Lester’s winless streak stretched to seven starts when he lasted four innings in his shortest outing in more than three years, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Cubs, 4-0, Thursday for a four-game split. Signed to a $155 million, sixyear contract, Lester (4-6) allowed four runs, four hits and four walks, while striking out five. He is 0-4 with a 4.43 ERA since beating Pittsburgh on May 16. “It just comes down to the things I keep preaching and harping on, is fastball location and executing pitches,” Lester said. “That’s what it comes down to, and I’m not doing it consistently enough right now to help this team.” Lester had not gotten that few outs in a start since lasting two-plus innings for Boston in an 18-3 loss to Texas on April 17, 2012. When Lester was with Boston or Oakland, he was allowed to go longer in games on occasions

Cubs starter Jon Lester pitches during the first inning Thursday against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Wrigley Field. when he gave up early runs. But with no designated hitter in the National League, the Cubs pinch hit for Lester in the fourth after he threw consecutive scoreless innings. “There’s been times where in my career I’ve given up four in the first and gotten into the eighth,” Lester said. “That just doesn’t happen here.” His frustration showed in the

second inning after he walked A.J. Ellis. Lester said he turned around with his head down and yelled something to himself, but apparently plate umpire Andy Fletcher thought it was aimed at him. Fletcher had to be blocked from getting closer to the pitcher by catcher David Ross. Cubs manager Joe Maddon then came out to argue with Fletcher but was not ejected.

“Rossie did a great job of going out there and got between him, and I was able to talk to Andy and I think it settled down after that,” Maddon said. Carlos Frias combined with four relievers on an eight-hitter. Jimmy Rollins had two hits, an RBI and run scored for the NL West-leading Dodgers, who won the final two games of the series. Left fielder Alex Guerrero threw out Chris Coghlan at home plate in the fourth inning when Coghlan tried to score from second on Miguel Montero’s two-out single. “Carlos put up zeroes through five and the bullpen did a nice job piecing it together for us,” Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. Howie Kendrick hit a tworun double in the first, and Enrique Hernandez tripled in a run in the second. Frias (5-5) allowed seven hits in five innings, struck out five and walked three.

FIFA WOMEN’S WORLD CUP

U.S. needs offense vs. China Next

By ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press OTTAWA, Ontario –The last time the United States played China in the Women’s World Cup was in the 1999 final at the Rose Bowl, when the Americans won on penalty kicks for their second title and Brandi Chastain famously ripped off her jersey. The teams meet again tonight, with the winner advancing to a semifinal against top-ranked Germany or No. 3 France, and the Americans still are seeking their third title. The United States has a 24game unbeaten streak against China dating to 2003. After scoring just six goals in their first four games, the Americans look to Alex Morgan for offense. The 25-yearold star forward was sidelined by a bone bruise in her left knee from April 11 until June 8, made her first start of the tournament in the group-stage finale against Nigeria and scored her first goal in Monday’s 2-0 round-of-16 win over Colombia. “I feel better and better each game,” Morgan said. “I’m seeing my speed, my change of direction, my shot coming back. It feels good and hopefully in the next games it will feel great.” The Americans will be missing midfielders Megan Rapinoe and Lauren Holiday, suspended because of yellow card accumulation. Morgan Brian, 22, and 26-year-old Christen Press are likely to

Quarterfinals China vs. U.S., 6:30 p.m., today at Ottawa, Ontario Veteran Heather O’Reilly is also available.

The United States’ Ali Krieger (from left), Lauren Holiday and Alex Morgan celebrate a goal against Colombia during the second half of a FIFA Women’s World Cup round of 16 game Monday in Edmonton, Alberta. take their spots in the starting lineup against China. Rapinoe has been one of the most creative and dangerous players in Canada, while Holiday has been steady and dependable. “They’re definitely both incredible players, great for our team. They’re going to be missed, for sure,” fellow midfielder Carli Lloyd said. “But it is what it is. We kind of have to get on with it. We can’t really dwell on the fact we won’t have them out on the field.” China coach Hao Wei was peppered with questions Thursday about whether the team was seeking revenge – either for that 1999 loss or the winless streak. “I don’t think it is vengeance or anything like that,” Hao said. “It is just a match. We just have our usual mind-

set about the game.”

The replacements: Coach Jill Ellis has said Brian will likely replace Holiday in the middle of the midfield alongside Lloyd, while it’s widely expected Press will start in Rapinoe’s left flank spot. Brian is the youngest player on the U.S. team. “Mo has played significant minutes in our games,” Ellis said. “We’ve partnered her specifically with Carli and Lauren at times so she could be confident in that position. She’s a tremendous ball distributor, good on services, so we have other options there for us.” Ellis could slide Tobin Heath to the left flank and use Press on the right. Press started against Australia in the team’s World Cup opener and scored a goal.

Chastain told The Associated Press that it wasn’t that singular moment that was special to her; it was about the process of getting there. “I liked the outcome, of course. We all enjoyed the outcome. But when I look at that picture or I remember that PK, I think of the months and years in advance, a lifetime of dedication to the sport I love, to be the best athlete I could at that moment,” she said. Scouting China: China advanced to the knockout stage by finishing second to host Canada in Group A. After falling 1-0 to the Canadians on Christine Sinclair’s penalty kick in second-half stoppage time, China beat the Netherlands and played a 2-2 draw with New Zealand. Wang ShanShan scored early and 16th-ranked China hung on to defeat Cameroon 1-0 last Saturday to open the elimination round. A number of players from the U.S. team attended the match at Commonwealth Stadium. China has played in the World Cup six times but missed out four years ago in Germany. The Steel Roses have never won a title.

Women’s World Cup quarterfinals A look at the Women’s World Cup quarterfinals Friday and Saturday in Canada: Friday GERMANY VS. FRANCE Where: Olympic Stadium, Montreal, Quebec When: 3 p.m. TV: Fox Outlook: Many observers are calling this the true championship game as the top-ranked Germans face the No. 3 French. (FIFA arranged the brackets to keep the popular Canadian and U.S. teams alive as long as possible.) Germany’s Anja Mittag and Celia Sasic have scored five goals apiece, while France’s Eugenie Le Sommer and Marie Laure Delie have three apiece. Prediction: Germany, 2-1 UNITED STATES VS. CHINA Where: Lansdowne Stadium, Ottawa, Ontario When: 6:30 p.m. TV: Fox Outlook: With a dull and predictable attack,

the Americans have had to rely on their well-structured defense. Megan Rapinoe, the only creative spark, is serving a yellow card suspension. Lauren Holiday, a central midfielder, is sitting out for the same reason. China, a former titan of women’s soccer in the rebuilding stages, has exceeded expectations by finishing second in group play and defeating upstart Cameroon, 1-0, in the round of 16. Prediction: United States, 1-0 Saturday JAPAN VS. AUSTRALIA Where: Commonwealth Stadium, Edmonton, Alberta When: 3 p.m. TV: Fox Sports 1 Outlook: The reigning champions from Japan are rounding into form after an unblemished but unremarkable group stage. The second goal against the Netherlands in the round of 16 was the best of the tournament, a flowing sequence of passes, off-the-ball movement, deception and an exquisite shot. The Aussies have the pace and midfield acumen to counter

Japan’s technical ability and experience. After finishing second behind the United States in a rough group, the Matildas surprised Brazil, 1-0, in the knockout stage. Prediction: Japan, 2-1, in extra time CANADA VS. ENGLAND Where: BC Place, Vancouver, British Columbia When: 6:30 p.m. TV: Fox Sports 1 Outlook: Like the United States, Canada has not let bland play spoil its championship aspirations. While scoring just three goals (one on a penalty kick), the hosts have received uplifting performances from West Virginia University defender Kadeisha Buchanan, 19, and veteran goalkeeper Erin McLeod in registering three shutouts. England, which came from behind to defeat Norway in the round of 16, is seeking its first semifinal berth. In a pre-Cup friendly four weeks ago, Canada defeated visiting England, 1-0. Prediction: Canada on penalty kicks after 1-1 draw

Harnish helped with Wilson’s football camp • WILSON

Continued from page B1 DeKalb. Northern Illinois associate athletic director Ryan Sedevie, who spent 18 years at Wisconsin, said bringing the camp to Huskie Stadium was a yearlong process – and included sending more than 100 youth players from the area up to the camp in Madison, Wisconsin, last summer. NIU coach Rod Carey was all smiles about having Wilson running around Huskie Stadium. “What a shot in the arm for the community and NIU,” Carey said. “To get a two-time Super Bowl quarterback and, obviously, a great college quarterback and have him on the campus for the kids – you see the kids’ eyes, they’re all wideeyed. I’m super excited. Sean has a great relationship with him, so he got it done. I had no doubts when they started talking about it, that he was going to get it done.” The day, which featured photos and autographs from Wilson for the young players along with plenty of football drills, left many of them with wide smiles. “When he told us, ‘Good job,’ it’s like, ‘Yo, that’s Russell Wilson. That’s awesome,’ ” DeKalb resident Jeremiah Wright, 16, said.

Karl-Anthony Towns poses for a photo with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver after being announced as the top pick Thursday’s NBA basketball draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves in New York.

NBA DRAFT

Timberwolves select Towns with top pick By BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press NEW YORK – The Minnesota Timberwolves got their man in the middle. The Lakers got a playmaking partner for Kobe Bryant. Knicks fans just got mad – though not for long. Minnesota selected Kentucky’s Karl-Anthony Towns with the first pick in the NBA draft on Thursday night, the first of three straight freshmen chosen before New York chose Latvian forward Kristaps Porzingis, triggering loud, long boos from their fans inside Barclays Center. They were cheering later in the first round when the Knicks acquired the rights to Notre Dame guard Jerian Grant from Atlanta for Tim Hardaway Jr. Before that, the Timberwolves went for a center in their first time owning the No. 1 pick. They can add him to a young roster featuring Rookie of the Year Andrew Wiggins, who was picked first last year by Cleveland and later dealt to Minnesota in the Kevin Love trade. Towns’ selection wasn’t a surprise – though he said he didn’t know until it was announced. “When Mr. Adam Silver came out, I saw him, and he said, ‘with the No. 1 pick’, I was racing,” said Towns, who was sitting with Kentucky coach John Calipari. “I told Coach Cal before when he first came out that I was trying to drink the water and I was shaking uncontrollably, and I told him, ‘Coach, don’t give me the ball right now for the last-second shot. I

wouldn’t make it.’ ” The Los Angeles Lakers then took guard D’Angelo Russell of Ohio State, who was wearing a red jacket, bowtie and shoes that matched the Buckeyes’ school colors. Red was the color of choice in the green room, though Towns wore a grey jacket and Russell’s table later turned gold when his supporters donned Lakers hats. He drew huge cheers when he was announced but his crowd was dwarfed by Towns’. The New Jersey native said he had above 50 family and friends in attendance. “This is home to me,” he said. “Been able to come here and have all my closest friends and love ones come out here. It’s the most special moments in my life.” The 6-foot-11 Towns averaged 10.3 points and 6.7 rebounds in just 21 minutes per game, as Kentucky used a platoon system in winning its first 38 games and reaching the Final Four. It was Kentucky’s third No. 1 pick in the last six years, joining Anthony Davis in 2012 and John Wall in 2010. The Wildcats were hoping to have a record seven players picked and were well on their way when Sacramento took center Willie Cauley-Stein with the sixth pick, Utah grabbed Trey Lyles at No. 12 and guard Devin Booker followed one spot later to Phoenix. Booker, at 18 the youngest player in the draft, gave the Wildcats a record-tying four players among the top 14 selections. Duke in 1999 and North Carolina in 2005 also had four lottery picks.

Guard help needed • BULLS

Continued from page B1 Danielle Guerra – dguerra@shawmedia.com

Former Northern Illinois University quarterback, and currently with the Arizona Cardinals, Chandler Harnish talks to his group Thursday during the Russell Wilson Passing Academy inside the Chessick Center at Huskie Stadium about staying out of trouble and getting good grades to play football in college. Danny Russell, 15, also of DeKalb, said he was nervous about being around one of the top quarterbacks in the game but when he met him, he was amazed that Wilson seemed like “just a regular guy.” According to Carey, the young players weren’t the only ones eager to meet Wilson. “As wide-eyed as the kids are, our players are, too,” Carey laughed. “This is a

guy where our guys want to be.” In Wilson’s only regular-season game at Soldier Field, he threw for 293 yards and had a game-winning touchdown pass to Sidney Rice in overtime to give the Seahawks a 23-17 win in 2013. When asked if the camp was a chance to convert some young Bears fans into being young Seahawks fans, Wilson smiled as wide as many of the young play-

ers Thursday. “I won’t say it out loud,” Wilson said, “but maybe that’s the case.” However, for the 15-yearold Russell, not even being around the Super Bowl champion could sway his alliance. “I think he’s a good player,” he said. “But I still got to stick with the Bears even though they’re not winning.”

using his big frame to score in the paint. Then again, that was at the college level. The Bulls will need that low-post mentality, especially after watching what Cleveland forward Tristan Thompson did to them in the Eastern Conference semifinals, dominating them on the glass. As far as passing on a guard, the game of chicken will continue between the organization and the futures of both Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler. Rose has two seasons left on his deal and has been an injury waiting to happen since the 2012 playoffs. Owed almost $42

million over the next two seasons, Rose also is untradeable. The Bulls could have drafted Tyus Jones from Duke, who went two picks later to Cleveland before reportedly being traded to Minnesota, and would have added some depth to that point guard position. Now, they’ll have to rely on the likes of Kirk Hinrich, who owns his own player option at $2.8 million, and then possibly add another veteran with Aaron Brooks a free agent. Then there’s Butler, who is a restricted free agent this summer, and is already showing that he is willing to play hardball with the Bulls, looking to get as short a deal as he can from the team so that he can hit the free-agent market as early as 2017.

My husband said, “What about the chocolate in the refrigerator?” I hadn’t seen any, but when I went to look, there was a packet of chocolate bars wedged in between the drawers. The expiration date on the wrapper was two years ago, when Grandma last lived in the house. Abby, the refrigerator had been cleaned out multiple times, but somehow we missed the chocolate until today when we needed a sign from my grandmother that she was near.

Grandma was a Dear Abby fan. We found many of your clippings among her photos. I know she’d love it if you shared this story with your readers. – Jean’s Grand-

Sjogren’s syndrome involves more than just dry eyes Dear Dr. K: I have Sjogren’s syndrome. People tend to dismiss it as a problem with dry eyes, but it’s so much more than that. Can you please describe this condition for your readers? Dear Reader: Sjogren’s (pronounced “show grins”) syndrome is a lifelong condition. It does tend to be best known for causing dry eyes, but it can cause other problems as well. For example, Sjogren’s syndrome can produce dry mouth and affect any of the body’s glands, including those that secrete sweat, saliva and oil. About half of people with Sjogren’s syndrome also have another connective-tissue disease such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. Named after Swedish eye

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff doctor Dr. Henrik Sjogren, this syndrome affects people of all ages and races. However, 90 percent of all cases involve women, most commonly between the ages of 45 and 55. Sjogren’s syndrome is an autoimmune disorder. That means the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own cells and organs. The immune system exists to attack foreign microbes (like bacteria or viruses) or substances that invade our body. In autoimmune diseases, however, the immune system seems to think the body’s cells

and organs are foreign invaders that need to be eradicated. In Sjogren’s syndrome, the immune system attacks the organs that normally produce lubricating fluid. These include the salivary glands in the mouth and the lacrimal glands in the eye. This eventually causes a marked reduction in tear and saliva production, leading to the characteristic dryness of the eyes and mouth. Dry mouth and dry eyes may not sound all that bad to someone who has never experienced them. But consider the many consequences these conditions can bring about. Dry mouth can cause tooth decay, periodontal disease, salivary gland stones or infection, oral fungal infections and mouth sores. Difficulty swallowing

and eating can lead to weight loss and malnutrition. Dry eyes can produce blurred vision and the feeling there is sand in the eye. Insufficient lubrication of the eyes also can lead to bacterial infection of the conjunctiva (the thin membrane that covers the inner surface of the eyelid and the white part of the eyeball), damage to the cornea and even vision loss. Besides causing potentially serious problems of the eyes and mouth, Sjogren’s syndrome can impact other parts of the body. Fortunately, this is uncommon. Outside of the eyes and mouth, Sjogren’s syndrome is most likely to affect the lymph glands, which can swell and become quite large. Indeed, people with this

syndrome also have a higher risk of developing cancer, particularly lymphoma (cancer of the lymph glands). Sjogren’s syndrome also can damage organs essential for life: the lungs, pancreas, kidneys, skin and brain. So I agree with you: While it often is a mildly irritating condition, it can be quite severe. Fortunately, proper treatment can help to relieve symptoms. Artificial tears keep the eyes moist. Various treatments that quiet the immune system’s attack on the glands that make tears also can be very effective.

My parents think he is very handsome and highly intelligent and would be a good catch. And now they are pressuring me to go out with him – at least once. I don’t see it that

South Bend, Indiana Nameless: It’s your decision whether or not to go out with this guy. You are old enough to make that decision, and your parents should back off. Dr. Wallace: As a parent, I’m concerned my high school son and daughter are not getting a well-balanced lunch when they eat in the school cafeteria. I try to get them to take a lunch prepared by me, but they want to eat in the cafete-

ria with their friends. When I was a student 20 years ago, school cafeterias served food high in fat, cholesterol and salt content. We know these are unhealthy and should be avoided. I can visualize school lunches of macaroni and gobs of cheese, canned green beans and chocolate chip cookies washed down by a pint of regular milk. It’s a wonder I’m still alive and don’t weigh 250 pounds. When will schools come to realize they are teaching our young people to eat the wrong kinds of food? Why are schools in the food business anyhow?

SUDOKU By EUGENIA LAST Newspaper Enterprise Association

TODAY – Review and revive an entrepreneurial idea. Stay within budget to ensure the longevity of your endeavor. A leadership role will emphasize your skills and improve your standing in the business community. Personal relationships will become more meaningful. Take time to nurture what is important to you. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You have faced your share of pitfalls, however, a positive attitude will get you back on track and lead to success. Pessimism breeds discontent and impedes progress. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Keep your thoughts hidden. Listening to negative comments will sour your mood. Find a solitary activity that keeps you busy and away from interference. Focus inward and let others do as they please. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t feel guilty about events you cannot control. Do the best with what you have, and don’t let thoughts of what might have been play on your mind. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Make the most of your social network. To improve your position in the workplace, let others know your goals. Word of mouth is still a valuable option when exploring career opportunities. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – You will blow an altercation out of proportion. Review the facts and you will see that you overreacted. Apologies may be necessary if you have spoken in haste. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Listen and observe. Don’t let anyone else’s opinion keep you from doing what is best for you. Put your attributes on the line and go after your goals with gusto. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You will gain satisfaction through involvement in a worthy cause. Your sense of fair play will be a valuable asset to a charitable organization. Long-term friendships will develop. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Your health should be your primary interest. You can’t keep up a hectic pace for long stretches of time. Make sure that you get adequate rest and don’t overextend yourself. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – There will be many demands placed upon you. Let others know about the limitations of your schedule. It’s OK to say no if you have too much on your plate. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Determination will be required if you are facing partnership issues. Be prepared to make adjustments. Find out what your opponent has in store before you engage in battle. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Compromise is not necessarily a bad thing. Being sensitive to the needs of others sometimes means putting your own priorities aside for a time. The rewards for your mindfulness will be worthwhile. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Be true to yourself. Put a creative spin on any task you take on. Don’t dwell on past disappointments. If you face the day with optimism, you will be happy with the results you get.

tional School Lunch Program was started as a public health campaign to improve the nutritional state of students. It later evolved into a way to use surplus food produced by productive farmers. Most school districts would be thrilled to eliminate the “headache” of providing hot meals for students, but in some instances this is the only hot meal the students get during the day. It would be safe to say all school cafeteria managers are aware of the need to provide nutritious, delicious lunches low in salt and fat. Not only are they aware the future health of students is important, but they are also teaching students to eat properly. A great many school cafete-

rias now offer salad bars with fresh fruits and vegetables, pizza with low-fat cheese and substitute ground turkey for ground beef in meat dishes. Ask the school principal if you can stop by the cafeteria and have lunch after the students are back in class? Then, if you have any questions or suggestions, you can voice your concerns to the people who can do something about them. Most principals will honor such a request, but if for some reason your request is denied, give a call to the superintendent’s office. They will be glad to answer your questions.

CROSSWORD

Three finesses in two suits D.B. Sweeney, an actor, said, “When you do a play, or even a movie, you have weeks to finesse your character. You really understand why they do what they do. In TV, you get new material weekly about your character.” At the bridge table, you often will be faced with finesses, but you do not have weeks to decide your line of play. In this deal, which finesses should South attempt? He zooms into six spades. West leads the club queen. Declarer takes the trick and draws trumps in three rounds. What should he do next? North’s three-heart rebid promised 5-7 points and at least a five-card suit. Over four spades, South bid what he hoped he could make. Declarer starts with 11 top tricks: six spades, two hearts, one diamond and two clubs. If West has the heart queen, cashing declarer’s king, then taking that finesse will work; South might even collect an overtrick. But if the finesse loses, the contract has no chance. Is there something better? Of course there is. At trick five, South should lead his low heart and finesse dummy’s jack. If East wins the trick, declarer can claim. He has four heart tricks by overtaking his king with dummy’s ace. Or, if East does not take the trick, South can run one of dummy’s diamonds. Then, when he wins the next trick with his club king, he overtakes his heart king with dummy’s ace and tries a second diamond finesse. His odds of success are very high, but they are hard to quantify because how likely is it that East would duck his heart queen?

On May 17, after two years of instruction in the Christian faith at Immanuel Lutheran Church in DeKalb, the 2015 class confirmed its faith and are now ready to take their places within the church as responsible, confessing productive members.

Cortland library gets grant to support reading, literacy The Dollar General Literacy Foundation recently awarded Cortland Community Library a $1,500 grant to support Summer Reading and family literacy. The library began its annual summer reading program June 8. This free program encourages families to read to their youngest children, and keep school-aged children reading throughout summer vacation. Cortland Library expects 400 to join Summer Reading, which is open to children, teens and adults. Reading is a key part of lifelong learning. Summer Reading awards small prizes for reading accomplishments. Last year, Cortland Library recorded 10,577 patron visits during June and

Reading to infants and preschool children has been proven to prepare them for success in school. The Dollar General Literacy Foundation supports initiatives that help others improve their lives through literacy and education. Since its inception in 1993, the Dollar General Literacy Foundation has awarded more than $100 million in grants to nonprofit organizations, helping nearly 6 million individuals take their first steps toward literacy or continued education.
