Ruling muddles pay drama in Illinois

Job hunt tough for young workers

Judge says workers must be paid in full The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Reports find millennials are educated, but many are unemployed By KATIE SMITH ksmith@shawmedia.com DeKALB – After seeing some of his peers underemployed and buried in student loans, Andrew Nordman decided dropping out of college and joining the workforce was the best choice for him. Nordman, the 28-year-old owner of Cademon Brewing in Genoa, said he saved thousands of dollars and a year of his life by dropping out before his senior year in college and using experience he gained outside of school to land him a job as the lead developer at a Web development studio. “I know folks that I went to college with who were in the same program, and they did finish their degree, but they didn’t have the work experience that I had, and they’re still struggling,” Nordman said. “They’re still trying to find that breakout role. Some of them have abandoned their ideals entirely because they just needed to find some work.” Millennials – loosely defined as people born between 1981 and 1997 – are collectively more educated than generations before them, but

Assistant brewer Ryan Taves weighs out the hops for the boil Thursday at Cademon Brewing in Genoa. they also experience the highest rate of unemployment compared with other generations, when comparing years that each generation was four years into a economic recovery, according to a study conducted by the Pew Research Center. As job requirements are rapidly changing and a college education is marketed as a necessity, some

young people are struggling to find work, even after years of schooling, said Michelle Allen, Career Center coordinator at Kishwaukee College. “One other challenge I think that they face, truthfully, is that a lot of the jobs of tomorrow have not even been created yet and you’ve got to stage yourself to be a part of that,” she said. “But that is an extremely exciting time because

they’re the ones creating those next jobs, that next world, and what it looks like.” Justin Wilson, a senior kinesiology major at Northern Illinois University, is just beginning his job search. Although he isn’t feeling too much pressure yet, he feels there is more competition than for someone 50 years ago entering the job market, he said. “Back then, once you graduated college, you basically had a job. It was point A to point B,” he said. “It’s a lot more competitive of a market out there, so it’s a little bit more tough.” Nordman gained three years’ experience as the lead developer at a Web development studio while he was in college. After leaving school, he used that experience to join a startup company in DeKalb, which led to a corporate job and later to a decision to start his own business, he said. Others Nordman’s age are having a harder time, however. Wilson, 22, remains optimistic about his future career, but hasn’t had any job offers yet. He knows he

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois House adopted a stop-gap spending plan Thursday that would guarantee state employee paychecks for July, but Gov. Bruce Rauner quickly criticized it, as Illinois’ budget muddle got messier when a judge’s ruling on worker pay contradicted an earlier decision by a different court. As the Democratic-controlled House OK’d a one-month budget after a two-hour debate peppered with name-calling and recrimination, a southwestern Illinois judge decreed state workers should get their full paychecks even without a formal budget. That contradicted a Bruce Rauner Cook County court ruling earlier in the week that no budget means no pay. The state is 10 days into a new fiscal year without authority to pay bills. Republican Rauner insists on pro-busi- Leslie Munger ness reforms to spur economic investment before dealing with Democrats on a budget that has a deficit of up to $4 billion. St. Clair County Circuit Judge Robert LeChien sided with 13 public employee unions in declaring Comptroller Leslie Munger must continue paying state workers. The ruling came days after a Cook County judge said only some workers covered by federal minimum wage laws can be paid. Munger – a Republican whose office filed fresh papers objecting to the Cook County decision Thursday – said the St. Clair ruling authorizes payroll-processing for all state employees. “Paying state employees for their work is the right and legal thing to do,” she said in a statement. Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office planned to appeal the St. Clair order. The Democrat said continued legal wrangling makes it “all the more imperative that the governor and the Legislature do their jobs and enact a budget.” The short-term budget plan,

Battling dangerous dust ... for centuries I’m not tough enough to handle a jackhammer. The jarring motion, weight, noise, dust and strength required to operate this tool would thrash me in minutes. I respect people who work in construction. Anyway, my jackhammer assessment jelled while watching a guy breaking up a section of curb across the street. Our street is being repaved this summer, but according to a city (of Sycamore) memo left in our door handle, before the street is repaved, uneven and broken sections of sidewalks, curbs and driveways will be deconstructed, then reconstructed. What I’ve seen so far alarms me, but repaving my street is happening because of tax dollars. Thus, I consider myself a paying customer. I’m alarmed by the lack of safety gear, particularly one item of safety gear. No one thus far has worn a mask. That’s what astounds me, because concrete dust is deadly. It’s true that more modern concrete saws and grinders use water and vacuums to reduce the amount of airborne dust, but by no means is the dust

THE FINE LINE Jason Akst eliminated. I saw clouds of dust, it’s on my lawn, and my kid plays outside, so I wanted to find out more about the hazards. That was the easy part. The Center for Public Integrity has just released a long, depressing study titled “Unequal Risk: Slow-motion tragedy for American workers.” The report is about worker exposure to a variety of chemicals, but exposure to concrete dust figures prominently. According to the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, “Exposure to cement dust can irritate [the] eyes, nose, throat and the upper respiratory system. Skin contact may result in moderate irritation to thickening/ cracking of skin to severe skin damage from chemical burns. Silica exposure can lead to lung injuries including silicosis and lung cancer.” Concrete dust also can lead to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and kidney disease.

How long have we known about these dangers? Centuries. Ancient Greeks and Romans knew. A Dutch physician wrote in 1672 that slicing through the lungs of a stone worker during necropsy was “like cutting a mass of sand,” and in America, a secretary of labor launched a nationwide awareness campaign after hundreds of workers died from a tunnel-building project in the 1930s. In 1974, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health said the workplace exposure limit for silica put people in danger. NIOSH urged OSHA to cut the limit in half, from 100 micrograms of inhalable crystalline silica per cubic meter of air, to 50. OSHA has been trying to implement that recommendation, which would cover all industries, for decades. Currently, about 2.2 million workers are exposed to crystalline silica particles at work. OSHA estimates the new rule will provide average net benefits of about $2.8 to $4.7 billion annually over the next 60 years because of reduced sickness. The rule will cost the average

workplace about $1,242, but companies with fewer than 20 employees would face costs of about $550. “The proposed rule is expected to have no discernible impact on total U.S. employment,” OSHA says. Industry groups and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are fighting the proposed rule change. OSHA recommends the following steps to protect oneself from concrete dust: • Rinse eyes with water if they come into contact with cement dust. • Use soap and water to wash off dust to avoid skin damage. • Wear a P-, N- or R-95 respirator to minimize inhalation of cement dust. • Eat and drink only in dust-free areas to avoid ingesting cement dust.

TODAY’S TALKER

Country acts abandon Confederate flag By KRISTIN M. HALL The Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Confederate flag was once a familiar symbol in country music, representing the rural South and the renegade spirit of artists such as David Allan Coe and Hank Williams Jr. But the rebel banner that will be removed Friday from the grounds of the South Carolina Capitol has faded from stage and song, with many country artists quietly distancing themselves from the emblem that used to feature prominently in merchandise, lyrics and concerts. “You won’t find it being used by young country acts today, partly because it doesn’t mean the same thing to them,” said Robert K. Oermann, author and columnist for MusicRow magazine. “Partly because some of them aren’t Southern and partly because if you want to appeal to a national audience, why would you do that?” Many artists have adopted the American flag instead. Only a small number of country artists have been willing to speak on the is-

John Rich of the musical group Big and Rich performs Nov. 2, 2009. Rich said he agrees with calls to remove the Confederate flag from its pole outside the Statehouse in Columbia, S.C. sue in the weeks since nine black churchgoers were fatally shot at a Bible study in Charleston, South Carolina. Charlie Daniels wrote a long column on his website addressing the most recent controversy over the flag, which he called “a sign of defiance, a sign of pride, a declaration of a geographical area that you were proud to be from.” “That’s all it is to me and all it ever has been to me,”

Daniels wrote, explaining that he opposes racism and believes that every person deserves the same rights and advantages regardless of skin color. “Unfortunately,” Daniels said on the site, “the Confederate battle flag has been adopted by hate groups — and individuals like Dylann Roof,” who is charged with murder in the church attack. John Rich, of the duo Big and Rich, told Fox News’

Sean Hannity that he agreed with calls to remove the flag from its pole outside the Statehouse in Columbia. A protest song called “Take Down Your Flag,” written by singer songwriter Peter Mulvey, has been recorded and posted online by hundreds of artists, including Ani DiFranco, bluesman Keb’ Mo and actor Jeff Daniels. The banner was not commonly used until the late 1960s, when it began to be adopted by some country and rock artists who identified as outlaw musicians appealing to blue-collar fans, Oermann said. Coe and Williams, the country group Alabama and rockers like Lynyrd Skynyrd all used the flag on stage or in merchandise or referenced the flag or the Confederacy in their lyrics. The flag continued to appear in some country acts through the 1970s and early 1980s, but it fell out of favor as the genre became more commercial and the industry sought to reach wider audiences in the suburbs and urban areas beyond the South.

Greek government offers proposal to creditors The ASSOCIATED PRESS ATHENS, Greece – Greece finally met a deadline that counted on Thursday, delivering a series of sweeping proposals to its creditors before midnight to set off a mad rush toward a weekend deal to stave off a financial collapse of the nation. The package raised hopes that Greece can get a rescue deal that will prevent a catastrophic exit from the euro after key creditors said they were open to discussing how to ease the country’s debt load, a long-time sticking point in their talks.

In a significant about-face, the government caved into demands for a new round of austerity measures, including sales tax hikes and cuts in state spending for pensions that the left-leaning Greek government had long resisted. In the text of proposals sent by Athens late Thursday, the government conceded to demands it had previously refused to accept – mostly on moving various categories of goods and services to higher sales tax rates – in exchange for a new $59 billion bailout package. Many of the proposed re-

forms were harsher than those roundly rejected by the Greek public in a bailout referendum last Sunday. But the government said, in return, it “would seek a commitment from creditors to negotiate ... further measures to restructure the long-term debt.” After months of foot-dragging despite impending chaos, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras met a midnight deadline with more than an hour to spare. The spokesman for eurogroup President Jeroen Dijsselbloem tweeted that it was “important for institutions to consider these (proposals)

in their assessment” of the Greek situation. The government scheduled an emergency vote in parliament late Friday to win backing for the proposals and said it believed it had the support needed for an endorsement. Finance officials from the European institutions and the International Monetary Fund were to fine-comb through the proposals on Friday before the 19 eurozone finance ministers assess them on Saturday. In ideal circumstances, a summit of all 28 European Union leaders would be able to approve them on Sunday.

A budget presentation is expected in August followed by formal approval of the budget, Burgess said. In June, the school board approved a four-year deal with the district’s teachers union that included revised salary schedules, a 2 percent base salary increase in the first and second years, a 1.5

percent increase in the third year and a 2.5 percent increase in the contract’s final year. The school board also will discuss a 2 percent pay increase for substitute bus driver routes and extra curricular routes and the district’s Pay to Ride program, which allows students who don’t qualify for busing to pay for the service. The Pay to Ride program has been offered for nearly a decade, Burgess said.

Bugs take over summer reading at DeKalb library By RHONDA GILLESPIE rjonesgillespie@shaw.com DeKALB – Youngsters got up close with a Madagascar hissing cockroach, a bumblebee millipede and a venomous – elderly – Chilean rose hair tarantula Thursday as part of the summer reading program at the DeKalb Public Library. Several of the more than three dozen children who attended the special event, held in the library’s courtyard, weren’t scared at all by the multilegged insects. In fact, The Grout Museum District’s Emma Seehusen, who lead the presentation, found out that the youth were eager to touch the insects, and could answer questions about them.

“What makes an insect a true insect?” Seehusen asked the children. Five-year-old Graham Willrett of Sycamore was one of the first to raise his hand and gave the correct answer. The soon to be North Grove Elementary School first-grader said he learned about that in kindergarten. Toby Krupa’s 3-year-old, Joshua, had no qualms about sliding his finger down the cockroach’s backside. The DeKalb dad said the preschooler has been infatuated with bugs for a while and the presentation was “a perfect thing for him.” “I love everything [Seehusen] showed us,” 5-year-old Andrew Nehring said. He attended with his day camp

group. The event was to coincide with the library’s reading theme of “one building, many stories” and was one of several planned to promote literacy. So what do the bugs – usually associated with feelings of cooties and eeriness – have to do with summer reading? “A lot of insects build. They all construct some kind of home for themselves” and masterfully so, said Theresa Winterbauer, the DeKalb Public Library’s youth services manager. She said books help children build skills. The Grout District Museum, based in Waterloo, Iowa, houses artifacts and historical data, and has some live snakes and other creatures that children can see and touch.

Jobs cut at Get Covered Illinois before push By CARLA K. JOHNSON The Associated Press CHICAGO – Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration has eliminated 15 staff positions from Get Covered Illinois, the state’s health insurance exchange, three months ahead of the third annual enrollment period under President Barack Obama’s health care law. The layoffs raise questions about the Republican administration’s plans for helping consumers enroll in health insurance coverage under the law – the Democratic president’s signature domestic policy achievement.

Staff members learned Wednesday of the layoffs that take effect July 31. On Thursday, the Rauner administration announced Get Covered Illinois will become a division of the Department of Insurance to “streamline program processes” and “improve efficiency,” according to a news release. The insurance department is headed by Rauner appointee Anne Melissa Dowling, who came from the Connecticut Insurance Department and was a board member of Connecticut’s state-based health insurance exchange. The open enrollment period for health insurance cov-

erage begins Nov. 1 and runs through Jan. 31, 2016. “Entering year three, we will be operating with less federal funding than in previous years and have reduced our staffing levels,” according to a statement emailed by chief marketing officer Jose Munoz, one of the people whose job was cut. In total, Illinois has received more than $150 million from the federal government for Get Covered Illinois, but it’s not clear how much of that is still available. The Get Covered Illinois website and a call center will still operate. An unknown

Ill. school superintendent gets perk for lower pension The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Illinois State Superintendent of Education Tony Smith’s contract includes a perk that was included to match retirement benefits provided to his predecessor, according to the State Board of Education. It’s needed, the Chicago Tribune reported after obtaining Smith’s contract through an open records request, because Smith receives a less lucrative retirement plan designed to control pension costs. To make up for Smith’s reduced pension, he will now receive an annual stipend, expected to be worth thousands of dollars, in addition to his $225,000 salary. The perk comes at the heels of efforts by Gov. Bruce Rauner to pull the state out of its pension crisis, as controversy continues to surround the unpopular Tier II retirement plan created in 2010. Smith, whose his tenure at the Illinois State Board of

Education began May 1 after Rauner recommended him for the job of state school superintendent, by law was placed in the lower-tiered pension plan, along with most educators hired after Jan. 1, 2011. The Tier II plan has lower benefits and stricter retirement rules than traditional systems. The exact amount of Smith’s stipend hasn’t been calculated, and won’t be until next spring, but it’s intended to match the retirement benefits his predecessor received as a member of the more generous Tier I plan of the Teachers’ Retirement System of the State of Illinois, according to State Board of Education spokesman Matt Vanover. “The board ... decided to structure the contract so that the payment to Dr. Smith would be the same amount as if he were a Tier 1 employee,” Vanover said in an email. Smith’s special stipend, which won’t be provided to any of his Tier II colleagues, came as a surprise to Steve

Grossman, president of the Skokie-based North Suburban Teachers Union as well as a member of the state’s Teacher Recruiting and Retention Task Force, which is examining the Tier II plan and its effects on the education workforce. Educators in the lower-tiered pension plan already “feel like they’re being treated as second-class citizens,” Grossman said. And they probably would feel the extra stipend for Smith is hypocritical, he said. “But they probably wouldn’t be surprised because of the way they’re used to being treated in Springfield.” Smith isn’t a licensed teacher or administrator. He’s the former superintendent in Oakland, California, where he didn’t need those credentials to lead the district. In Illinois, his contract continues through Jan. 31, 2019, and he will get a 3 percent salary increase each year, contingent on his performance rating.

number of enrollment counselors will still offer in-person help throughout the state, said Stephanie Altman of the Shriver National Center on Poverty Law, which has operated a technical assistance center for the enrollment counselors. “It worries us,” Altman said of the layoffs. “We do feel some assurance that the state is continuing some important aspects like the website.” She noted that many other states operate their exchanges out of state insurance departments. Under former Gov. Pat Quinn, the insurance exchange was run from the governor’s office.

In the first two years of enrollment, under Quinn’s Democratic administration, Illinois obtained federal grants that paid for $33 million and $25.6 million contracts with the St. Louis-based FleishmanHillard to promote insurance coverage. The federal government is allowing states to continue using unspent grant money, but exactly how much is still available in Illinois is unclear. Officials in Rauner’s office did not answer questions Thursday about how much is available to spend through the end of the year. Get Covered Illinois has been funded with

Nominee: Russia is biggest threat to U.S. By DEB RIECHMANN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Russia poses the world’s greatest threat to U.S. national security, President Barack Obama’s nominee to lead the military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff declared Thursday. The White House quickly distanced the president Marine f r o m t h a t Gen. Joseph blunt assess- Dunford ment. Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford told senators at his confirmation hearing, “If you want to talk about a nation that could pose an existential threat to the United States, I’d have to point to Russia. And if you look at their behavior, it’s nothing short of alarming.” The four-star general said there are other threats to the nation, which must be addressed in concert.

He pointed to China with its expanding military capability and presence in the Pacific, North Korea with its ballistic missile capability and Islamic State militants. But he said, “My assessment today ... is that Russia presents the greatest threat to our national security.” At the White House, press secretary Josh Earnest distanced Obama from the assessment, saying Dunford’s comments reflected his own view and not necessarily “the consensus analysis of the president’s national security team.” Yet Earnest said that much has changed since 2012, when Obama mocked his GOP opponent, Mitt Romney, for calling Russia the top U.S. geopolitical threat. Earnest said Russia’s destabilizing actions in Ukraine and “saber-rattling” over its nuclear program and military activities near borders with NATO allies have increased U.S. concerns.

federal grants under the health law, not state taxpayer dollars. “Consumers are still going to need a lot of help. Eliminating the majority of the staff raises a lot of questions about how consumers are going to connect with services and enrollment,” said Jennifer Koehler, an attorney who was executive director of Get Covered Illinois under Quinn and resigned the post in February. She now works as a consultant. Only three state leadership positions will remain in Get Covered Illinois, including Karin Zosel, a Rauner appointee who succeeded Koehler as executive director.

OBITUARIES KENNETH H. HARMET Born: Aug. 1, 1924 Died: June 21, 2015

Kenneth Herman Harmet, 90, passed away on June 21, 2015. He was born in Chicago on August 1, 1924 and raised in Oak Park. After graduating from Oak Park and River Forest High School, Ken joined the US Navy and fought in WW II in the Pacific theater aboard the USS Santa Fe (CL 60). The Santa Fe saw action in many battles, but is likely most remembered for pulling alongside the stricken carrier USS Franklin to aid survivors and fight fires. After his honorable discharge in 1946, Ken went back to school and received his Bachelors, Masters and PhD in Biological Science. After a brief stint as a high school teacher, Ken joined the faculty at Northern Illinois University, where he taught Biology and Plant Physiology for over 30 years. In his retirement years he and his wife traveled extensively and enjoyed country living. He is survived by his brothers, wife and children.

STATE BRIEFS Bill on community college again. After that, there’s a 9.9 percent interest rate starting severance goes to gov.

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois General Assembly has approved restricting severance packages for prematurely departing community college employees to no more than a year’s pay and benefits. The legislation now goes to the governor. It arose from the payment of $763,000 by the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn to end then-president Robert Breuder’s contract three years early. It also limits the length of contracts to three years. Republican state Rep. Jeanne Ives of Wheaton sponsored the legislation. It was met by derision from Democrats who claimed the GOP was reversing course on one of its strongly held beliefs – that local governments should be able to operate without interference from Springfield. The measure was approved 73-34.

Among millennial college graduates, 3.8 percent were unemployed in 2013 Unemployment rates

• JOBS

Continued from page A1

Unemployment among 25- to 32-year-olds with at least a bachelor’s degree: Millennials in 2013: 3.8 percent Generation Xers in 1995: 2.8 percent Later boomers in 1986: 2.3 percent Early boomers in 1979: 2.5 percent Silents in 1965: 1.4 percent

might not get to work in the field he studied, he said. “People aren’t going into the exact majors that they want because of how competitive it is,” Wilson said. “It’s just interesting to see what actually turns out.” Among millennial college graduates, 3.8 percent were unemployed in 2013, while only 2.5 percent of recent baby boomer college graduates could not find jobs in March 1979, Pew research shows. Paradoxically, the higher and more specialized a younger person’s degrees become, the harder it can be for them to find jobs. The kinds of work staffing agencies are able to employ people through generally don’t require a college education, said Megan Reynolds, branch manager of Agen-

cy Staffing, a Hampshire employment agency that serves people in DeKalb County. Although there are certainly positions available for people with a college education, local staffing agencies typically don’t employ overqualified workers because employers fear they will leave for a better position, she said. A college degree is still im-

portant, but a job seeker becomes more marketable with experience, Allen said. Allen has been working in career services for 10 years. More is being asked of today’s college graduates than in the past, including the expectation that they have some work experience when they enter the job market, she said. “At the sophomore level, we’re really looking at internships, but with even [college] freshmen, we’ll do job-shadow and things like that,” Allen said. “It’s something that is expanding. It’s exploding.” Since the end of the Great Recession in June 2009, Illinois has had a hard time keeping up with the rest of the nation in improving its employment rates. In April, the state still needed to create 18.3

percent more jobs to regain those lost during the recession, according to the IDES. Additionally, the average hourly wages of young workers have stagnated between about $16 and $18, according to the Economic Policy Institute. “I think that we have an incredibly outdated system that is fueled by people who still have the concept of the ’50s and ’70s, where you just had to get yourself a parttime job, and now you have enough money to pay your own way through college, and right then you get your degree and have so many prospects opening up – and the reality is, that’s dead,” Nordman said. “We, unfortunately, are not yet in a position as millennials to have the pow-

er to be able to change that thinking.” Nordman said he’s been fortunate to experience only two weeks of unemployment in the past 13 years. During his career, he has felt slighted being a young employee, he said. “I have worked as the No. 2 at a bunch of small companies, and the interesting part about it, especially at a younger age, is that being the No. 2 when you’re under 30 is not quite the same as being the No. 2 when you’re older,” Nordman said. “There are a lot of good ideas that could go really well, but ultimately are passed over because of the fact that ‘you don’t have the world experience necessary to back up those concepts.’ ” Based on how things are

going now, Nordman is glad he was able to start his own business and become his own boss, he said. “It is a system that is at best, broken, and at worst, causing a larger class divide that as we age will only make the population worse,” he said. If millennials are able to keep up with the changing times and remain in touch with their field, Allen believes things will look up for the young and unemployed, she said. “They tend to know ‘I’m better at this. I like this. This is the kind of area I’m going to excel in,’ ” Allen said. “I think there’s a bit of fearlessness in them. They’re willing to try new things; they’re willing to tackle things.”

Short-term budget plan approved on a 71-19 vote • RULING

Continued from page A1 approved on a 71-19 vote, would provide $2.3 billion to keep state machinery operating for a month while Democrats and Rauner continue trying to reach an agreement for the full year. GOP members objected to Democratic taunts they were “enablers” and “minions” doing the governor’s bidding. Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie, a Chicago Democrat, added the paycheck provision for all state employees. The previous version covered only emergency services. Currie was responding to the Cook County ruling and pressure from Republicans who introduced legislation to guarantee full-year salaries for all employees. Democrats buried that in a parliamentary move. Rauner said a temporary budget puts the state in the hole one month at a time “Voting to spend money the state doesn’t have is the cause of Illinois’ financial crisis,” spokesman Lance Trover said. Rep. Steven Andersson, a Geneva Republican, said the interim proposal didn’t push negotiations ahead and would actually hurt workers.

“We are being cruel,” Andersson said. “We’re being cruel to them because what we’re saying is there’s hope and the reality is, we’re just kicking the can for 30 days.” The plan faces other challenges. The Senate, returning to Springfield next week, must concur on the paycheck provision. And it expires Aug. 1, so if it reaches the Republican governor’s desk, “He’d better hurry,” Currie said. Rauner’s office did not respond to an assertion by House Speaker Michael Madigan, a target of Rauner budget bile, that the governor’s aides have failed to make their case for his agenda to lawmakers. The Chicago Democrat produced a list of seven dates beginning June 4 on which Rauner’s office declined committee-hearing invitations – an example, he said, of how the governor is not being “reasonable” or acting in “moderation.” “It’s not reasonable for an executive department anywhere in America to decline to participate in legislative hearings,” Madigan said. “We’re going to continue to provide an opportunity to the Rauner administration to participate in our three-part government here in Illinois.”

Residents will be able to review plan in September • DEKALB

Continued from page A1 “This is the first time the city has embarked on a strategic plan and ultimately ties into our agreement with the Center for Governmental Studies,” City Manager Anne Marie Gaura said. “Our goal is to get feedback and input from

the community. … Basically, what do they want to see and where are the areas for improvement.” The public will be able to review and comment on the strategic plan in September before a final draft goes to the City Council. The end result will be a 10-year vision for the city and will include shorter-term goals to move forward.

Woman shot at pier fuels immigration debate tion Reform, which advocates for tighter immigration controls, said his organization has been doing six or seven media interviews a day on the killing since the news broke last week. “You have someone who has been repeatedly deported,” he said. “In the end, it so clearly Juan illustrates the Francisco complete break- Lopez down of the sys- Sanchez tem.” Steinle, 32 of San Francisco, was gunned down July 1 while walking along a city pier with her father. After Sanchez, whom authorities have identified as 45-year-old Mexico native, was arrested it was revealed he had seven felony convictions related to drugs and repeated illegal entries into the country. It also became clear that the San

The ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO – Kathryn Steinle, a medical device saleswoman who loved travel and dance, is the newest symbol for those seeking stricter immigration enforcement. They point to her death, from a gun prosecutors say was fired by a Mexican man in the country illegally after five deportations, as heart-wrenching evidence of the need for tighter border controls. The story is burning up conservative talk radio, with hosts and callers lamenting the senselessness of the seemingly random killing, expressing anger that Juan Francisco Lopez Sanchez still was in the country and consternation that San Francisco authorities had rejected a request by federal immigration authorities to hold him until they could take him into custody. Daniel Stein, president of the Federation for Immigra-

Francisco Sheriff’s Office, citing city policy on immigrants with no violent criminal background, released Sanchez in April despite a federal immigration request that they hold him until U.S. authorities could take him into custody for deportation proceedings. Critics across the country have slammed San Francisco as a too-liberal “sanctuary” city that provides a haven for criminal immigrants. Some are calling for a “Kate Steinle’s Law” to enhance enforcement. Jesse Watters, a correspondent with Bill O’Reilly’s Fox News show, showed up at the San Francisco Board of Supervisors meeting this week and held up a photo of a smiling Steinle. “I’m not saying you pulled the trigger, but you’re partially responsible. Her last words were, ‘Help me. Help me.’ Why aren’t you guys helping her?” he asked. Immigration rights advo-

cates said that Sanchez is a rare exception to the millions of people who are in the country illegally but live lawful lives while here. They say that “sanctuary” cities like San Francisco seek to build trust within that community, and that helps public safety. “Every time I talk about this, I feel so sad and so much loss for this obviously beautiful young woman,” said Julia Harumi Mass, a senior attor-

ney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California. “But it’s really important that we also recognize this is a terrible tragedy, one that would have been difficult to foresee almost, it seems.” Laura Polstein, an attorney with Centro Legal de la Raza, echoed a statement made by many advocates of sanctuary protections: “The actions of one person should not be used to stereotype or criminalize the

immigrant communities that are part of the fabric of our city and state.” In a jailhouse interview with a news reporter, Sanchez said he is 56 years old and from Guanajuato, a picturesque town about a four-hour drive northwest of Mexico City. He said he found a gun under a bench and that it fired accidentally. Police have said the gun was reported stolen by a federal Bureau of Land Management agent.

OUR VIEW

Combating abuse, neglect of our seniors

Dear Texas: What are you afraid of now? Well, there you go again, Texas, making me wish we still had your Molly Ivins around to make sense of you. As the late, great columnist once so wisely explained, “Many a time freedom has been rolled back -- and always for the same reason: fear.” I took that to heart while reading a boatload of coverage about your elected state school board’s latest effort to indoctrinate its students with the kind of misinformation that’s going to make them the butt of an awful lot of jokes. This time, you want your children to graduate from high school thinking slavery had nothing to do with the Civil War. Dear Texas: What are you afraid of now? We know you’re scared of your women, because you keep trying to eliminate their constitutional right to an abortion. The U.S. Supreme Court put a stop to that stunt, at least for now. We know you’re scared of progress, too, because you execute more people than any other state in the country. By the way, I’m wearing my favorite T-shirt right now, the one that reads: “I’ll Believe Corporations Are People When Texas Executes One.” Members of my late father’s union, Local 271 of the Utility Workers of America, gave me that T-shirt. Holy sweet tea, there’s another thing you’re afraid of: unions. Can’t have workers negotiating for wages and benefits in Texas. They might make a living wage. And now, it looks like you’re afraid of your own history. As The Washington Post’s Emma Brown reported, this fall Texas students will have brand-new textbooks that cast slavery as a “side issue” of the Civil War. The books don’t even mention Jim Crow laws or the Ku Klux Klan. Students will read Jefferson Davis’ inaugural address as president of the Confed-

VIEWS Connie Schultz erate States of America, in which he didn’t mention slavery. But students won’t be required to read that famous speech by Davis’ vice-president, Alexander Stephens, “in which he explained that the South’s desire to preserve slavery was the cornerstone of its new government and ‘the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution.’ ” You see what Stephens did there? Of course you do, which is why he is now Texas’ least popular politician of the Civil War. Next to Abraham Lincoln, I mean. He made the cut for the new book, right? Please say yes. In 1949, historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. rebutted claims of an earlier generation of revisionists in an essay titled, “The Causes of the Civil War: A Note on Historical Sentimentalism.” He included the essay in his 1963 book, “The Politics of Hope,” which I pulled off our bookshelf and discovered to be packed with observations about America that are as relevant today – jarringly so – as they were more than five decades ago. Schlesinger took on the revisionist argument that slavery had little, if anything, to do with the Civil War. The revisionists’ claim is best summarized as follows: “See now, there you go, misunderstanding what was happening in the South. Why, we were this close to freeing the slaves before Lincoln showed up with his uppity self.” Schlesinger’s response, in part: “To reject the moral actuality of the Civil War is to foreclose the possibility of an adequate account of its causes. More than that, it is to misconceive and grotesquely to sentimentalize the nature of history. ... Nothing

exists in history to assure us that the great moral dilemmas can be resolved without pain; we cannot therefore be relieved from the duty of moral judgment on issues so appalling and inescapable as those involved in human slavery; nor can we be consoled by sentimental theories about the needlessness of the Civil War into regarding our own struggles against evil as equally needless.” We must live with our mistakes. How else are we going to learn from them? Texas, you go ahead and try to poison the minds of your children, but this version of history won’t fool the independent thinkers among them. As anyone who has raised or taught teenagers knows, they are a challenging age. Not only do they see through our hypocrisy; they call us out on it, too. So annoying, those wicked-smart youngsters. You can always lure a few suckers when you pander to those who cherish the myths of history more than the truths of its legacy. But we’re talking five million students, and I know from my many visits to your state that you’re not nearly as monolithic as your right-wingers want us Northerners to believe. Molly Ivins knew that, too – and long before the Internet made it so easy for kids to be kids, with their questioning ways. “I believe all Southern liberals come from the same starting point – race,” she wrote. “Once you figure out they are lying to you about race, you start to question everything.” Rip open the chips and pass the chile con queso. I don’t want to miss a minute of this showdown.

A Willie Horton for the 2016 campaign? By PAUL WALDMAN The Washington Post Is Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez the new Willie Horton? There are some people who would obviously like him to be. The story, which is about an undocumented immigrant who, after having been released from jail, was accused of killing a young woman in San Francisco named Kathryn Steinle, has gone national, and it’s working its way into the presidential campaign. The way the candidates deal with it (or don’t) will tell us a lot about the state of immigration politics today. It’s important to understand that there’s no consensus even on the political right about how much attention to give to Lopez-Sanchez’s case. Most of the Republican candidates are treading carefully.

Yet conservative talk radio and Fox News are practically vibrating with delight over this story. When I checked the network’s Web site Wednesday, it was the subject not only of the main screaming headline but also of five other written articles and four videos, with more coming all the time. What does this one case tell us about crime in the United States and our immigration policies? The real answer is not much, because one case is always just one case. We know that as a group, immigrants are much less likely to commit crimes than native-born Americans. Although the case illustrates an extreme negative consequence that can come from a sanctuary city policy, police in cities with sanctuary policies often argue that they help fight crime by allowing residents of immigrant

communities to work with law enforcement without the fear that they’ll be turned over to immigration authorities. Nevertheless, we’re always looking for individual stories through which we can understand larger issues, and those stories can be used for good or ill. For instance, the case of Ryan White, an Indiana teenager who contracted HIV in 1984, taught the country that AIDS wasn’t just a disease of people who (at the time) were on the fringes of society; after his death in 1990, Congress passed a bill expanding funding for AIDS research and treatment in his name. Then there are stories like Horton’s, which was supposedly about criminal justice policies but was actually just a way for George H.W. Bush to stir up racist fears among white voters in the 1988 election.

If Republican candidates are treading more carefully with regard to this story, it isn’t just because the two cases are different – it’s because there’s serious political danger in trying to make Lopez-Sanchez a reason people should vote against Democrats. Bush’s use of Horton worked by resonating with white voters and didn’t produce any noticeable backlash. But if someone tried to make Lopez-Sanchez the new Horton – a symbol of fear meant to get whites to vote for the GOP – he would undermine the party’s efforts to convince Hispanic voters that whatever the party’s history on immigration reform, it isn’t blatantly hostile to them.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

We support a bill in Springfield that would allow for video and audio monitoring devices in nursing home rooms to help combat and prove abuse. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office said Illinois has more than 860 nursing homes with more than 76,000 residents. Those numbers likely will increase as the state’s population ages. As a For the record result, the roughly 5,000 complaints filed each Allowing residents to install year alleging abuse, audio or recording devices neglect or theft of propin their nursing home rooms erty by nursing home should help deter abuse of staff also are likely to nursing home residents. increase. The Illinois Department of Public Health found 106 allegations to be valid in 2013. Allowing residents to install audio or recording devices in their nursing home rooms should help deter abuse of nursing home residents. It also should help prove incidents of abuse, neglect or theft that might have been swept aside in the past because of a lack of evidence. One key part of the bill makes it fair and not an invasion of personal privacy: All residents in a room would have to approve the installation of a camera. If one resident wants a camera installed but a roommate does not, then it will not be installed. The legislation, House Bill 2462, also prohibits a nursing home from retaliating against anyone for using the devices. Three other states allow for the use of audio and recording devices in nursing home rooms. The bill is awaiting a signature from Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner. We urge Rauner to follow suit and sign this piece of legislation that would help fight abuse, neglect and theft in Illinois nursing homes.

ANOTHER VIEW

Vindication for Cosby’s accusers When a string of women went public last year with allegations that Bill Cosby had drugged and sexually assaulted them years or even decades earlier, his attorney called the stories “unsubstantiated” and “fantastical” and questioned their motives. His wife suggested it was the legendary comedian who was the real victim and faulted the media for not properly vetting the accusations. “Reality is the situation. And I can’t speak,” was Cosby’s comment in May when he finally broke his months-long silence. We don’t know what Cosby and his defenders were thinking when they made those representations, but it’s a good guess they didn’t think they ran the risk of being impeached by Cosby’s own words. So thanks to The Associated Press and a judge who values the public interest for bringing to light information about a case that has come to typify some of the important issues surrounding rape and other sexual violence. Excerpts of a deposition given by Cosby in a 2005 civil sexual abuse case filed by a Philadelphia woman and settled under confidential terms were unsealed Monday. His admissions under oath – of securing drugs with the intent of giving them to young women he wanted to have sex with and of giving a sedative to at least one woman and “other people” – appear to support the claims of more than two dozen women that Cosby secretly drugged and assaulted them in incidents that date to the late 1960s. Little wonder that there was no immediate comment from Cosby since, as his attorney argued in an unsuccessful effort to keep the documents sealed, “it would be terribly embarrassing for this material to come out.” U.S. District Judge Eduardo Robreno was right to rule that potential embarrassment insufficient. “The stark contrast between Bill Cosby, the public moralist and Bill Cosby, the subject of serious allegations concerning improper (and perhaps criminal) conduct, is a matter as to which the AP – and by extension the public – has a significant interest,” the judge wrote in a stinging rebuke. Cosby, now 77 and perhaps best known for his TV portrayal of model father Cliff Huxtable, was never charged with a crime; while the statute of limitations on most of the alleged incidents has expired, Los Angeles police said there is an investigation underway. Defamation suits are pending from women who said they were harmed when Cosby’s representatives accused them of lying. There’s something terribly wrong with the fact that it has taken so long for the allegations of these women to be taken seriously. That their accounts – so numerous and troublingly similar in the telling – have now been supported should encourage future victims to come forward in the expectation that they will be believed.

Barbs host 5-school passing scrimmage By JESSE SEVERSON jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – During a 7-on-7 scrimmage Thursday against Geneva, DeKalb senior receiver Tony Tate ran a wheel route down the left sideline and Barbs’ quarterback Derek Kyler hit Tate in stride for a long touchdown. It’s a sight that the Barbs hope to see during the regular season. “We’re definitely building on the things that we worked on last week and the other 7-on-7,” Tate said. “It’s good practice for our passing attack and to work on the little things. We definitely improved today.” DeKalb hosted a five-team passing scrimmage – the other teams were South Elgin, Rockford Boylan, Geneva and Marmion Academy, a team the Barbs beat, 21-20, in the first round of the Class 6A state playoffs last season. The Barbs will host seven different teams next Thursday afternoon, including Kaneland and Sterling. “I don’t look at the wins and the losses – if we scored more or they scored more,” said DeKalb coach Matt Weckler, who is coming into his third year as the coach. “I don’t put a lot into that. What I’m looking at is how crisp we’re doing things.” Weckler isn’t the only one who doesn’t put a lot of stock in the results during the scrimmages.

Running back Michael Turner headlines the list of seven new inductees into Northern Illinois Athletics’ Hall of Fame the school released Thursday. The other inductees are volleyball coach Lou Jean Moyer, gymnast Sandy Menard, basketball player Charmonique Stallworth, football player Bob Gregolunas, and wrestlers Ben Heizer and Scott Owen. “I am excited to announce the 2015 NIU Athletics Hall of Fame Class,” said Rodney Davis, chairman of the NIU Athletics Hall of Fame selection committee and a 2007 hall of fame inductee. “These inductees join a host of extraordinary hall of fame members who have

contributed significantly to the advancement of Huskies Athletics. The hall of fame committee went through the grueling process of finding our top former student-athletes and we are thrilled to have come up with this group. Please come out and join us on this special night. This will surely be an event to remember.” The 2015 class will be inducted Oct. 9 as part of the Huskies’ homecoming weekend. Turner is the career leader with 6,038 all-purpose yards and is second in school history with 4,941 rushing yards. He was drafted by the Chargers in 2004 and was a two-time Pro Bowl player with the Atlanta Falcons.

It’s just not realistic.” Weckler said he thought the Barbs made several improvements from last week’s passing scrimmage – praising Kyler’s passing and the performance of senior free safety Taylor Geiseman. “For us, we use this to help us in-

stall and refine what we do,” Weckler said. “I think we did pretty well. I think Derek threw the ball pretty well, and our receivers caught the balls we should have caught.” The Barbs are coming off a 9-2 season in which they won their first conference championship since 1989.

BULLS

Butler: He, Rose play well together By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com

AP file photo

Bulls guard Jimmy Butler fights for the ball with Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (left) and Magic guard Victor Oladipo during the first half Feb. 8 in Orlando, Fla. The Bulls signed Butler to a new five-year contract Thursday.

CHICAGO – Now $90 million richer after signing his new fiveyear deal, surely Jimmy Butler would use his Thursday news conference to bend over backwards and do complete damage control on the all the speculation that he and teammate Derrick Rose might have a problem on deciding who the alpha male of the team will be moving forward. Or not.

“I think we play well on the court together,” Butler said, when asked to describe the relationship between the two on and off the court. “With the more time that we’re out there we’ll definitely get better at it. Off the floor, I mean he has a son, so he has a family that he has to take care of. I’m with my brothers a lot of the time, but I mean when we have a chance we’ll hang around each other, but I feel like we spend enough time together on the court. I think when you’re off the court then you go

your separate ways a little bit.” The problem for the Bulls was at times the two seemed to be going separate ways on the court, with the most glaring example coming in the Game 6 elimination against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Butler looked like he was in attack mode, wanting the offense to go through him late in that game. Rose appeared to be in

SPORTS BRIEF Ex-49er McDonald faces mutiple charges

SAN FRANCISCO – Former San Francisco 49er defensive tackle Ray McDonald was charged with domestic violence and false imprisonment in connection with allegations he assaulted his ex-fiancee while she held their 2-monthold child, prosecutors said Thursday. McDonald was also charged with child endangerment and violating a court order, the Santa Clara County district attorney’s office said. The false imprisonment charge is a felony while the other counts are misdemeanors. He was arraigned Thursday but did not enter a plea. He is due back in court in August. Calls to McDonald’s attorney, Steve Defilippis, were not immediately returned. Prosecutors said police responded to a domestic disturbance at a home around 4 a.m. May 25 and found McDonald had broken into the woman’s bedroom and assaulted her while his driver tried to stop him and she tried to get away. McDonald cornered the woman in a dining room and trapped her there before she told investigators he chased her into a bathroom and repeatedly bumped her while trying to grab her cellphone, according to investigators. It continued in the bedroom, where the woman said McDonald jabbed at her head with a finger and tried to pull her off the bed. Part of the incident was caught on cellphone video the woman took. – Wire report

WHITE SOX 2, BLUE JAY 0

Samardzija keeps Sox on roll By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Jeff Samardzija sure was great at whatever he was doing. The White Sox right-hander, who pitched a complete game shutout against one of baseball’s best hitting teams Thursday, was either enhancing his trade value for his employer or nudging his team closer to a point where the Sox won’t deal him before the July 31 trade deadline. The Sox’s 2-0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on a sunny, cool-for-July day before 23,298 fans at U.S. Cellular Field gave them seven wins in nine games and three wins in a four-game series. The Sox are 39-44 going into a three-game series against the well-equipped Cubs at Wrigley Field, and have to stay hot – real hot – to keep general manager Rick Hahn from turning into a seller. The dozen or so scouts on hand from teams looking to buy before the deadline no doubt filled out glowing reports on Samardzija, who flirted with a no-hitter, allowed four hits and struck out five while walking one. Samardzija started strong by striking out the side in the first, didn’t allow a hit until the sixth and finished by getting Josh Donaldson to hit into a double play and striking out Jose Bautista. His ERA is 2.40 over his last six starts. Samardzija, who is eligible for free agency after the season, knows the drill. He got traded to the A’s by the non-contending Cubs last year for prospects. “I assume we’re going to handle everything in the clubhouse,” he said. “If we go out and play, we know what the outcome will be. If we don’t and we don’t have a strong last couple of weeks in the month, we know what that result will be, too. It’s

White Sox starting pitcher Jeff Samardzija celebrates throwing a complete-game victory against the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday at U.S. Cellular Field. The Sox won, 2-0.

Next at Cubs, 3:05 p.m. today, CSN,WGN, AM-670, AM-780 in our hands here and we need to take care of it.” The Sox’s poor hitting and defense in the first half has them marked in the minority group of sellers as the deadline approaches. With good pitching, improved defense and just enough timely hitting of late, though, they are finally winning at the kind of clip they expected when Hahn and vice president Ken Williams put this team together. Is it too late? Probably. But a favorable trend has provided a glimmer of hope that all optimists will embrace. “You like it because of who you’re [beating],” Sox manag-

er Robin Ventura said. “You’re playing some of the top teams. Starting with St. Louis [twogame road sweep last week] we played some good baseball and gritty stuff where we scored late. With Toronto’s lineup, you pitch well and play well defensively and get three of four, which is nice. They’re [the players] feeling good. You like the feel of it now.” So it would be tough to see Samardzija yanked from a rotation that is clicking with Chris Sale, Jose Quintana and Carlos Rodon. “For us to lose a frontline pitcher, it would be tough, absolutely,” Ventura said. The Sox scrounged together five hits against R.A. Dickey (310), whose knuckler was on, but Samardzija’s frontline effort and crisp defense were enough. Adam Eaton tripled leading off the sixth and scored on Russell Martin’s passed ball. Two

batters later, Melky Cabrera homered to extend his hitting streak to eight (.379, two homers, eight RBIs during that stretch). Gordon Beckham (0 for 3), in a horrendous 5-for-67 slump over his last 27 games, made one diving stop at shortstop (filling in for injured Alexei Ramirez) and turned a slick double play in the ninth. Second baseman Carlos Sanchez (.170) also made pretty play behind the bag as the Sox continue glean the most from what little they have. Samardzija is certainly a valuable piece, no matter how he’s utilized. “Yeah, they’ve got a couple pieces that could be leaving next year,” Toronto manger John Gibbons said. “That’s one of those things. “Samardzija. Yeah. We’d love to have him. He’s more than just a good pitcher. He brings a toughness.”

NBA

Jordan’s 180 has some doubting freeze By TIM REYNOLDS and BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press Doc Rivers gave a quick answer when asked about DeAndre Jordan coming back to the Los Angeles Clippers. “He never left,” the coach said. Technically, that’s true. The Dallas Mavericks might disagree as they reel from the fallout of Jordan’s Texas twostep, which renewed the debate about when a deal is a deal, and whether change is needed to the NBA’s moratorium period. “From afar, it’s a little bit concerning from a team perspective just because of the precedent. You’d like to think when you look somebody in the eye and shake their hand and say, ‘We have a deal,’ that you have a deal,” Suns general manager Ryan McDonough said Thursday. “But at the same time, you understand that the way the rules are written from the current moratorium structure, the agreements aren’t binding until the player puts pen to paper and signs a contract.” The moratorium, starting July 1 and lasting until the salary cap is set for the coming season, could be a hot topic now at NBA meetings in Las Vegas next week.

Hey, could be worse. It lasted all of July when first implemented in 1999. “Everybody realizes it’s something that has to be looked at,” Brooklyn general manager Billy King said. Jordan formally re-signed with the Clippers on Thursday, ending one of the strangest sagas in recent free-agent history. He verbally committed to

the Mavericks on July 3, then a Clippers contingent arrived at his Houston home Wednesday for what apparently was a lastditch push to keep him, and the Mavericks lost their man. A handshake deal, in this case, was no deal. “We all walk into these conversations understanding that as with any business contract, it’s not a deal until the paper is signed,” union spokeswoman Tara Greco said. Dallas owner Mark Cuban was predictably unhappy. He got fined $25,000 by the NBA ear-

lier in the week for raving about what Jordan would mean to the Mavericks – he violated a rule of the moratorium by talking about a player who wasn’t under contract – then wound up not getting the deal signed. Cuban turned to social media to vent, never mentioning Jordan by name. “I don’t think the time is right to say anything beyond the facts that he never responded to me at all yesterday,” Cuban wrote on the Cyber Dust messaging app. “Not once. To this minute I have not heard anything from him since Tuesday night.” That was one of the biggest talking points around the league Thursday: It wasn’t so much that Jordan changed his mind, but apparently no one actually told the Mavericks when the rest of the NBA world seemed to be following it in real time on Twitter. Rivers flatly said “no” when asked if Jordan should have told Dallas of his change of heart. Not everyone agreed. “I don’t see anything wrong with changing your mind, but you need to be a man and just tell them why you decided,” Miami guard Goran Dragic told The Associated Press. It’s impossible to say how much of a domino effect Jordan’s last-minute flip affected free agency for other franchises and players.

Butler, GM Gar Forman practice damage control • BULLS

Continued from page B1 shutdown-mode, more anxious to get on the exercise bike than deal with Matthew Dellavedova. Not that a collision of egos by the two wasn’t expected. Sources indicated in training camp that Bulls personnel were concerned Butler’s attitude was this was becoming his team, while Rose wasn’t looking to hand that torch over to anyone. While the two have always maintained a friendly enough relationship

off the court, come playoff time Butler wasn’t about to concede key shots to anyone. That included the hometown kid in Rose. And now that Butler has a tax bracket much closer to Rose’s? New coach Fred Hoiberg better hope that his high-octane offense has enough shots in it to keep everyone happy. If so, Butler feels like the best backcourt in the NBA just might reside in the United Center. “I think we can play well off of each other well, especially with the offense that we’re go-

ing to be running now,” Butler said. “We can both get out in transition, we can both score, and we can both get the ball to the open guy. I think that’s what team players do. [Rose is] really good at that. I think I’m pretty good at it too. I like our chances of being one of the best backcourts.” What Butler and general manager Gar Forman did go out of their way to do damage control with was the idea that Butler wanted to play hardball with the Bulls once the season ended, looking for a shortterm deal so he could hit the open market sooner.

Sources continued to stand by that idea, but after betting on himself by walking away from $40 million plus in the fall, doing it again for $90 million was leaving too many chips on the table. “No short-term offer ever came across the table,” Butler said. “Chicago is where I wanted to be. I love playing here, I love the city, the fans like me a little bit. I think the media does. You all won’t like me all the time, I understand, that’s OK. “Rumors are rumors. I guess that’s what they’re there for, to entertain you all.”

CYCLING THE TOUR DE FRANCE LE HAVRE, France (AP) – A brief look at the sixth stage of the Tour de France on Thursday: Stage: A mostly flat stage for sprinters, taking the pack over 119 miles from Abbeville to Le Havre, France’s biggest commercial port. Winner: Czech rider Zdenek Stybar, after defending champion Vincenzo Nibali was caught in yet another crash near the finish caused by race leader Tony Martin, who pulled out of the race with a broken collarbone. Yellow jersey: Chris Froome, who inherited the lead because of Tony Martin’s withdrawal. Froome, who has a 13-second lead over American Tejay van Garderen, could decide not to wear the coveted shirt in Stage 7 as a mark of respect for the injured German rider. How did the “Fab Four” perform? Defending champion Vincenzo Nibali and Nairo Quintana hit the tarmac after getting involved in the crash but did not suffer any serious injury. Chris Froome leads Alberto Contador by 36 seconds, Nibali is 1 minute, 38 seconds adrift and Nairo Quintana lags 1:56 behind. Quote of the day: “It’s the Tour de France; it’s just crazy, crazy. You don’t know what will happen around each corner.” – stage winner Zdenek Stybar. Stat of the day: 2 – The number of Tour de France leaders – Fabian Cancellara and Tony Martin – who have pulled out with injuries after just six days of racing. Next stage: Friday’s seventh stage is another for sprinters. It starts from Livarot in the Normandy region – home to a cheese of the same name – and ends 118 miles later in Fougeres, in the Brittany region.

Menard is the only Huskies gymnast to earn a bid to the NCAA Championships. Her 9.925 on the vault in 1996 remains a school record. Stallworth is the 13th leading scorer in the women’s basketball history, scoring 1,415 for her career, which ended in 1996. She holds the school record with 19 field goals in a game against Milwaukee on March 2, 1996. She scored 40 that game, one away from the school record. Her 23.1 points per game that season is the second-best single-season showing in program history. Gregolunas is the only Huskie to lead NIU in passing and tackling in two separate seasons. After playing. quarterback, he switched to linebacker for his senior year in 1975. He was the first player in program history to be named to the Mid-American Conference first team and was drafted in 1976 by the Chiefs. Moyer was the Huskies’ first volleyball coach, leading the team to a 75-43 record from 1970 to ’74. She served as the chairwoman of the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women and was on the AIAW executive board. Heizer and Owen were teammates for a couple of years, with Heizer winning three MAC titles and trips to the NCAA tournaments in 2002 to ’04. He was sixth at nationals in his final year, going 30-2. Owen was a four-time national championship qualifier (1999, 2001 to ’03) and was fifth in his final two years. He and Heizer helped the Huskies take second in the MAC in 2002-03.

While it was one of the best teams in school history, the Barbs lost star running back Dre Brown to graduation. “Definitely a little more passing this year,” Kyler said. “We’re not going to be primarily passing, but we’ll definitely be more passing. Dre was a horse, but our offense looks explosive and our defense is improving.” While Weckler, who said he believes the Northern Illinois Big 12 East will be stronger in 2015, said it’s possible that Kyler will throw more than the “12 to 15 times” he did a year ago. “I think with our personnel, looking on paper, that’s what you’d think because you’re not going to replace a running talent like him,” Weckler said. “However, I think with the guys that we have, we’re still going to run the ball a lot – it might just be spread out between two, three or four guys.” For Tate, he said he isn’t ready to concede that the Barbs will drop off from the highly successful season a year ago. “It’s been a chance to build on the things we set last year,” he said of the summer workouts, “so we can maintain that name we established in the conference and throughout Illinois.”

Thursday in London

By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press

LONDON – Her game in high gear, history in the offing, Serena Williams is perfectly content to let everyone else talk about what a victory in the Wimbledon final would mean. A “Serena Slam” of four consecutive major titles. The third leg of a calendar-year Grand Slam. A 21st major singles trophy, one short of the Open-era record. For now, the No. 1-seeded Williams is keeping her thoughts to herself, declaring she won’t entertain questions about those topics, even after easily dismissing No. 4 Maria Sharapova, 6-2, 6-4, in the semifinals at the All England Club on Thursday to close in on the milestones. “I don’t want the pressure of that, and I’m not thinking of that. When you talk about it every time, you can’t help but think about it,” Williams said. “It’s been OK just to free my brain from that.” Whatever works. Clearly, Williams is doing plenty right at the moment. Particularly against Sharapova, whom she’s beaten 17 times in a row. Williams hit 13 aces, reaching 123 mph. Fewer than half her serves were put in play. She never faced a break point and was pushed to deuce only once on her serve. She had a 29-9 edge in winners. In sum, Williams made Sharapova look like some sort of middle-of-the-pack wannabe, rather than the fivetime major champion, career Grand Slam owner and former

Serena Williams shouts during her 6-2, 6-4 victory over Maria Sharapova in a Wimbledon singles semifinal match Thursday in London. No. 1 that she is. “Nothing to do with Sharapova,” said Williams’ coach, Patrick Mouratoglou. “She does this to most of the top 10 players. It’s true. She’s dominating the game for a long time.” Williams beat her sister Venus in the fourth round and another past No. 1 and multiple major winner, Victoria Azarenka, in the quarterfinals. On Saturday, with so much at stake, Williams will face No. 20 Garbine Muguruza of Spain, who advanced to her first Grand Slam final by eliminating No. 13 Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3. “If you want to win a Grand Slam, when you dream, you say, ‘I want Serena in the final,’ ” the 21-year-old Mugu-

ruza said. “She’s like one of the best players in all these years.” One of? Five women have won four consecutive Grand Slam tournaments – and Williams already is among that group, having done it from 2002-03. Only three have pulled off a true Grand Slam, winning all four majors in a single season; Steffi Graf was the last, in 1988. If Williams can beat Muguruza, the 33-year-old American would head to the U.S. Open in August with a shot at that feat. Under a cloudless sky at Centre Court on Thursday, it was quickly clear Williams’ semifinal wouldn’t last long. At age 17, Sharapova beat Williams twice in 2004, including

in the Wimbledon final – and hasn’t defeated her since. In the opening game, Sharapova double-faulted three times and got broken. More ominously, the first four points that lasted at least six strokes ended with errors by Sharapova. If she couldn’t serve well, and couldn’t stay with Williams once the ball was in play, Sharapova was in trouble. Asked what she needs to do to be competitive against Williams, Sharapova responded: “A lot more than I’m doing.” Radwanska, the runner-up to five-time Wimbledon champion Williams in 2012, used a six-game run to make things close against the hard-hitting Muguruza.

The Associated Press Ken Stabler, who led the Oakland Raiders to a Super Bowl victory and was the NFL’s Most Valuable Player in 1974, has died as a result of complications from colon cancer. He was 69. His family announced his death on Stabler’s Facebook page Thursday. The statement said Stabler “passed peacefully” Wednesday while surrounded by family, including his three daughters and longtime partner, who wasn’t named. Raiders owner Mark Davis said the team was “deepKen Stabler ly saddened by the passing of the great Ken Stabler.” “He was a cherished member of the Raider family and personified what it means to be a Raider,” Davis said in a statement. “He wore the Silver and Black with Pride and Poise and will continue to live in the hearts of Raider fans everywhere. Our sincerest thoughts and prayers go out to Kenny’s family.” Stabler’s coach with the Raiders, John Madden, said his former quarterback was cool under pressure. “I’ve often said, if I had one drive to win a game to this day, and I had a quarterback to pick, I would pick Kenny,” Madden said. “Snake was a lot cooler than I was. He was a perfect quarterback and a perfect Raider. When you think about the Raiders you think about Ken Stabler. Kenny loved life. It is a sad day for all Raiders.”

4 ADVICE & PUZZLES • Friday, July 10, 2015 • Section B • Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

Mom regrets staying in abusive marriage too long Dear Abby: How do I forgive myself for staying with my husband “for the sake of the kids” and because I was afraid of him? Our children are teenagers now and both suffer from low self-esteem and depression. We lived far away from any family while they were growing up, and I was financially dependent and scared. I realize now it wasn’t the right thing to do. My husband is trying to do better, but the damage is done. The relationship between our children and their dad is very strained. I don’t know how to move forward. Any advice? – In Pain In Wisconsin Dear In Pain: A way for your

children to heal some of the damage your husband has caused would be for you to arrange for them to talk with a

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips licensed family counselor. A way for you to move forward would be to find a job, take your kids and live apart from your abuser. If you haven’t already done that, and you are still afraid he might be violent, then you should contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline. org, 800-799-7233) and ask for help in formulating an escape plan. Dear Abby: Because I’m unemployed, I am living with my parents. I am 40, but my mother treats me as if I am an 8-year-old boy. Among other things, she forbids me to leave

the house without her permission and considers my room to be a mess she must clean if even a single book is out of place on my desk. I believe my mother has obsessive-compulsive disorder. I have told her this and recommended she get herself evaluated. She refuses to listen, even after I gave her a month’s worth of examples illustrating which of her actions meet the criteria. I want to remain sane as I try to find employment and a way out of her house. Have you any suggestions? – Going Mad

In South Dakota Dear Going Mad: As an adult, you should not have to ask anyone’s permission to leave the house. It’s time for a manto-man talk with your father. What does he think of this?

Has your mother always been this way? While you’re talking with him, bring up the fact she is showing signs of OCD and see if he can convince her to be evaluated. If she does have it, there are treatments for it and it might greatly benefit their marriage, as well as your relationship with your mother. Dear Abby: My two sons are 30 and 31. Both are married with families of their own. My husband has been their stepdad for 20 years, and a very good one. Neither of my boys ever remembers their stepdad on his birthday. When I ask why, they say, “Oh, Mom, I’m really bad at remembering stuff like that.” This year I intend to “forget” their birthdays so they – and their wives – will know how it feels to be forgot-

ten. Do you think I’m being petty? I think that at their ages, it’s time they took responsibility for themselves. – On Their

Case In Oklahoma Dear On Their Case: I have

a better idea. Ask your sons to program your husband’s birthday into their electronic devices. With today’s technology it is easier than ever to get a reminder about important events. Their wives might thank you for it, because if the “boys” forget their stepdad’s birthday, there’s a good chance they forget other important days – like their anniversaries or their wives’ birthdays, too.

Angioplasty not the answer for those with mini-strokes Dear Dr. K: My wife had a mini-stroke. The doctor said she has a narrowed artery in her brain. Can’t the doctor open it up with angioplasty, as he would if she had a narrowed heart artery? Dear Reader: “Mini-stroke” is another name for a transient ischemic attack, or TIA. A TIA causes stroke symptoms – such as sudden weakness on one side of the body, blurred vision or difficulty speaking – that last 10 minutes or more, but less than 24 hours. A TIA is a warning sign of an impending stroke. Four to 10 percent of people who have a TIA will go on to have a full-blown stroke. Both mini-strokes and fullfledged strokes usually are caused by narrowed arteries in the brain. The underlying

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff cause is the same as it is for artery blockages in the heart. It’s atherosclerosis – fatty deposits that enlarge and become plaques. If a plaque ruptures, a clot may grow to obstruct the artery. Or, a blood clot may form elsewhere in the body, travel to the brain, then lodge in a part of the artery that is narrowed by plaque. Balloon angioplasty has a successful track record in opening arteries in the heart. In this procedure, a catheter with a deflated balloon at the tip is threaded into the narrowed artery. The balloon then inflates to open up the

blockage. Often, a wire mesh stent is left behind to keep the artery open. It seems natural to think this procedure also would be an option to open blocked arteries inside the brain. But, to date, studies comparing angioplasty to medicines for narrowed arteries in the brain have been disappointing. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association once again compared the two treatments. The study included more than 100 people with narrowed arteries in the brain, who had suffered symptoms such as a TIA. The people were assigned at random to be treated with angioplasty and stent or with just medicines. The doctors conducting the study hoped people treated

with angioplasty would have better outcomes. Here were the outcomes in the angioplasty group (listed first) and the medicines-only group (listed second): brain hemorrhage in the first 30 days (24 percent vs. 9 percent); stroke or TIA in the first year (36 percent vs. 15 percent); increased disability score (24 percent vs. 11 percent). With the best of intentions, the doctors were trying to do something for their patients, something that seemed likely to help them. Instead, they were doing something to their patients that ended up hurting them. The study was promptly stopped. So forget about angioplasty. Instead, your wife should focus on other strategies that may help prevent another

TIA or stroke. For example: • Keep blood pressure in the normal range (less than 140/90). • Keep cholesterol levels healthy. • Maintain a normal weight. • Don’t smoke. • Stay physically active and exercise at least 30 minutes per day. Your wife’s doctor may also prescribe blood-thinning drugs, which can help prevent blood clots. In addition, cholesterol-lowering statin drugs may help prevent strokes, even in people with normal cholesterol levels.

Marijuana chemicals should be gone from the body Dr. Wallace: I’m 16 and about six months ago I did something really stupid. I smoked some marijuana and got high.

I have never touched the stuff since and I don’t plan to in the future. My best friend’s brother smokes pot regularly and I got it from him. Now I’m worried.

in the “first answer is the best answer” theory when taking a test. Frank Whitehouse, a teacher at the University of Michigan, became intrigued with test taking and conducted a three-year research project on the subject. After analyzing hundreds of an-

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

swer sheets and tests taken by medical, nursing, pharmacy and dental students at the University of Michigan, Whitehouse found that the majority of students who changed their answers actually improved their scores. The study also found there is little relationship between test scores and the amount of time students spend taking tests. Therefore, students should be instructed to work at a pace that’s comfortable for them, and to disregard students who finish early.

CROSSWORD

The opening lead from the bidding Fletcher Knebel, an author of political fiction, said, “Smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics.” When you play bridge, keeping some statistics is not a bad idea. For example, in a duplicate (or during a social game) note how many times your opponents went down two or more. If several, you did not double enough. How often do you find the best opening lead? Treat each one with care, though, because the “right” opening lead will not always turn out to be best in a given deal. After South opened one notrump, North used Stayman. When South rebid two hearts, North’s slightly aggressive jump to three no-trump announced a four-card spade holding and asked South to retreat to game in that suit if he also held four. Here, of course, South passed out three no-trump. What should West lead? The books tell you to lead the top of three touching honors against a no-trump contract. However, here, how are the spades distributed? North is known to have four, and South has two or three. This leaves East with two or one. If East has a singleton, the suit will be useless. West should hope his partner has a doubleton, preferably honor-doubleton. And not to block the suit, West must lead the seven, fourth-highest from his longest and strongest. Here, East should win with his ace and return the suit, which defeats the contract. The defenders must get four spades and one heart. Even if South wins with dummy’s spade king and runs diamonds, finessing through East, West can discard two hearts.

Shabbona church co-sponsors Summerfest and Tractor Show The community is invited to the Waterman Lions Summerfest and Tractor Show on July 18 with co-sponsor Shabbona United Church of Christ. How does tractor pulling and the ministry go together? Very well, according to Pastor Jim Allen. “I dreamed one day of pastoring a town and country church that would embrace rural life,” Allen said in a news release. “Jesus used the cultural traditions of his day, which were often agricultural, to present the Gospel.” “The imagery found in rural America is very similar to Bible times,” Allen said. Summerfest will take place at Waterman Lions Park, 420 S. Birch St., in Waterman. There will be activities for all ages throughout the day, including a breakfast, an 1890s vintage baseball game, tractor pull, train rides, hay rides, petting zoo arts and craft show, Lions food concessions, magic show, Cowboy Quick-

Smith awarded Anderson scholarship Owen Smith is the 2015 winner of the Christopher Anderson Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship is awarded each year by Christopher’s family to a senior DeKalb High School soccer player who is a good student and exemplifies the spirit, teamwork, sportsmanship and enthusiasm for soccer that Christopher demonstrated. Smith played soccer all four years at DHS, serving as varsity captain for two years, was named to the 1st Team All-Conference and was an All-Conference MVP. “Owen has been a tremendous asset and ambassador for the soccer program throughout his high school career,” DHS Head Soccer Coach Brent McIntosh said in a news release. “Owen exemplifies the personal qualities that the soccer program and the scholarship highly value. Owen’s time with the program far exceeds four years. He has been coming to practice with his father, Jay Smith, since he could walk. “Owen excelled in areas of leadership, work ethic, team-first mentality and soccer IQ. Owen’s contributions to the program were many and they will be highly valued for many years to come. We again offer congratulations to Owen and wish him the very best in his future endeavors,” he said in the release. Smith plans to study aviation at an FAAaccredited institution to help him achieve his goal of becoming a pilot. The scholarship was created in 2000 by the Anderson family in memory of their son and

DeKALB – Mary Stark, 99, realized a dream last week when she took to flight in a hot air balloon. Stark, who has lived in the DeKalb area for the past 40 years, said she made up her mind a few years ago that she wanted to take a hot air balloon ride before she hit 100. “I really can’t understand it, myself,” Stark said. “I just made up my mind that it would be fun.” When Sherrie Flavin, a friend of Stark’s, saw an advertisement for the balloon rides at the Rochelle airport, she helped Stark

The second of four monthly Thrive Farmers Markets will be on July 18 on the front lawn at St Paul’s Episcopal Church, 900 Normal Road. The market will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will feature fresh produce from the church garden on a pay-at-whatyou-want basis. Any profits from this sale will be turned over the DeKalb County Community Gardens organization. Thrive is an outreach-church development group that has been seeking ways to make a difference in community life. The garden project was launched last year. Members of St. Paul have partnered with DeKalb County Community Gardens in organizing the market. Members of St. Paul’s maintain a community garden on the church grounds. Anyone who has produce from a backyard or community garden can donate on market day, provided the produce has been

schedule a ride. It was perfect timing, Stark said, with her birthday in just a month – Aug. 16 – she was ready to get the ride scheduled. The airport – home of the Chicagoland Skydiving Center – only offers balloon rides on occasion. Fourth of July weekend was one such occasion, so the perfect opportunity to go, Stark said. “It just so happened to work out that they would only be there for a few days and with my birthday around the corner,” Stark said. Stark said she was excited for the opportunity to try something new, especially after planning on it for awhile.

“I’ve never experienced anything like this before,” she said. Relatives, friends and neighbors joined Stark at the Rochelle Airport flight deck July 2 for the adventure. LaVerne Faivre, 91, and her four daughters and one son accompanied Stark for the ride. The son, Matt Faivre, who is a licensed skydiver, took the opportunity to parachute after the balloon had gotten about a mile above the ground. “The experience was fantastic,” Stark said. “I wish we could have stayed up longer. This was quite the challenge for all of us, but we enjoyed ourselves immensely.” The Rochelle airport offers parachuting and skydiving at the Chicagoland Skydiving Center, 1207 W. Gurler Road in Rochelle.
