Justene Jennings, 17, of DeKalb, listens to 4-H judge Julie Sorensen talk about her stained glass project during the 4-H general projects judging Wednesday at the DeKalb County Farm Bureau in Sycamore. Jennings made the stained glass window for her church, the First Congregational Church in DeKalb and won a blue ribbon during the fiber/glass/plastic and heritage arts judging.

By KATIE SMITH ksmith@shawmedia.com DeKALB – An open window at First Congregational Church in DeKalb inspired the most beautiful piece of art Julie Sorensen said she has seen in her 20 years judging the 4-H general projects show. The piece was a stained-glass window made by Justene Jennings, 17, of DeKalb. Jennings brought it to the projects judging room at the DeKalb County Farm Bureau Center for Agriculture on Wednesday. “There’s a window in the church that has a lot of light coming through it, and they wanted to do something with that area,” Jennings said. “So I asked them if they would like a stained-glass window.” Judging of DeKalb County’s 4-H general projects began Wednesday, and each participant received either a white, red or blue ribbon – blue indicating that all expectations were met or exceeded, Nicole Groezinger, 4H program coordinator for DeKalb County said. About 150 4-Hers from around DeKalb County were expected to register Wednesday and today for the general projects show. The mere size of the window was an indication of how much

DeKALB – Six people were promoted this week within the city’s police, fire and public works departments. The promotions were highlighted as recommendations based on the city’s pay, compensation and classification study, City Manager Anne Marie Gaura said. “The promotions will allow the organizations to do the following,” she said, “to recognize and reward outstanding performance, create Jeff streamlined efficiencies and re- McMaster sponsibilities within these three departments, address compression issues ... and most importantly, appropriately address future succession planning.” “Compression issues” refers to employees approaching the pay of those who supervise them through Robert Redel working overtime and other compensation. Jake Keck, Jeff McMaster, James McDougall, Tracy Smith, Robert Redel and John Petragallo were honored at the City Council meeting Monday for their work within their respective departJohn ments. Petragallo Keck, in the Public Works Department, was promoted from operations and maintenance manager to support services superintendent. Keck has lived in DeKalb his entire life and has been in the public works department since 1993. John Laskowski, interim public works director, called Keck “in- Tracey Smith valuable” and said he had the ability to step into multiple roles. “His exceptional knowledge about construction, water mains and underground construction acts as a fantastic liaison between staff and contractors,” Laskowski said. “He’s been operating out of James the water division, but whenever McDougall the street superintendent or water superintendent are on vacation or absent, Jake is versatile enough to step into those

Temporary budget, likely doomed, goes to Rauner’s desk By JOHN O’CONNOR and SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Illinois lawmakers sent a stop-gap budget plan Wednesday to Gov. Bruce Rauner, who will likely dismiss the one piece to emerge from a flurry of Capitol activity, which did little to move the state toward a yearlong spending agreement. Despite the first-year Republican governor’s well-

known opposition, the Senate put up a partisan vote on a $2.3 billion, one-month budget to keep state government functioning; approved 39-0 with 15 voting “present.” Democrats, who have used provisional fiscal plans several times in the past decade, want to keep essential and emergency services available during the budget standoff. Rauner wants a permanent fix. But the day’s bursts of activity provided more heat than

light. Majority Democrats in the House readied but delayed a final vote on funding $18 million in additional July expenses after hearing someJohn timesheart-rendCullterton ing testimony from clients of state services on the struggles apparent two weeks into

the state’s new fiscal year. Meanwhile, the Senate voted to override Rauner’s vetoes of several budget bills, though House reluctance spells certain failure, and a plan billed as a property-tax freeze compromise with Rauner by Democratic Senate President John Cullerton fell short. The governor’s office did not respond to requests for comment and he did not make a public appearance. This spring, legislative

Democrats were behind a $36 billion budget that they acknowledged had a deficit of up to $4 billion. They want a tax increase to cover “vital” services, while Rauner has first demanded action on pro-business and political reforms such as restrictions on compensation for injured workers and officeholder term limits. The Senate’s interim financial plan was the lone substantive proposal that made progress, but not before hoots of

TODAY’S TALKER

Obama challenges critics of Iran deal By JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Vigorously challenging his critics, President Barack Obama launched an aggressive and detailed defense of a landmark Iranian nuclear accord Wednesday, rejecting the idea that it leaves Tehran on the brink of a bomb and arguing the only alternative to the diplomatic deal is war. “Either the issue of Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon is resolved diplomatically through a negotiation or it’s resolved through force, through war,” Obama said during a lengthy White House news conference. “Those are the options.” The president spoke one day after Iran, the U.S. and five other world powers finalized a historic, yearslong agreement to curb Tehran’s nuclear program in exchange for billions of dollars in sanctions relief. Opposition to the deal has been fierce, both in Washington and Israel. Sunni Arab rivals of Shiite Iran also express concerns. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, perhaps the fiercest critic of Obama’s overtures to Iran, showed no sign he could be persuaded to even tolerate the agreement. In remarks to Israel’s parliament, Netanyahu said he was not bound by the terms of the deal and could still take military action against Iran. “We will reserve our right

President Barack Obama listens to a question about the Iran nuclear deal during a news conference Wednesday in the East Room of the White House in Washington. The president vigorously defended the nuclear deal with Iran, casting the historic accord as the only possibility to avert a nuclear arms race in the Middle East and reduce the chances of war. to defend ourselves against all of our enemies,” said Netanyahu, who sees Iran’s suspected pursuit of a nuclear weapon as a threat to Israel’s existence. In Congress, resistance comes not only from Republicans, but also Obama’s own Democratic Party. Vice President Joe Biden spent the morning on Capitol Hill meeting privately with House Democrats, telling reporters as he left that he was confident they would get behind a deal. The president said he welcomed a “robust” debate with Congress, but showed little patience for what he cast as

politically motivated opposition. Lawmakers can’t block the nuclear deal, but they can try to undermine it by insisting U.S. sanctions stay in place. In Tehran, Iranians took to the streets to celebrate the accord, and even Iran’s hard-liners offered only mild criticism – a far cry from the outspoken opposition that the White House had feared. The nuclear accord has become a centerpiece of Obama’s foreign policy, a high-stakes gamble that diplomatic engagement with a longtime American foe could resolve one of the world’s most pressing security chal-

lenges. The importance of the deal to Obama was evident Wednesday, both in his detailed knowledge of its technical provisions and his insistence that no critique go unanswered. An hour into the East Room news conference, Obama asked if reporters had other questions about Iran – a highly unusual inquiry from a president who is rarely so freewheeling in his exchanges with the press. He pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket, saying he had “made notes” about the main criticisms of the deal and wanted to ensure each had been addressed.

gov’s consumer service center. That seemed to be a weak link in the system. The five bogus beneficiaries who were reinstated even got their monthly subsidies bumped up a bit, although GAO did not ask for it. The case of the sixth fake enrollee who appealed was under review. HealthCare.gov does not appear to be set up to detect fraud, GAO audits and investigations chief Seto Bagdoyan said in prepared testimony for a Senate Finance Committee hearing today. A copy was provided to The Associated Press. HealthCare.gov’s document-processing contractor “is not required to seek to detect fraud,” said Bagdoyan. “The contractor personnel involved in the document-verification process are not trained as fraud experts and

ties.” Administration officials told GAO there has been “no indication of a meaningful level of fraud” in the program, Bagdoyan said. Federal health care subsidies go directly to insurers, so the money does not end up in the bank accounts of individual enrollees. But health insurance is a valuable product in and of itself, with the cost of family coverage averaging close to $17,000 a year. Finance Committee chairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said the GAO’s investigation reveals “negligence” by the Obama administration, which “calls into question the legitimacy of the health law’s enrollment numbers and challenges the integrity of the website’s security checks.” Last year, when GAO first disclosed that it had

beneficiaries, the administration said it would work to strengthen HealthCare.gov’s verification checks. Administration officials had no initial comment Wednesday on GAO’s latest findings. HealthCare.gov is an online insurance marketplace used by residents of 37 states to get subsidized private coverage under the health care law. Although the administration has terminated coverage for more than 200,000 people who could not prove their citizenship or legal immigrant status, and some 300,000 have had their subsidies changed because of discrepancies over reported income, GAO’s bogus beneficiaries largely evaded that dragnet. It’s unclear whether the fictitious enrollees would have been kicked out of the program eventually.

Jury finds DeKalb man guilty of child sex assault By BRETT ROWLAND browland@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – It took a jury a matter of hours Wednesday to find a 36-year-old DeKalb man guilty of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child. The verdict, which was read at 1 p.m., concluded a trial that began Monday. Andrew Harris, formerly of the 600 block of north Fourth Street, could face six to 30 years in prison at his sentencing, which is set for Aug. 25. He is being held in DeKalb County jail. At trial, Harris’s attorney, Clay Campbell, attempted to cast doubt on the testimony of the victim, who was five years old at the time of the crime,

and the thoroughness of the investigation by DeKalb police. But the jury of nine men and three women sided with the case presented by DeKalb County Assistant State’s Attorney Duke Harris, which included testimony from the victim, who is now 7, and a video recorded by Shining Star Children’s Advocacy Center, where the girl spoke with a forensic interviewer after the incident was reported. In court, the girl identified Andrew Harris as the person who had assaulted her. On the stand, she was visibly more serious when she was asked about the assault. “We believed what the vic-

tim reported from the outset,” Duke Harris said Wednesday afternoon. “We believed all along that there was sufficient evidence for a conviction.” Even so, after talking to the victim’s family, prosecutors had offered Andrew Harris a plea Andrew deal that would Harris have spared him jail time with a sentence of probation. “There are a lot of things that factor into the mix,” Duke Harris said. “Kids are fragile.” In his closing argument, Duke Harris lauded the girl for her bravery.

“[The victim] did what we want kids to do when they are the victim of sexual assault,” he told the jury Wednesday morning. “[The victim] wasn’t afraid of Andrew Harris when she walked in the courtroom.” Duke Harris – who is not related to the defendant – also noted how the victim’s demeanor changed when she was asked about the assault. He emphasized that there was no evidence to suggest the girl had a motive or bias for bringing the allegations. Campbell suggested the girl had been influenced by her mother. The two had been living with Andrew Harris’s family at the time the assault happened, sometime between

Aug. 1 and Oct. 31, 2013, according to court records. They later were asked to leave the family’s home, Campbell said. Andrew Harris was not arrested until four months after the crime, on March 3, 2014. Campbell pointed out the passage of time and also highlighted inconsistencies in the victim’s statements and a dearth of corroborating evidence. “The only evidence is the statements of a child,” Campbell told the jury during his closing remarks. “The state is imploring you that that is enough – beyond a reasonable doubt, without any corroboration – to find a person guilty.” At one point, Campbell said

DeKALB – DeKalb County health officials said Tuesday that mosquitoes collected in DeKalb have tested positive for West Nile Virus, and more positive tests are expected. Mosquitoes in DeKalb have tested positive for West Nile Virus and more positive tests are likely to come, The mosquitoes that tested positive had been collected in a trap near the health department, which is at 2250 N. Annie Glidden Road, said Greg Maurice, director of health protection for the DeKalb County Health Department. This is the first positive test for West Nile Virus in DeKalb County this season, though other areas including Kane and Will counties have found mosquitoes carrying the virus. DeKalb County hasn’t had a human case of West Nile Virus since 2012. In 2014, 44 human cases were identified in Illinois, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health. Maurice said that it’s not uncommon for mosquitoes in DeKalb to carry the virus. “We expect to get positives every year,” he said. “Especially now, if it gets warmer and rains more, I would expect to see more [positives] to come through on samples.”

“We do spray for special events, but that’s about all right now. Being right next to the river, I’m not really sure what we can do about it. If West Nile has been found in the area, we’ll probably have to discuss that.” Mat Emken DeKalb Park District superintendent of parks and development

The virus has not been identified in birds yet this season, Maurice said. “Bird [testing] is more hit or miss,” he said. “With birds you never know exactly what caused the birds to die and depending on where they are in the decomposition process it’s harder to get with testing.” Mosquitoes in Hopkins Park have been heavy this year, especially with the wet conditions. Anyone who was out in the park for the Fourth of July could vouch for that, said Mat Emken, superintendent of parks and development with the DeKalb Park District. “We do spray for special

events, but that’s about all right now,” Emken said. “Being right next to the river, I’m not really sure what we can do about it. If West Nile has been found in the area, we’ll probably have to discuss that.” Maurice said the best thing people can do in terms of prevention is avoid being bit by reducing chances of mosquito exposure. For example, stay inside when mosquitoes are especially active – between dusk and dawn. If you are out in the evening, wear bug spray that includes DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus and protective clothing like shoes and socks, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt. About one in 150 people who contract the virus will experience severe symptoms, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Up to 20 percent of people with the virus will have mild flu-like symptoms including fever, headaches, and nausea. Swollen lymph glands and skin rashes sometimes occur. Symptoms can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, according to the CDC. The DeKalb Health Department is collecting dead birds to send to the state lab for West Nile Virus testing. To report a dead bird, call the health department at 815-7482452.

the case “defines reasonable doubt.” However, Duke Harris objected and the comment was stricken from the record. Afterward, Campbell said he was surprised by the verdict and that Andrew Harris would appeal. “I think that the testimony of one person – whether a child or an adult – without corroboration never rises to the level of proof necessary to convict someone of a crime,” Campbell said. “Mr. Harris will continue to profess his innocence and intends to appeal the jury’s verdict.”

Fire Chief Eric Hicks said having two people trained as fire chiefs would help the department going forward. McMaster will complete his 20th year of service with the fire department in November and is completing his second year of executive fire officer training with the National Fire Academy. Four police officers also were promoted Police Chief Gene Lowery said the four had cumulative experience of more than 113 years serving in DeKalb and with other law enforcement agencies. “All four are very deserving and committed to our city,” Lowery said.

Democrats look to keep services running with temporary budget • BUDGET

Continued from page A1 began July 1 without a budget, Democrats fashioned a checking account for the month – as they did in 2004 and 2007 – to keep the Capitol lights on. “It’s very narrowly focused,” the legislation’s sponsor, Democratic Sen. Heather Steans of Chicago, said. “We’re trying to ensure that those key services that really do impact the health and welfare of particularly vulnerable groups are being met.” The House changed the

plan last week to add salaries for all 64,500 state workers for July, not just those performing “essential” services. This came after Rauner sought court orders to be able to pay employees and keep them working even without a budget. Courts so far have ruled in his favor and the first batch of checks went out Wednesday. Rauner should “put politics aside, ignore the advice of his campaign advisers, and sign the bill,” House Speaker Michael Madigan told reporters 90 minutes before the House completed its hearing on a new aid service.

Ten-year-old Sydney Walter received a blue ribbon for her cake-decorating presentation, which her mother, Kristen Walter, said has taught her daughter about more than just baking.

“They’re required to do a presentation each year and so it’s really helped with public speaking,” Kristen Walter said. Sydney Walter was required to present a cake that demonstrated at least five decorating techniques that were new to her this year, she said. “Last year, I received a red ribbon,” Sydney Walter said. “I kept practicing and I worked really hard at it.” When one-on-one judging is complete, judges from each category will determine the top projects.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Trump: Politics of the past

To the Editor: Just as Adolf Hitler took advantage of a long history of anti-Semitism to rise to power in Germany, Donald Trump is taking advantage of anti-immigrant feelings that have long been part of American culture. The similarities between then and now are striking and no less dangerous today than in Hitler’s day. I know comparing modern-day figures to the Nazis is a popular meme and in most cases, without validity, but that doesn’t preclude the comparison from ever being apt. Occasionally, we are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past when we forget those lessons or enough time has passed that we simply cannot see those lessons

as relevant. What doesn’t change over time is human nature. We are more or less the same people. We have prejudices, fears, and are not above blaming others for our problems. Hitler characterized Jews in Europe as diseased criminals responsible for Germany’s problems. He exaggerated and exploited isolated instances of crime or immoral behavior, just as Trump exaggerates and exploits isolated instances of undocumented immigrant crimes. The truth is that the 500,000 Jews in 1930s Germany were almost indistinguishable from other Germans. They were middle class, academics, professionals, and mostly lived in cities. The truth of undocumented

immigrants in this country is that they are less likely to commit crimes than the population as a whole, while working hard at low-wage jobs, without benefits, and always in danger of being deported. They are not more likely to come here carrying diseases or tp commit murders, as Trump has characterized them. Hitler also threatened his European neighbors and eventually invaded them. Trump has accused the Mexican government of sending immigrants across the border and has said that they are sending the worst elements of society north. Hitler’s Nazi Party drew support not from the intellectuals of German society, but largely from uneducated, unemployed, disaffected Germans who had ex-

perienced crushing poverty that resulted from Germany’s World War I reparation payments. Trump’s supporters are a disaffected segment of American society who already fear immigrants, thrive on low-information cable news programs, and are, for the most part, older white Americans who suffered financially from the Great Recession. The term scapegoating is often associated with Hitler’s treatment of the Jewish population. Is Trump’s rhetoric any less inflammatory than Hitler’s was? The human race simply can’t afford another charismatic leader willing to say anything to achieve ultimate power. Ted Moen DeKalb

Anxiety over education may shape the 2016 campaign College, once a sure ticket to the middle class, is causing a lot of anxiety these days. People are concerned about its cost, about low graduation rates and about the poor employment prospects for some graduates. Hillary Clinton complained about the burden of student debt in a speech in New York last month. Sen. Marco Rubio devoted much of a speech on economic opportunity this week to his own ideas for reforming higher education. We’re beginning to see the outlines of two rival approaches to addressing these problems. Democratic solutions center on increased federal spending and regulation, and Republican ones on increased competition. As a result, the next election could matter more than most for the future of higher education. In particular, progressives want to use increased federal funding as leverage to get schools to act the way federal policymakers want. Thus, President Barack Obama’s proposal to spend $60 billion to eliminate tuition at community colleges that “adopt promising and evidence-based institutional reforms to improve student outcomes.” A related idea is to have the government publish ratings for colleges, the better to make them responsive to the desires of Washington. The progressive approach exposes newer players, such as for-profit schools, to special scrutiny. Conservatives, on the other hand, increasingly favor policies that provide

VIEWS Ramesh Ponnuru new options for students: new educational institutions, new financing methods and new information for evaluating them. Rubio wants to liberalize accreditation rules to break up what he calls the higher-education “cartel.” He wants to make it easier for private institutions to extend student loans in return for a share of students’ future income. He thinks vocational education should get a greater share of federal funds. He thinks prospective students should have access to data about how well graduates of specific college programs fare at getting jobs. He wants higher-education institutions, whether new or old, for-profit or not, to be accountable to customers rather than the government. There’s some overlap between the two camps. Sen. Ron Wyden, a liberal Democrat, has teamed up with Rubio to sponsor legislation that advances college accountability. Obama has sometimes talked about changing the accreditation rules. Both Rubio and Obama want to let people with lower incomes make lower student-loan repayments. In its coverage of Rubio’s speech, the New York Times said that his proposals “sounded strikingly similar to policies that President Obama has called for during his

time in office,” and quoted a Democratic spokeswoman denying Rubio had any new ideas. It’s easy to exaggerate how much common ground there is, however. The Times cites old bits of Obama’s rhetoric on which he hasn’t followed up. Sen. Mike Lee has a bill to change the accreditation rules, for example. Rubio has praised it while Obama has been silent about it. As his term comes to an end, the president seems more comfortable with policies that fit the liberal paradigm. So does Clinton. But I said that we were “beginning” to see a left-right split on higher education. Republicans haven’t fully embraced Rubio’s agenda of conservative reforms. Senator Lamar Alexander, who is working on a rewrite of the Higher Education Act, has released white papers that are consistent with that agenda. But more recently he wrote an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal making the case that higher education works pretty well as it is. Over time, Republicans will probably reach the conclusion that they’re better off addressing popular anxieties about higher education than trying to talk people out of having them. Once that happens, the debate will be on. Maybe even in time for November 2016.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

It seems the buzz surrounding the West Nile virus in Illinois quiets more every summer. But the virus remains among mosquitoes in our environment, and it’s still a good idea to limit your risk of exposure. The DeKalb County Health Department announced Wednesday that it had captured a batch of mosquitoes in DeKalb that tested positive for West Nile Virus. In nearby Kane County, a batch of mosquitoes carrying the virus was collected last week near Elburn. This summer’s wet weather has left plenty of standing water – just what mosquitoes need to lay their eggs – and the night air has at times been thick with mosquitoes. In 2014, there were 44 human cases of West Nile in Illinois, according to the Illinois Department of Health. There were three deaths. Those figures are down from the 117 human cases and 11 deaths in 2013 and 290 human cases – including one in DeKalb County – and 12 deaths in 2012. Human cases started to spike after only five were reported in 2009. In 2010, there were 61 human cases of West Nile virus, including four deaths. There were 34 human cases and three deaths in 2011. West Nile virus is most commonly spread by infected mosquitoes. It can cause fever, encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) or meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord). There are steps you can take to protect yourself from being bitten by a West Nile-infected mosquito. Follow these tips from the health department: • Wear shoes, socks, long-sleeved shirts and pants when outdoors for long periods of time or when mosquitoes are most active – usually dawn and dusk. • When possible, avoid the outdoors during peak biting times – dawn and dusk. • Spray clothing with insect repellent. • Apply insect repellent sparingly to exposed skin by following label directions. Some experts recommend lower concentrations for children. Check with your doctor before applying insect repellent on infants, and wash your hands after using insect repellent. • Look for EPA-labeled products containing DEET, Picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or IR3535. It also is important to eliminate mosquito breeding sites from around your residence. Mosquito eggs can develop in any standing water that lasts more than five to seven days. Follow these health department tips: • Turn over children’s wading pools and toys when not in use. • Drill holes in the bottom of recycling and trash containers that are left outdoors. • Change water in birdbaths twice a week. • Fix leaky faucets. They provide water where mosquitoes can breed. • Drill holes in window boxes and flower planters to prevent water from pooling. • Aerate ornamental ponds or stock with mosquito-eating fish. • Keep pools clean and chlorinated. • Eliminate standing water on your property. Take proper precautions this summer to reduce your exposure to the West Nile virus.

ANOTHER VIEW

Pluto visit shows what NASA can do The first detailed glimpse of Pluto was a stunner: A mottled, multicolored orb, shimmering 3 billion miles from Earth. It has craters, “great mounds,” a mysterious dark belt along the equator – even suggestions of snowfall. The photos came from the NASA spacecraft New Horizons, which has reached the outskirts of the solar system after a nine-year journey. By almost any measure, the mission is already a success, and serves as a fitting capstone for the era of exploration that the U.S. began half a century ago. The next space age will probably look quite different – private enterprise can play a greater role, and NASA should let it – but it will be an exhilarating one all the same. It’s worth dwelling for a moment on NASA’s latest achievement. Traveling at more than 30,000 mph, New Horizons is the fastest spacecraft ever launched. At about $700 million, it was a modest expense by spacefaring standards. And its measurements may yet yield crucial clues about how the early solar system evolved and how life began on Earth. The U.S. is now the only country to have visited every planet in the solar system (Pluto’s unconscionable downgrading to a “dwarf planet” notwithstanding). More to the point, if the U.S. wants a sustained presence on Mars, it will need the help of private enterprise. Companies such as SpaceX and Orbital Sciences have made substantial progress in pushing down the costs of rocketry. Occasional (and useful) failures aside, they’re also doing commendable work supplying the International Space Station. SpaceX and Boeing intend to start ferrying humans there by 2017. There’s good reason to think that such companies – under NASA’s supervision – could eventually develop far cheaper ways to get to Mars. Such an arrangement could even serve as a blueprint for the next era of space exploration. The New Horizons mission is the latest confirmation that the American space program is still capable of accomplishing great things. It shouldn’t be the last.

LOS ANGELES – Caitlyn Jenner accepted the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs on Wednesday night while urging acceptance for others who are transgender. She received a standing ovation from some of the sporting world’s biggest stars after her 10-minute speech during the annual awards honoring the year’s top athletes and moments. “This transition has been harder on me than anything I can imagine,” said Jenner, who revealed she was in the process of becoming a woman in a televised interview with Diane Sawyer in April on ABC. Noting her powerful celebrity platform, the 1976 Olympic decathlon champion vowed “to do whatever I can to reshape the landscape of how transgender people are viewed and treated.” Abby Wambach of the U.S. soccer team that won the Women’s World Cup presented the trophy to Jenner, whose voice broke as she thanked members of her famous family, including stepdaughters Kim and Khloe Kardashian. Tears welled in the eyes of Jenner’s younger daughter, Kylie, whose sister, Kendall, wiped a tear from her eye. “I never wanted to hurt anyone else, most of all my family and my kids,” said Jenner, who admitted that until earlier this year she had never met another transgender person. She told the audience about trans teenagers who are bullied, beaten up, murdered or kill themselves. She mentioned two people by name whose deaths particularly touched her. – Wire report

Camp Power participants spend time with NIU football team By JESSE SEVERSON jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – When the children participated in the Camp Power event with the Northern Illinois football players at Huskie Stadium, a theme emerged on the day that featured five different drills. The campers loved taking down the tackling dummy. “I liked when you tackle the (dummy),” said Rasheed Griffin, a 13-yearold who plays football for fun. “It helped me train for when I get to play football when I’m older.” The Wednesday afternoon with some of the Huskies football players was the second installment of Camp Power, which is for children living at University Village. The campers spent time with the men’s and women’s basketball teams July 8 and will participate in events with the baseball, softball and volleyball teams Wednesday. Mary Hess, a prevention specialist for local mental health agency Ben Gordon Center who helps orchestrate Camp Power, said many of the kids were

They’ve been very good to us.” The day with the foot-

The Dallas Stars already had acquired Patrick Sharp and prospect Stephen Johns, which seemed to be quite enough in the pillaging department. But, no. On Wednesday, they signed Johnny Oduya, another stinging reminder that the Blackhawks’ Stanley Cup parade is over. You can’t accuse the Stars of being subtle. They identified the Hawks as the franchise to emulate, and they have emulated the heck out of them by picking off the champions’ salary-cap casualties. Johnny Oduya See the team that has won three Stanley Cups in six seasons and, you know, be like them. Oh, and Dallas signed former Hawks goalie Antti Niemi last month. A source tells me the Stars “want to get in on this deepdish pizza thing, too.” Oduya will be missed, perhaps more than the Hawks will let on. With their defensemen, most of the attention has gone to Duncan Keith for his offensive abilities. Some – not enough – has gone to Niklas Hjalmarsson for always being in the right place at the right time. But relatively little went to Oduya, who put in massive minutes in the playoffs and performed extremely well. When the Hawks acquired defenseman Trevor Daley as part of the Sharp trade last week, it was the end of Oduya in Chicago. Brandon Saad was the first to go in a shocking trade to Columbus. After that, the moves became somewhat easier to absorb. Brad Richards to Detroit. Antoine Vermette back to Arizona. Sharp to Dallas. And now Oduya to Dallas. Sigh. The Stars finished five points out of the last playoff spot in the Western Conference last season. Here’s guessing they’ll move up

GOLF: BRITISH OPEN

Spieth trying to look at Open as another event Texan works to keep Grand Slam hopes alive By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – With a chance to match history at the home of golf, Jordan Spieth is trying to make the British Open feel like just another event. And that might be as tough as any challenge at St. Andrews. The press room was at capacity and spilled out the door when he spoke to the media Wednesday for the first time this week, creating an atmo-

sphere normally reserved for Tiger Woods or Rory McIlroy. Fans gathered around a board that listed the practice round schedule, scanning up and down until they found Spieth. “Please hold the cameras until after the shot,” caddie Michael Greller told the gallery. The sound of shutters began at the top of his swing, and Spieth could only laugh when he launched his tee shot. “It’s like this on every hole,” he said. The 21-year-old Texan does not have the aura of Woods.

He does not have the accomplishments of McIlroy. He still is the main attraction at this British Open, and would be even if McIlroy – the defending champion and No. 1 in the world – were not out with an ankle injury. Folks know their history at St. Andrews. Ben Hogan in 1953 is the only other player to capture the Masters, U.S. Open and AP photo British Open in the same year.

ROSEMONT – Allie Quigley scored 15 points and Chicago rolled to an 85-57 win over the Washington Mystics on Wednesday for the Sky’s fourth straight win. Elena Delle Donne, the leading vote-getter for the AllStar Game, was only 4 of 11 in finishing with 11 points, more than 14 under her average. She did grab 11 rebounds, eight in the first half, to post her eighth double-double this season much to the delight of the 16,304 camp day fans. The Sky broke open a close game with a huge second quarter to take a 51-32 lead at the half. Clarissa Dos Santos, in her first career start, scored all 11 of her points and Cappie Pondexter 10 of her 14 in the quarter where the Sky outscored Washington 27-11. Jamierra Faulkner finished with 12.

Last 9 set at World Series of Poker

LAS VEGAS – Six-time bracelet winner and poker pro Daniel Negreanu seemed headed for a fairy tale ending at the World Series of Poker, but the dream was crushed by the queen of hearts sending him to the sidelines in the chase for the $7.7 million top prize. Instead, nine other competitors will finish poker’s richest tournament in November, including a 72-year-old former Hasbro executive and a 27-year-old poker pro who won his $10,000 buy-in for the no-limit Texas Hold ‘em main event by playing daily fantasy sports. Eight players are chasing dominant chip leader Joe McKeehen. The 24-year-old Pennsylvanian realizes he may now be seen as poker’s villain after eliminating Negreanu in 11th place with a dramatic hand. Negreanu wagered the last of his chips after an ace in his hand paired the board. McKeehen called with several draws, then won with a straight on the final community card. The other players at the final table are: 61-year-old Neil Blumenfield, 27-year-old Max Steinberg, 72-year-old Pierre Neuville, 36-year-old Zvi Stern, 23-year-old Thomas Cannuli, 24-year-old Josh Beckley, 26-year-old Patrick Chan and 25-year-old Federico Butteroni.

Dodgers acquire pitcher Dayton from Miami

LOS ANGELES – The Dodgers have acquired left-hander Grant Dayton from the Miami Marlins in exchange for lefthander Chris Reed. Dayton was 2-1 with a 2.83 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 25 games for Triple-A New Orleans this season. The 27-yearold pitcher was selected by the Marlins in the 11th round of the 2010 first-year player draft. He will report to Triple-A Oklahoma City. The trade was announced Wednesday.

Muschamp gets $5.1M in 3 years from Auburn

AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn defensive coordinator Will Muschamp will make at least $5.1 million over three years. The university released the contract Wednesday. The former Florida head coach will make $1.6 million in the 2015 season and receive $100,000 raises in each of the next two years plus unspecified bonuses. Florida also owes Muschamp $6.3 million over three years. That raises his total pay to $3.9 million a year. Auburn coach Gus Malzahn calls Muschamp “the best defensive mind in all of football, not just college football.” – Wire reports

CUBS

Theo ponders rocking the boat Epstein clears his head after jam with Eddie Vedder By JIM LITKE The Associated Press Don’t bother asking whether this is the year. Theo Epstein’s answer to the question that’s haunted Cubs fans for a century-and-counting hasn’t changed. It’s the same one he gave four years ago, when Epstein was introduced as the franchise’s latest savior to great fanfare and pleaded for patience: He has no idea. Neither does anyone else. When the club broke training camp back in spring, 2016 seemed like a reasonable guess, or maybe ’17. But if Epstein’s suddenly fast-filling schedule is any indication, this just might be the one. For the first time since he took over as the club’s baseball operations boss, Wrigley Field is on full alert. Chockfull of young talent and now managed by wily Joe Maddon, the Cubs finally made it to midseason without being mathematically – or just realistically – eliminated from the postseason. Small as that accomplishment seems, especially measured against their high-flying division rivals in St. Louis and Pittsburgh, there is the whiff of real possibility in the air on Chicago’s North Side and the anticipation that reinforcements are on the way. With the trade deadline looming at the end of the

month, Epstein is thinking about buying players instead of simply swapping or selling them. All of a sudTheo Epstein den, just like it used to be back in Boston at this time of year, he is crazy busy. And not just with baseball: Epstein found time in the days before the All-Star break to step onstage at a nearby club alongside good friend Eddie Vedder and contribute backup guitar licks and vocals to a pretty good rendition of “Rockin’ in the Free World.” Good enough, anyway, to raise $425,0000 for a youth charity he began in Boston and expanded to Chicago. When he sat down for an interview, Epstein looked at ease, but he was still hoarse. “If somebody came up to me in spring training and said here’s where you’ll be (47-40) at the end of the first half,” he began, clearing his throat one more time, “I’d have taken it in a heartbeat.” No doubt. Back then, youngsters Kris Bryant and Addison Russell had yet to make their major league debuts and there were plenty of questions about how a handful of added veterans like reliever Jason Motte, catcher Miguel Montero and re-

turning starter Jason Hammel would fit in. Epstein turned that job over to Maddon and he did not disappoint. “Because we play just about every day, you get into a rhythm right away and then the season becomes a kind of blur,” Maddon said. “So if your veterans don’t buy in early, it only gets harder and harder to flip the culture. “I was mostly lucky with this group, because to a man, they bought in really fast,” he added. “Made my life a lot easier.” Of course, it wasn’t that simple. Maddon also proved masterful at managing a bullpen-by-committee and made sure understudies like Chris Denorfia and David Ross got enough at-bats to be pressed into starting roles when needed. After Bryant struck out three times in his first big-league game, Maddon made sure he didn’t worry about it. “That’s how Joe is,” Russell said. “He always says, ‘If you’re going to make a mistake, make it on the aggressive side.’ ... When you’re young, you just want to go, go, go and I was down on myself because I wasn’t stealing as many bases as I thought I should. “I talked to Joe and he said instead of worrying about that, start picking spots where you can take the extra base,” Russell added. “It changed how I looked

at running. I think it made me smarter and better on the base paths all the way around.” Successful as the mix has been so far, Epstein is considering mixing it up even more. Back in 2004, when he helped deliver Boston’s first World Series title in 86 years, he was portrayed as the leader of a pack of young general managers determined to build baseball teams that resembled the statistical models they assembled with computers. The truth, at least in Epstein’s case, was never that simple. His greatest strength was striking a balance between the old and new ways of cobbling together teams and being unafraid to rattle the believers in either camp. During his Cubs tenure, which has aligned with a shift in the game from hitting to pitching, Epstein has taken the long view and loaded up on dynamic young position players. Just don’t bet he won’t change course. Epstein can’t know whether this is the year, but he may be willing to roll the dice at the halfway point to find out. “We’d like to add starting pitching. We’re already running the risk of being thin heading into the dog days,” Epstein said, breaking into a wide smile after sneaking a glance at his phone. “We’ll see.”

WHITE SOX

White Sox perking up, but is it too late? By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press The White Sox rolled into the All-Star break playing their best ball of the season, finally performing like the team they thought they were after a miserable start. Maybe the worst is behind them. Or maybe this is just a brief reprieve. For all the talk about firing manager Robin Ventura and shaking up the roster, the Sox can at least breathe a little easier during this break. “We’re playing some good baseball, we’re beating some good teams so I wish we didn’t have the All Star Break to be honest with you,” said Adam Eaton, batting .245 after agreeing to a $23.5 million, five-year contract in March. “We’re continuing to play good baseball, but we’ll take the four days that we have and rest up and hope to make a good close in the second half.” It would not hurt if Chris Sale could start every game, the way he is dominating. Actually, the staff as a whole has been solid. The hitting and fielding, well, that’s another story. The Sox are last in the AL Central, 11 games behind division leader Kansas City and 5½ out of the wild card. That’s not the return they were looking for after spending big in the offseason. But at least they are starting to win. “I like what these guys are bringing to the table every day,” Ventura said. “They haven’t quit, they haven’t given up on

They have cut back on the mistakes and started to resemble the team they thought they would be after adding starter Jeff Samardzija, closer David Robertson, outfielder Melky Cabrera and slugger Adam LaRoche. It just might be too late, though. The Sox are last in the majors in runs scored at 292, headed toward their lowest total in an uninterrupted season in 47 years. They project to finish with 550 runs over 162 games. The last time they scored so few in a season that was not shortened, they finished with 463 in 1968.

For comparison, the 2000 team scored a franchise-record 978. They have not fared particularly well on defense, and are just 24th in fielding percentage. But their pitching has been solid, particularly with Sale at the top of the rotation and Samardzija (6-4, 4.02 ERA) starting to deliver after a shaky start. Sale (8-4, 2.72) made his fourth consecutive All-Star team and it’s easy to see why. He tied Pedro Martinez’s major league-record with at least 10 strikeouts in eight consecutive starts and ranks second in the majors to Clayton Kershaw with 157. “He’s the closest thing to Randy Johnson, I think, that you’ve seen in a long time,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “Very

uncomfortable at-bat. Really good stuff. A breaking ball that’s equally good to both righties and lefties. Fastball is awesome. Uncomfortable delivery. He’s got all that going on.” While Sox general manager Rick Hahn has said he hopes to be in a buying rather than selling mode, the Sox could have some difficult decisions to make before the July 31 nonwaiver trade deadline. “There have been tough stretches, but we’re still having fun, we’re still enjoying being around each other,” catcher Tyler Flowers said. “Now we’re starting to play a little bit better, playing as a unit and maybe starting to click a little bit more, so it’s even more fun.”

into pennants – no-hit man Max Scherzer and the Nationals hope so, as do Zack Greinke (with his shutout string intact at 352⁄3 innings) and the Dodgers. In a neat start to the second half, LA visits Washington in a matchup of NL division leaders. The Yankees have moved on quite nicely minus Derek Jeter to top the AL East, and now need their starting pitching to hold up. A lights-out Royals bullpen has kept Kansas City ahead in the Central, and a front-office skirmish hasn’t deterred Trout, fresh off his second straight AllStar MVP award, Albert Pujols or the Angels out West.

hard to imagine a year ago, but that’s how the wild-card playoff games would stack up today. A long way to go, of course. Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa and the Astros have been a feel-good story, and what rookie manager Paul Molitor has done with his hometown Twins has been downright incredible. Meanwhile, you can’t ever count out Madison Bumgarner and the San Francisco Giants, winners of three of the last five titles. That said, all eyes will be on Wrigley Field if the Cubs stay close. Rookie Kris Bryant has delivered and pricey free agent Jon Lester could dominate soon.

GOLF: BRITISH OPEN

Watson’s farewell 65-year-old Watson’s last British Open By PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – Tom Watson is filled with all sorts of conflicting emotions. He’s melancholy that such a big part of his life is winding down, yet there’s an immense sense of pride in what he’s accomplished. He’s realistic that it’s the right time to step away, but he can still flash that ol’ competitive streak when anyone suggests this is nothing more than a nostalgic farewell at the home of golf. “This is not a ceremony at all,” Watson said Wednesday, his eyes steely and firm. “I’m trying to compete against these players out here.” Some of them, such as Jordan Spieth, are young enough to be his grandchildren. Which is why, in all likelihood, the 65-year-old Watson will be playing the British Open for the final time, a fivetime champion making one last crossing of the Swilcan Bridge. “There are some tools missing now, especially distance,” he moaned. “I need everything to compete against these kids,” pausing for emphasis. “Everything.” Watson could earn the right to play another five years if he finishes in the top 10 this week, an exception that was hastily added to the Open’s 60-year-old age limit after he nearly became golf’s oldest major champion at Turnberry in 2009. Watson went to the 72nd hole with a one-stroke lead, only to make bogey and lose to Stewart Cink in a playoff. That one still stings a bit,

When he does, the mind inevitably drifts to all the good times he had during the past four decades on the links courses of Scotland and England, a brand of golf he initially despised for the inexplicable bounces and the persnickety weather, for a capriciousness that was very much at odds with his desire to be precise in everything he did. “I fought it. I didn’t particularly like it,” Watson recalled. “In fact, I didn’t like it at all when I first played here at St. Andrews in ‘78. I didn’t like the uncertainty of it, didn’t like the luck of the bounce, just didn’t like links golf.” That would change, of course, as a victory at Carnoustie in his very first Brit-

ish Open in 1975 would lead to another two years later at Turnberry in the famous “Duel in the Sun” with Jack Nicklaus. Another title followed at Muirfield in 1980, then back-to-back wins at Troon and Birkdale in 1982 and ’83. The claret jug would come to define his career, the Open providing five of his eight major titles and transforming this stoic man of the American Midwest into a beloved figure on this side of the Atlantic. In recent days, Watson reflected on many of the people who passed through his life because of this tournament, going all the way back to his first Open as he prepared to face Jack Newton in an 18hole playoff. “I was leaving the house, and it’s raining, it’s cold, and here comes a little Scottish

girl, comes up to the front door and says, ‘Mr. Watson, please take this for good luck,’ ” Watson said, his lips curling into a slight grin. “I could barely understand her, but I finally figured it out. She gave me a little thing of tinfoil, and in it was some white heather. I kept that in my bag for many years for luck, and it brought me good luck. But I remember that little girl.” Watson also remembers an immigration worker at Prestwick Airport near Glasgow, a frequent entry point into the country early in the golfer’s career. The man spoke with a thick Scottish accent that Watson never quite deciphered, but it didn’t matter. They were able to connect on a different level. “We were friends for years and years, a man whom I never understood, but understood that he liked me and I liked him,” said Watson, his eyes watering just a bit. “There is a certain sense of melancholy. You can sense that. The regret that it’s over,” he said. “It’s a little bit like death. The finality of the end is here. But what tempers that very much are the memories and the people I’ve met along the way.” Another big part of his life will end next spring. Watson decided this was also the right time to announce that the 2016 Masters will be his last, his decision influenced in large part by a second-round 81 at Augusta National this year. “The golf course is too big for me,” he said. “When you shoot 81, it’s time to say goodbye.” While Watson’s competitive nature would never allow him to totally rule out another turn-back-the-clock performance in the British Open, he knows this will surely be his final trip across the Swilcan Bridge, an emotional crossing that so many greats have walked before him, from Arnold Palmer to longtime friend and rival Nicklaus.

The Open comes back to its roots By TIM DAHLBERG The Associated Press ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – Teachers led a gaggle of preschoolers in bright yellow slickers through the rain Wednesday on a field trip that had nothing to do with the golf about to take place just a well struck 3-wood away. Up the street, tourists gawked at the ruins of St. Andrews Castle, built in the 13th century on the edge of the North Sea and destroyed and rebuilt several times as the Scots and English battled over control of land that would one day become the most hallowed in a game that had yet to be invented. There’s nothing in golf quite like the birthplace of golf, the venerable Old Course at St. Andrews, where Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth and 154 others will tee it up today in the British Open. There’s also nothing like a town of 16,000 so integrated with the course that it is closed and turns into a park every

Sunday, where people bring their dogs to walk the ancient fairways or cross down to the chilly beach below. Step off the 18th green at St. Andrews, and there’s a row of pubs, hotels and golf shops just a short chip away. Things are so close that players teeing off on the 17th hole actually aim over the Old Course Hotel – where the rooms are named after Open champions – to try and hit the narrow fairway. During Open week it’s not unusual to see some of the best players in the world in local restaurants or just out for a walk. Late Tuesday evening, Bernhard Langer and his family strolled about, glancing over across the street where golf fans spilled out into the streets with pints of beer from the Dunvegan Hotel and pub. The pub was especially crowded on this night because word was Arnold Palmer was going to make an appearance, like he did the last time the Open was here in 2010. The king

never arrived, though his wife, Kit, did stop by. Want to see a piece of golf history? The British golf museum sits behind the 18th green, with displays of golf memorabilia dating back to the game’s origins here. Estimates vary who first choked on a 3-foot putt, but golf was said to be played here as early as the 15th century, with St. Andrews itself established in 1754. A special feature this week is a display of Tom Watson’s five claret jug trophies for winning the Open. Watson is playing in his final Open this week, something that had him a bit wistful Wednesday on the eve of the Open. “It’s such a part of the fabric of life here in Scotland, the game of golf,” he said. “[Even] people who don’t play the game understand it.” St. Andrews, though, isn’t just a golf town. School isn’t in session during the summer, but the University of St. Andrews bills itself as the third oldest

university in the world, dating back to 1410. Prince William met Kate Middleton while both studied there, and the rest is royal history. There might be some royals in the crowd this week, although for some the best players are royalty themselves. At the Pizza Express restaurant on a cobblestone street by the university, a server proudly brought out a hat given to him early in the week by the caddie for Tiger Woods. “See, it’s signed by Tiger himself,” he said, showing the Nike hat off. “I looked it up on Google to make sure it was really his.” Even on a week where huge grandstands are brought in to handle the big crowds and police are on special alert, it’s still easy to get near the action without a ticket. Tourists can stroll behind the 18th green, and anyone can peek over the crowd from the row of shops and rooms lining the 18th fairway to get a glimpse of play.

NBA

Money is exploding across the league By TIM REYNOLDS The Associated Press LAS VEGAS – To understand how the business model of NBA salaries is unlike ever before, consider the cases of Reggie Jackson, Khris Middleton and DeMarre Carroll. They’re not All-Stars. They’re not exactly household names, either. Nonetheless, the trio got a combined $210 million in deals this summer: Jackson got $80 million over five years from the Detroit Pistons, Middleton a fiveyear, $70 million deal to stay with the Milwaukee Bucks, and Carroll a four-year contract worth nearly $60 million to join the Toronto Raptors. Only a couple years ago, such deals would have been considered baffling. These days, they seem quite fair. “The numbers you hear out there, they seem crazy to think about,” Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside said. Thanks to a $24 billion TV deal that kicks in before the 2016-17 season, already skyrocketing salaries will soon reach a new stratosphere. It’s hard to fathom that a league that dealt with serious labor strife four years ago and might be looking at another work stoppage in a couple years is about to become flush with so much cash.

“One of the things we’re learning is that there is so much that’s unpredictable when the cap is moving so dramatically as it did – as it will next year and the year after that,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said. “We’re continuing to study how our system is absorbing the money.” Despite all the contract riches, Silver offers a major word of caution – the NBA still insists that plenty of teams are losing money. “A significant number of teams are continuing to lose money and they continue to lose money because their expenses exceed their revenue,” Silver said. And yet to many, the riches seem richer than ever. The salary cap for this coming season was supposed to rise considerably to $67 million; it went even higher, to $70 million. The salary cap for the 2016-17 season might be $90 million. For the season after that, maybe $110 million or more. These days, players that might not have been considered stars are getting what would recently have been star-level deals. John Wall – one of the league’s elite point guards – of the Washington Wizards aired his complaints earlier this week. “I’m getting the same as Reggie Jackson,” he lamented, as quoted by CSN Washington.

Spieth sees course as easier than it will play WANTED: SCRAP METAL • BRITISH OPEN

Continued from page B1 Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Woods – have ever come to Scotland with hopes of a Grand Slam. Spieth knows history, too, as much as he’d rather not think about it until he has no choice. “I like to study the history of golf, and it’s extremely special what this year has brought to our team,” he said. “And to have a chance to do what only one other person in the history of golf has done ... I’m sure embracing that opportunity. “But by the time I start ... it won’t be in my head. It’ll be about how can I bring this Open Championship down

to just another event, get out there and try and get myself into contention.” He set out for his final practice round on a cool morning with an overcast sky, occasional rain, and not much wind. There is plenty of talk about how ready Spieth will be for his shot at history. He played two full rounds and 10 holes leading up to the start today. He played the Old Course four years ago on his way to the Walker Cup. Then again, St. Andrews has rarely been this green, this slow, because of recent rain. That takes some of the roll out of the fairway, and with it the unpredictable nature of links golf. Spieth is the betting favor-

ite, and it didn’t hurt that he won the John Deere Classic on Sunday for his fourth PGA Tour title of the year. Whatever he lost in study by not coming over early, he might have gained in confidence that not much has changed since the U.S. Open. “Coming over earlier certainly could have helped,” he said. “I just liked the fact that I could go somewhere I could play hard, and possibly win a PGA Tour event in preparation. But certainly, more time on this golf course couldn’t ever hurt anybody.” The jet lag hasn’t been a problem. Besides, Spieth won the Australian Open in November, flew straight to Dallas, went to Florida the next

day for the Hero World Challenge, and beat an 18-man field of top 50 players by 10 shots. But this is a full field, and the oldest championship in golf on the links where it all began. “Maybe a slightly bigger stage,” Spieth said. The only concern is the weather. It has been reasonable all week, although the forecast is for wind to increase up to 35 mph with shifting directions. “It seems a little easier than I think it’ll play,” Spieth said. “So I would have liked to see tougher conditions in practice rounds to get used to prevailing winds and wind switches. That’s part of the fun and the adjustment.”

NFL ROUNDUP

Bryant, Thomas sign simliar contracts The ASSOCIATED PRESS IRVING, Texas – Dez Bryant has the long-term contract he said he wouldn’t play without, and the Dallas Cowboys can quit worrying about whether he really would skip games. The All-Pro receiver signed a five-year, $70 million deal Wednesday, after months of posturing from both sides and less than an hour before a deadline that would have required him to play under a one-year agreement. “There was never a doubt in my mind that we wanted a longterm deal with Dez,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. “We just had to get the pot right.” To do that, Jones flew to New York on Tuesday with son and executive vice president Stephen Jones to meet with agent Tom Condon and representatives of Jay Z’s Roc Nation talent agency. The elder Jones said they were up until 3 a.m. Wednesday discussing terms, and he went to bed confident a deal was all but done. A person close to the negotiations provided contract terms to The Associated Press because they weren’t announced. The deal, which includes $45 million in guaranteed money, is similar to one Denver receiver Demaryius Thomas signed about the same time as Bryant. At an average of $14 million annually, Bryant and Thomas are now the second-highest paid receivers behind Detroit’s Calvin Johnson ($16 million). Thomas’s deal is the richest contract in Broncos franchise history and includes $43.5 million guaranteed. Had the sides not hammered out a deal, Thomas would have played this season under the $12,823,000 franchise tag, which still would have been about as much as he’d made in his first five seasons combined. “Thrilled to reach a longterm deal with Demaryius,” general manager John Elway tweeted. “He is one of the NFL’s top WRs & will continue to be a big part of the Broncos’ success!!” That was a far different tone than the last time Elway spoke publicly about Peyton Manning’s top target. It was just before the draft and Elway was asked about Thomas boycotting the team’s offseason program, his only perceived leverage under the franchise tag designation. Wanting Thomas on hand as new coach Gary Kubiak installed his offense, Elway fumed then, “there’s zero value in him not being here.” That was about as unpleasant as things got, however.

SOURCE: CHIEFS, HOUSTON REACH 6-YEAR, $101 MILLION DEAL

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press that the Chiefs and All-Pro linebacker Justin Houston have agreed to a six-year, $101 million contract that includes $52.5 million in guarantees. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity Wednesday because the deal has not been announced. The sides had until late afternoon to work out a deal, otherwise Houston would have played the upcoming season under the franchise tag. The deal is not only the richest in franchise history but also the richest for a linebacker in NFL history.

SOURCE: NO LONG-TERM DEAL FOR JASON PIERRE-PAUL

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – A person close to the negotiations said defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul did not get a new long-term contract deal from the New York Giants ahead of a deadline for players who have franchise tags. The lack of a deal by the Wednesday deadline is not surprising considering PierrePaul’s status has been uncertain since he was hurt in a fireworks accident July 4. The person spoke Wednesday on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the contract situation.

Lebron Carrington, 6, dives into the end zone after high-stepping obstacles while carrying the football Wednesday when the University Village summer program Camp Power visited Huskie Stadium and ran drills with the NIU football team.

Huskies’ Lewis has fun while working with campers • CAMP

Continued from page B1 a dummy, kicking field goals, throwing footballs into bins, diving onto pads and catching passes from Huskies players. However, multiple campers – like Akalah Baker and Theon Jones, both 9, said tackling the dummy was

their favorite part. Hess laughed about a possible reason why. “I guess it’s because it’s OK to jump on something,” she said. “That time they didn’t get in trouble for it.” One of the players helping out was Huskies senior receiver Tommylee Lewis, who seemed to be smiling and having as much fun as the campers.

While University Village is low-income housing in which many of the children are on free- or reduced-lunch programs, Lewis grew up poor in Riviera Beach, Florida, giving him a common bond with the campers. “It always makes it easier when you relate to somebody, regardless of what it is,” Lewis said. “I was in their same situation before.

I know how it is to be a kid – just have fun with somebody that you look up to. This is fun. I’m enjoying it just like they are.” While Hess said the activities side of the day was fun, she appreciated that during the tour of the Yordon Center, NIU assistant athletic director of football operations Matt Lipman had an important message for the

children. “One of the first things they did was tell the kids that if they’re committed and work hard, they could end up playing here,” she said. “There’s always seems to be a lesson tied in. It’s not just coming and playing sports. It takes work to play sports. I’m grateful they shared that message.”

or her latest performance, Kari Frantzen has to think and act like a dog again. That pooch is Snoopy, a beagle world-famous for his sassy thoughts and silly hijinks. “He’s lovable, yet he’s kind of sarcastic,” said Frantzen, 39, of Sandwich. “He really wants to be loved and accepted by everybody, but he wants to think (he’s) Joe Cool ... like he’s too cool to need you.” Frantzen plays the title character in the Indian Valley Theatre’s production of “Snoopy! The Musical” this weekend at the Sandwich Opera House. It’s a fundraiser to help pay for repairs such as painting and plaster work to the aging building at 140 E. Railroad St. in downtown Sandwich. The musical is a sequel to “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” which Indian Valley Theatre performed two years ago. “Snoopy!” consists mostly of vignettes, just like the original Charles M. Schulz comic strips about down-onhis-luck blockhead Charlie Brown that ran from 1950 to 2000. “It takes us through a year in Snoopy’s life, meaning the four seasons,” said Matt Johnson, show director. “It brings in the Easter Beagle, the Great Pumpkin ... they all have appearances in the show.” Although Charlie Brown and company are a gang of precocious youngsters, this production uses actors

Frantzen also played Snoopy in “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” In the play, Snoopy speaks, sometimes even sings, his thoughts, but in the comics his quips were kept in thought bubbles. She said of her costume, “it’s community theater; we try to get creative.” “I have a lightweight zip-up hoodie that has ears sewn to it and has a black spot on the back,” she said. “I bought the hoodie and the felt, then put it all together.” “Snoopy!” includes more than a dozen songs, including “Don’t Be Anything Less Than Anything You Can Be,” which Johnson said is an import-

One of the vignettes recreates the classic Halloween television special “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,” in which Linus plays a major part. “They take that part of the classic Peanuts TV show and make a song out of it,” Pross said. “There’s little snippets of the comics with one-liners, then you go back to the main story.” Like the characters themselves, the Peanuts brand doesn’t seem to age at all, and the appeal is as strong as ever

with “Peanuts” areas in theme parks, merchandise, the classic holidays specials that continue to play on TV each year, and even a brand-new CGI movie coming to theaters this holiday season. “I think it’s just really a classic,” Frantzen said. “The characters are such that anyone can at least relate to one of them, if not multiple characters. Charlie Brown is self-conscious, Lucy is a little outspoken, there’s Linus with his blanket.” Johnson said he hopes the cross-generational appeal will help raise the much-needed funds for the opera house. “Nothing major’s been done over the last 20 years,” he said. “With that being our resident home theater, we need to help keep the funds going.”

Women can be jerks, too. Everyone knows that. And yet in the movies, the female schmuck generally is relegated to side characters. She’s a friend. She’s a villain. She’s never the heroine. In the outdated rulebook of who we get to see on the big screen, leading ladies need to be likable – that tiresome, comedy-killing characteristic. Thank goodness, then for Amy Schumer, the paradigm-busting, enfant terrible who’s there to snap us out of our malaise with one rowdy gal: Amy. Her vehicle, “Trainwreck,” written by and starring Schumer, luxuriates in the idea of selfishness while shifting our antiquated ideas of what we want from a female lead, because, most importantly, it’s very funny. Bawdy, brash and beaming with confidence in every mistake, Amy does not suffer fools gladly or suitors at all. As a young girl, her good time Charlie father (Colin Quinn) instills in her the idea that monogamy is impossible. Or, “monogamy isn’t realistic” as he makes Amy and her even younger sister recite over and over after a conversation comparing partners to dolls. It becomes her mantra. We meet up with her 23 years later, boozing and sleeping her way through Manhattan. Well, not sleeping. She never sleeps over at a man’s place or lets them stay at hers. Amy is pro-pleasure, anti-romance, and just a “modern chick who does what she wants” in gold lamé miniskirts. She’s a self-satisfied mess. Her sister Kim (Brie Larson) has chosen a different route, marrying a sweet, dorky guy (Mike Birbiglia) with a sweet dorky son (Evan Brinkman). Amy pokes fun at them with caustic abandon. Were it not for the great performances from Larson and Birbiglia, the ongoing finger-pointing at Kim’s boring life might just come across as mean. Instead, they

Amy Schumer and Bill Hader star in “Trainwreck.” just accept Amy (with an eye roll). Amy is a true jerk. She’s selfish. She’s rude. And she knows it. It’s an interesting line that the movie skirts for the duration and a testament to Schumer that this mostly unlikable character remains enjoyable to watch. She is fun, but she’s not nice or thoughtful. Nor does she want to be. All this makes it particularly odd that for about 75 percent of the movie this freewheeling character is not only in a relationship, but she’s in a relationship with a really, truly nice guy. Amy’s editor (an excellent, unrecognizable Tilda Swinton) assigns her to profile a successful sport’s doctor Aaron Conners (Bill Hader) for “S’nuff,” a men’s magazine with “Vice” bite. They meet, click, and get down to business after a drunken night out. Pretty soon, and without much of a fight, they’re subway kissing, Brooklyn Bridge-gazing, Central Park carriage-riding, and engaging in other cheesy rom-com tropes that are overlaid with a snarky, self-conscious voiceover from Amy. The biggest surprise about

“Trainwreck” is how conventional Amy’s arc actually is. It’s an eyebrow-raiser that might seem like even more of a cop-out if it weren’t for the magnificent Bill Hader, charming and hilarious even in this straightforward role. LeBron James is a comedic revelation, too, playing himself as a romantic-at-heart best friend to Dr. Conners. With “Trainwreck,” director Judd Apatow has triumphantly exited the depressive bubble that he found himself in with the earnest but flawed “Funny People” and “This is 40.” But, much like those films, “Trainwreck” feels overlong. The meandering third act brings the energy to a near halt, as the film veers into self-reflection territory. It also has one of the limpest movies within a movie ever. And then Apatow sticks the landing with one of the most delightful, side-splitting closings since he “Let the Sunshine In” in “The 40-Year-Old Virgin.” If you’re looking for something radical, you’d be best to stick with Schumer’s television show. “Trainwreck” is just good fun, and a lot of it at that.

Marvel’s ‘Ant-Man’ is smaller but still not fun size By JAKE COYLE The Associated Press If ever there was a sworn devotee – a chanting, face-painted worshipper – of the Big, it is Marvel. So the prospect that AntMan, the miniscule Mighty Mouse of Marvel’s stable of powerhouses, might join the brawny big-screen ranks of the Hulk, Thor and the rest has long held some pleasing irony. But that enticement – Oh, if it was something different! – went out the helicarrier window when, just weeks before shooting was to commence, Edgar Wright, the British blender of genre and comedy who had worked on the project for eight years, departed over “creative differences” — a sacrifice, seemingly, to the Marvel colossus. The precise source of the dispute is unknown, but it’s clear enough from the final product, pushed forward with the quick insertion of director Peyton Reed (“Bring it On,” ‘’The Break-Up”) and a rewrite by Adam McKay and others, that “Ant-Man” became bedeviled with staying true to its more modest size and idiosyncratic nature, and with the larger, blander demands of being a Marvel movie complete with superhero cameos and (optimistic) sequel set-ups. The result is a film not quite sure of itself, like it’s wearing clothes a size too big. Paul Rudd plays Scott Lang, a politically motivated cat burglar being released after three years in San

Paul Rudd stars as Scott Lang/Ant-Man in Marvel’s “Ant-Man.” Quentin. He has an ethnically diverse group of petty criminal friends: Tip “T.I.” Harris, David Dastmalchian and Michael Pena, the only actor rightly convinced he’s in a comedy. Lang is trying to right himself for the sake of his young daughter, Cassie (Abby Ryder Forston), and for paying child support to his exwife (Judy Greer, an actress too good to be twice relegated to the domestic sidelines in this summer’s blockbusters). But spryness (an essential quality for any movie about an insect superhero)

or any much purpose, at all, is missing from these scenes. The movie is too controlled for Rudd’s goofball charm – best on display when simply standing in front of a mirror (“Wanderlust”) or animated about music (“I Love You, Man”) – to break free. Through some strained plot mechanics, Lang is recruited by the original AntMan, the scientist Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), to succeed him in the suit. Along with his daughter (a bob-sporting Evangeline Lilly), he’s conspiring to prevent a former

apprentice (Corey Stoll) from unlocking the atomic secrets that led to Ant-Man in the first place: the ability to shrink down to bug-size, yet maintain strength. Somewhere in Wonderland, Alice is tapping her foot. With the press of a button, he can toggle between big and small, and appear all but invisible when tiny. The perspective change allows for some unlikely superhero foes, like a bathtub drain. During training, while Lang tries to perfect his communication with other underground ants,

he sometimes pops out of the ground like a sprouted cabbage. With a screenplay cred-

ited to Wright, Joe Cornish, McKay and Rudd, “Ant-Man” unfolds in pleasingly human-sized fashion. It’s a heist movie. Not one city is leveled; it’s like Marvel has gone on a diet. But it’s only in the climactic scenes where the movie unlocks the antic potential of its shape-shifting. Rather than taking place above the skyline of a metropolis, the big action scenes are set inside a briefcase and in Cassie’s bedroom. Such moments, sprinkled throughout, are like glimpses of a better “Ant-Man” that might have existed. Change, we are told, is afoot in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “Ant-Man” is the final movie in the studio’s “Phase Two,” with promises of bigger, intergalactic battles looming in “Phase Three.” But as a parent might say, it’s just a phase. Because you have to squint pretty hard to spot the differences from Marvel movie to Marvel movie. If “Ant-Man” proves anything, it’s that any diversion in this universe is likely to get stomped underfoot.

4 ADVICE & PUZZLES • Thursday, July 16, 2015 • Section C • Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

Teacher and heroin addict share a ‘crazy chemistry’ Dear Abby: I’m a 24-year-old teacher and graduate student. I have started dating a new man, “Winston,” who makes me feel incredible. We have crazy chemistry like I’ve never had before, and our personalities work perfectly together. Here’s the problem. Winston is a recovering heroin addict with horrible credit and two felony charges related to having stolen money from his parents when he was desperate for drugs. I know what you’re thinking – I’d be an idiot for dating someone like this, right? But Winston and I have had heartfelt talks and he revealed a troubled upbringing that helped me understand where his addiction came from. He’s

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips in a rehab program to try to get his life together. I’ve dated a lot of guys. All I’ve ever wanted is someone who will give me “butterflies” for the rest of my life, and Winston may be the guy. He’s attentive, affectionate and loving. He treats me like a princess. I understand his past will cause financial strain. Isn’t it more important to have a man who treats me right than one with a lot of earning potential? Please give me some advice. – Dream

Come true in New Jersey Dear Dream: You have been

seeing Winston for how long? Has he completed his rehab and been able to maintain his sober lifestyle for a long enough time that the chances are it will continue? Few things are as exciting as infatuation – every one of our senses is heightened. You say you feel “butterflies,” but what if you wind up with only a moth-eaten carpet? This is not to say that Winston isn’t a wonderful person – many former addicts can be. However, I think it’s premature for you to consider a future with him until you are sure about his stability. Dear Abby: My widowed 86-year-old mom was living by herself. My unmarried sister, “Anne,” has become ill and has moved in with Mom.

Anne wanted a dog. At first Mom was against it because they both have cats, but she finally gave in and Anne got a year-old beagle mix from the dog rescue. I have been afraid of dogs since I was little. My family knows this. Usually, once I get to know a dog I’m OK, and I have had several of my own. But this animal has abandonment and abuse issues. He’s very aggressive and barks, growls and lunges at anyone who comes into the house. It makes me afraid, so I have quit visiting and hardly ever drop by. Mom and Anne have very little control over the dog. I worry that in an emergency – whether for Mom or Anne –- the EMTs would not be able

to get past the animal. What can I do? – Scared in Iowa Dear Scared: Explain to them that not all emergency medical technicians (EMTs) have been formally trained to handle unruly or vicious animals, and precious time might be lost. If your sister or mother wasn’t around to control the dog and the EMTs were unable to lure it to another room, animal control would have to be summoned or a neighbor found who could assist, and the consequences could be serious. Then cross your fingers that nothing bad happens.

Prevent Lyme disease by avoiding tick environments Dear Dr. K: A young pop singer who battled Lyme disease was recently on the cover of People magazine. I know it’s silly, but if a celebrity can get a disease, I feel I’m more vulnerable. What should I do to protect myself and my family? Dear Reader: Lyme disease is a serious illness that can have lasting effects. Fortunately, there are many things you can do to protect yourself. Lyme disease is an infection caused by bacteria that live inside insects (primarily deer ticks). When the ticks bite us, the bacteria enter our bodies. Deer ticks are very small, about the size of a poppy seed. (I’ve put an illustration of a tick on my website, www.

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff askdoctork.com.) The first symptom of Lyme disease is a rash that spreads from the site of the tick bite. The rash looks like a bull’s-eye. In the center is a red spot where the bite was, then a pale area around that spot. Outside of that, a wavy red circle grows larger with time. Other early symptoms can include fever, muscle and joint aches, fatigue, headache and a severe stiff neck. In the days to weeks after the tick bite, Lyme disease can cause more serious problems.

These include infection of the lining of the brain and spinal cord, irregular heart rhythms, arthritis, and problems with memory and concentration. Lyme disease is treated with antibiotics. Most people feel better after treatment, but some people have ongoing fatigue or joint swelling. It’s best to do what you can to prevent Lyme disease. In the United States, it is most common in the Northeast and Midwest. If you are in one of these regions: • Avoid environments where ticks live: moist, often shady, wooded areas with leaves, low-lying plants and shrubs.

• Avoid woods, high brush and grasses where ticks hide. • Stay in the sun. Ticks don’t like dry, open areas. • Wear light-colored clothing, which makes ticks easier to spot. • Wear long pants and long sleeves. Tuck your pants inside your socks to create a physical barrier. • Apply insect repellent containing 20 percent or more of DEET to your skin. • Thoroughly inspect yourself, your children and your pets after you’ve been out in the woods. If you do spot a tick, remove it. Use a pair of fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to your skin as possible.

Pull it upward, slowly and steadily. Dispose of the tick by placing it in alcohol or flushing it down the toilet. If the tick is swollen, or if you develop a rash at the site of your tick bite, see your doctor for treatment. And if you’ve been in an environment that could have exposed you to ticks, and a rash develops that looks anything like what I’ve described, contact your doctor – even if you never saw a tick. Sometimes the tick is gone before you notice the rash it caused.

Children, teenagers are vulnerable to their teachers Dr. Wallace: Please remind the teachers who read your column, “To teach is to touch a life forever.” Children, especially teenagers, are vulnerable to the teachers they encounter. When teachers allow their feelings, personal problems and/or other external factors to influence their relationship with a student, the consequence can cause irreparable damage to the student’s self-esteem and emotional well-being. Children possess a keen sense of justice and fairness and are quick to recognize inequity, even though their response may be in terms of unacceptable behavior. As educators we must remember that despite their size and bombastic rhetoric, adoles-

They are not perfect, they have frequent lapses of responsibility and they are quite capable of childish mischief. My career in education has offered me thousands of opportunities to touch the lives of students. I have enjoyed the best and endured the worst, from the top honor student to a student with a prison record who would grab the attention of even the most hardened adult.

understanding is essential if we are to bolster the courage to choose judiciously. Teenagers desperately need adults on whom they can rely for models of integrity, wisdom, tolerance, consistency and perseverance in the face of adversity. The counterparts surround adolescents and can be inordinately attractive to young minds. Teachers who interact with teenagers regularly must be attuned to the silent cries from them. We must recognize the mountains and the molehills and be certain our responses are appropriate. I implore all educators to examine themselves carefully. If the motivation to teach lacks an appreciation for the struggles that bombard

CROSSWORD

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

Preference leads to a promotion Jo Brand, an English comedian, writer and TV personality, said, “My preference is swimming in the sea. I find the sea is more liberating, wild and good fun, rather than plodding up and down a pool.” There is a preference signal in bridge that sometimes makes a player feel like he is flailing in a heavy surf. This week we are showing him how to swim safely ashore. Sometimes, though, two good plays are required – as in today’s deal. Look at the North and East hands. South is in four hearts. West leads the club three. How should East plan the defense? South has a minimum for his two-heart response; and remember that it guarantees at least a five-card suit. With only four hearts, South would make a negative double and hope for the best. Based on the point-count, East should realize his partner has nothing. East must hope his partner has led a singleton. So, East wins with his club ace and returns the club jack, his highest asking for a shift to spades, the higher-ranking of the other two side suits. But after West ruffs at trick two and returns the spade nine to East’s ace, what does East do next? East should lead a low club. When South covers with his eight, West will be forced to ruff with the heart four, which promotes East’s queen as the setting trick. Brilliant. Note finally that even if West unexpectedly holds the diamond king, declarer would win a trick-four diamond switch with his ace, draw trumps, and discard his diamond losers on dummy’s spade winners.
