Referendum sought on townships Activist Bob Anderson wants advisory vote in Nov. on eliminating them By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com Emboldened by Evanston voters’ decision to eliminate their township, longtime township opponent Bob Anderson sees an opening. Anderson, of Wonder Lake, is asking all 24 members of the McHenry County Board to put an advisory referendum on the Nov. 4 ballot to voters in six townships asking whether their particular township should be abolished. The six town-

ships he chose – McHenry, Nunda, Algonquin, Grafton, Dorr and Burton – are predominantly covered by municipalities. The ballot box is a tactic that An-

derson has tried before – voters shot down his 1998 referendum to abolish McHenry Township by a 3-to-1 margin, as well as a 1994 referendum that sought to eliminate townships by changing to a county commissioner form of government. But Anderson said much has since changed, not counting increasingly frustrated taxpayers: State lawmakers have created a mechanism by which one township could eliminate itself and pass on its services without hassle, and voters took advantage of it.

And the elimination of Evanston Township, too, started with an advisory referendum. While it was a special case – the entire township is covered by the City of Evanston – Anderson sees townships that are mostly covered by municipal boundaries as the next logical progression. “I’m confident. I’m confident that [the County Board] will get it to the voters,” Anderson said. There are 1,432 townships spread

The motorcycle was traveling west on Algonquin Road when it collided with a 2010 Ford sedan at the intersection of Algonquin Road and Lake Street, said Sgt. Ted Ziarkowski, of the Lake in the Hills Police Department. The Ford was in the eastbound Algonquin Road turn lane and making a left-hand turn onto Lake Street, Ziarkowski said. Authorities responded to the call at 3:38 p.m. Monday. The man driving the motorcycle was taken by ambulance to Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin, where he was pronounced dead, Ziarkowski said. His name is being withheld until family members are notified. The driver of the Ford was treated at the scene and released. Neither vehicle was carrying passengers, Ziarkowski said. Westbound Algonquin Road from Lake Street to Hanson Road/Hilltop Drive was closed Monday afternoon while crews cleared the scene and police investigated. It has since reopened.

Prices continue upward trend Blend, demand, cost of crude oil add up for customers at the pump By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com Summer travelers might want to load up the Prius rather than the pickup for their weekend road trips. Gas prices have risen steadily in recent months and show no signs of letting up this summer, experts say. “In April, we saw prices rise due to the switch to the summer blend of gasoline,” said Beth Mosher, spokeswoman for AAA Chicago. “Now, we’re seeing prices rise due to summer demand.” Prices for a gallon of gas in McHenry County were typically within a dime of $4 on Monday. Most gas stations had priced fuel short of $4, but significantly above the national average of $3.65 a gallon. In Chicago, gas was $4.24 a gallon on average Monday, according to AAA. But while the price is up from the winter months, experts maintain the rise isn’t out of the ordinary for this time of year. The national average a year

There were winners in last Springfield session There were lots and lots of losers during the state legislative session which ended last month, but there were a few winners, so let’s take a look at them. First up, Republican gubernatorial nominee Bruce Rauner. Never before has a political party nominated a gubernatorial candidate who’s had more impact on a legislative session than Rauner did this year. The gazillionaire’s unlimited supply of money and his constant threats to “shake up Springfield” clearly put legislators of both parties on edge all spring – going back to even before he won the primary. The Democrats surely know in their guts that much of what Rauner says about Springfield ain’t false. The long-entrenched powers that be stifle innovation and prevent actual compromise. Why wasn’t a scaled back income tax increase ever once debated? Because the top dogs didn’t want to talk about it. End of story. House Speaker Michael Madigan introduced numerous pieces of legislation designed with Rauner in mind, including a tax surcharge on millionaires, which ended up as a nonbinding question on the November ballot. Rauner railed repeatedly against extending the income tax hike, and Democrats had to back off. Instead, they opted to punt the ball until after

LOTTERY

VIEWS Rich Miller the election. If Rauner had lost the primary to a weaker Republican, odds are that the tax hike extension would’ve had a better chance of passage. Of course, if Rauner goes on to defeat Gov. Pat Quinn, the massive fiscal hole the General Assembly has created will be his problem – which ultimately makes him a loser as well. Rauner became almost a shadow governor this spring. His hand was seen everywhere. Cook County pension reform failed, many say, because Rauner pushed against it. The $1.1 billion end of session road construction/ repair bill was reportedly only agreed to by Republicans after Rauner OK’d it, hoping to please the GOP-leaning road builders. Senate President John Cullerton was another winner. The Senate president’s electoral prowess meant once again that he could do pretty much anything he wanted. His 40 Democratic votes out of 59 total Senate seats gave him enough cushion to sit back and watch while Speaker Michael Madigan struggled all year to deal with his own, smaller super-majority.

Cullerton stood his ground on the budget when the income tax increase extension fell apart and made sure his members’ top interests were taken care of, particularly with a small Medicaid expansion. He pushed back when Madigan tried to muscle through a major change in the way the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum was administrated. He stood firm when pushed by Madigan to insert a requirement into the reauthorization of the court-stricken state eavesdropping law to require police to wear body cameras. He muscled through an innovative bill with his former chief of staff Sen. Andy Manar to fundamentally alter the way education is funded in Illinois. And out of all the Democrats under the dome, he appeared to be the least rattled by Rauner’s primary win. Cullerton might not always have made the best decisions (particularly when it came to ultimately killing the eavesdropping bill), but he appears to be coming into his own as a far more confident leader. Republican legislators did pretty well, too. The weekend after the session ended, Kendall County Young Republican Chairman Brian Russell was busily scurrying to get himself onto the November ballot. He needed to collect 1,000 valid petition signatures

in only three days to be appointed as the challenger to Sen. Linda Holmes, D-Aurora. Russell said he hadn’t heard it, but word was that Team Rauner had pledged six figures to back Russell’s candidacy. Holmes’ district is pretty solidly Democratic, but this does show you why legislative Republicans have strutted around with renewed confidence since the March primary. They finally have a candidate at the top of the ticket who will not only give the Democrats a run for their money, but who will ensure that their own candidates have enough cash to compete. Holmes wasn’t even on the Republicans’ radar. They simply didn’t have the resources to challenge her. But if Rauner wins this November, Republican legislators will have to do something completely different – vote for some pretty distasteful things to support their GOP governor or risk his considerable ire. For more than a decade, the Republicans often sat back and hit their red buttons when it came time to pass important bills. But they’ll finally have to help govern if Rauner is in the mansion. That spectacle right there would almost be worth seeing Rauner win.

LOCAL BRIEFS CL man gets probation for soliciting sex act WOODSTOCK – A 75-yearold Crystal Lake man admitted to allegations that he propositioned a teenage boy for sex, and was ordered to complete a year of probation. John W. Giesing pleaded guilty Monday to a reduced charge of disorderly conduct. Assistant State’s Attorney Dave Johnston said that in May 2013, Giesing offered a 16-year-old boy $20 to perform a sex act on him. The boy – whom police have said was selling newspaper subscriptions – now lives out of state, Johnston said. At the time of his arrest, police said, Giesing admitted to investigators that he offered the teen money to perform a sexual act. Giesing initially was charged with a felony for soliciting the minor, but prosecutors agreed to reduce the charge to a Class A misdemeanor. Disorderly conduct is punishable by up to a year in the county jail, a fine of $2,500 or both. His guilty plea was accepted by McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather. Giesing won’t have to register as a sex offender, but Prather ordered him to undergo a sex-offender specific evaluation, and follow any treatment requirements. He also must pay a $500 fine.

The village’s police department plans to equip officers with the electronic control weapons. Adding the additional level of use of force is set to cost the village about $10,750, accord-

ing to Police Chief Patrick Finlon. After training, the department will have seven units. The costs also include the battery packs, holsters and data packs, among other things. According to a Cary Police Department survey, officers in Algonquin, Fox River Grove, Crystal Lake and McHenry have Tasers. “The use of [electronic con-

trol weapons] has become an industry standard and with a properly developed policy and training in the area of tactics,

court decisions and policy, the introduction of ECWs can reduce the possibility of injury to both law enforcement and offenders and thereby reduce exposure to the municipality,” Finlon wrote in a village memo. Finlon added the department chose to go with Tasers because the weapons are effective and other agencies use them.

“TASER definitely has the lion[’s] share of the market,” Finlon said. Finlon said he expects to have officers equipped with Tasers within 30 to 45 days. Training for officers will include how to use the weapon, when to use the weapon, and a review of case law and state law.

Area water rescue boats patrol the area of Pistakee Lake where a 49-year-old man was pulled after he was submerged for nearly 45 minutes Sunday. By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com The McHenry County Coroner’s Office on Monday identified the person who drowned Sunday in Pistakee Lake as a Melrose Park man. William L. Trybula, 49, drowned while swimming in the lake Sun-

day, according to an autopsy, the coroner’s office said. Toxicology results are pending. Trybula was pulled out of the lake by firefighters after being underwater for nearly 45 minutes. He had no pulse and was not breathing. He was later pronounced dead at Centegra Hospital – McHenry.

The accident happened about 300 feet off shore. Trybula and a friend decided to jump out of their 23-foot Baja boat while it was not anchored, the McHenry Township Fire Protection District has said. The wind picked up and pushed the boat away from both swimmers, firefighters said. The friend made

it back to the boat, while Trybula never resurfaced, firefighters said. A third friend attempted to start the boat, but it wouldn’t start and drifted closer to shore. Firefighters from Fox Lake, Barrington, Cary, Crystal Lake, Fox River Grove, Grayslake, Lake Zurich, Wauconda and Woodstock assisted in the rescue effort.

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Cheryl Grouzard’s father was never fond of chairs. Grouzard, daughter of Harold Krecker, Crystal Lake’s first ever full-time firefighter, remembered her father Monday during a wake that brought family, friends and firefighters from all over McHenry County together at Davenport Funeral Home. Krecker, who died Saturday at 88 years old, was instrumental in transitioning the Crystal Lake Fire Department from a volunteer station to a 24-hour operation staffed by full-time and paid on-call personnel. He became the department’s first fulltime member and, in 1965, he was appointed chief. He

served for 20 years. Grouzard said her father had a relentless work ethic that also saw him have a lengthy career at a local auto shop. “I don’t think I saw him sit down until he was in his 70s,” Grouz a r d j o k e d .

a mechanic, service manager and salesman at Ormsby’s for nearly 60 years even with a break from the shop during his time as chief, retiring at 70 years old. Jeri Crandall, Krecker’s longtime companion, said Krecker was so attached to Crystal Lake he wanted to come back to live in the community three years ago when he got sick. “Even when he was home sick under hospice the fire department was there,” Crandall said of the bond. “Through all of this the fire department has been so much help; just awesome.” Funeral services will be Tuesday at 11 a.m. at Immanuel Lutheran Church on 178 McHenry Ave. in Crystal Lake. Interment will follow at Union Cemetery.

In all, he dedicated 34 years of service to the department before retiring in 1985. “He touched so many lives,” Grouzard said. “A lot of [the firefighters] were the sons he never had.” While he was a beloved and integral figure at the fire department, he also was a community-wide staple. Krecker interacted with plenty of residents as he was hired at Dwight Ormsby’s downtown auto shop at the young age of 15.

Biggest consumer shift Aug. 18 is advisory referendum deadline • REFERENDUM comes at $4 a gallon Continued from page A1

• GAS PRICES Continued from page A1 their plans, he added. And the biggest changes come at the $4 a gallon threshold. The national average hit that mark in 2008. “It’s more of a psychological impact,” Sriraj said. “It seems to turn people away when they say, ‘Oh, gosh, it’s $4 a gallon.’ ” Sriraj didn’t expect that number would be reached nationally this summer. Higher prices haven’t impacted summer travel plans yet, according to a AAA study. Three out of four Illinois residents plan to take a trip of at least 50 miles in the next three months, the study found.

Darrellyn Hanes, who owns the travel agency Worldwide Traveler in McHenry, said that those who aren’t fond of flying have increasingly looked to the rail system as an alternative. “With the gas prices being so high, if they don’t want to fly they are looking at Amtrak,” Hanes said.

out among 85 of the state’s 102 counties. Supporters of township government call it the most localized and direct form of democracy available to taxpayers, providing needed services. Opponents like Anderson call it an anachronism, rife with nepotism and patronage, that has created services in order to justify its continued existence. While Article 7, Section 5 of the Illinois Constitution allows townships to be abolished either individually or countywide by popular vote, the only mechanism codified in state law provides for eliminating all townships within a county. The mechanism pushed by Evanston state Sen. Daniel Biss applied only to Evanston Township. Evanston Township was one of 20 “coterminous townships” in Illinois, meaning their boundaries fall com-

pletely within a municipality’s boundaries. In Evanston’s case, the city’s mayor and aldermen serve as the township board, but the township has an elected supervisor and assessor. Evanston’s voters in 2011 approved an advisory referendum in favor of dissolving the township. Biss, a Democrat, first filed a bill that would have allowed voters in any township to force a binding referendum abolishing it with the signatures of at least 10 percent of its registered voters. But the bill ran into trouble with Township Officials of Illinois, a powerful Springfield lobbying group. When it was clear Biss did not have the votes to pass it, he amended the bill to apply to only five of the state’s coterminous townships, but he still did not have the votes. He amended it again to apply only to Evanston Township and it passed, over the maintained objections of the lobbying group.

Evanston Township voters approved dissolution in the March primary, and the township’s existence ended May 1. Anderson said a strong showing in advisory referendums could influence state lawmakers to create a mechanism for abolishing townships consisting mostly of municipal territory. But county officials, while they may approve the advisory referendums, have historically opposed the idea on the grounds of having to absorb such functions as general assistance and more road miles to maintain. At least one township supervisor was unimpressed by Anderson’s latest effort. Algonquin Township Supervisor Dianne Klemm called the advisory referendums another attempt at “his purpose in life, as far as he’s concerned, and that’s ridding the county of townships.” “He can go ahead, and the voters will answer him.

have a lot of work here. If he ever came here, he’d see that. I can’t afford to worry about Bob Anderson. He’s too far out for me,” Klemm said. Unlike his previous endeavors, Anderson has had success with advisory referendums. He successfully got the County Board to put an advisory referendum on the November 2012 ballot asking whether people should be allowed to hold more than one elected office simultaneously – state law in many circumstances allows elected officials to hold multiple offices at the same time. About 90 percent of voters agreed that elected officials should be limited to only one. The township form of government is used in 20 states, from New England through the Midwest. No states in the South or West have townships. Local governments have until Aug. 18 to put advisory referendums on the November ballot.

care appointment was 38 days at the Marion VA Medical center, 33 days for patients at Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital outside Chicago and 41 days at the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center in Chicago. The James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in North Chicago had a wait time of slightly more than 14 days. Abandoned VA guidelines said veterans should be seen within 14 days of their desired date for a primary care appointment. The department has since said that meeting that target was unattainable given existing resources and growing demand. Monday’s audit by the VA called the 2011 decision by senior VA officials to set it, and then basing bonuses on meeting the target, an “organizational leadership fail-

ure.” Nationwide, the audit found that more than 57,000 patients were awaiting initial medical appointments 90 days or more after requesting them, and an additional 64,000 who enrolled in the system over the past decade had never had appointments. It blamed the VA’s complicated appointment process, saying it created confusion among scheduling clerks and supervisors. Some 73 patients at Illinois’ five key VA sites still hadn’t gotten appointments at least three months after requesting them, with the Lovell Federal Health Care Center in North Chicago accounting for 50 of those patients, the audit showed. Of the nearly 900 patients who enrolled in the VA sys-

tem but never had appointments at those Illinois sites, 494 of them involved the Marion VA, according to the audit. Messages left Monday with a spokeswoman for the Marion site were not immediately returned. Democratic U.S. Rep. Bill Enyart, after privately visiting with Marion VA staff and patients last week, attributed any delayed care at that site at least partly to staffing shortages, noting that the medical center is working to recruit 200 additional full-time employees. “I’m pleased to see the overall quality of care here at Marion,” Enyart said then. “But there’s always room for improvement. I can’t speak to the entire VA system, but efforts are being made here at Marion for improved care.”

Police chief: Tasers an alternative to deadly force Some 73 patients at Ill. VA sites have not had treatment • TASERS Continued from page A3 Finlon added that officers also will discuss how to treat people who have had a Taser used on them. When officers use a Taser on a subject, two barbs are shot from a cartridge and an electrical charge is transmitted down wires to incapacitate the subject, Finlon said. The barbs are embedded in the skin and can be taken out. If there are any lingering effects, officers would call for medical treatment, Finlon said. Whenever an officer in the department uses force above hands-on, the officer already is required to submit a “use of force” report, which is reviewed by police administra-

“This would be another force option designed to assist the police officers being able to perform their job safely.” Patrick Finlon Cary police chief on Tasers

tion. “Those processes are in place to ensure the tool is used correctly,” Finlon said. Finlon said having the option of using a Taser would be an alternative to officers using deadly force. “This would be another force option designed to assist the police officers being able to perform their job safely,” Finlon said.

• VETERANS Continued from page A1 Illinois’ five major VA medical centers. The audit of 731 hospitals and outpatient clinics – based on a snapshot of VA data as of May 15 – follows allegations that 40 patients died awaiting care at a Phoenix hospital where employees kept a secret waiting list to cover up delays. It’s a report that Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk said is proof of a “pretty toxic culture of corruption” throughout the department. His Democratic colleague, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, called the news both “troubling” and “unacceptable.” The audit shows the average wait time for a primary

D-300 transfers funds, corrects accounting error By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – The District 300 board Monday transferred $8.3 million from other areas into the education fund, correcting a property tax accounting error that had gone unnoticed for eight years. Officials from the Carpentersville-based school district stressed that the district doesn’t lose any money with the transfers. The board’s unanimous move ensures that each operating fund in the district correctly has the recorded property tax amount, said

Chief Financial Officer Susan Harkin. “We had to transfer our levy dollars from one fund to another, but they weren’t necessarily recording it right in the last eight years,” Harkin said. In January, the board finance committee was made aware of the accounting discrepancy after Harkin spotted it nearly a year-and-a-half into her tenure as District 300’s CFO. The $8.3 million transferred from the district’s transportation, and operation and maintenance funds corrects a discrepancy made

“We had to transfer our levy dollars from one fund to another, but they weren’t necessarily recording it right in the last eight years.” Susan Harkin, District 300 Chief Financial Officer from the “complication and timing” of how the numerous counties within District 300’s territory extends property taxes, Harkin said. After setting levies in April, Kane and McHenry counties typically will readjust District 300’s property taxes in the summer to reflect Cook County’s final numbers

for the district, Harkin said. Unlike Kane and McHenry counties, Cook County finalizes levies in June. The timing of those readjustments caused District 300 to “over-record” $4.6 million in the education fund this tax year and “under-record in other funds,” Harkin said. The fund transfers made

Monday corrects the books. The remaining transfer satisfies a board policy that stipulates each operating fund have at least 25 percent of its expenditures in reserves. The education fund before the board’s move had about 5 percent while other funds were above the threshold, Harkin said. In other business, new CEO Fred Heid unveiled a proposed format change to the district board meetings one week into his tenure. During its next meeting June 23, the board will look at possible meeting dates for

a new “workshop,” Heid said. The workshops would take place two weeks before regularly-scheduled board meetings and allow members to ask Heid and staff questions about forthcoming agenda items. It would not replace the district’s existing board committees, like a committee of the whole would do. “It’s intended to expedite the board meetings but also make sure I’m doing my due diligence to the board in providing them adequate time and information, so they can make informed decisions,” Heid said.

LOCAL BRIEFS Legee Elementary raises $10K during cancer event HUNTLEY – Students from Legee Elementary recently raised more than $10,000 for the Bear Necessities Pediatric Cancer Foundation during the school’s first-ever “Cut Out Cancer” event. Students reached certain fundraising goals to have people within the District 158 community shave their heads, as a way to support cancer patients who have underwent chemotherapy. Legee art teacher Cindy Rick organized the cancer event after seeing children in Huntley who had undergone cancer treatment. By raising $10,132 for the foundation, students watched Legee Principal Scott Iddings, staff members, area police and firefighters have their heads shaved.

SKETCH VIEW

Court ruling a victory for public access No one should have been surprised by a recent ruling of the Illinois Supreme Court that found the offices of state’s attorneys to be part of the executive branch of state government. We cannot imagine it shocked even the judges of the appellate court that had decided, through some creative legal gymnastics, that state’s attorneys were a part of the judicial branch and, thus, not subject to transparency under the Freedom of InformaFor the record tion Act. Every school If legislators want to tackle child who studies a real problem, we suggest American govern- they look into the conflicts ment learns that inherent in state’s attorneys the U.S. attorney being responsible for counselgeneral heads the ing county officials on public Justice Departaccess laws while also having ment and, in his the responsibility to prosecute role in the exviolators of those laws. ecutive branch of government, is a trusted member of the cabinet of the president, the nation’s chief executive. Likewise, federal prosecutors in the Justice Department are also appointed by the president. So it was unlikely a lower court in the Illinois judiciary was going to reorganize American democracy. The appellate court had acted on a 2010 case involving the Kendall County state’s attorney, who had disingenuously argued he was not subject to Illinois’ FOIA even though he had, some time earlier, appointed a staff member to handle requests for public records. One Illinois state’s attorney – Whiteside County’s Trish Joyce – decried the Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling because it “substantially impairs our ability to effectively prosecute cases.” She called on the Legislature to rewrite the public records law to exempt state’s attorneys. We believe her fears are unfounded and that the law provides adequate protection to avoid jeopardizing pending criminal investigations. Frankly, we have been disappointed at the eagerness with which some state’s attorneys latched onto the appellate decision to shut down access to their records – even for criminal cases that had been closed. The threat their stonewalling posed to open government was compounded by the dual role that state’s attorneys serve in Illinois – as both chief prosecutor and primary legal counsel to county government. If legislators want to tackle a real problem, we suggest they look into the conflicts inherent in state’s attorneys being responsible for counseling county officials on public access laws while also having the responsibility to prosecute violators of those laws. That unfortunate conflict has seen state’s attorneys – more than once – give their public clients bad advice on the Open Meetings Act. Sad, but true. We hope they are equally enthusiastic about more transparency now that the Supreme Court has found that “there is no sense ... in which state’s attorneys can be regarded as part of the judiciary or the judicial branch.” May the public be pleasantly surprised.

Power of the people This Congress has been one of the most ineffective of the past half-century. It doesn’t just feel like that: A recent Brookings Institution report found that 75 percent of important congressional issues are caught in gridlock. A proposed extension of unemployment benefits is one of the victims, passed by the Senate this year in a bipartisan compromise that included Rob Portman but was blocked in the House by Speaker John Boehner. That’s the bad news – especially for the millions of families with a wage-earner out of work for more than 26 weeks. The opportunity for us here in greater Cincinnati and northern Kentucky is that many key players in this legislative fight and others actually answer to us. Boehner, a West Chester Republican, has many masters, but at the end of the day it’s the 726,000 people in his 8th Congressional District who decide whether he stays in Washington. Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky is minority leader in the other chamber, and GOP Sens. Portman and Rand Paul are also prominent there. Constituents should speak up – at the ballot box and through regular contact with their representatives – if they want Congress to do something. Yes, it’s a game of numbers. One call or email might not change the course of history, but many people acting individually can. Gridlock exists only because we allow it to. The Cincinnati Enquirer

AMENDMENT

ACA numbers To the Editor: Letter-writer Chris Odea (“Obamacare working,” June 1) claims of the 8 million people who have bought insurance through the Affordable Care Act, 90 percent have paid their premiums. Several weeks ago, I read an article in the Northwest Herald that reported only 62 percent made their first premium payment. Hope someone can give us the correct information. Ninety percent is good; 62 percent looks like trouble down the road. David Howard Marengo

Sentence a slap in face To the Editor: An article in the June 3 Northwest Herald had a headline of “10th DUI nets 8 years for Wisconsin man.” He will not be serving eight years. The article reads as follows: “[Duane] Whiting ... faced between six and 30 years in prison on aggravated driving under the influence charge to which he pleaded guilty. ... In exchange for Whiting’s guilty plea, all other remaining drug and traffic offenses – including possession of controlled substance and driving on a revoked license – were dropped. ... Whiting

will receive credit for 333 days served, and is eligible for day-forday credit, meaning he could be released in about three years. His prison sentence is followed by three years of parole.” Why would Judge Sharon Prather accept the plea deal he made? I guess he has not killed anyone yet. Once that happens, it is too late for the innocent people he takes out. Perhaps I am a little sensitive on this subject since a six-time repeat drunk driver killed my 45-year-old father and 18-year-old sister. The drunk driver in their case escaped without serious injury. Whiting’s sentence is a slap in the face to law enforcement personnel and the people of this state. We need to get the drunks off the road before they kill someone. Sandra Leah Vander Linden Crystal Lake

IT’S YOUR WRITE

Now, was that so hard? A lovely Ellen Kooijmandesigned “Research Institute” of female scientist minifigurines doing cool science things will be a set of Legos soon, the Danish toymaker announced, after it gained enthusiastic support in the Lego Ideas online competition. This was a long time coming. The gender ratio in Legoland is badly skewed. On the one hand, female Legos who want to date have the pick of the male Lego litter, able to choose from pirates and firefighters and police officers and Lego everymen. A female 4, in Legoland, might as well be a 10. On the other hand, their options for professions are oddly limited. They are, in most cases, obliged to behead a male figurine if they wish to pursue a career similar to his. Otherwise, they are reduced to sitting around baking, being mermaids or hanging out with the alarmingly tall and indolent female Lego Friends. This seems like an untenable state of affairs. But now the first step has been made. And the designer of the winning “Research Institute” has a number of other

VIEWS Alexandra Petri swank designs if these take off. Now that Lego is acquiescing to our requests, the sky is the limit. Women aren’t just scientists, after all. As long as we’re at it, we might as well try: • Lego Supreme Court Justice (get some of that exciting ruffle action!): Equip this lady with a gavel and let her set precedents for the rest of your toys. Be sure to confirm her only after months of speculation about her personal life. • Lego Anna Karenina: Great addition to any train set. • Lego Marie Antoinette: Splurge on your kids and get them the entire French Revolution Lego set (all those detachable heads have to be good for something), including a Lego Marie Antoinette with cake accessory. • Lego “Orange is the New Black” set: OK, the inmates aren’t exactly role models, but one creative soul did make a “Breaking Bad” set, so there’s precedent. Build your own rep-

lica of the cafeteria or re-create a memorable scene from the chapel. Maybe don’t give them to your kids, though. • Lego Lean-In Lady: Comes complete with a copy of “Lean In,” which the Lego Lean-In Lady has not actually read, even though she knows her book club of fellow Lego Lady Employees is supposed to be discussing it really soon. Then again, the Lego book does not have pages, so it is difficult to do much with it other than carry it around. • Lego Journalist Lady: With her notebook, recorder and sensible footwear, she can track down sources and submit Freedom of Information Act requests all day long without breaking a sweat. Lego Older Male Sources Who Keep Thinking Lego Journalist Lady Is Hitting On Them are not included but are available with the expansion set. • Lego Geek Girl: She is just a regular geek, not some kind of fake or poseur, but try explaining that to many swaths of the nerd community. • Lego Female Head of State: “With the advent of Margaret Thatcher, we went from ‘Iron, lady!’ to ‘Iron Lady,’ ” says the packaging on either the sensible Merkel or the more polarizing

Thatcher (bigger hair, more complex emotional responses from British Lego purchasers). • Lego Feminist: This comes in both the Real (she can be anything she wants to be, from pop star to ordinary individual) and Mythical variety, which is actually a cooler toy because it breathes fire, carries around a tiny Lego Burning Bra, includes luxuriant forests of leg hair and is magnetized so that it avoids and despises all masculine Legos. • Lego Movie Actress: Red Carpet Reporter asking about Lego Movie Actress’ beauty routine included. Strange periods of Universal Acceptance and Insistence That Lego Movie Actress Would Be Your Best Friend If You Met In Real Life, followed by Weird Backlash Where You Say She’s Just A Plastic Phony Like All The Other Phonies come only in the expansion pack but make great fodder for a confusing playtime. • Lego Mom: No matter what she’s doing, it is not correct! “It All” expansion pack may or may not exist. • Alexandra Petri writes the ComPost blog at washingtonpost.com/blogs/compost.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Corruption trial wraps up

Terrorism records case gets combative during rare redo

CHICAGO – The U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals took a judicial mulligan Monday after staff failed last week to follow standard practice and record what was supposed to be the only such hearing in a terrorist case touching on surveillance issues broached by Edward Snowden. The rare do-over of oral arguments at a U.S. appellate court started slowly with one judge even saying she would try and carefully recreate as best she could the questions she asked the parties in the unrecorded hearing. But any chance of an approximate replay of last week’s hearing evaporated when a lawyer for terrorism suspect Adel Daoud abandoned courtroom deference and began clashing with the presiding judge of the three-judge appellate panel, Judge Richard Posner. Daoud, a 20-year-old U.S citizen, has denied government allegations that he accepted a phony car bomb from undercover FBI agents in 2012, parked it by a Chicago bar and pressed a trigger. His trial is scheduled to start Nov. 10.

3 dead in apparent domestic shooting in Chicago

CHICAGO – Three people are dead in what appears to be a domestic-related shooting on Chicago’s Southwest Side. Chicago police said officers responded to the residence shortly before 9 a.m. Monday to find two men outside with nonlife threatening injuries. Officers heard shots fired from inside the home and notified the department’s SWAT team. The SWAT officers entered the home, where they found the bodies of two women and a man. The women had been shot to death and the man had apparently taken his own life with a gun. AP photo

State Rep. Derrick Smith enters federal court for the beginning of jury selection in his corruption trial May 28 in Chicago. During closing arguments Monday, prosecutors said Smith placed his own welfare above his constituents by taking a $7,000 bribe from a day care operator seeking a state grant. An attorney for Smith, however, told jurors a campaign worker-turned-informant hoodwinked the Chicago Democrat to justify cooperation payments from his FBI handlers.

have weathered the cold winter but harvests could be delayed. Sonja Lallemand, an agriculture and natural resources educator with the University of Illinois, told the Southern Illinoisan that peaches planted farther north were affected by the unseasonably cool spring. “We had certain times where the temperature was warming up and then it froze again,” Lallemand said. “That means buds start moving, opening up and then we go into a freeze.” “We are very fortunate to have peaches,” said Wayne

Sirles, vice president of Rendleman Orchards in Alto Pass, adding that orchards further north have no fruit or a drastically reduced crop. There likely will be a delay in harvesting peaches in the area. Dale Bremer of Bremer Orchards in Metropolis said he might not start picking peaches until July. Last year his crop was ripe in early June. Sirles expected the Rendleman Orchards crop to be later too. “We should start with our ear-

ly season peaches at the beginning of July, and things seem to be a little bit later this year, as with everything else due to the extended cold weather and late spring that we had,” Sirles said. “So, we’re looking at a week to 10 days later than usual.”

Waukegan man charged with killing wife, daughter

WAUKEGAN – Prosecutors in Lake County have charged a man with first-degree murder in the strangulation deaths of his

wife and teenage daughter. Lake County prosecutors said police responded Sunday night after 53-year-old Anthony Marcus called to report he’d killed his wife and daughter in their Waukegan home and that he was going to kill himself. Police found the bodies of his 50-year-old wife, Sun, his 17-year-old daughter and a dog in the home. They said the woman and the teenager, who used a wheelchair, were strangled. Marcus was treated for apparent self-inflicted wounds. In

2 small tornadoes confirmed in southern Illinois

RED BUD – The National Weather Service said it has confirmed that small tornadoes were responsible for minor damage in portions of southwestern Illinois’ Monroe County. Meteorologist Mark Britt said both of the Saturday afternoon twisters southeast of St. Louis have been classified as EF-Os and caused no injuries. Britt said one of the tornadoes toppled a tree onto a house in the tiny village of Fults. Another one three miles west of Red Bud caused minor damage to crops and some trees.

Gov. Quinn signs partial Chicago pension overhaul Advises mayor, City Council not to raise property taxes as detailed in an earlier proposal By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation Monday to help Chicago reduce a multibillion-dollar pension shortfall for two of its pension systems, but advised Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the City Council not to raise property taxes for needed revenues. An early version of the measure contained a property tax hike, which Emanuel said was necessary to avoid cuts to services. The provision was later removed, something Quinn noted in his decision to sign the bill. “As the mayor and members of the Chicago City Council work to identify savings to meet their [pension] obligations ... I urge them to rule out a property tax increase on Chicago homeowners and businesses,” Quinn said in a statement. “I recognize that Chicago’s mission to find real solutions to its financial challenges will not be easy.” The law, which starts to take effect in January, ad-

dresses pensions for Chicago’s municipal employees and laborers, affecting about 57,000 employees and retirees. It would nearly eliminate the $9.4 billion shortfall in those funds by cutting benefits and increasing contributions for both the city and employees. In a statement, Emanuel called the new law “another step toward correcting the series of financial challenges that have been building over the last few decades.” Emanuel said he would work with City Council members to find “alternative options” to replace property taxes as a revenue source, at least for the near future. The legislation has been a political problem for Quinn, who faces a tough re-election race against Republican Bruce Rauner. On one hand, Quinn has vowed to avoid increasing property taxes and even called for a property tax refund earlier this year – an idea that went nowhere in the General Assembly. On the other hand, if he had rejected the bill it could have compli-

Gov. Pat Quinn speaks at the annual meeting of the Illinois Education Association on April 11 in Chicago. Quinn signed legislation Monday to help reduce a multibillion-dollar pension shortfall in Chicago pension systems.

“As the mayor and members of the Chicago City Council work to identify savings to meet their [pension] obligations ... I urge them to rule out a property tax increase on Chicago homeowners and businesses.” Gov. Pat Quinn, on property tax hikes in the pension proposal cated his relationship with Emanuel, another top Illinois Democrat.

Rauner, a venture capitalist from Winnetka, wasted no time in blasting Quinn on the

decision. “I would have vetoed this law – but Pat Quinn likes to raise taxes and left homeowners holding the bag again,” Rauner said in a statement minutes after Quinn’s decision. “This should have been a no-brainer – veto the bill, don’t squeeze Chicago families even more.” At the same time, a coalition of unions that’s filed a lawsuit over the state’s pension overhaul, called the new law unconstitutional and said it would sue. The We Are One Chicago union group said the plan is unfair and would disproportionately affect women, minorities and the low income. “Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s pension-slashing plan, now signed by the Governor, is wrong for Chicago,” a group statement read. “This is no victory for the Mayor, but a huge, missed opportunity to find a truly fair, constitutional solution.” Emanuel, who took office in 2011, faces re-election next year. Already, several aldermen have opposed raising

property taxes. Chicago has the worst-funded retirement systems of any major U.S. city and has yet to address police and fire department pensions. There’s an approximately $20 billion shortfall in four accounts and another $7 billion debt in the fund for Chicago Public School teachers. The shortfall is largely the result of years of the city not making large enough contributions to the funds. Emanuel, who inherited much of the problem from the previous administration, has said the changes are needed to avoid an even larger tax hike, severe cuts in programs and services and the potential insolvency of the city’s retirement funds. But pension programs are created by state law, so only state legislators can make changes. State lawmakers last year approved a sweeping overhaul to reduce the state’s $100 billion pension shortfall debt. The plan would cut workers’ and retirees’ benefits.

Chicago man dies after Neb. rest area crash The ASSOCIATED PRESS KEARNEY, Neb. – A Chicago man has died after the van he was driving rammed into a semitrailer parked at a highway rest area in south-central Nebraska. The Nebraska State Patrol said the accident was report-

ed about 8:15 a.m. Sunday at the eastbound Interstate 80 rest area around four miles west of Kearney. The patrol said the van struck the rear of the semitrailer. The truck driver was sleeping in the tractor cab and apparently wasn’t injured. The patrol said the van

driver died at the scene. He was identified as 27-year-old Maurice Lewis. Two passengers in the van were taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney. They were identified as 22-year-old Charles Stokes, of Ferguson, Missouri, and 48-year-old Willie Sheppard, of Phoenix.

BY MATTHEW DALY The Associated Press WASHINGTON – More than 57,000 U.S. military veterans have been waiting 90 days or more for their first VA medical appointments, and an additional 64,000 appear to have fallen through the cracks, never getting appointments after enrolling, the government said Monday in a report newly demonstrating how deep and widespread the problem is. It’s not just a backlog issue, the wide-ranging Veterans Affairs review indicated. Thirteen percent of schedulers in the facility-by-facility report on 731 hospitals and outpatient clinics reported being told by supervisors to falsify appointment schedules to make patient waits appear shorter. The audit is the first nationwide look at the VA network in the uproar that began with reports two months ago of patients dying while awaiting appointments and of cover-ups at the Phoenix VA center. A preliminary review last month found that long patient waits and falsified records were “systemic” throughout the VA medical network, the nation’s largest single health care provider serving nearly 9 million veterans. “This behavior runs counter to our core values,” the

New audit data show waiting times at the two Veterans Affairs medical centers in Minnesota are considerably lower than the worst trouble spots in the VA system. report said. “The overarching environment and culture which allowed this state of practice to take root must be confronted head-on.” Acting VA Secretary Sloan Gibson said Monday that VA officials have contacted 50,000 veterans across the country to get them off waiting lists and into clinics and are in the process of contacting 40,000 more. The controversy forced VA Secretary Eric Shinseki to resign May 30. Shinseki took the blame for what he decried as a “lack of integrity” through the network. Legislation is being written in both the House and Senate to allow more veterans who can’t get timely VA appointments to see doctors listed as providers under Medicare or the military’s TRICARE program. The proposals also would make it easier to fire senior VA regional

officials and hospital administrators. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said the report demonstrated that Congress must act immediately. “The fact that more than 57,000 veterans are still waiting for their first doctor appointment from the VA is a national disgrace,” Boehner said. The new audit said a 14day agency target for waiting times was “not attainable,” given poor planning and a growing demand for VA services as Vietnam-era vets age and younger veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars enter the system. The 2011 decision by senior VA officials to set the target, and then base bonuses on meeting it, was “an organizational leadership failure,” the report said. At a Monday evening hear-

ing of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, Richard Griffin, the VA’s acting inspector general, said he was investigating 69 agency medical facilities nationwide for possible wrongdoing, up from 42 two weeks ago. A previous inspector general’s investigation into the troubled Phoenix VA Health Care System found that about 1,700 veterans in need of care were “at risk of being lost or forgotten” after being kept off an official, electronic waiting list. The report issued Monday offers a broader picture of the overall system. The audit includes interviews with more than 3,772 employees nationwide between May 12 and June 3. Respondents at 14 sites reported having been sanctioned or punished over scheduling practices.

WASHINGTON – Dubbing it a “no-brainer,” President Barack Obama expanded a program Monday capping monthly student loan payments for 5 million more borrowers at an unknown cost to taxpayers. Obama also threw his support behind legislation that Democrats are using in an election year to paint Republicans as blocking relief for Americans inundated by student debt. With a group of student loan borrowers looking on, Obama put his pen to a presidential memorandum that will allow those who borrowed through the federal government before 2007 to pay no more than 10 percent of their income in monthly payments. Existing programs created by Congress and Obama already offer that benefit to recent borrowers; Obama’s memo will make it fully retroactive. “I’m only here because this country gave me a

chance through education,” Obama said. “We are here today because we believe that in America, no hard-working young person should be priced out of a higher education.” In Obama’s 2015 budget request, the White House projected expanding the program would cost $7.6 billion in its first year, although the costs decrease in the out years. But Education Secretary Arne Duncan told reporters Monday that the government hasn’t gotten that far. “We actually don’t know the costs yet,” Duncan said. “We’ll figure that out on the back end.” Republican leaders faulted the president for failing to think through the costs of the program, and noted it only affects education financing – not the underlying problem. The Senate plans to take up the bill this week, but it faces steep opposition among Republicans because it pays for the lower rates by phasing in a new minimum tax on millionaires.

Medical Insider: The True Cause Of Joint Pain Revealed SCIENTISTS AND DOCTORS RECOMMEND A NEW, REVOLUTIONARY SUPPLEMENT TO SUFFERERS OF THE FOUR TRUE CAUSES OF JOINT PAIN ALLEN, TEXASScience has now discovered that the traditional Orthopedists may have gotten it all wrong. New studies show that joint pain may NOT be triggered by normal wear & tear, but instead, by four hidden causes. If you want to get rid of your back, knee, or hip pain, and are tired of overusing risky (OTC) non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDS), you will want to read about The Four Horsemen of Pain and Joint Destruction

#1: Fibrin The Joint Debris Buildup

What triggers joint pain to start in the ﬁrst place? What makes the pain get worse as you get older? Scientists now believe that Fibrin may be one of the main triggers. Fibrin is an irritating debris that builds up in your joints. It interferes with the ﬂow of nutrients to your joints and blocks the removal of toxins. The new discovery of a natural substance theoretically helps get rid of that hidden cause of joint pain and destruction. As soon as you do something to dissolve the excess Fibrin in your joints, you will start to feel a LOT better! After a great deal of research and testing, our research team came up with a proprietary formula, designed to help ease these sporadic bouts of joint pain and muscle discomfort, called ArthroPure.

Dr., Hal S. Blatman, M.D. Founder and Medical Director of the Blatman Pain Clinic and a nationally recognized specialist in treating joint pain, had this to say, “No one wants to be in pain, and when you are, all you can think about is relief. But pain, whether constant or sporadic, is your body’s way of telling you that something is wrong and needs attention... No matter what your doctor has told you there are things you can do for yourself that can get you out of pain. Of all the nutritional supplements that have helped my pain patients, this stands out as remarkably effective for for relief of temporary joint pain and back pain. I recommend ArthroPure to my patients before NSAIDS.”

Dr. Hal S. Blatman M.D.

#2: Joint Inﬂammation The Inhibitor Chronic inﬂammation in your back, knee, hip, arms, and neck may cause such pain that it inhibits you

from wanting to even leave the house. Some people go about their lives ﬁghting sporadic bouts of pain. Now, imagine doing the things you love with no pain. If you have any sporadic inﬂammation attacking your joints and muscles, the proprietary ingredients in ArthroPure may help relieve that pain. The results you’ll get from using ArthroPure are awe-inspiring!”

A $20 value! ArthroPure is backed by an iron-clad, 90-day, total satisfaction guarantee so you can experience quick relief risk free!

#3: T-Cells - The Cartilage Eaters Anyone still taking glucosamine as their main joint supplement must read this now. They must not have heard yet that the main cause for cartilage destruction has now been discovered and now we have a solution that can help with further destruction. Scientists have discovered that the “wear and tear” that is believed to be the leading cause of cartilage destruction is being accelerated by misguided T-cells which are inciting other immune system cells called macrophages to attack the joints. This causes cartilage to be destroyed. As healthy cartilage is destroyed, your body tries to replace it by generating new cartilage. Unfortunately, the attacks eventually reach the point where they exceed your body’s ability to replace the amount destroyed. That’s when joint deterioration soon becomes a very serious and painful problem. Armed with this new

joint pain and discomfort, our research team created ArthoPure, which starts working quickly to combat the The Four Horsemen of Pain and Joint Destruction, Fibrin, Joint Inﬂammation, T-Cells, and Bradykinin. So take it now and you’ll be amazed at the results!

Free Bone Density Formula, Too!

#4: Bradykinin The Pain Trigger Like Fibrin, Bradykinin is produced by everyone’s body when there’s a slight injury - even just a bump or a knock to the body. Bradykinin makes the blood vessels in muscles and around joints dilate (get wider), allowing more blood to get to the area. But sometimes it does its job too well, and we

Clinton: Benghazi probes ‘more of a reason to run’ By KEN THOMAS The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Hillary Rodham Clinton said in an interview airing Monday that she feels emboldened to run for president because of Republican criticism of her handling of the deadly 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya. In an interview with ABC News, Clinton said the Benghazi inquiry from Republicans gives her a greater incentive to run for president because she considers the multiple investigations into the attacks “minor league ball” for a country of the United States’ stature. But she said she’s still undecided. “It’s more of a reason to run, because I do not believe our great country should be playing minor league ball. We ought to be in the majors,” Clinton said. “I view this as really apart from – even a diversion from – the hard work that the Congress should be doing

CHICAGO – The American Medical Association said cheerleading should be considered a sport because of its rigors and risks. The nation’s largest doctors’ group adopted that as policy Monday at its annual meeting in Chicago. AMA members said cheerleading is as rigorous as many other activities that high schools and the NCAA consider sports. Adding it to the list would mean more safety measures for cheerleaders and proper training for their coaches. Cheerleading is a leading cause of catastrophic injury in female athletes at the high school and college level, Dr. Samantha Rosman, a Boston-area pediatrician, told AMA delegates during floor debate before the vote. “These girls are flipping 10, 20 feet in the air,” Rosman said. “We need to stand up for what is right for our patients and demand they get the same protection as their football colleagues.”

Healthy seniors tested in bid to block Alzheimer’s WASHINGTON – In one of the most ambitious attempts yet to thwart Alzheimer’s disease, a major study got underway Monday to see if an experimental drug can protect healthy seniors whose brains harbor silent signs that they’re at risk. Scientists plan to eventually scan the brains of thousands of older volunteers in the U.S., Canada and Australia to find those with a sticky build-up believed to play a key role in development of Alzheimer’s – the first time so many people without memory problems get the chance to learn the potentially troubling news. Having lots of that gunky protein called beta-amyloid doesn’t guarantee someone will get sick. But the big question: Could intervening so early make a difference for those who do? “We have to get them at the stage when we can save their brains,” said Dr. Reisa Sperling of Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, who is leading the huge effort to find out.

Christie plunges back into building 2016 coalition NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Chris Christie is plunging into what amounts to a cross-country revival tour, looking to recover from a clumsy political scandal and reclaim his place as a promising Republican presidential prospect. In one recent week, it was on-the-ground politics in Tennessee and New Mexico. This week, after a campaign stop in Pennsylvania, the New Jersey governor returns to the late night comedy circuit

with an appearance on NBC’s “Tonight Show.” Then he’ll stop by Mitt Romney’s Utah summit, a private event for donors and GOP establishment leaders, and the week after that he heads to Washington to court Christian conservatives at a national gathering of the Faith and Freedom Coalition. All the while, he’s raising a record-setting amount of money for other Republicans, and bolstering his political network in all the right places – Iowa and New Hampshire, in particular. “As the president’s record continues to get worse, as the Democratic Party brand continues to get worse across the country, this momentum’s going to build,” Christie said recently. “I’ve been looking forward to this year for quite some time.”

7 years later, Blackwater guards will face trial WASHINGTON – After years of delays, four former guards from the security firm Blackwater Worldwide are facing trial in the killings of 14 Iraqi civilians and the wounding of 18 others in bloodshed that inflamed anti-American sentiment around the globe. Whether the shootings were self-defense or an unprovoked attack, the carnage of Sept. 16, 2007, was seen by critics of the George W. Bush administration as an illustration of a war gone horribly wrong. A trial in the nearly sevenyear-old case is scheduled to begin with jury selection Wednesday, barring last-minute legal developments. Prosecutors plan to call dozens of Iraqis to testify in what the Justice Department said is likely to be the largest group of foreign witnesses ever to travel to the U.S. to participate in a criminal trial.

Police: Vegas cop killers had anti-government view LAS VEGAS – A husband and wife who went on a deadly shooting rampage in Las Vegas harbored anti-government beliefs and left a swastika and a “Don’t tread on me” flag on the body of one of the two police officers they killed, authorities said Monday. Jerad and Amanda Miller had been kicked off a Nevada ranch where anti-government protesters faced down federal agents earlier this year because they were “very radical,” according to the son of rancher Cliven Bundy. Assistant Sheriff Kevin McMahill said the Millers had ideology shared by “militia and white supremacists,” including the belief that law enforcement was the “oppressor.” Police believe the shootings were an isolated act, not part of a broader conspiracy to target law enforcement, McMahill said.

a long time,” said Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus, pointing to Clinton’s estimated $200,000-per-speech speaking fees and million-dollar book advances. “Whether she was flat broke or not is not the issue. It’s tone deaf to average people.” Hillary Clinton’s Senate financial disclosure forms, filed for 2000, show assets between $781,000 and almost $1.8 million. The forms allow senators to report assets in broad ranges. The same form, however, showed that the Clintons owed between $2.3 million and $10.6 million in legal bills to four firms. Democrats noted that the Clintons gave away $10 million after departing the White House and during the 2008 campaign, Mrs. Clinton released tax reforms that showed a total of $1.1 million in book proceeds went to charities between 2000 and early 2008.

“It’s more of a reason to run, because I do not believe our great country should be playing minor league ball. We ought to be in the majors.

NATION BRIEFS AMA: Cheerleading should be designated as a sport

ABC’s Diane Sawyer, Clinton said her family struggled with legal bills and debt when she and her husband left the White House in early 2001. “We came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt,” Clinton said. “We had no money when we got there, and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages, for houses, for Chelsea’s education. You know, it was not easy.” Republicans immediately seized on the comment, two years after their presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, was dogged by accusations of being out-of-touch because of his wealth. GOP officials pointed out that Hillary Clinton received an $8 million book advance for her 2003 memoir and said the comments reflected her insulation from the daily problems of average Americans. “I think she’s been out of touch with average people for

WORLD 5

Pakistani Taliban vows more violence after attack The ASSOCIATED PRESS KARACHI, Pakistan – The Pakistani Taliban threatened more violence Monday after a five-hour assault on the nation’s busiest airport killed 29 people – including all 10 attackers – raising a new challenge for a U.S. ally trying to end years of fighting that has claimed thousands of lives. With recently started peace efforts stalled, the cautious government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif may be dragged closer to a decision on whether to take on the militants in earnest across a country with a long history of ambiguity when it comes to dealing with militancy. A further weakening of stability in the nuclear power whose tribal regions are al-

ready a hotbed of foment could ripple to neighboring Afghanistan as international combat forces prepare to withdraw from that country. “Everywhere is a threat,” warned Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan. “Every area is a target, every building is a potential target.” Such an attack in Karachi, Pakistan’s business center, will likely discourage foreign investment at a time when its economy is struggling. The Taliban said the assault on the Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, Pakistan’s largest city, was in revenge for the November killing of the militant group’s leader in a U.S. drone strike. In a telephone call to The Associated Press, the group’s spokesman, Shahidullah Sha-

hid, warned that “such attacks will continue until there is a permanent cease-fire.” The attack began late Sunday when 10 gunmen, some disguised as policemen, stormed into a section of the sprawling airport where a terminal for VIP flights and cargo is located. They opened fire with machine guns and rocket launchers, sparking a battle with security forces that lasted until around dawn. Heavy gunfire and multiple explosions were heard coming from the terminal amid the fighting. A major fire rose from the airport, illuminating the night in an orange glow as the silhouettes of jets could be seen. At least some of the gunmen wore the uniform of the Airport Security Force, said an of-

ficial near the terminal. All the attackers wore vests of explosives, some of which were detonated when they were shot at by the police, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media. The attack started about the same time that airport security personnel and the staff from the Pakistani International Airlines engineering wing were changing shifts, said two of the PIA employees. The employees asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to speak to the media. A cargo building was left completely gutted by the fire and the explosions, said Rizwan Akhtar, the chief of Pakistan’s elite paramilitary Rangers.

Civilians and security forces inspect the site of a suicide bomb attack Monday in Tuz Khormato, 130 miles north of Baghdad, Iraq. A suicide bomber first drove his explosive-laden truck into a checkpoint leading up to the offices of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and the nearby Kurdistan Communist Party as people rushed to the site of the explosion and another truck bomb exploded, presumably detonated by remote control, said the Town’s mayor Shalal Abdoul.

Bombings kill at least 40 in Iraq The ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD – A double bombing tore through Kurdish political party offices in northern Iraq in the deadliest of a series of attacks nationwide that killed at least 40 people, officials said. It was the second such assault in as many days. Nobody claimed responsibility for Monday’s attack. But an al-Qaida splinter group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant claimed responsibility for the previous double bombing Sunday against Kurdish offices in Jalula, northwest of Baghdad, killing 19 people. The group said in an online statement that the bombings in Jalula were in response to the detention of

Muslim women by authorities in the self-rule Kurdish region in northern Iraq. Iraq is grappling with its worst surge in violence since the sectarian bloodletting of 2006 and 2007, when the country was pushed to the brink of civil war despite the presence of tens of thousands of U.S. troops. The Americans withdrew at the end of 2011. Monday’s attack took place in the town of Tuz Khormato, about 130 miles north of Baghdad, when a suicide bomber drove his explosives-laden truck into a checkpoint leading up to the offices of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and the nearby Kurdistan Communist Party. Mayor Shalal Abdoul said

another truck bomb exploded, presumably detonated by remote control, as people rushed to the scene of the first attack. The blasts killed 22 people, wounded as many as 150 and destroyed several houses and cars, he said. The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan of Iraqi President Jalal Talabani is one of the main parties governing the Kurdish region in northern Iraq and maintains offices in other areas that are heavily dominated by the ethnic minority. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant is composed of Sunni insurgents who stage frequent high-profile bombings aimed at derailing the Shiite-dominated government and its Kurdish allies.

Attacks have spiked as Islamic State and other insurgents have strengthened their control over parts of Iraq’s western Anbar province and exploited widespread Sunni anger over alleged mistreatment by the government. Also Monday, gunmen opened fire on a security checkpoint in the town of Kanaan, about 50 miles northeast of Baghdad, killing four soldiers and two police officers, police said. And in the Iraqi capital, gunmen killed a real estate agent after spraying his office with bullets in a western neighborhood, police said. A bomb blast also killed a government employee in eastern Baghdad, police said.

CAIRO – A string of sexual assaults on women during celebrations of Egypt’s presidential inauguration – including a mass attack on a 19-year-old student who was stripped in Cairo’s Tahrir Square – prompted outrage Monday as a video emerged purportedly showing the teenager, bloodied and naked, surrounded by dozens of men. Seven men were arrested in connection with the assault and police were investigating 27 other complaints of sexual harassment against women during Sunday’s rallies by tens of thousands of people celebrating Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi’s inauguration late into the night, security officials said. Sexual violence has increasingly plagued large gatherings during the past three years of turmoil following the 2011 uprising that ousted autocrat Hosni Mubarak, and women’s groups complained Monday that tough new laws have not done enough. Twenty-nine women’s rights groups released a joint statement accusing the government of failing do enough to address the spiraling outbreak of mob attacks on women. The groups said they had documented more than 250 cases of “mass sexual rape and mass sexual assaults” from November 2012 to January 2014.

U.K. phone hacking trial set to go to jury The ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON – The last lawyer has argued. The final witness has been heard. After seven months of courtroom drama and celebrity cameos, Britain’s phone hacking trial will soon be in the hands of jurors. They are expected to retire this week to decide whether the dramatic fall of powerful editors political insiders Andy Coulson and Rebekah Brooks will end in criminal conviction, and possibly prison. The prosecution and the defense agree that employees of the scoop-hungry News of the World hacked the phones of scores of people, including Milly Dowler, a 13-year-old who was kidnapped in 2002 and later found murdered. Revelation of that action, in 2011, triggered a wave of public outrage that brought down the 168-year-old tabloid and spurred criminal investigations in which dozens of journalists and officials have been arrested. Judge John Saunders told jurors that the News of the

World had invaded victims’ privacy – their job is to decide who knew about it. Brooks, Coulson and five other defendants deny the charges, which include:

PHONE HACKING: Brooks, Coulson and former News of the World managing editor Rebekah Stuart Kuttner Brooks are accused of “conspiracy to intercept communications” – phone hacking. Brooks was editor from 2000 until she moved to sister paper The Sun in 2003; Coulson was her deputy. He edited the News of the World between 2003 and 2007, when he became communications chief to Conservative leader, and later prime minister, David Cameron. Several News of the World employees have pleaded guilty to hacking in conjunction with private investigator Glenn Mulcaire, who was briefly jailed in 2007 for eavesdropping on the voicemails of roy-

al aides. Defense lawyers say there is no evidence to prove Brooks, Coulson and Kuttner – busy editors of a large paper in a fiercely competitive market – were aware of illegal actions by staff. Prosecutors say they must have known; the News of the World paid Andy almost 100,000 Coulson pounds a year ($168,000) to Mulcaire. BRIBERY: Brooks, Coulson and ex-News of the World editor Clive Goodman are accused of paying public officials for information. Prosecutors allege Coulson and Goodman bought royal phone directories and that the phone numbers were targeted for hacking. Goodman was jailed along with Mulcaire in 2007 for hacking the phones of royal staff. But he did not disclose until this trial – after being promised that he would not face further phone hacking charges – that

he also eavesdropped on Prince William and Kate Middleton, the latter more than 150 times. Brooks is charged with conspiring to pay officials for information while she was editor of The Sun. COVER-UP: Brooks, her husband Charles, her personal assistant Cheryl Carter and News International security chief Mark Hanna are accused of conspiring to pervert the course of justice by hiding evidence from investigators. Prosecutors say that as the police net closed around the News of the World in 2011, Carter took boxes of notebooks from the company archive at Brooks’ request. They also allege that Rebekah Brooks, Charles Brooks and Hanna took electronic devices and other material from the Brooks’ home and hid the belongings in a parking garage, where they were later found by a cleaner. The stash included a laptop computer, documents and several lesbian porn DVDs. Charles Brooks said he hid the material because he was embarrassed, not disposing of evidence.

“Combating that phenomena requires a comprehensive national strategy,” said the statement signed by the women’s groups. Last week, authorities issued a decree declaring sexual harassment a crime punishable by up to five years in prison. The decree amended Egypt’s current laws on abuse, which did not criminalize sexual harassment and only vaguely referred to such offenses as “indecent assault.” Sexual harassment has been one of Egypt’s enduring social ills, embedded in the country’s patriarchal conservative culture, where women are seen as inferior to men. Movies often portray women as sex objects, leaving them vulnerable to men who feel empowered by the absence of a strong legal deterrent. Sexual assaults have increased dramatically in ferocity and in number in the three years since Mubarak’s ouster, with Tahrir square, birthplace of the 2011 uprising, the site of multiple sexual attacks on women amid the large crowds. In the latest incident, video footage posted on social media purportedly shows the student completely naked amid a crowd of men, parts of her body bloodied as policemen struggled to escort her out of Tahrir. The video appeared authentic and was consistent with AP reporting of the incident.

“There is so much wrong with this thinking that it’s hard to know where to start.” Were you ever told that if you invested regularly in the market and left them alone, that over time you would realize an average return of around 7% or 8%? There are years where the market is up but then again there are years where it is considerably down. But supposedly, over the course of your working life your returns will “magically” average out to around 7 or 8%. What do you consider Long-Term? Those that claim the 7% to 8% number must go all the way back into the late 1800’s. If relevant today, that’s only 100 or so years of data. In a number of those decades, returns were negative. As a matter of fact, we just lived through one of them. There have been 20-year periods where the stock market did not produce returns anywhere near this quoted long-term average, and over

the last 114 years there were periods of seventeen, eighteen and twenty-five year spans where the market was either flat or down. What does it mean to those about to retire or those already in retirement? Ask the following; Are your retirement assets positioned to reflect this form of thinking? Assuming the markets will always be up? If the markets do stay flat or down for a prolonged period, will your current investment strategy allow you to maintain your lifestyle? Basing your retirement income on the premise that stocks always go up in the long-term is like going to the casino. The variable is TIME! Do you have enough time to wait for these returns to materialize? Consider re-positioning a portion of your retirement assets so that your hard-earned funds will provide you with an income stream you cannot outlive. By Mike “Cy” Cajthaml, CFP®, ChFC®, CLU®

Tyson wins bidding war for Hillshire Chicago-based company accepts $63-per-share offer By CANDICE CHOI and MAE ANDERSON The Associated Press NEW YORK – Tyson Foods Inc. has won a bidding war to gobble up Chicago-based Hillshire Brands, the maker of Jimmy Dean sausages and Ball Park hot dogs. Tyson had been vying with rival poultry producer Pilgrim’s Pride to acquire Hillshire, which wrapped up its bidding process Sunday. Tyson’s final offer ended up at $63 per share, about two weeks after Pilgrim’s Pride made an initial bid of $45 per share. Pilgrim’s Pride, which is owned by Brazilian meat giant JBS, said Monday that it was bowing out of the competition. Still, the deal is not sealed yet. It is contingent on the termination of Hillshire’s offer to acquire Pinnacle Foods Inc., which makes Birds Eye frozen vegetables and Wish-Bone salad dressings. Pinnacle could choose to cut bait and walk away with $163 million breakup fee, or force the deal to a vote by Hillshire shareholders. A Pinnacle representative didn’t return a call for comment. In a conference call with reporters, Tyson CEO Donnie Smith said he was confident the $63 offer would end up being worthwhile for Tyson shareholders, despite how high the price went. “Great brands like Jimmy Dean and Ball Park just don’t become available very often,” Smith said. Hillshire’s stock closed at $36.95 on May 9, the day before the company announced the Pinnacle deal. On Monday, it closed up 5.3 percent at $62.06. Tyson, like Pilgrim’s Pride, has been looking to boost its presence in

Tyson’s winning offer Tyson has won a bidding contest to buy Hillshire Brands, the maker of Jimmy Dean sausages and Ball Park hot dogs, with an offer of $63 per share. The company beat out rival meat heavyweight Pilgrim’s Pride. Here’s a look at how the offer came to be: May 9: Hillshire’s stock closes at $36.95. May 12: Hillshire announces deal to buy Pinnacle Foods, which makes Birds Eye frozen vegetables, Wish Bone salad dressings and Hungry Man frozen dinners. The deal includes a clause that lets Hillshire consider proposals that might be more favorable to its shareholders, opening the door for Hillshire suitors. May 27: Pilgrim’s Pride offers $45 per share for Hillshire, saying its offer is a superior alternative to Hillshire’s plan to buy Pinnacle since they’re both meat companies. The offer is contingent on the termination of Hillshire’s deal to buy

Pinnacle. Pilgrim’s Pride says it will pay the $163 million breakup fee to end the deal with Pinnacle. May 29: Tyson Foods enters the fray with a $50 per share offer for Hillshire. Like Pilgrim’s Pride, Tyson is looking to expand its lineup of branded, prepared products, which are more profitable than minimally processed meats such as chicken breasts. Tyson’s offer is also contingent on the termination of the Pinnacle deal. June 2: Pilgrim’s Pride raises its offer to $55 per share. June 3: Hillshire announces it will hold separate talks with Tyson and Pilgrim’s Pride. June 9: Tyson announces its winning offer of $63 per share for Hillshire. Pilgrim’s Pride says it will withdraw its offer. Pinnacle has yet to say whether it will agree to walk away from the deal.

McDonald’s’ U.S. sales slip again in May OAK BROOK – McDonald’s said a key sales metric slipped again in the U.S. as it faced “ongoing broad-based challenges” in May. The world’s largest hamburger chain said U.S. sales declined 1 percent at locations open at least 14 months. The fast-food chain has been struggling to boost sales amid heightened competition and changing eating habits. Many of its core customers also are struggling financially, which has forced McDonald’s to intensify its focus on value. Executives at McDonald’s also have conceded that the chain introduced too many items too quickly last year, which led to slower service and inaccurate orders. CEO Don Thompson has said the company is working with franchisees to address those problems, in part by ensuring restaurants have appropriate staffing.

brand-name, prepared foods such as Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches. Those types of products are more profitable than fresh meat, such as chicken breasts, where there isn’t as much wiggle room to pad prices. While Tyson and Pilgrim’s Pride already sell some brand-name products, their businesses have been more focused on supplying supermarkets and restaurant chains. In particular, Tyson said it was drawn by Hillshire’s stable of breakfast foods, which would better position it in the fast-growing category.

McHENRY – The McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce invites women to attend the Women’s Interactive Network Group luncheon, “Is Your Online Reputation Helping Your Business Succeed?” Bobbi Baehne, president of Think Big Go Local, will present the luncheon, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. July 23 at 31 North Banquet & Conference Center, 217 N. Route 31, McHenry. Baehne will educate attendees on what reputation marketing is and why it’s important, as well as provide tips and tools for developing a strategy to manage your online reputation. Call the McHenry Area Chamber at 815-385-4300 or visit www.mchenrychamber.com to make your reservations. The deadline is 5 p.m. July 21. The cost is $28 for chamber members and $33 for nonmembers.

Tyson also noted the potential for cost savings by combining supply chains, transportation and other operations with Hillshire. But Smith said it was too early to comment on how many jobs could be cut as a result of the deal. Tyson’s offer will be in place until Dec. 12, the final termination date of the deal with Pinnacle. Hillshire Brands noted it does not have the right to end the deal with Pinnacle on the basis of the Tyson offer, or enter into an agreement with Tyson before the deal is terminated.

WASHINGTON – U.S. economic growth should accelerate in the second quarter and remain healthy for the rest of this year, according to a forecast by a group of U.S. business economists. Still, growth for the full year likely will come in lower than they previously estimated. Job growth should remain steady and consumer spending also will likely pick up, a survey by the National Association of Business Economists said Monday. The survey of 47 economists from companies, trade associations and academia was conducted from May 8 to May 21. – Staff and wire reports

Embrace change before your business falls behind Guy Kawasaki, a former Apple employee, wrote a poignant and poetic article on the lessons he learned from Apple founder Steve Jobs. “The starting point of changing the world is by changing a few minds. That is the greatest lesson I learned from Steve Jobs.” I believe the single most important lesson and the legacy that is Steve Jobs is change is not only good, but also necessary. It is frightening and amazing. It is how we continue to evolve, to grow beyond the current shell that is safe and familiar but also limiting. Change is inherently frightening to people because it challenges people to believe in the unknown, unseen and unproven. It says push away from that safe place on the wall of the pool and get over here in the deep end. It asks us to believe in ourselves in a way that, as a culture, we are reluctant to try. We applaud those innovators

CHAMBER NEWS Mary Margaret Maule who crack open the shell and bring in the light to shine on needs we didn’t know existed. We declare them brilliant and anoint them geniuses. Oftentimes, they also were fools who took risks that failed. The “losers” we warn our children and colleagues about. The reality is we are all both winners and losers; brilliant and bozos existing side by side in the same space. Our fear of change often manifesting the loss by missed opportunities or being slaves to predictive and habitual practices of business and relationships. Yet, truly innovative companies understand the power of failure. Google and 3M are among those on the leading edge of innovation in their industries

and both allow employees to spend 20 percent of their time working on self-directed projects. The work is the reward. Success and failure adding value to the company, the employee and the process. Change is hard. Change is scary. But change also is a gift that allows you and your company to imagine the possibilities – to take an offensive posture instead of a defensive posture. While defense will prevent your opponent from advancing, offense is what puts points on the board. You need to score to win. You need to innovate to survive. Your company will need to change to evolve in an ever-changing competitive landscape and, more importantly, to remain relevant. The beauty of the free-market system is that customer pressure drives innovation and forces the price down. Customer pressure makes diamonds out of coal – to bring our best foot forward.

To create a line of defense against pressures that are moving your company forward is silly. It also is using resources to stay put. The secret is to identify how to harness that same pressure, to use that energy to advance your company rather than to hold a line of defense. Where do you find your iPod moment? How do you jump the curve and deliver to your customers that which they didn’t know they were missing. Where is the white space in your industry, market and customer base? How can you reinvent yourself by refreshing your company to meet the needs of your customers? How do you meet the need your customers do not yet know they have? The starting point of change is truly to change your own mind. • Mary Margaret Maule is the president of the Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce.

joestevenson@shawmedia.com ROCKFORD – Roads to any state tournament often require triumphs of different shapes and sizes. Prairie Ridge’s formula of unyielding starting pitching and opportunistic offense was not enough against Mundelein. The Wolves needed a couple of unlikely heroes to pull off their biggest win of the season, and Tim Jablonsky and Jon Tieman were thrilled to oblige. Jablonsky, a senior with 17 varsity at-bats all season, crushed a pinchhit grand slam in the bottom of the fifth inning. Tieman, a sophomore From Twitter @EthanRoutzahn right-hander without a postseason Prairie Ridge’s Ethan Routzahn tweeted this inning pitched, threw 41/3 scoreless image after Monday’s game and wrote: innings of relief, and the Wolves upended Mundelein, 9-6, Monday in the “STATE BOUND.”

Prairie Ridge will play Providence in the state semifinals at 3 p.m. Friday at Silver Cross Field in Joliet. Class 4A Rockford Aviators Supersectional at Aviators Stadium. Prairie Ridge (24-16) takes on Providence at 3 p.m. Friday at Joliet’s Silver Cross Field in a Class 4A semifinal. “This is unbelievable,” said Prairie Ridge coach Glen Pecoraro, who could not stop smiling. “Timmy Jablonsky’s worked his tail off and come up in some big moments and

had good at-bats, but by no means did I think he was going to hit a grand slam in that situation.” Wolves shortstop Nick Schmidt ran into left fielder Kyle Buresch on a fly ball in the top of the fifth inning. Buresch caught the ball, but Schmidt’s head hit Buresch’s elbow and stunned him for a couple of minutes. Schmidt told assistant coach Andy Deain, as the inning progressed, to pinch hit for him. The Wolves scored twice and had the bases loaded when Jablonsky, who had three RBIs this season entering the game, was called to hit for Schmidt. On an 0-1 offering from Austin Blackmer, Jablonsky lifted a deep fly over the left-field wall about 15 feet inside the foul pole.

LAKE FOREST – Long after Jay Cutler and Jordan Palmer had departed with the rest of their teammates, David Fales lingered behind on the practice field, continuing to put his playbook into practice. For now, the Bears’ rookie quarterback is nothing more than a depth chart also-ran, a developmental work in progress at a position that runs five deep. To some, the fact the former San Jose State standout is even here is a bit of a surprise after Bears general manager Phil Emery suggested he wasn’t interested in the Bears putting work into drafting a reserve signalcaller. Before the Bears signed Jimmy Clausen last week, Fales found himself competing against Jerrod Johnson to be the No. 3 quarterback and for a spot on the Bears’ 53-man roster. Now with Clausen – another quarterback with NFL experience – in the mix to make a team with seemingly no solidified back-up in place, Fales will be forced to work even harder. That takes us back to the practice field last week, where Fales and Johnson took turns throwing timing patterns to back-up receivers to better prepare the quarterbacking pair for the open competition that lies ahead. “I’m just trying to grasp the offense and keep getting better,” Fales said last week, two days before the Clausen signing.

SNOWBOARDING

Striking gold in Colorado Hampshire’s Herman looks forward after first national title By RYAN ALTMAN raltman@shawmedia.com Practicing on a short slope for a national snowboarding tournament might not be ideal for those who compete at a high level, but Hampshire resident Clint Herman always has been up to the challenge. Herman, a 16-year-old sophomore at Burlington Central, has snowboarded for 11 years at Raging Buffalo in Algonquin, where he trains on a 150-foot slope but still has won handfuls of medals in re-

gional and national competitions. In addition to the challenging dimensions, Herman is challenged by competing against older racers and said it has given him the motivation to push harder. “The races are much smaller and faster, but the competition is still good,” Herman said. In 2006, Herman reached the podium twice at the United States of America Snowboard Association National Tournament in Colorado, where he received second- and third-place medals in boardercross and slalom.

Eight years passed before Herman returned to the podium in April at Copper Mountain in Summit County, Colorado, bringing home a gold medal in boardercross. Boardercross, which is Herman’s favorite event, is a snowboard race in which six competitors race downhill facing numerous winding turns and steep jumps. He described his recent championship experience as “exhilarating.”

‘Chrome’ co-owner apologizes for outburst NEW YORK – California Chrome co-owner Steve Coburn apologized Monday for his bitter remarks after his horse failed to win the Triple Crown. Coburn said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” he was “very ashamed of myself. Very ashamed. I need to apologize to a lot of people, including my wife, Carolyn.” She tried to intervene as Saturday’s interview got out of control, explaining that her husband was “very emotional and I was trying to calm him down.” Coburn also apologized to the connections of winning horse Tonalist, saying: “I did not mean to take anything away from them.” On Saturday, he had said that Tonalist took “the coward’s way out” by skipping the first two legs of the Triple Crown. Sunday, he doubled down by pointing out that “it wouldn’t be fair if I played basketball with a child in a wheelchair because I got an unfair advantage.” By Monday though, he tried to make amends. Coburn’s lower lip quivered at times during the interview in which he apologized to co-owner Perry Martin and trainer Art Sherman, among others.

STANLEY CUP FINAL: KINGS 3, RANGERS 0 – KINGS LEAD, 3-0

Quick stops Rangers; Kings close in on Cup L.A. within 1 win of 2nd title in 3 seasons By IRA PODELL The Associated Press NEW YORK – It turns out Jonathan Quick and the Los Angeles Kings are just as good with the lead as they are without it. That leaves the New York Rangers with little hope of making much of a series out of the Stanley Cup Final. Quick stopped 32 shots in his best start of the series, Jeff Carter scored in the final second of the first period, Jake Muzzin and Mike Richards added goals in the second, and the Kings beat the Rangers, 3-0, Monday night to move within one win of their second Stanley Cup title in three years. Los Angeles leads 3-0 and can claim the Cup on Wednesday night in New York. The Kings have already survived three Game 7s on the road, so this amount of success has their confidence soaring. Quick hardly showed it when he took the podium wearing a black hooded sweatshirt. “I don’t think it would be any different if we were down 3-0,” Quick said. “We’re just trying to win a game in a couple days here. That’s the focus.”

Game 4 Kings at Rangers, 7 p.m. Wednesday, NBCSN

After the Rangers blew twogoal leads in each of the first two games of the championship round in Los Angeles, they came home and couldn’t get anything going against Quick. The All-Star was sharp early and in the middle when the Kings built their lead. Not even six power plays could jumpstart New York’s offense. “We did a lot of things the right way,” Quick said. “Now we get ready for the next one. The fourth one is always the most difficult.” Los Angeles escaped with two overtime wins at home and then took complete command inside Madison Square Garden. The Kings grabbed their first lead of the series on Carter’s goal and then stretched the edge to three goals in the second – something the Rangers failed to do in California. While there has been only one comeback from a 3-0 hole

in the finals, the Kings erased such a deficit in the first round against San Jose. “Well, we know it’s possible,” Richards said. “The last game is always the hardest. We played a good game. We’re going to have to play a better game if we’re going to want to have success.” New York’s Henrik Lundqvist was hardly at fault on the goals, and finished with 12 saves. He was just outdone by Quick, who was perfect at the other end of the ice. “You try to stay positive right now, but it’s tough. It’s really tough,” Lundqvist said. “We are doing a lot of good things, but you look at the goals, and we put two in our own net. Then just a tough play on the third one.” Quick, a Connecticut native who grew up a fan of the Rangers and 1994 Stanley Cup-winning goalie Mike Richter, made a brilliant save with his stick blade to deny Derick Brassard shortly after a Rangers power play. That stop came on the heels of Brassard having two chances during the advantage off a rebound of Brad Richards’ shot.

WORLD CUP

U.S. arrives in congested Sao Paolo By RONALD BLUM The Associated Press SAO PAULO – The 4,080mile overnight flight to Sao Paulo was easy for the U.S. World Cup team. A 4-mile bus ride from its base hotel through the city’s perpetually congested streets to the Americans’ training camp was another matter. “We haven’t had any problem, other than the traffic. But other than that, not too bad,” goalkeeper Tim Howard said Monday after the Americans arrived in Brazil exactly one week before their World Cup opener against Ghana. The U.S. team landed from Miami and reached its hotel about 2 hours, 20 minutes later on a bus with the American flag and the slogan “United by team, driven by passion.” Police on motorcycles with the Stars and Stripes sticking out of their wheels led the way, and a helicopter hovered. Four soldiers in fatigues and about two dozen police in riot gear stood outside the hotel, which is adjacent to a park on a tree-lined street. Blearyeyed players were applauded when they entered the lobby. What on maps appears to be a short ride to the Sao Paulo Futebol Clube’s luxurious Barra Funda training complex took 45 minutes in late-afternoon traffic as a subway strike in its fifth day tightened bottlenecks. At a downtown station, riot police used tear gas against

The Barra Funda facility has three full fields and two small ones – for goalkeepers and for high-intensity workouts. The main field has stands with 704 seats. There are 20 rooms where players and coaches can sleep or hang out between training sessions, plus a swimming pool, kitchen, dining room, hair salon, and play room with billiards and video games. Coach Jurgen Klinsmann was due to arrive Tuesday. He stayed in Miami to watch Ghana’s exhibition game against South Korea. Just seven hours after the Americans landed, their initial workout took place under the direction of the rest of the staff. “That’s the norm with the

way Jurgen works,” Howard said. “I’m surprised we weren’t out here earlier.” It was 66 degrees under overcast skies, far cooler than the expected temperature for the U.S. games against Ghana, Portugal and Germany, which will be played in northeast Brazil and the Amazon rainforest. Dusk arrived quickly on the late-autumn afternoon as the 5:27 p.m. sunset approached. This year’s flight to the World Cup took 9:21, virtually a shuttle compared with the 17hour trip from Washington to Johannesburg four years ago. “Eight-hour flights are like my norm,” said Howard, who commutes from Liverpool, England, for World Cup qualifiers in the Americas. When the U.S. returned to the World Cup in 1990 after a 40year absence, the team stayed in camp-like bunks at the Italian Olympic training center in the seaside town of Tirrenia, nine miles from Pisa. A substantial upgrade was made when the Americans hosted four years later and checked into the Dana Point Resort in Orange County, California. At the 1998 tournament in France, they went stir crazy at the Chateau de Pizay, a 12th-century castle surrounded by a vineyard and oak forest in the Beaujolais wine country north of Lyon. There were plainclothes officers strolling among the roosters and geese, and dogs ready to attack upon command.

There has been a trend in these NBA Finals of future Hall of Famers checking out early. The Miami Heat’s LeBron James did it in the fourth quarter of Game 1 after cramping essentially rendered the left side of his body paralyzed from dehydration. But in the San Antonio Spurs’ loss Sunday in Game 2, which evened the series at a game apiece heading to Miami, the Spurs found themselves putting out an APB on Tim Duncan with much less of an explanation. And if Duncan continues to disappear on his team, South Beach will be celebrating its third consecutive NBA title. Duncan took fewer shots – one – in the fourth quarter than the number of words coach Gregg Popovich used to explain the Spurs’ second-half meltdown. That was saying something, considering the mood Popovich was in after the loss. “The ball stuck,” Popovich said of the Spurs’ play in the second half. The stonewall reporters faced when questioning Popovich after the game paled by comparison to the defensive job Heat reserve Chris Andersen did on Duncan in the fourth quarter. It was like Duncan came to a screeching halt after missing a 12-foot jumper with 9:10 left. Until Duncan started to play hide and seek, he had

Game 3 San Antonio at Miami, 8 p.m. Tuesday, ABC scored 18 points. It seemed as though he was on his way to the kind of dominating performance he had turned in during the 2013 Finals against the Heat, which the Spurs lost in seven games. Of all the Spurs, Duncan was supposed to have the easiest time scoring against the Heat. As great as the Heat’s perimeter defense has been during the last four seasons, they’ve struggled defending the post. Andersen is their only player who has a chance at holding Duncan in check. “We’ve been making a point of trying to keep [Duncan] out of the paint for two games, and sometimes it looks like that’s part of the game plan,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. Read between the lines, and it seems as though the Heat got a little help from an uncharacteristically bad Duncan. There’s plenty of credit and blame to go around, of course. Andersen was effective around the rim, and the Spurs, who move the ball around as well as any team in the NBA, didn’t do so in the fourth quarter Sunday.

Fales works hard to learn Bears’ playbook • BEARS Continued from page C1 On Saturday, coach Marc Trestman told reporters at the Bears’ annual charity gala that Clausen’s signing was just a matter of adding another experienced option. Trestman said he told Palmer he was planning on bringing in another quarterback, adding that Clausen’s signing was “not connected” to whether he believes Palmer, who is entering his second year with the Bears, is the right man to back up Cutler. “We’re going to keep the competition open on a daily basis,” Trestman said Saturday. How that impacts Fales – who was drafted in the sixth round – remains unknown. For now, Fales is busy digesting the Bears’ playbook, focusing on learning the full installation of the offense after getting a small taste of what that process looks like during rookie minicamp. With training camp still a good six weeks off, Fales is less concerned with those around him vying for the same roster spot. Instead, he is focused on himself to make sure he’s in a position to remain a viable player in the competition.

Much of that is happening now as Fales continues to adjust to the speed things happen at the NFL level. “It’s a lot, but if you know the base reads and just stick to it, you’ll be OK,” Fales said. “It’s just that repetition of hearing someone say the play quick, spitting it out, seeing the whole picture and then getting it out. “A lot of the concepts are the exact same stuff [from college] – the reads are the same, but with coach Trestman, [quarterbacks coach Matt] Cavanaugh and [offensive coordinator Aaron] Kromer, there’s no gray area. With everything, you know exactly why you’re going where you’re going.” When that’s not exactly clear, Fales has leaned on Cutler and Palmer to keep him pointed in the right direction. Fales met Palmer at an Elite 11 camp last summer in California and then worked with him again before the Senior Bowl. But it has been Cutler who has been more instrumental in helping Fales grasp the Bears’ offense, giving him plenty to mull over. “Sometimes I don’t even know the questions to ask because I’ve got such limited experience,” Fales said. “So he throws a lot at me, and it definitely helps.”

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Sixtime Olympic gold medalist swimmer Amy Van Dyken severed her spine in an all-terrain vehicle accident over the weekend and told emergency workers she could not move her Amy toes or feel Van Dyken anything touching her legs. The 46-year-old swimmer, who goes by her married name Van Dyken Rouen, was injured Friday. She was airlifted to a hospital and had surgery to stabilize her spine. Hospital spokeswoman Alice Giedraitis didn’t provide details Monday on Rouen’s injuries. She said the swimmer was in good condition. A letter from the Van Dyken and Rouen families said she severed her spinal cord at the T11 vertebrae and that the broken vertebrae came within millimeters of rupturing her aorta. A report by the Show Low Police Department said the ATV that Rouen was driving hit a curb in a restaurant parking lot and sent her over a drop-off between 5 to 7 feet. Rouen starred at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, where she became the first U.S. female athlete to win four gold medals in a single games. She captured the 50-meter freestyle and 100 butterfly and also competed on the winning relay teams in the 400 free and 400 medley. Four years later at Sydney, she added two more golds in the 400 free and 400 medley relays before retiring from competition.

NCAA LAWSUIT

O’Bannon testifies in landmark case By TIM DAHLBERG The Associated Press

Randy Stukenberg for Shaw Media

Prairie Ridge shortstop Nick Schmidt (front) collides with left fielder Kyle Buresch on a catch by Buresch in the fifth inning Monday in Rockford.

Soph reliever Tieman shuts down Mundelein • BASEBALL Continued from page C1 “It was a curveball that hung a little bit, and I was able to get the [bat] head out,” Jablonsky said. “I couldn’t believe it. I think the look on my face said it all. I was so happy. This team, we’ve been through so much, to be able to have the opportunity to do what we did today … unbelievable.” Jablonsky’s only varsity homer made it 9-6 and left Prairie Ridge six outs from its first trip to Joliet since it won the Class 4A state championship in 2008. Tieman entered the game in the third for starter Ben Cilano, who had thrown 68 pitches but had struggled with control, walking four. Prairie Ridge trailed, 5-3, at the time. Tieman (3-1) allowed one RBI hit, then retired nine consecutive batters before the Mustangs (36-3) got another hit. “Jonny Tieman came in and absolutely shut the door,” Jablonsky said. “That’s a sophomore doing things you couldn’t

expect a senior to do. He did amazing things on the bump.” Tieman, who did not walk or strike out a batter, threw five pitches in a perfect seventh inning. “I was just trying to throw strikes and make them make contact and put the ball in play,” Tieman said. “I knew my defense was playing well. I just kept the ball low in the zone and hit Dusty’s [Thelander] mitt.” Tieman retired No. 2 hitter Derek Parola on a ground out to Schmidt, who re-entered for defense, to lead off the seventh. He then got Logan Reckert on a fly ball to right field. Then, as Prairie Ridge’s fans stood in anticipation, he got Luke Adams on a fly to left field. Buresch squeezed the ball and sprinted to the dogpile on the infield. “We’ve come a long way from being 2-8 to get to the final four,” said Buresch, who had two hits and two RBIs. “There’s so much resiliency on our team. We were down by three and we came back. It’s just a great feeling.”

OAKLAND, Calif. – The battle to give top football and basketball players a cut of the billions of dollars flowing into college athletics began in earnest with former UCLA basketball star Ed O’Bannon taking the stand in federal court to describe how he spent long hours working on his game and as few as possible on his grades. The lead plaintiff in a landmark antitrust suit against the NCAA said his goal at UCLA wasn’t to get a degree, but to get two years of college experience before being drafted into the NBA. “I was an athlete masquerading as a student,” O’Bannon said Monday. “I was there strictly to play basketball. I did basically the minimum to make sure I kept my eligibility academically so I could continue to play.” O’Bannon portrayed himself as a dedicated athlete who would stay after games to work on his shot if he played poorly, but an indifferent student at best. His job at UCLA, he said, was to play basketball and took up so much time that just making it to class a few hours a day was difficult. O’Bannon, who led UCLA to a national championship in 1995, said he spent 40 to 45 hours a week either preparing for games or playing them, and only about 12 hours a week on his studies. He changed his major from communications to U.S.

history after an academic adviser suggested it would be the easiest fit for his basketball schedule. “There were classes I took that were not easy classes but they fit my basketball schedule so I could make it to basketball practice,” O’Bannon said. The testimony came as a trial that could upend the way college sports are regulated opened, five years after the suit was filed. O’Bannon and 19 Ed other plaintiffs are asking O’Bannon U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken for an injunction that would allow athletes to sell the rights to their own images in TV broadcasts and rebroadcasts. If successful, the plaintiffs in the class-action case – who are not asking for individual damages – could pave the way for a system that uses some of the huge money flowing into TV contracts to pay athletes for their play once they are done with their college careers. Also on the stand Monday was a Stanford economics and antitrust expert, who testified the NCAA acts as a cartel by fixing the price of scholarships for athletes and not allowing them to make any more money by prohibiting them from selling their names, images or likenesses (NILs) either as individuals or groups. Roger

Noll said every expert opinion he’s seen over the past 30 years agrees the NCAA violates antitrust laws by paying nothing for the rights and imposing rules that would punish athletes for trying to profit from their NILs. “Every single one of them reaches the same conclusion,” Noll said. “The source of its market power is rules and restrictions regarding benefits that can be provided to student-athletes combined with rewards and punishments it can offer for being able to participate in NCAA sports. It’s called a cartel.” Noll also said that football and basketball athletes in the class-action suit were harmed by not being able to sell their NILs and that the harm was equal to the amount the NCAA received for them in video games and TV broadcasts and what they actually received – which was nothing. Even as the trial began, the NCAA announced it had reached a $20 million settlement in a related case involving videogames that used the likeness and images of players without getting their permission. NCAA attorney Donald Remy acknowledged that the settlement in a suit brought by former Arizona State and Nebraska quarterback Sam Keller will result in some current players getting money but doesn’t change the NCAA’s strong belief that the collegiate athletic model is lawful.

Herman trains at Algonquin’s Raging Buffalo • SNOWBOARDING Continued from page C1 “It was just pure emotion,” Herman said. “It was everything I’ve been fighting for during the eight years I haven’t been on the podium.” Herman, who began snowboarding at the age of 5, gained inspiration from his brother, Hayes, who he used to watch compete. “He did it a year before I started,” Clint said. “It looked like fun and that’s when I took it up myself.” Hayes won second place in last year’s national boardercross event in a different age

group. Annually, Herman snowboards in 20 different regional events and makes a trip to Colorado each spring, where he competes in the USASA nationals. Clint’s father, Scott Herman, travels with Clint and the Raging Buffalo snowboarding team and serves as both a certified coach and technical supervisor. He spends time before each event preparing their snowboarders for competition. He said getting to watch Clint’s skills progress over the years has been special. “[Clint’s] been snowboarding for 11 years, and he started on a plastic board from

K-Mart,” Scott Herman said. “He’s progressed to the point where he’s on board-specific event snowboards. Going through all those stages means the world to me.” This year, Raging Buffalo took 25 snowboarders out to Colorado and ended up with seven top-10 finishers. More than 1,600 athletes participated. “I’d like to give a big kudos to Raging Buffalo,” Scott Herman said. “To have these kids do what they do and get to the level that they get on a 150-foot hill here in Algonquin is impressive.” Even though Clint has snowboarded for more than a

decade, he still feels the same nerves before competition. However, he explained that being a little nervous is his favorite part of competing. “That’s what I love about it,” Clint said. “Every time you get into the gate before you start, you get that adrenaline going.” His success has earned him national sponsorships, including Spy Optics, GoPro and Monster Energy. In the future, Clint would love to become a professional snowboarder if an opportunity presented itself. “It would take a lot of hard work and dedication to [go pro], but I feel like I’m on the right track,” Clint said.

Cubs show pulse, make their case By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com PITTSBURGH – It’s what Jeff Samardzija talked about since spring training and what others in the Cubs’ clubhouse mentioned even as the team careened into mid-May with the worst record in the majors. But could the Cubs finally be doing something about it? Are they finally taking their protest to the field and making their case to stop the roster purge that has looked inevitable since the quietest Cubs winter in more than a decade? The Cubs’ $52 million starter, Edwin Jackson, didn’t encourage that notion Monday night, when he opened a 10-game road trip with his ninth nonquality start in 13 outings. But a baseball pulse clearly has been detected on this team in recent weeks. “You have to do it first,” first baseman Anthony Rizzo said. “It’s all talk until you do it.” Whether they have the time – or whether any number of wins in the next month would make a difference to the front office – is anything but certain. But after a 5-1 homestand that finished a one-run loss from a two-series sweep, the Cubs opened this three-city trip with 12 wins in their previous 20 games. They won an extra-inning game Friday (doubling their season total), won one-run games Tuesday and Wednesday (also doubling their season total), have a hot No. 3 hitter in Rizzo and have a bullpen that has looked among the best in the league since the late-April disabled-list exile – and eventual release – of Jose Veras. They still entered the week with the second-worst road record in the majors (compared to a 15-14 home record). But if there was a trip to be catching the right teams at the right time, maybe it’s the one with struggling Pittsburgh, free-falling Philadelphia and a Marlins team the Cubs nearly swept over the weekend at home. Manager Rick Renteria said he’s “very anxious” to see how his team responds to this trip, especially after showing signs of life during its most recent trip, then reeling off the strong homestand. “More than anything, my interest is in seeing if we continue to just play good baseball,” he said. “The results will take care of themselves.”

Cubs fall to Pirates; road woes continue PITTSBURGH – The Cubs spent a glorious week at Wrigley Field making inroads on respectability. It took one night on the road for all that momentum to vanish. Edwin Jackson challenged Andrew McCutchen twice, losing both times as the Cubs fell to the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-2, on Monday night to drop to 10-22 away from Wrigley Field, the worst road record in the majors. “I don’t get caught up in numbers, so I really can’t give you an answer,” Jackson said. “It’s hard to understand, though.” McCutchen drove a two-run shot to right field in the third inning then added an RBI-double in the fifth off Jackson (4-6) as the good vibes from the Cubs’ 5-1 homestand vanished. Ike Davis hit his fifth homer for Pittsburgh. Starlin Castro went 3 for 4 with his eighth home run and two RBIs for the Cubs, but the Cubs were never in it. Jackson surrendered four runs in six innings and is 1-4 since April 30. – The Associated Press

WHITE SOX

Big series? Sox won’t bite Don’t, under any circumstance, suggest to the White Sox their fourgame series against the Tigers is important. Not if you value your limbs. If you do happen to make the mistake of saying the series carries some weight, quickly try to correct yourself, lest you look like a fool, especially being limbless and all. If the Sox had gone any more out of their way Monday to downplay the meeting against the first-place Tigers, they would have been in Kankakee. They don’t want this to turn into a referendum on their ability, their season or just about anything else. It was interesting to be part of the media throng that bounced from player to player to manager Robin Ventura to general manager Rick Hahn before the series opener. That throng was hoping to find someone who saw things the way it did – that this was, like, the biggest thing ever! For early June! When nothing else was going on in town! In another season in which the Cubs are awful! But nobody was biting. Had Mike Tyson been here, he wouldn’t have bit. “I have no idea how [the Tigers] are doing,” third baseman Conor Gillaspie said before the Sox’s 6-5 victory. Come now. The team that is in first place in the American League Central? The team that has won the division the past three seasons? No idea? “Obviously, I knew we weren’t in first place,” Gillaspie said. “But other than that, I couldn’t tell you anything else.” Yes, but the Tigers have what the Sox want. Can we agree on that? “People are trying to make this into something that it’s not, and that’s kind of a must-win series,” designated hitter Adam Dunn said. “You’re chasing [the Tigers], and they’re a good team,” Ventura said. “You know, we understand all that. But you’re not going to base

VIEWS Rick Morrissey your season on whether you do something in the next four days.” Buzz killers. They’re right, of course. All of them. One series in early June isn’t going to make or break a 162-game season. It probably won’t make or break a week – unless it’s the last week in a pennant race. But some series are good for temperature-taking, which is why a lot of people were carrying thermometers and asking the Sox to stick their tongues out. Let’s see what these Sox are about. They entered the series with a 31-33 record, good for fourth place (4½ games behind the Tigers) and good enough to stir up a conversation in a city that wasn’t expecting many baseball conversations this season. The starting pitching has been excellent of late, and the hitting has been good at times. The defense has been bad – not 2013 bad, but bad in a way that will haunt them if they don’t clean it up. And here the Sox are, sort of, contending. “You’ve got to be pleasantly surprised where we’re at right now with all the injuries we had early,” Dunn said. “A lot of key injuries, obviously. ... The injury excuse is no longer. We’re getting everybody back healthy.” That includes Jose Abreu, who had been out with an ankle injury. It says something about how good Abreu had been that there has been focus on his 1-for-12 minislump. Dunn can slump like that by turning over in bed. The Tigers are the team that will tell the Sox how good they are and whether their dreams are realistic, if they have any. The Tigers are what the Sox want to be someday. If the Sox and their fans find that idea of-

White Sox stop slide, beat Tigers CHICAGO – Jose Abreu hit a two-run homer in a three-run fifth inning, and the White Sox snapped a three-game losing streak with a 6-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Monday night. Gordon Beckham had three hits as the Sox bounced back from a sluggish trip to Southern California. The Sox took two of three from the Dodgers before getting swept in a weekend series against the Angels. Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez and Eugenio Suarez homered for AL Central-leading Detroit, which has dropped seven of nine. Cabrera went 2 for 4 while serving as the designated hitter after leaving Sunday night’s 5-3 loss to Boston with left hamstring tightness. Martinez’s two-run shot off Hector Noesi (2-4) trimmed the Sox’s lead to 5-4 with one out in the sixth. – The Associated Press fensive, then they might want to take a look at the standings for the previous three seasons. Then they won’t be so offended. The Sox’s best finish in that span was second in 2012. The Sox might feel the need to dismiss the hoopla surrounding this series as silly, but it’s not silly in the context of what the team might do in July, when decisions often are made about whether to buy or sell. Hahn knows that. “The chances to win out there are sacred,” he said. “We’re not going to forsake a real chance to win. At the same time, we remain mindful of our longer- term goals.” In the meantime, would somebody give us a heads-up when a big series comes along? “I would love to,” Ventura said. “But you’re in the beginning parts of June. ... “ Yeah, we know. • Rick Morrissey is a Chicago Sun-Times sports columnist who can be reached at rmorrissey@suntimes. com.

Pinehurst anything but ‘pristine’ on purpose By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press PINEHURST, N.C. – Pinehurst No. 2 is anything but perfect for the U.S. Open, at least in the traditional sense of major championships in America. USGA executive director Mike Davis could not be any more thrilled. “It’s awesome,” Davis said Monday as he gazed out at a golf course that looks like a yard that hasn’t been watered in a month. Sandy areas have replaced thick rough off the fairways. They are partially covered with that Pinehurst Resort officials refer to as “natural vegetation,” but what most anyone else would simply call weeds. The edges of the bunkers are ragged. The turf is uneven just off some of the greens, with patches of no grass. Instead of verdant fairways from tee-to-green, the fairways are a blend of green, yellow and brown. That was the plan all along. Shortly after this Donald

Retief Goosen walks to the 18th green Monday during a practice round for the U.S. Open in Pinehurst, N.C. Ross gem was awarded its third U.S. Open in 15 years, the fabled No. 2 course went through a gutsy project to restore it to its natural look from yesteryear, before this notion that the condition of a course had to be perfect. Ernie Els, a two-time U.S. Open champion, was amazed when he walked off the 18th green. “I wouldn’t call this an in-

land links, but it’s got that character,” he said. “I was a bit nervous when I heard of the redo. But this looks like it’s been here for a long time.” Els has been playing the U.S. Open for two decades. He never imagined the “toughest test in golf” without any rough. Nor does he think that will make it easier. “You don’t need it,” he said. “When I played it in ’99, I didn’t

like it. You hit it in the rough, you’re just trying to get it out. It was one-dimensional. Now, you’re going to have an unbelievable championship. “If you miss the fairway, you’re not just going to wedge it out. You’ve got a chance to hit a miraculous shot. And then you could really be [in trouble]. This is the way it used to be.” Els said the look of Pinehurst No. 2 reminded him of Royal Melbourne, and a guy who actually grew up next to Royal Melbourne agreed. “These are Melbourne fairways,” Geoff Ogilvy said as he walked down the first fairway, where the grass was green for the first 200 yards before turning brown, and then going back to greener grass toward the green. “This is kind of the way grass is supposed to be. In the summer it browns up, and in the winter it’s green. To my eye, this is what golf courses are supposed to look like.” Ogilvy understand architecture better than most players. He was looking at photos as

Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw worked on the restoration. He had heard stories. And it still managed to exceed his expectations. As for the idea of a U.S. Open without rough? He pointed to clumps of grass in the sandy areas, and some of the wiregrass bushes. And yes, the weeds. “Look, the reality is there is rough there,” he said. “It’s probably what rough used to be like before we had crazy irrigation.” The past two U.S. Open champions finished over par – Webb Simpson at Olympic Club, Justin Rose at Merion, both at 1-over. A third straight U.S. Open champion over par would be the longest streak in nearly 60 years. Not many were willing to bet against that. “I’ve never played anything like it,” Jordan Spieth said. “And it’s already – right now, with the pins in the middle of the greens – hard enough for even par to win. It’s going to be extremely challenging. But at the same time, it’s a great test.”

FIVE-DAY PLANNER

USA Swimming CEO finally says ‘sorry’ to abuse victims By PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press More than four years after saying he had nothing to be sorry for, USA Swimming chief Chuck Wielgus finally apologized to victims of sexual abuse for the first time. Wielgus has resisted repeated calls to step down as executive director and pointed to enhanced steps to protect athletes as proof that he was serious about eradicating sexual predators from the program. But he recently was forced to withdraw from the International Swimming Hall of Fame induction class and now acknowledges that he should have done more. Wielgus wrote a post on the organization’s website that started with two words: “I’m sorry.” The apology referenced a much-criticized 2010 TV interview in which a defiant Wielgus said he had done nothing wrong in the handling of dozens of sexual abuse cases under his leadership. “These are powerful words some people have wanted to hear from me for a long time,” he said in the blog. “And so today, four long years later, I can truthfully say how sorry I am to the victims of sexual abuse.” He went on to write: “Going back in time, I wish I knew long before 2010 what I know today. I wish my eyes had been more open to the individual stories of the horrors of sexual abuse. I wish I had known more so perhaps I could have done more. “I cannot undo the past. I’m sorry, so very sorry.” Robert Allard and Jon Little, attorneys for 15 victims who signed a petition opposing Wielgus’ selection to the Florida-based Hall of Fame, said the apology was nothing more

than an attempt to stifle criticism rather than taking a real stand on the issue. “Too little, too late and forced,” Allard and Little said in a statement. “Another example of this organization under Mr. Wielgus’ leadership being reactive and not proactive. Leaders who are not innovative, creative and caring thinkers and callously react only when forced into action are not true leaders but mere politicians.” Although WielChuck gus stands by the Wielgus organization’s Safe Sport Program, which was instituted after the sexual abuse cases came to light, he has continued to face criticism from Allard, Little and others who say he should step down if the USA Swimming is going to make real progress. In January, an independent report commissioned by the governing body recommended 39 changes to better protect underage athletes from predatory coaches. Last week, Wielgus stepped down from induction to the Hall of Fame after the petition drive opposing his selection and criticism from the Women’s Sports Foundation. “I brought this on myself in April 2010 when I said I had nothing to apologize for on a national television interview,” Wielgus wrote. “As time progressed, I became afraid that my sincerity would be questioned and anything I said or wrote would be judged as just an attempt to put public relations ahead of true remorse. So I remained silent.” USA Swimming has hired an official to oversee the protection

AUTO RACING

of athletes, mandated training for thousands of coaches and officials, and now keeps a list those receiving lifetime bans on its Web site. It has grown to 101 people, most of them thrown out of the organization for sexual misconduct. “Now, when I look back and see how far we’ve come as an organization, I also recognize how far I have come,” Wielgus said. “These experiences have all helped me to grow, and to know that I would never want my daughters, or anyone for that matter, to ever experience the horrors and nightmares that must come during and in the aftermath of a sexually abusive situation. “And so today, four long years later, I can truthfully say how sorry I am to the victims of sexual abuse.” Allard and Little say USA Swimming’s problems started long before Wielgus’ 2010 interview. They accuse him on covering up numerous sexual abuse cases, including one involving prominent Washington-area coach Rick Curl from the 1980s. Curl reached a financial settlement with the victim’s parents, but last year he was sentenced to seven years in prison after the allegations became public. “If you look closely at the apology, what exactly is he apologizing for?” Allard and Little said in their statement. “A real apology would have gone something like this: ‘To all of parents who entrusted me with the care and safety of your children, I am deeply sorry for placing the interests of coaches ahead of children and putting them at increased risk of sex abuse. I am sorry for being less than honest and in some cases flat out misrepresenting what I knew about potential pedophile coaches and not doing more to protect children from

Halle Berry reaches settlement on child support

Brad Paisley opens up about patriotism NASHVILLE, Tenn. – While it’s true patriotism means different things to different people in the U.S., Brad Paisley thinks we can all agree on one aspect: Military personnel should be treated with respect. This belief spurred two recent actions: Paisley joined President Barack Obama on a trip to Afghanistan to perform for troops and took a moment recently to mock Westboro Baptist Church protesters outside a concert in Kansas. Members of that Topeka, Kansas, church sometimes conduct anti-gay demonstrations at military funerals in opposition to government policies. “My patriotism starts there,” Paisley said in an interview before performing at the CMA Music Festival on Sunday night. “We’re talking about, I think everyone can agree – except maybe Westboro Baptist – on the fact our soldiers are our most important, the most amazing people that we’ve had.” Paisley, who has a new singing contest show, “Rising Star,” that begins this month and a new album due in August, traveled to Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan with Obama on May 25. The experience was still fresh when the son of a veteran encountered protesters outside his show June 1. The 41-year-old West Virginia native took a selfie while making a face with protesters in the background and posted it to Instagram with a mildly profane caption that mocked the church. Paisley said it’s a topic he spends time thinking about and wrote a new song, “American Flag on the Moon,” that deals with the topic of patriotism for the new album, “Moonshine in the Trunk.” “I feel like I’m one of those people that defies category,” Paisley said. “ ... I feel like being on a journey of trying to figure out how to make this country better is a healthy thing and something I like to look into. I don’t know any answers to it. But, you know, sort of daily it’s easy to look at something and say here’s what you should be doing. It’s harder and more of my approach to look at something and say, ‘OK, what are both sides.’ ”

LOS ANGELES – A judge approved a settlement between Halle Berry and her ex-boyfriend over child support payments for their 6-year-old daughter. The agreement approved by Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon on May 30 calls for Berry to pay ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry $16,000 a month or nearly $200,000 a year to support their daughter. The Oscar-winning actress will also pay for their daughter’s tuition, but the former couple will split health care expenses. The order also calls for Berry to pay her ex-boyfriend a retroactive payment of $115,000 and $300,000 to his attorneys to cover the costs of their custody dispute.

McCartney postpones some U.S. tour dates to recover NEW YORK – Paul McCartney is rescheduling U.S. tour dates as he continues to recover from a virus he received treatment for last month. The former Beatles singer announced Monday tour stops scheduled for mid-June will be postponed to October. He was supposed to kick off the U.S. leg of his tour Saturday. Instead his first show will be July 5 in Albany, New York. McCartney says he’s taking his doctor’s advice and will take more time to rest. Last month he canceled his “Out There Japan Tour 2014” because of his illness. U.S. tickets for the seven original June dates will be honored at the new dates. The tour wraps up Oct. 28 in Louisville, Kentucky. McCartney turns 72 next week.

Judge: Casey Kasem should be fed, hydrated LOS ANGELES – A judge ruled Monday that Casey Kasem

should be fed, hydrated and medicated while a court-appointed attorney evaluates the health of the ailing radio personality after his daughter moved to implement end of life measures. Kasem, who has dementia, was in critical condition in a Washington state hospital. His daughter Kerri Kasem, who has been placed in temporary control of his treatment, consulted with doctors and decided in recent days to stop giving her father food, water and medications, attorneys said in court. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Daniel S. Murphy ruled that Casey Kasem should receive the treatments while an attorney appointed by the judge meets with Kasem and his doctors. Kasem was admitted to the hospital with an infected bedsore last week.

British comedian Rik Mayall dies at 56 LONDON – Rik Mayall, one of a generation of performers that injected post-punk energy into British comedy, has died. He was 56. Mayall’s management firm Brunskill Management said the comedian died at his London home on Monday. In the 1980s Mayall was part of the Comic Strip, a hugely influential group of alternative young comics that included Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders and Mayall’s writing and performing partner, Adrian Edmondson. He was best known for co-writing and performing in “The Young Ones,” a sitcom about slovenly students that was much loved by those it satirized. On television he memorably played Conservative politician Alan B’stard in the sitcom “The New Statesman” and lecherous Lord Flashheart in comedy classic “Blackadder.” He and Edmondson also created and starred in “Bottom,” a surreally violent slapstick series about two unemployed slobs. Film appearances included the title role in 1991 fantasy “Drop Dead Fred” – which gained him a U.S. cult following – and 1999 British comedy “Guest House Paradiso.”

States consider Medicaid to pay college health plan premiums

TIP OF THE WEEK

Take care of your muscles By engaging in a workout routine, you’ve already proven you care for your body. But do you have a care plan for the muscles that take you to your next level of fitness? Warm up and cool down: Regardless of the sport or activity you pursue, it’s always best to ease into it slowly and build your endurance as you go. Warming up can include light jogging, walking or performing the activity at a very slow pace. At the end of your routine, be sure to lightly stretch out each major muscle group you worked. Listen to your body: If you should experience any sharp or sudden pains while exercising, don’t ignore the warning signs. Working out through the pain may make a small injury much worse. As a general rule, if it feels wrong, stop the workout. Engage in various activities: A body involved in different exercises will call on different muscle groups. This type of cross training prevents overly stressing one area of muscle. Allow the body to rest: To achieve the maximum benefit of your workout, your muscles need proper nourishment. This means sleep is extremely important, but it also means resting for a few days in between workouts. A proper rest period will give muscles time to heal.

NEW RESEARCH

Epilepsy help? About 50 million people have epilepsy worldwide. Of these, about 70 percent respond positively to anti-epileptic drugs. After two to five years of successful treatment, the drugs can be withdrawn in 70 percent of children and 60 percent of adults without relapses. Researchers from University College London believe the new “on demand” seizure suppressant pill may offer help to this 30 to 40 percent of epilepsy patients who do not respond successfully to AEDs.

KIDS’ HEALTH

Body fat facts Active children have a healthier distribution of body fat, regardless of their weight, according to a new study. “These results are interesting because it wasn’t a weight-loss study. More than half the kids who participated were at a healthy weight, and that allowed us to observe how exercise or lack of exercise affected body composition in normalweight and overweight children,” Naiman Khan, a postdoctoral researcher in the division of nutritional sciences at the University of Illinois, said in a university news release. The study included 220 children who were either 8 or 9 years old.

Under the health law, states can expand Medicaid coverage to adults with incomes up to 138 percent of the poverty level.

By MICHELLE ANDREWS

Kaiser Health News

ome students headed for college this fall will get topdrawer health coverage at little or no cost, because Medicaid will pay the premium for the college’s student health plan. The program is being used at some Minnesota and Montana colleges. Proponents say it gives students who are eligible for coverage under Medicaid, the state-federal health insurance program for low-income people, access to a wider network of providers at the local, national and even international levels. That can be an important consideration for many students who travel for internships and international study or who return to homes away from school during the summer. In addition, it generally improves student access to mental health and specialist services. Local doctors “often don’t want to participate in Medicaid, but they will participate in student health plans,” said Stephen Beckley, a consultant on college health insurance based in Fort Collins, Colorado.

One example Under the health law, states can expand Medicaid coverage to adults with incomes up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level (currently $16,105 for an individual). Now that about half of states have adopted that expansion, colleges in a number of states, including New York, Connecticut and Oregon, are eyeing Medicaid premium assistance programs for their schools. Cornell University in rural Ithaca, New York, is one of them. The school is working toward offering between 200 and 400 eligible in-state undergraduates student health plan coverage that’s paid for by the state Medicaid program this fall. “Traditionally, students who come to Cornell with Medicaid have access to few participating providers for specialist care, such as psychiatrists, orthopedists, and ear, nose and throat specialists,” said Valerie Lyon, associ-

ate director of business and financial services at the school’s health service. “There are only a few providers to begin with in the area, and many don’t participate in Medicaid.” Cornell’s student health plan coverage will cost $2,500 for the upcoming year, while the estimated cost to provide Medicaid coverage for a student will be $3,500, Lyon said. Details still are being worked out, but if all goes according to plan, the state Medicaid program will pay the student health plan premium and leave Medicaid coverage in place as secondary coverage to fill in any gaps in the student plan.

What is available Regulations issued last year by the Department of Health and Human Services made it clear that the Medicaid program is allowed to cover insurance premiums on the individual market for Medicaid-eligible people as long as their participation is voluntary and the cost of the coverage is comparable to the cost of providing coverage under the Medicaid program, among other things. (Student health plans are considered individual coverage.) In the past, before the health law required plans to eliminate lifetime and dollar limits on coverage and provide comprehensive benefits, coverage was much more likely to be skimpy. Now, most student plans are comparable to gold or platinum level plans on the health insurance exchanges, Beckley said. The Medicaid program also provides comprehensive health care that meets the standards of the health law. But low reimbursement rates and administrative headaches discourage providers from participating in the program, sometimes leading to long waits for care. Many students have multiple coverage options. In addition to student health plans and the possibility of Medicaid, many young people can stay on their parents’ health plan until they reach age 26 even if they’re financially independent or married. Students also can shop for a plan on the state health insurance exchanges and may be eligible for subsidies to make coverage more affordable. While Medicaid coverage of student health plan premiums may be a really good option for

Local doctors “often don’t want to participate in Medicaid, but they will participate in student health plans,” said Stephen Beckley, a consultant on college health insurance based in Fort Collins, Colorado. some students, “this isn’t going to work for everybody,” said Judith Solomon, vice president for health policy at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. The approach may work best for in-state students who are enrolled in colleges in states that have expanded Medicaid, experts say. Students who are eligible for Medicaid in another state may be out of luck. “It’s hard to see how you’re going to get Nevada Medicaid, for example, to buy the Yale student health plan,” Solomon said. Unless a state has expanded Medicaid, it’s unlikely many students will meet the criteria to qualify for Medicaid coverage in the first place. Montana is a case in point. The state hasn’t adopted the Medicaid expansion. Medicaid students who participate in the premium assistance program at Montana State University in Bozeman are generally pregnant, have children or are disabled, said Jim Mitchell, student health director at Montana State University. “It could potentially be many more,” he said.

Providing care for family members not a good idea When it comes to the medical care of members of their own families, some doctors get very involved, others do not. By getting very involved, I mean they actually provide the medical care of a family member. This is not the recommended approach. Except for treating some minor maladies of family members, I mainly offer advice and tell them to call their doctor. I have given up giving medical advice to my wife because she seldom follows it. My children, especially when they were younger, rarely asked me any medical questions because they looked at me more as a daddy than a doctor.

VIEWS Dr. Murray Feingold However, all of this changed when they became parents. For a variety of reasons, providing medical advice concerning your grandchildren is not always easy. You frequently can’t personally examine the child because he or she is located in another state. Therefore, the medical information, which may or may not be totally accurate, is provided via the telephone. Another drawback, you may think more like a grandfather

than a physician, and this may result in over-diagnosing, such as a routine headache being a brain tumor. Also, you are too emotionally involved. An example of this was when my granddaughter Molly was born. She was born in a quaint but up-to-date hospital in New Hampshire. It was very folksy and had a friendly environment (if you consider allowing the family dog to visit as friendly). My wife and I arrived at the hospital two hours after Molly was delivered. I was told that mother and child were resting comfortably in room 212, so off we went to see our newest grandchild. But before I tell you

what greeted us in room 212, let me relate a little background history. In my earlier days as a doctor, when I entered the newborn nursery to see a baby, I was adorned in a hospital gown, a surgical cap and face mask and wore sterile gloves. Although research has shown that such precautions are unnecessary, I continue to wear a hospital gown and face mask when seeing newborns. As we approached room 212, I heard voices, and the closer we got, the louder the clamor. When we arrived, I discovered the source of these voices. The room was filled wall to wall with people.

In the center of all of this din and commotion was my 2-hour-old granddaughter, being passed from one potentially infectious person to another. I envisioned every pathogenic bacteria and virus attacking my unsuspecting newborn granddaughter. But fortunately this did not take place, and Molly, and her grandfather, survived this onslaught of visitors.

Before choosing surgery, make sure it’s what you need By CHRISTIE ASCHWANDEN The Washington Post

Former Baltimore Ravens cheerleader Molly Shattuck exercises with her a trusty water bottle and her dog, Lizzie Mae. Her new book “Vibrant Living” offers a 21-day plan for transforming yourself.

A cheerleader’s rules for living Molly Shattuck shares tips in new book By VICKY HALLETT The Washington Post Molly Shattuck used to cheer for the Baltimore Ravens. Now she wants to cheer for you. In her new book, “Vibrant Living” ($25, Hilton, mollyshattuck.com), Shattuck lays out a 21-day plan to help you “transform your body, burst with energy and live your life with purpose.” The rules she developed are based on decades of careful study – of herself. “My experience comes from my years of living,” said Shattuck, who was a 38-yearold mother of three when she picked up her pompoms for the Ravens in 2005, making her the oldest cheerleader in NFL history. Although she has retired from the squad (and turns 47 this month), Shattuck hasn’t lost her pep or impressive physique, which explains why people are constantly asking for her secrets. Shattuck has never belonged to a gym. She’s never hired a personal trainer.

She’s never deprived herself of dessert. But she always carries around a water bottle. “Water is the wonder drug,” said Shattuck, who first realized the power of hydration after the birth of her first child. The more water she drank, the more milk she produced and the faster she lost the 50 pounds she’d gained during the pregnancy. Her recommendation for people trying her program? Down at least 90 ounces a day. The first 30 should come within 40 minutes of waking up, and before eating breakfast. Finish the second 30 before lunch, and the final 30 before dinner. “You’ll be so much more awake, and it keeps you from overeating,” Shattuck said. That’ll help you stick with her 21-day meal plan, which limits processed foods and loads up on fruits and veggies. And when you want something naughty? Just have a little. “Put seven french fries on the plate, chew them slowly and enjoy it,” Shattuck said.

Then, “walk away, drink water, brush your teeth and be done with it.” You can balance out any extra calories by embracing Shattuck’s strategy of exercising daily. When it comes to what to do, Shattuck is open to any activity – and the more you can mix it up, the better. She recommends copying her every-other-day pushup routine, which she credits for keeping her stomach taut. (“I’d heard of an NFL player who didn’t lift any weights and became muscular from pushups. I decided, ‘I’m going to try that.’ Now I’m 100 percent convinced,” Shattuck said.) In her book, she offers 21 days of workouts. On top of that, she tacks on an additional daily “knockout move,” such as leg lifts and lunges. Get up during commercial breaks when you’re watching TV to check those off your list, Shattuck suggests. Besides the many other reasons why sitting is bad for you, Shattuck is convinced that pressure on your rear end can make it get wider.

People with hearing loss can find support online Dear Abby: As the executive director of the Hearing Loss Association of America, may I suggest that “Mortified at the Dinner Table” (March 2), who wrote about her in-laws’ poor hearing even with hearing aids, connect with one of our 200-plus local HLAA chapters at www.hearingloss.org? These member-led groups offer emotional support, camaraderie, communication strategies and techniques for living with hearing loss, both for people who have hearing loss as well as their families and friends. Most chapters also share information about assistive listening devices that link via a telecoil found in most modern hearing aids that could greatly enhance her in-laws’ hearing around the dinner table. “Mortified” also might want to accompany her inlaws to a hearing aid evaluation visit at an audiologist’s office to learn more about their particular hearing difficulties. There is more to correcting hearing loss than buying hearing aids. Some users benefit from assistive listening devices or from listening training that can be done at home with a personal computer. By joining HLAA, “Mortified” can receive Hearing

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Loss Magazine and get the latest information about hearing loss and how to live well with it. – Anna Gilmore Hall Dear Ms. Hall: Thank you for your letter and the information you generously provided. Any reader with hearing loss should check out the HLAA website for a more detailed description of the services it provides. Read on: Dear Abby: Many people who wear hearing aids find noisy environments problematic. As people age, their ability to understand can be difficult even with hearing aids. As a practicing audiologist, I recommend the following to my patients to help make communication easier: 1) Test hearing annually so hearing aids can be reprogrammed to current hearing levels if necessary. 2) Follow up with the audiologist for regular hearing aid maintenance and care. 3) In restaurants, ask to be seated away from high noise level areas; preferential seating may help. 4) Reserve confidential discussions for another time and location, which would make

them easier for people with hearing loss to understand. –

Audiologist In Pennsylvania Dear Abby: My 91-year-old mother is hard of hearing. I take her out to dinner once a week. I don’t worry about what people around us are thinking. It doesn’t matter what she wants to talk about. I’m just glad she’s able to get out and converse with others. The conversations at tables near us are sometimes so obnoxious that I’m GLAD my mother can’t hear them. People are normally very courteous about helping me with her, and many have told me they wished their parents were still alive and able to have dinner with them. –

Judy In Arizona Dear Abby: Your advice to “Mortified” was certainly not taking into account the other diners’ feelings that this writer was so admirably describing. Everyone around that table paid for – and deserves – to have a pleasant dining experience, too. This includes not being subjected to others’ cellphone conversations, unruly children or excessively loud conversations regardless of their content. – Marianne

The last piece of her plan is unconventional, Shattuck admits. But “living for others” – by volunteering in a soup kitchen, reading books to the elderly or finding another way to help out in your community – has a real impact on how you feel. “I know it doesn’t sound as important as exercise, but it elevates your spirit and mood,” said Shattuck, who is married to Mayo Shattuck III, chairman of the Exelon Corp. She spends much of her time volunteering in Baltimore and Washington and, in 2008, appeared on an episode of “Secret Millionaire,” doling out $190,000 to people in need. Her mom duties never get in the way of any of these principles, Shattuck said, because she includes her children in everything she does. And she’s taught them the first step toward any goal: “writing it down.” Once she puts something on paper, Shattuck is determined to make it a reality. That’s good news for anyone reading her book.

More than 15 million Americans undergo surgery each year, but there’s growing recognition that some elective operations may be more about the surgeon’s preference than about the patient’s need for the procedure. Researchers at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy & Clinical Practice released a report last year showing some doctors routinely send their patients to surgery more often than other physicians do. For instance, Medicare patients in Casper, Wyo., were found to be more than seven times as likely to get elective back surgery for back pain as Medicare patients in Honolulu. When surgeons develop expertise at a particular procedure, they can begin to see every patient as a potential candidate, said Rosemary Gibson, an editor for the journal JAMA Internal Medicine and the author of “The Treatment Trap.” One physician she interviewed for the book described how a hospital that specializes in heart bypass surgery performed operations on people whose condition did not require them. “They had a production line and were just racking them up,” he told her. So how do you make sure that when your doctor suggests surgery, it’s the best decision for you? Begin by asking a lot of questions. “Is this surgery necessary?” is the most important, of course, said David Meyers, director of the Center for Primary Care, Prevention, and Clinical Partnerships at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. The center publishes a list of 12 questions to ask before opting for surgery. Among them: What are the alternatives? What are the risks? What will happen if I don’t have this operation? Never choose surgery without exploring nonsurgical options first, advises Joshua Jacobs, president of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and chairman of orthopedic surgery at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. In general, surgery is recommended only when less inva-

“It’s reasonable to inquire about how often [doctors] do the procedure or operate on people similar to you.” Joshua Jacobs Chairman of orthopedic surgery, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago sive treatments have failed or when it’s clear a surgical repair will deliver a better result than nonsurgical treatments, Jacobs said. A new surgical risk calculator developed by the American College of Surgeons can help, said Clifford Ko, director of the group’s division of research and optimal patient care. The calculator allows your doctor to enter information about you and the surgical procedure you’re considering to estimate your risk of complications using a database of records from patients at more than 500 hospitals. Some orthopedic procedures, such as joint replacements, involve devices made by multiple companies. In cases where more than one product can do the job, “ask your surgeon: Why this device?” Jacobs said. “What’s been your experience with this particular one?” Surgery is a big deal, so ask for a second opinion before making a decision. “If I asked a doctor for a second opinion and they balked, I would be worried,” Meyers said. “It’s reasonable to inquire about how often they do the procedure or operate on people similar to you,” Jacobs says. “If the surgeon does 100 or 200 procedures per year, you’ll probably have a better outcome than if they only do 10.” Before you schedule surgery, ask your surgeon how long it will take to recover and what limitations you’ll face during the post-op period, Jacobs said. Also find out what you can do to maximize your recovery. Some operations require physical therapy or other rehabilitation to achieve best results. Only agree to surgery once you understand what results you can expect and how these compare to your other options.

Drivers diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease don’t belong on the road Dear Dr. K: My father has Alzheimer’s disease. Is it unsafe for him to drive? Dear Reader: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a form of dementia that worsens over time. It often affects shortterm memory early on, and then progresses to impair other cognitive functions such as thinking and judgment. As AD advances, most people lose their ability to do normal daily activities. Your question – whether your father should stop driving – is a common concern for families of a loved one with AD. The automobile has become a part of who we are in the United States. It gives us a sense of independence and the means to go nearly anywhere. Also, in many cities (like Los Angeles, where I was raised), public transportation is not nearly good enough to substitute for an automobile. To lose the freedom to drive and to become dependent on taxis, buses or subways, is for many people a sad thing to contemplate. But when you drive a car, you control more than a ton of steel moving at high speed. Of course the world around you has to be concerned if you can’t control it. Safe driving requires a

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff complex interaction of eyes, brain and muscles. It also requires the ability to respond quickly to unexpected circumstances. One study found the driving skills of people with even mild Alzheimer’s were significantly poorer than those of other elderly people, including those with some other forms of dementia. Some people believe driving privileges should not be taken away until a person clearly becomes an unsafe driver. But it makes no sense to me to say that a person has to prove he or she is an unsafe driver by getting into an accident that was clearly caused by failing faculties – especially when that accident damages more than property. Your father’s general behavior in non-driving situations can give you some clues as to whether safety is likely to be an issue. For example, if your father exhibits poor judgment, inattentiveness to what’s going on around him, clumsiness, and slow or inappropriate reactions, then

those are clear signs that he should not drive. If you feel it is time for your father to stop driving, some experts would suggest you try simply taking away his keys. If his dementia is substantial, after a period of confusion about where the keys are, he may simply forget about them. Try to preserve his selfesteem. Some people agree to stop driving for reasons other than concern about their competency. For example, you might tell your father that his car needs repair, or that the license or registration has expired. Getting objective feedback from an impartial person can help. Some people with AD will accept a written prescription from a doctor that says, “Do not drive.” If that doesn’t convince him, then his doctor may be able to have his driver’s license suspended with a written statement. If nothing else works, you may have to sell the car.

Jon Bon Jovi said, “Success is falling nine times and getting up 10.” Success in three no-trump is getting up nine tricks and falling four times. How should South plan to do that in this deal after West leads the spade king? South starts with eight top tricks: one spade, two hearts, four diamonds and one club. The extra winner might come from hearts or clubs. In isolation, in hearts, one would cash dummy’s king, then take a inesse; or, in clubs, take two inesses. The snag is that all of those inesses are into the West hand, the defender who presumably has long and strong spades (to be leading declarer’s known four-card suit). Is there anything better? Of course! South should duck the irst two rounds of spades to ind out if the suit is 4-3 or worse. If it is worse, he had better run his diamonds to try to bring pressure to bear on West, then probably hope that the heart inesse works. Here, though, spades are 4-3. Now it cannot hurt declarer to take the third spade

and return his fourth spade, pitching a heart and a club from the board. If West shifts to a heart or club, it concedes the contract. So let’s assume he safely leads a diamond. South takes the trick on the board and runs the club 10. That loses and West produces another diamond. Now declarer should play off his two top hearts. Here, the queen drops and the contract is home. But if she does not appear, after cashing his last two diamond tricks, South should plan on taking a second club inesse.
