CL sports league criticized over pay Leader gets $20K a year, other officials get zero, says referee

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A referee with the Crystal Lake Basketball Association has criticized the organization for failing to pay its scorekeepers and officials while the director brings in a roughly $20,000 salary.

Recent 990 tax return forms show league director Robert McIntyre was paid $22,790 in 2011 and $19,705 in 2012 compared with practices in other youth leagues, such as the Cary Basketball Association, where no board members or directors were paid.

While scorekeepers and officials in the Crystal Lake Basketball Association were paid in 2011 and 2012, they were not paid this fiscal year. Michael Citrano, an Illinois High School Association referee who also works with the Crystal Lake and Cary basketball associations, said it was a poor practice while the organization has financially struggled over the last few years.

“Shame on you,” Citrano wrote to McIntyre in an email. “I thought that this was about the kids. No wonder the program is broke.”

McIntyre has been involved in local youth basketball programs for 23 years – including helping launch the Cary association – and told referees and scorekeepers in an email it is the first time he was unable to pay the workers and was working hard to find the funds to compensate them.

4 lesbian couples marry in McHenry Woodstock woman who wed partner of 26 years: ‘We are making history’

Deb Glaubke and Gale Harris of Woodstock celebrate after being pronounced married Sunday at the Tree of Life Unitarian Universalist Congregation in McHenry. Glaubke and Harris have been a couple for 26 years, and applied for their marriage license on June 2.

LOCAL

McHENRY – The significance of Sunday became clearer for Gale Harris and Deb Glaubke in the moments before they walked hand-in-hand down the aisle at the Tree of Life Unitarian Universalist Congregation in McHenry.

Locked into a 26-year-old relationship, the lesbian couple from Woodstock already had major celebrations for their commitment ceremony in 1989, a year after the two met at a friend’s party, and again in 2012 after entering into a civil union.

But the ho-hum feeling of Sunday being just another milestone quickly

Bergdahl says he was tortured by Taliban

By LOLITA C. BALDOR The Associated Press PARIS – U.S. Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has told people treating him at an American military medical facility in Germany that he was tortured, beaten and held in a cage by his Taliban captors in Afghanistan after he tried to escape, a senior U.S. official said Sunday.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss what Bergdahl has revealed about the conditions of his captivity. The New York Times first reported on the matter.

The official said it was difficult to verify the accounts Bergdahl has given since his release a week ago.

Bergdahl, now 28, was captured in June 2009 after he disappeared from his infantry unit. He was held for nearly five years by Taliban militants.

Taliban spokesmen could not be immediately reached for comment Sunday. On Friday, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told The Associated Press by telephone that Bergdahl was held under “good conditions.” The

ism fight against the United States, Kerry said.

“But they also have an ability to get killed doing that, and I don’t think anybody should doubt the capacity of the United States of America to protect Americans. ... So these guys pick a fight with us in the future or now or at any time at enormous risk,” Kerry said.

The deal, which the Obama White House pulled off without adhering to a law requiring 30 days’ notice before the release of Guantanamo detainees, ignited a political firestorm that shows no signs of abating.

Lawmakers, both Republicans and Democrats, who initially praised Bergdahl’s release backed off amid questions about whether he was a deserter who walked away from his post and an outcry over the exchange.

Some of Bergdahl’s fellow soldiers maintain that Americans died during efforts to find and save him.

Also, there is great concern that the high-level Taliban officials will resume activities with the Taliban and threaten members of the U.S. military in Afghanistan.

decompression, he is expected to be flown to an Army medical center in San Antonio, where it is believed he will be reunited with his family.

Bergdahl was returned to the U.S. military in exchange for the release of five Taliban militants from the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

“It would have been offensive and incomprehensible to consciously leave an American behind, no matter what,” Secretary of State John Kerry said.

Qatar, a tiny Gulf state, served as a go-between during the negotiations, and has ongoing role in ensuring the five released prisoners remain there for at least a year, under a memo of understanding with the U.S. The Qataris aren’t “the only ones keeping an on eye on them,” Kerry said in an interview broadcast Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

He said the U.S. has confidence in the restrictions imposed on the former detainees, as a condition of their release.

“I am not telling you that they don’t have some ability at some point to go back and get involved” in the terror-

claim could not be independently verified.

Military doctors at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center say that while Bergdahl is physically able to travel he’s not yet emotionally prepared to be reunited with his family. He has not yet spoken to his family.

It’s unclear when he may get to go home.

The Pentagon said in a statement Sunday that Sgt. Bowe it would not comment Bergdahl on Bergdahl’s discussions with those caring for him.

Typically, a returned captive would spend from five days to three weeks in the phase of reintegration in which Bergdahl now finds himself, according to a Pentagon psychologist who is an expert in dealing with military members who have been released from captivity. The psychologist spoke to reporters Thursday on condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the Pentagon.

KAMPALA, Uganda – Speak no Hebrew.

That’s what Ugandan teachers repeatedly tell the South Sudanese teenagers transplanted here from Israel. But Hebrew is what they speak when they are not being watched; it’s the language they grew up with as migrants.

In recent years Africans have poured into Israel, causing friction with locals and alarming some authorities who say Israel’s Jewish character is threatened by the presence of the Africans.

After leaving Israel the teenagers spent a few months in their home country, South

Sudan, where they struggled because of the threat of hunger, tropical diseases and the country’s political tensions. They later were relocated to Uganda thanks mainly to the work of an Israeli activist who has criticized his country’s policy toward African migrants as Israel’s “moment of shame.”

The 44-year-old activist, Rami Gudovitch, entered the lives of the teenagers as both father figure and friend, first by trying to prevent their im-

Fire damages Burger King in Algonquin ALGONQUIN – A late-night fire at Burger King in Algonquin caused about $10,000 in damage.

The Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Department responded to a commercial fire alarm and calls from Burger King employees about fire and smoke in bathroom walls at 11:05 p.m. Saturday.

Firefighters arrived at 224 S. Randall Road four minutes later to find smoke and fire coming from the main entrance on the restaurant’s west side, according to a news release from the fire department.

Firefighters put out the fire from inside and outside the restaurant. The fire was out at 11:42 p.m. and crews stayed on the scene until 1 a.m. investigating, according to the news release.

Restaurant employees were closing at the time of the fire. No one else was inside the building at the time. No injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation, according to the release sent out Sunday morning. The fire caused an estimated $10,000 in damage.

Huntley, Carpentersville, Cary, Crystal Lake and Fox River Grove sent fire crews to assist the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Department.

Karl Dencker has worked as a corporate executive for Macmillan publishing company in the Colliers Encyclopedia division, worked in real estate, and has owned a roller rink. He retired in the early 1980s.

For the last 10 years he has served as president of the Northwest Illinois Bridge District 8-Unit 239. He is currently planning a bridge tournament for June 16 to June 22 at the Crystal Lake Holiday Inn. However, he does plan to retire from his post soon.

Dencker recently received the Goodwill Member of the Year award from the American Contract Bridge League, for “unselfish dedication to the causes of good conduct, worthy participation and ethical behavior.”

Dencker recently spoke with reporter Joseph Bustos about playing the award and playing bridge.

Bustos: Why did you get the award?

Dencker: I suppose a lot of it was the work this unit has done. I’ve been president for 10 years. When I took over as president, I think we were running about 500 tables of bridge, the regional tournament was in Rockford.

I brought it up. This year ... we’ll be running 1,200 tables.

That’s a lot of work. We have the largest tournament in the state of Illinois.

Bustos: How many people go to these tournaments?

Dencker: You probably have in this coming one, 1,100 people. They come from

I put on seven tournaments a year, I know how to put on a tournament, but when I go to a tournament, I don’t play much bridge ... because I’m so busy.

Bustos: How did you get into bridge?

Dencker: We were living in St. Charles, and started playing in the park district down there. We played down there, I guess we played for quite a while and moved up

here and started playing at the Dole Mansion. We played some sanctioned games, and some nonsanctioned games.

Bustos: Did you start playing to socialize with people?

Dencker: I suppose. It’s a funny thing about duplicate bridge. We were just starting out, and a lady came in, who I didn’t know, with her husband, but it was like a family reunion. People are hugging, [asking] ‘how are you?’ ... this is what happens.

Bustos: You mentioned you were retiring?

Dencker: I’ve done it for a number of years, and we run great tournaments. The reputation is outstanding, and like all good things, it’s time to pass the wand on to somebody else and allow them the opportunity to do one of two things: either screw it up or make it better than what it was. I hope it’s makes it better than what it was.

Microbeads banned in cosmetics and soaps

CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation Sunday that he says gives Illinois the distinction as the first state in the nation to ban the sale and manufacture of soaps and cosmetics containing microbeads.

Synthetic plastic microbeads – billed as a way to exfoliate or scrub surfaces – are found in facial cleansers, body washes and even some toothpastes.

But environmental experts have raised concerns of plastic pollution in waterways, saying microbeads can build up and accumulate toxic chemicals that could threaten the food chain.

The new Illinois law seeks to prohibit the manufacture of such products by the end of 2018 and the sale of the products by the end of 2019.

“Banning microbeads will help ensure clean waters across Illinois and set an example for our nation to follow,” Quinn, a Chicago Democrat, said in a statement. “Lake Michigan and the many rivers and lakes across our state are among our most important natural resources. We must do everything necessary to safeguard them.”

Legislatures in other states, including New York and California, have considered similar bans.

Some environmentalists have questioned the long rollout in Illinois.

Quinn, Emanuel attend gay marriage celebration

CHICAGO – A swanky brunch paying tribute Sunday to those who helped pass Illinois’ new same-sex marriage law wasn’t free from election-year politics as organizers deemed Gov. Pat

Quinn “the most pro-gay governor in the history of Illinois” and knocked his Republican re-election challenger.

Quinn faces a difficult bid against businessman Bruce Rauner, who hasn’t specified his views on gay marriage but said he’d be open to changing the law if efforts are voter-driven.

Gay marriage hasn’t been a major issue in the governor’s race where talk of Illinois’ massive financial problems has dominated, but it generated headlines this month as the law took effect.

Last week Quinn stood at the altar during one longtime couple’s wedding and Rauner took heat from activists for not articulating his views.

Art Johnston, founder of Equality Illinois, which pushed for the law, echoed that idea during Sunday’s champagne brunch at a downtown hotel attended by both Democrats and Republicans. He praised Quinn’s decision to sign the law as a moral one and blasted Rauner without mentioning him by name.

“If he were governor, this June would not be a time of celebration and pride,” Johnston said of Rauner before introducing Quinn as “the most pro-gay governor in the history of Illinois.”

More time sought for robber who wanted prison term

CHICAGO – A 74-year-old man who gained notoriety for robbing a Niles bank so he could return to a life behind bars should receive more prison time because his 2013 holdup violated conditions of his parole for a 1998 heist, U.S. prosecutors argue in recent court filings.

Walter Unbehaun robbed the BMO Harris Bank last year wielding a cane but no disguise.

He shocked arresting officers later by telling them his plan was to get caught so he could go back “home” to prison.

U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman in Chicago

sentenced Unbehaun in April to 3½ years for that heist.

But prosecutors now want another federal judge to tack on 1½ more years because the holdup violated his parole.

Verdict expected in Chicago barge explosion case

CHICAGO – A federal judge in Chicago is expected to issue a verdict this week in the case of a tugboat captain charged with negligence in a deadly 2005 explosion.

Closing arguments were heard Friday in the trial of 36-year-old Dennis Egan.

Prosecutors say he illegally allowed deckhand Alex Oliva to use a propane torch to unfreeze a cargo pump. That, they say, set off an explosion that killed Oliva, sank the barge and dumped 600,000 gallons of oil into the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal.

Egan’s attorney says he’s being unfairly blamed for a “tragic accident.”

ROCKFORD – A northern Illinois coroner says her office is burying the remains of two baby girls found beneath garbage in the trunk of their mother’s car to “give them some dignity.”

Winnebago County Coroner Sue Fiduccia tells the Rockford Register Star they’d been “thrown away like trash.”

They’ll be buried Wednesday at the Calvary Cemetery west of Rockford.

Detectives found their skeletal remains in 2009 while examining Katie Stockton’s car. Stockton’s serving a 50-year prison term in the death of another daughter, called Baby Crystal.

During five years of a stillongoing investigation, the two girls’ remains were kept in Fiduccia’s office.

A recent court order allowed her to bury them.

Because if I didn't, I'd experience a burning sensation through my esophaguslike somebody poured hot lead or battery acid down my throat. Add to that those disgusting "mini-throw ups" and I was in "indigestion hell".

Doctors put me on all sorts of antacid remedies. But nothing worked. Or if they did, it would only be for a brief period. And then boom! My nightmare would return. hen one day at dinner, a friend of mine said, "Why don't you try an aloe drink?" I said, "Aloe drink? Jeez. hat doesn't sound good at all!" he next day he brought me a case of something called AloeCure®.

I was shocked! AloeCure® tasted pretty good too. It has a pleasant grape lavor that I actually enjoy drinking. I decided to experiment. I stopped taking the PPIs altogether and replaced it with a daily diet of AloeCure®. hen something remarkable happened - NOTHING! Not even the slightest hint of indigestion.

And here's the best part. he next day we had Italian food - my worst enemy. But for the irst time in 40 years I didn't need pills or tablets to avoid indigestion. hank you AloeCure®!

No shortage of info in Detroit bankruptcy

Israel no longer unifies U.S. Jews

City sends documents detailing proposed changes to retirees

NEW YORK – Once a unifying cause for generations of American Jews, Israel is now bitterly dividing Jewish communities.

Jewish organizations are withdrawing invitations to Jewish speakers or performers considered too critical of Israel, in what opponents have denounced as an ideological litmus test meant to squelch debate. Some Jewish activists have formed watchdog groups, such as Citizens Opposed to Propaganda Masquerading as Art, or COPMA, and JCC Watch, to monitor programming for perceived anti-Israel bias. They argue Jewish groups that take donations for strengthening the community shouldn’t be giving a platform to Israel’s critics.

American campuses have become ideological battle zones over Israeli policy in

By ED WHITE The Associated Press DETROIT – Retired Detroit bus driver Art Vardiman recently received a computer disk in the mail that contains hundreds of pages of documents. He also got a six-page blue ballot about cuts to his pension and a white one about health insurance. A 25-page notice explains why the changes are being proposed in Detroit’s historic bankruptcy.

Vardiman, 63, keeps it all in a box near an easy chair in his living room. Confusing? He would rather steer a full coach through rush hour traffic in downtown Detroit than try to make sense of it all.

“Picture a person 70 to 80 years old,” said Vardiman, who retired 10 years ago.

“You think they’re going to go through all that? It’s tough.”

But he and thousands of others must try to make sense of the legalese and complexities of the largest public bankruptcy filing in U.S. history and cast votes that will affect how much they will earn for the rest of their lives.

Detroit’s bankruptcy is at a critical stage after the Michigan Legislature last week approved a $195 million lifeline to help prevent steep cuts in Detroit’s pensions and the sale of city-owned art. With Gov. Rick Snyder expected to sign the measure this week, attention now turns to the tens of thousands of creditors, especially 32,000 active, former or retired employees, who have until July 11 to vote on the city’s plan to shed $18 billion in debt and become solvent again.

The stakes are great – and painful. General retirees – trash haulers, mechanics, janitors, clerks – would see a 4.5 percent cut in their pension and the elimination of annual inflation payments. In addition, some who received generous annuity returns from the pension fund, even in awful market conditions, would be forced to give back as much as 20 percent. Detroit insists the cuts will be even worse if the plan is rejected.

“I’ve been talking to retirees all over the country: Oregon, Arizona, Florida – all over. The whole process is completely alien to a lot of people,” said lawyer Carole Neville, who represents a group that negotiated on behalf of

Detroit retirees.

“The bankruptcy. The vote.

What is this CD/DVD I got in the mail?” she said. “We have a hotline to help people, and we have gotten a lot of calls and emails.”

The bankruptcy process is an unusual course where not every vote is equal. Creditors are in certain classes, and their individual vote is weighted depending on the size of their financial claim in the case.

“It’s not easy to explain,” Neville said.

Public forums about the voting process have turned hostile with people venting about the financial sacrifice.

The average annual pension for police and fire retirees now is $32,000, while most other retired city workers get $19,000 to $20,000.

Don Taylor, president of the Retired Detroit Police and Fire Fighters Association, which has about 7,000 members, said any early confusion among his members faded after more information was shared. It helps that police and fire retirees are being treated more favorably than others. Their annual cost-of-living increase is being shaved to 1 percent, not eliminated, because their pension fund is in better shape.

“Their pensions are not being reduced. It’s the best possible outcome from the circumstances,” said Taylor, a retiree who voted yes. “They may glance through this stuff, but I don’t think anybody is going to read the entire thing.”

NATION BRIEFS Donations swell for campus shooting hero SEATTLE – More than $60,000 has been donated online for the victims and hero of the shooting that left one dead and two injured at a small Seattle university.

As of Sunday afternoon, a fundraising page for Jon Meis, a student who pepper-sprayed and tackled the gunman Thursday at Seattle Pacific University, had grossed more than $44,000.

A fundraising page to cover the costs of Paul Lee’s funeral and Sarah Williams’ medical care is nearing $13,000.

Another page started by Williams’ family had raised nearly $5,000. More donations are expected.

The outpouring of financial gifts and support followed days of mourning at the Christian university.

A lone gunman armed with a shotgun opened fire in a university building, killing 19-year-old Lee and wounding Williams, who remains hospitalized.

The other injured person has been released from the hospital.

Knee Pain?

NEW FDA APPROVED TREATMENT PROVEN TO RELIEVE KNEE PAIN

You DO NOT Have to Suffer From Knee Pain Any Longer!

HOW DOES THIS TREATMENT WORK?

Over 100 million Americans suffer from knee and joint pain? This pain accounts for 25 percent of all visits to primary care physicians and half of all anti-infl ammatory drug prescriptions.

Have you ever wondered how different your life would be if you could get rid of your knee pain?

Where would you go, what would you do? What would you give for a day, a week or a lifetime of pain-free mobility? We are pleased to announce that knee pain sufferers don’t have to wait any longer to get the most advanced, non-surgical, FDAapproved treatment.

If you suffer from any degree of knee pain, we invite you to regain control of your life by visiting Superior Health & Wellness, a state-of-the-art medical facility.

We use diagnostic ultrasound, allowing the doctor to pinpoint problem areas with extreme accuracy. A viscosupplement is then injected, and the healing process begins. Viscosupplementation bonds with naturally occurring joint fluid to create a lubricating and cushioning layer. It reduces pain, inflammation and swelling of the joint.

Patients compare the treatment to getting a shot at the doctor’s office, and report little pain or discomfort.

WHAT IS INJECTED INTO THE KNEE? Hyaluronic acid is similar to substances that occur naturally in your joint. The outside of the joint (joint capsule) is comprised of a sturdy, fibrous tissue. The lining of the joint capsule contains synovial cells, which secrete a thick, viscous synovial fluid. Hyaluronic acid contributes to the viscous nature of the joint fluid, nourishes the cartilage, helps eliminate waste products, lubricates the joint and acts as a shock absorber inside the joint.

Hyaluronic acid is reduced or lost from those who suffer from osteoarthritis. It is similar to changing the oil in your car. If your car were to run low on oil, you would have some serious wear and tear on the moving parts.

WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS (OA)?

Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease, is the most common type of arthritis. In osteoarthritis, the surface layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away. This allows the bones under the cartilage to rub together, resulting in pain, swelling and loss of motion of the joint. Although in some people it progresses quickly, in most individuals joint damage develops gradually over years.

WHAT CAUSES OSTEOARTHRITIS? The exact cause of osteoarthritis is unknown.

Factors that might cause it include the following: • Being overweight • Getting older (wear and tear) • Joint injury • Joints that are not properly formed (alignment/ imbalance problems) • A genetic defect in the joint cartilage • Stresses on the joints from certain activities, including sports, work and leisure activities

WILL MY PAIN GO AWAY OVER TIME?

ing them at point-blank range before fleeing to a nearby WalMart where they killed a third person and then themselves in an apparent suicide pact, authorities said Sunday.

The shooters walked into CiCi’s Pizza and gunned down officers Alyn Beck, 41, and Igor Soldo, 31, Las Vegas police officials said.

One of the officers was able to fire back before he died, but it’s unclear if he hit the shooters, Sheriff Doug Gillespie of the Las Vegas Metro Police Department said at a news conference Sunday afternoon.

One of the shooters yelled, “This is a revolution,” but a motive remains under investigation, Las Vegas police spokesman Larry Hadfield told The Associated Press. He added that “we don’t know anything about the suspects yet.”

After shooting the officers, the pair fled to the Wal-Mart across the street, where they killed a person inside the front door and exchanged gunfire with police before killing themselves, police said.

The female shot the male before killing herself, Gillespie said.

The victim’s identity hasn’t been confirmed, and the shooters’ names haven’t been released.

over Israel, the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations, a national coalition that for decades has represented the American Jewish community, denied membership in April to J Street, the 6-year-old lobby group that describes itself as pro-Israel and pro-peace and has sometimes criticized the Israeli government. Opponents of J Street have been showing a documentary called “The J Street Challenge,” in synagogues and at Jewish gatherings around

the country, characterizing the group as a threat from within.

“I believe this has reached a level of absurdity now,” said Rabbi Sharon Brous, founder of the IKAR-LA Jewish community in California, which is considered a national model for reinvigorating religious life. “Even where people are acting from a place of love and deep commitment that Israel remains a vital and vibrant state, they are considered outside the realm. It’s seen as incredibly threatening and not aligned with the script the American Jewish community expects.”

American Jews have always vigorously debated Israeli policy, but mostly within the community and with an understanding that differences would be set aside if the Jewish state faced an existential threat. But the discussion within the U.S. has become more reflective of the very broad debate within Israel.

If you answered yes to at least 4 of these questions, you are ready to experience the relief and healing found at Superior Health & Wellness.

Start living your life

PAIN FREE!

What Do Patients Say? I had reached a point that I could no longer work out in the yard for more than 15 minutes. I couldn’t lift anything heavy, and some days I would have to use a cane because my knee hurt so much. I no longer need to do that. It is progressively getting better each week. Thank you Superior Health & Wellness for caring about my wellness!

– Jenn B. “I had suffered from severe knee pain for months. I went to four different specialists without any relief. When I called Superior Health & Wellness, the staff was understanding and knowledgeable, schedules were rearranged and treatment was provided immediately.

THANK YOU for helping me.”

– Joann F.

WHAT ELSE IS AVAILABLE TO TREAT KNEE PAIN? After careful study and several trials, the FDA approved a new treatment aimed at helping those with knee pain. This new treatment is a high-tech answer for all those who think that surgery, dietary supplements and prescription medications are the only option to eliminate knee pain.

Consider these facts before surgery People who suffer from knee pain typically try supplements or pain medications before seeking help from a doctor. When all else fails and the pain is too much, some feel that surgery is the only option.

Before you put yourself through months of immobility, pain, rehab and hefty medical bills, consider something else.

Miss Nevada Nia Sanchez crowned as 63rd Miss USA

INTRODUCING EXTREME 505.

By STACEY PLAISANCE The Associated Press BATON ROUGE, La. – Miss Nevada Nia Sanchez, a fourth-degree black belt in the Korean martial art of taekwondo, was crowned Miss USA 2014 on Sunday night.

The 24-year-old from Las Vegas beat out 50 other contestants from all the states and the District of Columbia for the title of 63rd Miss USA. First runner-up was Miss North Dakota Audra Mari. Erin Brady, of South Glastonbury, Connecticut, the 2013 winner, gave up her crown to Sanchez after a three-hour telecast from the Baton Rouge Civic Center in Louisiana.

Other runner-ups, judged on interviews, evening gowns and swimsuits, were: home state beauty queen Miss Louisiana Brittany Guidry, Miss Georgia Tiana Griggs, Miss Florida Brittany Oldehoff and Miss Iowa Carlyn Bradarich.

All the titles included USA after the state.

Bradarich got a second chance when the viewing audience gave her the most votes on Twitter in the pageant’s first-ever “Save the Queen” option.

Sanchez will go on to represent the U.S. at the Miss Universe competition later this year.

In a vibrant red floor-length fishtail gown, Miss Nevada talked about the importance of women being able to defend themselves when asked a question about the high rate of sexual assaults on college campuses. Judge Rumer Willis, the 25-year-old daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, said 19 percent of U.S. undergraduate women are victims of sexual assault and asked Sanchez why she thinks this is being swept under the rug and what should be done about it.

Sanchez said bringing awareness to the issue was important, as well as women taking it upon themselves to learn how to defend themselves.

Miss Nevada USA Nia Sanchez is crowned Miss USA on Sunday during the Miss USA 2014 pageant in Baton Rouge, La. The subject of sexual assault was also on the mind of Miss Pennsylvania Valerie Gatto. She made headlines this week when she said she was the product of rape. During a taped segment that aired when her name was called, Gatto said her mother was 19 when she was attacked leaving work in Pittsburgh and became pregnant.

Gatto said she is living proof “that your circumstances do not define your life.”

First runner-up Mari said she overcame being bullied in high school by competing in ice hockey. The Fargo, North Dakota, native wore a green floor-length evening gown and in her final interview talked about the importance of getting an education and going to college.

Contestants entered the stage on a glitzy float as Louisiana native singer-songwriter Marc Broussard sang the New Orleans hits “Iko Iko” and “Hey Pocky Way” to kick off the 2014 contest. The women introduced themselves while holding Mardi Gras masks in their hands as purple, green and gold confetti fell in the background.

The pageant also included musical acts by the country music duo Florida Georgia Line, rapper Nelly and Latin pop band Camila.

Celebrity judges walked a red carpet in evening gowns and tuxedos before the start of the show, posing for pictures and talking about the qualities they would be looking for in the beauty they crown the winner.

Political parties fight to shake up voting times in swing states

By DAVID A. LIEB The Associated Press JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Election Day is approaching, and you’ve made up your mind. There’s no need to wait.

In many states, you now can vote early.

Yet what’s convenient to you is increasingly an opportunity for political gamesmanship to the candidates on the ballot.

In key swing states, Democrats and Republicans are battling this year to gain even the slightest electoral advantages by tinkering with the times, dates and places where people can vote early. Their sights are set not only on this year’s gubernatorial and congressional campaigns, but on an even bigger prize: control of the White House after the 2016 elections.

Republican-controlled legislatures in Ohio, Missouri, North Carolina and Wisconsin all have taken recent steps to curtail early voting by limiting the days on which it’s available.

Meanwhile, Democratic-led

NATION NEWS 7

“For whatever reason, both sides seem to believe that increased early voting will help Democrats and hurt Republicans.”

David Kimball Political science professor at the University of Missouri-St. Louis who studies voting legislatures have passed measures expanding early voting or instant registration in Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts and Minnesota. And Democratic activists in Missouri are backing an initiative petition that could create one of the nation’s most expansive early voting systems.

The efforts all are born from a shared political assumption.

“For whatever reason, both sides seem to believe that increased early voting will help Democrats and hurt Republicans,” said David Kimball, a political science professor at

the University of Missouri-St. Louis who studies voting.

New research suggests that those partisan assumptions about early voting may not be true. Yet the perception is deeply grounded because of President Barack Obama’s pioneering use of early voting to drive a greater number of Democrats to the polls in his victories in 2008 and 2012.

At least 33 states now have laws that let people vote in-person before elections without needing an excuse to obtain an absentee ballot. Early voting laws became increasingly common after the disputed 2000 presidential election as a means of diminishing long Election Day lines that had frustrated voters.

But Democrats were especially aggressive in seeing the potential for their get-out-thevote efforts. In 2008, for example, some Democratic-aligned groups drove worshippers from predominantly black churches straight to early voting sites in what became known as a “souls to the polls” campaign.

NATION BRIEFS Morgan recovering after surgery following crash TRENTON, N.J. – Tracy Morgan was recovering Sunday, but was expected to remain hospitalized for several weeks after having surgery on a broken leg suffered in a deadly chain-reaction crash on the New Jersey Turnpike that left two others critically injured and another man dead.

The 45-year-old actor and comedian, a former “Saturday Night Live” and “30 Rock” cast member, remained in critical condition but was “more responsive” Sunday after having

surgery for a broken leg, said Morgan’s spokesman, Lewis Kay. Kay said that Morgan also sustained a broken femur, broken nose and several broken ribs and is expected to remain hospitalized for “several weeks.”

Audra McDonald, Bryan Cranston, NPH win Tonys NEW YORK – The murderous romp “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder” has gotten a lot of love at the Tony Awards – it nabbed the best new musical trophy on a night that saw Audra McDonald, Bryan Cranston and

Neil Patrick Harris all take home big awards.

The musical “A Gentlemen’s Guide,” in which a poor man comically eliminates the eight heirs ahead of him for a title, opened rather quietly and has had a steady increase in interest, peaking with its huge win over Disney’s “Aladdin” and the Carole King songs from “Beautiful – The Carole King Musical.”

McDonald became the Tonys’ most decorated actress, while Cranston won a best actor trophy for his Broadway debut.

Egypt’s newly-elected president sworn in Pope holds summit

By HAMZA HENDAWI The Associated Press CAIRO – Egypt’s former military chief Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, winner by a landslide in last month’s presidential election, was sworn into office Sunday nearly a year after he ousted the nation’s first freely elected leader.

The retired field marshal called for unity and hard work, while vowing that there would be no reconciliation with those who took up arms against the government and Egyptians. That was a thinly veiled reference to supporters of Mohammed Morsi, the Islamist president el-Sissi removed last July, and Islamic militants waging attacks against the government.

“There will be reconciliation between the sons of our nation except those who had committed crimes against them or adopted violence,” el-Sissi said. “There will be no acquiescence or laxity shown to those who resorted to violence.”

Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi (left) and interim President Adly Mansour shake hands Sunday after signing a “handover of power document,” transferring the presidency to el-Sissi in the presence of dozens of local and foreign dignitaries at the presidential palace in Cairo, Egypt.

He did not mention by name Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood, which was declared a terrorist group by the government last December. But el-Sissi’s rise coincides with detention of thousands and

the killing of hundreds of Morsi supporters.

El-Sissi also vowed to fight corruption and appeared to make an overture to pro-democracy and secular youth activists, many of whom boycot-

ted last month’s presidential election. They accuse the new president of reviving toppled autocrat Hosni Mubarak’s police state, pointing to a law passed last year that restricts protests as well as the jailing of a number of well-known activists.

He peppered his 55-minute address with references to “freedom, social justice and bread,” the main slogan by youth groups behind the January 2011 uprising that ended Mubarak’s 29-year rule.

El-Sissi’s July 3 ouster of Morsi triggered a cycle of deadly violence and further polarized Egypt. Now, el-Sissi faces the daunting tasks of reviving Egypt’s anemic economy, fighting Islamic militants and cementing his rule after three years of deadly turmoil in the Arab world’s most populous country.

Under his rule, el-Sissi said Egypt will work for regional security and stability. He also called on Egyptians to work hard so that their rights and freedoms could grow.

for peace in Mideast

By NICOLE WINFIELD The Associated Press VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis plunged head-first into Mideast peace-making Sunday, welcoming the Israeli and Palestinian presidents to the Vatican for a remarkable evening of peace prayers just weeks after the last round of U.S.-sponsored negotiations collapsed.

Israeli President Shimon Peres and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas joked and embraced in the foyer of the Vatican hotel where Francis lives and later in the Vatican gardens, where they joined Francis in presiding over a sunset invocation of Jewish, Christian and Muslim prayers.

Francis told the two men, who signed the Oslo peace ac-

cords in 1993, that he hoped the summit would mark “a new journey” toward peace.

He said too many children had been killed by war and violence, and that their memory should instill the strength and patience to work for dialogue and coexistence.

“Peacemaking calls for courage, much more so than warfare,” he said. “It calls for the courage to say yes to encounter and no to conflict.”

The event had the air of an outdoor summer wedding, complete with receiving line and guests mingling on the lawn as a string ensemble played. Only the two key protagonists are technically on opposite sides of the intractable Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Aerial re-enactment caps off D-Day events

By THOMAS ADAMSON and THEODORA TONGAS The Associated Press LA FIERE, France – Nearly 1,000 paratroopers dropped out of the sky in Normandy on Sunday – but this time they did so in peace, instead of to wrest western France from the Nazis as they did during World War II. Drawing huge crowds who braved hot weather and lined the historic landing area at La Fiere, the aerial spectacle re-enacted the drama of the Normandy landings and served to cap commemorations marking the 70th anniversary of D-Day. Among the planes ferrying paratroopers for the event was a restored C-47 U.S. military transport plane that

“Very impressive. You just have to imagine there’d be a squadron of 72 aircraft, 36 aircraft going by every time one of those guys went by.”

Bill Prindible, veteran pilot after watching the demonstration dropped Allied troops on the village of Sainte-Mere-Eglise – a stone’s throw from La Fiere – on June 6, 1944. And the pilots who originally flew it took the controls again last week, 70 years later, remembering their experiences.

Sunday saw dozens of veterans escorted down a sandy path to a special section to watch the show alongside thousands of spectators – most of whom lined two sides of the field. Others took shelter in the shade as the lack of wind caused the sun to beat

down hard.

Planes including the C-47 aircraft flew by loudly overhead several times, with two dozen military paratroopers – from countries including the U.S., Britain, France and Germany – jumping with each passage.

They were scenes reminiscent of the pivotal event, when around 15,000 Allied paratroopers were dropped in and around the village of Sainte-Mere-Eglise on D-Day. It became the first to be liberated by the Allies and remains

one of the enduring symbols of the Normandy invasion.

Veteran Julian “Bud” Rice, a C-47 pilot who participated in the airdrops of Normandy on D-Day, watched the show.

“It’s good to see 800 paratroopers jump here today, but the night that we came in, we had 800 airplanes with 10,000 paratroopers that we dropped that night, so it was a little more,” he said.

Rice flew in a C-47 aircraft earlier in the week, similar to the one he flew on D-Day. With him was veteran pilot Bill Prindible, with whom he watched the show.

“Very impressive,” Prindible said. “You just have to imagine there’d be a squadron of 72 aircraft, 36 aircraft going by every time one of those guys went by.”

Basketball association has $16K of debt in total assets • PAYMENT Continued from page A1 In the email, McIntyre said the league had its rent raised twice and was forced to take an insurance policy that has cost $1,300 each of the past four years. The decision not to raise the program fee over $20 per participant in an effort to keep it affordable has kept revenues level while expenses increased, he wrote.

McIntyre declined to comment when reached by phone.

The Crystal Lake Basketball Association is in tough financial condition, with $16,363 of debt in total assets.

The Cary Basketball Association has $33,379 in total assets.

Citrano, who has worked for both associations, said it would be difficult for McIntyre to find people to work as scorekeepers or officials while Cary offers a better alternative.

SKETCH VIEW

Excuses on prison rape Congress unanimously passed the Prison Rape Elimination Act in 2003.

More than a decade later, many states are only beginning to comply with the law, and prison rape is still a disgusting and pervasive problem across the country.

According to the latest Justice Department survey, 4 percent of state and federal prison inmates had reported suffering sexual abuse in the previous year. That ratio was a staggering 1 in 10 for youths in various correctional facilities. And those results reflect only those willing to report sexual abuse to survey-takers.

Although American culture often treats it as such, rape cannot be an expected part of how the justice system punishes criminals, particularly young and vulnerable offenders. They surrender their liberty, not their humanity. Any official tolerance of sexual abuse in prisons, jails or local lockups is torture. Congress wisely decided to devote federal time and money to stamping it out.

So what’s the holdup? The law required a commission to make recommendations, then the Justice Department spent years finalizing rules for the states to follow. Last month, states had to report on their progress. Only New Hampshire and New Jersey certified that they fully comply with the law. Most of the rest instead offered “assurances” to the Justice Department that they were working on complying.

The law offers states this leeway, as long as they devote a significant chunk of the federal money they get toward prison rape reform.

Then there are a handful of states – Arizona, Idaho, Indiana, Nebraska, Texas, Utah and Florida – that offered no assurances that they would comply. Texas Gov. Rick Perry said that the rules are too one-size-fits-all and would be too costly.

The Justice Department is poised to dock federal grant money from Texas and the other holdouts. It should. The Justice Department should also pressure the states that say they are still working on complying.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Poor decisions in Marengo To the Editor: The May 22 article “Tensions increase over Marengo’s plans for growth” discussed a meeting in which the City Council approved modified plans for a long-debated and frequently modified development in the city of Marengo.

In a fast-moving meeting in which most officials did not have facts they needed, a decision was made to rebate nearly $300,000 that would have provided new revenue for the city if the proposed subdivision gets built.

The sad truth is this was a necessity because in 2011 the City Council previously approved the developer to build a nonstandard city subdivision, allowing well and septic – a plan that was eagerly supported by the City Council, including many of the same members who still serve today.

Because of that poor decision, the visionaries on the City Council forgot to think ahead that they

were about to go on an annexation spree to extend city limits to Interstate 90 and Route 23 and that someday they may need to extend municipal services into the new area.

Now, the taxpayers of the community once again will bear the costs of a decision that will decrease future revenue. Watching the City Council determine the future of Marengo by making quick, uninformed decisions should concern every resident of the city.

Poor decisions made by the City Council will force taxpayers to pay the true costs of development, not the developers who really should be.

“And our hearts are broken for 8-year-old Martin, with his big smile and bright eyes. His last hours were as perfect as an 8-yearold boy could hope for, with his family, eating ice cream at a sporting event.

In 2016, will enough of us vote for Constitution?

In response to my previous column supporting Rand Paul, whom I regard as the Constitution’s candidate for the presidency, I heard from constitutional lawyer Harvey Silverglate.

He’s the co-founder of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, or FIRE, the most actively efficient teacher of the First Amendment in our history on college campuses – and now beginning to include high schools.

He told me: “You have given both liberals and conservatives a real choice.”

I would add that Paul is a choice for those Americans who care about the accelerating disintegration of our Constitutional individual liberties under George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Barack Obama – liberties that are meant to distinguish us from all other nations.

The results of this 2016 election can cut so deeply into political allegiances. It will bring us again to the brink of losing who we are.

Like in 1798, when President John Adams and Congress pushed through the Alien and Sedition Acts, imprisoning critics of Congress and the presidency only seven years after the Bill of Rights was ratified. Saving us, Thomas Jefferson defeated Adams’ lunge for a second term.

With Bush, Cheney and Obama having mutilated our Fifth, Sixth, Ninth, 10th and 14th Amendments that guarantee individual rights, We The Diminished People should acknowledge a survival warning I once heard from Justice William Brennan, whom I had gotten to know well: “Look, pal, we’ve always known – the framers knew – that liberty is a fragile thing. You can’t give up.”

Alas, many of us have yet to learn that.

Among those we can assume are running for president, Rand Paul has most insistently not given up. For example, his anger at what he calls “the shredding of the Constitution” is not oratorical, but comes from inside – as when he spoke at the influential Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., in March: “If you have a cellphone, you are under surveillance; I believe what you do on

VIEWS Nat Hentoff your cellphone is none of their damn business.”

And in his book, “Government Bullies: How Everyday Americans Are Being Harassed, Abused, And Imprisoned By The Feds,” he referred to what is happening to us at airports, thanks to the Transportation Security Administration: “The TSA is a grand testament to Islamic terrorists’ success – the scene in any airport pre-9/11 versus post-9/11 is now perceived as a major victory by our enemies. We have given up so many of our liberties, all in the name of preventing another tragedy like 9/11 – and that’s a tragedy in itself.”

And dig this: At the CPAC event in Washington, Paul said, “The Fourth Amendment’s equally as important as the Second Amendment, and conservatives cannot forget this.”

The Constitution prizes personal privacy as much as it does your right to have a gun for self-defense.

Paul told those at CPAC to “imagine a time when the White House is once again occupied by a friend of liberty. ... I’m talking about electing lovers of liberty.”

Ben Jacobs at The Daily Beast wrote: “Paul’s speech came as a sharp change from other speakers, who were more focused on the Republican Party and insuring the role of conservatives within the GOP. Rick Santorum thought the GOP needed to appeal to blue collar voters, Ted Cruz thought it needed to nominate more conservatives and Mike Huckabee thought it needed to appeal to people of faith. But the Kentucky senator wasn’t concerned with what the Republican Party needed to do.

“He was concerned about the Constitution.”

And at Paul’s now-fabled 13-hour filibuster speech last year, he showed his freedom from dutifully loyal Republican dictates.

The website bookwormroom.com listed such tweets celebrating Paul’s stand as John Maniscalco’s: “Thank you, SenRandPaul for literally standing up for liberty!”

Meanwhile, conservative blog The Mental Recession, citing a story on Business Insider’s website, reported: “The entire conservative blogosphere was energized

by Rand Paul’s defense of the Constitution, Due Process and the American people ... and (John) McCain ridicules them as ‘impressionable libertarian kids.’

“Lindsey Graham also chimed in, saying he was ‘disappointed’ with those (senators) who joined Paul’s filibuster.”

But do McCain and Graham represent the Republican Party that can win the presidency in 2016 and control Congress after November’s elections?

More and more of the nation’s electorate are changing past allegiances as they search to define themselves more clearly as individual Americans.

In a future column, we’ll explore these changes and the reasons for them. Here’s one intriguing illustration, in a May 11 letter to the New York Post from a reader in Metuchen, New Jersey: “As an American black woman ... I voted for our president the first time. The second time, I did not. The Obamas have made the White House vulgar – Michelle with the trips with her mother and friends, and the president golfing when the country is in distress.

“I do not see color when I vote. Just because he is black does not mean I’m colorblind. I have had people look at me strangely because I will not OK all of his mistakes. I also had a lot to say about George W. Bush, too.”

I’m not predicting she’ll vote for Rand Paul. But who will she vote for? More of us are looking into the nation’s future – and ours – seriously as voters.

That’s what self-government is supposed to be, isn’t it?

E. Dundee’s Wise will be remembered at tourney Jamie Wise was a regular at the Sean Toedman Memorial 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament the past three years as a volunteer helping to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.

As one of the first children to receive a 3-on-3 tourney living donor liver transplant when For information about registration she was 3, Wise, a 2010 or sponsorship for Marengo the Jamie Wise High School and Sean Toedman graduate 3-on-3 Basketball from East Tournament, Dundee, contact Schultz at was able to davidschultz45@ lead a pretty gmail.com or visit healthy life jamiesean3on3. into her 20s myevent.com. and felt a special connection to St. Jude’s.

For the past couple of years, Wise battled liver failure, and April 5 she died during liver transplant surgery. She was 22.

To honor her memory and dedication to the tournament now in its fourth year, it has been renamed the Jamie Wise and Sean Toedman Memorial 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament.

Toedman, of Elgin, died in 1996 at age 12 of brain cancer.

David Schultz, the event’s founder and Wise’s cousin, said Wise was always willing to come out and help at the tournament, even when she was not feeling well.

“It’s going to be a tough year,” Schultz said. “[Wise] always took such an interest in [the tournament]. She had a special spot in her heart for St. Jude’s.”

This year’s tournament will be June 22 at Lions Park in East Dundee and will include some new divisions for competitors.

A boys middle school (going into seventh or eighth grades) division has been added.

Schultz said he wanted to give younger kids a chance to compete and draw in more spectators. In the past, the spectators have been the main supporters of raffle and auction events.

Prairie Ridge’s Austin Covers pitches against Jacobs during the second inning of the Class 4A McHenry Sectional final Saturday. Prairie Ridge beat Jacobs, 4-1, and will face Mundelein at 6 p.m. Monday in the Rockford Aviators Supersectional.

Kudos to assistant coach Pecoraro, PR players laud Deain’s work with pitching staff

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com For an idea on how tough Prairie Ridge’s pitchers have been late in the season, consider this: Austin Covers allowed one earned run in six innings Saturday, and his ERA went up.

Covers had a 0.63 ERA before the Andy Wolves defeated Deain Jacobs, 4-1, for the Class 4A McHenry Sectional baseball championship and a 0.72 ERA after the game.

The senior left-hander threw 14 ground-ball outs in six innings

Scoreboard Monday’s game Mundelein vs. Prairie Ridge, 6 p.m.

• The winner will play Providence or Edwardsville in the state semifinals at 3 p.m. Friday at Silver Cross Field in Joliet. in the kind of dominating performance Prairie Ridge has come to expect from him and Ben Cilano.

The Wolves (23-16) do not have the scariest hitting lineup in the tournament, but their pitching has allowed only eight hits and two runs in four games. That is why Prairie Ridge finds itself in the

Rockford Aviators Supersectional at 6 p.m. Monday against Mundelein (36-2).

“The reason we’re here is not our offense, not even because of our defense,” Wolves coach Glen Pecoraro said. “The reason we’re in this place right now is our pitching. I can’t say enough about the job coach [Andy] Deain has done.”

Deain was a standout pitcher for Prairie Ridge in Pecoraro’s first stint as coach. He suffered an ACL tear playing intramural basketball and missed his senior season but finished with a 22-1 career record.

Deain pitched at Northern Illinois, where he posted a 14-3 career record and 4.11 ERA. He also pitched for the Joliet Slammers

before joining Pecoraro as pitching coach. Cilano (5-0, 0.69 ERA, 55 strikeouts in 51 innings) will get the start against Mundelein, while Covers (4-0, 0.72, 42 strikeouts in 39 1/3 innings) likely would get the state semifinal Friday at Joliet’s Silver Cross Field if the Wolves win.

“They’re throwing very, very well,” Deain said. “They just stick to the plan and don’t try to do too much. We try to tell them, especially during this playoff run, this game is no different than the first game of the season. You don’t want them to have to be special, they’ve been special the whole time.”

Houston doesn’t mind serving as sidekick to Allen

By ADAM L. JAHNS ajahns@suntimes.com

AP file photo

Bears defensive end Lamarr Houston (above) said he is excited to play on the same line as Jared Allen.

Defensive end Lamarr Houston was the Bears’ big free-agent signing until he wasn’t. The arrival of Jared Allen – a fourtime All-Pro end and former defensive player of the year with a big personality – tends to overshadow others.

But Houston doesn’t mind the Robin role to Allen’s Batman. They can still be a dynamic duo.

“It’s amazing – just amazing,” Houston said of playing with Allen after organized team activities last week. “It’s a good move made by [general manager Phil Emery], the head coach [Marc Trestman] and organization that wants to win.

“They went out and grabbed everybody they needed. It’s a good thing. It’s even better for me to get to learn from somebody like that.”

Allen’s track record says that Hous-

THE DAILY

ton could be looking at his best season yet when it comes to sacking quarterbacks.

The evidence: Brian Robison’s and Ray Edwards’ success.

Robison recorded 9 sacks in 2013, 82 in 2012 and 8 in 2012 as the starter opposite Allen. Before Robison, Edwards, a fourthround pick in 2006 who is now out of the league, had the best seasons of his career: 8 sacks in 2010, 8½ in 2009 and 5 in 2008.

The basis for some of their success is simple. Allen garners more attention from opposing offenses, leaving the opposite end with more one-on-one opportunities.

“When you play against Jared, you have to make sure you have the proper protection plan.” Trestman said earlier this offseason. “You’re focused during the week on making sure that you’re doing the best you can in preventing him from getting to the passer. That’s what difference-makers do.”

Julius Peppers made a similar impact for Israel Idonije (career-best eight sacks in 2010). But Allen also has 56 ½ sacks to Peppers’ 37 ½ over the last four seasons, while the Vikings totaled 166 sacks to the Bears’ 139.

Idonije and Corey Wootton combined for 14½ sacks in 2012, but in the same season Robison and backup Everson Griffen totaled 16½ together. Last year, Wootton and Shea McClellin combined for 7 sacks as the primary ends opposite Peppers.

Houston, who was signed two weeks before Allen, is known for his run-stopping prowess, but he did lead the Raiders the past two seasons with 6 and 4 sacks.

Houston, who also will play tackle, believes more sacks will come with playing on the same line as Allen. The Bears are hoping so, too, after finishing last in sacks in 2013.

NBA FINALS: HEAT 98, SPURS 96 – SERIES TIED, 1-1

SPORTS BRIEFS

James cramps San Antonio’s style

De La Hoya inducted into Boxing Hall of Fame

LeBron bounces back with big Game 2 to lead Miami

By BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press SAN ANTONIO – No cramps, no problems for LeBron James.

And with their superstar making it to the finish this time, the Miami Heat bounced back from a loss, just as they always do in the playoffs.

“Obviously, having No. 6 in the game at the end was a plus for us,” Dwyane Wade said.

James had 35 points and 10 rebounds in a powerful comeback from the cramps that knocked him out of the opener, as the Heat tied the NBA Finals with a 98-96 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 2 Sunday night.

Chris Bosh made the goahead 3-pointer on a pass from James with 1:18 remaining for the Heat, who have won 13 straight following a loss in the postseason. Just like last year, they rebounded after losing Game 1 to the Spurs.

Bosh had 18 points for the Heat, who are headed home for Game 3 Tuesday night.

James played more than 37 minutes, making 14 of 22 shots.

He was 1 for 4 with three turnovers in a shaky first quarter, then made 11 of his next 13.

After two days of enduring criticism for not finishing the game and getting suggestions on how to avoid cramps, James changed the subject.

Tuesday, ABC ends as if he had something to prove.

As usual, James found a way to silence his haters.

He had 11 points in the second quarter, helping Miami erase an 11-point deficit early in the period. The game was played within a margin of a few points from there, and the Spurs missed a chance to seize control in the fourth quarter when Parker and Tim Duncan missed four straight free throws when they had a twopoint lead.

James then made a 3-pointer and two free throws to put Miami in position to win.

Parker scored 21 points and Duncan had 18 points and 15 rebounds for the Spurs, who had won eight straight at home by at least 15 points.

“Down the end there they executed really well,” Duncan said. “LeBron made some great passes and guys made open shots. We had the same result in the first game. They kind of flipped it in this one.”

The game was played in comfortable conditions inside the AT&T Center, where an air conditioning failure in Game 1 sent temperatures soaring to about 90 degrees.

Former Pecoraro assistant Lowitzki influenced Deain • BASEBALL Continued from page B1 Deain considers former pitching coach Chuck Lowitzki, who now coaches at NAIA Cornerstone University in Michigan, a lasting influence on his career. Lowitzki was with Pecoraro, took over when Pecoraro stepped down in 2007, then returned with Pecoraro when he came back in 2010.

“When I was in college and pitching professionally, I’d call Chuck up and take lessons with him,” Deain said. “When I came here, I had the same philosophy.

I take a lot of credit I get as coach and give it to Chuck.”

The players appreciate Deain’s manner and acumen.

“He does a great job,” Covers said. “He’s the best pitching coach around. He knows so much and knows how to teach us how to go out there and deal.”

Right fielder Jack Myers has

assumed the closer’s role late in the season and thrived there, finishing all four postseason games.

“I trust everything [Deain] does,” Myers said. “Every pitch he calls. Whether it’s mechanics, feel, different grip, I trust him 100 percent. He can be a college coach.”

Catcher Dustin Thelander said Deain’s attention to detail is crucial.

“He’s second to none,” Thelander said. “He’s always working with them one-on-one with what they need to work on specifically every day. They can make the little adjustment, thanks to coach.”

Although Prairie Ridge will face a team with 13 more victories, it will take comfort in seeing Cilano on the mound with a trip to state on the line.

“I love our chances,” Thelander said. “Our team’s battled all year, man, with Big Ben on the bump, I really like what we’re doing here. This is a lot of fun.”

“We have divisions for everyone,” Schultz said. “Even if someone wants to come out and get their buddies together and have a good time.”

Schultz said when Wise found out she was getting a new liver everyone was ecstatic. That changed quickly, but Schultz said her death has created a new dedication to the cause.

“There’s a renewed interest in it,” Schultz said. “There’s a lot of

things that have fallen into place.”

One of those things is corporate sponsorship, which has already brought in $6,000. Last year the tournament raised $5,000.

“All these companies have stepped up,” Schultz said “When people hear about it, they want to help.”

For Schultz, seeing the money come in is both humbling and rewarding.

WORLD CUP

U.S. heads to Brazil with more confidence

By RONALD BLUM The Associated Press SAO PAULO – The U.S. headed to Brazil with boosted faith Sunday after going undefeated in its sendoff series for the first time.

Playing only its third match in nine months against a World Cup team, the U.S. defense appeared firmer in a 2-1 win Saturday over Nigeria after the decision to start both Jermaine Jones and Kyle Beckerman in midfield. And Jozy Altidore broke a six-month scoreless streak for club and country with a pair of goals, including a flashy effort when he cut inside Super Eagles captain Joseph Yobo and slotted in a right-footed shot from 12 yards.

“This game gives us confidence, but the whole send-off series should give us confidence,” defender Matt Besler said Saturday night. “It’s been a grind but at the end of the day, we accomplished everything we set out to do, and that’s to get three wins. That’s really all that matters.”

The Americans were scheduled to travel from Jacksonville, Florida, to Miami on Sunday, then board a commercial flight for the roughly nine-hour trip to Sao Paulo, South America’s largest city with a population of about 11.3 million. They will base at a downtown hotel and train at Sao Paulo FC, where they tested the facilities in January.

Logistically, it will be similar to their downtown stays at Seoul in 2002 and Hamburg, Germany, in 2006. But after having the shortest travel at the 2010 World Cup, where they traveled by bus from their base in Irene, South Africa, to games in Rustenburg, Johannesburg and Pretoria, the Americans have the most distance to

Aussie Ricciardo wins F1 Canadian Grand Prix MONTREAL – Daniel Ricciardo may be coming out of the shadow of his more celebrated Red Bull teammate.

The 24-year-old Australian won the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday to earn his first career Formula One victory, joining four-time defending world champion Sebastian Vettel on the podium and snapping Mercedes’ stranglehold on the circuit this season.

Ricciardo’s win was the first win this year for any driver other than Nico Rosberg, the pole-sitter and championship leader, and Lewis Hamilton, a three-time Canadian GP champion. But the twin Mercedes Silver Arrows were forced to slow down midway through the race to keep their brakes from overheating, and Ricciardo was able to take advantage.

Rosberg finished second under a caution caused during a last-lap crash between Felipe Massa and Sergio Perez, easily protecting his lead in the championship standings. The German has 140 of a possible 175 points through seven races, with two victories and five second-place finishes.

Hamilton, who went to the garage after 46 laps when his brakes overheated, remains second in the standings with 118 points.

Inductees were selected by the Boxing Writers Association and a panel of international boxing historians.

PARIS – After spending his youth being coached by his mother, Andy Murray is turning to another woman to help him defend his Wimbledon title.

Murray hired former topranked player Amelie Mauresmo as his coach Sunday, saying the appointment is initially for the grass-court season.

“I’m excited by the possibilities of the new partnership and Amelie is someone I have always looked up to and admired,” Murray said in a statement. “She’s faced adversity plenty of times in her career, but was an amazing player and won major titles, including Wimbledon.”

Last year, Murray became the first British man to win the Wimbledon title since Fred Perry in 1936, but he has been without a coach since he parted ways with Ivan Lendl in March. Murray reached the French Open semifinals this week, losing to Rafael Nadal in straight sets, and said after the match that he hoped to have a new coach in place for Wimbledon.

STANLEY CUP FINAL: KINGS LEAD RANGERS, 2-0

Reeling Rangers return home

Rafael Nadal lifts the winner’s cup after defeating Novak Djokovic in the French Open final Sunday in Paris.

Nadal won, 3-6, 7-5, 6-2, 6-4.

FRENCH OPEN

Nadal stops Djokovic to make more history Spaniard wins 9th French, 14th major title

By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press PARIS – Trying to beat Rafael Nadal at the French Open is, without a doubt, the toughest task in tennis. Indeed, must be among the greatest challenges in all of sports.

The pressure he applies, from set to set, game to game, point to point, shot to shot.

That bullwhip of a high-bouncing, topspin lefty forehand.

Those quick-reflex returns that help him break an opponent’s serve – and his will.

Doing what he does so well on the red clay of Roland Garros, a surface and site he dominates so completely, the No. 1-seeded Nadal wore down No. 2 Novak Djokovic, 3-6, 7-5, 6-2, 6-4, in a muggy final Sunday to win his ninth French Open championship and fifth in a row, both records.

“For me,” Nadal said, “playing here in Roland Garros is just unforgettable, forever.”

It is also his 14th Grand Slam title overall, tying the 28-year-old Spaniard with Pete Sampras for the second most by a man, behind only Roger Federer’s 17.

That includes Nadal’s two trophies apiece at Wimbledon

Sunday in Paris PARIS – A look at the French Open on Sunday: Men’s final: No. 1 Rafael Nadal of Spain beat No. 2 Novak Djokovic of Serbia, 3-6, 7-5, 6-2, 6-4, for his ninth French Open title and fifth in a row.

Women’s doubles final: No. 1 Hsieh Su-wei of Taiwan and Peng Shuai of China beat No. 2 Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci of Italy, 6-4, 6-1.

Stat of the day: 66-1 – Nadal’s career record at the French Open.

Quote of the day: “You don’t know if you’re going to win it again.” – Nadal.

– The Associated Press and the U.S. Open, along with one from the Australian Open, proving he can beat the best on grass and hard courts, too.

But it’s on the clay of Paris where Nadal reigns supreme: He has won 66 of 67 career French Open matches.

Since the only loss, against Robin Soderling in the fourth round in 2009, Nadal has won 35 consecutive matches at Roland Garros.

No other man has won more than seven titles at any of tennis’ four majors.

“It’s not impossible, but it’s very, very difficult to stay with Rafa in this court, throughout the whole match, on the highest level of performance,” said Djokovic, who was broken in the final game of each set, including with an anticlimactic double-fault on match point.

Nadal ensured that he, not Djokovic, will be ranked No. 1 Monday. In the process, Nadal once again prevented sixtime major champion Djokovic from completing a career Grand Slam.

“He deserves to win this tournament,” Nadal said. “I am sure he will do it in the future.”

Djokovic had won their four most recent matches, including on clay in the bestof-three-set final at Rome last month. Beating Nadal in bestof-five is a whole other matter.

Nadal also topped Djokovic in the 2012 final, and the 2013 semifinals. In all, Nadal leads Djokovic 6-0 at the French Open, 9-3 at major tournaments, and 23-19 in total. No other pair of men has played each other as often.

The defeat in Rome was one of three this season on clay for Nadal, raising questions about whether he’d be unbeatable at Roland Garros this time.

NEW YORK – The New York Rangers know they will have the raucous Madison Square Garden crowd on their side in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

The whistle and the bounces? That is a whole other story.

When the Rangers analyze their two overtime losses to the Kings in Los Angeles, they likely will be happy about much of them – other than the result, of course.

New York hasn’t trailed for one second in the nine regulation periods played in the championship round, yet the Rangers return home in an 0-2 hole.

They led by two early in their 3-2 single overtime loss in Game 1 and then had three

two-goal edges in Game 2, only to fall, 5-4, in double overtime Saturday night.

“We played two good games,” forward Mats Zuccarello said Sunday after the Rangers returned to New York. “We didn’t get the bounces in OT. We’ve got to limit our mistakes. I think we’re a confident group. I think we played the best hockey.

“We’ll have our fans, the best fans in the world, but it’s two good teams. I don’t know how much it’s going to mean.

Hopefully the fans are going to be behind us, and we’ll get a good boost.”

The starts were good, the middles provided success, too. The third periods and overtimes have been the difference, and that is what matters. New York was outshot 20-3 in the third period

of Game 1 and outscored 2-0 in the final regulation frame of Game 2.

“We’re not proud of the way we’re starting games,” Kings forward Justin Williams said. “We find ourselves in the same situation, regurgitating the same mumbo-jumbo every time. We’re in a results-oriented league.

The results are we’re up 2-0. I don’t care how we got here.”

Game 3 is Monday night, and is as close to a must-win contest for the Rangers as can be at the Garden, where they are 6-4 in these playoffs.

“Our guys are going to be real focused,” coach Alain Vigneault said. “We need to hold serve. We’re back in our building. We’ve played some good hockey. We might feel that we deserve a better outcome than what we have, but it doesn’t matter.

FATHER-SON TEAM

Great ‘Experience’ for kids Six years ago, 14-year-old Alex Sheck sat down at his computer. The task at hand, given to him by his father, Michael Sheck, was simple. For seven days, Alex and Michael would travel the West Coast, trying to attend as many baseball games as possible.

“You plan the trip, we’ve got one week,” his father told him. “As far as whatever games you want to go to, that’s up to you.”

In realizing how expensive it is to go to a professional sporting event, the idea for Experience the Game was born. Now an official nonprofit organization, Experience the Game gives lower-income children the opportunity to experience professional sporting events. To co-founders Alex and Michael Sheck, “experience” is the key word.

“What’s really important to Alex and myself is to not just give kids tickets to the 300-level and say, ‘Here you go,’ said Michael, who noted that 130 children have attended games with Experience the Game since they received their nonprofit status in September 2013.

“We’re trying to give the kids an experience. We’re trying to do something special for them.”

That experience can in-

volve getting courtside access, meeting the athletes, and even being treated to food from a suite. And these experiences have come from many professional teams such as the Blackhawks, Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Dolphins.

Working hand in hand with the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, which has a Dundee Township branch in Carpentersville and a branch in Elgin, Experience the Game looks for underpriviledged kids who have never attended a professional sporting event.

The group said they would also be interested in working with local YMCAs to locate candidates.

Children who qualify must be between 8 and 17 and have a good standing in school.

“You’re always trying to give back to the community and do something positive,” said Alex, who attends the University of Iowa.

While Experience the Game is a relatively new organization. the men running it are experienced in maintaining a business. Around the same time of Alex and Michael’s road trip, Alex started another business of his own.

While attending local games around his hometown of Buffalo Grove, Alex would take pictures of youth sports, print them off on the spot, and sell them during and after the games. Business was good,

and in his first weekend of work, Alex made $2,500 while working a local all-star game.

Ten percent of his earnings were given back to the league, or donated to a charity of their choice.

After he expanded to shooting more than just baseball, Alex and Michael had enough money to run Experience the Game almost entirely from their own pocket.

“It seems to be that because [professional sports teams] see what we’ve done, it’s catching on,” Michael said.

“Now, believe it or not, we have some sports teams that are contacting us.”

In terms of future aspirations for Experience the Game. Alex and Michael would like for it to evolve into something that they can do full-time as a national organization with partnerships from the leagues and their teams. “[We’d like to] have an impact on kids all across the country, no just one event here and one event there,” Alex said.

Thus far, Alex and Michael have run Experience the Game while occupied with full-time jobs of their own.

When asked about the potential of Experience the Game, Michael kept that fact in mind and proposed a question.

“Can you imagine what it would be if we could do this full time?”

Replay challenges require team effort

By TONI GINNETTI tginnetti@suntimes.com CHICAGO – The Cubs spent the past week playing their best ball of the season, despite a 4-3 loss to the Miami Marlins on Sunday.

The throwback uniforms worn Sunday marking the 1940s portion of their centennial birthday party were one more reminder of a bygone era at a park that is the last of its kind.

Jumbotrons may yet become part of Wrigley if the Ricketts family gets its wishes. But another element of electronic, modern-day baseball already is part of the landscape: the instant video replay.

The biggest change to baseball in years has turned out to be a bigger part of the game than officials might have imagined.

In the season’s first two months, 381 challenges were made in 759 games, according to Baseball Prospectus research. The success rate in those challenges was 47 percent.

The Cubs have made 23 challenges this season, winning 12 and losing 11. Their opponents have made 10 challenges, winning six and losing four – which means the Cubs have “won” 16 times and “lost” 17.

“I don’t necessarily think about the ‘good’ or ‘bad’ of it,” said Cubs manager Rick Renteria, who is new to the job as well as to the newest aspect of it. “I know we have our own way to employ it, strategies we employ and [weighing] how it might influence a game – even early in a game.”

The Cubs have three coaches – one of them “quality assurance” coach Jose Castro – monitoring cameras to let Renteria know whether a challenge is worth making.

“They’re shuffling through eight or 10 different images. It’s pressure-packed,” he said.

“I don’t know how far it might be extended in its use, but so far I have no complaints about it,” he added.

But the system is sure to undergo refining, with MLB, the umpires’ association and the MLB Players Association compiling information and input that could mean changes.

“We get communication from Tony [Clark, the players association executive director],” Cubs pitcher and player rep Carlos Villanueva said. “We talked about two weeks ago to see what type of feedback [players] had.

“At the beginning, it was a little challenging, as everything new is, and I’m guessing there are still some things that need to be worked on.”

Among them seems to be the time it takes to declare the challenge more than the

Marlins rally, slow Cubs’ roll CHICAGO – Pedro Strop hit Giancarlo Stanton with a pitch in the eighth inning then threw a wild pitch that allowed the Miami slugger to score the go-ahead run, and the Marlins beat the Cubs, 4-3, Sunday.

Marlins starter Henderson Alvarez left the game because of a left hip injury and is day to day.

Trailing 3-2 after Luis Valbuena walked with the bases loaded in the seventh, the Marlins scored twice off Strop (0-3) in the eighth. Garrett Jones’ sacrifice fly to left tied it. Then Stanton scored on a wild pitch after reaching third on an error to give Miami its first lead of the day.

Steve Cishek pitched a scoreless ninth for his 14th save in 15 tries, helping Miami avoid the sweep and end the Cubs’ winning streak at five games. The Cubs were deprived of the chance for their first six-game run since winning seven straight from July 31 to Aug. 6, 2011.

Mike Dunn (5-3) got two outs for the win.

But Miami’s victory was overshadowed by the loss of Alvarez, who entered the day having thrown 21 consecutive scoreless innings.

With one out in the sixth inning of a scoreless tie, Valbuena grounded to Jones at first. Jones’ toss to first was high. Alvarez reached to tap the base with his right foot but missed and landed awkwardly, and straining his left hip.

– The Associated Press time the actual review takes.

Baseball Prospectus found the average time of challenges has been just over two minutes. But that doesn’t count the time a manager takes debating with umpires and waiting for his coaches to signal if a challenge has merit.

Pitchers waiting on the mound are the ones most impacted.

“Sometimes it can get a little out of control, and pitchers can get affected because you have to wait there,” said Villanueva, who has been involved in two. “Mine haven’t been that bad – a couple minutes. But I’ve seen a few take 10 minutes in the seventh or eighth inning and the pitcher is trying to stay in a rhythm.”

Renteria said that can be a concern.

“If I’m doing the challenging, now I’m stalling my own guy,” he said. “But the value of the play is what will decide if I pull the trigger.”

Villanueva said players understand the purpose behind the system, including those like him who were not in favor of it.

“I’m more of an old-school guy. I like the way things were, but I was just one vote and my peers were for it,” Villanueva said.

“It’s a work in progress the first year, and we knew it wouldn’t be perfect. It’s something we keep an eye on and if there is something we have to change, we’ll talk it over.”

NEW YORK – California Chrome went home to the West Coast on Sunday with a bandaged right front foot – and no Triple Crown – after bumping another horse leaving the Belmont Stakes starting gate.

He was irked Belmont winner Tonalist didn’t run in either of the first two legs of the Triple Crown.

After the race, he complained others took “the coward’s way out” by skipping the Derby and/or the Preakness.

A day later, Coburn was unrepentant.

“It’s not fair to these horses that are running to entertain these people in all three legs of the Triple Crown,” he said. “It’s not fair to them to have somebody just show up at the last minute and run. I may have gone off half-cocked yesterday, but that’s the way I feel.”

White Sox starting pitcher Jose Quintana throws to the plate during the first inning Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim, Calif. The Sox lost, 4-2.

ANGELS 4, WHITE SOX 2

Quintana’s wild in Sox’s loss to Angels

By JOE RESNICK The Associated Press ANAHEIM, Calif. – Jose Quintana’s wildness, coupled with C.J. Wilson’s willingness to pitch deep into the game despite a flu bug, helped the Los Angeles Angels complete a three-game sweep of the White Sox and leave the South Siders with a sour end to a nine-game trip through Southern California.

The Sox managed only three hits against Wilson in 71/3 innings on Sunday, two of them by Gordon Beckham, whose double-play grounder against Joe Smith ended an eighth-inning rally that produced the Sox’s only runs in a 4-2 loss on Sunday.

Quintana (3-6) allowed four runs, seven hits and four walks in 41/3 innings and struck out four. It was the eighth time in the lefthander’s 13 starts that he left a game with fewer than three runs of support, and he is 0-6 in those outings.

“It just seemed like Q was battling all the time with

guys on base,” manager Robin Ventura said after the Sox were swept in a three-game series for the first time this season. “I mean, he’ll walk a few guys here and there, but today he was just falling behind and not really locating like he normally does.”

Quintana escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first when he retired Josh Hamilton on a popup and struck out C.J. Cron. But Hamilton drove in the Angels’ first run with a two-out double in the third, then made it 3-0 in the fifth with a bases-loaded tworun single after Quintana walked cleanup hitter David Freese.

Cron followed with an RBI single that chased the lefthander.

Freese, who had never drawn more than two walks in any of his 507 previous regular-season games in the major leagues, got a free pass all four times up – all on fullcount pitches.

That tied a franchise record for walks in a nine-inning game, and was the first time it happened since May 18, 2013, when the Sox walked

Chris Iannetta four times.

“We worked a lot of walks today. Freese had the force field going today,” Wilson said. “Anytime you put that much pressure on the starting pitcher and knock him out before the fifth inning, that’s good.”

The Sox had the same idea regarding Wilson (7-5), but got the leadoff man on base only twice – and never had consecutive batters on until the left-hander departed.

“Wilson threw a great game. We didn’t get anything going, and we were just flat,” Ventura said. “We just couldn’t get anybody on base.

And when we did, he got a couple of double-play balls that really just took the life out of any kind of rally.”

Sox first baseman Jose Abreu started in the designated hitter role for the 10th time and was 0 for 4 with a pair of double-play grounders after striking out four times in Saturday night’s 6-5 loss.

A top contender for AL Rookie of the Year, he is 9 for 38 with four homers and 11 RBIs as a DH.

BELMONT STAKES

By BETH HARRIS

GB — 3 4 4½ 5

would have been just three horses in the $1.5 million Belmont, making it unlikely the third-largest crowd of 102,199 would have shown up or that a record $19,105,877 would have been wagered on-track.

California Chrome, General a Rod and Ride On Curlin were the only horses to run in the Derby, Preakness and Belmont. General a Rod finished seventh and Ride On Curlin did not finish.

Art Sherman, the 77-year-old trainer of California Chrome, distanced himself from Coburn’s comments.

“Horses aren’t cowards, and the people aren’t cowards,” he said.

“He was at the heat of the moment.

Don’t forget he’s a fairly new owner. Sometimes your emotions get in front of you. He hasn’t been in the game long and hasn’t had any bad luck.”

Coburn and Perry Martin named their racing operation Dumb Ass Partners, with California Chrome the lone horse in their stable. The chestnut colt has earned $3,317,800 this year and brought a six-race

winning streak into the Belmont.

California Chrome had smooth trips in winning the Kentucky Derby and Preakness to set up a shot at racing’s first Triple Crown in 36 years. But he had a rough trip in the 12-mile Belmont on Saturday, getting a chunk of flesh torn from his foot after bumping with Matterhorn coming out of the starting gate. California Chrome finished in a dead heat for fourth with Wicked Strong.

“It was kind of scary. You come back and see a horse bleeding from the foot,” Sherman said. “He’s never had anything wrong with him.

We’ve been awful fortunate.”

Sherman said California Chrome has a superficial wound that should heal in two to three weeks. The colt will then rest for six to seven weeks after a tough Triple Crown campaign that involved running in three races at different tracks and distances over five AP photo weeks.

His camp plans to point him to- California Chrome (right) and Matterhorn bump comward the Breeders’ Cup this fall at ing out of the starting gate Saturday in the Belmont Santa Anita.

NASCAR SPRINT CUP: POCONO 400

FIVE-DAY PLANNER

Earnhardt pulls away late

By DAN GELSTON

ki.

The Associated Press

“They were still within good reason to stand on it and give it hell,” he said.

Earnhardt’s second win means he is guaranteed to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field. He won for the 29th time in 519 career Sprint Cup starts.

“We were there all day running great,” he said. “We had a fast car just never really got that track position until the end. You’ve got to be there and we were.”

Johnson’s bid for a third straight win took a hit when he connected on pit road with Marcos Ambrose.

Coming off wins in the Coca-Cola 600 and at Dover, Johnson was fifth when he pitted under yellow. Johnson hit Ambrose and made a 180-degree spin, forcing him to back into his stall for more repairs. He needed two tires, had right-front damage and dropped to 29th on the restart.

Busch posted his first top 10 since his win at Martinsville nine races ago. He salvaged a rough day for his team that saw fellow Stewart-Haas Racing drivers Tony Stewart and Kevin Harvick drop from contention with various issues. Stewart held the lead and was in great position late to win until he was busted for speeding on pit road and was dropped to 31st. Harvick was running second when had tire trouble.

Stewart finished 13th, Harvick 14th, and SHR’s Danica Patrick was 37th after she smacked the wall with 22 laps left.

LONG POND, Pa. – Dale Earnhardt Jr. passed Brad Keselowski down the stretch to win a thriller Sunday at Pocono Raceway.

Earnhardt led only 11 laps, but his No. 88 Chevrolet was the car to beat at the end, and he zipped past the dominant Keselowski, who had debris on his grille and a hot engine, with five laps remaining in the 400mile race. Keselowski was second for the second straight race.

Earnhardt won the Daytona 500 and now has multiple wins in a season for the first time since 2004.

Keselowski had a runner-up finish to go with his 95 laps led. Kurt Busch, Denny Hamlin and rookie Kyle Larson completed the top five.

Earnhardt gave Hendrick Motorsports three straight wins after back-to-back victories by Jimmie Johnson. Johnson overcame a pit road mishap to finish sixth.

“I don’t have much to do tomorrow,” Earnhardt said, grinning.

“Tonight’s going to be a long one.”

Keselowski had the car to beat in his No. 2 Ford when a piece of trash stuck to his grille. He appeared to yield the lead to Earnhardt in an attempt to clean off the front grille and not lose time. He stalked Earnhardt down the stretch but could never recover, losing his shot at his second win of the season.

“I was trying to make a move to clean it off,” Keselowski said. “I re-

His misjudgment worked out just fine for Earnhardt.

Earnhardt, long NASCAR’s most popular driver, gave the Pocono crowd plenty of reason to go wild.

He pulled away from Keselowski and won for the first time at Pocono.

Earnhardt said Keselowski may have had the best car – but he had the best one at the end.

“He had me beat. I couldn’t get to him,” Earnhardt said. “I’ve lost in some strange ways, so it feels good to win one like that.”

Junior shook off the red gauges in the No. 88 that could have had him meet a similar fate as Keselows-

Siblings are growling over Regular exercise is important reimbursement for cat-sitting for a healthy brain and body Dear Abby: I accepted a request from my brother to watch his cats while he was across the country for a few months. During that time, one of them matured and started marking his territory all over my house. The dilemma was quickly taken care of with a trip to the vet, after permission from my brother.

My brother now insists because I accepted responsibility for the cats “in every way” in his absence, I shouldn’t expect reimbursement for the professional carpet cleaner I rented or the vet bill I paid for neutering the cat.

Am I out of line to expect to be paid back? We have agreed to abide by your response. – Christina In Maryland Dear Christina: Tell your brother to start writing the check now. If he’d had to board his cats while he was out of town, it would have cost him a lot more. You were kind to help him out, and he should be ashamed of himself for trying to stiff you. Hisss!

Dear Abby: My sisterin-law is in a barbershop

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips quartet. While I appreciate the artistic effort of what she does, listening to it bores me and I don’t enjoy it. I feel I must go to her recitals because she makes a point of inviting my husband and me.

I have an ethical dilemma. Should I be honest with her and say I don’t enjoy sitting through two to three hours of a cappella songs?

Or should I be true to myself and admit I’d rather stay home and catch up on my reading? What would you do, Abby? – Earache In Idaho Dear Earache: I’d try to be tactful. Instead of saying you would rather stay home and catch up on your reading, say instead you have “different taste in music” than she does, or that you have other plans. If this would make you feel guilty, consider putting in an appearance every once in a while.

Dear Abby: My second wife died last year after 39 years of marriage. She had

a beautiful, unique sense of humor.

Three weeks after her funeral, I was walking our dog on the day that would have been our anniversary.

As I bent down to pick up the poop, I spotted a quarter on the ground. It was so tarnished with age I couldn’t make out the date. But I remembered your “pennies from heaven” letters, so I picked it up.

I hurried home to clean it to see if it was from the year we were married. I was amazed when I discovered it was from the year I was married – but to my first wife.

Like I said, my late wife had a unique sense of humor. –

Smiling In New Jersey Dear Smiling: I’m sorry for your loss. Two things occur to me. The first is that the quarter was your reward for being a responsible dog owner. The second is that your late wife might have been trying to “remind” you that you had a love before her, and you might find another one in the future.

dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Dear Dr. K: I’m in my late 60s. I’ve read that regular exercise helps prevent memory loss. How does it do that? And how much exercise do I need to reap this benefit?

Dear Reader: It’s easy to understand why regular exercise would be good for your bones, muscles, lungs and heart.

Regularly challenging those organs would make them stronger.

But the brain? Regular exercise often feels mindless. Indeed, that’s one of its pleasures. You feel as if you’re turning off your turbulent brain and experiencing the rest of your body.

Nevertheless, many studies show regular exercise – in humans and in animals – improves brainpower. We don’t know how this works, but there are some reasonable theories.

For one, a stronger heart and lungs improves the supply of oxygen throughout the body, including the brain. For another, exercise helps reduce the risk for diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and stroke; all are diseases that can damage the brain.

There’s also some evidence exercise increases the produc-

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff tion of a brain chemical that multiplies the connections between brain cells. The communication between our brain cells is what makes us smart.

Finally, we’ve learned recently that regular exercise causes muscles to release substances in the blood that have positive effects on health.

For example, my Harvard colleague Bruce Spiegelman recently discovered a hormone made in muscle, called irisin. Regular exercise causes muscle to release irisin into the blood; it travels around the body and does lots of good things. It fights obesity by burning calories. Recent studies also indicate it might slow the aging of cells.

We don’t know precisely how much exercise is needed for good brain health. But studies suggest that although the exercise needn’t be extreme, it should be moderately vigorous and regular.

Below are exercise guidelines for you and others who

are 65 years or older and are generally fit. They will deliver benefits for your body as well as your brain. If you have a health condition that limits your activity, do as much as you are able to do comfortably and safely. Always check with your doctor before starting an exercise program.

Aim to do the following: • Two and a half hours (150 minutes) of moderateintensity aerobic activity (for example, brisk walking) every week; or • One and a quarter hours (75 minutes) of vigorousintensity aerobic activity (for example, jogging or running) every week; and • Muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders and arms).

You also can build physical activity into your daily routine. When possible, walk instead of driving; use the stairs instead of the elevator; plant a garden.
