Good morning, McHenry County ...

Generosity evident at SleepOut for Shelter McHenry County’s generosity continues to amaze me.

And for this weekend’s generosity at the SleepOut for Shelter fundraiser, I and Pioneer Center for Human Services (where I volunteer as a member of its board of directors) are beyond grateful.

On a bitterly cold, windy night Saturday at The Church of Holy Apostles in McHenry, about 200 area residents gathered to sleep outside in cardboard boxes, tents and their own cars to raise awareness about homelessness in the county and to raise much-needed funding for PADS, Pioneer Center’s homeless services division. More than 60 others participated at LifeSpring Community Church in Spring Grove, and others slept out in their own backyards.

Temperatures dropped to the 30s, but the compassion and camaraderie of those who participated maxed out at a full 1,000.

As of Saturday, SleepOut for Shelter 2016 has raised more than $160,000 for PADS’

ASH FORK, Ariz. – Interstate 40 was closed in both directions Sunday afternoon after a tractor-trailer rig led police on a 100-mile chase.

Officials said the pursuit began after other people had reported the tractor-trailer was being driven erratically.

Authorities said the reports of erratic driving included speeding through a rest area at 80 mph.

The pursuit ended after officers put spikes on the road to puncture the vehicle’s tires. Police say the driver ran away but was captured by a police dog.

FRANKS ANNOUNCES CHAIRMAN RUN Dem state rep to oppose Republican Walkup for McHenry County Board post

Illinois state Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo

Ending months of speculation, Democratic state Rep. Jack Franks has announced his candidacy for McHenry County Board chairman, setting up what is sure to be a fierce race for the first-ever election for the seat.

But while the move gives the McHenry County Republican Party a hard fight for what was an uncontested race, it also gives the GOP a chance to reclaim the 63rd Illinois House District seat that Franks said he is relinquishing to run for chairman instead.

Franks, of Marengo, made the announcement Sunday morning, shortly after the Democratic Party of McHenry County voted to slate him

to run against Republican nominee Michael Walkup. Walkup, a County Board member from Crystal Lake, narrowly defeated incumbent Chairman Joe Gottemoller, R-Crystal Lake, in the March 15 primary.

Franks, who has few friends on the County Board after years of butting heads with them – most recently instigating a state investigation into members’ pension eligibility – said running for chairman is the best way to get the board to clean up what he calls its fiscal and ethical shortcomings.

“The population of our county is declining because of poor leadership in the county that relies too much on raising our taxes and too little on making the tough choices to consolidate overlapping and duplicative government services,” Franks said. “I have decided to enter the County Board

chairman’s race because McHenry County deserves a proven tax fighter as chairman. I have spent my public career fighting all tax increases, and it’s that commitment that I will take to the county.”

Franks took advantage of GOP infighting in 1998 to win election to the 63rd House District, which covers western and northern McHenry County. He has survived and thrived in the Republican-dominated county by fighting taxes and government spending.

The GOP has struggled since to take the seat, and Franks has handily defeated every candidate thrown at him. But his decision to withdraw and focus on the chairman race gives the GOP a better shot at a pickup through candidate Steven Reick of Harvard.

LITH lowers nonprofit video gaming fees

LAKE IN THE HILLS – Weeks after members of the American Legion voiced objections to the village’s increase in per-terminal video gaming fee, the Village Board approved an ordinance that lowered the per-terminal fee for not-forprofits to $300 on Thursday.

Th village had raised per-terminal fees for businesses from $100 to $500 in April, mirroring the fees of nearby towns such as Algonquin.

Members of the Lake in the Hills American Legion Post 1231, which is classified as a 501(c)(19) not-for-profit, said the fee hike was unfair to the club because its machines are not open to the public and because the organization serves the community, unlike public businesses with video gaming.

The lower fees also will apply to the Lake in the Hills Property Owners’ Association. Both nonprofit organizations have three terminals, according to the Illinois Gaming Board.

Wendy Piersall, an adult coloring book author, displays two of her creations in her Woodstock home.

Piersall recently sat down with reporter Katie Dahlstrom to talk about the adult coloring book trend.

Dahlstrom: You had mentioned the adult coloring book trend. So what’s your take on it? Is it a trend? A fad? Or is it here to stay?

Piersall: To be honest, adult coloring

WENDY PIERSALL n WHO IS SHE? Adult coloring book artist n HOMETOWN: Glen Ellyn n RESIDENCE: Woodstock n FAMILY: Husband, David; children Cassidy, 21, Ethan, 16 and Lianna, 13 n FAVORITE ARTIST: Alphonse Mucha WOODSTOCK – To Wendy Piersall, seeing people interact with her art is the icing on top of a really rich cake.

Piersall creates adult coloring books, which have exploded in popularity.

The Woodstock artist’s experience with with coloring pages for adults goes back to 2009, when she created her first sets of mandala coloring pages – the pattern-rich designs have their origins in Indian religions – and posted them online.

Four years later, a publisher found the pages and offered her a chance to create an entire book of animal mandalas. More book deals followed, and an April 2015 feature in the Huffington Post on the animal book pushed her coloring books’ success even further.

books have been around since the ’70s.

They weren’t really all that popular back then, but there were publishers putting them out then, and they have sold consistently this whole time. It was only this last year that they’ve become a huge fad and trend.

I do see that the market is super saturated right now, and I do see interest waning, but I don’t think it’s going to go away. It’s been here all along. Now it’s been opened to a much larger audience, and I think it’s here to stay. I just don’t think it’s going to be a fad like it has been.

Dahlstrom: What makes something an adult coloring book versus the coloring book we traditionally think of?

Piersall: I think the best way to de-

scribe that is from the adult who colored all along and only recently has been able to find adult coloring books. They’re like, “Well, I used to be able to color with my daughter in her Disney princesses book, which wasn’t really satisfying.” But now the adult coloring books are very intricate, with pages that take hours, sometimes days, to finish. And the art is something that would appeal to adults more than toys, dolls and cartoon characters.

Dahlstrom: What can you do with a page

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

from an adult coloring book once you’ve completed it?

Piersall: I get asked this question a lot,

and I’ve not come up with the best possible answer. A lot of people don’t even want to tear up their books. They just leave them in the books, and they focus more on the process and enjoyment of coloring rather than the finished outcome. But there are definitely some I’m super proud of, and I’ve bought clipboard frames from Ikea so I can swap stuff out easily and I have those up in my office.

Dahlstrom: What else do people need to know about adult coloring books?

Piersall: One of the questions I get

asked most is what are my recommendations for what is best to color with. I tend to shy away from recommending markers. Even though I enjoy using them, the ones that are worth using are crazy expensive, like hundreds of dollars. I really strongly recommend colored pencils for people.

Dahlstrom: Why colored pencils?

Piersall: Well, first of all, the range of

colors you have access to. They are super affordable. There are some high-end sets of pencils – don’t get me wrong – but you can find really great pencils at an affordable price. Also, when you’re coloring in an adult coloring book, there are really, really tiny areas to color a crayon can’t fit into, and markers will bleed through the paper, which is why sharp colored pencils are really the best medium for adult coloring books.

D-12 safe from financial difficulty certification after state review

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com JOHNSBURG – A state financial review of Johnsburg School District 12 has found that the district has addressed certain deficit concerns, saving it from being certified in financial difficulty.

District 12 was one of six Illinois districts to be reviewed by the Illinois State Board of Education, and one of two districts to meet the criteria for certification in financial difficulty, according to state documents.

The districts in February were asked to hand over a number of financial reports after landing on the “financial watch” status, a designation within the state’s financial profile system indicating decline.

The ISBE’s review found District 12 showed a negative ending fund balance for two consecutive years on its annual financial report for the aggregate totals of the educational, operations and maintenance, transportation and working cash funds – one of five criteria warranting certification.

However, “the financial investigation revealed that the district has addressed its deficit issue and is making budget adjustments to improve its financial condition,” ISBE documents said.

It added the district in fiscal year 2014 reduced staff, technology expenses

“Last year’s budget ended with a surplus, and our budget this year continues to be on track to end in a surplus. Additionally, we have reduced the amount of short-term borrowing by nearly $650,000 over the past two years.”

Dan Johnson

District 12 superintendent and operation expenses – cutting down by about $900,000, or 4 percent. It continued to decrease staff and other expenses this school year, reducing costs about $1 million, or 5 percent, according to the documents.

The ISBE also determined District 12 has sufficient borrowing ability to sustain operations while the plan to restore fund balances is carried out.

District 12 Superintendent Dan Johnson said data show his district’s financial picture has improved “significantly” over the past few years.

“Last year’s budget ended with a surplus, and our budget this year continues to be on track to end in a surplus,” Johnson said. “Additionally, we have reduced the amount of short-term borrowing by nearly $650,000 over the past two years.”

After receiving the state’s request for financial documents, Johnson in March said long-term borrowing for an ongo-

ing building project is what spurred the “financial watch” designation.

By a margin of 24 votes, the district passed a $41 million referendum in March 2014 for the facilities project, which is turning the junior high into a third- through eighth-grade school. It also will add about 35,000 square feet to the high school.

Johnson has said the district carried out staff and other operational reductions in preparation for predicted financial stress.

The five other districts investigated included Chicago School District 299, Edwardsville School District 7, Lincoln-Way School District 210, South Wilmington School District 74 and Streator School District 44. After the review, District 44 was recommended for certification in financial difficulty.

State documents indicate ISBE staff will continue to monitor the six school districts.

Village Board may vote on Meyer Material extension on Tuesday Currently proposed ordinance would extend mining deadline to 2019

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com CARY – The Village Board might vote on a proposed three-year extension for mining activities on the Meyer Material site, at the board’s meeting at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Village Administrator Chris Clark said.

The proposed amendment to the mining agreement would allow mining to continue until June 1, 2019, and restoration work to continue until Dec. 31, 2019.

Clark said the proposal stipulates Meyer would pay a $500,000 penalty if the mining is not finished by June 1, and there are letters of credit and financial elements to enforce the dead-

line for completion of restoration work.

The extension agreement proposed

by Meyer also includes $2.1 million in impact fees to the village, a $50,000 cash payment transfer to the Fox Trails subdivision homeowners association, and a $350,000 payment to the Cary Park District to build a multi-use path, Clark said.

The proposed agreement defines that grading work by Meyer would be required to leave the land in the proper state for a proposed passive-use park on the site. As part of the plan, the company would have to finalize the perimeter around the lake and put a CA6 gravel stone path around the lake, Clark said.

The existing contract requires Meyer to finish mining at site near Route 31

by June 1 of this year, with a $100,000 penalty for each month mining continues after that, and finish restoration by June 2018.

Residents of subdivisions near the mining site have spoken against the extension at several recent meetings regarding the project. The zoning board gave a proposed four-year extension a negative recommendation in February.

Village officials previously discussed a plan for a passive-use park that eventually could be on that site, which likely would cost $8 million to $8.5 million. The Village Board recently gave staff authorization to speak to Algonquin officials about annexing the south end of the site into Cary.

Motorcycle crash sends 1 person to hospital, fire official says

WOODSTOCK – One person was sent to the hospital Sunday after a motorcycle left the road and hit a fence, a fire official said.

Woodstock Fire Rescue District Capt.

Scott Nieman said crews responded to the area about 12:40 p.m. outside of Woodstock.

The driver of a motorcycle was southbound Deep Cut Road and left the roadway near Nelson Road, Nieman said. There were no passengers on the motorcycle, he said, and the driver was sent to Centegra Hospital – Woodstock with injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening.

He said the motorcycle went through a fence surrounding a farm, and he was not sure if the driver also hit the fence.

Nieman did not have information on what caused the crash. He said McHenry County Sheriff’s Department also responded.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Department could not immediately be reached for comment.

Doctors recently took what they hope will be the first step in using embryonic stem cells to prevent blindness caused by “age-related macular degeneration”, the leading cause of vision loss among people aged 50 years and older. Of the two forms of AMD, “wet” and “dry”, the dry form is far more common (90% of cases) and less aggressive and severe than the wet form, which is usually caused by abnormal blood vessels that leak fluid or blood into the center of the retina (the macula). By transplanting stem cells among diseased cells at the back of the eye, physicians hope to prevent sudden severe vision loss from wet age-related macular degeneration, as the stem cells replace the diseased cells.

P.S. Wet macular degeneration almost always begins as dry macular degeneration.

At CRYSTAL LAKE OPHTHALMOLOGY, we are always ready to assist you in your vision needs and answer any questions concerning your eye health. We’re located at 280-A Memorial Court, where we we believe everyone should have a professional eye examination on a regular basis to protect the priceless miracle of sight. Please call at 815.455.4222 to schedule an appointment; we are currently accepting new patients.

Some Algonquin Commons stores to become dog-friendly

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Algonquin Commons will allow dogs to its outdoor spaces and in 20 of its stores starting June 1, the shopping center announced last week.

The dog-friendly stores will have stickers denoting their status, and there will be water bowls outside such stores, the mall said. There also will be pet waste stations throughout the mall’s outdoor spaces.

Stores that have agreed to allow dogs are: 2nd Wind, American Eagle, Bath & Body Works, Charming Charlie, Chico’s, Clark’s, DSW Shoes, GNC, Half Price Books, Hollister, J. Jill, Jared, Old Navy, Pottery Barn, Tillys, Ubreak Ifix, Victoria’s Secret, White House/Black Market, Yankee Candle and Zales.

Dogs at the shopping center must remain on a leash and with their owners at all times. Pets must be at least 8 weeks old, and shots must be current.

The pets must be odorless, harmless, well-behaved and flea-free, and should not be disruptive, destructive, loud or aggressive to people.

Customers must clean up after their pets and should not let their dog approach other customers unless it is mutually agreeable.

Retailers may use their own discretion in welcoming or asking pets to leave their store or restaurant, the shopping center said.

The mall will have a dog ribbon-chewing event at 10 a.m. June 11 in front of the mall offices, and all dogs and owners are welcome to attend. Anderson Animal Shelter in South Elgin will host a dog adoption event after the event.

Participating stores also will have a limited supply of dog treats and paw print bandanas for the June 1 kickoff.

Algonquin Commons spokeswoman Kim Gilmore said the decision follows a national trend of stores allowing pets.

She said Geneva Commons has been dog-friendly for more than 10 years.

“Being a lifestyle center instead of a mall, there are outdoor areas anyway,” Gilmore said. “We thought, ‘Why not have the dogs be able to wander around outside?’ And if stores want to let them in, they can.”

• CHAIRMAN

Continued from page A3 The county Democratic Party has until August to select a candidate to run against Reick, and Democratic Party of McHenry County Chairman Michael Bissett said the decision will not happen until at least after Memorial Day. “I’ll be the face of McHenry County in both Springfield and Washington,” Franks said. “I’ll give us credibility, and I’ll be able to put McHenry County back on the map.”

Franks has made his share of enemies on the County Board, which sees him as a meddler. When members refused to entertain his request to make the chairmanship popularly elected, he got a referendum on the ballot to change to a county executive form of government. While voters rejected the idea, board members advanced the successful referendum for popular election of the chairman, partly out of concern that Franks would keep advancing the executive idea.

“If he can’t get the board to work with him, you can’t get anything done, whether you’re the chairman or not,” Walkup said.

“Because the board sets the rules.”

But Franks has alleged that the County Board has done its share of meddling as well. County government lobbying groups have fought Franks’ bills aimed at property tax relief and government consolidation, which he bluntly portrays as county government spending taxpayer money to make sure it doesn’t get less of the money.

Most recently, Franks sparked the ongoing investigation of the County Board by the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund, which is asking members to prove they are working the 1,000 hours a year required to earn pensions that all but a handful of members have signed up to receive. The IMRF’s rules state that elected officials under the 1,000-hour mandate, barring extraordinary circumstances, are not eligible for pensions.

“I think the citizens are going to see a real change in how their government goes” if he is elected, Franks said. “I think they’re going to be real happy, and and think it’s necessary. I’m going to take us out of the backwaters and bring us into the 21st century.”

Walkup, who has been on the board for 3½ years, said an effective chairman should have experience on the County Board.

“You have no idea what’s going on, you don’t know who the people are, you don’t know what the issues are. Being in state government just does not give you that type of experience,” Walkup said. “ ... I can work with the other board members a lot better than somebody coming in from the outside.”

On Sunday, Democrats also chose Kathryn Potter of Cary to run for McHenry County Board District 1 and Paula Yensen of Lake in the Hills for County Board District 5, Bissett said.

He said Yensen has served two terms on the County Board and currently is on the Lake in the Hills Village Board. Potter has not held an office, Bissett said.

WOODSTOCK

Prairiewood Elementary School awarded conservation recognition NORTHWEST HERALD

WOODSTOCK – After multiple projects by a teacher and his students, Prairiewood Elementary School in Woodstock became the first school to earn a certification in a new Land Conservancy of McHenry County program.

According to a recent release from Woodstock Community Unit School District 200, the school’s certification in the “Conservation@ School” program was earned after work that fifth-grade teacher John Girard did with his class.

Sarah Michehl, community engagement specialist for the Land Conservancy, recently visited Prairiewood to present Girard’s class with the recognition and a sign that will be placed in front of the school.

PUBLIC ACCESS Monday

The Land Conservancy of McHenry County provides resources for schools to carry out projects to improve water quality and wildlife while also teaching students about the environment, according to its website.

In order to become certified, the property must have native plant components; there should be evidence of stewardship of the land; water on the site should be effectively managed; chemical use should be reduced; and a plan for a “Conservation Ethic” must be incorporated into curriculum.

Girard has taught his students about the environment every year he’s been at Prairiewood, District 200 officials said. They have cleaned up pieces of black landscaping fabric that were left in the ground surrounding the Prairiewood/

155 Center for Education, 1 S. Virginia Road.

Creekside campus after construction of the schools in 2007. They also have worked to clear invasive plant species, restored the natural prairie plants, helped construct a trail, and worked with the Land Conservancy to plant oak seedlings around the campus, according to the district release.

Looking forward, Girard and his students plan to build bluebird houses, extend the prairie trail and improve the garden.

In August, Fox River Grove School District 2 also was certified in a Conservation@School program by the Barrington Area Conservation Trust.

KENNETH W. KORTEMEIER

Born: Feb 1, 1924; in Lancaster Township Died: May 11, 2016; in Rockford Kenneth W. Kortemeier, age 92, of Rockford, Illinois, passed away on May 11, 2016.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Ruth (Hayes) Kortemeier. He is survived by daughter Debra (Ron) Bendis of Woodstock, IL; son Douglas (Susan) Kortemeier of Eden Prairie, MN; grandchildren

JOHN “JACK” RUSSELL WHITNEY

Matthew (Allison) Bendis, Ann Bendis, and Todd (Greta) Kortemeier.

Kenneth was born February 1, 1924, on a farm in Lancaster Township northeast of Freeport, Illinois. His parents were Ida and William Kortemeier, and his sisters were Ruth Phillips and Lucille Van Raden (both deceased). He graduated from North Central College (Naperville, Illinois) in 1949 and from Evangelical Theological Seminary (now Garrett Seminary) in 1952. Ken and Ruth were married on May 13, 1950. They served Evangelical United Brethren and United Methodist churches in Illinois: Hooppole, Mt. Carmel, Dixon, Batavia, Palos Heights, and Rockford, as well as participating in summer pastor exchanges in Weston-super-Mare and Withernsea, England. Ken retired in 1989, and he and Ruth lived in Rockford, and were members of Christ United Methodist Church. Ken was active in Rockford Urban Ministries. Ken and Ruth directed church summer camps for children, and Ken led youth bike trips in Wis., Ill., and Iowa, as well as youth cross-country bus trips. He enjoyed camping trips with his family and canoe rides on the Rock River or the Flambeau River in northwestern Wiscon-

sin. A good conversation was worth a lot to Ken, who seldom missed a family reunion or holiday meal, and he was always ready to shake the hand of a newcomer. He and Ruth loved classical and choral music, and he sang in choirs and chorales, as well as in duets with Ruth. Ken impacted many lives, bringing a sense of humor to those who spent time with him, and a sense of grace to those he served. He was confident of the promises of his faith, joyous in his life, and honored and loved by family and friends.

STATE Rauner running out of time for his budget reforms

By IVAN MORENO

The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – GOP Gov. Bruce Rauner’s vision of a grand two-year budget compromise with Illinois lawmakers is diminishing as the clock ticks down on this year’s legislative session.

Rauner has asked for pro-business and union-weakening proposals and other legislative changes as part of a budget compromise. He remains optimistic he can get a deal done before the spring session ends May 31, but Democrats who control the Legislature have been largely dismissive of his ideas.

Any post-session spending plan will require three-fifths support from each chamber, rather than a simple majority, making it harder to end the budget standoff now in its 11th month.

“My sense is, big things, important things, kind of get done at the very last minute, kind of around 2 a.m. That may be what happens now, I don’t know,” Rauner said last week.

Here’s a look at where some of Rauner’s proposals stand:

Two people found dead inside SUV on Chicago expressway

CHICAGO – Authorities said two people were found fatally shot inside an SUV on a Chicago area highway.

Illinois State Police released a statement Sunday saying the shooting occurred around 4 a.m. in the northbound lanes of Interstate 90 on the northwest side.

Police said a silver Chevrolet Tahoe stopped in a lane, and a male driver and a female passenger were found inside.

They were found unresponsive, each with gunshot wounds to the head.

They were identified as 43-year-old Eric Taylor and

Lawmakers from the ruling party currently draw the maps – usually to their advantage.

Republicans introduced proposals for term limits, but those have not received serious consideration. The House and Senate each considered Democrat-sponsored bills on redistricting, including one that would give an independent commission the job of drawing the maps. The measures passed one chamber and failed in the other.

Both issues require voters’ approval

36-year-old Camille Cooley, both of Waukegan.

Police said a black semi-automatic weapon was found on the driver’s side floor.

All local lanes of I-90 were shut down for the investigation.

Authorities did not immediately have other information.

WLS-TV reported it was the 18th Chicago area expressway shooting this year.

PEORIA – A federal judge in Peoria has approved a settlement between the Illinois state prison system and lawyers for 11,000 mentally ill prisoners who alleged that inadequate treatment amounted to “cruel and unusual punishment.”

Agency launches national park study for New Philadelphia

PITTSFIELD – The first steps have been taken in a special study to determine whether the New Philadelphia site in western Illinois should become a national park.

More than 100 people attended a public meeting Wednesday night in Pittsfield where a National Park Service team explained the study process and heard from residents. The meeting was “very, very pro-

ductive,” study project manager Tom Gibney said.

The study will look at New Philadelphia’s suitability and feasibility as a national park site, the Herald-Whig reported.

The racially diverse 19th century town of New Philadelphia, founded by former slave Free Frank McWorter, thrived with residents until a railroad bypassed it in 1869 and it dissolved in 1885. It is about 280 miles southwest of Chicago.

“The story of my family and the legacy of New Philadelphia is the story of freedom, and as such it anchors the best hope we have for this country,” said Gerald McWorter, a great-greatgreat-grandson of the founder.

The park service will make a recommendation to the secretary of the Interior, but Congress makes final determinations on new national parks.

U.S. Sens. Dick Durbin and Mark Kirk and U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood of Illinois back the idea of a national park designation.

Normal may revive Route 66 landmark as tourist draw

NORMAL – A historical former gas station and Route 66 landmark in Normal could become a city-owned tourist attraction.

The Pantagraph reported that the City Council is scheduled to vote Monday on the purchase of the onetime Sprague’s service station.

City Manager Mark Peterson said the town has been negotiating the purchase for the past year.

The council will consider spending $229,000 to buy the property and $200,000 for building improvements.

The current owner bought the property in 2006 in hopes of converting it into a bed and breakfast along with a gift shop and restaurant.

The 85-year-old building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a town landmark.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS IS attack and bombings leave 29 dead across Iraq

BAGHDAD – The Islamic State group launched a coordinated assault Sunday on a natural gas plant north of Baghdad that killed at least 14 people, while a string of other bomb attacks in or close to the capital killed 15 others, Iraqi officials said.

The dawn attack on the gas plant began with a suicide car bombing at the facility’s main gate in the town of Taji, about 12 miles north of Baghdad. Several suicide bombers and militants then broke into the plant and clashed with security forces.

The dead included six civilians and eight security forces; 27 troops were wounded.

Elsewhere, four separate bomb attacks left another 15 people dead and 46 wounded in the fifthstraight day of IS-claimed attacks in and around the Iraqi capital.

NRA arm fights Nevada gun background checks

Post impeachment, Brazil’s road filled with challenges PETER PRENGAMAN and STAN LEHMAN The Associated Press

SAO PAULO – To say that Michel Temer faces huge challenges would be an understatement.

Brazil’s 75-year-old acting president must fight the Zika virus, which can cause birth defects and has ravaged thousands of families in poor northeastern states. He must rescue Latin America’s largest economy from its worst recession since the 1930s, most likely by making painful – and protest-invoking – cuts to the pension system and social welfare spending.

He must win back the trust of a populace that has come to believe virtually all politicians, including him, are lining their pockets with taxpayer money.

And he must begin these gargantuan tasks with the Summer Olympics just months away and while his predecessor and former-ally-turned enemy, Dilma Rousseff, is living in the presidential residence and rallying supporters around assertions she was the victim of a coup led by Temer.

“This is going to be a real mess. The combination of all these factors at once is unbelievable,” said Alexandre Barros, a Brasilia-based consultant. “Everybody is unhappy with the situation but nobody knows what to do.”

For the sake of the nation’s 200 million people, and for all the South American nations whose fortunes are tied to Brazil’s powerhouse economy, one hopes that Temer does know what to do.

The career politician, who is married to a 32-year-old former beauty pageant contestant, took office on Thursday just hours after the Senate voted to impeach Rousseff for allegedly using illegal accounting tricks to hide deficits in the federal budget. Rousseff insists she has done nothing wrong, and vows to fight as the Senate holds a trial, a process that can take up to six months.

If the Senate votes to remove Rousseff, as is likely, Temer would complete her term that goes through 2018.

Temer is getting early kudos for one Cabinet choice: Finance Minister Henrique Meirelles is widely respected for serving as Central Bank chief during the boom years from 2003 to 2010.

Meirelles quickly signaled that he’ll push to revamp labor laws to increase productivity and reform a pension system known for generous payouts and early retirement; many public workers can retire between their early and mid-50s.

Actually pulling that off will be very difficult. Many lawmakers in Congress rallied around the idea of ousting Rousseff, but building consensus around unpopular reforms could prove elusive. Still, the ongoing

Analysts also believe that Temer, who has said he won’t run for president in 2018, will be thinking about his legacy. This could be Temer’s last stint in any office: He was recently found guilty of violating campaign finance laws, a decision that makes him ineligible to run for office for eight years, pending likely appeals.

“If Temer gets the ball rolling on major reforms, this would take him to the level of statesman,” said Marcos Troyjo, a professor at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs.

Aside from Meirelles, however, Temer is already coming under sharp criticism for the rest of his Cabinet, which is widely criticized as an example of vast inequality in a nation that is predominantly non-white.

Temer’s entire Cabinet is made up of white men, including some with very thin resumes and others who are under a cloud of corruption allegations.

Rousseff, the nation’s first female president, wasted no time in making contrasts with her much more diverse outgoing Cabinet.

“I think gender questions are a question of democracy in a country where the majority, more than 50 percent, are women,” she said Friday, the first day of Temer’s government.

Noting that her nation was the last in the Americas to outlaw slavery, in 1888, she added: “Here in Brazil, discrimination has a face: It’s black, woman and child.”

One of Temer’s biggest challenges, if not a direct threat to his presidency, is the so-called Car Wash probe. Led by judge Sergio Moro, investigators uncovered a multi-billion dollar kickback scheme centered on the state oil company Petrobras that has astonished even a populous long inured to political graft.

Will robot cars drive traffic congestion off a cliff?

A Google self-driving car goes on a test drive in 2014 near the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, Calif.

By JOAN LOWY

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Self-driving cars are expected to usher in a new era of mobility, safety and convenience. The problem, say transportation researchers, is that people will use them too much.

Experts foresee robot cars chauffeuring children to school, dance class and baseball practice. The disabled and elderly will have new mobility. Commuters will be able to work, sleep, eat or watch movies on the way to the office. People may stay home more because they can send their cars to do things like pick up groceries they’ve ordered online.

Researchers believe the number of miles driven will skyrocket. It’s less certain whether that will mean a corresponding surge in traffic congestion, but it’s a clear possibility.

Gary Silberg, an auto industry expert at accounting firm KPMG, compares it to the introduction of smartphones. “It will be indispensable to your life,” he said. “It will be all sorts of things we can’t even think of today.”

Cars that can drive themselves under limited conditions are expected to be available within five to 10 years. Versions able to navigate under most con-

ditions may take 10 to 20 years.

Based on focus groups in Atlanta, Denver and Chicago, KPMG predicts autonomous “mobility-on-demand” services – think Uber and Lyft without a driver – will result in double-digit increases in travel by people in two age groups: those over 65, and those 16 to 24.

Vehicles traveled a record 3.1 trillion miles in the U.S. last year. Increased trips in autonomous cars by those two age groups would boost miles traveled by an additional 2 trillion miles annually by 2050, KPMG calculated. If self-driving cars without passengers start running errands, the increase could be double that.

And if people in their middle years – when driving is at its peak – also increase their travel, that yearly total

could reach 8 trillion miles. “This could be massive,” Silberg said.

Driverless cars are expected to make travel both safer and cheaper. With human error responsible for 90 percent of traffic accidents, they’re expected to sharply reduce accidents, driving down the cost of insurance and repairs.

But the biggest cost of car travel is drivers’ time, said Don MacKenzie, a University of Washington transportation researcher. That cost comes down dramatically when people can use their travel time productively on other tasks.

A study by MacKenzie and other researchers published in the journal Transportation Research: Part A estimates the vehicles can cut the cost of travel by as much as 80 percent. That in turn drives up miles traveled by 60 percent.

“You are talking about a technology that promises to make travel safer, cheaper, more convenient. And when you do that, you’d better expect people are going to do more of it,” he said.

There’s a fork ahead in this driverless road, says a report by Lauren Isaac, manager of sustainable transportation at WSP/Parsons Brinckerhoff, that envisions either utopia or a nightmare.

In the best case, congestion is reduced because driverless cars and trucks are safer and can travel faster with reduced space between them. Highway lanes can be narrower because vehicles won’t need as much margin for error. There will be fewer accidents to tie up traffic.

But those advantages will be limited as long as driverless cars share roads with conventional cars, likely for decades.

But that scenario depends on a societal shift from private vehicle ownership to commercial fleets of driverless cars that can be quickly summoned with a phone app. Driverless fleets would have to be super-efficient carpools, picking up and dropping off multiple passengers traveling in the same direction.

The congestion nightmare would result if a large share of people can’t be persuaded to effectively share robot cars with strangers and to continue using mass transit, Isaac said.

Alaswad said his friendship with Landt has helped him land on his feet in Germany.

“If the refugees never talk face to face with a local person, they will never know anything about the culture here,” he said. “There is just such a big difference between our culture and the German culture.”

Germany registered around 1.1 million irregular migrants in 2015, most of them refugees from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. But with the closure of the Balkans migration route from Greece to Germany, the number of migrants coming in has dropped dramatically this year. So attention has now shifted to integrating the refugees, who will most likely spend several years, if not their whole lives, in Germany.

Rebuking Trump, Obama tells graduates walls won’t solve ills

By JOSH LEDERMAN The Associated Press

PISCATAWAY, N.J. – President Barack Obama urged college graduates Sunday to shun those who want to confront a rapidly changing world by building walls around the United States or by embracing ignorance, as he delivered a sharp and barely concealed critique of Donald Trump.

Obama used his commencement speech at Rutgers University to illustrate a world view antithetical to the ideas espoused by the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Looking out at a sea of red and black gowns, Obama told the roughly 12,000 graduating students that the pace of change on the planet is accelerating, not subsiding, and that recent history had proved that the toughest challenges

cannot be solved in isolation.

“A wall won’t stop that,” Obama said, bringing to mind Trump’s call for building a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico. “The point is, to help ourselves, we’ve got to help others – not pull up the drawbridge and try to keep the world out.”

The president never mentioned Trump by name, but his intended target seemed clear. Repeatedly, Obama referred to disparaging comments about Muslims and immigrants, and opposition to free trade deals. But he appeared most incensed by what he described as a rejection of facts, science and intellectualism that he said was pervading politics.

“In politics and in life, ignorance is not a virtue,” Obama said. “It’s not cool to not know what you’re talking about.

That’s not keeping it real or telling it like it is. That’s not challenging political correctness. That’s just not knowing what you’re talking about,” the president said.

“And yet, we’ve become confused about this,” he continued, warning the rejection of facts and science would lead the U.S. on a path of decline.

Obama’s rebuke came as Trump is close to clinching the GOP nomination, raising the prospect that November’s election could portend a reversal of Obama’s policies and approach to governing. In recent days, Trump has started focusing on the general election while working to unite a fractured Republican Party around his candidacy. Democrats are readying for a fight against a reality TV host they never anticipated would make it this far.

Israeli leader: Iran mocks Holocaust, prepares another The ASSOCIATED PRESS JERUSALEM – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lashed out at Iran Sunday for staging a Holocaust-themed cartoon contest that mocked the Nazi genocide of six million Jews during World War II and said the Islamic Republic is busy planning for another one.

Iran has long backed armed groups committed to Israel’s destruction and its leaders have called for it to be wiped off the map. Israel fears that Iran’s nuclear program is designed to threaten its very existence. But Netanyahu said it not just Iran’s belligerent policies that Israel opposed, but its values.

“It denies the Holocaust, it mocks the Holocaust and it is also preparing another Holocaust,” Netanyahu said at his weekly Cabinet meet-

ing. “I think that every country in the world must stand up and fully condemn this.”

State Department spokesman Mark Toner said the United States was concerned the contest could “be used as a platform for Holocaust denial and revisionism and egregiously anti-Semitic speech, as it has in the past.”

“Such offensive speech should be condemned by the authorities and civil society leaders rather than encouraged. We denounce any Holocaust denial and trivialization as inflammatory and abhorrent. It is insulting to the memory of the millions of people who died in the Holocaust,” Toner said.

The denial or questioning of the genocide is widespread in the Middle East, where many regard it as a pretext Israel used for its creation and to excuse its actions toward the Palestinians.

BERLIN – During the height of the migrant crisis in Europe last fall, Lasse Landt came to a startling realization.

Thousands of migrants were pouring into Germany every day, but the 36-year-old startup consultant from Berlin hadn’t met a single one of them.

“It was all over the media, every day on the talk shows you had people talking about the refugee crisis. I had never seen a refugee,” Landt said. “I just wanted to find out if it was real.”

His experience is typical for most Germans, and many have volunteered with charitable groups in part to meet the migrants they’re hearing so much about. But Landt went further – and the result is a kind of dating website for Germans and migrants, albeit without the romantic aspect.

Together with Khaled Alaswad, a 25-year-old Syrian he met at a computer coding class for migrants in Berlin, Landt started a project to help refugees and locals meet up. Called Let’s integrate!, it allows users to pick a time and location and set up a “date.”

The idea is to set as low a hurdle as possible for the meeting. No preparation is needed – people just need to show up and hopefully have a good

having migrants learn the language and get jobs. The German government has promised to introduce subsidized workplaces earmarked for refugees.

“In Germany, we have a very technocratic view of integration,” Landt said. “It is basically, you do a language class, you get a job and then you are integrated. But really, it is very much about social contact. Something you can achieve before you wait six months for your language class and another year before you are somewhat fluent.”

Let’s integrate! was launched May 1, and so far at least a dozen meetings have taken place. More Germans have signed up than migrants, so organizers are putting up posters in refugee homes to try to even out the numbers.

The service is free but only available in Berlin, though there are plans to expand it to other German cities soon, including those where migrants have received a less-than-enthusiastic reception. Fears about migrants have been stoked by far-right and nationalist groups, who have staged hundreds of rallies near refugee homes or planned shelters.

To identify each other at the meeting point, people are asked to hold up their index finger and thumb to make an L and I – for Let’s integrate – a bit like a secret hand signal.

How Illinois politicians pick their voters VIEWS Austin Berg Springfield saw the arrival of a curious contraption recently.

Outside the Illinois State Board of Elections was a 36-foot-long file cabinet, filled with more than 500,000 signatures, each one symbolizing a vote of no confidence in a rigged political system.

Throughout the state’s history, Illinois politicians have drawn political boundaries. Leaders have carefully crafted legislative maps to maximize the chance of success for the incumbent party. This system has led to a lack of competitive politics, and an equally distressing lack of confidence in state government.

But 570,000 signatures gathered by the nonpartisan Independent Map coalition could change all that. For comparison’s sake, that’s as if every person in Crystal Lake, McHenry, Woodstock, Huntley, Cary and Rockford cried out for change. It’s a monumental feat.

But it has been tried before.

Two years ago, associates of Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan, the politician who has benefited most from political control of redistricting, filed a lawsuit to quash a similar referendum on the subject. It was successful.

A look at how Madigan has played the redistricting game reveals why he’d loathe allowing citizens a new way forward. His redistricting prowess was best shown in the 2014 elections.

Despite Illinoisans voting for a Republican governor, Madigan did not lose a single Democratic seat in the Illinois House of Representatives, maintaining supermajority control.

“Across Illinois you’ve got districts that were created by legislators to help them remain in office,” said Independent Maps spokesman Jim Bray. “They pick the voters they want to have elect them.”

Research on Illinois’ partisan redistricting process, conducted by the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale, highlights how the 2011 redistricting process helped pave the way for such a skewed result.

Democrats were facing tough times

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Volunteers unload a 36-foot-long filing cabinet filled with documents containing more than 500,000 signatures from Illinois residents wanting redistricting reform. in Central Illinois. They knew maintaining one district covering Springfield, one covering Decatur and one covering rural counties just south of the two cities would mean a Republican rout.

So they created a new Senate district to splinter Decatur and Springfield by race, connecting the areas of Springfield and Decatur containing more black voters.

This left Springfield residents in the odd position of having three different state Senate districts. But it worked for the politicians. Democrats picked up a Senate seat and a House seat for their efforts.

Since the U.S. Supreme Court case Shaw v. Reno prohibits drawing borders “primarily” to create minority districts, Illinois House Democrats actually argued in federal court that they drew the district this way for partisan reasons.

Thankfully, the Independent Maps coalition did some tinkering after Madi-

gan’s challenge to the group’s efforts.

Which brings us to the absurdly long cabinetry.

If successful, the coalition’s referendum would take redistricting power from politicians and give it to a bipartisan commission of 11 Illinoisans. The commission would then draw legislative boundaries every 10 years, following the federal census.

This would mean fewer politically “safe” districts, fewer tortured shapes and loads more transparency.

But some interest groups contend that changing the status quo could lead to fewer minority lawmakers in Springfield.

The amendment, however, contains a number of provisions protecting the voices of minority voters, including the addition of federal Voting Rights Act provisions to the Illinois Constitution.

“There are a number of strong protections in the amendment that ensure minority voters will be able to elect a representative of their choosing,” Bray

said.

The current legislative districting system leaves a majority of Illinoisans without a real choice. Only 40 percent of Illinois’ legislative races in 2014 were contested, meaning 6 in 10 Illinois lawmakers elected that year got a free pass to the Statehouse.

This level of voter disenfranchisement must be addressed.

Republican or Democrat, political parties shouldn’t be able to rig the rules of the game. Citizens have made the herculean efforts necessary to put the redistricting issue to a vote. And many speculate these efforts will face legal challenges.

But it’s a worthy fight. And one the state’s most powerful politicians are afraid of losing.

Donald Trump

He is inconsistent, even by the lax standards of politicians. He will jettison anything he wants – tariffs on China, a ban on Muslims (he already refers to it as temporary), maybe even saving entitlements, getting Mexico to pay for a wall and his bromance with Vladimir Putin. He may end up liking other things, such as tax increases and the Iran deal. But who knows? Not even Trump himself, it seems, can predict what he will do or say.

Just when Republicans thought they were getting close to getting some closure, the pain keeps coming. The awkward first date on Capitol Hill just added to the anguish of a week in which Trump announced that he intends to “put some showbiz” into the July convention in Cleveland and continued to weave and bob about releasing his tax returns, potentially becoming the first major party nominee in 40 years to refuse to do so.

He’s not a Lincoln, Reagan, Kemp or Ryan Republican. He’s a Donald Trump Republican.

The final stage of grief for Republicans is: Get used to It.

In the days leading up to Donald Trump’s much-ballyhooed courtesy call to Capitol Hill on Thursday, House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, seemed like a groom wanting his presumptive bride to change before he does.

“This is the party of Lincoln, of Reagan, of Jack Kemp,” he said on CNN, letting it be known that the presumptive nominee still had a lot of explaining to do before he could get an endorsement from the top Republican elected official. “What a lot of Republicans want to see is that we have a standard bearer that bears our standards.”

Not even a glimmer of such clarity emerged on Thursday. The joint statement that followed the meeting was carefully worded to give the appearance of cordiality but also made clear that the standard bearer’s standards remain a work in progress.

“While we were honest about our few differences, we recognize that there are also many important areas of common ground,” Trump and Ryan said. They will keep talking and are confident “there’s a great opportunity to unify our party and win this fall.”

So nothing got done, but they will keep at it.

According to those on the periphery, Trump was in uber-charming mode after hamming it up for the crowd outside party headquarters on Capitol Hill on his way in, as if he were still campaigning. He wasn’t making any concessions. Since essentially wrapping up the nomination, his preferred analogy is that he’s won the pennant, the fans love him, so why would he change his fastball for the World Series?

He is critical of Ryan’s first marriage to Mitt Romney and blames Ryan for its failure. He is fond of saying that the speaker doomed the 2012 ticket with his promises to “cut the hell out of your Social Security.” Ryan would still trim Medicare and Social Security to save them; Trump would leave them alone. That’s a hard difference to paper over.

Later in the day, Ryan said he would still be keeping the details “private,” but commented that when it comes to unifying the party, “It takes some time; you don’t put it together in 45 minutes.”

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, a bland broker who produced a report after the 2012 shellacking that predicted irrelevance and doom if the party didn’t move to a place exactly opposite to Trump’s, told CNN the meeting was “great.”

Great was the meme of the day. Trump, unusually quiet after, tweeted a couple of hours later that it was “a great day in D.C … Things working out really well.” Trump later went to Jones, Day, the law firm representing his campaign, sparking speculation that former Secretary of State James Baker, in attendance, could be on his list of vice-presidential choices.

Even if Trump had chosen to praise or adopt part of Ryan’s agenda, it wouldn’t mean much.

Headaches could be sign of illness Dear Doctor K: I’ve had a headache every day for at least six months. Painkillers don’t help much. I know headaches are common, and I don’t like calling my doctor unless it’s a serious problem. Should I call him?

Dear Reader: Yes, you should. I imagine you’re thinking that because headaches are common, they rarely indicate a serious underlying problem – like a brain tumor. That’s true. I also imagine you have suffered from headaches for a long time, although you didn’t say that. You may think if you’ve had the problem a long time, it can’t be serious.

Here’s how I look at it. Many people suffer from repeated attacks of headache during their adult life (and even in childhood). Usually, the cause is migraine, tension or sinus headache. While it’s true these are not as “serious” as a brain tumor or brain infection, they sure can make a person’s life miserable.

But common chronic headache conditions, such as migraines, uncommonly cause headaches literally every day. That’s why the fact you’ve been having them every day for at least six months worries me.

I’d be even more worried if you told me these headaches are a new experience and that you didn’t suffer from headaches previously. Chronic headaches that develop for the first time after age 50 are more likely to be something serious. That’s why, if you were my patient, I would do testing for the more serious causes of headache.

The other reason to see your doctor is to get some relief – even if the headaches aren’t caused by a serious condition. One possibility is the pain medicines you’ve been taking may be contributing to your headaches, rather than relieving them.

Caffeine-containing headache drugs most often are to blame. Check the label of the pain pills you’ve been taking to see whether

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff they contain caffeine.

Caffeine helps painkillers work more quickly and efficiently by causing blood vessels to narrow. This makes you feel better – temporarily – because widened blood vessels contribute to headache pain.

But when the caffeine wears off, your blood vessels expand and your headache returns.

Regular use of painkillers likely also interferes with your body’s natural painkilling system. So ask your doctor whether there’s a chance you’re overusing headache medications.

Talk to your doctor about preventive medications, such as a muscle relaxant.

Another effective strategy is to combine a tricyclic drug with a beta blocker. Beta blockers decrease the intensity of headaches, while tricyclics reduce their frequency.

Also ask about physical therapies that might help: a heating pad applied daily to your neck and shoulders, massage, ultrasound or gentle stretching to relieve muscle tightness that may contribute to your headaches.

I don’t want to sound like an alarmist. And to repeat, the vast majority of headaches are not caused by serious and life-threatening illnesses such as brain tumors or infections. But daily headaches, especially if you’ve not suffered from headaches earlier in life, need to be thoroughly evaluated.

the student could dispose of them as he wished.

If other students were willing to spend $2 for $1 brownies, well – that’s capitalism. Perhaps next year the teacher who sold the brownies should raise her rates.

Dear Abby: Why do friends ignore a woman after being friends for many years because she is now widowed? I am not the only one who says this. At the senior center, they all agree. I’m willing to pay my way for dinner, concerts, movies, etc. I don’t expect anyone to pick up my tab.

Still, I no longer am invited to lunch or dinner gatherings.

Someday, these friends may be in my position. They claim to be kind and caring individuals, and I miss them. I have invited them over, but they never reciprocate. What can I do? –

Dear Abby: My DEAR ABBY ex-husband has suggested and Jeanne arranged for a sePhillips ries of spray-tan sessions for my 12-year-old daughter. I feel telling my preteen girl she should spray tan is sending her the wrong message, and we should instead be teaching her she’s beautiful just the way she is. How do you feel about this? Should I allow my 12-year-old daughter to tan? – Tan Or Not In Texas Dear Tan Or Not: NO! Your ex-husband may mean well, but unless a product is 100 percent safe, I cannot endorse using it on a minor child.

According to Darrell Rigel, M.D., professor of dermatology at New York University, any absorption of DHA – the main ingredient in spray tans – can pose a potential risk of genetic mutations, especially in repeated users of the product and those in higher risk groups such as pregnant women and young children. (By the way, salon workers who apply these products repeatedly throughout the workday also should be aware of this.)

For information about this, visit abcn. ws/1K0p8x9. The ABC investigative report is a must-read. Frankly, it curled my hair.

Dear Abby: I work at an urban high school.

Recently there was a campuswide fundraising campaign during which one of the teachers sold brownies. A student bought all of them for $1 each, then resold them at lunch for $2 apiece for his own profit. My co-workers insist this was wrong, while I feel it was representative of an enterprising spirit.

My co-workers say it was immoral to make money off a fundraising event. I maintain the charity already was paid for the brownies, and what he did with them after he bought them is immaterial. What do you think? – Wondering In

Aldous Huxley, an English novelist who died in 1963, said, “Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.”

In today’s deal, it is a fact that North-South had only 19 high-card points between them, but that didn’t stop South from taking 10 tricks in a spade partscore.

What do you think of the auction? How did South win 10 tricks after West led the heart queen?

East’s opening bid was no thing of beauty, especially opposite a passed partner, but he was bidding his best suit, and no one passes with 12 points these days. After South’s thin overcall, West made a textbook negative double, showing hearts. North had a near-maximum pass and would often have cue-bid two clubs to show a strong spade raise, but his hand was replete with losers, so he sensibly settled for two spades. When this came back to West, I think he should have doubled for takeout again, planning, if East bid three clubs (as he would have), to continue with three diamonds to show 4-5 in the red suits.

This would probably have failed by one trick.

Two spades almost played itself.

South won the heart-queen lead with his king, drew trumps ending in the dummy with the aid of the winning finesse, and led the club jack, which conveniently pinned West’s 10. South lost only one heart, one diamond and one club.

Afterward, West said that next time he would lead his club. Then it could go: club to the ace, club two (his lowest card being a suit-preference signal for diamonds) ruffed, diamond to the ace, club ruff.

WONDER WOMEN Kim, Rachel Stone training for U.S. Strongman National Championships

achel Stone has earned quite a reputation in a relatively short period of Strongman competi-

tions.

The Marian Central sophomore, along with her mother Kim, have experienced significant success in contests over the past year and a half.

Quint Zambon, who trains the Stones and also competes in Strongman, got an idea how famous they have become last month at a meet.

“They’re known now if they go to a show anywhere,” Zambon said. “Guys I compete against know them, they can’t believe Rachel is as young (15) as she is. At the Arnold (competition), one of the heavyweights competing there must have seen a video I put up of her. I told him she’s 15 and it blew his mind. Nobody believes it.”

Rachel and Kim, who live in Island Lake, have their biggest meet of the year, the United States Strongman National Championships coming up June 11 in Louisville, Kentucky. Rachel will compete in the Open Division, Kim, 51, will compete in the Masters.

“It’ll be hard. That’s why I’m really training and focusing on this right now,” Rachel said. “There are a lot of strong women in that class, but if I train hard enough, I will be prepared for it.”

Zambon said Stone would dominate the Teen Division without being challenged, so she moved up for better competition.

“From her nationals last year in June until now, she’s not even the same person and it wouldn’t even be close,” Zambon said. “She’d blow everybody out of the water in [the Teen

123-pound] weight class.”

Rachel Stone started training with Zambon 21/2 years ago after suffering multiple concussions while playing soccer. Kim, a teacher at Antioch Upper Grade School, decided to come with her daughter and try the Strongman workouts.

Strongman is different than powerlifting competitions in that athletes flip tires, toss kegs, press logs, lift stones or other implements. The Stones were naturals.

“I love it. It’s something I enjoy doing,” Rachel said. “Every day, I wake up and go, ‘I get to go to the gym today.

It’s going to be a good day.’ I absolutely love it.”

Some days they train with regular exercises such as dead lifts or squats.

On other days, they train with stones or yokes or other implements, depending on what Zambon has conjured up.

“My friends are like, ‘That is just insane,’ ” Kim said. “They are amazed by it. All it is, is training and technique.

I have a lot of people say to me, ‘I can’t believe you’re 51 years old.’ Usually we’re the youngest and the oldest in every contest. That’s our big joke.”

NBA playoffs: Oklahoma City at Golden State, 8 p.m., TNT Golden State’s pursuit of a second straight trip to the NBA Finals continues, and it’s no surprise the Warriors are back in the conference title round. Their opponent is a bit of a surprise. The Thunder knocked out San Antonio in six games, looking every bit like a title contender. Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat called the Thunder “scary” and said this team from OKC is better than the one that reached the NBA Finals in 2012.

PREP FOOTBALL

By MIKE DeFABO

ADDISON – Saturday was report card day. Or at least as close as it gets for high school football players when they competed in The Opening Regional at Addison Trail High School, a one-day exposure and evaluation camp sponsored by Nike.

After competing in the 40-yard dash, power ball toss, shuttle run and vertical jump, Prairie Ridge quarterback Samson Evans earned high marks.

The 6-foot-2, 192-pound sophomore ranked in the top 15 out of more than 300 participants at the camp, with a cumulative score of 93.13. Evans, the Northwest Herald Football Player of the Year in the fall, was electronically timed at 4.61 seconds in the 40-yard dash, measured 37.4 inches on the vertical jump and ran a 4.38-second short shuttle. All of those metrics place him within the top 90th percentile, and his vertical jump was in the 99th percentile.

It didn’t take a stopwatch or tape measure for Evans to prove himself in the Fox Valley Conference last fall. In Prairie Ridge’s triple-option offense, he rushed 226 times for nearly 2,000 yards and 29 touchdowns to go along with 728 passing yards and nine touchdowns through the air on the way to an 11-2 season and an appearance in the Class 6A semifinals.

Still, Evans already is setting the bar higher for next year.

“Next year, I hope to place top five for Chicagoland area,” Evans said. “But to do so, I’ll have to continue working with (strength and speed coach) Dave Davis to increase my performance on everything. They have done a great job to get me ready for this event.”

Here are some more thoughts and observations from the event:

Shaw Media file photo OLADIPO RACKS UP OFFERS, Woodstock North’s Jakob Brink (left) tackles Prairie Ridge quarterback Samson Evans on STILL LOOKING FOR IMPROVEMENT Huntley 6-4, 235-pound defensive a quarterback-keeper on Oct. 16 at Woodstock North High School in Woodstock.

end Olalaere Oladipo was among the most touted recruits from McHenry County who attended the camp, with about 20 offers, including numerous Big 10 Conference schools.

He rushed past Homewood-Flossmoor lineman Jamezz Kimbrough to knock over the orange cone set up to simulate a quarterback during 1-on-1 pass rushing drills. However, he still saw room for improvement in the combine-specific drills.

“It was definitely an eye-opener for what I need to work on,” Oladipo said.

year. For comparison sake, Hampshire 2017 grad Jake Vincent – who also competed at The Opening – attempted almost 350.

“The one main thing I need to work on is my footwork if I want to play QB in college,” Evans said. “Many schools want me either at safety or running back. But my main position is QB. To play there at the next level, I would have to continue working really hard with my footwork and just my legs in general to improve my throwing mechanics and get the most power and accuracy out of my throws.”

Illinois and Penn State have talked with the 2018 grad about playing safety when he visits their camps. Central Michigan envisions him as a running back. And Purdue invited him to a camp as a quarterback, so it still is up in the air.

“I want to be a dual-threat quarterback,” Mooney said. “At the same time, I can play anything. I can play receiver. I can play DB.”

everybody there.”

Rachel, who is 5-foot-1, 128 pounds, has lifted 130 pounds overhead in the log press. She can dead lift close to 300 pounds. She and Kim occasionally compete in the Open Division against each other, yet they support one another all the way and take turns doing videos during competitions.

“She always encourages me,” Rachel said. “I know she’s watching me

Continued from page 2 Zambon, a strength and conditioning specialist who works out of Forge Fitness in Crystal Lake, said the Stones usually train with him four days a week. He thinks Rachel, who will be in a world competition this summer, will do well in the Open Division at the

national Strongman next month.

“They say you need two years before you’re ready to compete at a national level and she did it the first year in,” Zambon said. “The second year to be qualified at the world level is unbelievable. She’ll hold her own (at nationals). She’s probably not a top-three level yet, but anything can happen. There’s nothing she can’t do. There’s events she can hang with

and proud of me.”

In a contest to qualify for the national meet, Kim was second and Rachel took third in the Open Division.

“That was pretty exciting,” Kim said. “I don’t always win, but usually I manage [personal records], those are more important than anything.

Especially at my age, you’re not trying to build muscle, you’re trying to maintain it.”

“It’s definitely good to see progress,” Blake said.

Keenan said his big takeaway from the day was from the position-specific drills.

“I was looking at what I can improve upon today,” Keenan said. “The top guys here are the top in the Midwest. I can just get better from going against these guys and learning from the coaches.”

As for Berg, he is a guy who has somewhat sailed under the radar.

However, Crystal Lake Central coach Jon McLaughlin called him a “weight room monster,” with a 300-plus pound bench press, 500-plus pound dead lift and nearly 500-pound squat.

Berg, a 2017 grad, should fortify an offensive line as it shifts from a run-centric, shotgun double wing to more of a pro-style offense under new offensive coordinator Dirk Stanger.

injury. “I’m very surprised. As soon as I saw someone else make it, I had confidence I could make it, too.”

Warriors coach Kyle Owens was surprised when Pauly made 5-3, the state-qualifying height. He was more shocked when she made 5-5.

“She made 5-0 her second time ever jumping,” Owens said. “She was kind of stuck on 4-11 until today.”

Owens said Pauly was late coming out for track because of her gymnastics club season. And it is her first year competing in track and field, so there is still a lot to learn.

“I’m excited for her future,” Owens said.

Gymnastics, Part II: Prairie Ridge sophomore Natasha Schaffer and Crystal Lake Central freshman Gabby Sysol also have extensive gymnastics training and are headed to state.

Schaffer won the triple jump and placed second in long jump at the Huntley Sectional. Schaffer’s 38-6 on her final triple jump was her career-best.

Sysol, who is friends with Schaffer from their gymnastics days, landed her career-best 35-113/4 to take second in the triple jump. That jump was 20 inches better than her previous best.

“I got to the point where I was thinking positive and pushed myself to go as far as I could,” Sysol said. “It felt really great.”

Last trip: Hampshire coach Patti Nihells is retiring as teacher and coach this year, but the WhipPurs gave her one more trip to the state meet with its 4x800 relay, sophomore Sophia Oury (1,600) and freshman Riley Seagren (high jump) qualifying.

The 4x800 team of Marie Mayer, Elizabeth Evans, Morgan Richert and Oury made it, which is fitting because Nihells usually had a 4x800 team qualify when the Whips were in Class 2A. This is their first year in 3A.

Seth Conroy, Keagan Smith, Mike Grocholski and Zach Bollman lopped several seconds off its best time for a 7:51.1 and the FVC Meet record Friday. It was the only record broken at the meet, bettering the old mark by 2 seconds.

“We were going after our school record, which is 7:55,” Grocholski said. “One of our coaches, Casey Popenfoose, was on that team. We were talking garbage to him saying we were going to beat him.

Keagan ran great, Seth wasn’t that pleased with his leg and I ran a second more than normal, but Zach ran well and picked up the slack.”

That group is looking to knock even more time off the next two weeks. Conroy will run at D-I Miami (Ohio) next year, Smith will run at the U.S. Military Academy and Grocholski will run at D-III Emory University in Atlanta.

Inside Girls Track and Field ATHLETE OF THE WEEK SYD HEIDTKE Woodstock, Freshman Heidtke took second place in the 300-meter low hurdles at the Class 2A Antioch Sectional on Wednesday to earn a trip to the IHSA girls track and field state meet Friday and Saturday in Charleston.

Heidtke did not win, but her time of 45.49 seconds was 1.14 faster than her winning time at the Fox Valley Conference Meet a week before.

The Blue Streaks’ freshman continues to chip more time off with each race in big meets and could have a shot at making the finals this weekend at Eastern Illinois University’s O’Brien Stadium.

4. Woodstock: The Blue Streaks are not as deep as some teams, but the quality in a few events put them third in the Class 2A Antioch Sectional. They will be represented at state in five events (by four girls).

5. Crystal Lake Central: The Tigers got a big performance from freshman Gabby Sysol to take second in the triple jump and qualify for state and finished seventh at the Huntley Sectional.

POWER RANKINGS 1. Cary-Grove: The Trojans tied for second at the Class 3A Hoffman Estates Sectional on Friday with Batavia at 74 points. Geneva won with 94.

Nikki Freeman (shot put, discus), Tabor Gleason (high jump, triple jump) and Maggie Cherveny (long jump, triple jump) are headed to state.

2. Huntley: The Red Raiders were fourth at their own Class 3A sectional with 42 points.

Their 4x800 team (Chloe Smith, Kiera Daly, Kate Mitchell and Mary Raclawski), along with Sarah Henderson (discus) and McKenzie Krich (high jump) qualified for state.

3. McHenry: The Warriors performed well in the field events, led by sectional champions Savannah Howie (pole vault) and freshman Jenna Pauly (high jump), and were fifth at the Huntley Sectional.

NOTEWORTHY Big jump: McHenry freshman Jenna Pauly provided a huge surprise with her 5-foot, 5-inch high jump Thursday for second place at the Class 3A Huntley Sectional.

There is a good reason why Pauly, who is 5-foot-4, cleared a height one inch taller than her.

She grew up competing in gymnastics and still competes for Corkscrew Gym in McHenry. Girls with gymnastics backgrounds often thrive in track and field because they have the natural explosiveness for jumps or sprints.

Pauly was battling an injury from a week before and had shortened her approach, but it all came together for her.

“My approach is a lot shorter,” said Pauly, who only practiced a couple days because of a hip flexor

Anikamadu won the 100 in 11.03 seconds, which was 0.28 ahead of Jacobs’ Steven Bellefontaine in second place.

He teamed with Ben Marsh, Eric Mooney and Jeremie Allen in the 4x100 relay, then with Marsh, Allen and Trevor Dell’Aquilla in the 4x200 and with Brendan O’Donnell, Dell’Aquilla and Mooney in the 4x400.

All of those relays won their races as Huntley won nine events in the meet and scored 159 points, taking first by 66 points.

Anikamadu usually runs the 4x100 and 4x200, but also was added to the 4x400 by Raiders coach Jim Rolando.

POWER RANKINGS 1. Prairie Ridge (12-1, 9-0 Fox Vally Conference): The Wolves were idle this week. Their senior night contest against Crystal Lake Central was rescheduled twice, but coach Josh Cole said he expects they will get the game in “at some point this week.” The Wolves are scheduled to play Palatine on Tuesday and Batavia on Thursday.

2. Cary-Grove (5-8, 5-2 FVC): The Trojans split a pair of games this week, beating Dundee-Crown, 18-1, before losing to Barrington, 8-7.

Toronto moves on to East finals

By IAN HARRISON

The Associated Press TORONTO – Toronto fans chanted ‘We Want Cleveland!’ in the final seconds. They got it.

Kyle Lowry scored 35 points, DeMar DeRozan had 28 and the Raptors beat the Miami Heat, 11689, in Game 7 on Sunday to advance to the conference finals for the first time in franchise history.

Bismack Biyombo added 17 points and 16 rebounds for the Raptors. They’ll open the Eastern Conference finals Tuesday in Cleveland against LeBron James and the Cavaliers.

“It’s great to hear the home crowd,” DeRozan said. “This organization deserves it, this country deserves it, to see them get to the next step, somewhere they haven’t been. But we’re not done yet.”

After struggling for much of the playoffs, Lowry and DeRozan were in top form for Game 7. Lowry made 11 of 20 shots, including five of seven from 3-point range, and DeRozan connected on 12 of 29 attempts. Lowry had nine assists and seven rebounds, and DeRozan had eight rebounds.

“We never doubted Kyle and DeMar,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. “They’re our AllStars, and they both played like it tonight. They both stepped up and carried us.”

DeMarre Carroll scored 14 points, and Patrick Patterson had 11 to help the Raptors become the

15th team in NBA history to win two Game 7s in one postseason.

Toronto beat Indiana in the first round.

Now the Raptors get ready for the Cavaliers, who swept Detroit in the first round and have been resting since May 8, when they capped a second-round sweep of Atlanta.

“I think this group is hungry,” Casey said about his team. “Never say never.”

Casey declined to say whether center Jonas Valanciunas, who sprained his right ankle in Game 3 against the Heat, would be available against Cleveland.

STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS: BLUES 2, SHARKS 1

Elliott leads way for St. Louis in Game 1

By R.B. FALLSTROM The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS – Once again, Brian Elliott was the star of the show. His latest performance gave his St. Louis Blues teammates plenty of comfort knowing he had their back.

AP photo “When your goalie is your best Blues defenseman Jay Bouwmeester (left) and player, it gives you a great chance of right wing Vladimir Tarasenko (middle) celebrate winning, and that was the case,” capwith goalie Brian Elliott after Game 1 of the Stan- tain David Backes said after the Blues ley Cup Western Conference final against the opened their first Western Conference Sharks on Sunday in St. Louis. The Blues won, 2-1. final in 15 years with a tense 2-1 victory

over the San Jose Sharks on Sunday.

“It was that way for the first two rounds,” Backes added, “and nothing’s changed in Game 1 of the third round.”

Backes opened the scoring and Jori Lehtera had the go-ahead goal in the second period on a spinning shot that Martin Jones could not handle.

“I just got the puck and closed my eyes and shot it, that’s about it,” Lehtera said. “Just keep it simple.”

Said Jones: “Not much to it, just found a hole. I’ll make that save next time.”

Tomas Hertl scored on a first-period deflection for the Sharks, who outshot St. Louis, 32-23, but couldn’t quite solve Elliott.

Among those he frustrated was captain Joe Pavelski, who had seven shots and had perhaps the best chance in the third period on a one-timer near the midway mark. Pavelski and Elliott were roommates at Wisconsin.

“I’m going to blame that one on the stick,” Pavelski said. “No, I have to find a way to put that in regardless of what goes on. I thought it was going in.”

Obviously, the Bears’ plan is to do everything they can to get him bigger.

When I asked him if he felt he could succeed without adding weight Floyd said, “Yes, sir, yes, sir. I believe in myself and the coaches believe in me, too.”

Believing in yourself and having the tools to succeed are two different things.

Bears OLB coach Hurtt loves Floyd’s speed, versatility

By ARTHUR ARKUSH

aarkush@profootballweekly.com LAKE FOREST – Simply looking at his Georgia stat sheet to learn about ninth-overall draft pick Leonard Floyd, Bears fans might be confused.

Floyd’s production, which along with his weight, is the biggest hot-button topic since the Bears traded their first- and a fourth-rounders to Tampa to move up two spots to select him – hardly screams top-10 pick. His sack total, which fell in each of his three seasons, was 17. He added 28.5 tackles for loss, five forced fumbles, four passes defensed and zero interceptions.

Bears outside linebackers coach Clint Hurtt provides some context on the pedestrian numbers.

“Your sack numbers aren’t going to be high when you’re playing nickel back and inside linebacker,” Hurtt said Saturday of Floyd’s numerous col-

lege roles. “If he rushed off the edge 95 percent of the time, I would be willing to bet he’d be a double-digit sack guy.

But that wasn’t the case.”

The Bears expect their new, long, lean, lightning-fast linebacker to boost a pass rush that generated only 35 sacks, tied for 22nd in the NFL. Hurtt also said Floyd’s special athleticism can be effective all over the field.

“Now you have a guy, we got to play (Aaron) Rodgers twice a year, we got to play (Teddy) Bridgewater twice a year,” he said. “You know, (Matthew) Stafford might not be known to be as athletic as Rodgers and Bridgewater, but he’s an athletic guy. We got to play those guys six games a year. We don’t have a single guy in the front-seven who can track those guys down.”

Bridgewater scrambling for a first down late in the fourth quarter of Minnesota’s game-tying Week 8 drive stands out from one of the Bears’ toughest 2015 de-

feats. Five weeks later, Blaine Gabbert’s legs similarly helped propel San Francisco during a fourth-quarter comeback.

Hurtt cited Floyd’s game against Auburn, whose breakneck pace and wide-open scheme is how some NFL offenses are trending, as an example of the flexibility Floyd’s addition will offer the defense.

“When you’re on the defensive side of the ball and you have to defend an offense like that, you see the guys that have to play with instincts, that have to play with discipline, and the different things that they have to do,” Hurtt said.

Floyd had six tackles, a tackle for loss and a sack in Georgia’s road win. Hurtt also referenced the loss to Alabama as evidence that even a 230-pounder can hold up against a powerful NFL-style run game because of how he uses his length and bend.

Is there an NFL player whose versatility reminds Hurtt of Floyd’s?

“… A guy that I do like watching, and I do a lot of studying and I see the position flex and versatility ... is a guy like Jamie Collins,” he said. “I’m not saying the physical traits are there. I don’t know the tale of the tape on that.

But in terms of the mental side of it, the play-making ability, play in space, rush the passer, play the run game, Jamie Collins is a very similar comparison.”

Collins might be Bill Belichick’s most valuable Patriots defender.

As much as the Bears value Floyd’s versatility, Hurtt admits his pass-rush ability must be unlocked. “… Granted, he’s still going to be raw in a lot of areas,” Hurtt said. “It’s a deal where you’re a jack-of-all-trades, masterof-none, OK? Now, it’s teaching him how to rush the passer. He has some natural pass-rush ability, but his skill level has to come a long way. And he will because he works hard at it, and he’s grinding away to try and master and get better.”

• Monday, May 16, 2016

LAKE FOREST – Dating back a few weeks to the draft and now that the Bears have wrapped up rookie minicamp Sunday, the hot button or buzz around the ballclub continues to be all about Leonard Floyd.

There is no debate about the young man’s unique athletic traits and there is one school of thought that he looks like an excellent choice BEARS INSIDER because of them.

There is anHub Arkush other school of thought that states Floyd just wasn’t productive enough at Georgia, in light of his special abilities, to justify being selected so high.

Some would like to debate this, but the fact is his numbers just don’t say ninth-overall pick.

Although it is all fun, offseason chatter, I find myself firmly planted on the fence and my impression after spending the weekend at Halas Hall is that there might be members of the Bears brain trust sitting next to me.

Having never stood by a scale with Floyd on it, I can only tell you that numerous reliable sources assure me the young man played between 225 and 230 pounds while he was at Georgia, and it has been taken as a given Floyd will have to get “bigger” to be productive let alone excel for the Bears.

Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio might not agree, telling the media after Saturday’s practice, “The weight thing’s not a big thing with me. He’s going to weigh somewhere between

PIRATES 2, CUBS 1

Single in 7th, along with a high pitch count, foils attempt

By JEFF ARNOLD For the Sun-Times

Until that point, it was Lester who had given the Cubs every chance to complete the series sweep. Lester, who threw a no-hitter May 19, 2008, with the Red Sox, struck out nine, lowered his ERA to 1.88 and turned in his seventh quality start in eight outings.

The rate at which the Cubs have scored runs has made life easy for the starters. Although Lester didn’t have that luxury Sunday, he knows it won’t be every day that the Cubs’ bats are quiet.

Outside of the fastball to Kang that he didn’t locate, Lester discovered a silver lining. He found his curveball, and he knows he’s in a better place now than he was at this point last season, his first with the Cubs.

“I was behind the 8-ball last year to start the year and put myself even further behind the 8-ball with a terrible April,” Lester said. “Hopefully, I’ll just continue to give our team chances to win ballgames, and that’s all I will try to do the whole year.”

YANKEES 7, WHITE SOX 5

Abreu says Sox are built to bounce back

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

NEW YORK – Jose Abreu said the White Sox have the right makeup to bounce back from losses.

We shall now see.

Sunday’s 7-5 defeat to the New York Yankees was a bad one, tainted by uncharacteristic shaky defense, which saw a franchise-record 12-game errorless streak come to and, an ineffective start from right-hander Miguel Gonzalez and a bullpen that allowed Yankees damage in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings.

“Not a good road trip for us,” Adam Eaton said. “We’ve been playing good baseball here and there and we have to put it behind us.”

The loss was the Sox’s fourth in fifth games, a stretch that began Tuesday when they blew a five-run lead against the Texas Rangers.

“Not (an issue) at all,” Todd Frazier said. “We went 12 straight games without an error. It’s going to happen. We worry about the mental mistakes, not the physical ones, because we know eventually it’s going to happen.

“What were we, 2-4 on the road trip with a couple tough losses and a couple tough wins. Bottom line is we get another off day [Monday] to regroup and get back to it in two days.”

can be better, and that’s the motivation every day, no matter what happened last night,” he said. “Today is a new day, and that’s something that brings us energy and invigorates you.”

Abreu, who was 1 for 5, is hitting .248 and hasn’t even gone off yet, and the Sox are patiently waiting but thankful to be in the position they’re in with his goodbut-not-great (five homers, six doubles, 24 RBIs) start. He’s showing signs.

Ask him, and he’ll tell you he might be close.

“Right now, I’m feeling very, very good,” Abreu said.

Manager Robin Ventura also expects the numbers to start popping soon.

“I’m very confident,” Abreu said.

“That’s something that’s going to happen.”

Ventura likes the way Abreu is swinging the bat. He pointed to an opposite-field blast in Texas that Abreu thought was gone but was knocked down by high, stormy wind.

“Oh yeah, as far as swinging the bat, going the other way and making hard contact,” Ventura said.

“He just has to continue to stay with it. We know what he can do. We don’t look at it like a guy is getting older and losing pop. People are pitching him different, and I think once the lineup gets more consistent, it’s going to happen.”

CHICAGO – As focused as Jon Lester was on the matter at hand Sunday at Wrigley Field, the two video boards behind him displayed the obvious.

One reminded Lester he hadn’t allowed a hit entering the seventh inning against the Pirates. The other told him he quickly was approaching 100 pitches, suggesting that even if Lester continued to dominate, he likely wouldn’t finish the game.

But when Starling Marte drove Lester’s 101st pitch into right field for a single, any notion of his second career no-hitter vanished. When Jung Ho Kang delivered an RBI double two bat-

ters later, Lester’s 61/3 hitless innings became a moot point.

Kang added a home run in the ninth against Hector Rondon, and the Pirates held on to beat the Cubs, 2-1.

“It really doesn’t matter now,” Lester said. “It [stinks] to go through that whole scenario there and leave one in the middle and [Kang] doesn’t miss it.”

Pirates ace Gerrit Cole made it stand up.

Cole held the Cubs to three hits in eight Jon Lester innings and struck out seven. The Cubs threatened in the ninth against closer Mark Melancon. Dexter Fowler walked and Jason Heyward singled him to third. One out later, Fowler scored on Anthony Rizzo’s sacrifice fly.

But after Heyward stole second base, Ben Zobrist grounded out into a shift.

“That’s the way it goes, man,” Heyward said. “We gave ourselves a chance. That’s all we can ask for.”

SPORTS BRIEFS MCC baseball wins sectional championship vs. Carl Sandburg

The McHenry County College baseball team defeated Carl Sandburg, 14-0, in the NJCAA Region IV Sectional championship game Sunday to advance to the regional semifinals.

Jacobs graduate Reilly Peltier (7-2) earned the victory, pitching eight shutout innings and allowing only two hits and two walks while striking out nine.

The Scots (46-10 overall), who have won 26 games in row, were led by Brett Stratinsky (1 for 5, three runs scored and a home run) and Nick Vasic (3 for 4, three RBIs and three stolen bases). The Scots had nine stolen bases in the victory.

The Scots will play Friday at home against a team yet to be determined.

Russia, a track and field powerhouse, was suspended by the IAAF in November after a WADA panel report that found state-sponsored cheating.

“Serious mistakes have been made by the federation management, along with athletes and coaches who have broken anti-doping rules and neglected the principle of fair play,” said Vitaly Mutko, writing in British newspaper The Sunday Times. “Let us be clear. We are ashamed of them.”

“We are very sorry that athletes who tried to deceive us, and the world, were not caught sooner. We are very sorry because Russia is committed to upholding the highest standards in sport and is opposed to anything that threatens the Olympic values.”

Mutko did not, however, admit any involvement in doping by the Russian government, a central charge in both

November’s WADA report and recent allegations that test samples were switched at the Sochi Olympics.

Former big league pitcher Sammy Ellis dies at 75

NEW YORK – Former major league pitcher Sammy Ellis, who became an All-Star with the Cincinnati Reds in 1965, has died.

He was 75.

The funeral home handling the arrangements said Ellis died Friday in Temple Terrace, Florida. It didn’t provide details on his death.

The New York Yankees held a moment of silence for Ellis before playing the White Sox on Sunday and put his picture on the scoreboard. Ellis was a pitching coach for several teams, including the Yankees.

Ellis went 22-10 with two saves for the Reds in 1965, throwing 15 complete games and 2632/3 innings. He was 63-58 with a 4.15 ERA in seven seasons, also pitching for the Angels before finishing up with the White Sox in 1969. The right-hander went on to coach and work with many clubs, spending time with the White Sox, Cubs, Seattle, Boston, Baltimore and Cincinnati.

Aussie athletes to receive condoms touted at combating Zika

SYDNEY – Australian athletes at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro will be supplied with condoms that manufacturers said will offer “near complete” antiviral protection against the Zika virus.

The Australian Olympic Committee announced the health measure for the Aug. 5 to 21 Olympics in a statement Monday, with the team’s chef de mission Kitty Chiller saying distribution of the condoms was “a commonsense approach to a very serious problem we are facing in Rio.” The mosquito-borne Zika virus is an epidemic in Central and Latin America, and the World Health Organization has declared it a global health emergency.

NASCAR: SPRINT CUP SERIES

GOLF ROUNDUP

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Matt Kenseth (center) celebrates in Victory Lane after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race Sunday at Dover International Speedway in Dover, Del. “I think the last 20 laps is about as good as anybody could drive a racecar,” Gibbs said.

Larson matched his career-best finish for owner Chip Ganassi. Elliott had the top finish of his first season at Hendrick Motorsports.

The Next Generation has to wait for the confetti shower in victory lane.

Larson refused to bump Kenseth out of his path over the final thrilling laps and wanted a clean pass in the No. 42 to earn the win.

“It doesn’t even seem right that he hasn’t won yet,” Kenseth said.

“He’s got a bunch of victories in front of him, for sure. He’s a really,

really clean, hard racer, and a fast learner.”

The 44-year-old Kenseth is older than the combined ages of Elliott, 20, and the 23-year-old Larson.

The 2003 Cup champion, Kenseth led the Daytona 500 headed into the final lap before JGR teammate Denny Hamlin took the checkered flag, setting the stage for a 0-for-11 start.

“That is probably the longest streak I can remember being on without having any real good finishes,” Kenseth said.

Kenseth, Larson and Elliott were among the survivors after Jimmie Johnson triggered a late-race crash that eliminated several contenders.

RANGERS 7, BLUE JAYS 6

Simmering feud boils over causing brawl in Texas

By SCHUYLER DIXON The Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas – Jose Bautista slid hard into second base, stood up and found himself face-to-face with Texas’ Rougned Odor.

Next thing the Toronto slugger knew, he was rattled by a punch to the jaw that sent his batting helmet and sunglasses flying.

A feud simmering since Bautista’s bat flip in last year’s AL Division Series boiled over into a wild brawl that ultimately triggered six of the eight ejections in the Blue Jays’ 7-6 loss Sunday.

“I was pretty surprised,” Bautista said. “I mean, obviously, that’s the only reason that he

got me and he got me pretty good, so I have to give him that. It takes a little bit bigger man to knock me down.”

Perhaps it’s a good thing the Rangers and Blue Jays have played for the final time this season. As for the playoffs, well, that would be interesting.

Texas is headed to Oakland, and the Blue Jays back home to Toronto, the site of last year’s emotional meeting in the playoffs.

That’s when Bautista capped a wild seventh inning with a clutch three-run homer and the monumental bat flip that angered Texas.

This time, Bautista was upset by getting hit by an eighth-inning pitch from 30-year-old Texas rookie Matt Bush (1-0).

DOVER, Del. – Matt Kenseth had eluded the wreckage that turned Dover into a junkyard. He never felt he could escape the pressure that Kyle Larson put on him – the anointed future star racing door-to-door with the former champion.

“He was all over me,” Kenseth said. “I think if he would have snuck inside, it would have been over.”

Twenty-one years older that Larson, Kenseth used some of his veteran experience to find the high groove on the mile concrete track and surge to victory Sunday in the wreck-filled race at Dover International Speedway.

Kenseth snapped a 17-race winless streak skid with his 37th career victory – and denied Larson his first Sprint Cup victory.

Larson made Kenseth work for the victory that secured him a spot in the Chase.

But it was third-place finisher Chase Elliott who might have cost Larson as much as Kenseth’s late-race maneuvering. Elliott, the second-generation rookie who replaced Jeff Gordon in the No. 24, made an aggressive run and briefly passed Larson for second. Their brief battle took enough steam out of Larson’s push that Kenseth was able to create a needed gap and become the fourth Joe Gibbs Racing driver to win in 2016.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – The best field in golf was no match for Jason Day at The Players Championship.

Day caused only a little drama Sunday in what otherwise felt more like another coronation for the 28-year-old Australian. He led by at least two shots the entire round, played bogey-free again on the back nine at the TPC Sawgrass and closed with a 1-under-par 71 to win golf’s richest tournament.

Along the way, he put a stamp on his No. 1 ranking.

Day won for the seventh time in the past 10 months, titles Jason Day that include a major, a World Golf Championship and a pair of FedEx Cup playoff events. He became the first wire-towire winner in 16 years at Sawgrass.

Day won $1.89 million from the $10.5 million purse. He won by four shots over Kevin Chappell, who closed with a 69 to pick up a $1,134,000 consolation check.

Mauritius Open: At Beau Champs, Mauritius, South Korea’s Wang Jeung-hun won for his second straight European Tour title, closing with an even-par 72 for a one-stroke victory.

The tournament also was sanctioned by the Asian Tour.

Rex Hospital Open: At Raleigh, North Carolina, Trey Mullinax won for his first Web. com Tour title, shooting a 3-under 68 for a twostroke victory.

Symetra Classic: At Charlotte, North Carolina, Erica Popson won for her first Symetra Tour title, rallying for a two-stroke victory at Raintree Country Club.

Second-round leader Kendall Dye tied for second with Jenni Jenq and Australia’s Emma de Groot.
