Good morning, McHenry County ...

Springfield falls through looking glass “Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

More often than sometimes, the Illinois General Assembly does six head-scratching things before adjourning for the day. That includes Wednesday evening’s approval of House Speaker Michael Madigan’s spending bill that is $7 billion out of whack.

“Curiouser and curiouser.”

Madigan introduced his 500-page spending bill earlier Wednesday, giving the 63 House Democrats who voted for it just hours to read and digest it all before making such an important decision. Fascinating. Lapdogs, anyone?

“I can’t go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.”

The House actually went back to yesterday (Wednesday) on Thursday, when it passed

Madigan’s budget disaster for a second time to settle a procedural dispute regarding the first vote. Unfortunately, it was the same House voting the second time around.

At least it’d be more entertaining.

BANGKOK – A Thai man is recovering from a bloody encounter with a 10-foot python that slithered through the plumbing of his home and latched its jaws onto his penis as he was using a squat toilet.

Attaporn Boonmakchuay was smiling as Thai TV stations interviewed him in his hospital bed about the intimate intrusion, and doctors said he would recover. But photos of his blood-splattered bathroom in Chachoengsao province, east of Bangkok, were testimony to his ordeal. The 38-year-old told Thai TV Channel 7 that he struggled to remove the snake for 30 minutes Wednesday before he managed to free himself with help from his wife and a neighbor.

Polish Legion hall rebuilt after fire

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Cliff Schmidt finally feels as if he has his home back.

Two years after a Mother’s Day fire ravaged the building, the Polish Legion of American Veterans Post 188 hall at 1304 Park St. in McHenry has been rebuilt and expanded. The process left members relieved to have a dedicated space again and empowered to know more than bricks and mortar held them together.

“Sometimes, it’s hard to maintain enthusiasm when you don’t have your own house,” said Schmidt, the post’s commander. “But the bottom line is, we made it a point to realize it’s the people, not the building, that make the post.”

The blaze that May 11 morning took firefighters 2½ hours to extinguish. It destroyed the roof over the back of the building and caused significant damage to the front.

Investigators determined that the fire started on the roof in an area where roofers were using a blow torch, said Mike Majerick, McHenry Township Fire Protection District battalion chief. Officially, the cause of the fire is undetermined.

Inside, the walls, furnishings and fixtures were charred black and water – damaged. Photos of the damage hang on the new, white walls inside the hall, below wood carvings brought in by new members and above tables and chairs purchased, in part, with donations.

Other veterans organizations opened their doors to members while the Polish Legion hall was uninhabitable. The VFW, America Legion and Moose Lodge, among others, allowed meetings and fundraisers that helped the post make its monthly goal to donate about $300 to TLS Veterans. The money goes toward the cost of a food truck that helps homeless veterans.

Even with members and others willing to help, the process of rebuilding the place the organization had occupied since 1982 wasn’t always easy,

The renovation took longer and cost more than expected. In the end, however, he said the struggles were worth it.

“The building is the nucleus of the organization,” Zriny said. “Everything comes out of the center hub, and the center hub is the building, and all the people come in it. It’s as simple as that.”

Members were able to salvage some of the building’s shell, which was about the only thing left after the blaze. About 2,500 bricks had to be scrubbed clean before they could be put back in place.

The building itself, now two stories instead of one, was funded by an undisclosed amount of insurance money and bank loans.

Perhaps members’ favorite new feature is the kitchen, which is about three times larger than the previous kitchen.

Lawmakers blast House budget vote

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com McHenry County’s representatives in Springfield could not contain their dismay over a last-minute House vote on a 500-page 2017 budget that Republicans allege is more than $7 billion in the red.

Months of behind-the-scenes work by rank-and-file lawmakers to craft a compromise budget – and try to end an almostyear-long impasse between Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan and Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner – appeared to disintegrate as lawmakers were presented the Democratic budget midafternoon Wednesday and given only a few hours to review it before a vote.

Amid loud protests from the Republican minority, Democratic lawmakers approved it, 63-53, with one member voting present. Seven Democratic members voted no, including local state Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, which means that House Democrats will not have the 71 votes needed to override an almost-certain veto by Rauner, provided the Senate approves the budget as well.

“This was a political play, and it was not based on sound public policy,” Franks said.

Illinois has gone without a budget since the June 1, 2015, start of the current fiscal year; and Wednesday’s actions may mean that lawmakers will adjourn May 31 without approving one for the 2017 state fiscal year, set to begin Tuesday.

State Rep. Barbara Wheeler, R-Crystal Lake, called the budget bill nothing but a “campaign insurance plan” so Democratic members can go back to their constituents and say that they voted to craft a budget and preserve social services and paint the GOP and Rauner as the bad guys. Wheeler said she now doubts that the state will have a budget until after the Nov. 8 election.

“On May 31, we’re going to leave and not have a budget. We’re going to have elections, and that’s shameful,” Wheeler said.

“You’re not going to see anything until after the November election, when everyone will be brave enough to do the right thing.”

After this coming Tuesday, three-fifths supermajorities will be required to pass a budget until the end of the year.

Rauner has maintained since he vetoed last year’s budget that he will not support new tax revenue without major reforms to workers’ compensation, tort liability, collective bargaining and local property taxes, as well as other changes he said are necessary to reverse the state’s dire fiscal

We’re going to have elections, and that’s shameful.”

condition. The budget plan passed Wednesday contained none of Rauner’s proposed reforms.

State Rep. Mike Tryon, R-Crystal Lake, said he had never seen a budget vote like this, and never recalls getting the budget in one omnibus bill mere hours before a vote.

“I don’t think Madigan wants a budget,” Tryon said. “In his mind’s eye, the longer this goes on, people don’t blame the speaker – they blame the governor. He’s trying to blame [Rauner] for 12 years of mismanagement.”

Although a year without a budget is devastating social service agencies and universities, a sense of urgency is dampened by the fact that about 90 percent of the state’s bills still are being paid through court orders and consent decrees. But those bills are adding to the state’s deficit. Comptroller Leslie Geissler Munger estimated that the state’s current $7 billion backlog of unpaid bills could more than double to $15 billion under the current budget proposal.

Not only is the state disbursing money it does not have without a budget, it also is doing so at fiscal 2015 spending levels, the final year of a temporary 67 percent income tax increase that has since mostly expired.

State Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, pointed to the dire straits of social service agencies to emphasize that continued delay on a budget is unacceptable.

Both he and Tryon said they hope Rauner chooses to call lawmakers into special session after the May 31 adjournment and keep them in Springfield until a deal is struck. Franks also has long implored Rauner to force a special session.

McSweeney said he is not a fan of what he calls “secret” working groups trying to come up with a budget compromise – he alleges that they are more interested in tax increases than cuts and reform.

“My concern is that with all the talks in these secret working groups is that everyone is talking about tax increases,” McSweeney said. “This is not the right answer.”

Prosecutors say woman who caused crash that killed mother was on heroin

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, woman was under the influence of heroin when she caused a crash that led to the death of a Woodstock mother, authorities allege in new criminal charges filed against her.

Sheree Ann Shaw, 45, was driving a 2002 Ford Taurus about 3:30 p.m.

May 6 north in the 2500 block Route 31 in McHenry when she entered the Sheree southbound lanes, strik- Ann Shaw ing a 2007 Harley-Davidson Road Glide being driven by Mike Thornton with passenger Amy Thornton, McHenry Deputy Chief John Birk said.

Amy Thornton, 42, died May 15 at Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, where she was taken after the crash. Her husband, Mike

Thornton, 39, suffered serious injuries and remains in the hospital.

Shaw has been charged with aggravated DUI causing the death of another person, a Class 2 felony; driving under the influence of drugs and driving on a suspended license, both Class A misdemeanors; and improper lane usage, a petty offense, Birk said.

With the assistance of the U.S. Marshal’s Task Force, Shaw was taken into custody Thursday in Twin Lakes without incident, police said. She was taken to the Walworth County Jail to await extradition proceedings.

Shaw also has been arrested on drug offenses in California and Wisconsin, according to court documents.

If convicted of the felony charge, Shaw could face up to seven years in prison.

Amy Thornton was a mother of two and a nurse whose family described her as kind and outgoing. The day before she died, her oldest son, 18-yearold Zach, graduated from Woodstock

“It’s a little bit of relief, but it’s not going to help the fact that my wife is gone,” Mike Thornton said. “But it does help knowing something is happening. It’s a little bit of justice.”

The family plans to hold a celebration of Amy Thornton’s life once Mike Thornton has recovered from his injuries. He expects to leave the hospital Saturday, although he will not be able to put pressure on his left side for at least nine weeks.

1.9M Illinois residents expected to travel Memorial Day weekend

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The lowest gas prices in more than a decade have travel experts warning travelers to anticipate a crowded Memorial Day weekend.

The American Automobile Association predicts some 38 million travelers will journey more than 50 miles from their homes this Memorial Day weekend, the second highest travel volume on record and the highest amount since 2005.

“We are forecasting an increase in holiday travelers for the second consecutive year, and the most in 11 years, largely due to low gas prices, a growing labor market and rising personal incomes,” said Joe Richardson, president and CEO of AAA – The Auto Club Group.

In Illinois, 1.9 million people are expected to travel for the holiday weekend, the company said. Of those, 1.7 million will be driving, up 1.3 percent from 2015. About 95,000 will be flying to their destination, a 0.8 increase

“We are forecasting an increase in holiday travelers for the second consecutive year, and the most in 11 years, largely due to low gas prices, a growing labor market and rising personal incomes.”

Joe Richardson

President and CEO of AAA – The Auto Club Group from 2015.

The average cost for a gallon of gas in Illinois is $2.56, AAA said, about 20 cents less than 2015’s price.

According to GasBuddy.com, Crystal Lake’s average gas price was in line with the state average.

Locally, police will be out in force as part of an Illinois Department of Transportation-funded crackdown on drunken drivers or unbuckled motor-

ists. Provisional numbers show that 13 fatalities occurred on Illinois roadways during the 2015 Memorial Day weekend; three of those fatalities were alcohol-related.

Wearing a seat belt is the best defense against an impaired driver, said Crystal Lake Police Deputy Chief Tom Kotlowski.

“Motorists should take the extra time and the extra steps to make sure that you and everybody in your car is properly buckled in,” Kotlowski said.

“It’s going to be worth it if you do end up in a crash.”

Those flying need to be aware of long lines that could affect their travel plans.

Transportation Security Administration lines last week caused more than 450 American Airlines passengers at O’Hare International Airport to miss their flights. Since then, TSA has added officers and canine units.

Still, AAA and TSA officials recommend arriving at the airport at least two to three hours early for domestic flights and three to four hours early for international flights.

LOCAL BRIEF Motorcyclist suffers injuries in crash, Fox Lake fire official says

LAKEMOOR – A man suffered life-threatening injuries Thursday from a motorcycle crash in the Lakemoor area, a fire official said.

The Fox Lake Fire Protection District was dispatched about 4:30 p.m. to the area of West Sullivan Lake Road and West Brandenberg Road, where a motorcycle crash had been reported, according to scanner traffic.

Capt. Brent Connelly said a man “was being worked on” by bystanders when emergency responders arrived. The patient was quickly put into an ambulance and taken to Centegra Hospital – McHenry with injuries Connelly called “certainly critical.”

The motorcyclist was wearing a helmet, added Connelly, who said he did not have any further identifying information.

He said both the Lake County Sheriff’s Office and the Lakemoor Police Department responded to the scene. Lake County Sheriff’s dispatchers referred questions to the Lakemoor department, which did not immediately respond to calls for comment.

World’s Leading Brain Expert and Winner of the Prestigious Kennedy Award, Unveils Exciting News For the Scattered, Unfocused and Forgetful

By Steven Wuzubia Health Correspondent;

Dr. Shinitsky explains this phenomenon in simple terms; “Science has shown when your brain nutrient levels drop, you can start to experience memory problems and overall mental fatigue. Your ability to concentrate and stay focused becomes compromised.

And gradually, a “mental fog” sets in. It can damage every aspect of your life”. Not only do brain cells die but they become dysfunctional as if they begin to fade away as we age. This affects our ability to have mental clarity and focus and impacts our ability to remember things that were easy for us to do in our 20’s and 30’s.

Scientists think the biggest cause of brain deterioration in older people is the decreased functioning of membranes and molecules that surround the brain cells. These really are the transmitters that connect the tissues or the brain cells to one another that help us with our sharp memory, clear thinking and mental focus, even our powers to reason well. “When we are in our 20’s” according to Dr. Shinitzky “our body produces key substances like phosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acid”… unfortunately they are believed to be critical essential nutrients that just fade away with age, much like our memories often do leading to further mental deterioration.

As we get older it becomes more frustrating as there is little comfort when you forget names… misplace your keys…or just feel “a little confused”. And even though your foggy memory gets laughed off as just another “senior moment,” it’s not very funny when it keeps happening to you.

The Missing Link is Found and Tested It’s hard to pronounce that’s for sure, but it certainly appears from the astounding clinical research that this

• PS patients outperformed placebo patients in All 5 Tests - 100% Success Rate • After only 45 days there was a measurable improvement in mental function • After 90 days, there was an impressive and amazing improvement in mental function The group taking phosphatidylserine, not only enjoyed sharper memory, but listen to this… they were also more upbeat and remarkably more happy.

In contrast, the moods of the individuals who took the placebo (starch pill), remained unaffected….no mental or mood improvement at all.

Vital Nutrient Reverses Mental Fatigue This incredible PS nutrient feeds your brain the vital nutrient it needs to stay healthy... PS now has the attention of some of the world’s most prominent brain experts. It has been written up and published in leading science and medical journals and its findings have electrified the International scientific community.

Impressive Clincal Studies Prove it works!

Published, clinical reports show replenishing your body’s natural supply of Phosphatidylserine, not only helps sharpen your memory and concentration — but also helps “perk you up” and put you in a better mood. PS as it turns out also helps to reduce everyday stress and elevate your mood by lowering your body’s production of the hormone cortisol. When cortisol levels are too high for too long you experience fatigue, bad moods and weakness. This drug-free brain-boosting formula enters your bloodstream fast (in as little as thirty minutes).

Officially Reviewed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration: PS is the ONLY Health Supplement that has a “Qualified Health Claim for both Cognitive Dysfunction and Dementia”.

Reverse Memory Loss: Lipogen PS can reduce stress and reverse memory loss, improving focus and mental clarity.

My Memory Started to Scare Me. I would forget all kinds of things and something that I just said earlier in the day would have completely slipped my mind. I almost forgot my granddaughter’s birthday and that would have been horrible. I had forgotten lots of other little things along the way. I was worried about it.

Over the last several months I’ve noticed my memory seemed to be getting pretty unreliable and so I thought I’d better do something about it now. So when I read about this amazing PS nutrient and how much it would help me with my memory I wanted to try it.

It’s great! I have actual recall now, which is super.

After about 6 weeks of taking it on a daily basis is when I began to notice that I wasn’t forgetting things anymore.

Thanks to PS for giving me my memory back. It’s given me a lot more self-confidence and self-esteem. I would not trust my memory without it.

trip to McHenry County. Detectives also said Karavastev admitted during an interview that he knew he was transporting drugs and said this was not the first time he had done so.

Defense attorney Stephen Richards said his client did not know what was in his van and the detectives were conducting “bad police work” throughout the case. Richards also said the defendant was told he was carrying machinery in his truck in 2012.

Both he and his client contended that there was a language barrier because Karavastev speaks Bulgarian, but prosecutors maintained that the defendant understands English. Karavastev had a Bulgarian translator throughout the trial.

“You’ve got an intimate look at how bad police work makes bad cases,” Richards said.

Karavastev will be sentenced July 14 and faces a minimum of 12 years in prison. He has since been remanded to the McHenry County Jail by Judge Michael Feetterer while he awaits sentencing.

WOODSTOCK – Jurors found a California trucking company owner guilty of trafficking more than 70 pounds of marijuana across the country into McHenry County.

Michael Karavastev, 42, was traveling near Routes 31 and 14 on Dec. 3, 2012, when police stopped him and a McHenry County K-9 officer detected narcotics, authorities have said.

Michael The drugs that of- Karavastev ficers said they found were in cardboard boxes stored in a crate that had an odor eater device inside to diffuse the smell of the marijuana.

After about three hours of deliberation Wednesday, jurors found Karavastev guilty of marijuana trafficking, unlawful possession with intent to deliver marijuana and unlawful possession of marijuana.

Prosecutors, amid stacks of boxes

of marijuana in the courtroom, said Karavastev knowingly traveled with 33,000 grams of marijuana from Reno, Nevada, to Crystal Lake in 2012. The marijuana was valued at more than $600,000, prosecutors said.

“We’re all accountable for the choices we make,” Assistant State’s Attorney Randi Freese said in closing arguments. “We are here to hold him accountable.”

Prosecutors said a man in Reno paid Karavastev $8,000 to make the delivery to McHenry County. This amount was two times more than Karavastev typically charges, prosecutors said.

Freese said this case dealt with “major drug dealers” and so there was no way Karavastev didn’t know what was in his truck at the time of the delivery. She also recognized the odor coming from the boxes and asked the jury to imagine what it would have smelled like four years ago.

Detectives testified during the trial that they were working with a confidential informant who made the officers aware of Karavastev’s planned

Aniston told People magazine in a statement that Dow “passed peacefully surrounded by family and friends after enduring a long illness.”

Dow was a model who acted on television in the 1960s, including appearances on “The Beverly Hillbillies” and “The Wild Wild West.”

Aniston told The Hollywood Reporter last year that her relationship with her mother was strained at times, saying there were years when they didn’t talk.

She told the magazine that her mother was “very unforgiving” and held petty grudges.

Dow was married twice. His first husband was Jack Melick, the father of Aniston’s brother, John Melick. The second was Aniston’s father, soap opera star John Aniston. Both marriages ended in divorce.

Renowned Chinese writer Yang Jiang dies at age 104 The ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIJING – Renowned Chinese writer Yang Jiang, known for her prolific output and marriage to an equally famous author, died Wednesday at age 104, state media said.

Yang died at Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing, according to The Paper, a state-owned news website. It said her death had been confirmed by her publisher, the People’s Literature Publishing House.

Citing different sources, Hong Kong station Phoenix TV also confirmed Yang’s death, the cause of which was not given.

Born in 1911, Yang became a household name in China for her novels, plays, essays and translated works.

She was the first to translate “Don Quixote” into Chinese, and her version is still considered the definitive one by many.

Weibo on Wednesday, a testimony to her fame and the public adoration she enjoyed.

In a 1981 collection of essays, Yang wrote with a sense of poignancy on the daily lives of Chinese intellectuals during the chaos of the Cultural Revolution, when scholars and intellectuals were forced to perform hard labor.

Her 2003 essay collection “We Three,” about her family life with her late husband and their daughter, was a best-seller.

JACKSON, Miss. – The state judge who presided over the “Mississippi Burning” trial in 2005 has died.

Retired Mississippi Circuit Judge Marcus Gordon died Thursday at St. Dominic Hospital in Jackson, the state Administrative Office of the Courts said. He was 84. A cause of death was not immediately available.

A court spokeswoman said Gordon had been hospitalized after falling and breaking his hip in April.

Gordon sentenced Edgar Ray Killen to 60 years in prison after a mixed-race jury convicted the reputed former Ku Klux Klan leader of manslaughter in the 1964 kidnap-slaying of three civil rights workers in Neshoba County.

The revival of the cold case from the civil rights era marked the first time state prosecutors had brought charges in what the FBI called the “Mississippi Burning” investigation.

Killen was convicted on June 21,

Killen, 91, remains in prison.

“Each life has value. Each life is equally as valuable as the other life and I have taken that into consideration,” Gordon said. “The three lives should absolutely be respected and treated equally.”

During the sentencing, more than 25 armed law-enforcement officers stood against the walls of the 200seat, oak-paneled courtroom in the Neshoba County Courthouse, with Killen’s relatives on one side of the aisle and the victims’ families on the other.

Gordon died less than three months after retiring as the longest-serving state circuit judge in Mississippi, with 37 years on the bench.

“Judge Gordon served with distinction in many capacities throughout his long career,” Mississippi Supreme Court Chief Justice Bill Waller Jr. said in a statement Thursday. “He courageously presided over many very difficult cases, including the trial of Edgar Ray Killen.”

GOP, Democrats back talking after shouting Chicago school leaders and students, parents and community members from around the state rally Thursday in the rotunda at the state Capitol for fair education funding.

By IVAN MORENO

The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – A day after Republicans booed and yelled at Illinois House Democrats for passing their own budget without GOP input, leaders from both parties and the governor resumed talks Thursday on how to end an 11-month budget stalemate.

But negotiations remain tenuous, and lawmakers conclude their spring session Tuesday.

“The Democrat leaders now share our sense of urgency of bringing this impasse to a close,” Republican House Leader Jim Durkin said after the meeting in Gov. Bruce Rauner’s office.

Their comments came less than a day after House Democrats approved a nearly $40 billion budget within hours of its introduction Wednesday evening. The Republican governor already has threatened to veto it if it passes the Senate.

The spending plan that the House Democrats proposed includes money for schools in one single bill – unlike last year, when it was separated from the rest of the budget. Schools then were largely spared the consequences of the budget impasse because Rauner approved their funding.

Now, there’s anxiety from public

AP: 12 security fence breaches at 2 big airports in Chicago

CHICAGO – An Associated Press investigation has found that people climbed over or crashed cars through security fencing around Chicago’s two main airports more than authorities have disclosed.

In all, there were 12 intrusions from 2004 through mid-February at O’Hare or Midway.

Chicago’s Department of Aviation cited five breaches when AP first asked last year. Federal records revealed another four.

A department spokeswoman would not explain the discrepancy.

In all, there were four breach-

“It’s all getting very concerning.

And as a citizen and a taxpayer, I would expect that the legislative bodies would’ve done something not in the 11th hour to solve this,” said Jan McDermit, 48, who has two children at Chicago’s Hamilton Elementary and took part in a large rally Thursday at the Capitol urging lawmakers to pass a plan funding schools.

Illinois is the last state in the country still without a budget for the current fiscal year.

Chicago Schools CEO leads Springfield rally over funding

CHICAGO – The head of Chicago Public Schools said the district has “reached the point of no return” and faces severe cuts without “equal” funding from the state.

Schools CEO Forrest Claypool led hundreds of teachers, parents and students in a rally Thursday in Springfield seeking more state funds for Chicago’s schools. The district faces a $1

John Patterson, a spokesman for Democratic Senate President John Cullerton, described the meeting Thursday as positive.

“And the Senate president looks forward to continued cooperation,” he said.

Steve Brown, a spokesman for Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan, gave a more lukewarm assessment of the meeting. He said Madigan

Claypool said Wednesday that with only one week left in the state Legislature’s session, the district must “make a statement the governor cannot ignore.”

The Democratic-led Illinois House passed a budget for next year that includes money for public schools, so a full veto would jeopardize their ability to open this fall. The budget now heads to the Senate.

Gov. Bruce Rauner has indicated he will veto the bill if it passes.

Autopsy finds man found dead after shootout killed self

CHICAGO – An autopsy has determined a suburban Chicago man found dead in his home after a shootout with FBI agents committed suicide.

The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office said Wednesday that 50-year-old Melvin Toran

is “continuing to urge the governor and aides to be more persuasive on their efforts to pass the personal agenda” and that they should “avoid the temptation to hold Illinois hostage as a tool.”

Rauner said the Democrats’ latest plan is “not really helpful to anything because it’s not realistic, it’s not honest; there’s no way to pay for that spending level.”

His office has said the Democrats’ budget is $7 billion out of balance.

Democrats note that the budget Rauner proposed in February was also $4 billion short of expected revenue.

Rauner declined to say Thursday what he would do with the education portion of the budget. Instead, he said he is “cautiously optimistic” that lawmakers in several working groups can reach agreement on some of the pro-business, union-weakening proposals he wants as a condition to raising taxes.

The state is facing a $5 billion deficit and growing.

Democrats have shown no interest in considering Rauner’s ideas, which he said would improve the state’s economy. Instead, they repeatedly have called his plans an attack on the middle class.

Rauner and legislative leaders plan to meet again Friday.

shot himself in his mouth. Toran died after an FBI SWAT team descended on his Park Forest house Tuesday. The resulting gun battle left two agents wounded.

FBI spokesman Garrett Croon said the injured agents were released after being treated at hospitals.

The attempted arrest of Toran stemmed from a two-year investigation of drugs and firearms activity. Agents continued to gather evidence at the house Wednesday.

Authorities described Toran as a street gang member with a long criminal record that included murder at age 18, drug dealing, assaulting a police officer and weapons violations.

Study: Barges can pull small fish past electric barriers

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. – A federal study said small fish can be trapped in water currents

created by commercial barges and pulled through electric barriers designed to prevent invasive Asian carp from reaching the Great Lakes.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said tests show that fish swimming near barges can remain caught between them for substantial distances. In one trial, live fish were transported more than nine miles along the Illinois River. They went through a shipping lock and the barriers 37 miles from Lake Michigan at Chicago.

Researchers used golden shiners for the experiments.

They’re about the size of small Asian carp.

Fish and Wildlife official Charlie Wooley said Thursday the results are worrisome but there still is time to reduce the risk of the hungry, aggressive carp slipping past the electric barriers.

HORSE CAVE, Ky. – A group of college students trapped by flash flooding on a field trip to a Kentucky cave Thursday walked through neck-deep water to get to safety, authorities said.

The 19 people who escaped more than six hours after entering Hidden River Cave included students from Clemson University, four tour guides and two police officers who became trapped when they tried to rescue the group, police said.

There was no communication between the stranded cavers and the more than 150 emergency personnel at the scene.

The cavers became stranded in a portion of the cave known as “The Attic,” which has a higher ceiling, police said. They stayed there until deciding to find their way out as the water continued to rise, police said.

Trump sews up delegates to seal GOP nomination

By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER and JILL COLVIN The Associated Press

BISMARCK, N.D. – Triumphantly armed with a majority of his party’s delegates, Republican Donald Trump unleashed a broadside attack Thursday on Hillary Clinton’s prescriptions for energy, guns, the economy and international affairs, shifting abruptly toward the general election with his likely Democratic opponent locked in a divisive primary contest.

The New York billionaire shrugged off signs of discord within his own campaign hours after sewing up the number of delegates needed to clinch the GOP nomination, a feat that completed an unlikely rise that has upended the political landscape and set the stage for a bitter fall campaign.

“Here I am watching Hillary fight, and she can’t close the deal,” Trump crowed during an appearance in North Dakota. “We’ve had tremendous support from almost everybody.”

Trump’s good news was tempered by ongoing internal problems. Those include the sudden departure of his political director and continuing resistance by many Republican leaders, including House Speaker Paul Ryan and New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, to declaring their support for his outsider candidacy.

At the same time, Clinton faced fresh questions about her use of a private email server while secretary of state, even as she fought to pivot toward Trump, who she warned would take the country “backward on every issue and value we care about.”

The State Department’s inspector general released a report a day earlier concluding that Clinton did not seek legal approval for her private email server, guaranteeing the issue will continue nagging her campaign for a second summer. She insisted Thursday that she had done nothing wrong.

“It was allowed. And the rules have been clarified since I left about the practice. Having said that, I have said many times, it was a mistake. And, if I could go back, I would do it differently,” Clinton said, according to an interview transcript provided by ABC News.

Campaigning before union workers in Las Vegas, she decried Trump’s anti-union comments and his proposal to deport millions of immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally. She said he is an “unqualified loose cannon” who should never be president.

Complicating her election challenge, Clinton’s Democratic rival Bernie Sanders embraced the possibility of a one-on-one debate with Trump. The Republican said he’d “love to debate Bernie” as he faced reporters Thursday.

“The problem with debating Bernie,”

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump acknowledges the crowd Thursday after giving an energy speech at the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference in Bismarck, N.D. Trump noted, “he’s going to lose.”

Just 75 delegates short of her own delegate majority, Clinton remains on a path to clinch the Democratic presidential nomination, according to an Associated Press count. But Trump got there first.

The New York businessman sealed the majority by claiming a small number of the party’s unbound delegates who told the AP they would support him at the national convention in July. Among them was Oklahoma GOP chairwoman Pam Pollard.

“I think he has touched a part of our electorate that doesn’t like where our country is,” Pollard said. “I have no problem supporting Mr. Trump.”

It takes 1,237 delegates to win the Republican nomination. Trump has reached 1,239 and will easily pad his total in primary elections on June 7.

Many on the right have been slow to warm to Trump, wary of his conservative bona fides. Others worry about his crass personality and the lewd comments he’s made about women.

Trump said during a press conference Thursday that he would “absolutely” end his habit of attacking fellow Republicans now that the nomination is effectively his. But that truce appeared to be short-lived.

Speaking later at a rally in Billings, Montana, Trump said 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney, who has refused to endorse him, had “failed so badly.” His campaign also released a celebratory Instagram video that features a montage of former rivals, including Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz, saying he would never be the party’s nominee.

Many opt to take Social Security early

By ADAM ALLINGTON The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Taking Social Security benefits early comes with a price, yet more than 4 in 10 Americans who are 50 and older say they’ll dip into the program before reaching full retirement age.

An Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs research poll released Thursday found that 44 percent report Social Security will be their biggest source of income during their retirement years.

Full benefits begin at 65 or 66 for those born between 1943 and 1954.

Americans can begin collecting as early as age 62, but with benefits reduced by up to 30 percent, according to the Social Security Administration.

“One thing we know for certain is that claiming early can have longterm repercussions on your fiscal security as you age,” said Gary Koenig, vice president of Financial security at the AARP Public Policy Institute.

Koenig said benefits increase significantly for those who wait, rising around 8 percent more for each additional year past age 66 and up to 70,

“So we encourage people to delay as long as possible,” he said.

But waiting is a luxury many Americans don’t have.

Ken Chrzastek of Chicago began

drawing Social Security benefits at age 62 and pulled $50,000 out of an IRA after losing a retail job two years ago.

He has been unable to find even parttime work. “Hiring a 62-year-old is a liability for a company,” he said.

The poll found that Americans 50 and over have multiple sources of income for retirement but that Social Security is the most common by far.

Eighty-six percent say they have or will have Social Security income.

More than half had a retirement account such as a 401(k), 403(b), or an IRA. Slightly less had other savings.

About 43 percent had a traditional pension.

The average age at which people expect to start or have started collecting Social Security benefits is 64. Just 9 percent said they would wait until after they turned 70.

While the retirement age has been rising in recent years, particularly for women, the average American still retires relatively early, at age 64 for men and age 62 for women, according to the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College.

Charles Jeszeck, director of education, workforce and income security for the Government Accountability Office, said there is no one right answer to when people should take Social Security, especially since increases in life expectancy are not spread out evenly between the rich and poor, or between ethnic groups.

Origin of key Clinton emails from report are a mystery The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was supposed to have turned over all work-related emails to the State Department to be released to the public.

But an agency audit found at least three emails never seen before – including Clinton’s own explanation of why she wanted her emails kept private.

After 14 months of public scrutiny

and skepticism over Clinton’s motives in keeping her emails secret, new questions emerged Thursday. They centered on her apparent failure to turn over a November 2010 message in which she worried that her personal messages could become accessible to outsiders, along with two other messages a year later that divulged possible security weaknesses in the home email system she used while secretary of state.

The Clinton campaign has previ-

ously denied that her home server was breached, but newly revealed emails show an aide worried it could have been compromised.

The existence of these previously unreleased messages – which appear to have been found among electronic files of four former top Clinton State Department aides – renews concerns that Clinton was not completely forthcoming when she turned over a trove of 55,000 pages of work-related emails.

And it has drawn fresh criticism from

presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

On Thursday, Clinton said she had been forthcoming with her personal emails.

“I have provided all of my work-related emails, and I’ve asked that they be made public, and I think that demonstrates that I wanted to make sure that this information was part of the official records,” Clinton said, according to an interview transcript provided by ABC News.

CALL AHEAD FOR FASTER PICK-UP!! www.tommysredhots.com

By NICOLE WINFIELD The Associated Press

Footage provided by the Italian navy showed the steel-hulled smuggler ship rocked under the weight of its passengers and finally flipped, sending migrants into the water or clambering up the side.

The Italian navy vessel Bettica brought the survivors and five bodies ashore in Porto Empedocle, Sicily.

Red Cross workers took at least one migrant away in a stretcher, while rescue teams in white hazmat suits carried children down the plank to shore.

In other rescues, a Libyan navy spokesman said a total of 766 migrants were rescued by the Libyan coast guard on Thursday.

Col. Ayoub Gassim said they were found in two groups: one of 550 near the western coastal city of Sabratha and the second of 216 off Zwara.

He said two other capsized boats were found empty in waters between the two cities and only four bodies were retrieved, with the rest of those aboard feared dead. He said he had no other details, including how many migrants had been aboard the boats.

• Friday, May 27, 2016

ROME – More than 4,000 would-be refugees were rescued at sea Thursday in one of the busiest days of the Mediterranean migrant crisis, and at least 20 died trying to reach Europe as Libyan-based smugglers took advantage of calmer seas to send desperate migrants north.

The death toll was likely to grow far higher, however, as the Libyan coast guard also reported two overturned boats between the coastal cities of Sabratha and Zwara. Only four bodies were found, raising fears that the rest of those on board had perished.

Overall, the Italian coast guard said it had coordinated 22 separate rescue operations Thursday that saved more than 4,000 lives.

“That probably is a record,” said coast guard spokesman Cmdr. Cosimo Nicastro, noting that previous highs have been in the range of 5,000 to 6,000 over two days.

One 5-year-old boy got special treatment: He was airlifted from

his rescue vessel to the island of Lampedusa, suffering from hypothermia, Nicastro said.

At least one smugglers’ boat sank off Libya’s coast, and 20 bodies were spotted floating in the sea, said Navy Lt. Rino Gentile, a spokesman for the EU’s Mediterranean mission. Photos tweeted by the mission showed a bright blue dinghy submerged under the weight of migrants waving their arms in hope of rescue as an EU aircraft flew overhead.

None had a life jacket.

Two Italian coast guard ships and the Spanish frigate Reina Sofia responded to the scene. Nicastro said 96 people were rescued.

Barbara Molinario, spokeswoman for the U.N. refugee agency in Italy, said favorable weather conditions in May to October often encourage migrant crossings. She said that before the recent rescues, some 40,000 people had been rescued so far this year, compared to 47,500 during the same period in 2015.

Among those coming ashore Thursday in Sicily were the survivors of a dramatic capsizing a day earlier off Libya’s coast.

CEO says McDonald’s Pig supplier promises to is making adjustments investigate alleged abuses

By CANDICE CHOI

The Associated Press NEW YORK – McDonald’s, under intense pressure in a competitive industry, sought to reassure its shareholders Thursday that it is making changes to its food and service that customers want.

CEO Steve Easterbrook recounted adjustments he’s overseen since taking the job early last year, such as improving order accuracy, toasting buns longer to improve the taste of burgers and the launch of an all-day breakfast menu in the U.S. He also said the company is working on more convenient ways for customers to get food, whether with ordering kiosks or table service and delivery in select markets.

McDonald’s Corp. is “fundamentally changing perceptions,” he said at the annual meeting in Oak Brook.

His remarks come as the world’s biggest burger chain is fighting to revitalize its business after conceding that it failed to keep up with changing tastes and sales slumped. It’s not clear whether the efforts will pay off over the long term; but in April, the company reported its third straight quarter of sales growth for restaurants open at least 13 months in its flagship U.S. market. Globally, sales at established locations rose 6.2 percent in the first three months of the year.

Still, McDonald’s expects to shrink its U.S. store base of more than 14,000

stores this year, marking the second straight year of retrenchment after decades of expansion.

McDonald’s also is trying to improve its image as an employer amid a campaign by labor organizers for pay of $15 an hour and a union for fast-food workers. Demonstrators calling for higher pay again protested outside this year’s shareholder meeting.

The issue came up inside the meeting as well, when a shareholder asked whether the company would turn to kiosks and “automatic pancake machines” to replace workers if the government were to mandate a $15-anhour wage.

Easterbrook said the company would always have “an important human element” because it’s in the service business. He said the kiosks and other technology options are being embraced by customers, and aren’t intended as labor replacement.

“I don’t see it being a risk to job elimination,” he said.

In his remarks, Easterbrook also noted a tuition assistance program the company announced last year for workers.

As with past annual meetings, shareholders posed a mixed bag of questions and comments including whether the company could bring international menu items to U.S. restaurants, complaints about its new electronic menu boards and criticism over its marketing practices to children.

LINCOLN, Neb. – A national pork supplier promised Thursday to investigate abuse allegations at one of its Nebraska facilities after an animal rights group released an undercover video showing pigs with open wounds and other health problems.

The Animal Legal Defense Fund released the footage Wednesday and sent letters to the Nebraska and Illinois attorney general’s offices requesting a criminal investigation.

The facility is owned by The Maschhoffs, the largest family-owned pork production business in North America, which is based in Carlyle, Illinois.

The video allegedly shows pigs with maladies such as intestinal ruptures, large open wounds and baseball-sized cysts. At one point, a person is shown slamming a piglet’s head into the floor to try to kill it.

The group said its undercover investigator documented long stretches of time – up to three days – where pigs received no food, leading them to become agitated and hurt each other and themselves.

“Conscious consumers who are looking to support more responsible businesses are deceived by companies, such as The Maschhoffs, that misrepresent themselves with false idyllic words and images rather

than developing a better business model,” said Animal Legal Defense Fund Executive Director Stephen Wells.

The Maschhoffs said in a statement Thursday it will act immediately to address the allegations and will cooperate with any criminal investigation.

Hormel Foods, one of its largest customers, said it has suspended all sow operations at the plant and is sending auditors to see whether animal care requirements are being followed.

“As a family-owned, long-standing hog production company, we recognize our ethical obligation to provide for the well-being and human care of our animals as do our customers,” said Bradley Wolter, president of The Maschhoffs.

The Maschhoffs and the Animal Legal Defense Fund both declined to reveal the facility’s exact location.

A spokesman for The Maschhoffs said the company didn’t want to endanger employees at the plant, and an attorney for the Animal Legal Defense Fund said his group was concerned that its undercover investigator might be identified.

A spokeswoman for Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson said his staff will review the complaint to determine whether an investigation is warranted or whether it should be forwarded to others.

Safe driving this holiday weekend

Memorial Day – the unofficial start to summer – is almost here, and plenty of McHenry County residents are making plans for the long weekend.

For some, those For the record plans will certainly include driving.

Whether it’s a short Already this week, we’ve trip a town or two seen and reported on either a over, or leaving the fatal or near-fatal crash each state for an even day. The daily occurrence is warmer destination, alarming. tens of thousands will hit the road this weekend.

We want to urge you to exercise extra caution and be safe behind the wheel.

Already this week, we’ve seen and reported on either a fatal or near-fatal crash each day, plus several other crashes throughout McHenry County. The daily occurrence is alarming, especially with an expected major influx of people on the roads over the next three days. Add in the threat of severe weather, and things can get dangerous out there.

AAA projects more than 38 million Americans will travel this Memorial Day weekend.

That is the second-highest Memorial Day travel volume on record, according to AAA, and the most since 2005. AAA also estimates that about 70,000 more people will travel Memorial Day weekend this year compared to last. With the lowest gas prices for this weekend in 11 years, it’s not much of a surprise to see an increase in travel on the roads.

With so many more cars on the road, it’s even more imperative to make good decisions.

Don’t drive recklessly. Check your blind spots, especially for motorcycles. Put your phone away – no texting, talking or otherwise looking at your phone while driving. And never consider driving if intoxicated.

It may sound like the basics and we’re your parents reading the rules before you go have fun, but those things happen for a reason. We want you to enjoy the next weekend, too.

So by all means, please enjoy the first threeday weekend of the summer. But don’t put yourself in a position to make it the last one you can enjoy.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

FDA to set voluntary limits on salt When you eat too much salt – and you probably do – the problems mount pretty quickly.

First it gets into your blood and confuses your kidneys, leaving too much water flowing through your blood vessels, which raises your blood pressure and, eventually, your risk of cardiovascular disease – the world’s No. 1 killer. So everyone should just stop eating so much salt.

Putting down the shaker isn’t enough, though, because three-fourths of the salt in the American diet is in processed and prepared foods: breads, pastas, salad dressings, and countless other products. Reducing this kind of salt will require that government food regulators, after years of delay, finally set limits on sodium in food.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is expected to soon issue a draft of its first such limits. These will almost certainly be voluntary – not the most reliable approach, but food makers should

be made to understand that if sodium content doesn’t come down, the limits could be made mandatory. The best approach would be to gradually lower sodium targets until Americans on average are consuming no more than 2,300 milligrams a day.

That’s one teaspoon of salt. Nine in 10 Americans now consume more than that.

Voluntary sodium targets can make a difference: In Britain, deaths from heart disease and the incidence of high blood pressure have fallen substantially since limits were adopted in 2006.

Food companies already understand the need for limits.

Mars Food, which makes Uncle Ben’s rice, recently pledged to lower the average sodium content of its products by 20 percent over the next five years. Nestle, whose brands include Gerber and Lean Cuisine, says it has already reduced sodium content by 23 percent since 2005.

One reason for the FDA’s

delay has been a dispute over the benefit of cutting salt. There’s good evidence that eating a lot of salt raises blood pressure and that high blood pressure raises the risk of heart disease and stroke.

But critics, citing recent studies, have questioned whether low salt intake really lowers the risk of death from heart disease for everyone. However, many scientists say those newer studies haven’t measured sodium accurately.

Prominent labeling should be part of the FDA’s strategy, to help consumers choose foods carefully.

Gradual reductions in sodium also make sense from a commercial standpoint, because at this point people’s palates are accustomed to a lot of salt. Cut back quickly – as Campbell Soup tried several years ago – and consumers’ taste may not readily adjust.

Most Americans know that they eat too much salt. What they may not realize is that they need help to eat less of it.

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

Budget impasse puts safety nets for youth in jeopardy

To the Editor: When we think of public safety, we usually think of the dangerous and difficult work of police and prosecutors.

But law enforcement has many silent partners in stopping crime. Efforts like Teen REACH after-school programs get kids off the streets, home-visiting programs prevent child abuse and neglect, and community-based efforts like CCBYS and Redeploy Illinois intervene with runaways in crisis and youth who have already broken the law.

In my many years in law enforcement, I’ve rarely been so concerned for the short- and long-term safety of the Illinois public. A nearly 11-month budget impasse has severely, and perhaps irreparably, damaged our entire human services infrastructure. Key programs that police in every community rely on have been forced to lay off staff, reduce the number of children served, and far too many have closed their doors altogether.

It’s easy to overlook how closely our

VIEWS Scott Reeder landlord wants to lease to someone who leaves a mess or is loud and disruptive.

The sharing economy is not a new concept, but the Internet has put it into hyper-drive.

Back in the 1950s – before the creation of interstate highways – my grandparents took their first vacation from their home in Bushnell, Ill., to Colorado.

The pair, being frugal survivors of the Great Depression, watched for “room for rent” signposts in folks’ front yards along the U.S. 34.

Grandpa would stop and bargain with the homeowners for the cost of staying in a room that night.

Today, homeowners don’t have to post signs in their front yards to attract renters. Sites like Airbnb allow them to reach an international audience.

In my case, I needed to travel to Holly Springs, Miss., to do research for a book I’m writing on a long-ago murder case. So I looked on Airbnb

day-to-day safety is linked to programs that start kids on the right path in life and help them stay there. But as a law enforcement professional who has seen the consequences of letting our youth stray off course, I urge our state leaders to immediately reach an agreement on this and next year’s budgets and curtail the damage that’s been done.

Chief Russ Laine

for lodging available in the area. I ended up renting a tiny cabin on a lake in a remote wood.

The next two nights I spent in strangers’ spare bedrooms in Jackson, Miss., and New Orleans.

I determined each was a good place to stay by reading the reviews left by previous guests.

I put a whole lot more credence in these reviews than I would in any government regulation. After all, I’ve stayed in plenty of questionable motels over the years that somehow passed government inspection. I remember a “government-inspected” Chicago-area hotel where the carpet turned the soles of my feet black just walking from the shower to the bed.

But just as taxi drivers feel threatened by Uber – another business in the sharing economy – so too do motel owners by Airbnb.

Electronic applications like Uber and Airbnb empower ordinary people to use the resources they have, such as an extra bedroom or a car to provide services to the public, and earn an extra income.

I encountered a number of people like this as I made my way across the South.

For example, I stayed in a spare

bedroom in Jackson, Miss., where two cats periodically would visit my room.

I’m an animal lover and enjoyed the nocturnal visits – and was fully informed of their presence when booking online. And later in the week I stayed in an extra bedroom of a home owned by a journalist and her husband, who was completing his PhD in economics.

We had had a hardy conversation comparing our views of supply side vs. Keynesian economics. We didn’t see eye-to-eye.

But one thing we both agreed on is that the sharing economy is here to stay. He was getting extra income for his family by leasing an extra room, and I was getting a safe, clean place to stay in an interesting neighborhood.

That’s how the free market works, goods and services are shared for the benefit of everyone.

And that’s why it’s time for politicians to just butt out.

Invitation to a humbling Memorial Day ceremony

To the Editor: The Combined Veterans Posts of McHenry – American Legion Post 491, Polish Legion of American Veterans Post 188 and Veterans of Foreign War Post 4600 – invite the public to attend our Memorial Day service at 10 a.m. Monday at Veterans Park on Pearl Street in McHenry.

This year, the host post is the Polish Legion of American Veterans, who will preside over this humbling ceremony to honor those men and women who have

gone on to that post everlasting since last Memorial Day. Not just for veterans, this ceremony will display patriotism at its finest by those who have served our country.

Please consider giving your time to attend to see how the Combined Veterans Posts honor veterans in this very humbling service.

Our honorable mayor, Sue Low, and post commanders will be speaking and laying wreaths also. This year, our host post has included a special flyover to start our ceremony, weather permitting.

There also will be a luncheon at the VFW Post provided by the Combined Veter-

ans of McHenry, which is no charge for veterans and a donation in kind for all others beginning at noon.

Most important, this is a great opportunity for families to show their children what this great country is about on Memorial Day. It is an opportunity to meet some great veterans going back to World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and some smaller conflicts in between.

Now is the time to let our future citizens know how much veterans care.

Hope to see you there.

HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss. – Earlier this month, I went on a week-long business trip through Mississippi and Louisiana, but avoided staying in motels.

Instead I lodged in strangers’ spare bedrooms that I found on the Internet site Airbnb.com.

Airbnb is an example of the “sharing economy” and it just drives politicians nuts, because it is difficult for them to tax and regulate.

And some politicians live just to do those two things.

Especially, Illinois politicians.

For example, the Chicago City Council is considering regulations that would limit Airbnb rentals, require registration and licensing and impose a tax.

Oh please, give me a break.

This burgeoning activity doesn’t need to be stifled with more regulations and taxes.

After all, the best regulator of economic activity is the marketplace itself.

If an Airbnb landlord is a jerk or provides a not-so-tidy place to stay, folks will stop staying with that person because of the bad customer reviews that will inevitably be posted.

The same goes for bad tenants. No

PARENTING 10 ideas for vacation home theme nights If you’re renting a vacation house with extended family this summer and trying to figure out ways to bring a large group with different ages together, consider planning some fun theme nights. Here are 10 ideas.

1.

Beach Olympics: A flip-flop toss, water balloon toss and using a seashell to fill cups with water.

Winners get plastic gold, silver and bronze medals.

2.

Neon night: Decorate T-shirts with neon paint and bring glow necklaces and bracelets. A black light adds flair to a neon dance party.

3.

Pirate “pub” crawl: Hand out bandannas with a Jolly Roger pattern and souvenir cups. Turn each room of the house into a different “pub” serving kids’ beverages (bug juice made from Sprite and gummy worms) along with specialty cocktails for adults (prosecco poured over a Popsicle).

Vacation fun for all ages

Theme nights bring generations together during family trips

By NANCY NUSSBAUM The Associated Press

NORTH TOPSAIL BEACH, N.C. – Renting a house for a week or so with extended family or friends is an economical way to vacation while offering quality time with loved ones.

It’s easy to fill your days with swimming, hikes, shopping and dining out, but there also are ways to have fun at home with themed game nights, dinners and parties.

My husband’s family rents a beach house every other year or so along the North Carolina coast, and we always have several nights where teams cook dinner and plan games for the rest of the group.

We’ve had competitions such as beach Olympics, “Iron Chef America,” Wii bowling and a family-friendly pirate “pub crawl,” among many others. The prep can be as involved or as simple as you want. The goal is to pick a theme appealing to all ages.

Last summer we had a group of 19 people, ages 8 to 77, sharing one house. After the beach house and dates are chosen, teams are formed, with team members sworn to secrecy until their night arrives.

For a casino night, my sister-in-law designed money printed with the faces of several family members and everything we needed to play bingo, blackjack and roulette. We also bought decks of playing cards printed with a family vacation logo. A Vegas-style buffet of baked potatoes and burgers included options for those on gluten-free, vegetarian and lactose-intolerant diets.

One team changed it up a bit with a Sunday brunch: “Easel Like Sunday Morning.” It was a take on popular wine-and-canvas parties. We had stretched canvas panels, paint, felt berets and stick-on moustaches. Our challenge was to paint a beach scene, which also gave us a souvenir to take home.

Kristin Zerkle, 45, of Columbus, Ohio, said her family also tries to involve all ages. Her parents have been vacationing with their six children in Hilton Head, South Carolina, for about 35 years. The group now includes 25 extended family members sharing one house.

Faced with dining out with a dozen or so small children, at-home theme nights became a more appealing alternative.

Her family has had a luau, pirate night, Mexican fiesta and an Ohio State tailgate, where everyone would wear their Buckeye gear.

“As the kids have gotten older we have tried to make it a little more adult. We’ve really stepped up our game,” she said.

Her family last year marked her sister and brother-inlaw’s 25th anniversary with a wedding reception. They decorated with wedding bells and put inflatable swans and lanterns in the pool. An earlier neon-themed dance party included decorating T-shirts, glow necklaces and black lights.

Zerkle said involving everyone possible in the prep, planning and execution makes the theme nights a success.

“The kids want to know way ahead of time what the theme is going to be. It’s turned into something we talk about months in advance, and the kids love planning it,” she said.

4.

White wedding: Celebrate a special anniversary by having a “wedding reception,” dressing up the bride and groom and designating wedding attendants. Wedding decor and a wedding playlist will get everyone in the spirit.

5.

“Parched Games”: The grandchildren in our family came up with this take on the “Hunger Games” series. Follow a game of charades with a water balloon and squirt gun battle. At the sound of a whistle, get ready to shoot with a goal of capturing a hidden pirate flag without getting wet.

6.

Casino night: Games, a Vegas-style buffet and packs of playing cards printed with a family vacation logo as souvenirs.

7.

8.

9.

Luau: Pack a floral shirt, wear plastic flower garlands and play ukulele music.

Tailgate party: Dress in your favorite team’s colors and serve tailgate food.

“Iron Chef America”: Form teams and provide simple ingredients for a cook-off. The best dish wins.

10.

Wii bowling tournament. Bring your Wii to the beach house, give out T-shirts in team colors and serve bowling alley food such as pizza and nachos. Players with highest and lowest scores win trophies.

The Washington Post

F. Diane Barth, psychotherapist and psychoanalyst leave for college, even the sweetest most even-keeled mother can turn into a moody, sarcasm-spewing alien.

Nobody warned me about that, and that is one small piece of advice I would have appreciated.

Every day during that fateful summer before school – which I first experienced with my son, and with my daughter three years later – I braced myself, not knowing who was going to find their way to the kitchen that morning: the loving child or a sulky teenager. My friends who also were the parents of new high school graduates reassured me I had company in my misery, as their kids also pounded down the stairs hurrying off to meet friends, or slammed the doors shut to their bedrooms in the evenings, cutting off any conversation. All mixed up in my feelings of love and loss and confusion was relief move-in day was near. I was shocked by their behavior and my not-so-stellar reaction to it, but it’s actually a normal one, according to F. Diane Barth, a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst.

“Much of this storm of unpleasantness is your adolescent’s way of managing her or his own conflicting feelings about leaving the security of home,” Barth said. “Although they may be excited, they are also frightened and anxious, and unsure on how to manage this odd and confusing mix of feelings.”

She explains although your child “may know that he is worried about being homesick, it is more likely that he simply feels irritable and eager to get away.”

Now that made sense. When my son bickered with me, or my daughter pushed me away, it was making it easier for them to fly their cozy nest.

That thought helped me get through

the rest of the summer until they left for school one early August morning.

Here are a few tips on how to slow down the emotional merry-go-round, because as psychologist Vijai P. Sharma said, the first year of college does not “just involve going away to college, it is also about leaving home.”

• Schedule fun time: Try to schedule some fun activities the whole family can enjoy, such as traveling to a nearby town, having a picnic on the beach or one-on-one time with your child doing something they love, whether it’s hiking, museum hopping or just enjoying a movie night. Keep in mind that like your little bird leaving the nest, the summer is going to fly by quicker than you can ask, “Where are the freshman dorms?”

• Allow friends first: Allow your children plenty of time to be with friends.

After all, they will be leaving them behind, at least temporarily, and may feel sad and concerned they may drift apart while apart. They may not want to share their fears with you, but probably will be comfortable commiserating with their compatriots who are starting off on their own adventures.

• When he’s fishing for a fight, don’t take the bait: Arguments will flare up,

but as hard as that may be, you need to bite your tongue so it doesn’t turn into a bloody battle. One way to deal with it is to be firm and maintain boundaries. Let your child know he or she can voice opinions and even be slightly obnoxious, but you draw the line at cruel, name-calling, insulting behavior.

• Shop till you drop – together: I can attest one of the best bonding experiences of the summer will be shopping with your child for the dorm. Listen to your children and take in their

preferences, without censure. Our son, initially, had little interest in shopping with me, but agreed to pick out his own bedding and towels, and even managed to source a few cool items. When it came time to set up his sister for college, we shared a very different experience. She’d been decorating her fantasy dorm room ever since her big brother had started prepping for the SAT. We spent hours looking at catalogs and even more time traversing the malls together.

She ended up buying floral bedding, extra fluffy purple pillows and coordinating desk accessories.

• Have a plan for the big day: Sit down with your children and plan the move-in day together so everyone knows what to expect. Cover every detail, including your exit time (both my kids felt it was best we leave after the afternoon orientation and before the dorm floor meeting). Offer to help pack, but try to keep them from packing up their entire closet, and be ready to give space if they need or request it. Also, sneak a little surprise into their suitcase – a favorite sweet treat or a framed photo from home.

And when that long-awaited and dreaded day finally arrives on your calendar, you’ll want to be on your A-game – prepared, rested and ready to go with the flow. Stay organized, have snacks and bring tissues. Resolve to hold it together so you can be there for your kid.

One more tip: Leave the dormroom door open when unpacking so he can meet his neighbors. That’s also how you can meet the other parents.

And did I mention knowing when it’s time to leave?

If you’re worried your precious child will never want to come home to visit you again, put that thought out of your head. Most of them come home to roost again after graduating, if only for a short time, like my son, who is attending law school in our hometown. Who knows? Maybe he came back because I knew when to leave on move-in day.

When my oldest child was applying to college, I asked him to pick a school in a big city with warm weather, because I planned on going with him.

I meant it as a joke.

I think he took me seriously, though, because he chose a school in a small town, in the middle of nowhere, far away from me and his suburban upbringing in California. And at the time, there was neither a Starbucks nor a J. Crew in sight in Hanover, New Hampshire – which he and I both knew meant that I wouldn’t be either, except for visits.

He received notice of an early decision acceptance the second week of December, before school broke for the holidays, and after it came, I didn’t have a clue what to do. The only thing I knew was at some point during the summer, my son and I would be making a pilgrimage to Bed Bath & Beyond to stock up for his new life out of the nest.

As I made shopping plans, every mom, sister and friend of college kids couldn’t wait to chime in with their hard-earned advice. I trusted them, as they’d already spent time in the watching-their-kids-walk-away trenches. They told me to be sure he knew how to do the laundry and make his bed, because nobody was going to do it for him. They also said space was tight in the dorms and urged me to buy him extra-long sheets, ultra-slim hangers and plastic storage bins for under his bed.

They reminded me to book a hotel for parent’s weekend (almost a year away) and nonstop flights for my son to come home for Thanksgiving.

I was excited for my boy’s new adventure but filled with sadness at the thought of letting him go. I knew I would miss the day-to-day mundane parenting stuff – the bickering, the nagging, even the dirty dishes left beside the sink.

Wise friends told me to relax, that this is the way it’s supposed to be.

I wanted to believe them, but I had a hard time quelling my anxiety.

Anxiety that was compounded by the frustration I also was feeling. Apparently, the summer before children

“Much of this storm of unpleasantness is your adolescent’s way of managing her or his own conflicting feelings about leaving the security of home. Although they may be excited, they are also frightened and anxious, and unsure on how to manage this odd and confusing mix of feelings.”

LOS ANGELES – Johnny Depp has asked a court to determine that he should not pay spousal support to his estranged wife, Amber Heard, who filed for divorce after 15 months of marriage.

Court records show Depp filed the response Wednesday to Heard’s divorce petition.

His response also requests that Heard, also an actor, pay her own attorney fees. It does not list a date of separation.

Heard filed for divorce on Monday and stated the couple separated the day before. Both actors cited irreconcilable differences for the breakup.

Police seek gunman in shooting at T.I. concert

British actors Sir Ian McKellen (left) and Sir Anthony Hopkins perform in the TV drama “The Dresser” in this undated image made available by Starz.

Anthony Hopkins overcomes his stage fright in ‘The Dresser’ LONDON – He’s a much-lauded Academy Award-winning performer, and his Hannibal Lecter is one of the all-time great movie villains.

But as he reflected on playing a fading stage star in TV movie “The Dresser,” Anthony Hopkins said: “I wasn’t cut out to be an actor.”

“I wanted to be a musician, but I drifted into this business by mistake,” Hopkins told The Associated Press. “I’m still looking over my shoulder thinking somebody will say, ‘Sorry, Tony, you’re in the wrong business.’ ” The business has no such doubts.

Hopkins gained Oscar nominations for playing the eponymous president in “Nixon,” John Quincy Adams in slavery drama “Amistad” and the loyal butler Stevens in “The Remains of the Day.” He won a best-actor Oscar in 1991 for cannibalistic serial killer Lecter in “The Silence of the Lambs.”

In “The Dresser” – airing Monday in the U.S. on Starz – the 78-yearold Welsh actor plays Sir, a cranky, creaky old thespian mounting a

threadbare wartime production of “King Lear” and battling the infirmities of age. Ian McKellen co-stars as Norman, his devoted dresser, in a juicy display of skill by two British acting aristocrats (both men have been knighted by Queen Elizabeth II).

Adapted from Ronald Harwood’s play, “The Dresser” is a bittersweet ode to the theater, with its feuds, camaraderie and magical stage transformations.

Hopkins has no such fond memories of his own early experiences in the fabled National Theatre company of Laurence Olivier.

“I found it absolute purgatory,” he said. “All those endless tours as a walk-on, running on in wrinkled tights to Olivier’s Othello.

“I’m not a good team player. I’m a bit wild and a bit crazy. I just want to break out and do something else, and I just couldn’t take the routine of it. Wet Wednesday afternoons in the Waterloo Road – I just thought, ‘God, what a depressing life.’ ”

NEW YORK – Police searched Thursday for a man captured on surveillance footage firing a gun in a packed hip-hop concert where artist T.I. was set to perform. Four people were shot, one of them fatally.

A fistfight that started on an upper floor of Manhattan’s Irving Plaza concert hall spilled into a second-floor balcony VIP area where shots rang out Wednesday night, police said.

The shooting occurred shortly after rapper Maino entered the VIP area following a performance onstage with artist Uncle Murda, although investigators don’t know whether the rappers played any role in the shooting, Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce told reporters outside the concert hall.

Video and witness statements showed “fisticuffs broke out and then gunplay thereafter,” for roughly five minutes, he said.

Transcript: Actor wanted to wound wife, not kill her LOS ANGELES – An actor who played a police officer on television said he wanted to hurt his wife and only intended to shoot her in the leg in what turned out to be a deadly attack, according to a transcript of his interview with detectives released Thursday during his murder trial.

Michael Jace, who appeared on the tele-

vision series “The Shield,” also told police he didn’t know his wife was dead when he spoke to detectives after the shooting, the transcript shows.

Jace said he had planned to kill himself with a revolver that belonged to his wife’s father but didn’t have the courage and instead wanted to harm his wife.

“I was just angry,” Jace told investigators.

“All I intended to do was shoot her in the leg. And then I shot her in the leg and that was it.”

Evidence, however, shows she was shot three times – once in the back and twice in the legs.

Tony presenters include Oprah, Cate Blanchett

NEW YORK – James Corden will have some big names helping him hand out Tony Awards: Oprah Winfrey, Cate Blanchett, Carole King, Audra McDonald, Saoirse Ronan, Patina Miller and Nathan Lane have signed up to help present.

Corden, a Tony-winner and the host of CBS’ “The Late Late Show,” will make his debut as the emcee June 12 at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. It will be televised on CBS. Comedy god Steve Martin and Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Edie Brickell also will help present. The pair is up for a Tony as the writers of the musical “Bright Star,” a complex love story set against the American South.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff between the ages of 9 and 11.

• Screening for drug and alcohol abuse.

As we all know, adolescents commonly experiment with drugs and alcohol. For some youth, this can lead to difficult or even deadly consequences. The AAP recommends asking six simple questions that can bring out important information – and allow for important conversations.

• Depression screening. Suicide is a leading cause of death among adolescents, and depression is a treatable condition. But to treat it, we need to know that it’s there.

Some simple questions can bring out the possibility that a teen may be suffering from depression.

• HIV testing between the ages of 16 and 18.

One in four new HIV infections occurs in youth ages 13 to 24 – and 60 percent of all youth with HIV don’t know they are infected. If they don’t know, not only can they not get help, but they can spread the infection to others.

I can imagine some parents saying, “My child doesn’t need these tests.” But when it comes to the health and well-being of our children, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. Sometimes, the best way to protect everyone is to treat everyone the same.

When I go through the TSA line at the airport, part of me is annoyed: I know I’m not a terrorist. But I’m glad everyone goes through the line.

Dear Dr. K: A friend of mine just took her teenager to the doctor for a checkup. The girl’s cholesterol was checked, and she was tested for HIV. What’s going on? Will my teenage daughter’s pediatrician do the same?

Dear Reader: The yearly checkup is the perfect time for a doctor to see how kids are growing and give any needed shots.

But it’s also an important time to see how they are doing more generally, and to help ensure they grow into healthy, happy adults.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has a checklist for pediatricians called “Recommendations for Preventive Pediatric Health Care.” These recommendations, which are updated every few years, are based on the most up-to-date research about the health of children now – and in the future.

I spoke to my colleague Claire McCarthy, a pediatrician at Boston Children’s Hospital. She mentioned most of the changes in the latest version of the AAP recommendations pertain to adolescents.

Here’s what the AAP thinks pediatricians should be doing with their preteen and teen patients: • Lipid screening. High cholesterol (particularly LDL cholesterol) and high triglycerides (another type of fat, or lipid) can damage blood vessels over time and lead to heart disease and stroke. It’s true heart disease from atherosclerosis (cholesterol-filled plaques) usually doesn’t become apparent until after age 50 or older. However, atherosclerosis actually starts forming in our arteries during our 20s. And it’s more likely to form in teens with high blood levels of LDL cholesterol.

For that reason, the AAP now recommends all youth have their cholesterol checked

year at our home. She was 97. We cleaned the carpets and repainted the room, removed the hospital bed and replaced it with a new one We recently asked some friends to stay overnight at our house, and they called back to ask if they would be staying in the room Mama had died in. We have a second guest room, although it’s smaller and so is the bed (full, not a queen).

They seemed hesitant.

After the call I found myself feeling offended.

I keep thinking that if the shoe was on the other foot, would they shut down a room of their home if someone had died there? We have had other houseguests who didn’t mind staying in the room. These people are supposed to arrive soon. Should we arrange for them to stay at a hotel? – Feeling Offended Dear Feeling: Please don’t take their reaction as a personal insult. Many people are squeamish about staying in a room in which someone has died. I see no reason to banish these people to a hotel during their visit. Call them back, offer them the smaller guest room and enjoy their visit.

DEAR ABBY Americans are at their best Jeanne when they unite Phillips around a noble purpose. On Memorial Day, that purpose is the National Moment of Remembrance. On that day, all Americans are asked to pause wherever they are at 3 p.m. local time to honor our fallen.

In 1971, No Greater Love, a patriotic organization, was founded by a woman named Carmella LaSpada. It initiated the National Moment of Remembrance in 1997, which later was established by Congress in 2000. The Moment is observed by thousands of Americans at Major League Baseball games across the country.

For more than 40 years, the AFL-CIO, North American trade unions, ironworkers, sheet metal, air, rail and transportation workers along with No Greater Love have honored our fallen, our troops, our veterans and their families. Our union members are proud to support the National Moment of Remembrance.

As one nation under God, we should join together to honor those who died for our freedom – each one an American treasure. – Eric Dean,

CRYSTAL LAKE ESTATE SALE Samuel Lover, an Anglo-Irish novelist, songwriter and painter who died in 1868, said, “Circumstances are the rulers of the weak; they are but the instruments of the wise.”

That is so true. In today’s deal, a wise declarer can benefit from applying perhaps the only bridge “rule” that always works.

What is the rule, and why might South not capitalize on it? He is in four spades, and West leads a fourth-highest diamond seven. As a secondary issue, what were West’s more successful opening leads?

First, South sees five potential losers: two diamonds and three clubs. He has only eight winners: five spades and three hearts. So, he needs either one trick in each minor (West has the club ace) or two diamonds.

Many declarers, knowing that West would not be underleading (leading away from) the diamond ace against a suit contract, will immediately play dummy’s jack. Here, though, after East takes the trick with his ace, he can return any card but a club to defeat the contract.

Assuming West’s lead is fourth-highest, the Rule of Eleven must work. Yes, it is much more commonly used in no-trump contracts, but it applies in suits as well. Seven from 11 is four. Since South can see three diamonds higher than the seven (dummy’s king-jack and his nine), he knows East has only one diamond higher than the seven, which must be the ace. So declarer should play dummy’s three at trick one. Then he can get two diamond tricks to make his contract.

At double dummy, West had only two losing opening leads: his low diamonds.

FVC Valley rivals CL South, Huntley advance to title match

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com STREAMWOOD – After getting a red card for arguing with referees in last week’s regional championship, Huntley coach Kris Grabner had to miss Thursday’s Class 3A Streamwood Sectional semifinal, but he had a message for his players.

“He told us we just want to live another day, we’ve got to work hard and we just wanted to come out here and win for him since he couldn’t be here, and that’s what we did,” senior captain Taryn Jakubowski said.

The Red Raiders’ reward is a date with a Crystal Lake South team that beat them in the regular season and is motivated to make school history.

The Gators beat Harlem, 2-0, in the first semifinal before Huntley beat South Elgin, 2-1, to set up a Fox Valley Conference Valley Division rematch in the sectional final, scheduled for 3 p.m.

Saturday at Streamwood.

The conference-champion Gators won the regular-season meeting, 3-1, April 29 at Huntley.

“Yeah, of course you’re excited to play someone that beat you on your own turf, so it’s a little redemption,” Jakubowski said. “It’s going to be a good game, so I’m excited.”

When asked whether they would prefer to see a potential rematch with Huntley, South coach Jay Mueller said,

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

“It’s been fun, but it’s a role I’m not used to. My voice is hurting right now,” Huntley assistant coach Matt Lewandowski said after filling in for head coach Kris Grabner.

“I don’t think you ever want to see Huntley, because you always know they’re going to be a quality team and they’re going to play a tough game. Certainly getting a victory in the first one would help with our confidence going into it, I think.”

On Thursday, 24 hours after lightning had prevented his team from playing as originally scheduled, Mueller thought the Gators (16-5-1) returned to Streamwood a little jittery.

“Yesterday, they seemed so loose and ready to go, but that might have been because they didn’t actually expect to ac-

“Today, they were quiet and a lot more tense leading up to the game, and I think that showed a little in the first half. We weren’t possessing as well as we could have.”

That changed once they took a lead in the 14th minute. Jenna Ross’ long throw into the box found its way to Sam Sisto, who finished to put the Gators ahead.

“I think someone got a piece of it and I just happened to be there, so yeah, right place right time,” Sisto said.

One minute into the second half, Katherine Siavelis scored to give the Gators a 2-0 lead that would hold up and give them a chance to win the program’s first sectional title.

“They know this is the first year they’ve ever won conference and a regional in the same season at our school,” Mueller said. “They know that we’ve never had a sectional championship team before, so we’ll see if that works for or against us when we come out in the next one.”

In the second game, Jakubowski provided both goals for Huntley (20-3-2).

She opened the scoring in the 16th minute, dribbling at the Storm defense until she was fouled about 25 yards from goal, dead center, perfect position to line up a free kick. Jakubowski went low and around the wall, beating South Elgin’s diving keeper to the left post.

“I saw a little gap that the keeper had, so I just hit it on the ground and it went in. ... I’ve been hitting them over lately, so I wanted to be able to make sure I got it on frame and gave us a chance,” Jakubowski said.

The celebration was short-lived, as South Elgin’s Sydney Shephard scored less than a minute later to tie the score, 1-1, in the 17th minute.

“It’s the double edge of scoring a goal. You kind of leave yourself vulnerable right after,” said Huntley assistant coach Matt Lewandowski, who filled in for Grabner.

Each team came close to breaking the deadlock, but it wasn’t until the final seven minutes when Jakubowski’s second of the game gave Huntley the lead for good. Brenna Keegan’s initial shot was stopped, but Jakubowski was on the spot to head in the rebound.

“She showed you both ends of the spectrum,” Lewandowski said. “Scored the skill goal with that free kick – I don’t know how she gets it through the wall there, she picks her spot, hits it, goal – and then at second end she picks up the trash and gets the garbage goal, finishes it off and takes care of business.”

Coach could see talent level rise with each season

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com When Karl Smith began coaching the Marian Central girls soccer team four years ago, he heard there was a strong eighth-grade class coming in.

The next year another – this time more unexpectedly – good class joined the program. That growing talent pool, plus the enthusiam and out-of-season work he heard about, told Smith they were ready for something special.

“I think, more than anything, we all as a staff kind of looked and said, ‘The future is pretty bright for this program,’ ” Smith said. “I think we knew that last year I felt like we could start knocking on the door. I thought that we could get through the regional, but we didn’t play well, we were still young and inexperienced, we had some key injuries. ...

I didn’t leave the season being disappointed, it was more optimism. We left last season kind of being, ‘You know what? Next year you’re going to hear from us.’ ” The Hurricanes dropped down to Class 1A, and the class has heard from them, winning regional and sectional titles, and advancing to the state semifinals for the second time in school history.

On Friday, the Hurricanes (13-52) face Williamsville (22-3) at 7 p.m. at North Central College in Naperville.

“It’s definitely going to be a different stage,” Smith said. “I fully expect there’s going to be some nerves and things like that, but one of the things I’ll talk to them about is once you strip the stadium away and strip the crowd away, it’s going to be you between the lines. It’s just going to be you and the other team.”

The winner will face either Wheaton Academy or Ottawa Marquette in the state title match at 5 p.m. Saturday. The third-place match is at 3 p.m.

“We’re not nervous, just excited for this opportunity,” sophomore defender Alyssa Sutherland said. “We want to go and prove ourselves and just hopefully win.”

Smith said the Hurricanes don’t know much about their opponent and are just focusing on being prepared with a plan for any situation that arises.

“You know what, at this point there’s

Loser plays in third-place game (3 p.m. Saturday). not a lot you can do in terms of scouting or anything like that. Both schools are so far apart,” Smith said. “Really, the only tool you have is internet, and to be honest, when you compare scores and things like that, it’s really tough to gauge. They have a couple girls that have stats similar to what we saw with Rockford Christian, so of course we have to key on those two players.

“But other than that, I think more than anything the four teams that are left are going to be very good, and we’ve got to prepare not only for ourselves to make sure we play well, but we’ve got to prepare for a lot of different adjustments.”

Williamsville’s offense has revolved around two players, Farah Abu-Tayeh and Marah Abu-Tayeh. Marah has scored 64 goals and assisted on 18, while Abu-Tayeh has scored 26 and assisted on 23.

The Bullets, as have the Hurricanes, have won most of their postseason games by wide margins. The Bullets have scored at least three goals in each match, netting 30 goals in five postseason matches and conceding 10.

The Hurricanes have scored 24 goals in postseason play, led by the duo of Erika Dacanay (11 goals, 11 assists this year)

and Karlie Blaz (13 goals, eight assists this year). The Fortin sisters, Kailin and Addison, also have been important pieces with nine points apiece this season.

The defense, including senior Makala Villont and senior goalkeeper Kersten Green, along with standout sophomores Sutherland and Tiffany Teubert among others, has given up only four goals in the postseason. The only time they gave up more than one goal in a match was to Johnsburg in the regional final, and the other two came late in sectional and supersectional matches where the Hurricanes already held multiiple-goal leads.

The Hurricanes have not lost since May 4, winning their past seven matches. Sutherland said the string of victories has given them “momentum and excitement.”

Smith said over the past month they’ve found their best lineups and figured out how to play best together.

“I think that we got to a point where we settled on our personnel in terms of how we’re going to start a game, how our sub patterns were going to work, we didn’t have any injuries where we would have to adjust our formation or personnel or anything like that,” Smith said. “So we got to a point right before the playoffs where we could kind of focus on how we want to play, how we want to shape up, and then those relationships between players and groups of players became a lot more comfortable.”

The only other Marian Central team to reach state – the 2010-11 team – reached the Class 2A title game before losing to Troy Triad, 2-1.

This group, which has taken to singing “Livin’ on a Prayer” after advancing, is hoping it can take it one step further.

He rose to the challenge, beating St. Charles East’s Alex Winters, 6-2, 6-4, and Springfield’s Shaul Latif, 6-2, 6-3.

“There’s just so many good players here,” Dzurisin said. “It’s definitely a great experience, especially since I’m going to be going off to play in college.

SOFTBALL: CLASS 3A MARENGO REGIONAL

Marengo makes it 10 regional titles in a row

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com MARENGO – Marengo softball coach Dwain Nance hasn’t been on the losing end of a regional playoff game since taking over in 2007, but the coach of nineplus years swears it’s not as easy as it looks.

“I think every year it gets harder,” Nance said. “It’s easy to get to the top; it’s harder to stay up there.”

Powered by three extra-base hits in the first inning Thursday, the Indians continued a decade of dominance with a 13-3, five-inning win over Richmond-Burton in a Class 3A Marengo Regional final, extending the team’s regional championship streak to 10 seasons.

Marengo has captured 11 regional titles in the past 12 years, eliminating the Rockets in the regional final in each of the past three seasons.

“It’s really hard, because we’ve been playing a lot of the same teams three times (this season),” said junior shortstop Leah Secor, a three-year varsity player. “This win is big for us. It’s just really nice to keep the streak going, and following up the teams each year. Coming back out here, and putting it all on the field.”

“I think we just wanted to keep our regional championship streak going, and we all knew what was at stake,” Anthony said. “We just knew not to let up and to just keep going.”

After every Marengo starter had an at-bat in the first inning, the Indians (288) sent 12 to the plate in the second. All nine starters reached base, as Marengo scored eight runs on six hits.

Anthony, Ritter and Amber Proberts each drove in a run in the second, and Connell added a two-run double to extend Marengo’s lead to 13-0.

Secor finished 2 for 3 with three runs and one RBI, Anna Walsweer scored twice, Allison Jasinski had a run and an

Mariah Dionne started for Marengo, going all five innings and improving to 19-6. She allowed one earned run on six hits with four strikeouts and no walks.

The Indians will face the winner of Saturday’s Sycamore Regional final between Burlington Central and Freeport in a Genoa-Kingston Sectional semifinal on Tuesday. Marengo won a sectional title last year, going all the way to state and finishing runner-up.

“As we move on, I just kind of remember last year and how we came into sectionals so confident,” Dionne said. “I just feel like that confidence has to roll over, especially the playoffs. You can’t have your heads down at any point, because the other team will take advantage of you.”

Haylie Regnier finished 2 for 3 with a run, Schwegel added a sacrifice fly, and Alex Hilton had an RBI groundout for R-B (16-16). Abby Hayden and Hailey Hildebrandt each had a hit and a run.

“We’re a young team,” Rockets coach Stephanie Hutchinson said. “Watching them from Day 1 to the end of the season, they grew as a team. A lot of them are more confident. They had a great season, and I have no complaints about anything they’ve done.”

“It’s a blessing having [Quinnett],” Kevin said. “He knows what he’s talking about. He’ll do whatever it takes to get us better. He’s so dedicated to the sport and does whatever it takes to help us out. I really appreciate that.”

Szamlewski hopes he can fight

through a sore left hamstring and earn his medal. He is one of five area vaulters competing in Class 3A, along with Crystal Lake Central’s Brandon Dahl, Crystal Lake South’s Sam Peschke and Huntley’s Jacob Riese and Rafael Rivera. Dahl took ninth in Class 3A last year.

“It’s kind of unfortunate what’s happened to me. I’m not going to let it hold me back,” Szamlewski said. “If I jump on it Friday and Saturday, it might feel a little bit worse afterward, but I have all summer to heal for it. I just want to do what I can.”

Szamlewski wants to qualify Friday, then move onto a bigger pole, either one rated at 14-6, 175 pounds or 15-0, 170 for Saturday’s finals. It was the 14-6, 175 pole on which he reached his career best of 15-1 this season.

Quinnett, a 1976 Rolling Meadows graduate, walked on to vault at EIU. Quinnett gave credit to Dave D’Angelo, who took over as Warriors boys track and field coach around 2006, for emphasizing the pole vault more. The pole vault, Quinnett says, is expensive for a relatively low number of athletes it serves.

McHenry did fundraising for the track program to help fund the pole vault and has been a local power in that event. Crystal Lake Central, which has earned six state medals in boys and girls pole vault since 2009, has been the

area’s other best vaulting school.

“I just know a lot about it from having done it before,” Quinnett said.

“In this event, it’s a technique event.

A lot of coaches don’t have that kind of knowledge. It’s also knowing what vaulters go through. You’re asking a kid to take this 141/2-foot pole and run down there and fling yourself into the air.”

Quinnett realizes vaulting is not for some.

“Pole vaulters are a strange breed,” Quinnett said. “They have to be a little bit crazy and be athletic. I’ve had a lot of kids who could have been good, but they don’t want to take chances.”

Quinnett thinks Szamlewski, even battling a sore leg, can be successful this weekend.

“He has as good a shot as anybody,” Quinnett said. “I’m hoping he places in top six. If he puts it together, who knows what’ll happen? It’s a funny sport because you just don’t know. That event, there’s a lot of things that come into play.”

Szamlewski shortened his approach in the sectional meet and hopes treatments from McHenry’s trainer this week will help make the hamstring less sore.

“I don’t think it will hold me back,” Szamlewski said. “I’m just going to have to have the mindset that I’m going to do whatever it takes.”

By TIM SIECK

sports@nwherald.com HAMPSHIRE – Early in Thursday’s softball game between Hampshire and Marian Central, it appeared the Hurricanes’ offense was going to be in for a big day.

Marian Central’s first three batters reached in the first inning and scored two early runs. Whip-Purs pitcher Jasmine Lopez was able to pitch out of the early jam, and the confidence for the young sophomore seemed to be building.

“One thing we did today was challenge Jasmine to get ahead in the count, and she didn’t do that in the first inning and paid for it,” Hampshire coach Kelly Wasilewski said. “Marian Central is a really good hitting team, and it was really important not to fall behind in the count.”

Hampshire will play for its first regional title since 2008 when it faces Johnsburg at 11 a.m. Saturday.

Marian (11-14) had so many chances early Thursday and struggled to get that big hit when it needed it most. The Hurricanes left five runners on in the first two innings, nine for the game, and each inning Lopez got more comfortable in the circle and started to get ahead in the

count as the game progressed.

“I got behind, especially early, but my defense really picked me up when I needed it most,” Lopez said. “The defense was really good today, and I tried to pitch to contact because I knew they had my back and would make the plays.”

Offensively, the entire roster contributed for Hampshire (18-16), led by Morgan Haefling and Joslyn Nelson, with two hits each. All nine starters finished with at least one hit, and anytime Marian scored, the Whip-Purs had an answer.

Clinging to a one-run lead in the seventh, Hampshire erupted for four runs, highlighted by two-run singles by freshmen Haefling and Sarah Bowen to put the game out of reach.

“Getting a big hit like that gave me so much confidence,” Haefling said. “Playing for a regional title as a freshman means a lot and makes me excited for the next three years.”

6 SOFTBALL: CLASS 4A DUNDEE-CROWN REGIONAL

CLS overcomes Grant, raccoon

By CHRIS CASEY

sports@nwherald.com CARY – It took a lot for the Crystal Lake South softball team to beat Grant, both on and off the field.

Rain postponed the scheduled start Wednesday, and a raccoon on top of the backstop delayed the start of Thursday’s game for almost two hours before the Class 4A Dundee-Crown Regional semifinal was moved to CaryGrove.

In a day that tested the mental toughness of both teams, it was two freshmen who shined brightest as Crystal Lake South held off a late Grant rally for a 4-3 win to advance to Saturday’s regional championship game against Barrington.

“You couldn’t find any more ways to distract a team of high school athletes,” South coach Scott Busam said. “You really couldn’t think of a more fictional way to postpone a postseason game. It’s as goofy a game as I’ve been a part of, and we’ve lost games this season with distractions or something happening.

But tonight, someone always seemed to step up when it mattered most and made a big play for us.”

The two biggest moments in the South win came from a couple of Ga-

Third baseman Emily Sulikowski drilled what proved to be the game-winning hit, a two-run double in the seventh inning, to add a couple of much-needed insurance runs for South (14-12).

Then, it was time for the other freshman to step up.

Scoreboard

Thursday’s semifinal (4) Grant vs. (6) Crystal Lake South Saturday’s championship (1) Barrington vs. Winner Game 3, 1:30 p.m.

After being relieved in the sixth inning after allowing only one run, starting pitcher Christina Toniolo was called on by Busam to come back in and close the game in a tough spot.

A one-out, bases-loaded situation for Grant (18-15) with the tying run on first base.

Although two of the runs scored, Toniolo did what she needed to thwart the rally as she got No. 9 hitter Maddy Nourigat to bounce back to her to seal the victory. Toniolo earned the save (1), while junior Sam Burgard (4-4) got credit for the win.

“I was definitely really nervous,” Toniolo said of the final-inning jam.

“I knew I just had to pitch through it, and the support of my teammates really helped. It was tough to stay focused all day, but it’s the regionals now, so we have to.”

Initially, it seemed that the Gators were the more focused of the two teams as the game got underway. After lead-

off hitter Carly Chovanec reached on an infield single, she was immediately bunted over to second.

However, no one covered third, and Chovanec took a chance that paid off.

The throw to third hit off the glove of the left fielder covering the base, which allowed the sophomore to get up and rush home to give the Gators an early lead.

The seventh inning wasn’t the only tough inning for Toniolo. Grant loaded the bases in the second, in which it scored an unearned run to tie the score at 1. The game remained tied until the seventh when the Gators scored three unearned runs, capped by Sulikowski’s big double into left-center field.

“It was a little nerve-racking (during the final at-bat),” Sulikowski said. “Especially when I got two strikes, I was just trying to put the ball in play. Fortunately, I got my pitch and was able to put a good swing on it. It means a lot that we get to keep playing together as a team.”

The regional championship game was initially scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday, but Crystal Lake South’s graduation is at 10 a.m. Both Busam and the Barrington coaches have agreed for a 1:30 p.m. start time Saturday at Dundee-Crown.

First came a groundout, then a lineout to first before Alex Martens, who entered the game hitting .617, came to the plate. Instead of pitching around Martens and giving her the open base, Crystal Lake Central’s Savanah Frank gave her pitches to hit, along with three balls.

Martens eventually hit a ball just foul toward third base that Clare Urbanski was able to catch and end the threat.

“Our defense killed it,” Frank said. “I think we played the best game we’ve played all year offensively and defensively. They picked me up on the mound, and I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.”

“I just think everybody executed,” Iwamoto said.

The two teams split their regular-season meetings, but Thursday was a different story. McHenry’s (20-11) lone hit came on a punch to center field from Amanda Manssen in the sixth inning.

“Savanah Frank was just fantastic tonight,” Central coach Brian Strombom said. “She was on her game the whole game, only gave up the one hit, played her position terrific, started a double play, and her defense was right there with her. ... We were just really, really fluid throughout the game, and we made the plays defensively that we needed to preserve the lead.”

Grant rallies in 7th, beats CLS in 9th

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com CARY – Crystal Lake South’s Tyler Carlson had several minutes to absorb one of the toughest losses of his baseball career.

The Gators’ season, practically extended three innings earlier, came to a stunning end when Grant tied the score in the seventh and won in the ninth. It was nothing like what South expected after being two outs from winning.

“I don’t think that really summarizes our season,” Carlson said. “That wasn’t really us today. We had a way better season than what it looked like today. It’s the last game; it’s tough. We gave it our all. It’s a tough way to go.”

Grant hit back-to-back home runs with one out in the seventh, then pushed across the winning run in the ninth inning for an 8-7 victory Thursday at the Class 4A Cary-Grove Regional baseball tournament. The Bulldogs (24-13) advance to Saturday’s 2 p.m. championship game. The winner of Friday’s 4 p.m. semifinal between Cary-Grove and McHenry will play Grant.

“The team was up; we had 4-5-6 coming up. We had a great shot. We just couldn’t get it done today,” Van Witzenburg said.

Cam Geisser hit a ground ball to shortstop Matt Mason, who flipped to second baseman Logan Lewis. Van Witzenburg’s slide dumped Lewis to prevent a double play, but Van Witzenburg was called for interference and Grant was awarded a double play.

“I tried to slide aggressively to break it up. I didn’t slide past the base,” Van Witzenburg said. “I don’t know, [the umpire] saw it differently.”

Bogda lamented opportunities

South had much earlier in the game, like leaving runners on second and third with one out in the fifth.

“There were a couple pitches we left up that they hit really hard,” Bogda said. “We had some chances to score and extend and we didn’t do that.

That’s what I wish we could have done over again.”

Grant coach Dave Behm was able to go with ace Bryan Libby, who pitched in the Bulldogs’ 4-3 victory Monday over Crystal Lake Central, for the final two innings. Sophomore Shawn Riley came up big with 31/3 scoreless innings, allowing two hits, to get to Libby.

“I can’t say enough about the sophomore taking the ball and just holding them there,” Behm said. “Momentum had shifted their way and he did a great job.”

South’s 26 victories were the second-most in school history to the 2012 team that was 28-10.

“This group of guys is very, very close,” Van Witzenburg said. “I didn’t think I was going to cry after the game saying goodbye to everyone, but I was bawling my eyes out. That fact that we won [the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division with Cary-Grove] is awesome. It was a dang good year.”

“I think we just left runners on and [Harlem] didn’t,” said Mrzlak, who also drew a hit-by-pitch in the sixth.

“That was the difference.”

“It is what it is,” senior outfielder Teaghan Richman added. “When they got big hits like that, we try not to stay down, and we just have to minimize those.”

Golden Eagles pitcher Brittany Feldmann threw six innings, giving up five earned runs on eight hits. The junior struck out two. Richman (2 for 3) had both of the Golden Eagles’ hits on a pair of singles. Borg, a senior first baseman, drew two walks.

As one of four seniors, Richman said it was a tough way to end the season, but she couldn’t have asked for a better group of players to be around.

“It’s hard,” Richman said. “This has always been a part of me, but I’m just really grateful for the whole season and my teammates. We made it a great one to end with.”

Prairie Ridge won its first Illinois High School Lacrosse Association Lacrosse Cup tournament game Thursday in Crystal Lake, downing Immaculate Conception, 16-6. Parker Tomlin scored five goals to lead the Wolves (16-1).

The Knights kept the game close and trailed, 6-4, at halftime, but a 6-0 third-quarter run by the Wolves put the game out of reach.

Nolan Yager, who finished with four points on a goal and three assists, keyed Prairie Ridge’s second-half surge.

The Wolves, who earned a firstround bye this week, will play Lincoln-Way co-op at 6 p.m. Saturday night at Lincoln-Way Central in New Lenox.

Elsewhere, Jacobs lost, 18-3, at Dunlap, and Huntley fell, 12-9, at Marmion.

PARIS – First it was Serena Williams’ turn to overpower an opponent, 6-2, 6-1, on Court Suzanne Lenglen.

Shortly after that was over Thursday, her older sister Venus entered the same French Open arena and won by the same score.

A bit like old times, n’est-ce pas?

“It’s a little surreal sometimes, because it has been so long. They’ve both been out here almost 20 years,” said their sister, Isha Price, who was in the stands for both matches.

Back in 2002, when neither was yet 22, the American siblings contested the final at Roland Garros, one of their eight all-in-the-family Grand Slam title matches – and they haven’t played each other at any stage in Paris since.

That’s due in part to Venus’ troubles at the clay-court tournament, where, now nearly 36, she moved into the third round for the first time since 2010 by relinquishing only three games in 54 minutes against American qualifier Louisa Chirico. Defending champion Serena’s similarly simple victory against 81st-ranked Teliana Pereira of Brazil lasted 12 minutes longer.

of the Sox lineup, one that has scored three runs or fewer in 24 of their 48 games, has scored 20 runs in the past eight games while hitting .115 with runners in scoring position during that stretch. He hates to dwell on it, but he admits feeling the weight on his shoulders.

“Probably,” he said. “(But) I want to. I want to help the team win games.”

Ventura, who gave Abreu a day off Sunday, likes what he’s seen since and expects more displays of power – he has six home runs – to come along.

“I do,” he said. “I think he’s swinging it, the last couple of days it’s looked pretty fresh. Hands wise, getting the barrel to the ball. It’s a good sign for us.”

Abreu said he’s feeling better because he’s hitting the ball to the opposite field.

“That’s when I’m in a good rhythm.”

He knows pitchers have been jamming him inside and that he has been swinging at balls off the plate.

“I don’t like to think about if they are pitching me inside or outside,” he said. “My focus is to swing at balls in the strike zone, not at pitches that are out of the zone. My focus is to get back to my good approach.”

CUBS

Cubs rarely on wrong end of blowout VIEWS Steve Greenberg The Cubs are the team that can’t be blown out.

They are 6-6 in one-run games, 3-5 in two-run games, 2-1 in three-run games, 3-0 in four-run games and – are you ready for this? – 17-2 in games decided by five or more runs.

The higher the margin, the more you pretty much know which team is winning the game. Perhaps that’s the most impressive thing about a Cubs performance that has been, for more than a quarter of the season, transcendent. Every opponent is going in knowing it’ll have to hang on like grim death to beat them.

If there’s a downside to being the team that can’t be blown out, it’s being hit with a sizable share of narrow defeats – tough ones to swallow, as Wednesday’s 9-8 Cubs victory

surely was for the Cardinals.

Only five National League teams have more one-run losses than the Cubs’ six.

“It’s hard when you lose by one run,” catcher Miguel Montero said. “It’s painful.”

Any fan should Miguel be able to relate to Montero that. Lopsided losses aren’t the ones that stick with you into the next day. It’s the close ones that leave players and fans with regrets, second-guesses and what-ifs.

And the next 10-run game with a goat will be the first. But show us a one-run loss, and we’ll show you the guy who threw the bad pitch, flubbed the ground ball or swung at ball four in the dirt with the bases loaded.

“The one-run games are the ones that you really wanted,” center fielder Dexter Fowler said. “You’re like, ‘Man,

we were that close.’ Or worse, ‘Man, I blew it.’ Losing by one run is the worst.”

ON THE OTHER HAND

Not everyone takes one-run losses as hard as Montero and Fowler.

“Whether we lose by one or by six, the one thing that matters with this team is, ‘Did we go out there and play our hardest?’ ” shortstop Addison Russell said. “The people we have in our clubhouse are warriors, man. They don’t give up or get down no matter what the score is. If we lose sight of the daily goal of playing our hardest, then we lose the goal entirely.”

First baseman Anthony Rizzo actually prefers a 2-1 heart-breaker to an 8-2 snoozer any day.

“Getting blown out, getting your tail kicked in, it’s way worse. Those are the ones I have a problem with,” he said. “You lose a one-run game, it’s just baseball. Playing in these close games battle-tests you throughout the year. The more, the better.”

NOT EVEN CLOSE

If there’s a single stat that continues to define these Cubs, it’s their monstrous season run differential of plus-119.

It’s a number that, like a raging wildfire or Bartolo Colon, seems never to stop growing. Even during their recent 4-8 stretch, which ended with Monday’s series opener in St. Louis, the Cubs had a run differential of plus-six.

Since their worst defeat of the season – a 13-5 debacle in Cincinnati nearly five weeks ago – the Cubs have gone 18-9.

The losses came by a total of 14 runs.

The wins? By 74.

And about that Cincinnati series: The Cubs still took three of four from the Reds – by a cartoonish aggregate score of 33-1. The four-game score was a slightly more respectable 38-14. Chicagoans would dance in the streets if the Bears ever beat the Bengals like that.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Well, the White Sox still are in first place after a day in Kansas City.

Their rainout Thursday of the scheduled opener to a four-game series and 10-game road trip, coupled with an off day for the second-place Cleveland Indians, assured the Sox – who came to town riding a three-game losing streak and a skid of 11 Jose Abreu losses in 15 games – of maintaining their halfgame lead.

A silver lining? In their past two losses, Jose Abreu appeared to be finding his much-needed hitting stroke with three hits in each game.

It’s only May, but having been in first place since April 23 is meaningful to Abreu, whose first two seasons in the majors have been spent at or near the bottom of the American League Central. And it should be meaningful to his teammates, too, he said Thursday.

Warriors stay alive Pens into Cup Final

By JANIE McCAULEY The Associated Press

OAKLAND, Calif. – Stephen Curry scored 31 points, raising his arms in the early moments to awaken Golden State’s raucous crowd, and the defending champion Warriors staved off elimination with a 120-111 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals.

The MVP made a layup late and dished out six assists, while Klay Thompson added 27 points as Golden State sent the best the best-of-seven series back to Oklahoma City for Game 6 on Saturday night. Golden State trails 3-2 and is trying to become only the 10th team to rally from a 3-1 deficit.

“We’re not going home! We’re not going home!” Curry yelled at the top of his lungs in the waning moments.

Kevin Durant scored 40 points and Russell Westbrook added 31 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and five steals for the Thunder, trying for the fifth NBA Finals appearance in franchise history and chasing only the second championship after the 1978-79 Seattle SuperSonics won it all.

The record-setting, 73-win Warriors, coming off their first back-toback defeats all season, had been blown out in two losses at Oklahoma City by a combined 52 points.

Durant’s 3-pointer with 4:34 left got the Thunder within 103-98, then Curry answered with a three-point play.

The Associated Press PITTSBURGH – Bryan Rust scored a pair of second-period goals and Matt Murray stopped 16 shots to lift the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals Thursday night to send the franchise to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2009.

Pittsburgh will host Western Conference champion San Jose in Game 1 of the final Monday night.

Jonathan Drouin scored his fifth goal of the playoffs for the Lightning and Andrei Vasilevskiy made 37 saves, but it wasn’t enough to send

Tampa Bay back to the Cup Final for a second straight year. Captain Steven Stamkos had two shots in his return from a two-month layoff while dealing with a blood clot.

The Penguins avoided elimination with a borderline dominant 5-2 victory in Game 6 that provided a snapshot of the formula that fueled their rise through the Eastern Conference standings shortly after coach Mike Sullivan’s arrival in mid-December.

Sullivan calls it “playing the right way,” a way abetted by the influx of speed brought in by general manager Jim Rutherford. That group includes Rust, who forced his way onto the roster with feverish skating and a relentlessness that belies his nondescript 5-foot-11 frame.

CHICAGO – A federal judge heard arguments Thursday on whether the world champion U.S. women’s soccer team has the right to strike for improved conditions and wages before this year’s Summer Olympics, with her pending decision potentially carrying far-reaching consequences for American soccer.

An hour’s worth of arguments in the civil case in federal court in Chicago focused on whether an existing agreement between the governing body of U.S. soccer and the union bars the women from striking in the lead up to the Olympics in Rio, where the American women would seek their fourth straight Olympic gold medal.

A strike, the Chicago-based U.S. Soccer Federation has said in filings, could force the women’s team to withdraw from the Olympics – “all to the substantial detriment of” all soccer-related bodies in the U.S. and to “the growth of girls’ and women’s soccer in general.”

The union wants the option of striking, although it hasn’t said for sure it will strike. Many players have voiced concern over gender equity in soccer.

U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman didn’t say when she might rule, although the federation and the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team Players Association have indicated they hope she does so soon.

After the hearing, the executive director of the players association, Richard Nichols, wouldn’t rule out a strike.

“We’d really like to be able to get a deal done before the Olympics so that we don’t have to contemplate any other action,” he said. But he also said: “We’re going to reserve our rights to do whatever we need to do to affect equal pay.”

Federation lawyer Russell Sauer Jr. told Coleman a no-strike clause is implied in a still-valid memorandum of understanding signed by the sides in 2013.

A lawyer for the union balked at that claim, saying the federation failed to secure a no-strike clause in writing three years ago.

President Starr demoted; football coach Briles fired

By JIM VERTUNO

The Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas – Ken Starr, who zealously pursued charges against a sitting U.S. president in a White House sex scandal, was stripped of his job as president of Baylor University on Thursday after a scathing review found that under his leadership the school did little to respond to accusations of sexual assault involving members of its vaunted football program.

The board of regents at the nation’s largest Baptist university said Starr will vacate the presidency May 31 and stay on as chancellor and law school professor, jobs that will not include any “operational” duties for the school.

Baylor also fired football coach Art Briles and placed athletic director Ian McCaw on probation after an external investigation found the actions of football staff and athletics leadership “in some instances, posed a risk to campus safety and the integrity of the university.”

The report didn’t identify specific cases, but two football players have been convicted of sexual assault since 2014. In the past year, there have been multiple reports of other alleged assaults and women who said the school did nothing to help.

“We’re deeply sorrowful (for) these events,” Baylor regents chairman Richard Willis said. “We’re honestly just horrified.”

Starr gets to keep a title and a job, but his demotion at the school in Waco, Texas, is a stunning fall for the prosecutor whose dogged investigation of President Bill Clinton’s relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky eventually led to Clinton’s 1998 impeachment.

The review by Philadelphia-based law firm Pepper Hamilton found that under Starr, school administrators discouraged students from reporting or participating in student conduct reviews of sexual assault complaints and even contributed to or accommodated a “hostile” environment against the alleged victims.
