Good morning, McHenry County ...

Cannot forget our Korean War heroes My sincerest apologies to the surviving family members of McHenry County service members who were killed during the Korean War. Our Memorial Day tribute on Monday to local residents who died in service to our nation during wartime inadvertently left out those who were killed during the Korean War. A few astute readers notified me Monday morning. We were able to quickly update the tribute at NWHerald.com to include them, but we could not take back Monday’s newspaper to add them back in.

So we won’t forget, here are their names: KOREAN WAR: Frank Aston, Wiliam F. Britt, John E. Burney, Theodore J. Busch, Charles E. Case, Melvin R. Green, Gerald Justen, Melvin H. Jones, Charles D. Kilroy, Eugene H. Kling, William J. Luedtke, Charles

ILLINOIS BUDGET MESS

After Illinois lawmakers met with Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner on Monday, they indicated that a budget deal before the looming deadline is unlikely, leaving the state hurtling toward another fiscal year without a spending plan and bringing further uncertainty to public schools, colleges and social services providers.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand – New Zealand on Tuesday announced it will push ahead with plans to force tobacco companies to remove their logos from cigarette packs and enhance graphic health warnings.

Under draft regulations, cigarettes would be required to be sold in packs with plain background colors and with gruesome-looking images covering at least 75 percent of the front of each pack.

The proposal has widespread support among lawmakers and comes just days after the government announced a tax measure that will hike the price of a pack of cigarettes to about $20, one of the highest in the world.

The plain packaging law is expected to be passed this year with the changes enforced by early next year.

Area residents, veterans mark Memorial Day celebration with services

Bill Oakes for Shaw Media

By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Six-year-old Leia Fisher of Crystal Lake knows what Memorial Day is all about.

“It’s about Grandpa Burt,” she said matter-of-factly, sitting in a lawn chair on Woodstock Street in Crystal Lake awaiting the annual parade.

“And the people who served in the Army.”

Her parents, Nicole and Tom Fisher, said there were several veterans in their family, including the late “Grandpa Burt,” who served in the Army during World War II, so it was important to their family to come to the annual Crystal Lake Memorial Day parade and ceremony.

More than 100 others apparently felt the same as they gathered under the bright sun in Union Cemetery to pay tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

After a parade through the city, a ceremony led by American Legion Post 171 Cmdr. Erik D. Neider included bands from Crystal Lake South, Crystal Lake Central and Prairie Ridge high schools; local Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops; the Veterans of Foreign Wars; Team RWB; the Ensemble of Voices in Harmony; and the Crystal Lake police and fire rescue departments, among others.

Scattered throughout the cemetery were American flags – one next to the grave of a man killed in the Philippine Islands, another for a man who served in World War I, and another for a prisoner of war in Germany, among many more.

Looking around at the crowd of

Sheriff’s office looking into possible hit-and-run

HEBRON – The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a possible hit-and-run that occurred Sunday afternoon, according to the village of Hebron.

The incident reportedly involved a motorcycle that was traveling south on Route 47 when it collided with a white work van with a red ladder rack near O’Brien Road, a notice on the Hebron Facebook page said. The unknown white van apparently continued west on O’Brien road without stopping.

Anyone with information on the van, which might have damage to the front passenger side, is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at 815-338-2144.

The Hebron-Alden-Greenwood Fire Protection District and the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office did not respond to calls for more information.

Restaurant, bar holds soft open

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – After being closed for about two months, the former Tequilaville restaurant has reopened as Corner Pub & Grille under one of its previous owners.

Restaurant manager Michelle Fisk said the business, 135 Washington St., had a soft opening last week, and a grand opening will be planned in the next couple of weeks.

While the restaurant still has some dishes from the former establishment, including fajitas, the new American menu features flatbread pizzas, fried pickles, burgers and hot dogs, Fisk said.

“This corner has never worked,” owner Afrim Banushi said. “And it’s always been either Italian food or Mexican food, so I’m like, ‘Let’s try some more traditional American food.’ ” Part of the reason why Tequilaville closed was because business was just OK, Banushi said, and the co-owner of Tequilaville, Memo Zamorano, moved out of town.

Tequilaville had been open for about a year, Banushi said. The restaurant now has a new look to it, and Banushi and Fisk said they hope it will have a welcom-

ing atmosphere where people can come for drinks with their friends.

There are about five members on staff now, and the restaurant is working on hiring more, he said.

Food is served from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Sunday through Thursday, and the bar is open until about 1 a.m., Fisk said. Food is served from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays

and Saturdays, and the bar is open until about 2 a.m., she said.

There is room for about 90 people in the dining room and video gaming area, Banushi said, and more space outside on the patio.

The business does not yet have a website or Facebook page, but it can be reached at 815-527-7870.

Nonprofit’s report aims to help city decide use for historic sites

Did you attend a Memorial ghghghghg?

Day service or parade? ???day’s results as of XX p.m.: Monday’s results as of 9:15 p.m.:

hprokop@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – People in Woodstock are motivated to find a solution on how to use the Old Courthouse and Sheriff’s House, Wendy Holmes said, but the city just needs a little bit of technical assistance to get there.

Holmes, senior vice president of consulting and strategic partnerships with Artspace, said the Minneapolis-based nonprofit met with more than 100 community members during the group’s recent trip to the city, and is now writing a report with proposed uses for the historic properties.

“We learned that there’s a community that really wants to showcase that building, and that it’s kind of the last missing piece of figuring out how to utilize the buildings downtown,” Holmes said.

The report, which Holmes said is expected to be finished in five to seven weeks, will provide ideas for a mixture of uses for the property, with an emphasis on art uses.

One of the challenges in finding a use for the space is that there is about 18,000 square feet of usable space in both the Old Courthouse and Sheriff’s House, Holmes said.

At the public meeting and focus group meetings held May 18 and 19 in the city, Holmes said people had many ideas for the space, including more restaurants, artists’ workspace, spaces for events and overall, some form of public space.

“There’s only so many things that can be done because it’s not a huge amount of space,” Holmes said. “So you want to think carefully about which things are going to allow public access and bring in enough revenue to cover the operating costs.”

Your Home and Your Future

Artspace senior vice president of consulting and strategic partnerships The city received a $20,000 grant from the McHenry County Community Foundation to fund the Artspace report, Woodstock grant writer Terry Willcockson has said, and the report is meant to work in conjunction with the technical assistance panel report.

The city acquired the Old Courthouse and Sheriff’s House in 2011 and has since been trying to determine a use for the property that has recently

held the Public House of Woodstock, Old Courthouse Arts Center and some private artist studios.

The Old Courthouse and Sheriff’s House advisory commission was established by the city in October to help find a use for the building, and a nonprofit organization, Friends of the Old Courthouse, was established to raise money and awareness for the property’s renovations.

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois House unanimously passed legislation Monday that would prohibit newly elected county board members from receiving pensions through the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund.

Senate Bill 2701 now returns to the Senate for a concurrence vote.

The bill was filed by Sen. Pam Althoff, R-McHenry, in response to an IMRF investigation into whether McHenry County Board members, all but a few of whom are enrolled in IMRF, are working the required 1,000 hours a year to qualify for pensions.

State law sets a 600-hour standard, but allows local governments to set a higher 1,000-hour standard, which the County Board did in 1997. State Rep. Jack Franks called for the IMRF investigation.

Althoff’s original bill required local elected officials participating in IMRF to keep records of their hours. It initially passed the Senate. Franks, with

Althoff’s permission, added an amendment in the House to bar newly elected board members from receiving IMRF pensions.

“Public dollars should be spent on critical services and infrastructure, not on pensions for part-time board members who may not even be eligible to receive them,” Franks, D-Marengo, said in a news release issued after Monday’s vote. “We need to prevent future part-time county board officials from collecting Rep. taxpayer-funded benefits Jack Franks and ensure that the taxpayer dollars in this fund are not being siphoned off by elected officials who game the system.”

Earlier this month, Franks announced that he would run for McHenry County Board chairman in November instead of seeking another term in the Illinois House. He faces Republican Michael Walkup, a current County Board member, on the Nov. 8 ballot.

Continued from page A3 people – some wore red, white and blue while others wore the face of a lost loved one on their clothes – veteran Charles Gumprecht, about 90, said the number of people who participate in such events stands as the major difference between Memorial Day in his childhood compared with today.

Gumprecht, a lifelong Crystal Lake resident, sat with Neider at the center of the cemetery and talked in question-and-answer format about his experiences.

After being drafted in 1944 and serving in Gen. George Patton’s Third Army, Gumprecht described to the crowd how he came home, “hopped off the train and sauntered on home,” like it was no big deal – a starkly different experience than when he returned home last month after an honor flight to Washington, D.C. “I asked, ‘What are all those cars doing down at the end of the road?’ ” Gumprecht recalled, chuckling. “What a welcome that was.”

Throughout McHenry County, others celebrated the lives and sacrifices of those who died while serving their country.

PUBLIC ACCESS FOX LAKE – One of three dogs in a single-family home died after a structure fire in Fox Lake, a fire official said Monday night.

The Fox Lake Fire Protection District was dispatched about 8 p.m. Monday for a reported structure fire in the zero to 100 block of Hillcrest Avenue, according to scanner traffic.

Battalion Chief Tom Priedis described the blaze as a room and content fire, largely affecting one room in the home.

He added no one was home at the time of the fire, but one dog died. Two others were rescued by firefighters.

No damage estimates were available Monday night, and Priedis said the cause of the fire still is under investigation.

Priedis also said he believed agencies from Round Lake, Lake Villa and Spring Grove assisted either at the scene or with a change of quarters.

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois lawmakers are commissioning a report from the state’s Environmental Protection Agency in an effort to better monitor lead levels in state water supplies.

A resolution that the House Environment Committee approved Monday would require the state agency to conduct a study of lead in Illinois drinking water and publish results online.

Rep. David The agency would McSweeney present a report to Gov. Bruce Rauner and the state Legislature between Sept. 1 and Dec. 31.

Republican state Rep. David McSweeney is the proposal’s sponsor. He said the study should be a priority because of the water crisis in Flint, Michigan.

The full Illinois House still needs to approve the plan.

According to U.S. EPA data, at least 31 Illinois water systems exceeded the federal lead standard at least once since Jan. 1, 2013.

Fundraiser to benefit statue of Huskies mascot

By JESSE SEVERSON

jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – After the Northern Illinois University’s football team won its game at Purdue in 2009, it took Huskies fans Bob Smith and Tom Bonnevier about an hour to get back to their car.

It came with the territory traveling with Diesel, the beloved Northern Illinois live mascot. Diesel, a Siberian husky, frequently drew attention from fans and requests for pictures before retiring in 2013 and passing away last September after losing a battle with lymphoma.

Now, Smith and Bonnevier are a part of a small group raising money to put up a statue outside Huskie Stadium of Diesel’s most iconic moment. They’re hoping to reach the goal of $25,000 in time to commission the statue and unveil it at the 2017 football home opener against Boston College.

“Tom took [Diesel] anywhere they let him in,” Smith said of Bonnevier, who was Diesel’s owner. “We traveled all over the place, and everybody

loved Diesel.”

Donations can be made by searching for the project, called “The Diesel Memorial Project,” on the website gofundme.com.

If the goal is met – almost $5,000 of the $25,000 needed has been raised as of Monday – the statue will be of Diesel sitting with his left paw up, a pose that became famous when ESPN showed the real-life Siberian husky give a high-five to a Northern Illinois cheerleader after a touchdown in a game against Ball State in 2013.

The idea originated with a group of friends on a Northern Illinois message board. Renee Bemis, who has more than three decades of experience as a sculptor, will create the statue – which she said could take about a year to complete, including the creation of the mold and the bronzing process, before it is handed over to a foundry.

The statue also will be on a pedestal, allowing it to be moved to other special events involving Northern Illinois.

Smith, 66, said it was a long process to get the idea approved by all

the necessary parties at the university, which included university President Doug Baker. Northern Illinois Athletic Director Sean Frazier would not comment on the matter, saying he was not involved in the project.

It is believed that the statue would be placed between the west grandstand of Huskie Stadium and the Chessick Center, allowing any passers-by the opportunity to high-five the bronze Diesel.

Smith, who graduated from Northern Illinois before starting an almost 40-year career as a locomotive engineer and currently is retired in West Melbourne, Florida, said he hopes the statue especially will be a hit with the younger Huskies fans at games.

He also praised Bemis and Alberta Solfisburg of the NIU Foundation for helping push the idea through.

While the project has had several people make donations up to $100, Smith said he knows the project also will need some bigger supporter.

“We’re realistic about it, and we’ll need some donors to write some big checks,” Smith said. “But we’re fully confident we can do it.”

Smith also said the project is in good hands with Bemis doing the sculpting. She created the pack of three running Huskies on the east side of the Chessick Center.

Bemis said she’s already created a miniature version – around 6 to 8 inches tall – of the statue that turned out well. She expects the finished version to be about 3 feet, 4 inches tall from him sitting to the top of his extended paw.

Although her previous work for NIU, the pack of three Huskies, was more general in nature, she said the distinctness of having it be Diesel in his iconic pose will help.

“It’s pretty clear what I need to do – where he put his feet, how his head was tilted, what he looks like – so it makes it slightly easier,” she said.

Diesel was NIU’s mascot for nine years before retiring with the title of mascot emeritus after the 2013 season. He still attended games – including the Huskies’ season-opening win over UNLV in 2015 – right before his death, but a new husky, Mission, took over the duties as the new living mascot.

Food Lion co-founder Ralph Ketner dies at age 95

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The man who helped turned $50 investments in a North Carolina grocery store into the Food Lion chain with more than 1,100 stores across the Southeast has died. Ralph Ketner, 95, died Sunday, according to a news release from the grocery store chain. No cause of death was given by Food Lion officials or the funeral home handling his arrangements.

Ketner successfully gambled that bigger sales by lowering prices to where profit

margins were razor thin were the best path to success. In 1957, he opened the Food Town grocery store in Salisbury, North Carolina, with two friends, calling people in the phone book and asking for $50 or $100 investments. About 125 people gave him money, and that one store grew into the Food Lion chain with stores across the Southeast. With stock splits over the years, an investor who bought $28 in stock originally ended up with $1 million, according to Food Lion.

Gov. Bruce Rauner meets with local community leaders Thursday in Springfield.

Hope of budget deal before deadline dims

By IVAN MORENO

The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Illinois lawmakers signaled Monday they won’t have a budget deal before a key deadline, leaving the state hurtling toward another fiscal year without a spending plan and bringing further uncertainty to public schools, colleges and social services providers.

Leaders from both parties met with Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner on Monday in another attempt at compromise, exiting his office to deliver remarks that all but guaranteed they won’t find agreement before they adjourn their spring session Tuesday night.

“The bottom line for the taxpayers of Illinois is that as of tomorrow there will be no balanced budget,” Republican Senate Leader Christine Radogno said.

The meeting happened just moments after Democrats showed their force by overriding a Rauner veto on a proposal to lower Chicago’s pension payments for police and firefighters.

Lawmakers can still pass a budget after Tuesday, but it will be a heavy lift requiring three-fifths support from each chamber in what’s expected to be a bruising election year. A budget passed before the deadline would need only a simple majority.

Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan said after the meeting there was a “good exchange of ideas,” the brightest outlook he’s given yet after a discussion with Republican

leaders and the governor in recent weeks.

But even though he reported progress from legislative working groups trying to get a budget compromise, Madigan said the House is prepared to continue working through June.

“If there’s no agreement tomorrow night, I would ask the governor to keep his working groups functioning on a regular schedule because the House is going to ... schedule ourselves to be here every Wednesday through June starting next week,” Madigan said.

His chamber has already passed a budget that Rauner has said he’ll veto if it passes the Senate because it is $7 billion out of balance. By the Democrats’ design, that $40 billion spending plan includes funding for schools in an attempt to force Rauner’s hand; a veto would allow them to blame the governor if schools can’t open this fall.

The 11-month budget standoff on a budget that should’ve taken effect July 1 makes Illinois the only state in the country without a budget for the current fiscal year.

Already, that’s forced colleges and universities to lay off staff and decimated social service programs across the state.

About 90 percent of state’s spending is on autopilot because of court orders requiring funds for crucial services such as Medicaid and salaries for state workers. But those decrees don’t cover higher education institutions and some social service providers.

Chicago gets pension relief as Rauner veto overridden

SPRINGFIELD – Chicago taxpayers will save $1 billion on police and fire pension costs in the short term under a law the General Assembly approved Monday after some House Republicans bucked their governor, who had railed against it as a ridiculous expansion of the Illinois’ growing pension hole.

The House voted, 72-43, to override Gov. Bruce Rauner’s veto of the savings plan, which trumps state law that required the city to pump $4.62 billion into retirement accounts for police officers and firefighters through 2020.

The huge payments could have forced a $300 million property tax increase, Mayor Rahm Emanuel had warned. But Rauner countered that shorting payments will cost an extra $18.6 billion in interest during the next 40 years.

The House quickly followed the Senate in reversing the first-term governor, a businessman who has pounced on the issue of Illinois’ woeful pension funding – in municipal as well as state accounts – since he was a candidate.

The city’s police and fire funds are $12 billion short of what’s needed to cover current and future obligations. Chronic underfunding over the decades is largely to blame, as it is responsible for the $111 billion shortfall Illinois faces in its state-employee accounts. Rauner saw the legislation as another means of delaying the pain necessary to restore fiscal balance.

“Clearly, those who supported this measure haven’t recognized what happens when government fails to promptly fund pension obligations,” Rauner said in a statement.

The legislation was approved in the House last year with 65 votes – six short of the number needed for a veto override. But Monday, some Republicans jumped to the Democratic mayor’s aid Monday. Arlington Heights Republican Rep. David Harris said Emanuel inherited the mess from his predecessor and already raised property taxes by $500 billion just to catch up on underfunded pensions.

“Not a penny for public works, not a penny for infrastructure improvement,” Harris said. “That’s a tough thing to do and I give him credit for that.”

2 officers injured after man sets self on fire at festival

CHICAGO – A police spokeswoman said two officers were hospitalized after a man set himself and a building on fire during a Chicago street festival.

Officer Michelle Tannehill told The Associated Press the officers were being treated for injuries not believed to be life-threatening.

The man also was in custody at a hospital, and the extent of his injuries wasn’t immediately known.

The incident happened around 7:30 p.m. in the southwestern part of the city a few blocks from the National Museum of Mexican Art.

Firefighter accused of using cigarettes in arsons

FREEPORT – The defense attorney for a northern Illinois firefighter accused of starting five fires said his client will have a mental evaluation.

Twenty-year-old Kenneth Grabow of Orangeville is next due in court July 7. He’s accused of tossing lit cigarettes to spark at least two of the blazes.

Grabow joined the volunteer Orangeville Fire Department in August. He’s charged with arson and criminal damage to property in connection with fires set at three barns, a shed and an abandoned home in the Orangeville area between April 14 and 19. Estimates are that each fire caused more than $10,000 damage.

Defense attorney Robert Fagan told The (Freeport) Journal-Standard that he doesn’t know whether Grabow is fit to stand trial or has any mental issues. Fagan said “that’s why we’re having him evaluated.”

22-year-old Illinois man dies in dirt bike accident

HEYWORTH – Authorities in central Illinois say a 22-year-old man died in a dirt bike accident.

Authorities identified the victim as Andrew Johnson of Heyworth. He was found Saturday afternoon in a creek near a wooded area in Heyworth.

McLean County Coroner Kathy Davis told The (Bloomington) Pantagraph that Johnson was unconscious from a blunt force head injury when he entered the water. Preliminary autopsy results indicate Johnson died of drowning because of the accident.

Toxicology results are pending. The McLean County Coroner’s Office and McLean County Sheriff’s Department are investigating.

Iraq forces into Fallujah; IS bombings kill 24

BAGHDAD – Iraqi forces started pushing into the city of Fallujah on Monday as a wave of bombings claimed by the Islamic State group in Baghdad and near the Iraqi capital killed at least 24 people. The advance is part of an offensive to rout militants from Fallujah and recapture the city west of Baghdad, which has been held by the Islamic State for over two years. The offensive on Fallujah, backed by paramilitary troops and aerial support from the U.S.-led coalition, was first launched about a week ago.

The battle for the strategic city is likely to be a protracted one, with Iraqi forces advancing slowly to minimize civilian casualties.

Tens of thousands of civilians still are believed to be inside the city, trapped by the fighting.

Zoo director defends killing gorilla to save boy

CINCINNATI – The Cincinnati Zoo’s director on Monday defended the decision to kill a gorilla to protect a 4-year-old boy who entered its exhibit, noting it’s easy to second-guess after the child was recovered safely. The male western gorilla named Harambe was killed Saturday by a special zoo response team that feared for the boy’s safety. Video taken by zoo visitors showed the gorilla at times appeared to be protective of the boy but also dragged him through the shallow moat.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks May 10 during an interview with The Associated Press in his office at Trump Tower in New York.

Trump sits critically behind Clinton in digital campaign

By THOMAS BEAUMONT The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA – Donald Trump trails Hillary Clinton by months, even years, in using fast-evolving digital campaigning to win over voters, data specialists working with the GOP say. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee has dismissed the science that defines 21st-century political campaigns, a tool that President Barack Obama used effectively in winning two terms and the Clinton campaign has worked on for nearly a year.

And while it is too early to tell whether the late start signals trouble for Trump, it illustrates the difference between Trump’s proudly outsider campaign and the institutional knowledge within Clinton’s.

“She’s been able to prepare a general election campaign since the beginning,” said Alex Lundry, former senior technology adviser to Mitt Romney’s 2012 Republican presidential campaign. “That head start in terms of time is extraordinarily valuable.”

Precision digital-marketing data, a person’s online footprints, have become an electoral science that Democrats have dominated, and Republicans have chased, for a decade. Campaigns used the data at first simply to track supporters.

The information now guides a range of decisions, such as the types and volume of advertising, where to deploy campaign staff to mobilize voters and where a candidate should visit.

Trump’s team has been unclear about its use of data in the general election.

Trump told The Associated Press this month

the tool was “overrated” and he planned “limited” data use during the general election, although his campaign has worked with firms and a small in-house staff to track voters during the primaries.

Later, senior adviser Rick Wiley, who was hired in April, suggested Trump would run a “state of the art” campaign and use data strategically, relying on Trump’s own list of supporters, the Republican National Committee’s voter list and a data service financed largely by the RNC called Data Trust.

“All of the data points – whatever they are – our ability to harvest that data is invaluable,” said Wiley, the RNC’s former executive director. He has since left the campaign, after what a source close to the matter said were disagreements with Trump loyalists about who should lead campaign efforts in key states. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity, lacking authorization to discuss internal campaign matters publicly.

Given how Republicans have long trailed Democrats in digital campaigning, Trump’s grudging talk and Wiley’s departure hardly signal a rush to catch up. Trump spent more than $1 million in April on campaign paraphernalia such as caps, T-shirts and signs. Even as he was effectively seizing the nomination, he spent less than a third of that amount on data and related functions such as telemarketing.

Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign revolutionized the way technology could be used to identify and keep track of supporters who attended his campaign events and gave money to his candidacy.

Most wait times bearable for Memorial Day travel

By JENNIFER KAY

The Associated Press MIAMI – Travelers who had braced for long lines and long waits were instead moving through most U.S. airports fairly quickly Monday, as the busy Memorial Day travel weekend drew to close.

“Honestly it wasn’t too bad,” said Kendra Morehead of Wooster, Ohio, who flew from Detroit to Denver for a conference. “I got to the airport an hour and a half early, but security only took like 15 minutes.”

However, the airlines weren’t ready to say “mission accomplished” yet, as it’s just the beginning of the busy summer travel season.

“Things have been going pretty well so far this weekend and we are working hard to make sure that we have no repeat of what we saw in Chicago,” said American Airlines spokesman Ross Feinstein, referring to Chicago O’Hare International Airport, which had some of the worst screening problems in recent weeks.

The extra dogs were concentrated at the nation’s largest airports, but they weren’t used for all screenings. Many travelers still had to observe the usual procedures. England said the extra dogs would remain at security checkpoints well beyond the Memorial Day weekend.

At Miami International Airport, Fernando Del Gaudio arrived three hours early for a flight home to Buenos Aires, Argentina, only to find that the regular security lines and the prescreened lines in the American Airlines terminal were empty Monday evening.

“We’re more worried about the luggage, honestly,” he said as his wife

worked to close a very full carry-on bag.

In some parts of Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, lines were nonexistent and ID-carrying travelers were outnumbered by clusters of TSA employees.

At John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, travelers arriving from major cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix and Miami said their security lines had been short.

Not everyone had a smooth trip, however. Bob Dunlap of Milford, Michigan, expected to wait an hour to get through a security line that snaked from the Denver airport’s cavernous security plaza all the way back to baggage claim.

He had tried to expedite his screening by arriving three hours early and checking his baggage. “What can you do?” he said with a shrug. “I’ve never been in a line like this for security, ever.”

At California’s Sacramento International Airport, an early morning photo posted on Twitter showed a line into the airport stretching all the way back to a parking garage. The dispatcher said that was taken during the airport’s busiest part of the day and the line had shrunk by late morning.

CHATHAM, Mass. – From drones and smartphone apps to old-school flags and signs, a growing great white shark population along the East Coast has officials and researchers turning to responses – both high- and low-tech – to ensure safety for millions of beachgoers this summer.

On Cape Cod, Massachusetts, new warning flags and signs are cropping up at some of the coastline’s most popular beaches and a local shark research nonprofit is developing a shark tracking app for the entire Eastern Seaboard.

Researchers at Duke University and the University of North Carolina, meanwhile, are testing shark-seeking drones in a scientific study that may one day give beach lifeguards a new eye in the sky.

“The days of burying our heads in the sand and saying, ‘What sharks? We don’t have sharks here’ are over,” said Gregory Skomal, a Massachusetts state biologist who has been studying Cape Cod’s surging white shark population.

“It’s time to move past that and be forthright and honest with the public about the presence of these animals.”

The new measures are the latest acknowledgements of the new reality taking hold on Massachusetts’ famous

ing in recent years an unofficial “shark working group” to come up with ways to educate the public. Among the ideas they developed for this summer were the warning flags, which are purple and emblazoned with the unmistakable silhouette of a great white.

The flags will start flying at some town beaches starting this Memorial Day weekend and appear on beaches administered by the National Park Service starting June 16, when those beaches are staffed with lifeguards.

Towns are also posting dramatic billboards at beach entries. Many bear a large great white image and advise visitors against swimming near seals.

“It’s certainly not to sensationalize the situation. You just really need to jam it down their throats,” said Nathan Sears, natural resources manager for the Cape Cod town of Orleans. “Whatever you can give them – pamphlets, signs, flags.”

By July, when Cape Cod’s waters warm and great whites begin to appear in earnest, those measures will get hightech reinforcement. A smartphone app being launched by the Chatham-based Atlantic Great White Conservancy will let beachgoers from Canada to Florida monitor the movements of tagged great whites and report their own possible shark sightings.

OUR VIEW

Budget debacle only gets worse Here we go again.

Despite the pain and controversy that followed Illinois going an entire year without an approved budget, Democrats in the Illinois House of Representatives have voted once again to pass an unbalanced budget certain to be vetoed by Gov. Bruce Rauner.

That is bad enough. What’s worse is the way in which it was done The budget plan, a 500-page document, was introduced in the House last Wednesday and voted on the same day, after Democrats voted to end debate.

Then 63 members of the House, all of them Democrats under the command of House Speaker Michael Madigan (D-Chicago), voted in favor. Nine Democrats joined the House’s 44 Republicans in voting “no,” including Rep. Jack Franks of Marengo.

How many of those who voted in favor had even read through what they were voting for?

Perhaps those capable of both speed-reading and with a wonkish mastery of the complex finances of a state with more than 12 million people, and maybe a trusted few who were allowed any input into the Speaker’s budget decisions.

We suspect the vast majority of Democrats simply did as they were told and voted yes.

This is the government we are getting in Illinois.

State Rep. Bob Pritchard accused his colleagues of ignoring the issues, and that’s certainly a fair assessment. House lawmakers approved a spending plan with a $7.2 billion deficit, despite the fact there has been no discussion about where the money to close that gap will come from.

There are also consent decrees and court orders requiring our state to continue funding certain services at 2015 levels, when the state was taking in considerably more in taxes. There are pension obligations that are consuming more and more of Illinois’ revenue. These issues, too, are being ignored.

The House has multiple appropriations committees whose job is supposed to be to help craft the budget. That work is not being done. Rank-and-file lawmakers were meeting independently to try to reach some compromises that could bring about a budget deal – their work was dismissed by Madigan as “not persuasive.”

What does appear persuasive is Madigan’s desire to show Rauner and the rest of Illinois that he is the one in charge.

So long as Madigan is in charge, this is the government we will get. It’s one where issues are ignored, budgets are passed with only cursory debate, and our state’s crisis situation appears set to deepen.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Airport lines reveal deeper problem American airports, uninviting in the best of times, have lately descended into bedlam. Security lines are stretching for hours.

Passengers are missing flights.

Some places are even resorting to clowns, candy and miniature horses to calm the flying public.

Things will only get worse as summer vacations get under way.

Improving this experience is possible – but there is no easy fix.

The Transportation Security Administration, predictably, wants more money and staff. It notes that Congress has cut its budget, air travel has surged, and long lines are the predictable result. Don’t buy it: The TSA has a $7.4 billion budget and a staff of more than 50,000, yet it can’t meet even the most basic security requirements. More cash alone won’t solve its problems.

Some in Congress think using private contractors in lieu of TSA agents would help. That’s more promising: Studies suggest it could boost efficiency, reduce

costs and improve security. A pilot project at 22 airports called the Screening Partnership Program has been largely successful.

Yet contractors still have to follow procedures that are set by the TSA and enforced by politicians.

And that’s where the real trouble begins.

By law, the TSA publishes a list of items that are prohibited on planes. The list is divided into topical subcategories and includes dozens of objects, some described with dizzying specificity (“all scissors except those that are not metal and do not have pointed tips, and which have a blade length less than 4 inches as measured from the fulcrum”).

Hunting for such items is the grim lot of the TSA agent. But the list no longer makes sense. It ignores security improvements, such as reinforced cockpit doors, that have eliminated the threat many of those items once posed. It distracts screeners from looking for more dangerous stuff, such as

explosives and toxins.

Even the most sensible proposals to pare back the banned-items list have led to theatrical outrage from Congress. As a result, the list hasn’t been significantly updated in nearly a decade, even as threats to aviation have evolved. It should be scrapped entirely, except for the ban on truly dangerous items, such as explosives. Airport screeners shouldn’t be rummaging for illicit scissors; they should be ensuring that no one blows up a plane. Such an approach to security – based on assessing risks instead of checking boxes – would lead to shorter lines, safer planes, and a generally less-awful day at the airport.

There are other factors. If airlines didn’t charge a fee for checked bags, security lines might be less congested. And the TSA could be more aggressive about promoting its PreCheck program, which allows passengers to use an expedited screening process.

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.

VIEWS Albert Hunt trade accord.

There was some skepticism whether, as candidates, Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush were serious about their huge tax-cut proposals. They were. Or whether Barack Obama really would push to overhaul the health care system. He did.

Sometimes presidents follow campaign commitments that are politically risky. President Bill Clinton fulfilled his promise to ease a ban on gays in the military, which at the time was not popular. And some presidents need to be dragged into breaking an unwise promise. It took George H.W. Bush almost two years to abandon his no-new-taxes pledge.

The 1990 budget deal, with tax hikes, had two effects: It helped usher in the economic good times of the 1990s and cost Bush politically.

Trump, who has railed against politicians who don’t keep their promises, could be expected to start deporting 11 million undocumented workers. He says he’d do so over two years without specifying how he would cover the astronomical costs.

He claims he’s for the middle class, yet his fix is to always raise taxes. Well Mr. Madigan, how does raising taxes help the middle class?

Working together to find a cure for LAM

To the Editor: June 1 is Worldwide LAM Awareness Day, a day to raise awareness of a rare disease that primarily affects women.

About 1,400 American women like me and an estimated 3,500 globally have been diagnosed with LAM, or Lymphangioleiomyomatosis, a progressive and deadly rare lung disease that affects women during the prime of their lives.

On June 1, I will join other women with LAM, scientists and clinicians around the world who are researching the disease, along with The LAM Foun-

He would also try to start building the wall along the U.S.’s southern border, though it would cost much more than he estimates and he won’t be able to compel Mexico to pay for it.

On trade, international and domestic laws would limit his ability to make good on his vow to impose huge tariffs on Chinese or Mexican goods.

He could try to circumvent these restrictions by invoking presidential powers in responding to an “unusual and extraordinary threat.”

Under a Trump administration, Wall Street and environmental regulations would be rolled back: He could be expected to tap industry-friendly regulators and get Congress to starve funding for the affected agencies and obtain some legislative changes.

Trump’s foreign policy isn’t clear to most, though he seems to have given little thought to the subject as his pronouncements are mostly generic: Other countries need to bear more of the burden for their own defense.

There are some unconventional views: He has spoken of his admiration for Putin. The president can take military action against a perceived threat and Trump might not be shy in doing that.

Street backers say her proposals and tougher rhetoric on banks are just a political response to Sanders, her Democratic rival. Don’t bet on it. But you can bet that she’ll push hard to raise taxes on the wealthy.

On trade, there is a view among some of her policy and business supporters that she really is a free trader and that her opposition to Obama’s Pacific trade pact and her pledge to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement are just political gesturing. In reality, she wouldn’t back down and the TPP is dead if it isn’t enacted in a lame-duck session after this year’s election.

Trump lacks a lot of policy specifics, but both he and Clinton have laid out a road-map of where they want to take the country. Voters should take them seriously.

A number of Republicans rationalize Donald Trump’s proposals on immigration and trade as just political show. Similarly, some freetrade Democrats suggest that Hillary Clinton’s protectionist stance is merely rhetoric.

They are deluded. Academic research and recent history show that newly elected presidents try to hew closely to their campaign commitments.

“New presidents actually believe they have a mandate, feel empowered,” says Shirley Anne Warshaw, a presidential scholar at Gettysburg College. “There is no reason to think it would be any different this time.”

Thus, politicians and voters should assume that a President Trump would start deporting millions of undocumented immigrants and building a wall along the Mexican border, threaten China with a trade war, roll back regulations concerning Wall Street and the environment and make nice with Vladimir Putin.

The assumption should be that a President Clinton would seek to boost taxes on the wealthy, initiate a plethora of new social programs that fall well short of what Bernie Sanders has advocated and stymie the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership

TECHNOLOGY

Smart homes, wise choices

By AUDREY HOFFER The Washington Post

Steve Lee knows when his mother gets up in the morning, walks into the living room, opens the front door to get the paper and takes her medications in the kitchen. Nothing unusual about that except he lives an hour and 10 minutes away from her.

Lee’s 80-something mother lives alone in a smart home.

“I put a small system in her house that enables me to keep an eye on her,” said Lee, the director of technical services at Universal Devices in Encino, California. “If I don’t see any motion and she hasn’t opened the refrigerator by 8:30, then I know I need to check on her right away.”

Smart homes are becoming more common as people push the boundaries of digital technology to help them look after their health and security, control their carbon footprint and make living easier.

The Lauterette home in Northern Virginia is a textbook example of how to live digitally.

“I have over a hundred switches connected to appliances,” said Jeff Lauterette, director of technology at the National Petroleum Council, who lives with his wife, Cassie, and two children in a three-level, 6,000-squarefoot house. They get phone alerts ranging from the playful (the boys are clowning around after bedtime) to the serious (an unknown car or person is on the driveway).

More than a black box

One key to an immersive digital lifestyle is an automation system that resides in your home. Universal Devices makes a black box that looks like a cable box, called the ISY (Intelligent System). It connects to a home network and power lines, and to a smartphone, tablet or computer.

Not all automation systems are black boxes. Some are built into security systems; some are built into a home during construction; some are in the cloud.

About a dozen apps on the market use the ISY, which works with controllable outlets, light switches, multi-button keypad switches, motion detectors, door contacts, ceiling fan controls and many other devices, Lee said.

You log into the ISY website on your computer and create programs to turn things on and off at certain times.

“It’s a simple process. You don’t

Cassie Lauterette and her son, Ashton, 4, are illuminated by the glow of the tablets that control many of their home’s functions. have to be a programmer,” Lee said.

“The brilliance of the ISY system is the flexibility it offers. This isn’t just turning on and off lights,” Lauterette said.

You can program by the day, season or your vacation schedule.

Lauterette said he programmed dozens of variables across the house to enhance efficiency, save energy and maximize safety.

In the kitchen, he uses the system for convenience. If he puts a chicken in the oven or on the grill, he inserts a meat thermometer, and when the temperature hits 400 degrees F., his phone beeps. For safety, the garbage disposal stops after five seconds.

In the garage, he uses the system to prevent waste. If the freezer door mistakenly is left open, he receives a text alert when the temperature reaches 40 degrees.

In the garden, he uses the ISY to save water. If the soil probe detects wet soil or the weather report predicts rain, then the ISY will disable the sprinklers.

In the backyard pool, he uses the ISY to ensure clean water for the boys.

He receives alerts on acidity, salt and

chlorine content.

In the front yard last winter, he programmed the system to save electricity. When snow reached the garden lights, they automatically turned off.

A smartphone or tablet is a key accessory, which means commands can be accessed remotely via an app or by voice control.

“I’ve opened the garage door from Florida to let in a deliveryman,” said Cassie Lauterette, owner of Mid Atlantic Consulting, which assists with smart home set-ups.

“We watched him drive up. Then we opened the garage door, and he put the package inside,” Jeff Lauterette said.

Short-term programs can be written for a specific time period, such as a program to turn lights on at varying times to make it look like people are home when they are not.

The ISY also enables virtual on-off switches. You can put a keypad switch on the night table, turn on the bathroom lights before you get out of bed and turn them off when you get back in. You also can turn on the coffee pot when you wake up.

More options

Even without a dedicated automation system, you still can have remote capabilities, because many companies make Smart appliances that have their own app.

Chukwuma Ebi, a Nest Labs training representative, said he pointed a Dropcam out the second-floor window of his home in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, to monitor his car. “I can see my car right now,” he said one morning at Best Buy in Washington. The camera, connected to his phone via an app, is triggered by motion and sound. If there’s a disturbance, he receives a text alert.

Every day after school, Teresa Dolan’s two boys tap the deadbolt of their home in the Crestwood neighborhood of Washington and walk inside. Every week her cleaning team does the same.

“We struggled with key inventory, and the idea of handing a key to a strangers left me concerned,” Dolan said. She installed the Kwikset Kevo, a Bluetooth-enabled deadbolt. She assigned privileges to the boys and others to whom she wants to provide with keyless entry.

TECH BRIEFS

Reading something on a screen – as opposed to a printout – causes people to home in on details and but not broader ideas, according to a new article by Geoff Kaufman, a professor at Carnegie Mellon, and Mary Flanagan, a professor at Dartmouth.

“Digital screens almost seem to create a sort of tunnel vision where you’re focusing on just the information you’re getting this moment, not the broader context,” Kaufman said.

The article is based on a series of studies involving a total of more than 300 participants that were carried out while the two researchers worked together at Tiltfactor, a Dartmouth game design lab.

Participants in the studies were faced with tasks designed to test whether they were thinking on a more detailed or abstract level. The information in these tests was presented “virtually identically,” Kaufman said – just on different platforms. The implications could be pretty serious given the increasing amount of Researchers: Screens change how time we all spend glued to our digital you think about what you read devices, he added.

You probably spend a lot of time staring “Over time, it might lead to an evolution at screens – but all that computer time of thought that’s less inclined to look at may be making you miss the big picture, the bigger picture,” he said.

– Wire reports new research has found.

Google engineers will join the automaker’s engineers at a Michigan facility to collaborate on designing the van so Google’s self-driving sensors easily can be integrated. Google has used Toyota Priuses and Lexus SUVs for test purposes, but those vehicles were modified after production with cameras and sensors that added bulk and protruded from the vehicle’s form.

Google portrayed the selection of a minivan as a way to test a larger vehicle that will be easier for passengers to enter and exit. Previously it has tested sedans and SUVs. Google executives previously have suggested the possibility of offering the self-driving technology as a service, rather than the traditional vehicle ownership model. A minivan that seats seven passengers would offer flexibility if Google wants to launch a taxi service.

And as more passengers ride in a vehicle at once, Google could lower what it charges customers.

Striking Verizon workers to return on Wednesday

FACES & PLACES

Tentative agreement has been reached

Advocate Health Care and Walgreens recently opened one of its 56 Chicago-area clinics in McHenry, 3925 W. Elm St. The official grand opening ceremony took place May 18, and attendees included Advocate Health Care President Karen Lambert, McHenry County Board member Jim Heisler, city of McHenry Mayor Sue Low, McHenry Area Chamber President Kay Bates, Walgreens representatives and well-wishers from Advocate staff and chamber ambassadors. The partnership will further provide access to health care for McHenry residents.

Owner David Kahre, general manager Mark Robitske and district manager Antonia Uriostegui recently celebrated the grand opening of Denny’s at 13240 S. Route 47 in Huntley.

They were joined by Huntley chamber members, Huntley Village President Chuck Sass, other village officials and community members to celebrate their ribbon-cutting ceremony.

NEW YORK – Nearly 40,000 striking Verizon employees will return to work Wednesday after reaching a tentative contract agreement that includes 1,300 new call center jobs and nearly 11 percent in raises over four years but also makes health care plan changes to save the company money, the company and unions said Monday.

The pact, subject to approval by union members, stands to end one of the largest strikes in the U.S. in recent years.

Workers and Verizon Communications Inc. had reached an agreement in principle Friday, but hadn’t released details or a date for the workers’ return.

The strike began in mid-April. The Communications Workers of America and International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers unions, which both represent the strikers, called the deal a victory for American workers.

“We are turning the tide from cutbacks against working people to building a stronger labor movement and strengthening the power of working Americans,” Dennis G. Trainor, vice president of the union’s District 1 in the Northeast, said in a statement.

The IBEW said it protected American jobs amid concern about concern about work moving overseas. New York-based Verizon Communications Inc. said it was a good deal for workers, customers and the telecom giant alike.

“This will allow our business to be more flexible and competitive,” chief administrative officer Marc Reed said in a statement.

Union members will vote on the deal after returning to work.

Besides the raises and new call center jobs, the tentative agreement includes $1,250 in signing bonuses and health care reimbursements for new workers, a 25 percent increase in the number of unionized crews maintaining Verizon’s utility poles in New York state, and three 1 percent increases in pensions, which Verizon had proposed to freeze, the CWA said.

It also includes a first contract for wireless retail store workers, affect-

ing 70.

The deal also entails changes that Verizon says will save significant money, such as adopting Medicare Advantage plans – private health insurance contracted with the government-sponsored Medicare program – rather than costlier insurance. The tentative agreement also increases flexibility to route customer service calls from one call center to another, the company said.

Installers, customer service employees, repairmen and other landline and cable workers in nine Eastern states and Washington, D.C., have worked without a contract since August.

During the strike, other workers have stepped in, but there were some delays in installations of Verizon’s Fios fiber-optic service.

The unions said they were striking because Verizon wanted to freeze pensions, make layoffs easier and rely more on contract workers. Verizon said it had high health care costs for its unionized workers, a group that has shrunk as Verizon sold off large chunks of its wireline unit and focused on its mobile business, which was not unionized. It also wanted the union workers, around one-fifth of its U.S. workforce, to agree to move around to different regions when needed, which the union opposed.

The strike made its way into the presidential campaign.

Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton visited strikers outside a Verizon store in midtown Manhattan, and rival Bernie Sanders cheered workers on a picket line in Brooklyn.

But the walkout also was complicated by allegations that strikers in Delaware intimidated and harassed non union replacement workers.

Union locals said any problems were isolated incidents not sanctioned by labor leaders; a Delaware judge said Thursday he felt the unions had “a causal role” but declined a Verizon request to hold them in contempt of a court order on permissible strike activities.

Verizon workers last went on strike in August 2011, when about 45,000 were off the job for about two weeks.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff flated at the blockage, the stent also expands. The balloon is then deflated and removed from the body. However, the expanded stent is left in place, keeping the plaque squashed against the wall of the artery and allowing good blood flow through the artery. Most stents are coated with a drug that helps to prevent re-narrowing of the artery.

Minor risks of angioplasty include discomfort and bleeding at the insertion site. Rare but more serious risks (such as a heart attack) occur in about 3 percent of people undergoing the procedure. And to prevent blood clots at the stent site, people need to take anti-clotting medications for up to a year afterward.

As a result, cardiologists typically don’t do angioplasties with stents unless an artery is at least 70 percent blocked.

That’s the point at which the benefit of stenting outweighs the risks.

There are many ways to slow the growth of plaques – in your case, to keep the plaque from increasing from 50 percent to 70 percent blockage. If you are not already doing so, ask your doctor if you should be taking medications, such as aspirin, and cholesterol- or blood-pressure-lowering drugs. You also should exercise regularly and eat a heart-healthy diet. Finally, if you smoke, quit.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

Dear Dr. K: A test showed a 50 percent blockage in one of my coronary arteries.

That sounds pretty bad to me. But the cardiologist said I didn’t need an angioplasty and stent. Why? Dear Reader: Coronary arteries send needed blood to the heart muscle. That blood flow can be blocked by cholesterol-rich plaques of atherosclerosis. When the blockage seriously reduces blood flow, it increases your risk of a heart attack. An angioplasty and stents can be helpful for restoring blood flow, but the procedure is not risk-free.

Every time a doctor considers whether to order a test or a treatment, he or she balances the likely benefit against the likely risk. When an artery feeding the heart muscle is blocked “just” 50 percent, there still is good blood flow to the heart. So the benefit of reducing that blockage is small.

But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let me describe how an angioplasty and stent work. First, the doctor pushes a soft tube (a catheter) from an artery in your leg or arm up to your heart. Inside the catheter is a thinner catheter that has an inflatable balloon near its tip. And inside that catheter is an even thinner wire with a soft tip.

Once the catheter reaches the heart, the doctor guides the wire down the artery until the wire tip is beyond the blockage and the balloon is right where the blockage is. Then the doctor inflates the balloon. This squashes the plaque against the wall of the artery, making the inside of the artery wider. As a result, blood flows through the area more easily.

Around the catheter, surrounding the balloon, is a tiny, expandable mesh wire tube: a stent. When the balloon is in-

es. Because she is a “dear friend,” the first would be to make an exception in Samantha’s case and level with her about the fact you’re homosexual and have no interest in a close relationship with any female because you relate better to men. During this truth session you also should say her demonstrations of affection and apparent need for emotional and physical closeness make you uncomfortable.

(It’s surprising she hasn’t picked up on it by now because of your body language.)

The alternative is to end this friendship without giving her an explanation. Either way, expect Samantha to be hurt and disappointed, but if you explain being gay is simply part of who you are and has no bearing on her, she might be less so.

Dear Abby: The year I graduated from high school I witnessed a horrific car accident that claimed the lives of five of my classmates.

Since then, I have been involved in two accidents (I was in the passenger seat both times) and a number of close calls. This has caused me to develop extreme anxiety about driving – both as the driver and as a passenger.

I work 50 miles from where I live. Every day is stressful because of the drive. Moving is not an option. Is there anything I can do to help my anxiety? – Too Many Close Calls Dear Too Many: Treatment for your problem is available. Consult your physician and ask for a referral to a psychologist who specializes in patients who suffer from phobias.

D R E G S

I’m a 51-year-old gay male. I have a sweet, dear friend I’ll call “Samantha” who is slightly older. The problem is, she wants more than friendship. She insists on spending time with me and calls me daily. She hugs me repeatedly when she goes to leave, and kisses my neck or cheek – whichever she can get to.

Samantha has touched me in a way that makes me uncomfortable. She places herself so her body touches my hand or arm. When she does, I quickly remove it. She says I remind her of her brother, but I’m not feeling a sibling relationship here. She invites herself over and gets mad if I tell her I have other plans.

I don’t think I should have to discuss my orientation with anyone – including her. It is my personal business. I have never done anything to make Samantha think I have an interest in her. I have spoken to her and made it clear I’m not interested in a relationship with her. I have told her not to stop by without calling first. If she calls and I don’t answer, she still shows up at my door saying she called. What can I do? – End Of My Rope

The only Cubs starter with a longer season-opening streak was Jim McCormick, who started 16-0 in 1886.

GIRLS SOCCER: CLASS 3A BARRINGTON SUPERSECTIONAL

‘Ugh, Barrington again’ Fillies have ended Red Raiders’ season in 6 of the past 7 seasons

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com The last 363 days have led the Huntley girls soccer team right back to where their season ended June 2, 2015.

Huntley (21-3-2) faces Barrington at 6 p.m. Tuesday in a Class 3A Barrington Supersectional. The winner advances to Friday’s state semifinals. Huntley never has reached a state semifinal.

“It is kind of like, ‘Ugh, Barrington again,’ but you know you want to keep playing them so we can finally beat them and have that sweet victory feel,” senior midfielder and captain Brianna Wilder said.

The Fillies have ended Huntley’s season six of the past seven years – three times in sectional semifinals, twice in sectional finals and once in a supersectional. Last year, they met in a supersectional at Barrington, and despite an early Huntley lead, the Fillies rallied to win, 3-1.

Before that game last year, Huntley coach Kris Grabner called Barrington “not the monkey on our back, they’re

Scoreboard Barrington vs. Huntley, 6 p.m. Tuesday • Winner advances to play either New Trier or St. Charles North in a state semifinal at 5 p.m. Friday King Kong on the Empire State Building.” And that was before the Fillies came from behind to end another Huntley season.

On Sunday, Grabner laughed and said it almost wouldn’t have felt right to get this far and not see Barrington.

“It would feel great to beat them,” Grabner said. “It’s one of those things, I’ve talked about for a long time that I believe at some point we will win a state championship, and I really do believe that. I’ve always told the boys and the girls, I don’t know if it’ll be the boys, I don’t know if it’ll be the girls, I couldn’t tell you what year, but I’m confident that somewhere along the line we’re going to win a state championship.

“So that means that seems like, no matter what, we’re going to have to

beat Barrington at some point. So we need to accept that and just take care of business.”

Huntley reached its third consecutive supersectional with 2-1 wins over South Elgin in the sectional semifinal and Crystal Lake South in the sectional final.

“The big stress was on them (Saturday) to try to get past South, who had beat us – beat us bad, to be honest – to come out and play and get to this point,” Granber said. “That’s what we’ve talked about all year, is let’s get to this point and give ourselves a shot, because once you’re at this point, anything can happen. ... I think the experience they’ve had, and at this point I feel like everyone’s just expecting Barrington to win, that takes the pressure off us and allows us to go out and play.

That’s the best thing we can have, let’s just go out and play our game.”

In four postseason games, Barrington has scored 18 goals (12 in a regional semifinal blowout) and conceded only one.

Grabner said Huntley has talked about being stronger defending balls in the air, an aspect of the game where Barrington dominated them in the past, last year scoring both of its supersectional goal through headers. Wilder said the Red Raiders will need to stress communication and intensity.

Crystal Lake Central senior first baseman Amy Walsh catches the ball for an out during the Class 4A McHenry Regional softball final against Prairie Ridge on Saturday at McHenry High School West Campus. The Tigers won, 4-2. pitching, hitting and defense (274 runs for, 78 runs against entering the final).

“I don’t think [Prairie Ridge] expected it at all,” said senior Amy Walsh, who came through with a tworun, two-out hit for Central as part of a four-run, second inning. “We believed in ourselves. ... We came out swinging, and they didn’t expect it.”

Central’s defense played a near-perfect game against Prairie Ridge, and senior pitcher Savanah Frank carried over her performance in the regional semifinals – a 2-0 win and one-hitter against McHenry – to slow down a Wolves offense that clobbered 39 home runs this season.

“Coming in, our confidence was not as high as we wanted,” said Frank, who has allowed only one earned run and six hits over 14 innings in two post-

season starts. “We knew McHenry was very good; and Prairie Ridge was very good. I had to come out strong for my team and be a leader.”

Strombom noted that Frank, who has 111 strikeouts in 1111/3 innings and seven of the team’s nine home runs this year, wasn’t overpowering Saturday, but her command in the playoffs has been pinpoint.

“She’s hitting her spots so well, it’s on those hitters to swing on a pitch they don’t want to swing,” Strombom said. “That’s where you want your pitcher to be. She didn’t strike a ton of people out. She made our defense play, but our defense is ready to play, so it all fit together.”

Central has had its ups and downs, but things are coming together in the postseason. Cruz, Paaske, Jenna Ward, Kayla Duda and Aly Proper – all firstyear varsity players who started Saturday – have stepped up, among others, for a team that is blending at the right time.

Iwamoto, who had a key defensive stop against Prairie Ridge, said the Tigers’ confidence is “through the roof” entering a Belvidere North Sectional semifinal against DeKalb at 4:30 p.m.

Wednesday.

DeKalb (23-6), one of two top seeds in the sectional, defeated Belvidere North, 3-1, to capture its fifth regional title in six years. The Barbs are led by left-handed senior Morgan Newport, who had 13 strikeouts in the regional-clinching win. She’ll play next year at Illinois.

According to the IHSA record books, Central never has won a sectional title. It will take two more wins against some of the top competition to get there, but the feeling of winning the school’s first regional title since 2002 has the Tigers believing big things.

Huntley has scored 17 goals of its own in the postseason while conceding four.

Jakubowski, one of 12 seniors on the roster, has led the way with eight goals in the postseason.

“I think it helps a lot to have the experience; we have most of the team come back from last year that got to play in that supersectional game and all the big games,” Jakubowski said. “I think we all know pretty much what it takes.”

After a 4-2 win over Prairie Ridge on Saturday in a Class 4A McHenry Regional final, Crystal Lake Central softball coach Brian Strombom joked he would have to check the wall at the fieldhouse for the last time the Tigers won a regional title.

“It’s been one where we’ve had some good teams, but we haven’t been able to get over the top,” said Strombom, in his 10th season. “We’ve struggled. We’ve had lineup changes. ... We’ve had things we had to accommodate for. A lot of injuries, and we didn’t play our best.”

Central’s unlikely win against Prairie Ridge, which had one of the area’s top offenses, averaging more than nine runs a game, and the two-time defending Fox Valley Conference Fox Division champion, clinched the Tigers’ first regional championship since 2002.

To put that in perspective, freshmen Jessica Cruz and Morgann Paaske, who both started and played key roles Saturday, were only toddlers when Central last won a regional title ... and the first iPod had just come out.

This year, the Tigers (16-17) limped into the postseason with six straight losses, clearly not playing up to their potential.

“In this regional, we’ve played our two best games (of the season), without question,” Strombom said. “It’s just really nice to see after all we’ve gone through, we can come together and play like we always thought we could.”

Central, seeded fifth in the sub-sectional, lost both regular-season games against second-seeded Prairie Ridge by a combined score of 21-1, finishing 5-7 in the FVC Fox after a 9-3 record in 2015.

The Wolves (26-5), meanwhile, entered the final with seven straight wins and 11 of 12 overall. They looked poised to win their first regional title since 2012, with a dangerous combination of

4 NJCAA DIVISION II

BASEBALL WORLD SERIES

MCC falls behind early in defeat NORTHWEST HERALD The McHenry County College and Brunswick Community College (North Carolina) baseball teams combined for 22 hits, including 10 extra-base hits, but the Scots were outscored, 12-8, Monday in an NJCAA Division II World Series third-round game at David Allen Memorial Park in Enid, Oklahoma.

Brunswick starter Phillip Simpson struggled, allowing six runs in 31/3 innings, but the bullpen gave up two runs and the offense banged out 12 to pick up the slack and secure the win for Brunswick.

Brunswick came out swinging, scoring five runs in the first inning to jump ahead of the Scots (50-12 overall, 1-2 in the tournament) early. Brunswick scored in the first on a three-run home run by Nathan Kuester, a wild pitch and a sacrifice fly by Kyle Mehl.

Markel Jones had three RBIs on two hits for Brunswick. He singled in the sixth inning and doubled in the seventh.

Tyler Jones took the loss for the Scots. He allowed seven runs in 11/3 innings, walked three and struck out none.

Brunswick pushed across three runs in both the second inning and seventh. In the second, Brunswick scored on a two-run double by Nolan Clenney, scoring Jones and Marshall Smith.

Two runs in the bottom of the third helped the Scots close its deficit to 8-2.

An RBI single by Casey Oliver and a wild pitch triggered McHenry’s comeback. Finally, Simpson induced an inning-ending ground out from Matt Tegtmeier.

After pushing across four runs in the bottom of the fourth, McHenry faced only an 8-6 deficit. A home run

by Clark Brinkman gave the Scots life.

Finally, Trey Timmerman got Brett Stratinsky to strike out to end the threat.

One run in the bottom of the eighth helped McHenry close its deficit to 12-7.

A solo home run by Nick Heidenthal fueled McHenry’s comeback. Jonathan Carpenter ended the inning by getting Oliver to ground out.

One run in the bottom of the ninth helped the Scots close its deficit to 12-8.

A solo home run by Cullen Mayhew set off the Scots’ rally. McHenry’s Nick Vasic flew out to end the game.

Fans cheer as Golden State guard Stephen Curry yells after the Warriors beat the Thunder, 96-88, in Game 7 of the Western Conference finals Monday night in Oakland, Calif.

NBA PLAYOFFS: WARRIORS 96, THUNDER 88

Warriors back in Finals Curry & Co. overcome 3-1 deficit, set up rematch with Cavs

By JANIE McCAULEY The Associated Press

OAKLAND, Calif. – MVP Stephen Curry knocked down yet another 3-pointer in the waning moments, pulled his jersey up into his mouth and yelled to the rafters in triumph once more.

A special, record-setting season saved for the defending champs, with a memorable comeback added to the long list of accomplishments.

Splash Brothers Curry and Klay Thompson carried the 73-win Warriors right back to the NBA Finals, as Golden State rallied from a 3-1 series deficit to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder, 96-88, Monday night in Game 7 of the Western Conference finals.

Now, Curry and Co. are playing for another NBA title – just as they planned since Day 1 of training camp in late September.

Bring on LeBron James once more.

“We survived by the skin of our teeth,” coach Steve Kerr said. “We were able to pull it out, and we’re moving on.”

Curry scored 36 points with seven 3-pointers to finish with an NBA-record 32 in a seven-game series, while Thompson added 21 points and six 3s, two days after his record 11 3-pointers led a Game 6 comeback that sent the series home to raucous Oracle Arena for one more.

The Warriors became the 10th team to rally from a 3-1 deficit and win a postseason series. They return to the NBA Finals for a rematch with James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, who lost the 2015 title in six games as Golden State captured its first championship in 40 years.

Game 1 is Thursday night in Oakland.

His signature mouthpiece dangling out and the game ball cradled in his left hand, Curry pumped his right arm as yellow confetti fell through Oracle Arena once the final buzzer sounded.

“This is who he is. Having a clutch performance in a Game 7, that’s Steph

Curry,” Kerr said.

With the Thunder trailing, 90-86, Serge Ibaka fouled Curry on a 3-point try with 1:18 to go and the shot clock running out. Curry made all three free throws, then a 3-pointer to seal it.

And Golden State’s beloved “Strength In Numbers” catchphrase coined by Coach of the Year Kerr was needed in every way on this night to do it.

“It took a lot of resiliency,” Thompson said. “We’ve been doing it all year.”

Andre Iguodala joined the starting lineup for just the second time all season and the 2015 NBA Finals MVP hung tough against Kevin Durant, who scored 27 points on 10-for-19 shooting. Shaun Livingston’s driving, one-handed dunk late in the third provided a big lift off the Warriors bench.

Oklahoma City won Game 1, 108102, at deafening Oracle Arena, so Golden State never envisioned this one coming easily. Russell Westbrook had 19 points, 13 assists and seven rebounds for the Thunder.

“It hurts losing, especially being up 3 games to 1,” Durant said.

Hammel leaves before 3rd inning with leg cramps

Cubs relief pitcher Travis Wood delivers during the third inning Monday against the Dodgers at Wrigley Field. The Cubs won, 2-0.

“I was sitting on the couch, but it was early,” said left-hander Travis Wood (3-0), who needed only 43 pitches (only eight balls) to retire his 12 batters. “Luckily, we have the live feed in there. So I was in the dugout before I was needed.”

That was all it took.

“I looked in the dugout and I saw him,” Maddon said of the moment he

Maddon regrets not serving his country

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

CHICAGO – When Cubs manager Joe Maddon thinks about regrets on days like Monday, it’s not about the time he chose to pitch to Paul Goldschmidt in that loss at Arizona last month or the time(s) he let Rick Sutcliffe talk him into one more.

“The one regret I have in my own personal life is the fact that I never did serve (in the military),” Maddon said before the Cubs’ Memorial Day game against the Dodgers on Monday.

Maddon, whose father, Joe Sr., and uncles served in World War II, went straight from high AP photo school to the football and baseCubs right fielder Ben Zobrist high-fives manager Joe ball teams at Lafayette College Maddon in the dugout after scoring on a Jason Heyward in Pennsylvania. single in the fifth inning against the Dodgers on Monday “At the time it was very unat Wrigley Field. popular, the Vietnam War was

going on, and I was in college,” he said. “And at the time you really thought you were very fortunate to not have to do that. But, retrospectively, that’d be the one life experience that I missed out on that I’d wish I’d had.”

His dad, who saw combat in Europe and didn’t talk about that part of the experience, family members say, was happy to see him play football instead.

“My grandparents had four or five at the same time in World War II. That’s just kind of nuts to think about,” said Maddon, who listened to Memorial Day tributes on the radio on the way to the ballpark Monday.

“The fact that they did that, we’re all very fortunate,” he said. “I’m driving down Clark Street, and I’m watching everybody having a good time because people did that before us.”

al League with 6.4 innings a start until Monday’s shortest of the year, and it leads the majors with a 2.47 ERA. If Hammel needs to miss a start to fully recover, Wood – the former AllStar starter who lost his starting job a year ago this month – said he’s ready to step in.

Maddon said he would go to Wood or right-hander Trevor Cahill, the two most stretched out among the Cubs’ four long relievers/backup starters.

Either way, Wood’s value to a team with big October ideas got a showcase holiday moment Monday only six months after he was the object of speculation over a possible trade or even nontender move.

Since moving to the bullpen, he has been used as everything from a one-batter matchup lefty to a spot starter.

“As a starter, he had some really good outings, but as a left-handed relief pitcher, I think he can pitch for the next 10 years,” Maddon said. “He’s such a good athlete. He gets right-handers out also. He does so many things well. And he’s just starting to hit his stride right now.”

Wood seems to have embraced the role: “Going to the bullpen and everything [was an adjustment],” he said.

“But they call your name, it’s still pitching.”

And these days he even gets his own couch for part of the game.

CHICAGO – The Cubs are rolling along with such force these days that they lost their starting pitcher to a leg cramp two innings into Monday’s game and still held the Dodgers to one hit in a 2-0 victory at Wrigley Field.

“I blew the no-hitter,” said starter Jason Jason Hammel Hammel, whose right hamstring cramped as he tried to warm up for the third inning. “It makes me feel real small.”

Hammel and manager Joe Maddon said they’re confident the injury isn’t more severe than a cramp. His status is to be evaluated again Tuesday.

Whether a missed start or even a disabled list move would slow the top-ranked rotation in the majors going forward, on this day the Cubs simply plugged in a pitcher they found chilling on a clubhouse couch to get four perfect innings of relief and a victory.

determined Hammel was done and peered in from the mound for a replacement. “I pointed at him and he said, ‘Me?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, let’s go.’

That’s how his day began.

“He was spectacular.”

With their sixth consecutive victory, the Cubs improved to 21 games over .500 as they reached the traditional Memorial Day mile marker of the season without much more concern on the roster than whether Hammel’s sore hamstring is anything worse than a bad cramp.

“At this particular moment, we think he’s going to be fine for his next start,” Maddon said.

Hammel, who missed a start and was hampered much of the second half last year with a left leg injury, felt the right one cramp while warming up for the third inning, grabbed at the leg and went to the ground. After being seen by the trainer, he threw more warmups, stopped and shook the leg, then threw another and was done.

“Obviously, we’ll wait and see how it feels [Tuesday], but I’m very optimistic that it was just a cramp,” he said.

“I honestly felt like I drank the equivalent of Lake Michigan last night, because once it starts to get pretty humid and hot here I always hydrate really well.

“I really don’t understand why I cramped.”

PARIS – Not so much the French Open as the French closed.

For the first time in 16 years, unrelenting rain Monday washed out a full day of play at the only Grand Slam tennis venue without a retractable roof over its show court, clogging the schedule with unfinished and postponed matches and prompting the frustrated tournament director to plead – again – for a roof as soon as possible.

“Our roof is a necessity,” Guy Forget said, as players were sent back to their hotels and thousands of would-be spectators told to apply for refunds for their unused tickets.

“I’m a bit annoyed today, to say the least.”

Chopped and changed plans to modernize Roland Garros now call for a retractable roof by 2020 over Court Philippe Chatrier, as part of a modernization of the cramped claycourt venue in the west of Paris. But opposition and legal action from local residents and environmental activists has slowed the ambitious project, which would expand Roland Garros into botanical gardens next door. Tournament organizers hope a ruling expected in September from the Council of State, France’s highest administrative authority, will allow work to proceed.

Gasol considering skipping Olympics because of Zika

MADRID – Pau Gasol is considering not playing at the Olympics because of the Zika virus.

The Spanish basketball player said Monday there is too much uncertainty about the situation in Brazil, and anyone going to Rio de Janeiro for the games should “think about” whether it’s worth the risk.

The Bulls player said other Spanish athletes also have expressed their concerns about the virus and also are considering skipping the games.

“It wouldn’t surprise me to see some athletes deciding not to participate in the games to avoid putting their health and the health of their families at risk,” Gasol said, adding he was among the athletes making such considerations.

Mexican soccer player overpowered kidnappers

CIUDAD VICTORIA, Mexico – About 24 hours after he was kidnapped, Mexican soccer star Alan Pulido found himself alone with one of his captors and saw his chance.

He wrestled away the man’s pistol and his cellphone and dialed Mexico’s emergency number. Within minutes, he was free.

An official summary report of three calls to an emergency operator obtained by The Associated Press shows the 25-yearold forward for Olympiakos in the Greek league threatened and beat his captor while on the phone, demanding to be told where they were.

and no letup forecast, tournament organizers announced in the early afternoon that there would be no play at all for the first time since May 30, 2000.

“We knew today was going to be horrible, and it went beyond what we had imagined. That’s why we sent back the players so early,” Forget said.

If the weather breaks Tuesday, matches will start three hours earlier than initially planned and be spread over more courts. Despite forecasts of more rain, Forget said he is “pretty positive” there will be play.

The schedule for Tuesday now has top-ranked Novak Djokovic against 14th-seeded Roberto Bautista Agut in the first match on Chatrier, playing for a place in the quarterfinals.

White Sox pitcher Jose Quintana reacts after grounding out in the sixth inning against the New York Mets on Monday at Citi Field in New York. The Sox lost, 1-0. out and hit a soft roller to second in his first two at-bats. “You’re able to get a guy in scoring position and ... if you get two, you’re looking good.”

Giving an out away with a bunt, particularly with a good hitter, is a strategy that opens itself to second-guessing.

Frazier seemed aware of it having seen his Twitter feed after the game.

“I think it’s the right choice,” Frazier said. “I’m there to get RBIs. A lot of people complain he’s bunting. No. I’m the

3-4 hitter. I’m supposed to get those runs in. He did his job, got the guys over.”

Moments later, Neil Walker led off the bottom of the seventh with a home run to break a scoreless tie. Quintana said he let a fastball meant for the outside corner over too much of the plate.

“I just tried to not give up runs,” Quintana said. “It was a close game, and wait for the hitters to come back. But Harvey threw really well, and he got the win.”

Quintana pitched seven innings and

NEW YORK – Jimmy Rollins has been around and seen it all. Played on a last-place team and a World Series champion.

He has played under a variety of manager types, including Terry Francona, Larry Bowa and Charlie Manuel with the Phillies and Robin Ventura in his first year with the White Sox, and knows turning tables over in the clubhouse doesn’t get results on the field.

People who want to see that “watch a lot of baseball movies from the ’80s and ’90s,” Rollins said Monday. “Do those things happen? Yeah, but everybody is like (raising one eyebrow) ‘There you go again.’ ” When teams are spiraling downward as the Sox are – they lost for the 15th time in 19 games Monday – no pep

talk or magic words will fix things, the 37-year-old former MVP said.

“Each individual, when their time is called, they have to perform and find a way to do it,” Rollins said.

“It’s psychological. You talk to guys, see where their mind is at. Maybe hit a reset button for some of the guys. Encourage.

Make sure everybody keeps things in perspective. It’s been a rough Jimmy Rollins stretch. Fortunately, it’s now and not September.”

The Sox were 17-8 in April but they fell to 10-17 in May, and if their seven-game losing streak isn’t halted, they very well could be a couple of games under .500 before they return home next week.

“When the calendar turned to May,

we started losing traction and put on the slippery tires,” Rollins said. “Fortunately, we were able to build enough of a lead that, losing a thousand games in a row it feels like, we’re still right in the thick of things.

“But you can’t stay in that valley too long. We’ve been in it too long.”

Shuck called up, Kahnle optioned: Outfielder J.B. Shuck was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte, and right-hander Tommy Kahnle optioned to Charlotte.

With center fielder Austin Jackson sidelined by turf toe on his left foot, Shuck started in center field and batted fifth. Ventura is hoping to avoid a disabled list stint for Jackson (13 for 28 in the past eight games).

On Q: Jose Quintana has allowed four or fewer runs in each of his past 34 starts, tied for the longest active streak in the majors with the Cubs’ Jake Arrieta.

NEW YORK – The White Sox found a different way to fall in their seventh consecutive loss Monday afternoon at Citi Field, this time producing only two hits in a 1-0 loss to the New York Mets.

Matt Harvey, Addison Reed and Jeurys Famila combined on the shutout, ruining another exceptional performance by Sox All-Star candidate Jose Quintana (5-5, 2.13 ERA) as the Sox (27-25) continued to free fall with their 15th loss in 19 games.

Harvey (4-7), coming off a third straight loss that some thought could jeopardize his spot in the Mets’ rotation, retired the first 13 Sox batters on a muggy Memorial Day afternoon – including six strikeouts in that stretch – and faced the minimum through six innings before getting into his first jam in the seventh.

After Adam Eaton walked and Jose Abreu singled Eaton to second to start the inning, manager Robin Ventura had third-place hitter Melky Cabrera bunt them to third and second, but cleanup man Todd Frazier, with the infield back conceding the tying run, fouled out to first baseman Wil Flores. J.B. Shuck then grounded out to shortstop.

“With the way both guys were pitching, you figured one run was going to do it, so you’re trying to get him in scoring position,” Ventura said of the bunt strategy with Cabrera, who had struck

allowed one run on six hits and one walk while striking out seven. He lowered his ERA to 2.13, which leads the American League. A “pretty much normal” start for him, catcher Alex Avila said.

“He keeps going out there and pitching good games,” Avila said.

The Sox were coming off a three-game sweep in Kansas City in which the Royals rallied for three wins against a Sox bullpen that served up 14 runs in an unforgettable series. The Sox are far removed from the team that got off to a 23-10 start.

“When we were winning, it seemed like a different guy every day,” said Frazier, frustrated by his 1-for-22 slump and having what he said were two good fastballs to hit. “Now it’s the opposite: a different guy every day not getting the job done. It was me today.

“We talk about it all the time: Do your job. And I didn’t do it.”

The Sox, who have won one series in their past nine and have lost six in a row, must now turn to their fourth and fifth starters, Mat Latos and Miguel Gonzalez, in the last two games of this interleague series. Left-hander Steven Matz (7-1, 2.36 ERA) and Jacob deGrom (3-1, 3.07) will go for the Mets, so it isn’t getting any easier for the Sox. “When you lose, it seems like when it rains, it pours,” Frazier said. “You don’t want to fall in that trap. We’re playing our tails off. Every scenario, how to lose, it just keeps coming up. It’s a crazy game, man. It’s frustrating.”

Bettman not bullish about participation in 2018 Olympics

STANLEY CUP FINAL: PENGUINS 3, SHARKS 2

Pittsburgh edges San Jose in Game 1

By WILL GRAVES

The Associated Press PITTSBURGH – Nick Bonino looks the part. Thatchy beard that juts out well below his chinstrap. Nose a bit askew. The rugged forward has etched out a career making a living in tight spaces, putting his body in places on the ice that aren’t for the meek.

Those instincts, honed from years of finding order in the middle of chaos, lifted the Pittsburgh Penguins to the early lead in the Stanley Cup Final.

Bonino darted to the net and knocked in Kris Letang’s centering pass with 2:33 remaining, lifting the Penguins to a 3-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks in Game 1 on Monday night.

Pittsburgh recovered after blowing an early two-goal lead and spoiled San Jose’s long-awaited debut on the league’s biggest stage. Game 2 is Wednesday night in Pittsburgh.

Letang and Carl Hagelin took turns digging the puck out of the corner behind the San Jose net when Letang emerged with it and slipped it to Bonino, who collected himself and flicked it past Martin Jones’ blocker for his fourth goal of the playoffs.

“Tanger put it right on my stick,” Bonino said. “It was a shot that wasn’t my hardest shot by any means, but I kind of found a way to flip it over him.”

Bonino has spent much of the past two months as the heady, understated center on Pittsburgh’s hottest line while

playing between hard-shooting Phil Kessel and Hagelin. Dubbed “HBK” – a chant that occasionally greets them when they flip over the boards and onto the ice – they have powered the Penguins to their first Cup Final in seven years. Yet it was Bonino, whose hockey IQ is considered his greatest attribute by Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan, who scored the group’s biggest goal of the postseason.

“He does all the things right and found himself in a great position and capitalized on it,” Pittsburgh forward Chris Kunitz said. “Any time you’re in the slot, get him the puck. It seems like we find a way to win when he scores.”

Rookies Bryan Rust and Conor Sheary also scored for the Penguins, but Rust left in the third period after absorbing a shot to the head from San Jose’s Patrick Marleau. Matt Murray – who, like Rust and Sheary, spent a significant amount of time this season with the team’s American Hockey League affiliate in Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton – finished with 24 saves.

Jones made 38 stops but couldn’t get over in time on Bonino’s knuckler.

The Penguins threw 41 shots at Jones, the most he has faced in a regulation game during the playoffs. Marleau and Tomas Hertl scored during San Jose’s dominant second period, but the Sharks spent a large portion of the third period on their heels, and their dynamic power play failed to record a single shot when Ben Lovejoy went to the penalty box with 2:09 to play.

PITTSBURGH – The NHL remains open to continuing to send its players to the Olympics, just so long as it doesn’t have to foot the bill.

“Our teams are not interested in paying for the privilege” of Olympic participation, commissioner Gary Bettman said Monday before Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Pittsburgh Penguins and San Jose Sharks.

NHL players have been a fixture at the Olympics since the 1998 Games in Nagano, Japan, thanks in large part to significant financial support Gary Bettman from the International Olympic Committee and the International Ice Hockey Federation, which have handled most of the travel costs, accommodations and insurance for league owners.

Bettman pointed to IOC President Thomas Bach’s stated resistance to providing subsidies for any sport as a major stumbling block to having the league stop in the middle of the 201718 season so more than 100 players can head to Pyeongchang, South Korea, for the 2018 Games.

Bettman said if the issue remains unresolved “I have no doubt it will have significant impact on our decision.” He described the potential cost as “many, many millions of dollars.

This is no small ticket item.”

The Olympics has helped the NHL

expand its global footprint while providing a series of iconic moments, including Sidney Crosby’s golden goal on home soil in the 2010 final and T.J. Oshie’s shootout performance while leading the U.S. to a victory over host Russia in Sochi two years ago.

Yet with the NHL-backed World Cup of Hockey coming to North America this fall, the league might no longer need the Olympics as much as it once did. Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly declined to speculate whether the World Cup would become a more frequent event if the NHL pulled out of the Winter Games.

“The World Cup is not going to be an isolated event, it’s something we’re committed to,” Daly said. “It’s part of a series we want to do, events we want to create that adds to international presence of NHL.” The biggest issue concerns insurance premiums required to cover NHL players during Olympic competition.

Owners want protection should one of their players get hurt during the games, an injury that could have both short- and long-term ramifications on the team and the player’s future. With salaries skyrocketing, providing coverage for 150-plus NHL players is a major financial commitment, one the IOC and IIHF appear to be in no rush to cover.

There remain other issues the league would have to work out with the NHL Players’ Association, and Bettman said there have been no “substantive” talks with the union about 2018, although if the financial specifics with the IOC and IIHF aren’t worked out, it probably won’t matter.
