Good morning, McHenry County ...

Contrasting responses to gun violence The finger-pointing and politicking that tends to follow a tragedy like the repugnant mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, can be frustrating.

In part, we’ve become so accustomed to these types of tragedies that the responses are predictable: Some people will talk about gun control.

Others say we should have more guns. Still others will point to immigration policy, and raise the specter of “radical Islam” and its desire to destroy our society and its values. That includes our society’s inclusiveness of gay, lesbian and transgender people, who were targeted.

Of course, all of this also is playing out against the backdrop of a presidential election, so the Hillary-haters and Trump-bashers are putting their spin on it, too, Then there’s the middle-road response, the Buddhist sort of third path that urges us to look inside ourselves and be the change that we want.

Maybe one day our government will do something. Or maybe it will do several things – so that people of the left and the right can claim victory – and see if they help.

For now, at least, we’re still reacting. At least some people are pointing out what they think is allowing this phenomenon of mass slaughter to be repeated again and again, either by people who become inspired by ISIS or twisted by hate and mental illness, and the weapons they are allowed to carry.

As long as we’re still reacting, there’s still a chance for something to be done, that this problem can be, it not solved, at least alleviated in

WHERE IT’S AT

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Eric Olson some way. Maybe somehow the “soft targets” in our society can be safer. The sad day will be when this happens and we don’t blame anyone or anything. When we just collectively shrug and say, well, that’s how it is. Kind of like we do with the violence in Chicago.

On Monday, the Chicago Tribune reported that “Forty-four people were shot in Chicago over the weekend, seven of them fatally, bringing the total number of gun violence victims in the city this year to more than 1,650.”

One of the victims was a 5-year-old girl who was shot in the foot while playing at a graduation party.

It’s only right to be appalled at the slaughter of the innocent in Orlando. People should continue to push for something to be done. People should stand in solidarity with the LGBT community targeted by this despicable man, who didn’t act in the name of any true religion.

I also hope we do not forget the violence that continues to rage here in Illinois, seemingly on every summer weekend. It’s a tragedy, too.

TODAY’S TALKER AIRLINE DELAY IMPROVEMENTS

Airlines are sticking to their schedules, and consumer complaints are falling. The Department of Transportation said Monday that 84.5 percent of flights on the largest 12 U.S. airlines arrived on time during April, better than the previous month and up from 81.8 percent in April 2015. Hawaiian Airlines and Delta Air Lines were the best at staying on schedule, while Spirit Airlines was last, arriving late more than one-fourth of the time.

The 67-year-old arrived Monday

morning at the McHenry County Treasurer’s Office, located at 2100 N. Seminary Ave., with a large black suitcase in tow. Standing outside, among a crowd of roughly 20 supporters and county officials with stacks of $1 bills spilling out of his suitcase, Aylward said he plans to do this

McHENRY COUNTY

IMRF pension proposal heading to a vote Measure would eliminate benefits for current, future County Board members

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A proposal to end the McHenry County Board’s participation in the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund cleared its last procedural hurdle before heading for a formal vote later this month.

The County Board Management Services Committee voted Monday, 6-0, to recommend approval of the measure, which would not only eliminate IMRF as a benefit for future members, but also cease participation for existing ones, including the elected chairman.

The measure, which cleared the Human Resources Committee earlier this month on a 7-0 vote, likely will go to the full board at its next meeting June 21.

The proposal comes in the wake of

an ongoing investigation by the IMRF as to whether County Board members, most of whom are enrolled in the system, are working the minimum 1,000 hours a year mandated by state law. It also comes on the heels of a bill headed to Gov. Bruce Rauner that would end future pensions for county board members statewide.

Members who already are vested, meaning they served the minimum number of years to get an IMRF pension, will still get one upon reaching retirement age.

Members who are not vested will not lose the credit they have accumulated to date, meaning it can be applied if they take a government job that is IMRF-eligible. The Illinois Constitution forbids altering pension benefits already accrued.

Government officials and employees who enrolled in IMRF before 2011 need eight years to be vested – that threshold increased to 10 years in 2011 as part of a pension reform package approved by state lawmakers. Eight County Board members have served long enough to be vested, and at least two others are vested through previous government Rep. jobs.

Jack Franks The IMRF investigation was prompted earlier this year by state Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, who asked the fund to look into whether County Board members are working the required hours.

He also wrote the language in Senate Bill 2701, which passed the Gener-

al Assembly last month, that would end IMRF participation for all county board members statewide.

Franks, who has locked horns with the County Board for years over reforms he has wanted, is running for County Board chairman.

Officials elected to county, township and municipal governments that have adopted a 1,000-hour standard, like the McHenry County Board did in 1997 for themselves and county government employees, will not meet that threshold, barring “highly unusual circumstances,” according to IMRF rules.

If approved by the County Board, IMRF credit for members will stop accruing with the Dec. 1 start of the next fiscal year and the seating of the new board following the November election.

Displaced 90-year-old taken to hospital

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com McHENRY – A 90-year-old McHenry woman was displaced after an early Monday morning fire in her kitchen, fire officials said.

The McHenry Township Fire Protection District was dispatched at 4:45 a.m. to the 300 block of Kent Road in unincorporated McHenry for a report of a fire in the kitchen area of a single-family home and a person trapped in the bedroom, Battalion Chief Kevin Sears said in a news release.

Firefighters extinguished the fire within 10 minutes and remained at the scene until about 6:30 a.m., officials said.

The woman was simultaneously discovered by a sheriff’s deputy coming through an outside bedroom window and first responders inside the structure, ac-

cording to a release from the sheriff’s office.

Sears said firefighters raised a ladder to the window of the 90-year-old woman’s location and were able to enter the bedroom and locate her.

She was transported to Centegra Hospital – McHenry for smoke inhalation and is listed in good condition, according to the release.

Officials estimated the fire caused at least $50,000 in damage.

“We had some good communication from the different agencies,” Deputy Fire Chief Steven Spraker said.

One McHenry County Sheriff’s deputy suffered minor injuries while assisting fire crews on the scene, according to the news release.

The cause of the fire is believed to be a stove that was left on, officials said.

There also were no working smoke detectors in the home.

CARY – Cary-Grove Amvets Pearl Harbor Memorial Post 245 will host its annual flag retirement ceremony at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Contract pending for ‘experienced developer’ to buy Selcke property “There’s some really good opportunities for the right tenants to come to Cary and take advantage of this high-profile site.”

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@nwherald.com CARY – A contract is pending for the purchase of the commercially zoned property owned by the Selcke family at the south side of the intersection of Route 14 and Jandus Cutoff Road.

Ted Wagner, the real estate agent for the property, said the site went under contract last week. Wagner said this was the first offer made on the entire 15-acre parcel of land.

Officials have not disclosed the buyer of the property, but Wagner said it is an “experienced developer” who previously has been involved with similar types of property.

The village has made a number of investments to encourage commercial development at the site, dating back to the tax increment financing district established in 1997, Village Administrator Chris Clark said.

In recent years, the village completed $1.6 million in improvements to Jandus Cut Off Road, Clark said. Most of

Village trustees mentioned their desire to develop the property in February when approving plans for a nearby Burger King that is now under construction and rejecting plans for a nearby cell tower.

Clark said village officials have met with the potential buyer, who intends to develop the land commercially.

The village’s comprehensive plan, completed last year, laid out some possible site plans for retail uses on the site, he said.

The developer, Moraine Hilltop LLC, presented the project as an “ambitious reclamation project” that would prepare the land for future development.

WOODSTOCK – Police have charged a 30-year-old Woodstock registered sex offender with exposing himself to two girls who were riding bicycles in his neighborhood.

Woodstock police said the department’s criminal investigations division initiated an investigation on May 25 after it was reported that on two separate occasions a male subject residing in the 600 block of Oak St. exposed his genitals to two female minors while the girls were riding their bicycles in the 600 block of Oak Street.

Police said detectives completed interviews of both female victims and the suspect, who was identified to be Steven B. Degutis, 30, 615 Oak St. Police said the two incidents hap-

pened on May 14 and May 22 and were immediately reported after the minors’ parents became aware of the incidents near the intersection of Dane and Oak streets.

After conferring with the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office, Woodstock detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Degutis for two counts of Steven B. sexual exploitation of a Degutis child, a Class 4 felony.

Degutis, who also is a registered child sexual offender, turned himself in at the Woodstock Police Department on May 31. He posted the required $2,000 bond and was released from custody.

Degutis’ next court date is scheduled for Tuesday. He faces up to three years in prison on the charges.

cswieca@shawmedia.com CARY – Firefighters rescued two residents from a fire that left a Cary house uninhabitable Monday morning.

The Cary Fire Protection District and a number of neighboring districts were dispatched to a fire at 1014 Spring Beach Way at 5:47 a.m., according to a release from the department.

Firefighters arrived on scene four minutes later and found heavy fire on the first floor of the two-story house.

at the time of the fire, heard beeping from a smoke detector and found the living room couch on fire, officials said.

The residents had gone to the basement to rescue their family pets, officials said. Cary Fire Protection District Lt. Michael D. Douglass said a dog was led out of the house.

The family also had two cats, one of which was located outside the house.

The fate of the other cat is uncertain, and a pet turtle did not make it out of the fire, Douglass said.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation but is not considered sus-

Both residents were evaluated at the scene for injuries, and one was transported to Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington, officials said.

The house is not habitable, and the residents are making arrangements to stay with relatives. A damage estimate is not yet available.

Fire personnel from Algonquin/ Lake in the Hills, Barrington, Barrington-Countryside, Fox River Grove and Nunda Rural assisted at the scene.

Each official agreed property taxes are too high and that something needs to change so the Steve Reick state does not continue to lose its residents.

Reick said the answer to this problem needs to be taken up by the state legislature.

“By the time you get to this door, it’s already too late,” Reick said.

Walkup said the County Board has worked over the past four years to reduce the county’s portion of the property tax bill. The county currently receives about 10 percent of a resident’s total bill.

“We need to continue to set a good example and shame the local taxing bodies into following that example,” he said. “You need to go to your school board meetings, your city council meetings, your library board meetings.”

Tirio said he plans to eliminate his role as county recorder if elected and merge that role with the county clerk’s office. That is expected to save the county about $125,000 every year, he said.

“It’s not enough to just vote anymore. You need to get involved in your local politics,” Tirio said.

Aylward said he paid 2 cents more than what was owed Monday so he could give local government officials his “two cents.”

“I will do this every year until my last breath,” he said. “[Raising property taxes] is wrong, it’s evil, and it’s gotta stop.”

The first tax installment was due Monday, and the second is due Sept. 13.

He said the house he currently lives in on the Fox River in McHenry was built in 1911 by his great-uncle. Several generations have lived in the home since it was built, but he likely will be the last because it has become too much to handle financially. His children are unable to live in the home because they are not able to afford it, he said.

Simultaneously, firefighters from other units entered and extinguished the fire, which was considered under control within 20 minutes.

Better read this if you own a home in the U.S. and were born before 1954.

NO MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS?2 EXTRA CASH? It’s a fact: no monthly mortgage payments are required with a reverse mortgage loan;2 the homeowners only have to pay for maintenance, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees.

Another fact many are not aware of is that HECM reverse mortgages first took hold when President Reagan signed the FHA Reverse Mortgage Bill into law 28 years ago in order to help senior citizens remain in their homes.

Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy their retirement.

Although today’s HECM reverse mortgages have been improved to provide even greater financial protection for homeowners, there are still many misconceptions.

For example, a lot of people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a HECM reverse mortgage loan, which is not the case. In fact, one key benefit of a HECM is that it automatically pays off your existing mortgage, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for seniors living on a fixed income. Unfortunately, many senior homeowners who could benefit from a HECM loan don’t even bother to get more information because of rumors they’ve heard.

That’s a shame because HECM reverse mortgages are helping many senior homeowners live a better life.

In fact, a recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one HECM lender, found that over 90% of their clients are satisfied with their reverse mortgages.

While these special loans are not for everyone, they can be a real lifesaver for senior homeowners like Betty Carter, who recently took out a HECM loan with AAG so that she could finally get the extra cash she needed to fix up her house.

“With the help of AAG, I have been able to repair my home’s foundation that I had been putting off for several years, refinish the hardwood floors, paint the interior and will have the exterior painted within a few days. My house is starting to look like my home again and it feels good, says Carter.

The cash from a HECM loan can be used for any worthwhile purpose. Many people use the money to save on interest charges by paying off credit

FACT: In 1988, President Reagan signed the FHA Reverse Mortgage bill into law. cards or other high-interest loans. Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills or helping other family members.

Some people need the extra cash for everyday expenses while others simply use it as a “safety net” for financial emergencies.

If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more so that you can make an informed decision. Homeowners who are interested in learning more can request a free 2016 HECM Reverse Mortgage Information Kit and free Educational DVD by calling American Advisors Group toll-free at 1-(855) 293-3061.

At no cost or obligation, the professionals at AAG can help you find out if you qualify and also answer common questions such as: 1. What is the government’s role?

2. How much money might I get?

3. Who owns the home after I take out a HECM loan?

You may be pleasantly surprised by what you discover when you call AAG for more information today.

The aggregate value of homes owned by seniors increased their share of home equity to $5.76 trillion according to the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association. Source: http://reversemortgagedaily. com/2015/12/27/u-s-seniors-home-equity-rockets-to-5-76-trillion/. 2If you qualify and your loan is approved, a HECM Reverse Mortgage must pay off your existing mortgage(s). With a HECM/Reverse Mortgage, no monthly mortgage payment is required. A reverse mortgage increases the principal mortgage loan amount and decreases home equity (it is a negative amortization loan). AAG works with other lenders and nancial institutions that offer reverse mortgages. To process your request for a reverse mortgage, AAG may forward your contact information to such lenders for your consideration of reverse mortgage programs that they offer.

Borrowers are responsible for paying property taxes and homeowner s insurance (which may be substantial). We do not establish an escrow account for disbursements of these payments. A set-aside account can be set up to pay taxes and insurance and may be required in some cases. Borrowers must occupy home as their primary residence and pay for ongoing maintenance; otherwise the loan becomes due and payable. The loan also becomes due and payable when the last borrower, or eligible non-borrowing surviving spouse, dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, defaults on taxes or insurance payments, or does not otherwise comply with the loan terms.

It’s a well-known fact that for many senior citizens in the U.S. their home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 50% of their total net worth.

Yet, according to new data from the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 5 trillion dollars of unused home equity.1 With people now living longer than ever before and home prices back up again, ignoring this “hidden wealth” may prove to be short sighted.

All things considered, it’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage or “HECM” (more commonly known today as a reverse mortgage loan) to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement.

However, today, there are still millions of eligible homeowners who could benefit from this FHA-insured loan but may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret.”

Some homeowners think HECM loans sound “too good to be true.” After all, you get the cash you need out of your home but you have no more monthly mortgage payments.

Woman who created beehive hairdo dies

By CARYN ROUSSEAU The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Margaret Vinci Heldt, who became a hairstyling celebrity after she created the famous beehive hairdo in 1960, has died at age 98.

Ahlgrim Funeral Home in Elmhurst said Monday that Heldt died Friday at a senior living community.

The beehive – a tall, conical woman’s hairstyle – became a cultural phenomenon during the 1960s and evolved into a style worn for decades as Hollywood’s starlets walked red carpets.

Heldt created it on the request of a hairstyling magazine that published images of it in February 1960 and called it “the beehive” because it resembles the shape of a traditional hive.

“I have lived a charmed life,” Heldt said in a 2011 interview with The Associated Press. “The opportunities opened to me and I said, ‘Now it’s up to me. I have to make it work.’ ” Heldt said the inspiration for the hairstyle came from a little black velvet hat, shaped like a small bump and lined inside with red lace.

Heldt went downstairs to her family room one night while her family was sleeping. She put on music and started working with hair atop a mannequin head.

The magazine article described the hairdo as a “tall wrap-around crown, creating a circular silhouette with

“I have lived a charmed life.

The opportunities opened to me, and I said, ‘Now it’s up to me.

I have to make it work.’ ” Margaret Vinci Heldt

Hairstyling celebrity who created the beehive hairdo

high-rise accents.” Over the years, it was worn by cultural icons, including Amy Winehouse, Audrey Hepburn and Marge Simpson.

Heldt grew up in Chicago and loved hair as a child. She won a beauty school scholarship in high school, but her family couldn’t afford to buy her a hair switch – a piece of fabric with long hair attached so students could practice – so she cut her mother’s long hair into a short bob and sewed that onto burlap to use in class. She passed the state board exam in 1935.

Heldt opened her own salon – Margaret Vinci Coiffures – on Michigan Avenue in 1950. She won the National Coiffure Championship in 1954.

Heldt earned accolades during her retirement.

The trade group Cosmetologists Chicago named a scholarship for Heldt for creativity in hairdressing.

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – The trick to getting ahead will involve getting along with people. If you socialize more, you’ll open up doors that have been closed in the past. Greater involvement with children and older relatives is featured this year, as is the need to make an effort to improve your love life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Take a moment to size up your situation before you make a decision. A mistake will be costly and will put you in a precarious position with someone you care about.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Emotions will escalate if you get involved in a joint financial

venture. Secrets will not be easy to keep. An unexpected encounter will put you on the spot.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – If you help others, you will benefit as well. A change in the way you do things will be emotionally satisfying.

A strong tie to someone special will lead to greater commitment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Too much of anything will set you back. You will need to keep your head if you don’t want to be stuck with something you don’t want and cannot use.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – It’s a good day to travel. Discuss your ideas and learn from someone. You’ll prosper if you are dedicated to reaching your goals. Personal improvements will be enlightening.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – You can be nice

without people taking advantage of you. Set boundaries and carry on doing what you enjoy most. An investment will turn sour due to misinformation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Look at all the possibilities before you make a move.

Change is necessary, but your decision must be made for the right reason. A partnership looks promising.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – A change at home or to your lifestyle will not be ideal. Look for the positive in whatever situation you face in order to excel.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Money matters are improving. A chance to make positive changes at home or elsewhere is apparent.

Romance will brighten your day and lead to a

joint venture.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Think before you take action. Nothing will be as it appears.

You’ll be misled if you let someone else take care of your personal or professional affairs.

Promise only what you know you can deliver.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Romance, travel, intrigue and a change in your financial situation all are prevalent. Embrace change, and share your thoughts and feelings with someone you love. A commitment can be made.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Professional gains, partnership improvements and improvements to your lifestyle and reputation are all possible. Stay focused on what’s important to you in order to get what you want and gain access to a new opportunity.

STATE

State board OKs remap item for ballot

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – A measure that would let Illinois voters decide whether an independent commission should draw political boundaries inched closer to the November ballot Monday with a state board’s approval, though a pending lawsuit could derail the efforts.

The State Board of Elections unanimously endorsed its lawyer’s findings: Random sampling showed the group, Independent Map Amendment, had enough valid signatures for the ballot.

“This is a huge hurdle that we’ve cleared,” Independent Map spokesman Dave Mellet said.

What remains is the outcome of a Cook County lawsuit questioning whether the measure is constitutional, along with a final certification by election officials.

The Independent Map group wants an 11-member

commission – with a partisan mix – to determine congressional and legislative political districts, a process that takes place each decade based on census figures. Two years ago, a judge ruled a similar remap effort wasn’t constitutional and couldn’t be on the ballot. The 2014 petition drive was also hampered by signature and paperwork problems election officials called “a mess.”

There was no evidence of that Monday, with election authorities saying a 5 percent random sample of the over 560,000 collected signatures showed sufficient valid signatures and no challenges had been filed. Independent Map collected nearly double the 290,216 signatures required.

Backers of the proposed initiative say they learned from the previous effort and revamped their proposal. Their push has also been better funded and publicized by a coalition of business and civic leaders.

The lawsuit was brought by attorneys including Michael Kasper, who also argued against the 2014

proposal and has represented Illinois’ top Democrats, including House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton. The new lawsuit argues the proposed initiative doesn’t meet constitutional requirements and imposes new duties on the auditor general, among other things. Oral arguments are scheduled for June 30.

Election officials said Monday that they would wait for the lawsuit’s outcome before they certified the constitutional amendment for November’s ballot.

By law, they face an Aug. 26 deadline to do so.

Currently in Illinois, the party in power controls mapmaking. The Independent Map Amendment argues their proposal will make the process more transparent and fair.

When the state last drew political lines, Democrats controlled the General Assembly and governor’s office. Current maps were signed into law in 2011 but underwent several legal challenges by Republicans.

News from across the state Bill to let police use EpiPens under Rauner’s review

CHICAGO – A bill is awaiting action from Gov. Bruce Rauner that would give Illinois police training and authorization to carry epinephrine auto-injectors to help with severe allergic reactions.

The measure is named after Annie LeGere, a 13-year-old Elmhurst girl who died after having a severe allergic reaction at a sleepover, The Chicago Tribune reported.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, food allergies in children have grown 50 percent from 1997 to 2011.

Annie’s mother, Shelly LeGere, said she has made it her mission to equip first responders with the injectors such as the EpiPen. School nurses and other school employees are legally allowed to use the injectors.

“Had the officer who was first on the scene (for Annie) had an EpiPen, our life would be different right now,” LeGere said. “But that’s no one’s fault because it was against the law for them.”

LeGere said she wants to allocate money raised by her nonprofit organization to police departments to buy auto-injectors after police officers are trained.

McDonald’s to take over Oprah’s old digs in Chicago

NEW YORK – McDonald’s is moving back to Chicago and taking over the old home of “The Oprah Winfrey Show.”

The world’s biggest hamburger chain said Monday that it signed a lease to move its corporate headquarters in 2018 from the leafy suburbs of Oak Brook to downtown Chicago. The move makes it the latest big company to trade suburbia for city offices in an attempt to attract young workers who prefer living in urban areas.

The company’s new home will be on the site that once housed Harpo Studios, where filming of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” took place until 2011. Harpo Stu-

Orlando killer appears to be ‘homegrown extremist’

By JASON DEAREN and TERRANCE HARRIS The Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. – The gunman whose attack on a gay nightclub left 49 victims dead appears to have been a “homegrown extremist” who espoused support for a jumble of often-conflicting Islamic radical groups, the White House and the FBI said Monday.

As Orlando mourned its dead with flowers, candles and vigils, counterterrorism investigators dug into the background of 29-year-old Omar Mateen, the American-born Muslim who carried out the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

“So far, we see no indication that this was a plot directed from outside the United States, and we see no indication that he was part of any kind of network,” FBI Director James Comey said. But he said Mateen was clearly “radicalized,” at least in part via the internet.

Comey said the bureau also is trying to determine whether Mateen had recently scouted Disney World as a potential target, as reported by People. com, which cited an unidentified federal law enforcement source.

“We’re still working through that,” Comey said.

The FBI chief defended the bureau’s handling of Mateen during two previous investigations into his apparent terrorist sympathies. As for whether there was anything the FBI should have done differently, “so far, the honest answer is, I don’t think so,” Comey said.

Despite Mateen’s pledge of fealty to the Islamic State, a murky combination of other possible motives and explanations emerged, with his ex-wife saying he suffered from mental illness and his Afghan-immigrant father suggesting he might have acted out of anti-gay hatred. He said his son got angry recently about seeing two men kiss.

An unidentified man, wrapped in a Rainbow Flag, lights a candle Monday during a vigil in Washington hosted by the Muslim American Women’s Policy Forum, in memory of the victims of the Orlando mass shooting. A gunman opened fire inside a crowded gay nightclub early Sunday before dying in a gunfight with SWAT officers, police said.

The Orlando Sentinel and other news organizations quoted regular customers at the gay bar as saying they had seen Mateen there a number of times.

“Sometimes he would go over in the corner and sit and drink by himself, and other times he would get so drunk he was loud and belligerent,” Ty Smith said. Smith said he saw the killer inside at least a dozen times.

Wielding an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle and a handgun, Mateen opened fire at Pulse Orlando early Sunday in a three-hour shooting rampage and hostage siege that ended with a SWAT team killing him. During the attack, he called 911 to profess allegiance to the Islamic State group.

At the White House, President Barack Obama said there is no clear evidence so far that Mateen was directed by the group, calling the attack an apparent example of “homegrown extremism.” Obama is traveling to Orlando on Thursday to pay his respects to the victims and stand in solidarity with the community, the White House said Monday evening.

More details of the bloodbath emerged, with Orlando Police Chief John Mina saying Mateen was “cool and calm”

during phone calls with police negotiators. But the chief said he decided to send the SWAT team in and bash through a wall after Mateen holed up with hostages in a bathroom and began to talk about bombs and an explosive vest.

“We knew there would be an imminent loss of life,” Mina said. As it turned out, Mateen had no explosives with him.

Five of the wounded were reported in grave condition, meaning the death toll could rise. A call went out for blood donations.

In Orlando, mourners piled bouquets around a makeshift memorial, and people broke down in tears and held their hands to their faces while passing through the growing collection of flowers, candles and signs about a mile from the site of the massacre. Later Monday evening, thousands gathered near the site for a vigil held on the lawn of the Dr. Phillips Center, the area’s main performing arts venue. Many in the crowd said they were inspired to attend because Pulse played a huge role in their lives as gays and lesbians.

“It was a place that a young 20-year-old who wasn’t openly gay felt safe for the first time,” said Cathleen Daus, now 36.

Prosecutor: FedEx knew suicide linked to illegal pharmacy

By SUDHIN THANAWALA The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO – FedEx delivered packages containing illegal prescription drugs for internet pharmacies even after it noticed that authorities were cracking down on the businesses and was told that one had shipped drugs to a woman who committed suicide, prosecutors said Monday as a trial began over drug-trafficking charges against the shipping giant.

FedEx knew that drugs in millions of packages it delivered over a decade were illegally prescribed but shipped them anyway because it did not want to lose millions of dollars in revenue to rival UPS, Assistant U.S. Attorney John Hemann said during his opening statement.

“They faced a choice, and the choice is to stop or go, and time and time again, they went,” Hemann said at the trial in San Francisco.

The government plans to rely on FedEx’s emails to make its case.

FedEx has denied the charges and says it only shipped what it believed were legal drugs from pharmacies licensed by states and registered with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

Jim Peterik SPONSORED BY

By C.R. Walker How many times have you seen Rocky III and heard the song, “Eye of the Tiger?”

You may know that Survivor is the band responsible for that hit song, but if you were asked who wrote it, would you have any idea?

The answer is Jim Peterik. He penned the Grammy-winning and triple-platinum song, as well as many others during an illustrious music career.

Now you’ll have a chance to see him live as he’s bringing his show to the Raue Center on June 25 at 8 p.m. This is surely a show you won’t to miss as Peterik only has two solo shows currently scheduled for 2016.

For years, Peterik heard from fans and friends who asked him to record an acoustic album featuring some of his many hits in a more intimate and revealing way. It resulted in his latest album, “The Songs,” many that he will share with guests in Crystal Lake.

Peterik’s responsible for the ageless classic Survivor tunes, “High On You,” “I Can’t Hold Back,” “Burning Heart” and many more.

He also wrote “Hold On Loosely” and “Caught Up In You” for the band 38 Special, “Heavy Metal” with Sammy Hagar and his first big hit, “Vehicle,” for his original band, The Ides of March. Peterik has also co-written songs for countless other bands, including Cheap Trick, REO Speedwagon and the Beach Boys.

Peterik is being featured as a very special guest for the National Piano Conference.

As a Grammy-award winning songwriter, performer and producer, Peterik has been involved in music his entire life. He began as lead vocalist, guitarist and songwriter for The Ides of March from 1964 to 1973 before founding Survivor.

This event is made possible through the generosity of Michael and Sue Costigan and sponsors, EISENMANN, Piano Trends Music Company and Sage Products, Inc. Buy your tickets today by visiting www. rauecenter.org.

“If FedEx was picking up from a pharmacy that was shut down by the DEA and reopened, it had a registration issued by the DEA,” she said.

Arguedas contended that a DEA agent who emailed FedEx in 2006 about

the suicide did not want the company to do anything about the pharmacy that shipped the drugs, citing an ongoing investigation of the business.

The exchange was “emblematic” of the partnership between the DEA and FedEx, Arguedas said.

The trial – nearly two years in the making – is unusual because of the government’s decision to bring drug charges against a package delivery company and for the lack of a settlement.

UPS paid $40 million in 2013 to resolve similar allegations that arose from a yearslong government crackdown on internet pharmacies that ship drugs to customers without valid prescriptions.

The stakes are high for Memphis, Tennessee-based FedEx. No FedEx officials are facing prison time, but the charges carry a potential fine of $1.6 billion.

In the early 2000s, prosecutors say, FedEx began conspiring with two internet pharmacy organizations to ship powerful sleep aids, sedatives, painkillers and other drugs to customers who had not been physically examined by a doctor.

The crux of the government’s case is that FedEx knew the drugs were illegal and headed for dealers and addicts but delivered them anyway.

WASHINGTON – He didn’t come out of nowhere.

The Orlando shooter came under suspicion three full years ago, after boasting of mutual acquaintances with the Boston Marathon bombers and making statements to co-workers that suggested he had radical, violent intentions. But after a 10-month investigation the FBI closed the case, finding no criminal charge to pursue.

Omar Mateen was scrutinized again in 2014 as part of a separate probe into a suicide bomber who attended the same Florida mosque and was a casual acquaintance. Again, agents found no significant radical ties and shifted their focus away.

Did investigators miss something they should have seen? A look at how law enforcement makes these life-and-death judgments:

Does the government believe it should have done anything differently?

“So far, the honest answer is, I don’t think so,” FBI Director James Comey said. But he also said the FBI will continue examining its past actions.

Mateen’s behavior and contacts were enough to prompt surveillance, the use of confidential informants and three direct interviews with him. But his was just part of a huge volume of investigations that only has grown in an era of prolific Islamic State propaganda and its advocacy of do-it-yourself terrorism.

President Barack Obama on Monday lamented the difficulty of tracking “lone wolves” who operate without ties to known terror groups, and Comey said the FBI opens “hundreds and hundreds” of investigations across the United States just like the one Mateen faced.

Most conclude without any basis for arrest or further monitoring, and once that happens, there’s no mechanism for keeping perpetual watch on those subjects – or preventing them from buying weapons.

Mateen was added to a terror watch list when he came under investigation in 2013 but was removed once that matter was closed.

Discerning whether someone under scrutiny will commit violence, or even who should be scrutinized, is more than just finding the proverbial needle in a haystack, Comey said. “It’s which pieces of hay are likely to become a needle.”

How big is that haystack, really?

Orlando shooter was on the FBI’s radar

FBI Director James Comey (right) listens to President Barack Obama speak to members of the media Monday in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington after receiving an update on the massacre at an Orlando nightclub. Comey says the gunman in the Orlando nightclub attack that killed 49 people had “strong indications of radicalization” and was likely inspired by foreign terrorist groups. to co-workers introduced confidential informants, followed him and recorded his conversations, among other methods.

Mateen admitted making the statements reported by his co-workers, but explained that he did it in anger because he thought they were discriminating against him and teasing him because he was Muslim, Comey said.

“The evidence developed during the investigation was consistent with his explanation that he had said these things to try to freak out his co-workers,” Comey said. Agents ultimately accepted that explanation.

More serious, longer-term terrorism investigations can employ invasive techniques, such as obtaining an order from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to conduct electronic surveillance and physical searches.

Obama said that it is concerning when radical groups are promoting violence “very effectively over the internet.” In the U.S., he said, “out of 300 million, How often do people previously known there are going to be some individuals who find for to the FBI go on to commit violence? whatever reason that kind of propaganda enticing.”

Does the FBI keep tracking people it once investigated?

Investigations routinely are closed when agents conclude they have insufficient cause to keep them open. The FBI maintains records in case the name surfaces again in connection with another matter.

But agents can’t indefinitely maintain surveillance without new basis to suspect wrongdoing.

People who were once looked at for potential terror ties can be removed from watch lists and generally resume their lives. And, Comey said, once an investigation is closed, “there is no notification of any sort” triggered by the person later trying to buy a firearm.

“Every case has to come to an end someplace, and if you don’t have evidence that somebody commits a crime, then you’re obligated to close that case,” said David Gomez, former counterterrorism chief of the FBI’s Seattle field office.

Are local authorities kept in the loop?

Comey said he was confident local law enforcement was made aware of the FBI’s findings and the fact that it was closing the investigation into Mateen.

Often, information is shared directly with local authorities through their representatives on joint terrorism task forces.

The FBI was criticized in 2013 after the Boston Marathon attack for not sharing enough information about the Tsarnaev brothers with local law enforcement. A few months after the attack, the FBI’s deputy director sent an email to special agents in charge around the country reminding them to consistently share specific information with local task force officers.

OUR VIEW

Orlando and the gun debate In the wake of the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, the debate about gun control once again is heating up.

It’s a discussion – contentious or not – we should be having, even though any ideas, good or not, always seem to stall in Congress.

We’ll simplify the debate by boiling it down to two key issues: • Should AmeriFor the record can citizens be able to buy assault-style We should take all possible weapons – weapons steps to limit the carnage that can fire a large these terrorists are intent on amount of rounds in inflicting on innocent victims. mere seconds – and all the ammunition they can get their hands on?

• Should anyone on the U.S. Terrorist Watch List be able to buy guns of any kind?

Congress debated this second question late last year in the wake of two mass shootings, one in California and one in Colorado. Ultimately, no such ban was passed.

Would Omar Mateen have been able to murder 49 innocent people and critically injure dozens more had Congress passed a ban on suspected terrorists from buying guns? He was on the watch list when the FBI questioned him in 2013 and 2014 about possible ties to terrorism. But he was removed after those investigations were closed.

Whether or not such a ban would have prevented the Orlando massacre, we support enacting one now. It only makes sense.

Banning the sale of assault weapons is the larger, and more difficult, issue. Gun advocates say the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits such a restriction, but for 10 years (from 1994 to 2004) a federal law banning the sale of assault weapons was in place.

The issue is such a political hot button now we realize passage of a similar ban is near impossible.

But it should be considered.

We acknowledge no legislation ever will be able to completely stop the Mateens of the world. A hatefilled individual hellbent on violence will commit a violent act. But can the damage be limited?

We as a country should take all possible steps to limit the carnage these terrorists are intent on inflicting on innocent victims.

Mr. Ryan’s poor anti-poverty plan

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, R-Wisconsin, justified his endorsement of Donald Trump this month by arguing the billionaire would be more likely than Hillary Clinton to sign GOP ideas into law. At best, this was a risky bet on the ideologically flexible Trump – but a commitment to bold reform was at least understandable as a motive for soul-selling. Now we are getting a look at the agenda Ryan has been preparing, and it suggests he sold his soul cheaply.

For months, Ryan has been promising a proactive governing platform on which Republicans can run. Last Tuesday, he began rolling it out with a 35-page brief on how the GOP would combat poverty. The speaker has put special emphasis on this issue in the past. In 2014, he released an ambitious plan proposing a broad restructuring of the government’s anti-poverty programs with the

goal of pressing beneficiaries harder to improve their lives, in effect making the government the nation’s life coach. The idea was controversial, and rightly so.

But Ryan got behind some broadly admired ideas in the past, too. For example, he proposed pumping up the earned-income tax credit (EITC), which tops up low-income workers’ wages, a reform with potentially broad bipartisan appeal because it fights poverty while rewarding work. At the moment, the EITC mostly is targeted at families, rather than all Americans, and benefits are too meager. Expanding eligibility and increasing benefits should be a cornerstone of any anti-poverty reform program.

In the House GOP’s latest document, however, the EITC is hardly mentioned. Instead, the report includes a line about “increasing” it – an unhelpfully vague suggestion – and goes on to dwell on EITC

fraud. The outline spends much more time on bromides such as working with nonprofit groups and giving states more flexibility.

These reflect Republican federalist principles, but with a fatal lack of specificity. The program offers no real sense of how states might work through a series of thorny issues in practice: How to design a welfare system that phases out as income grows but does not discourage people from seeking higher wages, for example.

Ryan deserves credit for trying to engage his colleagues in a policy discussion. But his latest agenda seems designed to win acceptance from a fractious House Republican caucus, a vocal minority of which has no interest in affirmative policymaking of any kind, least of all fighting poverty.

It’s thin gruel to justify endorsing a man Ryan knows is unfit for the presidency.

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.

Vote Madigan out

To the Editor: You can describe the financial problems in Illinois with just two words: Mike Madigan. He is a bully in the House of Representatives.

How can he be for the working person in this state? All he wants to do is tax us more and more. When are the people in his district going to wake up and vote him out? It is an embarrassment to live in this state.

There must be consequences for Illinois legislators

To the Editor: What’s next for Illinois?

The financial fix this state is in gets worse every year. From all the information reported, it’s because the people elected to take care of the state and its people are not at all concerned about the state or its people. It’s all about getting their own way at all cost.

VIEWS Rich Miller it’s not all good news for the Dems.

Then again, Democratic presidential candidates haven’t fared well in some downstate regions in a long time, but Democratic legislators have mostly managed to hold onto their seats.

When looking at gender, location and voting history, Libertarian candidate Johnson does his best with folks who have voted in the past three Republican primaries, scoring 11 percent – not good news for Trump at all.

But as Gov. Bruce Rauner’s people have been warning for months, the Democratic House speaker is getting the blame for the yearlong governmental impasse by a huge margin.

“The Illinois General Assembly has once again adjourned its spring session without a budget agreement – an ongoing situation that some feel is caused by a clash between Governor Bruce Rauner and Speaker Mike Madigan,” poll respondents were told.

They then were asked to assign blame between the two men.

The poll found voters blame Madigan by a decisive 21-point margin, 5534, with just 9 percent saying “both”

They are beyond shame or embarrassment.

A normal household wouldn’t be allowed to spend more money than they have and not pay their bills continually because they have to be accountable for their actions. But that does not apply to those in office now. They just keep spending the taxpayers money and not paying their bills, with no accountability or penalty.

The average taxpayer doesn’t have any idea how much debt the state is in.

Imagine the taxpayers deciding not to pay their taxes.

Just because they can’t be embarrassed doesn’t give them the right to embarrass every taxpayer in the entire state.

There has to be some kind of consequence for these people other than waiting for their term to expire, voting them out and watching them walk away laughing.

Fritz Von Bruenchenhein McHenry

and a mere 2 percent saying they still were undecided.

The polling company conducted a similar survey late last month for another client. Based on that earlier polling, the firm’s principal Gregg Durham said there “seems to be a widening gap putting the speaker in the lead in the budget blame game.”

Durham noted while Rauner enjoys “relative solidarity among Republican voters, Speaker Madigan’s numbers are comparatively soft among Democrats.” For example, 28 percent of people who have taken Democratic ballots two out of the last three cycles say Madigan is chiefly to blame. Independents blamed Madigan 49-39.

Durham also said there were significantly more people who said they were undecided in the earlier poll. So positions appear to be hardening.

Chicago is the only region that blames Gov. Rauner over Speaker Madigan for the impasse, 52-35. But there is only one contested race in the city, and Chicago GOP Rep. Michael McAuliffe’s district includes suburban Cook territory as well, where Madigan is blamed 54-36. And there are lots of expectedly competitive legislative races coming up in suburban Cook. About 7 percent blame both in Cook County, and 3 percent are undecided.

Downstate voters predictably blame Madigan over Rauner, 59-29, with 11 percent blaming both and an almost microscopic 1 percent saying they’re undecided. Just about everybody has an opinion on this one, and that opinion is not good for the Democrats.

Madigan does worst among collar county voters, where 64 percent blame the speaker and just 27 percent blame Rauner, with 2 percent undecided and 8 percent blaming both men.

Just 29 percent of men blame Rauner, but a very strong 62 percent blame Madigan. Another 7 percent say both are to blame, and 1 percent are undecided.

Fifty percent of female votes point their finger at Madigan as opposed to 38 percent who blame Rauner. Ten percent of women blame both, and 3 percent are undecided.

The results reportedly confirm similar polling taken by the House Democrats, and they definitely confirm polls taken by the Republicans.

So why continue down this path?

The answer from multiple sources is Madigan is convinced it’s up to him to stop Rauner in his tracks, even if that means taking some losses.

Sheriff’s patrol tarnishes Johnsburg Memorial Day service

To the Editor: Each year, the village of Johnsburg honors our lost loved ones in a heartfelt Memorial Day ceremony. The ceremony culminates in the dropping of a wreath from a helicopter into the Fox River in honor of all of our fallen soldiers.

removed it from the pole, and tossed the wreath to the bottom of the boat.

When I heard the wreath hit the floor, I heard a person in the boat next to me say, “Yep, McHenry’s finest.” Hardly.

The Democrats got a bit of good news and some serious bad news in a recent Capitol Fax/We Ask America poll. And that bad news is particularly negative for anyone who can be credibly connected to House Speaker Michael Madigan.

The poll of 1,231 registered Illinois voters found presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton leading presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump by 12 points, 47-35. Another 7 percent said they were voting for Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson, and 12 percent were undecided. The poll was taken June 5-6, had a margin of error of +/-3 percent, and 39 percent of the responses came from mobile phone users.

John Kerry won this state by 12 points in 2004, the last time an Illinois resident wasn’t on the presidential ticket. So Clinton’s numbers already are aligning with Kerry’s. And the poll was taken before Illinois’ U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk and other Republicans withdrew their support from Trump.

Clinton is leading 67-17 in Chicago and 47-35 in suburban Cook County.

Trump, however, is ahead 42-38 in the suburban collar counties and leads by 10 points, 45-35, among downstate voters – the location of some potentially very hot state legislative battles, so

Microsoft to buy networking site LinkedIn

By BARBARA ORTUTAY The Associated Press

NEW YORK – In a surprise move, Microsoft said Monday that it is buying LinkedIn for about $26.2 billion, a deal that could bring subtle but significant changes for the professional network’s more than 430 million members.

LinkedIn will remain an independent unit of Microsoft. It will keep its name, and current CEO Jeff Weiner will stay on and report directly to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.

LinkedIn lets members network with other professionals, upload their résumés, catch up on career advice and search for jobs.

For Microsoft, the deal presents an opportunity to cement itself as the tech company for the world’s professionals, helping them find jobs, learn new skills and do their work.

Microsoft will also look for ways to combine Microsoft’s software for workers with the information stored in LinkedIn’s online professional network.

For instance, Nadella told The Associated Press that Microsoft’s digital assistant Cortana could mine LinkedIn for helpful data.

“Cortana can wake up before you go into a meeting and inform you about all the people you are meeting for the first time and the connections you have with them,” he said.

Similarly, he said, LinkedIn’s “news feed” – which provides articles

In a surprise move, Microsoft said Monday that it is buying the professional networking service site for about $26.2 billion. and updates from your contacts on the network – could highlight information that’s relevant to a project you might be working on using Microsoft’s Office 365 software.

LinkedIn users might see changes in the first year after the deal is closed, Nadella said.

Microsoft may also integrate its business software with LinkedIn’s growing business of providing sales professionals with contacts and information to help make sales to large com-

panies.

LinkedIn, based in Mountain View, California, is by far Microsoft’s largest acquisition – much larger than Skype, which the company bought for $8.5 billion in 2011.

Microsoft Corp., which is in Redmond, Washington, is paying $196 for each share of LinkedIn Corp., a 50 percent premium over the stock’s closing price of $131.08 on Friday. The deal is expected to close this year.

LinkedIn’s business and share price

have been rocky recently. In February, it gave a surprise forecast for slower growth that led to a big sell-off, wiping out nearly $11 billion in market value.

The company said at the time that its adjusted earnings would be 55 cents a share on revenue of roughly $820 million. Its stock climbed higher after it reported better than expected results for the first quarter, although not enough to recover from the earlier plunge.

In an email to LinkedIn employees posted online, Weiner asked them to give themselves “some time to process the news.”

“You might feel a sense of excitement, fear, sadness, or some combination of all of those emotions. Every member of the exec team has experienced the same, but we’ve had months to process,” he wrote. “Regardless of the ups and downs, we’ve come out the other side knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt, this is the best thing for our company.”

Microsoft has a mixed track record with acquisitions, having written off more than $10 billion it poured into companies such as cellphone maker Nokia and an online ad firm called aQuantive.

Nadella expressed confidence that this one will succeed, citing the company’s more successful takeovers of Skype and Minecraft.

LinkedIn shares soared 47 percent to $192.50 in midday trading Monday.

Microsoft shares slipped nearly 3 percent to $50.01.

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT TUESDAY, JUNE 14, 2016

NEW YORK – CBS’ Tony Awards on Sunday beat last year’s audience by one-third.

The broadcast drew 8.73 million viewers, up 35 percent from last year, according to preliminary ratings from the Nielsen Co. It is the largest audience for the show since 2001.

The surge was even more pronounced in the key 18-to-49year-old demographic, with that rating notching a 60 percent increase from 2015.

James Corden, host of CBS’ “The Late Late Show,” presided over the awardscast, which saw a sweep by the Broadway musical “Hamilton,” yet had somber moments in the wake of Saturday’s nightclub shootings in Orlando, Florida.

Historic sites getting more visitors thanks to ‘Hamilton’ fans NEW YORK – Historic sites connected to Alexander Hamilton are getting more visitors than they used to thanks to fans of the Broadway musical “Hamilton,” which won 11 Tony Awards on Sunday.

Fans are hunting down every Hamilton spot they can think of, from his home in Harlem, to his burial site in Lower Manhattan, to Hamilton Park in Weehawken, New Jersey, near the dueling grounds where he was shot by Aaron Burr.

Kerissa Bearce, 35, an instructional technology coach from Fort Worth, Texas, visited all those sites and many more when she came to New York to see the show with two friends.

“I pretty much don’t remember anything about the founding of my country, but now I’m learning all of it,” Bearce said.

Bearce is among thousands of “Hamilton” fans boosting visitor numbers at historic sites that in the past were barely on tourists’ radars. Hamilton Grange, his Harlem home and a National Park site, had as many visitors in the first five months of this year as it did in all of 2015 – more than 35,000 people. And that’s a 75 percent increase over the 21,000 visitors who toured the Grange in 2014, the year before “Hamilton” opened.

Artifacts at the site include a piano that Hamilton’s daughter, Angelica, played, which is replicated in the show. But fans also are finding their way to more obscure spots, such as the Schuyler-Hamilton House in Morristown, New Jersey, where Hamilton courted his wife, Eliza.

“We have 5-year-olds, 16-year-olds, 30-year-olds coming here now,” said Pat Sanftner, who gives tours of the Schuyler-Hamilton House. “We did not have that audience in our museum before. We had 60-year-olds. It’s wonderful to have these conversations now with visitors. We’re not just teaching. They’re questioning us and they’re thinking.”

Levine offers to pay funeral expense for ‘Voice’ singer

EVESHAM TOWNSHIP, N.J. – Pop star Adam Levine has offered to pay the funeral expenses for a singer gunned down after a Florida concert. Levine mentored Christina Grimmie when she finished third on NBC’s “The Voice” two years ago.

Spokeswoman Carleen Donovan confirmed Monday that Levine made the offer.

Grimmie’s New Jersey hometown will hold a candlelight vigil Monday night to honor the 22-year-old killed Friday night as she signed autographs after a show in Orlando.

The YouTube star lived in Evesham, a small community about 20 miles from Philadelphia, before moving to Los Angeles in 2012.

A motive for the shooting hasn’t been determined. Authorities said she apparently had no personal connection to the man who shot her.

The gunman fatally shot himself after being tackled by her brother.

Like past Twain prize recipients including Tina Fey, Will Ferrell and last year’s winner, Eddie Murphy, Murray first gained prominence for his work on “Saturday Night Live.” He joined the cast in 1977, replacing the beloved Chevy Chase, and he overcame audience skepticism by creating the iconic character Nick the Lounge Singer.

His first starring movie role was in “Meatballs” (1979), and he scored a major hit the following year with the anarchic golf comedy “Caddyshack.” Murray – an avid golfer who grew up caddying – played Carl Spackler, a deranged groundskeeper who spins tall tales about carrying the Dalai Lama’s golf bag.

Murray went on to become the nation’s most bankable comedy star, playing the lovable smart aleck to perfection in “Ghostbusters” (1984) and “Groundhog Day” (1993).

A smarter Siri

Apple rolls out software improvements at developer conference

By BRANDON BAILEY The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO – Apple kicked off its annual software developer conference with an artificial intelligence upgrade for Siri, its digital assistant, as well as new software features for other devices and an overhaul of its music service.

CEO Tim Cook opened the event with a moment of reflection for the Sunday mass shooting in Orlando, Florida.

He called the shooting a “senseless, unconscionable act of terrorism and hate aimed at dividing and destroying,” and noted Apple makes a point of celebrating its diversity before asking the crowd to rise and take part in a moment of silence.

Making Siri smarter

Artificial intelligence, personified by the wisecracking Siri, is starting to play a larger role in Apple’s future plans.

On Monday, Apple announced the voice-controlled assistant will work on Mac desktop and laptop computers, where it can locate files and perform other feats. Siri also will gain new capabilities with Apple TV, where it will let you launch live TV viewing with voice command and search YouTube and the iTunes store for videos.

Perhaps more important, Apple is letting Siri work with applications made by other companies. The change will open up new ways for Siri to help iPhone owners get things done more quickly.

Such AI features are emerging as a major new tech battleground, one where Apple is racing to catch up with other virtual assistants from Google and Amazon.

Getting to know you

Experts say the changes could make Siri more useful to consumers and help Apple learn more about its users.

But it could diminish use of Apple’s homegrown apps, such as Apple Music or Maps. Now, users might ask Siri to open a competitor like Spotify.

With AI, “systems get much better the more they know about the user,” said Alan Black, an expert in voice-enabled technology at Carnegie Mellon University.

Apple, however, long has been reluctant to pry too deeply into your personal information. And some experts say

Craig Federighi, Apple senior vice president of software engineering, speaks Monday about the new iOS at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco.

that has put it at a disadvantage compared with Google, which has compiled vast quantities of data – about both individual users and consumer trends – from its search engine, Gmail, maps and other well-liked online services.

Apple’s AI improvements aren’t restricted to Siri. An update to the iMessage app, for instance, will rely on machine learning to automatically suggest appropriate emoji to place alongside texts. It also will show graphics and thumbnails of the information contained in a web link and automatically play online videos when they’re opened by a recipient.

New coats of paint

Apple, however, is eager to keep users engaged with its own apps and services, and announced several redesigns aimed at making them more useful and less complicated.

Its iMessage app, for instance, will let you change the size of the bubbles surrounding the text to help convey the feelings underlying the words. For instance, an expression of love might be displayed in a large bubble while a message of condolence might be shown in a very small bubble.

The feature is similar to an upcoming Google messaging app called Allo.

Both are expected in a few months.

Apple Music, which now has 15 million paying subscribers, is getting a new interface that’s intended to be simpler and that will make it easier to find music you store on your phone, and not just tunes you can stream from the Internet.

The company also opened its once-maligned Maps app to developers, with the goal of enabling a range of easy-to-use features. Senior vice president Eddy Cue said the new app will let you find a restaurant, book a reservation, request a car from Uber or Lyft and pay for it using Apple Pay, all without leaving the Maps app.

Apple also is making it possible to subscribe to various publications such as The Wall Street Journal and read the stories inside the News app.

News alerts from your favorite outlets also will pop up on your device’s lock screen.

What to watch

Apple’s watch, the company’s first new product since Cook replaced co-founder Steve Jobs in 2011, is getting

an upgrade in September that will bring fitness tracking to wheelchair-bound users (see page 25). The retooled watch software will include an “SOS” feature that automatically will call for help in emergencies and the ability to share exercise activities with other people.

It also will launch software apps faster than before.

Apple is making it easier to use its Apple TV set-top box as the new hub of a digital home. The new version of its tvOS system software will let you sign in once to access channels from several different TV network providers.

It’s also adding services such as Dish’s Sling TV and Fox Sports Go.

Pay as you go

The company’s digital payment system, Apple Pay, is coming to the web.

The service already lets people pay in stores without opening a separate app, by holding their phone or watch near a reader.

Apple says users now can use their phone’s fingerprint sensor to pay and check out when they are shopping online using a web browser. Google brought a similar feature to Android Pay last month.

NEW YORK – Fitness trackers routinely measure physical activity such as running and cycling and encourage people to stand up and walk around throughout the day. But if you’re in a wheelchair, you’re out of luck.

Apple wants to change that with an upcoming Apple Watch feature announced Monday. Instead of standing breaks, people in wheelchairs will be prompted to wheel or spin their chairs around regularly. Apple also will start tracking distance, speed and calories burned during wheelchair use, just as it does for walking or running.

The efforts could give Apple’s smartwatch an image boost over standalone fitness trackers such as Fitbit, although the target market likely isn’t large enough to significantly lift sales.

In the first three months of the year, three Fitbits shipped worldwide for every Apple Watch, according to research group IDC. Apple hasn’t released sales figures for its watch.

Jeff Williams, Apple’s chief operating officer, said the feature isn’t about market opportunities.

“We want to make products that serve every walk of life,” Williams said

28 Scientists seek new approach to vaccines Dear Dr. K: I heard on TV about a possible new vaccine against HIV, Ebola and other terrible viruses. That sounds like very good news, or is it just hype?

Dear Reader: You might have heard about a new approach to creating vaccines. The approach is called “passive immunization with neutralizing antibodies.” It could revolutionize immunization against Ebola and other viruses, including HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) and influenza (flu) viruses.

To tell you what it is and why this new approach is exciting, I need to explain some basics first. In tomorrow’s column, I’ll explain neutralizing antibodies.

When we are infected by viruses (and other microbes), certain cells of our immune system catch a few of the viruses. These cells chop the microbes they’ve caught into little pieces. Then those cells display the pieces, called antigens, like little flags waving from their cell surface.

Some other types of immune system cells see those antigens and begin making antibodies against them. The antibodies attach to those antigens – and to any virus that contains those flags. When that happens, the antibodies disable the virus.

Traditional vaccines contain large amounts of antigens of a virus. When those antigens enter your body, the immune system dedicates certain immune cells to make antibodies against those antigens.

The antibodies are made whenever a virus with those antigens infects your body, because those immune cells have a “memory” of the antigens that recognizes them immediately.

So far, so good. But here’s the problem.

Some viruses frequently change the shape of certain antigens. The flu virus is a prime example. Often new strains of the flu virus, with new and different antigens, suddenly

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff emerge. No immune cells immediately recognize the new antigens, because the immune system has no memory of them.

This can lead to pandemics – when new flu viruses develop and suddenly sweep across the globe. For example, the pandemic of the H1N1 “swine” flu virus in 2009-10 swept over the entire world within a few months. That’s too fast for a conventional vaccine to be made in large quantities. I know from personal experience: I caught the H1N1 virus and became quite sick before a vaccine against it could be developed.

With Ebola, there’s a slightly different problem. There are several very different strains of the Ebola virus. Every now and then, for reasons we don’t understand, one of the strains of the virus starts an epidemic. Each of them is different enough from the others it hasn’t seemed possible to make a traditional vaccine that would cover all three.

So, scientists have long dreamed of a vaccine that: (1) would be effective against many different strains of a virus; and (2) could be made in large amounts and stored to be ready for when an epidemic suddenly explodes on the scene, hopefully nipping the epidemic in the bud. Passive immunization with neutralizing antibodies may prove to fulfill that dream, as I’ll describe tomorrow.

teenagers’ chores for them. Instead, start instituting consequences if they shirk their responsibilities. An effective consequence would be to confiscate their iPhone, iPad or Xbox if the chores aren’t done. And if they talk disrespectfully to you – ditto.

Dear Abby: My son’s fiancée set their wedding date without asking me if I could make it. I recently took a job on the West Coast. As a campground manager and new employee, I can’t get time off Labor Day weekend to fly back to the East Coast for the wedding.

His fiancée has done other hurtful things in the past. When I tried to talk to my son about it, I received the hostility I usually get from him.

My question to you is, should I pay for their caterer? I have given this son so much money over the years I can’t help but believe he’s a user. – Excluded Out West Dear Excluded: If your son had wanted you to be at his wedding, you would have been consulted before the date was set. His fiancée didn’t consult you because that is probably the way your son wanted it. Under the circumstances, you should not pay for any of the wedding expenses. If you feel you must do something, send them a congratulatory card wishing them “a lifetime of happiness together.” Period.

Dear Abby: If I am standing in line waiting for a friend to arrive at a store that’s about to open for a sale, when my friend arrives, is it OK for her to join me where I’ve been holding the spot, or should we move to the back of the line so customers behind us don’t feel like she is butting in? – No Butts About It Dear No Butts: Lines for sales can be long, and people sometimes wait many hours to get into the stores. According to Emily Post, “Courteous people never break into line.” It might be diplomatic to ask the person standing in back of you if he or she minds if your friend joins you. Some might object; others not.

the mother of two teenagers, ages 13 and 15.

I am trying to teach them to do chores and help around the house, but all I get is attitude from them.

I try to explain I didn’t grow up with a dishwasher and I washed all the dishes by hand.

Well, now that we have a dishwasher, they don’t want to load or unload it either. I try not to spoil my kids, but I guess it’s too late. Sometimes I get so frustrated I just do the chores myself.

What am I doing wrong as a parent? My kids are either on their iPhone or iPad or Xbox. They have a better childhood than I ever had, but they don’t understand. It’s hurtful when their response is “You don’t understand anything” or “I can’t wait to get out of the house and get away from you.” This is very hurtful, and I guess I just needed to vent to someone other than my husband. Thanks for letting me. – Stressed-out

Publication must be promised.

Thomas Pickering, a former ambassador to the United Nations, said, “In archaeology, you uncover the unknown. In diplomacy, you cover the known.”

In bridge, you sometimes cover the known card -- the one led -- and sometimes leave it uncovered. How can the defenders defeat two hearts in today’s deal after West leads the club three?

When South rebid two diamonds (rather than one no-trump with two low clubs), North was right to give preference to hearts. He had a minimum, so couldn’t bid above two spades. Also, he knew his side had at least seven hearts, but was sure of only six diamonds. South, with a minimum opening and no great fit, had an easy pass. (In a class once, half the Souths jumped to four hearts because, or so they thought, I never let them play in a partscore contract!)

The defenders should set their sights on these six tricks: two clubs, two spades and two hearts. East wins with his club ace and returns the two (low from three remaining cards).

West takes that trick, cashes the spade ace, and continues with the spade eight (higher of two remaining cards). East wins and returns his last spade. Let’s assume declarer discards a diamond from his hand.

Now South leads the heart 10 from the board. To defeat the contract, East must cover with his king.

As we learned yesterday, you cover the last of touching honors. (As there is only one honor, that makes it the last.) South wins the king with his ace, but West gets two trump tricks with his queen-nine over declarer’s jack-eight.

United States for the first time.

“My passport was fresh off the press,” Cahill said. “I had never left in my life. I got my passport just about two months prior to that. That was a great experience, to just get out there and travel for the first time. … But once you’re out there, once you’re playing, it’s a similar process.”

Cahill’s three consecutive months of tournament play in Orlando helped him stay consistent on a new course and earn full-time status on the PTLA. “That qualifying will make or break somebody’s year,” Cahill said. “If you get full status, you’re playing the whole season. If you don’t make any status, you’re kind of back where you start. I was able to get full status, and it was an incredible accomplishment.”

One of the many friends and family members who called to congratulate Cahill was his former high school golf coach, Jeremy Bauer, now the athletic director at Jacobs.

“I had talked to my old high school coach ... and we just kind of – you know, you’ve got to laugh about playing in high school, and then going off to college, and now I’ve got tour status,” Cahill said.

Huntley senior Jessica Shields and McHenry senior Alex Martens were named to the Class 4A Illinois Coaches Association All-State Softball first team, released Monday at icasoftball.org.

Shields, who hit .536 with 42 runs scored, five doubles, three triples and 67 steals in 71 attempts, helped lead the Red Raiders to their second con- Jessica secutive regional ti- Shields tle, first Fox Valley Conference Valley Division crown and a school-record 26 wins.

She had a .613 on-base percentage atop Huntley’s lineup and hit .727 with Alex Martens runners in scoring position. Shields will play college softball at NCAA Division II Wisconsin-Parkside.

Martens, the 2016 Northwest Herald Softball Player of the Year, was named to the first team for the second straight year. She paced the Warriors in batting average (.598), on-base percentage (.655) and slugging percentage (1.021), striking out only once in 113 plate appearances.

The shortstop smacked 16 doubles, two triples and seven homers with 42 runs scored and 40 RBIs. Martens committed to Kentucky as a sophomore.

Huntley senior second baseman Hayley O’Mara was named to the second team after earning thirdteam honors as a junior. O’Mara, who will play at Davenport University in Michigan, hit .425 with 21 extra-base hits, including 13 doubles and eight home runs, and drove in 40 runs.

Huntley sophomore Tiffany Giese was named to the third team after pitching in 33 of 35 games for the Raiders. Giese finished 25-7 in the circle with nine shutouts, a 2.34 ERA and 197 strikeouts in 2181/3 innings.

Quest starts in Latin America Jacobs grad aims for PGA Tour

By JOHN LAVACCARE sports@nwherald.com

A

fter finishing his college golf career at Miami University last summer, Jacobs graduate Scott Cahill decided to give professional golf a chance.

He performed well at the 2015 Illinois Open in July but struggled throughout the rest of the summer, barely missing the cut at several tournaments and PGA Tour pre-qualifiers. Cahill even briefly explored the idea of taking an office job. “(I) went through a tough time where I was kind of doubting myself, and wondering whether or not I wanted to do it, just because the stress was so high,” Cahill said.

Cahill was persuaded to continue golfing full-time after talking it over with friends, and he made qualifying for the PGA Tour Latin America his main goal. Cahill, from Algonquin, moved into an apartment in Orlando, Florida, in the fall in order to continue playing, competing in small regional tours to stay sharp for January’s qualifying school.

When Cahill finally arrived at the qualifying tournament in Bogota, Colombia, he had to maintain focus on his golf game while traveling outside the

Cahill has participated in seven events on the PTLA this year. His best performance came at the Honduras Open, where he finished tied for 35th at 3-under-par 285.

“That was great to see some immediate success,” Cahill said. “Not only in my game, but to see some improvement in not being worried about where my score was in relation to the field.”

NBA Finals: Game 6, Golden State at Cleveland, 8 p.m. Thursday, ABC last year and also in their only other championship season out West in 1975.

The Warriors will get Green back Thursday as they try again for that repeat title.

Banned from the arena, Green watched from a baseball suite in the Oakland Coliseum next door, joined by Golden State general manager Bob Myers.

The All-Star forward was suspended Sunday for his fourth flagrant point of the postseason. He was assessed a retroactive Flagrant-1 for his swipe at James in the fourth quarter of Friday’s Game 4.

Tied 61-all at halftime Monday, the Warriors missed 14 of their first 20 shots out of intermission and shot 7 for 24 in the third as James and the Cavs grabbed command by doing all of the little things on both ends of the floor – the very intangibles Golden State desperately missed without Green’s high-energy presence on both ends. James jumped in the passing lanes to create defensive havoc, flipped passes around and got open.

Klay Thompson scored 37 points with six 3-pointers and Curry added 25 points with five 3s, seven rebounds, four assists and two blocked shots. But as the game wore on, the Splash Brothers shot airballs and clanked 3-point tries off AP photo the front rim.

to the United States for the summer, as the PTLA is on a break until August. He plans to compete in the Illinois Open and Cedar Rapids Open in July, while using any additional free time to practice and work out.

His long-term goal is to climb up the professional golf ladder.

“The end goal is to be a full-time PGA Tour member,” Cahill said. “This tour is just an opportunity to earn more status, to play down there, to have a chance to move up to the Web.com (Tour), and from there, to have a chance to move to the PGA Tour.”

Continued from page 2 In Class 3A, Marengo pitcher Mariah Dionne earned first-team honors for the second straight year. Dionne, a junior, went 20-7 with a 2.45 ERA and 208 strikeouts in 166 innings.

Marengo reached the Class 3A Genoa-Kingston Sectional final, losing to Sterling, 2-1.

Dionne allowed only two earned runs in three postseason starts. At the plate, she hit .483 with 19 doubles, one triple, eight home runs and 46 RBIs, as the Indians went undefeated in the Big Northern Conference East Division for the third straight year.

Dionne also was named BNC East Pitcher of the Year for the third consecutive season.

Marengo junior Leah Secor was named to the second team. The shortstop hit .424 with 50 runs scored, adding 11 doubles and two homers as the Indians’ leadoff hitter. Secor did not strike out all season and committed only two errors on defense.

Joining Secor on the second team is Hampshire junior Peyton DeChant (Loyola), who hit .500 with six home runs and 32 RBIs. The Whip-Purs won their first regional title since 2008 behind a 4-for-4 performance from DeChant in a Class 3A Hampshire Regional final win over Johnsburg.

Marengo’s Allison Jasinski and Anna Walsweer, Hampshire’s Aly Snider, Johnsburg’s Morgan Post, and Richmond-Burton’s Ashley Turner and Haylie Regnier were named to the third team.

OAKLAND, Calif. – LeBron James had 41 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists, Kyrie Irving also scored 41 points and the Cleveland Cavaliers capitalized on the Warriors playing without suspended star Draymond Green, staving off NBA Finals elimination with a 112-97 victory in Game 5 on Monday night.

James and Irving became the first teammates to score 40 points in an NBA Finals game as the Cavaliers pulled within 3-2 and sent their best-of-seven series back to Ohio.

“We’re just happy we got another day. That’s all we can ask for,” James said. “We got another day to survive.

We’re going to start preparing tonight, start preparing tomorrow and whenever Game 6 is we’ll be ready.”

Take that, haters. James had much more to say about these playoffs before he’s done – and not with his mouth, even as the criticism came from all directions following his Game 4 tussle with Green and reaction to what he considered the Golden State forward’s inappropriate words. He was booed again as the Cavs left the court for their locker room, but thousands of fans had already made for the exits minutes earlier.

The Cavs handed defending champion Golden State just its fourth defeat at sold-out Oracle Arena all season, denying MVP Stephen Curry and the Warriors a chance to celebrate a second straight title with their golden-clad “Strength In Numbers” supporters.

Now, Curry and Co. will try to win on the road just the way the Warriors did

Sox rally after Shields shelled again

By JAY COHEN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Adam Eaton singled home the winning run in the 12th inning for his fourth hit of the night, and the White Sox rallied from seven runs down in a wild 10-9 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Monday.

J.B. Shuck led off the 12th with a double down the first-base line and advanced to third on Tim Anderson’s sacrifice. With the infield playing in, Eaton then bounced a grounder up the middle against Anibal Sanchez (3-7), lifting the Sox to an unlikely victory.

Jose Abreu hit a two-run homer for the Sox, and Dioner Navarro connected for a solo shot.

Zach Duke (1-0) pitched a scoreless in- in the winning run in the Sox’s 10-9 victory ning for the win, long after Sox manager over the Detroit Tigers in 12 innings MonRobin Ventura was ejected. day night at U.S. Cellular Field.

The Sox trailed 7-0 in the third, hurt by another shaky start from James Shields. They faced a 9-7 deficit in the

ninth before they got to Francisco Rodriguez for two runs with two outs, snapping a string of 19 straight successful save opportunities for the veteran closer.

After Brett Lawrie and Avisail Garcia delivered consecutive RBI singles, Shuck flied out to send the game to extra innings.

Ian Kinsler homered for the third straight game for Detroit, which had won seven of nine. J.D. Martinez had three hits while subbing for designated hitter Victor Martinez, who was sidelined by right knee irritation.

Kinsler’s 34th career leadoff homer on Shields’ second pitch began another rough outing for the right-hander in his second start since he was acquired in a June 4 trade with San Diego.

Five of Detroit’s first six batters reached as the Tigers jumped to a 3-0 lead. Cameron Maybin singled home Jose Iglesias in the second and scored on J.D. Martinez’s double. Shields’ throwing error on Iglesias’ routine comebacker set up Kinsler’s sacrifice fly that made

it 7-0 in the third.

Shields finished his outing with his first two scoreless innings with the Sox but allowed nine hits and walked four with only one strikeout. Shields, who lasted only two-plus innings in his Sox debut Wednesday, is 1-4 with a 7.90 ERA in his past seven starts.

Ventura was tossed by umpire Mark Carlson after a close pitch to Miguel Cabrera was called a ball in the seventh.

Ventura then ran out of the dugout for an animated discussion with Carlson before eventually leaving the field.

The Sox closed to 8-7 on Eaton’s sacrifice fly in the sixth and had runners on second and third when Alex Wilson retired Abreu on a hard comebacker, ending the threat. Iglesias, who extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a single in the second, got Detroit an insurance run with a suicide squeeze in the ninth.

Note: Sox left-hander Carlos Rodon said he felt fine a day after he pitched six innings in a 3-1 loss to Kansas City.

Rodon had been pushed back a couple of days because of a sore neck.

WHITE SOX NOTES

Ventura moves Anderson up to leadoff spot

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

CHICAGO – With Tigers left-hander Matt Bond pitching Monday night, bumping shortstop Tim Anderson up to leadoff was worth a shot. Left-handed hitting Adam Eaton moved down to second in the White Sox’s lineup. He was battling through a .153 slump in his previous 19 games, so that hasn’t been working for a team that won three of its first 10 games in June and was hitting .215 for the month.

Anderson is accustomed to leading off, and doing so against a lefty made sense.

“Put a little energy in there, put a little something new at the top and see what happens,” manager Robin Ventura said.

Ventura has tinkered with his lineup, hoping to find something that will spark his lacking offense. Eaton is the ninth player to bat in the 2-hole.

“You mix it up a little bit and you alleviate the sameness of what the lineup is,” Ventura said. “When you shake it up you don’t know what you’re going to get, but having Tim in there is different.”

Eaton, who has said in the past he likes batting second but has led off ev-

ery game he’s played this season, saw his average drop from .304 to .259. The Sox were averaging 3.2 runs a game with a .289 on-base percentage in June.

“I like the 2-hole to be honest with you,” Eaton said. “It’s probably my favorite place to hit.

It gives me options, and if TA gets on base, hitting and running and bunting him over and hitting into that hole as a left-handed hitter. If he steals secTim Anderson ond base, bunting him over. It allows me to be able to control the bat and putting the ball in play and doing something productive.”

Anderson, a former No. 1 draft choice and the Sox’s top prospect, batted ninth in his first three games and said he felt more comfortable having those games under his belt. Leading off changes nothing for him, he said.

“I’ll continue to do what I’ve been doing, and hopefully we can get a spark in the game,” he said.

That means being an aggressive hitter. With the Sox trailing 3-0 in the first, Anderson swung through a 2-0 fastball – it was a good pitch to hit – before grounding out on a 3-1 pitch.

Eaton reached on an infield single, but the Sox did not score.

Outer limits: Don’t underestimate the loss of Austin Jackson, whose presence in center and the subsequent move of Eaton to right gave the Sox a much-improved outfield that played a big role in that 23-10 start. With Avisail Garcia in right for the fourth straight night and Eaton back in center, the Sox are back to playing with the same outfield they fielded when they were the worst-ranked defense in baseball in 2015.

Garcia didn’t get to Miguel Cabrera’s deep fly that fell between him and Eaton for a double in the first, then booted it and let the ball drop out of his glove as he tried to pick it up. He was charged with an error.

In the second, Garcia wasn’t quick running to foul territory on Jose Iglesias’ foul ball, which landed in the first row beyond his reach – the type of catch Eaton has made almost routinely all season. Iglesias then singled and eventually scored the Tigers’ fourth run.

Eaton was leading with 16 defensive runs saved in right, but his career Defensive Runs Saved and Ultimate Zone Rating marks in center field are below average for his career.

NATIONALS 4, CUBS 1

Cubs drop 1st game in series that won’t see Lester, Arrieta

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

he seemed on a mission against the Cubs, striking out nine of the first 10 he faced and retiring 16 straight to open the game.

Montero and Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks both described Scherzer as “electric.”

Addison Russell’s line-drive homer to left in the sixth quickly tied it. But Wilson Ramos untied it just as quickly leading off the bottom of the sixth, igniting a three-run inning that all but put the game away.

“I think he wanted some payback,” Montero said, referring to what he called the best-pitched game against the Cubs this season.

By the seventh inning, Maddon intentionally walked the bases full to push Baker to lift Scherzer for a pinch-hitter.

“Just try to get him out of there,” Maddon said. “You could have brought Sandy Koufax in at that point and it might have looked better.”

The Nationals’ seventh win in eight games made them the second team in the majors to reach 40 wins, joining the Cubs.

Of course, 40 wins in June doesn’t mean anything in October. And even if somebody wanted to use this series as a measuring stick for the Cubs,

they’re not starting their two best pitchers in the series (Jake Arrieta and Lester).

But even the World Series veteran Lester looks around at potential playoff opponents as the season reaches the summer months.

“Obviously, you look at the divisions and who’s leading and all that stuff. But right now we still have a long ways to go,” said Lester, the NL’s Player of the Week for last week.

“We get back from the break and go a couple weeks from there, and that’s when things get fun and I think you could start kind of narrowing it down.

I wouldn’t count out the Mets in this division. Especially with the pitching they have.”

Which, if anything, was the gauntlet Scherzer threw down as the top two teams in the league face four months of taking care of business before a potential rematch with much on the line.

“A lot of pitching – that’s what we ran into last year,” Maddon said. “We got through the Pirates game. St. Louis, we got through that. And then we ran into the Mets, and we didn’t put the ball in play enough. And that’s what we’ve really got to strive to do is just to at least move the ball and give ourselves a chance.”

Martinez open to Sox job, but not at Ventura’s expense

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

WASHINGTON – As local baseball columnists and booster-club broadcasters try to titillate the masses with suggestions of Ozzie Guillen or A.J. Pierzynski becoming the next manager of the White Sox, the best choice might already be in town, in uniform.

And Cubs bench coach Dave Martinez, who maintains contacts with the Sox since his playing days on the South Side, said he’s interested if they ever call. With one big caveat: “I’m a big Robin fan,” he said of embattled Sox manager Robin Ventura, who’s in the last year of his contract. “I played with Robin. He was a teammate, and one of the best teammates I’ve had.

So I’m pulling for him right now.

“If the job ever comes available, it’d be something, yeah, I’d definitely be interested in. But for right now, I hope they do well and we end up playing them in the World Series.”

Martinez, 51, has been considered among the next generation of big-league managers, and this road trip to Atlanta

and Washington offers yet another reminder of the process. He was a finalist for the Nationals’ job two hiring processes ago, and the Braves already have created the first opening this year when they fired Fredi Gonzalez last month.

Martinez, who in recent years also was a finalist for the Astros job and interviewed with the Cubs (after Dale Sveum was fired) and Rays, didn’t get a call from the Nats when they went through their Dave Martinez Bud Black-to-Dusty Baker hiring mess last winter. Despite coming off a high-profile 97-win season with the Cubs, he interviewed only with the Dodgers, who eventually hired Dave Roberts.

“I was really surprised last year he didn’t get more play,” said Cubs manager Joe Maddon, who has had Martinez by his side as a bench coach since 2008. “I really don’t understand why. Getting to work with him as long as I have, he’s really good at what he does. He definitely knows how to run a baseball game. And he’s had a lot of

the tough conversations for me in the clubhouse [with players], which a lot of people run away from, man.”

Maddon has offered strong endorsements of Martinez every time he’s been up for managing jobs and suggested he might step up lobbying efforts.

A big finish by the Cubs in October could help raise Martinez’s profile even more.

If the Sox’s job opens, Martinez already has the relationships.

“I played over there, and (Jerry) Reinsdorf was the owner,” he said. “I know all of them. I played with Kenny (Williams). So I know them.

“At this point, I’m the bench coach for the Chicago Cubs,” he added. “I come every day prepared for the game at hand. If you’re going to ask me, Do I want to manage or do I think I can manage? Absolutely. There’s no question.”

Note: With two more errors Monday – one costing a run – the Cubs have committed nine in their past three games, including two rare ones by Dexter Fowler. They hadn’t committed an error in June before that, with only nine in their previous 21 games.

WASHINGTON – If this series against the Nationals this week is the kind of playoff preview that a throng of media Monday suggested at every turn and nearly every question, then the good news for the Cubs might be that they’re keeping a secret weapon out of sight until October.

“Ha,” said Jon Lester, who won’t face the Nationals this season. “I hope we’re not doctoring my rotations or anything.”

Wouldn’t have mattered if they did.

Not if Max Scherzer is pitching like this should the Cubs see him again this year.

Scherzer took a perfect game one out into the sixth inning Monday on the way to a 4-1 victory over the Cubs in the opener of a three-game series against the teams with the top two records in the majors.

With four months to go before a

potential high-stakes rematch against Dusty Baker’s National League East leaders, it’s stupid to try to draw conclusions from this series – or the Cubs’ four-game sweep last month – related to the playoffs.

Except this: The kind of pitching the Cubs faced Monday night – and against the Dodgers two weeks ago and the Giants a week before that – is what they should expect in October.

“In order to win in the playoffs, you’ve Max Scherzer got to beat good pitching, and he’s one of them,” Cubs catcher Miguel Montero said of Scherzer (8-4). “That’s fine. We beat him one time. He beat us this time.

In the playoffs, you see good pitching; that’s why they got to the playoffs.”

It’s how the Mets sent the Cubs home in October last year before reaching the World Series.

The last time the Cubs saw Scherzer, they hit four home runs and scored seven against him in a victory last month at Wrigley Field.

In his next start, he became the third pitcher in history to strike out 20 in a game. And by Monday,

6 U.S. OPEN

Spieth believes at majors

Big tournaments bring out best in 22-year-old Texan

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

OAKMONT, Pa. – Jordan Spieth feels confident about his game, typical talk from most top players going into a major.

Unlike so many others at this U.S. Open, however, Spieth speaks from experience.

Not since Tiger Woods a decade ago has anyone had this kind of run in golf’s biggest events. From the time he missed the cut at Valhalla in the 2014 PGA Championship, Spieth has not finished worse than fourth in his past five majors. He won the Masters and U.S. Open, missed a playoff at the British Open by one shot, was runner-up at the PGA Championship and tied for second at this year’s Masters.

He made it sound Monday as though form were secondary to sheer belief.

“Is my game always (good) ... no,” he said, answering his own question before he finished it. “The Masters this year, tee to green, I felt much worse than I did at events where I finished 25th at a tour event. But because I just felt that we were ready and that we could do it and I could draw on past experience – especially at that event – we got into contention.

I willed the putts in. I couldn’t really describe it to you other than it just being kind of a mental state of being confident at the majors.”

Such streaks are rare.

In the past 60 years, only Jack Nicklaus (three times), Woods (twice) and Arnold Palmer have gone at least five straight majors in the top five.

Nicklaus went seven straight majors from the 1971 PGA Championship through the 1972 British Open, while Woods’ longest stretch of top 5s was six majors from the 1999 PGA Championship through the 2001 Masters.

He won five of those six majors.

Whether the 22-year-old Texan can extend his streak depends largely on Oakmont.

The course has lived up to its reputation as the toughest championship test in golf over the last couple of days of dry weather. Spieth was among those who predicted no one will fin-

Defending champion Jordan Spieth walks off the 15th green Monday during a practice round for the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pa. ish the week under par, as was the case in 2007 at Oakmont when Angel Cabrera won at 5-over 285.

Rain could change that. But rain won’t make the rough shrink.

The density of the grass is as fearsome as the speed of the greens.

Graeme McDowell had a bet with his caddie on Sunday in which the former U.S. Open champion would get $30 for every birdie, and he would lose $10 for every bogey. He played the back nine and lost $50.

The wind was so strong Sunday that Spieth said he would have shot somewhere around 75 or 76 at best, and he would have been happy with it.

“But today, with less wind, I thought that it was more playable,” he said. “Still extremely challenging, where par is a great score, but I thought if you hit the ball where you were looking you could have birdie opportunities on quite a few holes. At the same time ... I’d sign for even par.

I don’t think anyone is going to be in the red come 72 holes. So it will be a challenge. But I’m looking forward to it.”

Spieth is coming off a stretch of playing four straight weeks, with one very important tournament.

He missed the cut at The Players Championship, his first tournament back since losing a five-shot lead on the back nine at the Masters. He lost a good chance to win in his hometown at the AT&T Byron Nelson when he

shot 74 in the final round. The important week was Colonial, where Spieth birdied his last three holes to win.

He started well at the Memorial until fading badly on the weekend, but that win in Texas was big for his morale.

And it eased some of the sting from Augusta.

“That was a huge week for us, especially to win before any of the next majors,” he said. “If we can get ourselves in contention here, I can draw back on Colonial, what happened at the end there. I think it would have been that much harder.”

The really hard part is winning at Oakmont – not just because it’s Oakmont, but the history against him.

Curtis Strange is the only player in the last 65 years to win the U.S. Open in back-to-back years. Strange won in 1988 and 1989.

No one has come particularly close, either. Retief Goosen was defending champion in 2005 and took a three-shot lead into the final round at Pinehurst No. 2 only to close with an 81 to finish eight shots behind.

Different about this major title defense is that Spieth doesn’t go to a special locker room for champions.

He doesn’t have to host a dinner for past champions.

“It just honestly feels like a normal week that I got here earlier for and I’m preparing harder for,” he said. “I feel very confident about my game right now. I wish the tournament started tomorrow.”

NORTHWESTERN

Project expected to be completed by the fall of 2018

Athletic director Jim Phillips called it a “historic development for the future of Northwestern athletics.”

“The new Welsh-Ryan Arena will be a dramatic transformation for our varsity sports programs that call it home and for the fans who devotedly support our student-athletes,” Phillips said in a statement. “A central tenet of our commitment to providing a worldclass experience for our Wildcats is a passionate home crowd. This complete overhaul of our most-used and versatile venue will create a state-of-the-art experience accessible to all Chicagoland sports fans.”

According to the school, donations will fund the project on the 63-year-old arena, which has been home to Northwestern’s men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball and wrestling teams.

COPA AMERICA ROUNDUP

Mexico 1st in Group C The ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON – Jesus Manuel “Tecatito” Corona’s goal in the 80th minute gave Mexico a 1-all tie against Venezuela on Monday night and first place in Group C of the Copa America.

Corona had missed several opportunities to score before he took on five defenders before firing off a shot from 10 yards to tie it up and thrill the overwhelmingly pro-Mexico crowd.

By winning their group, El Tri avoids a quarterfinal matchup with Lionel Messi and tournament favorite Argentina. They’re likely headed for an easier matchup with Chile in the knockout

round, leaving Venezuela to face mighty Argentina.

Uruguay 3, Jamaica 0: At Santa Clara, California, Abel Hernandez scored in the first half, Mathias Corujo added a late breakaway goal and Uruguay beat Jamaica to snap a five-game Copa America winless streak.

Both teams were ruled out of contention for the knockout stages after losses in their first two games.

Uruguay took its first lead of the 2016 tournament in the 21st minute. Nicolas Lodeiro slid a through ball between two defenders, and Hernandez powered a shot into the top of the goal. It was only Uruguay’s second goal of the tournament.

Construction is scheduled to begin in March and be completed by the fall of 2018. Among other things, that means Collins and the Wildcats will need a temporary home for the 201718 season and might require a backup venue for home games early in the next campaign.

According to the school, the athletic department is “in the process of arranging alternate locations” for games and practices after the conclusion of the 2016-17 basketball season.

The possibilities for Northwestern include Allstate Arena in Rosemont, the United Center and perhaps others.

While completing upgrades to its State Farm Center, Illinois’ basketball team played its first four home games at the Prairie Capital Convention Center in Springfield.

All around Northwestern basketball, there have been signs of improvement.

It started with the 2013 hiring of Chris Collins, a promising Duke assistant with strong ties to the Chicago area. The program has upped its game in recruiting since and – slowly, but steadily – raised its play on the court.

Twenty victories and a middle-of-thepack finish in the Big Ten last season were nothing to sneeze at.

But now, Northwestern is getting next-level serious about reinventing itself as a serious player in college basketball.

The school on Monday announced plans for a $110 million overhaul of Welsh-Ryan Arena.

A reconfigured seating arrangement, modernized concourses, premium suites and revamped locker rooms Chris Collins all are on the menu.

The arena’s lighting and audio-and-visual capabilities also will be upgraded.

Considering Welsh-Ryan has – in virtually every way imaginable – lagged far behind most Big Ten facilities for many years, this is a most welcome development.

Jeffery back for mandatory minicamp Bears mourn death of former D-lineman

By PATRICK FINLEY

pfinley@suntimes.com Having checked into Halas Hall on Monday, receiver Alshon Jeffery will attend the Bears’ three-day mandatory minicamp starting Tuesday.

The reason is in the name: because Jeffery signed a one-year, $14.59 million franchise tag tender in March, he’s subject to fines if he misses mandatory events.

Jeffery stayed away from Halas Hall after signing the tender, hoping to negotiate a long-term extension. He and the Bears have until July 15 to do so; otherwise he will play the season under the one-year deal.

Here are five things the receiver missed: A mellow response. Everyone inside Halas Hall would have preferred Jeffery’s participation in the offseason program, but they seemed less annoyed than they were last season, when tight end Martellus Bennett missed the same amount of time in a failed attempt to renegotiate his contract.

Jeffery stayed in contact with his coaches and the front office, even spending time with coach John Fox after bumping into him May 28 at Wrigley Field.

He returned to Chicago during the draft weekend, too, signing autographs at “Draft Town” and telling fans his plan was to “let (general manager Ryan) Pace and my agent” talk about his contract.

A hopeful boast. Last month, new offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains couldn’t help but dream when asked about the combination of Jeffery and receiver Kevin White, who returned to the field during the offseason program after recovering from shin surgery.

“I can’t wait to get them both on the field at the same time,” Loggains said.

“Something we’ve never seen in Chicago.”

That would take a stellar season.

In 2013, Jeffery and Brandon Marshall posted 1,421 and 1,295 receiving yards, respectively, and became the only Bears receiving pair to be selected to the Pro Bowl in the same season.

“I think that both of those guys get healthy and they’re working their tails off to get out there together,” Loggains said.

White, a 2015 first-rounder, said increased reps during organized team activities were beneficial.

“I’m kinda worried about what I have to do, try to get on the same page with Jay,” he said. “And when Al gets back is when Al gets back.”

Bears receiver Alshon Jeffery throws out the ceremonial first pitch before the Phillies-Cubs game May 28 at Wrigley Field. The Bears open a three-day mandatory minicamp Tuesday at Halas Hall in Lake Forest.

A newish scheme. Loggains’ offense is different than that of former offensive cooardinator Adam Gase, although the terminology remains.

“The shell of the offense will stay the same,” Loggains said. “It’s been the same since Fox has been a head coach. The language and everything will be the same, but it will evolve like it would have if Adam would have been here.”

Still, he said he’s “not concerned” about Jeffery picking it up.

“I know Alshon is working hard right now,” Loggains said. “And we’re excited to get him back when he shows up.”

A new coach. Jeffery and new receivers coach Curtis Johnson have developed a relationship even though he hasn’t been inside Halas Hall. Johnson flew to California to visit Jeffery shortly after being hired to replace

Mike Groh, and has spoken with him on the phone about once a week.

“Just to get to know him a little bit,” Johnson said last month. “He didn’t know who I was, and I didn’t know who he was.

“One thing about him: he’s a very, very bright young man, he’s smart, he’s confident. I really fell in love with him. I really liked him. I like his personality. I like his goals. He wants to win here.”

A health update. Pace said in April that Jeffery stressed how hard he was training in Florida, working on his biomechanics after missing nine games with soft tissue injuries.

“Talking to him and his agents, they understand the importance – as we do – of him having a healthy season,” Pace said. “I know that’s in the front of his mind.”

Tuesday, he can show his bosses.

Bryan Robinson, the defensive lineman best known for blocking a field goal to win the Bears’ first game after Walter Payton’s death, died Saturday night inside a Milwaukee motel room. He was 41.

An autopsy was conducted Monday morning and no trauma was found. The cause of death for Robinson – who played for the Bears from 1998 to 2003 – is pending further toxicology reports, according to the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner.

“We are saddened Bryan to hear of the loss of Robinson Bryan Robinson,” the Bears said in a statement. “He will be remembered for the determination and work ethic he displayed on the field over his six years in Chicago.

“The Bears and our fans will always be indebted to him for his game-saving blocked field goal in Green Bay six days after Walter Payton’s passing. Our prayers are with Bryan and his family.”

Robinson, who was married and lived in Gurnee, checked into the Midpoint Motel with another male at 9 a.m. He rented the room for six hours and was considered by the motel manager to be a “regular” there, according to the medical examiner’s investigation report.

Staff members checked on Robinson on Saturday night when he didn’t check out of his room on time; by then, the other male had left. Robinson was found unresponsive, facedown on the bed wearing only a T-shirt.

Officers recovered a bottle of Crown Royal whisky, marijuana, lubricant and “poppers,” inhalants used to relax muscles that are common in the club scene. A crushed, wet toilet paper tube was found in the crook of his left arm.

An undrafted free agent from Fresno State, Robinson signed with the Rams in 1997 before joining the Bears one year later. He started 82 games in six seasons, including all 16 from 19992001 and 2003. He finished his Bears career with 16½ sacks, five forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.
