Good morning, McHenry County ...

We’ve had enough parent-blaming We’ve seen it at least twice in recent weeks: Something bad happens to a child, and people’s first reaction is to blame their parents.

Maybe we’ve become more judgmental as people, or maybe social media has made us all more attuned to the judgments being made out there all the time by our fellow humans.

Regardless, I don’t remember anyone asking whether Jessica McClure’s parents should be charged with child endangerment after she fell down a well as an 18-month-old girl in 1987 in Texas.

“Baby Jessica” was stuck inside the well for 2½ days, and she fell down because her mother left her unsupervised in the backyard while she went to answer the phone. Also, someone left a well uncovered for her to fall into.

But she survived, and rather than face charges, the family made appearances on national TV and even were guests of President George H.W. Bush in 1989 at the White House.

Contrast that with what happened in Cincinnati a couple of weeks ago: A 3-year-old boy wanders away from his mother and falls into the gorilla cage, and people want the mother prosecuted. The local county prosecutor has to publicly state that the child’s mother wouldn’t face any charges.

In Florida, a 2-year-old wades a couple of feet into Disney’s Seven Seas Lagoon, gets snatched by an alligator, and people say the parents should have known better.

C’mon, folks. Stop blaming parents for

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Eric Olson freak accidents. These families already must feel bad enough. The mere thought of losing a young child is enough to make a parent’s heart ache.

Who are these people suggesting that a parent actively supervising their child is to blame, or even should be charged with a crime for letting their child stray from their side for a couple of minutes?

They’re the same people who ask you to quiet your 2-year-old down in the supermarket checkout line, or give you the eye when your infant cries on an airplane. People who never had children but think they know just how to raise one.

If they’d ever had children, they’d realize how not so simple it is. They’d understand that sometimes children wander off, sometimes 2-year-olds have temper tantrums and sometimes babies just have to cry.

They’d certainly stop pointing their fingers at grieving parents whose children die in freak accidents.

LOS ANGELES – Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page demonstrated a deft touch Thursday in deflecting questions aimed at showing he might have lifted a passage for the introduction to the 1971 hit “Stairway to Heaven.”

Testifying in his defense for a second day in a copyright infringement case, Page showed little interest in comparing his composition with the obscure earlier instrumental work in question, “Taurus,” by the late Randy Wolfe, founder of the band Spirit. The plaintiffs are expected to wrap up their case Friday.

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – While the mood was happy and conversational among the dozens of volunteers lined up Thursday outside of Woodstock North High School, the scenario they were helping the McHenry County Department of Health train for was deadly serious.

A terrorist group under the fictional scenario had released inhalation anthrax in McHenry County and several other locations in the Chicago area.

Health officials received the initial release of antibiotics from the federal Strategic National Stockpile to begin the process of getting the preventative course to all 307,000 people in the county. The school would be one of many needed distribution points.

Volunteer victim Joan Devito was what disaster planners call an “inject,” or a participant with a special problem.

Fractured fiddle

Richmond musician Georgia Rae in need of new instrument

By SAMANTHA MOORE smoore@shawmedia.com

RICHMOND – During a recent performance, award-winning Richmond musician Georgia Rae Mussared’s fiddle met its demise.

“Some people don’t understand because they think it’s just a fiddle. But they don’t understand I had a connection to this instrument,” Georgia Rae said.

The fiddle, constructed with wood that dates back 125 years, has been played by Georgia Rae since she was 11 years old.

Now 17, Georgia Rae has played the fiddle not only at festivals and events across McHenry County, but all over the U.S., where she’s won several championships.

She now finds herself in mourning of sorts after it was damaged in humid, rainy conditions earlier this month at the John Hartford Memorial Festival in Beanblossom, Indiana.

The instrument was given to Georgia Rae’s uncle by a man who was not identified. After receiving her fiddle for free, Georgia Rae found an old receipt with the signature Herman Anderson in its case. Ever since, the fiddle has borne that name.

“We were really good partners,” Georgia Rae said about her instrument.

While her current fiddle could be repaired, the fee is costly and would alter the instrument’s sound. In order to compete in the upcoming National Oldtime Fiddlers’ Contest and Festival, which begins Monday, Georgia Rae is borrowing a fiddle from her luthier, Martin Brunkalla, until she can raise enough money to buy a new one.

Georgia Rae, as well as fiddle partner Shawn Drake, are competing in the Twin Fiddling category at the competition in Weiser, Idaho. Just last year, the pair placed third. Recently, they earned two consecutive wins in the twin division in both Minnesota and Colorado.

Since her fiddle was damaged, Georgia Rae realized the influence it has had on her life. While in the past she would channel her emotions into music, doing so with a new fiddle feels different now.

Georgia Rae Mussared’s fiddle, which is made from wood that’s more than 125 years old, sustained fatal damage after the rainy, damp conditions of a recent music festival in Beanblossom, Indiana. A GoFundMe account has been established to raise funds for a replacement fiddle.

“It was the best fiddle that I could ever have. Since the day I got that fiddle, I didn’t go a day without playing it.”

Georgia Rae Mussared, Richmond musician “If I was feeling sad, I would go play my fiddle and feel better,” Georgia Rae said.

In addition to the competitions with Drake, Georgia Rae’s fiddle has supported her contribution to the Georgia Rae Family Band, which she plays in with her sisters, Quin and Kelly Jo, her mother Ronilyn, and Drake. The family band has earned many accolades, including winning the Battle of the Bands at the National Oldtime Fiddlers’ Contest and Festival in both 2014 and 2015.

Herman Anderson has played a critical role in Georgia Rae’s musical career.

Some of her winning performances with the fiddle include when she became the

‘Mistakes and misunderstandings’ cause confusion at wastewater plant City Council to vote on proposed chain-of-command resolution News sent to your phone

MARENGO – Poor communication about an incident at Marengo’s wastewater treatment plant has led to a draft resolution clarifying the chain-of-command structure for city employees.

Mayor Don Lockhart asked for an independent third-party study to determine whether the incident, which led to false rumors circulating about raw sewage being released from the plant, was reported to the appropriate supervisor or department head.

The final report, which was reviewed at the Marengo City Council meeting this week, said “several unfortunate mistakes and misunderstandings” caused confusion.

“This all boils down to protocol with communications between employees, the council and myself,” said Lockhart, who is recommending the City Council consider the chain-of-command resolution now that the report is complete.

On April 6, a piece of equipment fell into a basin in the wastewater treatment plant, which resulted in two permit violations. According to the report, which was conducted by Kelly Cahill – an attorney at Zukowski, Rogers, Flood and McArdle – employees at the wastewater treatment plant were “on top of the situation.”

However, not all staff and council members were notified of the incident at the same time, which caused con-

fusion when questions regarding the plant were brought up at the April 11 City Council meeting.

Cahill interviewed people involved, including city employees, managers, the mayor and five aldermen. Lockhart said Wednesday he did not yet know how much the report cost.

The first exceedance in permit standards happened the week of April 6, and the second April 12, according to the report.

Marengo Public Works Director Howard Moser did not know about the first exceedance until April 12, so when staff was asked at the April 11 City Council meeting whether waste was being dumped in the river, he said there were no problems, according to the report.

Some aldermen, including Dennis Hammortree, already had heard about the problems at the plant, so Moser’s response made it look as if the people in charge didn’t know what was going on, the report stated.

The proposed resolution lays out who appointed officials and city employees should report to, and Hammortree said he believes the resolution was

made to limit his access to staff – something Lockhart denied.

Hammortree found out about problems at the plant after speaking with employees before the April 11 meeting, according to the report. He then toured the facility on April 13 because he said he does his homework and had questions on whether the plant is at capacity.

“My whole problem with this thing is how we can spend $12 million and not have the capacity and a treatment plant that functions as it was promised,” Hammortree said.

Lockhart said the plant is not over capacity to his knowledge, and there is a two-year warranty on the plant, which was finished about a year ago.

Moser’s interview in the report indicated that the plant would not be able to handle industrial waste.

“This is what irritates me,” Hammortree said. “We can’t get the facts, we can’t get the truth.”

For Alderman Steven Mortensen, the chain-of-command resolution wouldn’t limit the council in talking to city employees.

And regarding the fact-finding report: “I think it was very helpful because not everyone knew what was going on,” Mortensen said. “And everyone should have the information, not just a select few.”

The City Council is set to vote on the resolution at its June 27 meeting, City Administrator Gary Boden said.

Cook County man charged with robbing Crystal Lake GameStop

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A 45-year-old Cook County man is being held in McHenry County Jail on $75,000 bond after police said he took a PlayStation 4 and Xbox One from a Crystal Lake GameStop.

Kory M. Glenn, of Maywood, was charged with robbery, a Class 2 felony; burglary, a Class 2 felony; retail theft,

a Class 3 felony; and battery, a Class A misdemeanor.

Glenn entered the GameStop at 1125 S. Route 31 on May 24 and allegedly took the two gaming systems from a store employee by force, according to the police complaint. Glenn also allegedly shoved the employee with his shoulder, police said.

He will appear in rights court Friday.

Board President Erin Van Der Bosch said.

Library President Stephen Bero said that plan would not be ideal layout-wise, but the space could be customized when design decisions are made.

The other highlighted option would add 6,000 square feet to the library through two additions to the north and west sides of the building at a cost of $6.9 million.

“Some of our patrons have come up to me and said, ‘Why do we need so much space added on?’ It’s a little bit of a middle ground,” board Treasurer Katrina McGuire said of the option.

“My big thing is to get children [downstairs], to get youth services all in one space, and the cost is a little bit less.”

Algonquin/Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District Battalion Chief John Greene said the circumstances that led to the crash were unclear, but it appeared the motorcycle crashed into the back end of a vehicle on Algonquin Road near Fairway View Drive.

ALGONQUIN – The Algonquin Area Public Library’s Board of Trustees will consider two primary options for expansion at its meeting next week after the Facilities Committee narrowed down a list of six upgrade options on Wednesday.

The Board of Trustees had asked to see more options after initially being presented with a plan that would cost between $7 million and $8 million and add three new wings totaling 8,000 square feet.

One of the options chosen by the four-person committee was a $7.4 million plan that would add 8,000 square feet at one wing on the building’s northeast side, adding the same amount of space as the original plan for about $500,000 less.

“I’m liking [that option] for two reasons: It’s cheaper, and to me, seems less disruptive to our operations because it’s one addition instead of three,”

Bero said the smaller addition likely would require borrowing $2.5 million, and the larger one around $3 million.

He has said the library is committed to expanding without a referendum.

The proposed changes are geared toward adding more meeting spaces, computer classrooms, a teenager area and interactive play areas for children, Bero said.

Both options would result in a loss of books: 47,000 books for the smaller plan and 42,000 for the larger plan.

While Trustee Fatima Sanchez questioned eliminating volumes while expanding space, other trustees said the expansion was meant to be flexible and the library was going the way of the future.

“That’s where we’re moving to in this day and age,” McGuire said. “We don’t need to hold that many volumes.

People aren’t checking them out. ...

This is a community center. It isn’t just about books.”

The full Board of Trustees will meet at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Alden Realty Services president In December, the Village Board approved an agreement that would allow the McHenry County Housing Authority to award housing vouchers to residents of the development, even though it will lie within Kane County.

NORTHWEST HERALD WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Coroner’s Office has determined that bones found in some bushes were nonhuman and likely came from a domesticated animal, such as a large dog.

The Woodstock Police Department responded about 9:30 p.m. Sunday to a multi-unit dwelling in the 400 block of Judd Street in reference to a person finding several bones on the ground in some bushes, according to a release from Chief John Lieb.

Police collected the bones as potential evidence and delivered them to the coroner’s office Monday, and on Tuesday, the office notified police the bones were nonhuman.

HUNTLEY – A planned affordable senior housing project is another step closer to a groundbreaking after getting a positive recommendation from the Huntley Plan Commission and being moved forward by the Committee of the Whole.

Alden Realty Services at this week’s meeting presented its final plan for a 14.6-acre senior living facility at the northwest corner of Regency Parkway and Princeton Drive, getting a supportive vote from the four board members who were present at Monday’s zoning Plan Commission meeting.

The plan for the facility includes 79 beds for independent living, 110 beds for skilled nursing and 60 beds for memory care.

Alden President Randi Schullo said at the meeting the company hopes to

break ground in July or August and finish construction within a 16-month time frame.

Independent living units would be the first to break ground, and the company anticipates those would be up and running by October 2017, she said.

“We’re really excited about this project, and I know the village has been patient with us,” Schullo said. “We already have 90 seniors on the wait list for independent living.”

The approval of the plan included a few conditions, including a $500-peracre capital development fee and the building of a sidewalk on the north side of Regency Parkway from the facility to the nearby fire station.

A preliminary plan already was approved by the Village Board and Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board in June 2013, but the project did not obtain necessary tax credits until October.

“We’re really excited about this project, and I know the village has been patient with us. We already have 90 seniors on the wait-list for independent living.”

Continued from page A3 severe headaches, a 101.5-degree fever or greater, blurred vision – she had not filled out the online medical form that would allow her and others more streamlined access to antibiotics. She would need to stop at an extra station to do so.

Twenty feet away, health department spokeswoman Keri Zaleski faced a curveball of her own from the people running the exercise. Social media posts were incorrectly stating that there was unrest at the distribution point.

She would have to put out reports debunking that claim, and ask local media to do the same. Armed police officers guarded the entrance and were posted throughout the distribution center to maintain order.

The drill was part of a statewide test by the Illinois Department of Public Health to practice distributing medicine during a public health emergency.

It tested the capabilities of the health department, its volunteer Medical Reserve Corps, the county Emergency Management Agency, local police and first responders.

“We’re hopeful this will never happen, but if it does happen, we need to be ready,” Zaleski said.

Volunteer victims – the ones who were not whisked away to get medical attention because they were symptom-

The drill was simulating an anthrax release in McHenry County and was part of a statewide exercise. atic – walked through stations to confirm their medical histories, get literature on anthrax, and finally, get an empty bottle that, had this been the real thing, would have contained a multiday course of either doxycycline or ciprofloxacin.

In the event of a real emergency, one person can get the course for his or her entire family.

Thursday’s drill actually was the second day of training, McHenry Coun-

ty Emergency Management Agency Director David Christensen said. Officials on Wednesday trained to get the medications from the stockpile and distribute them to the release points.

Federal guidelines aim for medications to be released to states within 12 hours of the order, and another 12 hours for it to be sent to local agencies, which then would have 24 hours to distribute it.

Training for a major event, such as

one where outside help won’t be coming because surrounding counties are dealing with the same thing, makes minor ones easier to handle, county epidemiologist Ben Baer Ben Baer said.

“What we’d have to do would be much larger – provide preventative medication to all the people of the county in a 24-hour period,” Baer said.

Although the scope was much smaller than the emergency they trained for Thursday, the health department administered 13,000 doses of the H1N1 vaccine at 92 clinics during the 2009-10 pandemic of that strain of influenza, on top of the 37,000 administered locally by Centegra and Mercy health systems.

The health department’s efforts were aided by its Medical Reserve Corps, a group of volunteers who augment the county’s ability to respond to public health emergencies. Zaleski said the group always is looking for more members – in a real emergency, multiple sites would have to be opened and staffed.

Medical reserve corps can be found nationwide, and they were created shortly after the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

“We need a lot of help to do this in a real event,” Zaleski said.

Two Algonquin students were honored this week by placing in Metra’s 2016 Safety Poster and Essay Contest.

The contest is held each year to promote train safety in Chicago and the suburbs.

“Distractions and not being aware of our surroundings can have serious consequences, especially near railroad tracks,” Metra Executive Director/CEO Don Orseno said in a news release. “These talented students used their creativity to help us reinforce this safety message not just with their peers, but with everyone in the region who interacts with the railroad, either as a customer or a motorist.”

In its 10th year, more than 3,200 students from across the region participated, creating artwork and writing essays around the theme “Make Safety

Your Focus: Look Listen Live.”

First-, second- and third-place winners were chosen from each grade level for the Metra Safety Poster contest.

One winner from each grade group – elementary school, middle school and high school – was chosen for the essay contest.

First-place poster and essay contest winners received an iPad, while second- and third-place poster contest winners received $250 and $100 gift cards, respectively.

Daniel Benjamin Ho of Algonquin, a student at Westfield Community School, was the first-place winner in the poster contest’s kindergarten division.

David Alexander Ho of Algonquin, also a student at Westfield Community School, received an honorable mention in the second-grade poster division.

Knee pain wasn’t your choice.

AP file photo

Labour member of Parliament Jo Cox poses for a photograph in May 2015. The Labour lawmaker was killed Thursday by a gunand knife-wielding attacker in her small-town constituency.

She was elected to the House of Commons last year as a Labour Party lawmaker representing the constituency of Batley and Spen in West Yorkshire. She divided her time between the family’s houseboat on the Thames and a home in Batley and Spen.

In Parliament, she made finding a solution to the Syrian civil war a top priority. She was critical of Britain’s reluctance to deepen its military involvement against Islamic State militants, but abstained in a vote on airstrikes because she said the plan didn’t devote enough attention to stopping the “brutality” of President Bashar Assad.

SANTA FE, N.M. – Lois Duncan was perhaps best-known for her pioneering suspense novels that captivated more than one generation of young readers, including “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” which became a movie with a sequel.

But the prolific writer of nearly 50 titles also chronicled her deeply personal, decades-long inquiry into the unsolved killing of her daughter in 1989, an experience that led her to counsel other parents whose children’s homicides went unsolved.

Duncan died Wednesday in Bradenton, Florida, said her husband, Don Arquette.

She was 82.

Titles by Duncan include children’s picture books and the kids adventure “Hotel for Dogs” that became a feature film in 2009 with Emma Roberts and Lisa Kudrow.

Starting in the late 1960s, Duncan wrote more than two dozen suspense novels aimed at young adults.

Her most personal writing chronicled the mysterious shooting death of her daughter Kaitlyn Arquette in Albuquerque as the 18-year-old drove home.

Police categorized the killing as a random drive-by shooting. Duncan never stopped searching for a motive and the perpetrators, said Pat Caristo, a private investigator who assisted in the effort.

Jo Cox fought against poverty and discrimination in developing countries, worked in Parliament for a solution to the civil war in Syria and campaigned for Britain to remain in the European Union. In charity work and politics, she took up causes across the globe, from some of the world’s most dangerous countries to her home constituency in Yorkshire.

“I’ve been in some horrific situations where women have been raped repeatedly in Darfur. I’ve been with child soldiers who have been given Kalashnikovs and kill members of their own family in Uganda,” the Labour Party lawmaker told the Yorkshire Post last December. “That’s the thing that all of that experience gave me – if you ignore a problem it gets worse.”

Cox was killed Thursday by a gun- and knife-wielding attacker in her small-town constituency, one week before what would have been her 42nd birthday.

A day earlier she had campaigned on the River Thames in London with her husband and two young children. Her husband, Brendan Cox, posted images on Twitter of the family in an inflatable dinghy, waving a flag supporting continued British EU membership ahead of the June 23 referendum.

“Jo believed in a better world and she fought for it every day of her life with an energy and a zest for life that would exhaust most people,” Brendan Cox said in a statement Thursday after her death was announced by police.

Besides her career in politics, Jo Cox described herself on her personal website as an avid runner, cyclist and mountain climber.

STATE Security to get boost for upcoming gay pride events

By DON BABWIN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – The huge crowds expected to attend gay pride parades around the United States in the coming weeks will be greeted by more police officers and ramped-up security measures as a means to protect them in the wake of the mass shooting in a gay nightclub in Florida.

While many federal and local authorities around the U.S. said they have not received information on any credible threats, Houston is investigating a threat that was made against the parade in a tweet.

Meanwhile, authorities from Denver to Chicago to New Orleans are tightening security with bag searches, more police officers and private security workers and more crowd-control barriers.

In Chicago, where nearly 1 million people have attended the pride parade in previous years, better security – including 200 additional uniformed and plainclothes officers – will be assigned to this weekend’s PrideFest and next weekend’s parade out of “an abundance of caution,” Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said Thursday.

Parade organizers themselves also are providing additional security at the city’s request – hiring 160 off-duty

Ill. borrows $550M for projects despite budget mess

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois borrowed $550 million Thursday for construction projects, taking advantage of historically low interest rates as the state approaches one full year with a budget.

Heat wave expands in Midwestern, Southern states

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A sweltering heat wave is expanding as temperatures in the Midwest and South approach near record-setting levels in the waning days of spring.

The National Weather Service said the number of states under heat advisories nearly doubled Thursday to 12. The affected states are Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Louisiana, Kentucky and Tennessee.

Temperatures are forecast in the 90s across much of those states, but the humidity is expected to make them feel much hotter. Heat indexes are expected to hit 115 degrees in central Oklahoma and northeastern Arkansas.

Court: Aviation company’s tax exemption invalid

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Supreme Court has invalidated a law that gave a property tax exemption to a Moline-based aviation company.

The 6-1 decision released Thursday declares the 2013 law is unconstitutional “special legislation.” The exemption allowed Elliott Aviation to expand at the Quad City International Airport without paying property taxes.

The Moline School District filed a lawsuit to prevent the loss of $150,000 in annual tax revenue.

Justice Lloyd Karmeier noted in the court’s opinion that the state constitution prohibits laws benefiting only one person or group. Elliott alone got the tax break.

Elliott issued a statement through its lawyer saying it will continue working

In Denver, organizers of this Sunday’s PrideFest, said the 300,000 people expected to attend will see more fences, more searches of bags and other security measures.

“We’re making security a top priority,” said organizer Debra Pollock, chief executive officer of the GLBT Community Center of Colorado, which is holding that city’s event.

And in New Orleans, city officials say that security will be beefed up this weekend in the popular French Quarter for the city’s annual gay pride celebrations, announcing that large numbers of police officers and state troopers will be on duty.

It’s unknown how last weekend’s rampage at Orlando club Pulse that left 49 people dead will affect attendance at the popular parades and festivals.

But in Chicago, parade coordinator Richard Pfeiffer said the attack may increase attendance for the 47th parade.

Chicago man convicted of Evanston death sentenced

SKOKIE – A 46-year prison sentence has been handed to Chicago man for the 1992 murder of an Evanston woman whose body was discovered by her then-4-year-old son.

DNA tests led to first-degree murder charges being filed in 2013 against Jimmie Dunlap in the death of 25-year-old Deondra Dawson. An autopsy determined Dawson had been stabbed at least 34 times.

The Cook County state’s attorney’s Cold Case Unit and Evanston police reopened an investigation of the case in 2010. Dunlap’s name came up as a match when the department submitted evidence swabs to the Illinois State Police Crime Lab. Judge Jeffrey Warnick had found the 45-year-old Dunlap guilty in a bench trial in April, and sentenced him Wednesday.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS tigation that could help resolve Congress stalemated on guns despite Fla., filibuster the mystery of why the jetliner

WASHINGTON – The slaughter in Florida and an attention-grabbing filibuster in the Senate did little to break the election-year stalemate in Congress over guns Thursday, with both sides unwilling to budge and Republicans standing firm against any new legislation opposed by the National Rifle Association.

Democrats renewed their call to action after Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., held the floor along with colleagues in a nearly 15-hour filibuster that lasted into the early hours Thursday.

“We can’t just wait, we have to make something happen,” said Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., at an emotional news conference where Democrats joined family members of people killed in recent mass shootings. “These are people bound by brutality, and their numbers are growing.”

But Republicans were coolly dismissive of Democrats’ demands.

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., derided Murphy’s filibuster as a “campaign talk-a-thon” that did nothing but delay potential votes.

The announcement came a day after officials said they had found the wreckage of the Airbus A320 and are putting together a map of the debris on the seabed. Such images will help investigators determine whether the plane broke apart in the air or stayed intact until it struck the water, aviation experts said.

The wreckage of the Paris-to-Cairo flight is believed to be at a depth of about 9,800 feet.

Previously, search crews found only small floating pieces of debris and some human remains.

Sanders: Will work with Clinton to transform party

BURLINGTON, Vt. – Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said Thursday in an address to his supporters that he will work with Hillary Clinton to transform the Democratic Party, adding that his “political revolution” must continue and ensure the defeat of Republican Donald Trump.

Sanders said in a capstone address to his political followers online that the major task they face is to “make certain” Trump is defeated. The Vermont senator said he plans to begin his role in that process “in a very short period of time.”

President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden place flowers Thursday during their visit to a memorial to the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Fla.

Obama visits Orlando, appeals for gun controls

By JOSH LEDERMAN and KATHLEEN HENNESSEY The Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. – Embracing grieving Orlando families and appealing anew for national action, President Barack Obama claimed a threat to all Americans’ security Thursday as a strong reason to tighten U.S. gun laws. Counterterror campaigns overseas, he declared, can never prevent all “lone wolf” attacks like the one that killed 49 people in Orlando.

Speaking at a makeshift memorial to the victims, Obama said the massacre at a gay nightclub was evidence that “different steps” are needed to limit the damage a “deranged” person set on committing violence can do. He cheered on Democrats’ push for new gun control measures, including a new ban on assault weapons and stricter background checks.

Although he showed little hope the measures would find much support among most opponents, Obama seemed to be aiming for other lawmakers, perhaps Republican hawks eager to get behind counterterror campaigns but steadfastly opposed to gun restrictions.

Obama arrived as Orlando began the next stage of its grief – funerals all over town. A visitation for one victim, Javier Jorge-Reyes, on Wednesday night turned out a crowd of friends, family, drag queens and motorcyclists to pay their respects.

“We’re just here to spread love and joy and try to put an end to all the hate,” said Ezekiel Davis – or, as he’s known to some, Sister Anesthesia Beaverhausen. Obama could not miss

other signs of a community coming together in tragedy. Hundreds of people gathered in 95-degree heat outside the Amway Center stadium where he met with families.

Brittany Woodrough came to honor her close friend, 19-year-old Jason Benjamin Josaphat.

“I just pray for his family and I can’t believe this happened,” she said. “Seeing President Obama here makes it real.”

Orlando’s calls for solidarity stood in contrast to the sharp-edged political debate in Washington and the presidential campaign trail that continued during Obama’s visit.

Arizona Sen. John McCain, a Republican and frequent Obama critic, accused the president of being “directly responsible” for the shooting because, he said, Obama had allowed the growth of the Islamic State group on his watch. McCain quickly walked back those comments with a written statement saying he had misspoken and was referring to Obama’s “national security decisions, not the president himself.”

The gunman, Omar Mateen, had made calls during the attack saying he was an IS supporter.

But CIA Director John Brennan said Thursday the agency has found no connection between the gunman and any foreign terrorist organization.

In Orlando, Obama noted the need for strong efforts to fight terrorists before they can get to America, but he said that’s not enough.

“It’s going to take more than just our military,” he said. “We will not be able to stop every tragedy. We can’t wipe away hatred and evil from every heart in this world, but we can stop some tragedies. We can save some lives.”

Few, if any, minority senior execs in Trump’s empire

By JEFF HORWITZ and JAKE PEARSON The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – There are few, if any, black executives in the upper ranks of the Trump Organization, a review by The Associated Press has found. Other minorities also are scarce at that level even though Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has employed scores of executives.

Former executives said they cannot recall a single black vice president-level executive at Trump’s headquarters during their combined tenures at the Trump Organization LLC, which ranged from 1980 to late in the past decade. Reviews of social media postings

by Trump and his family and Trump’s acknowledgements thanking executives in his books also fail to identify any senior black employees past or present.

Asked about the lack of African-American vice presidents in an interview last month, Trump assured the AP that he had hired minorities as senior executives and said his staff could readily provide specific details.

“I am the least discriminatory person in the world,” Trump said. “I have people that do the hiring, if you want to speak to them.”

The Trump Organization, however,

The AP limited its review to the circle of senior executives who hold titles of vice president or higher within the Trump Organization, an amorphous corporate entity in which Trump and

a group of top executives oversee hundreds of different companies and partnerships that control real estate, licensing and hospitality businesses.

Some subsidiary businesses have their own hierarchies of presidents and vice presidents, but those executives are generally not located within Trump Tower headquarters and do not have the same authority and prestige.

Trump’s subsidiary businesses over the years have included golf courses, a modeling agency, casinos in multiple states and an airline. The AP did identify some African-Americans holding the VP title at such individual properties.

“The Trump Organization employs both females and minorities in positions of authority across the entire company and in recent years has made great progress in expanding an already diverse workforce,” Trump’s son, Eric, said in a statement to the AP. “As the company continues to expand, both domestically and internationally, we will continue to recruit the very best and brightest regardless of gender and ethnicity.”

The AP’s review found two Trump executives whose surnames could potentially indicate Hispanic or Middle Eastern backgrounds but did not draw any conclusions given the lack of cooperation by the Trump Organization.

Some black former employees said the absence of minorities among Trump’s top lieutenants was striking.

“It was quite commonplace for me to be the only person of color in the room for meetings at the executive level,” said Randal Pinkett, who in December 2005 won on “The Apprentice,” Trump’s reality show competition.

The last thing you want on your hardearned vacay time is a poor night’s sleep.

You want to enjoy every minute of your leisure time, so if camping is your thing, you’ll want to make sure your RV, your camper, even your boat, has a quality mattress.

Most RVs, as expensive as they can be, don’t come equipped with good mattresses. Verlo Mattress, with showrooms in McHenry, Crystal Lake and Lake Geneva, custom-makes mattresses to fit any size and shape.

Verlo comes directly to your home or wherever your RV, camper or boat is stored, and takes precise measurements, at no additional charge. Verlo representatives discuss your mattress needs, the exact type of sleep support you’re looking for, and if

needed, will make an exact template of your sleeping area for the perfect mattress fit.

Getting the right size mattress involves more than the mattress footprint, however. Verlo also takes care to measure for thickness so as not to take away from the sleep area or inhibit shelving, drawers or door openings. RV mattresses are typically located on beds with storage underneath, and in that case, Verlo can build a mattress that bends to fit.

In some instances the corner of the mattress must be removed to give access to go around a bed more efficiently. Verlo can make your unique mattress with that custom corner.

Verlo uses every material available in the industry to make one- and two-sided innerspring, foam, memory foam, gel memory foam, latex foam and one-sided wrapped coil mattresses.

Not sure how hard or soft a mattress you prefer? Visit a Verlo showroom to test out any of Verlo’s floor models for your desired padding, firmness and comfort level.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – It’s an unwritten rule for Florida residents: Keep your kids away from ponds and lakes because alligators are everywhere.

But after a gator killed a 2-year-old Nebraska boy at a Walt Disney World resort, attention soon turned to tourists.

In a state with an estimated 1 million alligators, how should theme parks and other attractions warn visitors, and did Disney do enough?

Disney beaches remained closed Thursday after the death of Lane Graves, and the company said it has decided to add alligator warning signs, which it previously did not have around park waters.

Jacquee Wahler, vice president of Walt Disney World Resort, said in a statement that the resort also was “conducting a swift and thorough review of all of our processes and protocols.”

Local law enforcement and state wildlife officials publicly praised the company for spotting and removing nuisance gators from park waters. Disney’s wildlife management system has ensured “that their guests are not unduly exposed to the wildlife in this area,” Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings

Melissa Graves, who live in a suburban area of Omaha, have not spoken publicly, so it’s unclear whether they knew anything about the gator threat in Florida. A statement released through a family friend thanked local authorities for their tireless work. An autopsy showed that the boy died from drowning and traumatic injuries, according to the Orlando medical examiner.

Most Florida residents know to keep kids and pets away from water, not to feed gators and to be especially vigilant at dusk, dawn and during the Junethrough-July nesting season when the reptiles are most active.

State wildlife officials said they receive nearly 16,000 alligator-related complaints a year. Last year, they removed more than 7,500 gators deemed to be a nuisance.

Depending on the size of an alligator, the state might send out a trapper, as happened after the gator grabbed the boy at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, located across Seven Seas Lagoon from the Magic Kingdom, one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations.

Five gators were removed from the lake after the boy’s disappearance, and trappers continued looking for gators after his body was found Wednesday.

OUR VIEW

Lock doors on lawmakers The official calendar for the Illinois House of Representatives says the legislative body was in session for 89 session days in 2015.

So far in 2016, the state House has been in session 53 total days, according to the calendar.

The state Senate is at 51 days.

We are the only state in the country without a budget for the fiscal year that began last For the record July and ends June 30. Pennsylvania When Illinois House mempassed its budget in bers meet next Wednesday, March. The Keylock the door from the outside stone State was No. and don’t let them out until 49. they pass a balanced budget.

Illinois has gone more than 11 months now without agreeing on a plan for the current fiscal year. Oh, and there’s no approved budget for next year, either.

Yes, some stop-gap spending plans have passed to keep schools open and fund critical state operations, but because there’s not a comprehensive budget, Illinois is spending billions more than it brings in, further eroding the state’s fiscal health.

Speaker Mike Madigan’s solution? The House will meet every Wednesday in Springfield to work out a solution.

No state budget. Schools in danger of not opening. Social service agencies already closing.

Businesses facing uncertain times. Oh, and now it takes a three-fifths majority instead of a simple majority to pass a new state budget because we’re past the May 31 deadline.

These are all facts, and the solution is ... come to Springfield once a week?

May we offer one more solution once all of the members are seated in the chamber in Springfield next Wednesday? Lock the door from the outside, and the legislative body is not allowed to leave without a balanced budget that keeps schools and social service agencies open.

If that sounds uncomfortable, too bad. If it sounds like it’s too hard, tough.

Taxpayers have been pushed beyond uncomfortable in this state for years. Madigan and Gov. Bruce Rauner continuing their political war accomplishes nothing.

There simply is no excuse for why state lawmakers aren’t in Springfield working out a budget until we have a solution.

Illinois will continue to be a laughingstock and a place for citizens to flee from until this is resolved.

ANOTHER VIEW

When a killer falls through the net The gunman who carried out the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history had twice come to the attention of federal law enforcement authorities. He was placed on a terrorist watch list, investigated, interrogated and determined not to be a threat.

That assessment proved horribly and tragically wrong. But that obvious-in-hindsight assessment is only the beginning of a conversation, not the conclusion, and certainly not an indictment.

The FBI has said it will conduct a review of its past investigations into Omar Mateen to determine if mistakes were made or signs missed that could have prevented Sunday’s rampage at an Orlando, Florida, nightclub, in which 49 people were murdered and an additional 53 wounded.

The 29-year-old gunman, an American-born citizen born to Afghan parents, had been placed on a terrorist watch list for nearly a year after co-workers alerted authorities in 2013 to inflamma-

tory comments he made. He was taken off the list after an intensive investigation, including use of an undercover informant, concluded that he had broken no laws and that his talk of ties to terrorists was mere bluster. His name surfaced months later in a separate probe, but agents again concluded no action was warranted.

Posing the question of whether things should have been done differently, FBI Director James Comey said, “So far, I think the honest answer is: I don’t think so.” If in fact procedures were followed and no obvious clues missed, the questions become more difficult. Are the procedures adequate? Were allegations of domestic abuse known and factored in, and should they have been?

Can better predictive methodologies be developed?

We ask these questions with appreciation of the difficulty of the job. Comey characterized the challenge of detecting lone-wolf terrorists as not only looking

for “needles in a nationwide haystack” but also figuring out “which pieces of hay might someday become needles.”

Moreover, on alternate weeks, the FBI finds itself criticized for being too intrusive, overusing sting operations that defense lawyers characterize as entrapment, and maintaining long watch lists of people who have been convicted of no crime. Americans expect law enforcement to protect them from danger – while also respecting their privacy.

Nonetheless, this is the third time in recent years that someone who came under FBI scrutiny, including the Boston Marathon bombers, ended up carrying out a later attack. Are there lessons to be learned from how someone known to authorities went on to kill? We should not expect perfection, but we should expect the FBI to be rigorous in its review of this case – and as transparent as possible about the lessons that it – The Washington Post draws.

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.

Idea to solve Illinois’ underfunded pensions

To the Editor: A solution to the Illinois and Chicago pension problem: Every year, the board that manages the pension obligation determines how much money to set aside for the expected cost. The higher the return, the less money they have to put into the pension fund.

I suggest Mike Madigan and his buddies keep spending money and our credit score will be so low and the interest cost so high the pension board can buy the bonds and the accounts will be in balance.

VIEWS Margaret Carlson the attacks as an opportunity to talk about his strength and prescience and others’ weaknesses. The shooting, he said, brought all kinds of praise for his proposal to ban Muslims from entering the country.

“I had been receiving tens of thousands of tweets, literally, tweets and calls and letters and everything.

Because I’ve been the one that predicted it.” Trump boasted. “And I’m the one that said what you should be doing. And I don’t want the credit.”

Trump is the master of taking in full daylight the thing he says he doesn’t want. He went on to tear into Clinton for being too politically correct to call the enemy by its rightful name.

When she uttered the phrase Islamic terrorism on Monday morning, Trump must not have heard because he didn’t say the shift in

cent interest. We then, instead of cash, pay the pension people with high-yielding Illinois bonds they could sell when funds are needed.

Please remind Madigan the middle class went out the window with Bill Clinton signing NAFTA, sending our middle class jobs to Mexico at a $5-an-hour labor rate. No middle class means no taxpayers for the state employees.

language meant she was suddenly suited to be president.

His attacks on others at least were a little more fleshed-out than his proposals to prevent further terror strikes. His old hobby horse was dragged out. “The current politically correct response cripples our ability to talk and to think and act clearly,” he said. His other advice centered on tightening immigration laws so that not just Muslims would be banned from coming in but all citizens from any country that has experienced an act of terrorism. Not only is that more impossible and inadvisable than his initial call to bar an entire religion, but it would hardly be a solution for this horror.

At times, he spoke as if the Orlando gunman, Omar Mateen, wasn’t born in the U.S. As for Mateen’s ability to obtain the AR-15 assault rifle that allowed him to shoot 100 people, killing 49, Trump said he would be speaking to the National Rifle Association, but not about changing the law.

Then Trump went back to his

political beginnings. On Fox News he questioned the patriotism of President Barack Obama. who “either is not tough, not smart, or he’s got something else in mind.” In case he wasn’t clear, he suggested that the problem may be that the president is a sympathizer of radical Islam.

Obama “doesn’t get it or he gets it better than anybody understands.

It’s one or the other.”

The performance should give second thoughts to Republicans who cling to the hope that Trump, after some stumbles, will grow into the role of presidential nominee and maybe even president. Even in the face of immense tragedy and continuing peril, he could not stop aggrandizing himself and maligning others, and showed no interest in the complicated national security questions that any president might be called upon to confront.

Once a birther, always a birther, and so much worse.

Sen. Kirk must have disdain for base

To the Editor: Last week, we were treated to the spectacle of Sen. Mark Kirk withdrawing his endorsement of the Republican nominee for president, despite his previous pledge to support the party’s nominee.

Apparently, this Republican officeholder believes he can win re-election in a very blue state by alienating the very same voters who selected this nominee.

Be a Crystal Lake library champion

To the Editor: I recently attended a community focus group meeting about whether the city of Crystal Lake needs a new library called “What about the Money.”

The facts presented indicated that building a new library to meet the needs of the community now and in the future is a need we cannot ignore. The approximate cost presented amounted to $34.1 million.

Without going in to great detail, they are not asking to widen Randall Road, nor are they asking to put in a community pool.

They are asking our support to provide you and your families the resources and programs we need to keep pace with our ever-changing world.

The library is not a luxury, in my opinion, but a need. The additional tax cost on a $200,000 home will be anywhere from $127-$150 depending the length of term on the sale of bonds. This amounts to $13 per month tops, or $3.25 per week. If you have any tax exemptions, it’s even less. If that means giving up a Starbucks or a $1 value meal or one less lottery ticket, or whatever, count me in.

To sum it up, in my opinion it’s a no brainer. In this day and age, when our state is cutting our resources and taking essential benefits from our communities due to its lack of leadership, we need to stand tall. Be part of this no brainer decision and be a library champion.

He couldn’t. Even before he asked for a moment of silence for the 49 victims in Orlando, Trump was lighting into Hillary Clinton and “how bad a president” she would be. His authority on that is a former Secret Service agent, who “has seen her under pressure and in times of stress, has stated that she lacks the temperament and integrity to be president.”

A campaign is an imperfect vehicle for judging how a presidential candidate would lead the country.

It’s as likely to inflame as enlighten.

The presumptive Republican nominee’s reaction to Orlando, via Twitter on Sunday and in the speech Monday, gave a glimpse of how commander-in-chief Trump might behave in the face of a terrorist act.

It wasn’t encouraging.

First, in his tweets, he seized on

Philly becomes 1st major city with soda tax “Thanks to the tireless advocacy of educators, parents, rec center volunteers and so many others, Philadelphia made a historic investment in our neighborhoods and in our education system today.”

By NATALIE POMPILIO The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA – Philadelphia became the first major American city with a soda tax on Thursday despite a multimillion-dollar campaign by the beverage industry to block it.

The City Council gave final approval to a 1.5 cent-per-ounce tax on sugary and diet beverages.

Only Berkeley, California, had a similar law. Soda tax proposals have failed in more than 30 cities and states in recent years. Such plans are typically criticized as disproportionately affecting the poor, who are more likely to consume sugary drinks.

But Democratic Mayor Jim Kenney sold the council on the idea with a plan to spend most of the estimated $90 million in new tax revenue next year to pay for prekindergarten, community schools and recreation centers.

“Thanks to the tireless advocacy of educators, parents, rec center volunteers and so many others, Philadelphia made a historic investment in our neighborhoods and in our education system today,” the mayor said after the vote.

The tax, which passed 13-4, is a hard-fought win for the city. The soda industry spent millions of dollars in advertising against the proposal, arguing the tax would be costly to consumers.

The plan also attracted national attention and dollars, with former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Texas billionaires John and Laura Arnold,

Opponents of a proposed sugary drink tax demonstrate June 8 outside City Hall in Philadelphia. Philadelphia is the first major American city with a soda tax after the City Council gave its final approval Thursday to a 1.5 cent-per-ounce tax on sugary and diet beverages. advocates for less consumption of sugary drinks, funding ads in support.

The American Beverage Association called the soda tax “discriminatory and highly unpopular.”

“The tax passed today is a regressive tax that unfairly singles out beverages, including low- and no-calorie choices,” it said in a statement.

The association and beverage bottling businessman Harold Honickman promised to fight the tax in court, with Honickman saying the tax would mean sales will go down and jobs will

be lost. He said he could file a lawsuit as soon as this weekend.

Teamsters Local 830 secretary-treasurer Daniel Grace agreed a legal battle is ahead.

Many communities where soda tax proposals have failed sought it as a way to discourage consumers from buying sugary beverages for health reasons.

The case certainly could be made for a healthier Philadelphia, where more than 68 percent of adults and 41 percent of children are overweight or obese.

But Kenney focused on public interest

over public health in making the argument to tax sugary drinks.

He said last week that Americans generally reject other people telling them what’s healthy for them, so his administration tried to stay away from that. He said any health benefits coming from the tax are a bonus.

The tax won’t start getting collected until Jan. 1, but it will enter into the fiscal budget July 1. The tax will be levied on distributors. If they pass it on entirely to consumers, a six-pack of 16-ounce bottles, for example, would go up $1.44.

Some of the money raised by the tax will go to pay for city employee benefits and pet projects of council members and to build up municipal budget reserves.

The No Philly Grocery Tax group had a big display on the plaza with stacks of drinks and graphs showing how much consumers would pay if the tax passed.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 2016

LOS ANGELES – The long-gestating film adaptation of the Tony Award-winning musical “Wicked” has been slated for a Dec. 20, 2019, release Universal Pictures announced Thursday.

No cast has been set yet, but composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz will be working adaptation with writer Winnie Holzman. Both collaborated on the stage musical, which is based on Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel.

The hugely popular show effectively introduced the broader public to stars Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel.

Stephen Daldry (pictured), best known for “Billy Elliott,” is set to direct.

Gay musicians respond to mass shooting in Orlando

Associated Press

Lin-Manuel Miranda and the cast of “Hamilton” perform Sunday at the Tony Awards in New York. “Hamilton” took home 11 Tony Awards. Miranda said Thursday that he is leaving his show this summer.

Lin-Manuel Miranda leaving ‘Hamilton’ July 9; vows to return NEW YORK – The news that no die-hard “Hamilton” fan – or anyone who hasn’t seen the Broadway smash yet – wants to hear has arrived: Lin-Manuel Miranda, its creator and star, is leaving the show this summer. But he promises to return “again and again.”

Miranda, who has been in the show since it made its debut off-Broadway in early 2015, said Thursday he will perform his last show July 9. Javier Munoz, the current understudy for Alexander Hamilton, who also took over from Miranda in “In the Heights,” will take over July 11.

But Miranda said he will happily return to the show from time to time and RadicalMedia plans to film the original cast performing the show at the end of June and will, at some point, make it available. “We are aware that history has its eyes on us,” Miranda said.

“For people who will say, ‘But I’ll never see Lin as Hamilton!’ – yes, you will,” Miranda said in an Irish pub in his Washington Heights neighborhood.

“I have written this insane part that I can’t seem to get tired of, that is new every night. ... I think this is a role I will be going back to again and again. I know it feels like the end of the world to a very small number of people now, but I plan to revisit this role a lot. “ He’ll also be offering fans a chance to see his final July 9th bow for just $10. Fans who donate just $10 to the Hispanic Federation will be entered to win two tickets to his last performance, an invitation to the after-party and airfare and hotel for those living outside of New York City. It’s being organized through Prizeo.

Elton John, Ricky Martin and Melissa Etheridge are among the gay artists using their voices to respond to the mass shooting at a Florida nightclub.

John said during a concert in Liverpool, England, at the Echo Arena this week that “we feel shocked, angry and we’re devastatingly sad for the people who died and the loved ones who are mourning.”

But the musician said that the wave of support around the world for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community after Sunday’s shooting proves that “we’re winning the fight against prejudice.”

Meanwhile, Martin urged his fans to call their elected representatives to enact tougher gun laws.

In a statement released Wednesday, Martin told fans to call their elected representatives “10 times each day until they act.”

Singer-songwriter Etheridge responded by writing a song titled “Pulse,” after the name of the club where 49 people were killed and dozens more injured.

Grammys to include streaming-only tracks

NEW YORK – Changes at the Grammy Awards include members voting in fewer categories at the 2017 show and songs only released on streaming services being in contention for nomination.

The Recording Academy announced changes Thursday that will affect the 2017 Grammys, to be presented Feb. 12 in Los Angeles. Streaming-only recordings – released on paid-subscription platforms like Spotify,

Apple Music and Tidal but not for sale on iTunes – will now qualify for Grammy nominations.

“We noticed that there were a number of higher-profile artists who were choosing – for philosophical reasons as much as anything – to release their music through streaming-only, and we did not want to be exclusionary toward them,” Bill Freimuth, the academy’s senior vice president of awards, said in an interview.

Other changes include the number of categories that Grammy members can vote in, which is reduced to 15 from 20. That number doesn’t include the top four categories – album of the year, song of the year, record of the year and best new artist – which all members are allowed to vote in.

Dustin Diamond owes Wis. $93,768 in back taxes

MADISON, Wis. – Former “Saved by the Bell” star Dustin Diamond owes the state of Wisconsin nearly $94,000 in back taxes.

The state Department of Revenue website for delinquent taxpayers shows that Diamond owes $93,768.

Diamond, who played Screech on the popular 1990s television show, was convicted last year in Wisconsin on charges he stabbed a man during a bar brawl on Christmas 2014. He was sentenced to 120 days in jail and released on probation in April.

Diamond was arrested May 25 and jailed two days for violating his probation order.

State records show he had tested positive for the painkiller oxycodone, which Diamond told his probation officer he was taking for a toothache.

on their language development, their coping skills and their social competence,” he said. Their participation also helps reduce adverse outcomes, including delinquency, substance abuse and truancy, he added.

This new report is more diverse than earlier AAP studies, including some traditionally overlooked populations, such as military, gay and incarcerated dads. One of the key findings: Even when dads are not living in the same household, they provide more than financial support, but are more apt to teach essential life skills, such as exploration, curiosity and taking safe risks.

On the playground, fathers are the ones who encourage their children to go to the top of the jungle gym, “while mothers are biting their nails,” said Yogman, who is an ardent advocate of paid parental leave for all. He feels so strongly about the value of more rough-and-tumble activities he writes a prescription for dads to play with their offspring.

Fred Schulman, 65, of Sanford, Florida, doesn’t need doctor’s orders to be more “hands-on” – both as a father and a husband. When he first wed in 1970, he was just 19 – and needed his mother’s signature to obtain a marriage license. The bride was pregnant,

“and that’s just what you did back then.”

The second time he was married, in 1992, he had an AARP card and was just much more mindful about relationships, he said. “I had the patience, the understanding and the hindsight to do better.”

A sales representative for a furniture manufacturer, Schulman never perceived himself as a workaholic, but the job required being on the road about one week a month. But even when he was home, he left most of the day-to-day parenting responsibilities of his two sons, now ages 46 and 41, to his wife.

Today, the gender roles are more fluid. His wife, Beth, a lawyer and accountant, is the primary breadwinner and he’s a stay-at-home father to 10-year-old Megan. If Schulman had to choose just one aspect of child-rearing where he’s totally immersed, it would be education, which he defines as going way beyond overseeing homework. He talks frequently to Megan about “instilling good values, about faith and gratitude” – conversations that were elusive as a younger dad.

“People aren’t born good; they learn to be good. This stuff all takes time ... and you can’t give them that time if you’re not there.”

Fathers are more involved in their children’s lives than ever before, yet they continue to face workplace hurdles based on old stereotypes, according to a study released last week by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Those findings are echoed by “second time dads” who viewed their primary role as breadwinners the first time around, but now are raising young children, with whom they interact differently.

“Nature has this all backwards,” said John Cutler, 71, of Chevy Chase, Maryland, the father of 9-year-old twins from a second marriage after raising a son and daughter, now ages 40 and 37.

“I just got swept away with work when I was younger,” he said. “I was home for dinner every night at 6:30, but my mind wasn’t there. I have more time now, and I’m just more relaxed.”

Cutler retired after 40 years as a partner for a high-powered CPA firm, but still works part time as an investment adviser. Still, the time pressures are not the same as when he was building his résumé.

“I don’t have to worry anymore about billing hours, begging for collec-

tions and work product rates. Now, my favorite time of the day is mornings, when Kim leaves early,” he said, referring to his wife, an insurance broker.

“I’m totally in charge. ... I get the kids ready for school. I make French toast and then I do laundry.”

Such cozy domesticity never would have been a possibility back in the 1970s, when Cutler first became a parent, he acknowledged. “But society has changed, men have changed . . . our values are better balanced now.”

The AAP report – the first on fatherhood since 2004 – reflects this period of rapid transformation. In 2012, about 189,000 – or 3.4 percent – of all stay-athome parents were men, according to U.S. census data. Almost one-third of that group was married to women working full time, a lingering effect, in part, of the 2008 recession, when the manufacturing sector was hardest hit.

Whether the division of labor is made for pragmatic or other reasons, the evidence shows kids reap substantial health benefits that are unique and complementary to the mother’s role, said Michael Yogman, an assistant clinical professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and co-author of the study.

“Fathers have quite an impact on their children’s health – academically,

28 Aerobic exercise is good for the brain Dear Dr. K: I do both aerobic exercises and resistance (strength) training exercises. Recently, I heard aerobic exercise might be better for the brain. Is there any truth to that?

Dear Reader: You probably are referring to a study published in February 2016 that got a lot of media attention. Before getting into the details of that study, it’s worth talking more about exercise and the brain.

It’s no surprise exercising your muscles keeps them (and the heart and lungs) in shape. And it’s no surprise exercising the brain – by doing puzzles, learning a new language, etc. – might keep the brain in shape. What many people don’t know is regular physical exercise also might benefit the brain, along with the muscles, heart and lungs.

The evidence for this is clearest in animals. It is less clear, however, in humans.

For example, studies of people who exercised regularly for eight to 26 weeks could find no clear brain benefit. I would argue, however, you wouldn’t expect to see brain benefits in that short a time.

In fact, this is an example of why it can be so hard to study human beings. Let me explain. If I were to design an ideal study of the effects of exercise on the brain, I would recruit at least a thousand human beings. I’d study their brain function in detail, at the beginning and end of the study, to look for changes.

Then I’d assign them, at random, to either exercise every day or to never exercise – every day, for 10 to 20 years. And I’d check in every day with each of the thousand people, to be sure they were either exercising or not exercising. I think you can see how difficult it would be to

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff perform my ideal study.

Because human studies are hard, the study you heard about used rats – mammals like us. Their brains are built like ours, although smaller, of course. Rats don’t live long, so you can study them for a good fraction of their life span. And, at the end of the study, you can take out their brains and count the number of brain cells. Humans won’t let you do that.

The study put the rats through one of four programs: regular, sustained aerobic exercise; high-intensity interval training (HIT); resistance training; or just a constant non-exercising (sedentary) state. Upon completion of these programs, researchers counted the number of brain cells in a part of the brain that is important in memory.

The three different types of exercise were compared to the sedentary state.

The regular aerobic exercise group of rats had more brain cells. That was not true of the high-intensity interval training or resistance-training groups.

The question is whether such a study in rats offers lessons to us humans. We just don’t know. But I think it could. So I’ve voted with my feet. Instead of four aerobic and three resistance-training exercises each week, I’ve switched to five and two. Who knows? Maybe it will help.

there are secular alternatives to AA. SMART Recovery offers a four-point program aimed at motivation to abstain, coping with cravings, managing negative emotions and finding a life balance. It has face-to-face support groups worldwide, as well as daily online meetings. Like AA, lifetime abstinence is the goal, and meetings and help are free of charge. Unlike AA, lifetime abstinence need not require lifetime attendance at meetings. For information, visit www. smartrecovery.org.

Another group, Women for Sobriety, might be of interest to you because it is non-theistic and aims to empower women and minorities.

The website, www.womenforsobriety.org, does not list its meetings (for reasons of privacy), so to find a group, you will have to make contact within the site.

Last, Secular Organizations for Sobriety (aka Save Our Selves) is sometimes described as a 12-step program minus the religious overtones. To find a list of meetings, visit www. sossobriety.org.

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

PRAYER to the BLESSED VIRGIN (Never Known to Fail)

This week, we are looking at covering an honor with an honor ... or not. The basic rule is for the defender to cover the last of touching honors, but only when it might gain a trick.

That is relatively easy to do when dummy leads the honor, but what about when it comes from declarer’s hand? Then the defender might not know which is the first and which is the last of touching honors. My recommendation is: When declarer leads the first honor, play low smoothly.

For example, look at today’s deal from the point of view of declarer.

How should he plan the play in three no-trump after West leads the spade king?

North made a negative double to show four hearts (or perhaps five or six if his hand was too weak for a two-heart response).

Declarer starts with seven top winners: one spade, four diamonds and two clubs. He does not have time to play on hearts, so must hope to collect four club tricks -- but who has the club queen?

Unless playing against experts or defenders who have read this column, there is a reliable method: After winning with his spade ace (presumably on the third round), South should immediately lead the club jack from his hand.

Maybe West will cover an honor with an honor. Or perhaps he will think about it for a while. If, though, he plays low without any hesitation, declarer should win with dummy’s ace and play a club back to his 10.

If West then produces the queen, South should congratulate his opponent on excellent defense.

Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel fruitful vine, splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity.

Oh star of the sea, help me and show me here you are my Mother. Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God Queen of Heaven and Earth I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in my necessity (make request).

There are none which can withstand your power.

O Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse to thee. (three times) Holy Mary, I place this prayer in your hands (three times) Say this prayer for three consecutive days and then you must publish and it will be granted to you.

Grateful Thanks C.K CAMPERS - Colman's RV, We Buy/Consign Used Campers And RV's!

Vincent, Hornbeck working on connection Pair became teammates for Hampshire Wildcats in elementary school

By JON STYF

jstyf@shawmedia.com As Jake Vincent jogged off the field Saturday at West Chicago, he already was thinking about his next football camp.

Vincent took the ACT on Saturday morning, then spent more than an hour at Next Level Athletic’s Rise & Fire event and was headed to Lake Forest for another camp and an opportunity to speak with the Wyoming coaching staff in attendance on one of the hottest days of the year so far.

The 6-foot-2, 170-pound Hampshire quarterback, who will be a senior in the fall, quickly changed his shoes, said hello, and was off. This is the summer life of a recruit looking for his first college scholarship offer.

On the field, Hampshire teammate Jared Hornbeck, at 6-0, 180 pounds, was working with fellow wide receivers at the camp.

The two will be some of the keys to Hampshire’s hopes this fall as the Fox Valley Conference reshuffles into one division, leaving the WhipPurs as the smallest school with an

“I’m not worried,” Vincent said.

“It’s still just football. I think we’ll be fine.”

Vincent threw for 2,665 yards last season with 31 touchdowns and 13 interceptions, while Hornbeck caught 51 passes for 1,034 yards with 13 of those scores. He averaged 20.2 yards per catch.

No game was bigger than the firstround playoff game at DeKalb, a 57-44 loss, when the two paired up for five

touchdowns.

That connection goes way back.

In first grade, the two met. In third grade, they began playing together on the Hampshire Wildcats. Vincent always was the quarterback, but Hornbeck played running back, and both were defensive backs then.

Now, they work on that connection daily.

“We’ve just been playing catch every day,” said Hornbeck, who will attend Western Illinois’ camp with Vincent on Friday. “With the other receivers, too. We’re all getting catches.”

Those other receivers are Erik Starrenburg, Cameron Fleury, Connor Burke and Nic Rummell.

“Jared is the leader of the group,” Vincent said. “(With all the work), I feel much better than when we started.”

Both plan to visit Southern Illinois later in the summer and competed at Northwestern’s 7-on-7 tournament Sunday, where the Whip-Purs were 3-0-1.

“We played most of these teams (in the FVC) last year, and Huntley was our crossover, and they’ll be one of the tougher teams we face this season,” Hornbeck said. “All the 7-on-7s, our coach has us play the toughest teams that are at the tournament, as well, so that gives us a good experience against the best teams.”

R-B board discusses turf football field, approves baseball/softball field repairs

By JON STYF

jstyf@shawmedia.com

What to watch Pittsburgh at Cubs, 1 p.m., ABC The Pirates will travel to Chicago for a series opener against the Cubs with a pitching matchup of Jake Arrieta vs. Francisco Liriano.

RICHMOND – The Richmond-Burton District 157 school board continued discussions on the future of its football field on Wednesday night, along with voting to approve repairs for its baseball and softball facilities.

“This is very conceptual,” R-B Superintendent Dan Oest said while presenting rough cost estimates to the board. “We’re just exploring. I know there is some interest, some conversations took place, so we’re just exploring, bringing back some general, very general, information here with cost.”

Oest presented a rough estimate of $1 million to install turf on the football field, but the board decided to gather more information on current and projected field maintenance costs before further discussion. That information, which will be collected from neighboring schools such as Lake Zurich and Vernon Hills, will be presented at the board’s next meeting Aug. 17.

“I don’t even think it’s financially feasible,” board member Tom Gough said. “It’s not even in the realm. Most

“This is very conceptual. We’re just exploring. I know there is some interest, some conversations took place, so we’re just exploring, bringing back some general, very general, information here with cost.”

Dan Oest

R-B superintendent people don’t realize that it’s only a seven- to 10-year life until you have to resurface it. There’s a lot involved down the road on a turf field. There’s a lot, within 10 years, that you have to maintain.”

Several board members brought up that it would be difficult to get the public’s backing on the costly project, especially with the future of state funding and pensions uncertain. One benefit to a turf field is that more sports and activities can use the field more often. Another is the alleviated issues of a grass

field getting torn up and turning to mud after rain.

“I think it’s feasible, and I would like to see it done eventually,” school board President Steve Holtz said.

Oest mentioned that Geneseo’s recent turf projected had an estimated cost of $850,000. Though not specifically mentioned at the meeting, Woodstock’s discussions to put turf on Larry Dale Field were stalled last summer despite raising $800,000 in pledges toward the project. The total Woodstock project was estimated at $1,070,000. Huntley remains the only area school with a turf football field.

The R-B board did approve new backstops and netting behind the fence on its softball and baseball fields, estimated at $50,000, as well as $40,000 to $46,000 in estimated repairs to the infields of the school’s three softball and baseball fields.

“It would be lifted, graded, a new surface,” R-B athletic director Pat Elder told the board. “On the baseball field, the pitcher’s mound and batters’ box need to really be addressed. There are some lips between the grass and dirt.

It would essentially be a new surface.”

Fox cancels practice to conclude veteran minicamp

portant.

“So much of it is a culture: how you practice, how you compete, how you do your job every day,” Fox said. “I’ll give you an example, I went back and looked at OTAs from a year ago. It’s much more competitive, much more high speed. This game is about playing it fast, and you have to practice it fast.”

Fox mentioned key returning players who couldn’t participate in last year’s spring workouts because of injuries (Lamarr Houston, Willie Young) and those who weren’t even on the roster yet (Tracy Porter, Harold Jones-Quartey) and how that helps the progression.

“I think the more you do it, the better you get, and it relates to a lot of guys on the team this year,” he said.

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com LAKE FOREST – The Bears got a pleasant surprise Thursday – no practice.

After stretching, John Fox huddled with the team at Halas Hall and announced practice had been canceled, to the players’ delight, which means nearly six weeks of summer vacation for the Bears before they have to report July 27 to Bourbonnais.

“They’ve earned it. I don’t just do that because I feel like it,” Fox said.

“They worked real hard. We had great participation, and they worked extremely hard. They earned it.”

The conclusion of the mandatory veteran minicamp marks the end of the 10-week offseason training program, which began in mid-April with strength and conditioning. Fox’s message as he bids farewell to his players for the summer had a parent-child theme to it. We are set to enter the time of the year when no coach wants to have his phone ring with news about one of his players.

Moeaki has struggled with injuries since productive rookie campaign in 2010

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com

• Friday, June 17, 2016

With minicamp concluded, the Bears signed two veterans who tried out with the team recently – tight end Tony Moeaki and defensive lineman Marquis Jackson.

Moeaki, who played high school football at Wheaton-Warrenville South, appeared in 11 games for the Falcons last season and had three catches for 58 yards and a touchdown. He played in six games for the Seahawks in 2014 and two for the Bills in 2013.

Moeaki’s best season came with the Chiefs during his rookie campaign in 2010, when he started 15 games and had 47 catches for 556 yards and three touchdowns. The 6-3, 252-pounder out of Iowa missed all of 2011 with a torn ACL but returned in 2012 to start 14 games and catch 33 passes for 453 yards. He fractured his shoulder in August

2013 before being waived.

The 29-year-old hasn’t been fully healthy and productive in four seasons, but will factor in the competition to be Zach Miller’s backup tight end with Khari Lee, Rob Housler, Gannon Sinclair, Greg Scruggs and Ben Braunecker.

Jackson worked out for the Bears during the rookie minicamp and is Malik’s twin brother. Malik Jackson played for Fox in Denver and recently signed a massive contract with the Jaguars.

Marquis Jackson has not played in an NFL game. He played junior college ball, then was a two-time All-sWAC player at Texas Southern and spent a year at Portland State.

To make room for Moeaki and Jackson, the Bears waived defensive lineman Kenton Adeyemi and linebacker Don Cherry.

They still have one open spot on the roster.

The Associated Press

CLEVELAND – From the edge of elimination to the brink of history.

LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers have pushed the NBA Finals to their limit. Game 7 is necessary.

James scored 41 points, delivering another magnificent performance with the season on the line, Kyrie Irving added 23, and the Cavs sent the finals packing for California by beating the rattled Golden State Warriors, 115-101, Thursday night to even this unpredictable series and force a decisive final game.

Cleveland saved its season for the second time in four days and will head back to Oakland’s Oracle Arena for Sunday’s climactic game with a chance to become the first team to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals, and more importantly, give this title-starved city its first major sports championship since Dec. 27, 1964.

“I want to win for sure,” said James, who added 11 assists and eight rebounds. “But I want to give everything I’ve got and we’ll see what happens. We forced a Game 7. It’s going to be a fun one.”

The Warriors never imagined being in this spot. The defending champions, who powered their way to a record 73 wins in the regular season, won the first two games by 48 combined points.

But MVP Stephen Curry and Co. have lost their touch, their poise and are in danger of seeing their historic season – and a second title – vanish.

Curry was ejected with 4:22 left after he was called for his sixth personal foul, cursed several times at an official and fired his mouth guard into the front row, striking a fan. Curry finished with 30 points, Klay Thompson had 25 and Draymond Green, back from a one-game suspension, had 10 rebounds.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr felt the officiating was biased against Curry.

“He gets six fouls called on him,

three of them were absolutely ridiculous,” Kerr said. “As the MVP of the league, we’re talking about these touch fouls in the NBA Finals. I’m happy he threw his mouthpiece.”

On Wednesday, James called Game 7, “the two best words ever.”

He’ll live them once more, thanks to a spell-binding effort – the two-time champion had a hand in 27 consecutive points during a stretch in the second half – and put away the Warriors after they trimmed a 24-point deficit to seven in the final period. James scored 14 in the fourth before checking out to a thunderous ovation in the final minutes as Cleveland fans chanted, “Cavs in 7!” and “See you Sunday!”

“It’s LeBron being LeBron,” Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said. “He’s one of the greatest of all-time. Our back was against the wall and he took it upon himself, him and Kyrie, they put us on their backs. They’ve got us to where we wanted to be and that’s Game 7.”

In typical Cleveland fashion, there were some heart palpitations in the fourth. The Cavs were up, 70-46, in the third, and when J.R. Smith blindly dropped a lob pass to a trailing James for a dunk, Quicken Loans shook with noise and thousands of fans packing a plaza outside the building began thinking about where they might spent Father’s Day.

NEW YORK – Now it’s certain: David Wright will be sidelined for the foreseeable future.

That’s a scenario the New York Mets have become painfully familiar with the past few years.

Wright had surgery Thursday to repair a herniated disk in his neck, and it’s unclear how long the oft-injured third baseman might be out. The team did not provide an estimated time frame for Wright’s potential return, but the 33-year-old captain is expected to miss most of the remainder of the season – perhaps all of it.

“I think as an organization we’ve got to say it’s going to be quite a while,” manager Terry Collins said. “Even if it’s two months out, you’re still talking about September, where you can increase the rosters anyway. So we’ve got to certainly make sure we consider ourselves, until September, that he’s not going to be around.”

Suzuki’s milestone raises familiar questions

By NOAH TRISTER

The Associated Press When Japanese slugger Sadaharu Oh hit his 756th home run in 1977, the reaction in the U.S. was predictably mild.

An impressive feat, of course – but hardly comparable to Hank Aaron’s 755.

“It was regarded as a curiosity,” baseball historian John Thorn said Thursday. “At that time, the perception was that the quality of play in the Japanese majors was at best the equivalent of Triple-A.” Almost four decades later, another Japanese star has surpassed a lofty mark set by one of baseball’s most famous players – with the help of stats accumulated overseas. On Wednesday night, Ichiro Suzuki reached 4,257 hits in the Japanese and North American major leagues, passing Pete Rose’s total from Major League Baseball. Although the accomplishment was met with admiration around the sport, it’s not easy to put Suzuki’s feat in context.

Rose remains the MLB hits leader with 4,256. Suzuki had 1,278 hits for Orix in Japan’s Pacific League (199200), and Wednesday he increased his total to 2,979 with the Seattle Mariners,

The Miami Marlins’ Ichiro Suzuki takes a practice swing before batting during the ninth inning against the Padres on Wednesday in San Diego. Suzuki hit a double in the at-bat. With the hit, Suzuki’s combined career hits in Japan and MLB surpassed Pete Rose’s MLB record of 4,256 career hits.

New York Yankees and Miami Marlins.

Rose was quoted recently by USA Today as saying: “I’m not trying to take anything away from Ichiro, he’s had a Hall of Fame career, but the next thing you know, they’ll be counting his highschool hits.”

The fanfare surrounding Suzuki is nowhere near what Rose received when he passed Ty Cobb’s hit total in 1985. But Suzuki has established himself as a star

it’s a

L A E D G B!

in the U.S., and that may make it easier for people to take his Japanese stats seriously. That’s in contrast to Oh, who hit 868 home runs over 22 seasons with the Yomiuri Giants, but was never a familiar face in America the way Suzuki is.

Suzuki was 27 when he made his debut in the U.S. with the Mariners in 2001.

He hit .350 that year with 56 stolen bases and won American League MVP honors.

“I think he’s one of the premier hitters ever,” Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. “He got his hits [in Japan] and he’s working on moving up on 3,000 here – one of the great hitters in the game.”

Thorn describes Japan’s top level of baseball as somewhere between the U.S. major leagues and the top of the minors.

“It’s quadruple-A,” he said. “The best players in the Japanese majors would be outstanding players here in the U.S., and you see it every year.”

But that doesn’t mean Suzuki’s hits in Japan were the same as Rose’s in the U.S. – especially because Rose’s total doesn’t include what he did in the minors.

“While you think you’re measuring apples against apples, it’s really apples against boxcars,” Thorn said.

Minnesota manager Paul Molitor

was Suzuki’s hitting coach in 2004 with Seattle when he set MLB’s single-season hits record with 262 – but when asked recently about whether Suzuki’s career total should make him baseball’s hit king instead of Rose, Molitor wasn’t buying it.

“No offense to my friend, but no,” Molitor said. “It’s right to acknowledge the combination, but I do think there has to be something separate. I don’t know how you compare the leagues and say they are the same.”

This conundrum is nothing new. It’s hard to compare stats from different leagues and countries, and it’s also hard to compare them within MLB across different eras. Bob Gibson posted a 1.12 ERA in 1968, and the mound was then lowered to 10 inches. Was Gibson’s mark any more impressive than Pedro Martinez’s 1.74 in 2000?

The same types of questions surround Rose and Suzuki, two different players with different styles – whose careers followed very different paths.

“There’s always a story behind the stats, which is good, because that’s what statistics are all about,” Thorn said.

“They’re signposts. They are not the royal road to knowledge.”

CUBS VS. PITTSBURGH, 1:20 P.M. FRIDAY, ABC, AM-670

Cubs catcher Willson Contreras tags out the New York Mets’ Marc Krauss at home plate during a spring training game April 1 in Las Vegas. The Cubs called up Contreras on Thursday from Triple-A Iowa. ing prospect in baseball, depending on the ranking.

He’ll be the Cubs’ third catcher, fast-tracking his receiving and game-management education under the guidance of Ross and struggling veteran Miguel Montero.

Montero, who lockered next to Contreras in spring training and checked in with him again during an injury rehab assignment last month, congratulated Contreras via Twitter:

“Brother welcome to the big show.

I’m proud of you …”

Montero’s struggles at the plate and behind it as he has battled the back issue that put him on the DL might have influenced Contreras’ timeline. Montero is hitting .210 with three homers and a .677 OPS in 34 games.

Contreras, last year’s Southern League batting champion, was hitting .350 with nine home runs and a 1.030 OPS in 54 games for Iowa.

WHITE SOX AT CLEVELAND, 6 P.M. FRIDAY, CSN, AM-890

Lack of run support for Quintana continues

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

CLEVELAND – Jose Quintana is pitching for the White Sox on Friday, and that can mean only one thing. The Sox’s lineup will be good for one or two runs against Indians right-hander Trevor Bauer.

This is how it always goes for Quintana, the tough-luck left-hander who continues to pitch with steady effectiveness but carries on with miniscule run support. For whatever reason, the Sox simply don’t score when Quintana takes the mound.

“I’ve never been a part of something like that,” said Todd Frazier, a first-year Sox who is witnessing for the first time what’s been happening for years. “For a month now he’s doing the same thing.

We have to find a way to get over that hump.”

In fact, Quintana has been doing the same thing for four years.

“You’re conscious of it, for sure,” Frazier said. “After the game it’s like, ‘We let another one slip by. He gave up one run and they only scored two or three.’ You feel for the guy.”

Maybe Quintana should tear the club- Jose Quintana house apart, throw his arms up and shout “Enough! Score me some freaking runs.” But that’s not his style. A calm, workmanlike, unselfish demeanor is what makes him one of the most popular players in the room.

“I sometimes feel frustrated because we don’t get runs, but I know the hitters try to do their best every time,” Quintana said. “I don’t have control over that.”

In five seasons in the majors, all as a Sox starter, Quintana has posted ERAs of 3.76, 3.51, 3.32, 3.36 and 2.66, the latter in 2016 with a 5-7 record. He is the only pitcher since 1901 to log 200 innings in each season with an ERA of 3.54 or lower and not win more than nine games, and his 52 no-decisions from 2012 to 2015 were the most in a four-year span in major league history.

Quintana, who ranks fourth in the American League in ERA, has received a total of four runs of support over his past six starts and is 0-6 during that span. According to STATS, he’s the first Sox pitcher to receive zero or one run of support in six straight starts since Ross Baumgarten went seven in a row in 1980.

Perhaps it has gotten to the point where hitters, wanting badly to turn the tide for Quintana, don’t stay within themselves when Quintana pitches.

That seems somewhat far-fetched, but

crazier things have happened.

“You have to control what you have to control,” Frazier said. “When he’s been pitching the last couple times I think we haven’t been controlling what we’re taught to control – pitch selection, getting the guy over, that kind of stuff.

Not putting too much pressure on yourself.”

The Sox, 10-23 in their past 33 games after going 23-10 in the first 33, are embarking on a tough and important road trip that continues in Boston. They’re 2½ games behind first-place Cleveland in the AL Central, and Quintana is 5-2 with a 2.71 ERA against them.

Some runs would be nice.

Notes: The Sox have requested waivers on Mat Latos and Jimmy Rollins for the purpose of granting their unconditional release. ... Oklahoma right-hander Alec Hansen, drafted 49th overall, signed for full slot value of $1,284,500.

• Friday, June 17, 2016

After another tough day for the Cubs against an opponents’ running game Wednesday in a 12-inning loss to the Nationals, Cubs manager Joe Maddon was asked about shoring up that weakness.

“We’ve been trying,” he said. “We’ve been trying.”

Thursday, they stepped up the efforts, making the call to bring up top catching prospect Willson Contreras from Triple-A Iowa for his big-league debut.

Contreras, who joins the team Friday for the series opener against the division-rival Pirates, showed off in spring training what might be the strongest catching arm on the club.

Maddon said last week in Philadelphia he expected Contreras to debut this season, hinting he could be ready soon.

“I’ve heard nothing but glowing reports about him,” Maddon said then, cautioning only against the risk of disrupting the effectiveness of the best-performing starting staff in the majors.

“He’s doing everything properly,” Maddon added. “I’m hearing a lot about his defense.”

Contreras, who is expected to take on a major role with the team when veteran David Ross retires after this season, is the first- or second-ranked catch-

A converted third baseman, Contreras, 24, was signed by the previous front office regime as an amateur free agent in 2009 from the same Venezuela hometown as former Cubs pitching ace Carlos Zambrano (Puerto Cabello).

“I think he’s got as much ability as anybody at that position,” Cubs catching coach Mike Borzello said of Contreras during an outstanding spring. “He’s the kind of athletic, strong, strongarmed, powerful-legged, young catcher that you don’t come across very often.”

Tim Federowicz, who has been on the big-league roster since Montero went on the DL in late April (remaining as the third catcher), is to be designated for assignment to make room.

The Cubs have allowed the second-highest total of stolen bases in the majors (51). They’ve caught only 11 trying to steal for the second-lowest caught-stealing percentage (17.7 percent).

“It is what it is,” Maddon said after Wednesday’s game. “So far, our record’s pretty good. So I don’t think it’s hurt us a lot to this point.”

During an interview with the Des Moines Register last week, Contreras said: “I’m patient because I know who I am, and I’m having a good season. So sooner or later they have to do something.”

Echoing sentiments he expressed in spring training, he added: “As soon as I get there, I will never be back.”

10 COPA AMERICA CENTENARIO QUARTERFINAL: UNITED STATES 2, ECUADOR 1

Dempsey, Zardes lead U.S. into semis

By TIM BOOTH

The Associated Press SEATTLE – Clint Dempsey scored for the third straight game and set up Gyasi Zardes for a tap-in goal, boosting the United States into the Copa America semifinals with a 2-1 win over Ecuador on Thursday night.

Playing before a boisterous and almost completely partisan home crowd in the soccer-mad Pacific Northwest, the U.S. won a knockout game against a nation outside its region for only the second time and will play Argentina or Venezuela on Tuesday in Houston.

Dempsey’s 52nd international goal, five behind Landon Donovan’s American record, put the U.S. ahead in the 22nd minute. Zardes guided Dempsey’s cross into the net in the 65th for his

sixth goal and a 2-0 lead.

Michael Arroyo scored for Ecuador in the 74th minute, making for a tense ending, and Enner Valencia missed a pair of great chances moment later on a pair of headers.

A chippy game was costly for the U.S. American midfielder Jermaine Jones was shown a red Clint card during a 52nd-minDempsey ute confrontation that also saw Ecuador winger Antonio Valencia sent off after a second yellow card for a harsh tackle on Alejando Bedoya along the sideline .

U.S. players immediately rushed in to the scrum after Valencia’s tackle, and Jones raised an arm at Arroyo.

Colombian referee Wilmar Roldan im-

mediately showed a red card to Jones.

Jones will be suspended for the semifinal along with U.S. midfielder Alejandro Bedoya and Bobby Wood, who both got their second yellow cards of the tournament. Ecuador coach Gustavo Quinteros also appeared to be sent off late in the match.

The only previous knockout win for the U.S. over a non-CONCACAF team was against Spain in the 2009 Confederations Cup semifinal. The only other U.S. appearance in the Copa semifinals was in 1995, when it advanced to the final four by beating Mexico, then was eliminated by Brazil.

Dempsey appeared energized playing in the home stadium of his Seattle Sounders, and his header provided the U.S. a chance to relax after a tense opening. Wood was tremendous all

Anis to compete for refugee team

In this image taken from video June 9, Syrian refugee swimmer Rami Anis trains in Ghent, Belgium, for the Rio Olympics.

“He didn’t want to accept charity,” said Carine Verbauwen, a former Olympic swimming finalist who later became a coach. The best deal she had for him was that he would not have to pay to swim at her club S&R Rozebroeken, some 30 miles west of Brussels. It doesn’t quite have the ring of Galatasaray, but at least his Olympic dream was rekindled.

His problems, however, were not solved. Belgian bureaucracy loomed.

After Anis was recognized as a refugee, he had to look for housing. To get that, he had to prove how much he made.

But for social security to give him such a paper, he had to have housing first, Verbauwen said.

Verbauwen said it was a Belgian Catch-22. “We didn’t get the house because we didn’t have the paper. We didn’t get the paper because we didn’t have a house,” Verbauwen said.

So she looked around among friends and family for a kind spirit and instead of six hours of travel for two hours of training, he now only lives 15 miles from the pool.

Now, it is work on his form that counts, trying to overcome a half-year layoff from top-class training. Verbauwen said that for one month of rest, it takes two to come back. Little wonder Anis will not be challenging for 100-meter butterfly medals in Rio. “If you don’t swim six months then you have lost a lot,” Verbauwen said.

“It was very, very hard for him to do the training with my swimmers. He was so tired he could not do it anymore,” she said.

Anis just wants to come out of the water, head held high.

“God willing, I will do a good enough job that [will satisfy] the Olympic Committee and the Syrian people,” he said.

GHENT, Belgium – Rami Anis braved the bombs of Aleppo, then was forced to leave his Syrian home for Turkey five years ago – all the while refusing to give up on an elusive dream of swimming in the Olympics.

He trained at the prestigious Galatasaray sports club in Istanbul, putting in lap after lap after lap, month after month. But soon, frustration set in because he was a refugee. That short window when a good athlete can truly become elite was closing fast. And he knew it.

“I could not swim for the club. I was just training without taking part. All the while, the war was lasting longer.

And I was losing my best years as an athlete,” he said in an interview with the Associated Press.

So last year, at age 24 already, he took a different dive into the water, and crossed on a rubber boat from Turkey into Greece – a stretch of Aegean Sea that has become the tomb of all too many refugees – before setting off on a 2,000-mile trek through the Balkans and onward to Germany and eventually Belgium.

Now, as part of the first official refugee team at the Games, Anis will be going to Rio – having lost some of his edge and many illusions along the way.

Still, he clings to one.

“I wish from my heart that there will be no more refugees and we can go back and participate for our country,” Anis said.

Not so long ago, he dreamt of being among the best swimmers in the world.

He had competed in two world championships and a short-course world cup, finished second at the Asian championships. In short, he was looking to break through at an international level.

After arriving in Europe last fall, he thought he could make money swimming, and provide for his family. All too often, however, swimming costs money instead of making it, despite the allure of Olympic gold.

12 U.S. OPEN

Storms stop Round 1 of Open

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

OAKMONT, Pa. – Even a rain-soaked Oakmont didn’t keep the U.S. Open from delivering its usual dose of frustration.

Just not the kind anyone expected.

Defending champion Jordan Spieth, who had spent five days preparing on the firm and fiery greens of Oakmont, posed over a wedge into the 17th that landed behind the hole, spun back and kept rolling until it trickled down a slope into the bunker.

“You’ve got to be KIDDING me! How is that in the bunker?” Spieth said before slinging his club toward the bag.

Masters champion Danny Willett sat in a cabin behind the seventh tee for more than an hour as his group waited out the first of three rain delays. When the weather cleared, players were sent back onto the course without having a chance to warm up again.

“You’re in a U.S. Open, they don’t give you a chance to even hit a few balls,” Willett said, and he wasn’t alone in that observation.

Most frustrating of all?

Only nine players finished the first round, and 78 players didn’t even tee off.

Play was to resume at 7:30 a.m. Friday.

It was the worst rain delay in a U.S. Open since no one finished the opening round at Bethpage Black in 2009 in a tournament that ended on a Monday.

The first round was suspended for third and final time just as 28-year-old qualifier Andrew Landry was finishing up a dream round in his U.S. Open debut. Coming off two straight bogeys, Landry drilled his approach to about 10 feet on the par-4 ninth when the horn sounded as a violent storm approached. He was at 3-under par.

“I was trying to get it in,” Landry said.

“But it’s hard when you’ve got a couple of 60-footers out here. And it’s the U.S. Open.

So you’ve just got to be patient with it.”

Fans leave the course during the third rain delay of the first round of the U.S. Open on Thursday at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pa. He wasn’t the only player to make a quick impression in his first U.S. Open. On the short list of players who finished was Scottie Scheffler, who just finished his sophomore year at Texas and opened with a 69.

“I feel pretty good. It hasn’t really sunk in yet,” he said. “There’s definitely some scores out there to be shot. We’re used to playing short to all these pins, and now we’ve got to worry about controlling our spin. And you’ve really, really got to be on the fairway to attack these pins again.”

Willett, Rory McIlroy and Rickie Fowler could not get off the course soon enough.

They played in the same group and were a combined 14 over through 13 holes. Fowler has missed the cut in three of his last five events.

It was evident immediately how much the rain affected the course. Denny McCa-

rthy, the first to hit a shot in the 116th U.S. Open, struck what he thought was a good approach to No. 1. The fairway slopes sharply downhill to a green that runs away from players, and the typical play is to land it some 25 yards short and let it run onto the green and, hopefully, have it stay there. His shot stopped short of the green.

But while the greens were soft, they still were quick as ever.

Starting on No. 10, Bryon DeChambeau had a 40-foot birdie attempt that didn’t stop until it was some 35 feet beyond the hole.

Two holes later, Spieth hit a wedge that checked up about 10 feet short of the hole and then trickled a few inches toward the cup. And it didn’t stop. Turn by turn, the ball kept moving until it settled 2 feet away.

Even then, Spieth gave the putt great care and rolled in it.

Unknown Landry reaches top of leaderboard

By WILL GRAVES

The Associated Press OAKMONT, Pa. – Andrew Landry shook his head when the horn sounded signaling yet another delay at drenched Oakmont.

Ten feet away from completing the round of his professional life, the world’s 624thranked golfer had to settle for going to bed with his name atop the leaderboard Thursday at the stop-start U.S. Open.

When play was halted for a third and final time just before 4 p.m. local time, Landry glanced at his caddie, picked up his ball mark and shrugged his shoulders.

Sure he would have liked a shot at that

birdie putt he set up with a mid-iron from 183 yards on the par-4 ninth – his last hole of the day – before the storms rolled through again. For now ending his first day in a major tournament at 3 under with the rest of the 156-player field looking up at him will have to do.

“I’ve hit the ball really well today and just made a bunch of putts and just kept it going,” said Landry, who earned a spot by surviving sectional qualifying last week in Tennessee.

And going. And going. Heady territory for the three-time All-American at Arkansas who has struggled generating any kind of momentum since turning pro in 2009.

Landry arrived at Oakmont making the cut only five times in 11 events during his rookie year on the PGA Tour, including a career-best tie for 41st last week in Memphis.

Before Thursday, the most notable day of his career came in his victory in a Web. com Tour event in Colombia last year, a continent away from his hometown in Nederland, Texas.

The transition to the big time has been difficult. He didn’t make it to the weekend in his first five events this season, and his best AP photo round of the year is a 2-under 68 he shot in Andrew Landry makes a par the third round of the Byron Nelson.

If he gets down in two from 10 feet Friday putt on the 11th hole Thursday in Oakmont, Pa. morning, he’ll somehow surpass that.
