Good morning, McHenry County ...

Always fishing for new fishing spots After a few days off, I spent some time catching up on news I’d missed and came across Sarah Nader’s photos from Sunday’s Hooked on Fishing hosted by the McHenry County Conservation District at the Hollows Conservation Area in Cary.

Fishing with my son and a few buddies from the area is how I spent Father’s Day weekend in the Northwoods. It’s an annual trip going back about 15 years that evolved from single guys cutting loose to throwing lures with my 11-yearold. Seems we need fewer Leinenkugel’s each year, which is both appropriate and cheaper.

My dad was a great role model and taught me many wonderful things, but fishing wasn’t one of them. He was a city kid from the South Side of Chicago, and fishing wasn’t part of his life. But I try to do it as often as I can – even my 7-year-old daughter has her own purple fishing pole that’s caught plenty of panfish.

In the constant flood of multitasking and

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Kevin Lyons technology of daily life, I love the quiet, beauty and solitude of fishing for its task singularity.

Clears your head. Teaches patience.

What it took me a while to learn is that you don’t always have to drive five hours north to find a decent spot to fish. We’ve pulled some nice largemouth out of Three Oaks Recreation Area, Geneva Lake, Brookdale and Pleasant Valley conservation areas.

SEXUAL ASSAULT SENTENCE

POLICE INTERVIEWING GIRLS FOUND IN MAN’S HOME

A 28-year-old McHenry man who admitted Monday to sexually assaulting a young girl was sentenced to six years in prison. The Mexico native also faces deportation as a result of the conviction.

D-200 BOARD TO REVOTE

The Woodstock School District 200 Board will vote again on Superintendent Mike Moan’s contract after a Woodstock resident accused the board of violating the Open Meetings Act. The board approved a new contract and raise for Moan at its May 10 meeting under the “approval of routine personnel matters” section of the agenda. See story, page A7.

When police showed up at Lee Kaplan’s home in the Philadelphia suburbs last week, they found a dozen girls living there, the eldest of whom was an 18-year-old who authorities said had been “gifted” to him by her parents as repayment for a debt.

With Kaplan and the teen’s parents now jailed, authorities began interviewing some of the other girls Monday, seeking evidence of crimes against them and trying to piece together their lives at the home in Feasterville.

Acting on a tip Thursday, police found Kaplan, 51, and a dozen girls ranging in age from 6 months to 18 years. The eldest told authorities she and Kaplan have two children together.

Tim and Sandy Wierschke sit in their living room in 2013 with their dog, Kasey, in their former McCullom Lake home on Maple Hill Drive in McCullom Lake. Sandy was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme in 2006, which she alleges in a lawsuit was caused by pollution from nearby manufacturer Rohm and Haas. Sandy Wierschke, given just months to live when diagnosed, died Saturday, more than 10 years later. She was 54.

Given months to live, McCullom Lake woman lived a decade

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com McCullom Lake resident Sandy Wierschke was supposed to be dead six to nine months after doctors diagnosed her in 2006 with deadly glioblastoma multiforme brain cancer.

She made it more than 10 years, defying a disease that gives its victims a 3 percent chance of being alive five years after diagnosis. She also fought in court as one of the 33 plaintiffs who alleged in lawsuits that air and water pollution from a neighboring chemical plant gave them brain and pituitary tumors.

Wierschke, who lived to see the birth of her grandson and see the cases get settled out of court, died Saturday, surrounded by family. She was 54.

E-cigarette shops grapple with new FDA regulations Industry advocates claim regulations would shutter small businesses

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced new regulations on the e-cigarette industry in May, Larry Goldstein said a number of customers at No Leaf Vapor have asked what effect the rules might have.

While many in the industry have publicly expressed concerns that the more stringent regulations will put local shops out of business, Goldstein doesn’t think it will hurt the industry.

“They’re asking questions to be educated as to what it means, and we explain to them exactly what it is: Vaping’s not going away,” said Goldstein, the owner of No Leaf Vapor in Algonquin.

E-cigarettes, battery-powered devices in which a coil heats up a liquid solution to produce a water vapor, have become more popular nationally in recent years.

The trend has manifested itself locally in recent years as e-cigarette shops began popping up around McHenry County.

According to a 2015 study by the Centers for Disease Control, 12.6 percent of American adults had tried an e-cigarette once in their lifetime and 3.7 percent use them regularly.

In addition to banning sales to those younger than 18, a rule already implemented in Illinois, the FDA regulations will require manufacturers to submit pre-market applications to the FDA for any product that was introduced after Feb. 15, 2007.

Under the implementation timeline, the FDA expects manufacturers will continue selling products for up to two years while they submit product applications.

When the changes were announced, U.S. Secretary Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell said they were designed to prevent the risk of addiction in young e-cigarette users.

“Today’s announcement is an important step in the fight for a tobacco-free generation,” Burwell said in a statement. “It will help us catch up with changes in the

Employee Anthony Luciano exhales vapor while working May 26 at No Leaf Vapor in Algonquin.

“They’re asking questions to be educated as to what it means, and we explain to them exactly what it is: Vaping’s not going away.”

Larry Goldstein, Owner of No Leaf Vapor in Algonquin marketplace, put into place rules that protect our kids and give adults information they need to make informed decisions.”

Many in the e-cigarette industry, however, say the regulations could amount to a death sentence for small businesses and drive e-cigarette users back to smoking.

Vicki Vasconcellos, an e-cigarette shop owner and president of Illinois’s chapter of the Smoke Free Alternatives Trade Association, called the regulations “business-ending.”

She said business owners she’s spoken to have many unanswered questions about the changes – for instance, whether zero-nicotine vapors would need to go through the regulation process.

“There’s so many unanswered things, it appears the FDA doesn’t even know quite how to navigate this,” Vasconcellos said.

“I don’t think they’re very familiar with our product, and they’re going ahead with regulations and calling them standards when in fact they outlined no standards.”

She contends that earning FDA approval could cost small businesses $1 million

a product, a burden she said small businesses can’t bear in an industry focused on customization.

Vasconcellos said her recent survey of fellow business owners showed there are about 200 e-cigarette shops in Illinois, totaling about $52 million in gross sales.

Lobbyists in Washington, D.C., are focused on promoting the bill HR 2058, which would move the date for products to be grandfathered in without FDA approval.

Goldstein said he doesn’t think the regulations will sink the industry, although he feels the FDA did overstep its boundaries.

He questioned the $1 million a product figure being offered up by others in the industry and said he welcomed the new standards.

“We embrace regulation. We want the department to come in and inspect our facilities,” Goldstein said. “We don’t want higher taxes, because this is not a tobacco product, but any real vape shop has no issue with being told, ‘Your facility is going to be inspected.’ ”

Trustee boycotts meeting, plans to do so until Jacobson leaves office

Village president faces charges over cocaine, shotgun found at his home “The people have spoken, and I’m siding with the people.”

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HEBRON – While all Hebron trustees were present at Tuesday’s Village Board meeting, one was sitting in the audience.

Trustee Drew Georgi followed up on a pledge he made at the May 16 Village Board meeting when he said he would not participate as a trustee until Village President John Jacobson was out of office, and encouraged other trustees to do the same.

“There’s one person tonight who decided to not sit up here with the board, and I feel sorry that he’s doing this, but it’s a disservice to the people elected to do this job,” Trustee Mark Shepherd said during the meeting. “You might have personal problems with one or more of us on the board, but your protest does nothing more than by saving the village $75 by not paying you tonight.”

Shepherd was the only trustee to note Georgi’s absence during the meeting. Jacobson only acknowledged it by asking during roll call if Georgi was sitting as a member of the public.

Georgi’s boycott is in response to Jacobson’s March 22 arrest. Police said they found cocaine, drug paraphernalia and a shotgun and ammunition in his home. Since then Jacobson has led board meetings and refused to resign, despite a petition from more than 200 residents asking him to do so.

Jacobson said after the meeting he

Hebron Village President John Jacobson was arrested on drug and firearms charges after police found cocaine, drug paraphernalia and a shotgun and ammunition at his home after a March 17 incident. had no comment on his decision to not resign, or Georgi’s decision to sit out.

Georgi, who is running as a Democratic candidate for McHenry County Board District 6, said he doesn’t believe sitting out is interfering with his job as a trustee, and he will continue to sit out until Jacobson is out of office.

“Basically my feeling is now we know where they stand,” Georgi said of other trustees who decided not to participate in the boycott. “The people have spoken, and I’m siding with the people.”

Trustee Steve Vole said he chose not to sit out because he was elected to help coordinate the functions of the village.

“This is a commitment,” Vole said.

“Sitting in the audience is not a commitment – it’s an act of lunacy.”

Harvard resident Sherrie Ludwig was one of about 20 members in the

audience who came because she said she’s concerned about her business.

Ludwig rents out a booth for her jewelry business, Copper Horse, at Prairie Avenue Antiques, 9936 Main St., Hebron.

Ludwig said she’s sold her goods at the Kane County Flea Market for the last two months, and when she hands out a brochure to customers with her location in Hebron, they tell her, “You got a cokehead for a mayor.”

“You Google Hebron, what comes up? You see Jacobson’s troubles,” Ludwig said. “It’s not a thing I wish to be known for.”

Ludwig said that although there is a commercial space for sale down the street from Prairie Avenue Antiques, high water bills and the association with Jacobson make her not want to rent a space of her own in Hebron.

She said she supports Georgi’s efforts to boycott meetings.

“I support it because he’s tried everything but standing on his head to try and get some attention,” Ludwig said. “Everybody else is just sweeping this all under the rug, business as usual, no problem. What other protests can he make? What else can you do?”

McHenry man sentenced to 6 years in prison for sexually assaulting young girl

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A McHenry man will spend six years in prison after he admitted to sexually assaulting a girl who was younger than 13 years old at the time of the incident.

Margarito Nestor, formerly of the 4000 block of Lillian Street, pleaded guilty Monday to predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, a Class X felony. The felony conviction carries a sentencing range from no less than six

years to no more than 60 years in prison, with a period of mandatory supervised release ranging from three years to natural life.

In exchange for Margarito pleading guilty, all other Nestor charges against the defendant were dismissed by the state’s attorney’s office. Nestor, a Mexico native, also faces deportation as a result of the conviction.

The 28-year-old has to serve at least

85 percent of his sentence, but will receive credit for at least 279 days spent in McHenry County Jail where he had been since his arrest in lieu of $80,000 bail.

Nestor was charged in September of last year with two counts of predatory sexual assault of a child, and one count of aggravated sexual abuse.

Assistant State’s Attorney Kate Lenhard previously said Nestor forced oral sex on a female family member in 2013 in Crystal Lake, when the girl was about 8 or 9 years old.

hprokop@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The Woodstock School District 200 Board will reconsider the previously approved three-year contract and raise for Superintendent Mike Moan at its meeting Tuesday, after a Woodstock resident alleged that the board violated the Illinois Open Meetings Act. Press secretary for the Office of the Attorney General Annie Thompson said the office is looking into a complaint related to the school board’s May 10 Mike Moan meeting, when Moan’s contract was approved.

Although Thompson could not confirm who provided the complaint, Republican candidate for McHenry County recorder and Voters in Actions leader Joe Tirio said he filed it June 14.

Moan’s contract renewal was con-

sidered under the “approval of routine personnel matters” section of the agenda, and the agenda listed that a “full copy of the Personnel Report is available at the meeting.”

Tirio said the board should have posted a copy of the personnel report online if it was important enough to include at the meeting. Just looking at the agenda, Tirio said, there was no indication that Moan’s contract was up for renewal.

“Had we known beforehand, then there certainly would’ve been opportunity for people to speak and voice their opinion,” Tirio said. “And that may have affected their vote. But because we didn’t know, we couldn’t.”

The contract approved at the May 10 meeting represents a $13,020 raise from Moan’s current salary of $185,850, and a 2 percent salary increase for the next two years of the contract.

The board approved it, 6-0, with board President Carl Gilmore absent.

Gilmore has said that he supported the

board’s decision, noting Moan’s leadership in negotiating union contracts, being involved in the community and implementing the district’s one-to-one technology program.

Gilmore said Monday that while the board believes it acted appropriately in the way the vote was done, it decided to vote again at Tuesday’s meeting so there is transparency and people can comment on the contract.

District administration provides the board with agendas, Gilmore said, and he has not seen the complaint.

Executive Assistant to the Superintendent Lynn Mohan could not be immediately reached to comment on the complaint and why the personnel report is only available at the meeting.

On Tuesday’s meeting agenda, the item is listed under new business as “approval of superintendent contract extension 2016-2019.”

The school board meeting starts 7 p.m. at Clay Academy, 112 Grove St., Woodstock.

Continued from page A3 turns 2 next month. Her other wish besides becoming a grandmother was realized last year when Tim fulfilled her lifelong dream of visiting Hawaii.

Tim and his family stayed at her side on the last day, laughing, crying and telling stories. It was right after Emmett kissed her and said he loved her that she died.

“That’s what she was waiting for … she knew it was time and that we would be OK,” Tim said.

While many of the families had hoped to have their day in court, they agreed in 2014 to accept a settlement from Dow Chemical Co., which now owns Rohm and Haas, for undisclosed sums.

While Rohm and Haas has acknowledged that decades of dumping into an unlined pit by the plant’s former owners created a plume of contaminated groundwater, the company steadfastly has denied that contaminated water or air reached or sickened residents. Past and present owners of the plant have been working for the past two decades to clean up the contamination plume.

“All I can say is she never gave up, never gave up. To the bitter end, she knew it was an injustice. To her dying day, she knew the stuff in the water did it,” Tim said.

At least 14 other plaintiffs besides Sandy are deceased.

LOS ANGELES – The SUV that rolled down a driveway and killed “Star Trek” actor Anton Yelchin was being recalled because the gear shifters have confused drivers, causing the vehicles to roll away unexpectedly, government records show.

Yelchin, 27, a rising actor best known for playing Chekov in the rebooted series, died Sunday after his 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee pinned him against a mailbox pillar and security fence at his home, Los Angeles police said.

The 2015 model-year Grand Cherokees were part of a global recall of 1.1 million vehicles announced by automaker Fiat Chrysler in April, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration records show.

The agency urged the recall because of complaints from drivers who had trouble telling whether they put the automatic transmissions in park.

If they were not in park and a driver left the vehicle, it could roll away.

Fiat Chrysler expected to send recall notification letters to owners on May 16, according to a memo to dealers, but it’s not known whether Yelchin received or saw his letter.

The company is working on a fix and expects to have a software update ready in July or August.

Investigators were looking into the position of Yelchin’s gear shift at the time of the accident, Officer Jane Kim said. The actor had gotten out of the vehicle momentarily, but police didn’t say why he was behind it when it started rolling.

Fiat Chrysler said in a statement Monday that it was investigating and it was premature to speculate on the cause of the crash. It offered sympathies to Yelchin’s friends and family.

As of April, the company had reports of 212 crashes, 41 injuries and 308 property damage claims potentially caused by the shifters, it said in documents filed with the government.

The recalled vehicles, including nearly 812,000 in the U.S., have an electronic shift lever that toggles forward or backward to let the driver select the gear instead of moving along a track like a conventional shifter. A light shows which gear is selected, but to get from drive to park, drivers must push the lever forward three times.

City neighborhoods brace for deadly summer

By DON BABWIN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Shaquisha Gibson-Posey pulls out a grisly cellphone photo of her murdered brother whenever her 15-year-old son complains of being cooped up in the house. This is why you can’t go out in the neighborhood this summer, she tells him.

Treshaun Carr takes special precautions when he walks down the street, walking only on the driver’s side of parked cars so it’s less likely someone can jump out and shoot him.

Miyoshi Bates was sad but relieved when her son decided not to come home from his out-of-state college when classes ended last month.

Summer is arriving in Chicago, and those who live in the city’s most violent neighborhoods are bracing for what comes with it: a better chance of getting killed.

In any season, a half-dozen small communities on the south and west sides are dangerous places to be, accounting for more than half of Chicago’s violent deaths in only a fraction of its 230 square miles. But as nearly 400,000 young people pour out of school for their three-month vacation, the streets of North Lawndale, West Garfield Park, Englewood and several other neighborhoods become an especial-

News from across the state Hastert to report to prison in Minnesota this week

CHICAGO – Dennis Hastert’s attorney said the former U.S. House speaker will report to a federal prison in southeastern Minnesota this week to begin serving a 15-month sentence in his hush-money case.

Washington, D.C.-based attorney Thomas Green confirmed Monday in an email that the Illinois Republican will report to the Rochester Federal Medical Center.

Hastert has a Wednesday afternoon deadline to report.

Federal Judge Thomas Durkin said at Hastert’s April sentencing that the Rochester facility would be a good fit for the 74-year-old, because it specializes

With the city’s homicide toll already up by 98 over the same period last year, those who live in these communities and the organizations that serve them are deploying survival tactics to get through the summer – when people flee their sweltering homes to sit on the porch, cook out in the yard or play

basketball in the park. Last summer, the monthly murder toll peaked at 62 before dropping to 30 in October.

“It could be a bloodbath,” said the Rev. Marshall Hatch, a minister in West Garfield Park, where homicides have roughly tripled since last year. “It is frightening to think about.”

Aishia Dawson is battening down.

Her well-tended brick house on the South Side is in a once-bustling

in health care and is near Mayo Clinic.

Hastert is diabetic and suffered a stroke last year.

“Given all that is going on with the misinterpretation about Islam and the interests and concerns of the Muslim-American community, it’s almost obligatory on behalf of a governor of this state and all governors to have such a body,” Irfan said.

Bill would create advisory council for Muslims

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois could become the first state in the U.S. with a law giving Muslim-Americans a formal voice in state government.

The Chicago Tribune reported that a bill approved by the Legislature would create a 21-member Illinois Muslim-American Advisory Council. It’s awaiting Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s signature. The governor’s office said he’s reviewing it.

Muslim leaders said it would send a welcoming message to Muslims. The governor and legislative leaders would appoint council members.

Kareem Irfan, a Chicago lawyer who led an earlier version of the council under Gov. Pat Quinn, said it would be good to have a lasting institutional body so the community is not subject to the whims of each governor.

LA Times owner Tribune changes name to Tronc

NEW YORK – Don’t call it Tribune anymore: The newspaper company has officially changed its name to Tronc.

The company behind the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune is shedding its name to rebrand as a high-tech journalism company as it tries to avoid being bought by USA Today owner Gannett Co. Tronc stands for Tribune online content, the company says.

The Chicago-based publisher also will get a new stock symbol.

Tronc Inc. began trading on the Nasdaq stock exchange Monday under the ticker symbol “TRNC.”

blue-collar community of factories, steel plants and blues clubs that is now lined with boarded-up buildings. Knots of men gather on corners and porches, underscoring that one in four adults is out of work.

The 34-year-old hairstylist plans to turn her home into an all-day compound for her kids. Her eighth-grade daughter, Ja’nell, will only be allowed to leave to go to church, when she’s not parked with relatives in the suburbs.

Older daughter Autumn will only be allowed to go to work and then come right home.

It’s too late for Dawson’s 18-yearold son, Deionte Harris. He was shot to death in September a few blocks away when someone opened fire on a group he was talking with. As for 11-year-old Lahmeir, “he’ll just be in the house, up here with us. Period,” she said.

Shaquisha Gibson-Posey plans to send her teenage son, Londell Easley Jr., to stay with family in Milwaukee and stock up on video games for when he’s home. To make her point with him, she wields the morgue photo of her brother whose face was obliterated by a shotgun blast in 1992.

“He can’t be a 15-year-old kid,” Gibson-Posey said. “He loves basketball, but I won’t let him go out there (because) they are shooting up playgrounds. He’s miserable.”

Official: Group wants to sabotage Lucas Museum

CHICAGO – The head of the Chicago Park District said demands from a group suing to block “Star Wars” filmmaker George Lucas from building his museum on Chicago’s lakefront are “outrageous.”

Friends of the Parks released a memo recently outlining stipulations under which it would settle its lawsuit, including a legally binding promise from Chicago to protect the lakefront from development for the next century.

The memo said the group also wants 5 percent of museum revenues allocated to parks improvements.

Chicago Park District Board President Jesse Ruiz on Sunday accused the group of deliberately trying to sabotage the project.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Ruiz told the group in a letter that “attempts to demand money from the museum are nothing short of extortion.”

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Trump fires his campaign manager in shake-up

NEW YORK – Donald Trump abruptly fired campaign manager Corey Lewandowski on Monday in a dramatic shake-up designed to calm panicked Republican leaders and end an internal power struggle plaguing the billionaire businessman’s unconventional White House bid.

In dismissing his longtime campaign chief – just a month before the party’s national convention, Trump signaled, at least for a day, a departure from the seat-of-the-pants style that has fueled his unlikely rise in Republican politics. Perhaps more than anyone else in Trump’s inner circle, the ousted aide has preached a simple mantra: “Let Trump be Trump.”

“I have no regrets,” Lewandowski told CNN, just hours after he was escorted out of Trump’s Manhattan campaign headquarters.

Heat grips Southwest on 1st day of summer

PHOENIX – As the mercury soared, records were falling.

A severe heatwave ushered in the first day of summer Monday in the broiling Southwest, where extreme temperatures were blamed for at least five deaths over the weekend.

Towns along the Arizona-California border were getting the brunt of the extreme tempera-

tures on Monday.

In Palm Springs, the thermometer hit 121 degrees in the early afternoon. The temperature in Phoenix climbed past 111 degrees. A cool-off was expected in the coming days. The National Weather Service reported 17 daily heat records were broken in Southern California on Sunday – because of a high-pressure ridge over the Four Corners region of the Southwest.

NYC police officials charged in scandal

NEW YORK –Two high-ranking New York Police Department officers were arrested Monday on charges they took more than $100,000 worth of free flights, prostitutes, expensive meals and other bribes in exchange for providing a “private police force” for local businessmen.

Deputy Chief Michael Harrington, Deputy Inspector James Grant and a third defendant, Brooklyn businessman Jeremy Reichberg, were charged with conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud – the latest development in a series of overlapping public corruption investigations coordinated by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara. David Villanueva, an NYPD sergeant assigned to the gun license bureau, was arrested on charges of conspiring to commit bribery.

Transcript: Gunman said he was an Islamic soldier The ASSOCIATED PRESS ORLANDO, Fla. – Orlando gunman Omar Mateen identified himself as an Islamic soldier in calls with authorities during his rampage and demanded to a crisis negotiator that the U.S. “stop bombing Syria and Iraq,” according to transcripts released by the FBI on Monday.

The partial transcripts were of a 911 call made by Mateen and three conversations he had with the police crisis negotiators during the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history, in which 49 people died and dozens were wounded.

Those communications, along with Facebook posts and searches Mateen made around the time of the shootings, add to the public understanding of the final hours of Mateen’s life and to the possible motivations behind the rampage.

The first call came more than a half-hour after shots rang out, when Mateen told a 911 operator, “Praise be to God, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of God,” he told the dispatcher, referring to God in Arabic.

“I let you know, I’m in Orlando and I did the shootings.”

During the 50-second call with a dispatcher, Mateen “made murderous statements in a “chilling, calm and deliberate manner,” Ronald Hopper, FBI assistant special agent in charge in Orlando, said during a news conference.

However, there is no evidence Mateen was directed by a foreign terrorist group, and he was radicalized domestically and on his own, Hopper said.

Mateen’s name and the groups and people to whom he pledged allegiance were initially omitted from the excerpt. But the Justice Department reversed course later Monday, providing a more complete transcript confirming Mateen pledged allegiance

The extremist group encourages its followers who seek to commit violence in its name to make public pledges of support.

The Justice Department said in a statement it initially withheld the names so as not to give extremists “a publicity platform for hateful propaganda,” but the omissions became an unnecessary distraction.

Shortly after the call with a 911 operator, Mateen had three conversations with crisis negotiators in which he identified himself as an Islamic soldier and told a negotiator to tell America to stop bombing Syria and Iraq. He said that was why he was “out here right now,” according to the excerpt.

City officials have refused to provide hundreds of 911 calls to The Associated Press and a coalition of news organizations, citing confidentiality under Florida law, and arguing that an ongoing investigation kept the tapes secret. Hopper also said Monday that the tapes would not be released out of respect for the victims.

“Yes, the audio was compelling, but to expose that now would be excruciatingly painful to exploit them in this way,” Hopper said.

Hopper also said: “Part of redacting is to not give credence to individuals who have done terrorist acts in the past.

They are not going to propagate their violent rhetoric.”

The AP and others requested the 911 tapes and related data, a common practice after such major events. The recordings could offer insight into how law enforcement responded.

Also at Monday’s news conference, Orlando Police Chief John Mina said that if any fire from responding officers hit victims at the club, gunman Mateen bears the responsibility. He wouldn’t give further details but said: “Here’s what I will tell you. Those killings are on the suspect, on the suspect alone in my mind.” He stressed that the officers “acted heroically.”

Mina acknowledged that questions have been raised by media outlets and the public about whether Orlando police waited too long after the start of the rampage at 2 a.m. to send in a SWAT team about 5 a.m.

He said an exchange of fire between police and Mateen shortly after 2 a.m. prompted the attacker to retreat into a bathroom and take hostages, shifting the incident from a shooting to a hostage-taking.

Gun-control measures turned back by Senate The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – A divided Senate blocked rival election-year plans to curb guns on Monday, eight days after the horror of Orlando’s mass shooting intensified pressure on lawmakers to act but knotted them in gridlock anyway – even over restricting firearms for terrorists.

In largely party-line votes, rejected were one proposal from each side to keep extremists from acquiring guns and another shoring up the government’s existing system of required background checks for many firearms purchases.

With the chamber’s visitors’ galleries unusually crowded for a Monday evening – including people wearing orange T-shirts saying #ENOUGH gun violence – each measure fell short of the 60 votes needed to progress. Democrats called the GOP proposals unacceptably weak while Republicans said the Democratic plans were overly restrictive.

The stalemate underscored the pressure on each party to give little ground on the emotional gun issue going into November’s presidential and congressional elections. It also highlighted the potency of the National Rifle Association, which urged its huge and fiercely loyal membership to lobby senators to oppose the Democratic bills.

“Republicans say, ‘Hey look, we tried,’” said Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. “And all the time,

their cheerleaders, the bosses at the NRA, are cheering them.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the Orlando shootings – in which the FBI says the American-born gunman swore allegiance to a leader of the Islamic State group – show the best way to prevent attacks by extremists is to defeat such groups overseas.

“Look, no one wants terrorists to be able to buy guns or explosives,” McConnell said. He suggested that Democrats were using the day’s votes “as an opportunity to push a partisan agenda or craft the next 30-second campaign ad,” while Republicans wanted “real solutions.”

That Monday’s four roll-call votes occurred at all was testament to the political currents buffeting lawmakers after gunman Omar Mateen’s June 12 attack on a gay nightclub.

The 49 victims who died made it the largest mass shooting in recent U.S. history, topping the string of such incidents that have punctuated recent years.

The FBI said Matteen – a focus of two terror investigations that were dropped – described himself as an Islamic soldier in a 911 call during the shootings.

That let gun-control advocates add national security and the specter of terrorism to their arguments for firearms curbs, while relatives of victims of past mass shootings and others visiting lawmakers and watching debate from the visitors’ galleries.

the world to respond is beyond question,” U.S. President Barack Obama said, adding that he planned to convene a summit on refugees in September when world leaders meet for the U.N. General Assembly.

“In advance of that summit, the United States is urging other governments to contribute more funding for humanitarian aid operations, to grant more refugees the chance to work and attend school, and to provide more resettlement opportunities for refugees who cannot safely go home or remain where they are,” he said in a statement. “We are urging our nongovernmental partners, including the private sector, to do more as well.”

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan noted that displacement has been a “major challenge” throughout history but “humanity stands idly by as more than 65 million people escape from inhumane treatment and oppression today.”

“Governments whose policies aggravate humanitarian crises around the globe remain reluctant to lend their victims a helping hand,” Erdogan said. “The international community has a political and moral obligation to restore the human dignity of refugees.”

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran said Monday that it broke up one of the “biggest terrorist plots” ever on its soil by Sunni extremists planning bombings in Tehran and elsewhere, emphasizing that the Shiite power could be facing threats at home for its military actions in Iraq and Syria.

Iran faces several low-level insurgencies, but a major militant attack hasn’t struck Tehran since the years immediately after its 1979 Islamic Revolution.

That fact, coupled with authorities’ suggestions the Sunni militants of the Islamic State group might be behind the plot, significantly raises the danger that Iran could face the same sectarian violence drowning Iraq and Syria, where its actions have earned the hatred of Sunni hard-liners.

“I don’t think anyone should be surprised if anything like this were to happen in Iran,” said Ellie Geranmayeh, a policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations. “Iran has made itself a number of enemies. But so far, what has been surprising in Iran is that they’ve managed to contain the threat.”

GENEVA – Imagine the entire population of France uprooted from their homes, forced to flee danger, persecution or starvation. The U.N. refugee agency said more people than that – 65 million – were displaced worldwide at the end of last year, easily setting a new postwar record.

And it warned that European and other rich nations can expect the flow to continue if root causes aren’t addressed.

After a year when more than a million people arrived on European shores, UNHCR said Monday – World Refugee Day – that continued conflicts and persecution in places such as Syria and Afghanistan fueled a nearly 10 percent increase in the total number of refugees and internally displaced people in 2015.

“I hope that the message carried by those forcibly displaced reaches the leaderships: We need action, political action, to stop conflicts,” said Filippo Grandi, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. “The message that they have carried is: ‘If you don’t solve problems, problems will come to you.’”

The Geneva-based agency’s latest Global Trends Report shows that for the first time since World War II, the 60 million mark was crossed.

“If these 65.3 million persons were a nation, they would make up the 21st largest in the world,” the report said.

In stark detail, UNHCR said that, on average, 24 people had been displaced every minute last year – or 34,000 people a day – up from six every minute in 2005. The total number of displaced people has roughly doubled since 1997, and risen by 50 percent since 2011 alone, when the Syria war began.

About 11.5 million people from Syria have fled their homes: 6.6 million remaining within the war-ravaged country and 4.9 million moving abroad. At the end of last year, more than half of all refugees were from three countries: Syria, Afghanistan and Somalia. More than half of all displaced people were children, UNCHR said.

Turkey was the top host country for the second year running, with 2.5 million refugees – nearly all from neighboring Syria. Afghanistan’s neighbor Pakistan had 1.6 million, while Lebanon, next to Syria, hosted 1.1 million.

“The scale of this human suffering is almost unimaginable; the need for

Test water at Illinois schools

The Chicago Public Schools system is aggressively testing school water for the presence of lead following the crisis wracking Flint, Michigan.

Tests are being conducted on the drinking fountains, water coolers and faucets of every school in the nation’s third-largest school district, even though federal and state regulations don’t require it.

So far, 19 of 74 CPS schools with test results have been shown to have levels of lead from at least one water source that exceeded federal standards. Even more had lesser levels. Finger-prick tests of some children at the first CPS school with elevated lead levels indicated enough lead in those students’ bodies to warrant further testing.

We can’t assume, obviously, the threat of lead in school water ends at the city’s border. All Illinois schools – including parochial and private schools – would be responsible to follow CPS’ lead.

Consider three key points: • Illinois has more lead service lines than any other state in the nation. Such lines commonly were used in buildings constructed before 1986. Hundreds of CPS schools were built before then. So were most of the Chicago area’s Catholic schools, both city and suburban.

• Not only older schools are at risk. Some post1986 non-lead pipes can pose a problem if they hold lead in the solder or fittings. Los Angeles Unified school district doesn’t have lead pipes, but it found lead leaching from brass fittings it chose for bubblers on its new water fountains. LA’s newer schools tended to have fountains with the highest concentrations of lead.

• Lead in water knows no economic or racial boundaries. Nationally, low-income and minority children experience higher average blood lead levels, often linked to lead paint exposure. But across Illinois, at least 132 of about 1,750 water systems have exceeded federal lead standards during at least one year since 2004, said State Rep. David McSweeney (R-Barrington Hills). And that includes systems serving well-heeled Barrington, as well Lake, DuPage and Cook counties.

McSweeney is co-sponsor of a joint legislative resolution requiring the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to monitor the state’s water systems, especially those with past problems, and to produce a final report with policy recommendations by Jan. 1. Though the resolution, which took effect May 31, requires only water system tests, McSweeney would welcome an EPA policy recommendation that all Illinois schools be tested regularly.

A child’s ingestion of even one particle of lead can be very dangerous. Multiple, regular tests of each school water source seems prudent.

It’s not worth it, Speaker Ryan

When House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, R-Wisconsin, justified his endorsement of Donald Trump on the grounds the reality television star would, as president, sign some of the House GOP agenda into law, it seemed fair to suppose Ryan’s proposals must be truly transformational. What else could possibly justify making common cause with someone whose views and values run so counter to the speaker’s?

But last week, after Trump hurled bigoted attacks at a federal judge, Ryan released an exceedingly modest anti-poverty plan.

This week, after Trump accused “the Muslims” in the U.S. of being complicit in terrorist attacks, Ryan unveiled an unimpressive regulatory reform plan. Not only do its virtues pale in comparison to the permanent dishonor of endorsing Trump, but the speaker’s latest plan also contains some bad ideas.

Ryan’s latest rollout, which highlights the way federal

regulations can slow the economy, contains some elements of wisdom. How long it can take to build public infrastructure in the U.S. is a scandal. Traditional regulation should not be the first choice when less costly, yet equally effective, market-based options are available.

But in their anti-regulatory zeal, Ryan and the House GOP would, among other things, repeal or weaken a host of environmental regulations, particularly those concerning air pollution. They also would end the Environmental Protection Agency’s efforts to slow global warming, arguing the climate regulations would have practically no benefit for the planet by dishonestly ignoring the international emissions-cutting these regulations spurred. Unlike on other issues, the proposal does not offer any alternative to replace the climate policy the House Republicans would rip up, even though there are many policies a true conservative could

embrace. Part of the problem is, on climate change, Republicans are not conservatives: They oppose market-based policies to cut emissions, such as a carbon tax, instead risking the fate of the planet on a decidedly imprudent wish that experts are wrong.

Then again, Ryan is making a similarly improvident bet on Trump. No policy or principle Ryan has articulated comes close to justifying the indelible stain of supporting a dangerous demagogue. Speaking up when Trump says reprehensible things is more than some Republicans have managed but insufficient.

It is not reasonable for Mr. Ryan to say, as he did June 14, he will not “get into the day-to-day habit of commenting” on “what our nominee says.” The speaker says he supports Trump, so he owes it to Americans to explain whether he agrees with the GOP nominee and, if not, how he can claim to be a man of principle and continue supporting him.

VIEWS Rich Miller to provide things like food for prisoners, and none of them have been paid since last year.

Rauner bragged last week to reporters that keeping the state functioning is a result of “an extraordinary performance by the leaders in our team.”

“We’re doing heroic things,” Rauner claimed.

Ever since Rauner asked legislative Democratic leaders for a temporary “stopgap” budget for bureaucratic operations in April, the Democrats have viewed the request as a sign of potential weakness and have so far refused to comply. Rauner has claimed the Democrats are attempting to force a crisis via a state shutdown. The Democrats counter that Rauner, himself, has been trying to create a crisis to leverage passage of his Turnaround Agenda.

So, how is the administration managing to – literally – keep the lights on?

The Rauner administration has a team of people that works on these issues and has developed all sorts of

contingency plans. One of the departments they really have to watch all the time is Corrections. Some little state board might go under and almost nobody would notice. But if the state can’t feed prisoners, well, that could be really bad.

The administration has been using a special loan fund to help some prison contractors get through this rough patch. The vendors can sell their debt to a company for most of what they’re owed, which can keep them limping along.

Every now and then, the governor’s office will get calls from mayors of downstate prison towns, who sometimes seem to have been ginned up by the Democrats. A water shutoff or some such thing is threatened unless the towns receive payment on their overdue bills. The mayors are asked to please be patient while the leaders work on a budget.

If kindness doesn’t work, the mayors sternly are warned the state won’t be able to operate a prison without water, so prisoners will have to be moved to other facilities. And once they leave, they won’t ever be coming back. Rauner, the mayors are told, believes we have too many people behind bars anyway. And, besides, once the facility is abandoned, the state would have to comply with much

stricter building and safety rules if it wanted to reopen the prison. That would cost lots of money the state simply doesn’t have.

And, of course, if the prison permanently goes away, so will all those local jobs and the facilities’ huge economic impacts. So, a mayor can shut off the water over a past-due bill, but that’ll turn out to be the most costly utility shutoff in the history of that town. So far, it’s worked.

As I write this, Mt. Sterling is facing this very dilemma. The tiny town of less than 2,000 people is owed $300,000 to $400,000 (depending on whom you talk to) for water service to the 2,000 inmates at Western Illinois Correctional Center. They’re desperate for the money, but they also, obviously, don’t want to lose those jobs.

We could be reaching a turning point. The Department of Corrections director predicted in an early June newspaper op-ed that prison vendors eventually will have to pull their services, which could, he warned, “cripple the department in a matter of days.”

The administration will have to get even more “heroic” if that happens.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Donald Trump is refreshing

To the Editor: Mr. Harry Wolden from Huntley asked, “Who supports Trump?” (It’s Your Write, June 11).

The economy is stagnant and mired in new presidential regulations. Ten percent of the U.S. population has slid from middle class to lower class since 2008.

There have been mistakes and a preference for inactivity in the Middle East.

The latest defense budget has been cut 25 percent. Russia has taken advantage of American weakness.

The nation does not need illegal, unskilled labor that keeps the job market in over-supply and wages low. Help the middle class. There is an effective program for bringing in needed skilled labor. There should also be compassion for refugees fleeing war zones.

Donald Trump’s nonconforming to political correctness is refreshing. His point of view as a businessman gives him unique perspective to get the econ-

omy growing by taking on self-serving bureaucrats.

Nobody, and I mean nobody, ever thought that Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration could ever keep state operations running for a year without an actual state budget.

State and federal courts have ordered about 90 percent of state spending since the General Assembly’s Democrats and the Republican governor deadlocked on a budget last year because they couldn’t come to terms on the governor’s pro-business/anti-union Turnaround Agenda. Because of those court orders, employees are getting paid and Medicaid payments are being made, among other things.

When Rauner put aside his demands for things like workers’ compensation reform before he’d do a budget deal, he and legislators were able to agree on releasing funds for local governments and federal programs and they appropriated some money for universities and colleges.

But state government operations have been hammered. If the air conditioning goes out in a state building and it can’t be fixed in-house, too bad. Lack of money for postage and printing costs forced the Secretary of State to suspend sending out reminder notices for license plate renewals.

Ex-Volkswagen CEO being investigated

By DAVID McHUGH and DAVID RISING The Associated Press

BERLIN – German prosecutors are investigating former Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn and another unnamed executive over allegations they didn’t inform investors soon enough about the company’s scandal over cars rigged to cheat on U.S. diesel emissions tests.

The Braunschweig prosecutor’s spokesman, Matthias Diekman, said in a statement Monday that the probe was opened at the behest of Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority, the country’s financial watchdog.

German stock market law requires publicly traded companies to alert investors as soon as they have unforeseen developments that could affect a decision to buy or sell the stock. Prosecutors said Volkswagen only made that notification on Sept. 22, and that there was evidence the disclosure obligation should have been fulfilled earlier.

Volkswagen said it had the issue reviewed by outside lawyers who found “no clear or serious violations of duty” and the prosecutor’s statement contained “no new facts or findings over possible violations” by the two executives. The company had already said in response to an investor lawsuit that it met its disclosure obligation.

The company said the review showed no reason not to recommend that shareholders vote to approve management’s work for 2015 at the annual meeting Wednesday.

Then-Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn stands next to a VW car at the annual shareholder meeting in 2014 in Hannover, Germany.

German prosecutors said Monday they have opened an investigation of Winterkorn on allegations of market manipulation in connection with the company’s scandal over cars rigged to cheat on U.S. diesel emissions tests.

AP file photo

Volkswagen has said Winterkorn was sent a memo on May 23, 2014, about emissions irregularities uncovered by an environmental group, but the company was not sure he saw it, and said top officials discussed the matter July 27, 2015.

The company said earlier that the issue was believed to be something that could be resolved through a settlement that would not impose heavy costs, and it still believed that to be the case in early September 2015.

On Sept. 18, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a violation

notice, leading Volkswagen to assess the risks as more serious and issue its investor advisory four days later.

The prosecutors’ news release said that the second employee is not the current board of directors’ chairman, Hans Dieter Poetsch. Poetsch was chief financial officer under Winterkorn but has since left that post.

Winterkorn stepped down as the scandal came to light, saying he was doing so “in the interests of the company, even though I am not aware of any wrongdoing on my part.”

Volkswagen has admitted equipping

cars with software that sensed when the car was on a test stand and turned off emission controls during everyday driving. The company has apologized and commissioned a law firm to investigate. It is negotiating a settlement with U.S. authorities in federal court in San Francisco on how it would fix or buy back some 500,000 diesels sold in the United States. Some 11 million such cars were sold worldwide.

Volkswagen has set aside 16.2 billion euros ($18.3 billion) from last year’s earnings to deal with the costs of recalls and fixes.

She said she wishes Young the best.

Young, who also goes by the nickname Swaggy P, was more succinct with his announcement. The 31-year-old simply tweeted the word, “single.”

Where everybody knows your name: ‘Cheers’ coming to stage BOSTON – The bar where everybody knows your name is coming to the stage.

“Cheers Live on Stage” is a comedy based on some of the most memorable moments of the celebrated TV show’s first season. It will feature retired Red Sox pitcher and shameless lothario Sam Malone, pretentious waitress Diane Chambers, rotund barfly Norm Peterson, and the rest of the regulars when it debuts in September in Boston.

Even though it’s based on the TV show set in a Boston bar, loyal fans should see plenty of new material in the stage version, and may even get a chance to be a part of the performance. A national tour is planned.

Erik Forrest Jackson, the writer who adapted the show for the theater, binge-watched all 22 episodes of the first season nine times and pored over the original scripts before he started writing.

“I took season one of ‘Cheers’ and put it all into a big pot and cooked it up and boiled it down,” he said. “The main through-line is the relationship between Sam and Diane but done in a way so it feels fresh.”

Fans will get their fill of all of their favorite “Cheers” characters, but because the two-hour show is based solely on the first season, there will be no Woody, no Frasier and no Rebecca.

“It will ring bells and feel familiar when Carla talks about her crazy offspring, and Norm moans about not being able to get a job, and Cliff drops another one of his little known ‘facts,’” Jackson said.

The TV series ran for 11 seasons from 1982 until 1993, winning 28 Emmys and six Golden Globes, and is found on just about every list of the top TV programs in U.S. history.

David Bowie’s hair expected to fetch $4,000+ at auction LOS ANGELES – An auction house is expecting a lock of David Bowie’s hair to fetch more than $4,000 this weekend.

Heritage Auctions said Bowie’s hair will go on the block Saturday as part of an auction in Beverly Hills, California.

Heritage said the lock comes from a former employee at Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in London. She snipped some of Bowie’s hair in the 1980s to create a wig for a wax figure of the singer. Heritage said she kept it as a souvenir.

Neglected horse adopted by Imagine Dragons to perform for Orlando shooting fund Jon Stewart and wife dies MIDDLETOWN, N.J. – A horse adopted by Jon Stewart and his wife after it was found seemingly abandoned at an auction stable in Pennsylvania died at their New Jersey farm on Sunday.

The white mare named Lily was euthanized after falling and breaking a bone in its neck at their Middletown farm, Tracey Stewart said.

“When we knew there was nothing more we could do for her, we covered her in kisses and kind words and said our goodbyes,” Stewart said in a statement. “Our hearts are aching, we had so many more fun plans for her. She was beyond special and beyond loved.”

E3 winners and losers

Tech rivals unveil new gear, games to fans at Electronic Entertainment Expo

By DERRIK J. LANG

stage to hype “Star Trek: Bridge Crew,” a multiplayer VR game that casts players as Starfleet officers set for release this fall. EA certainly has The Force, but its upcoming “Star Wars” titles were far, far away from E3.

Winner: “Star Trek.”

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES – With some publishers splitting from the show floor and more gamers sliding on virtual reality headsets than ever before, this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo moved the video game industry in decidedly different directions than past installments of the annual interactive extravaganza.

The event drew more than 50,000 industry insiders to the Los Angeles Convention Center last week, while 20,000 gamers attended an all-new fan fest held outside. The attention-seeking competition for eyeballs and hashtags was fierce as rivals showcased new hardware and software.

Who won E3?

Robots vs. Zombies

There was no lack of games featuring either undead or mechanized beings at E3. “Dead Rising 4,” “Days Gone” and “State of Decay 2” were just a few of the titles tasking players with mowing down brain-hungry hordes, while “ReCore,” “Horizon Zero Dawn” and “Detroit: Become Human” all feature assembly lines of super-smart bots.

At this point, haven’t we reached peak saturation with the undead? It’s time for an upgrade. Hasta la vista, zombies.

Winner: Robots.

Inside vs. Outside

In the weeks leading up to the gathering of the game industry, much was made about the decision

by Electronic Arts and Activision to forgo their usual spaces on the E3 show floor.

EA opted for a fan-focused event across the street at the LA Live entertainment complex, and Activision hunkered down in meeting rooms and at Sony’s booth. Their absences on the floor were noticeable and allowed other publishers to command more attention, such as 2K Games with its lavish New Orleans-themed revelry to promote “Mafia III.” Winner: Inside.

Oculus Rift vs. HTC Vive vs.

Playstation VR

Microsoft vs. Sony

ABOVE: Attendees visit the Nintendo exhibit at the Electronic Entertainment Expo on June 15 in Los Angeles.

LEFT: A scene from, “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” released

by Nintendo.

The titans of the gaming industry faced off this year utilizing very different strategies. Sony solely focused on a mix of established series and original games coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR. Meanwhile, Microsoft boasted slimmer and more powerful versions of Xbox One, as well as the ability to buy and play games across devices. Sony’s games felt more solid than Microsoft’s lineup, but the Xbox maker proved it isn’t afraid to break down barriers.

Winner: Tie.

“Star Wars” vs. “Star Trek”

During its press conference, EA

played a video highlighting its studios working on “Star Wars” games around the world. However, they

didn’t actually show any of them off.

The next day, Ubisoft beamed “Star Trek” actor LeVar Burton onto its

It’s a three-way battle for VR domination. After years of hype, the immersive medium really is here and made a huge mark across the show floor with almost every major publisher demonstrating VR creations.

Oculus and HTC touted impressive exclusives, such as the blackand-white mystery “Wilson’s Heat” and a VR version of “Fallout 4.”

However, with VR titles that put users underneath Batman’s cowl and in the pilot’s seat of an X-Wing, Sony can’t be beat.

Winner: PlayStation VR.

“The Legend of Zelda” vs. everyone else

With sales of the Wii U still in the pits, Nintendo tried a bold tactic at this year’s expo. The “Super Mario” maker dedicated its entire E3 booth to a sole game: “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild,” an openworld rendition of the 30-year-old sword-swinging series.

The singular focus was successful, if a mind-boggling line of sweaty gamers – some waiting up to three hours – was any indication.

Winner: “The Legend of Zelda.”

Next, install the antivirus program of your choice. For personal use on Windows and Mac, try free antivirus from AVG, Avast or Sophos. But free antivirus only offers basic protections.

It’s worth it to pay for a full-fledged security suite such as those from AVG, Symantec (Norton), McAfee or Intego, among others.

To avoid viruses masquerading as antivirus, always download directly from the manufacturer’s site or app store.

Now that your computer is protected, you can start installing the rest of your software. Look for software updates for your programs, just as you

did for your operating system. Outdated programs are another avenue for viruses to infiltrate your computer.

It’s finally time to transfer your data from your old computer to the new one. Both Microsoft and Apple offer migration tools on their support sites to help you with this process.

While you’re at it, make an extra copy onto an external hard drive to serve as a spare, clean backup if you ever need one.

Test to make sure everything works. Can you read and send email?

Access the Web? Open your documents? Print to your printer? Synchronize mobile devices? Sometimes things need to be tweaked before it all comes together. Hold onto your old computer until you’re sure the new one works.

As a final touch, you might want to keep a computer-cleaning program on hand for future troubleshooting.

CCleaner is a nice option for Windows.

Mac users might like to try El Capi-

tan Cache Cleaner, which also works on previous Mac versions. Windows users also should check out Secunia Personal Software Inspector, which is a one-stop tool that helps keep both your system and your applications updated.

And there you have it, a nice clean computer ready for use. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could keep it like this all the time? If you like that idea, you could try a drive-imaging program, also called a disk cloner. Disk cloners take a backup snapshot of your entire configuration, which can be reloaded at any time, for example if your computer becomes infected with viruses.

There are several disk cloners available for Windows and Mac.

Setting up a new computer goes beyond taking parts out of the box.

Here’s how to get your new computer off to a running start, and keep it going a good long time.

These instructions assume you have two separate computers, the old one and the new. However, we’re not going to start with moving your data.

First, set up the new computer’s network and download any necessary updates for your operating system (Windows or Mac). Some software programs won’t install unless you have the latest version of your system, so this is the foundation for the rest of your computer’s configuration.

This also is the time to lock down your default security settings. Go through your computer’s Settings, Control Panel (Windows) or System Preferences (Mac) to change settings that are unnecessary or could transmit private data. You’ll find more information on changing default settings on

24 Electronic skin patch may have many uses Dear Dr. K: I’m 54, and have had Type 1 “childhood” diabetes since I was 7. A friend with diabetes heard about a new skin patch that automatically keeps a person’s blood sugar in control – no finger-sticks to check blood sugar, no needles for getting insulin. Can that possibly be true?

Dear Reader: It’s not true yet, but I think it’s coming. I’m glad you asked the question, because what I’ll call “electronic skin patches” are starting to affect both medical care and research in many areas, not just diabetes.

I believe you heard about a study in mice that used an electronic patch. Before I discuss the study, a few basics about diabetes. (You know this, but some readers won’t.) Normally, when we eat a meal, sugar is absorbed into the blood. That sugar is a key source of energy needed by the cells of our body. But for the cells to be able to use the sugar to generate energy, the sugar has to be able to get inside the cell.

That’s where insulin comes in. Insulin is a natural chemical made by an organ in our belly, the pancreas. Insulin moves sugar from the blood into cells. The problem in Type 1 diabetes, like you have, is the pancreas stops making insulin.

That’s why you need to check the level of sugar in your blood frequently, and give yourself a shot of insulin when that sugar level is too high.

The patch you heard about does all of this automatically. It is very thin and sticks to the skin. The underside of the patch contains thousands of tiny needles – so tiny you can’t feel them. The tips of the needles rest in the fluid between the cells just beneath the skin and sense the

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff amount of sugar in the fluid. When the level is high, the patch releases insulin.

When used for 12 hours in mice, this patch worked like a charm: It accurately sensed sugar levels, released insulin when it was needed, and never allowed blood sugar to go either too high or too low. Would it have worked as well day in and day out? And would it work in humans? That remains to be seen. But it is an encouraging first step.

Scientists have created electronic skin patches that monitor other bodily functions. They accurately can measure electrical signals in the brain, heart and muscle. Many scientists are testing such patches to see if they might serve as early warning systems of things going wrong in the body. Might such patches detect potentially dangerous heart rhythms in people with heart disease? Or early spasms of breathing tubes in the lungs in people with asthma? By such early detection, early treatment might prevent serious illness.

My crystal ball says electronic skin patches are going to be used to monitor and treat disease. They also are going to be used in research, sending information continually and wirelessly through our smartphones to study computers for analysis. I find it exciting.

ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE O V E N

ers have active fantasy lives. Authors who come to mind would be Mary Shelley, who created “Frankenstein,” Anne Rice and her vampires, E.L. James, who shared her S&M fantasies with the world – and countless male authors including John le Carre, Daniel Defoe and William Shakespeare.

Ideally, your husband – the man of your dreams – should be able to tell you if something bothers him without sulking. And if he trusts you, he should be able to accept what you are writing is fiction. If that’s not the case, rather than your giving up writing, your husband should quit reading your books.

Dear Abby: My son chose his cousin, “Tim,” as best man for his wedding. Tim gave a speech about how my son was like a little brother to him and mentioned some of the pranks he would play on my son. It was extremely funny, but the reality is the pranks were quite cruel.

My nephew got very drunk at the wedding, and while my son was dancing with his new bride, a final prank was pulled. Tim approached my son from behind and gave him a huge “wedgie,” which tore my son’s expensive wedding pants apart. My son was very angry. His new bride appeared shocked, and it was a terrible ending to an otherwise beautiful wedding.

My sister promised me Tim would “make it right.” It’s now four weeks later, and I have learned my son immediately apologized to his cousin for his reaction (which was understandable). Tim did not apologize and has not accepted any accountability. I thought his wedding gift would cover the cost of the pants, but my son says it was less than the cost of the thankyou gift my son and his wife gave my nephew.

My sister now says her son needs to save his money. Any suggestions other than Judge Judy? – Wedding Wedgie Dear W.W.: Only this: In the interest of family harmony, step back and stay out of it. Your nephew appears to have poor judgment, but how your son and his bride choose to handle what happened is their problem, not yours.

Dear Abby: I’m DEAR ABBY happily married to the man of my Jeanne dreams. We met Phillips after I had gone through a particularly difficult breakup, and I often credit him with “saving” me. We’ve been together 15 years and have two beautiful children.

While we both have professional careers, I also write romance novels as a hobby and side business. With every book authors write, a tiny part of their lives sneaks into their characters, storyline, etc. When my husband reads my novels, he becomes sullen and angry. He can’t seem to understand 99 percent of what I’ve written is fiction. He’s convinced everything I write is linked to an old boyfriend or actual events.

This is causing hurt feelings and resentment from both of us. Should I give up writing, or should he learn to deal with it? – Happily Ever

Here, as you can see, this results in down two, the defenders taking four spades, one diamond and one club.

However, declarer can set a small trap for East. At trick three (or two), he should play a heart to the board, then lead the diamond jack. If East thinks only about covering the last of touching honors, he will play his queen, and the contract will make.

How does East know what to do?

By checking the high-card points as soon as the dummy appears. With 14 on the board, five in his hand and five (the spade king-queen) in partner’s hand, that leaves only 16 points missing. These must be in declarer’s hand, given that all four jacks are in the dummy. So there is no point in covering the jack of diamonds.

TOUGH OUT

McHenry’s Martens hit .598 with 1 K in 113 trips to plate

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com

A

lex Martens finished her fouryear varsity softball career with 226 hits and 55 doubles, leading McHenry to three Class 4A regional championships and two Fox Valley Conference Valley Division titles.

As a senior, she led the Warriors in batting average (.598), on-base percentage (.655) and slugging percentage (1.021), striking out once in 113 plate appearances. She had 16 doubles, two triples and seven homers with 42 runs scored and 40 RBIs. For her accomplishments, Martens has been unanimously selected as Softball Player of the Year, as chosen by the sports staff.

She was named to her second consecutive Class 4A Illinois Coaches Association all-state first team and leaves McHenry with a career batting average of .521. Next year, Martens will play at Kentucky. Here are sports writer Alex Kantecki’s questions and Martens’ answers:

Kantecki: Which professional athlete would you like to hang out with for a day?

Martens: Anthony Rizzo Kantecki: What will you remember most about your time at McHenry?

Martens: Probably the amount of

times that D (McHenry coach John DiFrancesca) bought us food on the way home from games. Anywhere we wanted to go. We always stopped at Dairy Mart when we played Huntley, and on our way from our other games, we’d stop at Fratellos.

Almost every away game, he would buy us food. Win or lose.

Kantecki: What’s your favorite thing about your sport?

Martens: I love how you meet so

many different people. Through travel (softball), I’ve met a lot of different people from different countries and states and stuff. You know each other forever. I’ll see them in college, and I’ll still know who they are, and they’ll still know who I am. ... It’s weird how we meet when we’re so young.

Kantecki: Do you have any rituals or superstitions before you play?

Martens: I’m very superstitious. I’ll

always wear a bow in my hair no matter what. But if I wear a flower instead of a bow, and I’m not hitting well, I have

Poster inside Don’t miss the Alex Martens poster.

Pages 6-7 to change it, so I always bring a bow in case.

Kantecki: What other sport(s) would you be good at?

Martens: I played basketball and

volleyball all through high school and middle school, so those two sports probably.

Kantecki: What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

Martens: A lot of it is from my

dad (Tim), because he brought me up through all my sports. One of his sayings that I’ll always remember is, “Champions adjust.” Whenever things don’t go your way, champions adjust, and they don’t make excuses.

Kantecki: Who on your team makes you laugh the most?

Martens: (2015 McHenry graduate)

Carly Mattson. Growing up with her, she’s probably one of the weirdest people you’ll ever meet.

Kantecki: If you could change one thing about your sport, what would it be?

Martens: Softball is so give and

take, even the rules don’t get followed sometimes. I think that’s why I like it, because you never know what you’re going to get. Sometimes you’ll get a call, and sometimes you won’t even if it’s the right or wrong call.

Kantecki: What sports moment was so huge that you’ll always remember where you were when it happened?

Martens: I think losing my last game

this year. Even though it’s not really a happy thing. That was my last high school game after four years, so it was very sentimental. It’s a game I’ll always remember, but I won’t remember the bad things. I’ll remember who was with me, and just the game itself.

Kantecki: If you had one last meal to eat, what would be included?

Martens: A nice Atlantic salmon with

lemon and garlic, mashed potatoes, some steamed broccoli, and a Reese’s peanut butter cup for dessert.

Kantecki: Which teammate inspires you?

Martens: I really feel the people I look

up to the most are Carly (Mattson) and Hannah Crowley. I’ve played with Carly since I was 10. If you asked us back

McHenry’s Alex Martens, the 2016 Northwest Herald Softball Player of the Year, batted .598 as a senior. then, we both wanted to play Division I softball, and now we are. I think that’s pretty awesome.

Hannah is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. When she comes home, we’ll still talk and we’ll still see each other, which is pretty awesome. I want to be like that next year. I want to be able to come home and spend time with (former teammates).

Kantecki: What’s your biggest pet peeve?

Martens: I hate when people make

excuses for anything in life. I also hate when people chew with their mouths open.

Kantecki: What’s a song on your iPod

people would not think is there?

Martens: My phone currently has no

music on it. My old phone had random songs on it. ... Let’s go with every “High School Musical” song possible.

Kantecki: Is there a special significance to your uniform No. 6?

Martens: When I first started playing

softball, I tried out for my first travel team and you had to put down a number. My dad just wrote down “6,” so I didn’t have a choice. I ended up not making the team, and we just used that number. Now I use it for everything. In basketball, when I can’t have six, I

4 NORTHWEST HERALD SOFTBALL COACH OF THE YEAR

Petryniec guided Huntley to school-record 26 wins

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com The Huntley softball team captured its second straight Class 4A regional title and first Fox Valley Conference Valley Division championship since 2008 en route to a school-record 26 wins.

The Red Raiders (26-9), who topped their previous season’s win total of 24, advanced to the sectional semifinals in back-to-back years for the first time since 2008 and 2009.

For leading Huntley to a record-setting season, Raiders coach Mark Petryniec has been named the Northwest Herald Softball Coach of the Year, as chosen by the sports staff.

Petryniec is 253-201 in 13 years at Huntley, winning 20 or more games nine times since taking over in 2004.

Here are sports writer Alex Kantecki’s questions and Petryniec’s answers:

Kantecki: What will you remember most about this season?

Petryniec: The graduating seniors.

Jessica Shields, Megan Baczewski, Hayley O’Mara and Jenna Lawler. They definitely were a group of four that made it a very memorable season.

Kantecki: If you could hop in the DeLorean with Doc Brown and Marty McFly, what athletic contest would you want to see?

Petryniec: I’d have to go back to the

Barrington game (a 2-1 loss in a Class 4A Belvidere North sectional semifinal).

Just a restart on the Barrington game.

It is what it is, and you end every season for a reason, but we definitely would like to replay that game.

Kantecki: Which player made you laugh

Kantecki: If you could hop in the DeLorean with Doc Brown and Marty McFly, what athletic contest would you want to see?

Martens: I’d want to see the Cubs

win the World Series. I’ve never seen it, and I don’t think anybody really has, so I’d want to be the one to see it.

Kantecki: What’s your favorite pregame meal?

Martens: Hotcakes and sausage.

Every morning before a tournament or something, when we have morning games, I get hotcakes and sausage from McDonald’s.

the most?

Petryniec: That is definitely Hayley

O’Mara. The good thing about our seniors is everyone had a role, and they embraced their role. Hayley had some humor every day. When things got a little too tense, Hayley knew to lighten it up, and she always had a one-liner that would make everybody laugh.

Mark Petryniec

Kantecki: Which one of your players inspires you?

Petryniec: Every-

thing Jessica (Shields) has done over the past four years, she set the bar high for Huntley athletics and softball. Her approach to everything. She left a legacy. Everything she did over the past four years is a blueprint for future girls.

Everything about Jessica was team first and individual stats second.

Kantecki: What are three sports movies you can watch over and over?

Petryniec: “Friday Night Lights,” “Re-

member the Titans,” and “The Mighty Ducks.”

Kantecki: If you could spend a day with anyone from history, who would it be?

Petryniec: Kirby Puckett. Not the greatest physique for a professional athlete and he achieved the ultimate success. He’s always been my favorite, and he’s from Chicago.

Kantecki: What’s something you would change about softball?

Petryniec: I’d move the [pitching rubber] back to 40 feet (from 43 feet). It was more pure of a game at the other

distance, and I think moving it back has made it too much offense. The game has changed. The girls are hitting it harder, so move the mound back and we are back to elite pitching games.

We aren’t supposed to be having 1410 softball games.

Kantecki: If you could have a sandwich named in your honor, what would be on it and what would you call it?

Petryniec: My daughter and I, we grill hamburgers and put a hot dog on top.

And we’ll call it the “Coach P Burger.” I do like food, so you can’t go wrong with a hamburger and a hot dog on top of each other.

Kantecki: What was the biggest challenge you faced this year?

Petryniec: The challenge every

year is, the girls have to buy into the approach of the season. I think they bought into it really early, and the thing is they have to realize what they’re actually capable of doing. Once they believe in how good they are, then it makes our jobs as coaches easy.

The biggest challenge is showing the girls how good their talents are, and each individual girl realizing what their contributions and positives can be at the varsity level.

Kantecki: What are you looking forward to most next season?

Petryniec: The continued success, and

the moving forward of what the girls can build upon. Every year, we always challenge the girls to do something that’s never been done before. This group set the bar pretty high, but from here on out, it’s do something that’s never been done before.

“Helping student-athletes at Marian was something I took a lot of pride in,” Price said. “It was tough to get away from that part, but at the same time I’m moving into a different role, a much bigger role. Now I can have a positive effect not only on my basketball players, but every student-athlete, and I’m very excited about that.”

Curtis Price grew up playing basketball, starred at Chicago St. Rita in the late 1980s and played on some outstanding DePaul teams for former coach Joey Meyer in the early 1990s.

So stepping away as Marian Central’s boys basketball coach was a difficult decision for Price to make, although he figures he now can affect more athletes.

“Everyone, at some point in their career, needs to take the next step,” said Price, who was announced Monday as Marian’s new athletic director.

“Going to athletic director from coaching seems like the perfect next step for me. I feel like it’s something I can excel in, trying to develop a successful athletic program, building relationships with coaches and players. I feel like I can do a good job in that aspect.”

Price, 46, was the Hurricanes’ boys basketball coach for the past nine sea-

sons and served as former Marian AD Drew Potthoff’s assistant the past three years. Marian Superintendent Andy Edmondson announced in April that Potthoff would not return.

Edmondson said Marian had 15 candidates its search committee looked at for the position, with Price and two others selected as finalists. Along with the administration team, Edmondson has the Rev. Carl Beekman to represent the priests, Andy Hartlieb representing alumni and cross country coach Amy Beattie representing coaches and smaller sports.

“The committee came to a consensus behind Curtis, which I really appreciated,” Edmondson said. “The fact that in the past he came out to smaller sports, he was present, he was visible, we heard that through the committee.

He put in that work, and it was very much appreciated.”

Price’s basketball teams won Class 3A regional championships in 2010, 2011 and 2014. The title in 2010 end-

8 MARIAN CENTRAL WRESTLING

D-C graduate Silva takes over program

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com David Silva holds the loftiest of expectations for his new job as Marian Central’s wrestling coach.

“It’s a rare, great opportunity to build a wrestling program out here in the northwest suburbs,” Silva said. “I’m excited because I’m from the area and I really want to build a Montini Catholic out here.”

S i l v a , a 2 0 0 2 David Silva Dundee-Crown graduate, was hired recently as the Hurricanes’ head coach. He spent the past five years coaching at his own No Mercy Wrestling Academy. With No Mercy now closed, Silva found another wrestling opportunity at Marian. Montini had a string of eight consecutive dual team state championships stopped this year.

“I still have a passion for wrestling, so I can do this and do my full-time job,” said Silva, who lives in Huntley with his wife, Diana, and 2-year-old daughter, Paloma. “I want them to develop as

young, hardworking, respectful men.

Wrestling is such a great sport to teach people to come back from adversity, to work hard, to put in the time. If you do those things, you’re going to be successful.”

Curtis Price was just announced Monday as the school’s new athletic director and had a significant role in hiring Silva, who was a state medalist at Dundee-Crown in 2000 and an NCAA Division III All-American at Elmhurst College in 2006.

“He’s going to be a good fit because he’s coming to a Catholic school and it’s about developing our student-athletes as people,” Price said. “One of the things I like most about David is his passion to help kids develop and succeed. He’s going to be a positive influence on our wrestlers.”

Silva was a four-time Fox Valley Conference champion at D-C and a three-time state qualifier. He had a 9-1 record in the two years he fought in mixed martial arts bouts.

“I know the first year is going to be a little difficult,” Silva said. “You’re building a program. I definitely want to win. I really want to build a team that will compete for a state title some day.”

D-155 COACHING CHANGES

New C-G wrestling, CLC boys soccer coaches hired NORTHWEST HERALD Cary-Grove wrestling and Crystal Lake Central boys soccer have new coaches, with the District 155 school board set to vote to approve them at Tuesday’s meeting.

William Petersen will head the C-G wrestling program next winter, taking over for Crystal Lake Central graduate Mike Buhr, who departed after one season and was hired as Wauconda’s wrestling coach.

Crystal Lake Central’s new boys soccer coach is Mark Leverentz, previously a coach at St. Viator and also listed as a coach on the Algonquin Lake in the Hills Soccer Association website.

Several D-155 assistant coaches were hired or are changing positions.

Matt LePage, also the Crystal Lake

South boys basketball coach, was hired as an assistant volleyball coach by the school. Evan Kozlowski was hired as an assistant football coach at Prairie Ridge.

Anthony Moretti has moved from assistant C-G boys basketball coach to assistant South girls basketball coach.

Lauren Blane resigned as C-G poms coach, Nick Caruso resigned as Prairie Ridge assistant football coach, Kevin Craver was released as Prairie Ridge girls soccer assistant coach, Delmer Dade resigned as Prairie Ridge assistant wrestling coach, Paul Gerhardt resigned as C-G athletic trainer, Sarah Goodwin resigned as Central assistant softball coach, Nathan Gustin resigned as Central assistant boys basketball and baseball coach and Kelly Heider resigned as Prairie Ridge assistant volleyball coach.

position to win,” Hahn said.

“It’s the only thing we can control right now, and that’s where our focus is.”

Bench coach Rick Renteria, unceremoniously fired as Cubs manager and beloved and respected by Ventura and the staff, made it clear when the Sox hired him during the offseason he wanted nothing to do with Ventura’s job in 2016.

“It remains the same,” Renteria said Monday. “I’m here to help the organization with the people who are in place now. That was why I came here and it hasn’t changed. And I’ll leave it at that.”

Monday’s victory brought the Sox to within two games of .500 and was one of the more invigorating wins of the season. With the score tied at 1, left-hander Zach Duke escaped a bases loaded, no out jam in the bottom of the ninth after Zach Duke loaded the bases with no outs.

In the 10th, Jose Abreu doubled in two runs with two outs against Craig Kimbrel to break the tie. Abreu drove in Avisail Garcia (walk) from third and Adam Eaton (fielder’s choice) from first.

J.B. Shuck also singled in the inning.

David Robertson pitched a scoreless 10th for the save.

BOSTON – Will Robin Ventura last the season?

The White Sox have played like a team that gets its manager fired, with 26 losses in their past 37 games after a 23-10 start. And if taken to a fan vote, a reasonable assumption could be made – if social media, talk show callers and even things heard from growingly grumpy crowds at U.S. Cellular Field are an indication – that Ventura would be let go.

For that matter, as the Sox’s fourweek tumble turned into five and now six, a growing number of fans want everyone in the organization exchanged for new blood, from Ventura to general manager Rick Hahn to vice president Ken Williams to an unrealistic hope chairman Jerry Reinsdorf will sell the team.

This isn’t a small, vocal minority talking. It’s a growing nucleus of hardcore fans who see 2005 as ancient history, who view 2008’s playoff appearance as the only one since then as an embarrassment and, watching the hated Cubs turn the baseball world upside down on

the other side of town, are wondering if the Sox shouldn’t tear up the their plan and start from scratch as the North Siders did.

This latest free fall is the last straw for some, and after seeing the front office show a ruthless side by cutting John Danks, Mat Latos and Jimmy Rollins, it might suggest a willingness to let go of Ventura, whose contract is up after the season. The torch and pitchfork crowd demands more.

Hahn offered kudos for the way the Sox are prepared on a nightly basis but calling the results “extraordinarily frustrating form the last month-plus now,” played it down the middle before the Sox’s 3-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox in 10 innings Monday at Fenway Park when asked whether Ventura’s job is safe.

“My answer to that is the same it’s been for the last few weeks in that, I don’t think it’s in anybody’s best interest for me to comment on the status of anybody in uniform – coach, manager, player – other than to say that on any given night, we’re doing everything in our power to support the group that’s here and to try to put them in the best

10 CARDINALS 3, CUBS 2

Cubs threaten in 9th, come up short

By JAY COHEN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Brandon Moss and Jhonny Peralta homered against John Lackey, and the St. Louis Cardinals stopped a five-game slide by holding off the Cubs for a 3-2 victory Monday night.

Aledmys Diaz added an RBI single and Jaime Garcia (5-6) pitched into the seventh inning as the Cardinals got back on track after their first winless homestand of at least two series since 1983. It was their first trip to Wrigley Field since they were eliminated by the Cubs in the NL Division Series last year.

Lackey settled down after a slow start, but Garcia and two relievers held the major league-leading Cubs in check. Lackey (7-3) allowed three runs and seven hits in six innings in his first loss in three appearances this year against his former team.

Seung Hwan Oh got four outs and Trevor Rosenthal worked a shaky ninth for his 13th save in 15 chances. Catcher Yadier Molina threw out

The Cubs’ Wilson Contreras hits an RBI single off St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jaime Garcia in the third inning Monday night at Wrigley Field. The Cubs lost, 3-2. rookie Albert Almora Jr. trying to take third on a ball in the dirt, and Jason Heyward popped out with runners on the corners to end the game.

Both benches were warned by home plate umpire Pat Hoberg after

Moss and Cubs star Kris Bryant were each hit by a pitch in the fifth. But the longtime rivals played the rest of the game without incident.

The Cubs were coming off a threegame sweep of Pittsburgh and had

won 18 of 24 overall. Their NL Central lead over second-place St. Louis was trimmed to 111/2 games, still the biggest advantage in baseball.

The Cardinals jumped in front on Moss’ 16th homer in the second, a drive to the bleachers in right. With two outs and runners on first and second, Diaz dumped a single into center field for a 2-0 lead.

Peralta opened the third with a shot to left for his second homer.

Lackey had allowed a total of three runs in his previous four starts combined.

The Cubs got two back in the bottom half when Bryant hit an RBI double and scored on Willson Contreras’ two-out single in his first major league start. The touted catcher was promoted from Triple-A Iowa on Friday and hit a two-run homer on the first pitch of his first at-bat in Sunday night’s 10-5 victory over the Pirates.

With Contreras on first, Garcia got Javier Baez to fly out to right to end the inning. The left-hander allowed six hits in 62/3 innings in just his second win in his past seven starts.

CUBS NOTES

Fowler goes on DL as precautionary measure

By JEFF ARNOLD

For the Sun-Times

The Cubs will be without their starting center fielder and lead-off hitter after Dexter Fowler was placed on the 15-day disabled list Monday with a hamstring injury.

Fowler suffered the injury Saturday while running out a ground ball. General manager Jed Hoyer said Monday the move was precautionary. To fill Fowler’s roster spot, the Cubs called up relief pitcher C.J. Edwards from Triple-A Iowa.

“We don’t think it’s a long-term injury,” Hoyer said. “I hate to put timetables on this. But ultimately, we knew it was going to be something that would sideline him for at least the next handful of games, (a) week or so, and that’s the case.

“Playing shorthanded for what would be the significant part of a (disabled list) stint doesn’t make a lot of sense.”

Before Hoyer announced the move, manager Joe Maddon said he had discussions with Hoyer and president of baseball operations Theo Epstein about an “alternate back-up plan” if Fowler had to miss time.

Fowler has been a key cog in the leadoff spot. He has a .398 on-base percentage, which is tied for ninth best in the National League. After Maddon hit Chris Coghlan in the leadoff spot Sunday against the Pirates, he moved second baseman Ben Zobrist into the top spot for Monday’s series opener against the Cardinals.

Maddon said he likes Dexter Fowler the idea of Zobrist hitting behind Anthony Rizzo but knows he will have to be flexible with Fowler on the disabled list. “[Zobrist] is a super utility guy – anywhere on the field, anywhere in the batting order – he never complains,” Maddon said. “He just shows up, he plays and he’s already to go.”

La Stella, Soler improving: Tommy La Stella and Jorge Soler are both progressing as they continue to rehabilitate from hamstring injuries that landed both on the disabled list. La Stella and Soler worked with Cubs’ trainers in the outfield before Monday’s game. Maddon said he couldn’t allow Fowler’s injury to

impact how quickly La Stella and Soler return.

“We can’t really try to manipulate that – just let [Soler] get well and whenever he’s well (and) he’s ready to go, that’s fine,” Maddon said. “But I’m hearing that Tommy’s going to be better before Jorge is better.

“Jorge is on his own little pace right now.”

Youth movement: With the exception of 35-year-old Zobrist, all of the Cubs’ starting position players against the Cardinals are in their 20s. That includes a pair of 22-year-olds in Albert Almora Jr., who started in center, and shortstop Addison Russell. Catcher Willson Contreras, 24, made his first major league start after hitting a pinch-hit home run Sunday night in his first major league at-bat.

Maddon joked he should have started Matt Szczur, 26, and “just kept [Zobrist] out of it and then it would have been really interesting.”

The Cubs have nine players on their 25-man roster who are 26 or younger.

“You look at the young talent around the room and that’s pretty cool to see that happening, 23-year-old third baseman Kris Bryant said.

SOCCER: COPA AMERICA CENTENARIO

U.S. ready for Messi, Argentina

By RONALD BLUM

The Associated Press

HOUSTON – American players maintained over and over that playing Argentina and Lionel Messi in a Copa America semifinal Tuesday night was a big deal, yet not mind-boggling.

Argentina is a two-time World Cup champion and Messi is the only five-time FIFA Player of the Year.

While no longer a soccer neophyte, the United States knows it remains a distance from the top tier.

“There’s a bunch of very good players on their team. We have a few good players, as well,” U.S. captain Michael Bradley said Monday.

“Sure, on paper they’re the team that everybody thinks is going to win. No problem. But ultimately when that whistle blows, it’s still 90 minutes of competition.”

After winning its group, the U.S. beat Ecuador, 2-1, to reach a semifinal outside its region for the first time since 2009, when it upset Spain, 2-0, in the Confederations Cup semis before wasting a twogoal lead in the final and losing to Brazil, 3-2.

It’s not the World Cup, but reaching the final of this expanded 100th anniversary Copa America would be a major achievement for a U.S. team questioned by its growing fan base after it failed to win last year’s CONCACAF Gold Cup. “We want to take the game to them, as well. We want to keep a high line. We want to go eye to eye,” U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said.

WNBA EASTERN CONFERENCE

AP photo

U.S. men’s soccer coach Jurgen Klinsmann talks to reporters during a Copa America Centenario news conference Monday in Houston. The United States is scheduled to face Argentina in a Tuesday semifinal.

“In order to grow, you need to go through some pain and you need to try things out. You need to risk.

And when you risk things, here and there you get a lesson.”

While the U.S. is now alongside Mexico as a power in North and Central America and the Caribbean, qualifying for seven straight World Cups, it is 12-43-15 in games against former World Cup champions, including 3-18-1 in competitive matches. It is in the Copa America semifinals for the first time since 1995.

“We were nobody in the world.

We started in the ’90s and we had to inch our way up,” retired defender Marcelo Balboa said. “Back then, we changed our game plan to play

against teams. Now they stick to their game plans, but they’re aware of the two or three threats that can do some damage.”

And there’s no bigger threat than Messi, who has four Champions League and eight La Liga titles with Barcelona but who has not won any championships with Argentina’s senior team, which is seeking its first major trophy since 1993.

Messi, who turns 29 Friday, is nicknamed “La Pulga” for his speed and unmatched dribbling ability.

He wanders from midfield to the front line, drifts from the left flank to the right and often cuts from the right to the center. He has not scored in three previous matches against the U.S.

No denying LeBron’s status as best in NBA

By TIM REYNOLDS

The Associated Press

The drought is over for Cleveland, and the debate is over as well.

Best player in basketball?

His name is LeBron James.

This is why he went back to Cleveland, to deliver a title, to end the city’s epic championship drought and finally give Northeast Ohio what it craved for nearly 52 years.

It’s done. And now he’s free. Anything that happens from here is icing atop a threetiered championship cake for James.

LeBron James There’s absolutely nothing left for James to prove. The only thing he hadn’t done on a basketball court was make Cleveland, a city whose sports teams were cursed for so long, a winner. December 27, 1964, was the day Jim Brown last made them one.

That is, until June 19, 2016. James was an NBA champion before from his time in Miami, an Olympic champion, an MVP, a Finals MVP ... he had checked every box but one, and now that one is filled as well.

Stephen Curry is the two-time reigning MVP and rightly so, best player on the best regular-season team in league history. Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant likely will be the hottest free agent on the market this summer, coveted by everyone. Kobe Bryant was the highest-paid player in the NBA this season and this year was a celebration of his 20 years of greatness.

But they’re all part of LeBron’s world.

James is the freight train, the most unstoppable force in the game, and he shows no signs of slowing down after 13 years in the league. He’s 31. He rarely if ever misses games. He’s been in seven of the past 10 NBA Finals, including each of the past six. He’s nowhere near his decline, which has to delight even those Cleveland fans who burned his jerseys in 2010. And while winning cures all, he can be a free agent this summer, which should scare some people, as well.

“I’m true to the game,” James said, “and I know what I bring to the table.”

It bears noting that some of what’s on that table now wasn’t there six years ago, however.

It’s fair to say, this celebration would not be happening without July 8, 2010, the day James headed to Miami.

James needed a change and craved a title. He got all that and more. He learned how to lead, he learned the value of structure, he learned from Dwyane Wade and Erik Spoelstra and Pat Riley and Micky Arison, took little bits from each of them, added it all to his already-ridiculous game and made himself better.

James never went to college. But like many college kids, he went away for four years and then returned home with hopes of making his city better.

The result: Cleveland is a city of champions.

“I knew what I learned in the last couple years that I was gone,” James said, “and I knew if I had to – when I came back, I knew I had the right ingredients and the right blueprint to help this franchise get back to a place that we’ve never been. That’s what it was all about.”

He’ll never win over everyone. He’ll never win the argument about who is better, him or Michael Jordan or anyone else who merits mention among the league’s greats.

He doesn’t care, either. He’ll leave those conversations for others to have.

But he put an end to the discussion of who is the best right now.

“There’s no denying what he was able to accomplish this series,” a very classy Curry said after Game 7. “He played pretty great basketball.”

James is the quintessential American success story. He bucked overwhelming odds by rising above his impoverished upbringing in Akron, Ohio.

He’s a global icon who’s earned roughly $175 million in NBA salary, probably that much if not a great deal more from his Nike sponsorship deal alone, has a blossoming entertainment studio and is easily one of the most recognizable faces on the planet.

He’s on pace to be a billionaire someday like his good pal Warren Buffett, who James can chat up basically any time he wants.

And now he can do whatever he wants for as long as he wants to play this game. He owes no one anything anymore. Stay in Cleveland, return to Miami, go anywhere else in the NBA; it’s all up to him now.

For the first time in 13 years, LeBron James is free of burden.

With that weight lifted, it’s scary to think his best might be yet to come.
