Good morning, McHenry County ...

The Founding Fathers led a radical movement The 56 men who signed off July 4, 1776, on a document saying that their 13 colonies were really independent states and that they “hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,” were radicals. Revolutionaries are always radicals. In this case, they proposed to defy one of the foremost imperial powers of the world, and face down a professional army and the most powerful navy of the time with nothing but homegrown militiamen. Their success after more than seven years of war is proof of how radical ideas can become, with time, accepted as perfectly rational. Several of the signers of the Declaration of Independence themselves were former loyalists who finally saw the wisdom in fighting for freedom. But even after years of having unfair taxes foisted upon them and their right to self-governance taken away by Imperial Britain, and despite the threat of violence or tarring and feathering by patriot colonists, about 20 percent of Americans remained loyal to King George III before and through the war. For them, breaking away from the British Empire was still too radical a concept to embrace.

How long would it have taken you to come around to the cause of revolution? I like to think I’d have been an early adopter. Maybe I’d have worked up a pamphlet about it and passed out a few copies. But loyalty to the country of one’s roots can be strong, and the prospect of serving in a war in one’s homeland is not terribly attractive to a man with a family. It might have taken more to push me. Eventually, I hope I’d have sided with the radicals. The world is a better place because they carried the day in the colonies, even if we’re still striving to fully live up to some of the radical notions. Hope all of you have a happy and safe Independence Day holiday.

NEW YORK – A firework that exploded when a 19-year-old unwittingly stepped on it Sunday in Central Park, seriously injuring his left foot, didn’t appear to be designed to intentionally hurt people, police officials said. The homemade gadget was like an “explosive experiment” that was probably designed to “make a large noise, maybe make a flash,” concocted by someone with a basic understanding of chemistry, said Lt. Mark Torre, commanding officer of the New York Police Department’s bomb squad.

HOLIDAY TRADITION

Thousands turn out for Crystal Lake’s Independence Day Parade By KATIE ANDERSON–TEDDER Shaw Media correspondent

CRYSTAL LAKE – Blankets, tarps and lawn chairs covered both sides of Dole Avenue on Sunday as thousands turned out to see Crystal Lake’s annual Independence Day Parade. The parade’s 101 entries followed the typical route, clanging, tum- Mike Splitt bling, tooting and marching from City Hall across Northwest Highway and ending at the Lakeside Festival grounds.

“We love the parade. It’s tradition,” said Jennifer Moon of Woodstock. Moon and her family have been attending the parade for decades, she said. Her young sons are now part of that tradition. Trey, 6, and Jack, 2, were thoroughly mesmerized by the spectacle – taking in all of the colors, sounds and candy the parade offered. Favorites among parade-goers included the Dundee Scottish Pipe Band, the Crystal Lake Public Library’s synchronized book cart routines and the many shiny fire trucks whose blasting horns delighted the procession’s youngest attendees. The Crystal Lake Chamber of Com-

merce organized the 2016 parade with support from the Crystal Lake Lions Club, city of Crystal Lake, the Northwest Herald and radio station Star 105.5. The Chamber’s community outreach coordinator, Carol Pringle, anticipated that the Jesse White Tumblers and the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile would be highlights this year; along with firsttime entries Die Musik Miesters German Band – a group comprised of Crystal Lake musicians. Pringle also noted the addition of a float from Fruit Salad, an all-girl robotics team made up of seven Crystal Lake high school students. Serving as grand marshal Sunday

was the joyful, stars and stripes spangled Mike Splitt. A Crystal Lake resident for nearly 36 years, Splitt has served on many community, nonprofit and business organizations and was voted marshal by his Chamber of Commerce peers. Splitt’s seemingly endless community involvement includes terms as president of the local Kiwanis Club and Chamber of Commerce. “I jumped in with two feet,” Splitt remembers of his approach when he first moved to Crystal Lake. “Food drives, city cleanups, you

Executive director of The Land Conservancy of McHenry County Lisa Haderlein walks under an estimated 300- to 350-year-old bur oak tree Friday, located on the Clark Farm near Bull Valley. Haderlein said the nonprofit is trying to buy the 30-acre property north of Route 120 and west of Thompson Road and plans to restore it so it can be open to the public.

BULL VALLEY – At Clark Farm near Bull Valley, an estimated 300- to 350-yearold bur oak tree that has a trunk nearly five feet in diameter sits on the property with landscape features that are “classic” to McHenry County, Lisa Haderlein said. Haderlein, executive director of The Land Conservancy of McHenry County, said the nonprofit is trying to buy the 30acre property north of Route 120 and west of Thompson Road and plans to restore it so it can be open to the public. So far the conservancy has raised about $200,000 in pledges to purchase and restore the land, and the goal is to raise between $350,000 and $400,000 to make sure the conservancy can take care of the property long-term. The tree has branches that touch the ground, and is wider than it is tall with a canopy width of about 60 feet and a height of about 30 feet, Haderlein said. She calls

“That parcel itself has really diverse ecosystems on it.” Deb Chapman

the tree the “wolf oak” because of the space it takes up, and said settlers would normally cut trees like this down to make room for farming. “This is the only one that looks like this tree and is located on a property that’s central in the county,” Haderlein said. Deb Chapman, whose family has owned the property since the 1850s, is the director of education services with the McHenry County Conservation District. She said her family has always been conservation-minded, and approached the conservancy to see if they could takeover the land.

Although her family no longer lives on the property, which includes a parcel on the south side of Route 120, Chapman said she would love to see it restored and get the management it needs. “That parcel itself has really diverse ecosystems on it,” Chapman said. “So it has the oak savanna, and it includes that amazing oak, it has a wetland complex and then it has the upland behind it.” Haderlein said the landscape is what settlers would’ve seen when first coming to the county. One of the group’s initiative, called Project Quercus after the Latin word for oak, started around 2005 to help preserve the trees that Haderlein said once covered about 40 percent of the county, but now is down to about 4 percent. Other properties with oak trees include Harvard Gateway Nature Park and Hennen Conservation Area in Woodstock, she said.

tee,” he said. Although Splitt has owned a business in Crystal Lake for 25 years, his reputation for nonprofit work speaks loudest. He founded the Bob Blazier Run for the Arts, headed in to its 20th year; the Patriot Run, approaching its fourth year; and the famous Santa Run.

Since their inceptions, each of these races has helped to raised thousands of dollars for the McHenry County community. The races benefit the arts, children, veterans and others in need. “I’m a runner,” Splitt said. “I ran in high school and in college, as a hobby, and I like to say I’ve turned my hobby

into a driving force to make money for not for profits.” With sunshine, and 78 degree weather, and plenty of Double Bubble and Dum Dum showers, Crystal Lake’s 2016 Independence Day Parade was a satisfying staple of many residents’ holiday weekend.

“The reality is, if there isn’t management of the oak woods to clear out the invasive species, then not only do the big old trees die because of the competition, but they can’t regenerate.”

Continued from page A4 The conservancy has done work on the property a couple times over the years to remove invasive species around the wolf oak. “The reality is, if there isn’t management of the oak woods to clear out the invasive species, then not only do the big old trees die because of the competition, but they can’t regenerate,” which is something that needs to be changed, Haderlein said. The property has a few young oaks, that Haderlein calls “descendants” of the wolf oak. The vision for the land is to make a parking area, walking paths and educational signs so schools and residents could visit, Haderlein said. “I think it’s going to be a really great opportunity for the whole community if we can pull it all together,”

‘Deer Hunter,’ ‘Heaven’s Gate’ director Michael Cimino dies By ANDREW DALTON The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES – Michael Cimino, the Oscar-winning director whose film “The Deer Hunter” became one of the great triumphs of Hollywood’s 1970s heyday and whose disastrous “Heaven’s Gate” helped bring that era to a close, has died. Cimino died Saturday at age 77, Los Angeles County acting coroner’s Lt. B. Kim told The Associated Press. He said Cimino had been living in Beverly Hills but did not yet have further details on the circumstances of his death. Eric Weissmann, a friend and former lawyer of Cimino’s, said friends had been unable to reach Cimino by phone for the last few days and called the police, who found him dead in his bed. He said Cimino had not been ill that he had known of. Cimino’s masterpiece was 1978’s “The Deer Hunter,” the story of the Vietnam War’s effect on a small steel-working town in Pennsylvania. The film won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director for Cimino. It helped lift the emerging-legend status of Robert De Niro and Meryl Streep. Christopher Walken also won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. “Our work together is something I will always remember. He will be missed,” De Niro said in a statement Saturday. Despite controversy over its portrayal of the North Vietnamese and use of the violent game Russian roulette, the film was praised by some critics as the best American movies since “The Godfather” six years earlier. “With his visionary approach and attention to every detail, Michael Cimino is forever etched in the history of filmmaking,” Paris Barclay, president of the Directors Guild of America said early Sunday. “In his most iconic work, the DGA and Academy Award-winning film ‘The Deer Hunter,’ Michael captured the horrors of war through a personalized lens – captivating a nation in the process.” Cimino’s emerging career then took a U-turn with 1980’s “Heaven’s Gate,” a Western starring Kris Kristofferson and Walken that was a critical and financial disaster. The film became synonymous with over-budget and out-of-control productions, and a cautionary tale for giving artistic-minded directors too much

American movie director Michael Cimino listens Feb. 22, 1979, during a press conference, in Berlin. Cimino, whose film “The Deer Hunter” became one of the great triumphs of Hollywood’s 1970s heyday, and whose disastrous “Heaven’s Gate” helped bring that era to a close, has died. power in the new Hollywood that had been defined by directors such as Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese. Its initial budget of $11.5 million would balloon to $44 million after marketing. While those numbers are meager by today’s standards, at the time they were enough to hasten the demise of United Artists, and of Cimino’s career. Some say it helped bring down the director-driven renaissance that had fueled much of the great work of the 1970s, giving way to a business-and-blockbuster mentality that would dominate the decades that followed. Steven Bach, a former executive vice president at United Artists, documented the production in the 1999 book “Final Cut: Art Money and Ego in the Making of Heaven’s Gate.” Vincent Canby, the New York Times film critic not known for his harshness, said that the film was an “unqualified disaster” that “fails so completely that you might suspect Mr. Cimino sold his soul to the devil to obtain the success of ‘The Deer Hunter,’ and the devil has just come around to collect.” But Cimino always stood by the movie as an artistic accomplishment, or at least a project worth undertaking.

HISTORY

A tale of two schoolhouses LOCAL HISTORY Kurt Begalka

Judy Lovass has cared for a unique piece of county history since 1966, but the time has come for another committed caretaker to step forward. The Holcombville one-room school, located near the juncture of Crystal Springs and Walkup roads near Crystal Lake, looks much the way it has since it was built in 1858. Back in the day, the interior boasted large, double-seated desks and whitewashed walls to maximize lighting. There were no curtains and just one stove – located in the front – which burned coal and wood. Water was pumped from a farmhouse across the road and carried inside. A shelf in back contained tin cups with names on them. The building features hand-molded brick construction on top of a fieldstone foundation, plus German-style decorative brickwork on the exterior. The interior floor is solid beneath a pressedtin ceiling, original slate chalkboards and most of the original hand-glazed window panes. But there are potentially serious structural issues. The foundation has eroded in places. The exterior brick walls are separating and it most likely could use a new roof. The Greek Rival school sits on a half-acre and takes its name from William Holcomb, a prominent landowner in the county. Property for the school was bought for $12.25 from Sutherland Ingersoll. The school closed its doors at the end of the 1946-47 school year, consolidating with Crystal Lake District 47. It was sold at public auction to Edna Boston for $2,000 before John and Judith Lovass bought it and an adjacent 2 acres with a house. Both are up for sale, either together or apart – to the right buyer. “My main concern is ensuring the best protection for it,” Lovass said of the old District 43 school – among the oldest in the county. “I want to make sure that the school doesn’t get torn down and is maintained for future generations to enjoy.” The nearby woods, filled with hazelnuts and oaks, was a frequent play area for school children. And the Land Conservancy of McHenry County is investigating preserving that, as well, in conjunction with the adjacent 250-acre Crystal Spring Conservation Easement. Any historically minded individuals or organizations interested in acquiring the school or adjoining woods should

Titled “Elementary Follies,” the original drama crafted by retired historical society administrator Nancy Fike will portray a century pageant … as portrayed by adults portraying schoolchildren. Having a sense of humor is a prerequisite. “There weren’t the opportunities for people to get together as there are today. People took their entertainment where they could, which meant a lot of it was homegrown. They did the pag-

eants and got together little museums. They put on parades,” Fike said. “It was a way of celebrating the past and looking backward. They did it for the centennial. … It was hokey – as this is going to be.” The large cast of “Elementary Follies” includes the likes of attorneys Herb Franks and Bill Bligh, Woodstock Police Chief John Lieb, Huntley District 158 Superintendent John Burkey, McHenry County Board member Sue Draffkorn, Alden Township Supervisor Preston Rea, Woodstock City Planner Nancy Baker, Realtor Dave Gelwicks, former McHenry Mayor Bill Busse, current Marengo Mayor Don Lockhart and Fox River Grove Village President Bob Nunamaker. “The point of it was to try and get a broad-based representation of McHenry County,” Fike said.

restoration of the 1867 Pringle School – one of just three limestone structures in McHenry County Quarried at Garden Prairie and transported by wagon to the site off what is now River Road, the school is on property that once belonged to Patterson Pringle. Children of Scottish settlers attended the simple school, then in District 139. Enrollment fluctuated between 10 and 25 students until the 1940s. Books were scarce; even dictionaries often were not available. In the early history of the school, there was a fall and winter session attended by boys after harvest and before spring planting season. A summer session was held, which was mostly attended by girls. The students carried on attendance well into their teens, as there were no high schools. Many of Marengo’s early community leaders were products of this educational system, passing from the local district, directly to higher education. Consolidation of one-room schools began in the 1920s in this county, but many McHenry County schools consolidated in 1947 after a school report condemned the quality of country school education and rising costs. Pringle School operated until 1951, when it became part of the Hawthorn School District 17. “These pageants were all about what made McHenry County great,” Fike said. “We’re going to have miniature flags. We’re going to sing ‘In the Sweet By and By.’ We want audience participation. We’re not going to let people just sit there. They are going to be a community. They are going to be part of it.” Money and muscle are needed to repair and restore the foyer and adjoining storage/cloakroom area. For information or to buy tickets, visit www.

STATE

As late budgets go, Illinois has no equal By IVAN MORENO

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois has redefined what it means to have a late budget. Other states have gone several months without a spending plan before, and Illinois has had prior delays that caused great anxiety. But going an entire fiscal year without a full budget? It’s the only time in post-World War II history it’s happened in the country. “Late budgets will have a new meaning after you guys are done,” said Arturo Perez, a fiscal analyst with the National Conference of State Legislatures who has researched past overdue budgets nationally. So what did past budget delays here and elsewhere look like? And how did Illinois get to this point? Here’s a look.

JUST A MOMENT

Jim Edgar found himself in an unsettling position as Illinois governor in 1991 when the state went 18 days without a budget. “We thought ’91 was protracted, and it looks like child’s play compared to what they’ve gone through this year,” the former Republican governor said. The 1991 standoff, which Edgar said “seems like just a moment” compared to today, kept staff at colleges from collecting their paychecks. At the time, Edgar said the state had not experienced a budget delay like it.

Edgar part of firm built to profit off budget stalemate

The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Former Illinois Gov. Jim Edgar has been critical of fellow Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner over the state’s ongoing budget stalemate. But Edgar also is a partner in a business that is trying to make money off the crisis. Edgar is a partner and chairman of the board of Illinois Financing Partners. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the company advances money to Back then, Edgar found himself disagreeing with Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan, much like current Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. The sticking point now is Rauner wants business-friendly, union-weakening legislation as a condition of raising taxes to pass a full, balanced budget. In 1991, a bad economy forced layoffs and budget cuts, but the gridlock was over what to do about a temporary two-year income tax surcharge that brought $700 million annually to schools and local governments. Edgar and legislators resolved their differences by agreeing to make the surcharge for education permanent, while extending the tax for local governments for another two years. There were other late-budget scares

in revenue for fiscal 2014, $501,000 for fiscal 2015 and $532,000 for fiscal 2016. About 57 live adult entertainment facilities were identified by the Illinois Coalition Against Sexual Assault when it was conducting research on the industry as it supported legislation calling for the tax, according to executive director Polly Poskin. “We anticipated it would be a greater number of clubs that would be paying, and we would have anticipated about a million in revenue,” Poskin said. She said she doesn’t know “if the tax that they’re paying is accurate and consistent with their gross receipts.” But she said the money received does help Illinoisans who have been sexually assaulted.

“[It’s] greatly needed and greatly appreciated and well used,” Poskin said.

New invasive plant with toxic sap in southern Wisconsin

MILWAUKEE – A giant invasive plant with toxic sap that can burn human skin has turned up in southeastern Wisconsin for the first time, state environmental officials say. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that the Department of Natural Resources confirmed in June that hundreds of giant hogweed plants were present in Sheboygan. The plant is a native of the Caucasus region of Eurasia, between the Black and Caspian seats. It was brought to the United Kingdom and to the United States in

1917 as an ornamental plant. It can grow to as high as 20 feet and sprout 3-foot leaves. It is fast-growing, invading roadsides, the edges of forests and empty lots. It also produces thousands of seeds, which can be dispersed by flowing water or animals. The most common way it spreads, however, is by humans who are attracted by its size and decide to plant it. Giant hogweed can crowd out native species and its sap contains glucosides that react with the sun’s ultraviolet rays and can severely burn the skin, cause blisters or cause temporary blindness. It’s been found in Michigan, Illinois, Maine, New York, Pennsylvania, Oregon and Washington. It was first discovered in Wisconsin in 2004.

Jimmy John’s owner gives $150,000 to Illinois trail project

MAHOMET – The owner of the Jimmy John’s sandwich chain has donated $150,000 to a rail trail being built in eastern Illinois. According to The News-Gazette in Champaign, Jimmy John Liautaud said he decided to make the donation after recently reading about efforts by the Kickapoo Rail Trail’s planners to raise money. He called the trail good for the area. Jimmy John’s is based in Champaign. The Champaign County Forest Preserve District and others are building the 24.5-mile Kickapoo Rail Trail. The first segment would be 6.7 miles and is under construction between Urbana and the small town of St. Joseph.

Iraqi security forces look for victims as civilians gather at the site after a car bomb Sunday at a commercial area in the Karada neighborhood of Baghdad, Iraq.

Islamic State car bomb in Iraqi capital kills 115 By MURTADA FARAJ and SINAN SALAHEDDIN The Associated Press

BAGHDAD – A suicide truck bomb in downtown Baghdad killed 115 people and wounded nearly 200 others who were out shopping and celebrating early Sunday ahead of the holiday marking the end of Ramadan, security and medical officials said. The attack, claimed by the Islamic State group, was the deadliest in months in the Iraqi capital, and came despite a series of recent gains against the extremists, including the capture of Fallujah, which was believed to have been a source of such attacks. The bomb went off shortly after midnight in a crowded shopping area in the central Karada district, killing at least 115 people and wounding 187, according to a police official. The dead included at least 15 children, 10 women and six policemen. At least 12 other people were still missing and feared dead. Karada is a major commercial area lined with clothing and jewelry stores, restaurants and cafés, and was packed with shoppers ahead of Wednesday’s Eid al-Fitr holiday marking the end of Ramadan. Most of the victims were inside a multi-story shopping and amusement mall, where dozens burned to death or suffocated, police said. It was the deadliest attack in Iraq since July 2015 and among the worst single bombings in more than a decade of war and insurgency. “It was like an earthquake,” said Karim

Sami, a 35-year-old street vendor. “I wrapped up my goods and was heading home when I saw a fireball with a thunderous bombing,” the father of three said. “I was so scared to go back and started to make phone calls to my friends, but none answered.” He said that one of his friends was killed, another was wounded and one was still missing. As with many previous attacks, IS swiftly claimed responsibility for the bombing in a statement posted online, saying it had targeted Shiite Muslims. The Associated Press could not verify the authenticity of the statement, but it was posted on a militant website commonly used by the extremists. Firefighters and civilians could be seen carrying the dead away, their bodies wrapped in blankets and sheets. Smoke billowed from the shopping center, which was surrounded by the twisted and burned wreckage of cars and market stalls. A group of women were sitting on the pavement, crying for their loved ones. Elsewhere in Baghdad, a roadside bomb went off in the mostly Shiite Shaab neighborhood, killing five people and wounding 16, another police officer said. No group claimed responsibility for the attack, but it bore the hallmarks of IS militants. The Sunni extremists frequently target the country’s Shiite majority and Shiite-led security forces, viewing them as apostates deserving of death.

Bangladesh hunts hostage crisis clues, investigates IS claim The ASSOCIATED PRESS DHAKA, Bangladesh – Security officials searched on Sunday for evidence and the possible masterminds of the weekend hostage-taking in an upscale restaurant in Bangladesh’s capital. The government has denied the Islamic State group’s claim of responsibility for the attack that left 28 dead, including six attackers and 20 of the hostages. Police released photographs of the bodies of five attackers, along with their first names: Akash, Badhon, Bikash, Don and Ripon. The men belonged to the banned domestic group Jumatul Mujahedeen Bangladesh, or JMB, and their families hadn’t heard from them in months, according to police. Asked whether they might also have had Islamic State ties, Police Inspector General A.K.M. Shahidul Hoque said authorities were investigating that possibility. Despite the police saying IS links were being investigated, the home minister refuted the possibility that the Islamic State directed the attack from abroad. Bangladesh’s government insists the extremist Sunni Muslim group based in Syria and Iraq has no presence in the country, and in the past has suggested that any claims of responsibility for violence waged in the South Asian

months have involved machete-wielding men singling out individual activists, foreigners and religious minorities. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has blamed her political opponents of trying to create chaos by backing domestic militants. “Anyone who believes in religion cannot do such an act,” Hasina said Saturday. “They do not have any religion, their only religion is terrorism.” On Sunday morning, the first of two days of national mourning for the victims, police were blocking all access to streets near the Holey Artisan Bakery where the siege occurred. Investigators from both Bangladesh and Japan visited the restaurant to collect evidence. The 20 hostages who were killed included nine Italians, seven Japanese, three Bangladeshis and one Indian teenager. Two police officers were killed by the attackers, and 13 people were rescued when commandos stormed the restaurant Saturday morning. Another 25 officers and one civilian were wounded, and some of the rescued hostages had injuries. The hospitals treating them would not give fresh information on their conditions Sunday. The attack was the worst in the recent series of attacks by radical Islamists in the moderate, mostly Muslim nation of 160 million.

BELLOY-EN-SANTERRE, France – In the end, Alan Seeger’s bones could no longer be distinguished from those of his Foreign Legion comrades who had fallen alongside him in one of the most brutal battles of World War I. United across nations, it was the glorious death that he craved. Seeger – an American poet, romantic and soldier – died on that most American of days, July 4th, a century ago Monday. Barely 28, he was already fighting for a global, common cause that bound dozens of countries together at a time when the United States was still a bystander, reluctant to get involved in a faraway war in Europe. His premonition, “I have a Rendezvous with Death,” was to become his most beloved poem, and the volunteer was happy to give his life for France and its grand ideals of “Liberty, Equality and Fraternity.” Half a century later, it was a favorite poem of U.S. President John Kennedy. Seeger was last seen by his Egyptian friend Rif Baer charging the German enemy, a tiny part of the massive Battle of the Somme, where more than 1 million people were killed, wounded or went missing in 4½ months of fighting in 1916. “His head erect, and pride in his eye, I saw him running forward, with bayonet fixed. Soon he disappeared,” Baer described the final scene – and the myth of Seeger emerged. As a belated summer comes to northern France, peonies bloom over Ossuary No. 1 in nearby Lihons where he is believed to lie, forgotten by most but still cherished by some. In the village where he fell, a gnarly apple tree planted in dedication to his sacrifice furtively tries to produce fruit from the few branches it still has. The mayor plans to graft the tree, to make sure Seeger’s memory survives. The Belloy village square is named after him and the village’s World War I memorial even has him – in the Gallic “Alain Seeger” – chiseled in stone. “For France, Alan Seeger is first and foremost the symbol of commitment – commitment right up to death,” local historian Marcel Queyrat said. In his diary, Seeger wrote, “I never took arms out of any hatred against Germany or the Germans, but purely out of love for France.” To his mother he wrote, “There should really be no neutrals in a conflict like this, where there is not a people whose interests are not involved.” This, combined with his French military flair for “elan” – the forward thrust in battle – makes Seeger a standout a century

later when Europeans are questioning their unity. From the start of World War I, Seeger wanted to get the United States involved in the allied cause. Once it did, in 1917, it set the scene for the “American century” of predominance in the world. His centennial now offers a stark contrast. During this year’s U.S. presidential campaign, opponents of Republican candidate Donald Trump accuse him of turning back to isolation, his “America First” slogan stoking such fears. Seeger could not understand those who stood to the side in World War I, hardly the anti-war message that his folk-singing nephew Pete Seeger would later spread during the Vietnam War years. “Playing a part in the life of nations, he is taking part in the largest movement his planet allows him,” Alan Seeger wrote in his diary. Born into a wealthy family that built its fortune on Mexican sugar refining, and with a gift for languages, he went to study at Harvard. His life changed for good when he started hanging out with classmate John Reed, who went on to become the eyewitness writer of the 1917 Russian Communist revolution with “Ten Days that Shook the World.” After Harvard, it was on to New York and the Bohemian lifestyle of Greenwich Village. Soon Seeger was crossing the Atlantic to Paris and the Rive Gauche – the Left Bank. He arrived there in 1912, giving him two years to fall in love with the City of Lights and all things French, enough to decide to defend the nation when war came. “An artist is not only an artist, he is also a man of action which, for me, is absolutely essential,” said Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger, president of the famed family Champagne house. “Seeger shows the way.” Taittinger has been smitten with Seeger’s dash. At his Chateau de la Marquetterie amid the Champagne vineyards, he even has a special room with poetry and photos of Seeger, amid other World War I memorabilia. Seeger was smitten just as much with Champagne, writing of a night when he and other soldiers “in our candle-lit loft we uncorked bottles of bubbling champagne ... and clinking our tin army cups.” Early on, there was much fighting around Reims, Champagne’s main city, and the destruction of the Cathedral by the Germans was considered such a sacrilege that it turned many across the world against Kaiser Wilhelm II. Those were the lands amid rusty vines that soldier Seeger roamed early on – often behind the lines while his soul yearned for action.

ANOTHER VIEW

Congress’s work with Puerto Rico isn’t done yet The good news is Congress finally has passed a bipartisan bill to help Puerto Rico dig out from its $70 billion in debt. The bad news is the island still is a long way from economic recovery. The federally appointed control board created by the law will enable the restructuring of Puerto Rico’s unsustainable debt and oversee its fiscal plans and economic policies. The law’s provisions are strict: In addition to approving all fiscal plans and budgets, the board can overturn noncompliant laws and accelerate the development of critical infrastructure projects. Puerto Rico must develop approved budgets for at least four consecutive years, with annual revenue in excess of expenses, before the board can be terminated. If Congress wants to put the island’s economy on a more sustainable path, however, it will have to do more to help Puerto Rico help itself. One of Puerto Rico’s biggest challenges is tapping and shrinking its informal economy, which may amount for as much as one-quarter of its gross national product. Extending the Earned Income Tax Credit to Puerto Rico would bring workers into the fold and fight poverty. So would granting Puerto Rico the flexibility to provide earning supplements and job training to welfare recipients willing to take jobs in the formal sector. After the battle royale between the new law’s supporters and those who wrongly called it a “bailout,” Puerto Rico may be the last place to which Congress wants to return. But there is little doubt its economy requires sustained attention: It has contracted every year but one since 2006. Unemployment is more than twice the national average, and nearly half the population is below the federal poverty line. Faced with dwindling opportunity, Puerto Ricans are moving to the mainland in growing numbers. Puerto Rico needs to learn to better manage its own affairs, of course. But as long as Puerto Rico is a territory, Congress also has a big role to play. Encouraging economic growth, after all, is good for both creditors and debtors.

To the Editor: Recently, the Northwest Herald achieved recognition for excellence in several newspaper categories. Well done! Congratulations, also, in recognizing the graduation classes of numerous county high schools, their yearly athletic accomplishments and other school activities. All are to be commended for their dedication to purpose. Evidently, Harvard did not graduate any seniors this year. It also didn’t have a prom. Milk Days, as usual, was held again this year. As one wag has observed, McHenry County ceases to exist northwest of Woodstock – except, of course, if there is something negative to report.

• Monday, July 4, 2016

When I was but a wee political scientist, I remember reading old-timey American political scientists writing that two things ailed American politics: the absence of ideological parties and the disinterest of the American public in politics. At the same time I was reading these now-laughably outdated tracts, I would occasionally find myself at extended family vacations at which my aunts, uncles, parents and grandparents would talk politics nonstop. Of course, these conversations interested me greatly, and on occasion I would try to interject an opinion that I’d developed from, you know, trying to earn a doctorate on the subject. These efforts inevitably fell on deaf ears. To my parents’ generation, my graduate studies in political science were likely outweighed by their memory of me, as a teenager, repeatedly losing my wallet or forgetting to pack underwear on vacations. Eventually I came to peace with the minimal sway I held in my family discussions – it just gave me more time to read what I wanted to read anyway. I grew accustomed to not talking about politics all that much in social settings. I enjoyed the quiet. Fast forward to 2016, and three things have changed: 1. Our political parties have gotten way more ideological. 2. The American public is paying pretty keen attention to politic. 3. My friends and family are now treating me like an expert on politics – and it’s killing me, it’s just killing me. I began to notice this last thing at the beginning of the calendar year, when my wife, the Clinton supporter, and my son, the Sanders supporter, began asking my opinion of both the GOP and Democratic primaries every night at dinner. (My daughter, bless her heart, is too young to care about politics too much, but she did grow concerned that her daddy, who ordinarily never drinks, began drinking every time there was a debate on television.) As the primaries continued, when we would go out to dinner with friends, questions about politics dominated the conversation. Phone conversations with my parents frequently turned to a brief Q&A about the 2016 election. My family has just returned from a lovely vacation with them - lovely, that is, except for the barrage of questions directed to me about Brexit and Trump and the parallels between Brexit and Trump. I have no doubt this sounds like petty

whining to most of you: “Poor Drezner, your friends and family treat you like an expert, that must be so rough!” And you’d be right. Politics in 2016 are legitimately fascinating. The political turmoil in Britain right now is making “House of Cards” look gritty and realistic. The United States election right now is making reality show television look bland. Americans are engaged and interested, and they should be, because there’s an approximately 1-in-5 chance we’re going to elect an unqualified bigot to the White House. For me and my fellow political scientists, however, this year has been utterly exhausting. I now understand the looks doctors get when, at a barbecue, you ask them what you think is an innocuous question about some minor medical ailment. If you spend your entire day doing your job, and then you go home and your friends and family want to talk about nothing else but your job, life gets reduced to a single dimension. For 2016, my professional and social worlds have fused into a single conversation about politics, politics, politics. And as a political scientist, let me assure you there is much more to life than politics. Of course, there is something else going on: The very things that make politics so interesting make it painful for political scientists to discuss. It seems like ordinary politics has gone haywire. Donald Trump was not supposed to win the GOP nomination. Bernie Sanders was not supposed to push Hillary Clinton to the brink of political survival. Britain was not supposed to support a ballot measure that every serious economist warned would trigger a recession. So we are being asked why the world has gone crazy at the exact moment that a lot of our standard tools of causal analysis seem to be working less well. For decades, political scientists have bemoaned their perceived lack of influence and impact on the world, that no one listens to them. If this year is an indication, however, there is a worse alternative: a world in which politics never stops, and everyone wants your opinion about what is going on when all we want to do is take a break from politics. So on this July 4 weekend, as we celebrate our country’s birthday in a time of political ferment, I humbly beseech you for a favor. If you encounter friends and family who study politics for a living, don’t be the one to bring up politics with them. If they want to talk about it, let them bring it up. Otherwise, let them enjoy their beer and hot dog and ballgame in peace. They need a break, too.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff gery is intended for people who are severely obese, with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher. (BMI is an estimate of your body fat calculated from your height and weight. If you type “BMI” into a search engine, you’ll find tools that make it easy for you to calculate your BMI.) In people with a BMI of 40 or higher, the surgery can lengthen life, although the evidence for this is stronger in women than in men. You also can qualify for surgery if you have a BMI of 35 to 39.9 along with an obesity-related medical condition such as diabetes or heart disease. Finally, you can qualify for surgery if you have a BMI of 30.0 to 34.9 and if you have uncontrollable Type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome. The long-term benefits of the surgery in this case are not as well established. If you have certain medical conditions, you should avoid bariatric surgery because they raise your risk from surgery. These include: major depression or an eating disorder that has not responded to treatment; drug or alcohol abuse; severe heart disease; and severe problems with blood clotting. Don’t think of weight-loss surgery as an easy fix. You must make a lifelong commitment to healthy eating to achieve lasting weight loss. Without this lifestyle change, surgery will either make you miserable or not result in weight loss. And most likely, both.

Dear Dr. K: I’m very overweight. Diet and exercise help a little, but then I gain it back. My doctor is recommending weightloss surgery. Does it really work, and how does it work? Dear Reader: There are several types of weight-loss surgery (also called “bariatric surgery”). They work in various ways. They shrink the size of the stomach: The stomach gets full more easily. They reduce the absorption of calories and nutrients in the intestine. Some types of bariatric surgery also lead to hormone changes that reduce appetite and burn energy more efficiently. One procedure is called gastric banding, or “Lap-Band.” Gastric banding involves placing an adjustable band around the stomach to make it smaller. This restricts the amount of food you can eat and makes you feel full faster. The band can be tightened or loosened as needed, depending on how quickly you are losing weight. This surgery is done laparoscopically, through small incisions, using smaller instruments. Another common weight-loss surgery is known as gastric bypass, which shrinks the size of your stomach. It also reconfigures your small intestine so food bypasses most of your stomach and the upper part of your small intestine. As a result, your body absorbs fewer calories. Gastric bypass can be done through open surgery or laparoscopically. Weight-loss surgery can dramatically: • Reduce blood sugar levels • Lower blood pressure and cholesterol • Improve sleep apnea • Improve heart function • Reduce symptoms of acid reflux (GERD) • Reduce urinary stress incontinence But it’s not for people who need to lose just a few pounds.

to me saying she feels trapped and wants to live life, what it indicates to me is the person either isn’t getting what she needs from her boyfriend or she’s not mature enough to settle down. Mature individuals realize compromise is necessary in successful relationships, but these young women appear to prefer to gamble on all or nothing. I’m sharing your wisdom with them, but I’m not at all certain they will appreciate it. Dear Abby: My wife and I have a good marriage and two well-behaved kids who are good students and active in our community. Our 8-year-old son is very much the rule follower in school and outside activities, but cheats when playing board or card games with me or his sister at home. When I catch him doing it, I end the game and tell him I won’t play with him if he’s going to cheat. My wife believes the cheating is “just for fun” and I’m being too hard on him. I say the lesson I’m teaching him is that cheating is wrong. We agree we are fortunate this happens only at home, but I’m concerned if it is left unchecked, it will be regarded as permissible and it will escalate to become a problem in other circumstances. What do you think? Should I let up? – Virginia Dad Dear Dad: No, stick to your guns. And the next time you catch your son cheating, impress upon him if others catch him at it, they not only won’t want to play games with him, but also may not want to be friends with him.

They throw away a great relationship with someone who loves them. How is dumping someone who loves you “living?” I met my husband in high school, and we went to parties, nightclubs and traveled – always together. We had each other’s backs and pushed each other to achieve what we wanted. And the best part was, I had my best friend with me during all of my greatest life moments. Now, after 23 years of marriage, I hear stories from my women friends who dumped their guys to live it up and now wish they never had. They ALL said: “Guess what you get with a onenight stand? You get left with disappointment because the guy doesn’t know what you like in bed or gives you an STD.” And while they were “living life,” the boyfriend they loved and wish they had back found someone else. So, all of you out there who think you’re not living life: It’s not because of the guy you’re with. It’s you holding yourself back. Try life with your partner and see what happens before you throw it all away for a one-night stand you’ll most likely regret. – Living Life In Wis-

First of all, I hope all of my American readers enjoy a fun Independence Day. Victor Hugo said, “Mankind is not a circle with a single center but an ellipse with two focal points of which facts are one and ideas the other.” At the bridge table, you use the known facts to form an idea of how to try to make or break the contract. Also, if you can see two chances to succeed, that is twice as good. In today’s deal, how should South play in four hearts after West leads LOST DOG HARVARD / ALDEN RD JACK IS MY NAME I AM WHITE WITH TAN MARKINGS. I the diamond queen: king, 10, two?

Ask your representative for details. South should see a potential loser in each suit. Maybe the trump ﬁnesse will work, but if he takes it immediately and it loses, another diamond would require declarer’s establishing a club winner in the dummy for a spade discard. However, perhaps West has the spade king. Then dummy’s queen can become a winner. South should hope that West has one of the major-suit kings. At trick two, declarer plays a spade to his ace, then leads his second spade. Here, West wins with the king and plays another diamond, but South takes that trick on the board and pitches his last diamond or the club jack on the spade queen. Then he can try the trump ﬁnesse for a possible overtrick.

Sadzeck supporter Chris James, who writes about sports for NBC 5 TV of Dallas-Fort Worth’s website, is eager to see what Texas Rangers minor league pitcher Conner Sadzeck, a Crystal Lake Central graduate, can do at the major league level. He wrote in a story on nbcdfw.com, “... There’s one pitcher in Double-A Frisco that I’d like to see Conner get a chance with the Sadzeck big league club at some point this season. “Conner Sadzeck put on a pitching clinic for the Roughriders Friday night, throwing six shutout innings against Northwest Arkansas. The 6-foot-7, 240-pound righty struck out seven batters, including striking out the side in the sixth inning, and gave up no walks. Clearly, there is a reason he’s on the Rangers 40-man roster.”

CLC senior starting hockey goalie, budding racer By JOHN LAVACCARE

jlavaccare@shawmedia.com Clint Billimack, an incoming senior at Crystal Lake Central, is an unorthodox two-sport athlete. He is a goalie for the District 155 Predators hockey team that combines players from Central and Prairie Ridge. This summer, for the first time, Billimack also is competing in auto races at Blackhawk Farms Raceway in South Beloit. Racing runs in the Billmack family, as Ken Billimack, Clint’s father, was a race car driver in his younger days, and now works at a company that services high-end race cars. The elder Billimack said he first took Clint to the racetrack when the now-17-yearold was just a toddler. Clint quickly fell in love with auto racing. “Growing up on the racetrack, I had it in mind as something I definitely wanted to do,” Clint said. “I just remember thinking, ‘This is really cool, I want to try to do this.’ ” It took a rigorous process for Clint to gain his father’s trust on the racetrack, starting with go-kart racing at a young age. When Clint was finally old enough to learn to drive, he also learned to drive a manual transmis-

“Growing up on the racetrack, I had it in mind as something I definitely wanted to do.” Clint Billimack

Crystal Lake Central senior sion vehicle for racing purposes. This year, Clint earned both a completion license from racing school and his parents’ approval to start racing. Ken said his son’s willingness to listen to instruction was a sign he was mature enough to handle racing. “He’s proven professionalism and listening and proving that he’s not overstepping his bounds,” Ken said. Clint set a Sports Car Club of America track record on the Blackhawk Farms road course in the Super Production Under class (for engine sizes 3.0 liters or less) in a BMW E36 M3 in April. Ken noted Clint’s goalkeeping reflexes help his son avoid accidents on the racetrack. “In his first race, he got hit from the side, and we watched the in-car video and watched how fast his hands saved the car, where he doesn’t spin

out the car or wreck or anything like that,” Ken said. Clint amassed an 88 percent save percentage in his junior season as starting goalkeeper for the Predators, and Predators assistant coach Frank Tanzillo considers him one of the better goalies in the league. Although Tanzillo said he wouldn’t recommend other hockey players take up auto racing, he can see how racing might benefit Clint on the ice. “It may help him with his focus,” Tanzillo said. “He is a pretty focused individual, but I would say with the auto racing, you’ve got to be focused 100 percent of the time, where in hockey, there’s times when a puck’s not on our end where they’re maybe not focused 100 percent of the time, so it may help with his focus.” For now, hockey is still Clint’s main obligation. When he’s not at work at an auto racing shop in Woodstock or at the racetrack, Clint can be found in the gym, preparing for his senior season with the Predators. “The racing season’s pretty much my downtime,” Clint said. “It’s not every weekend when I’m at a track or something, but it’s most of them. The winter’s a lot more busy, because hockey’s more involved than racing is.”

BULLS

Rondo to replace Rose

Source: Bulls agree to 2-year, $28M deal with point guard By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com It hasn’t exactly been the life preserver that was offered only a few months earlier. The Bulls’ front office of VP of basketball operations John Paxson and general manager Gar Forman seemed poised to get Fred Hoiberg the necessary tools to help the first-year coach improve going into Year 2, whether it was players who better fit his system or a more loyal supporting staff. Even with a source confirming a report Sunday the Bulls have agreed on a two-year, $28 million deal with veteran point guard Rajon Rondo, that life preserver has been more of a heavy rock with a rope tied around it. Start swimming, Fred. The Rondo deal, which cannot be made official until Wednesday, appears to make sense on the surface because of the fact Rondo led the NBA with 11.7 assists a game this past season. Derrick Rose’s decision making was a problem most of the season, and 4.7 assists a game in an offense built on pacing and ball movement wasn’t getting it done. But Rondo also is 30 years old, and if Hoiberg thought Jimmy Butler gave him some headaches at times, well, Rondo is a

bottle of aspirin waiting to happen. Playing on four teams now in less than two years, Rondo is far removed from the player who helped the 2008 Celtics win a championship. He’s had fiery relationships with coaches Rick Carlisle and George Karl since last season, as well as being punished by the NBA for calling referee Bill Kennedy an anti-gay slur. The other side of the John Paxson Rondo coin, however, is the term soft has never been in his job description. The Bulls were looking to add toughness, and help seems to be on the way in that department. “We’re in this with Fred,” Paxson insisted in his season-ending state of the union address. “It’s our responsibility to help him along that way. And that’s looking at everything we do from top to bottom.” The timeline for that top-to-bottom cleaning started with the dismissal of mascot Benny the Bull, a new strength and fitness coordinator, trading Rose to the Knicks, drafting Denzel Valentine, and then letting Joakim Noah join Rose in New York. Meanwhile, rumored changes to the coaching staff never happened, while

Rose, Noah and Pau Gasol have been turned into Robin Lopez, 34-year-old Jose Calderon, Rondo, and the unproven talent of Jerian Grant and Valentine. “We still believe Fred has a bright future,” Paxson continued. “He’s going to have to devote a lot of time and energy to determining what he wants to be as a head coach and how he wants his teams to play. And we have to give him the resources to do that. And we will.” The jury was still out on that one. The belief at the start of the offseason was another assistant would join Jim Boylen on the defensive end, meaning assistant coach Randy Brown would be moved back to the front office where he was an assistant GM under Forman. Several players had trust issues with Brown because of his close ties with Forman and thought his presence in the locker room was more of eyes and ears for Forman than an actual benefit to helping Hoiberg. Noah was in the forefront of that, and maybe his departure has them feeling they no longer need to remove Brown from that situation. The good news is one player did say Hoiberg has been in his office almost daily watching film, but the coach did that last summer, too. That didn’t end so well.

CHICAGO – Hall of Fame player Sheryl Swoopes is out at Loyola, 2 1/2 months after the university began investigating the women’s basketball coach following allegations of player mistreatment. Loyola announced the decision in a three-sentence statement late Sunday. “Sheryl Swoopes is no longer serving as the women’s basketball coach at Loyola University Chicago,” athletic director Steve Watson said in a statement. “A search for her replacement will begin immediately. Loyola thanks Sheryl for her service to the women’s basketball program.” Loyola announced its investigation – by the university, not the athletic department – April 15. It eventually hired the law firm Dykema to assist. At issue were accusations of misconduct against players. Five players transferred after a 6-25 season in 2014-15, and 10 more after a 14-16 mark this season. Former player Cate Soane, who told the Sun-Times in April she was “humiliated” and “belittled” by the staff, filed an NCAA appeal after the 2013-14 season, asking for a waiver from the mandatory transfer redshirt season, citing a hostile environment. The NCAA denied the request. Late Sunday, Soane said she was pleased by Loyola’s decision. “No other student will have to go through what I have to go through,” she said. In late May, sources confirmed another allegation of former players – that the staff took away their laptops and schoolbooks at times on road trips to force them to focus on basketball. Last month, Swoopes released a denial through her personal public relations representative, not the university, and mentioned “accusations and false attacks made of my character and coaching.”

Sox are ‘back’ with 4 straight series wins By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

HOUSTON – With four straight series wins, the latest against one of the hottest teams in baseball and two others against playoff contenders, the White Sox are declaring themselves “back.” And while their 42-40 record isn’t sending shivers down the collective spine of all those who also consider themselves American League playoff contenders, the Sox have righted themselves with nine wins in their past 13 games heading home to play the New York Yankees and Atlanta Braves this week before the All-Star break. “Just keep playing,” manager Robin Ventura said. “We’re still in the hunt. We started out great, then we took a dump and now we’re back to playing better baseball.” The Sox started 23-10 before going 1026 to fall three games under .500. Taking three of four from the Red Sox in Boston and two of three at home from the Blue Jays and Twins preceded their latest victorious two-of-three series, capped by Sunday’s 4-1 victory at Minute Maid

Anderson also singled, giving him 11 multi-hit games in his first 22 as a major leaguer, a Sox record. “[We] picked [ourselves] up from where [we] were a month ago,” Ventura said. “Taking care of business on that day you’re playing has been the mantra we’ve had. You show up and take care of business that day.” Quintana had seven losses and two no-decisions in his previous nine starts, in large part because he had received one run or less of support in those nine. “He’s such a fighter,’’ Abreu said. “We are a very good team. It’s just a matter of believing in ourselves, and we believe in ourselves right now.”

METS 14, CUBS 3

Mets complete all-too-familiar sweep of Cubs By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

NEW YORK – No big deal? It’s only June or July? These losses don’t matter because they’re not “big boy” games like the ones in October? Don’t believe it. This rematch in New York mattered to the Cubs. And when the Mets re-enacted last fall’s playoff sweep with a four-game, weekend sweep over the Cubs at Citi Field, it came with a familiar look, and sting. And it mattered. “Obviously, we probably were too excited about playing them again and kind of [looking for] revenge for what happened in the playoffs,” catcher Miguel Montero said. “Which I don’t think’s the smart thing to do. You’ve just got to play your game and forget. It’s already over.” The Cubs got a painful reminder of last October in New York by the time Jon Lester was clobbered for eight quick runs in a 14-3 loss Sunday that finished off the worst series the Cubs have played this season. Even before Sunday’s game, manager Joe Maddon said the series felt familiar, mostly because of the Cubs’ inability to

venge or pride, that’s what makes the Cubs’ lost-in-New-York weekend signifChicago New York icant. ab r h bi ab r h bi Zobrist 2b 2 0 0 0 Lagares cf 6 2 2 0 The Cubs are without leadoff man Russell ph-ss 3 0 2 0 Grndrsn rf 4 2 2 2 Dexter Fowler (hamstring) and a few Heyward cf-rf 5 1 1 0 Bstardo p 0 0 0 0 Bryant rf 2 0 0 0 deGrom ph 1 0 0 0 other injured hitters, but their on-base Almora ph-cf 2 0 2 0 Verrett p 0 0 0 0 Rizzo 1b 4 0 1 1 Cspedes lf 4 1 2 1 production has declined steadily since Cntrras lf-c 3 1 1 1 Nimmo ph-lf 1 1 0 0 Cndlrio 3b 4 0 1 0 N.Wlker 2b 4 1 2 1 a torrid April – despite Kris Bryant, AnJ.Baez ss-2b 4 1 3 0 K.Jhnsn ph-2b2 1 2 2 thony Rizzo, Jason Heyward and Ben ZoD.Ross c 2 0 0 0 W.Flres 3b 6 3 6 4 Szczur lf 2 0 0 0 Loney 1b 4 0 2 1 brist all still in the lineup.

We’re fine,” said Lester, who recorded only four outs in the shortest start of his career. “It’s not a matter of anybody in this clubhouse panicking by any means.” Sunday got so out of hand so fast that: • Lester added 64 points to an ERA that ranked second in the majors when the day began (now 2.67). • A kid making his major league debut, Jeimer Candelario, at third base for the Cubs saw a 100 mph fastball for his first big-league pitch and struck out twice before delivering his first big-league hit against the same pitcher (Noah Syndergaard) in the seventh inning. “It was exciting,” said Candelario, who was called up Sunday when Chris Coghlan (rib cage) was placed on the DL. “It was exciting.” • At one point in the eighth, a relief-pitching catcher (Montero) faced a pinch-hitting pitcher (Jacob deGrom). • The Cubs got a hit with a man in scoring position for the first time in the series, in the first inning, only to go 1 for 10 in that situation the rest of the game (2 for 29 in series).

Alex Burnett of the 82nd Airborne Division throws a baseball to Atlanta Braves assistant bullpen coach Alan Butts before the Braves’ game against the Miami Marlins on Sunday in Fort Bragg, N.C. The Marlins won, 5-2. gan play on a field that didn’t even exist roughly four months earlier, when MLB commissioner Rob Manfred promised “a unique event” in honor of the military for the Fourth of July holiday weekend. By Sunday evening, it looked the part, with soldiers mingling with players around the edge of the field during

batting practice. While Marlins star Giancarlo Stanton autographed a couple of baseballs, Marlins hitting coach Barry Bonds stood a few feet away near the dugout shaking hands and posing for photos with soldiers. As the first pitch drew near, soldiers unfurled a giant American flag in the outfield for the singing of the national

last year, and the HSBC Champions in Shanghai in the fall of 2013. Johnson’s 66-66 weekend at Firestone gave him a 6-under 274, matching the highest winning score at this World Golf Championship since Woods in 2005. Nine players finished under par, the fewest since Woods was the only player to break par in 2007. Two starts, two victories, and now No. 2 in the world. “It’s the first time I’ve won two tournaments in a row. I mean, that’s big,” Johnson said after his one-shot victory over Scott Piercy. “I’m excited and looking forward to going over to the British with the golf game in good form.” Day closed with a 72 and tied for third with Jordan Spieth (67), Matt Kuchar (66) and Kevin Chappell (67).

AKRON, Ohio – Dustin Johnson sailed off to the Bahamas for a private celebration of winning his first major championship at the U.S. Open. He came roaring back at the Bridgestone Invitational. In the toughest conditions at Firestone in almost a decade, Johnson made it look easy Sunday when he closed with a 4-under-par 66 and rallied from a three-shot deficit against the world’s No. 1 player to win another World Golf Championship. He needed some help from Jason Day, who collapsed on the back nine. Johnson did his part, making a tough par save on the 15th hole when he got in range and pouring in a 15-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole that made a bogey at the end meaningless. Johnson joined Tiger Woods as the PGA TOUR only players to capture three of the four Barracuda Championship: At Reno, NeWorld Golf Championships. He won vada, Greg Chalmers won at Montreux the Cadillac Championship at Doral for his first PGA Tour title, eagling the

final hole for a six-point victory in the modified Stableford scoring event. The 42-year-old Australian broke through in his 386th start after entering the week as the active player with the most events without a victory. Gary Chalmers had a four-point round to finish with 43 in the system that awards eight points for double eagle, five for eagle, two for birdie and deducts a point for bogey and three for double bogey or worse.

LPGA TOUR Cambia Portland Classic: At Portland,

Oregon, defending champion Brooke Henderson survived some tense moments on the back nine on the way to a four-stroke victor. The second-ranked Henderson shot a 14-under 274 after a final round 71 at Columbia Edgewater Country Club, pulling away from American Stacy Lewis, who was 10 under after a 69. Henderson became the first back-toback winner at Portland since Annika

Sorenstam won consecutive tournaments in 2002 and 2003. The 18-year-old is the first wire-to-wire winner at Portland since the tournament went to a 72hole event in 2013.

Yvelines, France, Thongchai Jaidee won the French Open by four strokes, as Rory McIlroy failed to deliver a final-round surge. Starting the day with a two-stroke lead over McIlroy, the 46-year-old Thongchai birdied two of his first six holes and shot a 3-under 68 to finish 11-under 273 at Le Golf National outside Paris, where the 2018 Ryder Cup will be staged. Francesco Molinari finished second after shooting 66, the lowest round of the final day. McIlroy couldn’t get near Thongchai. He bogeyed No. 3 and made his only birdie on No. 14, shooting par 71 for third place.

FORT BRAGG, N.C. – Alex Burnett felt a familiar thrill of getting to see the Atlanta Braves he had rooted for since he was a kid on the field. It meant even more with the Braves playing the Miami Marlins in an historic game at Fort Bragg – where the Sgt. 1st Class Burnett is stationed with the 82nd Airborne Division. “I’ve been watching the Atlanta Braves play since I was 12 years old, back when they were playing at Fulton-County Stadium in Atlanta, and just to see this team come out here and do this for us, it’s just overwhelming,” the Atlanta native said Sunday. “We can’t be thankful enough.” One of 162 regular-season games for both teams, it had much more significance as the first regular-season game of a major professional sport played on an active military installation. The Marlins won, 5-2. “It was just an unbelievable experience,” Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said. “We’re going to take nothing but really good memories away from the night.” The game capped a busy day for players and Major League Baseball officials long before the Braves and Marlins be-

anthem. That was punctuated by four Army helicopters staging a low diamond-formation flyover from beyond the center field wall to the newly constructed press box to roars from the crowd filling the temporary bleachers around the field. “They brought baseball to these soldiers,” said Lt. Gen. Stephen Townsend, the commander of the sprawling U.S. Army post in the sandhills of North Carolina. Bragg and MLB officials had worked since March to build the stadium on the site of an abandoned former golf course. The $5 million project was financed by MLB and the players’ association to create a ballpark with temporary seating holding 12,500, with a reported attendance Sunday night of 12,582. Workers laid Bermuda grass sod, followed by the field, in May. The project also included a drainage system that will remove 8 to 10 inches of water per hour. It looked like it would get a workout with rain forecast into the evening, but conditions remained dry all night. The final product was a field that players’ association executive director Tony Clark said “looks like it’s been here forever.” Afterward, the bleachers will be removed and the field will be converted into use for recreational play.

6 U.S. OLYMPIC TRACK AND FIELD TRIALS

Felix, Gatlin, Merritt bound for Rio By EDDIE PELLS

The Associated Press EUGENE, Ore. – For the quickly forming U.S. Olympic track team, Sunday was as much about the numbers as the names. One by one, Allyson Felix, LaShawn Merritt and Justin Gatlin crossed the finish line to secure their trips to Rio de Janeiro. And every time one of those Olympic veterans crossed that line, the numbers on the clock spoke volumes, too. They all qualified with the best times in the world to this point in 2016: Gatlin at 9.8 seconds in the 100 meters, Felix at 49.68 in the women’s 400 and Merritt at 43.97 in that men’s race. Gatlin’s performance in the 100 final certainly will turn the most heads. It’s the same time he posted last year at the world championships in Beijing, where Usain Bolt edged him by a hundredth of a second. Bolt pulled out of this week’s Jamaican national championships, and his form will be a mystery for at least the next few weeks. Gatlin looks fine, even if he’s destined to head to his third Olympics as an underdog to Bolt, The World’s Fastest Man. Ashton Eaton will be a favorite. The decathlon world-record holder and defending Olympic champion’s score of 8,750 was almost 300 short of his world

Besides Eaton, nobody has carried the flag for Team USA’s track team over the past several years than Felix, who has been to three Olympics and picked up six medals, including 200-meter gold in London.

Her quest at Olympics No. 4 is to become the first woman to win gold in both the 200 and 400 meters. That mission landed on shaky ground when she hurt her right ankle this spring while working out. It’s been a brutal comeback, she said, though the performance Sunday hardly showed it. Pulling away late, she finished the 400-meter final for a .26-second win

over Phyllis Francis, then collapsed in exhaustion and relief. “Two months ago, I couldn’t even walk,” Felix said. “To be here and have everything still come together, I don’t know quite how it happened.” Merritt certainly does. Fists pumping down the stretch, he burst down the last 50 meters of the straightaway to finish up a .76-second romp over Gil Roberts. It was a clinic, reminiscent of Merritt’s .99-second blowout over rival Jeremy Wariner in the 2008 Olympics. “People always say they look at my film to tell their athletes, ‘This is how you’re supposed to run the last part of the race,’” Merritt said. “They haven’t been looking at it lately. I had to give them something to look at.” Yet another world-best mark came from Chaunte Lowe in the high jump. Her jump of 6 feet, 7 inches beat Vashti Cunningham, daughter of former NFL quarterback Randall, by 11/2 inches. Lowe is on the way to her fourth Olympics, seeking the medal that has eluded her there. Stoked by her performance, and the others she saw on this breezy, sunshine-filled day in Eugene, she was thinking bigger – not hard to do on a day such as this. “It felt so easy,” she said. “I think I’ll be ready. Just keep training, fine-tuning. I think we could see a sweep of the podium.”

U.S. OLYMPIC SWIMMING TRIALS

Trials close with concerns, no world records By BETH HARRIS

The Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. – The U.S. Olympic swim team has a history of improving its times from the trials to the games. The Americans are counting on it happening again next month in Rio after not setting a single world record during the eight-day selection meet. Led by Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky, the U.S. still boasts the most powerful swim team in the world. But other countries have improved since four years ago in London and Phelps knows he’s got to be much better by the time the Rio Games begin. Clearly, there’s cause for concern. Many of the times swum in Omaha were slower than the 2012 trials, where no world records were set. Ryan Lochte and Missy Franklin struggled this time around and they’ll be joined by 29 rookies on the team, one more

Michael Phelps swims to victory in the 100-meter butterfly final Saturday at the U.S. Olympic trials in Omaha, Neb. than in London. “We’re going to have to improve for sure,” David Marsh, head coach of the U.S. women’s team, said Sunday. Phelps has said he wants to swim another personal best at least once before he retires after Rio. He was faster at last year’s summer nationals where he swam times that would have won

medals at the world championships in Russia. “It’s been 2009 since I’ve done a best time,” he said. “It’s frustrating to not be able to go the same time or faster than I did last year, especially because I think I’m in better shape than I was last year.” Phelps joked that if Bowman doesn’t have a plan to make him faster he’ll have to fire the only coach he’s had his entire career. “His times this week were mediocre, and I’m crystal clear on what to do,” said Bowman, who will guide the U.S. men in Rio. Phelps qualified in three individual events, Ledecky and newcomer Maya DiRado made it in three each, and Franklin will swim two. Ledecky carries huge expectations into her second Olympics. In January, she lowered her own world mark in the 800-meter freestyle at a meet in Aus-

tin, Texas, where she set world-leading times in the 200 and 400 freestyles. She’ll try to become the first woman since American Debbie Meyers at the 1968 Mexico City Games to sweep the 200, 400 and 800 free. “I’m just going to focus on my racing and what my goals are, and anybody else’s expectations don’t really mean that much to me,” Ledecky said. Several stalwarts of the U.S. team failed to qualify for Rio, including Natalie Coughlin, Tyler Clary, Matt Grevers, Cullen Jones and Jessica Hardy. All of them medaled in London, where the team won a leading 31 medals, including 18 golds. “It’s challenging being at trials and being able to make the transition from here to the games,” Phelps said. “You got to be ready when the lights come on and if you’re not, you could fall short by a hundredth or a few hundredths, and that’s the tough part.”

SPORTS BRIEFS Slovakia’s Sagan wins stage to claim Tour yellow jersey

CHERBOURG-EN-COTENTIN, France – World champion Peter Sagan of Slovakia made the most of a steep, short climb in a frenzied finale to win the second stage of the Tour de France and claim the race’s yellow jersey Sunday. Two-time Tour de France winner Alberto Contador, who hit the ground for the second consecutive day, was dropped in the final climb and lost 48 seconds. Overnight leader Mark Cavendish finished just behind BMC co-leader Richie Porte, who was among the big losers of day, crossing the finish line 1:45 behind

Cool. Oh, nice,” the 34-year-old American said with a laugh. “I had no idea. That’s awesome, right? That’s good, right?” She’s now 300-42, an .877 winning percentage, and will go for No. 301 right away: All 16 men’s and women’s fourth-round matches are scheduled for Monday, when Williams faces two-time major champion Svetlana Kuznetsova.

LONDON – Serena Williams has won so many Grand Slam matches she has lost count. Then again, as she noted Sunday, it’s her losses that get a lot more attention nowadays. Looking much more ready for Week 2 at Wimbledon than she did in her previous outing, Williams joined Martina Navratilova as the only women with 300 victories at major tournaments in the Open era by overwhelming Annika Beck, 6-3, 6-0, in 51 minutes to get to the fourth round.

“Every time I step out on the court, if I don’t win, it’s major national news,” Williams said a day after her counterpart in the men’s draw, No. 1 and defending champion Novak Djokovic, was ousted. “But if I do win, it’s just like a small tag in the corner.” Pushed to three sets her last time out, Williams was about as dominant as can be against her 43rd-ranked German opponent. Almost perfect, even. Williams won the last 17 points she served. She won 24 of the last 28 points overall. She accumulated 25 winners to two for Beck. Afterward, the six-time Wimble-
