Council cuts city attorney’s pay raise

Blackhawks win Stanley Cup in Boston

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Lord Stanley’s Bar was rocking early and often Monday night. When Dave Bolland scored the game-winning goal with 59 seconds left in the game, it was pandemonium.

It was only fitting that Lord Stanley’s, named for the trophy Hawks’ captain Jonathan Toews hoisted after their 3-2 win over the Boston Bruins in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final, was home to a big, loud crowd of Hawks fans, who cheered the team on to its fifth title in franchise history.

“It’s amazing. I’ve been waiting since 2010,” said Jordan Sopko, one of many fans wearing a red

Blackhawks jersey. “Win the President’s Trophy, win the Cup. Heck of a season.”

Sopko even had a playoff beard going.

“Shaved it right before the playoffs began,” he said. “Grown it since, man.”

The win capped a spectacular season for the Hawks, who opened the lockout-shortened campaign with a 24-game point streak, and they won their second President’s Trophy for having the best record during the regular season.

Fans packed the downtown DeKalb bar, wearing Hawks T-shirts and jerseys with names of players such as Toews, Conn Smythe winner Patrick Kane and even old-school goalie Ed Belfour.

The crowd went crazy for each of the Hawks goals, and the loudness didn’t seem to stop after Bryan Bickell’s goal with 1:16 left remaining in the third period, and Bolland’s game-winner less than 30 seconds later.

The eruption was 10 times louder when the horn sounded and the celebration began. Plenty of fans filled Lord Stanley’s throughout the game. It was tough to find a single seat.

“I basically went from really upset and mad, thinking there was going to be a Game 7, to jubilation,” said Daniel Honeyman, who was sporting a red Hawks shirt with Toews’ No. 19 on it. “I can’t even put it into words. ... It was awesome.”

DeKALB – Even though they had budgeted for it, DeKalb aldermen canceled the 2 percent pay raise to the city attorney’s contract.

At the same time, they had extended discussions about the necessity of employing a lobbying firm and an external economic development firm. The council was also set to vote Monday on cost-of-living-adjustments to nonunion city staff.

DeKalb aldermen voted 4-3 to cut back a projected $4,000 increase to Frieders Law, LLC, the principal lawyer of which is Dean Frieders. Aldermen Dave Baker, Monica O’Leary, David Jacobson and Mayor John Rey voted to cut it. O’Leary, Jacobson, and Baker would later vote to approve Frieders’ contract, while Aldermen Ronald Naylor and Mayor John Rey voted against it.

The discussion Monday night highlighted an ideological difference between some of the council members: Those who feel the city has moved out of financial danger, and those who feel the city is still in it.

When told that the increases were part of the “cost of doing business,” Jacobson and others scoffed at that remark.

“I think Dean does a wonderful job for us, but when you continue to give raises, and continue to do the cost of business, the ceiling runs out,” Jacobson said.

Interim City Manager Rudy Espiritu repeated several times throughout the night that all of the individual items – from the human services agreements to the contracts for the city’s external partners – were already budgeted for in the fiscal 2014 budget. This was a point Naylor hammered on.

“I think Dean [Frieders] does a wonderful job for us, but when you continue to give raises, and continue to do the cost of business, the ceiling runs out.”

Kerry urges Russia to ‘do the right thing’: Return NSA leaker

By JIM KUHNHENN and LARA JAKES The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The U.S. grasped for help Monday from both adversaries and uneasy allies in an effort to catch fugitive National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden. The White House demanded that he be denied asylum, blasted China for letting him go and urged Russia to “do the right thing” and send him back to America to face espionage charges.

Snowden was believed to be in Russia, where he fled Sunday after weeks of hiding out in Hong Kong following his

disclosure of the broad scope of two highly classified counterterror surveillance programs to two newspapers. The programs collect vast amounts of Americans’ phone records and worldwide online data in the name of national security.

Snowden had flown from Hong Kong to Russia, and was expected to fly early Monday to Havana, from where he would continue on to Ecuador, where he has applied for asylum. But he didn’t get on that plane and his exact whereabouts were unclear.

The founder of WikiLeaks, the secret-spilling organization that has embraced Snowden, said the American

was only passing through Russia on his way to an unnamed destination to avoid the reach of U.S. authorities. Julian Assange said Snowden had applied for asylum in Ecuador, Iceland and possibly other countries.

Despite its diplomatic tough talk, the U.S. faces considerable difficulty in securing cooperation on Snowden from nations with whom it has chilly relations.

The White House said Hong Kong’s refusal to detain Snowden had “unquestionably” hurt relations between the United States and China.

While Hong Kong has a high degree of autonomy from the

rest of China, experts said Beijing probably orchestrated Snowden’s exit in an effort to remove an irritant in Sino-U.S. relations. President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping met earlier this month in California to smooth over rough patches in the countries’ relationship, including allegations of hacking into each other’s computer systems.

Secretary of State John Kerry urged Moscow to “do the right thing” amid high-level pressure on Russia to turn over Snowden.

“We’re following all the appropriate legal channels and working with various other

countries to make sure that the rule of law is observed,” Obama told reporters when asked if he was confident that Russia would expel Snowden.

Obama’s spokesman, Jay Carney, said the U.S. was expecting the Russians “to look at the options available to them to expel Mr. Snowden back to the United States to face justice for the crimes with which he is charged.”

Carney was less measured about China.

“The Chinese have emphasized the importance of building mutual trust,” he said. “And we think that they

Court punts on affirmative action Orders lower court to reconsider Texas case

By MARK SHERMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Affirmative action in college admissions survived Supreme Court review Monday in a consensus decision that avoided the difficult constitutional issues surrounding a challenge to the University of Texas admission plan.

Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the court’s 7-1 ruling that said a court should approve the use of race as a factor in admissions only after it concludes “that no workable race-neutral alternatives would produce the educational benefits of diversity.”

But the decision did not question the underpinnings of affirmative action, which the high court last reaffirmed in 2003.

The justices said the federal appeals court in New Orleans did not apply the highest level of judicial scrutiny when it upheld the Texas plan, which uses race as one among many factors in admitting about a quarter of the university’s incoming freshmen. The school gives the bulk of the slots to Texans who are admitted based on their high school class

rank, without regard to race.

The high court ordered the appeals court to take another look at the case of Abigail Fisher, a white Texan who was not offered a spot at the university’s flagship Austin campus in 2008. Fisher has since received her undergraduate degree from Louisiana State University.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was the lone dissenter. “In my view, the courts below adhered to this court’s pathmarking decisions and there is no need for a second look,” Ginsburg said in a dissent she read aloud.

Justice Clarence Thomas, alone on the court, said he would have overturned the high court’s 2003 ruling, though he went along with Monday’s outcome.

Justice Elena Kagan stayed out of the case, presumably because she had some contact with it at an earlier stage when she worked in the Justice Department.

Kennedy said that courts must determine that the use of race is necessary to achieve the educational benefits of diversity, the Supreme Court’s standard for affirmative action in education since 1978. The high court most recently reaffirmed the constitutionality of affirmative action in Grutter v. Bollinger in 2003, a case involving the University of Michigan.

“As the Court said in Grutter, it remains at all times the university’s

obligation to demonstrate, and the judiciary’s obligation to determine, that admissions processes ‘ensure that each applicant is evaluated as an individual and not in a way that makes an applicant’s race or ethnicity the defining feature of his or her application,’ ” Kennedy said.

University of Texas president Bill Powers said the university plans no immediate changes in its admissions policies as a result of Monday’s ruling and will continue to defend them in the courts.

“We remain committed to assembling a student body at the University of Texas at Austin that provides the educational benefits of diversity on campus while respecting the rights of all students and acting within the constitutional framework established by the court,” Powers said.

But Edward Blum, who helped engineer Fisher’s challenge, said it is unlikely that the Texas plan and many other college plans can long survive. “The Supreme Court has established exceptionally high hurdles for the University of Texas and other universities and colleges to overcome if they intend to continue using race preferences in their admissions policies,” said Blum, director of The Project on Fair Representation in Alexandria, Va.

8 TODAY’S TALKER

Post-recession, views on education change The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHONGQING, China – Determined to learn their way out of the Great Recession – or eager to rise above the deprivation of developing lands – unprecedented millions of people have enrolled in colleges and universities around the world in the past five years.

What they’re finding is an educational landscape turning upside down.

In the United States – where top schools have long championed a liberal style of learning and broad education before specialization – higher education’s focus is shifting to getting students that first job in a still-shaky economy. Tuition is so high and the lingering economic distress so great that an education not directly tied to an occupation is increasingly seen as a luxury.

Elsewhere in the world, there is a growing emphasis on broader learning as an economic necessity.

Advocates hear employers demanding the “soft skills” – communication, critical thinking, and working with diverse groups – that broad-based learning more effectively instills. They want to graduate job-creators, not just job-fillers.

They think the biggest innovations come from graduates who are well-rounded – from empathetic engineers, say, or tech-savvy anthropologists.

In Europe, where for centuries students have jumped straight into specialized fields and studied little else, recent changes have pushed back specialization, making more room for general education. In Africa and the Middle East, experiments are moving away from a relentlessly narrow education tradition. And on a much bigger scale, China is breaking down the rigid disciplinary walls that have long characterized its higher education system.

All of this is happening in the shadow of the Great Recession, which began in late 2007 with the near-collapse of

Steve Hawkins checks on a furnace May 22 at a Dokka Fasteners training program in Auburn Hills, Mich. In the United States, where top schools have long championed a liberal style of learning, higher education’s focus is shifting to getting students that first job in a still-shaky economy. Tuition is so high and the lingering economic distress so great that an education not directly tied to an occupation is increasingly seen as a luxury. the global financial system, depressing economies and employment worldwide.

Today, some countries are recovering, but all are coming to grips with a world altered by hard times.

Higher education is widely seen – both by nations and individuals – as the way to prosperity.

Over roughly the past half-decade, according to UNESCO, enrollment in colleges and universities rose one-third in China and almost two-thirds in Saudi Arabia, nearly doubled in Pakistan, tripled in Uganda, and surged by 3 million – 18 percent – in the United States. In 2001, global enrollment first passed 100 million; a decade later, the estimated figure was 182 million.

But what kind of education will best drive economic growth?

When foreign delegations visit

American campuses these days, they increasingly skip the usual research universities to scope out liberal arts colleges such as Amherst and Williams, says Patti McGill Peterson of the American Council on Education.

They’re seeking the “magic” that helped launch companies like Apple and Google. China, in particular, is recruiting disheartened American academics and putting them to work.

There’s “a weird symmetry” at work in the educational world, says Columbia University professor Andrew Delbanco, author of “College: What it Was, Is, and Should Be.” As people in the United States “talk less and less about the value of liberal education,” he says, “our so-called economic competitors talk about it more and more.”

An “Around the Community” item about the Sycamore Rotary Club’s meeting on page A11 of Monday’s Daily Chronicle contained the incorrect meeting place for the Sycamore Rotary Club’s noon Wednesday meeting.

The club has moved its meeting location to Blumen Gardens, 403 Edward St., Sycamore.

Dueling portraits of defendant emerges on day 1 in Florida shooting trial The ASSOCIATED PRESS SANFORD, Fla. – George Zimmerman was fed up with “punks” getting away with crime and shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin “because he wanted to,” not because he had to, prosecutors argued Monday, while the neighborhood watch volunteer’s attorney said the killing was self-defense against a young man who was slamming Zimmerman’s head against the pavement.

The prosecution began opening statements in the long-awaited murder trial with shocking language, repeating obscenities Zimmerman uttered while talking to a police dispatcher moments before the deadly confrontation.

Zimmerman, 29, could get life in prison if convicted of second-degree murder for gunning down Martin on Feb. 26, 2012, as the unarmed black teenager, wearing a hoodie on a dark,

rainy night, walked from a convenience store through the gated townhouse community where he was staying.

Prosecutor John Guy’s first words to the jury recounted what Zimmerman told a dispatcher in a call shortly after spotting Martin: “F------ punks.

These a-------. They always get away.”

Zimmerman didn’t have to shoot Martin, Guy said. “He shot him for the worst of all reasons: because he want-

ed to,” he said.

The prosecutor portrayed the watch captain as a vigilante, saying, “Zimmerman thought it was his right to rid his neighborhood of anyone who did not belong.”

West told jurors a different story: Martin sucker-punched Zimmerman and then pounded the neighborhood watch volunteer’s head against the concrete sidewalk, and that’s when Zimmerman opened fire.

Bruch named Rotarian of the Year Award honors service to local community

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com

Sally Bruch, 56, was chosen as the John W. Ovitz Rotarian of the Year by the Rotary Club of Sycamore on June 19 at the club’s annual Officers’ Installation Dinner in Sycamore Park, Sycamore.

DeKalb officer injured in drug arrest

By JILLIAN DUCHNOWSKI jduchnowski@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – A 29-year-old Chicago man accused of shoving a DeKalb police officer Saturday before he was found with about 1.5 ounces of marijuana remained in the DeKalb County jail Monday.

Johnathan Tyler, of the 10000 block of South Yates Boulevard, was charged with aggravated battery to a police officer, unlawful possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, unlawful possession of marijuana and aggravated resisting arrest. His bond was set at $35,000.

DeKalb police saw Tyler in an apartment complex parking lot in the 900 block of Ridge Drive about 7:30 p.m. Saturday, court records show. Tyler, who was wanted on an unrelated warrant, was standing at Johnathan the driver’s side Tyler door of a vehicle parked next to his car.

When police approached him, Tyler shoved an officer and ran, court records show.

The officer chased him and caught him in an adjacent field with $120 in cash clenched in his fist, more than $1,500 in cash on him and about an ounce of marijuana in a bag nearby, court records show.

In Tyler’s car, police found more than $2,500 in cash and about half an ounce of marijuana, court records show.

The police officer required medical treatment for a back injury he received when Tyler shoved him, DeKalb Police Cmdr. John Petragallo said.

A passenger in Tyler’s car, Laquesha Allen, 29, of Chicago, was charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana and unlawful transportation of alcohol, Petragallo said.

If convicted of the most serious charge he faces, aggravated battery, Tyler could be sentenced to up to seven years in prison. He is next due in court Thursday.

SYCAMORE – The thought of a young person going hungry makes Sally Bruch cringe.

Feeding children who are starving is a passion for Bruch, which is why she decided to join the Rotary Club of Sycamore in 2009. Bruch, a certified financial planner for Bruch Financial Advisors, LLC., said she also joined to give back to the community.

“I know that sounds kind of cliche, but the community has been very supportive of my business,” Bruch said.

The 56-year-old Kirkland resident became a secretary a year later and three years after that was named the John W. Ovitz Rotarian of the Year on June 19. The award came as surprise for Bruch, who said she hadn’t been in the club long enough to earn the honor.

“I felt like I was kind of too new,” Bruch said. “We have members in this club that have been here for more than 40 years.”

The John W. Ovitz Rotarian of the Year award is given to the recipient who exemplifies the motto of the club, which is service above self.

Brian Adams, sergeant-atarms and public image chairman for the club, said Bruch consistently went above and beyond the call to make sure the club ran smoothly.

“If you ever worked in any

organization, you need one person who can hold it together, and that is Sally,” Adams said.

The award recently was renamed after John Ovitz Jr., who was the longest-serving member of the club with 60 years of membership. He died in April.

Adams said Ovitz was a man who devoted his life to the community. His wife, Jane, presented the award to Bruch.

As secretary of the club, Bruch was in charge of keeping minutes of club and board meetings, registering new members and keeping track of attendance. Like other members, she would do things that wasn’t in her job description, including updating computer files.

“I don’t feel like I did that much over and above any-

body else,” Bruch said.

But Bruch said she was honored to be singled out from about 85 other club members. The club is friendly but only started accepting women during the 1980s.

“Women are a huge part of our group now,” Bruch said.

Some of the club’s projects include providing scholarships for Sycamore High School students. Both students and residents also have a chance to be recognized by the club monthly and have $100 donated to a charity of their choice.

The club also participates in international projects, such as setting up wells in Africa that produce clean, fresh water for people.

“It’s not only the community,” Bruch said. “[The Rotary Club] is making a difference in the world.”

Storms hit county hard; more expected today

By JILLIAN DUCHNOWSKI

On the Web

jduchnowski@shawmedia Thunderstorms could dump five inches of rain on DeKalb County today after a faster-moving storm downed trees and power lines Monday.

Somonauk Street at Chauncey Street was closed Monday evening as Sycamore public works crews removed a tree in the road there. Meanwhile, DeKalb fire crews were responding to trees and power lines that were knocked down across the city north of Route 38, DeKalb Fire Chief Eric Hicks said.

The southern part of the county, including Sandwich, experienced more serious damage, Northern Illinois

University Meteorologist Gilbert Sebenste said. Winds of 75 mph were reported at Route 47 and Interstate 88 in Kane County, and gusts of 65 mph were reported in Steward in Lee County, Sebenste said.

Southern DeKalb County was under a tornado warning between 5 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.

Monday.

About 3,700 customers lost power, with about 2,000 customers without power by 7:30 p.m. Monday, ComEd spokesman Paul Callighan said.

Most of them were south of Interstate 88.

Sebenste saw power lines and poles shake as the storm passed him while he was driving on Bethany Road just east of First Street in DeKalb.

“I was trying to outrun the storms in my car, and it overtook me,” Sebenste said.

“I saw small trees fall in front my car.”

The ground is saturated after more than 3 inches of rain fell over the weekend, so strong rain today could cause flash floods, Sebenste said.

“Our drought is over,” he said, laughing.

Guard shoots suspect in attempted robbery of Oak Brook jewelry store The ASSOCIATED PRESS OAK BROOK – Investigators searched Monday for two suspects in a brazen attempted robbery at a jewelry store in a crowded suburban Chicago mall, as a third suspect who was shot by a store guard lay in a hospital in critical condition, police said.

The man, a 24-year-old Detroit resident, was under police guard at the hospital.

Authorities have not identified him because he has not

been charged in the attempted robbery at the C.D. Peacock store in the Oak Brook Center on Sunday afternoon.

The man is expected to recover and investigators hoped to interview him Monday evening, Police Chief James Kruger said.

The store was crowded with about 10 customers and six employees when the three suspects walked into the store, Kruger said. Two of the men stayed by the door and the third pulled a 4-pound sledgehammer out from un-

der his shirt and smashed a glass display case containing expensive watches.

An armed security guard who works for the store said he “ordered them to stay down and put the hammer down,” Kruser said. But, he said, the men did not do as they were told and the guard shot the man with the sledge hammer once in the abdomen during a struggle.

Kruger said police have analyzed surveillance video and that is consistent with the guard’s account.

Council also voted to keep development consultant • COUNCIL Continued from page A1 “These are all budgeted numbers,” Naylor said.

“Why didn’t the discussion come up at budget time?”

The council voted 6-2 to keep mCapitol Management on board as its lobbying firm, but only after the council failed to reach a consensus on whether they should, in Jacobson’s words, “Hold off on the contract for a year.”

Lash, who also voted against rehiring mCapitol at

a cost of $66,000 a year, had more of a problem with the firm’s ability to get federal money in the current congressional environment.

“It’s a recognition of how difficult things are right now,” Lash said. “My concern, what are we getting for the money we put into this.”

The council also voted 5-3 to keep Roger Hopkins of Hopkins Solutions on as the city’s economic development consultant. Jacobson, Lash and Baker criticized Hopkins’ apparent lack of success in attracting new busi-

nesses, as well as relying on tax incentives to bring them in.

A number of city officials, including Espiritu, came to Hopkins’ defense, pointing out that he is following the council’s current policies.

“We are asking Roger to focus on retail and commercial. That is by design,” Espiritu said. “The incentives – this is why we have the discussions with the City Council – as the policies currently written, he’s following that policy. He’s doing what the policy entails.”

Quinn: Concealed carry getting close review The Associated Press ROSEMONT – Gov. Pat Quinn said Monday that he doesn’t feel pressure to act quickly on whether to sign a concealed carry bill, even as lawmakers from his own party have pleaded for him to hurry up before a court-ordered deadline next month.

Lawmakers sent the Chicago Democrat a bill outlining rules for who can carry after a federal appeals court ruled Illinois’ last-in-the-nation concealed carry ban unconstitutional. The state has until July 9 to come up with a plan. Quinn hasn’t indicated what he’ll do.

“That’s a very complex

bill. It’s a very long bill. I’m analyzing every single part of it. My mission is to protect the safety of people of Illinois, all 13 million people,” he told reporters Monday after an unrelated event. “Politicians can wait. I’ll have a decision within a very reasonable period of time.”

Last week, nearly two dozen Democratic senators asked Quinn to act quickly so they have time to deal with a veto or amendatory veto, saying the consequences could mean a “public safety and constitutional crisis.”

The lawmakers included Senate President John Cullerton. The letter didn’t advocate that Quinn sign or reject the

legislation. It did point out, though, that authorities in a dozen counties are already refusing to prosecute those who carry concealed weapons.

In the past, Quinn has advocated for allowing larger municipalities to adopt their own restrictions in the name of “local control.”

T h e p r o - Lisa Madigan posed legislation says any Illinois resident with a Firearm Owners’ Identification card can get a concealed carry permit after passing a background check, undergoing lengthy training and paying a fee. Law enforce-

ment agencies can object to an application by notifying a governor-appointed review board.

What happens if no law is enacted by July 9 has been debated.

Gun-rights advocates say allowing the deadline to pass with no law would mean any gun could be carried anywhere. Others insist it would allow local municipalities to adopt restrictive carry laws.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court has given state Attorney General Lisa Madigan until July 22 to decide if she wants to appeal the court order. The extension was granted last week, but Madigan hasn’t said what she plans to do.

Scrutiny up after 3rd Boeing 787 flight cut short

By DAVID KOENIG The Associated Press DALLAS – Mechanical glitches that caused three United Airlines flights to be cut short in the past week might have gotten little notice except for one detail: All the planes were Boeing 787s.

The 787, which Chicago-based Boeing calls the Dreamliner, faces more scrutiny than normal because it was grounded for three months by concern about overheating lithium-ion batteries.

Aviation experts say the three recent incidents with United planes didn’t appear to pose any threat to passenger safety. But, they say, the reputation of Boeing and its newest plane will suffer if glitches continue to pile up: • On Sunday, a United 787 flight from Houston to Denver returned to Houston shortly after takeoff because of what United called “a brake indicator issue.” Spokeswoman Jennifer Dohm said the plane,

A line of Boeing 787 Dreamliners waiting to be delivered are shown on a closed runway June 18 at Paine Field near Boeing’s assembly plant in Everett, Wash. with 219 passengers, made an emergency landing as a precaution. She said a maintenance team examined the plane, and it was returned to service.

• On Thursday, a United 787 carrying 218 passengers from London to Houston stopped in Newark, N.J., because an indicator showed low engine oil.

The Federal Aviation Administration said it was looking into the incident.

• On June 18, a United flight from Denver to Tokyo diverted to Seattle because

of what the airline called an oil filter issue. The airline put up about 200 passengers overnight in a hotel, then flew them to Tokyo the next day on another 787.

It’s not unusual for a new plane or model to suffer glitches. Some sound more ominous than others, such as when Airbus had to repair cracks on parts inside the wings of its huge A380 jets in 2011 and 2012.

With last week’s Dreamliner incidents, “We’re seeing a relatively small number of

relatively minor problems,” said Richard Aboulafia, an aviation analyst with the Teal Group. “This is similar to what we’ve seen with other new aircraft.”

John F. Thomas of L.E.K. Consulting said three aborted flights in six days could be partly coincidence and partly because of pilots being quick to land if anything on the 787 seems out of the ordinary.

“Because of what happened with the batteries, people would naturally be cautious,” he said.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported that 32-year-old Quintin Jackson allegedly threw the coffee at the driver and beat him at the Jefferson Park Blue Line terminal after accusing the driver of failing to stop the bus to let him on.

DECATUR – Archer Daniels Midland Co. said it is launching a tender offer to buy the rest of Australia’s GrainCorp, after other bidders failed to submit better offers.

ADM last month offered $12.63 a share in cash for the remaining 80 percent of GrainCorp Ltd. that it doesn’t already own, giving all of the Australian grain handler a value of 3.4 billion Australian dollars.

The agribusiness company based in Decatur said late Sunday that GrainCorp’s board has agreed to recommend the latest offer to shareholders for approval in the absence of a superior offer. Its two previous offers for GrainCorp had initially been rejected as too low.

Its offer is scheduled to close Aug. 31, unless extended, and is subject to conditions including regulatory approval.

Illinois, Indiana governors host expressway forum The proposed highway linking the two states has been discussed for decades, and both states agreed to move forward in 2010. The proposed route will go from Interstate 55 near Willington to Interstate 65 in Indiana. Land acquisition and construction could start in 2015, and construction for the project is expected to take about three years.

Gov. Pat Quinn and In-

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press ROSEMONT – Governors from Illinois and Indiana kicked off a two-day forum Monday in hopes of attracting potential contractors, laborers and investors for a planned 47-mile expressway aimed at relieving traffic congestion into the Chicago area and creating jobs.

diana Gov. Mike Pence both billed the so-called Illiana Expressway as a way to create jobs. Officials estimate the expressway will bring roughly 9,000 construction jobs and about 25,000 more permanent jobs.

“This is a vital link,” Quinn told the crowd. “It’s about logistics. It’s about distribution. It’s about covering the Heartland.”

Several hundred people, including officials with the Federal Highway Administration, attended. The event was scheduled to end this afternoon after presentations from transportation officials in both states and one-on-one meetings for the roughly $1.3 billion project. The governors said it’s also a way to stimulate economic growth.

“Our nation will not

achieve our full potential in the 21st century if we don’t relight the pilot light of the industrial Midwest,” Pence said. “... And the Illiana is central to putting the Midwest back at the very center of American prosperity.”

Supporters, including a truckers’ association, have said the route is needed to increase access to the region.

However, some opponents ar-

gue that the project will cut up farm land and affect wild life, among other things.

But Illinois Department of Transportation Secretary Ann Schneider said the project will only make improvements and include solutions for environmental issues. She said that up to 50 percent of the traffic on the expressway will be trucks, which will relieve congestion on local roads.

Ecuador is harboring WikiLeaks’ Assange THE COSENTINO LAW FIRM, LLC companies to steal all of your SMS data,” and is believed to have more than 200 additional sensitive documents.

Assange and attorneys for WikiLeaks assailed the U.S. as “bullying” foreign nations into refusing asylum to Snowden. WikiLeaks counsel Michael Ratner said Snowden is protected as a whistleblower by the same international treaties that the U.S. has in the past used to criticize policies in China and African nations.

The U.S. government’s dual lines of diplomacy with China and with Russia came days after Obama met separately with leaders of both countries in an effort to close gaps on some major disputes facing them. Additionally, State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said the U.S. has made demands to “a series of governments,” including Ecuador, that Snowden be barred from any international travel other than to be returned to the U.S. Ventrell did not know if that included Iceland. Icelan-

• NSA Continued from page A1 have dealt that effort a serious setback. ...This was a deliberate choice by the government to release a fugitive despite a valid arrest warrant, and that decision unquestionably has a negative impact on the U.S.-China relationship.”

Snowden has acknowledged revealing details of top-secret surveillance programs that sweep up millions of phone and Internet records daily. He is a former CIA employee who later was hired as a contractor through Booz Allen to be a computer systems analyst. In that job, he gained access to documents — many of which he has given to The Guardian and The Washington Post to expose what he contends are privacy violations by an authoritarian government.

Snowden also told the South China Morning Post that “the NSA does all kinds of things like hack Chinese cellphone

dic officials have confirmed receiving an informal request for asylum conveyed

by WikiLeaks, which has strong links to the tiny North Atlantic nation. But authorities there have insisted that Snowden must be on Icelandic soil before making a formal request.

Ecuador’s president and foreign minister declared that national sovereignty and universal principles of human rights would govern any decision they might make on granting asylum to Snowden.

Formally, Snowden’s application for Ecuadoran asylum remains only under consideration. But Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino made little effort to disguise his government’s position. He told reporters in Hanoi that the choice Ecuador faced in hosting Snowden was “betraying the citizens of the world or betraying certain powerful elites in a specific country.”

Patino said late Monday he did not know Snowden’s exact whereabouts.

Poppyseed Primitives moves shop to DeKalb

By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The outlook for Sandy Spier’s Poppyseed Primitives has just expanded – quite literally.

June 17 marked Spier’s first day in her new downtown DeKalb location at 223 E. Lincoln Highway. The 2,000-square-foot space is triple the size of her old Genoa location.

For the past seven years, Spier has been selling old and new items, each one with an earthy look to it.

“I think part of it is we like the history behind it,” said the shop owner. “We always

I think a lot of us pick primitives because they’re very welcoming. A customer described it when she walks in her house, it feels like somebody is hugging you.”

Spier said she used to be a merchandise dealer for Primitive Chic, the business that

used to occupy the storefront before the owners closed it and moved to Wisconsin.

“When she told me she was moving back to Wisconsin, it seemed like the right fit,” Spier said. “It gave me room to grow. And I live in DeKalb so it’s much closer to home. ... Once I found out I was going to sign the lease here, I started shopping.”

The move hasn’t deterred her Genoa-area regulars. Spier said she already has seen many of her old customers come to her store, as well as some new ones.

Because of the space, Spier said she can fully display her bed-linen set, as well as

include more antiques. She hopes to rotate some of her stock each week.

Spier said she will plan some sort of open house to celebrate the new location.

She added that she will dedicate her efforts solely on her new location. While she’ll look for new products, she said she’s going to hold off putting items available for sale on her website.

“I really just want to give 100 percent to this one location, and just keep it being the best we can be,” Spier said. “Last year I had dreams of doing online. Until I get on my feet here, I will not explore that.”

Insurance might not make you healthier Does having health insurance make people healthier? It’s widely assumed that it does.

Obamacare advocates repeatedly said that its expansion of Medicaid would save thousands of lives a year. Obamacare critics seldom challenged the idea that increased insurance coverage would improve at least some people’s health.

Now, out of Oregon, comes a study that casts doubt on the premise that insurance improves health.

In 2008, Oregon state government had enough Medicaid money to extend the program to 10,000 people, but many more were eligible. So the state set up a lottery to determine who would get coverage.

That created a randomized control trial, to compare the health outcomes of about 6,000 people who won the lottery with a similar number who lost.

RCTs are the best way to test the effects of public policies, as Jim Manzi argues in his recent book “Uncontrolled: The Surprising Payoff of Trial-and-Error for Business, Politics and Society.”

Other studies compare the effect of policies on populations that may differ in significant ways – apples and oranges.

RCTs compare apples and apples.

The only previous RCT on health care policies was conducted by the RAND Corporation between 1971 and 1982. It found no statistically significant difference in health outcomes from having more insurance. But health care has changed a lot since then.

The Oregon Health Study, published last month in the New England Journal of Medicine, found much the same thing.

Comparing three important measures – blood sugar levels, blood pressure and cholesterol levels – it found no significant difference after two years between those on Medicaid and those who were uninsured.

It did find lower levels of reported depression among the group on Medicaid.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the armistice ending the Korean War. With heightened tensions on that troubled peninsula this year, it’s important to remember the man who helped bring that peace about.

He was a warrior who hated war and fought valiantly for peace and justice throughout his eight years as president of the United States.

Dwight D. Eisenhower is chiefly remembered as a military man, a general, the Allied supreme commander in Europe during World War II and the architect of the D-Day invasion June 6, 1944.

His 1953-61 presidency, is largely remembered by much of the general public as uneventful. Eisenhower is viewed today as a president lacking the panache of Franklin Roosevelt, the bluntness of Harry Truman and the youthful charisma of John F. Kennedy. He is seen as a beneficiary, rather than catalyst, of the prosperity of the 1950s.

That view could not be more wrong.

Having emerged from the genocide of World War II, Eisenhower was determined to avoid a third world war and a nuclear holocaust.

Six months after taking office, he achieved peace with honor in Korea, securing the freedom of the South Korean people.

Eisenhower guided our country and the world through a confrontation with China over the islands of Quemoy and Matsu; through the Suez and Lebanon crises in the Middle East and the Hungarian revolt of 1956, which he supported but did not commit troops to, in order to avoid nuclear war with the Soviet Union. Still, he blocked Soviet expansion beyond its sphere of influence.

At home he sent federal troops into Little Rock, Ark., to ensure African-American students could enroll in a previously all-white public school there.

He can claim the St. Lawrence Seaway with Canada and the interstate highway system among the nation’s great public works projects.

Eisenhower’s 1961 farewell address was visionary. “In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex,” he said. “The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes.”

Those words continue to be relevant today.

Returning Motor City Urban America has a much-needed new truth-teller, and his name is Kevyn Orr. Orr is emergency manager for Detroit – a Democrat tasked by Michigan’s Republican governor, Rick Snyder, with arresting the financial death spiral in that state’s largest city. On June 14, Orr issued a 128-page report that cut through years of official obfuscation and delivered the grim facts about the city’s plight.

Drained of resources by unemployment, debt service, high public-employee benefit costs, a declining population and inefficient tax collection, among other ills, the once-proud Motor City is now quite simply “insolvent,” Orr affirmed.

This is an unspeakably sad situation for Detroit’s 700,000 remaining residents, only a third of whom have jobs. It’s a crisis rooted deep within the history of a city that, for many years, rose and fell economically with the auto industry – while poverty, racial segregation, crime and official corruption festered.

Wisely, Orr focused not on how Detroit got to this catastrophic crossroads but on where it goes from here. He leavened his dire picture of the present with a hopeful plan for the future. It calls for a 10-year, $1.25 billion investment in public services that would remake Detroit’s institutions, root and branch. The only way to finance this plan for rebirth is to seek concessions – deep concessions – from the public-employee unions and private investors that have claims on the city in the form of pensions and municipal bonds.

This is where the rest of the country acquires more than just a rooting interest in Orr’s plans. It matters not only whether he succeeds but also how. We refer to the possible default on some or all of Detroit’s $530 million in general-obligation debt, which Orr’s plan contemplates.

Backed by a jurisdiction’s “full faith and credit,” general-obligation bonds have been considered the least risky in the $3.7 trillion municipal bond market, upon which so many state and local governments rely.

As a result, general-obligation bonds enable cities and towns to borrow relatively cheaply. The Detroit precedent could undermine that, if it hasn’t already.

And when borrowing costs go up, so do taxes – or else services shrink.

The challenge for Orr, and the stakeholders with which he will negotiate, is to fix Detroit with minimal collateral damage. It’s actually in the Detroit parties’ self-interest to keep the rest of America in mind, since many of the same investors and public-employee unions also have stakes elsewhere. And let’s face it, both creditors and unions took advantage of the city’s profligacy, certainly more than most ordinary Detroiters did.

We, like the residents of other major U.S. cities, can feel Detroit’s pain. But in this case, empathy must be a two-way street.

STANLEY CUP FINAL GAME 6: HAWKS 3, BRUINS 2 (HAWKS WIN SERIES 4-2)

STANLEY CUP Hawks 4, Bruins 2 AP photo

Heat celebrate with parade through Miami MIAMI – The last piece of confetti had landed, the Miami Heat championship celebration was officially over and many in the crowd of revelers were starting to make their way to the exits.

Players and coaches remained on the stage.

They were in no hurry to leave. Every member of the NBA champions stood and watched a giant video board play highlights of Miami’s march through the playoffs, from LeBron James’ MVP-caliber plays on both ends to Ray Allen’s season-saving 3-pointer in Game 6 of the NBA Finals and countless moments in between.

With an estimated 400,000 people lining the downtown Miami streets, the Heat held their parade and an in-arena rally afterward Monday. James stood atop a double-decker bus with a cigar in his mouth for the parade. Shane Battier blew kisses to the crowd, Dwyane Wade raised three fingers aloft and Chris Andersen flapped his arms in a nod to his “Birdman” moniker.

Several players held super-soaker squirt guns and sprayed water on fans, confetti dotted the streets, and horns honked from all directions. Heat managing general partner Micky Arison and team president Pat Riley stood in the front of one bus, while Spoelstra – his championship cap turned backward – waved and clapped at fans.

The Associated Press BOSTON – An NHL-record unbeaten streak to start the lockout-shortened season.

Three straight victories to clinch the title.

From beginning to end, the Blackhawks skated away from the rest of the league.

Bryan Bickell and Dave Bolland scored 17 seconds apart in the final 1:16 and the Hawks staged a stunning rally to win Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final, 3-2, on Monday for their second championship in four seasons.

Jonathan Toews returned

from injury to add a goal, and Corey Crawford made 23 saves for the Hawks in the first final round between Original Six teams since 1979.

“I still can’t believe that finish,” Crawford said. “Oh my God, we never quit.”

Patrick Kane, whose overtime goal in Game 6 beat Philadelphia to win the 2010 championship, was voted the Conn Smythe Trophy winner as playoffs MVP. “It was the best year of my life, just playing with these AP photo guys,” Kane said.

Barbs focus on passing game in 7-on-7s

By LUKE SRODULSKI lsrodulski@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Generally, the triple option is looked upon as a run-dominant offense, and DeKalb will surely utilize their strength on the ground this year.

But when the Barbs hosted several teams for a 7-on-7 scrimmage Monday morning, the focus shifted to the passing game.

In coach Matt Weckler’s first season at the helm, he has wasted no

time implementing his new system, and without being allowed to run Monday, his team showed that it will not be one-dimensional.

“Offensively, we still have a passing game,” Weckler said. “Just because we have a triple option doesn’t mean that we don’t pass the ball. We still run all of our sets, all of our passing plays that we have, and try to gain a little bit more timing with the quarterbacks and receivers and halfbacks and go through all our motions and and learn more about our offense. It’s

kind of like a practice.”

The triple option is usually associated with the run, and DeKalb’s offense will certainly follow that trend.

Still, the team must be able to move the ball through the air in order to keep defenses honest.

Weckler says that shouldn’t be an issue. Although the formations are designed for the run, they still give senior quarterback Jack Sauter plenty of passing options.

Cogs look to make offense versatile during summer

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Griffin McNeal remembers teams constantly stacking the box against Genoa-Kingston last season.

The Cogs run the Wing T and teams often bring an extra defender toward the line of scrimmage, but this year, McNeal feels G-K is versatile enough to where they won’t have to worry about seeing eight or nine guys in the box.

Throughout the Cogs’ three 7-on-7 competitions this year – G-K competed at DeKalb on Monday – McNeal Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com and G-K coach Travis FredGenoa-Kingston quarterback Griffin McNeal fakes a hand-off Monday erick have seen the Cogs’ versatility in action, with during a 7-on-7 game against DeKalb in DeKalb.

players like McNeal, who started two games at quarterback last season, RB/WR Jesse Zade and senior running back Sal Lopez to name a few.

One reason G-K has more skill-position players is because the Cogs’ roster numbers are up. Two years ago, Frederick said he had just 17 players in his first season as the team’s coach. Last year it was around 20.

This year, he hopes to have 35 varsity players, at the very least 30.

“It’s not like we’ve got elite speed by any means,” Frederick said. “We’re just faster because we haven’t had a lot of skill kids. “... When you get more

bodies that can do things like play receiver or running back, it makes you play more flexible. We get into these 7-on-7s, we’re able to see kids doing different things. We’re just trying to find our new identity in a way. Now at times, [opponents] will have to loosen up on us a little bit.”

As a quarterback, McNeal wants to work on things like timing and footwork when he goes to a 7-on-7.

This season, McNeal expects the Cogs’ passing game to work out better with more of an influx of players at the skill spots.

Youel closes in on U.S. Open berth

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com Nelle Youel won’t allow herself to think about earning a berth in the U.S. Open.

Not yet at least.

But the former Crystal Lake Central tennis player is a step closer to qualifying for the prestigious event. Youel knocked off Wake Forest’s Kasey Gardiner in straight sets Monday at the U.S. Open National Playoffs Midwest Sectional at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason, Ohio.

Youel, who plays at Northern Illinois, will face Syracuse’s Maddie Kobelt in today’s championship final.

The winners of the 13 sectional events advance to the U.S. Open National Playoffs. “[The U.S. Open] kind of seems so far in the distance,” Youel said. “It’s still really cool to be here and to be winning some matches. I just want to take another step [today].”

Youel became the first NIU player in 11 years to earn All-Mid-American Conference first team honors after a year when she set a new school record for single-season victories.

Youel, a sophomore at NIU, played No. 1 singles and doubles for the Huskies and finished the season with 50 victories.

Youel was 27-5 in singles play and 23-7 in doubles play.

Youel earned MAC Player of the Week honors three times this season. Youel said her strategy for advancing to Tuesday’s championship match was simple.

“Going in, I told myself to expect it to be a long day because [Gardiner] a great player,” Youel said. “I stuck to my game plan to not give her any easy points and try to wear her down, and that’s what I did.”

Williams dusting off his glove

“It bit pretty hard,” Williams said. “That’s for sure.”

In February, the Geneva graduate had preliminary conversations with members of the NIU football and baseball coaching staffs about playing baseball in addition to football, and that is Williams’ plan as he gears up for the 2013-14 school year.

Williams acknowledged being “so nervous” about

broaching the subject – attempting to play two sports in Division I is generally discouraged by coaches – but it turned out that Huskies football coach Rod Carey and his coaching staff were open-minded.

“There were all cool about it.” Williams said. “They were like ‘You want to play [baseball], go play. Football comes first, but if you’re still working out every day and doing what you need to do, more power to you.’ ” Williams is in the midst of chipping away at more than a year’s worth of baseball rust, playing in limited duty this summer for St. Charles American Legion Post 342. Because of legion rules regarding college players that did not play for the team last season, Williams is not eligible to play in league games or in the postseason state tournament, but

he is participating in some weekend events.

Longtime Post 342 coach Dale Wilderspin raved about Williams’ play, and compared him athletically to former St. Charles East star Adam Milauskas, who went on to play professionally in the Pittsburgh Pirates’ organization in the early 2000s.

“This is the third weekend now he’s played with us in invitational tournaments and he had a great weekend,” Wilderspin said of Williams’ showing last weekend at an event in Barrington. “I don’t know if he made more than two outs in four games, so he’s hitting the ball hard. There are still some things he can correct and he knows that, but overall he’s a great athlete.”

Williams was a decorated baseball and football standout at Geneva, making a substantial varsity impact as an un-

derclassman in both sports.

He batted .392, drove in 49 runs and had six saves with a 0.68 ERA as the Vikings’ closer as a senior when he wasn’t playing a sparkling center field.

It’s premature to know what his role will be with the Huskies’ baseball team, but at least there is precedent for the baseball-football double-dip on NIU’s campus. Recent NIU graduate Jamison Wells also played both sports for the Huskies.

Williams isn’t sweating the effect playing two sports collegiately could have on him academically.

“In high school, I always did worse [academically] when I wasn’t playing a sport in the winter,” Williams said.

“Baseball and football keep me on track with where I need to be with school, so I think that will help me a lot.”

8SPORTS SHORTS Softball league continues play despite wet weather Despite the rain, the DeKalb/ Sycamore Church Softball League continued play last weekend.

Bethel Assembly dominated Evangelical Free, 21-9, while Christ Community II edged Harvest Bible Chapel, 15-14.

DeKalb Methodist fell to Sycamore Methodist, 15-5, and Sycamore 1st Baptist shut out DeKalb 1st Lutheran, 15-0.

Two runs in the seventh helped give Westminster Presbyterian a 5-4 victory over Immanuel Lutheran and Hope Community did just enough to defeat Sycamore St. Mary, 6-4. Jake Gordon, Travis Neidel and Blaize Diaz each had doubles in the win.

NCAA expands replay use in college basketball INDIANAPOLIS – An NCAA panel voted Monday to expand the use of replay review in college basketball, and instituted the 10-second backcourt rule for the women’s game.

The Playing Rules Oversight Panel also approved a tweak to the charging-blocking foul in the men’s game and gave referees leeway when it comes to penalties for accidentally elbowing an opponent above the shoulders.

The approved changes from the panel’s conference call are effective immediately.

Malibu fight involving Pippen investigated MALIBU, Calif. – Former Bulls star Scottie Pippen was questioned Monday about his weekend fight with an autograph-seeker that left the man hospitalized with a head injury.

Pippen came in voluntarily to a Los Angeles County sheriff’s substation after he was named as a suspect in the altercation outside Nobu restaurant, a celebrity hangout on the beach in Malibu. He spoke to police for about an hour and was released pending further investigation.

Sycamore wide receiver Ben Niemann (8) received a scholarship offer to Iowa after competing in a camp at Iowa City. The senior verbally committed to Northern Illinois, where his father Jay is the team’s defensive coordinator.

Niemann receives offer from Iowa

By LUKE SRODULSKI lsrodulski@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – More than eight months ago, Sycamore senior wide receiver Ben Niemann committed to Northern Illinois.

Although he has stayed faithful to his pledge since then, a recent offer from Iowa may have him thinking twice.

Niemann was on campus in Iowa City for a camp because his father, NIU defensive coordinator Jay Niemann, is friends with the head of Io-

Cogs hope to be two-dimensional • COGS Continued from page B1 “We were criticized last year, being one-dimensional. Teams would even at times have eight, nine guys in the box,” McNeal said.

“Teams won’t be able to do that this year. We can be more two-dimensional this year and be able to throw the ball a lot more.”

In the Big Northern East, where G-K has the third-smallest enrollment (621), the numbers alone certainly provide a boost.

Frederick would always like to see more bodies at 7-on-7s, but McNeal has noticed a bump up from last summer.

“Last year, I know I always had to come up and play with them because they had nine, 10 guys there, even less than that sometimes,” said McNeal, who started with the sophomore team last year before moving up to the varsity.

“We’re more involved this year, I think that’s going to help us out a lot.”

wa’s defense, Phil Parker. After seeing him play, Hawkeye coach Kirk Ferentz extended a scholarship offer to the 2014 prospect.

“It was my first BCS offer, so I was really excited,” Niemann said. “It’s a great feeling.”

Niemann said Iowa is recruiting him as an outside linebacker rather than a wide receiver. They see him putting on more weight to go along with his speed and quickness.

Despite his verbal commitment, Niemann feels this is an offer he has to consider. Even

though his father is on the Huskies’ staff, he responded as a parent would.

“He was excited for me,” Niemann said. “With him being at NIU, it’s kind of an interesting situation, but he was excited, and it’s something we’re just going to have to sit down and talk about.”

Niemann has also spoken with NIU coach Rod Carey, with whom he says he has a great relationship. Niemann told the Daily Chronicle that Carey was also happy for him and said he only wants what’s

best for him.

So far, Niemann has not scheduled another visit to Iowa City. He’ll take the offer into consideration, but at this point, he says he is still true to the commitment he made in early October. “[Iowa is] a BCS school and a great program, so I’m going to take it into consideration, but I’m committed to NIU right now,” Niemann said. “I’ve felt strongly about NIU the whole time since I committed, or else I wouldn’t have done it in the first place.”

Barbs’ summer focus not on wins, loses • BARBS Continued from page B1 “We run double slot all the time,” Weckler said. “That’s our base formation. So basically, it’s a four-receiver set anyway, so when we’re doing the 7-on-7, it’s just like running the spread. The only thing is that we have the option to run the triple option out of it.”

Monday’s scrimmage was cut short, as two teams failed to show up because of the weather, but the Barbs still had time for plenty of reps. At this point, Weckler said it is just a learning process, and the focus isn’t on wins and losses.

That being said, the morning provided plenty of indications of improvements that need to be made. When asked what area needed the most attention, Sauter didn’t hesitate in his answer.

“Definitely discipline,” he said. “Coach Weckler doesn’t have much tolerance for standing around or being lackadaisical. Especially during practice, it’s a pretty good tempo, pretty fast-paced, and he doesn’t tolerate a whole lot of mistakes.

So, we’ll be a whole lot more

“Coach Weckler doesn’t have much tolerance for standing around or being lackadaisical. Especially during practice, it’s a pretty good tempo, pretty fastpaced, and he doesn’t tolerate a whole lot of mistakes.”

Jack Sauter, DeKalb senior quarterback disciplined this year.”

Even though the season is a long way away, Weckler said that every day is important.

He is looking for the 22 players who are the best at each position, so scrimmages like these are about rotating players to find what fits.

Sauter was happy with what he saw. Several players were missing and a few left with injuries, leaving room for younger players to get a chance, and the quarterback liked how his teammates responded.

“I liked how guys adapted,” Sauter said. “We had a couple new guys come in on both offense and defense, and they came in and produced. Especially if you haven’t played a whole lot on the varsity level, 7-on-7 is still a whole different ballgame, a lot faster, and guys really came in and competed

and played well.”

When a new system is introduced, it takes time for players to become comfortable with it.

That’s why days like Monday are crucial, because it gives the DeKalb players the opportunity to become more experienced in the triple option.

Although the process can be frustrating, Weckler says that he can see his team getting better. Sauter says he likes the system as well, and he’s optimistic about the upcoming season.

“I love it so far, and I think the rest of the team does, too,” Sauter said. “It’s real versatile, and I don’t see us being a one-dimensional team. We’ll be able to run and pass, even though this is a run-dominant offense. With all our athletes, we’re really going to be able to utilize our talent this year.”

Rafael Nadal reacts Monday after losing a point to Steve Darcis during a Wimbledon first-round match at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships in London.

WIMBLEDON

135th-ranked player beats Nadal in opener

By STEPHEN WILSON The Associated Press LONDON – For the second straight year, Rafael Nadal is leaving Wimbledon early after a stunning loss to a little-known player ranked in the hundreds.

In one of the tournament’s greatest upsets, an ailing Nadal was knocked out in straight sets Monday by 135th-ranked Steve Darcis – the Spaniard’s first loss in the opening round of any Grand Slam event.

The free-swinging Darcis defeated the two-time champion, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (8), 6-4, on Court 1, ending Nadal’s 22-match winning streak and eliminating one of the Big Four of men’s tennis on the very first day of the grass-court Grand Slam.

After serving an ace down the middle on match point, Darcis conceded he was as surprised as everyone.

“Nobody was expecting me to win,” he said. “So I had to play a good match, relax, and enjoy the game. That’s what I did.”

There were no surprises for the other big names: Defending champion Roger Federer, bidding for a record eighth Wimbledon title, and second-seeded Andy Murray both won in straight sets on Centre Court.

Nadal was sidelined for seven months with a left knee injury after losing in the second round of Wimbledon last year.

He seemed to be struggling physically Monday. He was unable to turn on the speed or use his legs to spring into his groundstrokes, limping and failing to run for some shots.

Nadal declined to blame any injury and gave full credit to the 29-year-old Darcis, who had never beaten a top-5 player before and has yet to go beyond the third round of any Grand Slam.

“I don’t ... talk about my knee this afternoon,” Nadal said. “Only thing that can say

today is congratulate Steve Darcis. He played a fantastic match. Everything that I will say today about my knee is an excuse, and I don’t like to put any excuse when I’m losing a match like I lost today.”

Darcis, who had won only one previous match at Wimbledon, played the match of his life Monday, going for his shots and moving Nadal from corner to corner. Darcis amassed a total of 53 winners, compared with 32 for Nadal.

“Of course, Rafa didn’t play his best tennis,” Darcis said. “I could see it. So I took advantage of it, tried to fight. Maybe he was not in the best shape ever. Maybe he didn’t play his best match. But I have to be proud of me, I think.”

Darcis said he didn’t know whether Nadal was injured, or was just troubled by the grass conditions.

“Not the day to talk about these kind of things,” Nadal said. “I am confident that I will have a good recovery and be ready for the next tournaments.”

Darcis finished the match in style, serving his 13th ace as Nadal failed to chase the ball.

Darcis is the lowest ranked player to beat Nadal at any tournament since Joachim Johansson – ranked No. 690 – defeated the Spaniard in 2006 in Stockholm. Gustavo Kuerten, in 1997, was the last reigning French Open champion to lose in the first round at Wimbledon.

Nadal was coming off his eighth championship at the French Open this month. But on this day he never looked like the player who has won 12 Grand Slam titles and established himself as one of the greatest players of his generation.

Last year, Nadal was ousted in the second round by 100thranked Lukas Rosol, a match that finished under the closed roof of Centre Court.

BOSTON – Lord Stanley’s Cup was in the building.

Jonathan Toews was determined to be on the ice.

Two days after suffering an upper-body injury that caused him to miss the third period of Game 5 against the Boston Bruins, the Blackhawks’ captain rejoined the top line Monday alongside Patrick Kane and Bryan Bickell. Toews said he was fully healthy but declined to discuss specifics about his injury.

“It was a couple hits that I took that I guess the coaches thought I wasn’t ready to play in the third period,” Toews said after participating with his teammates in Monday’s morning skate at TD Garden.

“Obviously, you always want to bounce back.

“It is a physical game.

There are no worries there.

The coaches were confident we could win the game while making sure I wasn’t risking anything. I feel 100 percent, and the coaches are aware of that.”

Toews, who has a history of concussions, left Game 5 shortly after he was leveled on a high, hard hit by Bruins forward Johnny Boychuk near the net. Toews played several shifts after the hit by Boychuk, who was not penalized on the play and avoided a fine or suspension from the league.

Teammates said they never doubted Toews would play in Game 6.

“Deep down, I knew he’d play,” Hawks forward Andrew Shaw said before the game. “He’s a great player.

He’s a great competitor. He’s a huge leader.”

Shaw said plenty of Hawks players battled through injuries as they approached their ultimate goal. Hours later,

Shaw took a puck off the face and stayed down on the ice, where he left a pool of blood as he got to his feet and slowly skated to the bench.

“I think anyone would [do] the same – a chance to win the Cup,” Shaw said. “Obviously, there’s got to be a lot of things wrong with you if you don’t want to play in that game.”

Deep breath: Hawks rookie Brandon Saad tried to harness his nervous energy Monday morning while he considered the fact that the Stanley Cup would be in TD Garden for Game 6.

“It’s exciting,” said Saad, who will not turn 21 years old until October. “A little bit nerve wracking. But talking to some of the guys helped calm me, and we’re all looking forward to getting it going.”

Saad is not alone. Even some of the oldest Hawks players battle jitters.

Thirty-six-year-old center Michal Handzus said nerves

“But it’s still the game.

You always go back to when you started playing when you were young. Just have fun.

Enjoy being with your teammates. Enjoy the moment.”

Good talk: The Hawks gathered for a team meeting Sunday night to prepare for Game 6.

Although the message was simple – stay focused, be confident – it helped some of the players who were not a part of the Hawks’ championship run in 2010.

“Those guys said just play the game,” Frolik said. “Do the same thing like you did before. Play with confidence, and don’t be scared. Just play the game.”

Hawks win 2nd Cup since 2010 • HAWKS Continued from page B1 Toews scored his third goal of the playoffs to tie it for the Hawks at 4:24 of the second of Game 6 – exactly two minutes after teammate Andrew Shaw was penalized for roughing.

“In 2010, we didn’t really know what we were doing,” Toews said. “We just, we played great hockey and we were kind of oblivious to how good we were playing.

“This time around, we know definitely how much work it takes and how much sacrifice it takes to get back here and this is an unbelievable group. We’ve been through a lot together this year and this is a sweet way to finish it off.”

Boston, needing a win to extend the series to a deciding Game 7, came out aggressively and led 1-0 after one period on Chris Kelly’s second goal of the playoffs. The Bruins outshot the Hawks, 12-6, in the first period but the margin dropped to 18-15 through 40 minutes.

Each team got one of its best players back when Toews and Boston alternate captain Patrice Bergeron returned to the lineup after leaving the Hawks’ 3-1 win with injuries Saturday.

Toews scored when he got past Boston defenseman Zdeno Chara along the boards in the neutral zone. The Hawks’ captain skated up the right side and fired a hard shot from the right faceoff dot that beat goalie Tuukka Rask between his pads.

It was Toews’ second goal in three games. Of the Hawks’ last 10 goals, Chara was on the ice for nine.

Boston right wing Jaromir Jagr was shaken up in the first period. He returned for the second but left the bench, and Tyler Seguin replaced him on the second line with left wing Brad Marchand and center Bergeron.

The play that led to Kelly’s goal began after a faceoff that rookie defenseman Torey Krug rushed in to tip toward a teammate. The puck went to Daniel Paille, standing about 40 feet on the left. He passed to Seguin, who caught the puck with his right glove in the slot and dropped it.

Clock ticking on Hamlin’s chances

SPRINT CUP SERIES Quaker State 400 Race time: 6:30 p.m. Sunday Site: Kentucky Speedway, Sparta, Ky. TV: TNT

SONOMA, Calif. – Denny Hamlin closed in on a slower car at Sonoma Raceway, changed lanes to make the pass and was instead slammed into from behind – contact that sent him spinning off the course.

“Who am I wrecking?”

Hamlin asked on his radio to identify which driver had retaliation coming to him.

Told the culprit was good friend Tony Stewart, Hamlin quietly went about his day.

It ended with a frustrating 23rd-place finish Sunday and another setback in what he had hoped would be a furious charge into the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

With 10 races remaining to set the field, Hamlin is 25th in the standings and winless.

He’s in a frantic race to crack the top 20 – he’s currently 83 points out – and lock up some race wins that would make him eligible to claim a wild-card berth into the Chase. It was the goal he set for himself when he was sidelined four races with a compression fracture in his back; when he returned to full-time competition, Hamlin seemed to be a man on a mission.

Hamlin has never missed the Chase in his Cup career, and he had no intention of allowing his injury to be an excuse to come up short this year.

His return race at Darlington was an impressive runner-up finish to Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Matt Kenseth, and he followed it by finishing fourth at Charlotte.

Then the air began to leak out of his comeback tour with a 34th-place finish at Dover, a 30th at Michigan and then Sunday’s frustrating day.

Those Chase chances now?

“I’d have to have a lot of stuff go my way, that’s for sure,” he said. “We’re not

Denny Hamlin sits in his car as he prepares for practice May 3 at the Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega, Ala. keeps me from performing better,” he insisted. “Missed the setup a couple weeks and had bad stuff happen. It’s just frustrating – can’t get a finish.”

When asked if he’s still considering getting out of the car this year, Hamlin said it’s too soon.

“Not until it absolutely can’t happen, or even think about it,” he said. “Really, like I said, my physical status is not keeping me from performing well. It’s other things at this point.”

Those other things are that Hamlin doesn’t believe his Toyota is at the same performance level as JGR teammates Kenseth and Kyle Busch. In the six races he’s been back, Kenseth has a win and Busch has four top-six finishes. While Hamlin was on the same pace as his teammates when he first returned, he believes he’s taken a step back in the last few weeks.

“They’re performing better than us, that’s for sure,” he said. “Honestly, that’s the benchmark we need to set ourselves at – our teammates. We should be able to run with them. We’ve been at the tail end of the trio for the

gaining anything to 20th. We need a lot of help and a lot of stuff to go our way, honestly.”

Hamlin then talked about his “wheelhouse” portion of the schedule coming up – the fast, slick tracks where he typically excels and could make some noise again in his championship bid.

Only problem? “We’re not running that strong, we’re not running as strong as the Chase guys right now,” he said. “You have to earn it.

You can’t just expect other guys to make mistakes.”

And that’s the problem right now with the No. 11 car, Hamlin said, and not the fractured vertebra that kept him out of the car and put him in this hole.

It’s an important distinction because, when Hamlin was healing, he said if he couldn’t save the season he’d consider pulling the plug and focus on getting his back 100 percent healthy. That could involve surgery, or rehabilitation, but it was an option he tossed out there.

He was quick Sunday to dismiss his back injury as the performance problem.

“I feel fine. There’s nothing that I feel in the car that

past couple of weeks.

“But, you could argue for the first three weeks we were back, we were the best car.

It’s circumstantial, you get all emotional over a couple bad weeks.”

So Hamlin indeed has his work cut out for him at those “wheelhouse” tracks, beginning Saturday night at Kentucky, where he finished third last season. Then it’s off to Daytona, where anything can happen, but Hamlin is usually in the lead pack of cars and in the mix for the win. Then it’s New Hampshire, where he’s a two-time winner and has 10 top-10 finishes, and Indianapolis, where he started from the pole and finished sixth last year.

He’ll head into this critical stretch of the season with the same game plan he’s had since his return.

“I don’t think my strategy changes at all,” he said. “I think I continue to try to win every week and do all I can, just trying to get a good finish at this point.”

ADVICE & PUZZLES

Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

Tuesday, June 25, 2013 • Page B5

Fear of losing beloved pet keeps man awake Dear Abby: I have written to you before, and your advice served me well. I have another problem now, and I don’t know what to do about it.

I am a childless man, but I have owned my dog for 12 years. I work from home and we are together constantly.

Honestly, Abby, he is the joy of my life.

My problem is I live in constant fear of losing him. I know it will break my heart, and I’m not sure I can deal with it. At night, when I rub his belly at bedtime and see the love in his eyes, I can’t sleep for thinking about the day when he will no longer be with me.

I know he’s “just a dog,” but he has been my kid for all this time. Do you have any advice for me? – Afraid Of The Loss Dear Afraid: I understand your feelings. I doubt there is

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips any pet owner who hasn’t had one special departed pet who lives on forever in his or her heart.

My advice to you is to not spoil one more precious second you have with your dog by worrying about what will eventually happen. You knew going in that your dog would have a certain life span.

That’s the “deal” we make when we become animal guardians.

When the time comes, talk to your veterinarian about support groups in which you can share your feelings. And don’t be surprised when you find out you are one of many.

Dear Abby: I have this co-worker, “Sam,” who is no

longer performing 100 percent at work. It started shortly after he moved out of town and he was forced to start commuting. Sam complains a lot about the commute because he doesn’t allow enough time for it and he ends up being late to work.

Lately I have noticed that he has also started to slack off on his daily tasks.

He’ll sit down, prepare to do something, then get up and disappear for 20 to 25 minutes. He’ll come back for a few minutes, then disappear again. I don’t know where he’s going. All I know is we generally have to pick up the slack when he gets to the end of his shift and realizes he hasn’t accomplished everything.

Is this something I should report to my managers? I feel it’s unfair that Sam gets paid for the same amount of time that I do, while I’m doing

my work at full capacity and he’s putting in less than half.

– Frustrated Co-Worker In Illinois Dear Frustrated: If it won’t have a negative impact on your job ratings, you and the others on your shift should stop picking up the slack for Sam. It will then become apparent to your managers that he’s not doing his share, and he will cook his own goose.

Dear Abby: When I was 11, I lived with my dad and stepmom. My 14-year-old brother lived with our grandparents in another town, but they would visit every couple of months.

After one visit, as they were leaving, my grandmother said, “Come here and give your brother a kiss and tell him you love him.” My brother and I looked at each other and, in typical kid fashion, said, “YUCK!!”

Abby, I never saw my brother again. He died the next week from a congenital brain aneurism.

It taught me a lesson. The words we say to our loved ones should be sweet, because they may be the last words from us they will ever hear.

My brother died 55 years ago and I miss him still. – Still Missing Him Dear Still Missing Him: Please accept my sympathy for your loss. The life lesson you learned from your brother’s untimely death was an important one. I am sorry it is one you had to learn at such a tender age.

Treatment is a possibility for Parkinson’s Dear Dr. K: My husband was just diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Can you discuss it in your column? I don’t know anything about it.

Dear Reader: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a disease of the central nervous system.

It causes problems with body motions and movement. PD worsens over time.

Brain cells “talk” to each other by making and releasing chemicals called neurotransmitters. When one cell releases a neurotransmitter, another picks up the signal.

One type of neurotransmitter is dopamine.

Dopamine is made in an area deep in the brain called the basal ganglia. That is also where movements are coordinated. The dopamine made by cells in the basal ganglia is

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff necessary for the basal ganglia to function properly.

PD develops when dopamine-producing nerve cells (neurons) in the brain die and not enough dopamine is produced. This affects movement. (I’ve put an illustration of this process on my website.)

PD usually begins as a slight tremor or stiffness that is most obvious at rest. When the hands of a PD sufferer are resting in his lap, they may tremble. But when he reaches for a cup of coffee, for instance, his hands may stop trembling.

As the illness worsens, tremors become more widespread. PD also causes rigidity and a slowing of body movements. A person’s face slowly becomes expressionless. Initiating a movement, like sitting up from a chair, may take many seconds to start. A person walks slowly, with short, quick steps.

If your husband’s PD gets much worse, he will likely have difficulty walking and performing daily activities such as dressing or using utensils. But in some people PD progresses very slowly.

There is no cure for PD, but symptoms can be treated with medications. Medication may not be necessary at first.

Treatment usually begins when symptoms interfere with work or home life, or

when it becomes difficult to walk or maintain balance.

Medications used to treat PD either boost levels of dopamine in the brain or mimic the effects of dopamine. The most commonly used medication is levodopa. It is usually prescribed in combination with another drug called carbidopa. Other medications can also be used, either alone or in combination with levodopa.

Nearly all patients improve after they start taking levodopa. But long-term use often causes side effects and complications.

Depression is fairly common in people with PD. Antidepressant medications can help. Regular exercise and a balanced diet also may help to improve a patient’s sense of

well-being and body control.

The type of exercise called tai chi has been shown to help.

Surgery is considered only when medications are no longer effective. Surgical options include deep brain stimulation in which electrical stimulation is delivered to targeted areas of the brain to control symptoms. Another option involves destroying precisely targeted areas of the brain that are responsible for the most troubling symptoms.

We can do a great deal more to help people with PD today than when I was in medical school. Based on the progress of research, I expect more effective treatments in the future.

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association

TODAY – A number of beneficial social changes could be in the offing in the year ahead. Some new acquaintances could be very helpful in opening up commercial avenues for you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Be alert for some material opportunities since you could gain from a situation initiated by another. Be prepared for more than one surprise.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Upon first hearing, some of your mate’s ideas might sound outlandish, but after careful evaluation, you might judge them to be much more clever than you thought. Don’t make any hasty judgments.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – This is a good day to try out a new method or system you’ve been contemplating for some time.

Just don’t put any limitations your thinking.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Strive to fulfill your social obligations, especially if they could lead you to some new people.

There are indications that you could meet someone very interesting.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – A situation of some importance that hasn’t been going your way recently could take a turn for the better. The results you envisioned could be forthcoming.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – There could be good reason why someone has been lingering in your thoughts. Get in touch with him or her because some pleasant developments could occur.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You could be in a fortunate cycle where your finances and material interests are concerned.

A number of opportunities are likely to present themselves in rapid fashion.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You’re a quick thinker, and your spontaneous notions are likely to be very good. Be prepared to act promptly on your inspirations.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – There’s a good chance that you could reap some rewards from a past good deed. This remuneration may come about from someone other than the person you helped.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – One of your greatest successes is likely to come from a venture that you only recently became interested in. In your case, new will be better.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Initially, you could be unsure when you find yourself challenged by a unique development.

However, you’ll thrive under the difficult circumstances.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Things in general should go much more smoothly for you than of late, owing to a constructive change of attitude. You’ll now be able to see positive possibilities where you before saw only negative outcomes.

– I’m a very wise, mature teenager right now! Please give me your opinion. If you agree with me, I’ll show your answer to my parents. If you disagree, I’ll burn your column. – Lisa, Tulsa, Okla.

Lisa: I surely don’t want you to burn my column, but that’s not the reason why I’m agreeing with you.

weeks shy of their 16th birthday should be given permission to start dating.

Dr. Wallace: I don’t smoke tobacco cigarettes, but I have smoked dried corn silk. The silk on corn is dried in the sun and then rolled in cigarette paper. It takes about a week for the corn silk to be ready for smoking. I’ve only smoked a couple of tobacco cigarettes and I can tell you that corn silk has more of a bite, without all the bad stuff

that’s in tobacco. Is there any danger in smoking corn silk?

It’s sure a lot cheaper than tobacco! – Mike, Des Moines, Iowa Mike: All inhaled smoke, whatever the source, contains toxic chemicals that are harmful to lung tissue. The lungs are delicate organs. My advice is to lay off the corn silk and enjoy a long, smoke-free life.

8CROSSWORD

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

Another combination worth points Denis Diderot, an 18th-century French art critic, philosopher and writer, said, “There are three principal means of acquiring knowledge: observation of nature, reflection and experimentation. Observation collects facts; reflection combines them; experimentation verifies the result of that combination.”

At the bridge table, declarer, after observing the dummy, collects facts – winners and losers – and reflects by combining them. Then he tries to find the best line of play without experimentation.

In today’s deal, how should South play in six no-trump after West leads the club jack?

As soon as North opened the bidding, South knew it was either a six or seven deal.

But he started quietly with a two-diamond response.

However, when North raised diamonds, South launched Blackwood to learn that the diamond king was missing.

South can afford one diamond loser, not two. If the suit is splitting 2-1, there are no problems. So declarer should assume a 3-0 break.

If South first cashes his ace, he loses two tricks when West discards. Similarly, if declarer starts by calling for dummy’s queen, he fails when East has the void. The guaranteed line is to take the first trick on the board and play the diamond three. If East pitches, South wins with his ace and leads back toward dummy’s queen. But when East plays the two, declarer covers with his four! Here, that wins the trick and the contract is safe. But if West takes the trick, the suit must be 2-1.
