State pols want new voice on board Franks, Duffy urge County Board to replace Jourdan on transportation panel

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com The controversial severance package given to Metra’s ousted executive director has prompted two lawmakers to urge the McHenry County Board not to reappoint former GOP power broker Al Jourdan to the Regional Transporta-

tion Authority Board.

Democratic state Rep. Jack Franks and Republican state Sen. Dan Duffy urged the County Board in a Monday news release to choose someone “independent and reform-minded” instead of Jourdan.

The County Board had been scheduled to vote Tuesday to re-

appoint Jourdan, but the vote will be postponed for reasons County Board Chairwoman Tina Hill said are unrelated.

Jourdan, who spent 30 years as the McHenry County Republican Party chairman and about three years as state chairman, has been the county’s RTA representative since 2008.

Franks, a longtime critic of how Chicago-area mass transit agencies are run, said that new blood is imperative as the RTA looks into the severance package given by Metra to outgoing Executive Director Alex Clifford.

A synchronized feat Many involved in daily pool operations

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com High temperatures and the summer sun generally mean people are heading to the community pool to cool off and splash around.

But making sure the gathering places operate smoothly during the summer requires a lot of teamwork, most of which goes unnoticed.

At the Algonquin pool, workers ensure the water’s pH level is between 7.2 and 7.6 for the 100 to 150 people who visit daily.

A pump house constantly filters

the pool water, and it’s where a public works employee adds chlorine.

The water temperature is set at 68 degrees.

Gary Gitzke, a public works employee for Algonquin, helps maintain the 180,000-gallon pool. He checks and balances the water conditions in the pump house.

The pool has a miniature filtration plant as water from the pool goes through several strainers and filters before being circulated back into the pool.

CHICAGO – Former White House chief of staff Bill Daley, who is considering running for Illinois governor, called Monday for a ban on campaign contributions while the Legislature is in session, saying the current rules are too lax and are one reason lawmakers can’t agree how to fix Illinois’ pension system.

The Chicago Democrat called for tighter restrictions a day after announcing he had raised roughly $800,000 since he formed a 2014 exploratory committee last month – a quick burst that signals he’s serious about running.

Daley said fundraising while l a w m a k e r s a r e Bill Daley meeting affects the political process and has kept legislators from pushing forward with a plan to address Illinois’ roughly $100 billion unfunded pension liability, job creation and education.

“The legislators and the statewide elected officials should be looking at these issues not based upon what fundraiser they’re running to that night and who’s giving them money,” he said.

Without mentioning specific people, interest groups or unions, Daley cited data compiled by his committee that showed the state’s six constitutional officers raised more than $2 million for approximately the four-month session that ended in May. Among the six are the governor, treasurer and attorney general – three of Daley’s possible rivals for governor, if he decides to run.

State law currently says that no officeholders, including members of the General Assembly or executive branch, can fundraise

More on Blackhawks? Blame my mom I know what you are thinking: Oh boy, here’s another Northwest Herald writer jumping on the Blackhawks bandwagon looking for an easy column topic. OK, you got me. But I just had to write this column because, well, it’s my mom’s fault. Let me explain.

My passion for the Blackhawks goes back to the late 1950s. It was my mom who really got me hooked on hockey. She was a huge Blackhawks fan, especially of Bobby Hull. We’d sit together in front of our Philco 17-inch television set watching the Golden Jet wind up for a slapshot as we tuned into Channel 9 and followed Lloyd Pettit’s voice around the rink. I can still hear my mom cry out, “Go, Bobby, go!” as I sat at my TV table munching on my Jay’s potato chips while sipping my awful-tasting Fizzies drink that was basically Alka-Seltzer with an overdose of Red Dye No. 40.

Yep, Mom was a Blackhawks fanatic. Although very shaky behind the wheel of our arklike Ford Country Squire station wagon, my mother could be talked into driving my brother, sister and I to Chicago Stadium to

8LOTTERY

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava see some games. We always had cheap seats, but to Mom they were golden tickets. I didn’t know what was more exciting: watching the game, watching her watch the game or riding home as she endlessly cruised the side streets of the city searching for Route 14.

Fortunately, we’d arrive home so late that we couldn’t get up for school the next day.

And speaking of school, when the Blackhawks couldn’t practice at the Stadium because of the Ice Capades, they would come out mornings to the Polar Dome in Meadowdale. Mom would pull us out of class to see them.

We’d get there early and wait for the players to show up and get their autographs. Of course, Mom would always be on the lookout for No. 9 so she could hold the ice rink door open for him.

I remember one time she stood there as Bobby approached. He looked

at her and said, “Here, let me get the door for you,” as he grabbed it and motioned her in. All she could say was, “Imagine … Bobby Hull held the door for me!” I couldn’t count how many times she told that story.

Then there was the time she encouraged me to sneak into their locker room when the Hawks were at the Dome. I did it, and got to see all the Blackhawks in their underwear, at least until Eric Nesterenko suggested I leave before Doug Jarrett hip-checked me into the parking lot.

Mom excitedly asked me, “What did you see?”

“They were all getting dressed for practice.”

“Really?” she gasped, “Did you get a photo of Bobby?”

Thus my mom became my Blackhawks buddy. When we weren’t watching or listening to the Blackhawks games together, we were playing each other on our table-top rod hockey game. We’d take trips together to Berwyn to visit Gunzos, the store that supplied equipment for the Blackhawks. She always got me something,

especially when I said, “Mom, I think Bobby would want me to have this.”

And so our lives would intertwine from one frozen season to the next.

We saw the Blackhawks win it all in ’61. They defeated the evil Detroit Red Wings and the sinister Gordie Howe.

That was the last Stanley Cup Mom and I saw together. Her number was retired shortly after.

When the Blackhawks won the Cup a week ago, I couldn’t resist writing about them. I could almost hear my mom urging me, “Michael, you have a column. Write about the Blackhawks.

And don’t forget to mention Bobby.”

So there you go, Mom. And, no, I didn’t leave out the part about him holding the door for you. Even the Golden Jet knew when he saw someone special.

A big Medicaid gap looms in Obama health care law

By RICARDO ALONSO–ZALDIVAR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Nearly 2 in 3 uninsured low-income people who would qualify for subsidized coverage under President Barack Obama’s health care law may be out of luck next year because their states have not expanded Medicaid.

gap developing, with 9.7 million out of 15 million potentially eligible adults living in states that are refusing the expansion or are still undecided with time running short.

That a majority of the people most in need who could be helped by the law may instead remain uninsured is a predicament unforeseen by Obama and congressional Democrats who designed a sweeping extension of the social safety net.

The law’s historic promise of health insurance for nearly all U.S. residents would not be fulfilled as envisioned.

It’s the direct consequence of last summer’s Supreme Court decision that gave states the right to opt out of the Medicaid expansion, combined with unyielding resistance to the law from many Republican state lawmakers.

Starting next year, middle-class people without jobbased coverage will be able to get tax credits to help them buy private insurance.

Expanded Medicaid would cover about half the 25 million to 30 million people who could be helped by the law.

Illinois ends fiscal year $6.1B in red

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Illinois finished the fiscal year with a smaller-than-projected backlog of unpaid bills thanks to a spring influx in unanticipated tax revenue, but those gains will be short-lived due to the state’s unresolved pension problem, the comptroller warned Monday.

In fact, a $1.3 billion April

windfall in unexpected revenue from residents’ sales of assets before new tax laws took effect will be erased within weeks, ensuring that vendors who provide some of the state’s most important services will continue to endure long waits to get paid, Republican Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka said in a statement.

“Make no mistake, the ‘April surprise’ is history,” she said.

Illinois ended the fiscal year Sunday $6.1 billion in debt, and that figure is expected to grow to $7.5 billion

by August and $9 billion by December, Topinka’s office estimated.

Topinka said putting the surprise revenue toward unpaid bills allowed the state to end the fiscal year in a better shape than it otherwise would have, but it doesn’t change the overall fiscal picture.

CHICAGO – Chicago police said the city has seen a significant drop in the number of homicides and shootings during the first six months of 2013. The department said Monday that there have been 184 homicides this year, 29 percent fewer than the 260 homicides during the same period in 2012. The number is the lowest for the time period since 1965, police said. Chicago saw 500 homicides total in 2012.

Chicago: Homicide, shooting numbers fall

CHICAGO – Chicago Public Schools plans to hire 200 young people to pack up schools that are closing this summer. The Chicago Sun-Times reported that the temporary hires are young people between the ages of 16 and 24. They will move furniture and other items from schools that are closing to schools that will receive new students this fall. The Chicago Board of Education voted recently to close 50 schools and programs.

“That windfall allowed us to aggressively pay down bills and provide some relief to vendors, but it did nothing to address the state’s systemic budget problems,” she said.

Toby Schultz pauses after laying flowers at the gate Monday of the Granite Mountain “Hotshot” Crew fire station in Prescott, Ariz. An out-of-control blaze overtook the elite group of firefighters trained to battle the fiercest wildfires, killing 19 members as they tried to protect themselves from the flames under fire-resistant shields.

Portable shelters couldn’t save 19 Arizona firefighters The ASSOCIATED PRESS PRESCOTT, Ariz. – Trapped by a wildfire that exploded tenfold in a matter of hours, a crack team of firefighting “Hotshots” broke out their portable emergency shelters and rushed to climb into the foil-lined, heat-resistant bags before the flames swept over them.

By the time the blaze had passed, 19 men lay dead in the nation’s biggest loss of firefighters in a wildfire in 80 years.

The tragedy Sunday evening all but wiped out the 20-member Granite Mountain Hotshots, a unit based at Prescott, authorities said Monday as the last of the bodies were retrieved from the mountain in the town of Yarnell. Only one member survived, and that was because he was moving the unit’s truck at the time.

The deaths plunged the two small towns into mourning as the wildfire continued to threaten one of them, Yarnell. Arizona’s governor called it “as dark a day as I can remember” and ordered flags flown at half-staff. In a heartbreaking sight, a line of white vans carried the bodies to Phoenix for autopsies.

“I know that it is unbearable for many of you, but it also is unbearable for me.

I know the pain that every-

one is trying to overcome and deal with today,” said Gov. Jan Brewer, her voice catching several times as she addressed reporters and residents at Prescott High School in the town of 40,000.

The lightning-sparked fire – which spread to 13 square miles by Monday morning – destroyed about 50 homes and threatened 250 others in and around Yarnell, a town of 700 people in the mountains about 85 miles northwest of Phoenix, the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Department said.

About 200 more firefighters joined the battle Monday, bringing the total to 400.

Among them were several other Hotshot teams, elite groups of firefighters sent in from around the country to battle the nation’s fiercest wildfires.

Residents huddled in shelters and restaurants, watching their homes burn on TV as flames lit up the night sky in the forest above the town.

It was unclear exactly how the firefighters became trapped, and state officials were investigating.

Brewer said the blaze “exploded into a firestorm” that overran the crew.

Brian Klimowski, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Flagstaff, said there was a sudden increase and shift in wind around the

time of the tragedy. The blaze grew from 200 acres to about 2,000 in a matter of hours.

Southwest incident team leader Clay Templin said the crew and its commanders were following safety protocols, and it appears the fire’s erratic nature simply overwhelmed them.

The Hotshot team had spent recent weeks fighting fires in New Mexico and Prescott before being called to Yarnell, entering the smoky wilderness over the weekend with backpacks, chainsaws and other heavy gear to remove brush and trees as a heat wave across the Southwest sent temperatures into the triple digits.

Arizona Forestry Division spokesman Mike Reichling said all 19 victims had deployed their emergency shelters as they were trained to do. When there is no way out, firefighters are supposed to step into them, lie face down on the ground and pull the fire-resistant fabric completely over themselves.

“It’ll protect you, but only for a short amount of time.

If the fire quickly burns over you, you’ll probably survive that,” said Prescott Fire Capt. Jeff Knotek. But “if it burns intensely for any amount of time while you’re in that thing, there’s nothing that’s going to save you from that.”

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama brushed aside sharp European criticism on Monday, suggesting that all nations spy on each other as the French and Germans expressed outrage over alleged U.S. eavesdropping on European Union diplomats. American analyst-turned-leaker Edward Snowden, believed to still be at Moscow’s international airport, applied for political asylum to remain in Russia.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a statement he acknowledged sounded odd, told reporters in Moscow that Snowden would have to stop leaking U.S. secrets if he wanted asylum in Russia – and he added that Snowden seemed unwilling to stop publishing leaks of classified material. At the same time, Putin said that he had no plans to turn over Snowden to the United States.

Obama, in an African news conference with Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete, said the U.S. would provide allies with informa-

tion about new reports that the National Security Agency had bugged EU offices in Washington, New York and Brussels. But he also suggested such activity by governments would hardly be unusual.

“We should stipulate that every intelligence service – not just ours, but every European intelligence service, every Asian intelligence service, wherever there’s an intelligence service – here’s one thing that they’re going to be doing: They’re going to be trying to understand the world better, and what’s going on in world capitals around the world,” he said.

“If that weren’t the case, then there’d be no use for an intelligence service.”

The latest issue concerns allegations of U.S. spying on European officials in the German news weekly Der Spiegel. French President Francois Hollande on Monday demanded that the U.S. immediately stop any such eavesdropping and suggested the widening controversy could jeopardize next week’s opening of trans-Atlantic trade talks between the United States and Europe.

Texas reconvenes for new abortion fight The ASSOCIATED PRESS AUSTIN, Texas – State troopers lined the halls of the Texas Capitol, and 5,000 protesters rallied outside against proposed abortion legislation, as lawmakers convened Monday for a second special session that Republican leaders pledged wouldn’t descend into chaos like the first.

The Texas House and Senate each met for less than an hour before recessing for the week.

That was just long enough to schedule new committee hearings for the proposed restrictions that would make Texas one of the toughest places in the nation for women to get abortions.

Less than one week earlier, Democrats scored a rare victory in the GOP-dominated Legislature by running out the clock on the first spe-

cial session.

Democratic Sen. Wendy Davis of Fort Worth was on her feet for more than 12 hours – speaking most of that time – during the Democratic filibuster. When Republicans used parliamentary technicalities to silence her, hundreds of protesters in the public gallery and surrounding Capitol corridors cheered so loudly that work on the bill couldn’t be completed before the midnight deadline.

“You’re going to see a completely different debate this time around,” said Rep. Steve Toth, a Republican from The Woodlands.

Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst took no chances with raucous protesters in the second special session Monday.

Security was much tighter than before, with troopers throughout the Capitol complex.

Student loan rates double without action

By PHILIP ELLIOTT The Associated Press WASHINGTON – College students taking out new loans for the fall term will see interest rates twice what they were in the spring – unless Congress fulfills its pledge to restore lower rates when it returns after the July 4 holiday.

Subsidized Stafford loans, which account for roughly a quarter of all direct federal borrowing, went from 3.4 percent interest to 6.8 percent interest on Monday. Congress’ Joint Economic Committee estimated the cost passed to students would be about $2,600.

“In the grand scheme of all the loans that I already have, I suppose it’s not out of control,” said Angie Platt, a 20-year-old University of Iowa student who expects to graduate with at least $60,000 in debt.

“It’s just another thing to add on. It doesn’t help me; that’s for sure,” the Lakeville,

Minn., native added.

Efforts to keep interest rates from doubling on new Stafford loans fell apart last week amid partisan wrangling in the Senate. Democratic senators and the White House both predicted that a deal would be reached in Congress to bring the rates down again before students return to campus. But if an agreement remains elusive, students could find themselves saddled with higher interest rates this year than last.

“It’s kind of surprising; that’s a big jump,” said Rebecca Ehlers, an Iowa State University senior majoring in math.

A $1,000 subsidized Stafford loan is part of her financial aid package and she said she’s reconsidering how she pays for school.

“I may work more or ask my parents for money rather than going through all that,” said Ehlers, 21.

She – and millions of others who use federal student loans to pay for their education – has some time before she has to make that decision. But not much.

“The only silver lining is that relatively few borrowers take out student loans in July and early August. You really can’t take out student loans more than 10 days before the term starts,” said Terry Hartle, a top official with colleges’ lobbying operation at the American Council on Education.

But that is little consolation for students looking at unexpected costs waiting for them on graduation day if Congress doesn’t take action before it breaks again for the month of August.

“I’m upset by it,” said Kolton Gustafson, a George Washington University political science major heading into his senior year. “I wish there was a larger reaction to it.”

Obama courts Africa’s business on trip’s final leg

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania – President Barack Obama on Monday courted African business leaders and announced new trade initiatives to open up East Africa’s markets to American businesses, as he sought to counter the rise of Chinese economic influence in the growing continent.

The United States, he declared, wants to “step up our game” in a region that is home to six of the world’s 10 fastest growing economies.

The president was welcomed in Tanzania by the largest crowds of his weeklong trip to the continent where his family ties run deep. Thousands of people lined the streets as his motorcade sped through this city on the shores of the Indian Ocean, some wearing shirts and traditional khanga wraps

bearing Obama’s image. The oceanfront road leading to the Tanzanian president’s residence had been permanently changed to “Barack Obama Drive” in honor of the visit.

Throughout his three-country trip, Obama has touted a new model for U.S. partnership with Africa, one based not just on aid and assistance but also on trade. While the U.S. has long been a leader in foreign aid to Africa, China has surpassed America as sub-Saharan Africa’s largest trading partner. Countries such as India, Turkey and Brazil also are increasing their presence on the continent.

“I see Africa as the world’s next major economic success story,” Obama told U.S. and African business leaders Monday. He spoke after a private meeting with top executives, including representatives from Coca-Cola, Microsoft and General Electric.

In earlier stops in Senegal

and South Africa, the president said he welcomed world economies turning their sights to Africa, declaring “the more, the merrier.” But he also challenged African leaders to pick their international partners carefully, saying they should push back against countries that bring in their own workers or mine Africa’s natural resources but handle the production outside the continent – all criticisms that have been levied against China.

Seeking to draw a contrast with Beijing, the president said his administration’s goal was “for Africa to build Africa for Africans,” and for the U.S. to be a partner in that process.

Obama’s trip marks his first stop in Africa since 2009, when he spent 24 hours in Ghana. China’s new President Xi Jinping embarked on an Africa swing less than two weeks after taking office earlier this year.

8BRIEFS Zimmerman questioning grew more pointed SANFORD, Fla. – Jurors in the George Zimmerman trial Monday listened to a series of police interviews with detectives growing more pointed in their questioning of the neighborhood watch volunteer’s account of how he came to fatally shoot 17-yearold Trayvon Martin.

Prosecutors played audio and videotapes of the interviews that Zimmerman had with Sanford Police investigators Doris Singleton and Chris Serino in the hours and days after he fatally shot the Miami teen.

Egypt’s military issues 48-hour ultimatum CAIRO – Egypt’s military issued a “last-chance” ultimatum Monday to President Mohammed Morsi, giving him 48 hours to meet the demands of millions of protesters in the streets seeking the ouster of the Islamist leader or the generals will intervene and impose their own plan for the

country. The military’s statement, read on state TV, put enormous pressure on Morsi to step down and sent giant crowds opposing the president in Cairo and other cities into delirious celebrations of singing, dancing and fireworks. But the ultimatum raised worries on both sides the military could outright take over, as it did after the 2011 ouster of autocrat Hosni Mubarak.

U.S. official denounces Hezbollah’s actions BEIRUT – A senior U.S. official denounced Hezbollah’s involvement in the Syrian civil war Monday and accused the Shiite militant group of putting the interests of Iran and Syria above those of the Lebanese people.

Underscoring growing sectarian bitterness, mainly Sunni rebels vowed to “liberate” two Shiite villages they’ve had under siege in northern Syria if residents don’t renounce President Bashar Assad’s regime and force out his troops and

Hezbollah fighters.

Prosecution wrapping up in WikiLeaks trial FORT MEADE, Md. – Al-Qaida leaders reveled in WikiLeaks’ publication of reams of classified U.S. documents, urging members to study them before devising ways to attack the United States, according to evidence presented by the prosecution Monday in the court-martial of an Army private who leaked the material.

“By the grace of God the enemy’s interests are today spread all over the place,” Adam Gadahn, an American member of the terrorist group, said in a 2011 al-Qaida propaganda video. The video specifically referred to material published by WikiLeaks, according to a written description of the propaganda piece submitted at the trial of Pfc. Bradley Manning. The evidence, which both sides agreed was factual, was read into record by lead prosecutor Maj. Ashden Fein.

Number of people in pool, temps can affect the pH Franks, Duffy call on County • POOL Continued from page A1 “I come in here every morning,” Gitzke said. “I have to read these gauges to make sure they’re all where they’re supposed to be.”

Every day he writes down in a journal the chlorine levels, how many gallons were used, the pH levels and the flow of the tanks.

If levels are off, Gitzke has to make an adjustment, such as adding sodium bisulfite to lower the pH. The number of people in the pool, whether there is rain, the temperature and wind blowing dust, pollen or dirt into the pool can affect the pH. At the pools, the most visible employees are lifeguards or pool attendants. The seasonal workers range in age from 16 to 26 years old. In Algonquin, when lifeguards aren’t watching over the pool, they have other duties.

Melissa Christensen is the Algonquin pool manager. The Huntley resident and special education teacher at Woods Creek Elementary School in Crystal Lake oversees the 30 to

Lifeguard Jennifer Hartsel, 20, of Algonquin conducts a water test June 23 to make sure the pH and chlorine levels are where they need to be before the pool opens at Lions Armstrong Memorial Pool in Algonquin.

35 employees at the pool who serve as lifeguards, cashiers and cleaners.

They even regularly check pH and chlorine levels.

“It gives them a sense of responsibility,” Christensen said. “It’s a very important job, which we try to continually drill into them. They’re not just sitting in the sun.”

When they’re not scanning the pool from a lifeguard stand, workers are cleaning tables or bathrooms, selling snacks at

the concession stand or preparing the pool by removing or adding lane separators.

Making sure everyone has fun while avoiding dangers or getting hurt is the pool operators’ main focus.

Cindy Witt, the recreation director for McHenry, said being a lifeguard at a city or park district pool is a great first job for teenagers at least 16 years old.

“Our No. 1 priority is safety,” said Witt, who added that

the McHenry pool can attract 100 to 150 visitors a day.

In Algonquin, lifeguards have weekly training to keep lifesaving skills sharp. They practice CPR and first aid, putting someone on a backboard and getting a swimmer out of the pool.

Being prepared for an emergency is something all pool operators keep in mind.

At the Huntley Park District aquatic center, which averages about 250 people a day this year, there is training on how to deal with emergencies in the pool and on the deck.

“One might be responding with an [automated external defibrillator], one might be responding to a seizure in a pool,” said Debbie Kraus, the park district’s recreation director.

Kraus also said that every employee, whether it be concession staff or a pool attendant, has some sort of role when responding to an emergency. They even work with the fire department at the beginning of each season to discuss how to handle certain emergencies.

“It’s always a team effort,” Kraus said.

Proposal includes all officeholders, political candidates • DALEY Continued from page A1 in Sangamon County while the Legislature is in session.

The laws were made in 1998 after an era when it was common in Springfield to hold breakfast fundraisers before morning committee hearings, according to campaign finance expert Kent Redfield.

Daley proposed extending the ban statewide and to all officeholders and political candidates for whenever the Legislature is in session, whether it’s for one day or months at a time. But the exception would be for the four months leading up to an election including primaries.

Daley vowed to abide by that principle himself while

campaigning for governor, including if there is a special session for pensions later this month. He also said that if he’s elected governor he won’t fundraise for the first three years in office even if lawmakers don’t approve such a ban.

He cited the state’s long history with political corruption and said a statewide fundraising ban while the Legislature is in session would restore the public’s confidence in elected officials by tamping down even the appearance of conflicts of interest and influence peddling.

Furthermore, he said, it would lead to shorter, more productive sessions.

“All our state leaders should be focused on the people’s businesses and not the

business of campaign cash,” he said.

But Redfield, who teaches at the University of Illinois at Springfield, said such a ban would be difficult to pass through the General Assembly and didn’t directly attack the problem of conflicts of interest.

That’s because the limits would only really apply to every other year and wouldn’t stop an interest group from giving before or after a sessions.

“This is working on the margins,” he said. “Anything that reduces conflicts of interest or appearances, those are all good things but since we already can’t have the fundraisers in Sangamon County, then I think you have a bigger impact doing

other things.”

More than two dozen states have some type of restriction on campaign contributions during legislative sessions, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

However some of those states only have restrictions on lobbyists.

The Democratic primary next year could feature a crowded field of high-profile candidates. Gov. Pat Quinn has said he’ll seek re-election, and Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan is considering running. A number of Republicans, including Illinois Treasurer Dan Rutherford, Chicago businessman Bruce Rauner and state Sen. Bill Brady have already announced bids.

Board to solicit applications • JOURDAN Continued from page A1 for financial oversight of Metra, Pace and the Chicago Transit Authority, announced last week that it would examine the deal, which could cost as much as $750,000.

“I’m tired of government by cronyism,” said Franks, of Marengo. “To reform government, you have to do different things. You can’t keep reappointing the same goodold-boy patronage network.”

Franks and Duffy called on the County Board to solicit applications from qualified individuals. Under state law, collar county board chairmen have the power to recommend their representatives to mass transit boards, pending full county board approval.

The Metra Board on June 21 accepted Clifford’s resignation with eight months remaining on his contract. It approved $422,000 in severance pay, as well as paying Clifford’s legal fees, moving expenses and health insurance costs. The agreement also included a gag order preventing Clifford or Metra officials from talking about the settlement.

Clifford, a former executive at the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority, was hired in 2011 in the wake of the scandal surrounding longtime Executive Director Phil Pagano.

Pagano, who was accused of defrauding Metra of about $475,000, committed suicide in May 2010 by stepping in front of a Metra train near his rural Crystal Lake home, just hours before the Metra board planned to vote to fire him.

Hill, R-Woodstock, said that Jourdan’s reappointment will be pulled from Tuesday’s agenda for the sole reason that new County Board members can meet with him and get to know him. More than one-third of

the County Board’s 24 seats changed hands in November.

Jourdan’s five-year RTA term expired in April, but Hill postponed considering the appointment because state lawmakers were pondering a bill to merge the RTA with the lesser-known Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning. The bill was sent back to committee in the Senate and not called for a vote in the spring session.

Hill said that other candidates expressed interest in filling the seat, but they did not have Jourdan’s expertise.

Duffy, R-Lake Barrington, disagreed that a more qualified candidate cannot be found in a county the size of McHenry County. And although state law clearly gives Hill the prerogative to recommend a candidate, he said he would like to see a more open process.

“Here we go again, appointing the same people instead of looking at all of the candidates available, and new and creative minds to give us a creative approach and a fresh perspective to get the state back on track,” Duffy said.

The sole vote on the Metra Board against accepting Clifford’s resignation came from Jack Schaffer, McHenry County’s representative.

He told the Northwest Herald last week that Clifford was “too honest for Illinois” and was forced out because he wouldn’t look the other way on political patronage jobs. Metra Chairman Brad O’Halloran said that Clifford was departing because of a “difference in opinion” on the direction of the rail network.

A bill stripping pension and insurance benefits from future appointees to the four mass-transit boards is awaiting Gov. Pat Quinn’s signature. Franks wrote the bill and passed it through the House, and Duffy was chief sponsor in the Senate.

Celebrating 4th of July As far as birthday celebrations go, the Fourth of July is usually one of the best of the year.

And we’re gearing up for this year’s party Thursday.

July 4, 1776, is the day the Declaration of Independence was adopted, an announcement by the Continental Congress that signified they no longer considered themselves part of the British Empire and were forming a new nation, the United States of America, made up of the 13 colonies.

It has become a day of parties and barbecues, ball games and flying American flags.

It is a day to celebrate the country and all it stands for, and to remember those who have died protecting and fighting for the truths and freedoms the country and its citizens have held self-evident for centuries.

That will be done locally Thursday, as municipalities and organizations hold parades, festivals and shoot off fireworks as the nation celebrates its 237th birthday.

We encourage residents to attend these events, to display pride at being Americans and living in a country that, for all its faults, trials and tribulations, remains one of the most free and best nations in the world.

And we encourage you to do so safely, to show respect to yourself and your neighbors as you celebrate your country.

If you’re driving or boating, don’t drink.

Wear sunscreen if you’re out in the sun. If you display the flag, do so honorably.

Leave the fireworks to professionals. While it’s tempting to want to light off a few firecrackers, that’s best left to those who have the training to do so safely. It’s illegal to buy, use of possess commercial fireworks in Illinois without a display permit from local authorities, anyway.

Even sparklers need to be handled with care. Registered nurse Karen Battaglia – trauma coordinator at Centegra’s McHenry campus who has seen significant injuries caused by fireworks over the years – said those using pyrotechnics need to respect the materials they are working with.

“If you don’t know how to work with it, don’t play with it,” she said. “Sparklers burn at 1,200 degrees, and we bake cookies at 350 degrees; people don’t think about these things.”

Thursday is a day to celebrate. Please, as you wish America a happy birthday, do so responsibly.

Failure of the farm bill

The gooey glob that was to be the next iteration of the federal Farm Bill has died a suitable death in the House of Representatives.

Over the years, the Farm Bill has become a handout to large corporate farming interests, skewing markets and keeping prices for some commodities, such as sugar, artificially high.

In order to keep urban members of Congress on board with the farm programs, the food stamp program was added to the Farm Bill.

It’s eminently clear that Congress needs to rethink the nation’s farm policy. If some disaster were to occur, lawmakers could step in with temporary help for agriculture, but for the most part ag can survive without federal handouts. And Congress needs to rethink the food stamp program. People in this country survived without food stamps and they can once again.

Cary flooding issue To the Editor: Shame on you, village of Cary, for allowing another round of victims to move into homes located at the intersection of Sunset and Crest drives.

Extreme flooding of this corner has been an ongoing and much ignored issue for a number of years.

The previous round of residents lost significant items of value, such as home contents and numerous automobiles.

The last straw for me and my husband was when interior walls collapsed that could have easily resulted in the death of one of my children.

We chose to walk away and hand the house over to the bank rather than sell an uninhabitable property to a hopeful homeowner who would ultimately be dragged through unspeakable hell.

Unbeknownst to us, banks do not need to disclose prior flooding that is not in their ownership history, hence more sales were completed.

Loopholes, inaction and poor city management contributed to the extreme misfortune of the current residents.

Until people stop talking about this issue and real action is taken, victims will continue to jump off and on the hamster wheel located at this Cary intersection.

Thank you, village of Cary, for absolutely nothing. I hope you will step up and do the right thing by the latest round of residents.

Thanks, Linda Schmidt To the Editor: There has been a flurry of letters since the Boy Scouts were ousted from a local church.

Everyone has their own opinions on this matter, but Linda Schmidt’s letter to the editor stated it so plainly.

Everyone is quoting different parts of the Bible, but the main idea behind the Bible is that God created all of us in his image and loves us all. That means he also created gays and lesbians. Jesus died on the cross for all of us.

Never did he say I am here for a select few.

If the Church can and has forgiven the scandals or various priests, then why are they so vocal and unforgiving to the scout organization? Is it because the scouts are being an inclusive group instead

of exclusive group? Now, I ask all people of faith, what does faith mean if it becomes exclusive?

That could never have been God’s intent.

I belong to a United Church of Christ church, and our philosophy is all are welcome and our motto is, “God is still speaking.” What a shame so many are not listening.

All are welcome because we are all God’s children, and he loves us all.

Peeling back the onion To the Editor: Most condemning of the IRS documents detailing the intrusive, politically motivated probing of tea party groups are calls for focused scrutiny of those organizations openly “teaching the Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution.”

Not too surprisingly, were I to introduce “Das Kapital,” “Mein Kampf” and the Quran into my classrooms, the storied patriarchs of academia would fervently celebrate my unfettered reverence for diversity and social justice as they systematically demonize and besmirch American traditions courageously represented by the Boy Scouts and pro-life religious gatherings.

May this long overdue, therapeutic and ongoing cleansing of the political landscape continue to peel back the layers of a well-funded, highly destructive liberal onion at long last revealing its thoroughly rotten and vacuous core.

In the end, the genius of the American experiment forged in the blood and toil of George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry will be dramatically reaffirmed, emboldened and dutifully preserved for future generations to revere and perpetuate.

Will Rauner’s GOP candidacy mirror Ryan or Gidwitz?

In early February, not a single person picked Bruce Rauner’s name in a Paul Simon Public Policy Institute poll of likely Republican primary voters.

Other polls taken since then have shown the retired financier Rauner in the low single digits in his bid for governor.

But Rauner has been dumping money into downstate TV, the Fox News Channel in the Chicago area, and Chicago and downstate radio.

As a result, he appears to be moving some numbers.

A Capitol Fax/We Ask America poll taken June 20 of 1,310 likely Republican gubernatorial primary voters found Rauner at 12 percent. The poll was taken almost two weeks after Rauner began running ads.

Twelve percent was enough for third place. It’s tough at this point to gauge just where Rauner’s ceiling is. He could zoom way up like the unknown wealthy candidate Jack Ryan did in the 2004 Republican U.S. Senate primary, taking over first place in January and never relin-

quishing it. Or he could top out like Ron Gidwitz did in the 2006 Republican gubernatorial primary. Like Rauner, Gidwitz started running TV ads in July 2005 and spent millions, but after an early rise, he stopped moving and ended up at only 11 percent.

Rauner’s “angry outsider” and anti-public employee union messages might play well with the base, but he also has pro-choice leanings, won’t say where he stands on gay marriage, and has close ties to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel – none of which will be loved by conservative Republicans. If any of his competitors exploit those weaknesses, Rauner’s rise could be stopped in its tracks.

Also, only 700,000 to 800,000 people tend to vote in GOP primaries, so the party’s old guard tends to have a significant say in the outcome. And, right now, the old guard is mostly with state Sen. Kirk Dillard.

But the poll has Dillard barely in last place of the four gubernatorial candidates tested.

Editorial Board: John Rung, Dan McCaleb, Jason Schaumburg, Kevin Lyons, Jon Styf, Kate Schott, Stacia Hahn

VIEWS Rich Miller However, pollster Gregg Durham cautioned against reading too much into the results.

“There isn’t a single result in here that I would consider as a trend, indication of strength or hint of weakness,” Durham said after he conducted the poll. “It’s just too early.”

And with the poll’s margin of error of plus-minus 2.8 percent, it’s impossible to say for sure that Dillard is in fourth place.

The poll has Treasurer Dan Rutherford in first, with 22 percent. State Sen. Bill Brady places second with 18 percent, then Rauner at 12 and Dillard with 11. An additional 38 percent said they were undecided.

Possible gubernatorial candidate Dan Proft was not tested.

Rutherford has carefully built a statewide campaign infrastructure

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

for the past two decades, culminating in 2010 with his state treasurer win. Brady is on his third race for governor, and his name recognition is still pretty strong after his 2010 loss to Gov. Pat Quinn in the general election. Dillard has been a state party fixture for years and came up less than 200 votes shy of winning the 2010 Republican primary.

Except for Rauner, it’s difficult to tell at this point how the candidates are doing with their fundraising.

Most candidates in both parties are taking advantage of an obscure but important state law that allows them to hold off reporting contributions until after they deposit the checks. Until they start spending money in a big way and need that cash immediately, we won’t be able to track most candidate fundraising between quarterly finance reports.

Rauner needs access to his cash because he’s spending so much.

Dillard is reportedly telling people that he’s on track to raise $200,000 to $300,000 this quarter, while Rutherford apparently plans

to report $1 million in the bank at the end of this quarter. But beyond that, we really don’t know what’s going on.

Also, Rauner has been careful not to go above the $250,000 selffunder ceiling, which would break the contribution caps for all candidates running for governor.

State law is a bit vague on whether a busted cap in one primary would apply to the other, but the executive director of the Illinois State Board of Elections told me last month that his interpretation of the law is that if a candidate in one party busts the cap, then all candidates in all parties for that particular office are no longer constrained by the state’s contribution caps.

The poll, by the way, had Rutherford ahead in downstate counties and in suburban Cook, while Brady led in the suburban collar counties and Chicago.

MAN ACCUSED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT WOODSTOCK – A former Wonder Lake man is being held at the McHenry County Jail after being charged with sexually assaulting a young girl.

Evan A. Staron, 27, was arrested Friday by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office and charged with Evan A. two counts of Staron predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, both Class X felonies. Court records list his address at 27045 W. Grass Lake Road in Antioch, but authorities said he used to live in Wonder Lake.

A female who is related to Staron told police she had been sexually abused by the man between 2007 and 2009 at a residence in Wonder Lake. She was younger than 13 at the time.

Lt. James Popovits of the sheriff’s office said authorities are interviewing more possible victims, which could bring additional charges.

Class X felonies are punishable by between six and 30 years in prison.

Staron is in custody in lieu of $100,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday.

Virtual charter plan scrapped Northern Kane group instead will expand online blended learning program

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com PINGREE GROVE – Northern Kane Educational Corp. has scrapped its plans to create a virtual charter school and avoided a debate with District 300 over the merits of a state prohibition on virtual charters.

Northern Kane instead will incor-

porate its charter plans to expand its online blended learning program as a program within the group’s Cambridge Lakes Charter School in District 300’s territory of Pingree Grove, Chief Executive Larry Fuhrer said.

Fuhrer said a virtual charter would have allowed Northern Kane to expand and brand its blended learning program to school districts

across the state through a cleaner and less-complicated avenue.

But after he pitched that idea to District 300 board members in midMay, he learned through a district attorney that the board wouldn’t support Northern Kane’s virtual charter because of a new state prohibition on online-only charters.

“We were already grandfathered

in because we already had virtual learning in Cambridge Lakes,” Fuhrer said. “As far as the bill the governor signed, it doesn’t preclude us from working with other districts on incorporating blended learning.”

Fuhrer unveiled the virtual charter plans to the Carpentersville-based

AdvantaClean employees Connor Gilbert (left) of Elgin and Michael Holloman of Hanover Park bring in fans and dehumidifiers to the Midwest Center for Children’s Development on Monday in Crystal Lake. AdvantaClean is donating its services to the nonprofit after last week’s heavy rains caused flooding at the facility.

Assistance comes in to help nonprofit recover from flooding

By JIM DALLKE jdallke@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – On Thursday, Traci Leigh contemplated shutting down her therapy center for good.

The Midwest Center for Children’s Development, a Crystal Lake nonprofit that uses horses and other therapy techniques for children with disabilities, was almost nearly surrounded by water after last week’s heavy thunderstorms dropped several inches of rain in the area in a short time.

Leigh and other employees believed if they couldn’t reopen the doors by Saturday, the center would not have enough money for the cleanup and would have to shut down.

The center’s staff worked 12-hour days to clean equipment and set up a therapy arena in the small area of the 17-acre farm that wasn’t flooded. On Saturday, the center was able to open its doors to assist nearly 30 patients.

Leigh then got more good news: A local sanitation company agreed to do the entire flood cleanup for free.

JT Maier, president of AdvantaClean, visited the Midwest Center for Children’s Development on Friday and offered his company’s services to the nonprofit.

“It’s incredible because we’re not sure if the insurance is going to cover a lot of the damage here,” said Leigh, the center’s equine manager. “It just saves us a ton of money that we don’t have because everything we make goes back into the program. It’s a huge donation on their part. It means a lot.”

Maier said he initially agreed to cover half of the cleanup charges, but eventually decided to provide the ser-

It’s a huge donation on their part. It means a lot.”

Traci Leigh Equine manager at the Midwest Center for Children’s Development vice at no cost.

“I gave it more thought and prayer, and decided that it was the right thing to do,” Maier said. “I can afford to do it because the flood has given me enough

business to cover the expenses.”

Maier estimates the cleanup would have cost the center between $6,000 and $10,000.

The four-day process, which began Monday, will involve cleaning with anti-fungal, anti-microbial and disinfectant chemicals to remove bacteria caused from water contaminated by horse feces. AdvantaClean also will break apart office walls to remove mold so the building can fully dry.

Others in the community also reached out to assist in the recovery, Leigh said. One woman came by with a pump Friday to help remove water.

CRYSTAL LAKE – McHenry County College could receive a $1.4 million federal grant to bolster its cybersecurity program and install a state-of-the-art cybersecurity computer lab.

MCC is one of eight community colleges in the country that could be selected to train potential employees for one of the fastest-growing job sectors in the nation and county, according to the Illinois Department of Employment Security.

The agency projects that cybersecurity jobs will increase about 26 percent each in DuPage, Kane, Lake and McHenry counties within the next 10 years.

Tony Miksa, MCC’s vice president of academic and student affairs, said the grant would enhance a program that already has helped fill some of the 386 cybersecurity jobs in the county.

“This is a growing sector, so it is important for the college to provide the skills needed for people in the community to get the jobs they need to better their future,” Miksa said.

“This will take our curriculum to the next level.”

The grant, which would cover a four-year startup period, would allow the college to hire a program director and assistant, and set up a $326,000 cybersecurity lab that would be housed in existing space.

Once the period ended, existing staff would take over the program.

Jim Falco, MCC’s executive dean for business and technology, said the college would have to hit certain benchmarks set by the federal government, and those benchmarks could lead to National Security Agency and Homeland Security accreditation.

“We would love to have that accreditation because it’s the gold standard in cybersecurity,” Falco said. “It would move our students’ résumés to the top of the pile.”

Algonquin may stay green with Cool Cities program

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – As the village continues its green and conservation practices, it is urging state and federal governments to do the same.

The village wants to renew its agreement with the Sierra Club’s Cool Cities program.

The agreement, which is a nonbinding resolution, calls for practices that reduce dependence on fossil fuels and encourages the development

of clean energy sources, support of greenhouse gas reduction legislation and reduction of greenhouse gases from 2009 levels.

Algonquin has been part of the agreement since 2007. Village Board members are scheduled to vote Tuesday on the new three-year agreement.

Village operations already include sustainable practices, including water conservation, membership in the Tree City USA program, use of naturalized detention basins, use of alternative fuels such as biodiesel or

natural gas and a conversion to LED lights.

“Staff sees participation in the Cool Cities program as a method to recognize the village’s innovative strides in conservation and allow greater access to grant funding to further support these initiatives,” Assistant to the Village Manager Mike Kumbera wrote in a village memo.

Algonquin is one of 59 communities in the state recognized by the

Virtual Learning met with resistance • CHARTER Continued from page B1 school district amid controversies with the nonprofit Virtual Learning Solutions’ attempt to create an online-only charter school in District 300 and 17 others in the Fox Valley.

Virtual Learning Solutions’ effort was met with resistance and sparked legislation that Gov. Pat Quinn signed May 24. It suspended the creation of any new virtual charter school for a year to allow state lawmakers time to study the alternative, online form of schooling.

Fuhrer and Northern Kane’s attorneys still believe the group’s virtual charter proposal would have been al-

lowed even with the state prohibition because its blended learning program had been in operation at Cambridge Lakes since 2011.

But he understood that with any new law comes debate over merits. That debate likely would have prevented Northern Kane from being able to expand its blended learning program to school districts this fall, Fuhrer said.

District 300 spokeswoman Allison Strupeck acknowledged that district officials had concerns about whether Northern Kane’s virtual charter proposal would have been allowed under the state prohibition.

“There was some speculation on whether the [Northern Kane] application fit into that

moratorium piece or not, and we believe that it does,” Strupeck said.

Fuhrer already has met with school districts throughout the region about incorporating Northern Kane’s blended learning program that offers traditional and online classroom instruction into the curriculum.

The intent of the blended learning expansion was always to complement, not supplant, the curriculum of individual school districts, he said.

“If we are going to provide the services to the children of Illinois like we need to, we’ve got to find the tools that increase their learning appropriately, and blended learning offers that,” Fuhrer said.

LAKE IN THE HILLS – A Lake in the Hills man has been arrested on several drug-related charges, according to the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office.

Michael A. Parra, 27, was charged Friday with five counts of possession of a controlled substance, three counts of possession of marijuana and a count of possession of drug paraphernalia.

He also was charged with three counts of delivery of a controlled substance, as well as counts of delivery of a controlled substance within

1,000 feet of a park, delivery of marijuana within 1,000 feet of a park, possession of a controlled substance with the intent to deliver and possession of marijuana with the intent to deliver.

The arrest ended an undercover investigation into complaints of the sale of prescription medications and marijuana in Lake in the Hills.

The investigation was led by the sheriff’s office’s narcotics unit, which includes members of the Lake in the Hills Police Department.

Members of the Intelligence Led Policing and K-9 units assisted with serving the

search warrant, which took place Friday at a home in the first block of Wander Way. During the search, officers seized four drug-laced suckers, 37.8 grams of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, packaging materials, a digital scale, 69 alprazolam pills, six amphetamine and dextroamphetamine pills, and three carisoprodol pills, according to a news release. The drugs were value at more than $2,210.

Two other adults and a juvenile were released from the scene after the search warrant was executed.

Parra is being held at the McHenry County Jail on a $75,000 bond.

McHENRY COUNTY: PREVENTING ILLNESS

Holiday food safety tips offered NORTHWEST HERALD WOODSTOCK – Party planning for the upcoming Fourth of July holiday should include more than a menu and invited guests.

The McHenry County Department of Health wants residents to practice safe food handling by keeping “hot things hot (above 135 degrees) and cold things cold (less than 41 degrees)” to reduce the risk of a food-borne illness.

Other safety tips include:

• Thaw frozen meats in the refrigerator.

• Wash hands thoroughly with warm water and soap before and after handling foods.

• Clean all kitchen surfaces before preparing food.

• To avoid cross-contamination, use separate plates for raw and cooked meats.

• Scrub cutting boards with hot, soapy water after preparing food.

• Use a metal-stemmed food thermometer to ensure food is cooked to the proper

temperature. Food is safely cooked when it reaches a high enough internal temperature to kill harmful bacteria.

• Refrigerate leftovers within two hours of serving time.

If a food-borne illness is suspected, contact the health department at 815-334-4585, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For after-hours emergencies, call 815-344-7421.

For more food safety tips, visit www.foodsafety.gov.

Village has green initiatives in place • ALGONQUIN Continued from page B1 Cool Cities program.

According to the agreement, the cities that sign on urge federal and state governments to enact policies and programs to reduce the country’s dependence on fossil fuels and accelerate the development of clean and economical energy resources.

It also calls for the development of fuel-efficient technologies such as conservation,

methane recovery for energy generation, wind and solar energy fuel cells and electric and efficient motor vehicles.

The agreement also calls for federal legislation to be adopted that includes “clear timetables and emissions limits and ... a flexible, market-based system of tradable allowances among emitting industries.”

Some of the goals listed in the agreement include promoting bicycle trails, incentives for car pooling and public transit, buying only

Energy Star equipment and appliances for municipal use, and promoting tree planting to increase shading and to absorb carbon dioxide.

The village has several initiatives that are green-oriented, such as electronic waste recycling. Since 2009, the village has recycled 343,000 pounds of electronics.

Two vehicles in the village fleet also use natural gas.

There even is a solar-powered trash compactor, which was provided to the village for free, at Cornish Park.

MCC optimistic about receiving grant • MCC Continued from page B1 be the second award given to McHenry County College as part of the Trade Adjustment Assistance initiative – a four-year, $2 billion federal program that helps community colleges develop job pro-

grams and training partnerships with local employers.

MCC received a piece of a $12.9 million grant from the program in 2012 to expand its manufacturing programs, including computer numerical control, robotics and welding.

Officials said they would know whether they receive the cybersecurity grant by

October.

Optimism is high for the award because the college already has been selected for a grant through the program, and the leading institution of the eight-college consortium is Houston Community College, which has been nationally recognized for its program.

Center could be at 100 percent by Saturday • CENTER Continued from page B1 furniture and appliances that were ruined from the contaminated floodwater. And Nunda Township officials dug bigger reservoirs so the

water could drain better.

“Sometimes it takes a tragedy to make a community come together,” Leigh said.

She believes the center can get back to its pre-flood operation level by Saturday, something Leigh couldn’t

imagine last week.

“Our main goal is to take care of these families that go through so much every day,” she said. “Our goal was to get these kids in for therapy on Saturday. We did it, so I’m happy.”

IHOP reopens in CL as Forester

Kyle Grillot - kgrillot@shawmedia.com

Operations Manager Jay Frasor walks through the warehouse of FYH Bearing Units USA Inc. The company, based in Japan, built a distribution center in Huntley in 2011. FYH has been working with the village of Huntley to attract other companies from Japan to the area.

Overseas options Huntley works to attract foreign investment

By BRETT ROWLAND browland@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – East Asia could be central to Huntley’s future.

The once-booming suburban village has turned its focus from residential growth to encouraging companies from Japan, South Korea and elsewhere to move to Huntley.

The town’s Huntley First program aims to put it “at the center of Chicago business.” Glossy brochures, printed in English and Japanese, tout the area’s transportation network, interstate access and lower labor costs and taxes.

This approach could help the village stand out from other towns.

Many municipalities in McHenry County, and throughout Illinois, have relied on incentive packages to spur economic development from domestic companies.

Other McHenry County towns have used incentive packages, sometimes poaching lucrative sales-tax generating businesses like big-box retailers from neighboring cities or villages.

Crystal Lake has promised new and existing businesses millions of dollars in sales tax rebates in recent years. It also has set up incentive programs for businesses looking to expand.

Smaller towns without the financial resources to offer incentives or the staff to run promotional programs, rely on personal service and the promise of an expedited permitting process to bring in commercial development.

As local towns scramble to attract businesses, Huntley’s campaign to lure foreign investment from companies thousands of miles away may seem like a long shot.

But experts say communities are adopting more specific economic development strategies as competition for businesses – and jobs – intensifies.

“I see this all the time,” said Jeff Finkle, president and CEO of the International Economic Development Council, the world’s largest economic development membership organization.

Places like Union County in Ohio, home to Honda manufacturing and research facilities, have long catered businesses from overseas, Finkle said. Union County’s Chamber of Commerce, Convention and Visitors Bureau and Economic Development Partnership website is in five languages, including Japanese.

Huntley’s tailored campaign is a response to changing economic times, said Victor Narusis, the village’s business recruitment coordinator.

“Business is very different than it was five years ago,” he said. “You just can’t go out and look for businesses, any business, and hope they’ll come to your community. It doesn’t work that way anymore.”

Competition for commercial businesses, from chain retailers to manufacturing companies, is fierce.

In its appeal to international busi-

CRYSTAL LAKE – Route 14 lost an IHOP on Friday, but gained a new restaurant in the same location Monday morning.

Longtime IHOP franchisee Mike Kunke’s contract with the pancake chain expired Friday, so he reopened as The Forester Restaurant on Monday.

“I wanted to go out on my own,” he said. “I’ve moved beyond IHOP.” The Forester, named after his father Roy Kunke’s first restaurant, is serving breakfast, lunch and dinner from a new menu. The quick relaunch was needed to keep customers – and money – coming in the door.

Mike Kunke had owned the franchise store for 12½ years. Before that he had worked for IHOP for six years.

The restaurant was closed over the weekend, a new sign was put up, and the eatery’s 45 employees studied up on the new menu offerings.

Many regulars were told of the decision a month ago.

Kunke and a few employees handed out coupons Saturday and Sunday to get the word out.

More interior and exterior changes are planned in the coming months for the restaurant, which is located at 6606 Route 14 in the Crystal Lake Plaza shopping center.

“A year from now, this will look nothing like an IHOP,” Mike Kunke said.

IHOP spokesman Craig Hoffman confirmed the closure, though the Crystal Lake store was still listed on the company’s website Monday morning. IHOP had 1,581 restaurants worldwide as of Dec. 31, 2012.

The Forester phone number is 815-356-3975.

Construction spending up 0.5% in May The Associated Press Kyle Grillot - kgrillot@shawmedia.com

Garrick McDaniel checks products in the warehouse of FYH Bearing Units USA.

Business Journal preview This article appears in the Summer 2013 issue of the McHenry County Business Journal, published this week. nesses, Huntley highlights its proximity to O’Hare International Airport and construction of a full access interchange at I-90. Many companies from Japan already are located along I-90 in cities closer to Chicago. The I-90 corridor is desirable because of its easy access to the airport, Narusis said.

Huntley is home to some foreign businesses, including FYH Bearing Units USA Inc. FYH, the largest maker of mounted ball bearings in Japan, opened a supply center in Huntley in 2011 at 13201 FYH Drive. Its executives have helped village officials connect with bankers, real estate agents and trade organizations that work closely with Japanese businesses.

FYH initially sought space in Elgin, but found lower land prices and a better location in Huntley, Executive Vice President Kazuo Kadotani said.

He estimated the company saved about 30 percent on land costs. Plus it was able to put up a building that can be seen from I-90, serving as a billboard for FYH. The favorable exchange rate between the yen and the dollar at the time made the investment even more attractive, Kadotani said.

Another factor in FYH’s decision was the responsiveness of the village,

Operations Manager Jay Frasor said.

“What separated Huntley from others was how much effort they put in to help us locate here,” he said.

The village even named the street FYH Drive, a perk for being one of the first companies to build in the Huntley Corporate Park along the interstate.

Narusis and Margo Griffin, the village’s business development coordinator, have attended meetings with the Japan External Trade Organization and other groups.

“We’re one of the few communities in the Chicago area that has a focus on this cluster,” Narusis said. “It’s a deliberate effort on our part to set ourselves apart. We’re not playing in a big pond and we’re one of the few fish in it.”

While the Huntley First campaign focuses on new businesses, it also aims to keep existing companies and help them expand, Griffin said.

The full interchange being constructed at I-90 and Route 47 has fueled interest in Huntley. Officials have estimated the road project could lead to $350 million in future economic development.

It could take years for Huntley’s strategy to pay off, but the the board is “100 percent” behind it, Village President Charles Sass said.

“This is a longer term push,” he said. “The economy is still tough. But the day of the big-box stores are over, so we’re taking a different approach and working to attract a full spectrum of development.”

WASHINGTON – Spending on residential housing rose in May to the highest level in 4½ years, helping to send overall construction spending higher despite a big drop in nonresidential activity.

Construction spending rose 0.5 percent in May compared with April when spending was up 0.1 percent, the Commerce Department said Monday.

Private residential construction rose 1.2 percent to the highest level since October 2008, further evidence of a rebound in housing. Spending on nonresidential projects fell 1.4 percent, dragged lower by declines in office building and shopping centers.

Public construction rose 1.8 percent with state and local activity up 1.6 percent and federal spending rising 0.6 percent.

Total construction rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $874.9 billion in May, 5.4 percent higher than a year ago.

The rise in residential construction reflected a 0.4 percent increase in new single-family construction and a 2.5 percent jump in multifamily construction.

Residential construction spending is 23.1 percent higher than a year ago while nonresidential construction is 0.9 percent below the level of a year ago.

Chamber’s Fiesta Days is time well spent I am often asked the question, “Why does the McHenry Area Chamber produce an event on the scale of Fiesta Days?” It takes time not only on the part of the chamber staff, but also 350 members and community volunteers.

Judge: Lawsuits too late Three lawsuits brought by men who said former Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash sexually abused them when they were underage were tossed out by a judge who said in a decision published Monday the men waited too long to sue.

U.S. District Judge John G. Koeltl said the claims must be barred because they came more than six years after the men reasonably should have realized that the physical and emotional injuries they’re suing over were caused by alleged encounters with Clash. The judge also noted that each man had been over the age of 18 for more than three years before the lawsuits were filed.

Clash was the man behind Elmo, the popular furry red monster, for 28 years.

Attorneys for the men promised an appeal while Clash said through his lawyer he hoped the ruling would help him recover personally and professionally.

One other lawsuit is pending in Pennsylvania.

Clash resigned from “Sesame Street” in November after college student Cecil Singleton sued him for more than $5 million, accusing Clash of having sex with him when he was 15.

At the time, Clash said he was leaving his job because “personal matters have diverted attention away from the important work ‘Sesame Street’ is doing.”

Singleton’s lawsuit was among those thrown out Monday. Koeltl also rejected lawsuits brought by Kevin Kiadii, who claimed Clash initiated contact with him on a gay chat line in 2004 when he was 16, and a third person, a Florida resident, who remained anonymous in his lawsuit as he claimed Clash befriended him in late 1995 or early 1996 when he was 16 or 17.

Carrie Underwood has found her voice on Twitter.

The country music star and former “American Idol” champion admitted 3½ years ago she was afraid to join Twitter, but since deciding to take the leap in 2011 she’s embraced the social media tool in ways that go beyond fan engagement. Recently, she used Twitter to oppose the “Ag Carrie Underwood Gag” bill in Tennessee, reaching out directly to Gov. Bill Haslam with a boldly worded message saying if he signed it “he needs to expect me at his front door.”

It was the first time she’s taken a political stand so publicly, and it seemed to have an impact. Haslam contacted Underwood to discuss the issue and went on to veto the bill that opponents claimed would have stopped investigation into animal abuse on farms.

“He really just wanted to hear everybody’s point of view, which I really respected,” Underwood said in a recent interview. “So it’s kind of neat that [tweet] led to that, which was really cool.”

Dave Smith, spokesman for Tennessee’s Republican governor, said Haslam spoke to people on both sides and Underwood’s was the only celebrity counsel he sought.

Underwood also recently declared “Hug a soldier day,” and puts her support behind movements like the “End It” anti-slavery campaign and animals rights. She has 2 million followers.

“Anyone that knows me knows that I’m a thinker and I’m a plan-

ner and I would never weigh in on anything unless I know the full story on it,” Underwood said. “So I do my research.

I don’t think I’m a bandwagon kind of person. People are always retweeting sort of weird stuff. I do my own research.

I’m not a political person at all. I doubt anyone can tell you what party I mostly affiliate myself with. But that was just something that was in my backyard.”

Toby Keith’s tour bus catches fire A tour bus for country singer Toby Keith caught fire on a highway near Indianapolis, though the singer wasn’t on board and no one was injured.

Lebanon fire chief Jason Lee said the bus was taking crew members to Nashville, Tenn., after a Sunday concert in Chicago when the driver spotted the flames about 4:45 a.m.

Monday on Interstate 65.

The fire caused police to close the highway’s southbound lanes for a couple hours about 15 miles northwest of Indianapolis.

Lee said firefighters arrived to find flames coming from the rear engine compartment. The fire badly burned the back of the bus, destroying some equipment and personal items of crew members.

Keith is scheduled to perform next at the Oklahoma Twister Relief Concert on Saturday in Norman, Okla.

Driving Deep and Down the Middle Golf Manufacturers Routinely Customize Balls for Tour Pros Manufacturer Now Customizes Anti-Slice Balls for Recreational Players

G

olf is a difficult game. Most golfers fight a slice. Hitting the ball straighter makes playing golf faster, cheaper and much more fun; fewer lost balls to replace, less time searching and hunting for wayward drives and above all, greater enjoyment and improved satisfaction that comes from shooting lower scores! Tour pros get help the average golfer doesn't. A recent issue of Golfweek (4/26) pointed out that golf ball manufacturers customize dimple patterns to provide specific launch characteristics for PGA Tour pros. Shouldn't those benefits be available to everyday golfers?

Polara Golf now accomplishes that goal with its XD ball, delivering extra distance while correcting slices by up to 50% with its unique, asymmetrical dimple patterns. For slicers that need extra correction, the Ultimate Straight reduces slices up to 75%, though there will be a slight loss of distance for slower swing speed golfers unless a 12 degree loft driver or 3-wood is used. Try them and you will undoubtedly experience the anti-slice effect. Golf Tips Magazine stated, “If you’re a recreational golfer who tends to find the rough more than the fairway, your fast track to straighter shots has arrived.

No, it’s not a new training aid, oversized draw driver or magic swing tip. It’s a golf ball that flies straight, even when you put a slice swing on it.”

Robotic Testing Validates Company Claims Polara went to Golf Labs in San Diego to validate their balls’ performance and the results were eye-opening. During robotic testing where a significant slice was induced, on average, Polara balls reduced the slicing effect by up to 75% over traditional balls including premium brands. Independent test manager Richard A. Levine (PhD, Forestat Consulting Group) reported, “The Golf Labs robot was set up to simulate a 90 foot slice based on launch conditions of an average golfer. With the Polara Ultimate Straight golf ball we found that compared to several popular golf balls, which all sliced about 90 feet, the Polara ball corrected up to 70 feet of the 90 foot slice.”

POLARA REDUCES SLICES BY UP TO 75%

NEED MONEY??

We Have 2 x $14,000,000.00 To Lend!!

Garnering National Acclaim!

Bill Pennington (New York Times) wrote, “The design of the (Polara) ball corrects slices and hooks by 75 percent. When I took the ball to a New Jersey driving range, regular golfers and the occasional pro could not slice or hook the ball with any regularity.” Veteran journalist Ron Claiborne (ABC News, Good Morning America) reported,” I carefully teed up a Polara ball, arrow on top, as instructed. I reared back and let it rip. The ball soared high into the sky, arched and landed on the fairway about 250 yards away. It had flown straight and true from tee to landing. I was in shock. No slice! I hit another Polara. The same thing. And another. I simply could not hit a bad shot. It was a miracle.”

Polara balls are designed for the vast majority of golfers who are recreational players, ones who want to take advantage of technology improvements; those who want to have more fun playing golf. I switched to a Polara ball and almost always shoot in the 70’s now. On my fifth round, I shot 71, three strokes lower than my previous best, though I've only been playing 25 years. There were shots I knew I missed, but the Polara corrected my mistakes. Shooting lower scores makes playing golf more fun and far less frustrating. “We’re not trying to remove the skill from the game,” said Polara’s director of R&D, David Felker. “We’re just trying to remove the frustration.”

With Polara golf balls, hit more fairways, shoot lower scores and have more fun - guaranteed or your money back.

As sports fans, we’re charmed Mike Krebs – mkrebs@shawmedia.com

Rob Kruse works on a mural of Homer “Bill” Barry on June 21 in Marengo High School’s gymnasium. The gymnasium was dedicated to Barry in 2008. Barry was Marengo’s boys basketball coach for 29 years.

Gone, but not forgotten Marengo honors memory of former coach Barry with mural

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com MARENGO – Marengo athletic director Chad Olson gazed at the newly painted face on the gym wall with a smile of satisfaction.

Olson recalled the night of Jan. 19, 2008, when the gym was named in honor of legendary former coach Homer “Bill” Barry.

Olson’s eyes welled up as he spoke about his high school coach, the man who meant everything to Marengo basketball for 29 years.

“You get nervous knowing you’re going to put something on the wall like that for everybody to see,” Olson said. “It came out great. It looks just like him.”

Olson and Marengo administrators hatched the plan this year

“Homer would be pleased. He would be a little overwhelmed by it all.”

Bill Barry Jr. Son of Homer “Bill” Barry

to put Barry’s face on the wall of Homer “Bill” Barry Gymnasium.

Rob Kruse, a retired coach and teacher from Dundee-Crown who just joined Marengo’s football staff, finished the mural last week.

The painting has Barry’s smiling face along with his name and career record – 718-345 overall in 38 years, 573-211 in 29 seasons at Marengo. Kruse also painted an Indian head above the other door

and a huge ‘M” with “Home of the Indians” under the east basket.

Barry died in March 2008, about six weeks after the ceremony to name the gym. The Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Famer was 74 and had suffered from Parkinson’s disease for his last few years.

Barry’s son, Bill Jr., was the first family member to see the mural when he visited the gym June 24.

“Homer would be pleased,” Bill Jr. said. “He would be a little overwhelmed by all of it.

“I’m really touched and humbled, and I know my family will feel the same way when they see it. It’s appreciated. It’s a legacy, and now that I have a 5-year-old granddaughter [Michaela] who

will eventually graduate here, it will be nice for her to walk into this gymnasium some day, hopefully with a basketball in her hands, and say, ‘That’s my great grandpa.’ ” Coach Barry’s widow, Dorcas, still lives in Marengo. She has four sons.

Bill Jr. said his father actually considered getting out of coaching when he was at Huntley in 1968 because he was tired of losing. Barry took the Marengo job and was 8-15 in his first year; the Indians had only one other losing season in their next 28.

During one stretch, Marengo won Class A regional titles in 13 of 15 years.

CHICAGO – As sports fans, it’s easy to grumble. Easy to nitpick.

Easy to scan the baseball standings and wonder what life is like in other, happier sports cities.

Does the sun shine brighter in the Sunshine State? If everything is bigger in Texas, how big must their smiles be? Does your GPS system know the way to San Jose?

But the truth is that we’re lucky.

Really lucky.

Sure, the Cubs are about as exciting to watch as a highway construction project. Instead of orange cones, Theo Epstein and his front-office staff have lined up veterans on short-term deals until younger reinforcements are ready.

And, yeah, the White Sox are kind of like that room in your house that somehow becomes more of a mess with each passing day. You would clean it up if you had two weeks and a bulldozer, but it’s easier to close the door and pretend it doesn’t exist.

But we really are lucky.

Less than a week ago, millions of sports fans filled the streets of downtown and packed Grant Park for the Blackhawks’ Stanley Cup championship parade and rally. Three years before that, millions lined Michigan Avenue for the same purpose.

WEB.COM TOUR: UNITED LEASING CHAMPIONSHIP

Putts won’t fall for Affrunti before, during playoff CL golfer set for PGA Tour’s John Deere Classic

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com There are times in the life of a professional golfer when it doesn’t do any good to question why putts don’t drop.

Joe Affrunti finds himself in such a position.

Affrunti watched one putt Sunday lip out before the next did a full 360-degree spin around the cup, leading to a double bogey on the 17th hole during the final round of the United Leasing Championship. Then on Monday, with a chance to capture his first Web. com Tour win in a four-man playoff, Affrunti’s par putt on the first extra hole again lipped

out, allowing Ben Martin to leave Victoria National Golf Club in Newburg, Ind., with his first tour victory after parring the hole.

Affrunti knew there was no sense stewing about the result.

“It’s one of those things where when you see a couple of putts force you out, it’s a little bit of luck and a little bit of, ‘That’s part of golf,’ ” Affrunti said in a phone interview Monday. “You can’t be [ticked] off about it.”

In Monday’s playoff, Affrunti’s tee shot traveled down the right side of the fairway and found the edge of the rough on the par-4 18th hole, a hole Affrunti parred in three of the

four rounds of the tournament.

After laying up and then getting onto the green on his third shot, Affrunti’s 10-foot par putt lipped out, ending his chance at his first win.

The playoff came a day after Affrunti waited out a lengthy weather delay and then finished as darkness fell. On the 17th hole, Affrunti misread his first putt, not taking into full account how soft the greens had become after rain fell earlier in the day. After his putt lipped out, Affrunti was left with a 4-foot putt for bogey. But that putt rolled completely around the edge.

8SPORTS SHORTS PGA Tour to support ban on anchored putters

Bulls general manager Gar Foreman speaks Monday during a news conference at the Berto Center in Deerfield about not renewing the contract of assistant coach Ron Adams for the 2013-14 season after introducing draft picks Tony Snell and Erik Murphy.

BULLS

Forman downplays friction After firing Thibs’ top assistant Adams, GM stresses unity

By ANDREW SELIGMAN

Report: Bulls, swingman Dunleavy agree to deal

The Associated Press DEERFIELD – Bulls general manager Gar Forman insisted it was his call to let Tom Thibodeau’s top assistant go and downplayed the idea there’s friction with the coach.

The Bulls announced Monday that they were not renewing Ron Adams’ contract for next season, raising a few eyebrows.

“The decision was made by me because I felt it was the best decision for the Bulls going forward,” Ron Adams Forman said.

Why was it the best decision? Forman wouldn’t say.

Adams rejoined the Bulls in 2010 after serving as an assistant with Oklahoma City after a five-year run in Chicago from 2003 to 2008. The way this move came down was unusual because head coaches generally set their staff, yet it was the general manager pulling the plug in this case.

“Here’s what I don’t want to get into,” Forman said. “We make tens if not hundreds of decisions every year. I don’t think we want to evaluate every decision, who’s on board. We communicate about every decision, and at the end of the day, I’ve got to make the decisions I feel are best for this organization moving forward.

We’ll unite and we’ll move forward. Tom makes the decisions on the floor. He’s our head coach. I think he’s as good a coach as there is in the NBA. He does a great job.

“Do I agree with absolutely every decision he makes?” he continued. “We’ll

ESPN.com reported Monday that the Bulls and free-agent swingman Mike Dunleavy Jr. have verbally agreed to a two-year, $6 million deal.

Deals cannot be signed until the moratorium is lifted July 10. But teams are allowed to enter into verbal agreements with players before then.

– Northwest Herald communicate, probably not. But at the end of the day, I’m going to support the decisions he makes, and I think he’s going to support decisions that I make. As long as once they’re made, we unite and move forward because the goal is to continue to get this team better and to compete for a championship.”

Thibodeau praised Forman and his staff after the draft Thursday night, and they’re locked in for four more years after agreeing to an extension last fall. But that didn’t come without a bump or two.

Thibodeau waited until later in the season to sign the deal, saying some legal issues needed to be ironed out.

Throw in Derrick Rose’s season-long recovery from a torn ACL in his left knee and there was no shortage of side stories as the Bulls clawed their way to 45 wins and a second-round playoff loss to the champion Miami Heat.

Now, this.

Forman found himself answering questions about an assistant coach on the day the Bulls introduced first-round draft pick Tony Snell of New Mexico and second-rounder Erik Murphy of Florida.

Thibodeau was not available to reporters to discuss the Adams move, though he said in a team statement: “Ron is a great friend, an outstanding coach and I will miss him.”

Forman said he and his coach “have a very good working relationship.” He also said the GM has “final say” over assistants and that the rest of the coaching staff remains in place.

As for free agency, the Bulls have no cap room and are in luxury-tax territory, so they don’t have much flexibility.

“I think it’s still a feeling-out period as far as what the market is and what players are available,” Forman said. “At this point, we’re limited because of being in the tax. But within that, I think we’ll look at every avenue we have to move forward.”

He said the Bulls did reach out to point guard Nate Robinson’s representatives and the team will wait and see “where the market’s going.” The same goes for Marco Belinelli.

There’s a good chance Robinson could be squeezed out with Rose returning and veteran Kirk Hinrich and 2012 first-round pick Marquis Teague in place. Belinelli might find a bigger role and a bigger paycheck with another team. Forman would like to bring back veteran center Nazr Mohammed.

“Really like Nazr,” he said. “First of all, it’s good to have veterans like Nazr that have been around the league, that understand what it takes to be successful.

He’s great in our locker room. I think he’s great on the practice floor, and I think he was very good in games, especially late in the year.”

NBA FREE AGENCY

Paul staying in L.A.; Howard hears pitches

By BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press Chris Paul’s answer was brief, just like his time on the free agent market.

“I’M IN!!!” he wrote Monday on Twitter.

He will be staying with the Clippers, the longtime losers he helped turned into a division champion in just two seasons.

Dwight Howard will need more time to think.

Free agency opened Monday in the NBA with the focus

on the pair of Los Angeles AllStars, though Paul took himself off the market only hours after shopping season started.

Agent Leon Rose confirmed Paul’s return, which had been expected after the Clippers signed Doc Rivers as their new coach. The Clippers can pay the two-time Olympic gold medalist around $108 million for five years.

Howard can make even more by staying with the Lakers, but that won’t stop him from looking elsewhere.

He met with the Houston

Rockets early Monday, the Dallas Mavericks and Atlanta Hawks also are interested, and the Lakers have said repeatedly they want to keep him.

The Rockets got the first crack at persuading him to leave. With Hall of Famers Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler joining its contingent, Houston pitched Howard on joining All-Star James Harden.

Rockets general manager Daryl Morey wrote on Twitter that it was a great meeting

Marengo coach Kruse paints portraits • BARRY Continued from page C1 “I remember asking him one time, ‘Did you ever go into a game thinking you’d be beat?’ ” Bill Jr. said. “He said, ‘I don’t remember going in thinking we would lose. We went into a lot of games where I knew we were outmanned, but I never went into a game thinking we’d get beat. Ever.’ ” Olson, who played on the 1990 Class A Elite Eight team, said the players felt the same way.

“You could put anybody on our schedule, and I thought, ‘We’ll beat them,’ ” Olson said.

“This is what you do. We never

thought of it any other way.”

Marengo opened its new high school nine years ago, and Olson, who formerly was boys basketball coach, took over as AD this year.

“I never knew I’d be in a position at my school to do this,” Olson said.

Olson talked with football coach Matt Lynch, who knew of Kruse’s artistic talents.

Kruse coached at D-C when Lynch played there in the early 1990s. Kruse showed Olson some of his work and Marengo decided he would be the man for the job.

“I really never knew Marengo had such a tradition,” Kruse said. “I’ve been doing portraits for a long time and thought it

was a pretty big honor to do that. I was hoping it would be good enough.”

Kruse, a former physical education and driver education teacher, started a business, Sportraits, to paint pictures of people and has a website at sportraits.weebly.com.

“The reason I like doing things like that is it makes people happy,” said Kruse, who also is doing work on Marengo’s weight room walls. “If I can capture their personality in the artwork, then I feel good.”

The early reviews on Kruse’s work indicate he succeeded.

“It’s adding some character and life to the school that we need,” Olson said.

with Howard and that having Olajuwon and Drexler there “made it obvious how (Howard and Harden) could be the next (great) big/wing combo.”

Hawks general manager Danny Ferry and new coach Mike Budenholzer were visiting Howard later Monday, trying to convince him to join his hometown team.

And he’ll meet Tuesday with the Lakers’ delegation.

His first – perhaps only – season in Los Angeles was a disappointment and he acknowledged being unhappy at times.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The PGA Tour said Monday it would follow a new rule that bans the anchored putting stroke used by four of the past six major champions, asking instead Monday for a temporary reprieve for those who play the game for fun.

The announcement Monday after a PGA Tour board meeting is the final piece of confirmation from a major golf organization for Rule 14-1b, which will take effect Jan. 1, 2016 when the next “Rules of Golf” is published. The rule makes it illegal for players to attach the end of the club to their body while making a stroke.

Adam Scott used a long putter held against his chest when he won the Masters. Ernie Els (British Open) and Webb Simpson (U.S. Open) used a belly putter last year. Keegan Bradley in the 2011 PGA Championship was the first major champion with a belly putter.

The Royal & Ancient Golf Club and U.S. Golf Association proposed the new rule Nov. 28 and allowed for a three-month comment period. It formally adopted the rule May 21.

Finchem said in February the tour was opposed to the new rule because there were no data to suggest an advantage and no “overriding reason to go down that road.”

NHL closer to sending players to Olympics NEW YORK – NHL players are closer to returning to the Olympics next year.

Although a deal hasn’t been reached yet between the NHL, the union and the International Ice Hockey Federation, to send the league’s players to Sochi, a long meeting Monday pushed the sides much closer to a deal.

“Things are moving along,” NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said.

Bettman, union leader Donald Fehr and IIHF President Rene Fasel met for more than five hours Monday at league headquarters to work on a deal that would allow NHL players to compete at the 2014 games in Russia. This would be the fifth Olympics for the NHL.

Gerrans holds off Sagan to win 3rd Tour stage CALVI, Corsica – Australian sprinter Simon Gerrans held off a late charge by Peter Sagan to win Monday’s hilly third stage of the Tour de France by less than half a wheel.

Gerrans looked to have the finish line in sight with about 100 meters to go, but Sagan had a late sprint and almost caught him. But Gerrans dug deep to clinch his second career Tour stage win.

Jan Bakelants, the winner of Sunday’s second stage, kept the yellow jersey.

Monday’s 90-mile trek started from Ajaccio, where French emperor and military mastermind Napoleon Bonaparte was born in 1769, and finished in Calvi after three moderate climbs and a steeper last climb tested the legs of the peloton.

Only 4 other cities with more titles since 2000 • MUSICK Continued from page C1 Since 2010, do you know how many U.S. cities have celebrated more major professional sports championships than Chicago? Here’s a hint: It’s less than one.

See your lawn? The grass is greener than in all but three cities – Miami, San Francisco, and Los Angeles – which have matched Chicago with two titles during the decade.

Let’s turn back the clock even further, all the way to 2000, when gas cost less than $2 a gallon and hanging chads were a dime a dozen. If you started tracking title winners since the day “Y2K” was exposed as a fluke, Chicago still would be a city of champions.

Unless you’re from Cleveland, you might enjoy this list of sports titles from the major four leagues since 2000.

Top tier: Los Angeles (8), Boston (7), New York (4), Miami (4) Considering how passé most Southern California sports fans seem to be, it’s amusing that Los Angeles leads the millennium in championships. The Lakers have won five titles, while the Kings, Angels and Ducks have chipped in with one apiece.

If you’re looking for the most well-rounded modern sports city, that would be Boston, which has celebrated championships in the NFL (3), MLB (2), NBA (1) and NHL (1).

Second tier: Chicago (3), Pittsburgh (3), Detroit (3), San

Antonio (3) Not bad, right? The Hawks’ two Stanley Cup titles, combined with the White Sox’s World Series title in 2005, means Chicago is tied for fifth place in a narrow race for 21st century championships. The San Antonio Spurs whiffed on a chance to push their one-team town up the list, while – this is crazy to write – the Pittsburgh Pirates might have a better shot than the Detroit Tigers to win this year’s World Series.

Third tier: Baltimore (2), San Francisco (2), St. Louis (2), Tampa (2), New Jersey (2) A mere eight days ago, Chicago was part of the two-title group. The next city to become three-time winners could be San Francisco, where the 49ers are looking to throw a Super Bowl party much like the Giants enjoyed World Series parties in 2010 and 2012. Baltimore could have another title shot with the Ravens or Orioles, while the St. Louis Cardinals – this is crazy to write – are almost as good as the Pirates.

So the next time someone starts to complain about how difficult it is to be a Chicago sports fan, shush him or her with your best Ditka staredown.

We’re actually lucky to be here.

Really lucky.

LPGA TOUR

Park will chase 4th straight major title at British Open

By RACHEL COHEN The Associated Press

Sloane Stephens hits a return to Monica Puig during their fourth-round Wimbledon match Monday in London. Stephens won in three sets to reach the quarterfinals.

WIMBLEDON

Stephens last American remaining; Serena falls

By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press LONDON – Without a doubt, Grand Slam tournaments bring out the best in Sloane Stephens, the last American singles player still around at the All England Club.

Take a look at what she’s done this season.

After her career-best run to the Australian Open semifinals in January, and before her second-week appearances at the French Open in June and at Wimbledon – where the 17th-seeded Stephens reached the quarterfinals with a threeset victory Monday – she went through quite a rough patch: a four-month stretch in which she failed to win more than two consecutive matches at any tournament.

“It was a bad time,” Stephens said.

How did she turn it around?

“Just knowing that I am a

good tennis player. I’m Top 20 in the world for a reason.

I didn’t, like, all of a sudden, snap my fingers and I got good,” Stephens said. “I put in a lot of work. (It) took a lot of sweat (and), like, ‘bad hair’ days, all that other stuff, to get to where I was. I realize that I just couldn’t let that go to waste. I had to get back to work.”

At Roland Garros last month, she reached the fourth round before losing to 2012 champion Maria Sharapova. At Wimbledon on Tuesday, Stephens will take on 15th-seeded Marion Bartoli, the 2007 runner-up, with a chance to reach her second major semifinal of the year – and of her nascent career.

“Everyone asks, like, ‘Why do you only play well in the Slams?’ ... I mean, I don’t know,” the 20-year-old Stephens said. “It just happens.”

Playing at Wimbledon for the second time, Stephens

got through the fourth round Monday by beating 19-yearold Monica Puig of Puerto Rico, 4-6, 7-5, 6-1.

Stephens wrapped up her 2-hour, 4-minute victory on Court 18 shortly after defending champion Serena Williams’ 34-match winning streak ended with a 6-2, 1-6, 6-4 loss to Sabine Lisicki on Centre Court.

For the first time in 101 years, no men representing the U.S. even made it to Wimbledon’s third round, and Williams and Stephens were the only women from the country in the fourth round.

Williams was asked who she thinks will win Wimbledon now that she’s out.

“Sloane has a really good chance of winning. She has a great draw. I think she can take it,” said Williams, who lost to Stephens in the Australian Open quarterfinals. “It would be really nice to see her win.”

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. – Inbee Park hoped to win a Grand Slam.

A career Grand Slam, that is. The single-season variety was just too outlandish.

Yet she’ll head to St. Andrews next month for the Women’s British Open with a chance to become the first player to go 4 for 4 in majors – whatever that may be called, now that there are five majors in a year.

“Whether I do it or not, I’m just a very lucky person,” Park said Sunday after winning the U.S. Women’s Open for the second time.

Park’s four-shot victory at windy Sebonack would seem to bode well for Scotland, though the world’s top-ranked

player has won in pretty much every situation this season on the way to six titles, including all three majors and three straight tournaments overall.

Park talked Sunday about how calm she felt, and Annika Sorenstam could only marvel. Sorenstam was Inbee Park the last player to try to win the year’s first three majors, in 2005, and she didn’t come close at the U.S. Women’s Open.

“I was NOT calm,” she said with a laugh.

“I know the pressure you can feel, the expectations,” Sorenstam added. “She’s handled it beautifully. Nothing seems to faze her.”

Brad Beecher, Park’s longtime caddie, said he’s never seen her angry or emotional on the course.

“I think it’s because I feel the happiest when I’m at the golf course,” Park said. “I feel calm when I’m on the golf course. I think I’m just a much better person when I’m on the golf course. Yeah, outside the golf course, I feel the pressure and I feel what everybody else is feeling. But on the golf course, it’s just the golf ball and clubs. And when I have that, it just puts a lot of pressure off of me.”

She’ll head home to South Korea for a rare visit before the British. Park knows she won’t get much time to herself there, but she wants to share her success with the fans who wake up in the middle of the night to watch her play.

Affrunti looks forward to time off • AFFRUNTI Continued from page C1 Affrunti could have avoided a playoff with a birdie on 18, but he parred the hole instead, putting him into Monday’s four-man playoff.

“Maybe that was somebody telling me I need to work on my putting more,” Affrunti said. “It was a good putt – it just didn’t go in this time.”

With the finish, Affrunti jumped 99 spots on the Web. com Tour’s money list, moving to 52nd. He has earned $55,207 in 10 events.

Affrunti will take a week off after withdrawing from this week’s PGA Tour stop in West Virginia. Had he made the trip, it would have been his eighth straight week competing – a schedule he said he couldn’t maintain. He’ll spend the week around the Chicago area and won’t pick up a golf

club until Friday, when he begins preparations for next week’s John Deere Classic in Silvis near the Iowa border.

As much of a rhythm as Affrunti feels his game is in right now, he looks forward to a few days away from golf before continuing his comeback to maintain his status as a PGA Tour player next week at TPC Deere Run. The course, located 143 miles from Crystal Lake, sets up the same as Victoria National, giving Affrunti a good idea of what he’ll need to do to be in contention next week.

Affrunti earned his PGA Tour card in 2010, but missed about three years after undergoing wrist and shoulder surgery. He was given a medical exemption, which gives him 13 PGA events to earn $649,329 – the amount needed to maintain a major medical exemption. Affrunti has

earned $26,740 in two events this year – the St. Jude Classic and Travelers – and has 11 tournaments left to earn the necessary $622,589 to remain qualified to compete in PGA Tour events.

Affrunti was scheduled to play in a pro-am tournament Monday in Washington, D.C., but the playoff forced him to cancel. Despite being eager to continue the competitive rhythm he’s built, Affrunti welcomes the break.

“It’s like anything – if you work from sunup to sundown seven days a week, you’re going to need a break,” Affrunti said. “Physically and mentally, you need a break, and so a week off is a great. Mentally, it’s a little relaxing to not be concentrating and working on your game so hard. So I can take a little break and take a little time off the course for a few days.”

Baseball night in Cuba MLB makes comeback on state TV, but viewers mostly disappointed

By ANNE–MARIE GARCIA The Associated Press HAVANA – Cubans got to watch something on their TV screens this week that this baseball-crazed island hasn’t seen in more than half a century: a Major League Baseball game broadcast in its entirety on the open airwaves.

But the early reviews were not overly enthusiastic. The game turned out to be a nearly 2-month-old matchup between two teams that boast none of the defected Cuban stars who islanders are most eager to follow.

About 9:30 Sunday night, “Baseball International” cut to a full replay of the May 2 game between the Washington Nationals and Atlanta Braves, which ended in a 3-1 Nationals’ win.

It was unlike a normal U.S. broadcast, stripped of commercials and lasting just an hour and a half or so.

Cuban commentators provided color and play-by-play over the original English, which could be heard faintly in the background.

Baseball is just as much of a national pastime in Cuba as it is in the

United States, but even die-hard fans mostly shrugged after watching.

“It’s interesting to see how they play, but I can’t say it thrilled me all that much because I don’t know any of the players,” said Diego Sierra, 67.

“I would really like to see the Cubans, see how they are developing in that league, really see how well they are doing.”

He was talking about homegrown talent like outfielder Yasiel Puig, who has posted a gaudy .436 batting average this year in 26 games played for the Los Angeles Dodgers, or fireballer Aroldis Chapman, a closer who’s on pace for 40 saves with the Reds this year and who set a record in 2010 by throwing a ball 105 mph.

Defectors’ names all but disappear from the official press once they leave Cuba, the trade-off for contracts that make them instant millionaires.

Islanders rely on word of mouth, news from relatives abroad and videos passed around on pen drives and DVDs to keep up with their exploits.

“I watched this game for about 45 minutes and didn’t think much of it,” said Margarita Roman, a 46-year-

old devotee of Havana’s powerhouse team, Industriales. “Besides, there weren’t any Cubans. That’s what interests us.”

“But things are changing so I hope the next step is to show a game with our compatriots, and if it can be live, all the better,” she said.

Cuban TV sometimes carries MLB highlights and last month showed several games of the NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs, days after they were played.

Local cable TV, generally limited to foreigners, tourist hotels and restaurants, also has programming from the ESPN and FOX sports channels.

But Sunday’s Nationals-Braves matchup is the first time since 1961 that a full MLB game has been seen on the open airwaves, which is what most Cubans have access to.

It was not clear if Cuba got permission from Major League Baseball to broadcast the game. The Communistrun island routinely airs U.S. TV content, including sitcoms such as “Seinfeld” and crime dramas such as “CSI,” apparently without compensating American networks.

Washington and Havana have not had full diplomatic relations for more than five decades, and most commerce between the two countries is outlawed by the U.S. economic and financial embargo against Cuba.

“Baseball International” launched about four months ago and has shown professional play from leagues in South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Mexico and other Latin American nations.

Professional sports were deemed inconsistent with Marxist ideals and banned in Cuba two years after Fidel Castro’s 1959 revolution. But recently island athletics have been undergoing something of an opening.

Several Cuban ballplayers have been cleared to play professionally in Mexico in recent weeks. Meanwhile, defectors such as pitcher Jose Contreras and Golden Glove-winning shortstop Rey Ordonez visited the island in recent months, where they were met regularly by legions of fans.

A team of Cubans is set to play exhibition games in Miami and Tampa later this month, and the national squad is returning to the Caribbean Series after a 53-year absence.

First-place Pirates won’t rest on success

By CHRIS ADAMSKI The Associated Press PITTSBURGH – As the owner of the locker just to the right of the main entrance to the common area of the Pittsburgh Pirates clubhouse, Garrett Jones arguably has the best panoramic view among his teammates as he sits at his stall.

Since first establishing himself as a major-league regular with Pittsburgh three years ago, the players he sees when he surveys the clubhouse has changed dramatically.

So have the results.

The Pirates are the toast of baseball, owners of the majors’ best record at their precise midpoint of their season (51-30). Should they maintain that pace over the next three months, they would win 102 games just three seasons after the desultory 2010 Pirates lost 105.

Of course, they could win more than 102, as well, and it likely won’t be long before they officially guarantee a winning season – their first since 1992.

But it goes beyond numbers and historical roadblocks for this team. Jones believes, in addition to the new faces he encounters, there’s also a new attitude.

“There’s absolutely been a huge difference in confidence,” he said before a 2-1 Pittsburgh victory over the Milwaukee Brewers extended its winning streak to nine games Sunday. “When you’re losing, you kind of get caught

The Pirates’ Andrew McCutchen warms up in the on deck circle Sunday at PNC Park in Pittsburgh during a game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Pirates won, 2-1 in 14 innings, stretching their current winning streak to nine games. up in it and it gets ingrained in your head and sometimes it’s tough to get it out. Now, everything and everybody is positive. We just focus on, ‘We’re going to win, we can win, we will win.’ We just had to change that mind-set around and be confident in ourselves.

“And it’s shown on the field.”

Has it ever. The Pirates hold a two-game lead over the St. Louis Cardinals not only in the NL Central, but also in the race for the best record in baseball. Saturday, they became the first team to reach 50 wins – doing it before July 1 for the first time in the 127year history of the franchise.

That’s heady stuff for an organization – and a fan base – that has suffered through 20 consecutive losing seasons, a record for any North American major professional sports league.

“We’re over it. We don’t

want to hear any more of that,” veteran starting pitcher A.J. Burnett said. “I understand the frustration outside the locker room but we don’t even think about that. We think about the present and how good of a ballclub we are.”

Whether or not the Pirates’ pace of winning is sustainable through the end of the season is more in question in the context of collapses the past two years. It appeared the run of losing seasons could end in 2011 when the Pirates were 53-47 after 100 games – until they sputtered to a 19-43 finish to end with 90 losses, that is.

That late flop pales in comparison, however, to last season, when Pittsburgh topped out at 16 games over .500 as late as 110 games in – only to limp through a 16-36 stretch to end the campaign.

“But now you’ve just got everybody buying in,” Bur-

nett said. “You’ve got some new pieces to the puzzle that were added in the spring, and once everybody got settled in and everybody realized that the guys we got are 100 percent ‘in’ like everybody else, it seems to be we’re all clicking on the same cylinders.”

The 2010 Pirates – like so many before them within the franchise – were a young team lacking significant experience. That’s changed upon the addition of players such as pitchers Burnett, Wandy Rodriguez and Mark Melancon and catcher Russell Martin.

“The confidence comes from getting prepared out there, getting ready to go,” said Martin, who left the New York Yankees to sign a twoyear, $17 million contract this past winter. “It’s like you’re studying for a test and you’re not worried about the test, you studied for it. That’s the feeling I think we have.”

Maybe in 2011, first place – no matter the point of the season – was cause for elation.

Not now.

“It’s definitely something we notice and take pride in, but we’re nowhere near the finish line yet,” Jones said.

“We’re in a good spot, a good place we want to be, but we’ve got to keep it going.

“We’re not celebrating anything yet.”

Still, colloquial veteran manager Clint Hurdle encourages his players to “enjoy the scenery – while traveling down the road of a season.”

“There’s been a handful of a games – mile-markers along

way – that say, ‘You know what, we’ve got a chance to be special,’” Hurdle said. “’We’ve got a chance to do something special.’ ” Examples? Hurdle pointed to victories at Cincinnati, a division rival, June 20, when rookie journeyman Brandon Cumpton started, and bullpen aces Melancon and Jason Grilli were unavailable; and to three days later, at Anaheim vs. the Angels, when Pittsburgh scored three in the ninth and four in the 10th to win.

The Pirates also won a game that took more than 6½ hours to play – counting a rain delay – Sunday, with their bullpen tossing 10 shutout innings.

It’s victories like those that support a belief that these particular Pirates are the ones destined to exorcise two decades of frustration.

Pitcher Charlie Morton, though, isn’t buying into of that. He spent the first two months on the disabled list concluding recovery from Tommy John surgery and yearns to be part of a winner for the first time in his career.

“Everything that these guys have done has been earned,” Morton said. “I don’t see it as ‘things are going our way,’ or ‘we’re catching all the breaks.’ I don’t see that, you know?

“I see a team that’s fighting for every inch and earning every win. I wouldn’t classify it as luck. I wouldn’t.

Because that would be selling them short about what they’ve done so far.”

1903 — Washington outfielder Ed Delahanty went over a railroad bridge at Niagara Falls and drowned. The exact circumstances of his death never were determined.

1909 — The White Sox stole 12 bases, including home plate three times, in a 15-3 rout of the St. Louis Browns.

1930 — White Sox outfielder Carl Reynolds homered in the first, second and third innings, leading the Sox to a 15-4 win over the New York Yankees. Reynolds, the second player in history to hit home runs in three consecutive innings, had two inside-the-park homers.

1941 — Joe DiMaggio of the New York Yankees hit a home run to extend his consecutive game hitting streak to 45 games, surpassing Willie Keeler’s record of 44 straight games for the Orioles in 1897.

1963 — Juan Marichal of San Francisco beat Warren Spahn and the Milwaukee Braves 1-0 in 16 innings on Willie Mays’ homer.

2002 — A record 62 home runs were hit in the major leagues, breaking the mark of 57 set April 7, 2000. Raul Ibanez homered twice for Kansas City, making him the record ninth player to hit at least two in a game. San Francisco’s Damon Minor, Tsuyoshi Shinjo and Reggie Sanders each homered twice as the Giants became the 16th team to have three players with multiple homers in a game, an 18-5 win against Colorado.

2007 — Roger Clemens reached a rare milestone, pitching eight innings of two-hit ball to earn his 350th career win and lead the New York Yankees past Minnesota 5-1. Clemens became the first major leaguer to win 350 games since Hall of Famer Warren Spahn of the Milwaukee Braves accomplished the feat in 1963.

2009 — Houston Astros beat the Padres 7-2, but only after waiting out a 52-minute delay in the top of the ninth inning caused when a swarm of bees took over part of left field at San Diego’s Petco Park.

Defending champion Keselowski needs to hurry to make playoffs

Tuesday, July 2, 2013 • Page C5

FIVE-DAY PLANNER TEAM

IN THE PITS Jenna Fryer Tony Stewart’s defense of his 2005 championship doesn’t look so bad on paper, and it sure seemed to be soaring during his laborious celebratory fence-climb after his July win at Daytona.

It was his second win of the 2006 season, and it pushed him to fifth in the championship standings. Little did he know that hot summer night atop the flag stand would be his crowning achievement of the year.

Disastrous finishes in the next two races dropped Stewart to 11th in the standings with only seven races to recover. It was too big of a hole, and Stewart stunningly became the first defending NASCAR champion to miss the cut for the Chase for the championship in what was then a 10-driver field.

In true Stewart fashion, he didn’t go out with a whimper: Stewart won three of the 10 Chase races but wasn’t eligible to challenge Jimmie Johnson in what became the first of Johnson’s five consecutive Sprint Cup titles.

Now here we are, seven years later, and another defending champion is in a similar hole.

Brad Keselowski heads into Saturday night’s race at Daytona ranked 13th in the standings and winless this year. He’s got nine races left to claim a berth in the 12-driver field, and is among a handful of elite drivers jockeying for the final few spots in the Chase: • Keselowski: BK had three wins at this point last season but finds himself on the outside looking in after Sunday’s disappointment at Kentucky, where he had hoped to repeat last year’s victory. His problems Sunday started 48 laps in the race – so early that Keselowski said “there is no reason to drive like an animal” – when Kurt Busch drove on the apron, then shot back up the track into traffic and into Keselowski.

It created a messy accident that stopped the race for nearly 20 minutes, and it dropped Keselowski four spots in the standings to 13th.

To earn a Chase berth, he either needs to be ranked inside the top 10 in points, or needs wins to be eligible to claim one of two wild card spots.

Crew chief Paul Wolfe knew the ramifications the moment Busch hit the No. 2 Ford.

“We were just holding onto the top 10 there, and we were one bad race away from falling out,” he said after the race.

There is an upside to Keselowski’s situation. He is only 14 points behind 10th-place driver Joey Logano, his Penske Racing teammate. That’s not bad considering the No. 2 team has been docked 31 points this year in a pair of NASCAR penalties. If Keselowski still had those points he’d be ranked

eighth.

But he doesn’t have those points and has two months to make up the difference.

“We have struggled before as a team and we have worked through that and put ourselves in position to be champions,” Wolfe said.

“I think in the past we have not been shy of doing some different strategies to make things happen and over the next few weeks if we are not getting the finishes where we need to be then we will need to look at that over the last month closing into the Chase.”

• Busch: The 2004 champion is in the second year of trying to resurrect a career that fell apart when his anger issues cost him his job at Penske Racing. He’s doing it now with Furniture Row Racing, a single-car team that’s not supposed to challenge for a Chase berth.

But Busch is in decent shape at 14th in the standings and only 16 points out of 10th. He’s gotten there behind four finishes of seventh or better in the last six races, including Sunday, when he managed to come back from the early incident on the apron to finish sixth. All told, Busch has seven top-10 finishes this season and has climbed from six spots in the standings in three races.

“We came through when we needed to and had another good points day,” said Busch. “We’re creeping up in the points and need to avoid major slips in the next nine races.”

• Stewart: The three-time champion won at Dover last month and that victory is enough to make him eligible for a wild-card berth.

But his situation is shaky because he’s tied with Aric Almirola for 16th in the standings and he could find himself locked out. It’s a real possibility considering Martin Truex Jr. and Greg Biffle, who have one win each, aren’t securely inside the top 10 and Kasey Kahne is 11th with just one victory.

Working against Stewart is that he really hasn’t been running all that well this season. The No. 14 team had only one top-10 finish before Memorial Day. He was seventh at Charlotte and won at Dover

for his first back-to-back top-10s all year. He carried the momentum into Pocono and Michigan with a pair of top-fives and he’d suddenly climbed from 21st in the standings to 10th.

But the last two weeks have been two steps back, with a 28th at Sonoma and a 20th-place finish Sunday.

“Not the greatest showing, but we did what we could with it,” he shrugged.

• Denny Hamlin: He’s never missed the Chase since his 2006 rookie season, but time is running out on Hamlin’s comeback story this year.

In fairness, a compression fracture in a vertebra in his lower back sidelined him for four races and likely cost him any chance at the Chase, anyway. But he returned determined to grab a wild-card. He finished second at Darlington in his first full race back, then won the pole at Charlotte and finished fourth to go from 31st in points to 24th.

He won the pole the next week at Dover, but a crash ended his streak of top-five finishes. He was also wrecked at Sonoma and had a hard hit Sunday at Kentucky.

Now he’s 25th in points and must win over the next nine weeks to keep his Chase hopes going. At this stage, it will likely take him at least two wins to make it happen.

Team owner Joe Gibbs dismissed talk of Hamlin getting out of the car anytime soon to fully heal, insisting the goal is to salvage the season.

“I think Denny wants to stay after it, and we have a chance to get some wins,” Gibbs said. “Who knows what’s going to happen? We could get hot. I know he’ll be the favorite at several of these racetracks we have down the stretch over these next nine weeks. Who knows? Maybe a miracle in there.

You can’t have a great comeback unless you’re behind, so we’ll just go after it and do the best we can.

He’s got a good attitude and we’ll keep swinging.”

SOCCER: CONFEDERATIONS CUP

Blatter: Tournament a ‘success’ despite unrest in streets

By ROB HARRIS The Associated Press RIO DE JANEIRO – FIFA President Sepp Blatter on Monday called the Confederations Cup a success despite clashes between police and protesters near some matches.

While host nation Brazil was de-

ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE

Commish: No plans for more expansion

By RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press NEW YORK – The Atlantic Coast Conference is now a 15team league – and it might just stay that way for a while.

After commissioner John Swofford welcomed Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Notre Dame to the ACC at a news conference at the NASDAQ stock exchange in Manhattan, he said further expansion isn’t on the agenda.

“It’s not a topic of conversation for us John right now,” he Swofford said. “I would not anticipate it being in the future, but we’ll see. I don’t predict the future much anymore, I’ve learned better. But it’s not something that’s on the table for discussion in our league right now.”

Swofford was joined at the news conference by Florida State football coach Jimbo Fisher, Virginia Tech football coach Frank Beamer, Notre Dame basketball coach Mike Brey, Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim and former Pittsburgh great and now Arizona Cardinals star receiver Larry Fitzgerald. The group then took part in a closing bell ceremony at the stock market.

The ACC even brought the mascots to Times Square for an event it dubbed #ACCtakeNYC on Twitter. The fuzzy crew of costumed characters was bouncing around Manhattan on Sunday, posting pictures on Twitter from various tourist attractions.

The ACC does have one more lineup change scheduled for next year, when Maryland leaves for the Big Ten and Louisville joins.

The Cardinals were picked to replace the Terrapins ahead of Cincinnati and Connecticut.

Both of those schools lobbied the ACC to be next out of the Big East and both remain in the newly renamed American Athletic Conference.

If the ACC ever does decide to go to 17 members – 16 for football as Notre Dame will remain an independent in its flagship sport – Cincinnati and Connecticut would make geographic sense and fit in perfectly with what is shaping up to be the most formidable basketball conference in the country. Syracuse and Pittsburgh have been perennial top-20 basketball programs in recent years, and Louisville is the defending NCAA champion.

“From an athletic perspective, I think it’s more than fair to say this is the strongest collection of basketball programs that has ever been assembled in one conference,” Swofford said.

“And our potential from a football standpoint is truly unlimited.”

On the football side, Louisville is coming off one of its most successful seasons, capped by a victory against Florida in the Sugar Bowl. Syracuse and Pittsburgh haven’t been made much noise nationally in football for most of the last decade, though Fisher said ACC football is better with the arrival of the Panthers and Orange this year and Cardinals next.

“You’re talking about a league that can compete for national championships,” said Fisher, whose Seminoles are the defending ACC champions and finished No. 10 in the country last season.

feating Spain, 3-0, in Sunday’s final of the 2014 World Cup warmup tournament, police officers were unleashing tear gas canisters and stun grenades outside Rio de Janeiro’s Maracana Stadium.

Blatter said he was “not going to discuss” police actions to repel protests outside some of the stadiums the

last two weeks.

“Thanks to all those who have helped to make this competition such a success despite ... of all this unrest and protests,” Blatter said.

“I am happy to come to the conclusion now, with the sporting results and also – with at least the impression that – the social unrest is now

resting. I don’t know how long, but it is now resting.”

Many of Brazil’s anti-government protesters were angered at the lack of investment in public services compared with the billions of dollars being spent on next year’s World Cup. “Football is connecting people in the stadia and connecting people out-

side the stadia and ... I am sure that we will have a wonderful World Cup next year,” Blatter said at a news conference.

“When you have next year the World Cup, or you have the Olympic Games here (in 2016), you can never make everybody happy. We tried to make everyone happy.”

STRANGEGRU Laughs – and minions – follow unlikely hero in ‘Despicable Me 2’ “Despicable Me 2”

HHH

STARRING: Voices of Steve Carell, Kristin Wiig, Miranda Cosgrove, Benjamin Bratt

PLOT: A spy agency recruits retired supervillain Gru (Carell)

By JEFFREY WESTHOFF Sequels often present conundrums for filmmakers. For example, how can you call a movie “Despicable Me 2” when the hero is no longer despicable?

The answer is you just do it anyway and hope nobody considers it a problem. And if Gru, the reformed supervillain again voiced by Steve Carell, is no longer evil, he is still impolite. Hearing Carell grumble in his invented Eastern European accent about how his neighbors are a bunch of morons carries a satisfying humor of its own.

Having retired from trying to conquer the world, Gru has settled

to track down a criminal mastermind who has stolen a nasty virus. Gru’s three adopted daughters hope to set him up with his new spy partner (Wiig).

RATED: PG for rude humor and mild action RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 38 minutes down to raise the three little girls he adopted in the first movie. His massive underground base has been transformed into a jelly factory. The macaronishaped Minions happily go along with Gru’s switch to legitimate businessman, but his technical wizard, Dr. Nefario (Russell Brand), misses being evil. His name probably has something to do with it.

Then, in a setup reminiscent of “The Incredibles,” Gru is tempted out of retirement by a spy agency called the Anti-Villain League. This rockets

“Incredible Me 2” into the realm of James Bond parody, with a submarine car from “The Spy Who Loved Me” and a volcanic ending that cannot be anything but an homage to “You Only Live Twice.” The villain’s attack chicken is a new element, though.

The Anti-Villain League needs Gru’s insider knowledge to capture an unknown mastermind who has stolen a virus that transforms cuddly animals into rampaging purple monsters. The agency has tracked the enemy to a shopping mall and believes he is operating one of the stores as a front.

Gru is sent undercover to manage a cupcake shop in the mall and spy on the other proprietors.

He isn’t pleased to be saddled with a partner, rookie agent Lucy Wild (Kristen Wiig), not sensing she has a crush on him.

‘The Lone Ranger’ is a runaway train

By JAKE COYLE The Associated Press There’s a limit, it turns out, to how much Johnny Depp and a bucket of makeup can accomplish.

In “The Lone Ranger,” Gore Verbinski’s flamboyant re-imagination of the hokey longrunning radio show and ’50s cowboy TV series, Depp eagerly tries to recreate the extravagant magic of his similarly farcical Jack Sparrow of Verbinski’s “Pirates of the Caribbean.”

With cracked white and black streaks down his face and a dead crow atop his head, Depp’s Tonto (whose look makeup artist Joel Harlow took from the Kirby Sattler painting “I Am Crow”) appears more witch doctor than warrior. One would think that a so-costumed Depp careening through the Old West with Buster Keaton aplomb would make “The Long Ranger,” at worst, entertaining.

But Verbinski’s film, stretching hard to both reinvent an out-of-date brand and breathe new life in the Western with a desperate onslaught of bloated set pieces, is a poor locomotive for Depp’s eccentric theatrics. For 2½ hours, the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced “Lone Ranger” inflates, subverts and distorts the conven-

“The Lone Ranger”

H½

STARRING: Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer, William Fichtner PLOT: Native American warrior Tonto recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid, a man of the law, into a legend of justice.

RATED: PG-13 for sequences of intense action and violence, and some suggestive material RUNNING TIME: 2 hours, 29 minutes tions of the Western until, in an interminable climax, the big-budget spectacle finally, exhaustingly collapses in a scrap heap of train wreckage.

“The Long Ranger” is, alas, a runaway train. A filmmaker of great excess, Verbinski’s ricocheting whimsy here runs off the rails.

Flashback-heavy plot mechanics, occasionally grim violence (bullets land in bodies with the loudest of thwacks, a heart gets eaten) and surrealistic comedy add up to a confused tone.

Hammer becomes leading man

By SANDY COHEN The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – If it weren’t for the movie “Home Alone,” Armie Hammer might not be starring in “The Lone Ranger.” Seeing the 1990 Macaulay Culkin hit inspired Hammer to become an actor.

“I had a dream that night that I was the kid in the house with the blowtorch and all that stuff and thinking, ‘This is awesome! I love acting!’” said Hammer, recalling the thoughts of his 11-year-old self. “I knew this was for me. It was the only thing I wanted to do.”

He convinced his parents to let him quit high school to pursue his dream, and now the 26-year-old actor is playing one of the most revered American characters in a big-budget blockbuster starring Johnny Depp.

After a bumpy start that included a brief return to school, he already counts Clint Eastwood, Leonardo DiCaprio, Julia Roberts and David Fincher among his past collaborators. Hammer gained notice playing the Winklevoss twins in 2010’s celebrated “The Social Network.” Then he earned a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for his supporting role in 2011’s “J.Edgar.”

But with “The Lone Ranger,”

Armie Hammer takes on his first major leading-man role opposite Johnny Depp in “The Lone Ranger,” out Wednesday. the actor steps squarely into the spotlight with his first bona fide leading-man role.

“It’s like I can’t believe I’ve been this lucky,” Hammer says with a sincerity belied by his football-captain good looks.

Though he auditioned for the part several times, director Gore Verbinski knew immediately he’d found his Lone Ranger.

“When I first met him, I

just knew he was the guy,” said Verbinski, who likened Hammer to “somebody who’s a little out-of-time, like seeing Gary Cooper walk into a supermarket or something.”

“He’s like this classical leading man, and that’s not to say that he isn’t contemporary,” the director continued.

“Armie’s tall, handsome, and genuine, and who doesn’t want to throw that into a meat grinder?”

Hammer plays lawman John Reid and Depp is Tonto in this origin story of how the Lone Ranger came to wear his mask.

To prepare for the role, Hammer spent months immersed in all the “Lone Ranger” radio and TV episodes and books and comics he could find, and perfected his gun-slinging and horseriding skills at a three-week “cowboy camp.”

Verbinski, Depp should have stopped at ‘Rango’ • LONE RANGER Continued from page D1 It seems uncertain exactly how to position Depp’s Tonto in the movie, to say nothing of Armie Hammer’s wayward Lone Ranger.

The film begins with an elderly, leathery Tonto (also Depp, nearly unrecognizable) at a 1933 San Francisco fair where, under a sign labeled “noble savage,” the old Native American regales a young, masked Lone Rangerfan (Mason Cook) about his adventures with John Reid (Hammer).

Previously the sidekick, Tonto plays the starring role in the story, narrating a tall tale of his coming together with Reid, a district attorney

who arrives in the frontier town of Colby, Texas, with high ideals of justice and a copy of John Locke’s “Treatise on Government” under his arm.

The lawman is made a Texas Ranger when the criminal Butch Cavendish (William Fichtner, ashen and sinister) escapes. The pursuit takes on urgency when Cavendish massacres the rest of the Rangers (including Reid’s brother, played by James Badge Dale), leaving Reid and Tonto to navigate a familiar mid-19th century Old West – the coming railroad, mining development and Indian warfare – with familiar types like the intrepid tycoon Latham Cole (Tom Wilkinson) and a one-legged madam (Helena Bonham

Carter).

Stepping into Clayton Moore’s boots, the tall, baritone Hammer never looks at ease. While he exudes theLone Ranger’s earnest wholesomeness, he’s understandably an uncertain straight man alongside Depp’s slapstick. Having to wear a white Stetson and mask in his first starring role feels like yet another humiliation for the Winklevoss twins Hammer memorably played in “The Social Network.”

The most laudable aspect of “The Lone Ranger” is that it attempts to dispel and mock Hollywood’s past Native American ills. Depp, who has claimed he has some Cherokee ancestry, delights in upending false images of Indian mysticism, all the

while tossing bird seed to the dead crow on his head.

But “The Lone Ranger,” which was made with much of the “Pirates” team including screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, along with “Revolutionary Road” adapter Justin Haythe, can only be filed alongside “Cowboys and Aliens” and “Wild, Wild West” as ornate films that are so nervous about the modern appeal of the Western that they ruin it by impulsively overstuffing it. The Coen brothers’ “True Grit” and the 2007 remake of “3:10 to Yuma” better understood the genre’s inherent terseness.

When Verbinski was last directing and Depp was a cartoon lizard, they crafted a far better Western in “Rango.”

The idea of a villain using a shopping mall for a lair and the prospect of Gru and the Minions trying to make cupcakes are rife with comic potential, but the filmmakers do little with either possibility.

Gru locks on to a suspect immediately, Eduardo (Benjamin Bratt), owner of the Mexican restaurant. He is certain Eduardo was once the masked villain El Macho, who apparently died years ago while riding an explosive-laden shark into an active volcano.

Amid all the spy stuff, romance is in the air. Gru’s three girls want to set him up on a date, which annoys him.

But Gru really blows his stack when the bespectacled oldest girl, Margo (“iCarly” star Miranda Cosgrove), swoons over her first crush, Eduardo’s smooth-talking son, Antonio (Moises Arias).

“Despicable Me 2” suffers one problem common to sequels, namely that the freshness found in the original cannot be recaptured. Otherwise, there is no drop in quality. The same creative team – writers Ken Daurio and Cinco Paul and directors Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud – returns, guaranteeing more snazzy visuals and terrific humor. Even the scenery conveys Gru’s awkward transition to fatherhood.

Just the sight of a pink plastic playhouse in the front yard of Gru’s “Addams Family” home scores a laugh.

Much of the comedy is slapstick, and much of the slapstick is provided by the horde of gibberish-spouting, violence-prone Minions. Why settle for three stooges when

you can have 300? The Minions are the most perfectly realized comic cartoon creations in ages, probably since Sebastian the crab from “The Little Mermaid,” and “Despicable Me 2” could have overdosed on the crazy creatures. But the Minions don’t get that much more play than they did in the first movie.

As in the original, the voice cast is exceptional. Carell’s accent for Gru is genius, and he gets a superb romantic interest in Wiig’s enthusiastic Lucy.

Wiig returns after playing the vile orphanage administrator in the first movie.

Bratt delivers an effusive comic performance under what must have been pressing circumstances. He was a last-minute replacement for Al Pacino, who recorded the role of Eduardo then dropped out over those familiar “creative differences.” My guess is those creative differences went something like this: “That was fine, Mr. Pacino, but could gives us a little less on that line. Maybe take it down about 8 decibels.

The microphone can handle only so much gusto.”

Unlike “Monsters University,” “Despicable Me 2” is not being released in 3-D because the market demands all computer-animated movies be in 3-D. Coffin and Renaud revel in the third dimension and integrate it into the comedy. They don’t simply throw objects at the camera. They pull the audience into the action, and “Despicable Me 2” becomes a delightful carnival ride.

This sequel is almost as much fun as the riotous original while tugging a bit at your heart because Gru is a misunderstood sweetheart and his girls are adorable. And so are the Minions.

Husband wanting good loving Full recovery from stroke should be good lover himself possible with treatment

Dear Abby: I’ll bet you’ve gotten a ton of mail about “Mike in Missouri” (March 15), who was worried about his wife’s declining sex drive.

While your point about hormone levels is a good one, it could be something simpler than that.

I am a wife who would love to have sex more often, but I’m TIRED! I work full time and do most of the household chores. I also do most of the cooking.

When my husband heads up to the bedroom at 10 o’clock and gives me that “come hither look,” I’m not in the mood for sex. I’m thinking about the two loads of laundry and the sink full of dishes that still need to be done. Or I’m trying to remember whether I signed that permission slip for our daughter and making a mental note about picking up my prescriptions on the way to a client meeting in the morning.

Speaking of prescriptions, is Mike’s wife perhaps on birth control pills? Those can decrease a woman’s sex drive. I took a particular pill for a year before realizing how much it killed my desire.

My doctor changed the prescription. Although there’s a big difference, I’m still too tired to do much about it most days.

However, my husband has figured out I have more energy in the mornings, so his timing is better on those “come hither looks.” Now if I

mind-blowing for me was when I felt the most loved by my husband. The way he treats me has changed over the years, and lately I’m so turned off I can no longer physically respond to him.

Often, a woman loses interest in sex because her partner makes her feel like he has lost interest in HER. At the beginning of a relationship, both people do special things for each other to show their affection. These are the things women need.

To continue feeling loved, each woman has different emotional needs that can stay the same or evolve as life’s circumstances change.

The bottom line is, if men want their wives to want them physically, they need to learn what their wives want emotionally – and then do a lot of it. Pay attention to her, communicate, make her a priority. I’m amazed so many men don’t understand how enormous the payoff would be if they made the effort to make their wives feel they are still special. – Outta Here

sharing. And you’re right – readers wasted no time flooding my office with comments on this topic: Dear Abby: After conversations with women of all ages, I have concluded that more often than not, it is the husband who has caused the wife’s sex drive to diminish, not hormones or other physical problems.

Ask Mike how he treats his wife on a daily basis; whether he has habits or hygiene that are off-putting; whether he indulges in pornography; whether he has taken care of his health and appearance. After 17 years, is he a good lover?

Many women are as dissatisfied with their sex lives as their complaining husbands are. Anyone who wants to have a satisfying sex partner needs to BE one. –

Dear Dr. K: My father just had a lacunar stroke. I’ve never even heard of this.

What can you tell me about it?

Dear Reader: The most common kind of strokes, called ischemic strokes, happen when an artery supplying oxygen-rich blood to a part of the brain is blocked.

This leads to the death of some brain cells. Many strokes are caused by blockages of the largest arteries in the brain.

A lacunar stroke involves smaller arteries deep in the brain that branch off the large arteries. Because the arteries are smaller, the amount of brain tissue they feed is smaller than the amount fed by the large arteries. Still, lacunar strokes can cause significant disability. (I’ve put an illustration of the areas of the brain affected by lacunar stroke on my website.)

The smaller arteries deep in the brain are vulnerable because they branch directly off of a high-pressure main artery. As a result, high blood pressure can directly damage the walls of these arteries. High blood pressure also can damage the walls of larger arteries and

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff help stimulate the growth of plaques of atherosclerosis, which can block blood flow.

The symptoms of lacunar stroke vary depending on the part of the brain that is deprived of its blood supply. Symptoms may affect the ability to feel things, to move, to see, to speak, and one’s balance and coordination. If a person has multiple lacunar strokes, this can affect emotional behavior and lead to dementia.

Full recovery is possible with early treatment. Ideally, doctors would be able to administer a clot-dissolving medication within three hours after symptoms start.

If blood supply is interrupted for longer, there may be more brain damage. In this case, symptoms may last for many weeks or months, requiring physical rehabilitation. There may be permanent disability.

The first person I ever cared for after a lacunar stroke just noticed his writing hand was suddenly clumsy. Fortunately, there

were no other symptoms, and the clumsiness gradually improved with physical therapy.

What probably happens when people recover from the symptoms of a stroke is some new brain cells grow to take the places of some of the cells that were killed. We used to think this couldn’t happen, but now research has showed us it can. Probably more important, other brain cells that are sitting around with not enough to do learn to take on the jobs of the brain cells that were killed by the stroke.

Your father must control his risk factors to prevent another stroke. He probably will need to take a daily aspirin or other blood-thinning medication. He should control his blood pressure and heart disease with lifestyle changes and medication.

Exercising regularly, eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, and avoiding saturated fats and cholesterol will help.

If he smokes, he should quit.

If he has diabetes, he should control his blood sugar.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

Herbert Beerbohm Tree, an English actor and theater manager who died in 1917, said, “A committee should consist of three men, two of whom are absent.”

So, a male bridge declarer is a committee. In this deal, how should the committee play in three notrump after West leads the heart jack?

Most authorities recommend not using Stayman when responder has 4-3-3-3 distribution with a four-card major. And that will be right most of the time. However, when there is a 4-4 it and opener has 4-4-3-2 distribution, the suit in which the partnership has only ive cards could prove to be a fatal weakness. (Note that in this deal four spades has no chance, but if West had a second spade, it would be makable.)

South starts with eight top tricks: one spade, three hearts, two diamonds and two clubs. His order of business is to collect a second spade trick. And there is a guaranteed line of play. After taking the irst trick, declarer should cash his spade ace.

Here, the queen drops from West, so South continues with a spade to dummy’s

jack. But if the ace collects only low cards, declarer still plays another spade and must eventually establish that second winner.

Note that initially playing a spade to the 10 is fatal here. The tempting inesse must be deleted from the agenda.

Finally, here is another question: Suppose South needs three spade tricks.

What should he do?

Now it is correct to play low to the 10 on the irst round. And if it loses to the queen or king, South next cashes his ace. He has a paltry 37 percent chance of success.
