Family mourns fallen bicyclist Tour de Farms participant dies in DeKalb County, organization plans to retire his number By AL LAGATTOLLA alagattolla@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Organizers plan to retire the jersey number of a longtime Bike MS Tour de Farms participant who died during the weekend’s event in DeKalb County. Those close to him described Jeff Ruhl as active and athletic. His stepdaughter described “magical” trips to Michigan, with Ruhl teaching everyone how to water ski and making those on the visit feel relaxed. “You can’t not have fun Photo provided when you were around him,” Jeff Ruhl (right) poses with Joe Kresach (left) and Marko Dumlija (cen- his stepdaughter, Meg Cronin ter) at the Northern Illinois University Convocation Center in DeKalb said, adding, “he was such an before the Tour de Farms charity event.

Charles resident, died Sunday while participating in the Bike MS Tour de Farms event in DeKalb County. DeKalb County Coroner Denny Miller said Ruhl was taken to Kishwaukee Hospital, where he later died. Joe Kresach was in the event. Kresach, a friend of Ruhl’s, is on the same team – LoBaMa. He said all seemed well with Ruhl at the event, adding Ruhl was in good spir-

its and was laughing at the event. Kresach said there is a steep hill coming out of the second rest area, and several in his group were able to get past the hill, but Ruhl was a little behind. Not long after that, they heard Ruhl got to the top of the hill and collapsed. They went back to try to help their friend. “We were just trying to call out to him to bring him back,” Kresach said. The Greater Illinois Chapter of the National MS Society released a statement after Ruhl’s death. “Our sympathies and support are with the family who is coping with the grief of this unfortunate tragedy,” the statement reads. “Jeff was a long-

time participant in Bike MS and member of team LoBaMa, and we plan to honor his memory by retiring his jersey number next year.” Cyclists between the second and third rest stop were held at the second rest stop during the emergency. Ruhl was married to Pat Ruhl, and he had three stepchildren, Cronin, her sister, Erin, and brother, Kyle. Cronin said he also was close to a nephew, Devon Horne. She said there will be a gathering in Ruhl’s honor from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday at The Office, 201 E. Main St., St. Charles. “He lived a really quality

Local schools face funding issue

By SARA BURNETT and JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Illinois’ Republican governor and the state’s largest employee union moved Monday to avoid a partial government shutdown, with the union saying members will continue to show up for work even if the state begins operating without a budget and the governor pledging to do what he can to ensure they don’t miss a paycheck. But a new fight appeared to be taking shape between Gov. Bruce Rauner – typically seen as an enemy of organized labor – and the Democratic attorney general, who said workers can’t be paid until the governor and Democrats Gov. Bruce who run the Legislature pass Rauner a new budget. The back-and-forth is the latest in a months-long fight between Rauner and majority Democrats over how to resolve Illinois’ massive financial problems and – more recently – who will take the blame if state government Lisa Madigan begins grinding to a halt and critical services are cut off. The two sides have been deadlocked over how to eliminate a deficit that’s the largest of any state in the U.S. Illinois already is billions behind in paying its bills and has the nation’s worst-funded state pensions, with a more than $100 billion shortfall. Without a new budget in place by the Wednesday start of the new fiscal year, some 65,000 employees face the prospect of missing paychecks starting in mid-July. That raised fears workers would stay home and some government operations would cease. Gov. Bruce Rauner worked to alleviate those concerns, saying in a memo sent to state workers and provided to The Associated Press that “State employees will be paid for their work.” “I will do everything within my power,” he continued. “Our lawyers are working hard to ensure that all employees will be paid on their scheduled pay dates.” But Attorney General Lisa Madigan, whose father is the Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan, said a 25-yearold appellate court decision flatly stated that cutting checks without an approved fiscal plan violates the Illinois Constitution. “Even a court cannot order all of these payments to be made,” Lisa Madigan said. The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31 said its employees will remain on the job and the union also is looking at its legal options.

Not counting on cash

Local school officials take wait-and-see approach to state funding bill By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN bkeeperman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – A new school spending plan signed into law by Gov. Bruce Rauner last week could mean about $450,000 more in general state aid for DeKalb-based District 428, District Superintendent Doug Moeller said. Like many local school leaders, however, Moeller has learned to be skeptical about whether those funds actually will be paid out throughout the school year. “What’s happened before is we get payments throughout the year, and at the end, we just don’t get that last payment due to budget shortfalls,” Moeller said. “So Monica Synett file photo – msynett@shawmedia.com Fourth-grader Anthawn Sanders watches a show about Down syndrome and we err on the side of caution.” Recent legislation will result in autism put on by Sycamore High School’s Kids on the Block puppeteers May 7 local schools receiving hundreds

of thousands more in general state aid this school year, but DeKalb County school districts have budgeted conservatively, school officials said. On Wednesday, Rauner signed a small part of the Illinois budget for fiscal 2016, which begins July 1. House Bill 3763 will help fund public schools in Illinois. Under the budget plan, the state will pay out 92 percent of the “foundation” level for aid to school districts, which has been unchanged since 2010. Rather than vote to reduce this foundation level, the state has prorated the aid it pays out to school districts in each of the past four years. District 428 officials are planning to receive about 89 percent of

Historical markers highlight county’s heritage DeKALB COUNTY LIFE Barry Schrader DeKalb County has a rich history of agriculture and innovation, something that becomes more evident each time another historical marker is installed and dedicated. Such was the case earlier this month, when the Marsh Harvester state historical marker was unveiled in Sycamore outside the brick building at Blumen Gardens on Edward Street that once housed the Marsh Brothers factory started here in 1869. Speakers on that occasion lauded Charles and William Marsh for their creativity and entrepreneurial spirit. State Rep. Bob Pritchard spoke of farmers always being great innovators and expressed hope that this will continue with future generations. Larry Mix, president of the DeKalb Area Agricultural Heritage Association that sponsored the marker, said these historical plaques are meant to inspire the next generation to be innovators by showing them what has been done. Sycamore Mayor Ken Mundy took the time to research the past city council minutes from 1875 so he could share the history of the early days. He said, “If you weren’t on a river or a railroad line you probably didn’t survive.” Sycamore was fortunate to have an early rail line that

Shark experts have a not-so-reassuring explanation for a recent spate of attacks along on the coast of the Carolinas: It’s mainly because so many people are getting in the water. Six shark attacks were recorded in June in North Carolina waters, and the two most recent victims had to be flown to a hospital in Virginia for treatment. That’s more than North Carolina has recorded in any single year dating to 2000. But it’s all a matter of perspective, said George Burgess, director of the Florida Program for Shark Research. There were 28 attacks reported in Florida in 2014. So far this year, there have been 11 shark attacks there, with eight of those in neighboring

Mundy added that a contract was signed between the city and Marshes that created a city water system which would provide fire protection for their building and it was the first public-private partnership of its kind locally. Other speakers included Joel Barczak, who owns Blumen Gardens, and Ann Koski, whose late father, Lauri Koski, donated money for the marker. Jim Stoddard, the chairman of the project, explained his ties to the Marsh family when he said he now owns the Italianate brick home of William Marsh on West State Street, which is on the National Register of Historical Places. This is the fourth in a series of markers designed and dedicated by DAAHA, along with the Illinois State

Historical Society that was represented at the event by ISHS vice president Stuart Fliege. They plan to erect two more later this year to commemorate the world famous winged ear advertising logo and the Jacob Haish barbed wire connection. DeKalb County is fortunate to have more than 30 historical markers and monuments which each highlight a significant event, structure or person from our history. By perusing the book “Acres of Change” in your local library or purchasing one for you family, you can discover how to find each marker. It would make a nice summer outing to take a drive around northern, central and southern DeKalb County (on three separate weekends) to read each inscription and realize how much notable history exists right here in our area. Some

sites even have picnic tables or nearby parks and forest preserves where you can enjoy lunch along the way. How many Civil War cannons are located in local cemeteries, where is the log cabin built in 1835 still standing, and exactly where does the Kishwaukee River begin (a hint, it’s in two places)? During the remainder of summer you can drive to the Genoa-Kingston area, Cortland, Sandwich, Waterman and Shabbona to find the answers. Let me know when you visit them all.

Brevard and Volusia counties. Volusia is home to Daytona Beach, which is often packed with tourists. “Obviously that’s a much smaller area than the area of North Carolina that’s been affected, from the southern border up to Cape Hatteras,” Burgess said. “... Those eight attacks have not generated much more than passing interest here in Florida.” Americans made 2.2 billion visits to beaches in 2010, up from 2 billion in 2001, according to a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers estimate. “We’re basically flooding them out of their own home. It’s a function of how many people we’ve got,” Burgess said. “You get this unholy mix of bait fish, sharks and humans together. When you have that, you’re going to have some bites.” Other reasons vary. For

one, people may be more likely to report minor attacks given the widespread use of cellphones and social media. Roger Rulifson, a distinguished professor of biology and senior scientist at East Carolina University, said that there have been reports of small bait fish coming closer to shore this summer, which attracts sharks. There also have been reports of larger numbers of sea turtles along the coast, which sharks also like to eat, he said. Rulifson said he recently vacationed at Ocean Isle Beach, where there’s already been one reported shark bite, and was unintentionally catching small black tip sharks with minnows on an inlet on the island’s west end. “This is the time of year when a number of these sharks to come in to pup, or spawn, so it’s very possible

that’s one reason they might be close to shore,” he said. Rulifson said one of his graduate students has also done research showing that bull sharks, which can be one of the more aggressive shark breeds found off the Carolinas, have been able to create a nursery in the Pamlico Sound off the Outer Banks each year since 2011. Each attack is also unique, and it’s highly unlikely there’s any one dangerous shark roaming the coast, especially given the extensive geographic area in which they’ve occurred, said Fred Scharf, professor of fisheries biology at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. “There’s just more food in the water for sharks to feed on this time of year in the near-shore ocean,” Scharf said.

likely are numerous variations on the drawing table. Depending on the option picked by Obama, the U.S. military could call on a wide range of forces in such an attack, including one or more aircraft carriers, a full array of fighters, bombers and other combat aircraft stationed in or near the Middle East, and special operations forces that might be used to rescue downed pilots or enter Iran on sabotage or other secret missions. Iran has a substantial air defense system – and Russia earlier this year lifted its self-imposed ban on sales to Iran of the advanced S-300

air defense missile. But even after Iranian deployment of such missiles, Obama says U.S. warplanes could penetrate Iranian airspace. Israel itself also has made threatening noises, but the odds of unilateral military action seem slim: The Jewish state lacks the Americans’ ability to destroy facilities deep underground, is vulnerable due to its small territory, and would risk undercutting the international pressure on Iran for a relatively small return.

Could the world ratchet up the sanctions?

It seems the world is not

prepared to truly bring Iran to its knees by shutting off the flow of capital and goods. That would involve a tremendously expensive and politically explosive land and sea blockade as well as a militarily enforced no-fly zone across a country 2∏ times the size of Texas. That leaves stiffer sanctions as the only realistic way to pressure Tehran economically. But even that could be a tough sell outside the U.S. The Iranian people who would suffer are largely captive, and some countries, like China, India and Japan, still depend on diminished but still significant exports of Iranian oil.

Waterman man charged with street racing, DUI By KATIE SMITH ksmith@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Two men were taken to the hospital Sunday after a crash in which police say at least one driver was street racing while intoxicated. Brandon J. Wade, 26, of the 1100 block of Waterman Road in Waterman, was charged with aggravated driving under the influence, aggravated driving with a suspended license, aggravated reckless driving and street racing. The most serious charge, aggravated DUI, is punishable by one to three years in prison. DeKalb police responded

to a report of a crash near the intersection of Seventh Street and Fairview Road where they found two vehicles off the road. Witnesses said the cars were racing south on Seventh and driving faster than the 30 mph Brandon J. speed limit, Wade court records show. Both cars crossed the intersection of Fairview and Seventh, where they hit the curb, went airborne, and landed facing south on Fairview, court records show. Witnesses identified Wade

as the driver of one of the vehicles, but Wade denied having driven, court records show. The second driver told police he was driving his car, but said he was going the speed limit. He was not charged. Wade refused to take a breathalyzer test after failing field sobriety tests, according to court records. At the time of the crash, Wade’s license was suspended in connection with DUI charges filed in January, court records show. Wade’s bond was set at $10,000, and he was released Monday after posting $1,000 bail. His next court date is set for July 1.

It seems to be unrelenting: More rain is forecast for later this week in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan, “possibly a lot,” National Weather Service hydrologist Mark Fuchs said Monday. “It’s a very wet late spring, early summer, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to end anytime soon,” he said. Buyouts since the massive flood of 1993 have removed

thousands of homes from the floodplains of the Midwest, but the flooding has closed hundreds of roads and swamped thousands of acres of farmland. Parts of Missouri saw nearly 2 inches of rain over the weekend. St. Louis has received 13.1 inches of rain this month, 9 inches above normal and setting a June record with two days left in the month. It’s also the second-wettest of any month since official record-keeping began in 1874; in first place is 14.78 inches in August 1946. Flood-weary towns scrambled to protect property. In southeast Missouri, dozens of people fled Dutchtown and Allenville as the Mississippi

River neared a crest of 12 feet above flood stage. In northeast Missouri, the Fabius River spiked 10 feet above flood stage, topping sandbags on a levee and forcing about 100 residents of a mobile home park to evacuate in Taylor. The storms also brought severe weather, with three tornadoes touching down Sunday about 70 miles northwest of St. Louis and a possible one in a St. Louis suburb. Other rivers were overflowing, too. The Illinois River was around 10 feet above flood stage at several points in central Illinois, flooding roads and a few businesses in places such as Beardstown, Meredosia and Peoria.

GOP candidate Bush recalls removing Confederate flag from Florida Capitol By BILL BARROW The Associated Press WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. – Campaigning in South Carolina, where residents still are reeling from a white gunman’s massacre of nine black churchgoers, Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush told voters Monday he removed the Confederate battle flag from the Florida Capitol grounds in 2001 when he was governor. Bush told about 100 employees of a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant outside Columbia that the banner has been a “racist symbol” in “recent, modern times,” although “not perhaps at the beginning.” He said he brought up the flag in an earlier, private meeting Monday with dozens of black pastors. Bush made his first campaign appearance since 21-year-old Dylann Storm Roof was charged with killing the pastor and eight parishioners at Charleston’s historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Photos distributed since the killings show the alleged gunman flaunting the battle flag. Authorities say Roof admitted he wanted to start a race war. Bush did not bring up the murders or the flag until he was asked about the matter by an employee of Nephron Pharmaceuticals. He praised South

Republican presidential candidate and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush speaks Saturday in Henderson, Nev. Bush wants voters to know he’s on the side of those calling for the Confederate flag to come down from public places, noting his decision to remove it from the Florida Capitol grounds in 2001 when he was governor.

This photo shows the gurney in the execution chamber in 2014 at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester, Okla. On Monday, The Supreme Court voted 5-4 in a case from Oklahoma saying that the sedative midazolam can be used in executions without violating the Eighth Amendment prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment.

Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley for her call to lower the battle flag that remains alongside a Confederate monument in front of her state’s Capitol and to remind the assembly what he did more than a decade ago by executive action. Haley’s proposal will require legislative approval. Bush said he decided to send the flag in Florida to a museum “where our heritage can be respected” while recognizing that the banner is among “symbols that have divided the South” for generations. “If you’re trying to lean forward rather than live in the past, you want to eliminate the

barriers that create disagreement, so I did,” he said, concluding with, “You can clap, brother.” Bush is among the Republican presidential contenders who did not weigh in on what South Carolina should do about the flag after the shootings. He merely said state leaders would “do the right thing.” Once Haley made her decision, he and other rivals praised it. He said he attributes such mass killings to people who “feel disconnected” from the rest of society and, in “many cases,” suffer from mental illness. He opposes new gun restrictions.

Rauner receiving pressure from lawmakers to ink state budget • BUDGET

Continued from page A1 They also pressed Rauner and lawmakers to ink a budget deal, noting critical services such as mental health care and aid to seniors and children will be cut off if there’s no spending plan in place. “The current situation can’t go on indefinitely,” AFSCME Council 31 executive director Roberta Lynch said in a statement. Majority Democrats want Rauner to approve a tax increase to eliminate a nearly $4 billion shortfall without making severe cuts to programs such as Medicaid. But Rauner, a businessman, first wants Democrats to approve measures that would make the state friendlier to business and help him weaken labor unions’ influence

in Illinois the way Republican Gov. Scott Walker did in neighboring Wisconsin. Labor unions and Democrats suspect Rauner’s main motivation is to put additional pressure on public-employee unions, which are in the midst of negotiations for a new contract to replace an agreement that was set to expire Tuesday but has been extended by one month. Rauner’s office said he’s “committed to bargaining in good faith” and simply trying to improve the business climate and create new jobs in a state desperately in need of reforms. The General Assembly plans to be in session today and Wednesday. Michael Madigan has invited 15 Rauner cabinet members to explain their preparations for entering the 2016 fiscal year without new money – a situ-

ation he’s dubbed a “Rauner-imposed government shutdown.” The speaker was unimpressed by Rauner’s paycheck pronouncement. Making the promise, Michael Madigan spokesman Steve Brown said, merely telegraphs “disruption, both of state services and the payment of state employees.” Rikeesha Phelon, spokeswoman for Democratic Senate President John Cullerton of Chicago, was miffed. Rauner vetoed outright most of the budget Democrats sent him. Democrats have pointed out he could have used his executive power to approve just enough spending to keep government going while negotiations continue. “He had choices,” Phelon said. “Yet now, he wants us to see him as the savior of the state employees’ paychecks.”

D-428, D-427 officials wait on state funds • SCHOOLS

Continued from page A1 the funding they ordinarily would, Moeller said. For District 428, each proration point amounts to about $150,000, Moeller said. A proration rate of 92 percent up from 89 percent would be give the school about $450,000 more to work with. State aid accounts for about 20 percent of the district’s revenues. Over the next five years, the district’s average deficit is projected to reach $1.3 million to $2.9 million a year depending of a few different factors such as the rollout of a one-toone technology plan. The district is relying on reserves to cover the deficits. “We tend to be conservative in our estimates until we know funding will be in place,” Mo-

eller said. Prorated state aid payments have contributed to budget woes in Sycamore School District 427, as well. Nicole Stuckert, chief financial officer and chief school business official, said the district has seen its general state aid decline by about $3 million over the past five years, which has added to Sycamore’s anticipated $2.2 million deficit this fiscal year. Additional state funding would help reduce that deficit, she said. “Ninety-two percent would be about $300,000 for us,” she said. “We had budgeted conservatively. Even though that 92 percent was thrown out there, we weren’t sure if that would pass. We were very surprised Wednesday to hear it went through.” Genoa-Kingston School Dis-

trict Superintendent Joe Burgess said the increased funding will help the district manage its budget, but it wouldn’t have a major impact. “It’s better than we anticipated,” Burgess said. “But if there is a shortfall, historically, that rate can be categorically cut. It’s a pleasant change that the governor has already signed the education budget.” Burgess said he estimated the 3 percent increase would bring in an extra $120,000 to $150,000 for his district. “It will impact our deficit,” he said. “But we will probably still run at a mild deficit for next year because of previous levels of funding.” Burgess said the goal in District 424 this year was to stay under a $500,000 deficit. “It will obviously help,” he said. “But it will help manage what we already had in place.”

Cronin: Ruhl cared about every single person in his life • BICYCLIST

Continued from page A1 “He lived a really quality life, and he cared about every single person in his life and did his absolute best to give them as much love as possible,” Cronin said. A neighbor, Tony Leben, said Ruhl grew up with Leben’s older brother. He said

he became close to Ruhl after inviting Ruhl to his wedding, and they eventually ended up living close to each other in St. Charles. Leben called Ruhl “a sweetheart” willing to help anybody. Leben said Ruhl was with him to celebrate the White Sox’s World Series championship and the three recent Blackhawks’ Stanley Cup titles. Leben said Ruhl had a special Blackhawks hat, “the mojo hat,” that turned out to be

a good luck charm. He said he nominated Ruhl for an ALS ice bucket challenge, and they always were doing things together. “This is a tragedy for everybody,” Leben said. “It sounds trite, but you have to savor the good times and remember what a great guy he was.”

Supreme Court upholds use of controversial execution drug By MARK SHERMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Trading sharp words, a deeply divided Supreme Court upheld the use of a controversial drug in lethal-injection executions Monday, even as two dissenting justices said for the first time they think it’s “highly likely” the death penalty itself is unconstitutional. On their last day together until the fall, the justices voted 5-4 in a case from Oklahoma that the sedative midazolam can be used in executions without violating the Eighth Amendment prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. The court also divided 5-4 in cases upholding congressional districts drawn by independent commissions and calling into question first-ever limits on mercury emissions from power plants. In addition, the justices also agreed to hear an important affirma-

tive action case in the fall and acted to keep Texas abortion clinics open amid a legal fight that threatens to close most of them. In the dispute over the lethal-injection drug, midazolam was used in Arizona, Ohio and Oklahoma executions in 2014. The executions took longer than usual and raised concerns that the drug did not perform its intended task of putting inmates into a coma-like sleep. Justice Samuel Alito said for a conservative majority that arguments the drug could not be used effectively as a sedative in executions were speculative and he dismissed problems in executions in Arizona and Oklahoma as “having little probative value for present purposes.” In dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor said, “Under the court’s new rule, it would not matter whether the state intended to use midazolam, or instead to have petitioners drawn and quartered, slowly

tortured to death, or actually burned at the stake.” Alito responded, saying “the dissent’s resort to this outlandish rhetoric reveals the weakness of its legal arguments.” In a separate dissent, Justice Stephen Breyer said the time has come for the court to debate whether the death penalty itself is constitutional. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg joined Breyer’s opinion. “I believe it highly likely that the death penalty violates the Eighth Amendment,” Breyer said, drawing on cases he has reviewed in more than 20 years on the Supreme Court bench. More than 100 death row-inmates have been exonerated, showing that the death penalty is unreliable, Breyer said. He said it also is imposed arbitrarily, takes far too long to carry out and has been abandoned by most of the country. Last year, only seven states carried out executions, he said.

CHARLESTON, S.C. – The day she was killed along with eight others during Bible study at a South Carolina church, Myra Thompson achieved her goal of becoming a minister Hundreds honored Thompson, 59, in a service Monday at the site of the deadly shooting, Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston. “This is a woman who I want to strive to be,” South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said of Thompson. “She wanted every person she came in touch with to make them better.” Haley broke down as she repeated a message from other victims’ funerals in recent days, apologizing for attacks that “happened on my watch.” Thompson’s daughter, Denise Quarles, said the former public school teacher and middle school guidance counselor loved to tell stories. “A quick phone call was never a quick phone call,” she said. Friends and family said Thompson was a studious hard worker who led the historic African-American church’s property committee and served on its board of trustees. A program for the service said Thompson began working to become an ordained AME minister in 2014 and received her license to preach June 17, the day of the shooting. Thompson’s widower, the Rev. Anthony Thompson, told the white male suspect in the shooting, Dylann Storm Roof, at a court appearance last week that the family forgives him. “We would like you to take this opportunity to repent,” Anthony Thompson said by video stream. “Do that, and you’ll be better off than you are right now.” All nine of the victims in the shooting were black, and police contend the attack was racially motivated. Thompson’s funeral followed services for four other victims at Emanuel AME this weekend that brought political and religious leaders from across the country. Those who spoke at the services echoed the similar theme that the lives lost would bring about positive social change. Haley and the Rev. Jesse Jackson attended the funerals Saturday and Sunday. During the Saturday funeral for Tywanza Sanders, 26, and his aunt, Susie Jackson, 87, Haley promised “we will make this right.” The governor did not say what actions she planned to take.

WORLD BRIEF Puerto Rico to seek debt freeze from bondholders

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – Puerto Rico’s governor said he will create a financial team that will meet with bondholders and seek a moratorium on debt payments. Gov. Alejandro Garcia Padilla made the announcement Monday night after saying the U.S. territory’s $72 billion public debt is unpayable. He said he would seek a moratorium of several years but did not provide specifics. Garcia’s comments come just hours after international economists released a gloomy report on Puerto Rico’s economy. Legislators still are debating a $9.8 billion budget that calls for $674 million in cuts and sets aside $1.5 billion to help pay off the debt. The budget has to be approved by Tuesday.

By JULIE BYKOWICZ The Associated Press WASHINGTON – It was the perfect loop: The Republican opposition research group America Rising finds footage of Democratic Senate candidate Bruce Braley in agriculture-loving Iowa, seeming to put down the intelligence of farmers. That footage becomes part of a 30-second TV ad, by the super PAC American Crossroads, boosting the Republican candidate, Joni Ernst. Ernst wins. So does America Rising, which used that episode in Iowa last year to show prospective clients and donors what it can do. Big political opposition operations, which didn’t even exist five years ago, will be important players in the 2016 presidential election. They started early, with America Rising tracking Democratic frontrunner Hillary Rodham Clinton since early 2013, and its liberal counterpart, American Bridge 21st Century, keeping tabs on more than a dozen GOP contenders for four years now. “Oppo,” as it’s known, is flourishing thanks to donors and political parties investing millions in the two groups. The bounty of material means voters will see more of what they say they hate the most about elections: attack ads. The work begins in Iowa barns and New Hampshire coffeehouses – anywhere politicians might appear. Twenty-somethings with smartphones, video equipment and microphones track their targeted candidate’s every move, waiting for a gaffe, a policy flip-flop or anything embarrassing. These trackers aren’t always welcomed as friends. As an American Bridge employee tried to livestream

Bruce Braley, D-Iowa, in the race to replace retiring Sen. Tom Harkin. Big political opposition operations, which didn’t even exist five years ago, will be important players in the 2016 presidential election. an appearance by GOP presidential candidate Rand Paul last month in New Hampshire, Paul’s state political director walked over and licked the lens of the video camera. “This is a closed event,” David Chesley said. The lick scored more than 345,000 views on YouTube and showed up on Yahoo News and CNN. Sometimes, the tracking goes to an extreme, as when that same American Bridge videographer, this time following Republican New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte, showed up at the funeral of a local politician. All of the field footage gets analyzed and archived at headquarters. For American Bridge, that’s an industrial-chic, second-floor space near Union Station in Washington. America Rising’s home is an office in Rosslyn, Virginia, decorated with great moments in oppo, like a snapshot of 2004 Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry windsurfing. At these headquarters, ear-

buds-wearing researchers also scour old videos, public records and websites for fodder. Next comes deployment. Opposition research gets shipped out to political reporters and posted on social media. Outside groups and candidates pick up from there by packaging the material – or news coverage of it – into advertisements. All of this typically had been done by volunteers or employees on a campaign or in a political party until 2011, when liberal activist David Brock decided to form a group that made such work its specialty. His American Bridge is part-super PAC, part-nonprofit, meaning donors can write checks of unlimited size and have the option of remaining anonymous. Since its formation, the super PAC side, which must report its donors and can more directly participate in elections, has raised more than $23 million from Democratic financiers such as billionaire

Hungarian-born investor George Soros and oil heiress Anne Earhart. “Donors have responded to the efficiency of the model,” Brock said. “They very much like the idea of avoiding duplicating research efforts.” American Bridge still was proving its worth in August 2012 when a tracker assigned to monitor Missouri’s Republican Senate candidate, Todd Akin, heard him talk about “legitimate rape” during a local morning show. The group blasted the clip out to the media and to allies on the left. His campaign never recovered. Akin-level finds are rare. More often, opposition groups wield their power by sharpening the public’s existing impression about a candidate. American Bridge found as much material as it could to tear apart the business successes of Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, portraying him instead as ruthless. “The truth about opposi-

tion research is that it’s rarely a silver bullet,” said Jessica Mackler, president of American Bridge. “It’s a thousand little cuts.” Republicans watched American Bridge with envy. Then they copied it. “Republicans had completely dropped the ball on tracking,” said Steven Law, president of American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS, two of the best-funded outside groups of the 2012 election. “And we were deeply disappointed with the quality of the opposition research available to us.” Law and Crossroads co-founder Carl Forti persuaded Joe Pounder, the Republican National Committee’s lead researcher, and Matt Rhoades, manager of Republican nominee Mitt Romney’s campaign, to start America Rising in early 2013. Crossroads was its first client. Like American Bridge, America Rising is part super PAC. That entity raised $1.3 million by the end of last year. But the group also is part-corporation, selling its tracking, research and rapid response. Federal Election Commission records reviewed by The Associated Press show candidates and political groups have paid the corporate side more than $3.4 million for its services. Its clients include the Republican National Committee and the main party committees for the Senate and House of Representatives as well as several state parties. Both America Rising and American Bridge are expanding. Between the two, they’ll employ at least 150 people through Election Day next year. American Bridge recently spun off a second group, called Correct the Record, to defend Clinton against attacks coming from America Rising and GOP opponents.

Veterinarian named 2015 Pork Master By KATIE SMITH

ksmith@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Noel Garbes was named Master of the Pork Industry by National Hog Farmer Magazine, but he doesn’t farm pigs – he treats them. Garbes is a veterinarian at Bethany Swine Health Services, specializing in large animals and pigs. National Hog Farmer Magazine is a publication that has honored leaders within the industry with the “Master Award” since 2006, according to a news release. Being named the recipient of the award places Garbes with well-respected farmers and veterinarians whom he personally admires, he said. “There’s so many people I look up to in the industry that I would choose if I chose the award,” he said. Unlike conventional veterinary offices, working with large animals means Garbes

drives to local farms each day to treat and check their larger inhabitants. Although Garbes has spent years studying and treating pigs, he was surprised when National Hog Farmer Magazine contacted him, he said. Garbes grew up on a farm, but has since made a home in Sycamore with his wife and five children, where there’s not a pig in sight, said Dawn Felix, business manager at Bethany Animal Hospital. Nonetheless, Garbes has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to farm animals through his medical work, Charles Schelkopf, owner and veterinarian at Bethany Swine Health Services, said in a news release. “Noel’s commitment to his clients, and the pigs within their care is second to none,” he said. “He is truly deserving of this honor and we are thankful to have him as a part of our team.” Garbes earned his veteri-

guard, however, since his original expectations did not include working so closely and somewhat exclusively with pigs, he said. “I grew up around pigs and I just always wanted to work with them,” he said. “But I never thought I’d be working with them almost 100 percent of the time,” he said. About 95 percent of the animals Garbes sees are pigs, he said. It isn’t surprising Garbes feels flattered but baffled about his new title as the Master of the Pork Industry, since his focus is almost always the well-being of this patients, and not his own success, said Michael Schelkopf, fellow owner of Bethany Animal Hospital. “Dr. Garbes is a truly humble individual, never accepting the spotlight easily,” he said. “It is this quality that makes him truly special to our practice.”

Kuwait bomber raised no flags By ADAM SCHRECK The Associated Press DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – The Saudi man who blew himself up inside a Shiite mosque in Kuwait managed to slip out of his home country without raising any red flags and board a commercial flight transiting nearby Bahrain less than 24 hours before the deadly attack. The details of the bomber’s final hours, released by regional authorities, highlight the growing involvement of undetected Islamic State sympathizers on the Arabian Fahad Peninsula and Suleiman the threat they pose to coun- Abdulmohsen tries closer to al-Gabbaa home than the battlefields of Iraq and Syria. Friday’s blast in one of Kuwait City’s most prominent Shiite mosques killed 27 worshippers and injured more than 200. It followed two suicide bombings in neighboring Saudi Arabia just weeks earlier, raising fears of more attacks to come in the Gulf. Kuwaiti officials have identified the bomber as Fahad Suleiman Abdulmohsen al-Gabbaa, a Saudi man in his early 20s who landed in the country just hours before the attack. The bombing – which struck on the same day as deadly attacks in Tunisia and France – has rattled Kuwait. Violence is rare in the small and stable OPEC nation, which is ruled by a Sunni monarchy and has a sizable Shiite minority. Kuwait also regularly hosts American soldiers and other Western troops. It is unclear how much help al-Gabbaa had inside Kuwait and when and how he obtained his explosives. Kuwaiti police have arrested at least two people in connection with the attack. One is a man who authorities allege drove al-Gabbaa to the mosque. Another, according the Kuwaiti Interior Ministry, is a known follower of “fundamentalist and deviant ideology” who housed the driver. Gulf citizens can travel easily among the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council bloc, making it simple for al-Gabbaa to exploit the region’s extensive transportation links. Bahrain’s Interior Ministry said Monday that al-Gabbaa arrived in that island nation on a Gulf Air flight from the Saudi capital, Riyadh, at 10:40 p.m. Thursday. He remained in transit for two and a half hours before boarding a connecting flight to Kuwait. Saudi Arabia’s Interior Ministry said the bomber had no record with security forces or any background indicating terrorist activities. It confirmed he left the kingdom Thursday bound for Bahrain. An audio message accompanied by two still photos that was posted online and promoted by Twitter accounts affiliated with the IS group purports to be a final message from al-Gabbaa. A caption below the clip calls the bomber a “soldier of the caliphate” and identifies him by the nom de guerre of Abu Suleiman al-Muwahhed. In the message, the speaker vows to pursue jihad against his enemies, particularly Shiites in Kuwait, saying “we are on the lookout for you.” He also addresses IS group’s leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, telling him to “be patient and swear to God that we are with you.” IS militants consider Shiites to be heretics and are fighting Iranian-backed Shiite militias in Iraq and Syria. The group last month pledged to expel all Shiites from the Arabian Peninsula.

Greeks hit by closed banks, warnings The ASSOCIATED PRESS ATHENS, Greece – Anxious pensioners swarmed closed bank branches Monday and long lines snaked outside ATMs as Greeks endured the first day of serious controls on their daily economic lives ahead of a July 5 referendum that could determine whether the country has to ditch the euro currency and return to the drachma. As strict capital controls took root following Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’ surprise weekend decision to call a referendum on international creditors’ latest economic proposals, Greece’s population tried to fathom the sheer scale of the impact on their day-to-day existence. Following a breakdown in talks between Greece and its creditors, the country is in the midst of the one of the most acute financial crises seen anywhere in the world in years. It’s running out of time to get the money it needs to stave off bankruptcy. That has stoked fears of a crippling bank run, a messy Greek debt default and an exit from the euro. As a result, the country’s government imposed strict capital controls, none more onerous than a dai-

Greece’s fiveyear financial crisis took its most dramatic turn yet, with the cabinet deciding that Greek banks would remain shut for six business days and restrictions would be imposed on cash withdrawals. ly allowance of a measly $67 at the ATM. The sense of unease was palpable among the crowds of pensioners who lined up outside bank branches hoping they might open. Many elderly Greeks don’t have ATM cards and make cash withdrawals in person, and so they found themselves completely cut off from their money. “I came here at 4 a.m. be-

cause I have to get my pension,” said 74-year-old Anastasios Gevelidis, one of about 100 retirees waiting outside the main branch of the National Bank of Greece in the country’s second-largest city of Thessaloniki. “I don’t have a card. I don’t know what’s going on. We don’t even have enough money to buy bread,” he said. The capital controls come

ahead of a big 1.6 billion-euro payment Greece has to make to the International Monetary Fund. It’s unlikely to be able to pay that without financial assistance. Greece’s bailout program with its European creditors officially expires Tuesday, meaning the country will not have access to any of the money still available if it doesn’t secure a deal.

For months, the left-wingled Greek government, elected in January on a promise to bring an end to the hated austerity that it blames for an acute economic recession, has failed to agree on a package of spending cuts and reforms demanded by creditors in exchange for access to the remaining $8.1 billion in rescue loans. The sight of an economy on the precipice hit global markets hard Monday. In Europe, the Stoxx 50 index of leading shares ended 2.5 percent lower, while Germany’s DAX slid 3.6 percent. There were also some early warning signs that Greece’s problems may prove contagious – the borrowing rates of other highly indebted eurozone countries, such as Italy and Portugal, inched up slightly. Meanwhile, Standard & Poor’s rating agency cut Greece’s credit rating further into junk status, saying it now sees a 50 percent chance of Greece leaving the eurozone. The Greek government’s decision to hold a referendum is a sign it “will prioritize domestic politics over financial and economic stability, commercial debt payments and eurozone membership,” it said in a statement.

Tunisia struggles to find balanced response to terror THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TUNIS, Tunisia – Tunisia has reason to fear a terror attack. The only democracy that emerged from the turmoil of the 2011 Arab Spring has seen more of its young men join the Islamic State group than any other nation, and many have returned, battle-hardened, to spread radical ideologies back

home. It’s also a country full of vulnerable targets, with an economy that depends on welcoming European tourists to its warm Mediterranean shore. Despite having so much at stake, the shocking slayings of 22 tourists at the national museum in March failed to persuade lawmakers to resolve

their debate over an anti-terror strategy proposed more than a year earlier. Only now – after a single jihadi from a gritty Tunisian town was able to kill 38 tourists at a seaside resort – does the government appear ready to launch a comprehensive response. “We decided today to pass the counter-terrorism law

before Republic Day on July 25,” Parliament President Mohamed Ennaceur said while visiting survivors of Friday’s attack at a hospital. “We will be after the government to take the necessary measures in all areas to fight against terrorism.” The new anti-terrorism law would increase police powers

and provide for harsher penalties, moves that worry human rights activists. It also would create a commission to devise a strategy to tackle the roots of terrorism by addressing terror’s economic and social causes, and creating “de-radicalization” centers to change minds through persuasion, not prison.

Advertising tax proposal is a bad idea

VIEWS

Robert Bork would not have changed history By JONATHAN BERNSTEIN Bloomberg View As the Supreme Court ends its eventful term, many political analysts are stepping back to look at the history leading up to its important decisions, particularly on the marriage case. The name that keeps coming up is Robert Bork. Bork was the conservative firebrand who was Ronald Reagan’s first choice to fill a Supreme Court vacancy in 1987. The Senate blocked him. Reagan eventually named Anthony Kennedy instead, a far less controversial choice. At the National Review, Michael Potemra called the day Bork was defeated in the Senate at least possibly “America’s fundamental turn in the direction” leading to the court’s marriage decision (see also Ed Whelan). Plenty of liberals and other court watchers were thinking about Bork as well. Everyone seems to agree he would never have approved of gay marriage, as Kennedy did. Potemra, speaking of Bork, argues that the Supreme Court “platform would have given him an outsized opportunity to influence America’s cultural and constitutional discussion – and that America would have been significantly less likely to embrace the sort of the change the Court affirmed

today.” That’s bunk, and not just because Bork died in 2012 (meaning that he would have been replaced by a Barack Obama nominee if he had still been a justice at the time). Bork’s testimony at his confirmation hearing helped turn public opinion against him, so there’s no reason to believe that judicial opinions he might have written would have increased support for his views. If anything, a Supreme Court more conservative than the country would be more likely to cause a backlash against Republicans (as the liberal courts of the 1960s likely did against Democrats) than to “educate” the public into becoming conservative. Mostly, the story of how Bork was defeated and how Kennedy was confirmed is an excellent example of how the political system is supposed to work. Reagan, re-elected in a landslide in 1984, chose Bork to seal a conservative majority on the court. But Senate Democrats had won their own landslide in 1986, and liberals led by Edward Kennedy moved quickly to oppose Bork. Eventually, 58 senators voted against confirming him, including six Republicans and all but two Democrats. Then the Senate easily confirmed Anthony Kennedy

with a solid bipartisan vote. As a compromise candidate, Kennedy would preserve the president’s ability to influence the court far into the future, yet also reflect the Senate’s preferences. (Senate liberals and moderates wouldn’t have dreamed of blockading just any Reagan nominee, as Republicans have done for some appeals-court vacancies under Obama.) The Bork fight showed how political action produces results, and how the consequences can be unpredictable and even shocking. The people who walked precincts and stuffed envelopes for Wyche Fowler in Georgia, Kent Conrad in North Dakota, Tom Daschle in South Dakota and other Democrats who won close Senate elections in 1986 contributed to changing the nation (as did those who worked for Reagan’s election in 1980 and 1984). Few of those long-ago campaign volunteers did it because a Supreme Court nomination was on the line, never mind imagine the kind of decisions future justices would be making. Yet their contributions all those years ago turned out to play a critical role in making marriage equality the law of the land.

• Jonathan Bernstein is a Bloomberg View columnist covering U.S. politics.

Facing a changing world balance, Obama makes odd choices Is the world back to where it was around the year 1800? One could come to that conclusion after reading British historian John Darwin’s recent book “After Tamerlane,” which assesses the rises and falls of empires after the death in 1405 of the famously bloodthirsty Muslim Mongol monarch. From his Central Asian base, Tamerlane conquered Persia and lands from Egypt to India, destroying captured cities and piling up enormous piles of skulls. His fame has endured, from Christopher Marlowe’s Elizabethan play to the first name of the slain Boston Marathon bomber. Darwin’s perspective is worldwide, with as much emphasis on East Asia, South Asia, the Islamic world and Russia as on Western Europe and its American offshoots. He argues that from the 1400s to about 1800, China, India and the Islamic world were about as economically and technologically advanced and culturally sophisticated as that little set of peninsulas at the western edge of the Eurasian land mass called Europe. In this view, European traders and armies played only a small, mostly offshore role beyond their homelands. European dominance started not with Christopher Columbus and Vasco da Gama but when the British East India Company started conquering India and North American settlers started moving west of the Appalachians. Today, you could make the argument that the major regions of the world are reverting to the balance that prevailed until the 19th century, when Europe and the United States suddenly started dominating the world. That’s certainly the view of China’s leaders and, as far as one can judge, of the Chinese people.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Debt-plagued Illinois is desperate for new revenue. One proposal being considered by the administration of Gov. Bruce Rauner is a new tax on services, including advertising. The initial proposed rate was 10 percent; the idea now is to trim that to 6.25 percent, the same as the state sales tax. Our counterproposal: Don’t impose a tax on advertising at all. Period. Our position may appear entirely self-serving. After all, as a media company, we receive advertising revenue in exchange for communicating advertisers’ messages to our print and digital readers. That revenue, along with circulation and job printing, makes it possible to finance our journalistic work to keep the community informed. We believe that function has tremendous value to those we serve. American leaders from the Founding Fathers on down have had similar beliefs. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits Congress from “abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.” Founding Fathers believed so much in the importance of a free, unfettered press that they enshrined it in the Constitution. And a tax on advertising would have an overall greater impact on business besides the news media. Rauner and the Legislature have only to look at what happened when Florida imposed a tax on advertising. The results were unsuccessful, to say the least. After the tax was imposed, advertising purchases overall – newspapers, radio, television, cable TV, billboards, online – decreased by 12 percent, according to statistics provided by the Illinois Press Association. Advertising revenue declined by $100 million. Florida lost 50,000 jobs and $2.5 billion in personal income because of lost advertising revenue. And, perhaps the most damaging result: The costs incurred by the state of Florida to administer the new advertising tax exceeded tax revenue. In other words, it cost more money to collect the tax than the tax generated. Only the most committed big-government bureaucrat would think that was a good idea. Florida’s leaders quickly realized their mistake. The advertising tax was repealed 6 months later. Illinois has an advertising industry that helps produce more than 900,000 jobs and $267 billion (17.3 percent) of Illinois’ economic activity. Through advertising, economic activity is stimulated in all sectors of the economy. Individuals advertise their garage sales and various items for sale. Churches advertise their service times and locations. Small businesses advertise their goods and services. Larger businesses (such as automobile dealers, Realtors, and grocers) do the same. A government-induced slowdown in advertising, which the proposed tax would almost certainly cause, would ripple through the state’s economy to the detriment of all. No other state has a tax on advertising. Illinois should learn well from Florida’s experience. Don’t impose an advertising tax.

ANOTHER VIEW

Rocket explosion a useful failed experiment It was, in corporate parlance, a “non-nominal launch.” Others more bluntly called it a “catastrophic failure.” SpaceX’s seventh mission to rendezvous with the International Space Station ended in flames Sunday above Cape Canaveral, a couple of minutes after liftoff. The company’s Falcon 9 rocket launched normally, soared toward the cosmos, then blasted into expensive little pieces over the Atlantic, taking with it a few thousand pounds of supplies and equipment. The failure – the third for a resupply mission in less than a year – is a blow to the space station’s scientific mission. It’s yet another challenge to NASA’s plans to let private companies handle such launches as it trains its sights deeper into space. And it’s a setback to SpaceX’s ambitious plans to deploy reusable rockets. The recent failures should be recognized as the cost of making progress in spaceflight. New rocket systems fail as often as they succeed. And the string of recent (and unrelated) accidents in supplying the space station – Orbital Sciences lost a rocket in October, and a Russian mission failed in April – convey important lessons of their own as the space program ramps up for more ambitious exploration. As Scott Kelly, an astronaut aboard the station, put it on Twitter after Sunday’s accident: “Space is hard.” That this was the first failure in 19 launches for the Falcon 9 speaks to how much Elon Musk’s SpaceX has already accomplished. Since the company started in 2002, it has delivered a propulsive jolt to the aerospace industry by striving to do things faster, cheaper and more inventively. It has spurred competitors to slash costs, broken a monopoly on national-security launches and even roused some sluggish peers to try building reusable rockets of their own. As Bloomberg writer Ashlee Vance said in his new biography of Musk, “SpaceX has become the free radical trying to upend everything about this industry.” Upending things can work wonders in the marketplace. In space, it can all too easily lead to tragedy. SpaceX is learning that lesson.

Huskies to name new coach By DAILY CHRONICLE AP photo

Wisconsin’s Bo Ryan to retire after next season

Bo Ryan (above center) has been the fire-breathing face of Wisconsin basketball for 14 seasons, pushing the Badgers to never-before-seen heights. After 14 NCAA tournament appearances, seven Sweet 16s, four Big Ten titles, two Final Fours and a berth in last year’s national championship game, the hard-charging 67-year-old Ryan has only one more season left in him. Ryan surprised the college basketball world Monday when he announced that he plans to retire after next season as he looks to pass the torch after molding the Badgers into a national power. And were it not for some cajoling from Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez, Ryan said he would have called it a career in April after the Badgers lost to Duke in the national title game. “I’ve always been told that is not a decision to be made right after a season is completed,” Ryan said in a statement issued by the school. “Barry thankfully encouraged me to take some time to think about it and I have done that.” Ryan said it is his hope that longtime Badgers assistant Greg Gard is chosen to succeed him. The associate head coach has been on Ryan’s staff dating to 1993, when the two were at Division III Wisconsin-Platteville. – Wire report

CHICAGO BULLS

The Bulls’ first-round draft pick, Bobby Portis (right) shakes hands with Bulls General Manager, Gar Forman during a news conference Monday in Chicago.

Latest addition Bulls introduce first-round draft pick Bobby Portis By JEFF ARNOLD The Associated Press CHICAGO – Growing up, Bobby Portis got accustomed to being the last player picked. So he prided himself on being the one who outworked everyone else. Now, the Bulls first-round draft pick and the reigning SEC Player of the Year is ready to do it again. With his new team already well stocked in the frontcourt, Portis understands that working his way into coach Fred Hoiberg’s rotation won’t come easy. But armed with a work ethic he credits to his mother, Tina Edwards - who raised Portis and his three younger brothers in Little Rock, Arkansas - the 6-foot11, 248-pound power forward is

prepared to prove himself all over again. “I’m a guy that grades himself on hard work,” Portis said at his introductory news conference Monday. “I’ve never been the guy that goes outside my boundaries and does the things I can’t do.” Portis grew up around gangs in a place he said where “no one really makes it.” Edwards made it clear to Portis that even though he wasn’t the most talented player, he could stand out through hard work. “She always told me to be a sponge out on the court, to be that garbage man,” Portis said. “Even if I don’t get the ball, go get it off the offensive glass and put it back in.” Portis took the message to heart, playing an emotionally charged

style that drew the attention of Arkansas coach Mike Anderson. In Portis, Anderson saw a player that he characterized Monday as a “selfmade” McDonald’s All-American who transitioned into the SEC’s top player as a sophomore at Arkansas. Last season, Portis averaged 17.5 points, 8.9 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game while showcasing a versatile skill set that made Portis attractive to the Bulls. Portis’ work ethic, Anderson said, is what makes the rookie special. “He’s got that mindset that he don’t want to be a good player, he wants to be a great player,” Anderson said.

When Genoa-Kingston star point guard Tommy Lucca went down with a knee injury during a summer league game last week, the Cogs had every right to fear the worst. However, Genoa-Kingston coach Corey Jenkins received the good news Friday that Lucca only had suffered a sprained MCL and – while he’ll be out 4 to 6 weeks – he should be ready to go for the Monica Synett file photo – msynett@shawmedia.com Cogs’ regular season. The injury happened Genoa-Kingston’s Tommy Lucca matches up with Dixon’s Laron Carr in during the first half of the the third quarter Dec. 13.

Hinckley-Big Rock summer league championship game Wednesday, when Lucca landed on top of somebody’s foot – causing an injury to his left knee. “Anytime you have a knee buckle, it scares you a little bit,” Jenkins said. The injury becomes the second time Lucca, who was the Daily Chronicle Boys Basketball Player of the Year last season, has sprained his left MCL. He also injured it leading up to the season his sophomore year and missed a couple of weeks. While Lucca likely will miss the July portion of his AAU season with the Illinois Wolves, Jenkins said it was good that the news of the injury wasn’t worse.

“It’s summer and he’s upset because it’s supposed to be the time that you get better, but in the long run, he’s going to be healthy coming into the season and in a sense it’s good for our team to learn how to play without him,” Jenkins said. The Cogs, playing without four of their top ten players in the Crystal Lake South Shootout over the weekend, advanced to the consolation championship. Jenkins said that the Cogs went 15-5 in the summer, despite only having all of their players for two of the games. “It’s positive, it’s definitely positive,” Jenkins said of the conclusion of summer league. “That’s really encouraging.”

Lynch makes debut in CFL regular season Jordan Lynch made his regular-season CFL debut Saturday night with the Edmonton Eskimos, rushing two times for 17 yards, including a 13yard scramble in a 26-11 loss at Toronto. Eskimos starting quarterback Mike Reilly was hurt in the fourth quarter and was replaced by backup Matt Nichols, who finished 1 of 6 passing for eight yards and an interception.

Wade elects to become free agent MIAMI – Dwyane Wade has decided to forgo a $16.1 million deal with the Miami Heat for next season and become a free agent. The three-time champion and 11-time All-Star announced his decision Monday through a spokesperson. ESPN was first told of the decision. Wade hits the open market Wednesday and is likely to receive interest from several other teams, although the Heat already have said they want to keep him. Wade left a total of around $27 million on the table in contract negotiations with the Heat in 2010 and 2014. He wants some of that sacrifice rewarded in a three-year deal. But he’s turning 34 next season and has missed 25 percent of Miami’s regular-season games over the past four years, factors the Heat surely will take into account.

Kings end Richards’ contract for ‘breach’ EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – The Los Angeles Kings have terminated Mike Richards’ contract, claiming the forward committed a “material breach” of its terms. The Kings announced their newest tactic Monday in their attempt to get out from under Richards’ enormous deal. The Kings refused to say why they’re terminating Richards’ deal, which carries an annual salary cap hit of $5.75 million through 2020. Los Angeles placed Richards on waivers again over the weekend. The Kings were thought to be attempting a buyout of that deal that would lessen his cap hit by spreading it out through 2025. The club demoted Richards to the minors last season after the two-time Stanley Cup champion’s play declined sharply. Richards began his 12-year, $69 million deal from Philadelphia in 2008. The Kings acquired him in 2011. – Staff, wire reports

CUBS

Cubs to open series vs. Mets Trade speculation restarts By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer was finishing an interview with a few Chicago reporters last month before a game against the New York Mets when a writer snuck in a final question about the apparent abundance of trade opportunities between the pitching-flush Mets and hitting-rich young Cubs. “We haven’t made a deal yet, but there’s been matches that made sense, and I’m sure we’ll talk to them in the future,” Hoyer said. “It’ll happen at some point.” What? Nearby New York writers perked up suddenly as Hoyer headed off to other business. “Did your GM just say he’s making a trade with the Mets?!” Uh, not really. But sort of. Maybe. Crank up the rumor mill again as the Cubs head to Queens for a three-gamer against the Mets with exactly a month to go before the trade deadline.

Whether either considers itself a bona fide contender – enough to dive into the deep end of the July trading pool – probably depends on what happens in the next two weeks. This week’s series alone could have a big influence on the direction of the fifthand sixth-positioned teams in the National Jed Hoyer League if one sweeps. Meanwhile, a Cubs team that rarely sends its president or GM on the road with the club is expected to have Hoyer traveling on this trip. Not that it necessarily signals an impending move between the teams, but the teams have had discussions on possible trades for well over a month as the Mets shopped since-demoted Dillon Gee and today’s starter Jonathan Niese. The Cubs seek higher quality – an arm they can envision as at least No. 3-caliber playoff starter – and were willing to consider including slugging

prospect Javy Baez in a deal until Baez broke his finger this month. Both teams are looking for club control over the talent it acquires, especially in any deal between two clubs with some of the highest volume of young pitchers and hitters, respectively, in the game. The Cubs in particular have so few well regarded pitching prospects that one evaluator familiar with the system said he didn’t need all the fingers on one hand to count the number of legitimate major-league starting prospects in the system. And the best one of those, high-A right-hander Duane Underwood Jr., went on the Myrtle Beach disabled list over the weekend with an undisclosed arm injury. Team officials said he was undergoing medical tests Monday to determine the severity. No wonder the Cubs committed $155 million for six years to get the starter they wanted last winter, and why they talk internally about longterm free-agent offers for the likes of Jordan Zimmermann or David Price next winter – assuming new club revenues are shared with the baseball

department. But what about now? What about the chance to make a playoff push at least a year ahead of schedule? Were those back-to-back wins against Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke that pushed the Cubs nine games over .500 the indicators of what this team is this year? Or were the five consecutive losses against the Dodgers and Cardinals that followed? “It’s the same balancing act we always go through – try and balance the future vs. the present,” Hoyer said. “Obviously, this is a very important season. Every season that you’re in the race you have to take seriously because you can’t always count on tomorrow. “As much as we’re building for the future, you don’t know what’s going to happen in the future. You know what’s going [on] now. You don’t want to do anything that you’re going to look back on and say, ‘That was hasty.’ But you never want to look only toward the future and ignore the fact that this has been a really fun season with a lot of big positives, and, ‘Can we improve some of the weaknesses we have and keep that going?’ ”

MLB appears content to keep fans in danger One of the most frightening days of my life came during a White Sox-Rockies spring training game 15 years ago. I was feeling good about the seats I had bought near the third-base dugout. My wife and our three kids, ages 10, 8 and 7, would have a close-up view of the action. Then the line drives started screaming all around us. They mostly came off the bats of left-handed hitters but also from righties who had swung too soon on breaking balls. They came at a speed well beyond most humans’ ability to react to them. And there I sat, scared to death I wouldn’t be able to get in front of a laser headed for my family. I bring this up because of the fan who still is being lauded for catching a foul ball with one hand while holding a baby in his other arm. It happened along the first-base line at Wrigley Field last week, and it is still the reigning champion on ESPN “SportsCenter’s” Top 10 plays of the day. I’ll give the guy the benefit of the doubt for reflexively reaching out to catch a foul ball. He’ll get no such pass for bringing his 7-month-old son to seats just beyond the firstbase dugout. You have to be either

VIEWS Rick Morrissey unthinking, as I was when I bought those tickets years ago, or insane to sit near either dugout if you have a child with you. I cringe whenever I see anyone younger than12 in those seats. I cringe when I see people older than 70 in those seats. I cringe, period. You won’t find many players or managers who will allow their families to sit in those danger zones. They’re well aware of how fast baseballs can travel off the bats of very powerful men. I once asked former Cub Matt Stairs if he’d let his three daughters sit near a dugout. “No chance,” he said. “I want them behind home plate (where there is netting) or I want them in the family room. They can watch the game on TV.” I’m not sure why we’re still celebrating the Cubs fan’s circus act. At first blush, sure. Father catches ball while baby drinks from his bottle. Cute. Then you wonder what would have happened if he had missed. And then you think about the woman who was hit in the

head by a broken bat at Fenway Park this month. Police initially said Tonya Carpenter, 44, had life-threatening injuries, but she recovered enough to be discharged from a hospital and transferred to a rehabilitation center. Her boyfriend says she is in almost constant pain and is relearning how to walk and talk. Here’s a report of the incident from ESPN.com: Alex Merlis, of Brookline, Mass., said he was sitting in the row behind the woman when the broken bat flew into the stands. “It was violent,” he said of the impact to her forehead and top of her head. “She bled a lot. A lot. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that.” Merlis said the woman had been sitting with a small child and a man. After she was injured, the man was tending to her, and other people were trying to console the distraught child, he said. Makes you want to grab those seats along the thirdbase line, doesn’t it? Makes you want to applaud a fan for catching a baseball while holding a baby, right? The solution, of course, is netting in front of the seats from third base to first base and perhaps beyond. The netting behind home plate isn’t

nearly enough. After the incident at Fenway, Major League Baseball said it would look into the safety issues, which is what it says any time there are serious injuries. Don’t kid yourself. There are lots of injuries in the stands that never make the newspapers. Teams rarely release figures, but the Rockies revealed in 1995 that 45 people were hurt by foul balls that season. Baseball knows that one of the delights for fans is the possibility of catching a foul ball. It makes them part of the action. Signs at every ballpark warn of balls entering the stands. Be aware at all times, those signs say. But even the most-focused fan lacks the reflexes to stop a ball traveling 100 mph. Throw in the distraction of smart phones, and it’s over. Back to that game 15 years ago. The Rockies’ Jeff Cirillo caught a pop fly right in front of us to end an inning, then tossed the ball to one of my sons. We left with a souvenir and no injuries. It felt like a miracle. Never again. • Rick Morrissey is a Chicago Sun-Times sports columnist. Write to him at rmorrissey@suntimes.com.

INDYCAR

Looking forward

Daredevil vs. dangerous racing

SPRINT CUP SERIES Coke Zero 400 Race time: 6:45 p.m. Sunday Site: Daytona International Speedway, Daytona Beach, Fla. TV: FS1

IN THE PITS Jenna Fryer NASCAR returns this week to Daytona International Speedway, where 43 drivers are likely to race bumper to bumper for 400 white-knuckle miles. Very few of them will enjoy the race. Fans will most likely love every moment. IndyCar finds itself in the same situation following one of its most breathtaking races in recent memory. The open-wheel series Saturday staged a sensational 500-miler that featured an IndyCar-record 80 lead changes as drivers made moves that bordered on the absurd. Cars slid into gaps that put drivers five-wide across the track at times. Auto Club Speedway found itself hosting a race that rivaled NASCAR’s version of Daytona or Talladega. Fans watching on TV – and that’s where they were watching because there couldn’t have been much more than 5,000 people in the stands in Fontana, California – used social media to marvel at the racing. The drivers, however, were less than pleased with the product. Most of IndyCar’s top stars lambasted the racing and series officials for putting together a rules package that created pack racing. The complaints were loud and came from reigning series champion Will Power and Indianapolis 500 winner Juan Pablo Montoya, who warned a day earlier that the conditions were ripe for dangerous racing. Something to consider: Montoya is widely considered to be fearless. He has touched wheels with Michael Andretti at 230 mph racing for a win, shoved his car inside of Michael Schumacher’s when there was no room and once crashed into a jet dryer, igniting a massive fireball and yet walking away. When that guy says the racing

Ryan Briscoe flips through the infield grass in front of Ryan Hunter-Reay on Saturday during the IndyCar auto race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif. is inching toward too dangerous, he is probably correct. There is no simple fix for IndyCar, which seemingly only draws eyeballs anymore during times of crisis. The series was square in the spotlight a month ago after three cars went airborne during preparation for the Indianapolis 500. A fourth accident nearly killed driver James Hinchcliffe, who didn’t go airborne but was saved from bleeding to death after a broken part pierced his thigh. It created a buildup for the Indy 500 that drew the casual spectator to the television to see if cars really would fly during “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” It’s no coincidence that the Indy 500 drew a higher television rating than NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600 for the first time in 10 years. Those who watched did not see cars fly through the air, but were treated to an intense and competitive race. The problem? IndyCar hasn’t figured out how to sustain any momentum and the four races after Indy failed to produce the same entertainment. Particularly disheartening was the June 6 snoozefest at Texas, where the action on the oval lacked any of the excitement fans had seen just two weeks earlier. There doesn’t seem to be much middle ground when it comes to IndyCar and oval

track racing, and ovals were the bread and butter of this series when it was created in 1994. Indy, Texas and Fontana could not have been more different this year, and series officials can’t seem to figure out how to find a rules package that works for every oval. The result on Saturday was loved by the fans and hated by the drivers – many of them present at the 2011 season finale when Dan Wheldon was killed in a horrific accident just minutes after the start. Wheldon’s death has left a deep scar on the series and made his close friends wary of pack racing. What infuriates them even more is that they warned IndyCar before that Las Vegas race that conditions were too dangerous and felt they were ignored. So when they spoke out Saturday, sure, some of it was emotional. It immediately led to sniping – from fans who felt the drivers were being whiny and even from fellow driver Ed Carpenter, who suggested on Twitter that his peers who don’t like close racing should retire. The Las Vegas memories have created two very distinct sides in this debate. Team owner Chip Ganassi had four cars finish in the top eight Saturday and didn’t understand what all the fuss was about. He also stressed that the drivers are in control of their

actions on the track. “Nobody wants to see anyone get hurt – (but) you can’t touch wheels with open-wheel cars and for some reason these drivers think you can do that these days,” he said. “I think somebody needs to sit the drivers down and tell them they’ve got to stop chopping other guys and stop touching wheels and stop racing every lap like it’s the last lap.” Ganassi also downplayed the pack racing, calling the climate Saturday “a pseudo pack,” while noting that the same drivers seem to crash at every oval race. “Some of the drivers don’t want a pack,” he said. “I think it’s pretty obvious, the older guys don’t want a pack and the younger guys don’t really care.” True, there are hundreds of young racers around the world who would eagerly jump into an Indy car and not think twice about the style of racing. Even though the attendance did not show it, the attention paid to Saturday’s race proved that’s what fans want to watch. It’s never going to be safe, racing just isn’t that way. But finding a balance between daredevil racing and over-the-top danger is a challenge IndyCar must unravel. • Jenna Fryer covers auto

BULLS

Dunleavy expecting to be back in fold ... along with Butler By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com It’s nothing but talk in Mike Dunleavy’s world these days. Rumors about Jimmy Butler wanting to be elsewhere next season, the reported rift between Butler and Derrick Rose, Dunleavy’s own pending free agency … all just June 29 “chatter.’’ “I think a lot of that stuff as far as Jimmy’s and Derrick’s relationship is just chatter,” Dunleavy said in a phone interview Monday. “I think there’s chatter as far as free agency in general.” The 34-year-old, who will be a free agent as of 11:01 p.m. today, took it a step further, indicating that not only does he expect to be back with the Bulls, but in conversations he’s had with Butler this offseason, his belief is No. 21 will be joining him. “I really think that Jimmy will be back,” Dunleavy said. “I’m really optimistic that he and I will both be back. I’ve talked to him a little over the course of this summer. Obviously, nothing is set in stone and he’s got to go through the process, but I would be surprised if Jimmy’s in another uniform next year besides the Bulls.” According to the Los Angeles Daily News, Butler, who will be a restricted free agent, wants to sign a one-year deal with the Lakers, before then really being able to cash in when the new TV deal kicks in after the 2015-16 season. A Bulls source, however, said Butler has not indicated

any such plan to them, and Dunleavy’s conversations with the two guard backed that. Dunleavy seemed so convinced that Butler would be returning to Chicago that he has no problem waiting around for the situation to remedy itself before he puts his name on the dotted line. “I mean, quite frankly, I think Jimmy is a big part of me wanting to come back, too,” Dunleavy said. “So it kind of works both ways. I’m willing to be patient with this thing. That would be the case with any team. And with where I’m at in my career, I’m not one of those guys that someone will be ramming down my door at midnight. “The Bulls are a priority for me, and we’ll try and figure something out I’m sure.” Hopefully, something a bit fairer than his last deal. Dunleavy signed a two-year, $6.5 million deal in the 2013 offseason with the thought he would be a veteran bench guy. Instead, he became a key starter with the departure of Luol Deng and then Carlos Boozer. “As far as looking in the past, I have no issue with that contract,” Dunleavy said. “That’s what I signed up for. I did my best, and if people feel I outperformed it, then great, that’s what you always want to do. As far as moving forward, obviously I feel like I’m worthy of being paid or compensated more than what that contract represented, so hopefully this time around, I’ll be able to get a bump in pay. We’ll see how it plays out.”

Bulls thought Portis would be lottery pick • BULLS

Continued from page B1 Some projected Portis as a possible lottery pick but he fell to the 22nd overall pick at last week’s draft. Bulls general manager Gar Forman admitted they never expected Portis to be available. He and Hoiberg knew they could use Portis despite already having a frontcourt that includes Pau Gasol, Joakim Noah, Taj Gibson and Nikola Mirotic. Hoiberg said the NBA’s summer league provides Portis a chance to not only learn the Bulls system, but gain some confidence and showcase what kind of player he can be. Hoiberg will go into training camp with an open mind as far as playing time goes, giving Portis the chance to play his way into the Bulls’ rotation. “Guys will earn their min-

utes,” Hoiberg said Monday. “I know (Portis) is going to work extremely hard.” Portis doesn’t know any other way. Portis also wants to make a name for himself as a Little Rock native after growing up with few basketball role models who grew up in his hometown outside of fellow natives Joe Johnson, who now plays for the Brooklyn Nets, and former NBA guard Derek Fisher. Portis established a close relationship with former Arkansas star Corliss Richardson, who now serves as an assistant coach with the Sacramento Kings. “As a kid I wanted to be that guy that my brothers can look up to and other kids can look up to,” Portis said. “Now, I’ve got to that position, and I have to run with it and make myself a better basketball player, so kids back home can look up to someone.”

U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo directs her teammates during a Women’s World Cup match against Nigeria on June 16 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Solo has kept a low profile since details about her 2014 domestic violence case were reported.

FIFA WOMEN’S WORLD CUP

Solo stays out of limelight By STEVEN GOFF The Washington Post MONTREAL – Hope Solo has disappeared from the World Cup. Make no mistake: She has started every match for the U.S. women’s national soccer team ahead of Tuesday’s World Cup semifinal against Germany at Olympic Stadium. On and off the field, however, there are few signs of her. For both the squad and the player, this is a welcome development. Early this month, on the eve of the group opener in Winnipeg, the goalkeeper’s dark past resurfaced after fresh details about her 2014 domestic violence case emerged. It rekindled debate about whether she should have been allowed to continue playing, and it tugged attention from the team’s championship campaign. Hope Solo, the flawed woman, had again superseded Hope Solo, the sport’s premier shot-stopper. She had not done anything new to bring it about, but her personal drama had again caught up to her and, by extension, drawn the team into it. This was the risk the U.S. Soccer Federation took when it kept her on the squad during the legal saga and when it reinstated her after a month-long suspension stem-

ming from an unrelated incident. The timing of the latest story, which included allegations of an alcohol-fueled tirade against police officers, could not have been worse. As the Americans began the quest for their first title in 16 years, Coach Jill Ellis and the players found themselves answering questions a b o u t matters unrelated to the upcoming matches in the Today on TV so-called Group of Women’s World Death. B u t Cup semifinal: over the United States vs. course Germany, at Monof three treal, 6 p.m., Fox w e e k s across Canada, Solo has become almost inconspicuous. The most polarizing figure in American soccer has kept quiet behind the scenes, and thanks to an immaculate defensive corps, she has become an ancillary figure on the sport’s grandest stage. She has not spoken publicly since after the first game. In subsequent days, she did not respond to comments by Swedish Coach Pia Sundhage, the former U.S. boss, who

called her a “piece of work. . . . It’s a little bumpy road” coaching Solo. After each of the past four games, she has strolled through the media mixed zone politely declining interview requests. Before practice sessions, when a rotation of two or three different players is typically made available for interviews, the USSF has not forced her to take questions. From all indications, Solo has been a good teammate and positive influence during the World Cup odyssey. “I have really noticed her – on the field, off the field – just [having] a really good focus,” Ellis said after a 1-0 quarterfinal victory against China on Friday in Ottawa. Solo has benefited from a defense guarding her like deep-woods mosquito repellent. Since rescuing the Americans with several sensational saves in the 3-1 opening victory against Australia, she has recorded four consecutive shutouts. The 423-minute streak is the third longest in tournament history. Along the way, Solo, 33, has set the record for most victories (134) and appearances (175) by a U.S. goalkeeper and extended her marks in shutouts (88) and starts (169). “She has made some saves that have kept us in games,” midfielder Morgan Brian said. “That’s what her job is.

That’s what she’s been used to.” Opponents aren’t scoring because they aren’t getting chances. In the past four matches, the defense has conceded seven shots on goal. Solo’s intermittent saves have been routine, and for most of the 90 minutes, she is a lonely figure watching over an unthreatened fortress. “I think she is very happy about that,” right back Ali Krieger said. “She is prepared, no matter what. She’s professional enough to be ready whenever that moment comes, especially when we have to play the ball back to her. . . . She’s always on her toes, always prepared and ready for a big play.” Krieger and Meghan Klingenberg have staffed the corners of the back line, while Julie Johnston and Becky Sauerbrunn have formed the World Cup’s best center-back combination. The United States and Brazil are the only teams to concede a single goal. (Brazil was eliminated by Australia in the round of 16.) Solo’s tranquility on two fronts might end soon, though. On the field, she and the second-ranked U.S. squad will face their stiffest test to date against No. 1 Germany, which leads the tournament by wide margins in goals with 20 (albeit 10 in one game), as well as shots and shots on goal.

Illinois was using and only two – Carlsen and Pointer – were granted in-person interviews on campus. The team has been without a coach since Kathi Bennett resigned April 29, after receiving a buyout of her contract. A member of the Northern Illinois sports information department said the school could not comment

on if Carlsen was going to be named the coach. Carlsen did not return messages left by the Daily Chronicle. Lewis University Director of Athletic Communications Matt Brendich said he couldn’t comment on the job search of others and said Carlsen is “still the coach as of right now,” Monday afternoon.

Woman’s belief of parentage needs facts to back claim Dear Abby: I recently received a Facebook message from a 47-year-old mother of four who believes she is my daughter. While I do not remember her mother and have communicated this to the woman, the pictures she sent of her children somewhat resemble my family. I’m happily married with two sons, and my wife is aware of this and will support any decision I make. I’m conflicted about the choices before me and the impact they may have on her family and mine. What is the right thing to do? – Conflicted In Florida Dear Conflicted: Try to get a

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips For instance, why does she think you are her father? Were you and her mother ever in the same place at the same time? If there is a possibility you could be her dad, the ethical thing to do would be to let her know that your attorney will be contacting her to arrange a DNA test. Dear Abby: Please tell me what to say to persuade my friend to stop driving up in front of my house and honking his horn. I have asked him twice not to do it, but it continues.

the fact you have asked this person more than once not to do this, he is rude. In addition, when a driver honks his or her horn repeatedly in a residential neighborhood, the noise can be disruptive to your neighbors. Dear Abby: I recently phoned one of my mother’s

best friends, “Edna,” to wish her a happy birthday. It was her 101st. When I asked her about her family, she spent some time sobbing over the recent news that her eldest son has cancer. My first thought – and that of several others – was, why was she told? Edna is frail and in poor health. She has seen her share of tragedies and losses in her long life, and I think she should have been spared this devastating news. Hearing her sob on her birthday broke my heart. However, a couple of my friends disagreed with me. They thought she ought to know. Your thoughts on this would be appreciated. – Won-

ics are of no proven value if a patient does not have a strep throat. In addition, it is hard for a doctor to know for sure that a patient has a strep throat without a positive throat culture. An eminent pediatrician, Dr. Burtis Breese, once gave his colleagues some wise advice: “If you are entirely comfortable selecting which patients with pharyngitis to treat with penicillin, perhaps you don’t fully understand the situation.” As I mentioned in yesterday’s column, the results of a throat culture take one to two days. It’s sometimes hard to reach the patient when the results return. For that reason, doctors had long yearned for a test that would reveal

whether the patient had a strep throat while he or she was still in the doctor’s office. About 30 years ago, rapid strep tests were developed. The latest versions of the test are fast: Results come back within 15 minutes. And the tests appear to be highly accurate in detecting Group A strep. So this seemed like a major advance. But, again, it’s not that simple. First, the rapid tests are quite accurate, but not perfect. Second, we’ve learned that other kinds of strep besides Group A strep, and other kinds of bacteria entirely, can cause acute pharyngitis. The rapid strep tests don’t detect any of these bacteria. Admittedly, we don’t yet have solid evidence of the value of

treating these bacteria. Third, sometimes Group A strep live in our throat without causing any disease: There is no value in killing those strep. Finally, even when we test for all known bacteria, viruses and other microbes, we still can’t find a cause of sore throat in about 30 percent of patients. So there’s still a lot to learn about a medical problem that causes more days lost from work than all labor disputes combined. Yet we’ve cut federal funding for medical research by 20 percent over the past decade.

It may seem like a small thing to him, but I think it’s disrespectful to me for him to toot his horn like I’m supposed to come running out. A more courteous approach would be to call me and say he’s near, or to ring the doorbell when he arrives. Am I being old-fashioned? –

hard-and-fast rules that apply to these situations. Although Edna no longer may be able to live independently, her thinking may be clear and she still is the matriarch of the family. When you withhold information from someone, even if it’s well-intentioned, it isolates the person. Because the conversation upset you to such an extent you felt you had to write to me, my thought is you should let Edna’s children know what happened.

little more background from the woman about her mother.

Dear Readers: In yesterday’s column, I responded to a reader’s question about acute pharyngitis – inflammation of the throat caused by infection with bacteria or viruses. I was taught diagnosing and treating a patient with a sore throat was not complicated: The sore throat was caused by Group A streptococcus (“strep,” a kind of bacteria) or by a virus. If a throat culture showed strep, you treated it with penicillin. Simple. But in my view (some colleagues disagree), it’s not that simple. The risk from an untreated infection with Group A strep is much lower today in the United States than it was 70

Anthony L. Komaroff years ago. That means that the value of treatment is reduced. But the chance of side effects from the treatment – antibiotics – is not reduced. Penicillin can cause side effects ranging from a bad rash to a life-threatening drop in blood pressure. A doctor never wants to prescribe a treatment when its risk is worse than the risk from the disease. If a doctor knows for sure a patient has a strep throat, the value of antibiotic treatment today still is greater than the risk. The problem is antibiot-

Parents might think ‘wonderful’ guy still too old to date Dr. Wallace: I’m 17 and recently met the nicest, sweetest, most wonderful guy in the world at a friend’s wedding reception. So far all we have done is have lunch together on two Saturday afternoons. I’d really like to see this fellow on a regular basis (he also has told me he would like to start dating me), but he is 20 years old and I’m afraid my parents won’t allow me to date him because of his age. Actually, he is only two years and ten months older than me, but age 20 seems older than it really is.

TODAY – It will be easier to keep your perspective if you don’t allow yourself to be carried away by implausible or unrealistic expectations. Stick to your game plan. A methodical approach will be the best strategy for reaching your goals. Do what you do best. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Unforeseen events in the workplace will allow you to show off your grace under fire. Your skills and loyalty will be recognized and rewarded. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Look into ways to make yourself look and feel better. A positive self-image will help you project confidence, and both your professional and personal lives will benefit as a result. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Expect friction at home if you haven’t been fulfilling your responsibilities. You can avoid heated debates by living up to your promises without complaints or excuses. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Your versatility and talents are being noticed. If you keep presenting your innovative ideas, you will win favor from those in a position to help you out. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Business meetings or seminars will highlight your drive and determination. You will be given the chance to use your excellent communication skills to full advantage when dealing with colleagues or superiors. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You will increase your knowledge through travel. Interesting things can be found in exotic locations or unfamiliar places closer to home. Get out and do some exploring. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – A misunderstanding with a colleague will cause an uncomfortable environment in the workplace. You can rectify the situation if you deal with issues honestly and without argument or faultfinding.

Don’t be afraid to accept a leadership position. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Putting in long hours at work will win points with your boss, but those you care about will not be impressed. Spend quality time with loved ones to avoid relationship problems. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Put your energy to good use tying up loose ends or finishing projects. You will be able to take on extra tasks if you are organized, making you popular with those counting on you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Stick to your duties. Working alone will allow you to get more done. Others will take advantage of you if you are too easygoing or readily available. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Don’t be put off if others want to do their own thing. Do something you can enjoy alone, or reflect on the past in order to improve your future.

enjoyable. My friends and I study together every Tuesday and Thursday for about two hours. We always rotate at each other’s houses. My dad thinks it is much better to study alone because I can concentrate better without interruption. What is your opinion on this subject? – Nameless,

Galesburg, Illinois Nameless: When I was

teaching, I encouraged students to study together whenever possible, especially before an important test. Harvard University seems to agree. Researchers there investigated group study and reported it was an ideal way of reinforcing what has been taught in class. The report suggested group study could be orga-

nized one of two ways: Individual members can have responsibility for a single subject, or everyone can be responsible for all subjects, with the group functioning as a discussion group in which the members help one another understand key points and question each other in preparation for tests. The biggest flaw with group study is people’s tendency to spend time on non-academic matters. The major problem with studying alone is there’s no one to help you with something you don’t fully understand. When friends study as a group, the maximum number should be four.

CROSSWORD

William James, a philosopher and psychologist who died in 1910, said, “The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.” The art of being wise at the bridge table is the art of knowing what not to overlook – as in this deal. What should South not overlook when in three notrump after West leads a heart in answer to his partner’s opening bid? When you double for takeout at the one-level, partner makes a minimum advance in a suit (showing 0-8 points), and you rebid, you indicate a very strong hand, in principle one with at least 18 high-card points. You are telling partner that despite his weak hand, game is still possible. Here, when South jump-rebids two no-trump, it promises the values for a two-no-trump opening: a good 20 to 22 points. North, with only four points in his heart doubleton, might well pass, but the vulnerable game bonus is a powerful lure, akin to the songs of the sirens. South starts with only five top tricks: two hearts and three clubs. He needs four diamond winners. At first glance, that requires a 2-2 split, but there is one other possibility. Declarer should take the first trick with dummy’s heart king, then lead a diamond. Here, the ace appears and South is home. But if East plays low and declarer’s king wins the trick, South continues with a low diamond, hoping for the even break. Remember to lead up to honors.
