Bridge over Fox to be ‘built next year’ Announcement about pedestrian path made at event to mark Irvin’s 1st 100 days in office

By Steve Lord

The Beacon-News

Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin said a new pedestrian bridge over the Fox River will be built in the city in 2018.

That news came at an event Friday at Aurora University’s Crimi Auditorium, where Irvin discussed his first 100 days in office and made some announcements about future projects as well.

He got a last-minute visit from Gov. Bruce Rauner, who chose Aurora and the mayor’s event as the place to sign the bill reauthorizing the River Edge Redevelop-

ment Zone tax credit program through Jan. 1, 2022. The program allows for tax credits to redevelop historic buildings in downtowns along rivers in some of Illinois’ older cities, including Aurora.

On his second day in office,

Irvin testified before the General Assembly in favor of reauthorizing the program, and on his 100th day in office, Rauner came to Aurora to sign the bill — surrounded by legislators from both parties who sponsored it and helped promote it.

“That’s partnership,” Irvin said.

“That’s what we have to have here in Aurora.”

One of the big announcements of the day was that the federal government has added another $3.4 million in Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality money to the $8.2 million already secured by the city of Aurora for a project to redo the parking lot, relocate the bus pulse point and change the entrance to the Aurora TransTurn to Mayor, Page 4

An anti-violence rally in downtown Aurora Saturday was organized as a response to the violence last weekend in Charlottesville, Va.

Americans ‘need to be united against racism’ Aurora event calls for solidarity against hate, violence after Charlottesville attack

By David Sharos The Beacon-News

The ripple effects from last weekend’s violence in Charlottesville, Va., are being felt across the country, including in Aurora.

A week after a car sped into a crowd of counterprotesters at a white nationalist rally, a much more peaceful event was held in Aurora.

“We need to stand up and be counted and stand against the voices on social media and show the perpetrators of violence that a small number of people can be larger,” Shoaib Khadri, president of the Islamic Center of Naperville, said at an anti-violence rally at Peace Park in Aurora.

YWCA Aurora Executive Director Melissa Nigro said she has received “a lot of calls, emails and Facebook postings since last week” and that “we

felt we needed to take some kind of action following the Charlottesville events.”

“We’ve been talking to other national organizations throughout the country this week, and we decided a peace vigil was needed for us to come together and show soli-

darity for those who are suffering as well as all of us impacted by these extremist events,” Nigro said. “Other organizations are having similar events as there has been a national call to action.”

Nigro said it was important to “show solidarity and provide a contrast to the violence.”

“The imagery of torches, the chanting and the violence were disturbing,” Nigro said about the event in Charlottesville. “We must trust people of color when they say that these displays are indicative of daily racial injustices and threats that communities of color continue to face.”

Khadri said “it was appalling that 53 years after the Civil Rights Act, we’re still here talking about race.”

“That’s the bad news that we still have this intolerance, but the good news is events like this and our voices can be heard,” he said.

Some Fox Valley students will be kept in their school buildings during Monday’s solar eclipse.

Students in Oswego-based Community Unit School District 308 and the youngest students in Algonquin-based School District 300 are among those who will be kept inside, officials said, citing safety precautions. Both districts have made other plans for the eclipse.

Monday marks the first time since 1918 that a coast-to-coast total solar eclipse will occur in the U.S. Scientists and historians are calling it the Great American Eclipse.

Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin, right, gives the thumbs-up Friday during the event to honor his first 100 days in office.

Irvin says 1st 100 days ‘just the beginning’

Mayor Richard Irvin’s address to discuss his first 100 days in office was, as expected, a well-attended pep rally that drew plenty of cheers, applause and laughs, not to mention several important announcements, at Aurora University’s Crimi Auditorium on Friday afternoon.

And though no big awards were handed out, after checking through my notes, I offer up a few of my own.

busy mayor when he says he has “no time” for a dog — and Voigt admitted later she too had never owned a dog, but after meeting Leroy while touring the shelter with staff members, she couldn’t resist her boss’ suggestion to take the little guy home.

Leroy, of course, got all sorts of oohs and ahs from the crowd. But it was newly named Deputy Mayor Chuck Nelson who received the longest and most enthusiastic applause when he was introduced by his boss.

Even Irvin, as Nelson stepped onstage, had to acknowledge the longtime city employee’s popularity with Aurora residents. “Everybody,” he said, “loves Chuck.”

Ain’t that the doggone truth.

Best preshow gaffes

Most improved performance

Denise Crosby

Not more than a couple of minutes after state Rep. Stephanie Kifowit, D-Oswego, introduced herself to the crowd as their alderman, Gov. Bruce Rauner, who was on hand to sign a bill extending the River Edge Redevelopment Zone Program, stood before the Aurora crowd and said how happy he was to be in Rockford.

Say where?

It took only a quick glance from the mayor for our busy, and skinnier than ever, guv to realize his mistake — and go on to praise the secondlargest city in his state for all it is and all it can be.

Rauner, who I’m guessing is quicker on his feet after so many years jousting with Mike Madigan, cited his busy travel schedule — Chicago, Aurora, Rockford, Springfield, all in one day — for the awkward mistake.

As for our popular state representative, no doubt after more than four years in Springfield, this former Aurora alderman often wishes she was back in local politics.

Most popular guy onstage

This next award came down to two excellent choices. And I hope the two-legged co-winner does not take offense.

Leroy Jenkins is the adorable Chihuahua that the mayor bravely held onstage in his expensively tailored arms for a few minutes at the beginning of his presentation to promote this weekend’s Clear the Shelter initiative.

The pooch’s owner is actually the mayor’s assistant chief of staff Alex Voigt — how can you question this

I’d like to hand this award to “The Star-Spangled Banner” vocalist Nathaniel Mojica, 12, who also was invited to sing our national anthem for the city’s Fourth of July festivities. As good as this Waldo Middle School student was when I heard his performance before the downtown Aurora parade, he seemed to be even better Friday.

Perhaps it was the acoustics of the beautiful Crimi Auditorium. But it also seemed as if young Nathaniel had gained more confidence over the past six weeks, putting more personality into his performance and hitting some of those difficult notes with greater ease. Kudos to this bright young talent and the spotlight he’s found himself under after moving here last year with his single mom from Chicago.

However, I do believe the distinction of most improved performance goes to the mayor himself.

As a former trial attorney who has run for mayor and alderman multiple times, Irvin certainly has always been a good speaker with a strong message. But there’s no doubt that, 100 days into this role he’s coveted for so long, the city’s 49th leader commands the stage — and he knows it.

Irvin loves the audience and plays to it with a passion and a humor that seems effortless.

David Karademas, who attended this event after getting a personal invitation from the mayor following the downtown developer’s muchpublicized critique of the city, described the mayor as “an eloquent and energetic speaker.” And as the

city’s leader, he said, that is his most important attribute.

“Only the people of Aurora, including the many city employees,” he told me after the address, “can actually bring the changes that we all want to see. Mayor Irvin’s role is to pull them all together, and he has the magnetism to play that role well.”

Best parting words

Back to Karademas on this one.

On his return home to Milwaukee, he seemed more at peace with his decision to pull the plug on future downtown projects. While he’s no longer willing to shoulder losses “in hopes of a grand vision,” he told me following the AU gathering, if the renaissance he helped start reaches a point where further real estate renovations make financial sense, “I will, of course, throw my hat in the ring.”

Karademas also pointed out that if Aurora reaches that point, his involvement will no longer matter.

“If development makes economic sense, then the floodgates will open, and investors will pour into the city,” he said.

“Our best apartments are renting for $1,200 to $1,300 a month,” he added. “If the restaurant and entertainment entrepreneurs can continue to add mojo to downtown Aurora, the rents will reach the $1,600 to $2,000 levels necessary for development to occur on its own momentum.”

The city, he believes, is not far from the tipping point, but it needs “to believe in itself and support the downtown businesses that are the vanguard of the future,” he said.

Karademas, who had plenty of people seek him out inside the auditorium to thank him for his work in Aurora, claimed that, despite the bad breakup and his insistence that “government being government” stymied his 20-year development plan for the downtown, he enjoyed the mayor’s celebration.

“Watching the strength of the Aurora community is always an inspiration to me,” he insisted. “As I have said many times, it is a town full of talent and dedication. ... Aurora has its prosperity in its own hands.”

The mayor’s final words certainly echoed that sentiment. With 100 days down and 1,365 to go, Irvin told Friday’s crowd, “This is just the beginning.” dcrosby@tribpub.com

Woman cited in fatal Batavia crash Police say Aurora driver speeding, ran red light

By Hannah Leone The Beacon-News

A 28-year-old Aurora woman has been cited in connection with a July car crash that killed a 57-yearold Batavia man.

Noel Lounsbury has been cited for speeding and disobeying a traffic control signal in connection with the July 9 crash resulting in the death of Terry W. Starck.

Police issued the citations Wednesday to Lounsbury, 28, of the 3000 block of Waters Edge Circle in Aurora, said Batavia police Watch Cmdr. Eric Blowers.

Lounsbury could not be reached for comment.

At 8:40 a.m. July 9, Batavia police were dispatched to North Randall Road and McKee Street, where a 2012 Jeep Wrangler driven by Lounsbury had collided with a 2016 Buick LaCrosse driven by Starck, according to a news release from the Batavia Police Department.

According to their investigation, Lounsbury was driving the Jeep 53 mph in a 45 mph zone and ran a red light at the intersection.

Starck was driving the LaCrosse at an unspecified “low speed,” starting to accelerate from a stop, Blowers said.

Police previously said eastbound and westbound traffic had green arrows for turning left onto Randall Road.

The westbound LaCrosse, which was turn-

ing south on Randall, struck the northbound Wrangler, police said.

Batavia firefighters and medics extricated Starck from the LaCrosse, police said. Though a LifeFlight helicopter was called, police said due to his injuries Starck was instead taken by ambulance to Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital in Geneva, where he was pronounced dead. Police said Lounsbury was also taken to Delnor, where she was treated for minor injuries and released. Both drivers were wearing their seat belts, and neither had any passengers, Blowers said.

Batavia police said they cited Lounsbury, who has a mandatory appearance Sept. 5 at Kane County Branch Court, after consulting with the Kane

County state’s attorney’s office.

“We screened the case with the state’s attorney’s office,” Blowers said.

“These were the charges they recommended.”

In an emailed statement, Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon said his office reviewed “all of the available evidence and information about this case” with Batavia police.

“These are the appropriate charges,” McMahon said. “There was no evidence of drugs, alcohol, texting, driving at an excessive speed or recklessness. ... This traffic crash had horrific results and the driver cited was at fault, but she did not commit a felony.” hleone@tribpub.com Twitter @hannahmleone

Families get up-close look at insects, try edible versions at annual Bugfest

By Gloria Casas The Beacon-News

Gwennie Krodel made a face at the salt-and-vinegar cricket in her hand just before she popped the bug into her mouth.

Her friend, Ruby Fusek, was a bit nervous about trying a bacon-and-cheese cricket at the Fox Valley Park District’s eighth annual Bugfest on Saturday.

“It tasted a little weird,” Fusek said.

The 8-year-old Batavia girls ate a few crickets and mealworms. The barbeque cricket was “gross,” Fusek said, but the mealworms went down easier.

“These are a little leggy,” Lesley Kolaya, manager of youth and family programs at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, said of the crickets.

“The mealworms are mentally easier. But they all taste pretty good.”

The Morton Arboretum’s edible bugs were just some of the highlights of Bugfest, held at Lippold Park on Route 25 in Batavia. This year’s festival also featured the groups Butterflies are Everywhere, Kane County Audubon, the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County, Hickory Knolls and Crosstown Exotics.

Families learned about the benefits of insects and

their role in pollinating plants, aerating soil and connecting the food chain for humans, said Margaret Gazdacka, Red Oak Nature Center naturalist and facility manager.

“Bugs hold a bit of intrigue for everybody, but they’re often viewed as nothing more than pests,” Gazdacka said. “They’re actually pretty amazing creatures that play a huge role in nature.”

“Bugs are not as scary as people think they are,” said Mike Levins, of Crosstown GLORIA CASAS/BEACON-NEWS PHOTOS Exotics.

portation Center and the Two Brothers restaurant and brewery at the Roundhouse.

The project includes a pedestrian bridge connecting the west and east banks of the Fox River over Blues Island, and connecting parking lots on the west side to RiverEdge Park. That bridge would allow commuters to use those lots.

The city also has received a $2 million grant from the Forest Preserve District of Kane County because the pedestrian bridge connects the bike trails on both sides of the river.

Ken Schroth, Aurora’s public works director, said the federal government told Aurora it would get the extra $3.4 million for the project and also allowed the city to move the project up one year, from 2019 to 2018.

Schroth said Aurora can begin allowing bids for the project next spring, instead of a year later. The whole $13.5 million project will take two years, he said.

As he stood below an artist’s rendering of the bridge, Irvin announced to the crowd Friday, “The pedestrian bridge will be built next year.”

Irvin also used the opportunity to allow West Aurora Superintendent Jeff Craig to talk about efforts to change the school funding formula downstate. He also introduced fire Chief Gary Krienitz and police Deputy Chief Keith Jackson, who touted some of the things that have happened with their departments since Irvin became mayor.

Krienitz said that, in May, 19 new firefighters were sworn in; and recently four new police officers were sworn in, Jackson said. Police also have looked at

developing an intelligence center for investigations and enforcement, have talked to the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives about getting a machine to evaluate bullets used in crimes, and have looked at having a private law firm prosecute drunken driving cases to save overtime and increasing training for police — something the City Council is set to vote on next week.

“If you liked the first 100 days, there are 1,361 days left in Mayor Irvin’s term,” Jackson said. “Stay tuned.”

Irvin also took the time to introduce and bring to the stage his mayor’s office staff and had Alex Alexandrou, chief management officer, explain the new administrative setup that would have nine departments at City Hall.

During this time, while

talking about a new Development Services Department that would combine development, permit and neighborhood services under one roof, Alexandrou announced that if the aldermen approve that reorganization, it will literally be under one roof.

Earlier this year, the city took over ownership of the former PNC Bank building at Benton Street and Broadway — some know it as the former Home Savings & Loan building — and Alexandrou announced the new Development Services Department would be housed entirely in that building.

Irvin said the new department would make sure people “have the ability to develop quickly.”

“One Aurora equals onestop shopping,” he said.

Irvin had Adrienne Hol-

loway, the new chief innovation officer, talk about the town meetings and other information-gathering events his transition team held. Holloway said so far there is a preliminary plan of highlights but that there will be a “more robust” final plan to show what Aurorans want.

“I wanted to make sure the transition wasn’t just about me going into the mayor’s office,” Irvin said.

“It’s about transitioning Aurora.”

Irvin joked that the first 100 days have been kind of a honeymoon for him.

“But as you know, every honeymoon comes to an end,” he said. “I hope it doesn’t. Everything I’m doing is for the greater good of Aurora. And recognize, this is just the beginning.” slord@tribpub.com

“We have the ability to eliminate racism, and the young people need to see us as role models so they can stand on our shoulders and touch the stars,” she said.

Those in attendance ranged from senior citizens to youngsters like Addison Faber, 9, of North Aurora, who came with her father, Christopher Faber, who said he felt it was important to stand together.

“We need to be united against racism, and in general, I think this sends a good message for my daughter to see this and be

Addison said she has a diverse group of friends and that her mother told her “to stand up for them.”

“People in this country have anger issues and just

don’t accept differences,” she said.

Helane Aghayere, of Aurora, said “we have a long way to go before we become united” and that too many people make judgments based on what they see.

“It all starts with the eyes, and people see things and begin to judge, and because of the history we

have and things in social media, we keep imprinting the young kids,” she said.

Zachary Draves, who attends Aurora University, said he wanted to be present Saturday because he has “a passion regarding inequality and justice.”

“I’ve been at events like this before, and as a nation that is diverse and multicultural, this is an attack against all of us,” Draves said about Charlottesville.

“What I get out of things like this is I’m really committed to justice and equality and you’re with people that are the same way. It gives me fulfillment and makes a difference.”

Citing safety, schools will keep some students inside Eclipse, from Page 1

In the Chicago area, viewers will see only a partial eclipse. The moon will begin to block the sun around 11:54 a.m. and eventually cover up to 87 percent of the sun’s surface by about 1:19 p.m.

Downstate Carbondale is within the 70-mile swath where the sun will be completely blocked by the moon.

Some area districts, such as West Aurora School District 129, will take students outdoors to view the event.

West Aurora purchased 13,000 NASA-certified viewing glasses directly through the agency’s website using some of the money from a $1 million grant the district received for science equipment and supplies from the Aurora-based Dunham Fund last year, district spokesman Tony Martinez said.

The district required permission slips for elementary school and middle school students, and it offered optout forms for high school students’ parents. Preschoolers will not be going outside because it would be difficult to ensure their glasses are on and stay on properly, Martinez said.

The eclipse offers a chance for students to experience an event, rather than read about it, he said.

“This is an event that doesn’t happen very often,” Martinez said. “And we thought with the professional development we gave to our staff on how to properly and safely view the eclipse, we thought it would be safe.”

But other districts, such as the districts in Oswego and Algonquin, are taking a more cautious approach.

Several school officials cautioned that damage can be done to the eyes during an eclipse. District 300 Superintendent Fred Heid said eyes do not function normally during an eclipse because of the dim lighting.

NANCY STONE/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Some Fox Valley school officials have concerns about the glasses and have chosen to not let students outside to watch the solar eclipse Monday.

Still, ultraviolet rays, which can have a long-term effect on eyesight, come at the eyes. Heid The retina doesn’t have pain receptors, so it cannot tell sunlight is damaging the eye.

In Oswego’s District 308, students will view the eclipse via a live stream, and teachers have been given resources to include the eclipse in their lessons. But, from about 11:50 a.m. until about 2:30 p.m., students will be kept indoors “to protect students from the dangers of viewing the sun,” Superintendent John Sparlin wrote in a letter to parents.

Though protective eclipse glasses exist, Sparlin cited reports of recalls and counterfeit glasses being sold and of concerns with the proper use and positioning of the glasses.

“Because the damage can be irreversible blindness, we’re just choosing not to

risk that,” spokeswoman Theresa Komitas said.

The district wants to Sparlin recognize the event as a historical phenomenon that doesn’t often occur in this area, Komitas said. But officials don’t want to take chances with students’ vision, and the timing of the event days after the start of the district’s school year would have made collecting permission slips difficult, she said.

Students who miss school because a parent pulled them out to view the eclipse will have an excused absence.

In Algonquin-area District 300, the youngest students will be kept indoors during the eclipse. Fifthgrade teachers can choose to conduct outdoor activities, and secondary-level students will be able to go outside unless a parent or guardian opts them out.

In an online message,

Heid said he is concerned about the safety of students, regarding in particular the glasses. Some are too big and too loose for a child, Heid said. The darkness and tint of the glasses likely will trigger younger students to peer around them for a better look, he said.

Heid said he finds “tremendous value in teachable moments,” and the solar eclipse will help students connect a real-world event to a concept they have learned about. The district took time to order safety glasses and provide information for teachers, but “safety concerns” made him change elementary participation.

“Regardless of the time and emphasis placed on safety,” he said, “some students may not fully grasp the fact that their eyes could be damaged if they stare at the partial eclipse.”

Police: Drunk driver drove wrong way on Interstate 88

By Bill Bird Naperville Sun

An intoxicated man who took police on a high-speed chase going the wrong way on Interstate 88 from Naperville to Oak Brook was captured when his car ran out of gas, Illinois State Police said said.

The incident began about 10:25 p.m. Aug. 13 when Julio C. Mendoza, 33, with addresses in Maywood and Villa Park, was pulled over by state police on westbound I-88 near Naperville Road after motorists reported seeing an erratic driver, Master Sgt. Paul Sarat said.

The trooper noted that Mendoza, who was traveling with a female passenger and a toddler in the back seat, smelled of alcohol so he asked him to get out of the car, Sarat said.

An Aurora man has been convicted of attempted murder for trying to slash a man to death with a knife.

A Kane County jury on Thursday convicted 35year-old Shaun J. Ramirez of attempted murder and armed violence, both class X felonies.

The jurors deliberated for about 2 1⁄2 hours before they reached the verdict, according to a news release from the Kane County state’s attorney’s office.

Kane County Assistant State’s Attorneys Lori Anderson and Matthew Rodgers presented evidence that about 7 p.m. Dec. 21, the victim and Ramirez were talking outside Ramirez’s home in the 1300 block of North Glen Circle.

Ramirez, who was intoxicated, punched the victim in the mouth, prosecutors said.

As the victim began to walk away, Ramirez slashed him on the left side of his body with a knife,

The landlord for the Dunkin’ Donuts property on Burroughs Avenue in Plano is going to have a lot of dough coming back from the city.

A water utility bill refund of $60,554.56 will go to 236 Westgate LLC, the owner of the property. The payment was unanimously approved by the City Council.

Mayor Bob Hausler said that after the Dunkin’ Donuts structure was built in 2011, a commercial water meter used to determine the water bills was installed and programmed by a city employee.

Hausler said that after some time had passed, the landlord came to the city questioning the unusually high water bills they had received. A representative from the city’s Public Works Department inspected the building on various occasions looking for water leaks or other issues that could result in higher billings.

“Over the years the city continued to keep looking to

find a resolution for this because (the unusually high water bills) never made sense,” said Rich Healy, director of the Plano Area Chamber of Commerce, who had been involved in some of the conversations.

More recently, the water superintendent diagnosed the problem as faulty programming in the water meter. The city recalculated the water bills that had been paid over the years and determined that a total of $60,554.56 had been overpaid.

Healy was pleased with the outcome and said, “this really shows how the city of

Plano wants to be business friendly.”

Hausler said that the water superintendent has been scrutinizing other commercial water bills to ensure that the programming error did not affect any other businesses, and he emphasized that commercial establishments are the only ones that use that type of programmed meter.

Water meters used in residents’ homes are not the same and are therefore not subject to such programming errors, he said.

Developers intend to build Transitional Care of Aurora at New York Street and Station Boulevard.

Aurora council to vote on care facility plan Company provides rehabilitative services

By Steve Lord

The Beacon-News

The Aurora City Council is set to vote on a final plan for a 50,582-square-foot, 60-bed transitional care facility on the far East Side of Aurora.

Aldermen will consider the plan for IH Fox Valley Owner LLC, which plans to build the facility, called Transitional Care of Aurora, on the north side of New York Street, west of Station Boulevard, in the Plaza on New York subdivision, across the street from the Fox Valley Mall.

The plan is on the council’s consent agenda for the full meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the council chambers, City Hall, 44 E. Downer Place.

The facility would be run by the same company that runs Transitional Care of Arlington Heights, which is about twice the size of the proposed facility in Aurora.

The company also has plans for facilities in Lisle and

Mundelein.

The City Council approved the preliminary plan almost a year ago, in September 2016. Officials from the company said then that the care facility is something kind of new on the market, a place offering rehabilitative services in a non-nursing home setting.

Officials said it would bring in 80 high-paying health care jobs.

Aldermen approved the concept of the facility after studying what traffic impact it might have on the area and on New York Street, the busy main eastwest thoroughfare into and through Aurora.

The area was first proposed for development in 2005, but market conditions delayed that. Originally designed as five commercial lots, the transitional care center would be on two lots and portions of two other lots, which are being combined into two larger lots.

The last lot still is reserved for commercial development at a future point.

Officials for the development argued that the transitional care facility

would generate less traffic than what was originally planned for the site when it was going to be completely commercial.

There was some concern about ambulances coming and going, but officials said it would generate fewer emergency calls than the nearby residential areas of Plaza on New York. Most of the time, the calls would not need ambulances to use their sirens at night.

In addition to approving the final plan, aldermen are expected to eliminate a right-in, right-out access point to the facility from New York Street. When they approved the preliminary plan last year, it was approved with two access points onto Gabrielle Lane, the first street to the north of New York.

Officials thought the access to New York was unnecessary and would only cause traffic problems on New York. At the time, some nearby residents complained that it would put too much traffic onto Gabrielle Lane. slord@tribpub.com

ELECTION 2018 WILL COUNTY CLERK

Lockport Twp. clerk eyes seat 4 candidates attempt to replace Voots

By Susan DeMar Lafferty Daily Southtown

A heated race is shaping up for the Will County clerk’s seat this spring, as a fourth candidate has announced her intention to run in the March 18 primary — Lockport Township Clerk Denise Mushro-Rumchak.

Since Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots announced her retirement at the end of her fourth term in 2018, four candidates have emerged weeks before the election season officially begins. Joining Mushro-Rumchak on the Democratic ticket is county board member Lauren Staley-Ferry. To date, there are two Republicans candidates, Mary Kay Campbell, current employee in Voots’ office, and former county official Laurie McPhillips.

NEIGHBORS Whiskey Acres blends farm, distillery 3 owners apply idea of terroir to making spirits

By Zak Stambor Chicago Tribune

The vision behind Whiskey Acres, a farm-tobottle distillery in DeKalb County, is simple: to bring the concept of terroir, the taste and flavor imparted by the land, to distilled spirits.

Surrounded by a sea of corn and soybeans about 70 miles west of Chicago, Whiskey Acres is owned by three farmers. That background, as well as the 635square-mile county itself where corn accounts for about two-thirds of the farmland, is key to understanding how the distillery approaches the grain that makes up the majority of its spirits.

“Not all corn is created equal,” says Nick Nagele, the distillery’s vice president and chief operating officer. He’s standing next to the farm’s show plots, a small patch of land across the parking lot from the distillery’s tasting room, where visitors to Whiskey Acres can see the corn, rye and wheat that the distillery uses in its spirits. “Not all yellow dent corn is created equal,” he adds, referring to the variety of corn that Whiskey Acres uses in its flagship bourbon.

Given that mindset, since the distillery opened in 2014, it has worked to identify the ideal varieties of yellow dent, rye and winter wheat. At the same time, the distillery has experimented with a number of varieties of corn, including Glass Gem, Oaxacan green corn and Bloody Butcher, for its limited release, artisan series that it sells on-site.

Whiskey Acres is located on roughly 2,000 acres that the family of Whiskey Acres’ co-founder Jim Walter has been farming since the 1930s. Until a few years ago, the farm sold the grains it produced as a commodity. But commodity farming has grown increasingly difficult, and about five years ago, Walter found himself at a crossroads. “We reached a point where we’d either have to buy out our neighbors or diversify our business,” he says.

He and his son Jamie, along with Nagele, decided to open a distillery that would showcase the “highquality grain” produced on farm. “We distill the best of the best of what we grow,” Jim Walter says.

Because the farm is intrinsic to the distillery, Whiskey Acres only distills grains grown on the farm, which meant it wouldn’t source whiskey when it opened its doors, as many

While the distillery only

uses about 5 percent of the farm’s yield, Nagele expects that percentage to rise as the distillery grows.

For now, the distillery’s products are distributed in Illinois. A significant share of its business stems from visitors to the farm, who go to the tasting room, which is housed in a renovated picnic shed, or imbibe on the cocktail patio, as well as tour the distillery.

Tapping into tourism makes sense, as the farm is tied to the story of Whiskey Acres. “We can tell you the type of seed planted on a particular acre, when we planted it, harvested it, barreled it and bottled it,” Nagele says. “That’s important for quality, and it also makes for a good story.”

Border Patrol left in tight corner Trump vowed to hire 5K agents — but it never happened

By Joseph Tanfani

Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — Five days after President Donald Trump took office, he signed an executive order that promised a swift, sharp crackdown on illegal immigration — immediate construction of a massive border wall, quick hiring of 5,000 new Border Patrol agents and stepped-up deportation of undocumented migrants.

“Beginning today, the United States of America gets back control of its borders,” Trump declared at the Jan. 25 ceremony at the Department of Homeland Security, which controls federal immigration agencies.

Seven months later, construction of the wall has yet to begin, the number of Border Patrol officers has dropped by 220, and immigration agents are on track to deport 10,000 fewer people this year than in President Barack Obama’s last year in office, the latest figures show.

To be sure, part of Trump’s crackdown is showing dramatic results.

Illegal border crossings are down 22 percent compared with last summer.

Arrests of people in the country illegally have surged 43 percent since January, including longtime residents who bought homes, paid taxes and raised families here.

The sharpest increase in arrests was of undocumented migrants without criminal convictions —

A Border Patrol instructor yells at trainees at the U.S. Border Patrol Academy this month. Their numbers have dropped by 220 since January.

24,189 under Trump, nearly three times as many as Obama in the first seven months of last year.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials say the slower pace in deportations — from 240,000 last fiscal year to an expected 230,000 this year — is misleading.

Sarah Rodriguez, an ICE spokeswoman, attributed the shift to fewer people being caught and sent back at the border. Removals from inside the country have surged.

But other pledges that Trump made the keystone of his campaign have stalled, or even slid backward, a reflection of the gap between his broad promises and the practical reality of

remaking the government’s vast immigration enforcement apparatus.

The challenges are especially steep at the longtroubled Border Patrol, the nation’s largest law enforcement agency. Operating from boats, planes, cars and horses, the green-uniformed Border Patrol officers hold the front line to secure the 2,000-mile Southwest border.

After the terrorist attacks of 2001, Congress doubled the size of the Border Patrol to more than 20,000 to enhance border security.

But hampered by poor morale, hiring problems and high attrition, the agency hasn’t met that goal since 2013.

Staffing has drifted

downward since 2010, and the agency now has 2,000 vacancies — with 220 fewer agents than when Trump took office, records show.

Based on attrition and hiring rates, the agency would need to screen 750,000 applicants to meet Trump’s goal of hiring 5,000 qualified agents, according to a July report by the inspector general at the Department of Homeland Security.

Linda Jacksta, an assistant commissioner over human resources at Customs and Border Protection, parent agency of the Border Patrol, said officials are determined to reverse the slide. But she said they probably won’t do so before 2018. The Border Patrol

now has a goal of hiring 500 officers next year, she said, and is trying to recruit former military and law enforcement officers.

“It’s a corner that we have been trying to turn for the past two years,” Jacksta said.

Getting there won’t be easy. Most applicants wash out in a gauntlet of screening reviews and tests — drug tests, fitness tests, a background criminal investigation and a polygraph test.

Drug traffickers have repeatedly bribed or otherwise compromised Border Patrol officers. More than 170 officers have been arrested and convicted of corruption in recent years, including some caught working for the Mexican drug

cartels they were supposed to be fighting.

Many of the agency’s hiring troubles are of its own making, according to a series of stinging internal audit reports that describe a hiring process mired in inefficiency.

Another inspector general’s report in July found that the agency spent more than $5 million giving polygraph tests to applicants who had already admitted in their job interviews to crimes or other conduct that disqualified them.

Trump isn’t deterred.

“Our borders are far tougher than ever before!” he said on Twitter on Friday. joseph.tanfani@latimes.com

Counterprotesters eclipse Boston rally Trump tweets support to those ‘speaking out’ against bigotry

By Steve LeBlanc

Associated Press

BOSTON — Thousands of demonstrators chanting anti-Nazi slogans converged Saturday on downtown Boston in a boisterous repudiation of white nationalism, dwarfing a small group of conservatives who cut short what they billed as a “free speech rally” a week after a gathering of hate groups led to bloodshed in Charlottesville, Va. Counterprotesters marched through the city to historic Boston Common, where many gathered near a bandstand abandoned early by conservatives who had planned to deliver a series of speeches.

Police vans later escorted the conservatives out of the area, and angry counterprotesters scuffled with officers trying to maintain order.

Members of the Black Lives Matter movement later protested on the Common, where a Confederate flag was burned and protesters pounded on the sides of a police vehicle.

President Donald Trump

initially took to Twitter to dub the counterprotesters “anti-police agitators” and compliment the police, tweeting: “Looks like many anti-police agitators in Boston. Police are looking tough and smart! Thank you.”

In later tweets, his tone seemed to shift. He applauded the people in Boston for “speaking out” against bigotry and hate.

Trump added in a Twitter message that “Our country will soon come together as one!”

Boston Commissioner William Evans said 27 arrests were made — mostly for disorderly conduct, while some were for assaulting police officers. Officials said the rallies drew about 40,000 people.

“Thank God nobody got hurt,” Evans said during an afternoon news briefing.

“We didn’t want what happened in Virginia here … we didn’t want that.”

Earlier in the day, even as the protests were largely peaceful, tensions were running high.

Police helicopters circled overhead as officers kept

the groups separated. The “free speech” group — about 50 in total — were dwarfed by counterprotesters associated with a “Fight White Supremacy” rally in which participants marched from Roxbury, a historically black neighborhood in Boston, to Boston Common.

A little before 1 p.m., the demonstrators were escorted from the Common by police in the opposite direction from the huge crowd of counterprotesters.

“Go home, losers,” chanted the counterprotesters, many of whom carried signs with anti-racism slogans. “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA,” read one.

Another protester carried a sign with a photo of Heather Heyer, the woman killed at the Charlottesville protest. It read, “American hero.”

Myiesha Wilson, 28, of Boston, said she came out to show her sons, ages 5 and 8, that opponents of racism were speaking out.

It’s about everyone out here coming together, taking a stand for peace in a

Police said officers arrested 27 people at the mostly peaceful rallies Saturday in Boston.

nonviolent way,” Wilson said.

Organizers of the conservative event had publicly distanced themselves from the neo-Nazis, white supremacists and others who fomented violence in Charlottesville on Aug. 12. Heyer, 32, was killed at that rally and 19 others were injured when a car plowed into counterprotesters.

Opponents feared that white nationalists might show up in Boston, raising the specter of ugly confrontations in the first potentially large and racially charged gathering in a major U.S. city since Charlottesville.

One of the planned speakers of the conservative activist rally said the event “fell apart.”

Congressional candidate Samson Racioppi, who was among several slated to speak, told WCVB-TV that he didn’t realize “how unplanned of an event it was going to be.”

Chris Hood, a rally attendee, said peoptle were unfairly making it seem like the rally was going to be “a white supremacist Klan rally.”

“That was never the intention,” he said.

Rallies also were planned across the country, including Atlanta, Dallas and New

Orleans.

Protesters gathered Saturday outside Trump’s private golf club in New Jersey where he is wrapping up a 17-day vacation.

The protesters staged a “No Hate in the Garden State” rally, with those in attendance rebuking Trump’s handling of the protests in Charlottesville.

Many also blasted his assertion that “both sides” — the white supremacists and the counterprotesters — were to blame for the violence that left one protester dead.

Wreck of lost WWII warship USS Indianapolis found

By Lisa Rein

The Washington Post

Naval researchers announced Saturday that they have found the wreckage of the World War II cruiser USS Indianapolis on the floor of the Pacific Ocean, 72 years after the vessel was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine.

The ship was found almost 31⁄2 miles below the Philippine Sea, said a tweet from Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Paul

Allen, who led a team of civilian researchers that made the discovery.

Historians and architects from the Naval History and Heritage Command in Washington had joined forces with Allen last year to revisit the tragedy.

The ship sank in 15 minutes on July 30, 1945, in the war’s final days, and it took the Navy four days to realize that the ship was missing.

About 800 of the crew’s 1,200 sailors and Marines made it off the cruiser

The torpedoed USS Indianapolis sank July 30, 1945.

before it sank. But almost 600 died over the next four to five days from exposure, dehydration, drowning and shark attacks.

The Indianapolis had just completed a top-secret mission to deliver components of the atomic bomb “Little Boy” to the island of Tinian.

The bomb was later dropped on Hiroshima.

“While our search for the rest of the wreckage will continue, I hope everyone connected to this historic ship will feel some measure of closure at this discovery so long in coming,” Allen said in a statement.

The cruiser’s captain, Charles Butler McVay III, was among those who survived, but he was courtmartialed and convicted of losing control of the vessel.

Years later, McVay was

posthumously exonerated

by Congress and President Bill Clinton.

The shipwreck’s location had eluded researchers for decades. The coordinates keyed out in an SOS signal were forgotten by survivors and were not received by Navy ships or shore stations, the Navy command said.

The ship is an official war grave, which means it is protected by law from disturbances. No recovery efforts are planned.

Sporting goods stocks falter as rally fades

By Marley Jay

Associated Press

NEW YORK — U.S. stocks slumped in the final minutes of trading Friday and ended a rough week with more losses. Bad news from sporting goods retailers weighed on the market.

A day before, stocks had taken their biggest loss in three months. They opened lower after retailers Foot Locker and Hibbett Sports gave dour quarterly reports.

The losses eased and stocks briefly turned higher following reports that President Donald Trump’s chief strategist, Steve Bannon, left his White House post.

Investors felt that makes it more likely the administration can achieve some of its pro-business agenda.

Major stock indexes are at their lowest levels since early July as investors respond to tensions between the U.S. and North Korea, two terrorist attacks in Spain on Thursday, and mounting challenges to the Trump agenda of tax cuts, infrastructure spending and reduced regulation.

But the market hasn’t had a severe reaction. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index is only 2.2 percent below the record high it set earlier this month.

“There is a tremendous amount of optimism that is supporting the market even in the face of extraordinary stress,” said Brad McMillan, chief investment officer at Commonwealth Financial Network. “The question is, will politics pull that down? And the answer seems to be no because the market has learned not to pay that much attention.”

The S&P 500 lost 4.46 points, or 0.2 percent, to 2,425.55. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 76.22 points, or 0.35 percent, to 21,674.51. The Nasdaq composite shed 5.39 points, or 0.1 percent, to 6,216.53. The Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks gave up 1.15 point, or 0.1 percent, to 1,357.79. The index has fallen 6 percent since July 25.

Athletic gear retailer Foot Locker plunged to its biggest loss in almost nine years. The company said some highpriced sneakers didn’t sell as well as it hoped, and there aren’t a lot of exciting new shoes on the market. It doesn’t expect that problem to clear up soon, and it plans to close at least 135 stores, up from 100.

The stock dropped $13.32, or 27.9 percent, to $34.38 in heavy trading.

Hibbett Sports cut its annual forecasts and its stock fell 60 cents, or 5.2 percent, to $10.90. It’s down 71 percent this year, and Foot Locker has fallen 52 percent.

also lost ground, and Nike sank $2.51, or 4.4 percent, to $54.95.

Real estate companies that own shopping malls and other retail locations also fell. Simon Property Group declined $3.62, or 2.3 percent, to $153.58.

Deere tumbled after its sales in the fiscal third quarter came in lower than investors hoped. The company’s profit got a large boost after the company sold some of its stake in SiteOne Landscape Supply, and analysts said they were disappointed with the company’s equipment sales.

The stock dropped $6.67, or 5.4 percent, to $117.31.

Energy companies rose as benchmark U.S. crude oil jumped $1.42, or 3 percent, to $48.51 a barrel in New York. Brent crude, the international standard, added $1.69, or 3.3 percent, to $52.72 a barrel in London.

Beauty products company Estee Lauder jumped after its fiscal fourth-quarter results surpassed Wall Street’s expectations. The company also gave strong forecasts for the fiscal year. Its stock gained $7.60, or 7.7 percent, to $105.92.

Competitor Ulta Beauty picked up $2.77, or 1.1 percent, to $244.20.

Concerns about the prospects for Trump’s pro-business agenda, including tax cuts and infrastructure spending, weighed on the market this week as the president and the administration were criticized for their response to last weekend’s violence in Charlottesville, Va. “When you see congressmen and senators, including people who’ve been close with President Trump, backing away, that means Congress is going to have a tougher road,” said McMillan.

Early on, gold rose to its highest price since before the presidential election in November, but it finished down 80 cents at $1,291.60 an ounce.

Hiring increased in 11 U.S. states in July, while the unemployment rate tumbled to record lows in two states.

The Labor Department said Friday that unemployment rates were relatively stable in most states.

They fell in 15 states and rose in 23, but many of the changes were statistically insignificant.

A Canadian man accused in a massive hack of Yahoo emails agreed Friday to forgo his extradition hearing and go face the charges in the United States.

Karim Baratov was arrested in Hamilton, Ontario, in March under the Extradition Act after U.S. authorities indicted him and three others, including two alleged officers of Russia’s Federal Security Service.

They are accused of computer hacking, economic espionage and other crimes.

An extradition hearing for the 22-year-old Baratov had been scheduled for early September, but he signed documents before a Canadian judge Friday agreeing to waive it.

His lawyer, Amedeo DiCarlo, said that does not amount to an admission of guilt.

DiCarlo said the move will accelerate the legal process and was the best way to speed up discussions with the U.S. prosecutor.

U.S. marshals will soon be sent to fetch Baratov and take him to California, he added.

U.S. law enforcement officials call Baratov a “hacker-for-hire” paid by members of the Federal Security Service, or FSB, considered the successor to the KGB of the former Soviet Union. He has Kazakh origins, arrived in Canada in 2007 and became a citizen in 2011.

OPINION Confederate symbol lives at well-known cemetery Historic site contains remains of more than 4,000 Civil War soldiers

Ted Slowik Last weekend’s violence that claimed the life of a peaceful protester in Charlottesville, Va., prompted me to wonder why there isn’t more controversy surrounding Chicago’s Confederate monument.

The National Park Service encourages people to visit Confederate Mound in Oak Woods Cemetery at 1035 E. 67th St. The historic site is featured among Civil War-era national cemeteries promoted by the U.S. Department of the Interior.

“The monument marks a mass grave containing the remains of more than 4,000 Confederate prisoners, reinterred here from the grounds of the prison camp and the old Chicago City Cemetery,” NPS says on its website.

The Confederate soldiers buried there were captured when Union forces took Fort Donelson and Fort Henry in Tennessee in 1862. They were initially held at Camp Douglas in Chicago, a former training camp.

“Like all Civil War prisons, Camp Douglas had a high mortality rate: one prisoner in seven died in Chicago,” the “Encyclopedia of Chicago” said in 2004.

“Poor sanitation, hastily constructed buildings, and harsh weather conditions were to blame.”

The dead were initially buried at Chicago’s City Cemetery — which closed due to constant flooding — before being moved to Oak Woods in 1866. The site is described as the largest mass grave in the Western Hemisphere.

“At the time, no individual headstones marked the location of the graves,” the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ National Cemetery Association says on its website. “As a result, in the late 19th century a number of Confederate associations began fundraising campaigns to erect a memorial to the dead in the cemetery.”

Private funds paid for a 40foot tower made of Georgia granite topped by a bronze statue of a Confederate infantry soldier, arms folded across his chest. The figure is adapted from the painting “Appomattox” by John A. Elder.

President Grover Cleveland and his entire Cabinet were among the estimated 100,000 who attended the monument’s dedication on May 30, 1895. In 1903, Congress appropriated funds to improve the monument by adding six bronze plaques inscribed with the names of 4,243 Confederate soldiers known to be interred at the site.

More than 100 years later, many Chicagoans may be simply unaware their city is home to among the largest Confederate graveyards and monuments in

Confederate Mound at Oak Woods Cemetery on Chicago's South Side features a 40-foot granite monument topped by a bronze statue of an infantry soldier. The remains of more than 4,000 Confederate soldiers are buried at the site.

the North. Its tendency to be forgotten might explain some of the lack of controversy regarding Confederate Mound.

Yet, local media have periodically rediscovered Confederate Mound. TV, radio, print and online reporters spotlighted the memorial in 2015 when white supremacist Dylann Roof shot to death nine black parishioners during a service at a church in Charleston, S.C. The murders sparked removal of a Confederate flag from the South Carolina Statehouse and accelerated current debate about the appropriateness of Confederate statues in public spaces across the country.

A Confederate statue removed from downtown Gainesville, Fla., on Monday and the one protesters toppled in Durham, N.C., Monday night were among the hundreds of controversial monuments that stood in town squares and in front of courthouses.

As officials from St. Louis to New Orleans debate removing Confederate statues from public spaces, relocation to museums, burial grounds and other private land is often considered an appropriate solution.

Chicago’s Confederate Mound already is in a private cemetery, which might also explain the lack of complaints about it.

“I think there is a real difference between the monument in Oak Woods and the Confederate monuments across the South,” said Ann Keating, co-editor of “Encyclopedia of Chicago” and history professor at North Central College in Naperville.

“In the South, those monuments are defiant statements about the ‘lost cause.’ They memorialize the leaders of the Confederacy … In contrast, the monument at Oak Woods memorializes soldiers who lost their lives as prisoners of war.”

Though the cemetery is private, the federal government owns and administers the small plot of land on which Confederate Mound is located.

“It’s under our purview,” said

Solution to global warming:

Srey Austin, assistant director of Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Will County, south of Joliet.

“We’ve had no complaints” about the monument, she added.

In accordance with VA policy in place since 1973, Austin said, parties may submit written requests to hold public ceremonies and display Confederate flags at Confederate Mound and other national cemeteries twice a year —on Memorial Day and Confederate Memorial Day. Illinois does not observe Confederate Memorial Day, which is a public holiday in eight states.

State government offices are closed on the last Monday in April in Mississippi, Alabama and other states.

I’m surprised by the apparent lack of tension over a monument in Chicago that honors men who fought to perpetuate enslavement of blacks, especially considering the memorial is located in a cemetery where many prominent African-Americans are buried.

Oak Woods Cemetery is the final resting place for Harold Washington, Chicago’s first black mayor; Jesse Owens, the runner who upstaged Adolf Hitler and Nazis by winning four gold medals at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin; and civil rights leader Ida B. Wells, among others.

Many Confederate monuments were put up during the Jim Crow era to intimidate blacks, Keating said. But Confederate Mound represents something different: an effort by Congress to encourage reconciliation.

“The cemetery monument goes up in an era when healing sectional divisions was given precedence over protecting the rights of freedmen and freedwomen,” Keating said. “White men north and south united by this kind of memorial, and they were also united in their support of segregation.”

It’s ironic, then, how Confederate Mound is in relatively close proximity to the site of the proposed Barack Obama Presidential Center in Hyde Park.

That’s common, Keating said.

Confederate monuments compete with memorials symbolizing justice and freedom in public places from Memphis, Tenn., to Montgomery, Ala. “I think this sort of juxtaposition is found all over the country,” Keating said.

I wondered if Chicago’s Confederate monument exists to ease guilt Northerners might feel about the inhumane treatment of Southern soldiers held in captivity.

Then again, Keating said, the Confederacy’s stubborn refusal to regard captured black Union soldiers as POWs prompted Abraham Lincoln to cease prisoner exchanges. That’s why there were so many Confederate soldiers held in Chicago, and overcrowded conditions contributed to the deaths of many.

“Instead, they were treated as escaped slaves, so Lincoln refused to do the prisoner exchanges that had been going during the first years of the war,” Keating said. “So there is a connection between racism and the fact that there were all these Confederate prisoners in Chicago.”

I reached out to federal lawmakers to ask their positions on Confederate Mound, including Sens. Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth and Reps. Bobby Rush and Robin Kelly. All either declined comment or did not respond.

I visited Confederate Mound Monday afternoon. It’s a solemn place. I sat on a shaded bench near the memorial and quietly reflected upon the dead buried there, which include 12 Union soldiers who served as prison guards at Camp Douglas.

Confederate Mound is like a compromise, a sort of uneasy truce, I concluded. It’s an imperfect solution intended to appease people of diametrically opposite views and an effort to heal the divisions between them.

agreeing to this charge should be true to their convictions by beginning a nationwide effort to limit daily driving to the most minimal necessity.

nothing came of it, but there was definitely an attempt. Look at what the president said a couple of days before this meeting. He said he would come out with damaging information on Hillary Clinton. It never came out. I leave it to you to draw your own conclusions. Many of you will write it off because you are enablers of President Trump, as his own party is.

Trump’s self-inflictions: I

know as usual all the Trump supporters will blame the family’s self-inflicted wounds on people who voted for Hillary Clinton or the Democrats. The fact of the matter is this is all their doing.

Remember when (former Illinois Gov.) Rod Blagojevich went to prison? He didn’t do anything but try to sell something. He went to prison for his action. Now, if you don’t think this is collusion, then you may want to see a psychiatrist. That’s what this was. It was an attempt at collusion. Maybe

Letters to the editor Bill would help families cope with Alzheimer’s Caregiving for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease can be an emotionally, physically and financially draining role. When my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, I did not realize how devastating the effects of this health crisis truly are.

I have watched my mother rely more and more on help from others, to the point that she now lives in a residential facility. My dad still goes every day to spend time with her, helping her during mealtimes. I work full time, and so I am not able to be there as much as I’d like, something that has been very difficult emotionally at times.

Following my experiences, I have joined forces with the Alzheimer’s Association to encourage passage of the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act, or PCHETA (HR 1676).

When enacted, this bill would help establish an adequate, welltrained palliative care workforce through training, education, awareness and enhanced research. Palliative and hospice care are specific medical approaches that focus on increasing support for patients and their caregivers.

I want to encourage U.S. Rep. Bill Foster to co-sponsor this bill that will help open communication between patients, caregivers, doctors and staff and help ensure that quality care is available for those who are suffering.

He has been a strong supporter of Alzheimer’s legislation and research funding in the past, and we need leaders like him in Washington to champion this cause. More than 5 million Americans living with the disease and their caregivers depend on it.

Own our history, warts and all

What’s going on in America?

The anarchists and professional protesters are having field day.

Who’s to blame? The media for covering it, the “snowflakes” for their inability to handle reality and racists for their simple existence.

Protesting and being offended has become the new participatory sport, since you can’t play football or soccer anymore because of the potential head injuries. News flash: ditto for the protester/anarchist.

Now there’s a new movement: those wanting to remove historical statuary because it offends them. How come it took this long to offend them? These statues have been in place for, in some cases, over a century. Did they just have an awakening as to their supposed hideous offensiveness? Or are we kowtowing to a snowflake society where the only things not offensive (yet) are tree hugging and singing “Kumbaya,” although that offends me?

And don’t the rest of us have a say in their respective statuary fates?

The world condemned Islamic State for destroying antiquity because it doesn’t fit with Islamic ideology, yet a few protester/ anarchists are systematically dismantling the American historical fabric, dark as it may have been. And there’s no outrage! If you question their mob actions, you’re a racist, bigot, etc. Ah, political correctness lives.

The shunning of Jefferson’s Monticello estate is even discussed because he owned slaves.

Really?

Still under the influence of high pressure slowly moving off to the east, skies across the Chicago area Sunday will be mostly sunny, but temperatures and humidity will be on the increase with southerly flow up the backside of the receding high pressure pulling very warm, increasingly more moist air into our area.

Hot, humid air will remain in place Monday, but unfortunately for eclipse viewers, clouds and a developing band of showers and thunderstorms along and in advance of a cold front approaching from the north will slowly spread over our area. A lot can happen between now and Monday afternoon, but indications are that this advancing and slowly thickening cloud deck could create eclipse viewing problems, especially for those closer to the IllinoisWisconsin state line.

Man wants to connect with old crush Dear Amy: I am recently divorced. My

wife and I were separated for years, so my nonrelationship time is quite long. I don’t date and had no intention of looking for another relationship.

I recently attended a high school reunion. A woman whom I had a crush on in school was there, without a significant other. She is no longer using her maiden name, so I assume she was married, even if she isn’t any longer.

We were casual friends in school and chatted briefly at the reunion. She left early, so I didn’t have the opportunity to have a longer conversation.

In any case I wouldn’t have “hit on her” at the reunion, because I feel that would have been uncomfortable not only for us but also for our classmates.

If I had met her in different circumstances, I certainly would have invited her to meet for lunch or coffee and “chatted her up.”

We are old enough that it is uncertain if we will ever see each other again, so I don’t want to chance a “two ships passing in the night” situation. Of course, I have no idea if she would have any interest in me, even if she is unattached.

I figure I can: 1) Forgetaboutit 2) Ask a mutual friend on Facebook if they know if she is unattached and can offer their own suggestion 3) Contact the lady in question directly Option two risks a bit of embarrassment and might even be offensive to the friend. Option three risks more embarrassment and could be taken as very offensive by my old crush, especially if she is in a relationship.

Your suggestion?

— Wondering Dear Wondering: Don’t overthink this.

Rather than go through others, you should send this friend a “friend request” on Facebook. If she accepts it, you should be able to see from her profile and postings what her status is. Facebook is the perfect venue for following up on a reunion interlude.

Dear Amy: We hosted a wonderful anniversary party recently for ourselves (our 50th!). The invitation read “No Gifts,” but, as sometimes happens, the directive was overlooked. Along with lovely cards,

we also received a boatload of zucchini, along with the explanation: “We thought you’d love to have something from our garden!”

First of all, it was awkward greeting old friends with a hug and a greeting, and then lumbering off with an armful of zucchini and a smile.

Plus, our two refrigerators were stuffed to the gills for the pre- and postparty festivities. After the party, though we looked forward to spending more time with out-of-town guests, we were busy cramming all the zucchini into our refrigerators, along with dinner leftovers.

So, I’d like to notify people that as party plans unfold, they should make a mental note to leave their zucchini at home. Unburden your bounty with the neighbors. Or donate to a nearby food pantry.

Whatever you do, don’t show up with your zucchini. We’re thrilled to see you.

We just don’t need your squash.

— Awash in Squash Dear Awash: At my hometown church

during this time of year, the collection plate isn’t the only thing being passed around, as people offload the excess bounty from their gardens to fellow worshippers: tomatoes, corn, and the omnipresent zucchini!

I agree that zucchini is a strange gift to present as an anniversary present, but at this time of year for vegetable gardeners, the rule is to either give squash or be squashed. Your local food pantry might have been happy to welcome this fresh produce.

Dear Amy: I’m responding to people who don’t like tattoos. They often express their contempt by pointing out how bad tattoos will look on old, wrinkled skin. Trust me, we who love tattoos know this and don’t care.

I loved your comment about your uncle’s aging tattoos: “I loved him, so I loved his tattoos too.”

— Fan Dear Fan: Tattoos don’t tax my own capacity for affection in the slightest.

In awe of Waclaw

BOYS SOCCER PREVIEW

Standout senior looks to keep Oswego East on the rise

NUCCIO DINUZZO/ CHICAGO TRIBUNE

By C.R. Walker

Ian Happ embraces Javier Baez after the final out in the Cubs’ 4-3 win against the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday.

The Beacon-News

It was only a few years ago that Michael Waclaw walked through the doors at Oswego East for the first time and felt the fear and trepidation so many freshmen encounter.

Now opponents will feel that way when they take the field against Waclaw, a senior midfielder who has become one of the area’s best players.

Last season, Waclaw was named conference MVP, all-sectional and The Beacon-News Boys Soccer Player of the Year. He had 14 goals and eight assists for the Wolves, who went 147-2 after winning just six games the year before and took the conference title.

“We really have a target on our back this time,” Waclaw said. “Last year we weren’t expected to do that, but this year we feel we’re even better. Hopefully we can win conference again and keep up with the higher expectations, especially after how we finished last year.”

Oswego East was impressive in creating and finishing scoring opportunities in 2016.

It helps that Waclaw, who has 30 goals and 20 assists in his career, plays alongside senior Manuel Magana and junior Ford Frazer. It gives the Wolves three dynamic scorers.

“Michael is a really good player, so teams are going to try to do whatever they can to stop him,” Magana said.

“He gives me good passes every time and opportunities to score, so I try to do the same thing for him. We all help each other out.”

Frazer, who had 15 goals and six assists last season, said the trio feed off each other.

“They’ve really helped my game, and I think I’ve helped theirs,” he said. “If I pass to them, they score. If they pass to me, I score.

“At the beginning of last year it was tough and we struggled, but after we continued to play with each other, our communication kept getting better, and we started to produce. Now that we’ve had a full year to play together, we’re going to be able to score right off the bat.”

The Wolves started 0-3 last season and surrendered 16 goals before rebounding.

They expect a much better

To the rescue Happ’s monster homer, his 18th, powers victory

MIKE MANTUCCA/BEACON-NEWS

Oswego East’s Michael Waclaw, center, who has 30 career goals, returns to build on the team’s surprising 2016 success.

start this time.

“You become wiser when you get more experience, and I see things a lot differently than I did a few years ago,” Waclaw said.

“I’ve become more confident, and we’re playing a lot simpler and smarter than ever before. We’re trying to not overdo it and to give our teammates opportunities.”

Wolves took a little while to click last year, and once they got going, they were tough to stop. They hope to be that kind of team from start to finish this year, and Waclaw thinks they’re ready.

“The thing is we all have good soccer IQs, and we understand what we need to do and are making good decisions when we’re attacking,” he said. “And we trust our defense and midfielders to support us all the time, and we’re confident.

“It’s not just about me and the guys attacking, but it’s the whole team. We like where we’re at.”

C.R. Walker is a freelancer.

TOP 5 TEAMS 1. Oswego East: The excitement is high with the Wolves, and there’s good reason after a surprising 14-7-2 season and a conference championship. East returns most key players, including an offense led by Michael Waclaw, Manuel Magana and Ford Frazer, who combined for 39 goals and 31 assists in 2016.

2. Yorkville: Steve Ramirez and Jackson Torok are a returning pair of all-conference players who combined for 13 goals and six assists last year. Jeremy Schwarz, Peyton Frankenreider and goalkeeper Ben Schafermeyer also are back as the Foxes believe they can match the success of last year’s 15-2-2 finish.

3. Waubonsie Valley: The Warriors (12-8-1) lost seven players to graduation. Key returnees include Giacomo Parrino, an all-conference pick, as well as fellow seniors Mitch Mueller, Rogelio Grimaldo and Stephen Spano. Coach Jose Garcia expects the skilled Warriors to find the back of the net.

4. Geneva: Jason Bhatta takes over for longtime coach Ryan Estabrook, who had been at the helm since 2004. Bhatta inherits a team that features a strong and experienced senior class. Jack Cottrell returns to lead the midfield, Eric Anderson (10 goals) is back to pace the offense and Jay Bode (4 shutouts) returns in goal.

5. West Aurora: The Blackhawks (9-7-5) were competitive from start to finish last year, which included a tough playoff loss to Naperville North. Midfielders Emanuel Acosta and Renato Cruz are back to lead the way, and newcomers Patient Yuha and Andy Emile will join senior forward Pablo Gaytan to ignite the offense.

TOP 15 PLAYERS

Emanuel Acosta, West Aurora, senior, midfielder; Eric Anderson, Geneva, senior, forward; Jesse Corneliusen, Oswego, senior, defender; Jack Cottrell, Geneva, senior, midfielder; Diego Escobedo, East Aurora, senior, defender; Sal Garcia, Batavia, senior, midfielder; Rogelio Grimaldo, Waubonsie Valley, senior, forward; Alban Hoti, Plano, senior, midfielder; Manuel Magana, Oswego East, senior, forward; John McCaffrey, Kaneland, senior, midfielder; Giacomo Parrino, Waubonse Valley, senior, midfielder; Steve Ramirez, Yorkville, senior, midfielder; Jackson Torok, Yorkville, senior, forward; Michael Waclaw, Oswego East, senior, midfielder; Ethan Ytterberg, Metea Valley, senior, defender.

There are no explosives to celebrate home runs hit by Cubs at Wrigley Field.

So Ian Happ settled for a flyover from the Blue Angels against the Blue Jays on Saturday after he hit a 417foot, tying home run in the fourth inning of a 4-3 victory.

Like the Blue Angels, who were performing awe-inducing acts for this weekend’s Chicago Air and Water Show, Happ had impeccable timing in front of 41,558.

“I noticed them a lot during the day, when they rattled the stadium most, but not right then,” Happ said.

The rookie, who struck out four times Friday, received a more traditional shower of cheers in the first inning, when he drove in the Cubs’ first run with a single to right field.

The second baseman heard more of the same in the sixth, when he led off with a walk and scored on Javier Baez’s two-strike, two-out, seeing-eye single to center field for a 3-2 lead.

Happ credited batting left-handed Saturday for his success and ability to file Friday in the past.

“The game ebbs and flows all the time,” he said.

“That’s why it’s a beautiful game and a terrible game at the same time. Being able to stay even is important.”

Four of Happ’s last five hits are home runs. His last, his 18th, tied him with Kyle Schwarber for most by a Cub in his first 80 games.

Meanwhile, on the mound, Cubs starter Jose Quintana elicited more adulation by staying even, keeping the Blue Jays uneven in Turn to Cubs, Page 24

CUBS

A return to dominance As free agency calls, Arrieta again pitching like an ace

Paul Sullivan Jake Arrieta may be in his final weeks with the Cubs, but he’s not going quietly into the night.

He came to the Cubs in the second year of the rebuild, carried them into the playoffs in 2015 with a history-making performance and capped it off with a pair of World Series wins last fall in their championship season.

After a slow start to 2017,

the old Arrieta seemingly is back, retaking the role of staff ace even before Jon Lester’s shoulder fatigue landed him on the disabled list Friday.

Cubs fans should appreciate what they’re watching, knowing Arrieta could be gone by December.

“We’re just trying to win this division, that’s what we’re focused on,” Cubs President Theo Epstein said Friday when asked about Arrieta’s future. “Offseason stuff, we’ll deal with it when the time comes. Nothing has been determined, and that story is not written yet.”

Perhaps not, but you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone in Chicago who believes Arrieta will be back. The Cubs have one $155 million starter in Lester. Would they re-sign Arrieta for something in the $175 mil-

lion to $200 million range and have more than $300 million invested in two starters?

Arrieta says he wants to return, but he’s not going to let the uncertainty affect him as the Cubs battle for a division title and a repeat.

“Other issues do come up, and I have no problem addressing those,” he said of free agency. “But then (I’m) getting back to the basics of trying to prepare and help my team win.”

That has been his philosophy since coming to the Cubs from the Orioles along with Pedro Strop in the Scott Feldman deal on July 2, 2013. That trade led to the memorable quote from Jeff Samardzija: “I don’t think this team improves by trading Scott Feldman.”

Samardzija was wrong, but he was thinking in the

present, not the future. The Cubs felt the control-challenged Arrieta could be fixed by working with pitching coach Chris Bosio and would eventually become more consistent. No one thought he would develop into one of the game’s top starters.

When he arrived from the Orioles, the Cubs immediately sent Arrieta to Triple-A Iowa under the guise of allowing him to work on some things. In reality they were making sure he didn’t have enough service time to become a free agent after 2016.

It was a smart business decision by Epstein, just as Arrieta made a smart business decision by playing out his contract and entering free agency.

“When he got here, guys weren’t upset,” said Blue

BRIAN CASSELLA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Cubs starter Jake Arrieta has enjoyed a resurgent second half of the season, just in time to potentially land a huge contract in the offseason.

Jays second baseman Darwin Barney, who was with the Cubs at the time. “We knew he was an openingday starter for Baltimore. At the time, the players were always upset that we were rebuilding, rebuilding, rebuilding when it’s been ingrained in your head ‘Let’s win, win, win.’

“He’d be a good fit anywhere. I’m sure (fans are) hoping he can stick around here.”

So are his teammates, including Kyle Hendricks, who followed Arrieta around like a puppy when he came to the majors.

Hendricks said he couldn’t put into words “everything I’ve learned” from Arrieta over the past four years.

“Jake was really the guy when I first got called up who took me under his wing,” Hendricks he said.

“When I got out of that first inning really quick — I hit my spots better than last time — I felt pretty good, and (I knew) I would have a better game,” Quintana said.

The left-hander ended the first five of his six innings with a strikeout and finished with eight in his seventh start since he was acquired from the White Sox in July.

Penn State coach James Franklin directs his team during NCAA college football practice Wednesday, in State College, Pa.

Nittany Lions to contend for another conference title and a possible College Football Playoff berth.

“The last three years, we’ve been making really strong progress,” Franklin said. “Everybody realizes we walked into a challenging situation, had a lot of work to do, and we just kept working.

“I make the argument that our best years coaching were probably Years 1 and 2. Everybody is focused on this past season, but the groundwork and the foundation that we laid in Year 1 and 2 is what allowed us to have the success we had (last) year.”

Running back Saquon Barkley and quarterback Trace McSorley enter the season as potential Heisman Trophy candidates.

They’re among nine returning offensive starters.

Big Ten football fans are eyeing the Oct. 28 meeting with Ohio State in Columbus after the Nittany Lions stunned the Buckeyes last season, sparking their sur-

prising run to the conference title.

But at media days, Franklin repeated, “Akron,” whenever asked about the schedule, referring to the Sept. 2 seasonopening opponent.

“Outside looking in, fans may say we’re back or back to where we want to be,” Allen said. “But inside, in-house, we know we have something further we have not reached yet. We have a lot we believe we can do.

“When people weren’t believing in us, we had that same high expectation.

I’ve still got that chip on my shoulder. Not too long ago, we weren’t able to fight for a bowl game. We weren’t able to have a real season like other teams had.

“You’ve got to carry that hunger with you to exceed your expectations or go further in life. I don’t think we’re done.” sryan@chicagotribune.com Twitter @sryantribune

Blue Jays catcher Miguel Montero, Arrieta’s former battery mate, said he saw “a lot of movement again, and he was throwing a lot of strikes, which is great. He looked pretty sharp.”

Epstein said the movement on his sinker is the key to the return of the old Jake.

“Our starting rotation has been performing pretty well the last couple of weeks, and it’s not only the results with Jake but how he’s doing it,” Epstein said.

“His fastball is moving all over the place, and his slider has been better ... than it has been all year.

“That’s huge for him. It allows him ... to be himself and assert himself and pitch the way he wants to.

It’s been fun to watch lately.”

Arrieta might never get back to his Cy Youngwinning form of 2015, which featured one of the most dominant secondhalf stretches in history.

But he continues to refuse to believe he can’t ever top that year, repeatedly ask-

ing, “Why not?”

Arrieta never has lacked for confidence, even in tough times.

“I’ve learned a lot on how strong mentally he is and how to take that out on the mound,” Hendricks said. “He’s never going to let anyone tell him what he can’t do, and he really does believe he’s that (2015) pitcher all the time.”

Now Arrieta is in the stretch run of his walk year and pitching as well as he has since the start of the 2016 season. Maybe he smells the money. Or maybe he’s just being Jake.

“I don’t think it has anything to do with it being a free-agent year,” Epstein said. “He was pretty focused on 2015, going out and dominating; pretty focused last year, winning a World Series; and he’s focused again this year.

“That’s just who he is as a competitor.”

That’s Jake. Enjoy him while you can.

Quintana has allowed six or fewer hits in each of his past 14 starts, the longest active streak in the majors and the second-longest this season overall.

“I saw him pitch with his fastball well and accurately,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “They got their runs by a couple dumpers. ... That was a pretty nice day’s work.”

The only blemishes occurred during the fourth inning, when the Jays strung together three

straight hits, capped by Raffy Lopez’s two-run single.

After Anthony Rizzo’s RBI single in the seventh gave the Cubs a 4-2 lead, the Blue Jays answered in the eighth with an unearned run.

Wade Davis secured his place in Cubs history next to Ryan Dempster by converting his franchiserecord 26th consecutive save,.

Arrieta pitching like an ace “Sitting on the bench, talking about hitters, talking about teams, gameplanning, how to survive at this level, and more importantly see his work ethic, his work between starts — his sides sessions, his cardio.”

Arrieta’s 13 wins were tied for fifth in the National League entering Saturday, and he’s 5-1 with a 2.00 ERA since the All-Star break after Friday’s win over the Blue Jays. It was important not only to get the win but to show that the Cubs can survive without Lester in the rotation — however long that might be.

“Honestly, pitching to contact early in the game and having certain things I can use for put-away pitches later on is really the way you pitch successfully,” Arrieta said. “The game plan is always to utilize strength and expose a weakness here and there with the opposing offense and try to pitch into the seventh inning.”

Determination to win spurs Penn State

When safety Marcus Allen committed to Penn State five years ago, his friends had questions for him.

“People questioned me all the time,” Allen said last month at Big Ten media days in Chicago. “ ‘Why are you going to Penn State?’

Or saying disgusting things about Penn State.

“I looked past that and further to what Penn State truly is.”

At the time, the Nittany Lions had received NCAA sanctions that were expected to deliver a hard hit to the program. The penalties were punishment for the crimes committed by longtime assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, who is serving a 60-year sentence for sexual abuse of children, and those who overlooked the abuse.

The NCAA later eased up on the penalties, reducing the original four-year bowl ban to two years and incrementally restoring scholarships to the full 85-player limit a year earlier than scheduled.

The sanctions initially were expected to have a long-lasting impact. Any rebuild figured to be lengthy.

But after consecutive 7-6 seasons under coach James Franklin, hired after the scandal in 2014, Penn State went 11-3 last season and won the Big Ten championship. Expectations are high again for the

n 1932, Danish carpenter Ole Kirk Kristiansen started a company that produced toy ducks and other wooden playthings. In 1949, the company released a toy called "Automatic Binding Bricks." In 1953, the little construction bricks were renamed "LEGO bricks." Since that time, more than 500 billion bricks have been produced and sold in more than 140 countries around the world.

LEGO bricks and other parts, such as wheels, levers, windows and mini figures, are referred to as "elements." LEGO makes more than 3,500 different elements in more than 60 different colors.

LEGO produces more than 300 million wheels per year. That's more than any tire manufacturer in the world.

Some of the largest objects created with LEGOs include an X-wing fighter containing more than 5 million bricks, a 34-m. (112 ft.) tower and a 4-km. (2.4 mi.) railway.

The wide-body Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat sits with other Hellcat and SRT high-performance cars at the GingerMan Raceway in South Haven, Mich., for track safety school.

Learning to tame a beast Annual track safety school makes driving a muscle car more fun

Story and photos

by Robert Duffer Chicago Tribune

The summer sun baked the morning moisture off the GingerMan Raceway in South Haven, Mich. Hellcats lined up for roll call in a rainbow of eye-popping color: Yellow Jacket, Octane Red, Go Mango. Sitting behind the wheel of a 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat will jolt awake that primal relationship between man and machine.

The folks at Dodge know how to have fun, and we couldn’t wait to join them.

But first, safety school.

“Everything you learn here can be taken to the street and make driving more fun and meaningful,” said Phil Mirenda, owner and founder of CGI Motorsports in Homer Glen, Ill. About two-dozen lucky drivers, and a half-dozen not-so-lucky CGI instructors, attended the third annual track safety school produced by the Midwest Automotive Media Association and sponsored by Dodge, which provided a dozen high-horsepower offerings from the Dodge SRT portfolio, including

the new Durango SRT. We were there to learn, practice and advocate for safe driving on the track and the street.

We were there, to edit a catchphrase from the Cubs, to try not to stink.

“You’ve got to know your car before you start to push it,” said Pete Jacobsen, vehicle development manager for the Dodge Durango SRT. The supercharged Hemi V-8 adrenaline-spiker that has melted rubber as well as faces in the wide-body Challenger might not be the easiest beast to tame on the track. It’s wide, it’s heavy, it doesn’t hug the ground like traditional sports coupes — this muscle car seemingly has more brawn than brains. Until you get properly schooled.

Weight transfer is crucial in the 4,448-pound Hellcat. With some tips from other instructors, Mirenda holds a half-filled water bottle horizontally.

Accelerating lifts the front end and shifts the weight to the rear, he said in his avuncular, Everyman way.

Hit the apex, or most consistent line, to center the vehicle weight and better accelerate out of. Braking

Go Mango is among the eye-popping colors for the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.

shifts weight to the front, he continued, which makes steering harder. Coming in too fast to a turn will cause understeer, the car will miss the apex and you won’t be where you want to be.

“Until you learn the line, you’ll be dog crap out there,” Mirenda says.

The first of three 20minute driving sessions were done without helmets, our assigned pro going first to show us how to be less fecal.

Opened in 1996 and about 130 miles from Chicago, GingerMan was designed with safety in mind.

The 2.14-mile track “simulates a country road but in a controlled environment,” according to the site. Two of three straightaways

curve into near-90-degree turns; better drivers can push 140 mph on the longer straight. A long, winding S-curve can be taken with increasing speed, until the tricky carousel out of the 10th and penultimate turn.

But that was for the second session.

Just as there are differences in muscle cars, there are differences in drivers.

Millennials redefining collecting classic cars

By Mark Phelan

Detroit Free Press

Millennials are getting into car collecting, and they’re changing the hobby and the idea of what vehicles are worth owning and preserving.

This year, for the first time, millennials are responsible for more collectible car activity than the pre-baby boom generation, according to Hagerty Insurance, the largest insurer of collectible cars and wooden boats. Roughly speaking,

millennials are the generation born between 1977 and 1995.

Contrary to popular belief, millennials drive and enjoy cars, Hagerty CEO McKee Hagerty says, but the vehicles that fire their imagination are more likely to be pickups, SUVs and performance cars from late 1960s to early ’90s than the 1950s sedans, hot rods and early muscle cars prized by previous generations.

Get ready to see more Cutlass Supremes, Land Rover Defenders, Mazda

RX-7s, Ford F-series pickups, Datsun 260Zs, Chevy Monte Carlos, BMW M3s and VW Corrados at classic car gatherings.

It’s a progression that happens as every generation reaches the point where its members have the time and money to collect and restore cars. A classic car is generally considered one that’s at least 25 years old, so a new set arrives every year, along with a generation who grew up admiring them.

The wide-body Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat sits with other Hellcat and SRT high-performance cars at the GingerMan Raceway in South Haven, Mich., for track safety school.

Learning to tame a beast Annual track safety school makes driving a muscle car more fun

Story and photos

by Robert Duffer Chicago Tribune

The summer sun baked the morning moisture off the GingerMan Raceway in South Haven, Mich. Hellcats lined up for roll call in a rainbow of eye-popping color: Yellow Jacket, Octane Red, Go Mango. Sitting behind the wheel of a 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat will jolt awake that primal relationship between man and machine.

The folks at Dodge know how to have fun, and we couldn’t wait to join them.

But first, safety school.

“Everything you learn here can be taken to the street and make driving more fun and meaningful,” said Phil Mirenda, owner and founder of CGI Motorsports in Homer Glen, Ill. About two-dozen lucky drivers, and a half-dozen not-so-lucky CGI instructors, attended the third annual track safety school produced by the Midwest Automotive Media Association and sponsored by Dodge, which provided a dozen high-horsepower offerings from the Dodge SRT portfolio, including

the new Durango SRT. We were there to learn, practice and advocate for safe driving on the track and the street.

We were there, to edit a catchphrase from the Cubs, to try not to stink.

“You’ve got to know your car before you start to push it,” said Pete Jacobsen, vehicle development manager for the Dodge Durango SRT. The supercharged Hemi V-8 adrenaline-spiker that has melted rubber as well as faces in the wide-body Challenger might not be the easiest beast to tame on the track. It’s wide, it’s heavy, it doesn’t hug the ground like traditional sports coupes — this muscle car seemingly has more brawn than brains. Until you get properly schooled.

Weight transfer is crucial in the 4,448-pound Hellcat. With some tips from other instructors, Mirenda holds a half-filled water bottle horizontally.

Accelerating lifts the front end and shifts the weight to the rear, he said in his avuncular, Everyman way.

Hit the apex, or most consistent line, to center the vehicle weight and better accelerate out of. Braking

Go Mango is among the eye-popping colors for the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.

shifts weight to the front, he continued, which makes steering harder. Coming in too fast to a turn will cause understeer, the car will miss the apex and you won’t be where you want to be.

“Until you learn the line, you’ll be dog crap out there,” Mirenda says.

The first of three 20minute driving sessions were done without helmets, our assigned pro going first to show us how to be less fecal.

Opened in 1996 and about 130 miles from Chicago, GingerMan was designed with safety in mind.

The 2.14-mile track “simulates a country road but in a controlled environment,” according to the site. Two of three straightaways

curve into near-90-degree turns; better drivers can push 140 mph on the longer straight. A long, winding S-curve can be taken with increasing speed, until the tricky carousel out of the 10th and penultimate turn.

But that was for the second session.

Just as there are differences in muscle cars, there are differences in drivers.

Pro drivers hit everything harder yet operate the car more fluidly, as if driver and car are one.

The vast majority of drivers are not pros, despite delusions to the contrary.

There are incidents on the track at media events that shouldn’t be happening, just as there are countless videos of owners spinning out of cars-and-coffee

events or out of dealer lots.

“The biggest challenge is understanding vehicle dynamics, knowing before I get into a situation what the car feels like, what it will do in certain situations,” said instructor Bryan Hunter, a financial consultant who’s been racing since 2005.

ROBERT DUFFER/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The 2017 Buick LaCrosse, loaded with tech and comfort, is ideal for highway cruising.

Buick LaCrosse elicits sighs

By Robert Duffer

Chicago Tribune

Lacrosse the sport is growing in popularity across the country.

LaCrosse the car is not.

With sales of GM’s full-size sedans down nearly 20 percent in the first half of this year, rumors are swirling about the end of the Chevrolet Impala, Cadillac XTS and CT6, and the Buick LaCrosse. Consumers aren’t buying sedans, and that’s too bad because the redesigned 2017 Buick LaCrosse is a good car at the wrong time.

The LaCrosse soaked up the highway and provided a quiet, comfy cabin, and adaptive cruise control made highway slowing and going a breeze.

For shoppers tired of the 2-liter turbo fours, Buick sticks with the V-6 engine in the LaCrosse. For speed, shoppers should look elsewhere. GM’s LGX engine, a 3.6-liter directinjection 6-pack with variable valve timing making 310 horsepower, feels underwhelming in the LaCrosse, a surprise given its 300-pound diet from last year. There’s just not much get-up from a stop, but there is ample power for highway passing.

Active cylinder deactiva-

2017 BUICK LACROSSE PREMIUM Full-size sedan As tested:

$49,345 Base price: $43,265

tion shuts down two cylinders while cruising, all of which significantly boosts fuel economy by 3 mpg to 23 mpg combined.

Handling and steering are soft, but so is the ride.

The full-size sedan provides a nice buffer between traffic without feeling too big. It’s 1.7 inches shorter than its predecessor, but the wheelbase is stretched 2.7 inches to make it appear sportier, lower, longer. Trunk space has grown by nearly 1 cubic foot to 15 cubic feet total, which is smaller than the competition but seemed like plenty. It is an ideal fleet vehicle. I don’t see this as a negative.

The price tag was, how-

ever. A few friends balked at $50,000 for the premium all-wheel-drive model, arguing for something snazzier and smaller.

But there are a lot of GM options standard, and advanced technology such as adaptive cruise (part of the driver-confidence package for $1,690) and navigation (part of the sights-and-sounds package for $1,145) are worth the price. The $1,550 sunroof and 20-inch wheels (part of the dynamic-drive package for $1,300) didn’t add much for me.

One of my favorite features is the selectable display in the instrument cluster between the tachometer and speedometer. Using the steeringwheel controls, drivers can change radio stations and sources, get navigation commands, reset trip odometers, or check active fuel economy and other data bits available in the touch screen. GM’s overall infotainment system is one of the best on the market and simpler than most of the luxury brands’ systems.

The fit and finish are fine, and while it’s not a luxury car, it is the more unassuming premium class nudging toward Lexus, Acura, Infiniti and even now Mazda. It isn’t going to draw gasps, but it will provide many contented sighs while cruising. rduffer@chicagotribune.com Twitter @DufferRobert

Q: While we were coming back from vacation, the splash shield on our 2013 Mazda3 came loose.

We pulled over and had it taken off by a local auto shop. I asked them at the time if it was OK to drive without it on, and they indicated that as long as I was on a road it was OK. When we got home, I took it over to my local mechanic that I have used for years for all my auto repair needs. He took a look and said that I really didn’t need to replace it because a majority of the cars on the road now don’t have one.

Should I get it replaced?

— S.Y., Minneapolis A: If this were a simple trim piece, we would let it go, but the splash shield on the front underside of the car has several purposes, including protecting the engine from bumps and road debris, so we would replace it. If you are handy, and can safely get under the car, you can install a replacement for under $40.

To have a pro do it, expect

Q: I own a 2009 Pontiac G6 with the 3.9-liter engine. It now has 94,000 miles on it, nearly all highway miles. I had no intention of keeping this car so long as I used conventional motor oil. I would like to know your thoughts on switching over to synthetic at this time. I am thinking that I would like to keep the car another 100,000 miles.

What do you think?

— M.M. Aurora, Ill. A: Synthetic motor oil is superior to conventional dinosaur juice. And, it is never too late to make the switch. You may want to consider a synthetic blend that contains both types, as well as an oil designed for use in higher-mileage engines. We believe any car can go over 200,000 miles if maintained properly.

Q: I bought a 2016 Lincoln MKC in November 2015. Recently hot air was blowing on the driver’s side when the A/C was on. When I called the dealer to get it fixed under the warranty, I was told I had to wait two weeks. The Lincoln brochure says, “Should your Lincoln require warranty service, you

It’s just one more way to let you know that we’ll be there for you.” I inquired about the courtesy car but was turned down by the dealer and the Lincoln people stating that the car had to be in the shop to get the courtesy car. So I would have to drive my car without A/C until then. I got the car fixed by someone else. Are there luxury carmakers that would have provided the courtesy car until they could fix the problem?

— P.M., Chicago A: If car dealers had to supply courtesy vehicles while waiting for an opening in the service schedule or for parts to arrive, they would go broke supplying loaners. That is why many dealers co-op with rental agencies such as Enterprise. Think about how many cars the dealers would have to loan out just for airbag recalls. While the car is in the shop, many dealers will provide a courtesy car for a few days.

Replacing the splash shield on cars like this Mazda3 is recommended and relatively easy.

Is replacing a splash shield optional? It does serve a role to pay more for the part plus labor, which should be about one hour.

ROBERT DUFFER/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The 2017 Buick LaCrosse, loaded with tech and comfort, is ideal for highway cruising.

Buick LaCrosse elicits sighs

By Robert Duffer

Chicago Tribune

Lacrosse the sport is growing in popularity across the country.

LaCrosse the car is not.

With sales of GM’s full-size sedans down nearly 20 percent in the first half of this year, rumors are swirling about the end of the Chevrolet Impala, Cadillac XTS and CT6, and the Buick LaCrosse. Consumers aren’t buying sedans, and that’s too bad because the redesigned 2017 Buick LaCrosse is a good car at the wrong time.

The LaCrosse soaked up the highway and provided a quiet, comfy cabin, and adaptive cruise control made highway slowing and going a breeze.

For shoppers tired of the 2-liter turbo fours, Buick sticks with the V-6 engine in the LaCrosse. For speed, shoppers should look elsewhere. GM’s LGX engine, a 3.6-liter directinjection 6-pack with variable valve timing making 310 horsepower, feels underwhelming in the LaCrosse, a surprise given its 300-pound diet from last year. There’s just not much get-up from a stop, but there is ample power for highway passing.

Active cylinder deactiva-

2017 BUICK LACROSSE PREMIUM Full-size sedan As tested:

$49,345 Base price: $43,265

Mpg: 20 city, 29 highway Engine: 310 horsepower 3.6-liter V6 Transmission: 8-speed automatic to all wheels Parting shot: Good for cruising, bad for selling

tion shuts down two cylinders while cruising, all of which significantly boosts fuel economy by 3 mpg to 23 mpg combined.

Handling and steering are soft, but so is the ride.

The full-size sedan provides a nice buffer between traffic without feeling too big. It’s 1.7 inches shorter than its predecessor, but the wheelbase is stretched 2.7 inches to make it appear sportier, lower, longer. Trunk space has grown by nearly 1 cubic foot to 15 cubic feet total, which is smaller than the competition but seemed like plenty. It is an ideal fleet vehicle. I don’t see this as a negative.

The price tag was, how-

ever. A few friends balked at $50,000 for the premium all-wheel-drive model, arguing for something snazzier and smaller.

But there are a lot of GM options standard, and advanced technology such as adaptive cruise (part of the driver-confidence package for $1,690) and navigation (part of the sights-and-sounds package for $1,145) are worth the price. The $1,550 sunroof and 20-inch wheels (part of the dynamic-drive package for $1,300) didn’t add much for me.

One of my favorite features is the selectable display in the instrument cluster between the tachometer and speedometer. Using the steeringwheel controls, drivers can change radio stations and sources, get navigation commands, reset trip odometers, or check active fuel economy and other data bits available in the touch screen. GM’s overall infotainment system is one of the best on the market and simpler than most of the luxury brands’ systems.

The fit and finish are fine, and while it’s not a luxury car, it is the more unassuming premium class nudging toward Lexus, Acura, Infiniti and even now Mazda. It isn’t going to draw gasps, but it will provide many contented sighs while cruising. rduffer@chicagotribune.com Twitter @DufferRobert

Q: While we were coming back from vacation, the splash shield on our 2013 Mazda3 came loose.

We pulled over and had it taken off by a local auto shop. I asked them at the time if it was OK to drive without it on, and they indicated that as long as I was on a road it was OK. When we got home, I took it over to my local mechanic that I have used for years for all my auto repair needs. He took a look and said that I really didn’t need to replace it because a majority of the cars on the road now don’t have one.

Should I get it replaced?

— S.Y., Minneapolis A: If this were a simple trim piece, we would let it go, but the splash shield on the front underside of the car has several purposes, including protecting the engine from bumps and road debris, so we would replace it. If you are handy, and can safely get under the car, you can install a replacement for under $40.

To have a pro do it, expect

Q: I own a 2009 Pontiac G6 with the 3.9-liter engine. It now has 94,000 miles on it, nearly all highway miles. I had no intention of keeping this car so long as I used conventional motor oil. I would like to know your thoughts on switching over to synthetic at this time. I am thinking that I would like to keep the car another 100,000 miles.

What do you think?

— M.M. Aurora, Ill. A: Synthetic motor oil is superior to conventional dinosaur juice. And, it is never too late to make the switch. You may want to consider a synthetic blend that contains both types, as well as an oil designed for use in higher-mileage engines. We believe any car can go over 200,000 miles if maintained properly.

Q: I bought a 2016 Lincoln MKC in November 2015. Recently hot air was blowing on the driver’s side when the A/C was on. When I called the dealer to get it fixed under the warranty, I was told I had to wait two weeks. The Lincoln brochure says, “Should your Lincoln require warranty service, you
