Enrollment in the Health Insurance Marketplace, or the Exchange, will open Oct. 1 as a centralized location for small businesses and individuals and families to shop for health insurance. In Illinois, there will be four “metal” levels of coverage – platinum, gold, silver and bronze – with dozens of insurance options offered at every level.

GENOA – After a jury acquitted him this week of domestic battery and assaulting a police officer, a 41-year-old Genoa man is pursuing an excessive force lawsuit against Genoa police.

Charles Cravatta, of the 100 block of North State Road, alleges Genoa police officer E d L o p e z i n - Charles a p p r o p r i a t e l y Cravatta punched him twice in the face and kneed him in the thigh about 12:30 a.m.

July 23, 2011.

Weeks later, Cravatta was flown to a Chica- Ed Lopez go hospital with a blood clot in his head that he says is related to the punches Lopez delivered, Cravatta’s attorney Nicholas Cronauer said.

Cravatta’s lawsuit also faults Genoa officials for hiring Lopez after he was suspended for 30 days from the Hanover Park Police Department for a similar incident involving a 17-year-old. Alison Harrington, a Naperville attorney representing Lopez and

hopping for health insurance soon will be as convenient as choosing between Frosted Flakes and Cheerios at a grocery store.

But expect to have to sift through much more information than sugar and calorie content to figure out which one is best for you.

In the largest step toward fully implementing the Affordable Care Act, Illinois will open its Health Insurance Marketplace, often referred to as the Exchange, on Oct. 1.

The Exchange is a website that will serve as a central location for residents and small businesses to compare and choose from dozens of insurance plans. Six providers – including well-known companies such as Blue Cross Blue Shield – have proposed 165 plans that are awaiting approval.

Each plan will be categorized in one of four “metal” levels – bronze, silver, gold and platinum – with bronze the lowest and platinum the highest in terms of coverage, breadth, depth and services.

Mike Claffey, spokesman for the health care division in Gov. Pat Quinn’s office, said specific prices for plans would be made public in September after the federal government reviews and approves the plans state officials recommend at the end of July.

“The team has been working extremely hard to get everything in place for an Oct. 1 launch,” Claffey said. “There are a lot of departments working together to help put the pieces in place.”

State officials have said they initially expect 500,000 residents to seek insurance when the Exchange opens Oct. 1 and expect it to

DeKalb County and the insurance marketplace The Affordable Care Act, enacted in March 2010, guarantees insurance for all Americans. A Health Insurance Marketplace will open Oct. 1 that will offer dozens of insurance plans to citizens and small businesses. People who apply may qualify for lower costs on premiums or out-of-pocket costs; savings are based on household income and size. Some people will qualify for tax credits or subsidies to help pay for their insurance, and others will be newly eligible to enroll in Medicaid.

In DeKalb County, there are 98,613 people younger than 65. Of those people, the following will be eligible for Medicaid or a subsidy once the Insurance Exchange opens: • 6,288 uninsured people ages 0-64 who will be Medicaid eligible • 5,208 uninsured people ages 0-64 who will be eligible for the exchange subsidy

Affordable Affordable Care Act

This is the first in an occasional series from the Daily Chronicle that will examine the multiple changes to health care in America in 2014 because of the federal Affordable Care Act.

Detroit tries way of Big 3 The ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT – Four years ago, America’s Big Three automakers mortgaged all they owned or went into bankruptcy court to keep from going broke.

Since then, General Motors, Chrysler and Ford have all returned to full financial health, unlike Detroit itself, which filed for bankruptcy Thursday after years of painful decline.

So why can’t the Motor City use bankruptcy to transform itself in the same way?

Unfortunately for Detroit, it’s not that simple. Automakers were able to shed most of their problems in bankruptcy court and come out leaner and more competitive. The city can get rid of its gargantuan debt, but a bankruptcy judge can’t bring

Unexpected help a pleasant surprise Justine LaRoche drove her Toyota Camry right through a pothole near the Family Dollar store off Route 23 in DeKalb on Tuesday afternoon when she felt a tire on her car pop, followed by the high-pitched squeal as the air escaped.

The sound struck her as funny. The aftermath did not. The tire had to be changed, then and there, even with the sun high in the sky and the area in the grip of a serious heat wave.

LaRoche, the assistant manager at Amber Manor Apartments in DeKalb, was wearing a white blouse and dress pants – not exactly grease-monkey attire – and she’d never really changed a tire herself before. She called her boss, who offered to send someone from the maintenance staff to help. But in the meantime, she decided to get her hands dirty.

“I got to the point where I had to take off the lugnuts,” she said, “and I was bending over trying to figure out how do I loosen these, and that’s when from behind the back of my car somebody peeked over, and he was just like, ‘Hey, do you need help?’ ” LaRoche told the man that someone was on the way to help her. She said she thought she knew how to do it.

“He said, ‘Do you know what you’re doing?’ And I was like … well … .”

It wasn’t long before the man, who told LaRoche his name was Noah, took over. Despite the sweltering heat that day, he had the tire changed by the time LaRoche’s coworker arrived.

“He was dripping sweat, it was a hot day, and I was just really thankful that he was willing to do that,” LaRoche said. “It’s still nice to see that there are people out there, I don’t know, not chivalrous, but helpful, willing to help someone else.”

LaRoche offered Noah $20 for the effort, but he declined it. Then he went on his way.

LaRoche wanted to share her story about the random act of kindness a stranger committed this week. Usually when we do nice things for strangers and expect nothing in return, their gratitude is left to our imagination.

Some are grateful enough to call the local newspaper to let them know just how much they appreciated it.

LaRoche said she wanted to let people know about “the kind-hearted nature of DeKalb residents.”

EDITOR’S NOTE Eric Olson It was obvious that it still made her happy talking about it a few days later.

LaRoche, a 2005 Crystal Lake Central graduate who recently moved from DeKalb to Lake in the Hills, said “Yay” more than once during our interview.

“Thanks, Noah,” LaRoche said.

In the middle: Beginning Thursday in the Daily Chronicle and online at Daily-Chronicle.com, we’ll be rolling out a three-part series about the aging of the baby boom generation, and the pressures they are facing as they enter their retirement years.

The baby boomers, commonly defined as people born from 1946 to 1964, have been the “pig in the python” in American society. Today they are about 26 percent of the population, and they’ve lived through and brought about a lot of important social changes in America. The series will explore the ways they will continue to do so as older Americans.

No doubt they will, as about 10,000 of them turn 65 each day, according to the Pew Research Center.

Many of the boomers are part of the “sandwich generation” – people who are not only facing the prospect of caring for their elderly parents while still providing support for their mostly grown children.

There’s been a lot of talk about generations, not just the boomers but also the so-called “millennials,” the youngest generation now emerging on the grown-up scene. They’re getting run down the way young people seemingly always are when they first come of age.

The generational talk has made me think about my own, and how people my age don’t fit neatly into any generational category.

I was born in 1977, which I guess puts me within “Generation X,” but only marginally. I’m a child of the ’80s but didn’t live in them as an adult or teen; I’ve experienced the Internet revolution, but I didn’t have an email account until I was in college or a cellphone until I was 24. There was actually a time I didn’t see the need to have one.

I grew up loving newspapers – and still do – but know that the future demands that I embrace the Internet, smartphones, tablets and the many innovations that no doubt are to follow.

All of these neat generational breakdowns people cast our society in sometimes look a little off to a cusp person. Maybe you feel the same if you were born in, say, 1962, or 1943.

It’s not so bad, though, really.

Although we’re often not quite sure where we fit, we also have an easier time relating to people of either generation.

8STATE BRIEFS Lighter sentence sought in Bears fan’s death JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Attorneys for a Jacksonville man accused of fatally stabbing a Chicago Bears fan say he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.

They told Circuit Judge Suzanne Bass on Thursday that the disorder is one of the factors that led 28-year-old Matthew Reid Hinson to kill William “Chris” Pettry, who was visiting from Lake Villa, before a Jaguars-Bears game in 2012. Assistant Public Defender Kate Bedell said Hinson also suffers from alcohol abuse.

The Florida Times-Union reported that prosecutors are skeptical and asked the judge if they could have a doctor examine Hinson.

Hinson pleaded guilty in May to second-degree murder and faces 20 years to life in prison.

He could get a lesser sentence if the judge allows alcohol abuse and PTSD as mitigating factors in Pettry’s stabbing.

DuPage County reports record heroin deaths WHEATON – DuPage County officials say heroin overdose deaths are occurring at a

record pace this year.

Coroner Richard Jorgensen said the county is averaging nearly one heroin overdose death a day this month.

Jorgensen told the Daily Herald that there have been 18 confirmed heroin overdose deaths in DuPage County so far this year. He said 15 more deaths suspected to be heroin-related are awaiting toxicology reports.

Jorgensen said the county is likely to surpass the 38 heroin-related deaths in 2012.

There were 27 in 2011.

Roosevelt University’s Illinois Consortium on Drug Policy director Kathie Kane-Willis said there is no comprehensive approach in getting the word out on the hazards facing heroin users. She noted that the state of Illinois is doing little about the problem.

Winnetka OKs assault weapons restrictions WINNETKA – Add Winnetka to the list of Illinois communities passing an assault weapons ordinance.

On Friday, the village board voted to regulate the transportation and storage of assault weapons, but didn’t ban the weapons.

Local governments have been scrambling to consider ordinances after a provision in a state law made it legal to carry concealed weapons in public.

As part of the concealed carry bill that became law when the General Assembly overrode Gov. Pat Quinn’s veto this month, local governments were given 10 days to enact assault weapons ordinances.

Friday was the deadline.

In recent days, about a dozen communities have passed ordinances either banning assault weapons or imposing regulations concerning how they are stored and transported. Leaders in several other communities have rejected assault weapons ordinances.

New Ill. laws support diabetes research CHICAGO – A pair of new Illinois laws will fund diabetes research and track economic costs of the disease.

Gov. Pat Quinn signed the bills Thursday at a conference organized by the University of Chicago Medicine’s Kovler Diabetes Center.

One measure creates a special license plate. More than half of the $40 cost of the

plate will go to the Diabetes Research Checkoff Fund.

House minority leader Tom Cross sponsored the bill. He hopes the license plate will serve as a “moving billboard” for diabetes awareness.

The second bill requires the Illinois State Diabetes Commission to report regularly on the economic and social costs of diabetes and efforts to prevent the disease.

The laws take effect Jan. 1.

Ill. EPA warns against water with algal blooms SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency is warning against coming in contact with water populated by algal blooms.

EPA Director Lisa Bonnett said blue-green algal blooms are capable of producing toxins that can harm health.

Algal blooms grow well in shallow water getting lots of sunshine. Their strong color can make the water pea-green, blue-green or reddish-brown. Foam or scum often forms on the surface near the bloom.

The toxins can cause rashes, asthma-like symptoms, abdominal pain or liver damage.

D-428 board backs 1 of 2 TIF plans

By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – DeKalb School District 428 has thrown its support behind a new tax increment financing district along Sycamore Road, but not one along South Fourth Street.

Board President Tom Matya said the decision is largely based on each area’s ability to accumulate a surplus. Right now, city officials project surplus revenue will be created during the life span of the Sycamore Road TIF district, but not the South Fourth Street area.

“With the Sycamore Road proposal, there was a solid plan that we felt came forward that shows a high likelihood of payback to the district, with the possibility of the TIF district being closed earlier,”

Matya said.

The school board voted unanimously Tuesday to support the Sycamore Road proposal, and to oppose the South Fourth Street proposal.

The board’s support or opposition is largely symbolic, though. The school district is a member of the Joint Review Board, which consists of the eight local taxing districts that will be affected by the new TIF districts.

Ultimately, the decision rests with the DeKalb City Council, said interim City Manager Rudy Espiritu. The council can establish the districts without the blessing of the Joint Review Board. The board is scheduled to meet Wednesday to issue its recommendation, two days ahead of Friday’s deadline.

Tax increment financing is a special funding mechanism

local governments can use to spur development in blighted areas. It freezes the property taxes that local governments receive from an area, usually for a 23-year period. As development occurs and property value increases, the corresponding increase in property taxes is diverted into a special fund that can be used for improvements.

DeKalb already has two established TIF districts.

The proposed new district on South Fourth Street would encompass property on either side of the street from Taylor Avenue to Fairlane Avenue, while the other would include the former Nelson Veterinarian property at 2131 Sycamore Road, and the Northern Illinois University Art Annex at 2211 Sycamore Road.

School board members were concerned the proposed

districts would affect their property tax revenues. Most Illinois school districts receive the bulk of their money from local sources. For the 2012-13 school year, District 428 received about 69 percent – or $46 million – of its total revenue from local property taxes.

“Clearly, you do have a blighted area, but this might not be a time to ask the school district to give up some revenues,” said Tracy Williams, the school board’s vice president.

Factoring into the school board’s decision to support one TIF district but reject the other is the projected cost of development in each area.

City officials are projecting to break even at the Sycamore Road TIF district, but projects in the South Fourth Street TIF district are expected to cost

DeKalb hosts conference on rare disease

By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Doug Bermel was one of five children in his family to be diagnosed with leukodystrophy. Today, Bermel, 57, is the only one still alive.

Leukodystrophy is a series of disorders that affect a person’s central nervous system by disrupting the growth of the myelin sheath that insulates nerve cells. Bermel described it as being similar to multiple sclerosis, which he was initially diagnosed with when he was 27.

“I said my grandfather had MS and [the doctor] said, ‘Well, that can’t be, that’s not how it works,’ ” Bermel said. “... After I got diagnosed, we put it together and figured it all out.”

Bermel, a resident of Princeton, Minn., was one of the many people who traveled across the country to attend the annual United Leukodystrophy Foundation’s conference in DeKalb. The founda-

“Across the spectrum, there are millions of families in the U.S. affected by rare diseases,” said William Kintner, president of the foundation.

“Ours is one corner. We think it’s an important corner, even

if it’s overlooked.”

Leukodystrophy is a genetic disorder that’s usually inherited. On the same day Robert Rauner was supposed to be celebrating his birthday in 1993, two of his children were diagnosed with a form of leukodystrophy. A third son was not.

he was diagnosed, while Paul Rauner was 17. Yvonne Rauner said her son Kevin stopped progressing mentally.

“He couldn’t learn,” Yvonne Rauner said. “He just got less and less aware of things.”

The symptoms a person experiences depends on which part of the brain is affected.

Kevin, for instance, had seizures and poor vision. He died at 21. At 36, Paul is still alive, but like Bermel, uses a wheelchair.

Bermel said his leukodystrophy has caused him to lose feeling in his legs and feet, making walking impossible.

But Bermel never misses a conference. Not only is he hopeful that the doctors who are there will find an effective treatment, and possibly a cure, but he also described the Rauners and others as being a part of his family.

“I come to the conference just to see everybody,” Bermel said. “I’ve known them now – I see them once a year. It’s like we’ve known each other forever. ... I like being here.”

8LOCAL BRIEF Walk-in registration set for D-428 schools DeKALB – Parents can register students for DeKalb schools in person Wednesday if they have not already done so.

Parents can already log on to the district’s website and register their student.

Staff will be available during the walk-in registration to help parents with the online registration or English translation. Elementary students who were not registered by June 7 are considered “inactive” in the district’s system.

However, the city is expecting to collect only $3.6 million in increment revenues. Espiritu said they are looking to make up the difference through state grants and private development. Mary Hess, a D-428 school board member, said the proposition seemed risky.

“It kind of seems like a gamble,” Hess said.

Andrea Gorla, assistant superintendent of business and finances at District 428, said the school district’s tax rate would rise higher if the districts were established.

She said the district is already expecting that rate to go up because of the district’s debt.

“It [will have more impact] to our tax rate than it would have in a growing property value situation,” Gorla said.

Crews battle pallet company fire

By JILLIAN DUCHNOWSKI jduchnowski@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Firefighters battled high temperatures and a fire that attacked a storage shed and the attic of a larger attached shed at Beau Industries on Friday.

DeKalb firefighters were called to 1300 Oak St. about 7:14 p.m. Friday when someone noticed smoke in the area, DeKalb Fire Chief Eric Hicks said. No one was on the premises of the commercial pallet manufacturer, so firefighters attacked the larger structure from the inside and the smaller structure from the outside.

The fire was under control within 40 minutes, but crews were still working on the scene about an hour later, Hicks said. By then, investigators had not determined where the fire started or its possible causes, nor had they estimated the cost of damage.

Firefighters from area departments also responded, and leaders were taking extra precaution because of the heat.

“It’s very hot out,” Hicks said, “so we’re trying to rehab our guys regularly.”

Photos shed light on Boston manhunt

By JAY LINDSAY The Associated Press BOSTON – After a week of chaos, the suspect in the deadly Boston Marathon bombings emerged from his hiding spot bloodied and seemingly exhausted – the red dot of a sniper’s rifle lighting his forehead.

Photos of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev released by a state police officer give a long-awaited glimpse into the end of an episode that kept the city and its suburbs on edge.

The images, the first of Tsarnaev from that night in April, were released to Boston Magazine on Thursday by a state police photographer

angry about a Rolling Stone cover shot of Tsarnaev and hoping to counter what he said was the music magazine’s glamorization of the terror suspect.

The release was unauthorized, and Sgt. Sean Murphy faces an internal investigation and possible suspension.

Murphy’s 14 photos show the 19-year-old Tsarnaev emerging from his hiding spot in a drydocked boat in Watertown, just west of Boston, his right hand up in surrender in one, his head buried in his arms in another. In every picture of Tsarnaev, the red dot of a sniper’s rifle sight is trained on his head.

Dick was a veteran of the U.S. Navy. He was employed as a foreman by Del Monte for more than 30 years. A former member of DeKalb Elks, Dick liked to bowl and fish, and especially liked going to his cabin in Wisconsin.

He is survived by his children, Steve (Debbie) Knutzen of DeKalb, Tami (Scott) Taylor of Edgerton, Wis., and Tina Knutzen of DeKalb; grandchildren, Angela, Sara, Amanda, Daniel and Jacob; great-grandchildren, Jaythan, Bella, Raina and Colton; brother, Charles (Lola) Knutzen of Colorado; sister, Jeanette Kafer of Green Lake; and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Netta, in 2005; son, Doug, in 2011; and parents.

The memorial service will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, July 27, at Anderson Funeral Home, DeKalb, with the Rev. Robert Vaughn of Malta Congregational Church officiating.

Interment of cremated remains will follow at Malta Cemetery, Malta, with full military honors by a DeKalb County Honor Guard.

To Watertown resident Anna Lanzo, the photos show a teen, as weary as he appears, still capable of standing, running and doing the damage she worried he’d do when she was trapped in her house three months ago while her neighborhood was on lockdown.

“I was petrified,” said Lanzo, 70, who recalled police swarming her yard, searching under her car and motioning her to get back whenever she approached her windows while they searched.

Watertown town Councilor Cecilia Lenk saw nothing she didn’t expect in the pictures of Tsarnaev, but it doesn’t mean the photos had no effect. Start-

DeKALB – A 24-year-old DeKalb man accused of trying to strangle his ex-girlfriend Thursday was being held without bond Friday in DeKalb County Jail, authorities said.

The victim had received an order of protection prohibiting him from coming near her apartment in the 100 block of North Third Street in DeKalb, police said.

But Buddy Lee Otis, of the 1300 block of West Lincoln Highway, had her 4-year-old son let him into the apartment about 12:30 a.m. Thursday, police said.

Otis awakened the woman by grabbing her hair and hitting her on top of the head, police said.

He tried to suffocate her with a pillow or his hands, and later tackled her and again tried to strangle her when she tried to run to the balcony with her phone, police said. He took her cellphone and wouldn’t let her

leave the apartment until 2:30 p.m. Thursday.

The two walked with her son to Hopkins Park, where he gave back her phone and continued walking north on Sycamore Road.

She called police, who Buddy arrested him Lee Otis in a shopping center along Sycamore Road.

The woman suffered cuts and bruises, as well as pain on the top of her head, police said.

Otis was charged with home invasion, aggravated domestic battery, unlawful restraint, violation of an order of protection and interfering with the reporting of domestic violence.

The most serious charge he faces, home invasion, is typically punishable by between six and 30 years in prison.

Otis is next due in court Tuesday.

Chicago school layoffs blamed on state crisis The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Chicago Public Schools and city leaders say the state’s failure to enact pension reform is to blame for the district laying off more than 2,100 employees.

But at a Chicago Teachers Union news conference Friday, affected teachers and parents pointed to Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Public Schools for failing to find money for education.

Emanuel called the layoffs – which include 1,036 teachers – “yet another painful reminder to Springfield that we need immediate pension relief.”

“The pension crisis is no longer around the corner,” he said. “It has arrived at our schools.”

The Legislature has been unable to reach a deal to reduce the unfunded pension liability in its five retirement systems.

Lawmakers also rejected a plan to let CPS make smaller pension contributions – a proposal that critics called the same kind of delayed payment plan that got the state into its current nearly $100 billion pension crisis.

The cuts CPS announced Thursday are on top of about 850 layoffs announced earlier this year.

House votes to eliminate ‘No Child’

President Barack Obama speaks Friday at the White House about the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin. The president urged the public to accept the verdict, saying “once the jury’s spoken, that’s how our system works.”

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

President: Trayvon ‘could have been me’ in years past The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – In a rare and public reflection on race, President Barack Obama called on the nation Friday to do some soul searching over the death of Trayvon Martin and the acquittal of his shooter, saying the slain black teenager “could have been me 35 years ago.” Empathizing with the pain of many black Americans, Obama said the case conjured up a hard history of racial injustice “that doesn’t go away.”

Obama’s personal comments, in a surprise appearance in the White House press room, marked his most extensive discussion of race as president. For Obama,

who has written about his own struggles with racial identity but often has shied away from the subject in office, the speech signaled an unusual embrace of his standing as the nation’s first black president and the longing of many African-Americans for him to give voice to their experiences.

“When you think about why, in the African-American community at least, there’s a lot of pain around what happened here, I think it’s important to recognize that the African-American community is looking at this issue through a set of experiences and a history that doesn’t go away,” Obama said during his 20-minute re-

Police: Four men held in ‘deplorable’ Texas home HOUSTON – Four men found living in “deplorable conditions” in a Houston garage on Friday told police that they were held captive after being lured by promises of food and cigarettes so that their captor could cash their public-assistance checks, authorities said.

Three of the men were malnourished and taken to a hospital after being discovered by officers responding to a 911 call about the home, Houston police spokeswoman Jodi Silva said. Investigators were still trying to determine how long the men lived there, but they said it may have been weeks.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – The space race didn’t just bring Tang and toy rockets. It also launched federal student loans.

Since the Cold War days, student loan debt has soared to $1.2 trillion. Uncle Sam is now the big banker on campus. How did we get here?

Americans got a shock from the sky in October 1957.

The first artificial satellite was passing overhead.

And it wasn’t just man-made, it was Soviet-made. Sputnik stoked big fears that American students might not be up to the challenge of competing with Russian scientists.

Calls to improve science and technical education led President Dwight Eisenhower to establish a low-interest college loan program through the National Defense Education Act of 1958.

The loan dollars came directly from the government.

Then came Lyndon Johnson’s “war on poverty.”

Student loans got a major boost in 1965 as part of the president’s Great Society initiatives. The Higher Education Act expanded loans and grants, contributing to the era’s college boom.

It also changed the way the federal loan program was financed. Instead of using government money directly, the loans would be made by bankers. But if students

marks.

A Florida jury last week acquitted George Zimmerman of all charges in the February 2012 shooting of Martin, an unarmed 17-yearold. The verdict was cheered by those who agreed that Zimmerman was acting in self-defense, while others protested the outcome, believing Zimmerman had targeted Martin because he was black.

Despite his emotional comments on the case, the president appeared to signal that the Justice Department was unlikely to file federal civil rights charges against Zimmerman. Traditionally, he said, “these are issues of state and local government.”

Student loans, from space to Obamacare

COUPON

WASHINGTON – House Republicans voted Friday to dismantle the troubled No Child Left Behind law for evaluating America’s students and schools, saying states and local school districts rather than Washington should be setting rules for ensuring that kids are getting good educations.

The legislation would eliminate federally required testing of students, which has been controversial from the start. But the measure passed with no Democratic support and drew a veto threat from the Obama administration, which said it would be a “step backward” in efforts to better prepare children for colleges and careers and to bring improvements to low-performing schools.

Democrats in the Senate, where they hold the majority, are working on their own bill. It would also give states greater flexibility in designing school improvement standards. But it would maintain the authority of the federal education secretary to approve those plans. A Senate vote on that legislation is unlikely until autumn.

The House bill, which Republicans named the Student Success Act and Democrats dubbed the Letting Students Down Act, passed 221-207, with every Democrat, and 12 Republicans voting against it.

That partisanship comes against a background in which nearly everyone agrees that No Child Left Behind, while achieving some successes in improving achievement levels, is too inflexible and needs a major overhaul.

No Child Left Behind was passed by Congress in 2001.

defaulted, the government guaranteed that it would cover the tab. Lawmakers liked that approach because outstanding loans wouldn’t show up on the government’s books as red ink.

Richard Nixon brought us Sallie Mae. That’s the nickname for the Student Loan Marketing Association, created in 1972 to help college students borrow more money. Sallie Mae was fully privatized in 2004 and is now a corporate giant of the private student loan and college savings businesses.

Using private companies to handle government-backed loans was more complicated and more expensive for taxpayers than direct federal loans. So President Bill Clinton sought to switch back to a direct-loan system more like the one in the Sputnik days.

But many Republican lawmakers opposed direct loans. And lenders didn’t want the feds moving in on their lucrative market.

The 2008 financial crisis changed everything. The big lenders waged an intense lobbying campaign to hang onto the student loan market. But in the end, Congress approved President Barack Obama’s plan to give commercial banks the boot.

It was packaged with legislation finalizing the health care overhaul dubbed “Obamacare.”

Local 4-H’ers show off skills

The exploitation of Trayvon Martin Although they may not realize it, some supporters of the dead teenager Trayvon Martin are actually exploiting him, using his death to advance their own personal agendas. That is very disturbing when you think about it.

After the acquittal of George Zimmerman, one loon out in San Francisco justified some mob-driven property damage, saying: “We have to grow a new society. A people society. Not one where Wells Fargo, the Federal Reserve, all these big banks.

We need a whole new system!”

A protester in D.C. said: “We don’t get democracy. We get capitalism. We get white supremacy.”

And then there was race. Radical Catholic priest Michael Pfleger in Chicago told his congregation: “We are not in a postracial area. In fact, racism has a second breath in America today and [with the verdict] it got new oxygen.”

So, if you believe the fringe, the reason Zimmerman was found not guilty by a jury of six women is that they are racists who want big business to dominate the country.

Makes sense to me.

And then there are the grievance folks.

Talk-radio host Tavis Smiley told ABC

VIEWS Bill O’Reilly News that it is open season on black men in this country. According to Smiley, the Zimmerman verdict is “just another piece of evidence of the incontrovertible contempt that this nation often shows and displays for black men.”

Wow. At the top, President Barack Obama used the verdict to call for stricter gun control measures. And Attorney General Eric Holder told the nation that Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law should be repealed. All of this was said in the name of a Florida teenager who died unnecessarily.

The truth is that cynical opportunists often use tragedies to their advantage. For me, the death of Martin and the subsequent prosecution of Zimmerman were lessons in confrontation, not anything else.

We live in a country where citizens must understand that intense personal interactions can lead to disaster. I can’t

tell you how many times I have wanted to confront somebody who was doing something wrong in my presence. But I simply can’t. There are legions of sleazy lawyers lined up to attack the affluent in court. If you have money, these parasites will find a legal way to harm you. Just fighting nuisance suits can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

And then there are the unstable folks who will do you physical damage. Road rage, verbal assaults, threats – you have to walk or drive away. It is far too risky to confront the perpetrator and “work it out.”

Of course, sometimes you must stand your ground – but not often. Zimmerman was told by a 911 operator to stay in his car. He did not. Disaster followed. It didn’t have to happen.

Exploiters of the Martin case should be ashamed. For everyone else, there is one huge lesson: Avoid confrontation if you possibly can. No good can come of it.

U.S. must do more to oust Syria’s Assad

By CARL LEVIN and ANGUS KING For the Washington Post As members of the Senate Armed Services and intelligence committees, we knew much about the horrors in Syria before our recent visit to the region. But reading briefing slides in Washington is very different from meeting some of the hundreds of thousands of civilians who have fled for their lives to camps across the border.

They told us heartbreaking stories of how they sought shelter in mosques and schools, how Bashar Assad’s government targeted civilian neighborhoods for destruction, how their children still quake at harmless noises that remind them of the violence they sought to escape.

We believe the United States should join with its partners and allies in the region and elsewhere to pursue an end to the bloodshed. An international coalition that strengthens the military and political capabilities of thoroughly vetted anti-Assad forces should supply equipment and training. That coalition should also plan for steps that would place even greater military pressure on the Assad regime, including possible strikes against

the missiles, aircraft and other heavy weapons that are the instruments of Assad’s campaign of terror.

These steps offer the best hope of convincing Assad and his few allies that a political solution is their only viable course. No one – not our allies, not the Syrian opposition and not either of us – is advocating U.S. boots on the ground in Syria. That would not help the opposition and is unacceptable to the American people.

We do not underestimate the challenges to U.S. involvement in this crisis. The presence of anti-Assad forces that are aligned with al-Qaida and other extremist groups means we must exercise great caution in whom we train and support.

But as substantial as these risks are, the costs of inaction are equally high. Assad’s survival, with support from Iran and Hezbollah, would surely strengthen them, to our great detriment. If Assad breaches the international consensus against the use of chemical weapons without repercussions, the United States – and every other nation – will be less secure. The intensifying violence in Syria has greatly stressed its neighbors and raised the specter of increased tension between Kurdish

populations and governments in Turkey and Iraq.

In addition to these practical costs is the human price of inaction. If Assad’s campaign continues, he will kill more innocents, shell more homes into rubble and cause more innocent men, women and children to suffer. Stronger action in Syria is in our national security interests and is in keeping with our values.

Present in our minds, and in those of many other Americans, are bitter memories of the Iraq war, which we both opposed at the time. To be clear, we are reluctant to become, in any way, involved in yet another war in the Middle East.

But U.S. national interests are at stake if the Syrian conflict continues to threaten regional stability, including that of partners such as Israel, Turkey and Jordan. It is critical to learn from our experiences in Iraq by taking a different approach to the conflict in Syria.

First and foremost, we propose that any action be taken in concert with our allies and international partners, in particular with other countries in the region and including Syria’s Arab and Muslim neighbors. Any strikes against the instruments of Assad’s terror should result from coalition

deliberations – and we have called on our government and other members of the “London 11” nations to convene as soon as possible to agree to a comprehensive strategy to heighten the pressure on Assad. In contrast, the war in Iraq was launched with very little international support and a small coalition that did not include a single Arab or Muslim country.

The situation is also far different in Syria, where a widespread insurgency has strong popular support. There was no similar broadly popular insurgency calling for our help in Iraq when the United States invaded in 2003.

And whereas Iraq involved a massive ground invasion by tens of thousands of U.S. troops, we oppose putting U.S. troops on the ground in Syria.

We advocate careful planning as part of a broad coalition to support Syrians’ efforts to do what only they can do: force Assad and his sponsors to the negotiating table, where a transition plan can be developed to avoid a follow-on civil war and achieve regional stability.

Thumbs up: To 4-H. No longer a club just for farm kids, today’s 4-H’ers are as likely to come from the city as a farm, and they work on more than 170 types of projects, including robotics, computers and visual arts. Anyone who attended the local 4-H project show this week can appreciate the variety and quality of projects on display, but more importantly, the organization teaches kids to pursue knowledge on their own, to work independently toward a goal and to hone their speaking and communication skills. Those skills and habits will serve them well throughout their lives.

Thumbs down: To one of the gloomiest employment pictures in the country. Illinois’ unemployment rate for this month is 9.2 percent, with only tourismdependent Nevada worse off. It’s no mystery why our state is trailing the rest of America in job creation – employers don’t want to expand their businesses in a state that can’t get its financial act together. The longer our lawmakers take to address the state’s pension crisis, the longer we should expect these doldrums to persist. How long will it be before we are dead last?

Thumbs down: To what could be the final failing of Detroit – the largest municipal bankruptcy in American history. The city, under state-mandated control of emergency manager Kevyn Orr, filed for bankruptcy protection Thursday, citing more than $20 billion in debts and liabilities to more than 100,000 creditors.

Pensioners and others are fighting the bankruptcy in court for fear their benefits will be reduced. The case could take years to resolve, but it might help the city to re-emerge after years of neglect and corruption. If ever Illinois needed a cautionary tale, could there be a better example?

Thumbs up: To Dee and Don Anderson, who have been delivering meals to the elderly in DeKalb and Sycamore for nearly 20 years as part of the Meals on Wheels program run by the Voluntary Action Center. Sometimes, the program and its volunteers provide more than meals. The Andersons once helped a woman who was lying on the floor in her home and couldn’t get up. They also provide human contact, casual conversation and a way to check in on the area’s elderly. The community is lucky to have the Andersons and the many other Meals on Wheels volunteers.

8 OUR VIEW

Changes ahead for health care The new marketplace opening in October will sell only one type of item – but it’s something that never has been presented in this manner before.

Oct. 1 is when open enrollment in the Health Insurance Marketplace, or the Exchange, starts in Illinois. It’s part of the federal Affordable Care Act, which, among other things, mandates all Americans have health insurance or pay a fine.

The Exchange is an online For the record portal that will serve as a central location for residents and The Affordable Care small businesses to compare Act is controversial, but and choose from dozens of it’s important to learn insurance plans. Six providers about the law and what it have proposed 165 plans, and means to DeKalb County’s coverage kicks in Jan. 1. Each residents. plan will be categorized in one of four “metal” levels – bronze, silver, gold and platinum, with bronze the lowest and platinum the highest in terms of coverage, breadth of services and cost.

Some who utilize the Exchange will qualify for subsidies or be eligible for Medicaid. Those who already have insurance don’t have to shop the Exchange, but may want to check it out to see if they can save on insurance costs. State officials have said they initially expect about 500,000 residents to apply when the market opens Oct. 1, and expect it to increase to 1 million people by 2016.

In DeKalb County, for instance, the act will allow an estimated 6,288 residents, up to age 64 who are uninsured, to become eligible for Medicaid. An additional 5,208 uninsured residents will be eligible for a subsidy to help pay costs, according to a study posted on the website of Illinois Health Matters.

The Affordable Care Act, often called Obamacare, usually elicits strong reactions. Some love it. Some hate it. We have concerns about where the money will come from to pay for its many provisions and regulations, and the financial burden it will impose on taxpayers and businesses. We’re also not thrilled with the federal government getting involved so deeply in personal and business decisions.

But that isn’t stopping us – and it shouldn’t stop you – from learning all we can about the Exchange and the law, and what it could mean for our personal situations.

The Daily Chronicle is setting out to do just that: Starting today and for the next six months, we plan to run an occasional series that aims to educate about the changes wrought by the Affordable Care Act. Some stories will focus on the Exchange, including how it could affect residents, businesses and health care systems. Others will focus on the numerous changes – such as the mandate to have insurance and eliminating annual limits on insurance coverage – that start Jan. 1. No matter the topic, all of the articles aim to educate our readers so they can make decisions that are best for them.

increase to 1 million people by 2016. State officials have been training community organizations to act as counselors for those needing assistance understanding premiums, deductibles, co-pays and other insurance issues.

Quinn announced Wednesday that the state received a $27 million federal grant to disperse to 44 community organizations for the training and outreach that will be needed.

“We know that many of those of who are eligible for subsidized coverage through the ACA have never, or rarely, had access to comprehensive health coverage,” said

Jennifer Koehler, director of the marketplace. “We have a big job to do between now and Oct. 1 in terms of educating our target population.”

Claffey said in addition to the Oct. 1 opening date, Dec. 15, Jan. 1 and March are important dates to know.

Although open enrollment in the health insurance marketplace begins Oct. 1, coverage won’t kick in until Jan. 1 at the earliest. March is when the marketplace will close enrollment until the fall.

“To be covered on Jan. 1, you have to sign up by Dec.

“We know that many of those of who are eligible for subsidized coverage through the ACA have never, or rarely, had access to comprehensive health coverage. We have a big job to do between now and Oct. 1 in terms of educating our target population.”

15,” Claffey said. “There will be no payments until the insurance starts in January.”

Those who don’t purchase a plan and remain uninsured – despite being able to afford insurance – will have to pay a penalty on their federal tax return. The penalty would start at $95, or 1 percent of annual income, whichever is greater, for working, uninsured residents before

increasing significantly in each following year of going without insurance.

Many could also find benefits to purchasing insurance through the marketplace.

Illinois is one of 25 states that have or are expected to accept expanded Medicaid coverage.

In Illinois, the expanded Medicaid coverage means that 600,000 residents who do not currently qualify but have an

income level at 138 percent of the federal poverty line – roughly $16,000 a year – will be covered.

Those with higher incomes also can receive a subsidy, although it will be less as their income increases.

Because the Legislature didn’t pass a governing structure and funding mechanism for an insurance marketplace, the state entered into a partnership with the federal government. The partnership puts the state in control of recommending plans, driving enrollment and educating the public, while the federal government will approve the plans that can be purchased and make direct payments to carriers for those who receive subsidies.

Ann Ford, executive director for Illinois Network

of Centers for Independent Living, said Oct. 1 cannot come soon enough. Her organization, which serves people with disabilities and has a center in DeKalb County, is one of the 44 that will receive money to train in-person counselors.

Ford, who has a disability and could not receive health insurance until she was eligible for Medicare, said the new law that requires insurance companies to accept people with pre-existing conditions will open a new world to thousands of people.

“We have a lot of outreach to do to people because many have never had insurance,” Ford said. “We can’t wait to walk them through what will finally be available to them.”

This is the first in an occasional series from the

Retiree obligations weighing city down Suit: Officer punched man in face revenue is to attract more workers and residents so they pay taxes. But with high crime, poor services and decrepit neighborhoods, people are moving out rather than in.

The population has fallen to around 700,000, less than half as many people as during the heyday of the 1950s.

Much of the city’s debt to banks and bondholders is secured by tax revenue, and just how much the creditors get will have to be hashed out in court. A big chunk is owed to employee pension plans and for the health care costs of more than 18,000 retirees. So the city is caught in a time warp of sorts. It has obligations leftover from the boom days, with today’s much smaller revenue base.

“Even if they were completely successful in wiping out all of the debt, it doesn’t solve all of the problems,” said Steve Miller, board chairman at insurance giant AIG who has turned around a number of struggling companies.

“The retirement obligation and health care obligation of a

“In General Motors, at least you could have this dream about there being increased revenues in the future,” said Douglas Baird, a bankruptcy law professor at the University of Chicago. “It’s much harder to do that in the case of a city like Detroit because it doesn’t sell a product.”

Detroit, which filed the largest municipal bankruptcy case in American history, owes as much as $20 billion to banks, bondholders and pension funds. It has revenue of about $1.1 billion per year, a number that drops by about $100 million annually. And it’s burdened with a running deficit of $327 million.

The city had to borrow $80 million from Bank of America last year just to keep the lights on.

City taxes are already at limits set by the state, so the only way Detroit can raise

workforce that used to support a 2 million population cannot be supported with the diminished population of 700,000.”

Detroit’s problem, he said, is similar to what he faced at Bethlehem Steel, which had 12,000 active workers contributing to pension plans that served 130,000 retirees.

“There was no way to make that math work,” Miller said.

Retirees had to take reduced benefits after pensions were turned over to the federal government.

Like those at Bethlehem Steel, Detroit’s pensioners are also likely to see benefit cuts.

And because they’re lower in the pecking order of creditors, they may bear the brunt of the city’s ills, Baird said.

And many will have trouble taking the hit, especially those hurt in the line of duty.

“Some of them were shot.

Some of them had buildings fall on them,” said Don Taylor, president of the Retired Detroit Police & Fire Fighters Association. “And they’ve been injured for life. They can’t get other jobs.”

• LAWSUIT Continued from page A1 Genoa officials, said the 30day suspension happened more than a decade ago. She denies Genoa officials made a bad hire.

Lopez remains a full-time officer in Hanover Park and a part-time Genoa police officer, Harrington said. She said Lopez was acting within his discretion as a police officer and had probable cause to arrest Cravatta.

The legal issues in the civil lawsuit are separate from the legal issues in the criminal case, she said.

“The issue of liability will certainly be strongly contested,” Harrington said. “From our standpoint, we believe that the officers involved acted appropriately in the cir-

cumstances involved.”

The early morning incident started with an anonymous 911 call about a domestic disturbance from the Mobil gas station near Washington and Main streets in Genoa, according to Cravatta’s federal lawsuit. Cravatta was trying to get his son-inlaw, Marco Mariazzi, back to Cravatta’s house. Mariazzi was intoxicated at the time, Cronauer said. Police suspected Cravatta of pushing Mariazzi to the ground and choking him.

Before Cravatta was arrested, he refused to answer Lopez’s questions and turned his back on the officer, who told him “not to walk away while we are investigating this incident,” according to Cravatta’s lawsuit. Lopez then walked toward Cravatta, grabbed him by the right

arm and spun him around.

As Cravatta was spinning around, Lopez and three other Genoa police officers said Cravatta raised his arms in an aggressive matter, Cronauer said. Lopez then punched Cravatta twice in the face, which pushed Cravatta’s head into a brick wall and caused him to fall to the ground, according to Cravatta’s lawsuit.

Lopez then picked Cravatta up, placed him against the squad car and kneed him in the thigh while handcuffing him, according to Cravatta’s lawsuit. Genoa police officers denied Lopez kneed Cravatta during the criminal trial this week, Cronauer said.

Jurors found Cravatta not guilty of domestic battery and aggravated assault after a two-day trial in DeKalb County court.

Two indicted for threatening Tygart DENVER – Two men have been charged with directing threats toward U.S. Anti-Doping Agency CEO Travis Tygart (above) in the aftermath of USADA’s decision to strip cyclist Lance Armstrong of his Tour de France titles.

One indictment, unsealed Thursday, alleges that Gerrit Keats of Clearwater, Fla., threatened Tygart via interstate communication in October.

The other, unsealed Friday, makes the same charge against Robert Hutchins of Sandy, Utah.

That indictment says Hutchins made the threat last Aug. 23, the same day Armstrong announced he wasn’t going to fight the USADA sanctions for doping. “I have been subjected to a two-year federal criminal investigation followed by Travis Tygart’s unconstitutional witch hunt,” the cyclist said in a letter to the agency.

Keats was arrested Thursday in Clearwater and Hutchins on Tuesday in Salt Lake City.

Both are scheduled to make appearances in federal court July 29 in Denver.

Making threats via interstate commerce carries up to a five-year prison sentence and a $250,000 fine.

A woman in the driveway of Keats’ home, who refused to identify herself, said that neither he nor the family would talk.

Public records identify Keats as a urologist born in 1941 with a clear and active medical license.

No one answered the phone at a number listed in public records for Hutchins.

Shortly after Armstrong said he wouldn’t fight the USADA sanctions, Tygart revealed he had received death threats and was asking the FBI to investigate.

In an interview with “60 Minutes” after the Armstrong penalties, Tygart said the death threats came anonymously via emails and letters.

Asked if he remembered any specific threats, Tygart said, “The worst was probably puttin’ a bullet in my head.”

When news of the arrests went public, USADA chairman Edwin Moses released a statement thanking the FBI and U.S. attorney’s office for handling the case.

CHICAGO – Brian McCann hit a three-run homer in the sixth inning to break open a tie game and the Atlanta Braves started the second half of the season with a 6-4 victory over the White Sox on Friday night.

Braves starter Tim Hudson (7-7) earned his third straight win after a 10-start winless streak. He pitched 7⅓ innings, giving up four runs on eight hits while striking out four and walking two. Craig Kimbrell pitched the ninth for his 27th save in 29 outings.

Sox starter John Danks (27) took his seventh loss in his last 10 starts. Danks pitched seven innings, allowing all five Atlanta runs on seven hits, including homers by McCann and Andrelton Sim-

Next vs. Atlanta, 3 p.m. today, FOX, AM-670 mons. He struck out four and walked none. Danks also uncorked a wild pitch before to McCann’s homer.

Atlanta, which ended the first half of the season losing two of its last three, snapped a five-game interleague losing streak to the Sox. It was the Sox’s eighth loss in its last 11 games, 22 of 31 and 32 of 45. The Sox are now 19 games under .500 for the first time since Sept. 27, 2007, when they were 70-89.

Atlanta took a 2-0 lead in the third inning. Chris Johnson, who had three hits in the

game, led off with a single and scored on Simmons’ ninth home run, to left field.

The Sox tied the game in the bottom of the third. Gordon Beckham led off with a single, but was forced at second on a fielder’s choice to Josh Phegley. Alexei Ramirez singled, his first of three hits, advancing Phegley to second, and then Alex Rios followed with a two-run double deep to right-center.

The Sox had a good chance to take the lead in the fifth. Alejandro De Aza and Ramirez had back-to-back one-out singles, putting runners at first and third. Rios’ grounder to short was bobbled

by Simmons, but he recovered in time to turn an inning-ending double play.

Brent is charged in a Dec. 8 car crash that killed practice squad player Jerry Brown. Authorities say Brent’s blood-alcohol level was twice the legal limit on the night of the crash. Brent and Brown also were teammates at Illinois.

His trial is slated to begin Sept.

23, the day after the Cowboys play the St. Louis Rams.

George Milner, Brent’s attorney, said Friday he expected the six current and former Cowboys may be called to testify about being at the same nightclub as Brent and Brown the night of the crash.

TOUR DE FRANCE

Everest in a day: Tour turns brutal

By JOHN LEICESTER The Associated Press LE GRAND-BORNAND, France – Half the height of Mount Everest, climbed on a bike, in a single day. Even

by Tour de France standards, Stage 19 was hard.

“At times, you just feel like you’re being tortured,” was how American rider Andrew Talansky described Friday’s ordeal – arguably the toughest stage of the 100th Tour – that started with two monster climbs as riders were still digesting breakfast.

“You’re just like, ‘What is this?’ But you dig in and keep going.”

The GPS minicomputer the Garmin rider carries on his bike did the sums: 14,498 feet ridden uphill – close to the height of Western Europe’s loftiest peak, Mont Blanc, and half of Everest at 29,035 feet.

The riders also zoomed 13,907 feet downhill. Talansky’s gizmo showed he burned 5,670 calories during the sixhour suffer-fest.

The difficulty of Stage 19 made Chris Froome “quite nervous.” Once he got through it with his big race lead intact, the British rider finally started to allow his mind to fast-forward to the finish Sunday.

The last Alpine stage today – 77 miles in the mountains towering above the limpid waters of

The pack rides down Glandon pass Friday during the 19th stage of the Tour de France with the start in in Bourg-d’Oisans and the finish in Le Grand-Bornand, France.

Lake Annecy – won’t be enough for second-place Alberto Contador to puncture Froome’s cushion of more than five minutes.

In all but name, the 28-year-old is champion of the 100th Tour.

“One more day to really stay concentrated and to stay up front and look after the yellow jersey and then looking forward to taking it to Paris,” Froome said. “It’s going to be very hard for someone to take more than five minutes in 125 kilometers.

But having said that, I don’t want to be complacent.”

No, that can wait until Sunday evening – when Froome and the other survivors of this three-week, 2,115-mile clockwise trek around Western Eu-

rope’s largest country will clip their feet into the pedals for the final 82 miles to Paris.

Traditionally, that last stage is a relaxed lap of honor, at least until the pack hits the cobbles of the Champs-Elysees. There, Mark Cavendish and other sprint-finish specialists will battle for the bragging rights of the stage win on that leafy boulevard the French modestly call the most beautiful avenue in the world. The unique dusk finish for this 100th Tour, just as the sun sets behind the Arc de Triomphe, should be extra special.

While the top spot is taken, podium places next to Froome are still very much up for grabs.

Just 47 seconds separate sec-

ond-placed Contador from Joaquim Rodriguez in fifth.

Sandwiched between those Spaniards are Colombian Nairo Quintana, in third, and Contador’s Czech teammate Roman Kreuziger, in fourth. They are all more than five minutes behind Froome.

With Froome so dominant and his lead so large, Saturday’s penultimate stage might have been devoid of all suspense were the battle for podium places not so close and intense behind him. Places aren’t just for honor. There are financial incentives, too. Second-place prize is $263,000. Third gets half that.

Froome will get 450,000 euros.

With a succession of six climbs, getting harder and ending with a steep uphill, Stage 20 offers a fine arena for the contenders to land their final punches. The last climb today is HC or Hors Categorie, meaning it’s considered too hard to classify. Riders can lose or gain big time on such ascents, but surely not the more than five minutes they would need to dethrone Froome, not unless he crashes or has a similar mishap.

Quintana, who is 21 seconds behind Contador, wasn’t giving away his strategy, “We have to wait and see how the stage develops.

Sometimes you visualize it one way, and the stage doesn’t develop how you think it will.

We’ll decide during the stage,” he said.

Sox scored two runs in eighth to get within 5-4 • SOX Continued from page B1 The Braves broke the game open with a three-run sixth.

Joey Terdoslavich and Justin Upton both had singles and then advanced to second and third on a wild pitch by Danks.

McCann then hit a two-out, 3-2 pitch for his 13th home run, giving the Braves a 5-2 lead.

The Sox scored two runs in the eighth to get within 5-4.

De Aza led off with walk and

stole second and scored on Ramirez’s RBI double to left.

Jeff Keppinger’s bloop single to right scored Ramirez.

The Braves added an insurance run in the ninth when Upton singled off Sox reliever Matt Lindstrom, went to second on an infield out and scored on Johnson’s single to right.

Before to the game, Sox RHP Jake Peavy (6-4, 4.30) was activated off the disabled list.

He will start today against Braves lefty Paul Maholm (9-

8, 3.98).

Peavy had been sidelined since June 5 with a rib he fractured June 4 at Seattle.

NHL

Hawks to host Caps, Ovechkin in opener NHL returns to Olympics

By IRA PODELL The Associated Press NEW YORK – Now that the NHL knows for sure it will take a break for next year’s Sochi Games, the league has released its long-awaited schedule that features realignment and a slew of new division names and rivals.

Shortly after the NHL said Friday it would send its players to the Olympics for the fifth straight time, it announced its 1,230-game regular-season slate. The season will be put on hold for 2½ weeks in February to accommodate the 2014 Games in Russia.

Opening night Oct. 1 will feature the Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks hosting the Washington Capitals and Hart Trophy winner Alex Ovechkin. The regular season con-

cludes April 13, with the playoffs beginning three days later.

The league’s four new divisions will be called Metropolitan and Atlantic in the Eastern Conference, and Central and Pacific in the West. No teams in what was the Atlantic Division are in the new group of that name.

The Western Conference is made up of two seven-team divisions, while the Eastern Conference has two eight-team groupings.

The Metropolitan Division consists of the Washington Capitals, Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Flyers, New Jersey Devils, New York Rangers, New York Islanders, Carolina Hurricanes and Columbus Blue Jackets, who have moved from the West to the East.

The Atlantic is made up of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens, Ottawa Senators, Buffalo Sabres, Detroit Red Wings, Boston Bruins, Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning. Detroit has also shifted from the West to the East.

Blackhawks defenseman Michal Rozsival hoists the Stanley Cup on June 24 in Boston after the Hawks beat the Boston Bruins, 3-2, in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final. The NHL released its schedule Friday, and opening night Oct. 1 will feature the Hawks hosting the Washington Capitals.

The Central includes the Hawks, Winnipeg Jets, Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars, Minnesota Wild, Nashville

Predators and St. Louis Blues.

The Pacific is comprised of the Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers,

San Jose Sharks, Los Angeles Kings, Phoenix Coyotes and Anaheim Ducks.

The annual Winter Classic,

to be played on New Year’s Day at Michigan Stadium between the Maple Leafs and Red Wings, won’t be alone in the great outdoors. This season it is one of six games to be staged in the elements.

The last will be a matchup between the Penguins and Hawks at Soldier Field on March 1 at night. The annual Heritage Classic will be in Vancouver on March 2 when the Canucks host the Ottawa Senators.

That will be just four days after the NHL returns from the Olympic break that runs from Feb. 9 through 25.

The schedule will have quite a different look this time.

Every team is slated to meet every other club both home and away, with new rivalries developing in the revamped divisions after franchises changed conferences to make things more balanced geographically.

Travel for Columbus and Detroit will be a whole lot easier now that they are with Eastern time zone teams instead of lots of trips out West.

Danika Thibault in Orlando for IKF world title Dekalb’s Danika Thibault will be heading to Orlando to fight for her second IKF World Kickboxing Championship this weekend.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS WINNIPEG, Manitoba – Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews brought the Stanley Cup home to Canada and was greeted by hundreds of fans upon his arrival.

Toews showed off the famous trophy Friday during a public celebration, and then spent private time with his family.

Hundreds of people lined up for several hours in blazing heat to meet Toews – and admire the Cup – at a community center named after him.

The crowd screamed and cheered as Toews gingerly carried the Stanley Cup past the crowd. He hoisted it above his head on an outdoor stage and kissed it.

“It’s always a pretty special feeling to see the support that I’m lucky to get when I come back to Winnipeg,” Toews said.

“Obviously, this is an honor to bring this Cup back to my home community center.”

DETROIT BANKRUPTCY

Jimenez finds the fun in a tough day at Muirfield

City’s uncertainty may spare sports

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press GULLANE, Scotland – Miguel Angel Jimenez looked like the only guy who was having fun.

On a punishing day at Muirfield – the course with a reputation as the fairest links of them all – leave it to a 49-year-old Spaniard who enjoys the simple pleasures in life to make such a demanding test at the British Open seem like just another round of golf.

There was calamity all around him Friday.

Zach Johnson lost the lead with a three-putt from 10 feet.

Brandt Snedeker, regarded as one of the best putters in golf, took four putts from 15 feet. Tiger Woods played well enough to be only one shot behind and rarely smiled.

Jimenez, with his frizzy red hair bunched into a ponytail, made his way around Muirfield with only two bogeys for an even-par 71 that gave him a one-shot lead over Woods, Lee Westwood, Henrik Stenson and Dustin Johnson going into the weekend.

What’s a 49-year-old doing with the 36-hole lead at the British Open?

“Why? I have not the right to do it? Only the young people can do it?” Jimenez said.

“Why? I’m fine. We keep playing golf and still get myself on the golf course, and that’s the secret. Enjoy yourself what you do in life. That’s what I’m doing.”

For so many others, it was tough to enjoy anything about a course that brought the easterly wind for the first time all week, and greens that hit warp speed even after tournament officials hand-watered the putting surfaces over-

Woods went 12 holes without a birdie, saving his round with a collection of tough pars, and he finished with a 6-iron from 212 yards to 15 feet for a birdie and a 71. Westwood matched the best round of the day with a 68, while Stenson had a 70. Both of them had a double bogey on their cards. Dustin Johnson got himself into such a predicament on the 15th that his only option from a bunker was to aim sideways into the rough.

He shot 72.

“Every hole is playing hard,” Johnson said. “You don’t get any breaks. You’ve really got to grind it out. It’s tough off the tee. It’s tough on your approach shot and it’s tough putting.”

Phil Mickelson was in range of the lead until a four-

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

SEC coaches weigh talent vs. potential for trouble

By JOHN ZENOR The Associated Press HOOVER, Ala. – The legal problems of current and former SEC players – from ex-Florida and NFL tight end Aaron Hernandez to LSU running back Jeremy Hill – cast a negative light on the league that has won seven consecutive national championships.

It also highlights the challenges – and responsibilities – facing coaches who must weigh a player’s talent vs. the potential for trouble in or out of the locker room.

The biggest spotlight by far has been on Hernandez, who’s pleaded not guilty to murder in the killing of Boston semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd.

More pertinent to the upcoming season is Hill’s uncertain status while facing a misdemeanor simple battery charge from an April 27 scuffle in a bar parking lot.

Coaches at Southeastern Conference media days this week insisted they do their best to keep players behaving, which benefits the team, the players and the men paid millions to win in a powerhouse conference with high stakes and brutal competition.

Florida’s Will Muschamp understands he can’t know what every player is doing every night away from the football building. “You also can’t stick your head in the sand and pretend everything is OK, either,” Muschamp said.

He said coaches and staff need to know who players are hanging out with off the field.

“You’re 100 percent responsible,” Muschamp said. “When you sign a student-athlete to come to the University of Florida, I look at his parents, guardians, whoever is important to him in his life, tell them it’s my job to be an extension of what’s already happened at home. But you’re 100 percent responsible

for the young man. Everything that happens.”

As Alabama’s Nick Saban put it: “We can be the moral compass for our young people but we cannot always drive the ship. We cannot always be there to drive the ship.”

In the heated arms race of recruiting, coaches also bear the responsibility for signing a player who might have had off-the-field troubles.

Mississippi’s Hugh Freeze brought in one of the nation’s most surprising and highly rated talent hauls in February.

Weighing risk vs. reward is a factor in recruiting decisions, he said, not just whether a kid is deemed a four- or five-star talent.

“I do think you have to be very calculated in the risk you take because you’re under such scrutiny and you’re bringing them into your team,” Freeze said. “We try to minimize the number of at-risk issues you might have, but you’re going to have some. I have a gut feeling. I look at his support system, who he has and listen to him talk about what he wants to be known for. Then I have to make a decision on whether I think we can trust one another with our core values.”

Alabama dismissed four players from school after their arrests stemming from two violent robberies on campus barely a month after the Crimson Tide claimed its second straight national title.

Saban said every player he has kicked off has been someone the team’s leadership group felt needed to go.

“With events of today and the attention on some of the people who have been arrested in sports in the last couple of weeks, it’s even going to be more critical to players’ future that they make good choices and decisions,” Saban said. “And they have to realize that.”

putt on the 16th hole, his second double bogey of the day.

That was one hole after Mickelson made a par putt that would have gone 15 feet by if he had missed.

Zach Johnson couldn’t think of too many poor shots he hit in the blazing sunshine, except maybe for a pitching wedge he punched from 158 yards that bounded over the back of the 15th green. He chipped to 10 feet and took three putts from there for a double bogey, and he dropped one more shot on the final hole for a 75.

“I enjoy difficult tests,” said Johnson, who won the 2007 Masters in the toughest conditions at Augusta in more than 50 years. “I think everyone does. ‘Fun’ ... you’ve got to use that term loosely. What’s fun about it is that we don’t

see this but once a year.”

The reference was to links golf, though such brown, brittle conditions have not been seen at the Open since Hoylake in 2006, and the greens there weren’t nearly that quick. Mickelson said the Muirfield greens in these conditions were faster than Augusta.

Jimenez, who was at 3-under 139, has his own definition.

“The fun does not mean you have the biggest smile and start laughing all day,” he said. “Fun is when you enjoy what you’re doing. I play golf and I enjoy it. And it’s fun to me, no? Sometimes you can see me serious because of a situation, but having fun doesn’t mean that you are falling on the ground and start laughing.”

By NOAH TRISTER The Associated Press DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings are hoping to play in a new arena soon, not far from where the Tigers are defending their American League title and the Lions will soon start another football season.

All this in a city that is filing for bankruptcy, a decision that follows years of decline. Detroit owes billions to creditors and its revenues, like its population, drop each year.

Yet it’s been largely business as usual on the ice and the playing field. The bankruptcy filing Thursday left the region a bit shaken, but the professional sports teams may be spared any dramatic impact.

“We remain confident in the city of Detroit and in its future,” the Lions said in a statement Friday. “We do not anticipate that yesterday’s announcement will have any impact on Lions home games or our many other events at Ford Field.”

Spokesmen for the Red Wings and Tigers both declined comment, not wanting to speculate in the immediate aftermath of the largest bankruptcy protection request in U.S. history.

But that $650 million arena planned for the Red Wings? That can still become a reality, according to Brian Holdwick, an executive vice president for the Detroit Economic Growth Corp.

Plans for an 18,000-seat arena were announced by the team’s owners and local economic development officials last month, although the new proposal still needed to be approved by the City Council and a handful of state and local agencies.

The Red Wings said there

“I think there’s a lot of reasons why the city should be supportive [of a new arena for the Red Wings].”

Brian Holdwick Executive vice president, Detroit Economic Growth Corp. will be $367 million in private investment and $283 million in public funds in the complex, which also would include residential, retail and office space.

Spending that kind of money on an arena – in a city where bankruptcy could mean laying off employees and scaling back basic services – could draw some public resistance.

Holdwick said funding for the project would come from tax increment dollars that can’t be used by the city’s general fund anyway, so it’s not necessarily a zero-sum game between building an arena and easing Detroit’s financial pain.

Holdwick said money for the arena would go back to the state if not used for development downtown.

“I think there’s a lot of reasons why the city should be supportive,” Holdwick said. “I can’t, obviously, predict what they’ll vote.”

Even while playing in aging Joe Louis Arena, the Red Wings have been a model franchise. “Hockeytown” has been in the playoffs every season for more than two decades, and the team has won four Stanley Cup championships since 1997.

The Tigers and Lions have become pretty stable, too. They began playing in downtown stadiums across the street from each other in 2000 and 2002.

What can schools sell instead of candy? Trash bags send out invitations and thank-yous for reada-thon pledges.

“People knew that a percentage was being taken out and asked why should we do online giving if we can give a straight check?”

Panszi-Riebe recalled. “We said you can still give a check if you’re more comfortable doing it.” But because there were out-of-state givers like grandparents, she thinks more people donated online than would have if they’d had to “write a check, find a stamp and mail it.”

By BETH J. HARPAZ The Associated Press When Beth Hendrickson first proposed selling garbage bags instead of candy as a school fundraiser, “people laughed at us.”

They don’t laugh anymore. Hendrickson, principal of St. Ann Interparochial School in Morganfield, Ky., says the school makes $20,000 a year selling garbage bags. And it’s not just parents of the school’s 230 students who buy them. Local businesses and government offices in Morganfield – population 3,500 – buy garbage bags from the school as well.

“Nobody needs candy,” Hendrickson says.

“But trash bags – that’s something everybody needs.”

The trash bag sale, done through Bags for Bucks, is just one alternative to the candyand-gift wrap sales that so many communities hold when school fundraising efforts resume each fall. Some PTAs are going high-tech, using online platforms to solicit and process donations, selling digital images of kids’ artwork on coffee mugs or magnets, and hosting scavenger hunts where clues are collected with cellphone photos. And a few school groups have stopped selling products altogether, instead encouraging parents to simply write checks.

Bed sheets and greenraising

Beth Hendrickson, principal of St. Ann Interparochial School, shows some of the trash bags being sold to raise money for the school in Morganfield, Ky. Many schools and PTAs sell candy and gift wrap to raise money for activities and supplies, but St. Ann makes $20,000 a year selling trash bags to supplement the school budget. Hendrickson says the trash bags are bought by parents of the school’s 230 students as well as by residents, businesses and offices in Morganfield, population 3,500.

But others, like Hendrickson, are experimenting with sales of unusual products. The garbage bags were such a hit that when a company called Amadora approached Hendrickson about selling bed sheets, she gave it a try. The first year, the school sold about $16,000 worth of sheets to fund new classroom technology. Last year, sheet sales dropped to $9,000 – after all, how many sheets do families at one small school need? – but the company introduced new prints this year, so Hendrickson’s giving it another go.

Not all schools have found success with alternative products, however. Potter Road Elementary School in Framingham, Mass., tried selling organic goodies and items made from recycled materials through a company called Greenraising. Nancy Novo O’Connor, co-president of the parent-teacher organization, said Greenraising was a great vendor to work with, but the organic products “did not raise nearly as much money” as the traditional sale of chocolates and wrapping paper, so they went back to a previous vendor.

president of the Sleepy Hollow PTA in Falls Church, Va., said with both parents working in so many families, people just don’t have time “to go out and get their kids to sell things. And schools can’t get the volunteers to sit there and sort the wrapping paper and candy when it comes in.”

Another reason to drop catalog sales is that schools only keep a portion of what they sell – 42 percent on average, according to the Association of Fund-Raising Distributors and Suppliers. A letter to Sleepy Hollow parents explaining the switch noted that “the exciting part of this fundraising program is that 100 percent of your donation goes to support PTA programs (not 50 percent, as before) and it is tax deductible!”

But there’s one line of products Oleson hopes schools keep selling: mugs, T-shirts, bags and trivets bearing images of kids’ artwork.

“I like that because it has sentimental value,” Oleson said. “They do it right before Mother’s Day, and the kids can feel proud of it.”

Direct donations

Online platforms

Some schools have done away with catalog sales altogether, instead asking parents to make direct donations. Alison Oleson, former

Some parent organizations now accept donations online. But that involves third-party sites that charge fees to process the funds,

which raises the question: If supporters can click on a link in an email to donate by credit card, will more people give because it’s easier than writing a check? Or will the fees hurt the bottom line?

Michael Nilsen, spokesman for the Association of Fundraising Professionals, says there’s no clear answer, but the best approach is probably “a mix,” such as a letter physically sent home with an option to mail back, followed by an email reminder with an online payment option. He added that because online sites charge different fees for various services, the right one depends on the group’s needs.

For example, PayPal takes a 2.2 percentage fee for donations to registered charities, plus a 30-cent transaction fee, so if a parent donates $100, the PTA gets $97.50. Razoo.com charges 4.9 percent, so the PTA only gets $95.10 from $100, but Razoo also provides easily customized websites, social media integration, video thank-yous and email confirmations for tax-deductible donations.

Melissa Panszi-Riebe, former PTA president of Burroughs Community School in Minneapolis, said Razoo helped the school raise $90,000 by making it easy for the 800 kids to

Many schools host tried-and-true fundraising events throughout the year – bake sales and raffles any time there’s a crowd in school, whether for Election Day, concerts or parent-teacher night. Other events are more labor intensive: Carnivals require volunteers to run games and activities. Auctions need committees to solicit donations, track bids and arrange delivery and payment.

In San Francisco, the Alvarado Elementary School’s annual scavenger hunt has a high-tech spin: Teams get lists of clues, then use cellphones to photograph answers as they scour their neighborhoods. Teams pay to participate but most money raised comes from corporate sponsors making donations in exchange for having their names attached to the event.

Beth Sperber has organized a variety of fundraisers for the three Manhattan public schools her son has attended – everything from sales of donated used books and CDs, to bake sales and talent shows, to sales of “spirit wear” – bags, hoodies, T-shirts and other apparel bearing the school name. She’s also hosted jewelry sales in her home where designers come in person to offer unique items, priced $20 to $200, then give the school 35 percent or more of their sales.

Judy Antell of Brooklyn, N.Y., has hosted three or four “house parties” for the high school her three daughters attended. Since parents of teens spend very little time at kids’ schools, the parties were conceived partly as a way for parents to socialize. Tickets were $25 to $50, with parties hosted in neighborhoods around the city on different nights.

Lorraine Esposito helps organize an annual “Night of Rock” event to fund a teen center in Scarsdale, N.Y. A number of parents there happen to work in the entertainment industry and put on a first-class show at a local bar with a stage. Esposito says it’s important to find a theme that’s a good fit, whether it’s a 4H-style fair in a rural area or a ski night in a mountain town.

And as with most fundraisers, Esposito said, the money raised is only part of it: “It’s really about building community.”

FAMILY TIME | Helping moms get finances on track

Tip of the week Being a mom is a full-time job. No matter how old the children are, a mom is on call at all hours of the day and night, responding to injuries and broken hearts, handling homework questions, setting household rules, and establishing consequences if said rules are broken. But moms often have other jobs as well, juggling household chores, managing finances and often holding a full-time job.

Unfortunately, when the workload becomes too much, something can fall by the wayside, and often that something is finances. Only 24 percent

of moms report they are satisfied with their current financial situation. They admit they are struggling to make ends meet, or are worried about their financial future, according to the State of the American Mom Study released

by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company in 2013.

Moms can get their finances on track with a few tips from MassMutual: • Be prepared – If you have an emergency fund, you can protect yourself and your future plans for your family if you find yourself in a troubling financial situation.

• Protect your income – Families often don’t take into account the salary a stay-at-home mom would earn if she were to be paid for the work she does.

If something were to happen to you as a stay-at-home mom, preventing you from doing these duties, your family may experience some troubling outof-pocket expenses. With the help of a financial professional, you can explore financial options to ensure that you’re planning ahead adequately no matter

8PRAIRIE FLOWERS Thanks for supporting Egyptian Theatre

Fourth of July celebration was extremely enjoyable

Dear Editor: On behalf of the staff and Board of Directors of the Egyptian Theatre, I would like to thank our volunteers, patrons, donors, sponsors, community organizations and the city of DeKalb for another outstanding season at the theater. You make the Egyptian Theatre a regional center for performing arts and preserve a historic jewel!

This past year, we welcomed more than 25,000 people for more than 100 performances, public events, film showings, weddings, tours and Amenti Haunted House nights. We are pleased to have worked with a number of community groups and organizations who utilized the theater, including: Northern Illinois University, the city of DeKalb, the American Heart Association, the Beth Fowler School of Dance, Celebrate Downtown DeKalb, the Daily Chronicle, the DeKalb Catholic Daughters of the Americas, the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce, the DeKalb Education Foundation, the DeKalb County League of Women Voters, the DeKalb Public Library, DeKalb School District 428, Fitworkz, FunMe Events, the Illinois Lincoln Highway Association, the Kishwaukee Symphony Orchestra, North Central Cyclery, ReNew DeKalb, the Sycamore/Rochelle Performing Arts Academy, Thrivent Financial and Gavin Wilson.

In addition to local events and partnerships, our 2012-2013 theater season included performances by national touring acts. The duo Switchback, the U.S. Air Force Concert Band, the Irish band Gaelic Storm, comedian Lewis Black, pop stars Aaron Carter, Ryan Cabrera, Teddy Geiger and Tyler Hilton, the Glenn Miller Orchestra, rockers Survivor and John Waite graced our stage and delighted audiences. With the support of the community, we plan to present more concerts and performances by well-known performers in the year ahead.

Events like these would not be possible without our dedicated, hard-working volunteers! We have a small staff of four, including our new membership and marketing director.

We’re grateful to the 250-plus volunteers who contributed more than 5,000 hours of service this year. We couldn’t meet the needs of our performers and patrons without them serving as ticket takers, ushers, and concession stand workers! We are honored to have wonderful volunteers from the high schools, Kishwaukee College, Northern Illinois University, and the greater community.

We again want to thank the city of DeKalb and the community for helping to maintain and preserve our historic theater! We appreciate your support, generosity and attendance throughout the year and look forward to seeing you when our next season starts in September. You are the stars of the show! Thank you!

To the Editor: I am writing this letter to thank the DeKalb Municipal Band, DeKalb Park District and DeKalb Police Department for one of the most enjoyable July 4 celebrations that my family has ever attended. Being from Arizona, I was surprised when a friend we were visiting in Sycamore suggested we attend the concert in the park. A bit apprehensive we decided to go and we were so happy that we did.

The musicians, vocalists and conductor were unbelieveably talented, and the music selections that they played were absolutely enchanting to listen to. The energy level that they conveyed throughout their performance was in comparison to none that we have ever seen.

If there was a CD for sale, we would have definitely bought one. The conductor was fabulous to watch, and surprised us when he played his trombone at the end of the song, “Stars and Stripes,” without missing a beat!

Our family has attended Fourth of July symphony concerts in New York, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Minneapolis where we had to pay to enjoy the event, and this concert by far was just as good as those and it was free!

The DeKalb Park Distrcit and Police Department should also be commended at how they made the event with so many people run smoothly and with a sense of safety to the public.

I just wanted to let the people of the DeKalb/ Sycamore area know, just how lucky they are to live amongst these jewels in the community.

And if we are ever in the area again for the Fourth of July, we know where we are going to enjoy the holiday.

Fond memories of Wurlitzer To the Editor: Do you have a Wurlitzer piano or organ? Did you ever hear the Mighty Wurlitzer playing in Wurlitzer Hall? Are Wurlitzer jukeboxes a memory from your past? A name fast becoming a memory or completely unknown was once an important dynamic in the history of DeKalb.

In the early 1950s, when I was first employed by this company, my co-workers quickly became my friends. Wurlitzer, as did many companies of this period, encouraged business relationships to extend into personal and family lives, creating a larger “family.” Golf and bowling leagues, family Christmas parties and adult Halloween parties helped provide the binding glue.

In this decade of expansion and growth, our nation added two more states, and job opportunities abounded. While raising my family, I ran the gamut of full-time and part-time stints in purchasing, service and advertising.

Back then, the shrill siren call of Wurlitzer’s

noon whistle, reminiscent of former air-raid test warnings, would settle in haunting sound-waves over the peaceful homes in the area. Many of these homes were still occupied by early Finnish settlers, who helped to fill the growing number of available manufacturing jobs. This need also drew from the southern migration.

Now when I see the flags of the many nations at Olympic games or world conferences, I am reminded of the different flags which, in later years, flew over the company’s corporate headquarters, a five-building complex. As the buyer, I had been asked to purchase the national flag of each country for every visiting dignitary.

Eventually this “family” was broken, and dispersed. The old factory on Pleasant Street closed and is now falling down, and the corporate complex on Gurler Road has been divided and broken. Yes, there is still a connection.

As many cling to relationships and memories, former employees have gathered from all parts of the nation for their “family” reunions, the first, and impressive three-day affair, each subsequently becoming smaller.

Additionally, a small number of this contingent meets each month to laugh, remember, support ... and sometimes to attend a funeral for one of its members. When I come to a restaurant, requesting seating for our group, I find many who do not recognize the name Wurlitzer. No recollection of the quality instruments produced at the once bustling factory, nor of grand Wurlitzer Hall before which flew the flags of many nations. The sands of time shift and erase.

S. African winemaker preps for growing season Adam Mason has been pruning since June.

The Mulderbosch winemaker can prove it with the South African dirt under his fingernails. With June, July and August being the winter months in the Southern Hemisphere, Mason hopes for rain and prunes. He also just finished an olive harvest two weeks ago. He leads the team to prepare wires, drip lines and graft vines where necessary. There’s bottling and blending in the winery.

It’s a busy time.

While U.S. winemakers are prepping bird nets to protect their fruit, Mason is busy getting every possible detail set in the vineyard to maximize the potential of a successful growing season.

Winemaker spotlight A walk through the Mulderbosch vineyard is like an interview for Adam Mason.

As he scours the vineyards, which are part of the Biodiversity and Wine Initiative, he’s immersed in a landscape filled with native birds, animals and insects.

It’s a process of getting to know the vines, the land and everything that will eventually lead to harvest.

“When you see the vineyard pruned, it tells a story that’s the vine with no leaves, the skeleton basically,” Mason said. “You can see which vines are weak, which

shoots are the ones to keep and which are in the best position. That gives me an understanding of the vineyard. I see where the vigor is or if there’s disease. Time in the field gives me an understanding about the behavior of the plant.

“It’s really all about vigor.

A vigorous plant will produce a certain quality of fruit. This all leads up to the big harvest day. By the time the grapes arrive in the winery I want to know exactly what to expect from them. That’s my ambition. It’s what drives us.”

In his second year at Mulderbosch, with vineyards that have a unique topography, surrounded by the Indian and Atlantic oceans for a strong Maritime influence, high altitude vineyards and a Mediterranean climate, Mason has developed a focus on balanced wines.

With a resume that includes the numerous co-ops in Southern France in tiny appellations, Mason has loads of worldly experience that has brought him to the conclusion that wine is a contributor to a regions’ greater culture. He favors nuanced and balanced wine rather that the “show stoppers” that electrify critics, but are often unobtain-

“Maybe due to more travel globally, the wine industry is more open than it’s ever been,” Mason said. “Young people travel the world, discover new cultures, eat their food and drink their wine. For them the wine is not the end product, it’s the knowledge of culture and wine forms a part of that. When it forms a piece of a much bigger picture naturally it must be balanced or there’s no place for it. For me, wine is all about restoring ... you’ve got to feel invigorated and revived after a glass, not heavy and sleepy.”
