COUNTY HOME TO THREE COMMUNITY BANDS

Metra will search for Collins’ replacement

By DON BABWIN The Associated Press CHICAGO – A former federal prosecutor has backed out of a job investigating allegations that one of the state’s most powerful politicians and others pressured Metra staff in hiring and contract decisions, the commuter rail agency said Monday.

In a news release, Metra said it would search for someone else after Patrick Collins, a former assistant U.S. attorney, informed the agency he wanted to withdraw from consideration for the job, which he previously agreed to take. The Metra board canceled a Monday meeting during which it was expected to approve Collins’ hiring.

Collins, who led a team of prosecutors that won a 2006 conviction of former Gov. George Ryan in a corruption case, cited a potential conflict of interest at the law firm where he is a partner.

Metra said in the release that it is “fully committed to moving the organization forward and restoring public confidence” and would move quickly to find a replacement.

“I remain committed to interviewing other lawyers with outstanding reputations and investigative skills, and to once again ask the board for its approval,” Metra board Chairman Brad O’Halloran said in the release.

An initial investigation by the law firm, Perkins Coie, found there were no potential problems with his involvement in the case, but Collins said a subsequent one revealed “conflict issues” that made it impossible for him to take the job. He declined to elaborate.

Collins did not immediately return a call for comment Monday from The Associated Press.

His office said he was unavailable.

Golden delicious rocks the world again Did you know that on July 15, 2013, 49 earthquakes took place around the world? Most were insignificant, like the 3.9 quake near Cape Yakataga, Alaska. Or the 4.5 one in the vicinity of Lambasa, Fiji. Not to mention the 4.4 shaker just southeast of Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland.

But on this past July 15, there was another earthshaking event, but this incident had nothing to do with tectonic plates or seismometers or Richter scales. Nope, this momentous occurrence involved yellow sponge cake, cream filling and polysorbate 60.

Yep, I am talking about the resurrection of the renowned Twinkie. After about eight months of life without the Hostess icon, suddenly the world is spinning sweetly on its axis again.

Sure, we survived without it, but, you must admit, with the Twinkie Kid back in business, life seems a bit more creamier and golden delicious.

Sure, there are some negatives that may pop up. For example, the stock market has experienced what financial experts call the “Twinkie Effect” as rival snack companies brace themselves for losses, but it’s their

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava own fault for trying to duplicate classic creamy perfection. Then again, the sorbic acid and sodium stearoyl lactylate folks are drooling over their sweetened revenue growth rates.

Another possible downside of the revival of the Twinkie is that it seems they are a bit smaller than their monoglyceride and diglyceride ancestors. Reports indicate the new Twinkie has slimmed down 4 grams and has lost 15 calories. But rather than be a drawback, this just goes to show that the new Hostess is right in step with our health-conscious society. This actually gives hope to those of us on diets. After all, if a Twinkie can lose weight, anyone can, right?

Oh, there’s another plus to the redesigned Twinkie. It appears there’s been some secret ingredient or process added to actually prolong their shelf life. The old yellow cake lasted only 26 days. But there’s no need to

quickly scarf down these beauties anymore because we now have 45 … that’s an extra 19 cream-filled days of appetizing anticipation. But, I ask you, how can one even put an expiration date on that rich, velvety essence?

The price of Twinkies remains the same at $3.99 for a box of 10. That’s a lot better than after the Twinkiepocolapse last November when eBay’s starting bid price was $500 for an unopened box. Of course, if you were around in 1933 when they were first introduced, you could nab a package of two for only a nickel.

Speaking of 1933, the appearance of Twinkies coincided exactly with the beginning of the recovery from the Great Depression. Thus, we have positive proof that Twinkies not only taste good, but they can also save the economy. Who knows, generations from now historians could be writing about the “unexplainable longterm effects of the reintroduction of Twinkies upon traditional 21st-century societal institutions.” Maybe there will even be a link between the second coming of the Twinkie and the end of

the Great Depression for Cubs fans.

I can hear their manager now … ”I think the big difference was effective relief pitching, timely hitting and cream filling.”

Last July 15, you didn’t have to be walking near Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland, to experience an earthshaking event. All you had to do was stop by your favorite food store and head down to the corner of Welcome Back and We Missed You. There you could find a boxful of mouthwatering miracles that would set your taste buds a-quaking.

So, good to see you again, my little golden friend. Hostess calls it, “The sweetest comeback in the history of ever.” I call it a 9.5 on the Fructose scale, baby.

• Michael Penkava is a retired teacher who taught for 35 years at West Elementary School in Crystal Lake. He said he felt the earth move when he bought his box of new Twinkies, but it was just an elderly woman rear-ending him with her shopping cart. He can be reached at mikepenkava@comcast.net.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON – It’s a boy!

Prince William’s wife, Kate, has given birth to a prince who is now third in line to the British throne.

The child was born Monday afternoon, after many Britons woke up to the news that Kate, also known as the Duchess of Cambridge, had gone into labor with the couple’s first child.

The royal birth announcement said the boy was born at 4:24 p.m. weighing 8 pounds, 6 ounces. William was present for the birth, the statement

Count On Me...

said. The announcement did not include a name for the future monarch, though one is expected to be revealed in the coming days.

“Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well and will remain in hospital overnight,” it said. William also issued a brief statement, saying “we could not be happier.”

Cries of joy erupted from the waiting crowd amassed near Buckingham Palace as the news came through, and hundreds of onlookers – some of whom had camped outside for hours – crushed against

the palace’s fences to catch a glimpse of the bulletin formally announcing the birth placed outside the palace’s forecourt.

“It’s a crazy atmosphere, everyone is getting very excited,” said Andrew Aitchison, 47, outside the palace. “It’s great to be part of history, to say we were here and saw it all happen.”

William’s father, Charles, and his wife, Camilla, spoke of their joy and pride in becoming grandparents for the first time.

“It is an incredibly special moment for William and Catherine and we are so thrilled for

them on the birth of their baby boy,” Prince Charles said in a statement. “Grandparenthood is a unique moment in anyone’s life, as countless kind people have told me in recent months, so I am enormously proud and happy to be a grandfather for the first time and we are eagerly looking forward to seeing the baby in the near future.”

It could be some time before the baby’s name is made public. When William was born, a week passed before his name was announced. Charles’s name remained a mystery for an entire month.

President Obama rallies faithful ahead of Aug. recess The ASSOCIATED PRESS

AP photo

Pope Francis waves Monday from his popemobile as he makes his way into central Rio de Janeiro. The pontiff arrived for a seven-day visit in Brazil, the world’s most populous Roman Catholic nation.

Frenzied crowds greet Pope Francis in Brazil The ASSOCIATED PRESS RIO DE JANEIRO – Frenzied crowds of Roman Catholics mobbed the car carrying Pope Francis on Monday when he returned to his home continent for the first time as pontiff, embarking on a seven-day visit meant to fan the fervor of the faithful around the globe.

During the pope’s first minutes in Brazil, ecstatic believers swarmed around the closed Fiat several times when it was forced to stop by heavy traffic on the drive from the airport to an official opening ceremony in Rio’s center. A few security guards struggled mightily to push the crowd back in scenes that at times looked alarming. A city official told Globo TV that the pope’s driver turned into the wrong side of a boulevard and missed lanes that had been cleared.

Francis looked calm during the frenzy. He rolled down the window on the back passenger-side of the car where he was sitting, waving to the crowd and touching those who reached inside.

At one point, a woman handed the pontiff a dark-haired baby, whom he kissed before handing it back.

After finally making it past crowds and blocked traffic,

Francis switched to an openair popemobile as he toured around the main streets in downtown Rio through mobs of people who screamed wildly as he waved and smiled. Many in the crowd looked stunned, with some standing still and others sobbing loudly.

Idaclea Rangel, a 73-yearold Catholic, was pressed up against a wall and choking out words through her tears.

“I can’t travel to Rome, but he came here to make my country better ... and to deepen our faith,” she said.

At the airport earlier, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff vigorously shook Francis’ hand after he descended the stairs following a no-frills charter flight that arrived about 4 p.m. He made no public statements. The pope was handed two bouquets of white and yellow flowers by two adolescent girls, each of whom he kissed on the cheek.

Reaching the end of the red carpet full of church leaders and other dignitaries, Francis and the Brazilian president paused to be serenaded by a choir of about three dozen young people singing an anthem linked to World Youth Day, an event uniting hundreds of thousands of young faithful from around the globe.

Before singing, the kids

robustly yelled soccer-like chants in the pope’s honor.

Outside the Guanabara government palace in Rio where the pope was being officially welcomed, Alicia Velazquez, a 55-year-old arts teacher from Buenos Aires, waited to catch a glimpse of the man she knew well when he was archbishop of her hometown.

“It was so amazing when he was selected, we just couldn’t believe it, we cried and hugged one another,” Velazquez said. “I personally want to see if he’s still the same man as simple and humble whom we all knew. I have faith that he’s remained the same.”

It was the first time the Argentine-born Francis returned to his home continent since his selection as pope in March.

During his stay, the 76-year-old pope will meet with legions of young Catholics converging for the church’s World Youth Festival in Rio. More than 1 million people are expected to pack the white sands of Copacabana for ceremonies presided over by Francis. He will also visit a tiny chapel in a trash-strewn slum and make a side trip to venerate Brazil’s patron saint, Our Lady of Aparecida.

8BRIEFS Quinn signs Medicaid expansion into law CHICAGO – Illinois became the latest state Monday to implement a central part of President Barack Obama’s health care law by expanding Medicaid to cover low-income adults who don’t have children at home.

Gov. Pat Quinn signed the state legislation into law, which will allow an estimated 342,000 Illinois residents to enroll by 2017.

“Some would call it Obamacare. I call it ‘I Do Care,’” said Quinn, surrounded by health care advocates at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

“It’s not a privilege to have decent health care; it’s a fundamental right.”

About half of U.S. states are moving forward on expanding the health care program for the poor and disabled, which is a provision in the Affordable Care Act approved in 2010. Last summer, a U.S. Supreme Court decision made it optional for states to take it up. More than a dozen Republican-led states have opted out.

Daley: Quinn should hold talks on pensions CHICAGO – Former White House chief of staff Bill Daley is calling on Gov. Pat Quinn to bring the state’s legislative leaders together for around-theclock talks to resolve the state’s $97 billion pension shortfall.

Foul odor leads Ohio authorities to grisly find EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio – Authorities responding to a report of a foul odor from a home ultimately discovered three bodies and arrested a registered sex offender who sent police and volunteers through a poor Ohio neighborhood in a search for more victims Sunday, officials said.

East Cleveland Police Chief Ralph Spotts had cautioned searchers to be prepared to find one or two more victims.

But after a daylong search that included 40 abandoned houses and other areas, no more bodies were found.

Spotts identified the suspect as 35-year-old Michael Madison.

He said Madison is expected to be formally charged Monday, but did not elaborate.

Mayor Gary Norton said the suspect has indicated he might have been influenced by Cleveland serial killer Anthony Sowell, who was convicted in

Quake in arid northwest China kills at least 75 BEIJING – A strong earthquake that shook an arid, hilly farming area in northwest China sparked landslides and destroyed or damaged thousands of brickand-mud homes Monday, killing at least 75 people and injuring more than 400, the government said.

The quake near the city of Dingxi in Gansu province toppled brick walls and telephone lines, shattered mud-andtile-roofed houses and sent cascades of dirt and rock down hillsides that blocked roads and slowed rescue efforts by crews trying to reach remote areas.

Hospitals set up aid stations in parking lots to accommodate large numbers of injured, while hundreds of paramilitary People’s Armed Police fanned out to search for victims in the region of terraced farmland where the quake struck about 760 miles west of Beijing.

“I saw the bulb hanging from the ceiling start swinging wildly around. I woke my two friends and we ran into the bathroom to hide,” said arts student Li Jingui, 21, who was on the fourth floor of a school dormitory in Dingxi when the shaking started.

“After the strongest tremors were over, we were worried that there would be aftershocks so we packed our stuff and ran out into a large clearing,” Li said in a telephone interview.

WASHINGTON – His second-term agenda on the line, President Barack Obama urged his most ardent supporters Monday to mount a summertime show of support that can rival any opposition Obama and Democrats may face from constituents next month. “We’ve got to get folks activated and involved,” Obama declared.

Joined by top Democratic leaders, Obama addressed a nonprofit group formed expressly to push his agenda, imploring its volunteers and donors not to let up the pressure in his waning years in office. Alluding to his own limitations despite being re-elected, he acknowledged “things still get stuck here in Washington” even when he delivers on his end.

“Naturally it’s not going to be as full of razzmatazz as a campaign. First of all, we don’t have a billion dollars to spend,” Obama said. “None-

theless, in some ways this stuff is more important.”

But even with his last election behind him, the event had a campaign feel as Obama stood before about 300 supporters of Organizing for Action, a group formed from the remnants of the president’s 2012 campaign with the goal of building public support for his second-term priorities.

In barely a week, lawmakers will fan out across the country, returning to their home districts for the annual summer break. At town hall meetings and picnics and public events, they’ll hear firsthand from constituents – most of whom, polls show, have had it with Washington and incessant partisan fighting.

With a tough path ahead for Obama’s major goals – including an immigration overhaul, the economy and the rollout of his health care law – his supporters want to ensure that lawmakers of both parties return to Washington

with a mandate to work with Obama. So, OFA, with a presidential assist, is seeking to get activists energized and ready to speak up.

The top Democrat in the House, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California, called OFA’s supporters “ambassadors who will reach out to the public to make sure they understand what is at stake.”

“Nothing is more eloquent to a member of Congress than the voice of his or her own constituent,” Pelosi said.

And Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., whose efforts to enact Obama’s priorities have run up against opposition from the Republican minority, vowed not to let up the fight either. He poked a bit of fun at his GOP counterpart, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who is expecting to face a primary challenge in his own re-election next year.

“He tried to make love to the tea party – and they didn’t like it,” Reid said.

Metra released Collins’ Design plan sent to Village Board email about his decision • HOSPITAL Continued from page A1

• PROBE Continued from page A1 Metra said it was considering hiring Collins after former Metra CEO Alex Clifford, who received a lucrative buyout, alleged during a hearing last week that he was forced out of the agency for resisting pressure from House Speaker Michael Madigan and others over jobs and construction contracts.

Madigan has said that he asked senior staff at Metra to consider a pay raise for an associate who was employed there but withdrew the recommendation after Clifford expressed discomfort with it.

Clifford said Madigan and a

member of the Legislature’s Latino caucus made inappropriate requests for hiring favors. A Madigan spokesman says the speaker did nothing improper and has no record of making a job request.

Madigan last week wrote a letter to the state’s Legislative Ethics Commission inviting it to investigate his involvement in the Metra dealings described by Clifford, saying he doesn’t believe his actions violated any law or ethical rule. He said he would cooperate with the investigation.

In the statement announcing Collins’ withdrawal, Metra released an email from Collins that informed the agency of his decision.

Teacher often sees students become city band members • MUSIC Continued from page A1 The bands are made up of a variety of people, music instructors, band directors, retirees, students and those not in the music field at all.

A return to music With the kids grown up a bit and the time normally committed to Boy Scouts and soccer opened up, Jeff Martin of Cary decided he was going to take some time to himself.

He decided to join the Crystal Lake Community Band.

“I like the camaraderie of my fellow musicians,” Martin said. “There is still the love of music. I like to perform.”

Martin had played the alto saxophone regularly from fourth grade through high school when he played in his hometown’s community band – he’s from a small town in Iowa called Fort Madison – through his years on the University of Iowa Hawkeye Marching Band. After that, he played once a year on homecoming weekend back in Iowa City.

“I kind of got rusty over the next 20 years,” said Martin, who is a self-employed computer consultant living in Cary with his wife, Beth.

Their two sons, Andy and Joey, are both grown.

It took Martin about six months to get “back to [his] old college playing shape,” rebuilding his embouchure, breathing and technique.

Nine years later he’s still playing, and he serves on the band’s board and as its treasurer.

“We’re a very diverse group,” he said. “We come from all walks of life and all different abilities, from novice players all the way through to professionals, semi-professional. We’ve had band directors that actually are playing.

The thing I think that’s nice about our band, the one thing we all have in common is we love playing music.”

Carrying on the tradition Russ Henning of McHenry likes that he’s preparing the next generation of the Woodstock City Band – at least the horns sections.

“The Woodstock City Band has been around since 1885,” Henning said. “This is the 129th season. Now, I haven’t been there that whole time.

That’s what, five or six generations? There’s music on the Square every summer since 1885. There’s been no gaps.”

Henning, who has played with the band for 13 years, plus a few years before that as a substitute, loves that continuity.

“The whole bit about me being in this group that is older than my great-grandparents is just cool,” he said. “I really enjoy that. ... I’m assuming it’s like playing for the Cubs, for example. It’s that long line.

It’s probably the same in the Army.”

After 20-plus years in the corporate world of market research, Henning found his way back to music, working for two music companies and eventually shifting over to

teaching music lessons full time.

He has about 50 students during the school year and is the horn instructor at McHenry County College. He also is one of the founders of the Cor Corps, a group of about 20 French horn players.

“I love teaching,” Henning said. “It’s what I was meant to do. The kids keep me young, for one thing. I’ll be 55 next month, but when you’re hanging around a bunch of 16-, 17and 18-year-olds, I get to keep up on what the hardware is that they’re playing with. I hear their language, not that I try to talk like an 18-year-old, but it keeps me fluent.”

Over the years, he’s converted several students into Woodstock City Band members.

“It’s a way for me to bring in the next generation,” Henning said.

The road almost taken John Cummings of Cary has been playing the trombone for 68 years, 54 of them with the McHenry City Band.

Cummings doesn’t know what it was about the trombone that drew him to it – maybe its mellow tone – but when he heard the trombone player in his older brother’s band play it, he decided that was the instrument for him.

He taught himself on a brand-new instrument that he bought from Lions Band Instruments in Chicago for about $75, which he earned stocking groceries at Cary’s Dianis grocery store and on a nearby farm.

“That was my only big investment,” Cummings said.

“That was a lot of money then. ... It was fine, but it was the cheapest of the line.”

He played the instrument throughout high school, earning first place in the state solo competitions and a spot on the all-state band, despite not having an instructor.

Cummings spent four years as a Navy musician, training at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center north of Chicago, and was assigned to a few different ships.

He received a couple of offers to go on the road as a musician, and eventually he was talked out of it.

“They lived for the next bottle of booze, the next girl, the next town, and they’re on buses all the time,” Cummings said. “It’s just not a life for me, but I was going to do that.”

He knew he didn’t want to be a teacher, so when he was discharged from the Navy in 1956, he went to the University of Illinois on the GI Bill to study design engineering, which he did until he retired in 1995.

The McHenry City Band, which was a concert band at the time, got him back into playing, and he stayed. Now at age 80, he’s the longest-serving member currently playing in the band.

“I’ve played a lot of places in my life,” Cummings said.

“It’s just a great band. It’s a very, very good band, and it’s a lot of fun because nobody is there to get rich. We do get paid, but it’s just a bunch of great personalities.”

the commission unanimously sent the preliminary design plan to the full Village Board for consideration.

“They are all realistic requests and definitely things we will take seriously as we move through the process,” said Susan Milford, Centegra’s senior vice president of strategy and development.

“We are really excited with the collaboration, and the fact that we continue to move through the planning process successfully.”

The Monday meeting represented the first formal planning step for Centegra in what has already been a lengthy journey to build Centegra’s third McHenry County hospital.

Centegra officials initially approached the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board with the Huntley hospital proposal

in 2010. The board consequently rejected it twice, before reversing course and approving the plan last July without explanation.

The state board’s change of heart drew a court order from a Will County judge last week. The order for a more detailed explanation did not faze Centegra, which remains confident the board’s decision will stand.

The new hospital would be located between the Centegra Health Bridge, which borders Algonquin Road, and the existing ambulatory care mall located within the 107-acre Huntley health campus.

It would feature 100 medical surgical beds, an eightbed intensive care unit, a full service emergency department and a helipad for transporting critical needs patients under the designs officials presented Monday.

The hospital’s exterior would be made of precast panels with various finish-

es and include a stoneface, glass atrium tower at the main entrance.

The project would also create a four-story, 80,000-square-foot medical office building located east of the ambulatory care mall and three new traffic entrances, including a new traffic signal at the main entrance of Haligus and Faiths Way. The new traffic patterns concerned some residents, who feared increased traffic would create problems for homeowners entering and leaving their homes along Faiths Way in a nearby subdivision.

Milford said Centegra will work with the village and other stakeholders on fine-tuning the designs as the planning process develops. Centegra will present a final design plan to the planning commission later in the summer, once the Village Board votes on the preliminary design next month.

8WORLD BRIEF Iraq prison raids free hundreds of inmates BAGHDAD – Iraqi security forces locked down areas around the infamous Abu Ghraib prison and another high-security detention facility on Baghdad’s outskirts Monday to hunt for escaped inmates and militants after daring insurgent assaults set hundreds of detainees free.

The carefully orchestrated late-night attacks killed dozens Sunday, including at least 25 members of the Iraqi security forces. Insurgents fired dozens of mortar shells and detonated suicide and car bombs, drawing Iraqi forces into firefights that lasted more than an hour.

Attacks elsewhere claimed at least 18 more lives on Monday, many of them soldiers, highlighting the rapidly deteriorating security conditions across Iraq.

Time off good for all Employers and employees benefit when workers take advantage of their vacation time.

Unfortunately, many people do not take time away from work – either because they are too concerned about leaving their post for an extended period, or because vacation time is not offered to them through their employer.

A 2012 survey by the online travel site Expedia.com found that American workers received an average of 12 paid vacation days each year, but used only 10 of them.

Taking time away from the office is good for workers, even the most essential. It allows them to recharge, to reflect on aspects of their life without work, and often helps them return to work with a fresh perspective and a renewed motivation – at least, after the shock of returning to their workaday routine has worn off.

It benefits employers as well. At some businesses – banks, for example – employees are required to take at least an entire week off at a time. This mandate is strictly in the interest of self-preservation of the institution, as it often foils any system an employee might have for breaking the rules with money.

In fact, that is how the massive embezzlement scheme perpetrated by former Dixon city Treasurer and Comptroller Rita Crundwell was discovered. Crundwell was on vacation, and the person filling in for her stumbled upon a secret bank account where she had been diverting public funds for her own use.

Unfortunately, American workers have no vacation time or other time off guaranteed them, putting the U.S. worker last among all the countries of the developed world. Even Japan, whose people are famous for their intense work ethic, requires its workers to have 10 vacation days each year.

Although nothing is guaranteed for American workers, in reality many of us are afforded paid vacation and holidays through our employers. According to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, 74 percent of workers have access to paid vacation time through their employers – a figure that would be higher if teachers’ summer break time were taken into account.

So even if your bank account won’t allow you to jet off to some tropical paradise or take a road trip to see some beautiful part of America other than our own, why not try a “staycation,” where you don’t go to work but spend some time – and money – at local spots you’ve wanted to visit but just haven’t had time?

Vacation time should be afforded all workers. Everyone benefits when workers use the time-off benefits they’ve earned.

Too much data for too long There is growing concern across America about the increasing level of surveillance at all levels of government – from government cameras to government eavesdropping on phone calls.

The American Civil Liberties Union reported last week that police across the country are routinely using automatic camera-scanners to take digital photos of vehicle license data and store it for a period of time.

The privacy issue lies in how this information is used and stored over a period of time.

The challenge here is the wide opportunity to misuse such data by law enforcement or other government agencies. The longer this information is held, the more any government agencies can know about innocent drivers’ whereabouts and their private lives.

Therein lies the danger.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Move along To the Editor: Trayvon Martin was shot by George Zimmerman and died.

Zimmerman claimed that it was in self-defense.

We all know the story. I always have been taught that a person is innocent until proved guilty. I’ve seen it on TV. I’ve heard it on radio, and I have seen it in the newspapers.

Zimmerman has been found not guilty. Innocent. Period.

In November 2012 at a news conference, President Obama was asked a question about Gen. David Petraeus and an affair he was having. His answer: “You are going to have to talk to the FBI. We’re not suppose to meddle in criminal investigations. That has been our practice. People are innocent until proven guilty.”

This is a quote by the president of the United States. Zimmerman has been found and proved to be innocent by a court of law. Why in the world does the president now want another investigation? If he wants to investigate something, why not investigate Mike Madigan and the RTA? Wally Gullang Huntley

A larger issue To the Editor: The George Zimmerman trial has

stirred up angry protests against our legal system.

The legal system is not perfect and needs some reform. However, these protests, viewed in a larger context, do more harm than good.

The protests contribute to the polarization of a black-and-white society, and are a distraction from a more fundamental problem.

This problem is the disintegration of the African-American family and the adverse effect on young African-American males.

I watched the entire trial. The jury made the right decision. If Trayvon Martin felt threatened, he had plenty of time to leave the area. He chose to confront Zimmerman and initiate the physical attack resulting in his death. In Trayvon’s world, violence is an acceptable way to solve a problem.

During the last week of the trial, more than a dozen African-Americans were murdered by AfricanAmerican males in Chicago. This “black-on-black” violence is common in urban settings. Using violence to solve problems is learned early in life. Young children learn most coping skills from their parents.

The lack of positive role models for these African-American children in their early years make them more likely to adopt negative coping skills. If these protesters want to solve the fundamental underlying issue, they will mentor

Martin would be alive today if he chose a more rational response to a perceived threat.

Drainage problem To the Editor: I would like to thank Mike Lesperance, Nunda Township highway commissioner, for the beautiful new drainage ditch in front of my home.

I regret that it does not connect with Lake Michigan because it’s big enough to float my yacht in.

I hope my neighbors don’t mind that it will never get mowed. You see, I’m afraid of heights, and the vertical drop is a bit too much for me.

And neighbors, the corner roadway will still flood. That’s because, as far as I know, no engineering work was done when Lesperance

came up with the idea to combine two drainage easements into one in front of my house. When I asked to see his engineering plans, I was ushered out of his office.

Rather than spend the money to engineer this project and put the water runoff underground, it appears Lesperance would rather shoot from the hip and build a second Suez Canal that does not solve drainage problems, but rather relocates them.

Thanks for helping beautify and upgrading our residential neighborhood, Mike. I think we’ll have bobsled races this in winter.

And finally, I’m most appreciative of how you worked with me, the homeowner, on this project by not returning my phone calls and kicking me out of your office.

I guess I now know why they call you “Iron Mike.” I hope you eventually get the hang of this publicservice thing.

Bill Daley’s past offers target for Quinn campaign attack Gov. Pat Quinn is leading his sole Democratic primary rival, and challenger Bill Daley will have some serious problems with his blue chip résumé, according to a new Capitol Fax/We Ask America poll.

The poll of 1,394 likely Democratic primary voters found Quinn leading Daley by five percentage points, 38-33.

That’s exactly where the two stood in a January poll. A June poll had Daley leading Quinn by a point, 38-37, but since then Quinn has made some popular moves, including vetoing legislative salaries out of the budget and using his veto powers to rewrite the concealedcarry bill.

The most recent poll was taken Wednesday, a day after Attorney General Lisa Madigan shook up the race by announcing her decision not to run for governor. It had a margin of error of plus-minus 2.62 percent.

Cellphones made up 28 percent of those called. Twenty-eight percent of likely primary voters were undecided, suggesting that there

is plenty of room for movement by either man or possibly an opening for someone else to enter the race.

According to the poll, Quinn leads among women by seven points, 38-31, and among men by two points, 40-38. Quinn has a huge 47-27 lead among African-Americans, and a 45-36 lead among Latinos. Daley leads 37-35 with white Democrats.

Daley leads by only a point in the suburban collar counties and by six points downstate. Quinn has a 15-point lead in Chicago and a ninepoint lead in Cook County.

But a question crafted to mimic a campaign attack shows a potentially killer Daley weakness. Daley was the Midwest chairman of JPMorgan Chase, a “too-big-to-fail” bank when it received $25 billion in federal bailout money, according to the CNN Money website. The company also agreed to settle with the federal government on federal mortgage fraud and wrongful foreclosure charges.

Because I wanted to see how Democratic voters would react to a likely campaign attack, the question

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

VIEWS Rich Miller posed to them was neither fair nor balanced. Campaigns do this sort of thing all the time to see where their weaknesses are, so it’s not a radical concept by any means.

Daley has several very big negatives, according to people in both parties who have polled or focus grouped the race. His family’s Chicago legacy is one of Daley’s biggest liabilities and, I’m told, the easiest to understand. His bank’s investment in the hugely controversial Chicago parking meter deal is another big hit. Daley’s lead role in the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement doesn’t play well with labor union members. But after consulting several political pros, some of whom have been, are or may eventually be involved in attacking Daley, I decided to go with a

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

question about JPMorgan Chase.

It is, as I said, not a fair question, but with Quinn undoubtedly planning a brutal populist assault on Daley, it’s probably close to something you’ll eventually see in an ad, although I didn’t include the fact that Daley’s bank bought a fleet of new jets a few weeks after receiving its federal bailout, nor could I use faces and voices of Illinoisans who were wrongly foreclosed upon.

“Would you be more likely, or less likely to vote for a Democratic gubernatorial candidate who ran a major bank that received federal bailout money, foreclosed on large numbers of Illinois homeowners and engaged in predatory subprime mortgage lending?” voters were asked.

Unsurprisingly, that question moved the needle in a big way.

According to the poll, a whopping 73 percent of Democrats were less likely to vote for the candidate.

Results such as those indicate the issue has major traction. Only 16 percent said it didn’t make any

difference, and an additional 11 percent said it made them more likely (possibly a negative reaction to the harsh nature of a question about a fellow party member).

The question proved “devastatingly effective,” pollster Gregg Durham said. The responses “will certainly give Mr. Quinn a political harpoon that could cause significant damage.”

Yes, Quinn has serious problems.

That’s why the incumbent is only receiving the potential votes of 38 percent of his own party members.

The June poll found that a mere 33 percent of Democrats approved of his job performance, for crying out loud.

Incumbents with lousy poll numbers like Quinn have no other choice but to attack, attack, attack.

And Daley will definitely provide a target rich environment for the governor.

HAZMAT CALL IN CL CLOSES 2 ROADS CRYSTAL LAKE – An abnormal chemical reaction inside of a local business Monday led to a hazmat call.

Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Robert Kohley said about 7:30 p.m. Monday employees at John Crane Inc., 29-31 Burdent Drive, saw vinyl toluene inside a drum begin to have “a reaction that wasn’t normal. They got concerned and called for us to come evaluate the situation.”

Numerous departments with hazmat technicians responded to the scene, including Harvard, McHenry Township, Cary, Fox River Grove and Woodstock.

About 10:30 p.m., the situation stabilized. Power was cut off to the building.

The company had its hazmat team come in to help monitor the situation, Kohley said. There were no injuries.

Walkup Road and Route 176 were closed around the area as crews worked.

Franks may face challenge GOP candidate planning to run for 63rd District seat

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com A tax lawyer could present state Rep. Jack Franks with his first GOP election challenger since 2010.

Steven Reick, a Greenwood Township Republican precinct committeeman, said he intends to run in the 63rd House District against the eight-term Democratic representative from Marengo.

Franks, also a lawyer, has repre-

sented the district since January 1999.

Reick, who lives in rural Harvard, said he wants to give voters a choice. The 63rd District covers most of northern and western McHenry County.

“I’m putting together a campaign, and I’m going to make as strong a run at this as I possibly can,” Reick said Monday. “I understand what I’m up against

MARENGO – The Marengo Ridge Golf Club lost 42 trees when strong winds and heavy rainfall rolled through the area Saturday night.

The large number of uprooted trees, located along the club’s back nine, forced staffers to close that portion of the 18-hole course to golfers Sunday. The back nine was reopened Monday, but the cleanup effort is continuing.

Owner Bob Witek estimated the damage could cost the club up to $10,000, but he still is researching potential bidders to replace the damaged trees, some of which date to when the club opened in 1963.

The storms developed quickly Saturday night around 7 p.m., Witek said, rolling through with heavy winds and rainfall that were causing cars in the club’s parking lot to shake.

“You couldn’t see through the windows of the club,” he said.

James Keehan, seen here in his Crystal Lake home Monday, is a retired aviation doctor who makes wooden toys at his home workshop and gives them out for free. Keehan creates a variety of toys, including (top) airplanes, trucks, tractors and rocking horses. “I like to see the expression on their face, that is what I do it for,” Keehan said.

Crystal Lake resident builds smiles with wooden wonders Story by JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com Photos by LATHAN GOUMAS lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Whether it was making house calls to his patients or serving as a flight surgeon in the Air Force, Dr. James Keehan has always had a giving spirit.

And as he prepares to turn 93 years old Monday, the Crystal Lake resident still finds ways to keep that spirit alive and well. The man known by many Crystal Lake residents as “Papa Doc” can be found on any given day at Jewel-Osco or Joseph’s Marketplace handing out homemade wooden toys.

His passion of more than 50 years – 10 of which have been spent in Crystal Lake – has resulted in thousands of toys, such as rabbits, rocking chairs, cars and planes, and just as many smiles.

“I like to see kids happy and I enjoy making toys, so it sort of just happened,” Keehan said of the in-

spiration for his hobby. “Kids accept whatever you give them, but it’s always interesting to see what they choose.”

Keehan spends most of his days in his massive basement workshop surrounded by more than 250 hammers hanging from the walls and piles of wood destined to become an aircraft carrier, a train or any of Keehan’s seemingly endless ideas.

As the aches and pains of growing older set in and arthritis worsens, Keehan is no longer able to create the detailed furniture he once produced, but he still manages

Storytellers to perform in Lake in the Hills

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com People with folk tales from around the world will share them month.

The Algonquin Area Public Library District, along with the parks and recreation staffs for Lake in the Hills and Algonquin, will host a storytelling festival Aug. 6.

It will feature six storytellers who will perform 20 to 30 minutes each. The library district hopes to make the festival an annual event.

The event will include storytellers Darlene Neumann of Beach Park, Paddy Lynn

To attend The storytelling festival is scheduled for 10 a.m to 1 p.m.

Aug. 6 at Larsen Park, 1211 Pyott Road in Lake in the Hills. of Mundelein, Vlada Bernhardtz of Glenview, Jennifer Kaap of Elgin, A. Denise Farrugia, a youth library services manager and a member of the Lincoln Story League, and Silvia Kraft-Walker of Plum Crazy Puppets.

In between the storyteller performances, the A La Carte quartet of the Choral-Aires Chorus will provide musical interludes.

The district has wanted to put on a storytelling festival for several years, said Alexa Newman, a youth services librarian who helped organize the event.

Newman said this event will be different from story time that traditionally takes place in libraries.

“These are storytellers,” Newman said. “These are prepared stories that they’ve honed and worked on and put their own spin on.”

Each storyteller has his or her own style and voice, and some are more animated than others, Newman said.

“It’s a wide spectrum of what can be expected from

these storytellers,” Newman said.

The event is free and open to children and adults. There will be stories geared toward children, but they will be stories adults can enjoy, Newman said.

Newman said storytelling in general is important.

“Oral tradition is the oldest tradition of carrying on knowledge and stories,” Newman said. “We had storytellers before we had written language. It’s a way for people to share and participate. It’s a more active form of entertainment than watching TV or going to a movie.”

PRAIRIE GROVE – The District 46 school board plans to issue clearer agendas and go through more training, the board’s president said.

Board President Margaret Ponga, who took office after the April election, apologized for any Open Meetings Act violations that may have occurred, adding that if any were made, she didn’t think it was intentional.

“I believe in learning lessons from our forebearers and not making mistakes because we’ve learned from them,” she said.

The board is looking into getting additional training provided by the Public Access Counselor – the branch of the Attorney General’s Office charged with reviewing disputes over open meetings and records requests, she said.

The school board already has received Open Meetings Act and Freedom of Information Act training through the Illinois Association of School Lynette Boards.

Zimmer The school District 46 b o a r d a l s o superintendent plans on being more specific about why it’s going into closed session and putting more information on its agendas about the reason whenever possible, Ponga said. The minutes also will have more and better descriptions of what was talked about.

The move followed a Northwest Herald article detailing possible violations made by the school board from Nov. 13 through April 23. Minutes for six of the nine closed-door sessions held during that time were released in June.

The minutes indicated the board discussed changes in the junior high’s master schedule in light of declining enrollment and teacher retirements, and the reorganization of district positions, such as the curriculum assessment and learning coordinator.

Those should have been public policy decisions, Don Craven, an attorney for the Illinois Press Association said at the time.

Superintendent Lynette Zimmer disagreed, saying in an email that they fell under the employment exemption of the Open Meetings Act. The minutes also were reviewed by the district’s attorney before being released, and no questions or concerns were raised, she said.

The Northwest Herald requested a review to find out whether any violations occurred, but the 60-day time

WOODSTOCK: STAR PROGRAM

CRYSTAL LAKE: DOLE MANSION AND ARTS PARK

Centegra Health System First Friday Art Show launches cancer program to feature tattoo art NORTHWEST HERALD WOODSTOCK – On Saturday at the Gavers Barndance, Centegra Health System announced the launch of the Centegra Survivorship Training and Rehabilitation program, made possible by a gift from the Gavers Community Cancer Foundation.

The Centegra STAR Program will begin in August, according to a news release. It will offer patients emotional and supportive care.

Program patients will receive individualized, comprehensive cancer rehabilitation treatment to improve symp-

toms such as fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, joint stiffness, limb swelling (lymphedema), weakness, memory problems, balance and issues with talking or swallowing. This program may be implemented before, during and after direct cancer treatments.

Coordinated rehabilitation will be provided by physicians, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, registered dietitians and mental health, financial, social and pastoral care professionals.

Reick to run on pension reform • CHALLENGE Continued from page B1 with a guy who’s as popular in the district as Jack is, but people need a choice, and I intend to give it to them.”

Franks took advantage of Republican infighting and a bitter GOP primary to win the 1998 election by 138 votes.

After narrowly fending off a 2000 attempt by Republicans to regain the seat, he won re-election by about 2-to-1 margins in 2002 and 2004. The only election since in which the GOP fielded a challenger was 2010; Franks won that by a similar margin.

Reick said he intends to focus on pension reform, taxes, Medicaid and education. He said Franks’ votes for pension reform and against tax increases are negated by the fact that he joins fellow Democrats at the start of every General Assembly in re-electing Michael Madigan as House speaker.

“He knows that Madigan has enough people in his pocket to pass whatever he wants to

without needing Jack’s vote, so he can vote for Mike Madigan as speaker, wander off the reservation and be as populist as he wants,” Reick said.

“Nothing against him personally, but that one special interest he seems to be beholden to is one we can’t afford to have anymore.”

Franks’ reputation as a fiscal conservative has hardened his political survivability in a county where Republicans reign supreme. He consistently votes against tax and fee increases and proposed state budgets, and in recent years has drawn the ire of local governments by fighting for legislation to curtail their ability to raise property taxes when home values fall.

Reick said his top priority if elected will be to make Illinois again friendly to job creation and growth.

“Everything that Springfield does has an effect on jobs, and jobs is the No. 1 issue facing our state,” Reick said.

Reick, 60, has a wife, three children and four grandchildren.

Board will conduct exit interview in public, not closed session as intended • D-46 Continued from page B1 limit had elapsed, meaning the Attorney General’s Office Public Access Counselor couldn’t conduct an investigation.

“We have to be squeaky clean,” Ponga said. “It’s not because of the exposure. It’s because it’s the right thing to do.”

She pointed to the board’s meeting Tuesday evening when its former business manager, Andy Searle, will give a financial overview of the district and the board

will conduct an exit interview with him.

Searle’s contract was up at the end of June.

The board originally had planned on conducting the exit interview in closed session, but because Searle is a former employee, Ponga had asked district staff to double-check with the Public Access Counselor on whether that discussion could be closed.

The Public Access Counselor advised that while the district could argue for it, it probably should be public, and so the board plans on holding the exit interview during open session.

NORTHWEST HERALD CRYSTAL LAKE – The public is invited to a First Friday Art Show from 5 to 8 p.m. Aug. 2 at the Dole Mansion and Arts Park at 401 Country Club Road.

The Lakeside Legacy Foundation art show encourages guests to view art, mingle with the artists, enjoy music and explore the Dole Mansion, all while enjoying light appetizers and a cash bar. First Friday’s are free to attend and donations to the foundation are appreciated.

Gifts give families a chance to spend time together ine joy in his weekly work.

She said he often talks about the reactions from the children and the plan for next week during the family’s weekly Sunday dinner at her Palatine home.

“He always says if he didn’t have this, he didn’t know what he would do,” Brinckerhoff said. “I’m just very proud of him that he is able to spread joy to so many people.”

But Keehan said no good deed goes unpunished. He used to hand out toys at a Crystal Lake park before a parent complaint put a stop to that.

“I received a visit from a police officer once after some parents were concerned,” he said. “The officer was very pleasant, but I just found it best to stay away from parks.”

• TOYS Continued from page B1 about 10 toys a week – a number he admits he made in a few days in his younger years.

“You adjust to who and what you are, and you do the best with the day you’re working in,” he said. “But I enjoy seeing the kids smile too much to stop.”

One common element in all the toys is their unpainted state. Keehan said he hopes the kids and family will work on and paint the toy together to make it their own creation and spend quality time together.

T.G.I. Friday’s auction in CL

CRYSTAL LAKE – Before the Texas Roadhouse takes over the T.G.I. Friday’s restaurant in Crystal Lake, residents got a chance to purchase some of their favorite Friday’s wall decor and bar supplies.

The T.G.I. Friday’s, located at 835 Cog Circle, closed its doors June 30, and the restaurant held an online auction last week to sell off everything from music posters to frying pans.

Jeanna Hoekstra was in Monday to pick up a wall-mounted sailboat and some Harley-Davidson merchandise that she purchased for $68.

“We came in a week ago to try and eat lunch, and it was closed with a sign on the door about the auction,” she said. “We were really surprised. We had no idea they auc-

tioned off this stuff.”

The auction company Worley Auctioneers declined to say how much money was made from the online bidding, but did say a 60-inch TV sold for more than $900, the ice machine went for $575, and the rotating disco ball reached $172.

“Auctions are a great way to turn assets into cash,” owner Penny Worley said in a written statement.

“Auctions work.”

The auctioned items were being collected Monday, and a crew will come in and renovate the building for Texas Roadhouse to move in. It’s unclear when the new restaurant will be open for business, as both officials from Crystal Lake and Texas Roadhouse did not immediately return phone calls Monday.

Michelle Rentzsch, the city’s director of planning and economic development, told the Northwest Herald in December that the redesigned building will feature three

Many other interior and ex-

terior changes also are planned as the restaurant is transformed, she said.

The median sales price for singlefamily homes increased 15.5 percent to $179,000, while condo prices increased 9.7 percent to $101,500 in June. The median price of all homes was up 14.8 percent compared to a year ago, $163,000 vs. $142,000 in 2012.

The inventory of homes for sale dropped by 31 percent, from 3,041 to 2,096, while the days on market were down from 90 days in June 2012 to 72 days in 2013.

McHenry County home sales are up 39.7 percent for the first six months of 2013. Year-to-date, closed sales totaled 2,337 through June compared to 1,673 through June 2012. The yearover-year median sales price of all homes was up 5.7 percent to $148,000 for the first six months of 2012.

Year-over-year closed sales in Kane were up 21.2 percent, from 642 to 776.

The median price for all properties in Lake County was $235,000, up 11.9 percent from June 2012. Closed sales were up 17.2 percent, from 908 to 1,062.

Statewide, home sales increased 14.9 percent over previous-year levels in June and median prices increased 9.7 percen.

Illinois home sales (including single-family homes and condominiums) in June 2013 totaled 15,268 homes sold, up from 13,286 in June 2012. This marks 24 consecutive months of yearover-year sales increases.

The statewide median price in June was $170,000, up 9.7 percent from June 2012 when the median price was $155,000. The statewide median price is at the highest level since June 2010.

The median is a typical market price where half the homes sold for more and half sold for less.

“To have this extended run of yearover-year sales gains shows that the housing market in Illinois is indeed recovering,” said Michael D. Olden-

The inventory of homes for sale in June was 65,658 units, a 27.4 percent drop compared to last year’s 90,461 units. The time it takes to sell a home has also fallen with days on market averaging 76 days in June, down 20 percent from 95 days in June 2012.

The monthly average commitment rate for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage for the North Central region was 4.09 percent in June 2013, up from 3.55 percent during the previous month, according to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. Last June it averaged 3.67 percent.

In the nine-county Chicago Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes McHenry, Kane and Lake, home sales in June 2013 totaled 11,103 homes sold, up 18.7 percent from June 2012 sales of 9,354 homes.

The median price in June 2013 was $206,000 in the Chicago PMSA, up 13.2 percent from $182,000 in June 2012. The time it took to sell a home dropped substantially in June with listings averaging 63 days until sale,

a 25 percent drop compared to 84 days in June 2012.

“The rising house prices suggest some significant movements towards a more stable housing market,” said Geoffrey J.D. Hewings, director of the Regional Economics Applications Laboratory of the University of Illinois. “New analysis of the foreclosure process suggests that a return to pre-recession levels could occur early next year, further enhancing the housing recovery. Rising interest rates appear not to be dampening demand and continued upward pressure on rental prices is clearly encouraging more potential buyers into the market.”

Forty-seven of 102 Illinois counties reporting to IAR showed year-overyear home sales increases in June 2013. Forty-four counties showed year-over-year median price increases.

The city of Chicago saw a 12.5 percent year-over-year home sales increase in June 2013 with 2,623 sales, up from 2,332 in June 2012. The median price of a home in the city of Chicago in June 2013 was $254,900 up 17.5 percent compared to June 2012 when it was $217,000. Chicago condo prices also saw double-digit gains for the month, posting a 14.5 percent jump to $286,750. Average time on market in the city was 51 days, down 32.9 percent compared to 76 days last June.

8IN BRIEF EU clears Baxter’s $2.76 billion bid for Gambro BERLIN – The European Union’s antitrust authority has cleared U.S. pharmaceutical company Baxter’s proposed $2.76 billion takeover bid of Sweden’s dialysis products firm Gambro.

The European Commission said Monday the acquisition can go ahead on condition that Baxter divest its renal replacement therapy, which serves patients suffering from acute kidney failure.

The commission, the 28-nation bloc’s antitrust watchdog, said Baxter’s commitment to selling that business line has appeased concerns the takeover would stifle competition in the segment.

Gambro AB makes dialysis products for patients with acute or chronic kidney disease and it has annual sales of about $1.6 billion.

Baxter International Inc., based in Deerfield, proposed to buy the privately held Swedish firm in December.

McDonald’s sees tough year despite new items NEW YORK – McDonald’s is mixing up its menu with healthier, fresher sounding items such as its chicken McWraps, but not enough customers are biting.

The world’s biggest hamburger chain on Monday reported a second-quarter profit that rose 4 percent but fell short of Wall Street expectations. It also said July sales are expected to be relatively flat and warned of a tough year ahead.

The company, based in Oak Brook, said global sales edged up 1 percent at restaurants open at least a year for the three months ended June 30.

Concerns about health-care law escalate Here are some interesting statistics from the United States Chamber of Commerce/Harris Interactive Poll Second Quarter Small Business Outlook Study from July 8. The sampling included 1,304 participants with 499 being U.S. chamber members and 805 nonmembers.

Concerns about the health-care law have now reached as the top challenge viewed by small business, increasing by 10 points since June 2011. While overall concerns about the economy remained steady: • 71 percent of small businesses say the health-care law makes it harder to hire.

• Only 30 percent say they are prepared for the requirements of the law including participation in the marketplaces.

• Among small businesses that will be impacted by the employer mandate, one-half of small businesses say that they will either cut hours to reduce full-time employees or replace full-time employees with part-time workers to avoid the mandate. Twenty-four percent say they will reduce hiring to stay under 50 employees.

• Seventy-nine percent believe the health-care law will make coverage more expensive, 17 percent believe it will have little impact on cost while 4 percent believe the law will make health-care coverage more affordable.

Here’s what the respondents said as to the challenges facing small business owners today: • The 2010 Health-care bill – 49

CHAMBER NEWS Gary Reece percent • Overregulation – 44 percent • Economic uncertainty – 44 percent • America’s growing debt & deficit – 40 percent • High taxes – 33 percent • A complicated tax code – 19 percent • Loss of revenue – 17 percent • High energy/gas prices – 13 percent • Lack of qualified or educated employees – 11 percent Seventy-seven percent continue to think that the U.S. economy is on the wrong track, but funny enough, 49 percent of small businesses are more optimistic about their local economy and almost 75 percent believe their own individual businesses are heading in the right direction.

Even with the belief they’re heading in the right direction, only 17 percent of small business owners reported hiring employees in the last two years and only 20 percent believe that they will add any employees in the next two years. Sixty-one percent stated that they have no plans to hire next year. Almost 25 percent say that the health-care bill is their biggest obstacle to hiring more employees.

The study also reported that small businesses are looking for legisla-

tive solutions, not more regulation.

Concerns about regulation have increased significantly from 35 percent last quarter to 42 percent now.

Small businesses are looking for leadership on issues that will remove barriers and encourage growth: • 88 percent of all small businesses support addressing entitlement spending to resolve America’s growing financial challenges and escalating debt.

• 83 percent support congressional efforts to reform the tax code with the majority focusing on making it less complex.

• 81 percent of small businesses surveyed believe the immigration system is broken and needs to be reformed and 57 percent said that immigration reform will strengthen the economy and increase global competitiveness.

In contrast to the president’s recent speech pushing new energy regulations, 90 percent of small businesses support easing EPA regulations and opening up more federal lands for drilling. Almost 70 percent of small business owners agree that high energy prices are an immediate threat to their success and 80 percent do not think the administration has done enough to keep gas prices low, increase domestic sources of energy and develop an energy policy that supports the economy and jobs.

Finally, the only thing that scares small businesses more than what Washington has already done (23

percent) is what the federal government will do next (63 percent) and 78 percent of small businesses are concerned about the prospect of U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi regaining her speakership following the 2014 elections. *** If you have any inkling of what’s been going in the state of Illinois, one cannot get educated fast enough about those who want to lead the state out of the morass we find ourselves in.

U.S. home sales dipped 1.2% in June

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON – U.S. sales of previously occupied homes dipped in June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.08 million in June but remain near a 3½-year high.

The National Association of Realtors said Monday that sales dipped last month from an annual rate of 5.14 million in May. The NAR revised down May’s sales, but they were still the highest since November 2009.

Despite last month’s dip, sales are up 15.2 percent from a year ago. Home sales have recovered since early last

year, buoyed by job gains and low mortgage rates.

Still, mortgage rates have surged in recent weeks over concern that the Federal Reserve could slow its bondbuying programs this year. The Fed’s bond purchases have helped keep long-term interest rates low.

Higher mortgage rates slowed sales of higher-priced homes in states such as California and New York, the Realtors group said.

The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage leapt to 4.46 percent by the end of June from 3.81 percent at the end of May. The rate was 4.37 percent last week.

Most economists aren’t yet worried that the higher rates will undercut the housing recovery. Mortgage rates are still at historically low levels, and home prices remain relatively affordable despite rising in the past year. In addition, higher mortgage rates could encourage potential buyers to come off the sidelines and purchase homes before rates rise further.

But many of those buyers may be frustrated by the small number of available homes, which has helped push up prices. The number of homes for sale rose 3.3 percent in May to 2.2 million, the second straight increase.

Spike Lee launches Kickstarter campaign

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

The next Spike Lee joint will be a Kickstarter production.

Following in the footsteps of “Veronica Mars” and Zach Braff, Lee has launched an online campaign to help fund his next feature film. The Brooklyn filmmaker Monday unveiled his bid to raise $1.25 million over the next month using the fundraising site Kickstarter.

Lee offered few details on the film, but said it would be about “the addiction of blood.”

ABC’s O’Brian named Al-Jazeera America prez

Actor Dennis Farina dead at 69 Dennis Farina, a onetime Chicago cop who as a popular character actor played a TV cop on “Law & Order” during his wide-ranging career, has died.

Farina died Monday morning in a Scottsdale, Ariz., hospital after he suffered a blood clot in his lung, according to his publicist, Lori De Waal. He was 69.

For three decades, Farina was a character actor who displayed remarkable dexterity, charm and toughness, making effective use of his craggy face, husky frame, ivory smile and ample mustache.

He could be as dapper as Fred Astaire and as full of threat as Clint Eastwood. His gift has been described as wry, tough-guy panache, and audiences loved him for it.

Farina’s many films include “Saving Private Ryan,” (1998), “Out Of Sight” (1998), “Midnight Run” (1988), “Manhunter” (1986), and his breakout and perhaps most beloved film, “Get Shorty” (1995), a comedic romp where he played a Miami mob boss.

Among his numerous TV roles was Detective Joe Fontana on “Law & Order” during the 2004-06 seasons, replacing longtime cast member Jerry Orbach in the ensemble.

He recently completed shooting a comedy film, “Lucky Stiff.”

Before he found his way into acting as he neared his forties, Farina served with the Chicago Police Department for 18 years, both as a uniformed officer (he was there for the 1968 Chicago riots) and a burglary detective.

Al-Jazeera America said Monday it will bring in a quartet of veteran U.S. television news executives, led by ABC’s Kate O’Brian as president, to run the new cable news network and pinpointed Aug. 20 as the launch date.

Ehab Al Shahibi, executive director for international operations for Al-

More celeb news at PlanitNorthwest.com/buzz Jazeera and the man who has overseen development of the American outlet, is the interim chief executive officer.

Qatar-based Al-Jazeera, formed in 1996, has expanded quickly around the world but struggled to gain access to U.S. cable and satellite systems. At the beginning of this year, it bought former Vice President Al Gore’s Current TV, giving the company access to some 50 million homes initially, and began to set up a network specifically for the U.S. audience.

O’Brian has worked at ABC News for three decades, and since 2007 has been the network’s senior vice president for news, leading its breaking news coverage.

of the title “The Butler.”

In a ruling over the weekend, the MPAA’s Title Registration Bureau said the Weinstein Co. couldn’t go forward with the title for its upcoming Lee Daniels’ White House drama. In the MPAA’s title registry, Warner Bros. reserves the rights to the title due to a so-named 1916 short.

But the Weinstein Co. will be allowed to use the title “Lee Daniels’ The Butler,” which the company said it would switch to immediately. The MPAA stipulated the letters in “Lee Daniels” must be at least 75 percent the size of “The Butler.”

Weinstein took his case public in recent weeks, leading to one of the more visible Hollywood clashes in recent years, if over a relatively minor squabble.

Weinstein had argued that Warner Bros. was attempting to use the dispute to extort from him his percentage of “The Hobbit,” the three-part franchise Warner Bros. is releasing. (Title conflicts are often settled with a little horse trading.)

TAKE 2

BEARS: 2013 BEST-CASE/WORST-CAST SCENARIOS

Tom Musick and Jon Styf face off

Cubs trade Garza, hope for the best Good news, TV lovers. The Cubs’ critically acclaimed World Series drought has been renewed for a 106th season in 2014. The latest step in the rebuilding process came Monday as the Cubs traded Matt Garza to the Texas Rangers for three minor-league prospects and up to two players to be named. Sports editor Jon Styf and columnist Tom Musick discuss:

Musick: Goodbye, Matt Garza. Best of luck with the Rangers. Hello, Mike Olt, C.J. Edwards and Justin Grimm. When can you start?

Styf: I don’t think they want Justin Grimm starting now. He’s had some good starts this season. He’s had more bad ones, allowing seven or more earned runs three times. He’s 25 and he’s just a guy. An arm.

A Chris Rusin. Edwards had great low-level minors numbers and Olt used to be a prospect. Now, he’s hitting .213 with 11 homers in Triple-A. So, they got some players. And they knew Garza was bolting. Some players is better than none. Edwards is definitely the one to watch.

Musick: Basically, the Cubs are playing bags in the backyard, only the stakes are way higher. Take three shots at the target. Hope one of them hits. Maybe Edwards is that someone, but I’m skeptical about a guy in Single-A who is almost 22. Maybe Olt is that someone, but he turns 25 in August and has forgotten how to hit minor-league pitching. And maybe Grimm is that guy, but he also turns 25 next month and has given no indications he could be special.

Styf: I’m amused that Edwards is listed as 6-foot-2 and 155. That’s all I know. He’s skinny. He’s pitched well. And somehow they got C.J. out of Carl Fleming Edwards.

Musick: If we’re allowed to make up initials, I’d like to be known as A.J. Musick. That makes me sound fast. And with my new identity, I would like to create a giant list of Jim Hendry’s mistakes as Cubs general manager and promptly set fire to that list. Hendry’s decision to trade five players – including two really good prospects – to the Tampa Bay Rays for Garza in 2011 would rank near the top.

Styf: The point here is we don’t know. We know what he looks like now. We know that not too long ago Olt was supposed to be good too. But, they’re calculated risks. And the Cubs just hope one of them works out.

Eventually, if they trade enough guys, one of them will.

Just don’t plan on this turning into a Kris Bryant position change. He’s simply on a different level than Olt, even today.

Musick: At least the Cubs have a plan. It might not work out as fast as they hope, but you can’t go anywhere without a plan. (Cough) White Sox (cough).

Styf: I think I do just fine without a plan. Winging it, every day. Now I wonder if the Cubs are done. I think they’ll sell Kevin Gregg for another guy, maybe a couple of PTBNL. Musick: Pack Gregg up, ship him out. Send Alfonso Soriano with him. Collect a few more prospects, and hope that another one or two of them resembles a major leaguer some day.

Bears coach Marc Trestman talks to quarterback Jay Cutler during minicamp last month in Lake Forest. Cutler could be the quarterback Trestman has been waiting for to get the most out of his offensive ideas.

Biggest fear?

Trestman flops New coach likely holds key to Bears’ success BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush There’s only one best-case scenario in the NFL: You win a ring.

On the other hand, worst-case scenarios can go in a bunch of different ways, and I’ve always preferred to save the best for last, so let’s get the nasty stuff out of the way first.

WORST-CASE SCENARIO

The Cubs traded Matt Garza to the Texas Rangers on Monday for three prospects and up to two players to be named.

The worst possible case for the Bears in 2013 starts with the possibility that hiring Marc Trestman to be the head coach was not the stroke of genius Phil Emery believes it was. What if it turns out there was a reason (or reasons)

Trestman has been out of the league since 2004, and he has no more luck than Lovie Smith, Ron Turner, Mike Martz or Mike Tice had unlocking the magic we all believe is buried somewhere inside of Jay Cutler? And what if it turns out Cutler just doesn’t have

the people skills or just can’t speak or understand enough NFL football to be all that he can be?

Worse yet, suppose the offensive line is no better this year than it’s been the past few years.

J’Marcus Webb at any other position still could be J’Marcus Webb. There is at least one reason, if not several reasons, that the Jets and Jaguars didn’t want Matt Slauson and Eben Britton back. Kyle Long will never have more than four starts in college before he plays his first NFL game. Roberto Garza, hopefully, won’t start to slip, but it’s not likely he’s getting better as he turns 34. And even though the Bears are paying Jermon Bushrod like an elite left tackle – he’s good, not great – he may

PHIL LAWLER SUMMER CLASSIC: STATE FINAL 8

Bats betray Huntley; summer run ends

By PATRICK MASON pmason@shawmedia.com LISLE – Pitching and defense have been the key to the Huntley baseball team’s success throughout the summer.

The Red Raiders relied on their pitcher’s arms and fielders to keep opponents from scoring while their bats provided explosive offense good enough to advance them through the Phil Lawler Summer Classic and into the final eight.

But while the pitching and defense showed up Monday night at Benedictine University, the bats fell silent in a 3-1 loss against Libertyville and once

again in a 5-4, 11-inning loss to Glenbrook North, ending Huntley’s summer season.

It was ace right-hander Eric Luecht who started Huntley in the right direction against Libertyville as he cruised through the first four innings without allowing a hit and keeping the Libertyville hitters off balance with devastating breaking and off-speed pitches that complimented a heavy fastball.

Huntley scored its only run in the bottom half of the first and it looked like it would be enough the way Luecht was throwing but the Libertyville batters caught up to him the second time through the order.

“Eric was tremendous tonight,” Huntley coach Andy Jakubowski said.

“He deserved better. We struggled offensively, but he pitched a great game.”

Luecht went all seven innings and threw 112 pitches while scattering six hits and striking out 10. He walked three. At one point spanning two innings, he struck out six batters in a row then issued a walk. But he picked off the runner at first base end the inning.

“I’m always really fired up before games and I used that a bit,” Luecht said, “but for some reason we all just got a little tired and I lost some control.”

PREPS: JOHNSBURG ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

C-G’s Ruhland receives offer from Minnesota

Leopold leaves for West Coast

Cary-Grove offensive lineman Trevor Ruhland received a scholarship offer from Minnesota over the weekend, likely the first of many for the 6-foot-4, 270-pound junior.

Ruhland and Michael Gomez, both sophomores last season, were Northwest Herald All-Area first-team selections after helping the Trojans reach the Class 6A state championship game, where they lost to CreteMonee.

Ruhland’s father Matt played at Iowa. Trevor also has made unofficial visits to Illinois, Michigan, Michigan State and Iowa this summer, although some were before schools could offer to juniors.

Ruhland likely projects as a left tackle. At C-G, the Trojans flip-flop their linemen depending on what they do in their option offense, and Ruhland and Gomez worked on whatever side the tight end lined up on that play.

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com When Trevor Leopold saw his name on the list of District 12 teachers whose positions were not guaranteed for the 2013-14 school year, he naturally reacted by applying for jobs.

Leopold later learned he could return to Johnsburg, but other events over the summer led him to the West Coast. He interviewed at West Seattle (Wash.) High School in early July, then after one of his brothers died, he decided to stay and be closer to his family.

Leopold, who worked two years as Johnsburg’s athletic director, emailed administrators and teachers Monday that he was taking the AD job in Seattle. West Seattle High School has about 1,400 students, renovated facilities and is near his other brother and his mother.

Korey Kearn, one of Leopold’s younger brothers, died this month, shortly after Trevor interviewed for the West Seattle AD job. He plans to live with David Kearn, his other brother, for a while. He also will be close to his mother Susan Kearn.

Broncos’ Miller insists he did nothing wrong ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – The latest distraction for the Denver Broncos comes from All-Pro linebacker Von Miller, who insisted Monday he did nothing wrong in the face of reports he could miss four games for violating the NFL’s drug policy.

“I know I did nothing wrong.

I’m sure this’ll be resolved fairly,” Miller tweeted, acknowledging he had seen the reports and adding he was disappointed the Broncos have to open training camp with this news hanging over them.

ESPN first reported the pending discipline for Miller. A person with knowledge of the situation confirmed the possible penalty to The Associated Press. The person did not want to be named because the league hasn’t announced any punishment.

George Atallah, spokesman for the NFLPA, said the players union was working with Miller on his appeal, adding via Twitter: “I can also confirm that Von’s case does not involve the Steroids and Related Substances Policy.”

That would suggest Miller’s case centers around recreational drugs instead.

Broncos spokesman Patrick Smyth said the team was unable to comment on the penalty, which could be overturned by an appeal. Miller and his agent didn’t return messages left by AP.

NFL, players union discuss HGH tests again The NFL and players union are talking again about getting a test in place for human growth hormone as early as the upcoming season.

An email obtained by The Associated Press from the NFL Players Association indicates that the league and the NFLPA have jointly hired a doctor to conduct a study on NFL players to determine a good threshold for a positive HGH test. The email was sent by the union to players, in part to explain that the study requires them to have blood drawn during their physical when training camp begins.

The email said the blood samples will only be used for the study.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the discussions are focused “on a full resolution of any remaining issues, including the role of a population study.”

The labor agreement that ended the NFL lockout in 2011 requires the league gain union approval before testing players for HGH. The union says it favors testing, but has reservations about the appeals process.

Phil Mickelson looks at the Claret Jug trophy Sunday after winning the British Open at Muirfield, Scotland.

Links victory adds to Mickelson legacy GULLANE, Scotland – Phil Mickelson described his feelings toward links golf as a “hatelove” relationship, meaning he once dreaded coming over to the British Open for a brand of golf played only once a year. Now he loves it.

He felt that way even before his name was engraved on the silver Claret Jug. Mickelson was in a great mood the first day he set foot on Muirfield last week. Fresh off a win at the Scottish Open, he played a practice round late Monday afternoon with Scott Piercy, a newcomer to links golf who received plenty of advice and a little needling from Mickelson.

When they reached the 18th hole, Piercy decided to hit driver with a slightly helping wind.

He pulled it and watched it run into a bunker.

“This is what I love about Scott,” Mickelson said, loud enough for Piercy to hear. “For more than a hundred years they’ve been playing here, everyone tries to keep it short of those bunkers.

Scott gets here and says, ‘What do they know?

I’m taking driver over those bunkers.’ ” The entire group broke into laughter.

Mickelson is not sure when he figured out the secret to links golf.

Even though he won the British Open in his 20th try, he played good enough to win twice before. He finished one shot out of a playoff at Royal Troon in 2004, and a Sunday charge at Royal St. George’s two years ago was derailed when he missed a short par putt on the back nine. But he was always capable. Anyone with more than 40 titles and multiple majors can win anywhere on any surface.

He still won’t be looked upon as a links specialist, not like Tiger Woods or Ernie Els from his generation.

Even so, Mickelson’s three-shot victory at Muirfield for his fifth career major was every bit as important as his first major in 2004 at the Masters. The greatest players don’t just have multiple majors, their major trophies come in a variety of shapes and sizes, such as green jackets and silver jugs, along with more traditional cups.

Of the 26 players who have won at least four majors, only two never won a British Open – Byron Nelson and Raymond Floyd.

Nelson played in an era when Americans rarely played in golf’s oldest championship because the prize money was so small they would lose money even if they won. Floyd skipped his share of Opens, too, for it really wasn’t until the late 1980s when hardly anyone considered not playing.

The ultimate measure of greatness is the career Grand Slam.

Five players make up the most elite class in golf – Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen.

Woods won his career Grand Slam when he was 24 and had played in only 15 majors. Nicklaus and Player had all four majors when they were in their 20s. Hogan and Sarazen got theirs before the modern version of the Grand Slam even came into existence.

In that context, the last player to pick up the third leg of the Grand Slam would have been Floyd when he won the 1986 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills. By then, he was 43 and not considered a favorite to add a Claret Jug to his collection.

ON GOLF Doug Ferguson Mickelson also is 43, though the dynamics are entirely different.

For starters, he believes he is playing some of the best golf of his career, and it’s hard to doubt him. Mickelson has won three times this year, including the Phoenix Open where he missed out on a 59 by the smallest of margins, and a win last week in the Scottish Open.

And the missing link is the U.S. Open, which Mickelson always thought would be the one major he could win. It hasn’t been from a lack of effort. Mickelson holds the U.S. Open record with six silver medals.

Mickelson’s national championship has never meant more than it does now.

“I think that if I’m able to win the U.S. Open and complete the career Grand Slam, I think that’s the sign of the complete, great player,” he said. “And I’m a leg away. And it’s been a tough leg for me.”

He said that in such a way that the room erupted in laughter, with Mickelson leading the way. He is not afraid to make fun of his own shortcomings.

“I think there’s five players that have done that. And those five players are the greats of the game,” he said. “You look at them with a different light.”

The U.S. Open returns to Pinehurst No. 2 next year, a slightly different course that now features expanses of sandy waste area. It’s not quite the same as when Payne Stewart beat Mickelson by one shot with a par on the 18th hole. And don’t forget, Mickelson finished 12 shots out of the lead at Pinehurst in 2005.

True, he needs the U.S. Open to be looked upon in a different light, to join the greats of the game.

But he does not need the U.S. Open to be looked upon as a complete player. The Claret Jug takes care of that.

Nick Faldo has one more major than Mickelson, winning the Masters and the British Open three times each. Faldo clearly was good enough to win the other two American majors – he lost in a playoff to Curtis Strange in the 1988 U.S. Open, and finished one shot out of a playoff in the 1993 PGA Championship – but he never did.

Seve Ballesteros won the Masters and British Open. Peter Thomson has five majors, all at the British Open.

Others with at least five majors never had the four modern majors at their full disposal – players like Walter Hagen, Harry Vardon, J.H. Taylor and James Braid. Bobby Jones created the Masters but, in effect, he was retired by then and golf’s greatest amateur was never eligible for the PGA Championship.

There’s something special about winning three majors, something grand about four.

Mickelson took care of the hard part with one of the greatest closing rounds in a major at Muirfield. He is not done yet.

because you don’t know if you’re going to get your job back,” Leopold said. “I interviewed here on July 1, and when my brother passed away I wanted to move back and be with my mother and my other brother.”

Leopold grew up in the Seattle area from ages 7 through 14. He worked the past two years as Johnsburg’s AD. “Everybody at Johnsburg’s been really great,” Leopold said. “I have a lot of good relationships there.

I emailed the ADs in the Fox Valley Conference, and they all wished me good luck.”

Johnsburg principal Kevin Shelton met with coaches Monday night to discuss the situation.

“We have posted the job and talked with the coaches about what the next steps are, although we don’t know just what that is yet,” Shelton said. “We went over the essentials with our coaches about getting the year started on the right foot.”

Johnsburg has no assistant AD position, so Shelton said until a person is in place, the duties will fall on administration, coaches and Patti Cavanaugh, who is the AD’s secretary.

OHIO STATE FOOTBALL

Meyer disciplines 4, including Hyde, Roby

By RUSTY MILLER The Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has disciplined four players for legal problems, including suspending leading-scorer Carlos Hyde from all team activities in the wake of an alleged assault against a female over the weekend in Columbus.

In addition, star cornerback Bradley Roby, who was arrested in Indiana for an altercation with a security guard at a bar this past weekend, will not represent the Buckeyes at this week’s Big Ten media days. He was one of the players initially selected to speak to reporters at the annual event.

Freshman recruits Marcus Baugh, a tight end, and defensive lineman Tim Gardner

also were disciplined Monday.

“I have a clear set of core values in place that members of this football program are constantly reminded of and are expected to honor,” Meyer said in a statement issued by Ohio State late Monday afternoon. “There are also expectations with regard to behavior.

I expect our players to conduct themselves responsibly and appropriately and they will be held accountable for their actions.”

There were published reports earlier in the day that Hyde had been kicked off the team for being listed as a person of interest in the alleged assault of a woman at a downtown Columbus bar. The Columbus Dispatch cited sources saying Hyde was dismissed from the team over the incident early Saturday.

Bad hops hurt Huntley • HUNTLEY Continued from page C1 Libertyville scored two runs in the fifth and added an insurance run in the sixth with help from some tough hops in the infield that caught some players in the shoulder and face because of the dry ground.

Second baseman Troy Cantu made several spectacular plays despite the bad hops but said it was rough.

“I look at it like we’re out here to help each other,” he said. “You just have to pick

each other up and move on and get the next out.”

Against Glenbrook North, again, the Red Raiders’ pitching was superb as Nick Constantino went seven innings and scattered seven hits while striking out eight.

Mason Martin entered in relief with the score tied.

Huntley scored a run in the ninth to go ahead but gave up the lead in the bottom half and the score stayed tied, 4-4, until the bottom of the 11th, when Matt Alexander’s RBI triple ended a game that lasted more than three hours.

Rookies give WNBA boost Sky’s Delle Donne, others help ESPN2 double TV ratings

By DOUG FEINBERG The Associated Press NEW YORK – Midway through their first WNBA season, Brittney Griner, Elena Delle Donne and Skylar Diggins are leaving their mark.

And not only on the court. They are helping the league boost viewership, attendance and merchandise sales.

“I think we’ve seen that they’ve had an impact on the game and the league,” WNBA President Laurel Richie said.

Television household ratings have doubled on ESPN2 as compared with last season. The three rookies were all featured in a Memorial Day doubleheader to start the season, and the game pitting Griner against Delle Donne drew the league’s highest regular-season ratings in nine AP file photo years.

“A lot of people are tuning in and The Phoenix Mercury’s Brittney Griner (from left), the Sky’s Elena Delle Donne and the Tulsa Shock’s Skylar Diggins are helping the WNBA in- watching our games and coming to our games,” Griner said. “When I go into a crease TV ratings and attendance.

NBA NOTES

Ex-Bull Robinson joins Nuggets

By PAT GRAHAM The Associated Press DENVER – The Denver Nuggets just quickened an already speedy backcourt by bringing in former Bulls guard Nate Robinson.

The veteran point guard agreed to a two-year deal Monday, a per- Nate s o n f a m i l i a r Robinson with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because the deal hadn’t been officially announced.

Robinson joins Ty Lawson to give the Nuggets a tandem that can fly up and down the floor. The addition of Robinson also creates a backlog in the backcourt, with the

Nuggets already having upand-comer Evan Fournier, veteran Andre Miller, rookie Erick Green and newly acquired Randy Foye as well.

The Denver Post first reported the deal.

The 5-foot-9 Robinson averaged 13 points a game for the Bulls last season. He stepped up his game in the postseason, scoring 34 points in a triple-overtime win in Game 4 against Brooklyn and playing through the flu later in that series.

Soon after reaching his decision, Robinson wrote on his Twitter account that it was a difficult decision to leave the Bulls: “I know the nba is a Business but when u build friendships with guys on the team it’s hard to say goodbye ... Thanks again chitown one love.”

Wade, ex-wife reach settlement: At Miami, Dwyane Wade’s attorney said the

Miami Heat guard finally reached a financial settlement with his ex-wife, ending their divorce saga.

Attorney James Pritikin said Wade “provided a very generous settlement” to exwife Siohvaughn Funches.

Wade filed for divorce in 2007, and it was granted in 2010. He was awarded sole custody of his two sons in 2011.

The settlement was announced three days after Funches sat on a busy Chicago street and said Wade left her homeless and destitute. Pritikin said Wade has been paying his ex-wife $25,000 a month, plus paid her mortgage, for four cars, insurance, taxes and the fees incurred by the 16 attorneys she retained during the divorce and custody fights.

Pritikin said a court will decide if Funches gets future visitation with her sons.

MORE SELECTION • MORE SAVINGS

sports bar some of the people I wouldn’t think would watch women’s basketball are there watching. ... There’s definitely more awareness.”

That awareness is carrying over to stores. There’s been a huge upswing in sales of merchandise this season, with Chicago, Phoenix and Tulsa leading the way.

To no surprise, the three rookies are the league’s top selling jerseys, with Griner No. 1. The 6-foot-8 Phoenix Mercury star was used to seeing fans wear her No. 42 – in honor of Jackie Robinson – in college at Baylor. But, in keeping with NCAA rules, her name wasn’t on them. Now that she’s a pro, she looks in the stands and sees young girls wearing jerseys with her name on the back.

“That’s humbling,” Griner said. “Just to know I have so many fans out there buying my jersey means a lot. It means I’m doing something right.”

Despite not being able to play recently because of a sprained left knee, Griner is still making the rounds. She was at the ESPYs, winning for best college player, and appeared on Conan O’Brien’s late-night talk show.

“The Conan show was sweet. I loved that,” Griner said. “He was very funny, and he’s really tall, too.”

Although Griner hasn’t been able to help the Mercury much on the court lately, Delle Donne has been instrumental in guiding the Sky to first place in the Eastern Conference. She scored in double figures in her first 15 games and is trying to lead the Sky to their first playoff appearance since the franchise began in 2006. The Delaware star averages 18.6 points and shoots almost 95 percent from the foul line.

She was honored as June’s rookie of the month and the Eastern Conference player of the week twice this season.

“One of my goals has always been to bring as much positive attention to the WNBA and the Chicago Sky as I can,” Delle Donne said. “The fact that a lot of people out there are wearing Chicago jerseys makes me very happy.”

More important to her, the team is winning. The Sky have just two fewer victories then all of last season, and fans are taking notice. The Sky are averaging nearly 2,000 more fans this season and are on pace for their best season at the gate. Many of those fans, as well as those on the road, are wearing Delle Donne’s jersey.

Griner and Delle Donne were voted last week to start in the All-Star Game on Saturday. The 6-foot-5 Delle Donne was the leading vote getter, the first time a rookie has done that.

Braun banned for rest of 2013 Brewers star accepts punishment

By RONALD BLUM The Associated Press NEW YORK – The first star to fall in baseball’s latest drug investigation is one of its biggest: Ryan Braun.

The 2011 National League MVP was suspended without pay for the rest of the season and the postseason Monday, the start of sanctions involving players Ryan Braun reportedly tied to a Florida clinic accused of distributing performance-enhancing drugs.

The Milwaukee Brewers star accepted the 65-game ban, 15 games more than the one he avoided last year when an arbitrator overturned his positive test for elevated testosterone because the urine sample had been improperly handled.

“I am not perfect. I realize now that I have made some mistakes. I am willing to accept the consequences of those actions,” he said in a statement.

Braun, injured Yankees star Alex Rodriguez and more than a dozen players were targeted by MLB following a report by Miami New Times in January that they had been connected with Biogenesis of America, a now-closed anti-aging clinic.

“For these guys still to be involved with this stuff just baffles me,” Miami Marlins manager Mike Redmond said.

“The education’s there and everybody knows what you can and can’t take. It baffles me that this continues to be a black cloud over the game. I know Major League Baseball’s done a great job of cleaning up the game and the testing policy and all that. And it’s working. But at the same time, too, it seems like we’ll go through a lull and then, bam, here comes another guy that gets suspended. It’s got to stop.”

MLB commissioner Bud Selig announced Braun’s penalty,

citing the outfielder for unspecified “violations” of both baseball’s drug program and labor contract. Braun will miss the Milwaukee Brewers’ final 65 games without pay, costing him about $3 million of his $8.5 million salary. With the Brewers in last place in the NL Central, they aren’t likely to have any playoff games for him to miss.

“I wish to apologize to anyone I may have disappointed,” Braun said. “I am glad to have this matter behind me once and for all, and I cannot wait to get back to the game I love.”

Under the agreement reached by MLB and the players’ association the specifics of Braun’s admission were not made public.

A person familiar with the deal, speaking on the condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized, said 50 games of the penalty were connected to Biogenesis. The additional 15 games stemmed from Braun’s actions during the grievance that overturned his positive test from October 2011. The suspension will count as a first violation of the drug program, the person said.

Union head Michael Weiner said last week that arbitration hearings for players contesting suspensions likely would not start until September, which would delay any penalty until next season. But he also indicated the union would urge players to make a deal and get a suspension over with if there was strong evidence of guilt.

“I am deeply gratified to see Ryan taking this bold step,” Weiner said in a statement.

“It vindicates the rights of all players under the joint drug program.”

Braun’s acceptance of the suspension marks a turnaround from his defiant spring training news conference in Phoenix last year, after his 50game ban was overturned.

“We won,” he said then, “because the truth is on my side.

The truth is always relevant, and at the end of the day, the truth prevailed.”

MLB ROUNDUP

Heyward’s diving grab preserves Braves’ win The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Jason Heyward made a diving catch with runners on first and second and two outs in the ninth inning after pinch-hitter Reed Johnson hit a go-ahead single with two outs in a two-run top half, leading the Atlanta Braves to a 2-1, comeback victory over the New York Mets on Monday night.

Playing for the first time after missing six games with a strained right hamstring, Heyward made a long run to his right and slid along the wet grass to hold his glove up after grabbing pinch-hitter Justin Turner’s fly ball.

Pirates 6, Nationals 5: At Washington, Andrew McCutchen hit a pair of two-run homers to back a solid outing by right-hander Charlie Morton and Pittsburgh beat skidding Washington.

The Pirates’ Jason Grilli entered in the ninth and gave up a two-run homer to Jayson Werth before leaving with an apparent arm injury after getting two outs.

Padres 5, Brewers 3: At Milwaukee, Jesus Guzman homered and had three RBIs to lift San Diego over Milwaukee hours after the team learned that Ryan Braun would be suspended for the rest of the season.

White Sox starter Chris Sale pitches in the first inning Monday against the Detroit Tigers at U.S. Celluar Field. The Sox lost, 7-3.

Sale shows frustration, again gets little help CHICAGO – White Sox pitcher Chris Sale and tough luck have gone hand in hand this season.

In only his second year in the Sox’s rotation, Sale has established himself as one of the premier starting pitchers in baseball.

Yet one glance at his record suggests otherwise. Sale was charged with the loss Monday against Detroit as the Tigers beat the Sox, 7-3. It didn’t help Sale’s cause that the Sox were facing right-hander Max Scherzer.

“Obviously, you’ve got to be a little bit more focused with a team like this, the talent they have over there and going up, pitching against Scherzer,” Sale said.

The Sox struggled Next against Scherzer, who held them to two runs in eight Detroit at innings. That resulted in Sox, 7:10 p.m.

Sale’s record dropping to Tuesday, CSN, 6-9. Sale pitched at least AM-670 eight innings for the fifth time this season. However, it’s largely been wasted by the Sox with his 1-3 record and 1.76 ERA in those outings, with the offense averaging 2.2 runs.

“There are a lot of games we’ve had where we haven’t stepped it up offensively to give Chris that kind of support,” Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “And some guys are fortunate they do get those runs.

Anyone who does what Max has done has had a little of both, kept the other team from scoring and gotten a few runs.”

After Monday’s loss, a morose Sale needed only 15 words to describe his start.

“I think I did all right. I could’ve done a little bit better, but stuff happens,” he said.

Only once in Sale’s 18 starts this season has the Sox offense scored six runs. Across the field, Sale’s counterpart, Scherzer, has benefited from one of the league’s best offenses, scoring six or more runs 11 times.

Sale has the worst run support in the majors (2.61 runs).

“I know he’s frustrated and I hope everyone in here is frustrated, too,” Adam Dunn said.

Sale’s frustrations showed after the fifth inning, when he was forced to intentionally walk Miguel Cabrera with a runner on third, first base open and lefty Prince Fielder on deck. Fielder walked on four pitches and both runners eventually scored on Victor Martinez’s two-out RBI single.

After Sale escaped without further damage, he was visibly upset in the dugout, walking into the tunnel leading to the Sox’s clubhouse. Ventura eventually followed Sale, who drew the attention of teammates in the dugout while talking to pitching coach Don Cooper.

SOX INSIDER Meghan Montemurro TIGERS 7, WHITE SOX 3 Tipping point: With the Sox trailing Detroit by a run, shortstop Alexei Ramirez’s error to start the fifth gave the Tigers an opportunity, and they took advantage.

Victor Martinez’s two-out, two-run single off Chris Sale extended the Tigers’ lead to 3-0. The sloppy play didn’t end there for the Sox. Two errors in the ninth, including another by Ramirez, led to three more runs and ended any realistic hopes at a comeback.

On the mound: Sale did his best to match Tigers starter Max Scherzer, who did not allow a base runner through the first four innings. Sale allowed four runs (two earned) on seven hits. He needed 119 pitches to last eight innings, but he struck out 11 while walking three, taking the loss.

At the plate: The Sox managed only four hits against the Tigers, and their two runs came from solo homers by Conor Gillaspie and Dayan Viciedo.

Off the disabled list, Paul Konerko went 0 for 3 with a strikeout in his first game since July 3.

Under the radar: Sale’s 11 strikeouts marked the fifth time this season and ninth time in his career (47 starts) that he struck out at least 10. He has as many 10-plus strikeout games as former Sox pitchers Mark Buehrle and Jack McDowell combined (nine in 556 starts).

“He does [have passion], but I’m the one making that call,” Ventura said of Sale.

“He needs to have a little more composure and get that guy and not worry about what happened before.”

Sale’s frustration – likely built up over the numerous starts – is understandable but probably won’t dissipate anytime soon.

Despite the potential to finish with a sub.500 record, Sale deserves to be mentioned among the best pitchers in the game.

Scherzer’s 14 wins are tied for the most in MLB while Sale’s nine losses are tied for ninth most. But not only does Sale have a better ERA than Scherzer (2.81 compared to 3.14), he edges Scherzer on batting average on balls hit in play are nearly identical (.275 to .273) and Sale’s wins against replacement (WAR) bests Scherzer’s 4.5 to 3.8. Scherzer can claim an advantage in strikouts with 157 to Sale’s 142, though both are considered to be among the best power pitchers.

WHITE SOX NOTES

Konerko returns; Beckham out

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – White Sox captain Paul Konerko (lower back strain) was activated from the disabled list and returned to the lineup Monday against the Detroit Tigers as the designated hitter, batting fifth.

Monday was Konerko’s first game since July 3 and only the second game he played dating to June 25.

Konerko avoided addressing whether he would retire after his contract expires this season. He is on a regimen to stabilize his back and core, and Konerko hopes that will help him avoid aggravating his injury.

“It’s just, again, like one of those things where if it crops up to where it knocks you down and you can’t play, you can’t do those things, that’s different,” Konerko said. “But you just cross your fingers on that like everybody else is on the ones they have.”

Beckham injured: Everything had finally been going

well at the plate for second baseman Gordon Beckham.

Since returning from surgery to remove the fractured hamate bone in his left wrist, Beckham is hitting .327 in 39 games and was starting to display the potential he had shown during his rookie season in 2009. However, another injury has Beckham stuck in limbo. A strained left wrist – nearly the same spot where he had the surgery in April – kept Beckham out of the lineup Monday against Detroit for the second consecutive game.

“It’s frustrating for me because if it was just this, I think I could be OK with it.

But when you hurt yourself for two months and are finally starting to get comfortable back playing and for something to go wrong with your hand again, it kind of stinks,” Beckham said.

Beckham will wait until Tuesday to see if his wrist feels better before deciding to take any swings. He hopes to avoid another stint on the disabled list but at this point is

stuck in a wait-and-see mode.

Manager Robin Ventura said he couldn’t rule out that Beckham will go on the DL. Beckham was told the injury is not related to the hamate bone surgery. He suffered the strain before Friday’s game when he was swinging a bat with a weight on it to get loose.

“The doctor said it could be a week, it could be more, it could be less,” Beckham said. “We don’t really know.

We just have to see how it responds to not doing anything and hops it’s not as bad as it could be.”

Trade spotlight on Peavy: With starting pitcher Matt Garza off the market, having been traded by the Cubs to the Rangers on Monday in exchange for five players, Jake Peavy becomes one of the best options for contending teams searching for starting pitching.

Peavy reiterated Monday he won’t be caught off guard should he get traded, especially after learning of Garza’s deal.

THIS DATE IN BASEBALL July 23 1925 — Lou Gehrig hit the first of his major league record 23 grand slams as the New York Yankees posted an 11-7 triumph over the Washington Senators.

1930 — Pie Traynor won both ends of a doubleheader for the Pittsburgh Pirates with home runs.

In the first game, Traynor homered in the ninth and in the second game, he connected in the 13th.

1944 — Bill Nicholson of the Cubs hit four home runs in a doubleheader split with the New York Giants. Nicholson hit a home run in the opener, which the Cubs won 7-4. He hit three straight in the second game, but the Giants won 12-10. In that game, Nicholson was walked with the bases loaded in the seventh inning.

1964 — Bert Campaneris of Kansas City hit two home runs in his first major league game. He homered on the first pitch off Minnesota’s Jim Kaat, and then connected again in the seventh to lift the Athletics to a 4-3 win.

1974 — Write-in starter Steve Garvey of the Los Angeles Dodgers singled and doubled to lead the NL to a 7-2 victory over the AL in the All-Star game at Pittsburgh.

1984 — Kansas City’s Dan Quisenberry registered his 200th career save as the Royals beat the New York Yankees 5-2. Quisenberry reached the 200-save plateau in his 409th appearance, the quickest in major league history.

2000 — Ryan Klesko hit a game-tying solo homer in the ninth inning and a two-run shot in the 10th to lift San Diego over Colorado 6-4.

2002 — Nomar Garciaparra homered three times on his 29th birthday, connecting twice in a 10-run third inning and then hitting a grand slam in the fourth inning of Boston’s 22-2 win over Tampa Bay. 2007 — Alex Rodriguez singled home Johnny Damon in the ninth inning of the New York Yankees’ 9-2 win over Kansas City to become the first player to reach 100 RBIs this season and the first player to reach the milestone in fewer than 100 team games since Manny Ramirez in 1999.

The last Yankees to do it were Joe DiMaggio and Lou Gehrig in 1937.

2009 — Mark Buehrle pitched the 18th perfect game in major league history, a 5-0 win over Tampa Bay. It was the first since Randy Johnson’s on May 18, 2004. Buehrle threw 76 of 116 pitches for strikes and fanned six in his second no-hitter – the first coming on April 18, 2007, against Texas.

BEARS: 2013 BEST-CASE/WORST-CASE SCENARIOS

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Tuesday, July 23, 2013 • Page C5

BEARS INSIDER Kevin Fishbain

Bears’ outlook isn’t bad, even with questions A quick Google search will tell you how bad I am at NFL preseason predictions. Parity has something to do with it, as there are very few sure things in football these days … unless you’re a Raiders fan this season. Sorry.

Fortunately for Bears fans, the forecast doesn’t seem too gloomy. Sure, there are plenty of questions that need to be answered about Marc Trestman’s ability to lead an NFL team, the enigma that has been Jay Cutler’s career, how the defense fares without Brian Urlacher and with its three stars on the wrong side of 30.

Despite all that, this is still a team that went 10-6 last season and upgraded its worst unit, Marc the offensive line.

Trestman The ceiling for this team is as high as Trestman and Cutler can take them. The floor is not too low – barring an injury to Cutler. There’s simply too much firepower for this club to completely regress, but missing the playoffs is certainly a possibility, especially with a tough schedule.

BEST-CASE SCENARIO The offense clicks in Trestman’s scheme.

He gets the best out of Cutler, who has a career year in the new offense and earns a lucrative, long-term contract before the season ends. The new-look offensive line finally shows stability, including a great rookie campaign by guard Kyle Long, and Matt Forte and Michael Bush spearhead a top-10 rushing attack.

On defense, the unit doesn’t skip a beat with Mel Tucker in charge, as Charles Tillman and Tim Jennings pick up where they left off in the turnover category. Henry Melton and Corey Wootton, both in contract years, rack up big sack numbers, and Lance Briggs’ new linebacking group gels. Rookie Jon Bostic eventually takes over as a starter and has a big season as the new middle linebacker. The Bears finish 12-4, win the NFC North and, in the least, return to the NFC title game, where they’d likely face the 49ers or Seahawks.

WORST-CASE SCENARIO Trestman and Aaron Kromer’s new offense does not mesh with Cutler and the rest of the holdovers. Forte gets hurt again and has to miss time, hampering the rushing attack. The new O-line doesn’t appear much better than last year, resulting in Cutler hitting the dirt often. Cutler has another inconsistent season and enters 2014 without a new contract, forcing the Bears to start over at the position in April.

The defense takes a step back, with age finally catching up to Briggs, Tillman and Julius Peppers. The new players – Bostic, D.J. Williams and James Anderson – are a far cry from Urlacher and Lance Briggs. The safety combination of Major Wright and Chris Conte gets abused often by opposing quarterbacks.

With a brutal schedule, the Bears fall to 5-11 in Trestman’s first campaign.

Super Bowl? It’s now or never Here’s the deal.

The Bears could be really good this year. They could be really bad. They could be somewhere in the middle.

You’re welcome for that insight.

Hey, they didn’t name this project TomMusick.com. What do you want from me?

It’s time for the Bears to go to training camp, and I can’t wait to see what happens. Mostly because I have no idea what will happen.

BEST-CASE SCENARIO Holy Sherrick McManis. The Bears are going to the Super Bowl.

You bring the chips and dip.

I’ll provide the hot wings and plenty of drinks.

Do you know why it’s possible that the Bears could advance to play for a Super Bowl title at the Meadowlands (or whatever that stadium in New Jersey is called now)?

Because this is the NFL: Where Weird Things Happen.

Anyway, Trestman the Genius figures out a way to unlock the tremendous ability of Jay Cutler on a consistent basis.

He moves Cutler around in the pocket, he dials up a bunch of innovative plays to use Matt Forte out of the backfield, he shifts No. 1 stud Brandon Marshall from flanker to slot to flanker like some muscled up chess piece.

It all works. So do the offensive linemen – hello, Jermon Bushrod! So do the tight ends – goodbye, Kellen Davis!

When the defense is on the field, Trestman and Cutler stand next to each other on the sideline like best friends.

They respect each other. Thank goodness.

Speaking of the defense, that’s good, too. By relying on the same Cover-2 backbone that has worked here since the Middle Ages, new defensive coordinator Mel Tucker is able to preserve a top-10 defense while fans enjoy a top-10 offense. Sure, Tucker will sprinkle in some Cover-1

and take advantage of versatile athlete Shea McClellin, but the bread and butter of this group will come down to a powerful front four, a physical secondary and a much faster linebacker corps without Old Man Urlacher See you at the Super Bowl party. You’re good for the chips and dip?

WORST-CASE SCENARIO Well, that was terrible.

The Bears stumbled out of the gate, stumbled through the middle of the season and stumbled down the stretch to finish in the bottom half of the NFC North.

Let’s hope Trestman turns this thing around in 2014 or he might end up on the hot seat. We hear that Lovie Smith is available to coach.

Do you know why it’s possible that the Bears could transform from a 10-win team on the verge of the playoffs to a six-win dud?

Because this is the NFL: Where weird things happen.

Follow my bouncing ball of pessimism.

All of our worst fears about Trestman turn out to be true.

He’s a nice enough guy, but he’s in over his head as an NFL coach.

His playbook is too compli-

cated. His personality is too stiff. His ultra-super-duper-fast practice pace wears thin on players.

Worst of all, his relationship with Cutler quickly deteriorates into TurnerMartzTice-ness.

We’ve watched this movie before. Cutler starts out by saying all of the right things. The Bears hang in there for a bit. All is well – or, at least, all is well enough.

But then injuries strike – hello, Brandon Marshall’s hip!

The offensive line reverts to being a mess. Cutler slips into his bad habits, floating passes off of his back foot and trying to weave passes into double or triple coverage when a smarter alternative exists.

Oh, and the defense is officially old. Buy it a retirement gift.

Maybe in another division, things could have been different.

But the NFC North is tough. The Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions all have talent.

The Bears have questions.

Big ones. And that championship window is closing fast.

Trestman faces tall order of getting most out of inconsistent Cutler • ARKUSH Continued from page C1 find playing in front of Cutler a lot different than protecting Drew Brees.

And what if it turns out Martellus Bennett is no more than the journeyman tight end he’s been his first five years in the league?

All of that would just mean the offense hasn’t been fixed. But where things really could get ugly is if the defense that has carried this franchise over the past decade or more is no longer the dominant force it has been.

Brian Urlacher was the face of the franchise for the past 13 years, and he is now retired. D.J. Williams will be more athletic than the injured Urlacher was last year, but it’s unrealistic to believe he can be the force Urlacher was. Israel Indonije was the Bears’ second-best defensive lineman, and he’s now in Detroit. The Bears are counting on 2012 first-round draft choice Shea McClellan to emerge as a force in Indonije’s spot, but if he doesn’t, the Bears will struggle to rush the passer consistently, and that will have a ripple effect throughout the defense.

For this defense to carry the Bears for stretches of the season, Julius Peppers, Lance Briggs and Charles Tillman will have to play like the AllPros they’ve been. As each marches deeper into his mid-30s, particularly after seeing how quickly Urlacher’s impact diminished, their ability to do that is a major concern.

Finally, injuries always are a concern, and I hate to even go there as we never want to see anyone get hurt. But this is a team with virtually no depth or young talent on the rise because of the failures of the Jerry Angelo regime in the draft. Should either Cutler, Peppers or Briggs be forced to miss significant time with injuries, the Bears will have no chance of playing in the postseason.

The worst-possible case for the 2013 Bears is that the offense fails to improve and Cutler, once again, finds more wrong with what they’re doing than right; the defense fails to produce the takeaways that have been its staple in recent seasons and is unable to keep games close; and Peppers, Briggs and Tillman all start their slides down the backside of the hill.

Fear that perfect storm, because, if it happens, the Bears will be a 4-12 or 5-11 team, and the fix will be at least a few years down the road.

Thankfully, that’s out of the way.

And just for the record, I don’t believe there’s any chance the worst case will become reality. I also don’t believe the 2013 Bears are going to the Super Bowl, but under the heading of a bestcase scenario for this season, there is a road map the Bears could follow there.

BEST-CASE SCENARIO There are a number of highly respected NFL insiders that I’ve spoken with the past few months who believe Trestman is an offensive savant, and that Cutler is exactly what he needs

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

Jay Cutler has all the tools to be an elite NFL quarterback, writes Hub Arkush. to finally prove his genius to the rest of the league.

Anyone who knows anything about the game and has watched Cutler play knows he has unique gifts and more than enough physical ability to be an elite quarterback. The key is whether he will drink the Kool-Aid that Trestman serves.

Brandon Marshall is one of the best wide receivers in the league, and Matt Forte and Michael Bush are as good a one-two punch at running

back as you’ll find anywhere. While Bennett isn’t special, he’s a huge upgrade at tight end, and while the offensive line is unlikely to be special, it may be perfectly maleable to adequately accomplish exactly what Trestman wants to do.

If Alshon Jeffrey and Earl Bennett can still take one more giant step forward at wide receiver – what I’m about to say may sound like a foreign language no living Bears fan has ever heard – these 2013 Bears could boast a top-10 offense and swap points with the best of them.

The defense will not be as good as it was in 2012 and probably wouldn’t have been even if Urlacher, Idonije and Nick Roach were all back and they were still adding Williams and the two rookie linebackers. The defense scored nine touchdowns last season, and only one defense in NFL history has ever scored more.

But if another year of wear doesn’t slow Peppers, Briggs and Tillman, each unit will still be anchored by one of the best in the game at their positions. Corey Wooton was the most improved player on defense last year, and he, Henry Melton, Williams and Tim Jennings are capable of having big moments.

The other thing I love about the upside of this group is that I expect Sedrick Ellis to prove to be one of the biggest steals of 2013 in free agency, and I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see him return to his Pro Bowl form under Mel Tucker.

The defense will allow more yards

and more points than it did last year, most likely will have fewer turnovers, and, almost certainly, won’t score as many points. But it could very well be stout enough to win as many as 10 games again or possibly more with a vastly improved offense to take significant pressure off it.

One more cause for optimism is the schedule. True, based on last year’s performances, it appears to be a much tougher slate than 2012. But it doesn’t include San Francisco and Seattle, which both beat the Bears last year, and you won’t find Atlanta on it either. Those are the only three teams in the NFC that I really couldn’t in good conscience pick the Bears to beat short of some miraculous fall off from those clubs this year. And it’s quite possible the Steelers and Ravens, whom the Bears will face, could be looking at somewhat sub-par years next to what we’ve come to expect from them in recent seasons.

Again, I just can’t see this team in the Super Bowl this year. But if everything I’ve laid out goes right, it’s not impossible to imagine the Bears in an NFC title game against the Niners, Seahawks or Falcons. Much like that 4-12 disaster I diagrammed above, I don’t see the Bears in the NFC title game, but it won’t be the craziest thing that’s ever happened if it does.

Tip of the Week People share a lot when a dog or cat is part of the family. Unfortunately, one trait that far too many owners and pets have in common is excess weight.

Two-thirds of U.S. adults and 55 percent of U.S. pets are considered overweight, according to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (20092010) and the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention 2012 Pet Obesity Study.

The silver lining is that while many pets and their owners are tipping the scales, losing weight is something they can do together, as people and pets make great weight loss partners for reasons both scientific and psychological.

Walk before you run: If you and your pet are new to an exercise program, set short-term, manageable goals and gradually increase the level of difficulty and duration as the two of you work together toward your activity goals.

Play together: Throw a ball and do lunges or squats while your dog runs to fetch, or race to get the ball first. Cats love chasing toys, too, and can even be taught to retrieve.

Connect mealtime with exercise: Before breakfast or dinner, squeeze in a short walk.

Teach your dog to earn his treat by performing a trick first. Have your cat hunt for its food by hiding kibble in different places around the house.

Drink up: Always hydrate, before and after exercise and throughout the day. Sometimes thirst can be confused with hunger, so make sure you and your pets always have a full water bowl.

CHILDREN’S HEALTH Veggie tips Peas, carrots, broccoli and spinach – some kids love vegetables, but many do not. Luckily, there are plenty of creative ways to increase the amount of veggies in your kids’ diets, including blending them into a smoothie, making homemade juices, pureeing veggies into pasta sauce or making spaghetti squash “noodles,” and adding them to a cheesy soup or a sweet treat, such as a spinach-lime sorbet with fruit juice.

SENIOR HEALTH Vision loss Severe vision loss is a reality for people with agerelated macular degeneration, a disease of the retina that affects more than 9.1 million people in the U.S. As the baby boomer population continues to grow, the occurrence of AMD is likely to grow with it.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the baby boomer population will increase to 72 million by 2030, placing roughly 20 percent of the U.S. population at risk for AMD. At this time, there is no cure for AMD and no way to reverse its effects, although there are advanced treatments.

ealth apps such as My Fitness Pal are turning smartphones and tablets into exercise aides, blood pressure monitors and devices that transmit an EKG. And the day is not far off when doctors may be suggesting apps along with prescribing drugs to help patients manage their health. But the explosion of apps is way ahead of tests to determine which ones work.

Christine Porter is hooked on the My Fitness Pal app. In October, after deciding to lose 50 pounds, Porter started typing in everything she eats, drinks and any exercise she gets.

“This is like my main page here,” says Porter, who lost 42 pounds in nine months. “It’s telling me I have about 1,200 calories remaining for the day.

When I want to record something I just click the ‘add to diary’ button. I’m on it all day either through my phone or through the computer.”

Porter heard about the app from Ryan Sherman, her health coach at a clinic for employees of Massachusetts General Hospital. Sherman helps clients turn a doctor’s orders into a user friendly action plan for keeping high blood pressure or sugar levels in check.

Increasingly, says Sherman, patients with diabetes or heart problems are coming in, pulling out their phones, and saying hey, have you seen this app?

“There’s a new one every day, so it’s trying to keep up with that,” Sherman says.

Patients take the lead, doctors grapple with new medical frontier

Help wanted Which is one reason why many doctors are suggesting, but not prescribing apps. Doctors aren’t sure which of the roughly 40,000 available apps do what they claim to do. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration divides health apps into two categories: those that help with healthy lifestyles and those that turn your phone into a medical device to, say, record blood pressure or an EKG, and then send those readings to a doctor.

The FDA is revising regulations for apps in the medical device category. It does not plan to regulate diet or exercise apps. A few private companies are stepping in to do that task. Ben Chodor started Happtique, a company that reviews apps and gives those are at least perform correctly, a seal of approval.

“It’s the Wild West and someone needs to come in and at least help the consumers and the clinicians and the payers sort through the 40,000-plus apps that are already out there,” says Chodor.

Happtique will not say which apps work better than others or guarantee their safety. Still, some doctors say apps that work are transforming medicine. Dr. Eric Topol, the chief academic officer at Scripps Health in San Diego, says apps that monitor blood pressure or glucose rates can be more valuable than prescriptions to keep these conditions in check.

“When we use a medication we don’t know if it’s going to work or not. It’s much better when a per-

son’s taking their blood pressure on a frequent basis,” says Topol.

Some apps work with another device, such as when a person wears a blood pressure monitor that transmits the data to the person’s phone.

“The average person looks at their smart phone 150 times a day,” says Topol. “All of a sudden, they’re able to diagnose if their blood pressure’s adequately controlled and what are the circumstances when it’s not.”

Topol says apps that control blood pressure will help prevent strokes and heart attacks and may mean doctors should prescribe phones

and tablets in addition to apps. But Dr. Laura Ferris at the University of Pittsburgh, urges patients to use apps cautiously.

At your own risk “It does make sense that people who download these apps and use them really understand that they are doing so at their own risk,” says Ferris.

Ferris ran a study of apps that claim to detect cancer based on a picture of a mole. Only one of the apps sends the picture of your suspicious mole to a dermatologist. It was right

98 percent of the time.

Three others, says Ferris, could be dangerously wrong: “The best of them missed melanoma 30 percent of the time. The worst of them missed melanoma over 90 percent of the time.”

Despite the growing interest in medical apps, there are many unresolved questions about their use: Should all the information patients collect become part of their medical record and how? Who in the doctor’s office analyzes patients’ numbers?

Will insurers cover the cost of apps?

Dr. Ben Crocker, at the Mass General clinic that is testing a few apps, says those are questions doctors will have to answer.

“This is what’s engaging patients,” says Crocker. “Patients are coming to their doc for the first time saying, ‘I’ve been collecting some information or I’ve been using this application.’ And that, I think we can’t ignore no matter where this is taking us, no matter how Wild West it feels.”

Baby’s crying could be cause of mom’s depression It’s 3 in the morning and your 1-month-old baby has just started to cry.

You hear the first few crying grunts and pray that it will stop before a full crying episode takes place. But no, the crying only intensifies, and that means you have to get out of bed to see why the baby is crying.

Is the baby hungry or need a diaper change? The baby just seems to be irritable and there is nothing you can do to get the baby to stop crying. This results in a miserable night for you and the baby.

There are various causes of prolonged crying. Colic is one of them. Colic is defined

VIEWS Dr. Murray Feingold as episodes of crying and fussiness that last greater than three hours per day for at least three days a week and for at least three weeks.

Typically, symptoms of colic peak at about 6 weeks of age and resolve by 3 months of age. Prior studies have shown that mothers of babies who have colic have an increased incidence of depression.

There are also babies who do not have colic but have

prolonged periods of inconsolable crying greater than 20 minutes each day that cannot be soothed.

A study was recently done to determine the presence of depression in mothers of babies who had colic and mothers of babies who had prolonged inconsolable crying but did not have colic. Results showed that maternal depression was present in both groups but the association with depression was stronger in mothers of babies who did not have colic.

It was theorized that the mothers of non-colic inconsolable crying babies became frustrated over their

failed attempts to console their babies. This can lead to feelings of helplessness and failure resulting in maternal depression.

Therefore, prolonged infant crying, no matter what the cause, may have significant ramifications affecting both mother and child thus making it important that the parents and the baby’s doctor address this issue.

At times the irritability maybe due to gastroesophageal reflux disease and this can be treated with medications.

But no matter what the cause of the prolonged crying, the baby’s doctor can provide guidance and

treatment suggestions that can help relieve the crying episodes.

During this difficult period mothers need support and reassurance that the crying will end and they are not an inadequate parent.

Creativity by the yard: Thinking beyond grass

By DEAN FOSDICK The Associated Press

Grass isn’t always the best groundcover for a yard: It’s thirsty at a time when water is becoming scarce; it attracts fewer pollinators; it requires expensive chemicals to maintain, and it must be disposed of if you bag as you mow.

That’s why many property owners are downsizing their lawns or simply eliminating turf grass in exchange for something more functional and less demanding.

“We’re recommending ecosystem changes provided by a more productive landscape, instead of a monoculture from grass,” says Susan Barton, an extension horticulturist with the University of Delaware. “A lawn should not be a default vegetation, but it should be more purposeful.

More diverse.”

She suggests four alternatives to turf grass: landscape beds, meadows, woods and paved, permeable hardscapes.

“All of these provide more ecologic service,” she says. “We’re talking clean water. More habitat for insects. More oxygen taken in and less carbon dioxide given off.”

Barton helped get a county landscape ordinance passed a decade or so ago allowing “managed meadows” to replace grass in residential front yards. These no-mow areas filter

The front entry of this home has more eye appeal after the lawn was reclaimed using shrubs, trees, flowering perennials and a walkway rather than turf grass. water, encourage the return of native plants that provide food and cover for wildlife, and still have curb appeal.

“A managed meadow isn’t simply a matter of letting your grass grow long,” she says. “It means mowing paths through it and adding edges where needed. If people think about it and make it look good, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be part of

suburbia.”

Downsizing or replacing turf isn’t simple or cheap, but it can be done in stages. Start with your toughest-togrow or hardest-to-mow sections.

“Use the 80-20 plan where 20 percent of your area requires 80 percent of your maintenance,” says Evelyn Hadden, a founding member of the Lawn Reform Coalition and author of

“Beautiful No-Mow Yards” (Timber Press, 2012).

“Hillsides are a good example,” Hadden says. “The steeper they are, the more difficult they are to mow.

Replaced with the proper plants, they can moderate (water) runoff.”

Other replaceable options include boulevards, driveways and pockets overgrown by weeds or moss.

“Look first at areas where the grass is already suffering – “that strip along the street that’s hard to water or trampled by people getting off the bus,” says Pam Penick, a garden designer from Austin, Texas, and author of “Lawn Gone!: LowMaintenance, Sustainable, Attractive Alternatives for Your Yard” (Ten Speed Press, 2013).

Use ecological grasses if you don’t want to eliminate turf, Penick says.

“Fine fescue lawns grow slowly and can get by with less rainfall and less mowing. Those are good options for people who want to fit in with their neighborhoods but don’t want to be slaves to their lawns,” she says.

Or “consider ornamental grasses,” she adds, or “some of the new groundcovers (aromatic herbs, succulents, low-growing shrubs, ferns, hosta). Edibles. Larger shrubs. You can have a nice looking yard yet be conservation-minded.”

Any lawn renovation project should be regionally appropriate, however.

“What we’re really talking about is using native vegetation,” says the University of Delaware’s Barton. “Xeriscaping is a great concept for the Southwest or areas that are dry, but those kinds of plants would drown here. Rain gardens would be a better addition given the amount of moisture we’ve had recently.”

How to get the most out of your container herb garden The WASHINGTON POST Beautiful, delicious, aromatic and self-sufficient, herbs represent a form of perfection in the garden.

Culinary herbs are singularly suited to growing in pots and other containers – they love a dry, airy perch. People love them, too: You can position a potted herb garden almost anywhere with a bit of sunlight, on a breezeway, a balcony, a front stoop or a back patio. The only criterion, other than sunlight, is that it be handy, so you can snip what you need for the kitchen. Herbs love to be trimmed; they respond by growing bushier.

May is the month for assembling your herbs. The weather is warm enough, finally, to please heat seekers, such as basil and lemongrass, and to coax mint into life for Kentucky Derby juleps. And if I haven’t quite conveyed how easy, inexpensive and foolproof it is to grow herbs in pots, and how badly I want you to do this, let me just say: GROW HERBS IN POTS. Here’s how to do it:

Containers The larger the container, the better. A greater volume of soil moderates root temperatures, re-

tains moisture and allows room for crowded herbs to grow. A 14-inchdiameter pot is ideal for housing four to six herbs, don’t go with anything smaller. Forms, colors and materials vary widely.

If you are on a budget, a simple plastic or basic clay pot costing a few dollars will work. If you have deeper pockets and want to make more of a design statement, you can find glazed ceramic pots for about $30 to $60, smart terra cotta pots from $40 to $100, and high-design concrete or resin pots for as much as $200 or more. Metal containers can look stylish, but they can get uncomfortably hot in summer, as can black or dark-hued pottery.

All pots must drain freely, so make sure they have at least one drainage hole. Decorative “feet” – three to a pot – are cheap and can make a vital difference in preventing waterlogged roots, especially if the pot sits directly on concrete or stone paving. A grouping of pots can provide a focal point and expand your range of herbs, but avoid lots of little pots. Three beefy pots of different diameters and heights can look great, define a corner of a patio, or visually lighten corners and walls.

Soil No potted plant will thrive in poor, dense soil. Don’t use garden soil or stuff left over from last year’s pots. The classic general purpose potting soil is a peat-based mixture with perlite and limestone, often with compost and vermiculite added.

You can make your own or buy bags that are ready-made. For herbs, particularly Mediterranean herbs such as rosemary and lavender, some gardeners like to add some gravel or chicken grit to the mix to aid drainage. Adding sand might not help so much.

Planting combinations In creating any effective container garden, the pros give plants three distinct roles: as an upright accent, as a lower-growing mound and as a trailing plant. They are known in the trade as “thrillers, fillers and spillers.” The same principle applies to potted herb gardens. We asked Adam Pyle, horticulturist at the U.S. Botanic Garden, for some of his favorite herb combinations:

Wife of alcoholic should not be buying him booze Dear Abby: It happened again today. I was buying several bottles of wine and a six-pack of beer along with my other groceries. While I was standing in the checkout line, someone behind me said the predictable, “I wish I was going home with you!”

I’m married to an alcoholic, and it makes me so sad people think a lot of alcohol is “fun.” It’s a tragedy for our family to see a great husband, father and grandfather slip into a stupor each day. It wasn’t always this way. Sadly, he has changed so much he is hardly recognizable.

I’m asking those out and about to think before you comment, because alcohol is not something to celebrate. – Wife Of An Alcoholic Down South Dear Wife: Why are you buying large quantities of liquor for your alcoholic husband? When you do, you enable him to feed his addiction.

If I ever heard of someone who should attend Al-Anon meetings, it is you. Al-Anon was started by the wife of an alcoholic who was just like your husband. When you go, you will meet other wives whose husbands’ drinking is also out of control.

If you would prefer a secular organization, an alternative program to contact would be SMART Recovery. Its

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Family and Friends program was created for loved ones who are affected by someone’s addiction. If there isn’t a meeting in your area, you can attend one online. Go to www.smartrecovery.org and click on Online Meetings and Activities to register. Please don’t wait. These organizations can help both you and your husband.

Dear Abby: On behalf of my fellow museum docents, I’m asking you to educate your readers about how to behave when they visit our nation’s historic buildings. The most important rule is: Do Not Touch Anything.

This includes the walls and woodwork. Even the cleanest hands have skin oils that can damage a finish.

Next, do not lean against the walls or doorways because this, too, may damage original paint, wood finishes or carved details.

If ropes are blocking access to part of the room, do not go beyond them. The dirt on your shoes can damage carpets. If a door is closed or only half open, do not move it.

cent In Portland, Ore. Dear Docent: Your letter deserves space in my column because people sometimes forget when touring historic buildings they are not in their own homes, but in fact are in museums. May I add one more tip to your list: It is always a good idea to ask permission before using a camera with a flashbulb.

Docents are individuals who study their subjects intensively, and then function as unpaid teachers who transmit their knowledge to visitors in institutions such as museums, art galleries and zoos. They perform an important service and should be treated with respect for the time and effort they put forth to prepare themselves for it.

planter, he placed four plants: an upright rosemary, rue, a silver-leafed curry plant (Helichrysum italicum) and a variety of oregano named Kent Beauty.

Floral twist In a blue glazed pot, Pyle assembled a lot of curly parsley, which flopped and functioned as both filler and spiller. For height he used the feathery bronze fennel alongside a small-leafed and variegated form of basil named Pesto Perpetuo. To provide some visual punch, he added two annuals with edible blooms: Nasturtium (whose peppery leaves also spice up a salad) and a common marigold. Another group of marigolds, called Signet marigolds, have finer leaves and flowers and are well suited to the herb container.

Standard herb combo In a green ceramic pot, Pyle selected five herbs that tolerate moisture (with adequate drainage). As a thriller, he put in a small bell pepper plant.

His was unnamed, but I suggest a diminutive and fruitful sweet bell pepper named Golden Baby Belle. He added dill (variety Bouquet), which

is a cool-season herb. Once it flags in the heat of early summer, you could replace it with a scented geranium.

He added a red-leafed basil variety and a nasturtium from a group called Alaska, which are more heat-tolerant than other nasturtiums. He finished the ensemble with a trailing common oregano named Hot and Spicy.

Culinary Mediterranean Pyle likes to put dry-loving Mediterranean herbs in clay pots, which are porous and wick moisture from the soil more rapidly than other types of containers. He also adds extra drainage by placing gravel or other small stones at the base of the pot, incorporating chicken grit into the soil and topping it off with a mulch of small pebbles. You could use washed pea gravel. Pyle employs an expanded glass product named Growstone.

In this recipe, he used rue (not used much as a culinary herb, but with a lovely blue-green fine texture), a novel variety of chives named ChaCha, silver santolina, the English lavender Hidcote, compact with indigo blooms, and a caraway-scented thyme, noted for its caraway flavor, fine texture and rot resistance.

Sleep problems have many causes Dear Dr. K: I fall asleep just fine, but then I wake up around 4 a.m. It’s too early to get up, but I can’t fall back asleep. Help!

Dear Reader: Practically everyone has sleep problems occasionally. And a lot of people have sleep problems often. Sometimes it’s trouble falling asleep. Sometimes, as in your case, it’s trouble staying asleep. And sometimes it’s just waking up unrefreshed, even though you think you’ve slept soundly.

Sleep doctors call waking up in the middle of the night “sleep-maintenance insomnia.” That’s difficulty staying asleep, particularly waking too early and struggling to get back to sleep.

When my patients tell me they keep waking up at night for no good reason, I ask them if they wake up once or repeatedly. Sometimes they wake up just once, a few hours before they want to wake up – as seems to be the case with you. That can be a sign of depression, even in people who aren’t aware that they are depressed.

At least as often, patients say they wake up multiple times at night, not just early in the morning. There’s no

Read all about it ...

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff good reason: The dog isn’t barking, the baby isn’t crying, a car hasn’t driven by the house playing its radio too loud. They just wake up.

Sometimes the problem is a stressful day. You lay your head on the pillow, and events from the day keep streaming through your brain. You’ll benefit from relaxation techniques. We’ve discussed those before in this column, so no more detail here. Consider meditation, deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation or biofeedback.

Sometimes the problem is stimulants – stimulant medicines or an alcoholic “nightcap” before bed. Alcohol makes many people sleepy and helps them fall asleep.

But a few hours into sleep, alcohol becomes a stimulant to the brain and causes people to awaken easily.

Sometimes the problem is pain. A person with arthritis, for example, may have joints that ache – not so much that they are aware

of pain during the night, but enough to stimulate the brain. Some people with this problem sleep a lot better if they take an aspirin or acetaminophen pain pill at bedtime.

When depression, life stresses, stimulants or pain are not the cause, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be helpful. Working with a therapist, you’ll learn new ways to think about your sleep problems and develop better strategies for dealing with those problems.

For example, you may believe you need eight hours of sleep and you won’t be able to function the next day if you don’t get that much.

Some people do need an average of eight hours a night, but still can function fine after one or two nights of less sleep. CBT can help change such beliefs, making it easier to relax and fall back asleep.

Finally, I’ve put a list of so-called “sleep hygiene” tips – habits that promote healthful sleep – on my website.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - There are strong indications that you could become involved in a very unique endeavor in the year ahead. Whatever it is, it will turn out quite well with your help.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Although you usually fare better when you have lots of time to ponder a decision, a snap judgment will turn out quite well today. Don’t second-guess yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are in a brief, favorable cycle where your financial affairs are concerned.

Be alert and ready to move quickly should an unexpected, potentially profitable development come your way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You might be more inclined to think about pleasure than work. Fortunately, you should be able to enjoy yourself without it interfering with or distracting you from your job.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A number of little things that you failed to finish will demand some attention. However, you’ll enjoy sweeping the deck clean.

Sometimes, it’s nice to have a clean slate.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Something quite fortuitous could develop through a friend you run into by chance. You and this person have always been able to help each other quite well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Although you’re usually exceptionally lucky where your material interests are concerned, you’re not always necessarily so in other areas. So, keep your mind on making money, and don’t worry about other things, today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don’t be reluctant to discard any old, unworkable methods in favor of newer and better procedures. This might be one of those days when it pays to switch horses in midstream.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Someone you treated very considerately in the past has been very eager to repay you, and today might bring that chance.

Accept this person’s attempt at reciprocation with a glad heart and open arms.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It would behoove you to socialize with some progressive thinkers today.

You’ll easily recognize clever ideas when you hear them, and you’ll know exactly how to put them to use.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Be on the lookout for some innovative ideas, especially some that may apply to an area that has been causing you concern. Make your move quickly, however; time may not be your ally.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A person of foreign heritage or one born in a distant place is likely to play a constructive role in your affairs. Be alert, so you can take full advantage of this person’s help.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- This could be an exciting day, especially regarding a joint endeavor of some kind. An extraordinary happening might develop that you’ll want to be a part of.

Tuesday, July 23, 2013 • Page D7

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

Michel de Montaigne, a 16th-century French essayist, said, “My trade and art is to live.”

A bridge player should live with the “trade” acronym in his mind, whether as declarer or a defender. The second letter stands for read the lead. Third hand should use the information being supplied by the opening lead to guide his defense -- as in this example deal.

South is in four spades.

West leads the heart two.

What should East do after declarer calls for dummy’s three?

Note that South’s jump to four spades almost guarantees at least a ive-card suit. Since North can raise to two spades with only threecard support when he has a singleton somewhere, if South has only four spades and suficient strength at least to try for game, he should rebid in no-trump or another suit. If North has four spades, he will commit to that suit. (Well, if he is exactly 4-3-3-3 with four weak spades, he might pass out three no-trump.)

There seem to be two ways to try to gain four defensive tricks: one heart

and three clubs, hoping declarer has king-third of clubs and West ace-third; or three hearts and one blacksuit trick. First, though, what was West’s lead?

His lowest heart, and when a defender leads an unbid suit (at any trick), low from length guarantees at least one honor in that suit.

And given the board, what honor must West hold?

Right -- the king. So East should play his jack, expecting to win the trick, cash his heart ace, and play a third heart. Later, West’s spade ace will defeat the contract.
