UNIVERSITY PARK – After decades of dispute, the possibility of a third airport in the Chicago area finally materialized Thursday as Gov. Pat Quinn signed a wide-ranging bill that’ll put state transportation officials in charge of the hub and allow them to spend $71 million on land.

Hopeful talk of a south suburban airport has dominated this economically struggling area since the 1970s and spanned the careers of numerous politicians, including former Gov. Pat U . S . R e p . J e s s e Quinn Jackson Jr. But movement was stalled by fights over local control, revenue and environmental impact, as well as whether it was necessary, given the metropolitan area already is served by two major airports.

Quinn and other lawmakers touted the project Thursday as an economic starter for the area south of Chicago, estimated to create 14,000 jobs when it’s functional. The bill Quinn signed was also jam-packed with unrelated projects, including allowing local entities to set up financing for a new 10,000-seat DePaul University sports arena near Lake Michigan and offering tax credits for fertilizer plants.

GENERAL INFORMATION: 815-459-4040

Learning to play instrument no snap of the fingers I lack rhythm, and I blame it on my inability to snap my fingers, which is so easy to do that the phrase is a cliché.

As in, I can do that by snapping my fingers; or when I snap my fingers, you will wake up, a favorite of hypnotists; or the job will be done in the snap of my fingers. Snapping your fingers means it will be done quickly and easily.

Hence, everyone should be able to snap their fingers. Not me.

I knew about snapping fingers when I was a very young child, but I wasn’t put on the spot until third or fourth grade when Mrs. Allrich, our music teacher, had everyone in class snapping their fingers to the beat of the music.

Except me and a few others. How hard could it be? It’s just a snap of the fingers, after all.

She offered a suggestion to those of us who couldn’t snap, and that was to make a clicking sound with our tongues, kind of like lip-synching with your fingers. And if you really wanted to identify the rhythmically disabled, clicking your tongue when everyone else was grooving to the music was the way to go. I could barely clap to the beat.

Maybe that’s why I could never make sense of sheet music, which was

8LOTTERY

VIEWS Dick Peterson a foreign language to me. All of it was explained thoroughly, but none of it sunk in. I’m looking this information up in “Yamaha Recorder Student” by Sandy Feldstein, which claims boldly on the cover: “A fun, musical way to learn to play the recorder and read music!” Her exclamation mark, not mine.

There is the five-lined staff that music is written on, and each line and space is very important. There are whole, half and quarter notes, each with its own symbol, telling you how many beats it gets. There are rests, again, whole, half and quarter beats.

There is the handsome treble clef, which establishes the G note on the second line of the staff.

Then there are the notes on the staff: E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E and F. Yes. E and F repeat on different lines or spaces on the staff. Then there is an introduction to rhythm of measures: bar lines, double bars and the signature.

And you snap your fingers to the rhythm of the music that is right in front of you. Unless, of course, you

can’t snap your fingers and you can’t read the music.

I still can’t snap my fingers, but when another cleaning sweep of the basement was done recently, the recorder and clarinet that our children learned to play were found, along with the booklets that teach the student how to play, first starting with reading music and making the instruments play the notes to “Merrily We Roll Along,” and I still can’t get the tune in my head to that classic.

I love the sound of the clarinet, and one of my favorite pieces of music is Mozart’s “Clarinet Concerto in A, K.622” performed by Sabine Meyer. I know. Catchy title.

And I want to play the clarinet in the worst way.

But my young stepdaughter who gave up the recorder and the clarinet at too early an age, as did our other children, recommends I start with the recorder and work my way up to the clarinet, which is a complicated-looking instrument with holes and levers.

In the right hands, they can make beautiful music. I’d settle for learning how to read music and play it just OK. “Oh! That’s ‘Hot Cross Buns’! Magnifico!”

I’ve always wanted to learn to play an instrument, to make music, but I didn’t want to learn when I was

a child. If I couldn’t read music, I certainly couldn’t play an instrument.

With singing, you can kind of catch on after a few times around, and sing without knowing what the music in front of you meant.

And I can bang out “Mary Had a Little Lamb” on the piano. It’s not a really fast, upbeat version, but the listener knows what he or she is hearing. “Ah, ‘Mary Had a Little Lamb.’

Beautiful!” No such luck.

But the clarinet and recorder have been cleared out of the basement – it’s amazing what you find down there still after all these years of emptying it – and are now in the kitchen next to the refrigerator, waiting for the next move: out the door or into my hands.

If fourth-graders can be successfully introduced to the recorder and play concerts in front of a gym full of parents, certainly I can master “Au Clare de la Lune” by the end of the summer. Or the fall.

I ought to learn in the snap of my fingers. Which is an ominous sign, come to think of it.

Starting high school later may help sleepy teens NEW YORK – Quinn Cooney of Mill Creek, Wash., is excited about starting high school in September, but she’s not looking forward to waking up at 5:30 a.m. to arrive on time. Classes for ninth-graders start at 7:30 a.m., 45 minutes earlier than they did in middle school.

harder to get up,” said Quinn, 13. “I do think it is better to start early so that we can be finished early and do things after school, but I am worried that if I have a boring class for my first period that it will be hard to stay awake.”

Decades of sleep research have confirmed what parents know: It’s hard for teenagers to wake up early. Some high schools have adopted

late starts around 8:30 a.m. to improve attendance and performance. But other districts say it’s too complicated to shift schedules because of logistics involving buses and after-school activities.

About 40 percent of U.S. public high schools open before 8 a.m., according to the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics, with just 15

In districts where early starts are necessary because the same bus does multiple runs for high school, middle school and elementary students, teens often get the early shift.

Still, advocates say several studies show the benefits of late start schools outweigh the drawbacks.

Illinois comptroller says she can’t pay lawmakers

By TAMMY WEBBER The Associated Press CHICAGO – Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka said Thursday that she has no choice but to withhold lawmakers’ paychecks, citing a precedent-setting court case that bars her from paying state employees without a budget appropriation or court order.

Gov. Pat Quinn cut $13.8 million for legislators’ paychecks from a budget bill earlier this month, saying it wouldn’t be restored until lawmakers addressed the state’s $97 billion pension shortfall.

He also suspended his own pay.

“It is my deep hope that this matter is resolved expeditiously,” either by a court or by lawmakers agreeing on a

solution to the pension crisis, said Topinka, who undertook a legal review to determine if Quinn’s actions were constitutional. The Riverside Republican said Thursday that Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office advised her of the case that appears to bar her from acting.

She called Quinn’s actions a “serious precedent that is being created,” and said the stalemate was “no way to run government.”

“Threats, blackmail and inertia may be good theater, but it makes us look ridiculous and takes away from our ability to get things done,” she said. “It is time for leaders to lead.”

Lawmakers are scheduled to receive their next paychecks on Aug. 1.

Dozens of workers sprayed in cornfield No serious injuries for teens at farm

By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press URBANA – Almost 80 teenagers were expected to be sent home from an eastern Illinois hospital Thursday after being accidentally sprayed with fungicide from a crop-dusting plane as they worked in a cornfield, officials said.

The 79 teens were decontaminated by firefighters at the field just outside Pesotum and then taken to the Carle Foundation Hospital’s emergency room in Urbana to be treated for what appeared to be minor ailments, hospital officials said.

Emergency room director Allen Rinehart said some of the teen workers had irritated skin but that they were all stable and being released to their parents as they were seen.

“There’s been a couple that have had minor irritations, but nothing significant,” Rinehart said as the last group of teens, wearing blue jumpsuits and many carrying coolers and lunch

boxes, stood nearby waiting to enter the emergency room.

Many joked and talked as they waited.

The teenagers were detasseling corn when the chemical drifted over them from a plane that was crop-dusting an adjacent field, said Tom Helscher, a spokesman for Monsanto, the St. Louis-based company using the field to produce seed corn. Pesotum is about 15 miles south of Urbana.

Brad Rollings’ 13-year-old son, Tyler, was one of those sprayed with the chemical.

“He said that he heard the plane go over the top and it felt like it was raining for a minute, and then he said they hollered at them to get out of the field,” Rollings, who is from nearby Villa Grove, said outside the hospital. He said his son seemed fine and expected him to be released soon.

“As soon as he called me, he kept telling me over and over, ‘Dad, I’m fine, you don’t need to come pick me up,’” Rollings said.

The accident happened just before 8:40 a.m., Champaign County acting Deputy Fire Chief Dave Ferber said.

Constitution says changes in lawmaker salary should not take effect during the term in which they were elected. But Quinn cited the prior court ruling and said he isn’t changing their salary, just withholding the money to pay it.

Quinn, a Chicago Democrat who used his line-item veto power in a budget bill to suspend the pay as a way to spur lawmakers to action, issued a statement saying Topinka came to the right conclusion and reiterating his vow to hold fast on his decision.

“Nobody should be paid until the job gets done for taxpayers,” Quinn said.

Senate President John Cullerton believes Quinn’s actions raise “serious constitutional issues” and is reviewing his legal options, a spokeswoman said.

Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka speaks at a news conference Thursday in Chicago. Topinka says she has no choice but to withhold paychecks from Illinois lawmakers.

Lawmakers, who receive an annual salary of more than $67,000 and additional pay for leadership positions, would have to vote to reject Quinn’s changes if they want to be paid.

Quinn’s action “sets a very

poor constitutional precedent for the executive branch to try to force legislative action through a payroll decision,” said state Rep. Mike Zalewski, a Riverside Democrat who sits on a bipartisan committee looking at possible pension

solutions after the House and Senate deadlocked on an approach.

But Zalewski acknowledged that the governor’s action is resonating with average citizens “who just want to see us get something done.”

Nominee on defense as GOP boycotts Homeland Security choice investigated

By ALICIA A. CALDWELL The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama’s choice to be the No. 2 official at the Department of Homeland Security used his appearance before a Senate panel Thursday to adamantly deny allegations that he helped a politically connected company obtain a foreign investor visa.

But the lawmakers who may need the most convincing – the eight Republican members of the Senate Homeland Security Committee – weren’t in the room for the nearly twohour confirmaAlejandro tion hearing.

Mayorkas Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, the panel’s ranking Republican, said in a written statement that he wouldn’t participate in the hearing until the allegations against Alejandro Mayorkas are resolved.

The nomination hit a snag this week after The Associated Press reported that the department’s inspector general is investigating Mayorkas’ role in helping secure a foreign investor visa for Gulf Coast Funds Management, a company run by former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s brother Tony Rodham. The efforts on behalf of Gulf Coast allegedly occurred after the visa application had been denied and an appeal rejected.

Democrats didn’t shy from asking Mayorkas, currently the director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, to explain what he knew of the investigation, and he said he only learned about it on Monday night, at the same time as lawmakers.

Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri had to prod Mayorkas to forcefully deny the allegations.

“You’ve got to do a rebuttal here,” McCaskill said. “I don’t think you can talk around it.

Say what you want to say. You aren’t going to get another opportunity like this.”

Mayorkas told the committee that suggestions of impropriety on the visa matter were “unequivocally false” and that he had overseen the program “based on the law and the facts, and nothing else.”

“I have never, ever in my career exercised undue influence to influence the outcome of a case,” he said. “I have never based my decisions on who brings a case but rather on the facts and the law.”

It remained unclear when the committee would vote on the nomination.

8NATION BRIEF Remains of WWII airman identified in South Pacific ALBANY, N.Y. – The remains of a World War II airman have been identified and will be returned to his hometown for burial nearly 70 years after his plane and two others slammed into a remote, jungle-covered mountainside in the South Pacific.

DNA samples provided by relatives matched those of Sgt. Dominick Licari, who was 31 when his A-20 Havoc bomber crashed into a mountain in Papua-New Guinea on March 13, 1944.

Augustus “Mort” Licari said Thursday he and his only other surviving sibling, Katherine Frank, of Darien, Conn., were notified last week their brother’s bone fragments and dog tags were recovered last year at the crash site by a team from the U.S. Joint POW-MIA Accounting Command.

Muted after 9/11, NSA critics find voice

By CALVIN WOODWARD The Associated Press WASHINGTON – After 9/11, there were no shades of gray. There are plenty now.

The vigorous debate over the collection of millions of Americans’ phone records, underlined by a narrow House vote upholding the practice, buried any notion that it’s out of line, even unpatriotic, to challenge the national security efforts of the government.

Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and liberals, joined in common cause against the Obama administration’s aggressive surveillance, falling just short Wednesday night against a similarly jumbled and determined coalition of leaders and lawmakers who supported it.

It’s not every day you see Republican Speaker John Boehner and Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi facing off together against their own parties’ colleagues – with an assist from Rep. Michele Bachmann, no less – to help give President Barack Obama what he wanted. But that’s what it took to overcome efforts to restrict the

AP file photo

The National Security Agency campus is shown in Fort Meade, Md. The vigorous debate over the government’s national security efforts has re-emerged after a lull following the 9/11 attacks.

National Security Agency’s surveillance program.

After the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, President George W. Bush warned the world “either you are with us or you are with the terrorists,” period, and few politicians objected to anything the U.S. wanted to do for its national security.

That remarkable political consensus cracked in the bog

of the Iraq war, and argument returned, but the government has had little trouble holding on to its extraordinary counterterrorism tools.

What’s changed?

The passage of time, for one thing, and the absence of another attack on the scale of 9/11. Americans have also discovered, through Edward Snowden’s leaks, that surveillance doesn’t start at the

water’s edge or stop with terrorist plotters in the homeland, but sweeps in the phone records of ordinary people indiscriminately.

Even in the aftermath of 9/11, when large majorities told pollsters they were ready to trade some personal protections for greater security, any effort to monitor phone calls or emails of average people was considered a step too

far. In a Pew Research Center survey the week after the terrorist attacks, 70 percent said no to that.

Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona says those days have faded and the political climate has changed.

“The stuff we went through last year about detainees we never would have gone through in 2002,” he said Thursday. He was referring to the debate in Congress for two years straight over the indefinite detention of terrorist suspects, even U.S. citizens captured within the nation’s borders.

The closeness of the House surveillance vote “says there’s great and widespread concern about the extent of the NSA’s activities,” McCain said, “and that’s why we need hearings in Congress.”

A Washington Post-ABC News poll released Wednesday found concern about privacy, with a majority saying the NSA’s collection of phone and Internet data intrudes on people’s rights.

Yet 57 percent said it’s more important for the government to investigate terrorist threats, even at a cost to privacy, than for it to put privacy first.

Obama officials strike back at Voting Rights ruling The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – The Obama administration opened an aggressive new front in the battle over voter protection Thursday, singling out Texas for legal action and promising broader efforts to come after last month’s Supreme Court ruling that wiped out a major provision of the Voting Rights Act. It was the administration’s first legal response to

counter the justices’ 5-4 decision, but Attorney General Eric Holder pledged that “it will not be our last.”

In a speech to the National Urban League in Philadelphia, Holder called the VotEric Holder ing Rights Act “the cornerstone of modern civil rights law” and said that “we cannot allow the slow unraveling of the progress that

so many, throughout history, have sacrificed so much to achieve.”

Texas Republicans suggested the administration effort was more about politics.

“This decision has nothing to do with protecting voting rights and everything to do with advancing a partisan political agenda,” Sen John Cornyn said after Holder’s speech.

Pope urges Catholics to shake up dioceses The ASSOCIATED PRESS RIO DE JANEIRO – Pope Francis showed his rebel side Thursday, urging young Catholics to shake up the church and make a “mess” in their dioceses by going out into the streets to spread the faith. It’s a message he put into practice by visiting one of Rio’s most violent slums and opening the church’s World Youth Day on a rain-soaked Copacabana Beach.

Francis was elected pope on a mandate to reform the church, and in four short months he has started doing just that: He has broken longheld Vatican rules on everything from where he lays his head at night to how saints are made. He has cast off his security detail to get close to

his flock, and his first international foray as pope has shown the faithful appreciate the gesture.

Dubbed the “slum pope” for his work with the poor, Francis received a rapturous welcome in the Varginha shantytown, part of a slum area of northern Rio so violent it’s known as the Gaza Strip.

The 76-year-old Argentine seemed entirely at home, wading into cheering crowds, kissing people young and old and telling them the Catholic Church is on their side.

“No one can remain insensitive to the inequalities that persist in the world!” Francis told a crowd of thousands who braved a cold rain and stood in a muddy soccer field to welcome him. “No amount

of peace-building will be able to last, nor will harmony and happiness be attained in a society that ignores, pushes to the margins or excludes a part of itself.”

It was a message aimed at reversing the decline in the numbers of Catholics in most of Latin America, with many poor worshippers leaving the church for Pentecostal and evangelical congregations.

Those churches have taken up a huge presence in favelas, or shantytowns such as Varginha, attracting souls with nuts-and-bolts advice on how to improve their lives.

The Varginha visit was one of the highlights of Francis’ weeklong trip to Brazil, his first as pope and one seemingly tailor-made for the first pontiff from the Americas.

Afghan insurgents finding new opening for IED attacks

By ROBERT BURNS The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The shrinking U.S. combat role in Afghanistan has given insurgents an opening to devise and carry out deadlier attacks using bigger improvised bombs against U.S. and coalition military vehicles and bases, American officials say.

With fewer U.S. forces patrolling road networks beyond their bases – and with the grounding of eye-in-the-sky surveillance balloons known as aerostats – Taliban fighters are adapting their tactics, according to officials at a Pentagon agency that tracks attacks that use improvised explosive devices, or IEDs. “Insurgents are able to invest more time in preparing and staging an attack, and when we see an effective attack, it tends to be more lethal

to our forces,” said Al Sweetser, chief of the operations analysis division at the Joint IED Defeat Organization, which has its own team of analysts on the ground in Afghanistan.

So while the number of IED attacks against U.S. and coalition troops – as well as the total casualties they cause – has declined, certain attacks can be more elaborately planned, precisely targeted and more lethal because the insurgents have time and room to prepare, Sweetser and other American officials said.

The Pentagon has invested billions of dollars to develop gadgets, such as hand-held ground-penetrating radar systems, and techniques to find IEDs before they explode and to mitigate damage from those that can’t be stopped.

The evolving struggle began a decade ago in Iraq with insurgent groups countering

high-tech U.S. weapons with relatively cheap and surprisingly effective methods of killing and maiming. A hallmark of the insurgents’ use of IEDs in Afghanistan has been their ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

A recent IED strike near the southern provincial capital of Kandahar killed five American soldiers in an armored vehicle in one of the more deadly examples of how the Taliban have taken advantage of a changing military landscape.

Insurgents took the time and effort to tunnel underground and place an unusually large improvised explosive well below the surface, said David Small, spokesman for the counter-IED agency. They also had time to plan where to position themselves to remotely detonate the bomb, Small said.

8NATION BRIEF Weiner: I messaged up to 3 women after resigning NEW YORK – Anthony Weiner said Thursday that he’d traded racy messages with as many as three women since similar sexting forced him out of Congress.

But as the former congressman tried to tamp down questions about his behavior, a poll suggested the new disclosures were taking a toll on his mayoral prospects and the House’s top Democrat excoriated him.

Facing a third day of renewed queries and criticism of his conduct as he continued campaigning for New York mayor, the married Democrat also said he’d had sexually charged exchanges with a total of six to 10 women; he’d previously capped that number at six.

Derailment probe focuses on speed Crash in Spain leaves 80 dead

By HERNAN MUNOZ The Associated Press SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, Spain – By all accounts, the train was going way too fast as it curled around a gentle bend. Then in an instant, one car tumbled off the track, followed by the rest of the locomotive, which seemed to come apart like a zipper being pulled.

The derailment sent pieces of the sleek train plowing across the ground in a ghastly jumble of smashed metal, dirt and smoke.

But a day after Spain suffered its deadliest rail disaster in decades – which killed 80 people and maimed scores of others – one question surpassed all others: Why was the train moving so fast?

Investigators opened a probe Thursday into possible failings by the 52-year-old driver and the train’s in-built speed-regulation systems.

Experts said one, or both, must be at fault for the disastrous Wednesday night crash of the train that was carrying 218 passengers and five crew members to Santiago de Compostela, a destination of Catholic pilgrimage preparing to celebrate its most revered saint.

Instead, this stunned city of nearly 100,000 converted its sports arena into a shelter for the dead and the grieving.

“All Spaniards feel the pain of the families,” said Spain’s head of state, King Juan Carlos, as he and Queen Sofia met hospitalized survivors of the

Derailed cars are removed Thursday as emergency personnel work at the site of a train accident in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. The train jumped the tracks on a curvy stretch, killing 80, just before arriving in the northwestern shrine city of Santiago de Compostela, a judicial official said. Video footage appeared to show the train going much faster than the track’s speed limit of 50 mph as it approached the city. crash south of Santiago de Compostela. The royal couple dressed in funereal black.

“For a native of Santiago like me, this is the saddest day,” said Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, who toured the crash scene and declared a national three-day mourning period.

The regional government of Galicia, in northwest Spain, said 94 people remained hospitalized, 31 of them in critical condition, including four children. The U.S. State Department said one American

died and at least five others were hurt but cautioned that those figures could be revised upward.

Many victims suffered severe burns as the train’s diesel fuel ignited a fire that caught some passengers trapped in mangled upside-down carriages. Emergency officials took DNA samples from the most heavily burned or the unconscious in an effort to identify both the living and the dead.

Rafael Catala, a senior transport official in Spain’s Development Ministry, told

radio network Cadena SER that the train appeared to be going much faster than the track’s speed limit of 50 mph as it approached the city.

Breathtaking footage of the crash captured by a railway security camera showed the moment when the eight-carriage train approached a left bend beneath a road bridge at a seemingly impossible speed.

An Associated Press analysis of the video indicated the train hit the bend going twice the speed limit or more.

Using the time stamp of the

video and the estimated distance between two pylons, the AP calculated that the train was moving in a range of 89 to 119 mph. Another estimate calculated on the basis of the typical distance between railroad ties indicated its speed was between 96 to 112 mph.

The anonymously posted video footage, which the Spanish railway authority Adif said probably came from one of its cameras, shows the train carriages buckling and leaving the tracks soon into the turn.

CL paid $230K in fire, police pensions in June • PENSIONS Continued from page A1

Jim Dallke – jdallke@shawmedia.com

Investigators inspect the crime scene in Harvard where two teenagers were found dead early Thursday morning. The deaths are being investigated as a presumed murder-suicide.

Andrade had warrant for arrest • HARVARD Continued from page A1 Andrade failed to appear in court, and the judge ultimately forfeited his bond on June 19, according to court records.

There has been an active warrant for Andrade’s failure to appear on those charges since May 8.

Claudia Robles lives in the Harvard neighborhood and was friends with Flores at

Harvard High School. Robles remembered her as easy to get along with and the type of person who would never judge anyone.

“It’s so heartbreaking,” Robles said, choking back tears.

This has been an especially difficult month for Robles, who also lost her 12-year-old cousin, Christian Robles, in a drowning accident July 8. His canoe tipped over in a retention pond just one block from Thursday’s incident.

“Three deaths in one month,” Robles said. “We don’t need this right now.”

The McHenry County Coroner’s Office is investigating this incident as a presumed murder-suicide.

The McHenry County Major Investigation Assistance Team is assisting with the investigation.

• Staff writer Chelsea McDougall contributed to this story.

Airport was focus for ex-Rep. Jackson • AIRPORT Continued from page A1 The focus of Thursday’s bravado, though, was the airport.

“When we have strong transportation ... that is a key way of growing your economy and helping this particular region,” Quinn said at Governors State University, not far from the proposed site. “This doesn’t come easy.”

The state already has spent about $40 million to acquire land for the project in an unincorporated stretch surrounded by several suburbs, including Peotone. The bill lets the Illinois Department of Transportation run the project, which will eventually be a public-private partnership.

The airport is expected to be a largely cargo hub

U.N.: Deaths in Syria at 100K

and offer passenger service.

Transportation officials have submitted a master plan to the Federal Aviation Administration, though no construction timeline was discussed Thursday.

Over the years, perhaps no public official brought more attention to the possible airport than Jackson, who considered it a pet project over his 17 years in office. But there was no mention of him or the long tensions over the airport. Jackson, a Chicago Democrat, resigned last year and is awaiting sentencing on federal charges that he misspent campaign funds.

Even those who did not like Jackson’s approach to the project – also a private-public partnership – agreed that he kept the issue in the headlines, at least initially. In later years of his tenure, members of his

staff suggested he may have hindered progress. Jackson held a symbolic ground breaking at the site last year though local officials remained opposed to the one-terminal, one-runway project.

“Former Congressman Jackson did nothing more than stall the airport for more than a decade,” said former Will County Board member Cory Singer, a Republican who focused on the airport during 10 years in office. “It never was going to happen.

For a decade it was nothing but a political battle.”

Before the plan hit Quinn’s desk, the proposal wasn’t free from criticism. It was introduced at the tail end of the spring legislative session and crammed with unrelated projects, something legislators at the time deemed a “Christmas tree bill.”

service, according to state statute. The monthly pension will be half the monthly salary attached to the rank of the employee at the time of his or her retirement.

The monthly pension for firefighters increases by one-twelfth of 2.5 percent for each additional month over 20 years of service to the 30year mark, up to a maximum of 75 percent of the monthly salary.

Law enforcement officers have similar eligibility, but the pension increases by 2.5 percent for each additional year of service after 20 years of service, up to 30 years.

As of 2011, the maximum pension amount has been capped at $106,800. Amounts also vary based on other factors, and penalties can be assessed depending on when a person retires.

The most common pension comes from retirement, but several others exist, including disability and surviving family, to name a few.

Pensions are funded through property taxes, tax levies, other revenue streams and contributions taken out of each employee’s paycheck.

The city of Crystal Lake paid out about $557,305.65 in police salaries and $435,844.78 in firefighter salaries for the month of June.

That compares with about $148,120.38 and $82,002.44 doled out in pensions in the same month.

The yearly pensions for the 30 former police personnel vary from $12,000 at the low end to more than $110,000 at the high end, data show.

The 17 former firefighters receiving pensions earn between $2,200 and more than $73,000, respectively.

“We have funded our obligation each year,” said Mark Nannini, finance director in Crystal Lake. “It’s always difficult when you are using budget dollars. It’s a pie that is only so big, and what matters is how you slice it up.”

Not including benefits and other items, the Carpentersville Fire Department

paid out close to $3 million each of the past two years in salaries. The department has 14 former employees receiving either a retirement, disability or surviving pension, totaling more than $60,000 monthly and more than $722,000 annually.

A pension board, which handles investments and proper following of state statutes, oversees the fund, Battalion Chief Kieran Stout said. The board also handles any hearings that may arise.

The fund is 77 percent vested, meaning if they had to pay the pensions out today, that is the amount they could dole out.

The Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District pension is 76 percent funded, Mullen said.

The majority of that money comes from property taxes and other fees, as well as contributions from employee paychecks.

“Dependent on property taxes, our pension funding is going to look different compared to a city fire department where they are funded through other sources like a general fund,” Mullen said.

“In an organization like ours, that has a divergence between full-time, part-time and civilian workers, not everyone is participating in the pension fund.”

The McHenry Police Department has 29 employees receiving a pension – ranging from more than $1,400 to more than $8,600 monthly. In total, the department spends close to $1.6 million annually on pensions.

The Huntley Police Department pension fund was formed in 2001. Before that time, officers were part of the IMRF. The village currently has three former employees receiving pensions, totaling almost $11,000 monthly and more than $131,000 this year.

The Huntley Fire Protection District has three former workers receiving disability, two retirement and one surviving spouse pensions. Those payouts equal more than $23,000 in the month of June, and more than $280,000 this year.

DAMASCUS, Syria – The number of dead in Syria’s civil war has passed 100,000, the U.N. chief said Thursday, calling for urgent talks on ending 2½ years of violence even as President Bashar Assad’s government blasted the United States as an unsuitable peace broker.

In the latest example of the relentless carnage, a car bomb killed at least 10 people and wounded 66 in a pro-regime, residential area near the capital.

All international attempts to broker a political solution to the Syrian civil war have failed. Despite a stalemate that has settled in for months, both sides still believe they can win the war and have placed impossible conditions for negotiations.

The international community has been unable – and some say, unwilling – to intervene sufficiently to tip the balance in favor of either the Assad regime or the rebels.

“There is no military solution to Syria,” U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters at the United Nations. “There is only a political solution, and that will require leadership in order to bring people to the table.”

He spoke ahead of talks with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who said the death toll had risen from nearly 93,000 just over a month ago to more than 100,000. Syrian opposition groups had made that same estimate a month ago.

The uprising against Assad’s rule began in March 2011 and deteriorated into an insurgency with growing sectarian overtones.

Ban called on the Syrian government and opposition to halt the violence, saying it is “imperative to have a peace conference in Geneva as soon as possible.”

The U.S. and Russia are working to convene a conference, along with the United Nations, to try to agree on a transitional government based on a plan adopted in Geneva a year ago.

8BRIEFS Fire out on Gulf well; gas flow has stopped NEW ORLEANS – A drilling rig that caught fire after a natural gas blowout in the Gulf of Mexico appears stable now that the fire is out, and there was no sign of any oil sheen on a fly-over Thursday morning, a rig company executive said.

“The well essentially snuffed itself out,” said Jim Noe, a vice president with Hercules Offshore Inc. The well had blown wild Tuesday, forcing the evacuation of 44 workers. The rig caught fire Tuesday night and part of it collapsed.

China plans to spend $275B on air cleanup BEIJING – China will spend $275 billion to tackle air pollution over the next five years, a priority for country’s the leadership.

The amount is more than the total economic output of Hong Kong last year and underlines how eager the government is to bring about a visible improvement in China’s bad air, which has caused discontent among its citizens and tarnished the country’s image abroad.

Get sign laws right The McHenry County Board should again extend its moratorium on new electronic billboards being placed in unincorporated areas of the county.

But this should be the last extension.

In the meantime, we urge the County Board to approve more restrictive sign regulations that are more in line with municipal rules as part of its Unified Development For the record Ordinance.

The County We urge the County Board to Board initially ad- approve more restrictive sign opted a six-month regulations that are more in moratorium line with municipal rules. last September after municipal governments from Algonquin, Crystal Lake, Lake in the Hills and Lakewood asked for it. Local officials sought the temporary ban after an increase in requests by sign companies to erect large video billboards on unincorporated land just outside village and city limits.

The County Board already extended the moratorium once – in April. That extension is set to expire in mid-September, but the county’s new UDO will not be adopted by then.

The County Board’s Planning and Development Committee recommended that the moratorium be extended nine months to June 2014. If the UDO is approved before then, the moratorium could be lifted earlier.

Under its current UDO, the county’s sign rules are far less strict than the municipalities.

Under the new UDO being reviewed by the County Board, new electronic billboard restrictions require a conditional-use permit for construction, limit their height to 35 feet and their display area to 400 square feet. They also forbid animation, video and other movement, limit luminosity depending on time of day, and set minimum distances of 100 feet from residential and agricultural land and 300 feet from other signs.

We support the tighter restrictions, but recommend the minimum distances from residential and agricultural land be extended far beyond 100 feet.

Detroit a basket case Detroit’s decline as a great American city did not start on the outside. The rot started from within.

That’s a lesson all municipal governments must learn.

Last week, Detroit became the biggest U.S. city to file for bankruptcy. Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, who approved the action, said the city’s sorry financial condition left him no choice. And sadly, he’s right.

This historic move marks a new low for the once-robust Motor City. In the 1950s, Detroit was the nation’s fourth-largest city with nearly 2 million residents. Its muscular automotive industry was the envy of the country and the world. Life and opportunities there were good.

It shined with civic pride.

Today, the city is a basket case.

Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr said the city had filed for bankruptcy because it would take more than 50 years to pay off the city’s unsecured debt while not conducting even the most basic maintenance, such as filling potholes and plowing snow.

Detroit’s politicians failed to understand that they can’t spend more than they take in, that high taxes drive away jobs and businesses and that buying votes through costly union contracts and pension plans has huge costs Savannah (Ga.) Morning News

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Another step backward To the Editor: What better way is there for liberals to demonstrate the need to eradicate racism and senseless violence than to engage in racism and senseless violence?

Trayvon Martin’s family said the death of their son was not about racism, and racism was never interjected into George Zimmerman’s trial.

But elitist liberals and black spokespeople, angry that the jurors did not come to their preordained conclusions, decided that it was time to use the race card. Following their lead, black vigilantes have attacked innocent white people and engaged in violent destructive demonstrations. Eric Holder, President Obama’s black attorney general, has decided to investigate the potential to bring charges against Zimmerman for civil-rights violations.

Nevermind the fact that Zimmerman is also a minority. It could equally be said that the campaign against Zimmerman is a racist attack. Perhaps his detractors are attacking him because he is Hispanic.

From the onset, liberals viewed this “crisis” as an opportunity too good to waste.

While people are focused on Zimmerman, they appear to have forgotten about Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS scandal, the

NSA scandal, eavesdropping on reporters, the economy, and border security.

With the election of Obama, it was widely believed that the sea levels would be lowered, the planet would be healed, and racism would become a distant memory.

During his presidency, the racial chasm has never been wider.

When it comes to race relations and the actions taken by the president and his liberal followers, our nation has taken another step backward.

Medical pricing headache To the Editor: After my recent yearly checkup, I had this question to ask: why is it that I can go to my chiropractor, ophthalmologist, dentist, podiatrist, or dermatologist at any time, receive a total for the service or procedure that was just done, and pay for it on the spot with my health savings account, but I cannot receive a total after a visit from my primary care physician or obstetrician-gynecologist?

To the Editor: Pay special attention to the new speed limit on East Crystal Lake Avenue in Crystal Lake.

When it comes to speed limits on this roadway, 30 is the new 40.

I am a resident on East Crystal Lake Avenue with a teenager with autism. Recently, there were at least three McHenry County police cars continually pulling over two vehicles at a time.

I am glad for the reduced speed limit; however, wouldn’t it be a bit more in the public’s interest to either put safety flags by the new signs or one of those trailers that say, “Your Speed?”

Public officials should remember they are paid by the public to protect the public, not to trick the public.

P.S. I think the reduced speed limits are way overdue.

Six goals the focus of county’s 2040 transportation plan History teaches us that how we moved is a strong indicator of who we were.

In 1840, McHenry County was a land dependent on railroads, horses and good boots.

By 1940, the nation began to embrace the motor vehicle as the future. The 1933 World’s Fair in Chicago included dramatic displays showing how our rural roads would be converted into amazing highways for motor vehicles. Since that time, this vision has dominated development patterns and transportation infrastructure investments in McHenry County.

Perhaps as a result of all the changes that occurred between the 19th and 20th centuries, strategic planning for transportation by the County Board has become a priority.

The first long-range transportation plan for the county was developed in 1995 and forecasted out to the year

2010. This was a period of dramatic change for McHenry County, with its population increasing 35 percent, from 228,762 to 308,760. The second transportation plan was adopted in 2005 for the year 2020.

As we look to the future (the year 2040), it only makes sense to tap into the public’s imagination and knowledge to determine how much of the past we should keep and how much we need to invent or reinvent.

The transportation system plan should reflect the desires and values of the citizens and businesses of the county. Based on past experience, the county had come to understand that simply holding large, public meetings would not be enough to understand the desires and values of the community. A different approach was needed to attract more participation than previous efforts.

A creative, comprehensive approach was developed with the in-

GUEST VIEW Jason Osborn tent of reaching as many people and groups in the county as possible. As the county is over 600 square miles in area, this was no small undertaking. The campaign ultimately heard from thousands of people from all reaches of the county, and included five main forms of gathering input: pop-up meetings, library boards, high school engagement, focus groups and online outreach.

Using the public input that was received as a guide, six goals for the 2040 Transportation Plan were developed.

Goal No. 1 – highway congestion mitigation – focuses on providing reliable travel on the major arterials in the county.

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

A safety goal represents the desire to achieve no traffic fatalities in McHenry County, and to prioritize projects that will improve safety conditions for all users of the transportation system.

Mobility for all aims to ensure that those without access to an automobile, including the young, the old, and anyone with a disability, are able to access basic service to maintain a high quality of life.

Goal No. 4 is transportation choices. Similar to mobility for all, transportation choices aims to improve bicycle and pedestrian accommodations, as well as bus and commuter rail service.

Environmental quality balances the need to improve the transportation system while promoting ecological and human health.

Finally, the last goal is transportation and land use. This goal seeks to prioritize projects that will

support development and industry consistent with existing community as well as county plans.

Using these goals and drawing from the previous transportation plans, a list of 58 projects has been developed. These projects are currently online for the public to comment on and rank.

At the end of the process, a plan will be brought forward for the County Board to consider. Ultimately, this plan will be used to build a transportation system that is a reflection of who we are today and where we want to be in the year 2040.

Please visit 2040mchenrycountyplan.org and help determine our county’s future.

Happy and safe travels.

Charge against Zinke tossed McHenry County sheriff candidate had been accused of misusing email

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Ethics Commission dismissed an allegation raised by a local blogger that an email sent by Undersheriff Andrew Zinke –

who is running for his boss’s job – amounted to campaigning on taxpayer time.

The commission voted Thursday, 4-0, against a motion to find that sufficient evidence exists that Zinke’s email – which challenged allegations that he gave Lake-

wood blogger Cal Skinner the middle finger at a parade – constituted a prohibited political activity.

Skinner filed a complaint alleging that the July 10 email Zinke sent to all 24 members of the McHenry County Board violated the

ordinance because it made multiple references to his campaign for sheriff and was sent during work hours and using Zinke’s county-assigned email address. Zinke is running to succeed Sheriff

Boat race kicks off festival 96 teams in two divisions compete for cash prizes

By KATIE FINLON kfinlon@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – This year’s Founders’ Days Festival kicked off with the annual cardboard boat races.

The Division I boat race, for ages 12 and younger, began at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Riverfront Park followed by the Division II race for participants ages 13 and older.

The objective of the race is to paddle 200 feet to the middle of the river, around the buoys and back to shore. For both divisions, the first prize is $100, the second prize is $75, and the third prize is $50.

Each team is provided two sheets of cardboard with a total of 180 square feet, one Stanley knife, three rolls of duct tape and two hours to build the boat. There is a $5 deposit required for the utility knife, and it is refundable at the end of the race.

This year, there were 96 registered teams, 35 for Division I and 61 for Division II. Some have been doing the race for a few years in a row, but others – such

as Kaleigh, Courtney and Scott Costa – only began this year.

Kaleigh Costa said she attended the Crystal Lake boat regatta for work and her interest increased from there.

“I was impressed,” Costa said. “I was like, ‘This must be fun,’ and I didn’t know Algonquin did it until yesterday. So I was like, ‘Let’s go do it.’ ” Her father, Scott Costa, said he already was

planning the team’s boat designs since he used to do similar projects for a living.

“I was a machinist fabricator by trade, so cardboard, metal – I think I got this,” Costa said. “I’ve been retired now for a few decades, but it’s still in my head.”

Don Ericson, the founder of the race and president

CRYSTAL LAKE – The McHenry County College Board failed to approve a raise for administrators for a second consecutive month, delaying a proposed merit plan trustees had discussed for months.

After a monthlong tug-ofwar between board members pushing for raises as low as 2 percent or as high as 3 percent, trustees could not agree on a plan that would give 38 administrators a 1.7 percent cost-of-living adjustment retroactive to July 1 with a potential to earn higher compensation based on performance.

Board chairman Ron Parrish said he was not in support of an alternative flat rate as it would mean more deserving administrators would miss out on a larger raise while others may receive more than they deserve.

“We are cutting back the amount we could give them,” Parrish said of choosing a flat rate over merit based system.

Under the Parrish’s proposed plan, total increases would not exceed what is equal to a 3 percent raise per administrator, leaving the possibility of some receiving large increases while others might receive nothing more than the cost-of-living adjustment depending on performance.

While the 1.7 percent increase would act as the floor, administrators could receive up to a 6 percent increase – the legal limit under the pension system – but that would mean others would receive nothing in addition to the cost-of-living adjustment to assure the total amount permitted for raises is not exceeded.

Raises would be a one-time bonus payment or a permanent increase to salary bases.

MCC President Vicky Smith would make the final determination on the amount of the raise, but the merit based process has not yet been established.

LITH approves new type of liquor license

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – Despite concerns about parking, the Village Board voted, 5-1, to create a new type of liquor license to help a potential new business come into town.

The cafe liquor license allows a business to serve alcohol during the same hours as restaurants that serve alcohol, but would ensure that at least half of the gross

revenue comes from the sale of food and nonalcoholic drinks.

Laredo Hospitality wants to open one of its Stella’s Place cafés in a strip mall at

319 N. Randall Road in the space formerly occupied by WineStyles. The business plans to have five video gambling terminals.

The company has applied for a liquor license, and Village President Paul Mulcahy said his decision on whether to approve the license would probably come in August.

The company does not have to come back to the board for any other approvals.

Village Trustee Stephen Harlfinger, who voted

against creating the liquor license, reiterated his concerns about parking and traffic at the site – and how it could affect other businesses.

The site does have enough parking under village ordinances.

“I’m not against this business by any means,” Harlfinger said. “I’m against the location, for the simple fact it’s going to cause problems.”

See LIQUOR, page B5

In other action The Village Board awarded its 2013 water main replacement project to Patnick Construction Inc. of Franklin Park for $803,200. The village budgeted $900,000 for the project.

Work this year will take place on Hiawatha Drive, Jessie Road and Council Trail, Public Works Director Fred Mullard said.

Work is expected to be completed by November, Mullard said.

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com FOX LAKE – Moving into the next stage of its development plan, the Fox Lake Village Board hired a marketing company at its meeting Tuesday evening.

The Retail Coach was the first choice of five of the six people who interviewed the three marketing companies, Village President Donny Schmit said. The sixth person picked the company as their second choice.

The panel was made up of Schmit, Trustee Greg Murrey, Village Administrator Nancy Schuerr, Associate Village Administrator Tara Semenchuk and two members of the Plan Commission.

“This was the best fit,” Schmit said. “They had the best plan.”

The Retail Coach has offices in Tupelo, Miss., and Austin, Texas, and bills itself as a national retail consulting, market research and development firm. While many of the communities it has worked with are concentrated in Texas, it also was hired

by Ottawa, Ill., to conduct a retail study.

The board had agreed not to spend more than $30,000 on the marketing firm, and The Retail Coach offered an inclusive package, Schmit

“We’ve got a lot of tentacles out there, and I want them going in the same direction.”

Donny Schmit Fox Lake village president said.

Their proposal included 12 months of contacting developers, making a presentation at a national retailers conference, updating the village’s demographic data, interpreting its marketing data, assessing its strengths and weaknesses and recommending any changes to the village’s codes.

“I think we’re getting quite a bang for our buck,” Schmit said.

A team from The Retail Coach will be coming up to tour Fox Lake without village staff to get a first impression and then have a kickoff meeting with staff.

Schmit also wants the firm to meet with the development marketing person who is being provided by the Regional Transit Authority as part of a branding grant the village received.

“We’ve got a lot of tentacles out there, and I want them going in the same direction,” Schmit said.

SHARON, Wis. – An area nonprofit group helps aging, injured and abandoned large animals such as lions, tigers and bears – and a camel named Chewy – ease their way into retirement.

Valley of the Kings, a large exotic animal sanctuary at W7593 Townhall Road, Sharon, Wis., will host a fundraiser at noon Aug. 3 at Kip and Deb’s, 184 Park Ave. in Sharon, to help the large animals live long enough to die of old age instead of complications from being in circuses, zoos or elsewhere.

The fundraiser will have a fresh split-roasted pig with “all the fixins,” including potato salad, cheesy potatoes, dessert and other beverages at an extra charge. Prizes such as local oil change certificates, pizza certificates, golf outing packages and tickets to Milwaukee Bucks and Admirals games will be raffled or auctioned off.

King’s Highway, a blues band, will play from 6 to 9 p.m.

The event is open to the public, and bikers are welcome.

President and founder Jill Tomasi began the organization 39 years ago, volunteer Derek Becker said. Becker said Valley of the Kings has seen many ill and elderly animals, including a rare tiliger named Tylir.

“Jill has a special place in her heart for sick and crippled animals,” Becker said. “They need a home, too. It’s not just

Kings, said one of the biggest procedures he has done for the sanctuary’s animals was removing a cancerous tumor from a tiger named Assan. He also has performed surgeries on animals with significant colon issues, healed a large, infected cut on a camel’s hoof over the course of a year and removed a female tiger’s uterus because of a large-scale infection.

Rudawski said the volunteers at Valley of the Kings give up a lot of their time and hard-earned money to help the large animals. Without them, there’s no telling what fates the animals would face otherwise.

“The people that own the place spend a lot of time in regards to helping out,” Rudawski said. “A good number of animals are gonna be able to die of old age rather than something leading to their demise because they were too old for the zoo or the person who took them couldn’t keep them anymore. ... They take them in and help out a good number of them.

They’re very unselfish people – easily secured their place in heaven, as far as I’m concerned.”

Becker said the animals are not sold from the sanctuary and come to Valley of the Kings to live the rest of their lives.

“Here, they get treated with love,” Becker said. “They get fed and they get treated by vets and they retire and just live their life. It’s a lifetime dedication.”

Boat race started fifteen years ago “We kinda just trialed and errored it to see how it would work out, and we just kept going with the concept.”

Ericson said he started the event about 15 years ago and, since he’s already in the business, just thought of the idea.

Don Ericson, founder of the Algonquin Founders’ Days boat race going with the concept,” Ericson said.

Zinke said he felt vindicated after hearing • ZINKE Continued from page B1 Keith Nygren, who is not seeking re-election next year.

The commission voted after a 30-minute closed session, with no public discussion before its vote. It was the first-ever hearing for the 8-year-old commission, which often appeared during the hourlong meeting to be struggling with how to proceed.

Zinke said after the hearing that he felt vindicated.

He was represented by attorneys Mark Gummerson and Rebecca Lee, who addressed commission members at length regarding Zinke’s innocence.

“I did nothing wrong.

None of my actions were political,” Zinke said.

Skinner, who also attended, felt otherwise.

“It’s obvious that the McHenry County Ethics Commission doesn’t take misuse of email as seriously as state ethics officers do,” Skinner said.

“Obviously, Nygren and Zinke are trying to put a chilling effect on those who would blow the whistle on using the sheriff’s office for political purposes.”

Cal Skinner Lakewood blogger Zinke sent the email to board members after Skinner posted on his blog photographs he took of what he alleges is Zinke giving him the finger while driving by in the Crystal Lake Independence Day Parade.

In his email, Zinke told County Board members he was being “victimized” by Skinner and that he was holding the window frame with his middle finger, not giving Skinner or anyone else an obscene gesture. His email mentions his “candidacy” and his “run for office,” as well as his “opponent” and the race.

Section 3 of the county’s ordinance prohibits intentional use of county resources for political activity, or on taxpayer-compensated time.

Gummerson told the commission Zinke sent the email on Nygren’s orders. Nygren, who sat in the audience, confirmed it after the hearing, saying the email was professional and not political in nature.

“We have a very strong and positive working relationship with the County Board, and Cal Skinner isn’t going to ruin that,” Nygren said.

Under the ethics ordinance, a finding that a Section 3 complaint is valid is forwarded to the State’s Attorney’s Office for possible prosecution. Violating Section 3 is a criminal offense punishable by up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine.

Gummerson submitted a motion at the meeting to find Skinner guilty of filing a frivolous ethics complaint, which under the ordinance is punishable by a fine of up to $5,000. He said after the hear-

ing that he and Zinke would consider whether to proceed.

Skinner called the move an attempt to intimidate critics of the sheriff’s office.

“Obviously, Nygren and Zinke are trying to put a chilling effect on those who would blow the whistle on using the sheriff’s office for political purposes,” Skinner said.

Despite the ruling in Zinke’s favor, the issue is sure to come up in what already has shaped up to be an acrimonious race to replace Nygren.

Zinke is facing a GOP primary challenge from former Des Plaines Police Cmdr. Bill Prim, and the winner would face independent candidate Jim Harrison, a labor lawyer and former sheriff’s deputy.

Gummerson and Lee would not comment on who paid for their services, citing professional regulations forbidding them from disclosing that information.

The Ethics Commission has received three complaints, including Skinner’s, since its seating in 2005. Both were withdrawn before they could proceed.

Trustees will attempt to approve plan in Aug. • MCC Continued from page B1 Trustee Molly Walsh said she would rather approve a flat 2.75 percent increase for administrators this year while a more detailed merit plan is worked out for next year.

“I’m not a big fan of merit

pay,” she said. “I don’t think it increases morale. I think it separates people out.”

Smith – who is not part of the administrative group set for a raise – had pushed for higher salaries for her administrators after losing people in recent years because of competition from surrounding schools.

Smith said of the six com-

parable area institutions, such as Rock Valley Community College and College of Lake County, McHenry County College faculty make an average of $3,400 more than their peers while administrators make an average of $19,000 less than their counterparts.

Trustees will attempt to approve a plan on their third attempt in August.

Village in ‘wait-and-see’ mode regarding Stella’s • LIQUOR Continued from page B1 He said the strip mall with the former Hollywood Video directly to the south would be a better location.

“I think Hollywood Video’s size would probably better accommodate them and attract maybe a larger crowd,” Harlfinger said. “I think it would do well because it’s still walking distance from the actual movie theater ... and you’re not directly competing neck-toneck with Starbucks, Noodles

“I don’t want to start a precedent of us not welcoming businesses.”

“I don’t want to start a

Trustee Frank Covone said he didn’t have a problem with creating the liquor license.

“I do have issues with the parking, but ... they could have five customers, they could have 500,” Covone said.

SECTION C

MCHENRY COUNTY YOUTH SPORTS ASSOCIATION SUMMER INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

Speaking Trestman’s language is not easy Let’s start with this. It’s early, but I think I really like Marc Trestman.

I’m a pretty simple guy and the one issue I had over the years with Lovie Smith is while I think Lovie was fairly sharp, I know I’m as smart or smarter than he is.

And yet he too often made me feel like he couldn’t understand what the purpose of my existence was and why I was wasting good oxygen at all. Lovie never seemed to feel I or any of my brethren in the media were worthy of his wisdom.

On the other hand, the Bears’ new head Marc Trestman coach on Thursday shook my hand, smiled, looked me in the eye and said, “We know each other, don’t we (it was our first relatively private face-to-face since he took the Bears job)?”

I said Pro Football Weekly and he smiled a little wider and said, “Of course, Hub” and we actually talked a little football for 60 seconds. Forget a breath of fresh air, this guy Trestman was a windstorm.

I also really like how comfortable he seems to be in his skin right now, because it’s that skin that raises the biggest questions about Marc Trestman, head football coach.

Is he a football coach or a doctoral candidate for a degree in how to turn heathens into pigskin practitioners?

For example, consider his response when asked how he feels about his offense right now.

“We’ve got an offensive group that has really assimilated this football and this verbiage very, very quickly,” he said. “We threw a lot of volume at them.

We talked about it over the OTAs, a lot of volume at them each and every day.

Japan’s Yuto Ozawa runs toward home plate after an Illinois Stix error during the McHenry County Youth Sports Association International “friendship games” Thursday at Veteran Acres Park in Crystal Lake.

‘BIGGER ... THAN THE LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES’ Play begins with international, host teams playing friendlies

By PATRICK MASON pmason@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Pitching is something 15-year-old Jack Schneider is quite familiar with, but when he took the mound in the bottom of the first inning for the 15-and-under Lake In The Hills Thunder baseball team Thursday, he did something he never had done before.

Schneider pitched against a national team from Japan that, along with many other teams, has traveled to Crystal Lake for the 21st McHenry County Youth Sports Association Summer International Championships at Lippold Park.

“It was a little intimidating at first,” Schneider said. “But once I

threw that first pitch, I got it under control. It’s very different, [the Japanese players] are all very intense yet positive. I don’t think I saw any of them stop smiling.

“It’s one of those experiences that you know you will never forget.”

Wednesday marked the first day of the event as teams from Japan, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Puerto Rico and Lithuania each arrived and met their host families. Thursday marked the first set of “friendship games,” which don’t count in the tournament standings but provide a way for the teams to meet one another and have a chance to play on the same field.

Host teams such as the Illinois Stix, Crystal Lake Babe Ruth, Crystal Lake Cyclones and the Lake In The Hills

Thunder each played against Brazil and Japan in five-inning games.

Skills competitions Friday will include a home run derby, strongest arm competition, base running and an infield skills contest before the tournament begins Saturday, which will include an opening ceremony featuring a scholarship presentation, fireworks and a Hall of Fame induction.

“It is one of the most unique tournaments of its kind,” executive tournament director Jack Sebesta said.

“This event, both scope and size, has a bigger draw of teams than the Little League World Series. It’s one of the best events out there and it’s in our backyard in Crystal Lake.”

See MCYSA, page C3

By the numbers n This will mark the 21st year of the tournament. n The tournament will feature 15 international teams from seven countries. n Eighty-three teams from the United States will be participating ranging from Texas, Washington, Wisconsin and Georgia. n A total of 98 teams will compete. n There is no charge to enter Lippold Park to watch games. n Twenty-one kids have gone on to play in the major leagues while countless others have played professionally in the minor leagues.

CARY-GROVE FOOTBALL

Ruhland anticipates exciting recruiting blitz Trojans lineman hopes to expand list of scholarship offers in coming months

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com The first thing Trevor Ruhland does when he returns from a football camp targeting college recruits is to sit down and start Googling the competition.

The 6-foot-4, 265-pound CaryGrove junior lineman will watch YouTube videos of fellow campers who he has met and who are able to rattle off the scholarship offers they have received. The more video clips Ruhland watches, the more he becomes motivated, anxious to prove he is just as worthy.

So far, his list of offers stands at one after Minnesota offered Ruh-

land after a junior one-day camp in Minneapolis. A pulled hamstring suffered earlier this summer kept Ruhland from participating in as many camps as he would have liked in June, limiting his trips to Minnesota and Vanderbilt.

But for Ruhland, who started as a sophomore Trevor Ruhland on C-G’s Class 6A state runner-up team last year, the attention is just starting to build for a lineman whose combination of size and agility have made him attractive to potential college suitors.

Ruhland, whose father, Matt, played at Iowa in the 1980s, already has made unofficial visits to Northwestern, Illinois, Michigan, Michigan State, Vanderbilt, Purdue and Iowa – all potential Big Ten landing spots. He is prohibited from having contact with schools until Sept. 1, after which point he can interact with them on social media networks, starting what he expects will begin a chaotic recruiting rush.

But getting his first offer, especially from a Big Ten school, was, in Ruhland’s words, “huge.”

“It’s like the weight of the world is off my shoulders,” Ruhland said.

“I’ve been going to camps since I was an eighth-grader because this is everything I’ve dreamed of and worked for every day. So it was a great relief and also very exciting and it motivated me to work even harder.”

Watching the YouTube videos sometimes frustrates Ruhland, who believes he’s better than the other linemen he goes to camps with. This year, he’ll play two ways for the Trojans as C-G coach Brad Seaburg said he expects Ruhland to take on a much larger role.

Last year, there were plenty of veterans around Ruhland.

Ruhland expects to factor into his team’s leadership structure more, a responsibility Seaburg said Ruhland is ready for.

“He had that experience, he had that taste of playing in a state championship game and we’re hoping he can kind of change his Shaw Media file photo role this year,” Seaburg said. “This year he’s going to be looked at as a Cary-Grove’s Trevor Ruhland (right) looks to block leader – not only on the offensive an Auburn defensive player in an IHSA Class 6A first-round playoff game last season. Ruhland line, but on the whole team.”

BEARS TRAINING CAMP

Page C2 • Friday, July 26, 2013

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Is drive to Bourbonnais worth the trek?

It’s time for some football.

The Bears will take the field Friday for the first practice of training camp. Hub Arkush and Tom Musick discuss:

Musick: The grass has been mowed. The bleachers have been built. The gift shop has been stocked. Bourbonnais is on the big stage yet again. But for Bears fans who don’t live particularly close to Olivet Nazarene University, is training camp worth the trek?

Arkush: If you’re one of those folks who just loves ya some Chicago Bears football, the answer is absolutely yes.

But you have to come with some realistic expectations of just how close you’re going to get to your navy and orange

heroes and how happy they’re going to be to see you. Remember, you’re playing hooky for a day or two to have some fun.

But while they’re playing a game, they also are hard at work.

Musick: That’s a good place to start. If your mission is to collect autographs from Bears players, understand that a couple of thousand people alongside you at training camp have the same mission.

So let the kids go first – they get to stand in a roped-off area where players enter and leave the field, which is really smart by the Bears – and be aware that you probably won’t get a star player to sign your stuff.

Arkush: Another thing fans

TAKE 2 Hub Arkush and Tom Musick face off need to realize is this isn’t an NFL game they’re coming to watch. There will be no tackling during practice and no contact anywhere but on the line of scrimmage. But if you want to see receivers and defensive backs making acrobatic plays at full speed or Jay Cutler throwing darts all over the field and heaving the ball 60 yards in the air to a streaking Brandon Marshall, from reasonably up close and

personal, Bourbonnais is the place to be.

Musick: Exactly, and you can’t beat the free admission.

So for those who make the trip to training camp and want to learn more about the Bears this season, what drills would you recommend that they focus on?

Arkush: In the old days we yearned for the Nutcracker, two guys straddling a two-byfour, each trying to knock the

other off, but that’s gone the way of Ditka and Wanny. Nobody hits anybody anymore.

Look for 7-on-7s and “All 11” passing drills. See how many guys Cutler can hit in stride at full speed and watch how routes are strung together to begin to understand coach Marc Trestman’s West Coast offense.

Musick: Definitely, anybody who likes precision passing will get a kick out of the 7-on-7s. I’m also a big fan of the 1-on-1 pass rush drills.

Those should tell us a lot about big rookie Kyle Long.

As we wrap up, how about giving a couple of nonhousehold names to keep an eye on during camp?

Arkush: Unlike last year,

when undrafted rookie freeagent offensive tackle James Brown was in the bull’s eye on everyone’s radar, there are no easy calls this year.

Another offensive tackle I know the Bears are very hopeful about is fifth-round pick Jordan Mills. I expect seventh-rounder Marquess Wilson to be this year’s Evan Rodriguez – as in never should have touched him – but smarter people than me think he’ll grow up and be a steal. And watch Brandon Hardin closely. Unfortunately, Hardin’s another player I’m not optimistic about, but he has to earn playing time if general manager Phil Emery’s first draft is going to get a decent grade.

BEARS NOTES

Camp feels like home for rookies

1

I could not have been more disappointed by the decision by Sedrick Ellis to retire rather than report to the Bears. You can argue it’s just as well because the young man doesn’t want to play in the NFL anymore. But they already were thin on the defensive line.

I liked Jay Cutler’s arrival. It’s one thing to say: “I’m not going to talk about my contract,” and a whole other thing to convince folks it’s not going to be a distraction. I bought what the quarterback was selling. He seemed mature about it and confident that he will perform well enough to earn a top-dollar deal. Jay Cutler I thought Devin Hester’s chances of making the Bears’ 53-man opening day roster took a hit when Phil Emery pointed out that the team isn’t in the greatest cap situation. While the club also isn’t desperate, there are few, if any, other veteran players on the bubble who could provide the cap relief cutting Hester would.

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@shawmedia.com BOURBONNAIS – The hazing and challenges will come, but for one day at least, Bears second-round pick Jonathan Bostic didn’t necessarily experience any rookie pains.

Bourbonnais felt like Gainesville for the former Florida Gator in his first full day at camp.

“The whole coaching staff and the players kind of make it feel like home. Since I’ve been up here, it’s been like a home away from home,” Bostic said.

A few players mentioned a college feel to Marc Trestman’s staff and how things are run, especially opening camp with a much-discussed conditioning test. Bostic said his Florida roots helped him get through it.

Jon Bostic “Coming from Florida, that humidity out there helped out a lot during the conditioning test,” Bostic said.

When practice opens Friday, Bostic will be working as a middle linebacker, along with veteran D.J. Williams, who signed a one-year deal this past offseason.

Roster move: The Bears moved swiftly Thursday after learning of Sedrick Ellis’ sudden retirement by signing veteran defensive end Jamaal Anderson to a one-year deal.

Like Ellis, Anderson is a former top-10 pick, going eighth overall to the Atanta Falcons in the 2007 draft.

As a rookie in ’07, Anderson started all 16 games and made 30 tackles, but both of those numbers are career-highs. Anderson played in only two games for the Cincinnati Bengals last season before having surgery on his quadriceps. The Bengals released Anderson on July 10.

Eyes on the kicker: Robbie Gould was a popular player after comments he made Wednesday night on ESPN AM-1000 regarding his contract, saying he tried to renegotiate two weeks ago and the Bears “said there was no money. Let me put it to you this way: If they wanted a guy, they’re going to find a way to sign him if it meant that much to him.”

On Thursday, Gould clarified his stance.

“I didn’t disagree with anything that Phil Emery said. He’s not going to give anyone a deal,” Gould told reporters. “There is no money. Until they can get the number where they can find a way in 2014 to keep a lot of guys, that is what they’re going to do. It’s not rocket science.”

Gould later took to Twitter, adding, “I apologize to any fan who feels ill will towards those comments. Lets go win a championship.”

No new deals: Players entering the last years of their respective contracts, like Gould, had to answer questions about knowing that no extension will come during the season.

Cornerback Tim Jennings: “It’s not disappointing. I guess it’s just writing on the wall for a lot of guys.”

Safety Major Wright: “I’m not worrying about my contract. It’s just another year where I have to prove that I can play this safety position.”

Returner Devin Hester: “I’m more excited that this is my contract year. I’d rather do my contract after the season is over because the way I’m feeling now, I could boost my stock a whole lot from where it’s at now.”

BEARS TRAINING CAMP BREAKDOWNS: LINEBACKERS

Briggs new man in charge

By HUB ARKUSH harkush@shawmedia.com In only one offseason, the Bears’ linebacking corps has gone from one of the NFL’s best to one of its most unsettled and uncertain.

After 13 years as the face of the franchise, future Hall of Famer Brian Urlacher is in retirement, 2012 starting SAM linebacker Nick Roach has left for Oakland Editor’s note via free agency and principal backup Geno This is the second Hayes has moved on, in a series of Bears too. The only sure positional breakthing is perennial Pro downs from the staff Bowler Lance Briggs, of HubArkush.com. who failed to make the Pro Bowl last season for the first time in eight seasons and will turn 33 in November.

Briggs also will be asked to take on a new role a defensive leader this year that he never has attempted before.

Plug in a new middle linebacker who spent more time suspended in 2012 for off-the-field issues than he spent on the field, and rookies drafted in the second and fourth round who will be asked to make significant contributions, and who knows what the Bears really have at linebacker heading into training camp.

Position battles: There will be no battle at weakside linebacker where Briggs will be the starter. He also will be asked to take on Urlacher’s long-time role as the signal-caller and defacto coach on the field. In an extremely unusual move, coach Marc Trestman and defensive coordinator Mel Tucker, an extremely respected 4-3 defensive coach in his own right, elected to retain the departed Lovie Smith’s and Rod Marineli’s playbook and terminology, the thinking being it would be a much smoother transition for the veteran defenders.

But what might have been overlooked by the new regime is that it is well-documented that it was as much Urlacher’s intuitive feel and natural instincts for Smith’s scheme that allowed him to make calls, switches and keep his teammates in the right place and schemes as it was the schemes themselves that made the Bears’ defense so effective.

Whether Briggs can fill that role or not is at best an unknown, and early reviews have been questionable at best. To replace

Urlacher, the Bears signed D.J. Williams, who the Broncos drafted 17th in the first round in 2004 and used him at all three linebacker spots and in the a 3-4 scheme.

Williams is fast, athletic and instinctive, and for most of his nine seasons in Denver he was the most effective linebacker. That was until last year, when he was suspended for six games for violating the league’s banned substances policy and an additional three games for a DUI. Williams never has been to a Pro Bowl, and he merited only a one-year deal with the Bears. While Williams almost certainly will open the season at the Mike linebacker, the Bears drafted Jonathan Bostic in the second round out of Florida in the hopes that he eventually will carry on the legacy of George, Butkus, Singletary and Urlacher. Although Bostic is only 6-foot-1, 246 pounds, some scouts agree the potential is there for Bostic to be special. Others rated him the third-best linebacker on the Florida defense. To fill Roach’s spot, the Bears signed James Anderson, a free agent who spent his first seven seasons in Carolina.

They also drafted Khaseem Greene out of Rutgers in the fourth round. Anderson always was productive in Carolina but never spectacular, and Greene occasionally was spectacular at Rutgers but rarely consistent. Greene actually projects best as a Will linebacker in the NFL, and will compete for playing time on the strong side for now but eventually could be Briggs’ replacement.

Contract situations: Williams and Anderson both were brought in on oneyear deals. Although they both likely are starters on opening day, if the Bears fail to contend it wouldn’t be surprising to see Bostic and Greene starting alongside Briggs by the end of the season.

The three-year extension that Briggs signed in April 2012 expires after next season.

What to watch for in camp: There was nothing controversial about the selections of Bostic and Greene, but the scouting reports on the two are all over the board and most agree both will need exceptional athleticism to succeed because they both are slightly undersized. If either or both consistently flash that athleticism in Bourbonnais, they will earn significant playing time. Beyond that, all eyes will be on Briggs, who is not a natural in the role he’s being asked to fill for Urlacher.

“What?” I asked the question and I know there was nothing hypothetical about it, but with his answer, all I could think was he must know something I don’t. But how does that make me a better reporter?

Now I’m going to say this one more time in the hopes the whole class is listening, I really like Trestman so far and I’m fascinated to see what he does next. I don’t know if we’re watching the next Bill Walsh or the next Les Steckel.

I know this guy knows the game and he wants to teach us all. What I have no idea about is how he’s going to share his gift with his players, you and me.

One more question before we go. A phrase I’ve heard Trestman use several times already is he wants his players to “self-actualize.”

Can anybody tell me what that means?

“We’re excited as a staff because our players appear to get stimulated by the volume of plays that we have given them. They like the football, they like the formations, they’re enjoying the process.”

I wonder if all of the Bears players can spell all those words, let alone know what they mean.

I’m not trying to make fun of anybody, I’m trying to ask an important question. Will this coach and his players be able to speak the same language? Personally, I’m really enjoying Trestman because I know he is smarter than me.

I asked him what I thought was a straightforward question in the news conference: Other than your won-loss record, how would you like to be evaluated by Bears fans?

He started his answer • Hub Arkush covers the with, “I’m going to let that Bears for Shaw Media and hypothetical take on its own HubArkush.com. Write to him tone.”

BIG TEN FOOTBALL MEDIA DAYS

Affrunti 3 shots off lead in RBC Canadian Open

PSU heading into Year 2 under O’Brien

By JAY COHEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Bill O’Brien says he thinks he can do a better job of managing the clock. He wants to improve his communication with his coaches in the press box. Then there are the adjustments for recruiting, practice and team meetings.

After a most unusual season, the Penn State coach is focused on putting everything he learned in Year 1 to good use.

“When you’ve never done it as a head coach, you’re definitely learning on the job, and I learned a lot in my first year,” O’Brien said Thursday at Big Ten Conference football media days.

O’Brien and the Nittany Lions enter this season in a much different spot than a year ago, when the former offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots was adapting to his new role with AP photo the school facing unprecedented Penn State football coach Bill O’Brien speaks at the Big Ten Con- sanctions for the Jerry Sandusky ference football media day meetings Thursday in Chicago. sex abuse scandal.

Just 6½ months after he accepted the job, O’Brien found out he was looking at a four-year bowl ban and steep scholarship cuts. Not exactly an ideal situation for a first-time head coach.

“A year ago, we had just found out about the sanctions, so that was a tough time,” O’Brien said.

“That was a time when we had just received in many ways, as far as I’m concerned, some unexpected news. We knew there was something coming down the pipe. And then I’m coming to my first Big Ten media days as a head coach, on top of all that.

“I think we’ve learned a lot in a year. I believe we’ve improved. The years ahead aren’t going to be easy, but we have a better handle on things.”

Considering the controversy swirling around the program, Penn State’s 8-4 record last season was one of the best coaching jobs in the country, and O’Brien received several awards. The Nittany Lions lost their first two games, then won five in a row.

Joe Affrunti’s formula for playing birdie golf continued in the first round of the PGA Tour’s RBC Canadian Open on Thursday in Oakville, Ontario.

Affrunti finished his round at Glen Abbey Golf Club at 4-under par for the day and will start Friday’s second round three shots off the lead.

The Crystal Lake native finished Thursday with five birdies, including three on the front nine.

His only bogey came on the par-4 third hole.

Affrunti is one of nine golfers who shot 68 Thursday and who are three shots behind leader Brendan Steele, who shot 65.

The offense developed into one of the most potent units in the conference.

But listen to the 43-year-old O’Brien for a while, and it’s clear the Boston native expects more – from himself and his players.

“We want to be a tough, smart football team. We want good kids.

We want to be able to play in all kinds of weather and all those different things,” O’Brien said.

“I talk about that a lot, whether it’s recruiting or Xs and Os.” That public emphasis on improvement is consistent with the coach the Nittany Lions see in practice and meetings.

“He’s the same guy, but with any competitor and coach, O’Brien is a competitor, he always feels like he needs to improve something,” safety Malcolm Willis said. “Just certain things like just different techniques that he’ll learn or things that he’ll watch on film that he picks up, you know he’ll inform the team and he’s always 100 percent honest with us.”

Irving stars in USA Basketball exhibition LAS VEGAS – Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving had 23 points and seven assists to lead the White team to a 128-106 victory over the Blue on Thursday night in the USA Basketball Showcase at the Thomas and Mack Center.

Irving, an All-Star who was a member of the 2012 USA Basketball Select Team that trained against the U.S. Olympic team, scored 16 in the first half to spark his squad’s come-from-behind win.

Anthony Davis had 22 points and seven rebounds for the Blue.

The Blue team, led by Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau, got 18 points from Golden State Warriors forward Harrison Barnes.

In addition to Ruhland’s ability to move well for a lineman, recruiters have told him they like his work ethic and nasty streak. It’s a mentality Ruhland hopes to build on during his final two years at C-G, when more college offers pour in.

“I’m guessing it will be kind of crazy,” Ruhland said, “but will be exciting at the same time.

But I’m going to keep playing with that chip on my shoulder.

I go back and watch film of my sophomore year and I say, ‘Wow, that’s not good enough.’ So I’ll definitely be better this year.”

In 1993, Jim Aldridge brought the tournament to Illinois from Iowa when it was about to be eliminated. He first pitched the idea to the town of Woodstock, but eventually settled in Crystal Lake, where the tournament was approved and now has been a fixture of talented summer baseball ever since.

Last year, two players from Brazil were signed by the Seattle Mariners after a scout spent the week watching players while several others from various teams signed future contracts. They now are in professional development leagues as 16-year-olds.

Brazil coach Fabio Takara spoke briefly after his team’s friendship game Thursday against CL Babe Ruth and noted that the tournament is special.

“It’s something that gives us exposure,” Takara said.

mmontemurro@shawmedia.com Cubs outfielder Alfonso Soriano is on the verge of rejoining the New York Yankees, where his big league career started.

Although Soriano initially was in the lineup for Thursday’s game at Arizona, he was scratched after a deal to trade him to the Yankees reportedly was 99 percent finished.

The apparent move – although not yet official late Thursday – required Soriano, who spent five seasons with the Yankees, to approve going to New York because he holds 10-5 rights as well as a no-trade clause. Although Soriano’s eight-year, $136 million contract he signed in 2006 became a dark cloud hovering over the organization the past few years, the 37-yearold has been an important presence in a young Cubs clubhouse, especially during this rebuilding phase.

Over the past two seasons, Soriano won over his new bosses, manager Dale Sveum and president of baseball operations Theo Epstein, in particular.

“Coming in here, I actually had

ant surprise he turned out to be.”

Soriano’s massive contract can be – and should be – picked apart with how willing the Cubs’ former owner and management was willing to fork over to a player who was about to turn 31 when he signed the deal. But Soriano doesn’t deserve ire from fans for perceived lack of hustle and effort.

Soriano consistently was one of the Cubs’ hardest working players and a leader. More times than not, Soriano could be found sitting at his locker before games watching video of his previous at-bats or video of that day’s pitcher. He also frequently spent time working on his defense with coach Dave McKay and working to strengthen his knee, which has bothered him most of Cubs career.

“I tell people often that I’m glad I’ve seen Soriano from this side of the fence,” McKay said last year. “I didn’t realize what a hard worker he was and what a super teammate he was.”

The Cubs are expected to take on a good portion of the nearly $25 million Soriano is owed through next season.

CHICAGO – As much as Jake Peavy has tried to keep on the blinders amid trade speculation, even he is beginning to embrace what could be his final days in a White Sox uniform.

He had that in mind when Sox clubhouse manager Vince Fresso asked Peavy which jersey he wanted to wear for his start Thursday against the Tigers with the expectation Next he’d choose their classic white or black vs. Kansas jersey. Peavy, City, 7:10 p.m. Friday, realizing it CSN, AM-670 could be his last start on the South Side with the July 31 trade deadline less than a week away, took advantage of the opportunity.

Peavy requested the Sox wear their 1983 throwback uniforms, which are reserved for Sunday home games this season. Understanding the circumstances, manager Robin Ventura whole-heartedly gave the OK. Wearing the throwback might become a day-game tradition after the Sox snapped a three-game losing streak with a 7-4 win against Detroit.

“Last year, I never made a start on Sunday and didn’t get to pitch in those [1972 throwbacks], and we all know the situation and I hadn’t pitched in these, and these are so cool,” Peavy said.

Standing in front of his locker after the win, Peavy (8-4) certainly sounded like a player prepping to be traded.

He said he doesn’t have a gut feeling as to what will transpire, though he has talked with general manager Rick

White Sox 7, Tigers 4

Tipping point: The White Sox tagged Tigers starter Justin Verlander for seven runs, including four in the fourth inning, which broke open a tied game. Coming off a game in which they had 11 hits, the Sox recorded 12 hits en route to seven runs. With the game-tying run at the plate in the ninth, Addison Reed struck out Brayan Pena for his 26th save.

On the mound: In what could have been his final start with the Sox, Jake Peavy surrendered four runs – all of which came off home runs – in seven-plus innings.

The Sox won, 7-4.

Verlander gave up seven runs on from the game after he gave 11 hits.

WHITE SOX NOTES

Flowers serving mainly as a backup

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Tyler Flowers understands he didn’t put himself in a good position to prevent a position battle.

The White Sox’s Opening Day catcher has spent a lot more time on the bench after Josh Phegley was called up from Triple-A Charlotte on July 5. Since then, Phegley has earned the majority of playing time, starting 13 games of the Sox’s 18 games since his major league debut.

But Flowers, hitting .208 this season, took advantage of a rare start Thursday against Detroit. He went 2 for 4 with a double, home run and two

RBIs in the Sox’s 7-4 win.

“I probably didn’t feel quite as comfortable as it looked, but I’m just trying to compete, just trying to go up there and put the ball in play and hopefully something good will happen,” Flowers said.

Flowers’ double and home run both came off Tigers starter Justin Verlander, who gave up seven runs in six innings, and the 27-year-old did a good job recovering from his first at-bat against the hard-throwing right hander when he struck out on four pitches. Flowers’ nine home runs are tied for third most on the Sox. “My first at-bat he made me look like an idiot.” Flow-

ers said. “After that first atbat, I was thinking it might be a long day. But I was fortunate he threw me a couple pitches I could hit and I was able to hit them.”

Crain suffers setback: Time is running out for the Sox to showcase reliever Jesse Crain.

Crain (strained right shoulder) hoped to throw off a mound Thursday, however his shoulder didn’t feel good enough for a bullpen session after playing catch. Crain said he wasn’t able to fully warm up his arm and it didn’t feel great during long toss. Crain planned to talk to the Sox’s trainers and doctors Thursday to determine the next steps, which likely will include rest.

“Obviously, I wanted to be getting better and I obviously wanted to be able to pitch, the most important thing,” Crain said. “It’s always discouraging when you work hard to get back, and it’s not responding.”

Pitching coach Don Cooper labeled it a “slight setback.” Crain, who owns a 0.74 ERA with 46 strikeouts in 36⅔ innings, is a free agent after this season.

“The first thing on our mind is to keep him healthy,” Cooper said. “It’s disappointing for him and for us not to have him. That’s a big hole on our team in that seventh and eighth inning in the role he was filling so well. He just needs more time.”

By RONALD BLUM The Associated Press NEW YORK – Alex Rodriguez’s already strained relationship with the New York Yankees hit another low Thursday when he pushed to be activated from the disabled list Friday, the team refused and he had a lawyer join the discussion of his injury rehabilitation.

Already a target of Major League Baseball’s drug investigation, the third baseman angered the Yankees when he obtained a second medical opinion on his strained left quadriceps this week with- Alex Rodriguez out informing the team in writing, a step required by the sport’s collective bargaining agreement. The Yankees intend to discipline him, most likely with a fine.

“Do you trust the Yankees?” Rodriguez was asked during an interview on WFAN radio.

A-Rod’s answer was telling.

“Um. You know, I’d rather not get into that,” he responded. “’I’m just frustrated that I’m not on the field tomorrow.”

Sidelined since hip surgery in January, Rodriguez issued a statement early Thursday saying he wanted to be activated for Friday’s homestand opener against Tampa Bay. But that wasn’t in the Yankees’ plans.

“We agreed that a protocol would be followed that is necessary when you return somebody from a quad injury,” general manager Brian Cashman said during a conference call with the team’s beatwriters.

“That protocol will include further treatment, which he’ll continue tomorrow with some light conditioning, and then expand to more functional work from the 27th through the 31st. Our hope, as well as Alex’s hope, without any setbacks or new complaints, that would put him in a situation to have either a simulated game or a rehab game on Aug. 1.”

A-Rod was miffed.

“Obviously, I’m very, very disappointed,” he said.

“I know I can help my team.

Obviously, I’m frustrated but I agreed to this five-day plan, and on we go.”

He repeatedly said he told the Yankees he was ready to return.

“Tomorrow night would be the perfect night to come back and get in the lineup,” he said.

NFC NORTH

Addressing Hernandez’s arrest

McCarthy not miffed by Jennings’ jabs at Rodgers

By HOWARD ULMAN The Associated Press

By NANCY ARMOUR FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – With Aaron Hernandez’s arrest hovering over the start of training camp, the New England Patriots sent out quarterback Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichick to shed some light.

Brady spoke for 17 minutes Thursday and said the murder charge against his former tight end is “zero” distraction to him.

Belichick spoke for 22 minutes Wednesday and said the team would learn from the “terrible experience.”

Both spoke with greater patience and candor than they usually do as the Patriots hurried to remove the stain from their reputation – and lower media attention – before their first practice on Friday.

“You talk about the ‘Patriot Way’ and to me that means mental toughness and to me it means dealing with different situations and adversities over the course of a season and offseason,” Brady said, “and how you can put those things behind you and focus on your job.”

The Patriots were happy to get back on the field during conditioning tests Thursday.

Brady was asked about the team’s morale.

“It’s fun. It’s exciting,” he said. “This is a new year for us. Last year didn’t end the way that we would have hoped so we have a chance to go out there and try to do a lot

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady talks with reporters Thursday after practice in Foxborough, Mass. Brady spoke for 17 minutes Thursday and said the murder charge against his former tight end Aaron Hernandez is “zero” distraction to him. better this year.”

The Patriots lost the AFC championship game to the Baltimore Ravens.

“The fate of our season is going to be determined by the guys in the locker room,” Brady said, “and, hopefully, nothing else.”

Not only must they improve on the field, but, Brady said, the Patriots must work hard to “re-establish what we’re all about” after the arrest of Hernandez.

“It’s been a challenging offseason,” he said. “But we’re going to try to move forward as best we know how.”

Brady talked at length for the first time since Hernandez’s name surfaced in connection with the shooting

death of Boston semi-professional football player Odin Lloyd on June 17. Hernandez was arrested June 26 and cut by the Patriots before he was charged that afternoon. He is being held without bail after pleading not guilty.

“Certainly, it’s a very tragic thing that happened and someone loses their life,” Brady said, “but all those things were out of the players’ control here. We’re not really a part of that situation.”

He declined to answer several questions, saying he had been advised not to. They included whether he had spoken with Hernandez or whether Hernandez had apologized to him after the tight end was linked to the inves-

tigation.

During Hernandez’s three seasons since being drafted by the Patriots, he was one of Brady’s top receivers.

Asked if he thought he knew Hernandez, Brady said, “the relationship that you have as a football player, the relationship you have within the walls of [Gillette Stadium] are what they are and then people have their own life.”

Might people not know others as well as they think they do?

“I don’t know if you quantify those things,” Brady said.

“How well do you know your kids? You try to do the best you can do, but everyone is ultimately accountable for their own decision making.”

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy blames Greg Jennings’ new wardrobe for the verbal jabs the receiver has been taking at Aaron Rodgers.

“You know, when you put on that purple, something happens to you,” McCarthy said Thursday, drawing laughs.

Jennings became the latest big-name Packer to sign with Green Bay’s archrival this offseason, going to the Minnesota Vikings as a free agent. Since then, the Packers’ former No. 1 receiver has taken a series of thinly veiled shots at Rodgers.

He’s refused to call the quarterback by name, referring to him instead as “12” or “the guy they have now,” and he dismissed the general environment around Green Bay’s facilities as “cookie cutter.”

But his strongest criticisms came in a story in Thursday’s Star Tribune in which he questioned Rodgers’ leadership and implied the quarterback had become bigger than the team.

“For me, I’m such a team person, I’m going to defer to my teammates,” Jennings told the Star Tribune. “I’m going to defer to the team, to the team, to the team. And I think when you reach a point where you’re not deferring any longer, it’s no longer really about the team.

“Don’t get me wrong, ‘12’ is a great person,” Jennings

added. “But when you hear all positives, all positives, all positives all the time, it’s hard for you to sit down when one of your teammates says, ‘Man, come on, you’ve got to hold yourself accountable for this.’ It’s hard for someGreg Jennings one to see that now because all they’ve heard is I’m doing it the right way, I’m perfect. In actuality, we all have flaws.”

Rodgers hasn’t addressed the comments by Jennings – his first availability at training camp is Friday – but McCarthy didn’t seem too concerned with them. Rodgers takes his role with the team very seriously, McCarthy said, and he’s “proud” of how his quarterback’s leadership has grown.

“He obviously puts a lot of time and energy into it and it’s really reflected in the little things that no one really sees,” McCarthy said. “To me, that’s really the definition of a true leader, the ability to stack the individual moments with individuals throughout not only the locker room but throughout the building – particularly in the football operations department. I just think it’s really an outstanding role of going about it.

“Now, everybody grows and hits some bumps and twists and turns along the way,” McCarthy added.

RAVENS

Starting with a new cast

By DAVID GINSBURG The Associated Press OWINGS MILLS, Md. – The first day of training camp for the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday was strange, not because of who was in attendance – but because of who wasn’t.

Ray Lewis wasn’t there.

Neither was Ed Reed, or at least a half dozen other players who hoisted the Super Bowl trophy in February.

In their first full-scale practice since defeating the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl, the Ravens were without Lewis, who retired, and Reed, who signed as a free agent with Houston.

Also absent were Matt Birk, Bernard Pollard, Anquan Boldin, Vonta Leach, Paul Kruger and Dannell Ellerbe – either by retirement, trade or as a departed free agent.

“Sure, it was different,” coach John Harbaugh said.

“It’s about change in a lot of ways, and there’s a lot of change this year. It wasn’t the same. But it’s not expected. It is reality, and it’s our reality to deal with. We’re all excited about that, too.”

Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh (second from left) talks with wide receiver Torrey Smith during training camp Thursday in Owings Mills, Md. Running back Ray Rice was back, ready to begin his sixth NFL season. Instead of looking back at the good times with Lewis, Reed, and the Lombardi Trophy, Rice opted to peek ahead toward a new season.

“I’ll be honest, myself, I’m going to let the Super Bowl go,” he said. “That pressure is something you’re going to hear all year, and I don’t want to harp on it. But what did feel good is getting out here with the guys. You talk about Ray

Lewis, Ed Reed and the guys that we lost, we’ll always carry them with us with that ring and that trophy.”

Many of last year’s heroes are gone, but there are others to take their place. Marcus Spears, Chris Canty, Elvis Dumervil, Michael Huff and a brand new draft class participated in their first training camp workout with a franchise that has reached the playoffs in five straight seasons.

GOLF ROUNDUP

FIVE-DAY PLANNER

Steele leads Canadian Open The ASSOCIATED PRESS OAKVILLE, Ontario – Brendan Steele topped the Canadian Open leaderboard Thursday at 7-under-par 65, birdieing five of the first seven holes on his back nine at Glen Abbey.

The 30-year-old Steele had eight birdies and a bogey, dropping a shot on his final hole – the par-4 ninth.

He won the 2011 Texas Open for his long PGA Tour title.

“Really, just an overall good day,” Steele said. “Hit a lot of good shots and was able to hole some putts. When you have a good round like that and you play that well, you kind of have everything going. But today was probably the

most complete round that I’ve had all year, so that was kind of nice.

Didn’t miss many greens, didn’t hit many shots off line, and I was able to roll a few putts in.”

Matt Kuchar, a two-time winner this year, was a stroke back along with Scott Gardiner and Scott Brown.

Kuchar eagled the Brendan par-5 18th hole, his Steele ninth hole of the day.

Hunter Mahan and David Lingmerth shot 67, and Chez Reavie, the 2008 winner at Glen Abbey, was another stroke back in a group that included Bubba Wat-

MINI-REVIEWS & LOCAL SHOWTIMES OF CURRENT MOVIES LOCAL SHOWTIMES

ON SCREEN NOW

“Despicable Me 2” HHH STARRING: Voices of Steve Carell, Kristin Wiig, Miranda Cosgrove, Benjamin Bratt PLOT: A spy agency recruits retired supervillain Gru (Carell) to track down a criminal mastermind who has stolen a nasty virus. Gru’s three adopted daughters hope to set him up with his new spy partner (Wiig).

RATING: PG for rude humor and mild action TIME: 1 hour, 38 minutes VERDICT: While not as fresh or surprising as the 2010 original, this sequel otherwise suffers little drop in quality. The same creative team brings another dose of snazzy visuals, pleasing sentimentality and raucous comedy, with the madcap Minions delivering a ton of slapstick. The filmmakers integrate the 3-D effects into the comedy, turning the computer-animated cartoon into a delightful carnival ride. – Jeffrey Westhoff, Northwest

Herald

“Grown Ups 2” HH STARRING: Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock PLOT: After moving his family back to his hometown to be with his friends and their kids, Lenny (Adam Sandler) finds out that between old bullies, new bullies, schizo bus drivers, drunken cops on skis and 400 costumed party crashers, sometimes crazy follows you.

RATED: PG-13 for crude and suggestive content, language and some male rear nudity TIME: 1 hour, 41 minutes VERDICT: It would be dishonest to call “Grown Ups 2” the most repellent high-profile comedy in recent memory. But that’s largely because few moviegoers have memories kind enough to have already erased 2010’s “Grown Ups” – which offered almost every loathsome quality of this installment, plus Rob Schneider. Like the first film, this one is built upon the seriously misguided idea that five or 10 minutes of sentimental family-values talk can coexist with an hour and a half of burp-snarting and the like.

Here, Lenny must contend with the news that his wife (Salma Hayek) wants to have a fourth child; Eric, inexplicably, must keep his wife (Maria Bello) in the dark about how much time he spends keeping his elderly mother company; Marcus must make peace with the thuggish son he never knew he sired; and Kurt ... well, Chris Rock gets to ad-lib one or two funny lines and spend the rest of the film waiting for something better to come along. Sandler, whose best work tends to be his least rewarded at the box office, has never before made a sequel. That he would make an exception for “Grown Ups” says nothing good about his trajectory as an artist. He and Rock, more than their costars, may yet have good movies in them about embracing adult responsibilities after years of playing the fool. But “Grown Ups” and a dozen other half-hearted productions suggest they won’t succeed with such statements while they’re trying to succeed commercially. – John

DeFore, The Hollywood Reporter

“The Heat” HHH STARRING: Sandra Bullock, Melissa McCarthy, Marlon Wayans, Michael Rappaport PLOT: An uptight FBI special agent (Bullock) must partner with an out of control Boston PD detective (McCarthy) to capture a mysterious drug kingpin.

RATING: R for pervasive language, strong crude content and some violence TIME: 1 hour, 57 minutes VERDICT: A game Bullock joins with McCarthy and her “Bridesmaids” director Paul Feig in a raunchy female take on the buddy cop formula. As long as their opposing personalities clash, Bullock and McCarthy are hilarious. The formula dictates they eventually become friends, and the flint between the stars eases just as the cop story becomes predictable. The third act disappoints, but the bickering that precedes it may make you laugh until you cannot breathe. – Jeffrey

Westhoff, Northwest Herald

“Pacific Rim” HHH STARRING: Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day PLOT: Giant robots are built to combat sea monsters from another dimension that emerge from the Pacific Ocean. With the monsters winning the war, the leader of the robot warriors (Elba) lures a pilot (Hunnam) out of retirement for a last-ditch assault on the beasts.

RATING: PG-13 for sequences of intense science-fiction action and violence throughout and for brief language TIME: 2 hours, 11 minutes VERDICT: Director Guillermo del Toro’s loving tribute to the dual Japanese genres of giant monsters (Godzilla, etc.) and giant robots (Mechagodzilla, etc.) is a blast when the CGI slugfests occur. But del Toro plays the drama straight, and the standard war plot of a reckless pilot clashing with a principled commanding officer is predictable. Del Toro provides enough mayhem to satisfy, but never achieves the mischievous glee of his Hellboy movies. – Jeffrey Westhoff,

Northwest Herald

“Red 2” HH STARRING: Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Mary-Louise Parker, Helen Mirren PLOT: Retired spies Willis and Malkovich are on the run again when they are implicated in a Cold War-era plot to detonate a nuclear bomb in Moscow. One of Willis’ old flames, a Russian agent played by Catherine Zeta-Jones appears, driving his girlfriend (Parker) crazy with jealousy.

RATING: PG-13 for pervasive action and violence including frenetic gunplay, and for some language and drug material TIME: 1 hour, 56 minutes VERDICT: This follow-up to the surprise 2010 hit “RED” repeats the central premise of an action movie with a retirement-age cast, and that joke wears thin immediately in a plot that refuses to make sense. Good guys and bad guys switch sides at a dizzying pace. The action scenes are charmingly small-scale, and the European locales are pretty. But director Dean Parisot has a heavy hand for comedy, and attempts at black humor often have appalling results. –

Jeffrey Westhoff, Northwest Herald

“Turbo” HH½ STARRING: (voices of) Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Samuel L. Jackson PLOT: A freak accident might just help an everyday garden snail achieve his biggest dream: winning the Indy 500.

RATED: PG for some mild action and thematic elements TIME: 1 hour, 35 minutes VERDICT: In delivering a film about a garden snail that dreams of winning the Indy 500, it’s as if the makers of “Turbo” had been pressed to come up with the most extreme underdog tale they could think of. Or else animators really are running out of ideas for original new characters. An attractively designed but narratively challenged, one-note film, “Turbo” skews younger than the norm for big animated features these days and has limited appeal for little girls. Of course, the message of the film, as with so many other kid-inspirational cartoons and other fantasies, is that no dream is too big, you can do anything if you set your mind to it, etc., etc. Unfortunately, the real embedded lesson of Turbo is that, if you’re too small or weak or otherwise incapable of greatness, you have a shot to win if you’re juiced. Which is what happens late one night when Turbo, coming upon a “Fast & Furious”-style drag race in the dry LA River bed, gets sucked into an engine. Instead of being toasted, however, the little guy becomes infused with nitrous oxide, enabling him to zoom along the ground seemingly as fast as Superman shoots through the skies.

Ahhh, the wonders of chemicals and strength enhancers. Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire would approve. The ultimate destination – Indianapolis – is inevitable, but it takes a long time to get there, given a script that is short on invention and long on largely unfunny yacking. Once the gang arrives and begins overcoming the obstacles that might prevent a snail from entering a car race (conveniently unmentioned is the most obvious one, that Turbo lacks four wheels and an engine), the hitherto

genial Guy Gagne suddenly becomes a villain, feeling so threatened by the now-mighty mollusk that he goes to all lengths to prevent an eternally humiliating defeat. In the run-up to the race and then during it, you mostly wonder about how a critter so small it can’t be seen on the track (although its blue/white-hot streak can be) will avoid being crunched by the giant tires of the humans’ racing machines; indeed, the film’s most irreverent merit is that it is periodically honest about the fate of snails by casually showing them getting squashed by humans or gobbled up by animals, especially crows. In the event, Turbo just zips through traffic as if in an obstacle course, the obvious longshot pipsqueak favorite in a field of giants. – Todd McCarthy, The

Hollywood Reporter

“The Wolverine” HHH STARRING: Hugh Jackman, Tao Okamoto, Rila Fukushima, Famke Janssen PLOT: Summoned to Tokyo to bid farewell to an old, dying friend, Wolverine (Jackman) finds himself in the middle of warring factions of the man’s family, corrupt politicians, Yakuza and ninjas. After saving the man’s granddaughter (Okamoto) Wolverine discovers he is losing the healing ability that keeps him immortal.

RATING: PG-13 for sequences of intense science-fiction action and violence, some sexuality and language TIME: 2 hours, 6 minutes VERDICT: As directed by James Mangold (“3:10 to Yuma”) the second solo Wolverine feature (the first should be forgotten) strives mightily to separate itself from the look and conventions of the modern comic book movie. It succeeds handsomely for most of its running time before succumbing to a standard comic book climax. The Japanese locations and milieu lend a unique look and feel, and Jackman’s morose soul carries the themes of death and rebirth.

A fight atop a speeding bullet train is a standout action sequence. – Jef-

STARRING: Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, Daniella Kertesz PLOT: United Nations employee Gerry Lane traverses the world in a race against time to stop the zombie pandemic that is toppling armies and governments, and threatening to destroy humanity itself.

RATING: PG–13 for intense frightening zombie sequences, violence and disturbing images TIME: 1 hour, 56 minutes VERDICT: Might there be a real zombie apocalypse one day? The way zombies have invaded our pop culture the past several years, it’s maybe a bit less implausible than it once was. What IS increasingly quite plausible, alas, is a global pandemic, and “World War Z,” the long–awaited Brad Pitt thriller, cleverly melds that real–life threat into the more fanciful zombie premise. Talk about more bang for your buck: Once you’ve settled back into your seat after a good snarling zombie chase, there’s nothing like the thought of a SARS outbreak to get the blood racing again. Despite the much–discussed production delays and budget overruns, this movie, based on the 2006 novel by Max Brooks (son of Mel), is pretty much what you’d want in a summer blockbuster: scary but not–too–gross zombies, a journey to exotic locales, a few excellent action scenes and did we mention Pitt? As Gerry Lane, a former U.N. investigator called upon to save the planet, Pitt is a calm, intelligent presence amid the insanity. The most impressive scene is at the beginning, as the streets of Philadelphia are suddenly overrun by packs of wild, raging zombies. For an hour, the action is swift: North Korea, Israel, a harrowing plane crash. The final act takes place on a dramatically smaller scale, and at a slower pace. Oh, a reminder: Turn off those cellphones. After all, it’s not just your movie–going partner you’ll annoy here. Cellphones also happen to awaken zombies.

Consider yourself warned. – Jocelyn

Saving her sanity right step for mom suffering depression Dear Abby: I was a single mom for most of my teenagers’ lives. We have never been financially stable, and lately things have hit an alltime low.

I am prone to bouts of depression. I remarried last year, and my husband unfortunately does not understand or tolerate the depressions.

He feels I should just “get over” things. He also doesn’t believe in anti-depressants. It got so bad I attempted suicide last weekend.

My husband said my doing that was abusive to HIM. Had the pills I took not made me throw up, I would have happily waited to die.

There are six people on my medical aid, and the available funds are more than half used

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips up. For me to see a psychiatrist will take a huge chunk out of it. I am caught between a rock and a hard place. If I do it, my family will miss out on medical care should the need arise later in the year. Is it selfish to try to hang onto what is left of my sanity? – On

The Edge In Johannesburg, South Africa Dear On The Edge: That your husband chooses not to recognize depression is an illness – one that’s treatable – is a reflection of his ignorance. That he would tell you your attempted suicide was

abusive to HIM suggests that he is more concerned with himself than he is with you.

You have teenage children who need their mother. Trying to hang onto what’s left of your sanity and get the medications you need isn’t selfish – it’s SOUND THINKING. If not for your sake, please seek help now for theirs.

Dear Abby: I’m pregnant with my first child and live 800 miles from my parents, who are retired. We have a good relationship now, but growing up I had major emotional issues my parents didn’t handle well. Years of therapy in my early adulthood helped to fix them.

My parents have just told me they have been approved to be foster parents and will

be caring for an emotionally disturbed teenager soon. While I know I should be happy for them, I’m extremely upset. I feel they were ill-equipped to handle my emotional issues growing up, and they should be more concerned with their grandchildren in retirement than taking in strangers.

When I heard the news, I tried my best to sound supportive, but they could tell I was upset. How can I handle these feelings? Would it be beneficial to tell them how I feel? – Mommy-To-Be In

North Carolina Dear Mommy-To-Be: A way to handle your feelings would be to view the situation from the perspective of an adult, not a jealous child. That

your parents will foster this teenager doesn’t mean they will love their grandchildren any less.

On some level they may be trying to make up for the mistakes they made in your upbringing. Because they were ill-equipped to recognize your emotional problems does not mean they won’t be wiser now. I suggest you wait to discuss this with them until you’re feeling less resentful.

Dear Abby: I’m a 12-year-old girl trying to live a simple life. I read your column every day. I have one small question. I really wanna know why girls don’t like each other that much. Many girls at my school are really mean.

I wish I knew the answer to

why girls are like that. Do you know why? – Confused Dear Confused: Girls your age are mean to other girls for a variety of reasons. Some of them may be acting out because they are having problems at home. They may do it because they are jealous or to make themselves feel more important (a power trip).

Girls like this have never been taught to respect the feelings of others. They behave this way because they haven’t matured enough to have developed empathy, an ability to be sensitive to the feelings of those they are hurting.

Tai chi can help Parkinson’s sufferers Dear Dr. K: I’ve heard that tai chi may help people with Parkinson’s disease. Could you please elaborate?

Dear Reader: Parkinson’s disease (PD) affects the brain.

The earliest brain changes probably begin when someone is a young adult, but the symptoms of the disease usually don’t begin until much later in life.

Parkinson’s disease interferes with muscle control, leading to trembling; stiffness and inflexibility of the arms, legs, neck and trunk; loss of facial expression; trouble speaking clearly; trouble swallowing; and a variety of other symptoms. These changes interfere with the ability to carry out everyday activities.

Medications can help, but they sometimes have unwanted side effects.

Tai chi is an ancient Chinese practice of slow, graceful movements that flow smoothly from one pose to the next. During the choreographed moves, gradual shifts of weight from one foot to

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff another combine with rotating the trunk and extending the limbs in a series of challenges that help to improve balance. Tai chi strengthens and stretches tight muscles.

By enhancing balance and muscle strength, tai chi helps prevent falls and girds against physical decline.

A study recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine tested its benefits for those with Parkinson’s.

A team from the Oregon Research Institute recruited 195 men and women with mild to moderate Parkinson’s disease.

They were randomly assigned to twice-weekly sessions of either tai chi, strength-building exercises or stretching.

The results? After six months, Parkinson’s patients who did tai chi were stronger and had much better balance than patients in the other two groups. The tai chi group also

had significantly fewer falls and slower rates of decline in overall motor control. Tai chi is a safe exercise.

I have a dear friend who has suffered from Parkinson’s disease for more than 20 years. Sometimes, he just “froze”: He just couldn’t will himself to speak or move. His doctor suggested when that happened he should try to break the freeze by shouting.

It was easier to shout a word or two than to speak them, and it worked – but it startled folks around him.

So he had an inspired idea.

He asked another mutual friend, a professional singer, to teach him to sing. Particularly he wanted to sing songs that required a lot of smooth modulations – some phrases sung softly, and others sung loudly and with passion. It seemed to reduce the number of times that he “froze.” It was a kind of vocal tai chi.

Lady Gaga to perform on MTV awards show Lady Gaga will perform at the MTV Video Music Awards next month. It will be one of her first appearances since having hip surgery in February.

The 27-year-old pop star will perform her new single at the Aug. 25 awards show, which will air live from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., MTV announced Thursday.

Gaga sang the national anthem at New York’s Gay Pride last month. She’ll release a new album, “ARTPOP,” on Nov. 11.

Jeff Scheffer with Universal Furniture says he feels bad for Deen.

He says the Deen he knows isn’t the one who has been portrayed in the media recently.

Scheffer wrote retailers saying his company accepts Deen’s apologies for her previous comments. He says part of the decision is based on retail customer feedback.

Sudeikis leaving ‘SNL’ cast

O.J. hopes for leniency O.J. Simpson pleaded for leniency Thursday, telling a parole panel he deeply regretted robbing two sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas hotel room and has tried to be a model inmate while behind bars.

“I just wish I never went to that room,” he said. “I wish I just said keep it.”

Simpson, 66, said he’s been an upstanding inmate while serving his time at Lovelock Correction Center 90 miles east of Reno, where he has been since 2008 when he was sentenced to up to 33 years.

Simpson said during his 15-minute presentation that he shouldn’t be compared with other inmates doing time for similar crimes.

“The difference between all of their crimes and mine is, they were trying to steal other people’s property,” he said. “They were trying to steal other people’s money.

“My crime was trying to retrieve for my family my own property,” he said.

“Make no mistake I would give it all back to these guys. They can have it all to get these five years of my life back.”

Simpson was sentenced to consecutive terms on several charges. But some of his sentences were ordered to run concurrently – two counts each of kidnapping and robbery and one count of burglary.

As a result, even if the Nevada Parole Board ruled in his favor on those charges, he would then begin serving sentences attached to other charges and spend at least another four years in prison.

After eight years on the air at “Saturday Night Live,” Jason Sudeikis says he’s calling it quits.

Sudeikis used another late-night institution to make his announcement, telling David Letterman in the taping of Wednesday’s show he’s leaving NBC’s weekend program.

Sudeikis had a busy election year on “Saturday Night Live,” portraying both Republican Mitt Romney and Vice President Joe Biden.

Sudeikis told Letterman his time on the show has been “really, really amazing.”

It’s an exodus of male cast members at “SNL.” Both Fred Armisen and Bill Hader previously announced they were leaving the show. Seth Meyers will be replacing Jimmy Fallon on his late-night talk show when Fallon moves up to the “Tonight” show.

Franklin, Jackson honored Aretha Franklin and Bo Jackson will be honored at the 2013 MLB Beacon Awards Luncheon next month.

Major League Baseball announced Thursday Franklin and Jackson will receive awards on Aug. 24 at the Chicago Marriott Magnificent Mile before the annual Civil Rights Game. The White Sox will host the Rangers in this year’s game.

Filipino singer and “Glee” actress Charice will perform at the event.

Past recipients of MLB Beacon Awards include Hall of Famers Frank Robinson, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays and Ernie Banks, as well as Muhammad Ali, Harry Belafonte, Bill Cosby and Morgan Freeman.

The MLB Beacon Awards Luncheon is one of the events surrounding the Civil Rights Game that pay tribute to people who fight for equal rights.

A power broker’s

DREAM MACHINE Bentley’s GT Speed goes for $250K

!!

Breaking news @ www.NWHerald.com

Wheels editor: Scott Helmchen • shelmchen@shawmedia.com

By JASON H. HARPER Bloomberg News We’re blitzing to Boston in a Bentley, a Continental GT Speed. It’s a hulk of a car that looks like it was sculpted from a solid block of steel and weighs almost as much.

With a starting sticker of $215,000 and a W-12 engine with 616 horsepower crammed into the nose, this machine is unblinking in its mandate to cruise the asphalt. A power broker’s dream machine.

The drive from New York to Beantown is one of my least favorite trips on the planet, a traffic-snarled, 215-mile stretch along commuter-crowded Northeastern arteries.

I’ve driven it too many times over the years to visit friends and family, often along the most toilsome I-95, before common sense and Google Maps intervened, and I availed myself of slightly less obvious routes.

Accompanying me on this trip are my wife, Miranda, and my eight-month-old

son, Max, along with all the accoutrements that accompany an infant. The car has two doors and four seats, though the rear buckets only accommodate a baby seat with the front seat shoved forward as far as it will go.

With just 12.6 cubic-feet of capacity, the trunk is unlikely to please mobster hit-men or pack-rats, and we had to leave Max’s stroller behind.

From the first stomp on the gas pedal, shooting the car onto Manhattan’s West Side Highway from a full stop, the updated, second-generation GT Speed begins speaking my language.

It has a most unusual blend of smoothness and power, creating the sensation of moving forward incredibly quickly, while taking a chunk of pavement along with you. Imagine an airport moving walkway on hyper-drive.

See GT SPEED, page D14

The 2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed is a classic grand touring car, meant to cover great distances in speed, comfort and style.

Patriot favors function over beauty REVIEWS Jerry Kuyper Jeep’s marketing department employees bill the Patriot as the least expensive sport utility vehicle sold in the United States today.

In base form, which carries a $15,995 price tag, it is.

This base model has no power windows, door locks or air conditioning. Once those are added in, the Patriot’s price rises to the $19,500 level where sit the Nissan Juke, Hyundai Tucson/Kia Sportage (same Korean owner), Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and Jeep’s other small SUV, the Compass (actually, $18,500).

Departure and approach angles are steep on the Patriot. Skid plates are offered as an option, too. With a square, more up and down architecture, the Patriot looks like a Jeep – tough and not beautiful.

A Latitude model of a fourdoor, five-passenger, two-row 2013 Patriot was delivered for review purposes recently, and it carried that patented Jeep exterior look. Front, rear and sides are vertical, and the top is flat, not rounded into the shape of a football. The luggage rack on top deals with no roof curvature. Since it is of rectangular design, there are no curving walls to mitigate practical interior storage possibilities. Not quite up to par with the competition, there are 23 cubic feet for storage behind the upright second row, and 53.5 cubic feet when the rear split seats are folded to create a flat floor.

Unlike the competition, the Patriot has a full-sized, 17-inch P215 Goodyear Wrangler spare tire. Mounted on a 17-inch alloy wheel, the spare is stored under the carpeted rear storage floor.

In an era when vehicles have no spare (runflat tires with an air inflation kit) or a small temporary tire, a full-sized spare is comforting. The spare matches the 17-inch Goodyear Wranglers at the four corners of the vehicle.

A mild off-roader, the four-wheel-drive Latitude comes with the high ground clearance, three tow hooks and a low range (more torque to crawl over rough terrain).

Since it was a $22,880 Latitude model with the continuously variable transmission (standard on four-wheel-drive Latitudes), it had air condi-

A 2.4-liter, 172-horsepower inline four-cylinder engine is mated to a continuously variable transmission in the four-wheel-drive Latitude model of the 2013 Jeep Patriot. BELOW: Seatbacks adjust so passengers can get comfortable in the second row of either the Jeep Patriot or Compass compact sport utility vehicles.

FAST FACTS

tioning, power windows-door locks-exterior mirrors, plus the larger (by an inch) tires and wheels, cruise control, a 115-volt auxiliary power outlet with a 12-volt outlet, hill start assist (will not roll backwards or forwards if stopped on an incline), tinted glass, liftgate with fixed window and fog lamps in front paired with halogen headlamps.

Front seats move manually, but they are heated. Power windows include an express up-down feature on the driv-

er’s side. Seats are bolstered and comfortable front and rear. Intermittent wipers in front are complemented by a rear window with defroster, washer and wiper. For entry and exit assistance, there are four grab handles. The front seat folds forward to extend storage capabilities of longer items.

A 130-watt, four-speaker sound system includes AM/ FM/satellite Sirius radio, CD and MP3 players and audio jack input.

Vehicle: Latitude model of 2013 Jeep Patriot Type: Five-passenger, four-door, four-wheel-drive compact sport utility vehicle Price: $22,800 Engine: 2.4-liter, 16-valve, dual overhead cam,172-horsepower, inline four-cylinder Transmission: Continually variable transmission with off-road crawl ratio Towing: 2,000 pounds Weight: 3,136 pounds Ground clearance: 8.1 inches Wheelbase: 103.7 inches

Length: 173.8 inches Width: 69.2 inches Height: 65.5 inches Fuel tank: 13.6 gallons Cargo: 23 cubic feet behind second row, 53.5 cubic feet rear seats folded Leg room: 40.6 inches in front, 39.4 inches rear Tires, wheels: P215 mounted on 17-inch aluminums Brakes: Discs front, drums rear Warranty: Three years or 36,000 miles, five years or 100,000 miles powertrain and 24-hour roadside assistance

The 2.4-liter, 16-valve, dual overhead cam, 172-horsepower, inline four-cylinder engine responded like a V-6 with power galore. In this respect, it is a typical Jeep.

The CVT keeps performance times down, so racing from 0 to 60 mph can be done in 10 seconds.

This engine can be a gas hog as fuel economy, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, is 21 miles per gallon of unleaded gasoline in combined city and

highway driving. During the test week on mostly suburban streets and highways with two adults and 20 pounds of cargo aboard, the average was 20.2 mpg. The vehicle was not driven aggressively, nor was there any use of the air conditioning. Jeep officials promise a more fuel-efficient 2014 Patriot.

Braking is suspect as automotive media testing puts the average stopping distance from 60 to 0 mph at 140 feet. This is 10 to 20 feet

above the norm for a compact 3,136-pound SUV. Brakes are discs in front and drums in the rear.

The ride was pliant, quiet and high in a cabin that sits atop a body with an 8.1inch ground clearance. The interior is fairly spartan with sound and climate controls in their usual places (front and center on the dashboard) and easy to reach, discern and operate. The touch screen did not always respond as it should. Individual displays on the screen, such as for a particular radio station, had to be pushed hard, and then harder, before there was a response.

Standard safety fare includes an antilock braking system, traction and stability controls, brake assist, front airbags, overhead curtains for two rows and active head restraints.

Warranty coverage is the same as the Compass, at three years or 36,000 miles and five years or 100,000 miles on the powertrain as well as 24-hour roadside assistance.

Chrysler’s $150K Viper craves racetrack, not traffic

By JASON H. HARPER Bloomberg News “No-no-no, slow-down, slow-down, slow down!”

I cut my eyes over to my passenger. We’re only in first gear, but I let off the gas pedal and the gnash of the V-10 motor quickly winds down.

The 2013 SRT Viper is an intimidating machine, capable of hitting 60 miles per hour in 3.4 sizzling seconds. Still, we are only doing about 35 mph when my companion’s panic kicks in.

He grins weakly. “That was just like a roller coaster.”

(Pause) “I hate roller coasters.”

I’ve been giving Viper rides all afternoon to an assortment of supplicants, but this is the first one who didn’t begin giggling when the 600 pound-feet of torque kicked in, mashing them into the thin sport seat.

Meekly motoring, I head to another pal’s house in the hills of San Clemente, about an hour south of Los Angeles, where three others will get turns.

I too, have been waiting a long time to get my hands on the new Viper, which is arguably one of only two supercars on the market from a major American manufacturer. (The other is the Corvette ZR1.) The coupe certainly looks exotic enough to qualify as a supercar, and it boasts a top speed of more than 200

Bloomberg

The Viper gets 12 miles per gallon in the city and 19 mpg on the highway. mph. Mine is a gorgeous red GTS model.

The Viper was first released by Dodge in the early 1990s, but got the ax during Chrysler’s financial crisis in the late 2000s. None were produced in 2011 or 2012. So the 2013 model, now under the SRT brand and not Dodge, was not a foregone conclusion.

It was never a sophisticated car. It offered two seats, a manual transmission and an engine so gargantuan that it was known for superheating the cabin. It lacked common safety features like traction

and stability control, thereby earning a reputation as a car that bit back. The Viper has always been a handful.

The new model offers the same basic configuration as the previous iteration: six-speed manual, two seats and an enormous motor, a 8.4-liter V-10. The interior and exterior have both been reworked and this time the car has all of the requisite safety features required by U.S. law.

The base price is just over $100,000, and there’s a GTS version with a more upmarket interior that’s more than

$120,000, including a hefty $1,995 delivery charge and $2,600 gas guzzler tax. My test model cost more than $151,000, including a ludicrous $14,600 charge for a special “Stryker” red paint.

(The metallic color is quite cool, but not worth the price of an economy car.)

The new Viper was designed under the helm of SRT chief executive officer Ralph Gilles, and it still looks mean as all get out, with design flourishes that hint at an Italian sensuousness.

The hood is extra-long and the cabin located in

the extreme rear. The clamshell-shaped bonnet is festooned with a series of functional vents; side scoops along the doors suck in the sides severely, making the car seem as if it were wearing a corset.

While you can dress up the Viper with leather, automatically-adjusting seats and a GPS navigation system, it will never be a car you want to commute in. This became abundantly clear driving in Los Angeles rush-hour traffic, where the Viper’s massive horsepower propelled me forward tens of feet per minute,

and the heat from the power train broiled the interior.

The leather is cheesy, the rear hatch doesn’t close securely and details like the overhead light feel like an afterthought. This is a car best served on the racetrack or on the open roads of Nevada or Utah.

Even, surprisingly, on narrow roads bounded by cliffs, where I would never have had the gumption to take the older Vipers. The latest model turns with wicked finesse, has firm, well-aimed steering, and clings resiliently to the road.

Leaving all of the safety controls on (it has four modes, including full-on, sport, track and full-off), I arced down an extremely long, cambered C turn as elegantly as any European sports car.

It’s nice to have a six-speed stick at your right hand. This one’s gears are close together, and along with the easy-touse clutch, shifts are snappy.

The sound of the engine is impossible to escape, which is great in short bursts but onerous on the freeway, where the sixth gear produces a tinnitus- inducing drone.

Neither Viper lovers nor I wanted a practical or neutered version of Dodge’s legend. And this one isn’t. It looks outrageous, drives better than ever, and is just as raucous as the driver wants it to be.

G-Class in a class of its own

By ANN M. JOB The Associated Press It’s easy to look down on Toyota Prius drivers – if you’re driving the newest Mercedes-Benz G-Class sport utility vehicle.

The unusual-looking G63 AMG, which includes modest design changes made on all G-Class models plus more luxury touches and a more powerful V-8, puts passengers at such seat heights that they tower over minivans, most pickup trucks and, yes, Priuses though gas mileage is another matter entirely.

If the test drive was any indication, plenty of Prius drivers speed up to try to keep the tall, boxy G-Class from getting in front of them in traffic and blocking their views.

Alas, the Priuses, ubiquitous on some California thoroughfares, are no match for the attention-grabbing, powerful G-Class.

Even the old Hummer SUVs that fuel-conscious drivers loved to hate years ago didn’t have the awesome 544 horsepower and whopping 560 foot-pounds of torque that come with the top-of-theline G63 AMG. This translates into a federal government fuel economy rating of 12 miles per gallon in city driving and 14 mpg on the highway, though the test G63 AMG managed just 10 mpg in city driving and 12.1 mpg in mixed city/ highway travel.

With just 1,330 sold in the United States last year, the swaggering G-Class vehicles are not seen much on our roads.

But their road presence, the intoxicating exhaust sounds of the biturbo V-8 in the 2013 AMG and the sump-

tuous alcantara- and leather-clad interior make these vehicles unforgettable.

They rank as the highest-priced SUVs from Mercedes. The base, 2013 G550 with 388-horsepower V-8 has a starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price, including destination charge, of $113,905.

The starting retail price for a 2013 Mercedes G63 AMG is $135,205.

All 2013 G-Class models come standard with seven-speed automatic transmission, trendy light-emitting diode running lamps, blind spot assist, and front and rear parking sensors with rearview camera.

Competitors include the 2013 Porsche’s Cayenne SUV, which has a starting retail price of $50,575 with 300-horsepower, six-cylinder engine and goes to $146,975 for a Cayenne Turbo S with 550-horsepower, twin turbo V-8. Note that the 2013 Cayenne S Turbo is rated by the federal government at 15/22 mpg.

Another competitor in the high-end, high-power, luxury SUV segment is the 2013 Lexus LX, which has a starting MSRP, including destination charge, of $82,425 with 383-horsepower, naturally aspirated V-8. Government fuel ratings for the LX are 12/17 mpg.

But where the Cayenne and LX look like the more mainstream SUVs on today’s roads, the G-Class retains an old, utilitarian and quirky appearance.

The G-Class isn’t rounded and aerodynamic, for example.

It has upright side windows and an upright windshield that with a small amount of glass area, compar-

The metal pillars at the sides of the windshield are much narrower than those in other SUVs, so they don’t block views the way they do in other SUVs. But the upright side windows also mean it can take some getting used to seeing reflections of the driver, passengers and dashboard appear on the side window glass in certain daylight and at night.

There is a big climb up to get inside, so the test G63 AMG’s side rails, set next to the pretty, shiny and illuminated door sills, got lots of use, as did the big handles at each doorway.

Each of the leather-trimmed front seats had more than eight controls, including bolster and lumbar controls, to make them eminently comfortable.

Passengers sit upright, in chair-like fashion, so frontseat legroom is an amaz-

FAST FACTS Vehicle: 2013 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG Base price: $113,905 for G550; $135,205 for G63 AMG Price as tested: $137,505 Type: Front-engine, four-wheel drive, five-passenger, large sport utility vehicle Engine: 5.3-liter, double overhead cam, biturbo, 90-degree V-8 Mileage: 12 mpg (city), 14 mpg (highway) Top speed: 130 mph Length: 184.5 inches Wheel base: 112.2 inches Curb weight: 5,622 pounds Built in: Austria ing 52.5 inches. Back-seat cushions were shorter than expected, but there was good support, a nearly flat floor and 41.9 inches of legroom.

The G-Class does not offer third-row seating. And, despite the fact the test G63 AMG topped out at more than

$137,000, it did not include rear-seat entertainment.

The G63 AMG had awesome engine sounds that were readily heard inside the passenger compartment because dual tailpipes – two on the left side of the vehicle and two more on the right – protruded from just below the step rails at the back of the rear doors. These side exhausts were shiny silver-colored and provided a race-car look that’s not expected on an SUV. The big, 5.5-liter, double overhead cam, biturbo V-8 bristled with power and came to life quickly. But this V-8 also managed slower, city traffic well without requiring the driver to tap the brake pedal often.

The 25.4-gallon gasoline tank didn’t take long to empty, however, and premium is required. There is a 5.3-gallon reserve tank as well.

The seven-speed tranny shifted smoothly in leisurely

travel.

Upshifts were noticeable during aggressive driving, and the driver can select sport mode, manual without a clutch pedal or eco, which automatically shut down the engine at stoplights to save fuel.

With 20-inch wheels and wide tires, the test G63 AMG transmitted vibrations and impacts sizable potholes to the passenger compartment.

The G-Class is, after all, a capable and durable off-roader, with a healthy amount of ground clearance, three differential locks and a low range transfer case for rugged terrain.

Four-wheel drive is always engaged.

A couple items surprised, though. The rearview camera did not include graphic lines on the display screen showing where the vehicle was being steered. And the driver’s window did not have automatic power up capability.

ARLINGTON LEXUS IN PALATINE

BRAND NEW 2013 LEXUS

ES 350 Photo provided

A 2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed has a huge 6.0-liter, twin-turbo W-12 with 616 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. It reaches a top speed of 205 mph.

GT Speed can reach 205 mph • GT SPEED Continued from page D1 Onto the Saw Mill River Parkway with its off-camber curves and high-speed commuters darting home. The wide, low car sits flat, with no body roll at all. Then the Cross County Parkway to the Hutchinson, an enjoyable piece of road as long as it’s not packed bumper to bumper.

Dusk begins falling, the spring light goes golden and the roadside trees seem extremely green. The car runs strongly, the massive 21-inch Pirelli P Zero tires rolling along silently.

The Continental GT and GTC convertible are Bentley’s best- selling models, starting at $174,000 for the 500-hp V-8 model and $193,000 for the 567-hp W-12. Though the Speed versions are pricier and lack brag-worthy exterior badging, they’ve proved extremely popular.

The base GT was gently redesigned in the 2011 model-year, and this Speed model also gets the second-generation treatment.

The previous cars left me cold, their drive sterile and detached. The second generation cars don’t look much different, but the overall experience is far more inter-

esting.

The alterations are minor, both to the exterior and the mechanicals, but the sum is more than the changed parts, like a custom versus an off-the-rack suit.

The former feels better in slight but important ways that are not always obvious when the two are hanging in the closet.

Our test car has carbon-ceramic brakes, a $13,600 upcharge that helps explain the $251,490 price.

(The Naim audio system tacks on another $7,155.)

Carbon ceramics were first found on race cars, and the stopping power is extreme.

Yet these brakes are hard to moderate evenly. A little pressure yields little deceleration; push harder and the brakes suddenly bite down hard.

If an accident happened in front of us I could come to a mind-bendingly fast halt – but would probably be rear-ended in the process.

The idea of a “grand touring” car, or GT, which travels great distances in speed and style is nearly as old as the automobile.

We’ve reached Highway 91 toward Connecticut’s Hartford and the Bentley is proving itself more than worthy of the tradition.

I’ve got the gas pedal depressed only slightly but

effortlessly keep up with the swift traffic. I feel like I’m only using a tenth of the car’s power. (Top speed is actually 205 mph.) Bentley is owned by Wolfsburg, Germany-based Volkswagen Group and it’s clear the GT Speed is designed for long runs down the autobahn.

The model I’m driving is painted a handsomely muted shade of “Burnt Orange,” which shows off the large grill and powerful rear shoulders to best effect. The oversized wheels add extra visual heft.

The interior includes fabulous darkened aluminum panels on the front console (a $4,785 option), which mesh nicely with the dark leather and overhanging leather cowls. Masculine, yet tasteful. The knobs and window controls have that keenly-tuned sense of Bentley heft.

It’s dark now and starts to rain. I put on the windshield wipers and they clean the glass noiselessly. “That’s eerie,” Miranda says. I agree. The car is mausoleum quiet.

Almost too soon to be believed, we reach the outskirts of Boston. Max has been sleeping the entire time, cocooned in the rear.

The Bentley offers the very best of ways to conquer the most dreaded of drives.

Original equipment part might be the cure The temperature gauge in my 2001 Kia Rio says the engine is overheating, but it is not. I took the car to a local repair shop.

A mechanic checked the engine with an infrared detector and a scanner and found the engine temperature was normal. He also checked the cooling fan, and it worked normally, too. He tested the gauge and found it worked fine.

He replaced the temperature sensor, but that did not fix the trouble. He also checked the wiring in the dash and at the engine module. He couldn’t find anything wrong.

After he replaced the temperature sensor for a second time, he suggested the problem might be in the engine module. I found one at a junk yard, and he installed the part.

It did not cure the trouble.

Do you have any suggestions? – W.N., email You and your technician have done a lot of work. The fact that installation of two sensors and a powertrain control module have not cured the trouble must be frustrating for both of you.

You are probably going to think I’m a little goofy when I suggest replacing another sensor, but it’s worth a try.

If your technician has installed aftermarket parts, it’s time to try an original equipment sensor from a dealership. Sometimes when an aftermarket part does not cure an affliction, a factory original equipment part fixes a problem.

While on a road trip, right

body. Now the engine starts easily and idles, but it won’t accelerate.

Now I’m stuck. Do you have any suggestions? – B.G., email

DR. GIZMO Phil Arendt after filling the gas tank in my 1994 Volvo with a 5-cylnder engine, it stalled about a mile down the road from the gas station.

Once it stalled, I tried to restart. The engine turned as if it was going to start, but it did not. My car was towed to a local repair shop, where a mechanic replaced the distributor cap, spark plugs, spark plug wires, ignition coil and sensors on the cam and crank shaft. None of this cured the trouble. Now the mechanic is doing more tests, but he has not been able to find the cause of the trouble.

I have extended my visit with relatives, so I’m not stranded in unfamiliar territory. Do you have any suggestions? – V.G., email The fact that the trouble occurred right after filling the gas tank raises suspicion. Perhaps the fuel is contaminated. Maybe there is trouble with the fuel pump or a filter is clogged.

Ask your technician to consider these suggestions.

He might consider collecting a sample of fuel before he replaces more parts on the engine.

My 2003 Nissan Sentra with a 4-cylinder engine stalls and is hard to start. I had the computer scanned at an auto supply store. They found code 2135, so I replaced the throttle

Consider borrowing a scan tool to test the engine module for more codes. It’s possible the accelerator pedal sensor or circuit has a fault. Repair these possible issues if needed.

It’s also possible there is a poor ground connection at the engine module or it might need an update. If so, it’s time to have the vehicle towed to your favorite repair shop.

I have a 1998 Chevrolet Camaro with a 3.8-liter engine, auto transmission and 75,000 miles. The car is in like-new condition inside and out.

Recently, the engine developed a hesitation and the check engine light has been turning on and off. Some days the engine runs as good as new. On other days, the check engine light turns on and the engine hesitates when I accelerate.

I called my repair shop about the trouble. The manager said I should bring it in for tests. He said it would be better to bring it in when the condition appears, but the problem is unpredictable so it’s difficult for me to bring it to the shop.

If I bring the car to my shop when the car is running fine, is there any way for them to determine the cause of the hesitation? – W.P., email Chances are higher a

technician will find the cause of the trouble when the trouble exists, but don’t despair. The engine control module stores diagnostic codes in memory even when the engine is running normally.

Symptoms you described could be caused by a lazy oxygen sensor or exhaust gas recirculation valve. It also is possible a crankshaft sensor intermittently falters or there is a poor circuit.

Consider making an appointment with your shop even if the condition is not apparent. Chances still are pretty high a technician will be able to retrieve diagnostic codes that will lead him to a cause and repair.

The check engine light turned on in my 2004 GMC Envoy with a 4.2-liter engine.

Other than this, the vehicle runs fine. I went to an auto parts store to have a scanner check. The test found code P0455. The parts man said there was a leak in the fuel vapor system. He suggested I take the vehicle to a repair shop to have it examined. I don’t smell gasoline fumes even when parked in my garage.

Is this something I should be concerned about? What will happen if I don’t have this fixed right away? – R.K., email The code indicates a large leak in the evaporative emissions system. This system is designed to prevent fuel vapors from escaping into the atmosphere.

There are solenoids and other parts in the system that can fail and cause the discovered malfunction code. And, it does not necessarily mean there is eminent danger from liquid fuel leaks. However, you should worry about fuel vapors.

Even though your nose does not detect fuel, consider asking a repair shop to check for leaks. If vapors collect under the right conditions, they can ignite. In an enclosure, such as a garage, this type of problem could result in a fire.

I have a 2000 Dodge Caravan with a 3.0-liter engine that has a knocking noise that comes and goes. I hear the knocking when the air conditioner is on.

A mechanic checked it out and did not hear a sound from the compressor. He thought the noise was caused by the belt and tensioner. He replaced them, but the noise continued.

He is sure the compressor is not causing it.

Right now I’m continuing to drive the vehicle with the knocking sound. I went to another shop for a second opinion.

The mechanic checked the compressor and does not think it is the cause of the noise. He thinks it is coming from the transmission. I did not authorize any work.

The transmission and air conditioner work flawlessly. I hear the knocking only when the air conditioner is on.

My van is in great condition despite having 170,000 miles.

Do you have any suggestions?

– G.R.N., email Generally, if an air conditioning compressor is knocking, it is not long before it fails. Because two technicians do no not think it is the cause of the sound it’s probably not the cause.

Sounds in the transmission can travel to the front of the engine. It’s possible the second technician is headed in the right direction.

However, usually when a transmission makes noise, the sound is constant and does not occur only when the air conditioner is on.

Ask your favorite technician to consider another theory. Perhaps the sound is caused by a cracked flex plate. Stresses on the engine caused by the extra load of the air conditioner can cause the plate to move and make sounds.

The flex plate is located between the engine and transmission, so it is difficult to visually inspect the part. But a bore scope might find a crack, or a stethoscope might determine the noise is from the area of the flex plate. If so, replacing it might be the cure for this condition.

McHenry County’s unemployment rate hit 9 percent in June, up from 8.8 percent a year ago, according to preliminary data released Thursday by the U.S. Department of Labor and the Illinois Department of Employment Security.

The jobless rate in Crystal Lake was 9.5 percent compared with 9.1 percent in June 2012, said IDES spokesman Greg Rivara. Other jobless numbers showed Algonquin at 9.3 percent, up from 8.9 percent a year ago; McHenry, 8.9 percent, down from 9.3 percent; and Lake in the Hills, 9.3 percent, up from 9.2 percent. Carpentersville’s jobless rate increased to 10.7 percent compared with 10.6 percent in June 2012.

In Kane County, the jobless rate rose to 9.8 percent in June, up from 9.3 percent in June 2012.

June local unemployment rates fell in eight of 12 metro areas, according to the IDES. The largest decreases were in: the Illinois suburbs of St. Louis, down 0.8 point to 8.2 percent; Lake County, down 0.5 to 8.2 percent; Rockford, down 0.5 to 11 percent; and Champaign-Urbana, down 0.4 to 8.7 percent.

Largest increases were in: Decatur, up 1.6 points to 12.5 percent; Danville. up 1.1 to 11.1 percent; Peoria, up 0.9 to 8.8 percent; and Chicago-Joliet-Naperville Metropolitan Division, up 0.7 to 10.3 percent.

Largest increases were in: Champaign-Urbana, up 1.8 percent, 1,800 jobs; Chicago-JolietNaperville, up 1.6 percent, 60,700 jobs; and Rockford, up 0.7 percent, 1,100 jobs.

Industry sectors increasing in the most metros: Educational and health services (nine of 12), financial activities (eight of 12), and leisure and hospitality (seven of 12).

“Consumer confidence must grow resilient to uncertain global and national news before monthly economic growth will consistently occur in all corners of our state,” IDES Director Jay Rowell said. “However, we are en-

couraged by the continued job growth in our larger regions.”

Not seasonally adjusted data compares the current month to the same month of the previous year. The June 2013 not seasonally adjusted Illinois rate was 9.8 percent and 12.2 percent at its peak in this economic cycle in January 2010. Nationally, the unemployment rate was 7.8 percent in June and 10.6 percent in January 2010 at its peak.

The unemployment rate identifies those who are out of work and looking for work and is not tied to collecting unemployment insurance benefits.

State’s new exchange aims to fight fraud NORTHWEST HERALD A new Internet exchange will make it easier and more efficient to protest unemployment insurance claims, identify potential fraud and protect the money used to pay unemployment benefits, the Illinois Department of Employment Security said this week.

The State Information Data Exchange System allows employers to protest unemployment claims using a secured website and a nationally standardized format. This enhancement saves money, improves eligibility decisions and protects workers’ benefits.

“SIDES allows a company to use the Internet to protest unemployment insurance claims. If you can surf the web, you can use SIDES,” IDES Di-

rector Jay Rowell said. “SIDES also protects employers and employees because it keeps more money in the Trust Fund. A healthy Trust Fund balance means less pressure to raise business taxes or lower unemployment insurance benefits.”

SIDES can save employers and employees money because it will produce timelier, more accurate decisions. Doing so means more money staying in the Trust Fund, the bank account from which unemployment benefits are paid. The account’s balance affects taxation rates and benefit payment amounts.

Employers choose to participate in SIDES through the TaxNet website: taxnet.ides.state.il.us/Login/ Default.aspx. Employers who do not have a TaxNet account can create

one at no cost. TaxNet offers many conveniences to business leaders, including the ability to file required monthly reporting, pay taxes and correct quarterly reports. Once a partner with TaxNet, employers can choose the SIDES button on the left side of the computer screen.

To establish a TaxNet account, the user will need an email address to receive SIDES notifications, a Federal Employment Identification Number and an unemployment insurance account number. For verification purposes, the process can take up to four business days. Once established, a business can authorize multiple individuals to access the TaxNet and SIDES accounts.

WASHINGTON – The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits rose by 7,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 343,000.

The increase in the week ending July 20 follows a drop of 22,000 the previous week.

But the broader trend is consistent with an improving job market.

The four-week average, which smooths out weekly fluctuations, fell 1,250 to 345,250, according to the Labor Department.

“Claims continue to signal no let-up in employment growth,” Jim O’Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, wrote in a research note.

Weekly applications data can be volatile in July. Automakers typically shut their factories the first two weeks of the month to prepare for new models, leading to temporary layoffs. But this year much of the industry has skipped or shortened the shutdowns to meet stronger demand.

Applications are a proxy for layoffs. They’re down nearly 8 percent this year.

Employers have added an average 202,000 new jobs a month this year, up from an average 183,000 in 2012.

In June, employers added 195,000 jobs. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate stayed at 7.6 percent last month but is down from 8.2 percent a year earlier.

Job growth has been solid despite lackluster economic growth. Economists expect the economy grew at an annual rate of less than 1 percent in the April-June quarter, even worse than an unimpressive 1.8 percent the first three months of the year.

Federal spending cuts that took effect in March have hobbled economic growth.

Many economists are hopeful that steady hiring will help spur faster growth in the second half of the year.

More than 4.8 million Americans were receiving unemployment benefits the week that ended July 6, the latest data available. That is down nearly 20 percent from 6 million a year earlier.

Some parts of the economy have proven resilient.

The U.S. housing recovery is strengthening, for example. Sales of newly built homes rose 8.3 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 497,000, the Commerce Department said Wednesday.

ccashman@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – AptarGroup Inc. reported sales increased 11 percent to $641 million for the quarter ended June 30, up from $578 million a year ago.

Aptar Stelmi, which was acquired in July 2012, contributed approximately $39 million or 7 percent to the quarterly sales growth.

For the first six months of 2013, AptarGroup reported sales increased 8 percent to $1.26 billion from $1.17 billion a year ago.

The Crystal Lake-based company said earnings per share for the second quarter were 73 cents, up from 61 cents from the prior year.

AptarGroup Inc. is a leading global supplier of a broad range of dispensing systems for the beauty, personal care, home care, pharmaceutical, food, and beverage markets. AptarGroup has manufacturing facilities in North America, Europe, Asia and South America.

AptarGroup also announced Wednesday it is increasing capacity at its Aptar Stelmi facilities in Europe, and establishing a new Aptar manufacturing facility in Colombia to serve the Andean region.

“End market diversity continues to be a key strength of our business,” said Stephen Hagge, AptarGroup president and CEO. “Our Pharma segment benefited from increased demand from both the consumer health care and prescription drug markets while our Food + Beverage segment also experienced increased sales to each of its markets. In our Beauty + Home segment, increased demand from the personal care market was partially offset by decreased demand from the

Crystal Lake’s AptarGroup has grown its beverage market through products such as MiO, which flavors water with a unique Aptar-designed dispensing feature. beauty and home care markets. Also, Aptar Stelmi continued to perform well.”

AptarGroup announced plans to increase the capacity of its Aptar Stelmi business with a $26 million investment for expanded facilities, new equipment and upgraded technology over the next year.

Aptar Stelmi is a European-based supplier of elastomer primar packaging components to the injectable drug delivery industry. Aptar Stelmi’s products include syringe plungers, vial stoppers, and needle shields.

“Aptar Stelmi is benefiting from the growth in the injectable drug delivery industry and the current production facilities are nearly at full capacity” Hagge said. “While our longterm objective is to establish a production fa-

cility closer to growing markets outside of Europe, our initial investment in capacity expansion will be at Aptar Stelmi’s existing facilities in Europe. This will allow us to better serve our existing customers and integrate the new technology before we expand globally.”

After decades of serving customers in the Andean region by importing products from various facilities, AptarGroup is establishing a production facility in Colombia which is intended to be operational by mid-2014. In addition to regional customers, several of Aptar’s multinational customers have operations in the region.

“We have been selling into the Andean region for some time and we want to better serve our customers with a local facility,” Hagge said. “Our initial capital investment in this operation is expected to be approximately $5 million over the next 18 months. We are optimistic about the growth potential for each of our segments in this region.”

AptarGroup expects earnings per share for the third quarter, before costs associated with its European Operations Optimization plan, to be in the range of 68 cents to 78 cents, compared to 62 cents per share reported in the prior year. Prior year results include a negative impact of 2 cents per share from Aptar Stelmi’s results which included acquisition accounting adjustments.

“Looking to the third quarter, we anticipate that each of our business segments will grow over the prior year,” Hagge said. “Even though we expect challenges in several of the markets we serve, the diversity of our product portfolio, geographic presence, customer base and end markets, protect us from exposure to softness in any particular market or region.”

8IN BRIEF United Continental boosts earnings 38 pct.

Taking a vacation benefits boss, employees

The parent of United Airlines says its profit rose 38 percent as it spent less on fuel and slightly boosted fares.

United cut flying by 2 percent compared to a year earlier, but passengers paid slightly more to fly. Also, United’s fuel bill dropped 10 percent as it flew less and the price of fuel dropped.

Lower fuel bills helped all of the big airlines in the most recent quarter. In the quarter ended June 30, the per-gallon cost of United’s fuel fell 8 percent. But oil prices have risen in recent weeks, likely dampening the relief for airlines.

A key measure of per-seat passenger revenue rose 1 percent in the most recent quarter as United recovered.

United Continental Holdings Inc. earned $469 million, or $1.21 per share, for the quarter. It would have earned $1.35 per share if not for special items. That’s a penny better than expected by analysts surveyed by FactSet. A year ago it earned $339 million, or 89 cents per share.

Revenue rose almost 1 percent to $10 billion, about what analysts had expected.

“A vacation is what you take – when you can no longer take what you have been taking!”

Earl Wilson’s famous quote is truer today than ever before. Our high-tech world which is supposed to simplify has led to stress and information overload. You never know how badly you need a vacation until you take one.

Last year, a CareerBuilder survey found that more than 80 percent of managers planned to take a summer vacation, and that percentage looks to be similar this year. Unfortunately, that still leaves almost two out of every 10 bosses who aren’t going to take a break from the daily grind. Considering the stress and responsibility that comes with a leadership role, it’s critical that all leaders schedule some downtime for themselves.

Vacation is the pause that refreshes. Vacations bring time to renew, reengage with family, accumulate new experiences, and stimulate imagination and innovation.

It is easy to argue that you’re too busy or play too vital of a role to take time off. But, the positive,

Southwest Airlines’ 2Q profit slips 2 pct.

DETROIT – General Motors’ second-quarter profit topped expectations as a solid performance in North America offset declining profit in some international markets and more losses in Europe.

GM’s net income excluding items amounted to 84 cents per share in the three months ended June 30. That was 9 cents better than analysts surveyed by FactSet had expected.

Overall, net income fell 16 percent in the quarter as GM faced tougher competition in Asia-Pacific countries outside of China. The company’s finance chief said Thursday that Japanese rivals used a weaker yen to lower prices.

GM earned $1.26 billion from April through June, or 75 cents per share. That compares with $1.5 billion, or 90 cents per share, a year ago.

GM earned $1.98 billion before taxes in North America,

DALLAS – Southwest Airlines Co., which owns AirTran Airways, said that secondquarter net income was $224 million, or 31 cents per share, down 2 percent from $228 million, or 30 cents per share, a year ago.

Revenue increased less than 1 percent to $4.64 billion.

Southwest said that was a second-quarter record, but it fell short of analysts’ forecasts of $4.66 billion.

Traffic increased about 3 percent, and the average oneway fare rose less than a buck – to $151.23. The rate of fare increases has slowed from 2011, when airlines raised prices quickly to offset higher fuel costs.

WORKFORCE Terri Greeno long-term effects of a vacation far outweigh any short-term negatives.

According to a U.S. News and World Report article, taking a vacation can reduce your risk of heart disease, increase your reaction time, lower stress, improve your outlook on life, and increase your productivity. Those are not only good benefits for you, but also your employees. After all, who doesn’t want a stress-free, happier boss?

With a little bit of forethought and by following a few guidelines, your time away from the office shouldn’t cause any additional stress or headaches.

• Plan ahead: Unless your employees are very independent and accustomed to your absence, unexpectedly dropping a last-minute vacation on them is probably not wise. Timing plays a big part. Even though vacation is a very good thing, if a crisis of serious consequence arises, making

an adjustment shows that you, as a leader, are aware and can be trusted to take their responsibility seriously.

Plan your time off and get it on the calendar and your workers’ radars as far in advance as possible. This will allow time for you to effectively delegate tasks and for employees to become familiar with any new responsibilities before you take your much-needed break. Make very clear exactly what is expected to happen and how it is to happen. If something may arise that would require your attention, assure the team how you can be reached.

• Prepare for your return: While it’s easy to be focused on the vacation itself, take a few minutes to think ahead to your return. Whether you plan to be gone for a long weekend or a two-week sabbatical, you’re going to need time to catch up on projects and re-adjust to your normal work pace. Consider blocking out your calendar for at least your first day back so you aren’t immediately sucked back into a whirlwind of meetings. You might even plan to return to work a day early but not

tell anyone.

• Protect your time: In order to have a stress-free, relaxing vacation, communicate to your employees how and under what circumstances you can be reached. If possible, cut off all forms of communication with the office, including emails and texts. If that’s not realistic, lay out some ground rules so those left behind know what constitutes a valid reason to contact you. Also, give them a preferred form of communication so you know if you should be checking your email or watching your cell phone. Having fun can be hard work but thinking ahead will increase the fun.

Everyone needs a break sometimes, even business leaders. It’s vital to your own productivity and motivation that you give yourself permission to leave the office and schedule time for relaxation. In the end, your colleagues and employees will thank you.

General Motors 2Q profit beats estimates

Facebook shares soar on big 2Q

up 4 percent over a year ago as small businesses bought more pickup trucks in the U.S. Profit in China also rose, GM said.

The company narrowed its European loss by $284 million to $110 million as cost cuts kicked in and new products such as the Opel Mokka small crossover SUV and Adam subcompact car sold well, said Chief Financial Officer Dan Ammann.

That helped to counter falling pretax profits in international operations. Competition from Japanese automakers forced GM to lower prices in Australia and Southeast Asian countries, the company said.

Ammann told reporters Thursday that Japanese automakers were using the weak yen to cut prices in Southeast Asia and Australia. The yen has been falling against other currencies, making goods made in Japan less expensive when sold in other countries, including the U.S. “We don’t see that abating

Ammann said GM would build on its performance in Europe during the second half, but wouldn’t say if the loss would be cut further.

“The things that we control we feel very good about,” Ammann said of Europe. “Obviously what we don’t control is the European macro environment. That remains very challenging, but we’re making good progress despite that.”

In North America, Ammann said he expected improved performance in the second half as GM gets the full benefit of rolling out its redesigned full-size pickup trucks, the Chevy Corvette sports car, an all-new Cadillac CTS and other new models.

“That’s going to give us a good tail wind into the second half,” he said.

Overall, GM’s revenue rose 4 percent to just over $39 billion, beating Wall Street’s estimate of $37.7 billion.

Worldwide sales rose 4 percent to 2.49 million vehicles.

Facebook shares soared Thursday after the social media giant pushed aggressively into mobile advertising and reported muchimproved second-quarter revenue and profit.

Facebook reported after the market closed Wednesday that revenue jumped 53 percent to $1.81 billion for the period. It also reversed a year-ago loss.

Those numbers evaporated doubts about Facebook’s ability to capitalize on the mobile market.

Facebook shares jumped more than 30 percent Thursday, closing at $34.35.

Home builder PulteGroup plunged 10 percent to $16.55 after reporting a 14 percent drop in profits.

The Dow Jones industrial average edged up 13.37 points to close at 15,555 Thursday.

Mary Lou Retton, who won one gold, two silver and two bronze medals in the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, said about her training regimen: “I gave up my childhood. I missed proms and games and highschool events, and people said it was awful. I say it was a good trade.”

Her hard work gained her entry -- the ifth letter of my “trade” acronym -- into the United States Olympic team.

Bridge players should always keep their eyes on entries. It is easier for declarer, who can see all of his assets.

But for the defenders, it is no use having winners ready to be cashed if that player does not have an entry card to gain the lead.

In this deal, how should East hope to defeat three no-trump after West leads a fourth-highest spade four?

When the dummy comes down, East should count up the points. South showed 1517, dummy has 12, and East holds 10. That leaves only 1-3 for West. If West has king-ifth of spades, there is no danger. But if West has only the spade jack, he cannot have an entry card in another suit.

East must reject the usual

defense of winning with the spade ace (third hand high) and returning the queen.

South would duck, take the third spade, and run the club queen to collect an overtrick.

Instead, East must smoothly play his spade queen at trick one.

Yes, if South ducks, he makes his contract. But why would he? That would be suicidal if West has the spade ace-jack and club king. Instead, South will win the irst trick and take the club inesse. But East wins with his king, cashes the spade ace, and leads his last spade for down one.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - Although you might become involved in several enterprises in the year ahead, try to single out the ones that have legitimate promise. Otherwise, you might be kept busy, but constantly be anxious.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Usually, you are singleminded in your plans. Today, however, you could muddle your affairs by involving yourself in several projects, not properly following through on any of them.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Favors that you request today could either be ignored or carried out poorly by associates. To be on the safe side, it’s best you rely solely upon yourself and not on others.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- By including too many people in your plans today, your endeavors could be overshadowed by everyone else wanting to follow their own ideas. You could be left on the outside looking in.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Unfortunately, if you’re not careful, you could get caught smack in the middle of a situation where you have to please everybody. Don’t get snookered into it -- it’s an impossible situation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Even if your strong views are diametrically opposed to those of your colleagues, allow your intellectual adversaries a chance to express their thoughts. The helpful things you learn might surprise you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You’re right to be wary of a promotional scheme presented to you by an entrepreneur with a poor track record. She or he could be promoting another pig in a poke.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- There will be an eventual day of reckoning if you don’t guard against impulses to make commitments that you never intend to follow through on, just to appease others.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- To use your time productively, you must first have a feasible, effective game plan and then stick to it. You may be tempted to start more than you’ll be able to finish -- don’t give in.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Without thinking, you could allow an associate to lay claim to some of your resources. What’s yours does not belong to anyone else unless you choose to give it. Use your discretion.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Although you might get off to a good start by knuckling down to business, favorable results are questionable because you could let up just when the finish line is in sight.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Just because a friend has an idea, don’t automatically give it credence. Check things out thoroughly -- this glib pal might have a rather unsound plan.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Being willing to work hard is not the total answer for achieving success today.

Unless you take off your blinders and evaluate things for what they are, you risk wasting your time and effort.
