Generation often cares for parents, children

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO

THE BOOM ’46-’64 Soldiers returned from World War II to an economy that exploded and brought prosperity. They went to college, married and started having babies – creating the largest generation of children ever born in the United States.

The generation born during these years, roughly 1946 to 1964, are the baby boomers.

The Northwest Herald presents a three-day series on baby boomers, who are turning 65 at a rate of 10,000 a day.

As they age, we can expect to see new pressures on our health care and social Articles will focus on: Sunday – Family Monday – Health Tuesday – Employment

The Harvard couple were supposed to be empty-nesters, enjoying a hard-earned freedom after raising a family during the last two decades.

They never thought they would be asking their 24-yearold son, Aaron, for rent for living at home for the past few years or helping their 19-year-old son Evan land a job, while doing daily errands for Evonne Bruce’s 71-yearold mother, Delorise.

But yet, they are still caring for family members at vastly different stages in life – a product, experts note, of a baby boomer generation sandwiched between other ones.

CRYSTAL LAKE – In less than two weeks, Scott Alcock had planned to marry his longtime girlfriend. Just last month, he was set to close on his first home.

The Crystal Lake resident had a good job. He had loving parents. Three supportive brothers. A devoted fiancée.

A college degree. A large group of friends.

His life’s puzzle was coming together. And with his marriage to 28-year-old Jessica Maioni set for Aug. 10, his plans were almost complete.

The two had been engaged for two years and dated for more than a decade, said his parents, Patrick and Carol Alcock.

“He had all his ducks in a row. He had all these plans,” Patrick Alcock said.

Quinn signs bill allowing online voter registration The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – In a step supporters hope will propel more young people to the polls, Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation Saturday to make Illinois the 18th state to allow online voter registration.

The system, which must be in place by July of next year, is aimed at increasing the number of people taking the first step to voting while cutting the administrative costs of processing registrations on paper.

Backers are confident the system will be secure and will not lead to an increase in voter fraud.

Northwest Herald Web Poll Question The Northwest Herald invites you to voice your opinion. Log on to www.

Which generation are you?

GENERAL INFORMATION: 815-459-4040

Football in July? Why not?

It’s July, and all I’ve got on my mind is football.

Yes, the weather these past few days has seemed more fall-like than middle-of-summer. (Overnight temperatures regularly in the 50s? In late July?

Are you kidding me?)

And neither the Cubs nor Sox are giving area baseball fans reason to pay attention.

But that’s not why I’ve been eating, drinking and sleeping football.

Training camp opened for the Bears on Friday, and for these past few weeks, I and other Northwest Herald journalists have spent countless hours working on an exciting new project.

In case you haven’t noticed in our Sports pages recently, we hired longtime Pro Football Weekly editor and publisher Hub Arkush to lead our Bears coverage this season.

Arkush, who also appears on WSCR 670-AM The Score in Chicago, is considered one of the top NFL analysts in the country. Now, he’s analyzing the Bears fulltime for the Northwest Herald and other Shaw Media publications.

As part of the project, we launched a new website, HubArkush.com, just last week.

For Bears fans who can’t get enough of their favorite team, HubArkush.com is the place to go to satisfy your fix.

“Our plan for HubArkush.com is to bring football lovers everywhere the best of what I’ve done at Pro Football Weekly for the last 35 years with a hyper-local focus on the Chicago Bears

VIEWS Dan McCaleb and the NFC North, 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” Arkush said when we launched the site. “If you love football and you love the Chicago area, you’ll love HubArkush.com.”

In just the first few days, we posted more than 120 stories and a dozen videos.

Here’s an excerpt of Arkush’s column after meeting new Bears Head Coach Marc Trestman:

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.

“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 a very 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.

Arkush is joined by another Pro Football Weekly alum, Kevin Fishbain, and Northwest Herald Chicago sports columnist Tom Musick, in covering the Bears.

In addition to following them in our Sports pages and at HubArkush.com, you also can follow them on Twitter as @Hub_Arkush, @kfishbain and @ tcmusick.

We’re not even a week into training camp, and I’ve got football fever.

I hope you catch it with me.

8TODAY’S TALKER

Detroit bankruptcy a setback for unions WASHINGTON – Detroit’s historic bankruptcy filing is a major setback for public employee unions that have spent years trying to ward off cuts to the pensions of millions of government workers around the country.

If the city’s gambit succeeds, it could jeopardize an important bargaining tool for unions, which often have deferred higher wages in favor of more generous pensions and health benefits.

It also could embolden other financially troubled cities dealing with pension shortfalls to consider bankruptcy, or at least take a harder line with their unions in negotiating cuts.

“This is essentially the union’s worst nightmare,” said Gary Chaison, professor of industrial relations at Clark University in Worcester, Mass. “It means that the most sacred of sacred things they’ve negotiated for, the pensions of their retired members, are going to be severely cut.”

Detroit’s bankruptcy filing comes on the heels of some public unions losing most of their collective bargaining rights in Wisconsin. At the same time, the unions have shed thousands of members as state and local governments shrink public payrolls.

The crisis of underfunded public pensions could further erode union clout.

From Chicago to Cincinnati to Santa Fe, N.M., dozens of cities and counties are struggling with massive debt linked to pension liabilities.

Dan McNamara, president of the Detroit Fire Fighters Association, speaks to firefighters Wednesday outside the Theodore Levin United States Courthouse in Detroit. Detroit’s historic bankruptcy filing is a major setback for public sector unions that have spent years trying to ward off cuts to the pensions and benefits of government workers.

Critics say state and city employees won generous defined benefit pensions and lifetime health care from elected officials trying to curry favor with public sector unions.

Unlike private employers that must fund such defined benefit pensions under the Employee Retirement Security Act, government employers are not covered by that statute. As a result, many elected officials approved such plans, leaving the financial consequences for future leaders to handle.

If cities such as Detroit can use bankruptcy to reduce pension obligations, government employees could become less interested in union membership, said Charles Craver, a George Washington University law professor specializing in labor relations. That would

be more bad news for the shrinking labor movement, especially because public employees now make up over half of all union members.

“Union leaders should go to the bargaining table and try to address this issue through negotiations, but they fear being thrown out of office if they agree to any cutbacks,” Craver said, referring to pensions.

Detroit’s financial woes were aggravated by widespread corruption, financial mismanagement, the auto industry collapse and a dramatically shrunken tax base as people moved out. The city has long-term debts of at least $18 billion, including $3.5 billion in unfunded pensions and $5.7 billion in underfunded health benefits for about 21,000 retired workers. The

rest is owed to bondholders and other unsecured creditors.

About 7.3 million government workers belong to a union. The union membership rate for public sector workers is about 40 percent, much higher than the 6.6 percent rate in the private sector.

The fallout from Detroit could lead to more acrimonious contract negotiations between cities and union, said John Beck, a professor of labor relations at Michigan State University.

“If I’m a union and bargaining, where I used to be willing to defer wages in form of pensions, I’m going to bargain for what I can get right now because I can’t be sure whether those future wages are going to be protected,” Beck said.

Kankakee boy a culinary star in the making

By DENNIS YOHNKA The (Kankakee) Daily Journal KANKAKEE – Ethan Gentry enjoys baking, especially when he can use his family’s old-fashioned cherry pie recipes.

He also likes making omelets and crepes. He’s willing to peel real potatoes for his mashed potatoes. And he even makes his own bread and butter.

But he doesn’t own a chef’s hat. He doesn’t even have his own mixer. He’s looking forward to the day when he does, but he’s just 11 years old. Culinary school is well down the road for this little Kankakee kitchen star.

“I collect basketball cards and I’m on a swim team. I’m not always cooking,” he said.

“But I would like to be an executive chef some day. I say ‘executive,’ because I want to

do everything – bake and cook all kinds of things.”

This passion was kindled by cooking with his grandmother, when Ethan was 4 or 5. And it’s fitting that he pays tribute to his mentors with what he calls his “Double Grandma Cherry Pie.” The crust recipe comes from his great-grandmother on one side of the family, the filling from his grandmother on the other. And it’s a fancy lattice top crust.

“It didn’t come from me,” said his mother, Karen. “I cook carry-out.”

Ethan’s father, Tim, on the other hand, is pretty good in the kitchen. But he has one problem with Ethan’s culinary style.

“He doesn’t like my messes,” the future sixth-grader said, noting that he has tried to explain the French concept of “mise en place.” It’s a style

Judge: Infomercial pitchman in contempt for not paying fine The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – A federal judge has found author and infomercial pitchman Kevin Trudeau in contempt of court for failing to pay a more than $37 million fine imposed over misleading ads for one of his wildly popular weight-loss books.

Friday’s ruling was the latest round in more than a decade of legal battles that began with a suit filed by the Federal Trade Commission.

The regulatory agency alleged some of Trudeau’s infomercials included false and misleading statements about his books.

A federal judge in Chicago agreed and ordered him to

stop. Then in 2007, Judge Robert Gettleman fined Trudeau $37.6 million for violating the order.

On Friday, Gettleman said Trudeau failed to pay and ordered him to transfer ownership of companies and financial accounts to a court-appointed receiver. Gettleman Kevin found him in Trudeau contempt, opting not to give him jail time out of concern that those hurt by his actions would never get compensated.

He likened Trudeau to a puppet master in control of a vast network being used to

keep his assets hidden and suggested that without his cooperation there would be no way to get at that money.

“Mr. Trudeau is a puppet master who has a lot of strings out there and I’m not sure he can pull those strings from jail,” Gettleman said, according to WMAQ-TV. Despite no formal medical training and several criminal convictions, Trudeau has sold millions of books offering cures for dozens of ailments, from faltering memory to hair loss.

They have titles such as “The Weight Loss Cure ‘They’ Don’t Want You to Know About,” the book at the center of his latest legal trouble.

sounds like “mess in place” and he doesn’t think his son needs any encouragement to be sloppy around the stove.

Ethan’s brother Quentin,

13, doesn’t share Ethan’s passion, but the family enjoys the products of his labors.

“But we don’t eat a lot of pies and things that I make,” he said. “Sometimes I make them just to take to my swimming coach, and I shared pound cake and bread with teachers at school.”

Ethan’s kitchen habits are already changing his life. Gifts tend to be cooking-related: He’s received a special knife his grandfather made for him and a springform pan for baking cheesecakes, so far. His favorite TV show: “Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives.” Host and chef Guy Fieri is his favorite TV character.

“My plans? Well, right now I would hope that my cooking experience helps me at culinary school and maybe someday I’d like to be on one of those cooking [contest] shows,” he explained.

Of course, there are downsides to his interest in cooking.

There was the grease fire that broke out during the indoor preparation of bratwurst. And there was the time he decided he would try a lobster at “market price” at a local restaurant.

More often, though, he has successes.

“I’m looking forward to getting some fresh pumpkin this fall and trying some dishes with real pumpkin, not out of a can,” he said, as his mother sat next to him and smiled.

“And I’d like to try a flambe [igniting a dish, usually with alcohol],” he added, as his mother’s eyebrows went up.

Also on the horizon: The Chef’s Challenge cooking contest at the Kankakee Farmers’ Market.

“My dad competed in that, and he didn’t win,” Ethan said.

“But maybe I’d have a better shot as, you know, a kid.”

Shakespeare in Chicago parks starts Sunday

production.

CARBONDALE – A southern Illinois minister is facing charges after authorities said he stole more than $100,000 from a Carbondale church.

Thirty-two-year-old Joshua D. Swain was charged Friday with two felonies for theft and aggravated identity theft.

The Cobden man is scheduled to make an initial appearance in Jackson County court Tuesday afternoon.

Prosecutors said Swain stole the money from The View Church and also used the name of a congregation member to obtain more than $10,000 from a bank.

Church officials told WSIL-TV that Swain no longer works for the church. No telephone listing for Swain could be located.

CHICAGO – Chicago Shakespeare Theater will launch its tour of the city’s parks Sunday.

The theater’s official opening will be at Eckhart Park on Sunday afternoon. Chicago Shakespeare in the Parks will perform “The Comedy of Errors” free in 18 neighborhood parks through Aug. 25. Organizers expect 20,000 people to attend the performances.

Last year was the first season for the program. It’s a partnership among the Chicago Shakespeare Theater, the city of Chicago and the Chicago Park District.

Mokena man sentenced for women’s DUI deaths JOLIET – A northeast Illinois man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for a drunk-driving collision that killed a 72-year-old woman and her 92-year-old mother.

Prosecutors said Joseph E. Slattery of Mokena was driving under the influence Aug. 28, 2011, when his car veered over the center line and struck another vehicle carrying three people.

The driver, Margaret Simons, was pronounced dead at the scene. Simons’ mother, Suzanne Thompson, died at a hospital several hours later.

One man survived but was badly injured.

One-time rivals Gunman in Fla. shooting ID’d Obama, McCain Pedro Vargas, 42, started fire in building, killed six people in standoff now partners

By CHRISTINE ARMARIO The Associated Press

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – There was no conciliatory phone call, no heart-to-heart talk to soothe the tensions. No one knows exactly when President Barack Obama and Republican Sen. John McCain went from bitter rivals in the 2008 presidential campaign and foes over health care and national security to bipartisan partners.

Yet in recent months, an alignment on high-profile domestic issues – not to mention an eye on their President respective lega- Barack cies – has transObama formed Obama and McCain into Washington’s most unexpected odd couple. The Arizona senator is a regular visitor to the West Sen. John Wing and in McCain near-daily con- R-Ariz. tact with senior White House officials.

McCain, in an Associated Press interview, said that he and Obama “trust each other.” White House chief of staff Denis McDonough, among the Obama advisers who speak regularly with McCain, praised the lawmaker as a “refreshing” partner who “welcomes a debate and welcomes action.”

Like any good business arrangement in the nation’s capital, the secret to the new Obama-McCain alliance ultimately comes down to this: Both sides believe that working together is mutual-

ly beneficial and carries little political risk.

For Obama, the senator has become a rare Republican backer of important elements on the president’s second term agenda, including immigration overhaul, stricter background checks for gun buyers, and perhaps a fall budget deal.

In return, McCain has secured increased access to the White House and an opportunity to redeem his reputation as a Capitol Hill “maverick.”

That image was tainted when McCain tacked to the right during his failed 2008 presidential run against Obama.

“I’ve told the people of Arizona, I will work with any president if there are ways I can better serve Arizona and the country,” McCain said.

“That seems to be an old-fashioned notion but it’s the case.”

Indeed, the level of attention lavished on a functional working relationship between the Democratic president and the Republican senator underscores how rare such partnerships have been during Obama’s tenure.

Lawmakers, including some Democrats, long have chafed at Obama’s distant dealings with Capitol Hill and his supposed lack of understanding about how Congress operates.

It’s unlikely that Obama and McCain’s partnership will lead to a larger detente between the White House and congressional Republicans.

While McCain may have sway over some like-minded members of the Senate Republican caucus, he has considerably less influence with his party’s more conservative wing, particularly in the GOP-controlled House.

immediately notified police, Zogby said.

Vargas, who has no known criminal record, set a combustible liquid on fire in his fourth-floor apartment.

Building manager Italo Pisciotti, 79, and his wife, Camira Pisciotti, 69, saw smoke and ran to the unit, Zogby said.

When they arrived, Vargas opened the door and fired, killing both.

Detectives were investigating whether Vargas had any ongoing disputes with the building manager, as some residents believed. His

mother was not home at the time.

After gunning down the building managers, Vargas went back into his burning apartment and fired 10 to 20 shots from a 9mm pistol into the street. One of the bullets struck 33-year-old Carlos Javier Gavilanes, who was parking his car after returning home from work. Zogby said his body was found next to his vehicle.

The gunman then kicked his way into a third-floor apartment, where he shot to death Patricio Simono, 54;

HIALEAH, Fla. – A man living with his mother in a South Florida apartment complex set their unit on fire and went on a shooting rampage throughout the building, killing six people before being shot to death by police. As the eight-hour standoff unfolded, horrified residents hunkered down in their homes, at times so close to the action they could hear the gunfire and hear negotiations between the gunman and police, authorities and witnesses said Saturday.

At one point, Pedro Vargas, 42, held two people hostage at gunpoint for up to three hours in their apartment until a SWAT team entered and killed him, police said. The hostages were not hurt.

“The crime scene is the whole building,” said Lt. Carl Zogby, a spokesman with the Hialeah Police Department.

Police were called to the aging, five-story apartment building in Hialeah, a working class suburb a few miles northwest of downtown Miami, on Friday at 6:30 p.m.

The first calls reported a fire, but when firefighters arrived, they heard shots and

All six people were killed in a short time span, Zogby said, and it’s possible they were all dead by the time police arrived.

Officers and Vargas then engaged in an hours-long shootout and chase, with police following the gunman from one floor to the next.

“He kept running from us as he fired at us and we fired at him,” Zogby said.

Several hours into the ordeal, Vargas forced his way into a fifth-story unit and held two people captive. Sgt. Eddie Rodriguez said negotiators and a SWAT team tried talking with him from the other side of the door.

Miriam Valdes, 70, was in a friend’s apartment two doors down. She said she heard officers trying to convince Vargas to surrender.

“Pedro, let these people out,” Valdes said officers told him. “We’re going to help you.”

She said the gunman first asked for his girlfriend and then his mother but refused to cooperate.

A poster soliciting information regarding an unidentified body is seen Tuesday near the site where the body was found in New York. More than two decades after the body of a child was found inside a cooler, the New York Police Department is seeking help identifying the girl dubbed “Baby Hope.”

NYPD seeking info in ‘Baby Hope’ cold case The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – It was more than 20 years ago when a highway worker smelled something rotting inside a picnic cooler discarded near the Henry Hudson Parkway in New York City. He flipped it over and out tumbled the bound, decomposing body of a little girl and a few full cans of Coke.

Despite the efforts of New York Police Department detectives who worked the case for years, she remains anonymous even today, known only as Baby Hope, age 3 to 5.

On July 23, the 22nd anniversary of the discovery, coldcase detectives canvassed the Manhattan neighborhood near where the blue cooler was tossed, plastered notices on signposts and announced a $12,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest and conviction in the unsolved crime.

“My main goal is to ID this

girl,” said Det. Robert Dewhurst of the Cold Case Apprehension Squad. “Somebody’s gotta know this kid. This girl had somewhat of a life with people who should know who she is ... friends, family, somebody.”

Dewhurst says if they could just figure out her name, they can finally identify her killer.

Baby Hope is one of 650 unidentified children ages 1 to 21 in a database at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, according to Bob Lowery, the executive director of the missing children’s division. But there are probably thousands of unidentified kids nationwide, he said.

A newer, government-run national database known as the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System has details on more than 10,000 people of all ages.

Workers at the center try to match the unidentified in their database with their vast lists

of missing children, but the painstaking process doesn’t often yield results.

“Even though they are tragedies, some good may come.

It’s very helpful for law enforcement to have the name so they can investigate,” Lowery said. “And for parents and loved ones who can get the answers they’ve been looking for.”

But that’s not likely the case for Baby Hope, detectives say. Her body was found naked and malnourished and showed signs of possible sex abuse. Retired Det. Jerry Giorgio, who worked the case from the beginning, said their theory was she was dumped there by the people who were supposed to be caring for her. They abused her and eventually suffocated her.

Detectives believe she was dead six to eight days before the cooler was found, on an incline, dumped on the grass like garbage.

Former Rep. Lindy Boggs of Louisiana dies at 97

Warm weather means early Calif. grape harvest

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indianapolis Fire Department said three people were killed when a bus carrying teens from a church camp crashed on a busy thoroughfare.

Indianapolis Fire Department Lt. Ato McTush said the dead included a man and a woman.

He did not have information about the third victim.

Witnesses said the bus came off Interstate 465 at a high rate of speed Saturday afternoon, struck a retaining wall as it tried to round a curve and overturned.

Some of the injured were taken to hospitals by helicopter.

WASHINGTON – Former Rep. Lindy Boggs of Louisiana, who used the soft-spoken grace of a plantation lady to fight for civil rights during nearly 18 years in Congress, has died.

She was 97.

Her daughter, ABC News journalist Cokie Roberts, said her mother died Saturday of natural causes at her home in Chevy Chase, Md. Boggs’ years in Congress started with a special election in 1973 to finish the term of her husband, Hale, whose plane disappeared over Alaska six months earlier. Between them, they served a half-century in the House.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – There’s no such thing as “normal” weather in California wine country, and vineyard operators say that truism could mean good news for wine lovers this year. After cool temperatures slowed ripening and kept grapes on the vine until fall in recent years, growers in the nation’s premier wine region are facing a heat wave making for one of the earliest harvests in recent memory.

Wine grapes are one of California’s top commodities, a crop worth $3.2 billion on the vine last year that created more than $34 billion worth of wine.

Obama pays tribute to Korean war veterans The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Six decades after the Korean War ended, President Barack Obama said Saturday that American veterans deserved a better homecoming from a war-weary nation and that their legacy is the 50 million people who live freely in a democratic South Korea.

“Here in America, no war should ever be forgotten, and no veteran should ever be overlooked,” he said in a speech at the Korean War Veterans Memorial on the National Mall, where ceremonies marked the 60th anniversary of the end of hostilities on the peninsula.

Obama said the conflict didn’t unite or divide the country the same way World War II or the Vietnam War

did, respectively, and that U.S. veterans came home to neither parades nor protests because “there was, it seemed, a desire to forget, to move on”

by Americans tired of battle.

But they “deserved better,” Obama said, President adding that, Barack on Saturday’s Obama anniversary, “perhaps the highest tribute we can offer our veterans of Korea is to do what should have been done the day you came home.”

He appealed for people to pause and let these veterans “carry us back to the days of their youth and let us be awed by their shining deeds.” In the audience of several thousand

Hospital releases Spain train driver; still in police custody The ASSOCIATED PRESS SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, Spain – The injured driver of the Spanish train that derailed at high speed, killing 78 and injuring dozens more, was released from the hospital Saturday, but he was still being held in a police station as authorities increasingly focused on his culpability.

Francisco Jose Garzon Amo was to appear before a judge by Sunday evening, a hotly awaited opportunity for him to give his explanation for Spain’s deadliest train crash in decades.

Garzon has been under the microscope, with the country’s railway agency saying it was his responsibility to brake before going into the high-risk curve where the train careered off the rails and smashed into a wall. It’s still not clear whether the brakes failed or were never used, and Garzon has remained mum so far.

“There is rational evidence to lead us to think that the driver could have eventual responsibility,” Interior Minister Jorge Fernandez Diaz told reporters at the crash site near the Catholic pilgrimage town of Santiago De Compostela.

He said Garzon was now

being held on suspicion of negligent homicide. Authorities had previously said he was detained on suspicion of recklessness.

Speaking later at the police station, the minister also said that if Garzon were to choose to give a statement to the police before testifying in front of a judge, his lawyer would be called.

So far the driver has opted to use his constitutional right to remain silent, “although he may change his mind on that,” Fernandez Diaz said.

The wreckage still remained near the site on Saturday, as passenger trains passed by. Black ribbons of mourning dotted the Santiago de Compostela and flags flew at half-staff. Makeshift shrines drew mourners to the city’s cathedral.

Someone placed flowers on a bridge above the railroad tracks, with a note reading, “We are all in solidarity with the city of Santiago.”

Garzon had been expected to give a preliminary statement to judicial police as early as Thursday, but that process was delayed, reportedly due to health reasons. Earlier Saturday, the justice department said Garzon’s first appearance before a judge had been postponed until Sunday.

on a sunny and humid morning were dozens of American and Korean veterans of the war. Obama asked them to stand and be recognized.

The 1950-1953 war had North Korean and Chinese troops on one side against U.S.-led United Nations and South Korean forces. It ended on July 27, 1953, 60 years ago Saturday, with the signing of an armistice.

A formal peace treaty was never signed, leaving the Korean Peninsula in a technical state of war and divided at the 38th parallel between its communist north and democratic south. More than 36,000 Americans were killed in the conflict. The U.S. still has 28,500 troops based in the south.

Yet the costs of the war continue to mount even amid relative peace.

Egyptians mourn supporters of Egypt’s ousted President Mohammed Morsi, who were killed in overnight clashes with security forces, in a field hospital Saturday in Nasr City, Cairo. Clashes erupted early Saturday in Cairo between security forces and supporters of Morsi, killing scores of protesters and overwhelming field hospitals with the wounded, the Health Ministry said.

Dozens of Morsi backers killed in Egypt bloodshed The ASSOCIATED PRESS CAIRO – Security forces and armed men clashed with supporters of Egypt’s ousted president early Saturday, killing at least 65 people in mayhem that underscored an increasingly heavy hand against protests demanding Mohammed Morsi’s return to office.

In chaotic scenes, pools of blood stained the floor and bodies were lined up under white sheets in a makeshift hospital near the site of the battles in eastern Cairo. Doctors struggled to cope with the flood of dozens of wounded, many with gunshots to the head or chest.

It was the deadliest single outbreak of violence since the military ousted Morsi on July 3 and one of the deadliest in 2½ years of turmoil in Egypt. It was not immediately clear if the 65 killed were all protesters or if residents who

joined the fight against the march were among the dead.

The Brotherhood said that 66 Morsi supporters were killed in the Cairo violence.

The extent of the bloodshed pointed to a rapidly building confrontation between the country’s two camps, sharply divided over the coup that removed Egypt’s first freely elected president after widespread protests against his rule.

Authorities talk more boldly of making a move to end weeks of protests by Morsi’s largely Islamist supporters.

At the same time, the Islamists are growing more assertive in challenging security forces as they try to win public backing for their cause.

Saturday’s clashes were sparked when pro-Morsi protesters sought to expand their main Cairo sit-in camp by moving onto a nearby main boulevard, only to be confronted by police and armed

civilians – reportedly residents of nearby neighborhoods. Police initially fired tear gas but in ensuing clashes, the protesters came under gunfire.

Officials from Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood and their allies decried what they called a new “massacre” against their side, only weeks after July 8 clashes with army troops in Cairo that left more than 50 Morsi supporters dead.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said that he spoke to Egyptian authorities, saying it is “essential” they respect the right to peaceful protest. He called on all sides to enter a “meaningful political dialogue” to “help their country take a step back from the brink.”

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon also asked security forces to “act with full respect for human rights” and demonstrators to “exercise restraint.”

ANALYSIS

U.S. stand on Egypt ‘coup’ may have costs

By MATTHEW LEE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – For decades, foreign armies that received U.S. assistance were on notice that toppling their freely elected civilian leaders would mean an aid suspension.

After Egypt, that seems no more, despite a law requiring just that if Washington determined a coup had taken place.

The Obama administration made a technically legal move to decide not to decide if the Egyptian military’s ouster of the country’s first democratically elected president was a “coup.”

That’s now created a wide opening to skirt legislation intended to support the rule of law, good governance and human rights around the world – principles long deemed inviolable American values.

Previous U.S. administrations have endured criticism for appearing to pay them only lip service. But this new and unprecedented finding sends a confusing message that probably will resonate beyond Egypt to other fragile – and perhaps not so fragile – democracies where soldiers are unhappy with ballot box results or the policies of their elected commanders in chief.

“The law does not require us to make a formal determination ... as to whether a coup took place, and it is not in our national interest to make such a determination,” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Friday.

She spoke in the administration’s only on-camera news briefing a day after members of Congress were informed privately that the U.S. law was no longer neces-

sarily applicable.

That interpretation of the 1961 Foreign Assistance Act might come as a surprise to juntas and militaries in Mali, Madagascar, Honduras and Pakistan. All of them, and others, have coped with U.S. aid suspensions over the past decade or so because of coups. In each case, there was a presumption that the United States would make a coup determination based on the law, and it did.

The law allows aid to resume only once a democratically elected government is restored. Exceptions have been made before, notably in the case of Pakistan.

Aid to Pakistan was suspended in 1999 when Army chief Pervez Musharraf ousted then-Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, now back in the job, in a bloodless coup.

The assistance was restored by an act of Congress in 2001 for national security reasons before democracy returned after the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States.

Psaki would or could not say why the administration had decided against such a solution in the case of Egypt, clearly a vital American ally in the Middle East.

But such a fix would have required a determination that the Egyptian army had ousted President Mohammed Morsi in coup, and that step would have triggered a suspension in the $1.5 billion in aid the U.S. provides each year. Of that, $1.3 billion goes to the military.

Conversely, a determination that a coup had not occurred would have flown in the face of the uncontested facts that the army removed Morsi from power and detained him incommunicado in an undisclosed location for weeks.

Father: ‘A split-second decision on somebody’s part and he’s gone’ • FATALITIES

Summary of McHenry County fatal crashes

Continued from page A1 were in place, Alcock’s life was cut short by a tragic motorcycle crash in Lakewood, when on June 18, a driver turned in front of him, police said. A 43-year-old Lakewood woman was issued a citation after the crash.

Scott Alcock died June 20.

He was 30.

What’s left is a family and a fiancée left trying to put the puzzle back together with a new, even bigger piece that’s missing.

“A split second,” Patrick Alcock said through bleary eyes. He paused to wipe the silent tears that began to fall. “It changed the dynamics of two families. Our family is devastated.

“A split-second decision on somebody’s part and he’s gone.”

Sadly, Alcock’s story is all too common, with a growing number of motorcycle fatalities in Illinois.

Statewide, fatal accidents are up 13 percent, according to data from the Illinois Department of Transportation. In 2010, there were 131 motorcycle fatalities, a figure that rose to 148 in 2012.

Locally, IDOT reports, there have been eight motor vehicle deaths this year, two of which were on motorcycles.

In 2008, McHenry County reached a high with six motorcycle deaths. Those figures dropped in subsequent years.

There were four fatalities in 2011 and five in 2012. IDOT data also includes passengers, pedestrians and cyclists in its fatality figures.

A search of Northwest Her-

n 2013: 8 total crashes (2 motorcycle*) n 2012: 22 total crashes (5 motorcycle including one passenger) n 2011: 14 total crashes (4 motorcycle) n 2010: 15 total crashes (3 motorcycle) n 2009: 15 total crashes (2 motorcycle) n 2008: 18 total crashes (6 motorcycle) *through July 26

Source: Illinois Department of Transportation ald archives revealed there have been four serious motorcycle crashes in McHenry County this summer that injured three and killed two, including Alcock. There was one death involving a motocross rider.

Experts say it’s hard to pinpoint a single reason for the increase. But some say the increase in fatalities comes as more people – some of whom may not have had proper training – are riding motorcycles. In the past decade, there’s been a 57 percent increase in the number of registered motorcyclists in Illinois.

“Not everyone takes a motorcycle safety course,” said Jeff Carlsen, director of the fee-based Woodstock Harley-Davidson Riding School.

“There are a lot of people out there that don’t have the skills or knowledge about what to do in certain circumstances.”

Scott Alcock took a free motorcycle class offered at McHenry County College, his

parents said.

Illinois is one of three states without a mandatory helmet law. State officials say that 110 of the 145 people who died in 2011 weren’t wearing helmets.

Though he wore a helmet off and on, Scott Alcock wasn’t wearing one when he died. “[Motorcycle riders] should be twice as vigilant as those in cars, because they don’t have the protection afforded to them as they would in a car,” McHenry County Undersheriff Andy Zinke said.

“We encourage everyone to wear a helmet.”

But some motorcycle advocates say helmets can make cyclists less aware of their surroundings and have worked to defeat mandatory helmet laws.

Carol Alcock can replay Scott’s final moments in the emergency room with remarkable clarity. His intact cellphone. No blood on his clothing. Not a scratch on his body, she said.

“They let us see him and I really thought I’d be OK. It looked like he was taking a nap,” she said.

But doctors said a head injury was too catastrophic for him to recover.

Scott Alcock was an organ donor. Carol asked doctors – and they agreed – to play Jimi Hendrix, Scott’s favorite, while they harvested his organs. The family recently received word that Scott’s eyes have given sight to a person in Michigan.

But what offers the grieving mother a small bit of comfort is that Scott’s “kind heart is in somebody else’s body.”

8BRIEFS Israel to vote on freeing Palestinian prisoners

statehood.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Dozens of long-term Palestinian prisoners are up for release as part of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s attempt to restart Israeli-Palestinian talks after five years of diplomatic paralysis.

Israel’s Cabinet is being asked to approve a prisoner release in principle Sunday, as part of a Kerry-brokered deal to get the two sides back to the table.

The Cabinet vote would pave the way for a preliminary meeting of Israeli and Palestinian negotiators in Washington on Tuesday, followed by up to nine months of talks in the region on setting up a Palestinian state alongside Israel.

The fate of those held in Israeli jails is an emotionally wrought issue for Palestinians, who view the prisoners as heroes who made personal sacrifices in the struggle for

Fort Hood suspect: U.S. at war with Islam FORT HOOD, Texas – The Army psychiatrist charged in the 2009 Fort Hood mass shooting said in a statement to Fox News that the U.S. government is at war with Islam.

It’s the first statement Maj. Nidal Hasan has put out to the U.S. media. In the past, he has spoken via telephone with Al-Jazeera, the transcript of which is evidence in his upcoming trial.

“My complicity was on behalf of a government that openly acknowledges that it would hate for the law of Almighty Allah to be the supreme law of the land,” Hasan said in the lengthy statement released to Fox News on Saturday.

Hasan, 42, is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder in the November 2009 attack at the

Texas Army post. His trial is set to start Aug. 6.

Thousands protest at funeral in Tunisia TUNIS, Tunisia – Thousands of protesters chanting anti-government slogans joined a funeral march to lay to rest an assassinated Tunisian opposition politician on Saturday, a display of the anger threatening the survival of a government once seen as a model in the region for the transition to democracy.

Adding to the tension, a bomb exploded in the early morning underneath a car at the port in Tunis outside a police station.

Although there were no injuries, the rare attack helped deepen the sense of unease in this North African country, where two opposition politicians have been shot dead in the last six months, apparently with the same gun.

Some baby boomers provide dual caregiving role • GENERATION

Voice your opinion

Continued from page A1 conclusion that this is the way it is, unfortunately,” Evonne Bruce said. “We never expected 32 years ago to be in this boat.

“This is the time I feel our kids should be moved out and living lives of their own, and we should be sightseeing, going on vacation and doing things that empty-nesters in their 50s should be doing.”

Despite the frustration, Evonne and Kevin Bruce see it as their responsibility to care for their family, as do others from their generation.

The Bruces are part of the baby boomer generation, those born between 1946 and 1964.

As baby boomers start to cross the threshold into retirement age en masse – 10,000 boomers a day turn 65 – more of their attention is turning to family and the need to care for their aging parents while helping their adult children in a down economy.

“The baby boomer generation often fills in the family,” said Lucia Jones, executive director for the Northeastern Illinois Area Agency on Aging.

“They are often saddled with responsibilities to their parents, as well as their younger children.”

Jones’ agency helps coordinate federal funds and general resources to local senior service agencies in the Chicago

The agency works with local groups like Family Alliance in Woodstock and Senior Services Associates in McHenry and Crystal Lake, which have seen the county’s 60 and older population nearly double since 2000 to 49,340 people.

Many in that demographic are baby boomers, who have found themselves filling the caregiving role for their aging parents, who are living longer than previous generations, Jones said.

Being a family As an only child, Evonne Bruce moved her mom from Indiana closer to an independent senior living facility in Harvard. Since then, she travels to doctor appointments, picks up prescriptions and shops for groceries for Delorise, who is in overall good health but operates without a car.

When Delorise recovered from a broken ankle last year, Evonne and Kevin Bruce paid for a secondary health insurance plan to help her cover the hefty medical expenses, while transporting her to facilities in McHenry and Lake counties.

As a primary caregiver, Evonne Bruce spends a couple of hours a day with her mom.

“I feel that it is something that needs to be done. Just because you’re old doesn’t mean that you should be tossed to the side,” Evonne Bruce said.

“People are still human beings and still need somebody to take care of them and somebody to love them. That’s what being a part of a family is. You’re there to help them regardless.”

At home, the couple still provide a roof, food, health and car insurance for their two sons. The oldest, Aaron, will likely stay at home for another two to three years, as he pursues a radiology degree from Rock Valley College in Rockford.

He also works seasonal hours as a certified welder at an area manufacturer, but still doesn’t make enough to live on his own, Kevin Bruce said.

Their younger son, Evan, graduated from Harvard High School this spring and has been looking for full-time work in a slow economy since his junior year.

“I think our kids have a pretty good work ethic,” Kevin Bruce said. “They have no problem working hard and earning an income. It’s just that things aren’t as available as you would hope. ... It’s tough for them.”

The dual caregiving role also has put increasing strain on Evonne and Kevin Bruce.

Evonne Bruce hasn’t landed

a job since being laid off four years ago and Kevin Bruce was laid off earlier this year at a cellphone company.

The lack of employment forced the couple to start charging Aaron rent at a modest rate of $125 a month. Evan will have to chip in, once he starts earning a full-time income. The effort, the couple said, is meant to help the family weather financial difficulty and teach their sons about the realities of paying for housing.

The total lifetime financial impact – in terms of lost wages, Social Security benefits and private pensions – for the average baby boomer to care for their parents alone is $303,880, a 2011 study from MetLife on the caregiving costs for working baby boomers found.

That is the cost for leaving the labor force early or reducing hours worked because of caregiving responsibilities.

A 2012 survey from the National Endowment for Financial Education found that 59 percent of parents are providing financial support to adult children who no longer are in school. The support includes assistance with living expenses, transportation costs, medical bills and paying back home loans, the survey found.

“It’s just hard,” Evonne Bruce said of being a dual caregiver. “We do the best we can and get through each and every day that we can. It has its good days, and its bad days.”

Quinn: Legislation biggest step in expanding electorate since 1993 • REGISTRATION Continued from page A1 even open my garage door online. There’s no good reason I should have to wait in line at a government office that’s only open during work hours to register to vote,” the bill’s Senate sponsor, Don Harmon, said in arguing for its passage.

The Oak Park Democrat hopes the system will be popular with young people more inclined to use their laptops and smart phones to get things done.

The law gives election authorities until July 1 of next year to have the system up in running, meaning people will be able to use it in time to vote in the next general election in November 2014.

Applicants will have to use a driver’s license and the last four digits of their Social Security number to register.

Quinn endorsed the idea in his state of the state address this year.

“Democracy works best when as many voters as pos-

sible raise their voices at the ballot box,” the governor said Saturday.

Quinn said it was also important to keep the state’s electoral system in step with 21st century technology.

His office said in a statement that the 17 states already allowing online registration have seen higher numbers of people signing up to vote, especially young people.

Cook County Clerk David Orr said he was confident it would be secure.

He called it the biggest step in expanding the electorate since the 1993 federal law allowing people to register to vote at state driver’s license facilities.

Harmon said it will save the state money. Processing a paper registration costs 83 cents, compared with 3 cents for an online application, he said.

Earlier this month, Quinn signed legislation allowing 17-year-olds who will turn 18 by the time of the general election to participate in that cycle’s primary election.

Must stop graduated income tax

After pension reform (we pray there is an “after”), the next tough decision facing Illinois lawmakers concerns the temporary income-tax increase that is supposed to end by 2015.

In 2011, a lame-duck General Assembly passed personal and corporate income-tax increases to help pay off a backlog For the record of unpaid bills.

The personal rate We support Rep. David went from 3 perMcSweeney’s efforts to quash cent to 5 percent. a progressive tax increase.

The corporate rate went from 4.8 percent to 7 percent. Funny, little progress has been made in paying off those overdue bills.

The decision that lawmakers in Springfield will face: • Allow the increase to expire as scheduled and cut state spending by about $7 billion; • Cast a politically risky vote to make the increase permanent; • Or reform Illinois’ tax structure to create a progressive tax instead of the current flat tax.

In a flat income-tax structure, everyone pays the same rate. In a progressive – or graduated – structure, higher earners pay a larger percentage of their income than lower earners.

Some Democrats in Springfield are – not surprisingly – pushing for a progressive tax. However, any change from a flat tax would require amending the Illinois Constitution.

It’s hard to believe Illinois’ business climate and financial well-being could get worse, but a progressive tax would be a disaster for Illinois.

As state Rep. David McSweeney said: “It would be the final nail in the coffin for Illinois.”

A progressive tax would further drive businesses out of the state. It would make attracting talented people to take jobs in Illinois more difficult. It’s another way for our state government to take more hard-earned money from Illinois workers and small-business owners.

North Carolina gets it.

Earlier this month, North Carolina lawmakers agreed to overhaul its tax structure by, in part, eliminating its progressive tax and adopting a flat tax. It reduces the state’s personal and corporate income-tax rates.

We support McSweeney’s effort to nip this progressive-tax talk in the bud. McSweeney, a Barrington Hills Republican, has introduced an anti-graduated income-tax resolution (HR 241) in the House.

Democrat Jack Franks, from Marengo, is a chief co-sponsor. Reps. Mike Tryon, R-Crystal Lake; Barb Wheeler, R-Crystal Lake; and Tim Schmitz, R-Batavia, are co-sponsors.

Lawmakers shouldn’t be looking at ways to get more money from Illinois taxpayers. They should be looking at ways to spend the revenue it does have coming in more wisely, and developing policy that makes the state more attractive to businesses, not less attractive.

Black culvert pipe erupted from the ground, creating a blockage that led to flooding of the neighborhood. Nunda’s only response was to pump water around the blockage, remove the exposed culvert, and trench a ditch.

It is now the middle of July and the project sits idle. Nunda has yet to explain to residents the failure of the project or when the eyesore will be completed.

Is Nunda liable for this failure, or was this an act of God? God didn’t work on the project as far as I know. Oh, and my property tax went up again $430 this year.

Thanks for everything.

Where is Nunda?

To the Editor: This June, Nunda Township embarked on a project to improve drainage ditches on Highline Road.

Ditches were deepened and plastic culvert pipe and catch basins were installed, then covered with earth.

Rahm Emanuel can manufacture any solutions. I have come to the conclusion that no one, and I mean no one, can govern Chicago and Illinois and succeed.

We have had both Republican and Democratic administrations; it makes no difference. When we have the Madigans and Cullertons who are ruling with iron hands, nothing gets done. Both of them had a separate plan for pension reform, but the Legislature could not pick one to vote on. In the meantime, the debt grows each day. And those fat cats arrogantly

And Mayor Emanuel wants to close 50 schools to help ease the terrible debt Chicago is in, but he gets taunted with hated comments in the media and the Board of Education.

Americans have no faith in government; is that a good thing?

Now for some good news, and it has nothing to do with the birth of the royal baby.

According to a USA Today/Bipartisan Policy Center poll, “Americans by more than 2-1 say the best way to make positive changes in society is through volunteer organizations and charities, not by being active in government.” Even better news: People under 30 are especially put off by politics and are “significantly less likely than their parents to say participating in politics is an important value in their lives.”

Why is this good news? There are at least two reasons. One is that the less faith people have in government, the more they are likely to have in themselves. The second is that a public loss of faith in politics and politicians increases the possibility of government becom-

ing smaller. That could mean less spending, a smaller deficit and, ultimately, one hopes, lower taxes.

On the same day the USA Today poll was published, a McClatchyMarist poll found President Barack Obama “is suffering his lowest approval numbers in nearly two years.” His June approval rating was 41 percent, down from 50 percent in April.

Obama’s speeches aren’t cutting it. The public wants the action it was promised. It’s not getting any and so is increasingly disillusioned with politics and politicians. Republicans don’t escape blame. The McClatchy-Marist poll found only 22 percent of those surveyed approve of congressional Republicans.

Again, this is good news for the country and even for Republicans if they get the message. USA Today

Views Cal Thomas quotes Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill.: “There’s a skepticism of government. Young people say, if I want to feed the hungry or make a difference for cancer patients, it’s easier to do that through a nonprofit and see the tangible results up close than, say, trying to push for federal funding to do the same.” At 32, Schock is the second-youngest member of Congress and may reflect the attitude of many of his generation.

What’s the message? It is that the states, especially those with Republican governors, are mostly doing a far better job in addressing people’s needs and wants than Washington.

As Peter Roff notes in U.S. News, “... while the ‘blue states’ are running up debt and flirting with bankruptcy, the ‘red states’ continue to take the lead in cutting taxes, streamlining government and job creation, according to a report issued Monday by the State Government Leadership Foundation ...”

Charitable organizations are addressing problems the federal government only talks about. World Magazine, a biweekly Christian publication, has given its annual “Hope Award for Effective Compassion” (note the word “Effective”) to My Safe Harbor, an organization in Anaheim, Calif., that “helps single mothers break the dysfunctional cycle of broken homes.” The program promotes faith, personal responsibility and accountability for one’s actions. Its goal is not to addict

people to a government check, but to free them from dependency so they can have the dignity that goes with earning their own check. It is an anti-poverty program that works.

If Republicans want to regain trust, they should be focusing less on the failures of Democrats and more on the successes of Republican governors, Republican legislatures, charitable organizations such as My Safe Harbor and volunteers. They are achieving goals that Washington can’t.

The USA Today poll found that young people put “elected official or working for one” at the very bottom of their career choices. Given the performance of Washington’s political class, who can blame them?

LEARN ABOUT QUILTS IN CL CRYSTAL LAKE – The 2013 Summer Sunday Series at Colonel Palmer House continues from 1 to 4 p.m. Aug. 11 with “Weaving a Tale: Coverlets, Quilts and the Art of Storytelling.”

This free program will be on the grounds of the historic Colonel Palmer house, 660 E. Terra Cotta Ave. (Route 176), in Crystal Lake.

Summer Sunday visitors will discover the history of jacquard coverlets woven in Illinois from the 1840s to the 1860s.

Loom-woven jacquard coverlets began to appear in Illinois in the 1840s as skilled weavers from the East moved west to acquire property. In many of the eastern states, coverlet weaving had become competitive, so Illinois offered an opportunity for the weavers to establish a new frontier of clients.

During the event, families can enjoy storytelling, weaving demonstrations, a quilt exhibit and a children’s craft. During the Summer Sunday Series, the Colonel Palmer House will be open to visitors.

D-158 details project costs Full wish list for Huntley High expansion rings up at $35M “I don’t think anyone had a real understanding of what the features were going to cost, and now we are starting to get an idea of that.”

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – The Huntley High School expansion – complete with District 158’s full wish list of items that includes a new fieldhouse, a bigger library and additional classrooms – will cost roughly $35 million.

Don Drzal, District 158 board president school’s football, baseball and soccer fields nearly complete.

Officials were already warned earlier this year that the expansion could cost between $30 million to $36 million, which well exceeded the district’s original estimate of $12 million to $18 mil-

lion.

“I don’t think anyone had a real understanding of what the features were going to cost, and now we are starting to get an idea of that,” said Board President Don Drzal.

But even with a budget target that

ecoleman@shawmedia.com FOX LAKE – Staring out her kitchen window, Betty Phelan can still see her son walking up the path.

“He had a very distinctive walk,” she remembered. “He was always leaning forward.”

Curtiss Phelan was 22 when he was killed by a drunk driver Feb. 3, 2007, at Fox Lake Road and Broadway Street in Pistakee Highlands.

“The shock of it never really goes away,” his half-sister Diane Maddock said. “It never goes away. I can remember

it like it was yesterday. Every detail.”

In the spring, Maddock started working with the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office to get a memorial sign put up near the site of the crash. She hoped to surprise her stepmother, Betty Phelan, for Mother’s Day, but the weather didn’t cooperate.

This is the first memorial sign the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office and McHenry Township have been involved with. The $200 cost was covered by Iron Justice, a motorcycle group of law enforcement members, and the

Police Benevolent and Protective Association, said Deputy Theresa Harper, who walked the family through the process.

If the sign prevents even one accident, Betty Phelan thinks it’ll be worth it.

Maddock also hopes the sign will keep her brother’s memory alive.

Curtiss Phelan lived with Maddock and her children for more than two years after moving back to the area from Arizona to be closer to his family.

CRYSTAL LAKE – The McHenry County College Board has a $697,000 question to answer.

After approving a 9.9 percent increase in the tax levy last year, trustees are considering holding taxes at the 2012 level and sacrificing a potential $697,069 in revenue that could be realized by a 4.9 percent levy increase recommended

by Bob Tenuta, the college’s chief financial officer.

Large levy requests do not guarantee the full amount is collected but do insure the college would receive all new construction revenue.

Budget projections under both scenarios showed the college would generate $24.3 million in the education fund with a 4.9 percent levy request compared to $23.6 million with no increase. The first scenario would create a fund balance of $14 million in the education account while the second option would leave a $13.4 million balance.

Tenuta advised that if trustees froze the levy and passed on the potential revenue from new construction, the college would not be able to recoup that revenue in the future. Any future levy increase would not build off the base that new construction could have provided.

Trustee Chris Jenner said not only are the new growth projections unrealistic, but he believes the college has over-taxed residents in the past, noting the roughly $30 million collected and stored in the past 6 years.

Jenner said saving and transferring some of that money as the

LAKEMOOR: BUSINESS

Board takes final step in Walgreens project

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com LAKEMOOR – The Lakemoor Village Board took the final step Thursday evening on a project that officials hope is the start of more development.

The board unanimously formalized its agreements with developers who are building a Walgreens at the southeast corner of Darrell Road and Route 120, ending an “expedited and streamlined” process that began when developers approached the village in December.

It took two months from the point developers approached

the village to getting the goahead for the project, Village Administrator David Alarcon said.

The project still had to get past the Lake County Division of Transportation and the Illinois Department of Transportation because the site falls at the intersection of state and county roads.

The village is looking to improve the development process more, Alarcon said.

It’s one of the things on the to-do list for the newly created position of development director, said Matt Dabrowski, the former trustee who took the lead on developing the village’s new comprehensive

plan and was hired to the position last month.

He starts in two weeks.

Village officials hope the project shows that Lakemoor, despite its population of just over 6,000 people, is a good place to develop because of the high volume of traffic that flows through it, Alarcon said.

They also hope the development with its 8-foot-wide bike and pedestrian trail will be the start of an extended system that connects the village’s neighborhoods and parks and perhaps even the state parks nearby.

The village has applied for three different grants to extend the trail system.

Chris Jenner, MCC trustee Tenuta also provided financial forecasts assuming trustees maintained a policy of freezing the levy. In that scenario, the total operating fund balance would fall to roughly $2 million by fiscal year 2017 – well below the $15.9 million the college would need to equal the sug-

gested level of three months of operational expenses.

“Overall, the financial forecast trend shows a negative outlook and an erosion of the financial health of the college,” he reported. “The projected net fund balance is significantly below healthy financial margins.”

STANLEY CLARK Born: Oct. 5, 1925; in Pinewood, Tenn.

Died: July 17, 2013 HUNTLEY – Stanley Clark, of Huntley and formerly of Buffalo Grove, passed away Wednesday, July 17, 2013, surrounded by his family.

He was born Oct. 5, 1925, in Pinewood, Tenn.

A celebration of his life will be at 4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 4, at Kingswood United Methodist Church in Buffalo Grove.

Stanley grew up in Pinewood and joined the Navy at age 18. He fought in the Pacific Theater during World War II from 1943 until 1946. He relocated to St. Louis, Mo., and began his career with Coca-Cola. He was transferred to the Chicago area and continued working for the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Chicago for 47 years.

Grant should cover expansion • COSTS Continued from page B1 The late-arriving grant still should cover the entire expansion, Superintendent John Burkey said.

“I’m really satisfied that we are going to be able to completely expand and update our high school without having to increase property tax dollars,” Burkey said. “This grant has been very good for the district.”

Since January, the board has been planning for a Huntley High School expansion that officials have said is needed to accommodate the 3,000 students expected by 2019.

Members have been using

a wish list of needs organized by a committee of school teachers and administrators to chart the expansion of the high school, which was originally built in the mid-1990s as a combination middle and high school.

Of that $35 million wish list, board members can expect to spend roughly $15 million for a new fieldhouse and other interior athletic improvements; $9.6 million to improve and add classroom space; $2 million to renovate the cafeteria and common areas; $2 million to expand parking; and another $1.5 million to add a bigger library, according to Wold’s estimates.

The district has already spent $3.6 million to renovate the school’s exterior athletic

fields.

The renovation should be complete by the time students return in late August.

The district’s focus would then shift to designing the interior, with construction starting next summer and happening in stages throughout the next couple of school years, Burkey said.

Although the $35 million budget target won’t change, Drzal said, the cost for improvements to the interior may vary depending on the design and bidding process in the coming months.

“We are going to make sure we satisfy the needs of the students of the high school,” Drzal said. “In order to do that, it has to be done in several steps.”

More people suffer from allergies and respiratory problems, caused by factors that we can’t control. However, we definitely can control the quality of air within your house. The added benefit for controlling your I.A.Q. is the reduction of household dust. The following items are some of the most popular ones that will improve your I.A.Q.: • Duct Cleaning: Your duct work delivers the air to all the rooms in the house.

It only makes sense that they be cleaned periodically. If any ducts run through an unconditioned space, then duct sealing should also be considered.

• HEPA Filter: The average home has a 1” filter, which has no benefits for your I.A.Q. This type of filter is standard in new construction. A HEPA filter is usually 4” thick and has its own cabinet. The main advantage with this filter is the ability to remove micron levels of particulates from the air. Especially helpful to allergy sufferers.

• Electronic Filter: Similar to the HEPA filter except that it uses electricity to accomplish it’s job. Also, it has the ability to remove odors from your home.

• UV: Ultra-violet has been used for years by municipalities to kill bacteria in drinking water. UV is the only product designed to kill bacteria, mold, mildew, etc. It is used in conjunction with the HEPA or electronic air cleaner to give the best I.A.Q. possible.

With the implementation of any of the above, you will have a home that minimizes dusting and can also improve certain health conditions.

If there are any comfort issues or problems in your home, please contact me directly and I will personally answer all your inquiries.

BEARS IN BOURBONNAIS

Let the real drama begin HubArkush.com is online Check it out, bookmark it and make it your homepage for Bears coverage going forward. Shaw Media’s Bears coverage has reached a new level and we hope you enjoy it. We’ll be on top of every minute of training camp and the upcoming season on your new 24/7 home for Bears football, led by one of the most trusted names in both Bears and pro football coverage.

Ready for the hitting, blocking and fighting BOURBONNAIS – The light popped on about 3 a.m. Saturday – not literally, but figuratively in my head.

Something tight end Martellus Bennett said Friday had been gnawing at me, and I finally realized what it was. The quote was, “This has been a lot of fun, like going to a new school.”

I can’t speak for Martellus, but honestly guys, who likes going to a new school. The fear of the unknown, the certainty that everyone there would be better than us and all the other selfdoubts and multitude of ways we could fail. It’s horrible.

MCYSA SUMMER INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

Because all we’ve had so far is orientation, opening ceremonies and a welcoming party with gift baskets holding brand new playbooks and shiny new uniforms for all.

CARY-GROVE ALUMNUS RICK CARONE BATTLES CANCER

Thunder thrilled to earn split

By PATRICK MASON pmason@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The Lake in the Hills Thunder baseball team knows it will be looked at as the underdogs throughout this year’s McHenry County Youth Sports Association Summer International Championships, and that’s just fine.

The team largely consists of 14-yearolds playing in the 15-and-under division, so the team finds itself a little younger than opposing teams, which adds to the difficulty of playing in the tough tournament.

The amount of talent in this year’s MCYSA event is enormous, and the Thunder found that out quickly in their first game of pool play. They lost to Mickeys Sleds and More – a team from Midland, Mich. – 12-4. But the Thunder bounced back in the second game against the Bartlett Silver Hawks.

“Our main goal is to get into the Gold Bracket,” Thunder coach Mark Lonigro said. “You can’t start 0-2 and expect to win three in a row. So this was big.”

To reach the Gold Bracket, teams need to secure three wins during the five-game pool play, so the pressure was on the younger Thunder team to get a victory against the taller and bigger Silver Hawks before Lake In The Hills face two international teams in Lithuania and Puerto Rico on Sunday.

Former Cary-Grove football and baseball star Rick Carone, 42, was diagnosed in May with Stage IV pancreatic cancer. Carone is undergoing a six-month chemotherapy treatment after finding out that it is inoperable. He goes in every other week for treatment, “It’s like a roller coaster,” said Carone, about the feelings of going through each round of chemotherapy. “There’s a fork in the road, you can either (be like) woe-is-me or stay positive and build strength throughout it, and pray to God that he heals me, but if that’s not his plan, then I hope to be an inspiration to others.”

COURAGEOUS FIGHT

INSPRING OTHERS Former Cary-Grove football, baseball star battles disease that took his mother armed with a positive attitude, faith

Lake in the Hills Thunder outfielder Jack Schneider celebrates after catching the game-ending fly ball during an MCYSA pool play game against the Bartlett Silver Hawks on Saturday in Crystal Lake. The Thunder won, 6-5.

ick Carone sits at a small table in a coffee shop occasionally taking sips of lukewarm black tea from a paper cup, carrying on a conversation he’s had countless times before.

Because he’s Italian, he warns he can cry at the drop of a dime. But never once, not even in the course of describing the pancreatic cancer that has poisoned his body since May, do tears ever enter the equation. There are emotional breaks in his voice, but never tears.

Carone keeps talking, maintaining uninterrupted eye contact while, out of a box that he calls his little Nintendo, 2.3 milliliters of drugs are pumped every hour through tubes into the power port that’s lodged in the upper part of his chest.

It’s a Tuesday. The day before, Carone – who starred in baseball and football at Cary-Grove in the late 1980s and who later

spent four years as a White Sox minor league catcher – was restricted to a hospital bed in Arlington Heights.

The first day of each chemotherapy session is the worst. Over five hours, Carone’s body ingests six bags of poison designed to shrink the cancerous mass doctors discovered on Carone’s pancreas just before Memorial Day. Carone takes as much of the injections as he can, will stop so he can pee and then start up again.

He loses the ability to speak, although his brain tricks his body into thinking he can talk. He leaves exhausted, unsure of when he again will be able to uphold his end of a conversation.

But on this day, Carone talks about his fight with a disease that claimed the life of his mother 14 years ago, when she was only 50 and when he was only 28. Now, at 42, Carone’s the one that’s living with cancer, determined to beat it.

Team Carone For information on Rick Carone’s support system, visitfacebook.com/TeamCarone A benefit will be held for Carone on Oct. 12 at Wag’s Farm in Prairie Grove. The event will include a pig roast, silent and live auctions and live entertainment.

Carone also has established The Team Carone Five-Tool Scholarship that will be awarded to one male and one female Cary-Grove student-athlete beginning in 2014.

The scholarship, which will be given in the honor of Carone’s late mother and father, will be awarded to students who exemplify upstanding character, who are respected in the classroom, are active in a church or faith community and have a love for the outdoors.

Nominated students will submit an essay before a small committee selects the winner.

ers could be traded like baseball players. “Hey, Jim, you’re a great accountant and everything, but we need to add a couple of young number crunchers. We’ve traded you to Wichita. Your plane leaves tonight.”

Styf: Sometimes, I feel like I’ve lived that life, with four jobs in the past five years. But I’m glad I put that no-trade clause into my contract here.

Like the Cubs, we’re building a strong base for the future with young power hitters such as you Tom. So far, the Cubs seem to be making the right moves. They own their place in the hierarchy now and know the more potential they buy, the better chance they have that some of that talent pans out later.

Musick: Didn’t you hear? The bosses are trying to trade me to the Daily Planet for a couple of vending machines. But I digress. I always thought Soriano was treated too harshly here – don’t blame the guy for signing a $136 million deal, blame the guy who offered it – but the Cubs are smart to free up at-bats for young guns such as Junior Lake (no relation to Crystal Lake or Wonder Lake).

Styf: Well, this thing is far from over. Jake Peavy and Kevin Gregg should be packing bags, too. Alex Rios, maybe. Who else?

Musick: If I’m the Sox, I get whatever I can for Peavy, Alexei Ramirez, Jesse Crain and anybody else who appeals to a contender. Their farm system is atrocious. Baseball America ranked it No. 29 out of 30 teams this spring, with only the Angels faring worse. If I’m the Cubs, I try to spin off Gregg and Nate Schierholtz for another arm or two. Does that sound fair?

Styf: You’re always fair, Tom. The Cubs should trade Wellington Castillo, too, his name’s way too formal for baseball. He should be playing croquet or cricket and talking about having tea. The Cubs need any kind of pitching talent they can find, so sell whatever major league value they have for that.

Musick: I know how much you love Edwin Jackson, so I assume he is one of the few untouchables on the North Side. So let’s fast forward a few years. The Cubs’ lineup includes Anthony Rizzo, Starlin Castro, Kris Bryant, Javier Baez, Albert Almora, Mike Olt, Jorge Soler and others. The rotation includes Jackson (by that time a multiple Cy Young winner), Jeff Samardzija, and maybe a few arms acquired in the summer of 2013. Sounds like a contender to me.

Styf: Not taking the bait, not at all. Reality is that no other team would want Jackson’s contract. This isn’t the NFL, where you can just cut the underachievers. The Cubs would have to take a significant financial hit over a long period to rid themselves of “10-second Tom,” the pitcher who retains nothing. So it won’t happen. The geniuses have to live with their big mistake and try to build a rotation around (or above?) him.

Musick: Jackson is a stud. You don’t go 76-82 with a 4.45 ERA in your career without elite talent. And look at some of the guys who might join him if they sign with the Cubs as part of the free-agent class of 2015: Clayton Kershaw, Max Scherzer, Homer Bailey, Peavy. Those pennies the Cubs save from Soriano’s deal could go toward a spending spree in a couple of years.

Styf: The sarcasm has gotten out of control.

It’s ending. Now. Musick: I had like five more World Series wisecracks. Next time, next time.

Former Marian Central quarterback Chris Streveler begins his first fall camp at Minnesota this week after spending last semester adjusting to college life in Minneapolis and going through spring practices with the Gophers. He’s listed as the third-string quarterback on Minnesota’s depth chart, but has told his coaches he’s willing to do whatever they need him to do.

Obviously, everyone is a better athlete than they were in high school. But just getting out in spring ball, just the speed of the game and the way I have to make my reads was definitely different, but it wasn’t anything that I didn’t expect. I expected there to be a bit of a jump in that, but I worked hard and I put a lot of work in during the offseason at getting bigger, faster and strong so I can be closer to the level of the other guys.

It’s going to be different from Marian when every time you’re on the field, you’re going to be one of the best athletes out there. It’s different going from that to trying to play catch-up to the guys who have been here for a full season. So that’s always going to be a big transition. But in terms of starting over with teammates, it’s tough because I have great friends at Marian and the experiences I had there, I wouldn’t trade those for anything. But getting up here was something I was looking forward to – just meeting new guys and starting fresh.

During spring ball, I struggled a little bit coming in just having so much thrown at me at once and with just trying to get out there and perform. It’s hard to get out there and perform when you’re thinking so much and trying to think what all the different people are doing.

But now, looking back at it, it was huge for me to get out there and get some experience under my belt, especially going into (fall) camp. So I’m really looking forward to camp and just being able to get back out there and not having to think as much. I can just play a little bit more.

But being with my teammates has been awesome, because when my (recruiting) class got up here, I was kind of used to everything because I had been up here for a semester and they were able to put me in a leadership role with the (incoming freshmen) just because I had some experience and I could show them the ropes.

In spring ball, there weren’t really a lot of expectations for me just because you’re getting thrown into so much new stuff and just trying to go out there and do the best that I can. But I’m excited to get ready for my first season because I’ve never gone through it and it’s definitely going to be a fun experience whether I end up redshirting or not. But I’m just looking forward to being able to get out there in camp and play football again because that’s the whole reason I’m up here. But I’m open to anything. There’s pros and cons to redshirting.

I told the coaches I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get on the field. I did some work at receiver and got the chance to get out in camp and run around a little bit.

Right now, I’m mainly sticking with quarterback, but I’m open to change. I’m just going to go out there and do my best and whatever happens, happens.

Parker scored a record 23 points to lead the West to a 102-98 victory over the East on Saturday.

The Los Angeles Sparks star was voted a starter for the 2011 game, but couldn’t play because of a knee injury. She also missed the 2009 game because she still was recovering from the birth of her daughter.

“Things happen,” Parker said.

“I learned not to question them and go on my path and take whatever comes. It happened to work out this way.”

The wait was worth it as Parker, who earned the game’s

While the award was special, Parker and her West teammates were more excited that got the victory for retiring star Tina Thompson.

Lochte puts TV career on hold to resume swimming

OAKVILLE, Ontario – Hunter Mahan gave up the lead in the Canadian Open when his wife went into labor, and Brandt Snedeker grabbed the top spot a few hours later Saturday.

Mahan was at 13-under-par after two rounds when he got a call saying wife Kandi had gone into labor with their first child.

BARCELONA, Spain – Ryan Lochte has put his TV career on hold. It’s time to go swimming again.

The American star will lead another powerhouse men’s team into the swimming portion of the world championships, which begins Sunday at the Palau Sant Jordi. He hopes to compete in seven events and doesn’t have to worry about being overshadowed by longtime rival Michael Phelps, who retired after the London

Olympics.

Lochte never considered quitting, but he did try some new things, including his own reality show, “What Would Ryan Lochte Do?” “After the Olympics, I wanted to take a break from the swimming pool,” Lochte said. “I wanted to do things that other Olympians just dreamed about.

I had a lot of fun, doing a bunch of TV appearances. I had my own reality TV show. Everything I did was different.

“But,” he added, “the biggest goal was always the 2016 Olympics. I knew I had to get back in the water eventually.”

Langer takes 3-shot lead at Senior British Open SOUTHPORT, England – Bernhard Langer seized a

three-shot lead after the third round of the Senior British Open on Saturday, mastering Royal Birkdale with superb links play for a 4-under 66.

Langer shared the overnight lead with American Mark Wiebe but birdied three of his first seven holes to jump in front on his own. David Frost of South Africa shot his third straight 68 to sit alone in second place, while Wiebe only managed a 70 to drop into third, four shots back.

Langer’s only bogey came on the 14th, but he finished with two birdies on 15 and 17 to stay in control.

“That was as good as I can play,” said the German veteran, who is bidding for his second Senior British Open title having won at Carnoustie

in 2010. “My ball-striking was almost perfect and I played really well, apart from the mistake at the 14th.”

John Isner advances to Atlanta final ATLANTA – Top-seeded John Isner and second-seeded Kevin Anderson set up what Atlanta Open officials will be the “tallest” final in ATP Tour history.

Isner is 5-3 as a pro against Anderson, and they played several times before that.

Up next for Thunder: Lithuania, Puerto Rico Down to their last strike in the top half of the seventh inning and trailing by one, Matt Schneider roped a hard single to center field on the seventh pitch of his at-bat to score two runners and take their first lead of the game. The Thunder held on for a 6-5 victory and moved to 1-1 in the tournament.

“It was huge for us,” Schneider said. “Coming in we had a goal to make it to the Gold Bracket, and for us to go out and get a win like that was good for us. We know we’re going to be the younger team out there each time we play, so it was big.”

Pitcher Joe Rizzo, who recorded the final out of the game with the tying and winning runs on base along with adding an insurance RBI in the seventh, echoed his teammate’s statement.

“Teams look at us and we look smaller than them, so we try to use that to our advantage,” Rizzo said. “We know we have some really tough games coming up, but I feel like we play with nothing to lose.

WHITE SOX NOTES

Players focus on remaining games

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO

Next for the Sox

mmontemurro@shawmedia.com

White Sox starter Chris Sale pitches during the first inning of Saturday’s game against the Kansas City Royals at U.S. Cellular Field. The Sox lost, 1-0.

ROYALS 1, WHITE SOX 0

Failure to score sufficient runs nothing new for Sale CHICAGO – The White Sox’s failure to score sufficient runs when he is on the mound is nothing new for Chris Sale.

Any annoyance at the number of losses, which have piled up in recent weeks and have tarnished his individual record, has been carefully hidden as Sale endures the toughest stretch of his young career. The Kansas City Royals were the latest team to victimize the Sox during a Sale start. Despite Sale tossing a complete game, his third this season, and holding the Royals to one run, the Sox lost to Kansas City, 1-0, on Saturday at U.S. Cellular Field.

Sale dropped to 1-8 with a 2.84 ERA in his past 10 starts while the Sox scored 16 total runs during that stretch. His eight losses since June 2 are the most in the majors ahead of teammate John Danks, who has seven.

“It’s not easy to try and explain it to him, but he’s learned a tough lesson and part of baseball,” manager Robin Ventura said. “He pitched great tonight, there’s no question about it.

You can’t be perfect but he’s pretty dang close.”

This season, second as a starter, certainly has been a learning experience for Sale. If Sale needs any words of encouragement, he should reach out to former teammate and current Blue Jays pitcher Mark Buehrle. With his complete-game effort against the

INSIDE THE SOX Meghan Montemurro Royals, Sale became the Sox’s first pitcher to lose four games after throwing at least eight innings and allowing three earned runs or less since Buehrle also lost four games in 2002 (STATS).

Sale (6-10) has managed to keep an upbeat attitude amid a season in which not much has gone his way.

“A win’s a win, a loss is a loss – it doesn’t matter how you get there, who gets it or how you do it,” Sale said. “Just keep grinding, stay on top, keep your head up and things will turn around.”

However, this year hasn’t been a complete bust for the 24-year-old left-hander. Sale has had an opportunity to become more of a leader, which can’t be overlooked with pitcher Jake Peavy potentially being moved before Wednesday’s trade deadline and veteran Paul Konerko possibly leaving when his contract expires at the end of the season. His impact, on the field and in the clubhouse, hasn’t been lost on the Sox. “In the short amount of time he’s been starting, he probably has the best stuff, maybe, of anybody we’ve ever had – and certainly left-handed stuff – I can’t think of anybody offhand

that’s been as dominant,” Konerko said.

Now Sale must take that next step. This tough stretch represents a chance for Sale to show he can lead by example even when he isn’t getting the results he wants. Ventura said Sale “gets angry in all the right ways” on the days he pitches and expects that will only make him better on the mound going forward. Monday’s blowup aside stemming from when Ventura forced him to intentionally walk Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera, Sale is becoming the Sox’s next leader in the clubhouse.

That torch must be passed on at some point and Sale finally is getting to learn what it means to lead during a difficult time on the field for both the Sox and himself.

“That’s what this mainly is about, being professional, being a good teammate and playing hard every day,” Sale said. “I can honestly say there were 24 guys in here and a coaching staff that wanted those runs more than I did. I truly believe that.”

CHICAGO – For anyone hoping the White Sox suddenly will turnaround their season, the players are trying to forget the past and focus on the remaining games.

Sox captain Paul Konerko acknowledged the season hasn’t gone as expected, and now they have two months left to move on and play better.

“It is difficult but that’s why it’s not easy being a big league ballplayer,” Konerko said.

“That’s why there’s millions of guys who don’t make it. So, no, it’s not easy. It’s a grind. But you just keep doing it.

This is what we do and this is what we’ve chosen to do, so it doesn’t matter if it’s hard, easy or whatever.”

It hasn’t been a good year offensively for Konerko either. Konerko, who is in the last year of his contract, entered Saturday’s game against the Royals hitting .248 with seven home runs and 33 RBIs. “You’ve just got to grind through as best you can and just keep playing the game,” Konerko said.

“That’s what it gets reduced down to and that’s where we’re at. We just have to find the joy in that and go out there and do it every day.”

Beckham showing promise: A l t h o u g h s e c o n d baseman Gordon Beckham conceded that the strained ligament in his left wrist will be sore the next couple weeks, wrist problems haven’t completely derailed his season.

Despite any frustrations at being limited to playing in only 48 of the Sox’s 100 games, Beckham’s adjustments

vs Kansas City, 1:10 p.m. Sunday, CSN, AM-670

he made at the plate near the end of last season have carried over with solid results. He’s batting .320 – the best of his five-year career – with two home runs and 13 RBIs. “You get a better idea of what he’s going to be looking in the future, what he can do,” Ventura said. “That’s all positive stuff. The wrist stuff has been flukish stuff, really. When he goes to the plate I expect him to get a hit, that’s where he’s at right now, or at least hit it hard.”

Southpaws litter rotation: Starting four lefthanders certainly is unusual, but the Sox have no plans to change their starting rotation.

Most major league rotations feature one or two lefties, and the Royals are the only exception in the American League. Kansas City’s normal rotation doesn’t have any lefthanders, a stark contrast to the Sox’s four lefties, led by Chris Sale, who started Saturday against the Royals.

“If you’re facing all righties, it’s probably not [ideal], but if you start running down the teams that have a lot lefties, it’s probably pretty good,” Ventura said of the Sox’s lefty-filled rotation. “At this point, we are what we are. We’re wanting the best guys that we have, it doesn’t matter really which way they throw. These are the guys that deserve to be here.”

Schierholtz’s HR in 9th lifts Cubs over Giants

By MICHAEL WAGAMAN The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO – Nate Schierholtz homered off former teammate Sergio Romo with one out in the ninth inning to lift the Cubs to a 1-0 win over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday night.

Dropped to sixth in the Cubs’ order after batting cleanup a night earlier in the club’s first game after trading Alfonso Soriano, Schierholtz worked a full count off Romo (3-6) before hitting a towering blast into the right-field stands to hand Romo his second blown save in as many games.

Next for the Cubs at San Francisco, 3:05 p.m.

Sunday , WGN, AM-720

Starlin Castro added two hits for the Cubs, who are 18-

13 in their past 31 games.

Madison Bumgarner pitched eight shutout innings for San Francisco but left without a decision. The World Series champs have lost six of seven and are a season-high 11 games under .500.

Pedro Strop (1-0) pitched one inning for the win de-

spite making two mental mistakes that helped the Giants load the bases with no outs in the eighth. Strop twice made late throws on sacrifice bunt attempts but got out of it when Buster Posey and Pablo Sandoval grounded into forceouts at home and Hunter Pence struck out.

Column: Take away the incentives to end doping

By TIM DAHLBERG The Associated Press The woman wearing the Ryan Fraud jersey was only telling the truth when the Milwaukee Brewers threatened to toss her out of the ballpark the other day for exercising her freedom of expression.

Imagine what they would have done if there was enough room to add more words to the back of the jersey. Liar and cheat are two that certainly fit well for the exiled left fielder, who went from beloved superstar to baseball pariah in less time than it takes to mail off a decent urine sample.

Fans weren’t alone in expressing their disgust about Braun, if only because his earlier self-righteous claims that he was clean were so fresh in their ears. For the first time, players turned on one of their own, calling Braun out in a way they never did for players busted for steroids in the past.

It’s taken years, but the clubhouse code of silence has been cracked, if only a little.

Players who are clean seem to finally be realizing that both their careers and their

fat wallets are threatened by cheaters who post numbers and do things that they have no hope of matching.

Players like Skip Schumaker, the utility player for the Los Angeles Dodgers who has hit only 24 home runs in his nine-year big league career. Schumaker believed Braun’s denials, bought into his story about the bumbling messenger who couldn’t get to the FedEx office on time. He even had a signed Braun jersey in his trophy room.

Now he, like many other players, has had enough.

“In my opinion, he should be suspended, lifetime ban. One strike you’re out,” Schumaker said. “It’s enough. It’s ridiculous.”

One strike and you’re out. Kind of has a nice ring to it, even in a sport where three strikes are what really matter.

Unfortunately, it has no chance of happening. While players are beginning to talk tough, the odds of that translating into any movement toward lifetime bans on the part of the players’ union are about as good as the Cubs winning the World Series.

Players had to be dragged kicking and screaming into testing to begin with, and they’re not going to agree to increased penalties without a fight.

It’s the owners, though, who share just as much blame for the mess baseball finds itself in. They’ve looked the other way for more than two decades now, content to allow the use of performance-enhancing drugs in the game as long as the big home run hitters were helping them sell tickets and build new stadiums.

And they keep giving millions to guys who have been caught cheating.

The Oakland A’s didn’t seem to mind that Bartolo Colon tested positive last year for testosterone and had to miss the team’s playoff run.

Instead of punishing him for that, they gave him a $1 million raise and a new contract to be their ace this year.

Melky Cabrera also came out richer after testing positive for the same thing.

The Toronto Blue Jays gave him a two-year contract for $16 million, more than he was making in San Francisco when he was caught.

BLACKHAWKS FAN CONVENTION

Page C6 • Sunday, July 28, 2013

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Fans get another chance to celebrate The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – While general manager Stan Bowman and coach Joel Quenneville already are looking ahead to next season, Blackhawks fans got another chance to celebrate the team’s Stanley Cup title.

During the second day of the annual Blackhawks Fans Convention on Saturday, one of the most popular sessions was a recap of last season’s record-breaking start that had close to 1,000 fans and featured Quenneville, forward Bryan Bickell and Conn Smythe winner Patrick Kane.

The Hawks set an NHL record for best start to a season without a loss in regulation, going 21-0-3 before their first loss in the 25th game of the 48game lockout-shortened regular season.

“I don’t think anyone envisioned we’d have a streak like that starting the season,” Kane said. “People started talked about us and it kind of got the team jacked up and fired up to actually do something special and create history.”

Added Bickell: “It was an epic start and we were just happy to be part of it.”

The Hawks started with 10 of their first 12 games on the road.

“We knew it was important to start off hot,” Kane said. “As the streak went on, we just tried to embrace every game. We wanted to enjoy it and keep winning. That’s what we said before every game, to try to keep this thing going and extend it more and more games. ... Throughout those 24 games, it was a [heck] of a ride.”

The tone for the championship season was set in the season opener at Los Angeles, when the Kings lifted the banner for winning the Stanley Cup in the previous season.

“It certainly was a great way to begin any season,” Quenneville said of spoiling the Kings’ ceremonies with a 5-2 win. “Getting off on that first road trip on a real positive note put us in a great way.

“When you look back over the beginning of the season, every guy was playing well. As a coach, you couldn’t ask for a better set of circumstances.

Blackhawks forward Bryan Bickell is greeted by fans during the sixth annual fan convention Friday in Chicago. Bickell is getting married next week in Europe.

Everything seemed to work.”

“After that first loss at Colorado, The Hawks lost their first game in I told the guys it was amazing and regulation in Game 25, falling 6-2 at remarkable what we did in the first Colorado. half of the season, we should be proud

of what we accomplished and move forward,” Quenneville said.

On a personal note, Bickell was asked about his pending marriage next week.

“Planning a wedding in Europe (he played overseas during the NHL lockout and couldn’t help his fiancee with wedding plans) was tough, we didn’t have phones, we only used emails,” he said. “Even during the playoff crunch, she’d be like, ‘Hey, can you help me?’ I said, ‘No, I’ve got to concentrate.’

“Right after hockey was over, she was right there waiting for me to say, ‘OK, let’s go into wedding mode.’ I’ve got a week left so I’m going to fight through it.”

During another session, Bowman said keeping Kane and team captain Jonathan Toews is “priority No. 1.

If you look back, those are the two guys that put us back on the map.

They’re incredible players ... are still young and, believe it or not, really haven’t hit the prime of their career yet. We’re going to make sure they’re Blackhawks for a long, long time.”

NASCAR celebrates 20th Cup race at Indianapolis

By DAN GELSTON The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS – Traditionalists balked and some were downright outraged at the mere suggestion stock cars dare set their fenders on the sacred ground of Indianapolis.

Stage a NASCAR race at the home of the Indianapolis 500?

May as well make Indy 500 winners swig orange juice in Victory Lane or have the track install lights for a night race. Heck, make it the Indianapolis 350. None of it could have been worse than big, bad NASCAR storming into their city – an open wheel city.

“I think Indy cars belong at Indy and stock cars belong at Daytona,” 1986 Indy winner Bobby Rahal said more than 20 years ago.

“I think it’s a big mistake because Indy has all that tradition and romance and I don’t believe it should be tampered with,” said Johnny Rutherford, also a former Indianapolis 500 champion.

Romance? What is this, a love story?

Well, sort of.

It’s time to pucker up and kiss the bricks once again when NASCAR runs its 20th Cup race Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon are as much a slice of Indy racing history as A.J. Foyt and Rick Mears.

There’s a generation of drivers coming up who dreamed of racing at Indianapolis for 400 miles, not 500.

The Brickyard may not be the marquee race to win on NASCAR’s schedule. Rahal was on to something, the Daytona 500 is still No. 1.

But Indy is a close runner

up.

“You have the Daytona 500 and then the Brickyard 400,” Gordon, a four-time Indy winner, said. “Some people may rank it different than that, but that’s how I look at it. There was a time, maybe

back in 1994, where I would have ranked this No. 1.”

Then the next big thing in NASCAR, a 23-year-old Gordon won the inaugural race in 1994. An estimated crowd of 250,000 fans absolutely jammed the place and Gordon recalled the die-hards lined up 10 deep around the garage just to get a peek at the drivers that soon would usher NASCAR into a boom period.

NASCAR hadn’t just raced at Indy – it took it over.

Dale Earnhardt won in 1995 and then Dale Jarrett started a celebration with his 1996 win that lasts to this day, and even carried over to Indy. Jarrett and crew chief Todd Parrott knelt down and planted a big ol’ kiss on the bricks, the start-finish line for the race.

Who needs milk?

Tony Stewart, a former open wheel champion, never got to fulfill his boyhood dream of winning an Indianapolis 500. But the Indiana native has twice won the Brickyard, putting an emphatic end to his skepticism that a winning a NASCAR race in Indy would never mean as much had it happened in open wheel.

BEARS IN BOURBONNAIS

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Sunday, July 28, 2013 • Page C9

It’s not so tough to see Jennings’ value BOURBONNAIS – Hey, Tim Jennings.

Imagine someone were to describe you as, oh, I don’t know, a nuisance on the field.

A pest in the Bears’ secondary.

You’d take those descriptions as a compliment, yeah?

“I don’t know,” Jennings said Saturday as he walked off of the practice field at Olivet Nazarene University. “You kind of take it both ways. It depends who says it.”

Note to self: Change the subject before Jennings puts a helmet in your ribs.

Not really, of course.

Jennings is one of the Bears’ most down-to-Earth players, perhaps because he stands so close to Earth with a 5-foot-8, 185-pound frame.

And Jennings’ physical play is important as the Bears prepare for their first practice in full pads Sunday. The Marc Trestman super-turbo-fast of-

Pads go on Sunday

puts Jennings in a headlock.

Two can play this game.

Jennings embraces the 1-on-1 battles against teammates new and old.

“It’s a lot of fun,” said fense is great and everything, Jennings, who played four but Jennings offers constant seasons with the Indianapolis reminders about the need for Colts before joining the Bears. tenacity, too.

Defense challenges offense to protect ball

By KEVIN FISHBAIN BOURBONNAIS – Bears coach Marc Trestman has a good dilemma during training camp. While trying to get his offense to improve ball security, the defense’s propensity to go after the ball is making things difficult.

During the second day of practice Saturday, safety Anthony Walters stripped running back Armando Allen, and cornerback Sherrick McManis scooped up the fumble. As every offensive play finishes, defensive coordinator Mel Tucker hollers at the players to continue going after the ball, another carryover from when Lovie Smith was in charge.

The turnovers have somewhat clouded the fact that the offense overall has looked smooth and efficient during the first two days or camp, and Trestman said the next step is protecting the football.

“As I told the team, we’ve got to take care of the football offensively. It’s never going to

“If we can take care of the football there, we’re going to feel good about taking care of it each and every play.”

On the other hand, though, Trestman is pleased that the defense is picking up where it left off in the department it’s most known for, and that’s

taking the ball away.

“I’ve been in the meetings, I know the emphasis there is on it. I know the pride the defense has had here for so many years,” Trestman said.

“By doing it in practice, you have guys doing it who have been around it, that’s a teaching lesson to the new guys that this is certainly something that is so important.”

Tight end is a key position in Marc Trestman’s offense. I doubt Martellus Bennett will be elite, but I am intrigued by what he offers. A big concern, however, is there are five other tight ends in camp – Fendi Onobun, Gabe Miller, Kyle Adams, Steve Maneri and BroMartellus dy Eldridge – and Bennett I’m not sure any of them can play.

BEARS NOTES

• ARKUSH But training camp is not supposed to be fun.

After 35 years on the NFL beat, I’ve lost count of the hundreds of NFL training camps I’ve passed through.

But I can tell you there is a definite pace to all of them, one that has shifted dramatically in recent years.

In the old days, we’d show up at Camp Ditka on a Wednesday afternoon and we wouldn’t dare be late for the first of the next day’s two fully padded practices, as the first drill always promised to be a nutcracker with each player forced to line up head to head with a future teammate and see who could knock the the other’s teeth out or head off?

Alas, these are kinder, gentler times. Two practices in the same day? That’s taboo. And as coach Marc Trestman told us on Day One of camp, there will be no tackling, no one on the ground, no full-speed contact anywhere and limited contact at the line of scrimmage.

How do we find out if they can play football?

In fairness to Trestman, this gentrification of training camp is not on him. Much of it is dictated by the most recent collective bargaining agreement the players negotiated in 2011, and more is a result of the rapidly escalating concern over head injuries and debilitating, post-career threatening injuries in general. A worthy endeavor indeed.

Even with all these changes though, there still is that pace I mentioned, and at some point walkthrough’s have to more closely resemble football.

About 45 minutes into practice No. 2 on Saturday, something happened in a 7-on-7 passing drill. It was an accident, but receiver, defender and ball all arrived in the same space at the same time and there was a collision. An audible gasp spread across the practice field and throughout the crowd. I didn’t even bother to note the players involved, and It wasn’t really a football play but it felt and sounded like one, and I swear the tone and timbre of that practice was different from that point on.

At 9 a.m. Sunday, the Bears will show up in pads for the first time and, like it or not, the welcoming party will be over. Even with all the safeguards in place, the competition for jobs will be on in earnest, and educated opinions will begin to be formed.

Starting Sunday, football becomes a game of blocking and tackling (or at least threatening to) again, and we actually will have some real evidence on which to base our beliefs of who are the best and baddest Bears of all.

I’ve got Wednesday in the pool for the first fight. That’s when we’ll know we all are really having fun.

plan to negotiate any contract extensions during the season.

In terms of his contract, Jennings said, he is playing with blinders on.

“You’ve got to, man,” Jennings said. “You can’t have a lot on your mind when you’re out here. It’s football. You’re on this football field. This is what you’re here for. This is what you enjoy to do.

“That’s what I had to realize.

Early, when I was younger, I used to have a lot on my mind about the contract situation. But it gets to the point where you know you can’t control that.”

OK, I’d like to revise my description.

Jennings isn’t a nuisance.

He’s a necessity.

Big Ten vs. SEC? Answers depend on question

By JAY COHEN The Associated Press

AP photo

The United States’ Landon Donovan (10) is congratulated by teammates after scoring a goal against Honduras on Wednesday during the first half of the Gold Cup semifinals at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

CONCACAF GOLD CUP FINAL

Donovan gives U.S. spark

By NANCY ARMOUR The Associated Press CHICAGO – Burned out and exhausted from more than a decade as the standard bearer for U.S. soccer, Landon Donovan needed a break.

For four months last winter, soccer was the last concern for the Americans’ career scoring leader. He spent time with family and friends, making up for all those holidays and get-togethers he missed over the years. He traveled to far-flung places, reveling in his respite from the harsh glare of the spotlight.

And somewhere along the way, he rediscovered his love for the game he’d been so desperate to escape.

The rejuvenated Donovan is a big reason the Americans are in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final Sunday, where they’ll face Panama. He has five goals in five games, tied for a tournament high, and seven assists. Those 12 goals are one more than Panama’s entire team has scored; the Americans lead the tournament with a total of 19 goals.

“I’ve enjoyed myself tremendously,” Donovan said Saturday. “I’ve enjoyed helping with the younger guys.

I’ve enjoyed being a part of a team that really doesn’t have ego, that’s really excited about this opportunity. It’s been really fun to be a part of, and I’ve enjoyed it a lot.”

Donovan wasn’t enjoying much after helping the Los Angeles Galaxy win their second straight MLS title Dec. 1.

Saddled with the title of “best player the U.S. has ever produced” since he scored twice at the 2002 World Cup, helping fuel the Americans’

stunning run to the quarterfinals and earning him best young player of the tournament honors, nothing Donovan did was ever good enough. Though the entire U.S. team was dismissed at the 2006 World Cup, he took the brunt of the criticism. He was the hero four years later after his spectacular goal against Algeria in stoppage time lifted the Americans into the knockout round, only to hear more grumbling when the Americans lost to Ghana.

His early failures in Germany only fueled the negativity, and his success with the Galaxy was overshadowed by the arrival of David Beckham.

By the time the Galaxy hoisted the trophy, he was, understandably, drained – mentally and physically, and wasn’t sure if he wanted to keep playing. Never mind that he only turned 31 on March 4, and the World Cup was less than two years away.

While the Galaxy told him to take the time he needed, U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann wasn’t quite so understanding. He left Donovan off the roster for a series of World Cup qualifiers, saying Donovan needed to work his way back onto the team. When he finally felt Donovan was ready to play, Klinsmann said he expected Donovan to be even better than the player he’d been before his sabbatical.

“It was his choice to take a little bit of time off. It was his choice to get a little bit of distance,” Klinsmann said Saturday. “He knew his way back to this group only goes through hard work. It goes through good performances.

It goes through showing on and off the field.”

CHICAGO – Nebraska has won at least nine games in each of the past five seasons.

Only Alabama, Boise State and Oregon can say the same.

The Cornhuskers have won four AP national championships. Their honor roll includes three Heisman Trophy winners. They play in front of packed houses every week, often on national TV. So coach Bo Pelini isn’t too fond of those questions about the Big Ten versus the Southeastern Conference.

“I guarantee there are a lot of teams in the SEC that aren’t Alabama that wish they were Nebraska, that wish they were Michigan, wish they were Ohio State,” Pelini said Thursday at Big Ten media days, “so

don’t talk to me about the SEC. Talk to me about, let’s compare specific programs.

“The whole SEC isn’t Alabama, isn’t LSU and isn’t Georgia. Every year is different.”

Like it or not, right now the comparison point for the major college football conferences is the powerful SEC, and the business is quite good in the home of Nick Saban, Les Miles and Mark Richt.

The Crimson Tide trounced Notre Dame, 42-14, in the BCS championship in January, earning the SEC’s seventh consecutive national title. Newcomer Texas A&M (Cotton), South Carolina (Outback), Georgia (Capital One) and Mississippi (BBVA Compass) helped the SEC to a 6-3 bowl record, the highest win total for any conference.

The SEC won two of its

The improving Wildcats, once one of the Big Ten’s worst programs, beat the Bulldogs, 34-20, for their first bowl victory since 1949 and one of two for the conference’s seven bowl teams.

Looking back a bit further, the strength of the SEC compared to the Big Ten is a more slight advantage. The SEC is 21-16 against the Big Ten since 2003, according to STATS. “There’s definitely some programs that stand out in the SEC. There’s definitely some

programs that stand out in the Big Ten,” said Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter, who threw for 76 yards and rushed for 74 in the bowl win.

“It’s hard to compare conference to conference, but we have a lot of tradition. We’ve done a lot of good things academically and athletically, so that’s something to be proud of.”

It’s crystal clear which conference is the NFL’s favorite.

The SEC produced an astounding 63 selections in the April draft, more than double the next highest total of 31 for the ACC. The Big Ten had 22 selections.

God, cure me of this cancer. But if it’s not in Your will, keep me comforted that I would be a spiritual leader and an inspiration to other people. Amen.

• • • On the Tuesday after Memorial Day, Carone returned to the hospital after the most unsettling weekend of his life. He hadn’t felt well for weeks, but he figured it was a side affect of the 24-day cleanse he was putting his body through to shed a few extra pounds of winter weight.

But then the intense itching began. The unstoppable itching that covered every square inch of his body. He experienced severe diarrhea – a symptom he associated with the organic cleansing fluids designed to restore his athletic frame. He put himself on a steady regimen of Advil and Imodium, figuring the discomfort eventually would subside.

But then, on his way back to Cary from Dallas, where he celebrated his daughter’s Sweet 16 birthday, the symptoms got worse. On the flight home, Carone experienced severe stomach pains, which felt like knives constantly protruding into his skin.

On his drive home from the airport, his speech became slurred and the steady traffic buzzing around him on I-90 became a blur. Carone pulled over to the side of Roselle Road, called his brother, Tim, and told him to meet him at a nearby hospital. For five days, Carone underwent CT scans, MRIs and ultrasounds. Doctors discovered that his gall bladder was clogged with sludge and that his bile duct had collapsed.

Doctors noticed a mass on Carone’s pancreas, but couldn’t decipher what it was. They told him to return the next Tuesday.

When he reported, four doctors were waiting for him. Pancreatic cancer. Stage IV. “I was scared,” Carone said. “I’m not going to lie to you.”

Carone’s mother died two weeks after she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. So when doctors infomed Carone of his diagnosis and that the cancer already likely had spread between his pancreas and liver, it floored him.

Twenty-eight years later, Sutherland remains on the job and still counts Carone as one of his close friends. Egan, who reconnected with Carone when the two both lived in Dallas, now helps organize events to benefit Carone’s cause along with other former C-G classmates. Egan is amazed – as is Sutherland – by the positive approach Carone maintains.

And yet, neither is surprised.

“That’s the way Rick is,” Sutherland said. “He’s got a passion for everything and a passion for defeating this. My gosh, when your mom had it and you saw what it did to her, you’d be scared to death. But not Rick.”

“It’s definitely not a good thing.

Hopefully he keeps battling through what he’s got.”

As his treatment continues, Carone has moved in with Tim and his family in the house in Cary where the two brothers grew up.

Carone has his old room back and enjoys a renovated basement that includes his flat screen TV, stuffed mementos of his hunting careers and signed baseball jerseys from friends and former teammates who now are part of Team Carone.

For Tim Carone, having to take care of his older brother was something he never expected to have to do. But he also realized it wasn’t good for Rick to be by himself.

Tim sees the struggles his brother endures physically, especially right after chemotherapy, when things as simple as drinking hot or cold water becomes an issue because of the way his body reacts.

But Tim has yet to see the day cancer gets the best of his brother.

“Never,” Tim Carone said. “Could he be holding it in? Sure. But he’s always so positive, surrounding himself with positive people.”

Each day, Carone views the page of a Facebook group set up to keep supporters aware of Carone’s fight.

He looks at the pictures, the ones with his girls, his hunting and baseball buddies. He finds messages from friends, family and even strangers – like the girls softball team in Homer Glen that set up a Run For Rick to help raise funds for Carone’s treatments. Carone tears up, drawing inspiration from the wealth of support he has around him.

Yet, despite all he’s been through, it often is Carone who does the majority of the inspiring.

“The first thing that ends up going to my mind is all the negatives and I start going through all the scenarios he’s about to face and knowing the difficulties he’s up against,” said Carone’s Ole Miss roommate, David Dellucci, who spent 13 years as a Major League outfielder and pinch hitter. “Then you start thinking, ‘Well, what can I say to encourage him.’ But then, he’s the guy that encourages you.”

Appraisers optimistic about future More than three-fourths of U.S. real estate appraisers are very or somewhat positive about the demand for their services over the next one to two years, according to an Appraisal Institute survey released recently.

Eighty percent of residential appraisers and 78 percent of commercial appraisers said they are upbeat about their future, according to the survey conducted in May-June.

“Appraisers have faced a challenging real estate market in recent years, and it’s great to see that so many valuation professionals are feeling optimistic about the future,” said Appraisal Institute President Richard L. Borges II. According to the survey, 95 percent of residential appraisers and 49 percent of commercial appraisers said there is currently more demand for their services than a year ago.

“For us, demand has been stable with the number of appraisals,” said Kathy Schaid of Schaid Appraisals in Crystal Lake. “We’re more diverse so we do a little bit of everything.”

Other appraisers in the area have reported an increase in appraisals with the uptick in mortgages, she said.

John Weyland, owner of Crystal Lake Appraisal Services, said his business is slightly busier than it was a year ago.

“Even the way the economy has been the past five years, we haven’t seen a huge downturn, just a different type of appraisal,” Weyland said.

Appraisals may be done for insurance, estate closings, divorce and relocation services.

Weyland said homeowners also request appraisals as part of their property tax appeal process.

“There are so many different types of appraisals,” Weyland said.

“Not everything is tied to home sales – thank goodness.”

Additional survey results include: • Eighty-four percent of residential appraisers said their local residential real estate market is strong, and 46 percent of commercial appraisers had the same opinion about their local commercial markets.

• Eighty-six percent of residential appraisers and 55 percent of commercial appraisers said demand for their services is strong.

• Thirty-two percent of residential appraisers and 45 percent of commercial appraisers anticipate more demand for their services during the ensuing one to two years.

According to the Illinois Association of Realtors, year-over-year McHenry County home sales were up 44 percent in June. Statewide, home sales increased nearly 15 percent over previous-year levels.

“Real estate trends are typically local in nature, and it’s a positive sign for the nation’s economy that appraisers around the country reported increased demand for their services,” Borges said.

Metra café on track Stella’s off the Square to open in train station

By BRETT ROWLAND browland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A new café plans to open in Woodstock’s Metra station in August.

The station has been inaccessible to commuters since March, when the Trax Depot Coffee Shop closed. It should reopen next month when a Lake in the Hills company, Illini International Resources LLC, opens Stella’s off the Square.

The Woodstock City Council approved a threeyear lease deal with the company on July 16. The lease, which sets rent at $500 a month, includes three, three-year renewal options, potentially allowing the contract to continue to July 2025.

“Our main concern was getting the building open for commuters and residents,” said Cort Carlson, Woodstock’s community and economic development director. “We had been actively seeking tenants.”

City officials shopped the vacant space around to nine area coffee shops and bakeries and gave tours to six prospective tenants. Illini International Resources, which most recently ran Java Planet on Route 14 in Woodstock, was the only one to submit a formal proposal to lease it, according to a city memo.

Danielle Delatorre, of Illini International Resources, said it was difficult to close Java Planet, but the chance to create a new café from the ground up at the train depot was too good to pass up.

About 450 commuters use the Woodstock Metra station daily, according to the city.

Delatorre wants to make Stella’s off the Square more than a “grab coffee and go” place. The café

It will include a full espresso bar and bulk coffee will be available for purchase.

Stella’s plans to sell scones from Goldie’s Scones in Lakemoor and offer baked goods from Konrad’s Bakery in Lake in the Hills, she said.

Delatorre is working with local artists from the Starline Gallery in Harvard to possibly display artwork and host art events at Stella’s on a monthly basis.

“We’re going to be the first thing people see when they arrive in Woodstock,” she said. “I’m really excited about this opportunity.”

Delatorre plans to begin work cleaning up the café space next week before installing equipment and decorating. She hopes to open for business in early to mid-August.

Individual retirement accounts have unique parameters The federal tax code offers several types of tax-favored individual retirement accounts such as traditional, Roth, SIMPLE and SEP. Each type of IRA has unique parameters, some of which are described below.

• Traditional (or regular) IRA – Contributions to a traditional IRA can be funded with either pre-tax (deductible) or after-tax (nondeductible) dollars, depending on eligibility and election of the taxpayer. For 2013, the annual IRA contribution per person is limited to the lesser of earned income, or $5,500 ($6,500 if you are age 50 or older during the year). With limited exceptions, funds that are withdrawn prior to age 59½ are assessed a 10 percent premature distribution excise tax. There also is a requirement to make minimum withdrawals after age 70½.

Deductible contributions are allowed annually if you (and your spouse) are not an active participant in an employer-sponsored retirement plan, or if you (and your

spouse) are an active participant in an employer plan, and your modified adjusted gross income (AGI) falls below published levels. Qualifying contributions are deducted from your current year income thus saving you tax in the initial year of contribution and are placed into a separate IRA account. All funds, including growth, will be taxed when distributions are made.

Nondeductible contributions are allowed regardless of whether a person (or spouse) is covered by another plan and regardless of AGI. The contributions are not deducted on the income tax return which means they are after tax dollars and will not be taxed later when distributed.

However, the growth accumulates tax free until distribution when it will be taxed at ordinary rates.

At the time of withdrawal, if both deductible and nondeductible contributions have been made, then the withdrawals are taxed only on the deductible portion and on the

ACCOUNTING Michael Flood growth. Additionally, a traditional IRA may be converted to a Roth IRA, regardless of the amount of your AGI. Taxes are paid in the year of conversion.

• Roth IRA – Contributions to a Roth IRA always will be after tax, whether they are original contributions or conversions from other retirement plans. There are no age restrictions for contributions; however, the funds must come from earned income. Furthermore, there are income restrictions for contributing directly to a Roth as well as limitations on the amount of the contribution.

One benefit is that there are no required minimum distributions as is the case with traditional IRA accounts. Another benefit is that

growth is tax free which results in no tax liability at the time of qualified withdrawals. Non-qualifying distributions will result in a 10 percent penalty in addition to the tax due on the growth.

• SIMPLE IRA – A SIMPLE IRA is an employer or self-employed plan which includes an elective deferral by the employee and a statutory match by the employer. An employer must either match contributions dollar for dollar on the first 3 percent (some exceptions apply) of deferral elected by the employee, or make a non-elective contribution of 2 percent to all eligible employees whether they make a deferral election or not. The maximum elective employee deferral for 2013 is $12,000 if under age 50, or $14,500 if age 50 or over).

• SEP IRA – SEP IRAs are written plans that are 100 percent funded by the employer. All contributions vest immediately, can vary from year to year, and are discretionary.

Wever appointed Defense Intelligence Senior Leader ST. LOUIS – Kathy Wever, a 1981 Woodstock High School graduate, was recently appointed Defense Intelligence Senior Leader, a high-level government position.

Wever, the daughter of Woodstock residents Lawrence and Mary Macheroux, currently serves as director of the Online GEOINT Services Customer Services Office, at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency in Washington, D.C., and St. Louis areas.

The NGA provides imagery, mapbased intelligence and geospatial information in support of the nation’s military forces, national policy makers and civil users.

Wever provides customer service for NGA’s customers such as national decision makers, the defense and intelligence community, and civil agencies.

She entered federal service in 1988 as a cartographer at the Defense Mapping Agency before moving into a

position testing and evaluating new production systems. After completing graduate studies at Southern Illinois University – Edwardsville, she returned to hold several leadership positions within the NGA. She is enrolled in the system engineering graduate certificate program and pursuing a master’s of science degree at George Washington University.

The senior service appointments are a position of classification in the federal government’s civil service – roughly akin to the ranks of general or admiral in the U.S. armed forces.

Members of the Senior Executive Service serve in positions just below top presidential appointees. They are the link between presidential appointees and the rest of the civil service work force.

Wever lives in Edwardsville with her husband, Mike. They have three children.

The percentage must be the same for all qualified employees. There is no catch-up contribution permitted. SEPs may be established, and deposits made, up to the due date of the return including extensions. For 2013, the employer contributions for employees are limited to 25 percent of compensation or $51,000. A SEP is advantageous to small business owners because of the high contribution limit.

In addition to the nuances described above, there are additional estate tax planning strategies that can be explored. As with all tax matters, you may wish to consult a CPA or competent tax preparer to ensure you are compliant with the law.

We have moved! The Richmond/Spring Grove chamber office has moved just down the sidewalk. We are now located at Suite 10908B in the Associated Bank building, 10910 N Main St., Richmond.

The move wasn’t far, but we have a fresh new look and renewed energy.

Stop in our new location.

It’s a good feeling when someone walks in to inquire about the amenities that Richmond and Spring Grove have to offer. I smile every time I mail a future business owner an envelope stuffed with information about the quaint shops, services, and businesses we have in our growing and pleasant communities. If it isn’t obvious, I take great pride in the role I play in this area and its commerce.

Which leads me to a conversation I had recently with a nearby business owner.

This gentleman made the comment, “The only reason there is a chamber is so you can get a paycheck.” I was appalled, to say the least. Not only did this gentleman not know me, but he had no idea how the chamber provides exposure and support to its members and gives back to the community. It didn’t take long before this comment rented space in my head to the point that I started to review all the good this chamber has and will continue to give to the Richmond and Spring Grove area.

One example is today’s

CHAMBER NEWS Laura Ferris annual Charity Auto Show.

Proceeds from the event will go to the chamber’s Scholarship Fund and other nonprofit, volunteer groups in our communities. Last year, the RSG chamber gave $945 to the Boy Scouts of America Troop 349. Since 2008, we have donated more than $4,200 from the auto show alone to local fire departments, high school football and baseball clubs, and Main Stay Therapeutic Riding Program. It is a huge undertaking to hold one event after another, to get the businesses involved and to advertise them to the public. I do this with great pride knowing that this chamber is providing affordable ways to give marketing opportunities to our members and to make the public aware that it takes an entire village (or two) to make a difference in this world.

I will stand proudly with my villages to make that difference one event at a time.

If you haven’t checked out your local chamber lately, perhaps it’s time to see what they have to offer your business in the means of marketing, networking and education to keep up with the ever-changing technology.

Giving from grandpa’s wealth Dear Dave,

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey

My grandfather died about a month ago, and I recently learned that in his will he distributed his money unevenly between his children and grandchildren. I received significantly more than other members of the family, but I make $140,000 a year. I’d like to give them some of my inheritance to even things out. How would you approach this?

Dear Crystal, In many ways, this would depend on your particular pension. Some pension funds are very well-run, very solvent and are in great shape.

Others are poorly managed and not the type of programs in which you’d want to invest any of your money.

The biggest problem with a pension is that it’s the property of the organization.

If it’s a union pension, it’s not yours – it’s theirs. All they do is pay you out of the fund.

So if they go broke, you lose everything you had in there.

If it’s a business that has the pension, that makes them the owner – not you.

That’s the beauty of the 401(k). You’re the actual owner. If the company you work for goes broke or the union does a poor job of managing things, it doesn’t harm your investment.

Don’t misunderstand what I’m saying. There are good pensions and bad pensions, just like there are great managers and lousy managers. Just make sure you check into the solvency of the program before you put your money in there!

– Kate

Dear Kate, You’re obviously unselfish and have a really good heart.

But honestly, it was your grandfather’s decision and his money to do with as he pleased. It wouldn’t be wrong or greedy to simply keep what you have without worrying about it a second longer.

If some of your relatives are having financial troubles and you feel that making a gift of a portion of your inheritance will help, you can do that. With your income, it’s probably not going to change your life in a big way.

My advice would be to look at your relatives and their situations objectively and see if something like this would really be a blessing. Then, if your heart and your head still tell you it’s a good thing, do it.

– Dave

– Dave

Dear Dave, Dear Dave,

Considering the condition of the economy, how secure should I feel about the solvency of my pension?

What do you think about predictions of a major deflation of U.S. currency?

– Crystal

– Steven

Dear Steven, I think woven into your question is another question: What do I think about the predictions of our economy completely collapsing? The truth is I don’t believe for one second that our economy is going to completely collapse.

Do we have some serious problems that should be addressed? Yes. Do we have politicians who are stupid and who don’t want to address these problems? Absolutely.

But does that mean the world is coming to an end? Of course not!

It does mean, however, that you and I need to demand that the people in Washington stop playing games and do their jobs. This ridiculous spending spree we’ve been on for years has to stop. Government spending on all levels – national, state and local – is ridiculously out of control.

I’ve heard end-of-the-world predictions most of my life.

But the truth is, we’re not going to see anything of that magnitude until Jesus comes back. No, I’m not going to predict or believe that the U.S. currency is going to collapse.

Don’t spend all of your time and energy worrying about conspiracy theories and doomsday scenarios. Spend it living life!

Is It the Recruiter, or Is It You?

By Larry Buhl, Monster Contributing Writer

They don’t call back.

Some job seekers love to hate recruiters. They’re the middlemen (and women) who never call, never explain anything, don’t present you in the best light and may even keep you from getting the job you want. As in any profession, there are some bad apples. But most recruiters are good at what they do, and they tell us that if job hunters fully understood what they can, can’t and shouldn’t do, the relationship would be much smoother.

When a recruiter seems unprofessional or annoying, how can you be sure the problem is with the recruiter -- and not with you? Here are five behaviors to consider.

They charge a fee.

It’s them.

Charging fees for interviews is a bad business practice.

Unfortunately it’s more common than you might think.

“You should never pay a recruiter, for any reason, to be in their candidate pool,” Lindsay Olson, a partner at Paradigm Staffing tells Monster.com. If a recruiter tries to justify the fee by updating your resume or offering other “services,” run away, Olson adds. “That’s what career consulting agencies do, not recruiters,” she says.

It’s probably neither you nor them.

Recruiters are busy. But that doesn’t mean you should leave the ball in their court either, accordingtoRobertaChinskyMatuson, president of Massachusettsbased Matuson Consulting and author of Suddenly in Charge.

“Beincontrol,butdon’tbeapest,” Matuson says. “It’s OK to tell them if you haven’t heard back from them by a certain day, you’ll call. But don’t be calling twice a day. It won’t get you anywhere.”

They don’t submit you for the jobs you want.

It’s probably you.

“The job of a recruiter is not to find jobs for people but to find people for jobs,” says Greg Bennett, a North Carolina-based executive recruiter for The Mergis Group (a division of Randstad).

“I’m not an employment agency,” Bennett adds. “If I didn’t submit you for the job you think you’re qualified for, it means that I submitted several people who were more qualified in some way, but I’m not going to send everyone who might be a decent fit. I’m going to submit those who would be the best fit.”

It’s not in the recruiter’s best

interest to make a bad match.

Recruiters know a lot more about what the client wants -- including the temperament and “fit” of the ideal employee -- than you possibly could.

They submit you for jobs you’re not qualified for.

It’s probably them.

This spaghetti-against-the-wall tactic is desperate and amateurish, says Olson. “It means the recruiter doesn’t understand your unique skills and qualifications, or they don’t care.” Even worse, Olson says, is when the recruiter submits a job seeker for a job withoutinforminghim. “Itmakes us and the candidate look bad when we learn the candidate’s already been submitted for a job and didn’t know it,” she says.

They demand too much personal information.

It might be them.

There are scams out there.

You can sometimes identify them by super-short job postings, in all caps, with no email addresses. The big red flag is an immediate response asking for more personal information. Chances are it’s just your information they’re after.

• Play the Numbers Game: The more agencies you register with, the more opportunities you’ll have and the less time you’ll spend worrying about why one recruiter didn’t call you back. You can usally get a good list of agencies from a local college or your local One-Stop Career Center.

• Be Flexible: If you’re overly specific and extremely picky regarding commute range, pay, schedule and job title, it’s less likely that a recruiter will call you back, especially if you’ve been out of work for an extended period.

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - Past experiences have taught you to always build upon a firm base, and that is exactly what you’re likely to try to do in the year ahead. If you choose your ground well, it will provide you with many possibilities of success.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Surprisingly, you might find someone with whom you’ve rarely seen eye-to-eye to be especially good company. This could produce a benchmark for a new relationship. Make the most of it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You’d be smart not to allow yourself to be overwhelmed by details. In fact, you’ll fare much

better if you make yourself look at the big picture instead of just a few brush strokes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don’t appear too eager if someone is trying to interest you in a business proposition. It would weaken your position if you look to be too easy. Let him or her offer the opening bid.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- In an arrangement where your mate opts for the lead, it’s OK to relegate yourself to a supporting role. It’s not important who directs the show, as long as it produces mutual benefits.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Do yourself a huge favor by pushing away from

your desk and getting some exercise. A stimulating activity, preferably outdoors, will be just what the doctor ordered.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Associating with some friends whose exuberance is infectious will make this a fun day. Make it a point to avoid dullards.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Although you’ll have a reservoir of strength to draw upon that will serve you well in successfully performing tedious endeavors, you’ll still need to pace yourself if you want to run the best race.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- When

dealing with others on a one-on-one basis, your manner will put them at ease. If your interlocutors sense your sincerity and concern, they’ll feel impelled to treat you similarly.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- As of today, you should have some stabilizing influences starting to manifest in areas that have been disruptive lately. Relax and let these calming trends bring you some peace.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t hesitate to disengage yourself from others if you need to attend to an important matter that requires your immediate attention. It’s OK to make it your top priority.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Because you are likely to require solitude to perform at your best, try to quietly slip away from others to a place that is totally free from outside interference.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Relaxed social activities with some old friends will prove to be the most pleasurable part of your day. You’re not apt to feel the same way when with newer, more casual acquaintances.

Boomers tell tales at new festival “Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived …”

I bet you have heard words like those before. I bet, also, they bring pleasant feelings to mind, even if the one who lived in that mythical land was a monster, witch or wicked step-parent.

There is something about a story that invites us to step away from our lives and enter a new realm where things are different. But, of course, stories do not have to begin with “once upon a time.”

They can begin with, “You’ll never believe what happened to me,” or “Where I used to live,” or any one of a million other openings. And, sometimes, the best stories are the ones that come straight out of our own lives. But no matter what the origin or topic is, a good story can transport us and entertain us.

In another life many years ago when I was a talent agent, my husband and young family attended the first Illinois Storytelling Festival in Spring Grove to hear one of my clients perform (or “tell” as the real storytellers say).

Surprisingly, it changed our lives. We were amazed and mesmerized by the storytellers’ presentations, and attendance became a yearly ritual for us, drawing us together for laughter, tears and inspiration. One of my daughters went on to tell a story of her own at a festival and then major in speech and drama before going to graduate school to become a speech therapist.

Paddy Lynn (back) will be a featured storyteller at the first Larsen Park Storytelling Festival 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Aug. 6.

On Aug. 6, there will be a new festival, the first Larsen Park Storytelling Festival, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The featured storytellers include Darlene Neumann, Paddy Lynn and Silvia KraftWalker. They are all librarians, but each brings her own unique style and content to audiences.

Neumann is a storyteller and library media expert who specializes in world folktales and stories about growing up on a southern Illinois farm. She paints compelling pictures through her stories, some funny and some bittersweet. She is a librarian at Science and Arts Academy in Des Plaines and an adjunct professor in storytelling at National-Louis University.

Lynn got the acting bug when she was 6 years old and has continued to share

her passion for theater with others ever since. She has worked as a professional actress, storyteller and drama teacher for more than 25 years. Besides encompassing storytelling and creative drama, she also has written several children’s books. Her programs include “Color My World,” story-acting for children from pre-school through third grade, and a series of historical programs called “Letters from the Oregon Trail,” which is an original creation focusing on the lives of pioneer women in the migration west. Paddy has appeared on Channel 11 and at Arlington Park race track, Brookfield Zoo and Lincoln Park Zoo. Kraft-Walker is a children’s librarian, a storyteller and the director of Plum Crazy Puppets, a traveling

Other storytellers who will be present include A. Denise Farrugia, Jennifer Kaap and Donna Mihovilovich.

In between the storytellers, musical interludes will be provided by members of À La Carte, a small group of performers from the ChoralAires Chorus.

“Storytelling as an artform is intimate and interactive,” Lynn said. “The storyteller draws you, the listener, in and you become a part of the story. Our hopes for this festival are that a new generation is turned on to this ages-old tradition. We want this to become an annual event where entire families come out for a day of stories and fun.”

This free fun family event is a great reason to pack a picnic lunch and bring the children or grandchildren to Larsen Park in Lake in the Hills (off of Creekview Lane).

This inaugural festival is sponsored by the Algonquin Area Public Library District, Lake in the Hills Parks and Recreation Department, and the Algonquin Events and Recreation Department.

I will see you there, and I guarantee we will all “live happily ever after.”

A new way to eat abundant zucchini

By JOE YONAN • The Washington Post Stuffed zucchini is a satisfying way to get my fill of a vegetable I love.

Stuffed Zucchini

ABOVE: Laurie Selpien of Lake in the Hills re-created a World War I-era garden for the Algonquin Lake in the Hills Interfaith Food Pantry. BELOW: Nearly 20,000 women responded to the government’s call to action during World War I. These female farm laborers, called “farmerettes,” tilled the soil, planted, picked and packaged produce.

4 servings 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the baking dish 3 large garlic cloves, chopped 1 medium onion, chopped 4 medium zucchini (6 to 8 ounces each) Sea salt 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled 1/2 cup homemade or canned no-salt-added white beans, rinsed and drained 2 small roma-size tomatoes or 1 large tomato, hulled and chopped 1/4 cup small pitted black olives, such as Nicoise, chopped 1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Use a little oil to lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish.

Pour the tablespoon of oil into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring frequently, until tender.

Transfer to a mixing bowl.

Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise. Use a sharp melon baller or spoon to scoop out the inside flesh, leaving a 1/2-inch border of skin and flesh all around. Reserve the scooped-out zucchini halves, sprinkling the insides lightly with salt.

Coarsely chop the flesh and add it to the mixing bowl, along with half of the feta plus the beans, tomatoes, olives, parsley and pepper. Stir to combine; this will be the filling.

Arrange the scooped-out zucchini halves cut side up in the casserole dish. Divide the filling among them, mounding it as needed. Top with the remaining feta. Bake until the zucchini halves are fork-tender and the feta has softened and lightly browned, about 30 minutes.

Serve hot or at room temperature.

Modern-day farmerette Laurie Selpien leads Victory Garden effort for food pantry

By KURT BEGALKA editorial@nwherald.com Part of our past is taking root in Lake in the Hills.

Laurie Selpien, a Carpentersville native, a 13-year resident of Lake in the Hills and a member of the McHenry County Historic Preservation Commission, launched the idea of re-creating a World War I-era garden at the Algonquin Lake in the Hills Interfaith Food Pantry last year. With assistance from Jacobs High School’s environmental club, the Green Eagles, it is soaring to new heights.

Four hundred families a year benefit from the vegetables grown in between and behind a village-owned horse stable and public works garage at 1113 Pyott Road in Lake in the Hills.

“Last year, we grew just under 4,000 pounds of food – 3,000 at the food pantry and 1,000 pounds of food at the water treatment plant in Algonquin,” Selpien said.

But there has been a learning curve.

“I started out with a Victory Garden theme. Then I found out that I had to teach people what food was first,” Selpien said. “If it didn’t have directions on the side of the box, they didn’t know how to cook it.”

Selpien, a self-taught organic gardener, incorporates a sustainable approach when directing volunteers and working with pantry clients. That meant relying on “companion planting” rather than insecticides to discourage pests and – in a donated greenhouse – a “double watering” system that allows plants to wick up only the moisture they need.

Because Selpien prefers not to work in mud, she opted for 15 raised beds framed with cedar planks to avoid too much runoff from the parking lot and from the buildings that abut it on either side.

“My first goal is to feed people,” Selpien said. “But

I also have a lot of heritage seeds, seeds that are disappearing that you can’t find anymore. We have green beans that originally came across [the ocean] on the Mayflower and a green bean they found on the Lewis and Clark expedition.”

Selpien said heirloom varieties, which she insists taste better and pack more nutritional value, are disappearing at a precipitous rate. The nearly 500 varieties of lettuce available in 1903 have been whittled down to 36.

“As far as disease resistance, we’re playing with fire,” she said. “During the last 20 years, the nutritional value of our food has dropped 40 percent.”

She produces a bevvy of statistics to back up the benefit of home-grown produce. On average, the produce you buy at a typical grocery store has traveled nearly 1,500 miles. No wonder Mother Earth News reported that of the 36 million gardening households, more than half reported growing their food because it tastes better and saves them money on groceries.

• GARDEN Continued from page 3 Tomatoes were far and away the most popular crop.

“People are able to taste food the way it is really supposed to taste,” Selpien said.

The 19-acre site that houses the pantry also includes an orchard and three times the garden space compared with last year. The selection includes pretty much every vegetable someone could imagine, plus a few they wouldn’t. The Trail of Tears bean from Seed Savers Exchange, for example, was carried by the Cherokee Indians during their infamous death march to Oklahoma in 1838.

During the first and second world wars, families were encouraged to do their patriotic duty and help themselves eat better by growing their own vegetable gardens. Illinois Superintendent of Schools Vernon Nekell urged his colleagues to establish Victory Gardens on school grounds and educate students to do likewise at home. The program extended into home economics classes, where girls learned how to can fruit and vegetables. In 1917, an estimated half a million quarts of canned fruits and vegetables were produced. The next year, that figure jumped to 1.45 million quarts.

During World War II, an estimated 20 million people followed the example of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, who

grew her own vegetable garden on the White House lawn. By 1943, these “war gardens” were producing 8 million tons of food – about 40 percent of all the vegetables Americans were eating.

Fred B. Morgan, Victory Garden chairman in McHenry County, worked to secure land for community gardens.

Hundreds of lots were made available by J.J. Wallace at no charge in country club additions on the south shore of Crystal Lake. The Chicago & North Western Railroad also donated several acres.

“Victory gardening is everywhere in evidence,” the Crystal Lake Herald reported in May 1943. “Many persons now have potatoes, peas, onions and other crops planted. On weekends and evenings it is common sight to see just about everyone working in their garden.”

The homegrown food effort also had the added effect of boosting morale, coincidentally something that is occurring today in Lake in the Hills, as well as in Harvard.

“We’re taking public land and turning it into food. That is exactly what I’m going for,” Selpien said.

“People are trying food that they would have never tried before. I had a woman who actually got excited about zucchini.”

McHenry County Historical Society events • From 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 4, the McHenry County Historical Society and members of the Wilson/Weyland Family of Marengo will host a free open house at two nearby historical sites. Both sites, the 1867 limestone Pringle one-room school house and the pre-Civil War “Stewart’s Scottish Cemetery,” are north of Marengo on River Road.

As an added attraction this year, First Presbyterian Church of Marengo, at 203 W. Washington St., will be open for tours led by church historian Fran Wright. Scottish settlers were Presbyterian.

Also, the historical society museum, 6422 Main St. in Union, will be selling a variety of garden plants at deep discounts during its regular visiting hours from 1 to 4 p.m. that day.

• The McHenry County Historical Society’s Perkins Hall Players present “Path to Lakemoor – The Dissolution of Lily Lake” at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 7, at the old Seneca Township Hall, now called Perkins Hall, at the corner of Franklinville and Garden Valley Roads southwest of Woodstock.

Severe weather in June prompted the rescheduling of this popular event.

The Society’s intent is for the public to “sit in” on a meeting between those working to dissolve the village of Lily Lake and those who wish preserve the village.

Period clothing encouraged for this free event. Light refreshments to follow. Keep in mind there are no restrooms and to avoid parking along busy Franklinville Road. For information, call 815-923-2267 or visit www. gothistory.org.

The Business Journal and the Northwest Herald are seeking nominations to recognize McHenry County professionals under the age of 40 who have made significant contributions to their profession, company and community. A Best Under 40 reception, dinner and awards presentation will be held in honor of our award recipients, to celebrate their achievements and community involvement.

Sun sets on man’s journey down river

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com Only about 600 miles to go for a Lakewood man determined to take the same voyage down the Mississippi River that Marquette and Joliet took more than 300 years ago.

Ray Christie is doing so in a solar-powered boat and has tracked his progress at www. calypsol.com.

After being tested in Crystal Ray Christie Lake and leaving Chicago in June of last year, the boat is now docked in Memphis, Tenn., where it likely will remain until late May or June of next year. That’s when Christie hopes to begin the final leg of the journey.

The goal is to reach New Orleans, just as Marquette and Joliet did in birch bark canoes during the 17th century, traveling down a route known in history as the “French Corridor.”

“It’s just been a beautiful adventure,” said Christie, who has returned to his Lakewood home.

“We should arrive in New Orleans by the end of June next year,” he said.

To create the boat and support the adventure, Christie co-founded the CalypSol Group with his friend, Larry Kozak of Algonquin. The Torqeedo motor support team in Crystal Lake served as their biggest sponsor.

The two named the boat they built, a high tech solar power 22-foot trimaran, the CalypSol. While Christie journeyed down the river with various friends and co-navigators this

past year, Kozak provided support back home as Christie checked in or encountered any troubles on the route.

Along the way, Christie and his co-navigators camped or stayed in hotels, docking the boat along the river.

His latest co-navigator, Jean Villard, had to return to his hometown of Switzerland this month. Others along the way have included John Lynn, Serge Kaslin and Max Johnson.

Christie hopes to firm up future co-navigators for the last leg of the journey.

“It’s going to be longer than expected,” he said. “The problem is not the boat. It’s just I don’t find people who can spend a few months with me on the river.”

Still, he said, having already covered about 750 miles, he’s bound to complete the adventure.

Along the way, he said, he encountered some scares in high, choppy waters. Stretches of the Mississippi were dotted with lumber and other elements left over from damage from flooding, tornadoes and other storms, he said. Some motor damage in Cairo delayed the trip, as well, he said.

“This year, it’s been meeting the people, all the wonderful people,” he said.

That includes many who helped him along the way, such as those in Cairo who helped him retrieve and fix the boat after the motor broke down.

“Those are real American people, people we don’t know enough in the media, the hardworking people, the farmers, the townspeople and how they dedicated themselves to helping us,” Christie said.

6 Enjoy the outdoors

without tick bites With the arrival of tick season in McHenry County, it is time to be on the lookout for ticks and protect yourself from the diseases they transmit.

Last year in McHenry County, 39 cases of Lyme disease and two cases of Rocky Mountain spotted fever were confirmed in McHenry County. There have been six confirmed cases of Lyme disease this year in the County.

Some of these cases were individuals who had spent time in Wisconsin but also some had tick contact locally in Crystal Lake and Lake in the Hills.

The deer tick can carry Lyme disease. If a tick bites you and you see a bulls-eyelike rash (red circle with a white center) up to 30 days later, this is a red flag for Lyme disease. About 80 percent of people see this rash after being infected, and if you do, contact your physician immediately.

Whether you see the rash or not, you also can experience fatigue, chills, fever, headache, muscle and joint aches, and swollen lymph nodes in the early stages.

If left untreated, you could experience pain and swelling in the large joints (ankles, knees, hips), shooting pains, heart palpitations, severe headaches, loss of muscle tone in the face and arthritis.

Prompt treatment is important to prevent these major symptoms.

Don’t fear going outside, but take steps to lower your risk of coming into contact with ticks. The most effective way to stop ticks while still enjoying the outdoors is by checking yourself as soon as possible after being outside.

It takes at least 24 hours for a tick to be attached to transmit disease. Checking yourself when coming in from the outdoors, as well as showering to wash small ticks from your skin, is the most effective method of prevention. Wear light-colored clothing, longsleeved shirts, long pants, boots or closed shoes and a hat while outside.

FROM THE HEALTH DEPT. Ted Paul Deer tick

Insect repellent containing DEET should be applied, primarily to clothes. Apply sparingly to exposed skin.

Treated skin should be washed after coming indoors.

Always supervise children in the use of repellents. Children as young as 3 months old can use products with less than 30 percent DEET. Walking in the center of trails so weeds do not brush against you, keeping your grass mowed and weeds cut are effective methods for minimizing the likelihood of a tick bite.

If you do have a tick on you, the best way to remove it is to grasp it with tweezers as close to the skin as possible and gently, but firmly, pull it straight out. Never try to burn, suffocate or cover a tick in grease as a means to get it to release itself from you. Always wash the site of attachment with soap and water.

McHenry County Department of Health Environmental Health Division can provide information on having ticks tested at 815-334-4585.

The McHenry County Health Department wishes you an eventful and safe summer, and if you have any questions on ticks or Lyme disease, call us at 815-334-4510.

Jeanne Phillips

Hunt begins for wedding gift ordered but not delivered Dear Abby: My daughter was married recently and has been sending out her thank-you notes. When she checked her registry to determine if all her gifts had been accounted for, she saw her stepbrother and his wife bought a gift, but it was not mailed by the department store.

We’re assuming it was brought to the wedding, but it’s nowhere to be found. How can we resolve this delicate situation? She wants to tell her sisterin-law, but she is concerned it might have been an oversight and be embarrassing.

She plans to contact the wedding venue, but it has been three weeks and you’d think if something had been left behind that they would have contacted her. We also are going to check with the friends who packed up the cars. Any other ideas? – Steve In Florida Dear Steve: Because your daughter knows a gift was bought by her

stepbrother and his wife, she should ask them how it was to be delivered because it might have been lost en route. Such things have been known to happen, which is why it is always wise to request a merchant provide proof of delivery. That way the recipient signs for the package, and everyone is assured it didn’t “fall off the truck.”

I doubt the stepbrother and his wife, having gone to the expense of buying something, would have forgotten to give it to your daughter. I also doubt the couple who packed up the gifts would have overlooked one. As to the venue where the wedding was held, one would think if a package had been left behind they would contact the family who rented the place, if only to protect their reputation.

Dear Abby: We recently moved to another neighborhood. Most of the residents are elderly. Our closest neighbors are a very nice couple in their 70s.

We’ve gotten along well, but a problem has arisen and I’m not sure how to handle it.

I am a keen do-it-yourself enthusiast. When I get home from work at 2 p.m., I love to go into my workshop and work on one of the many projects I always have going. I’ll do this for a couple of hours until my wife and kids get home. I admit, it probably gets a bit noisy with all the power tools, hammers, etc., and I usually leave the door open to let some air in.

My neighbor approached me today and told me his wife usually naps from 2 to 4 every afternoon, and the noise I make is disturbing her. Until he told me that, I had no idea their downstairs bedroom is only a few feet from our communal fence. (My workshop is right up against the fence.)

Would it be rude to suggest she find another time to nap or maybe sleep in another room? I can’t imagine having

to sit around and waste time every afternoon waiting for her to finish her nap, especially since she has most of the day to nap while I’m at work. This doesn’t seem fair to me. My wife thinks I’m being a bit hard, so we agreed to accept your opinion on this. – D.I.Y. Guy Dear D.I.Y. Guy: I’m pretty sure your neighbor’s wife takes her naps at the time of day when she needs one, and she would be unable to adjust her sleep schedule to accommodate you. However, your idea of suggesting she try sleeping in another part of the house so she won’t be disturbed is a good one.

Or you might agree to a compromise so she starts her mid-day rest period a little earlier, and you start your projects a little later. That way you would both get what you need.

Pop culture knowledge of 12-step program not enough Many people, in fact millions of people, have gotten sober and stayed sober by working the steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.

The 12 steps of the program are well-known and are by now a part of modern culture.

The cost of that popularity is a pop-culture understanding of what the process really is.

As a wise person once said, “a little bit of information can be dangerous.”

“Bob” had read up about alcoholism and treatment.

He knew he had a problem, had for years, and knew the day would be coming, maybe soon, when he would have to address it.

After a particularly awful argument with his wife and a weekend bender, “Bob” decided rehab was the answer. “Bob” thought he had it covered because he knew about the books, the steps, the symptoms and what it would take to get to step 12. He even had some ideas about how the book might be improved to make it little easier and more understandable. He did his homework, could discuss the disease concept with clarity and participated in group, mostly to help the other patients.

When it was “Bob’s” turn to tell his story in group, it was clearly “alcoholism

light,” and the feedback he got was that he was arrogant and in denial. Deeply offended, “Bob” assured himself he knew the steps, could recite them, had read the book and knew he was an alcoholic.

What more could there be?

“Bob” was discharged at the end of his stay with a “guarded” prognosis, which he could not understand.

It took three months for “Bob” to find out information and knowledge was not enough to keep him sober.

Even though he went to AA, had a sponsor and did the homework, he never changed the attitude that he was smarter than the disease.

His relapse was unexpected to him but not to others who knew him, and it was both humiliating and consequential. “Bob” was the impaired driver of a car that hit and severely injured a pedestrian.

So here’s the parts that “Bob” didn’t get. It’s one thing to read and understand a book and another to ingest the principles of that book and apply them to life’s ups and downs.

“Bob” thought knowing was enough. In fact, “Bob” was arrogant enough to think that knowing was all there was.

He didn’t know what he didn’t know and wasn’t humble enough to recognize that.

The success of sobriety is the gradual movement toward applying the principles under all circumstances and then applying the principles under all circumstances with joy, grace and gratitude.

It’s not a 12-day or 12-week or 12-month program, but a 12-step program, and recovering people are not without their personal and human struggles. It’s really about the steady, regular process toward changing attitudes and lifestyle. That takes both humility and time.

What: Goshin Jujitsu self-defense classes. The curriculum provides a trained response to conflict.

According to the academy’s website, “Once the basic building blocks of techniques and skills are acquired, the program enables the student to continually build upon that foundation resulting in a realistic and usable framework of skills from which to respond in a moment of crisis.”

Where: Illinois Martial Arts Academy, 8505 RedTail Drive, Suite A, Lakewood Information: Call 815-477-4622 or visit www.illinoismartialartsacademy.com.

From fitness to self-defense

Women find strength in Lakewood Goshin Jujitsu class Story by JAMI KUNZER – jkunzer@shawmedia.com Photos by SARAH NADER – snader@shawmedia.com Tiffany Hyde used to fear trips to Chicago or walks alone in parking lots.

Now the 35-year-old Lake in the Hills woman has a much different attitude.

“Instead of shying away, I look around and say, ‘Just try something,’ ” she said with a grin as she headed into a recent Goshin Jujitsu self-defense class at the Illinois Martial Arts Academy in Lakewood.

While few women typically become involved in the male-dominated type of martial arts offered at the academy, about 40 percent of the roughly 100 students enrolled in classes at the Lakewood business

are women.

The trend has caught the eye of other martial arts instructors, who have quizzed owner Chuck Masny, a Sensai and head instructor, about it.

He doesn’t have a definite answer, but to him, it makes sense.

While many are drawn to the academy, which also includes classes in Kickboxing, sparring, grappling, Judo and other martial arts, for the fitness aspect of it, they soon find themselves seeking out self-defense.

“They start realizing how easy it can be to learn to defend yourself,” said Masny, who originally became involved after being bullied as a child.

Small for his age, he started with karate, discovered Jujitsu after high school and has been doing it for 19 years. While he has a black belt in Goshin

Jujitsu and American Karate/Kickboxing, he also learned and teaches Brazilian Jujitsu as well as boxing, Judo and Kai. The type of self-defense he teaches isn’t about being bigger or stronger than the opponent to win.

“I’m not a very big guy, so that’s a big thing for me,” he said.

Often, women think of “big, beafy, meathead guys” when they think martial arts, he said.

They’re intimidated, he said. He works to take all the intimidation out of it.

Through the classes, students learn to use speed, agility and detailed movements to escape and defer strikes and grabs. At a recent class, they learned how to escape a choke-hold, grabbing a wrist in a specific manner and twisting out. Some classes teach about

disarming weapons, as well.

Students learn real-world self defense moves, what to do if someone tries to grab a purse, knock them down, choke them.

“I don’t fit the profile of a typical Jujitsu instructor,” Masny said. “I’m not that macho type of instructor.”

The students, especially women, sometimes gain as much or more emotionally as they do physically, those involved say.

They begin to think, “I have the ability to defend myself,” Masny said. “I perceive myself differently.

You don’t look like an easy target. They’re not the same person anymore. They’re more confident.”

See SELF-DEFENSE, page 11

Sensai Chuck Masny demonstrates how to escape an attacker on Hyde while teaching the class. Masny said of the students who take his class, “They’re not the same person anymore. They’re more confident.”

Continued from page 9 Students, such as Marilyn Jacobs of Lakemoor, often become involved with kickboxing before moving onto the self-defense classes. Jacobs has been taking classes for about two years.

The 38-year-old also was bullied as a child in school.

She now feels like she can handle any situation, she said.

“I wish they would pick on me now,” she said with a smile.

In between recent classes, she knocked on a window to get her partner to come back into the sparring area.

“She’s not done with you,” Masny told her partner.

Also a kickboxer at the beginning, Holly Schaeffer said she moved into the self-defense because Masny talked her into it. And be-

cause, she said, he’s always been so responsive and made everything comfortable.

“It’s not this macho environment where we feel like we cannot learn,” the 30-year-old said. “There’s such a range of women that go there, from 15- and 16-year-olds up through late 30s. There’s a good range of sizes and ages, and we all work together really well, and it’s a really great environment.”

What really stood out for Hyde was learning how to get someone off of her if she’s ever thrown to the ground.

It’s very easy for women to be overpowered, those involved say.

She became involved after watching her 10-yearold daughter take a martial arts class and learn what to do if she was knocked down.

“That’s when I was like, ‘I love this,’ ” Hyde remembered.

“I decided to take the plunge at 32 and wish I had done it earlier, but we just couldn’t afford it when I was a kid. Now I can!”

The August Birthstone-PERIDOT Peridot’s (pear a dough) color is usually a lively lime green but can have a brownish or olive cast. Iron causes the attractive yellowish green hues. Peridot is a silicate of Iron & Magnesium. It has been found in limited quantities in volcanic regions all over the world including parts of Italy & Hawaii. Some of the finest are mined in Myanmar. The world’s largest source is the San Carlos Native American Reservation in Arizona. China, Brazil & Pakistan also produce a fair market share.

Peridot is a 6.5 to 7 on the hardness scale (of 1 to 10). It requires care when worn because it scratches easily. Peridot is one of the few stones that is not treated in any way to enhance it’s natural beauty. It is also very sensitive to rapid temperature change and should be treated with extra care if it’s setting requires any repairs. The best method of cleaning in water with mild soap.

Legend has it that peridot was favored by pirates, considered powerful amulets against evil. When set in gold, it would protect the wearer from night terrors. If the stone were fashioned into a chalice, from which medicines were drunk, it was believed to intensify the effects of the drug.

Royal supporter Margaret Tyler displays balloons in front of the Lindo Wing at St. Mary’s Hospital in London, where Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to her first child, a boy, George Alexander Louis. The proud parents did not learn the gender of the baby until he was born.

Team Green won’t learn baby’s gender

By LEANNE ITALIE The Associated Press NEW YORK – While parents-to-be always hope for a healthy baby, finding out the gender of a little bundle ahead of time makes it so much more personal and fun. Or does it?

Prince William and his wife Kate have some non-royal company in choosing not to learn whether their first child was boy or girl.

Heather Crothall finds herself happily in that camp, too, and there’s even a name for it at the mom site BabyCenter.com: Team Green.

“We would rather be surprised,” said Crothall. Due Oct. 1 with her first child, she said her husband’s into the mystery, too, although his resolve is cracking just a bit.

“For my part, I think it’s a fantastic motivation for getting through delivery,” she said by telephone from Windsor, Ontario, just across the border from Detroit.

Meantime, she and her husband are dealing with some serious pushback from some loved ones.

“I wasn’t expecting nearly as many people to be polarized as much as they are by it. ‘Why are you being selfish?’ is really the biggest question. It’s seen as a decision that somehow we’re withholding critical information.

They’ve made it that we’re being difficult,” Crothall said.

Not everybody, mind you, but even strangers haven’t been shy about expressing their puzzlement.

Christine Ward in Sacramento, Calif., landed in an unusual pickle when she wanted to know the gender of her first but her husband preferred to remain in the dark.

“He wanted the traditional experience of finding out what the sex was at the birth,” she said. “I’m good at keeping secrets.”

Ward and Crothall agreed those looking for gender-neutral clothing and other baby gear need to dig a little deeper, especially if they’re not fond of animal or jungle themes – or brown.

“We’re not pink-equals-girl and blue-equals-boy people, anyway.

Fortunately, the colors we chose for the nursery – white, yellow and gray – are among the more popular genderneutral choices,” Ward said.

Among the challenges: remembering to refer to the baby as “kid, kiddo or, if kicking especially hard, ‘spawn,’ ” she joked.

While expectant parents who want to be surprised feel in the minority, a 2007 Gallup Poll showed them slightly on top. Gallup asked 1,014 adults in the U.S. ages 18 and older where they hypothetically stood on the gender secret if they had “just found out” they were having a baby.

According to the poll, a rare look at who wants to know and who doesn’t, 51 percent said they would wait until the baby is born, while 47 percent said they would like to know ahead of time.

The reasons for keeping the secret can vary, but the headaches are more universal.

Jillian Duquette, who lives near Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and is due Sept.

5 with her first, said she and her husband are dealing with “a lot of annoying green or yellow” while shopping for clothes for their mystery baby.

“I feel like there are no surprises in life anymore,” she said. “We wanted something that was a good surprise.”

“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. – Jef-

“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.

RATINGS HHHH - Excellent HHH - Recommended HH - Not recommended H - Awful

“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: An attractively designed but narratively challenged, onenote 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. 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 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-
