Schools juggle finances to meet students’ needs

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com Even during quiet summer months, McHenry County school districts juggle numerous financial factors such as classroom sizes, salaries and state mandates to ensure students learn the rules of the road for the first time.

From Woodstock to Huntley, each high school district is required to provide 30 hours of classroom instruction and six hours

of behind-the-wheel training for students who have secured their learner’s permit.

But the cost of that driver’s education often varies among smaller and larger districts even in the summer, when students often forgo vacation to return to class to receive their driver’s license.

“The main objective of driver’s education is to help create safe drivers

LAKE IN THE HILLS – While in McHenry County on Monday to celebrate the opening of an affordable senior housing community, U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Ill., said he fully expects to be cleared of any wrongdoing regarding a trip he took to Taiwan in 2011.

The House Ethics Committee is investigating a claim made by the Office of Congressional Ethics, an independent watchdog agency, that Roskam’s trip was improperly funded by the Taiwanese government.

Rare stomach bug reported in McHenry County jbustos@shawmedia.com

WOODSTOCK – A fired McHenry County prosecutor had his year-old federal lawsuit brought back to life by an appellate court and also has filed new documents alleging that State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi slandered his reputation.

A civil lawsuit filed in 2012 by former Assistant State’s Attorney Kirk Chrzanowski was dismissed six months after it was filed. Last week, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed that decision, sending it back to the federal trial court judge.

In a separate civil filing in McHenry County, Chrzanowski alleges that comments State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi made to the Northwest Herald after his termination damaged Chrzanowski’s business and professional reputation.

Chrzanowski is seeking unspecified damages in excess of $50,000 from each case.

In an email to the Northwest Herald, McHenry County Department of Health spokeswoman Debra Quackenbush said the person infected in McHenry County was treated with antibiotics and has recovered.

The cases around the state are in five separate counties, making it difficult to find a culprit. The

first case was reported in midJune, Arnold said.

An outbreak of the same stomach illnesses in Iowa and Nebraska has been linked to salad mix served at Olive Garden and Red Lobster restaurants and supplied by a Mexican farm. Recent cyclospora infections have sickened more than 400 people in 16 states.

Making sense of real fake reality Sometimes I get a bit overwhelmed by reality. Show me the sky on a clear night and I’m starstruck. Play Mozart for me and I’m disconcerted. Hand me a checkbook and a bank statement and I’m outnumbered. And give me a big mouthful of blueberry pie and I’m speechless.

So reality sometimes can be a bit bewildering to me. But, for some reason, reality TV shows make 100 percent sense to me. I understand “Survivor.” I get “American Idol.” And I can totally relate to “The Biggest Loser.”

But then along came a show that spun my TV reality equilibrium out of control. It’s a show called “Siberia.”

Evidently, “Siberia” is a fake reality TV show. That means it has the premise of a real reality show, but it’s actually fake. I mean, the people in it are actors and it’s all scripted. So what appears to be reality is fake, but what is fake appears to be reality. Are you as confused as I am?

When I first saw the trailer for this series, it looked very real: 16 people taken into a remote part of Siberia to win a prize of $500,000, if they can be the last one standing. It was like

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava “Survivor” with snow.

Believing that it was a real reality show, I decided to tune into its premiere. Everything seemed real to me.

There were helicopters flying the people in. The host with a cool accent laid down the rules, and suddenly all the contestants are scurrying through the backwoods like Siberian musk deer in order to avoid being eliminated as the last ones to arrive at their camp.

Everyone in that first episode seemed quite normal for a real reality show: There was the really buff lazy guy who won’t help out, the gorgeous model from Australia who dominates the camera, the underdog nerdy computer programmer with the black horn-rimmed glasses and your basic professional rugby player from England.

I was still buying into the program when it took a dramatic detour from other reality shows. During the last

10 minutes of the premiere, one of the cameramen staggered bloodied into camp. Before you knew it, the host announces to the contestants that Tommy, the 20ish headbanded philanthropist from Boston, is dead.

No details and no explanation. Yikes.

This is worse than the guy who actually gained weight one week on “The Biggest Loser.”

There I was, baffled with this fake reality show because I thought it was real reality. But all I knew was that I had to tune in the next week to find out what would happen next.

So I did. And there was more weird stuff. Like people eating poisoned mushrooms and cutting off their fingers and finding otherworldly animal footprints. Not to mention the strange shrieking noises they hear coming from the forest at night. What is going on here? It was strange enough that I was really starting to wonder about this show.

So I went to the Internet and, boom, I find out it’s all fake! Tommy, the guy who was killed in the first episode, is alive and well and is a geologist-turned-model from Massa-

chusetts. Johnny, the fellow who cut off part of his trigger finger at the campfire, is really a business administration/Spanish major who still has all 10 digits. And to top it all off, “Siberia” is not even filmed in Siberia … it’s shot somewhere in Manitoba, Canada!

That was it for me, no more visits to that show. As a wise president once said, “Fool me once, shame on … shame on you. Fool me … you can’t get fooled again.”

So I guess I’m just another victim of real fake reality. But that’s not all bad. Real fake reality could come in handy in writing my columns. After all, if Siberia could be in Canada, then I certainly could write about how I was born in France and became a calendar savant.

Northwest Herald Web Poll Question

BOSTON – James “Whitey” Bulger’s lawyers tried to put the government itself on trial during closing arguments Monday, accusing federal prosecutors of making sweetheart deals with ruthless killers to put the reputed Boston crime boss behind bars.

A prosecutor, meanwhile, summed up the government’s case by calling Bulger “one of the most vicious, violent and calculating criminals ever to walk the streets of Boston,” and urged the jury to convict

him of charges that include 19 killings committed during the 1970s and ’80s.

The jury is expected to begin deliberating Tuesday in the racketeering case against the 83-year-old Bulger, whose 16 years on the run embarrassed the FBI and exposed the bureau’s corrupt relationship with its underworld informants.

Bulger’s lawyers attacked the credibility of three key government witnesses: former hit man John Martorano, one-time Bulger protege Kevin Weeks and mobster Stephen “The Rifleman” Flemmi.

Defense attorney J.W. Carney Jr. said the three former Bulger loyalists decided to “add a little Bulger to the mix” to almost every crime they were questioned about so they could get time shaved off their sentences.

Carney argued that their testimony was bought and paid for by prosecutors.

“The witnesses are selling their testimony to the government,” Carney said. “The currency that’s used here: How much freedom is the person going to get? The currency is the power of the government to keep someone locked up in

a cell, surrounded by four concrete walls topped by barbed wires.”

Martorano and Weeks have completed their prison sentences and are free. Flemmi struck a deal to avoid the death penalty and is serving a life sentence.

The defense went after Flemmi in particular, saying Flemmi, not Bulger, had a motive to kill the two women who are among the 19 murder victims. According to testimony, Flemmi had been sexually abusing one of the women – his own stepdaughter – for years.

Quinn interested in forming Metra task force

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn said Monday that he’s interested in forming a panel of experts to look at overhauling the Chicago area’s scandal-plagued commuter railroad, Metra, and the Regional Transportation Authority, which oversees it.

Four Metra board members have resigned in recent weeks amid criticism of a

$718,000 buyout of ousted Metra CEO Alex Clifford. He claims he was pushed out for resisting pressure on hiring and salary issues from politicians, including Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, who denies wrongdoing.

Quinn said the problems that have plagued Metra for years, including the latest ones, should sound an “alarm bell” for needed reforms.

“We need to have fundamental overhaul in the whole

oversight of public transit in northeastern Illinois,” Quinn said after an unrelated event in Chicago.

The Chicago Democrat didn’t go into detail about his plan or disclose a timeline for it, but he said he’d likely wait to form a task force until after a state inspector general’s investigation of the allegations is completed. He suggested that Illinois Transportation Secretary Ann Schneider would likely be one of the pan-

el experts.

Quinn has formed similar panels before.

In 2009, he appointed a group to investigate admission practices at the University of Illinois after admission preferences for well-connected applicants were revealed by news reports. Eventually, Quinn replaced nearly all board members at the university.

In the case of Metra, Quinn doesn’t have the same power

to appoint board members, but thinks an overhaul of the structure is needed.

Quinn said he’d want the panel to come up with recommendations for lawmakers, potentially by the fall.

Metra has been in the spotlight for corruption issues before, starting with bribery allegations about a decade ago. Clifford’s predecessor, Phil Pagano, was accused of defrauding Metra out of about $475,000. He committed sui-

cide in 2010 by stepping in front of a Metra train.

Quinn isn’t the only one advocating for reforms at RTA and Metra.

His potential 2014 gubernatorial challengers, including Democratic former White House chief of staff Bill Daley, have called for changes. Republican state Sen. Bill Brady, who has also launched a bid, has proposed legislation for reforms, including term limits for board members.

Immigration bill critics shift focus

By ERICA WERNER The Associated Press

A Yemeni soldier stops a car at a checkpoint Sunday in a street leading to the U.S. embassy in Sanaa, Yemen. Security forces closed access roads, put up extra blast walls and beefed up patrols near some of the 21 U.S. diplomatic missions in the Muslim world that Washington ordered closed for the weekend over a “significant threat” of an al-Qaida attack.

Al-Qaida chief’s message led to embassy closures The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – An intercepted secret message between al-Qaida chief Ayman al-Zawahri and his deputy in Yemen about plans for a major terror attack was the trigger that set off the current shutdown of many U.S. embassies, two officials told The Associated Press on Monday.

A U.S. intelligence official and a Mideast diplomat said al-Zawahri’s message was picked up several weeks ago and appeared to initially target Yemeni interests. The threat was expanded to include American or other Western sites abroad, officials said, indicating the target could be a single embassy, a number of posts or some other site. Lawmakers have said it was a massive plot in the final stages, but they have offered no specifics.

The intelligence official said the message was sent to Nasser al-Wahishi, the head of the terror network’s organization, based in Yemen, known as al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula.

Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the sensitive issue publicly.

American spies and intelligence analysts on Monday scoured email, phone calls and radio communications be-

tween al-Qaida operatives in Yemen and the organization’s senior leaders to determine the timing and targets of the planned attack.

The call from al-Zawahri, who took over for Osama bin Laden after U.S. Navy SEALs killed the al-Qaida leader in May 2011, led the Obama administration to close diplomatic posts from Mauritania on Africa’s west coast through the Middle East to Bangladesh, east of India, and as far south as Madagascar.

The U.S. did decide to reopen some posts on Monday, including well-defended embassies in Kabul, Afghanistan, and Baghdad.

Authorities in Yemen, meanwhile, released the names of 25 wanted al-Qaida suspects and said those people had been planning terrorist attacks targeting “foreign offices and organizations and Yemeni installations” in the capital Sanaa and other cities across the country.

The Yemeni government also went on high alert Monday, stepping up security at government facilities and checkpoints.

Officials in the U.S. wouldn’t say who intercepted the initial suspect communications – the CIA, the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency or one of the other intelligence agencies

– that kicked off the sweeping pre-emptive closure of U.S. facilities. But an intelligence official said the controversial NSA programs that gather data on American phone calls or track Internet communications with suspected terrorists played no part in detecting the initial tip. That official spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss the spying publicly.

A U.S. official familiar with the threat information said the decision to close the embassies was based on a broad swath of information, not just the intercept. The official said the U.S. has made clear in the past that AQAP makes its own operational decisions – that there are back-and-forth communications between al-Qaida leadership and AQAP, but that they operate independently.

The official was not authorized to disclose the information to reporters and thus spoke on condition of anonymity.

Once the plot was detected, NSA analysts could use the programs that leaker Edward Snowden revealed to determine whom the plotters may have contacted around the world. Snowden revealed one program that collected telephone data such as the numbers called and the duration of calls on U.S. telephone networks.

WASHINGTON – For many House conservatives, President Barack Obama’s decision to delay a central provision of his health care law has emerged as a major arguing point – not against that law but in opposition to immigration legislation In the weeks since the announcement that employers won’t have to provide health insurance for another year, complaints have increased among House Republicans that they can’t trust the Obama administration to implement any law they pass.

That includes strict requirements for immigrants, tighter

border security and genuine workplace hiring enforcement.

That refrain is heard often from GOP lawmakers, most of whom now are home for a five-week summer recess that’s expected to feature demonstrations around the country by advocates as well as opponents of a broad immigration overhaul.

It’s one more daunting obstacle to House action after Senate passage in June of a sweeping bill to increase border security, remake rules for legal immigration and offer eventual citizenship to the estimated 11 million immigrants already in the U.S. illegally.

“We all take an oath to up-

hold the laws of this country and our Constitution, and that doesn’t mean you pick the laws you like and you ignore the laws you don’t,” said Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., who heads the conservative Republican Study Committee in the House. “And yet the president has shown a willingness to be selective in how he enforces laws.”

House Republicans also are skeptical of the comprehensive approach taken by the Senate, preferring to confront the immigration issue in bits and pieces. Many oppose legalization or citizenship for people who crossed the border illegally or overstayed their visas to be in this country.

U.S. embassies in 4 African countries also closed

By JASON STRAZIUSO The Associated Press NAIROBI, Kenya – The U.S. State Department closed its embassies in four sub-Saharan African nations as part of a heightened security alert, days before the 15th anniversary of al-Qaida’s bombings of American diplomatic missions in Kenya and

Tanzania.

Those two embassies targeted in the Aug. 7, 1998, attacks were rebuilt as more heavily fortified structures away from populated areas where they would be less vulnerable to attack. Those embassies remain open, but the diplomatic missions in Rwanda and Burundi, small countries which border Tan-

zania to the west, and the island nations of Madagascar and Mauritius were ordered closed.

The State Department has shut down U.S. facilities in countries including Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait until Aug. 10. U.S. diplomatic posts in 19 cities, including the four in sub-Saharan Africa,

a local official tackled him and shot him with his own gun.

State police in Lehighton confirm three people are dead and say the gunman had an ongoing dispute with township officials over the possible condemnation of his property.

Monroe County emergency

management director Guy Miller says the shooting happened Monday evening during Ross Township’s regular monthly meeting.

He said the gunman has been captured and is in state police custody.

will be closed through the end of the week.

U.S. officials gave no hint as to why the four U.S. embassies in sub-Saharan Africa were closed. None of the four is known for high-level terror threats. A State Department spokeswoman for Africa didn’t respond to an email query.

But al-Qaida operatives

remain in East Africa, and one Africa expert noted that Burundi and Rwanda each have an older U.S. Embassy building that is less secure than newer embassies, such as those built far off the road in Tanzania and Kenya.

The expert, J. Peter Pham, the director of the Africa Center at the Washington, D.C.-based Atlantic Council,

also noted that Mohammed Jamal Khalifa – a brotherin-law to Osama bin Laden – was killed in Madagascar in 2007. Khalifa was known as an al-Qaida financier and was reportedly killed by U.S. special operations forces.

“So there was an al-Qaida presence in Madagascar as recently as six years ago,” Pham said.

Illness can be treated with antibiotics • BUG Continued from page A1 In Illinois, none of the people infected has required hospitalization.

The four other cases of cyclosporiasis were reported in Montgomery, Jo Daviess, Lake and Sangamon counties.

Illinois health officials believe the Sangamon County patient acquired the infection in Iowa, and they have provided information on that case to Iowa health officials, Arnold said.

The illness is caused by a microscopic parasite. People get sick when they consume contaminated food or water.

After exposure, people usu-

ally get sick after about a week and have diarrhea and other flulike symptoms that can last from a few days to a month or longer if untreated.

The illness is not generally contagious and can be treated with antibiotics.

U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam speaks Monday during the opening celebration of The Residences of Lake in the Hills, a rental community for independent seniors.

Committee will announce action by Sept. 11 • ROSKAM Continued from page A1 new information that wasn’t initially vetted by the Ethics Committee, Roskam said he anticipates the investigation will prove no rules were violated.

“Politics is an arena where you expect a high level of scrutiny, so it’s not a surprise,” Roskam told the Northwest Herald after Monday’s opening. “I’ve been pleased to completely cooperate [with the Ethics Committee]. We’ve released all the information in order to get everything out there, so there’s no surprises. We followed all the rules, all the regulations, and I’m sure anybody that looks at it com-

pletely will come to the same conclusion.”

In October 2011, Roskam and his wife visited Taiwan on an officially connected fact-finding trip to learn about Taiwanese culture as well as economic and security ties between the U.S. and Taiwan. Roskam’s daughter also was teaching in Taiwan at the time.

The eight-day trip cost more than $25,000, according to the Office of Congressional Ethics. The majority of the cost was related to travel to and within Taiwan, Roskam spokeswoman Stephanie Gengo said.

The Office of Congressional Ethics alleged the Taiwan trip may have been an impermissible gift because of the involvement with the

Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States, which is the de facto Taiwanese Embassy.

Roskam and his representatives said the Chinese Cultural University in Taipei sponsored the trip and is an appropriate private sponsor.

Roskam’s camp also said the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office was a necessary and expected liaison for the trip, and the involvement was disclosed to the Ethics Committee before the trip.

The Ethics Committee will announce its course of action

by Sept. 11, at which point Roskam believes he will be cleared of any wrongdoing.

“That’s my hope and my expectation,” he said.

Schools generally allowed to charge students between $50 and $250 to help cover program • TEENS Continued from page A1 and ensure that students understand their role and their responsibility and trying to do it in the most cost-effective and affordable way possible for the student and us as a district,” said George Oslovich, Woodstock District 200 assistant superintendent for middle and high school.

Like most school systems, District 200 offers driver’s education during the regular fall and spring terms, and the less popular summer school, while keeping up with state orders on how to structure both the finances and curriculum of the program.

Schools generally are allowed to charge students between $50 and $250 to help cover the program, under state rules. The bulk of a school’s driver’s education expenses typically cover salaries and vehicle maintenance.

Schools also receive a state reimbursement for operating the program based on the number of students participating in both the classroom and behind-the-wheel parts of the program.

In District 200, administrators spent roughly $267,000 last year to run their program during all three terms, including $12,970 alone spent during the summer to teach 45 students driver’s education.

The teachers used to instruct those students behind the wheel generally are the same certified teachers used to teach students in the fall and spring at the district’s two high schools.

Administrators also will hire retired driver’s education teachers on a part-time basis if student demand in the program creates scheduling conflicts.

Teachers are compensated at a rate of $41.50 an hour, based on the number of instruction hours they teach, said Risa Hanson, District 200’s chief financial officer.

The district charged students $200 last year to participate in the year-round program.

But in nearby Harvard District 50, the smaller district compensates behindthe-wheel teachers at $24 an hour included in a operating budget of roughly $107,670 last year.

Harvard administrators charge students $200 to participate, but 50 percent of those fees are waived for students who are unable to pay, a discount that also is mandated by the state.

At Huntley District 158, administrators are beginning to see roughly half of driver’s education students enroll in the summer program versus the fall and spring terms.

Huntley High School also increased the number of driver’s education classes during the summer from four to six

this past year.

The school would like to see more students enroll in driver’s education during the summer, said Anne Pasco, Huntley High School’s summer school administrator.

The more balanced enrollment throughout all three terms takes the pressure off program coordinators to hire additional part-time teachers to help with increased workload during peak times in the regular school year.

“We can be fiscally responsible with hiring our staff and pace them out throughout the entire year. ... It essentially helps us extend the school year,” Pasco said.

District 158 relies on seasonal, part-time help from teachers who have had experience teaching at Huntley during the summer season.

The district compensates those behind-the-wheel teachers at $30 an hour, based on the number of instruction hours with students.

The district charges students the maximum $250 fee and receives roughly $140,000 a year in fees and state reimbursements that have so far supported the district’s driver’s education budget, Chief Financial Officer Mark Altmayer said.

“For all intents and purposes, we are near close to a self-sustaining program,” he said. “Rarely does the state cover the costs that we need them to cover.”

The federal lawsuit claims Chrzanowski was fired for testifying about allegations that Bianchi had improperly arranged a plea deal for a defendant who was a relative of Ron Salgado, a state’s attorney’s office investigator.

Bianchi, who eventually was criminally indicted twice by special prosecutors, was acquitted after two separate bench trials before the defense called any witnesses.

Chrzanowski says that after he was disclosed as a potential witness for the prosecution, Bianchi allegedly began retaliating by placing negative information in his personnel file – which had otherwise contained positive feedback.

One example was a memo in which Bianchi said Chr-

zanowski failed to introduce him to two college students who were interning at the office.

“He never would have thought of introducing me to them had I not stopped him and made a point of it,” Bianchi allegedly wrote in the memo.

A federal judge dismissed the case in July 2012, saying that Chrzanowski’s testimony wasn’t subject to First Amendment protections; it was part of his duties as a public official. In short, the federal appellate court ruled on Friday that his testimony did not fall within his purview as an assistant state’s attorney.

“Kirk was doing the right thing in testifying against [Bianchi] because he believes in the right thing,” his attorney, Rebecca Lee, said.

“It’s not about punishment, it’s about making sure justice is served.”

Bianchi had little com-

$5000

ment, other than saying he intends to “vigorously” defend himself against the allegations.

“I have no doubts we will win either lawsuit,” Bianchi said.

Criminal Division Chief Michael Combs also is named as a co-defendant in the federal lawsuit.

In his most recent civil lawsuit, Chrzanowski says Bianchi’s comments to a former Northwest Herald reporter were intended to damage or harm Chrzanowski’s personal and business reputation.

The statement: “Chrzanowski gave misinformation to the special prosecutor that showed lack of integrity and that was why he was terminated” was not a direct quote, but a paraphrase, from Bianchi.

Chrzanowski now works for an Oak Brook-based law firm. He did not respond to a request for a comment.

Library made right decision Sometimes, one voice can bring about change.

Just ask Brien Cron, a homeless man living at PADS transitional living home in Woodstock. Cron, 41, recently spoke out about being denied a library card at the Woodstock Public Library, saying the experience made him feel like a “second-rate citizen.”

For the record His words inspired the library The Woodstock Public Library to drop the nearly is to be commended for the decadelong rule that banned those compromise it reached for PADS residents. staying at PADS from checking out books. The library stopped issuing cards about 10 years ago to those with the shelter’s address because of several instances where PADS residents checked out materials, then left the home without returning the items.

Library Director Nick Weber, who started his post in January, wasn’t aware of the issue until it was brought to his attention.

Under a unanimous decision by the library board last week, residents of transitional living facilities in either Woodstock or the rural Woodstock library district now can get a library card that provides a similar use to the card that rural residents receive.

It allows them to check out up to three items at a time and download books on electronic devices, as well as have continued access to the computers. The card will expire every six months, but is renewable.

They won’t have the same benefits as a city resident would – such as accessing materials from other libraries and using their cards elsewhere – but it’s a fair compromise, seeing as residents pay taxes to allow the library to function.

Cron, who works at Brown Printing Co., called the change “awesome news” and said he was happy with the board understanding his concern.

So are we. The homeless are often at a disadvantage when it comes to access to programs and information that might help them overcome the barriers they face. Public libraries are intended to be equalizers by providing information and educational opportunities to all people.

The library is to be commended for finding a compassionate compromise that looks out for taxpayers while extending a welcoming hand to the homeless.

SNAP fraud State welfare officials and the USDA agreed earlier this week to permit local police to investigate stores for fraud in the Supplement Nutrition Assistance Program. Under the agreement, already in force in 14 others states, local police can go after stores who accept SNAP credit, but rather than sell food to beneficiaries, simply issue them a smaller amount of cash, which they can then use as they see fit.

Such a practice is an obvious abuse of the welfare system, and we’re glad to see the state and feds empowering cities and towns to crack down on it.

But as with most recent reforms to welfare, it’s a very modest step to end what is likely a very small piece of the problem. Lawmakers continue to balk at taking the most obvious and necessary step – making it impossible to use welfare benefit cards to obtain cash at ATMs. Abuses of the system must be rooted out and eliminated for the good of all.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Address Social Security To the Editor: In response to the Northwest Herald’s article published July 30 on the drain of Social Security by the increasing number of retiring baby boomers, legislation has been introduced in Washington with no positive results.

Bernie Sanders, the Independent senator from Vermont, proposed legislation almost two years ago that would make Social Security solvent for the next 75 years. The quick fix is to keep the current cap of 6.2 percent on those earning up to $113,700 and then tax again those who earn $250,000 or more.

Two independent polls indicated about 65 percent of Americans polled were in favor of this legislation.

However, our lame Congress has yet to address the will of the people. Rhetoric has risen that those earning over $250,000 will not get the full benefit from Social Security based on taxes they paid to that system. True, but we as a society must take steps to protect a system on which so many seniors and future generations rely.

Yes, the wealthy may not get all the bang for the bucks paid into Social Security, but we have to stop looking at things as “what’s in it for me?” This is about all of us and future generations. Just like taxes we continue to pay once our children progress from public school systems, taxes we no longer benefit from but benefit our

schools, our society as a whole.

Sanders’ legislation benefits society as whole. Remember the good feeling we had after seeing the movie “Pay It Forward”?

Compassionate culture To the Editor: I absolutely agree with the author of the letter “Deserving respect” published July 27. Truthfully nobody for any reason should have to endure bad behavior or bullying. Especially when the reason to hurt another is for no other reason except the joy to hurt.

Unfortunately we will never have a community immune to such behavior because it will take more than Phillip’s letter, more than mine. It will take a change in culture. We have become a culture where cruel behavior and being mean is accepted, ignored, just plain not dealt with.

If we want a community to be immune and start being a culture of caring and compassion, it needs to start not only outside of Chipotle.

It needs to start at home with parents, at school with teachers, at work with bosses, and most importantly, with each other.

Treating each other with kindness should never be based on what one’s sexual preference is, what one’s weight is, how one looks, how much money one has, what race they are, what political party they support or what church

PADS needs shelter To the Editor: Bitter winds that blow in October are not far away. They will blow relentlessly for seven months.

During those months, more than 300 people who are experiencing homelessness will seek food and overnight shelter at nine McHenry County churches. Hundreds of volunteers spend thousands of hours caring for these most vulnerable people.

But we are in a bind. We are losing our Monday night shelter for men: Longtime shelter Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, Cary, now has capacity for only women and children.

McHenry County PADS needs another congregation to step up to serve as the Monday night shelter for men from Oct. 1 through April

30. The need is desperate. We are calling on the faith community for help.

The work is not easy, and it does not come without costs. But it is a ministry that Jesus calls upon us to fill. “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful,” Jesus teaches (Luke 6:36).

Shelters are open from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. A hot meal is served before guests turn in. Breakfast and a sack lunch are provided Tuesday morning. Volunteers are needed to set up sleeping pads. Volunteers are needed to keep watch overnight and to see the people along their way when vans pick them up.

The church can expect anywhere from 25 to more than 70 guests each night – people who would freeze in the wintry elements without shelter.

We need one more congregation.

Is Sen. Raoul a potential candidate for Illinois governor?

Sen. Kwame Raoul, D-Chicago, apparently was taken aback a few weeks ago when his standard public comments about not ruling out a race for governor were taken as a sign that he might very well run.

The reaction should’ve been predictable. The most recent Capitol Fax/We Ask America poll, taken in mid-July, had Gov. Pat Quinn getting just 38 percent of the Democratic primary vote. That’s pretty awful for an incumbent. Bill Daley, who made his exploratory candidacy official last week, was at 33 percent.

That leaves a lot of wide open space for a new challenger. There is a very definable path for Raoul to do well here. And while he might not win, he’d likely set himself up for a future statewide race – possibly the 2016 U.S. Senate primary – if he runs a credible campaign. There really just isn’t much of a downside, so let’s look at his path.

Race: African-Americans make

up a huge segment of the Democratic primary vote, so Raoul, who is black, should do quite well as long as he’s seen as a credible candidate.

Gov. Quinn is counting on winning the black vote in order to defeat Bill Daley, pretty much the same way he defeated Dan Hynes in 2010. Without that all-important constituency locked up, Quinn would be in very big trouble, indeed.

Quinn is not overwhelmingly popular with black voters. Just 47 percent back Quinn against Daley, according to the July poll, and Quinn’s job approval rating in a June poll among black Democrats was a mere 28 percent, while 40 percent disapproved.

Geography: Rumors abound that Quinn and Daley are looking at choosing urban minority running mates. Raoul, however, would be free to choose a white downstater or suburbanite, possibly giving him the only geographically “balanced”

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

VIEWS Rich Miller ticket on the Democratic side.

To say that Quinn is unpopular downstate would be the understatement of the year. And Daley isn’t trusted by downstaters. In the recent Democratic primary head-tohead poll I commissioned, “Undecided” led among downstaters with 36 percent.

Money: Raoul raised $400,000 in the second quarter for an aborted attorney general bid. While his fundraising total trails the other two Democratic candidates, Raoul has far more money in the bank right now than state Sen. Kirk Dillard, who is touted as a serious Republican gubernatorial contender.

Public employee unions are desperate to back a candidate in the

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

primary, but they don’t yet have anyone they can trust. Quinn and Daley want pension reforms that they oppose, for instance. So it’s possible they could wind up in his corner, which means big bucks.

Infrastructure: A late start in any statewide race is not a good thing because Illinois is so large and diverse and complicated, and you don’t just pop up and run for something without having any infrastructure in place.

He could have the strong support of Senate President John Cullerton, who has all but privately declared war on Quinn since the governor’s veto of state legislative salaries.

Cullerton’s formidable organization could help Raoul set up a statewide organization. Most of Cullerton’s members could be expected to pitch in as well.

If the unions jump in on his side, that also would be a big infrastructure help. Cook County

African-American Democrats are some of the most well-organized and politically aware ethnic group in the state.

The Downsides: Raoul has never won a contested race, and experience at taking and throwing hard punches is crucial in a high-level contest like this one. While known to and respected by much of the media and the political establishment, he likely has close to zero name recognition among the voting populace.

If he runs and ends up tossing the victory to Daley, he’ll likely upset several powerful black politicos.

And since he hasn’t been on the radar screen, nobody knows what an opposition report might find.

He’ll need plenty of fire in his belly just to survive the day-to-day ordeal, but I think he might be able to pull this off.

195 pounds of pot nets 5 years Man pleads guilty for biggest drug bust in Lake in the Hills history

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – An Elmhurst man charged in what Lake in the Hills police have called the biggest drug bust in the department’s history was sentenced to five years in prison.

The trial for Anthony V. Occhipinti, 35, was set to begin Monday, but instead he pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of more than 5,000 grams of marijuana, a Class 1 felony. In exchange for his guilty plea, a Class X felony drug charge was dismissed.

Breanna Bogucki, a 15-year-old Cary-Grove High School student with autism, signs copies of her CD while filming her music video “I Was Born Yesterday” on Monday in Cary. Bogucki is the 2012 winner of the Special Talents America competition and recorded a song written especially for her by Jim Peterik of Survivor and The Ides of March.

Special-needs student films music video at Cary-Grove

By LAWERENCE SYNETT lsynett@shawmedia.com CARY – It’s been a whirlwind of a year for CaryGrove High School sophomore Breanna Bogucki, and she might just be getting started.

After winning a talent competition in November for people with special needs, the teen with obsessive-compulsive disorder and high-functioning autism has recorded her first single for an upcoming album, which soon will include a music video.

The journey from contestant to professional musician hit a milestone of sorts on Monday when a portion of the music video was filmed at the District 155 high school with the help of students and staff, as well as Bogucki’s friends and supporters.

“I didn’t expect to win, let alone have a song written for me and have it turned into a music video,”

“I didn’t expect to win, let alone have a song written for me and have it turned into a music video.”

Breanna Bogucki films her music video “I Was Born Yesterday” on Monday in Cary. said Bogucki, 15. “I love the whole experience and that it is being shot in my hometown. It’s so much more realistic and so cool how everyone is supporting me.”

Bogucki, who now goes by the stage name Breanna Alyssa, won the Special Talents America competition with her rendition of Taylor Swift’s “Mean.”

That victory over about

40 performers and eight finalists came with a professional recording session with Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter

McHENRY – Fido will be allowed only two roommates.

The McHenry City Council unanimously approved an ordinance that limits the number of dogs residents can own to three at its meeting Monday evening. Residents currently with more than three dogs will be grandfathered in for those particular animals.

Staff recommended limiting the number of dogs over concerns of health, cleanliness and animals with a “pack mentality,” Deputy City Administrator Doug Martin said.

The city receives many calls asking whether there is a pet limit, and about 25 dog complaints are filed each year, Martin said. Most of the complaints deal with barking, dogs running at large and the failure of owners to pick up dog waste.

Algonquin and Lake in the Hills limit the total number of domestic animals to four.

Woodstock and Crystal Lake do not have limits.

Staff and the Community Development Committee had also considered limiting the number of cats, but that would have been virtually impossible to regulate, Martin said.

Unlike cats, dogs four months and older are registered with the McHenry County Department of Health.

Shelters and foster homes do not register their dogs through the county. Instead, they are registered through the Illinois Department of Agriculture, which limits the number of animals they can house to four.

That eliminates a concern raised by Alderman Bob Peterson about whether the ordinance would affect rescue dogs.

Despite the unanimous vote, several aldermen raised concerns.

Algonquin library set for $650K renovation

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – To improve efficiency within the library’s main branch, the Algonquin Area Public Library District is preparing to begin a $650,000 lobby renovation.

After the 3,050-square-foot project is complete, the lobby will include comfortable seating; a vending machine with snacks, coffee and cold beverages; and a station to charge laptops, mobile phones and other portable devices, according to a news release. The renovation will allow the li-

“We consistently save money for these kinds of projects, and carefully consider how to tangibly enhance the library experience and services we offer.”

Craig Pierce, marketing associate for the Algonquin library brary to have express checkin and checkout of library materials.

“A new concierge desk will continue [the district’s] long tradition of excellent customer service,” administrative librarian Lynn Elam said in a news release. “We’re elevating our level of human interaction while putting more

efficiency in our operation.”

The express check-in and checkout is expected to give the library better flow. Using an automated machine to check in books increases the library’s efficiency, according to a news release.

“Checked-in books, movies and materials will return to shelves more quickly and

with greater accuracy,” Elam said.

The renovation is the biggest construction project the main library has undergone since it was opened in 2001.

The renovation is in response to a 2011 survey that indicated people wanted a speedier check-in/checkout process, marketing associate for the library Craig Pierce wrote in an email to the Northwest Herald.

“We also have bright, informed staff who will have more time to work with patrons instead of simply scanning barcodes,” Pierce wrote.

Bogucki performed at Special Olympics Illinois State Games • MUSIC Continued from page B1 Jim Peterik, known best for several Survivor songs as well as his band, The Ides of March.

Peterik, a judge in the competition, partnered with Lisa McClowry, emcee of the competition and a singer and songwriter, to write an original song for Bogucki to record – “I Was Born Yesterday.”

“Everything has fallen into place since she discovered her gift,” said Peterik, who was at Cary-Grove for the filming of the music video. “She has a future. For how long, I don’t know, but we are hoping for the best.”

The song has been released on iTunes, Amazon and CD Baby. The music video will be released worldwide.

“It’s her opportunity to say, ‘I’m fragile, but accept me for who I am,’ ” Peterik said. “The song is about accepting those who are different.”

Cary-Grove junior Magalie Baker was one of about 50 people to participate in the music video shoot Monday.

“I think this is really cool,” said Baker, who befriended Bogucki last year during a lunch period. “This doesn’t happen to everyone, and she is so sweet and deserving of this success.”

Having the music video taped at Cary-Grove was fitting for Bogucki, who performed in front of about 10,000 people at the opening ceremonies for the Special Olympics Illinois State Games in Normal earlier this year. She also won five gold medals in artistic gymnastics.

“I’m still in a dream,” said her mother, Mary Ellen Bogucki. “Cary-Grove has been amazing and supported her all the way. They’ve bent over backward to make this [music video] happen.”

Greg Bizzaro, head of Special Talents America and Jaffe Films, donated his time and equipment to film the music video.

‘Meeting a need’ Officials celebrate opening of affordable senior housing

By JIM DALLKE jdallke@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – Political and community leaders celebrated the opening of an affordable rental community for seniors in Lake in the Hills Monday.

U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Wheaton, Illinois Housing Development Authority Executive Director Mary Kenney, and McHenry County leaders joined together to celebrate the opening of The Residences of Lake in the Hills, an affordable housing community for seniors.

Originally opened in March 2012, The Residences of Lake in the Hills is a two-story building located at 2601 Village Hall Drive and houses more than 100 seniors. The 92-unit development offers studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, each with a kitchen, central air conditioning and energy-efficient windows.

The $20.5 million project is the first age-restricted housing development designed to be affordable housing to seniors in Lake in the Hills.

“This is very impressive,” Roskam said. “This is a flagship location in McHenry County. It’s meeting a need.

It’s incredibly important that seniors have a place where they are safe and they are in a community. There is a lot to celebrate and admire based on what we’ve seen today.”

Dan Kotcher, president of DKI Real Estate and Investments, the company that designed The Residences of Lake in the Hills, said the housing fills an important need for McHenry County.

“There is a tremendous demand for affordable housing in this area,” Kotcher said. “The Illinois state legislature designated Lake in the Hills as one of several municipalities around the state that suffered from a severe lack of affordable housing.”

The waiting list to move into The Residences is more than 180 names long.

Kotcher added that his company would not have been able to build the living community if it were not for

Illinois Housing Development Authority Executive Director Mary Kenney speaks during the opening celebration of The Residences of Lake in the Hills. federal housing tax credits, which helped fund the project in large part.

“If tax reform leads to the reduction or the elimination of the housing tax credit, Illinois and the entire country will suffer a severe shortage of affordable housing, leading to fewer jobs, less revenue, and even more hardships for many,” he said.

“Without the housing credit, this project and others like it would never be built.”

The biggest financier of the project was JP Morgan Chase/Red Stone Equity Partners, which contributed $16 million to the building. HUD

contributed $2 million in permanent loans, followed by JP Morgan Chase with $1.3 million in permanent loans, $400,000 from the McHenry County HOME Funds grant, $300,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, and $300,000 from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.

Mary Kenney, executive director of the Illinois Housing Development Authority, said Gov. Pat Quinn has approved the construction of 11,000 affordable housing units for seniors and working class families during his time in office, and The Residences is another examples of the governor’s commitment to helping communities thrive.

“I think every resident here can probably testify to the fact of how important it is for us to honor our seniors and to keep them in their communities where they live,” she said.

DeWayne Spielman and his wife moved into The Residences last April and said the facility has been a great place for the couple to move.

“You cant ask for anything better,” he said. “We love it here. The people we’ve met here are great … we have a home within a home.”

Tablet shipments slow down with no new iPad The Associated Press NEW YORK – Worldwide shipments of tablet computers slowed down in the second quarter because Apple didn’t release a new model of its trend-setting iPad, research firm IDC said Monday.

Shipments totaled 45.1 million units in the April-June period, down nearly 10 percent from the first three months of the year. Still the secondquarter total is up nearly 60 percent from a year ago.

“A new iPad launch always piques consumer interest in the tablet category and traditionally that has helped both Apple and its competitors,” said Tom Mainelli, a research director at IDC. “With no new iPads, the market slowed for many vendors.”

Apple normally releases a new iPad in the spring, but it has moved toward updating products in the

WASHINGTON – U.S. service firms expanded in July at the fastest pace since February, fueled by a brisker month of sales and a jump in new orders. The increase suggests economic growth could be picking up after a weak first half of the year.

The Institute for Supply Management said Monday that its index of service-sector growth rose in July to 56.0, up from 52.2 in June. Any reading above 50 indicates expansion.

The survey covers businesses that employ 90 percent of the workforce, such as retail, construction, health care and financial services.

A measure of business activity, which includes current sales, rose to 60.4. That’s the highest since December and was driven in part by faster home construction. And a gauge of new orders, which indicates sales over the next few months, increased to 57.7 – a five-month high.

One concern is that a measure of employment at service companies fell in July. That echoed last week’s government employment report that showed hiring has slowed.

Employers added 162,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department said Friday. That’s down from 188,000 in June.

Nearly all of the hiring took place at service firms. And most new jobs were in lowpaying industries — half were at retail business or restaurants and bars.

Growth in the service industry depends largely on consumers, whose spending drives roughly 70 percent of economic activity. On Friday, the government said consumers increased their spending in June at the fastest pace in four month.

fall to take advantage of the lucrative holiday shopping season. That means people who want iPads may be holding out for a new model. Samsung and other rivals have released new tablet models this spring, but IDC says those launches didn’t get the spillover boost that a new iPad would have provided.

Mainelli said he expects weakness to continue in the July-September period, but tablet shipments should pick up again in the holiday quarter, when Apple and others are expected to release new products.

Besides a new iPad, Amazon.com Inc. is likely to refresh its Kindle Fire line, while Google Inc. is expected to come out with a new 10-inch Nexus model. The company released a new 7-inch Nexus last week.

Apple remains the leading maker of tablets, with 14.6 million shipped in the April-June period. But as dis-

closed in the company’s earnings report last month, shipments fell 14 percent from a year ago. IDC says Apple’s market share fell to 32 percent in the second quarter, compared with 60 percent in the same period in 2012.

Samsung Electronics Co., maker of the Galaxy line of phones and tablets, saw shipments nearly quadruple to 8.1 million in the second quarter. That gave Samsung a market share of 18 percent, up from 7.6 percent a year earlier.

AsusTek Computer Inc., which makes the Nexus 7 for Google along with its own branded tablets, was No. 3 with 2 million tablets. It was followed by Lenovo Group with 1.5 million and Acer Inc. with 1.4 million.

Microsoft Corp., maker of the Surface tablets, dropped out of the top five after coming in at No. 5 in the first quarter, according to IDC. Amazon also lost its top-five status. It had been No. 4 in the first quarter.

Tyson Foods profit more than triples, prices up SPRINGDALE, Ark. – Tyson Foods’ third-quarter net income more than tripled as chicken and beef sales climbed on increased prices.

The performance easily topped Wall Street’s expectations. Its stock rose more than 4 percent in midday trading on Monday after briefly touching an all-time high.

The nation’s biggest meat producer earned $249 million, or 68 cents per share, for the three months ended June 29.

That’s up sharply from $76 million, or 21 cents per share, a year ago.

Earnings from continuing operations were 69 cents per share.

Analysts, on average, expected earnings of 60 cents per share, according to a FactSet poll.

Revenue rose 11 percent to $8.73 billion from $8.26 billion, beating Wall Street’s estimate of $8.66 billion.

Chicken sales increased 11 percent to $3.16 billion, with the average price up 6 percent. Sales of beef rose 7 percent to $3.72 billion, with the average price climbing 2.9 percent. Sales of prepared foods also increased, while pork sales fell slightly.

Tyson said that there was more demand for chicken and beef products during the quarter. The company said that demand for pork also improved, which helped to raise the average sales price and livestock cost, but that there was a slight rise in live hog supplies.

The Springdale, Ark., company maintained its forecast for 2013 revenue of approximately $34.5 billion.

Treading fine sand to accomplish your goals How bad do you want to accomplish something? I mean a deep down gut level drive to see something through? About a month ago, my wife and I were in Saugatuck, Mich.

We love hiking and last time we were there we went to Saugatuck Dunes State Park and hiked a path to Lake Michigan. This time, though, we decided to take a longer route, which was about 1.3 miles to the lake.

And while there were some spots along the way that were easily handled, most of the trail was dunes sand, which is very fine sand and our path was pretty much all up hill.

To say the least, it was a very rigorous trek for something we thought, based on a previous experience, was going to be relatively easy.

Dan Waldschmidt writes in his Edgy Conversations blog of June 27, titled “You Can’t Climb Higher than You’re Willing to Crawl”: “There comes a time in life when you realize how hard it is to achieve what you want for yourself. Regardless of your aspirations, your skills, or the unique environment that you think

CHAMBER NEWS Gary Reece only you live in, you will come to a point where you realize that it’s a lot harder than you thought it would be. You know that you’re a little weaker than you hoped you would be. You know that the obstacle in front of you is a little bigger then you’re comfortable with.”

I used the story of the struggle to the lake because starting and running a business is like that. Many times you’re treading fine sand in an upward battle to accomplish whatever goals you’ve set. The sand fills back in before you even move your foot and it seems you are barely getting anywhere.

Fourteen years ago this week I started a business, built it up to a fairly successful level and was gunning for even more growth. Frankly, I thought I was pretty smart at the game – that was until early 2008 came around. In very short order,

I found out just how much we had to dig down, to let good people go, to learn new skills and re-sharpen old ones. We entered new markets I never thought we would need to just in order to survive. Honestly, on occasion I had some doubts. But, I never ever gave up hope. Hopelessly entrepreneurial, I am. Today, our business is a much different business than it was just a few short years ago.

G.J. Hart, the president and CEO of California Pizza Kitchen, developed a “6 Steps to Leadership”. Two of those six are: • “Be the very best that you can be, because you can’t lead anybody if you can’t lead yourself. So you have to be honest with yourself about your good qualities, your bad qualities and the things you need to work on.”

• “Dream and dream big. What’s the world of possibilities for yourself and for your organization? You have to be able to say, ‘Here’s where I want to get to.’ It’s not that you’ll ever necessarily get there, but if you

don’t dream, you’ll never even get started.”

Fast forward to today. While I never ever take anything for granted, I know I’m a much better leader because of what we experienced.

We survived with a new focus and energy. We’ve hired new people and yes, we’re even growing again. Kind of feels good after a good old-fashion smackdown.

Dan Waldschmidt’s ends his post with a truism about the climb. “And tomorrow will find you further ahead than where you are right now. Closer to where you want to be. The crawl you’ve come to hate has really been a climb all along.”

In other works, upon reaching to the crest of the dunes on our hike, unfolding before us was the beauty of the lake.

Cider hobby turns in business after layoff

By GARRET ELLISON The Grand Rapids Press

AP file photo

Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr (left) speaks at a news conference in Detroit as Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, who appointed Orr, listens.

Navigating municipal bonds after Detroit’s bankruptcy The Associated Press NEW YORK – When Detroit became the biggest city in U.S. history to file for bankruptcy last month, it turned public attention to the municipalbond market, where cities and states go to borrow money.

Was this sleepy, often-overlooked area of the financial world actually dangerous?

Like other cities, Detroit borrowed from investors to pay for roads, sewer lines and an array of other projects.

Now Detroit says it can’t afford to pay bond investors all of their money back.

Even if you don’t own any muni bonds, it’s important to understand what they are and how they work. They’re what your city uses to keep itself running, but it can be tough to cut through the jargon and heated claims surrounding Detroit’s bankruptcy. To help, here’s a look at the nuts and bolts of what finance types call munis: who owns them, how they work and just what they are, anyway.

What are municipal bonds, exactly?

Cities, states, towns and other local governments sell municipal bonds to raise money for school renovations, sports stadiums or other projects. A fire district might need a few hundred thousand dollars for a new truck; a state might need a few billion to build highways and hospitals.

When investors buy a muni bond, they’re lending to a local government. In return, they get a regular interest payment and the promise of all their money back at the end of the bond’s life. That could be one year later or as many as three decades later.

Have local governments borrowed a lot?

The total amount of municipal debt outstanding is $3.72 trillion, according to the Federal Reserve’s latest report.

That may sound enormous, but it’s less than a fifth of the total $21.7 trillion U.S. bond market. Corporations have borrowed more money, owing $5.9 trillion to bondholders.

And the federal government has more publicly traded debt than both groups put together:

$11.9 trillion.

For the sake of comparison, the value of the entire U.S. stock market is $18.7 trillion, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices.

What’s the appeal?

It’s mainly the tax-free income. The federal government taxes interest payments from savings accounts, corporate bonds and other investments, but doesn’t touch income from muni bonds. To somebody in the top tax bracket, a New York State bond paying 3 percent is equal to a corporate bond paying 4.97 percent.

Who owns them?

They’re mainly held by individuals, who buy them outright or through mutual funds. Individuals hold 44 percent of all munis, and mutual funds have another 25 percent, according to the Fed. Banks and insurance companies own much of the rest.

Buying municipal bonds directly tends to be the province of wealthy people who have the most to gain from the tax exemption.

What kind of return can you expect?

When there’s little risk, there’s little reward. Thanks to their solid credit history, municipalities pay very low rates to borrow money.

A type of muni called a “general obligation” bond is considered especially safe.

They’re backed by a city’s full faith and credit, which essentially means a city will take extreme steps to repay them – even if it has to cut police and fire protection for its citizens or raise taxes.

The average yield on a toprated, 10-year general-obligation muni bond is 2.71 percent, according to Thomson Reuters data. For a 30-year muni, it’s 4.22 percent.

That’s a bit more than the payout on U.S. government debt, and the tax break makes the benefit bigger for investors. The 10-year Treasury note yields 2.62 percent. The 30-year bond yields 3.70 percent.

What’s going on in Detroit?

Detroit owes billions to bondholders and billions

more in pensions to retired city workers. In its bankruptcy filing, the city proposed trimming pension benefits and paying bondholders a fraction of what they’re owed.

It also wants to treat retired city workers and bond investors as equals.

Both groups plan to fight the city’s proposal, for very different reasons. The retirees argue that Michigan’s state constitution protects their pensions. Investors who hold the city’s general-obligation bonds expect not only to rank first in the lineup of creditors but also to be paid in full.

Laws often require local governments to pay bondholders before they pay anybody else.

Government borrowers generally stick to their promised interest payments as long as residents keep paying taxes. Even when trouble strikes, bondholders usually get all their money back. In 1994, for example, the bankruptcy of Orange County, Calif., shook financial markets, raising fears that bond investors would spurn local government borrowers. But Orange County’s bondholders eventually got all of their money back, according to the rating agency Moody’s.

One of Detroit’s problems, though, is that its population and property values have plunged, shrinking the city’s tax base.

Bond investors worry that if Detroit manages to pay them less than the full amount they’re owed, it would set a precedent for other cities to follow.

“This fight could last for years,” said Richard Larkin, director of research at Herbert J. Sims & Co. “Bond investors ain’t going to sit back quietly.”

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.

– It took losing his job at the unemployment office to move The Peoples Cider out of Jason Lummen’s kitchen and onto tap handles around town.

Lummen, 33, is busy these days pursing his dream of making and selling craft hard apple cider, a drink surging in sales around not just West Michigan, but across the entire country, according to The Grand Rapids Press.

His product is being carried by area several bars, which have been making space in recent months for the “drink of presidents” – a libation enjoying a renaissance due, in part, to changing tastes sparked by the rising popularity of craft beer.

“I’ve been making cider for 10 years and this has been a pretty active dream for the last five,” said Lummen, a married father who operates the only urban cidery in Grand Rapids.

In May, Lummen moved the small business – the cider world equivalent of a homebrewing craft beer operation – into a rented production space in the Oak Industrial Park in Grand Rapids.

Although he’d been incorporated since 2011, Lummen wasn’t able to devote the necessary time toward the entrepreneurial effort until he was laid off from his cubicle job at the Michigan’s Unemployment Insurance Agency last September.

With time to tinker, Lummen scraped together the money to purchase 10 50-gallon fermentation tanks and a winemaker’s license. This spring, he lucked into the production facility already prepped for a brewery operation that fell through.

“That’s what made this whole dream a reality.”

Lummen said cider, perhaps more than any other fermented beverage, truly encompasses the taste of West

Michigan due to the region’s might in apple growing and processing.

The first 1,000-gallon batch out of the new facility has been rotating through six locations around West Michigan.

Lummen self-distributes (allowed for winemakers as an exception to the state’s three-tier alcohol regulation system) in kegs. A bottling line could be on the horizon, he said.

Will it affect me?

Probably not, unless you worked for the city of Detroit or own its bonds.

Even if you blindly stashed most of your savings in munibond funds, it’s unlikely that you loaned much to Detroit.

Mutual funds tracked by the investor service Morningstar have $2.5 billion in bonds tied to the city. That’s 0.003 percent of their muni-bond holdings, according to the Fed.

Ryan Seacrest to host new NBC game show THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Tuesday, August 6, 2013 • PlanitNorthwest.com/buzz

50 Cent pleads not guilty Rapper and actor 50 Cent stood silently before a judge Monday as his attorney entered his plea of not guilty to domestic violence and vandalism charges involving an ex-girlfriend who is the mother of his child.

The performer, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, was given a long list of instructions by Superior Court Judge Bernard J. Kamins, who told him to stay away from Daphne Narvarez and forbid him from contacting her by phone or email.

He also was told not to possess any weapons or try to dissuade witnesses from coming to court.

The 37-year-old “In Da Club” singer was ordered to return to court Sept. 4 for a pretrial hearing.

Jackson was charged after Narvarez reported he had trashed her Toluca Lake condo and kicked her during an argument. Police said property worth $7,100 was destroyed.

Outside court, defense attorney Scott Leemon said his client denies the allegations.

Narvarez told police that during a June 23 argument, Jackson began destroying property at her Toluca Lake condo before she locked herself in a bedroom. She also said Jackson kicked open the bedroom door and kicked her, causing injury.

Police said Jackson was gone when they arrived, and they saw broken items including chandeliers, furniture and a television.

Narvarez said she had a three-year relationship with Jackson.

He was charged with domestic violence and four counts of vandalism.

If convicted, he could be sentenced to up to five years behind bars and $46,000 in fines

NBC says Ryan Seacrest will host “The Million Second Quiz,” a new live game show the network hopes will become event programming for two weeks in September.

The network said Monday it is constructing a giant hourglass-shaped structure in Manhattan for the game, which will involve contestants testing their trivia skills over a million seconds, or 11 days, 13 hours, 46 minutes and 40 seconds. A contestant leading the game earns $10 a second for sitting in the “money chair,” with a potential payoff of millions of dollars.

The show will air for six straight nights starting Sept. 9, then return for four nights starting Sept. 16.

10 stranded as L.A. Transformers ride stops It was a heart-stopping moment on the Transformers 3D thrill ride, but don’t blame the Decepticons.

Authorities say the motion simulator ride at Universal Studios Hollywood stopped unexpectedly Monday, temporarily stranding 10 passengers.

Los Angeles County fire officials say

The passengers were safely evacuated, and nobody was hurt. It’s unclear what caused the malfunction, but Universal says the ride will be inspected as a precaution. It will be rebooted and should resume later in the day.

Kanye to perform at MTV Video Music Awards Kanye West will perform at the MTV Video Music Awards this month.

MTV announced Monday the rapper will perform his single “Black Skinhead” at the Aug. 25 awards show. West’s performance will be his seventh at the VMAs. He will tie Madonna for the most performances at the awards show. Lady Gaga also will perform at the event, which will air live from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Elton recovering after having appendix out Elton John is recovering after an operation to remove his appendix.

The musician’s publicist says John had the surgery last week at Princess Grace Hospital in Monaco, near his home in the south of France.

Last month, the musician canceled a series of shows as he was treated for an inflamed appendix and surrounding abscess. He said at the time his infected appendix had been “a ticking time bomb.”

He was treated with antibiotics, and his publicist said Monday the appendix has been removed.

In a statement on his official website last week, John said the many get-well cards and messages he’d received from fans “have touched me deeply.”

MCHENRY COUNTY HURRICANES BASEBALL

Hurricanes to merge with Pro Player

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com McHenry County Hurricanes vice president Keith Nisenson always has held the work Pro Players Consultants instructors do with young baseball players in the highest regard.

So Nisenson and other Hurricanes board members were more than eager when talks started this summer with Pro Player owner Randy Smith and his staff about a possible merger.

Pro Player, an indoor faJosh Peckler for Shaw Media cility in McHenry, has drawn McHenry County Hurricanes 13U’s Brandon Bannon watches his foul many of the area’s top playball during the second inning Sunday of a semifinal game against Se- ers, ages 15 through 18, for its lect Baseball Gold in the MCYSA International Championships at Lip- travel teams in recent years.

The Hurricanes, who started pold Park in Crystal Lake.

in 1983, is the county’s oldest travel program and one of its best.

The merger, both sides say, made perfect sense.

For the 2014 season, the Pro Player Canes will field teams from ages 9 through 18.

They will wear Pro Player’s colors (green and orange), which also happen to be those of some other famous Hurricanes, from the University of Miami (Fla.).

“It’s a great opportunity to merge the best of two programs,” Nisenson said.

“You’ve got the best instructional facility in the area with a high-level travel team for 15s through 18s. They do it very well. They bring a level of exposure to us from their

older teams that will help take us to the next level and get more boys more college exposure.”

Mick Matsie, a Pro Player instructor and assistant coach at Huntley High School, said discussions moved quickly this summer once they were started.

“We saw it was a good fit and a need for both organizations,” Matsie said. “Our goal when we sat down with the Hurricanes was to make one strong, unified program for the county. We want to give players an opportunity where they don’t have to go somewhere else.”

Matsie hopes Pro Player might retain some of the McHenry County players who

travel outside the county to play with higher-profile travel programs.

“When I first heard about this, I was ecstatic,” Matsie said. “I’ve always wanted to make Pro Player into a bigger name. I want us to be a big player in travel baseball in Illinois. I want players to get what they want in the county.”

Pro Player started in 2001 in Woodstock and later moved to McHenry.

It has fielded travel teams for several years, but only from ages 15 through 18. Nisenson thinks the Canes might field two teams at the higher age levels next year, while having teams for each age level 9 through 14.

VIEWS Rick Morrissey

Rodriguez won’t grasp idea he lost

RETURN CUT SHORT

It takes a certain part of the male anatomy, made of brass, to do what Alex Rodriguez did Monday.

In the face of compelling evidence that he’s a lying, cheating sack of used syringes, he sat at a pregame news conference at U.S. Cellular Field and asked everyone to take part in a kind of group oblivion. ‘‘I hope that for one moment, with this appeal process, we have an opportunity to talk about the greatest game in the world, to take a little bit of a timeout from this and give the fans of baseball an opportunity to focus on all the great stories that are happening in baseball right now,’’ he said.

Well, bravo. You can’t teach that sort of gall. It helps explain how A-Rod could fight Major League Baseball’s decision to suspend him through the 2014 season for allegedly using performance-enhancing drugs and obstructing its investigation.

And it helps explain how, with a nation staring at him, he could decide it was a great idea to put on a Yankees uniform Monday and face the White Sox. Think about that. Even though he knew he had been busted for his part in the Biogenesis scandal, the thought bubble above his head seemed to read, ‘‘Just watch: Fans will come running back to me.’’

Yes, but for reasons he might not fully grasp.

We need nefarious creatures such as Rodriguez, people we can roll our eyes at, vent our frustration at, shake our fist at.

Everything in Bryan Bulaga’s world was pointing up.

Bulaga’s left hip was healed and medical personnel assured him he should not experience long-term effects. He and Abbie Mumpower, whom he has dated since they were students at Iowa, were just married last month in Milwaukee.

And Bulaga was moving from right tackle to left tackle for the Green Bay Packers this season, which happens to be his contract year.

Bulaga certainly has never come off as greedy, but left tackle is a glamour position when it’s time to get paid, so heading into his second professional contract, the timing of the move was ideal for him.

Then, the bad news hit. Bulaga suffered a knee injury in Saturday’s Family Night scrimmage.

While he did not leave the field

PREP ZONE Joe Stevenson during the scrimmage, reports Monday indicated he likely will miss the season.

The 2007 Marian Central graduate, who grew up in Crystal Lake, was seeking a second opinion from renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews. Joe Bulaga, Bryan’s father, said MRI results were sent to Andrews. But members of the Packers’ medical staff diagnosed an ACL tear.

Bulaga’s most serious injury before this came last season when he suffered a small fracture in his left hip in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Bulaga, now 24, was able to re-

cover without surgery, but missed the rest of the season.

The Packers were not saying a lot Monday, although coach Mike McCarthy is scheduled to speak Tuesday.

Bulaga was excited about getting back to full strength and the Packers were moving him and right guard Josh Sitton, who have played together for three season, both to the left side.

Last winter on a visit to Crystal Lake, Bulaga talked about his first extended period away from football because of an injury.

“I’ve been nicked up, but never had to sit out a season,” he said in January. “This is new for me to start nine games and then watch the remainder from the sideline.

It’s tough.”

BEARS

Secondary tested against tall receivers

By ADAM L. JAHNS Chicago Sun-Times BOURBONNAIS — The Bears’ defensive backs are under attack.

They’re dealing with receivers’ long, outstretched arms. Their agility and quickness to box out. Their leaping ability and speed.

They’re getting a good idea during training camp of what the Bears’ new-look offense wants to do to opponents: get after them relentlessly with three big receivers in Brandon Marshall (6-foot-4, 230 pounds) and Alshon Jeffery (6-3, 216) and tight end Martellus Bennett (6-6, 265).

Few teams can throw that many big and mobile targets at a defense at one time. Or as veteran defensive back Kelvin Hayden put it, “We’ve got some trees out there.”

And those “trees” play with an edge, an aggressive bravado that can be infuriating. Take all the scrums with Bennett last week as an example. “[Bennett’s] a guy that’s maybe 6-4, 6-5. Me being 5-11,

AP photo

Bears safety Chris Conte (47) misses a catch during Thursday’s practice in Bourbonnais. there’s a disadvantage right there,” said Hayden, who tussled with Bennett last week.

“There’s going to be mismatches come this season.”

Coach Marc Trestman calls his offense one “that’s got to get the right matchups.” Numerous formations, personnel groupings and plenty of motion will be used to get that for Marshall, Jeffery and Bennett.

Trestman will force nickel backs, safeties and linebackers

to guard them.

“If I’m on the other side of the ball, it’s more about technique than anything else,” Trestman said. “Your techniques have to be perfect to cover a guy like that, and then it’s about a contested throw, getting a hand in and running through him and getting the things done that you have to do fundamentally to get it done.”

The Bears’ defensive backs look at their new situation as a

positive. Tillman has had success against some big, top-tier receivers, such as the Detroit Lions’ Calvin Johnson, but now every defensive back is getting daily work covering players bigger than them. Bennett’s arrival is key. The Bears weren’t able to get the same looks with tight end Kellen Davis last season.

The Bears will face some big receivers and tight ends – the Cincinnati Bengals’ A.J. Green (6-4, 207) and New Orleans Saints’ Jimmy Graham (6-7, 265 pounds), for example – early this season.

“Having it in practice is the best thing ever because you know what you’re getting every day,” Wright said. “We definitely have size at every position.

“Every team has big guys, [but] it’s not like a shocker [because] we go against it every day in practice. We know we’ll already be prepared for it.”

1

Along with the Bears first preseason game comes the season’s first game release and “unofficial” depth chart. Unofficial is the operative word but still, it represents how they should line up at Carolina, and it does have changes from the last offseason chart. Most notably Eben Britton is now the No. 2 right tackle competing with J’Marcus Webb. He was listed at guard during OTA’s and mini camp. Britton played both positions in Jacksonville but was definitely more effective at tackle. The depth chart also lists James Brown and Kyle Long as co-starters at right guard even though Brown has commanded more first team reps.

Joe Anderson and Earl Bennett are listed as the No. 2 receivers behind Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffrey, and ahead of Devin Aromashodu, Marquess Wilson and Eric Weems. As reported here last week, Anderson is almost a lock for a roster spot.

Brandon Hardin and Tom Zbikowski are the third and fourth strong safeties behind Anthony Walters and Craig Steltz, and both are long shots to survive the final cut.

Linebacker Lance Briggs runs during a play at the second day of training camp July 27 in Bourbonnais.

BEARS ANALYSIS

Old 55 says ‘D’ still difference Long before the double nickels belonged to Lance Briggs, another Bears Pro Bowl linebacker wore the number 55, “Mama’s Boy” Otis Wilson.

Unlike Briggs, Wilson boasts a Super Bowl title on his resume, and he believes the current 55 and his defensive teammates are the key to the Bears winning another one.

The old 55 has been catching up with these new Bears quite a bit lately, watching their Fan Night practice Saturday at Soldier Field and then joining them at their next practice back in Bourbonnais.

He told me he’s heard a lot of good things about new coach Marc Trestman from Hall of Famer Steve Young, among others, as an excellent offensive minded coach but that he’s always believed “offenses win games, but defenses win championships.”

Wilson knows how important the offense has become around the league. Looking at the challenge Trestman faces, Wilson said, “Lovie

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush [Smith] had a real hold on these guys and it was almost like a father-son relationship.

Now a lot of guys are older and change is hard so I’m just hoping they put some good offense out there [to help the defense].”

Everyone knows how critical Jay Cutler will be to the success of this team. But looking at this Bears defense and how crucial it is to the Bears’ Super Bowl hopes, Wilson believes its new quarterback, Lance Briggs, and how he replaces Brian Urlacher could be the biggest key to the Bears season.

“It’s going to be very hard for Lance because you have to get a lot more into the gameplan, you have to really understand the schemes of what you’re running and what the offense is running [against you],” Wilson said.

“I was fortunate enough that I had a coach on the field,

[Mike] Singletary and he was doing that and he took a lot of the pressure off of people. Now Briggs has to become a thinker as opposed to a player and that can hurt you a little bit, but I think they’ll simplify the plan, try and let him attack people and he should be fine.”

As for the end of the Urlacher era, Wilson believes it’s all about the money.

“This is a funny business where you always want to go out on your own terms but 90% of the time it doesn’t happen because of the money,” Wilson said. “It’s hard to replace Brian, not just his talent but the aura of him, having his presence on the field. I’m waiting to see how this defense reacts.”

After eight seasons with the Bears, Wilson missed the 1988 season because of injury and then tried to play with the Raiders in ‘89. He played in one game before he was forced to retire. He was younger than Briggs, Julius Peppers and Charles Tillman are now when he was forced to hang up his pads. Does he worry about what Father Time

might do to this defense?

“Oh there’s no question about it, it can go quickly, especially in this physical game. Peppers, Tillman and Lance are the heart and soul of this team and with the new regime it’s tough,” Wilson said. “Physically now you want your body to act like a 25 - year old and we know that’s not going to happen. You’re more susceptible to injury and the more you work out, the more wear and tear. ...”

Still, Wilson is really excited about the season and the new regime. While there is plenty to worry about, he likes what he sees in new defensive coordinator Mel Tucker trying to do with “his guys” and he believes Trestman can give the defense the support it needs to win another title.

After all he says “One Championship every 25 or 30 years shouldn’t be enough, it isn’t that hard to do. It’s time we win another one.”

BOURBONNAIS — Mother Nature forced the Bears to call audibles for the second practice in four days, but coach Marc Trestman was pleased with how things went coming off a rest day.

“I thought the players did a good job today of handling change again and handling the off day,” Trestman told reporters in the rain. “We were better today in practice after an off day than we were a week ago after the off day.

The energy was very good.”

The Bears pushed Monday’s practice up four hours with inclement weather expected to hit in the afternoon, but rain soaked the final minutes of practice in front of a small crowd.

In the first set of team drills of practice, one of the stars of camp, cornerback Isaiah Frey, picked off a Jay Cutler pass intended for Martellus Bennett, who had slipped on the play.

“He made a play. Whether another player fell down or not he made another play today,” Trestman said about the 2012 sixth-round pick.

“He’s shown up each and every day and certainly with Kelvin [Hayden] down now and being week to week his ability to play nickel and play the corner and be part of the mix in finding the best group of DBs and corners that we can, it’s going to be very important.”

Blind Side return: Left tackle Jermon Bushrod returned to

full pads. He only participated in team drills, and Trestman said Bushrod will have to be at 100 percent to play in Carolina on Friday.

“It’s about easing myself back in and trying to get myself into shape like I was before,” said Bushrod. “It’s just about taking it one day at a time.”

Infirmary Report: Julius Peppers took a rest day on Monday – he experienced tightness in his hamstring Saturday. Earl Bennett sat out for “rest and evaluation,” as Trestman said, for a possible concussion.

Stephen Paea had tightness in his hip and did not partake in team drills. Jonathan Scott (knee) returned to practice, while D.J. Williams went back to wearing a boot for his injured calf.

Bostic improving: Rookie middle linebacker Jon Bostic received praise on a run he made in team drills. Defensive coordinator Mel Tucker said Bostic is getting “better and better every day” as he takes over for the injured Williams.

“I think he’s playing faster,” Tucker said. “His alignments are better, just more detailed, more precise in what he’s doing.”

Quick hits: Josh McCown connected with Terrence Toliver a couple times in practice, once for an impressive back-shoulder touchdown. … Shea McClellin blew up a reverse play in the backfield and had another nice spin move around J’Marcus Webb in pass rush drills.

Bulaga was going to protect Rodgers’ blind side • BULAGA Continued from page C1 Bulaga also realized how precious each year in football can be after watching longtime veteran linemates Mark Tauscher and Chad Clifton retire in the past two years.

When Bulaga was drafted in 2010, the Packers figured he’d fill Clifton’s spot at left tackle.

Clifton, however, reconsidered and returned to football and

Bulaga took over five games into his rookie season.

“You kind of know this game doesn’t last forever,” Bulaga said. “There’s only so much your body can take after so many years of pounding from high school to the pro level. It’s all about ‘How you can keep your body healthy as long as possible?’ ” Bulaga (6-foot-5, 314 pounds) has become one of the NFL’s top tackles and would have been ready for another chal-

lenge protecting quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ blind side this season. Now, that appears to be on hold for another year, while either David Bakhtiari and Marshall Newhouse handle the job this season.

Football players know injuries are part of the deal.

It’s just frustrating for Bulaga that he just came off one and was hit with another. Especially when he could have been so integral for a Super Bowl contender.

He has age on his side and will have almost a year to have his knee fixed and rehabilitated for training camp in 2014.

With all that sitting around though, that year is going to seem longer.

Chicago Sun-Times CHICAGO – Alfonso Soriano was used to the New York Yankees’ frenzied world, but the bizarre atmosphere Monday on the ex-Cub’s first trip back to Chicago was unprecedented.

Soriano shared thoughts about his time with the Cubs and his affection for the team, but he kept coming back to the player two stalls away in the visitors’ clubhouse at U.S. Cellular Field.

Soriano wouldn’t talk directly about Alex Rodriguez, for whom he was traded from the Yankees to the Texans Rangers in 2004.

But he did talk about feeling ‘‘upset’’ with the continuing problem of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball. ‘‘I’m very upset and not happy with the people who try to do something wrong in baseball,’’ said Soriano, who was traded from the Cubs on July 26. ‘‘I only know about myself, so I don’t like to talk too much about [others].’’

In his first week with the Yankees, Soriano said he didn’t notice players being ‘‘distracted’’ by the Rodriguez story. ‘‘I see everybody concentrating on the job, and I’m concentrating on my team,’’ he said. ‘‘I think everyone feels the same way.’’

Soriano, who went 0 for 4 in the Yankees’ 8-1 loss to the White Sox on Monday, said he wasn’t surprised by the names of the suspended

Former Cubs outfielder Alfonso Soriano, shown July 21 against the Colorado Rockies, made his return to Chicago on Monday when the New York Yankees faced the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field.

Next for the Sox N.Y. Yankees at Sox, 7 p.m. Tuesday, WGN, AM-720 players as much as the fact that players keep trying to cheat the system. ‘‘They know that if Major League Baseball puts in that rule, they can’t keep trying,’’ he said. ‘‘If you try to do something wrong, sooner or later they’ll get you. That’s my point. ‘‘We like to compete, but compete clean. A lot of guys have [so] much talent, and they don’t know it. I think they don’t have to do something wrong because God gives you the talent, so don’t try to be a super hero. Just play with the talent God gave you and see what happens.’’

The man who signed the biggest contract in Cubs

history said he hopes he will be remembered in Chicago for how he worked, often through painful injuries, to try to ‘‘bring a championship to the city.

I tried to be better and get the team to the World Series.’’

He embraced the idea of returning to the organization after his playing days, if he’s asked. ‘‘Why not?’’ he said. ‘‘If it’s perfect timing for me and not taking time away from my family and I can work with young kids, it’s OK with me. Especially those young kids. If I can help them, I would because what is happening now with these [suspended] players, I don’t want to happen to young kids who have a future in the big leagues.’’

A-Rod singles, Sox knock off Yankees CHICAGO – Alex Rodriguez blooped a single in his first at-bat of the season hours after being hit with a long suspension, but that was it for the embattled slugger as the White Sox snapped a 10-game losing streak with an 8-1 win Monday night over the struggling New York Yankees.

The crowd at U.S. Cellular Field booed the three-time MVP during pregame warmups and introductions.

When he stepped to the plate in the second inning for his first at-bat of the season, they could have drowned out a jet.

Rodriguez was suspended through 2014 by Major League Baseball in the Biogenesis case, a punishment he is appealing.

Alex Rios drove in four runs, Alexei Ramirez added four hits and Jose Quintana (6-3) pitched into the seventh for the Sox.

A LOOK AT THE PLAYERS SUSPENDED BY MLB ON MONDAY Antonio Bastardo, left-handed pitcher, Philadelphia Phillies, 50 games: At times in his career, the 27-year-old has been a very effective reliever. He is 3-2 with two saves and a 2.32 ERA this season, and the hard thrower averages more than a strikeout per inning. Salary lost: $382,514.

Everth Cabrera, shortstop, San Diego Padres, 50 games: A switch-hitter who is one of the top base stealers in the big leagues, Cabrera is making $1,275,000 this season. He was the lone All-Star from the struggling Padres, but didn’t get into the game. Cabrera said during spring training that he was “a little surprised” and “disappointed” that his name reportedly was listed in Biogenesis records, but otherwise declined specific comment. Salary lost: $348,361.

Francisco Cervelli, catcher, New York Yankees, 50 games: On the disabled list since breaking his right hand when it was hit by a foul ball April 26, Cervelli has said he consulted with Biogenesis after a foot injury in 2011 but did not receive any treatment from the facility. He insisted a recommendation to visit the clinic did not come from an agent or another player and that he never spoke with Alex Rodriguez about the clinic. Salary lost: $140,806.

Diego on Feb. 6. Optioned to Triple-A Tucson (PCL). Salary lost: $1,473.

being placed on the disabled list April 13 with a strained left elbow. He was released on May 8.

Sergio Escalona, left-handed pitcher, Houston Astros, assigned to Double-A Corpus Christi, 50 games: Escalona was the winning pitcher in his major league debut, throwing a scoreless inning for Philadelphia in 2009.

He made 49 relief appearances for the Astros in 2011, going 2-1 with a 2.93 ERA. Escalona missed the entire 2012 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery and returned this year, going 1-2 with a 6.60 ERA in 12 minor league games. Salary lost: $11,700.

Jhonny Peralta, shortstop, Detroit Tigers, 50 games: The 31-year-old Peralta made his second All-Star team this year, and his absence will make things tougher for the Tigers as they try to outlast Cleveland and win their third straight AL Central title. Detroit acquired infielder Jose Iglesias from Boston in a three-team deal shortly before the trade deadline to bolster its chances in case Peralta was suspended. Peralta is set to become a free agent at the end of the season. He is batting .305 with 11 home runs and 54 RBIs. Salary lost: $1,639,344.

Fernando Martinez, outfielder, with Houston Astros at time of violation, now New York Yankees, assigned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, 50 games: The 24-year-old has a .206 batting average, nine homers and 29 RBIs in 99 major league games over five seasons with the New York Mets (200911) and Astros (2012-13). Sent outright to the minors in May, he was traded to the Yankees in June for minor league right-hander Charles Basford. Salary lost: $24,642.

Nelson Cruz, right fielder, Texas Rangers, 50 games: The 2011 AL championship series MVP, Cruz had never previously been linked to performance-ending drugs. After his name showed up in the Miami New Times report on Biogenesis of America, attorneys for Cruz issued a statement that read, “To the extent these allegations and inferences refer to Nelson, they are denied.” When Cruz reported to spring training in February he said it was “shocking” and “depressing” to see his name connected with Biogenesis.

Even with the lingering questions, he became an All-Star for the second time last month. Cruz, who turned 33 July 1, is eligible for free agency after this season.

He leads second-place Texas with 27 homers and 76 RBIs this year. Salary lost: $2,732,240.

Jesus Montero, designated hitter and catcher, Seattle Mariners, on option to Triple-A Tacoma, 50 games: The 23-year-old Montero was acquired

by Seattle before the 2012 season in a trade that sent right-hander Michael Pineda to the Yankees. Montero was considered one of the top prospects in baseball after a brief stint with New York at the end of 2011. He got off to a solid start in Seattle last year, hitting .260 with 15 homers and 62 RBIs. The Mariners were hoping he could take over as the team’s full-time catcher this season, but that never materialized.

After he was linked to Biogenesis in the offseason, Montero was not in the shape the Mariners wanted when he arrived at spring training. He played in 29 games before being demoted to the minors in late May and had barely settled in at Tacoma when he suffered a left knee injury that required surgery.

He recently rejoined Tacoma after a short stint in the Arizona Rookie League.

Salary lost: $79,820.

Fautino De Los Santos, right-handed pitcher, San Diego Padres, assigned to Double-A San Antonio, 50 games: The 27-year-old was 3-2 with a 4.32 ERA in 34 relief appearances for Oakland in 2011 and didn’t have a decision while compiling a 3.00 ERA in six appearances last year, when he spent most of the season in the minors. He was traded to Milwaukee on July 29 last year, then claimed off waivers by San

Jordan Norberto, left-handed pitcher, Oakland Athletics at time of violation, now free agent, 50 games: The 27-year-old has a 4-3 record with a 4.00 ERA in 78 games with Arizona (2010) and Oakland (2011-12). He started spring training with Oakland and was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on March 29. He appeared in three games for the River Cats, allowing six runs and walking seven in 1⅓ innings before

Cesar Puello, outfielder, New York Mets, on option to Double-A Binghamton, 50 games: The 22-yearold has been in the Mets’ minor league system since 2008. Considered a top prospect, he has been on the 40-man roster since November 2011 but has not made his major league debut. He is hitting .328 with 16 homers, 73 RBIs and 24 steals this season at Binghamton.

Salary lost: $21,831.

Alex Rodriguez, third baseman, New York Yankees, 211 games (through 2014 season): The American League Most Valuable Player in 2003, 2005 and 2007, Rodriguez had hip surgery Jan. 16.

On the verge of returning to the Yankees last month, he was diagnosed with a strained left quadriceps July 21 that sidelined him for two more weeks. He was finally set to rejoin the team Monday after a pair of minor league rehab assignments. Rodriguez’s suspension takes effect Thursday, but the 38-yearold slugger said he will appeal. That would keep him eligible to play until a decision by the arbitrator, which is not expected until the offseason. Salary lost: $30 million to $33 million, if suspension lasts the full 211 games.

Jordany Valdespin, second baseman and outfielder, New York Mets, on option to Triple-A Las Vegas, 50 games: The 25-year-old Valdespin reached the majors last year and quickly showed power off the bench with a penchant for pinch-hit homers. But he’s also irked teammates and opponents with his flashy antics on and off the field. Unpopular in the clubhouse, he was hitting .188 with four home runs and 16 RBIs in 133 at-bats when he was demoted to Las Vegas last month. He’s batting .466 with three homers and 24 RBIs in 16 games at Triple-A. Salary lost: $61,773.

Country suffering from steroid fatigue • MORRISSEY Continued from page C1 Someone with a narcissism that allows us to say: ‘‘At least I’m not like that tragically screwed-up person.

Now stop bothering me and let me enjoy his antics.’’

Someone such as Anthony Weiner. You might have thought the former U.S. representative would have gone away after his 2011 sexting scandal.

But here he is, running for mayor of New York, despite recent admissions he continued sexting after resigning from Congress. And a nation is having trouble looking away. Someone such as Lindsay Lohan. Or Justin Bieber, who looks like a train wreck in its early stages.

I’m expecting word of A-Rod signing a book deal any moment now. Is ‘‘Despicable Me’’ already spoken for

as a title?

A-Rod is not normal, grounded or innocent. If he were, he wouldn’t have played a baseball game when the evidence suggests he’s busted. If he were, the Cell wouldn’t have been mobbed with media people. If he were, fans wouldn’t have booed him at every turn, especially after he singled in his first at-bat.

The country is suffering from steroid fatigue. Sports fans are tired of hearing about performance-enhancing drugs. Leagues suspend players, players come back to play after their suspensions are over and everybody shrugs. Time to move on.

But this is different. This is a guy whose ego won’t let him grasp the idea he has lost. This is a villain who thinks he’s dressed in white.

Has there been a greater discrepancy between what one person thinks of himself

and what society as a whole thinks of him in return?

Rodriguez is so ridiculously disconnected from reality that it would take a Kardashian asking for privacy to top him.

It’s difficult to assign any bigger meaning to the mess Rodriguez finds himself in and the lengths to which he’ll go to pretend it all has been a misunderstanding.

That PEDs are taking down the national pastime? Don’t think so. In terms of attendance, the previous nine seasons were the best in MLB history, according to Forbes magazine.

No, there’s only one big-picture, societal sticker that fits here: A dastardly ballplayer is feeding a public need.

Cubs claim OF Neal off waivers from Yankees

Ng: IOC using ‘quiet diplomacy’ with Russia

CHICAGO – The Cubs have claimed outfielder Thomas Neal off waivers from the New York Yankees and transferred pitcher Rafael Dolis to the 60-day disabled list.

Neal hit .325 with two home runs and 29 RBIs in 72 games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He had his contract selected by the Yankees on June 14 and played in four games with the Yankees in two big league stints, collecting two hits in 11 at-bats. He was designated for assignment on Friday.

Dolis has been on the disabled list since June 1 because of a strained right forearm.

LONDON – IOC presidential candidate Ng Ser Miang says the Olympic body is engaged in “quiet diplomacy” with Russian leaders to make sure next year’s Winter Games in Sochi are not affected by the country’s new anti-gay legislation.

Ng, an IOC vice president from Singapore, said the International Olympic Committee is in talks with “the highest authority” in Russia to avert any problems for athletes and visitors.

He predicts there will be a “good solution” and the issue will be resolved “to the satisfaction of all.”

Ng says Russia has invested heavily in the Sochi Olympics and will

want to make sure the games are a success. He said calls for a boycott are “misplaced.”

Issues for Manziel cloud camp

By KRISTIE RIEKEN The Associated Press

Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com

Offensive lineman Ryan Brown and the rest of the Northern Illinois football team stretch Monday during the start of the first practice at Huskie Stadium.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS

Transition to Carey smooth

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Part of the reason Rod Carey was named Northern Illinois’ 22nd coach Dec. 2 is because former NIU athletic director Jeff Compher thought he would bring consistency and stability to the program.

Monday afternoon, Carey ran his first preseason practice at Huskie Stadium.

A lot has changed since last August, with Carey being just one example. Senior quarterback Jordan Lynch, an unknown player nationally last year, is now a star. At each of NIU’s five home games this year, the Orange Bowl banner will hang near the Yordon Center.

But to the players, the transition from one coach to another has gone as smooth as they could have hoped. There were minor changes to Monday’s

practice, but Monday wasn’t much different from when NIU took the field for the first time a season ago.

“I can’t say a lot has changed. The program, we’re going to work hard regardless,” junior safety Dechane Durante said. “... The motto is still hard work, we still Rod Carey come out and do the same thing every day.

Preparation’s the same. It’s just new faces and new positions.

“As far as players, we still come out here and prepare the same way.”

To Durante, there couldn’t have been a better change when it came to the coach.

Dave Doeren, who went 23-4 in two seasons, left for North Carolina State after the team’s Mid-American Conference

Championship win, and Carey, who had been NIU’s offensive coordinator, stepped right in.

“I think the transition to coach Carey was the best transition we could’ve had,” Durante said. “Somebody who’s a familiar face being here. So it definitely helped the transition.”

Carey is still looking for his first win. He has a career record of 0-1 after losing 31-10 to Florida State in the Orange Bowl on New Year’s Day. Last winter, Carey wanted to turn the page, and didn’t even want his players wearing Orange Bowl gear to workouts.

Right now, everyone’s been focusing on the season opener, which, offensive tackle Tyler Loos said, hasn’t been too hard.

“Our main focus is Iowa, and that’s all that matters right now is to be 1-0,” Loos said.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Johnny Football is practicing with Texas A&M. Whether he starts the season opener is another question.

Coach Kevin Sumlin on Monday said he would not speculate when asked if Johnny Manziel will be his starter Aug. 31 against Rice after an ESPN report that the NCAA is investigating whether the Heisman Trophy winner was paid for signing hundreds of autographs last January.

“There’s a lot of people involved in that decision,” Sumlin said without being specific.

If Manziel was paid for his autograph on memorabilia, it could potentially violate NCAA amateurism rules and put his eligibility in question a year after his jaw-dropping performance on the field made him the first freshman to win the Heisman as college football’s top player.

Speaking to the media as the team began preseason practices, Sumlin said he learned of the ESPN report Sunday.

For now, Manziel will lead the Aggies. But his coach is clearly thinking of backups, too.

“He’ll get as many reps as he was going to get yesterday,” Sumlin said of Manziel, before adding: “We’ve got to develop a backup quarterback no matter what.”

The report is just the latest in a string of off-the-field distractions caused by Manziel.

He’s made headlines for

The NCAA is investigating whether Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel was paid for signing hundreds of autographs in January.

Citing unidentified sources, ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” said the Heisman Trophy winner signed items in exchange for a five-figure fee during his trip to Miami for the BCS championship game. tweeting that he “can’t wait to leave College Station,” despite having three years of eligibility remaining, he allegedly overslept at a football camp run by the Manning family and was supposedly kicked out of a University of Texas fraternity party in the past couple of months.

The 20-year-old sophomore calmly answered question after question at SEC media days last month, acknowledging his eventful offseason and indicating he needed to make better decisions because he’s such a public figure.

“I don’t feel like I’ve done anything that’s catastrophic,” Manziel said then. “Of course, I’ve made my mistakes. It’s time to grow up.”

Last week, Manziel tweeted: “I ain’t perfect, I ain’t insane but I AM worth it ... if

Date: Thursday, September 19, 2013 Time: 11:30 - 1:30 pm Location: Crystal Lake Country Club Price: $35

there’s one thing I am worth it.”

The antics have overshadowed what is expected to be a banner year for Texas A&M. The Aggies are coming off an 11-2 record in their first season in the SEC after moving from the Big 12, a year highlighted by Manziel leading Texas A&M to an upset win at No. 1 Alabama. The rematch in College Station is Sept. 14.

But instead of answering questions about his expectations for the season, Sumlin was left to respond to question after question about Manziel.

“I’ve been through different things,” Sumlin said. “As a coach, when those things happen, it’s not what happens to you, it’s how you deal with it. We’ve got a veteran staff that knows how to deal with different situations.”

O

h, those boring school days of old. Basic backpacks, plain pencil cases, spirals and staplers with so little snap they might as well have been destined for mom or dad’s office.

Today’s school supplies are packed with personality, and kids have an imaginative array of gear to choose from as they prep for the start of a new year.

Backpacks come in a variety of sizes to fit different toting needs and capabilities. And forget the simple brown paper bag: Lunch containers

are an expanding category, with everything from insulated sacks to kits with lidded compartments. The range is so stylish and user-savvy that kids just might find mom or dad wanting to share.

In the early years of self-discovery, it’s fun to find different ways to say, “This is me!” Kids will find that easy this year. There are lace and damask designs, camouflage and brick-wall patterns, animal prints, sequins or pastels. Super hero, video game, and music and TV star images hit the pop culture button.

OFF TO CLASS At Pottery Barn Kids, the backpacks range in size from mini to rolling, so you don’t have to worry about your preschooler heading off with a refrigerator-size tote on his back, and the fifth graders with giant science texts can roll their volumes comfortably back and forth.

Patterns range from butterflies, horses, and owls in hip hues such as plum and chocolate to dinosaur-skeleton and snakeskin prints in browns, grays and blues. (www.pbkids.com ) Kohl’s has backpacks for fall that aim to appeal to kids from elementary through high school.

“Backpacks are a fashionable and functional way for students to express their personality and show off their style,” said Sofia Wacksman, Kohl’s vice president for trend. “Bright colors and bold prints are a big trend this back-toschool season.”

Girls might like the colored leopard print, boho floral, and fun graphic hearts patterns. Plaids, moustaches, leaf prints and skulls (above) round out the range. (www.kohls.com ) A collection of rolling backpacks in

fun animal designs such as pandas (left), frogs and pigs are at ebags.com. The retailer’s also got a line of appropriately sized, colorful preschoolers’ packs from 03 USA that have handy integrated lunch coolers. Designs include soccer balls, motorcycles and space shuttles. The Bookworm backpack, also small, has a reflective panel for low light conditions, and a waterproof layer along the bottom. (www.ebags.com ) How many backpacks have disappeared in your kids’ school career? Never lose another with one of Café Press’s customizable tags (below). The company partnered with Snapily last fall to create the tags with lenticular printing – that 3-D, animated effect.

You can upload your own photos for a personalized tag, or use the company’s geometric, tree or paisley designs. (www. cafepress.com)

LUNCH AND SNACK TIME The traditional Japanese bento-box lunch kit has found its way to our shores in a big way. Parents like that they’re reusable, and kids like that the little compartments neatly hold a variety of snacks. Japanese maker Shinzi Katoh makes some of the best ones – space robot, forest, circus and Paddington Bear designs are featured on tiered, non-toxic boxes. They also make a clever lunchbox that unzips into a tidy placemat: Choose a cow, cat or dog design. (www.mysweetmuffin.com ) Pottery Barn Kids has a cute collection of mix-and-match themed lunchboxes, sacks, water bottles and backpacks.

Land of Nod’s got Skip Hop’s cute-as-a-button Feeding Time lunch bags for the preschool set, in ladybug, owl or dog patterns. They come with Pack right a clip that attaches to a child’s backpack.

Simple and delicious (www.landofnod.com ) brown bag lunches Target has some cute lunch kits with keep kids happy. cheetah or owl faces, and a colorful line Wednesday in Taste of lunch sacks and snack and sandwich sleeves from Built NY that might mean sharesies with brown-bagging parents.

WORK TIME For the classroom, Target’s houndstooth, plaid and metallic dot binders hit the unisex pattern trends head on. Blinged-out scissors and staplers, and fun pencil cases shaped like flip flops or printed in colorful lace patterns have a girly vibe. At PB Teen, plaid, chevron, patchwork and tie-dye patterns add zing to the pencil case and homework holder collection. (www.pbteen.com) Got a sports-loving girl in the house? She can show her competitive spirit with one of Café Press’ “swim,” “dance,” “field hockey” or “soccer” journals (above right). Dog lovers might like a journal photoprinted with unusual breeds like shar peis, basenjis and greyhounds.

Colorful national flags, including those of England (above left), France, Italy, Cuba and Canada, emblazon a spiral notebook collection at Zazzle.com, which also has fun clip chains shaped like basketballs, softballs or volleyballs. They can be personalized to help young athletes keep track of their stuff. (www.zazzle.com )

Sending children to bed early can take effort at summer’s end

By MELISSA RAYWORTH The Associated Press

Lori Cain - Statesman Journal

Children unload off the bus at Eugene Field Elementary School in Silverton, Ore., for their first day back to school. According to the experts, parents need to start weeks in advance to adjust their children’s bedtimes back to a school-year schedule as soon as August arrives.

Parents, you can already picture those first mornings of the school year: the challenge of dragging cranky kids out of their beds at dawn after two months of mellow summer mornings.

Each year, many of us swear we’ll do it differently.

We will listen to the experts.

We will adjust our children’s bedtimes back to a schoolyear schedule as soon as August arrives. We will work with biology, not against it, by dimming the lights and drawing the curtains in the evenings. We will remember the power of a good bedtime routine.

It does sound wonderful.

But each year, many families embrace the spontaneity of summer and the long, light evenings, ditching routines and enjoying late nights

with the kids. Or maybe we really do try to get them to bed early, but Little League baseball games run late and vacations to other time zones make it impossible.

Then we try to get our kids up early for the first day of school and their bodies naturally rebel. It’s never easy to be “waking up at the time you’re biologically ready to be asleep,” said Dr. Peter Franzen, child sleep expert and assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh’s Sleep Medicine Institute.

Lack of sleep can affect kids’ ability to learn, to remember and to handle emotions, he says.

So here are some tips for getting them back to a sensible bedtime: Begin adjusting bedtime at least two weeks before classes begin, said family sleep counselor Dana Oble-

man, founder of the Sleep Sense system for getting babies and toddlers to sleep well.

“You don’t have to jump into going to bed at 7:30 and being really strict,” she said. “But do an evaluation of where the bedtime has been falling and move back toward that by about 15 minutes every third night.”

(Of course, if you’ve altered your kids’ bedtime by more than an hour, you’ll need to make those changes in larger increments.)

For young kids, the most effective routine includes a warm bath and reading a favorite book. Skip television, which has a stimulating effect.

With older children, Obleman suggests having a sit-down meeting two weeks before school begins.

Fundraisers think outside the box

• SLEEP

Schools find success with alternatives from scavenger hunts to trash bags

Discuss the importance of being rested during the first weeks of school.

Plan a solid bedtime routine together, making sure they understand how much sleep is necessary. Children, from toddlers to adolescents, need 10 to 12 hours of solid nighttime sleep, Obleman says. Teens are likely to need at least 9 hours.

“People say, ‘If my child got eight hours, that’s adequate.’ And it might be adequate,” Obleman says. “But you want to be giving them great, awesome restful sleep at night.”

Once you’ve chosen a bedtime, agree to turn off electronic screens one hour earlier, because the light from these devices signals our bodies to stay awake, Franzen says. Kids already have a harder time getting sleepy at night as they reach their teen years due to changes in their body chemistry, he says. Looking at the light of electronic devices only delays that response further.

A regular bedtime routine triggers a child’s natural urge to sleep, and also creates treasured memories of quiet moments with mom and dad, notes Lorraine Breffni, director of early childhood at Nova Southeastern University’s Mailman Segal Center for Human Development, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. “Those routines can be very personal family rituals – a certain snack that you eat, a certain book you read, a certain song that you sing,” she says.

For adolescents and teens, Breffni, says, keep in mind that the time they “go to bed” may not be close to the time they actually fall asleep. So make sure older students understand what time they should actually be asleep.

“One of my cornerstones is that if children are going to bed early enough, there shouldn’t be a need to wake them in the morning,” Obleman said. “If you’re dragging them by the ankle every morning, they’re going to bed too late.”

On the last mornings before school starts, you might even induce the kids to get up early by taking them out to breakfast at their favorite restaurants.

One final step, which can be especially tough on parents: Ideally, the whole family should go to bed early on those final nights. It may be hard to give up the late night hours you’re accustomed to, but going to sleep earlier will benefit you as well as your kids.

“We’re seeing an epidemic of sleep deprivation” among adults, Franzen says. “We’re certainly not modeling appropriate behavior for our kids.”

These experts say adults really do need eight hours of sleep per night, though many of us get as little as five or six.

So even if you won’t kick back into an early bedtime routine until the night before school begins this year, says Breffni, make this the year you prioritize sleep for the whole family.

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

They don’t laugh anymore.

Hendrickson, principal of St. Ann Interparochial School in Morganfield, Ky., says the school makes $20,000 a year selling garbage bags.

And it’s not just parents of the school’s 230 students who buy them.

Local businesses and government offices in Morganfield – population 3,500 – buy garbage bags from the school, as well.

“Nobody needs candy,” Hendrickson said. “But trash bags – that’s something everybody needs.”

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

Bed sheets and greenraising But others, like Hendrickson, are experimenting with sales of unusual products. The garbage bags were such a hit that when a company called Amadora approached Hendrickson about selling bed sheets, she gave it a try.

The first year, the school sold about $16,000 worth of sheets to fund new classroom technology. Last year, sheet sales dropped to $9,000 – after all, how many sheets do families at one small school need? – but the company introduced new prints this year, so Hendrickson’s giving it another go.

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

Direct donations Some schools have done away with catalog sales altogether, instead asking parents to make direct donations. Alison Oleson, former president of the Sleepy Hollow PTA in Falls Church, Va., said with both parents working in so many families, people just don’t have time “to go out and get their kids to sell things. And schools can’t get the volunteers to sit there and sort the wrapping paper and candy when it comes in.”

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

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

“I like that because it has sentimental value,” Oleson said.

Online platforms Some parent organizations now accept donations online. But that involves third-party sites

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

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

For example, PayPal takes a 2.2 percentage fee for donations to registered charities, plus a 30cent transaction fee, so if a parent donates $100, the PTA gets $97.50.

Razoo.com charges 4.9 percent, so the PTA only gets $95.10 from $100, but Razoo also provides easily customized websites, social media integration, video thank-yous and email confirmations for tax-deductible donations. Melissa PansziRiebe, former PTA president of Burroughs Community School in Minneapolis, said Razoo helped the school raise $90,000 by making it easy for the 800 kids to send out invitations and thank-yous for read-a-thon pledges.

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

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

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

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

Sudden drop in sex drive Help is plentiful for military merits trip to the doctor veterans going back to school Dear Dr. K: I’m a woman in my 50s. I’ve always had a healthy sex drive, but lately it’s gone bye-bye. What could be wrong?

Dear Reader: There aren’t a lot of people with a take-itor-leave-it attitude about sex.

We are sexual creatures, and for most of our lives, we are well aware of having sexual desire. So when you notice it’s just not there, it is upsetting.

Many women report a loss of sexual desire. One huge survey of women in different countries found more than 30 percent of women report this problem, to the point it causes them distress. Loss of desire is most frequent among women in the 45-65 age group, and then tapers off after age 65.

There are many reasons for a decline in a person’s sex drive, some physical and some psychological. A decline in the production of estrogen with menopause is one reason, and most U.S. women enter menopause in their early 50s. The “male” hormones, androgens, also are made by women, in lower amounts. They are important in generating sexual desire.

A substantial fraction of female androgens are made by the ovaries. While female androgen levels remain relatively constant after meno-

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff pause, removal of the ovaries (surgical menopause) can cause testosterone, the main type of androgen, to drop, and with it, sexual desire.

While sexual desire declines somewhat in women after menopause, a sudden drop for no good reason merits a trip to your doctor.

He or she will look for physical causes to explain your diminished sex drive. Many chronic medical conditions can impinge on desire. So, too, can treatments for these conditions. Low libido also may stem from chronic pain that causes discomfort during intercourse. A common cause of such pain is the condition called endometriosis.

If there are no obvious physical causes to address, your doctor will explore your attitudes and feelings about sex. For example, has your relationship with your partner changed recently? Your doctor also will ask about depression, self-image, stress and fatigue.

If there may be a psychological or relationship issue, one option is sex therapy.

The therapist may suggest both you and your significant

other participate. You will be encouraged to explore any negative feelings that may surround sex. Relationshipbuilding exercises may be recommended to increase trust, communication and sensual awareness. You also may be taught stress-reduction techniques.

Medical treatments also are available. One option is hormone treatment with testosterone. As testosterone levels decline with age, a woman’s sexual interest and responsiveness also may drop off.

Another medical option is bupropion. This antidepressant may increase sexual desire and arousal even if you don’t have depression. It also can counter the negative sexual side effects of other antidepressant medications.

Finally, an experimental drug called flibanserin appears to boost female sexual desire. However, it has not been FDA-approved to treat low libido in women.

Most of my female patients who have experienced distressing lack of sexual desire have been helped by one of more of these treatments.

Dear Abby: This letter is for “Torn in Milford, Conn.” (May 16). I returned to college after 20 years of active duty and know firsthand how difficult the transition can be. Most universities have a veterans’ service office where he might be able to connect with students with similar backgrounds and experiences to his. There also should be chapters of the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars where he can meet others.

I was fortunate the university I attended (at age 45) had a dorm floor specifically for “nontraditional” students like me. In classes, I was able to make friends because my unique experiences enabled me to connect to the material in ways younger students could not, and by sharing those connections, people got to know me. Starting over – starting something new – is always difficult, but no education is ever wasted.

If he does want to explore a career in security, “Torn” should take a part-time job while attending school to help cover expenses; universities always need highly skilled employees, and university towns are filled with venues that require such skills. That be-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips ing said, a diploma will get him further in his future.

– Nontraditional Student, Ekalaka, Mont.

Dear Nontraditional Student: Thank you for sharing your personal experience. Your support and encouragement for “Torn” to complete his college education was endorsed by many other vets and college professors, who find vets to be great students: Dear Abby: I’m concerned there may be more going on with “Torn” than just he/ she doesn’t fit in with peers in school. Being a combat vet and feeling disconnected from peers or having a desire to return to what they knew before (security work) is a sign of PTSD. Missing work is often “code” for survivor’s guilt. (“If I could go back and make it right, perhaps my buddy would be here, or I would be with my buddy.”)

There are services available for vets suffering from PTSD if they recognize the need to reach out for them.

Also, if this vet is using his/her educational benefits, then the chances of there being a training plan

to help in readjustment is likely. – Vet Who Made It

Through Dear Abby: I am a longtime college professor.

Many bright students, young and old, have similar complaints. “Torn,” you sound like a great student, as many vets are. Try evening classes. They’re usually available to any enrolled student and are the same courses taught in day sections. Students enrolled in these classes are mostly working adults who are more dedicated.

See if your college has online courses, so you won’t have to deal with the students in person, although you may have to take part in online discussions. Check out your college’s career services office and find a part-time job. This will give you a different peer group, plus give you some experience in your field.

Your college’s veterans’ office also may have helpful resources for you.

I hope these ideas will help your college experience to be more pleasant and productive. – Dr. M. In

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - Conditions in general could make you unusually restless in the year ahead. However, if you put your mind to it, you could find numerous new ways to successfully channel your energies and ambitions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A new endeavor could turn out to have much more potential than even you thought. Give promising opportunities your full attention.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You happen to be in an excellent achievement cycle, so the last thing you should be worrying about is getting things done.

Obstacles facing you will be easily circumvented.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- There are strong indications that you might form a new alliance with someone whose interests and ideas merge especially well with yours. This will be a propitious pairing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Instead of just thinking about making some changes that you believe could be advantageous, go ahead and make them. Your instincts will point you in the right direction.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If you’re in need of a special favor, go to a friend instead of a co-worker. The former is likely to help; the latter might resent it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Impressive strides can be made where your work-related objectives are concerned. However, this will only happen if you elevate your sights and shoot for the moon.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You should be very effective when reorganizing things that require a special touch. Instinctively, you’ll know what needs fixing.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Although you might have to scout around, there are strong chances that you will arrange something that could produce higher wages for yourself and a colleague.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Don’t treat your new ideas lightly or put them on the back burner. For some reason, they’re likely to work better at this particular time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Usually, it isn’t smart to depend too heavily on a hunch, especially when it involves your work, yet today could be an exception.

Be sure to use all of your assets.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your chart indicates there is good justification for optimism where your work is concerned. It happens to be one of those days when you can achieve anything.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you’re working on something that you believe has social and commercial potential, do your best to bring many people into the process.

Edward R. Murrow is a central character in the World War II book “Citizens of London” by Lynne Olson (Random House). Murrow said, “The speed of communications is wondrous to behold. It is also true that speed can multiply the distribution of information that we know to be untrue.”

At the bridge table, since cards are hidden, distribution information can be uncertain. Players must try to allow for as many as possible.

This deal is an example.

South was in four hearts.

How did he play after West surprisingly led the spade three and East dropped the king under dummy’s ace?

North and South were using two-over-one gameforcing, so three hearts was forcing. South signed off in four hearts because he had a minimum opening bid.

At trick two, declarer led a heart to his ace. When West dropped the 10, South wondered if this was a singleton or from a doubleton queen-10 or 10-nine.

Rather than decide immediately, declarer led his diamond queen. West won with her ace and played another

spade. East took the trick with his queen and returned a diamond.

Now South had an almost sure thing. He carefully played a heart to his king.

Here, the queen dropped, so he drew the last trump and claimed an overtrick. But if West had discarded, South would have played on clubs, discarding spades and holding East to one trump trick.

Note that if South had inessed his heart jack at trick ive, he would have failed, because West would have won the trick and led a spade, East overrufing dummy’s heart eight with his nine.
