referendum to voters asking whether the board chairman should be popularly elected.

The announcement was made Tuesday morning by board Chairwoman Tina Hill, R-Woodstock, at the start of the Committee of the Whole

meeting in which members finished a review of 49 proposed changes to the rules under which the board operates.

Committee Chairman Paula Yensen, D-Lake in the Hills, said after Tuesday’s meeting that she is confident the com-

mittee will adopt a resolution for a referendum to the full County Board. The County Board now elects the chairman to a two-year term from among its 24 members after

It was also revealed that the committee that proposed the changes will revisit a referendum to make the board chairman popularly elected.

The County Board is set to vote on the changes at its morning meeting Sept. 3.

Improving routes for bicyclists

By DONNA CASSATA The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The Justice Department has filed the first criminal charges in the deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, two U.S. officials said Tuesday.

The officials confirmed that a sealed indictment was filed in U.S. District Court in Washington against an unspecified number of individuals in the September 2012 attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. One official said those charged included Ahmed Abu Khattala, the head of a Libyan militia. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity.

Earlier, CNN, NBC News and The Wall Street Journal reported that unspecified counts had been filed and sealed in the Benghazi attack.

“The department’s investigation is ongoing. It has been, and remains, a top priority,” said Justice Department spokesman Andrew C. Ames, who declined to comment further.

A key Republican urged the administration to do more than file charges.

“Osama bin Laden had been criminally charged long before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks but was not apprehended,” Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said in a statement. U.S. Navy SEALs killed bin Laden in Pakistan on May 2, 2011. “Delays in apprehending the suspected Benghazi killers,” Issa added, “will only put American lives at further and needless risk.”

The Crystal Lake resident was making his commute via bicycle, as he does most weekdays, regardless of heat or cloudy skies.

As a devoted cyclist and president of the McHenry

County Bicycle Advocates, Veit has a wish list for changes he’d like to see when it comes to improving bicycling access, such as rumble strips that don’t make shoulders unusable and an improved route connecting Woodstock and Crystal Lake.

But it’s not just enthusiasts who are pushing for more accommodations for bicyclists and pedestrians.

Owners must be vigilant to keep pets safe The caller on the other end of the line on Friday clearly was upset, his voice catching to stifle sobs.

As a fellow pet owner, I soon understood why Bob Jones of McHenry had been crying.

His beloved 8-pound miniature pinscher, Shadow, had died two days earlier when a neighbor’s dogs got loose and attacked him in Jones’ backyard.

The dogs’ owner was ticketed by McHenry County Animal Control and he paid the fines to retrieve his dogs.

He also decided to euthanize the older of the animals, according to Animal Control, which continues to investigate the incident.

These days, the dangers posed to our pets are many and varied. And the smaller the animal, the more hazards there seem to be.

Last week, we received a forwarded neighborhood alert about a small

8LOTTERY

VIEWS Joan Oliver dog in Lakewood that was killed by a coyote in broad daylight.

And we had a letter to the editor about a dog that was struck by a car in Cary after it escaped the grasp of its owners to chase a cat.

Of course, accidents do happen.

Sometimes our pets get loose despite all our precautions. And sometimes we can’t move fast enough to stop a tragedy from happening.

However, we all must do what we can to keep our pets under control and safe. That means knowing what the dangers are and taking preventive steps.

Unfortunately, though, tragedies

still can happen even in the backyard.

••• Back to the drawing board: I was disappointed to hear that Illinois State Fire Marshal Larry Matkaitis has withdrawn his proposed update of Illinois’ fire safety code. In part, the plan called for requiring fire sprinklers in new construction.

Perhaps, as critics contend, Matkaitis was going about it the wrong way by circumventing the Legislature and updating the state fire code.

However, it sure sounds like the forces who opposed this measure did their level best to put out misleading information about the costs of installing sprinkler systems.

And that’s a shame.

••• Bright start to reading: Kudos to the Algonquin Area Public Library for its 1,001 Books Before Kindergarten

program, which will celebrate its first graduation Thursday morning.

The program began seven months ago as a way to encourage parents and preschool-age children to start the habit of reading as soon as possible.

Children earn prizes for every 100 books they have read to them.

When the program began, 164 children signed up in the first week.

Today, 370 children have enrolled.

Sharing a love of reading is one of the best gifts a parent can give to a child because it opens up a world of possibilities.

Here’s to the program’s first 10 “graduates” for a job well done.

Study disputes link between combat and suicide

By LINDSEY TANNER The Associated Press CHICAGO – Combat appears to have little or no influence on suicide rates among U.S. troops and veterans, according to a military study that challenges the conventional thinking about war’s effects on the psyche.

Depression and other types of mental illness, alcohol problems and being male – strong risk factors for suicide among civilians – were all linked to self-inflicted deaths among current and former members of the military.

But the researchers found deployment and combat did not raise the risk.

“The findings from this study are not consistent with the assumption that specific

deployment-related characteristics, such as length of deployment, number of deployments, or combat experiences, are directly associated” with suicides, the authors wrote.

The results echo smaller studies focusing on a specific branch of the military, but this is the first to look at a sampling from the entire military population, said lead author Cynthia LeardMann, a researcher with the Naval Health Research Center in San Diego.

More than 145,000 people from all branches took part, including active-duty service members, reservists and retirees, and they were followed from 2001 to 2008, a period in which the U.S. waged wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The findings were published Tues-

day in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

A recent increase in the military suicide rate has raised concerns about a possible link between suicide and combat, including long or repeated tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. But the new study should lay those concerns to rest, said Dr. Nancy Crum-Cianflone, another researcher with the Navy center.

She is leading a larger study on the health effects of serving in the military. The newly released findings are based on a subset of participants in that study.

The 2001-08 study looked at a small portion of the thousands of suicides among active-duty service members and veterans during that time.

There were 78 suicides

WHISPERING POINT OPHTHALMOLOGY Maureen Richards MD Joseph Kappil MD

among the study participants, or an average of almost 12 per 100,000 people followed for one year. The rate was about two times higher among men and people with depression, and a little higher than that among those with alcohol problems.

But it was four times higher among those with bipolar disorder.

Pentagon data show there were 349 suicides last year alone among active-duty troops, the most since 2001.

Crum-Cianflone said the military suicide rate climbed sharply between 2005 and 2009, to about 20 per 100,000 people followed for one year. At the same time, there was an increase in the number of people with mental illness in the military. The reason for that is unclear, the study authors said.

Decision on same-sex marriage lawsuit next month

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – After hearing nearly two hours of arguments, a Cook County judge said Tuesday she’ll decide whether to dismiss a lawsuit challenging Illinois’ gay marriage ban late next month.

The lawsuit involves 25 same-sex couples who filed for marriage licenses in Cook County and were denied. Attorneys for the couples – from Lambda Legal and the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois – have said that the state’s same-sex marriage ban, approved in 1996, violates the state’s constitution due process and equality clauses.

“They seek access to their birthright,” Camilla Taylor, marriage project director for the legal advocacy group

Lambda Legal, told Circuit Judge Sophia Hall.

However, an attorney representing downstate county clerks defending the same-sex marriage ban said gay couples in Illinois have many of the same rights as heterosexual ones, partly because Illinois allowed civil unions in 2011.

The state’s ban defines marriage as between a man and a woman.

Hall said she would make her decision on the motion to dismiss the case on Sept. 27.

Illinois’ court battle to allow gay marriage – which has been going on simultaneously as the fight at the State Capitol – has been complicated. Those who usually defend the state’s laws opted out of defending the ban after lawsuits representing the couples were filed in May 2012. The lawsuits were

later consolidated into one.

Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez and Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, who offered up legal analysis, said the 17-year ban violates Illinois’ constitution in that the law doesn’t equally protect gay couples, among other things. Even Cook County Clerk David Orr, who is named in the lawsuit, has said all along he’s in favor of samesex marriage, but his office couldn’t issue the marriage licenses under law. Orr’s attorney also spoke against the ban in court Tuesday.

After Alvarez decided not to defend the state law, county clerks from downstate intervened. They’ve been represented by attorneys from the Thomas Moore Society, a Chicago-based public interest law firm.

Sept. hearing set in Rush says he did not pressure ex-Metra CEO lawmaker pay suit

By JASON KEYSER

The Associated Press

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press CHICAGO – Arguments in a lawsuit over Gov. Pat Quinn’s decision to cut legislators’ pay will have a hearing in mid-September, meaning lawmakers could miss another paycheck if they don’t agree on a solution for Illinois’ pension crisis.

Cook County Circuit Judge Neil H. Cohen said Tuesday oral arguments will be presented Sept. 18 for the lawsuit filed by Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton.

They’re trying to force Quinn and Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka to issue paychecks.

Last month, Quinn cut $13.8 million for legislators’ pay from the state budget after threatening there’d be consequences if they didn’t address the state’s nearly $100 billion unfunded pension liability.

Madigan and Cullerton filed their lawsuit last week.

In a motion for a preliminary injunction filed Monday, they called Quinn’s actions “a coercive misuse of the line-item veto” and said allowing it would set a bad precedent.

“In this case ... what is at stake is the very independence of the legislature, a co-

equal branch of government, and the preservation of the separation of powers,” the motion states.

The motion asks the court to decide if Quinn’s line-item veto really did fully eliminate lawmakers’ salaries. If not, the leaders argue, Topinka should be required to pay those salaries. As an alternative, if the judge upholds Quinn’s amendatory veto, the motion asks the court to rule Quinn’s action unconstitutional and to order Topinka to pay lawmakers’ salaries.

Topinka, who is named as a defendant in the suit, has said she had no choice but to withhold lawmaker paychecks, citing a previous court case.

Quinn attended Tuesday’s hearing and said afterward that his move was constitutional and the outcome of the lawsuit would be a “landmark” case.

Lawmakers could override Quinn’s veto with a threefifths vote in both chambers.

But Quinn, a Chicago Democrat, said after the hearing that he’d prefer to see them find a solution for the pension crisis, which he called “a cloud over our economy.”

“The best way to settle the case in this matter is for the Legislature to start moving on pension reform,” Quinn said.

CHICAGO – U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush said Tuesday that he didn’t engage in improper dealings with officials at the Metra commuter rail agency over a massive construction project on Chicago’s South Side.

The recently ousted head of Metra, one of the largest rail agencies the nation, has said he was forced to step down for resisting pressure from several politicians in personnel and contract decisions and named Rush in a memo detailing his allegations. The memo

came to light during investigations into why Alex Clifford was given a severance package that could total as much as $718,000, a buyout that lawmakers and others have criticized as “hush money” and a waste of public funds.

“At no time did I persuade, pressure, push, urge or steer Clifford or any other Metra official to hire anyone,” Rush told reporters at a news conference in front of a construction site for part of the $93 million rail project known as the Englewood Flyover.

Clifford’s allegations of political pressure have triggered an inquiry by lawmak-

ers and investigations by the state inspector general and the state Legislature’s ethics committee. His memo also names one of Illinois’ most powerful politicians, House Speaker Michael Madigan, who denies wrongdoing.

The turmoil has become such a distraction that U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois on Tuesday pressed federal transportation authorities to step in and provide oversight to ensure the rail service continues to operate safely.

Rush, a Democrat whose district includes the largely black neighborhood of Englewood, had organized protests

of the original Englewood Flyover contract because few African-American owned businesses were hired to work on it, even though it met federal requirements for the hiring of minority-owned companies.

During negotiations with community groups, the general contractor agreed to hire more black companies. Metra was not part of those talks.

Clifford contends that a Metra board member arranged with Rush for the agency to pay $50,000 to an organization of the congressman’s choosing to monitor compliance with that separate agreement.

8STATE BRIEFS Illinois cigarette tax rises 150 percent in July

Chicago police seize 4,200 illegal firearms

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois’ cigarette tax revenue more than doubled in July compared to the same period last year, state officials said.

July revenue reached $30 million, up from $12 million in July 2012, according to data released Monday by the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability.

The increase is being attributed to last year’s $1-per-pack tax increase that was approved by the Legislature, the State Journal-Register reported.

State revenue manager Jim Muschinske said most of the money from that tax hike hasn’t shown up until now because many distributors stocked up on cigarette stamps – which must be affixed to packages before retailers can sell them – when the tax rate was lower.

CHICAGO – Chicago’s police superintendent says more than 4,200 illegal firearms have been seized by his department so far this year.

Garry McCarthy said the results are because of citywide violence reduction measures that have been implemented to enhance public safety.

McCarthy said police can’t act alone, and is calling for the state to enact stronger gun laws.

McCarthy said Chicago police recover more illegal guns than officers in any city in the country. Yet, he says, without a state law requiring real jail time for criminals carrying illegal guns, offenders can quickly be back on the street. He wants a three-year mandatory minimum sentence for illegal gun possession in Illinois.

Fort Hood gunman meticulously planned attack The ASSOCIATED PRESS FORT HOOD, Texas – Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan fired the last of 146 bullets in his assault on Fort Hood, then walked outside where he met two civilians who asked about the commotion and the laser-sighted pistol in his hand.

Hasan told one person not to worry. He assured the other it was just a training exercise

and the gun shot only paint. He let both live.

But moments earlier, dozens of uniformed soldiers received no quarter from Hasan, military prosecutors said Tuesday as the Army psychiatrist’s long-delayed trial began.

Hasan, who admits to killing 13 people and wounding 32 others in the 2009 attack, matter-of-factly told a jury of 13 officers that he was the gunman.

“The evidence will clearly show that I am the shooter,” he said, calmly delivering an opening statement that lasted Nidal Hasan little more than a minute. His only utterance of regret was toward his religion for being among the “imperfect Muslims trying to establish the

perfect religion.”

“I apologize for any mistakes I made in this endeavor,” said Hasan, an American-born 42-year-old who was paralyzed after being shot by officers responding to the attack.

Hasan planned the assault for months, prosecutor Col. Steve Henricks said, describing how Hasan stockpiled bullets, practiced at a shooting range and bought an extend-

er kit so his pistol could hold more bullets.

If convicted, Hasan faces the death penalty. No American soldier has been executed since 1961, and military prosecutors showed right from their opening statements that they will take no chance of fumbling details that could jeopardize any conviction down the line.

They described a calculating Hasan, armed with two

handguns and carrying paper towels in his pants pockets to conceal the sounds of rattling ammunition as he walked through a deployment-readiness center on the sprawling base.

“He came to believe he had a jihad duty to murder his fellow soldiers,” Henricks said, adding that Hasan researched Taliban leaders’ call to wage holy war.

Rising tax revenue eases pressure for cuts

U.S. embassy closures gives a window into threat concern

By MATTHEW LEE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The map of closed American embassies – and those that remain open – in the Middle East and Africa provides a window into the Obama administration’s concern about a potentially imminent al-Qaida terrorist attack on overseas U.S. interests.

While diplomatic missions across a broad swath of the Arab world are affected, some, including in capitals that have been targets for extremists in the past, are not. And those chosen for closure in Africa and the Indian Ocean suggest that the fear may be as much about the vulnerability of certain embassies and staff and the range of increasingly mobile terrorists as it is about specific threats.

One apparently key factor: How significant is the security that is now in place?

A total of 19 U.S. embassies

and consulates in 16 countries have been ordered to close to the public until Saturday.

They run along a jagged, eastto-south crescent from Libya through the Persian Gulf to Rwanda and include the island nations of Madagascar and Mauritius. That’s fewer missions in fewer nations than were ordered closed this past Sunday in the administration’s initial response to intelligence that al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula was gearing up for an attack.

The changes, coupled with the inclusions and omissions, show how the threat analysis has evolved.

According to the State Department, the closures are all the result of the same intelligence on the threat. Yet, that intelligence stream appears to be significantly diffuse, covering embassies and other posts stretching 4,800 miles from Tripoli, Libya, to Port Louis, Mauritius, and not limited to

Muslim or Muslim-majority nations.

“It is the same stream that we’ve referenced in travel warnings since Sunday,” department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Tuesday, adding: “Obviously, there’s new information.” She would not elaborate.

Clearly, Yemen, where the department ordered most U.S. government employees to leave early Tuesday, is at the center. The base of Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, Yemen has been the subject of a dire and continuous U.S. travel warning since 2002.

An intercepted secret message between al-Qaida chief Ayman al-Zawahri and his deputy in Yemen about plans for a major terror attack triggered the closures. Al-Zawahri’s message to Nasser al-Wahishi was picked up several weeks ago and appeared to initially target Yemen, according to officials familiar with the matter.

WASHINGTON – The Pentagon moved Tuesday to ease the pain of mandatory, unpaid furloughs that civilian employees have had to bear for a month because of budgetary pressures, cutting the number of days off from 11 to six.

Defense officials said the Pentagon found sufficient savings in the final months of the current fiscal year to lessen the burden on those who have had to take a day off a week without pay since early July. As a result, the final furlough day for most workers will be next week.

Altogether, officials said they were able to identify about $1.5 billion in new savings. About $1 billion of that was used to buy back the five furlough days and another $500 million is being used to restore money for Air Force training and flight hours, along with training for about six

President Obama pitches mortgage overhaul PHOENIX – Buoyed by an improving housing market, President Barack Obama on Tuesday proposed a broad overhaul of the nation’s mortgage finance system, including winding down government-backed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. He declared that taxpayers should never again be left “holding the bag” for the mortgage giants’ bad bets.

Obama outlined his proposals in Phoenix, the once foreclosure-riddled city at the epicenter of the nation’s housing crisis.

The housing market in Phoenix, as well as in many other parts of the country, has rebounded robustly, with prices in the southwestern city up 66 percent from the low point in 2011.

Your Health. Your smile.

WASHINGTON – Rising tax receipts are shrinking the federal deficit, and that will shape the budget debate when Congress returns from vacation next month. The big question for lawmakers: Should they renew, end or modify the tens of billions of dollars in “sequester” cuts in government spending that took effect earlier this year?

Tax revenue through June was up 14 percent from a year earlier, and that trend is expected to continue. New figures for July are due out next week, and for August on Sept.

12. That’s just three days after lawmakers return to face threats by some conservatives of a government shutdown on

Oct. 1 or an economy-threatening default on the national debt weeks later.

With revenue rising, what’s the fight about?

Now that the government is taking in more money, Republicans in Congress are more opposed than ever to tax increases sought by President Barack Obama and his Democratic allies.

“This year the federal government will bring more revenue in than in any year in our history,” said House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio. “We have a spending problem in Washington. It has to be addressed.”

But Obama and the Democrats want to do away with some of the spending cuts, and they say they won’t accept significant further reduc-

tions – unless there’s also action to bring in more revenue.

“Democrats know we must do more to reduce the deficit,” says Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada. “We believe in a balanced approach that pairs spending cuts with having those that can afford it pay more.”

At the same time, some economists worry that currently rising revenue numbers will reduce the pressure to address the nation’s longterm debt problems.

“I don’t think political leaders feel that they have a gun to their head the way they did a couple years ago,” said William Gale, a former economic adviser to President George H.W. Bush and now co-director of the Tax Policy Center.

Divorce: A New Life?

H. Joseph Gitlin, Attorney Joe Gitlin of Woodstock was listed as one of the nation’s top 43 divorce lawyers in the National Law Journal and is listed in The Best Lawyers in America. He is also ranked as an Illinois Leading Lawyer (member of Advisory Board) and Super Lawyer.

Statement: I want a divorce so I can start my life over.

Comment: Once upon a time there was a man who wandered from village to village looking for a good village in which to relocate.

He was not meeting with success.

He came to a village which seemed attractive, but he was not sure. He asked a resident of the community, “Are the people in this community good people? Is this a good community in which to live?” The villager responded with a question, “What was it like in the village you came from?” The wanderer answered,“In my old village the people were terrible. It was a bad place to live.” The villager responded,“In that case you will find the people here terrible and you will find this village a bad place to live.”

This story says that whoever we are on the inside we take with us no matter where we go. The same is true of a divorce. A divorce is another village, but you take your inner person to the new village and so despite the divorce you will be plagued with many of the inner problems you had during the marriage. While a divorce is by no means a cure all, it certainly cures some problems, like physical and mental abuse, a marriage that is bad for the children, a marriage to a financially irresponsible person etc.

Statement: We have been divorced for three years. I am remarried. I have lived up to the letter of the divorce judgment, but my ex-wife keeps bugging me about insignificant matters, and if she has a chance, she will haul me into court.

Comment: Some people do not get over the relationship because of a divorce. Some divorced people want to continue the relationship with the former spouse, even if it is a negative relationship, just like children will sometimes do bad things to gain parental attention on the basis that negative attention is better than no attention.

Question: How long after the divorce do I have to put up with my ex?

Comment: If you have children, you will have to communicate with each other until the children are adults (18 or finish high school), or until they finish college.

Statement: I am in my 60’s. This has not been a good marriage for many years. I intend to go for a divorce so that I “have a life” even if it is at this late stage.

Comment: As life spans lengthen I am finding more divorces among senior citizens, and most of them fit the above illustration. For senior citizens, especially because they are past the child raising stage, there is life after divorce.

Statement: I am three years into the marriage. We have no children.

I knew after the first year the marriage was a mistake.

Comment: Get into counseling (for yourself, and not marriage counseling) so you can figure out what mistakes were made. You don’t want to make the same mistakes twice. A divorce in your situation is much like making a bad investment. If an investment turns bad you should cut your losses short as soon as possible.

New ultra air purifier used by hospitals now available to public Indoor air has 100 times the pollution of outdoor air. This is proven to cause numerous serious health problems.

By: John Whitehead, Media Services

Here is big news from recent scientific studies.

If you are in your home, EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE CAN BE DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH. Did you know that the EPA has found that indoor air has 100 times more pollution than outdoor air? The EPA reports that this pollution has now been linked to numerous health problems including heart attacks and cancer.

A new ultra air purifier that is used by hospitals removes 99.9% of this harmful pollution. It is now available to the public in a home sized model.

Indoor air pollution is generated by many sources including human infections, pet dander, dust mites, decomposing insects, bacteria breading dirt in carpets, household cleaners, laundry detergent, synthetic fabrics, personal care toiletries, household appliances, computers, paint, stoves, furnaces, air conditioning, fireplaces, tobacco, and much more.

This pollution causes allergies, breathing problems and headaches, as most people know. However recent research has found that it causes more serious health problems. Small particle pollution that is not removed by conventional air purifiers such as hepa filters get into the lining of your lungs.

They then breed toxins which then travel into your blood stream. They then can cause health problems to every part of your body.

A short while ago, a highly advanced air purification system was developed that uses 400 degree heat at a central core to destroy virtually all pollution. This advanced purification system that has been proven in 20 international independent scientific studies.

Hospitals then began using this air purification system in the form of large commercial units. They found it to be lifesaving in that it cut the spread of infections, diseases, and removed the cause of many other health problems.

A high-tech company then developed a small version of these commercial units for home and small institution use.

These small units are now available to the public for home use, and they are being used by small hospital facilities, doctor’s offices, schools, and nurseries.

This small version of the hospital air purifier is the EdenPURE ® Air Purifier by Air Free. It has no fan so it runs silent. It has no filter or UV light bulbs to replace saving you up to $229 a year over conventional air purifiers.

If you have allergies and breathing problems this new air purifier will relieve those. If you have headaches that are related to pollution, it will also relieve those. If you have other health problems that are related to harmful pollution, this advanced air purifier will relieve those also.

The patented technology developed by AirFree® kills up to 99.99% of ALL microorganisms (germs and viruses) passing through the 400 degree ceramic core, yet it cannot burn anyone. It is totally safe.

The EdenPURE ® by Air Free ® works in 15 minutes to kill germs, viruses, mold, mildew, bacteria, pollen, pet dander, ozone, odors, dust mite allergens and much more.

To learn more about the incredible healthy air offered by the EdenPURE® Air Purifiers

8NATION BRIEF Man charged with killing 3: Town stole my home SAYLORSBURG, Pa. – A disabled junk dealer feuding with local officials over his debris-strewn property packed a rental car with guns and ammunition before opening fire at a town meeting and killing three men, authorities said Tuesday. Rockne Newell, 59, had lost his property this year

in a court fight over complaints that he lived in a storage shed, built an illegal culvert and used a bucket outside as a toilet.

At his arraignment on homicide charges Tuesday morning, a judge asked Newell if he owned any real estate.

“They stole it from me. That’s what started all this,” he replied.

Popular election of chair is done in Kane, DuPage, Cook • CHAIR

Proposed changes

Continued from page A1 each November election.

“We’re going to work hard in getting it done,” Yensen said.

Management Services will discuss the issue at its meeting Monday and will direct the State’s Attorney’s Office to begin drafting the language if the committee agrees to move forward, Yensen said.

Popular election of the chairman – as is done in Kane, DuPage and Cook counties – is a variation on the theme that inspired many of the proposed changes to board rules, namely paring the powers of the chairmanship that critics allege have grown too large.

Management Services, which reviews the board rules after each election, spent six months compiling the large body of changes that required two Committee of the Whole reviews Friday and Tuesday.

About 10 of these proposed changes are aimed at the chairman’s incumbency.

They include limiting the chairman and vice chairman to three consecutive terms and countering the chairman’s power of incumbency by stripping its ability to appoint the chairmanships of the County Board’s standing committees in which much of county government’s work gets done.

Because chairmanships of the board’s 11 committees can be leveraged for votes, critics allege that an incumbent chairman can secure all but one of the 13 votes needed.

That is, if the power to elect the chairman isn’t given to the voters.

Former Chairman Ken Koehler, R-Crystal Lake, served four terms as chairman before losing his bid for a fifth term to Hill in December. Calls during the latter years of Koehler’s eight-year reign to make the chairmanship popularly elected culminated in November in an unsuccessful referendum to change to a county-executive form of government such as Will County has.

The referendum, spearheaded by state Rep. Jack Franks, a Marengo Democrat who had butted heads with Koehler on many occasions, shook County Board members into referendum discussions.

A proposal to put its own referendum on the November ballot as a competing measure was soundly rejected as a surefire way to confuse voters.

Hill ordered Management Services after new committee assignments were finalized in

• Limiting the chairman and the vice chairman to no more than three consecutive two-year terms.

• Eliminating the chairman’s power to appoint the chairmen of the County Board’s standing committees.

• Eliminating the chairman’s power to appoint the committee that meets after every November election to assign board members to their committees.

• Raising the number of votes needed if the chairman wants to replace a committee member to a three-fourths supermajority, or 18 out of 24 members.

• Codifying which appointments made by the chairman must be approved by a full County Board vote.

• Eliminating two of the board’s 11 standing committees.

Continued from page A1 The Associated Press reported in May that American officials had identified five men who might be responsible for the Sept. 11, 2012, attack in Benghazi that occurred just weeks before President Barack Obama’s re-election.

The suspects were not named publicly, but the FBI released photos of three of the five suspects, asking the public to provide more information on the men pictured.

The images were captured by security cameras at the U.S. diplomatic post during the attack, but it took weeks for the FBI to see and study them. The FBI and other U.S. intelligence agencies identified the men through contacts in Libya and by monitoring their communications.

They are thought to be members of Ansar al-Shariah, the Libyan militia group

• ROUTES Continued from page A1 One of the first steps the county took in putting together its long-range transportation plan was gathering public input.

At 13 “pop-up” meetings held around the county in 2011 – at places such as the McHenry County Fair, the Crystal Lake and Algonquin farmers markets and McHenry County College – people were given three coins they could put toward different types of new projects.

Just under half of the coins were put toward bicycle and pedestrian improvements, according to the McHenry County Division of Transportation. It subsequently proposed $64.1 million in bicycle and pedestrian projects.

The state also is collecting input for a bike transportation plan it wants to release by the end of the year, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation. The report

is part of the state’s overall long-range transportation plan.

The plan’s recommendations will cover planning, policy, safer designs, network possibilities, funding mechanisms and education methods.

The website illinoisbikeplan.com has been set up to survey residents about the type of bicyclists they are, the communities they live in, their priorities and what improvements would need to be made to make them feel safe on different roadways.

Safety education is at the top of Scott Offord’s priority list.

The Woodstock resident commutes pretty much every day to Country Donuts, the business he co-owns in Crystal Lake. It takes him about half an hour if he catches a tailwind.

“I would just like to see more information on bicycle safety for people who do use the roads,” Offord said. “I’m not really for segregating

whose fighters were seen near the U.S. diplomatic facility prior to the violence.

Waiting to prosecute the suspects instead of grabbing them now could add to the political burden the Benghazi case already has placed on Obama and Democrats who want to succeed him in 2016.

Since Obama’s re-election, Republicans in Congress have condemned the administration’s handling of the matter, criticizing the level of embassy security and questioning the talking points provided to U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice for her public explanation of the attack. Conservatives have suggested that the White House tried to play down the incident to minimize its effect on the president’s campaign.

Republicans also have taken political aim at Hillary Rodham Clinton, who was secretary of state at the time of the attack and is a possible Democratic presidential contender in 2016.

have paved shoulders.

“I’m not saying rip up every road,” Veit said. “That makes no sense, but the key is when you’re already redoing a road, then do it right. Do it as a complete street.”

McHenry County Bicycle Advocates has been pushing for the county to adopt a Complete Street policy, which means that changes to roadways should not diminish their usability for any users, and if improvements are made, they should improve the road for all users.

The group has collected more than 700 signatures supporting the policy.

The state already has a Complete Street policy, but because not all local governments do and many road projects require a local match, many projects don’t meet the standard, Veit said.

He’d like to see the state change the way the cost sharing is done for these projects to ensure that the bikeways and sidewalks are added where they are most needed.

January to discuss the possibility of putting the referendum on the April ballot. But the committee did not move forward in great part because of time constraints – its first meeting was a week before the Jan. 22 deadline.

Supporters of a referendum on the County Board gathered enough signatures to force a special meeting to vote on the idea, which failed, 11-9. Management Services subsequently agreed to revisit a referendum after it was finished with the rules overhaul that it had just started.

Concerns over the authority the chairmanship wields – exacerbated by a controversy in May over the chairman’s power over boards and commissions in the wake of a contentious appointment to the embattled McHenry County Mental Health Board – helped drive a number of the rule changes now proposed.

The changes will go to a vote at the County Board’s next morning meeting Sept. 3.

Hill decided against the Aug. 20 night meeting because of the time that will most likely be needed for members to amend and approve them.

Tuesday’s Committee of the Whole meeting was supposed to take place immediately after the County Board’s regularly scheduled meeting. But the regular meeting was canceled out of concern that the agenda may not have been posted online for the full 48 prior hours mandated by the Illinois Open Meetings Act.

He likes to see projects done when they’re cost-effective.

A common misconception, he said, is that people are safer on trails, but because people tend to be less diligent on trails, accidents are more common.

Connecting Woodstock and Crystal Lake is one of the bigger improvements Veit would like to see because government meetings are held in Woodstock; another hope is to connect Woodstock residents to the Prairie Trail, a 26-mile, multiuse trail that follows a former railway line from Algonquin to the Wisconsin border.

The most direct connection between the two cities on the 2013 map put out by Active Transportation Alliance runs from Hillside Road to Country Club Road to McConnell Road, a route that was only included as a default, Veit said.

If the treatments you’ve tried haven’t helped your chronic neck or back pain, we encourage you to try Spinal Rejuvenation Therapy.

This amazing, non-surgical decompression therapy has helped thousands of FORMER pain sufferers.

the source of the pain. Our medical practitioners have helped people with many different back conditions, such as bulging discs, protruding discs, degenerative disc disease, arthritis, sciatica, posterior facet syndrome, and failed back surgery.

Spinal Rejuvenation Therapy does not mask pain - instead it corrects

The Science The Treatment

Symptoms of a herniated disc can vary depending on the location of the herniation and the type of soft tissue involved. In many cases severe and unrelenting pain will radiate into the region served by an affected nerve root that is irritated or impinged by the herniated material.

Spinal decompression gently pulls the vertebral joints apart. It is believed this precise process produces a negative pressure inside the disc causing any herniated material to slowly recede away from the affected nerve root and back into the disc.

It is also believed through this process the disc is re-hydrated, aiding in its restoration.

Healthy Disc. This is the goal of our treatment, to return your disc to it’s healthy state so you can live life free from pain and begin to enjoy life once again!

Spinal Rejuvenation Therapy targets a specific disc or trouble area. It creates a vacuum effect inside the disc, allowing the center of the disc to be reabsorbed into its proper position. When the herniated material in the disc has receded, the nerves in the disc are able to heal, eliminating the patient’s pain.

It may sound painful, but it’s not.

Patients are fitted with a support system, then positioned on a comfortable spinal decompression table. The support system stabilizes the patient’s body so the therapy can focus on the affected area of the spine.

Once on the table, an advanced computer system elongates the spine in a slow, gentle manner.This relieves pressure on compressed discs.

The Goal The decompression doctor’s primary goal is to relieve the patient’s pain. It is extremely important to accurately diagnose the cause of the patient’s condition. The doctor

will perform a physical evaluation, review all previously existing data such as MRI or X-Ray to be certain the patient is a candidate for the decompression procedure.

We’re not sure. But at this point, Quinn, Madigan and Cullerton must find a solution to the pension crisis by any means necessary. If legislators lose some pay in the process, be assured that it is the absolute least of the public’s concern.

There is simply no responsibility greater for state lawmakers than pension reform. Think about the most critical task you perform on your job. Suppose you decided to put it off for months or years? How long would you expect to continue collecting a paycheck?

The tragedy is that a legal battle among the state’s leaders over legislative pay is just another thing taking precedence over pension reform, where those same leaders consistently fail taxpayers on a daily basis.

We can’t be anything but skeptical, but if this fight moves legislators closer to pension reform, it’s not the worst thing that could happen.

8ANOTHER VIEW

Medical marijuana In general, we’re not keen on looking to Illinois for leadership and direction on, well, almost anything.

But Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn did the right thing last week when he signed into law a bill that approves medical marijuana for Illinois residents, making our neighbor to the south the 20th state, along with the District of Columbia, to legalize pot for medical purposes.

Wisconsin should step up and do the same, an act that would give our residents who suffer from many debilitating conditions the same relief that is available now in nearly half the country.

Another Midwest neighbor, Michigan, approved medical marijuana five years ago.

Other states made the leap as far back as the late 1990s.

From Maine (1999) to New Mexico (2007), from Alaska (1998) to Massachusetts (2012), the medical marijuana movement is taking hold.

The Illinois plan calls for strict controls on both growers and users of medical marijuana.

The rules vary from state to state, and Illinois appears to have among the tightest controls in the nation.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE County board chair To the Editor: State Sen. Dan Duffy, R-Lake Barrington, and state Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, appear to be the only local, elected officials who understand that accessibility and accountability are needed at all levels of government.

The two leaders recently called on the McHenry County Board to hold an open screening process for the appointment of the county’s representative to the Regional Transit Authority, instead of making the choice through the backroom deals typical of the board.

It’s a shame that new County Board Chairwoman Tina Hill is stuck in the politics of the past.

She rewards her political supporters at the expense of the taxpayers of McHenry County – witness the recent fiasco in appointing a new member to the Mental Health Board.

Duffy and Franks want to end the good-old-boy network’s ability to reward political insiders with plum patronage jobs.

Instead, they want what we the taxpayers want: qualified individuals to serve in appointed government positions following rigorous vetting.

Hill’s heavy-handedness in making appointments, and the continuation of the cronyism that marked former Chairman Ken Koehler’s reign as board chairman, are more examples as to why it’s time for the citizens to take back their

county government and demand the ability to directly elect their county board chairman.

More equal To the Editor: Isn’t it ironic?

The governor withholds the legislators paychecks for failing to come up with a solution to the pension problem. The legislators cry “unconstitutional!” and file a lawsuit.

Isn’t it amazing that they only apply the Illinois Constitution when it serves their needs? I believe the Constitution also protects public employees’ pensions but, well, that’s not the same thing at all, is it? Even though the legislators have benefitted all along by taking pension holidays, and making the rest of their constituents happy by getting their pet projects done with my retirement money, of which I have paid every penny of my share.

As usual in Illinois, some people are just more equal than others, especially if you are a politician.

George Zimmerman case. Here are a few aspects that you missed: Zimmerman was on a Neighborhood Watch.

From what I have gathered, Neighborhood Watch individuals are not allowed to carry guns whether they have a permit to carry or not.

Zimmerman was reporting a suspicious black guy with a hoodie (a hoodie because it was raining).

Zimmerman was told by the police department dispatch not to follow.

1. Zimmerman disobeyed the police. He followed Martin even after being told to “stay in your car, the police will handle this.”

2. Martin was on the phone with a friend. He told his friend he was being followed by someone who was saying things about him.

3. Martin, a 17-year-old, is reported to have turned and punched Zimmerman.

4. Zimmerman had a loaded gun in his pocket and shot Martin.

was Hispanic?” Your guess ... nothing? I didn’t know Zimmerman was part-Hispanic and that has nothing to do with what happened.

In my opinion, Zimmerman committed premeditated first-degree murder.

Yes, it is sad that in 2013 a young black male cannot be walking home in the rain with a hoodie, very sad indeed.

Service appreciation To the Editor: Recently, I had a car problem on busy Route 14, Crystal Lake. I was near Merlin Muffler, so I got the car into their very busy service area and was warmly greeted and waited on.

After realizing they could not do the needed repair, they suggested I see my car dealership. They took the time, with a smile, to take me home.

Plenty still to learn from the enduring legacy of Anne Frank AMSTERDAM – On the day I visit the Anne Frank House, which is actually the family’s hiding place atop Anne’s father’s business, the wait to get in is as long as three hours. Such is the attraction of this historic site, 53 years after it was opened to the public.

Anne and her family were among an estimated 107,000 Jews deported to concentration camps from the Netherlands during the German occupation in World War II. Anne’s diary has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide and is available in 75 languages. It not only is a testament to the indomitable spirit of a young girl, but a vision of hope in the midst of perhaps the greatest inhumanity in history.

While I have visited several

museums and memorials to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust, my first visit to Anne’s hiding place was quite different. Her story and that of her family and some friends who eluded the Nazis for two years before they were betrayed by an unknown person, is a living narrative that must be retold to this and future generations.

The timing of my visit coincides with the resumption of “peace talks” between Israel and the Palestinians. Some Palestinian leaders have made statements about Israel in general and Jews in particular that track with Nazi beliefs and propaganda. It is a sober reminder that history can repeat itself.

Anne’s appreciation of her culture finds full expression in this

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

VIEWS Cal Thomas diary entry dated April 11, 1944: “God has never deserted our people.

Through the ages Jews have had to suffer, but through the ages they have gone on living, and the centuries of suffering have only made them stronger. The weak shall fall and the strong shall survive and not be defeated!”

In the midst of this declaration of strength, there also was her understandable fear of being discovered.

As Anne wrote, also on April 11 after hearing footsteps and noises outside the wall that separated her

family from the rest of the building: “That night I really thought I was going to die. I waited for the police and I was ready for death, like a soldier on the battlefield. I’d gladly have given my life for my country.

But now that I’ve been spared, my first wish after the war is to become a Dutch citizen. I love the Dutch. I love this country. I love the language and I want to work here ...”

Ultimately she was not spared, but the literary classic she created in the midst of suffering, indeed because of it, has survived.

Anne and her sister, Margot, died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in March 1945, just weeks before liberating British troops arrived. Their bodies were probably dumped in a mass grave.

In a diary entry dated April 4, 1944, Anne wrote, “I want to go on living even after my death.” And so she has. Her desire was to be a writer and she succeeded in her short life more than many writers who live a normal lifespan.

Her modest living conditions after the family was forced to move out of their home is a monument to the power of individual courage and the triumph of good over evil. In her diary, as in her life, Anne Frank is a heroine, a role model, a martyr and a reminder of the power and influence one individual can have.

Anne Frank’s life was a candle in the midst of great darkness. Her flame should burn forever.

CRYSTAL LAKE STORE ROBBED CRYSTAL LAKE – The Bethesda Thrift Shop off Route 14 was robbed during the overnight hours Friday, according to the Crystal Lake Police Department.

Someone entered the store at 26 Crystal Lake Plaza and stole a safe containing an undisclosed amount of money and other items, police Cmdr. Derek Hyrkas said.

He declined to release more information about the incident.

The investigation is ongoing.

City could keep courthouse Woodstock officials wary of finding buyer for historical building

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – City officials have kicked around the idea of keeping the Old Courthouse under city ownership long term – a proposition that could cost an extra $2.7 million in renovations.

But first things first: They want to hear from potential

private owners who have the desire – and resources – to take on the title of landlord for one of the county’s most historical buildings.

The city has started a process to market the building in advance of a request for proposals that could come as early as October and conclude as early as late November.

“The City Council determined that they want to go ahead and take a more proactive effort at this stage,” Brian Sager Mayor Brian Woodstock mayor Sager said.

At the council’s strategic planning meet-

ing earlier this summer, Sager expressed a general feeling that finding a suitable buyer to incur the second half – and then some – of repair costs could be difficult, according to the meeting’s minutes.

Last fall, an architect’s report found that after the city completed its estimated

HELP ENVIRONMENT, SHOP LOCALLY The weather is beautiful, fresh produce is in season and local downtown communities are waiting.

By shopping locally and buying produce grown in McHenry County, you are taking important steps in protecting our environment. Plus, you are being a great example to others, and local growers and business owners appreciate the business and enjoy meeting their customers.

Go even further and bring your own bags for your goods, ride a bike or walk, compost the organic waste, recycle any packaging and carry a water bottle.

Put all these parts together and you’ve not only helped the Earth, but you got some exercise, made healthy eating choices, reduced your carbon footprint, reduced landfill space and saved resources.

Now that’s building a high quality of life not only for yourself but also for others, and that’s something to feel good about.

Plum Crazy Puppets employee Joanne Schiele of Glenview holds up a puppet during a performance Tuesday at the Larsen Park Storytelling Festival in Lake in the Hills. The event was hosted by the Algonquin Area Public Library, Lake in the Hills Parks and Recreation Department and Algonquin Events and Recreation Department. The event featured professional storytellers, a puppeteer and musical entertainers from the Chicago area.

By JIM DALLKE jdallke@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – The first Larsen Park Storytelling Festival brought dozens of children and adults out for a day of engagement through the spoken word Tuesday.

Five storytellers and a puppeteer entertained the crowd through a variety of stories. The event was free to the public, and the performers volunteered their time.

“It’s very different than just passively watching a TV or a movie,” said Alexa Newman, Youth Services librarian at the Algonquin Area Public Library and organizer of Tuesday’s festival. “You become involved in the story. You become part of it, and you retain it. It seems like when you go to live theater, and

Jenna Gignac, 4, of Crystal Lake lies down while listening to a storyteller Tuesday at the first Larsen Park Storytelling Festival in Lake in the Hills. you hear a story told, it resonates with you.”

Newman hopes the festival, which was hosted by the Algonquin Area Public Library, the Lake in the Hills Parks and Recreation Department and Algonquin’s Events and Recreation Department, will be-

come a yearly event.

“We’re just celebrating the art of storytelling,” she said. “I personally love storytelling. It’s something I feel strongly about in terms of an art form.”

The festival brought regionally and nationally known storytellers

to Larsen Park, including professional actress and storyteller Paddy Lynn, puppeteer Silva Kraft-Walker and Africaand Europe-raised Vlada Bernhardtz, who tells stories from around the world.

Denise Farrugia has been telling folktales and literary tales for more than 35 years. Her style of engaging the audience by movement and constant eye contact kept the children and adults hanging on her every word.

“You can see the expressions on their face,” Farrugia said. “You can see how engaged they are. And that is very powerful because you know that they are right there with you.”

CARY – In a move to help spur economic development, building permit fees for commercial projects in the village have been reduced.

Fees for $10,000 alterations to commercial buildings were reduced by the Village Board by 50 percent; commercial addition permit fees were reduced by 25 percent; and the new building permit fee was reduced by 25 percent. The changes were approved on Monday by the Village Board.

Village staff began looking at fees in town and in surrounding communities to see how the municipality compared, Director of Community and Economic Development Chris Stilling said.

Permit fees for new construction of a commercial or office building now are 56 cents per square foot and 14 cents per square foot for new industrial buildings.

A permit for adding onto an existing commercial or office structure now costs 58 cents per square foot and 20 cents per square foot for an industrial building.

Permit fees for altering a commercial building are based on the value of the project’s labor and materials. A permit fee for a commercial alteration that costs more than $10,000 was cut in half to 1 percent of the total valuation.

Reducing the commercial fees is a way to help expanding and new businesses, Stilling said.

“It’s a testimony to our board’s commitment to economic development and assisting the community in future project needs,” Stilling said.

Permit fees help cover the cost of inspections and plan reviews, Stilling said.

Staff recommended no changes to residential permit fees, as village costs for those

McHenry ends shoveling requirement

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – After years of difficult enforcement, the McHenry City Council did away with its ordinance requiring the removal of snow and ice from sidewalks.

The ordinance required both commercial and residential property owners to clear sidewalks on or next to their property within 24 hours.

The Community Development Committee also had looked at the ordinance in 2010, deciding to enforce the provision by complaint only and keep a log of staff

Doug Martin, McHenry deputy city administrator, recommended the City Council do away with the snow removal ordinance.

time spent on enforcement.

During the winter of 2011 and 2012, the five major snow events that occurred between December and February resulted in 12 complaints, according to council documents.

To ensure fair enforcement, staff looked at the address being complained

about as well as other properties in the neighborhood, Deputy City Administrator Doug Martin said.

Because of that policy, the 12 complaints led to visits being made or letters being sent to 92 property owners, according to council documents.

About 77 hours of staff time was spent identifying properties, investigating complaints, logging the information, sending notices and conducting follow-up inspections.

Martin also pointed to the difficulty in enforcing the ordinance in his recommendation for removing it.

Issuing violations can

come down to a judgment call on whether the snow melted or it was removed, council documents said.

That makes taking the issue to court difficult.

City staff hasn’t decided how it will handle issues going forward, Martin said.

The city will encourage removal, but it no longer has a mechanism to force property owners to comply.

“I have to say this is a step in the right direction,” Alderman Victor Santi said. “I think the process is maybe never-ending, where I assume from time to time, we’ll still get phone calls and have to check things out.”

Road work awarded The Village Board on Monday awarded its 2013 capital improvement projects to Berger Excavating Inc. out of Wauconda for $1.96 million. The company’s bid was 10.2 percent lower than the engineer’s estimate of $2.18 million.

Road resurfacing is set for West James Way, West Margaret Terrace, Alicia Drive, Wooded Knoll Drive, Carl Sands Drive, East James Way, Claire Lane and Bell Drive.

Water main and storm sewer will also take place on West James Way and on West Margaret Terrace.

Work is expected to begin by the end of the month and run through November, said Public Works Director Cris Papierniak.

The first 10 graduates will be honored at 11 a.m. Thursday with a ceremony, diploma, prizes and the addition of their photos to the library’s Wall of Stars.

“What these young kids have accomplished is so valuable. They listen and hear language, and by kindergarten, most of them are already readers,” Youth Services librarian Tara Kazda said in a news release. “Between parental encouragement, library story time and the 1,001 Books program, preschoolers have the building blocks in place for literacy. They soak it up like

a sponge.”

Children can begin the program anytime during the year.

Interested parents must be an Algonquin Area Public Library cardholder, and the child should not yet be a kindergarten student. Children earn prizes at every 100 books milestone.

The library’s Youth Services team will suggest titles for parents to read with a child, but the guiding principle is the books should be ones the child enjoys, even if a child wants to hear the same story several times. Each time it’s read, it counts toward the 1,001 Books goal. Reading just three books a day for one year will allow a child to exceed the total required.

For information about the 1,001 Books Before Kindergarten program, visit www. aapld.org or call 847-458-6060.

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com UNION – Gordy Wilke and his wife, Bonnie, were stunned by the hundreds of residents who came to the Union Fire Station to honor him for his 47 years of service to Union.

Gordy Wilke, who first volunteered for the Union Fire Protection District in 1964, said he was grateful that so many in the community came out for the July 28 celebration.

Residents also caught a glimpse of a newly delivered firetruck, which represented one of Wilke’s final actions

as district board president before retiring in May. Wilke filled nearly every role within the volunteer fire protection district during his 47 years, including firefighter, assistant chief and fire chief before sliding over to the board president role.

“It’s a good service to get into, if you ever have any ambition, because it’s something that everybody needs – fire protection,” Wilke said.

Throughout the decades, Wilke remained passionate for fire protection while also owning and operating Clasen’s Tavern in Union for more than 20 years. The paid volunteer role allowed him to

serve the only community he has known.

A lifelong Union resident, Wilke even met his wife during a carnival to benefit the fire department in 1959, a year after the Union Fire Protection District formed.

After his initial service in the mid-1960s, Gordy and Bonnie Wilke went to Iowa for work, where he continued his fire volunteerism for two years before returning to Union in 1970.

He continued serving the local protection district until 1992. Two years later, he was appointed to the district board until health issues forced him to retire earlier

this spring.

Dale Carr, a disabled resident who recently made news for his frustration with Union Village Board members over the use of his all-terrain vehicle, replaced Wilke as board president in May. Gordy Wilke now leaves behind a wealth of knowledge about the district, but he still will be within earshot of district officials. He and Bonnie Wilke plan to stay in Union during his retirement.

“You get attached to [fire protection],” Gordy Wilke said. “Somebody needs to do it. I own property, too. When the fire whistle blows, you hope somebody comes.”

Organizers hope to make the golf outing an annual event, Bauer said.

The cost of the outing is $100 per person and includes an after party with dinner and two drink tickets. Tickets for the party cost $75 each.

In many legends, gnomes guard veins of gold, copper, coal and even diamonds. In general, gnomes are considered helpful to people and some say the gnomes have led them to underground treasures.

A gnome, (pronounced nome), is a being that appears in legends around the world.

Nearly every legend describes a gnome as a tiny, human-like creature that lives inside the earth.

Which treasure belongs to which gnome? Add up the numbers along each path. The number on each gnome’s hat matches the sum of the numbers along the trail to each one’s treasure.

Gnomes are said to look like small versions of the people in the countries where they live.

Standards Link: Math; compute sums and differences to 22.

In the box at right, draw what you think a gnome could look like.

Nobody has actually seen a gnome. They are most likely only characters in folktales. However, little gnomes made of clay can be seen in many gardens. Can you find which garden gnome in each row is different?

Standards Link: Recognizing similarities and differences in common objects.

Find the words in the puzzle. Then look for each word in this week’s Kid Scoop stories and activities.

A World of Gnomes

Many of the early gnome legends come from Europe. When Europeans came to the Americas, they brought their stories about gnomes.

Standards Link: Letter sequencing. Recognized identical words. Skim and scan reading. Recall spelling patterns.

Can you even up the weight in these three carts?

Just move one stone to another cart so that the sums in all of the carts are the same.

Standards Link: Math; students compute sums to 30; problem solving.

ANSWER: Move the stone with the number 18 from cart ʻCʼ to cart ʻA.ʼ All the carts should add up to 30.

In Wales, gnomes are also called “knockers.”

It is said that they are skillful miners and can be heard hammering and knocking in deep, abandoned mine tunnels.

This endless knocking and hammering led to the name “knockers.”

Balancing Act

Standards Link: Social Science; students understand the importance of traditions, beliefs and customs in cultures.

Look through the newspaper for words that have a silent “g” or a silent “k” at the beginning. Cut out each word.

Draw a picture that shows what each word means.

Find three pictures in the newspaper, one to represent BIG, another for BIGGER, and a third to represent BIGGEST. Label each picture. Repeat this activity with other words such as FUNNY, SAD and SMALL. Send your story to:

Northwest Herald P.O. Box 250 Crystal Lake, IL 60039

Standards Link: Decoding; recognize and decode consonant digraphs.

Send your story to:

Finish this story.

Deadline: September 1 Published: Week of Sept. 29 Please include your school and grade.

Fall Classes Starting Now

Attendee: Children ‘feel it’ as they listen to stories • FESTIVAL Continued from page B1 Penny and Joe Giunta were in town on vacation and decided to stop by in hopes of hearing a new story.

“You can see when they are telling the stories, they are having the children repeat it. And the expression on their face … they feel it,”

Penny Giunta said. “It’s really kind of neat when you see that happening because their minds are going.”

“There’s something in all of us that loves a good story,” Joe Giunta said. “I don’t exactly know why, but the listening to a story and listening to it live, when someone’s telling it, still has a magic to it that is better than television and anything else you can see.”

Previously the village charged taxing bodies the full permit fee amount. The change comes after the Cary Protection Fire District requested a reduction in permit fees for its addition to the station on Cary-Algonquin Road.

The board agreed to that request, and decided to have a blanket policy for other taxing bodies, such as the park district and library district, Stilling said.

$2 million in renovations to prepare for a sale, a private owner would need to cover an additional $2.7 million to bring the Old Courthouse and Sheriff’s House to a standard the city approved.

Adding to the council’s concerns, the city’s bid for a grant to cover the bulk of the costs for the courthouse’s dome and stairs was denied earlier this year because of the city’s plans to eventually sell the property.

That fact helped push the council to look for buyers now; continuing to plan for a future sale means the city might be cutting itself off from grant funding in the meantime.

In short, if Woodstock is going to take on the rest of the project, it’s best for the city to know now, City Manager Roscoe Stelford said.

“It’s a bit of an irony that if Roscoe the city were to Stelford maintain and Woodstock city manager b e l o n g t i m e stewards, we might have greater opportunity for grants than if it were to go into private hands,” Sager added.

If interest in the courthouse is low, officials would need to find new and possibly nontraditional avenues of funding. At the strategic planning meeting, council members brought up tax increment financing funding in addition to aggressively seeking grants, the minutes said.

They also discussed alternative revenue bonds.

“We could consider it going forward,” Stelford said of the bonds. “But we’re basically at phase one, which is to see if there’s interest in private ownership at this time.”

Sager said officials have remained optimistic they will find a private owner.

“We’re hopeful to find someone with strong interest in historic preservation that can see the value of this particular building to the downtown Woodstock business community,” he said.

BEARS IN BOURBONNAIS

First preseason games, what are they good for?

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

BOURBONNAIS – In 1970, when one-hit wonder Edwin Starr famously asked the question, “War, what is it good for?” his emphatic response was, “Absolutely nothing!”

If we asked Bears coach Marc Trestman a similar question – such as, “First exhibition games, what are they good for?” – would he have the same response?

Trestman was asked the question and he responded: “Practice is really important, but we’ll go out Friday night and give them a chance to see what they do against an oppo-

nent at a different level because it’s under the lights with an audience.”

In other words, Friday night’s opening preseason game against the Next up Carolina Panthers at Carolina, 7 p.m. Friday, FOX, will be a gloAM-780, 105.9-FM rified practice with contact, at full speed, in which most of the guys who will make the final

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush 53-man roster will see little or no playing time. It’s a chance to start to identify who might be the 40th to 53rd players on the roster, and the next group that makes the practice squad.

It will have little to do with the outcome of the 2013 season.

Asked for his opinion of the value of this game, quarterback Jay Cutler replied: “Just get the calls in the

huddle, get everyone lined up, have no pre-snap penalties, execute the plays and get out.”

If typical NFL form holds, the starters will have eight to 12 plays to make that happen and then be left to wonder if the trip to Charlotte really was just about finding some good barbecue.

But that’s the starters and sure-fire backups. For the roughly 50 players battling for the last 13 or so spots on the roster, these games can be life-changing. And for a new coaching staff racing to install a brand new system, there is

value to be found as well.

Armando Allen has a leg up on the No. 3 running back spot, but he will be pushed

by Michael Ford and Harvey Unga. And Allen knows this game gives him a chance to put a stranglehold on that job.

“Of course, every preseason game is important, always especially important when you’ve got new coaches you want to impress,” Allen said. “When that opportunity comes along, I’ve got to do what I do best.”

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – When John Hart took over Huntley’s varsity football program last year, he did so on the premise that changing the culture had to be part of overhauling the system.

Watching the school’s athletic stadium receive a massive facelift certainly has been part of that

process. Now, a week before Hart officially gets to work on his second season with the Red Raiders, he anxiously awaits the day when his team can step foot onto the new FieldTurf that is part of the centerpiece of Huntley’s athletic complex renovation.

GREEN BAY PACKERS

Father: Bulaga has a torn ACL

By JON STYF jstyf@shawmedia.com

AP file photo

GREEN BAY, Wis. – The play, the seventh of Saturday night’s Packers Family Night practice, seemed like nothing notable.

A pileup occured and left tackle Bryan Bulaga left “kicking his leg a little bit,” according to Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson.

It’s the reason Thompson and others in the Packers organization remain hopeful for

Bulaga, who the Packers doctors have diagnosed with a torn ACL, according to Bulaga’s father, although the team is not saying that publicly yet.

He’s getting a second opinion on the MRI from Dr. James Andrews before deciding anything officially.

On the field Tuesday, the Packers moved on while Bulaga’s locker remained untouched, jersey and shoulder pads ready to be worn and shower sandals awaiting a foot. Instead, the feet that

touched the sandals were those of the media, trying to jostle for space to speak with rookie David Bakhtiari, who has the locker to Bulaga’s right and looks to hold down the left tackle position in his place.

Bulaga was at Lambeau Field, but he was not in the locker room to answer questions during the media period.

The biggest question was whether Bulaga would attempt to play with an ACL that’s at least partially torn.

The Packers carefully chose their words. But when asked how he would feel if Bulaga played with a torn ACL, teammate Josh Sitton minced no words.

“I would think he’s stupid,” said Sitton, who plays left guard next to Bulaga.

“He’s got a career to worry about.

“It’s not just about this year when you have something like that.”

BEARS IN BOURBONNAIS

Siren fails to slow down Bears BOURBONNAIS – This is a test. This is only a test.

If this were a real emergency, the Bears would have been running and screaming and praying to God (or is it Ditka?) (trick question!) to have mercy on their souls.

An overcast sky and a slight breeze greeted the Bears on Tuesday when they arrived to the practice field at Olivet Nazarene University.

One hour later, at 10 a.m. on the nose tackle, something else greeted them.

It was a tornado siren.

Whirrr-WHIRRR-Whirrr-WHIRRR. Hut, hut, hike!

Whirrr-WHIRRR-Whirrr-WHIRRR. “That’s the first time since I’ve been here that I’ve heard the sirens go off,” veteran running back Michael Bush said with a smile. “But it didn’t alarm me or anything.”

Possibly, this is because Bush is a human wrecking

ball at 6-foot-1 and 245 pounds.

Alternatively, this is because Bush and his teammates were warned ahead of time that the nearby siren would blare at 10 a.m. as part of a regularly scheduled test.

By 10:03 a.m., the siren sputtered to its final note.

At 10:05 a.m., the siren awoke for a second round of testing.

At 10:08 a.m., silence. At least, as close as Bears practice ever comes to silence.

Through the noise, Bush ran for several gains down the right side of the field, fellow running back Michael Ford lumbered up the middle of the field once or twice, and Eric Weems slapped his hands in frustration after letting a ball hit the ground.

Fortunately, like the siren system, the Bears’ practice represented another test run.

Thirty-two days remain before the real deal takes place Sept.

BEARS NOTES

QB: Spate of batted balls no concern

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@shawmedia.com BOURBONNAIS – At the first day of training camp, defensive tackle Henry Melton said he likes to make quarterback Jay Cutler mad by batting down passes during practices.

Cutler must have been pretty ticked Tuesday during the Bears’ practice, as Melton batted a ball Jay Cutler to himself and returned it for a score, one of three such interceptions for Cutler.

“It was luck,” Melton said.

“I just put my hand up and it came to me. It was in the air forever. I just caught it and scored.”

Later in practice, Cutler attempted a throw that defensive end Shea McClellin made a spectacular play on, jumping in the passing lane and grabbing the pass and returning it for a touchdown.

During the final set of team drills, another Cutler pass was deflected at the line and intercepted by cornerback Isaiah Frey.

Cutler said the offense needs to “remind them again” when referring to the defense avoiding getting in the passing lanes.

“It’s frustrating, offensively, because it’s probably not going to happen in a game, but we’ve got to battle through it and we know we’re going to the right guy, going to the right spot, just we’re getting tipped here and there, couple bad decisions,” he said. “But like I said, it’s camp, and we just have to keep working on the things we’re struggling with and keep doing all the good things.”

Trestman also doesn’t read too much into the batted balls as a reason to sound the alarms regarding the passing game.

“I don’t get caught up in it right now because the pass rushers stop because they don’t want to get in the way, and their hands go up or they jump up in the air for the ball,” he said. “We try to discourage jumping up in the air for the ball so we can complete plays and let everybody go to the ball and finish, but we allow the guys to keep their hands up.”

Defensive players are supposed to hold up their rush to avoid hitting the QB, so the passing lanes normally would be open. Still, there were more Cutler interceptions Tuesday than explosive passing plays, making it the center of attention.

M.A.S.H. unit: Defensive end Julius Peppers, who had hamstring tightness Saturday night and took Monday’s practice off, was absent Tuesday, excused for personal reasons.

Running back Matt Forte took a rest day. Defensive tackle Stephen Paea returned to fullgo in practice after being limited Monday with hip tightness.

Receiver Earl Bennett still is being evaluated for a concussion. Offensive tackle Jonathan Scott (knee) was out after returning to practice Monday.

Quick hits: Despite being listed seventh on the initial, unofficial depth chart, receiver Eric Weems saw plenty of action with the first team. …

The biggest play of the day came on a long touchdown pass over the middle from Cutler to receiver Joe Anderson. … With Bennett absent, undrafted rookie receiver Josh Lenz took reps as the No. 2 punt returner.

BEARS INSIDER Tom Musick Bears will host the Cincinnati Bengals in the regular-season opener.

“Coach was telling us not to be alarmed with everything,” said defensive end Corey Wootton, quite possibly the most laid-back player on the team. “Actually, it wasn’t as big of a deal as I thought it was going to be. I thought it would be louder.”

Fair enough.

Keep in mind that Wootton’s workplace often includes 60,000-plus screaming strangers. Some of them paint their faces. Many of them lose their voices.

So, yeah, a tornado siren is kind of ho-hum by comparison.

Bush knew all about rowdy fans from his four-year stint

• Northwest Herald sports columnist Tom Musick can be reached at tmusick@shawmedia.com and on Twitter @tcmusick.

• ARKUSH Continued from page C1 One of those new coaches is offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer, who explained his role in this game as: “You’re trying to design plays to feature guys to let them play and give them the reps they need to make the team. There’s a lot of mechanics to that. They might be covered, but we’ll do everything we can to get everybody on offense a chance to make the team and become a contributor.”

Asked about the added ingredient of trying to install the new system, Kromer said: “There are guys stepping up and fitting into the system, and the system is fitting around them. So it’s a great opportunity in this game to show what each guy can do.”

In addition to the running backs, who might the Carolina game matter to the most?

Keep an eye on tight ends Steve Maneri, Kyle Adams and Fendi Onobun, who all appear to be battling for one spot behind Martellus Bennett and Leonard Pope. The starting five on the offensive line might

On defense, this game could be huge for Corvey Irvin and Zach Minter at tackle, Kyle Moore, Cheta Ozougwu, Jamaal Anderson and Cornelius Washington at end (assuming any of them are healthy enough to go), linebackers Patrick Trahan and J.T. Thomas, and defensive backs

Isaiah Frey, Sherrick McManis, Anthony Walters, Brandon Hardin and Tom Zbikowski.

For dozens of other players, it’s no more than a chance to get on tape for other clubs to see after they are cut by the Bears.

A source at Olivet Nazarene University tells me that Food Services almost got caught short Sunday when twice as many team members as usual showed up for meals on an off day. Don’t worry, everyone had plenty to eat, but the ONU folks really had to hustle.

Video of Cooper’s racial slur surfaced last week. He immediately was fined an undisclosed amount by the team, but was not suspended. Ironically, two days earlier he was promoted to the starting lineup after Jeremy Maclin suffered a season-ending injury.

On Friday, Eagles coach Chip Kelly announced that Cooper was given time off to seek counseling. Kelly did not put a timetable on his return. Four days later, he was back at practice and caught two touchdown passes against the Patriots’ defense.

“My concern wasn’t how he practiced,” Kelly said after practice. “It’s just him with the team itself and to get the chance to make sure he got to talk to every single guy so that they understood how we felt, what he did, and understand that he’s truly sorry for what he did.”

Cooper said he talked to every one of his teammates, face to face, and apologized.

Derrick Rose has promised he’ll be ready for opening night of the 2013-14 NBA season, but he’ll have to share the spotlight.

The Bulls will open Oct. 29 at Miami in the first nationally televised game of the season.

Rose figures to play in his first game since tearing the ACL in his left knee in Game 1 of the 2012 playoffs. But first, he and his teammates will watch the Heat unveil its second straight championship banner.

The last time the Bulls opened against the defending champs was in 2006, when they beat the host Heat, 108-66.

The Bulls’ home opener is Oct. 31 against the New York Knicks.

Beasley arrested on marijuana charges SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Phoenix Suns forward Michael Beasley was arrested by Scottsdale police after they found what they believe to be marijuana in his car early Tuesday after a traffic stop, according to Officer David Pubins.

An officer found three cigarettes suspected to contain marijuana in Beasley’s Mercedes after smelling marijuana during the stop, Pubins said.

Bears keeping it all in the family

Cooper returns to practice PHILADELPHIA – Receiver Riley Cooper returned to the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday after a four-day excused absence to undergo sensitivity training after he was caught on film yelling a racial slur before a Kenny Chesney concert.

Cooper, in his fourth year out of the University of Florida, seemed remorseful during an eight-minute news con- Riley Cooper ference with the media after the Eagles and New England Patriots began what will be a three-day practice routine before Friday night’s preseason opener.

“It’s great to be back doing what I love to do, play football,” Cooper said.

“I realize how many people I hurt, how many families I hurt, how many kids I hurt. It’s going to be tough. I’m go-

Hurricanes never make it to Illinois. Neither do sharknadoes.

But tornados do happen, unfortunately, and the Bears need to be ready.

Veteran guard Matt Slauson grew up in Oregon but now considers Nebraska home. He was confident that his new teammates on the Bears would be prepared for a twister.

“Nah,” Bush said. “No tornadoes. You’ve got to worry about earthquakes. That’s about it.”

That’s about it?

That’s a pretty huge it. But the Raiders never bothered with team earthquake drills.

“In Oakland, when you get earthquakes, you’re sitting at the house or something,” Bush said. “And you’re nervous.”

And you’re shaking. But not because you’re nervous.

KANNAPOLIS, N.C. – Threetime NASCAR champion Tony Stewart broke his right leg Monday night at Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, where he flipped his 360 winged sprint car while leading with five laps remaining in the 30-lap feature. He had surgery Tuesday on the upper and lower parts of his leg, and Stewart-Haas Racing said he’ll need a second surgery.

Stewart remained hospitalized Tuesday and there was no timetable for his return to racing. Max Papis was tabbed to replace Stewart this weekend in the No. 14 Chevrolet at Watkins Glen, where Stewart is a five-time winner and his streak of 521 consecutive starts will end.

Bulaga hurt again • BULAGA Continued from page C1 After the injury, Bulaga returned to the Family Night practice and played well.

Thompson noted that, and Sitton said there was no noticeable change after the injury.

“He looked good the entire time,” Sitton said. “He played a good number of plays with it hurt. He looked fine to me. He made all his blocks and looked good.”

Though Sitton joked that Bulaga should just “brace it up and play,” he really felt “sick” when he heard the news about a teammate who had spent all summer in Green Bay working to recover from a hip injury that cost him the end of last season. Sitton described Bulaga as “devastated” over the news.

Coach Mike McCarthy saw much of Bulaga’s extra work this summer first-hand.

“To see him put as much as he has into this,” McCarthy said, “it makes me feel bad for him.”

McCarthy added that he “can count on one hand” how many times Bulaga has left the field in the middle of a practice because of an injury.

Now, it appears he’ll be sitting out a lot more.

AAU BASKETBALL

Magic coaches start own program Nichols-Hogle, husband start Chicago Vizion jarnold@shawmedia.com

For more information on Chicago Vizion Basketball, visit the club’s Facebook page at facebook.com/ chicagovizionbasketball or email the club at chicago.vizion@ gmail.com.

In the four years Jen Nichols-Hogle coached for the Illinois Magic AAU basketball program, she always harbored bigger dreams.

There would come a day, the former Woodstock and University of Dubuque standout believed, when she would run her own club, shaping local talent into players capable of competing at the next level.

But Nichols-Hogle – now the girls coach at Alden-Hebron – believed making that jump was years down the road.

But after Nichols-Hogle and her husband, fellow Illinois Magic coach Andrew Hogle, underwent successful kidney transplant surgery last month – Hogle as a receipient and Nichols as a donor – the couple decided they were ready to venture out on their own.

On Monday, Nichols-Hogle

and Hogle introduced Chicago Vizion Basketball, an AAU program designed for boys and girls between the sixth and 12th grades. The club, which still is in the development stages, is set to begin this fall with a training program before it shifts over to a middle school competitive season for both girls and boys over the winter.

The club will be based in Crystal Lake, but will draw players from around McHenry County as well as from surrounding areas such as Belvidere, Elgin and Wauconda.

“It just kind of hit us that life is really short and there’s no reason to hold yourself from dreams,” Nichols-Hogle said Tuesday. “That’s what motivated us to say, ‘You know what, there’s no better time than now to go for our dreams

Senior boys division competitor Matthew Van Herzeele hits his ball out of a sand trap Tuesday during the first day of MCJGA Crystal Woods Open at the Crystal Woods Golf Course in Woodstock.

MCJGA CRYSTAL WOODS OPEN

Schlimm leads by 1 Walker leads junior division

By PATRICK MASON pmason@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Every two weeks over the course of the summer, Crystal Lake Central senior Paul Schlimm traveled more than an hour to Cog Hill Golf Club in Lemont to work on his golf game with his coach for about two hours.

He noticed a glaring flaw in his game, so this past week he had been focusing on being more consistent with each of his shots while improving his play with wedges. The practice proved helpful as he saw his hard work pay off during his round on the first day of the McHenry County Junior Golf Association’s two-day tournament at Crystal Woods Golf Club.

“I haven’t been putting too well, and normally I would miss greens,” Schlimm said, “but today I only missed one and I was always within 15 feet, which made my par and birdie putts much easier.”

His increased accuracy led him to a tournament-best even-par 72 and a one-stroke

lead in the senior division. He will be playing in Wednesday’s top group in the second round and will tee off at 8:42 a.m. with Noah Radwanski (73) and Jack Ramsett (74).

Schlimm’s round was highlighted by a series of birdies – five over the course of six holes. He birdied holes five, six, seven and eight before bogeying the ninth, but redeemed himself by sinking his birdie putt on the 10th.

He was 2-under for the day near the end of his round but a double bogie on 17 sent him back to even.

His strong play is encouraging and has boosted his confidence a bit as the Tigers have their golf tryouts next week.

The tryouts span three days with one of the days being at Crystal Woods, so Schlimm hopes that playing well here is a good sign.

“I’ve been working really hard and I found it today,” he said. “Hopefully, this is a nice push in the right direction.”

Billy Walker led the way for the boys in the junior division after carding a 73, which was good enough for a three-stroke lead over Kyle Irlbacker (76) and five ahead of eighth-grader Cameron Karney (78).

Karney, who has found

himself in first place and in the middle of the field during MCJGA events, had himself a nice day even though he admittedly had trouble with his putter.

“I couldn’t make any putts, really,” he said. “I two-putted every hole except 16 and 18, and the only difference there was I was able to get closer to the hole.”

He hit 10 greens during his round, which can be traced to his solid approach shots, something he has been working on after having trouble earlier when he was, “hitting my irons all over the place at the beginning of the summer.”

Karney headed to the practice putting green after his round to clean up issues before tackling his five-stroke deficit in Wednesday’s second round, a hole he says he can dig out of by making a few more putts.

Elsewhere, Larisa Luloff grabbed the early lead by shooting a 40 during her ninehole first round in the girls senior division, just ahead of Gillian Young (41) and Bailey Bostler (43).

The girls junior division was tightly contested as Sophia Archos and Lauren Kalamaras each fired 55s, and they enter the second round with a sixstroke lead over Megan Selby.

and start our own program.’ ” Nichols-Hogle and Hogle already have started building a staff, reaching out to coaches from around the area who have expressed an interest in being part of a different type of AAU program. Rather than focus on blue-chip players destined for Division I programs, Nichols-Hogle said Chicago Vizion will turn players with potential into “one heck of a ballplayer and one heck of a kid.”

Nichols-Hogle understands it will take time to shape the program into one that is competitive with other more established AAU programs. Although the decision to leave Illinois Magic came as a surprise to Magic owner Eric Samuelson, Nichols-Hogle said she and Hogle can’t wait to get started on building the area’s newest club basketball program.

“It’s kind of hard to say how long it’s going to take our program to get there, but we feel with our connections, our resources and our relationships, we’re already there,” she said.

“It’s stressful, but honestly, we’ve never felt happier than we do right now.”

Listening to Yankees manager Joe Girardi talk about Alex Rodriguez the other day, I was reminded of the “Seinfeld’’ episode in which George suggests that Jerry pitch a show to NBC about nothing.

Jerry: “I still don’t know what the idea is.”

George: “It’s about nothing.”

Jerry: “Right.”

George: “Everybody’s doing something; we’ll do nothing.”

Jerry: “So we go into NBC, we tell them we’ve got an idea for a show about nothing.”

George: “Exactly.”

Jerry: “They say, ‘What’s your show about?’ I say, ‘Nothing?’ ” George: “There you go.”

Jerry: “I think you may have something there.”

I don’t mean to pick on Girardi, who was in a difficult spot Monday with A-Rod’s decision to appeal a long suspension for alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs. He was trying to back, sort of, a player who can’t be backed. But I was struck by how narrow Girardi consid-

ers his job duties to be when it comes to Rodriguez, who, by all indications, has been a walking syringe for years.

It leads to the eternal question: What the heck do managers do, anyway?

Here are a few things Girardi said about Rodriguez during Monday’s pregame media session. If you didn’t know better, you’d think being a manager is a profession about nothing.

“I’m not here to judge people. That’s not my job.”

“I’m not going to [give him] advice on how to handle [the situation]. I don’t think that’s my position.”

“I’ve never asked him [if he’s clean], and I don’t necessarily think that that’s my place right now. My conversations have to do with what we need to do on the field and not what you do off the field.”

The best managers know that dealing with struggling players away from the field is their biggest job. Apparently, A-Rod is too far gone for any intervention. Or maybe Girardi knows it’s in his best interest to keep a distance.

VIEWS Rick Morrissey What makes a good manager? A good manager has good players. A bad manager has bad players.

Too simplistic for you?

Take a look at Robin Ventura and his role in the White Sox’s sad, underachieving season. He told media members Monday that it’s all his fault. No, it isn’t. It’s not his fault the Sox are awful offensively. A manager can’t make Adam Dunn hit better.

Ask Ozzie Guillen. A manager has very little control over hitters’ performances.

Defense and mental mistakes are a different story.

Those are on the manager.

Making players do extra defensive drills can help make errors go away. Extra batting practice doesn’t always translate into better hitting.

Last week, Cubs manager Dale Sveum helped show Julio Borbon the door after the reserve outfielder

made another base running blunder. The move resonated with law-and-order types, but it’s interesting how often in sports the person being made an example of is a nobody.

You’ll see NFL teams similarly cut kickers when things are going south.

Is that good coaching/ managing?

Ventura was a good manager last season, when the Sox went into the last week of the regular season with a chance for a division title.

He’s a bad manager this season because his players forgot how to be good baseball players. The talk from critics that Ventura isn’t pulling the right strings during games?

Just talk.

As Sox first baseman Paul Konerko said a few years ago, there are very few strategic situations that arise during a game that call for creativity.

In other words, most decisions follow the book, and any player, coach or manager who has been around the game knows those decisions in advance. That would include Ventura.

The talk that his sleepy demeanor has made his team sleepy? Funny, but it wasn’t an issue last season.

There have been lots of calls for Ventura’s head.

That’s what people do when a team is going bad. The fact that he didn’t want to sign a contract extension before the season made people wonder whether he wanted to be a manager. I thought it was a sign of a healthy human being.

It’s a difficult job, and if your heart isn’t totally in it, there’s a decent chance you’ll wake up each day hating yourself.

He now says he wants to be back, but fans who want him out have used his earlier hesitation against him. He’s not all in, they say. Not fully committed, they say. A bad manager, they say.

When you figure out what a good manager is, please let me know.

THIS DATE IN BASEBALL Aug. 7 1956 — The largest crowd in minor league history, 57,000, saw 50-year-old Satchel Paige of Miami beat Columbus in an International League game played in the Orange Bowl.

2004 — Greg Maddux became the 22nd pitcher in major league history to reach 300 victories, leading the Cubs to an 8-4 victory over San Francisco.

2007 — San Francisco’s Barry Bonds hit home run No. 756 to break Hank Aaron’s storied record with one out in the fifth inning, hitting a fullcount, 84 mph fastball from Washington’s Mike Bacsik. Noticeably absent were commissioner Bud Selig and Aaron. The Nationals won the game, 8-6.

Sandberg says Cubs gave him ‘fair shake’

By GORDON WITTENMYER Chicago Sun-Times PHILADELPHIA – Ryne Sandberg said he has no regrets about the four years he spent toiling as a manager in the Cubs’ minor-league system without getting a sniff at the big-league job he sought any of the three times it was open in that span.

“None at all,” he said.

But sources close to the Philadelphia Phillies’ thirdbase coach say what the Hall of Famer won’t admit: that his experience getting continually denied by the franchise he helped revive a generation ago has left him with a “bitter taste.”

Don’t look now, but the Cubs might be about to find out – maybe next season – whether they’ll have any regrets of their own for letting the North Side icon get away.

Sandberg, who left the organization after Mike Quade beat him out for the managing job before the 2011 season, has been treated since then like a prized addition to the Phillies organization that originally drafted him in 1978.

After two years managing the Phillies’ Triple-A team, Sandberg joined the big-league staff this season, and many expect him to succeed manager Charlie Manuel, who’s in the final year of his contract.

Along the way, he was bypassed again by the Cubs’ new regime when Dale Sveum replaced Quade – after Cubs president Theo Epstein said he’d been impressed with Sandberg during a previous interview for Boston’s Triple-A job.

“There’s no guarantees that come with anything,” Sandberg said when asked about being on the brink of the long-sought manager’s job, saying he’s focusing only on his job at hand, which on Tuesday meant grabbing a couple of young players for

“It’s hard to say,” said Barney, who last year became the Cubs’ first second baseman since Sandberg to win a Gold Glove. “That’s almost unfair to Quade and Ryno, as well.”

But, he added, “I think Ryno would be a great fit for any big-league ballclub, especially a team like [Philadelphia] that has the veterans that they have.”

Would that help get the Phillies back to the playoffs for the first time since 2011?

Would the retooling Phillies get there before the rebuilding Cubs?

And would any of that help sweeten any lingering “bitter taste” for the Cubs’ estranged legend?

“I got a fair shake,” said Sandberg, who makes his Wrigley return in a Phillies uniform Aug. 30. “[The Cubs] gave me a job for four

years that led me down the path of where I’m at today, in the big leagues.

“There’s no unfairness in baseball. I’ve been around long enough to know that things aren’t handed to anybody, whether you’re a player, whether you’re a batboy, a clubhouse guy.

“What I wanted to do, after going into the Hall of Fame in 2005, was to get back into the game full-time. The Cubs gave me that opportunity, and I was able to do it up to Triple-A. ... Quade was the guy for the job [in 2011].

That’s baseball.

“I’ve been around long enough to know that.”

CHICAGO – Adam Dunn has seen his best White Sox pal, Jake Peavy, traded to Boston. He has watched veteran relievers Jesse Crain and Matt Thornton get dealt, too.

Dunn said his feelings won’t get hurt if he goes, too.

But if he were the general manager, he’d keep himself around. Dunn doesn’t think the Sox, who beat the New York Yankees, 3-2, on Tuesday night for their second straight win, are that far away from being good again no matter what the record says.

“If we keep the same core group, there is no way we can be this bad with our pitching,’’ Dunn said. “Offensively, we have guys who can play.

We just couldn’t get the big hit. And defensively, I don’t think that’s going to happen again.”

The trade deadline has passed, and Dunn still is part of the core. He never was much of a target before the deadline, but as his average and production continues to climb – as it has since early June – the possibility of going to another team in a waiver deal increases. The Texas Rangers need a bat, and other contending teams could benefit from the left-handed slugger’s presence. If those teams are willing to assume at least a sizable chunk of the approximate $19 million left on his salary, including the $15 million owed him on the last year of his four-year deal, he could be sent away.

Dunn’s name has popped up here and there on the rumor circuit.

“I figured,” he said.

As always, it depends on what GM Rick Hahn can get in exchange, and whether he’s able to tiptoe through the complicated waiver process.

Dunn believes this season is something of a fluke, and that the Sox can win if the core returns with a couple of additions.

“Unless it’s a complete youth movement, I would like to be here next year, 100 percent,” Dunn said. “I think I would love a youth movement, but I definitely don’t want to be here where it’s doing this [losing] again. I can’t take it … and I don’t think anybody can. I don’t think Rick will take that. I don’t think Jerry (Reinsdorf) will take that.”

If Hahn sacrifices 2014 for 2015 and ’16, “then obviously I’m not here,” Dunn said. “I get that. If it’s a complete youth movement, I won’t be here. It won’t hurt my feelings.”

White Sox starter Chris Sale tips his cap to the fans after leaving the game against the Yankees in the eighth inning Tuesday night at U.S. Cellular Field. The Sox won, 3-2.

Next vs. N.Y. Yankees, 7:10 p.m. Wednesday, CSN, AM-670

Hahn’s top future resource, his good, young pitching, was on display again Tuesday.

All-Star left-hander Chris Sale, while never finding his best command, had his good stuff and held the Yankees to one run on five hits over 7⅓ innings. Sale, who was 1-9 over his past 11 starts despite a 3.23 ERA, lowered the starters’ collective ERA to 2.60 over the past 12 games.

Remarkably, the Sox earned only their second win during that stretch.

Conor Gillaspie singled in Dunn, who had singled, in the fourth; Paul Konerko beat out a double play to get a run home in the sixth and Alejandro De Aza doubled in Gordon Beckham (double) with two outs in the seventh.

Dunn, who was hitting .306 over his past 49 games, said he feels the same at the plate as when he was going bad early.

He’s hitting the ball the opposite way regularly, beating the shift with more frequency and finding open spaces. His .331 on-base percentage was second only to Beckham on the Sox. Meanwhile, he’s on pace for 38 homers and 100 RBIs. “He’s taking his walks and putting some balls in play the other way,’’ manager Robin Ventura said, “which is starting to move that shift back over a little bit.’’

snitz@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Jordan Lynch answered his cell phone one day in June.

He didn’t expect to hear Archie Manning on the other end.

Manning, the former all-pro quarterback who is more famous for being the father of NFL quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning, was inviting Lynch to be a counselor at the Manning Passing Academy at Nicholls State University in Louisiana.

“It was kind of surreal at first,” Lynch said after Tuesday’s practice at Huskie Stadium, the team’s second of fall camp. “I kind of didn’t believe it.”

Lynch was one of about 30 collegiate quarterbacks to go to Thibodaux, La. from July 11 through 14. Huskies coach Rod Carey certainly wasn’t going to discourage him from attending.

“I was happy for him. Come on, it’s Peyton and Eli and Archie. It’s awesome,” Carey said. “... It was a no-brainer for everyone involved.

You’re invited to something like that, you go.”

Lynch was invited after being added to the Manning Award watch

Stadium symbol of program’s quest to change the culture • STADIUM Continued from page C1 with fresh black paint in each end zone with “HUNTLEY” painted in eye-popping red.

Huntley athletic director Michelle Jakubowski said in addition to football, the stadium will be used for varsity soccer matches and in the future, varsity lacrosse. But for Huntley’s football team – which will play five home games this fall beginning Aug. 30 against Bartlett – the renovated stadium offers an environment Hart said his players can’t help but be excited to play in.

“It’s going to be electric,” Jakubowski said. “The parents, the student body; they’re excited just to have this, but for the players – whether it’s football or soccer or whoever else is playing on this – I just think it’s a whole different ballgame for them.

“I think [the new environment] just pushes them a little bit more. You see what you have out here and you can do that extra sprint or whatever the coach asks of you – that extra mile. This is just something to be really, really proud of.”

Hart, who came to Huntley from Indianapolis Warren Central, said he never has been part of a grassroots movement before in his coaching career. At previous stops, the facilities already were in place.

He said in the past year, he has lost players to injury because of substandard facilities.

But now, he’s confident that the new stadium will go a long way in the process of building Huntley into a winning program after last year’s 6-4

finish.

“I knew what the vision was and I knew what the commitment was – but there was no promises (about facility upgrades),” Hart said. “People always say, ‘Why Huntley?’ and I just loved the desire and the commitment to be outstanding.

“I don’t think you’ll ever see – whether it’s in the classroom, in a theater or on our football field – where nothing will be expected except for the best.”

Kyle Grillot – kgrillot@shawmedia.com

Athletic director Michelle Jakubowski measures seating Friday at Huntley’s renovated football stadium. Huntley will become the first Fox Valley Conference Valley Division school to compete on FieldTurf – an upgrade that is part of $3.6 million in facility upgrades that football coach John Hart says were much-needed in his plan to continue to turn around the school’s football program.

A fast, fresh chowder is ideal for a school night EVERYDAY DINNERS Sara Moulton

Roll with it Skip PB&J and use what’s on hand to pack school lunches with foods kids love

By J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press

K

eeping packed lunches fast and easy doesn’t have to condemn you to a day-after-day-after-day PB&J. If you’re willing to be a little creative, it’s easy to find fast, simple and delicious lunches that will keep both the lunch packer and eater healthy and happy.

The biggest roadblock to that usually is mental. We think of packed lunches in terms of what we grew up with or what lunches are “supposed” to be. And that usually translates into the same dull sandwich or salad over and over again. The solution? Stop thinking in terms of packed lunches. Think of this as just another meal and pack what you – or your little one – loves.

The point isn’t to work hard, just to get creative using the foods you already have on hand. Leftovers should be your No. 1 starting point for any lunch. Look at what you have, then find a fresh way to use it. Did you make too much bacon and eggs at breakfast? Pop some cheese on them and roll them in a wholewheat tortilla for a breakfast-inspired burrito.

Got leftover steak? Pack it. Slice cold, leftover steak as thinly as possible. Then you can pack it as is, perhaps with lemon wedges and a slice of sourdough bread. Or toss the sliced steak with chopped romaine lettuce and a bit of Caesar dressing (pack the dressing on the

side and drizzle just before eating to keep the greens fresh). Or layer the steak into a grilled cheese.

Leftover cooked chicken (variety is irrelevant) also is great in salads. Or pop it into a wrap with some greens. Also try it chopped or shredded and tossed with leftover cooked pasta or couscous or rice and a bit of vinaigrette and some sliced cherry tomatoes. Got more veggies (maybe some leftover roasted or grilled ones)?

Add those, too.

Still prefer to stick with peanut butter and jelly? That’s fine, but who said it has to be on sandwich bread? Mix it up by substituting whole-wheat tortillas, frozen waffles (they’ll thaw by lunch), graham crackers, even leftover pancakes. Or swap out the peanut butter with cream cheese. Or pair cheddar cheese with your strawberry jam and toast it for a fresh take on the grilled cheese.

To help get you thinking creatively, here are two simple lunches that come together in minutes using whatever you have handy – an instant gazpacho (chilled tomato and vegetable soup) and a funky any-way-you-want-it version of “sushi” (don’t worry, neither seafood nor seaweed are involved).

•••••• No, this isn’t real sushi. It is a whole-wheat tortilla filled with meat, then rolled up and sliced into maki-style sushi rounds. It’s fast, easy, delicious and healthy. If you like, add

vegetables (leafy greens and grated carrots work particularly well). You can even accompany this with containers of honey mustard or barbecue sauce for dipping the “sushi.” Want to take this in a different direction? Substitute peanut butter for the cream cheese and a banana for the meats. Sprinkle in a few mini chocolate chips, then roll and slice.

Any-Way-You-Want-It Sushi Start to finish: 5 minutes Servings: 1 1 to 2 tablespoons cream cheese 8-inch whole-wheat tortilla 1 to 2 ounces thinly sliced meat (salami, steak, cooked chicken or turkey, or deli meats, such as ham or prosciutto)

Sometimes it seems that just as we get ourselves fully into summer mode, we need to start thinking back to school.

Oh, no!

During summer, dinner could be as casual and carefree as a backyard picnic or barbecue. But the start of the school year means a return to at least a slightly more formal sit-down dinner most weeknights. If this shifting of gears is catching you by surprise, consider reaching for some “cheating ingredients” to help you get dinner on the table without a hitch.

This delicious chowder recipe makes liberal use of two of my favorite cheating ingredients: store-bought rotisserie chicken and salsa.

I’ve never met a rotisserie chicken I didn’t like. They are paragons of versatility. You can heat one up and pretend you roasted it, or shred it and add it to all kinds of recipes, from chilies and sandwiches to salads and soups. During the hectic fall dinner season, I almost always have a rotisserie chicken in the fridge.

And when the meal is over, I hold on to all the bones and scraps, stockpiling them in the freezer for that rainy day when I have a little extra time to make a stock. Those bones make a killer stock.

Salsa is another ingredient I like to keep handy at all times. An all-purpose condiment that’s replaced ketchup in many households, there’s a salsa these days for every taste: fresh or jarred, mild, medium or hot. And almost all of them are mercifully low in sweeteners. Use the salsa of your choice to set the spiciness of this soup.

Fresh corn is not a cheating ingredient, especially not in August and September. On the contrary, it’s one of late summer’s great stars, built into this recipe not only because it’s absurdly good – try eating freshly picked corn raw right off the cob! – but also because the starch in the corn helps to thicken the broth.

Indeed, after you’ve cut all of the kernels off of the cob, you should scrape the cob itself with the dull side of a knife. The milky liquid that results is another soup thickener (as are the potatoes in the recipe). Finally, at the end of the cooking process, I pureed some of the vegetables – the onions, as well as corn and the potatoes – to make the soup creamy without adding any cream.

I recommend garnishing this soup with homemade tortilla strips. They’re delicious, a snap to cook up, and both fresher and lower in fat than store-bought tortilla chips.

Then again, if you’ve run out of time, use store-bought.

See CHOWDER, page D2 Southwestern Corn And Chicken Chowder With Tortilla Crisps

Spread the cream cheese evenly over one side of the tortilla. Be sure to spread the cream cheese all the way to the edge, as this helps seal the roll shut and keep it from unwrapping. Arrange the meat (and any vegetables you want to add) in an even layer over the tortilla. Be sure to leave about 1 inch of cream cheese exposed along the edges.

Roll the tortilla and fillings into a tight bundle. If the tortilla won’t stay sealed shut, spread just a bit more cream cheese along the edge to help glue it tight. Use a serrated knife to cut the roll into 1-inch rounds.

Fruit snacks go homemade All-natural leathers are tasty, portable and not just for kids

By W. WAYT GIBBS Sweet Raspberry Leather

The Associated Press What does a schoolchild’s packed lunch have in common with a $300-a-head meal at a three-Michelin-star restaurant? These days, both frequently include an edible leather: a puree of fruit (or, in the case of the restaurant, more often of a vegetable, such as tomato or onion) spread thin and dehydrated until it becomes stretchy.

Commercial fruit leathers roll out of factories by the yard, and those served at high-priced restaurants are prepared by expert chefs, so you might think such a modern creation is beyond the means of the home cook.

But it’s actually amazingly quick and easy to make an all-natural fruit leather that is a tasty, healthful and highly portable snack for the lunch box or backpack. My 10-year-old loves the mango chili leather.

And you can use the same technique to create savory vegetable leathers that add interesting, modern touches to traditional dishes. At The Cooking Lab, for example, we put tomato leather on lobster rolls. A little tangle of thin onion leather strips makes a terrific garnish for gazpacho or vichyssoise; apple leather pairs nicely with squash soup.

All you need to make your own leather is a blender, an oven and about 20 minutes of prep time. Edible leathers do need one to three hours to dehydrate – the thicker the layer of puree, the longer it takes to dry – but you can do other things while they sit in the oven. For these recipes, timing is not critical.

There are just three prep steps: prepare the fruit or vegetable by coring, peeling and dicing it; puree all the ingredients in a blender to a smooth slurry; then spread the puree in a thin, even layer onto a silicone baking mat. An offset spatula is an ideal tool for that last step, but if you don’t have one, you can instead wrap six to eight loops of masking tape around both ends of a ruler so it leaves a gap of about 1/16 inch as you draw it across the mat.

Except for leathers made from fruits, such as mango, which are naturally high in pectin, you’ll need to add a smidgen of gelling agent to the puree to get the right degree of stretchiness to the leather. Pectin can work, but its gelling strength varies greatly depending on the acidity of the puree. Xanthan gum, which you can find in the baking ingredients aisle

of bigger grocers, performs more consistently. Xanthan is a natural product fermented from sugars. It is powerful stuff, so measure it carefully; use a digital scale if you have one.

Sweet Raspberry Leather Start to finish: 2 hours Servings: 4 2 cups raspberries 1 tablespoon cooking oil 1/4 cup sugar 0.6 grams xanthan gum Arrange an 11-by-17-inch nonstick silicone mat on a rimmed baking sheet. Heat a food dehydrator to 150 degrees F., or set your oven to its lowest temperature.

Combine all ingredients in a blender, then puree until thoroughly blended, at least 30 seconds.

Working quickly, pour the puree onto the mat and use an offset spatula or other long, flat utensil to spread it into an even layer 1/16 inch thick.

If the puree sits too long in the blender it may set into a custardlike gel; if that happens, blend it again until it becomes fluid enough that you can spread it easily across the mat.

Place the baking sheet in the dehydrator or oven, and dry until leathery and tacky to the touch. A

Vegetables can be used in soup

drying time of 1-1/2 to 2 hours is typical, but the time required can vary considerably depending on the thickness and wetness of the puree layer, the temperature of the chamber, and the humidity of the air. Use the convection setting on your oven if one is available.

When the leather is done, peel it gently from the mat, and use scissors to trim it to individual serving sizes; for use as a garnish, cut it into long, thin strips. To store the leather pieces, roll them individually in waxed paper and then in plastic wrap. The leather will keep for a week when packaged this way.

Mango Chili Leather Start to finish: 2 hours Servings: 4 2 cups peeled and diced mango (about 1 medium mango) 1 tablespoon cooking oil 1 1/4 teaspoons sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons minced red Thai chili or red jalapeño Arrange an 11-by-17-inch nonstick silicone mat on a rimmed baking sheet. Heat a food dehydrator to 150 degrees F., or set your oven to its lowest temperature.

Combine all ingredients in a blender, then puree until thoroughly blended, at least 30 seconds.

Other Fruit Leathers Follow the directions above, but substitute 2 cups cored, peeled and diced persimmons, apples, pears or apricots for the raspber-

ries, and reduce the amount of sugar to 2 1/2 tablespoons. Use more sugar if you or your kids prefer sweeter snacks.

Tomato Leather Start to finish: 2 hours Servings: 4 1 1/8 cups tomato paste 3 3/8 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil 4 1/4 teaspoons red wine vinegar 6 drops hot sauce 3/16 teaspoon xanthan gum Arrange an 11-by-17-inch nonstick silicone mat on a rimmed baking sheet.

Onion Leather Follow the recipe above for tomato leather, but substitute 1 1/8 cups pureed cooked onion or shallot for the tomato paste, and substitute cooking oil for the olive oil.

Chowder hearty enough for a full meal

Speedy Gazpacho

• BROWN BAG Continued from page D1

The real beauty of this soup is that it’s a hearty and complete meal in a single bowl. You won’t need to serve anything else on a weeknight, and it leaves you with very few dishes to clean up.

Keep it simple or make it exciting. Make the gazpacho as directed, then accompany with chopped cilantro, sour cream, shredded cheese or croutons that can be added at lunch. And don’t limit yourself to cucumber. Add whatever vegetables you have handy. Canned or frozen corn, leftover grilled veggies, even grated carrots all would be great.

Three 6-inch corn tortillas 2 teaspoons ground cumin, divided 1/2 teaspoon chili powder Kosher salt 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 cup finely chopped yellow onion 1/2 pound red bliss or Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes 2 cups fresh corn kernels (or

thawed frozen) 4 cups chicken broth 3 cups chopped or shredded rotisserie chicken 1 cup purchased salsa 1 to 2 tablespoons lime juice Chopped fresh cilantro or basil, to garnish (optional) Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange the corn tortillas on a baking sheet, then mist them with cooking spray.

In a small bowl, combine 1/2 teaspoon of the cumin, the chili powder and a pinch of salt. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the tortillas. Using a pizza cutter, cut the tortillas into thin strips. Bake them on the middle shelf of the oven until they are golden and crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.

In a large saucepan over medium, heat the vegetable oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin and cook, stirring, for another minute.

Add the potatoes, corn and chicken broth, bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the

potato is tender. Transfer 1 1/2 cups of the mixture (mostly solids) to a blender and carefully blend until smooth. Return the mixture to the saucepan, add the chicken and salsa and cook until just heated through. Add salt and lime juice, to taste, and water, if necessary, to achieve the desired consistency.

Divide between 4 serving bowls and garnish each portion with some of the tortilla strips and cilantro, if desired.

THE PERSONAL CHEF Debi Stuckwisch One of my clients hired me recently to come to their home and prepare an intimate dinner party for five.

Their diet is gluten-free, and they wanted appetizers, dinner and dessert.

The menu I came up with was humus on red bell peppers, bacon-wrapped water chestnuts, figs with goat cheese draped in prosciutto, and watermelon soup. The entree was grilled horseradish-crusted N.Y. strip steaks and grilled vegetables, for dessert was peach Melba with fresh berries.

They emailed me the next day saying, “Thank you so much for such a lovely dinner that you prepared for me and my family last evening, Chef Debi. Everyone raved about it. It was much better than going to a five-star restaurant.

We really enjoyed it, and everything was so delicious.”

I wanted to share the watermelon soup recipe and

show that even if you are on special diets, you still can enjoy wonderful foods. This watermelon soup is fast, easy and delicious.

Put all items except the garnish in a blender or food processor. I like my Vitamix blender for this. Blend until smooth. If not completely smooth, strain.

Chill for 3 hours. Pour into small tea cups or shot glasses. Garnish with one mint leaf and a watermelon square on the rim of the glass.

Harried phone survey taker pleads for a little respect Dear Abby: I’m hoping you will pass this on to your readers. Many of us these days have to work two jobs to make ends meet. In addition to a full-time job, I work a second one in a call center.

Yes, I’m one of those dreaded people who call and ask you to do a phone survey.

What I would like to remind everyone is we are just people on the other end of the line. I have been cursed at and called names you can’t print in your column. I have had the phone slammed in my ear. A little courtesy would go a long way.

If you don’t want to participate in the survey, that’s fine. We understand that. But have the guts to say, “Not in-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips terested” or “No, thank you,” and show a little respect.

We’re simply trying to do a job, earn a living and pay our bills like everybody else. –

Happy To Be Employed Dear Happy To Be Employed: I am not excusing poor manners, and I do sympathize with your position. But when companies make these incessant calls, they are entering people’s homes without being invited, and it can make some of them very angry, particularly if they have been interrupted while were

eating, working, napping or caregiving.

The people you call might be less hostile if they hadn’t been called repeatedly and asked to participate in these surveys after they had refused four, five or six times and had asked not to be called again. They might be more polite if they hadn’t registered on a “Do Not Call” list that was ignored.

Dear Abby: I am recently retired. I enjoy it, and my daily routine is filled with activities that keep me busy.

My problem is relatives who retired a few years ago who are bored out of their minds. They show up at my home unannounced at all hours of the day and disrupt

my routine. They assume I have nothing to do like them. I am not interested in baby-sitting these people so their wives won’t have to put up with them. What should I do? – Retired In Boston Dear Retired: Tell your relatives – nicely – you have a definite routine and things scheduled you must attend to.

If you feel they would be receptive, suggest they drop by a senior center and ask about what activities it offers or look for volunteer opportunities in the community. Then suggest that instead of dropping by, they CALL FIRST to see if you are available.

Dear Abby: My best friend’s mother has dementia. It is usually worse in the eve-

nings, but she can function during the day – somewhat.

My friend and her husband both work, leaving the mother alone at home during the day with the door locked from the outside so she can’t wander off.

I have told my friend many times how dangerous this is, but she continues to do it.

It makes me sick worrying about her mother, but I don’t know what to do about it. –

Friend In Florida Dear Friend: Your friend and her husband may have the best of intentions, but locking a demented person inside the house is not the answer to their problem. If a fire were to start, she might not be “with it” enough to

know how to put it out or summon help. She could also fall and injure herself.

A better solution would be to find a day-care program where the mother would have company, be entertained and safely looked after. Please suggest it to them. However, if they are not receptive, Adult Protective Services should be notified because the woman’s life could depend on it.

To My Muslim Readers: It’s time for the breaking of the Ramadan fast. Happy Eid al-Fitr, everyone. May God make yours a blessed feast.

Prevalent walk-in clinics are no substitute for primary care Dear Dr. K: What do you think of the walk-in health clinics that are popping up?

Can I use them instead of going to my regular doctor?

Dear Reader: You ask a timely question. More and more Americans are turning to retail health clinics – walk-in medical facilities located in pharmacies, grocery stores and retailers. My one-sentence answer to your question is that it’s a shame they have become necessary.

That’s because I believe the best answer is for every person to have a primary care physician who knows them, and to bring all health problems to that doctor.

So why are people going to these walk-in clinics? The most obvious reason is we haven’t trained enough primary care doctors, and the ones we have are very busy.

As the number of primary care doctors shrinks, patients must wait longer to see a doctor for simple problems such as sinusitis or a urinary tract infection.

No one likes to wait. You can walk into a retail health clinic without an appointment, and many clinics are open nights and weekends.

What’s more, health insur-

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff ance covers all – or a percentage – of the costs of services provided at these clinics, just as it does for care delivered at a doctor’s office.

If you’re hurting and your own doctor is not available, retail health clinics have their place. They are most appropriate when you have a simple health condition that needs immediate medical attention – a respiratory or urinary tract infection, for example. But it’s important that your medical record from this visit reaches your primary care doctor, and that often doesn’t happen.

For more complicated or ongoing medical issues, health clinics are not a substitute for a doctor’s office. The doctors, nurse practitioners and physicians’ assistants in those clinics probably won’t have access to your records. They won’t know what medical conditions you have, the results of your laboratory tests, the medicines you’re on or whether you have drug

allergies. They need to know that information to give you good care.

“What’s the problem,” you might ask? “I can simply give them that information.”

Maybe. But ask yourself if you could, right now off the top of your head, list all of your medical conditions, the results of your most recent laboratory tests, all of the medicines you are taking (and the doses), and every drug you have had an allergic reaction to.

Retail health clinics are often staffed by nurse practitioners, not doctors. Nurse practitioners are required to follow specific care guidelines, and they must keep meticulous records on the care they’ve provided.

Any time you visit a health clinic, get a printed copy of your health record.

Health clinics keep excellent medical records. But it’s up to you to make sure they get to your primary care doctor so that all of your health records are in one place.

PBS sticking to split US-UK ‘Downton Abbey’ airing WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Wednesday, August 7, 2013 • PlanitNorthwest.com/buzz

PBS’ chief executive says she’s sticking with airing “Downton Abbey” after it shows in Britain, spoilers or not.

Paula Kerger said Tuesday the period drama has drawn record ratings for PBS, and the public TV service doesn’t want to tinker with success.

“Downton Abbey,” which will be entering its fourth season, has been airing in the United States after its U.K. season concludes, allowing plot twists to spill online.

But Kerger says word-of-mouth from the British airing helps create buzz and promotion for the U.S. airing.

“Downton Abbey” will begin its new season Jan. 5 on PBS.

Chicago only U.S. stop for Bowie exhibit

‘Bachelorette’ talks about engagement For the past few months, Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried have kept their engagement secret as their season on ABC’s “The Bachelorette” played out. So secret, they went by the code names Sonny and Cher.

To stay connected, they saw each other every other week for long weekends, would video chat and talk on the phone.

“Now we have our own names in our phones,” Siegfried said. “It’s such a milestone. So many firsts!”

The fact Hartsock picked Siegfried came as a surprise to many viewers.

For much of the season, Hartsock said another contestant, Brooks Forrester, was the front-runner. Spoiler websites predicted that Forrester and Hartsock would end up together. But with just Forrester, Siegfried and Drew Kenney remaining on the show, Forrester took himself out of the competition, saying he didn’t feel the same way about Hartsock.

The finale Monday night opened with Hartsock heartbroken about being blindsided, even telling host Chris Harrison she wanted to go home.

She said those feelings were genuine.

“When I was saying I wanted to go home, that’s what I wanted to do,” the 27-year-old said. But it didn’t take long for her to realize Siegfried was the right guy for her.

“He was always perfect for me but it was almost so easy that it was like, ‘Why is he so perfect for me?’ You know what I mean? You almost want to dig for more just to see if it’s gonna be harder, like if it’s gonna be a chase, but [with Siegfried], I didn’t want to ever say goodbye to him, and that’s when I knew he’s the one.”

Both before the cameras and in person, Siegfried, also 27, doesn’t seem troubled that Hartsock also had feelings for another guy so soon before they became engaged.

“I just stayed true to how I felt for her and how I felt about the process. ... I just did a really good job compartmentalizing everything.”

An exhibition on the career of David Bowie will make its only U.S. stop at Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art next year.

“David Bowie is” is at London’s V&A Museum until Sunday.

The V&A Museum curated the exhibit and says it has been staying open until 10 p.m. to meet demand. Attendance has been about 300,000.

The exhibition next goes to the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto and the Museum of Image and Sound in Sao Paulo before coming to Chicago from September 2014 to January 2015. Later exhibitions will be in Paris and the Netherlands.

“David Bowie is” is the first international retrospective of the musician’s five-decade career. It includes more than 300 items, including handwritten lyrics, original costumes, album artwork, set designs and performance materials.

A-Rod return boosts network ratings Alex Rodriguez’s return had an immediate impact for the New York Yankees – on the team’s television network.

A-Rod’s first major league game since October drew the YES Network’s highest rating this year for a Yankees game, even though New York lost 8-1 at the Chicago White Sox Monday night.

YES said Tuesday the game had a 4.34 rating and averaged 393,000 viewers. The previous high was 4.16 rating for a 2-1 loss at the New York Mets on May 27.

The most viewers were around the time of his first at-bat, with the 7:30 to 7:45 p.m. period drawing an 8.22 rating and

756,000 viewers.

Man charged in Kid Rock burglary A 43-year-old man has been charged with trying to break into musician Kid Rock’s home.

Brian D. Keith of Oakland County’s Independence Township was arraigned by video Tuesday in District Court in Clarkston on felony charges of attempted home invasion and malicious destruction of property. Keith asked for a court-appointed attorney and is being held on $75,000 bond.

Keith was arrested Saturday after surveillance photos from security cameras on Kid Rock’s property in Clarkston were released. The photos showed a man ramming the gate last Wednesday and trying to break into the house. The man was on crutches.

Police: Usher’s son nearly drowns Authorities say the son of Grammy-winning R&B singer Usher nearly drowned in an Atlanta pool.

Atlanta police spokesman Carlos Campos said in a report Tuesday the 5-year-old boy fell to the bottom of pool and became stuck in the drain. Campos says it happened Monday afternoon behind a home in downtown Atlanta.

Campos says the housekeeper tried to get to the boy, but was unable to pull him from the drain. The boy was eventually pulled from the pool and given CPR by a man who was working at the home as an audio-visual subcontractor.

Campos says the boy was “conscious, breathing and alert” when firefighters arrived before 4 p.m. He was at the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Scottish Rite.

Laura Ferris, executive director of the Richmond/Spring Grove Chamber of Commerce, works at the chamber office in Richmond.

Chamber turns 20 Steady growth in Richmond, Spring Grove NORTHWEST HERALD RICHMOND – The Richmond/ Spring Grove Chamber of Commerce got its start in August 1993 as the Greater Area Richmond Spring Grove Chamber of Commerce.

“That was a mouthful,” chamber founder Dave Kielpinski said of the original name. “It still may be.”

Kielpinski said he started the chamber “because there wasn’t one, and it needed to get done. I thought chambers were effective in other places, and I thought it would be effective here.”

Kielpinski, a Richmond village trustee and CEO of Lar-Cyn Design, is serving his third term as chamber president.

“We started in August 1993 with a goal to have 100 members by Dec. 31, and on Dec. 30 we got our 100th member,” Kielpinski said.

The first member was Len Swederski Concrete of Spring Grove. Today, the chamber boasts about 225 members.

Kielpinski said it was an economic decision to combine the towns into one chamber. “You need someone to be paid to run something like this.

To be able to pay an executive, we needed to combine the towns, which were too small at the time.”

Laura Ferris has been executive director of the Richmond/Spring Grove chamber for the past year and a half. “She was quite a find for us,” Kielpinski said. “She has an overwhelmingly strong passion for her job. She has great ability to network, meet people and make people feel comfortable.”

Ferris said the role of an executive director is stressful but rewarding. “You have to wear several hats, especially if you do not have a staff,” she said, noting her assistant was let go last November for budgetary reasons.

Before becoming chamber director, Ferris had a career in real estate.

“When I was selling real estate, it wasn’t the checks that were making a difference in my life, it was the hugs at closing. If I can help a busi-

Richmond/Spring Grove Chamber of Commerce What: A 225-member chamber of commerce serving Richmond and Spring Grove.

Members include businesses in McHenry County, Lake County and southern Wisconsin.

Where: For the first five years, the chamber was located in the Memorial Hall building in the heart of Richmond. The chamber moved to 10906A Route 12 in the Associated Bank building. In June it moved to a different office in the same building, 10908B Route 12.

ness stay afloat and help them with their advertising, that’s what I’m all about.”

Ferris said the chamber added 10 new members during a recent week.

“It’s my personal goal to have 300 members by the end of the year,” she said.

“Word is getting out that the chamber is actually doing things for the members.”

Membership is split pretty evenly between Richmond and Spring

8BUSINESS ROUNDUP U.S. home prices vault nearly 12 percent in June U.S. home prices surged 11.9 percent in June from a year earlier, reflecting stronger demand amid a tight supply of homes for sale.

Real estate data provider CoreLogic says home prices climbed last month on an annual basis in 48 states. They fell only in Mississippi and Delaware. And all but one of the 100 largest cities reported price gains.

Home prices grew 26.5 percent in Nevada on a year-overyear basis to lead all states.

CoreLogic also says prices rose 1.9 percent in June from May, the 16th straight monthover-month increase.

Steady price increases are the latest sign of a recovery in housing. Stable job gains and still-low mortgage rates have encouraged more Americans to buy homes. Greater demand, along with few homes for sale, has helped push up prices.

Grove, “but we have members from Antioch, Crystal Lake, Fox Lake, Genoa City, [Wis.], Hebron, Johnsburg,” and continuing down the alphabet to Woodstock. “We’re all over,” Ferris said.

“What I tell my new members is that it’s great to use your chamber because it’s very affordable marketing and advertising for you. However, just realize that any proceeds we get from our events stay in Richmond and Spring Grove.”

She said funds raised from the recent Charity Auto Show will go to the Richmond Food Pantry. Other chamber events coming up include the Twilight Golf Outing on Aug. 30 and the Fall Wine Walk on Sept. 28.

At the end of August, the chamber will unveil its new website design, which will include a mobile app and advertising banners available for chamber members. “It will be user friendly,” Ferris said, and it will have the same address, www.rsgchamber. com.

The traffic along Routes 12 and 173 is enough to attract any business to Richmond or Spring Grove, but there’s more to it, Ferris said. “It’s that hometown, quaint shops, the charm of the area,” she said.

U.S. job openings rise in June, but hiring falls WASHINGTON – U.S. employers in June advertised the most jobs in five years but hired fewer workers, a mixed sign for the recovering job market.

The Labor Department said Tuesday that job openings rose 29,000 in June from May to 3.94 million. That’s the most since May 2008.

Total hiring, however, declined 289,000 to 4.2 million. That’s down from a year earlier and the biggest one-month drop in hiring since June 2010.

The job market is improving, largely because layoffs have fallen to pre-recession levels.

But while employers are no longer cutting jobs, many remain reluctant to hire in the face of tax increases, federal spending cuts and slower global growth.

The report on Job Openings and Labor Turnover comes after the government said Friday that employers added 162,000 jobs in July, the fewest in four months. Last week’s report showed all jobs added, minus the number of people who were laid off, quit or retired.

IMF sees stronger growth in Germany next year BERLIN – Germany will see stronger economic growth next year as the country benefits from low unemployment, solid public and private finances, and a gradual recovery in the rest of Europe, the International Monetary Fund said Tuesday.

In its latest country report on Germany, the Washingtonbased IMF stuck by its forecast of 1.3 percent growth next year, up from the 0.3 percent predicted for in 2013, if economic trends hold. The German government’s last prediction in April had been for 0.5 percent growth this year and 1.6 percent in 2014.

“Germany’s fundamentals remain strong, including public, household and corporate sector balance sheets,” said Subir Lall, the fund’s mission chief for Germany.

Quality helps Americans keep old cars longer

By TOM KRISHER AP Auto Writer TRAVERSE CITY, Mich.

– Americans are keeping their cars and trucks longer than ever, and even with new car sales increasing, the average age will continue to rise, an industry research firm says.

The average age of the 247 million cars and trucks on U.S. roads hit a record of 11.4 years in January, the latest figures available from state registration data gathered by the Polk research firm.

That’s up from 11.2 years in 2012, and nearly two full years older than in 2007, before the start of the Great Recession, Polk said Tuesday.

People are keeping their cars because the quality is so much better and they are trying to avoid the monthly payments, said Mark Seng, a Polk vice president. The annual percentage of cars and trucks sent to the scrap yard has dropped 50 percent since the recession, he said.

“Cars are just lasting longer,” he said.

The company doesn’t see the age dropping for at least five years, even though U.S. vehicle sales are running at an annual rate of around 15.5 million, which is near pre-recession levels. And it predicts that the percentage of cars age 12 or older will actually rise in the next five years.

The change creates a big opportunity for repair shops and auto-parts stores, Seng said.

“Customers from independent and chain repair shops should be paying

close attention to their business plans and making concerted efforts to retain business among the do-it-for-me audience, while retailers have a unique and growing opportunity with potential consumers wrenching on their own vehicles,” he said.

U.S. sales have risen gradually from a 30-year low of 10.4 million in 2009 because of low interest rates, appealing new models and pent-up demand as people replace aging vehicles they kept through the recession.

The sales rebound prompted

Polk to raise its estimate of the total number of vehicles on U.S. roads by 5 percent to more than 260 million in five years.

But Seng said many people intend to keep running their older cars into the future, adding that he can’t remember another time that the average age has grown as quickly.

The growth rate in the average age will slow in the coming years, but won’t start falling until new-car sales rise and stay high for several years.

Challenges face Bezos as he buys the Post

By RYAN NAKASHIMA AP Business Writer LOS ANGELES – Jeff Bezos turned selling books online into a multibilliondollar business that has changed retailing forever.

Many are now anxious to see if Bezos can do the same for the media industry, after the Amazon.com founder announced he is buying the Washington Post and other newspapers for $250 million.

Monday’s news of the sale to the 49-year-old pioneer of Internet commerce came as a shock to observers, many of whom thought the Graham family would never sell. It also sparked hope among the ranks of reporters beset by seemingly endless cutbacks.

Among his champions are the members of the family selling the paper, including publisher Katharine Weymouth, who promised to stay on as publisher.

As some journalists shed tears, others expressed optimism.

“Jeff Bezos seems to me exactly the kind of inventive and innovative choice needed to bring about a recommitment to great journalism,” said Carl Bernstein, whose co-reporting of the Watergate scandal in the early 1970s cemented the newspaper’s identity as a political watchdog.

But the Post, like most newspapers, has been losing readers and advertisers to the Internet while watching its value plummet. The paper has cut its newsroom staff repeatedly in recent years and closed bureaus.

Many see Bezos, whose fortune was valued at $25 billion by Forbes magazine, as being rich enough to sustain the losses the newspaper will likely face over the next few years.

Bezos is buying the newspaper as an individual.

Amazon.com Inc. is not involved.

What do new investors need to know?

If you’re starting out as an investor, you might be feeling overwhelmed.

After all, it seems like there’s just so much to know. How can you get enough of a handle on basic investment concepts so that you’re comfortable in making well-informed choices?

Actually, you can get a good grip on the investment process by becoming familiar with a few basic concepts, such as these: • Stocks versus bonds: When you buy stocks, or stock-based investments, you are buying ownership shares in companies. Generally speaking, it’s a good idea to buy shares of quality companies and to hold these shares for the long term.

This strategy may help you eventually overcome short-term price declines, which may affect all stocks.

Keep in mind, though, that when buying stocks, there are no guarantees you won’t lose some or all of your investment.

FINANCE Steve Middaugh By contrast, when you buy bonds, you aren’t becoming an “owner” – rather, you are lending money to a company or a governmental unit. Barring default, you can expect to receive regular interest payments for as long as you own your bond, and when it matures, you can expect to get your principal back. However, bond prices do rise and fall, typically moving in the opposite direction of interest rates. So if you wanted to sell a bond before it matures, and interest rates have recently risen, you may have to offer your bond at a price lower than its face value.

For the most part, stocks are bought for their growth potential (although many stocks do offer income, in the form of dividends), while bonds are bought for the income stream provided by interest payments.

Ideally, though, it is important to build a diversified portfolio containing stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit (CDs), government securities and other investments designed to meet your goals and risk tolerances.

Diversification is a strategy designed to help reduce the effects of market volatility on your portfolio; keep in mind, however, that diversification, by itself, can’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss.

• Risk versus reward: All investments carry some type of risk. Stocks and bonds can decline in value, while investments such as CDs can lose purchasing power over time. One important thing to keep in mind is that, generally, the greater the potential reward, the higher the risk.

• Setting goals: As an investor, you need to set goals for your investment portfolio, such as providing resources for retirement or helping pay for your children’s college educations.

• Knowing your own investment personality: Everyone has different in-

vestment personalities – some people can accept more risk in the hopes of greater rewards, while others are not comfortable with risk at all. It’s essential you know your investment personality when you begin investing and throughout your years as an investor.

• Investing is a long-term process: It generally takes decades of patience, perseverance and good decisions for investors to accumulate the substantial financial resources they’ll need for their long-term goals.

By keeping these concepts in mind as your begin your journey through the investment world, you’ll be better prepared for the twists and turns you’ll encounter along the way as you pursue your financial goals.

U.S. trade deficit narrows to $34.2 billion in June

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON – The U.S. trade deficit narrowed sharply in June to its lowest level in more than 3½ years. Exports rose to an all-time high and imports declined, signs that economic growth could be stronger than previously thought.

The Commerce Department said Tuesday that the June deficit fell 22.4 percent to $34.2 billion. That’s the lowest since October 2009 and down from May’s imbalance of $44.1 billion, which was revised lower.

Exports rose 2.2 percent to $191.2 billion in June.

U.S. companies shipped more aircraft engines, telecommunications equipment, heavy machinery and farm goods.

Imports dropped 2.5 percent to $225.4 billion. Oil imports declined to the lowest level in more than two years.

A smaller trade deficit lifts growth because it means consumers and businesses are spending less on foreign goods than companies are taking in from overseas sales. The steep decline in the June deficit could lead the government to revise its growth estimate for the April-June quarter a little higher.

Last week the government said the economy grew at a lackluster annual rate of 1.7 percent in the second quarter, in part because trade cut nearly a full percentage point from growth. But the government estimated the June trade figures when calculating its first read on economic growth. The government will offer a more complete estimate for second quarter growth on Aug. 29. That will include June’s upbeat trade figures.

Pierre Ellis, an economist at Decision Economics, said the trade data could add 0.2 percentage point to 0.5 percentage point to growth. He said the estimate could be on the lower end if businesses held lower stockpiles in June after shipping more goods.

The container ship Baghira, foreground, and the oil tanker Seabulk Arctic, rear, are anchored off shore as they wait to enter Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Many economists think overall economic growth has started to rebound in the July-September quarter. Some say growth could near a 3 percent annual rate. A key reason is that several export markets, including Europe, are seeing improvement.

For June, U.S. exports to the 27-nation European Union rose 1.5 percent. That helped shrink the deficit with the region to $7.1 billion.

The deficit with China fell 4.3 percent to $26.6 billion. Through the first six months of this year, the imbalance with China is running 1.9 percent above the same period a year ago.

America’s deficit with Japan rose 2.2 percent to $5.5 billion in June. The imbalance with Canada dropped 13.7 percent to $1.6 billion. The deficit with Mexico fell 9.6 percent to $4.8 billion in June.

Ajay Devgan, an Indian ilm actor, director and producer, said, “By getting into distribution and production, I am actually widening my base.”

Many less-experienced players do not pay as much attention to hand distributions as they ought. In today’s deal, South read the end-position well by counting out the West hand.

North had to open one diamond because one-notrump would have shown only 12-14 points. South was also caught by their system.

Two diamonds would have been an inverted minor-suit raise, showing a stronger hand; and three diamonds would have been pre-emptive, indicating a weaker, more distributional hand.

So South compromised with one no-trump.

Against three no-trump, West led the heart 10. To encourage East to continue hearts, South called for dummy’s king. As declarer hoped, East won and returned a heart, hoping his partner had the queen. South won, played a club to dummy’s ace, then ran diamonds, ending in his hand.

West discarded the spade eight, three clubs and one

heart. East threw one heart and one spade.

When declarer next led a club and West played the 10, South was conident that West had started with 3-50-5 or 3-4-0-6 distribution.

Since the former was more likely, both mathematically and because West would have probably led a club with six of them, declarer called for dummy’s king.

East’s queen dropped, and South claimed nine tricks.

Yes, West should have kept two clubs, but that is easier said than done when having winners in another suit.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - Some of your more successful endeavors in the year ahead could be under the radar. You’ll find that you don’t need much acknowledgement or applause, just the gratification of a job well done.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be extremely careful as to how you delegate assignments. If you select the wrong person for the job, you could end up with a big mess on your hands.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don’t let yourself get drawn into a disagreement between two friends.

Regardless of which pal you side up with, your involvement will only cause more trouble.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Just because things are going smoothly at present, don’t be indifferent to an important matter. Complacence could be your worst enemy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- It’s always smart to be extra careful about what you put in writing and to keep close track of the details of past agreements. You’ll need to tread carefully today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Don’t look for much help regarding a financial problem. Unfortunately, you’ll have to take care of matters all by yourself. Do your best; things will eventually get better.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you’re thinking about teaming up with somebody for a special endeavor, be sure that your partner can make a worthwhile contribution. You don’t want to be saddled with dead weight.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- This might not be a good day to get involved in something that requires total concentration and consistency. These qualities might not be your strong suit at present.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If, for some reason, you’re feeling reluctant to attend a social engagement, it might be better to pass it up rather than go and make a bad impression.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Don’t depend on Lady Luck to intervene and help you out; you’re on your own this time. If you hope to get what you want, roll up your sleeves and get to work.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It’s best that you more or less keep your trap shut today because there is a good chance your comments will be misconstrued and cause you to be seen as the bad guy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- More discipline than usual might be required if you’re going to stay on budget. Extravagant urges could easily overpower you if you’re not careful.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you find yourself making a legal commitment, be sure to get the very best counsel available. It wouldn’t be wise to depend solely on your own judgment.
