CL in dispute with D-155 Mayor: Lawsuit among city’s options in stadium renovation fight

Illinois number nears 25-year high By JIM SUHR The Associated Press The number of Illinois children killed by abuse or neglect over the past year likely will be the state’s most in a quarter century, Illinois child welfare officials announced Thursday in imploring citizens to report suspected mistreatment of youths before it turns deadly. A new report by the Illinois Department of Children & Family Services showed 94 of the 223 deaths investigated during the latest fiscal year that ended June 30 involved credible evidence of abuse or neglect. With 45 cases still being investigated and awaiting an official ruling, the number of abuse-related deaths – what the department terms “indicated” cases – appears likely to surpass the state’s previous high of 102 in fiscal 1989. There were 90 indicated cases statewide over each of the previous two years and 69 during the 2010 fiscal year, according to the DCFS tally it has kept since 1981. Three of every four deaths linked to abuse or neglect involved households with no prior contact with DCFS, spokesman Dave Clarkin said. “That’s why the department has been urging relatives, neighbors and friends

CRYSTAL LAKE – A dispute between District 155 and the city of Crystal Lake over football stadium renovations at Crystal Lake South High School could end up in court. Mayor Aaron Shepley told the Northwest Herald on Thursday the district’s unwillingness to meet city zoning requirements leaves the city with two options: ignore neighbors

who have complained about the proximity of the renovation to their property and turn a blind eye to city zoning ordinances or file a lawsuit against the district. “I don’t think we have any intention of turning a blind eye,” Shepley said. Shepley said the football stadium is in violation of three zoning requirements. First, a structure must be 50 feet from the property line

GENERAL INFORMATION: 815-459-4040

Can plants sense a lack of green thumbs? My office at work is not so new now. I’ve occupied it long enough to kill off the wisp of a plant that I inherited. I don’t know what kind of plant it was. It had a stem that was almost like a trunk, and it had several green leaves at the top and midway to the top, and it was in quite a large pot, much larger than a plant its size would need. It was sitting in a corner, out of the sunlight. So I moved it to a spot where it might catch some morning sun, and I watered it. And over the months, its leaves dropped off one by one, dying a slow death and depressing me when I saw the two stubs of stems coming out of the soil, with withered, pale green foliage ready to drop. It was dead. So I took it home, pulled the plant out of the pot and gave the two stems a decent throw into the pile of sticks in the far corner of our lot. I left the pot on the side door stoop to remind me to replace it with something new. A few weeks ago, I remembered the plantless pot when I was at the nearest Superdooper Center, and I wandered into the garden depart-

8LOTTERY

VIEWS Dick Peterson ment looking for a replacement. And it wasn’t going to be the same kind of plant because it seemed to require something more than I could offer. It was temperamental. I didn’t need attitude. Instead of one plant, I chose two, both of them lush with foliage, both of them appearing to be of the philodendron family. And philodendron, from what I remember of them, are nearly indestructible, the cockroaches of potted plants. They thrive in the low light of an office. And I even had a window that catches the east sun. The plants were lush, but I just knew their roots were packed tight in their pots. Just a guess on my part, figuring the store was doing what it could to keep overhead down. So I bought plastic pots the next size up, and I bought enriched potting soil and some fertilizer sticks. Sure enough, the roots of the plants were packed tight inside, and they needed some room to stretch

out, so I repotted them. And now they have taken over the end of my extra-long desk nearest the window. I was going to give these plants everything I could think of. I’ve had them for two or three weeks now – I should have marked the date on my calendar so I could celebrate their anniversaries, but I wasn’t thinking about parties, just plants – and they are doing fine. Oh, but they are more than plants. They are as close to office pets as is reasonable to expect. They don’t bark or meow or make any noise. They don’t listen to commands. They don’t want to be petted. They haven’t started shedding, but it’s only been a few weeks. I do not proclaim to be a gardener. I planted grass seed this spring along the south side of our garage, and I watered it twice a day, according to the directions. And some grass grew, but it was not thick. In fact, it is thin, and plenty of brown is mixed in with the green. If you can’t grow grass, well, there’s not much hope for the higher life-forms. I mean, grass is the lowest plant life-form next to the weed. Look at all the lawns that cover our

landscape and all the mowing that is done to keep the grass at bay. Grass should be easy to grow. Too easy, even for the novice. So, I don’t have a lot of hope for these plants. They are on the end of my desk, and the fit between the window and the desk is kind of tight, and I try not to brush up against them, but try as I might, I usually can’t help but touch them. And I am sure they don’t like to be touched. I’m waiting for the first leaf to fall. It’s been two or three weeks, and so far, so good. I am pleased to have life – greenery – on top of my desk, and the plants bring me joy, even though they are kind of standoffish. I try and let them be, like the Beatles song. But maybe I should whisper words of wisdom to them. I’ve heard for years that plants like to be talked to, but they make me feel a little awkward. Let it be, let it be.

three black voters have filed complaints, now being investigated by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, that City Clerk Jackie Lawhon made it more difficult for blacks to cast ballots by questioning their residency. The candidates also allege Lawhon abandoned her duty to remain neutral and actively campaigned for the three whites on the ballot. “If the allegations that we have are 100 percent accurate,

Feds: Staff chief got Quinn, Daley trade patronage barbs $433K in kickbacks By SARA BURNETT

The Associated Press

Former worker indicted in probe of grant fraud By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press CHICAGO – A onetime chief of staff to the former head of the Illinois Department of Public Health is accused of accepting $433,000 in kickbacks for steering about $13 million in grant and contract money to purported philanthropic groups, according to an indictment released by prosecutors on Thursday. Quinshaunta R. Golden, 44, becomes the 13th person accused in an ongoing federal investigation into grant and contract fraud in Illinois. Among the money she allegedly pocketed were parts of grants set aside for breast and prostate cancer programs, and for HIV/AIDS awareness and emergency preparedness. The indictment released by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Springfield accuses Golden of bribery, theft and mail fraud, as well as obstruction of justice for allegedly attempting to talk one potential witness into lying to investigators. A conviction on the obstruction count alone carries a maximum 20-year prison sentence. The accusations stem in part from Golden’s time as chief of staff to then-agency head Eric E. Whitaker, a

friend of President Barack Obama’s who has not been accused of wrongdoing. She was chief of staff from 2003 to 2008, when she took a position at the University of Chicago Medical Center, the indictment says. A message seeking left at a residential number for Golden seeking comment on the indictment wasn’t returned, and court filings did not immediately include a name of a defense attorney. Golden is scheduled to make an initial appearance Aug. 23 in U.S. District Court in Springfield. The indictment says Golden took steps to ensure $11 million in grants went to three not-for-profit groups, Broadcast Ministers Alliance, Access Wellness and Racial Equity, and the Medical Health Association – all controlled by Leon Dingle Jr. Part of the alleged scheme involved Dingle hiring someone as a consultant. The consultant was paid more than $1 million in grant money via Dingle and then half was kicked back to Golden, the indictment says. There was a similar setup with $2 million in contract money Golden arranged for a security firm, the document says. Dingle, his wife and two others were indicted last year for allegedly using at least $3.7 million in state health grants to pay for vacation homes, yacht club memberships, cars and other personal expenses. They pleaded not guilty and will go to trial in December.

CHICAGO – Former White House chief of staff Bill Daley ripped Gov. Pat Quinn Thursday for playing “the usual politics” by appointing an influential Democrat to a Chicago transit board – comments that drew a quick rebuke from Quinn that Daley should take a look at his own family before making accusations of political patronage. The back-and-forth between the two Chicago Democrats was an early sign of what’s to come in the 2014 Democratic primary for Illinois governor. Daley, the only candidate so far to announce he’ll challenge Quinn for their party’s nomination, repeatedly linked him to former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who was governor when Quinn was lieutenant governor and who’s now imprisoned on corruption charges. Quinn,

Bill Daley

meanwhile, sought to remind voters of the long history of patronage at Chicago City Hall when Daley’s father and brother were mayor. At issue is Quinn’s appointment of Thornton Township Supervisor Frank Zuccarelli, of the south Chicago suburb of Calumet City, to a $25,000-a-year post on the Chicago Transit Authority board. Daley called it “a disgrace” because he said the appointment violates at least the spirit of a law that says CTA board members shouldn’t hold other government offices or jobs for which they are paid.

Quinn announces $47M for Cook County hospitals

SPRINGFIELD – Hundreds of thousands of visitors were expected to descend on Springfield for the 160th Illinois State Fair, which began Thursday. During the 10-day event, fair goers will be able to chat with an Abraham Lincoln impersonator, watch the Budweiser Clydesdales and bite into deep-fried Oreo cookies and other treats. The fair’s music lineup includes performances by country stars Toby Keith and Kip Moore, pop artist Ke$ha, rock musician John Mayer and the band Journey. The grandstand will also host harness racing and auto racing on some days.

CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn says the state will provide $47 million in grants to improve several Cook County-area hospitals. Quinn announced the grants Thursday at Mercy Hospital in Chicago. He was expected to announce more grants later in the day for hospitals in central and southern Illinois. The Chicago Democrat said the grants will create construction jobs and help the hospitals better serve patients. The grants include $3.5 million for Mercy Hospital, at 2525 S. Michigan Ave., to renovate its patient tower.

carelli, they should look in their own family,” Quinn added. He then noted that former Chicago Mayor Richard Daley once appointed his former campaign manager to be chairman of the CTA board. Asked by a reporter what he thought about cronyism under his brother, Bill Daley responded: “Last I checked he’s not running.” He also said he wasn’t in a position to speak up at that time because he wasn’t in public office, and that voters should listen to what he has to say and not have “a preconceived idea about what may have been the case or the norm” years ago. “I believe a leader’s got to change things,” Daley said. “Maybe people will learn that I’m not what they think I am.” Daley said if Quinn won’t withdraw Zuccarelli’s nomination, state senators should reject it.

He also said it reeks of political patronage because Zuccarelli – who represents the state’s largest township as a Cook County Democratic party committeeman – is expected to endorse Quinn for governor when the county party’s slating committee meets next week. “We’ve all been around a very long time. We know the game. And this is the usual game. All I’m saying is that the usual politics has got to change,” Daley said. Quinn defended the appointment, which he made in June and which must be approved by the Illinois Senate. He said Zuccarelli would be a strong voice for Chicago’s south suburbs, which he says have been overlooked for years by the CTA. And he said state law makes it “crystal clear” that township supervisors are allowed to serve on the CTA board. “People who are complaining about Frank Zuc-

Five people were injured, while more than 1,000 firefighters, 13 helicopters and six air tankers battled the flames as they pushed eastward along the San Jacinto Mountains, Cal Fire Riverside Chief John R. Hawkins said. A man near the origin of the fire suffered serious burns, Hawkins said. Four firefighters were also injured, including two who suffered heat exhaustion. Officials did not have details to release on the other two.

White said he’ll take a lump sum, which will amount to $58.3 million after taxes. The other two winning tickets were sold in New Jersey. But no one had stepped forward to claim either of those two shares as of Thursday afternoon.

Yemeni official: U.S. drones kill 12 The ASSOCIATED PRESS SANAA, Yemen – The U.S. has sharply escalated its drone war in Yemen, with military officials in the Arab country reporting 34 suspected al-Qaida militants killed in less than two weeks, including three strikes on Thursday alone in which a dozen died. The action against al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, as the Yemen branch is known, comes amid a global terror alert issued by Washington. One Mideast official says the uptick is due to its leaders leaving themselves more vulnerable by moving from their normal hideouts toward areas where they could carry out attacks. The U.S. and Britain evacuated diplomatic staff from the capital of Sanaa this week after learning of a threatened attack that prompted Washington to close temporarily 19 diplomatic posts in the Middle East and Africa. Thursday’s first reported drone attack hit a car carrying suspected militants in the district of Wadi Ubaidah, about 109 miles east of Sanaa, and killed six, a security official said.

Military officials in Yemen have reported 34 suspected al-Qaida militants killed in U.S. drone strikes in less than two weeks, including three strikes on Thursday in which a dozen died. beside their vehicle, according to the official. Five of the dead were Yemenis, while the sixth was believed to be of another Arab nationality, he said. The second drone attack killed three alleged militants in the al-Ayoon area of Hadramawt province in the south, the official said. The third,

also in Hadramawt province, killed three more suspected militants in the al-Qutn area, he added. All the airstrikes targeted cars, added the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media. The drone strikes have become a near-daily routine

since they began July 27. So far, they have been concentrated in remote, mountainous areas where al-Qaida’s top five leaders are believed to have taken refuge. But drones also have been seen and heard buzzing for hours over Sanaa, worrying residents who fear getting caught in the crossfire.

Fort Hood trial resumes after lawyer dispute The ASSOCIATED PRESS FORT HOOD, Texas – The soldier on trial for the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood was allowed to continue representing himself on Thursday after the judge ordered his standby attorneys to stay on as advisers, despite their claims that the Army psychiatrist was trying to secure his own death sentence. The military lawyers ordered to help Maj. Nidal Hasan had asked the judge to either scale back their advisory duties or allow them to take over his defense.

Most of those killed younger than 6 months

They believe Hasan is trying to convince jurors to convict him and sentence him to death for the attack that killed 13 people and wounded more than 30 others at the Texas military base. The judge, Col. Tara Osborn, denied that request Thursday in a heated exchange with the lead standby attorney, saying it was clear that the lawyers simply disagreed with Hasan’s defense strategy. Hasan has been largely silent during the trial, and he objected only once Thursday as more than a dozen witnesses testified.

But the attorneys were adamant and said they would appeal Osborn’s ruling to a higher court. “We believe your order is causing us to violate our rules of professional conduct,” said Lt. Col. Kris Poppe, who has said Hasan was trying to fulfill a death wish. Osborn fired back that she had already heard and ruled on such arguments, and she briefly recessed the trial. She later ordered the attorneys to resume their advisory roles and allowed witnesses to begin testifying, including the

only one Hasan briefly challenged. Sgt. 1st Class Maria Guerra told jurors that amid the chaos of the shootings she had to quickly decide who she could save, so she grabbed a black marker and wrote a “D’’ on the foreheads of those she couldn’t. To people lingering over the dead, she shouted: “You need to move on!” When prosecutors asked Guerra to describe the scene, her voice began breaking. “I see bodies. I see bodies everywhere. And I see blood,” she said.

to call our hotline [800-2522873] when they first suspect abuse, rather than waiting until the abuse becomes fatal and they’re getting a call from a coroner or police,” Clarkin said. Explanations for the increase remain elusive, although Clarkin said 60 percent of the children confirmed to have died from abuse or neglect were younger than 6 months old, perhaps reflecting “very stressful, isolated times” parents of infants may encounter. Still, Clarkin said there are encouraging signs: The number of Illinois child deaths over the past six months has dropped – the 18 deaths in July were nine fewer than the same month in 2012, perhaps thanks to the agency’s partnering since January with nonprofit groups and law enforcers to encourage citizens to report suspected abuse before it proves fatal. “It reinforces for all of us the importance of all adults ensuring safe, loving homes for kids,” Clarkin said. “Whether they’re from sleep suffocations, inadequate supervision or death by abuse, all of these deaths are preventable.” The 223 child deaths probed by DCFS over the latest fiscal year was a 14 percent jump over the previous year and the most since the 257 investigated in 1994. Suffocation of infants while sleeping with parents, with blankets or on their stomachs appears to be the leading cause of death among children, despite warnings by the American Academy of Pediatrics against such practices. Other causes of child deaths have been homicides – typically fatal beatings – and inadequate supervision, most often reflected in drownings.

City, district disagree on whether zoning law applies to D-155 • STADIUM Continued from page A1 of neighboring residences, and the bleachers of the stadium are currently 41 feet from the property line. Second, a zoning variation is required when building a structure greater than 600 square feet. Third, the press box and the top of the bleachers are too high, and the district would need to get a height variance from the city. The district also doesn’t have the required stormwater permit, Shepley said. The city has sent the district a stop-work order, which the district has ignored, Shepley said. Going to court with the district is not an ideal situa-

tion and one he would rather avoid, Shepley said, as taxpayers would bear the costs of the legal fees on both sides of the lawsuit. But if the district is adamant in bypassing city zoning ordinances, there might not be another option, he said. “[Going to court] is very undesirable, but the better alternative to ignoring our ordinances,” Shepley said. “If these guys were developers, without hesitation the lawsuit would have been filed already.” District 155 spokesman Jeff Puma said the district does not need to get zoning approval from the city, and needs approval only from the Regional Office of Education, which it has received. “We do have the prop-

er zoning permits from the regional superintendent of schools,” Puma said. “That’s what is required under the Illinois school code. The code is what governs construction on school grounds.” A 2011 decision rendered by the Illinois Attorney General’s Office said “public school districts are subject to municipal and county zoning ordinances, except to the extent that compliance with local zoning would frustrate a school district’s statutory objectives.” But in a letter to city officials, district attorney Dean Krone cited multiple court decisions in support of the high school. Krone outlined four areas of protection, noting the state has authority over public schools, municipalities

cannot enforce zoning restrictions on state property and cities cannot regulate areas of statewide concern. Puma said the bleachers had to be built for safety concerns. The old bleachers were not compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act regulations, and the fire department said the stadium needed a higher seating capacity, Puma said. “The public schools of Illinois, although operated at the local level through a board of education, are considered units of the state,” Krone wrote. “Because a local governmental body does not have the authority to impose its ordinances on state property, it may not control school district property.” The district also did not re-

ceive a stop-work order from the city, Puma said. “We followed Open Meetings Act protocol,” Puma said. “We publicized our meeting minutes on our website. We talked with the Northwest Herald about the project. It was not a secret. We were trying to be as open as possible. “An open dialogue is taking place, and we’re continuing to try and work with [the city].” School representatives are expected to meet with affected residents Monday. This is the first time in the past 26 years the district is claiming it is free to ignore city zoning ordinances, Shepley said. In the past, when schools have wanted electronic signs that are typically outlawed inside city limits, the district has met with the city

to get the request approved, he said. “This action is completely out of character for them, and that makes it all the more curious and disappointing,” Shepley said. Kimberly Maselbas lives on Amberwood Drive and is one of the neighbors affected by the stadium construction. She said work began on the stadium when school let out for the summer, and she was never notified by the district that the renovations were set to take place. “We literally woke up one morning to metal being crunched and bulldozers and the beeping trucks,” she said. “We’re used to living behind the school. It’s an issue of the safety and the disregard of any city rules or laws.”

Powell: ‘The best leaders invest in followers’ • POWELL Continued from page A1 Algonquin Road in South Barrington every August. Powell, whose speech was telecast from South Barrington, said it is his mission as a leader to inspire people to reach beyond themselves. “Even though I am a leader, I’m not the one getting the work done,” he said. “Followers get it done. The best leaders invest in followers and give them what they need to get the job done.” Powell carried the theme of caring for followers throughout his speech before he sat down to speak with Willow Creek Senior Pastor Bill Hybels. “If you want to be a great leader, take care of your troops,” Powell said. “If you want to make sure that you keep moving forward, set a destination.” Speaking with Hybels, Powell addressed racial discrimination and attitudes. Powell said he thinks back to 1958 when he entered what

he referred to as one of the most socially segregated organizations of the time – the U.S. Army. Becoming the brigade commander in the 101st Airborne Division in the mid-1970s held a lot of significance for him. “It was my job to take advantage of the opportunity,” he said. “If I showed them that I was a good commander, [race] was their problem and not mine.” Powell also brought up a name on a lot of people’s minds due to his critical health condition – former South African President Nelson Mandela. “If Mandela sought vengeance, he’d still be in prison,” Powell said. Powell spoke with Hybels about the importance of “getting mad and getting over it” and avoiding an ego. He said he doesn’t believe anyone who acts when they are upset will act in the best way and noted that anger can create dysfunction. “It’s OK to get mad, but you can’t stay mad,” he said. “If people are afraid to come

to you with a problem, the whole organization becomes contaminated.” If Powell could find a “red flag” for leaders who may not set out with the best intentions, he said it would be an ego. “Some people are brilliant and can get the job done, but no one taught them to be humble,” he said. “I’ve never fired a man with an ego, because I usually need them, but I also make sure they will never be in a position to hang their drapes in my office.” Powell is one of 13 internationally recognized speakers set to lecture during the two-day, sold-out event. More than 230 locations throughout the U.S. are participating in live telecast events in addition to other worldwide broadcasts. Susan DeLay of Willow Creek said she expects more than 8,000 people to attend the summit Friday, with an additional 75,000-plus people viewing live telecasts each day. “When leaders get better, everyone wins,” Hybels said.

McHENRY COUNTY: CRIME

FRG man pleads not guilty in escape attempt By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The last time he was arraigned, Dylan E. Draut surprised the courtroom with a frantic escape attempt. He flew past officers and dumbfounded attorneys and down two flights of stairs be-

fore eventually being tackled by a courthouse security officer. On Thursday, the 39-yearold was shackled at the legs and accompanied by additional security. For all intents and purposes, the Fox River Grove man was well behaved as he was arraigned before McHenry County Judge Sha-

ron Prather on charges stemming from the July 8 escape attempt. Escape is a Class 2 felony with a sentencing range of three to seven years in prison. Shortly after being arraigned in July on armed violence and burglary charges, Draut turned and ran from

Prather’s courtroom on the third floor. He was wearing orange jail scrubs and sandals. Draut has pleaded not guilty to all charges. His attorney, Assistant Public Defender Rick Behof, also ordered a psychological evaluation for Draut. His next court date is Aug. 29.

Village Board will look into marijuana recommendation • DEVELOPMENT Continued from page B1 The details haven’t been finalized, but one of the criteria that may be added is that the improvements fit into the plan, Schmit said. Schmit also is looking at ways to streamline the application and approval process, which could take six or more weeks in the past, he said.

The Fox Lake Village Board also will look at the Plan Commission’s recommendation, which would allow medical marijuana cultivation centers in areas zoned agricultural. Last month, the board gave initial approval to zoning changes that would allow medical marijuana dispensaries as a special use in the M-2, or manufacturing, district, which is on Christopher Way and Sayton Road.

BEARS AT CAROLINA, 7 P.M. FRIDAY, FOX, AM-780, 105.9-FM

1st chance for young Bears to prove worth but Friday will begin the four-game opportunity for young players to show they have what it takes to make the 53-man roster, and the injuries should give them even more reps. It also the first chance to see the Bears’ draft picks and how they fare against NFL competition. Here’s a look at five players to watch when the Bears take the field to open the preseason: Kyle Long: The Bears’ first-round pick will be seeing his first NFL action, and he only started six games at Oregon last season. Long is raw, but definitely the future on the offensive line and involved in the only competition to start at right guard with James Brown. Brown has taken most of the snaps with the first team in practice, but Long should see plenty of reps and Bears fans can see how his strength and athleticism translates against an NFL defense.

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@shawmedia.com The first and fourth preseason games often are light on veterans. Expect nothing different from the Bears in their preseason opener Friday night in Carolina. Bears coach Marc Trestman said that if any starters see the field, they will play “minimally” against the Panthers. Injuries have Kyle Long knocked cornerback Kelvin Hayden and defensive lineman Turk McBride out for the season, and kept defensive linemen Julius Peppers and Corey Wootton, linebacker D.J. Williams, offensive tackles Jonathan Scott and Jermon Bushrod, and receiver Earl Bennett, among others, out of practices. The Bears don’t have to settle many battles to start this preseason,

Generally, the only thing that matters in a first preseason game is how quickly we get to the final whistle and the health of all involved when it arrives. But this Bears team is different in a number of ways and it’s possible the preseason opener in Carolina will be, too. Regardless of which players they are coaching, it will be Marc Trestman’s first time in the driver’s seat on an NFL sideline and I’m sure we’ll form certain impressions that will stick with us for a while. Nothing is worth the ridiculous ticket prices NFL teams charge for these exhibitions, but it will be well worth our time to observe how the new sheriff in town runs the show. More than that, what fascinates me about this Bears team is I can’t remember the last time the Bears entered the preseason opener with so many starting positions up for grabs? Both guard positions, right

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush tackle, the No. 3 receiver spot, left defensive end, middle linebacker (because of D.J. Williams’ injury) and the nickelback spot all appear to be open. Perhaps you have Earl Bennett and Williams penciled in as the third wideout and middle linebacker, but my gut and my eyes tell me the powers-that-be don’t. Clearly, the three offensive line spots are being hotly contested, and while Corey Wootton and Shea McClellan will share time at left end, as well as in a three-man rotation with Peppers on both sides, one of the two will emerge as the starter on the left.

DePrey’s best round lands him top honor

Crystal Lake Central senior Lexi Harkins chips on to the eighth green during her round-of-16 match against Alison Lee of Valencia, Calif., in the U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship on Thursday at the Country Club of Charleston in Charleston, S.C. Harkins lost, 3 and 2.

Deep run for Harkins CL Central senior brimming with confidence after making round of 16 By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com All square entering the 18th hole in the round of 32 in the U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship at the Country Club of Charleston in Charleston, S.C., Lexi Harkins desperately needed to deliver a wellplaced shot. Harkins, in a match-play showdown against Ireland’s No. 42-seeded Leona Maguire, watched her approach shot land and roll back, finally stopping only five feet from

the pin to set up a birdie for the win. Harkins, a senior at Crystal Lake Central, calmly sank the putt Thursday to advance to the round of 16, where she lost, 3 and 2, to No. 7 Alison Lee of Valencia, Calif. Harkins, competing as the 55th seed, pulled off the upset by relying on solid putting. It proved to be the difference against Maguire as they were either tied or one of them was 1 up on 17 of the 18 holes. Harkins held the biggest lead, 2 up, through 11 holes, however, Maguire erased her advantage on the next two holes.

“The first match was really close, and I tried to play my best on each hole,” Harkins said. “It was tough mentally, definitely very taxing.” Harkins had about 45 minutes to recover from the tough match and prepare for her round-of-16 match against Lee. A rough front nine put Harkins behind early as Lee went up five holes, but Harkins recovered on the back nine to whittle Lee’s lead to two after 12 holes. Ultimately, Lee managed to hold off Harkins to rally. “It wasn’t pretty, but I had to regroup and play like it was any other round,” Harkins said of the quick turnaround between matches. “ … I got back in at the end [against Lee],-

so I felt I played well overall. It was a good match.” With the tournament over for Harkins, her focus shifts to the upcoming school year, when she will compete for the Tigers. She plans to take a couple days off and relax before getting back to work on the golf course. Harkins also leaves the tournament with an added boost of confidence after winning both of her matches against higher-seeded players. Harkins said it proves she can compete at that level. “The biggest thing is the experience of playing in a U.S. Amateur Championship event and getting so far,” Harkins said. “There’s a lot of things I learned that I can take. It was a great experience.”

Daniel DePrey lists a top-five finish in a Mid-American Junior Golf Tour event and making the cut at the Illinois State Amateur Championship at Makray Memorial among his summer highlights. But those two accomplishments, impressive as they are, cannot top what DePrey pulled off Monday at Bowes Creek in Elgin. The CaryGrove senior followed his firstround 71 – which was par – with a 6-under-par 65, his best round ever, to win the final Illinois Junior Golf Association event of the year. That victory vaulted DePrey from third to first place, earning him IJGA Player of the Year honors for ages 14 Daniel DePrey through 18. “I knew I had to win that tournament [to get first],” DePrey said. “I was 5-under through 10 on the first day and that motivated me to keep it together the entire round instead of breaking down.” DePrey had 25 putts on his career-best round and finished 11 strokes ahead of Orland Park’s Mike Misheck. He is brimming with confidence heading into his fourth varsity season for the Trojans this fall. “I feel really good about my ball-striking and short game,” DePrey said. “I don’t think it could be much better right now.” DePrey works a lot with his friend Paul Schlimm’s father (Paul) and brother (Dan). The younger Paul Schlimm plays for Crystal Lake Central. The DePreys and Schlimms play at Marengo’s Blackstone Golf Club. “My short game’s improved night and day from last year, it’s 10 times better,” DePrey said. “The Schlimms and my dad [Jeff] let me figure things out on my own, then they take a look at it.” DePrey wants to maintain his roll through the high school season and improve his standing with college

BEARS

Blanchard to get a fair shake at QB By MARK POTASH mpotash@suntimes.com There’s no telling what’s at stake for Matt Blanchard as the Bears open their preseason schedule Friday in Charlotte. He’s a No. 3 quarterback with a chance to be the No. 2. A year from now he could be the only quarterback in camp with experience in coach Marc Trestman’s offense. The possibilities aren’t totally up to fate, because Blanchard figures to get a fair opportunity to show what he can do in the preseason. He’s a former Division III quarterback with a knack for winning football games – he was 25-0 as a starter at Wisconsin-Whitewater and had a hand in two national championships. The last team to beat him is St. Rita in the IHSA Class 7A state championship game when he was a star at Lake Zurich in 2006. The 6-foot-3, 225-pound Blanchard is scheduled to play “the last part of the third quarter and the fourth quarter” in Friday’s preseason opener against the Panthers, Trestman said. “He’s going to be heavily involved in managing the game, which is not easy to do in those times,” Trestman said. “It can get a little chaotic. We want to see him keep his poise, be efficient and take his time with the football.” It’s the poise that Trestman will be focused on. “The team will trust him, the coaches will trust him if he can go out there and take care of the football,” he said. “His productivity isn’t as important as his ability to play smart and do the right thing with the ball.” Despite the difficult circumstances of leading third-team players against third-team players in a preseason game, that bodes well for Blanchard. His accuracy makes him a good fit for Trestman’s offense. But it’s his ability to keep his cool and be a quarterback that has made the difference under fire. “It’s just a great, great opportunity for me,” Blanchard said. “Coach Trestman sends a message every day: ‘You make the team in practice, and games give you added value.’ Does playing in the games help you? Absolutely. That’s what I look forward to doing.” Blanchard, an undrafted free agent last season, was cut before the final preseason game but was signed to the practice squad. He was waived with four weeks to go but quickly resigned after the season. The hiring of Trestman, a noted quarterback tutor, is a good career break for him. “No question,” Blanchard said. “It’s an offense that puts a lot on the quarterback’s shoulders. He’s very clear and concise about everything we do – and I’m someone who can appreciate that. It’s very transparent within our reads, within what we’re trying to accomplish. It’s very refreshing to be in a system like that.”

Trying to hang on for another year BOURBONNAIS – Harvey Unga is running for a job. He’s running for his family. And he’s running out of time. When the Bears kick off their preseason Friday against the Carolina Panthers, dozens of players will compete for a handful of spots on the Bears’ 53-man roster. Some will be rookies eager to shine in their first game as a BEARS INSIDER professional. Others will Tom be veterans Musick hoping to coax another season or two out of a bountiful career. None will be like No. 45. Maybe you don’t have the uniform number memorized, but if you have followed the Bears for the past few seasons, then you probably know the name. It belongs to Unga, 26, the Bears’ summertime veteran and wintertime novice. This is Unga’s fourth training camp. He has yet to appear in a regular-season game. By now, others might have walked away. Found another career. Coaching, maybe. Selling insurance. Working construction. All valid, worthwhile options. Yet Unga is not about to let go. He’s an NFL running back. He’s a winning player on a winning team. He’s more than a camp curiosity, a guy who stiff-arms July before being brought down by August. And he’s determined to prove it.

Now comes 2013. Along the way, Unga received permission to leave the team for personal reasons and spent a pair of stints on the practice squad. He was promoted to the 53-man roster before the Bears’ regular-season finale last year against Detroit, but he didn’t play. Now, with a new coaching staff led by Marc Trestman, Unga senses an opportunity. He has received plenty of work with the second- and third-stringers during practice, lining up both at fullback and running back. “A lot of this offense is what we ran at BYU, and I had the opportunity to play fullback as well as running back,” Unga said. “It’s very similar. And it’s fun. I’m doing something that I love with a bunch of guys that I love and appreciate.” The past three seasons are history.

Tailback position settled? 1

Hopefully I won’t be jinxing anyone when I suggest the running back spots on the Bears’ roster for this year might already be settled. Certainly Matt Forte and Michael Bush have nothing to worry about. Armando Allen is a firm No. 3 behind them with Michael Ford and Harvey Unga hoping to push him, but they are at a severe disadvantage. Only Allen brings a “change of pace” presence to the position. As a smaller, scatback type, he even could be a regular factor on gameday with a few plays of his own for third-down situations. A big showing in Carolina from Ford

Continued from page C1 The majority of these battles will take the entire preseason to play out, but it is possible the right tackle, No. 3 receiver and nickel back jobs will be claimed in Carolina. How many times have we seen it early in training camps when players make surprise showings that stick with us and gain momentum regardless of what’s going on around them? Right now, Eben Britton, Joe Anderson and Isaiah Frey clearly are the flavors of the month in Bourbonnais. I could be in the minority on this, but I’m not even sure the third wideout spot is a competition right now. Earl Bennett is out with a concussion and Anderson has been gaining ground all offseason. With Brandon Marshall rehabbing the hip he had surgery on, Anderson got a ton of work in OTA’s and minicamp with

the first and second teams and played consistently well. There are few veterans on this roster who can be replaced by equal or better talents and provide significant salary cap relief by leaving, but Bennett is one. I’m not saying he’s gone, but a big game in Carolina for Anderson could be too much for Bennett to overcome. Nobody saw Britton coming. He was just a guy the Bears added to compete somewhere on the offensive line and, in fact, they had him at guard during the offseason. But he clearly was more comfortable at right tackle in Jacksonville. When both Jermon Bushrod and backup Jonathan Scott went down in practice, Britton was the next man up and performed well. That earned him a chance to compete with J’Marcus Webb on the right side when Bushrod came back, and Webb clearly is perceived as the weak link on this line. In successive

post-practice media sessions this week, Trestman gave a lukewarm review of Webb and then some excited observations of Britton, indicating to me a big game for Britton in Carolina could be the beginning of the end for Webb. The only cornerbacks on the roster with NFL experience other than starters Charles Tillman and Tim Jennings after Kelvin Hayden went down are Zack Bowman and Sherrick McManis. Bowman already has been cut and re-signed once, and both are valued most for special teams. If Frey performs well at the nickel in Carolina, the job will be his. If he stumbles, you can expect to see some new faces in Bourbonnais next week.

Jon Bostic: D.J. Williams’ calf injury has accelerated Bostic’s development, and the second-round pick out of Florida will start at middle linebacker. He has been impressive in practice since Williams’ injury and seems to be picking up the defense quickly. If he can handle the transition to the NFL smoothly in his preseason work, Bostic could lock up a spot as the Week 1 starter at Brian Urlacher’s former position. Joe Anderson: Anderson has played in three NFL games and does not have a catch, but he is the leader in the clubhouse to be the team’s No. 4 receiver. He has competition from Eric Weems, Devin Aromashodu and Marquess Wilson, and all those players are worth watching to sort out the rest of the receiving corps. Anderson has been phenomenal in the offseason,

but what he can do against another NFL secondary. Isaiah Frey: The star of training camp will get his opportunity to prove he can be the Bears’ nickelback, even though he never has played in an NFL game. Hayden’s injury has given Frey the opportunity to take the job, and he did have an interception last preseason. Frey has had propensity to get in the passing lane in practices, and Friday night will be his chance to see if he can hack it as the Bears’ No. 3 corner. Zach Minter: Who? This Bears roster will be tough for an undrafted rookie to crack, but based on training camp, Minter has the best chance. A defensive lineman out of Montana State, Minter is strong and quick, but only 6-foor-1. He has spent the most time with the second team of any of the undrafted rookies, and is the type of player who can make waves in preseason games to land a spot on the roster.

8SPORTS SHORTS Autopsy: QB died from pneumonia, had CTE LANSING, Mich. – A former college football star who disappeared in the Michigan wilderness during a fishing trip died of pneumonia caused by inhaling his vomit, after he became disoriented possibly because of a painkiller combined with having a degenerative brain disease, according to a report released Thursday. The updated autopsy said 30-year-old Cullen Finnerty’s anxiety and paranoia in the woods the night of May 26 might have been exacerbated by an elevated level of oxycodone along with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, the brain disease that has been found in a number of ex-football players. Finnerty’s brain was studied at Boston University, which cautioned that it was highly unlikely the disease – which was moderate – alone led to his death.

James does jury duty, but no trials develop AKRON, Ohio – LeBron James’ court time Thursday had nothing to do with basketball. James was back in his hometown for jury duty, though the Miami Heat star never had the chance to serve as a juror. The NBA’s MVP posted a photo of himself on social media Thursday with the caption: “Jury duty time. Time to serve my civic duty.” James arrived at the Summit County Courthouse around 8:20 a.m., according to the Akron Beacon Journal. But he was sent home along with the rest of the jury pool about 9:30 after two potential criminal trials did not take place.

Pacquiao: My comeback starts in fight with Rio BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – Manny Pacquiao will be coming off the longest layoff of his incredible career when he steps back into the ring in November in Macau. It also will be two years since the former pound-for-pound champion’s last victory. There’s no reason to worry about any of those ominous signs, according to the Filipino congressman. His bout with Brandon Rios will just be the start of his comeback, not a retirement party. “I want to prove that I can still fight, and my boxing career is not done yet,” Pacquiao said Thursday in a ballroom jampacked with international media at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Stewart undergoes 2nd surgery on broken leg CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Three-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart underwent a second surgery on his broken right leg Thursday in North Carolina and remains hospitalized under observation. The surgery was to insert a metal rod inside the tibia, and Stewart-Haas Racing said a specialist pressed the tibia to its correct position. – Wire reports

PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

Scott, Furyk tied for lead 35 players break par in 1st round, Tiger not included

By MICHAEL MAROT The Associated Press

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press PITTSFORD, N.Y. – Adam Scott began the final major of the year with a tee shot deep into the trees. He ended the opening round of the PGA Championship by having to gouge out of deep rough. It was the golf in between that was some of the best he ever has played, even for an Australian with a green jacket. Showing that he’s not satisfied as only being a Masters champion, Scott ran off five straight birdies early in his round Thursday on soft and vulnerable Oak Hill, and a 15-foot par putt at the end gave him a 5-under-par 65 and a share of the lead with Jim Furyk. Adam Scott “Probably the best run I’ve ever had,” Scott said of his five straight birdies. “I just hit really nice shots and didn’t leave myself too much work. You have to take advantage of that if you’re feeling that. It was a dream start after kind of a nervous first couple of holes.” It felt like an easy start to so many others. Oak Hill has such a strong reputation that it has yielded only 10 scores under par over 72 holes in five previous major championships. The last time the PGA Championship was held on this Donald Ross design in 2003, there were only 12 rounds under par on the first day. But with overnight rain, humid conditions and a 71-minute delay for storms in the afternoon, Thursday might be as easy as it gets. Scott and Furyk had plenty of company, two of 35 players who broke par. Tiger Woods was not among them. The world’s No. 1 player made only two birdies despite playing in the still of the morning, and he watched his round fall apart with a bogey on par-5 fourth and a double bogey on his final hole when his flop shot out of a deep rough floated into a bunker. Woods had a 71, not a bad start at Oak Hill, except on this day. “The round realistically could have been under par easily,” Woods

Jim Furyk follows through on his tee shot on the eight hole during the first round of the PGA Championship on Thursday at Oak Hill Country Club in Pittsford, N.Y.

PGA Championship glance PITTSFORD, N.Y. – A glance at Thursday’s opening round of the PGA Championship at 7,163-yard, par-70 Oak Hill Country Club (East Course): Leading: Adam Scott and Jim Furyk at 5-under-par 65 Pursuing: David Hearn and Lee Westwood are a shot back. Tiger watch: Tiger Woods was 2-under through 12 holes, but made bogey and a double at the last to finish at 1-over 71. Key statistic: There were 35 rounds under par. The last time the PGA was played at Oak Hill, only 12 players broke par in the first round. Noteable: The cut is projected at 1-over. If that holds up, it would be the lowest since the 2010 PGA at Whistling Strait. Quotable: “No wonder you guys are on that side [of the room]. You have bad thoughts too often.” – Jim Furyk, suggesting reporters were too negative. TV today: Noon to 6 p.m., TNT.

said. Furyk, who won his lone major at the U.S. Open in 2003 at Olympia Fields, has gone nearly three years since his last win at the Tour Championship to capture the FedEx Cup and win PGA Tour player of the year. Still fresh are the four close calls from a year ago, including the U.S. Open. He was as steady as Scott, rarely getting himself in trouble until the end of the round. Furyk missed

the fairway to the right and had to pitch out because of thick rough and trees blocking his way to the green. That led to his only bogey, but still his lowest first-round score in 19 appearances at the PGA Championship. “Usually disappointed with ending the day on a bogey,” Furyk said. “But you know, 65, PGA, is not so bad.” David Hearn of Canada, an alternate until a week ago, had a 66 in the morning. Also at 66 was Lee Westwood, who had his best score ever in the PGA and offered evidence that there was no hangover from losing a 54-hole lead in the British Open last month. There were no record scores at Oak Hill despite the soft conditions, just a lot of low rounds. “If you don’t hit it in the fairways, then you won’t score well,” Westwood said. “These guys are good. There are a lot of good players playing in the tournament. Somebody is going to hit it straight, and somebody is going to shoot a good score.” Scott certainly didn’t start out that way. He had to pitch out from the trees on No. 1, but managed to get up-and-down from about 85 yards in front of the green, and after two more pars, he began his big run of birdies. “Just got on a bit of a roll and hit a few shots close,” Scott said. “I didn’t have too much putting to do. You’ve got to take advantage when it happens, because it doesn’t happen too much in the majors. Nothing to complain about in 65.”

The NCAA is getting out of the memorabilia business. NCAA president Mark Emmert said Thursday it would stop the practice immediately after reports this week that team jerseys and other items linked to individual schools could be found on its own website by searching for specific player names. “I think seeing the NCAA sell those kinds of goods is a mistake,” Emmert said. “It’s not what the NCAA is about. So we’re not going to be doing that any longer.” The NCAA is being sued by former players and a handful of current college players in federal court over the use of athlete images and likenesses. And just this past week, ESPN reported that the NCAA is investigating Heisman Trophy-winner Johnny Manziel for allegedly being paid to sign memorabilia, which if true could jeopardize eligibility as a violation of NCAA amateurism rules. Emmert said the commercial site won’t be completely removed because there still is a market for generic NCAA apparel. He said the NCAA had hired another company to run the site, ShopNCAASports.com. Mark Lewis, the NCAA’s executive vice president for championships and alliances, also released a statement, saying university merchandise would not be offered, either. “In the coming days, the store’s website will be shut down temporarily and reopen in a few weeks as a marketplace for NCAA championship merchandise only,” Lewis said. “After becoming aware of issues with the site, we determined the core function of the NCAA.com fan shop should not be to offer merchandise licensed by our member schools.” The move overshadowed a news conference that was intended to update reporters about possible changes to the NCAA’s governance structure. Instead, the hot topics became Manziel, NCAA rules and the website fiasco. Board chairman Nathan Hatch was asked whether some of the NCAA rules regarding payments to college athletes should be modified. “I stand by the NCAA’s commitment to amateurism, and I believe the way we’ve done that is the correct way,” the Wake Forest president said. “So I believe the rules we have, we agree with.”

THIS DATE IN BASEBALL 1988 — The Cubs won the first official night game at Wrigley Field by beating the New York Mets, 6-4. 1998 — Dennis Martinez became the winningest Latin pitcher in baseball history, breaking Juan Marichal’s record of 243 victories. Martinez pitched a perfect eighth inning and got the victory when Chipper Jones hit a tiebreaking, two-run single in the ninth inning and the Atlanta Braves held on for the win. 2001 — Mike Hampton tied the NL record for pitchers with his seventh homer as the Rockies beat the Cubs 14-5. Hampton’s seventh homer matched the NL mark shared by Don Drysdale (1958, 1965) and Don Newcombe (1955). The major league record is nine by Cleveland’s Wes Ferrell in 1931. 2002 — Barry Bonds hit his 600th homer, becoming the fourth major leaguer to reach the mark. With a 421-foot, solo shot off Pittsburgh’s Kip Wells, the San Francisco Giants slugger joined Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth and Willie Mays in the exclusive club. 2006 — Mark DeRosa hit three-run homers in consecutive innings to lead Texas to a 14-0 rout of Oakland.

PHILADELPHIA – The rest of Jeff Samardzija’s season just got a lot more interesting. The Cubs’ Opening Day starter and his manager shrugged off the worst start of Samardzija’s career in Thursday’s 12-1 loss to the Phillies, but there’s little denying the team’s ace hasn’t been the same performer he was the first two or three months of the season. And no denying this: How he responds in his final nine starts of the year will have a direct impact on his future with the Cubs – and by extension, the Cubs’ pitching timeline in this multi-year rebuilding process. So if you’re looking for one Cubs storyline worth following the final seven weeks of the season, it’s the everyfive-day drama Samardzija is providing as he tries to build his case in preparation for contract negotiations. Samardzija, who is a can-

Next at St. Louis, 7:15 p.m. Friday, WGN, AM-720 didate to be shopped at next year’s trading deadline without a multi-year extension, admitted after his previous outing that the uncertainty is on his mind. “To say it doesn’t weigh on you is a lie,” he said then. Whether that has anything to do with his uneven results since the end of June is unclear. He’s not willing to go that far. But in 17 starts through June, Samardzija was 5-7 with a 3.34 ERA, the victim of four shutout losses along the way – pitching at least five innings every start and less than six only three times. In seven starts since then: 1-4, 6.75, averaging 5⅔ innings and seven hits a start. That stretch began right about the time his name first came up in trade rumors.

“When you’re good you get paid, and if you’re not very good you don’t get paid,” Sveum said before Thursday’s game. “That’s the bottom line to contracts and contract extensions and all that.” On this day, he faced a Phillies lineup ripe for picking apart – a Ryan Howard-less team that ranked near the bottom of the league in runs (3.8 a game) and OPS (.702) entering the day. But he made it through just 3⅓ innings and gave up nine earned runs – both matching his career worst. And that was after a 1-2-3 inning. Sveum said he didn’t show his best split-finger. Samardzija said he thought that pitch and his slider were OK but that the Phillies had a “good game plan” to attack his fastball. Both said pitching behind in the count made it tougher to use the secondary pitches. Regardless, it’s puts a premium – maybe even a price – on his final nine starts of the season. Twice in the last week alone, general manager Jed Hoyer made it clear the Cubs plan to make a priority out

of trying to get Samardzija signed to an extension in the off-season before he gets into his final year before free agency. “When you have guys like Samardzija get those contracts and you know you’re going to have them for an extended period of time,” Sveum said, “it’s big to the organization, big to the guys in the clubhouse, as well as myself.” How big does that make the final seven weeks of the season? “They’re big to me just as a competitor, period,” said Samardzija, who has just one win since June 23 – albeit, with just one or no runs of support in four of his last six. “Anytime you have a rough outing you want to bounce back with a strong one. And finishing strong for me is just always a big thing in anything you do. “The hard work you put in, in the off-season and the hard work you put in during the year, you want it to pay off with results.”

WHITE SOX

Danks wants live up to deal Rangers By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

Chicago Sun-Times CHICAGO – John Danks celebrated an anniversary this week, and it had a bittersweet feel about it. It was one year ago Wednesday that Danks had surgery on his left shoulder, an event that brought him to his lowest low within the same year of experiencing a high of highs. Danks had signed a fiveyear, $65 million contract the previous offseason. It was big money for the 27-year-old Texan who earned it with consistently good performances from 2008 through 2010. That he signed it after going 8-12 with a 4.33 ERA over 170 innings in 2011 made some wonder about the cost of the deal to the Sox, but it was a market value deal. And then Danks got hurt. “I’d be lying if I said it didn’t bother me when I got hurt,” Danks said of not living up to the contract because of the injury. “I was in the first year of the deal, with all the excitement and big expectations, and then the rug gets pulled out from under me.” Danks was the Opening Day starter in 2012, but he wasn’t really right all year. He pitched in nine games before undergoing an arthroscopic procedure to repair a capsular tear and inor debridement of the rotator cuff and biceps in the shoulder. After starting the season on a AAA rehab assignment, Danks has made 14 consecutive starts, posting a decent

White Sox starter John Danks reacts to giving up a three-run home run to the Braves’ Brian McCann on July 19 at U.S. Cellular Field. 4.52 ERA. His record is 2-9 going into his start today against the Twins at U.S. Cellular Field, a byproduct of poor run support. Danks knows the investment made by the Sox doesn’t look so good now. But give him time to make it right. He has that, with the next three years left on it. “My grade on this deal would obviously be an F,’’ he said. “But you could fight for an incomplete. Luckily, I’ll have three more years healthy and at full strength and I’m planning making up for lost time in those three years. “I’d like my results to be better but I feel like we’re making the right strides going in the right direction. I fully anticipate getting back to where I

was and maybe a little better.” While Danks hasn’t given up on getting his 93-94 mph fastball back, pitching coach Don Cooper sees him learning to pitch better a few ticks below. “I’m still hopeful it will come back,’’ Danks said. “Where I’m at now I can live with that, it’s not far off from where I was, anyway. “It’s more important to locate 88 than randomly throw 94 in there.’’ The odd thing about Danks’ command is that his walks are down but his control in the strike zone has been inconsistent. That’s where he gets hurt. The good thing, though, is that his shoulder doesn’t hurt. Easing up on him slightly in September has been discussed but Danks said he needs to pitch every fifth day to build endurance. “It feels great,’’ he said of the shoulder. “Especially compared to what it felt like before surgery. I’m doing all the throwing in between. That’s been my biggest positive, just how good I feel day to day. Because of that I’m able to get my work in and parlay that into getting back to where I was.”

claim Rios off waivers

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN Chicago Sun-Times The clock is ticking on a potential waiver-wire deal between the White Sox and Texas Rangers that would send Sox right fielder Alex Rios to the Rangers, although it only seems possible if Sox general manager Rick Hahn lowers his asking price. The Rangers claimed Rios on waivers and had 48 hours to work out a trade. One report had Hahn asking for pitchers Martin Perez and Luke Jackson and infielder Rougned Odor, which was too steep for Texas.

Sox outfielder Alex Rios was claimed off waivers Thursday by the Texas Rangers.

PITTSBURGH – Russell Martin’s pinch-hit single with two outs in the 10th inning lifted the Pittsburgh Pirates over the Miami Marlins, 5-4, on Thursday for their fifth straight win. Martin delivered his fourth game-ending hit at PNC Park this year for the NL Central leaders. The Pirates swept the threegame series and improved to 7044, the best record in the majors. Miami lost its fifth in a row. Josh Harrison opened the 10th with a single off Steve Ames (0-1) and took second on Clint Barmes’ sacrifice bunt. After Jose Tabata bounced out and Starling Marte was intentionally walked, Martin batted for Jared Hughes (2-2) and grounded a single down the left-field line. Dodgers 5, Cardinals 1: At St. Louis, A.J. Ellis hit a three-run home run and rookie HyunJin Ryu pitched seven stellar innings to help red-hot Los Angeles beat St. Louis. The Dodgers have won 17 of their last 18 games on the road, with the only loss coming Tuesday to St. Louis in the second game of the four-game set. Los Angeles returns home for a six-game home stand against Tampa and the New York Mets. Ryu (11-3) allowed one unearned run on five hits while striking out seven and walking no one. He increased his winning percentage to .786, which is the highest winning percentage for a rookie in Dodgers’ history. Giants 4, Brewers 1: At San Francisco, Tim Lincecum pitched another gem, allowing only one hit over eight shutout innings and leading San Francisco past Milwaukee. Lincecum, who threw his first career no-hitter on July 13 at San Diego, permitted just a double to Juan Francisco leading off the third inning. Lincecum (6-11) struck out eight and walked one in eight innings before getting pulled for a pinch-hitter. The twotime NL Cy Young Award winner had been 0-2 in three starts since throwing 148 pitches in his no-hitter. Mets 2, Rockies 1: At New York, Dillon Gee followed Matt Harvey’s first career shutout with an impressive outing of his own, helping New York beat Colorado and sending the Rockies home after matching the worst road trip in team history. Gee (8-8) scattered eight hits without yielding a walk in 7 2-3 innings to win for the first time since July 14. He allowed Corey Dickerson’s homer leading off the fourth inning. Rookie Wilmer Flores had an RBI groundout and Anthony Recker a sacrifice fly off spot starter Jeff Manship as the Mets completed their first threegame sweep over the Rockies since 2008 at Shea Stadium.

AMERICAN LEAGUE Tigers 10, Indians 3: At Cleveland, Max Scherzer became baseball’s first 17-game winner and Detroit posted its 12th straight victory, routing Cleveland. Miguel Cabrera drove in three runs as the AL Central leaders completed a fourgame sweep and opened a seven-game lead over the second-place Indians. Royals 5, Red Sox 1: At Kansas City, Mo., Bruce Chen outdueled Jon Lester as Kansas City defeated the Boston. The Royals won for the 16th time in 20 games since the AllStar break. The Red Sox, who have the best record in the AL, lost for only the third time in 10 games. Chen (5-0), who was making his fifth start since beginning the season in the bullpen, did not allow a runner past first base until the eighth and retired 11 in a row in one stretch. He yielded five singles, walked one and struck out two.

NOTRE DAME

Russia’s anti-gay law a world-wide issue

Kelly has high hopes for Jones

Russia treats gay people like dirt. Actually, dirt gets better treatment. If dirt could publicly hold up a poster favoring dirt rights, it would be allowed to do so in Russia. But gays can’t promote homosexuality in any fashion there, under threat of fines. Nor can they write letters to the editor about gay rights, get on a soapbox to equate gay and heterosexual relationships or hand out pamphlets about the LGBT community to young people. A new law prohibits “propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations.” You don’t need a health-class lesson to know what “nontraditional” means. That’s Russia, you say, worlds and decades away, and we have bigger things to worry about with a former superpower that’s starting to growl again. Well, no. First of all, nothing is worlds away anymore. We’re all connected, whether by the global economy, the fear of an isolated nation hell-bent on developing nuclear weapons or the mistreatment of fellow humans. The Winter Olympics are less than six months away, and they will take place in Sochi, a temperate Russian city on the Black Sea. This is big deal for Russia, which knows the world is watching and would like everyone to know it is back in a big way. The world indeed is watching, and that’s the problem. Watching is a passive activity. You can count on the International Olympic Committee to do absolutely nothing about Russia’s homophobic stance because nothing is what the IOC always does when faced with a situation that requires a moral compass and a backbone. If it didn’t do anything about human-rights flouter China in the run-up to the Beijing Games five years ago, it’s not going to do a thing about the plight of gays in Russia.

VIEWS Rick Morrissey The IOC hides behind the ideal that it is a sports ambassador, not a political activist. But this isn’t politics. This is life. Beatings of homosexuals reportedly have increased since the law was passed two months ago. The IOC continues to watch from the sideline, quite possibly handing out Vladimir Putin points for good boxing form by the bullies. So where does that leave the United States, which is supposed to Barack Obama be a light in a world too often darkened by intolerance? Not far from the IOC, at least to date. We didn’t do anything meaningful in 2008 to show our displeasure at the way China silenced dissidents. Earlier this week, President Barack Obama said he has “no patience for countries that try to treat gays and lesbians and transgender persons in ways that intimidate them or are harmful to them.” Let’s see how deep Obama’s impatience runs. Olympic boycotts haven’t worked. The U.S.-led boycott of the 1980 Moscow Games and the Soviet-led boycott of the 1984 Los Angeles Games left athletes who were barred from competing bitter, and the protests didn’t lead to any meaningful change. But that doesn’t mean we should shrug our shoulders the way the IOC does and the way we did in 2008.

This is an opportunity for the U.S. and likeminded countries to pursue strong sanctions against Russia if it doesn’t reverse course. Put aside the diplomatic ramifications of angering Russian president Vladimir Putin. Are we a country that stands against discrimination, wherever and however we encounter it? If we are, then we shouldn’t care what the fallout is. It’s an approach we should have taken with Beijing, where repression reportedly is getting worse. As actor Stephen Fry pointed out in a recent open letter to the IOC and British prime minister David Cameron, Russia’s law is eerily similar to Nazi Germany’s laws isolating Jews before the 1936 Olympics, which legitimized Adolph Hitler internationally, at least for a while. Russia’s law, which passed 436-0 (don’t they have a slaughter rule?), also applies to visitors to the country, including athletes competing in the Sochi Games. Foreigners could be jailed for up to two weeks and then deported. But the IOC said it has received assurances from the Russian government that the law will not affect spectators and athletes during the Games. But after the Olympics? Not our problem, the IOC seems to be saying. Gay? What’s a gay? It would be nice to see some competitors display a social conscience during the Games, but it’s not up to them to make a stink. It’s up to countries such as the U.S. The Olympic charter calls for the IOC to help “place sport at the service of humanity and thereby to promote peace.” Clearly, the IOC doesn’t care about peace. Do we?

By LAMOND POPE Sun-Times News Group SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly believes the Irish have a firstround draft pick in receiver TJ Jones. A statement like that from a coach could lead to stress for some players. Jones takes a different approach. “I don’t know if it’s pressure, or at least it’s not pressure for me. It’s more motivation,” the 5-foot-11, 195-pound senior said this week. “If I know that my coaches have that faith in me, and that I have that faith in myself, then that’s just going to allow us to better work together for me to push myself harder to attain that goal that he thinks that I can achieve.” Jones is the top returning receiver for the Irish. He finished tied with tight end Tyler Eifert for the team lead in catches (50) and receiving touchdowns (four) in 2012. Eifert now is with the Cincinnati Bengals. But Notre

Notre Dame receiver TJ Jones scores a touchdown on a pass from quarterback Everett Golson against Wake Forest on Nov. 17 in South Bend, Ind. Dame is confident others are ready to fill any void. “We have a lot of talent. We’re deep,” quarterback Tommy Rees said. “I think TJ has improved in the past three years. I think he can be a great receiver this year. I think he can really step out of the role he’s been in and take on a bigger one. “(Receivers) DaVaris [Daniels] and Chris Brown are two guys on the outside that both

have a tremendous amount of potential. I think we can get the best out of them. And I’m really excited about the young guys.” It starts with Jones, who has 111 receptions for 1,321 yards and 10 touchdowns through his first three seasons with the Irish. “Sometimes he doesn’t get enough of the accolades,” Kelly said last week. “I think he’s a great receiver.” Daniels had 31 catches for 490 yards last season. Brown made two catches for 56 yards. Freshman Corey Robinson enrolled early and went through spring drills. Troy Niklas, Ben Koyack and Alex Welch are among the options at tight end. Replacing Eifert’s production won’t be easy. But Jones drew parallels to losing Michael Floyd after the 2011 season. “Learning how to get past that,” Jones said, “how to work together as a whole and put all the different parts together and get everybody involved in our offense last year is definitely going to help us to strive this year.”

soccer teams. But neither the Yankee Stadium built in 2009 nor its more storied predecessor across the street ever hosted a hockey game. The house that George Steinbrenner built should be electric. “This is one of the rare events that lives up to the hype,” Rangers assistant general manager Jeff Gorton said. Other outdoor games scheduled for January are a New Year’s Day tilt between Detroit and Toronto at Michigan Stadium, which can hold more than 100,000 fans for football,

“Elysium”

HHH

STARRING: Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, Alice Braga

PLOT: A factory worker (Damon) takes on a mission to hijack his way onto a man-made space habitat. RATED: R for strong, bloody violence and language throughout RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 49 minutes VERDICT: Of all the movie villains we’ve met lately, few are stranger than Delacourt, Jodie Foster’s evil, white-blonde power-suited and power-hungry defense official in “Elysium,” the much-awaited but ultimately somewhat disappointing new film from director Neill Blomkamp. From her command post on a ritzy space station high up above 22nd century Earth, a demitasse of espresso at her side, Delacourt doles out orders in a foreign but unrecognizable accent. “Send them to deportation!” she barks, when “undocumented” ships breach her borders. “Get them off this habitat!” Blomkamp, whose sci-fi parable “District 9” came out of nowhere four years ago to earn a best-picture Oscar nod, is crystal clear in his intentions here. He’s making obvious statements about immigration and universal health care, and whether the frequent references bother you or not will greatly influence how much you enjoy the film. One thing you can’t deny, though, is its visual beauty, and, as in “District 9,” his masterful use of special effects. It’s not for nothing that Blomkamp, at the tender age of 33, has been called a visionary artist of the genre. His “Elysium” – that space station in the sky, looking a lot like present-day Easthampton – is an enormous wheel, on the rim of which its wealthy residents, having left the teeming and polluted Earth, who inhabit pristine white homes with bright green manicured lawns. Brilliant sunlight dapples the blue waters of their swimming pools. Classical music and clinking glasses echo in the background. For some reason, people seem to speak French. Most importantly, Elysium’s inhabitants are eternally healthy, because each home holds a “healing bay,” which looks like a tanning machine, except it cures all illness. Down on Earth, things are different. Los Angeles in 2154 is grimy, gritty and poor, with minimal medical care. Children look longingly to the sky, dreaming of Elysium. In a flashback, Max, a young boy in an orphanage, promises a young girl named Frey that one day, they’ll go there together. Frey grows up to be a nurse; Max, a car thief. But Max – portrayed by an earnest, committed and perhaps overly grim Matt Damon – has reformed himself when, one day, at the hands of a heartless boss, he’s exposed to a lethal dose of radiation in the factory where he works. Within five days, he will die. To get to Elysium and save his life, Max makes a deal with an underground revolutionary (Wagner Moura) who runs a fleet of illegal shuttles. All Max needs to do is kidnap the evil billionaire who runs the factory (a creepy William Fichtner) and, oh yes, export data from his brain. He gets the data, but up in the sky, Delacourt, desperate for the information now in Max’s brain, has activated an agent on the ground. Suddenly Max is being hunted by the vicious Kruger, a character so over-the-top, he takes over the film. It’s fun to watch the manic Sharlto Copley, who played the hunted man in “District 9,” now play the hunter. “Did you think you could get through ME?” he crows, in an extremely heavy South African accent. Eventually, Max will make it to Elysium, and so will the beautiful Frey (Alice Braga), with the critically ill daughter she’s desperate to save. There, despite the always smart and crafted action scenes, the movie lets us down a bit with a

reliance on action-hero formula and some pretty lame dialogue. As for Foster, what could have been an interesting character never really gels into anything but an oddity. But Blomkamp is talented enough that it doesn’t matter too much. If “Elysium” doesn’t nearly live up to “District 9,” it shows enough panache to leave us waiting enthusiastically for his next effort.

“Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters”

STARRING: Logan Lerman, Alexandra Daddario, Brandon T. Jackson, Nathan Fillion PLOT: In order to restore their dying safe haven, the son of Poseidon (Lerman) and his friends embark on a quest to the Sea of Monsters to find the mythical Golden Fleece while trying to stop an ancient evil from rising. RATED: PG for fantasy action violence, some scary images and mild language TIME: 1 hour, 46 minutes VERDICT: “Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters,” the second film based on Rick Riordan’s immensely popular books about a dyslexic boy who discovers he’s a demigod, may make some moviegoers feel like they’ve stepped into an actual Greek myth – one that banishes them to the underworld for nearly two hours. Well, maybe not quite the underworld, since a trip down there presumably wouldn’t feature droll quips from Stanley Tucci and Nathan Fillion, who play small but enjoyable supporting roles in this desperately-trying-to-be-epic adventure. But even likable actors can’t obscure the fact that, holy gods on Mount Olympus, this thing is a slog, a movie that dutifully hits its plot points involving prophecies and fleeces without evoking a whiff of spirit or imagination. It’s a shame that the millions of readers who fell in love with Riordan’s classic-meets-contemporary children’s stories have been handed such limp adaptations of the material. The first, 2010’s “Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief” – directed by Chris Columbus, who leeched some but not all, of the life out of the first two Harry Potter movies – was respectable but dull, while “Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters,” as directed by Thor Freudenthal (“Diary of a Wimpy Kid”), is both dull and awkwardly executed. It’s less a theatrical release than a Disney Channel special that got dressed up in CGI clothes and was shoved into a multiplex. Like its predecessor, this “Percy” sends its teen hero, played by the likable Logan Lerman, on a quest, this time one that requires him to obtain the coveted Golden Fleece to restore life to a dying tree that protects Camp Half-Blood from evil forces. (Camp Half-Blood, for those who missed the first movie or the books, is the training facility/safe haven for offspring of one Greek god parent and one mere mortal. That includes Percy, son of a human mom, and Poseidon.) Operation Fleece Pickup inevitably puts Percy and his band of Zeussian friends in contact with (duh) some massive beasts beneath the sea. It also briefly zips them through the District of Columbia – or rather Vancouver with a digitally inserted U.S. Capitol jammed in the middle of it – in what qualifies as one of the most laughably inaccurate cinematic portrayals of our nation’s capital in the history of moviedom. The special effects look clunky and unrealistic, whether they involve depicting the mammoth maw that is Charybdis or the single eye on the forehead of Tyson (Douglas Smith), a cyclops and half-brother to Percy who makes his first appearance here. Perhaps recognizing that the eye looks a little off (or lacking the budget to make it look on all the time), the filmmakers frequently mask it with a pair of sunglasses. The result: the moppy-headed fellow

son of Poseidon spends most of the movie looking like Brendan Fraser in “Encino Man.” But even Tyson is more pleasant-looking than the cab-driving Gray Sisters (Mary Birdsong, Yvette Nicole Brown and Missi Pyle), who also share a single eye but spew groan-inducing lines (“Oh no, we didn’t!”) that confirm that even the attempts at comedy in “Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters” can’t hit the right notes. Well, that’s not entirely true. Fillion gets the one genuinely funny piece of dialogue in the movie, but it’s one that fans of his old TV show, “Firefly,” are most likely to get. Presumably, they won’t be coming to this movie. And, in case this wasn’t clear, fans of the Percy Jackson books shouldn’t bother, either. – The

Washington Post

“The Smurfs 2” HH 1/2 STARRING: Hank Azaria, Neil Patrick Harris PLOT: The Smurfs team up with their human friends to rescue Smurfette, who has been kidnapped by Gargamel because she knows a secret spell that can turn the evil sorcerer’s newest creation – creatures called the Naughties – into real Smurfs. RATED: PG for some rude humor and action TIME: 1 hour, 45 minutes VERDICT: A sequel largely unwarranted other than for box office and promotional purposes, the unimaginatively titled “The Smurfs 2” should have little trouble scaling stratospheric heights similar to its predecessor with undiscriminating young audiences and their chaperones, weary from near-unrelenting summertime caregiving. The Smurfs director Raja Gosnell (“Beverly Hills Chihuahua,” “Scooby Doo”) has built his career with cute-critter pics and other family fare, and his middlebrow track record remains unblemished with the Smurfs’ big-screen return. With a primarily impressionable young target audience, the returning screenwriting team of J. David Stem, David N. Weiss, Jay Scherick and David Ronn, along with Karey Kirkpatrick (“Charlotte’s Web,” “Chicken Run”), has no problem frequently repeating lines, gags and life lessons to near-numbing effect. Beyond a few chuckle-worthy one-liners and some amusing visual comedy, there’s not much to engage adults, although the wee ones should be distracted enough. In his final film role, Jonathan Winters reprises the beneficent Papa Smurf with the requisite twinkle in his voice, but takes a back seat to Katy Perry’s bewildered, wounded and ultimately outraged Smurfette. Harris and Jayma Mays, as the parents of a young boy appropriately named Blue (Jacob Tremblay), acquit themselves good-naturedly enough, although it’s Brendan Gleeson as Patrick’s well-intentioned but misunderstood stepfather, Victor Doyle, who really shines in an all-out turn that gleefully showcases his considerable comic gifts. Azaria is equally antic as the incompetent wizard beset by the uneven, if unrelenting, team of Smurf rescuers featuring George Lopez, Anton Yelchin and John Oliver. With the exception of Gargamel’s awkwardly rendered CGI cat cohort Azrael, the mix of animation and live-action appears fairly seamless in a 3D-rendition that helps keep the movie from slipping into the overly saccharine variation favored by the fully animated 1980s TV series. – Justin

“We’re the Millers”

ONLY $10 FOR ADULTS • $5 FOR CHILDREN/SENIORS

1510 N. Chapel Hill Rd. McHenry, IL 60050

VERDICT: “We’re the Millers,” a raunchy, druggy, profanity-laced comedy starring Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston, is a dog-days movie, the kind of left-handed programming that slips easily onto screens in August, makes a few bills and exits without much notice. There’s nothing special about it – this is a movie made to exploit the hard-R successes of “The Hangover” and “Bridesmaids” – but it would be dishonest to claim it isn’t funny. The laughs may come in fits and starts, usually by way of sight gags and set pieces, but they do come. And then they go. Sudeikis plays David, a middle-aged pot dealer whose career as easygoing weed man takes a turn when his boss (Ed Helms) forces him to travel to Mexico and bring back “a smidge” of “marriage-ya-wanna.” At first stymied by the prospect of evading border security, David lights on the idea of making the run in an RV while impersonating the clean-cut dad of an all-American family. He enlists a stripper named Rose (Aniston), a local runaway named Casey (Emma Roberts) and his young neighbor Kenny (Will Poulter) to scrub up, paste on Pepsodent smiles and for 72 hours pretend they can all stand one another. Written by Hollywood technicians too numerous to mention, “We’re the Millers” hasn’t been crafted as much as expertly machined for maximum exploitation, whether it’s Aniston showcasing her killer bod in not one but two steamy strip scenes, or Sudeikis’ bland affability – which in this case is juxtaposed with a nearly unbroken stream of f-bombs and coarse, crass one-liners. The humor derives from the misdirect of such wholesome characters doing and saying such vile things, and several times it works: One of the funniest sequences features Kenny – who really is as innocent as he’s pretending to be – being taught how to kiss by his “sister” and his “mother.” Later, David and Rose fall into an amusingly staged “swinging” encounter with fellow RVers played by Nick Offerman and Kathryn Hahn. The movie’s signature sight gag involves an errant tarantula and its unfortunate aftermath – a joke that seems to have been pulled off a shelf groaning with similar outre bits, lined up and classified like so many widgets (gigantically swollen body part, check). “We’re the Millers” features some memorable performances, including Offerman, Mark Young as Casey’s hilariously dim, hip-hopped-up suitor and Poulter, who proves to be a sweetly game straight man (in every sense of that word) and knows his way around a TLC song. “We’re the Millers” may not send the audience into any soaring highs, but it does produce a mild buzz. – The Washington

Flowers meant to ease grief cause only heartache instead Dear Abby: My father-inlaw died two weeks ago. The services were beautiful. Many people sent flowers, but one arrangement – a bouquet of white flowers – arrived anonymously. I didn’t think much about it, just that someone wanted to express sympathy. Now my mother-in-law has become frantic with concern about the flowers. She sobs over not knowing who sent them and – we think – suspects they came from an old or notso-old flame. My in-laws were married for more than 50 years, and it is heartbreaking to see her compound her grief with these thoughts. We have suggested various reasons someone might have sent the flowers

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips anonymously, but she refuses to accept them. Is sending flowers this way unusual? Or are there good reasons to do it? For the record, is it even good manners to send flowers to a funeral anonymously? Or is my mother-in-law’s reaction normal? – Grieving In George-

town, Texas Dear Grieving: Your mother-in-law is grieving. She is fragile right now, and possibly not thinking straight. A card may have been sent with the bouquet that was somehow lost in transit.

That she was married to her husband for 50 years and now suspects he was unfaithful because of a bouquet of flowers at the man’s funeral is a sad reflection on their marriage. She should discuss this with her spiritual adviser, if she has one, or a grief therapist. Dear Abby: I am in my early 30s and have been married for five years. My husband and I decided to have a baby, and five months ago I found out I was pregnant. When I told my mom the great news, she wasn’t happy to hear it. She doesn’t care. All she cares about is how “fat” I’m going to get. My mother never wants to talk about anything baby-relat-

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff that produces synovial fluid. Synovial fluid lubricates the joint, guarding against friction and allowing movement. In addition, the ends of the bones in these joints are covered by a protective layer of cartilage. The tough, elastic cartilage cushions the bones. Cartilage can mold to its surroundings, so the opposing surfaces of a joint are perfectly matched. As cartilage becomes less resilient, microscopic pits and fissures appear on its surface. Tiny pieces of cartilage may flake off into the area surrounding the joint, and the damaged cartilage can set off a chain of events that results in joint inflammation. As cartilage degenerates, patches of exposed bone appear. Over time, the space between bones narrows. The surfaces of the bones change shape, leading to friction and joint damage. The bones try to repair themselves, but the renovation attempts are uneven. As a result, bony overgrowths form along the margins of the

damaged joints. These little pieces of overgrown bone can get chipped off of the bone. Then they become like gravel in the joint, making it hurt worse. (I’ve put an illustration of the process on my website.) The combination of damaged cartilage, bone rubbing on bone and inflammation all contribute to your symptoms of osteoarthritis. So that’s what osteoarthritis is. But you asked what causes it. Medical research has provided some answers. We know that part of it is genetic: It runs in families. It ran in my family. We are born with a vulnerability for our joint cartilage to become damaged if we injure the joint. If there is no injury, we escape getting osteoarthritis. But when a joint is injured by some trauma, such as a job requiring lots of heavy lifting or (as in my case) a sports injury, the cartilage starts to digest itself. How do our genes trigger this process? Once we understand that, treatments to prevent the disease could follow.

Osteoarthritis runs in families Dear Dr. K: I have osteoarthritis. Can you tell me what is happening in my joints that causes my painful symptoms? Dear Reader: The short answer is osteoarthritis causes deterioration of cartilage in the joints. But I suspect you’d like a more detailed response. There are many different kinds of arthritis, but osteoarthritis is the most common. It causes pain, swelling and stiffness in the joints that worsens over time. The condition most often affects joints found in the shoulders, wrists, fingers, hips and knees. These joints are designed for a variety of movements that make possible all manner of activity, from playing tennis to playing the piano. Joints, like machines with moving parts, are vulnerable to friction. If a machine’s moving parts come in contact with one another, friction will scratch the surfaces and cause pitting, distortion and eventually breakage. Two strategies can prevent such friction: applying a lubricant or inserting a cushion. Human joints are protected in both ways. The joints affected by osteoarthritis are lined with a membrane, called synovium,

Rimes, Cibrian get series THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Friday, August 9, 2013 • PlanitNorthwest.com/buzz

Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes already get a lot of tabloid attention. Now the 40-year-old actor and his singer-actress wife are parlaying their notoriety into a new VH1 series tentatively titled, “LeAnn & Eddie.” The six-episode series is scheduled to debut later this year or in early 2014. A statement released Wednesday said the show will “bring the truth and make fun of all the gossip” about the couple, but doesn’t say specifically whether it will be scripted or a reality series. In a recent interview, the 30-year-old Rimes said she and Cibrian were interested in doing “a show based in reality. ... A scripted show based around our lives.”

Behar makes exit from ‘The View’

Kutcher better at keeping private After embodying Steve Jobs in his new movie, Ashton Kutcher came to admire how the Apple Computer founder was able to balance his public and personal lives. “He was better at it than I am,” the 35-year old actor said this week at the New York premiere of his new film, “JOBS.” “This business has a propensity to force you to be more public than you probably want to be,” Kutcher said of show business. He should know. Kutcher has seen his share of tabloid headlines after his very public breakup with actress Demi Moore. His current relationship with former “That ‘70s Show” co-star Mila Kunis also has been widely publicized. But Kutcher says he’s getting better at it. “I think I’ve learned how to restrict that public image, and over the years I’m starting to understand the value of privacy,” he said. In the film, Kutcher plays the techno prophet who, along with Steve “Woz” Wozniak, ignited the personal computer revolution. Jobs died two years ago after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 56. Kutcher said that while researching the role, he found there was a “Steve that Steve didn’t always want to show.” He also said the most important aspect of playing such a public figure was to understand the version of Jobs known by the public came much later. “The guy with the glasses and the jeans and black turtleneck and the New Balance shoes giving a keynote speech to present some new, great, next, amazing product ... he wasn’t always that guy. He actually evolved into that person in the same way that I’m not the same today at 35 as I was at 25, and I was at 15,” Kutcher said.

The last of the original hosts on ABC’s daytime talk show “The View” – except for the program’s inventor, Barbara Walters – makes her exit today. Joy Behar’s last day is punctuated by a profane joke. Taped a week ago, the program is a salute to Behar with special guests, a serenade and highlights of her memorable moments, including interviewing Barack Obama and walking out on Bill O’Reilly. Behar began her co-host duties with the first episode of “The View” in August 1997. Walters’ idea for a talk show with women hosts kicking around the news of the day, followed by celebrity guests, proved to be a success from the start. ABC hasn’t named a replacement for Behar. The network recently said Jenny McCarthy would replace Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who left for a job at Fox News Channel. Producers face another big decision next year when Walters retires.

Rose adding 4th TV show to workload As if Charlie Rose didn’t have enough jobs, he’s adding a fourth one. The 71-year-old talk show host will oversee “Charlie Rose The Week,” a 30-minute weekly program looking back at events in politics, business, sports, culture and the arts that will air on PBS. In addition to the new show, Rose hosts his eponymous interview program on PBS, and on CBS he co-anchors “CBS This

Morning” five days a week and contributes to “60 Minutes.” Rose told a Television Critics Association session Wednesday he sleeps about six hours a night and takes two daily naps because he believes it makes him more efficient. He rises at 5 a.m. He says he started his napping habit back in law school.

Sensitive remarks on ‘Big Brother’ A run of ethnically insensitive remarks has continued during filming for the CBS reality TV show “Big Brother,” raising questions about whether the network should be doing more to police it. One of the cast members on the program, which throws a group of people who don’t know each other in a house together and films them to see how they get along, made remarks during the past week that could be seen as insulting to various ethnic groups. On the 24-hour Internet feed of the house, Amanda Zuckerman, who’s white, complained about a black cast member putting a headband on her greasy, “nappy-hair head.” She referred to another black housemate as “the dark knight” and “the black mamba,” mocked the accent of a Korean woman and referred to “Puerto Rican showers,” leading to a debate about whether she’s racist. “I’m just joking,” said Zuckerman, a 28-year-old real estate agent from Boynton Beach, Fla. “I’ve had sex with Puerto Rican guys before.”

RIGHT: The 1952 Chrysler Group LLC Town & Country Wagon goes for $190,000.

Custom automaker restores jalopies to glory By JASON H. HARPER Bloomberg News Talk about pricing what the market will bear. How about $280,000 for an old Dodge pickup? Or $190,000 for a 1950s station wagon-cum-jalopy covered in rust? These are the kind of prices Jonathan Ward, owner and head designer of Los Angeles-based custom automobile maker Icon, charges – and he still has a yearlong backlog of orders.

“My customer is a guy who loves the aesthetic of old vehicles but doesn’t want to put up with a lousy ride, the creaks and rattles and breakdowns,” Ward said. Icon sources older models such as Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40s, Ford Broncos and Jeep CJs and marries their exteriors to all-modern chassis and powertrains. They look old but drive like new. Ward also adds one-off (and often wacky) details such as hidden navigation systems and sun visors taken from

private jets. At first glance, the $280,000 pickup truck looks like a well-maintained 1965 Dodge D200. Then you notice the behemoth has four doors and a reworked grill. The lights are LEDs, and the tires ludicrously oversized. The double set of side windows have an Art Deco shape, and the glass itself has an odd, reflective quality (it’s special glass used in skyscrapers). Open a door, and a running board slides out from under the vehicle

automatically, making it easier to enter. Ward and his crew spent a year on the Dodge, removing body panels from the original truck and reworking them to fit the chassis of a heavy-duty 2007 Dodge Mega Cab 3500. The suspension was upgraded and a 5.9-liter Cummins turbo-diesel six-cylinder installed. The engine was specially tuned to produce 975 pound-feet of torque and 575 horsepower.

A 6.7-liter, 370-horsepower Cummins I6 engine mated to a shiftable six-speed automatic transmission is one of the powerplants in the 2013 Ram heavy duty pickup trucks. Wheel to wheel running boards help driver and passengers climb into the cab. Photos provided

Ram enters heavy duty realm

width of 66.4 inches with 51 of those inches between the rear wheel wells. The width is roomy enough for 4x8-foot sheets of plywood. An optional $500 cargo cover was on the tested Laramie. It is one of the simplest covers around. It is divided into three sections. Once the two clasps controlling the rear section are undone, the rear and middle sections fold forward to stack on top of the one next to the cab. When the three are stacked,

two clasps secure them. The topmost section has short legs that fit snugly into a molded cup on the section immediately underneath so there is no rubbing and wearing effect. The entire operation, whether folding it up or down, takes no more than 30 seconds. Since it is a work horse, the 2500 HD includes trailer brake control, heavy duty engine cooling, shift-on-thefly transfer case, tow hooks, wide P265 17-inch tires

with a full-size spare stored underneath, huge power folding mirrors, leaf springs in the rear and a five-link suspension in front, recirculating ball steering (no other kind for a work truck) and a tow hitch to accommodate a trailer with a weight, including tongue, of roughly 17,000 to 18,500 pounds. Fluid-filled hydromounts on the cab help isolate the cabin from the road, but after a week in the Laramie, long trips are not advised.

Payload and towing differ on each of the seven models of the 2013 Ram 2500 HD trucks, but not by much, with one exception. The 2500 Power Wagon is limited to 11,000 pounds towing, not 17,000 or 18,000. That is due to the wagon, rather than truck, and is the nature of the vehicle. Trailer sway control, hill start assist and electronic stability control are standard on all 2500 and 3500 HD models. Ram engineers claim a new exhaust brake for diesels evens out the deceleration process. Cummins engineers also have designed an intake airbox system to combat a power level drop in hot weather. One of the intakes is high inside wheel wells and the other above the front bumper where cooler air prevails. The intake system is monitored via a two-way valve and adjusts according to how hot and hard the engine is working. On the exhaust end, urea fluid controls nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide emissions. Cleaning the diesel of pollutants expelled into the air is one reason this type of vehicle costs more initially. The cost is made up in fuel economy as a diesel can be 30 percent more economical in usage than a gasoline-based powerplant. Since it is a 6,402-pound vehicle, fuel economy can range from 13 to 20 miles per gallon. During the test week, the average was 17.4 mpg. A 31-gallon diesel fuel tank is on board. Everything about this vehicle seems to be big and heavy, including the hood. Thankfully, after the unlatching, the hood raises itself by hydraulic pistons. Luxuries are provided including remote keyless entry, power windows, door locks and driver’s seat, leather trim, air conditioning, 12 and 115 volt power outlets, navigation system and a 506-watt Alpine sound system. Warranty coverage is five years or 100,000 miles on the powertrain and three years or 36,000 miles limited with 24-hour roadside assistance. Select 2500 models are eligible for $500 to $2,000 rebates or interest rates of 1.9 to 5.9 percent. For information, visit a dealer or www.ramtrucks. com.

REVIEWS Jerry Kuyper Heavy duty pickup trucks are back in fashion. It partly is due to the resurgence of the construction market, which includes new housing, road and bridge repairs plus large farm operations. Truck manufacturers Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Toyota and, to a lesser extent, Nissan, are expressing optimism through more production of heavy duty pickups. A big player in this market is Ram with its 2500 or 3500 HD trucks. Optimal towing on several 3500 models is 40,000 pounds, which leads all pickups in its class. The 2500 pickups settle for 18,350 pounds maximum, another class-leading figure. Engines behind this power are Hemi V-8s or the Cummins turbocharged diesel I6 (inline cylinders). Choices are two- or four-wheel-drive, regular, crew or mega cabs, and 6-foot 4-inch or 8-foot boxes. A 370-horsepower, 6.7-liter diesel I6 was tested recently, and it was a four-wheeler with a crew cab, a 6-foot 4-inch box and a price tag of $46,335. Ram HD prices range from $29,220 for a Tradesman model to $47,790 for a Laramie Longhorn. The tested Laramie was a shortened version of the Longhorn. Since it is a huge vehicle, entry and exit (height from ground to cab is 20.9 inches) can be difficult, which is why grab handles are provided at strategic locations on all four doors. Running boards help, though they are a $600 option, but they are worth it. They were on the tested Laramie and stretch on both sides from front wheels to rear wheels. Even petite people can step and grab to easily get into the cab. With running boards extending to the rear wheels, this means there is a step to assist in loading or strapping down cargo in the box. Space inside the cab is massive with as much leg room in the rear as in front (officially 40.3 and 41 inches respectively). A center console in front flips up to create seat space for a third person. With a towing capacity of

17,410 pounds, the Laramie can coast while pulling an ordinary 2,500-pound boat or horse trailer. Payload is 2,400 pounds. A trifling 600 pounds of cargo in the bed during the test week wasn’t even noticed by the engine. The bed is lined by a spray-in composite material to prevent scratches to underlying metal. It is divided, has post holes, has a step-up bumper, a fairly light removable tailgate, cargo lights mounted on the cab, and a

Driving your dream car can be deceiving By JASON H. HARPER Bloomberg News Meeting your heroes is dangerous; you might end up disappointed. This also holds true for fantasy cars. That exotic Lamborghini you dreamed about as a teen might be a lemon. That splash of cold reality hits me in the face just before I twist the key to a 1991 Lamborghini Diablo. I had a framed poster of the supercar on my bedroom wall during high school, but never got any closer to it until today, 22 years later, when a friend bought one on eBay for $90,000 and let me borrow it. Backed into a narrow garage, the all-black car gleams meanly, low and wide, scissor doors – the ultimate exotic-car detail of the day – open and pointing upwards. A big wing sits at the back, and air vents ribbing the rear deck indicate the place where the 48-valve, 5.7-liter V-12 engine lives. When it first came out, the Diablo’s base price was about $240,000, including a 10 percent luxury tax. With 485 horsepower and 428 poundfeet of torque, it had a top speed of 202 mph and attained 60 mph in 3.9 seconds, according to Automobile Magazine. Those are good statistics, even today. At the time, Lamborghini was owned by Chrysler. My 9-to-5 gig is reviewing cars, so the adult half of me will simply be doing my job. But the other, still-teenage side will be dancing around

Bloomberg News photo by Jin Lee

A 1991 Lamborghini Diablo is shown on display in May at the Monticello Motor Club in Monticello, N.Y. The super-sports-car segment is expected to slow globally this year, Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann said. in high-top Keds sneakers, whipping around his mullet and marveling at his luck. Dude, this is gonna rock harder than C+C Music Factory. It’s clear this will be an unusual experience. While the leather bucket seats recline rakishly, the angle can’t be adjusted. The left wheel-well intrudes into the cabin, so the driver sits off center with legs twisted to the right. There’s little room to manipulate the pedals, and the steering wheel sits so low on my thighs that I’m pinioned.

This car could make a chiropractor a lot of money. The instrument cluster looks like it was ripped from the cockpit of F-16 jet fighter, and a manual stick shift pokes up out of a gate shifter (a piece of metal with the gear slots cut out). I reach up to close the scissor door and then fire up the V-12. It sounds like a badly-tuned John Deere tractor. The entire cabin shimmies. I gently clink the stick into gear and edge out of the garage.

The man beneficent enough to loan me the Diablo is Ari Straus, president and partner of the Monticello Motor Club in the Catskills. He knows his exotic cars. While he’s a reasonable guy – he sometimes drives a Honda Odyssey minivan – nostalgia got the best of him when he saw the Diablo on eBay. “I made a bid and kind of forgot about it. Then I got an email saying I’d won.” Like any Lambo worth its salt, this Diablo had a colorful

backstory: It had been seized by a drug enforcement agency in Montana and was later put up for auction. It needed a new clutch, a notoriously faulty issue with older Lamborghinis, but was otherwise in good shape. The back wing also has deep ripples in the finish, speaking less to fine Italian craftsmanship and more to a bored Sant’Agata Bolognese worker who couldn’t wait to knock off for lunch. “You’re driving a dream, but it doesn’t drive like a

dream,” jokes Straus. “I have to take off my shoes to work the pedals and the AC blows out warm air. But you start revving it high and it comes to life. You remember the poster on your wall and think, this is phenomenal.” I find myself on rolling country hills, long grass tilting with a soft breeze, and give the gas a tentative push to the floor. The engine note changes, becoming less broad and keener; the shimmying of the cabin actually stills. The Diablo bounds forward, an adrenaline shot to the heart. Later Diablo models got all-wheel drive, a feature now standard on Lamborghinis. But original Diablos are rearwheel- drive, and the push from the back is like a backslap. The rear tires actually squeal. The car bounds over a hill and down a squiggly lane, sucking down to the asphalt. Tire grip is excellent and the suspension is good. The brakes, which lack anti-lock, are less than commensurate to the car’s power. The steering also is unassisted, which makes pulling out of a parking spot a tug-of-war, but it’s excellent on broad sweeping turns. The car is a handful, in the very best of ways. I pass a group of teens pulled over on the side of the road and they shout, “Go go go!” I comply. More than two decades on, the Diablo sure isn’t perfect, but it continues to inspire a dream or two.

Porsche 550 ‘exact’ repro Spyder is a small marvel By JASON H. HARPER Bloomberg News I’m behind the wheel of one of the rarest and most desired Porsches ever made, the 550 Spyder. The sensuous curves of the tiny two-seat convertible are unmistakable as the model driven by James Dean when he met his death on a California highway in 1955. Only this Spyder is a fake. Or more precisely, a facsimile. Porsche itself has nothing to do with the car. Its maker, Prospect, Connecticut-based Spyder Creations, said it is officially a kit car, albeit one that costs $320,000 to $470,000. Only 90 of the original mid-engine 550 Spyder were built in the 1950s. Handmade and tailored as racecars, no two are exactly the same. Last year, one was auctioned off in Florida’s Amelia Island for $3.69 million. A number of companies have made replicas over the years, often with fiberglass bodies and Volkswagen engines, but the owners of Spyder Creations say their car is as close to the original as possible. The bodies are hand-hammered out of aluminum, just like the originals, and period-correct Porsche engines and parts are installed. “When I say this is an exact reproduction, I mean exact,” co-owner Rob Edwards said. “The word exact has no wiggle room in its definition.” The fascination with making a 550 replica began after his father, Ben, 78, bought and sold an original about 15 years ago without ever having driven it. “I still can’t figure out why in God’s name I sold it,” Ben said. The Edwardses own a firm that works with custom metal fabricators, so they had relevant contacts. The process began with scans of an unrestored original, leading to a 3-D model and four-years of reverse engineering the

A replica Porsche 550 Spyder sits on display in July in Danbury, Conn. Just 90 of the original mid-engine 550 Spyder were built in the 1950s. entire car. After the prototype was finished, they figured others would want one, too. The aluminum body was handmade by Alloycars in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., while the powertrain, electrical and suspension tuning is being done by Speedsport Tuning in Danbury, Conn. The Edwardses hope the second Spyder, which will cost $470,000, will be ready by fall. At Speedsport, I met the Edwards and Jeff Adams, who installs the vintage Porsche engines. Adams explained while the $320,000 prototype has a push-rod engine from a 1959 Porsche 912, in the future they plan on using the iconic “Type 547,” four-cam, air-

cooled engine, often found on late-model 550s. Porsche only produced about 1,800 of these motors, which now cost a “minimum of $150,000,” said Adams, for which the Edwardses charge “market price.” The younger Edwards added, “I don’t know if my car will appreciate, but the engine sure will.” Production will be limited. “I think you’d ruin the market if you made more than two a year,” Edwards said. While I’m no expert on vintage Porsches, the 550 prototype certainly looks the part. It is startlingly small, with doll-sized doors, a tight cockpit and a half windshield. It makes a Mazda

Miata look hefty. The rear deck is hinged and secured by buckles. Inside you’ll find the engine compartment and a spare tire tied down with leather straps. The interior has period-correct vinyl upholstery, an oversized steering wheel and a four-speed manual transmission. The engine-whisperer Adams, who’s spent more time testing the car than anyone, comes along on my test drive. He zips us along the narrow roads outside of Danbury, the engine behind us buzzing throatily. “I’ve driven an original,” Adams said, “and this one feels just like it should.”

I take over. I haven’t a clue how an original drives, but as I push the Spyder to 6,000 rpm in third gear, the car is alive. It is incredibly light, floating over crests in the road and razoring through curves. So narrow it takes up half a lane, the 550 is a sprite compared to modern cars. Forget about frills. Adams and I bump elbows, it’s so tight. While I relish the wind blowing into my face over the half windshield, sunglasses are a necessity rather than a fashion statement. Adams gets into the chase car, leaving me to my own reverie about the deeply romantic nature of this machine. No wonder James Dean

was so enamored. I find myself on a busy highway when the 1.7-liter engine begins missing. Something’s wrong. I coast into a parking lot as the motor dies. Have I broken it? How typical is this? When Adams shows up, he starts the car with no issue. I’m only vindicated when he drives it back to the shop and it dies in the parking lot. Turns out modern ethanol-laced gas is giving the old motor problems; so you’ll have to seek out ethanol-free stations. With such pure thrills and breakdowns, I realize the Edwardses have done it: They’ve recreated the true experience of driving a 1950s racecar.

Toyota Highlander is comfortable family vehicle By ANN M. JOB The Associated Press With three rows of seats, a comfortably functional interior and pleasant looks, Toyota’s 2013 Highlander is a right-sized, no-fuss vehicle for families. There’s even a removable center section in the Highlander’s second-row seats that simplifies the effort to get to the third row bench seat, even when two child safety seats occupy the second row. The Highlander also has a strong record for reliability and is a recommended buy of Consumer Reports, where predicted reliability for the 2013 model is much better than average. The smooth-riding, 2013 Highlander Hybrid is rated at a combined 28 miles per gallon in city and highway driving and ranks third best among gasoline-electric hybrid SUVs. Still, the Highlander, which is positioned between the smaller Toyota RAV4 and larger 4Runner, does not come with a bargain price. Starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price, including destination charge, is $29,865 for a base, front-wheel drive, 2013 Highlander with 187-horsepower, four-cylinder engine. The lowest starting retail price for a 2013 Highlander with 270-horsepower V-6 is $32,750. All 2013 Highlanders come with automatic transmission, and all V-6-powered Highlanders come standard with four-wheel drive. The Highlander has plenty of competitors in the midsize, crossover SUV segment. Crossover SUVs are vehicles that have SUV styling on the outside, seat passengers higher above the pavement than they would be in a car and use an underlying structure based on cars to provide a car-like, rather than truckish, ride.

The 2013 Toyota Highlander is a right-sized, no-fuss vehicle for families. The Highlander also has a strong record for reliability and is a recommended buy of Consumer Reports, where predicted reliability for the 2013 model is much better than average. The 2013 Kia Sorento, which offers four- and six-cylinder engines, has a starting MSRP, including destination charge, of $26,150 for a base, front-wheel drive model with 191-horsepower four cylinder, automatic transmission and third-row seating. This is $3,715 less than the base 2013 Highlander. The lowest-priced, 2013 Sorento with all-wheel drive and third-row seats starts at $27,950, and includes the four-cylinder engine. Another competing family crossover SUV is the 2013 Chevrolet Traverse, which has a starting MSRP, including destination charge, of $31,670. The base Traverse has front-wheel drive, 281-horsepower V-6 and automatic transmission. The Traverse only comes with the V-6.

Now marking 12 years in North America, the Highlander continues with impressive U.S. sales of more than 100,000 annually. Indeed, during calendar 2013, the Highlander is on pace to surpass last year’s U.S. sales of 121,055. Highlander’s appeal to families is not just its practicality, such as a cargo area that can grow from 10.3 cubic feet behind the third row to 95.4 cubic feet with secondand third-row seats folded down. The Highlander is a nofuss vehicle that’s not too big and not too small that’s easy for busy families to live with. There was nothing distracting or odd about the placement, visibility and usability of the gauges and controls inside the test Highlander, which was a base V-6 model. Most drivers

will find they can get in, adjust the driver’s seat, steering wheel and mirrors, and just drive. In fact, the non-gimmicky interior was a nice, easy change of pace when it was time to change temperature and radio stations in a straightforward and simple manner. This is not to say the Highlander is low tech. For 2013, every Highlander has display audio, which provides Bluetooth phone connectivity and music streaming as well as a USB port. An optional tech package can add navigation system and Toyota’s Entune multimedia system for use with popular mobile applications and data services. Some features can be controlled via voice commands. Though nothing seemed complicated or distracting in the Highlander, a standard

rearview camera is sorely needed to help drivers when backing up. The removable Center Stow seat in the middle of the second row was put up and taken down without consulting the owner’s manual. But the two-person third row seat sits low to the floor and can feel a bit cramped. The 270-horsepower V-6 provided strong power for acceleration and got the Highlander up to above-speed-limit city travel quickly, even when the vehicle was carrying four adults and luggage. Power seemed plentiful and the 3.5-liter, double overhead cam V-6 sounded strong and confident. Torque peaked at a healthy 248 foot-pounds at 4,700 rpm. Several competitors offer a bit more V-6 horsepower and torque. Still, the slightly smaller size and lighter

weight of the V-6-powered Highlander meant the engine power was more than adequate. As an example, the 2013 Traverse stretches 17 feet from bumper to bumper, while the Highlander’s overall length is 15.7 feet. The Highlander with V-6 also is some 660 pounds lighter than the Traverse. The Highlander with V-6 has a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. Fuel economy in the non-hybrid Highlanders is lower than that of the hybrid model, of course, and not particularly noteworthy. The tester with V-6 averaged just more than 20 miles per gallon in combined city/highway travel, which was over the federal government’s rating of 19 mpg in combined city/highway driving. With a 19.2-gallon gas tank for regular unleaded fuel, the test Highlander’s range was 385 miles. The 2013 Highlander’s overall federal government crash test rating is, surprisingly, four out of five stars, with frontal crash tests earning only four out of five stars. This is the same rating that the 2013 Sorento has. But the 2013 Traverse has five stars. The 2013 Highlander was the subject of two safety recalls. In one, Highlanders were recalled because a label on the vehicle did not state the correct load capacity, and regulators wanted to ensure that owners didn’t overload the vehicle and risk tire failure. The other safety recall involved a few Highlanders fitted with accessories that had modified the front seats. Regulators wanted to be sure the front passenger seat’s occupant sensing system still worked, so air bags for this passenger seat would deploy properly in a crash.

A Toyota Motor Corp. Land Cruiser FJ40, built from a 1969 model, is driven near Malibu, Calif. Icon sources older models such as Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40s, Ford Broncos and Jeep CJs and marries their exteriors to all-modern chassis and powertrains.

Ward: It’s difficult to keep up with orders • JALOPIES Continued from page D1 That incredible power sounds like hyperbole, but as I discover on a test drive along California’s Highway 1, it is not. Ward is riding shotgun as I negotiate the precarious curves and find that I rarely need to shift – the engine pulls like a locomotive even in fifth gear. The long stick from the six-speed manual transmission pokes up from the footwell and takes a strong hand, as does the oversized, leather-bound steering wheel, which only adds to the impression you’re driving a tractor-sized vehicle. The roof is padded with bison hide and the thick carpets underfoot pilfered from a Rolls-Royce. While the radio looks like an old AM unit, it actually operates a bumping stereo system. A digital information screen slides out of a compartment in the dash. The truck was a special order for a client from Wyoming, but Ward said, “I really don’t want to give this one up.” I sympathize with him. I

feel like I’m driving the king of trucks. Still, good luck reconciling the mind-boggling price, which is partly a result of Ward’s near-maniacal obsession with details. Some of the underpinnings (which you’ll never see) are aeronautical grade, and though the switches and knobs are the same shape as the originals, Ward mills them out of metal. His business has grown every year, he said, but the level of specificity slows production. Although Icon moved into a larger shop and delivered 30 vehicles in 2012, Ward said it was difficult to keep up with orders. His best-seller is the reworked Land Cruiser, which starts at about $130,000. Stepping out of the Dodge with relief (you don’t want to mess up a vehicle before the buyer takes delivery), I move over to one of Ward’s personal rides, a literal rust bucket. Nominally, the car is a 1952 Chrysler Town & Country Wagon with the front end of a DeSoto grafted on. With a teeth-like grill, a rusted patina and rubbed-off paint, it looks like it could

have belonged to the Addams Family’s Uncle Fester. But no. As one of Ward’s “Derelict” series, it goes for $190,000. “It’s super fast. You can hammer the curves with it,” Ward explained, handing me the keys. I have my doubts, but turn it toward the winding canyon roads. The steering wheel and wood flooring are all original, but the guts of the thing certainly aren’t. The sound of the modern 6.1-liter V-8 Hemi reverberates through the cabin, and the five-speed automatic transmission clicks through gears promptly. The suspension ably handles dips and curves. Yet my subconscious is telling me the car is going to fall apart at any moment. Since this is Ward’s daily driver, I turn the wheel over to him. He promptly sends us hurtling down cliff-side roads, tires shrieking and brakes smoking. I look into the abyss on the passenger side and momentarily lose my breath: For $190,000, you don’t get airbags or modern safety restraints – only a simple lap belt.

ABS an important safety feature, needs repair The ABS light comes on every now and then. My mechanic says he can fix it for $300, but I still have brakes – just not the anti-lock brakes. Is it necessary to fix the trouble? – R.M., River Falls, Wis. Yes. The anti-lock brake system is an important safety feature that provides the ability to control the vehicle in a skid such as an emergency stop, especially in slick conditions. Let’s imagine for a moment a car suddenly stalls in front of you. The road is slick. You slam on the brakes, and the tires lock up because the anti-lock brake system is not working. You steer to avoid a collision, but it continues to skid in a straight line and your car collides with the rear. With anti-lock brakes, the system would pump the pedal so your vehicle maintains traction and your car has a better chance of steering around a stopped vehicle onto the shoulder or open traffic lane to avoid a collision. Also, think about the legal issues. Your technician has informed you what it will take to repair. You are aware the ABS system does not work. Your decision is not to repair it. If in the unfortunate circumstance you are in a collision, a sharp attorney could make a case on the premise you failed to maintain your vehicle. It could become a real hassle. Because I investigate issues for insurance com-

DR. GIZMO Phil Arendt panies, I want to make you aware of what might happen. It’s your decision to repair or not. Also, $300 may seem like a lot to repair a car, but in reality it’s not. On some cars, $300 is an oil change service.

I have a 2003 Ford Focus with a dimly blinking ABS light. Also, the battery goes dead about once a week. I have had the car checked by two different repair shops. One shop installed a new alternator. The second shop replaced the battery even though it passed tests. Despite this, the light still blinks. The second shop has done some tests to determine if a circuit is causing the battery to go dead. They also found code 1318 in the computer. In addition, they found the ABS light blinks, and they think all of this might be due to the new alternator that was installed at the first shop. They said I should either replace the alternator with one from a dealership or return to the other shop to let them address the trouble. Does this seem right to you? – H.D.R., email This is one of those situations that can raise many questions and concerns as to the quality of shop service, expertise and the parts they install.

Code P1318 is the result of low voltage. This indeed could be caused by a fault in the alternator. It’s also possible an original equipment manufacturer alternator from a dealership will fix the trouble. If you return to the first repair shop, it is important you explain everything the second shop found. Your receipt for the work should help with the details. The first shop will likely test the aftermarket alternator they installed. More than likely, it will pass tests. Despite this, they may try another from the same supplier as it might fix the trouble, or they might need to install an OEM alternator at an additional expense.

My 2009 Chevrolet HHR is difficult to start, and the check engine light is on. It has a 2.0-liter engine and 57,000 miles. I went to a repair shop, where a mechanic replaced a MAF sensor. When this did not cure the trouble, I returned to the shop. Now he says an oxygen sensor is the cause of the trouble. I did not have him do the work. If I replace the oxygen sensor myself, will this fix the trouble? – S.B., email The performance of the mass air flow sensor in part is affected by the oxygen sensors. If an oxygen sensor is not functioning as designed, the management system may not kick in to adjust the air to fuel mixture.

It is not a long shot that if you replace the sensor the technician suggested, the issue will be resolved.

The idle in my 1995 Nissan Altima goes up to 2,500 rpm when I shift into reverse. It makes the entire car jump. I have to push really hard on the brakes before I shift or the car takes off. I imagine that this is not good for the transmission. I went to an auto supply store for a computer test. An employee said my car does not comply with OB2 standards, but he did determine a possible cause for the trouble is an idle valve. I bought the valve, and it looked pretty easy to install, but after the work, the car did the same thing. I returned to my supply store, and an employee checked my work. He said it didn’t look as though the valve was on correctly and suggested I recheck my work. I’m pretty sure I installed it correctly. It looks correct to me. Is it possible to install the valve incorrectly? – T.D., email There is a correct way and an incorrect way to complete a task. More than likely what he probably meant is that the valve is not seated all the way or a gasket that sits between the mating surfaces of the idle air control valve and throttle body where it mounts is not in alignment or leaking. Check over your work. Make sure there are no leaks at the gasket and that everything is in proper alignment and has proper

electrical connections. Correct issues as needed. If you don’t find an installation issue, consider returning to the auto supply store and ask the individual to point out what he thinks is causing the issue. Then you will have a full understanding of what he feels is improper. Move forward from there.

I pull a camping trailer with my 2004 Nissan Titan with a 5.6-liter engine. When pulling the trailer, the engine overheats. When I’m not trailering, the engine temperature stays within the normal range. A local independent shop has flushed the engine cooling system, replaced the thermostat and flushed the transmission. This has not helped at all. Do you have any suggestions? – G.T., email The factory configuration for your truck could have included an electric cooling system fan or a belt-driven cooling fan, so repair depends upon the configuration under the hood. If the cooling system is equipped with electric fans, make sure they are operating as designed. Temperature sensors, wiring, electric motors and engine control module all have to be tested before a repair can be performed. If the engine is equipped with a belt-driven fan, make sure the fan clutch is operating as designed. If not, replace it. It also is possible there is blockage in the radiator or the transmission cooler

is restricted or clogged. If issues exist, replace the afflicted part. Additionally, make sure your truck can handle the load. The weight capacities for towing include the weight of the truck and trailer with occupants and equipment so make sure the load does not exceed truck weight capability. If so, trim down the load.

Reverse quit in my 2002 Dodge Ram 1500. It has a 5.9-liter engine and 155,000 miles. This is my work truck, so I need to get it back on the road as quickly as possible. What do you think caused reverse to fail? Would it be necessary to overhaul it? Would replacing the transmission with a remanufactured unit get me back on the road quickly? – C.A.N., email There are many reasons for reverse to quit, but more than likely a spring, accumulator or band broke. Despite what is broken your truck has rolled 155,000 miles of wear on the transmission. It will need an overhaul. The quickest way to get back on the road is to install a remanufactured transmission.

Express yourself CL staffing agency celebrates its 10th year Express Employment Professionals

By CHRIS CASHMAN ccashman@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Dominick Zera, 24, of Wauconda, recently walked out of Express Employment Professionals in Crystal Lake with a job in his pocket. It was a temporary job for a week or two, but he hoped it would become full-time. “I’m going to show them what I’m made of,” he said. Inside the office at 829 Virginia Road, front office coordinator Kendra Goldsand was busy answering phones. “We have two opportunities for you,” she said on the phone to a temporary employee. “One that starts today for 12 hours. ... It’s a guaranteed paycheck.” Over the past 10 years, Express Employment Professionals in Crystal Lake has filled “tens of thousands” of positions, said co-owner Terri Greeno of Algoquin. Opportunities like the one Zera was pursuing “allows them to leverage their efforts because we work with hundreds of companies in McHenry County,” she said. “When a person comes in to interview with us, they may be a candidate for any number of companies,” she said. “We can talk to

them about what they’re looking for and discuss their opportunities, and then they can decide what they want to pursue.” “It’s not just a temporary job,” added co-owner Tom Greeno. “We expect the people to do a great job,

and a lot of them then get eventually hired.” Getting a job through Express Employment involves much more than handing in a résumé. “We follow a certain process. We do what we say we do,” Terri Greeno said. “When

people come in, they go through an interview. We find out their continuity, their work history, covering any gaps. We ask them what they can, will and want to do, their availability, their mobility. We check their references and skills test them. Sometimes drug tests and background tests,” she said. Express Employment Professionals provides temporary help and direct-hire employees in a variety of fields, including administrative, commercial, data processing, technical, sales and marketing.

U.S. average rate on 30-year loan at 4.40 pct. WASHINGTON – Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages barely changed this week, giving prospective homebuyers time to lock in relatively low rates. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average on the 30-year loan edged up to 4.40 percent from 4.39 percent last week. The rate is a full percentage point higher than in early May, when rates neared record lows. But rates remain low by historical standards. The average on the 15-year fixed loan was unchanged at 3.43 percent. Mortgage rates spiked in June after Chairman Ben Bernanke indicated the Federal Reserve could slow its bond purchases later this year. The bond purchases have kept long-term interest rates low, encouraging more borrowing and spending. Despite the recent rate increases, mortgages remain a bargain for those who can qualify. Low rates have boosted home sales and prices, contributing to a housing recovery that has helped drive economic growth this year. Greater demand, along with a tight supply of homes for sale, has pushed up home prices. It also has led to more home construction, which has created more jobs.

8BUSINESS ROUNDUP

NEW YORK – J.C. Penney shares jumped 6 percent on Thursday on a media report that the retailer is starting a new CEO search to replace Mike Ullman. Ullman, who had been J.C. Penney’s CEO from 2004 to 2011, retook the reins in April after Penney CEO Ron Johnson was ousted after 17 months on the job after a radical makeover of the chain failed to boost results. CNBC reported that the company is seeking a new CEO and that activist investor Bill Ackman sent a letter to J.C. Penney’s board saying the process should be sped up. Former J.C. Penney CEO Allen Questrom, who ran the company from 2000 to 2004, said in an on-air interview on CNBC he would consider coming aboard as chairman under the right circumstances, if he agreed on the choice of CEO and as long as the board wasn’t hostile. Ackman’s Pershing Square had no immediate comment. Questrom and representatives for J.C. Penney could not immediately be reached.

Measure of jobless claims falls to 6-year low By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON – A measure of Americans who applied for unemployment benefits over the past month has fallen to its lowest level in almost six years, signaling fewer layoffs. The Labor Department said Thursday that the average number of people who applied for benefits over the past four weeks dropped 6,250 to 335,500. That’s the lowest level since November 2007, the month before the Great Recession began. The four-week average smooths week to week fluctuations. Weekly applications for unemployment aid increased by 5,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 333,000. But that’s up only slightly from the previous week’s 5½-year low. The decrease in the four-week average points to an encouraging trend for the job market. Applications, which are a proxy for layoffs, have fallen more than 10 percent since the start of the year. That’s helped drive net job gains this year,

which show the number of people hired minus the number who lose or quit their jobs. Economists were hopeful that the drop in layoffs could lead to some strengthening in the job market. Jennifer Lee, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets, called the decline in the four-week moving average “very good news indeed.” But Bricklin Dwyer, an economist at BNP Paribas, cautioned that the unemployment claims figures so far have signaled only modest healing in the labor market. “In terms of job growth, we have seen a disconnect between the level of hiring and firing,” Dwyer said. Employers added 162,000 jobs last month, the fewest since March. And most of the job growth came in lower-paying industries or part-time work. Since January, the economy has added an average of 192,000 jobs a month, a solid number of net jobs. It doesn’t take many hires to create a high net gain when employers are letting go of so few workers. But while employers are no longer cutting jobs, many remain reluctant to

Layoffs have averaged 1.5 million a month this year through June, even fewer than the 1.77 million averaged in the pre-recession

year of 2006. But total hiring in June actually declined 289,000 to 4.2 million, the latest data available. That’s down from a year earlier and the biggest one-month drop in hiring since June 2010.

8IN BRIEF JPMorgan faces criminal probe over mortgages NEW YORK – The U.S. Justice Department is investigating JPMorgan Chase over mortgagebacked investments the bank sold in the run-up to the financial crisis. The New York-based bank said in a regulatory filing that it is responding to investigations by the civil and criminal divisions of the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Eastern District of California. In May, the civil division informed JPMorgan that it had “preliminarily concluded” that the bank had violated federal securities laws in connection with certain mortgage-backed investments it sold from 2005 to 2007. A JPMorgan spokeswoman declined to comment. The disclosure is just the latest in a swirl of mortgage-related lawsuits and investigations that have hammered big U.S. banks in the aftermath of the financial crisis. The banks have been accused of improperly foreclosing on homeowners, discriminating against others and knowingly making loans to people who couldn’t afford them. Other probes, including the one disclosed by JPMorgan, have focused on mortgage-backed securities, where the banks bundled together their mortgages and sold them in slivers to investors.

McDonald’s sales edge up on better U.S. results NEW YORK – McDonald’s says a key sales figure edged up modestly in July, as a bigger push behind its Dollar Menu and Big Mac in the U.S. helped offset declines in other parts of the world. The world’s biggest hamburger chain says global sales rose 0.7 percent at restaurants open at least 13 months. That included a 1.6 percent increase in the U.S., where it said “everyday value offerings,” breakfast and staples such as the Big Mac drove up results. The company, based in Oak Brook, had warned that it expected global sales to be relatively flat in July.

1. Replace your antivirus software: Even if you still are getting current updates, your antivirus software may be obsolete and unable to protect you from the latest threats. If your antivirus is more than a year old, it needs to be replaced. While free programs are adequate, I recommend you buy a full security suite for maximum protection. 2. Double-check for malware: Malware, viruses, and their pervasive cousins like to sneak past standard security measures. You should periodically use a program like Malwarebytes.org for Windows or Sophos Antivirus for Mac to make sure that nothing has slipped under the radar.

strict the use of applications and the Internet. For younger children, I suggest programs like the free Norton Family, which gives you additional features like the ability to block all websites except those you specify. 4. Don’t forget mobile devices: Your kids will use the Internet from a mobile device far more often than a computer. Be sure to run antivirus and parental controls on smart phones and tablets, too. Be careful, especially on Android, as there is a lot of fake antivirus options in the app stores. Sophos has a free Android antivirus app and Intego makes a paid one for iOS.

5. Block or remove cameras and microphones: Invasion of privacy

3. Lock down parental controls: All computers come with parental controls, which allow you to re-

has become a frightening problem

for computer-using kids. Viruses can remotely activate cameras and microphones, taking pictures of your children without their knowledge. I suggest you tape over cameras on computers, gaming consoles and mobile devices, or remove them from bedrooms entirely.

6. Talk about cyberbullying and online predators: The Internet is far too dangerous a place to let kids wander alone. Cyberbullying and online crime happens, and the best way to protect your children is to educate them on the danger signals. There are some great websites that can help, including Netsmartz.org and the online safety section at Kids.gov. 7. Check video game ratings: Many parents also are concerned about their kids’ video gaming. The ESRB ratings on all video games are a good guide by age level. You also can do an internet search for the name of the game plus “parental guide” and find detailed information on content

Owners credit workforce for success • EXPRESS Continued from page E1 Terri Greeno said one of the biggest demands is for flexible staffing. “Companies, especially industrial and commercial, manufacturing, want their payroll expense to be variable rather than fixed.” And manufacturers long have complained about the shortage of skilled labor. “There has been a labor shortage in CNC [computer numerical control] since we opened,” Terri Greeno said. “That’s one of the first things that we worked to address.” “We do a lot in industrial, but we have really turned in the last year to a big focus into professional and office services,” Tom Greeno said. “We’ve dedicated people to office services, and it’s a big thrust for us. We don’t want to be labeled as only doing industrial.” To meet the demand for professional services, the office started the Specialized Recruiting Group division a couple of years ago. “Professional and contract positions are very resource intensive to recruit because of the skill and the small labor pools – very low unemployment,” Terri Gree-

you might find inappropriate.

8. Monitor in-app purchases: In-app purchases are another danger, as they aren’t always obvious. Many a parent has glanced at their iTunes bill only to gasp in horror at the skyrocketing price of purchasable goodies in Junior’s favorite iPad game. If you feel you’ve been billed in error, contact the company and you might be able to obtain a refund. Giving your kids’ computer the occasional check-up not only will prevent technical problems but also will give them a safer space to work.

Retailers see slow start to key season By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO AP Retail Writer

Terri Greeno is co-owner of Express Employment Professionals in Crystal Lake. no said. “The SRG team has to do a lot of passive recruiting, networking, referrals and build an expertise in the areas they recruit in.” “We do use the Workforce Network out of Woodstock as a resource, too,” Tom Greeno added. Terri Greeno said the staffing agency can have between 60 and 80 jobs available at any one time. “It’s constantly turning,” she said. She said the Crystal Lake office is ranked 14th out of 660 Express Employment offices around the world. She said location has a lot to do

with her company’s success. “We have such a well-educated, reliable workforce, with a lot of businesses in McHenry County,” she said. “So many things are manufactured here. That has a lot to do with our success.” The company employs 14 people. It plans to continue to expand, which may mean relocating in the future.

NEW YORK – The important back-to-school shopping season has started slowly for many retailers. Shoppers, worried about their finances, showed they were more interested in buying discounted summer merchandise in July than in picking up new fall clothing for their children, according to figures released Thursday. Revenue at stores open at least a year – an industry measure of a retailer’s health – rose 3.8 percent in July, the slowest pace since March, according to a preliminary tally of 10 retailers by the International Council of Shopping Centers. The figure, which excludes drugstore chains, was below a 5.5 percent increase in June. Costco Wholesale Corp. was among the retailers reporting disappointing figures. “This raises more concern about the back-toschool season,” said Ken Perkins, president of RetailMetrics, a research firm. “A

vast number of shoppers are sticking to their shopping lists and are being very dealdriven.” Only a sliver of retail chains now report monthly sales figures. But Thursday’s tally adds to evidence that shoppers are being cautious about their purchases for the back-to-school season, the second-biggest selling period behind the winter holidays. On Monday, teen retailer American Eagle Outfitters Inc. slashed its second-quarter outlook because of weak traffic and sluggish sales of women’s merchandise. The teen retailer cited a highly promotional environment that only increased in July. On Thursday, rival Aeropostale Inc. warned that it would have a wider loss than expected when it reports its second-quarter results later this month. It also cited weak traffic and lots of discounting at shopping malls. July is when stores clear out summer merchandise to make room for goods for back to school.

Patti Stanger, who tries to ind romance for millionaires, said, “If you’re going to get engaged, make sure you’ve talked to your partner about life together in the years to come.” If you’re forming a new bridge partnership, make sure you discuss as much as possible, especially leads and signals. When an expert defends with a less experienced player, he can usually signal to tell his partner what to do. Of course, this assumes that the less experienced player is watching and interpreting correctly. However, there will be deals in which the expert will not be sure which way to turn. Today’s is an example. South is in three hearts. West leads the spade seven. South wins on the board and calls for a low trump. What should happen after that? South bravely found a three-heart weak jump overcall. West wanted to make a negative double, but was not strong enough. And East felt too weak to balance with three spades. Note that double-dummy (everyone knows all of the cards), to defeat four spades, South

must obtain a club ruff. To beat three hearts here, the defenders must take one heart, two diamonds, one club and a diamond ruff. So, East must take the second trick with his heart ace. Then West should drop the nine, a suit-preference signal showing strong diamonds. Next, East will shift to the diamond nine. West will take two tricks in the suit and give his partner a ruff. Finally, East will cash the club ace for down one. If you and your partner watch the cards closely, use low trumps to send suitpreference signals.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - Don’t be hesitant to elevate your sights in the year ahead, especially where you work or career goals are concerned. Whether you realize it or not, you’re in an excellent achievement cycle where much can be accomplished. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your prospects for material acquisition look to be especially encouraging, especially in situations where you are doing business with someone of the opposite gender. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It could be a mistake to delegate a critical assignment to someone who has yet to be tested. If you can’t give the job to anyone else, you’d be better off doing it yourself. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you feel compelled to do something for another without any thought of what’s in it for you, it could turn out to be a beautiful experience. Follow your instincts. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Go out of your way to express your gratitude to someone has been quite kind to you lately. Everyone likes to know that he or she is appreciated. It’ll mean a lot. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Situations that have strong elements of friendly competition are always your cup of tea, and today could offer you just such an arrangement. Win or lose, do it with grace, and everyone benefits. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don’t get upset if your ears start burning, because it’s likely that if you could hear all the things being said about you, it would make you happy, not upset. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you haven’t been as considerate as you should be toward a loved one lately, go out of your way to make amends. Hugs and kisses have a magic that works every time. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Make your needs and wants secondary to those of your special someone, especially if the relationship has gotten a bit stale lately. It’s a great way to get it stirred up again. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You should take advantage of today’s trends, which will have an especially good effect on your work situation. Things won’t just happen, however; you’ll need to go after what you want. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you’re an unattached Taurus who would like to find a special someone, it might be a better-than-average day in terms of meeting promising new prospects. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There’s a good chance that you’ll have a knack for finalizing contentious matters to the satisfaction of everyone. Speak up to get your ideas across. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Be sure to compliment someone who deserves praise for a job well done. As long as you’re sincere, it will be far more important to that person than you might realize.
