School official defends stadium City of Crystal Lake, residents say district is disregarding code, concerns

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Leslie Schermerhorn on Friday defended Crystal Lake High School District 155, saying officials met every legal obligation before beginning work on renovations to the Crystal

ning construction. Obtaining city documents is simply a courtesy, she said.

“Schools have a lot of discretion in their buildings,” she said. “The architects and building grounds manager present full plans, and they usually produce a document from the municipality, but

Crystal Lake Mayor Aaron Shepley has said 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.

Shepley contends that zoning variations are needed because the project is more than 600 square feet, the structure

Military standards tighten Local recruiters turning away about three of every four applicants

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com Local teens and young people seeking spots in the armed forces are up against tightened standards for acceptance.

In a county that local recruiters say has no shortage of those looking to join the military, recruiters for the Army and Navy say they’re turning away about three of every four applicants – a number consistent with averages across the country.

“It’s both good and bad,” said Navy Petty Officer Matt Schipper, a recruiter based in Crystal Lake.

“We’re having to turn away people

that this would be a good option for. ... But it’s also allowing us to put the best that we can into the Navy.”

The tightening of expected qualifications aligns with a drawdown of troops and comes as people continue to seek the military for its financial benefits rather than face an unsure job market.

“It’s definitely gone up because of the recession,” Schipper said. “We provide them the means to take care of their finances.”

Navy recruiters have started looking for better scores on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, a military admissions test.

Five or six years ago, Schipper

said, the Navy expected scores from successful applicants to be in the top 65 percent. Today, they’re looking for applicants to score in the top 50 percent.

About 90 percent of those enlisted last year scored a 50 or higher.

And it’s not just the admission test that matters.

So far this year, 98.7 percent of those recruited into the Navy have high school diplomas. About 90 percent of applicants recently enlisted into the Army have a high school diploma, said 1st Sgt. Jeremy Edwards, who’s based in Libertyville.

Under the plan, Hill will keep the longtime GOP insider in his expired term while accepting applications for a successor.

If McHenry County College decides to borrow through alternate revenue bonds, a new law taking effect next year will make it harder to do so and easier for taxpayers to challenge it.

Gov. Pat Quinn on Friday signed into law House Bill 983, written by state Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, which limits most governments’ authority to issue the bonds. Alternate revenue bonds – known to municipal lenders as double-barreled bonds – rely on an identified revenue stream to pay them off. But if revenue falls short of projections, taxpayers are left to make up the difference through their property taxes.

McSweeney said he introduced the bill after college officials indicated they could use the bonds to pay for a proposed expansion and repay the debt from a proposed health club.

But he also cited the village of Lakewood, where taxpayers for years repaid bonds to pay for the purchase of RedTail Golf Course because golf revenues fell short of covering the debt.

“I think this is going to protect taxpayers,” McSweeney said. “The problem with these alternate revenue bonds, like the Lakewood golf course, is that the taxpayers get stuck with the bill.”

FCC to cap, slash prison phone rates

By SUZANNE GAMBOA The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – A decade after families of prison inmates asked for action, the Federal Communications Commission agreed to limit how much companies can charge for phone calls made from behind bars.

The FCC voted 2-1 during an emotional meeting to cap interstate phone rates at 21 cents a minute for debit or prepaid calls and 25 cents a minute for collect calls. Companies wanting to set higher rates would have to file a request for a waiver and could not charge more until that waiver was granted.

“For 10 years, the families and friends of inmates have been asking the FCC to ease the burden of an inmate calling

rate structure. Their wait is finally over,” said FCC acting chairwoman Mignon Clyburn, who took over the interim spot in May. Her voice, and that of commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel, cracked with emotion as they read statements about the decision.

The petition asking the FCC to regulate inmate phone call rates was filed in 2003 on behalf of families after a judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by Martha Wright-Reed against a private prison company. She had struggled to keep up with phone bills while her grandson was incarcerated. The judge directed her to the commission.

Her grandson, Ulandis Forte, a former inmate, was in the audience when the vote took place. He wiped tears

from his eyes when the vote was taken.

Phone rates have fluctuated depending on the provider, the type of call and size of prison facility.

The FCC has said inmates, or people who pay their bills, are being charged fees that range from 50 cents to $3.95 to place calls, plus additional per-minute rates of anywhere from 5 cents to 89 cents. In some cases, a 15-minute call has cost $17, and numerous fees have been tacked onto call charges. Inmates’ families, many of them poor, usually are stuck with the bills. For security, inmates are not allowed to have cellphones.

In addition, companies that charge 12 cents or less per minute for debit and prepaid calls and 14 cents per minute or less

for collect calls will be considered by the commission to be charging “just and reasonable” rates and will be protected from enforcement actions under the new rules.

Also, companies will not be allowed to charge deaf inmates extra or higher rates because they need a relay service to assist them with calls.

Clyburn said the FCC will initiate another regulatory process to decide what to do about intrastate rates.

Ajit Pai, the lone dissenting commissioner, said that while the FCC should have acted to limit the rates years ago, he could not vote for the proposal because it was too complex, and he was uncertain the commission could enforce it.

He said it was likely to trigger lawsuits.

Potter Park Zoo says police received about two dozen calls Friday concerned about reports of a tiger roaming free. Authorities believe a prankster is making phone calls with a warning about a tiger breaking free while being transported outside the zoo. The caller’s identification was blocked, preventing people from determining where the call originated. Potter Park Zoo director Sherrie Graham said tigers, lions, monkeys and camels are safe and secure.

Fla. murder suspect posted photo of wife’s body The ASSOCIATED PRESS SOUTH MIAMI, Fla. – The South Florida man who authorities say killed his 26-yearold wife and apparently posted a photo of her corpse on Facebook told residents of his townhouse complex that he possessed a concealed weapon permit and belonged to a neighborhood watch patrol.

Derek Medina, 31, turned himself in to police Thursday after Jennifer Alfonso was fatally shot inside the couple’s home in South Miami, a suburb of Miami. When officers responded to the home, they found Alfonso’s body, as well as her 10-year-old daughter, who was unharmed.

The public defender’s office was appointed to represent Medina, who initially appeared confused when an attorney instructed him not to discuss the case with anyone.

Medina’s case captured national attention when he posted a public confession of the alleged murder on his Facebook page, followed by a gruesome photo.

“Im going to prison or death sentence for killing my wife love you guys, miss you guys takecare Facebook people you will see me in the news,” said the Thursday morning post.

According to the affidavit, the 6-foot-2, 200-pound Medina said the couple became involved in a heated argument in an upstairs bedroom when he armed himself with a gun and pointed it at her. He said Alfonso left the bedroom, returning later to say she was leaving him. He says he went downstairs and confronted her in the kitchen, when she began punching him. He claims he went back upstairs to get his gun and confronted her again, at which time she grabbed a knife. Medina said he was able to disarm her and put the knife in a drawer, but that when she began punching him again, he shot her several times, the affidavit says.

Leaders seek to speed up lawsuit over lawmaker pay

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press CHICAGO – Illinois Senate President John Cullerton and House Speaker Michael Madigan are trying to speed up the resolution of a lawsuit they filed over Gov. Pat Quinn’s decision to cut lawmakers’ pay.

Legislators already have missed their August paycheck as a result of Quinn cutting $13.8 million for lawmaker salaries from the state budget, and they’re expected to miss at least one more before the next

scheduled court date.

Quinn, a Chicago Democrat, has said his line-item veto was a consequence for lawmakers’ failure to address Illinois’ nearly $100 billion pension crisis.

Cullerton and Madigan, also Chicago Democrats, sued Quinn last week, saying the veto is unconstitutional and violates the separation of powers between the executive and legislative branches. They also filed a motion for a preliminary injunction, asking a Cook County circuit judge to force

Quinn and Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka – whose office controls the state’s checkbook – to issue the paychecks.

Judge Neil Cohen on Tuesday set a Sept. 18 court date to hear oral arguments on the preliminary injunction. That means lawmakers, who are paid on the first day of each month, would miss their September check before the motion would be decided. Under that schedule, it would likely take even longer – and mean more missed checks – for a final resolution of the lawsuit

Ex-Florida Gov. Jeb Bush backs new school standards, choices

By DAVID A. LIEB The Associated Press CHICAGO – Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush defended new uniform achievement standards for students around the nation Friday while calling for states to expand schoolchoice initiatives through more online classrooms.

Bush outlined his education priorities to mixed reviews from conservative lawmakers and business executives attending a conference of the American Legislative Exchange Council, a key behind-the-scenes policy resource for many Republican-led Legislatures.

He said sweeping education changes are needed because the U.S. “has become a global leader in education spending while also becoming a global lagger in math and science.”

The International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement found that while U.S. fourth- and eighth-graders in 2011 scored better in math and science than children in many countries, they were behind students in nations such as South

Korea, Japan and Finland.

Bush is among the front-running contenders for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016. But he made no mention Friday of whether he aspires to follow his father and brother to the White House, despite an introduction from an Iowa lawmaker who publicly referenced his potential campaign.

Republican lawmakers around the nation are split over new Common Core standards being implemented in

many states that set uniform benchmarks for reading, writing and math. The standards are a result of an initiative sponsored by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers. The American Legislative Exchange Council has remained neutral.

Bush said the common standards are a good way of raising expectations for students, many of whom, he said, are not currently ready for college or careers.

President Obama signs student loan deal The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama signed into law Friday a measure restoring lower interest rates for student loans, pledging the hardfought compromise would be just the first step in a broader, concerted fight to rein in the costs of a college education.

Encircled by lawmakers from both parties in the Oval Office, Obama praised Democrats and Republicans alike for agreeing – finally – on what he called a sensible, reasonable approach to student loans even as he cautioned that “our job is not done.”

“Feels good signing bills. I haven’t done this in a while,” Obama said, alluding to the difficulty he’s faced getting Congress, particularly the Republican-controlled House, to approve his legislative priorities, such as gun control and budget deals.

“Hint, hint,” he added to laughter.

But even the feel-good moment at the White House came with reminders of the bitter partisanship that still makes future deals incredibly difficult for Obama.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, called the law part of the “Republican jobs plan,” while House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California said it “stands in stark contrast to the House Republicans’ plan to saddle families with billions more in student debt.”

The rare compromise emerged only after a frenzy of summer negotiations, with lawmakers at odds over how loan rates should be set in the future even while they agreed that a doubling of rates – it kicked in July 1 when Congress failed to act before the deadline – would be bad policy and bad news for students.

The legislation links student loan interest rates to the financial markets. It offers lower rates this fall because

the government can borrow money cheaply at this time. If the economy improves in the coming years as expected, it will become more costly for the government to borrow money, and that cost would be passed on to students.

About 11 million students this year are expected to have lower interest rates, saving the average undergraduate $1,500 on interest charges on this year’s loans.

Boehner called it “a good day” and a fine example of what Washington can accomplish when petty partisanship is put aside.

“With the stroke of a pen, we’ve now officially taken the politics out of student loans,” he said.

Obama cast the student loan deal as just the first of many measures the U.S. needs to make college affordable as a higher-tech economy makes advanced training and education a necessity for many workers.

itself.

So Madigan and Cullerton asked Cohen on Thursday to consider the merits of the lawsuit rather than the preliminary injunction when he hears oral arguments, said Rikeesha Phelon, a spokeswoman for Cullerton.

“This change may lead to a quicker resolution of the case,” Phelon said in an email.

Quinn believes he has the authority to cut legislators’ pay, and argues that lawmakers also have the option of going to Springfield and voting to

override his veto – a move that would require a three-fifths vote and, the governor has predicted, would be wildly unpopular with voters frustrated by the Legislature’s inaction.

He has also said the best option for lawmakers is to pass legislation to address the state’s unfunded pension liability, a shortfall that grows by millions of dollars a day and that has taken money away from other programs, such as schools and public safety.

Lawmakers have so far been unable to agree on a

fix for the pension problem, which was caused largely by years of skipping or shorting state payments to Illinois’ five public-employee retirement systems.

In June, the House and Senate voted to form a 10-member, bipartisan conference committee to try to come up with legislation that could pass both chambers. Members of the committee have said they’re making progress, but a date has not been set for them to present any proposed solutions.

8STATE BRIEFS Northern Ill. man gets 9 years for fatal DUI crash JOLIET – A northeastern Illinois man has been sentenced to nine years in prison for a high-speed drunken driving crash that killed another driver.

The Will County state’s attorney’s office Thursday announced the sentencing of 32-year-old Jason Rymut of the village of Manhattan.

The August 2012 crash in the village south of Chicago killed 26-year-old Bryan Bulger.

His car was idling at a stop sign when Rymut’s vehicle slammed into its rear bumper at 83 mph.

The force of the impact sent Bulger’s car crashing into a third vehicle. The driver of that car was uninjured.

Prosecutors say Bulger

suffered massive injuries to his head and body and died instantly.

State parks getting license plate money SPRINGFIELD – A $2 surcharge on Illinois license plate renewals is paying off for state parks.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources started receiving money from the surcharge in March, director Marc Miller said. The General Assembly approved the surcharge last year. The department will use the expected annual haul of $18 million to $22 million to defray a $750 million maintenance backlog.

Miller said managers are going through to-do lists and setting priorities. He said the

department has been able to make “selective hires.”

Man accused of trying to hire hit man WHEATON – A Glendale Heights man is being held on $1 million bond after authorities say he tried to hire a hit man to kill his relatives.

Matthew Olszewski appeared in DuPage County bond court on Friday. The 23-year-old was arrested Thursday after authorities say he tried to pay someone to kill his aunt, uncle and a third person who was described by the county sheriff’s office as an “elderly resident of the home.” Investigators say he arranged a meeting with the hit man, who was actually an undercover officer.

Obama vows to reform spy program

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama promised Friday to work with Congress on “appropriate reforms” for the domestic surveillance programs that have stirred criticism at home and abroad, and said it is time to recalibrate the United States’ relationship with Russia, which is harboring NSA secrets leaker Edward Snowden.

“It’s not enough for me to have confidence in these programs,” the president declared of NSA domestic intelligence-gathering programs at a White House news conference, one day before his scheduled departure on a weeklong vacation. “The American people have to have confidence in them as well.”

The president announced a series of changes in a program begun under the anti-terror Patriot Act that was passed in the wake of the attacks of Sept, 11, 2001. But none of the moves would alter the basic core of the program, the collection of

President Barack Obama gestures as he speaks during a news conference Friday in the East Room of the White House in Washington. The president said he’ll work with Congress to change the oversight of some of the National Security Agency’s controversial surveillance programs and name a new panel of outside experts to review technologies. millions of Americans’ phone records.

As for Snowden, recently

granted temporary asylum by Russia, Obama said he is not a patriot, as some have sug-

gested, and challenged him to return to the United States to face espionage charges.

On Russia, Obama said that given recent differences over Syria, human rights and Snowden, it is “probably appropriate for us to take a pause, reassess where it is that Russia is going ... and recalibrate the relationship.”

The conference ranged over numerous issues, although the president became especially animated when the questions turned to Republicans in Congress. He said they would risk the wrath of the public if they vote to shut down the government this fall in an attempt to cut off funding for his signature health care law.

And on another congressional issue, he said that while he was open to House Republicans proposing an alternative immigration bill, his preference was for a vote on a Senate-passed measure that would combine border security with a chance at citizenship for millions of immigrants living in the country illegally.

He said he was “absolutely certain” such a bill would pass in the GOP-controlled U.S. House.

Mexico releases drug kingpin Rafael Caro Quintero The ASSOCIATED PRESS MEXICO CITY – Infamous drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero walked free Friday after 28 years in prison when a court overturned his 40-year sentence for the 1985 kidnap and killing of a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent, a brutal murder that marked a low point in U.S.-Mexico relations.

The court ruled that Caro Quintero was improperly tried in a federal court for a crime that should have been treated as a state offense. Prison officials were notified of the ruling on Thursday, and an official at the Jalisco state prosecutors’ office said the 61-year-old drug

lord left prison before dawn on Friday. The official was not authorized to speak on the record.

News media were not alerted until hours after the release, and it was unclear whether U.S. authorities had received prior notification.

Caro Quintero still faces active charges in the United States and Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office said it did not know if there was a current extradition request.

The U.S. Embassy in Mexico did not immediately comment on the release or court ruling, which came on Wednesday.

Caro Quintero is considered the grandfather of Mexican drug trafficking. He estab-

lished a powerful cartel based in the northwestern Mexican state of Sinaloa that later split into some of Mexico’s largest cartels, including the Sinaloa and Juarez cartels.

Caro Quintero is listed as one of the DEA’s five top international fugitives, and U.S. authorities believe he continued to control the laundering of drug money from behind bars.

“Caro Quintero continues to launder the proceeds from narcotics trafficking and he maintains an alliance with drug trafficking organizations such as the Sinaloa Cartel, most notably with Esparragoza Moreno’s network,” said Treasury Department spokesman John Sullivan, referring

to Juan Jose Esparragoza Moreno – also known as “El Azul,” or “Blue” because of the dark color of his skin – who is allegedly a top leader of the Sinaloa cartel.

In June, the Treasury Department imposed sanctions against 18 people and 15 companies that allegedly moved money for Caro Quintero.

“Caro Quintero has used a network of family members and front persons to invest his fortune into ostensibly legitimate companies and real estate projects in the city of Guadalajara” said Adam Szubin, Director of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. Caro Quintero has spent almost all of his sentence at a prison on

the outskirts of that city, Mexico’s second-largest city.

Mexico’s relations with Washington were badly damaged when Caro Quintero ordered DEA agent Enrique Camarena kidnapped, tortured and killed, purportedly because he was angry about a raid on a 220-acre marijuana plantation in central Mexico named “Rancho Bufalo” – Buffalo Ranch – that was seized

by Mexican authorities at Camarena’s insistence. Camarena was kidnapped on Feb. 7, 1985, in Guadalajara, a major drug trafficking center. His body and that of his Mexican pilot, both showing signs of torture, were found a month later, buried in shallow graves.

8NATION BRIEFS Long-delayed Fort Hood trial sees rapid pace FORT HOOD, Texas – Since his arrest in the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Maj. Nidal Hasan has challenged most everything about the case: restrictions on how he can pray, orders to shave his beard, the court-assigned attorneys forced to help his defense.

Yet the Army psychiatrist has barely contested anything in the first week of his long-awaited trial.

The result has been a swift procession of witnesses, fueling speculation that the trial – which the judge originally said could take several months – would wrap up far sooner.

Hasan – who is acting as his own attorney – is accused of killing 13 people and wounding more than 30 others during the attack on Nov. 5, 2009, that remains the worst mass shooting on a U.S. military installation.

16 N.J. garage workers have Powerball ticket TOMS RIVER, N.J. – Sixteen workers from a county garage in a New Jersey shore community hit hard by Superstorm Sandy have one of the three winning tickets in the $448 million Powerball jackpot, and some even came to work for a second straight day after learning they would be multimillionaires, county officials said.

“We are absolutely delighted for this group, a real down-to-earth hardworking bunch of people,” Ocean County spokeswoman Donna Flynn said Friday.

A Minnesota man has claimed his third of Wednesday’s jackpot. The holder of the third winning ticket, also from New Jersey, has not come forward.

McSweeney’s bill will take effect Jan. 1 • BOND Continued from page A1 Under the new law, governments that want to issue alternate revenue bonds must appoint an independent accountant or feasibility analyst who would not benefit from the project to determine whether the revenue streams identified by the taxing body will support the borrowing.

It also lowers the number of signatures needed for taxpayers to force the bonds to a referendum. The bill lowers the signature threshold in districts with 4,000 or more registered voters to the lesser of 5 percent or 5,000 signatures and increases the deadline to file the petition from 30 days to 45.

McSweeney’s bill applies to governments with fewer than 500,000 residents and takes effect Jan. 1.

McSweeney’s fellow McHenry County lawmakers helped carry the bill. Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, was chief House co-sponsor, and Sens.

Pam Althoff, R-McHenry, and Dan Duffy, R-Lake Barrington, carried it through the Senate.

The bill was the first piece of legislation from McSweeney, who was elected last November, signed into law.

Grades matter when joining • RECRUITERS Continued from page A1 And representatives from the Army and Navy say both have tightened regulations when it comes to body composition.

Applicants to the Army previously were allowed up to 26 percent body fat based on measurements taken on their neck and waist. That number has shrunk to 24 percent, Edwards said.

“We have reduced that for the 17- to 20-year-olds,” Edwards said. “We have tightened that up a little bit.”

Edwards encouraged applicants who aren’t yet at the requirements to keep at it, whether it be taking practice tests or working out to cut fat.

He said Army recruiters try to stay in touch with those applicants who might find themselves in a position for enlistment in the future. And he added the Army Reserve is starting to take a greater number of applicants.

“The whole time we spent in Iraq and Afghanistan, the reserves played a more important role that we didn’t see in the past,” Edwards said. “So we’ve kind of increased the workload.”

Schipper similarly encouraged applicants to not get discouraged and to keep working toward qualifying for the Navy’s tougher standards.

For those who’ve identified an interest in joining the military early, he offered a simple bit of advice: pay attention in school.

“A lot of people think that the grades don’t matter,” he said. “They come into our office and they don’t get in because they didn’t put forth the effort needed in high school.”

Regional superintendent: City never requested information on project • STADIUM Continued from page A1 is too close to property lines and is too tall after expanding from 42 feet to 47 feet, 10 inches.

“The district is utterly disregarding the concerns and rights of its neighbors,” Shepley wrote to district officials.

“This is simply the wrong thing to do.”

Schermerhorn said city officials never requested any information about the project from her office or asked to be present for the architects’ presentation – a right provided to municipalities that take proactive measures.

Statute 3-14.20 says “if a municipality ... wishes to be notified of plans and specifications received by a region-

al office of education for any future construction or alteration of a public school facility located within that entity’s jurisdiction, then the entity must register this wish with the regional superintendent of schools.”

If a request is filed, the superintendent must forward plans to the city, which then can respond with discrepancies.

An Illinois Attorney General’s opinion gives municipalities some zoning control over school districts, but Schermerhorn said the bleacher situation does not involve zoning.

“In this case, they were just talking about swapping out bleachers. They weren’t regrading the land,” she said.

“In Huntley, they regraded the entire football field, so it

was different.”

Huntley High School is near completion on a $3.6 million renovation to its athletic facility.

Michelle Rentzisch, director of planning and economic development for Crystal Lake, said the city “emphatically” believes the school district is held to city zoning ordinances and that the issue involves zoning.

She said the area is zoned as a single-family residential space and while the city cannot dictate what the land is used for, it still must meet structural codes and stormwater management requirements.

“The high school was actually annexed in what’s known as a legal nonconforming use,” Rentzisch said. “But all land uses are required to fol-

low land-use ordinances.”

The differences in the Attorney General’s opinion and state laws along with differing court rulings make it difficult to determine where authority lies, said Larry Frang, executive director of the Illinois Municipal League.

“Generally, cities believe schools need to comply with land-use restrictions,” he said. “But it all involves interpreting state statutes.”

Regardless of the legal issues, neighbors of the stadium are upset about the scope

of the project and lack of communication from the school district. School representatives plan to meet with neighbors Monday.

Kimberly Maselbas, who lives directly behind the bleachers, said she spoke to a real estate agent who told her the construction might lower the value of her home anywhere from $10,000 to $40,000.

“It’s going to be hard to find someone who wants to live here,” she said. “We never considered selling the house until now.”

A Unique Resale Shop 61 Polaris Drive Lake in the Hills

Hill: No timetable for replacement process • RTA Continued from page A1 The 16-member RTA Board has financial oversight over Metra, Pace and the Chicago Transit Authority.

Jourdan, who has been the county’s RTA representative since 2008, spent 30 years as McHenry County Republican Party chairman between 1968 and 1998, and about three of those years as state chairman.

He said he wants to step down because “it’s just time” and cited his age – he turns 79 next month. Jourdan said his decision has nothing to do with the ongoing Metra controversy.

“I don’t intend to step down until we get a person in place who can really understand what’s going on with this turmoil in transportation,” Jourdan said.

Hill had said in April she wanted to keep Jourdan on while the fate of the RTA Board was in limbo, courtesy of a bill in Springfield aimed at merging it with the lesser-known Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning. A July 2 vote to reappoint Jourdan was postponed – it was scheduled in the wake of growing lawmaker outrage over a $718,000 severance package

the Metra Board granted to former CEO Alex Clifford with eight months remaining on his first contract. The day before the aborted vote, two McHenry County lawmakers – Democratic state Rep. Jack Franks and Republican Sen. Dan Duffy – urged the County Board to reject Jourdan in favor of someone “independent and reform-minded.”

Hill said she will take an additional step of oversight in that finalists for the seat will be publicly interviewed by a three-member panel consisting of herself, Planning and Development Committee Chairman Joe Gottemoller, R-Crystal Lake, and Transportation Committee Chairwoman Anna May Miller, R-Cary.

“We will put out a call for appointments just like any one of our other appointments,” Hill said. “It will be open and transparent like we do them all. It’s a new day, people want to know what’s going on, and it’s not that difficult of a step to take.”

That extra step also would help ensure that whoever makes the cut will have better odds of being approved by the full County Board. State law allows representatives to mass-transit boards to serve beyond the expiration of their terms at the pleasure of their

appointing authorities, which in the collar counties’ case is the county board chairman or the Will County executive.

Hill said she has no timetable for the replacement process to begin, except that it will be soon.

Aside from voluntary resignation or inability to serve, an appointee of a mass-transit board can be removed only by a two-thirds majority vote of the board itself, or by the governor if a report from the Executive Inspector General finds a member guilty of corruption, abuse or neglect.

But the structures and powers of these boards are being challenged as a result of the ongoing scandal at Metra.

Clifford alleges he was forced out for refusing to acquiesce to political patronage requests. He has accused former Metra Board Chairman Brad O’Halloran and board member Larry Huggins of wanting him gone for refusing a request by powerful House Speaker Michael Madigan to give a raise to one employee and to hire an unnamed person for another job.

Both O’Halloran and Huggins stepped down last week, bringing to four the number of Metra Board members who have resigned since Clifford’s severance deal was approved in June.

Good job, Breanna The Northwest Herald Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs up and thumbs down: Thumbs up: To Cary-Grove High School sophomore Breanna Bogucki, who along with students and staff, filmed a music video Monday at the school. She was the 2012 winner of the Special Talents America competition and recorded a song written especially for her by Jim Peterik of Survivor and The Ides of March. In the song the teen, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder and high-functioning autism, sang about not taking advantage of others and using words carefully – a message we all need to be reminded of from time to time. Applause also goes to Cary-Grove for allowing the video to be filmed there, and Greg Bizzaro, head of Special Talents America and Jaffe Films, who donated his time and equipment to the endeavor.

Thumbs down: To a new state report that indicates that the number of children killed by abuse or neglect in the past year is the most in a quarter century. According to the data, 94 of 223 child deaths that were investigated between July 1, 2012, and June 30, 2013, involved evidence of abuse or neglect, with 45 cases still to be determined. In this era of heightened awareness, there’s no excuse for these high numbers.

Citizens who witness or suspect neglect or abuse must report it to the proper authorities.

Those who suspect abuse can call the state hotline at 800-252-2873.

Thumbs up: To the 676 participants in the Run for Jodi, a benefit for former Woodstock North cross country coach Bruce Farris’ wife, who suffers from multiple sclerosis. The benefit, which took place Aug. 3, raised $40,000 for the National MS Society.

Thumbs down: To more Illinois corruption news after the indictment of former Illinois Department of Public Health chief of staff Quinshaunta Jordan, who is charged with accepting $433,000 in kickbacks for steering about $13 million in grant and contract money to toward specific groups. Golden became the 13th person indicted in a continuing investigation into grant and contract fraud within the state.

Among other things, Golden, who is charged with bribery, mail fraud and obstruction of justice, is accused of pocketing money from grants for breast and prostate cancer programs and HIV/AIDS awareness.

Student loan bill It’s a Catch-22 for many Americans. They can’t afford a college education because they don’t have enough money. And they can’t make more money because they don’t have a degree.

Traditionally, student loans have been offered at reasonable rates. That is, before a faux pas by the federal government nearly forced interest rates so high that it would have meant almost certain financial ruin for loan-dependent college students from low-income families.

On Wednesday, after months of partisan bickering, the House of Representatives finally got it right, passing a bill that will establish the interest rate this year at 3.86 percent for undergraduate loans and 5.42 percent for graduate student loans. The bill, already approved by the U.S. Senate, will also grant relief to those who would have owed the exorbitantly high interest rates on loans taken out after July 1.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Kudos to Quinn To the Editor: I’m not a fan of Gov. Pat Quinn but he has finally done something I do like.

I like Quinn’s decision to withhold lawmakers’ paychecks until they send him a proposal to revamp/ fix the state’s pension system. We are paying the price of our legislators inability (or fear?) to do their job, and job ONE is to solve the state’s worst problem, the pension system.

Hold on, Governor, and use that money hammer.

Country can do better To the Editor: Mr. Evenson’s letter of July 31 contains a factual error and a questionable interpretation.

He writes, “Washington said without the Bible, a democratic government would not be possible.” Our first president never said anything like that. Washington attended church, but he neither took Holy Communion nor knelt in prayer.

Washington did, however, write (to Edward Newenham on June 22,

1792) these words: “Religious controversies are always productive of more acrimony and irreconcilable hatreds than those which spring from any other cause.”

Mr. Evenson also writes that “... capitalism has made America the wealthiest country in the world.”

Maybe several decades ago when labor unions were stronger and we had a bulging middle class, but that is no longer true. Outsourcing and off-shoring have decimated unions; and as unions declined, the middle class shrank.

As a result, in terms of per capita income, America is No. 7. Qatar and Luxemburg top the list and have per capita incomes approaching $90,000, while American per capita income is but $47,000. America is no longer No. 1 in education – although if the statisticians ignored the scores of impoverished children (the bottom 25 percent), it would be.

America is No. 1 in three categories. First, 16 of the world’s top 30 billionaires are Americans. Second, the U.S. outspends the next 25 countries combined on defense.

Finally, America incarcerates more people per capita than any other nation.

Mr. Evenson sincerely believes

Meaty scandal may topple top Virginia state politicians WASHINGTON – “Be nice to the little people.” This 11th Commandment should be in needlepoint on a pillow, next to the one that says, “Don’t confuse brains with a bull market.”

Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell ignored this injunction, as did his attorney general, Ken Cuccinelli, who is running for governor against former Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe.

Cuccinelli was favored to succeed the term-limited McDonnell, a darling of the Christian right who once was considered presidential timber. Now McDonnell has to bat down rumors that he’s resigning while repaying more than $140,000 in gifts and loans from a wealthy businessman.

The scandal – which, unlike some others, is G-rated – begins in March 2010 and plays like a game of Clue in which the prime suspect is the chef in the kitchen with a side of beef. Todd Schneider was a smalltown celebrity cook, the subject of a feature on the Lifetime network, with his own restaurant and catering company. McDonnell hired him in 2010 to cook two meals a day at

the governor’s mansion and to provide the flowers, chairs, linens, rare tuna and wine from his catering operation for official events. When the bills came, the mansion director balked at paying them: It was a conflict of interest for the chef to be getting private catering jobs. The remedy was for Schneider to keep cooking and be paid in foodstuffs from the mansion’s pantry.

So far, so good – until February 2012, when two state police officers showed up, perhaps on a tip from someone who saw a truck pulling up to the mansion’s back door, and Schneider described the food-forpay arrangement. Next thing he knew, the police were at his catering company looking for possibly purloined peas.

At that point, Schneider called one of Richmond’s best criminal lawyers, Steve Benjamin, who, in turn, got in touch with the attorney general’s office to say: If you’re going to go after my client for a legitimate arrangement, let me tell you about some illegitimate ones.

Schneider then spilled the beans about who paid the bills for McDonnell’s daughter’s 2011 wedding, the

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

VIEWS Margaret Carlson first shoe to drop in the scandal: It was Jonnie R. Williams Sr., the wealthy founder of Star Scientific Inc. McDonnell blamed his daughter – until Schneider produced the contract signed by McDonnell, plus the check that had gone back to the governor’s wife for Jonnie’s overpayment.

That was just the tip of the baked Alaska. Williams was the McDonnells’ – and Cuccinelli’s – human ATM. The entrepreneur underwrote a shopping spree to New York for Virginia’s first lady and bought, at her bidding, a Rolex for her to give to her husband. That’s in addition to cold, hard cash: Williams gave Mrs. McDonnell $50,000 in May 2011 and put $70,000 into a real-estate company owned by the governor and his sister. Mindful of sibling rivalry, he also gave $10,000 for another Mc-

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Donnell daughter’s wedding in May. Williams also showered Cuccinelli with goodies – trips, stays at his vacation homes and catered dinners estimated at $18,000. Cuccinelli also made money on Star Scientific stock, which he initially neglected to note on his financial-disclosure forms.

For his trouble, Williams got the personal attention of the McDonnells for his cause. They hosted a lunch to introduce Williams’s sketchy dietary supplement, Anatabloc – an anti-inflammatory pill made from tobacco byproducts. The first lady went on to appear at several events endorsing the product, for which Williams was seeking state regulatory approval. (A state bureaucrat – another little person – refused to roll over for Anatabloc, and it wasn’t approved.)

In February 2013, the attorney general indicted Schneider on charges of embezzling state property. Apparently, Schneider was welcome to take the occasional slab of meat, but the detergent and strawberries were off-limits.

There’s a motion to dismiss pending on the grounds that Cuccinelli –

who later was recused from the case – was hopelessly conflicted when he brought the case. Now Williams has joined the chef in spilling to federal investigators.

McDonnell’s defense is that he didn’t agree to everything that was trucked out of the mansion, only some of it, and he is paying everything back. Cuccinelli has amended his disclosure forms to reveal his financial ties to Williams, and recused himself from the case, although that doesn’t settle the question of whether he brought charges to retaliate against the chef for his revelations.

Cuccinelli now claims the state’s ethics laws aren’t stringent enough, presumably because they didn’t catch someone like him. He’s just called on McDonnell to convene a special session of the state’s General Assembly to consider new rules.

As for repaying the $18,000 in goodies from Williams, Cuccinelli says that particular “bell can’t be unrung.”

That one deserves a needlepoint pillow of its own.

McHENRY MAN DIES IN CAR CRASH A 33-year-old man died after his vehicle struck a tree in an unincorporated area of McHenry County during the early morning hours on Friday.

The man has been identified as Gregory J. Kowalski Jr. of McHenry, according to the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office.

Emergency crews were called to the 2300 block of North Riverside Drive near McHenry around 2:40 a.m. for a report of a motor vehicle accident, according to a news release. Rescuers arrived to find a vehicle off the roadway, sitting upright next to a tree.

Kowalski was traveling north on Riverside Drive when, for unknown reasons, his vehicle swerved, left the roadway and struck a tree, police said. He was wearing a seat belt, and the vehicle’s airbags did not deploy.

The vehicle collided with the tree and was heavily damaged, the news release states. The driver of the vehicle was the only person in the car. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The investigation is ongoing.

Probation for street racing Woodstock man sentenced following crash that killed two teenagers

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Admitting her sympathy for the families of two teenagers who died last year in a drag racing crash, a McHenry County judge on Friday ordered pro-

bation for the man who raced the teens.

Daniel L. Huber, 22, of Woodstock, previously pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated street racing and obstructing justice, all Class 4 felonies. He entered a blind plea in June, meaning there

was no agreement between attorneys on a possible sentence.

After listening to heartwrenching statements from the families amid a chorus of sniffles and sobs, McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather said she was heartbro-

ken for the families but still bound by the law.

Huber’s were low-level felonies, and coupled with Huber’s prior criminal history of only ordinance violations and petty traffic citations, it was probational.

“There’s nothing I can

do as a judge, or the law can do for you folks that can ease your pain, or help deal with this tragic, tragic loss,” Prather said.

“I can’t take away your pain as a judge, “ she said.

CHARLES MILLER ROAD SHIFT PLANNED McHENRY – Both eastbound and westbound traffic on Charles Miller Road will be shifted onto the newly paved lanes Monday, weather permitting.

The project’s construction operations manager, Todd Destree of HR Green, warned drivers in an email alert to expect delays.

The work, which affects parts of both River and Charles Miller roads, is part of a two-phase project that will widen the two-lane Charles Miller Road to four lanes and construct a second twolane bridge over the Fox River to create two lanes of traffic in each direction.

Officials expect this phase of the two-part project to be completed by Oct. 15. Work began in November.

For information and to sign up for updates on the project, visit charlesmillerroad.com. Emails will be sent to those that sign up alerting them where and when construction activities and potential traffic delays will occur.

MOTORCYCLIST HIT

BY CAR ON ROUTE 31 CARPENTERSVILLE – A motorcyclist was taken to Advocate Sherman Hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening Friday evening, Carpentersville police said.

The motorcyclist was southbound on Route 31 when he was hit by a car trying to make a left turn onto Main Street, police said.

The car’s driver turned on a yellow light.

Carpentersville police and the Carpentersville Fire Protection District responded to the call, which came in at 8:08 p.m.

The sergeant on duty did not have the names of those involved.

Southbound lanes on Route 31 and westbound lanes on Main Street were closed for about a half hour Friday evening.

Misty Lichter said. She was rushed to the emergency room, where the doctor told her she had a tumor.

Haley Lichter had a craniotomy to remove the tumor July 10, and nine days later, she was diagnosed with grade three anaplastic oligodendroglioma.

“It was like you see in the movies,” Misty Lichter said.

“They tell you that your child has cancer, and you fall to the floor.”

Having survived the craniotomy, Haley Lichter now will undergo six weeks of radiation, which will be followed by a series of tests.

She also will have a portacath inserted under her skin, which is an intravenous catheter used on chemotherapy patients.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Ted Wagner said crafting the budget for High School District 155 is becoming more difficult than putting a camel through the eye of a needle.

Coming off a year in which the district had an operations deficit of about $1.7 million, Wagner, the district board president, said the uncertainty on the revenue and expenditure sides could tilt fiscal 2014 closer to the goal of regaining a balanced budget or send the district further into reserve spending.

Budget projections show the district could have a $200,000 surplus in operation costs, but that number easily could become a $300,000 deficit as negotiations continue with the teachers’ union and administrators.

The $200,000 surplus assumes salaries and benefits remain flat during this school year, but for every 1 percent potential increase, the district must spend about $500,000.

Wagner said the board hopes to reach a new contract with the teachers’ union before the school year starts, but said he could not forecast the outcome.

“I think we are working very closely with our teachers and working closely to continue to try to maintain some financial balance here,” he said. “We fully recognize the needs of everybody but can only do so much with the revenue in hand.”

The district spent $68.5 million on salaries and benefits last year.

Adding to the uncertainty is the state’s indecision on pension reform and continuous cuts to general state aid and other educational areas. To help guide the district through the financial uncertainty, T. Ferrier was brought on as the assistant superintendent of finance after coming over from Cary School District 26.

In her first budget presentation for District 155 board members, Ferrier showed

Cary-Grove grad fights brain cancer Family will be holding fundraiser to help pay teen’s medical bills

By LAWERENCE SYNETT lsynett@shawmedia.com The life of one CaryGrove High School graduate recently changed in the blink of an eye.

Haley Lichter went from preparing for college to fighting for her life – diagnosed in July with a massive brain tumor the size of an orange and a rare form of brain cancer.

“I went from being a normal high school graduate hanging out with friends to having doctor appointments every day,” said Haley Lichter, 18. “It’s something I never imagined myself going through.”

D-156 preps for wireless, looks at technology upgrades

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – After a failed referendum in April, a scaled-back technology plan is taking shape at District 156.

The district expanded its bandwidth in July – giving teachers the ability to stream videos – and the equipment for wireless Internet has been ordered, Technology Director Joe Zelek said.

News sent to your phone Text the keyword NWHMCHENRY to 74574 to sign up for McHENRY news text alerts from the Northwest Herald. Message and data rates apply.

In preparation, staff is installing conduits and running cables, he said. The district expects to have 95 percent of the district covered by wireless Internet by mid-October.

While the district can’t

afford the $1.9 million technology plan it proposed to voters, it still has to address outdated software and devices, Superintendent Mike Roberts said.

About 70 percent of the district’s devices run Win-

dows XP, an operating system that Microsoft has said it no longer will support after April 2014.

“It’s like driving an old car where they say we’re not going to make any more parts,” Roberts said. “You can still drive it, but if it breaks down, you can’t fix it.”

An update of the operating systems means the district also will have to replace the decade-old devices running them because new operating

systems will not run on the devices.

The district hasn’t decided what type of devices – they’re looking at tablets in addition to computers – they’ll be replaced with, Roberts said.

Over the first couple of weeks, teachers will work with various types of devices and the district will get feedback from staff and the board, he said.

McHENRY COUNTY: COURT APPEARANCE

Elgin man enters not guilty pleas in attempted murder

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – An Elgin man accused of stabbing the mother of his child and her boyfriend denied the attempted murder charges against him.

Jimmy J. Bell, 30, pleaded not guilty to all charges Friday before McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather. Jimmy J. Bell He’s accused of breaking into the Crystal Lake residence of a 28-year-old woman and stabbing her and her 23-year-old boyfriend multiple times in the face and torso. The July 2 incident left the two alleged victims in critical condition, and their injuries required surgery. Both survived.

Since his last court appearance July 30, Bell has been indicted on additional charges, including five counts of armed violence and three counts of residential burglary. In addi-

tion to two attempted murder charges, Bell faces seven Class X felonies, which are punishable by a maximum of 30 years in prison, and three Class 1 felonies. If prosecutors can prove Bell acted in a brutal and heinous manner, he is eligible for an extended sentence of up to 60 years.

In a financial affidavit for a public defender, which was granted, Bell listed his address in Elgin but said he owned property with the victim where the alleged incident took place.

Bell’s attorney, Assistant Public Defender Rick Behof, ordered a psychological exam for his client, while Assistant State’s Attorney Dave Johnston was granted a protective order for the victim’s medical records.

Bell fled the area after the incident, but was arrested six days later in Tuscaloosa, Ala., where he was found at a relative’s house. He’s been in the custody of McHenry County Jail since July 27.

His next court date is Sept.

CARPENTERSVILLE: CRIME

C’ville man pleads guilty but mentally ill to multiple charges Beat woman with claw hammer, then raped young girl

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com A Carpentersville man pleaded guilty but mentally ill to beating a woman with a claw hammer and then raping a young girl.

Daniel J. Happ, 29, of the 1600 block of Seminole Drive, faces between 12 and 93 years in prison after submitting his plea in Kane County court Friday.

Kane County Judge Clint Hull scheduled the sentencing hearing for 9 a.m. Oct. 15.

A guilty but mentally ill conviction means Happ can be placed in a mental health facility to receive treatment, but once treatment is complete, he must serve the remainder of the sentence.

Happ was charged with attempted murder, a Class X

felony; predatory criminal sexual assault, a Class X felony; and aggravated animal cruelty, a Class 4 felony.

Happ was visiting a female acquaintance, who lived in the 1200 block of Brookdale Drive in Carpentersville with her boyfriend and his four children, on the evening of March 6, 2012, according to a Kane County State’s Attorney news release.

The boyfriend was at work that evening.

After the woman and the children had gone to bed, Happ stabbed the family dog several times with a kitchen knife, according to the release. He then went upstairs and beat the woman in the face and head with a claw hammer.

Happ got one of the children, an 8-year-old girl, out of bed, showed her the woman and dog and threatened to do the same to her and her siblings if she did not obey his wishes, the release said. He then sexually assaulted the girl.

District has scheduled public budget hearing for Sept. 17 • BUDGET Continued from page B1 that general state aid could be cut in half within five to six years, falling from just more than $7 million to $3.5 million and eventually even lower.

The primary reason for the drop is the undesirable combination of high property values and declining enrollment, the worst combination in the general state aid formula.

Potential changes, such as shifting the pension burden to school districts or cutting the foundation level, could mean the instant loss of hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.

Ferrier said that even with roughly $55 million in reserves in the operating fund, the district would need to address the structural deficits of last year and this year.

“If I start putting groceries on a credit card, that should signal there is a structural

Members of both families faced Huber before he was sentenced and talked about the effect of the boys’ deaths.

“We just weren’t done with him yet,” Sevcik said.

“I never got to say goodbye.”

Huber posted bond shortly after being arrested last August, but was sent back to jail after he received a citation for public consumption of alcohol while out on bond.

Prather also ordered him not to consume any drugs or alcohol and have no unwanted contact with the victim’s families. He also has to pay a $1,000 fine and complete 120 hours of public service.

Lichter stays positive, plans for future • CANCER Continued from page B1 After six weeks of chemotherapy, Haley Lichter will have to have an MRI every three months.

“Next week, she was supposed to be heading off to college,” Misty Lichter said.

“Now she is fighting for her life.”

Since the diagnosis, the

Budgets scaled back to accommodate plan • TECHNOLOGY Continued from page B1 The district also will put together a plan on how the devices would be brought into the classrooms and how they would be used.

While the district can’t afford to replace all the devices upfront, vendors give the option of financing the devices over five years at zero interest, Roberts said, adding the plan will not put the district into deficit spending because other departments, such as the operations and maintenance budget, have been

“We’ve got to squeeze on our budgets to afford this. The bottom line is we’ve made it a priority.”

Mike Roberts District 156 superintendent asked to scale back.

“We’ve got to squeeze on our budgets to afford this,” he said. “The bottom line is we’ve made it a priority.”

Roberts added the plan will not put the district into deficit spending.

Unlike the grand scheme

presented to voters, the scaled-back plan does not include putting devices into the hands of all the students.

Instead, the school board is thinking about allowing students to bring their own mobile devices and use them, perhaps as early as second semester, Roberts said.

The move raises concerns about inequity among students, he said, but added, “when you can’t afford it, you can’t afford and you need to make due. Kids are resourceful. Kids that do bring stuff in will share and let kids chime in. We know that about our kids.”

This weekend, I'll be accompanying my fiancée as she treks out to buy a new smartphone. She's a fairly tech-savvy individual, and could certainly handle the task herself, but it's more fun for me if I come along. That being said, not everyone can navigate the multitude of devices and accessories on their own. If you've been looking to pick up a new handset, and have been at a loss as to where to start, read on for a few tips.

Do Your Research: The most important way to prepare yourself before walking into your local shop is to know what you want. I tend to trust Cnet or Wirecutter for their reviews, but there are a slew of trustworthy sites to choose from. If you don't want a phone to do much more than talk and text, check out some of the basic handsets from LG or Samsung. They're nothing fancy, but they're reliable and they get the job done. If you want to surf the web, stream music and video, and do pretty much anything else you could want to do on a phone, you've got lots of fun options. Everyone's different, but you can check out my personal picks below for top smartphones. One last thing to keep in mind, and something many forget, is how the phone feels to you. Screens can range from microscopic to gigantic, and handset build quality goes from cheap plastic all the way up to newly polished stainless steel. Make sure you're comfortable with your new phone before you buy it, as you'll surely be spending a lot of time holding it.

Android Vs. iOS: I've owned both an iOS and an Android based phone. Both have their perks, and

both have their downfalls. For simple ease of use, nothing beats an iPhone, but the platform lacks customization. Android makes it easy to tailor your phone to your specific wants and needs, but the trade off for being such an open platform is a slight drop-off in functionality. Not every app will work on your phone, but thankfully Google's Play Store offers a nice refund system. These are the classic, textbook differences. However, as time goes on these two platforms are becoming more and more similar, to the point where the common user won't notice much of a difference at all anymore.

Hold Off on Accessories: Every time I've bought a phone, I've gone through the same pitch.

The salesperson will leave their desk, and return with a slew of cases, car chargers, and headsets for my new phone. The thing is, most of these accessories are exorbitantly overpriced in the store, and can usually be picked up online or at a different store for a mighty discount. Patience pays off big, so don't be hasty.

Top Smartphones: As of this moment, there are three phones that are at the top of everyone's list. The iPhone 5 (duh), the Samsung Galaxy S4, and the HTC One. Right now, the Fiancée has an iPhone 4, and is looking to switch over to Android.

The Galaxy S4 is probably the most powerful phone on the market, and while it doesn't include a ton of useful improvements over the previous S3, it's still a great phone. Where the HTC bests it is in it's construction, as it's smaller, sturdier metal casing beats out the Galaxy's oversized, slightly cheap plastic casing with no contest.

Have a good weekend! Zach

REVIEWS & LOCAL SHOWTIMES OF NEW MOVIES LOCAL SHOWTIMES

ON SCREEN NOW

“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, whiteblonde 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

RL

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”

H

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.

“We’re the Millers”

H 1/2

STARRING: Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis, Emma Roberts PLOT: A veteran pot dealer creates a fake family as part of his plan to move a huge shipment of weed into the U.S. from Mexico.

RATED: R for crude sexual content, pervasive language, drug material and brief graphic nudity TIME: 1 hour, 50 minutes 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. –

Four’s a crowd when daughters visit dad and his new partner Dear Abby: I’m 16 and have a 13-year-old sister. Our parents are divorced, and we live with our mother. We used to see our dad on visitations every other weekend, but he moved away, so now we see him for two weeks in the summer and one week during Christmas. We talk to him a lot and have a good relationship. We’re scheduled to visit him soon.

Dad lives in a one-bedroom apartment, and when we’re there, he lets us stay in the bedroom and he sleeps on the couch. He has just told us he is “coming out of the closet” and has a partner who is liv-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips ing with him. They plan on getting married now that it’s legal. When I asked him what the sleeping arrangements will be, he said he hasn’t figured it out yet, but will work it out.

We’re really not surprised to find out Dad is gay, and we can accept that. But we’re really uncomfortable about spending two weeks in a one-bedroom apartment along with his partner when

we don’t even know what the sleeping arrangements will be. We’d like to find a way to get out of the visit, but we don’t want to hurt our dad, and because of the visitation agreement, he has the right to have us for two weeks every summer. What can we do? –

Uncomfortable In California Dear Uncomfortable: Of this I am sure, your father and his partner will welcome you with open arms and do everything in their power to show you a good time. You and your sister should go and try to be gracious guests. I agree, the space may be cramped, but it’s only for two weeks.

After they marry, they may move to larger quarters.

If you don’t enjoy the visit, keep in mind in two years you will be 18 and no longer “obligated” to spend three weeks with your dad. But if you give this a chance, you may be very pleasantly surprised, so think positive.

Dear Abby: My father-inlaw is considering having my two precious little girls’ names tattooed on his arm.

I’m not a fan of tattoos and would prefer my daughters’ names not be displayed in this manner.

Do my husband and I have a right to ask him not to do

this? Our history with him hasn’t been the most pleasant because he can be manipulative and hard to deal with.

I’m afraid if we tell him we are opposed, it will encourage him all the more to get the tattoo. How should we approach this without causing a ruckus? – Against It In

Oklahoma Dear Against It: You can offer your opinion, but there is no way you and your husband can control what he does with his body. Because the subject has already come up for discussion, it would not be rude to raise it again and explain NICELY that

ly painful cluster headaches.

What can I do to treat, or better yet, prevent them?

Dear Reader: Cluster headaches are rare. Only about one adult in a thousand suffers from them. But they are among the most painful of all headaches. We doctors have theories about what causes cluster headaches, but the fact is we don’t really know. They do run in families: There is an inherited, genetic component.

A typical cluster headache begins suddenly, often waking a person from sleep. The pain is intense, sharp and penetrating. It usually occurs behind one eye. That eye may start weeping and become bloodshot. The eyelid may droop, and the nostril may first be stuffy and then runny. The few patients I have seen with this condition tell me the pain may be so intense that they feel like banging their heads against a wall to distract them from the headache.

After an hour or two, the pain and other symptoms usually recede, sometimes as suddenly as they came on. But they tend to recur at the same time day after day.

Most people have episodic cluster headaches. They have

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff one or two headaches a day over two to eight weeks, alternating with headache-free stretches that may last from a few weeks to several years.

That’s why they’re called “cluster” headaches: They cluster during a window of time, then go away, then come back and cluster again.

Cluster headaches are like migraine headaches in some respects. The principal difference is migraines tend to be a frequent and recurring problem; they don’t come in clusters and then go away entirely for a very long time. Another difference is migraines occur mainly in girls and women, whereas cluster headaches occur mainly in men.

Cluster headaches often are treated with a drug called sumatriptan (Imitrex). It works by narrowing blood vessels in the brain and stopping pain signals from being sent to the brain. When given promptly by injection at the start of a headache, sumatriptan can relieve cluster headache attacks within 15 minutes.

Another effective treatment is inhaling pure oxygen.

Oxygen can be administered in an emergency room or at home from a portable tank. An injection of dihydroergotamine (DHE-45) can quickly alleviate severe pain as well.

You also should talk to your doctor about medication to prevent cluster headaches.

You’ll start taking the preventive drug when your headache first comes on, and you take the medication for as long your episodes generally last. Most doctors start with a sustainedrelease form of the calciumchannel blocker verapamil (Calan, others).

Another option is high doses of steroids such as prednisone, which can prevent further attacks within 24 to 48 hours. Once you’ve interrupted the pattern, your doctor can slowly reduce the dose to the minimum necessary to suppress your headaches. You’ll gradually taper the dose down to nothing.

Finally, avoid alcohol and cigarettes, both of which can trigger cluster headaches.

Usher battle back in court THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Saturday, August 10, 2013 • PlanitNorthwest.com/buzz

A judge in Atlanta is set to hear arguments in a child custody battle between R&B singer Usher and his ex-wife.

Tameka Foster Raymond requested the hearing earlier this week after the former couple’s son got caught in a pool drain while in the care of the Grammy winner’s aunt. Fulton County Superior Court Judge John Goger set the hearing for Friday afternoon.

Raymond’s court filing says the 5-year-old boy “suffered a near-death accident” while left unsupervised at Usher’s home Monday. She’s seeking temporary primary custody of the former couple’s two children.

Usher and Tameka Raymond married in 2007 and divorced two years later.

BUZZWORTHY

Swiss apologize to Oprah It’s a glamorous playground of the rich and famous, filled with glitterati from princes to movie stars. It’s also a land with a sometimes uneasy relationship with foreigners – especially when they aren’t white.

Billionaire media mogul Oprah Winfrey says she ran into Swiss racism when a clerk at Trois Pommes, a pricey Zurich boutique, refused to show her a $38,000 handbag, telling one of the world’s richest women that she wouldn’t be able to afford it. Winfrey earned $77 million in the year ending in June, according to Forbes magazine.

“She said: ‘No, no, no, you don’t want to see that one. You want to see this one. Because that one will cost too much; you will not be able to afford that,’” Winfrey, appearing on the U.S. television program “Entertainment Tonight,” quoted the clerk as saying. “And I said, ‘Well, I did really want to see that one.’ And she refused to get it.”

She brought up the incident during an interview about her new movie, “Lee Daniels’ The Butler,” which opens next week and focuses on civil rights and race relations in the U.S. She was asked to open up about her own experiences with discrimination.

Swiss tourism officials and the boutique owner were quick to offer apologies Friday.

“We are very sorry for what happened to her, of course, because we think all of our guests and clients should be treated respectfully, in a professional way,” Daniela Baer, a spokeswoman for the Swiss tourism office, told The Associated Press.

The tourism office also posted an apology on Twitter, saying, “This person acted terribly wrong.”

Fallons had baby via surrogate

Kid Rock’s beer returns

Jimmy Fallon says he and his wife had their baby daughter with the help of a surrogate.

Winnie Rose Fallon, the daughter of the NBC latenight comic and his wife, Nancy Juvonen, was born July 23. Fallon said in a portion of a “Today” show interview broadcast Friday that the couple had been trying for a while to have a child before succeeding with the help of a surrogate.

The couple kept it all a secret until Winnie was born.

NBC said a more extensive portion of Savannah Guthrie’s interview with the incoming “The Tonight Show” host will be broadcast next week.

Kid Rock’s beer is back.

The musician announced on his website that American Badass Beer is being sold again at DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston, where he begins a string of shows.

It will be on draft for the performances outside Detroit.

Later this year, it will be in bars and restaurants before being sold in cans and bottles in Michigan, where he lives.

The beer made its debut in 2009 but went out of circulation in 2012 after the Lansing-area brewer that made it ran into financial troubles. At the time, the musician had said a new brewer would take over making the beer.

Court grants Bynes conservatorship A judge granted the mother of Amanda Bynes a temporary conservatorship Friday to make decisions about her daughter’s treatment in case the former child actress is released from a facility where she is being treated for mental health issues.

The decision by Ventura County Superior Court Judge Glen M. Reiser came more than two weeks after Bynes, 27, was involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital after months of erratic behavior.

The ruling permits Lynn Bynes to control decisions involving the health and finances of her daughter. It will be in effect until Sept. 30.

Keaton, Levy join ‘Nemo” sequel Disney has found Dory’s parents.

Ellen DeGeneres and Albert Brooks will reprise their respective roles as Dory and Marlin from the original film.

“Modern Family” co-star Ty Burrell also joins the cast. He will play a beluga whale named Bailey.

“Finding Dory” is slated to debut in November 2015.

Disney also revealed at the three-day fan expo that “Up” director Pete Docter’s “Inside Out” would feature the voices of Amy Poehler, Lewis Black, Bill Hader, Mindy Kaling and Phyllis Smith of “The Office.”

PRESEASON: PANTHERS 24, BEARS 17

A work in progress BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush

Mixed bag for Bears in opener CHARLOTTE, N.C. – First the good news. Marc Trestman, Jay Cutler and Josh McCown all agreed leading up to the first preseason game in Carolina that the most important thing they needed to do was get the calls in from the sideline and called in the huddle correctly, get everybody lined up in the right spot and get the ball snapped in rhythm.

Mission accomplished. The Bears had no problems running Trestman’s offense in the 24-17 loss, and that is significant for a first preseason game with a new coaching staff. Trestman’s opening comments after the game included, “I was really happy with the tempo, getting the calls in and no pre-snap mistakes.”

Unfortunately, that’s where the good news stopped as the Bears didn’t execute the offense very well, they failed to take care of the football – turning it over three times in the first three quarters – and the defense was mediocre at best.

You will be tempted to overreact to the fact that Cutler was intercepted on the Bears’ first offensive play, but you shouldn’t. It was unclear whether the ball was poorly thrown or Alshon Jeffery broke his route off too short, and fixing those issues are exactly what the preseason is for.

“My fault, wrong shoulder, bad ball,” Cutler said. “I thought Alshon ran his route well.”

Bears rookie linebacker Bostic makes instant impact

By MARK POTASH Chicago Sun-Times CHARLOTTE, N.C. – It took rookie linebacker Jon Bostic less than a quarter to look like he’ll fit right in with the Bears’ defense Friday night.

After getting burned on a Carolina touchdown pass earlier in his NFL debut, Bostic responded quickly when he intercepted a Cam Newton pass intended for Greg Olsen and returned it 51 yards for a touchdown.

“He was in position,’’ Bears linebacker Lance Briggs said. ‘‘The quarterback threw it to him and he caught it. He got himself into the end zone and that’s special for a guy in his first-ever pro game, that’s

rare.”

Bostic’s interception was one of four takeaways for the Bears’ defense in coordinator Mel Tucker’s debut. Zack Bowman had an easy interception on a bad throw by Panthers backup quarterback Der-

ek Anderson. Sherrick McManus forced a fumble by rookie running back Kenjon Barner and recovered it. And defensive tackle Zach Minter recovered a fumble by Carolina third-string quarterack Jimmy Clausen in the third quarter.

The Bears’ defense played the entire game without defensive ends Julius Peppers (coach’s decision) and Corey Wootton (tight calf) and middle linebacker D.J. Williams (calf). Pro Bowl defensive tackle Henry Melton left the game early in the first quarter with a concussion.

The Panthers scored on their second series after cornerback Josh Norman intercepted Jay Cutler’s first pass of the game and returned it 11 yards to the Bears 18. A pass interference penalty on James Ander-

son gave the Panthers a first-andgoal at the 4. After rookie Khaseem Greene stopped DeAngelo Williams fo a two-yard loss, Newton hit wide receiver Brandon LaFell crossing laterally in front of Bostic for a 3-yard touchdown.

“There were a lot of things we could do better. There were some things we did well,’’ Briggs said. ‘‘When we put on the tape, we’ll all evaluate the things to improve on. All in all, when you are getting turnovers in the game, that is very big.”

Briggs reported no problems in his first game calling defensive plays.

“It went smooth,’’ he said. ‘‘I got the call, I called it out to my teammates, they heard it, they received it, and they played the play.”

NIU’s Youel ready to take next step toward U.S. Open While winning four straight tennis matches this summer at the USTA Midwest Sectional Championship in Cincinnati, Nelle Youel wasn’t sure she could make it through the tournament.

On the court, she won every match in straight sets. But her bigger concern was off the court.

Nelle Youel “I barely packed enough outfits for the tournament,” Youel said with a laugh. “I had never played in that tournament before.”

Youel, who will begin her junior

season at Northern Illinois this month, had a heavier suitcase on her way home from Cincinnati after packing the tournament’s championship trophy.

The victory earned her a trip to the U.S. Open National Playoff, which begins Friday at Yale University in New Haven, Conn. The tournament winner will earn a wildcard entry into the 2013 U.S. Open Qualifying Tournament Aug. 20-23 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, N.Y. “It’s really a great thing to get to go,” said Youel, a Crystal Lake Central graduate. “But going in, I don’t know what to expect. I’m just going

ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino to stick with my usual game plan.”

For Youel, that plan is to grind out matches and wear down opponents.

“I tell myself to always prepare for a three-hour match,” she said.

Youel enjoyed a marvelous sophomore season last year for the Huskies.

She set an NIU record for wins while going 27-5 in singles and 23-7 in doubles. She was the first NIU player

in 11 years to be chosen first-team All-Mid-American Conference.

While going 4-0 in Cincinnati, Youel’s only rough patch was during a 7-5, 6-3 win in the finals against Syracuse’s Maddie Kobelt, an All-Big East Conference honoree.

Down 5-4 in the first set, Youel rallied to win the set and the match.

“I think my attitude really helped,” Youel said. “The biggest thing is just to know that I can beat anybody. [An opponent] may have beaten this player or that player, but they still have to beat you on that day.”

On the court, Youel said she relies on constant positive reinforcement.

“When you’re playing, you’re always talking to yourself,” she said.

“I have things I always tell myself to [stay] positive, even if things are going badly.”

Youel said she is excited about competing against nationally recognized players at Yale.

“I enjoy being challenged and playing other really good players,” she said.

Yet she has not thought about winning the tournament and playing in one of the nation’s most prestigious tennis venues.

“It seems really far off,” she said.

3 AND OUT Three moments to remember

1

Jay Cutler opened the Marc Trestman era in Bourbonnais with a pick at the first practice, and he did the same thing to start the first preseason game. Cutler said later that he needed to get the ball on Alshon Jeffery’s outside shoulder.

Rookie linebacker Jon Bostic read Cam Newton perfectly – though it did help that Newton was staring down Greg Olsen – and picked off a pass to return it for a touchdown.

How’s that for an NFL debut?

The best Bears play of the game came in the fourth quarter, when Matt Blanchard found Marquess Wilson in the middle of the field, and the seventh-round pick did the rest on a 58-yard gain.

2 3

Three who helped themselves

1

Jon Bostic: The Bears might not have to worry about easing the second-round pick into the lineup. He was beat for a touchdown on the first drive on a drag, but had a strong performance overall in a starting role.

Khaseem Greene: Fellow rookie Greene made a great stop near the goal line for a loss in his first NFL action and also had a tackle on a punt return.

Marquess Wilson: In the crowded battle to be the Bears’ fourth and fifth receiver, Wilson stood out. He showed his speed on a 58-yard catch and run and finished with a game-high four catches for 82 yards.

BEARS NOTES

Melton KO’d by concussion Long snapper Mannelly injures rib, replaced by Anderson

By MARK POTASH Chicago Sun-Times CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Bears had a chance to show off their depth at defensive tackle Friday, but it was by necessity. Pro Bowler Henry Melton suffered a concussion early in the first quarter and didn’t return.

Nate Collins replaced Melton and had two tackles for loss – dropping starting running back DeAngelo Williams and backup Tauren Poole for 1-yard losses.

But Melton, who’s playing with the franchise tag and making $8.45 million this season, would be difficult to replace on a long-term basis.

The Bears also lost long snapper Patrick Mannelly, who suffered a rib injury when he was blocked hard on a punt return in the first quarter and did not return. James Anderson handled long-snapping duties in his place.

Hester cameo: Devin Hester came into camp with something to prove after a difficult season in 2012, but he didn’t get many opportunities in the first half. Hester was deep on a punt return only once and let the ball go into the end zone for a touchback. He was so eager to get a return that he took a kickoff with his back foot just about out of the end zone – and returned it 23 yards to the 14-yard line.

Undrafted rookie Josh Lenz (10-yard return) and veteran Eric Weems (14-yard return) also returned punts for the Bears.

The B team: Backup quarterback Josh McCown entered early in the second quarter with an offensive line consisting of rookie Jordan Mills at right tackle, rookie Kyle Long at right guard, Matt Slauson at center, James Brown at left guard and Eben Britton at left tackle.

Edwin Williams replaced Slauson at center later in the second quarter.

Fendi Onobun: Fighting for a roster spot, Onobun dropped a would-be touchdown pass thrown by Josh McCown in the second quarter. In the third, he didn’t appear to finish his route, and didn’t go after a throw from Matt Blanchard that resulted in a pick-six for Carolina.

Eben Britton and J’Marcus Webb: The perceived competitors to start at right tackle both gave up big plays.

Britton was bull-rushed into Matt Blanchard, who fumbled.

Webb was beat off the edge, and Cutler was sacked.

Henry Melton: The franchise-tag player suffered a concussion early in the game. With the extra caution on head injuries, it may take some time before Melton returns.

A matter of discipline: The Bears had their flaws against the Panthers, but they avoided a spate of penalties that often comes with new coaching regimes. The Bears were called for two penalties in the first half – a pass-interference call on Anderson and a holding call on Brown that was declined.

In Lovie Smith’s first preseason game in 2004, the Bears were called for 20 penalties, 13 in the first half and 10 on the offensive line.

Marshall, Peppers out: Wide receiver Brandon Marshall and defensive end Julius Peppers, both of whom were held out by coach’s decision, were among nine players who did not play in the opener.

The others were wide receiver Earl Bennett (concussion), defensive end Corey Wootton (tight calf), defensive end Jamaal Anderson (knee), tight end Kyle Adams (tight hamstring), offensive tackle Jonathan Scott (knee), linebacker D.J. Williams (calf) and cornerback Kelvin Hayden (hamstring).

Cutler 6 of 7 passing after early interception • ARKUSH Continued from page C1 Cutler came on for two more possessions and completed six of seven passes after the interception for 56 yards. His lone incompletion was on third down in his second possession and, on his only other third down attempt, he hooked up with Eric Weems for 11 yards on third and 14 before retiring for the evening. I’d give him a C and move on, no cause for concern yet.

What was disconcerting was seeing J’Marcus Webb beaten badly on an outside speed rush from Charles Johnson and then get beaten even worse on the same play when he tried to push Johnson past Cutler. He allowed Johnson to make an inside move under his outstretched arms to sack Cutler for a six-yard loss.

The play came after Cutler had completed successive first-down throws for 13 and 11 yards and set up the failed third down attempt to Weems, killing any momentum the offense might have gained.

I asked Cutler whether he was surprised he played the whole first quarter and he said, “Well, one and done in the first series and the second series

It didn’t really sink in until I looked down at the Bears’ pregame warmups from the press box in Carolina’s Bank of America Stadium that with a new coaching staff in place for the first time in 10 seasons in Chicago, every single step this team is taking is new and a work in progress.

The pregame stretching routine was all new in Carolina, and just about everything else in the pregame was new, as well. With Marc Trestman’s attention to detail, it all matters, and these early preseason games will be more valuable to the team than usual.

It appeared the decision for Julius Peppers not to dress in Carolina might have been a late reaction to his pregame warmup in shorts and gym shoes. The list of players who would not dress did not include Peppers or Brandon Marshall, who also sat out.

Other than the greeting for Pro Bowl receiver Steve Smith, the loudest cheer from Panthers fans in pregame introductions went to former Bears tight end Greg Olsen – Hub Arkush, harkush@shawmedia.com

was short, so I threw more to get quite a bit more feel.”

“I’ll have to look at the tape, but I told you last week [Webb]’s had some good practices and some not so good, so we have to keep practicing him and look for improvement,” Trestman said.

Throughout training camp, Shea McClellin has looked quicker and more comfortable at defensive end while running everything without contact and mostly at three-quarter

speed. In fairness to McClellin, with both Julius Peppers and Corey Wootton in street clothes, he was asked to do a lot playing both right and left defensive end well into the second quarter. Objectively speaking, he did very little and was not a factor.

Rookie linebackers Jon Bostic and Khaseem Greene both had their moments, especially Bostic, who returned a Cam Newton interception 51 yards for a touchdown, flashing

speed and athleticism. But, for the most part, Bostic was a step behind and a bit lost running against the Panthers first-team offense, especially on a 3-yard touchdown pass to Brandon LaFell coming out of the backfield. Greene had the same issues with the second defense. Both showed real promise, but Bostic is not ready to start yet.

Trestman was excited about the Bostic touchdown and the stamina he showed with the reps he got, saying, “We know he’s real football smart and he’s going to play a lot of football for us but we have to keep working and get him ready.”

One bright spot was rookie seventh-round draft choice Marquess Wilson, who helped his case for a spot on the team with a 58-yard catch and run on a toss from Matt Blanchard and great acceleration after the catch.

At the end of the night, what we learned more than anything about these Bears is there is a lot more work to do before they’re ready to try the real thing.

Rios trade opens outfield for Garcia

By TONI GINNETTI Chicago Sun-Times CHICAGO – White Sox general manager Rick Hahn is counting on two things to help make his team a contender again next season – pitching depth and young major-league-ready new faces in the field. ‘‘Retooling’’ rather than ‘‘rebuilding’’ is the aim of a quick turnaround, and Hahn took another two-fold step Friday by trading Alex Rios to the Rangers Next while opening a spot imMinnesota at mediately for touted young Sox, 3:05 p.m. outfielder Saturday, Fox, Avisail GarAM-670 cia. He was acquired two weeks ago from the Tigers in the three-way deal that sent Jake Peavy to the Red Sox. Garcia, 22, arrived Friday night, too late to start Game 2 of the make-up doubleheader with the Twins. But he will start Saturday in what could be considered the beginning of the new-look Sox. He pinch-hit in the seventh inning of Game 2, striking out with two men on base.

He remained in the game in center field.

The Sox dropped the first game, 7-5. ‘‘We may be seeing a player [Garcia] who could be a very big part of our future, and that’s the reason for some excitement,’’ Hahn said. ‘‘You start with a core of young pitching talent, which is obviously essential to having success and the hardest thing to get in any restoring or rebuilding or retooling. At the same time, in addition to the starting pitching we have, we’ve not only acquired a guy like Garcia who we feel can be a middle-of-the-order impact guy, we’ve also opened up a fair amount of payroll flexibility. ‘‘We started with the young pitching, which made us feel good, and now this flexibility, in addition to a player like Garcia, makes us feel even better that we may be able to turn this around as quickly as possible.’’

By shedding all but $1 million of the remaining $13.5 million owed to Rios in 2014 and what was left for this year, Hahn made it clear that the money will go toward the draft and international signings. There might be money left for free agents, too.

The trade also is expected to bring another promising Garcia to the Sox, with reports pointing to infielder Leury Garcia, 22.

Twins sweep Sox in day-night twin bill CHICAGO – Oswaldo Arcia homered leading off the 10th inning, and the Minnesota Twins beat the White Sox, 3-2, to complete the day-night doubleheader sweep on Friday.

Josh Willingham and Chris Hermann also went deep. Brian Duensing (6-1) picked up the win in both games, and the Twins prevailed in the nightcap after rallying to take the opener 7-5.

The big news came before the first game, with the Sox trading Alex Rios to Texas.

Then, Justin Morneau hit a grand slam and solo homer to lift the Twins in the early game.

In the second game, Minnesota was trailing 2-1 heading into the eighth when Willingham greeted reliever Matt Lindstrom with a leadoff homer.

Arcia, who also homered in the first game, put the Twins ahead when he drove a 1-0 pitch from Dylan Axelrod (4-9) well beyond the center-field wall leading off the 10th.

Glen Perkins hit Avisail Garcia leading off the bottom half, but he ended it by retiring Alexei Ramirez on a fly to right with a runner on third for his 28th save in 31 chances.

That gave the Sox 12 losses in 15 games and wiped out whatever momentum they built by sweeping the New York Yankees.

the Rangers this year but has been at Triple-A Round Rock recently.

The upside for Rios, 32, is the chance to play for a contending team, which needs him after losing outfielder Nelson Cruz to a 50-game suspension. ‘‘I believe it’s going to be refreshing for myself,’’ Rios said. ‘‘I’m going to go to a team that’s fighting for a playoff spot. I believe it’s going to be refreshing.’’

Every Sox player knows the team’s poor play led to the sell-off. ‘‘I liked Alex a lot; he was a great teammate,’’ captain Paul Konerko said. ‘‘It’s just another example of how this season unfolded.’’

Konerko mirrors Hahn in hoping the Sox’s fortunes can improve as quickly as they soured. ‘‘You have to realize how quick things can turn,’’ Konerko said, ‘‘and you spin that in a positive way. If it can turn that quickly [as it did this year], who’s to say it won’t turn the other way quickly. That’s what you try to hang your hat on.’’

Looking up to Cards St. Louis is ‘benchmark’ Cubs want to reach

By GORDON WITTENMYER

Next for the Cubs

Chicago Sun-Times ST. LOUIS – The St. Louis Cardinals called up a pitcher from the minors to start Thursday. They’ve got another coming up Saturday to start against the Cubs. And a guy who is in his first full year in the big leagues starts Sunday for the Cards.

And it’s not because they stink.

The Cardinals have the third-ranked starting rotation in baseball and the thirdbest record in the National League – and what seems like an endless pipeline of quality pitching in their farm system for the Cubs to peruse as they arrive in St. Louis for one of their tri-annual field studies in what’s missing at Wrigley.

“We’re not there by any stretch,” Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer said. “That’s the good benchmark.”

Where exactly are the Cubs as they enter the final weeks of Year 2 of the dredgeand-backfill rebuilding project under Theo Epstein and Hoyer?

For starters, the Cubs might be done with the in-season acquisition process this year – despite a desire to make trades this month via waivers, as the White Sox did Friday when they shipped big-ticket outfielder Alex Rios to the Rangers.

After an active July that netted at least eight pitchers and a third baseman in five trades of major leaguers, the Cubs haven’t been able to test the waiver waters with others they’re willing to trade – Kevin Gregg, Dioner Navarro, David DeJesus, Nate Schierholtz and a few others – because their modest contracts make them poten-

Cubs at St. Louis, 6:15 p.m. Saturday, WGN-TV, AM-720 tial claim targets of too many teams to assure a deal.

“The guys you’re probably talking about are not likely to clear,” said Hoyer, whose only certainties to clear August waivers – $9.8-million Carlos Marmol and $18-million-a-year Alfonso Soriano – were traded in July. “We’ve had a lot of discussions about what we’ll do. …

“We don’t know yet that it’s not likely, but there’s no way to predict it.”

It might mean that what you see is what you get the rest of the way for the Cubs, with most of the moves over the final seven weeks involving minor-league promotions of prospects and the starting pitcher watch at the bigleague level for Jake Arrieta and Scott Baker.

Arrieta, acquired from the Baltimore Orioes in the Scott Feldman deal, will join the rotation for the rest of the season, probably during the upcoming homestand.

Baker, who had three consecutive minor-league rehab starts rained out last week, is scheduled to begin a new clock on his rehab assignment Wednesday, likely at advanced-A Daytona, with an eye on making his first big-league start since Tommy John surgery in September.

Until then, getting a firsthand look at the most-intriguing roster move to come could involve a drive to Geneva, where No. 2 overall

Rare shutout

draft pick Kris Bryant soon could be promoted to Class A Kane County from short-season Boise, pending internal discussions in the next few days.

For now, it’s a weekend of drooling in St. Louis and hoping what they see is what might eventually be on the horizon with some of the dozens of arms added to the system through two drafts, two Julys, two international signing seasons and an winter of activity over the past 14 months.

“I certainly feel much better about our pitching than I did a year ago,” Hoyer said. “You read the game reports and we have better arms down there than we did a year ago. We just have to keep doing that year after year after year after year … because you look at what the Cardinals are doing.”

A-Rod booed in N.Y.; Yanks top Tigers The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Alex Rodriguez drew loud boos in his return home, and the New York Yankees overcame Miguel Cabrera’s crushing home run off Mariano Rivera, beating Detroit, 4-3, in 10 innings Friday night and snapping the Tigers’ 12-game winning streak.

Cabrera temporarily saved the Tigers by hitting a two-out, two-run homer in the ninth off Rivera that made it 3-all. The reigning Triple Crown winner connected while still hobbling after apparently fouling a ball off himself earlier in the at-bat.

Brett Gardner grounded an RBI single with the bases loaded and two outs in the 10th to end New York’s fourgame losing streak.

The AL Central-leading Tigers were trying for their best string since 1934, when they tied the team record of 14 straight wins. That run

ended across the street at the old Yankee Stadium when Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig each drove in runs to down Detroit.

Gardner singled just past Cabrera’s dive at third base.

Al Alburquerque (2-2) took the loss and Shawn Kelley (31) got the win.

Royals 9, Red Sox 6: At Kansas City, Mo., Justin Maxwell homered and singled twice in a six-run sixth and Kansas City rallied to beat Boston.

The Royals have won 15 of their past 17 games to move seven games above .500, matching their best record of the season.

Athletics 14, Blue Jays 6: At Toronto, Josh Reddick broke out of a slump by homering in three consecutive at-bats, and Jed Lowrie and Yoenis Cespedes also connected in Oakland’s victory over Toronto.

Angels 5, Indians 2: At Cleveland, Jered Weaver chalked up another win in Cleveland and Josh Hamil-

ton hit a three-run homer as Los Angeles ended its fourgame losing streak with a victory over Cleveland, which dropped its fifth in a row.

Rangers 9, Astros 5: At Houston, Leonys Martin hit a two-run double in a fourrun eighth inning, and Texas rallied to beat Houston and tie a season high with its fifth straight victory.

NATIONAL LEAGUE Braves 5, Marlins 0: At Atlanta, Justin Upton, Chris Johnson and Brian McCann homered, Brandon Beachy pitched eight strong innings, and Atlanta beat Miami for its 14th straight victory.

The Braves are one victory shy of tying their 2000 team for the longest winning streak since the franchise relocated to Atlanta in 1966.

With only 15 losses at Turner Field, Atlanta improved its home winning percentage to .722, best in the majors.

Rockies 10, Pirates 1: At Denver, Wilin Rosario doubled and homered to drive in four runs, leading an offense that batted around in the first and second innings, and Colorado snapped a fivegame losing streak by beating Pittsburgh.

Francisco Liriano (12-5) bore the brunt of the Rockies’ outburst in his first appearance at hitter-friendly Coors Field, allowing a career-high 10 runs on 12 hits in 21/3 innings, his shortest outing of the season.

Nationals 9, Phillies 2: At Washington, Dan Haren won his third straight winning start while Anthony Rendon and Ryan Zimmerman homered to help Washington snap a four-game losing streak by beating Philadelphia.

Reds 7, Padres 2: At Cincinnati, Joey Votto drove in a pair of runs with a single and a triple, and Bronson Arroyo recovered from his roughest outing of the season to lead Cincinnati over San Diego.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

ST. LOUIS – Anthony Rizzo had a two-run single, Chris Rusin pitched around seven hits in six innings, and the Cubs recorded their first shutout in St. Louis in 16 years with a 3-0 victory over the Cardinals on Friday night.

Rusin (2-1) twice worked out of bases-loaded jams and only set the Cardinals down in order in the first.

He struck out a season-high five and issued two intentional walks.

Kevin Gregg recorded his 24th save to complete the Cubs’ first shutout in St. Louis since Jeremi Gonzalez tossed one June 23, 1997.

NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL

Team feels closer after Camp Shiloh

By LaMOND POPE Sun-Times News Group

Jason Dufner acknowledges the gallery Friday after a birdie on the 11th hole during the second round of the PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club in Pittsford, N.Y. Dufner leads by two strokes.

PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

Dufner makes history 63 sets course record, equals low for major

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press PITTSFORD, N.Y. – Nothing was dull about the way Jason Dufner played golf Friday at the PGA Championship. If anything, it was historic.

Dufner holed out from the fairway for eagle, rolled in a putt across the green for par and kept making birdies until he stood 12 feet away from a shot at the lowest score in the 153 years of championship golf.

One last birdie attempt didn’t even get to the hole, and Dufner had to settle for a record-tying round of 7-under-par 63.

“Probably the worst putt I hit of the day, which is a little disappointing,” Dufner said.

“But all in all, it’s a 63, and name on top of the leaderboard.

So that’s a great position to be playing from.”

It was the third time in the past seven years at the PGA Championship that a player had a putt at becoming the first player to shoot 62 in a major.

Tiger Woods circled the hole at Southern Hills in 2007. Steve Stricker narrowly missed at Atlanta Athletic Club two years ago.

PGA Championship glance PITTSFORD, N.Y. – A glance at Friday’s second round of the PGA Championship at 7,163-yard, par-70 Oak Hill Country Club (East Course): Leading: Jason Dufner, who shot 7-under-par 63 and was at 9 under.

Pursuing: First-round co-leaders Adam Scott and Jim Furyk, and Matt Kuchar were two shots back.

Tiger watch: Tiger Woods shot even-par 70 and lost ground. He was 10 strokes behind Dufner.

Key statistic: The cut was at 143, lowest at a PGA Championship since 2001 at Atlanta Athletic Club.

TV Saturday: 10 a.m.-1 p.m., TNT; 1-6 p.m., CBS. Dufner didn’t feel disappointed for long.

On a rain-softened Oak Hill, where pelt-sized divots were flying and birdies were falling, Dufner surged to a two-shot lead over Masters champion Adam Scott, Jim Furyk and Matt Kuchar. At 9-under 131, Dufner tied the 36-hole record at the PGA Championship he now shares with six other players.

Dufner was alone at the top, and in the company of some big names in history.

His 63 broke the course record at Oak Hill held by Ben Hogan, Curtis Strange and Webb Simpson, who shot 64

about five hours earlier. Dufner became the 24th player to shoot 63 in a major – Greg Norman and Vijay Singh, both in the Hall of Fame, did it twice.

And through it all, he barely cracked a smile.

“He’s very calm,” said Stricker, who played alongside Dufner. “I’m sure he was churning on the inside. He just told me while we were signing our cards, he was like, ‘This is a lot for a Friday.’”

The possibilities were endless on a day that began with three hours of a steady rain until the sun broke through and took all the bite out of Oak Hill.

Simpson also had a chance at 63 until he made a bogey on the 16th hole of his round. U.S. Open champion Justin Rose shot 29 on the front nine to get back into contention. When the second round finally ended, 27 players remained under par – this on a course that is stubborn when it comes to par.

For all the low scores, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson were left behind.

Woods couldn’t get anything going, exchanging birdies with bogeys during a poor putting round that led to an even-par 70. He was at 1-over 141 and 10 shots back going into the weekend.

Mickelson was all over Oak Hill and still managed a 34 on the back nine until his wild shots caught up with him. Another 71 left him 11 shots out of the lead.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The cellphone reception at Camp Shiloh was, according to Notre Dame running back Amir Carlisle, “in and out.”

The Irish found other ways to connect during the team’s four days in Marion, Ind. Notre Dame wanted to get away. Away from TVs. Away from reporters. And away from the 2012 season.

Coach Brian Kelly said the Irish were able to accomplish all that and more with the trip to Shiloh Park Retreat and Convention Center.

“We wanted the focus to be on themselves,” Kelly said Friday. “They learned that you can in fact survive without social media and a television. They did make it through four days without it. That opportunity to work on themselves and the coaches to be part of that process was a great jumpstart on 2013.

“And not talking about Manti Te’o or the Alabama game or what happened last year and all that other [stuff]. We were able to focus on this year and ourselves.

And that’s a good thing. It was a good four days for us.

The emphasis here was on this team and on individuals. They were able to focus on themselves and their teammates and their coaches. That was the focus, and I think we achieved that.”

Notre Dame returned to campus for practice Friday.

But the players said the four days at Shiloh Park will have a lasting impact.

“It built a connection,” defensive end Stephon Tuitt said. “It built team chemistry, more of it. It gave us a sense of focus heading into the new season and having a great mindset starting off this camp.”

A camp, in Kelly’s estimate, that is off to a strong start.

For now, Youel said she is working on her off-the-court concern while in Connecticut.

“My parents and I are already trying to find a laundromat,” she said.

ISU’s Rosch wins MVP: CaryGrove grad Ashley Rosch, a sophomore volleyball player at Illinois State, was named the Most Valuable Player at last month’s High Performance Championships in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Rosch was playing in the tournament as a member of USA Volleyball’s women’s junior A1 national team. She helped her squad to a 7-1 record and the tournament title against teams from Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile and the U.S. Playing in the women’s international junior division of the tournament, Rosch’s team was coached by former U.S. Olympian Rod Wilde.

Rosch will begin her sophomore season for ISU Aug. 30 when the Redbirds compete at the IUPUI tournament. Last

season, Rosch became only the sixth freshman in Missouri Valley Conference volleyball history to be named first-team all-conference. She also was the MVC’s Freshman of the Year.

Scott Martini joins the Illinois STIX Baseball Program to Coach the Illinois STIX SELECT Team for the Fall 2013 and Summer 2014 Season. Martini’s coaching career has seen 12 players selected in the MLB draft, 2 NCAA All Americans and many other players chosen to play NCAA Division I Baseball.

Coach Martini is looking for Players ages 16 and 17 to tryout.

Professional Training will be provided 4 days a week from November through February with a fall schedule for practice and games. We specialize in Training and Development to give every player who wants to work hard the opportunity to reach his potential. Trained Professionals will coach Speed Training, Pitching, Hitting and Catching for our off-season practices in our Year Round Facility.

Coach Martini is ready to develop the next Player of the Year in McHenry County as he did with Bryan Klendworth.

McHenry County ice skating fans have an opportunity to get a close look at Olympic hopeful Gracie Gold.

Gold, who competes for the Wagon Wheel FSC club, which is based in Crystal Lake and Northbook, will be at the Crystal Ice House, where a skate and greet is being hosted from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday. Gold, the current U.S. silver medalist, will be helping three on-ice classes for about an hour.

She also will skate an exhibition and be available to sign autographs and take photos.

The 17-year-old, who lives in Elk Grove Village, finished sixth at this year’s World Championships, which guaranteed the U.S. would have three female skaters at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, in February.

Rosch MVP of volleyball tourney • ON CAMPUS Continued from page C1

“Some of the best competitive practices that I’ve coached in a long time,” Kelly said. “Now, we haven’t played a game. And I’m not saying that that equals 13 wins. But I’ve coached a lot of football. It’s been very competitive. It’s fast football. It’s as fast as I’ve seen here at Notre Dame. Hope that translates into winning football.

“We still have got to put points on the board and stop people, but the practices have been intense, competitive. There’s depth. There’s young players that are going to play for us. Veterans that are going to play for us that have seen a lot of football.

There is a good mix.”

That mix is evident at running back. George Atkinson III and Cam McDaniel are the top returning rusher.

Carlisle missed all last year because of an injury. Kelly has been “very pleased” with what he’s seen out of freshman Greg Bryant and redshirt freshman Will Mahone.

“We’ve got a lot of depth there and guys that can help us win,” Kelly said.

Quarterback Tommy Rees looked sharp Friday, particularly in red-zone drills.

“He’s kept some plays alive that he had not been able to do in the past. He’s turned some negative plays he had in the past into zero or plus-five or plus-seven,” Kelly said. “That might not sound much to you, but if you can keep out of thirdand-long, that is huge for us in terms of managing a game. That’s been good for us.”

Rees has done a better job throwing the fade in the short field.

“He’s worked hard on that,” Kelly said. “By and large, the gradual of improvement from last year to this year, we’ve seen it. He still has a lot of things that he wants to improve on and we want him to improve on, but he’s definitely made improvements.”

Linda Costoff, owner of Intrigue Fitness, teaches a beginner pole-dancing fitness class at Intrigue Fitness in Lake in the Hills. Intrigue Fitness offers a wide variety of exercise classes, from hula hoop workouts and cardio classes to pole-dancing and pilates.

Intrigue Fitness What: A fitness center offering a range of classes, including pole-dancing workouts and cardio dance, as well as personal training, private parties and group classes Where: 9115 Trinity Drive, Lake in the Hills Phone: 224-678-9943 Website: www.intrigue-fitness. com feeling, driving all the way to Chicago to enter a world she knew almost nothing about.

But she quickly fell in love with it, and she found she had a natural ability.

When her friends started asking Costoff to teach them, she decided to open her own place.

“I dropped out of school

to be a pole dancer,” she said, laughing. “That’s kind of my joke.”

In the early stages, Costoff geared her marketing toward the other classes, trying to avoid the stigma associated with pole-dancing.

But she found that many of her customers were most interested in the pole classes, which Costoff says offer unmatched upper body and core workouts.

She’s recently refocused her marketing efforts toward pole-dancing.

The center offers four beginner classes, which customers purchase on a class-by-class basis before deciding whether they want to proceed with an eight-week session.

Some customers come in simply to try out pole-dancing, Costoff said, but there’s

a considerable group in it for the fitness gains.

Melinda Newman, of Algonquin, said she was a little uneasy about the stigma involved with attending a pole-dancing class when she started nine months ago, but those doubts have faded.

“It’s a completely different use of your muscles,” she said. “Just the upper body strength that you have to gain.”

Newman, a mother of three boys, also attends some of the other classes Intrigue offers.

“A lot of us are young mothers that go there,” she said. “It brings back the sexiness after having all these kids. Your body is just not the same, and it allows us to get that femininity back that we lose after having children.”

CRYSTAL LAKE – Two McHenry County hospitals got $360,000 in state healthcare grants as part of a capital construction program.

Gov. Pat Quinn announced the grants Thursday.

Centegra Hospital-McHenry received $157,180, which it will use to relocate and renovate its infusion center. Centegra Hospital-Woodstock received $205,015, which it plans to invest in renovating its radiography and fluoroscopy rooms.

The grants are part of $24.3 million set aside this fiscal year in the Illinois Jobs Now! capital construction program to address the critical needs of healthcare institutions outside of the Chicago metro area, according to a press release.

Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville also received $325,525, for a total of more than $687,000 given to McHenry and Lake County hospitals.

“It is crucial that hospitals have the most up-to-date facilities and equipment to deal with the healthcare needs of Illinois residents,” Quinn said.

“These grants will help Lake and McHenry County hospitals provide better service to their patients.”

The relocation of Centegra Hospital-McHenry’s infusion center, which is used for chemotherapy treatment, will allow the hospital to house the center in its cancer treatment facility. The grant will also allow the hospital to add two infusion treatment areas.

“It improves patient safety, patient access, and their quality of care,” said Susan Milford, senior vice president of strategy and development for Centegra. “We’re very excited about that.”

Centegra Hospital-Woodstock will be able to relocate and renovate its radiology room that has been in the same space since 1994, Milford said.

Private hospitals have received $150 million for healthcare needs so far under Quinn’s Illinois Jobs Now! capital construction program.

U.S.: Japan has long way to go to open markets WASHINGTON – Japan still has a long way to go before it can say its markets are open, the top U.S. trade official said Friday.

Trade Representative Michael Froman said he hopes Japan’s recent entry into the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade negotiations will provide opportunities to tear down those barriers.

In their long history of trade disputes, the U.S. has alleged Japanese markets are closed to imports because of restrictive practices that are tolerated or even encouraged by the government.

U.S. wholesale stockpiles fell 0.2 percent in June

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON – U.S. wholesalers cut their stockpiles in June for a third straight month even as their sales rose again.

Businesses may need to speed up restocking if demand continues to increase, a trend that could boost economic growth in the second half of the year.

The Commerce Department said Friday wholesale stockpiles fell 0.2 percent in June from May. That follows a 0.6 percent drop in May – the biggest in 20 months – a modest 0.1 percent decline in April.

Wholesalers haven’t shrunk their

stockpiles for three months or longer since September 2009, which was three months after the Great Recession ended. The decline shows many remain cautious and are keeping inventories lean, despite three straight months of solid sales growth.

In June, sales at the wholesale level rose 0.4 percent. That followed a 1.5 percent increase in May and a 0.8 percent gain in April.

Stronger sales could lead to more restocking in the July-September quarter and drive more economic growth.

Faster growth in stockpiles means companies are ordering more goods from U.S. factories.

The government reported last

month the economy grew at a lackluster 1.7 percent annual rate from April through June.

Economists expect the growth rate will be revised much higher after a report this week showed U.S. companies exported a record number of goods in June.

Jim O’Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, said he now expects overall economic growth will be revised up to a rate of around 2.3 percent.

Joel Naroff, chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors, said some of the reduction in wholesale stockpiles might have been involuntary, as businesses underestimated sales demand and had to draw down

stockpiles more than they had expected.

He said that with auto sales remaining strong, inventory gains should rise in the coming months and help support economic growth in the second half of the year.

In June, stockpiles at the wholesale level were $499.7 billion. That’s up only 2.9 percent from a year ago but 29.3 percent higher than the recession low in 2009.

Auto stockpiles fell 1.5 percent in June from May, while inventories of metals such as steel declined 0.4 percent.

The sales gain was led by a 1.5 percent increase in furniture and a 0.5 percent rise in auto sales

Learning from market corrections There is no way around it – markets generally move in cycles.

Although the past is no guarantee of the future, historically, the stock market has spent more time on bullish advances than on bearish retreats – which is why stocks have been considered a good investment over the years. The market also tends to retrench more than the average investor would like to think about. The traditional definition of a bear market is a 20 percent or greater decline in stock prices as measured by the Dow Jones Industrial Average or other relevant index. A full-fledged bear market can persist for many months or, in rare cases, years.

Some corrections, on the other hand, are sharp, but brief, lasting only a day or two – such as the Dow’s 500-point drop in October 1987 – or for a few weeks. Sometimes a short, dramatic decline serves as a prelude to a lengthier downturn. The 1929 crash and subsequent three-year bear market, which saw the Dow lose almost 90 percent of its value, illustrates this latter possibility.

Government and securitiesindustry officials are constantly learning from their experiences with previous declines. Regulations established in the wake of the 1929-1932 bear market have helped prevent another decline of similar magnitude. For example, margin requirements were raised from 10 percent to 50 percent to prevent investors from becoming excessively leveraged (indebted) the way many were in the months leading up to the 1929 crash.

More refinements were introduced after the 1987 correction, including our current system of circuit-breakers. In theory, these circuit-breakers would stretch out a decline over several days rather than allow it to gain momentum immediately. The assumption is the additional time would help curb panic selling.

Although the securities industry is committed to doing everything in its power to protect investors, it cannot prevent market corrections. It is essential for investors to take responsibility for their own investment activity and to arm themselves with as much knowledge as possible about the risks and potential rewards of investing.

In the 1930s, the Cowles Commission, formed to guide investors through the aftermath of the 1929 crash, came up with five essential rules for successful investing, which are still applicable today: 1. Invest for the long term. While the stock market can be risky over the short term, risk decreases as

Priceline.com’s headquarters in Norwalk, Conn. Priceline.com came close to becoming the first stock in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index to ever cross $1,000.

Priceline stock nears historic mark

By SCOTT MAYEROWITZ The Associated Press NEW YORK – Priceline.com came close Friday to becoming the first stock in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index to ever cross $1,000.

Investors jumped onboard after the travel booking company reported better-than-expected secondquarter earnings. The stock rose to almost $995 before leveling off. In afternoon trading, Priceline was up 5 percent to $980.66.

The company’s stock hasn’t been this high since it had an adjusted closing price of $974.27 on April 30, 1999, a month after going public in the heady days of the dotcom boom.

The stock dropped below $10 just two years later.

Online travel sites like Priceline, Expedia and Orbitz have their roots in booking airline tickets, but have branched out because of a decline in commissions the airlines pay them. Priceline has been the most aggressive and successful in diversifying through several companyowned sites including Booking. com, Agoda and Rentalcars.com.

Priceline got its start asking travelers to “Name Your Own Price” and bid on flights, hotel rooms and car rentals. Bidders didn’t know in advance what hotel or flight they would be on, and the booking was non-refundable, but the savviest could save substantially as travel providers tried to fill unused rooms, cars or seats on planes. The company hired William Shatner as its pitchman, calling him “the negotiator.” Priceline still offers its bidding service but has mostly shifted to more traditional bookings and travel packages.

The key to its success in the last quarter was overseas hotel markets. Domestic bookings grew at a respectable 12 percent in the second

quarter, but international growth was red-hot, up 44 percent from last year.

The number of hotels that list their properties on the booking sites is growing. Booking.com now has 330,000 hotel properties, up from 295,000 reported last quarter, many of them added in Europe and Asia. The Norwalk, Conn. company is paid a commission for each room sold.

The number of rental car days booked from rentalcars.com and Priceline.com also grew at an impressive 46 percent.

The company also spent heavily on advertising, increasing its online budget by 47 percent.

Profit in the April-to-June quarter rose 24 percent to $437.3 million, or $8.39 per share, compared with the same quarter a year ago. Excluding one-time items such as acquisition costs and expenses related to paying employees with stock, earnings came to $9.70 per share.

Revenue increased 27 percent, to $1.68 billion, from $1.33 billion.

Analysts, on average, were expecting profit of $9.38 per share on revenue of $1.65 billion, according to FactSet. In May, Priceline completed the purchase of search and booking site Kayak for $1.8 billion in cash and stock. Analysts predict that deal will eventually help drive more travelers to its other sites to make bookings.

“We believe that Priceline’s market share gains will continue given its best-in-class hotel inventory, while the likely deployment of Kayak in more international geographies should open further avenues for growth over the next 12-18 months,” Cantor Fitzgerald analysts Naved Khan, Youssef Squali and Kip Paulson wrote in a note to investors late Thursday.

LOCAL FINANCE Patrick S. O’Connor your investment time horizon lengthens. A good rule of thumb is that stock and bond investments should be funded with money you won’t need for at least five years.

Some investors hope to improve their returns by selling a portion of their holdings just before a correction. Such “market timing” is something that even professional investors find difficult to do well with any consistency and is not recommended for the average investor.

Aside from the very real difficulty of identifying the end of one market phase and the beginning of a new one, the basic emotions of greed and fear work strongly against those who attempt market timing, constantly tempting them to overstay their positions in a bull market and to remain on the sidelines for too long in a bear market.

2. Invest systematically. One way to avoid the timing dilemma is to use a simple strategy called dollarcost averaging – the practice of investing a fixed amount of money in a particular investment at regular intervals. Because the amount invested remains constant, the investor buys more shares when the price is low and fewer shares when the price is high. This means that the average cost per share tends to be lower than the average market value of the investment over the same period.

Dollar-cost averaging cannot eliminate the risks of investing, guarantee a profit or protect against a loss in declining markets. The success of the program depends on making regular purchases through advancing and declining market periods – and on selling when your investment is worth more than the average price you paid. Since such a plan involves continuous investment in securities, investors should consider their financial ability to continue purchases through periods of low price levels. But dollar-cost averaging does offer a disciplined method of investing in the securities markets and lowers the price you have to get to break even.

3. Diversify investments. When people think about investing their money, they probably envision themselves comparing the merits of various investments. But before they get to that step, there is a more basic decision to make: asset allocation. Asset allocation is the percentage of investment funds

an investor allocates among asset classes such as stocks, fixed income, cash equivalents and tangibles/real estate.

The decision is an important one. A study of large pension funds determined that a pension manager’s allocations among asset classes had a far greater long-term effect on returns than the individual securities selected. Of course, asset allocation or investment timing cannot eliminate the risk of fluctuating prices and uncertain returns.

4. Buy quality. Periodically, investors become enamored with initial public offerings (IPOs). For those who know how to invest in them and understand the risks, IPOs can be an appropriate investment. By definition, however, IPOs involve companies whose stocks are untested in public trading. The average investor should approach this arena with extreme caution and commit no more than a small percentage of investment capital to it.

At the other end of the spectrum are the many companies with histories of consistent sales and earnings growth. Although nothing is guaranteed in the investment markets, there is a lower probability that such companies will drop off the investment map during a correction. Rather, a correction presents investors with the opportunity to acquire more shares of historicallyseasoned, financially-sound companies at reasonable prices.

5. Get professional advice. Each investor brings a different outlook and level of sophistication to the markets. Most investors can benefit from some degree of professional input. Whether that means professional research on individual securities, advice on asset allocation, or entrusting money to professional portfolio managers, investment professionals are great resources for helping investors achieve their financial goals.

Particularly during corrections, it helps to have a coherent investment strategy worked out in advance and to be able to keep that strategy clearly in mind as events unfold. A qualified investment professional can help plan a sound investment strategy.

Robert Fitzgerald, a translator of ancient Greek and Latin who died in 1985, said, “The test of a given phrase should be: Is it worthy to be immortal? ‘I guess I’ll split’ is not going to be immortal.”

Bridge players occasionally have to guess about a suit split. But they prefer not to need a favorable split to get home. This deal, as if you could not guess, is an example.

South is in ive diamonds. West starts with the spade ace and another spade.

Declarer takes the trick and cashes the diamond ace, West discarding a spade.

How should South continue?

South was too strong to open one no-trump, showing 15-17 points. When West leaped majestically to three spades, indicating a seven-card suit and some 6-10 high-card points, North bravely competed with four diamonds. Now South wondered about suggesting a slam, but had a lot of losers.

Declarer had two aces to concede, so needed the club inesse to work. He also could not afford a second heart loser, but did not wish to rely on a 3-3 break or the

10 dropping doubleton.

South played a diamond to dummy’s king and called for the 10. To keep declarer out of the dummy, East covered with his jack. South won with his queen, played a diamond to dummy’s eight, and took the club inesse. When it won, declarer cashed the club ace and now carefully led the heart jack. East won and returned a heart, but South then led dummy’s club jack and ruffed away East’s king.

Back to dummy with a heart, declarer cashed the club 10 and discarded his last heart.

Nicely done!

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - Being a bit more restless than usual in the year ahead could work to your advantage. Instead of merely sitting on your numerous ideas, chances are you’ll start looking for ways to use them, and in doing so, find all kinds of profitable outlets.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- When you look for opportunities to better your lot in life, chances are you’ll find them. However, all you’ll get is disappointment if you fly too close to the sun. Be realistic and don’t overstep your bounds.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Do not discount any hunches you get concerning your business, finances or work- related affairs. Any one of them could lead you to a valuable asset or help avert a minor catastrophe.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Someone you meet could be worth getting to know better. Chances are, however, it will be up to you to extend the hand of friendship. This person is much too reserved to do so.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If you find yourself in a situation that includes a number of people whom you don’t know, don’t be shy. Making new acquaintances will give you that lift you’ve been looking for.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Go ahead and develop any ambitious ideas that come to you. Chances are they won’t be as far-fetched as you or anybody else thinks.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- An associate is likely to impress you with his or her progressive ideas.

You’ll likely be able to adapt them to your immediate needs.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You’ll know how to put into play what others are merely talking about. Acting first will give you a big edge over your competition.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If there is some kind of special information that you need, don’t wait for it to come to you. Get on the phone or Internet and contact people who have the answers.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- This can be a very productive day if you focus on projects that require deep ratiocination. You’re well-equipped to handle duties or jobs of this ilk.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Use your head instead of your muscles when it comes to a major project that is in need of good management. The best way to get desirable results is to think your way through things.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Be a good listener, because there is a good chance that some businessrelated information that has eluded you will come your way. Keep your ears open and your mind alert.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Keep your expectations within reasonable bounds and you’ll have a profitable day. If, however, you look for more than you deserve, it’ll be another story.

Teeth in a Day Procedure with All-On-Four Dental Implants ‘‘Like having a second set of permanent teeth’’ Dr. M. Shakeel Licensed General Dentist

Dr. C. Matesi Licensed General Dentist

By Dr. M. Shakeel LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO NOT FULLY ENJOY EACH AND EVERY REASON TO SMILE If you find yourself avoiding family photos, first impressions or even savoring your favorite foods, Dr. Shakeel’s unique dental implant techniques offer the solutions you’ve been searching for.

The All-On-Four Dental Implants procedure - Teeth in a Day - offers simple, reliable and long-lasting results for patients who are missing teeth or experiencing the frustrations of loose, decayed and broken teeth. Though advanced technology and innovative techniques, dental implants are easier to place, less invasive and have a successful rate of over 95%.

WHY DR. SHAKEEL? With years of experience in the field, Dr. Shakeel is a highly respected expert in the placement and restoration of dental implants from a single missing tooth to the entire upper and lower arch. His background in dental implant surgery provides a strong foundation that ensures medically safe and aesthetically beautiful results.

Furthermore, Dr. Shakeel received extensive hands-on training and assisted with numerous successful cases, under the guidance of the pioneer of the All-on-Four procedure, Dr. Paulo Malo of Portugal (2010). Few in the dental industry possess his mastery of the combined surgical and prosthetic demands of successful implant dentistry, especially executing the All-On-Four procedure.

IDEAL PATIENTS The All-On-Four technique is for patients dissatisfied with their current dentures or for those who have

no practical alternatives for saving their remaining teeth. In most all cases, patients lacking the bone volume required to support traditional implants are able to enjoy the many benefits of a permanent solution to missing teeth through the All-OnFour procedure.

THE TEETH IN A DAY PROCESS This amazing technique enables you to achieve a beautiful, new Smile in a Day by utilizing four implants placed in each arch to which the replacement teeth are securely attached. Gentle oral sedation assures that you receive maximum safety and comfort throughout the procedure.

In addition, the entire process, including any necessary extractions, can be completed in one day with minimal recovery time.The result is a fully functional set of teeth that look and feel natural, improves your self-confidence and allows you to once again experience the foods and activities you enjoy most.

DISCOVER THE BENEFITS • Requires minimal recovery • Reduces overall cost when compared to single implants • Eliminates the need for bone grafting in most all cases • Allows for easy maintenance through proper oral hygiene • Restores the ability to eat all types of foods • Relieves the many frustrations of removable appliances • Ensures long-term results with the potential to last a lifetime • Renews a youthful appearance through bone level stabilization • Creates a whole new smile in just one day • Enhances self-confidence and overall quality of life For more information on Teeth in a Day or on All-On-Four Dental Implants, contact:

Dr. Shakeel Signature Dental Group 815-455-3300 www.signaturedentalgroup.com

All procedures are done under concious sedation to ensure patient comfort and safety. Dr Shakeel and Dr Sinha hold anesthesia permits in the state of Illinois.
