Debate rages over benefits of full-day kindergarten

WOODSTOCK – Crystal Lake High School District 155 and the city of Crystal Lake agreed Friday to allow the completion of the bleacher renovation at Crystal Lake South High School, but a lengthy court battle still could await.

Justin Hansen, attorney for Crystal Lake, agreed to freeze the stop-work order on the bleacher renovations so students, athletes and school supporters could enjoy the facility throughout the year. But he said the city maintains that it has zoning authority over the school district and would continue the court battle.

“We’re not willing to let students and athletes get caught in the middle of that,” Hansen said of the dispute with the district.

“We won’t file a complaint, which would have triggered the fines.”

What’s next The next court date is scheduled for 9:15 a.m.

Friday in Courtroom 202 at the McHenry County Courthouse.

First game Crystal Lake South’s first home football game will be played at 7 p.m. Aug. 30.

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com On the first day of school in Woodstock District 200, 35-year-old Michaela Roark helps her 5-year-old daughter, Charlotte, place her book bag on a hook outside her kindergarten classroom.

Charlotte attended one year of half-day pre-kindergarten at District 200’s Verda Dierzen Early Learning Center in preparation for this year’s full-day kindergarten program.

Roark said she selfishly wished Charlotte only had a half-day kindergarten program.

“Just because I work a lot of nights, so [daytime] is my day with her,” Roark said.

From an education perspective, however, Roark is glad that Charlotte is in a full-day kindergarten program because there’s more academic benefit.

“You don’t get a lot done in two and a half hours,” Roark said. “I think she’ll learn more in a full day. I like the routine of having so many things going on throughout the day. She’ll have recess, she’ll have art, she’ll have music. All those things.”

However, there are a mixture of halfday and full-day kindergarten programs

WASHINGTON – New revelations from leaker Edward Snowden that the National Security Agency has overstepped its authority thousands of times since 2008 are stirring renewed calls on Capitol Hill for serious changes to NSA spy programs, undermining White House hopes that President Barack Obama had quieted the controversy with his assurances of oversight.

An internal audit provided

by Snowden to The Washington Post shows the agency has repeatedly broken privacy rules or exceeded its legal authority every year since Congress granted it broad new powers in 2008.

Take the ‘dictionary’ out to the curb What do you do when society consistently misuses a word?

You change the definition of the word to conform to society’s ignorance, of course.

Wait. What? No. You can’t do that.

But that is exactly what the Oxford English Dictionary has done with the word “literally.”

By definition, literally means in a literal manner or sense; exactly. But in September 2011, the Oxford English Dictionary added the “informal” use of the word to its definition: used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true.

Yes, this happened two years ago, but it just made ripples and headlines this week. It even caused Oxford English Dictionary Senior Editor Fiona McPherson to quip: “It seems to have literally slipped under the radar.”

Now, I’m a newspaper editor. I’m

VIEWS Jason Schaumburg not a dictionary editor. But it seems to me that my job as a dictionary editor would be to preserve the language, not change it. McPherson disagrees.

She said the dictionary’s job is to describe the language the way people are using it.

I knew there was one person I could turn to in my attempt to decipher whether the dictionary’s stance was right or wrong. That person was Grammar Moses – or, as most people know him, Sauk Valley Media Executive Editor Larry Lough.

“The dictionary is a whore. It has no principles. No scruples. No standards. It gives in to the last person it

talked to,” Moses told me in an email.

“It does not represent correctness or propriety. It represents popular usage, the latest thing, no matter how that might bastardize the language.”

How do you really feel, Larry?

In fairness to the Oxford English Dictionary, it seems every dictionary has jumped onto the ruin-the-language bandwagon.

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary has added a second definition: in effect; virtually.

And, as Moses pointed out, even The Associated Press has contributed to the destruction of the language.

In its stylebook, AP now prefers “drive-thru” over “drive-through” and allows “hopefully” to mean “it is hoped.”

This shouldn’t be acceptable, no matter how you spin it or try to explain it away. We can’t let people who

misuse the language slowly erode the language.

When does it stop? If enough people use words incorrectly (see “irony”) and long enough, will dictionaries continue to alter a definition?

If so, I say we start a push to use “dictionary” in place of “garbage.”

“Take that incorrect definition and throw it in the dictionary. And in the morning, I need you to take the dictionary to the curb so the dictionary man can pick it up and dump it in the landfill where it belongs.”

CIA acknowledges Area 51 – but not UFOs or aliens

By HANNAH DREIER The Associated Press LAS VEGAS – UFO buffs and believers in alien encounters are celebrating the CIA’s clearest acknowledgement yet of the existence of Area 51, the top-secret Cold War test site that has been the subject of elaborate conspiracy theories for decades.

The recently declassified documents have set the tinfoil-hat crowd abuzz, though there’s no mention in the papers of UFO crashes, blackeyed extraterrestrials or staged moon landings.

Audrey Hewins, an Oxford, Maine, woman who runs a support group for people like her who believe they have

been contacted by extraterrestrials, said she suspects the CIA is moving closer to disclosing there are space aliens on Earth.

“I’m thinking that they’re probably testing the waters now to see how mad people get about the big lie and cover-up,” she said.

For a long time, U.S. government officials hesitated to acknowledge even the existence of Area 51.

The CIA history released Thursday not only refers to Area 51 by name and describes some of the aviation activities that took place there, but locates the Air Force base on a map, along the dry Groom Lake bed.

It also talks about some

cool planes, though none of them are saucer-shaped.

George Washington University’s National Security Archive used a public records request to obtain the CIA history of one of Area 51’s most secret Cold War projects, the U-2 spy plane program.

National Security Archive senior fellow Jeffrey Richelson first reviewed the history in 2002, but all mentions of the country’s most mysterious military base had been redacted. So he requested the history again in 2005, hoping for more information. Sure enough, he received a version a few weeks ago with the mentions of Area 51 restored.

The report is unlikely to stop the conspiracy theorists.

Do you take care of an ill adult family member at home?

Are you...

The 407-page document still contains many redactions, and who’s to say those missing sections don’t involve little green men?

It’s not the first time the government has acknowledged the existence of the super-secret, 8,000-square-mile installation. Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush referred to the “location near Groom Lake” in insisting on continued secrecy, and other government references date to the 1960s.

But Richelson, as well as those who are convinced “the truth is out there,” are taking the document as a sign of loosening secrecy about the government’s activities in the Nevada desert.

8STATE BRIEFS Investigation continues into Ill. pipeline fire

AP photo

Vehicles pass a speed limit sign Friday along Interstate 64 in O’Fallon. Gov. Pat Quinn has until Monday to sign or veto legislation that would raise the speed limit on rural interstates in Illinois from 65 mph to 70 mph starting in January.

Critics say higher speed limits sacrificing safety

By JASON KEYSER The Associated Press CHICAGO – Bombarded with ads and warnings, motorists are well aware of the dangers of drunken driving and texting behind the wheel. A more basic message about the hazards of high speeds, meanwhile, is getting lost as more states raise speed limits, safety advocates say.

Illinois could soon join the 34 states that have boosted speed limits to at least 70 mph on some part of their road network since Congress scrapped lower federal limits nearly two decades ago. The trend has resulted in an increase in road deaths and injuries in those states, according to some studies, including one that found a 9 percent jump in deaths on rural interstates.

A mix of populist politics and a culture that demands people be in multiple places at once are factors in pushing state lawmakers to support higher limits, as are advancements in automobile and highway engineering that have

given people a false sense of security, some experts say.

Other crash analysts contend that letting speed limits creep up poses no increased risk and point out that many drivers already are going faster anyway.

“The politics is that the public wants to go faster, they don’t see it as a safety issue.

So it’s no surprise that legislatures have followed,” said Jonathan Adkins, deputy executive director of the Governors Highway Safety Association.

“Unlike with drunk driving and seat-belt use and even distracted driving ... the public just doesn’t see speeding as a safety issue.”

Gov. Pat Quinn has until Monday to sign or veto legislation raising the speed limit on rural interstates in Illinois from 65 mph to 70 mph starting in January. Eight counties in the congested Chicago area would be allowed to keep their limits lower.

The Illinois State Police and Quinn’s transportation chief are strongly opposed, but the governor has not indicated which way he’ll go, telling

reporters Thursday, “We’re looking at that closely.” In a step sought by safety advocates, Quinn signed separate distracted driving legislation Friday to ban the hand-held use of cell phones by drivers.

Transportation Secretary Ann Schneider says high speeds increase the likelihood of a crash while simultaneously slashing the odds of surviving one. Illinois has a lower fatality rate than many other states, except when it comes to speed-related crashes on rural interstates.

Existing speed limits should be more vigorously enforced, Schneider says. Her office cites federal crash data showing that nearly a third of all road fatalities in the U.S. are speed-related.

A host of safety groups and the insurance industry back that view.

“What we find in states typically is that when speed limits go up it’s ... a double whammy because ... drivers typically feel that they can go 5 to 10 miles an hour above the speed limit,” Adkins said.

Cook County Democractic Party endorses Quinn over Daley in ’14

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press CHICAGO – The Cook County Democratic Party on Friday endorsed Gov. Pat Quinn over 2014 rival Bill Daley, the former White House chief of staff whose father once controlled the organization and whose family roots in county politics go back decades.

Though the endorsement may seem like a role reversal, the county party also has a history of backing the person in power.

Quinn spoke to the group during a meeting downtown Chicago, and said he’s worked to improve the economy, clean up government and pass a capital construction program that created jobs. But he acknowledged there’s more work to be done.

He also said the county party – the biggest Democratic organization in the state – helped him win a close race in 2010.

“People here go door to door. They knock on doors, they make phone calls. They turn out the vote,” the Chicago Democrat told reporters afterward. “That’s how I won election in 2010, because there are lots and lots of volunteers who are in these organizations and they believe in the cause.”

In a statement, Daley’s campaign spokesman said Gov. Pat the power of inQuinn cumbency was the driving force behind Friday’s selection, noting the party also endorsed Quinn four years ago. It also factored into Daley’s decision not to address the meeting of township and ward chairmen where the endorsement was made, he said.

“When you look at all the assets of incumbency Governor Quinn is now spreading around, we don’t see any reason why that [endorsement]

would change, no matter how failed Governor Quinn’s record is,” spokesman Pete Giangreco said.

Voters in Cook County made up more than 60 percent of the total votes cast in the 2010 Democratic primary, making it a crucial battleground. Quinn’s campaign said Friday he also has the support of party chairmen in 69 other Illinois counties.

Of the state’s 102 counties, 99 have Democratic party operations.

State Sen. Kwame Raoul, a Chicago Democrat who has said he’s considering entering the governor’s race, also did not speak during Friday’s meeting.

Cook County Democrats also endorsed U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, Attorney General Lisa Madigan and Secretary of State Jesse White for re-election, as well as state Sen. Mike Frerichs of Champaign for state treasurer and Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon for comptroller.

ERIE – Investigators say they still don’t know what caused a massive pipeline fire this week in western Illinois.

Monday’s rupture and fire in Erie created a 15-foot-deep crater in a cornfield and sent rolling flames hundreds of feet into the air. The fire could be seen for miles.

WNIJ-FM reported the investigation is being led by the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. A spokesman tells the station that an investigation typically takes about 20 months. Crews will send a portion of the ruptured pipe to a lab to be tested.

The pipeline was carrying a mixture of ethane and propane from Iowa City, Iowa, to a petrochemical plant in Morris.

No one was hurt.

Coroner: 8-year-old boy suffocated to death PEORIA – Police in Peoria have started an investigation into the death of an 8-year-old

boy who was reported missing and then found dead in a refrigerator the next day.

Peoria County Coroner Johnna Ingersoll said Friday that an autopsy found Marquail D. Johnson suffocated to death.

She did not rule whether his death was a homicide or accidental, saying that was still under investigation. Ingersoll also is awaiting results from toxicology tests. The autopsy found no evidence of trauma.

Marquail was reported missing late Wednesday and his body was found early Thursday in an upright refrigerator in a yard a few houses from where he lived, the Journal Star in Peoria reported.

The newspaper reported the refrigerator was an older model with latches that closed the door from the outside. The appliance was unplugged and sitting near the back door of a home.

Later Thursday, more than 100 people gathered near the spot where the boy’s body was found. They left balloons, candles and stuffed animals.

CHICAGO – Environmental groups have filed formal objections to a request by Dynegy Inc. to waive pollution controls at five Illinois coal-fired plants.

Houston-based Dynegy wants to buy the plants from Ameren Corp., which already has a waiver that allows it to delay installing soot-control equipment for five years.

The Illinois Pollution Control Board refused to transfer the waiver to Dynegy, saying it must make the case on its own merit. Dynegy filed a petition last month to do just that.

St. Louis-based Ameren got the waiver after claiming a financial hardship.

Dynegy says the same conditions exist if it buys the plants, including lower electricity prices driven, in part, by competition from natural gas plants.

Environmental groups counter that the pollution upgrades are needed and that Dynegy was a willing buyer.

Abortion coverage for Congress under health law?

By RICARDO ALONSO–ZALDIVAR The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – The politics of the abortion debate are always tricky for lawmakers.

They may soon get personal.

An attempt to fix a problem with the national health care law has created a situation in which members of Congress and their staffers could gain access to abortion coverage.

That’s a benefit currently denied to them and to all federal employees who get health insurance through the government’s plan.

Abortion opponents say the Obama administration needs to fix the congressio-

nal exception; abortion rights supporters say such concerns are overblown.

The abortion complication is another headache for the administration as it tries to shoehorn members of Congress and certain staffers into insurance markets coming later this year under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.

An amendment by Iowa Republican Sen. Charles Grassley – who opposes “Obamacare” and abortion – requires lawmakers and their personal staff to get private coverage through the same markets that uninsured Americans will use.

Last week, the Office of

Personnel Management said the government would keep paying its share of premiums for lawmakers and affected staffers who must leave the federal employee health care system by Jan. 1. That eased a major anxiety for several thousand staffers accustomed to getting the same benefits as other federal employees.

But the proposed regulation did not explicitly address abortion coverage. Under the health care law, insurance plans in the new markets may cover abortion unless a state passes a law prohibiting them from doing so. Plans offering coverage for abortion, however, may not use federal funds to pay for it. Federal tax

credits to help the uninsured afford coverage must be kept apart from premiums collected for abortion coverage.

Abortion opponents say the regulation would circumvent a longstanding law that bars the use of taxpayer funds for “administrative expenses in connection with any health plan under the federal employees health benefits program which provides any benefits or coverage for abortions.”

Unlike many private corporate plans, federal employee plans only cover abortions in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother.

“Under this scheme, [the government] will be paying the administrative costs,”

said Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., author of the abortion funding ban for federal employee plans. “It’s a radical deviation and departure from current federal law, and it’s not for all federal employees, but for a subset: Congress. Us.” Smith is calling on the Obama administration to specify that lawmakers and staffers must choose a plan that does not cover abortions.

The funding ban, in place since the 1980s, is known as the Smith amendment.

The personnel office initially refused to address the issue on the record.

Late Friday, spokesman Thomas Richards released a statement saying:

“No federal funds, including administrative funds, are used to cover abortions or administer plans that cover abortions. This is true for FEHBP [federal employee plans] and the marketplaces. Nothing restricts a federal employee from seeking additional coverage of elective abortion services at 100 percent premium cost to the enrollee.”

But Smith’s office said that did not resolve the congressman’s concerns, because no health plans in the government program cover abortion.

Obama, who supports abortion rights, has said previously he does not want his health care overhaul to change existing laws on abortion.

Obama an eager member of golfing presidents’ club

By DARLENE SUPERVILLE The Associated Press VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass. – American presidents love golf – 15 of the last 18 have played – and Barack Obama is an eager member of that club.

He’s played golf on four of six days since arriving on the Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard last Saturday. The White House never releases his scores and generally does not allow news coverage of his games – although it did allow the press to watch him briefly once this week.

Tiger Woods played with Obama in Florida last February and said at the time that the left-handed president hits the ball well.

“If he ever spent – after these four years – spent more time playing the game of golf, I’m sure he could get to where he’s a pretty good stick,” Woods said. “He’s got an amazing touch. He can certainly chip and putt.”

Obama’s interest in golf dates back to his high school years when he started playing in Hawaii. Later, golf was

a pastime during the eight, sometimes frustrating, years he spent as an Illinois senator.

Democrats were the minority party when Obama took his Illinois Senate seat in January 1997. Majority Republicans hardly ever sought them out and paid scant attention to their priorities. So when he had free time, Obama often joined fellow senators and lobbyist friends on golf courses in the state capital of Springfield.

“When you’re in the minority you have a lot of time on your hands because nobody is seeking you out for advice or votes,” said state Sen. Terry Link, who took his seat the same year as Obama.

“So what we did is we decided to start playing golf when the weather broke and we were still down” in Springfield.

They tried to play a couple of times a week, he said.

“We played and worked on his game and eventually he got a little bit better,” Link said. “I guess he plays a lot more than he used to or I think he’d like to play a lot more than he could.”

Who’s jumping through which hoops for ’16 race?

By CALVIN WOODWARD The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Get your face on TV and write a book: Check. Start meeting the big money people: Check. Visit Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina – Israel, too: Check.

Deny any of this has to do with running for president: Check.

For politicians planning or tempted to run for the presidency in 2016, the to-do list is formidable. What’s striking is how methodically most of them are plowing through it while they pretend nothing of the sort is going on.

Somehow, it has been decreed that politicians who fancy themselves presidential timber must wear a veil concealing the nakedness of their ambition. They must let the contours show through, however – more and more over time – while hoping everyone doesn’t tire of the tease.

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, among others, are hewing closely to the scripted chores of soon-to-runs. Hillary Rodham Clinton and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo are among those coming out with a book, almost a perquisite

these days, while otherwise diverting from the usual path of preparation, for reasons that make strategic sense for them (and, you never know, could merely reflect indecision).

There is so much to do: Polish a record, for those in office; network with central constituencies of the party; take a serious stab at social media; start dealing with pesky baggage; and get going with a shadow campaign, which can mean bringing on national advisers, powering up a political action committee, or both. The little-knowns must get better known. The well-knowns must shape how people know them.

Governors Chris Christie of New Jersey and Bobby Jindal of Louisiana say it’s crazy to be preparing for a campaign this soon.

If so, then Christie, Jindal and the whole lot of them are crazy.

Paul is going full steam on prep, making all the necessary moves (visits to New Hampshire, Iowa and South Carolina among them), while stating his only motive is to help the Republican Party grow. This, despite hard-line tactics in the Senate that do not resemble outreach to GOP factions other than his own.

Army Pfc. Bradley Manning (center) is escorted Friday to a security vehicle outside a courthouse in Fort Meade, Md., after a hearing in his court-martial. Court is scheduled to reconvene Monday for closing arguments in Manning’s sentencing stage.

Judge: Manning’s actions ‘heedless’ The ASSOCIATED PRESS FORT MEADE, Md. – The enormous leak of classified information engineered by Army Pfc. Bradley Manning was “heedless” and “imminently dangerous to others,” a military judge said Friday in a document explaining why she found him guilty of 20 counts, including six violations of the federal Espionage Act. Army Col. Denise Lind released her legal rationale, or “special findings,” as the sentencing phase of Manning’s court-martial neared its end.

Lawyers will make closing arguments Monday, and Lind said she would announce the sentence as soon as Tuesday.

Manning faces up to 90 years in prison for sending more than 700,000 military and diplomatic documents, plus some battlefield video, to the anti-secrecy group

WikiLeaks while working as an intelligence analyst in Iraq in 2010. WikiLeaks published most of the material on its website.

Lind wrote in the 10-page document that Manning’s actions were wanton and reckless.

“Pfc. Manning’s conduct was of a heedless nature that made it actually and imminently dangerous to others,” she wrote.

The rules for special findings require a written rationale only for guilty verdicts.

Therefore, Lind provided no explanation for her decision to acquit Manning of the most serious charge, aiding the enemy. To have won a conviction on that charge, prosecutors would have had to prove that Manning knew the information he leaked would be seen by al-Qaida members.

On the espionage convic-

tions, for transmitting defense information, Lind found that the leaked material was both potentially damaging to the United States and “closely held,” meaning it had been classified by the appropriate authorities and remained classified at the time it was leaked. The defense had argued that much of the information Manning leaked either contained no damaging information or was already publicly known.

The lone computer fraud count on which Manning was convicted hinged on whether he knowingly exceeded his authorized access on a classified government network when he used his workplace computer to save the State Department cables to a CD so he could use his personal computer to transmit them to WikiLeaks.

The defense had argued

that Manning was authorized to view the cables as part of his job, and that there was no prohibition on downloading or saving them. Prosecutors had argued that Manning had no authority to access such a wide range of cables since his job was narrowly focused on the threat from Shia Muslims in Iraq.

Lind drew a fine line in her legal reasoning. She said the phrase “exceeds authorized access” means Manning used the computer with authorization, and then used that access to obtain information he wasn’t entitled to obtain.

The court-martial was in session for about 30 minutes Friday. Prosecutors presented four bits of evidence retrieved from Manning’s personal computer, mostly communications with his friend, Danny Clark, a Cambridge, Mass., computer expert.

Students to schools destroyed by tornado

By KRISTI EATON The Associated Press MOORE, Okla. – After an anguish-filled summer, students returned to classes Friday at two elementary schools destroyed last spring by a deadly tornado that ripped a 17-mile path of devastation through the suburbs of Oklahoma City.

The children of Moore were eager to reunite with classmates, but many still were haunted by fears of the weather and memories of young friends lost to the monstrous EF5 twister that killed 24 people.

Zack Lewis, who narrowly escaped the storm that took the lives of seven schoolmates, seemed to express the anxiety on everyone’s mind when he asked his parents a simple, plaintive question: Who will come get him if another tornado approaches?

“He’s a little anxious. He didn’t want to eat,” Julie Lewis said.

On the day of the storm, Zack’s father plucked the boy from his classroom when the weather grew threatening, so the child wasn’t on campus when the twister hit. The schoolmates died when a wall collapsed on them at Plaza Towers Elementary.

The EF5 tornado with winds that exceeded 200 mph also plowed through Briarwood Elementary School and destroyed scores of homes and businesses.

Counselors and five therapy dogs greeted students outside the Central Junior High School, which will share its campus with Plaza Towers students for at least the next year.

Bear attacks girl in northern Michigan TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. – As 12-year-old Abby Wetherell headed home from an evening jog on her grandfather’s property in northern Michigan, a terrifying sight caught her eye: a black bear was chasing her. The bear knocked her down twice and lashed one of her thighs with its paws as she called for help, then played dead.

Her father and a neighbor scared the animal away, and Abby was flown to a hospital, where she was doing well after surgery. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources set traps in the area of the Thursday night attack.

Egypt street battles leave at least 64 dead The ASSOCIATED PRESS CAIRO – Egypt’s capital descended into chaos Friday as vigilantes at neighborhood checkpoints battled Muslim Brotherhood-led protesters denouncing the ouster of President Mohammed Morsi and a deadly crackdown. The fiercest street clashes the city has seen in more than two years of turmoil left more than 60 people dead, including several policemen.

The sight of residents firing at one another marked a dark turn in the conflict, as civilians armed with pistols and assault rifle clashed with protesters taking part in what the Muslim Brotherhood called a “Day of Rage,” ignited by anger at security forces for clearing two sit-in demonstrations Wednesday in clashes that killed more than 600 people.

Military helicopters circled overhead as residents

furious with the Brotherhood protests pelted them with rocks and glass bottles. The two sides also fired on one another, sparking running street battles throughout the capital’s residential neighborhoods.

There was little hope that an evening curfew would curb the violence as the Muslim Brotherhood called on supporters of the country’s ousted Islamist president, Mohammed Morsi, to stage daily protests.

Unlike in past clashes between protesters and police, residents and possibly police in civilian clothing battled those participating in the Brotherhood-led marches.

There were few police in uniform to be seen as neighborhood watchdogs and pro-Morsi protesters fired at one another for hours on a bridge that crosses over Cairo’s Zamalek district, an upscale

An Egyptian Army soldier takes his position Friday on top of an armored vehicle while guarding an entrance to Tahrir Square in Cairo. island neighborhood where many foreigners and ambassadors reside.

Across the country, at least 56 civilians were killed, along with eight police officers, security officials said.

They spoke on condition of

anonymity in line with regulations.

The violence erupted shortly after midday weekly prayers when tens of thousands of Brotherhood supporters answered the group’s call to protest across Egypt in

defiance of a military-imposed state of emergency following the bloodshed earlier this week.

Armed civilians manned impromptu checkpoints throughout the capital, banning Brotherhood marches from approaching and frisking anyone wanting to pass through. At one checkpoint, residents barred ambulances and cars carrying wounded from Cairo’s main battleground, Ramses Square, from reaching a hospital.

The scenes highlighted how dangerous the divisions in Egypt have become. At least nine police stations were attacked Friday, officials said. Egypt’s police force was rocked by the country’s 2011 uprising that ousted longtime leader Hosni Mubarak from power and has not fully recovered since.

On Thursday, the Interior Ministry said it had autho-

rized the use of deadly force against anyone targeting police and state institutions. But the threat appeared not to intimidate protesters.

The Brotherhood-led marches in Cairo headed toward Ramses Square, near the country’s main train station. The area is near Tahrir Square, where the army put up barbed wire and deployed 30 tanks outside the Cairo Museum overlooking the square as a buffer between the protesters and a small anti-Brotherhood encampment in the square.

Several of the protesters were seen writing their names and relatives’ phone numbers on one another’s chests and undershirts in case they were to die in Friday’s clashes.

Tawfik Dessouki, a Brotherhood supporter, said he was ready to fight for “democracy” and against the military’s ouster of Morsi.

Beirut bomb ups fear of fallout from Syria war The ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT – Hezbollah’s leader blamed Sunni extremists Friday for a car bombing that killed 22 people in a Shiite neighborhood south of Beirut, heightening fears that Lebanon will be dragged further into sectarian fallout from the war in neighboring Syria.

In a defiant speech to his supporters, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah said he was prepared to double the number of his fighters in Syria if Thursday’s bombing turned out to be retaliation for Hezbollah’s intervention against Syrian rebels.

“If you think that by killing our women and children ... and destroying our neighborhoods, villages and cities we will retreat or back away from our position, you are wrong,” he said.

Nasrallah said preliminary investigations showed Takfiri groups – a term for Sunni radicals – were likely behind the bombing in a predominantly Shiite suburb of Beirut, as well as other recent attacks.

“If the battle with these terrorist Takfiris requires for me personally and all of Hezbollah to go to Syria, we will go to Syria,” he said.

Nasrallah, who has rarely appeared in public since Hezbollah and Israel waged war in 2006, spoke from a secret location to mark the anniversary of that conflict. His remarks were carried by satellite to TV stations and to a crowd of thousands gathered in a south Lebanese village.

Hours earlier Hezbollah supporters fired shots in the air at emotional funerals held for victims of the deadliest blast in Hezbollah’s south

Beirut stronghold since 1985.

Some 300 people were wounded.

As forensic experts collected evidence at the scene of the explosion, security officials said they were investigating the possibility that the attack was carried out by a suicide bomber.

More than a dozen charred cars were scattered on the street amid heavily damaged buildings, preventing residents and shop owners from entering.

It was the second bombing in the area in five weeks. On July 9, a car bomb wounded more than 50 people. Since then, Hezbollah has tightened security with checkpoints and parking limitations.

Hezbollah’s strongholds have also been rocketed several times in the past few months.

Many in Lebanon see the

attacks as retaliation for Hezbollah’s armed support for President Bashar Assad in Syria’s civil war.

Syrian rebels have threatened to retaliate against Hezbollah for intervening on behalf of the Assad regime in a conflict that is being fought on increasingly sectarian lines, pitting Sunnis against Shiites.

Hezbollah fighters played a key role in a recent regime victory in the town of Qusair near the Lebanese border, and Syrian activists say Hezbollah guerrillas are now aiding a regime offensive in the besieged city of Homs.

Nasrallah said his group’s participation in the war was limited. He said the war against extremists bent on destroying the region would be costly, “but less costly than for us to be slaughtered like sheep.”

Somalia polio outbreak spreads

By JASON STRAZIUSO The Associated Press NAIROBI, Kenya – Somalia is suffering an “explosive” outbreak of polio and now has more cases than the rest of the world combined, an official said Friday.

Vaccine-wielding health workers face a daunting challenge: accessing areas of Somalia controlled by al-Qaida-linked militants, where 7 of 10 children aren’t fully immunized.

Polio is mostly considered eliminated globally except mainly in three countries where it is considered endemic: Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan. India marked a major success in February 2012 by being removed from the World Health Organization’s list of countries plagued by the disease.

Somalia now has 105 cases, figures released Friday show, and another 10 cases

have been confirmed across the border in a Kenyan refugee camp filled with Somalis.

Globally there have been 181 cases of polio this year, including those in Somalia and Kenya.

Vaccination campaigns in Somalia have reached 4 million people since the outbreak began in May, but those health officials have limited access to about 600,000 children who live in areas of Somalia controlled by the armed Islamist group al-Shabab.

“It’s very worrying because it’s an explosive outbreak and of course polio is a disease that is slated for eradication,” said Oliver Rosenbauer, a spokesman for the Global Polio Eradication Initiative at the World Health Organization in Geneva. “In fact we’re seeing more cases in this area this year than in the three endemic countries worldwide.”

In a bit of good news, Rosenbauer said in a phone

interview with The Associated Press that polio numbers are down in the three remaining endemic countries.

“The only way to get rid of this risk is to eradicate in the endemic countries, and there the news is actually paradoxically very good,” he said.

Somalia was removed from the list of endemic polio countries in 2001, and this year’s outbreak is the second since then.

It began one month after Bill Gates helped unveil a sixyear plan to eradicate polio at the Global Vaccine Summit.

That effort will cost $5.5 billion, three-quarters of which has already been pledged, including $1.8 billion from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

The outbreak in Somalia does not set back the six-year plan, said Rosenbauer, because unpredictable and intermittent outbreaks were programmed into the timeline.

D-36 official: Full day helps kids read sooner

Iraq seeks help from U.S. amid growing violence

By LARA JAKES The Associated Press

• KINDERGARTEN Continued from page A1 around McHenry County, and whether a full-day program has more of an academic benefit is open to debate.

Sue Wings is the superintendent of District 36, where there is half-day kindergarten.

She said the benefit of fullday kindergarten is it allows more time for teachers to work with students to reach standards.

“However, it doesn’t mean that the students are necessarily able to sustain academically,” Wings said. “It depends on the rigor of the program.”

She added that full-day kindergarten also helps students read sooner.

Wings also said students who have half-day kindergarten tend to catch up by the time they reach the end of second grade, and the “playing field levels out.”

Whether a district has half- or full-day kindergarten sometimes depends on whether it has the available staffing and money necessary to run a full-day program, Wings said.

Sometimes districts can offer only half-day kindergarten because of space constraints, such as in District 15, which has wanted to expend its elementary school buildings to go from half-day kindergarten to full-day kindergarten, among other reasons.

In District 200, this is the seventh year there has been full-day kindergarten.

“We felt it was better for younger learners to have a consistent schedule and less transition throughout their day,” said Tricia Bogott, the principal at Verda. “They know every day, they will have a consistent lunch ... at school. They know their classroom schedule, do things in a certain routine.”

Having a half day might mean changes from day to day of where the child might go after school, such as to a baby-sitter or a friend’s house,

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

Trevor Nelson, 5, of Woodstock hangs up his backpack Thursday during the first day of kindergarten at Verda Dierzen Early Learning Center in Woodstock.

Bogott said.

Nancy Reczek, the assistant superintendent or Early Childhood & Elementary Education, said a lot of kindergartners are coming in with a year or two of preschool under their belts and are “ready for learning.”

Also with Common Core standards coming in, it requires students to have a broader and deeper understanding of subject matter, Reczek said.

Woodstock District 200 has many students who are English language learners, and they may not catch up by second grade like other half-day students, Reczek added.

“I’m not confident that would be the case that all students would get caught up,” Reczek said. “We have a few more variables in student population.”

Bogott added that not all students go to preschool or pre-kindergarten and “going to five full days [a week] is a jump.”

Huntley District 158 has full-day kindergarten. Parents have the option of placing their children in halfday kindergarten, but “99 percent” opt for the full-day program, Director of Curriculum and Instruction Michelle George said.

The district went to fullday programs during the 2006-07 school year.

Having a full day allows for more time to work on traditional subjects, and time to do physical education, music and art as well, George said.

“We wanted to provide a richer curriculum to the students and have more opportunities to challenge and build that stronger foundation,” George said.

Jason Larry is the school board president at Cary District 26, where both half-day and full-day kindergarten is offered. However, for parents to get their children into the full-day program, they need to be selected in a lottery.

Larry has three daughters, and his youngest was selected to be in full-day kindergarten, he said.

“We saw a huge benefit in her ... and how it prepared her for first grade,” Larry said. “I’m a fan of it.”

Larry said the reading, arithmetic and comprehension skills of his youngest daughter, who is about to enter the second grade, were further along compared with her older sisters.

He added that if the district had enough classroom capacity for all full-day kindergarten and was able to afford it, it would be something he would support.

“I’ll be a huge supporter of doing it,” Larry said. “I’ve witnessed the value it could create.”

WASHINGTON – A resurgence of violence and a renewed threat from al-Qaida have recently revived flagging U.S. interest in Iraq, officials said Friday as Baghdad asked for new help to fight extremists less than two years after it forced American troops to withdraw.

Faced with security crises across the Mideast, North Africa and Asia, the White House largely has turned its attention away from Iraq since U.S. forces left in 2011.

But the country has been hit with deadly bombings at a rate reminiscent of Iraq’s darkest days, stoking new fears of a civil war. More than 1,000 Iraqis were killed in terror-related attacks in July, the deadliest month since 2008.

The violence has spurred Baghdad to seek new U.S. aid to curb the threat, said Iraqi Foreign Minister Foreign

Minister Hoshyar Zebari. He said a U.S. assistance package could include a limited number of advisers, intelligence analysis and surveillance assets – including lethal drones.

“There is greater realization in the Iraq government that we should not shy away from coming and asking for some help and assistance,” Zebari told reporters Friday in Washington.

He described U.S. interest in Iraq after the 2011 troop withdrawal as “indifferent, completely” but said that seemed to shift as the White House realized al-Qaida’s resurrection there.

“Recently I noticed, and during this visit specifically, there is a renewed interest because of the seriousness of the situation and the challenges,” Zebari said. “I think that is because of the threat of terrorism, the threat of the renewal of al-Qaida and its affiliates has become a serious, serious concern to the U.S.”

The American troops left Iraq in December 2011 as required under a 2008 security agreement. Both countries tried to negotiate plans, but failed, to keep at least several thousand U.S. forces in Iraq beyond the deadline to maintain security. But the proposal fell through after Baghdad refused to give the troops immunity from legal charges, as Washington demanded.

Nearly 4,500 U.S. troops were killed, and American taxpayers spent at least $767 billion during the nearly nine years of war in Iraq.

Zebari attributed the insurgency’s comeback to its partnerships with al-Qaida fighters in neighboring Syria and outlawed Baath Party extremists in Iraq’s south.

Intelligence experts have described the terror group’s footing in Iraq and Syria as a new al-Qaida hub in the Mideast, one that has sought for years to underscore Baghdad’s inability to protect its people.

Jean Bianchi concerned legal battle could last far longer than a year • BLEACHER Continued from page A1 The school district stood to lose up to $1,000 a day for each day it was in violation of the stop-work order and city ordinances while the legal process played out. Because the city agreed not to file a complaint and to suspend the stop-work order, those fines will not accumulate.

The agreement came after judge Thomas Meyer expressed his desire for the two sides to come to a temporary understanding for the sake of the students, parents and athletes at Crystal Lake South High School while the larger question of city versus regional superintendent authority was decided in legal proceedings.

Attorneys from the city and district met for about an hour before submitting the agreed-upon motion to Meyer.

Robert Swain, attorney for District 155, said construction crews would start as soon as possible, and the hope was to finish the bleachers by the start of school and the first home football game Aug. 30.

The bleachers, which are about 95 percent complete, still need safety railings, walkways

Some say NSA still not giving all the answers • NSA Continued from page A1 In one of the documents, agency personnel are instructed to remove details and substitute more generic language in reports to the Justice Department and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence – reports used as the basis for informing Congress.

Obama has repeatedly said that Congress was thoroughly briefed on the programs revealed by Snowden in June, but some senior lawmakers said they had been unaware of the NSA audit until they read the news Friday. The programs described earlier vacuum up vast amounts of metadata – such as telephone numbers called and called from, the time and duration of calls – from most Americans’ phone records, and scoop up global Internet usage data.

White House deputy press secretary Josh Earnest said Friday that the NSA documents showed that NSA’s Compliance Office established in 2009 “is monitoring, detecting, addressing and reporting compliance incidents,” and that “the majority of the compliance incidents are unintentional.” In a statement from the Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard, where the president is vacationing, he added that the administration is “keeping the Congress appropriately informed of compliance issues as they arise.”

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy announced he would hold hearings into the new disclosures.

“I remain concerned that we are still not getting straightforward answers from the NSA,” the Vermont Democrat said in a statement.

Senate Intelligence Committee chairwoman Dianne Feinstein said her committee had been notified of compliance problems – not by seeing the internal audit but through legally required reports to her committee.

“In all such cases, the incidents have been addressed by ending or adapting the activity,” the California Democrat said in a statement.” She added, “The committee has never identified an instance in which the NSA has intentionally abused its authority to conduct surveillance for inappropriate purposes.”

But she said that committee would be asking for additional reports in future, and members would start making routine trips to the NSA to oversee its activities.

and some electrical work to the press box.

“Losing this last week hurt, but we’re hopeful we can finish before the start of school,” he said. “They are mobilizing as quickly as possible.”

Jean Bianchi, one of three Crystal Lake residents suing District 155 over the bleacher project, said she was happy to know students, parents and

supporters would be able to use the facility but was disappointed the district continues to refuse to enter into the city zoning process.

Bianchi, along with her husband, Lou Bianchi – the state’s attorney for McHenry County – and Amberwood Drive resident Jeff Gurba claim the district violated city ordinances by constructing

home bleachers too close to property lines, getting as close as 46 feet to the boundary. The structure is also taller than city code allows at 47 feet, 10 inches and could cause flooding issues and a decrease in property values.

With the district’s refusal to go through the city zoning process, Jean Bianchi said she is concerned the legal battle

could last far longer than a year and be a huge burden to taxpayers.

“We’re happy football players, parents and students will have an uninterrupted season because we don’t want them caught in the crossfire,” Jean Bianchi said. “We’re just concerned this is going to turn into a long, drawn-out process because it seems the district’s

attorneys are trying to change state law and make a name for themselves.”

The next court date is scheduled for 9:15 a.m. Friday in Courtroom 202 at the McHenry County Courthouse.

Swain said he does not expect anything significant to happen and it would likely be the start of a lengthy string of appearances to set future dates.

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn signed the legislation into law Thursday. This is another example of government completely overstepping its bounds in dictating how people can live their lives. Parents should make the decision on whether their teenage children can go tanning in a tanning both. It’s not the government’s responsibility to play Mom and Dad. Thumbs up: To Evan Jager, a 2007 Jacobs graduate and Team USA steeplechase runner.

Jager again represented the area well and stood tall against the best the world has to offer, finishing fifth this week in the IAAF Track and Field World Championships in Moscow.

Jager finished less than three seconds behind the race winner in the 3,000-meter race. Jager finished sixth at the Olympics in London last year after winning the U.S. Olympic Trials.

Thumbs down: To Laborers’ Local 1035, for shutting down a neighborhood construction project in Algonquin. Members of Local 1035 have been protesting the project in the Highland Glen subdivision even though the crew doing the work is unionized. The owner of FM&J Asphalt, the contractor hired for the project, said his employees are members of Local 711.

The project’s manager said he thinks Local 1035 is trying to shut the work down to poach members. He also said that Local 1035 members have pressured area asphalt plants and supply stores to not sell them materials. Meanwhile, residents in the area are caught in the middle.

Members of Local 1035 not surprisingly declined to comment on their motives. There’s no place for this kind of bullying on a construction site, in the workplace, or anywhere.

Thumbs up: To Claude and Diane Sonday for taking over the struggling Galt Airport near Wonder Lake. The Bull Valley couple officially took ownership of the airport through foreclosure proceedings last month. They plan to expand flying lessons and continue hosting events for children who are interested in aviation. We’re sure locals are glad to keep the tight-knit Galt airport community in local hands and wish the Sondays and Galt Airport much success.

Release an outrage

A Mexican judge’s decision to release drug cartel leader Rafael Caro Quintero makes our blood boil.

Caro Quintero played a key role in the 1985 kidnapping, sustained torture and death of a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent, Enrique “Kiki” Camarena.

Few cases did more to sour U.S.-Mexico relations than this one. And if President Enrique Peña Nieto fails to act swiftly to block Quintero from escaping justice, bilateral relations could once again turn frosty. Since the U.S. has long requested Quintero’s extradition, Nieto should honor it. Washington should insist on it.

Neither country can afford to let relations devolve to that old, abysmal era. Mexico should not expect Washington simply to forget what happened. Quintero’s extradition would send a strong message about the priority Nieto places on close U.S. relations – and on serving notice to other cartel leaders.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE It’s only a left turn To the Editor: Regarding the left-turn-ontoEast-Street debate in Crystal Lake, I have been following this story with some amusement.

Seems the residents of this area are a little upset because their left turn onto this street has been taken away. I, too, live In Crystal Lake. I, too, have to turn left onto my street. But I can’t, why? Because there is a concrete median there. What ever shall I do?

Simple. I go up to the next street, turn left and come back onto my street. But I guess I have been doing this wrong, because I have not alerted the media, the mayor and the township people regarding this. I have not wasted taxpayers’ money on meetings, etc.

And using emergency vehicles as an excuse doesn’t fly. If they need to get to you, they will. If this is your only problem, people, you are lucky. Time to get over it. It’s just a left turn, for goodness sake.

Bully pulpit To the Editor: Where does Gov. Pat Quinn get off using his office to beat down the most vulnerable of our society?

I’m speaking of our soon-to-be penniless legislators. The sum-

mer recess runs from the end of June until the end of October. The inhumanity of this governor to cut off salaries and stipends during vacation time.

I can’t help but think about the unfortunate legislators who weren’t able to put together a summer fact-finding tour at taxpayers’ expense. Something like a trip to the south of France to see how tan lines affect tooth decay. The thought that some of our elected officials might have to spend their summer at the municipal pool rather than Belize makes my good eye weep.

Thank God for John Cullerton and Michael Madigan, champions of the downtrodden, stepping in to spend taxpayer money to right this wrong. They’re taking the governor to the mat through a lawsuit to ensure our lawmakers can feed their families. I applaud the effort because lobbyists are hard to find during summer break.

If I could make a suggestion: turn the Rotunda into a soup kitchen to tide our legislators over. How can anyone expect our representatives to deal with the pension issue on empty stomachs?

The Internal Revenue Service, by law only a tax collector but feared for its vast intimidating power, is caught snooping and scaring innocent citizens.

Then, the Federal Election Commission is doing the same, also to suppress those who oppose a coercive government. What to do?

Make new laws to forbid what is already illegal (like we saw with gun control)?

The problem is not in the agencies, but with the people in them.

Are they the accused “rogue agents,” like those in Cincinnati (until we learn that the culprits are hiding in Washington, D.C.)?

President John Adams saw it clearly, when he reminded his fellow founders – and all those in the future – the problem is deeply in human nature: “Our Constitution was made only

for a moral and religious people, it is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Congress wants to investigate.

The guilty pass the blame, stonewall and cowardly hide behind privileges of the Constitution that are enshrined in the Fifth Amendment.

Adams warned us against people who use good agencies for their own corrupt purposes. He wrote of moral and religious people, but warned against the dishonorable ones who scheme, cheat and lie, while seeing truth and religion as enemy and obstacle in their drive for power and political success.

How high does the corruption go?

The fish rots first in the head – not in Cincinnati. Are we not better than that, voter?

Hillary Clinton on TV might actually help Republicans WASHINGTON – When I heard that Alec Baldwin might be hosting a weekly show on MSNBC, I was delighted: Maybe I wouldn’t have to catch reruns of “30 Rock” to get my Baldwin fix.

Let’s hope he doesn’t take any anger-management classes before he starts.

My second thought was that this rumor, if true, will further prove Reince Priebus’ point. Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, made the rounds last week with the usual conservative complaint about media bias. The networks are mixing entertainment and news, he said – Brian Williams making frequent cameos on NBC sitcoms, Tina Fey as Sarah Palin playing on a seemingly endless loop on NBC News. This fusion benefits Democrats, because the entertainment-industrial complex tends toward the liberal.

Priebus’ main evidence was the forthcoming two-network Hillary Clinton extravaganza: a documentary on CNN, a four-part miniseries on NBC. These two productions amount to “an extended commer-

cial for Secretary Clinton’s nascent campaign” for president, Priebus wrote to NBC. There will be no such production about his candidate, whoever that might be.

Priebus is entitled to worry some.

With the elegant actress Diane Lane playing Clinton, there will definitely be some glamorizing going on. True, this is not some big-screen Hollywood production – but it’s not a yard sign, either. On TV, everyone becomes slightly larger than life, and as Priebus said, the publicity will be free to the candidate. Where’s the equal time in that?

Maybe Priebus can console himself with another definition of “equal time.” Of course these docu-movies will herald Clinton’s public service and path-breaking career, but they also will feature those moments that were less, shall we say, inspirational. That means giving equal if not more time to the one-name scandals that marked Clinton’s rise: Whitewater, Travelgate, Hillarycare, Monica and, if the shows cover the early years, HillaryStanding-By-Her-Man after he’d been exposed for spending too much

VIEWS Margaret Carlson time standing by Gennifer Flowers.

Such choices can be justified on strictly apolitical grounds. Not only did these events actually happen, but a heroine always needs obstacles to overcome, too. It provides dramatic tension. If these movie-mentaries get made, Clinton may well wish her life started after she left the White House.

What’s most interesting about Priebus’ crusade is what he’s going to do if these projects proceed. He chooses which networks air presidential debates for the Republican primaries, and he warns that “if I’ve got NBC doing a miniseries with Diane Lane ... it makes my choice of moderators much easier.”

Most threats are tempered by the fact that the one making them usually doesn’t want to actually carry it out. This applies equally to countries with nuclear weapons as to parents warning a child he won’t

get to go to sleep-away camp if he continues to misbehave. In both cases, following through is going to hurt the threatener as much as, if not more than, the threatened.

Priebus’ ultimatum is that rare threat that’s win-win. If NBC and CNN relent, he’ll presumably be happy. If they don’t, he’ll be happy as well.

He made the case in his postcampaign autopsy of the party that the debates did grievous harm to the Republican brand, allowing viable candidates to share the stage with marginal characters auditioning to be the next Alec Baldwin. While the debates hurt the eventual nominee, self-deporting Mitt Romney, they helped the relatively unknown Herman Cain (now on radio) and Michele Bachmann (who’ll get a show a nanosecond after she leaves Congress in 2015).

The loser who was the biggest winner of all was Newt Gingrich: Before 2012, he was just a failed former speaker of the House of Representatives. Then came the famous debate that moderator John King (of CNN, coincidentally – or not?)

opened by asking Gingrich if he had requested an “open marriage” from his ex-wife. Gingrich claimed to be “appalled” at the “destructive, vicious, negative” question. Yet he could barely hide his delight as the audience cheered.

His prize was not to become the nominee but to start, next month, as co-host of CNN’s “Crossfire.” Anyone who doubts the phenomenon, tune in to Fox News, where Mike Huckabee, failed 2008 candidate, still has a show.

The most interesting show to watch – and I hope the rumors are true – will be MSNBC’s. Which Alec Baldwin will be hosting – the cynical Jack Donaghy? The crass Capitol One huckster? The mischievous Academy Awards co-host? The political junkie who wanted to run for mayor of New York? Maybe he will settle for playing all these things on TV. Whichever Baldwin shows up, I’m pretty sure Reince Priebus won’t like it.

Bridge repair at standstill Conservation district seeks new contractor for Prairie Trail project

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – The bridge that takes the Prairie Trail over a small creek north of Meyer Drive was sup-

posed to be replaced earlier this year.

The McHenry County Conservation District awarded the project to Copenhaver Construction Inc. of Gilberts. The bridge was removed in February, and work on a new bridge was

expected to be completed by April.

But no replacement bridge has been built.

The supplier never delivered the bridge, Copenhaver Construction owner Ken Copenhaver said, adding

that he offered to buy another bridge, but the conservation district declined.

Johnsburg raises sewer, water rates Village Board moves ahead with project to install sidewalks

McHENRY COUNTY: DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

Second rabid bat reported in McHenry County NORTHWEST HERALD WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Department of Health reported its second rabid bat, which was found by a homeowner Tuesday outside a dog run at an Island Lake residence.

There was no human exposure, but the incident supports the need for pet owners to keep their animals up-todate on rabies vaccinations,

according to a news release from the health department.

In order to test bats for rabies, the bat must be in good condition (i.e. the head is intact) – either alive or recently dead.

Specimens in good condition that test negative for rabies eliminate the need for rabies treatment after human exposure.

Statewide, 23 rabid bats have been reported in eight

Doctors consider Plain ‘stable’ • FUNDRAISER Continued from page B1 the Membrane Poker Run Sunday. Registration for those in the run starts at 9:30 a.m. at Offsides Bar & Grill, 680 S. Eastwood Drive, Woodstock, with the ride kicking off at 11 a.m.

It will conclude with an event at about 4 p.m. at KC’s Cabin, 309 Route 173, Spring Grove, that will include a pig roast, live entertainment and a silent auction.

On hand will be Plain, who doctors consider him “stable” at the moment.

His diagnosis came when his daughter, Emmalee, was just 2 years old. He had some numbness in his face, and doctors decided to run a CAT scan, which turned up what they thought was a fairly harmless polyp in his brain.

Plain had his doubts.

“The doctor said, ‘I don’t know what you’re so worried about,’ ” Wolfe remembered.

“My husband said, ‘I’m worried it’s cancer and you’re going to take me from my 2-yearold daughter.’ ” Plain’s fears were confirmed when they sought a second opinion, and two days after the diagnosis, he was wheeled in for surgery.

Six weeks of radiation and six months of chemotherapy followed that. But a year and a half later, the facial numbness was back, and Plain was back in for another surgery.

Before his most recent surgery in December, doctors said there was a 90 percent chance Plain wouldn’t make it out.

“When he went in, we were literally saying goodbye because we didn’t know if he was coming back out,” Wolfe said.

The surgery was supposed to last an hour and a half. Seven hours later, Wolfe got her husband back, she said.

Now, with Plain working a temporary job that doesn’t

Rabies is a deadly disease caused by a virus that attacks the central nervous system and can be confirmed only in a laboratory.

Keeping cats and dogs current with vaccinations will not only keep them from getting rabies, but also provide a barrier of protection for humans if the animal is bitten by a rabid animal.

GENEVA – Think you’ve got what it takes to help lead the Chicago area’s commuter rail agency?

Kane County Board Chairman Chris Lauzen has announced that he is accepting applications from those interested in representing Kane County on the Metra board of directors.

The applications can be submitted to the Kane County Board Office at the Kane County Government Center, 719 Batavia Ave., Building A, Geneva, until Sept. 3.

From there, the applications will be evaluated by “a special review panel” beginning Sept. 5 and will narrow the field to three to four finalists. Lauzen then will interview the finalists and present his appointment to the County Board for approval, according to a news release from Lauzen’s office.

Applications must include a resume and cover let-

Chris Lauzen Kane County Board chairman ter outlining qualifications and explanation of interest in the position, the release said.

The selection process will be similar to one Lauzen used earlier this year to appoint Kane County’s representative on the Regional Transportation Authority’s board of directors.

The county ultimately named former Kane County Transportation Director Nabi Fakroddin to that position.

However, Fakroddin resigned this month when it was revealed he also was serving on the Illinois Human Rights Commission, in violation of state law forbid-

ding RTA directors to serve on multiple government commissions.

The vacancy on the Metra board was created when former Kane County Board Chairman Mike McCoy resigned from his seat on the commuter rail agency panel amid the fallout from the scandal surrounding the departure of former Metra CEO Alex Clifford.

Since then, four other Metra board members have resigned in the wake of the scandal, including former Metra board chairman Brad O’Halloran.

The Metra position pays $15,000 annually, but it does not include health insurance or retirement benefits.

Following McCoy’s resignation, Lauzen said he did not envy the job ahead of anyone selected for the Metra board, noting the scandals and operational challenges faced by the rail agency.

“They have a really, really tough problem to solve,” Lauzen said at that time.

“He’s got a big scar that goes from the top of his ear to the top of his head, and people will stare at it,” she continued. “And she’ll tell them, ‘If you have questions, just ask.

Continued from page B1 $82,000 for the agency.

Turning Point offers victims of domestic violence and their children safe shelter, along with individual counseling, group counseling, specialized children’s programs and help with orders of protection.

Money from this weekend’s fundraiser will go toward funding those programs, but also helps to raise awareness about domestic violence in McHenry County, Farmer said.

“Domestic violence is happening every day,” Farmer said. “This is just a weekend that we spotlight for the county what were doing for domestic violence victims. Any day of the week, they’re still having these things happen to them.”

Turning Point helped 1,700 victims of domestic violence and issued more than 600 orders of protection for McHenry County residents last year alone.

“We want to make sure people understand how much domestic violence is out there,” said Betsy Cosgray, events coordinator for Turning Point. “It’s such a hidden crime. People don’t know about it and don’t want to talk about it.”

“Every single year we want to make it better,” said Szamlewski, who is also the co-host of Star’s morning show. “There was a point where Turning Point almost closed. Their doors literally almost closed if it wasn’t for the radiothon we did.

“It’s a great fit and a great organization. It would be silly for us not to [work with them].

It’s kind of our duty to do it.”

Absent from the fundraiser are outspoken victims of domestic violence, as their

safety would be in jeopardy if their abusers knew their location. Turning Point volunteers and those who donate are there to speak for them, Farmer said.

“Victims can’t come out here because it’s not a safe place for them to be,” she said.

“We’re the hands and feet of victims out here.”

The company disputes that the termination was valid, said Copenhaver’s attorney, John Chitkowski, adding that he and his client had not decided on what their next step would be.

In the meantime, the Prairie Trail, a popular bike and pedestrian path that connects the southern end of McHenry County to the Wisconsin border, is closed to through traffic.

A new bridge could be in place by late October or next spring depending on the new contractor’s schedule and weather, Kummerer said.

The Meyer Drive parking lot is open for the trail’s southbound users, and those headed north can park near the playground in the Willow Road subdivision.

The district did not provide an alternative route because of the Algonquin bypass construction and the lack of sidewalks along the busy road.

Updates on the bridge can be found at the district’s website, mccdistrict.org, and regular trail users can sign up for alerts by emailing MCCD@mccdistrict.org.

The Village Board also moved ahead on a project that will install sidewalks

It hired HR Green to do the engineering, surveying and construction management for the project for just under $8,000.

RUDOLPH J. GRON JR. Born: Oct. 27, 1933; in Chicago Died: Aug. 11, 2013 MARENGO – Rudolph J. Gron Jr. passed away Sunday, Aug. 11, 2013, surrounded by his loving family.

Born in his Chicago home Oct. 27, 1933, Rudolph Gron Jr. entered into his journey on this earthly realm.

He called many places home, but was happiest as a boy on a dairy farm in Crown Point, Ind. He earned his master’s degree at Northern Illinois University, where he met the love of his life, Nell Rauworth.

They were married Jan. 28, 1956, and raised three daughters, whom they loved dearly. They built and settled in what would be their final home in Marengo, known to many as Raspberry Ranch.

Rudy worked not only as a farmer but was also a respected educator and eventually earned the title of assistant principal at Belvidere Junior High. His passions included golf, bowling, playing the accordion and trying his best to predict the weather.

He had such a love for God’s earth and was an avid farmer and flower gardener in his later years. He was a lover of animals and granted his family the charge of many pets through the years, most recently his dear pet, Ladybug. He also enjoyed serving his church. With his down-to-earth personality, he will be remembered as a trustworthy man and a friend to all, showing kindness and humor to many.

We here on this earthly plane will greatly miss the man we knew, but firmly believing in God and eternal life, we know he now will reside

Everyone has to agree with me that the week after vacation is one of the worst of the year. I know this is such a tough problem to have; after all, I was lucky enough AUGUST 18 to be gone for seven days.

According to my vacation handbook, that just means I carygrovechamber.com can eat twice as many next year. And for those of you wondering, yes, the Golfer in My Life forgot his bathing suit!

produce was just too much. I unpacked my limited groceries and immediately headed to Three Oaks for a dose of the sun. No reason to jump fully back into responsibility.

Getting on track with my Pilates schedule has been brutal, too. I can see how people fall off the wagon with exercise. It takes weeks to build up muscle and only seventy-two hours for it to start to break down. I had walked, run and done some Pilates while on vacation but nothing like my usual routine. By Wednesday night, I could barely lift my two pound weights.

Things seem to be getting a little easier after each class, even though my muscles are the sorest they have been in well.... about a year.

The return to work was also a challenge this week. Nothing crazy happened in my absence so it was easy to pick up right where I had left things back on August 2. Except my interest level was pretty low. After Monday when everyone had asked about the trip, it really was back to the same old grind. By next week, it will probably feel like I hadn’t been gone at all. Fortunately, only fifty-one more weeks until we are back to Michigan!

Enjoy the weekend. I know I really need it after this week! Autumn

almost feels like we’re about to witness a “Saturday Night Live” skit. James Marsden, on the other hand, is a good choice as John F. Kennedy, with his handsome grin, boyish demeanor and Boston drawl.

Liev Schreiber is amusing if a little broad as LBJ, and John Cusack is interesting as Richard Nixon, even though he looks nothing like him. Alan Rickman and Jane Fonda, making the most of her one scene, make a surprisingly satisfying Ronald and Nancy Reagan. But what makes the film work, finally, are the soft-spoken Whitaker and the powerful Oyelowo, whose Louis progresses over the years from determined and brave to angry and cynical, and ultimately to a seasoned older man. Their relationship gives structure to the broad story of civil rights in America – a story crucial to tell, and crucial to hear. Daniels and company may not have made a masterpiece, but they have made a film you should see. –

STARRING: Ashton Kutcher, Josh Gad, J.K. Simmons PLOT: The story of Steve Jobs’ ascension from college dropout into one of the most revered creative entrepreneurs of the 20th century.

RATED: PG-13 for some drug content and brief strong language TIME: 2 hours, 2 minutes VERDICT: At the risk of damning with faint praise, it should be noted Ashton Kutcher is not a disaster in “Jobs.” Kutcher does a couple of things well, aping Jobs’ guarded, tight-lipped smile and familiar, half-hunching, half-bouncing gait, even if at times they seem more like ill-fitting mannerisms than expressions of Jobs’ driven personality. But there’s a void inside the man that Kutcher never manages to fill. The problem is not with the actor but with the film itself. Directed by Joshua Michael Stern (“Swing Vote”) and written by first-time screenwriter Matt Whiteley, “Jobs” confuses the story of Apple, the company, with the story of its guru and guiding force, spending way too much time on backroom personnel dealings than on encounters that might help us understand, on a deep level, the title character.

Focusing on those details, “Jobs” gives short shrift to the story’s human side. The vast majority of the movie concerns his professional life, giving an unfortunate new meaning to the film’s title. One exception is Jobs’ friendship and partnership with Steve “Woz” Wozniak (Josh Gad). As Apple’s sweetly geeky co-founder, Gad is a real pleasure, and his scenes with Kutcher help us understand Jobs, even when – maybe especially when – the two are awkwardly parting ways, late in the film. Although I think I could watch a whole movie called “Woz” and not grow tired, “Jobs” eventually begins to suffer from an ailment common to many biopics: milestone fatigue. The film is so thick with Jobs’ career highlights and lowlights there’s little room for insights. – Michael

RATINGS HHHH - Excellent HHH - Recommended HH - Not recommended H - Awful

The Associated Press

“Paranoia” RATED: PG-13 for some violence and disturbing images, language, sexual material, thematic elements and smoking.

TIME: 2 hours, 12 minutes VERDICT: “You hear nothing. You see nothing. You only serve.” Such are the instructions Cecil Gaines receives as he embarks on his daunting new job at the Eisenhower White House in “Lee Daniels’ The Butler.” But of course Gaines, played by Forest Whitaker in a moving, grounded performance that anchors the film and blunts its riskier excesses, hears and sees everything. And that means over more than three decades on the job, he has a Forrest Gump-like view not only of the White House under seven presidents, but of the long arc of the civil rights struggle in 20th-century America.

Daniels and screenwriter Danny Strong create a father-son dynamic between Gaines and a rebellious older son, Louis (a terrific David Oyelowo), that serves as a backdrop against which the civil rights struggle can play out – through the eyes of black characters, not white ones, for a refreshing change. His wife, Gloria, as you may have heard, is played by one Oprah Winfrey, and her performance is often restrained and quite moving. To her credit, you’re not thinking “Wow, Oprah!” in every scene; that in itself is no small triumph. Not all the star performances are successful. When we first see Robin Williams as Eisenhower, his head bald, it

STARRING: Amber Heard, Liam Hemsworth, Harrison Ford PLOT: An entry-level employee at a powerful corporation finds himself occupying a corner office, but at a dangerous price: he must spy on his boss’s old mentor to secure for him a multi-billion dollar advantage.

RATED: PG-13 for some sexuality, violence and language TIME: 1 hour, 46 minutes VERDICT: The story of an ambitious young techie recruited to spy on his boss’s archrival never really generates the life-and-death tension that would keep audiences involved. It’s clear that everyone is duplicitous, but it isn’t always clear how their plotting proceeds with so few glitches. It also doesn’t help that there really isn’t anyone to root for in this game of cat-and-mouse. The easily manipulated, fiercely ambitious Adam isn’t the most likable protagonist. Both Stoddard and Wyatt are coldhearted sharks, and Adam’s love interest, a snooty Ivy League-educated executive (Amber Heard), isn’t endearing either. Oldman and Ford do relish their turns at corporate villainy, and Embeth Davidtz as Oldman’s steely associate brings considerable flair to her role. But the intrigue in high places never really has us on the edge of our seats, and the formulaic happy ending undermines the entire exercise. – Stephen Farber, The Hol-

Language barrier leaves girlfriend out in the cold Dear Abby: I recently started dating one of my graduate school classmates. We come from different cultures, but we get along great and I really like him.

My problem is he’s very close to his family, who seem to like me very much, but I always feel left out around them. An example: The nine of us went out to dinner, and the whole time they were speaking to each other in their native tongue while I just sat there. Then, after dinner, his parents asked why I was so quiet.

The family speaks English fluently and are otherwise nice to me. When I confronted my boyfriend about it, he said

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips it would be disrespectful for him to speak to his elders in English.

I want a future with this man, but I know it won’t work out if I can’t be included in his family. Am I wrong to think they should involve me in the conversation? – Out-

sider In New York Dear Outsider: In light of the fact everyone knows you don’t speak the language, their behavior does seem inconsiderate – particularly if it’s happening often. Perhaps

you should speak to them about it and ask to be included in the conversation. An alternative would be to take a crash course in their native tongue so you’ll have some idea about what’s being said.

(And won’t they be surprised when you respond.)

One thing about your letter does concern me, however, because it raises a potential red flag. Does your boyfriend’s unwillingness to stand up for you foretell a pattern of always deferring to his parents? If that’s the case, it could be a source of frustration and conflict for you in the future. Please think about it.

Dear Abby: I have been in

a steady, committed relationship with my boyfriend, “Carey,” for four years. We have discussed our future and have agreed we want to get married and start a family soon.

As a child, I always dreamed of a big, fancy wedding. Carey, on the other hand, says he doesn’t want one. He feels it would be a waste of money. After a lot of discussion, we decided to compromise and have a courthouse wedding followed by a small, simple reception.

My biggest issue is he insists we don’t need rings, and he refuses to get me one.

Although I have explained that a ring would symbolize

our love and life together, and it would mean a great deal to me personally, he won’t budge. Now I’m beginning to doubt whether I want to marry him.

What should I do? Am I being superficial? – Confused

Dear Abby: What is proper when opening gift cards with money enclosed? My family has made it a habit for the nieces to open their cards in front of everyone. I feel it should be done in private.

think wanting a wedding ring is superficial. It’s normal.

Furthermore, if you have any doubts about marrying this young man, you should put the wedding on hold until the two of you have had premarital counseling. Arguments about how money should be spent have ruined marriages, and it appears the two of you are planets apart on this

have changed since I stocked up last year. What should I look for on the new labels?

Dear Reader: Sunscreen products do look different than they have in the past, as new rules for labels are now in effect. These new rules, mandated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), have made sunscreen labels more informative and less misleading.

Sunlight exposes your skin to ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. UVA rays age and wrinkle skin; UVB rays cause sunburn. Both contribute to skin cancer. So you want to protect your skin from both UVA and UVB. Sunscreens vary in their protection against UVA and UVB. The best protection is “broad spectrum protection,” which filters out much of the UVA and UVB. Under the new FDA rules, if a label says “broad spectrum,” the product must pass tests proving it protects against both UVA and UVB rays.

Also under the new rules, the term “sunblock” is no longer allowed, because none of these products block all of

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff the sun’s rays. “Waterproof” is also banned, because water does rinse off some of the creams. It’s just a matter of degree. You want creams that are least likely to wash off when you go into the water.

Some creams fit the bill; under the new rules they are called “water-resistant.” This term must be accompanied by a set time for reapplication.

Another big change concerns SPF, or sun protection factor. SPF is a measurement of how much longer it takes for your skin to turn red from the sun after applying the sunscreen. Sunscreen with an SPF of less than 15 for both UVA and UVB must now carry a warning that it only reduces your risk of sunburn, and does not reduce your risk of either skin cancer or early skin aging.

When you go out in the sun, you want to reduce your risk of sunburn, early skin aging and skin cancer -- not just one or two of them, but all of them.

Therefore, to reduce your

risk of skin cancer and early aging, I recommend you use a sunscreen with the following features: • Broad spectrum protection • SPF of 30 or higher • Water-resistant for up to 40 or 80 minutes Once you buy the right sunscreen, make sure to apply it properly: • Apply sunscreen before you go out.

• Apply enough and reapply frequently. Use 1 ounce of sunscreen (a shot glass full) to cover your body and face.

• Reapply sunscreen immediately after swimming or heavy sweating.

• Apply every two hours even if you don’t get in the water or sweat.

I was raised in Southern California in the years before we understood all the damage the sun could do to your skin.

Everyone “worked on their tan,” including me. Several skin cancers later, I wish we had then the kind of potent sunscreens we have today.

Thicke heads to court THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Saturday, August 17, 2013 • PlanitNorthwest.com/buzz

Robin Thicke is asking a federal judge to determine his song “Blurred Lines” doesn’t copy from elements of two other songs.

Attorneys for Thicke and the song’s collaborators, Pharrell Williams and T.I., filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Thursday asking a judge to determine their song does not copy songs composed by Marvin Gaye and George Clinton.

“Plaintiffs created a hit and did it without copying anyone else’s composition,” the lawsuit reads.

The suit states representatives of the owners of copyrights to Gaye’s song “Got to Give It Up” and Clinton’s song “Sexy Ways” have warned Thicke that he and his collaborators have used elements of the songs in “Blurred Lines.”

‘That ‘70s Show’ actress dies

Thousands honor Elvis Presley Elvis Presley fans from around the world made their annual pilgrimage to Graceland Thursday to pay their respects to the rock ’n’ roll icon with a solemn candlelight vigil on the 36th anniversary of his death.

Thousands of Presley fans carried lit candles as they walked silently through the Mediation Garden at Graceland, Presley’s longtime Memphis home. The garden is the location of Presley’s grave and also is the spot where his mother, father and grandmother are buried.

Wreaths of flowers and pictures of Presley encircled the grave, while shadows cast by the glowing candles danced along the stone wall surrounding the garden. Soft music played in the mild night, as some in the procession bowed their heads or cried quietly.

Each year, fans of Presley’s music and movies come to Memphis for Elvis Week, the weeklong celebration of his life and career. Presley died on Aug. 16, 1977, of a heart attack after battling prescription drug abuse.

The vigil is the highlight of Elvis Week, which this year featured a listening party at Stax Records for the recent release of the three-CD box set “Elvis at Stax.” Performances by Presley tribute artists and a screening of the “Aloha from Hawaii” television program from January 1973 are other featured events of the weeklong reunion, which wraps up today.

Police estimated 35,000 people would attend the vigil. Last year, an estimated 75,000 people descended on Graceland for the event. Elvis’ ex-wife Priscilla Presley and his daughter Lisa Marie Presley spoke at last year’s event, the first time they appeared together at the vigil since it began.

“That ‘70s Show” actress Lisa Robin Kelly has died at age 43.

Manager Craig Wyckoff says Kelly died Wednesday at a Los Angeles addiction treatment facility she had entered early this week. No official cause of death was disclosed.

Kelly portrayed Laurie Forman, sister of Topher Grace’s lead character Eric, on the Fox series. It concluded in 2006.

Unlike some of her co-stars – Grace, Ashton Kutcher and Laura Prepon – Kelly fell out of the spotlight after appearing on the sitcom until she started making headlines for personal troubles.

She was arrested in November along with husband Robert Joseph Gilliam in connection with a disturbance at their home in Mooresville, N.C. In June, she was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving after her car stalled in Burbank, Calif.

Singer Fergie officially changes name She’s the F to the E, R, G, the I, the E. Fergie has officially changed her name: The singer born Stacy Ann Ferguson is now Fergie Duhamel.

The Grammy winner’s representative confirmed the name change Friday.

Fergie is one-fourth of the Black Eyed Peas. She released her solo debut, “The Dutchess,” in 2006. It launched five big hits, including “Fergalicious” and “Big Girls Don’t Cry.”

The 38-year-old singer is married to 40-year-old actor Josh Duhamel (du-MEHL’). She is pregnant with their first child.

R&B singer Miguel arrested R&B singer Miguel has been arrested in Los Angeles on suspicion of drunken driving.

A spokeswoman for the California Highway Patrol says the 27-year-old “Adorn” crooner was pulled over in his BMW X6 just after 2 a.m. Thursday for speeding and driving with tinted windows.

She says officers administered field sobriety tests, and a preliminary test measured his blood alcohol level at 0.10 percent. The state’s legal limit is 0.08 percent.

FBI probes extortion of Miss Teen USA The FBI is investigating allegations the newly crowned Miss Teen USA was the victim of someone who hacked into a webcam in her Southern California bedroom several months ago in an attempt to extort nude photographs from her.

Agents believe they have identified the person behind the alleged “sextortion” scheme, Laura Eimiller, spokeswoman for the FBI in Los Angeles, said Friday. No arrest has been made.

Cassidy Wolf, a 19-year-old graduate of Great Oak High School in Temecula, won the Miss Teen USA crown last weekend.

Trainer Anne Smith of Crystal Lake takes Nates Mineshaft outside the stables for a quick snack on a hedge Monday at Arlington Park Racecourse in Arlington Heights. Nates Mineshaft will run in Saturday’s Arlington Million.

LIFELONG PASSION CL South graduate Smith follows love for horses as trainer

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com nne Smith had a bachelor’s degree in biology, had worked some jobs that involved chemistry, was on a waiting list for medical school and had been accepted for Officer Candidates School at Marine Corps Base, Quantico, Va. The 1988 Crystal Lake South graduate had options in the early 1990s, but none of those were Smith’s true passion.

Smith remembers the conversation that guided her career choice like it happened yesterday. She had observed Dr. Robert Witkowski, from Barrington’s Good Shepherd Hospital, performing surgeries.

Witkowski offered the aspiring medical student some advice.

“He said, ‘If I could have been a pro golfer, I’d have been a pro golfer,’ ” she said. “ ‘If you love horses, you should give that a shot.’ He told me to stay with what I love.”

Smith heeded the doctor’s words. She went on to teach horse riding and competed in show jumping. Later, she earned her license to gallop thoroughbreds at racetracks. Now Smith, a first-year

Nate’s Mineshaft Here is a look at the numbers on Nates Mineshaft, an Arlington Million entry trained by Crystal Lake South graduate Anne Smith.

Age: 6 Color: Dark bay Weight: About 1,100 pounds Race odds: 30 to 1 Results: One first and one second in three starts this year. Has won eight of his 19 career starts Pedigree: He is the son of Mineshaft, grandson of A.P. Indy and great-grandson of 1977 Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew. Weekend Surprise, daughter of 1973 Triple Crown winner Secretariat, is the mother of A.P. Indy.

Notes: Nate won three races, all on dirt, in 2012. He won a one-mile allowance race on turf July 27. … The 14-mile Million will be the longest race of his career.

her ex-husband was a very good trainer who taught her a lot about the business.

“She actually did a lot of the day-to-day [training] with the horses,” said Scott Reiman, whose farm is in southern Illinois. “She’s such a hard worker and honest. I enjoy working with her more than anybody I’ve worked with.

“The reason we’ve had so many trainers is none of them seemed to think Nate was any good. All they wanted to do was put him in claiming races. I told her how fast this horse was and she believed me.

Anne and Nate just have a connection.”

ALWAYS A HORSE LOVER trainer, has 6-year-old Nates Mineshaft running in the 31st Arlington Million, which is set for a 5:44 p.m. post time Saturday at Arlington Park.

“Right now, I try to remind myself things people like Oprah [Winfrey] say, like ‘You create your own luck,’ ” Smith said. “Or ‘Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.’ I’m going to prepare [Nate] the best I can, the way I think he needs to be ready. It’s my first time doing it, so I’m trying to be

as smart as I can. He’s never faced this kind of competition and never run this distance.”

Also, it will only be Nate’s third race on turf, but he has run well over the past 16 months. Windy Hill Farm father-and-son owners Pete and Scott Reiman felt Smith earned her chance to be their trainer.

She had worked with her husband, Austin Smith, who left Windy Hill last year. The Smiths are now divorced, but Anne says

Smith developed an attachment to horses at an early age. She constantly bugged her parents, Dennis and Kay Preshlock, to let her ride.

By age 8, they bought her a lesson package at Crystal Manor Stables on Route 176, then Smith got a job on the barn crew to pay for her lessons. A couple of years later, after Dennis died, Kay fulfilled one of his wishes and got Smith her own horse.

While so many refuse to focus on anything but the Bears offense and hope that the arrival of Marc Trestman will finally propel that unit into the 21st century, and most of the rest of Bear Nation preaches that defense has always been the Bear way and always will be, it could very well be the Bears special teams that are the difference between contending for Online a playoff spot again this seaFor the latest son or taking a Bears news visit step backward.

Bear Dave PAGE C2 Toub was the best special teams coach in the NFL over the past eight or nine years and he’s now moved on to Kansas City.

Devin Hester was thought to be fast-tracking to Canton as the greatest kick returner in the history of the game until Jerry Angelo and Lovie Smith made up their minds he would be a wide receiver at all costs, including seriously diminishing his effectiveness in the return game.

Robbie Gould, the fourth most accurate kicker in the history of the NFL, was lost for the season with four games remaining last year and needed surgery on a damaged hamstring, potentially a death sentence to the careers of some placekickers.

And this Bears club is so thin at some positions fans might wonder if it can even fill out its coverage and return teams. It’s no wonder the specialty units have been virtually ignored thus far in the preseason.

But they’re not being ignored

by Trestman, who made one of his main focuses for preseason Game 2 getting more production out of his teams.

“We really did want to get a return or two out of Devin because you saw again on the opening kick what an incredible weapon he can be,” Trestman said. “We’re really excited about the year Devin could have.”

Hester is more than Mr. Excitement and a momentum and game changer.

Prairie Ridge’s first Moms’ Clinic a hit Prairie Ridge football coach Chris Schremp used Friday night to get in touch with the program’s feminine side.

A half hour into a meeting with Wolves parents from all levels, the fathers and sons adjourned to the cafeteria for trivia games, while Schremp offered the mothers a version of Prairie Ridge Football 101.

He talked about safety and technique in teaching methods. He talked about the emotions the mothers will see their sons experience. And he talked a lot about the Wolves’ triple-option offense, which, when executed well can be such a beautiful sight.

Schremp was considering how the coaches could freshen up their approach to the season and decided their first Moms’ Clinic might be beneficial.

PREP ZONE Joe Stevenson “Moms run most of the families anyway,” Schremp said. “If we get them on board and they understand what players are going through, they can sit at a football game and really enjoy it and know what’s going on. We thought it would be a better experience for everybody.”

Schremp assured the mothers that his staff has made proper tackling and blocking technique, similar to those of USA Football’s Heads Up program, a priority for at least five years.

He also told mentioned that while

their sons may not like football at some moments during the season, there is a good chance they will cry when it’s over.

Then, Schremp got to the option, using a clip from “The Simpsons” where Bart tries to steal a cookie and a shell game ensues to illustrate what the option does. It was fitting since so much sleight of hand is utilized in the offense.

Tracey Dowdle, whose son Hunter is a freshman football player, knows a lot about the game, having kept statistics at Watseka High School and watched her brothers play.

“I thought it was great,” Dowdle said. “I like to hear about the triple option because I know a lot of teams don’t

GYMNASTICS

Olympian Douglas aims for 2014 return

By WILL GRAVES

Mikulak takes lead at U.S. Championships

The Associated Press HARTFORD, Conn. – Gabby Douglas is pretty much over basking in the afterglow of Olympic glory.

Sure, the trappings of becoming the first American gymnast to win team and Olympic all-around gold medals in the same games are nice. The talk shows. The commercial opportunities. There’s even talk of a movie on her life story in the works.

Yet the 17-year-old wasn’t kidding when she said he plans on making a run at the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro. Any doubt Douglas had about that desire vanished while making an appearance at the Secret Classic in Chicago last month.

Watching the sport that has shaped her life move on without her, Douglas returned to coach Liang Chow’s gym in Iowa eager to get back to work.

“It’s weird sitting on the sidelines,” Douglas said Friday shortly before she and the rest of her “Fierce Five” were inducted into the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame. “I want to be able to get back there and compete and that I can compete so that I have the ability too.”

Douglas is tentatively pointing toward the 2014 U.S. women’s gymnastics championships as the official return date.

BEARS

Rookies Long, Mills stay busy Offensive linemen in for 33 snaps in 2nd preseason game

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@shawmedx8ia.com It definitely was not the Bears’ plan to have Josh McCown lead the team in snaps in Thursday’s preseason game against the San Diego Chargers.

The backup quarterback got 37 reps, or 65 percent of the offensive snaps, because of Matt Blanchard’s fractured knuckle. We can’t glean much of anything from that total, especially considering McCown spent most of his snaps handing it off – he threw only eight passes.

Ignoring the outlier that is McCown, rookie offensive linemen Kyle Long and Jordan Mills, like last week, led in snaps, playing 33 each. They started on the right side of the line and played through the first half and in the first series of the third quarter. Both players impressed – mainly Long – and the coaches again have plenty of tape to watch as they try to figure out who will start at right tackle in Week 1.

Here are other observations from the snap counts in the Bears’ preseason

game against the Chargers: • Fendi Onobun played in only 10 snaps Thursday night. We know that he is better at his receiving than blocking, and with the Bears running the ball often in the second half, that likely kept Onobun off the field. But that’s not a good sign if it means the coaches don’t have enough confidence in his run-blocking compared to Steve Maneri, Leonard Pope and Gabe Miller.

• It was difficult to discern anything about the wide receiver competition with so few passes, but Devin Aromashodu did lead all wideouts with 19 snaps, which could be a testament to his experience and blocking.

• Martellus Bennett: 16 snaps, zero targets.

• Aston Whiteside led the defense with 35 snaps. He had a tackle for loss and helped play defensive tackle when Corvey Irvin went down.

• Taylor Boggs played 31 snaps at center, allowing the coaches to get a good glimpse at whether he can handle being the backup center, or if they’ll need a veteran like Matt Slauson, Edwin Wil-

liams or Eben Britton to handle snapping duties if Roberto Garza goes down.

• Tom Nelson is the forgotten man in the competition for safety, but he led the position with 32 snaps. Nelson is still behind Anthony Walters and Brandon Hardin, but no one has “won” the No. 4 safety job, yet.

• Jon Bostic and Isaiah Frey have played in a combined zero regular-season games, so reps for them are important, considering their expected roles this season. Bostic played in 29 snaps and Frey in 28.

• Cornelious Washington played 28 snaps, but he did not record a tackle.

Washington did play in 12 special-teams plays, which is key for the rookie, and he showed outstanding speed for a big man running with Michael Ford on the long kickoff return.

• Cornerback C.J. Wilson led all undrafted rookies with 28 snaps. There could be room for a sixth corner, or to make the practice squad, and he made a nice open-field tackle as he fends for a spot ahead of fellow undrafted rookie Demontre Hurst.

• ARKUSH Continued from page C1 During the Bears’ 2006 Super Bowl season, and again when they won the NFC North in 2011, the Bears led the NFL in average starting field position due to all of their special teams work but in particular because of Hester’s unique return ability.

This could be particularly important this season, if Hester can bounce back because of the time it may take for both the offense and defense to settle into new schemes and new coaching.

New special teams coach Joe DeCamillas carries the title of assistant head coach and there is little concern among NFL Insiders that he can pick up where Toub left off.

The one big issue he faces is the roster decisions that will be made to fill out his teams.

“We have a core of veterans who will make

In addition to the starters, Zack Bowman, Sherrick McManis, Isaiah Frey and Craig Steltz appear near locks to make the club. That leaves Demontre Hurst, Brandon Hardin, Tom Zbikowski, Anthony Walters and C.J. Wilson fighting for one or at most two roster spots.

Perhaps they do, but . . .

While that group will almost certainly be led

by Eric Weems, Blake Costanzo, Zack Bowman and Sherrick McManis, the rest of DeCamillas’ coverage teams will be dictated by roster battles at positions where few clear choices have emerged.

Until decisions have been made on the second and third tight ends, whether the roster can afford a seventh linebacker, if there is a young wide receiver or running back who can contribute and who the backup safeties and cornerbacks are, the coverage units will have to wait.

8AUTO RACING BRIEF

Reports the Bears will add Jordan Palmer as their third quarterback with the loss of Matt Blanchard raise an interesting question. Will they carry three QBs? Since Jay Cutler arrived, the Bears have preferred carrying two QBs and using the third spot elsewhere on the roster. They like Blanchard but almost certainly could have gotten him to the practice squad.

Palmer is not eligible for the practice squad and has to know he has no time or chance to wrest the No. 2 job from Josh McCown. Why

HARTFORD, Conn. – Sam Mikulak sprinted to the lead at the U.S. men’s gymnastics championships Friday night, riding a sublime routine on pommel horse to close in on his first national title.

Mikulak, a two-time NCAA allaround champion, had a score of 91.65. Jake Dalton was second, almost three points behind. Alex Naddour was third.

“I know more about basketball, this was great. You hear around town about the option offense, and I didn’t know what that meant. Now we kind of know, we have a little bit of an idea.”

Schremp projected images from his laptop to show the option and the Wolves’ 3-5-3 defense, explaining the positions in terms the women could understand.

Jan Brown has two sons in the program, sophomore Dean who is out with an ACL injury and freshman Cole. Her hus-

band Mike is director of the Junior Wolves feeder program and knows the intricacies of the option.

“I knew a lot of it, but seeing the defense was neat for me,” Brown said. “I love the fact that [Schremp] reached out to the parents, especially the moms. It was a great idea to incorporate the plays. It was great that he showed that.”

BROOKLYN, Mich. – On another record-setting day at Michigan International Speedway, Joey Logano raced to one of the fastest qualifying speeds in NASCAR history.

Logano won the pole at 203.949 mph Friday in his No.

22 Ford, breaking the track record set by Marcos Ambrose last year. Ambrose’s mark of 203.241 came on the first Sprint Cup weekend on a newly paved surface at MIS. His record lasted 14 months.

Logano’s speed was the ninth-highest by a NASCAR pole winner – and the fastest

since Bill Elliott set the record of 212.809 at Talladega on April 30, 1987.

“I don’t know how fast it is, but it feels freaking fast,” Logano said.

Kurt Busch qualified second, and points leader Jimmie Johnson was third.

Training horses a family tradition

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

Trainer Anne Smith brings Nates Mineshaft inside the stables at Arlington Park in Arlington Heights.

Smith was on Illini equestrian team • PASSION Continued from page C1 Witkowski and his surgery partner at Good Shepherd, Dr. Robert Flanigan, had been Dennis Preshlock’s doctors when he was sick. As a favor to the family, they let Smith observe surgeries after she graduated from Illinois. It was during that time that Witkowski offered his fatherly advice.

“She’s loved horses since she was a toddler,” said Preshlock, who still lives in Crystal Lake. “Each horse is an individual. Anne recognizes each personality and their individual moods. She has a good eye for what each horse will respond to. She’s very talented at that.”

Smith competed in hunter and jumper shows through high school and rode on the equestrian team while attending the University of Illinois.

In the summer of 1990, she had an internship at Arlington with trainer Carl Nafzger, a member of the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame.

That summer, Nafzger had Kentucky Derby champion Unbridled at Arlington.

Nafzger taught her how to gallop thoroughbreds, but she went back to show jumping and teaching.

“I still incorporate methods and ideas from my show jumping peers,” Smith said. “Every horse has something to teach you. Every trainer you work

with will have something you can take with you.”

Smith jumped against Olympic riders and qualified for national competitions three times. Jumpers still hold a spot in her heart and when she sees a thoroughbred that obviously is not going to be fast enough, she “reconditions” them and helps set them up with her jumping friends.

She points to one of the 14 Windy Hill Farm horses in her stall at the Arlington barns, who is a jumping candidate.

The mare is just not fast enough to race.

“That’s tough, letting them go,” Smith said. “You want them to stay with you, but you have to make those kinds of decisions. Hopefully, they’re good [at jumping] and you can hear about how great they’re doing in their new job.”

NEW OPPORTUNITY Smith lives close to the track and arrives around 5 each morning. The day starts with her checking the horses’ legs and arranging their training schedules. She has four hours to get it all done before the track opens.

The Reimans hired Smith without reservations in October. They appreciated her knowledge and the way she handled the horses. They felt she, as much as anyone, helped Nate break out over the past year and a half.

There is some trial and

error in horse training. Smith, who ran track in high school, says horses are very much like human athletes in some ways.

“These 2-year-olds are like junior high kids, some are growing and gawky, some are sprouting chest hair, and some are still shy and want to watch,” she said. “Every single horse is different. You have to tweak and customize for their needs to bring out their potential.”

Nate had an easy week leading up to the biggest moment of his career Saturday afternoon. His week included two massages and one day of paddock schooling, where he stands in the starting gate to make sure there are no issues there before the race.

On Saturday, Smith says Nate will know it’s time.

“All of a sudden, he feels three inches taller,” Smith said. “He starts walking around the barn grabbing everybody’s hay nets like he owns the barn. He starts shaking his head. He looks up in the grandstand and he knows he’s about to be on stage. It’s really cool. They’re very intelligent.”

Kay Preshlock will be among the contingent cheering Nate on Saturday. She is proud her daughter has reached one of the sport’s pinnacle races.

“I am not surprised [she is a trainer],” Preshlock said. “She has dedication, determination and a true talent and affection for horses.”

Training horses was practically Larry Rivelli’s destiny.

His grandfather, Pete DiVito, trained horses most of his life. The same went for Rivelli’s uncle, Jimmy DiVito, who still trains in the Chicago area.

So when Rivelli was finished with his football career at NCAA Division II St. Cloud State in the early 1990s, he headed for the racetrack. By 1999, the 1989 Crystal Lake South graduate had become a full-time trainer, and in 2011 he was named Arlington Park’s leading trainer.

Rivelli, 42, trains for several owners at Arlington and has one horse, Ojos de Hielo, in the American St. Leger that runs Saturday as part of the Arlington Million day. The American St. Leger is a $400,000 race that covers 11/16 mile on turf and is set to run at 3:52 p.m.

“I had a couple of tryouts with NFL teams, but wasn’t good enough,” said Rivelli,

who was one of the state’s best running backs in 1988. “My grandfather was still alive, and I started working with my uncle. I’d grown up around horses.”

Rivelli and his wife, Valerie, have two children – Brittney, 12, and Dominick, 10 – and live Larry Rivelli in Lake in the Hills.

“You have to love it to get up every day at 5 and go all day long, then go to sleep before your kids do,” Rivelli said.

“It’s like owning your own football team, you watch them develop.”

Rivelli owns some horses, but he mainly works as a trainer for others.

“Training the horses is easy,” Rivelli said. “Training the owners is the hardest part.

That’s what I’ve been doing my whole life is training the owners. You have to be able to spot the horses in the right

place. In football, there’s high school, college and pros, and with horses, there are some that are better than others.”

Getting horses in the right races, he says, can be difficult.

“Some lady might have bred the horse, it’s her favorite and she named it after her granddaughter, and they don’t want to run it in a claiming race where it could get claimed,” Rivelli said. “So they just run it over its head.

Does that mean you’re a bad trainer? No. They’re not necessarily bad owners, but they’re not letting the trainer do his job. Let it run where it needs to run to win.”

Rivelli hit a hot streak in 2011, which led to him winning the top trainer honor.

“I didn’t have that many horses,” Rivelli said. “You usually need to have 50 to 80 horses, I probably had 30 or 35 at the time, but won a bunch of races with the same horses over and over and over again. ... It was an honor to win with so many good trainers.”

Cubs did Sandberg favor not hiring him Now that the Phillies have named Ryne Sandberg their interim manager, I’m sure some Cubs fans are saying, “I told you so.’’ But that would be an appropriate response only if the Cubs had announced to the world that Sandberg would never be a big-league manager. They just said he wasn’t for them.

The reason fans wanted Ryno as skipper here had to do with nostalgia, which is the recognized currency in Wrigleyville. Remember how good Ryno was in 1984 and 1990? Remember his two home-run game against the Cardinals’ Bruce Sutter? People get wistful just thinking about the Cubs’ Hall of Fame second baseman.

Philadelphia replaced Charlie Manuel with Sandberg on Friday, and like a trade that benefits both teams, this was a move that was good for both the Phillies and the Cubs.

But it was best for Sandberg.

If Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein had caved in to fan pressure and named Sandberg manager before last season, poor Ryno would be in the middle of the mess the franchise finds itself in now. He would be knee deep in what Dale Sveum finds himself in. It’s why Sveum would be better off wearing fishing waders rather than spikes. It’s why if Sveum survives this, it will be a miracle. Count your blessings, Ryne.

No one is saying Sandberg is inheriting a fun-filled pool party in Philadelphia.

At the time Manuel was let go, the Phillies had lost 19 of their previous 23 games. It’s going to be a tough job for Sandberg, but he has won

everywhere he has been as a minor-league manager.

What irritated many of us was the idea that it was somehow preordained the Cubs’ job was Sandberg’s once he decided he wanted to be a manager. And I’m sure the idea irritated Cubs management over the years. Just because you want something doesn’t mean you get it. And just because fans wearing oversized Harry Caray glasses frames wanted Ryno, so what?

Will Sandberg be a good manager at the big-league level? Part of that has to do with how much talent the Phillies have. Going into their game Friday against the Dodgers, they were 20½ games out of first place in the NL East. But general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. surely will be looking at how Sandberg, private and soft-spoken as a player, communicates with his troops.

The Sandberg situation had been a trap for the Cubs.

Don’t hire him, and you look like you’re trampling team history. Hire him, and you don’t really know what you’re getting as a manager. Worse, you could have a fan uprising on your hands if their beloved favorite doesn’t work out.

The Cubs did not miss the boat in letting Sandberg go.

They waved as the boat sailed away. It was the right move.

A-Rod camp denies leaking documents NEW YORK – Members of Alex Rodriguez’s inner circle obtained and leaked documents that implicated Ryan Braun and other players in using performance-enhancing drugs, “60 Minutes” reported Friday.

Citing unidentified sources, the CBS news show said the leak occurred in February, days after the Miami New Times published documents implicating the Yankees star in the Biogenesis investigation.

In the Miami New Times documents, the names of Braun and one of Rodriguez’s teammates, catcher Francisco Cervelli, are redacted. “60 Minutes” reports that members of Rodriguez’s camp obtained unredacted versions and leaked them to Yahoo! Sports.

Rodriguez’s lawyer, David Cornwell, denied the allegations to”60 Minutes.”

“The allegations are untrue and are another attempt to harm Alex – this time by driving a wedge between Alex and other players in the game,” he said in a statement to the show. “While Alex focuses on baseball and repeatedly states that he is going to respect the appeal process, the drumbeat of false allegations continues.”

Speaking before Friday night’s game against the Boston Red Sox, Rodriguez claimed the story had been reported four months ago and was not a surprise.

“I spoke to Cervelli this morning. He understands,” Rodriguez said in the visitor’s dugout at Fenway Park. “We had that conversation. He understands completely that it’s not true.”

Rodriguez has been suspended for 211 games through the 2014 season. He is allowed to play until a decision is issued by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz, which is not expected until at least November.

“Let’s make one thing clear: the next seven weeks there’s going to be a very, very bumpy road every day and expect a story like this if not longer,”

Rodriguez said. “We’re going to have to deal with it. When we have the right timing, and the time is appropriate, which is not now, I will tell my story.”

Braun, the Milwaukee Brewers slugger, accepted a 65game suspension last month.

All-Stars Nelson Cruz, Jhonny Peralta and Everth Cabrera were banned 50 games apiece Aug. 5 when Major League Baseball disciplined 13 players, including Cervelli, for their relationship to Biogenesis of America, a Florida anti-aging clinic accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs.

Rodriguez admitted four years ago that he used PEDs while with Texas from 2001-03 but has repeatedly denied using them since. His penalty was more than double the previous high for a PED suspension.

A-Rod’s drug penalty was for “his use and possession of numerous forms of prohibited performance-enhancing substances, including testosterone and human growth hormone over the course of multiple years,” MLB said.

His punishment under the labor contract was for “attempting to cover up his violations of the program by engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate the office of the commissioner’s investigation.”

Commissioner Bud Selig said Thursday he thought the punishment was “eminently fair.”

“I have a job to do, and that’s protecting the integrity of the game and enforcing it, and that’s what I’m going to do,” he said.

MLB’s investigation began last year after San Francisco outfielder and All-Star game MVP Melky Cabrera tested positive for elevated testosterone, as did Oakland pitcher Bartolo Colon and San Diego catcher Yasmani Grandal. The inquiry escalated in January when the Miami New Times published documents obtained from former Biogenesis associate Porter Fisher that linked several players to the clinic.

Cubs starting pitcher Jake Arrieta falls as he fields a ball hit by the St. Louis Cardinals’ Carlos Beltran in the second inning Friday at Wrigley Field. Arrieta was unable to make a throw to first, but he pitched seven shutout innings in the Cubs’ 7-0 win.

Arrieta impresses again

By TONI GINNETTI

Cubs shut out Cardinals

Chicago Sun-Times CHICAGO – Carlos Villanueva is quick to say he’ll have no complaints next season if he is “popping champagne” in the clubhouse as a Cubs bullpen pitcher.

It would mean Villanueva would have done his part paving the way for his rotation replacement, Jake Arrieta.

“I saw him pitch in Baltimore and here, and he’s got great stuff,” Villanueva said Friday in his first comments since losing his starting job.

“If we can have a guy who can be a big contributor for Next next year in that role, which I think he could be, let’s see St. Louis at what it is.”

Cubs, 3:05 p.m.

Arrieta showed his best Saturday, Fox, Friday in his second start for AM-720 the Cubs, shutting out the St. Louis Cardinals on two hits through seven innings in a 7-0 victory.

The Cubs scored more runs for Arrieta (1-0) in one game than they had for the rest of the staff in the past six home games – and all he needed was one.

“When anybody can throw a ball 90 mph, spinning it, that kind of thing, and they have the velocity and have 97 mph in their back pocket when they need it – it’s very intriguing,” manager Dale Sveum said.

“That’s the kind of stuff that the power arms can do – throwing strikes and making pitches.

“We wanted to get him here with [pitching coach Chris] Bosio and see him and work with him and the system we have in place,” Sveum said of Arrieta, 27, acquired from Baltimore on July 2 in the Scott Feldman trade.

“We’re not judging anything, just getting this guy to have command and understand how to use his pitches and do the things he can do with that kind of power arm.”

Arrieta was the Orioles’ Opening Day starter, but he was sent down after three more starts with a 1-2 record and 7.23 ERA.

CHICAGO – Jake Arrieta threw seven shutout innings and Nate Schierholtz drove in three runs to lead the Cubs to a 7-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday.

Arrieta (1-0) allowed two hits and struck out seven for his first win with the Cubs.

The hard-throwing right-hander was acquired from the Baltimore Orioles in a July 2 trade.

Before Friday, his only other day on the Cubs’ roster was as the 26th man for a doubleheader against Milwaukee on July 30.

– The Associated Press In two starts for the Cubs, that ERA is 0.69.

“For me, there’s no question that this change of scenery and this trade was huge for me and my career,’’ Arrieta said. “Not only for me, but I think for the Cubs, as well.

I couldn’t be more excited to be here. I’m thankful to the front office for wanting me and bringing me into this organization.”

Knowing he is in the rotation already has helped him, he said.

“The biggest thing is just being able to get into the routine [of starting] again,’’ he said.

“Knowing that I’m going to be taking the ball every fifth day for this team, it’s a good feeling, I knew it was just a matter of time.

“My mindset was to go about my business and progress and be consistent – whether it’s here or in Iowa. The goal is the same – and that’s to be successful at minimizing the damage and keeping my pitch count down and trying to get deep into games.”

Arrieta struck out seven and walked two – both in the sixth. But he ended the inning with one of his five called-third strikes, to Matt Holliday.

“That’s really what’s gotten me in the pasttoo many free passes,” he said. “I’ve made a conscious effort to get better at certain things, and it’s starting to show.’’

ANALYSIS: WHITE SOX 5, TWINS 2

St. Louis Chicago

Cooper OK with 4-lefty rotation

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN Chicago Sun-Times MINNEAPOLIS – Pitching coach Don Cooper doesn’t see what the big deal is about the White Sox having a leftyhefty starting rotation.

With Chris Sale, John Danks, Hector Santiago and Jose Quintana – who held the Minesota Twins to two runs Friday in a 5-2 Sox victory to snap a 10-game road losing streak – the Sox have four lefties in their rotation. And barring a trade, they could move forward with those four and a right-hander to be determined next season.

“Would it be an issue if you had four righties and a left-hander?’’ Cooper said.

“I can’t make it a big deal.

These are our tools. When the tools work, we’ve got a chance.’’

Four lefties in a rotation is a topic of conversation because it’s unusual. Since 1950, eight teams have had 110 or more games started by lefties, including the 1975 Sox with workhorse Wilbur Wood, Jim Kaat and Claude Osteen at 124; and the ’79 and ’80 Sox with Ken Kravec, Rich Wortham, Ross Baumgarten and Steve Trout with 116 and 111. Some outstanding teams are in that group also, including the ’65 World Series champion Dodgers (112) and

the 1980 Yankees (110), who won 109 games.

The Sox project to give about 112 starts, or 69 percent, to lefties this season.

They could approach 80 percent next year barring injuries.

“Nothing is set in stone with regards to next year’s rotation just yet,’’ general manager Rick Hahn said Friday. “However, given how they’ve each performed and how we project their futures, all four of our left-handed starters certainly seem well-suited to continue in those roles for the long-haul.

While a lefty-heavy rotation could conceivably create some match-up issues with right-handed-heavy lineups, these guys have the arsenals to help neutralize some of that. Ultimately, we’ll plan to give the most innings in 2014 to the five best guys regardless of handedness.’’

While most hitters bat right and have a percentage-wise advantages against lefties, that hasn’t been an issue for the Sox rotation.

Quintana was limiting righthanders to a .240 average going into Friday’s start, the fourth-best mark among AL left-handers. Santiago was third at .227 and Sale fifth at .243.

“I think we’ve learned how to pitch to right-handers

more because we see them more often,’’ said Sale, the staff ace. “Hector’s best pitch is the fastball in to a righty, and he comes back with two different change-ups away that are plus pitches. Same with John – get that cutter in on the hands with that change-up so they have to cover the outside. Quintana throws that cutter in, and he backdoors one.’’

In the end, what matters most is not which arm but the skill of the pitcher. And Cooper said his young lefties, while effective, can all get better.

Quintana, who lowered his ERA to 3.66, allowed six hits – including a solo homer

by Joe Mauer in the first inning – and two walks over 62/3 innings. He struck out seven, and gave up a second run because Wilkin Ramirez’s catchable deep fly ball in left fell by Dayan Viciedo for a triple.

Viciedo singled in two runs against Kevin Correia (8-9) in the second. Jeff Keppinger hit his third homer and Adam Dunn his 28th two hitters apart in the third to give Quintana a 4-1 lead.

SOLHEIM CUP, DAY 1: EUROPE 5, USA 3

Europe jumps out on American soil

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press PARKER, Colo. – Europe took an important step Friday toward winning the Solheim Cup on American soil.

Carlota Ciganda of Spain salvaged an unlikely par from a hazard on the par-5 15th hole and kept her and Suzann Pettersen from falling behind. Pettersen won the next hole with a birdie, sending them from 2 down at the turn to a 1-up victory in a pivotal fourball match that staked Europe to a 5-3 lead.

A long day at Colorado Golf Club ended with Stacy Lewis, on the losing end of that match, getting into a heated discussion with an official over the use of a laser by the official to determine the right drop. At one point, Lewis threw her hands in the air. Along with using a laser, Lewis was upset with the length of the chaotic ruling.

The laser was used to make sure Ciganda’s options would be equal distance from the hole.

“Part of the problem we had with it was the rules official lasered the flag and made it public information. So he gave them a number,” Lewis said.

That was a moot point, however, when Ciganda eventually dropped from an entirely different spot. She hit her fourth shot just off the green, and holed a 15-foot putt right when it looked as if the Americans would take the lead.

“The explanation was about as bad as the ruling, I thought,” Lewis said. “I don’t think it was correct. It took way too long.

It killed the momentum of our match. It killed the momentum of the matches behind us, and it’s just not what you want the rules officials to ever do.”

It was a tough day for Lewis, coming off a Women’s British Open title at St. Andrews.

Lewis struggled with the pace of lightning fast greens on the front nine as she and Liz-

ette Salas fell too far behind to catch up in morning foursomes.

Lewis played with another U.S. rookie, Lexi Thompson, who twice squandered good birdie chances late in the fourballs.

Lewis is 1-5 in the Solheim Cup. Pettersen and Carolina Hedwall led the European charge by winning both their matches. Pettersen, playing in her seventh Solheim Cup, drilled a fairway metal into 20 feet on the 16th hole that set up Beatriz Recari for the eagle putt to take charge in a foursomes match. In the afternoon, it was Pettersen’s 7-foot birdie putt on the 16th – after Thompson three-putted for par – that gave Europe the lead.

Angela Stanford’s overall record dropped to 3-9-3 as she lost both her matches – with Brittany Lang in the morning and with rookie Gerina Piller in the afternoon.

The day was not a total loss for Meg Mallon’s squad.

She was scrutinized for taking Michelle Wie as a captain’s pick. Wie’s superb short game combined with Cristie Kerr making big putts early as they disposed of Catriona Matthew and 17-year-old Charley Hull, 2 and 1, in the final match. The Americans picked up another point in the afternoon behind Lang and Lincicome.

In the morning, the lone American point came from Morgan Pressel and Jessica Korda, a 20-year-old rookie who had a most unusual start.

After a breakfast of milk and cereal, she was munching on a banana down the first fairway when she became nauseous.

She walked over to the side of the fairway and threw up, news that spread quickly across the expansive course and gave her teammates a moment of levity.

“After I got past the first hole, I was pretty OK,” said Korda, whose 7-foot par putt to halve the 16th hole clinched the match.

A returning starter for Northern Illinois, defensive tackle Ken Bishop participates in a drill during practice Monday in DeKalb.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS ANALYSIS: DEFENSE

Talent abounds to fill holes players on the line, but it still is to be determined whether NIU will be able to do that.

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The Northern Illinois defense has a lot to replace from last season.

Defensive ends Sean Progar and Alan Baxter are in NFL camps, as is cornerback Rashaan Melvin. Nabal Jefferson also was a big part of the defensive line on the inside.

Shaw Media broke down what NIU has to replace within each unit of the defense by looking at the numbers. Here’s what we came up with:

DEFENSIVE LINE Starters lost: DE Sean Progar, DE Alan Baxter, DT Nabal Jefferson Statistical production lost: 35 starts, 167 tackles, 19 sacks, 28.5 tackles for loss, five pass breakups, one interception Starters returning: DT Ken Bishop Who fills the void: DE Joe Windsor, DE George Rainey, DT Donovan Gordon, DT Anthony Wells, DE Jason Meehan The 19 sacks and 28.5 tackles for loss is a lot to replace, and this is the part of the defense where NIU was hurt the most by graduation.

Still, there’s talent. Windsor was good in a reserve role last season, finishing with 10.5 tackles for loss and seven sacks. Bishop should be a force on the inside again. Wells had 8.5 tackles for loss and four sacks last year, and Rainey got playing time, as well. The question is, who fills out the role of a guy like Windsor? Defensive coordinator Jay Niemann said he’d like to rotate 8 to 10

LINEBACKERS Starters lost: OLB Tyrone Clark, MLB Victor Jacques

Starters returning: OLB Jamaal Bass Statistical production lost: 22 starts, 133 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss, seven pass breakups, one interception Who fills the void: MLB Boomer Mays, OLB Rasheen Lemon, LB Michael Santacaterina The coaching staff raved about Bass during the spring, and he already has had two years as a starter. Mays started four games last year and had 31 tackles and five tackles for loss, while Santacaterina has played multiple spots. Lemon should make his first start when the Huskies open the season at Iowa.

SECONDARY Starters lost: CB Rashaan Melvin, S Demetrius Stone

Statistical production lost: 26 starts, 132 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, 22 pass breakups, three interceptions Returning starters: CB Sean Evans, S Jimmie Ward Who fills the void: S Dechane Durante, CB/S Marlon Moore, CB Jhony Faustin, S Dominique Ware Before the season, NIU coach Rod Carey called the secondary the strength of his defense. It’s easy to see why. Ward should be a first-team all-conference pick again. With only two starters gone, there’s a lot of experience back. Durante and Moore both started games a year

Rookie Reed leads PGA Tour’s Wyndham GREENSBORO, N.C. – Patrick Reed listens to wife Justine. And with good reason: She’s carrying his clubs.

With his wife serving as his caddie, the PGA Tour rookie shot a 6-under 64 on Friday to take a one-stroke lead in the Wyndham Championship. He had an 11-under 129 total.

“I don’t mind her having all the attention,” Reed said.

“Less attention for me, which means I can just focus more on my game.”

Reed had six birdies in a bogey-free round that was a stroke shy of matching his best of the year.

John Huh had the best round of the day – a 62 – to move to 10 under. John Deere winner Jordan Spieth was 9 under after a 66. Spieth also is a PGA Tour rookie, and Huh is

CL’s Affrunti misses cut at Wyndham Joe Affrunti of Crystal Lake missed the cut at the PGA Tour’s Wyndham Championship in Greensboro after shooting an evenpar 70 on Friday. He was at 4-over 144 for the tournament. The cut was at 1-under 139.

Affrunti, playing in his fifth PGA Tour event of the year, missed his second consecutive cut after making the cut in his first three tournaments.

– Northwest Herald in his second year.

Charlie Wi, Bob Estes, Rory Sabbatini, Brian Harman, Jim Herman and first-round co-leader Ross Fisher were 7 under.

Wi had a 65, Estes, Harman, Herman and Sabbatini shot 66,

and Fisher had a 69.

The field is littered with players trying to either hold on to their FedEx Cup playoff position or force their way into The Barclays in New Jersey next week. The top 125 on the points list qualify for the postseason.

Tommy “Two Gloves” Gainey, who arrived at No. 137, moved to 3 under after his 69. Fisher, at No. 162, kept himself in position to challenge for a playoff spot, and so did Herman, No. 149.

But for others, the bubble may have burst: No. 126 Peter Hanson and No. 129 Padraig Harrington both missed the cut. Hanson was at 1 over after his 73 while Harrington’s 74 left him at 7 over.

Dick’s Sporting Goods Open: At Endicott, N.Y., Kenny Perry shot a 7-under 65 to take a oneshot lead after the first round

Perry, the Senior Players and U.S. Senior Open winner this summer, had three birdies over the final four holes to surge past Bart and Brad Bryant and Joel Edwards.

U.S. Amateur: At Brookline, Mass., Australians Brady Watt and Oliver Goss advanced to the semifinals along with Canada’s Corey Conners and England’s Matt Fitzpatrick, marking the first time that an American has failed to reach the final four.

Watt, a co-medalist in stroke-play qualifying, had a dramatic 1-up victory over 17-year-old Scottie Scheffler of Dallas. Scheffler, the U.S. Junior Amateur champion, had a hole-in-one on the par-3 seventh and trailed only once – when Watt made a 5-foot par putt to win the match on the 18th hole.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

NCAA suspends Illini assistant Walker 2 games The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHAMPAIGN – University of Illinois men’s assistant basketball coach Jamall Walker has been given a two-game postseason suspension and a reprimand by the NCAA.

ANALYSIS There’s a lot of talent gone, evidenced by the fact that three guys (Melvin, Progar and Baxter) are in NFL camps.

However, it’s not like there’s a ton of inexperienced players stepping in, as a lot of them played big roles last year even if they were not starters on the depth chart. Windsor could be in for a big season at defensive end, and Mays played well at inside linebacker last year. Durante was a starting safety at the beginning of 2012 before getting injured.

There’s a lot to replace, but the Huskies are in a spot where they’re going to be playing guys who come in with experience and starts under their belts.

“Our two-deep is misleading because it shows that there are a lot of guys playing that aren’t starters back from last year, but in fact they role played, or rotated, or had some significant impact in the outcome of games,” Niemann said.

“So they’re not going in untested, which is good. They don’t have the number of snaps of guys who’ve left, obviously, but they have been in the fire, so to speak.

They’ve performed in key games and at key times and they’ve been in those situations that they’re going to be in this upcoming year.”

ago, while Faustin started 10 games in 2011.

Melvin is a big loss. His 17 pass breakups led the Mid-American Conference last year, yet he only earned an honorable mention All-MAC selection.

Can anyone fill the role of a shutdown corner?

The NCAA said Friday the punishments were tied to Walker’s behavior during the third-round NCAA Tournament game against Miami on March 24.

The NCAA said Walker inappropriately contacted and verbally confronted game

officials and a police officer after the Illini lost 63-59.

The suspension applies to the next two NCAA postseason games Walker participates in as a coach, regardless of the school he represents.

Illinois head basketball

coach John Groce said the team takes pride in good sportsmanship and calls Walker’s penalty an “unfortunate situation.”

Walker said in a statement issued by the school that he accepts the penalty and is “ready to move forward.”

FIVE-DAY PLANNER

Isinbayeva: Anti-gay comments ‘may have been misunderstood’

By JIM HEINTZ

USA’s Felix injured as Fraser-Pryce wins 200

The Associated Press MOSCOW – Russian pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva’s comments on her country’s law against gay “propaganda” seemed as unequivocal as the bar-clearing jump that won her the world championship: She supported the law and derided gays.

But Friday, Isinbayeva said that her comments, in somewhat fractured English the day before, might have Yelena been misunderstood Isinbayeva and that she opposes any discrimination against gays.

The clarification – or U-turn – underlined the sensitivity of the issue for Russia as international criticism of the law persists and calls continue for a boycott of February’s Winter Olympics in the Russian resort of Sochi.

The Olympics, like the world championships where Isinbayeva won gold and made her comments, are part of a series of major sports events that Russia hopes will showcase the country as sophisticated and forward-looking. The propaganda law has instead provoked criticism that Russia is retreating from the modern world.

Isinbayeva’s comments were especially dicey for Russia’s image.

Not only is she an internationally popular athlete both for her skills and exuberance, but she is also the “mayor” of one of Sochi’s two Olympic villages, an honorary but symbolic and visible role.

“She is a very recognized figure around the world. And I think she should be thinking of what she is saying,” said Nikolai Alexeyev, Russia’s most prominent gay-rights activist. “I am not surprised that the story is starting to develop and she has to find an excuse for what she said.”

In a news conference Thursday, the two-time Olympic gold medalist supported the Russian law and criticized two Swedish competitors for their rainbow-colored fingernails in support of gay rights.

“If we allow to promote and do all this stuff on the street, we are very afraid about our nation because we consider ourselves like normal, standard people. We just live with

MOSCOW – Allyson Felix flew out of the blocks, same as usual. She tried to settle into her rhythm around the turn, as she always has.

Then everything went horribly wrong for the American sprinter. She suddenly screamed and began hopping before falling to the track with a torn hamstring.

There went her world championships.

There possibly went her season, too.

As Jamaica’s Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce won the 200-meter race Friday, Felix, the Olympic champion in the event, was at the far end of the stadium being tended to by medical personnel.

And as Fraser-Pryce dropped to the track in celebration, Felix was being carried off by her brother, Wes. Felix had big plans, too, possibly winning three medals – one in her signature event, the 200, along with maybe two more in the 4x100 and 4x400 relays.

Fraser-Pryce won in 22.17 seconds.

Murielle Ahoure of Ivory Coast was second, a fraction of a second ahead of Nigeria’s Blessing Okagbare, a silver medalist in the long jump.

The long-term status of Felix remains murky.

Felix’s fall was one of several did-thatjust-happen moments for the Americans.

Earlier, American shot putter Ryan Whiting lost out on gold when an official ruling was reversed during the event.

David Storl was at first red-flagged for a foot fault within the circle. The German thrower protested vehemently and a photographer at the scene showed officials pictures of what happened. The official changed his mind and let the winning throw stand.

The U.S. team did not file a protest.

Everything went right for the U.S. 4x400 relay team as the Americans won their fifth straight world title in convincing fashion with LaShawn Merritt strolling across the finish line. boys with woman, woman with boys,” she said.

But Friday, after her comments attracted international attention, Isinbayeva said, “English is not my first language, and I think I may have been misunderstood when I spoke yesterday.”

“What I wanted to say was that people should respect the laws of other countries, particularly when

they are guests. I respect the views of my fellow athletes, and let me state in the strongest terms that I am opposed to any discrimination against gay people,” she said in a statement released by local organizers of the championships.

The law penalizes anyone who distributes information aimed at persuading minors that “nontraditional” relationships are normal or attractive. It appears that anyone wearing a rainbow flag on the street or writing about gay relationships on Facebook, for instance, could be accused of propagandizing.

The law has raised concern about how gay athletes might be treated in Sochi. Russian officials have made contradictory statements about whether the law would be enforced during the games, and the International Olympic Committee has asked for clarification. Foreigners found guilty of violating the law could be imprisoned for 15 days and deported.

“The Games themselves should be open to all, free of discrimination, and that applies to spectators, officials, media and of course athletes,” Claudia Bokel, chair of the IOC’s Athletes’ Commission, said on her Twitter account. “We would oppose in the strongest terms any move that would jeopardize this principle.”

Both the law and Isinbayeva’s first comments appear to have placed other Russian athletes in a quandary – support for individual rights vs. support for their country.

“On the one hand, you have to respect everybody’s individuality, the interests of other people. On the other hand, you have to look at the history of each country. Every country has its own traditions,” Russian triple jumper Aleksey Fedorov said Friday.

Steve Cram, the British runner who won the first 1,500-meter gold medal at the 1983 world championships, competed in the 1980 Moscow Olympics, when many other Western countries refused to go for political reasons.

“I don’t believe in boycotts,” Cram said in Moscow. “I think situations like that should be aired, should be allowed to be aired and spoken about by anyone who wants to. People should be allowed to give their opinions. I don’t agree with her opinions. I don’t agree with the [Russian law], but that’s my personal opinion.”

An American Airlines plane is seen between two US Airways planes at Washington’s Ronald Reagan National Airport. The Justice Department and a number of U.S. state attorneys general have challenged a proposed $11 billion merger between US Airways Group Inc. and American Airlines’ parent company, AMR Corp.

Costs taking off Airline mergers have already led to higher fares

By SCOTT MAYEROWITZ The Associated Press NEW YORK – The government is trying to put a stop to rising airfares and fees by blocking the latest airline merger – but for fliers, it’s already too late.

The past decade has seen the largest transformation of the airline industry in a generation. Before 2005, there were nine major U.S. airlines.

Today, just five.

The merger of American Airlines and US Airways would bring that number down to four. But Tuesday, the Department of Justice moved to block the deal, saying it would cost consumers hundreds of millions of dollars a year in higher fares and extra fees.

But even before this, the cost of flying had gone up for consumers as the industry consolidated. The average cost of a roundtrip domestic ticket – including baggage and reservation change fees – grew to $378.62 last year, up from $351.48 in 2008, when adjusted for inflation.

The American-US Airways merger would create the world’s biggest airline and help propel American out of bankruptcy court protection. For smaller US Airways, the deal represents a chance to be a significant player in global aviation and to better compete with the larger airlines that now dominate the market.

The airline industry has been searching for stability ever since the government stopped regulating routes and prices in 1978.

Companies that once had profitable monopolies suddenly faced startups that undercut their fares. Since deregulation, 195 airlines – small and large – have filed for bankruptcy. Some emerged stronger. Some stopped flying. Others survived only through mergers.

While deregulation created havoc for the airlines’ bottom line, it did open up flying to the masses. Air

WASHINGTON – U.S. developers broke ground on homes at a faster pace in July.

But the rise was all due to apartment construction, which is typically volatile. By contrast, builders began work on fewer single-family homes – the bulk of the market – and sought fewer permits to build them.

Friday’s report from the Commerce Department suggests that home building is maintaining its recovery but might be starting to be restrained by higher mortgage rates.

Builders began work on houses and apartments at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 896,000 in July, the department said. That was up 6 percent from June, though below a recent peak of more than 1 million in March. Construction began on 26 percent more apartments but declined 2.2 percent for single-family houses.

The dip in single-family starts comes after other measures of the housing market have flattened or declined. It may signal that higher loan rates have begun to weigh on housing, which has otherwise steadily recovered since earlier last year.

Mortgage applications by potential homebuyers have fallen 15 percent since the end of April. Signed contracts to buy homes slipped in June after reaching a six-year high in May.

AOL’s Patch local news site to lay off up to 500

A US Airways plane (foreground) and an American Airlines plane are seen parked at the terminal at Washington’s Ronald Reagan National Airport. travel used to be only for the rich. In 1979 – the first year after deregulation – a roundtrip domestic ticket cost $590.49, when adjusted for inflation.

As new airlines started flying, prices fell dramatically. Mergers have reversed that trend.

The latest round of consolidation started in 2005, when America West bought US Airways out of bankruptcy, taking its name. Then Delta and Northwest merged in 2008, followed

by United and Continental, and Southwest and AirTran.

All of those easily won the blessing of antitrust regulators – the first two under President George W. Bush, the second pair under President Barack Obama.

Andy Brennan, an analyst with IBISWorld, said the government approved those deals to save the thenstruggling industry. Now that the airlines’ health has improved, regulators are more concerned about airfares.

“While there’s still a bit of turmoil and volatility in the economy, it’s much more stable than it was only a few years ago,” Brennan said.

The number of players in the European industry has shrunk as well, with the mergers of Air France and KLM, British Airways and Iberia, and Lufthansa with Swiss and Austrian.

Consolidation has made the airlines more stable, provided job security for thousands of employees, and rewarded Wall Street investors. Business travelers have benefited from more flight options and easier connections.

But families looking to go on vacation face higher fares and fewer airlines to choose from.

“It’s too late. It’s already a very consolidated industry,” said Savanthi Syth, an airline analyst with Raymond James. “I don’t know if you want to stop an industry from being profitable.”

In seeking to stop the AmericanUS Airways deal, the government contends that airlines already follow each other’s moves in setting prices and adding new fees.

They even bully each other out of offering sales.

NEW YORK – AOL Inc. is laying off up to half the workforce at its Patch local news sites and shuttering or consolidating roughly 150 of the 900 sites while looking for partners for others.

Up to 500 of Patch’s 1,000 employees will go in the layoffs, which started on Friday with 350 people getting pink slips. In all, the layoffs amount to about 9 percent of AOL’s total workforce of 5,500.

AOL Inc. CEO Tim Armstrong co-founded Patch, an ambitious experiment in local news meant to compete with newspapers, in 2007. AOL bought it in 2009 after Armstrong had taken over the helm of the New York-based Internet company.

Patch has a heavy concentration of sites in the Chicago suburbs, including several in McHenry County.

Patch ran into the same problems that newspapers already had discovered – that it’s expensive to cover local news.

Tuition isn’t only bill college students see

By PHILIP ELLIOTT The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Despite all the grumbling about tuition increases and student loan costs, other college expenses also are going up.

The price of housing and food trumps tuition costs for students who attend two- and four-year public universities in their home states, according to a College Board survey. Even with the lower interest rates on student loans that President Barack Obama signed into law, students are eyeing bills that are growing on just about every line.

The public two-year schools charged in-state students an average $3,131 last year, up almost 6 percent from the previous year. While the tuition increase was larger than at other types of schools, students at community colleges saw the smallest increase in room and board costs – a 1 percent increase to $7,419. Total charges for students to attend an in-state public two-year school: $10,550.

an in-state public school, such as a student from Tallahassee attending Florida State University.

When grants and scholarships are included, the average student pays $12,110 at such schools.

For students who choose to attend state schools outside their home state, the costs increase to $30,911. They pay the same $9,205 price tag for room and board, but the tuition rates are more expensive. The typical student who crossed state lines to attend a public college in 2012 paid $21,706 in tuition and fees after grants and scholarships – a 4 percent jump from the previous year.

Over the past five years, the tuition sticker price at public four-year colleges is up 27 percent beyond overall inflation.

Private schools Public four-year schools Tuition for students attending public fouryear schools in their state was an average $8,655 last year, a 5 percent jump from the previous year. They paid more than that – $9,205 – for housing and food. These schools, like other four-year schools, posted a 4 percent jump in housing costs.

Add in books and supplies, transportation and other costs, and the total reaches $17,860 to attend

On the surface, private four-year schools are the most costly colleges, with the average student’s sticker price coming in at $39,518 for all expenses. Tuition and fees were $29,056 last year – another 4 percent jump – while room and board ran to $10,462. After grants and scholarships, the average student paid $23,840 to attend schools such as Yale or Stanford.

The tuition at private schools was up 13 percent beyond overall inflation over the past five years adjusted for inflation.

Harvard chamber hosts Kelly Miller Circus

• COSTS Continued from page E1 For instance, on April 18, United Airlines increased its fee for changing a reservation from $150 to $200. Like lemmings, American, Delta Air Lines and US Airways all matched the higher fee within two weeks. Even JetBlue Airways – which has largely resisted fees – increased its change fee by 50 percent.

In the past, passengers might have balked. Today, they have no choice but to pay because of fewer options.

The airlines instituted many of the fees in 2008, when the price of fuel spiked 46 percent and the Great Recession sharply curtailed travel. Fuel prices are slightly lower today and travelers have returned to the skies. But airlines rely even more heavily on fees as a source of revenue, while increasingly catering to the highest-paying customers.

Airlines have taken their newfound profits and reinvested in new airplanes. That has led to some improvements for passengers, most notably individual TV screens and WiFi. But those features really just distract fliers from the realities of modern air travel: no pillows or blankets, less legroom and no hot meals.

At the same time, those fare wars that once allowed families to sneak away for a cheap vacation are quickly disappearing.

To deter aggressive discounting, the airlines have set up mutually assured destruction mechanisms known as “cross-market initiatives.” If one airline discounts fares on a route that is highly-profitable for another airline, the affected competitor often responds with discounts in another market that hurts the first airline.

In the fall of 2009, US Airways lowered fares to Philadelphia on flights from Detroit, an extremely profitable hub for Delta. In turn, Delta lowered its fares between Washington D.C. and Boston, one of the more-profitable routes for US Airways. The message was heard and US Airways quickly bailed on its Detroit sale.

The big airlines are all now playing by the same rulebook: They are keeping planes full, cutting unprofitable flights to small towns and not encroaching on the other guys’ territory.

And all of this has occurred while American and US Airways were separate companies.

Come see what’s under the big top.

Companies halt operations in Egypt ary safety measure to ensure employees would not be exposed to risks traveling to and from work,” Daniel Frykholm, a spokesman for Swedish appliance maker Electrolux, said in an email. The company, which has about 6,700 workers in Egypt, asked employees to stay home Wednesday afternoon and Thursday.

Friday and Saturday are the Egyptian weekend, and the company will decide Saturday evening if it’s safe enough to resume normal operations, Frykholm said.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT – A number of international companies have suspended operations in Egypt as three days of violent street battles make the streets of Cairo unsafe.

General Motors Co., Electrolux AB, Royal Dutch Shell PLC, Toyota Motor Corp., Suzuki Motor Corp., BASF SE and others shut down facilities and told thousands of workers to stay at home during unrest that has left about 700 people dead since Wednesday.

“This was a precaution-

its offices Thursday. They will remain shuttered Friday and Saturday. The company also restricted employee travel as the violence continued and said it was monitoring the situation.

General Motors’ Egyptian operations will remain shut indefinitely, including a plant in the Cairo suburb of 6th October City where it makes cars, light trucks and minibuses. The auto giant has about 1,400 workers in Egypt, where in 1983 it became the first private automaker to establish operations in the country.

NEW YORK – Stocks fell Friday, closing out what was the worst week of the year for the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

The market was dragged lower by a weak performance from retailers and companies sensitive to higher interest rates. Homebuilders and banking stocks were among the best performers.

Stocks had a decent start in the first half of the week, but investors were hit hard in the last three days. Overall, the Dow retreated 2.2 percent for the week, its worst for 2013. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index lost 2.1 percent for the week, its secondworst performance of the year.

The possibility of a cutback in the Federal Reserve’s massive bond-buying program in September has roiled the bond market in the last couple of weeks, which in turn spilled over into the stock market.

The yield on the benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.83 percent, its highest level since July 2011. A week ago, the yield was 2.58 percent.

In the bond market, yields rise as bond prices fall.

“When yields are going up like this, that’s scary for most equity investors,” said Brian Reynolds, chief market strategist at Rosenblatt Securities.

On Friday, the S&P 500

lost 5.49 points, or 0.33 percent, to 1,655.83. The Dow fell 30.72 points, or 0.2 percent, to 15,081.47 and the Nasdaq composite lost 3.34 points, or 0.1 percent, to 3,602.78.

Shares of utilities and telecommunications companies, which typically perform poorly in a higher interest-rate environment, closed broadly lower. New York-based utility Consolidated Edison Inc. fell 75 cents, or 1.3 percent, to $56.64 while California’s PG&E was down 71 cents, or 1.6 percent, to $42.64. Dow components Verizon Communications Inc. and AT&T Inc. fell 1.7 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively.

Retailers continued their multi-day selloff. Nordstrom Inc. gave a bleak sales outlook late Thursday that echoed similar forecasts from WalMart Stores Inc. and Macy’s Inc. earlier this week. The outlooks have raised worries that U.S. shoppers might be pulling back on spending.

Nordstrom’s stock fell $2.90, or 4.9 percent, to $56.43, making it the biggest decliner in the S&P 500.

The retail industry is a closely-watched part of the U.S. economy as consumer spending makes up roughly 70 percent of economic activity.

The disappointing outlooks are worrisome because they take into account the back-toschool shopping season, typically the second-biggest shopping period for U.S. retailers.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

Kate Adie OBE, an English journalist who was known for reporting from war zones for the BBC, said, “If I’m in danger, then it’s usually my fault and it’s up to me to get myself out of it. I am not in it just to get an adrenaline rush.”

At the bridge table, adrenaline rushes can make players rush, when they should be stopping to look for potential dangers.

In this deal, for example, how should South plan the play in six spades after West leads the heart two? Also, how would you have bid with that North hand after partner opened two no-trump?

In this auction, North transferred into spades, then bid the contract he hoped his partner could make. A modern super-scientist would have jumped to ive diamonds over three spades, Exclusion Roman Key Card Blackwood.

It would have asked South for key cards excluding the diamond ace.

Many players would win the irst trick and immediately play a trump. However, East would win with his ace and return a heart for his partner to ruff and defeat the contract.

Slightly unlucky, it is true.

And many Souths would then ask their partners why they had not bid six no-trump, which is impregnable. But these declarers should have paused for thought when the dummy came down. Especially given that South can see every heart honor, the opening lead has all the aura of a singleton. To avoid going down, declarer should take the irst trick in his hand and discard dummy’s remaining hearts on the diamond ace and king. Then it is safe to draw trumps.
