In Seneca, she lined up among a group of mainly muscle-bound men and completed a grueling 12mile and 22-obstacle event called the Tough Mudder.

It was the hardest thing she’s ever done, she said – including giving birth. But for Edwards, a Cary resident and principal of Liberty Elementary in Carpentersville, finishing the race meant proving something not only to herself but also to her 10-year-old daughter, Maddy.

The McHenry County Workforce Network is working to address a surprising issue in a down economy: Area manufacturers are unable to find qualified workers.

With recent local cuts and closings in the manufacturing world, the county has no shortage of former factory employees. But the issue is a gap in skills that, left unaddressed, will get only worse as the most skilled laborers at manufacturing plants age, McHenry County Workforce Network Director Julie Courtney said.

To address the issue, the network has been granted about $350,000 to help train prospective manufacturing employees by the summer of 2015. In all, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, Will and McHenry counties were granted $2 million toward the effort.

Uninsured? It’s Obamacare time

By CARLA K. JOHNSON

Dispute

The Associated Press

Though signed into law in March 2010, the controversy over Obamacare has not abated. House Republicans passed a stopgap funding bill that would shut down the government unless funding is stripped from the health law they call Obamacare.

Senate Democratic leaders have vowed to protect the law.

CHICAGO – For many Illinois residents, it’s time to take a deep breath and get ready to shop for health insurance.

President Barack Obama’s health care law requires nearly every American to have insurance starting in 2014. To make shopping for coverage easier, a new online marketplace is set to open Oct. 1.

The build-up to next week’s launch in Illinois has been fraught with uncertainty as federal and state officials keep tight control of information. They haven’t revealed the prices of the insurance plans to be offered on the new marketplace, perhaps to avoid tipping off insurance carriers who are opting not to participate this time.

Consumers still don’t know which companies will offer

The art of painting giant still lifes In my spare time I love to paint.

I especially enjoy painting large, outdoor still lifes: ranches, bungalows and split-levels. Nope, I’m not an artist, I’m a house painter.

I got my start in the painting trade when I became a schoolteacher. As soon as summer vacation started, I put down my chalkboard eraser and picked up a paintbrush. It was a natural transition because both implements required similar hand motions.

During my first few summers, I worked for other painters so I could learn the trade. It was with those master still lifers that I honed my skills with the Mr. Handyman Deluxe Paint Scraper and the Purdy handcrafted nylon/polyester blend 3-inch sashstyle paintbrush.

I also learned the difference between oil and latex paint, as well as how to clean paint from someone’s roof when you accidentally spill a 5-gallon bucket of paint on it. (Hint: It has to do with getting a garden hose working really fast, an angry boss and a whole lot of screaming). But after having committed every possible mistake, I was ready to create my own painting business.

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava But first I needed a name and a slogan. I really wanted to call my business “Paintzilla … King of the Painters!” My wife felt that was a bit grandiose and childish. Geesh, what is so childish about a painter created by the radiation of a nuclear detonation who just happens to be partially reptilian and can project powerful eyebeams? That practically screams, “Let him paint whatever he wants!”

But, sad to say, “Paintzilla” never happened. Instead I became “Mr. P’s Painting.” No indestructible scale-like skin, no underwater breathing, no electric bite … just some guy with a ladder and some paintbrushes. Talk about childish ingenuousness. I could almost hear the kids cry out, “Mommy the painter’s here, but he has no precognition or fireballs.”

So there I was, Mr. P’s Painting, ready to pack up my green 1975 Ford Pinto station wagon and cruise the neighborhood looking for people who

were willing to take a chance on a rookie still life domicile artiste.

The first job I landed, however, revealed a serious flaw in my estimating ability. The customer was a little old lady who lived alone in rather large, tattered stucco house. This soft-spoken, kindly woman followed me around the outside of the house as I made my estimate, slowly wobbling along with the use of a well-worn cane.

When we had gone full circle around the house, it was time for me to calculate the price. It would include multiple repairs to the stucco, lots of caulking and a great deal of scraping, besides the priming and painting.

As I totaled up the estimate, I looked down at the poor old lady. She looked up at me, her sad eyes brimming with tears, seemingly begging me for mercy. I made a quick adjustment of the final price. It would maybe cover the price of the material.

“Well, ma’am, I can do it for this,” I said as I showed her the price.

She seemed to tremble for a moment, and then asked, “Does that price include my two-car garage?”

“The garage? Um … yes ma’am,” I

squeaked.

“And the metal rails on the front and back porches?”

“Ahhh … sure, I could do that ma’am.”

“And the mailbox with its little red flag?”

“Of course, ma’am,” I gulped.

“And could you give me the widow’s discount?”

“I’m figuring it in as we speak, ma’am.”

And so went my first job. It took me three weeks. I lost about $100 in materials and made nothing for my labor.

Sure, Paintzilla would have probably made big bucks on the job, but I was glad that in this case I had the bigger heart. Mind you, though, having atomic breath would have come in handy.

• Michael Penkava is a retired teacher who taught for 35 years at West Elementary School in Crystal Lake. The next year the same lady asked him to paint the inside of her home.

Report: Environmental chemicals a pregnancy risk The Associated Press WASHINGTON – From mercury to pesticides, Americans are exposed daily to environmental chemicals that could harm reproductive health, the nation’s largest groups of obstetricians and fertility specialists said Monday.

The report urges doctors to push for stricter environmental policies to better identify and reduce exposure to chemicals that prove truly risky.

But it’s likely to scare preg-

nant women in the meantime.

That’s because during the first prenatal visit, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists wants doctors to ask mothers-to-be about their exposure to different chemicals. They’re also supposed to teach women how to avoid some considered most worrisome during pregnancy.

“What we’re trying to get is the balance between awareness and alarmist,” said Dr. Jeanne Conry, president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

Specialists with ACOG

and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine examined research about industrial chemicals and pollutants that people can absorb from the air, water, food and everyday products. Few chemicals hit the market with good information about safe levels – something the groups hope to change. But certain chemicals are linked to infertility, miscarriages, birth defects and other problems, the committee said.

Risks are greatest for women with high on-the-job exposure. So doctors should ask

about workplaces during that first prenatal visit, the committee advised.

But the report also cited research suggesting virtually every pregnant woman is exposed to at least 43 different chemicals. It’s unclear how many matter, but some can reach the fetus. For example, mercury pollution builds up in certain fish, and when eaten by a mother-to-be, can damage her unborn baby’s developing brain. Prenatal exposure to certain pesticides can increase the risk of childhood cancer, the report found.

Rep. Davis formally kicks off re-election bid

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis on Monday formally kicked off a re-election campaign expected to be nearly as tough as his first run for the job, with a Republican challenger standing between him and an appearance on the November 2014 ballot.

The Taylorville Republican, who narrowly defeated Democrat David Gill last fall, is facing a primary challenge from Erika Harold, an Urbana attorney and former Miss America in the 13th Congressional District, which stretches from Champaign southwest to the Missouri border near St. Louis.

Davis is considerably bet-

ter funded than Harold at this point in the campaign, but the prospect of having a primary challenger with moderate name recognition means that he’ll be forced to utilize precious resources that otherwise could have stockpiled for the general election race deemed one of the nation’s top congressional contests.

Beyond the primary, there are three Democrats vying to unseat Davis. They include social policy analyst David Green, physicist George Gollin and retired judge Ann Callis. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has made it clear that the seat is a top target in its drive to reclaim the House in 2014.

Speaking Sunday at an Illinois Democratic Party

event, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin predicted trouble for Davis in the general election because of his vote to defund the Affordable Care Act. “If there was anyone who thought Congressman Rodney Davis was going to be moderate or independent in his approach, there’s not much evidence to convict him,” Durbin said. He described the 13th District as a “pretty evenly divided district.”

On Monday, Davis called Durbin “dead wrong.”

“An overwhelming majority of American do not agree with Obamacare,” he said.

Davis started the day in Urbana Monday before traveling to Bloomington, Decatur, Springfield and Edwardsville.

Flanked by his wife, Shannon, and local Republican officials in Springfield, it was clear the first-term Republican from Taylorville will rely on his hometown roots in the 2014 campaign as he did in the 2012 race.

“I wouldn’t be standing here without the guidance you have given me over the years,” Davis said at a stop at the Sangamon County farm bureau, reminiscing about working in his parents’ local restaurant, attending events in Springfield, working for Congressman John Shimkus’ office.

Davis and Harold are closely aligned on a majority of issues, with the exception of the internet sales tax, which she opposes and he supports.

U.S. Border Patrol agent Jerry Conlin looks out June 13 over Tijuana, Mexico, along the old border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, where it ends at the base of a hill in San Diego. After dropping during the recession, the number of immigrants crossing the border illegally into the U.S. appears to be on the rise again, according to a report released Monday.

New signs of rising illegal immigration into the U.S.

By HOPE YEN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The number of immigrants crossing the border illegally into the U.S. appears to be on the rise again after dropping during the recession.

The total number of immigrants living in this country unlawfully edged up from 11.3 million in 2009 to 11.7 million last year, with those from countries other than Mexico at an apparent all-time high, according to a report released Monday by the Pew Research Center’s Hispanic Trends Project.

The change is within the margin of error, and there will be a more precise census measure released later this year.

Still, based in part on other factors such as increased U.S. border apprehensions, the sharp decline in illegal immigration from 2007-2009 has clearly bottomed out, with signs the numbers are now rising, Pew said.

Pew said that among the six states with the largest numbers of immigrants here illegally, only Texas had a consistent increase in illegal immigration from 2007 to 2011, due in part to its stronger economy. Its number was unchanged from 2011 to 2012.

Two states – Florida and New Jersey – had an initial drop but then increases during the same 2007-2011 period. Three states – California, Illinois and New York – showed only declines.

“As a whole, with the recession ending, the decrease in illegal immigration has stopped,” said Jeffrey Passel, a senior demographer at Pew. Passel noted that historically the level of illegal immigration has been closely tied to the strength of the U.S. economy and availability of jobs. Since 2009, the average U.S. unemployment rate has dropped from 9.3 percent to 8.1 percent last year, with signs of strength in the construction industry, which yields jobs generally attractive to newly arrived Latino immigrants.

The Pew analysis is based on census data through March 2012. Because the Census Bureau does not ask people about their immigration status, the estimate on illegal immigrants is derived largely by subtracting the estimated legal immigrant population from the total foreign-born population. It is a method that has been used by the government and Pew for many years and is generally accepted.

Analysts said it was hard to

predict whether immigrants in the country illegally could eventually exceed the record total of 12.2 million in 2007.

Continued modest increases are possible, but another big surge like the one seen in the late 1990s and early 2000s isn’t likely, due in part to demographic factors such as Mexico’s aging workforce.

“Labor demand in the U.S. is still slack and wages are eroding, whereas there are jobs in Mexico and wages are slowly rising as labor force growth there decelerates,” said Douglas Massey, a professor of sociology and public affairs at Princeton University who is co-director of the Mexican Migration Project. “The pressures for mass migration are diminishing for now, but who knows what kind of disasters lie ahead?”

Analyses of census data from the U.S. and Mexican governments show that the number of immigrants here illegally peaked at 12.2 million in 2007, during the U.S. housing boom, and before the recession hit. It then dropped roughly 7 percent to 11.3 million in 2009, the first two-year decline in two decades, due to the weak U.S. economy which shrank construction and service-sector jobs.

Drug trial set for former Ill. judge The ASSOCIATED PRESS EAST ST. LOUIS – A former southwestern Illinois judge facing federal heroin and weapons charges related to a courthouse scandal may offer a guilty plea before his December trial, his attorney said Monday.

Michael Cook, 43, pleaded not guilty in May, alleging he possessed heroin and had a gun while illegally using controlled substances.

But during a pretrial hearing Monday in U.S. District Court in East St. Louis, one of Cook’s attorneys, Bruce Lucco, told U.S. District Judge Joe McDade that the defense was unsure whether Cook would plead guilty or go to trial

starting on Dec. 9.

Cook did not speak during the hearing, other than to identify himself to McDade, a federal judge from Springfield who was appointed to oversee the case after his counterparts in southern Illinois recused themselves. Cook, who is free on bond, declined to comment after the hearing.

Authorities have said that Cook was with former longtime St. Clair County prosecutor and newly appointed associate judge Joe Christ in March when Christ died of a cocaine overdose at the Cook family’s western Illinois hunting cabin. Cook has not been charged in the death of Christ, a 49-year-old father of six.

Cook later resigned his

judgeship, attended drug rehab in Minnesota and agreed to have his law license suspended.

As part of the investigation, federal authorities also snared a St. Clair County probation officer who an FBI agent said admitted providing cocaine to Cook and Christ on several occasions, including on the eve of the judges’ hunting trip. James Fogarty has pleaded not guilty to drug and weapons charges and is scheduled for trial in November.

Cook became an associate circuit judge in 2007 and was appointed a circuit judge in 2010, then won a six-year term later that year. After his resignation, all of his pending cases were reassigned.

CHICAGO – Authorities on Monday night charged two men in connection with a shooting last week at a Chicago park that injured 13 people, including a 3-yearold boy.

Officials said 21-year-old Bryon Champ and 20-yearold Kewane Gatewood were charged in the shooting at Cornell Square Park, which is located on Chicago’s southwest side.

Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said that while the two played significant roles in the shooting, neither is believed to have pulled the trigger.

McCarthy said detectives are continuing the investigation.

Authorities say as many as three people opened fire Thursday on a basket-

ball court in the Back of the Yards neighborhood.

Among those injured were 3-year-old Deonta Howard, who is recovering from surgery after being shot near an ear, along with two teenagers.

Earlier Monday, police had said they were interviewing “several people of interest” in connection with the shooting and McCarthy sounded confident about the case during a graduation ceremony for new officers.

“We are making great strides,” McCarthy said then. “There’s no doubt in my mind we’re going to close this case quickly.”

The shooting returned Chicago’s gun violence problem to the nation’s consciousness.

The assailants fired more than a dozen rounds from an assault-style rifle, police have said. They believe the

shooting was gang-related, as several gang members were injured, although it’s not yet clear who the intended target was.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel rode along with police officers late Sunday in particularly violent city neighborhoods.

Emanuel has made curbing violence a high priority, allowing the police department to spend millions of dollars in overtime to saturate high-crime areas with hundreds of additional officers.

Through Sept. 15, police say they’ve recorded 306 murders and 1,402 shooting incidents this year.

That’s down 20 and 22 percent, respectively, from the same period in 2012.

Police say overall violent crime is down about 15 percent, according to new figures released Monday.

The two had been strangled.

Their deaths have been ruled homicides following autopsies on Sunday. Authorities say the bodies were found late Saturday inside a burning PT Cruiser. It was parked in a suburban Cook County forest preserve in Palos Heights.

But Tsarnaev’s lawyers objected to the timetable and asked a judge for more time to make their case against the death penalty.

U.S. edges closer to high-level talks with Iran

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press NEW YORK – The Obama administration edged close to direct, high-level talks with Iran’s new government on Monday, with Secretary of State John Kerry slated to meet his Iranian counterpart this week and the White House weighing the risks and rewards of an encounter between President Barack Obama and Iran’s president, Hasan Rouhani.

An Obama-Rouhani exchange on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly would mark the first meeting at that high level for the two nations in more than 30 years. Such

talks could signal a turning point in U.S.-Iranian relations – but also could be seen as a premature endorsement for a new Iranian government that has yet to answer key questions about the future of its disputed nuclear program.

Obama advisers said no meeting was scheduled.

But they added that the U.S. planned to take advantage of diplomatic opportunities while in New York and indicated they were not leaving a possible encounter between Obama and Rouhani to chance.

“I don’t think that anything would happen by happenstance on a relationship and an issue that is this important,” Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy

national security adviser, told reporters traveling with the president to New York.

The election of Rouhani, a moderate cleric, has led to speculation about possible progress on Iran’s nuclear impasse with the U.S. Particularly intrigu- President ing to Ameri- Barack can officials are Obama Rouhani’s assertions that his government has “complete authority” in nuclear negotiations.

On Twitter, the U.S.-educated Zarif called his meeting with Ashton “positive.”

The prospect of bilateral talks between Kerry and Zarif did little to tamp down speculation about a meeting between the U.S. and Iranian presidents, who arrived in New York on Monday. The most obvious opportunity for a direct exchange appears to be at a U.N. leaders’ lunch both are scheduled to attend Tuesday.

Bathroom wipes blamed for clogs

By CAROLYN THOMPSON The Associated Press

The ASSOCIATED PRESS DAMASCUS, Syria – President Bashar Assad pledged in an interview broadcast Monday to honor an agreement to surrender Syria’s stockpile of chemical weapons, but he said that rebels might try to block international arms inspectors from doing their work.

As battles continued across Syria, new Associated Press video of an attack Sunday night showed the regime’s helicopters dropping barrel bombs on opposition-held areas, creating chaotic scenes of destruction.

In a sign of worsening infighting among the rebels, a top al-Qaida commander in Syria was killed in an ambush by rival, Western-backed group – an assassination sure to raise tensions among factions seeking to topple the regime.

Assad’s comments came as world leaders gathered in New York for the annual U.N. General Assembly, where the use of chemical weapons in Syria’s civil war was high on the agenda.

The Syrian leader told Chinese state TV that Damascus is dedicated to implementing the agreement reached between Russia and the U.S. to surrender its chemical weapons to international control.

Syria’s stockpile, he said, is “in safe areas and locations and under the full control of the Syrian Arab Army.”

Assad cautioned, however, that the rebels might block inspectors from reaching some of the locations, in order to frame the government.

“I’m referring to places where gunmen exist. Those gunmen might want to stop the experts’ arrival,” Assad told CCTV in the interview, which was shot Sunday in Damascus and broadcast Monday.

Under the agreement brokered Sept. 14 in Geneva, inspectors are to be in Syria by November and all components of the chemical weapons program are to be removed from the country or destroyed by the middle of next year.

The revelations of Syria’s chemical weapons arsenal became public after an Aug. 21 attack near Damascus that a U.N. report found included the use of the nerve agent sarin.

Hundreds of people died in the attack that brought Washington to the brink of military intervention before the accord was struck between the U.S. and Russia.

the U.S. is seeking in order to ease the sanctions, including curbing uranium enrichment and shutting down the underground Fordo nuclear facility.

State Department officials said Kerry would seek to answer that question on Thursday when new Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif joins nuclear talks between the U.S. and five other world powers. Zarif’s participation, which was announced Monday, sets up the first meeting in six years between an American secretary of state and an Iranian foreign minister, though it’s unclear whether the two men will break off from the group and hold separate one-on-one talks.

Heavy smoke rises Monday from the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya. Multiple large blasts have rocked the mall where a hostage siege is in its third day.

Vice President: Kenya mall siege in final stage The ASSOCIATED PRESS NAIROBI, Kenya – Kenyan security forces were in the final stages of flushing out Islamic extremist terrorists from a besieged shopping mall, the vice president said late Monday, two days after the upscale mall was seized by members of a Somali group linked to al-Qaida.

It is unlikely that any more hostages remained inside Westgate Mall, said another official.

But similar claims of a quick resolution were made

by Kenyan officials on Sunday and the siege has continued for another day. It is not possible to independently verify their assertions.

Three attackers were killed in the fighting Monday, officials said, and more than 10 suspects arrested.

Eleven Kenyan soldiers were wounded in the running gun battles. By evening, Kenyan security officials claimed the upper hand.

“Taken control of all the floors. We’re not here to feed the attackers with pastries but to finish and punish them,” Police Inspector General David Kimaiyo said on Twitter.

Kenya’s interior minister said the evacuation of hostages “has gone very, very well” and that Kenyan officials are “very certain” that there are few if any hostages left in the building.

Vice President William Ruto landed in Kenya late Monday after International Criminal Court officials in The Hague gave him permission to return to Kenya.

Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenku revised the death toll to 62. Kenyan officials earlier said 59 people have died since the siege on Westgate Mall began on Saturday, while the Red Cross had put the toll at 68, then in a tweet lowered it to 62, saying some bodies had been counted twice.

Earlier witness reports had indicated that a woman was among the estimated 10 to 15 attackers. Lenku said that instead some male attackers had dressed up like women.

Dark plumes of smoke rose from the mall for more than an hour Monday afternoon after four large explosions rocked the upscale Westlands neighborhood.

A person with knowledge of the rescue operation told The Associated Press that the smoke was rising up and

out of a large skylight inside the mall’s main department and grocery store, Nakumatt, where goods like mattresses may have been lit on fire.

The four explosions were followed by volleys of gunfire, then a thick, dark column of smoke that burned for roughly 90 minutes. Military and police helicopters and one plane circled over the Nairobi mall, giving the upscale neighborhood the feel of a war zone.

Kenyan forces were in charge of all floors inside the mall, though terrorists could still be hiding inside, said Kenya Chief of Defense forces Gen. Julius Karangi.

Fighters from an array of nations participated in the attack claimed by al-Shabab, said Karangi.

“We have an idea who these people are and they are clearly a multinational collection from all over the world,” he said.

BEMUS POINT, N.Y. – Increasingly popular bathroom wipes – pre-moistened towelettes that are often advertised as flushable – are being blamed for creating clogs and backups in sewer systems around the nation.

Wastewater authorities say wipes may go down the toilet, but even many labeled flushable aren’t breaking down as they course through the sewer system. That’s costing some municipalities millions of dollars to dispatch crews to unclog pipes and pumps and to replace and upgrade machinery.

The problem got so bad in this western New York community this summer that sewer officials set up traps – basket strainers in sections of pipe leading to an oft-clogged pump – to figure out which households the wipes were coming from.

They mailed letters and then pleaded in person for residents to stop flushing them.

“We could walk right up, knock on the door and say, ‘Listen, this problem is coming right from your house,’” said Tom Walsh, senior project coordinator at South & Center Chautauqua Lake Sewer Districts, which was dispatching crews at least once a week to clear a grinder pump that would seize up trying to shred the fibrous wipes.

The National Association of Clean Water Agencies, which represents 300 wastewater agencies, says it has been hearing complaints

about wipes from sewer systems big and small for about the past four years.

That roughly coincides with the ramped-up marketing of the “flushable cleansing cloths” as a cleaner, fresher option than dry toilet paper alone. A trade group says wipes are a $6 billion-ayear industry, with sales of consumer wipes increasing nearly 5 percent a year since 2007 and expected to grow at a rate of 6 percent annually for the next five years.

One popular brand, Cottonelle, has a campaign called “Let’s talk about your bum” and ads showing people trying to wash their hair with no water. It ends with the tagline: “You can’t clean your hair without water, so why clean your bum that way?”

Manufacturers insist wipes labeled flushable aren’t the problem, pointing instead to baby and other cleaning wipes marked as nonflushable that are often being used by adults.

“My team regularly goes sewer diving” to analyze what’s causing problems, said Trina McCormick, a senior manager at Kimberly-Clark Corp., maker of Cottonelle. “We’ve seen the majority, 90 percent in fact, are items that are not supposed to be flushed, like paper towels, feminine products or baby wipes.”

Wastewater officials agree that wipes, many of which are made from plastic, aren’t the only culprits but say their problems have escalated with the wipes market.

Brotherhood ban opens way to wider crackdown

By MAGGIE MICHAEL The Associated Press CAIRO – An Egyptian court Monday ordered the banning of the Muslim Brotherhood and the confiscation of its assets, opening the door for authorities to dramatically accelerate a crackdown on the extensive network of schools, hospitals, charities and other social institutions that was the foundation of the group’s political power.

Security forces have already been moving against the Brotherhood’s social networks, raiding schools and hospitals run by the group since the military’s July 3 ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.

The sweep points to the ambitions of Egypt’s new leaders to go beyond the arrests of top Brotherhood figures to strike a long-term, even mortal, blow to the group by hitting the pillars of its grassroots organization. Doing so could cripple the group’s political prospects far into the future.

“The plan is to drain the

stage of their lives,” he said.

Hospitals send the message that “we are offering good and cheap services, and we are the good Muslims.”

In election seasons, Brotherhood hospitals, joined by candidates, would send medical convoys offering free care to villages where state services are absent. The past two years, the Brotherhood’s political party, the Freedom and Justice Party, held markets selling reduced-price food and clothes.

Outlawed for most of 85year existence – with successive regimes alternating between repression and tolerance – the Brotherhood built its networks largely underground. That made it difficult for authorities to track, since many institutions were registered under individuals’ names.

After Mubarak’s ouster, the group emerged to work openly, opening a formal headquarters and forming a political party. Ironically, that made parts of its structure more visible.

sources of funding, break the joints of the group, and the dismantle podiums from which they deliver their message,” said one senior security official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss security agencies’ intentions.

Blurring its political and religious nature, the Brotherhood vaulted to election dominance in large part because of its multiple business interests that provide funding, as well as schools, mosques and powerful social institutions providing cheap medical care and services to millions of impoverished Egyptians. As a result, after the 2011 ouster of autocrat Hosni Mubarak, the Brotherhood swept parliament elections and lifted Morsi into office as the country’s first freely elected leader.

“The hospitals and schools are among the most powerful tools to garner support, which would be translated into votes,” said Ahmed Ban, a researcher and former Brotherhood member. Schools give the group “a large pool to recruit new cadres at a very

About 1.8M Ill. residents are uninsured Continued from page A1 health coverage and whether the insurance policies will offer a wide or narrow choice of hospitals and doctors. Outreach workers who will help people navigate the new marketplace are still wrapping up their training.

The pricing information may be made public before Oct. 1 and there may be some announcement of an Illinois website that will be the first stop for consumers. For now, that’s still a mystery along with the $35 million ad campaign that Illinois has commissioned to promote the marketplace.

Though signed into law

by Obama in March 2010, the controversy over the law has not abated. In Washington, House Republicans passed a stopgap funding bill that would shut down the government unless funding is stripped from the health law they call “Obamacare” and consider big government.

Senate Democratic leaders have vowed to protect the law, but it’s likely the headlines are adding to consumer confusion.

Much work is left to demystify the Affordable Care Act and how it will affect Illinois residents. Here is some of what you need to know:

Q. How many people are uninsured in Illinois?

A. About 1.8 million Illinois residents are uninsured, about 15 percent of the population.

Q. Who should shop for health insurance on the new online marketplace?

A. The marketplace is meant for people who can’t afford health insurance right now and for people who want to comparison shop for insurance. The website will tell you whether you qualify for new federal tax credits to help pay the cost of coverage. It also will tell you whether you’re eligible for free care through Medicaid or if your children are eligible for the Children’s Health Insurance Program.

Q. Who is left out?

A. About 281,000 people in Illinois who are in the United States illegally aren’t eligible for help under the new health law.

Q. If I already have affordable health insurance through my job, why should I care?

A. If more people get insurance, fewer medical costs will be shifted onto people with good health insurance by hospitals and other providers that end up providing free care to the uninsured.

Q. What’s the big deal about Oct. 1?

A. It’s the first day of the open enrollment period for new health insurance options under the health law.

Consumers have until Dec. 15 to sign up if they want coverage to start Jan. 1. After that, you can still enroll through the end of March to avoid penalties for 2014.

The law requires almost everyone to have health insur-

Q. Will insurance coverage cost more or less than what’s available today?

A. That’s hard to say because Illinois hasn’t published the prices yet. We do know that the law requires certain benefits, so health plans will be more compre-

residents already have coverage through their jobs and their employers pay a portion of their premiums.

They don’t have to buy new insurance. In fact, if your insurance is affordable and meets certain federal criteria, you won’t qualify for tax credits on the marketplace.

People already insured under Medicare or Medicaid don’t have to do anything new. Veterans who are enrolled in Veterans Affairs health care don’t have to buy additional insurance.

U.S. citizens living abroad aren’t required to get coverage.

Q. Where can I get information and help?

A. County health departments, community health centers and libraries can answer questions and help you get started. Many community organizations have trained outreach counselors who can walk you through the enrollment process. Insurance agents and brokers also can help.

The federal government has a call center taking questions at 800-318-2596.

Getting kids to eat healthy can be a struggle.

McHenry County entities have programs to curb obesity • CHOICES Continued from page A1 shared by many who work on a grander scale to try to better the health of American children: de-emphasize weight loss and instead focus on the daily decisions that affect a child’s overall fitness.

Replace the fried stuff with veggies.

Skip the soda. Limit time spent in front of the TV. Walk when possible.

Experts offer solutions to the childhood obesity epidemic as varied as the factors that caused it.

In the spring, Amanda and Maddy went through an eight-week Centegra program called Kids in Motion.

While it’s open to any interested families, the program’s directors say it provides the type of education needed to address the country’s growing childhood obesity problem.

In simplest terms, a child with excess body fat is considered overweight or obese. Doctors take several factors into consideration – including weight, age, height and gender – to determine whether a child fits into one of those categories. A child well above the normal weight for his or her age and height is considered obese, according to the Mayo Clinic.

A May 2010 report from the White House Task Force on Childhood Obesity found that nearly one in every three children ages 2 to 19 is overweight or obese. The task force’s action plan is to reduce the childhood obesity rate to 5 percent by 2030, the same rate before it began to rise in the late 1970s.

It’s attempted to do so through a variety of ways, including changing the familiar food group pyramid to the MyPlate icon, intended to remind people to eat healthy. It illustrates the five food groups using a familiar visual – a place setting.

In August, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a first sign of potential progress, a study that showed that

from 2008-2011 nationwide there was a decrease in the obesity rate for preschool children from low-income families. Nineteen states/territories showed decreases, while 20 others – including Illinois – experienced no significant change. The rates rose in three states.

Beverly Henry, an associate professor of nutrition and dietetics at Northern Illinois University, called that report encouraging and significant but said awareness of making healthy choices needs to continue.

“It’s not time to stop,” she said.

An evolving approach While Henry is optimistic about the effect that awareness campaigns have had on establishing childhood obesity as a national topic, she’s not willing to say the right measures have been taken yet to point the graph downward.

She said efforts to this point have been scattered.

In McHenry County, efforts have ramped up only in the past three to five years, particularly among school districts.

The evolution is seen in the way Teresa Wolf’s job has changed in her seven years with Crystal Lake’s District 47.

Hired as a science specialist – a title she maintains today – Wolf’s duties have shifted during the past few years. Her current area of emphasis is heading the district’s efforts to curb childhood obesity.

Wolf oversees the implementation of CATCH into District 47 schools. The program – in seven of the district’s schools with an aim to be in all 12 – represents a collaboration between the district, the McHenry County Health Department and Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital.

CATCH, or Coordinated Approach To Child Health, seeks to boost school education on healthy eating and exercise habits and reform physical activities and cafeteria offerings.

Those reforms are based mainly on simple ideas, said Julie Mayer, who coordinates Advocate Good

Shepherd’s involvement in the program.

For instance, under traditional rules of the gym class-favorite dodgeball, a player that gets hit sits out until a new game begins. That wouldn’t fly under the CATCH rules.

“They have some other way of making sure you’re staying active,” she said.

‘It’s all baby steps’ The McHenry County Department of Health uses federal grant money to help schools get CATCH running – which costs about $3,500 per school, health promotion coordinator Meaghan Haak said.

The department also provides free training.

Wolf said making changes to health standards can feel like a tug of war, a fight to slowly bring the flag toward the side of fitness while other factors – among them, the complaints of students – pull at the other side.

“When we made some of our lunch menu changes, we had a drop in our lunch counts because the kids liked the old choices and didn’t want [the] healthier version,” Wolf said. “So I think anything with school wellness, it’s all baby steps.”

Many experts view changes in the school as the most effective way to stop growing childhood obesity stats, reasoning that it’s the only opportunity to reach nearly all children.

So far, the McHenry County Department of Health has helped 26 schools get CATCH running, including those in District 47, Woodstock District 200, McHenry District 15, Harvard District 50, Marengo District 165 and Harrison District 36. Algonquin schools in District 300 also carry the program.

“We would love to see the CATCH program in every school in McHenry County,” Haak said.

But efforts by school districts reach beyond CATCH. Menu changes are encouraged by a U.S. Agriculture Department program called the HealthierUS

School Challenge. Under that program – which requires an application for recognition – schools that meet menu requirements are awarded based on what percentage of children order school lunches.

Every Woodstock District 200 school, Husmann Elementary School in Crystal Lake and a few McHenry County schools in Carpentersville-based District 300 have received various levels of the honor since the program started in 2004.

The trick, District 200 food services director Sue Malley said, is to make those menu changes without losing student interest. The district makes pizza with whole-grain crust and substitutes fatty sides such as classic potato chips and french fries with baked chips and sweet potato fries.

Beyond the schools Outside education, several other McHenry County entities have started programs to try to curb childhood obesity.

The Sage YMCA holds a Healthy Kids Day each year, combining fitness activities and healthy snacks with seminars on creating a healthy family. They also offer a health-minded summer camp and after-school programs.

During Centegra’s Kids in Motion eight-week program, kids exercise and learn healthy habits with personal trainer Shawn Tegtmeier while parents learn – in a separate room – how to promote family fitness from Lauren Henke, a registered dietitian.

“Educating the families and the kids at the same time, I think that is a key thing,” Tegtmeier said.

“They can work together.”

Amanda Edwards, who attended the program in the spring with her daughter, said the information they gained is still affecting daily decisions.

Maddy remembers bits of information she learned from the class and puts them into practice. She tries to characterize foods by the categories she learned in the program, categories that also play a

TIPS FOR PARENTS Parents can help shape a child's attitudes and behaviors toward physical activity by encouraging them to be physically active for at least one hour daily. Tips include:

key role in CATCH programming: “go,” “slow” and “whoa.”

“She will make different food selections than she normally would,” Amanda Edwards said. “A lot of times, I’d make mac and cheese for the kids for dinner, and she’d look at it and say, ‘Oh, can I have another bowl?’

“I’ll look at her. She’ll be like, ‘All right.’ And she’ll go grab carrots, she’ll go grab strawberries.”

A cultural shift While Edwards maintains it isn’t about the numbers, Maddy did make some gains in that department during Kids in Motion.

She more than quadrupled the amount of pull-ups and push-ups she can do. She didn’t lose any weight, but she lost an inch and a half off her waist and an inch off her arms.

But there’s another number from Edwards’ Kids In Motion session that might be telling: Only four families attended.

The programs’ directors are confused by that number. Centegra advertises for the class on the radio and in the newspaper. Its brochures have been placed in the offices of pediatricians.

“I’m just not certain what it is,” Tegtmeier said. “We don’t know.”

At the end of the day, the toughest challenge facing those committed to fitness might be getting through to parents.

“They used to say that parents would recognize childhood obesity as a problem, but it wasn’t a problem for their kids,” said Henry, of NIU. In the long term, Henry predicts, significant changes won’t come like a crashing wave – more like the slow turning of the cultural tide. It’ll take a shift back toward simply promoting healthy growth and development.

“Which is what the message used to be before this trend,” she said.

Remain safe during harvest The agricultural sector remains the most dangerous occupation in the U.S., according to the National Education Center for Agricultural Safety.

Last year saw 475 fatalities among the people who work in agriculture, fishing, hunting and forestry. That represents 21.2 deaths per 100,000 workers.

Within that For the record cloud of bad news, however, is a A bumper crop of healthy, silver lining. uninjured farm workers should Those fatalities be everyone’s goal. represented a 16 percent reduction from the 566 fatalities recorded in 2011.

And the 566 fatalities in 2011 represented a 9 percent reduction from nearly 600 fatalities in 2010.

Those declines in fatal work injuries happened because more people are avoiding the hazards associated with the agricultural sector.

Those hazards are many.

Today’s farmers have to respect the dangers posed by their huge, high-tech equipment.

Today’s farmers have to worry about avoiding the cars and trucks they share rural roadways with.

Today’s farmers have to worry about whether the hot engines of their combines could set fire to dry fields during harvest.

Ag safety groups have worked nearly 70 years to improve safety at harvest time. Some of their accomplishments include the establishment of slow-moving vehicle emblems, rollover protective structures for tractors, and better emergency farm rescue techniques.

This year’s push is to continue to improve safety and rescue techniques for workers in agricultural confined spaces, such as grain bins.

With the harvest upon us, we encourage everyone associated with agriculture to embrace safe working habits. A bumper crop of healthy, uninjured farm workers should be everyone’s goal.

Bad time for gamesmanship President Barack Obama expressed outrage over the continued standoff and inaction in Congress over increasing the federal government’s debt ceiling to avert a government shutdown and economic chaos.

The president’s outrage – and that of most congressional Democrats, some clear-thinking Republicans and a majority of level-headed Americans – is absolutely justified.

The political gamesmanship spearheaded

by Grand Old Party extremists has produced no winners, only an embarrassing do-nothing loser of a Congress that has brought the stability of government operations and the slow but steady recovery of the U.S. economy to the doorstep of disaster.

Some Republicans are threatening to hold up raising the debt ceiling and passing a federal budget if elements of the Affordable Care Act are funded as a part of it. Obama said Republicans are effectively holding the government hostage by threatening to defund his signature health-care reform victory.

Wasting congressional time on meaningless Obamacare antics does nothing toward taking care of the nation’s pressing business. Little is more pressing now than ensuring government solvency.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE What is Quinn thinking?

To the Editor: What is Gov. Pat Quinn thinking?

I just read in a Crystal Lake mailing that effective Jan. 1, we will have another new law going into effect: Bring your parents to school day every first Monday in October.

When you first look at it, this may seem like a good idea. But, governor, you’re supposed to be smarter than that. This sounds like one day per year our schools are susceptible to gun violence.

We already have overcrowded classrooms, now you’re inviting parents into these classrooms for one day. Thirty students in a classroom equals a possibility of 60-plus parents, including stepparents; 90-plus people in a classroom. What if there is a shooting, fire or another unimaginable thing happens?

Governor, you’re setting the table for a disaster. How about our teachers? With this disturbance, do you think this can be a normal school day? No. It’s going to be a wasted day – plain and simple. If I were a teacher, I would have the blue flu every time this day arrives.

Otherwise, my life might be in jeopardy.

All teachers don’t teach from their desks. What happens when a nosy parent in a crowded room

goes through a desk and finds privileged information about your child or family.

What is Quinn thinking? Parents always can get in contact with a teacher for any information through email.

Offended by cartoon To the Editor: Regarding the letter to the editor

by Wesley Emch (“Exercise better judgment,” Sept. 18, 2013), you, sir, are absolutely correct.

The referenced cartoon is reprehensible, and what is implied is a total lie. There are many (myself included) who grew up very poor, although nobody told us that we were poor. Our families instilled a proper attitude, and we became well educated, had a reasonably successful career, and now retirement.

I am very, very slow to be offended.

However, I am greatly offended by the referenced cartoon. It should never have been promulgated, and I only can hope that, henceforth, that sort of thing will not make it past the editor.

Mr. Emch, you are spot on. Keep up the good work.

Bill Smith Crystal Lake

Retiring newspaper carrier To the Editor: After 27.5 years, our Northwest Herald newspaper carrier, Steve Andrick, is retiring.

Steve has done an outstanding job of delivering our paper on time and in good condition in all kinds of weather.

He has been a great representative of the Northwest Herald and Shaw Media and is one of the reasons the Northwest Herald is such a great newspaper.

We wish Steve all the best in his retirement.

Brady’s lieutenant governor selection could secure GOP bid For a moment, let’s flash back to a poll I commissioned last month.

The Aug. 13 Capitol Fax/We Ask America poll surveyed 1,102 likely Republican primary voters.

The poll found that 74 percent of Republicans wanted GOP gubernatorial candidates to choose a running mate who was “more conservative” than the candidates themselves. An additional 18 percent said ideology made no difference, and a mere 7 percent said they wanted a more liberal running mate.

The poll found that 73 percent of Republican women and 75 percent of men wanted a more conservative running mate. Seventy-nine percent of seniors, who tend to dominate GOP primaries, wanted a more rightward pick. Seventy-seven percent of collar county Republicans, 73 percent of suburban Cook and Downstate Republicans and 69 percent of Chicago Republicans wanted the candidates to look to their right when picking their lieutenant governor candidates.

As you probably already know,

Illinois changed its laws on running mates. Before, lieutenant governor candidates ran independently in primaries. Now candidates for governor are required to choose a running mate before they begin circulating nominating petitions.

Fast-forward to today. So far, anyway, the gubernatorial candidate who has by far heeded this poll result the most is state Sen. Bill Brady, who was, socially anyway, the most conservative candidate in the race to begin with.

Brady did not try at all to “soften” his ideological stances by picking a more moderate candidate.

Unlike state Sen. Kirk Dillard, who chose a sitting state representative as his running mate, Brady went outside the state party establishment and selected a former suburban mayor of a wealthy small town named Maria Rodriguez. She has spent the past few years running a far-right statewide tea party-affiliated organization for Adam Andrzejewski, who wasn’t a particularly great statewide candidate in 2010,

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

VIEWS Rich Miller but did build a heck of a large list of devoted tea party activists, partly because of his executive director Rodriguez.

Sen. Brady was outspent by more than 7-1 by Andy McKenna in the 2010 gubernatorial primary and almost 3-1 by Sen. Dillard. Despite some polling that showed McKenna leading near the end, the previously unknown’s support turned out to be paper thin and he dropped like a rock in the last few days as the election became “real” to voters.

Dillard, for his part, was hurt badly in the closing days by McKenna’s attacks on him for cutting a TV ad for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.

But nobody so much as touched Brady, and Republican primary voters turned to him at almost literally the last minute. The only poll I know

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

of which caught Brady’s late surge was a privately commissioned We Ask America poll taken the weekend before the primary election. Brady hadn’t been tainted by hardcore attacks and he was ideologically “pure” enough for GOP primary voters, so he ended up being the default choice. Chicago political reporters, taken completely by surprise, raced down I-55 to Bloomington on primary night to cover Brady’s victory rally.

Despite Dillard’s rightward lurch since losing that 2010 primary, Brady is still likely considered the more “authentic” conservative. And his choice of an outsider tea party leader as a running mate will almost certainly help him lock down the right side of the party.

The difference between now and then, of course, is that Brady won the 2010 primary and he has to be taken seriously by the other candidates. He won’t get a pass between now and March by the big-spending Bruce Rauner or by Dillard and Treasurer Dan Rutherford. This is

why Brady’s well-known inability – even reluctance – to raise big money could hurt him badly.

But the idea for 2014 is still the same as 2010. Stay to the right, stay focused on painting his opponents as being far to his own left, pick a running mate who bolsters his conservative credentials and who will “keep him honest,” and try to make the electorate believe that he’s the most “electable” Republican because he’s been there before and has learned how to do it.

I personally never make predictions. The latest polling had Brady leading the pack, although the top three (Brady, Rutherford, Rauner) were all bunched up within seven points of each other. What I will say is that Brady appears to have a plan that deals with Republican primary voters as they are and it could very well work. More money would help, however.

FOUR INJURED IN CRASH NEAR MCC CRYSTAL LAKE – Four people were taken to the hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening after a two-vehicle crash Monday morning on Route 14 near McHenry County College, Crystal Lake police said.

The Crystal Lake police and fire rescue departments responded to the crash at 11:24 a.m. Monday, according to a news release.

Rachel Leszczynski, 20, of Crystal Lake was headed northwest on Route 14 when she attempted to turn left onto southbound Lucas Road, the release said. She collided with a 2002 Honda Accord headed southeast on Route 14, sending it off the roadway and into a tree.

The driver of the Accord, Michael Nordin, 19, of Woodstock, and his two passengers were taken to Centegra Hospital – Woodstock, the release said.

Leszczynski was also taken to Centegra.

Both vehicles were damaged extensively and had to be removed from the scene, the release said.

The intersection was closed for about 30 minutes after the crash.

Leszczynski was cited with failure to yield when turning left.

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – A new day care center could be coming to town.

Developers IRED Acquisitions has plans to build a 10,000-square-foot day care facility at 15 Crystal Lake Road.

The proposed Learning Experience Day Care Center

would be north of the existing buildings on that road – an AutoZone and the Curtis Professional Building.

The Learning Experience is a national corporation with

more than 175 locations, according to village documents.

The planned location already has the foundation for a 14,700-square-foot building that was slated to be used for medical offices. However, that project was abandoned because of an inability to find tenants.

Topinka discusses Ill. fiscal woes Comptroller addresses members of Huntley Chamber of Commerce

By JIM DALLKE jdallke@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Judy Baar Topinka told members of the Huntley Chamber of Commerce and other area elected officials Monday to remind their constituents that she is the state comptroller, not the air traffic controller.

“Oftentimes they hear the word ‘comptroller,’ they think I have an air force or I hang out at O’Hare or

“If you could imagine the state of Illinois, with all of its assets, with all of the things we have. A transportation hub. A great labor force. … And we could have junk status in the state of Illinois? To me, that’s stunning if that occurs.”

Judy Baar Topinka, Illinois comptroller something,” Topinka said.

Speaking about Illinois’ bleak fiscal situation at Pinecrest Restau-

rant in Huntley, Topinka described the event as “kind of like being at your own funeral.” She injected hu-

mor when she could, but she took the time to lay out the serious issues facing the state of Illinois.

Illinois has 89,000 unpaid bills totaling $5.1 billion. Topinka said that if you add bills that are pilling up at state agencies that haven’t reached her office, that number jumps to $7.5 billion. And the number could be closer to $9 billion by the end of the year, she said.

D-300’s balanced budget Long-closed road set gets unanimous approval to open in early Oct.

Expanded use of tablets planned next year in high school classes

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – The District 300 board on Monday officially approved its $204.5 million budget that is balanced thanks to an unexpected contribution from the state.

The financial plan gives the Carpentersville-based school district a $19,923 surplus, after administrators initially projected a $2 million deficit for the 2013-14 budget earlier this summer.

But the deficit was erased after officials learned last month they would receive a $4.4 million increase in general state aid. Declining property values and a slight enrollment increase entitled the district to the largest allowable reimburse-

ment from the state.

“I’m glad we are at a balanced budget,” said Chief Financial Officer Susan Harkin. “To see that we lowered class sizes through this budget, it’s really exciting because that truly benefits our kids.”

The new contract with the district’s teachers union that gave existing teachers a salary increase and allowed the district to add more teachers to lower class sizes drove the projected deficit before officials learned about the state aid increase.

Board members unanimously approved the plan without debate. Members had been reviewing various budget drafts and receiving updates since February.

The public, who had

ecoleman@shawmedia.com RICHMOND – Hill Road is set to open in less than two weeks, nearly 21 months after the state closed the bridge.

All crews have left is paving the final layer of asphalt, installing the guardrails and finishing the landscaping and cleanup, said Jim Werner, a construction manager with the McHenry County Division of Transportation.

Work was scheduled to be completed by the end of September but is a little behind schedule because of weather, Werner said. If the weather doesn’t interfere, Werner expects the road to be opened on or before Oct. 4.

“It was closed awhile, longer than we would have liked,” he said.

In a routine inspection, the state discovered that some structural elements had failed, and on Jan. 1, 2012, closed the bridge, which crosses the north branch of

$1.8 million amount of money needed for the Hill Road project Nippersink Creek, Wally Dittrich, design manager for McHenry County Division of Transportation, said in an earlier interview.

The bridge was built in 1958, according to county documents.

Richmond Township owns the bridge and the Illinois Department of Transportation is handling the replacement.

The project originally was scheduled for last fall, but when the bid wasn’t awarded by a state deadline, it had to be rebid, Dittrich said.

Eighty percent of the $1.8 million project will be paid with federal dollars, he said.

Sixteen percent will come from a state fund for township bridge projects, and the final 4 percent will be paid by the county.

more parking spaces than required for a day care facility, and there would be adequate parking to support office uses, according to a memo from Director of Community Development Dan Olson to the Village Board.

“If the day care center would ever close, the building could be adapted to accommodate other commercial uses,” Olson wrote.

The applicants say the facility would create about 20 jobs.

According to IRED’s condi-

tional-use application, there are more than 4,000 children in the area, which shows there is “a great need” for a child care/educational facility.

“Keeping the children in the area is a great service [and] convenience to the families of Lake in the Hills,” according to IRED’s application.

There also are retail businesses, restaurants and medical services near to the proposed day care location, which parents might use when picking up or dropping off their children.

The facility also would have an established curriculum and monitoring systems in place. Among the security measures planned are security cameras in all of the classrooms, which can be monitored from the director’s office. There also would be a key-fob system that allows enrolled families and staff members access to the center.

13 credit downgrades since March 2009 • TOPINKA

By the numbers

Continued from page B1 “When you’re paying your bills tonight, give me a thought, because I’ve got 89,000 of those little suckers that I have to pay,” she said.

The state has had 13 credit downgrades since March 2009 and has the worst credit score in the nation, said Topinka, adding that Illinois is about 1 or 2 points from “junkyard status.”

“If you could imagine the state of Illinois, with all of its assets, with all of the things we have. A transportation hub. A great labor force. … And we could have junk status in the state of Illinois? To me, that’s stunning if that occurs,” she said.

Topinka said pensions, Medicaid and overspending

of unpaid 89,000 amount bills for Illinois the $5.1 billion amount state owes in the unpaid bills are problems that have plagued the state and have scared off business owners from investing or expanding in Illinois.

She has told the Legislature to “cool your jets” when it comes to spending and to not spend any money on anything that’s not needed. New programs and initiatives need to wait. And even if revenue increases, Illinois cannot afford to bump up spending, she said.

“After having said this, and obviously having great influence, the Legislature added $2 billion to the budget last year,”

Topinka said. “I cannot sustain it. I don’t have the money to pay for it. So it’s going to be promises made, promises that cannot and will not be kept.

And I think that’s the worst kind of policy we could make.”

Topinka has spoken to chambers of commerce across the state recently about the financial issues facing Illinois.

She announced Sept. 15 that she was running for re-election as Illinois comptroller and said Monday, “I like to fix things.

But boy, I’ll tell ya, this one’s hard.

“If it were up to me, I would take that [pension] commission or the Legislature and the governor and I’d lock them all into a room until we had a deal and I’d give them lots of soda pop and then I’d make sure they had no bathroom privileges,” she joked. “That’s the way you get it done.”

Bregy: Curriculum change will take time • D-300 Continued from page B1 In other business, Assistant Superintendent Ben Churchill informed the board during a presentation on new high school courses for 2014-15 that the district will expand the use of tablets to more high school classrooms next year.

Students in advanced ge-

ography and economy classes had been using tablets in class for the past three years, and they have raved about the tablets, Churchill said.

Throughout this year, the district will determine how many classes and subjects will see expanded tablet use.

Teachers will likely be surveyed in the coming weeks to determine whether they would want to incorporate the electronic devices in their

class, Churchill said.

The focus on tablets in the classroom will also take time, because a digital, one-to-one curriculum requires professional development, Superintendent Michael Bregy said.

“We just don’t want to hand someone a tablet and say, ‘Hey, we are a one-to-one district,’ ” Bregy said. “We are going to take it slow. We want to make sure we do it right.”

• 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday at the Crystal Lake office of the health department, 100 N. Virginia St., Crystal Lake.

The CDC recommends get-

ting a flu shot before flu season begins because it takes two weeks for antibodies to develop to provide protection.

A flu shot protects not only those who get them but also those around them, such as pregnant women, young children, people with chronic health conditions such as asthma, diabetes and heart disease and people 65 and older who are especially at risk for complications from the flu.

Simple ways to protect oneself also include covering coughs, washing hands and staying home when sick.

Enio Guarnieri wipes the VW emblem of his 1972 Volkswagen van in Sao Paulo, Brazil. In Brazil, the VW van is known as the “Kombi,” an abbreviation for the German “Kombinationsfahrzeug” that loosely translates as “cargo-passenger van.” Brazil is the last place in the world still producing the iconic vehicle, or “bus” as it’s known by aficionados, but VW says production will end Dec. 31. Safety regulations mandate that every vehicle in Brazil must have air bags and automatic brakes starting in 2014, and the company says it cannot change production to meet the law.

VW to stop making bus Long, strange trip ending for VW’s hippie van

RICHMOND – A push is underway to start a new Lions club for Richmond and Spring Grove.

A kick-off meeting will be at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Doyle’s Pub, at the corner of Mill Street and Route 12 in Richmond, according to news release from the Richmond/Spring Grove Chamber of Commerce.

John Landon, a member of the Crystal Lake Lions Club for more than 30 years, is leading the effort to create the new club. He said it made sense to draw members from both Richmond and Spring Grove.

He hopes to recruit more than 20 members.

The organization helps the community, provides networking, leadership and education. For information, call the Chamber at 815-678-7742 or visit the Chamber’s website at www.rsgchamber.com.

Richmond’s previous Lions club was dissolved last year, said Laura Ferris, executive director of the Richmond/Spring Grove Chamber of Commerce.

Lions Clubs International is the world’s largest club service organization with 46,000 clubs and 1.35 million members.

Algonquin dentist to offer free care to adults

The Associated Press

ALGONQUIN – An Algonquin dentist is hosting a Dentistry From The Heart event, which provides adults with free dental care, Friday Nov. 1.

Dentist Tim Stirneman will host the event at All Smiles Dental, 1452 Merchant Drive, Algonquin. For information, contact Karen Krabbenhoft at karen@allsmilesdental.com or 847-854-7645.

SAO PAULO – It carried hippies through the 1960s, hauled surfers in search of killer waves during endless summers and serves as a workhorse across the developing world, but the long, strange trip of the Volkswagen van is ending.

Brazil is the last place in the world still producing the iconic vehicle, or “bus” as it’s known by aficionados, but VW says production will end Dec. 31. Safety regulations mandate that every vehicle in Brazil must have air bags and anti-lock braking systems starting in 2014, and the company says it cannot change production to meet the law.

Although output will halt in Brazil, there should be plenty of VW vans rolling along for decades if only because there are so many, and they are so durable.

VW produced more than 10 million Volkswagen Transporter vans globally since the model was introduced 63 years ago in Germany, though not all resemble the classic hippie machine.

More than 1.5 million have been produced in Brazil since 1957.

The VW van is so deeply embedded in popular culture, it will likely live on even longer in the imagination.

“The van represents freedom,” said Damon

Fairfax to buy BlackBerry for $4.7B

Members of the Sampa Kombi club, a group of Volkswagen van owners, gather for their monthly meeting in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Ristau, the Missoula, Mont., director of the documentary “The Bus,” which follows van fanatics and their affection for the machine. “It has a magic and charm lacking in other vehicles. It’s about the open road, about bringing smiles to peoples’ faces when they see an old VW van rolling along.”

Perhaps nothing with a motor has driven itself deeper into American and European pop culture than the VW, known for its durability but also its tendency to break down. Van lovers say its failures only reinforce its charm: Because its engine is so simple, it’s easy to fix, imparting a deeper sense of ownership.

The van made an appearance on Bob Dylan and Beach Boys record album covers, among many, though in music circles it is most closely linked to the Grateful Dead and the legion of touring fans that followed the rock group across the U.S., the machines serving as rolling homes. Steve Jobs is said to have sold his van in the 1970s to buy a circuit board as he built a computer that helped launch Apple. The vehicle is linked to the California surf scene, its cavernous interior perfect for hauling boards.

But in poorer regions like Latin American and Africa, the vehicle doesn’t carry the same romantic

appeal. It definitely doesn’t hold the cool mystique in Sao Paulo that it does in San Francisco.

It’s used in Brazil by the postal service to haul mail, by the army to transport soldiers, and by morticians to carry corpses. It serves as a school bus for kids, operates as a group taxi, and delivers construction materials to work sites. Brazilians convert their vans into rolling food carts, setting up on street corners for working-class lunchtime crowds.

In Brazil it’s known as the “Kombi,” an abbreviation for the German “Kombinationsfahrzeug” that loosely translates as “cargo-passenger van.”

TORONTO – BlackBerry has agreed to sell itself for $4.7 billion to a group led by largest shareholder, Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. BlackBerry said Monday a letter of intent has been signed and its shareholders will receive $9 in cash for each share.

Fairfax head Prem Watsa is a former board member who owns 10 percent of BlackBerry. Watsa stepped down when BlackBerry announced it was considering a sale last month.

Watsa is one of Canada’s best-known value investors and the billionaire founder of Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. BlackBerry founder Mike Lazaridis recruited Watsa to join the company’s board when Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie stepped aside as its co-CEOs in January 2012.

Emmy telecast wins big THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Tuesday, September 24, 2013 • Section B • Page 6

The Nielsen Co. says Sunday’s Emmy broadcast scored a one-third audience spike over last year.

Prelimary ratings figures indicate the 3-hour telecast on CBS averaged 17.6 million viewers, compared to 13.3 million viewers for last year’s Emmy show on ABC. It was the largest audience for the awards show since 2005.

But Sunday’s broadcast, which aired live across the country, was undoubtedly helped by the network’s very strong lead-in: NFL football.

Neil Patrick Harris was host of the 65th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards.

Charles earns stamp

Celebs offer custom phone recordings It may be one of the most boring lines ever – “Leave a message after the beep.” But what if you managed to jazz up your phone’s outgoing message with a celebrity?

The advocacy group Autism Speaks is offering just that: custom-recorded messages from “Batman” star Adam West, “Breaking Bad” star Bryan Cranston, singer Cher, actors Jack Black, Peter Dinklage, Jim Parsons, “Star Wars” star Mark Hamill, “Star Trek” actors Michael Dorn and Zachary Quinto, and broadcaster Vin Scully.

“We got a good mix and match,” Ed Asner, the curmudgeonly Emmy Award winner of “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and “Lou Grant,” who dreamed up the unusual fundraiser with one of his sons, Matt, who works for Autism Speaks. “They’ve all been really happy to do it. And if they’re not happy, I’ll put a hit out on them.”

From Oct. 7 to Oct. 13, a limited number of 20-second long MP3 messages you write will be recorded by each celebrity on a first-come, first-served basis for fans to do with as they wish. All requests must be of the PG variety and each costs $299.

Last year, the fundraiser created some memorable messages: Betty White warned listeners to one phone number, “If I have to tell you what to do at the beep, then you’re an idiot and shouldn’t be using a phone in the first place.” Callers to another number got Will Ferrell saying, “Leave Jimmy a message while we eat some meatloaf.” And Patrick Stewart lent his smooth British accent to one: “You could leave a message,” he purred, “but we both know it would be nowhere as awesome as this greeting.”

Some 342 messages were made last year during the inaugural campaign, helping raise $100,000. All proceeds will support autism research and advocacy efforts. An estimated 1 in 88 children in the U.S. is on the autism spectrum, a developmental disorder characterized by communication difficulties, social and behavioral challenges, as well as repetitive behaviors.

The U.S. Postal Service is planning to add soul singer Ray Charles to its “Music Icons Forever” stamp series.

Postal officials say the agency released a stamp Monday featuring the Albany, Ga., native along with one of the artist’s previously unreleased songs.

Charles was a singer and songwriter who pioneered the soul and rhythmand-blues genres. He died in 2004.

Events are being planned in Atlanta and Los Angeles to celebrate Charles’ inclusion in the series.

R&B singer Ashanti and the Morehouse College Glee Club were scheduled to perform at the Atlanta school’s Ray Charles Performing Arts Center. And

Christina Aguilera said a season away from “The Voice” was the break she needed to get reinvigorated – for herself, the show and the contestants.

Aguilera and CeeLo took time off from the show last season, and were replaced by Usher and Shakira. But they were back in their signature red chairs Monday night when the hit talent competition premiered on NBC. Speaking to a small group of reporters last week at the tony Soho House, Aguilera said the show, now in its fifth season, was taking a bit of a toll on her – coupled with her demanding life outside of it – including being a mother to 5-year-old son Max. “As artists we need to feel like we’re appreciated and we’re

And then I’m a mother on top of that, and it’s giving, giving, giving at home. And it’s like, when do I get something back?” she said, eliciting laughter. “You know, and I’m giving, giving to my team.

And it’s just like, you know, I just – you just, you know, need to take a moment.”

Aguilera’s commitment to finding that elusive balance of life and career is something she’s teaching this year’s crop of singing hopefuls.

“It’s learning how to better care and protect and nurture yourself,” she said. “I’m giving these kids that coaching advice on my team this year and I’m trying to get them to step, sometimes away from, sorry, the competition of it and just live and breathe into music and remember why you’re up there on that stage.”

McHENRY 204, DUNDEE-CROWN 215

Trestman goes above and beyond for Melton LAKE FOREST – It’s easy to poke fun at Marc Trestman.

He looks like an accountant. He speaks like a scientist. He wears long pants and long sleeves to practice on steaming-hot days because of the importance of sun protection.

By now, though, it’s clear that Trestman is more than capable as an NFL head coach.

And Monday offered another re- Grading minder that Trest- the Bears man’s leadership skills at Halas Hall Hub Arkush extend well beyond gives his weekly drawing up X’s grades for the and O’s or preparBears. PAGE C4 ing for left-footed punters.

We all know the feel-good news: The Bears improved to 3-0 with a road win against the Pittsburgh Steelers and are one of seven unbeaten teams in the NFL. We all know the feel-bad news: Pro Bowl defensive tackle Henry Melton rushed the passer, took a funny step and was lost for the season, just like that. Melton, 26, tore the ACL in his left knee and will require surgery once the swelling goes down.

What we didn’t know – at least, what I didn’t know until Monday – was what happened in the wee hours of the morning after the Bears’ return flight landed at O’Hare International Airport.

That’s when Trestman the coach became Trestman the counselor.

Melton, who flew home with the team shortly after being carted off the field, did not want anyone to drive him home. He might have torn ligaments in his knee, and he might have lost millions upon millions of dollars in next summer’s free-agent market, but he didn’t need anybody’s sympathy, and he certainly didn’t need a chauffeur.

So Trestman sent text messages to Melton to make sure he made it home safely. And when Melton returned home, he texted his coach to let him know he was OK. And when Melton and his mother arrived at Halas Hall at 11 a.m. Monday to confirm the bad news about his knee, guess who was right there with them in the trainers’ room?

It was Trestman, the first-year head coach who quickly has bonded with his team.

Warriors keep rolling McHenry winning streak reaches 3

By PATRICK MASON pmason@shawmedia.com

Dundee-Crown’s Maddie Hunsberger chips onto the 15th green Monday at Bonnie Dundee.

CARPENTERSVILLE – The McHenry girls golf team has been on a roll lately, and Madie Ogden helped continue the hot streak with a solid performance on an unfamiliar course.

The Warriors put their two-meet winning streak on the line Monday when they traveled to Bonnie Dundee to take on Dundee-Crown in a Fox Valley Conference Valley Division meet and left with another win in a 204-215 victory.

The Warriors pushed their winning streak to three behind a strong round from Ogden, who shot 13-over-par 48 to earn medalist honors.

The win continues a nice stretch for the Warriors, who have put together a solid season, one that began with doubt because of the lack of experience on the team. But as the season progressed, McHenry coach Sean Sterner began to see what his young team was capable of.

“We usually have three freshmen who are able to get up there and score for us,” Sterner said. “Madie had a great round today.”

Ogden, a freshman, had not played at Bonnie Dundee before and said it took awhile to get used to how the course played, but after a few holes she figured

“My wedge was working today, and I was able to finish a couple of holes pretty strong, but it was tough because the greens were pretty fast.”

Madie Ogden McHenry freshman golfer out the speed of the greens and where to hit her drives, and the rest came naturally.

“My drives were pretty straight today, but I didn’t hit them as far as I normally do,” Ogden said. “My wedge was working today, and I was able to finish a couple of holes pretty strong, but it was tough because the greens were pretty fast.”

On No. 18, Ogden fired a long, straight drive to the middle of the fairway. After her second shot landed to the right of the green, she chipped on and two-putted for par. It was an important hole for her, and the Warriors.

McHenry held off the Chargers with four solid scores. Playing in the top group, Kailey Lindholm, a freshman, and Lok Yan Fick carded 50s, while Abby Ross turned in a 56.

C-G’s Gomez makes switch to defense

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com Cary-Grove football coach Brad Seaburg hinted late last season that guard Michael Gomez’s future might lie on the defensive line.

Gomez lined up on the same side as tackle Trevor Ruhland last year, and the two sophomores were Northwest Herald All-Area first-team offensive linemen after helping the Trojans to the Class 6A state championship game.

While Ruhland (6-foot-5, 263 pounds) already has a handful of NCAA Division I offers, Gomez (6-0, 249) likely was not going to see those as an offensive lineman because of his height.

Seaburg played Gomez in most defensive series in Friday’s 34-0 win against

Dundee-Crown. Gomez may play some offensive series – he was in for two Friday – but most of his time will be on defense. The Trojans, as usual, have speed on their defense, but Gomez lends some size in the middle as the heaviest defensive player by far. He also is one of C-G’s strongest players.

The Trojans use Ruhland, P.J. Bardgett, Johnny Klodnicki, Brandon Caccavallo and Scott Topole on their offensive line. And now, D-I coaches can see Gomez where he likely would proj-

ect at that level.

Scalise returns to practice: Huntley senior running back Jake Scalise left Friday’s game against Crystal Lake Central in the second quarter after taking a helmet to his lower back.

Scalise did not return, but Red Raiders coach John Hart said Scalise would practice this week and play Friday at Dundee-Crown.

Scalise came out of the game and was taken off the field on a cart in the first half. He returned to watch the game on the sideline, then went to a local hospital to be examined after the game. Huntley trainer Quinn Hall wanted Scalise checked for internal bleeding, but it was determined he was fine.

PREP ROUNDUP

Hahn’s record round lifts R-B 8INSIDE GIRLS VOLLEYBALL Athlete of the week FRANKIE CAVALLARO Dundee-Crown, so., setter Cavallaro’s performance during Thursday’s match against Huntley was a critical component of the Chargers’ upset.

Cavallaro had 13 assists, nine digs and six kills in D-C’s three-set win against the Red Raiders.

Cavallaro finished the week with eight kills, 23 assists, 13 digs and four blocks in two matches, including a loss to Prairie Ridge on Tuesday.

Noteworthy Asics Preview success: Crystal Lake South, along with many other teams, uses the Asics Preview at Mother McAuley as a measuring stick of sorts. The Gators’ runner-up status should give them a shot of confidence, then.

South lost to Lincoln-Way Central in three sets Saturday to finish second in the prestigious two-day tournament, which is hosted annually by the Mighty Macs’ JV team and includes some of the strongest competition in the Chicago area. South beat Fenwick, Chicago Christian, Mother McAuley and Lyons Township before losing to Lincoln-Way Central.

“I thought, overall, the girls did a great job this weekend,” South coach Jorie Fontana said. “There are areas we need to work on to be consistent, but there were many moments of ‘wow.’ ” South’s offensive attack is well documented this year, and it did not disappoint. Outsides Carly Nolan and Avalon Nero had 57 and 40 kills, respectively, while middle Nicole Slimko knocked down 30. Setter Cassy Sivesind had 113 assists.

It’s South’s defense that has been rather unheralded. Slimko added 15 blocks and libero Hannah Wilson led the team with 52 digs.

“We have a big offense, but I have been most impressed with how our defense has stepped up,” Fontana said. “I would love to see our serve-receive become more consistent.”

South will be able to test that back row passing Tuesday against Huntley.

The Red Raiders serve aggressively and should provide ample opportunities for South to improve serve-receive.

Passing helped Dundee-Crown upset Huntley last week, D-C coach Christine Hopkins-Muehl said.

The victory was a signature one for the Chargers, who are young and struggle sometimes to believe in themselves, Hopkins-Muehl said.

“Many of the girls are unsure of themselves,” she said. “I know to some it might seem silly, but that win against Huntley was huge for us and our program. I think that the team is slowly starting to see that if they pull together and fight hard, they can play with and beat some of these tougher teams in our conference.”

Maternity leave: Richmond-Burton coach Kaycee Kaywood welcomed her first child, a boy, last week. Assistant coach Laura Chelcun is filling in while Kaywood is out.

During the preseason, Kaywood mentioned she would try to return to the bench for the playoffs, which begin at the end of October.

This week’s top matches CL South at Huntley, 6:30 p.m. Tuesday The Gators and the Red Raiders face off for the first time this year in Fox Valley Conference Valley Division play. South is unbeaten, while Huntley suffered its first division loss to Dundee-Crown on Thursday.

Kost, Ahern lead D-C golfers with 49s in loss • GOLF Continued from page C1 Kylie Kost and Margaret Ahern each carded 49s for the Chargers, while Morgan Howe (56) and Madeline Hunsberger (61) rounded out the scoring in the loss.

D-C coach Robin Jeffers was happy with the way her team performed, especially with the two top scores. Jeffers has looked at this year as an important one for the growth of the team and is excited to see different players contributing each meet.

“It’s important for a lot of these girls to be able to play at this level,” Jeffers said.

“I’m really happy with the scores. We’re a young team, and it’s good for the girls to be able to play and have this experience.”

For the Warriors, the recent winning streak has given the team some confidence ahead of the Fox Valley Conference tournament Oct. 2.

Sterner has noticed that the girls have been having a lot of fun while playing, which has helped relieve some pressure.

“We probably have the most fun out of any team,” Sterner said. “It created a nice atmosphere for these girls to play in, and you can see it in their play.”

Prairie Ridge QB Annen impresses • FOOTBALL Continued from page C1 New quarterback: Prairie Ridge sophomore Luke Annen had plenty of time to calm his nerves. With junior quarterback Brett Covalt sidelined with a concussion, Annen had most of the week to prepare for the Wolves’ game Friday against Crystal Lake South.

“At the beginning of the week, I was definitely a lot more nervous. And as the week went on, it got less and less,” said Annen, who helped the Wolves to a 14-9 victory.

Annen certainly played fearlessly against the Gators.

The 6-0 sophomore felt like he missed some reads running the option offense, but the Wolves lauded his performance. Senior running back Colin Rempert credited Annen for making the right decisions at the line of scrimmage. It resulted in Rempert rushing for 175 yards on 18 carries, including runs of 56 and 46 yards.

“I can’t even put it into words, speechless,” Rempert said of Annen’s perfor-

BLACKHAWKS

Pirri’s place still uncertain

ALDEN-HEBRON GIRLS VOLLEYBALL

Alden-Hebron girls volleyball coach Carrie Recard wasn’t sure what to expect from her relatively new and young team this season, other than her players accepted all the challenges she threw them during preseason.

The Giants have shed some of their inexperience, Recard said. A-H picked up its first Northeastern Athletic Conference win of the season last week against Mooseheart, led by Brooklyn Hilton’s eight kills.

Communication has keyed much of the Giants’ growth, Recard said.

“At the beginning of the season they found it difficult to communicate on the court,” she said. “However, they are now trusting each other as teammates and continuing to communicate, which has found them more success.”

Hilton, meanwhile, has blossomed. Communication between Hilton and her setters has been critical too.

“She works closely with setters to give her the most ample opportunities to hit perfect sets during a game,” Recard said. “She continues to work on her approach and makes smart choices at the net. She is critical of the game and very aware of what her strength is: hitting.”

mance in the win. “He just did his job and he’s going to be our starting quarterback, I think.”

Considering how well the Wolves moved the ball against the Gators’ defense in Friday’s win, there’s no guarantee Annen will be bumped from being their starting quarterback. Most importantly, the Wolves did not commit any fumbles, which had been an issue earlier.

They fumbled eight times and lost four a Week 3 loss to Jacobs, 20-0.

“We’ll see how it goes,” said Wolves coach Chris Schremp, regarding the quarterback situation. “The nice thing is he jumps in and he knows 75 percent of the playbook right away. It’s just getting him up to the speed of varsity compared to sophomore, and he did it. He did a phenomenal job.”

Ladd still out: Prairie Ridge running back Steven Ladd topped 100 yards in the season opener but suffered a shoulder injury and has not yet returned.

R-B airs it out: Seven passes in a game is not a lot, but

for ground-oriented Richmond-Burton, quarterback Danny Rygiel’s 6-of-7 performance was an air show.

Rygiel completed his first two passes for 133 yards and two touchdowns – which was more touchdowns and yards than he had in Danny three previous Rygiel games. Rygiel was 4 of 11 for 73 yards and a touchdown before Friday.

Rygiel added another touchdown and finished with 222 yards.

“Our main focus so far has been run, run, run, so when I get the chance to throw the ball, I want to do the best I can,” Rygiel said.

It helped that Rygiel had speedster running back Luke Brinkmann to throw to.

Brinkmann caught the first two touchdown passes for 70 and 63 yards.

PITTSBURGH — Brandon Pirri believes his time is now – that he’s NHL-ready, that he can be the Blackhawks’ answer at second-line center, that his record in Rockford speaks for itself.

So he’s not worried that the lower-body injury that kept him out of the preseason until Monday night has left him with too deep a hole to climb out of, and staring at another season-opener in the minors.

“I’ve been here three years,” Pirri said before making his exhibition debut against the Penguins. “I think they know what I can do.”

He’s right. And the Hawks are still plenty high on the 22-year-old who led the AHL in scoring last season, and has seven NHL games under his belt. But the Hawks also know what Michal Handzus can do.

And all Handzus did was play a major role in winning the Stanley Cup. So when the Hawks open the season Oct. 1 against the Washington Capitals, Handzus – who, like Pirri, has been dealing with a minor lower-body injury throughout camp – is likely to be back between Patrick Sharp and Marian Hossa on the Hawks’ second line, regardless of

whether he even plays in the preseason finale Saturday.

“We’re hopeful that’s going to be the case,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said.

“Good chance.”

It’s not how this camp was supposed to go. Back in July, Quenneville said Handzus would start the season as a role player, likely shuttling in and out of the lineup on the fourth line. The initial hope was that Pirri – a guy whom general manager Stan Bowman repeatedly mentioned as next in line after trading away Dave Bolland and Michael Frolik to free up roster spots – would step into that role. Then Quenneville gave winger Brandon Saad a look at center to open camp.

But Pirri got hurt, and the Saad experiment didn’t pan out. That leaves Handzus as the best – and safest – bet. At the very least, he’s keeping the spot warm until Pirri can take it from him.

Quenneville said Monday that there were five players competing for three spots.

With Jimmy Hayes and Ben Smith seeming like locks at this point, that leaves three guys competing for one spot – and Quenneville said he’s not opposed to keeping an eighth defensemen instead of an extra forward. He wouldn’t say if Pirri was still in the mix after missing so much time.

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Undermanned Hawks fall to Penguins in SO

By MARK LAZERUS Chicago Sun-Times PITTSBURGH – In an actual hockey game, the Blackhawks’ rookies and roster hopefuls had a lot more to play for than the Penguins’ stars, and it showed. In a shootout, though, pure talent usually wins.

James Neal and Sidney Crosby scored in the shootout to give the Penguins a comeback 3-2 victory over a game Hawks squad devoid of most of its stars.

Without Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Patrick Sharp, Marian Hossa and Brandon Saad, among others, the Hawks hung with a team with Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Chris Kunitz and Neal, among others. Bryan Bickell scored shorthanded and on a power play (the Hawks’ first power play goal in 23 chances this preseason) to give the Hawks a 2-0 lead, but Kris Letang scored twice to send the game to overtime.

Nikolai Khabibulin made 31 saves as the Hawks fell to 3-0-2 in the preseason. He wasn’t surprised that the Hawks’ B-team gave the Penguins all they could handle.

“It seems that way in ex-

hibition games,” Khabibulin said. “Whenever you have a younger lineup, and maybe guys have a little bit more to prove, that’s just the way it goes.”

Brandon Pirri, fighting for a roster spot after missing the first four preseason games, had an assist in a strong game.

“It’s exciting playing against the best players,” he said. “Us young guys, we wanted to make the most of the opportunity. We’re all fighting for jobs here.”

Cut-down day: The Hawks trimmed their roster by 10 on Monday. Among those sent to Rockford were forwards Mark McNeill and Garret Ross, and defensemen Dylan Olsen, Viktor Svedberg and Adam Clendening. Teuvo Teravainen was officially assigned to Finland, and 2013 first-rounder and West Dundee native Ryan Hartman was assigned to the Ontario Hockey League.

Coach Joel Quenneville expects to make more cuts Tuesday.

Injury update: Andrew Shaw (lower body) again skated Monday, and might play Saturday. Quenneville still hopes Marian Hossa (upper body) will be back on the ice Wednesday.

BULLS

Rose puts on muscle, gains confidence Guard believes he will be even harder to stop

By JOE COWLEY Chicago Sun-Times There will be a finished product.

Bulls star Derrick Rose has no idea how long it will take or what it will look like, but creating art on the hardwood is inevitable in his eyes. That’s what he does, surgically repaired ACL be damned.

“The thing that changed in my game the most, I would have to say, is my confidence level and knowing

that I put so much into my craft,” Rose said Sunday at a promotional event at the United Center. “I’m working hard. I think I’m one of the hardest workers in the NBA, if not the hardest worker, and I think you should see it in my game when I step on the court.”

While Rose didn’t offer details about what people can expect from his game when camp starts Friday, the muscle he added to his upper body during his rehab has him thinking defenders will have an even bigger chore slowing him down.

“I’m usually good at getting andones and just finishing strong, but with the strength that I just got, I think my jump shot is going to be a lot smoother,” he said. “I think it’s going to help me in the long run.

When you start thinking about

“The thing that changed in my game the most, I would have to say, is my confidence level and knowing that I put so much into my craft.”

Derrick Rose Bulls guard

the playoffs and how hard those games are ... with me continuing to train the same way that I’ve been training – like twice a week on my legs and, really, my overall body – I think it’s going to help me out a lot.’’

That’s where coach Tom Thibodeau comes in. In July, Thibodeau said the Bulls will put a plan in place for Rose once they see where he is at the start of camp. And having a healthy Kirk Hinrich and a more mature Marquis Teague backing him up will give Thibodeau some options.

“We’ll see how it unfolds,” Thibodeau said. “We feel good that we have Kirk backing him up. That’s a big plus.

The quality of our depth is going to be very big. We’ll see how those minutes unfold. Then we’ll get started in the regular season. [Rose will] be fine.”

Thibodeau, though, has to make sure Rose isn’t the only one that’s fine come mid-April. Forward Luol Deng missed more than half of the Bulls’ playoff games last season because of complications from a spinal tap, and center Joakim Noah played most of

the second half of the season with plantar fasciitis in his right foot.

According to STATS and its SportVU technology, Noah ranked fourth in the NBA last season in distance run per game (2.63 miles) and Deng was fifth (2.62 miles). The only players ahead of them were guards. So it will be up to Thibodeau to control their minutes, something that always has been a sticky topic with him.

“There’s a lot more scrutiny today of everything,” Thibodeau said in April. “’This guy doesn’t play enough; this guy plays too much.’ That goes with the territory. You do what you think is right. It’s easy to work backwards, but pacing a team is important.”

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

Niners move forward without Smith After arrest, LB enters rehab for substance abuse

By JANIE McCAULEY The Associated Press

AP photo

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith played Sunday against the Colts, two days after being arrested and jailed on suspicion of driving under the influence and marijuana possession. Smith is entering a rehab program for substance abuse.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The San Francisco 49ers are prepared to go forward without star linebacker Aldon Smith for as long as it takes for him to get clean, healthy and improve his life.

Smith was placed on the reserve non-football injury list Monday as he enters rehab for substance abuse and begins what team CEO Jed York has termed an indefinite absence.

“I am taking a leave of absence to address my health,” Smith said through the 49ers. “I am sorry that I have affected my team, my family and the organization. I will do everything in my power to handle this situation the best way possible. I appreciate the support of the 49ers and our fans.”

The NFL said there is no minimum number of games Smith must miss on the reserve non-football injury list, and he can return when ready.

On whether he expects

Smith to return this season, coach Jim Harbaugh said only, “there’s a process, we’re going to respect that process.”

Smith played Sunday and had five tackles just two days after he was arrested and jailed Friday morning on suspicion of DUI and marijuana possession.

Smith apologized after the 27-7 home loss to the Colts, and now his team moves forward without him heading to St. Louis on Thursday.

“We’re very supportive of Aldon as we are of all of our players, all of our coaches, our personnel. Always support it in house,” Harbaugh said. “We’ve hashed through it, now we’re taking steps and Aldon’s taking steps. We support him in that.”

San Francisco didn’t immediately announce a corresponding roster move.

“We have a pretty good idea what we’re going to do and we’ll make that announcement,” Harbaugh said.

Smith had previously been arrested on suspicion of DUI in January 2012 in Miami shortly after the 49ers lost in the NFC championship game. He is expected to remain in the Bay Area for treatment.

He could face a suspension from the NFL either later this season or next season, and it is

likely given he has had more than one infraction. The NFL would let the legal process play itself out first.

Harbaugh said Dan Skuta, Ahmad Brooks and Corey Lemonier will help fill the void left by Smith, who had a franchise-best 19 1/2 sacks last season. Demarcus Dobbs, who was suspended for Week 1 for his own arrest on suspicion of DUI and marijuana possession from last season, also could be in the mix for some packages.

“I have confidence in those guys and know they’ll do a good job,” Harbaugh said. “Go with the guys we’ve got.”

Smith, selected seventh overall in the 2011 draft out of Missouri, turns 24 on Wednesday.

Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said Smith “never had any problems with that, zero,” at school. He said he texted Smith earlier Monday and thought the situation could be turned into something “real positive.”

“You look at any player who’s 22-23 years old and has tremendous success, that’s difficult to handle,” Pinkel said.

“You become very, very vulnerable in many, many ways and maybe ways you don’t even understand.”

Harbaugh and general man-

ager Trent Baalke ultimately decided to let Smith play before he entered rehab.

“Aldon Smith is taking a leave of absence to address a personal matter,” Baalke said in a statement. “The 49ers organization both respects and supports Aldon’s decision and commends him for taking responsibility for his actions.

The long-term well-being of our players is paramount and we will stand by Aldon as he works toward addressing this issue.

Due to the private nature of the matter, we will have no further comment.”

His 49ers teammates were trying their best not to let the situation become a distraction.

San Francisco (1-2) has a quick turnaround to face division foe St. Louis on the road Thursday night.

“Coach decided to let him play, and he was out there and made some plays,” safety Donte Whitner said. “I don’t think guys were out there thinking about Aldon being arrested.”

Earlier this month, Smith and former teammate Delanie Walker were named in a lawsuit filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court by a Northern California man who said he was shot at a party at Smith’s house on June 29, 2012.

Safety Johnson’s finger tip severed The ASSOCIATED PRESS BRADENTON, Fla. – The Arizona Cardinals have lost starting outside linebackers Sam Acho and Lorenzo Alexander for the season, and safety Rashad Johnson has lost the tip of a finger for good.

Acho broke a leg and Alexander sustained a season-ending foot injury in Arizona’s 31-7 loss at New Orleans on Sunday.

Johnson doesn’t know how the tip of his left middle finger was severed during the game, but says it was probably the most painful injury of his career. Still, with the finger – now about the same length as his index finger – shaved off and stitched up, there’s a chance he could play Sunday against

Tampa Bay. The Cardinals placed Acho and Alexander on injured reserve Monday and elevated outside linebacker Donte Moch from the practice squad.

Acho broke his left fibula, Alexander tore a ligament on his right foot.

‘Pacman’ in trouble again: At Cincinnati, Bengals cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones was accused by police of making offensive comments while drunk during a traffic stop early Monday and was given a disorderly conduct citation.

Jones, who has had a spate of legal troubles, was arrested around 2:30 a.m. after the vehicle he was in was pulled over for driving 60 mph in a 45 mph zone on a highway in Cincinnati, State Patrol Lt. Anne Ralston said.

The driver was cited for drunken driving, and Jones was cited for disorderly con-

duct. Both charges are misdemeanors.

Jones and the driver were released and have court hearings set for Friday.

Ralston said Jones said something during the traffic stop that was “likely to be offensive or to cause inconvenience, annoyance or alarm to persons of ordinary sensibilities.”

Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning throws a pass Monday against the Oakland Raiders in the first quarter in Denver.

BRONCOS 37, RAIDERS 21

Manning’s 3 TDs help Broncos roll

By EDDIE PELLS The Associated Press DENVER – Peyton Manning slapped his hands together five, six, seven times and barked out the signals. A few seconds later, Wes Welker was all alone, cradling the quarterback’s latest touchdown pass.

All part of another impeccably crafted victory for Manning and the Denver Broncos, who rolled over the Oakland Raiders, 37-21, Monday night.

Denver’s 127 points lead the league and are 31 more than second-place Green Bay. Manning went 32 for 37 for 374 yards and set a few more records while outwitting the overmatched Raiders (1-2).

“You see flashes of good things,” Manning said. “When we’re executing and not making mistakes, we can go the distance. We can go 80 yards, take advantage of a short field.”

Manning’s 12 touchdown passes are one more than Tom Brady’s old record for the first three games, set in 2011. Manning still has yet to throw an interception, which matches a record held by Michael Vick, who also threw 12 touchdowns before his first pick in 2010.

As much as the numbers, it was Manning’s deciphering of the Oakland defense that made jaws drop in this one.

His first touchdown, a 2-yard pass to Eric Decker, came after a subtle play action fake that froze the defense and left Decker wide open in the

back of the end zone.

Manning’s targets for the next two touchdowns – Welker and Julius Thomas – didn’t have defenders within three steps of them. Wide open. A sure sign that Manning had diagnosed the defense he was looking at well before the snap and knew exactly where he wanted to go with the ball.

“All of them did a good job competing,” Manning said of his receivers. “We knew we were in a challenge, because Oakland has good cover corners. Mix up their coverage well. Guys did a good job getting open versus man, and finding holes in the zones. All of them did a good job running with the ball after the catch.”

OK, so the evening wasn’t perfect. There were the five incompletions, although two of them were flat-out drops and another two hit receivers in the hands, but would have been difficult catches. The Broncos settled for three field goals and had to punt once.

Rookie Montee Ball lost another fumble. Denver came a field goal short of reaching 40 points for the third straight game.

And Manning’s prediction that Chris Clark would be a seamless replacement for injured Ryan Clady as his blindside protector didn’t exactly pan out. Lamarr Houston beat Denver’s new starting left tackle badly in the third quarter for a sack and strip that halted a drive that had reached the Raiders’ 13.

Loss of Melton may lead to signing of free agent 1

With Henry Melton through for the year, what’s next for the Bears at the three-technique? Clearly Nate Collins is the next man up and undrafted rookie free agent Zach Minter will get to start dressing Sunday. But the advantage of Collins is he was able to rotate in for either Melton or Stephen Paea at the anchor tackle. Minter may be ready to spell Paea and they’d like him to be a three-technique, but at this point . . . don’t be surprised if general manager Phil Emery is studying street free agents right now.

2

The bigger question may be who replaces Melton in the nickel. The Bears have been lining up the three ends (Julius Peppers, Corey Wootton and Shea McClellin) with Wootton inside next to Melton.

Best guess is Collins and Paea will both get chances to fill that role, with Collins most likely to claim it.

In the very scary statistic category from the Steelers game, if you take away the three huge third-down plays Jay Cutler made in the fourth quarter on the drive that put the game away at 34-23, the Bears were just 2 of 12 on third down the rest of the game.

In many respects, the Bears’ 40-23 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers was their most impressive win of the season, and in many other respects the most frustrating.

Forty points, 75 percent efficiency in the red zone on offense, five takeaways and zero turnovers, two defensive touchdowns, three quarterback sacks and a 27 percent stop rate on third-down efficiency on defense is all pretty heady stuff.

But when your offense manages just 4.3 yards a play and 4.7 a pass play, allows two quarterback sacks and consistent pressure on Jay Cutler and converts just 5 of 15 third downs, and the defense gives up 459 yards (406 through the air) and 8.6 yards a pass play, teams will eventually lose as many games as they win.

Cutler had his least productive game of the year throwing the football, but probably his best game of the three at quarterback. It was a solid B+. He executed the West Coast offense with precision early and then took over the game in the fourth quarter after the Steelers had closed to 27-23.

The 159 total passing yards is all that keeps his grade below an A. The running backs get a B- for being good but not great. Matt Forte’s 55-yard run was one of the biggest plays of the night, but take it away and you’re left with 27 carries for 52 yards rushing.

Blitz pickup was an adventure at times, and Michael Bush is starting to become a bit of a concern with just eight carries for 9 yards and now just 16 carries for 24 yards on the season.

The wideouts and tight ends get a B- as well. Other than the huge catches

by Brandon Marshall and Earl Bennett on the big fourth-quarter third-down plays from Cutler, they combined for 18 catches for just 101 yards.

Marshall had just five catches for 52 yards on eight targets. He caught four for 11 yards other than his one big play and Martellus Bennett managed just two

Bears quarterback Jay Cutler scrambles for a first down Sunday before lowering his shoulder into Steelers safety Robert Golden during the fourth quarter in Pittsburgh. The Bears won, 40-23. catches for 10 yards on five targets.

The offensive line also gets a B- for its part in the 27 rushes that managed just 52 yards other than the big 55-yarder and the role it played in the consistent pressure on Cutler. Clearly the Steelers’ 3-4 was a different challenge for them.

However, B- isn’t a bad grade, and from where this offensive line started, its performance in Pittsburgh was still a lot better than we might have expected just three weeks ago.

The defensive line gets a C+. This could just as easily be a C or C-, as it once again managed no real pressure on Ben Roethlisberger without help from blitzing linebackers or defensive backs, and it offered a few gaping holes in the run game to a team averaging 37.5 yards per game rushing coming in. The Steelers gained 80 on the ground against the Bears.

The only reason the C gets a plus is Julius Peppers’ TD return.

The linebackers get an A. Both Lance Briggs and D.J. Williams were impact

“We had a player hurt,” Trestman said. “And it wouldn’t matter if it was the first player on the team or the 53rd. He had a significant injury, and he was hurting.”

The NFL can be a strange business, both wildly generous and horribly cruel.

One moment, a young man has millions of dollars in his bank account and keys to a Maserati in his pocket.

The next moment, that man is lying on his back on a cool grass field in Pittsburgh, and trainers are huddled all around, and TV is going to commercials.

These are the moments

that players across the league fear most. They stand and look down at their teammate and friend, and deep down inside they know it could have been their ACL, their season, their career.

Marc “It’s sad,” said Bears Trestman wide receiver Earl Bennett, whose locker at Halas Hall is a few feet from Melton’s. “I mean, any time you see a player go down, it’s sad, because you don’t know the extent of the injury. Henry is one of those guys who’s been working hard all offseason. It’s sad to see him go down.”

Bears might evolve into really good team Marc Trestman went all Darwin on us after Sunday night’s game.

“We’re still in this evolutionary process of trying to find out who we are,” the Bears coach said. “… We’re kind of a work in progress, but it’s exciting.’’

They are, and it is.

The Bears are 3-0, even though they haven’t been consistently excellent when they’ve had the ball. Offensively, they are closer to walking upright than dragging their knuckles along the ground.

But they have a ways to go to be the explosive offense Trestman envisions.

What we’re seeing now is an opportunistic offense, which probably sounds patronizing, like a pat on the head and a dismissal. Let’s be clear: It doesn’t matter how you get to 3-0. Demerits and style points don’t exist. The Bears managed 258 total yards in their victory over the Steelers, including 159 through the air.

And it didn’t matter.

They scored when they needed to, most dramatically on a 17-yard connection between Jay Cutler and Earl Bennett late in the fourth quarter.

If you had missed Sunday’s game, saw the 40-23 final score and went only by those ho-hum offensive stats, you would know that, in all likelihood, some of the points the Bears dropped on Pittsburgh came from somewhere other than the offense. In other words, you’ve heard this story before.

But it’s a good story. The Bears’ defense forced five turnovers Sunday and scored two touchdowns to help put the game away.

Imagine if the Bears’ offense ever catches up with the defense before Charles Tillman, Julius Peppers and Lance Briggs come down with age-relat-

VIEWS Rick Morrissey ed complaints. Is that like imagining the Cubs winning the World Series?

No. A good offense isn’t a farfetched dream. It seems – this is where the dramatic music would come in – possible.

The Bears will be without defensive tackle Henry Melton the rest of the season because of a torn ACL. Nate Collins will step in. I’m guessing there’s not panic in the streets of Chicago over that, no matter how good Melton is.

If the injured player were Brandon Marshall, the gnashing of teeth would be in full grind.

There were long stretches Sunday when the offense couldn’t do anything. Part of that had to do with the challenges of the Steelers’ 3-4 defense.

Part of it had to do with the Bears turning as conservative as a banker’s tie rack after jumping to a 24-3 lead.

If you think it was hard watching the offense pantomiming super slo-mo, imagine the frustration of playing in it during that dry spell Sunday night. Patience is a virtual impossibility for Cutler.

“It’s not something I’m used to,” he said. “We have been preaching ball security a lot. It was just that type of game. …

We were sitting pretty good early on, and we didn’t want to give them anything else.”

Chicago has been teased like this before. Remember, the Bears opened last season with a 41-21 victory over the Colts, with Cutler throwing for 333 yards and two touchdowns. It looked like Char-

players totaling all three Bears QB sacks between them and a forced fumble apiece. James Anderson also played well with five tackles, one tackle for a loss and a fumble recovery.

The secondary gets a C+ for basically the same reason the defensive line did.

The touchdown is better than nice, it’s a game-changer, but is allowing Roethlisberger to pass for 406 yards even worthy of an average, which is what a C suggests? This must get better.

Finally, a C+ for the special teams, too. While the return game took a night off, Adam Podlesh’s 46.3 net punting and improved punt and kick coverage balanced that out.

Strange, I know, but by a small margin these are the lowest grades I’ve given in their most impressive win. But really, where would they have been without Briggs, Williams and Cutler?

Now, it’s time for the next man up.

In this case, that man is Nate Collins, a 6-foot-2, 296-pound defensive tackle who has yet to make a start in 25 career games with Henry Jacksonville and the Bears.

Melton Replacing Collins as a valued backup could be Zach Minter, an undrafted rookie who last played for the Montana State Bobcats in the Big Sky Conference.

As for Melton, the only certainty is a long, grueling injury rehabilitation. If all goes well, he should be ready for training

camp next season, although it’s anyone’s guess as to which team he’ll be playing for because his contract expires at the end of this season.

“He’s terribly disappointed,” Trestman said. “We’ve just got to let this settle for a while. We lost a very good player. ...

“We’re not happy about it, but this is the downside of the National Football League.

Players are going to get hurt, and the team’s got to respond.”

And the coach has to lead with a heart as well as a headset.

lie Brown was finally going to kick the football, but offensive coordinator Mike Tice eventually intervened.

The Bears went on to finish 28th in total offense.

This looks different, more under control and less fragile. For one thing, Cutler is not under constant pressure. In three games, he has been sacked a total of three times. Last year, he was sacked 38 times in 15 games, which doesn’t sound great unless you compare it to 2010, when he was sacked 52 times. So far, rookies Kyle Long and Jordan Mills have held up well on the right side of the line.

And Cutler has shown an ability to turn it on in the fourth quarter this season. His defense gives him a chance to do that.

Major Wright intercepted a Ben Roethlisberger pass and returned it for a touchdown Sunday. Peppers scored on a fumble that Briggs forced. That sort of thing allows an offense to progress at its own speed.

“Third game in this offense, I think we are all still learning a little bit, but it’s a lot easier to make corrections after a win than after a loss,” Cutler said.

This is true. Everybody’s happy. The NFC North doesn’t look menacing at the moment, though we’ll find out more when the Bears play the 2-1 Lions on the road Sunday.

Your team is undefeated, Bears fans, but this might be a good time for a reminder. Evolution takes time.

Tiger Woods won five times this year, but he isn’t considered a lock to be voted player of the year by his peers.

ON GOLF Doug Ferguson performances. Needing nothing short of a win to be the first player with money titles on both sides of the Atlantic in the same year, he birdied the first six holes on the back nine and shot 64 to do just that.

Jim Furyk won in 2010 with only three victories and one other significant trophy – the FedEx Cup. Phil Mickelson won the Masters that year, but the other majors went to players who weren’t even PGA Tour members at the time (Graeme McDowell, Louis Oosthuizen, Martin Kaymer).

Woods won in 2009 with seven wins and a sweep of all the other awards (Vardon, money title).

To be sure, Mickelson and Adam Scott could have made a convincing case by winning the Tour Championship. That would have given either of them three wins, including a major and the FedEx Cup (Mickelson would have needed some help for the latter).

But they didn’t.

One of the more famous sayings in golf is that the scorecard has only a number, not pictures.

These are the numbers: • Woods led the league with five wins. He won the money title by more than $2 million. He won the Vardon Trophy for lowest adjusted scoring average.

• Scott won the Masters and The Barclays, which arguably has the strongest field in golf. He finished in the top 5 at two other majors.

• Mickelson won the British Open and the Phoenix Open. He was runner-up in the U.S. Open.

Stenson also is on the ballot with two FedEx Cup playoff wins and the trophy itself (along with the $10 million bonus). He finished in the top 3 at two other majors.

Two great wins and zero majors don’t cut it. Matt Kuchar is also on the ballot, but only for balance.

He had his best year ever with two

wins. That will have to do.

Adding pictures to the scorecard is the only thing that could change the vote.

Mickelson came within in a dimple of 59 in the Phoenix Open.

He had the lead on the back nine at Merion and was runner-up at the U.S. Open for the sixth time. He bounced back to win the British Open – the major not even Mickelson thought he could win – with what his peers consider one of the greatest closing rounds in a major.

It left him one leg short of the Grand Slam, though winning on a links course already defines him as a complete player even without a U.S. Open.

Scott became the first Aussie in a green jacket and he was leading the British Open on the back nine until making four straight bogeys.

He was poised for a run at the Tour Championship until getting sick at the wrong time.

Both are great stories. But did they have better years?

Here are a few things to keep in mind. This is a vote of the players, and there’s no telling how they define the award. Best player or best year? Do they have an agenda?

Is it a popularity contest? Still baffling is Rickie Fowler winning rookie of the year in 2010 over Rory McIlroy, even though McIlroy won at Quail Hollow, Fowler didn’t win at all and neither reached the Tour Championship.

Is it a sentimental pick for Mickelson, the greatest to have never won player of the year? Is there resentment toward Woods for how he handled the penalty given to him at Conway Farms for his ball moving?

The tour won’t release results, only a winner. And it won’t reveal voter turnout. Most of these guys only pay attention to their tee times.

One final thought as it relates to Woods: If his record this year belonged to any other player, would this even be a debate?

BETTING ODDS

PREPS

Tiger competes against his past ATLANTA – Tiger Woods always has been measured against Jack Nicklaus and his 18 majors, and most recently Sam Snead and his 82 PGA Tour victories.

Now he’s being measured against himself.

And it’s not a fair fight.

The PGA Tour sent out its awards ballot Monday to those players eligible to vote. The winners are to be announced Friday.

Woods should be a lock for player of the year, provided he is measured against the other four names on the ballot instead of the previous seasons when he won the award.

He won five times this year, and the only tournament that could be classified as a medium-strength field was at Torrey Pines. Woods won two World Golf Championships, at Doral and Firestone. He won The Players Championship on perhaps his least favorite course on tour. And he won Bay Hill. The world ranking points he earned from those five wins alone were more than any player has earned all year except for Henrik Stenson.

But he didn’t win a major, the very standard by which Woods measures a great season. And there was nothing particularly memorable about his wins, except that two of them were on a Monday and all of them were on courses where he had won before. In fact, Woods couldn’t even remember where he won. It was a harmless oversight, but no less amusing, when Woods last week at East Lake put himself down for winning Memorial instead of Torrey Pines. Nice problem to have.

Woods already has won the award 10 times. His record this year is worse than every season he won the award except 2003. So this has been a great season by any other comparison except with himself.

Three of the past four winners did not win a major.

Luke Donald won in 2011 with only two victories, one of them at Disney. He also won the money title and the Vardon Trophy, and his win at Disney was one of clutch

Still on his knees, Martin held the ball over his head in jubilation.

Jason Grili grabbed Martin, having escaped with his 32nd save in 34 chances.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – The Pittsburgh Pirates are headed to the playoffs for the first time in 21 years, clinching at least a National League wild card Monday night when they beat the Cubs, 2-1, and the Washington Nationals lost to St. Louis.

It will be Pittsburgh’s first trip to the postseason since Barry Bonds, Jim Leyland and Co. won three straight NL East titles from 1990-92.

Bonds then left for San Francisco as a free agent, and the small-budget Pirates piled up 20 consecutive losing records – the longest streak in the four major professional sports.

Starling Marte hit a tiebreaking homer in the ninth inning at Wrigley Field, and the Pirates threw out a runner at the plate for the final out.

The Pirates doused each other in champagne in the visitors’ clubhouse once St. Louis’ 4-3 win over the Nationals became final.

The Pirates and Reds, both 90-67, trail St. Louis by two games in the NL Central with five to go.

The Pirates snapped a 1-all tie when Marte sent a drive off Kevin Gregg (2-6) with two outs in the ninth into the left field bleachers.

They preserved the victory on the final out when center fielder Andrew McCutchen picked up Ryan Sweeney’s bloop single after the ball hit off right fielder Marlon Byrd’s glove and threw to first baseman Justin Morneau, positioned just in front of home plate. Morneau made the relay to catcher Russell Martin, who applied the tag on Nate

At Chicago, Jose Quintana pitched into the eighth inning, and rookie Marcus Semien hit his first homer to lead the Sox over Toronto.

Quintana (9-6), who entered the game with the most no-decisions in the American League at 17, allowed two runs on five hits in 7 1/3 innings. Addison Reed pitched the ninth inning to record his 39th save of the season.

Toronto starter J.A. Happ (4-7) threw 110 pitches in his five innings, allowing three runs and eight hits.

Semien’s homer in the second inning opened the scoring. With Dayan Viciedo on first, Semien hit an 0-2 pitch from Happ down the line and well over the fence for a 2-0 lead. Semien was called up Sept. 4.

Baltimore fell five games behind the Indians with six games to go for both teams.

Chris Davis hit his major league-best 52nd homer for Baltimore.

Rangers 12, Astros 0: At Arlington, Texas, Alex Rios hit for the cycle, and Derek Holland struck out nine in his second shutout of the season as Texas started its final push for a playoff spot.

The Rangers pulled within a game of idle Cleveland for the second AL wild-card berth with six games remaining.

The first cycle of Rios’ career was the seventh in Rang-

ers’ history. Adrian Beltre was the last to do it, last Aug. 24 against Seattle.

It was the third cycle in the majors this year – Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels on May 21 and the Astros’ Brandon Barnes on July 19, both against Seattle.

NATIONAL LEAGUE Reds 3, Mets 2 (10 inn.): At Cincinnati, Shin-Soo Choo drove in the winning run with a single off the wall in the 10th inning, and Cincinnati secured a playoff spot after beating New York.

The second-place Reds clinched at least an NL wild

card when Washington lost to St. Louis. Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker said there would be no celebration yet, not with the NL Central title in play.

Cardinals 4, Nationals 3: At St. Louis, Carlos Beltran homered, Adam Wainwright earned his 18th win and St. Louis eliminated Washington from playoff contention.

Brewers 5, Braves 0: At Atlanta, Marco Estrada pitched two-hit ball for seven innings and Milwaukee belted three homers against Atlanta.

Marlins 4, Phillies 0: At Miami, Nathan Eovaldi pitched into the eighth inning to help Miami blank Philadelphia.

Learn to take a healthy stand While people tend to look at seat-time as time to relax, your body doesn’t see it that way. Too much sitting, now referred to as “sitting disease” by experts studying it, can wreak havoc on your body’s metabolic system.

Sitting too much can increase your risk for obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, depression and a cascade of other health ills.

So what can you do?

Find ways to stand more.

Global studies show, on average, we sit 7.7 hours a day, and some results estimate people sit up to 15 hours a day. Calculate your daily sitting time and try to reduce it by standing up every hour. Stand while you are on your computer or when you take a call. If at work, stretch your legs under the desk. Do calf raises.

Walk to talk to a coworker or friend instead of sending an email when you can.

Conduct walking meetings.

Be creative and find ways to sit less.

Burn more calories.

Yes, standing burns more calories than sitting and can increase energy, tone muscles, improve posture; increase blood flow and ramp up metabolism. For a full day of work (8 hours), standing might mean 200 or more calories burned.

Cross-training tips Exercises keep you fit while minimizing the risk of injury

By WAYNE L. WESTCOTT More Content Now Although you may not be interested in doing a triathlon, the three activities – running, cycling and swimming – make for excellent cross-training exercises.

Cross training refers to different aerobic activities that provide essentially the same cardiovascular conditioning benefits. However, integrating three different endurance exercises into your training programs reduces the risk of both physiological and psychological problems, namely overuse injuries and boredom.

While running and cycling both involve the leg muscles, running emphasizes the rear thigh (hamstrings) muscles, whereas cycling emphasizes the front thigh (quadriceps) muscles.

Also, running requires weightbearing exercise from a standing posture, whereas cycling requires weight-supported exercise from a sitting position. These activities are therefore highly compatible and complementary from a muscle-use perspective.

Swimming involves both the upper body and legs, but the majority of propulsive power is produced by the chest, back and arm muscles.

Unlike running and cycling, swimming is performed from a horizontal body position and in a fluid medium.

Swimming and cycling

eliminate the landing forces and shock absorption associated with running, which further enhances their value as cross-training activities.

When the water becomes too cold for swimming, substitute rowing, canoeing or kayaking.

As a general guideline, I recommend three cross-training sessions a week for beginning exercisers and up to six cross-training sessions a week for more advanced exercisers.

For example, a sensible beginning fitness program may feature cycling on Mondays, swimming on Wednesdays and running on Fridays. A more advanced cross-training schedule may include cycling on Mondays and Thursdays, swimming on Tuesdays and Fridays, and running on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

day and in shaded areas whenever possible. Avoid running on the sides of roads and beaches. These sloped surfaces place uneven stress on feet, legs and hips, which increases injury potential. If you run with a friend, your running pace should permit you to converse in short sentences. If you can’t talk, you are running faster than necessary to promote physical fitness.

Swimming tips Whether you prefer pools, lakes or ocean waters, swim with a partner whenever possible. Also, swimming in shallow (4 to 5 feet) water is always safer than swimming in deep (overhead) water. Swimming parallel to shore makes more sense than swimming out and back in large bodies of water.

Unlike running and cycling, swimmers have several stroke options for exercising in the water. While the crawl stroke is most effective and efficient, periodically interspersing periods of backstroke, breaststroke or sidestroke can make the swimming session more enjoyable by changing the pace, as well as by involving different movement patterns and muscle groups.

Other than a bathing suit, goggles may be your only other investment.

Running tips To reduce shock to the feet, legs and lower back, do most of your running on softer surfaces, such as wooded paths, stone dust jogging paths, grassy athletic fields or composition tracks.

Also, invest in well-designed running shoes that fit properly (loose in the toe box and snug in the heel) and provide appropriate motion control. Knowledgeable running shoe store personnel can advise you on the best shoe for your foot type.

Try to run during cooler times of

Cycling tips Although more expensive than a pair of running shoes, a good bicycle is basically a one-time investment that pays years of health/fitness benefits if used properly and regularly. Most cycle shop owners are experts at selecting the bicycle that best fits your cycling needs and body dimensions. Essential cycling accessories include a well-fitted helmet, water bottle, padded bike shorts, tire pump, spare tubes and (possibly) biking shoes. Be sure to cycle safely, complying with all traffic rules, signs and signals.

If you prefer off-road cycling, you will definitely exercise your upper-body muscles along with your legs, and you will typically travel more varied terrain.

However, you have a higher risk of spills, so learn the ropes from experienced trail riders before venturing into wooded areas by yourself.

Wherever you ride, avoid cycling when it is dim, dark or raining. Dry, daylight riding is definitely more safe and enjoyable.

Create a stand-up desk.

You can create a do-ityourself desk where you can stand up, or check out standing workstations you can buy online.

Sit less even if you work out regularly. You won’t

combat sitting disease with gym time. Studies show more exercise time may not even cancel out the damage to your body if you sit for eight hours after your workout. The key is to find pockets of time in your day to move.

CHILDREN’S HEALTH

Evaluate sports concussions The American Academy of Neurology, an authority on sports concussion, is encouraging athletes, coaches, athletic trainers, parents and school staff to pay attention to the signs of concussion as students head back to school and onto the sporting fields.

The AAN recently updated its guidelines on evaluating and managing concussion at www.aan.com/concussion.

SENIOR HEALTH

Caregivers must protect health About 42 million Americans provide unpaid care to an ill or disabled adult, and new research shows the stress associated with this responsibility can have a negative effect on a person’s health.

With the demand for caregivers expected to increase as baby boomers reach age 65, it’s important caregivers know how to prevent their important role from deteriorating their own health.

Practice healthy habits, make personal time a priority and don’t ignore depression.

Are you modeling good behavior for your teenager?

Being a parent isn’t always easy. When raising children, Mom and Dad play many different roles.

Parenting adolescents reaches yet another level. At that time there are many new concerns, some of them the parents have never faced.

They include worrying about their choice of friends, drugs and behavioral and sexual issues, just to name a few.

Another parental concern during their children’s late

VIEWS Dr. Murray Feingold teenage years is when they start driving a car. As soon as the engine starts and their child drives away from the house, parents start to worry.

Parents also continually chide their youngsters about the dangers of engaging in distracting activities while

driving. However, a recent study showed parents are guilty of doing the same thing.

In this study, parents were asked about distracting activities, such as talking on cellphones, surfing their iPhone, using the navigation system, or reaching for an object, including their child in the back seat.

Results were disturbing.

Almost 90 percent of the parents admitted taking part in at least one distracting

activity while driving with their child in the car during the prior month.

Talking on the cellphone was the most common distracting activity.

Parents also were asked if they were involved in any motor vehicle accident during this time period.

Those engaged in distracting behaviors had a higher incidence of such accidents.

Besides providing advice on many subjects and playing many roles while raising

their children, parents also must be good role models.

That means, parents should practice what they preach including avoiding distractions while driving that can potentially harm not only themselves, but also their children.

Facts aren’t in on e-cigarettes Not enough studies completed on potential risks, benefits

By CHRISTIE ASCHWANDEN The Washington Post When a friend sitting at my kitchen table pulled out what looked like a cigarette, I was about to direct her to the front porch. But then I realized that what she was blowing was an odorless vapor, not smoke. It was an electronic cigarette.

Electronic cigarettes come in a variety of shapes and models, but most consist of a battery, a heating element, and a liquid that contains nicotine, propylene glycol and flavorings. The heating element warms and aerosolizes the liquid, turning it into a vapor the user inhales.

Smoking an e-cigarette (called “vaping”), gives users a nicotine hit without exposing them, or those around them, to tobacco smoke. The lack of odor is one of the biggest selling points, said Craig Weiss, chief executive of NJoy electronic cigarettes.

Although e-cigarette makers do not make safety or health claims, many users assume that eliminating the smoke of burning tobacco also eliminates the harm.

“There’s no question that e-cigarettes deliver fewer [toxic substances] than conventional cigarettes, but the question of how much less is still not clear,” said Stanton Glantz, director of the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at the University of California at San Francisco. Although sales of e-cigarettes are expected to reach $1 billion this year, with many different brands available, vaping is new enough that there haven’t been many studies done yet – certainly none of the largescale, randomized trials that would be necessary to offer conclusive answers about the safety of e-cigarettes, Glantz said.

While there’s little doubt electronic cigarettes expose users to far fewer carcinogens and irritants than conventional cigarettes, the ingredients found in the liquids can vary greatly from product to product, said behavioral scientist Alexander

Prokhorov at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

“The companies improvise to come up with new flavorings, and every time they introduce a new flavor, you don’t really know what’s in it,” he said.

An analysis by researchers at the FDA found very low levels of nitrosamines, ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol – chemicals associated with cancer and other health risks – in some electronic cigarette products, but the levels were a tiny fraction of what a smoker would get from a tobacco cigarette.

Unlike tobacco cigarettes, electronic cigarettes aren’t subject to regulation in the United States, which means their ingredients aren’t standardized. The FDA is working on a proposed rule to regulate the devices, agency spokesperson Jenny Haliski wrote in a prepared statement. Although the FDA did not provide a timeline for regulation, Glantz suspects political pressure makes regulation unlikely to happen anytime soon.

For now, researchers are trying to get a handle on the risks and benefits of e-cigarettes.

“It’s a new product, and there’s still a lot we don’t know,” said Pallav Pokhrel, a public health scientist at the University of Hawaii Cancer Center. For instance, it’s unclear what effects electronic cigarettes may have on smoking initiation among youth or cessation among current smokers.

Some electronic cigarettes allow users to adjust the amount of nicotine they’re getting, and even adjust it down to zero over time, and it seems plausible a device that lets people reduce the amount of nicotine they’re consuming could help them cut their dependence, Prokhorov said. However, right now there aren’t good studies to show they outperform existing nicotine cessation products, nor are they FDA-approved for this purpose.

A newly designed plate is propped up at the dining hall at the University of New Hampshire in Durham, N.H. The plates are printed with dietary guidelines in hopes students will choose healthier foods.

Plates guide students University’s new dishes promote healthy eating on campus

By HOLLY RAMER The Associated Press DURHAM, N.H. – They may not be binging on broccoli, but some University of New Hampshire students are at least pausing before they fill up on fried food, thanks to dishware designed to remind them about healthy options.

Two years after the federal government abandoned the food pyramid as a symbol for healthful eating and adopted an image of a plate instead, the university has gone a step further by printing dietary guidelines directly on plates used in campus dining halls.

The so-called Wildcat Plates, named after the school’s mascot, offer a bit more detail than the “My Plate” graphic promoted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. While the USDA image shows a plate divided into four segments labeled “fruits,” “vegetables,” “grains,” and “proteins,” the Wildcat plate specifies “lean protein” and “whole grains” and offers suggestions such as “try whole wheat pasta, brown rice or quinoa.”

Like schools around the country, UNH has revamped

its dining halls in recent years to add healthier – some would even say gourmet – offerings.

The university has set a goal of becoming the nation’s healthiest campus by 2020 and believes the new plates are a helpful tool for students who may be away from home and making their own food choices for the first time, said Jo Porter, deputy director of the New Hampshire Institute for Health Policy and Practice.

“They’re moving from a place where sometimes their dining experiences at home were kind of dictated by their parents, and now they have a lot of freedom, which is great in some ways, but this becomes one of the helpful reminders for how to eat well,” she said. “Some people will use them to get kind of a sense of what a healthy plate looks like, and then ingrain that in their everyday living and not need that plate every single time.”

The plates, made of melamine, are mixed in with the university’s standard ceramic plates, with about 1,300 circulating through three dining halls that serve 12,000 meals a day. During one recent lunch hour, some

students piled their plates with veggies, while others reached for grilled cheese, pasta and sausage. Freshman Mike Carbone covered the fruit and vegetable portions of his plate with fried onion rings and the protein section with grilled chicken. There was a pile of chicken nuggets in the middle, and blobs of ketchup and mustard in the grain section.

“It’s not a very nutritious lunch, but I’m drinking water,” he said.

Carbone, 19, said he does try to eat healthily but said he pays no attention to the plates.

Sophomore Nicole Grote said while she doesn’t match her food to the plates, they’ve made her more aware of portion sizes, and in general, she thinks the university is taking the right approach.

“I think it makes sense,” said Grote, who stays away from both sugar and dairy products. “People should eat healthy.”

Peter Heislein, a junior, said the plates have prompted him to choose an apple instead of french fries on occasion, but they have not been a major influence on his diet. And his main reason for

preferring the plates had more to do with how they emerge from the dishwasher than the healthy message.

“I wish it was better than this, but I like them because they’re not searing hot like the ceramic plates,” he said.

“It does make a little [health] conscious, but not a ton.”

Dining hall manager David Hill said he has seen some students taking the plates seriously, while others ignore them. It’s all part of the challenge of keeping up with students’ changing tastes while also promoting health, he said.

“We’re always trying to infuse more healthy options as a choice, but we don’t impose it on people,” he said. “That’s really our strategy: to have a balance.”

A number of versions of the plates are available commercially, and they’re often used as teaching tools, said Dr. Robert Post, acting executive director at the USDA’s Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion. He did not know of other schools that have been serving food on the plates like UNH but said many are using the image in banners and posters.

Overprotective parents are Biofeedback can help driving daughter out the door relieve chronic pain, stress Dear Abby: I’m a 23-yearold woman who still lives at home. I have been working for the past five years and have saved enough to live comfortably on my own.

Unfortunately, my parents have forbidden me to do it because they think I’m being manipulated into it by my boyfriend, that I just want to “do whatever I want” and be out until late (although I’m rarely up past 9 p.m. and they know it), and because I “can’t stand them” anymore.

I have no privacy. My mail is opened “mistakenly” and my calls are listened in on even when I politely – and sometimes angrily – ask them not to. They have even imposed a rule that I must show them my bank balance weekly.

They have told me I will not leave the house without being married first. I would like to live on my own before I actually marry so I can experience what it’s like. This is something I have always wanted to do. If I do move out, they say I’ll “bring shame and embarrassment” to the family.

There seems to be a double standard going on here because my older brother has his girlfriend sleep over. How can I accommodate my par-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips ents without being disowned?

– Feeling Helpless In Illinois Dear Feeling Helpless: Your parents have chosen to ignore that you are an adult, self-supporting and entitled to make your own choices. They may be well-meaning, but they are extremely heavy-handed.

Their hyper-vigilance – opening your mail, eavesdropping on your phone calls and insisting on checking your bank balance weekly – is over the top. They would like you to be “safely” married before you leave their protection.

Is their problem that they disapprove of your boyfriend?

If you get a place of your own, do you plan on moving him in? If that’s not the case, there is no reason why your living independently might shame or embarrass them.

Not knowing your parents, I can’t judge whether their threat to disown you is serious or not. However, if it is, realize it’s a form of blackmail, and you will have to decide which is more important – your freedom or their support.

Dear Abby: “Lights Out in

Federal Way, Wash.” (Aug. 13) asked if it was a “sign” that her deceased parents were watching over her when streetlights would go out as she drove under them on her way home.

I understand your desire to give encouragement to someone who has lost her loved ones, but don’t you know that many streetlights are light-activated so that after headlights hit them in just the right way they will turn off? After you pass under them, it becomes dark enough again and they will turn back on within a few minutes.

While I’m sure that given the opportunity this girl’s parents would watch over her, the streetlights she described have nothing to do with the paranormal but have a scientific and logical explanation. – Someone’s Watching

In Guilford, Mo. Dear Watching: While many readers shared similar experiences, the majority had a logical explanation as you did. However, I still feel that if what she’s experiencing brings her comfort, the important thing is what she chooses to believe.

Dear Dr. K: You’ve mentioned biofeedback as a treatment option for several conditions, but I still don’t understand what it is. Could you explain?

Dear Reader: Biofeedback is a technique that helps you monitor and control your body’s responses. By learning to control certain functions, you can improve your medical condition, relieve chronic pain, reduce stress or improve your physical or mental performance.

During biofeedback training, a therapist attaches sensors to your body. The type and placement of sensors varies according to what is being measured. Sensors can detect changes in everything from your heart rate, skin temperature or muscle tension to your brain-wave patterns.

The machine then translates its measurements into a form of immediate “feedback.” You might see the feedback as a blinking light, a beeping sound, a balloon or a graph. (I’ve put an illustration of what a biofeedback setup for urinary incontinence might look like on my website.)

Let’s say your goal is to reduce neck, shoulder and upper back pain. Biofeed-

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff back can help you recognize when you tense the muscles in your back, neck, shoulders or head. It can help you relax them before you experience pain, or it can help you learn to relax muscles that are already in pain.

Or say you are learning to control your breathing when you are in pain. A balloon on the screen of the biofeedback machine may represent your breathing rate. You can learn to inflate and deflate the balloon at the target rate.

As you gain control over the target body function, you’ll be weaned off the machine.

After each session, you’ll get an assignment to practice at home. Regular practice is essential to success.

Biofeedback is effective for certain types of urinary and fecal incontinence. It helps with anal pain related to excessive muscle contractions and constipation caused by problems with the muscles in the anus. It also helps people who suffer from Raynaud’s phenomenon, tension headaches and fibromyalgia.

We’re in the early stages of a technology related to biofeedback. Body sensors, and the machine they talk to, are electronic devices.

Like all electronics – from computers to smartphones – devices keep getting smaller and more powerful. Already there are sensors that attach to the skin and are so small you barely notice them.

They send messages about your body through wireless signals to machines that interpret them.

Some experts predict people with certain chronic illnesses will soon be constantly monitored, day and night. The illnesses include irregular heart rhythms and epilepsy, for example. The monitoring will spot early warning signs and collect information that affects treatment.

It may sound a little like Big Brother, but it could become a valuable aid in diagnosing and treating disease. When the evidence rolls in, we’ll know what type of constant monitoring has health benefits.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

Alexandre Dumas, the father, not his son, said, “All human wisdom is summed up in two words -- wait and hope.”

At the bridge table, one wishes that all wisdom isn’t summed up in two words -play and hope. Yes, you will often be hoping for the best, but ideally you ind a 100 percent line of play or defense.

In yesterday’s deal, declarer had two chances to make his contract. Today’s is similar. South is in six hearts.

West leads the club queen.

What are declarer’s two chances? How should he play to combine them?

North’s two-no-trump response was the Jacoby Forcing Raise, guaranteeing at least four-card heart support and game-going values.

South’s three-spade rebid indicated a singleton (or void) in that suit. Then, after two control-bids (cue-bids), North made a very aggressive jump to slam.

If you bid the spots off the cards, you had better play them off, too -- and get lucky.

South can see two possible losers: one diamond and one club. He has only 11 top

tricks: one spade, six hearts, one diamond, two clubs and a spade ruff in South, the shorter trump hand. Declarer’s irst thought is probably that the diamond inesse needs to work. But he might also ind clubs 3-3. And that should be tried irst.

South takes the irst trick, draws trumps, and plays two more rounds of clubs. Here, they divide evenly and declarer can claim, stating that he will discard one of dummy’s diamonds on his last club. But if the clubs were not 3-3, the diamond inesse would still be available.
