Steam comes out the end of the boom of a 1923 Type A Erie steam shovel operated by Liam Dancey, 18, of Sycamore on Thursday at the Northern Illinois Steam Power Club’s Steam Show and Threshing Bee at Taylor Marshall Farm in Sycamore. The machine belongs to the Fruit family of Kirkland, and Dancey has been operating it at the show for more than seven years. Dancey admitted he was bit by the steam bug at an early age.

‘BIT BY THE STEAM BUG’ Coal-fired farm implements on display at steam show

YCAMORE – The steam bug bit Liam Dancey before he could tie his shoes. Or, as some would say, it tackled him.

Dancey, an 18-year-old Sycamore resident, has run a 1923 steam shovel at the Northern Illinois’ Steam Power Club’s Steam Show and Threshing Bee in Sycamore for eight years. There, he’s part of a proud crowd keeping the agricultural tradition alive.

“I think of this as industrial archeology,” Dancey said. “This is a huge part of our heritage. It’s a huge part of Americana. It was born here.”

And he’ll show off his knowledge of the steam shovel again at the annual event, which runs from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday through Sunday at the Taylor Marshall Farm at 27707 Lukens Road, outside Sycamore. Buildings open at 8:30 a.m. Admission costs $7 and children 12 and younger get in free.

DeKALB – When Amy Doll introduced herself as the new superintendent of recreation and facilities for the DeKalb Park District, she marked a shift in district administration.

Three of the five top administrators for the DeKalb Park District have changed in the past year for various reasons.

From those that have yet to start to those who have been with the district for decades, they all say they’re looking forward.

“It was part of the appeal [of the] job to be able to say, ‘Lets look at where we are and get to build from there,’ ” Doll said after Executive Director Jason Mangum introduced her during Thursday’s meeting of the DeKalb Park Board.

With an annual salary of $65,000, Doll will be in charge of the overall operation of recreation, aquatics and athletic programs and special events, as well as marketing. She starts Sept. 2.

Doll, 38, comes to DeKalb after three years as the aquatic director of the YMCA in Freeport and 10 years with the Champaign Park District.

She has a bachelor’s degree in math and a master’s degree in recreation administration from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Park Board members created the position this year at the suggestion of Ray Ochromowicz, who served as interim executive director from January to June.

ANALYSIS

Police images fuel outrage in St. Louis and beyond The ASSOCIATED PRESS FERGUSON, Mo. – The images were reminiscent of a war zone: Helmeted officers pointing weapons from armored trucks, flash grenades lighting the night sky and tear gas exploding in crowded streets.

The ugly clashes between police and protesters in this St. Louis suburb fueled a torrent of criticism and raised questions about whether the officers’ tactics were inflaming the same violence they aimed to suppress after the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager.

The repeated scenes of police officers wearing military-style camouflage and gas masks and training their rifles on unarmed civilians –

some holding their hands up – looked to critics more like an Army trying to quell a revolution than a police department trying to keep the peace in a small suburb.

“It’s clear what is going on in Ferguson is a complete, hyper-exaggerated, hysterical response on the part of law enforcement,” said Thomas Nolan, a former Boston police officer and criminal justice professor at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh. “It’s clear that there is no one in charge and no one to corral the officers ... and restrain them from engaging in an unprecedented show of brutal force against civilians. It’s horrifying and shameful and a disgrace.”

On Thursday, Gov. Jay Nixon announced that the Missouri State High-

way Patrol would take over supervising security in Ferguson. He said the change was intended to ensure “that we use force only when necessary, that we step back a little bit.”

Nixon’s move, along with comments from a wide range of political figures calling for calm, came after protests escalated late Wednesday into smoky chaos. Police lobbed tear gas to repel a crowd of about 150 protesters, some of whom police say had thrown Molotov cocktails and rocks at officers.

It was the fourth straight day of street confrontations spurred by Saturday’s fatal shooting of the 18-yearold by a white police officer.

Darkness at the edge of … everything You couldn’t have scripted a worse Monday morning omen: the coffee maker clogged up, causing it to leak hot grounds and coffee all over.

But the rest of Monday was OK, so

by Monday evening I had forgotten the coffee maker.

Monday evening was great. That storm brought cool, clear weather. I attended an event that was more pleasant and shorter than I thought it would be.

That meant there was time to catch the last part of my kid’s gymnastics practice at Energym Sports Campus, itself a happy place. An awesome song was playing as I drove to Energym, and my wife was happy to see me.

Then she told me, gently, that Robin Williams had committed suicide, and the happiness disintegrated.

I spent a few minutes trying not to burst into tears in front of mostly strangers, although by that time, others were talking about it. So I guess crying would have been an OK response.

My next inclination was inappropriate for someone who spent his career struggling with sobriety and making us laugh. I wanted to get drunk and break things.

That impulse has subsided, but I still walk around shaky. One of the worst flavors of grief is that phenomenon of the water seeming calm, and next thing you know, you’re pounded by a giant wave that comes from nowhere.

I had never studied Williams’

THE FINE LINE Jason Akst personal life and didn’t know about his longtime battle with depression and substance abuse. I don’t know if knowing would have made me feel less gut-kicked when I learned of his death.

His talent was beyond dispute. He was funnier than people knew how to grasp. Comedian Norm MacDonald called him “the funniest man in the world,” and nobody’s arguing. As a dramatic actor, he was equally skilled, earning an Oscar for “Good Will Hunting” and other accolades.

On Tuesday morning, we were watching YouTube clips of his work, and we realized our DVD collection has neither “Good Will Hunting” nor “Dead Poets Society,” so we ordered them from Amazon.com.

We’re waiting because Amazon ran out of stock.

Lots of entertainers have died in my adulthood, but few have hurt this bad.

I’m not sure why. I remember feeling similarly when guitar virtuoso Stevie Ray Vaughan died at 35 in 1990.

Some useful things – I can’t bring myself to call them good things – are coming from Mr. Williams’ death.

More people are beginning to realize that depression includes every demographic. It’s a big club.

And more people are realizing that

depression isn’t a weakness or hypochondria or lack of faith. It’s a medical condition, a prevalent one affecting maybe as many as 1 in 10 people.

But I wish that one of the brightest and best had not died for this conversation to gain more space in the public sphere.

It’s also a chance for journalism to do better, although early reports are discouraging.

A friend posted a screen capture of the ABC News Los Angeles Web site on Facebook. The bottom of the screen quotes Mr. Williams’ publicist saying the family is grieving and is asking for privacy during this very difficult time.

The top of the screen shows a big, hyperlinked banner that says, “Watch live: Aerials of Robin Williams’ home.”

ABC News apologized Tuesday morning in a statement. “When we realized there was no news value to the live stream, we took it down immediately. Our intention was not to be insensitive to his family, friends and fans, and for that we apologize.”

Me, I would have avoided the aerials altogether.

Rest in peace, Mr. Williams.

Ill. company testing market for carp

@dailychronicle

By JIM SUHR The Associated Press GRAFTON – When they arrive at the processing plant, the fish that have been cursed as a menace to American lakes and rivers are raked onto a conveyer belt, some of them still flopping.

Brought by the boatload to this facility north of St. Louis, the Asian carp quickly meet a gruesome fate: They are ground to a bloody pulp in a maze of machines that churn their bony bodies into dehydrated meal and fish oil.

A company called American Heartland Fish Products is the latest to venture into the small but growing business of carp-rendering, and their experiment offers another test of whether private enterprise can help reduce invasive species by turning them into food, be it for humans or more likely livestock.

For plant workers, purging the nation’s waterways of carp that muscle out native fish for food and habitat isn’t about balancing nature. It’s strictly about making money.

“The government wants this fish removed in large volumes, and this is the way to do it,” said Gray Magee, chief executive of the company, which began processing the carp in April atop a bluff near Grafton, a tiny tourist hamlet perched along the banks where the Mississippi and Illinois rivers meet.

Heartland joins Schafer Fisheries, which more than a decade ago expanded its northern Illinois operations near the Mississippi to include carp after focusing entirely on catfish. A similar venture was launched recently in Kentucky, and yet another carp-processing site has been proposed for a site along the Illinois River near Peoria.

Plant manager Peter Allen feeds Asian carp onto a conveyer belt July 16 at the American Heartland Fish Products carp-processing plant near Grafton, north of St. Louis.

The idea of eliminating carp by eating them, much promoted only a few years ago, has been fairly slow to take hold in the business world.

Partly because they’re so bony, Asian carp have drawn little interest among U.S. consumers. The few Americans who make a living exporting carp face big challenges: Profit margins are thin because of freight and fishing costs.

And the carp have soft flesh that can spoil quickly if not processed rapidly and packed in ice.

American Heartland originally targeted exports to China but turned to the domestic market when a contract

fizzled. Now some experts say a recent fall-off in the world’s anchovy supplies could open a new market for carp as a replacement in animal feed.

Still, the industry has grown to a point where some fish experts have begun to worry about what happens to carp businesses if they actually succeed in helping to wipe the species out.

“In an odd way, I wonder about the overall supply,” said Carol Engle, director of the aquaculture fisheries center at the University of Arkansas in Pine Bluff. “In this case, we want to overfish them. But if we accomplish this, what are these companies going to do?”

State senator wants audit of Chicago LGBT center

By MATT MENCARINI mmencarini@shawmedia.com SPRINGFIELD – State Sen. Tim Bivins, R-Dixon, wants the state to look into the propriety of some events held at a Chicago community center that might have been “sexual in nature.”

Bivins, now assistant Republican leader of the Senate, asked the Legislative Audit Commission to investigate events at the Center on Halsted and to audit all of the center’s state funds received for fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015, he said in a news release

Wednesday.

Many of the center’s events are consistent with a community center, he said, but other events there are questionable.

“It has been brought to my attention that some activities that are sexual in nature have been presented at the Center on Halsted – the Tim Bivins 2013 Grabby Awards, which highlights ‘top talent and performance in the gay erotic film industry,’ as well

as an annual international men’s rubber fetish event,” Bivins said in the release.

“I believe the taxpayers of Illinois have a right to fully understand exactly how state funds are being spent by this organization and what public benefit Illinois taxpayers have actually realized by these expenditures for these specific events.”

The center received about $2.5 million from the state between 2012 and 2014, he said.

According to the center’s Web site, it offers programs to advance Chicago’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender,

queer and allied community, including yoga, volleyball, job placement, HIV testing and group therapy. More than 1,000 people visit the center daily.

The center rents meeting rooms and recreational spaces. Rates range from $25 an hour for small meeting rooms to $800 an hour for its computer center.

According to an audit on the center’s Web site, it had about $4.4 million in revenue in fiscal 2013, with about $2 million coming from government funds and about $500,000 coming from rental income.

A story on page A3 of Thursday’s Daily Chronicle about the auction sale of chickens raised by Sycamore’s Bailey Hunt at the Illinois State Fair did not contain all the names of those who bought them.

Those who bought Hunt’s chickens were Marty Davis of McDonald’s in Peoria and Central Illinois, State Rep. Robert Pritchard (R-Sycamore), National Bank and Trust of Sycamore, Elburn Coop, Conserv FS, Complete Feed, and Mr. and Mrs. Tom Hawk.

DeKALB – For the past 10 years, DeKalb resident Danny Wells has donated a pint of blood every eight weeks in hopes that someone will do the same for him one day.

Wells’ blood type is O-negative, which makes him a universal blood donor. According to the American Red Cross, his blood type is relatively rare, with only 8 percent of whites having the blood type.

YMCA seeks donors to boost program numbers

By ANDREA AZZO

How to help

aazzo@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – This year at the Kishwaukee Family YMCA summer camp, 10-year-old Belle Irick of DeKalb has made her own ice cream, played matball and made new friends.

“I think I learned how to make friends here,” Belle said. “There’s so many people around.”

About half of the children in the YMCA’s Summer Day Camp program receive financial assistance, although Belle is not one of them. The assistance is made possible through donations from local organizations and individual donors, Youth Development Director Lesley Feyerherm said.

The YMCA’s youth development programs depend heavily on outside funding, Feyerherm said. The Kishwaukee Family YMCA is in the midst of its annual fundraising campaign to help make those opportunities available to local children and others.

YMCA officials say donors make a big difference.

Overall, the YMCA provided $470,346 in financial assistance scholarships and program subsidies to low-income families and nonprofits last year. The

YMCA also receives multiple grants to fund youth programs.

They received a $5,000 grant earlier this summer for their Science Technology Engineering & Math (STEM) program that they matched with funds from its budget.

They also received a $20,000 grant from the American Cancer Society for their Coordinated Approach to Child Health (CATCH) program, which fights

child obesity by teaching children about nutrition and the importance of staying active.

Also, Youth Engaged in Philanthropy donated a nearly $1,500 grant for YMCA to buy a Nine Square in the Air kit, Feyerherm said. Nine Square is similar to Four Square except that players hit the ball upwards across various beams.

So far, YMCA has raised $107,000 in this year’s fundraising campaign and hope to meet or exceed their annual goal of $146,000, said Debbie Madeley, YMCA director of development.

The money will support children and adult programming, and allow residents to access the

enu:es… m l l i cialt a fu

organization’s programs regardless of income.

Those who would like to send an individual donation designate their gift to be used for a specific program, or donate to the overall fundraising effort, which will distribute the money among various programs, Feyerherm said.

For example, the YMCA’s reading program began because of a local supporter’s passion for reading, Feyerherm said. Since it has been implemented, the library at the Y is now stocked with books, and students are learning in the summer instead of falling backward when they begin classes this fall, she said.

“If there’s something new and exciting, we want to try it if there’s somebody passionate in our community that will help us reach our goals,” Feyerherm said.

she said. “On average, one out of five people who go to the hospital needs blood. Our need grows each and every day.”

Upcoming blood drives will be from 8 a.m. to noon Aug. 22 at DeKalb Dental Group, 2707 Sycamore Road, DeKalb; and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Aug. 30 at Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 158 N. Fourth St., DeKalb. Immanuel Lutheran Church, 511 Russell Road in DeKalb, will host a drive from 3 to 6:30 p.m. Sept. 2.

In order to be eligible, donors must bring a photo ID,

weigh 110 pounds or more, be at least 17 years old and in generally good health. Those who are 16 years old also can donate with a signed permission slip from a parent or guardian.

Donating blood also can help people who are donating. Wells found out he had high blood pressure when he first began donating and is now taking medication. He also can monitor his iron levels when he stops by.

“It’s almost a no-brainer and a freebie,” he said.

“When I walk out of here, I feel healthy.”

Sycamore man, 39, found unfit for trial

By ANDREA AZZO aazzo@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Authorities have determined a 39-yearold Sycamore man accused of injuring an officer during a police chase is unfit to stand trial, court documents show.

Jeremy Scholl, of the 300 block of East Ottawa Street, is now receiving inpatient treatment in the custody of the Department of Human S e r v i c e s b e - Jeremy Scholl cause the court ruled Wednesday he could be mentally fit to stand trial within a year of treatment, according to court records.

Scholl is accused of driving off when a Sycamore police officer pulled him over July 2 near East Elm and South Locust streets in Sycamore and

scraping the officer’s forearm, authorities said. Scholl led police on a chase, during which he blew through four stop signs and turned four times without signaling before the pursuit ended on Route 64 east of Sycamore, court records show.

He faces charges of aggravated battery to a police officer, aggravated fleeing or eluding, obstructing a police officer, resisting a police officer and violating his bond.

In separate cases, Scholl also was charged with aggravated domestic battery, domestic battery, interfering with a domestic violence report and obstructing justice.

Rauner revs up GOP at fair

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner roared into the state fairgrounds on a Harley on Thursday, revving up the party faithful by pledging to help loosen the Democrats’ long hold on power in Illinois government.

After removing his helmet, the Winnetka businessman said he would lead an administration that is efficient and transparent. He repeated a vow, made following his primary victory, to sweep Gov. Pat Quinn into “the dust bin of history,” adding the GOP could be competitive in races up and down the ballot.

“We can’t be a prosperous state unless we are a two party state,” Rauner told a crowd of supporters at the GOP’s annual state fair event in Springfield.

Shut out of the governor’s mansion and statehouse political control for more than a decade, Republicans’ acknowledge the impossibility of gaining the immediate upper hand in President Barack Obama’s traditionally blue home state.

But party officials and volunteers voiced hopes Thursday that Republicans have what it takes this fall elect a Republican governor, a crucial step in evening out the balance of power.

“We have an opportunity this November to end one par-

Jim Edgar said. “We have an opportunity to bring back effective leadership to the governor’s office.”

Republicans say highlighting Democrats’ passage of an unpopular tax increase and failed efforts to revive a lagging economy will be key to their November success.

“People are angry,” Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno told a group of state central committeemen at a breakfast meeting before the fairground event. “In that anger there is an opportunity for us.”

The party suffered major losses in 2012 followed by a gay marriage flap that prompted the resignation of a GOP chair-

man last spring.

While officials previously have acknowledged that the party is out of touch with voters, Thursday they expressed confidence that gap has been bridged.

“This is the most energized that I’ve seen the party in my decades in politics,” said Republican House Leader Jim Durkin, who was first elected during a nationwide Republican wave in 1994.

Rauner has crafted an image as a government “outsider” looking to “shake up Springfield.” The wealthy venture capitalist regularly stresses at campaign stops throughout the state that Illinois’ economy could be doing much better under a different governor.

He has, at the same time, in-

fused both his campaign and those of fellow Republicans’ with millions of his own dollars.

Officials say a “get out the vote” effort will be crucial to Republicans’ successes this fall, as the GOP is hoping to capitalize on the typical dropoff in Democratic turnoff that appears during non-presidential elections.

Democrats are seeking to combat that predicted erosion by driving voters to the polls to vote on a number of referendums advancing the party’s focus on the working class, at the same time portraying Rauner as an “out of touch billionaire.” They’re also emphasizing their close ties with labor unions – as Rauner made fighting “government union bosses” a theme during the GOP primary.

Republicans hit back on those criticisms during their day at the fair, the same day Democrats were touting the state’s unemployment rate had dropped to a six-year low.

Rauner – who bought a prized steer from a sale of champions hosted by Quinn earlier in the week – cracked that “Pat Quinn and his government cronies know bull.”

As Rauner acknowledged the governor’s race could be so close that it could come down to a few hundred votes, volunteers and campaign workers were cautioned to remain practical and focused in the months ahead.

Group fighting to put term limits on ballot

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Pres CHICAGO – A group that wants to put legislative term limits on the November ballot told an Illinois appeals court Thursday that voters deserve a chance to approve a measure the General Assembly never will pass on its own.

The Committee for Legislative Reform and Term Limits gathered about 600,000 signatures for an initiative that would limit legislators to eight years in office, change the size of the state House and Senate and make it tougher to override a governor’s veto, among other things. But a Cook County judge in June ruled the effort unconstitutional after a lawsuit was filed to try to keep the question off the ballot.

The court battle is steeped in election-year politics and

could have big consequences for one of the nation’s most closely watched governor’s races.

“There’s no question that there’s politics involved in this on both sides,” Timothy Eaton, a lawyer for the term limits committee, told a three-judge panel of the Chicago-based 1st District Appellate Court.

Republican businessman Bruce Rauner, who’s trying to unseat Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn, is chairman of the committee and has donated about $600,000 to the effort.

His campaign said the issue is popular with both Democrats and Republicans, and the campaign believes aligning Rauner with it will help drive people to the polls who will cast ballots for him.

The lawsuit seeking to ban the ballot question was filed on behalf of business groups

by attorneys with ties to top Democrats, including House Speaker Michael Madigan, who has served in the General Assembly since 1971.

They say taxpayer money shouldn’t be spent for a vote on a change that violates the Illinois Constitution.

Michael Kasper, an attorney for the groups challenging the measure, argued it doesn’t meet a constitutional requirement that any changes proposed for the Legislature must be “structural and procedural.” He said the term limits initiative would affect individual legislators but not the General Assembly as a whole.

Cook County Judge Mary Mikva agreed with that argument earlier this year.

But Eaton argued members of the 1970 constitutional convention wanted voters to be able to make changes – in-

cluding imposing term limits – because legislators wouldn’t vote to limit themselves.

The appellate court panel didn’t indicate when it would rule, but the term limits committee has asked them to do so by today. The state board of elections must finalize the Nov. 4 ballot by Aug. 22.

If the appellate court upholds Mikva’s ruling, the committee plans to appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court, which declined earlier this year to immediately consider it.

Quinn led a 1994 effort to limit legislative terms, but it didn’t survive a similar court challenge. He opposes Rauner’s initiative because it would increase the size of the Illinois House and decrease the number of seats in the Senate. In 1980, Quinn led a successful effort to reduce the number of House members.

Illinois unemployment rate falls again in July The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Illinois unemployment fell in July to 6.8 percent, the fifth straight monthly decrease in the state’s jobless rate and a sixyear low, according to figures released Thursday by the state Department of Employment Security.

The July figure represents a drop from 9.2 percent one year ago and marks the largest year-over-year decline since 1984. The last time the rate was lower than 6.8 was in August 2008 when it was 6.7.

There are 35,600 more jobs

than one year ago.

T h e m o n t h l y e m p l o yment report the department released Thursday showed employers creating 11,200 private-sector jobs in the past month.

Illinois state officials celebrated the news Thursday, which Gov. Pat Quinn called a “momentous” day.

He credited at least part of the drop to his policies over the years, particularly on investments in manufacturing and overhauls to workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance. Talk of job creation has factored heavily

into the state’s highly competitive governor’s race. Quinn is facing a challenge from Republican businessman Bruce Rauner.

“We’ve had to make a lot of hard decisions over the last few years that I’ve been governor,” Quinn told reporters at a Chicago pipe and conduit manufacturer. “We made those decisions. We did it on purpose.”

Rauner’s campaign said the numbers were nothing to cheer about, noting Illinois still has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country.

“Celebrating today’s job numbers is like cheering a touchdown when you’re down 35 points with two minutes left,” spokesman Mike Schrimpf said.

Illinois’ rate for July was still slightly higher than the national rate of 6.2 percent.

Department Director Jay Rowell said Illinois has traditionally been slightly higher because of the state’s diversity of job sectors.

Areas in Illinois that saw the biggest drops in unemployment were business and professional services and manufacturing.

Subtle voices of dissent surface in war-torn Gaza

By HAMZA HENDAWI The Associated Press BEIT LAHIYA, Gaza Strip – The group of neighbors surveyed the destruction wreaked on their residential complex

by Israeli bombardment, with building after building flattened or punctured by shells.

The men then began to voice something almost never heard out loud in Gaza: criticism of its Hamas rulers.

Exhausted by a month of pounding by Israel’s military – on top of seven years of stifling closure of the tiny Mediterranean coastal strip – they questioned Hamas’ handling of the crisis and the wisdom of repeatedly going to war with Israel.

“We do not want to be bom-

barded every two or three years. We want to lead a good life: Sleep well, drink well and eat well,” said Ziad Rizk, a 37-year-old father of two, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

He stared at the damaged apartment building where he lived. His sofa and a blue baby carriage were perched precariously on a tilting concrete slab that was his floor.

It is impossible to say how widespread such discontent is among Gaza’s 1.8 million residents. Under Hamas rule, it’s rare and dangerous to share as much as a hint of criticism of the government with outsiders.

Still, the men’s boldness in voicing their opinions could be a telling sign that some Gazans

see Hamas as weakened. It points to how desperate many Gazans have become after the most ruinous of three bouts of major Hamas-Israel violence since the militant group overran the territory in 2007.

More than 1,900 Palestinians have been killed, mostly civilians, nearly 10,000 wounded and some 250,000 displaced since fighting started July 8.

Significantly, a Hamas rally last week attracted 2,000 to 3,000 people, a low number compared to its routinely massive rallies, particularly conAP photo sidering it was held at a time A Palestinian boy rides a donkey Monday next to the destroyed al-Nawhen the group is at war with da Towers building in the town of Beit Lahiya, Gaza Strip.

conflict with Israel. It seeks to block unauthorized media coverage of its military wing.

In almost every square and major intersection in Gaza City, giant billboards extoll the battlefield valor of Hamas fighters, their quest for martyrdom and their locally manufactured rockets.

Al-Aqsa TV, the organization’s 24-hour news channel, tirelessly airs Hamas propaganda and reports news with a Hamas-friendly slant.

The men who spoke with the AP were all friends and neighbors who live in the Abraj al-Nada, or Al-Nada Towers, a collection of apartment buildings that was hit hard by Israeli airstrikes and tank shelling July 17 in the northern Gaza district of Beit Lahiya.

Obama: No Iraq rescue; further airdrops unlikely The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama said Thursday the humanitarian crisis atop a barren hill in northern Iraq is over, eliminating the need for a risky U.S. rescue mission. But Iraqis elsewhere face a “dire” threat from an advancing Islamic army, he said.

Obama said the U.S. will work with other governments to provide humanitarian relief “wherever we have capabilities” and can effectively Barack Obama reach those in need, even as U.S. warplanes continue a limited, defensive campaign of airstrikes. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have been driven from their homes since June as the militants seized swaths of territory in northern Iraq.

A U.S. military and civilian team of 16 people spent Wednesday atop Sinjar Mountain in northern Iraq to assess conditions and see how many Iraqis needed to be evacuated.

They reported the number of trapped Iraqis was about 4,000 – far fewer than anticipated – and that U.S.-supplied food and water had reached many of those in need in recent days.

Obama said the U.S. had delivered 114,000 meals and 35,000 gallons of water to the Iraqis, who were faced with almost certain death at the hands of the Islamic State group if they descended the mountain and possible starvation if they stayed atop Sinjar.

“The bottom line is, is that

the situation on the mountain has greatly improved and Americans should be very proud of our efforts,” Obama said, speaking from his vacation spot in Edgartown, Massachusetts. “We broke the ISIL siege of Mount Sinjar, we helped vulnerable people reach safety and we helped save many innocent lives.”

ISIL refers to the militant group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or simply the Islamic State. It is an al-Qaida inspired extremist group that controls much of northern and western Iraq and aspires to create a caliphate in Iraq and neighboring Syria.

The United Nations on Wednesday declared the situation in Iraq a “Level 3 emergency” – a development that will allow for additional assistance to the displaced, said U.N. special representative Nickolay Mladenov, pointing to the “scale and complexity of the current humanitarian catastrophe.”

Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, said before Obama’s remarks that U.S. officials believe the number of trapped Iraqis on Sinjar is now “in the neighborhood of 4,000,” and that between 1,500 and 2,000 of those are locals who have no plans to leave.

“We believe based on our assessment of conditions on the mountain that it is much less likely that we’ll need to continue to airdrop any more food and water,” Kirby said. The last airdrop was Wednesday.

That does not, however, substantially change the big picture in Iraq, which is in crisis with a problem-plagued government and an aggressive Sunni insurgency.

IRS failed to do background checks

By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER The Associated Press

Danielle Guerra – dguerra@shawmedia.com

Matt Berry, 16, of Sycamore pulls a charred hot dog out of the coal powered furnace of a 1923 Type A Erie steam shovel operated by Liam Dancey, 18, of Sycamore on Thursday at the Northern Illinois Steam Power Club’s Steam Show and Threshing Bee at Taylor Marshall Farm in Sycamore. Berry, who was on a lunch break, said the furnace cooks a hot dog perfectly.

WASHINGTON – The IRS failed to do background checks on some private contractors who handled confidential taxpayer information, exposing more than a million taxpayers to an increased risk of fraud and identity theft, a government investigator said Thursday.

In one case, the IRS gave a printing contractor a computer disk with names, addresses and Social Security numbers

of 1.4 million taxpayers, but didn’t require a background check for anyone who worked on the job, said a report by the Treasury inspector general for tax administration.

In another case, to transport sensitive documents the IRS used a courier who previously had spent 21 years in prison on arson and other charges. In other cases, contractors underwent background checks but weren’t required to sign agreements not to disclose sensitive information, the report said.

“Allowing contractor em-

ployees access to taxpayer data without appropriate background investigations exposes taxpayers to increased risk of fraud and identity theft,” said the inspector general, J. Russell George.

IRS policy requires contractors with access to confidential taxpayer information to undergo background checks, although the policy wasn’t always followed, the report said.

About 10,000 private contractors have access to such information.

The report did not exam-

ine whether any of the private contractors misused taxpayer information. But the issue of identity theft has been gaining attention at the IRS and elsewhere.

In recent years the IRS has reported a big jump in thieves trying to fraudulently claim tax refunds using stolen Social Security numbers.

In 2012, the IRS issued $4 billion in fraudulent tax refunds to people using stolen identities, according to an inspector general’s report released last year.

Dancey operates the controls of the steam shovel, which is akin to a modern-day excavator. Before the swiveling, scooping artifact and its resounding whistle became an attraction in Sycamore, it worked loading a rock crusher at a quarry outside Rochelle until the 1960s. The coal-fired machine can scoop 300 cubic yards a day, a fraction of what modern machines can do.

“You can fit this entire machine into the scoop of some of the ones made today,” Dancey said.

About 25 steam-powered engines at the show will burn through 10 tons of coal this weekend. Meanwhile, visitors also can peruse threshing machines, balers, wheat grinders and more than 275 gas engines.

A bevy of food and other vendors fill the rest of the show.

This year marks 58 years for the show, and the first appearance for a 1916 steam engine made by the Illinois Thresher Company in Sycamore. Of the 63 that were manufactured, only six still exist and three still run, said Dave Stevens, one of the show’s directors.

Club members bought the 20 horsepower traction engine in 2003 for about $20,000.

Stevens, 54, of Sycamore, spent at least 12 hours a week for the past two years restoring the engine with custom parts before it was ready for its show debut.

It leads the parade of chugging engines, purring tractors and echoing whistles that takes place at 1:30 p.m. each day.

People are still putting the finishing touches while show-goers marvel at the nearly century old machine. At midnight Wednesday, a painter carefully applied thin yellow pinstripes by candlelight.

Altogether, the club spent more than $20,000 to restore the machine.

Club member Jason Capra, 34, of Geneva, believes anyone who’s fascinated by things mechanical will enjoy walking through rows of steam engines and threshing machines. He grew up in Chicago without any connection to agriculture, but the machine caught his attention around 2005 when he started working at Stevens’ mechanics shop.

“After you see it, you can’t help but be drawn to it,” Capra said. “It’s a giant tea kettle that makes more torque than a top-level dragster.”

Les Petersen, 70, of Hampshire, displays a threshing machine that was used to separate wheat or oats in 1928. Unlike other machines that require the owner or operator recite an oral history for the curious, Petersen can point to a record written on the machine.

The original owner, Charles Coon, scrawled on a compartment to the rear that he purchased the machine for $2,180.

After Coon sold the machine in 1966, he came back every year to autograph it. He wrote “last” in 1971 thinking he wouldn’t return, although his signatures appeared until 1973.

“It’s a way of farming that isn’t done anymore,” Petersen said. “It’s something that hasn’t commonly been done in 70 years. This is a venue for us to show some people they way things were.”

Creating the position coincided with commissioners shifting job titles for some staff to create a layer of four superintendents below the executive director.

“We looked at this as modernizing and being more efficient,” park board President Phil Young said. “We’re more in line with what park

districts across the state are doing.”

Mangum himself started in June after a more than year-long search process. He replaced former Executive Director Cindy Capek, who officially resigned in June 2013, but worked her last day at the district in May 2013.

Next, Mangum will need to hire a superintendent of parks and development to replace Brad Garrison, who retired in July after 37 years

with the district. The district is currently advertising the position, which carries an annual salary of between $65,000 and $75,000.

Also in the administration is Lisa Small, the superintendent of finance who has been with the district for 21 years, and Roger Huber, the superintendent of golf who has been on staff for 36 years.

“I think there’s a lot of good energy and new ideas,” Small said of the changes. “I

think it will be good for the district overall.”

The five-member DeKalb Park Board also has seen change in the past year.

Three new commissioners were elected in April 2013.

Late last year, commissioners appointed Dean Holliday to the board after commissioner Don Irving died. His brother, Bryant Irving, was selected in April to fill the position of Mike Teboda, who resigned for health reasons.

Obama, Holder air doubts • POLICE Continued from page A1 Police have declined to identify the officer, saying he has been the focus of death threats.

More than 60 people have been arrested since Sunday.

Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson said Thursday that police were trying to balance the public’s right to protest with public safety, including the need to keep streets open. But he added, “If firebombs are being thrown, property gets destroyed, shots get fired ... we have to respond to deadly force.”

St. Louis County police spokesman Brian Schellman defended the actions of the officers. “In talking to these guys, it is scary,” he said. “They hear gunshots going off, and they don’t know where they’re coming from.” He also said coins, bricks and rocks also have been thrown at police.

Two officers have been injured.

One had an ankle broken by a thrown brick, according to authorities.

St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson told The Associated Press he was so concerned about the way Ferguson officers handled the unrest that he pulled his employees out. The city sent a 24-officer tactical

squad to help control protesters Sunday and Monday night.

“I was concerned about the tactics,” Dotson said. “I was concerned about the safety of my officers.”

The police chief said he was not being critical because he was not there, but the actions taken in Ferguson were not “tactics I would use in the city of St. Louis.”

President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder aired their own doubts.

Obama, taking a break from his vacation, said while “emotions are raw now,” there needs to be a “respect for public order and the right to peaceful public protests.”

Holder said he was concerned that the use of military equipment by Ferguson police sent a “conflicting message.”

Missouri officials have accepted an offer from the Justice Department to help with crowd control and public safety “without relying on unnecessarily extreme displays of force,” he said.

During a visit to Ferguson, Sen. Claire McCaskill said “the militarization of the response became more of a problem than the solution. It escalated the situation. ... These people need to be allowed to exercise their rights, with safety and respect.”

Words can’t describe it

Time to celebrate LBGT pride in Ohio Ten years after Ohio voters passed one of the worst anti-gay laws in the country, a downtown arena in Cleveland welcomed 10,000 athletes, fans and corporate sponsors to kick off the weeklong 2014 Gay Games.

Yes, we still have that awful law.

Yes, they came anyway.

Hope doesn’t need an invitation, and justice never waits for permission.

On Saturday, one jubilant delegation at a time, athletes from more than 50 countries and almost every state in the U.S. marched to thunderous applause on the floor of Quicken Loans Arena, which is home for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

They came from Nigeria, where this year the president signed a law that not only bans intimate relationships between members of the same sex but also criminalizes meetings for gay people.

They came from Russia, where President Vladimir Putin defended an anti-gay law by equating gay people with pedophiles and declaring his country’s need to “cleanse” itself of homosexuality.

They came from Ohio, too, where Gov. John Kasich and Attorney General Mike DeWine recently insisted the state will fight a federal court ruling that found unconstitutional Ohio’s refusal to recognize same-sex marriages secured in other states.

“The people of the state, including me, voted years ago on a constitutional amendment to say that marriage is between a man and a woman,” Kasich told The Columbus Dispatch. “[The federal judge] has overruled that in some respects, and that’s what a federal judge can do. But it doesn’t change the fact of how people voted.”

VIEWS Connie Schultz Our governor has a habit of yearning for the days of yore. Early in his first term, he staged a late-night photo op with him flanked by men as he signed away a woman’s constitutionally protected right to an abortion. It is not surprising he objects to happy gay people, too.

For more than 10 years, I have been writing about the impact of Ohio’s antigay law and the prejudice that drove the constitutional amendment. There are as many ways to illustrate its harm as there are members of the LGBT community, but the old story has a fabulous update in the resilience of those who refused to leave.

It’s their you-will-know-us spirit that, in retrospect, made the decision to choose Cleveland for Gay Games 9 seem almost preordained.

In recent years, you could hear the hum of progress. From the Cleveland City Council’s move to enact a domestic partner registry in 2008 to polls this year showing a narrow majority of Ohioans supporting same-sex marriage, we are steadily moving in one direction, toward the light.

I will spend no energy condemning those who come late to this party – after their child comes out to them, perhaps, or when they find out a beloved friend or colleague is gay. I once thought it was OK to be a Steelers fan. Adulthood is no reason to stop growing. Whatever gets them there, I’m happy to see their attendance in an unstoppable movement.

The list of big-time sponsors of this week’s Gay Games, starting with the august Cleveland Foundation, tells a story of acceptance and inevitability. Hospitals and universities, the Cleveland Indians and Cavaliers, PNC Bank and United Airlines – the list goes on and on.

To state the obvious, supporting gay rights is good for business.

It’s good for politicians, too, which some Republicans apparently have figured out.

Republican Party of Cuyahoga County Chairman Rob Frost told The Washington Post’s Jackie Kucinich about plans to host a booth at the games and hand out water bottles plastered with the word “refresh.”

“We hope people do find it refreshing,” he told Kucinich. “What a great opportunity with the Gay Games coming to Cleveland to welcome the athletes and fans, not just to the Gay Games and not just to Cleveland, but to welcome gays and lesbians to the Republican Party.”

Thousands of gay, lesbian and transgender athletes competing in the wide-open public, without fear for their safety.

Cleveland’s trademark Terminal Tower ablaze in rainbow lights as it points to the sky.

Republicans welcoming the LGBT community and giving them free stuff even.

It’s true.

It really does get better.

Airstrikes against Islamic State will lose effectiveness

By ROBERT H. SCALES The Washington Post In the winter of 1951, President Dwight Eisenhower reluctantly allowed the French army to employ American napalm against the Viet Minh at the Battle of Vinh Yen. The effect was electric. Enemy soldiers were petrified: “The bomb falls closely behind us, and I feel its fiery breath,” a Viet Minh officer recounted in a diary passage quoted in Bernard Fall’s history “Street Without Joy.” “The men are now fleeing in all directions. ... I stop at the platoon commander ... his eyes were wide with terror. ‘What is this? The atom bomb?’ ” In a short time, however, the psychological impact of the pyrotechnics of burning gel waned. To the Vietnamese, napalm became just another kind of bomb, deadly and destructive

to be sure, but no more frightening than any other air-delivered weapon.

Right now, the Islamic State is going through this same evolutionary process along the western border of Kurdistan. As one can see from the grainy blackand-white “gun camera” tapes released by the Pentagon, the U.S. airstrikes of the past week have mostly succeeded. Lazy and overconfident Islamic State forces positioned their artillery and mortars in the open. Their convoys were bunched together and tended to travel along established highways, where they could easily be spotted by drones.

As planes approached, fighters cowered in fear or ran away.

Expect them to learn quickly from these mistakes. Many Islamic State commanders are former Baathist officers who have seen U.S. firepower in action and understand how to respond to it. Some are veterans of almost

three years of Syrian bomb strikes and are comfortable with quickly taking cover at the first sight of aircraft overhead. Recent images show they are dispersing their newly acquired U.S. tanks, Humvees and artillery. They also are beginning to hide their command posts in villages and digging in their small units.

Their supplies are being stuffed into houses, where they cannot be spotted from the air. It’s an old tactic that works. Just ask the Israelis.

Recent history suggests there will be strategic consequences from seeking to blunt the Islamic State advance through airpower alone. First, the effectiveness of pinpoint strikes will diminish quickly; it generally takes only a few weeks for a disciplined force to become inured to the psychological effects of such firepower.

Second, as the enemy becomes harder to kill, a greater investment will be needed to get the

same results. Third, as targets get harder to locate from the air, it will become necessary to push ground reconnaissance units forward to find and flush Islamic State units into the open. Fourth, as we increase our killing power and the Islamic State retreats into towns and cities, images of dead children – and questions of moral proportionality – will emerge in the global media.

Fifth, and most frightening, would be the terrible consequences of the Islamic State’s managing to shoot down a piloted U.S. aircraft.

When we fly away with the Islamic State still dominant on the battlefield, the terrorists will proclaim to the world that the United States is a cowardly country that has been beaten again.

Four life sentences in prison were announced this week for the convicted killer of four people in a Rock Falls apartment in June 2008.

Judge Jeffrey O’Connor pronounced the harshest sentence allowed by Illinois law for Nicholas T. Sheley, 34.

Sheley was convicted in May of killing Brock Branson, 29, Kilynna Blake, 20, Dayan Blake, 2, and Kenneth Ulve, 25.

The deaths are among eight attributed to Sheley during a gruesome six-day spree in which all the victims were savagely beaten to death.

Convictions and life sentences previously were obtained in the killings of Russell Reed, 93, in his rural Sterling home, and Ronald Randall, 65, in Galesburg.

Those words approach an accurate description of a civilized person’s reaction to Sheley’s crimes.

But none has the power to fully convey what happened.

Unspeakable comes close. Abominable is what one dictionary recommends. Whatever.

Illinois is finally done putting Sheley on trial. It’s Missouri’s turn.

Justice needed in Missouri shooting The scenes and reports coming out of Ferguson and some of the other hardscrabble parts of north St. Louis County are ugly and surreal, like something happening in another time or a different part of the world.

This urban swath of Missouri has suddenly come to resemble a military zone, as heavily armed riot police face off against civilians, many of whom stand their ground with hands in the air and rage on their faces.

The fury that began Saturday when a Ferguson police officer shot an unarmed teenager, 18-year-old Michael Brown, has manifested itself in demonstrations in the days since.

Some looting and vandalism have occurred, which only serve to detract from the urgent need to find out what happened.

But police must not make a bad situation worse.

Reports of officers using tear gas and rubber bullets on residents who were doing nothing more than trying to make their way home are extremely concerning. Police in Ferguson and north St. Louis County have a lot of hard work ahead to repair relations with residents.

They need to keep the peace and protect people’s property but with the least show of force required.

Also very worrisome are continued demands to name the police officer who shot Brown.

It is true that Michael Brown had no choice but to be named as the latest unarmed young black man to be killed by a law enforcement officer. But the quest for justice in his name will not be served by further violence. The identity of the police officer will come out in due course; right now the volatility of the situation justifies the decision to withhold it.

Brown, a recent high school graduate, is being described by his teachers at Normandy High School as a “gentle giant.” He was to have started classes at a technical college Monday.

Based on reflections by people who knew him, there is little in Brown’s background to square with the accusation offered by Ferguson police that he reached into a police cruiser and struggled for the officer’s gun.

Brown’s companion has offered a disturbing version of events that portrays the officer as the aggressor.

Whatever the truth, it is safe to say that Brown should not have died Saturday.

There is little reason now for Brown’s family or many people anguishing over his death to express faith in the rule of law. But it is the best hope for recourse that we have in America. Attorneys with the civil rights division of the U.S. Justice Department are working with the FBI on an investigation separate from a probe underway by the St. Louis County police. If Brown’s death was as unprovoked as his companion’s account suggests, the officer involved must be brought to trial.

Meanwhile, we must listen to the people who have raised their hands in solidarity with Michael Brown.

He is not an isolated incident but yet another symbol of the indignities and dangers that black people continue to face in America. The nation ignores those voices at its peril.

Work in progress Bears win second preseason game despite lackluster effort CHICAGO – More than anything, people need to remember it’s early.

The Bears’ performance in their second exhibition game was uninspired at best in a 20-19 victory.

But I am here to brighten your day. How many of you have forgotten that the 1985 Bears started 0-3 in exhibitions before beating up on the Buffalo Bills to get ready for their opener?

The moral of the story, of course, is these games are meaningless.

Still, there is a recurring theme this year that is a bit disturbing.

From the moment the Bears arrived in Bourbonnais, we knew there were at least 16 players on

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush the roster capable of contributing to a winning team, perhaps even a playoff team.

They include Jay Cutler, Matt Forte, Martellus Bennett, Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery, Jermon Bushrod, Matt Slauson, Roberto Garza and Kyle Long on offense, and Jared Allen, Jeremiah Ratliff, Lamarr Houston, Lance Briggs, D.J. Williams, Tim Jennings and Charles Tillman on defense.

The whole idea of this preseason has been to find out if there is anyone else on the roster that can step up and join them?

Cutler acknowledged the need for help, speaking at halftime about the receiver position.

“We had really liked going with three receivers but Marquess (Wilson) is out, so we’ve got to adapt and use some different guys. We’ll see what some of these guys can do in the second half: (Micheal) Spurlock and (Eric) Weems and (Josh) Bellamy and Josh Morgan. We’ll see how it works out.”

It didn’t. Through two exhibition games, there aren’t more than a few

players who’ve actually staked a claim to the remaining 37 spots on the roster.

Zach Miller, although not a prototypical Marc Trestman tight end, had at least made a strong case in the first preseason game and the few practices that followed it about his ability to contribute.

Against Jacksonville, he injured his foot and had to leave the field on a cart.

The Bears must replace the greatest kick returner in the history of the game in Devin Hester.

League Baseball in roles with

ever-increasing authority since 1998, will take over from the 80-year-old Selig on Jan. 25. It’s a generational change much like the NBA undertook when Adam Silver, then 51, replaced 71-year-old David Stern as commissioner in February.

And like Silver, Manfred was his boss’s pick.

Manfred beat out Boston Red Sox Chairman Tom Werner in the first contested vote for a new commissioner in 46 years. The third candidate, MLB Executive Vice President of Business Tim Brosnan,

withdrew just before the start of balloting.

“I am tremendously honored by the confidence that the owners showed in me today,” Manfred said. “I have very big shoes to fill.”

Gombera, a former standout at Akron, is the ninth head coach in school history. She spent the past two seasons as an assistant for the men’s and women’s teams at North Dakota.

“Tanya Gombera quickly rose to the top in an outstanding pool of candidates for this position,” NIU athletic director Sean Frazier said in a news release. “She has a vision for the program that will move Huskie women’s tennis forward and her ability to connect with people – from recruits to student-athletes to alumni – and familiarity with the Mid-American Conference will be a huge asset to NIU.”

U.S. advances to FIBA U17 World semifinals DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Henry Ellenson helped lead the two-time defending champion United States to the FIBA Under-17 World Championship semifinals, scoring 21 points in a 113-71 victory over China on Thursday.

The United States, 21-0 in the history of the tournament that also was played in 2010 and 2012, will face Serbia today. Serbia beat Canada, 71-64.

Ellenson, from Rice Lake, Wisconsin, also had 10 rebounds.

Diamond Stone, from Milwaukee, added 17 points and eight rebounds and set U.S. U17 records for blocked shots in a game with five and in the event with 20. Malik Newman of Jackson, Mississippi, had 16 points and five assists. In the other semifinal, Spain will play Australia. Spain beat France, 71-67, and Australia topped Puerto Rico, 76-52.

BREWERS 6, CUBS 2

MLB

Jackson’s woes continue The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Cubs starter Edwin Jackson said he was thinking about things he shouldn’t have been during the Cubs’ 6-2 loss Thursday to the Milwaukee Brewers.

For now, he doesn’t have to ponder being pulled from the rotation.

Jackson lasted 42/3 innings and allowed five runs before being lifted for Jacob Turner, who pitched 21/3 scoreless innings in his Cubs debut. Jackson has lost six of his last seven decisions and his ERA has risen to 5.74.

Cubs manager Rick Renteria was asked if Jackson (6-12) might lose a start or two to give Turner or other young pitchers a chance.

“Not necessarily,” Renteria said. “I don’t think that’s anything that, quite frankly, is in the forefront of what the organization’s thinking.”

Renteria did announce that Dan Straily will be summoned from Triple-A Iowa to start Saturday against the New York Mets in hopes of giving Cubs starters extra rest during a stretch of 33 games in 34 days.

When the Cubs signed Jackson to a four-year contract before last season they were hoping the veteran right-hander would eat innings and provide some stability in the rotation.

That hasn’t happened, and Thursday’s start was Jackson’s sixth out of 25 where he threw fewer than five innings.

But if he’s worried that means he’ll lose some turns in the rotation, Jackson isn’t showing it.

Hernandez excused from hearing in Boston deaths BOSTON – Former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez was excused from a pre-trial hearing Thursday in his Boston double homicide case.

Hernandez’s defense team asked the judge to waive his appearance before the Suffolk County Superior Court hearing, which consisted mainly of both sides conferring at length with the judge out of hearing range from the courtroom audience.

Hernandez, who was recently transferred to a Boston jail to be closer to his lawyers, is next due to appear in court on the Boston murder charges on Oct. 21. The two sides are expected to discuss evidence suppression and other pre-trial issues in preparation for a May 28 trial.

Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to murder in the deaths of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado.

Hernandez also pleaded not guilty to a murder charge in the 2013 slaying of Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player whose bullet-ridden body was found in an industrial park near his North Attleborough home.

The trial in that case is scheduled for October.

CAS upholds Suarez’s 4-month playing ban LAUSANNE, Switzerland – The Court of Arbitration for Sport has upheld Luis Suarez’s four-month ban for biting an opponent at the World Cup, but cleared him to train with Barcelona.

CAS said FIFA’s sanctions against Suarez are “generally proportionate to the offence committed.”

Suarez cannot play for Barcelona until Oct. 26, and he remains banned for Uruguay’s next eight competitive matches.

However, the court’s panel has ruled that the ban on any soccer-related activity is “excessive.”

The court’s ruling allows him to train and be involved in promotional activities.

Suarez has admitted to biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini’s shoulder during Uruguay’s 1-0 win at the World Cup.

CHICAGO (AP) – The owners of eight rooftop clubs overlooking Wrigley Field have filed a lawsuit to overturn Chicago’s approval of the Cubs’ plan to revamp the century-old ballpark.

The lawsuit filed Thursday in Cook County Circuit Court asks a judge to reverse the city’s action, saying it broke its own rules and deprived them of their property rights without due process. The lawsuit names the Commission on Chicago Landmarks and its members, as well as the city.

The commission in July approved seven electronic signs, including a left field Jumbotron, expansion of the bleachers and relocation of the bullpens.

Rooftop owners maintain the plan violates a revenue-sharing agreement that prevents the team from taking actions that block their views.

Chicago law department spokesman John Holden has refused to comment on the lawsuit.

Weems responded to that opportunity by fumbling his second kickoff return opportunity of the game and being slightly less than mediocre on the others.

Jimmy Clausen has clearly moved ahead of Jordan Palmer in the race to back up Cutler. Given a chance to slam the door against the Jags, he refused to seal the deal.

Ka’Deem Carey has by far the most carries of any running back on the team, and it’s clear the Bears want him to claim the No. 2 running back spot. It’s even clearer that Shaun Draughn is the second-best back on the team.

And that’s just the backups.

With the No. 3 wide receiver, SAM linebacker and both starting safety spots up for grabs, not a single contestant has done a thing to lay claim to a job.

Draughn did have a nice game against the Jags and Patrick O’Donnell appeared to lock up the punting competition with a clearly superior performance to Tress Way.

Lance Briggs seemed to sum it up best, talking about where his club is right now, and where he hopes they’re going.

“I think we’re a humbled group,” Briggs said. “We’re working real hard. We’ll keep taking steps in the right direction. You’re never going to know [in the preseason].

only to change his mind, he said last September that he really, truly planned to depart in January 2015.

One baseball executive who attended the meeting, speaking on condition of anonymity because details of the 4½-hour session were not to be divulged, said Manfred was elected on approximately the sixth ballot. The initial vote was 20-10 for Manfred, three short of the required three-quarters majority.

His total increased to 21 on the second and 22 on the third. While teams put written ballots into envelopes, keeping their choices secret, from team official speeches it was evident that Tampa Bay’s Stuart Sternberg and Milwaukee’s Mark Attanasio likely switched, the person said.

Manfred’s total dropped to 20, then increased back to 22 before a dinner break. He got the needed 23rd vote on the next, apparently from Washington. Owners then made the final vote unanimous.

The person said it appeared Arizona, Boston, the White Sox, Cincinnati, the Los Angeles Angels, Oakland and Toronto had been the final holdouts.

“What I said to the owners when I came down after the vote is that I didn’t really want to even think about who was on what side of what issue at points in the process,” Manfred said, “and that my commitment to the owners was that I would work extremely hard day in and day out to convince all 30 of them that they had made a great decision today.”

White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf and Toronto president Paul Beeston spoke out strongly against Manfred, the person said. Angels owner Arte Moreno joined Reinsdorf in leading Werner’s support.

“While Rob may not have been my initial choice for commissioner, the conclusion of a very good process was to name Rob as the person best positioned to help baseball endure and grow even stronger for the next generation of fans,” Reinsdorf said in a statement.

Cousins injures knee in practice

By JAY COHEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Team USA is hoping for the best after watching another player get helped off the court with an injury.

Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins hurt his right knee when he got tangled with Anthony Davis after both big men hit the floor going after a loose ball during a scrimmage toward the end of Thursday’s practice.

The World Cup of Basketball is just two weeks away.

“Definitely scary, not just the fact that he went down, but the fact that I actually was the one who dove on him,” Davis said. “I kind of feel bad and I hope he’s fine because he really wants to be here. He

really wants to play.”

Cousins watched the end of the scrimmage with a bag of ice on his knee as trainers milled around his table. He took a few ginger steps while players were coming off the floor.

“We’re hopeful it’s just a bruise or a slight sprain, but we won’t really know until he gets his MRI,” said Jerry Colangelo, the managing director of USA Basketball. “We hope it turns out to be nothing, but more precautionary than anything else. But nothing definitive until we get the results.”

It was the Americans’ first workout since Paul George broke his right leg in a gruesome injury that occurred during an intrasquad scrimmage Aug. 1 in Las Vegas.

Kevin Durant also withdrew

from the team last week.

Colangelo said he spoke with the team about George’s injury.

“I think time heals,” Colangelo said after practice. “What took place after a few days is that in checking with all the players, they were all in, looking forward to coming to Chicago and everyone showed and they played really hard today, so we’re pleased.”

The U.S. is expected to practice again today, and hosts Brazil on Saturday night in an exhibition at the United Center. Colangelo said Cousins likely wouldn’t play for the next couple of days.

The roster is at 16 players after Rudy Gay joined the pool following Durant’s departure.

It has to be cut to 12 before the World Cup begins Aug. 30.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Tony Stewart will not race Sunday at Michigan International Speedway, skipping a second straight NASCAR Sprint Cup race since striking and killing a driver in a dirt-track race at a small New York track.

Stewart announced the decision in a statement Thursday. His plans for the rest of the season have not been determined.

Jeff Burton will drive Stewart’s No. 14 Chevrolet in Michigan.

Stewart also sat out Sunday at Watkins Glen, a day after he struck and killed Kevin Ward Jr. during a sprint car event in Canandaigua, New York.

After Stewart clipped Ward’s car, sending it spinning, Ward got out of the car during the caution period, walked down the track and was hit by Stewart.

Ward’s funeral was Thursday in Boonville, New York.

He died of blunt force trauma.

Stewart’s dirt-racing career is on hold, and he could face criminal charges.

Stewart has not commented since he made a statement Sunday.

“There aren’t words to describe the sadness I feel about the accident that took the life of Kevin Ward Jr.,” Stewart said in the statement.

The three-time NASCAR champion is winless and 21st in the Cup standings this season. He would have needed a victory in one of the final four races to have a chance to become eligible for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

It’s not clear what sitting out does for Stewart’s Chase

Stewart has 48 career Cup wins in 542 starts.

Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero said that investigators don’t have any evidence at this point to support criminal intent. The investigation could last another two weeks.

His sponsors have stayed with him as the investigation unfolds. Mobil 1 has served as the primary sponsor of the Stewart-Haas Racing No. 14 Chevrolet for 19 of the 22 Sprint Cup Series races this season.

“The investigation continues, and we are monitoring the situation,” ExxonMobil spokesman Christian Flathman said Thursday.

TURIN, N.Y. (AP) – Kevin Ward Jr. was remembered as a “small-town boy” who loved his sport during Thursday’s funeral for the 20-yearold dirt-track racer whose car was hit by one driven by NASCAR champion Tony Stewart.

More than 700 mourners jammed the South Lewis Senior High School auditorium for the 90-minute service, a mix of tears and cheerful recollections of someone who began racing at a young age.

“Even if he had rough day, he always had a smile,” a tearful Dylan Swiernick said of his best friend and car-obsessed buddy. “We were just two small-town boys trying to make it in the big world. He was always working on something.

It was unbelievable how smart he was. He never got down on himself when weren’t going his way.”

Other friends and Ward’s three sisters also spoke during the service, which filled the auditorium to capacity, with some mourners standing along the edges of the venue. Ward, a 2012 South Lewis graduate, was buried in his nearby hometown of Port Leyden, 55 miles from Syracuse.

Ward died Saturday night at a track 140 miles away in Canandaigua, where Stewart was riding a day before the Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen. starts this season, the last coming in July at New Hampshire.

The 21-time Sprint Cup winner parted ways with Richard Childress Racing at the end of the season, and Ryan Newman replaced him at RCR. Burton works as an analyst for NBC.

NOTRE DAME

Irish want to be back in ‘national conversation’

By TOM COYNE The Associated Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Notre Dame has four straight winning seasons for the first time this century, played a key role in deciding the national championship for two straight seasons and reclaimed the title of winningest football program it lost to Michigan in 2003.

That’s still not enough to satisfy Fighting Irish fans who measure success by national championships and have been waiting since 1988 for the school to win another. The Irish slipped to 9-4 last season and finished the season ranked No. 21.

They went 12-0 in the regular season in 2012 before an embarrassing 42-14 loss to Alabama in the title game. The highlight of last season was a 17-13 victory over Michigan State, a lone loss that cost the Spartans a shot at the national championship.

Coach Brian Kelly acknowledges that isn’t good enough.

“You don’t want to have an undefeated season and then have just winning seasons. You want to be part of the national conversation,” he said. “At Notre Dame, that’s where we want to be.”

Kelly enters this season in a position like few Irish coaches – without a national championship after four seasons and without his job in jeopardy.

The only Notre Dame coach who lasted more than five seasons without winning a national championship was Elmer Layden, who coached the Irish for seven seasons from 1934-40.

McIntosh was fairly efficient and said he thought it went pretty well, but said he missed two or three throws he needed to hit.

One noteworthy performance on offense came from junior running back Keith Harris Jr., who had some nice runs, including a long touchdown scamper of about 70 yards.

He suffered an ankle injury last season and missed

NIU vs. Presbyterian, 6 p.m., Aug. 28, AM-560, FM-98.9 spring practice and has been limited during camp with a hamstring injury.

“It’s nice to be a quarterback handing off to him,” McIntosh said. “He’s a great running back, we have a boatload of running backs that we can hand the ball off to and they’re going to do something with it. It’s a great asset to our team.”

The season-opener against

Presbyterian was exactly two weeks from Thursday’s scrimmage.

Earlier this week, Carey said the coaching staff would consider splitting up the reps differently depending on how the scrimmage went.

McIntosh said the scrimmage was big in terms of the competition.

“The coaches love to see you in live situations,” he said. “The quarterbacks weren’t getting hit, but they love to see you in live situations and see how you do and see how you move the ball and see how consistent you are.”

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly talks with quarterback Everett Golson during practice Aug. 9 in South Bend, Ind. Golson has reclaimed the job as Notre Dame’s starting quarterback after being suspended last semester for academic impropriety. at Notre Dame Stadium, new Under Armour uniforms, four games against Atlantic Coast Conference opponents and a fan base eager for some oldstyle success. Here are two things to know about the Irish: Scoring points: Kelly arrived at Notre Dame with a reputation as an offensive-minded coach, keeping defenses off-balance with a no-huddle, hurry-up spread attack. In his final season at Cincinnati in 2009, the Bearcats finished fourth in the nation in scoring at 38.6 points a game. In four seasons at Notre Dame the Irish haven’t averaged better than 26.3 points a game.

Kelly hopes having an experienced, mobile quarterback in Everett Golson, who is back after serving a semester academic suspension, will allow the Irish to score more points

by using the read option and running a no-huddle, hurry-up spread attack.

Attacking defense: The Irish enjoyed a lot of success using former defensive coordinator Bob Diaco’s read-and-react style, finishing in the top 27 in scoring defense nationally four straight years. Diaco is head coach at Connecticut now, replaced by Brian VanGorder, who prefers a more attacking scheme. The Irish are inexperienced up in the front seven, with former walkon Joe Schmidt expected to start at middle linebacker. The Irish have a difference-maker in linebacker Jaylon Smith, though, and a lot of experience in the backfield, especially at corner with KeiVarae Russell and Cody Riggs, a transfer from Florida who was fourth on the Gators in tackles last season.

Changing Lives Mission trip brings teens closer to God and each other

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com

T

yler Hull knows he returned to Sycamore a different person than he was before he left for a mission trip in Montana.

Hull, 14, went on his first mission trip this year with Life Missions.

It won’t be his last.

“I wish I was there right now,” Hull said. “I want that feeling back that everyone was there to help out and everyone knew what you were going through. I want that feeling again where nobody’s judging you.”

More than 100 teenagers and adults traveled to the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation in Lame Deer, Montana, through the Life Missions group based out of the Sycamore United Methodist Church. While there, they helped locals with their homes, played with local children and learned more about themselves.

Hull knew he wanted to join the group after seeing pictures from previous trips.

If you go n WHAT: Life Mission members will share their

experiences from their trip to the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation in Montana. The presentation is open to the public. n WHEN: 5 p.m. Aug. 23 and 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Aug. 24 n WHERE: Sycamore United Methodist Church, 160 Johnson Ave., Sycamore He expected to enjoy the trip, but didn’t realize how close it would bring him to the other teens and to God. “It really showed me all the miracles and everyday workings he’s doing throughout the whole world in the littlest ways,” Hull said. “Looking around at the beautiful landscape it really brought out all those underlying messages.”

The trips through Life Missions are open to all teenagers entering high school through their first year of college.

When they started five years ago, 13 teen-

agers went on the trip.

Joe Munro, the youth director at SUMC, said teens don’t decide on a whim to go on the trip. To be able to be part of Life Missions, teens spend nine months trying to raise nearly $400 to pay for half the cost of the trip. They also spend time with the others who will journey across the United States with them.

“The idea is to build a community of brothers and sisters in Christ,” Munro said.

This year the groups were split up into two weeks. From July 19 to 27, 46 teens and 10 adults crammed into vans and drove to Montana for four days of service work. In the second week from July 26 to Aug. 3, 48 teens and 12 adults did the same.

Their days started with wakeup calls at 6:45 a.m. After rustling off the floor or air mattresses they slept on, they had breakfast and devotion, a time for them to pray by themselves. Work started at 8:30 a.m. and ran until around 4 p.m. Missionaries rounded off the evening with

dinner, an evening activity, worship and church time before heading to sleep around 11 p.m.

In Munro’s eyes, the trips bond the teens to the community they are helping, but also to each other.

“When you have to spend that much time together, they put their shields down and get to know someone.”

Zoe Bond won’t forget the friendships she developed with other teens from DeKalb County that she would never have met if it weren’t for the mission trip.

“We build these relationships that will last forever,” Bond said.

The trip to Montana was the 18-yearold Sycamore resident’s third trip. As an experienced missionary, she took on an unofficial leadership role, guiding some of the younger, less experienced teens.

Bond, like Hull, also grew in her faith.

“It really helps you open up and show other people what it’s like and what my faith is,” Bond said. “It changes your life.”

Pope to Koreas: Avoid ‘fruitless’ shows of force

By NICOLE WINFIELD and JUNG-YOON CHOI The Associated Press SEOUL, South Korea – Pope Francis called Thursday for peace and unity on the war-divided Korean Peninsula and for both sides to avoid “fruitless” criticisms and shows of force, offering a message of reconciliation at the start of a five-day visit to South Korea that received a stark response from the North.

North Korea fired three short-range projectiles into the sea off its eastern coast about an hour before Francis landed in Seoul, and two others a short while later. North Korea has conducted several such tests this year, and it also has a long history of making sure it is not forgotten during high-profile events in the South.

Neither Francis nor South Korean President Park Geunhye referred to the firings in their speeches at Seoul’s presidential palace, and the Vatican spokesman sought to downplay the incident altogether, saying he wasn’t even sure the pope had been told.

In the first speech of his first trip to Asia, Francis told Park, government officials and regional diplomats that peace required justice – and that justice in turn requires forgiveness, cooperation and mutual respect. He said diplomacy must be encouraged so that listening and dialogue replace “mutual recriminations, fruitless criticisms and displays of force.”

“We cannot become discouraged in our pursuit of these goals which are for the good not only of the Korean people but of the entire region and the whole world,” he said, in the first English-language speech of his pontificate. Usually Francis speaks in Italian or his native Spanish, but the Vatican said he would deliver at least four speeches in English on the trip to accommo-

haven’t had diplomatic ties since 1951. “From the church’s position we are very sorry that this has happened.”

There was a small breakthrough overnight, however, when Francis sent a telegram of greetings to Chinese President Xi Jinping as he flew through Chinese airspace.

The last time a pope sought to come to South Korea – St. John Paul II in 1989 – Beijing refused to let his Alitalia charter fly overhead.

Park, the South Korean president, said she hoped the pope’s presence would heal AP photo the Korean Peninsula’s “long Pope Francis (left) and South Korean President Park Geun-hye inspect wounds of division,” referring an honor guard during a welcome ceremony at the presidential house to the 1950-53 Korean War, in Seoul, South Korea, Thursday. which continues to divide the date his Asian audiences.

North Korea’s apparent test firing was conducted from Wonsan on its east coast, according to a South Korean Defense Ministry official who spoke on condition of anonymity, citing office rules.

It wasn’t immediately clear what the projectiles were.

North Korea has expressed anger over annual military drills between the United States and South Korea, which it says are invasion preparations. A new round of drills, which Seoul and Washington call routine and defensive, is expected to start in coming days.

As he arrived at an airport just south of Seoul on the first papal visit in a quarter century, the pope shook hands with four relatives of victims of a South Korean ferry sinking that killed more than 300 and two descendants of Korean martyrs who died rather than renounce their faith. Francis on Saturday will beatify 124 Korean martyrs who founded the church on the peninsula in the 18th century, hoping to give South Korea’s vibrant and growing church new models for holiness and evangelization.

Some elderly Catholics wiped tears from their faces,

bowing deeply as they greeted the pope on the tarmac. A boy and girl in traditional Korean dress presented Francis with a bouquet of flowers, and he bowed in return. The pope then stepped into a small, black, locally made Kia car that turned heads in the status-conscious capital, where many would consider it too humble for someone of the pope’s stature.

Francis, however, prefers simpler cars like the Ford Focus he uses to zip around the Vatican.

The main reason for Francis’ trip is to participate in an Asian Catholic youth festival.

He is to travel to Daejeon on Friday for his first encounter with the thousands of Catholics who have flocked to South Korea for the Asian version of the World Youth Day. Organizers, however, said many Chinese Catholics were prevented from coming.

A spokesman for the organizing committee, the Rev. Heo Young-yeop, declined to give a figure but said “many students wanted to come but were unable to come to Korea because of the complicated situation,” a reference to the tense relations between Beijing and the Holy See, which

“Division has been a big scar for all Koreans,” she said.

Francis sought to encourage the pursuit of peace.

“Korea’s quest for peace is a cause close to our hearts, for it affects the stability of the entire area and indeed of our whole war-weary world,” he said. “May all of us dedicate these days to peace: to praying for it and deepening our resolve to achieve it.”

The pope is also expected to meet with some families of victims of the South Korean ferry sinking in April. The government’s response to the disaster, which killed mostly high school students, has an-

gered many South Koreans.

“A lot of bad things keep happening in our country right now, and people are going through tough times,” said Ryun Sun-hee, a 19-yearold college student. “So I hope this event can encourage people and bring more positive things to our country.”

South Korea’s church, which has been growing steadily over the last half century, is seen as a model for the future. Local church officials hope for a continuing increase in believers in a country that once welcomed missionaries to help spread the faith but now sends its own priests and nuns abroad to evangelize in other countries.

Man’s affair is over, marriage still in limbo Dear Abby: My husband of 30 years had an affair a year and a half ago. We struggled through the aftermath and are trying to restart our relationship. He remained in touch with the other woman until she finally pulled the plug on him, and now he has no interest in talking with me about our relationship or how to improve it.

He is distant and refuses to say “I love you.” He doesn’t initiate hugs or kisses. He will initiate sex every so often, but I am usually the one who seems to need more contact.

When I question him, he tells me everything is all right and I am making a mountain out of a molehill.

We have good times, but I really feel his lack of affection.

I don’t want to leave this man. I love him dearly and have for many years. Should I

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips keep waiting for the renewal or has my membership here lapsed and I’m just kidding myself? – Frozen Out in Alaska Dear Frozen Out: Because you love him dearly and don’t want to leave him, stay put.

However, everything isn’t all right, and you are not making a mountain out of a molehill.

Your husband appears to be punishing you for something, and unless you get to the bottom of it, your relationship with him will remain icy cold.

A licensed marriage counselor may be able to help you rebuild your relationship, but it won’t happen unless he is willing to try. If he isn’t,

then you should go without him and let the therapist help you decide if this is the way you want to live the rest of your life.

Dear Abby: If you will print this, it would help pharmacy technicians everywhere.

Drive-thru windows are for convenience, not SPEED. We are not handing out hamburgers. But if you have new insurance, questions for a pharmacist, a large order or anything out of the ordinary, please come into the store. To do otherwise is rude to the people in line behind you who will blame us because they had to wait.

You take a new insurance card to your doctor, and you should do the same at the pharmacy. We’re not psychic and we don’t automatically know your insurance has changed. Entering new data correctly is time-consuming, and you are not the only one

who “forgot” – so refrain from directing your impatience at us.

Don’t hang onto a new prescription for weeks and present it to us in a hurry.

Bring it to the pharmacy to be placed in your file, then call a day ahead to say you want it filled. Call in advance for maintenance drugs, too. That way, you won’t have to wait for your medication.

Do not panic about holidays, weekends or weather.

WE ARE OPEN. We will need the prescription number or name to fill it correctly.

Pay close attention to the number of refills and the expiration dates on each vial.

If you are out of refills, obviously we can’t fill it without a new prescription from your doctor.

Abby, we start early, stay late and skip breaks to help the sick. Common sense and accountability are needed.

We are here to help patients efficiently and courteously.

Please remind your readers that pharmacy employees deserve the same in return.

– Stressed Tech in Pennsylvania Dear Stressed Tech: My hat is off to you and I’m glad to help. Your suggestions are sensible. Customer service is one of the hardest jobs in the world, and working with people who are sick, hungry or stressed can make it even more difficult.

Readers, losing one’s temper and being rude will not improve service, and may impede it. I have found that the process of picking up and dropping off prescriptions goes more smoothly if it’s done at other than peak hours.

Knee, hip pain relief without drugs, surgery Dear Dr. K: I have constant knee and hip pain. How can I relieve my pain without drugs or surgery?

Dear Reader: For several years, I asked myself the same question. I had severe arthritis in my right hip, the result of a sports injury when I was a young adult. The pain really was interfering with my life. I was limping, and that made me feel old. Worse, I loved long walks – particularly in new places, on vacation – and I just couldn’t do it anymore. But I didn’t want to have surgery.

The pain from a bad hip or knee can come from the hip or knee joint itself. But it also can come from tissues and

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff muscles near the hip or knee that are strained by trying to compensate for the bad hip or knee. In my case, almost all of my pain came not from the bad hip joint, but from the leg muscles and tendons that were being overworked because my hip could not bear my weight normally.

Fortunately, there are ways to relieve pain without drugs or surgery. Three non-surgical treatments are particularly helpful: Ultrasound. Therapeutic

ultrasound sends sound waves into tissues near your hip or knee. The sound waves help to increase blood flow, relax muscle spasms and aid healing. The therapist applies gel to your skin and glides an ultrasound wand over your skin around the painful area. The wand gives off sound waves, which penetrate the skin and enter the deeper tissues.

Therapeutic exercise.

Strengthening the muscles around a damaged knee or hip can help reduce stress on a joint. For example, your hips have to do less work to support your body weight if the muscles in your thighs, buttocks and abdomen are strong. Strong thigh muscles

can also take on some of the shock-absorbing work normally done by the knee. The proper balance of strength in surrounding muscles can hold the knee and hip joints in the most functional and least painful position.

Flexibility exercises (to stretch and relax specific muscles) are another important component of an exercise plan to improve joint function. I’ve put descriptions and photos of a few knee and hip strengthening exercises on my website.

Gait retraining. Knee and hip problems can cause pain, restrict joint movement or weaken muscles. To compensate, you may change the way

you stand, walk or run. Over time, your modified standing, walking or running patterns may further injure your joints. It’s a vicious cycle.

A physical therapist can analyze your gait, or walking pattern, and help you learn to move more efficiently.

I eventually needed surgery: My hip joint was basically destroyed. I’m glad I had the surgery, but I’m also glad I was able to get relief from non-surgical treatments. For some of my patients with hip or knee pain, the non-surgical treatments are all they ever need.

Female bulling makes high school miserable Dr. Wallace: It seems like whenever there is a mention of bullies it is about boy bullies. A lot of people don’t believe it, but there are a lot of girls who have been bullied by other girls. Girl bullies can be very vicious and sometimes they are even worse than the boy bullies. They trip you, push you down the stairs, pull your hair, grab your books and throw them around, and that’s not to even mention the mean and nasty things they say to you and even spread untrue rumors about you.

inflict misery on other girls.

While the boys are more physical than girls and more likely to be involved in fights, girls rule when it comes to inflicting psychological violence on one another, according to a study of U.S. students in grades six through 10 published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Boys were more likely than girls to bully or be bullied, but not by a whole lot. Female bullying has made high school miserable for many young women and has often left lasting pain.

The fact is that girls don’t fear boys; they fear other

8SUDOKU

girls. Almost 14 percent of the girls surveyed reported that they had been bullied by a female weekly or even more often; another 22 percent said they’d been bullied once or twice during the school year.

While both boys and girls commonly bullied others with belittling looks or speech, the girls were more apt to use rumor or sexual comments and, some even would try to destroy another girl’s reputation. Some of the most vicious fights on school grounds were between girls, according to the study.

The problem of girl versus girl is much more severe than parents and educators

believe. Many people still see girls as “sugar and spice and everything nice.” Some are, but some aren’t! It’s time parents, and especially school personnel, identify bullying behavior among females and seek to eliminate it.

I’m very pleased that you are enjoying your new school and that bullying is a thing of the past. Most people don’t even realize the terror and trauma a student suffers from being bullied. Only the student who is being bullied can relate. It’s a terribly lonely feeling.

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

Tapping the dummy might strand a suit Mitch Hedberg, a stand-up comedian who died in 2005, said, “I would imagine that if you could understand Morse code, a tap dancer would drive you crazy.”

In a few bridge deals, the defenders can lead declarer through a merry dance by tapping him – leading side-suit winners to make declarer ruff in one hand or the other. This is usually done either to make declarer lose trump control, or to strand a long suit so that declarer cannot establish and run it.

This deal occurred during a social game and the auction is given as it happened. After the first round, I think South should have made a negative double to show his heart suit, not responded one no-trump without a sure spade stopper.

North did not know what to do over two spades. Not expecting his partner to have four hearts, North wondered about three no-trump and five clubs. So he cue-bid three spades to ask South if he really could control spades. Now South tried four hearts, which North, reading correctly, passed. Yes, perhaps he should have chosen five clubs, an easy contract to make.

Against four hearts, West led an imaginative spade king.

South ruffed in the dummy and should have immediately played on clubs. But before leading the club king, he drew two rounds of trumps, leaving the ace on the board.

East erred by winning with his club ace. Yes, ducking risks South’s having only a singleton, but declarer would surely have played a club at trick two in that situation. If East had taken the second club and led another spade to tap the dummy, the contract would have gone down in flames.
