By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – When Susan Milford said she wanted the community to be a part of the new $233 million hospital at the Centegra Health System campus in Huntley, she meant it in a more literal way than one would expect.

Hundreds of community members had the opportunity to become a permanent part of the future hospital Saturday by signing their names on a beam before it was raised as part of the ongoing construction of the 300,000-squarefoot facility.

CARY – The Cary Village Board this week could have a change of heart on the proposed 60-unit apartment complex at First and Pearl Streets.

On Tuesday, the Village Board is scheduled to consider whether to rescind an ordinance that allows Pedcor Investments to build the $18 million affordable housing apartment complex.

There has been vocal opposition to the project, which was approved by the Village Board on June 17 in a 4-2 vote. Village President Mark Kownick and Trustees Rick Dudek, David Chapman and Bob Bragg voted for the project. Trustees Karen Lukasik and Jeff Kraus voted against it.

Trustee Bruce Kaplan recused himself from the discussion and vote because he is the listing agent for the property.

A website, carymatters. com, and corresponding Facebook page, has led a campaign and online petition calling for the board to reverse its decision.

The group has set up billboards that say “No Cary Low Income Apartment Housing.

We came, we spoke, the Mayor didn’t care.” Billboards are being placed at almost every major entry and exit point in town, as well as in Lake in the Hills and Fox River Grove, said website administrator Jim Cosler.

Districts nationwide debate merits of master’s for teachers

By JAMIE STENGLE The Associated Press DALLAS – Efforts to eliminate extra pay for teachers who earn advanced degrees are gaining momentum in a small but growing number of U.S. schools, stirring a national debate about how best to compensate quality educators and angering teachers who say

the extra training is valuable.

More than half of the nation’s teachers have master’s degrees or higher, but the changing salary structure is giving pause to others considering the same path. Texas’ two largest school districts, in Houston and Dallas, recently eliminated advanced degree pay going forward, following the example of North Caroli-

SPORTS

na, where lawmakers last year started phasing it out. A few other states have made tweaks to reduce how much advanced degrees factor into pay.

“They’re trying to say there’s no value at all for a teacher going back to increase their knowledge,” said Rena Honea, president of Alliance-AFT, which represents Dallas Independent School

District employees. “Just by having the additional knowledge in their content area gives them more tools in their toolbox to be able to reach the different types of learners that are in the classroom.”

Those championing dropping the extra pay say advanced degrees don’t necessarily translate into better student test scores. They say

the money is better spent elsewhere, such as on rewarding teachers deemed most effective in the classroom.

“Effectiveness is more based on results rather than any checklist of things,” said Dallas Superintendent Mike Miles, who implemented a pay-for-performance system in the district, as he did at his previous district in Colorado.

“So years of service and the advanced degrees are checklist-type things.”

Yet the backlash in North Carolina grew so intense that the state is now looking at reinstating the extra pay for those teaching classes related to the subject in which they have an advanced degree. It’s

Northwest Herald Web Poll Question

Tanks, but no tanks, on police militarization I don’t know why police officers and journalists often end up at loggerheads, especially since we share the sacred bond that everybody hates our guts until they need our help.

Having said that, I humbly offer local law enforcement agencies advice before they follow Spring Grove’s lead and buy an armored war machine from Crazy Uncle Sam’s Used Tanks: “Red Dawn” was just a movie. So was the lousy remake.

No, really. Soviet paratroopers aren’t going to drop on Woodstock or turn the McHenry Outdoor Theater into a re-education camp. The two kids who kicked all that commie tail were actors named Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen. As for the Soviet Union, it went belly-up more than 20 years ago.

So do McHenry County’s police departments really need military vehicles meant to defeat enemies on a battlefield? The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office has one for its SWAT team, and has made a case as to why. But Spring Grove, population 5,800?

The sheriff’s office SWAT team and the Spring Grove Police Department have recently acquired MRAPs through a little-known military surplus program. For those of you who have never been told, “Drop and give me 25,” MRAP stands for mine-resistant armor protected vehicle – it’s actually an entire class of military vehicles designed to protect soldiers from mines and improvised explosive devices.

They served an important role in the Iraq War, given terrorists’ penchant for planting roadside bombs.

Given that the scourge of roadside bombs is significantly less pronounced in McHenry County, one is allowed – I’d argue obligated – to ask tough questions about what critics call the militarization of our police forces.

I’ve watched with dismay as police departments nationwide have adopted military tactics, uniforms and vehicles meant for Iraq and Afghanistan, not Island Lake and Algonquin. As I wrote

VIEWS Kevin Craver in my June 21 story about the vehicle purchases, critics have a valid concern whether police departments are starting to look at the communities they serve as war zones, and the taxpayers paying their salaries as combatants.

Yes, criminals can be well-armed, courtesy of the money that comes from this nation’s insatiable appetite for illegal drugs. And yes, we want to give police the tools to fight crime.

But there’s such a thing as overkill, and police departments snapping up military vehicles and weapons is only part of the problem. Revenues from drug asset forfeiture laws are allowing police departments all over the nation to create and fund SWAT teams, which are now being routinely deployed to violently take down nonviolent offenders, and in a growing number of botched raids, hurting innocent people. Do I think this will happen in McHenry County? I hope not. But that temptation will grow if more departments get their hands on MRAPs, grenade launchers and other gear.

I know this because of my firsthand experience as an Army infantryman.

When you give people in dangerous jobs new toys, they always search for ways to play with them. Anyone who’s ever worn the uniform in a combat arms unit knows exactly what I’m talking about. When government gets a new power, it always finds every creative way possible to exercise it.

It shows in the statistics – police with increasingly alarming frequency are employing military vehicles and violent SWAT entries for investigations that could have been handled by a knock on the door. In a recent and horrifying example in Georgia, a SWAT team ripped a toddler open with a flashbang grenade in a raid that produced no guns, no drugs and no arrests.

The sheriff’s SWAT team is the only one in McHenry County. Sheriff Keith Nygren told me for my story that it is only deployed for the true life-and-death situations for which SWAT was created, not to bust down a door, flex-cuff horrified kids and shoot the family dog because of a tip that the teenage kid has a gram of pot.

We can keep it this way by making sure other local police departments don’t snatch up MRAPs of their own. Hopefully Spring Grove’s will serve no duty other than firing Jolly Ranchers out of its windows at summer parades, and that the MRAP’s subliminal pleas to the police to take it out and play with it will go unheeded.

I’ve found in my 14 years in McHenry County that it is full of good cops and deputies. This will change if they start doing their jobs in armored vehicles and Humvees. The culture that will develop will chase most of the good ones out, marginalize and silence the rest, and attract the wrong kind of people into police work.

As a former soldier, I very much understand the desire of police officers or anyone else in a high-risk business to die of old age and not in the line of duty.

But every police officer, like every Armed Forces recruit, is a volunteer who knew the job was dangerous when they took it.

A police officer’s desire to make it home to his or her family does not trump our Constitutional rights, just as a soldier’s desire to make it home does not give him or her the right to disregard the laws of war. I took an oath way back when to defend that Constitution, and I still consider myself bound by it.

And because the laws of war don’t apply on the streets of McHenry County, its police departments have no need for any more battlefield vehicles.

Hospital on track to meet 2016 opening date Abby Ressler, 5, of Huntley ascends a rock climbing wall during Centegra’s annual Family Health Fest, which also doubled as the community beam raising event for the new hospital slated to open in 2016, at Centegra’s Huntley campus.

• CENTEGRA Continued from page A1 Saturday for a day of rock climbing, beam signing and learning about the new 128-bed hospital. It is only the second new hospital approved in Illinois in the past 30 years.

“We wanted to involve the community and we thought this would be perfect,” said Milford, senior vice president of strategy and development for Centegra. “It’s their hospital so we wanted them to participate in its building.”

The event, which was done in conjunction with Centegra’s annual Family Health Fest, also drew roughly 200 local leaders, donors, politicians and hospital administrators.

Huntley High School junior Brianna Wilder had an opportunity to address the group of VIPs and discuss the new hospital’s role in the school’s medical academy and its importance to the community.

“I think it will be awesome to have something like this closer to home,” said the aspiring medical professional. “It’s pretty cool I can be a part of this and help spread the word.”

Those who attended the beam raising event saw the hospital is on track to hit the late summer 2016 opening date as the exterior shell is taking shape. Milford said the project is about 10 percent complete and interior work would begin in the fall.

The project has created about 800 con-

struction jobs and will require roughly 1,000 staff members and medical professionals to operate it once it opens. Chief Executive Officer Michael Eesley said staffing would be a mix of existing personnel transferring and new hires.

Once the Huntley hospital is up and running, Eesley said it would be a stateof-the-art facility in design and operations.

“It’s going to be a significant presence for women’s health. That is definitely one of the big programs,” he said. “But it will have all the services our other locations offer. People have to leave the community to get that level of care right now, so I think they are pretty excited about it being here.”

All patient rooms in the hospital will be private, with accommodations for family members including room to sleep over and the same room service the patient receives.

Other features include a center for new mothers with an advanced care nursery, a dining service with freshly prepared food, and a chest pain and stroke center.

Those interested can follow construction progress live at www.centegra.org/ service/construction-updates.

“We had 16,000 letters of support sent to the state,” Milford said of the outpouring of support the project has received from the beginning. “I couldn’t be happier with how it has gone. It really is the community’s hospital.”

LOCAL BRIEF Ness to speak at Crystal Lake church CRYSTAL LAKE – Lou Ness, who completed her journey on foot from Rockford to Washington, D.C., last month, will speak at The First Congregational Church of Crystal Lake.

Ness, a Woodstock resident and ordained deacon in the Episcopal Church, will discuss her trip at the Spirit Worship at 5:30 p.m. July 19 at the church, 461 Pierson St., Crystal Lake.

Ness’ 900-mile walk began April 1 and took about 80 days to complete. She was responding to what she said was a clear call from God. She called the trip “Hear Our Cry: Marching for America’s Poor.”

Her goal was to shed light on the needs of the poor and change the way the country discusses the impoverished.

She took her experiences to the Capitol, and she met with legislators upon arrival in Washington, D.C. Ness, a former director at Turning Point of McHenry County in Woodstock, is currently the executive director at Shelter Care Ministries in Rockford.

They help run Hispanic group’s conference

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com Some familiar faces were among top youth running the League of United Latin American Citizens National Conference in New York this week.

Seven of the 24 Illinois teens at the conference were from McHenry County, and several of those six held top-ranking national positions in the organization.

The League of United Latin

American Citizens (LULAC) is a volunteer-based civil rights organization and the oldest Hispanic organization in the U.S. “LULAC really does help a lot of youth and we did inspire a lot of other youth at this convention,” said Roman Rodriguez, a Woodstock High School junior and LULAC’s youth president. “It’s a lot of work but it was definitely well worth the event.”

More than 20,000 people par-

ticipate in the national convention each year, including top leaders from the government, business and Hispanic community, according to LULAC’s website.

McHenry County youth participated in pre-convention activities earlier this week, and then stuck around for the convention in New York City.

Happy faces for 2nd day of ‘Fiesta’ Fest organizers hope for good weather at night

By CYNTHIA WOLF editorial@nwherald.com McHENRY – Eyes big, 2-year-old Henry Gilbert looked at the clanking, whirring machinery all around.

“Daddy, look at that!” he said, pointing at a big spoke on which small airplanes awaited young pilots.

“Look at that,” said his dad, Colin Gilbert. The Arlington Heights resident happened across the McHenry Fiesta Days carnival Saturday as he was in the area visiting with his father-in-law, Gordon Goranson of Wonder Lake.

About 1:40 p.m. Saturday, the trio stood under pregnant-looking skies and had their pick of no-wait rides.

“How cool is that?” Colin Gilbert said to Henry, who walked off with his grandfather and boarded a plane that said U.S. Navy Blue Angels on it, the towhead’s smile broadening as the plane began to circle.

Fiesta Days started Friday and continues through July 20.

Sunday’s visitors to Petersen Park will hear Heartache Tonight, an Eagles tribute band, and American English, a Beatles tribute band. Food, beer and wine are available.

Petersen Park is off the south side of McCullom Lake Road, west of Richmond Road.

Improvements, equipment purchases in J’burg budget

Adrian L. Pearson 88, Lake in the Hills

By EMILY K. COLEMAN

Kenneth J. Spark 67, Spring Grove

ecoleman@shawmedia.com JOHNSBURG – Security cameras, parking lot improvements and streetscaping along Johnsburg Road are some of expenditures the village of Johnsburg has lined up.

A recently approved budget

Alice Mae Wilcox 94, Woodstock Robert P. Williams 59, Sharon, Wis.

estimates the village will have just shy of $6 million worth of expenses, about $110,000 more than was budgeted for last fiscal year.

Most of that – about $4.72 million – will come out of the village’s general fund, which is used to pay salaries, administrative costs and for other day-

to-day business. The village has separate funds for capital projects, road improvements, and the water and sewer departments.

The slight increase in expenses will be paid for in part by an expected 12 percent increase in police fines and additional increases in building

and development-related fees as a result of activity resuming in the Running Brook Farms subdivision.

The amount Johnsburg collected in fines was up last year and is expected to climb again because more cases are being handled by the village’s administrative adjudication pro-

cess, which allows the village to keep a larger portion of the fine than if the case had been handled by the county, Village Administrator Claudett Peters said.

The police department makes up the largest portion

The police department plans to buy some mobile computer replacements, a speed radar unit, IT cloud enhancements and communication equipment. The budget also reflects the addition of two new officers last fiscal year.

An accountant position also went to full-time from parttime, and a part-time seasonal public works employee became full-time.

The parks and building department also has some projects on the horizon, Peters said.

About $11,000 is set aside for

maintenance on Johnsburg’s boat launch, Peters said. Another $14,000 is planned for security cameras at the Village Hall and Sunnyside Park, though some of the Village Hall cameras will be paid for using a grant.

The parking lots at Sunnyside Park and at the public works facility are also set to be repaved, she said.

One of the larger projects is the streetscape enhancements planned as part of the Johnsburg Road improvement project. About 80 percent of the cost will be covered by a grant, but the village has to cover the remaining $211,000.

The village has been setting aside dollars for the project for the past three years, Peters said.

District 26 has no objection Festival participants hopeful despite dreary weather By the numbers

• CARY Continued from page A1

Estimated revenue impact Property tax: $84,168 (Figure provided by Pedcor. Amount would be split among various taxing bodies. The latest property tax bill for the proposed 4.5-acre location was $26,380.)

Additional sales tax: $6,551.90 Additional motor fuel, income tax and use tax: $18,266.46 (These taxes are figured on a per person basis. Additional revenue wouldn’t come until after the next census.)

Projected fees to be paid by Pedcor District 26: $57,441.80 District 155: $30,930.20 Park district: $195,852 Fire district: $30,000 Library district: $24,300 Village building permit: $53,546.48 Village water/sewer tap-on: $111,648 Municipal building fund: $250,000

The group also has distributed fliers and conducted an Illinois Housing Development Authority letter campaign, Cosler said.

Cosler added the group has retained an attorney to explore legal remedies against the project.

“Honestly the response is overwhelming,” Cosler said in an email to the Northwest Herald. “It has been a true testament to the strength of our community.”

Village Administrator Chris Clark said the village has not received any threats of lawsuits pending a decision on Tuesday. Pedcor Investments Executive Vice President Thomas Crowe did not wish to comment for this article.

The development of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments is projected to bring 131 people, according to village documents.

To help build the apartment complex, which would be next to the Oak Knoll Apartments, Pedcor hopes to receive federal low-income-housing tax credits through the Illinois Housing Development Authority.

The tax credit program, which was created in 1986, is meant to allow developers to offer lower rents.

Applications for the next set of tax credits are due to IHDA

by July 25. Adding the 60 units of affordable housing would help the village work toward a state mandate for each municipality of at least 1,000 people to have at least 10 percent of housing units be deemed “affordable.” Currently Cary has 6.9 percent affordable units, according to IHDA. The 10 percent mandate is set up under the 2003 Affordable Housing Planning and Appeals Act.

Source: Village of Cary According to village estimates, the complex would add nine students to District 26.

Those nine students would have minimal impact, Coleman said.

District 155 could see an additional three students.

For kindergarten through fifth grade, the District 26 students would go to Three Oaks School, which is estimated to have an average class size of 22 students for next school year, below the district average of 25, Coleman said.

“The classroom average is pretty reasonable at this point,” Coleman said.

Those numbers may change when numbers are finalized after the school year begins.

The school districts also would receive impact fees. District 26 would receive about $57,000, which would go toward its day-to-day operations, Coleman said.

He said any other financial impact, such as additional state aid for a possible increase in average daily attendance, would be minimal.

“Either way you look at it, it’s really a minimal impact on our district,” Coleman said.

NO CONCERNS FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT District 26, the kindergarten through eighth-grade district that went though financial difficulties in recent years, has no objections to the Pedcor proposal in Cary, said Superintendent Brian Coleman.

Hispanic community benefits from its shared experience facing a lot of problems,” he said. “We are trying to boost everyone’s confidence and say whatever goal you put in front of yourself, you’ll accomplish that goal. Whatever it is.”

Five other McHenry County students joined Perez and Rodriguez during the week: Mariana Alanis of Crystal Lake, Gabriel Rodriguez of Woodstock, Abram Rodriguez of Woodstock, Ashley Mendoza of Woodstock and Thomas Martinez of Woodstock.

Roman Rodriguez said the group will leave New York City energized, but he added another, unexpected takeaway from the early part of the trip.

“That Princeton is one of our dream schools,” he said.

“And that it’s not impossible to get in there.”

• LULAC Continued from page A3 year hosted at Princeton University in nearby Princeton, New Jersey.

Sergio Perez, a Crystal Lake Central graduate who will head to Northern Illinois University in the fall, said the teens spent the three days learning, participating in panels and sharing their experiences.

“We were just telling stories, really,” said Perez, 18. “Telling them what we’ve been going through and [hearing] what they’ve been going through.”

Perez, the LULAC national youth treasurer, said the Hispanic community benefits from that shared experience.

Kleinschmidt looked toward a large piece of plywood beneath the bands’ previously mud-mired RV tires. But overall, the park was in good shape to receive visitors Saturday, and all who hoped that rain would skip the area saw sun poking through the clouds by evening.

On Saturday, volunteers like Todd Lowenheim readied the park for the 3:30 p.m. opening. The night’s lineup included Cinderella’s Tom Keifer and Night Ranger. Hopeful vendors prepared their food booths. All eyed the skies.

“This year has been … challenging,” said Jeff Klein-

cago,” Kleinschmidt said.

“They’re not going to cancel unless they absolutely have to.”

Fiesta Days Chairman Dick Paegelow said the festival got off to a solid start Friday as a crowd of about 2,500 enjoyed Modern Day Romeos.

Chamber of Commerce President Kay Rial Bates said she hoped the cloudy skies would not keep people from coming Saturday.

“The park is beautiful,”

she said as Keifer’s band sound-checked and the musician’s children played with a soccer ball before crowds arrived. “It’s kind of neat seeing [the musicians’] families come out.”

“This is always a really nice event,” added Mary Jo Gould of MJ’s Coffee Bar as she prepared to serve buffalo, elk and wild boar sausages and more. “The music’s always great, the food is good, and the beer tent’s close.”

Some teachers have put off pursuing advanced degree • TEACHERS Continued from page A1 among teacher pay issues lawmakers are considering this summer.

In April, the Wake County Public School System – the largest in North Carolina with about 150,000 – said more than 600 teachers had left since the

beginning of the school year, an increase of 41 percent over the same period the year before.

One district official blamed a lack of a significant pay raise in recent years along with the phasing out of tenure and extra pay for advanced degrees.

Human Resources Superintendent Doug Thilman called the figures “alarming” but

“not surprising.”

Tim Barnsback, who teaches an engineering program at a middle school in Burke County, North Carolina, is among educators who have put off pursuing an advanced degree until the situation is resolved.

“Intellectually and professionally, it still interests me and makes a lot of sense,”

Barnsback said. “But economically, it doesn’t make any sense to do it anymore.”

The extra pay for having a master’s degree in North Carolina accounted for 10 percent of a teacher’s base salary from the state. In the Houston and Dallas school districts, the extra pay started at about $1,000 more annually for first-year teachers.

Knee Pain?

NEW FDA APPROVED TREATMENT PROVEN TO RELIEVE KNEE PAIN

You DO NOT Have to Suffer From Knee Pain Any Longer!

HOW DOES THIS TREATMENT WORK?

Over 100 million Americans suffer from knee and joint pain? This pain accounts for 25 percent of all visits to primary care physicians and half of all anti-infl ammatory drug prescriptions.

Have you ever wondered how different your life would be if you could get rid of your knee pain?

Where would you go, what would you do? What would you give for a day, a week or a lifetime of pain-free mobility? We are pleased to announce that knee pain sufferers don’t have to wait any longer to get the most advanced, non-surgical, FDAapproved treatment.

If you suffer from any degree of knee pain, we invite you to regain control of your life by visiting Superior Health & Wellness, a state-of-the-art medical facility.

We use diagnostic ultrasound, allowing the doctor to pinpoint problem areas with extreme accuracy. A viscosupplement is then injected, and the healing process begins. Viscosupplementation bonds with naturally occurring joint fluid to create a lubricating and cushioning layer. It reduces pain, inflammation and swelling of the joint.

Patients compare the treatment to getting a shot at the doctor’s office, and report little pain or discomfort.

WHAT IS INJECTED INTO THE KNEE? Hyaluronic acid is similar to substances that occur naturally in your joint. The outside of the joint (joint capsule) is comprised of a sturdy, fibrous tissue. The lining of the joint capsule contains synovial cells, which secrete a thick, viscous synovial fluid. Hyaluronic acid contributes to the viscous nature of the joint fluid, nourishes the cartilage, helps eliminate waste products, lubricates the joint and acts as a shock absorber inside the joint.

Hyaluronic acid is reduced or lost from those who suffer from osteoarthritis. It is similar to changing the oil in your car. If your car were to run low on oil, you would have some serious wear and tear on the moving parts.

WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS (OA)?

Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease, is the most common type of arthritis. In osteoarthritis, the surface layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away. This allows the bones under the cartilage to rub together, resulting in pain, swelling and loss of motion of the joint. Although in some people it progresses quickly, in most individuals joint damage develops gradually over years.

WHAT CAUSES OSTEOARTHRITIS? The exact cause of osteoarthritis is unknown.

Factors that might cause it include the following: • Being overweight • Getting older (wear and tear) • Joint injury • Joints that are not properly formed (alignment/ imbalance problems) • A genetic defect in the joint cartilage • Stresses on the joints from certain activities, including sports, work and leisure activities

WILL MY PAIN GO AWAY OVER TIME? ✔ Do you wake up with knee pain? ✔ Does your knee pain keep you from certain activities? ✔ Have you been told you need a knee replacement? ✔ Are you active and sometimes suffer from sore knees? ✔ Do you take medications for knee pain? ✔ Do you have difficulty going up and down stairs due to knee pain? ✔ Are you considering surgery to alleviate knee pain? ✔ Have you tried everything to get rid of knee pain with out success?

If you answered yes to at least 4 of these questions, you are ready to experience the relief and healing found at Superior Health & Wellness.

Start living your life

PAIN FREE!

What Do Patients Say? I had reached a point that I could no longer work out in the yard for more than 15 minutes. I couldn’t lift anything heavy, and some days I would have to use a cane because my knee hurt so much. I no longer need to do that. It is progressively getting better each week. Thank you Superior Health & Wellness for caring about my wellness!

– Jenn B. “I had suffered from severe knee pain for months. I went to four different specialists without any relief. When I called Superior Health & Wellness, the staff was understanding and knowledgeable, schedules were rearranged and treatment was provided immediately.

THANK YOU for helping me.”

– Joann F.

WHAT ELSE IS AVAILABLE TO TREAT KNEE PAIN? After careful study and several trials, the FDA approved a new treatment aimed at helping those with knee pain. This new treatment is a high-tech answer for all those who think that surgery, dietary supplements and prescription medications are the only option to eliminate knee pain.

Consider these facts before surgery People who suffer from knee pain typically try supplements or pain medications before seeking help from a doctor. When all else fails and the pain is too much, some feel that surgery is the only option.

Before you put yourself through months of immobility, pain, rehab and hefty medical bills, consider something else.

Johnsburg Road to be closed later this week • JOHNSBURG ROUNDABOUT: The intersection of Johnsburg and Chapel Hill roads will be completely closed to traffic starting Thursday as work on the roundabout enters the final stage. The intersection is expected to be reopened with the project’s scheduled September completion. The $2.7 million project includes decorative lighting, landscaping and brick-paved crosswalks. A lengthy posted detour will take drivers around via Routes 31 and 120 and Chapel Hill Road.

The work is the second phase of a project to improve Johnsburg Road. The first phase, which improved Johnsburg Road from Route 31 east to the roundabout, was finished earlier this year.

• FRANKLINVILLE ROAD: The road between Route 176 and Kunde Road is now closed so workers can replace a 60-yearold bridge. A posted detour will take drivers along a long stretch that includes Route 176, Millstream Road, Garden Valley Road, Vermont Road, Kishwaukee Valley Road and Hobe Road. The $1 million project is expected to be finished by the end of September, weather permitting.

• COUNTRY CLUB ROAD: Expect delays as workers start a $1.4 million project to resurface, patch and stripe the road through Bull Valley. The project is expected to be finished in September.

• ROUTES 31 AND 120: Work is ongoing on a $7.2 million project to widen and resurface Route 120 from Front Street to Green Street and Route 31 from Route 120 north to McCullom Lake Road. It includes improvement of the intersection and replacement of the bridge over the creek that feeds into the Fox River. The new lane configuration remains in effect this weekend, as do the lane closures on Route 120. The project is expected to be finished by November.

• ROUTES 31 AND 176: Work on the $10.2 million intersection

improvement was supposed to wrap up in spring, but it’s still a rush-hour parking lot, so be warned.

• ALGONQUIN WESTERN BYPASS: Budget more time if your travels take you through downtown Algonquin on either Route 31 or Algonquin Road/ Route 62. Watch for workers and expect some delays at the bypass’ intersections with Route 31 north and south of downtown, and on Algonquin Road west of downtown as workers build the overpass and its diamond interchange.

A key component of the $33.3 million project is the building of a 2.1-mile, four-lane highway around downtown to eliminate the infamous rush-hour bottleneck at the intersection of Routes 31 and 62. This is the second year of the two-year project, and work is expected to be finished this fall.

• ROUTE 31: Work has started to widen Route 31 to four lanes from Rakow Road in Crystal Lake south to Trinity Drive in Lake in the Hills. The $5.2 million project is expected to be finished by next spring.

• MARENGO ROAD: Work is ongoing to improve the signals at the intersections of Marengo Road and West Main Street, and Harmony and Hemmer roads west of Huntley. Both intersections will remain open to traffic, but watch for occasional lane closures. Eastbound travel on Main Street will not be permitted because of upcoming bridge work.

• MAIN STREET BRIDGE: Main

Street between Harmony and Coyne Station roads west of Huntley is closed so workers can rehabilitate the bridge over the south branch of the Kishwaukee River. Local traffic will have access to the bridge, but other traffic will be detoured along Routes 47, 176, 23, 20 and Harmony Road. Both the signal project and the bridge work are expected to be finished by early August, weather permitting.

• MARENGO: Prospect Street will be down to one lane through fall as part of a $2.9 million project to widen the road and to add sidewalks and a traffic light at Route 20. The street is open only to northbound traffic, and southbound traffic is being detoured.

• INTERSTATE 90: Budget extra time if your commute involves I-90. Work continues this year to improve a 37-mile segment of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway between Elgin and I-39 in Rockford. Eastbound lanes were improved last year, so traffic is being shifted to them so workers can improve the westbound lanes. That work should be finished by the end of the year. But work also has started to improve a 25-mile segment of I-90 from Elgin east to the Tri-State Tollway.

That work is expected to be finished by the end of 2015. The total cost of the project, meant to widen and improve I-90 between Rockford and O’Hare International Airport, is $2.5 billion.

• ROUTE 176: Work is continuing for an upgrade to the intersection of Route 176 and Smith Road in unincorporated Nunda Township. The $1.5 million project is expected to be finished by November.

• ROUTE 14 IN CARY: Watch for possible delays as work continues on a $1.5 million project to improve Jandus Cutoff from Route 14 to the Union Pacific Railroad tracks. The project is expected to be finished by September.

The Mary and Carl Mueller Rehabilitation Center at Hearthstone Manor provides comprehensive rehabilitation services following surgery or illness.

Services include: • Private room accommodations • Highly skilled, compassionate nursing care • Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy • Customized plan of care

LAURIE A. KEARLEY Born: July 30, 1962 Died: July 10, 2014 Laurie Ann Kearley, 51, of McHenry, passed away July 10, 2014, after a courageous battle with brain cancer.

She was born July 30, 1962, in Elgin, to Robert and Marlene (nee Wilke) Swift. Laurie had a strong Christian faith throughout her whole life. That faith was especially comforting these past few months.

Laurie graduated from Crystal Lake Central High School in 1980.

She then went on to graduate from Valparaiso University in 1984, with a degree in Medical Technology. For the past five years she was working at Micro Star Lab. On July 28, 1984, Laurie married James Kearley in Crystal Lake.

SKETCH VIEW

Maximum sentence for Depner In March 2013, Northwest Herald’s Editorial Board published an editorial in this space under the headline: Our view: Throw book at Depner.

We feel just as strongly today.

The Depner in question is Walter Depner, who served 12 years in prison for what McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather called at the time “without a doubt the most egregious case of reckless homicide in the history of McHenry County.”

In August 1999, Depner was driving drunk on Route 120 near Lakemoor when he crossed the center line in his minivan. Thomas Burleson was driving his family home from Six Flags Great America when he was struck by Depner’s vehicle.

Eva Burleson, 34, and her children, Daniel, 13, Tiffany, 11, and Dallis, 7, were killed in the crash.

Thomas Burleson also was seriously injured, but he survived.

Evidence showed that Depner had a bloodalcohol level of 0.107 more than three hours after the crash. An expert estimated his blood-alcohol rate was likely 0.17 at the time of the crash – more than twice the legal limit.

Was Depner remorseful after this tragic event?

No. After killing four innocent people, he urinated on police and hospital staff who tried to collect samples following the crash. He fought his conviction and punishment each step of the way for more than three years. Not once did he publicly show remorse or apologize.

Depner served about 12 of his 14-year prison sentence before being released in June 2011.

In February 2013, Depner was arrested again, this time for driving under the influence of the prescription drug Klonopin near the same area as the 1999 crash.

On Monday in a McHenry County courtroom, Depner pleaded guilty to aggravated driving under the influence. A sentencing hearing has been scheduled for Aug. 29. He faces a possible sentence of five to 10 years in prison.

“To be honest, I’d be happier if it’s 10 [years] instead of 5,” Thomas Burleson told the Northwest Herald after the plea hearing. “It doesn’t involve me, it doesn’t involve my family, but I learned a long time ago that we have a legal system not a justice system.”

Depner’s obviously learned nothing since the 1999 tragedy and remains a threat to society. We urge the court to sentence him to the maximum.

ANOTHER VIEW

Pension reform 2.0 The Illinois Supreme Court on Thursday said loudly, clearly and ominously that public employee pension benefits in the state cannot be cut.

That can mean only one thing: State and local lawmakers had better get working on a Plan B. Illinois needs alternatives to the state pension-reform law passed in December and to the Chicago pension-reform law passed in May. The options are limited – it may come down to a constitutional amendment – but the state’s best minds better get cracking.

It isn’t an exaggeration, even in the slightest, to say Illinois’ future depends on it.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Cause for celebration To the Editor: It was recently reported that following decades of growth, McHenry County has unexpectedly experienced a small decline in population. Though initially considered a temporary “blip,” a Northwest Herald editorial stated it is not a blip so much as a trend. That could be correct.

Grundy and Kendall counties are now experiencing rapid population growth. Take a long drive down Route 47 and see the massive residential and commercial construction occurring in Yorkville.

While some have reacted as if there were a problem, it really is a cause for celebration that the population growth has leveled off. The continual sprawl in our area can no longer be justified by a growing population.

Our emphasis should turn from unbridled growth toward conscious sustainability. Quality now counts more than quantity.

Do our communities have the kinds of amenities that many of us want? Perhaps some niches need to be filled with specialty shopping, dining or recreational opportunities. Vacant storefronts literally need filling.

Highway construction is obviously less of a priority. Existing roads can be widened as needed; the widening of Route 14 between Crystal Lake and Wood-

stock is long overdue. But there is no need for another expressway, Route 53, to be converted to a tollway and extended. And the costly anti-business, counterintuitive so-called “continuous flow” intersection revamp proposed for Randall and Algonquin Roads? Forget about it.

With enrollments decreasing, there should be no need for new school referenda. And all talk of expanding McHenry County College should be put to rest.

Life Skills education To the Editor: Cooking up a healthy eating game plan is vital to performance on the field. That concept, along with the art of cooking for a hobby, a career or survival, have been central themes in District 47’s Life Skills Class.

This encore class is offered at our three middle schools as a special course in addition to the students’ core subjects.

Our school district prepares all students for life with these survival skills in a 12-week course that offers the students kitchen safety skills, nutritional information tips, and a wide variety of recipes, including more than “cookies and eggs.”

Our curriculum includes pancakes, crepes, waffles, yeast

HOW TO SOUND OFF We welcome original letters on public issues.

Letters must include the author’s full name, home address and day and evening telephone numbers.

We limit letters to 250 words and one published letter every 30 days.

All letters are subject to editing

breads, quick-fix snacks, homemade pizza, cookies and eggs.

We also blend in the nutritional value of our preparations and stir in a unit on manners and table etiquette.

It is gratifying to know that connection between eating well and performance is making a difference in the lives of the youth in Districts 47 and 155. Need more in this area ... home economics teachers are a classroom away!

Buck stops with Obama To the Editor: This is in response to the letter, “No Shame,” (It’s Your Write, July 6.)

Let’s start with the last sentence asking someone to tell Sen. John McCain that he lost in 2008.

I believe President Barack Obama did that at a televised meeting he had with senators in his first term, effectively shutting up and

embarrassing McCain. Way to go, Mr. President, that’s a great start to bipartisan cooperation.

Now let’s jump to the first paragraph in which the writer accuses the GOP of opposing our president on every issue. Well, duh! Isn’t a two-party system supposed to work just that way if the president and his party insist on their way or no way (i.e. Obama Care, etc.)? What is expected?

As to the middle paragraph: Benghazi? IRS scandal? V.A. scandal? He dictatorially and unconstitutionally changes bills with his famous pen. Who else can we blame? Doesn’t the buck stop at the president’s desk?

One last comment: If the Senate (controlled by Democrats) refuses to consider and vote on any bills proposed by the House (controlled by GOP), do they then get to accuse the GOP of doing nothing? Appears so!

Sadly, no more love letters in the age of Twitter, Instagram WASHINGTON – Every so often, we get a poignant reminder of what has been lost now that letter writing has been replaced by texting, emoticons or nothing at all, if you’re a politician afraid to commit anything to paper for fear it will show up on page one or be read aloud by a committee chairman on a tear.

History is the poorer for it.

Nevermore will we have a Winston Churchill or Franklin D. Roosevelt, Teddy or Ike free to memorialize in real time what is going on in their heads and hearts. This makes the trove of love letters written by Warren Harding, to be unsealed at the Library of Congress and published online later this month, all the more appealing.

“I love you thus, and more,” Harding wrote, enumerating the countless ways in a note to his mistress on Christmas Eve 1910. It so overflowed with passion that he turned at the bottom of the page and wrote up the side: “I love you more than all the world, and have no hope of reward on earth or hereafter so precious as that in your dear arms, in your thrilling lips, in your

THE FIRST

VIEWS Margaret Carlson matchless breasts, in your incomparable embrace.”

The world took little note, nor long remembered Harding’s achievements. These days, his presidency, which lasted less than two years, is known to schoolchildren – if at all – only in connection with the Teapot Dome scandal.

But for a few weeks this summer, we will note that Harding was a prolific and impassioned man with the time and florid vocabulary to put his feelings into words. The library held about 1,000 pages of these missives for 50 years after the family bequeathed them in 1964. They were written between 1910 and 1920, mostly while Harding served – with little distinction – as a Republican senator from Ohio. His paramour, as the Library of Congress quaintly describes her, was Carrie Fulton Phillips. The story has some added spice because she was the wife of a

friend – adding a layer of betrayal – and a suspected German spy during World War I – adding a layer of treason.

Both Harding and Phillips, according to the presidential biographer James Robenalt, who got access to microfilmed copies of some letters while researching his book, were in loveless marriages. In 1913, Harding describes his to Phillips, relying on a time-worn crutch of the maritally unfaithful: “There isn’t one iota of affection in my home relationship. ... It is merely existence, necessary for appearance’s sake.”

The details of the affair are unlikely to lead to a reassessment of Harding’s character or his political career. He already had the distinction of being the subject of what is widely regarded as the first kissand-tell book for his alleged liaison with Nan Britton, who claimed that they had their own sort of congress in a coat closet in the White House and that the president fathered her illegitimate daughter.

Most letters written in the throes of love suffer from lack of restraint, high heat and purple prose. Hard-

ing’s billets do certainly meet the criteria of the genre. Still, though they don’t rise to the level of the greatest love letter in modern history, they are better than many. After a weekend in New York, he wrote that his “breath quickens to recall” it. “You resurrected me and set me aflame with the fullness of your beauty and the fire of your desire ... imprisoned me in your embrace and gave me transport.”

But even before oversight committees, Harding showed he was aware that trust doesn’t mix with politics. As early as 1913, he told Phillips to get rid of the letters.

“Have a fire, chuck ‘em!” he writes.

“They are too inflammable to keep.”

She didn’t listen. A lawyer found them stashed in a closet in her house shortly before she died in 1960, and the family in turn donated them to the library a few years later.

John Dean, former White House counsel to Richard Nixon, claimed in a 2005 book that had Harding lived longer – he died of a heart attack in 1923, during the middle of his first term – we would appreci-

ate him more: He slashed federal spending, sharply cut income taxes, and ended the stagflation ignited by President Woodrow Wilson’s policies. Unemployment was reduced to 3 percent from 12 percent. Many presidents would take that record.

Even if historians were to reevaluate Harding, one mistake, especially of the adulterous sort, can overshadow everything else, as we will learn again when Bill Clinton’s obituary recalls, very high up, his affair with Monica Lewinsky.

No modern U.S. politician is likely to be as unguarded as Harding was in those letters. And that’s a shame. These relics of a bygone era give another dimension to the man, an opportunity lost to more recent leaders who could use another dimension or two.

Prick anyone, these letters tell us, and you’ll find a beating heart.

Sadly, in the age of Twitter, Instagram and congressional investigations, we won’t be reading about it 50 years hence.

State treasurer interns had political connections

CHICAGO – A published report said Illinois Treasurer Dan Rutherford’s office offered paid internships to several young people with political connections. The Chicago Sun-Times reported Rutherford’s office kept a list of applicants and the name of the person who referred them.

NWHerald.com

The law entitles dyslexic students to special education services. It also creates a reading instruction advisory group that will train educators on how to identify and teach students with dyslexia.

Gov. Pat Quinn signed the measure Saturday. The law is effective immediately. The Illinois House and Senate unanimously supported the measure.

In a statement, Quinn says the law will help Illinois students get the assistance they need to succeed. The Chicago Democrat says: “Many people throughout history have achieved greatness in spite of the challenges they faced with dyslexia.”

Among those who referred interns were House Speaker Michael Madigan and U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush. Rutherford himself recommended a 16-year-old member of the wealthy Pritzker family. That person was hired one year after a relative donated $50,000 to Rutherford’s campaign fund.

Rutherford’s office said clout played no role in who got internships.

U.S. brokers deal between Afghan rivals

BRIEFS Last original Ramones member dies NEW YORK – The Ramones always seemed too fast. Their songs rushed by, often two minutes or less of pure adrenaline.

Their influence outstripped their sales. And now, with the death of drummer Tommy, all four original members of the seminal punk rock band are gone.

Tommy Ramone, born Erdelyi Tamas in Budapest, Hungary, died Friday at age Tommy 65, said Dave Ramone Frey, who works for Ramones Productions and Silent Partner Management.

Frey had no further details.

Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee and Tommy Ramone, taking their surname from an alias Paul McCartney used to check into hotels, formed in Queens, New York in 1974. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members were among the leaders of the original punk rock movement with songs like “I Wanna Be Sedated,” “Blitzkrieg Bop” and “Rockaway Beach.”

Wearing ripped jeans, black leather and bad haircuts, the Ramones stripped rock down to its essentials: two guitars, drums, a singer and no solos. Their 1976 debut album had 14 songs in less than 30 minutes, with “Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue” and “Beat on the Brat” reflecting their twisted teen years.

By BRADLEY KLAPPER The Associated Press KABUL, Afghanistan – Afghanistan’s two rival candidates reached a breakthrough agreement Saturday to a complete audit of their contested presidential election and, whoever the victor, a national unity government.

The deal, brokered by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, offers a path out of what threatened to be a debilitating political crisis for Afghanistan, with both candidates claiming victory and talking of setting up competing governments.

Such a scenario could have dangerously split the fragile country’s government and security forces at a time the U.S. is pulling out most of its troops and the Taliban continues to wage a fierce insurgency.

Instead, former Finance Minister Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai and former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah agreed to abide by an 100 percent, internationally supervised audit of all 8 million ballots in the presidential election. They vowed to form a national unity government once the results are announced, presumably one that includes members of each side.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry (center), with Afghan presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah (left) and Afghanistan’s presidential candidate Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai (right), speaks during a joint press conference Saturday in Kabul, Afghanistan. Kerry says both of Afghanistan’s presidential candidates are committed to abiding by the results of the “largest, most comprehensive audit” of the election runoff ballots possible. the night Friday and Saturday, warned that much work still remained.

“This will be still a difficult road because there are important obligations required and difficult decisions to be made,” Kerry told reporters after briefing Afghanistan’s current president, Hamid Karzai, shortly after midnight.

The audit, which comes

after widespread fraud allegations, is expected to take several weeks, beginning with the ballot boxes in the capital of Kabul.

Boxes from the provinces will be flown to the capital by helicopter by U.S. and international forces and examined on a rolling basis. Representatives from each campaign as well as international observ-

ers will oversee the review, and the candidate with the most votes will be declared the winner and become president.

Both candidates agreed to respect the result, and the winner would immediately form a national unity government. The inauguration, which had been scheduled for Aug. 2, would be postponed, with Karzai staying on a little

longer as president.

Abdullah said the election created “serious challenges.” But he praised Ghani for working toward the accord on the audit and the unity government.

Ghani returned the compliments, lauding his competitor’s patriotism and commitment to a dialogue that promotes national unity.

“Stability is the desire of everyone,” Ghani said. “Our aim is simple: We’ve committed to the most thorough audit” in history. Such a process would remove any ambiguity about the result, he added.

Abdullah and Ghani spoke first in English, then in Dari.

Ghani also spoke in Pashto.

When they were done, they shook hands and hugged. Kerry later joined them as they raised their arms in triumph hand-in-hand.

The announcement came as a relief to a country on edge about how the election dispute would resolve itself. Both the full audit and the agreement to form a unity government drew praise from television commentators immediately after the speeches.

The prolonged uncertainty about the outcome of the election had jeopardized a central plank of President Barack Obama’s strategy to leave behind a stable state after the withdrawal of most U.S. troops at year’s end.

Morgan released from rehab month after crash TRENTON, N.J. – Actor-comedian Tracy Morgan was released from a rehabilitation facility as he recovers from a serious auto accident. Spokesman Lewis Kay said Saturday that the former “Saturday Night Live” and “30 Rock” star will continue his recovery efforts at home with an “aggressive outpatient program.”

Morgan suffered a broken leg and broken ribs when the limousine van he was riding in was hit from behind June 7 by a Wal-Mart truck on the New Jersey Turnpike. The wreck killed 62-year-old comedian James McNair, who went by the name Jimmy Mack. Comedian Ardley Fuqua and another passenger, Jeffrey Millea, were injured.

On Thursday, lawyers for Morgan filed a lawsuit against Wal-Mart in U.S. District Court in New Jersey, claiming the retailer was negligent.

Owners: Expect Trump Plaza closure soon ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – The owners of the Trump Plaza casino in Atlantic City said they expect to shut it down in mid-September.

Trump Entertainment Resorts told The Associated Press on Saturday that no final decision has been made yet on the boardwalk casino. But the company says it expects the casino to close its doors Sept. 16.

Notices warning employees of the expected closing will go out to the casino’s 1,000-plus employees Monday.

If Trump Plaza closes, Atlantic City could lose a third of its casinos and a quarter of its casino workforce in less than nine months.

What the military did while Benghazi post burned The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – One by one, behind closed doors, military officers explained what they did and didn’t do the night the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, burned.

Together their 30 hours of testimony to congressional investigators gives the fullest account yet of the military’s response to the surprise attacks that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans the night of Sept. 11, 2012, and early the next morning.

Transcripts of the interviews, with some names and classified information blacked out, were released Wednesday.

The nine officers, including retired Gen. Carter Ham, then the head of the military’s U.S. Africa Command, described making on-the-fly decisions with only sparse information about the crisis unfolding at a diplomatic post and the nearby CIA compound.

None of them was in Benghazi. They did not witness what went on in the White House or at the State Department. Ex-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and others have testified about Benghazi. But the nine officers shed light

on the nature of the attacks; speculation that the military was ordered to “stand down” from helping Americans; suggestions that the U.S. should have rushed jets or a special operations team to Benghazi; and early misperceptions that the attack began as a protest over an anti-Islam video.

DID MILITARY LEADERS INITIALLY BELIEVE THE TROUBLE RESULTED FROM A STREET PROTEST? Some heard that, some didn’t; nothing was clear about events on the ground at first.

One of the earliest reports came from Ambassador Chris Stevens, who told his deputy in a phone call cut short: “We’re under attack.”

“We started calling it an attack from inception,” said Army Lt. Col. S.E. Gibson, who was at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli. “We never referred to it as anything else.”

Retired Vice Adm. Charles “Joe” Leidig Jr., deputy commander of AFRICOM, said he was awoken in the night at his headquarters in Germany with word that “there had been protesters, and they had overrun the facility in Benghazi.”

But Ham, who was alerted while visiting the Pentagon, said he heard no mention of protesters.

So he’s sure he didn’t pass on anything like that when he informed Panetta and Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, of the attack. Dempsey and Panetta personally took word to President Barack Obama at the White House.

Speaking for the Obama administration, then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice appeared on Sunday talk shows five days later and suggested the attacks were born from regional protests against an anti-Islamic video. The administration later recanted that position but never thoroughly articulated what they believe happened. Republicans say Obama soft-pedaled a terrorist attack to protect his re-election.

Over the two days when the attacks were occurring, there was “very, very little discussion that I can recall about why did this happen,” Ham said.

“There just wasn’t time for that, frankly.”

WAS A FOUR-MAN TEAM HEADED FOR BENGHAZI ORDERED TO STAND DOWN? Technically, no, the team was not ordered, as some have asserted, to stand by as militants attacked Americans 600 miles away. But they were told not to go to Benghazi and

instead to stay and protect personnel in Tripoli. In hindsight, the attacks were over by then, anyway.

The special operations officer leading that team and the commander who gave him the order both told investigators that it was the right decision.

The team, led by Gibson, was in Tripoli to help train Libyan special forces. When the Benghazi attack began, Gibson’s first duty was to protect the embassy in Tripoli amid fears that it also would be targeted. He helped evacuate the staff to a classified, more-secure location. Once he felt they were safe on the morning of Sept. 12, Gibson was ready to rush to Benghazi to help.

One Libyan plane carrying a six-man U.S. security team already had taken off. Gibson wanted his group on the second chartered flight. He called the special operations command center for Africa to say they were heading to the airport.

He was told, “Don’t go.

Don’t get on that plane.”

“Initially, I was angry,” he said. “Because a tactical commander doesn’t like to have those decisions taken away from him. But then once I digested it a little bit, then I realized, OK, maybe there was

something going on. Maybe I’m needed here for something else.”

Rear Adm. Brian Losey, who gave the order, said he needed Gibson’s team in Tripoli in case trouble started there.

Although some Republican lawmakers have suggested the team might have helped repel attackers in Benghazi, their flight would have arrived after the final assault that killed two CIA contractors.

Losey dismissed the notion that the foursome could have been much help in Benghazi, where Americans already were moving to the airfield for evacuation with the aid of Libyan forces and the U.S. security team from the first plane.

Losey noted that Gibson’s group consisted of a communications specialist, a medic and a weapons operator with his foot in a cast.

“That’s not a security team,” Losey said. Sending them in “didn’t make a lot of sense.”

Gibson said if his group had flown to Benghazi, their flight would have crossed paths with the first plane as it returned bearing wounded Americans.

Because they stayed, his medic was there to meet two seriously injured people at the Tripoli airport. The medic is credited

The country has 59 immigration courts overseen by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Some are inside detention centers, while others deal with immigrants who are not detained.

The states with the biggest immigration caseloads are California, New York and Texas.

OVERFLOWING CASELOAD

DEPORTATION VERSUS RELIEF

The number of immigrants with cases before the immigration courts has jumped 7 percent since October to more than 375,000, the agency’s highest caseload to date. The number of cases before the immigration courts rose by 23,000 during the previous fiscal year.

Immigration judges decided more than 140,000 initial cases during the 2013 fiscal year, which doesn’t include cases reopened or returned on appeal. More than two-thirds of the immigrants were ordered deported, while about 17 percent qualified for relief.

Four years earlier, about 82 percent of the initial cases decided by the courts ended in deportation, according to agency statistics.

The average time a pending case has been before the immigration courts is now 587 days, which is about 19 months, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. Immigration lawyers say getting a hearing can take much longer than that. For example, in Los Angeles, the average time a case has been before the immigration court is more than two years, data show.

DID CLINTON GIVE A “STAND DOWN” ORDER, AS SOME REPUBLICANS HAVE THEORIZED? “No,” said Losey.

“I never received any orders from the secretary of state or heard of any orders from the secretary of state,” said Leidig, also based in Stuttgart, Germany.

“No,” said Ham, who commanded the Africa operations.

“And we would not receive direct communications from the secretary of state.”

COURT LOCATIONS

An overlooked element in the immigration debate is the nation’s Immigration Court system, where many of the newly arrived migrants will have their cases resolved. Here are key facts about the court system and its struggles:

WAIT TIMES

Not according to Losey and Gibson.

Civilians might say that Losey ordered Gibson to stand down from his race to the scene. But Losey and Gibson say in their military parlance, standing down means ceasing operations.

“It was not a stand-down order,” Gibson said. “It was not, ‘Hey, time for everybody to go to bed.’ It was, you know, ‘Don’t go. Don’t get on that plane. Remain in place.’ ” “It was never an order to stand down,” Losey said. “It was an order to remain in place and continue to provide your security role in Tripoli.”

Detainees sleep in a holding cell June 18 at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection processing facility in Brownsville, Texas. Immigration courts backlogged by years of staffing shortages and tougher enforcement face a more daunting challenge since tens of thousands of Central Americans began arriving on the U.S. border fleeing violence back home.

Aronia berry gaining market foothold in U.S. MISSOURI VALLEY, Iowa – A new fruit that research says packs more antioxidants than popular “superfoods” like blueberries, acai berries and goji berries is establishing itself in the aisles of mainstream grocery stores, showing up in everything from juices to powdered supplements to baby food.

Its rise from being a novelty item at farmers markets into a multimillion-dollar U.S. industry even includes a name change, from the common chokeberry – so named centuries ago by European settlers who found the tart, astringent berry more pretty than palatable – to the aronia berry, derived from its genus, Aronia melanocarpa.

The native North American berry was introduced in

Russia and eastern Europe in the early 20th century and has been cultivated there for juices and wines. Now, farmers throughout the upper Midwest are planting the shrubs by the thousands every year. But the industry’s roots in the U.S. can be traced to Sawmill Hollow Family Farm in the Loess Hills of western Iowa, where most in the industry believe the first bushes were planted for commercial cultivation in the U.S. Andrew Pittz, 28, is the driving force behind the aronia berry’s emergence. His family was looking for a crop they could cultivate on the hilly, silt-heavy soil near the Missouri River, and in 1997, Pittz’s parents planted some 200 bushes. The bush grows well in the Midwest, has few pests and doesn’t have to be replanted every year.

The Pittz family was successful: Sawmill Hollow products now are sold in about half of Hy-Vee’s 237 stores, and in all of Whole Foods’ 45 Midwest-region stores, according to spokeswomen for the chains. Rather than keep the berry and its economic potential under wraps, Pittz and his family have been spreading word far and wide – especially throughout Iowa.

The farm holds an annual field day that draws thousands in September, and Pittz planted bushes in all 99 Iowa counties last year. Even Iowa State University is helping promote the berry as a value-added crop and a good way to diversify farm income, offering grants to help people get started.

“We want the aronia berry to be to Iowa’s Heartland what the peach is to Georgia.” Pittz said.

Israeli troops raid rocket launching site in Gaza Strip The ASSOCIATED PRESS GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Ignoring international appeals for a cease-fire, Israel widened its range of Gaza bombing targets to civilian institutions with suspected Hamas ties and deployed ground troops inside Gaza for the first time early Sunday to raid a rocket launching site in the Palestinian territory. More than 156 Palestinians have been killed in five days of bombardment.

Four Israeli soldiers were hurt in clashes during the brief incursion to destroy a rocket launching site in northern Gaza, the military said. It said they have returned to Israeli territory.

It was the first time that Israeli ground troops are known to have entered Gaza in the current offensive. But the operation was carried out by special forces and did not appear to be the beginning of a broad ground offensive.

On Saturday, Israel announced it would hit northern Gaza “with great force” to prevent rocket attacks from there on Israel.

One of the Israeli strikes hit a center for the disabled where Palestinians said two patients were killed and four people seriously hurt. In a second attack Saturday evening, an Israeli warplane flattened the home of Gaza’s police chief and damaged a nearby mosque as evening prayers ended, killing at least 18 people, officials said.

In New York, the U.N. Security Council called unanimously for a cease-fire, while Britain’s foreign minister said he would discuss ceasefire efforts with his American, French and German counterparts Sunday.

So far, neither Israel nor

Gaza’s Hamas rulers have signaled a willingness to stop.

Israel has carried out more than 1,200 air strikes this week to try to diminish Hamas’ ability to fire rockets at Israel, and the chief military spokesman, Brig. Gen. Motti Almoz, said Saturday there would be more strikes, especially in northern Gaza near the Israeli border.

“We are going to attack there with great force in the next 24 hours due to a very large concentration of Hamas efforts in that area,” he said.

Late on Saturday, the military said it was ordering Palestinians in northern Gaza to evacuate “for their own safety.”

Gaza’s Interior Ministry urged residents in the area to ignore Israel’s warnings and to stay in their homes, saying the announcement was Israeli “psychological warfare” and an attempt to create confusion.

Shortly after the Israeli announcement, an Israeli warplane struck the home of the Gaza police chief, Taysir alBatsh, killing at least 18 people and wounding 50, said Health Ministry official Ashraf alKidra. He said worshippers were leaving the mosque after evening prayers at the time of the strike and that some people are believed to be trapped under the rubble.

Meanwhile, Hamas, the Islamic militant group that controls Gaza, has fired nearly 700 rockets and mortars at Israel this week and said it wouldn’t be the first to cease fire.

In a sign that the conflict might widen, Israel fired into Lebanon late Saturday in response to two rockets fired from there at northern Israel. There were no injuries or damage, but Israel fears militant groups in Lebanon may try to open a second front.

Anxiety grips Lebanon after blasts, arrests BEIRUT – The roadblocks and sandbags are back, cafes and hotels are nearly empty and many of the tourists are gone. Anxiety is gripping Lebanon following a spate of suicide bombings, and an ongoing security sweep targeting militants – some of them who had been staying in four-star Beirut hotels – has triggered a wave of cancellations of hotel and flight bookings in a country already on edge.

The militants involved are said by security officials to be part of a network of alleged terrorist sleeper cells planning suicide bombings targeting security leaders and civilians alike. That has fueled concerns that Sunni extremists surging in Iraq and Syria were taking their fight to Lebanon next.

Along Beirut’s Mediterranean corniche, crowds are thinner. Not far away is the seaside Duroy hotel – one side of it still slightly blackened after a suicide bomber blew himself up during a police raid on his room on June 25. At the high-end Beirut Souks shopping complex in the downtown business district, the passages between shops are nearly empty of shoppers.

“In the month or two before the incident at the Duroy, we were seeing a lot of Saudi, Iraqi tourists,” said a 36-yearold bookstore manager in downtown Beirut. “We really thought that the start of this summer was better than the last one.”

“Then the bombings and arrests happened, and we didn’t see them anymore,” she added,

asking to remain anonymous because she was not authorized by her employer to speak to journalists.

Lebanon, a tiny country with a history of civil strife, has been profoundly affected by the civil war raging in neighboring Syria over the past three years. In addition to the influx of well over 1 million Syrian refugees to the country, the conflict has inflamed tensions among Lebanon’s long-feuding sects, causing violence, including street clashes and bombings.

The country is sharply split between those who back the overwhelmingly Sunni rebels fighting to topple Syrian President Bashar Assad, and those who support him, including the Shiite militant group Hezbollah, which has sent its fighters to shore up Assad’s forces against the rebels.

The recent cancellations cap a downward trend in the number of tourists to Lebanon since the conflict in Syria began. Tourism Minister Michel Pharaon said the number of tourists in 2013 dropped by 1 million compared to the 2.3 million tourists who visited Lebanon in 2010. The number of visitors for the first five months of 2014 was down 9 percent from the same period last year, though the ministry had no figures for June and July.

After enjoying relative calm for nearly three months, a new wave of violence erupted in the middle of last month, coinciding with dramatic events in nearby Iraq, where militants of the al-Qaida splinter group called the Islamic State have taken over large parts of the country.

Migrant boy buried in Guatemala hometown

By SONIA PEREZ D. The Associated Press SAN JOSE LAS FLORES, Guatemala – A 15-year-old Guatemalan migrant was buried in his hometown Saturday, nearly a month after he became a symbol of the perils facing unaccompanied children who have been flooding illegally into the U.S. Residents of Gilberto Francisco Ramos Juarez’s mountain hometown of San Jose de las Flores filled the house where he grew up to pay respects to the boy lying in a gray and silver coffin beside an altar filled with highland flowers and candles.

A monja blanca orchid, the national flower of Guatemala, was placed on the front door in a sign of mourning. Women prayed inside the house while men waited outside to carry Ramos Juarez’s body to the mountaintop cemetery overlooking his village.

“Here, only sadness will remain,” said the boy’s father, Francisco Ramos.

The discovery of the boy’s decomposed body in the Rio

Grande Valley on June 15 highlighted the hardships that afflict young migrants as the U.S. government searches for ways to deal with record numbers of children from Central America who are sneaking into the country.

Gilberto was found with a rosary that his mother gave him still around his neck and a brother’s Chicago phone number scribbled on the inside of his belt buckle.

The body was less than a mile from the nearest U.S. home. He apparently got lost on his way north and likely died from exposure. An autopsy did not find signs of trauma.

His father said that the family had borrowed the $2,500 the boy needed to make the trip north and that they still owe the money.

The boy’s uncle, Catarino Ramos, said workers make about $3.50 for a day’s work where they live in the mountains of northern Guatemala.

“He left because of poverty, because he wanted to help buy his mother’s medicine,” Catarino Ramos said.

ANALYSIS

Bulls continue to fail to make splash Missing out on elite free agents a stain on organization We have two losers today – one a group, the other a person.

The first is the Bulls, who over the years have proven themselves incapable of attracting the best free agents.

It happened again Saturday, when Carmelo Anthony informed them he was re-signing with the Knicks.

Bulls chairman Jerry Reinsdorf needs to take a hard look at why his team is the Washington Generals of free agency.

The other loser is Antho-

VIEWS Rick Morrissey ny, who doesn’t want to win.

If he did, he would be a Bull today.

Instead, he chose the huge money the Knicks were offering. Can’t blame anyone for taking a better deal. But when you say that winning a championship is your heart’s desire, as Melo did, and then opt for the team that has no

chance of winning any time soon, you reveal your true colors: green for money, yellow for not wanting to strive to be the best.

If you look at it in a vacuum, it’s easy to see this as an example of another cash-hungry superstar looking out for himself. But the Bulls’ history of missing on the NBA’s elite free agents is beyond a trend. It’s a stain.

To borrow from baseball, when you swing for the fences time and again, you should hit something once in

awhile. The Bulls swing and hit Carlos Boozer.

We have so many consolation prizes built up from past Bulls offseasons that we should have a charity raffle.

Today’s is 34-year-old Pau Gasol, who the Bulls believe will add some post scoring.

Hurray.

When Boozer and Ben Wallace are the best you’ve been able to do in terms of free-agent signings, then something is wrong.

Tom Sweetwood tees off on the 14th hole Saturday during the second day of the McHenry County Amateur golf tournament at Crystal Woods Golf Course in Woodstock.

Sweetwood wins 4th trophy in 16 years

By ALEX KANTECKI akantecki@nwherald.com WOODSTOCK – After shooting a 4-over-par 76 during the the first round of the McHenry County Men’s Amateur Golf Tournament, Tom Sweetwood of Johnsburg fired a 71 to force a one-hole playoff at Crystal Woods Golf Club on Saturday.

Sweetwood defeated Crystal Lake’s Griffin Bauman, who shot a tournament-best 70 in the second round, in a sudden-death playoff after Bauman’s approach from the tee went out of bounds on the course’s par-5 No. 2.

Sweetwood reached the green in two shots and made par on the hole to win his fourth amateur trophy in 16 years. He also won the title in 1999, 2000 and 2005.

Both Sweetwood and Bauman recorded two-day totals of 147.

“I started out a little shaky today,” Sweetwood said. “I was two over for the first four holes and then started to hit the ball a little more solid. I birdied 7 and 8 to get back to even.

From there, I hit the ball pretty good.

I was hitting my wedge shots a lot better than yesterday, which made a big difference.”

Sweetwood defeated Bauman with about a dozen spectators watching,

McHENRY – Overcast skies did not keep a record number of participants away Satursday morning from McHenry’s annual River Run. The total reached 482 runners combined for both a 5K walk/run and a 10K run, starting and finishing from McHenry High School’s East Campus. There were a number of reasons why people chose to run in this year’s event, but one group had a good cause in mind.

Members of The Chapel church in McHenry all wore orange shirts reading “Oasis for Orphans.” The group is a nonprofit organization that raises money and awareness for orphans in Kenya.

The Chapel had a couple head over to Kenya to start and oversee their latest project: building a new orphanage.

“It’s a really great cause that I’m happy to be a part of,” team leader Denise Van Peursem said. “People all over are running races to spread the awareness and that’s what we were trying to do here today.”

The group had between 16 and 18 people running in the 5K and 10K races. Van Peursem was unsure of the exact number, because of what she believes as a success of spreading the awareness.

“I couldn’t give an exact amount because we saw people today with shirts on, that weren’t part of our group,” she explained. “We love that a great cause can be spread and we are well on our way.”

Griffin Bauman watches his ball after teeing off from the 14th hole Saturday. including his two daughters.

“I don’t get to play much competitive golf anymore,” Sweetwood said. “Being a father with two kids and having a full-time job, it’s hard to find time for golf. But I enjoy playing in this event every year. I enjoy the people. I enjoy the competition.”

After going even on the front nine, Sweetwood came back with a 35 on the back nine, including birdies on 10, 13 and 14. Bauman carded a 34 on

THE DAILY

the back nine to put him in position to play for the title, but couldn’t solve the second hole.

“That hole has always given me problems in the past,” said Bauman, who won the tournament in 2009. “It just doesn’t set up well for me. I kind of pushed the drive and the wind was going from left to right, too, and it just ballooned out of bounds.”

T

he injuries keep coming. This week, it’s Yankees ace Masahiro Tanaka who will miss time with an elbow injury, adding him to a list of top MLB pitchers such as Jose Fernandez and Matt Harvey who are out with elbow injuries. Sports editor Jon Styf and reporter Mike DeFabo discuss:

Styf: It’s to the point where you can’t trust pitching talent at all. I think the Cubs are right, load up on hitting talent and then sign pitchers with talent who didn’t pan out quickly. Scott Feldman, Jason Hammel and Jake Arrieta come to mind. Dan Straily is similar. The hitters, guys like Kris Bryant and Kyle Schwarber, are just safer bets.

DeFabo: I agree that it’s safer to go with a hitter.

But at the same time, almost all of the batting statistics are down. Now more than ever in recent years, it’s become a pitcher-dominated game. If you truly want to compete, you have to stock up on quality young arms and just expect that you will lose a couple each year.

Styf: You mean guys like Pirates’ Jameson Taillon and Gerrit Cole? I hear you and couldn’t agree more that teams need pitching, I just think that the Cubs are smart to recognize what they have and that maybe having a top-tier pitching prospect isn’t worth as much as scouts think it is. There is just so much margin for error and risk of injury with young arms that maybe investing in a veteran not named Edwin Jackson who doesn’t require an Edwin Jackson contract might be a better option for rotation spots 3 through 5.

DeFabo: Don’t forget that veteran pitchers aren’t immune to injury, either. Tanaka is the perfect example. He’s pitched professionally in Japan since 2007, and now he’s going on the DL. In some ways it’s an even bigger loss than some young pitcher, since he’s making $155 million over seven years.

Styf: That was a nod to SI.com’s report where Max Scherzer said agent Scott Boras looked into it and found that the incidence of elbow injuries are higher for young pitchers than those with four to nine years of MLB service. He was saying he was taking less of a risk than a younger pitcher while turning down the Tigers’ massive contract extension offer. He also bought insurance against injury in case it does happen. I’m guessing the rates for those will skyrocket after this season.

DeFabo: I think that says a lot about the way young pitchers are handled these days. In the big leagues, when you get to 100 pitches, you’re pulled.

But I’ve seen 16 and 17-year-old kids throw as many as 140 pitches, take a day off and then throw 75 or 100 more. That’s insane. An MLB manager would be run out of town if he did that.

Styf: No doubt. And kids play on multiple teams and those coaches don’t always communicate who is throwing how often and when. Or they’re pitching one game and playing shortstop the next and throwing the ball a ton there. But, as Yahoo! Sports’ Jeff Passan pointed out Thursday, there are still too many questions and not enough answers. Teams invest a ton in pitching but don’t invest a ton in finding out why pitchers are getting hurt at skyrocketing rates.

DeFabo: The whole concussion issue has some parents reconsidering the cost of playing football.

Now with the rash or arm injuries, they need to start thinking about if it’s worth it to have little Jimmy pitch. Derek Jeter said in his biography that he threw 90 mph in high school, but his dad didn’t let him step on a mound. When I have kids, I’m not going to let them pitch. Then again, I’m also not letting them play for the Yankees.

Styf: Maybe we all should just play soccer, like a Naperville Sun column suggested this week. That would solve everything, right?

DeFabo: Or badminton. I hear the injury rate is pretty low with that one.

C.J. Fiedorowicz believes he made a good first impression. The Johnsburg native, who was taken in the third round of the NFL draft in May by the Houston Texans, debuted with the team at its minicamp last month. Fiedorowicz, a 6-foot-6, 262-pound tight end who played in college at Iowa, hopes that can continue to make an impression. In Houston, he’ll be under the tutelage of first-year coach Bill O’Brien, who has often leaned on his tight ends in the past during stints as the offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots and at Penn State.

Along with the Texans’ other rookies, including No. 1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney, Fiedorowicz is scheduled to report to training camp July 21 in Houston. He was back in McHenry on Saturday for an autograph signing at National Pastime Sports Cards Memorabilia and More.

Described by CBS Sports as a draft pick who is a “good schematic fit,” he hopes to make an immediate impact as a rookie.

Mini-camp was really good. It was a lot of learning. I really didn’t know what to expect going in there, meeting Coach O’Brien, the offensive coordinator. But I learned the offense pretty quickly, and I made a lot of big plays in the passing game to prove that I can be a pass catcher. It’s hard to tell where we’re going to be at in just helmets. But for the most part, I think we looked pretty good.

I know [O’Brien] was at New England before. I also watched him at Penn State and what he did there, where he used three tight ends or two tight ends. He’d have a balanced attack with the run and the pass. I have a lot of respect for him, for bringing Penn State back from all that stuff that they were going through. To do something like that, to care as much as he did, it just goes to show the leader he is.

Right now, it’s just keeping busy. Working out three, four, five days a week. Trying to condition a little bit, so I don’t have to worry about being completely out of shape with dead legs the first couple day of camp. Just not over doing it to the point where I’m not going to be worn out, but just staying in shape. Doing what I’ve done my whole life, really. Maintaining good condition.

[Iowa] Coach [Kirk] Ferentz always preached team, team, team. No one was an individual. He made us all buy into working hard every day, listening to coach. Just being a guy who’s disciplined and trustworthy. Showing up to work every day.

A lot of guys in the NFL have families. You can’t go out partying every weekend after a game.

The biggest thing [I’ve learned from the veterans] is taking care of your body. Whether it’s weekends after a game, instead of going home, it’s jumping into the ice tub and getting a little extra stretch or treatment to get prepared for the next week. Because, now, it’s your job. You have to take it that much more seriously.

I think I can be both [a pass catcher and a run blocker]. That’s what I did at Iowa. That’s what I’m comfortable with. That’s why they drafted me for. I think Coach O’Brien plans utilize me at both, depending on how I do at camp as a pass catcher.

I was able to buy my first truck – a Dodger Ram. A big 2,500 jacked up. I’ve never owned a car.

I passed it. It was in the lot, I was like ‘I got to have that truck.’ Next day, I went and bought it.

Big ol’ diesel. It’s pretty sweet.

Carter averaged 11.9 points in 81 games, all off the bench, last season for Dallas. He has averaged 20.2 points over his 16-year career. He averaged at least 20 points for 10 straight seasons from 1999 to 2009.

Meanwhile, Vincent Nibali extended his lead over his biggest rivals except an important one: Two-time champion Alberto Contador, who sped ahead thinking he might win the stage and trying to test the response of the Italian in the yellow jersey.

Contador dueled with Nibali to capture second place at the uphill finish of a rainy 100-mile eighth stage from Tomblaine to Gerardmer La Mauselaine ski resort.

Contador reduced his 2½ minute deficit by only a few seconds, but the threat was loud and clear.

Healthy Vickers eyes New Hampshire win LOUDON, N.H. – Brian Vickers can already claim a victory this season without taking a checkered flag.

Vickers has started all 18 Sprint Cup races, the kind of run that’s a given for stars like Jimmie Johnson or Jeff Gordon.

For Vickers, the number holds a special significance. It means the blood clots that have cost him major chunks of his career since 2010 have yet to return.

He missed 25 races in 2010 when clots were discovered in his legs and, while he was out, he had heart surgery to prevent future clots from moving through his body to his brain.

A blood clot in his right calf found in October sidelined Vickers for the final five races of 2013 because he was taking blood thinners. If he crashed, the thinners would make it impossible for doctors to stop internal bleeding.

Recovered and ready to race, Vickers knows the clots could always return.

“I wouldn’t say that I linger on it or I let it kind of affect my daily life,” he said. “You just kind of have to move on. I certainly am conscious of it and I make decisions based upon the fact that I could have another clot.”

Vickers is always on the move, stretching often or he takes walks on long flights.

McHENRY COUNTY TENNIS CLASSIC

Prairie Ridge battles it out in quarterfinals

By RYAN ALTMAN raltman@shawmedia.com After winning the Fox Valley Conference tournament this past spring, Prairie Ridge’s Jared Priesz and Garrett Locher were not surprised to see a few of their fellow teammates excel at the McHenry County Classic.

Priesz, 17, and Locher, 16, were two of five Wolves varsity members that reached Saturday’s quarterfinal round of the Boys’ 18 singles bracket at The Racket Club in

Algonquin.

Also appearing in the quarterfinals from Prairie Ridge were Hayden Dzurisin, Aaditya Rawal and Gil Anozie. All five will be returning to compete for the Wolves next season.

“It’s good to see because it shows our team has been improving, even in the offseason,” Locher said.

Two of the three matches played pitted one Prairie Ridge teammate versus another. Anozie squared off against Rawal, while Priesz

faced Locher, the No. 2 seed.

Although it can be fun to play against a teammate, the competitive nature of the game trumps all friendship once a player steps onto the Garrett Locher court.

“It’s not that hard [playing against teammates],” Priesz said.

“Once you get in the zone, it doesn’t really matter that you know them personally.

They’re still an opponent.”

Locher echoed Priesz’s sentiments.

“I can think a lot about it before the match, but once I get out [on the court], I don’t care anymore and just play my best,” Locher added. “You still want to go as far as you can because it’s a personal, not a team tournament.”

After Locher won a tight first set, 7-5, Priesz battled back from a 5-2 deficit in the second set and forced a tiebreak, which he eventually won, 7-6 (5). Instead of play-

ing a traditional third set, the two played a 10-point tiebreak to determine a winner. Locher prevailed, 10-7, advancing to the semifinals against Crystal Lake South’s Nick Thome, who won his quarterfinal match by default.

Rawal, this spring’s Fox Valley Conference champion at No. 3 singles, was upset by Anozie, 6-2, 6-1, who was able to match Rawal’s slower pace step-by step.

Even though Anozie wasn’t a part of the Wolves’

starting lineup last season, Priesz wasn’t surprised about the outcome.

“Gil was an exhibition player and he’s playing in the semifinals,” Priesz said. “[Our depth] shows that they can hang in there with the best of them.”

Anozie will play Dzurisin, the No. 1 seed, who defeated Christopher Winkler of Lake Barrington in the first quarterfinals match, 6-0, 6-0.

Both semifinal matches will be played at 9:30 a.m.

Sunday at The Racket Club.

Why won’t stars play for Bulls?

Dan Pondel chips his ball onto the green of the 13th hole during the second day of the McHenry County Amateur on Saturday at Crystal Woods Golf Course in Woodstock.

Yoder claims A Flight title • GOLF Continued from page C1 Greg Bauman (148), who won the tournament in 2006, fired a 73 and was one shot off the pace, finishing third. Alan Pondel and Dan Pondel each finished with 150s in fourth place, and Riley Bauman and Brent Filetti carded 152s in sixth.

Hampshire’s Jeremy Yoder shot a 79 in the final round to finish with a two-day total of 156 and claim the A Flight championship. Greg Pondel (159) was runner-up, Ron Jania (163) took third and Ruben

Escamilla (164) was fourth.

“I just wanted to play the best I could,” said Yoder, who was playing in his second Amateur. “I didn’t want come out here and attack the pins or anything, I just wanted to play my game and it worked out for me.”

Denny Scott shot an 81 and finished with a two-day score of 161, winning the B Flight by eight strokes. Keith Steinwehe (169) was second and John Goorsky (177) placed third.

Scott played with a group from the A Flight following a scheduling error, but used different tees.

“They were a great group of fellows – wonderful to be with,” said Scott, playing in his third Amateur. “Of course I’m playing from a different set of tees, so I didn’t want to get in their way and interfere with their game. But it worked out perfect. Everybody had fun and I brought a lot of luck to the other players, they said.”

Franklin Phillip entered the final round in a first-place tie with Alan Corbin in the C Flight and posted a two-day total of 183 for the victory.

Paul Facianna (186) overtook Corbin (191), who finished third, for second place.

You can make all sorts of excuses – that LeBron James was never going anywhere but Miami in 2010, that Melo wasn’t going to turn down all that money from New York, etc.

But the truth is that Reinsdorf, vice president of basketball operations John Paxson and general manager Gar Forman have been unable to land the kind of free agent who could change everything for the Bulls.

Is it something about them? Their personalities?

Their presentations to free agents? What they’re offering? The kind of team they’re building?

Is it something about the head coaches the Bulls hire?

Harsh Chicago weather?

A lack of locker-room amenities? No ocean breeze?

What?

These are some of the questions the Bulls have to ask themselves. The string of misses can’t simply be chalked up to players’ whims, salary cap restrictions or bad luck. Tracy McGrady, on Jerry Krause’s

watch. Dwyane Wade.

LeBron. Anthony.

Something is very wrong.

Stars take contract discounts to play in cities not named “Chicago.’’ Why is that?

Please don’t tell me that many so-called elite free agents have ended up being busts for other teams. The issue on the table is the ability to land the stars you pursue. It’s about succeeding in the moment. The Bulls have been hot on the trail of many players and have little to show for it. Time for some serious organizational self-analysis.

The Bulls will be a good team in 2014-15, especially if Derrick Rose stays healthy.

Tom Thibodeau will make them better. Joakim Noah will power up everyone.

Gasol will be an upgrade over Boozer. So would a tree stump. But being good isn’t the goal. Being great is.

If Gar-Pax had been able to sign Anthony, the Bulls would have been in prime position to get into the NBA finals next season.

Now we’re back to crossing fingers about Rose and extolling the team’s grittiness.

That’s not going to win a

championship.

I’ll take talent every time.

For all his defensive shortcomings, Melo would have given Thibodeau the second scorer he doesn’t have. Instead, he gets Gasol. Plan B stands for Bulls.

Anthony talked so much about winning that some of us were silly enough to believe him. It’s easy for me to ask what the difference is between $73 million (what the Bulls could offer him) and $129 million (the Knicks’ maximum), which is why I will.

How can Anthony’s life be better with New York’s money? How many luxury vehicles does a man need?

For our purposes, though, the bigger issue is the Bulls, who need to figure out why stars don’t want to come to a winning team and a winning city. We used to be able to blame Michael Jordan for bad-mouthing the town and scaring away free agents after he left. Now we can’t even do that.

The Chapel raised just under $3,000 • RUN Continued from page C1 The ages of participants on “Team Oasis” varied, with the youngest member, a 10-year-old running the 10K race, and oldest member, 63, running the 5K. As far as the race results went, Crystal Lake’s Patrick McCay finished first in the 5K with a time of 18:32.3. Curtis Weisenberger, a McHenry graduate and current runner at Illinois-Chicago, won the 10K

(34:21.5).

One of the members of Team Oasis was pastor Jeff Pittman, who crossed the finish line of the 5K running with his child’s stroller. Although many of the members of the group were first-time runners, Pittman said this wasn’t his first go around with the stroller and says the kids are used to it by now.

“It gets easier the more times you run,” he said. “You can guide it when running downhill, but the uphill parts

can get kind of tough.”

Pittman and The Chapel have been raising money, with a goal of $10K in mind to help build their orphanage. Just for the River Run, the group believed their total to be just under $3,000. Van Peursem explained that the group will be able to check in on the orphanage project next fall.

“We are planning a mission trip to that area, and will get to check up on [our couple] and the progress of what we have been raising for.”

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com Funny thing about being a Blackhawks prospect: The organization has become renowned for developing prospects and turning them into NHL players. It’s a big reason why undrafted college standouts such as Drew LeBlanc, Matt Carey and Trevor Van Riemsdyk have signed with the Hawks in recent seasons.

But the Hawks also have one of the most loaded rosters in the league, along with a coach in Joel Quenneville with a clear preference for veteran players. It’s a big reason why so many players spend so much time in the minor leagues, like Ben Smith, or become bartering chips, like Brandon Pirri.

So of the 62 players who will descend Sunday on Johnny’s IceHouse West for the Hawks’

weeklong prospect camp, there’s a realistic chance that not a single one will be on the opening day roster. But by season’s end – because of injuries, trades or veteran struggles – several likely will get their chance. It’s up to them now to position themselves as next in line, then up to them later to make the most of whatever chance they get.

“Everyone’s a young player at some point, and they go through their growing pains,” Hawks general manager Stan Bowman said. “We’re fortunate we don’t have to rush guys into spots where they may not be prepared. But every year, we’ve seen one or two young guys come in.”

This past year, it was Smith.

Before that, it was Saad. Before that, Shaw. And Nick Leddy.

And Marcus Kruger. All were once prospects. All became veterans. The key for the guys

knocking on the door now (such as center Teuvo Teravainen, defensemen Stephen Johns and Adam Clendening and winger Mark McNeill) and for the guys still possibly years away from making the jump (such as this year’s first-round pick, Nick Schmaltz, and last year’s first-round pick, Ryan Hartman) is patience. All will be at camp this week hoping to make an impression that lasts however long it needs to last.

For some teams, the kids get thrown right into the fire.

It rarely happens that way in Chicago these days, with the uncommonly gifted, savvy and physically mature Saad – a 2011 second-rounder – the exception.

“That’s the one thing for us – you get a guy who spent a couple years developing, they have confidence and they’re ready for that next challenge,” Bowman said.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

WHITE SOX 6, INDIANS 2

Beckham remains unfazed during slump Beckham wasn’t so sure about that.

“They’re out there, but I wouldn’t say it’s affecting my play,” he said. “It’s maybe one of those things where everyone deals with it in their own way.

I would maintain that I’m not too worried about that. Whatever is going to happen is going to happen.”

The Sox have depth in their minor-league system at second base, which likely makes Beckham expendable for the right deal. Micah Johnson is playing in the Futures Game on Sunday in Minneapolis. Carlos Sanchez, also a rising talent and one who probably makes Beckham expendable, was expected to arrive from Class AAA Charlotte on Saturday night to take Andre Rienzo’s place on the roster.

How long Sanchez would stick around is unclear, but Beckham remains unfazed. He has gone about his work as if nothing has changed or will.

“Obviously, I would really like to stay here,” he said. “But the White Sox are going to do what’s best for them, and that’s something I’m OK with.”

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com CLEVELAND – Gordon Beckham knows the deal.

He knows this might not be his last season, or month, in the uniform of the only team he has played for. Through good times and – like the past 30 days – bad, he is taking it all in stride.

Beckham was back in the White Sox lineup Saturday after manager Robin Ventura speculated that trade rumors might be affecting his second baseman. Beckham said that’s not the case, but he used the day off to step back, recharge a little and work through some things on his swing.

It looked like a good move

by Ventura after Beckham (1 for 3 with a walk) tacked on the Sox’ fourth and fifth runs with a two-run double down the third-base line in a 6-2 win over the Indians. Beckham went into the game fighting a 1-for-30 slump over his previous seven games and a 13-for-99 rut over his past 26.

“It’s been frustrating for me,” said Beckham, whose av-

by Gordon Beckham in the ninth inning Saturday against the Cleveland Indians in Cleveland. The White Sox won, 6-2. erage has dipped to .237. “I’ve been pressing a little bit. Your at-bats become worse, and it’s one of those things you have to cut the cord with whatever has happened and not take it into each day.”

Beckham took flips and batting practice Friday.

“Mentally, it was good,”

he said. “I did some work that I felt was good work that was going to kind of get me back in the right spot, so it definitely showed [the day off] was the right choice. I felt a lot more comfortable at the plate today.”

Ventura postulated Friday that trade rumors were getting into Beckham’s head.

BRAVES 11, CUBS 6

Alcantara shines, Jackson struggles in loss

By BRIAN SANDALOW Chicago Sun-Times CHICAGO – With each day like Saturday, Arismendy Alcantara gets people more excited about his future with the Cubs. Edwin Jackson also has a future with the Cubs, but what happened to him Saturday will make some less than thrilled about that.

Alcantara was flawless during his first start in center field, while he also had two hits and scored twice.

But that wasn’t enough to undo Jackson’s worst start of the year in the Cubs’ 11-6 loss to the Braves.

Jackson went 3⅔ innings

SPORTS 9

and allowed nine earned runs and three homers, with Chris Johnson hitting two and Braves starter Mike Minor getting the other.

For Jackson (5-10), it was his fourth straight winless start and another tough day for a pitcher who’s only a season and a half into his fouryear, $52 million contract. He was charged with all six Atlanta runs in the fourth and saw his ERA rise from 5.05 to 5.64.

“To me, today was just not his day,” Rick Renteria said.

Unfortunately for the Cubs, that’s been the common refrain for Jackson during his time in Chicago. In his

stint with the Cubs, Jackson is 13-28 and is on pace to see his ERA rise from last year’s 4.98.

Renteria was asked if the Cubs would consider another role for Jackson, and the manager said “I would say the answer’s no.” Jackson, though, knows he has to get better.

“At the end of the day you’ve got two options,” Jackson said. “You can accept it and you can fold, or you can take it as a slap in the face [and] you can turn it around and do something about it.”

Alcantara, meanwhile, continued to impress. His two runs gave him five in

four games, and he handled a sometimes-stiff wind in center without any issues.

“He looked very smooth,” Renteria said.

That may or may not help him stay with the Cubs after the All-Star break. Either way, he’s given the Cubs plenty to think about when they decide what to do with the 22-year-old who is the first of the franchise’s top prospects to arrive at Wrigley Field.

That doesn’t mean he’s clued in on what the Cubs will do with him for the rest of the season.

“I just try to do my job every time [I] come to the field,” Alcantara said.

MLB ALL-STAR GAME

Target Field is ready for its close-up

By JON KRAWCZYNSKI The Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS – With the All-Star game coming to the Twin Cities, the Minnesota Twins see the mid-summer party as more than a way to distract from another disappointing season.

In some ways, it’s a referendum on the success of outdoor baseball in the chilly north country and the first chance 5-year-old Target Field has had to take center stage.

The Twins’ new urban jewel of a ballpark opened in 2010 but has hosted only one postseason series. So team officials are looking forward to putting the ballpark – and yes, the weather – on display.

“One of the greatest things about All-Star week is it’s going to be a showcase for the nation that this isn’t necessarily the

ice box 12 months of the year that people think it is,” Twins President Dave St. Peter said.

“That we have maybe arguably the best weather in the country for three or four months out of the year. That’s what will be on display on Tuesday.”

“We believe as long as this baseball team is competitive, which we haven’t been the last three years, outdoor baseball will not only survive, but it will thrive in Minnesota.”

Not long ago, there were many doubters.

The Twins spent 28 seasons playing indoors at the Metrodome, spawning a generation of fans that grew up not knowing what it was like to watch professional baseball outdoors. So when the Twins secured public funding for a new ballpark and declined to design it with a retractable roof, concern came from far

and wide.

“There was a significant amount of hand-wringing and a decade-long debate about a new facility,” St. Peter said.

“When Hennepin County emerged with a plan, we had to make a decision. Do we pursue a partnership that was going to build an urban and open-air facility, the art of the possible so to speak, a plan that was sellable at the legislature?

“We made that decision based on the belief than an outdoor facility can and will work in Minnesota much like it has in many other northern climates for a long, long time.”

Target Field has been met by wide acclaim from visiting managers and players since its opening in 2010, with the Minneapolis skyline providing a stunning backdrop to a venue with modern amenities and old-school charm.

JOHN DEERE CLASSIC

Harman holds slim lead

By TIM CRONIN The Associated Press SILVIS – Brian Harman is going to play in the final pairing of a PGA Tour stop for the first time. His playing partner is one accomplished part-timer.

Harman had two eagles in a 6-under-par 65 on Saturday that gave him a one-stroke lead after three rounds of the John Deere Classic.

Harman’s solid performance got him to 17-under 196 at TPC Deere Run. His partner on Sunday will be three-time Deere winner Steve Stricker, who is all alone in second, one stroke better than Scott Brown.

“I pay attention to what Steve’s doing but don’t base my game on his,” said Harman, who was grouped with Stricker and Johnson Wagner in the third round. “He’s had a

lot of success here.”

Stricker, who shot a 7-under 64 for a three-round total of 197, is 116 under par in his past 23 rounds at TPC Deere Run, including victories in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Brown is third after a 10-under 61, matching the best round on the PGA Tour in 2014.

S e c o n d round co-leadBrian Harman ers Zach Johnson and William McGirt are at 199, along with Tim Clark and Jerry Kelly.

Two years ago, Harman was paired with eventual winner Johnson, though not in the final twosome.

“I watched Zach win this golf tournament, and learned a lot,” Harman said.

Stricker, making his ninth start of the year, isn’t making

room for another Deere trophy just yet.

“So many guys are in this thing,” Stricker said. “Guys can get off to hot starts here, but you can answer them also.”

There are 10 players within four shots of the lead and 13 within five. But of those players, only Stricker and Johnson, tied for fourth at 14 under, have won on the course.

“It will still be difficult for me tomorrow,” Stricker said.

“I’m not in that final group a lot out here, especially now.

I’ll want to take advantage because I’m not playing very much. To get back into the winner’s circle would mean a lot.”

Stricker’s last win was the 2012 Tournament of Champions. His best finish this season is a tie for sixth at the Memorial. But Harman has never finished better than a tie for third.

1999 — Boston’s Pedro Martinez pitched himself into the All-Star game record book, becoming the first to strike out the first four hitters in an All-Star game, fanning Barry Larkin, Larry Walker and Sammy Sosa in the first inning, and Mark McGwire to start the second.

Martinez struck out five in the first two innings — tying an American League record — to lead the AL to a 4-1 victory over the National League.

2006 — Mark Teixeira hit three homers and drove in seven runs to lead Texas over Baltimore 15-1.

2010 — Brian McCann’s three-run double in the seventh inning provided the NL all the offense it needed to capture its first All-Star game since 1996 with a 3-1 victory.

2012 — Cubs’ Alfonso Soriano homered twice, doubled twice and had five RBIs to lead the Cubs to an 8-1 win over Arizona.

2013 — Tim Lincecum threw the second no-hitter in 11 days, a gem saved by a spectacular diving catch by right fielder Hunter Pence in the San Francisco Giants’ 9-0 win against the last-place San Diego Padres. Lincecum, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, was the loser when Cincinnati’s Homer Bailey no-hit the Giants on July 2, the first in the majors this year.

Stay balanced to strengthen will to succeed

See SUCCESS, page D2

@NWHeraldbiz

Marijuana industry jobs sought after

SUCCESS Kathleen Caldwell

Writing that memo, conducting employee reviews, returning client phone calls, getting a workout in – your list of your daily obligations goes on and on. Your daily demands can make you feel abandoned and alone. Are you aware that you can call upon a trusted assistant that is always by your side and ready to help? You can. It’s your will.

Your will is your strong internal determination and self control to do something difficult. This valuable assistant is your most important ally to complete projects and accomplish important goals. Engaging the power of your will, and your resolve is an elusive concept. It’s just easier to use the excuse of “But I just don’t have enough willpower” to stay committed to a long term project, lose weight or whatever else is on your list. When your will is harnessed and strengthened, you can summon the wise, helpful part of yourself to accomplish whatever you desire.

Your willpower fizzles when your energy is depleted. Notice that it is almost impossible to resist a favorite comfort food when you are experiencing extreme amounts of stress, feeling frustrated or under deadline to complete a project.

Research from my alma mater, Florida State University, indicates that we only have one reservoir of self-control or willpower. All of the stressors in our life draw on the same supply of “I will” energy.

If you deplete your willpower during a grinding commute, managing unrealistic deadlines at work or dealing with difficult co-workers or clients, you will have nothing left at the end of the day to resist that second helping of rocky road ice cream while watching “Lethal Weapon 3” reruns.

Like a muscle, your will needs to be exercised and renewed to grow stronger. The following are strategies to strengthen your will to succeed: • Keep your focus and know what you really want. Focus on one project at a time and prioritize what you really want. Peak performance experts recommend working intensely for 90 minutes and then taking a 15 minute activity or stretch break to re energize your mind and body.

Make a commitment to yourself to stay focused for the entire 90 minutes with a reward at the end of dedicated work period. Close your office door or put up a sign to notify co-workers that this is your “focus time” and to not disturb you unless there is a genuine emergency. Work intently on your projects. They are really important to you and may make a difference in the world. Use your will to turn a goal into a cause and then a movement.

• Use past successes and failures to inform the present. “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work,” Thomas Edison said. Do not dwell on your past failures. Use your past experiences as instructions on what not to do instead of as predictor of your destiny.

Build on the axiom that “success begets more success.” By setting crystal-clear goals and monitoring your progress you become more self aware and have more control.

Essentially, play offense rather than defense.

• Know your limits. I know that if I work too long without a break, I develop a sudden urge to bake brownies. I use rewards, delayed gratification and self-bargaining as strategies for keeping my commitments to myself. So instead of succumbing to a quick sugar fix on an impulse, I keep plenty of healthy, fresh fruits and vegetables in sight and the brownie recipes tucked away and out of reach.

• Remember to use the HALT strategy. Your willpower will fade if you allow yourself to be too Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired. Eat small, protein rich meals and snacks regularly throughout the day to regulate your blood sugar. You need energy to strengthen your resolve and your brain needs glucose to function properly. Without adequate rest and rejuvenation, your will to succeed will be as strong as a wet noodle and the fettuccine Alfredo on the lunchtime menus will call your name.

Building workers McHenry County College ramps up manufacturing programs

By BRETT ROWLAND browland@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Two years ago RoseAnn Smith of Lake in the Hills decided she needed to go back to school if she didn’t want to work the night shift for minimum wage for the rest her life.

“I realized this wasn’t going to cut it,” the 44-yearold year said.

So Smith went back to school through a program at McHenry County College, got her GED and took manufacturing and advanced CNC courses. She will soon be certified in machining with skills she hopes will lead to a higherpaying, more varied career in manufacturing.

“I want to earn a lot more and have a career that I enjoy,” Smith said. “I want to be smiling everyday when I go to work.”

MCC’s new manufacturing lab was built to help others follow in Smith’s footsteps. It also may help to close the widening skills gap local manufacturing companies face as older workers retire.

Students began taking courses at the college’s manufacturing lab this summer. College officials said the lab and for-credit manufacturing programs came in response to what they heard from businesses in the area.

“We started meeting with manufacturers two years ago, and this is what came out of those conversations,” MCC President Vicky Smith said. “I think these programs will continue to grow. It’s really needed in our community by manufacturers of all sizes.”

The lab allows MCC to offer introductory and advanced computer numerical control machining classes on its Crystal Lake campus. For the past three years, the college has partnered with Woodstock District 200 to offer classes at both Woodstock high schools. The college built the lab on the site of the former Black Box Theatre, which was relocated earlier this year, using money from a $500,000 Trade Adjustment Assistance grant from the Department of Labor and other funding.

The money paid for two advanced computer numerical control (known as CNC) machines and three robotics machines. The college spent another $70,000 to buy six manual mill and lathe machines to complete the manufacturing lab.

Having a lab on the college’s main campus makes taking classes easier for

Students surround a manual machine during a class held in McHenry County College’s new manufacturing lab. The college’s lab also has more advanced CNC machines (foreground). many students, MCC adjunct instructor Steve Thompson said.

“It’s a more central location and a better lab – everything here is new,” Thompson said during a recent class. “We also can show off the lab to attract new students.”

Nearly all of the students in Thompson’s classes at MCC are men.

Like Smith, most are interested in learning CNC to gain skills needed to find higher-payer jobs, he said.

Others are looking to get started in the manufacturing industry.

Smith, who grew up with three brothers, said she wasn’t intimidated by the fact that she was the only woman in her class. In fact, she hopes it will give her an edge.

“I think it will help me stand out,” she said. “I bring a different perspective.”

CNC machines “really are how things are made these days,” Thompson said. He pointed to Lake Barrington-based Swiss Automation, which recently announced it was expanding the Cary plant it bought in 2010 and adding 60 new jobs in the coming years, as one sign of a broader resurgence in manufacturing throughout the country.

The manufacturing industry has been touting “re-shoring” projects for several years.

“A lot of companies are bringing manufacturing back to America,” Thompson said. “China doesn’t do quality like we do. And the costs of manufacturing in China are going up.

It doesn’t make sense to manufacture in China anymore.”

Machinist and tool and die maker jobs in the U.S.

Brock Steffen (center), 19, of Crystal Lake, feels a piece of metal while learning about surface finish during his “Introduction to Machining and CNC” class at McHenry County College. are expected to increase 7 percent from 2012 to 2022, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

That’s slower than the 11 percent growth expected for all U.S. jobs during the same period. The median pay for machinists and tool and die makers was $19.67 a hour, or $40,910 a year, in 2012.

Thompson said skilled employees who know “g-code” – the computer code used to program CNC machines – can earn $60,000 to $70,000 a year or more in some cases.

“That’s where everyone wants to go,” he said.

“That’s where the big money is.”

Companies, including Scot Forge in Spring Grove and TC Industries Inc. near Crystal Lake, have praised MCC’s new lab as an asset to the manufacturing community.

“It’s a good start to better the future of manufacturing in McHenry County,” Scot Forge intern coordinator Zach Ford said in a news release.

As older workers retire, manufacturers haven’t been able to find enough skilled workers to take those jobs.

“Many manufacturers don’t have a pipeline of qualified employees,” said Stephen O’Connor, TAAiNAM grant coordinator at McHenry County College. “This is a big need.”

O’Connor plans to work with local companies to establish internship programs for MCC’s manufacturing students. Many of the college’s manufacturing classes are already at or near capacity, O’Connor said.

Before MCC started offering the classes, many students traveled out of the county to get training, said Julie Courtney, director of McHenry County Workforce Network.

“There is a large demand for this type of training,” she said. “This is a huge asset for employers, employees and those seeking new skills.”

Pam Cumpata, president of the McHenry County Economic Development Corp., said MCC’s program helps put the focus on the skills gap in manufacturing and could help local companies stay competitive as the industry continues to evolve.

“This is extremely positive,” she said.

CHICAGO – The prospect of adding jobs – even as few as 30 – has led officials in many shrinking Illinois’ communities to set aside any qualms about the state’s legalization of medical marijuana and to get friendly with would-be growers.

The aspiring growers and their agents have been racing from town to town, shaking hands with civic leaders and promising to bring jobs and tax revenue if they’re able to snag one of the 21 cultivation permits the state will grant this fall.

Although not a single plant has sprouted, Illinois’ new medical marijuana industry is pushing the boundaries of what is considered attractive economic development.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve had a company say, ‘Hey, we want to bring in 50 jobs and we want to bring in tax revenue to your school,’” said Liz Skinner, the mayor of Delavan, a central Illinois city of 1,700 residents. The city has annexed property optioned by Joliet-based ICC Holdings as a possible site for a marijuana cultivation center, and Skinner said a new tax increment financing district may be the next step.

Stephen Osborne, an attorney who represents a group vying for one of the growing permits, has been driving from town to town in southern Illinois and introducing himself to local officials. Mostly, he’s been welcomed warmly: “It’s a ‘What took you so long to get here’ type of response,” he said. “Once you mention 30 or more jobs in a small community, they’ll listen to what you have to say.”

A majority of Americans – 54 percent – favor making marijuana legal at least for medicinal use, according to a Pew Research Center poll of 1,821 adults conducted in February. The survey had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.6 percentage points.

New York recently became the 23rd state to make medical marijuana legal. Six months before the Illinois law was enacted, a poll by the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University found that 63 percent of Illinoisans favored making medical use of marijuana legal.

In Illinois, city councils from Crystal Lake to Peru to Marion are considering marijuana zoning ordinances and special use permits, though the state is not tracking precisely how many.

Permit seekers have simply moved on from the few communities that have voted down such proposals.

The process for building local support “starts with a conversation over the phone,” explained Michael Mayes, CEO of Chicagobased Quantum 9 Inc., a cannabis consulting company that has helped win permits for marijuana producers in four other states. He said the ultimate goal would be to get a letter of recommendation from a mayor that can be submitted to the state.

Aspiring marijuana producers expect Illinois to launch a 30-day application period soon and are rushing to get their paperwork in order. To win a cultivation center permit, they’ll be required to show their plans comply with local zoning rules.

Bonus points toward a winning bid can be had by submitting plans to “give back to the local community,” according to draft rules under legislative review.

In Delavan, Mayor Skinner said there has been talk of a cultivation center-supported gift for a drug task force, but no hard promises.

Cost of living one factor when evaluating job offers Dear Dave, I have job offers from two tech companies. One is in San Antonio and pays $55,000 a year, while the other is in Silicon Valley making $100,000 a year. My friends are advising me to move to California, but I feel like I’d have more money in my budget if I moved to San Antonio. What do you think?

– Aaron

Dear Aaron, The good news about Silicon Valley is you’d be around a ton of really smart people in your industry.

I mean, it’s the epicenter of the tech world, right? You’ll learn a ton and have lots of opportunities, so there’s definitely an upside.

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey The problem is that the Silicon Valley area is one of the most expensive places to live in the entire country. The real estate prices and cost of living are ridiculous. Still, if it weren’t for the cost of living argument, it would be a no-brainer for me. Then, it wouldn’t really be so much about the income and prices as it would be about the career opportunity.

Still, you have to consider the economic factors involved here.

With that in mind, it’s not an exag-

geration to say you might actually put more money in your pocket at $55,000 in San Antonio than you would $100,000 in Silicon Valley.

That’s entirely possible.

I think things are going to come out pretty even – economically speaking – once you adjust for the cost of living. I’m a huge fan of Texas. It’s a great business market and tax situation down there. But really, in my mind the question comes down to your personal comfort level and quality of life. And that’s something you’ll have to answer for yourself.

– Dave

Dear Dave, My wife and I just became debt-

free, and we’re saving for our first house. We have about $75,000 in savings, and we’d like to buy a home with cash in the next few years.

Where do you think we should place our money so it’s working for us while we save?

– Andrew

Dear Andrew, I don’t advise playing the market on the short term. If I were in your shoes, and looking at possibly a twoto four-year window, I’d just pile the cash in a money market account or possibly a balanced fund.

I’m a big fan of growth stock mutual funds when it comes to long-term investing. The problem with that in this scenario would be

the volatility of the market. By the time you’ve saved up more money and spent time deciding on a house, the market may be down. All you’re looking for in this scenario is a wise, safe place to park it and pile it up while you prepare.

Congratulations, Andrew. Debtfree is the way to be when you’re looking to buy a nice, new home.

As part of the remodel process, Applebee’s auctioned off the older décor and memorabilia to raise $1,480. The money was donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois.

circle of influence is very powerful and compelling. If your pledge is to become a non-smoker, release excess weight, start a new business or do anything that requires a strong will, you need supporters that are going in a similar direction. Your associations are a very powerful force and a strong predictor of your success or failure.

Make public declarations about your commitments with deadlines and ask for help along the way. It takes courage to make requests of people, so don’t be afraid to ask for what you want (and what you do not want) in order to be successful. No one can do it all alone.

Marijuana entrepreneurs looking for TIF districts • MARIJUANA Continued from page D1 It’s still unclear how many groups will compete for permits and whether applications will emerge in all regions of the state.

“What I say to others who are sniffing around, if you’ve not secured property, local support and a special use permit, give up now because you don’t have a shot,” said Tim McGraw of ICC Holdings, which plans to use the name American Cannabis Enterprises if it wins permits.

Entrepreneurs are looking for existing tax increment financing districts, according to consultants. TIF districts allow cities to finance the cost of new roads, sewers and other infrastructure through future increases in property values.

Attorney Tom Jacob and his consulting company, TIF Illinois, have worked with 65 Illinois cities on tax increment financing. Many of those cities have told him they’ve been approached by cannabis groups.

“It’s being viewed by all our cities as a business opportunity,” Jacob said. He cautions cities not to give money upfront to a developer who may not have financing. The

“It’s being viewed by all our cities as a business opportunity. ... There are serious people with serious money in the state who are looking at cultivation.”

Tom Jacob Attorney with TIF Illinois Illinois permitting process will screen out the featherweights, he said, and towns should condition their agreements on state licensing.

“There are serious people with serious money in the state who are looking at cultivation,” Jacob said. “If you have five applicants coming to your town, you want to know who the real people are with real money and interest.”

Delavan’s mayor said concerns about the industry evolving into recreational marijuana are fading. Recreational use remains illegal in Illinois and the conditional use permit the City Council approved specifies it’s for medical cannabis only.

“Most people are very much in favor,” Skinner said.

“We want to make sure our town remains viable and keep our school district.”

Downside of low U.S. mortgage rates? Less selling

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER The Associated Press

AP photo

Ryan Carson (right) cooks dinner with his wife, Jenny Roraback-Carson (left) and their daughter Clara, 3, at their home in Seattle. The Carsons are one of many would-be home sellers across the country who have mortgage rates so low, it doesn’t make financial sense to sell their homes, even if they need more space, a trend which limits the supply of homes and can contribute to slower home sales. plies also take a hit.

Mark Fleming, chief economist at CoreLogic, estimates that as many as 3.6 million homeowners are unlikely to sell this year because they would have to give up a lower rate.

“They got the deal of the century,” said Glenn Kelman, CEO of real estate brokerage Redfin. “I don’t think in 100 years anyone will be lending money at 3.5 percent. How do you walk away from a deal like that?”

You’d think Ryan Carson, an attorney in Seattle, would be ready to sell. He and his wife have one young child and they are expecting twins.

They are going to hire a live-in nanny, which means there will be five people living in their four-bedroom house.

“I could probably use the extra space, honestly,” he said. And he would make money off the sale, since his home’s market value is above what he paid.

But Carson, 39, has a 30-year, 3.85 percent mortgage rate, so he isn’t

going anywhere. He refinanced into the lower rate last summer, reducing his monthly payment to $2,200 from $2,600.

“I have no interest right now in selling,” he said. He and his wife plan to remodel instead.

A shortage of homes for sale has plagued the housing market since late 2012. The number of available homes last year was the equivalent of just 4.9 months’ worth of sales, according to the National Association of Realtors.

That’s far below the typical figure of 6 months. Inventory has recovered somewhat this year, partly because the spring buying season is underway, but it was still equal to just 5.6 months of supply in May. Meanwhile, sales of existing homes have fallen 5 percent in the past year.

Yet prices rose 8.8 percent nationwide during the same period, according to CoreLogic, partly because of the limited supply.

What economists call “rate lock-

adno=0265858

WASHINGTON – Would-be home sellers across the country are grappling with a once-in-a-lifetime problem: They have mortgage rates so absurdly low it would hurt them financially to sell.

Doing so would mean giving up an irresistible rate in exchange for a new mortgage carrying a rate up to a percentage point higher. Their monthly payments would be larger even for a house of the same price. That’s discouraging some people from selling, thereby limiting the supply of available homes and contributing to slower home sales.

It’s a significant shift from the way the U.S. housing market has worked for the past 30 years. For most of that time, whenever a homeowner decided to trade up to a better home, mortgage rates usually were lower than the last time they had bought. That helped make a new purchase seem more attractive.

But that is changing. The average rate on a 30-year mortgage fell below 4 percent in late 2011 and reached a record low level of 3.3 percent in November 2012. It didn’t top 4 percent again until mid-2013. Homeowners took advantage of the lower rates and a refinancing boom ensued.

More than one-third of homes with a mortgage now have rates below 4 percent, real estate data provider CoreLogic estimates. Yet mortgage rates now average 4.2 percent. That is still low by historical standards but up about three-quarters of a point from a year and a half ago. And should mortgage rates rise later this year and next, as many economists expect, even more homeowners will be affected.

As a result, many homeowners with low rates are staying put.

Others are moving and buying new homes, but keeping their old ones and renting them. Both choices mean that fewer homes are listed for sale, which drives up prices. Higher prices and limited selection have put the brakes on a housing recovery that began in 2012.

And slower home sales, in turn, drag down economic growth. Fewer sales mean lower commissions for real estate agents. Sales of furniture, appliances and garden sup-

in” is one of several reasons so few houses are for sale. Another factor is that almost 40 percent of homeowners still don’t have enough equity to enable them to sell. Some are “underwater,” with a mortgage higher than the home’s value. Others may have so little equity that they can’t afford to pay off the sales costs and put a down payment on their next property.

“We are in a uniquely difficult period for matching buyers and sellers,” said Stan Humphries, chief economist at real estate data provider Zillow.

Home prices are expected to keep rising in the coming months, though at a slower pace than the double-digit gains that occurred earlier this year.

Higher prices should lower the number of underwater homes and enable more people to sell.

But as the number of underwater homes falls, several studies suggest the impact could be offset by higher mortgage rates, which would increase the number of homeowners facing in-

terest rate “lock-in.” Most economists expect mortgage rates to rise later this year as the Federal Reserve ends its bond-purchase program, which is intended to keep borrowing rates low.

“Mortgage rate lock-in is going to be a major challenge for the housing market going forward,” Humphries said. “It is going to be a constant tug of war between buyers on one side ... and mortgage rate lock-in on the other side.”

Humphries forecasts that rates will reach 5 percent by the first three months of next year. That would mean those buying or refinancing now, at the current rates of about 4.1 percent, might never want to sell either.

A 2011 study by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York concluded that for every $1,000 increase in a homeowner’s annual mortgage payment, the likelihood that the homeowner would sell fell as much as 16 percent.

Paul Bernard, a recruiter in New York City, said the issue has begun to interfere with some of his clients’ willingness to move for a new job.

In one recent case, an employee at a large technology firm decided to postpone a job-related move to San Francisco partly because it would have forced him to take out a mortgage at a half-percentage point higher than his current one.

“The job market in some cases is less mobile than it used to be,” he said.

Low rates have combined with rising rents nationwide to make renting out a home, rather than selling, more attractive. A rental index compiled

by Zillow has risen 19 percent in the past year.

Santiago Garcia, 30, and his wife both work from home and recently felt their two-bedroom condominium was getting cramped. The couple was also thinking of starting a family. So in February they bought a new home in Oxford, Massachusetts, about 45 minutes from Boston.

But the mortgage rate on their condo is just 2.95 percent, so they decided to keep it and rent it out. The mortgage is so low because its rate is adjustable after 10 years.

Their monthly mortgage payment is only $540. But they are renting it out for $1,200 a month.

“The cash flow was so much, it was an easy decision,” Garcia said.

How to Overcome Your Worst Work Habits

By Hannah Hamilton Monster Contributing Writer No one’s perfect and we all have our share of bad habits. The problem comes when those habits get in the way of achieving our goals.

If you feel like your on-the-job bad habits are holding you back, take these five tips and start working to overcome them.

Hold Yourself Accountable And let your team in on the action.

“Share the habit you are breaking with at least one person on your team -- if not the entire team -- and report it to them each day as you succeed,” says Back Office Drafting founder Laney Lyons. “Companies such as Weight Watchers use this accountability motivator very successfully. Use your team to support you and hold you accountable.”

Prioritize Your Tasks Each Day Nothing will help you more than being able to see what you need to accomplish in list form. “Most people have a tendency of getting

overwhelmed at work. You’re constantly getting distracted with emails, pointless conference calls, and unexpected tasks,” says digital media specialist Ariel Lopez. “I suggest taking care of larger/more difficult tasks earlier in your day so by the time the afternoon rolls around you’re smooth sailing.”

Fear is where the worst work habits originate from, says Aligned founder Amita Patel. “Fear of discomfort, fear of failure, fear of not being good enough. So we procrastinate and avoid taking aligned action.

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - Your focus and drive will win you many supporters and admirers. By intensely pursuing your beliefs and dedicating yourself to your goals, you can have it all.

Your energy and concentration will help you achieve the success you have been working so hard for.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Expect partnership problems if you have been too domineering or smothering. Be more agreeable and make some concessions so you can reach a happy, more meaningful relationship.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will receive conflicting or confusing information.

Do a little fact-finding of your own to ensure that you have everything you need to make a decision or complete a project.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Include children or elders in your entertainment plans. You may want to turn the tables and let others decide the activity. Day trips or group gatherings will bring everyone closer together.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You will have a falling-out with someone if you aren’t willing to back down or compromise. Reduce stress by taking time to rethink and re-evaluate before you make a decision.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You have a good heart, but as much as you would like to solve everyone’s problems, sometimes all you can do is lend a sympathetic ear. Sometimes, that’s all that is really needed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Your resources will dwindle if you lend money to everyone with a sob story. Learn to say no without feeling guilty. Steer clear of all financial entanglements for a while.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You will feel left out if things don’t go your way. By making personal changes that lift your spirits, you can turn your attitude from negative to

positive.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Consider doing a little entertaining. It’s not necessary to do anything lavish; just add some touches that will make your guests feel at home, and you will be appreciated as a great host.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Let your voice be heard. You may be surprised at the effect that your support has on those you share your beliefs with. You will form alliances with influential individuals.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Value your friendships. There is a great sense of

security in knowing that there is someone on your side no matter what. Gatherings that allow you to show your appreciation will pay off.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can’t take everything at face value. Someone will lead you astray if given the opportunity. Make your own observations and do what’s best for you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- No matter how appealing, don’t let anyone talk you into taking an unnecessary risk. If you want to part with your cash, consider investing in yourself and your skills.

Getting wild with knowledge raphy made it an ideal place to hole up.

With its wide-open, rough terrain, it made it difficult to move about undetected, thus making it easy to defend. During the end of the Old West, Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch gang built cabins in this area. With some nearby contacts, they were able to have access to beef and other supplies. Story goes that pursuing lawmen never discovered the site of the hideout.

Now you can hike, take horseback rides and drive ATVs in the area.

Bacchus is the Roman god of wine. Is there a female counterpart? – V.L., Butler, Pennsylvania Bacchus is the Roman god of wine and intoxication; he is equated with the Greek Dionysus. Maenads were the female followers of Dionysus. Their name translates to “raving ones.” They were constantly in a state of ecstatic frenzy through a combination of dancing and intoxication. When they were whipped into these frenzies, the maenads dressed in fawn skins and carried a long stick wrapped in ivy or vine leaves and tipped with a pinecone, called a thyrsus. They often handled and wore snakes, as well as ivy wreaths or bull helmets on their heads.

By the way, Bacchus also is identified with the old Italian god Liber, meaning “the free one.” He was a god of viticulture, wine, fertility and freedom.

How many stars are on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? – E.B.L., Rocky Mount, North Carolina On June 3, 2014, Luther Vandross received the 2,526th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It was a posthumous presentation in the category of recording.

The next star will be given to late comic Phil Hartman on Aug. 26.

The Walk of Fame runs a bit over 1 mile, mostly along Hollywood Boulevard.

If you are going to look for your favorite entertainers, you will need a map; I had good luck with the Zale Map. Contact Danny Zale for more information. You can reach him by searching for “Danny Zale” online.

According to some researchers, the Walk attracts about 10 million visitors annually.

Was wondering about a current commercial for the new iPhone 5S. In the commercial, there are a bunch of people working out to an app on the phone. There is a song playing in the background. The main verse is “Go, you chicken fat, go!” The song sounds so

DID YOU KNOW? Courtney Love was considered for the role of Dorothy Boyd in the movie “Jerry Maguire” (1996). The part went to Renee Zellweger (above).

familiar, and it sounds like it’s been around awhile. Was it in a movie? Or was it written for this commercial? – M.A.B., Whittier, California The song is officially titled “The Youth Fitness Song,” and it was delivered to schools all over the country at the request of President John F. Kennedy.

The song was written by Meredith Willson, the composer and playwright best known for “The Music Man” and “The Unsinkable Molly Brown.” Willson even talked Robert Preston, star of “The Music Man,” into singing the fitness tune.

Three million copies of the record were distributed through the President’s Council on Physical Fitness, which lives on today by a longer name – the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition.

From time to time in a Western TV show or movie, the bad guys hide out in Robbers Roost. Is this a Hollywood-created location? – E.B., Sarasota, Florida Robbers Roost was an outlaw hideout in southeastern Utah. Its natural topog-

I grew up on a farm in Connecticut. My grandpapa not only farmed, he also traded with the local Native Americans. He paid them a fair price for their goods and sold them for a good price in town. If he got more profit than expected, he’d give them credit for items in his trading post. I loved when they came to the store and told me stories about magical people of the forest; they were described as mischievous but basically good-natured.

However, some Native Americans – I think from another tribe – described them as being dangerous. I’m over 90 years old, and all my family is long gone. Are you familiar with the stories by any chance? Do you know the creature’s name? – M.J., Storrs, Connecticut I’m thinking you were enchanted with the Wampanoag people, and they were telling you stories of the Pukwudgie. You are right – the stories of these creatures vary from tribe to tribe. Some say they are known to kidnap people and push them off cliffs.

The best advice is if you do encounter a Pukwudgie in the woods is to ignore it.

More than likely, you will be rewarded with a nonconfrontational moment.

I just read that Mounds State Park in Anderson, Indiana, is allegedly a hotspot for Pukwudgie activity.

Do-ahead dinner makes day easier

By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press Those first few weeks when the kids head back to school can be among the most hectic for families.

The lazy days of summer quickly give way to crazy schedules, homework and afterschool activities. And don’t forget somehow managing to slip dinner into the middle of all that.

This is why a do-ahead dinner can be a lifesaver as families get accustomed to their new routines.

So we created this easy, kid-friendly ham and cheese casserole that can be prepped and refrigerated the night before, then just popped in the oven the next evening. And here’s another bonus – the leftovers make a great breakfast the next day, too.

Easy Overnight Ham And Cheese Casserole Start to finish: 1 hour 20 minutes (20 minutes active) Servings: 12 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed 4 eggs 2 cups whole milk 1/2 cup light mayonnaise 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon onion powder 20-ounce ham steak, diced 3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided 2 medium carrots, grated 2 medium turnips, grated 20-ounce package refrigerated shredded potatoes Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.

Place the spinach in a mesh strainer and squeeze out as much water as possible. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, pepper and onion powder until smooth. Stir in the squeezed spinach, ham, 2 cups of the cheese, the carrots, turnips and potatoes. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan.

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese over the top of the casserole. At this point, the casserole can be covered and refrigerated for up to 1 day.

When ready to bake, heat the oven to 350 F. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until puffed and golden and a knife inserted at the center comes out clean. Serve warm.

Nutrition information per serving: 380 calories; 180 calories from fat (47 percent of total calories); 20 g fat (8 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 120 mg cholesterol; 25 g carbohydrate; 3 g fiber; 4 g sugar; 23 g protein; 1,090 mg sodium.

Over the years, we have encountered numerous service calls where a thermostat was improperly located.

In an ideal situation, the thermostat should be located in a neutral area of the house, usually in a hallway. This tends to give the most uniform temperature throughout the house.

The following is a list of thermostat do’s and don’ts: • It should be mounted 4.5 - 5 feet above the floor • Never mount on an exterior wall • Install thermostat on interior walls only • Can be mounted near a central return • Never locate near a supply register • Locate away from outside doors and windows • Keep thermostat free of air flow obstructions If your thermostat seems to be installed in the correct location but you are experiencing comfort issues, call us for a free evaluation and inspection of your home.

If you have any questions about your home’s heating and cooling systems, please contact me today.

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

Licensed General Dentist

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Designers agree that understated elegance is a difficult decor scheme to master

By MELISSA RAYWORTH The Associated Press Paint your walls a bold color, and friends will likely praise your creativity. Invest in a standout piece of furniture or striking work of art, and your decorating is bound to earn compliments. But creating a noteworthy room with subtle, understated elegance is a bit more complicated.

Understated style “rides the fine line between too sparse and too cold,” said designer Brian Patrick Flynn, creator of the FlynnsideOut design blog. “A lack of objects makes a room feel unfinished, and a lack of color can also read of lifeless.”

But finding the right, subtle balance can be worth it. Although bold decorating has been in the spotlight for a while, a more neutral room, if well-designed, “will never become tired,” Flynn said.

“Every once in a while, it’s nice to have a space that’s Photo provided just simple and clean,” he A living room designed by interior designer Betsy Burnham of Burnham Design in Los Angeles balances a said.

ndrew Parke’s creations, which fill about 50 boxes in his Woodstock base-

ment, aren’t easy to describe.

Many of them look like an M.C. Escher art piece come to life and wouldn’t be out of place at the Museum of Science and Industry.

The pieces will be available locally, though, on display July 20 Andrew Parke of Woodstock, a retired math teacher, demonstrates his inventions (top) in the basement of his home Wednesday.

at the McHenry County Historical Society Museum.

“I said to the children, ‘You can work with these things I have built – I never said play – as long as you got your work done.’ They got a great deal of work done as a result.”

Plexiglass cut into helices that look like a DNA molecule, which Parke rolls along the floor. Multi-colored gears from toy kits fastened together with nuts, bolts and washers forming a spherical shape with all the gears turning together. Small bits of particle board on hinges that fold out to make a cube.

Sometimes, he can’t remember how he made a piece, surmising that he may have started with a balloon to hold the original shape.

Parke, 80, had planned on becoming an engineer, but he said the calculus concepts did him in. Plus, there wasn’t enough of a “people” aspect to it.

“The thing I didn’t like [is] most of the people in engineering talked about things and specifications and materials,” Parke said. “They didn’t really talk about people.”

And so he instead became an elementary school teacher, which he did for 39 years.

When he was teaching, Parke would bring in dozens of his inventions at once to give his students the opportunity to pursue subjects that interested them outside of the curriculum.

“I said to the children, ‘You can work with these things I have built – I never said play – as long as you got your work done.’

They got a great deal of work done as a result.”

Back then, he made more electronics, like a 65-pound alarm clock with programmable minutes that enabled him to get his fifth-graders to their music lessons on time.

Now, he’s switched to more geometrical objects and uses more PVC pipe than copper since the price of the latter went up.

He’ll buy a toy kit in the mail for $50 but use the parts for years.

“I would say no, it’s not terribly expensive, but when you’ve had up to 200 things you’ve built in the last nine years, it can add up,” Parke said.

His inventions take up about 120 cubic feet, but aside from a few small pieces, that’s only what he’s created since moving to Illinois from New York in 2005. Almost all of the things he made before the move didn’t come along.

The items he’s building now may not have a practical use, but that doesn’t stop Parke from heading to the basement for an hour or so every day.

Parke said his items recently were on display in an activity room at Hearthstone Communities, where he and his wife live.

The historical society’s administrator, Kurt Begalka, saw the collection while visiting.

Begalka thought enough of Parke’s creations that he wanted to put them on display, so that’s something, Parke said.

“That to me is confirmation of the value, if nothing else,” he said.

He’ll be building as long as he can.

“I make stuff whether I have anybody to show it to or not,” he said.

Parke’s creations will be on display from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. July 20 at the McHenry County Historical Society Museum, 6422 Main St., Union.

Husband’s money management puts marriage in the red Dear Abby: My husband and I have been married for 19 years. We have had our ups and downs, but the past few months have been hell. My husband lies about having paid bills. When I ask, “Have you paid the rent?” I mean “IN FULL,” not a partial payment.

We have now been evicted for nonpayment of rent and are living in a hotel. Utilities have been cut off because of his partial payments and his lying about their having been paid in full, and I’m tired of it.

It’s not just the two of us who have been affected because of his mismanagement of money, but also our two children who are caught up in this mess. I’m not one of those wives who sit around not knowing what’s going on with the finances. I have bills I pay for the house, too, and after they are paid I give him money to pay other bills.

I am sick and tired, Abby, and I want to divorce him.

What other choice do I have?

The “for richer or poorer” thing is no longer working for me. How much should a person tolerate before walking away from marriage? – Had Enough In Tennessee Dear Had Enough: You say this has been going on for a few months. Where is the money going that isn’t being spent on bills? You say you give your husband money. Is he bringing in any, or is he jobless? Before you decide to walk away, you need to understand why it is your husband has been lying to you, particularly if this is recent behavior.

If you are better at handling money than he is, then you should be handling the finances and paying all of the bills. That would be a solution to your money troubles. But reading between the lines of

your letter, it appears there may be a lot more going on between you and your husband than you have disclosed. And if that’s the case, I’d recommend marriage counseling before I’d recommend divorce.

Dear Abby: When I was a child, my mother always told me to close the bathroom door after using the toilet so as not to allow any offensive odors to escape.

I’m an adult now, have a nice home and entertain often. I am dismayed that most of my guests leave the bathroom door wide open after each use. It is particularly offensive because of the close proximity of the powder room to the dining room. Like the habit of men forgetting to put the toilet seat down, I find this “open door” policy both disgusting and inexcusable.

Would you kindly advise whether my mother was correct, or am I being too sensitive? I’ll post your answer on the door of my guest bathroom for my guests to see. – Grossed Out, Carmel

Valley, Calif.

Dear Grossed Out: While it would be hard to argue in favor of offensive fumes wafting into a hallway, not everyone feels as strongly as you and your mother do on this subject. Your guests may be leaving the door open so other guests will know the bathroom is unoccupied.

Because you prefer for it to be shut at all times, rather than post a letter from me on the door, consider installing an automatic spring closer on it, or post a small sign that reads, “Please Shut Door When Leaving.”

Child of alcoholic fights same battle Dan’s dad was a hard man in many ways. He had lost a wife earlier in his life and had started a drinking run that had never really ended.

He ran a large construction crew like a military unit and handled his three kids pretty much the same way. Dan had never seen his dad cry or even have a moment of indecision. Dan would say his dad was always “large and in charge.” He didn’t know till much later that his dad had alcoholism.

There were a series of “step-moms” who were customarily female drinking buddies that followed his dad back from whatever watering hole he was frequenting. His uncles were his dad’s party pals, so Dan learned by age 10 to “drink like a man.” His first experience with alcohol was at age 8, and his first drunk experience was at 10 years old. Dan already had learned to hide feelings of any kind except anger. Feelings, he learned, were for the weak, and he couldn‘t afford to be vulnerable in his house.

As his dad’s alcoholism worsened, he became less able to manage the house and even began to slip at work. Dan learned to pick up the responsibility for everything from bills and home maintenance to taking care of his brother and sister.

Like his dad, Dan’s heart was hardening with every passing day. Inside, he was a scared little boy, hurt and feeling like life was unfair.

Outside, he was drinking heavily, taking drugs and getting in fights to ward off

his fear of weakness. But like his dad, Dan was no dummy and also was managing to begin what would later be a successful business career. His perfectionism, his ability to ignore feelings and his ability to maintain calm under extreme cocktail conditions placed him in good stead for a quick rise to the professional top. He was a great salesman.

By the time alcoholism killed his dad, Dan had divorced his family with the exception of his youngest brother, whom he supported, and had divorced twice.

Living alone and drinking heavily, the booze finally caught up with him. He tried to stop only to end up going on three-day benders every two weeks or so. After numerous attempts to stop with no tangible successes, wild mood swings and lost days, his closest friend helped him limp into the hospital for detox after a particularly nasty six-day, blackout weekend ending on the basement floor with cuts to his hands and head.

Beaten and ashamed, Dan crawled into AA and found out he wasn’t that different.

He found out that feelings weren’t weakness and that his dad wasn’t a bad man, rather a sick man just like him. He was able, in time, to forgive his dad and to move toward a happy sober life.

‘A place in history’ Genealogical Society conference to teach research techniques “It’s a big interest for people to have – to know where you came from. Discovering my ancestry gave me a feeling of belonging. I had a place in history, and it brought history alive to me. It made the world bigger and smaller all at the same time because I had a place in it.”

– Claudia Conroy McHenry County Genealogical Society library coordinator and 2014 conference chairwoman

By LINDSAY WEBER editorial@nwherald.com The past is the past, but that doesn’t always mean it needs to stay there, undisturbed. People may better understand who they truly are when they know where they came from.

The study of genealogy is growing in popularity, and the amount of access to records and number of websites dedicated to searching family histories is on the rise.

Although the resources are extensive, it can be difficult to know where to start and how to utilize all of the tools available.

The McHenry County Illinois Genealogical Society will host a conference titled Genealogy Inside Out on July 19. The conference will offer four sessions with helpful information for novices and experienced searchers.

“We want to reach out to all levels of researchers on all sorts of topics,” said Claudia Conroy, MCIGS library coordinator and 2014 conference chairwom-

an. “We want to fulfill the mission of the organization, which is to foster an interest in genealogy, provide instruction in family research methods and practices, and preserve records.”

Conroy became involved with MCIGS four years ago after she found a photo of her grandmother and realized she didn’t know anything about her.

“A lot of my family’s recollections were wrong. You have to start with what you know. You have to start with you and go back,” Conroy said.

Conroy took to genealogy right away and found herself deeply involved in helping

to index all of the McHenry County coroner inquest records dating to the 1800s.

The project took Conroy and other volunteers 1½ years to compile and post to the MCIGS website for members to access.

“It’s a big interest for people to have – to know where you came from,” Conroy said. “Discovering my ancestry gave me a feeling of belonging. I had a place in history, and it brought history alive to me. It made the world bigger and smaller all at the same time because I had a place in it.”

Salem, Wisconsin, resident Kristina Freund has attended several MCIGS meetings and has reserved a spot for herself at the conference.

Freund recently discovered that she and Conroy have a distant relation, something a little digging will do.

“I’m really looking forward to it [the conference]. I’m taking a session on how to build a family website, which is something I’ve been wanting to start,” Freund said. “The conference will really help to understand how to go about

Gem Talk

research.”

Freund said there was only so much that could be done online.

“It’s really beneficial to be able to exchange ideas and meet others that are interested in the same thing,” Freund said. “Finding out about my family history helps to ground who I am and gives me a sense of where I came from.”

The conference will offer sections on several subjects, including research tools and methods, photograph preservation and how several 19th century cemeteries were moved to make way for new transportation improvements and building developments.

The conference also will feature seven nationally recognized speakers and handson workshops. Registered attendees will be treated to breakfast and a boxed lunch.

Those who register the day of the conference will not be guaranteed a boxed lunch.

For registration information, visit www.mcigs.com.

The MCIGS already has scheduled next year’s conference for July 11, 2015.

A few weeks ago my kids and I decided to do a little science experiment. We wanted to test the reaction a pearl has when exposed to common household products. I liked the idea because it gave me a Gem Talk topic and my son Noah liked it because he got to destroy pearls with chemicals and not get in trouble for it. Emma on the other hand, being 11 and way too cool to do science projects with mom over her summer break, really had no interest in the project at all.

Noah and I began rummaging around under our sink in search of the most caustic chemicals that we could find to totally annihilate these pearls. We came up a little short handed since I don’t use anything bad around my house except for the occasional splash of bleach. We ended up soaking the pearls in water (the control), bleach, “It’s Totally Awesome” (a dollar store cleaner), Resolve, vinegar and vodka (you know for the occasional spilt drink). After an hour, there was really no change in the pearls except for the one in bleach. That guy’s fate was sealed as soon as we dropped it into the jar. It pretty much started disintegrating almost immediately.

After an overnight “soak” for the pearls our results proved quite interesting. Obviously the bleach was extremely detrimental for the pearl. So don’t wear any pearls while cleaning with bleach or in/around a pool. The water had no effect, but we knew that since it was our control. The “It’s Totally Awesome” and vodka had no adverse effects either. The vinegar was the next most harmful detergent… yep you read that right…simple household white vinegar. I suggest keeping your pearls far away from vinegar! The Resolve didn’t harm the pearl but actually made the luster more pronounced. I thought this was a fluke thing, but once I checked it after a few days it just kept getting better. Now I am NOT in any way saying you should take your Great-grandmother’s 100-year-old pearls and soak them in a bottle of Resolve for a few days. This was just one very simple experiment that I did with my kids. It would take a lot more research and testing to really draw a solid conclusion about the effects Resolve has on your pearls. However, the one thing you should do is keep your pearls away from bleach and chlorine…ALWAYS!

MINI-REVIEWS & LOCAL SHOWTIMES OF CURRENT MOVIES ON SCREEN NOW

“DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES” STARRING: Gary Oldman, Keri Russell, Andy Serkis

PLOT: A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleased a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived as both sides are brought to the brink of war that will determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.

RATED: PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action and brief strong language TIME: 2 hours, 10 minutes VERDICT: The biggest uprising in the sequel to 2011’s “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” is by its digitally created, nonhuman characters.

Hail Caesar. That’s the ape played

by Andy Serkis, the motion-capture maestro of creatures like Gollum and a much bigger ape, Kong.

Serkis played Caesar in “Rise of the Planet Apes,” the surprisingly good origin story of the rebooted “Apes” franchise. “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” belongs to the monkeys.

Given that the apes communicate in sign language and spurts of English, this may be the biggest summer movie with so many subtitles. Whereas Pierre Boulle’s original “Planet of the Apes” was satirical, director Matt Reeves (“Cloverfield”) and screenwriters Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver and Mark Bomback have given this “Apes” the grandly gloomy “Dark Knight” treatment, complete with an exceptional score by Michael Giacchino. There’s a pervasive jealousy to the primates in “Apes”: their comfort in nature and simplicity of life. Audiences, in fact, will cheer the animals over the humans. But there’s also a question of putting too much gravity on an essentially absurd story. Eventually we have screaming monkeys on horseback firing automatic weapons amid roaring flames. If there’s a failing of “Apes,” it’s that it feels like yet another manufactured franchise.

Talented people like Reeves and Serkis are brought in like HGTV fixer-uppers to restore mossy pop-culture properties. But, alas, they’re very good at it.– Associated

“EARTH TO ECHO” STARRING: Teo Halm, Astro, Reese

LOCAL SHOWTIMES Hartwig

PLOT: After receiving a bizarre series of encrypted messages, a group of kids embark on an adventure with an alien who needs their help.

RATED: PG for some action and peril and mild language TIME: 1 hour, 29 minutes VERDICT: The thing the filmmakers did really well was make a movie they probably wanted to see when they were kids. “Earth to Echo” is an offbeat, funny, slightly edgy science fiction offering that features unknown young actors playing 13-yearold kids who are making their own movie. The cool gimmick is that one of the kids has decided to record it all, installing constantly running video cameras everywhere from the handlebars on his bike to the frames of his glasses. That gimmick allows viewers to be one with the characters, and the filmmakers have lucked out by finding three newcomers who are so natural and relaxed as actors – everything they do, every word they say, feels real rather than scripted. The only misfire, other than the alien’s design, is the inclusion of a female character named Emma, whose presence, while adding to a couple of plot twists, breaks up the male bonding thing that makes the film so endearing. Fortunately nothing gets too much in the way of keeping things focused on the boys knowing this is their last adventure together. The humor of the film, along with its moments of absolute wonder (done on a remarkably good-looking shoestring budget), keep the inevitable ending from being too bittersweet. In fact, its end notes ring perfectly. It’s certainly a film I wish I saw when I was a kid.–

“DELIVER US FROM EVIL” STARRING: Eric Bana, Edgar Ramirez, Olivia Munn

PLOT: New York police officer Ralph Sarchie investigates a series of crimes. He joins forces with an unconventional priest, schooled in the rituals of exorcism, to combat the possessions that are terrorizing their city.

RATED: R for bloody violence, grisly images, terror throughout and language TIME: 1 hour, 58 minutes VERDICT: A serial-killer mystery in which the culprit turns out to be one of Satan’s minions, Scott Derrickson’s “Deliver Us From Evil” adapts the detective genre

to an exorcism tale that is very serious about the prospect of demonic possession. Though based on claims made by real-life NYPD officer-turned-paranormal investigator Ralph Sarchie (played here by Eric Bana), the picture is stolen by a fictional character – a composite religious figure played with a predictable level of smolder by “Carlos” star Edgar Ramirez.

That audience will find “Evil” very respectful of their faith, though its nods to religion are genre-appropriate and never preachy enough to alienate the average horror fan. While the supernatural side of the film suffers a flaw or two – continued references to The Doors are superfluous and sometimes chuckle-inducing – its central conflict works. – The Associated

“TAMMY” STARRING: Melissa McCarthy, Susan Sarandon, Kathy Bates

PLOT: After losing her job and learning that her husband has been unfaithful, a woman hits the road with her profane, hard-drinking grandmother.

RATED: R for language including sexual references TIME: 1 hour, 36 minutes VERDICT: Meet Tammy. Boy, is she a mess. Angry, profane and aggressive, then suddenly shy and sweet. Sometimes she’s funny, sometimes totally not. She can’t figure out what she wants to do or be, or where to go. And you thought we were talking about Tammy, the character – played by lovable Melissa McCarthy. Well, sure. But really we’re talking about “Tammy” the movie, about which all of the above descriptions are also true. Especially the “mess” part. Oy. Other recent comedies have been described as elongated “Saturday Night Live” skits, but it’s especially apt here, and not just because McCarthy and Falcone, who also directs, are veteran improv performers. Exaggerated characters, some wacky side plots, a couple of famous faces sprinkled in, and you’re off. Some of it’s good, some terrible, but you keep it all, ‘cause, hey, why not?

It’s a comedy sketch. Only this is a much anticipated, heavily promoted feature-length film, and as such, it can only be deemed an unfortunate, though ambitious and intermittently enjoyable, misfire for McCarthy.–
