Labor board denies city’s request Woodstock’s dispute with union over health benefits meeting could go to hearing By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The Illinois Labor Relations Board has denied Woodstock’s request to defer to arbitration a dispute with the union that represents public works employees.

Local 150’s original complaint alleges Schober held a meeting Nov. 8 to tell public works employees that their health insurance coverage was changing and that benefits would be reduced. Such a meeting would have

Woodstock’s response says the meeting was held by an employee, and that Schober “offered to assist.” The union is filing a separate grievance that states Woodstock violated the bargaining agreement by reducing public works employees’ benefits, Maher said. The employees were moved back to the previous plan after union representatives pointed out the contract stipulation, City Manager Roscoe Stelford has said.

LEADERSHIP OF GREATER McHENRY COUNTY

LEADING THE WAY

By ERICA WERNER and JIM KUHNHENN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama appealed to Congress on Tuesday for $3.7 billion in emergency spending to deal with the immigration crisis on the nation’s southern border, where unaccompanied children have been showing up by the thousands in a human drama that’s causing a political storm in Washington and beyond. Obama himself was flying to Texas on Wednesday, a trip designed mostly for political fundraising for Democrats but now including a meeting on immigration with Gov. Rick Perry and religious Barack Obama and local leaders in Dallas. He rejected pressure from the Republican governor to visit the border for a firsthand look. In Washington, Democrats and some Republicans on Capitol Hill seemed open to approving Harry Reid the emergency money, which would go toward hiring more immigration judges and asylum officers, building more detention facilities, boosting deterrence and enforcement and increasing surveillance along the border with Mexico. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the Senate would act on it this month. Obama said in a formal letter of request that the money was needed to “address this urgent humanitarian situation.” But Senate Democrats voiced skepticism about other changes the White House has said it wants that

Are seasonal allergies making you miserable? If you seem to be sneezing, sniffling and itching a lot this summer, you’re not alone. For those of us who are allergy sufferers, we know too well what you’re going through. But if the number of friends who have been asking me for advice is any indication, there may be a few more of you who are experiencing the “joy” of allergic rhinitis – aka “hay fever” – for the first time. Maybe that harsh winter we just endured has something to do with what we’re dealing with now. The onset of spring came fast and abundantly. That means a lot of plants and a lot of pollen, which is one of the main triggers for symptoms. Then came all the rain and humidity, setting off the growth of a number of molds, which are another trigger. So if you’re experiencing a stuffy nose, sneezing, an itchy nose, a runny nose or itching of the roof of the mouth or ears, you just might be

Joan Oliver allergic to something. And let’s not forget itchy and watery eyes as another symptom. A more serious condition – allergic asthma – is characterized by coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath or rapid breathing, chest tightness, and occasional fatigue and slight chest pain, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (www. aafa.org). One way to reduce symptoms is to avoid allergy triggers. But you have to know what sets you off in order to do that. So pay attention to your surroundings. Do you start sneezing when you pass someone mowing a lawn? Is it particularly bad when you go into an antiques shop or old house? Does

playing with the neighbor’s dog make you itchy? If you aren’t sure, an area allergist can conduct tests to tell you. I’m allergic to just about everything that can travel through the air. So I’m dealing with this year-round. My allergist has worked with me to get my allergies under control. And if you think you have asthma, it’s critical that you seek professional help. For mild symptoms, over-thecounter medications can offer some relief. Just know that not everything works for every individual. There might be a period of trial and error. For you newbies, here are a few tips to reduce your symptoms, courtesy of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (www.aaaai.org). • Keep windows closed at night and, if possible, use air conditioning, which cleans, cools and dries the air. • Try to stay indoors when pollen or mold counts are high. When you

come in from outdoors, take a shower, shampoo your hair and change clothes. • Avoid being responsible for mowing lawns or raking leaves. Also avoid hanging sheets or clothes outside to dry. • When traveling in a vehicle, keep the windows closed. • Take any medications as prescribed. Of course, this list is far from comprehensive; it’s meant to be a starting point. If you know someone with allergies, no doubt they’ll be happy to add a few more tips to the list. The club of allergy sufferers is one that’s no fun to join. Here’s hoping you find some relief.

LOCAL BRIEFS Drivers escape injury in three-vehicle crash CRYSTAL LAKE – All three drivers said they were uninjured after a multi-vehicle accident Tuesday in Crystal Lake. The crash, involving three vehicles, occurred at the intersection of Route 14 and Liberty Road around 12:20 p.m., Crystal Lake driver Mary Burton said. “I slowed down for traffic and stopped, then ‘boom,’ ” Burton said at the scene. “I got hit from behind.” Brooke Beckman, 19, of Woodstock was driving behind Burton on Route 14. She was with a friend, coincidentally headed toward Crystal Lake Nissan to look for a new car, before feeling a bump from behind and then one at the front of her car. The third vehicle, a white van driven by Nick Begrowicz of McHenry, was towed from the scene. Begrowicz said the extent of the damage had yet to be determined, but it didn’t look good. “It’s an old van, so I doubt they’ll fix it,” he said. The officer on scene from the Crystal Lake Police Department declined to comment.

Cary considers helping brewers make improvements to downtown building By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com CARY – Two beer brewers are hoping to buy the Cary Public House at 208 W. Main St. in order to open a pub and restaurant called the Cary Ale House and Brewing Company. To purchase the property and make improvements, brewers Chris Panagakis and Dustin Davies plan to spend about $200,000. And to help with the project,

the Village Board is expected to consider approval of a facade grant of up to $10,000 in 30 to 60 days, said Village Administrator Chris Clark. The planned improvements by Panagakis and Davies include enhancements to the kitchen, new furniture, fixtures and putting in a small microbrewery in the lower level of the space. There also would be new restaurant equipment, improved lighting, a new bar top and a refinished floor,

among other things. Panagakis has home-brewing experience, and Davies has commercial brewing experience. Panagakis said during a recent village meeting that he and Davies hope to revamp the kitchen and bring in high-quality food. “It’s a great space, it works, but it’s not the most attractive piece of property in the neighborhood,” Panagakis said. “We’re hoping to help that out.”

They also plan to remodel the exterior with a new awning, a sign, windows and lighting, and make parking lot and landscaping improvements. The exterior improvements are estimated to cost $57,250, when including the parking lot work. “We believe that our improvements will help the village of Cary in its desire to beautify the downtown area and increase local commerce,”

See CARY, page A5

What’s next? In order for the proposed facade grant to move forward, village staff have to prepare an incentive agreement, which would have to be approved by the Village Board. The Cary Ale House and Brewing Company also needs to finalize its project plan and obtain three bids for the work.

Suspicious Cary fire under investigation Chief: No need for neighbors to worry By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com CARY – As investigators look into a suspicious fire in Cary that occurred over the weekend, authorities say residents in the area of Hillcrest Road shouldn’t be worried. “It’s under investigation. The neighbors shouldn’t have any concerns,” Cary Fire Protection District Chief Jeff Macko said Tuesday, three days after the fire at 6303 Hillcrest Road in unincorporated

Cary. “We don’t have an arsonist running loose in our neighborhood.” Macko stopped short of elaborating on how officials determined the fire “suspicious and intentionally set.” Officials haven’t released the name of the 58-year-old man who was home when the fire began at 3:35 a.m. Saturday. He was the only person injured and was taken in fair condition to Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington. Macko said the man was speaking and conscious at the time of his transport. Efforts to extinguish the blaze were hampered by what

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – When resentencing a Harvard man to prison time, a McHenry County judge said he previously gave the defendant every possible lifeline to stay sober. Jason A. Bowling, 33, of Harvard, was given 26 months in prison, despite his defense attorney’s argument that in-patient substance abuse treatment was the best option. Bowling previously was sentenced to 180 days in McHenry County Jail and intensive probation on an aggravated DUI charge. In that instance, he was found to have a blood-alcohol content

of 0.228 and was driving a motorcycle with his child on the back, prosecutors said. Jason A. While out Bowling on bond on the McHenry County charge, Bowling was charged in Walworth County, Wisconsin, with another DUI – again with his child in the car. Since being sentenced, Bowling told probation officers that he used drugs and tested positive for alcohol. Assistant State’s Attorney David Metnick asked that the judge resentence Bowling

LOCAL BRIEF Bull Valley police warn of ‘Green Dot’ scam BULL VALLEY – Police are warning against a “Green Dot” scam that a Bull Valley resident was targeted with this week. A caller told the resident she had won $1 million and a Mercedes-Benz and instructed her to buy a $300 Green Dot prepaid card and call a number for further instructions, according to a news release from the Bull Valley Police Department. The name on the caller ID read “J.M. Kingston,” and the woman was instructed to call 323-3253940. She reported the call to the police. The scam has occurred throughout the country, although variables like the alleged prize sometimes change, the release said. Bull Valley police urge residents to be careful when any unknown callers are requesting money in any fashion.

The organization continues to grow every year with a record 54 applicants vying for 32 spots in the Class of 2015 set to start in the fall. Piekos said the growth in popularity comes from word-of-mouth through alumni that tell other co-workers about the valuable experience. That was the case with Ryan Whiting of Georgio’s Chicago Pizzeria & Pub who said he was inspired to join after the owner of Georgio’s went through it last year. Even after just sitting through orientation, Whiting said he was amazed to see how many opportunities there are to get involved in McHenry County. The mandatory eight-hour meeting session each month is a small commitment to make to discover new ways to connect and give back, Whiting said. “I’ve always been interested in community service but didn’t know a lot about boards and groups in the area,” Whiting said. “There are so, so many ways to get involved. I’m excited to be involved with it.”

• CELEBRATION Continued from page A1 one-year programs that offer leadership training and information about how to get involved in area nonprofits. The group now has an alumni network of 314 members. Piekos said there are hundreds of similar organizations throughout the country and it was one in Syracuse, New York, that led to the start of McHenry County’s chapter. She said Centegra Health System CEO Mike Easley went through the program and was inspired to gather community leaders to start a local program. Influenced by her service on the Woodstock School District 200 Board, Piekos went through the program before taking over as executive director. “I’ve always had a passion for community leadership and the program helped me grow in so many ways,” Piekos said. “It is amazing what people accomplish by going through this.” Alumni have started veteran services, nonprofits and fill needs on local community boards.

something more done to the building.” Rick Dudek Cary trustee would then be reimbursed up to $10,000. The village doesn’t have a dedicated facade grant program, but its Economic Development Plan and Policy

allows the Village Board to consider economic incentives on a case-by-case basis, according to a village memo written by Chris Stilling, director of community and economic development. About $100,000 has been set aside in the village’s fiscal 2015 capital projects fund budget for economic incentives. Typically facade grants are matching dollars and usually a 50-50 split for eligible expenses, Stilling wrote.

Trustee Rick Dudek said he would like to see more money go into the actual facade. “This building is an eyesore, so I’d like to see something more done to the building,” Dudek said. However, he is supportive of the new business. “We need something downtown to compete with the Tracks,” Dudek said. “I would love to see [the] place go hog wild.”

“This is not about how many breaks a person has gotten prior to today, it’s about what makes the most sense,” Hansen said. “What makes the most sense in this case is in-patient treatment.” Judge Gordon Graham noted that Bowling previous-

25Massage WEEK Study

Immigrant families and children’s advocates rally Monday outside the Los Angeles Federal Building in response to President Barack Obama’s statement on the crisis of unaccompanied children and families illegally entering the United States.

Durbin: ‘Everybody’s very concerned’ Capitol Hill after a weeklong July 4 recess and suggested political struggles ahead over the unfolding situation at the border. More than 50,000 young people have showed up unaccompanied since last fall, many fleeing oppressive violence in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, but also drawn by rumors that once in the U.S. they would be allowed to stay. Lawmakers are now beginning to confront the full dimensions of the crisis, and their responsibility to act, with midterm elections around the corner. It all comes with comprehensive immigration legislation dead in Congress for the year and Obama preparing to take steps by his executive authority to change the nation’s faulty immigration system where he can – plans that could be complicated by the border crisis. Cornyn and other Republicans kept up their criticism of Obama’s decision not to include a border visit in his Texas trip, but the White House held firm, instead adding the meeting on immigration to Obama’s schedule in Dallas. Perry announced plans to attend. As for the spending request, some Republicans said they would have to review the details. “We’re going to take a look at it. This is clearly a huge crisis,” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

• CONGRESS Continued from page A1 would send the minors back to Central America more quickly, partly by limiting their existing rights to court hearings. Those proposals, which are not part of Tuesday’s request, have infuriated immigrant advocates who say they would result in harsher treatment of kids and eliminate their legal protections. “Everybody’s very concerned. I’m one of them,” said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill. “I just want to make sure that at the end of the day we’re being fair, humane and doing this in an orderly way.” At the same time Republicans criticized Obama for stepping back from asking for those legal changes, which the White House initially had said would come in concert with the emergency spending request. The White House now says those proposals will come later. “He just decided not to do that because of the pushback he got from some in his own political base,” said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas. “We need to solve the problem, but you don’t need to just ignore the cause of the current crisis. And that requires more than just appropriating $3.7 billion for additional judges and the like.” The back-and-forth came as lawmakers reconvened on

A coyote is spotted in the parking lot just below Hickory Knolls Discovery Center in the James O. Breen Community Park in St. Charles.

On alert for coyotes Experts differ on solutions for dealing with animals

Kayla Block Geneva resident Aldermen instructed staff to research the topic and return to a future committee of the whole meeting for consideration. Urban areas are increasingly having reports of larger predators, such as a wandering black bear seen in northwest Illinois, including Rockford and Mount Morris. Jack Althoff of Geneva reported seeing a gray wolf July 1 at Fabyan Parkway and Route 31. “It was not a coyote or a large German shepherd,” Althoff said. “It was too big, and the way it ran was nothing like a dog. I’ve seen them four or five times before in Wisconsin and a couple of times in Canada. The size and height is usually what tips them. It was very wide and tall.” While there have been no other reports of aggressive coyotes locally – such as in Sugar Grove, North Aurora or St. Charles – other urban and suburban communities have dealt with them, said wildlife specialist professor Robert Timm, recently retired from the University of California Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources. “We did see a remarkable change in behavior within coyote communities,” Timm said. “But once the problem animals were removed by trapping, in many cases, the remaining coyotes were less aggressive and more wary.” Timm said researchers do not know what causes the shift in coyote behavior – as coyotes normally are elusive and afraid of people. “The process of habituation

to people could be associating them with food or safety,” Timm said. “People might be intentionally or unintentionally feeding them.” Timm said coyotes are opportunists and adapt their diet and behavior to whatever exists in their environment. “The increased aggression problem seems to have been reported in suburban areas throughout the country,” Timm said. “We don’t have good behavioral studies to understand that social dynamic.” But what can be done about aggressive coyotes? Officials said police do not respond to coyote complaints and neither does Kane County Animal Control – unless the complaints involve actual attacks or rabies – because they are not trained. Timm agreed with a solution proposed to Geneva officials by coyote trapper Rob Erickson of DeKalb – and that is to remove the problem of dominant coyotes and euthanize them. “The only appropriate solution for dealing with an aggressive coyote is to remove it, for the safety of pets and people, especially children,” Timm said. “Removal is almost always going to be lethal because you can’t transplant it somewhere else. We don’t know any method of reversing their behavior when coyotes are fearless of humans.” But Lynsey White Dasher, director of Humane Wildlife Conflict Resolution for the Humane Society of the United States, disagrees. She said the organization performs training sessions so people can do “hazing” effectively without resorting to trapping and euthanizing problem coyotes. Hazing means to yell or make noise by banging on pots and pans. “To say the only way to deal with problem coyotes is to kill them is not what we have experienced,” Dasher said of Erickson and Timm’s recommendations. “We have definitely found problem coyotes – that have attacked pets and stalked people – will stop their behavior through hazing. And they also teach [it] to their pups and the rest of the family group. We have found great success doing that.”

adno=0288801

Kayla Block stood in front of the Geneva Committee of the Whole recently and told of her fears regarding aggressive coyotes in the Fisher Farms and Westhaven subdivisions. “My neighbor on two occasions this spring has been approached by coyotes while walking his dog,” Block said. “The first time, they were aggressively trying to get his dog while he held it and yelled and kicked at them.” Block said her dog was attacked by two coyotes in January. The dog survived, but she spent thousands of dollars on vet bills. “I do not let my children ... walk the dog because of the coyotes,” Block said. For years, the city’s stance – as recommended by wildlife experts – was for its citizens to coexist with coyotes. People are told not to feed them, to lock up their garbage, not to let their dogs out alone, according to the city’s website. And if approached by a coyote, instructions on the city’s website state, “Do not run away. Instead, yell, wave your arms, and/or throw an object at the animal.” But Block and others told aldermen this approach does not work on coyotes that are no longer afraid of people. A neighbor, Brian Darnell, told aldermen of being stalked by two coyotes trying to get his dog, and Block urged them to do something more about the situation. “It is time to revisit the topic,” Block said. Second Ward Alderman Don Cummings said there seems to be a difference between rural and urban coyotes in terms of how many more urban coyotes are aggressive and unafraid of people. “These ought to be almost two different animals, the rural coyote and urban coyotes,” Cummings said. “We really need to set aside the rural coyotes, which don’t attack people as often, and look at the urban coyotes. ... They will attack people and are not afraid of people. It’s almost a different animal.”

“My neighbor on two occasions this spring has been approached by coyotes while walking his dog. The first time, they were aggressively trying to get his dog while he held it and yelled and kicked at them.

SKETCH VIEW

‘Al the Pal’ will be missed What did former U.S. Sen. Alan J. Dixon, who died Sunday at the age of 86, do for you? For starters, open your purse or wallet and take a good look at your driver’s license. Before Dixon was Illinois secretary of state from 1977 to 1981, licenses consisted of words on flimsy pieces of paper. Upon taking office, Dixon declared, “I’m going to put a picture on your driver’s license so you’ll have an identification card,” he said in a 2011 interview with Sauk Valley Media. For the record “I’m going to issue another I.D. Our condolences to the famcard for non-drivily of former Democratic U.S. ers,” he continued. Sen. Alan J. Dixon, who died Dixon also established a person- Sunday. nel code to protect the office’s 3,000-plus employees. Further, “I eliminated the chop shops,” he said. And probably most important, for Illinoisans tired of changing their vehicle license plates once a year during cold weather, Dixon launched multiyear plates so the only annual change necessary was affixing a new license sticker. Accolades for Dixon, a Democrat from Belleville, have mentioned his friendliness (“Al the Pal” was his nickname), his ability to work with Democrats and Republicans, and his firm desire to get things done for the people of Illinois. He drew praise from Sen. Dick Durbin, a Democrat (“I lost a pal today, and Illinois lost a man who brought honor to public service”) and Sen. Mark Kirk, a Republican (“We owe Alan a debt of gratitude for all he did for our state”). Dixon mentioned his philosophy in a memoir, “The Gentleman from Illinois,” published last year: “Generally speaking, my political career was built on goodwill and accommodation.” His career in elective office was long: police magistrate, Illinois House, Illinois Senate, state treasurer, secretary of state, and U.S. Senate, where he served from 1981 to 1993. Dixon lost his 1992 bid for re-election in a three-way Democratic primary. His vote in favor of the 1991 confirmation of President George H.W. Bush’s nomination of Clarence Thomas to the U.S. Supreme Court probably contributed to his defeat. He continued to serve the country into the mid-1990s as the appointed chairman of the Defense Base Realignment and Closure Commission. In that role, he is credited with preserving Scott Air Force Base. Democrat, Republican or independent, Illinoisans should honor the life and career of Alan Dixon. We join them in offering our condolences to his family.

Building confidence One of the most difficult jobs a parent has is striking a balance between allowing kids to be kids and making sure they are prepared for each stage of adolescence. The challenge is made even greater when the child craves the approval and admiration of peers. As a study released last month in the journal Child Development makes clear, the popularity issue is something every parent needs to address. Joseph P. Allen, a psychology professor at the University of Virginia and the lead author of the study, tracked 184 young people from age 13 to 23 to explore the long-term effects of what he calls pseudomature behavior. Specifically, Allen wanted to know whether popularity-seeking behavior among seventh- and eighth-graders – such as mild delinquency, intense romantic relationships, choosing friends based on attractiveness and hanging out with an older crowd – stunted or accelerated social development. What the study found was that “early adolescent pseudomature behavior predicted long-term difficulties in close relationships, as well as significant problems with alcohol and substance use, and elevated levels of criminal behavior.” Allen also found the behavior that makes a student popular in middle school is unlikely to make him or her popular in high school and early adulthood. This change in stature requires the teenager to adopt more extreme behavior to impress peers, who by that time in their own development are less likely to find such actions attractive. Unfortunately, the study doesn’t provide advice on how parents can help their children understand that the quest for popularity won’t lead to happiness and fulfillment. The study’s findings should, on the other hand, make the parents of popular or precocious middle schoolers ask themselves how their children gained and maintain such status, and whether they may pay a price farther down the road. The main thing everybody should take away from Allen’s investigation is timeless: The only lasting form of popularity is based on confidence, benevolence and individuality. Those are the qualities people yearn for in themselves and are attracted to in others. For parents, the goal isn’t to convince their child that popularity isn’t important but to make them believe it with all their heart. The Concord (N.H.) Monitor

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

IT’S YOUR WRITE Science vs. wishful thinking To the Editor: The U.S. House of Representatives, including Rep. Randy Hultgren, voted to deny climate change and prevent our U.S. Defense Department from using funds to address national security impacts of climate change by passing an amendment to the Defense Department budget. The National Climate Assessment, made up of 300 leading climate scientists and experts, say that time is running out to confront the dangerous impacts of climate change. Last month, 16 military experts say that climate change already is threatening national security and the economy. Rising sea levels are impacting naval bases. Droughts lead to conflicts about food and water (think Syria). The Department of Defense also is cutting its reliance on carbonheavy fuels. Our military is the largest single user of oil in the U.S., so transitioning to renewable, efficient energy improves costs and flexibility. Will Congress try to stop this as well? Please Google this for more information. Deb Martin McHenry

VA does fine job To the Editor: My heart saddens after reading

negative media reports about Veterans Administration hospitals and their ineffective care to veterans. I have had nothing but a positive experience. My husband is a veteran who has received treatment from VA hospitals dating back 20 years. Currently, he is undergoing treatment at the VA hospitals in North Chicago and Milwaukee. I just wanted to take a moment to commend the medical personnel at the VA hospitals for their service. From every phone call to complex treatment, he has received efficient and exceptional care. I just wanted the public to know that the VA does do its job. Alice Hellgeth Crystal Lake

Thanks for ALS support To the Editor: Most people live their lives in harmony, but for the thousands of people in the U.S. who are living with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, the body breaks down, one part at a time. The breakdown often begins with the extremities. Next, a person with ALS may lose his voice, and as time goes on, breathing becomes compromised. Perhaps worst of all, in most cases, the brain is not affected. And because there is no cure, ALS is fatal.

At the Les Turner ALS Foundation, we are dedicated to treating and eliminating ALS through research, patient services, education and advocacy. During National ALS Awareness Month in May, the Les Turner ALS Foundation put the spotlight on ALS through CTA advertisements, radio spots, a blue city skyline, and hundreds of volunteers collected donations as part of our annual Tag Days drives. The Tag Days drives throughout Chicago and the suburbs raised more than $60,000. We thank the captains for their efforts and appreciate the people who supported the cause. Founded in 1977, the Foundation serves more than 90 percent of the ALS population in the Chicago region and is affiliated with Northwestern Medicine, where it funds both a clinical care program and two scientific research laboratories. It offers a range of patient services, such as support group

WWII soldier’s story lives on in book, film Prior to Memorial Day, 2011, Louis Zamperini visited Washington, D.C., where I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing him. The man was as sharp as the proverbial tack. He inscribed Laura Hillenbrand’s bestselling biography, “Unbroken,” to me with “Be Hardy.” And he was. Zamperini died last week at the age of 97. Below is the column I wrote about him and what he stood for. The film of the book, directed by Angelina Jolie, will be released in December. ••• Perhaps you’ve heard of him, perhaps not. Louis Zamperini has had fame, lost it and seen it restored more than once. That happens when you are 94 years old and must be re-introduced to succeeding generations. Zamperini was a juvenile delinquent, then an Olympic distance runner who competed in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Germany (he met Adolf Hitler and his chief propagandist, Joseph Goebbels), then an Army Air Corps enlistee. Louis crashed in the Pacific after a rescue plane developed engine trouble. He floated for 47 days on a raft before being picked up by a Japanese warship. He and his surviving buddies were taken to a prison camp where they lived in subhuman conditions, suffering unimaginable physical and mental torture. Louis’ incredible story of “survival, resilience, and redemption” has been brilliantly told in Laura Hillenbrand’s latest book,

VIEWS Cal Thomas “Unbroken.” I read all 398 pages in two sittings. For myself, the son of a World War II veteran, whose four uncles also served, it is another of those “greatest generation” books popularized by Tom Brokaw. Reading it reinforces one’s pride in being an American and deepens the appreciation one feels for those who gave their lives so that we could live ours. On a recent visit to Washington, I asked Louis if he was able to call up vivid memories of his friends who died in the plane crash and the ones who subsequently died in the prison camp. He told me, “The memories never fade. It’s like indelible ink. When you go through an intense period like we did, it’s branded on your heart and mind.” When he thinks about those who died and those with whom he served, does Memorial Day make his memories even more vivid? “You have buddies in college, buddies on the Olympic team, but there’s something about combat buddies that it’s hard to explain.” He can never forget and he doesn’t want to. Louis says he recently read about “a kid who came back from Afghanistan about three months ago. They fixed his leg up and told him, ‘Well, you can get out of the service

now’ and he told them, ‘no, I want to go back to Afghanistan to be with my buddies.’ That’s the way it is in war. It’s altogether different from athletics and close friends. My buddies were a pilot, co-pilot and navigator.” I asked Laura Hillenbrand about this much-chronicled generation. What does she think shaped it? “What struck me about these people,” she begins, “is they had all gone through the Depression ... and while that was very difficult, it was like they were being forged in fire. I think the men and women who came out of the Depression were made of sterner stuff than people are today. And it made them capable of getting through what they had to get through in the war. It gave them a sense of purpose; it gave them fortitude; it gave them an ability to endure. I think that may be the biggest difference between that generation and now. We have had it easier. We have expectations we will be given certain things and things will come without sacrifice. That generation didn’t have that.” “Unbroken” has spent 10 weeks at No. 1 (as of July 2014, it has spent 158 weeks on the list) and currently is No. 7 on the New York Times Best Sellers List (today, it’s a No. 5). It deserves to be in every American home and Louis’ story should be in every American heart.

month extension of the April 15 filing deadline and would make his 2013 returns public before the election. He said Quinn was trying to distract voters from the Chicago Democrat’s push to extend the state’s temporary income tax increase. “Bruce already pro-actively released three years of his state and federal tax returns,” Schrimpf said. “This is nothing but a political stunt.” When and if candidates release tax returns has long cropped up in gubernatorial races. GOP and Democratic nominees have often made them available, at times without fanfare and some not until weeks before the election.

Dundee

CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn called on Republican challenger Bruce Rauner to release complete income tax returns, saying Tuesday that the documents could reveal potential conflicts of interest or tax loopholes ahead of November. Top Democrats supporting Quinn have been raising questions about what’s contained in years of returns detailing the multimillionaire venture capitalist’s income and investments. They’ve deemed it a matter of transparency. But Rauner’s campaign called it a “political stunt” distracting from other issues and con-

they don’t contain detailed schedules, which offer more information about Rauner’s business dealings and how he made his wealth. “We don’t need a loophole governor,” Quinn said at a Chicago plumbers’ hall. “The schedules tell the tale. All the detail is needed to determine if there are conflicts of interest and what loopholes are being used by Mr. Rauner to slash his tax burden and shift that burden onto working people.” Quinn said Rauner should act quickly with voters being able to apply for absentee ballots in September. Rauner’s spokesman Mike Schrimpf said the Winnetka businessman filed for a six-

Aging nuclear missiles a concern

Illinois retired workers wait after high court win SPRINGFIELD – Retired state workers aren’t seeing any immediate advantage from an Illinois Supreme Court ruling last week in their favor. The court found that health insurance coverage is a constitutionally protected retirement benefit. Attorney Donald Craven told the Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises the case is “clearly not over yet.” The Springfield attorney represents a group of state workers. The high court is sending the case back to Sangamon County Circuit Court where a judge will decide how to rule in light of the opinion. Retirees are challenging a 2012 law allowing the state to collect money from retirees for their state-subsidized health care.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS MINOT AIR FORCE BASE, N.D. – The Air Force asserts with pride that the nation’s nuclear missile system, more than 40 years old and designed during the Cold War to counter the now-defunct Soviet Union, is safe and secure. None has ever been used in combat or launched accidentally. But it also admits to fraying at the edges: time-worn command posts, corroded launch silos, failing support equipment and an emergency-response helicopter fleet so antiquated that a replacement was deemed “critical” years ago. The Minuteman is no or-

dinary weapon. The business end of the missile can deliver mass destruction across the globe as quickly as you could have a pizza delivered to your doorstep. But even as the Minuteman has been updated over the years and remains ready for launch on short notice, the items that support it have grown old. That partly explains why missile corps morale has sagged and discipline has sometimes faltered, as revealed in a series of Associated Press reports documenting leadership, training, disciplinary and other problems in the ICBM force that has prompted worry at the highest levels of the Pentagon. The airmen who oper-

ate, maintain and guard the Minuteman force at bases in North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming came to recognize a gap between the Air Force’s claim that the nuclear mission is “Job 1” and its willingness to invest in it. “One of the reasons for the low morale is that the nuclear forces feel unimportant, and they are often treated as such, very openly,” says Michelle Spencer, a defense consultant in Alabama who led a nuclear forces study for the Air Force published in 2012. She said in an interview the airmen – they’re called Missileers – became disillusioned by an obvious but unacknowledged lack of interest in nuclear priorities among the most senior

Air Force leaders. Spencer’s study found that Air Force leaders were “cynical about the nuclear mission, its future and its true – versus publicly stated – priority to the Air Force.” Several key leadership posts have since changed hands, and while Spencer says she sees important improvements, she’s worried about the Air Force’s commitment to getting the nuclear forces what they need. This is no surprise to those responsible for nuclear weapons policy. An independent advisory group, in a report to the Pentagon last year, minced no words. It said the Air Force must show a “believable commitment” to modernizing the force.

“If the practice continues to be to demand that the troops compensate for manpower and skill shortfalls, operate in inferior facilities and perform with failing support equipment, there is high risk of failure” to meet the demands of the mission, it said. Robert Goldich, a former defense analyst at the Congressional Research Service, said the ICBM force for years got “the short end of the stick” on personnel and resources. “I honestly don’t think it’s much more complicated than that,” he said. “When that happened, people lost sight of how incredibly rigorous you’ve got to be to ensure quality control when nuclear weapons are involved.”

Illinois woman seeks clemency in buried-alive case

Mississippi River rising, but break in sight ST. LOUIS – The Mississippi River is continuing its slow rise at several Missouri and Illinois towns, but there is reason for optimism after overnight rainfall wasn’t as bad as predicted. Spurred by heavy recent rains to the north, the Mississippi rose sharply over the past two weeks, reaching major flood levels from central Iowa south to near St. Louis. Storms brought strong winds, hail and still more rain to northern Missouri and western Illinois Monday night and Tuesday morning. But rainfall amounts were generally less than 2 inches. National Weather Service meteorologist Jayson Gosselin said that means the river level shouldn’t go up much, if at all.

8 leaks in Springfield’s Executive Mansion roof

Body pulled from Lake Michigan identified CHICAGO – Authorities said an Arlington Heights woman’s body was pulled from Lake Michigan near downtown Chicago about a month after a boating accident. Local media reported Tuesday that the Cook County medical examiner identified the body pulled from the lake on June 28 as 27-year-old Megan Blenner. The medical examiner said Blenner drowned after a May 31 boating accident that left one other person dead. Another man was pulled from the water alive and a fourth person remains missing.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – Workers have started patching eight leaks in the roof at the nearly 160-year-old Executive Mansion after Gov. Pat Quinn approved the emergency repairs. The amount of money spent on the repairs won’t exceed $40,000 and will cover inspectors, patching damaged sections and repairing damage to interior rooms. That damage is to four rooms on the mansion’s third floor. Officials expect work to be done

in a few weeks. “It’s a careful balancing act of preserving the historic character of the building, keeping it available to the public and keeping it open for rentals, which support the operation of the building,” Quinn spokesman Dave Blanchette told The (Springfield) State Journal-Register for a Tuesday story. Tarps cover the floor and furniture in the mansion’s Lincoln bedroom and plaster is visible with a bucket underneath to catch any falling debris, the newspaper report-

ed. State officials said the damage isn’t affecting public tours. “The public, when they tour the mansion, won’t know there’s anything amiss,” Blanchette said. Plans for a major rehabilitation of the mansion are on hold while more urgent financial issues are addressed, Blanchette said. That renovation would include brick work, trim repairs and a new elevator. Blanchette estimates those costs at a “couple million” dollars.

a r G d t en s e B HENRY CO

CHICAGO – Tearful relatives appealed for clemency Tuesday for an Illinois woman they say was wrongly convicted nearly three decades ago of taking part in a macabre kidnap-for-ransom plot in which a businessman was lured from his home and buried alive. Testifying before the Illinois Prisoner Review Board in Chicago, Nancy Rish’s supporters described her as a woman ensnared in an abusive relationship with the drug Nancy dealer who Rish concocted the 1987 kidnapping of Kankakee businessman Stephen Small. They said she knew nothing of her boyfriend’s plans even as he had her pick him up from the remote, wooded burial site and drive him between phone booths where he made ransom calls. “She doesn’t have it in her to do something so horrendous,” Rish’s sister Lori Guimond told the panel, dabbing her eyes with a tissue. Small was a member of a prominent media family from Kankakee, in eastern Illinois, and a great-grandson of Len Small, Illinois’ governor in

ALWAYS LOOKING AHEAD

Metabolic syndrome is a collection of risk factors that increase a person’s risk for cardiovascular disease. “It is important for people to learn about metabolic syndrome and how it puts them at high risk for heart attack and stroke,” said Dr. Daniela Huerta de Hathaway, an internal medicine physician with Centegra Physician Care. To be diagnosed with metabolic syndrome, a person must have three of the following conditions:

the 1920s. He was buried alive in a plywood box under several feet of sand and suffocated when a crudely fashioned breathing tube running to the surface failed before a ransom could be paid. Rish’s boyfriend, Daniel Edwards, told police after his arrest that he acted alone, but he did not say that at trial as he fought to avoid the death penalty. Now, having abandoned his own appeals, Edwards has provided two affidavits stating that he alone committed the crime and concealed his plans from Daniel Rish. Edwards A s s i s tant Illinois Attorney General Erin O’Connell told the review board the state still firmly believes Rish was a willing participant. “There’s been some suggestion that what happened to her was horrible, but let’s be more direct: Stephen Small was buried alive,” O’Connell said. “He was buried alive because Nancy Rish and Danny Edwards wanted to coerce $1 million from his family.” The panel could vote within weeks. If clemency is recommended, Gov. Pat Quinn would have no deadline for a decision.

When a person has metabolic syndrome, the body is stuck in a cycle of insulin resistance and weight gain. It is a process that is hard to break. First, obesity causes insulin resistance. Then, the body produces more insulin to break down carbohydrates. Since insulin is a fat storage hormone, it promotes the production of fat. This cycle continues to repeat itself.

“Many people with metabolic syndrome can remember a time when they rapidly put on 20 or 30 pounds in a year,” Huerta de Hathaway said. “Once a person has metabolic syndrome, it’s very difficult to lose the weight without seriously addressing his or her diet and cholesterol.”

Break the cycle It is important that doctors identify people who have metabolic syndrome so they can address their health conditions and lower their risks for heart attacks, stroke and diabetes. Huerta de Hathaway first helps patients understand weightloss options such as diet and exercise. She also treats high triglycerides with medication. “People who want to cure metabolic syndrome must be completely committed to changing their lifestyles,” Huerta de Hathaway said. “If they stick to it 100 percent, they will be thrilled with the health benefits.”

Sports Story Write a short story about something that happened in a game you played or watched. My sport is basketball. I started playing basketball when I was in 3rd grade. I was on the Pistons. I was with my brother and his friends, Oscar and Jose. We won our ﬁrst game. All of the parents were happy. Then I played another year. I was on the Denver Nuggets. We weren’t good at ﬁrst but we got better and better and in the end, we almost beat every team but we couldn’t beat the Clippers or the Jazz. Alexis, 4th grade My favorite sport is baseball. When we played one Tuesday night, we beat a team by 15 runs to 3. My friend hit a home run and I was on 2nd base. That was the best game ever. Steven, 2nd grade

One day, my family and I went to an A’s baseball game in Oakland. We ate brownies and drank soda. It was a really tight game and in the end, the other team won. But then, they had ﬁreworks and we were able to go on the ﬁeld to watch. It was one of the best nights of my life! Yanell, 4th grade The sport that I like is swimming. I’m not sure that swimming is a sport but I heard someone say that it is. So one time in a swimming class, we had to dive in the pool and swim to the other side. We did and I came in fourth place. I was a little upset, but my mom said I was amazing! Jimena, 3rd grade

My first year of soccer was really fun. I remember my first game. At first it was really hard, but then it got really fun and easy. Once, when playing another team, we beat them 10 to 3. The next game we won too. We were undefeated! When we went to the championship we lost, but the important thing is that we all enjoyed ourselves and had fun. Don’t you think? Hannah, 5th grade My first year of playing basketball was with Mr. Madison in 3rd grade. Our team received the basketball first. I made a few shots, and we got to have a break to get water. When the other team scored more points, my team got mad. But then we got pay back and in the end, we scored more points and we won. What a fun time! Melissa, 4th grade

I like to play soccer. In my very ﬁrst soccer game I was very nervous, but then I scored a goal! I was so happy. My mom was proud. We won the game by the score of 2 to 1, and after my mom took me to Starbucks. At the end of the season we were in ﬁrst place and our coach took us all out for pizza. I hope that next year I can try out for the select team because I want to be really good at soccer. I love soccer. Melina, 4th grade

Israel launches offensive At least 25 killed in aerial assault By JOSEF FEDERMAN and NAJIB JOBAIN The Associated Press

AP file photo

Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., is seen Jan. 31, 2013, on Capitol Hill in Washington. For the first time, President Barack Obama is inching directly into one of the highly competitive races that could determine whether Democrats maintain control of the Senate this fall.

Obama inches into competitive Colo. Senate race By JULIE PACE and NICHOLAS RICCARDI The Associated Press WASHINGTON – For the first time, President Barack Obama is inching into one of the highly competitive races that could determine whether Democrats maintain control of the Senate this fall. Obama’s trip to Colorado to raise money for Sen. Mark Udall underscores the political risks for vulnerable Democrats of being linked with the increasingly unpopular president. Obama will headline a high-dollar fundraiser for Udall in Denver on Wednesday, but the event is off-limits to news cameras. Udall’s office also said the senator will not attend an economic speech the president plans to deliver in Denver, ensuring there will be no photos of the two men together. Republicans quickly pounced on Udall’s plans, eager to link the incumbent to a president with sagging approval ratings, both nationally and in Colorado. “Sen. Udall’s message to the president is clear: Help me rake in campaign cash behind closed doors, keep the media from capturing photos of us together, and avoid real Coloradans at all costs,” said Alex Siciliano, a spokesman for Rep. Cory Gardner, Udall’s opponent in the November election. Udall is one of several Democratic senators at risk of losing their seat this fall, putting Senate control within GOP reach for the first time during Obama’s presidency. Losing control of the Senate would be devastating to Obama’s chances of passing any major legislation in his final two years in office, although his prospects may be little better if Democrats hang on to the Senate and Republicans maintain their majority in the House. While Obama has called keeping the Senate one of his top priorities, he is limited in how much direct involvement he can have in helping

“Sen. [Mark] Udall’s message to the president is clear: Help me rake in campaign cash behind closed doors, keep the media from capturing photos of us together, and avoid real Coloradans at all costs.” Alex Siciliano Spokesman for Rep. Cory Gardner, Udall’s opponent in the November election the most at-risk members of his party. Like Udall, most are from swing states or conservative-leaning states like Louisiana, Arkansas and North Carolina, where close ties with the president may be more of a hindrance than a help. So far, the vulnerable Senate Democrats has put some distance between Obama and their campaigns. But with Wednesday’s fundraiser, Udall is breaking the ice, albeit tepidly. Tickets to the lunch cost up to $15,000 a couple, with the money split between Udall’s campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. While Obama has attended numerous events for the DSCC, Wednesday’s event marks the first time he has appeared directly on behalf of an endangered Democrat. Some reporters will be in the room for Obama’s remarks, but no cameras are allowed and the journalists will be kicked out during the president’s question-and-answer session with donors. The arrangement is typical of most of Obama’s smaller sessions with donors. Udall consultant Mike Stratton said the campaign saw no reason to avoid a fundraiser with Obama. “If the president is in town, and the president wants to be helpful, why would anyone want to pass that up?” he said.

JERUSALEM – Israel on Tuesday launched its largest offensive in the Gaza Strip in nearly two years, carrying out a blistering aerial assault on scores of targets and killing 25 people in what officials called an open-ended operation aimed at ending weeks of heavy rocket fire. As Gaza militants unleashed salvos on cities, including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, Israel mobilized forces along the border for a possible ground invasion. The offensive set off the heaviest fighting between Israel and the Islamic militant group Hamas since an eightday battle in November 2012. The militants fired about 160 rockets at Israel, including a strike that reached the northern city of Hadera for the first time, while Israel said it attacked more than 150 sites across Gaza. Palestinian medics reported at least 25 dead, including six killed in an airstrike that flattened an apartment building in southern Gaza and set off widespread panic. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said continued rocket attacks on Israeli communities would not be tolerated. “Therefore I have ordered the military to significantly broaden its operation against Hamas terrorists and against the other terrorist groups in-

Israeli strikes on Gaza are seen Tuesday from the Israel-Gaza border. The Israeli military launched a major offensive in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, striking more than 100 sites and mobilizing troops for a possible ground invasion in what Israel says is an operation aimed at stopping a heavy barrage of rocket attacks from the Palestinian territory. side Gaza,” he said on national TV. “I call on you to display patience because this operation could take time.” Israel and Hamas are bitter enemies that have engaged in numerous rounds of fighting over the years. But until recently, they had been observing a truce that ended the previous hostilities in 2012. Tensions have been rising since Palestinian militants kidnapped three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank on June 12. Accusing Hamas of being behind the abductions, Israel launched a crackdown on the group’s members in the West Bank and arrested hundreds of people. Hamas, which controls Gaza, responded by

stepping up rocket fire. The situation deteriorated last week after the bodies of the Israeli youths were found, and a Palestinian teenager in Jerusalem was abducted and burned to death in what Palestinians believe was a revenge attack. Six Jewish Israelis have been arrested in the killing, and the rocket fire from Gaza has increased in recent days. The fighting raged throughout the day. In its fiercest attack, an airstrike flattened the home of a Hamas militant in the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis, reducing the concrete structure into a smoldering pile of rubble. Panicked residents fled,

shouting “God is great.” Some had bloody faces, and crying mothers held small children as they ran away. Screaming Palestinians took away motionless bodies. Palestinian medical officials said six people, including two children, were killed. Israel’s military said it had called the home shortly before the airstrike to warn civilians to leave, something it has done in past fighting as well. The normally bustling streets of Gaza City were deserted late Tuesday. Fearing an Israeli ground operation, many residents from areas near the border moved to stay with relatives living deeper inside Gaza.

Pharmacist charged in theft of 193K pills By JENNIFER PELTZ The Associated Press NEW YORK – A pharmacist who oversaw a major hospital’s vault of drugs stole nearly 200,000 powerful painkillers he was supposed to safeguard and dispense, narcotics prosecutors said Tuesday as they unveiled a case that makes unusual use of a state drug-kingpin law. For more than five years before his firing this spring, Anthony D’Alessandro exploited his access to the drug supply of what is now Mount Sinai Beth Israel hospital to grab oxycodone and other pills by the hundreds and then fudged

records to cover his tracks, city Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan’s office said. Prosecutors are still investigating what became of the drugs but believe the medications ended up on the thriving black market for prescription narcotics, where the more than 193,000 missing pills could fetch a total of about $5.6 million. The case is one of the most striking examples of a pharmacist being accused of becoming a drug thief, and it could be the first such use of a top-level New York drug trafficking law typically used against street dealers. It “underscores the vigilance required when

addictive medication with a high resale value is readily available – even to licensed professionals and trusted employees,” Brennan said. While prosecutors paint D’Alessandro as a drug lord with a professional license, his lawyer said D’Alessandro was just a druggist with a problem. “I was taking this drug for my own use,” to feed an addiction and treat ankle pain, D’Alessandro told a hospital investigator in an April 11 statement prosecutors filed in court. He disputes taking the quantity of pills he’s charged with diverting, attorney Joseph V. Sorrentino said, calling the trafficking charge “to-

tally inappropriate.” Prosecutors noted that D’Alessandro came out clean when drug-tested April 11, and they said the sheer size of the alleged theft belied his claim of taking the pills himself. If he had, “we’d be at his funeral, instead of his arraignment,” prosecutor Ryan Sakacz told a judge as D’Alessandro entered a not-guilty plea. D’Alessandro grabbed oxycodone and other drugs on nearly 220 different dates, even signing out 1,500 pills the day after hospital officials first approached him April 1 about the disappearing drugs, prosecutors said.

Ukraine takes aggressive stance toward separatists By YURAS KARMANAU and PETER LEONARD The Associated Press DONETSK, Ukraine – Ukraine’s government took an increasingly aggressive stance Tuesday toward the pro-Russia separatists, vowing to expunge them from their reduced area of control and imposing new conditions before peace talks can restart. But as the military moves to encircle the rebel-held territory in eastern Ukraine, the government also said it would stop using the air and artillery strikes that drove the rebels from other towns so as to avoid terrorizing civilians. Ukraine has displayed growing confidence in recent days after driving the insurgents from Slovyansk, a city that had been the heart of the armed resistance since midApril. Security officials said Tuesday the area held by the rebels has now been reduced by half. This apparent rout has forced hundreds of militants to regroup in Donetsk, the regional capital, where they occupy government buildings and move freely around the city. Andrei Purgin, deputy prime minister of the self-proclaimed independent Donetsk People’s Republic, said the rebels have an estimated 15,000 fighters and are focusing their efforts on defending Donetsk, a major industrial hub of 1 million. “We are creating one DPR fist that is ready to fight and repel the Ukrainian army,” Purgin told The Associated Press. He said his forces control all of Donetsk, where the normally busy streets were largely vacant but for groups of automatic rifle-toting rebels on patrol. “After Slovyansk we are gathering strength and resting. In Donetsk, we feel at home, and a home must be defended and protected,” said one 27-year-old rebel fighter, who gave his name only as

He was patrolling a central district along with seven other militia members. A major asset still under government control is the Donetsk Airport, the scene of a bloody clash in May that claimed the lives of dozens of insurgents. Purgin vowed that the rebels would soon take “all assets of interest, including the airport.” Donetsk Mayor Alexander Lukyanchenko, who has cautiously refrained from openly taking sides in the conflict, said he was assured by Ukraine’s president that the military will not launch air and artillery strikes on the city. Those strikes had hit Slovyansk and other rebel-held towns to vocal criticism from Russia, which accused the central government in Kiev of indiscriminately killing civilians. More than 400 people have died and tens of thousands have fled their homes during the nearly three-monthlong standoff between the rebels and the new government in Kiev, which came to power after the previous Russia-friendly president was ousted in February. National Security Council spokesman Andrei Lysenko said Tuesday that plans were being drawn up to recapture Donetsk, as well as another insurgent-held city, Luhansk,

Mexican army’s role in slayings questioned By MARK STEVENSON The Associated Press SAN PEDRO LIMON, Mexico – Bullet marks and blood spatters on the walls inside a grain storage warehouse deep in the mountains of southern Mexico tell a grim story of death involving soldiers and alleged criminals. It may not be the same story officials tell, however. Mexico’s Defense Department said soldiers were patrolling in one of the most violent, lawless corners of the country June 30 when they came under fire from a warehouse where a gang of 21 men and one woman were hiding. One soldier was wounded, but all of the suspects were killed. The shootout was the most dramatic in a string of battles in which the army said criminals fired first at soldiers who then killed them all, while suffering few or no losses. There have been so many such incidents that human rights groups and analysts have begun to doubt the military’s version. “It raises suspicion, the simple fact that there were 22 dead on one side and one wounded on the other side,” said security analyst Alejandro Hope, a former official in Mexico’s domestic intelligence service. In San Pedro Limon, pools of blood and bullet marks observed by Associated Press journalists three days after the shooting raise questions about whether all the suspects died in the gunbattle, or after it was over. The warehouse where many bodies were found showed little evidence of sustained fighting. One witness who lives near the warehouse said he heard almost two hours of automatic

gunfire and loud bangs during the pre-dawn hours of June 30. But he couldn’t say if it came from the warehouse or from the forested hillsides around it. The man, who did not want to be identified for fear of reprisals, said he saw soldiers searching the hillsides after the shooting stopped. Despite that heavy gunfire, only about six incoming rounds appeared to have hit the facade of the warehouse, the only part of the building with a window or door where soldiers likely would have been firing at people holed up inside. There also were no signs of continuous shooting inside the building, few bullet marks and no casings. But there was ample evidence of death. The floor was stained with pools of drying blood and scattered with pieces of numbered paper left by investigators to mark where cadavers were found. At least five spots along the warehouse’s inside walls showed the same pattern: One or two closely placed bullet pocks, surrounded by a mass of spattered blood, giving the appearance that some of those killed were standing against the wall and were hit by one or two shots at about chest level. The distance at which the fatal shots were fired has not been made public by the Mexico State prosecutor’s office, which is carrying out the autopsies. A state official said the office could not release the cause of death because it is a federal case, but a federal official denied that. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record. The Mexican Defense Department did not respond to requests for comment.

without the use of artillery or aviation. He said Monday that the military would create cordons around the two cities to try to cut off rebel supply lines.

BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil – Even for an 84-year-old tournament drenched in history, Germany 7, Brazil 1 – you read that right – will be remembered as one of the craziest World Cup matches ever. Because of the humiliation it inflicted on a great footballing nation, as one of the most painful to watch, too. Brazil, the once mighty Brazil, the Brazil that gave the world Pele, so many other great players and yellow-shirted delight, throwing itself like a herd of lemmings off a cliff. Not just a team self-destructing, but an entire nation’s hopes and World Cup joy turning to vinegar and flushing down the drain on live TV before millions of disbelieving eyes around the globe. “We realized that they were cracking up and took advantage of it,” Germany coach Joachim Loew said. Even the halftime score – Germany 5, Brazil 0 – was something no sports writer ever expects to have to record for posterity. No nation has ever done anything like this to Brazil, not once in all the decades that Brazilians have played and refined football, making it futebol and making it better. Germany’s goals rained in so thick and fast it became a struggle to keep up. The second and then, a minute later, the third goal had the effect of a stungun on Brazil. Its players were laboring under such pressure to win their home World Cup. And when it became clear in that minute that they would fail, that pressure became like poison on their brains and legs. They became like ghosts. In the next five minutes, they let in two more. For Germany, it was like shooting fish in a barrel. No shot could miss. Everything worked. With Brazil gone AWOL, they

BEARS POSITION BREAKDOWN: RUNNING BACK

Hoping someone can reduce Forte’s workload By ARTHUR ARKUSH aarkush@chicagofootball.com This is the second in a series of Bears position breakdowns by the Chicago Football staff leading up to the start of training camp July 25 in Bourbonnais. For more Bears and NFL news, visit ChicagoFootball.com. Today: Running backs Matt Forte Overview: M a t t Forte in 2013 proved he was the perfect back for Marc Trestman’s offense, accounting for almost one-third of the team’s 6,109 total yards and carrying the ball at least 20 times in all eight of its victories in his best season to date. Trestman’s QB-friendly system and a pair

of supersized receivers grabbed many of the headlines on offense, but Forte was the unit’s tone setter and arguably most valuable player. The Bears figure to have at least one new face alongside Forte in the running back room, fourth-rounder Ka’Deem Carey, the first back drafted by the Bears since Forte, in 2008. Along with incumbent Michael Ford, three players – journeyman Shaun Draughn and a pair of undrafted rookies, Jordan Lynch and Senorise Perry – will battle for one additional backfield vacancy. After signing a two-year deal in

December, fullback Tony Fiammetta is likely in the club’s 2014 plans. He was used sparingly in his first season – about 20 percent of the team’s snaps – but Fiammetta is a tough blocker who can function as an occasional security valve as a receiver. Unlike last summer when Harvey Unga was in camp, Fiammetta is the only fullback – although one can never truly rule out Unga’s return to Bourbonnais. Position battle: The Bears would love a back to prove he’s capable of lightening the load of Forte, who has racked up a lot of mileage in his first six seasons. That was the plan with Michael Bush last year, but the veteran’s play fell off precipitously in his second season. The most important criteria the Bears will be evaluating in Bourbonnais is dependability in the passing game. It’s an area that has become almost impossible to gauge

in the offseason because of a lack of hitting, forcing coaches to evaluate technique and fundamentals in May and June before trying to measure players’ willingness and physicality as blockers in July and August. Outside of Forte, only Draughn has been asked to block and catch at this level. Despite Bush’s struggles, Ford couldn’t get on the field, largely because he couldn’t be counted on in those areas. The good news for all of the candidates in the backup battle is that the Bears aren’t afraid to throw a young guy whom they trust into the fire. The key is developing that trust. Carey impressed this offseason with his ability to get north and south quickly. Ford, in addition to holding a slight advantage because of his knowledge of the offense, is also in the

Chicago won’t host 2017 America’s Cup

Dutch emerge as capable villains

SAN DIEGO – The Windy City got the heave-ho in the race to host the 2017 America’s Cup. Sailing’s marquee regatta is either headed back to San Diego or will be held on the northern tip of the Bermuda Triangle. Russell Coutts, CEO of defending champion Oracle Team USA, said it was a tough decision to eliminate Chicago. Despite Chicago’s nickname, “the variability of the wind was quite a major uncertainty for us,” Coutts told The Associated Press by phone Tuesday from his home in New Zealand.

Defense ends its case in Pistorius murder trial JOHANNESBURG – The murder trial of Oscar Pistorius moved closer to a verdict Tuesday when the defense ended its case. In early August the judge will hear final arguments that will highlight opposing portraits of the Paralympic athlete – a gun-obsessed egotist who shot girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in a rage or a vulnerable figure with a disability who pulled the trigger in a tragic case of mistaken identity.

Kittel wins Tour stage; Nibali retains lead LILLE, France – Marcel Kittel sprinted to his third stage victory at the Tour de France on Tuesday, while defending champion Chris Froome had a scare in a crash that scuffed his left side and wrist before a tough day ahead on cobblestones. Astana team leader Vincenzo Nibali of Italy, who kept the yellow jersey, decried a “crazy race” in the 101-mile Stage 4 along the Belgian border as cycling’s big event entered France after a wildly popular three-day start in England. Unlike his wins in Stages 1 and 3, when he made victory look easy, Kittel eked out victory by a half-wheel length at the end of the ride from Le Touquet-Paris Plage to Lille Metropole.

Netherlands may face Argentina minus van Persie By RICK MAESE The Washington Post SAO PAULO, Brazil – The fun-loving, fleet-footed team in orange has formally donned the black hat. One of its top players falls down more than a Hollywood stunt man with vertigo. Its coach acts as though he’s the smartest man in every room (and he very well might be). And the Netherlands has already ousted two plucky underdogs – fan favorites Mexico and Costa Rica – from the tournament. No, the Dutch team might not win many popularity contests at this World Cup, but the Oranje might finally have the squad capable of winning the sport’s biggest title. “We have to be a bit lucky,” Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal said Tuesday. “The coin has to face your way, as we say in Dutch.” They’ll need more than luck on their side in Wednesday’s semifinal, where they’ll face Lionel Messi, his talented Argentina team and what promises to be a loud contingent of fans swathed in light blue. The Netherlands is accustomed to being the team with rousing crowd support. Once a highly likable bunch with an impressive football history – “Total Football,” Johan Cruyff and those splashy orange kits – it has evolved into a villain of sorts, noted for van Gaal’s petulance, Arjen Robben’s dives and thuggish play in the 2010 World Cup final that prompted nine yellow cards. The Netherlands is aiming for not only a return trip to the finals but hoping to overcome some troubling history. The Dutch have settled for second-place finishes at the World Cup in 1974, ‘78 and 2010, and are still looking for their first title. One key against Argentina could be the play of Robin van Persie, who was unable to practice alongside his teammates Tuesday. Van Gaal said his star player was battling a stomach ailment and wouldn’t speculate on his status

The team captain was sent to the bench late in the team’s 2-1 win over Mexico in the round of 16 on June 29, and at the Netherlands’ practice session Tuesday, reporters spotted the star player and coach exchanging words. “You seemed to be annoyed when you talked with him,” a reporter said to van Gaal later. “No, no,” the coach responded. “I’m always really nice.” Although he’s already pulled van Persie once this tournament – and the Manchester United Star also missed the Netherlands’ third match after picking up two yellow cards – van Gaal seemed to indicate he was hopeful whatever ailed van Persie on Tuesday would pass quickly. “In principle, my captain will always play,” van Gaal said. “Of course,

they have to be in good shape.” Dutch media members know that now is a difficult time to second-guess the coach. Seemingly every decision he’s made in this tournament has helped propel the Oranje forward. He’s used the same lineup just twice. In its past three games, the team has scored four goals; three have come from van Gaal’s second-half substitutes. In a 3-2 win over Australia in the group stage, he sent in 20-year old Memphis Depay, who had an assist on the goal that tied the game and then scored the game-winner. Then against Mexico, van Gaal gambled again, replacing van Persie with Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. The Dutch striker set up Wesley Sneijder’s equalizer in the 88th minute and then scored the game-winner two minutes later on a penalty kick. Van Gaal is also responsible for

perhaps the most surprising personnel move in a tournament that’s been packed with drama. Tim Krul, the team’s backup goalkeeper, hadn’t set foot on the pitch during this World Cup – not until time was close to expiring in the Netherlands’ quarterfinal matchup against Costa Rica. With penalty kicks about to settle a 0-0 game, Van Gaal yanked his starter, Jasper Cillessen, who’d just played 120 minutes without allowing a goal. “If you see their manager’s face when I came on – he was looking over at our manager – his face was priceless,” Krul said. “It was definitely one of those fantastic moves.” All Krul did was block two Costa Rica tries and stamp his team’s ticket into the semifinals. Cillessen will be back in goal against Argentina. “It will not affect my confidence,” he said.

It equaled the margin of its previous worst defeat – a 6-0 loss to Uruguay in 1920. “It was one after the other,” Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari said. “I think everyone like blanked out.” And it could yet get worse. Brazil’s bitterest rival, Argentina, could advance to Sunday’s final if it beats the Netherlands in the other semifinal Wednesday. If that happens, Brazilians will cheer for Germany, the team that hurt them so badly. Because if Argentina wins the cup it wanted so badly, Brazil’s torture will be complete. • John Leicester is an international sports columnist for The Associated Press.

Speedy rookie Perry Familiarity with each other should help • VOLLEYBALL has chance to stick Continued from page C1

• BEARS Continued from page C1 mix to handle return responsibilities. Lynch looked natural catching on the move, but he has never had the task of blocking blitzing linebackers before, something all the others have at some point during their football lives. Perry has rare speed and suddenness, but he struggled a bit with his hands during OTAs and minicamp. Fiammetta’s battle to make the roster could become interesting if the Bears want to keep extra tight ends or offensive tackles that could play his blocking role.

Contract situations (information via Spotrac): The Bears are in an enviable situation regarding the salary cap in the backfield at a position that has become increasingly devalued. Forte has a base salary of just less than $6 million this year, a terrific value for one of the NFL’s few do-everything tailbacks. Entering the third year of a four-year, $30 million deal, Forte could be focused on an-

other strong showing perhaps leading to a contract extension, although his age – 29 in December – and Carey’s presence wouldn’t seem to work in his favor. Carey, Draughn and Ford combined are slated to earn less than $1.5 million in 2014; Lynch and Perry are guaranteed nothing moving forward unless they earn a spot on the 53-man roster or practice squad. Keep an eye on: Perry. The 6-foot-0, 206-pound undrafted rookie out of Louisville understandably flew under the radar because of higher-profile rookies like Carey and Lynch, but he possesses a unique trait in this competition: speed and explosion. Perry’s game needs refining, however. In addition to struggling at times catching balls, he must improve as a route runner, and his blocking abilities are an unknown heading to camp. But the Bears showed last offseason, when Ford earned a spot on the 53man roster, that undrafted free agents can stick at this position.

Aside from the trio, all his players – recruited by Schulze based largely on recommendations from their college coaches – have either played against or are familiar with one another through club or college volleyball. Making sure each player possessed the right skills was a separate challenge. In addition to playing six rotations – teams don’t substitute as liberally in Europe – defensive prowess is a must. “European style is low air and play high,” said Brauneis, who is a setter at Georgetown and will share passing responsibilities with Gilleland.

And they’re ready for scrutiny from scouts again – something they became used to on the high school club circuit, but haven’t thought much about since. “When you’re young in the recruiting process, you don’t understand what they’re looking for,” Gilleland said. “And then you realize that they look for different things than we think they do.

BULLS

Pau Gasol still strong option If no Anthony, center targeted By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com The patience of the Bulls’ front office continued to be tested Tuesday, as the indecision of Carmelo Anthony still seems to be messing with even Plan B from being pursued. According to a source, the Bulls feel like if Anthony goes elsewhere, they are one of the leading candidates to land free-agent big man Pau Gas- Carmelo ol … unless that Anthony elsewhere just so happens to be the Lakers, which in turn could start the dominoes falling and Gasol also staying with his former team in Los Angeles. “It’s frustrating for [the front office], but it’s free agency,” the source said. That’s one way to describe it. Besides the Bulls, Gasol was being targeted by Oklahoma City, Miami, the Lakers, San Antonio and the New York Knicks. The Thunder and the Bulls, however, were the two teams that impressed Gasol the most, at least until Tuesday when reports from a Monday meeting between Gasol and Thunder coach Scott Brooks resulted in Oklahoma City feeling like the money wouldn’t work with Gasol. Because of cap space, the Thunder are limited to near the $5 million mark in what they can offer. The Bulls will have a bit more financial freedom for the 34-year-old, depending on the negotiations with Nikola

Mirotic, and could come closer to the $7 million to $9 million range. The Bulls met with Gasol on Thursday in Los Angeles, but it was his meetings and talks with All-Star center Joakim Noah that have really impressed Gasol, said the source. Not only would Gasol walk onto a playoff-caliber team, but a team that plays an unselfish style of basketball that he likes, as well as having a starting job. During the talks with Gasol, the Spaniard revealed his desire to start wherever he goes, and while Taj Gibson has been focusing on moving from a Sixth Man of the Year Award second-place finisher last season to a starter, well, Gibson has always maintained that he’ll do “whatever is best for the team.” Notes: The Bulls announced their Summer League roster Tuesday, highlighted by first-round pick Doug McDermott and last year’s first-round draft choice Tony Snell. Cameron Bairstow, who was selected in the second round in the June draft, will also have a lot of eyes on him. Former Illinois guard Brandon Paul also will be on the roster. Adrian Griffin again will be the acting head coach, with Andy Greer, Ed Pinckney, Mike Wilhelm and Coby Karl the assistants. The first game is set for Saturday, as they take on the Clippers at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. Longtime athletic trainer Fred Tedeschi left the organization, accepting a position at Oregon State. Assistant trainer Jeff Tanaka will oversee those duties during Summer League.

NBA: SALE OF CLIPPERS TRIAL

Donald Sterling steals show By LINDA DEUTSCH The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Donald Sterling, who’s challenging the sale of his Los Angeles Clippers, gave testy, bombastic testimony Tuesday, contending he’s mentally sound, sparring with his wife’s lawyer and repeatedly drawing laughter from spectators. “Tell me what you want to accuse me of ... stand up and be a man,” he told attorney Bert Fields during a 90-minute afternoon appearance. The 80-year-old billionaire also called doctors who’ve declared he has Alzheimer’s disease “hired guns,” pleaded a faulty memory about some of his most controversial remarks and declared he could top the $2 billion offer for the Clippers by $10 billion by selling TV rights to Fox and winning an antitrust suit he’s filed against the NBA. “What do you think, I’m doing this for ego?” he asked Fields. “Yes,” the attorney replied. “Well, you’re wrong, like

you’re wrong with all your questions,” Sterling said. He also repeatedly told the soft-voiced Fields that he couldn’t hear him, but at one point also said he was a good lawyer. As Sterling made continued outbursts, Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas tried futilely to take control of the situation, at one point telling him: “Go back to answering questions rather than making somewhat entertaining comments.” Sterling was ordered to appear to testify after failing to show up Monday to take the stand at the beginning of the nonjury lawsuit trial. He was scheduled to return to the stand Wednesday afternoon. The NBA has moved to oust Sterling from team ownership because of racist remarks he made to a girlfriend. His lawyers are challenging the authority of Shelly Sterling under a family trust to unilaterally cut a deal for the team with former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. In order to be able to make

the deal herself, Shelly Sterling had two doctors examine her husband and they declared him mentally incapacitated and unable to act as an administrator of The Sterling Family Trust, which owns the Clippers. Sterling angrily denied that on the witness stand. “When I went to the Cleveland Clinic, they told me I was razor-sharp. I have five corporations and I run them every day,” he said. Sterling acknowledged that he had offered to allow his wife to negotiate the sale at one point, but that was when he believed she would retain an interest in the team. “I wanted to keep the team. I didn’t want to sell it,” he said. Despite his challenge, Sterling repeatedly defended his wife and during a break before giving testimony, he pulled her down to his chair for a kiss. She wiped away a tear. “I trust her today,” Sterling said on the stand. “The reason we’re here is because she’s afraid of this big NBA that’s trying to take everything away.”

LAS VEGAS – LeBron James worked out and had a meeting agenda Tuesday. In another summer of NBA Free Agent Frenziness, if James knows where he will be playing next season, he still isn’t saying. Asked by The Associated Press how free agency was going when his afternoon meeting agenda was apparently complete, the four-time MVP said “no complaints.” He offered a quick greeting, and provided no hints of anything – including when his next “Decision” will be known – before leaving with a wave. The entire exchange lasted about eight seconds. James, who has been relatively quiet while weighing his options, never broke stride. He was upstairs in an exclusive part of a Las Vegas hotel Tuesday, holding court for a little more than three hours before emerging in the lobby, walking toward his assembled brain trust – including longtime manager Maverick Carter and Nike representatives, a sponsor of the LeBron James Skills Academy he’ll be hosting in Las Vegas starting Wednesday – and got whisked away. James is expected to meet with Miami Heat President

Pat Riley before making a final decision on his NBA future, and a person close to the situation said that meeting had not happened as of Tuesday afternoon. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because no one has publicly announced the LeBron James d a t e o f t h e meeting. Some of James’ representatives have met with several teams, including the Cleveland Cavaliers. After filming a TV commercial in Coral Gables, Florida on Monday, James flew to Vegas, which was planned because of his academy. Later this week, he’s expected to travel to Brazil for the World Cup final. He took time Tuesday morning to work out with Dwyane Wade in Las Vegas before his meetings, another person close to the situation told the AP. Like James, Wade has also not announced his plans for next season and beyond, though it is still largely expected that the 2006 NBA Finals MVP and three-time champion will remain in Miami. James’ future remains anyone’s guess.

And it appears the buildup to his second foray into free-agent craziness will last longer than the one that culminated in him going to Miami in 2010. He made that announcement July 8, 2010 – exactly four years ago Tuesday. Unlike 2010, James has kept a much lower profile during his courtship. While he was on a family vacation, his agent, Rich Paul, met in Cleveland with the Cavs as well as the Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns, all of whom pitched plans as to why the 29-year-old superstar should sign with them. James wanted to contain the madness that surrounded his first foray into free agency four years ago, but the growth of social media has turned the past week into an endless storm of rumors, speculation and baseless media reports. While James may be nearing an announcement, that won’t come until he’s met with Riley. And the Heat have been making moves as well, announcing Monday that they intend to sign forwards Danny Granger and Josh McRoberts, two free agents to bolster their roster. • AP sports writer Tom Withers in Cleveland contributed to this report.

CHARLOTTE HORNETS

Youngsters to fill McRoberts’ shoes By STEVE REED The Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Charlotte Hornets are turning to a pair of young, inexperienced power forwards after losing Josh McRoberts in free agency. McRoberts was the one player coach Steve Clifford said the team couldn’t afford to lose this offseason. Yet the seven-year NBA veteran is headed out the door. The Miami Heat announced

Monday they intend to sign McRoberts when the NBA’s moratorium on deals being formally struck ends on Thursday. Clifford hasn’t been made available to the meJosh dia this week, McRoberts but it’s expected second-year player Cody Zeller will take McRoberts’ spot in the starting lineup with

Noah Vonleh, the ninth overall pick in last month’s draft, likely to see significant playing time. The Hornets don’t have any veteran depth at power forward beyond their two youngsters. Zeller, the No. 4 pick in the 2013 draft, played in 82 games with three starts as a rookie and averaged six points and four rebounds a game last season. However, he showed dramatic improvement in the second half of the season.

BLACKHAWKS

Assistant Kompon leaving to coach Portland of WHL By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com Blackhawks assistant coach Jamie Kompon is leaving the team to become the head coach and general manager of the Portland Winterhawks, a junior team in the Western Hockey League, according to a source. Jamie K o m p o n Kompon has been a Hawks assistant for the past two seasons, replacing Mike Haviland after spending six seasons on the Los Angeles Kings staff. Before that, he spent nine years with the Blues, working on Joel Quenneville’s staff alongside current Hawks assistant Mike Kitchen. Kom-

pon won back-to-back Stanley Cups, with the Kings in 2012 and the Hawks in 2013. One of Kompon’s primary responsibilities with the Hawks was coaching the power play, which improved to 10th in the league this past season after placing 19th in his first season. The Hawks scored on 12-of-57 power plays (21.1 percent) in the playoffs. Kompon’s departure means the Hawks will open the season with a half-new coaching staff. They just added goaltending coach Jimmy Waite – brother of longtime goalie coach Stephane Waite – to the staff this week after firing Steve Weeks after one season. The Winterhawks, who have been in the WHL final in each of the past four seasons – winning in 2013 – have scheduled a news conference for Wednesday afternoon.

Players admit to aftereffects of losing Samardzija, Hammel By GORDON WITTENMYER

Reds rally for DH sweep of Cubs

gwittenmyer@suntimes.com CINCINNATI – Nobody in the Cubs’ clubhouse blames their tough stretch since Saturday on the trade the night before that blew up the rotation and stunned the guys left behind. But nobody, except maybe the manager, denies the aftereffects in a clubhouse that lost two of its most respected and popular veterans. “I’d be lying if none of us acknowledged what had happened,” said outfielder Chris Coghlan, who homered in both games of Tuesday’s doubleheader but still couldn’t prevent the Cincinnati Reds from sweeping the Cubs by scores of 4-2 and 6-5. “I’ve been through this with Miami, so it’s a little easier. But it still cuts because there’s relationships,” Coghlan added. “It’s not just business for individuals in here.” Coming up on the vacated rotation spots of Jason Hammel and Jeff Samardzija on Wednesday and Thursday, the remaining players are still looking for the growing swagger that had them on a four-game winning streak – and 2519 run over their past seven weeks – until the trade. They haven’t won since – blowing a 5-0 lead in Tuesday’s nightcap despite three home runs and five strong innings by 33-year-old rookie Tsuyoshi Wada, the Japanese veteran making his major-league debut. They’ve been outscored 34-11 in those five losses (including a 13-0 blowout less than 24 hours after the trade) – with firstyear Cubs killer Billy Hamilton dealing them what might be the toughest of the five when his game-winning single in the ninth landed just inside the left-field foul line Tuesday night. “Truth be told, as quickly as everybody can put that to bed [the better]. Personally, it’s already done,” manager Rick Renteria said. “I can’t turn back the

CINCINNATI – Jay Bruce homered in the opener, and then helped the Cincinnati Reds pull off their biggest comeback of the season for a doubleheader sweep Tuesday, 4-2 and 6-5, over the Cubs. The Reds overcame a 5-0 deficit in the second game, sending the Cubs to their fifth straight loss. Bruce doubled home the tying run in the eighth. Billy Hamilton then had a broken-bat RBI single in the ninth off Hector Rondon (1-3) for the Reds’ first doubleheader sweep since 2009 against Pittsburgh. The Cubs have been swept in all three of their doubleheaders this season. They haven’t won a game since trading starters Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel to Oakland for a package of prospects. In the opener, Bruce returned to right field and hit another two-run homer, connecting off Travis Wood (7-7) during a three-run first inning. Johnny Cueto (9-6) extended his stretch of success against the Cubs. He is 5-0 in his past seven starts against them with a 1.19 ERA. Chris Coghlan homered in both games and helped the Cubs get in position for a split, but the bullpen couldn’t hold on. Cubs left-hander Tsuyoshi Wada made his major league debut and gave up an unearned run in five innings in the nightcap, leaving with a 5-1 lead.

– The Associated Press clock. I can’t make any changes to that. I have no control over that. The only thing we can control is continuing to play.” They’re doing that this week with three straight games started by rookie pitchers, who had one combined bigleague appearances before Tuesday. Wada was a one-day, 26th-man callup for the doubleheader, who might have earned strong consideration for another shot after the All-Star break.

Dallas Beeler (one start two weeks ago) and Kyle Hendricks (debut) start the final two games in Cincinnati on Wednesday and Thursday. With more trades certain to come before the July 31 deadline – Luis Valbuena and James Russell among the likeliest candidates to go – the challenge of the past few days could last a few more weeks. “It’s always a challenge when you lose good guys like Samardzija and Hammel,” Game 1 starter Travis Wood said. “As a staff we’ve just got to step it up. We’ve got a couple young guys coming up, so hopefully they can add a spark. “You can’t really worry about [the trades]. All you can do is wish them luck, but then you’ve got to keep focus right here, Wood added. “You knew it was going to happen. You didn’t really expect it to be both at the same time. But we were prepared. … It’s tough to lose guys like that, but we all know it’s a business. We all know how it rolls.” Coghlan, who has heated up, if anything, since the trades, said the bottom line is “being professional.” “At the end of the day, if you don’t like it, play better. Win more games, and guys stick around,” said Coghlan, who’s hitting .452 (14 for 31) through nine games on this trip, with six extra-base hits – 7 for 12 with two homers and a double in three games against the Reds. “You lose, then this is what happens,” he said. “It happened, and at this point you have to be able to control what you can control and prepare and go out and play. “I embrace the challenge the same way, regardless of [who’s here]. The relationships we have in here, we’ve got to continue building. When you have new faces, embrace them and try to build that. … They’re in charge [in the front office], and they’re going to make decisions. You’ve just got to go do your [job].”

Sale leads final vote for All-Star team By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com BOSTON – White Sox lefthander Chris Sale is leading the American League’s final vote for the All-Star game, which will be played Tuesday at Target Field in Minneapolis, and first baseman Jose Abreu, who is already on the team, still doesn’t figure to participate in the Home Run Derby the night before. Sale leads Los Angeles Angels right-hander Garrett Richards, Detroit Tigers righthander Rick Porcello, Cleveland Indians right-hander Corey Kluber and Houston Astros left-hander Dallas Keuchel for the 34th spot on the AL team. Sale, who is scheduled to pitch Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, is 8-1 with a 2.16 ERA.

When Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera and Angels outfielder Mike Trout backed away from participating early on, any pressure Abreu might have felt to take part was alleviated. The Sox have put no pressure on him to participate, even though having him in the spotlight would be good for the team. “That’s not a priority right now,” Abreu said. Abreu has been cool to the idea of participating from the beginning because he fears it would mess with his mental approach to hitting. “You go out and try to hit home runs,” he said. “I’m not a guy who tries to hit home runs; I let them come whenever they come. And sometimes it messes with your mechanics.”

Friends linked by golf

FIVE-DAY PLANNER TEAM

ON THE FRINGE Doug Ferguson SOUTHPORT, England – The friendly matches in South Florida can involve as many as eight players, with teams decided by drawing names from a hat. Michelle Wie would seem to be a great pick, except for the timing. “We usually play in the morning and then go have lunch,” Stacy Lewis said Tuesday. “And she usually gets very focused on the lunch and kind of doesn’t pay attention to the whole golf side of it. She’ll tell you the same thing.” Wie laughed when told the story Lewis shared. Wie loves her golf and works hard at it. She also loves her food so much that before dinner gets to the table she’s already thinking about the next night’s menu. For two personalities that could not be any more different, Wie and Lewis have become close friends. One is an artist, the other a technician. “You go to her house, she’s painted everything that’s on her walls,” Lewis said. “I need my sister to help me decorate.” One is tall and powerful, the other is compact and precise. “That’s what Stacy is. She’s consistent,” Wie said. “She’s deadly consistent. Annoyingly consistent.” One thing they have in common is a college diploma, rare in women’s golf these days. And even that was different. Lewis graduated from Arkansas before she turned pro. Wie graduated from Stanford more than six years after she turned pro. They are major champions and Nos. 1-2 on the LPGA Tour money list. And more than any two players, they are leading an American revival in women’s golf, which resumes this week at Royal Birkdale. Lewis began this recent surge of American success in the majors by capturing the Ricoh Women’s British Open at St. Andrews last summer. Wie won the U.S. Women’s Open last month at Pinehurst No. 2, making it around the Donald Ross greens without a three-putt over 72 holes. She won by two shots over Lewis, who rushed over from the practice range to be among the first to congratulate her. A week later, Lewis rallied to beat Wie in Arkansas and take over the No. 1 spot on the money list, raising curiosity about a budding

2011 — Derek Jeter homered for his 3,000th hit, making him the first player to reach the mark with the New York Yankees. Jeter hit the milestone with a drive to left field with one out in the third inning off Tampa Bay’s David Price, his first at Yankee Stadium this season. He tied a career high going 5 for 5 and singled home the go-ahead run in the eighth inning for a 5-4 win. Jeter became the 28th major leaguer to hit the mark and joined former teammate Wade Boggs as the only players to do it with a home run. 2011 — The Los Angeles Dodgers got their first hit with two outs in the ninth inning and still beat the San Diego Padres 1-0 when Dioner Navarro singled in Juan Uribe for the unlikely victory. Uribe was down to his last strike when he drove a pitch from Luke Gregerson over the head of left fielder Chris Denorfia for Los Angeles’ first hit and only the second hit of the game for either team. Navarro then looped a 3-1 pitch into short right-center to give the Dodgers three consecutive shutout victories for the first time since

It’s too early for that, and there are too many other players in the mix. “I feel very honored that people are putting me up against Stacy – No. 1 in the world, obviously,” Wie said. “I don’t think you’ll find a rivalry where we hate each other or anything. But I want her to do well. I think she wants me to do well. But I think it’s fun because we definitely want to beat each other. I don’t want to lose to her, but at the same time, I was really happy that she won in Arkansas and I think she was really happy I won at the U.S. Open, so I think it’s very cool.” Lewis had to overcome more obstacles. Scoliosis forced her to wear a back brace for 18 hours a day from age 11 until she had surgery to insert a metal rod in her back before heading to college. She has 11 wins, two majors and is the only American to be LPGA player of the year in the past 20 years. Wie is the bigger star, the player who makes everyone look when she walks into a room. “I don’t know if anybody could be a female Tiger Woods, but Michelle definitely moves the needle,” Lewis said. “I think her playing good golf is good for everyone. It’s good for the tour and it’s good for the other players. I said the U.S. Open couldn’t have been scripted any better. We’re on our biggest stage there and our biggest star winning there – and she won’t even

tell you that, but she is our biggest star. Her winning was huge for us.” Their paths first crossed at another U.S. Women’s Open. Lewis made her pro debut at Interlachen in 2008 and played in the last group before finishing third. Wie didn’t break 80 in the first round and had gone two years without finishing in the top 10 on the LPGA Tour. They played together at Q-school later that year. Lewis was medalist. Wie got the headlines for earning her card. “I knew as much about her as everybody did, just seeing her on TV and stuff like that,” Lewis said. “A lot of players, your perception changes once you meet them.” They met as teammates on the Solheim Cup. They are now neighbors in Florida. They practice together. They have the same trainer and are motivated by how hard each other works. They spent Fourth of July together. It rained all day, so they hung out all day, talked and set off a few fireworks. “I don’t really know what it is, but I enjoy hanging around her,” Lewis said. “It’s cool how I’ve learned a lot from her, how she handles the media and how she’s handled the pressures and expectations. She doesn’t read anything that anybody writes and she doesn’t really care what anybody thinks about her. Wish I could be like that, too.” • Doug Ferguson covers golf for

BEIJING – The American late-night talk show “Conan” has racked up more than 3 million hits since its debut on an online video site in China. The comedy show hosted by Conan O’Brien and featuring celebrity interviews is available on the website of Sohu Video, a unit of Chinese online media group and Nasdaq-listed Sohu.com Inc., the company said Tuesday. It is accompanied with Chinese subtitles and, in less than two weeks, has received more than 3 million hits.

Stevie Nicks joining ‘The Voice’ as adviser

Music duo loses gang lawsuit DETROIT – The federal government can’t be blamed for any fallout from a 2011 FBI report that put a gang tag on fans of the music group Insane Clown Posse, a judge said. U.S. District Judge Robert Cleland dismissed a lawsuit by the rap-metal duo and fans, known as Juggalos, who said they’ve been targeted by police because they have jewelry or tattoos with the group’s symbol, a man running with a hatchet. Cleland said the U.S. Justice Department is not responsible for how authorities use a national report on gangs. The report “does not recommend any particular course of action for local law enforcement to follow, and instead operates as a descriptive, rather than prescriptive, assessment of nationwide gang trends,” Cleland said in a 14-page opinion last week. The American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan filed a lawsuit on behalf of Juggalos and the group, claiming their constitutional rights to free speech and due process were violated by the report. The FBI report labeled the Juggalos as a “loosely organized hybrid gang.” It said those who identify as Juggalos have committed assaults and vandalism, and a “small number” of them have engaged in more serious crimes. There is no mention of them in the latest report. The ACLU said it will appeal Cleland’s decision. “This is not the end. We’ll keep fighting to clear the Juggalo family name,” Insane Clown Posse member Joseph Bruce, known as Violent J, said in a statement released by the ACLU.

LOS ANGELES – Stevie Nicks is joining “The Voice” as an adviser to Adam Levine’s team for the upcoming season. Filming is currently underway on the show’s seventh season. Nicks, the 66-year-old Fleetwood Mac singer, has been working with Levine and his 12 team members as they assign songs and rehearse with the contestants in preparation for the show’s battle rounds. Levine and Blake Shelton will be joined by Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Williams as coaches when the NBC show returns on Sept. 22. The network said it will soon announce other advisers for this season. Fleetwood Mac is set to embark on a 33-city tour starting Sept. 30 in Minneapolis, with Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and his ex-wife Christine McVie.

Reality TV husband gets prison sentence for fraud

Sean Hayes joins cast of CBS sitcom ‘The Millers’

Wait time for new Harry Potter ride: 450 minutes

LOS ANGELES – CBS said popular sitcom star Sean Hayes is joining the cast of its comedy “The Millers” as a series regular. Hayes will play the new best friend of the character played by Margo Martindale and a new source of friction for her son, played by Will Arnett, CBS said on Tuesday. Hayes is best-known from eight seasons on the sitcom “Will & Grace.” Last season he starred in the comedy series “Sean Saves the World.” “The Millers,” which premiered last fall, is a family comedy also starring Beau Bridges and J.B. Smoove. Its second

ATLANTA – The husband of a “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star has been sentenced to eight years in prison after pleading guilty to federal fraud charges. Federal prosecutors said Tuesday that 35-year-old Apollo Nida was also ordered to pay restitution to victims of a $2.3 million scheme during his sentencing hearing in U.S. District Court in Atlanta. Nida is the husband of Phaedra Parks, one of the reality show’s stars. He pleaded guilty May 6 to conspiring to commit mail, wire and bank fraud. Prosecutors say Nida and co-conspirators since 2009 had stolen checks and used victims’ stolen identities to file fraudulent tax returns and fraudulent claims against the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Authorities say the group laundered money by opening bank accounts in its victims’ names.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Lines to get on the new Harry Potter ride at Universal Orlando Resort were more than seven hours long Tuesday – enough time to watch a couple of Harry Potter movies or for a fast reader to get through a Harry Potter book.

Universal spokesman Tom Schroder confirmed the long lines, though he noted that wait time varied throughout the day. Universal workers were handing out tickets with return times printed on them to ease congestion.

Ribs are easier – and faster – than you think

t was one of those culinary epiphanies. I realized you rarely get great barbecued ribs from a restaurant. They have to come from backyards. My rib-awakening came during the world’s largest barbecue contest, Memphis in May. All it took was that first bite of a grill-smoked rib for me to recognize the real deal. There is nothing like homemade ribs. And here is the dirty little secret: They don’t take nearly as long as the competition guys would like you to think they do. And they are much simpler to prepare than legend has it. The most popular ribs to cook are back ribs, but spareribs and St. Louis-style ribs are gaining traction, too. Once you decide which type of rib to buy, there are a few things to remember when selecting your meat. First, make sure each slab weighs at least 2 pounds and that the ribs have a nice layer of meat covering the bone. Slabs of ribs that are factory-cut often have “bone shine,” or areas of the rack where the blade hit the bone and cut off all the meat. Second, buy the best quality, freshest product available. This is especially true with meat, and there is a wide range of product in the marketplace. If you have a local butcher who cuts the meat, frequent his or her shop. He’ll give you tips on cooking, can cut meat to order, and can special order meat. If you don’t have a local butcher, go to a grocer that has high traffic and keeps the meat case rotated with fresh product every day. Beyond that, be sure to look at the expiration date on the label and give your purchases the old-fashioned smell test. If it smells “off” or a little funny, then it is probably old. I prefer buying ribs that are vacuum sealed, as they generally are the freshest choice. The next decision you have to make is whether to remove the silver skin. Along the back (non-meaty) side of a slab of ribs there is a smooth covering, or membrane, that holds the ribs together. It is often referred to as the silver skin. Some people recommend removing it, but it is purely optional. If you leave it on, it is a good indicator of when the ribs are done because it lifts away from the meat when it is cooked. It is very crispy when done, looks a little like parchment paper and is slightly translucent. Many people consider it a delicacy and enjoy eating it. Many more don’t even know it is removable. A few cooks say leaving the membrane intact prevents the seasonings from penetrating the meat and stops the rendering of the fat. I have never found this to be true. I think it is mostly a cosmetic issue and a little-known one at that. But be forewarned, if your rack of ribs has any “bone shine,” the membrane will keep the rack intact, and if you remove it, your rack will likely fall apart. The final thing you need to know is the best way to test for doneness is to make sure the meat has receded from the ends of the bones and that you can bend the rack without breaking it in pieces. And remember, the only way the meat will fall off the bone is if you par-boil them first (just say no!) or if you way over-cook them. The best ribs should be tender, but have a little chew left.

Memphis-Style Baby Back Ribs

RACK By ELIZABETH KARMEL • The Associated Press

Know your ribs Back ribs are cut from high up on the rib near the spine. Back ribs are meaty, leaner than spareribs and very flavorful. This is the area of the pig from which the tenderloin is cut. Back ribs usually are sold in either full slabs (13 ribs) or half slabs (7 ribs), and are the most expensive cut of rib. When they come from a pig that was less than a year old, they are referred to as “baby” back ribs. True baby back ribs generally weigh 1 to 1½ pounds each, which makes them difficult to cook on the grill because they have so little meat. Spareribs are cut from the belly or side of the pig. Spareribs are longer and fatter than back ribs. While they have less meat, many parts of the country prefer them. The St. Louis-style cut is gaining in popularity. The St. Louis cut is a sparerib trimmed to remove the flap of meat on the underside of the breast bone and squared off to more easily fit on the grill. What’s your favorite type of ribs? Vote online at NWHerald. com.

his is my version of the ribs that won a Memphis in May barbecue contest a few years back. The guys who made them took me under their wings and taught me everything they knew – or so they said – about barbecuing baby backs. Their secret was marinating the ribs in lemon juice before seasoning them with a commercial spice rub. I’ve streamlined their process with cut lemons and a homemade rub.

Memphis-Style Baby Back Ribs Start to finish: 2 hours 45 minutes (30 minutes active) Servings: 6 6 pounds baby back ribs 3 cups barbecue woodchips, soaked in water for 1 hour 2 lemons, halved 1/4 cup barbecue rub (see recipe below) 16-ounce bottle barbecue sauce Prepare a grill for medium-low (about 325 degrees F.) indirect cooking. In a charcoal grill, this means banking the hot coals to one side of the grill and cooking the ribs on the cooler side. In a gas grill, this means heating the grill with all burners on, but turning off the burners on one side just before putting the food on that side. Remove silver skin from the backs of the ribs, if desired. Place the soaked wood chips directly on the hot charcoals, or in smoking box if using a gas grill (place the box in the grill according to manufacturer directions). Cover the grill. Rub the cut lemons all over the fronts and backs of the ribs, squeezing to release as much juice as possible. Set aside for 5 minutes, then sprinkle the ribs liberally with the barbecue rub. Let sit for 15 minutes. Place the ribs, bone side down, in the center of the cooking grate over the cooler side of the grill. Cover the grill and cook 1½ to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and has pulled back from the ends of the bones. Do not open the grill cover for at least the first 30 minutes. After that, if the ribs start to burn at the edges, stack them on top of one another in the very center of the grill and lower your heat slightly. Twenty minutes before serving, un-stack the ribs if necessary, then brush with barbecue sauce. Remove the ribs from the grill and let rest 10 minutes before cutting into individual or 2- to 3-rib portions. If desired, additional barbecue sauce can be warmed and served alongside the ribs.

Oh, bacon! ‘Pantry’ staple makes every meal better By SALLY ANN SHURMUR The Associated Press

‘Fried’ Fish BLT Pitas AP photo

Bulk up classic BLT Tilapia adds extra protein to classic American sandwich In terms of flavor and texture, it’s hard to beat a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich, reportedly one of the most popular sandwiches in America. Trouble is, it’s not exactly filling. I’ve always thought of the BLT as an air sandwich; it packs plenty of calories but demonstrates very little staying power. So here I’ve rejiggered the traditional recipe in ways that simultaneously slim it down and bulk it up. The best news, to start, is that a little bacon goes a long way. I’ve used the real stuff – no turkey bacon, please – but less than usual, just a slice per sandwich. Meanwhile, I’ve amped up the protein with a small piece of crispy breaded tilapia. A sustainable fish choice, tilapia has a mild flavor with a firm texture, which keeps it from falling apart in the sandwich. But any firm-fleshed fish will do. The tilapia is coated in flour that’s been seasoned with smoked paprika, which

EVERYDAY DINNERS Sara Moulton nicely echoes the bacon’s smokiness. The crunchiness comes in when the fish is dipped in egg whites and coated in panko breadcrumbs (everyone’s favorite breadcrumb these days). The fish then is sautéed in a skillet and finished in the oven, a process requiring less oil than if it was cooked from start to finish on top of the stove. I’ve flavored the mayo with lemon and fresh basil. Basil and tomato go together like love and marriage. And speaking of tomatoes, now is the time to splurge on the beefsteak heirloom tomatoes that may well be gracing your local farmers market. A properly grown, fully ripe tomato in season is one of the pleasures that make life worth living. The standard lettuce of choice for a BLT is romaine,

which I like for its crunch. But you certainly could swap it out for spinach or arugula. Finally, I’ve sliced the pita pockets horizontally to form two thin rounds. This little trick helps to cut back the usual amount of bread in a BLT. You end up eating one 6-inch pita instead of two slices of bread.

1 beefsteak tomato, sliced 1/3 inch thick 2 large romaine lettuce leaves, halved crosswise

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with kitchen parchment. In a medium skillet over medium, cook the bacon until crisp, then transfer to paper towels to drain. In a small bowl stir together the ‘Fried’ Fish BLT Pitas basil, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Start to finish: 35 minutes Set aside. Servings: 4 Season the fish with salt and pepper.

Coat the fish first in the 4 small tilapia fillets (about 2 1/2 flour mixture, then dip it in the egg ounces each) whites, letting the excess drip off, Salt and ground black pepper then dredge in the panko, making 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour sure the fish is well coated. 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika In a large nonstick skillet over 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs medium-high, heat 1 1/2 table2 large egg whites spoons of the oil.

Grilling an impressive way to cook cauliflower By J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press Last summer, the hip way to handle cauliflower was to treat it like a steak. It was a trick that started in restaurants and quickly trickled down to home cooks looking for fresh ways to make an often overlooked vegetable a little more interesting. Most recipes call for cutting a head of cauliflower into thick slabs that remain intact during cooking. The slabs are seasoned and often grilled, and the result is a delicious, impressive and substantial dinner. But recently I read about a whole new approach to cooking cauliflower, with “whole” being the key. The food website KitchenDaily.com posted a fascinating recipe for spicy whole-roasted cauliflower in which the entire head is coated with a spicy cumin-yogurt sauce, then slowly roasted. The result is a lightly crisped exterior and a tender interior, all of which is cut into slices like a pie. I had to try it. But I also had to adapt it. After all, it’s summer and I firmly believe anything that can be done on the grill ought to be done on the grill. I also wanted an even crunchier exterior,

something savory and a little salty, but that also would play up the textural contrast with the tender interior. My solution was a well-seasoned blend of almond flour and egg. I simply overturned the head of cauliflower into a bowl of this coating, then set it on the grill right side up. Note that the trick to getting the insides tender without burning the outside is a gentle heat. Indirect grilling is the best bet for this recipe.

Serves 8 to 10 2 heads broccoli, cut into bitesize pieces 1 pound bacon, crisp-cooked, drained, and crumbled 1 cup red grapes, halved 1 cup mayonnaise 1/2 cup no-calorie granular sweetener In large bowl, combine broccoli, bacon and grapes. In small bowl, stir together mayonnaise and sweetener. Add to broccoli mixture. Lightly toss until coated.

Bacon-Cheese Biscuit Bites Yield: 20 appetizers 4 ounces cream cheese, softened 1 egg 1 tablespoon milk 1/3 cup real bacon bits 1/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese 1 tablespoon dried minced onion 1 large plum tomato, seeded and finely chopped, divided 1 tube (10.2 ounces) large refrigerated flaky biscuits In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, egg and milk until blended. Stir in the bacon, cheese, onion and half of the tomato; set aside. Cut each biscuit into four pieces; press each piece into a greased miniature muffin cup. Fill with cream cheese mixture; top with remaining tomato. Bake at 375 degrees F. for 14 to 16 minutes or until golden brown.

Yield: 2 servings 3 cups torn mixed salad greens 8 cherry tomatoes, halved 6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled 3 tablespoons chopped sweet pickles 1/4 cup cubed Monterey Jack cheese 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1/2 cup French salad dressing In a salad bowl, toss the greens, tomatoes, bacon, pickles and cheese. In a small bowl or pitcher, combine mayonnaise and French dressing; serve with the salad.

Oh, bacon. It’s the essence of breakfast. The smell alone makes you starving. Whether you pan-fry the old school way or have figured out the sheet pan method in the oven, bacon by the pound is the “pantry” staple of the meat drawer -- served for breakfast, in sandwiches for lunch, in a main course for dinner, or wrapped in something crisp and luscious as an appetizer. You may choose turkey bacon or its heavier cousin, pork, but having bacon on hand makes meals a tasty event. Here are some ideas you might want to try.

grill. Coat a large sheet of foil with cooking spray. Use a paring knife to trim away any leaves and protruding stem from the bottom of the cauliflower. Be careful not to cut into the head; you want it to remain intact. In a shallow bowl large enough to fit the overturned head of cauliflower, whisk together the almond flour, egg, mustard, water, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, pepper and hot sauce. Overturn the cau-

liflower into the bowl, turning and moving it to coat it as completely as possible with the mixture. Set the head of cauliflower right side up on the prepared foil. Spoon any of the almond flour mixture remaining in the bowl over the cauliflower, making sure it is evenly coated. Set the cauliflower (on the foil) on the cooler side of the grill. Cover the grill and cook for 1 hour, or until lightly browned outside and tender inside (you can

check by inserting a paring knife at the center). Let the cauliflower cool for 5 minutes, then slice into wedges as you would a pie.

By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press Looking for ways to jazz up your basic fruit salad this summer? Consider giving it a hit from the savory side of the food world. It’s not something we often think of, but ingredients we generally consider savory or spicy can provide a delicious contrast when added to a sweet and juicy fruit salad. Where to start? Something as simple as thinly sliced fresh basil adds a peppery bite to a salad of strawberries, watermelon and grapes. For even more bite, consider adding very thinly sliced jalapeno peppers. The best way to do this is to slice a fresh pepper in half, scrape out the seeds and ribs, then

use a mandoline to slice the chili paper-thin. Mix into the salad for a great sweet-andheat blend. And no matter what savory element you add, make sure to also add a pinch of salt. It won’t make the salad tasty salty, but it will highlight the natural sweetness of the fruit.

ADVICE 5

Young couple’s use of birth Red or brown urine should control is long past overdue be checked by your doctor Dear Abby: My 19-yearold son has been dating the daughter of one of my friends I’ll call “Mona.” We didn’t set them up; they met at some parties. Last summer, we discovered they were having sex because “Meghan” thought she was pregnant. Luckily, it turned out she wasn’t. They broke up, but have gotten back together recently. When I asked Mona if she was putting Meghan on birth control, Mona said she wouldn’t because “that would be letting her know it’s OK to have sex.” I said, “Better safe than sorry!” and we left it at that. I let my son use my car last weekend and found an opened box of emergency contraception on the floor. Because my son never answers his phone, I called Meghan and stressed to her that unprotected sex is irresponsible, and that they aren’t ready for a baby. I warned her to take precautions and get on birth control, and I helped her to make the arrangements.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Was it wrong to discuss this behind her mother’s back? Should I tell Mona after promising Meghan I wouldn’t say anything? What should I do? – Mom Versus Friend Dear Mom: Wrong? You deserve a medal. And you now should have the conversation with your son that you should have had before the first pregnancy scare, stressing to him the importance of using condoms not only to protect himself and Meghan from an unplanned pregnancy, but also a sexually transmitted disease if she isn’t the only girl he’s having sex with. Girls don’t get pregnant all by themselves. As to telling your friend Mona, who seems to have the parental insight of an ostrich where her daughter is concerned, keep your promise to Meghan and your lips sealed. Meghan needs a woman she can confide in, and your

friend seems to prefer living in fantasyland rather than giving her daughter the support and guidance she needs. Dear Abby: I live in Colorado. In my state, marijuana is legal now. What do you think about my inviting my adult children (they are all older than 21) and my aging dad to get stoned with me? I think it might stimulate conversation and motivate more family time than we spend together now. What do you think of “family night” with marijuana as a way to improve family unity? – Original Thinker

In Denver Dear Original Thinker: Were you stoned when you wrote this? If not, I think it’s sad your family would need pot to communicate or create family unity. While I applaud your desire to bring your family together, you can have a good time without inviting “Mary Jane.” And that’s what I’d recommend. • Write Dear Abby at www.

dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Dear Dr. K: I sometimes have dark, strong-smelling urine. Should I be concerned? Dear Reader: Since this happens only occasionally, it probably is not something to worry about. But before reassuring you, I would need answers to some questions: • By dark, do you mean dark yellow? Or is your urine brown or red? If your urine is just a dark yellow color at times, especially when you don’t drink enough fluids, then you don’t need to worry. Dark yellow urine is a sign of dehydration. Your urine is dark because your kidneys are doing what they are supposed to do when you are dehydrated: conserving water by making less urine. If this is the case, drink more water – eight 8-ounce glasses each day. Certain foods and medicines can change urine color and make it smell. Asparagus is a good example of a food that causes your urine to take on a distinct odor. Eating beets can turn your urine red and make you worry that you might have blood in your urine.

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff There are times when a change in the color or smell of your urine warrants a visit to your doctor. For example, see your doctor if your urine is ever red (unless you’ve eaten beets in the past 24 to 48 hours) or brown. This could be a sign of something serious, such as a bladder, kidney, blood or liver problem. • Does it hurt when you urinate? Do you have pain high up on one (or both) sides of your back, weakness, fatigue or fever? If so, you should see your doctor. You could be having intermittent bacterial infections of your urinary tract. Usually, such infections don’t turn urine dark – unless they cause temporary bleeding – but they can. Urinary tract infections often cause pain when you urinate. Other symptoms include having to urinate often and feeling a pressure to urinate. • Have the whites of your

eyes turned yellow? If so, you could be having liver trouble. When the liver is not working properly, increased amounts of a dark pigment (bilirubin) appear in the blood and in the urine. Your doctor can check your liver function with blood tests. If you’re concerned, collect a fresh urine sample when you have dark urine. Bring the urine sample to the doctor within a few hours after collecting it. The doctor will be able to test the urine for blood cells (looking for both bleeding and infection). The urine also can be tested to see if the kidneys are conserving water, as they do when you get dehydrated. Finally, the urine can be tested for chemicals that turn the urine dark, such as bilirubin. To test for a bacterial infection, it’s best to provide a fresh urine sample collected in a sterile container at the doctor’s office. • Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

Shades of Green Salad AP photo

Salad loses the leafy greens (plus 30 minutes marinating) Servings: 6

By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press With salad season in full swing, it’s inevitable that you soon will be sick of your go-to mix of greens. Doesn’t matter if you favor romaine or Boston, herbed mixes or arugula, or even old-school iceberg. In short order, the idea of yet another bowl of greens will simply seem depressing and uninspiring. So we decided to create a green salad that will keep you coming back for more. And not a single leafy green is harmed in the making of this meal. We combine fresh green beans, asparagus, snow peas and zucchini for a fresh and delicious take on a notso-basic green salad. For good measure, we also pile on some fresh dill and avocado slices. And since we already were mixing things up, we created a zippy orange-Dijon vinaigrette to tie everything together.

Shades of Green Salad Start to finish: 20 minutes active

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice water and have it near the stove. Add the green beans to the boiling water and blanch for 1 to 2 minutes, or until crisp-tender and bright green. Use a slotted spoon to quickly transfer them from the

Transfer the asparagus to the ice water with the green beans. Once they have cooled, drain the green beans and asparagus, pat them dry and transfer to a large bowl. Add the snow peas and zucchini. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, shallot, orange zest and juice, vinegar and mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and stir gently to coat well. For best flavor, allow the vegetables to marinate in the dressing for at least 30 minutes. Serve topped with sliced avocado, grated manchego cheese, sprigs of dill and a drizzle of honey.

CRYSTAL LAKE – The Monkey Joe’s location in Crystal Lake has closed. The children’s inflatable play center at 6250 Route 14 was shuttered earlier this year. A spokesperson for the company said each location is individually owned.

Monkey Joe’s has Illinois locations in Fairview Heights, Rockford, Peoria and Wheaton, according to its website.

Vapor Lounge owner Justin Dickson (left) talks with Casey Brennan of Woodstock while he exhales apple pie-flavored vapor inside the recently opened Crystal Lake store. The store will soon have an electronic hookah lounge.

Vapor business grows E-cigarette shops pop up throughout McHenry County By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – In opening a new electronic cigarette and hookah lounge, a Crystal Lake man said he was joining what he calls “a revolution.” Vapor Place, 119 N. Main St., Crystal Lake, opened its doors July 1. For those 18 and older, the new business offers a bar and lounge for e-cigarette and e-hookah smokers. For Justin Dickson and wife, Sarah, the process to open up shop moved quickly – the lease was signed just two weeks before opening day. However, the act that prompted the endeavor came in February after a personal discovery by Justin Dickson. “I smoked for 20-some years,” he said, “then I picked up an electronic cigarette and never touched a [traditional] cigarette again.” E-cigarettes are battery-powered devices in which a coil heats up a liquid solution – e-liquid – to produce a water vapor. There are e-liquids of many flavors, some that contain nicotine, and some that don’t. “Zero-nicotine [options] account for about half our sales,” Justin Dickson said, standing in front of the various e-liquid flavors. The act of smoking e-cigarettes is referred to by many as “vaping,” he and Sarah Dickson said, adding it’s a fad that has been growing since the early- to mid-2000s. As of 2011, about 6 percent of all adults in the U.S. had tried e-cigarettes, according to a 2013 report by the Center for Disease Control. Justin Dickson said he noticed local interest as other places began opening in recent years – VapeTech Inc. opened about a year ago in the

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – What you study – math and science are a plus – seems to matter more than whether your alma mater is public or private when it comes to finding a high-paying job after college, according to a report released Tuesday by the Education Department. The survey of the class of 2008, by the National Center for Education Statistics, provides an interesting snapshot of the nation’s educated elite following a crushing economic recession: Overall, college grads reported lower unemployment rates compared with the national average, although black and Asian college graduates were twice as likely to be out of work than their white classmates. College grads from private four-year schools earned about the same as those from public four-year schools, about $50,000 a year. But while a paltry 16 percent of students took home degrees in science, technology, engineering or math, or STEM disciplines, those who did were paid significantly better – averaging $65,000 a year compared with $49,500 of graduates of other degrees. The findings are based on a survey of 17,110 students conducted in 2012, about four years after the students obtained their bachelor’s degrees.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Fourteen Texas Roadhouse restaurants in Illinois, including the recently opened Crystal Lake restaurant, are teaming up with law enforcement officers for a benefit lunch July 25 for Special Olympics Illinois. Local officers will serve a “free” lunch of a limited menu from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Diners are asked to leave a donation at their table, all of which will benefit the nearly 21,500 athletes with intellectual disabilities and more than 18,500 Young Athletes (ages 2-7) of Special Olympics Illinois, according to a news release. The Crystal Lake restaurant at 835 Cog Circle is participating.

Liquid nicotine products for sale inside Vapor Lounge in Crystal Lake. Huntley Outlet Center, and Vapor Hut opened in February, to name a few. Owner of Vapor Hut Frank Angiulo said demand has been high enough for him to start planning more locations. He has stores in Crystal Lake and Algonquin so far, but plans to open several more in Schaumburg, Elmwood Park and Chicago. The electronic smoking business, he said, is booming. “The customer reception has just been amazing,” Angiulo said, adding he’s seen customers reduce their nicotine-intake to zero, in time. For Sarah Dickson, that was the purpose of opening Vapor Place. “I don’t smoke, and I never have,” she said. “I wanted to see people stop smoking, and I saw this as a way to do that.” “It’s like a revolution against to-

bacco,” Justin Dickson added. Medical experts across the country have debated the effects of e-cigarettes, which, as an industry, is still largely unregulated. The Federal Drug Administration is spending $270 million on research projects to determine the effects and possible risks related to the devices, according to a July Reuters report. Damion Clai, owner of VapeTech Inc., opened his store after smoking the electronic devices for five years. It won’t always stop people from smoking traditional cigarettes, which have long been proven bad for the body, he said, but as far as crossing people over, he considers it a step in the right direction. “I was smoking about a pack a day,” Clai said. “So it definitely doesn’t solve a problem completely, but if you can cut down, that’s still something.”

Survey finds math, science grads earn top dollar By ANNE FLAHERTY

Local Texas Roadhouse to host benefit lunch

The survey found a strong correlation between earning money and highly specialized degrees. More than 95 percent of grads who studied computer and information sciences, for example, were employed fulltime at the time of the survey and earned $72,600 on average. Engineering students reported similar job and salary prospects. That’s compared with a humanities graduate who was more likely to report working multiple jobs and earn a full-time salary averaging only $43,100. The report also pointed to a correlation between being white or Asian and male and having a higher salary. Asian graduates reported earning more than other ethnicities, averaging $62,500 in full-time jobs compared with $47,300 earned by Hispanics, $48,800 by blacks and $52,400 by whites. Likewise, male grads reported earning more – $57,800 on average – than their female classmates in full-time jobs, who averaged $47,400. The study doesn’t explain the disparities in pay, which could be attributed to different fields of study. C.N. Le, a sociologist at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, said Asian students are gravitating toward career fields in math, science and technology that are initially higher paying, which likely explains the higher average salaries by Asian grads. But they might be facing the

higher unemployment rates – almost 12 percent compared with 5.5 percent of white graduates – because of visa issues or policies by American businesses favoring U.S. citizens. According to the Pew Research Center, nearly three-quarters of Asian-American adults were born abroad. Le said there also is a “glass-ceiling effect” in the math, science and technology fields. “In a lot of cases, STEM jobs have fewer promotion ladders than other positions” in areas like finance or advertising, he said. Black college grads faced a similar unemployment rate of almost 12 percent, while 8.5 percent of Hispanic grads were out of work, according to the survey. The Education Department doesn’t surmise why that might be, although one liberalleaning research group says racism still plagues minority graduates. “The Great Recession has been hard on all recent college graduates, but it has been even harder on black recent graduates,” the Center for Economic and Policy Research concluded in a study it released in May. Among other findings in the report: • The average unemployment rate among the graduates was 6.7 percent,

NEW YORK – U.S. drugmaker AbbVie has boosted its offer for Shire by 11 percent to about $51.3 billion, hoping it will be enough to pique the interest of its British counterpart. Shire, known for its rare-disease drugs, has rejected three AbbVie offers to date. North Chicago-based AbbVie is now making an unsolicited offer of 51.15 British pounds ($87.57) per Shire PLC share in cash and stock. Its prior bid was worth about 46.26 pounds ($79.20) per share for a total value of 27 billion pounds ($46.2 billion). AbbVie said its revised proposal also increases the ownership held by Shire shareholders to about 24 percent of the new holding company. It previously offered about 23 percent ownership. Shire said in a statement it did not get a look at AbbVie’s revised proposal before the company’s announcement. Shire said its board will meet to consider the bid and that it will make a further announcement “in due course.”

Companies post most jobs in 7 years in May WASHINGTON – U.S. employers advertised more jobs in May than in any month in the past seven years, a sign that this year’s strong hiring trend is likely to continue. More Americans also quit their jobs, a good sign because it usually occurs when workers find new and higherpaying jobs. It also opens up more positions for those out of work. Employers posted 4.64 million jobs, a 3.8 percent increase from April’s total of 4.46 million, the Labor Department said Tuesday. That’s the fourth straight strong gain and is the highest number since June 2007. The figures come after last week’s healthy jobs report and underscore this year’s steady improvement in hiring. Employers added a net total of 288,000 jobs in June, the government said last week.

Crumbs shows dangers of focusing on single product By CANDICE CHOI The Associated Press NEW YORK – Turns out, being a one-hit wonder is risky. When Crumbs, the New York City-based chain that built its business around cupcakes, shuttered several dozen of its remaining locations Monday, it seemed like an abrupt ending for a company that opened a decade ago to ride the wave of popularity of the sugary treat sparked by the TV series Sex and The City. But Crumbs’ rise and fall isn’t surprising when considering the company’s dependence on a fad. In fact, it’s the latest cautionary tale for oneitem restaurants and other chains that devote their entire menus to variations of a single product. • Krispy Kreme, for instance, expanded rapidly in large part on the cult-like following of its doughnuts. But sales started declining and the company ended up closing locations. Last year, restaurant industry researcher Technomic said Krispy Kreme had 249 locations, down from 338 a decade ago. The chain has broadened its menu more recently. • A similar fate befell Mrs. Fields, which is known for its cookies. The chain has suffered in part because of the ubiquity of places that sell cookies, and it was down to 230 stores last year, from 438 a decade ago. • TCBY had 355 stores last year, down from 1,413 a decade ago. Part of the chain’s problem is the competition, given the proliferation of frozen yogurt places.

Crumbs is shuttering all its stores, a week after the struggling cupcake shop operator was delisted from the Nasdaq. Companies that only offer one item can fall victim to a number of risks. For one, trendy products tend to attract competition from big and small players that want to jump on the bandwagon. For instance, Starbucks and Cold Stone Creamery have been trying to capitalize on the cupcake trend with cake pops and

Unemployment rates were very low for students who studied computer and information sciences or engineering, but jump for those with degrees in social sciences or general humanities. • Most graduates avoided marriage and kids in the four years after obtaining a degree. Only 19.6 percent reported having both. • The average salary of students graduating from

ways the danger that fickle customers will move on to the next thing. “A cupcake shop today can’t survive on just cupcakes,” said Darren Tristano, a Technomic analyst. To combat the risks, many chains diversify their menus. And several have prospered by moving beyond their flagship products.

ice cream cupcakes, respectively. Being beholden to a single item also makes companies more susceptible to customers’ whims and changing tastes. There’s always a new fad. Frozen yogurt. Chopped salads. Freshly squeezed juices. Entrepreneurs may be eager to open stores selling these products, but there’s al-

Dunkin’ Donuts, for instance, has been pushing aggressively into specialty drinks and sandwiches, with a focus on boosting sales after its morning rush hour. And Starbucks has introduced a range of new foods and drinks in its cafes, including premium bottled juices and salad boxes. The coffee chain even plans to expand wine and beer offering in evenings to as many as 1,000 locations over the next several years. Magnolia, another popular New York City cupcake shop, is credited for sparking the cupcake craze after it was featured in Sex and the City. The chain, which opened in 1996, has endured while many of the cupcake shops that opened up in its wake – including Crumbs – focused on just cupcakes. That’s in part because Magnolia, which now has 7 locations, offers a variety of desserts, including cakes, pies, cookies, brownies and banana pudding. Sara Gramling, Magnolia’s spokeswoman, said the company is learning about the dangers of focusing too heavily on one product, as well as expanding too quickly. “We’ll be mindful of those lessons,” she said. Still, some chains manage to persevere by carving out a niche where there aren’t many competitors; Auntie Anne’s and Cinnabon have expanded locations over the years. As for Crumbs, the company noted in a statement late Monday that it was evaluating its “limited remaining options.” That will include a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing.

The trade group for taxi cab drivers said that Uber is just lowering prices to knock out the competition and will later increase its fee. Ethan Gerber, executive director of the Greater New York Taxi Association, added in a statement that yellow taxis are “the most reliable, most regulated cabs” and that Uber’s sale is “more about generating publicity then building a solid product.” Founded in 2009, Uber connects cars with passengers though its GPS-enabled smartphone app. Many of its drivers have black Lincoln Town Cars

for-profit four-year institutions was slightly higher than their nonprofit counterparts: $62,900 compared with $50,700 for public school grads and $53,700 for private school grads. But the unemployment rate among for-profit schools was higher at 12 percent, compared with the 6.2 percent graduating from public schools. These disparities could be attributed to the types of students who attend forprofit schools. Often highly specialized, for-profit schools often attract students who already have work experience but lost a job or want to earn more money.

NEW YORK – The car-hailing service Uber is taking on New York City’s taxis, temporarily dropping some of its prices by 20 percent. The company says the price of its UberX lower-end service is now cheaper than the rate charged by the city’s famous yellow cabs. For instance, a ride from Grand Central Terminal to the financial district would now cost about $22, down from $28 before the sale. Uber said a similar ride in a yellow taxi costs $24. The sale in the nation’s largest city – one heavily dependent on taxis – comes after similar temporary reductions in the past month in Atlanta,

or SUVs and compete with traditional limo or car service companies where passengers make a phone call to arrange a ride. Uber users instead verify their location on a smartphone map, request a car, see how many minutes away it is and then track its progress as it drives to their location. The San Francisco-based company also offers a cheaper car service called UberX. The run-of-the-mill sedans and minivans passengers jump in lack the luster of the shiny black Town Cars but come at a lower cost. That service is the one now on sale. The discounts range from 20 to 25 percent, depending on the city. The lower fares do not factor in Uber’s “surge pricing” – a different rate that is charged

when there is great demand for cars. For instance during heavy rain or snowstorms or busy holidays like Halloween or New Year’s Eve, Uber might double or triple its rates in some neighborhoods. Besides traditional taxis and car services, Uber competes with other smartphonebased car services like Sidecar and Lyft, which is entering the New York market this week. The car services also have found resistance from taxi regulators in cities like Washington and New York and from the airport authority in Los Angeles. Uber also has been sued in San Francisco by the family of a 6-year-old girl killed after being struck by an Uber driver while she was in a crosswalk.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

Simone de Beauvoir, a French writer, said, “I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for truth -- and truth rewarded me.” At the bridge table, the truth is that we love certainties -- lines of play or defense that are guaranteed to work. In this deal, is there a way for South to make sure of six no-trump, given that clubs are not breaking 5-0? South’s two-diamond rebid was fourth-suit gameforcing. When North bid four hearts, he showed a minimum opening bid. With extras he would have control-bid (cuebid) four clubs. South signed off in six no-trump to protect his diamond holding, expecting North’s values to be in his long suits. Declarer starts with 10 top tricks: two spades, ive hearts, one diamond and two clubs. His plan should be to win four club tricks -- but how? The club nine in South’s hand makes getting four tricks a near-certainty. After winning the irst trick with his

spade ace, declarer should play a club to dummy’s ace, then return a low club and cover East’s eight with his nine. Here, that ends South’s problems. But if his nine were to lose to the 10, the suit would be splitting 3-2 and the contract would be home. Finally, if East shows out on the second round of clubs, declarer wins with his king and leads back through West’s queen up to North’s jack. Note that six hearts can be made by taking the same safety-play.

Reviving some of your innovative ideas from the past will prove to be very lucrative. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Share your thoughts with the people you most enjoy being around. A night out with friends or a quiet evening discussing plans with someone you love will be satisfying. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Stand up to anyone putting demands on you. Backing down will make you frustrated and angry, and give whoever you are dealing with the go-ahead to continue treating you poorly. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Hard work brings results, but every once in a while you need to take a break and have some laughs. Make plans to do something fun with friends, family or a loved one.

This will improve your relationship and ensure that you will still be able to count on this person in the future. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be mindful of what you say in the workplace. Rumors and innuendos can damage your reputation. Even the most innocent remark can and will be used against you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don’t worry about what others think. Someone you work with may be jealous of your abilities, but don’t let that hold you back. Pursue your goals and your interests.

A change is as good as a rest. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You will run out of steam if you don’t slow down. You need to pace yourself Difficulties with an elderly relative or child will try your patience. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Romance is in the air.
