Nunda audit reveals lax oversight Road district had ‘lack of internal controls’ dealing with Senior Services grant funding By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com An audit of how the Nunda Township Road District spent grant money for its senior bus program revealed sloppy bookkeeping and lax oversight but no outright misappropriation of funds. The eight-page August 2013 audit by McHenry County government’s

internal auditor uncovered 13 findings of shortcomings in examining funds received over a two-year period from the Senior Services Grant Commission. “The following findings show lack of internal controls, issues with collection and deposits of bus receipts, inadequate documentation, and an audit opinion for the financial statements for FY 2011 that had limited

mission exists to distribute about $1.7 million a year from a levy approved in a 2002 referendum to agencies that provide services to senior citizens. Nunda’s road district received $15,000 in grant money in 2012, and was supposed to receive $14,595 in 2013. It only received $7,923 that year because the county stopped payments until further notice.

The audit period covered the district’s 2012 and 2013 allocation years, during the final two years the district was run by longtime highway commissioner Don Kopsell – his wife, Donna, was his secretary and kept the paperwork. Donna Kopsell, however, calls much of the work by the office of

Annette Gustafson of Fox River Grove signs her name to the final beam Tuesday before it was raised at the future North Pavilion at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington. The beam was covered in signatures and sayings from associates and community members before the raising event.

Hospital construction on target Technology, updates highlighted at final beam raising By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com BARRINGTON – Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital supporters and staff are quick to celebrate any construction milestone in their yearslong, $247 million modernization project. A ceremony Tuesday marked the signing and raising of the final steel beam for the exterior portion of the project. The beam was placed on the top corner of a newly erected 208,000-square-foot building on the north end of the hospital. Hospital president Karen Lambert said the north building has been “a dream and vision” for about seven years. “We’ve always been focused on ‘what we need,’ ” Lambert said. “What we need is private rooms.” Once all exterior and interior construction is complete in 2017, every patient will have privacy. The hospital will increase its bed count from 169 to 176. Interior construction began last October. A new chapel, administrative department and temporary west entry are now complete. This fall,

A view of the North Pavilion on Tuesday at Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington. the hospital will have a renovated testing center and an expanded gastrointestinal suite. Larry Arndt, general manager of health care for the project’s contractor, Mortenson Construction, said exterior work is on schedule for completion. “We started building the foundation for the north building in April

and the weather has been great this summer,” Arndt said. “We’ve even been able to pour concrete through recent rain.” Arndt said the north building will be ready to house patients in January 2016 when a new two-story glass atrium entry will be complete on the hospital’s south side. Earlier this summer, elevator

shafts went up on the north building. Tuesday’s final beam was signed by the hospital’s governing council, engineers, planners, construction workers, physicians and volunteers before its lift. Project director Allison Wyler said this was the hospital’s first beam signing. A groundbreaking ceremony was held about a year ago. “You’ve got to celebrate the major milestones with a project of this size,” Wyler said. Wyler said the main goal is to “co-locate” services, making hospital visits convenient for both in- and outpatients. About 1,300 associates are employed at the hospital – a number Lambert said she doesn’t expect to change. “I don’t foresee additional hires,” Lambert said. “We are already at high patient occupancy now and will have more flexibility with all-private rooms. We won’t have to close off half a room when patients require isolation and waste that space.” Lambert said the hospital updates will allow staff to bring tests

At the request of local legislators, the Attorney General’s Office had been looking into why the village has remained close for nearly a month. “There is the misconception that no one was working,” Funk said. “Our clerks have been working, but the doors are locked because we have no safety precautions in place.” Peter Goldman, chief of police for Oakwood Hills, said the security plan will include an on-duty officer in Village Hall that will check visitors as they enter – similar to a courthouse procedure. During the Village Hall shutdown that started the first weekend in August, Funk said many services continued including police operations and the building department supervisor as he does not require Village Hall to be open. Funk also noted that trustees have been available by email and phone. Oakwood Hills officials decided to suspend Village Hall hours in early August after Funk initially cited threats made to officials during public meetings on a proposed $450 million power plant that drew strong opposition. No documented cases of threats existed, which inspired state. Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, and state Sen. Dan Duffy, R-Lake Barrington, to ask the Illinois Attorney General to investigate the situation. The Illinois Attorney General wrote a letter to village leaders Friday asking them to reopen the facility to the public. The next Village Board meeting is scheduled for Sept. 4 while the next hearing involving the power plant proposal is set for Oct. 9.

Complete Streets offers many benefits Many of us care about McHenry County and want to make it a better place to live. Fortunately, many of us also are willing to work together to make it happen. Take for instance a new partnership between area municipalities and the McHenry County Department of Health to implement the Complete Streets program. The city of Woodstock and the villages of Algonquin and Lakemoor have adopted the policies, which aim to give residents more transportation choices by increasing accessibility and safety on roadways. “We are working as a community to help our residents stay healthy,” health department spokeswoman Debra Quackenbush said. The idea behind Complete Streets is simple: encourage towns to make their streets usable by everyone, including those who do not drive, such as children, seniors and people with disabilities. Some of the ways to do that are to add bike lanes and sidewalks, marked crosswalks, countdown timers at

LOTTERY

VIEWS Joan Oliver crossings, increased lighting and raised median islands, according to the Active Transportation Alliance. “This provides a safer environment,” health educator Keeley Gallaugher said. “Not everyone in McHenry County has a car. Some are forced to stay home or go out and make unsafe choices.” Research has shown drivers look out more when they see bike lanes on streets, Gallaugher said. Pedestrian crashes also have decreased in communities that use bump-out curbs. There’s also an economic incentive for towns to adopt pedestrianand bike-friendly strategies, health educator Rachel Mintle said. Towns that have more sidewalks and bike lanes are seen as more desirable, increasing property values, she said. Likewise, more foot traffic can mean more business. “Businesses will want to rent

those spaces,” Mintle said. Complete Streets communities also are healthier, with more people walking and biking to places rather than jumping into their cars for quick trips. “People not only have the environment to get around, but that they use it,” health educator Rachel Wyss said. Not only do sidewalks help seniors and those with disabilities get to grocery stores and doctor’s appointments, but they also create a safe environment for children to walk to school and families to get out into the community. “We know that people are sitting more,” Wyss said. “This creates another way to get moving without taking additional time out of the day. This makes it a part of their routine.” So there’s a benefit of combating obesity, too. Best of all, the Complete Streets program doesn’t have to cost a lot of money, Mintle said. Towns can do little things, such as adding a bike lane when they repave an existing road, or simply repaint-

ing crosswalks. The idea isn’t to replace cars entirely, but to increase walkability in our neighborhoods. “We’ll still drive to work,” Wyss said, “but when we’re home with the children, we’ll walk to dinner as opposed to driving five minutes.” That’s not only good for the waistline, but also good for the pocketbook. The hope is the success of towns that have signed on to Complete Streets will prompt others to join the movement as well. “We would like other community leaders to take the example of Woodstock, Algonquin and Lakemoor,” Quackenbush said. “This makes good sense.” To learn more about Complete Streets, visit www.activetrans.org or contact the health department at 815-334-4510.

jbustos@shawmedia.com FOX RIVER GROVE – School District 3 is planning an $8.1 million operating budget for this school year. The budget, however, has a projected slight deficit, which might not come to fruition. Superintendent Tim Mahaffy said the district is projecting a 1.07 percent shortfall, or roughly $104,000. “When all is said and done, I think we’ll be balanced,” Mahaffy said. “We have to cushion [for] the district’s special education costs.” The school board is scheduled to vote on the district

budget next month. Mahaffy said the district in fiscal 2013-14 projected a 5.48 percent deficit. But finances were better, and the district ran a 3.51 percent deficit. “If we can have the same type of experience that we had last year, when it wasn’t all rosy, I think we’re going to have a balanced budget, if not in the end have a little bit of a surplus,” Mahaffy said during a recent board meeting. Last year the district received five categorical grant payments for items such as transportation and special education. The fifth payment ended up being a windfall as the state was caught up with payments. “They’ve always been behind for the longest time,” Mahaffy said.

Tim Mahaffy District 3 superintendent The same isn’t expected this time, and the district is only budgeting for three categorical grant payments at $73,900 each. The budget includes a 3 percent increase to the base salary for certified staff members. The district is down one full-time equivalent certified staff member and two noncer-

tified FTE staff members from last year. Leading up to the school year, the district installed a new phone system and rehabbed the boys restroom at the middle school. The washroom repairs were done by district staff, which saved $15,000 to $20,000 in labor costs, Mahaffy said. The budget plan includes abating money later in the year from the tax levy, but that is a decision that still needs to be made. “If we don’t abate, we’ll be balanced,” Mahaffy said. The school district this year has just under 490 students, which includes 22 students who are placed out of district for special education

The McHenry County Board of Health has selected its candidate to supervise the health department. The decision came Monday evening after the health board and county staff interviewed two finalists for county public health administrator. Health board members and county government staff are coming up with an employment offer, and the candidate will be revealed once the offer is accepted, health department spokeswoman Debra Quackenbush said in a statement. The role of public health administrator has been vacant since Patrick McNulty retired at the end of May. About 12 finalists were chosen from a pool of 55 applicants. The health department oversees a $7 million budget – a balance of grants, local taxes and fees – and 135 full-time-equivalent employees, according to its 2013 annual report. Its responsibilities include restaurant inspections, animal control, monitoring disease outbreaks, health education and administering the federal Women, Infants and Children nutrition assistance program. State law gives the health board discretion over hiring and firing employees. The County Board appoints the health board and has discretion over the department’s budget. McNulty, who worked at the health department for 35 years, was appointed administrator in 2001. Personnel and Administration Manager Joseph Gugle has been acting as interim administrator until a successor is named.

Addendum to original audit Hospital still active in fundraising released by county auditor • HOSPITAL

Continued from page A1

Continued from page A1 County Auditor Pam Palmer inaccurate, and alleges her office disregarded a rebuttal and other records she submitted that she says clears her name. The audit was conducted after the Kopsells left, with the cooperation of the road district’s newly hired operations manager. “[The audit] was based on the wrong information, and misinterpretation of the bus schedule,” Donna Kopsell said. While the amounts audited are minor as far as county government goes, the allegations have a political dimension to them, given that Don Kopsell is in the running for a County Board seat after winning the March GOP primary. The Northwest Herald attempted to obtain a copy of the audit from the county under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, but the County Board voted earlier this month, 14-8, to keep it sealed. The newspaper obtained the audit and her four-page rebuttal Monday from Donna Kopsell, after the Illinois Attorney General’s Office ruled that a separate FOIA request to the township itself filed by a local blogger must be honored. The audit found a number of discrepancies between records kept and money received or paid. For example, it alleged that, at one dollar a ride, the township should have collected $2,600 in 2012, but collected $1,100 less. In other instances, it identified repair and vehicle insurance expenses unsupported by documentation. The most significant finding concluded that fuel costs in 2012 could not be supported by documentation – six

“[The audit] was based on the wrong information, and misinterpretation of the bus schedule.” Donna Kopsell on the Nunda Township audit months were overreported by $800 – and the information kept on computer was deleted after the February 2013 primary in which Don Kopsell lost his re-election bid after 16 years in office to present Highway Commissioner Mike Lesperance. Destruction of public records violates the Local Records Act. Donna Kopsell responded in her rebuttal that the allegations are untrue. She said hard copies of all invoices were kept in the supervisor’s office, and the fuel records are still on the turnkey fuel system used by the township fleet. She also alleges that much of the audit’s findings are based on a misreading of bus logs. Her written rebuttal concedes some allegations are valid, such as submitting all four quarterly reports for 2012 in December and making an error in one quarter of payroll calculations. Palmer countered the allegation that she ignored Donna Kopsell’s rebuttal, and Tuesday afternoon released a December 2013 addendum to the original audit that addresses the data Donna Kopsell provided, but concludes all findings of fact are still valid. While Palmer had fought with the County Board to keep the audit private to protect what she called the integrity of the process, she said she is obligated to release the addendum to defend the audit, now that it has been made public.

and procedures to patients’ bedsides, in addition to guests being able to stay overnight with family members. Also being modernized are the hospital’s radiology, ambulatory care, cardiovascular and pulmonary centers; labs, operating rooms, visitors’ areas, lobby and conference centers. Arndt said the update is a “fun, challenging project” for Mortenson’s 200-person crew. Construction has been night and day, Arndt said, adding that noise is monitored to ensure patients aren’t woken in their sleep. When asked about new bed-

“I stand by the integrity of our original report,” Palmer said. Donna Kopsell also questioned the fight over the audit’s release, calling it an attempt at political payback on the part of County Board member Nick Provenzano aimed at sinking her husband’s Republican candidacy for a County Board seat. Provenzano fought for months to get the audit made public through a board vote. The Kopsells backed his opponent, fellow board member Mary McClellan, in the March GOP primary for county clerk. McClellan won and is running unopposed in November. “We did not support Nick Provenzano for county clerk, and he’s out to embarrass us and make us look bad, hoping it will affect the County Board election in November,” Donna Kopsell said. Provenzano, R-McHenry, called the allegation ridiculous, and said his motivation has been open and transparent accounting of how the government spends taxpayer funds. He pointed out that the Finance and Audit Committee, of which he is a member, recommended the audit’s release by a clear majority, and reiterated that the Attorney General concluded the document is a public record. “The finance committee voted, 5-2, to release it because we saw it. We saw it firsthand,” Provenzano said. Donna Kopsell did not allege that the audit itself, done by Palmer’s office at the behest of county staff, was politically motivated. The audit contains recommendations for each of its 13 findings that the road district should meet before Senior Services funding is restored. The district in its responses indicates those changes are being made.

Karen Lambert Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital president side and operating room technology, Arndt estimated the construction cost is just a fraction of the multimillion-dollar modernization plan with technology upgrades as the bulk of the expense. “Almost every update includes technology,” Arndt said. “Every patient’s room will be called a ‘smart room,’ where

medical records are readily available on electronic viewing screens.” Advocate Health Care is covering the bulk of project costs. The hospital’s project steering committee has set a goal to raise $25 million of the $247 million for modernization. Lambert said more than $20 million has been raised so far, with a fundraising campaign that’s still active. The hospital’s annual gala, scheduled for Sept. 13, will also benefit the project, Lambert said, adding that the project is about more than construction beams. “It’s about the people and the care,” Lambert said. “That’s what enables us to deliver world-class results.”

Cary-Grove had highest composite score • D-155 Continued from page A3 expectations of our learners and challenging them to go beyond their comfort zones,” Thomas said. “The focus is not on the score, it’s on challenging students to take more rigorous coursework. As a byproduct, you get a higher ACT score.” Each high school increased

its composite score from the previous year, with Crystal Lake Central making the biggest leap from 21.3 to 22.3. Cary-Grove High School had the highest composite at 23.8. The Illinois average is 20.7. While it is a student achievement, it also shows the hard work and professionalism of teachers and staff, Thomas said. Teachers and administrators were engaged in a lengthy and at times

contentious contract negotiation, but Thomas said neither teachers nor administrators ever lost sight of the primary goal. “I think there is probably some misconception about some of those difficulties,” Thomas said of the negotiations. “All of the teachers and administrators kept the focus on the students. But it is great to come back and share in those gains.”

Maximum property tax rate has been reached • BUDGET Continued from page A3 needs, Mahaffy said. The district has reached its maximum property tax rate in its education fund and to help cover costs. The district plans to transfer money from other funds. “You’re not able to get what you normally get in the education fund,” Mahaffy said. “You can’t come close to getting what CPI will give you

because of that maximum tax rate.” The district likes to have fund balances of at least 40 percent of its annual expenditures in any given fund. So, the district plans to transfer money from its working cash, operations and maintenance, and transportation funds into its education fund. The other funds would remain healthy. The operations and maintenance fund alone still would have about a year and half worth of savings if

the district wanted to carry out projects, Mahaffy said. “You should not have to worry about tax anticipation warrants anytime soon,” Mahaffy said. School District 3 Board Vice President Gerry Blohm said its important for the district to keep its fund balances healthy. “We haven’t had tax anticipation warrants in five or six years and that was just throwing away thousands and thousands of dollars,” Blohm said.

Man wins Depot Days raffle Collects prize of more than $100K By MATT MENCARINI mmencarini@shawmedia.com AMBOY – Alberto Flores made the 90-minute trip from Huntley to Amboy on Sunday. And on the drive back, he was $107,575 richer. Flores won the 50/50 raffle at Amboy Depot Days. In five years, the winner’s share has increased from $26,717.50 in 2010 to six figures in 2014. When Flores was announced, he was more than 100 yards away and didn’t hear his name, only that the winner was from Huntley, a fact that drew a smattering of boos from the locals. But when his name was repeated, Flores and his friends heard and started to yell. “I literally had the tickets in the trunk of the car,” he said. “The chairs were put away. I was ready to go.” As Flores made his way to the stage to collect his oversized check, the crowd began to cheer. It was his first time at the car show, and he spent $20 on tickets. Some friends he attends car shows with convinced him to go, and the raffle was a strong draw. Earlier in the day, he texted his wife that if he won, they would leave for a vacation. On Saturday, she had been look-

When asked if he’ll make a trip to next year’s Depot Days, his answer was simple: “For sure.” When Sunday’s festivities started, about $96,000 total had already been raised. Last year, when a total of $149,006 was collected, the pot was increasing by about $12,000 an hour. Sunday’s pace was greater, as the $200,000 mark was reached at 2:45 p.m. Hank Gerdes was the man announcing the running tal-

ly over the speakers all day. Each time an additional $500 was collected, an air horn sounded not too far from where he was standing. “It’s annoying,” he said. “But then you think about the fact that it’s going to a good cause.” While half of the $215,150 is going to Flores, the other half stays with the Depot Days Committee. It’s the portion that funds the car show and maintenance at the Depot Museum, but it also makes its way to local organizations as

donations. Gerdes said the Depot Days Committee donated money to 18 organizations last year, many in Amboy and the rest in the surrounding area. The groups included food banks and youth soccer leagues. The committee puts an emphasis on youth-focused groups, Gerdes said. The goal for this year’s 50/50 raffle was $200,000. Next year, for the 25th anniversary, Gerdes said the goal is $250,000. And he’s confident they’ll reach it.

After a traffic stop on the Nissan in the area of Stonegate Road and Robinwood Drive in Algonquin, a Crystal Lake K-9 police officer arrived on the scene and indicated the presence of illegal narcotics in the vehicle. Trina was charged with unlawful delivery of her-

oin, unlawful possession of heroin, unlawful possession of hypodermic syringes and unlawful possession of paraphernalia. The sheriff’s office estimated the street value of the heroin to be about $400. “The HEAT task force members are credited with assisting

in this arrest,” Undersheriff Andrew Zinke said. “Information sharing and community involvement is the key to helping us catch and stop the flow of heroin into McHenry County.” Bond was set at $60,000 and Trina is expected in court Thursday.

SKETCH VIEW

Leadership is lacking in Oakwood Hills As of Tuesday afternoon, Oakwood Hills Village Hall still was closed for business and apparently will remain so until Sept. 2. Village Hall has been closed since Aug. 2 because of reported threats made to village officials over a proposed 430-megawatt, natural gas power plant to be built in Oakwood Hills. Village Hall should be open now. In fact, it should have reopened when it was determined there were no credible or seriFor the record ous threats made against village ofThe entire episode has left us ficials. That would questioning whether current have been at least leadership in the village is up to two weeks ago, the task of running the village. when Oakwood Hills officials confirmed there was no documentation from local authorities relating to threats against village officials. In response to a Freedom of Information Act request seeking police reports documenting any physical, verbal or other kind of threat to any village official, board member or employee between July 1 and Aug. 1, village FOIA officer Cheryl LoSasso said no documentation existed. We know the Illinois Attorney General’s office agrees with us. In a letter dated Aug. 22 and sent to Village President Melanie Funk, Chief Deputy Attorney General Brent Stratton told village officials while the office has no opinion on the zoning process of the proposed power plant or on the seriousness of any threats, the village should resume business with the public. “Even if members of the public continue to express their opposition to the proposed power plant, the village offices themselves could and should be open so that the public can conduct whatever business they have with the village,” Stratton wrote. Stratton wrote the village should open as soon as possible. Funk, in an email Tuesday, said the village wouldn’t open until Sept. 2 so a new security plan could be implemented. She also said despite Village Hall being closed, many services continued, including police operations and the building department supervisor since he does not require Village Hall to be open. Funk noted that trustees have been available by email and phone. The entire episode has left us questioning whether current leadership in the village is up to the task of running the village. From the lack of transparency in the zoning process to closing Village Hall for far too long, village leadership has demonstrated anything but leadership.

ANOTHER VIEW

Youth and e-cigarettes It should surprise no one that the tobacco industry, under siege for years for marketing and selling unhealthy products, found a way around the anti-smoking fervor through a smokeless nicotine delivery system. They’re called electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes. And while they may not be as dangerous as cigarettes (studies are still exploring that issue), most early research indicates they are still harmful and highly addictive. Adults will be left to make their own decisions about the product when credible information is compiled. But it is the potential impact on youths that alarms us. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is working on that and has proposed rules to regulate the product. But there are public officials across America, including Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller, who believe the FDA’s approach is not aggressive enough when it comes to young people and e-cigarettes. We think those officials are right and support their drive to convince the agency to step up its efforts to regulate marketing of the products to protect minors. Zoeller has a unique position in this debate. He is Indiana’s top consumer protection official and, according to his department’s website, serves as the National Association of Attorneys General Tobacco Committee co-chair. In June of this year, Zoeller was appointed to the board of directors of the American Legacy Foundation, a national public health organization dedicated to ending tobacco use in the United States. In conjunction with attorneys general from 28 other states, including Illinois, Zoeller is urging the FDA to step up the fight. “Sadly there is a long history of companies manufacturing and selling tobacco using shrewd marketing techniques designed to push their disease-causing products onto children by getting kids hooked on addictive nicotine,” Zoeller said. Among the group’s proposals are to prohibit “flavors” in new tobacco products and to restrict marketing of e-cigarettes in the same manner as for cigarettes. It also advocates strong health warnings. We applaud Zoeller and his colleagues across the country for providing leadership on this public health issue. We hope the FDA is listening. Tribune-Star (Terre Haute, Indiana)

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

IT’S YOUR WRITE Questions on my mind To the Editor: When my wife and I emigrated to the U.S., we had an American citizen sponsor us, guaranty a job, a place to live and no welfare. We also had a medical exam with an X-ray and all the immunization shots. Over the years, my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren had the immunization shots or were banned by law from school. Lately, thousands of children are streaming across the border without the scrutiny we had to go through. Any and all illegal immigrants can go to any hospital emergency room and ask for or demand treatment. But not our U.S. veterans. They have to go to a VA hospital and wait up to 100 or more days. Some veterans die before they get any treatment. Why can’t our veterans go to any hospital emergency room and receive medical treatment? Why not, Mr. President, senator and representative? Why not, America? Does anybody know? From what I see and hear on TV, nobody knows, nobody is responsible and nobody is guilty. America, do you like to know who is killing our veterans? I surely would like to know. What would happen if we exchange two words – American

veterans with African-Americans? Another thing I see and hear on TV: Conservatives – old people – are called racist, sexist and homophobes. I hope I become a minority soon so I can call other people names. Do you know what the saying “political correctness” is? It is an oxymoron. Peter Jung Huntley

Corporate greed To the Editor: Recently, a concerned letter writer indicated favor and support of “corporate deserters,” suggesting this is an acceptable tax loophole. These corporate deserters – corporate owners, CEOs, presidents – wring out whatever profits they can to proliferate greed, including possible relocation of their corporate structure to foreign countries for tax advantages. I say go. Get out now. Let these foreign countries try to protect your companies and your family the way in which you have prospered and safely grown your family in America. Americans have been blessed with the mightiest military force in our world’s history. We have put boots on the ground in too many God forsaken countries to protect our freedoms,

HOW TO SOUND OFF We welcome original letters on public issues. Letters must include the author’s full name, home address and day and evening telephone numbers. We limit letters to 250 words and one published letter every 30 days. All letters are subject to editing

by sending our youngest and finest into dangerously unsavory, warring conditions. But it is what it is. This requires an obscenely, astronomical amount of money, and that is why you and I and all corporations must pay their fair share. Corporate greed should not be tax deductible. Al Bielsky Holiday Hills

Anderson best candidate To the Editor: Well, U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren has done it again. He is back home in Illinois on vacation after voting against the Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014. Fortunately it passed despite his “no” vote. This is one of those bills the House deals with year after year, tracking needs and money. The federal government is responsible for federal roads, keeping them

safe and secure. Large and small businesses need good highways to be successful. His “no” vote on this bill would have eliminated thousands of jobs for Illinois workers doing the repairing and rebuilding. How do you vote “no” when it is a federal responsibility? Hultgren is an extreme rightwing conservative who doesn’t seem to want the government to work at all. His list of “no” votes is extensive and destructive. He can’t even vote for the normal day-today business of the House. Fortunately we have a candidate, Dennis Anderson, running against him in November. Dennis is smart, thoughtful and aware of the responsibilities of the federal government. You can meet Anderson at any of his town hall meetings. For information, go to www.dennisanderson14.com. Cathy Johnson Marengo

If ISIS attacks again, what will U.S. do? The Obama administration is reportedly considering airstrikes in Syria against the terrorist group ISIS. The New York Times quoted “a top national security adviser” to the president as saying the U.S. is “’not going to be restricted by borders’ to protect its interests.” What about American cities? If ISIS attacks one or more U.S. cities, as it has threatened to do, what then? We can’t bomb ourselves. How would we counter a nosedive in the stock market or the ensuing chaos and fear? The U.S. and Europe are vulnerable because of a false belief that we can somehow “convert” ideological and religious fundamentalists into pluralistic, tolerant people by exposing them to our way of life. So we let them into our nations. They build mosques, often with funding from Saudi Arabia, which practices and teaches a radical brand of Islam known as Wahhabism, and allow them to set up Islamic schools, at least some of which teach hatred of Jews, Christians and Western values. France has seen its Muslim

VIEWS Cal Thomas population explode to more than 8 million, and growing, according to the Gatestone Institute. It is the same in other European nations. While not all of these immigrants are terrorists, no doubt terrorists immigrated along with those looking for a better life, or were radicalized after arriving. Many Muslim immigrants have lived in isolation from Western cultures and values which their faith has taught them to hate. According to the Pew Research Religion & Public Life Project, “the estimated share of legal Muslim immigrants entering the U.S. each year has roughly doubled, from about 5 percent of legal immigrants in 1992 to about 10 percent in 2012.” While it is a diverse group with not all holding to the same ideology or hatred of the West, there are enough radicals among them to constitute a clear and present danger. Groups such as the

Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) intimidate some politicians and the media with cries of “Islamophobia” whenever anyone warns of the radicals’ agenda. As the Center for Immigration Studies pointed out, “Since the November 1990 assassination of Rabbi Meir Kahane by an Egyptian, the immigrant Muslim community has been associated with a great number of violent incidents – all these even before the atrocities on September 11, 2001. In its long history of immigration, the United States has never encountered so violent-prone and radicalized a community as the Muslims who have arrived since 1965.” So, if even a small number of Muslim immigrants – or American citizens who have been radicalized by imams – attack a shopping mall, killing and terrorizing shoppers, what will the president do? Will he treat it as a crime, “workplace violence” or call it by its right name? Will civil libertarians have their way in opposing further surveillance of potential and actual radicals, deporting some and stripping

others of their U.S. citizenship, if they travel to align themselves with ISIS fighters and try to return to the U.S.? Will they be allowed in? They should be barred. These and many other questions must be answered before another attack, which our leaders repeatedly warn is coming. Why is it coming? Because presidents over several administrations have not done all they could to prevent it, preferring soft words to tough action. What will the current president do when the next attack comes? Will the public take matters into their own hands and fight back? Vigilantes are the last thing we need, but they could rise up, if government fails to perform its constitutional duty to protect us from enemies, foreign and domestic. • Cal Thomas’ latest book is “What Works: Common Sense Solutions for a Stronger America” is available in bookstores now.

Quinn: IDOT Quinn signs discrimination law New guidelines intend to protect pregnant women in the workplace must follow hiring rules By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press

‘Vast majority’ of improper hires recommended by governor’s office By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Pat Quinn deflected blame for state hiring problems Tuesday, saying agencies must follow anti-patronage hiring rules – even when the candidates are those the governor’s office favors. The Democrat, locked in one of the nation’s most watched election races for governor against Republican Bruce Rauner, responded to questions in Chicago about an investigative report released Friday. It found the Illinois Department of Transportation circumvented clout-busting regulations and improperly hired 255 people to midlevel “staff assistant” positions in the past 10 years. Ann Schneider, the former transportation secretary who resigned suddenly in June, responded to the report by saying Quinn’s office recommended the “vast majority” of candidates and she felt pressured to hire them. “All departments have a duty to make sure that they comply with the rules that I’ve set down and rules that are set in law,” Quinn said Tuesday when asked about the allegation. “I expect that, and I expect accountability.” Also Tuesday, Quinn’s deputy chief of staff in charge

of IDOT oversight resigned, but the governor’s office said Sean O’Shea is leaving for a private-sector job and his departure from the $130,000 job is not related to fallout from the investigation. Although the misuse of staff assistant positions dates to 2003, the Office of the Executive Inspector General said in its report that the process accelerated in 2010 and 2011, after Quinn took office. IDOT responded last week by laying off 58 people who still held the staff assistant positions and instituting reforms. At issue are U.S. Supreme Court rules that say a governor may only hire without open interviews when the job involves policymaking or confidential information. The investigation found IDOT created job descriptions that involved such duties but the workers in them mowed lawns and answered phones. The report found no evidence Quinn was aware of the subterfuge. He said Tuesday when he learned of the issue, he “took immediate action.” That initially meant a months-long review of five dozen remaining staff assistant’s jobs for applicability of the anti-patronage rules. But in the end, Quinn said it was acting secretary Erica Borggren’s decision to eliminate the posts.

CHICAGO – New guidelines aimed at preventing workplace discrimination against pregnant women were signed into law by Gov. Pat Quinn this week, a move backers say extends protections already in place for other workers. The legislation was prompted by safety and health concerns for expectant mothers and their children, said sponsors state Rep. Mary Flowers and Sen. Toi Hutchinson, both Democrats. Quinn’s office cited a federal U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity study showing a major increase – more than 70 percent – in the number of pregnancy discrimination claims from 1992 to 2011. “No pregnant woman should have to choose between having her baby and keeping her job,” Quinn said Tuesday at a Chicago clinic during an event marking the signing. “That’s really what this law is all about.” He signed the legislation late Monday, aides said. The law, which takes effect in January 2015, extends workplace protections to pregnant women, including requiring employers to

Gov. Pat Quinn, surrounded by workers, speaks during a signing ceremony July 22 in Chicago. Quinn recently signed a new law aimed at preventing discrimination against pregnant women in the workplace consider accommodations if asked. That includes limits on manual labor, time for more frequent bathroom breaks and space to breastfeed. The law also said a pregnant woman can’t be forced

to take a leave of absence when another workplace accommodation is available and an employer can’t refuse to hire a qualified applicant because of a required accommodation. The law outlined how complaints can be filed

if an employee feels an employer isn’t complying. During debate on the measure this year, opponents said they feared the plan would prompt a rise in lawsuits and could hurt small businesses.

The legislation was sponsored by Republican state Sen. Jim Oberweis. It follows the passage of law last year that increased the speed limit to 70 miles per hour on rural interstates. Oberweis has said the law

was about recognizing what speeds were already being driven. But Quinn on Tuesday cited studies which show “increased speeds lengthen stopping distance” and “produce more violent collisions.”

The governor’s action comes on the heels of another veto of a bill also sponsored by Oberweis that would have let large trucks go faster on interstate highways in the Chicago area.

STATE BRIEF Gov. Quinn vetoes bill increasing speed limits CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn has vetoed legislation aimed at increasing the speed limit from 65 to 70 miles per hour on interstate highways around Illinois.

Federal judges blast gay marriage bans Defenders attempt to justify position, same-sex advocates asked where line is drawn By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press CHICAGO – Federal appeals judges bristled Tuesday at arguments defending gay marriage bans in Indiana and Wisconsin, with one Republican appointee comparing them to now-defunct laws that once outlawed weddings between blacks and whites. As the legal skirmish in the United States over samesex marriage shifted to the three-judge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago, more than 200 people lined up hours before to ensure they got a seat at the much anticipated hearing. While judges often play devil’s advocate during oral arguments, the panel’s often-blistering questions for the defenders of the same-sex marriage bans could be a signal the laws may be in trouble – at least at this step in the legal process. Richard Posner, who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1981, hit the backers of the ban the hardest. He balked when Wisconsin Assistant Attorney General Timothy Samuelson repeatedly pointed to “tradition” as the underlying justification for barring gay marriage. “It was tradition to not allow blacks and whites to mar-

ry – a tradition that got swept away,” the 75-year-old judge said. Prohibition of same-sex marriage, Posner said, derives from “a tradition of hate ... and savage discrimination” of homosexuals. Attorneys general in both states asked the appellate court to permanently restore the bans, which were ruled unconstitutional in June. Its ruling could affect hundreds of couples who married after lower courts tossed the bans and before those rulings were stayed pending the Chicago appeal. Gay marriage is legal in 19 states as well as the District of Columbia, and advocates have won more than 20 court victories around the country since the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the federal government to recognize state-sanctioned gay marriages last year. The Supreme Court has yet to take up a case, but Utah and Oklahoma’s cases were appealed to the high court and Virginia’s attorney general also has asked the justices to weigh in. Appeals court rulings are pending for Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee, while appellate court hearings are scheduled next month for Hawaii, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada and are expected soon in Texas. Posner, who has a reputa-

At one point, Posner ran

through a list of psychological strains the children of unmarried same-sex couples suffered, including having to struggle to grasp why their schoolmates’ parents were married and theirs weren’t. “What horrible stuff,” Pos-

Monday. Battles pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse for fondling a boy between 1999 and 2002. Prosecutors say the abuse began when the boy was 10. Officials say Battles had a history of questionable behavior during his 17-year career with District 186. He was accused of letting students sit on his lap, giving back rubs and telephoning male students. He was fired in 2009.

The Springfield State Journal-Register reported the Kincaid Village Board unanimously voted Monday to accept the resignation of Douglas A. Thomas. It will pay him about $1,200 for leaving before his term ends. Thomas faces one count of official misconduct in relation to using village employees for personal gain, as well as two counts of drug possession and violating an order of protection. Many residents called for him to step down after he was arrested. The board voted to appoint a longtime resident as interim mayor until an April 7 election. It also accepted the resignation of Kincaid’s only police officer and will advertise to fill the position.

STATE BRIEFS EPA says oil spill migrated to Chicago-area canal CICERO – The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency is seeking enforcement action against a Cicero company after an oil spill reached a nearby canal. The EPA said Tuesday it’s asked Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office to obtain an order requiring Olympic Oil Ltd., to stop the spill and clean up contaminated soil and water. The facility blends and packages petroleum lubricating oil and antifreeze products. The agency said an investigation last Friday found petroleum products spilled over an on-site containment structure and ran into the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal.

Containment booms were placed in the canal and a trench dug to contain petroleum from the site. Officials say 1,650 gallons have been collected and removed so far. A company official said they are “working diligently” to comply with all requirements.

ner said. What benefit to society in barring gay marriage, he asked, outweighs that kind of harm to children? “All this is a reflection of biology,” Fisher answered. “Men and women make babies, same-sex couples do

not... we have to have a mechanism to regulate that, and marriage is that mechanism.” Samuelson echoed that, telling the hearing that regulating marriage – including by encouraging men and women to marry – was part of a concerted Wisconsin policy to reduce numbers of children born out of wedlock. “I assume you know how that has been working out in practice?” Judge David Hamilton responded, citing figures that births to single women from 1990 to 2009 rose 53 percent in Wisconsin and 68 percent in Indiana. While the judges seemed to push defenders of the bans the hardest, they also pressed the side arguing for gay marriage to say just where they themselves would draw the line about who could and couldn’t marry. Would they argue in favor of polygamy on similar grounds, by pointing to the emotional toll on children in families with multiple mothers or fathers, asked Hamilton, a President Barack Obama appointee. “If you have two people, it’s going to look like a marriage,” said Kenneth Falk of the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana. “If you have three or four, it doesn’t. ... There’s no slippery slope.”

Open-ended Gaza truce puts off tough issues More than 2,200 killed in seven weeks of fighting The ASSOCIATED PRESS GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Israel and Gaza’s ruling Hamas agreed Tuesday to an open-ended cease-fire after seven weeks of fighting – an uneasy deal that halts the deadliest war the sides have fought in years, with more than 2,200 killed, but puts off the most difficult issues. In the end, both sides settled for an ambiguous interim agreement in exchange for a period of calm. Hamas, though badly battered, remains in control of Gaza with part of its military arsenal intact. Israel and Egypt will continue to control access to blockaded Gaza, despite Hamas’ long-running demand the border closures imposed in 2007 be lifted. Hamas declared victory, even though it had little to show for a war that killed 2,143 Palestinians, wounded more than 11,000 and left some 100,000 homeless. On the Israeli side, 64 soldiers and six civilians were killed, including two killed by Palestinian mortar fire shortly before the cease-fire was announced. Large crowds gathered in Gaza City after the truce took effect at dusk, some waving the green flags of Hamas, while celebratory gunfire and fireworks erupted across the territory. Mahmoud Zahar, a senior Hamas leader, promised to rebuild homes destroyed in the war and said Hamas would rearm. “We will build and upgrade our arsenal to be ready for the coming battle, the battle of full liberation,” he declared, surrounded by Hamas gunmen. The Israeli response was more subdued. “This time we hope the cease-fire will stick,” Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev said. He portrayed the deal as one Hamas had reject-

“Today’s agreement comes after many hours and days of negotiations and discussions. But certainly there’s a long road ahead. ... We’re going into this eyes wide open.” Jen Psaki State Department spokeswoman ed in previous rounds of negotiations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced some criticism from hard-line critics and residents of Israeli communities near Gaza who said the deal failed to defuse the threat from Gaza militants. Since July 8, Hamas and its allies have fired some 4,000 rockets and mortars at Israel, and tens of thousands of Israelis evacuated areas near Gaza in recent weeks. Under the Egyptian-brokered deal, Israel is to ease imports to Gaza, including aid and material for reconstruction. It also agreed to a largely symbolic gesture, expanding a fishing zone for Gaza fishermen from three to six nautical miles into the Mediterranean. In a month, talks are to begin on more complex issues, including Hamas’ demand to start building a seaport and airport in Gaza. Israel has said it would only agree if Hamas disarms, a demand the militant group has rejected. In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Tuesday the agreement offers “an opportunity, not a certainty.” “Today’s agreement comes after many hours and days of negotiations and discussions. But certainly there’s a long road ahead. ... We’re going into this eyes wide open,” she said. Early on in the war, U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon and U.S. Secre-

tary of State John Kerry had tried in vain to broker a truce. The cease-fire went into effect at 7 p.m. Tuesday, and violence persisted until the last minute. About an hour before the cease-fire, 12 mortar shells hit an Israeli communal farm near Gaza, killing two Israelis and wounding seven other people, two of them critically, the Israeli military said. Between 5 and 7 p.m., Gaza militants fired 83 rockets, of which 13 were intercepted. In Gaza, an Israeli airstrike minutes before the start of the cease-fire toppled a five-story building in the town of Beit Lahiya, witnesses said. Twelve Palestinians, including two AP photo children, were killed in severA Palestinian boy sits next to the destroyed 15-story Basha Tower after early-morning Israeli airstrikes al Israeli airstrikes before the Tuesday in Gaza City. truce took hold, Gaza police said. In Gaza City, a 20-year-old woman was killed and several dozen people were wounded by celebratory gunfire after the truce was announced. Throughout the war, Israel launched some 5,000 airstrikes against Gaza, saying it targeted sites linked to militants, including rocket launchers and weapons depots. About threefourths of those killed in the strikes have been civilians, according to the U.N. and Palestinian officials. In recent days, Israel had stepped up its pressure on Hamas, toppling five towers containing offices, apartments and shops since Saturday. Two of those buildings were brought down in airstrikes early Tuesday that destroyed dozens of apartments and shops. Hamas has emerged from the war badly battered. Just one-third of its initial rocket arsenal of 10,000 remains, according to Israel and the Islamic group’s network of atadno=0285958 tack tunnels under the border with Israel has been mostly destroyed.

Minsk, which included Russian President Vladimir Putin, support his peace plan. But there were no indications that the support foretold a quick end to the fighting in eastern Ukraine between pro-Russia separatists and Ukrainian forces. Putin, whose country is accused by Kiev and the West of arming and supporting the rebels, said separately Tuesday that he had an “overall positive assessment” of the meetings, which included a face-to-face session with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko as well as joint sessions with him, the presidents of Kazakhstan and Belarus, and top European Union officials. Putin said there was no discussion of a cease-fire in Ukraine because Russia is not a party to the conflict.

Arab strikes in Libya show impatience with U.S. WASHINGTON – Egypt and the United Arab Emirates secretly carried out airstrikes against Islamist militias inside Libya, the United States publicly acknowledged Tuesday, another sharp jolt to American-led attempts over the past three years to stabilize Libya after dictator Moammar Gadhafi’s overthrow. One official said Egypt, the

UAE and Saudi Arabia for months have been supporting a renegade general’s campaign against Libyan militant groups, but the Saudis don’t appear to have played a role in recent strikes. The Libyan government is too weak and disorganized to fight the militants itself. Another official said the U.S. was aware that Egypt and UAE were planning strikes and warned them against it. Neither U.S. ally notified Washington before launching the strikes, officials said. “Outside interference in Libya exacerbates current divisions and undermines Libya’s democratic transition,” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters. She said Libya was in a “very fragile place.” But U.S.-led international efforts to secure the country clearly are fraying as impatience in the region grows. Libya is undergoing its worst violence since rebels ousted Gadhafi in 2011. Tripoli’s international airport is largely destroyed and diplomats, foreign nationals and thousands of Libyans have fled. The U.S. embassy there is closed, nearly two years after the U.S. ambassador was killed while visiting Benghazi.

Some inventions started out as something else!

When 11-year-old George Nissen went to see the circus, he had a brainstorm. An invention brainstorm!

But the metal pie tins hurt when they hit someone. As a safety measure, students started yelling “Frisbee!” to alert others that they were tossing a tin to a pal.

Frisbee Memories

The idea literally bounced into his head. He loved watching the trapeze artists and tightrope walkers drop into the safety net and then bounce up and down doing twists, spins and somersaults.

Draw the other half of each bouncing kid.

In the 1940s, a man named Walter Morrison remembered the fun he had throwing Frisbee® pie tins while a student at Yale. He invented a way to make a similar throwing toy out of plastic. He called it a Frisbee® disc in memory of the pie tins turned into toys.

That’s what gave him the idea of a “bouncing table” that could be used in a backyard or gym. He worked on his idea for more than 12 years, but finally he came up with a contraption that worked. He called it trampoline, from the Spanish word trampolin, meaning “springboard.” Standards Link: Vocabulary Development: Students recognize the origins and meanings of foreign words used in English.

After a few lead changes, Alden-Hebron took the first set, 25-14, and Faith Lutheran answered in the second, 25-21. Midway through the third set, the Giants opened a 19-8 lead and looked ready to capture the home victory. Through outstanding serving by the Saints’ Hailee Haldeman and great ball control, the Giants’ lead soon vanished. With the score tied at 24, Faith Lutheran continued to make clutch plays and completed the comeback, 27-25.

Bears rookie running back Jordan Lynch is expected to get a lot of playing time in the preseason finale Thursday in Cleveland.

LAKE FOREST – Nine Bears were healthy scratches in last week’s preseason game against the Seahawks. Aside from David Fales, who did not play so the quarterbacks could get their reps, Jordan Lynch and Marcus Trice are the only two who did not play and are still with the team. They both survived the first set of cuts. It’s never a great sign to not play in a preseason game when one is on the roster bubble. It’s a missed opportunity to put together quality tape, but Lynch will get a lot of chances to prove something in the preseason fi-

Page C4 nale Thursday in Cleveland. “I expect you’ll see quite a bit of him, I’m sure he’ll have an opportunity to carry the football, to do a little bit of what he did a couple of games ago when he got a couple of reps and did very well running the football,” coach Marc Trestman said after Tuesday’s practice. “So it’ll be a good opportunity for him to get out there and show what he’s learned and how

he’s improved over the last month of playing a completely new position. “That’ll involve pass protection as well. You know this is a team that brings the blitz, so he’ll have an opportunity to get in the pass protection as well, and catch some balls outside the pocket and stuff like that. I’m excited for him and his opportunity.” In the preseason opener, the only time Lynch got reps on offense, the former Northern Illinois quarterback and Heisman Trophy finalist had seven carries for 24 yards, including a 12-yard run. He played in five special teams snaps against Jacksonville.

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: PRAIRIE RIDGE 2, LAKE ZURICH 0

Wolves dominate in season opener By MATT BURNS sports@nwherald.com LAKE ZURICH – The Prairie Ridge girls volleyball team won its season-opening match Tuesday night against Lake Zurich, 25-18, 25-15. After making quick work of the Bears in the first set, the Wolves found themselves down 8-5 early in the second set. However, after regrouping during a timeout, the Wolves earned a commanding victory. “We made too many errors for our setters to get into our system,” said Prairie Ridge’s Stefanie Otto, who

is entering her 18th season as head coach. “They needed to settle down and not get too worried about what was happening out there. But, once we started to pull the ball off the net a little bit, they got right back into the system again.” Leading the charge for the Wolves was senior middle blocker Ali Witt, who came up with five kills in the match. “I told the girls to keep up the momentum and only focus on our side,” Witt said. “We needed to focus on our errors and try not to give them anything to give them more energy.”

The home fans helped the Bears’ energy as they moved into an early lead in the second, but the Wolves went on a 14-point run to give them the victory. Helping with that momentum shift up front for the Wolves was senior middle blocker Aubree Eggers. Her defensive presence at the net helped shift the energy and prevented the Bears from pulling out of reach. Looking forward, the Wolves will incorporate their mixed roster of seniors with fresh new faces. “I really enjoy being with this group of girls. I want to see a lot of growth

with them,” Otto said. “I want them to push themselves to do things they didn’t think they were capable of doing.” If the Wolves are looking to go deep into the postseason, they will need their seniors to step up and help develop the roster. “I’m looking forward to playing with these girls,” Witt said. “I want to do well in conference play. We have a lot of potential here and I’m really excited.” Next on the Wolves’ schedule is their home opener at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday against Jacobs.

After spending 35 years coaching in his native Puerto Rico, he found some aspects of the game a little different than what he was used to. The Saints were occasionally out of rotation, and the Giants received an extra point

early in the match when Borrero took one too many timeouts. Despite those early issues, the Saints settled in and used good ball control and passing to their advantage. “If you have the ability at the key points to have really good ball control from passers to servers, you will have an open door to win the match,” Borrero said.

Dundee-Crown rolls against Streamwood NORTHWEST HERALD Bre Novak and Gina Pagano dominated from the service line for Dundee-Crown on Tuesday in a 25-12, 25-13 nonconference girls volleyball win against Streamwood. Pagano and Novak each had six service aces and Lauren Lococo added four aces. Emma Brant had seven kills for the Chargers and

Novak added three. Frankie Cavalarro led D-C with six assists, and Pagano had three digs. Jacobs 2, Bartlett 0: At Algonquin, Bridget Wallenberger and Kyla Fitzsimmons each had seven kills for the Golden Eagles in a 25-11, 25-10 nonconference win. Fitzsimmons also led Jacobs with five digs.

BOYS SOCCER ROUNDUP

Woodstock North drubs St. Pat’s in tourney NORTHWEST HERALD Alejandro Miranda and Edder Tapia each scored two goals for Woodstock North in a 7-1 boys soccer win against St. Patrick on Tuesday at the Cougar Classic in Vernon Hills. Also scoring for the Thunder (1-2) were Luis Balleno on an assist from Zach Schmidt and Mauricio Villanueva and Alfredo Balleno, both on as-

SPORTS 3

C-G’s Schulz shows versatility at AAU nationals The athlete who is good at everything in track and field took some time over the summer to do an event that includes most everything. Cary-Grove senior Morgan Schulz demonstrated her versatility in the heptathlon – a series of seven events – at the AAU Track and Field National Championships, which concluded Aug. 1 in Des Moines, Iowa, and took Morgan Schulz second place in the 17-18-year-old division with 4,728 points. The heptathlon is comprised of the 100 meters, 200, 800, 100 high hurdles, shot put, high jump and javelin. Schulz had little experience throwing javelin, because it is not an IHSA event, and her throw of 118 feet, 8 inches would have taken third in the open javelin competition. Schulz’s finish was not surprising, considering few athletes in the state can match her versatility. She pulled off an almost unheard-of double by medaling in the Class 3A 300 low hurdles (second) and in the 800 (seventh) at the IHSA Girls Track and Field State Meet in May. “It was totally different, events out of my element,” Schulz said. “It was really fun. I was awful at high jump. I didn’t have any form, I just ran up

Reiser says he hopes to sign in November • CROSS COUNTRY Continued from page C1 “Through his hard work, dedication and passion for the sport, Jesse has the ability to excel and achieve his high goals,” Warriors coach Beth Czubik said. “It’s been very exciting to watch Jesse gain confidence and grow as a runner. He’s very coachable, learns quickly, and is always willing to give it his all and do the little things. “That will take him to the next level. In addition, he inspires the team as a whole by setting an example.” Reiser hopes to make his college decision by November, the early signing period for national letters of intent. The signing period for cross country was moved up from February. Reiser could make some visits during the season on Saturdays after he has raced. In the meantime, he’s looking forward to McHenry, with Michael Hahndorf, Tyler Lay and some strong incoming freshmen, making a little noise as a team. “We’re looking to finish high in the [Fox Valley] Conference,” Reiser said. “We’re kind of flying under the radar and think we can do some pretty good things.” Czubik appreciates what it’s like to work with arguably the state’s best runner. “He’s very coachable, he learns quickly and he’s always willing to give his all,” Czubik said. “He’s always willing to give it his all and do the little things that will take him to the next level. He inspires the whole team by setting an example.” Notes: Reiser may not be challenged in the area, with the group behind him likely including four standout juniors – Hahndorf, Woodstock’s Luke Beattie and Huntley’s Keagan Smith and Seth Conroy. Those four have made impacts with their varsity teams since their freshman years. Defending Fox Valley Conference Meet champion Crystal Lake Central and runner-up Jacobs suffered key losses to graduation, so watch for McHenry and Prairie Ridge to be strong contenders. McHenry has some talented freshmen to add to its lineup. Prairie Ridge returns four of its top five runners – Filip Pajak, Mitch Kazin, Scott Hearne and Chris Berg.

and jumped. It was very awkward for me.” Still, Schulz cleared 5-1 once this summer and made 4-11 at the national meet. Schulz is attracting huge interest from NCAA Division I schools. She should be one of the area’s best cross country runners this fall, although it’s only her second season in that sport. Tabor Gleason Trojans girls cross country and track coach Mark Anderson feels her options are wide open for college. “This summer let her try a couple of different things,” Anderson said. “We’ve seen what she can do on the track. She’s gotten a lot of attention as a 400 hurdler, maybe in the [3,000] steeplechase or as a heptathlete.” Schulz has considered the heptathlon for college, while also mentioning the 800 or 1,500 and steeplechase. She has a rare combination of speed along with endurance. Also competing from C-G in the AAU championships were incoming freshmen Tabor Gleason and Paige Schulz (Morgan’s sister) in the 14 division, and junior Maggie Cherveny in the 15-to-16 division. Gleason finished eighth in the triple jump and was 12th in the pen-

PREP ZONE Joe Stevenson tathlon (100 high hurdles, high jump, shot put, long jump and 800). Paige Schulz was 16th. Cherveny made finals in the triple and long jumps and in javelin. Gleason and Schulz were part of five school records last spring at Cary Junior High. Gleason set marks in the 100 high hurdles (16.3), triple jump (34-1) and high jump (5-5). She and Schulz ran on the record-setting 4x200 team and Schulz ran on the 4x400 team, which also set a school mark. Gleason, who is 5-foot-11, was IESA runner-up each of the past two years in the high jump. Her mother, Chaille Gleason, was a state champion in high school at Peoria Bergen and held the IHSA Class A long jump record (18-9) for 17 years. Chaille coached for 20 years in Palatine’s girls track program and the past few years at Cary Junior High. “Being her mom that coaches, it’s living the dream,” Chaille said. “She’s gifted in terms of her stature. Her brothers and dad are tall. And she was born in March, so she was probably at her first track meet when she was 10 days old. She’s always

been around it. It’s what she knew.” So C-G, which already is loaded with talent to make a run at its seventh consecutive Fox Valley Conference Meet championship next spring, has even more outstanding young talent on the way. “It’s wonderful,” Chaille Gleason said. “I was lucky enough to have the same thing. When I went to high school, we won two state titles. There was an expectation of high level work and success. For [Tabor] to have those girls who are established, and she’s known Coach Anderson since she was 5. She’s really excited for them to be her teammates.” More summer happenings: Huntley girls assistant track coach Brad Gallaugher and other area coaches put together the Monster Track Club this summer, which was comprised of athletes from all over McHenry County. The team worked out at Huntley’s Heineman Middle School and finished its season at the USATF National Junior Olympics Track and Field Championships. Gallaugher said the idea started from Huntley assistant coach Tim Essig, who used to own a warehouse where area athletes would come for pole vaulting camps. They decided to take that further and start a club and passed out flyers to area coaches during the spring season. Gallaugher coached distance

runners, Essig did vaults, Huntley assistant Chris Maxedon worked with throwers, Woodstock assistant Lisa Kucharski worked with hurdlers, and Crystal Lake South girls head coach Matt Dunker worked with jumpers. “Matt said, ‘I just want to make kids in the area better,’ ” Gallaugher said. “I said, ‘Yeah, this area’s tough, let’s make it tougher.’ The cool part was we had kids from Crystal Lake South, Harvard, Prairie Ridge, Huntley, Hampshire and McHenry.” South thrower Kyle Hedge, who took third in the Class 3A shot put at the IHSA Boys Track and Field State Meet, finished fourth at the Junior Olympic National Meet with a throw of 57-8 1/4. Switch at Harvard: Harvard athletic director Matt Rife announced that cross country coach Brett Willhoit, who coached the Hornets boys and girls teams, has left to take a job teaching business at Crystal Lake Central. Harvard girls track coach Casey Seyller has stepped in to coach cross country this season. Willhoit was heading into his fifth year as coach. • Joe Stevenson is a senior sports writer for the Northwest Herald. He can be reached by email at joestevenson@shawmedia.com.

Haase 7 strokes behind Illinois PGA leader Small

The Cubs’ Anthony Rizzo is congratulated in the dugout after hitting a solo home run off Reds starting pitcher Johnny Cueto in the first inning Tuesday in Cincinnati.

Mike Haase, a PGA assistant pro at the Golf Academy at Terra Cotta in Prairie Grove, slipped from second to fifth place after the second day of the Illinois PGA Championship on Tuesday at Stonewall Orchard in Grayslake. Haase shot a 1-over-par 73 and is 3 under for the tournament, seven strokes behind leader Mike Small of Champaign. Small, a 10-time champion of the event, shot his second consecutive 67. He leads Matt Slowinski of Conway Farms and Steve Orrick of Decatur by five strokes. The final round begins at 8 a.m. Wednesday.

Buzzing about Soler By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com CINCINNATI – Who knows what the Cubs will have to challenge the rest of the National League next year? But they’re on the verge of finding out quickly, say guys in the clubhouse awaiting Wednesday’s big-league debut of $30 million outfield prospect Jorge Soler. “You’re starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel,” said cornerstone first baseman Anthony Rizzo. “It’s a smart move to get him up here and get him a solid five weeks to play – just like Javy [Baez]. Hopefully, it overwhelms him a lot and he goes into the offseason knowing what he needs to work on, his strengths and weaknesses.” Rizzo, who hit his 30th homer in the first inning of Tuesday’s 3-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds, has been the strongest clubhouse advocate since spring training of bring-

ing up the Cubs’ best prospects as soon as possible to let them sink or swim. Guys like Baez, who struck out four more times Tuesday but also has seven homers in his first 21 games (to go with 40 K’s). And guys like Arismendy Alcantara, who added a tworun homer in the seventh off All-Star Reds starter Johnny Cueto (15-8). Manager Rick Renteria said he expects Soler to play right field Wednesday and bat fifth or sixth in his debut – the eighth player to make his debut with the Cubs this season. Rizzo said the timing is ideal for putting so many of the Cubs’ fledgling prospects together in the majors ahead of September roster expansion – between games that matter and 24 of the final 31 games coming against NL Central rivals. “It’s good that everyone’s going to see these guys,” Rizzo said. “If we’re going to do anything in the near future, we need to take care of our di-

vision first, because that’s how you stay in the race. And you want to be contending this time next year.”

NOTES • Shortstop Starlin Castro returned from five games on bereavement leave with a twohit game. “It’s a really tough time, man,” said Castro, who spent time with family in the Dominican Republic after losing close friends and family in a car accident there last week. “The only guy that knows [why] is God. He knows how things happen. … I’m all right.” • Cubs starter Travis Wood (8-11) snapped a string of 12 consecutive winless starts Tuesday with six effortless-looking innings before an inexplicable 96-pitch hook from Renteria. • Rosters for the prestigious Arizona Fall League were announced Tuesday, with seven Cubs named, including Baseball America’s No. 5 prospect, shortstop Addison Russell.

MEN’S BASKETBALL: USA 101, SLOVENIA 71

Rose struggles in Americans’ final tune-up By JOE COWLEY jcowley@shawmedia.com Mike Krzyzewski is done asking Derrick Rose how he feels. The Team USA coach made that evident Monday night before Tuesday’s 101-71 win over Slovenia in the final exhibition game at the Gran Canaria Arena in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. “I asked [Rose on Monday], and he said, ‘I feel great,’ ’’ Krzyzewski told reporters. “He did everything. He’s fullgo. I think there’s a part of him that’s like, ‘Quit asking me how I feel. I’m good.’ So I’m not going to ask him anymore.” You’d hope someone has to, because while FIBA World Cup tournament play doesn’t start until Saturday, Rose continued to look like a guy whose game never made it through

customs. Coming off the bench behind Kyrie Irving for a second consecutive game, Rose looked unsure with the ball, evident in three turnovers in his 20 minutes. He was a pedestrian 3 for 6 from the freethrow line, missed an uncontested layup and seemed very passive on offense (0 for 3) and inconsistent on defense (minus 4 in the plus/minus category). He wasn’t the player who first showed up to Las Vegas last month, wowing teammates and coaches on both sides of the ball. But for now, Rose gets a free pass. He missed two days of practice and an exhibition game in New York while battling fatigue last week, and of course there’s the elephant in the room of having played

just 10 regular-season games since the 2012 playoffs because of season-ending surgeries to both knees. Not that Rose minds being a decoy rather than a highlight film – a mentality he has preached since checking in to USA Basketball. “For me individually, it’s playing under control and shooting the right shots,” Rose said recently. “It’s no need for me to force any shots with all the offensive threats that we have on our team. I don’t have to shoot, not one shot, but just being prepared to shoot those shots whenever I have the opportunity.” The important news is that Rose seemingly came out of Tuesday’s game healthy. With three days to practice and rest for a stretch of five games in six days, Team USA’s coach-

ing staff will have to keep a close eye on Rose, making sure the rust is indeed coming off and there are no concerns about setbacks. That’s where Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau, the USA assistant coach, comes in. “You’re going day by day,” Thibodeau said of Rose’s workload once the preliminary games begin. “We knew that going in. . . . It is a progression. [Rose] has gotten a lot better. The main thing is shaking the rust off. He will continue to build. If he needs a day off, he will get a day off. He says he feels great.” Meanwhile, rust remained the furthest thing from the mind of Chicagoan Anthony Davis. The big man dominated again Tuesday, scoring a team-high 18 points to go with nine rebounds and five blocks.

CHICAGO – The White Sox plan on being contenders next season, which is a little more than they planned on this year. So there is progress, at least in goals being set for 2015. “That’s absolutely our intent,’’ general manager Rick Hahn said before the Sox lost, 8-6, in 10 to the Cleveland Indians at U.S. Cellular Field, their seventh straight loss. “We can’t guarantee we’re going to be able to make ‘X’ number of moves and we’re going to be able to hit on as high a percentage of our targets as we did last year, but it’s certainly our goal to address ideally all of what we feel are our needs, before they shift, as quickly as possible.” Hahn hit on Jose Abreu, Avisail Garcia and Adam Eaton, the 1-3-4 hitters in the Sox’s lineup Tuesday, last offseason. The offense, with three hitters in the top 10 in American League batting average (Abreu, Eaton, Conor Gillaspie), is markedly better. The last time the Sox had two in the top 10 was 1993 with Frank Thomas and Lance Johnson. “We have made some improvements in certain areas, but we are not where we need to be,” Hahn said. “Whether it’s defense or base running or how we’re hitting situationally or other elements of the fundamentals, it’s a priority for us and we know we’re not there yet. We need to improve, but we’re getting closer.” To that end, Hahn said he is satisfied with the job manager Robin Ventura and his coaching staff are doing communicating the right message to the players. “Absolutely,” he said. “There’s been no doubt in my mind ... that players are given the right information, the right energy level is there.” Jose Quintana usual steady performance wasn’t there for five-plus innings, , with six runs allowed. Garcia single in two runs in the first and Alexei Ramirez drove in two with his 15th homer in the fifth. Indians pinch-hitter Lonnie Chisenhall doubled to lead off the 10th against Jake Petricka (0-4), and Zach Walters hit a 3-2 pitch well into the right-field bleachers to give the Indians the lead. Petricka gave up a goahead home run in his second consecutive appearance after allowing Brian McCann’s 10th inning walk-off Sunday against the New York Yankees.

22 players BEARS NOTES will be cut Morgan, Holmes prep for preseason finale • BEARS Continued from page C1 “It’s a very exciting week. Now I get to actually go out there and kind of showcase my talent. I’m really excited,” Lynch told reporters. “I’m prepared for this, and I just love football. I get a chance to go out there fly around and have fun.” The Bears will cut their roster to 53 players, releasing 22, at some point before Saturday afternoon. Lynch is a long shot to make the team and is a candidate for the practice squad. But he also knows a good performance against the Browns helps his cause to join another team’s roster or practice squad. “Like the coaches said, you’re not only auditioning for this team, you’re auditioning for 31 other teams,” he said. “Just gotta get some tape on me. The more you can do, the better. And you never know what happens.”

kfishbain@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – It’s cliché when Josh Morgan says his focus is just about getting better every day, without thinking too much about playing for a job in the preseason finale Thursday in Cleveland. But Morgan is no stranger to this situation, despite some more comfortable roster situations previously in his career. He has played in the preseason finale in each of the past five seasons, making 10 catches for 81 yards. “You can’t really worry about anything else, you can’t really focus on anything else, especially the business part of football,” Morgan said after Tuesday’s practice. “You just go in there, put in your work. If you’re getting better, regardless of the business part, you did your job.” Morgan has eight catches for a teamhigh 125 yards this preseason and is still competing to be the No. 3 wideout. “Josh has done a nice job of being a physical receiver. He gets in and out of cuts well, and he’s making contested catches in practice, so it’s going to be a case of showing consistency to do that day in and day out,” offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer said. “That’s important. That’s what we need to see next.”

Receiver Josh Morgan will try to snare a roster spot when he plays Thursday in the Bears’ preseason finale in Cleveland. Santonio Holmes is a little less familiar with playing in a preseason finale. He last did it in 2010, when he had four catches for 97 yards, including a 51-yard touchdown. Normally, he would have rested, but he faced a four-game suspension to start that season and the Jets gave him the extra work. Holmes has to continue to cram to learn the offense and prove he gets it, and is healthy enough to make an impact. As for any pressure he may have, all things considered, Holmes responded to a reporter, “I’m a former Super Bowl MVP. There’s no pressure.” Both players know that while having to play for a job in the final preseason

game isn’t ideal, it’s still football, and there’s still a competitive edge. “It’s football, you love playing the game,” Morgan said. “Just that natural love for the game, you always have it, you just always try to go out there and perform your best.” When asked if the new situation for Holmes was a difficult one, the veteran said, “Nothing’s difficult. You get out and you play football and you enjoy doing what you do.” Brown, Frey waived: The Bears’ final two cuts to get the roster to 75 by Tuesday’s deadline were familiar names: offensive lineman James Brown and cornerback Isaiah Frey. Brown led the team in snaps in the preseason opener, but then didn’t even play on offense in Seattle. He spent 2013 with the Bears but was inactive for all 16 games. Frey, who injured his hamstring Aug. 5, was the nickel corner last season but had only one pass defensed while playing on almost 50 percent of the snaps and was behind Kyle Fuller, Kelvin Hayden and core special-teamer Sherrick McManis on the depth chart. Should the Bears carry six corners, Frey’s absence opens the door for players such as Demontre Hurst and C.J. Wilson.

TUESDAY VS. MILWAUKEE San Diego’s Jake Goebbert, a Hampshire High School graduate, did not play in the Padres’ 4-1 win. He is batting .254 this season.

U.S. OPEN

15-year-old Bellis onto 2nd round By HOWARD FENDRICH

TEAM

Tuesday at Flushing Meadows

The Associated Press NEW YORK – While 15-year-old American CiCi Bellis was in the process of stunning a Grand Slam finalist to become the youngest player to win a U.S. Open match since 1996, her father did his best to conceal his emotions courtside. Like many a teen, CiCi has strict rules for Dad in public – even if his 1,208th-ranked daughter is pulling out a back-and-forth 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 victory Tuesday over 12th-seeded Dominika Cibulkova in the first round at Flushing Meadows. “I’m told I cannot sigh and I cannot move or say anything (because) that distracts her, so I just have to sit there like a Sphinx and just smile and pray,” the elder Bellis, Gordon, explained with a deadpan delivery. “She hears me when I sigh. So I can’t sigh.” Ah, yes, the joys of raising kids. And make no mistake, Bellis is a kid. She is home-schooled and about to start 10th grade. Her first memory of the U.S. Open is watching on TV while Maria Sharapova played. Her victory was the most surprising of the afternoon session on Day 2 of the year’s last Grand Slam tournament. Serena Williams defeated American Taylor Townsend, 6-3, 6-1, and Roger Federer beat Marinko Matosevic, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (4), with Michael Jordan sitting in Federer’s guest box in Arthur Ashe Stadium. “Growing up, he was my big sporting idol,” Federer said. “Having him here is unbelievably special.” Aside from the Williams sisters, American tennis fans have not had much reason to cheer for their own in the latter stages of major tournaments in recent years. That’s why the occasional run by a young U.S. player – think Melanie Oudin, wearing “Believe” on her sneakers in 2009 – stirs interest at Flushing Meadows. “Believing was the No. 1 thing that I had to do today,” Bellis said. “That’s what my coach told me be-

NEW YORK (AP) – A look at Tuesday’s play at the $38.3 million U.S. Open tennis championships: Men’s seeded winners: No. 2 Roger Federer, No. 4 David Ferrer, No. 10 Kei Nishikori, No. 12 Richard Gasquet, No. 13 John Isner, No. 15 Fabio Fognini, No. 17 Roberto Bautista Agut, No. 20 Gael Monfils, No. 25 Ivo Karlovic, No. 26 Gilles Simon and No. 28 Guillermo Garcia-Lopez Men’s seeded losers: No. 29 Lukas Rosol Women’s seeded winners: No. 1 Serena Williams, No. 3 Petra Kvitova, No. 7 Eugenie Bouchard, No. 8 Ana Ivanovic, No. 11 Flavia Pennetta, No. 15 Carla Suarez Navarro, No. 16 Victoria Azarenka, No. 17 Ekaterina Makarova, No. 23 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, No. 24 Sam Stosur, No. 27 Madison Keys, No. 29 Casey Dellacqua and No. 30 Barbora Zahlavova Strycova Women’s seeded losers: No. 12 Dominika Cibulkova, No. 20 Svetlana Kuznetsova and No. 32 Zhang Shuai Top players on course Wednesday: Men: First Round, No. 6 Tomas Berdych vs. Lleyton Hewitt, No. 7 Grigor Dimitrov vs. Ryan Harrison; Second Round, No. 3 Stan Wawrinka vs. Thomaz Bellucci. Women: Second Round, No. 2 Simona Halep vs. Jana Cepelova, No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska vs. Peng Shuai, No. 5 Maria Sharapova vs. Alexandra Dulgheru, No. 19 Venus Williams vs. Timea Bacsinszky fore the match also: Just go out there and believe that you can win.” On Tuesday, there she was in front of a supportive, overflowing crowd on Court 6 at Flushing Meadows, taking it to Cibulkova, the runner-up at the Australian Open in January. “I went into the match thinking it was going to be such a great experience,” said Bellis, whose rapid-fire sentences tend to finish with a gurgle of laughter, “but I never thought I would come out on top winning.”

Cici Bellis drops to her knees after defeating Dominika Cibulkova during the first round of the U.S. Open. Neither did her parents. Her mother, Lori, didn’t attend the match because she gets too nervous watching in person, Gordon Bellis said. So Lori stayed at their hotel, getting updates via text from Gordon. “She asked how bad it was going in the first set. And so I told her (CiCi) actually won the first set. She couldn’t believe that,” Gordon said. “We were just thankful that she didn’t get double-bageled. That was the first objective.” After trailing 3-1 in the third set, she came back to even things, and then broke the 25-year-old Cibulkova in the final game. When it ended, Bellis crouched at the baseline and pumped her fists, then ran over to the stands for congratulatory hugs. “I didn’t expect her to play so aggressive today. I thought she’s kind of a player who’s just putting the ball back and running around,” Cibulkova said. “That didn’t happen today. She was really aggressive on the court and that maybe surprised me in the first set.” Not since Anna Kournikova was 15 in 1996 had someone so young won a match at the U.S. Open. And not since Mary Joe Fernandez was that age in 1986 had an American done it. Next up for Bellis is a second-round match against 48th-ranked Zarina Diyas of Kazakhstan. And Gordon Bellis said Lori might decide to attend that one. No word on what sort of rules Mom will have to follow.

The show will be led by Emmy Award-winning coordinating producers Emilie Deutsch and Suzanne Smith.

Publisher acquires Robin Williams biography

Robert Hass wins $100,000 poetry prize

NEW YORK – A New York Times cultural reporter who has written extensively about Robin Williams is working on a book about the late actor-comedian. Henry Holt and Co. announced Tuesday it had acquired a planned biography by the Times’ Dave Itzkoff. The book is currently untitled. No publication date has been set. Williams was the manic superstar of the sitcom “Mork and Mindy” and later won an Oscar for his work in “Good Will Hunting.” He committed suicide at age 63. His body was found in his Northern California home Aug. 11.

NEW YORK – Robert Hass, a Pulitzer Prize winner and former U.S. poet laureate, has received a $100,000 lifetime achievement award. The Academy of American Poets announced Tuesday that Hass had been given the Wallace Stevens award for “outstanding and proven mastery.” The 73-year-old Hass is known for such collections as “Time and Materials” and “The Apple Trees at Olema.” Previous winners of the Stevens award include John Ashbery and Adrienne Rich. Also Tuesday, the academy awarded a $25,000 fellowship to Tracy K. Smith, who in 2012 won the Pulitzer Prize for “Life On Mars.” The academy is a nonprofit organization founded in 1934.

Miley Cyrus’ date wanted by Oregon police

Emmys owe TV newcomers a better chance NEW YORK – There was something embarrassing about the rash of repeat treating on Monday’s Emmycast. It might have left viewers wondering if they had stumbled on a rerun of last year’s show, or the one before that. Or maybe an awards show equivalent of “Groundhog Day.” Count ‘em up: Bryan Cranston’s fourth best-drama Emmy for “Breaking Bad,” his co-star Aaron Paul’s third supporting-actor trophy, and the second best-drama salute for the show. There was a fourth statuette for Jim Parsons (“The Big Bang Theory”), the third in a row for Julia Louis-Dreyfus (“Veep”), the fifth straight for “Modern Family.” Nothing against these winners, especially the honors-showered “Breaking Bad,” the finest drama series in recent television history. Monday’s Emmycast might have left viewers wondering whether anything new on TV happened last season. The prime-time Emmys, bestowed for 66 years, are meant to celebrate excellence in television. But in Emmy’s eyes, excellence too often takes the form of stamina, not the burst of inspiration that may have launched a series and its characters many seasons earlier and since settled into routine. Too often, Emmy celebrates not excellence, but an excellently maintained status quo. On Monday night, Matthew McConaughey, of all people, was exposed as an outsider. As Tim Molloy notes in The Wrap, even this Oscar winner and Hollywood golden boy couldn’t break into the Emmy winners circle. “The main criteria for winning an Emmy this year,” Tim Molloy of The Wrap writes, “seemed to be having one already.”

PORTLAND, Ore. – The young homeless man who accompanied Miley Cyrus to the MTV Video Music Awards has a warrant out for his arrest in Oregon. Jesse Helt, 22, was arrested on charges of criminal mischief, criminal trespass and burglary in 2010. According to court records, he broke into the apartment of a man who had been selling what Helt believed to be bad marijuana. Helt, who was 18 at the time, pleaded guilty to criminal mischief and criminal trespass, both misdemeanors, and was sentenced to 30 days in jail and probation. The arrest warrant was issued in November 2011 after he violated probation. Helt moved to Los Angeles and lived on the streets while trying to find work as a model. He gained worldwide attention Sunday when Cyrus let him accept her award for video of the year. Helt, who met Cyrus through the Hollywood homeless center My Friend’s Place, used the platform to call attention to the issue of youth homelessness.

Kenseth launches anti-bullying children’s book HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. – Championship-winning race car driver Matt Kenseth can now put a children’s book on his resume. Kenseth and his wife, Katie, released “Race Against Bullying” on Tuesday in conjunction with National Youth Literacy Day. The book written by Gina Gold chronicles the first day of fourth grade for a boy named Matt, whose love of racing is mocked by another boy. Matt gets support from family and friends, including a pretty blonde named Katie. The Kenseths have three daughters under age 5 and picked their first topic, bullying, when the eldest came home from school upset that a friend had been picking on her. The book is sold for $3 through Dollar General stores and is the first installment of a four-part series for children ages 4 to 8.

Summer Crisp With Pecan Streusel Topping AP photo

Grilled a

CRISP

Bushels of berries cooked in the most summery way By ELIZABETH KARMEL

The Associated Press

hen we think “hot off the grill,” we usually think about something meaty. But this time of year I also like to grill desserts. In late summer, I make this grilled fruit crisp every week. It is good with whatever fruit you find at the market, ripe and ready to be mixed with a little bit of sugar, citrus and cinnamon. The addition of orange liqueur is optional, but one that I always opt for as it makes a big difference. If you don’t have any orange liqueur, a bit of bourbon is nice, too. Since the topping of the crisp is everyone’s favorite part of the dessert, I add oatmeal and pecans to the classic butter-flour-sugar blend to make it even crunchier and more substantial. When you toss the fruit with the sugar and cornstarch, be sure to mix well and let the fruit sit for 5 minutes to bring out the natural juices, then mix again. And when baking, make sure you bake it long enough for the cornstarch and fruit juices to bubble up and turn opaque or your crisp will taste slightly raw and gritty instead of silky smooth. The dessert is made for easy entertaining since you can assemble it early in the day and grill it just before you want to eat it. You also could bake it in advance and serve it at room temperature. Generally, I put the crisp on the grill over indirect medium heat right when I take the meat off the grill. That way, it is bubbling and hot when everyone is ready for dessert and I love the drama of lifting the lid off the grill in front of my guests. Of course this crisp is best served with a heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Keep Labor Day healthy with grilled chicken salad EVERYDAY DINNERS Sara Moulton Labor Day, summer’s last hurrah, is a feast day. And mostly – Tell the truth! – we tend to overdo it. Ribs, steaks, burgers and hot dogs? Check, check, check and check. Vegetables and other light fare? Not so much. The standard routine amounts to the summer version of Thanksgiving, except that after the meal everyone collapses onto the lawn rather than a couch. Allow me to propose an alternative – a dish that’s simultaneously light and refreshing and substantial: chicken paillard. Paillard is a French culinary term referring to a piece of meat pounded thin, then grilled or sautéed. In this case, we’re going to marinate and grill chicken breasts, then top them off with a peach and arugula salad glorified with a full-fat blue cheese dressing. Where do you find these skinny cuts of chicken? Chances are you can pick up thin chicken breast cutlets at the supermarket. Or you can buy chicken breasts of average girth, pop them in the freezer for 30 minutes, then cut them horizontally into two thin cutlets. Whatever kind of breasts you start with, you’ll need to pound the cutlets to the desired thinness. And you’ll want to avoid shredding them in the process, which happens sometimes. Here’s a little trick to avoid any shredding. Sprinkle both sides of the cutlet with cold water before putting it between two sheets of plastic wrap (or in a zip-close plastic bag). Then pound away, as planned, with a meat pounder or a rolling pin. You’ll notice that the water cushions the meat, preventing it from sticking to the plastic and shredding. Next, it’s time to bathe the cutlets for an hour in a simple marinade of olive oil, lemon and garlic. Their thinness helps them to soak up the flavor fast. Grilling the cutlets takes almost no time at all, about 1 minute a side. Let them rest for 5 minutes, and they’re good to go. They also happen to be delicious at room temperature an hour later, which gives you the option of grilling up the chicken ahead of time, thus cutting down the stress of cooking while the party people are swarming the grill. However you do it, remember to save the juices from the plate on which the cutlets were resting; you’ll want to drizzle in it onto the chicken before topping it with the salad. And the salad is a cinch –

Grilled Chicken Paillards With Peach And Arugula Salad AP photo

sliced fresh summer peaches and baby arugula (or your favorite greens) tossed with a blue cheese dressing. Happily, a little bit of full-fat blue cheese goes a long way. In this recipe, 1 ounce serves four people. Indeed, it’s so rich that I’ve combined it with low-fat mayonnaise, Greek yogurt and a little bit of water to thin it out. Toasted walnuts (a king among nuts, health-wise) provide the final touch. See for yourself if this dish doesn’t allow you to kiss off the summer with abandon without knocking you to your knees in the process.

Grilled Chicken Paillards With Peach And Arugula Salad Start to finish: 1 hour 20 minutes (20 minutes active) Servings: 8

2 pounds chicken breasts, pounded 1/16-inch-thick 1/4 cup lemon juice 1/4 cup extra-virgin oil 4 teaspoons minced garlic Kosher salt and ground black pepper 8 cups baby arugula 4 large peaches, thinly sliced 1/2 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt 1/4 cup light mayonnaise 2 ounces finely crumbled blue cheese 1 cup chopped toasted walnuts In a large zip-close plastic bag, combine the chicken with the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt and several grindings of pepper. Mix, then chill for 1 hour. Heat the grill to medium-high. Use an oil-soaked paper towel held with tongs to oil the grill grates. Remove the chicken from the

marinade, letting the excess liquid drip off. Grill the chicken until it is just cooked, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate, cover with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine the arugula and the peaches. In a small bowl combine the yogurt, mayonnaise and blue cheese. Stir in enough water to achieve the desired consistency (about 1/3 cup), then season with salt and pepper. Add the dressing to the salad and toss well. To serve, arrange one of the paillards on each serving plate and top with salad and nuts.

I’m not going to tell you how to dress your burger. I’m not going to tell you what sort of bun to put your burger on. I’m not really even going to tell you very much about how to cook your burger. But I am going to tell you how to make the best burger. Ever. And you start by avoiding the ground beef at the grocer at all costs. So let’s start there. Ground beef tends to be overworked during processing. And overworked beef is tough beef. Instead, you want to grab yourself sirloin steak tips, which are tender, meaty and full of flavor. But you’re not going to grind them. You’re going to chop them in the food processor. Not only does this prevent the beef from being overworked, it also gives the finished burgers a big beefy, tender steak-like texture. The trick to chopping the beef is to cut it into 1-inch chunks, then freeze it for about 15 minutes until it is just firm. These partially frozen chunks chop perfectly in the processor without becoming overworked. For seasoning, you want a blend of finely ground Parmesan cheese and Asian fish sauce. Don’t worry... The finished burgers will taste neither cheesy nor fishy. Both ingredients disappear into the steaky goodness of the beef without leaving behind noticeable flavors of their own. Yet they still impart tremendously savory flavors that produce an incredibly rich burger. Once your burgers are formed, how to cook them is your call. I like to grill them briefly over high heat, then finish them over cooler flames until just medium-rare.

Super Savory Chop-Your-Own Burgers Start to finish: 30 minutes

(15 minutes active) Servings: 4 4 ounces Parmesan cheese 1 1/3 pounds sirloin steak tips 1 tablespoon fish sauce 2 teaspoons soy sauce In a food processor, pulse the Parmesan until very finely ground; it should resemble breadcrumbs. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside. Cut the steak tips into 1-inch chunks, then arrange them in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pieces of beef are firm, but not frozen solid. Once the beef is firm, place half of the pieces in the processor (there is no need to wash it out after the Parmesan), then pulse until well chopped, but not ground. This should take about 1 minute of on-off pulsing. Transfer the chopped beef to the bowl with the cheese, then repeat the procedure with the remaining beef. Drizzle the fish sauce and soy sauce over the chopped beef, then use your hands to mix everything together. Make sure the cheese is evenly distributed, but try not to knead or overwork the meat. Divide the meat into 4 portions, then form each into a burger patty. As you form the patties, use your thumb to press an indentation into the center of each burger. This prevents the burgers from bulging in the center during cooking. The burgers can be grilled immediately or refrigerated for up to 2 days. Grill the burgers over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until well seared, then either move the burgers to a cooler part of the grill or reduce the flame and cook to desired doneness.

Choose any favorite combination of fresh fruit for grilled crisp • CRISP Continued from page D1 I make this crisp most often with a combination of berries, but almost any combination of fruit is delicious. Aim for a total of 8 to 10 cups of sliced fruit.

Summer Crisp With Pecan Streusel Topping Start to finish: 1 hour Servings: 8 For the streusel topping: 1 cup packed light brown sugar 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup regular or quick-cooking oatmeal (not instant) 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 3/4 cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, softened, cut into small pieces For the filling: 3 cups strawberries, halved 3 cups blueberries

2 cups blackberries or raspberries Zest and juice of 1 orange Zest and juice of 1 lemon 1/2 cup granulated sugar, more or less, depending on sweetness of the fruit 1/4 cup cornstarch 1 teaspoon cinnamon 2 to 3 tablespoons orange liqueur (optional) Vanilla ice cream, to serve Prepare a grill for medium heat, indirect cooking. For a charcoal grill, this means banking the hot coals to one side of the grill and cooking on the other side. For a gas grill, this means turning off one or more burners to create a cooler side, then cooking on that side. To make the topping, in a large bowl combine all ingredients except the butter. Mix well. Add the butter, then use a pastry blender or forks to work it in until the mixture resembles large, coarse breadcrumbs. Set aside. To make the filling, in a second large bowl combine all ingredients, mixing gently.

Set aside for 5 minutes. Place the berry mixture in an oven-safe 4-quart round casserole or soufflé dish, or a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish. Crumble the streusel mixture evenly over the fruit. Place the crisp over the cooler side of the grill, cover the grill and cook for 35 to 45 minutes, or until bubbly and the top is browned. Transfer the baking dish to a cooling rack. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Classic frozen pop from childhood remade as a pie By J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press Let’s get one thing clear – I am not proud of this recipe. And if it weren’t so ridiculously good, I’d be too humiliated to share it. But it is, and so I am. It all came about because I was chasing a childhood taste memory. I wanted the creamy-sweet richness of a Creamsicle, but I wanted it as a beverage. I did – albeit only momentarily – consider melting the real deal, then pouring it over ice, perhaps adulterating it with an adult beverage. But that seemed kind of gross. After a few misfires, I settled on combining a highend orange soda with vanilla ice cream in the blender, then pulsing until smooth, but still milk shake-thick. It was simple. It was kind of stupid. It was crazy delicious. Then I got inspired. What if after the soda and ice cream

were blended, the mixture was poured into a pie crust? And what if you then refroze the entire thing? And what if you then topped the resulting ice cream pie with a massive mound of whipped cream spiked with orange zest? What happens is you get a double orange-cream ice cream pie. And though the recipe is kind of trashy – OK, really trashy – I love it. And you will, too.

Orange-Vanilla Ice Cream Pie With Orange Whipped Cream Start to finish: 20 minutes active (plus several hours freezing) Servings: 6 1 pint vanilla ice cream 1 1/2 cups orange sherbet 1 cup orange soda 1 prepared graham cracker pie shell 1½ cups heavy cream 1 teaspoon orange extract 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Zest of 1 orange In a blender, combine the ice cream, sherbet and orange soda. Blend until smooth, stopping the blender and stirring the mixture as needed to ensure it blends evenly. Pour the mixture into the pie shell, then carefully transfer to the freezer. Freeze for several hours, or until firm. When ready to serve, in a large bowl combine the cream, extract and powdered sugar. Use an electric mixer to whip on high until the cream holds firm peaks. Fold in the orange zest, then mound the whipped cream over the ice cream pie. Let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes, or until thawed just enough to easily slice.

Couple weighs reconciliation Studies suggest link between lack of sleep and weight gain five years after violent split Dear Abby: Five years ago, my husband got drunk and physically attacked me in front of his family. It was horrible. I was in shock, and our relationship never recovered. The next four years were a series of court visits for custody of our child and eventually a divorce. Last year, his mother began requesting visits with our son. I was happy about it because I have tried to be accommodating to my ex and his family regarding our son. Finally, late last year, I called my ex to ask if we could sit down and discuss our son (something we had never done). We have met twice during the last two weeks, and each time had long conversations about everything (our son, our past, our relationship). Many misconceptions were cleared up, and it’s obvious we both have made many necessary changes within ourselves. Now I’m confused about what comes next. Speaking with him has brought back so many feelings. Before the attack, our stress levels had been high and our communication was terrible, but there had been no physical violence. I’m not sure if this is the universe giving us an opportunity to give the family we started another chance. Should we start

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips over? – Wavering In New York Dear Wavering: What comes next might be that you and your ex can become good friends and parent your son in a congenial, cooperative fashion. What comes next might be that you rekindle your romance. Or it might be that you get back together and he assaults you again. If your ex has sought help for his drinking and anger management issues, a reconciliation could work out beautifully. However, if he hasn’t, I certainly wouldn’t recommend it. Sometimes people can care deeply about each other, but shouldn’t be married. Dear Abby: My 95-year-old mom feels her age “entitles” her to speak without a filter, and she has become totally intolerant and critical. She is mentally sharp and highly intelligent, which makes her nasty comments even more hurtful to family and friends. Standing up to her isn’t an option because of her age, and she knows it. She doesn’t seem to recognize how damaging her attitude has become to those who love her. If you could print this

and offer some advice, she might recognize herself. – A

Loving Son Dear Loving Son: The fact that someone has celebrated 95 birthdays does not give the person license to be deliberately unkind to others. Negativity is an unattractive trait, regardless of how old you are. People who deliberately say hurtful things invariably find the circle of those who want to be around them shrinking. My advice to your mother would be, before opening her mouth, ask herself whether what she has to say is true, helpful and kind. And if it isn’t all three, she should rephrase her comment or not say it at all. Dear Abby: What does one say to casual acquaintances who stop by uninvited and with no prior phone call? –

Nancy In Aurora, Colorado Dear Nancy: Let me tell you first what one doesn’t say. It’s “Come in!” It is perfectly acceptable to explain that the person caught you in the middle of your housework or a project you need to finish and, please, in the future to call before dropping by so you can make some plans together. • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com or P.O.

Shy teenager anxious about making friends at new school

Dear Dr. K: I saw a headline that said children who sleep less weigh more. Is that true? How much sleep should my preschooler and first-grader get each night? Dear Reader: I believe you’re referring to a study recently published in the medical journal Pediatrics. Researchers found that children who don’t get enough sleep also may have a higher risk of being overweight. Researchers from Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital for Children kept track of more than 1,000 children from the ages of 6 months to 7 years. They asked mothers how much sleep their children got at the age of 6 months, 1 year and then every year until the end of the study. Between ages 7 and 8, researchers measured the children’s body fat and body mass index. They found that kids who were the most sleep-deprived were about two and a half times as likely to be obese as those who consistently got enough sleep. They also scored higher on other measurements of body fat. This study further confirms a link between sleep and weight. Many previous studies also have shown that when children and adults don’t get enough sleep, it increases their risk of being

overweight and having heart disease. How much sleep should your children get? These are the recommended daily amounts for young kids: • 6 months to 2 years: 12 hours • 3 to 4 years: 10 hours • 5 to 7 years: 9 hours Here are some ideas for improving the amount and quality of your child’s sleep: • Set and enforce a regular bedtime. • Limit TV, especially before bedtime. The kind of light emitted by a TV can make it harder to fall asleep. • Have soothing bedtime routines, such as bathing, quiet time and reading stories. • Consider room-darkening curtains or a white-noise machine. Why would sleeping less increase a child’s (or an adult’s) weight? We don’t know for sure that it does. But in recent years we’ve discovered some ways that it could. Most of the studies have been done with adults, not kids. In adults, experiments that restrict sleep to four to five hours each night

I have only two friends in Naples, but the three of us are close. Please tell me the best way to make new friends. I’ll be in the 10th grade. – Nameless,

Naples, Florida Nameless: You are not alone in being shy. All of us, even people who appear to be outgoing, have a degree of shyness, especially when they are relocating. The shyness appears when the person is placed in a group of strangers and thinks they might be smarter, have more experience or are more socially adept. One of the best ways to make friends is to smile your friendliest smile and offer a compliment about the person, their school or town, etc. We all like to hear nice things about ourselves or our surroundings, and we think kindly about the person who offers the compliments. Most high schools offer extracurricular activities ranging from interscholastic athletic competition for both guys and girls, clubs for those with common interests or working on the school newspaper or the yearbook.

use can cause serious health complications, even death. Sometimes, to get a greater amount of inhalant more quickly into their systems, users place a plastic bag over their heads. This is successful but, unfortunately, the person loses consciousness and dies from a lack of oxygen. Others die when their lungs are coated with inhalant and oxygen cannot penetrate the gooey film, causing death. Research has shown that many inhalants cause the heart to beat irregularly or stop entirely during strenuous activity, and death follows. The safest way to get high is to enjoy nature, love your family and spend time with your friends who inspire you to reach your goals. Any substance that causes a person to alter a normal behavior should be avoided. If you were considering experimenting with inhalants – don’t! While others might describe themselves as “high,” what is actually happening is that their brains are shutting down. It’s hard enough getting through this life when our brains are functioning properly. We don’t need to have our brains “shutting down” for any reason.

Most inhalants have no medical use, but are used routinely in the performance of everyday industrial or household tasks. There are two major inhalants used by unwise humans.

lead to a fall in blood levels of the hormone leptin. Leptin travels in the blood, reaches the brain and has two effects. First, it decreases appetite. Second, it speeds up metabolism, which leads the body to burn more calories. So lower-than-normal levels of leptin would increase appetite and cause the body to burn fewer calories. Restricting sleep increases blood levels of another hormone, ghrelin. This hormone is made in the stomach. When it reaches the brain, it increases appetite – particularly an appetite for high-calorie foods. Low blood levels of leptin and high blood levels of ghrelin are a kind of double whammy: They cause a person to consume more calories, and burn those calories less efficiently. Of course, sleep isn’t the only factor when it comes to childhood obesity. Along with making sure your children get enough sleep, make sure they are active for at least an hour a day. Limit sweetened drinks, and feed them a healthy diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables.

Tablas winemaker expertly managing 3-year drought A distraction forced Jason Haas to pause midstride. As mud started to gather around a tiny bubbling puddle, Haas, a partner and the general manager at Tablas Creek Vineyard, took notice with a look of concern. An irrigation line to one of the olive trees that line the ascending white gravel road leading to the hillside vineyards sprung a leak. In rainstarved Paso Robles, California, which is in a three-year drought, every drop counts. While Haas made a mental note to attend to the leak, he led a vineyard and winery tour that demonstrated his full grasp and forward-thinking leadership at Tablas Creek. Rather than wasting thousands of plastic water bottles on visitors, Haas has ice cold, refillable and reusable canteens at the entrance. The talented leader at Tablas Creek has an incredible vision and a great portfolio of wines.

UNCORKED James Nokes His Twitter handle is @ jasonchaas, and his running commentary and writing on the Tablas Creek blog is a unique insight into the winery and wine industry. In the tasting room, his handwritten notes were a precise collection of numerous tastings in pursuit of a final blend that is just right. A steel machine with a foot pedal sat on a wooden table under a tin-roofed shelter lined with limestone walls. Green-leafed canopies surrounded the Tablas Creek workstation as Haas grafted a rootstock to a vine. He used needle-nosed pliers to cut a single bud from the vine. He pumped the foot pedal under the table to start up the Omega Grafter, a machine that makes a cut shaped like the Greek

letter while it holds the bud in place. What’s left looks like a puzzle piece. He inserted the rootstock and made another cut. With one more pump of the pedal, the bud had been grafted to the rootstock. The bud is held in place where a grafting callous, a scar-like remnant of the Omega cut, is all that remains. A good grafting crew will have a 90 percent success rate. The callous is dipped in melted wax, and cold water seals the scar and keeps fungus out. The next stop is the greenhouse, where the new vine begins its three-month journey from cozy indoor conditions to the vineyard. In the vineyard, competition is encouraged. In 2005, Tablas Creek began to dry farm 25 to 30 acres with head trained blocks, widely spaced apart to force the vines to work hard to find water. “They’ve always only lived without water, there’s no training involved,” said

Haas, adding that the practice has naturally produced lower yields. “By August or September, you’d have to dig down 5 to 6 feet to find moisture. By October, it might be 8 feet. Vines, like most living things, are lazy. They will go down as far as they need.” While rain came late in the season to Tablas Creek, 7 of the 10 inches they’ve received this year came in March and finally turned the cover crop of oats, vetch, clover and sweet peas green. The cover crops limit erosion, and the legumes introduce nitrogen to the soil. “If you are going to get rain, it’s best to get it as late as possible so it is easily accessible to the vines,” Haas said. “This is the third year in a row we’ve had drought. We keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, but the vineyard looks great.”

What to buy Tablas Creek is well distributed, but if you can’t locate

a bottle, visit www.tablascreek.com. The flagship red, Esprit de Tablas 2011 ($55) and Esprit de Beaucastel ($44) are beautiful Rhone blends. While the Esprit de Tablas Blanc 2011 ($32) and Patelin de Tablas Blanc 2013 ($16) are a pair of white wines that illustrate Paso Robles is more than just a region with bold red wines. “Even we didn’t fully realize what we had, we knew the sun and warmth was good for the grapes,” Haas said. “But how cool the nights are has been great for the white wines, which have very much outperformed our expectations.”

Wine 101 The walk into the Tablas Creek vineyard is straight uphill where only a thin layer of top soil covers the calcareous earth. Strategic plantings offer each varietal the specific sun aspect they need. The steep, north-facing slope has Grenache Blanc and Syrah,

which also is on an eastern facing slope, to stay cooler. Mourvedre, Rousanne and Picpoul run down to Tablas Creek on the southeast slope, while Grenache gets a sunny, western-facing slope. Even when harvest wraps up and vines are getting ready to go dormant for the winter, Haas marveled at the hearty green canopy of Grenache. “It’s very leafy,” Haas said. “The canopy provides protection and photosynthesis. But it always looks healthy and happy. Everything else is red by November. Not Grenache. It’s yellow and green and thinks it’s spring. It grows easy, but is also easy to overproduce and end up diluted. Grenache needs warmth and has a thin skin and not too many tannins.”

An assortment of savory jams including Skillet Bacon Spread original bacon spread (from right), Taste of Inspirations mango pepper jelly, The Prairie Gypsies red hot lover jam, Wozz Kitchen Creations triple ale onion jam, and Terrapin Ridge Farms balsamic garlic and herb jam.

Jams increasingly strut their savory side By MICHELE KAYAL The Associated Press When Chicago chef Gregory Ellis makes a pork belly sandwich, he doesn’t stop at the belly. In addition to a fried egg and kumquat chow-chow, he adds a mystery ingredient – bacon jam. “People don’t know what to expect,” said Ellis, chef at the breakfast, brunch and lunch spot 2 Sparrows. “When they think bacon, they’re not expecting any of the sweetness that comes with it. It pleases everyone, and they like it after they try it.” The jam’s next stop on his menu: French toast. Bacon jam may coast on its key attraction – that would be the bacon – but the idea of savory jam has been around for ages. Hot pepper jam has long been a Southern staple, topping slabs of cream cheese at cocktail parties and luncheons. But today, chefs, gourmet food companies and home canners are taking savory ingredients to the next level, turning everything from garlic and onions to carrots and saffron into sweet condiments.

Be f o re Dan - Crystal La

“I’m always looking at ways to open people’s eyes to the different opportunities in preserve making,” said Marisa McClellan, creator of the blog “Food in Jars” and author most recently of “Preserving by the Pint.” “One of these things is savory jam.” The trend in home canning and preserving took off around 2009, fueled by the do-it-yourself movement and the poor economy. Savory jams, observers say, offer the next stop for people who’ve already mastered strawberry and blueberry. Savory jams are most often glossy, sticky, sweet-ish concoctions that occupy the space between chunky relishes made of pickled items and smoother spreads and purees. Their popularity is still growing, canners say, pushed by the gourmet world’s unrelenting appetite for new items. For instance, gourmet food purveyor Stonewall Kitchens introduced a bacon jam just this year. Company executives say demand for their savory jams continues to rise, and that the items sell as well as their sweet jams.

People walk by the Bellagio in Las Vegas. This year, hotels will take in a record $2.25 billion in revenue from fees and surcharges, 6 percent more than in 2013 and nearly double that of a decade ago, according to a new study. Nearly half of the increase can be attributed to new surcharges and hotels increasing the amounts of existing fees.

Doubling down Mimicking the airlines, hotels get fee-happy By SCOTT MAYEROWITZ The Associated Press NEW YORK – Forget bad weather, traffic jams and kids asking, “Are we there yet?” The real headache for many travelers is a quickly-growing list of hotel surcharges, even for items they never use. Guaranteeing two queen beds or one king bed will cost you, as will checking in early or checking out late. Don’t need the in-room safe? You’re likely still paying. And the overpriced can of soda may be the least of your issues with the hotel minibar. Vacationers are finding it harder to anticipate the true cost of their stay, especially because many of these charges vary from hotel to hotel, even within the same chain. Coming out of the recession, the travel industry grew fee-happy. Car rental companies charged extra for services such as electronic toll collection devices and navigation systems. And airlines gained notoriety for adding fees for checking luggage, picking seats in advance, skipping lines at security and boarding early. Hotel surcharges predate the recession, but recently properties have been catching up to the rest of the industry. “The airlines have done a really nice job of making hotel fees and surcharges seem reasonable,” said Bjorn Hanson, a professor at New York University’s hospitality school. This year, hotels will take in a record $2.25 billion in revenue from such add-ons, 6 percent more than in 2013 and nearly double that of a decade ago, according to a new study released Monday by Hanson. Nearly half of the increase can be attributed to new surcharges and hotels increasing the amounts of existing fees. Hanson said guests need to be “extra-attentive” to the fine print. Fewer

People wait in line to check into the Bellagio in Las Vegas. Perhaps nowhere are hotels pushing fees further than in Las Vegas. Resorts like The Bellagio are learning from airlines and selling enhancements. Want to skip the notoriously long Las Vegas check-in lines? That will be $30 extra. Want to check-in early? That’s another $30. Check-out late? Also $30. and fewer services come for free. Need to check out by noon but don’t have a flight until after dinner? Hotels once stored luggage as a courtesy. Now, a growing number charge $1 or $2 a bag. Shipping something to the hotel in advance of your trip? There could be a fee for that, too. The Hyatt Regency San Antonio, which subcontracts its business center to FedEx Office, charges $10 to $25 to receive a package, depending on weight. Some budget hotels charge $1.50 a night for in-room safes. Convincing a front desk employee to waive a fee at check-out is getting harder. Fees are more established, better disclosed and hotel employees are now trained to politely say no. “It’s the most difficult it’s ever been to get a charge removed,” Hanson said.

U.S. hotels last year took in $122.2 billion in room revenue, according to travel research company STR. Fees only add an extra 2 percent in revenue, but Hanson notes the majority of that money is pure profit. Some guests are revolting. Royce Breckon travels frequently for his job marketing outdoor sporting equipment but refuses to spend the night at any hotel charging for Internet. Charges typically range from $10 to $25 a night. “You can walk into just about any coffee shop and have it for free,” Breckon said. The American Hotel and Lodging Association said fees are common in the travel business and that its members disclose them at the time of booking.

U.S. home price gains slow in June By JOSH BOAK The Associated Press WASHINGTON – U.S. home prices increased at a slower pace in June – a cooldown that could continue for several more months. The Standard & Poor’s/CaseShiller 20-city home price index rose 8.1 percent in June from 12 months earlier, according to a Tuesday report. That’s down from 9.4 percent a month earlier and the smallest annual gain since December 2012. Yearly price growth weakened in all 20 cities. Home values in Cleveland nudged up just 0.8 percent. Las Vegas led with a 15.2 percent gain. But prices in Las Vegas, Phoenix, Miami and Tampa, Florida, are still at least 33 percent below their housing bubble peaks of almost a decade ago. The deceleration should help ease some of the price pressures on wouldbe buyers. After slumping at the start of 2014, existing-home sales have picked up as price gains have slowed. But buying remains 4.3 percent below the July 2013 level, according to the National Realtors Association.

FORT WORTH, Texas – American Airlines and US Airways are pulling flight listings from Orbitz after they were unable to reach an agreement on a long-term contract. American said it had already dropped its fares from the travel website and that US Airways listings would be pulled Sept. 1. Corporate customers of the airlines still will be able to book travel on Orbitz, but individuals will have to go to the airlines’ websites or other travel agents – including online ones such as Expedia and Travelocity. In a statement, Orbitz said “Our sites offer hundreds of airlines, which are eager to capture the revenue American is choosing to forego, and we will continue to show our customers a broad range of flight options.” The statement said Orbitz for Business was not impacted. The dispute centers on cost. Scott Kirby, president of American Airlines Group Inc., which owns both airlines, said the company “worked tirelessly with Orbitz to reach a deal” that would keep distribution costs competitive with those of low-cost carriers. Southwest Airlines, for example, sells 80 percent of its tickets on its own website, a move that saves money on travel-agency commissions. American has been trying for several years to cut commission spending by selling more tickets directly to consumers. That has led to fights with online travel agencies such as Orbitz Worldwide Inc. and Expedia Inc. and intermediaries such as Travelport and Sabre that operate ticketdistribution systems.

Durable goods orders surge 22.6 percent WASHINGTON – Business orders for long-lasting manufactured goods shot up by the largest amount on record in July. But most of the strength came from demand for commercial aircraft, which tends to fluctuate sharply from month to month. Outside of transportation, orders dipped. Despite the broader weakness in July, most analysts said factory output will likely support solid economic growth in the second half of this year as companies increase their orders for the equipment they need to meet rising demand. Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, noted that some manufacturers are starting to run out of production capacity and that loans to businesses are up sharply. “We suspect that investment will prove to be one of the economy’s bright spots in the second half of this year,” Dales wrote in a research note.

Consumer confidence near a 7-year high

A sign in front of a home for sale in Whittier, California. The Standard & Poor’s/CaseShiller 20-city home price index rose 8.1 percent in June from 12 months earlier, according to a Tuesday report. Price growth should continue to slow now that the recovery from the Great Recession has entered its sixth year. Many economists project that the Federal Reserve will begin

to raise short-term interest rates in 2015 because the economy has strengthened.

WASHINGTON – U.S. consumer confidence this month reached its highest point in nearly seven years, boosted by strong job gains. The Conference Board said Tuesday that its confidence index rose for a fourth straight month to 92.4 from 90.3 in July. The August reading is the highest since October 2007, two months before the Great Recession officially began. The optimism suggests Americans will be more likely to spend in the months ahead, an important boost to the economy. Consumer spending drives about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity.

With extra income, is it smarter to pay off debts or invest? It probably doesn’t happen as much as you’d like, but from time to time, you have some extra disposable income. When this happens, how should you use the funds? Assuming you have adequate emergency savings – typically, three to six months’ worth of living expenses – should you pay off debts or fund your IRA or another investment account? There’s no one “correct” answer – and the priority of these options may change, depending on your financial goals. However, your first step may be to consider what type of debt you’re thinking of paying down with your extra money. For example, if you have a consumer loan that charges a high rate of interest – and you can’t deduct the

FINANCE Steve Middaugh interest payments from your taxes – you might conclude that it’s a good idea to get rid of this loan as quickly as possible. Still, if the loan is relatively small, and the payments aren’t really impinging on your monthly cash flow that much, you might want to consider putting any extra money you have into an investment that has the potential to offer longerterm benefits. For instance, you might decide to fully fund your IRA for the year before tackling minor debts. (This year, you can contribute up to $5,500 to a traditional or

Roth IRA, or $6,500 if you’re 50 or older.) When it comes to making extra mortgage payments, however, the picture is more complicated. In the first place, mortgage interest is typically tax deductible, which makes your loan less expensive. Even beyond the issue of deductibility, you may instinctively feel that it’s best to whittle away your mortgage and build as much equity as possible in your home. But is that always a smart move? Increasing your home equity is a goal of many homeowners – after all, the more equity you have in your home, the more cash you’ll get when you sell it. Yet, if your home’s value rises – which, admittedly, doesn’t always happen – you will

still, in effect, be building equity without having to divert funds that could be placed elsewhere, such as in an investment. In this situation, it’s important to weigh your options. Do you want to lower your mortgage debts and possibly save on cumulative interest expenses? Or would you be better served to invest that money for potential growth or interest payments? Here’s an additional consideration: If you tied up most of your money in home equity, you may well lose some flexibility and liquidity. If you were to fall ill or lose your job, could you get money out of your home if your emergency savings fund fell short? Possibly, in the form of a home equity line of credit or a

second mortgage, but if you were not bringing in any income, a bank might not even approve such a loan – no matter how much equity you have in your house. You may more easily be able to sell stocks, bonds or other investment vehicles to gain access to needed cash. Getting some extra money once in a while is a nice problem to have. Still, you won’t want to waste the opportunity – so, when choosing to pay down debts or put the money into investments, think carefully.

Some hotels are bucking the trend as others cash in Nearly 35 percent of • HOTEL FEES Continued from page E1 Hotels first started adding surcharges in 1997, mostly at resorts with expansive pools, tennis courts and fancy gyms. The so-called resort fees paid for staff to set up beach umbrellas and lounge chairs. Three years later, hotels added energy surcharges to cover rising utility bills. Hotels then refrained from adding any major surcharge for several years. But as airlines and car rental agencies made fees commonplace, hotels started to think up new ones, collecting record amounts in each of the past four years, according to Hanson’s research. Even the in-room minibar – a decades-old splurge – isn’t safe from the new wave of add-ons. At the Liberty Hotel in Boston, a cold can of Coke from the minibar costs $5. That’s just the base price. The fine print on the menu reveals an 18-percent “administrative fee” to restock the bar. Elsewhere, the in-room offerings are more conspicuous. Jimmy R. Howell was shocked by the W San Diego’s efforts to sell him snacks and drinks. “Usually these extras are kept under lock and key,” Howell says. At the W, they were “strewn about” the room, above the bar, on the desk, nightstands and in the bathroom. “It seems like an effort to tempt you.”

A tram travels by the front of the Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. For $650 a night, guests at the St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort – set on a former coconut plantation in Puerto Rico – enjoy rooms with 300-thread-count sheets and walk-in closets. But that’s not the full price. There’s a $60 nightly resort charge, which provides for a welcome drink upon check-in, Internet access, the use of beach umbrellas and lounge chairs, bicycles and a daily poolside ritual iced tea service that includes fruit skewers. Guests pay whether they use the services or not. Other hotels are adding mandatory tips. The Fairmont Southampton in Bermuda, which was recently charging $469 a night, charges a resort fee and mandatory gratuities for each person in a room. So two adults and two kids sharing a room would incur $48.28 a night in resort fees and $40.80 tips – adding 19

Even moving an item in the minibar can generate a fee. The Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, like many other hotels, bills items to guests’ rooms if sensors in the minibar note they have been removed for more than 60 seconds – enough time, hotels say, to read the nutritional information and make a decision. The Aria goes one step further. It also charges a $25 a day “personal use fee” if a guest puts their own soda or bottled water in the minibar. A guest in need of a mini refrigerator can have one delivered to their room – for an extra $35 a night. Some hotels are bucking the trend. Hyatt’s upscale boutique Andaz chain offers complimentary local snacks and non-alcoholic drinks from its minibars. Hotels also are revisiting resort fees, upping the price, especially at the high end.

percent to the nightly rate. And the fees aren’t limited to resorts anymore. The Serrano hotel in downtown San Francisco adds on a $20 a night “Urban Fee” that includes Internet, local phone calls, newspapers, morning coffee and use of bicycles. Perhaps nowhere are hotels pushing fees further than in Las Vegas. Forget resort fees. Those are taken for granted there. Resorts like The Bellagio are learning from airlines and selling enhancements. Want to skip the notoriously long Las Vegas check-in lines? That will be $30 extra. Want to check-in early? That’s another $30. Check-out late? Also $30. And if you want two queen beds or one king bed, it will cost extra to guarantee your preference. For an extra – you guessed it – $30, the Bellagio will lock in three room preferences such as bed type, requests to be near or far away from the elevators, rooms on a high or low floor or the option to have quieter nonconnecting rooms. Then there was the fee Hank Phillippi Ryan, a mystery writer, faced while in town to sign copies of her new book “Truth Be Told” at a convention. Before heading to the airport, she went to the lobby of the Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino to print her boarding pass. There a kiosk offered the service – for $7.95. “I think I actually yelped,” she said. “I had never seen that before.”

homeowners underwater • HOME PRICES Continued from page E1 That could cause mortgage rates to rise from relative lows and make it more expensive to borrow. “Rising mortgage rates won’t send housing into a tailspin but will further dampen price gains,” said David Blitzer, chairman of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices. Even hot markets such as San Francisco – where a two-bedroom condominium can cost more than $1 million – are finding that price growth has slowed. Prices in that city rose 12.9 percent in June, compared with an annual growth rate of 18.4 percent in April. The sharp price gains of the past few years had been part of a natural snap back in response to the devastating housing bust, which triggered the recession at the end of 2007. Still, the fallout from that downturn continues to cast a shadow over the real estate market. Nearly 35 percent of homeowners are “effectively underwater” on their mortgages, meaning that they either have less than 20 percent equity in their homes or could not sell their

properties and have enough money left over for a down payment on another home, the online real estate firm Zillow said Tuesday. One consequence is that fewer homeowners are willing to list their homes for sale. The effect has been disproportionately felt among Generation X. About 19 percent of this generation – 35to 49-year olds – owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth. That in turn makes it harder for the younger millennial generation to afford homes, Zillow Chief Economist Stan Humphries said. “Because so many homes are stuck in negative equity or are effectively underwater, the inventory of homes for sale is severely constrained, leading to more competition for those that are available,” Humphries said. “And millennials likely don’t have the resources to compete with cash offers or engage in bidding wars.” New construction is increasingly catering toward apartment rentals and highend homes, pricing out many other would-be buyers. The Commerce Department said Monday that newhome sales fell 2.4 percent in July to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 412,000.

Tom Hodgkinson is a British writer who has a relaxed approach to life, letting it come to him. He said, “We no longer sing and dance. We don’t know how to. Instead, we watch other people sing and dance on the television screen. Christmas, which was once a festival of active enjoyment, has turned into a binge of purely passive pleasures.” Do you agree with that? This week we are comparing active and passive defense. The bidding is the irst piece of evidence. In today’s deal, look at the auction and West’s hand. What should West lead against four spades? North’s three-heart response was a transfer bid, showing ive or more spades and at least zero points. His three-no-trump rebid offered a choice of games. Here South would have done well to settle for three no-trump, which has nine top tricks. But it was normal to bid four spades with such weak clubs and the potential blockage in spades. It is very dangerous to lead around to a big balanced

hand. West ought to select a trump. (A club is safe here, but I dislike leading from a jack.) South can make his contract if he plays with mirrors, catching West in a red-suit endplay. The curious may work out the details. But declarer is likely to use his two club entries to dummy to try each red-suit inesse and go down when they both fail. He would lose one heart, two diamonds and one club. However, if West leads actively, picking the heart four, he concedes the contract immediately.

HOROSCOPE

! !

TODAY - Your intuition will not let you down. Coming to terms with past regrets, your present situation and your plans for the future will give you the confidence you need to succeed. Others may question your beliefs and plans, but you’re the one in charge. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don’t try to keep up with what others are doing. Spend time on your own projects and take things as they come. If you trust in your abilities, you’ll rise to the top. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you are doubtful about a new offer, reserve judgment until you have all the relevant details. Ask questions and find out what you are dealing with before making a commitment. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A partnership will develop and complement what you have to offer, if you are assertive enough. Be clear about boundaries and honest about your expectations. Move forward with confidence. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Make a point not to lend, borrow or gamble. You will be further ahead if you observe without participating. Love is on the rise, and romance will make your day. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don’t jump at the first offer that comes your way. Wait until you find the most attractive deal and negotiate until it fits your agenda. A savvy show of knowledge will lead to success. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Financial benefits are possible if you take advantage of a promising deal. You may learn some valuable lessons by helping take care of another’s financial affairs. Plan a romantic evening. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t be fooled by appearances. The person or deal that seems so attractive at the moment will turn out much worse than anticipated. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Don’t settle for second best. Your leadership qualities can propel you to the top of your career, so make sure that everyone knows you mean business. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A personal change will boost your confidence. Look after details that bring you closer to your goals. Once you feel that you’ve achieved what you want, you will be able to help others. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Hard work is good for you, but once in a while you need to take a break. Open your home to friends and colleagues for a night of socializing or networking. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Stay calm and avoid coming on too strong. A demanding approach with others will alienate you. Keep emotions in check and avoid discord. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Someone you have worked with in the past will be the key to a lucrative partnership now. Your moneymaking ideas, propelled by experience and expertise, will take flight if you collaborate.
