Mental Health Board touts recent reforms Staff reduced; administrative expenses predicted to shrink By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A leaner, more accountable and more responsive McHenry County Mental Health Board introduced itself Tuesday to the County Board. After a year of tumultuous change that critics argued was much needed and long overdue, a Mental Health Board made up of almost all Lyn Orphal new members McHenry is tackling re- County form and taking Mental Health it in the best Board interim d i r e c t i o n t o executive serve the men- director tally disabled, Interim Executive Director Lyn Orphal told County Board members. “[New members] are very Donna Kurtz interested in McHenry what the Mental County Board Health Board Public Health does, they’re and Human exceeding all Services expectations, a s k i n g q u e s - Committee tions, wanting chairwoman to learn things, wanting to be a participant,” Orphal said. The nine-member board is appointed by the County Board to distribute funds from a special property tax levy to agencies serving residents with mental or developmental disabilities. The Mental Health Board plans next year to disburse the same $8.4 million to local agencies that it is distributing for the current fiscal year, despite flagging tax revenues. This year’s disbursements included $798,000 for a number of new developmental disability programs. Board members are departing from past practice to take a more hands-on role in how county tax dollars are distrib-

Elvin Daniel of Johnsburg poses for a portrait in front of a photograph of his sister, Zina Haughton, who was fatally shot along with two of her co-workers by her estranged husband in 2012. Daniel, a gun owner and NRA member, has since been advocating for background checks being required for all gun purchases.

Advocacy amid loss Sister’s death pushes Johnsburg man to urge expansion of firearm background checks By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com JOHNSBURG – Elvin Daniel is in it for the long haul. Daniel, a Johnsburg resident, testified last week before the Senate Judiciary Committee in Washington on two bills designed to expand the range of firearm background checks, the third effort that he has promoted since his sister, Zina Haughton, was killed by her estranged husband. He doesn’t expect this one to succeed either. “We knew coming into it that it wasn’t going to be easy,” Daniel said. Haughton, 42, was shot

along with six others by her husband, Radcliffe Haughton, 45, at the salon and spa where she worked in Brookfield, Wisconsin, in October 2012. She was killed, along with two of her co-workers. Radcliffe Haughton later died of Zina a self-inflict- Haughton ed gunshot wound. Zina Haughton, a mother of two, had filed for divorce, and an order of protection against her husband had been granted after he slashed the tires of her car while she was at work. He was prohib-

ited under the restraining order to have a gun. But Radcliffe Haughton was able to obtain a gun from a private seller he found online. The shooting happened the next day. That’s why Daniel and his wife, Cheryl, have been advocating in the Wisconsin State Legislature and Congress for universal background checks, as well as some other measures, including expanded use of GPS monitoring, despite his status as a gun owner and National Rifle Association member. “In my own mind, I thought that just because I went through a background check, everybody had to

go through a background check, and then we started finding out about the loopholes,” he said. “I truly believe to this day that Zina may still be alive and with us today [if those loopholes had been closed].” Jane Farmer, the executive director of Woodstock-based Turning Point, sees firearms playing an increased role in domestic violence. “It’s not something that’s always used against his partner, but it’s something that he’ll lay on the table during an argument or he’ll wear as he’s moving around the room,” she said.

See FIREARMS, page A4

“In my own mind, I thought that just because I went through a background check, everybody had to go through a background check, and then we started finding out about the loopholes. I truly believe to this day that Zina may still be alive and with us today [if those loopholes had been closed].” Elvin Daniel, brother of Zina Haughton, who was shot and killed by her estranged husband in 2012

uted, Mental Health Board President Connee Meschini said. The 26 agencies that have applied for 2015 funding for more than 120 different programs will make their cases in a series of August and September meetings that will be open to the public. “This is totally different from how it’s been done in the past,” Meschini told County Board members. Funding has been able to stay the same in significant part because the board has trimmed an administrative budget that critics labeled excessive and a case of mission overreach. It has cut its staff size to about 14, down from 34 last fiscal year, and Meschini predicts that administrative expenses by the end of 2014 will shrink from 26 percent to 18 percent. County Board members who have wanted reform lauded the progress the Mental Health Board has made at the end of its half-hour presentation. Several agencies that receive funding later spoke in support of the Mental Health Board during public comment. “You’re moving things in a better direction than you have in the past, and I’m thankful for that,” said board member Michael Walkup, R-Crystal Lake. Donna Kurtz, chairwoman of the County Board Public Health and Human Services Committee, called the changes an appreciated “huge step forward.” Her committee is in charge of recommending appointments to the Mental Health Board, as well as reviewing its annual budget. “When we review your budget, we’re going to be looking at your approach at reducing your internal costs. We want to continue to see a thoughtful process of reducing your costs so you can increase the amount of money going out to the agencies seated here,” said Kurtz, R-Crystal Lake. A search for a permanent executive director is ongoing by the Mental Health Board.

Quinn officials refuse to explain hiring fix Administration says no final decisions have been made regarding reclassified jobs By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – When a good-government campaigner sued Gov. Pat Quinn in April over political hiring at the Illinois Department of Transportation, the administration responded that it had already taken action by reviewing and reclassifying jobs, which wouldn’t be subject to political considerations in the future. But asked to explain what it did, the Quinn administration has refused to identify which jobs were redefined or

“Government agencies are not allowed to have secret rules or laws that they use to make decisions.” Matt Topic Government transparency lawyer with the Chicago firm of Loevy & Loevy how state officials determined whether anti-patronage rules applied – because it has made no final decisions. The administration’s rejection of a Freedom of Information Act request from The Associated Press, citing a clause in the law that protects preliminary deliberations, contradicts its earlier declaration

that it had reviewed job descriptions, reclassified posts, and fixed the political hiring practice after the release of a critical watchdog report last year. The IDOT employment issue is one of several nagging Quinn as the Democrat portrays himself as a lifelong government reformer amid a

stiff re-election battle against Republican businessman Bruce Rauner. Quinn said he has ended the clout-stained hiring practices of his predecessors and made government openness a hallmark of his administration, but Rauner and other critics question his commitment to it. The FOIA denial contradicts the administration’s assertion that it fixed the problem in the spring. The administration also is refusing to disclose the guidelines the government has used for

State fair a big loser for government SPRINGFIELD – Twenty years ago, the state implemented reforms designed to make the Illinois State Fair break even. They failed. Big time. The fair has been as sure-fired a loser as a kid playing a carnival game. Well, maybe that’s not fair. Every once and awhile, a youngster actually wins. Not so with the fair. It’s a carnie’s dream: A loser that won’t quit. It and its Southern cousin, the DuQuoin State Fair, haven’t broke even once in the past two decades. State Fair Manager Amy Bliefnick told me she doesn’t know whether it’s possible for the state fair to operate in the black. Leave it to a government bureaucrat to think losing money is always an option. During the past 20 years,

LOTTERY

VIEWS Scott Reeder the state fairs have lost $71.2 million. Illinois taxpayers have paid those deficits. That’s money the state could have used to pay for something really important. Instead it has been spent on a couple of festivals. Don’t get me wrong. I love the fairs. As a teenager, I showed cattle and hogs. As parent, I’ve carried each of my three daughters on my shoulders through every nook and cranny of the State Fairgrounds. Just last week, my 83-year-old father was regaling me with stories

The State Fair of Texas is operated by a nonprofit corporation that manages to take in about $8 million more than it spends each year. That money gets spent on improving the Dallas city park where the fair is held. So state fairs can break even. They can even turn a profit. At a time when Illinois state government has the worst credit rating in the nation and is paying its bills months late, it’s time to take a serious look at making the fairs self-sufficient.

of how he and his best friend from high school showed Duroc hogs at the State Fair in 1950. He tells me the fair’s hog barn looks the same as 64 years ago. And, folks, it smells just the same, too. But what really stinks are these deficits. Hosting fairs and festivals is not a core government function. The money would be much better spent educating our kids, keeping our roads safe, incarcerating the worst in our society or lowering taxes. Instead, we are spending it to bring Tilt-A-Whirls and deep-fried Snickers bars to Springfield. Sorry, fairs are nice but not something in which government should be involved. They have known that for quite some time in the Lone Star State.

Candidate’s résumé at issue

LOCAL BRIEFS LITH man charged with child porn possession LAKE IN THE HILLS – A Lake in the Hills man has been charged with multiple counts of child pornography possession as part of a statewide initiative to crack down on the offense. Jonathon A. Morgan, 29, of the 1200 block of Birch Street, was charged Wednesday with three counts of possession of child pornography, a Class 2 felony punishable by three to seven years in prison. Investigators from Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office and officers from the Lake in the Hills Police Department and the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office conducted a search warrant at Morgan’s home that led to the charges. Morgan was the 67th person arrested as part of Operation Glass House, which Madigan launched in 2010 to investigate and arrest offenders trading child pornography online. The McHenry County state’s attorney’s office will prosecute the case. A bond hearing for Morgan is scheduled for Thursday.

‘Radiothon’ raises more than $5K in Huntley HUNTLEY – A 24-hour online radio marathon recently netted the volunteers at Huntley Community Radio more than $5,600 in donations. More than 3,000 listeners tuned in for the “Radiothon,” which lasted from Friday evening to Saturday evening. The fundraiser featured a variety of programs, interviews and contests. Guests included state Sens. Pam Althoff and Karen McConnaughay, Village President Chuck Sass, Village Manager Dave Johnson, Police Chief John Perkins and District 158 Superintendent John Burkey. The Huntley station needs about $40,000 total to purchase the necessary equipment to broadcast locally on FM radio, after the Federal Communications Commission granted the group permission in March. The station previously raised more than $8,000 during a June fundraiser. Highlights from the recent “Radiothon” will be replayed this coming Friday, Monday and Wednesday at huntleyradio.com.

Kopsell edged out rivals by 28 votes in primary Continued from page A3 Wednesday morning interview. The résumé does not stoop to the level of a political dirty trick, given that it is otherwise accurate and does not include defamatory statements. But Kopsell has to win the Nov. 4 election to join the County Board. Kopsell, incumbent Republican Joe Gottemoller and Democratic former board member Kathleen Bergan

Schmidt are running for the two open seats. Kopsell, a decorated Vietnam War veteran, served four terms as township highway commissioner until he lost his April 2013 re-election bid. He won the March GOP primary for County Board by 28 votes, edging out challengers Nancy Gonsiorek and Sarah Jansen. Current District 3 board member Mary McClellan did not seek a second term in favor of running for county clerk. She won her contested primary.

Quinn’s office referred questions to the state personnel agency, which handles such reviews. Department of Central Management Services spokeswoman Alka Nayyar acknowledged in an emailed statement that the process had not been completed.

August 2013 Better Government Association report that Quinn and his predecessor, the now-imprisoned Rod Blagojevich, had hired as many as 200 “staff assistants” without adhering to rules that prohibit political considerations and without properly offering the jobs to the general public. The day Shakman filed his motion, an IDOT spokesman said the administration had already taken decisive action – 61 remaining staff-assistant positions were reviewed and officials determined 50 should have been protected from political considerations. In May, the AP requested from IDOT and CMS documents showing which jobs had been reclassified as merit-based and open to all applicants. But the administration denied the requests, citing an exemption under the law for documents deemed preliminary, “in which opinions are

expressed, or policies or actions formulated.” Among the documents CMS is withholding is a consultant’s report on how to determine whether a job should be classified as merit-based and open to everyone, calling it “preliminary” and private information between an attorney and client. Public access lawyers argue that the government guidelines used to make these decisions, which have been in use for nearly a quarter-century, should be public. The AP has appealed the FOIA denial to the state attorney general’s office, which has not ruled on the matter. Topic, whose clients include the BGA, said the “pre-decisional” exemption is historically one of the most abused by government agencies nationwide. “The lack of transparency is troubling, but not surprising,” Shakman said.

Mentally ill man committed until 2071 By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A mentally ill man who drove his car head-on into another, killing the passenger inside, will be committed indefinitely for inpatient treatment, a judge ruled Wednesday. Luis E. Ramirez-Arguelles, 24, formerly of Round Lake Beach, previously was found not guilty by reason of insanity for the 2011 crash that killed Sonia Hume. At the time of his arrest, Luis E. he told police Ramirezhe heard voices Arguelles telling him to stop the “bad guys” in the car driven by Hume just before he crashed with her Aug. 5, 2011. He was traveling at more than 55 mph on Tryon Grove Road, just east of Barnard Mill Road, in the Hebron area. Ramirez-Arguelles told authorities he believed he was a ninja, had special powers and could see into hearts. The maximum Ramirez-Arguelles can be committed for mental health treatment with the Department of Human Services is 60 years, meaning he’d be eligible for release in August 2071. An earlier release is dependent on his treatment plan and subject to approval from the court, Assistant State’s Attorney Sharyl Eisenstein said. A court date for a status on his treatment plan is set for Nov. 12.

Man charged with arson

CL man charged with tampering with drug test

Blaze left home uninhabitable By STEPHEN DiBENEDETTO and ALLISON GOODRICH editorial@nwherald.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – A Lake in the Hills man has been charged with aggravated arson after a fire left his house uninhabitable Tuesday night. Wesley P. Streit Jr., 18, of 1125 Patton Ave., Lake in the Hills, initially was arrested

Tuesday on charges of criminal damage to property by use of fire, a Class 3 felony, according to a notice from the Lake in the Hills Police Department. On Wednesday morning, however, the charge was upgraded to aggravated arson, a Class X felony, Lake in the Hills Police Deputy Chief Mary Frake said. The Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District was called around 7:20 p.m. Tuesday for a residential structure fire at 1125 Patton Ave. Lt. Bill Pelinski said

firefighters contained the blaze, which Frake said engulfed the back of the house, within 15 minutes of arrival. Three individuals inside the home already were outside by the time firefighters arrived, Pelinski said. An adult female was transported for precautionary reasons, he said. The upgraded charge was decided upon after “further review with the state’s attorney [Wednesday] morning,” Frake said, adding the decision was based on damage to

the structure, in addition to the fact that there were two other people in the house. Firefighters deemed the house uninhabitable, although the fire was contained to the interior. The cause of the fire is under investigation, Pelinski said. Departments from Carpentersville, Cary, Crystal Lake, Fox River Grove and Huntley assisted Algonquin-Lake in the Hills firefighters. Frake said Streit was in custody in the McHenry County Jail.

CRYSTAL LAKE

Feedback sought for playground project By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Residents will have an opportunity to weigh in Thursday on planned improvements to the aging West Beach playground on Crystal Lake during a special board meeting. The meeting, scheduled for 7 p.m. at the West Beach Recreation Building at 2330 Lake Ave., will give residents an opportunity to review three proposed renovations

for the small playground before construction begins in the early fall. Park district executive director Jason Herbster said each option is similar with a climbing structure and swing set featured as the centerpiece. He said the new playground would have a smaller footprint than the existing one and would be constructed so the view of the lake would not be disturbed. “It’s a pretty small playground, but it gets a fair

amount of use from people who go to West Beach and live near there,” Herbster said. “It’s been part of our capital replacement plan to replace it.” The final cost of the project would be determined by which plan is selected. No action will be taken by the board as the meeting was scheduled only to hear from the public, Herbster said. The project is one of multiple renovations occurring at Crystal Lake parks, in-

cluding a major $1.2 million makeover of Woodscreek Park that includes a splash pad, a second tennis court, a second fishing pier, bocce courts, baggo courts and a new parking lot. The district received a $400,000 grant for that project. Renovations also are occurring at the small playground at Barlina House Preschool. Herbster said construction on all the projects should be completed in the fall.

Official: Meyer must decide whether to request more time

JAMES H. BANGIORNO SR.

Mining slated to end in June 2016 By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com CARY – The ball is in Meyer Material’s court as to whether it wants to formally petition for more time to mine, the Cary village administrator said. After an annual presentation from Meyer Material during Tuesday’s Village Board meeting, Village Administrator Chris Clark said the board reiterated the existing agreement that calls for the end of mining operations by June 2016 stands. That deal states that mining operations have to be completed by June 2016, and restoration has to be completed by

June 2018. Clark said Meyer needs to decide whether it wants to go through a zoning process and officially ask for an extension, stop mining in June 2016 or start paying monthly $100,000 fines for mining past the deadline. The company has floated the idea of asking that mining operations be allowed to continue until June 2018, as restoration work goes on simultaneously, in order to leave behind a lake that is the size that was originally projected in 2008 when the work was approved. “The board is concerned about the adjacent residents and the impact [Meyer] has,” Clark said. Meyer Material is behind its planned schedule for mining gravel on 102 acres along Route 31. Even though work has picked up in the past few

years after the downturn in the economy, the company has not been able to catch up to where it wanted to be. Meyer could request for an amendment to its conditional-use permit for additional time for mining operations. This would require a hearing with the Board of Zoning, Planning and Appeals, and approval by the Village Board. In the past, Meyer had asked for a four-year extension of mining operations for four years because of poor economic conditions. The zoning board recommended denying the request, and the company withdrew the request before the Village Board could make a decision on the matter. The company can proceed with mining past June 2016, but would have to pay monthly $100,000 fines until mining operations cease.

“It could be a business decision for Meyer to pay the [fines] as part of the process,” Clark said. “Ultimately, Meyer corporate needs to decide what is the best move. “The ball is in their court.” Meyer Material could continue at its current pace and cease mining operations by June 2016. With operations behind schedule, the entire project will not have been mined as planned and likely leave a smaller lake than originally presented in 2008. Clark added company and village officials have discussed meeting about the issue during the next 90 days. “It’s good they are being open about it,” Clark said. “The board is balancing the concerns.” A phone call to Meyer Material was not returned Wednesday.

WOODSTOCK

Library develops three-year plan By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The Woodstock Public Library will look to beef up technology, better its relationship with District 200 and reach more of the community throughout the next three years. The board of trustees has finished compiling its threeyear strategic plan, an eightpage document guiding the library’s priorities and goals. Library director Nick Weber said that ideally, the plan functions as a “living document.”

“It’s something that becomes an integral part of what we do here on a daily basis,” Weber said. The strategic plan outlines goals in five areas: customer service, collection development, educational support, technology and community enrichment. While some bullet points highlight areas in which the library already excels and wants to maintain a focus, Weber said, others point toward concrete improvements to library services. Under “technology,” the

plan calls for the library to offer eReaders for checkout by the end of the year, and to explore tablet and/or laptop checkout next year, among other goals. Library officials hope that – under an “educational support” bullet point – they can better work with local schools to coordinate with their curricula. The lines of communication already have opened, Weber said. “I think we’re moving into a more collaborative phase with the district, and I think that’s a good thing,” he said.

Library receives grant for Teen Read Week

Lake in the Hills to have online permit portal

NORTHWEST HERALD JOHNSBURG – The Teen Read Week program run by the Johnsburg Public Library will receive a $1,000 grant to support its activities. The grant was awarded to 10 libraries nationwide by the American Library Association’s young adult services division and funded through the Dollar General Literacy Foundation. Recipients of the grant were selected based on the overall impact, need and cohesiveness of the program, according to a news release from the American Library Association. Johnsburg’s program will begin with a contest where teens can vote for their favorite novel out of 25 nominees. The vote starts Aug. 15 and runs through Teen Read Week. Stacey Kade, author of the Project Paper Doll trilogy, will visit the library for a presentation, question-and-an-

swer session and autograph signing Oct. 16. The grant will be used to fund other events that will take place during the week, including turning the children and young adult section haunted through the month of October and an interactive “Unique, Spooky, Scary, Supernatural Show” performed by William Pack, said Heather Stewart, the library’s teen librarian and book club moderator. Every teen that attends Pack’s performance will receive a copy of “Ghost Tales: Poltergeists, Haunted Houses, and Messages from Beyond” by Billy Roberts. The book will be discussed after William Pack’s presentation. Immediately following the presentation, attendees will construct leaf lanterns to take outside for a campfire and book discussion, which be followed by a playing of the audiobook “Scary Stories” by Alvin Schwartz.

LAKE IN THE HILLS – The Community Development Department plans to place a new public portal on the Lake in the Hills village website, according to a news release. The public portal, which is scheduled to be available at www.lith.org starting Monday, will allow residents, contractors and businesses to apply for certain building permits, check the status of permits, apply for a contractor’s or business license, request an inspection or report a code violation, the news release said. Users will need to create an account with a username and password to access the services, the news release said. For information, call the Community Development Department at 847-960-7440.

Most exciting to Weber is the “community outreach” category, under which library officials have called for better integration into city and regional events. The library also has ambitions to better its web, social media and app presence. “There’s still a big chunk of this community that doesn’t realize all the things we can offer them,” Weber said. “All the things they can take advantage of if they knew what the library was, and how it has changed in the last 20 or 30 years.”

SKETCH VIEW

West Nile virus lies low West Nile virus might be lying low in Illinois this summer, but that doesn’t mean people should let their guard down. It’s true that, as of Wednesday, no human cases had been reported, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health. But 27 Illinois counties had detected the virus in their bird or mosquito populations, including Kane and Lake counties. McHenry County has had zero confirmed For the record cases. Mosquitoes Experts report that, in the that bite infected general population, of all birds can transmit people bitten by mosquitoes West Nile to huwith West Nile, 20 percent will mans, so the trick develop symptoms. is to prevent that from happening. Experts advise people to empty water from outdoor receptacles to eliminate mosquito breeding areas around the house and yard. It’s a good idea to check screens in doors and windows for holes and fix any that you find so the pesky bugs can’t get inside. People should avoid going outdoors during active mosquito times at dawn and dusk. Using an effective mosquito repellent is advised, along with clothing that covers arms and legs. An additional way to be proactive is to be on the lookout for dead birds. If you see one, report it to your local health department, so officials can decide whether to test it. Along with crows, birds that can become infected and die are robins, blue jays, grackles, starlings, house finches, cardinals, house sparrows and mourning doves. When West Nile first burst onto the scene in the early 2000s, Illinois was hit hard. In 2002, 553 cases were confirmed in Illinois, and 67 people died. Compare that to five years ago, when no one died from West Nile, and only five cases were reported statewide. But in 2010, four people died out of 61 human cases, and in 2011, three died out of 34 cases. Then in 2012, 12 people died out of 290 cases, and in 2013, 11 people died out of 117 cases. The state health department has done its part to fight the virus by awarding West Nile prevention grants totaling almost $3 million to 92 certified local health departments to enhance prevention programs, provide information to the public, and investigate human cases. Hot weather, which we haven’t had that much of, is a friend of West Nile, as it promotes rapid mosquito reproduction, so be aware of that during the rest of the summer. Experts report that, in the general population, of all people bitten by mosquitoes with West Nile, 20 percent will develop symptoms, but 80 percent won’t. Severe cases can lead to encephalitis and meningitis, which are life-threatening. For peace of mind and the sake of your health, do what you can to avoid exposure.

ANOTHER VIEW

HIV transmission drug More than three decades after the AIDS pandemic swept into New York and the nation to claim hundreds of thousands of lives, an amazing moment has arrived. For the first time, a pill is available that can prevent transmission of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, during sex. Its name is Truvada – and it’s a key ingredient in the daily cocktail that has prolonged the lives of many who have already contracted the virus. The startling news is that when those who are not infected take the pill once a day, Truvada has proved more than 90 percent effective in blocking the transmission of HIV, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports. The CDC issued guidelines in May for using the drug to prevent HIV infections. Seizing this moment, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo recently announced a plan to use Truvada as a part of his strategy to cut new HIV infections statewide from 3,000 a year to 750 by 2020. It’s an ambitious, trailblazing plan – and reaching the target will take an unflagging, collaborative effort. But if that push can be accomplished successfully, officials say, the number of New Yorkers living with HIV would be reduced for the first time since the first cases were diagnosed in 1981. Great strides have been made. In New York and the nation, HIV transmission via blood transfusions and from mother to child have been virtually eliminated, and new infections because of intravenous drug use have been dramatically reduced. With the success of antiretroviral drugs in treating HIV, the infection is no longer a death sentence. But there is no cure or vaccine. And the CDC estimates that nationally there are still 50,000 new infections a year. New York, long the epicenter of the crisis, has a shot to become the first state to reduce AIDS to less than epidemic proportions by driving the number of new infections below the number of HIV-related deaths. It’s an opportunity that shouldn’t be missed. (New York) Newsday

IT’S YOUR WRITE Turning Point radiothon To the Editor: Catalent Pharma Solutions, SnapOn Tools, Guardian Electric and Rita Corporation hosted a “Stuff-aTruck” event in July to raise funds for Turning Point. These events allowed employees to bring donations of used clothing and small household goods and drop them into a truck in their parking lot. Turning Point is incredibly grateful for the companies and employees who took the time to coordinate this event. Each company and employee played an important role in helping us begin to celebrate the annual radiothon Take a Stand for Turning Point broadcast live by Star 105.5. This event will be Aug. 15 and 16 at the Crystal Lake Sam’s Club. You will be hearing of more events leading up to the main celebration. This is the time of year that we ask our neighbors to listen to our stories and celebrate the amazing women, children and men who work hard to achieve peaceful, nonviolent futures. Many of you tell us at Turning Point that you wish there was no violence. We agree.

This is the time that strong members of our community come together to support those who need our help. All of us have been touched by domestic violence. Together, we can stop the violence one person and one family at a time. We look forward to seeing you at 5 a.m. Aug. 15 until 5 p.m. Aug. 16 at Sam’s Club. To arrange for an advance donation, contact Turning Point at 815-338-8081 or simply go online to www.mchenrycountyturningpoint.org and click “donate.” Jane Farmer Executive director, Turning Point

Unneeded government To the Editor: A part-time township official earns $9,000 more per year than Gov. Pat Quinn. Another example of townships spending a lot of money. According to the Chicago Tribune, Thornton Township Supervisor Frank Zuccarelli receives an annual salary of $186,000. Quinn receives $177,000 per year. Furthermore, township supervisors receive gold-plated pensions and

health care benefits. Township supervisors have one small state-mandated duty to perform. Supervisors oversee the township General Assistance aid program. Illinois has 1,433 township governments, which is one-fifth of all townships in the U.S. Note: Taxpayers in 30 states do not have townships on their tax bills, as well as 17 of Illinois’ 102 counties. Illinois taxpayers pay taxes to support about 12,000 township officials in addition to many more thousands of township employees. Yes, they all support this redundant and outdated form of government. Illinois is No. 1 in the U.S. for the number of local governments with 7,000 governments for its 12.8 million people, which is about one

local government for every 1,800 people. Texas, a non-township state, has 5,200 governments for 26.4 million residents, that’s one local government for each 5,100 people. The excessive number of township redundant governments not only contributes to waste, fraud and abuse, but it also is a large part of the cost of the Illinois pension problem. In the 21st century, townships are unneeded government that clearly contribute to the political corruption of Illinois’ politics with their acceptance of nepotism and cronyism. Townships should be abolished. Support township referendums. Bob Anderson Wonder Lake

Palestinian civilians aren’t to blame for Hamas Israel is a democratic state that is trying to respect human rights while defending itself against an adversary, Hamas, that does not. Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, is obviously right to say that the killing of Palestinian children is something Hamas desires as part of its strategy. My sympathies are, therefore, entirely with Israel, and against not only Hamas but those Westerners who fling terms like “genocide” against the Israeli government. Yet even just causes can lead their partisans astray. Increasingly I’m seeing supporters of Israel make the argument that there are no true “civilians” among Palestinians – that because many of the residents of the Gaza Strip once voted for Hamas, they’re essentially participants in its terrorism. That argument is wrong and dangerous, and it ought to be repudiated. At a recent pro-Israel rally in New York, Rabbi David-Seth Kirshner said, to cheers, “When you are part of an election process that asks for a terrorist organization which proclaims in word and in deed that their primary objective is to destroy their neighboring country and not to build schools or commerce or jobs, you are complicit and

VIEWS Ramesh Ponnuru you are not a civilian casualty.” Thane Rosenbaum, a novelist and legal scholar, wrote similarly in the Wall Street Journal: “On some basic level, you forfeit your right to be called civilians when you freely elect members of a terrorist organization as statesmen, invite them to dinner with blood on their hands and allow them to set up shop in your living room as their base of operations.” He allows that some Gazan casualties must have been civilians, and some must have been “children whose parents are not card-carrying Hamas loyalists.” He concludes that “our sympathy should be reserved” for those victims: “The impossibility of identifying them, and saving them, is Israel’s deepest moral dilemma.” And in Haaretz, the historian Benny Morris complains that Israel has shown “no willingness to exact a heavy price in blood from the enemy’s civilians.” If we don’t hold a firm understanding of why civilians should be treated differently than combatants, we can end up in indefensible positions. I see no

way to interpret Rosenbaum’s comment except to mean that we should have no sympathy for children who are killed if their parents were Hamas loyalists. That’s a disgusting sentiment. The just-war tradition of thought treats civilians differently in that just military action can never be designed to kill them. Their killing can only be tolerated, in that tradition, as an unintended byproduct of military action – and that evil can be tolerated only if the military action is likely to accomplish a good proportional to it. (It may be that Morris, his infelicitous phrasing aside, doesn’t intend any inconsistency with that tradition. Other remarks in his op-ed suggest that he merely means that Israel should be willing to tolerate more Palestinian civilian casualties, rather than that it should welcome more of them.) This intellectual tradition isn’t based on sentimentality about civilians. Its conclusions don’t turn on any judgment of civilians’ political or moral beliefs, which in many cases may be odious. Civilians may even be complicit in some sense in the evils of war – for instance, by voting in a war-making government. Yet they’re noncombatants because they’re not involved in warfighting in any

direct way, and their killing can’t be justified as an extension of the principle of self-defense. Thus American civilians can’t justly be targeted for acts of war that their government conducts overseas. They don’t become combatants even if many or most of them vote for politicians who start wars, even unjust wars. One point of having rules of war is to impose a degree of separation between judgments about which wars are justified and judgments about what can be done in them – so that people and governments who disagree about the justice of a war can nonetheless agree on norms about its conduct. Supporters of Israel often say it represents the cause of civilization: of human rights and freedom. The rules of war are a civilizational achievement worth defending. We shouldn’t throw them away, or throw away their moral underpinnings, for ill-considered theories of collective guilt. • Ramesh Ponnuru, a Bloomberg View columnist, is a senior editor for National Review, where he has covered national politics for 18 years, a visiting fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and a resident fellow at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics.

Quinn signs payroll card legislation Uses amendatory veto power for first time this year on lab work services and fees proposal By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn has taken action on two legislative proposals aimed at helping consumers avoid additional fees, but some lawmakers and advocates on Wednesday questioned his use of amendatory veto power on a plan designed to help cut medical bills. The Chicago Democrat signed legislation Wednesday giving workers paid through so-called “payroll cards” other salary payment options, a move that came a day after

ILLINOIS ROUNDUP

he altered a highly technical plan addressing bills for some types of medical lab work. The legislation he changed Tuesday evening focused on anatomic pathology lab work, such as pap smears and blood work, and requires physicians ordering the work to detail services and fees. Lawmakers say the legislation was prompted by allegations of doctors padding bills. Quinn, using his amendatory veto power for the first time this year, proposed giving the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation authority to revoke, suspend or

deny renewal of a physician’s license for violating the rules in the plan while still ensuring physicians could choose labs they wanted to work with. In his veto message, he said marking up medical bills “harm patients” but it was also important to “provide physicians a choice.” The move – with a nod to both doctors and patients – left some perplexed. While Quinn has used other veto powers on the budget lawmakers sent him this year, he hasn’t often exercised amendatory vetoes. State Sen. William Haine,

an Alton Democrat who sponsored the proposal, said he wasn’t consulted and simple follow-up legislation could have produced the same result without going back to legislators on a plan that was widely supported. He said he was reviewing Quinn’s alterations and wanted to hear from legislative leaders and stakeholders, including the insurance industry. “I’m not decided on how to approach it,” he said. “There are many players beyond me.” Opponents said that even after Quinn’s changes, the plan didn’t fairly address pa-

thologist fees. Illinois Dermatological Society president Dr. Amy Derick said one effect of the legislation could be Illinois losing profits on lab work sent out of state. She said the group planned to fight the legislation, claiming lawmakers had only been presented one side. Legislators in both chambers approved the plan with more than the three-fifths vote needed to override Quinn’s amendatory veto. Quinn said Wednesday he reviewed and “improved” the plan but didn’t elaborate on his reasons.

Champaign. He is associate director of International Student and Scholar Services at the campus. Health care workers screen all new international students. But West African students will go through an additional interview and educational process, Dr. Robert Palinkas of the campus’ McKinley Health Center said. “I think it’s always wise to prepare,” he said, adding that campus officials aren’t too worried. More than 900 people have died of Ebola in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria since the outbreak began in March. Programs for students in Sierra Leone will be suspended for at least this fall, said Bo White, who is assistant director for international health and safety at the campus. No University of Illinois students were studying in West Africa this summer.

Mentally ill prisoners costing more in Illinois

SPRINGFIELD – Treating and housing mentally ill prisoners is costing more in Illinois. State documents show Illinois taxpayers will be billed more than $17.8 million to turn existing prison space into mental health care facilities, the Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises newspapers reported. The Illinois Department of Corrections has asked architectural firms for proposals to convert a dining hall at Pontiac Correctional Center into exam rooms for seriously mentally ill inmates, records from late July showed. The agency also wants to convert 48 cells at Pontiac to house mentally ill inmates. The cost is estimated at $800,000. “We’ve got some space that’s available, and we definitely need to increase the capacity for dealing with seriously mentally ill,” department spokesman Tom Shaer said. Efforts also are underway to convert a closed juvenile prison in Joliet into a facility for mentally ill inmates. An architectural firm estimates the cost at $17 million. Original estimates were $9 million. The project would include making cells suicide-proof and building a perimeter fence and guard tower. The work is expected to begin in December, records show.

40 Illinois State Police troopers to help Chicago

CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn announced Wednesday that 40 State Police troopers will be dispatched to Chicago to help the police department round up

dangerous fugitives as part of an effort to combat an annual rise in violent crime during the summer. The assignment of the troopers is the latest signal of the growing anxiety in Chicago about gun violence in a summer that has included a July Fourth weekend that left 14 dead and the death of an 11-year-old girl who was at a sleepover when a bullet pierced a wall, striking her in the head. “The state of Illinois will do whatever is necessary to protect public safety – in Chicago and every community across Illinois,” Quinn said in a statement. The troopers, whose salaries while on the detail will continue to be paid for by the state, will

join the department’s 77-member Fugitive Unit. According to Quinn’s release, the troopers and the police department will set up as many as 25 “surge” teams that will focus on catching people with “known violent criminal histories who are wanted by law enforcement.” Quinn offered last month to send troopers to the city but said he wouldn’t do so unless a request came from the city. He said in the statement that Mayor Rahm Emanuel had requested the assistance. Emanuel said the effort will last for at least the next 30 days.

Parents charged with baby’s death MOLINE – Authorities in

western Illinois have arrested the parents who allegedly went to bed intoxicated and killed their 4-month-old son when they rolled on top of him. The Moline Dispatch reported 30-year-old Terri Lynn Wells and 24-year-old Anthony C. Schlieper Jr. of Moline have been charged with a felony count of endangering the health or life of a child. The child was found not breathing at the couple’s home on June 10. When Rock Island County Coroner Brian Gustafson arrived at the hospital after the baby died he said both parents smelled strongly of alcohol. Gustafson ruled the death a homicide and the parents were arrested.

He spoke to reporters after signing payroll legislation, saying no one should have to pay to access their own salary. Payroll cards allow workers to withdraw salaries from an ATM, like debit cards. But Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, who backed the legislation, said her office received complaints about extra fees that were cutting into salaries. Madigan said minimum wage workers were among those affected. The law, which says workers should be offered other options like paper checks, takes effect January 2015.

The parents were in custody Tuesday and scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday. It was not immediately known if they had attorneys.

U of I suspends Sierra Leone programs over Ebola

URBANA – The University of Illinois announced it has suspended study-abroad programs in Sierra Leone and plans extra screening for students arriving from West Africa in response to the ongoing Ebola outbreak. Only a handful of the 3,500 new international students expected at the Urbana-Champaign campus this fall are from the area affected by the Ebola outbreak, Martin McFarlane told The News-Gazette in

Chicago mayor calls for summit on drinking water

CHICAGO – Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is reacting to reports Lake Erie has became tainted with a toxin that prevents water consumption by calling for a summit of Canadian and U.S. mayors. He says a meeting is needed to discuss ways of protecting and preserving the Great Lakes. In a statement, Emanuel says what happened in Toledo, Ohio, where thousands were forced to stop drinking tap water for more than two days, is a reminder that much must be done to protect the lakes. They provide drinking water in Chicago and many other communities in the United States and Canada. According to the statement, Emanuel’s office is contacting mayors in the Great Lakes region to convene the meeting in the next few weeks.

GOP’s Oberweis: Durbin bullied Walgreen By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press CHICAGO – As U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin declared victory Wednesday for Walgreen Co.’s decision to keep its headquarters in Illinois, Republican businessman Jim Oberweis accused him of “bullying,” saying the Senate’s second-ranking Democrat deserved scorn – not praise – for his efforts. “His bullying of [Walgreen] was a political stunt designed to help only one person: Dick Durbin,” said Oberweis, a state senator and dairy magnate trying to unseat Durbin on Nov. 4. “It didn’t create any jobs. It didn’t reform our job-killing tax code.” Durbin led the effort to stop Deerfield-based Walgreen from relocating its headquarters to Switzerland to reduce its U.S. taxes, warning its CEO in a letter last month that the company may find its custom-

Durbin. It didn’t create any than 19,000 signatures. jobs. It didn’t reform our more Walgreen announced Wednesday it would stay headjob-killing tax code.” State Sen. Jim Oberweis, R-Sugar Grove ers are “deeply patriotic and will not support Walgreen’s decision to turn its back on the United States.” He also sponsored legislation to stop American companies that incorporate overseas from getting federal contracts, asked President Barack Obama to sign an executive order to make the practice more difficult and started an online petition he said generated

quartered in Deerfield, saying it was “mindful of the ongoing public reaction.” “We won!” Durbin said an email to campaign supporters a few hours later. “It’s important for our country to grow, and the way it grows is when great corporations like Walgreen’s stay here and build from the ground up,” Durbin said. His campaign spokesman, Ron Holmes, said “Only Jim Oberweis and the Swiss government would scorn today’s job announcement.” Oberweis and other Re-

publicans, including gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner, have argued the practice known as “inversion” is a signal that Illinois and the U.S. need to reduce tax rates to be more competitive. They said doing so would help keep companies in the state and create new jobs, and note companies are under pressure from investors to maximize profit. “The right answer is not to create walls, to block companies and people,” Rauner told Chicago’s WMAQ-TV last week. “... We should be about freedom, choice and competition.” Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn, who is seeking his second full term, condemned the growing trend as “unpatriotic.” He told reporters Wednesday that he spoke to Walgreen Co. CEO Greg Wasson after the decision was made.

Nigeria rushes to get isolation tents for Ebola By MARAM MAZAN and KRISTA LARSON The Associated Press LAGOS, Nigeria – Nigerian authorities rushed to obtain isolation tents Wednesday in anticipation of more Ebola infections as they disclosed five more cases of the virus and a death in Africa’s most populous nation, where officials were racing to keep the gruesome disease confined to a small group of patients. The five new Nigerian cases were all in Lagos, a megacity of 21 million people in a country already beset with poor health care infrastructure and widespread corruption, and all five were reported to have had direct contact with one infected man. Meanwhile, the World

Health Organization began a meeting to decide whether the crisis, the worst recorded outbreak of its kind, amounts to an international public health emergency. At least 932 deaths in four countries have been blamed on the illness, with 1,711 reported cases. In recent years, the WHO has declared an emergency only twice, for swine flu in 2009 and polio in May. The declaration would probably come with recommendations on travel and trade restrictions and wider Ebola screening. It also would be an acknowledgment that the situation is critical and could worsen without a fast global response. The group did not immediately confirm the new cases

Experimental Ebola drug raises ethical questions on access By LAURAN NEERGAARD The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The use of an experimental drug to treat two Americans diagnosed with Ebola is raising ethical questions about who gets first access to unproven new therapies for the deadly disease. But some health experts fear debate over extremely limited doses will distract from triedand-true measures to curb the growing outbreak – things like more rapidly identifying and isolating the sick. The World Health Organization is convening a meeting of medical ethicists next week to examine what it calls “the responsible thing to do” about whatever supplies eventually may become available of a medicine that’s never been tested in people. At least one country involved in the outbreak is interested in the drug. Nigeria’s health minister, Onyenbuchi Chukwu, said at a news conference that he had asked the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about access. CDC Director Tom Frieden “conveyed there are virtually no doses available” but that basic supportive care can work, a CDC spokesman said Wednesday. President Barack Obama said Ebola is controllable and the U.S. and its allies are working to help overwhelmed public health systems in West Africa take the needed steps. Asked about the experimental drug, Obama said all the information isn’t in: “We’ve got to let the science guide us.” There is no proven treatment or vaccine for Ebola, which so far has infected more than 1,700 people and killed more than 930 in West Africa in what has become the worst outbreak of this viral hemorrhagic fever. “How many times have we found magic therapies that ended up ... doing more harm than good?” cautioned University of Minnesota professor Michael Osterholm, who advises the U.S. government on infectious disease threats. “Vaccine and drug treatment right now is not going

Vaccine and drug treatment right now is not going to be the main way you bring this to a stop.” Michael Osterholm University of Minnesota professor who advises the U.S. government on infectious disease threats

to be the main way you bring this to a stop,” he added. Scientists stress that there’s no way to tell if the experimental drug ZMapp really made a difference for two American aid workers infected while working in Liberia. “We don’t even know if it works,” stressed Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health, which helped fund research that led to the drug’s development. The drug is a cocktail of three antibodies engineered to recognize Ebola and bind to infected cells so that the immune system can kill them. People’s immune systems make antibodies to fight off various diseases, and attempts to cull those antibodies – from the blood of people who survive an illness, or from animals – date back to the 19th century and early diphtheria treatment. Using modern techniques to fight Ebola, scientists culled antibodies from laboratory mice, Fauci said, and ZMapp’s maker now grows the antibodies in tobacco plants and then purifies them. Fauci said the manufacturer has told the government it would take two to three months to produce even “a modest amount.” So the NIH is exploring ways to ramp up production, necessary to attempt formal testing or to consider more so-called compassionate use. “Everybody’s trying to speed things up,” said Fauci, director of NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Will my pain go away over time? Many people try to wait their back pain out only to ﬁnd that it keeps getting worse. They buy new mattresses, try different stretching exercises, learn new techniques for sitting and standing, etc., only to ﬁnd that their condition doesn’t improve. If it’s a true disc problem, waiting will only make it worse.

Superior Physical Medicine Solution Superior Health & Wellness offers some of the most advanced non-surgical procedures and therapies for relieving chronic pain. Most clinics across the country only use some of the components that we combine together to treat our patients. We have been successfully treating patients since 1998 and have developed a very specialized approach to addressing chronic pain associated with the neck, back and neuropathy. This protocol is the ultimate solution for pain relief. Patients tell us about their visits with family doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists and even surgeons and how they are still suffering

with the same pain or that the pain went away for a short time then returned. Our team will evaluate your pain and needs, then determine if you are a candidate for the Superior Health & Wellness Physical Medicine Solution.

The Superior Physical Medicine Solution Produces Natural Healing Most of the patients with chronic pain conditions that we see show marked improvement with our state-of-the-art decompression tables and our personalized treatment programs fairly quickly. Decompression relieves pressure that builds up on discs and nerves. Decompression therapy achieves relief by creating negative pressure within the disc, referred to as negative intradiscal pressure. This essentially creates a vacuum to draw the bulging and herniated disc material back into the disc space and relieves pressure. This process of nonsurgical decompression combined with our specialized rehab programs allow the body to heal itself Before and After naturally. Decompression

Are You a Candidate? Our spinal decompression has been found to relieve pain associated with disc degeneration, herniated and bulging discs, facet syndrome, and sciatica. Spinal decompression is a great option because of the risks in spinal surgery.

Israel-Palestinian talks on Gaza underway Both sides taking hard-line positions The ASSOCIATED PRESS CAIRO – Indirect Israeli-Palestinian negotiations over extending a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip and ending a blockade of the battered territory got underway Wednesday in Cairo, with both sides taking hard-line positions and much jockeying expected ahead. Israel wants the Islamic militant Hamas to disarm, or at least ensure it cannot re-arm, before considering the group’s demand that the territory’s borders be opened. Israel and Egypt imposed a closure after the Hamas takeover of Gaza in 2007, although Egypt allows individuals to cross intermittently. “The two sides have reviewed what they consider issues of concern,” Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri said at a news conference, describing the matter as “complicated and not easy.” Hazem Abu Shanab, a member of Fatah, one of the main

factions involved in the talks, said disarmament would require Israel to pull out from occupied Palestinian territory. “As long as there is occupation, there will be resistance and there will be weapons,” he said. “The armament is linked to the occupation.” Egyptian mediators have been shuttling between the delegations. An Egyptian airport official said the Israelis were back in Cairo on Wednesday evening after flying out earlier in the day. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief reporters. Meanwhile, in Jerusalem, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Israel’s intense bombardment of Gaza, saying that despite the high civilian death toll it was a “justified” and “proportionate” response to Hamas attacks. Speaking to international journalists, Netanyahu presented video footage he said showed militants firing rock-

ets from areas near schools and Hamas deploying civilians as human shields. “Our enemy is Hamas, our enemies are the other terrorist organizations trying to kill our people and we have taken extraordinary measures to avoid civilian casualties,” he said. Nearly 1,900 Palestinians have been killed in the fighting, three-quarters of them civilians, according to the United Nations. Israel said some 900 Palestinian militants were among the dead. Sixty-four Israeli soldiers and three civilians inside Israel have also been killed. The Palestinian delegation in Cairo is composed of negotiators from all major factions, including Hamas, and is meeting with Egypt’s intelligence chief for briefings on Israel’s demands. “The most important thing to us is removing the blockade and starting to reconstruct Gaza,” said Bassam Salhi, a

Palestinian delegate. “There can be no deal without that.” Shukri said he hoped the cease-fire, set to expire at 8 a.m. Friday, would be extended, and an Egyptian security official

said Cairo was pressing Israel for an extension. There has been no official Israeli response, though an official at Netanyahu’s office said Israel has “no problem”

with “unconditional extensions of the cease-fire.” He, like the Egyptian security official, spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Authorities have said they believe Silva provided Tsarnaev and his brother, Tamerlan, with the gun used to kill Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer Sean Collier during the dramatic manhunt following the April 2013 bombings, which killed three people and injured more than 260 others. Silva’s grand jury indictment from July does not mention the police officer’s slaying or Tsarnaev. Instead, it focuses mostly on allegations that Silva was dealing heroin in the Boston area this summer. It also states Silva received a Ruger pistol with the serial number removed in February 2013.

the ideal setting for such major change, saying the best way to win the hearts and minds of Americans on the issue would be the democratic process. The judge, Jeffrey S. Sutton of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, peppered attorneys with the question and said it was strange that the same-sex couples fighting statewide bans weren’t showing more patience. “I would have thought the best way to get respect and dignity is through the democratic process,” Sutton said. “Nothing happens as quickly as we’d like it. ... I’m not 100 percent sure it’s the better route for the gay rights community.” Sutton and two other judges from the 6th Circuit heard arguments in six cases from Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan and Tennessee in the biggest such session on the issue so far. The cases pit states’ rights and traditional, conservative values against what plaintiffs’ attorneys said is a fundamental right to marry under the U.S. Constitution.

A customer walks toward an entrance to a Walgreens store in Boston. Walgreen plans to keep its roots firmly planted in the United States. The company said Wednesday it will no longer pursue an overseas reorganization that would have trimmed the amount of U.S. taxes it pays.

Inversion aversion Walgreen turns down overseas move to cut tax bill By TOM MURPHY The Associated Press Growing political heat and possible customer backlash helped dissuade Walgreen from trying to trim its tax bill by reorganizing overseas as part of an acquisition. But experts say they don’t expect other companies considering the move to follow Walgreen’s lead and stay rooted in the United States. Walgreen, the nation’s biggest drugstore chain, said Wednesday that it no longer would consider a socalled inversion, which has become popular among large, multi-national health care companies looking to cut U.S. taxes. The company said it will instead combine with the Swiss health and beauty retailer Alliance Boots to form a holding company that’s based in the U.S. Walgreen Co. said in a statement that it was “mindful of the ongoing public reaction to a potential inversion” and its “unique role as an iconic American” retailer. Walgreen’s decision follows a wave of recently announced inversions that have prompted President Barack Obama and members of Congress to voice growing concern about tax revenue the U.S. government could lose from these moves. Despite Walgreen’s decision, experts say U.S. companies will likely continue to pursue inversions because they can still reap big benefits by reorganizing overseas. “We need fundamental corporate tax reform to solve this problem, and it isn’t going to happen in an election year,” said Donald Goldman, an Arizona State University professor. Inversions involve a U.S. company reorganizing in another country by either acquiring or combining with another business. These deals provide tax relief in a number of ways. They allow companies to transfer money earned overseas to the parent company without paying additional U.S. taxes.

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – In 2025, selfdriving cars could be the norm, people could have more leisure time and goods could become cheaper. Or, there could be chronic unemployment and an even wider income gap, human interaction could become a luxury and the wealthy could live in walled cities with robots serving as labor. Or, very little could change. A new survey released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center’s Internet Project and Elon University’s Imagining the Internet Center found that, when asked about the impact of artificial intelligence on jobs, nearly 1,900 experts and other respondents were divided over what to expect 11 years from now. Forty-eight percent said robots would kill more jobs than they create, and 52 percent said technology will create more jobs than it destroys. Respondents also varied widely when asked to elaborate on their expectations of jobs in the next decade. Some said that self-driving cars would be common, eliminating taxi cab and

Sprint names new CEO, drops T-Mobile bid NEW YORK – Sprint’s new owner is replacing its longtime CEO with a Bolivian billionaire and entrepreneur after dropping its bid for rival wireless carrier T-Mobile US. Marcelo Claure, the CEO of Miami-based cellphone distributor Brightstar, will replace Dan Hesse on Monday, Sprint Corp. said Wednesday. Claure, 43, had been CEO of Brightstar Corp., which is part of Softbank Corp. of Japan. Softbank bought 70 percent of Sprint last year. Sprint shares plunged Wednesday as its chairman and incoming CEO talked about adopting aggressive tactics to compete with AT&T and Verizon, likely including price cuts.

People walk past the Boots flagship store, owned by Swiss health and beauty retailer Alliance Boots, on Oxford Street on Wednesday in London. Walgreen said that, as previously planned, it will buy the remaining stake in Alliance Boots that it does not already own. Inversions also provide some relief from the U.S. corporate income tax rate of 35 percent, which is the highest in the industrialized world. The U.S. had a competitive tax rate back in the 1980s but that changed when other countries started lowering their rates and the U.S. didn’t follow, said Cynthia Eakin, an associate accounting professor at the University of the Pacific. “We haven’t paid attention to what’s going on globally,” she said. “We don’t really have a global tax strategy.” There have been 47 U.S. companies that have put together inversions through tie-ups with foreign businesses over the past decade, according to the Congressional Research Service. Several others are planning or considering the move. Walgreen was considering an inversion while it decided whether to buy the remaining portion of Alliance Boots that it didn’t already own.

In 2012, the U.S. company bought a 45 percent stake in Alliance Boots, which runs the largest drugstore chain in the United Kingdom. It ultimately decided against an inversion because the company wasn’t convinced the deal would pass IRS scrutiny. Walgreen didn’t design the acquisition as an inversion, so it would have to change key elements of it, including possibly the terms, to avoid IRS challenges that it was abusing the tax code. An IRS fight could have led to a long legal battle and back taxes with penalties if the company lost, Walgreen officials told analysts during a Wednesday morning conference call. Plus, the company had no assurances that tax code wouldn’t eventually be changed to remove some of the advantages companies get from inversions, spokesman Michael Polzin said.

long-haul truck drivers. Some said that we should expect the wealthy to live in seclusion, using robot labor. Others were more conservative, cautioning that technology never moves quite as fast as people expect and humans aren’t so easily replaceable. “We consistently underestimate the intelligence and complexity of human beings,” said Jonathan Grudin, principal researcher at Microsoft, who recalls that 40 years ago, people said that advances in computer-coding language were going to kill programming jobs. Even as technology removed jobs such as secretaries and operators, it created brand new jobs, including Web marketing, Grudin said. And, as Grudin and other survey responders noted, 11 years isn’t much time for significant changes to take place, anyway. Aaron Smith, senior researcher with the Pew Research Center’s Internet Project, said the results were unusually divided. He noted that in similar Pew surveys about the Internet over the past 12 years, there tended to be general consensus among the respondents, which included research

Target publicly endorses same-sex marriage MINNEAPOLIS – Target Corp. is adding its name to a legal defense of gay marriage, joining other large companies that are taking a stand, just four years after the retailer came under criticism for supporting a strident opponent of samesex unions. Target said it has signed a court brief backing marriage equality in a pending court case and publicly declared its support of gay marriage, a move similar to those taken by Starbucks, Intel and Apple. “It is our belief that everyone should be treated equally under the law, and that includes rights we believe individuals should have related to marriage,” Target Executive Vice President of Human Resources Jodee Kozlak wrote on the company’s blog.

scientists and a range of others, from business leaders to journalists. Respondents in this latest survey generally agreed that the education system is failing to teach the skills that students need for the future. Smith said some survey respondents criticized the system for promoting memorization of tasks rather than creativity, teaching a “Henry Ford education for a Mark Zuckerberg economy.” Also, Smith said, some respondents concluded that jobs that don’t require specifically human traits – such as empathy, ingenuity or resourcefulness – are at risk for being replaced, including low-skill blue collar jobs or even white-collar jobs that have people performing repetitive tasks. Respondents offered a few theories about what might happen if artificial intelligence takes over some positions and fewer jobs are created. Judith Donath, a fellow at Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society, foresees chronic mass unemployment with the wealthy living in “walled cities, with robots providing the labor.”

HONG KONG – A court has ruled that a Hong Kong tycoon can sue Google over its autocomplete results suggesting he has links to organized crime. In a judgment released Wednesday, the court dismissed the Internet search giant’s objections to tycoon Albert Yeung’s defamation lawsuit. Yeung filed the lawsuit after Google refused to remove autocomplete suggestions such as “triad,” as organized crime gangs are known in China, which popped up with searches on his name. The billionaire’s business empire includes an entertainment company that produces films and manages some of the city’s biggest celebrities. He argues that his reputation has been “gravely injured” and wants compensation.

Budget to save money on back-to-school shopping When it comes to back-to-school shopping, I’m sure you’ve heard it all before. The same rules apply whether you have a child going to grade school, high school or college. Always start with an inventory. Avoid duplicating by checking what you already have – especially if there are older brothers or sisters in the family. Some items – such as rulers, protractors and compasses – never wear out. Next, make your priority list. Do they really need it, or do they just want it? This is a good time to introduce young children to the art of making real-life choices. Buying some expensive gear might mean delaying or eliminating another coveted item purchase. Now, here comes the awful word: Budget. If you’ve saved up for this yearly event, then you’re ahead of the

MONEY MATTERS Virginia Peschke game. If not, you may have to examine the household budget and make some significant changes, or even cuts. Try your hand at comparison shopping. There won’t be any lack of flyers dedicated to enticing you into school supply and clothing purchases. Don’t waste gas or valuable time driving long distances for bargains unless you’ve run the numbers and the deals are good enough to justify it. Many schools offer exchanges where school necessities and sports equipment can be swapped, bought inexpensively or even acquired free of charge. Buy good quality clothing that

will hold up. Buying items a little larger than necessary for young ones allows them to grow into some items, such as jackets and winter wear. Some bulk items will fit different ages, such as packages of socks and T-shirts. Try buying clothes your children like. They’ll usually take better care of them. Easy on, easy off clothes for little ones are especially good in winter to squelch reluctance to wearing suitable warm sweaters and jackets. Kids today seem to think the school bus will never break down and resist wearing appropriate heavy-duty apparel, such as parkas and boots. I’m told, on good authority, that newly built school lockers are so small today that outerwear may actually have to be toted all day in backpacks. Shop creatively and pick things

other items. Some chain stores will ship items directly to the dorm for out-of-towners, or you can window shop and order at home to pick up the items at a location near campus. The bottom line is always stick to the budget. Try not to buy with credit cards. Instead, use cash, debit cards or checks to keep yourself on track. Plan ahead and make the right choices to help ease the backto-school money shock. After you’ve breathed a sigh of relief and patted yourself on the back, start saving for next year now that you’re an experienced backto-school shopper. Next fall will be here sooner than you think.

that can be reused. Buy loose-leaf binders instead of spiral-bound ones. Instead of those fancy covers going into the recycling when the paper is used up, try buying a notebook with a plastic slipcover. Insert favorite pictures into the sleeve and make the notebook personalized. Turn it into a scrapbook when the school year ends. See if your church or community agencies offer school supplies or backpacks for free or at reduced cost. Gently used clothes and supplies your children no longer need can be donated to these places or to the local food pantry. For the college crowd, check and find out what items are required – especially if a dorm room is in the picture. Many dorm beds need extralong sheets and bedding. Some colleges furnish desks, bookcases and

Yelp CEO reviews his own business Walgreen sensitive to public reaction • WALGREEN

By MICHAEL LIEDTKE The Associated Press

Liedtke: What was it like when Google tried to buy you? Stoppelman: It was an emotional decision. Yelp is my

Stoppelman, 36, probably wouldn’t be running Yelp Inc. if he had paid more attention to the opinions of outsiders than his own insights. baby, so I wanted it to be in a place where it was going to thrive. As it became more of an auction process where it felt like there was blood in the water and the sharks were attacking, it just felt like it wasn’t going to end up with Yelp in a good spot.

Liedtke: You got a call from Steve Jobs during this process, right? Stoppelman: He was very anti-Google, as it turns out. He was pretty upset with Google. (Jobs had accused Google of stealing ideas from Apple’s iPhone to build Android, a rival operating system for mobile devices). He felt that Yelp was a great company and wouldn’t be a great company if it fell in the hands of Google. Toward the end of our conversation, I had to go into complete ‘fan boy’ mode. For someone like me, who had spent a lot of time trying to build cool technology products, it was literally like talking to a God.

Liedtke: You live and work in San Francisco. What do you think about the backlash against technology’s impact on the city in terms of real estate prices? Stoppelman: Most cities would be falling over themselves to have the problems we have right now, which is like: “Oh my, we have too many jobs and people’s compensation keeps going up, so therefore people can afford to pay more to obtain housing.” It’s not to say that we don’t have very serious problems, but a lot of them are complete-

ly self-inflicted, which I find incredibly frustrating. The other misperception is that everyone working in tech is a millionaire living in luxury condos and there is nothing left for anyone else. The reality is the vast majority of our employees are making anywhere from, you know, like $40,000 to $100,000. If you look at it, we are just like every other company. As rents go up, it hurts people here, too.

Liedtke: Where do you stand on another hot-button topic: the lack of diversity in Silicon Valley? Stoppelman: If we are focusing on technology jobs, meaning software engineering jobs primarily, by the time you are talking about a company, you are talking about the end of the funnel. The funnel begins in high school, really, or even earlier maybe. If you want women and minorities to succeed all the way at the end of the funnel in a tech job, you have to increase the numbers starting at the top of the funnel, at the earliest age, and then make sure they stay in the funnel and get all the way through. Certainly, tech companies should feel bad about it, and all the tech companies have been aware of this problem. They have been trying to address it somewhat, but there is a bit of a limitation of what you can do because fundamentally, you know, if women aren’t entering into software engineering programs in great numbers, there’s not going to be great numbers working at Google or Yelp or any tech company.

Additionally, Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin had sent a letter to Walgreen CEO Greg Wasson urging him to reconsider an inversion and warning that the company may find its customers are “deeply patriotic and will not support Walgreen’s decision to turn its back on the United States.” Walgreen deals directly with consumers more than other companies – like drugmakers – that have tried inversions. So, Walgreen

versions. But Goldman, the Arizona State professor, still expects companies to pursue them until either the corporate tax rate is lowered or the U.S. stops applying the additional tax to income earned overseas. Walgreen shares sank more than 14 percent, or $9.91, to close at $59.21 on Wednesday. The company’s stock had advanced more than 20 percent so far this year, as of Tuesday, and set several new all-time high prices. The most recent came on June 19, when the shares hit $76.39.

Pew: Some see return to handmade production • ROBOTS Continued from page B6 Some respondents see people returning to small-scale, handmade production, and an appreciation would grow for products with the “human touch.” Others thought people also could face abundant leisure, allowing them to pursue their personal interests.

Stowe Boyd, lead analyst on the future of work at Gigaom Research, said if, as he predicts, widespread joblessness comes to pass, humanity would have to confront its deeper purpose. “The fundamental question lurking behind all of this is ‘what are people for?’” Boyd said. For this survey, Pew posed closed- and open-ended ques-

tions to technology experts – researchers, futurist and tech developers – and other interested parties, including writers and business leaders, about how far they expect robots and artificial intelligence to grow, and what the impact will be on jobs by 2025. The study was not representative of a particular group of experts, only of those who chose to respond.

But one important hurdle remains. Italian law gives dissenting shareholders the right to cash out. If they require the company to buy back stock worth more than 500 million euros, the merger is off. The Italian market drop reflects concerns that the payout, which has been set at 7.727 euros a share, or 16 percent above Wednesday’s close, will exceed Fiat’s ceiling. Sergio Marchionne, CEO of both companies, said Wednesday that fear of the merger being scuttled is overblown. If it doesn’t happen, joint operations would continue, and Fiat would return with another proposal when conditions are more favorable, he said. “I am absolutely unfazed by all of this,” said Marchionne.

Marchionne’s comments came after Chrysler reported a relatively strong performance for the quarter, with profits fueled by rising U.S. sales. The company made $619 million, compared with $507 million a year ago. Revenue rose 14 percent to $20.5 billion. But Marchionne also said he was not satisfied with the results, indicating that the next phase of Chrysler’s revival would be to improve its profit margin – the percent of revenue that it gets to keep. Chrysler’s margin lags its Detroit competitors and parts supply companies. Some parts makers are reporting doubledigit margins, while Chrysler is around 4 percent.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Chrysler profit jumps; Fiat hit by merger worry DETROIT – Chrysler remained on the comeback trail with a 22 percent second-quarter profit increase, but U.S. investors may not get a chance to buy shares of the company if a planned merger with Fiat gets scuttled. Shareholders of Fiat, the majority owner of Chrysler, overwhelmingly voted last week to merge the two companies. But on Wednesday, Fiat shares fell 5.5 percent in Italy due to concerns that the merger could be derailed by investor flight. The merger would move the new company’s tax headquarters to London and list its shares on the New York Stock Exchange. It could be completed by mid-October.

SAN FRANCISCO – After Yelp posted the first quarterly profit in its history last week, the online business review site got panned on Wall Street. The company’s stock plummeted 11 percent the day after the results came out, wiping out its gains for the year. CEO Jeremy Stoppelman didn’t seem disturbed as he sat down to discuss Yelp’s evolution in the 10 years since he began working on a way for people to share recommendations about local merchants with Russ Simmons, a fellow engineer he met while working at PayPal. Stoppelman, 36, probably wouldn’t be running Yelp Inc. if he had paid more attention to the opinions of outsiders than his own insights. Skeptics initially scoffed at the idea that people would feed Yelp free reviews of local businesses. Today, Yelp packs more than 61 million reviews of merchants in 27 countries in a service that attracts nearly 140 million monthly visitors. Many technology observers were incredulous back in late 2009 when Stoppelman and his backers rebuffed a buyout offer from Google Inc. for a reported $500 million. Yelp now boasts a market value of about $5 billion, even after the recent sell-off spurred by concerns about Yelp’s slowing growth amid competition for online local advertising revenue from Internet powerhouses such as Google and Facebook Inc. Yelp’s success has left Stoppelman with company stock worth about $400 million. Many other investors have profited too: Yelp’s shares have more than quadrupled from their March 2012 initial public offering price of $15. Stoppelman mused about Yelp’s past and present during an interview with The Associated Press as the San Francisco company prepared to celebrate its 10 anniversary. The remarks have been edited for clarity and brevity.

would be more sensitive to public reaction. At the same time, companies face growing political pushback. The Obama administration has urged Congress to act swiftly to curtail inversions, and Democrats in both the House and Senate have introduced bills to rein in the practice. But the election year push is unlikely to succeed in a divided Congress, where Republicans favor more comprehensive tax reform. The political rancor may make some companies think harder about attempting in-

FOOTBALL 101: OFFENSIVE LINEMEN

Williams: I know I’ve still got a lot to prove

PAVING THE WAY

By MATTHEW PARAS mparas@shawmedia.com BOURBONNAIS – By now, the rehabilitation process has become boring to D.J. Williams. That’s how the 11-year veteran linebacker described his latest stint trying to rehab a ruptured left pectoral muscle that ended his 2013 season after six games. Williams, 32, has dealt with a handful of injuries throughout his career, having missed D.J. Williams games because of injury in three separate seasons. Even in his first year as a Bear, Williams, who spent nine seasons with the Denver Broncos, dealt with a nagging calf injury throughout July and August last year. In addition, he caught bronchitis in Week 5 against the Saints before ultimately rupturing his pectoral muscle toward the end of the third quarter against the Giants in Week 6. “I know I have a lot to prove to a lot of people, especially climbing up in age at 32,” Williams said. “But I’m in the greatest shape I’ve been in a long time.” Williams said being in great shape involved returning to his rookie weight, where he weighed 250 pounds out of the University of Miami. Williams also will play at middle linebacker, a position he was brought in for last season and again when he re-signed to a one-year deal. Williams, who has played every linebacker position, said he doesn’t mind and loves playing the middle. “I don’t want to say our defense is simple, but it highlights what I do pretty well,” Williams said. “It allows me to run sideline to sideline and play defense inside out. We play Cover 2 a lot where guys are breaking and making plays.”

Brains can make up for lack of brawn on line By RYAN ALTMAN raltman@shawmedia.com uring his 13 years as CaryGrove’s offensive line coach, Mike Manning has seen his team’s fair share of talent at the position, but no one as technically sound as senior tackle Trevor Ruhland. Ruhland (6-foot-5, 263 pounds) is a two-time Northwest Herald All-Area first-team selection and is committed to play at Notre Dame. What stood out to Manning from Day 1 with Ruhland was not just his size, but his athleticism to go with it. “What set Trevor apart from the beginning was his footwork, his ability to move,” Manning said. “We’ve had big guys come through

the program before, and Trevor’s athleticism at that size has differentiated him from them.” Ruhland is one of several offensive linemen with both standout size and mobility that McHenry County has seen in recent years. Crystal Lake South’s Jake Bernstein (Vanderbilt) and Fahn Cooper (Mississippi), both 2011 graduates, will play in the Southeastern Conference this season. Prairie Ridge’s Shane Evans, who graduated in May, is at Northern Illinois, as is Marian Central grad Scott Taylor, a redshirt sophomore. Marian’s Bryan Bulaga, a 2007 graduate, started the area’s run of talented linemen with an outstanding career at Iowa. Bulaga, who now

plays right tackle for the Green Bay Packers, is the only lineman to be named Northwest Herald Player of the Year. He was the 23rd overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.

BEYOND HEIGHT AND WEIGHT Although size is a necessity to play on the offensive line at the collegiate and pro levels, it is not always the case for prep athletes. At the high school level, some linemen make up for their lack of size with their technical abilities and football IQ. “Most of our linemen have to be pretty intense when it comes to rule application, so you have to be able to think for sure,” Manning said. “We

Tulowitzki knows what Baez faces gwittenmyer@suntimes.com DENVER – Nobody has to explain to Troy Tulowitzki why the Cubs hope to “temper expectations” on super prospect Javy Baez during a twomonth debut that already has caused a massive spike in TV ratings and turned the Cubs into one of the top trending Twitter topics by Wednesday. “It’s a process. It’s difficult,” said Tulowitzki, a slugging middle infielder for the Colorado Rockies who faced the same

Cubs try to add talent The Cubs are trying to acquire pitcher Jacob Turner from the Marlins, and they worked out Cuban outfielder Rusney Castillo. Page C4 kind of hyped expectations as Baez when he broke into the majors in 2006. “You can be an MVP-type caliber player and still go through struggles. “It looks talent-wise like [Baez] has it. He’s going to get better as time goes on, though. I hope he has a lot of success

early, but if he doesn’t there’s no reason to panic.” Tulowitzki knows better than most. A No. 7 overall draft pick and highly ranked prospect when he broke in, he struggled to hit .240 with one homer in a monthlong debut in 2006 – then had a breakout season to help the Rockies reach the World Series in 2007. “The last thing you want to do as a young player is give him that job real early [in a season], and then he struggles and he has nowhere to go from there,” said the four-time All-

Star. “At least now if he does struggle, the season ends, and he has time to say, ‘OK, this was quite a season; I made it to the big-league level, and now I know what I need to do to stay there.’ ” Baez already has run the gamut of highs and lows in two big-league games. Tuesday night he struck out three times – twice on swings at eye-level fastballs – but also delivered a 12th-inning homer for a win during a 1-for-6 debut.

Trust, respect, humility VIEWS Rick Morrissey BOURBONNAIS – It was as though coach Marc Trestman was hoping for the question Wednesday. Not just expecting it in light of the suspension of tight end Martellus Bennett, but yearning for it: What kind of culture are you trying to instill at Bears training camp? And away he went. “The overriding philosophy is to get to know each other, to develop levels of trust between each other – coaches and players, players and coaches – and define our behavior through respect and humility,” Trestman said. “That we’re going to respect everybody around us. We’re going to treat them in high regard, and we’re going to understand what humility means, which is that we’re a part of something bigger than ourselves. “It’s really that simple. If you understand the definition of those three terms and you love football and want to play it and are a baller, we’ll find a place for you. We’re also in a position where we don’t expect everybody to understand that immediately. That’s a process; that’s a transformational process. It doesn’t take one week. It doesn’t take one month. It may not take a year. It may take more. “But that’s the day-to-day message that we’re sending . . . to our players – that if we do that, we’re going to [have] a better chance to win football games. You can have one without the other, but it helps to win football games with that kind of environment. It’s not perfect. It never will be, but it doesn’t take an entire stadium to make a Wave, either.” Given how long that quote is, you might think Trestman has hijacked my column. I think he just explained the heart of the trouble with Bennett, without getting into specifics. Bennett apparently has been showing only trace amounts of trust, respect and humility lately. When Trestman talked about some players being further along than others in grasping his philosophy, he clearly had Bennett in mind. When the Prodigal Son returns to the team, he still might have some issues, Trestman was saying. But as long as Bennett is willing to work on those issues, Trestman is willing to work with

Bears coach Marc Trestman reacts to a play during training camp July 25 in Bourbonnais. Trestman is trying to instill a culture of trust, respect and humility with the Bears.

“The overriding philosophy is to get to know each other, to develop levels of trust between each other – coaches and players, players and coaches – and define our behavior through respect and humility.” Marc Trestman Bears coach him. Now, we can debate whether a training-camp fight and some defiant statements afterward were cause for an indefinite suspension and a fine. If those were the only reasons for Bennett’s banishment, along with – gasp! – walking rather than jogging to the huddle, then I don’t see it as an assault on the American way of life. But the bigger point here is that there is no debating this is Trestman’s team.

And that, unfortunately, he likes the Wave. There’s an inherent contradiction in Trestman’s quest for a culture of respect amid large men competing hard for jobs. Love your neighbor, who is trying to take away your livelihood? Kind of hard to do sometimes. On Monday, when rookie cornerback Kyle Fuller tried to rip the ball from Bennett and, in the process, whipped Bennett hard to the ground, there was a good chance that the thought bubble above Bennett’s head was not going to read, “Kyle’s a swell guy just trying to do his job!” No, Bennett popped up and violently threw Fuller to the ground. The rest of the talk from Bears coaches and players about everybody loving everybody else like a family? Sure, if you say so. But when the “father” can cut some of his “sons” from the “family,” then it’s not much of a family. It’s a football team filled with men prone to anger. We don’t know what led to Bennett’s suspension. That can’t be overstated. But going forward,

it will be interesting to see how Trestman approaches more difficult disciplinary matters with other players. If petulant behavior in training camp is worth a suspension of, presumably, one preseason game, what’s a locker-room fight with a teammate worth during the regular season? Or inflammatory quotes going into an important game? Or a drinking problem? But this is training camp, where the foundation for the season is being laid. Show up as a fan in Bourbonnais, and you’ll see coaches teaching players extremely loudly. You’ll see some players who love what they’re doing and others who rather would be anywhere else. You’ll see the occasional scuffle. And you’ll see a head coach very involved with his team. Does he read too many books about being an effective leader? Quite possibly. But, if I have this right, it’s a transformational process. • Rick Morrissey is a Chicago Sun-Times sports columnist. Write to him at rmorrissey@suntimes. com.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS PORTLAND, Ore. – Landon Donovan scored the go-ahead goal in a 2-1 victory over German power Bayern Munich on Wednesday night in the Major League Soccer All-Star game. Making his record 14th All-Star appearance, Donovan dribbled the ball to the top of the box before blasting it past German World Cup goalkeeper Manuel Neuer in the 70th minute. The Bundesliga champions had seven members of the World Cup-winning German national team, but most of them remained on the bench until about the final 10 minutes. The MLS team included several players from the U.S. World Cup squad that advanced out of the group stage in Brazil, including Seattle’s Clint Dempsey and Toronto’s Michael Bradley. Donovan, the L.A. Galaxy striker who was left off the U.S. World Cup team, got a standing ovation from the crowd when he was subbed out after his goal. Bradley Wright-Philips of the New York Red Bulls tied it for the All-Stars early in the second half. Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring for Bayern early in the first half. The event caps a preseason tour for Bayern Munich, which hadn’t visited the U.S. in a decade. The team beat Chivas Guadalajara, 1-0, last week in New Jersey.

kfishbain@shawmedia.com BOURBONNAIS – Last year, receiver Josh Morgan started the Redskins’ preseason opener and had three catches for 39 yards. He entered that exhibition season as someone expected to play a key role. Now, Morgan heads into Friday’s Bears preseason opener against the Philadelphia Eagles as someone fighting for a roster spot. He maintains, however, that he takes this preseason with the same mentality. “I’ve never felt comfortable in my roster spot. That’s the same way I try to go into everything,” he said after Tuesday’s practice. “I have to make the team. I have to do whatever it takes to make the team. I’m never comfortable. “This is a league where every day, somebody’s trying to take your spot. Somebody is interviewing for your spot. They’ve got a thousand other people that’s trying to be here in my shoes and trying to take my spot. I’ve never been comfortable. I go into it with the same mentality and I try to go into it with the same work ethic.” Jordan Palmer is in a similar situation as he was two years ago, fighting

First-year Bears receiver Josh Morgan said he is focused on earning a roster spot. for a spot as a backup quarterback – then, he completed 9 of 13 passes for the Jaguars. Last preseason, he only had the finale to make an impression. “When Friday rolls around, I want to be locked in and show the coaches I can move the team, get us in and out of the right plays, find the open guy and hit him,” he said. “It’s just another game, really, and I’m excited for the opportunity to show the coaches that I can do that.” Ryan Mundy began last preseason as the No. 3 safety with the Giants. Now, he’s squarely in the competition to start for the Bears. Like Morgan, Mundy said he won’t let the different roster situation facing him affect his focus for Friday. “I’m highly intrinsically motivat-

ed. Regardless of the situation that’s going on around me, my motivation was always going to be high coming into this opportunity,” Mundy said. “I’m a hard worker. I’m just excited to be here and can’t wait to get out there and play on Friday.” The players won’t admit it, but the pressure that always comes with trying to make a 53-man roster will be elevated under the Soldier Field lights Friday, as Bears fans – and most importantly, the coaching staff – get their first chance to see some players in a game situation. “Going into this preseason game, it’s basically the same thing [as previous seasons],” Morgan said. “I want to go out there, do whatever I’ve got to do, work hard, learn everything, get the game plan down and go out there and put on a show, let my talents speak for themselves on game day.” Injury update: Kyle Long was held out of Wednesday’s practice with a sore ankle, along with Jordan Mills (foot). Tim Jennings (quad), Eben Britton (hamstring), Isaiah Frey (hamstring), Chris Conte (shoulder) and Craig Steltz (groin) all remained out. Coach Marc Trestman had not ruled any players out for Friday’s preseason game.

CANTON, Ohio – The Pro Football Hall of Fame is adding a contributor category for nomination next year. The addition was announced Wednesday, after being approved by the Hall’s bylaws for the selection committee. The new category has the potential of increasing the number of annual inductees to eight. The proposal to add a contributor category was first raised Friday, a day before the 2014 seven-member class was inducted. Hall of Fame president David Baker said there was a need to add the category to address what had become a backlog of qualified candidates, including commissioners, owners and general managers. There are currently only 19 contributors enshrined, and only nine of whom were inducted over the past 46 years. Candidates for induction in the category will be defined as someone who has made “outstanding contributions to professional football in capacities other than playing or coaching.” Previously, contributors were included among the modern-era nomination list of players and coaches, which was limited to a maximum of five inductees. Another two spots are open to senior nominees.

Defense tries to make up for last year • BEARS Continued from page C1 The 32-year-old enjoyed success in his limited time in 2013. Williams earned two sacks, which was still the second most for the Bears’ linebackers despite missing 10 games. However, not only is Williams out to redeem himself, but he also said the defense is out to make up for the disastrous season it had as a group. The defense ranked 30th in total yards allowed and dead last in rushing yards. Williams said the team is eager to get out and start tackling opponents. The Bears’ first preseason game is Friday against the Philadelphia Eagles. “Playing one of the opponents that I say personally embarrassed us last season, we’re eager to see how far we’ve come and still see what we have to do,” Williams said. “I want to shut them out. That’s how you approach every game, whether its preseason, regular season or practice. “I just want to see everybody beat their guy and get to the ball, be energetic and follow the plan,” he said. Although he wants the defense to succeed, Williams also has to prove himself to his coaches. Bears coach Marc Trestman has stressed that competition has been the theme of training camp and Williams is in one who could be considered in the closest race. When the preseason depth chart was released, Williams and second-year linebacker Jon Bostic were listed as co-starters for the middle linebacker spot. In camp, Bostic has been the starting nickel linebacker, with Williams taking the first-team reps with the base defense. “It kind of reminds me of me and [former All-Pro Broncos linebacker] Al Wilson when I first came in the league,” Williams said. “It’s a competition, and I want to play as many reps as possible and know that he does as well.”

Honing blocking techniques crucial to lineman’s success • FOOTBALL 101 Continued from page C1 really look for guys who like to finish blocks and get that mentality going, trying to set the tempo at the line of scrimmage.” Ruhland and Evans agreed that a good lineman also must have the mental and physical toughness to succeed at the position. “Besides being big, a lineman needs to be tough,” Evans said. “We’re out there for

every play giving it our all, so we don’t get any breaks.” Having a bit of a nasty streak doesn’t hurt, either. “You definitely have to be a ferocious, mean guy,” Ruhland said. “You must also be really smart, especially knowing personal and unit assignments.” Perhaps the most overlooked aspect of the position is the lack of credit that offensive lineman typically get, considering they are the primary protection and source of success for the quarterback

and running backs. “You think of a unit mostly because we play together,” Evans said. “One bad play not only makes you look bad, but makes everyone on the line look bad.”

BLOCKING TECHNIQUE With many different schemes involved in a team’s playbook, blocking techniques will vary for run- and pass-oriented plays and offenses. In order to improve these techniques, Manning said teams use blocking sleds

and live drills for muscle memory and conditioning purposes. “Depending on the offensive system, [blocking techniques] get pretty specific,” Manning said. “We run option football, so we have different releases off the line of scrimmage that are very important to us.” “As a run blocker, you have to move your feet faster,” Evans said. “As a pass blocker, you put more pressure on your inside foot, and you want to have hands

out on the defender.” For fast-tempo, run-heavy teams such as Cary-Grove and Prairie Ridge, the execution of particular blocks become important because the linemen are pushing to get to the second level of defense. “It varies based on the plays we run,” Manning said. “We have our option-veer release, and that’s a big part of what we do, and so is our backside protection like the cut-off blocks. We also double-team at the point of attack quite a bit.”

Tiger Woods practices Wednesday for the PGA Championship at Valhalla in Louisville, Ky. The tournament begins Thursday.

PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

Tiger should ‘wait ’til next year’ LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A fan wearing a Cubs hat caught in the crush around the third tee at Valhalla Golf Club raised both hands above his head to show off an Illinois license plate. It read: “TIGR WDS.” For those who questioned the wisdom of Woods returning to practice Wednesday, only three days after a bad back forced him to quit his last tournament mid-round, it seemed like an omen – and not a particularly good one. The unofficial motto of those sad-sack Cubs, after all, is “Wait ’til next year.” I’m not a doctor, but it sounds like good advice to me. Woods has played only nine full competitive rounds since surgery at the end of March to relieve pressure on a pinched nerve. His best finish this season is a tie for 25th. He withdrew from two other tournaments and missed the cut in a third. He always has said winning majors is what matters most, and his chances of sneaking past the field to capture this week’s PGA Championship – with less than a full round of practice under his belt – are about the same as the Cubs have to steal the pennant. “It’s a totally different golf course than what I played in 2000,” said Woods, who won the PGA here that year in a playoff with Bob May. “These greens are all different. I have my book from 2000; it’s useless. There’s some new things that we have to learn out there. “Joey (LaCava, Woods’ caddie) has been here on the ground. He’s got a pretty good handle on it,” he added. “We’ll run through some more of it as we go.” At this point, it’s worth noting that

VIEWS Jim Litke he’s not the Tiger Woods of 2000, either. It’s hard to imagine that guy even talking about trying to win a major on the fly. Back then, preparation was his hallmark, and Woods was collecting majors at such a furious pace that he seemed to be on cruise control in his pursuit of Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 career majors. That was true even after he won the 14th – and so far last – of his majors by beating Rocco Mediate, despite playing on a broken leg, in the 2008 U.S. Open. Then the sex scandal of 2009 turned Woods’ life and career upside down. What followed was a run of questionable decisions, compounded by more injuries. He won eight tournaments the past two full seasons he has played, but hasn’t seriously contended on the final nine of a major in five years. On top of that, he lost almost all of his major sponsors, save Nike, and hasn’t had much luck attracting new ones. I’m not a psychologist, either, so I can only speculate about what Woods’ motivation might be for rushing back to tournament play after the rough patch he has endured. But my guess is that at age 38, Woods is increasingly nervous about the game he helped grow moving on without him. He’s already watched a generation of youngsters he inspired to take up the game blow their tee shots past his. It must be an unsettling feeling.

As golfing rewards go, the only two big ones still out there this season are the PGA Championship and the Ryder Cup. After his practice session, Woods was asked whether he can win this week, and he answered tersely, “Yes.” “What do you need to do,” came a follow-up question, “to do that?” Woods was not much more revealing. “Hit it well and make every putt.” At the moment, qualifying for the U.S. Ryder Cup team is not a realistic goal, either. The top nine U.S. players in the points race qualify automatically, and Woods ranks 69th, sandwiched between two guys – Troy Merritt and Luke Guthrie – you’ve likely never heard of. In most years, Woods would be a lock for one of U.S. captain Tom Watson’s three wild-card selections. Instead, they’ve played a cat-and-mouse game in public the past few weeks, with Woods saying that he’s worthy of the pick and Watson saying he won’t commit either way until the formal announcement of the team Sept. 2. “I can’t answer that yet,” Watson said again Wednesday at Valhalla, where he’s in the field. “A lot of things can happen between now and then.” Like Michael Jordan, the other sporting great to whom Woods has been compared, it’s hard to think of him setting foot on a golf course just for the sake of “being out there.” It’s sad to see, but it happens to the very best of them. • Jim Litke is a national sports columnist for The Associated Press.

NCAA POWER CONFERENCES Q&A

Vote would let ‘Big 5’ set own rules By RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press The NCAA board of directors will vote Thursday on a proposal that would give the five wealthiest college football conferences the ability to make rules and pass legislation without the approval of the rest of Division I schools. The autonomy proposal is expected to pass. Here’s what you need to know about it:

Q: What do the big conferences want? A: The 65 schools in the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and Southeastern Conference would get the ability to pass permissive legislation to “enhance the well-being of student-athletes.” They want to be allowed to spend their growing revenues on things such as scholarships that cover the full cost of attending college beyond tuition, room and board and books. Those conferences also want to invest more in long-term health care and continuing education and ensure that athletes retain scholarships for four years. Schools in the other 27 Division I conferences can try to do some of those things if they want, but they will not be required to. “I think we’ve gotten to a place where we just believe there was a need for us to perhaps be a little less egalitarian, a little less magnanimous about the 350 schools and spend a little time worrying about the most severe issues that are troubling our programs among

Florida State football coach Jimbo Fisher celebrates Dec. 7 after winning the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game. the 65,” Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said Wednesday during a forum in New York hosted by the conference.

Q: Why do those conferences need autonomy to do that? A: In the past, schools in conferences that don’t have the billions of dollars in TV revenues that the so-called Big Five have stood in the way of the NCAA passing legislation that would have provided some of those extra benefits to athletes. Specifically, in 2011 a proposal that would have allowed schools to give athletes a $2,000 stipend to cover cost of attendance was overridden by about half of the 355 Division I schools.

FBS, all have said their members are prepared to do their best to provide the same additional benefits to student-athletes. Some schools, such as those in the American Athletic Conference or Mountain West, are probably better situated to spend more on athletes than others, such as those in the Sun Belt or Mid-American Conference. But they’ll try. “Will there be greater additional costs? More than likely,” Sun Belt commissioner Karl Benson said at the league’s football media day last month. “And yes, there will be challenges, but Sun Belt universities have invested too much not to be part of major college football in the future.” There is concern that schools trying to keep up with the Big Five in revenue sports such as football and men’s basketball might not have enough money to fund non-revenue Olympic sports.

Q: Who is against it? A: There are some in those

other 22 conferences who are concerned that giving the Big Five the ability to make their own rules will increase the competitive advantage those schools already have. The most vocal critic has been Boise State President Bob Kustra, who believes autonomy is the Big Five’s attempt to keep schools such as his from competing on the highest level. The Q: Will other conferences try to Broncos, who play in the MWC, have been a football power but do what the Big Five want to do? A: The leaders of the other often have been shut out of the five conferences that play at the biggest games, with the biggest highest level of college football, payouts.

“The NCAA cannot fall prey to phony arguments about student welfare when the real goal of some of these so-called reformers is create a plutocracy,” Kustra wrote in statement released to the media in May, “that serves no useful purpose in American higher education.”

Q: Why is this likely to pass? A: Because the Big Five generate millions in revenue for all NCAA members, and although the leaders of those conferences repeatedly have said they don’t want to break away from the rest of Division I, they also have made clear it is an option. So they’ll get what they want. It also helps relieve some of the pressure to reform an outdated amateur sports model, brought in part by a lawsuit that claims athletes deserve revenue from the use of their names and likenesses and a unionization effort from Northwestern football players.

Q: When would it go into effect? A: The formal start would be in January 2015, at the NCAA convention.

Q: Will fans notice a difference? A: Not really. Maybe in the long term some FBS schools will decide it’s too expensive to compete at that level and drop down to FCS. And it could be a step toward full separation between the Big Five and the rest of college athletics, but there is nothing to suggest that is imminent. For now, it will look like business as usual.

Bob Rossa, a Lake Michigan authority, recently wrote me an email, and it was staggering. “Most of our charter boats are coming in with 0 to 3 fish per trip,” Rossa wrote. “Most of these are lake trout. I caught two king salmon in the month of July. Nobody is catching kings from Indiana to Racine right now. “We are starting to believe there are none to catch. I knew the fishing was going to get bad, but never imagined it would get this bad this fast. I know of five boats that didn’t catch a fish today (Sunday). It looks like it’s the end of an era, and lots of people dependent on the fishing, such as the motels, marinas, bait shops, restaurants and fishing charters will be in dire straits. If we can’t catch them, they aren’t here!” This is shocking after reports the past couple of years have been glowing. Coho salmon hitting the 10-pound mark started showing up in the past two years. Big kings were starting to be the rule rather than the exception. We went through a period of years where it was an extreme rarity for a charter to bring in a king that weighed more than 20 pounds. In the past two years, 20-pound fish were being landed in pairs or maybe even triplets on occasion. I received more than one report of a 30-pound salmon being caught. This year’s spring even started off so promising that I felt the new era of big fish was set to continue. I called Rossa and a number of other charter captains to gauge the mood of the anglers. Rossa was adamant. He insisted that the fish were absent. “The only thing I can figure is that the IDNR’s cutback on stocking salmon is finally showing up in low numbers,” Rossa said. “This is basically a put-and-take fishery. If they don’t put them in, we can’t take them out. Thank goodness I’m ready for Social Security. I don’t know what the young guys are going to do.” The IDNR’s Lake Michigan Program Manager Vic Santucci agreed that this spring’s fishing was excellent but has fallen off in the summer months. “You know, I hate to say that there are people jumping the gun, but there are,” Santucci said. “The stocking was only cut by 8 percent in Illinois and only in 2013, so those fish would only be 2 years old right now, anyway. I don’t have any valid creel surveys in yet, so I can’t give you true data right now. Let’s give this some time before we say we’ve fallen off a cliff. Let’s wait and see how the data comes in after the fall fishing is complete.” Bob Jenkins of the Challenger told me that he believed that the fish were still out there, but the charters weren’t able to catch them. He claimed that the charters were marking plenty of fish on their sonar units, but they were not biting. He believes that the fish are in a totally negative feeding state because of the lack of winds we have felt in July. He opined that the salmon might just be in a very unusual pattern, hanging out in the shallows during what is a typically deep-water period. David Smith from the Last Cast believes that the weather patterns that have befallen Lake Michigan’s western shoreline have driven our salmon to the big pond’s eastern shore. He believes our Illinois salmon are swimming in Michigan waters. I decided to call Chip Porter. He was one of Lake Michigan’s most prominent charter captains until a couple of years ago. He fished all summer and staged the “Salmon Master School” across the Midwest during the winter. He was very successful and won his share of tournaments. I hadn’t seen Porter in two years and figured it was time to catch up with him. The last time I talked to Porter, he told me he had given up his schools. He said he couldn’t take people’s money to teach them how to fish for salmon because it was his belief that the salmon were going to disappear from Lake Michigan. Not only did

OUTDOORS Steve Sarley Porter shut down his school, he also quit running his charter service. Porter believes the salmon have disappeared, just like they did from Lake Huron a few years back. He blames it on the lake’s infestation with the quagga mussel. The quagga mussel is believed to have come here from the Ukraine in the ballast water of freighters. This invasive species filters out all of the microscopic foodstuff that begins the food chain. Although the zebra mussel gets all the publicity, it basically cleared the water and gave the lake’s bass fishery a big boost. The quagga filters the microplankton and other organisms out of the water. This takes away the food source for the minnows and fry. No minnows or fry leads to no food fish like alewives. No alewives and the salmon and trout starve off. It’s a vicious circle. Porter said the quagga is able to live in much deeper water, filter more food out of the system and is more able to affix itself to more varied types of bottom compositions than the zebra mussel. Porter doesn’t believe the state’s stocking cutbacks have harmed the fishery. He believes that even if more salmon were stocked, there isn’t enough food out there to support a good fishery right now. This is a perplexing problem. I am sure there will be hearings and studies and forums and meetings concerning this over the winter. I’ll try to stay on top of the issue as best I can and keep you informed as things transpire. Right now, all I can do is keep my fingers firmly crossed and hope for the best.

FISHING REPORT Northern Illinois: Dave Kranz from Dave’s Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports: “I am hearing good reports for catfishing on the Fox River. I like to use cut bait on a circle hook with a sliding egg weight or Sonny’s blood stink bait on a dip worm. Largemouth bass are hitting a Boogerman buzzbait in the first and last hours of daylight. During the heat of the day, fish the slop with a frog or on the deep edges with a Defender football jig. I have also heard of a good Lake Geneva pike bite using four-to-six-inch suckers in 25 to 30 feet of water.” Call 815-455-2040 for an updated report. Lake Geneva: Lowrance electronics expert Mark O’Neill reports, “The fish continue to be moving deeper, setting up for their late summer pattern with water temperatures slowly rising. Last weekend we saw water temperatures in the 75 to 76-degree range. We put a total of 19 fish in the boat, 16 smallmouth and three largemouth, the best of each species coming in just under 21 inches with the largemouth coming in at just over five pounds. The weather and wind cooperated, which led to a very pleasant day on the water. Still haven’t really seen any consistency with the larger smallmouth, but we all know they are there, it is just a matter of finding them.” The statewide report can be viewed at: www.ifishillinois. org/fishing_reports/digest.php Lake Michigan: “Fishing has remained slow on Lake Michigan this past week. Most of the fish being caught are lake trout right on the bottom in 150 to 200 feet of water. Chrome O dodgers with a green/white Spin N’ Glow tied 26-inches behind has taken most of the lakers. Few kings are being caught very early in the morning between 60 and 100 feet of water.” The Lake Michigan Fishing Report is provided by Captain Bob Rossa of Migrator Charters based out of Northpoint Marina - www.

Cubs try to acquire Marlins pitcher Team also works out Cuban OF Castillo By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com DENVER – The draft is long behind them, and the non-waiver trade deadline passed last week. But the Cubs still are trying to acquire more young players. Sources confirmed Wednesday the Cubs were granted their waiver claim on hard-throwing right-hander Jacob Turner and were working with the Miami Marlins on a deal to complete the acquisition. Also Wednesday, the Cubs held a private workout at Wrigley Field for Cuban outfielder Rusney Castillo, 27, a speedy leadoff candidate that major-league evaluators consider “very close” to big-league ready. Turner, the No. 9 pick in the 2009 draft, makes $1 million this season as part of the contract he signed with the Detroit Tigers, who dealt him to the Marlins in the trade for right-hander Anibal Sanchez in 2012. Turner, 23, also has a $1 million contract option for 2015, when he otherwise would be eligible for arbitration. The 6-foot-5 Turner struggled in the Marlins’ rotation this season before being sent to the bullpen, where he didn’t fare much better. One scout suggested he reacted emotionally to the demotion and might have let it affect his pitching. Castillo is said to want to decide on a team quickly. Almost every big-league team attended his open workout recently, and at least a half-dozen teams have set up private workouts with him. Some consider the Cubs among the favorites to land him. President Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer in recent days said they hoped to be active during the August waiver period. “It’s hard to make moves in August,” Epstein said Tuesday, referring to waiver restrictions. “Anything’s possible. We’ve seen a couple of big deals in August in recent years, but it’s more the exception than the norm. “We don’t have anything in the hopper as of yet. I can’t promise you anything, but we are looking at August as a potential opportunity to acquire players who fit for the future.”

White Sox right fielder Dayan Viciedo looks over center fielder Adam Eaton after Eaton slammed into the right-center field fence chasing a two-run home run by the Texas Rangers’ Adam Rosales in the second inning Wednesday at U.S. Cellular Field. The Sox lost, 3-1.

RANGERS 3, WHITE SOX 1

Telling homestand indeed Sox finish set at Cell 2-4 against 2 of AL’s worst teams By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com CHICAGO – This was the homestand in which the White Sox were supposed to make some hay. Instead, they pretty much bailed out of whatever slim hopes they had of playing meaningful games the rest of the way. By falling to the struggling Texas Rangers, 3-1, Wednesday afternoon with a lackluster performance at U.S. Cellular Field – except for Chris Sale’s six solid yet inefficient innings – the Sox completed a homestand against the American League Central’s last-place Twins and the majorleague-worst Rangers (45-69) with a 2-4 record. They took off for Seattle with a 55-60 record. It never looked like the Sox, who lost, 16-0, the night before, were in this one mentally from the get-go. Alexei Ramirez getting picked off first by right-hander Nick Tepesch (4-7) in the first inning was the first sign. Alejandro De Aza getting easily doubled off on Gordon Beckham’s liner to second in the fifth was the next one. And you had to wonder why Dayan Viciedo – whose homer in the seventh accounted for the Sox’s only run – was swinging at 2-0 and 3-1 pitches high

and outside the strike zone when the Sox’s only need was getting a runner on base. They trailed by two runs at the time. “We’ve got to be better at that,” manager Robin Ventura said of the bad baserunning. “You’ve got to be able to freeze right there [De Aza], especially when you’re down. You have to make sure it’s going through. We’ve got to be Robin Ventura better at that, and these are guys it seems to be happening to over and over again.” The De Aza mistake gave the Rangers their third double play in as many innings, each one starting with a hit that went for naught. Then there was Adam Eaton crashing into the right-center-field fence on Maine South grad Adam Rosales’ two-run homer, the first of a pair for the Rangers second baseman. Whether it was bad judgment (likely), overexuberance or a combination of both, Eaton’s crash likely will cause him to miss more time. His hot bat at the top of the lineup is one the Sox can’t afford to lose. Eaton gets a pass, or at least a partial pass, for effort.

“That hurts him and obviously helps him,” Sale said of Eaton’s all-out style. “But you respect it. You’ve got a guy who brings it every day and plays hard every single day. If the worst thing you say about the guy is he plays too hard, that’s probably the best compliment you can possibly give him.” Sale, losing for only the second time to go with 10 wins, struck out nine, walked two and gave up three hits over six innings that required 111 pitches to navigate through. “I was kind of sporadic through the whole game,” said the Cy Young candidate who hadn’t lost since June 12 in Detroit. “It’s been the last couple of starts where my fastball command has been off. Just work on that between here and next week and hopefully be able to get a little bit deeper into the game next time.” Sale (2.14 ERA) has 47 strikeouts and five walks in his last five starts. “We’ve still got to keep our heads up,” Sale said. In taking the series from the Sox, who only won a rain-shortened 5-3 decision Monday, the Rangers were able to leave town holding their heads up after winning consecutive games for the first time since June 27 and 28.

SOX NOTES

Eaton loses run-in with fence, injures back By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com CHICAGO – White Sox center fielder Adam Eaton left the game Wednesday against the Texas Rangers with a bruised lower back after crashing into the fence while chasing a home run by Adam Rosales in the second inning. Eaton, who walked off the field slowly but under his own power, hit the fence in full stride, apparently losing sight of where it was. X-rays were negative. Rosales’ homer gave the Rangers a 2-0 lead. “I kind of miscalculated a little bit,” said Eaton, who thought the ball had the same trajectory as another that was hit the same way earlier, except that “the crazy wind of Chicago” pushed it farther. “I’ve never done that be-

fore. I’m a little embarrassed.” Eaton won’t play Thursday and said the long flight to Seattle will tell him a lot about how much more time he might miss. He seemed a bit woozy, too. E a t o n , Adam Eaton whose gungho style has been a topic of conversation because of the risks it presents to his health, has missed 22 games with a variety of injuries. He was on the 15day disabled list in May with a strained right hamstring. “I was bound and determined to kind of put everything aside, which is not the smartest thing to do,” Eaton said. Eaton, the Sox’s leadoff man, has a .305 average and a

.372 on-base percentage. Dunn gets his wish: Slugger Adam Dunn’s desire to pitch in a major-league game finally came true in the Sox’s 16-0 loss Tuesday. “He’s been begging for three years,” manager Robin Ventura said. “He was a little shocked when I walked up and said, ‘Tonight’s your night.’ ” “I wasn’t going out there to blow it out,” said Dunn, who said he conserved velocity and threw what the Rangers called a “power sinker,” a pitch in the low 80s with movement. “My biggest concern was throwing strikes.” Dunn has 457 career home runs, the most by a player at the time of his first pitching appearance – one more than Hall of Famer Jimmie Foxx, who had 456 homers when he took the mound in 1939 (Elias). Cooper to miss Seattle: Pitch-

ing coach Don Cooper can’t fly because of his bout with vertigo, so Seattle and possibly San Francisco are out of the question. “He’s just not feeling any better,” Ventura said. “It wouldn’t do him any good to get him on a plane. Just stay here, get some treatment and figure out what’s going on.” Club Konerko: Retiring captain Paul Konerko will be honored throughout September, with tributes and special promotions for fans at each of the Sox’s 11 home games that month. A “Club Konerko” will be created in Sections 158 and 159. Go to whitesox.com/ konerko for the full list. Konerko, who was hitting .364 as a pinch hitter entering play Wednesday, struck out against Neal Cotts, a member of the Sox’s 2005 World Series champions, in the seventh.

Epstein expects Baez ROCKIES 13, CUBS 4 Rockies rough up Arrieta, end skid to struggle this season By MICHAEL KELLY The Associated Press

• CUBS Continued from page C1 Then Wednesday he swung at first pitches his first two trips to the plate, for a popup with a man at third and none out and a fly to right. It’s why team president Theo Epstein said upon Baez’s promotion, “I like the timing. I like the fact that he’s got a nice, long chunk and will be playing just about every day and will have his eight weeks. “And then, who knows?” Epstein added. “Maybe he’ll have immediate success, and he can take stock of that this

winter. But more likely, if he follows the path of other very talented 21-year-olds in the big leagues, he’ll have some things to think about and be proud of himself for this year that he had, but also recognize this winter will be a nice time to make some adjustments and try to hit the ground running next year as well.” Baez, 21, has tended to struggle initially at each level of the minors before dominating. Is he prepared for that now? “Hopefully not,” he said. “Hopefully, I’ll figure it out pretty soon and start doing good.”

DENVER – Carlos Gonzalez homered, doubled and singled in his return to the lineup, and the Colorado Rockies snapped a five-game losing streak with a 13-4 victory over the Cubs on Wednesday night. Cubs second baseman Javy Baez, who homered in the 12th inning Tuesday in his major league debut to give the Cubs a 6-5 win, went 0 for 4 Wednesday. Corey Dickerson had four hits, drove in three and was a homer shy of the cycle. Mike McKenry also homered for Colorado. The Rockies hadn’t won

since beating the Cubs last week at Wrigley Field, but ended their struggles with a big sixth inning against starter Jake Arrieta (6-3). Trailing 4-3, the first seven batters had hits, including Gonzalez’s 11th homer, a two-run shot that gave the Rockies a 6-4 lead. Gonzalez had not started since aggravating his sprained right ankle Friday in Detroit. Jordan Lyles (6-1) came off the 60-day disabled list to earn his first win since May 10. He allowed four runs on six hits in six innings in the first start by a Rockies right-hander in 21 games. Arrieta left after allowing pinch-hitter Brandon Barnes’ RBI single that made it 9-4.

Kyuji Fujikawa came on and allowed the final run before retiring the side. Arrieta, who had not allowed more than four runs in a game this season, gave up nine runs on 13 hits. The nine earned runs allowed matched a career high. Colorado added four more runs off reliever Chris Rusin in the seventh on Dickerson’s two-run single and McKenry’s two-run homer. Cubs left fielder Chris Coghlan led off the game with a triple and scored on a sacrifice fly. He singled and doubled in his next two at-bats but walked in his last plate appearance to finish a home run shy of the cycle.

SWIMMING: U.S. NATIONALS

FIVE-DAY PLANNER TEAM

Phelps finishes 7th in 100 free By BETH HARRIS The Associated Press IRVINE, Calif. – Michael Phelps botched his turn halfway through the 100-meter freestyle and finished next-to-last in a star-studded field at the U.S. national championships. Nathan Adrian led all the way to win in 48.31 seconds Wednesday night, claiming his sixth title in seven years. Ryan Lochte was second in 48.96, swimming in the far outside lane. Jimmy Feigen finished third in 48.98. Phelps was last at the turn and straggled home in 49.17, beating only Seth Stubblefield. It was Phelps’ worst showing – albeit against the strongest competition yet – since launching a comeback in April. He is focusing on shorter and fewer events than what he did in winning 18 Olympic gold medals. He got no push-off coming off the wall, leaving him with nothing to offer over the closing meters. “Maybe he should have listened to me when I said, ‘Everybody go in there and do some turns on the turn wall because it’s hard to see,’ ” said Bob Bowman, Phelps’ coach. Conor Dwyer took fourth, joining the top three on the U.S. team for the Pan Pacific championships later this month in Australia. “That group of eight guys is much faster than what we showed,” Adrian said. Bowman agreed, saying, “You get

In the morning when there’s a couple of them in there that’s when they kind of break out.” Phelps, the most decorated Olympian in history, has three other events in which to qualify for Pan Pacs. His last long-course national title in the 100 free came in 2005. Adrian and Phelps swam next to each other. After the race, Phelps told Adrian, “Man, I missed the wall.” Adrian replied, “Good thing you’re the best swimmer of all time. You’re going to get on the team.” The men’s 100 final featured seven Olympians, including five who own individual gold medals. Phelps has a day off Thursday and will return in the 100 butterfly Friday.

In the women’s 100 free, Missy Franklin surged over the last lap to win in 53.43, tying for the fifth-fastest time in the world this year. Simone Manuel, the quickest qualifier in morning preliminaries with a career-best time, finished second in 53.66. Franklin was third at the turn, behind leader Manuel and Natalie Coughlin. The final featured four Olympians – Franklin, Coughlin, Shannon Vreeland and Amanda Weir. Vreeland was third in 54.14, Coughlin finished seventh and Weir was last. Abbey Weitzeil, a 17-year-old Californian, took fourth, ensuring a trip to her first major international meet. Olympic champion Katie Ledecky earned her third straight national title in the 800 free with a time of 8:18.47 – well off her world-record time of 8:11.00 set last month at a meet in Texas. Cierra Runge was second in 8:24.69 and 16-year-old open-water national champion Becca Mann finished third in 8:26.64. Tom Shields led all the way to win the 200 butterfly in 1:55.09, third-fastest in the world this year. His early speed held up over Olympian Tyler Clary, who took second in 1:56.00. Olympian Cammile Adams won the 200 fly in 2:07.12. Defending champion and Olympian Connor Jaeger easily won the 1,500 free, cruising to the wall in 14:51.06, fourth-quickest in the world. Michael McBroom was second in 14:56.17.

Reduce blood pressure medication Battle of the sexes over sex ignites feedback from readers by committing to lifestyle changes Dear Abby: I just finished reading the letter from “Pressured” (April 23), the wife whose husband keeps track of how often he and his wife have had sex and his determination to have sex 100 times a year. She was wondering if this is normal. I can tell her my former husband thought we should have sex five times a week. He kept a calendar of when we had sex that also included who initiated it. I explained to him I was more than willing to have frequent sex, but he also had to be an attentive, caring husband. Our marriage counselor believed he was suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression and was probably a diagnosable narcissist. Surprise, surprise! He pronounced our marriage counselor to be inept and divorced me. “Pressured” says she has a good marriage, so I assume that means she has a caring husband. I would advise her to do her best to enthusiastically and creatively meet his needs. Most men express love and feel loved by having sex. Scorekeeping could be his ineffective attempt at communicating his need to feel loved. – The Ex-Mrs. Dear Ex: Thank you for writing. The saying “men are

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips from Mars, women are from Venus” aptly applies to the responses I received from my readers about that letter. Read on: Dear Abby: Most guys might keep track of how often they’re having sex, although more likely it’s how long since the last time, or maybe how many times a week. But this guy is an idiot for letting his wife know he’s tracking it, let alone that he has a goal of 100 times. Hopefully he’s not procreating, just “recreating” in bed. Abby, I thought you knew men better. “Fifty great versus 100 ‘so-so’ times” – are you kidding? Surely you know the saying, “Even bad sex is pretty good sex.” We guys will take it any way, any how, anytime. For us, it’s all good, all the time. – Dan In Irving, Texas Dear Abby: Unfortunately, my husband also likes to keep a running tab of our sexual frequency. It galls me. I saw a movie years ago in which a couple saw the same therapist and one tells the counselor, “We never have sex. We only do it three times a week.” While the

other says, “We have sex all the time. We do it three times a week.” We must consider the other person and his or her needs, whether they’re emotional, sexual or physical. Emotional and physical are not necessarily the same. – Denise In

Michigan Dear Abby: For most men, sex is just a little less important than breathing and eating as essential to our existence. Men are getting fed up with being deprived. I often have considered extramarital sexual pursuits, and I feel I’d be justified in doing so. I know I’m not alone. Men have needs and should have a right to share intimate relations with their wives. If not, we should be given the green light to fulfill our needs elsewhere. – James In

Kentucky Dear Abby: I had to chuckle at “Pressured.” I have been married 20 years and have five children. I figure my husband and I are intimate an average of 260 times a year. Needless to say, my husband greets me with a smile every day, and our marriage is rock solid. –

Dear Dr. K: Is it possible to get off blood pressure-lowering medication through diet and exercise? Dear Reader: Yes, it is. I’ve seen many patients commit to lifestyle changes and get off blood pressure medicines entirely. More often, I’ve seen that a commitment to a healthier lifestyle allows people to greatly reduce how much medication they take, even though they still need some medicines to control their blood pressure. While many people, myself included, would like to not have to take medicines at all, being able to reduce the dose is a big deal. Many of the side effects of medicines are reduced or eliminated by reducing the dose. Regular exercise is one of the best ways to reduce high blood pressure. Still, it’s important to talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise program. If you are taking certain blood pressure medications, you might have to take extra precautions when you exercise. For example, thiazide diuretics slightly lower blood volume, so you may be more prone to dehydration with exercise. Aerobic exercise, which boosts your heart rate and breathing, is best for lowering blood pressure. Aim to

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff do 30 minutes or more of moderate-intensity activity on most days of the week. Brisk walking, jogging and swimming are all good activities. Try to work up to 60 minutes a day. Some resistance training is fine, but don’t strain. Do more repetitions at lighter weights to prevent temporary blood pressure spikes. Many of my patients have started exercise programs to lose weight. But if they didn’t lose weight, they stopped the exercise. They thought the only value in exercise was losing weight. They didn’t realize exercise produces enormous health benefits – with or without weight loss. Regular exercise lowers a person’s risk of heart disease and stroke, diabetes and many common types of cancer. Good nutrition also can help lower blood pressure. A blood-pressure friendly diet includes plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains; several servings daily of low-fat dairy products; some fish, poultry, dried beans, nuts and seeds; and minimal

red meat, sweets and sugary beverages. Limit your salt intake to no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium a day. (On my website, www. askdoctork.com, I’ve put a table listing lower-sodium alternatives in common food categories.) You also should aim to: • Attain and maintain a healthy weight. Exercise alone can help drop your blood pressure, and so can weight loss alone, by reducing your calories. But the combination of regular exercise and weight loss is more powerful than either alone. • Limit alcohol. No more than one drink a day for a woman and no more than two drinks a day for a man. • Stress less. Relaxation techniques such as meditation, deep breathing and yoga can help relieve stress. Lifestyle changes can have a powerful beneficial effect in lowering your blood pressure and the risk of diseases worsened by high blood pressure – particularly heart disease and stroke. This is not sanctimonious preaching, it’s solid science.

Give a pet a happy, loving home Dr. Wallace: I wrote to you and was thrilled you took the time to answer personally. I am the one who was having problems learning biology. I followed your instructions and had an after-school meeting with my counselor, my mother and the teacher. I’m happy to report that I wound up with a B for the semester. My father gave me $25 as a reward for bringing up my grade from a C- to a B. I’d like to donate the money to your favorite charity in your honor. If you don’t agree, I’ll buy $25 worth of chocolate and eat it all! – Maria, San Antonio, Texas Maria: You made me an offer I can’t refuse. Please donate the money to an animal shelter in San Antonio. Animal shelters go above and beyond the call of duty to help homeless and unwanted pets, and they do everything possible to see that they find homes where they will be wanted and loved.

STEVE HARVEY MOVES AWARDS FOR FAN BASE

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Thursday, August 7, 2014 • Section C • Page 8

ATLANTA – Steve Harvey thought moving his annual Neighborhood Awards from Las Vegas to Atlanta would be more economically feasible for his loyal radio listeners to attend. “Probably 90 percent of my radio listeners are east of the Mississippi River,” the actor and comedian said. “Vegas was great to us. But I thought if we moved this to a hot city like Atlanta, economically we could save people a lot of money.” Harvey is hosting the 12th annual national convention in Atlanta for the first time. The four-day event will be held at Philips Arena and the Georgia World Congress Center, kicking off Thursday.

BUZZWORTHY crisis that hobbled the Corcoran in a competitive city full of government-funded museums that offer free admission.

Baseball Hall of Fame plans traveling exhibit COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. – The National Baseball Hall of Fame is teaming with IMAX, Major League Baseball and other partners for a national traveling exhibit featuring historical artifacts from the Cooperstown museum and state-of-the-art interactive digital media. The announcement made Wednesday in New York says the tour will visit major league cities and spring training sites starting in the spring of 2016. In addition to IMAX and MLB Advanced Media, the Hall of Fame is partnering on the project with Boston Red Sox Chairman Tom Werner and Creative Artists Agency, a leading entertainment and sports agency.

Judge hears arguments on Corcoran Gallery merger

Ford role cast in musical about Toronto’s mayor TORONTO – A Canadian actor with an uncanny resemblance to Rob Ford has landed the role of Toronto’s infamous mayor in an upcoming new musical comedy. “Rob Ford the Musical: Birth of A Ford Nation” is set to debut at Toronto’s Factory Theatre on Sept. 16, just over a month before Ford seeks re-election Oct. 27. It will run through Sept. 28. The 90-minute show has 10 original tunes and sees a “spiritual guide” leading Ford through the past year of his tumultuous life – including his admitted drug use and stint in rehab. Sheldon Bergstrom, a portly 42-year-old Canadian who dyed his hair blond, said he begged the producers to try out. Producers said he won the role over nearly 100 other hopeful actors, including one who is starring on Broadway. “All across Canada, all throughout the world, people are watching this man, this mayor of ... Canada’s greatest city, and he has managed to pull off some amazing things and pull off some crazy things in his time as mayor,” Bergstrom said. Bergstrom said the script gives Ford a “fair shake” and it’s not about picking on Ford, who has bounced from controversy to controversy since admitting last year that he had smoked crack in a “drunken stupor.” Ford returned to work June 30 after a two-month stint in rehab, pledging an “unwavering” commitment to living clean. His duties as mayor have been curtailed since last year, when Toronto’s City Council stripped him of most of his powers. Writer Brett McCaig said that resemblance, as well as Bergstrom’s talent, got him the part.

WASHINGTON – After years of financial and management trouble, the fate of one of the nation’s oldest museums and one of the few independent art galleries in Washington is now in the hands of a judge. Attorneys made closing arguments Wednesday in a court case to determine the future of the Corcoran Gallery of Art and its college after presenting evidence for six days. Trustees of the gallery are seeking to merge the museum and college into George Washington University and the National Gallery of Art, effectively dissolving one of the nation’s oldest museums and handing over its $2 billion in assets. A group of students and faculty have fought the merger in court, arguing there are ways to save the Corcoran.

HOMElife Keep pests away from entertaining areas outdoor entertaining area completely pest-free, there are ways to keep such unwanted intrusions manageable. Identify common pests

Outdoor entertaining is one of the joys of nicer weather. People routinely gather on the patio or around the pool when the weather warms up, and such recreational activities can foster companionship and reduce stress. However, if nuisance animals and insects are sharing entertaining spaces, these pests can quickly put a damper on the festivities. While it may seem impossible to keep an

Yard pests vary depending on geography, so the first step is to figure out which pests are native to your area. Mosquitoes can be found in many locales, but certain insects may be exclusive to specific regions. For example, palmetto bugs are native to moist, tropical areas, such as the southeastern United States. In addition to insects, squirrels, moles, raccoons, and other rodents may also descend on a property. Neighborhoods that abut natural ecosystems or infringe on wild animals’ habitats may see a wider array of animals encroaching on entertaining spaces. Deer, bears, coyotes, and certain

bird species can present their own brands of trouble. Homeowners new to an area may have to experience a learning curve to determine which pests are common to a certain area, as well as which seasons bring which creatures. Try natural repellents first To minimize damage to the environment and to protect local wildlife, homeowners should exhaust natural ways to repel pests before resorting to less eco-friendly methods. Animals can be kept out of a yard with fences and other barriers, such as thorny bushes. Many pests are deterred by smells or certain structures in a lawn or garden. For example, inserting chicken wire into a garden bed may be enough to repel burrowing animals. Certain insects, such as flies and mosquitoes, find the aromas of citronella grass, basil and marigold offensive. Surrounding a property with these plants can create a natural bug repellent. Lavender and rosemary are other aromatics that may deter pests. Blood meal and soap solutions can repel deer and other wildlife that may feed on garden plants. Pests attracted to food can be kept at bay with frequent sweeping or hosing down of the patio. In addition, maintain a clean grill and store trash in tightly secured

receptacles. Consider more traditional alternatives If natural repellents do not work, you may need to rely on more traditional products to repel insects and other pests. Beetle traps lure beetles with an inviting scent before the beetle gets trapped in a bag and cannot exit. Traps for wasps and flies follow a similar premise. Bug zappers are largely viewed as an inhumane option but can be highly effective. Unfortunately, these zappers also attract and kill beneficial insects, such as bees and butterflies. Chemical repellents also are available. Stores stock pesticides that will rid plants of damaging insects. These repellents also may be used around the patio to make the area inhospitable to insects and other pests. Contact an exterminator If the problem is simply too difficult to manage on your own, then you might need to contact an exterminator, who can spray the perimeter of the home for bugs and can also be called in to safely trap and remove nuisance animals. An exterminator may also have detailed knowledge of protected species and which habitats can and cannot be disturbed.

Michelangelo said, “The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark.” At the bridge table, though, sometimes you must decide between setting your sights high or low. How does that apply to this deal? South is in three no-trump and West leads a fourth-highest spade six. What happens after that? South starts with seven top tricks: one spade (given the irst trick), three hearts, two diamonds and one club. He hopes that the club inesse is working. But even if it loses, West might not ind the right defense. South takes East’s spade jack with his king, leads a heart to dummy’s king, and runs the club 10. It loses, but West is now in a quandary. Who has the spade queen? East would have played the jack at trick one with either only the jack or the queenjack. And South would have won with his king, whether or not he also had the queen. If South still has the spade queen and another spade, West needs to shift to a diamond in the hope that his

partner can win with the ace and return a spade through South. But if East has the spade queen, that suit can be run now. Should West play his partner for a queen or an ace? Do not be greedy; set your sights low. West should cash the spade ace. Perhaps South started with king-queendoubleton. Here, though, East should throw (unblock) his queen under partner’s ace. By applying the Rule of Eleven at trick one (11 - 6 = 5), East should know that South started with only one spade higher than the six, the king he has already played.

TODAY - Don’t take a relaxed attitude when it comes to your future. Hard work and dedication will be needed, no matter what your goals are. Once you have found your inspiration, direct your energies toward fulfilling your dreams. Make a point of celebrating only after you’ve attained your goals. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Get ready to enjoy interacting with others. Your charismatic personality will bring you lots of favorable attention. Indulge your romantic side and plan an unforgettable adventure with someone special. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You will receive no sympathy if you are being difficult or fretful. A moody temperament will make it hard for others to relate to you. Keep your problems a secret and avoid interference. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Showcase your talents. You will move forward once others are aware of what you have to offer. Interact with people who can help you reach your objectives.

You are at your best when taking a leadership role. Someone with the potential to affect your plans will take an interest in your abilities. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Go over your financial records carefully. If you have misestimated your budget, make the necessary adjustments quickly to avoid penalties or blemishes on your reputation. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Resist the urge to stretch the truth. It may be difficult at first, but you need to set the record straight before you are faced with an embarrassing consequence. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t let your fears hold you back. You may suffer a small setback, but if you are persistent, you will succeed. Have faith in yourself.

Students ‘running with’ murder mystery dinner theater Story by JAMI KUNZER – jkunzer@shawmedia.com

ombine “The Breakfast Club” and “Clue” and you’ve got “The Shape of Murder.” Written by a 2005 Prairie Ridge High School graduate, the play will be performed Aug. 23 as part of the first murder mystery dinner theater at McHenry High School West Campus. Because dinner is part of the show – to take place at 6:30 p.m. in the West Campus cafeteria – tickets must be pre-ordered by Aug. 12. The cast of 10 and crew of about 20 students have spent the summer rehearsing, designing and helping to produce the show, utilizing both their creativity and independence. “There was really very little to do because they were all so willing to take more of an active role in putting the production together,” said Angie Kells, theater director for McHenry’s District 156. “They’ve all really been designing and creating and running with it.” Kells sought out Chicago actor and playwright Bill Daniel, having known him since his days in Prairie Ridge theater productions. Daniel, 27, had spent the past year writing a 10-minute play every day, and his creations have appeared in Chicago theaters and most recently at the Woodstock Opera House. Kells had wanted to add a third production to McHenry’s theater schedule, which also includes a fall

She knew the school had never tried a dinner theater before and thought it would be a fun challenge. “I asked Bill if he’d be willing to write something,” Kells said. “He came back a month later and [said], ‘Is this OK?’ And it was perfect. It’s G-rated, nothing gory, something for students to do, to sink their teeth into and have some fun with.” The play focuses on a group of eight students in detention trying to figure out who shredded the costume of the school’s mascot, the Warrior. “By the end of detention, they have to figure out who killed the high school mascot [costume] or they’re going to be expelled,” said Daniel, whose collection of three one-act plays recently were performed as part of TownSquare Players’ Phoenix Workshop, “Sitting at the Kids’ Table,” at the Woodstock Opera House. “I tried to write something I thought high school students could manage, but as close to a Chicago show as possible. I guess in a way it’s a training ground for high school students. ... As a high school student, I remember thinking it’d be great to write a show and then do it, so I guess I’m living through these high school students.” Daniel’s most recent work was a television pilot

called “Cowl Girl” that he’s hoping gets picked up by a network. The comedy-inspired sitcom mixes ‘80s pop culture, sci-fi, comic book heroes and references to a Pee-Wee Herman doll. In Daniel’s “The Shape of Murder,” similar to “The Breakfast Club,” each student takes on a somewhat stereotypical role, such as the “book worm” played by 17-year-old McHenry West senior Emma Linder. The students were given freedom to shape their characters, picking their own costumes and such. They also did their own theater warm-ups and activities, practicing improv and vocal warm-ups before rehearsals. “It’s the first time we’ve ever done something like this at West Campus, so it’s kind of like the prototype play,” Linder said. “All the kids there are really just trying their best to make a good show.” The goal is to make the show, or some version of it, an annual tradition, perhaps rotating between dinner theater and student-directed one-act plays, Kells said. Because rehearsals took place throughout the summer, more time was available to flush out the production. “This one was a nice stepping stone,” she said. “Next year, I could see it expanding.”

BERT LAMS & TOM GRIESGRABER WHEN: 8 p.m. Aug. 8 WHERE: Tree of Life Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 5603 Bull Valley Road, Woodstock COST & INFO: Tickets: $18 in advance, $20 at the door. Tickets and information: www.brownpapertickets.com/event/783714.

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com When internationally renowned guitarists Bert Lams and Tom Griesgraber sat down and improvised some music, the story of the early pioneers evolved. Lams, a member of the California Guitar Trio, and Griesgraber, known as one of the world’s most active players of the Chapman Stick – a 12-string guitar and bass hybrid – recently released “Unnamed Lands.” The duo will play portions of the CD, a culmination of four years of work featuring 14 original instrumental tracks, as they kick off a Midwest tour at 8 p.m. Aug. 8 at Tree of Life Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 5603 Bull Valley Road, Woodstock. Lams, originally from Belgium, has toured with Griesgraber since 2004. “Tom has a studio in his house,” Lams said. “We would just improvise for a half hour or so and listen to it and find the good spots and elaborate and write music through improvisation. ... The music just seemed to have this feel, some kind of emotion.” As they began mixing the album, their producer gave them a book about the early pioneers traveling west during the 1800s in covered wagons. The arduous journey resulted in deaths and miserable conditions for those

involved, who endured harsh weather, wild animals and other challenges. The music seemed to tell that story, Lams said. “It reflects on the certain stages these people went through,” he said. “Each piece kind of shows a little bit of what happens when something like a big storm comes. People can use their imaginations.” Accompanied by a 12-page booklet featuring original stories presented as diary entries about the journey and original artwork by Jack and Laurent Duriex, the album has been submitted for a Grammy award. When they perform, Lams said the duo talks between each piece, telling the story along the way. An honors graduate of the Royal Conservatory of Music in Belgium, Lams’ music through the years has blended styles as diverse as Beethoven symphonies, progressive rock, surf guitar and spaghetti western themes. Both he and Griesgraber have released solo CDs, with Griesgraber’s latest, “Sketchbook” showcasing instrumental rock, jazz and classical music. Griesgraber is an honor graduate of Berklee College of Music. The Greater Midwest Guitar Circle, an ensemble of acoustic guitarists from throughout the Chicago area, will open for the duo Aug. 8.

The Associated Press Take one Oscar-winning British actress. Add an appealing supporting cast. Lather on the picturesque French countryside. Sprinkle liberally with gorgeous food shots, from bubbling, spicy Indian delicacies to perfectly composed French plates of pigeon and truffles. And then heap on a heavy serving of corn. What is it about recent food movies – Jon Favreau’s “Chef,” and now Lasse Hallstrom’s “The Hundred-Foot Journey”– that, despite their virtues, they have to be so darned corny, so dewy-eyed, with everything tied up in a bow at the end? It’s as if all that food on set had this tranquilizing effect, sending everyone off, sated and smiling, with great life lessons learned, into a rosy sunset. That’s not to say there isn’t a lot going for “Journey,” an adaptation of the novel by Richard Morais about an Indian family who opens a restaurant in a French village. Besides the abovementioned virtues, notably the always delightful Helen Mirren and the entertaining Indian actor Om Puri, it has the absurdly good-looking couple of Manish Dayal, as a gifted young Indian chef, and Charlotte Le Bon, as the gorgeous sous-chef who teaches him the joys of haute cuisine (and not much more – this is a PG-rated movie). It also has a script by the talented Steven Knight and a score by Oscar-winner A.R. Rahman (“Slumdog Millionaire”). Oh, and it’s produced by Oprah Winfrey and Steven Spielberg. Given all these lovely

“THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY” STARRING: Helen Mirren, Om Puri, Manish Dayal

PLOT: The Kadam family clashes with Madame Mallory, proprietress of a celebrated French restaurant, after they open their own nearby eatery, until undeniable chemistry causes the Madame to take gifted young chef Hassan under her wing. RATED: PG for some thematic elements, some violence, language and brief sensuality RUNNING TIME: 2 hours, 2 ingredients, then, why is the product so bland – and, not to lay on too many cooking metaphors, reductive? We begin in India, where we meet the food-loving Kadam family. During a night of political unrest, their restaurant is torched by a mob. They end up in France, where, driving along, their brakes fail and they tumble into Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val. Family patriarch Papa (Puri) decides this is where they’ll open their new restaurant, Maison Mumbai. Only one problem: Across the street is the Michelinstarred Le Saule Pleureur, run by Madame Mallory, for whom the word “prickly” seems too mellow. The movie’s main plot development will be the gradual unsnootening (that may not be a word) of Mme. Mallory. Just as clear: The battle between her and Papa will soften into something much sweeter. It will be a pleasurable two hours – though lacking, cinematically, in a key ingredient: A little spice.

MOVIES Donatello from “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” Photo provided

MADE-OVER ‘TURTLES’ RETURN IN A REBOOT By JUSTIN LOWE The Hollywood Reporter Rebooting the popular franchise after Paramount acquired the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle” rights, producer Michael Bay and director Jonathan Liebesman have taken on a full recap of the turtle’s origin story and their epic conflict with the dastardly Foot Clan crime syndicate. As a late-summer entry, “Turtles” could see some moderately enthusiastic if somewhat unpredictable response from the film’s target audience, since many of the series’ fans may have moved on in the seven years since the last outing. The newest addition to the series opens with New York City lifestyle TV reporter April O’Neil (Megan Fox) looking to get a lead on some hard news, but her boss Bernadette (Whoopi Goldberg) couldn’t be less interested and even her regular cameraman Vern (Will Arnett) isn’t sure she has what it takes. When April witnesses a stealth vigilante attacking Clan goons one dark night, she stumbles upon the story of her career, tracking down a quartet of 6-foot-tall, mutated talking turtles with lethal ninja fighting skills. Named after four Renaissance artists, teenaged Raphael (Alan Ritchson), Michelangelo (Noel Fisher), Leonardo (Pete Ploszek) and Donatello (Jeremy Howard) make their home in the city’s sewer system with the sagacious rat known as Splinter (Danny Woodburn). Technically still in training, the turtles are unprepared to take on the Foot Clan fighters and their fearsome leader Shredder, but their interference with his crimi-

“TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES” STARRING: Megan Fox, Will Arnett, William Fichtner PLOT: Darkness has settled over New York City as Shredder and his evil Foot Clan have an iron grip on everything from the police to the politicians. RATED: PG-13 for sci-fi action violence RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 41 minutes nal network has made them targets. Screenwriters Josh Appelbaum, Andre Nemec and Evan Daugherty devote a substantial amount of time setting up April’s investigation, which provokes a frustrating delay before the turtles finally appear onscreen. Extensive use of flashbacks that reveal her lifelong connection with the mutants also have a dilatory effect, but keep the humor pitched at an appropriately juvenile level. Not much of that easygoing style rubs off on the human characters, but the cast members portraying Splinter and the turtles achieve a persuasive level of realism. Liebesman relies on his genre-film resumé to keep events moving at a brisk clip, and the motion-capture process looks superior onscreen, sharply and smoothly rendering some thrilling action scenes and delivering impactful 3D character detail. However, the drawnout 101-minute running time and the nonstop cartoonish violence may deter some would-be fans.

Cowabunga, dude! Dress like a ninja, visit Volo free NORTHWEST HERALD VOLO – It’s been 14 years since the heroes in a half shell hit the big screen in a live-action feature, and excitement for the Aug. 8 release continues to build. “There’s something about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that just grabs people,” said Brian Grams, Volo Auto Museum director. “I heard the audience at a special preview at the Comic-Con in San Diego went nuts for it.” The Nickelodeon film produced by Michael Bay features heavy Hollywood hitters Megan Fox, Will Arnett, William Fichtner and Whoopi Goldberg, among others. “Not everyone can go to San Diego for Comic-Con, but we want our visitors and fans to get in on the fun,” said Grams, adding that on the film’s opening weekend, Aug. 8-10, any museum guest dressed like a ninja will be admitted free. Yes, that’s anyone, of any age. “TMNT is not just a kids’ thing,” Grams said. “I’m 38, and they were around when I was a kid; adults can get in on the fun of their childhood, too.” So, why run a special in conjunction with the Teenage

Mutant Ninja Turtles? Well, because among Volo’s many Hollywood and Star Cars is a particular 1957 four-cylinder, four-speed Volkswagen van specially modified by Hall of Famer and Guinness World Record Holder Jay Ohrberg for Mattel. “It has a turtle-shell roof, an exposed chromed engine under ‘Pizza Power’ lettering, fold-down windshield armor and a bunch of other props,” Grams said of Volo’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vehicle. “The van is a life-sized, functional version of a toy. It was used globally to promote Mattel’s toy line, and it is an absolute fan favorite with the kids. “We hope families will take us up on it,” he continued. “Dress like ninjas, get in free – and don’t forget to snap pictures in front of the van.” The Volo Auto Museum, 27582 Volo Village Road, is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. The museum features about 400 classic, antique, muscle and Hollywood cars. Regular admission is $13.95 for adults, $8.95 for children ages 5 to 12 and free for children 4 and younger. Information: www. volocars.com, 815-385-3644 or find Volo Auto Museum on Facebook.
