How Crystal Lake D-155 superintendent’s credit card spending stacks up By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – From a $2,000 tab at Emeril’s in New Orleans to costly stays in San Diego, the business of education has become expensive for superintendent perks. In a comparison of three similar-sized high school districts, including Community High School District 155, superintendent credit card spending came in at the $20,000 range at each district during 2013-14. Leyden High School District 212 led the way at $25,543.14, District 155 was second at $22,745.71 and Glenbard High School District 87 was third at $18,612.87, which does not include June 2014 numbers that would have pushed the total to more than $20,000. David Larson, superintendent of District 87, said in his 16 years of serving as superintendent for multiple districts the costs of the position have increased. National conferences have become larger and more expensive to participate in as evidenced by the National School Board Association’s annual conference in New Orleans this past spring. As conferences are hosted in pricier hotels, it is important to have a system in place to keep spending in check, Larson said. “You have to have a second and third set of eyes looking regularly at expenses,” Larson said. “If someone is out of bounds, they may not realize it. It’s the organization’s moral compass that has to kick in and have a mechanism in place to let [a superintendent] know if something isn’t covered and should be reimbursed.” The responsibility can come

with a learning curve as each district is different. Johnnie Thomas, who will enter his third year as District 155 superintendent, said different districts use the card in different ways. At District 155, official business with board members is covered on the card, which is usual in many districts, he said. But because the card is tied into accounts that are part of budgeted expenses each year, Thomas said there are internal controls that limit the spending. Deciding which conferences to attend, such as a national certification program in San Diego, and which to pass on becomes the difficulty. “A lot of the costs are truly determined by the conference, so there is a little less control on our end,” Thomas said. “There are tons of conferences we have to pass over.” While conferences set the hotels and locations of events, government watchdog groups say potential for abuse still exists. Hundreds and thousands of dollars can be spent on meals or gas, and it can get tricky to determine what is appropriate and not. On District 155’s statements, examples of more than $100 spent at Panera Bread to $7 spent at McDonalds can be found, with the latter perhaps the more concerning. “It goes without saying that transparency is critical with credit card statements available to the public and press for scrutiny,” said Andy Shaw, president and CEO of the Better Government Association. “Our position is there should be as few of these cards – p-cards included – as possible, to limit potential problems.”

WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Board of Health chose an El Paso, Texas, health professional to lead the county’s department. Board members voted Monday evening to hire Michael Hill as the next public health administrator. He will assume the job in October and replace Patrick McNulty, who retired at the end of May after 35 years with the department, 13 of them as administrator. Hill is presently the executive director of the Pasa Del Norte Health Information Exchange, a nonprofit agency that connects information systems and records for area hospitals. Before that, Hill served as the CEO of the Texas Association of Local Health Officials, and spent more than four years as the public health director for El Paso, population 674,000. He said he looks forward to the challenge and to build on the department’s strengths.

He beat out 11 other finalists drawn from a pool of 55 applicants. “We’re doing pretty good. How can we get from pretty good to excellent, and make sure we’re doing what the [board of health] needs us to do?” Hill said. The health department oversees a $7 million budget – a balance of grants, local taxes and fees – and 135 full-time-equivalent employees, according to its 2013 annual report. Its responsibilities include restaurant inspections, animal control, monitoring disease outbreaks, health education and administering the federal Women, Infants and Children nutrition assistance program. Hill’s starting salary will be $135,000, according to the health department. While he will get four weeks of vacation, his contract is in line with other county employees and will not allow him to roll them over without limit.

NFL domestic violence policy a matter of ‘respect’ As a fan of the National Football League, I’m more than familiar with the concept of “respect.” It’s a term thrown around by players and commentators almost as much as the ball is in a game between the Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots. Coaches want it. Players demand it. Yet, from the looks of things, the league finally is taking a much-needed step toward extending that “respect” to women. Better now than never. In case you missed it, the league recently toughened its policy toward employees who are accused of domestic violence. It also seeks to increase awareness of domestic violence and sexual assault through outreach programs and public service initiatives. Too bad it took a terrible misstep by league Commissioner Roger Goodell to bring it about. Perhaps the commish wasn’t prepared for the backlash he received when he handed down a two-game

suspension to Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice, who was seen in a video dragging his unconscious fiancée from an elevator. A new video released Monday, showing Rice throwing a punch in the moments before, underscores how wrong Goodell was. Now the Ravens have terminated Rice’s contract and the league has suspended Rice indefinitely. Many considered the initial punishment too lenient, pointing to suspensions of far greater duration for nonviolent offenses. To his credit, Goodell acknowledged his mistake. “I didn’t get it right,” Goodell wrote in a letter sent to each NFL owner. “Simply put, we have to do better. And we will.”

Like it or not, professional athletes and those connected with professional sports must be held to a high standard of conduct, both on and off the field. And like it or not, they are role models and tone-setters. So it’s commendable that the NFL is taking a stand against domestic violence. “Domestic violence and sexual assault are wrong,” Goodell wrote in the letter to owners. “They are illegal. They have no place in the NFL and are unacceptable in any way, under any circumstances.” Under the new policy, first offenders will be subject to a six-week suspension without pay. More severe discipline is possible if there are mitigating circumstances, such as “the presence or use of a weapon, choking, repeated striking or, when the act is committed against a pregnant woman or in the presence of a child.” A second offense will bring a league ban, although the offender can petition for reinstatement after a year.

Domestic violence and sexual assault cannot be tolerated. That’s the message. And it’s a good one. It is a matter of “respect.” In theory, players and other NFL employees should be able to understand that. Now comes the hard part: enforcement. Will the league be fair to players and still live up to the spirit of the new policy? Will players and their union get behind it? Will the new education and awareness components make a difference? Sadly, there already are a couple of new cases in the few days since the league issued the new policy. The new policy will get its first tests. Only time will tell how this all will play out. But it’s a start.

LOCAL BRIEFS Two found dead in Fox Lake apartment FOX LAKE – A man and a woman in their 20s died of gunshot wounds inside a Fox Lake apartment Tuesday morning, the Lake County Major Crime Task Force said. The task force is withholding the findings from its investigation and the identities of both people until the Lake County Coroner’s Office completes the autopsies Wednesday morning, said Task Force Commander George Filenko. Fox Lake police were called at 10:30 a.m. to 305 Devlin Road, after the two were found dead inside an apartment. Filenko said it was an isolated incident. “We are going to find out what happens after the autopsy tomorrow,” Filenko said. “There is no threat to the community.” The apartment is within the Timber Oaks complex along Route 59, near the border of Fox Lake and Ingleside.

Residents invited to apply for temporary position on board of trustees By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The McHenry County College Board of Trustees is looking for a temporary replacement for former member Tom Wilbeck after he was required to resign for moving out of district boundaries. College officials have issued an open invitation for district residents to apply for the va-

cancy that would require the person to serve until the April 2015 election. The temporary seat holder could then run for a full term if interested. Requirements for the candidate include being a U.S. citizen, residing within district boundaries and being at least 18 years old. People living in most of the elementary and high school districts in McHenry County would be within McHenry County Col-

lege boundaries, but a detailed listing is available at www. mchenry.edu/residency. Those interested must submit a cover letter, resume and answer questions, such as why they are interested in the position and what they hope to accomplish and the relevant experience they would bring. The application deadline is 5 p.m. Sept. 18. Applications can be mailed to the McHenry County College – Office of

the President and can be addressed to Pat Kriegermeier. The college is located at 8900 Route 14, Crystal Lake. Applications also can be emailed to pkriegermeier@mchenry.edu. After the application deadline, the board will meet to select a group of individuals to interview and select a final candidate to vote in.

ALGONQUIN – Village Board members signaled their support for a resolution to urge the County Board to build a conventional intersection at Randall and Algonquin roads. The Algonquin Committee of the Whole on Tuesday agreed to move the resolution forward to its next Village Board meeting, scheduled for Sept. 16. The county’s transportation committee last week recommended a conventional intersection, rather than the controversial continuous flow intersection. The County Board is scheduled to discuss the intersection at its Sept. 16 meeting. Improvements at Randall and Algonquin are part of the planned widening of Randall Road from Ackman Road to County Line Road. In 2012, the Lake in the Hills board adopted a resolution opposing a continuous flow intersection, and has remained vehemently against the idea because a CFI would require closing many access points to businesses at the intersection. The Randall Road corridor is where about 75 percent of Lake in the Hills’ sales tax revenue comes from. Algonquin Village Board President John Schmitt and Lake in the Hills Village

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com MARENGO – A national traveling circus rolled into Marengo on Tuesday with elephants, camels and zebras and drew a small crowd of local activists protesting the ways circuses treat the animals. Holding a sign that read “elephants are abused,” JoAnne Younger and about 14 other residents stood near the front entrance of the Marengo Park District to spotlight animal

rights, as cars passed through to the early show of the Kelly Miller Circus, a Oklahoma-based animal circus that says it complies with all animal welfare laws. Backed by animal rights group PETA, Younger said the peaceful protest was meant to expose the neglectful and harmful ways all circuses use to train and transport animals naturally accustomed to living in the wild. “Wild animals belong in the wild,” said Younger, a Maren-

go resident who organized the protest. “There’s no humane way to train them. They train them by instilling them with fear through tools, such as the bull hook on their elephants to make them do what they want to do.” Coming off a Monday stop at Round Lake Beach, the Kelly Miller Circus brought the wildlife and pitched the circus tent to perform two shows Tuesday evening at the Marengo Park District.

expenses.” Pricey superintendent credit card bills are not exclusive to high school districts. At Crystal Lake District 47, superintendent Kathy Hinz spent $20,973.55. The majority of costs came in supplies because unlike other districts, department heads did not have access to procurement cards. Hinz also was responsible for purchasing supplies for

special education operations. District 47 issued more procurement cards to department heads recently to help expedite the purchasing process. “The purpose of having procurement [credit] cards is to make additional purchasing options available to the district from vendors such as Amazon that do not accept purchase orders,” Hinz said. “[It] can result in a significant savings for the district.”

Circus was last cited for violation in 2012 • PROTEST Continued from page A3 are a gift. We have a huge responsibility to care for animals and to live among animals.” But Kelly Miller and other animal circuses usually fail at delivering proper care, said Lindsay Rajt, PETA associate director for campaigns. Between 2005 and 2012, the U.S. Department of Agriculture cited Kelly Miller a half dozen times for failing to meet federal animal care standards. Kelly Miller hasn’t been cited since 2012, according to PETA.

Kelly Miller’s sister circus, Carson and Barnes, has numerous USDA violations over the past decade and paid an undisclosed penalty in 2012 to settle 10 animal welfare violations, Rajt said. Moss said he couldn’t speak specifically toward the violations, adding that Kelly Miller complies with all USDA regulations. “They are all our livelihood and a part of our circus family,” Moss said. “We would not want them jeopardized or abused in any way.” Circus trainers generally are known to use electric rods and bull hooks, which resemble fireplace pokers, to train and control circus ani-

mals, Rajt said. The national animal rights group not only supplies local protesters with signs and leaflets for circus events but also works to get behind-thescenes training footage to raise awareness about animal abuse, she said. “People are shocked when they find out circuses that use elephants beat them and use electric rods to get them to perform. People are shocked that they will tear baby elephants away from their mothers at a young age to train them,” Rajt said. “We want to put information into people’s hands, so that they can make an informed decision.”

working toward doctorate • LEADER Continued from page A1 The health board drew criticism from the County Board when members learned that McNulty was exempted from policies implemented in 2006 that curtailed the practice, and cashed out 645 hours of unused vacation time totaling $47,479. County Board member Donna Kurtz, who holds the board’s voting seat on the health board, said members thoroughly vetted the contract to ensure that Hill’s benefits did not exceed what is available to other county department heads. The makeup of the 12-member Board of Health has almost completely changed since the exemption was granted to McNulty. Kurtz, R-Crystal Lake, said the board chose Hill because he would “both lead and manage and promote change.” “We understand that the landscape of what public

health provides is changing dramatically. One, because of the governmental regulatory environment, but also because of the health needs of the community – we need someone who would be able to make sure that the framework of public health continues to be modified and adapt to what we’re going to face in McHenry County,” Kurtz said. Among Hill’s challenges will be moving from the climate of El Paso to that of northern Illinois. “I’m excited to work with the health department and the board,” Hill said. “I’m a bit skeptical about the wintertime, but I think I’ll be fine.” His contract also covers travel to find a home and moving expenses, and $400 a month for a vehicle allowance. It includes an out clause of six months’ severance pay and insurance coverage. Hill has masters’ degrees in public administration and public health, and is working toward a doctorate in health administration.

Revised projections used for updated designs • RANDALL Continued from page A3 Board President Paul Mulcahy submitted a joint letter opposing a continuous flow intersection. The plan recommended by the county transportation committee would add third left-turn lanes on Algonquin Road and second left-turn lanes on Randall Road. It also would eliminate several curb cuts near the intersection and limit several retail exit points to right-in, right-out, but allow left-hand turns at others at the request of area businesses.

TranSystems, which was hired by the county to conduct engineering for the project, used revised growth projections for the updated designs. The company also met with business owners about the improvements. “Everybody along Randall Road said, ‘We’re dying. We need better traffic,’ ” Schmitt said. Schmitt added the road improvement is important for the local economy. “We’ve all got a lot of vacancies,” Schmitt said. “We’re never going to get those filled back or keep them filled up, and build new businesses unless Randall Road is improved.”

The wait times with either intersection configuration would meet acceptable levels in order to compete for federal and state funding for the project, said Village Manager Tim Schloneger. “With the updated numbers and the modifications we can get funding for a conventional intersection now because it’s under the acceptable level, except on Saturdays. … We have to go back and argue that these numbers are just as good,” Schloneger said. “We feel we can make that argument, especially with the support of our board and the Lake in the Hills board.”

McHENRY

SUE ESQUIVEL

RICHARD J. FONTECCHIO

Sue Esquivel, of Mesa Arizona, died with family surrounding her in the early morning of September 1st after a long hard battle with cancer. She was in her late 70’s. Born in the suburbs of Chicago in the late 1930’s, Sue was the eldest of five siblings and was an important part of their care. She learned the value of hard work, what it took to create a loving, supportive environment and was always there for her family, a philosophy that followed her throughout life. She met her future ex-husband, Heraldo (Alex) Esquivel while working at a suburban Chicago restaurant. They married in the late 60’s and settled in Crystal Lake, Illinois. They had two sons, Steven and Daniel, whom she adored. Sue raised the boys on her own after their marriage ended. As a working, single mother she put her sons successfully through college . This was important to her as she didn’t finish school herself. She also wanted a piece of the American Dream, to own a home. At 61 years old, she accomplished that goal and bought her first and only home in Mesa Arizona, where she “retired”. Sue’s defining characteristic was her love and enjoyment of people. She would talk to anyone - and they wanted to talk back. During her last years, Sue found a vocation, caring for kids in an afterschool program. She gave and received hugs frequently. Sue was one of a kind, a rare soul who loved others without judgment. She loved life and didn’t have time to worry about the negative. She touched so many people throughout her life and we are all better for having known her. Her sons, who miss her terribly, certainly think so. A private memorial gathering will be held with family and friends at her home in Arizona. A memorial website, suzannemesquivel.info, will be available to share memories. Sue is survived by her two sons, Steven (Laura) and Daniel; two grandsons - Martin and Kevin; her siblings, Karen Harrison, Philip (Val) Gusinde, Joan (Joseph) Ritacca and Paul (Kerry) Gusinde.

In 1985 he co-founded HydraForce, Inc. in Lincolnshire, which grew to become a global enterprise with additional manufacturing plants in England and China. Dick enjoyed golfing, traveling, fishing with his daughter and spending time with his family and close friends. He is survived by his wife, Carol A. nee Sloan, whom he married on November 8, 1986 in Long Grove; a daughter, Andrea Jeanne Fontecchio; his mother, Helen Elizabeth (nee Barsh) Fontecchio; siblings, Jerry (Mary) Fontecchio, Jane (David) Bates, and David (Elizabeth) Fontecchio; and nieces and nephews, Jennifer Fontecchio, Ryan and Alan Bates, and Michael, Ana, and Isabella Fontecchio.

Defenders to host recycling drive NORTHWEST HERALD McHENRY – A recycling drive is planned in McHenry on Saturday. The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County will be collecting fluorescent tubes, polystyrene foam like Styrofoam, electronics, VHS and cassette tapes, DVDs, CDs, packing peanuts, unpopped bubble wrap and batteries from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday at the Metra Station parking lot, 4005 Main St. Many of the items collected are not usually accepted in

curbside programs and can be harmful to the environment if put in a landfill, according to news release. Because it often costs money to recycle these items, the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County also is accepting donations. TVs and computer monitors will be accepted for a donation of $10 to $35. New members at the basic or higher level of the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County get two coupons to recycle a television or monitor for free. Other electronics drop-off

sites are available at Algonquin Township Road District in Crystal Lake, Computer Recycling Center in Crystal Lake, and Lakewood’s dropoff site at 6570 Haligus Road. Polystyrene foam can be dropped off any time at the Lakewood Village Hall or the Lakewood Public Works building on Haligus Road. USAgain Clothes Collection System will be providing a truck to accept any kind of cloth items, including clothing, linens or rags. Items should be clean and bagged. They also will accept shoes, tied together by their

laces and placed in the bag. Aluminum cans also are accepted at recycling drives, but the Defenders will no longer be paying for them. The donation will help fund educational and advocacy programs. Defenders recycling drives are held monthly on the second Saturday, alternating between McHenry in odd-numbered months and Woodstock in even-numbered months. For information about the recycling schedule and types of materials accepted, visit the Defenders’ website at www.mcdef.org.

The driver’s identity is being withheld until the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office approves all criminal charges, police said. Police were dispatched to the area at 9:08 p.m. McHenry firefighters also responded to provide treatment. Crystal Lake Road, between

Hanley Street and Mill Street, remained close late Tuesday evening, as authorities continued to investigate the scene. The Critical Accident Investigation Team, which includes police from McHenry, Johnsburg and Spring Grove, are assisting with the investigation.

McLean, (nee Hundley), age 92, was a resident of Crystal Lake, IL and formerly of Wauconda, IL and Columbus, WI. Helen was the beloved wife of the late Leslie; loving mother of Leslie R. III (Linda) and David (Deborah); cherished grandmother of Dori (Ross) Logerquist, Andrew (Jess), Jennifer (Steve) Becker and Evan; proud great grandmother of Seth, Sam, Isabelle and Avery; dear sister of Russell (Laura) Hundley, Rachel (Elton) Ott and Carol Peck.

Born and raised on a farm in Columbus, WI, Helen was a true native daughter, who loved red bud trees and cardinals. She graduated from Columbus High School with the class of 1940. Following graduation, she worked several administrative jobs in the local area. An adventuresome type, she and a girlfriend, obtained positions with the U.S. civil service in 1948. They were assigned to the U.S. Army Air Force base (USAAFB) on the remote Pacific Island of Guam. It was there she met her future husband, Leslie McLean of New York, a sergeant in the USAAF. During her husband’s career, she and her family were stationed at bases in Hawaii, Georgia, Virginia and Illinois. Helen was a very dedicated mother, volunteering for several activities while her sons were growing up. These included Cub Scout pack leader, Sunday school teacher, PTA committees and grade school chaperone for class parties and field trips. She returned to work for the civil service at Chicago’s O’Hare airport military complex when her sons entered junior high school in the early 1960’s. She retired from civil service after a long and distinguished career following the death of her husband in 1975, eventually returning to Columbus to live. During her retirement, she traveled often visiting China and several European countries. In the fall of each year, she would travel to New England to visit friends. Her devotion to family continued with her being very active and supportive in the lives of her grandchildren. A devout Christian, she strove to be charitable to all. She will be dearly missed.

SKETCH VIEW

Attacks are frequent, not always fair If you were in a college-level entrepreneurship class with an interest in starting your own business one day, would you want access to someone who had made millions of dollars as an investor? Of course you would. No doubt you also would want the person speaking to your class to deliver honest answers about how investors evaluate businesses when they are considering buying a stake in them. For the record That’s what Republican candiAs the race for Illinois date for governor governor heats up, we’re going Bruce Rauner did to hear more of these kind of for students at attacks as the candidates seek Northern Illinois to define their opponents. University last week, although he’s now been attacked for his comments by at least one political action committee. The attack hardly seems fair, however. Rauner made millions with the venture capital firm GTCR before he retired in 2012. The firm also managed public pension funds and private equity funds. While speaking to college students about his career, a student in the class asked Rauner about “red flags” that might scare off venture capitalists. In his answer, Rauner said red flags for him included businesses whose incomes were highly seasonal, cash-based businesses, businesses in industries with low barriers to entry, and small “mom-and-pop” businesses. A story in our sister paper, the Daily Chronicle, summarized that lengthy answer, citing small businesses and cash-based businesses among the “red flag” examples. The Illinois Freedom PAC, a public employee union-backed group also supported by the Democratic Governors’ Association, pounced on those comments Monday. “This is part and parcel of Bruce Rauner’s attitudes,” Illinois Freedom spokesman Neal Waltmire said. “It’s the Wall Street, make a profit at any cost attitude.” Well, it’s certainly reflective of his attitude as a venture capitalist, a pursuit in which he’s been very successful, according to his income tax returns. Rauner’s also a candidate who wants to reduce taxes on businesses and individuals, which doesn’t suggest that he’s anti-business, no matter whether it is large or small. As the race for Illinois governor heats up between Rauner and incumbent Gov. Pat Quinn (and a Libertarian candidate in Chad Grimm), we’re going to hear more of these kind of attacks as the candidates seek to define their opponents. It’s important to remember, though, that they will have varying degrees of credibility.

ANOTHER VIEW

Politicization of an indictment Those who believe that the indictment of Gov. Rick Perry could result in the criminalization of politics voice a legitimate concern. There is, however, another cause for worry. It lies in the reaction to the indictment, amounting to the politicization of a criminal indictment. Perry was indicted by a Travis County grand jury for abuse of official capacity and coercion of a public servant. Both charges stem from his veto of funding for the Travis County district attorney’s Public Integrity Unit. This came after that Democratic DA – Rosemary Lehmberg – refused to resign after a DWI conviction. After the indictment, Perry said, “We don’t settle political differences with indictments.” He also said, “This farce of a prosecution will be revealed for what it is, and ... those responsible will be held accountable.” Supporters essentially have alleged a Democratic plot to damage a popular GOP governor who is pursuing a presidential bid. There’s a big problem with this claim. It’s highly unlikely to be true. The special prosecutor, Michael McCrum, is a former cop who was nominated by President Barack Obama to be U.S. attorney in San Antonio, backed by the state’s two Republican senators at the time. He withdrew because of the congressional morass over nominations. Those who know him say he is not swayed by partisanship. Bert Richardson, the judge who named him, was appointed by a Republican president. And the special prosecutor is independent of the Travis County DA’s office, in any case. Texans for Public Justice, a watchdog group that has been critical of the governor, forced the issue with its complaint. But a special prosecutor independent of the DA still had to convince a grand jury based on law, not politics. Absent more evidence, we believe McCrum and the grand jury to be in error on whether Perry crossed a legal line. But we don’t believe politics was the motivation for McCrum, Richardson or the grand jury. San Antonio Express-News

AMENDMENT

IT’S YOUR WRITE Oberweis right for Illinois To the Editor: By almost every economic measure, Illinois falls next to last among our 50 states. Businesses and people leaving Illinois for a better living continue to demonstrate the need and demand for positive change. Illinois is not competitive and recently has been categorized nationally as a sinkhole state. Our current U.S. senator supports more spending and more taxes as necessary for government to do more, when what is really needed are sound fiscal policies with proven results. We applaud Dick Durbin for his participation in helping to bring Digital Lab to Chicago, but one home run does not win the game, and certainly is not enough to boost our economy or return us to work when too many businesses and jobs already have left and will continue to leave Illinois. We need the experience of a successful businessman bringing proven policies that will achieve the growth goals needed in Illinois and across America. Jim Oberweis

has the experience, the know-how and the plan to make things work better for us all. We only need to let him come to bat for us. Support Jim Oberweis now and with your votes in November. Jim Nelson Huntley

Finish construction project To the Editor: I had to chuckle Sunday morning when I read about the ongoing construction of Routes 31 and 176. We live right in the middle of it all. Our little, two-street subdivision is off Route 31, north of Crystal Lake Avenue and south of Route 176. The only way in and out is off Route 31. From my street, Strong Road, you can only turn right. If you want to go left, you have to use the next street over, and good luck getting into the lane. One out of 10 drivers will let you in. I work at Goodwill, next to WalMart. My daily commute takes all of three to five minutes. One day last week, I left work at 3:15 p.m. and walked in my door at 4:02 p.m. Really? I was almost at the light at

Time to retire Franks To the Editor: Ever wonder why you never see an Illinois Choose Life license plate? It’s because state Rep. Jack

is 5 p.m. Oct. 29. All letters are subject to editing for length and clarity at the sole discretion of the editor. Submit letters by: • Email: letters@nwherald.com • Mail: Northwest Herald “It’s Your Write” Box 250 Crystal Lake, IL 60039-0250

Franks has buried the required legislation in a subcommittee in the House of Representatives. Even though Choose Life America Inc., a nonprofit, has been successful in getting 30 states to enact the laws supporting these plates and generated more than $19 million for maternity homes, pregnancy centers and nonprofit adoption agencies, Illinois drivers still are waiting to purchase these plates. Steve Reick will fight to overcome the Franks/Michael Madigan stranglehold on the Illinois House. It’s time to retire Franks. Philip L. Weyna Crystal Lake

McDonnell trial lesson: Corruption is bipartisan The soap opera that played out in Richmond these last weeks and ended with the convictions of former Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, on multiple counts of fraud and conspiracy charges is a tragedy for them, their children and the voters of Virginia. By most objective standards, McDonnell did a good job as governor. He took a deficit left by his predecessor and turned it into a surplus without raising taxes or cutting essential services. But a jury found that he and his wife also served themselves, using his office to get sweetheart loans and other favors in exchange for access and the promotion of a commercial product by their benefactor, Jonnie Williams, who avoided indictment by testifying for the prosecution. Some pundits rightly have noted that a man who preaches about strong families and honesty should be expected to live by those standards. Even so, there is a double standard in politics that often allows those who have engaged in similar or worse behavior not only to escape prosecution but to win re-election. The McDonnells might have benefited from recalling Sherman Adams, President Dwight Eisenhower’s chief of staff. Adams was accused of accepting a

VIEWS Cal Thomas vicuna coat along with gifts and loans from businessman Bernard Goldfine. Adams acknowledged that he had conferred with the Federal Trade Commission and Securities and Exchange Commission about Goldfine’s trouble with those agencies. Adams eventually resigned, but it was Goldfine who later was convicted of tax evasion, fined $110,000 and served one year in prison. Little has changed since then because human nature doesn’t change. Corruption is bipartisan. See Judicial Watch’s list of “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians” (http://shawurl. com/1egn). The modern gold standard for selling one’s office belongs to former President Bill Clinton. As “NBC Nightly News” anchor Tom Brokaw noted on a Feb. 25, 1997, broadcast: “1600 Pennsylvania Avenue turned out to be the most expensive bed and breakfast in North America.” A sound bite showed President Clinton denying the Lincoln bedroom had been “sold.” Correspondent Jim Miklaszewski said in his report: “White House documents, some in the

president’s own handwriting, indicate the Lincoln bedroom was at least on the market to major political donors. Under increasing public pressure, the White House released the names of 958 visitors who slept at the White House during Clinton’s first term. Most were family friends, but many were major political contributors, like computer magnate Steve Jobs, who gave $150,000; and Hollywood producer Steven Spielberg, $200,000. “But the most potentially damaging revelation came unexpectedly from former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Harold Ickes. Under threat of subpoena, he turned over some 500 pages of documents pertaining to Democratic fundraising to the House Oversight Committee. The documents appear to support allegations the Democrats turned the Clinton White House into a political fundraising machine. In one 1995 memo, Democratic Finance Chairman Terry McAuliffe (McDonnell’s successor as Virginia governor) recommends the president meet with major supporters for ‘breakfast, lunch or coffee’ to ‘energize them for the upcoming year.’ “President Clinton himself wrote back, ‘Yes, pursue all three, and promptly, and get other names at 100,000 or more, 50,000 or more.’ The president

added, ‘ready to start overnights right away.’ And in a 1996 memo, Clinton campaign chairman Peter Knight tells the White House that Democrats expect to raise $350,000 from just one White House coffee with the president. As bad as it may look, White House spokesman Mike McCurry insists it’s still all perfectly legal.” If so, perhaps The Hatch Act and related federal statutes aimed at preventing corruption need strengthening. Visit www.crewsmostcorrupt.org/mostcorrupt at the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington website for one organization’s opinion about some other politicians who have (so far) escaped prosecution for behavior that is in some cases worse than the McDonnells’. None of this is to excuse what the McDonnells are convicted of having done (they will appeal), but only to offer some perspective. As the joke goes: If there was no double standard, some politicians would have no standards at all. • Cal Thomas’ latest book is “What Works: Common Sense Solutions for a Stronger America” is available in bookstores now.

Hearing Loss Linked to Increased Risk of Dementia New Johns Hopkins studies show hearing loss more prevalent and linked to dementia Shawn Burnham • H.I.S. Hearing Instrument Specialist

ave you ever avoided a social gathering because you were afraid of feeling lost in the conversation? Have you felt exhausted after straining to hear in a dificult listening situation, and kept away from people for a while afterward? If so, you may be experiencing the social isolation common to hearing loss and recently identiied as a possible factor in the development of dementia. “Researchers have looked at what affects hearing loss, but few have looked at how hearing loss affects cognitive brain function,” says study leader Frank Lin, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor in the Division of Otology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Lin and his team used studied over 600 volunteers whose hearing and cognitive abilities were tested as part of a longterm multidimensional study called the Baltimore Longitudinal Study on Aging (BLSA) established in 1958. About a quarter of the volunteers had hearing loss at the start of the study, but none of them had dementia. Participants were closely followed with repeat exams every year or two for nearly 20 years. Researchers found that those who had hearing loss at the beginning of the study were signiicantly more likely to develop dementia by the end. Of those participants who started with hearing loss, 36% developed dementia over the course of the study. “Compared to individuals with normal hearing, those individuals with a mild, moderate, and severe hearing loss, respectively, had a 2-, 3- and 5-fold increased risk of developing dementia over the course of the study,” reports Dr. Lin. In a separate study, Johns Hopkins reported that the hearing loss rate in older adults has climbed to more than 60 percent in a national survey. “A lot of people ignore hearing loss because it’s such a slow and insidious

Download the full study at www.accuquest.com/dementia

process as we age,” Lin says. “Even if people feel as if they are not affected, we’re showing that it may well be a more serious problem.” Further research is needed to determine the exact reasons why dementia and hearing loss are connected. However, one possibility proposed in the study is that dementia may result in part from the social isolation inherent in hearing loss, which is a known risk factor for this and other cognitive disorders. I don’t mean to scare you, but this study scared me. At the very least, it conirms the need to maintain your hearing health. Hearing loss can happen so gradually it is hard to detect on your own. Regular hearing checks can help you identify loss early, and early is the key. If caught in time, intervention— like hearing aids—may help to delay or even prevent cognitive dificulties. Perhaps more to the point, hearing aids can help you can hear and understand the conversations that matter most to you right now. Hearing aids have come a long way in the last few years. These modern devices are so discreet you won’t need to worry about what others might think. They’ll only know that you’re hearing and understanding better. State of the art technology also allows hearing aids to do more than ever before. Advanced feedback cancellation and speech preservation features are designed to provide a more natural listening experience and better comprehension. Most models also come with multiple channels that you can program for speciic listening environments. So, if you eat out a lot, you can program your hearing aids with settings that will help reduce the background noise and focus on conversations in front of you. The bottom line is this: hearing aids can help to prevent hearing loss from robbing you of the things you value most—your connection to those you love. Please take steps to make sure your hearing is in good health. Make an appointment with a qualiied hearing professional today.

Ill. data show fewer motorcycle fatalities The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – Motorcycle fatalities have decreased by nearly 30 percent so far in 2014, according to Illinois Department of Transportation data. Sixty motorcycle riders were killed between January and July of this year, data show, compared to 84 fatalities during the same time period in 2013. Three people died in motorcycle accidents in Sangamon County from January to July in both 2014 and 2013. Only one

person was killed in Macon County during the first seven months of the year, compared to three last year. But Morgan County has seen the most significant decrease in the area, according to the data. Five people died in motorcycle crashes in 2013, and no one has been killed this year. Bob Myers, legislative coordinator for a motorcyclist rights group, told The State Journal-Register that any number of fatalities is “more than any of us want.”

He said people also should look at the number of registered motorcycles on the road, instead of only paying attention to the number of riders killed. Data from the Illinois Secretary of State’s office show slightly fewer motorcyclists on Illinois roads this year. There were 360,188 registered bikes on the road this year, down from 360,883 last year. “It’s an inherently dangerous recreation for some people,” Myers said. “But for some people it’s our main mode of transportation. We assume

those risks.” Increasing speed limits on Illinois interstates to match those throughout the country makes roads safer for motorcyclists, according to Myers. A law that increased the speed limit on the state’s rural interstates went into effect earlier this year. “We didn’t jump out and lobby [the law] or anything, but we supported it,” Myers said. “All the states around us already have a 70 mph speed limit. We were in favor of equalizing the speed for all the vehicles.”

Professor who lost U of I job offer wants position By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press

adno=0286404

CHAMPAIGN – A professor who lost a job offer from the University of Illinois over dozens of sometimes-profane Twitter messages that critics deemed anti-Semitic demanded Tuesday that he be given the position and threatened to take legal action otherwise. Attorneys for Steven Salaita said during a news conference at a YMCA on the Urbana-Champaign campus that they believe the university’s Board of Trustees will make a decision on his hiring during a meeting scheduled Thursday. If he isn’t given the job, they said they’ll go to court to try to get an injunction to force the university to hire him. “My Twitter messages were no doubt passionate and unfiltered,” said Salaita, who was speaking publicly for the first time since he lost the job offer after he posted messages about Israeli military action in Gaza. Salaita accepted an offer in October 2013 to become a Native American Studies professor and was due to start in August 2014 before being told that

Students tape their mouths shut in support for Steven Salaita, a professor who lost a job offer from the University of Illinois over dozens of profane Twitter messages that critics deemed anti-Semitic, during a rally Tuesday at the University of Illinois campus in Champaign. same month that the offer was rescinded. “I had one foot in the door already,” Salaita said, adding that he didn’t regret posting the messages but regretted they’d led to “hurt feelings.” “I’d come to Champaign-Urbana twice already looking for housing, trying to get the move in order. ... My classes had already been assigned.”

Neither trustees Chairman Christopher Kennedy nor Urbana-Champaign campus Chancellor Phyllis Wise, who wrote Salaita on Aug. 1 to tell him he didn’t have a job, responded to requests for comment. But Robin Kaler, a spokeswoman for Wise, said the chancellor would not change her mind and that the university “stands by the decision not to

hire Professor Salaita.” “We remain devoted to fostering a campuswide dialogue on the most uncomfortable issues that are vital to our very foundation and will continue to work closely with our students, faculty and staff to nurture an environment where all issues, including the most complicated ones, can be discussed,” she said. Trustees are scheduled to meet Thursday in Urbana. The meeting agenda doesn’t reference Salaita but includes a closed-door executive session. Salaita wrote dozens of anti-Israel Twitter messages in July and August. Some were profane while others drew charges of anti-Semitism and other concerns from university students, parents and donors who emailed Wise. Trustees hadn’t approved Salaita’s hire, the final step before he would have been granted tenure, which likely would have protected his speech. Salaita’s defenders say that since many professors begin work before trustees have the chance to approve their hires, Salaita was already effectively employed.

STATE BRIEFS Terror plotter Padilla gets tenced Tuesday to 18 months in prison for stealing more than new 21-year sentence MIAMI – Convicted al-Qaida terrorism plotter Jose Padilla, a U.S. citizen jailed for years as an enemy combatant, was handed a new 21-year prison sentence Tuesday because an appeals court determined his previous 17-year term was too lenient. A jury found the Brooklyn-born Padilla guilty in 2007 on charges of supporting al-Qaida and terrorism conspiracy, which carried a possible life sentence. Evidence showed he attended an al-Qaida terrorist camp in Afghanistan before returning to the U.S. in May 2002 on what authorities originally claimed was a mission to detonate a radioactive “dirty bomb” in a major city. Those accusations were later discarded when the “mission” was deemed only a sketchy idea.

$650,000 from her suburban Chicago community and spending much of it at casinos, federal prosecutors said. Nancy Dobrowski pleaded guilty in May as part of a plea deal to wire fraud and filing false tax returns. She held the elected position of Burnham clerk for more than 30 years before she resigned last year. U.S. District Judge Charles Kocoras said Dobrowski committed “nine years of pillage” and ordered her to begin serving her sentence Oct. 21, prosecutors said. The judge ordered Dobrowski to pay nearly $914,000 in restitution – nearly $710,000 to the village of Burnham and about $204,000 to the Internal Revenue Service. The judge noted that Dobrowski is unable to pay the amount.

Cardinal George hopes to go to Rome in November

Officials: Cause of deadly Chicago fire unclear

CHICAGO – A new clinical trial of an experimental drug to treat cancer has left Cardinal Francis George feeling good, but not great, he said. The head of the Archdiocese of Chicago spoke to reporters Monday after blessing a newly expanded religious retirement center. George, 77, started the trial to treat a recurrence of cancer near his right kidney. He said the second installment will be Wednesday. “I’m feeling well enough, not great but not bad,” he said. “I think I’m doing all right but it’s hard to tell because I don’t know what to expect with the new treatment.”

CHICAGO – Investigators were unable to pinpoint the cause of a Chicago apartment fire that killed four children, although it likely came from an open flame in an apartment on the second floor, fire officials said Tuesday. The children died Monday when a fire that began shortly after 3 a.m. raced up a stairwell, trapping them in their bedrooms and forcing their mother and her boyfriend to leap from a third-story window, Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said. He told the Chicago SunTimes the fire was caused by an open flame in the living room of the second-floor apartment, but investigators were unable to find an exact source because the room had no stove, space heater or electrical line.

September Gay marriage debate likely headed to Supreme Court Hardwood Sale The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Both sides in the gay marriage debate agree on one thing: It’s time for the Supreme Court to settle the matter. Even a justice recently said she thinks so, too. The emerging consensus makes it likely the justices soon will agree to take up the question of whether the Constitution forbids states from defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman. A final ruling isn’t likely before June 2015, but a decision to get involved could come as soon as the end of this month. “I don’t see a lot of reasons for them to wait,” said Dale Carpenter, a gay rights expert at the University of Minnesota law school. “You have almost no one at this point opposed to certiorari,” the legal term for high court review. Officials in five states in which marriage bans were struck down by federal courts

have rushed their appeals to the Supreme Court, in time for consideration by the justices when they meet in private Sept. 29. Moving at breakneck speed, at least for the legal system, Indiana and Wisconsin filed appeals Tuesday, just five days after the federal appeals court in Chicago struck down their state bans. The Chicago decision itself came just nine days after judges heard arguments, extremely fast for a process that usually is measured in months. Officials in Oklahoma, Utah and Virginia also have appealed to the Supreme Court. Adding to the momentum, the winners in all those cases – who typically want to preserve their lower court victories and would normally oppose Supreme Court review – want the justices to weigh in. As expected, so do the losers. In all, 36 states, encompassing both those that allow same-sex marriage and those

that don’t, want the justices to join the fray. Thirty businesses, including Alcoa, Amazon, eBay, General Electric, Intel, Nike, Pfizer and Target, say the Supreme Court should extend same-sex marriage nationwide because the “current patchwork of state laws causes employees justifiable uncertainty about how their employers and governments will treat their familial relationships.” The range of cases seems to meet the standard set by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg when she predicted in an interview with The Associated Press in July that the court would not look for ways to avoid ruling on same-sex marriage, as it did for many years on interracial marriage bans. “I think the court will not do what they did in the old days when they continually ducked the issue of miscegenation,” Ginsburg said. “If a case is properly before the court, they will take it.”

many years before concentrations dropped significantly. Top climate scientists are now becoming increasingly skeptical that countries across the globe will meet the voluntary goals they set at the 2009 Copenhagen climate summit of limiting global warming to about 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit above preindustrial levels. In a draft report last month the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said it is looking more likely that the world will shoot past that point and by mid-century temperatures will increase by about another 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit compared to temperatures from 1986 to 2005. And by the end of the century that scenario will bring temperatures about 6.7 degrees warmer, it said.

GENEVA – Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere reached a record high in 2013 as increasing levels of manmade pollution transform the planet, the U.N. weather agency said Tuesday. The heat-trapping gas blamed for the largest share of global warming rose to global concentrations of 396 parts per million last year, the biggest year-to-year change in three decades, the World Meteorological Organization said in an annual report. That’s an increase of 2.9 ppm from the previous year and is 42 percent higher than before the Industrial Age, when levels were about 280 parts per million. Based on the current rate,

the world’s carbon dioxide pollution level is expected to cross the 400 ppm threshold by 2016, said WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud. That is way beyond the 350 ppm that some scientists and environmental groups promote as a safe level and which was last seen in 1987. CO2 emissions are growing mainly in China and other large developing countries as their economies expand. So far developed and developing countries have failed to reach a binding pact that would curb emissions globally. The goal of U.N. climate talks is to deliver such an agreement next year. Concentrations of CO2 build up over time because it stays in the atmosphere for decades. So even if emissions stopped today it would take

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama told congressional leaders Tuesday he has the authority he needs to launch a broader military campaign to root out violent extremists in Iraq and Syria, a day before outlining his plans to the American people in a prime-time address. The White House said the president told lawmakers he still would welcome action from Congress that “would aid the overall effort and demonstrate to the world that the United States is united in defeating the threat from ISIL.” That could take the form of specific authorization

to fund counterterrorism efforts, as well as to train and equip more moderate elements of the opposition to the Bashar Assad government in Syria. The president’s broader strategy to confront the Islamic State militants also may include more wide-ranging airstrikes against targets in Iraq and possibly in Syria. Obama also has sought military and political commitments from Europe, the Middle East and elsewhere. “The president believes this is a high national security priority,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. For Obama, a sustained U.S. intervention in the Mid-

tage to have Congress buy into that,” McConnell said before joining other Republican and Democratic leaders in the Oval Office Tuesday afternoon for a meeting with Obama that lasted just over an hour. None of the leaders spoke to reporters as they left the White House. However, an aide to House Speaker John Boehner said the Ohio Republican expressed support for efforts to increase the effectiveness of the Iraqi security forces and for equipping the Syrian opposition. Boehner also said he would support the deployment of U.S. military personnel to Iraq in a training and advisory role and to “assist with lethal targeting” of Islamic State leadership, according to the aide, who spoke only on condition of anonymity in order to discuss the private meeting.

BOYS SOCCER: CARY-GROVE 4, PRAIRIE RIDGE 2

Trojans outlast ’Canes By GREG LEASURE gleasure@shawmedia.com CARY – Cary-Grove has the talent to be a tough girls volleyball matchup for anyone, and it showed Tuesday night with a victory in three games over Marian Central, 25-19, 24-26, 2518. The Trojans (6-2) led for most of the match, only giving up the lead to Marian (1-4) once, at the end of the second game. C-G responded by taking a quick lead in the third game, an effort that pleased Trojans setter Erin Olson. “I think we responded really well,” Olson said. “The team rallied together, and Marian made it really difficult on us. They did a really nice job.” Outside hitter Sydney Nemtuda looked dominant and led the Hurricanes with six kills, but the Trojans just had more opportunities on offense, thanks in large part to Olson and her 18 assists. “Erin is a weapon,” C-G coach Patty Langanis said. “We can pretty much tell her whatever spot on the court is open, and she can put the ball wherever she wants pretty much at any given time. Right now, it’s just getting her to do it more. It really opens up your offense more when your setter can score a significant amount of points.” Olson is not the only weapon in the Trojans’ arsenal. In addition to her own seven kills,

Bears lacked any stars in Week 1 The problem with a weekly commitment to film study and grading out performances is that watching stinkers like the Bears’ upset loss to the Bills on Sunday over and over can get old really fast. What’s interesting, though, is as frustrating as the outcome against Buffalo was, individually most of the Bears weren’t all that bad. The problem is that none of them were particularly good. At the end of the day, the Bears were just a very average football team, and the Bills were marginally better than average. Matt Forte, Kyle Long, Jermon Bushrod, Willie Young and Jeremiah Ratliff actually played pretty well, Michael Ola and Brian de la Puente were more than stout coming off the bench, and only Stephen Paea, Ryan Mundy and Chris Conte jumped off

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush the tape because of their struggles. Score Jay Cutler a B- at quarterback. He made some nice reads, nice throws and big plays, but winning quarterbacks don’t make the throw he did on the Kyle Williams interception. It’s on Cutler more than anyone else that 427 yards of offense yielded only 20 points. Running backs, basically Matt Forte, get a B+. Forte did everything you could ask of him with what the line gave him to work with. Two things to watch here. Forte’s pass protection wasn’t bad, but he digressed a bit last year at what was

a strength, and he wasn’t perfect against Buffalo, and he was on the field for 70 of the Bears’ 74 offensive plays. He has to be because they’re just not good enough behind him, but he cannot keep up that pace week in and week out and stay effective. I gave the receivers and tight ends a B. They were solid if unspectacular, and Brandon Marshall cannot put the ball on the ground. It doesn’t get mentioned often enough though that Marshall is the best blocking wide receiver in the NFL, and the Bears’ receivers as a group are the best. Martellus Bennett had a nice game, but he can block the run better.

Tigers take care of business Streaks’ solid defensive effort not enough in FVC Fox loss By TIM SIECK sports@nwherald.com WOODSTOCK – The news surrounding Crystal Lake Central before this season was focused on the fact the Tigers lost 10 players from their Fox Valley Conference Fox Division champion team. This season, the rest of the conference should take note. This year’s team might look a lot different, but Central is still really good. The Tigers took care of business Tuesday in an FVC Fox match against Woodstock, 25-8, 25-8, at Woodstock High School.

Prairie Ridge has played only twice this year • SOCCER Continued from page C1 C-G (6-1) seemed to have control of the remainder of the first half as it scored twice more before the break on goals from Israel Lopez and Esteban Angeles, leaving Prairie Ridge with a two-goal deficit. “I think a lot of what beat us tonight were little things,” Wolves coach JC Brown said. “I give [C-G] credit for playing a great game, but there’s small things we need to fix and that will come in time.” The Wolves were playing their second game of the season, compared to C-G’s seventh. The second half starting quickly for the Trojans as junior forward John O’Brien found a deflected cross from Lopez, which he put in the net for the Trojans’ fourth and final goal. “It’s really all about wanting it more than our opponent,” O’Brien said. “We know that if we work hard

and play together, we’re a tough team to beat.” Prairie Ridge was able to inch closer with four minutes left as Marconi scored on a penalty kick, but that was as close as the Wolves could get. Brown knew his team would have a tough test Tuesday, but thought his team failed to execute its game plan, especially defensively. “Things such as marking tight and communicating were lacking tonight,” he said. “We need to play more as a team, and that just comes with time and playing more together. I’m not overly worried about the result today.” C-G goalkeeper Ethan Csoka made four saves, standing strong and sharp when his name was called. Brian Farstead made five saves for the Wolves.

Graham’s 10 kills lead BOYS SOCCER ROUNDUP C-G against Marian Johnsburg rallies to beat G-K • VOLLEYBALL Continued from page C1 Olson spread the wealth on offense with accurate setting for Sarah Graham (10 kills), Abigail Schebel (eight kills) and Allison Splitt (six kills). “It’s really nice to know that the team has my back and that my passers are always there for me and that the hitters are going to put it down no matter what,” Olson said. Putting the ball down for kills is exactly what the Trojans did Tuesday, and they did it early and often. With

the exception of an 8-3 run by the Hurricanes in the second game fueled by good blocking at the net, the Trojans made it tough on their opponent all night. Splitt, who closed the match with an emphatic kill, said that practicing specifically for the Hurricanes’ tough blocking helped the Trojans capture the victory, but the 6-foot-2 middle blocker also knows that their defense will have to keep improving. If the Trojans can just make those improvements in their passing game, their offense will be there to take advantage of it.

UConn quarterback Casey Cochran has accepted he will never again play football, but his coach is making sure he doesn’t have to give up the game. The sophomore decided to end his playing career after he suffered his third concussion since entering college during a season-opening loss to BYU on Aug. 29. He had other concussions while in high school. Diaco said Tuesday he met with Cochran, his family and the medical staff last Thursday and they came to a consensus. Cochran will remain on scholarship and take a new role with New role for UConn QB after the team as a coach in training.

news conference Tuesday in Minneapolis. “That’s straight up. I told you he was tough, and he’s tough.” Leidner, a sophomore, suffered the knee injury during the fourth quarter Saturday when he was hit after an incompletion. He was replaced by Streveler, who did not attempt a pass. Minnesota had been leading, 28-0, at halftime. A redshirt freshman and Crystal Lake native, Streveler made his college debut Aug. 28 during during mop-up duty of Minnesota’s win over Eastern Illinois, completing his only for pass for 12 yards and rushing for 21 more. He had one carry for 2 yards against Middle Tennessee State. Streveler sat out last season because of a torn tendon in his right thumb.

FIBA WORLD CUP: USA 119, SLOVENIA 76

Aggressive Rose helps U.S. reach semifinals Mexico, and his field-goal percentage had plummeted to 21 percent (8 for 37). Rose can thank Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski for the biggest assist. “Coach K gave me that green light,” Rose told reporters after the victory. “He just told me to go out there and play the way I normally play. Don’t worry about getting guys into the game.” Rose admittedly was out of his comfort zone the first six games but said he didn’t mind going back to his old-school distributing self. Rose dismissed the critics of his decision to play decoy

By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com Bulls guard Derrick Rose promised a different game was coming. “I found it now,” Rose told reporters Monday. “You’ll see [Tuesday].” Not a bad call. In his best performance in the FIBA World Cup, Rose shot 6 for 10 from the field for 12 points, had five assists and grabbed three rebounds to help Team USA beat Slovenia, 119-76, to set up a semifinal matchup against Lithuania. Rose was held scoreless in the round of 16 game against

a day earlier, saying, “Everybody is getting mad because I’m not shooting the ball more. That’s strange. I’m not gonna change my game just because people want me to shoot more. I’m gonna do exactly what the game tells Derrick Rose me to do.” The game against Slovenia must have been screaming at him to shoot more. Rose instantly went into attack mode, missing a layup but scrambling for the loose ball and put-back.

Over the next three-plus quarters, it was vintage Rose. He crossed over and slashed his way through the defense as Team USA turned a seven-point halftime lead into another laugher. “I’m trying to play team basketball,” Rose said. “But it kind of eased me a little bit just to hear Coach say that. It gave me a lot of confidence. I don’t lack any confidence, but when the head coach tells you to be more aggressive, it makes you think in another way.” Rose downplayed the poor shooting, but he admitted to working on his jumper during the two days off leading into

the quarterfinal. He tweaked it, and it seemed to work. “A lot of time when [Rose is] in the game, we have a lead, and he’s trying to get everyone else involved,” Krzyzewski said. “He looks for his stuff not just fifth sometimes, but sixth or seventh on the court. We need him to look at it like he’s one or two on the court.” While Rose sheds the rust, the Bulls keep trying to shore up their 3-point shooting. A league source confirmed that they’ve contacted free agent Ray Allen. The Bulls aren’t confident they can land him, but they figured it was at least worth the call.

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Josh Donaldson had a career-high five hits while driving in four runs, helping Jon Lester and the Oakland Athletics beat the White Sox, 11-2, on Tuesday night. Donaldson also scored two runs as Oakland got just its third win in 12 games. Lester (14-10) gave up two runs over eight innings, and the Athletics took advantage of a season-high five errors by the Sox. Possibly the only negative for Oakland was Craig Gentry suffering a concussion in a collision at first base while beating out a bunt single in the fifth. He was replaced by pinch-runner Josh Reddick. Lester gave up seven hits, struck out eight and walked two after going 0-3 in his previous four starts. He was sailing along with a 5-0 lead when Dayan Viciedo homered leading off the seventh. Carlos Sanchez got thrown out trying to stretch an RBI double to a triple, ending the inning, and Oakland pulled away. The Sox’s John Danks (911) lasted six innings, allowing four runs – two earned – and seven hits. He is 0-5 in his past eight starts.

NBA BRIEF

Goodell says no one at NFL saw Rice video before online

Hawks discipline Ferry for racist comments

By ROB MAADDI The Associated Press ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – As questions arose about the NFL’s original investigation of Ray Rice, Commissioner Roger Goodell said Tuesday the league asked for, but was not given, a just-released video showing the ex-Ravens running back punching his then-fiancee on an elevator. Goodell told CBS that “no one in the NFL, to my knowledge” had seen a new video of what happened on the elevator until it was posted online. “We assumed that there was a video. We asked for video. But we were never granted that opportunity,” Goodell said. He also did not rule out the possibility of Rice’s returning to play in the NFL. Two videos, one released by TMZ Sports and another shown

later to The Associated Press by a law enforcement official, show Rice punching Janay Palmer – who is now his wife – at an Atlantic City casino in February. After the TMZ video made its way around the Internet, the Ravens cut Rice and the league barred him indefinitely. In July, after another video released by TMZ showed Rice dragging Palmer out of the elevator but didn’t show what happened inside, Goodell suspended the player for two games. “I would tell you that what we saw in the first videotape was troubling to us, in and of itself,” Goodell said Tuesday. “But what we saw yesterday was extremely clear, is extremely graphic, and it was sickening. And that’s why we took the action we took yesterday.” Earlier Tuesday, Palmer posted a statement on her Instagram account, saying that bar-

ring Rice from playing football is “horrific” and that making the couple “relive a moment in our lives that we regret every day is a horrible thing.” Meanwhile, the fallout for Rice continued. Nike severed its business ties with him, and video game publisher Electronic Arts said it would scrub Rice’s image from their latest Madden ’15 release. In the videos that surfaced Monday, Rice and Palmer are seen hitting each other before he knocks her off her feet and into a railing. The higher-quality video shown to the AP shows Rice made no attempt to cover up what happened. After Palmer collapses, he drags her out of the elevator and is met by some hotel staff.

Patrick O’Donnell had a poor debut averaging just 36.5 net punting yards to Colton Schmidt’s 43.2, and kick and punt overage have to get better. The coaching staff gets a C.

Sky players leave the court after losing Game 2 of the WNBA Finals against the Mercury on Tuesday in Phoenix.

WNBA FINAL: MERCURY 97, SKY 68

Sky on brink of elimination By BRIAN SANDALOW For Sun-Times Media PHOENIX – Elena Delle Donne was looking like the player coach Pokey Chatman calls a superstar. After suffering through a lower back problem for the past five games, Delle Donne was playing the way the Sky needed. Then she picked up her third foul with 3:27 left in the first half, and the Phoenix Mercury were on their way to a second rout in two WNBA Finals games. Brittney Griner scored 19 points, Diana Taurasi added 18, and the Mercury took a 2-0 series lead with a 97-68 win Tuesday night in Phoenix. The Mercury can finish the sweep Friday at the UIC Pavilion and clinch their third WNBA championship in team history. Phoenix’s 29-point margin of victory is the biggest in WNBA Finals history. Up to Delle Donne picking up her third foul, the Sky were keeping up with a Phoenix team that won its 20th straight at home. The Sky were down

only 34-31 but Taurasi was fouled by Delle Donne with 3:27 to start a three-point play. Delle Donne then went to the bench, and Phoenix ended the half up, 51-36. The Mercury capped the first 20 minutes on a 20-5 run, finished by an Erin Phillips three-point play with a half-second left. Phoenix then put the game away in the third, outscoring the Sky, 23-15, to take a 7451 lead into the fourth. Delle Donne finished with 22 points on 8-of-12 shooting in 28:01. Hampered by the back problems in Game 1, Delle Donne scored two points in 10:24. Epiphanny Prince also had 15 for the Sky, but Sylvia Fowles struggled. She had 19 points and 11 rebounds Sunday but had four points and five rebounds Tuesday. For the Sky to rally and get back into the series, they’ll need Delle Donne’s re-emergence to continue. In two games they’ve been outscored by 50 points and have fallen behind by at least 30 in both games.

ATLANTA – The Atlanta Hawks are sticking with general manager Danny Ferry even though the team’s new majority owner wants him fired for racially charged comments about Luol Deng. CEO Steve Koonin on Tuesday told the Hawks’ flagship radio station that he made the decision to discipline Ferry but allowed him to keep his job managing the team. He did not say what the punishment was, but noted that he relied on a law firm’s three-month investigation of Ferry and him describing Deng as someone who “has a little African in him.” Ferry made the inflammatory comments about Deng in a conference call with the Hawks’ ownership group in June when the team pursued Deng as a free agent. Deng, who now plays for the Miami Heat, responded saying, “I’m proud to say I actually have a lot of African in me, not just ‘a little.’ ” Deng, like Ferry, also played at Duke. “In regards to the insensitive remarks that were used during our due diligence process, I was repeating comments that were gathered from numerous sources during background conversations and scouting about different players,” Ferry said in a statement released by the team. “I repeated those comments during a telephone conversation reviewing the draft and free agency process. Those words do not reflect my views, or words that I would use to describe an individual and I certainly regret it. I apologize to those I offended and to Luol, who I reached out to Monday morning.”

By Mike “Cy” Cajthaml, CFP®, ChFC®, CLU® Back in the 1980’s, seniors were viewed this way… the plea of an elderly woman relying on her emergency monitoring device. Well, things have certainly changed. Today, television viewers are bombarded with ads for Viagra and Cialis, assuring older men that they can count on the miracle of modern medicine to make sure they will be “ready when the moment is right”. We hear a lot about the “Boomers”… this group is large and has most definitely transformed America’s marketplace for goods and services. 78 million strong, Baby Boomers now age 50 and older represent 32% of the U.S. population and control 77% of the nation’s net worth! WOW! Madison Avenue better continue to update their antiquated viewpoint of consumers over age 50 and they better do it fast. By 2030, the 65-plus population is expected to nearly double, from 40 million today

to over 73 million! Don’t call these individuals old and certainly don’t expect them to act the same way as previous generations did. As Boomers live longer and longer than any generation before them, they will be seeking out answers to very perplexing questions… ones such as those related to maintaining good health, trying-out new things and pursuing lifelong learning. Empty nesters will look for activities to fill their time. And we Boomers that have spent a lifetime accumulating “stuff” will now be shifting our focus to having satisfying experiences fueling growth in travel, leisure and entertainment. If you are in this group you will also need to make sure your hard-earned assets will last your lifetime so that you can enjoy these “Golden Years” ahead. Here we come to the rescue! Call us and allow us to introduce you to our S.W.A.N. Technique.

PAUL McCARTNEY TRIBUTE CD DUE

THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Wednesday, September 10, 2014 • Section C • Page 8

Bob Dylan, Billy Joel and Willie Nelson are among the artists performing Paul McCartney songs in a massive tribute to the former Beatle due out in November. Up to 42 songs are featured in “The Art of McCartney,” available in various formats including a two-CD package and box set. Organizers said Tuesday that it’s due out Nov. 18, the brainchild of Los Angeles producer Ralph Sall. He’s been working on it since 2003, and on many of the cuts, the artists are backed by McCartney’s current band.

Nick Carter, Jordan Knight team up for album, tour

Tyson is in Toronto for his one-man show “Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth.”

Jordan Knight says being in a duo with fellow boy band veteran Nick Carter is less stressful than being part of New Kids on the Block. “When you’re in a really big group like New Kids or Backstreet Boys, you kind of feel the pressure of having to do stuff, music, whatever it is and have it geared towards a mass, mass audience, and it puts a lot of pressure on the group and the creative process,” Knight said in a recent interview. “And I think with us, we have a little more freedom, you know, to just explore and do something different than what would be expected.” Knight and Carter released the album “Nick & Knight” last week. They are currently on a tour that wraps in November. The idea of a duo came up when the Backstreet Boys and New Kids toured together in 2011.

U2 drops surprise album at Apple unveiling Surprise! U2 just put out a new album, and the renowned rock band is giving it away for free to iTunes users. U2 made the unexpected announcement Tuesday at Apple’s unveiling event in Cupertino, California. All customers with iTunes accounts could download the 11-song “Songs of Innocence” for free Tuesday afternoon. There was much speculation over whether the band would release an album earlier this year when news leaked about the band potentially postponing the highly anticipated new LP’s release to 2015. The Irish band played at Apple’s event, and CEO Tim Cook announced the new album would be given to the company’s 500 million iTunes users. A news release has said the album will be released to everyone else Oct. 14. Surprise albums are unusual and free albums even more so, but there are recent examples of both. Beyonce dropped her self-titled LP as a surprise on iTunes in December and it became one of the top-selling albums of 2014. Others, like Kid Cudi and Wolfmother, released surprise albums this year to little notice. Tom Petty gave away his new album with the Heartbreakers for free with purchase of a concert ticket. A news release says “Songs of Innocence” is an exploration of U2’s influences from the 1970s and ‘80s with themes of “home and family, relationships and discovery.” The album is produced by Danger Mouse with Paul Epworth, Ryan Tedder, Declan Gaffney and Flood.

Mike Tyson comes to Rob Ford’s defense Boxing great Mike Tyson is coming to the defense of Toronto’s scandal-plagued Mayor Rob Ford, saying “we all make mistakes.” In a rambling exchange with reporters after meeting Ford, the former world heavyweight champion said Tuesday Ford “has a troubled past because he has 24-hour surveillance of the press.” Ford returned to work in June after a rehab stint for drug and alcohol abuse. The mayor became an international celebrity last year after he acknowledged using crack in a “drunken stupor” following months of denials. “It’s not his fault, it’s just that he is living his life and we are human beings – we have no idea what you do behind closed doors,” Tyson said.

O’Hara tapped for NBC’s ‘Peter Pan Live!’ NBC has gone to Broadway to find one of its stars of “Peter Pan Live!” The network said Tuesday that Kelli O’Hara will play Mrs. Darling, the wife of George Darling and mother of the Darling children – Wendy, John and Michael – in the live telecast of the musical airing Dec. 4. O’Hara received Tony nominations for “South Pacific,” “The Pajama Game,” “The Light in the Piazza,” “Nice Work If You Can Get It” and “The Bridges of Madison County.” Next spring, she will return to Broadway in the revival of the classic 1951 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “The King and I,” starring Ken Watanabe. “Girls” star Allison Williams will play Peter, and Oscar winner Christopher Walken will play the villainous pirate Captain Hook.

Lady Antebellum’s Haywood is new dad Lady Antebellum’s family keeps growing as singer and guitarist Dave Haywood became a new father. Cash Van Haywood was born on Sunday in Nashville, Tennessee. A publicist for the country group said the boy weighed 7 pounds and was 19 inches long. The baby boy’s name is based on family names. Mother Kelli Haywood’s maiden name is Cashiola, and the baby’s paternal grandfather’s name is Van. It’s the first child for Haywood. But his bandmate, singer Hillary Scott, has a 1-year-old girl, Eisele, with her husband, Chris Tyrrell. The Grammy-winning band, featuring Haywood, Scott and Charles Kelley, have a new album, “747,” coming out on Sept. 30.

Pour liquids in first for efficient blending; then add powders such as protein mixes and dried greens.

Add soft and hard produce, and fibrous foods such as nuts and dried fruits, then frozen fruits.

The ice goes in last to help pull all the other ingredients down into the blades for even mixing.

A basic smoothie is quick and easy, and contains three essential elements: a liquid, a base (fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables) and a chill factor (ice or frozen fruit). Those simple components inspire all kinds of wonderful-tasting blends. Choose ingredients for nutrition and pleasure (yes, you can have both) in equal measure, taking into account taste, texture and vibrant color. After all, nobody wants to drink anything that looks and tastes like the place where the plants came to die.

Consuming smoothies right away maximizes nutrient value. However, for convenience, they can be refrigerated in sealed glass containers for a few hours or overnight. For longer storage, freeze in glass jars, allowing an inch of space for expansion of liquids. Defrost in the refrigerator, then shake or blend before serving.

Rotate your greens To avoid oxalic toxicity (which can deplete calcium from bones and teeth), blend a variety of greens. Start with mild leafy greens such as spinach, romaine, radish greens and kale. Work your way up to more pungent greens such as collard, chard, beet greens and arugula. Then introduce wild edibles such as dandelion greens.

Juicing removes skins and piths, which is good for cleansing or recovery from acute illness, as it offers a nutrient-dense experience that accommodates gentler digestion. Blending retains all the nutrients in skins, piths and seeds; that kind of fiber slows down the assimilation of sugars, assists with bowel regularity and is thought to help eliminate toxins.

Adding ½ teaspoon of probiotic powder or the contents of 1 probiotic capsule helps to balance the natural sugar content of sweet smoothies, aids the digestive system and can boost immunity. It is undetectable in a smoothie and a great way to get your daily dose.

Drizzle in a healthy extra Cold-pressed oils such as flaxseed, hemp, borage, avocado, coconut, macadamia, pumpkin seed and olive are healthful boosts. Start small, with just a teaspoon. Add gradually, usually about a tablespoon -- just enough so you can't detect it.

Watch your combos If bloating is a concern, pay attention to food combining. Blending certain fruits and vegetables together is problematic for some people and not others. Adding too much fruit or sugar to blends, or drinking high-water-content foods after other concentrated foods, also can cause problems. Consult a registered dietitian or nutritionist.

Blend up a more adult drink with tequila, ice cream By ELIZABETH KARMEL Texas Tequila Milkshake

AP photo

The Associated Press Here’s a fact you need to know – aged tequilas pair beautifully with ice cream. When I discovered this a few years ago, I started making these insanely easy, totally crave-worthy milkshakes. And I’m warning you, you won’t be able to stop at one. And that’s why I often serve these in shot glasses. It makes it easier to keep going back for more without going overboard. For ease, you can blend these shakes in advance, then place the blender carafe in the freezer. The alcohol will prevent the mixture from freezing solid, and you can just give it a quick whir back on the blender base before serving. This way you also can re-fill one glass at a time and store the rest in the freezer. The beauty of this three-ingredient shake is that it is made with ice cream, so you don’t need to add ice and dilute the flavor.

For this shake, I went with the rounder and milder reposado tequila. Reposado means “rested,” and it has to be aged in oak barrels for a minimum of 2 months (but less than a year). This time in the barrel gives the tequila an amber color, as opposed to the white “blanco” tequila, which is un-aged. It also removes the harshness of the new tequila and deepens the flavor, bringing out the vanilla notes. The reposado tequila pairs perfectly with vanilla ice cream, and caramel or chocolate liqueur enhances the flavor, making a boozy shake that is perfectly balanced without any bite. This is a great drink for a theme party, as you can easily find novelty shot glasses to match any occasion and let your guests take the glasses home as a souvenir of the day. Or serve them in tall, slender glasses for a more sophisticated feel. Either way, this blender drink fits into any party, any time.

Banish the blues with healthy blueberry muffins

Strawberry-Banana-Chia Breakfast Smoothie

EVERYDAY DINNERS Sara Moulton

Leave them feeling full with chia seeds By MELISSA D’ARABIAN The Associated Press Pity the chia seed. For so long, this nutritional powerhouse was relegated to late-night television commercials hawking sprouting cat-shaped clay planters. That is, until recently. Americans have suddenly realized chia seeds have a lot to offer a healthy diet. A tiny tablespoon of chia seeds crams in tons of protein, fiber, healthy fats, calcium, iron, manganese, phosphorus and omega fatty acids. That’s a lot to offer in a little seed. But the real reason I love chia so much? It fills me up, and that keeps me from getting hungry (and cranky) and grabbing the wrong kind of snack later in the day. That’s because when soaked in a liquid, chia seeds expand. They also release natural thickeners, creating a pudding-like mixture. Another bonus is that chia seeds are shelf-stable. That means I can buy them in large quantities in bulk or on sale, and that makes the budgeter in me happy. Not sure what to do with chia seeds? Here are some easy ideas: Very trendy right now is chia pudding. Just mix 2 tablespoons of chia seeds with 2/3 cup dairy milk or milk

alternative and let sit in the refrigerator overnight. By morning it will be thick and rich, perfect for topping with fruit and nuts for a healthy breakfast, snack or dessert. You also can use the seeds as-is sprinkled on almost anything – salads, granola, yogurt, rice. The crunch they add is great. Similar to the pudding, you can make a chia “gel,” which can be stirred into sauces, dips, or salad dressings to lend a more satisfying texture to otherwise lean items. To make a gel, mix 1 tablespoon of seeds with a 1/2 cup of water (or other liquid, such as coconut water) and let sit for 20 minutes. Chia gel even can be substituted for some of the fat in baking recipes. Ground chia seeds can be swapped for part of the flour in many recipes. Or stir chia seeds into thawed frozen fruit and let sit 20 minutes and you’ll have a sauce for ice cream, yogurt or cake. Perhaps my favorite use of chia, especially for hectic school mornings, is boosting the fiber and protein of a smoothie. You’ll be impressed by the staying power chia seeds give a simple smoothie. But only add the seeds at the end. Blending them in too soon will produce a gelatinous and unappealing texture.

Ripe, plentiful blueberries are such a highlight of summer that some of us are prone to getting the blueberry blues during the rest of the year. Happily, imported and frozen blueberries make it easy to enjoy them all the time. In fact, if you’re really on your game, you can pick extra now and freeze them for later. And when later comes around, those frozen hand-picked berries make for some pretty awesome muffins. But before you get out the muffin pan, let’s tackle some of the issues we often run into when making muffins. Typically, the batter is made with white flour and a ton of fat and sugar. It’s a delicious combination, but one that makes blueberry muffins more an indulgence than a healthy choice. It was easy to swap some of the white flour with whole wheat, but I also added oat flour to the mix. I worried oat flour might be hard to find, but that’s when I discovered that making your own is easy; just pulverize the oats in a blender until smooth. I loved what the oats brought to the recipe besides lots of fiber and nutrients, principally a sweeter and heartier flavor than wheat flour. They also made the muffins moister. Thanks to the mashed banana, which contributed moisture of its own, this recipe for a dozen muffins required only 3 tablespoons of butter. Just make sure the banana is very ripe to get the most out of its flavor and natural sugars. I also substituted low-fat – and big-flavored – buttermilk for the full-fat milk usually called for. Finally, I jacked up the pleasure quotient by adding lemon and cinnamon – which always pair up beautifully with blueberries – and conjured some crunch by topping the muffins with a little extra sugar. Considering that this recipe requires only 25 minutes of hands-on time, you might frequently find yourself whipping up batches of blueberry muffins in the dead of winter. They are sure to banish those blueberry blues.

Hearty Blueberry-Banana Muffins Start to finish: 50 minutes

In a small cup or bowl, use a fork to stir together 1/2 cup of milk and the chia seeds. Set aside for 5 minutes while you prepare the smoothie. In a blender, combine the remaining milk, strawberries, banana, yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if using) and the ice cubes. Blend on high until creamy and smooth, 30 to 60 seconds. Stir the chia seed and milk mixture to break up any clumps, then add to the blender and pulse on low once for 1 to 2 seconds, or just until the chia seeds mix into the smoothie, but before they are blended. Divide between 2 glasses and serve. If you want the chia seeds to plump up more, let the smoothies sit for 5 minutes before drinking.

Bars are sweet no-bake snacks By LISA YOCKELSON The Washington Post

1 1/2 cups low-fat milk, divided 2 tablespoons chia seeds 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, sliced 1 banana, frozen and cut into slices or chunks 1 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional) 1 cup ice cubes

Hearty Blueberry-Banana Muffins

Handmade fruit bars, created with a selection of dried fruit and an assortment of other elements, are a flavorful item to add to your no-bake repertoire. The key to a tasty result is to use a variety of sticky dried fruit, nuts and seeds; integrating a little coconut oil helps to bind the mixture, while a good splosh of vanilla extract rounds out and deepens the flavor. Once pasty and pressed into a loaf pan, the confection is refrigerated until firm and easy to slice.

clumps and becomes pasty. If the mixture balls up during this time, stop and carefully break it up. (If the mixture is not thoroughly processed until pasty, it will not adhere to itself well enough, and will not cut cleanly once thoroughly chilled.) You should be able to see small bits and flecks of the nuts and seeds rather than one solid color. Carefully remove the blade from the food processor, and use a sturdy offset knife to dislodge any fruit bar paste that might cling to the blade, then use the knife to scrape and transfer globs of the fruit mixture to the loaf pan. Use a flexible spatula to firmly press the mixture into an even layer. If desired, coarsely chop extra coconut flakes, cashews and/or pumpkin seeds (about 4 teaspoons total) and distribute evenly over the surface, gently pressing them in place while the mixture is still sticky. Fold over the flaps of plastic wrap directly on the surface. Refrigerate for 5 hours, or up to overnight, until quite firm. Use a sharp chef’s knife to cut the loaf into 16 equal slices (bars), or store the fruit-bar block whole in the loaf pan and slice to order. Keep refrigerated, either way.

Corn, cream a classic pairing By JOE YONAN The Washington Post As much as I love cold soups, they can get tiresome, especially because chilling mutes flavors. Even in the heat of summer, I frequently crave something hot – as long as it’s easy and quick to put together. Fresh-from-the-cob corn often makes its way into those hot dishes, sometimes starring in them. Every year, I try different strategies for maximizing and clarifying corn’s essence, including using the cobs, husks and silks to make a vibrant broth. Sooner or later (usually sooner), corn soup – combined with poblanos or white beans or sweet potatoes – shows up on my summertime table. Some combinations – corn and dairy, for instance – are classic, and that’s what attracted me to Nina Planck’s corn soup in “The Real Food Cookbook” (Bloomsbury USA, 2014). Planck knows her way around fresh ingredients: She grew up on a farm in Loudoun County, Va.; is former director of New York’s Greenmarkets; and set up a company that runs multiple markets in London. Oh, and here’s the brilliant addition: a little apple cider for a touch of brightness. If

you have everything else but the cider on hand, the soup is plenty tasty without it. It’s summer, so don’t sweat it.

Cream of Corn Soup With Red Pepper Sauce 4 servings (makes about 4 cups) 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (may substitute olive oil) 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and sliced 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped 3 ears fresh corn, husks and silks removed 1 cup whole milk (may substitute low- or nonfat), plus more as needed 2 tablespoons apple cider (optional) 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste Pinch ground cayenne pepper (optional), plus more to taste Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the red bell pepper and stir to coat. Cover and cook until it is very soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, leaving as much butter in the pot as possible; transfer to a food processor. Puree until smooth. Add the onion to the pot and stir to coat; cook (over medium heat) until

very soft, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cut the kernels from the corn cobs, then cut the cobs into 2-inch pieces. Add the corn to the pot and cook until it barely starts to soften and turns brighter, a few minutes. Add the milk, cider, if using, and cob pieces to the pot; adjust the heat so that the liquid is barely bubbling around the edges. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, until the corn is very soft. Discard the cob pieces. Add the salt and cayenne pepper, if using. Taste, and add more of each if desired. Working in batches, transfer the mixture to a blender; remove the center knob in the lid so steam can escape. Hold a towel over the opening; puree until smooth. If the soup is too thick, add milk as needed. (Alternatively, you can blend the soup in a food processor or with an immersion [stick] blender, but you may want to then push it through a fine-mesh strainer if the texture of the corn kernel skins is bothersome.) Divide the soup among bowls. Top each portion with a dollop of the red pepper sauce.

Mixed-race baby would be a surprise, not an outcast DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips ex. How should I handle the possible backlash and confusion if this child is, indeed, the product of my one-night stand?

– Scared In The South Dear Scared: Say nothing prematurely. If your baby turns out to be mixed race, deal with it matter-of-factly. While there may be confusion, all you have to do is say that you and

Tony plan to raise this child together in a loving family. If they wish to participate, they are welcome. If not, make it clear that you will do it without their help. Your baby will not be alone. According to the Census Bureau, the population of mixed-race Americans grew 32 percent from 2000 to 2010. Dear Abby: My girlfriend, “Donna,” and I have been together for eight years. We have a great relationship, respect each other and never argue. She has a low-paying job, and I

Dehydration is often the culprit causing brittle nails Dear Dr. K: As I’ve gotten older, my fingernails have become very brittle. They chip, break and split easily. I’ve also noticed ridges. What can I do? Dear Reader: Many of my patients notice that their fingernails become thinner, more brittle and fragile with age. Nails may split lengthwise, or separate in thin layers at the tips. The nails may look different, as well. They may become yellowed or dull, and many develop thin, vertical ridges. Brittle nails usually result from dehydration. Your nails may be dehydrated if you live in a dry climate, frequently wash and dry your hands or if you often use nail polish remover. Here are some things you can do to keep your nails healthy and combat dehydration: • Avoid long hot baths or showers. • Always moisturize your hands after washing and drying them. • Use a moisturizer (petroleum jelly is fine) on your hands and nails at bedtime. • Avoid prolonged exposure

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff

The vertical lines or “ridging” you mentioned is a natural part of nail growth. Ridging tends to happen more as we get older, and I don’t know of any way to eliminate it. Finally, don’t fall for the many myths and misconceptions about nail care. For example, eating gelatin or soaking your nails in it will not make your nails healthier or longer. I recall the first time a patient asked me about her brittle nails. Particularly since this patient also had serious heart and lung disease, I wondered why she was bringing it up. I surely hadn’t been taught anything in medical school about problems with fingernails. A senior colleague gave me some wise advice: “People care about their appearance – a lot. Some people care more about their appearance than about their life-threatening illnesses. Don’t dismiss those concerns.”

to cold, dry weather. Wear gloves outdoors. • Trim your nails regularly to keep them short and smoothly rounded at the tips. • Protect fingernails from injury. Wear gloves if you are working with your hands. • Don’t bite your nails or the protective cuticles around them. • Use a nail hardener or clear polish to strengthen the nails. • Don’t use nail polish remover more than twice a month. • If you get manicures, stick with reputable nail salons that sterilize instruments. Better yet, bring your own. • Trim your nails only after soaking them or after a bath or shower. They’ll be less likely to split. • File your nails in one direction only, and use a fine • Write to Dr. Komaroff at emery board or file. askdoctork.com, or write Ask • In hot weather or when Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Secexercising, stay well hydrated. ond Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

Married teen has the right to pursue her own happiness Dr. Wallace: I’m 19 and have been married to my husband, who is 33, for seven months. We attend the same church, and he also was our Christian youth director. I came from a troubled home. My father was physically abusive to my mother and me, and I’m sure he’s an alcoholic, or at least headed that way. Ever since I met him, I really liked my now-husband. He brought hope and stability to my life. When he asked me to marry him, I jumped at the chance, and we have a very happy marriage. My very best friend and I have been friends since we started first grade together. We really bonded when we got to high school because she and I had similar situations at home. She advised me not to marry my husband because she thought he was too old for me. She and I both have jobs and, now that I’m married, we don’t see that much of each other. We talk on the phone and sometimes get together for lunch on a Saturday. The last couple of times I’ve had lunch with Karla, she has had unkind things to

about her husband. Simply put, she’s jealous of your husband. By her incessant negativity, she’s saying: “You have to choose: him or me.” Well, the choice is obvious – it has to be your husband. Stop the lunches and phone calls with her. Writer her a letter or email and tell her your husband is the most important person in your life, and you’re sick of the way she bad-mouths him. Tell her you no longer want to see her, at least for the time being, but for the sake of the long-time friendship, you’ll consider resuming your friendship in the future. Also tell her that, if she can accept what you ask, she should put a note in writing to you. If she writes saying she’s sorry for her unwarranted remarks about your husband, it’s up to you to decide whether she’s trustworthy and if the friendship is worth continuing. Just remember, you have a right to your happiness, and she has no right to spoil it for you.

I love my husband and enjoy our life together, but I’m getting tired of my friend’s negative remarks about my husband and especially about being his nurse for years and years.

don’t ask much of her in regard to rent or other bills, but she does buy a few groceries now and then. I have always told Donna that if she ever needs money, all she has to do is ask me and I’ll help with what I can. My dilemma is that she “borrowed” about $50 in change I had been saving in a coffee can and didn’t tell me. When I asked her about it, she said she’d put it back. That was more than a month ago. Am I being petty? I’d hate for this to become an issue

Want new wines? Look to the Old World By MICHELLE LOCKE The Associated Press Fancy some furmint? How about a nice glass of grillo? If you’ve never heard of either, chances are you will. Wine lists are getting a makeover as producers all over the world make a play for U.S. palates. “There are so many new wines coming from around the world, Americans’ choices have increased exponentially,” said wine expert Mike DeSimone, co-author with Jeff Jenssen of “Wines of California: The Comprehensive Guide,” scheduled for release in September. Among the emerging varieties: “Definitely mavrud from Bulgaria and malvasia Istriana from Croatia. Also, we’re seeing more nero d’avola and grillo from Sicily,” said Jenssen. (Mavrud is a red wine, malvasia a white.) “The funny thing is, none of these is new. They are just new to the American wine market.”

Matthew Crafton was promoted from assistant winemaker to winemaker at Chateau Montelena in Napa Valley, California.

Crafton promoted to winemaker at Chateau Montelena Matthew Crafton knows he is part of history. In June, he was promoted from assistant winemaker to winemaker at Chateau Montelena in Napa Valley, California. Even though Crafton ran the white wine program at Chateau Montelena, he becomes just the fifth winemaker in the history of the iconic winery. His journey as winemaker begins with the 2014 harvest, which is challenged by the third straight year of severe drought in California. It gives him a chance to capture what Chateau Montelena does so well – tell the story of the vintage.

Winemaker spotlight Crafton thinks in terms of evolution rather than revolution. “There’s no magical formula I received when I was promoted,” Crafton said. “There’s not a key to a locker with the 1973 formula. We look at every vintage as a challenge rather than a chance to replicate past success. We want to continually refine what we do and make more elegant and complex wines.” That is exactly what Crafton plans to do with the 2014 vintage. Despite a three-year drought, the 2014 crop yields are only slightly lower than 2013. A rain storm arrived four weeks before bud break, but as winemakers around California have reported, the fruit is still of high quality. It just matured earlier this year. “2014 looks like another great vintage,” said Crafton, who added that this year is similar to 2004. “I’m excited to get to sink my teeth into the program on a bigger scale. “I didn’t expect a promotion. My first thought was, ‘Wow, this is awesome.’ For [Chateau Montelena CEO and Master Winemaker] Bo Barrett to have so much faith in me is humbling and exciting. It really got my blood flowing and reenergized me to think about the future.”

Take Sicily, a region primarily known for cheap bulk wine until relatively recently, when producers started focusing on quality. “International varieties” such as merlot and cabernet sauvignon can and do grow here. But there also are interesting local grapes such as nero d’avola (neh-row DA-vo-lah),

a red, which is beginning to make a name for itself in the U.S. market, and grillo (GREE-low), a white grape, that is showing up in imports like Stemmari’s “Dalila,” an 80/20 mix of grillo and viognier. Some of the new choices in wine are due to political changes; the break-up of the

Soviet Union has led to the emergence of a number of wines from Eastern and Central Europe. Furmint, for instance, is a white grape from Hungary, which usually goes into that country’s somewhat better-known tokaji (to-KAY) dessert wine, but also is made as a dry white. Bulgaria has benefited from entrance to the European Union and access to financial support, said Christy Canterbury, a wine writer and educator who is one of the few women to have attained Master of Wine status. “Some of the wineries that I have seen in Bulgaria are as sophisticated as the top ‘first growth,’ in Bordeaux,” she said, referring to the French classification system which puts ‘first growth’ at the top. And while Eastern European wines can be uneven in quality, Canterbury said the wines she’s tasted from Moldova so far have been “off the charts good.”

What to buy Chateau Montelena, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, 2011 ($50): This is an elegant, balanced wine. Great acidity compliments blackberry, anise and cocoa powder notes. The tannins are beautiful, and it can be enjoyed right now or be a reward for those willing to cellar it for a few years.

Napa Valley earthquake Pictures of shattered bottles and overturned barrels dominated my Twitter feed after a 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck Napa Valley County the morning of Aug. 24. Adam Lee had the best plan to help wineries. The owner and talented winemaker at Siduri took to social media and used his Twitter handle, @SiduriWines, to encourage his followers to buy a bottle of Napa Valley wine. I bought Titus, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, 2010 ($45), a wine with deep purple color, very focused with fruit notes of strawberry and blackberry. There’s cedar in the mid-palate, loamy earth and some ripe plum and dried cherry notes on the finish. It was a big wine for a Monday night, but it was for a worthy cause. “Fortunately, the Chateau Montelena team is safe and we have not sustained any damages to our facility or inventory,” Montelena spokeswoman Sonia Meyer wrote via email. “Our deepest sympathy and prayers go out to those in the valley who experienced the worst of the earthquake.”

CRYSTAL LAKE – Kmart plans to close its Crystal Lake store before the end of November. Signs announcing the closing and related liquidation sale went up Sept. 7. The 107,497 square-foot store in the Crystal Point shopping center at 6000 Route 14 will be shuttered by Nov. 16 or the following week, a store employee said Tuesday. Starting Wednesday, the store will be open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday, according to signs posted at the store.

The Kmart pharmacy’s last day will be Sept. 16. Medical records will be transferred to the pharmacy at Target in Crystal Lake by Sept. 17, according to the signs. “Store closures are part of a series of actions we’re taking to reduce on-going expenses, adjust our asset base and accelerate the transformation of our business model,” Howard Riefs, director of corporate communications for Sears Holdings, said in an email to the Northwest Herald. “These actions will better enable us to focus our investments on serving our customers and members.” The Crystal Lake store has 77

employees. Most work part-time. Employees who are eligible will get severance and have the opportunity to apply for open positions at area Sears or Kmart stores, Riefs said. Riefs said the store would close in late November, but didn’t give a specific date. Kmart, which is owned by Hoffman Estates-based Sears Holdings Corp., has been struggling financially. In December, the company said that it would close 100 to 120 Sears and Kmart stores to raise cash. Kmart is obligated until the end of its lease with the shopping center, said Beth Hicks, assistant vice presi-

dent and director of marketing for Inland Commercial Property Management Inc. She said Inland was seeking replacement tenants. Crystal Lake officials also are working to find new retailers for the shopping center. “The city is working closely with the property owner, Inland Real Estate, and is in conversations with a number of retailers who are interested in the Crystal Point Shopping Center,” said James Richter II, the city’s planning and economic development manager. “I don’t anticipate that this space will be vacant for very long.”

BUSINESS BRIEFS Grocer Aldi to open new McHenry location

Apple CEO Tim Cook introduces the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus on Tuesday in Cupertino, California.

Apple unveils larger iPhone, smartwatch Apple Watch company’s 1st new product since 2010 By MICHAEL LIEDTKE and ANICK JESDANUN The Associated Press CUPERTINO, Calif. – For the first time in years, Apple’s iPhones weren’t the star of the show. Apple unveiled a smartwatch Tuesday, a wearable device that marks the company’s first major entry in a new product category since the iPad’s debut in 2010. The move is significant because of recent questions about whether Apple still has a knack for innovating after the 2011 death of co-founder Steve Jobs. The device’s introduction upstaged the company’s two new, larger iPhones, which won’t just have bigger screens; they’ll have a new, horizontal viewing mode to take advantage of the larger display. The iPhone 6 will have a screen measuring 4.7 inches, while the iPhone 6 Plus will be 5.5 inches. In both cases, app developers will be able to design apps that can be viewed differently when the phone is held horizontally. Apple also introduced a system for using the phone to make credit card payments at retail stores. Apple is turning to the past as it lays out its future. The company held the event at the Flint Center for the Performing Arts, the same venue where Jobs unveiled the industryshifting Mac computer 25 years ago. The Cupertino, California, venue is near Apple’s headquarters. As for the iPhones, which still represent the main source of Apple’s profits, larger models should help the company compete with Android devices. Here’s what unfolded at Tuesday’s event:

Larger iPhones Find news and photos at facebook.com/nwherald For breaking news, follow us on Twitter @nwherald

The iPhone 6 will have a 4.7-inch screen, while the iPhone 6 Plus will be 5.5 inches. The screen resolution on the Plus version will be sharper than previous iPhones, at 401 pixels an inch rather than 326.

McHENRY – Low-price grocer Aldi will open its new McHenry store Sept. 24 at 2226 N. Richmond Road. This store will replace the location at 1742 N. Richmond Road, which will officially close at 9 p.m. Sept. 23. “We are pleased to showcase the new look of Aldi with this updated store in McHenry and continue to help customers stretch their dollars,” said Scott Patton, Batavia division vice president for Aldi. “As important as price is, there’s only one way to attract and keep shoppers: You have to have quality products. When people try our Aldi exclusive brands, they are excited by the savings and impressed by the quality.” The new store features higher ceilings and environmentally friendly building materials, such as recycled materials and energy-saving refrigeration and light bulbs. The new store is larger than the existing location, allowing additional space for produce and other fresh products. Aldi will host a ribboncutting ceremony at the new store at 8:45 a.m. Sept. 24. The public is invited to attend and sample Aldi-exclusive brands and tour the new store. Guests also can enter an onsite sweepstakes for a chance to win Aldi gift certificates.

Job openings stay near 13-year high; hiring up

Of course, some people still use their phones to actually make calls. When there’s poor cellular reception, people will be able to make regular calls over Wi-Fi. The handoff between the two networks will be seamless. In the U.S., this feature will initially be available through T-Mobile. The resolution on the camera is staying at 8 megapixels, while rival Android and Windows phones have been boosting that. The S5, for instance, is at 16 megapixels. However, the megapixel count is only one factor in what makes a good photo. Apple says it is putting in new sensors for better shots. Apple also is improving a slowmotion video feature by allowing even slower shots. The camera will be able to take 240 frames a second, double what’s in last year’s iPhone 5s. Normally, video is at 60 frames a second. The new phones will start shipping in the U.S. on Sept. 19, with advance orders to begin this Friday. Starting prices will be comparable to those in the past – $199 with a two-

WASHINGTON – The number of U.S. job openings remained near the highest level in 13 years in July, and companies also stepped up hiring that month to the fastest pace in nearly seven years, two signs the job market is slowly healing. The tally of available jobs ticked down 2,000 to 4.673 million in July, from 4.675 million in June, the Labor Department said Tuesday. June’s figure was the highest since February 2001. The drop was led by a decline in government job postings. Businesses actually advertised slightly more jobs. Total hiring, meanwhile, jumped 81,000 to 4.87 million, the highest level since December 2007, when the Great Recession began. That indicates companies are more likely to fill their open jobs. Still, that is below the prerecession average of just over 5 million hires a month. The figures suggest the job market is still making progress, despite last week’s mildly disappointing employment report. That report showed that employers added a net total of 142,000 jobs in August, the fewest since December. The unemployment rate fell to 6.1 percent from 6.2 percent, but only because some of those out of work gave up looking.

Guests arrive for the start of an Apple event Tuesday. Along with larger iPhones, Apple is unveiled the Apple Watch. With the larger screen comes a new horizontal view of the home screen. Usually, icons are stacked vertically, even when the phone is turned horizontally. App developers also will have new tools to rearrange their content to take advantage of that larger screen. The new phones aren’t as big as Samsung’s latest flagship phones – 5.1 inches for the Galaxy S5 and 5.7 inches for the Note 4 – but they will be large enough to neutralize a key advantage Samsung and other Android manufacturers have had. Notably, Samsung’s Note phone isn’t getting bigger this year. Last year’s Note 3 was 5.7 inches. Instead, Samsung is emphasizing other hardware features, such as a sharper screen. It’s also releasing a model with a curved edge to display weather, time and other information on the side of the phone. Apple said the new phones will be faster and have better battery life than previous versions. The phones also will have a new sensor, the barometer, to estimate how much you’ve climbed stairs, not just how far you’ve walked or run.

‘Stretch’-ing your wealth to future generations Because of the convenience of forced savings provided by employer-sponsored 401(k)s and other qualified plans, most people end up with about 60 percent of their retirement savings in IRAs – after rolling it over when they retire. The problem with this is that now every distribution is 100 percent taxable. So you need to know that a stretch IRA also can be an effective estate planning tool, allowing you to transfer wealth to future generations while deferring and potentially reducing, or even eliminating, income taxes on your retirement savings. Transferring wealth with a multigenerational “stretch” IRA could be an ideal solution for you. A stretch IRA is a traditional IRA that passes from the account owner to a younger beneficiary at the time of the account owner’s death. Because the younger beneficiary has a longer life expectancy than the

original IRA owner, he or she will be able to “stretch” the life of the IRA by receiving smaller required minimum distributions (RMDs) each year over his or her life span. More money can remain in the IRA with the potential for continued taxdeferred growth. Creating a stretch IRA has no effect on the account owner’s minimum distribution requirements, which continue to be based on his or her life expectancy. Once the account owner dies, however, beneficiaries begin taking RMDs based on their own life expectancies. Whereas the owner of a stretch IRA must begin receiving RMDs after reaching age 70½, beneficiaries of a stretch IRA begin receiving RMDs after the account owner’s death. In either scenario, distributions are taxable to the payee at then-current income tax rates. Beneficiaries also have the

INVESTING Timothy J. Dooley right to receive the full value of their inherited IRA assets by the end of the fifth year following the year of the account owner’s death. However, by opting to take only the required minimum amount instead, a beneficiary can theoretically stretch the IRA – and tax-deferred growth – throughout his or her lifetime. If you do not currently have any IRA beneficiaries, employing the stretch technique by naming a beneficiary could provide significantly more long-term benefits than simply allowing the account balance to be paid out to your estate as a taxable lump-sum distribution. So if you’re unlikely to deplete your IRA assets during retirement, consider creat-

ing a multigenerational stretch IRA. By doing so, you could help to build long-term financial well-being for a loved one. Consider the implications: • The ability to name new beneficiaries after RMDs have begun means that you can include a child in your stretch IRA strategy regardless of when the child was born. • The ability to change beneficiary designations after the account owner’s death means that one beneficiary may choose to disclaim his or her own beneficiary status so that more assets pass to another beneficiary. For example, if an account owner names his son as the primary beneficiary and his grandson as the secondary beneficiary, the son could remove himself as a beneficiary and allow the entire IRA to pass to the grandson. RMDs then would be based on the grandson’s life expectancy, not on the son’s life expectancy, as would have been the

New watch will come in variety of styles, straps A smartwatch

• APPLE Continued from page E1 year contract for the iPhone 6 with 16 gigabytes of storage. However, the step-up models will have double the memory than before – $299 for 64 gigabytes and $399 for 128 gigabytes. The iPhone 6 Plus phones will cost $100 more at each configuration.

Mobile payments Apple is calling its new payment system Apple Pay. You’ll be able to use your phone’s camera to capture a photo of your card. Apple will verify it behind the scenes and add it to your phone’s Passbook account so you can make payments at a retailer. Apple announced several merchants that will accept this system, including Macy’s, Whole Foods, Walgreens and Disney stores – and of course, Apple stores. Many companies have tried to push mobile payment services, but none has caught on widely. Cook said that’s because the business models have been centered around companies’ self-interest instead of the user experience. The latter, Cook said, is “exactly what Apple does best.” For security, the card number is stored only on the device. Each time you pay, a one-time card number is created to make the transaction.

The audience erupted with cheers as Cook proclaimed that he had, “one more thing.” It was how Jobs used to close his keynote addresses. That one more thing was Apple’s upcoming smartwatch. It’s called the Apple Watch, rather than the iWatch that many people speculated. Consumer electronics companies have yet to demonstrate a compelling need for smartwatches, while bracelets have largely been niche products aimed at tracking fitness activities. Apple’s device looks to change that. Consider the company’s track record: Music players, smartphones and tablet computers existed long before Apple made its own versions. But they weren’t mainstream or popular until the iPod, iPhone and iPad came along. Under Jobs, Apple made those products easy and fun to use. Cook said Apple had to invent a new interface for the watch because simply shrinking a phone wouldn’t work. Much of the interaction would be through the dial on the watch, which Apple calls the digital crown. You use that to zoom in and out of a map, for instance, so you’re not blocking the screen, which would have occurred if you were pinching in and out to zoom. Apple also worked with app developers to create new functionality. You’ll be able to unlock room doors at Starwood hotels or remind yourself where you parked your car with

a BMW app. The new watch will come in a variety of styles and straps, with a choice of two sizes. Watches from competing vendors have been criticized for being too big for smaller arms. The watch will require one of the new iPhones or an iPhone 5, 5s or 5c. It will be available early next year at a starting price of $349.

New software Though much of the attention has been on new gadgets, the software powering those gadgets is getting its annual refresh. Apple considers iOS 8 to be its biggest update since the introduction of the app store in 2008. Existing iPhone and iPad users will be eligible for the free upgrade, too. Apple takes pride in pushing existing customers to the latest software, allowing app developers to incorporate new features without worrying about abandoning existing users. With Android, many recent phones can’t be upgraded right away because of restrictions placed by manufacturers and wireless carriers. Among other things, iOS 8 will let devices work better in sync. For instance, it’ll be possible to start a message on an iPhone and finish it on an iPad. With an upcoming Mac upgrade called Yosemite, it’ll be possible to continue working on that same message on a Mac computer as well. The new software will be available to existing users Sept. 17.

case if the son remained a beneficiary. (When there is more than one beneficiary, RMDs are calculated using the life expectancy of the oldest beneficiary.) • The ability of beneficiaries to base RMDs on their own life expectancy means that the money you accumulate in your IRA and leave to heirs has the potential to last longer and produce more wealth for younger generations. While it’s true that recent regulatory changes have indeed made it much easier to incorporate a stretch IRA into your multigenerational financial planning initiatives, it’s always a good idea to speak with a tax professional before implementing any new tax strategy. Happy planning. • Timothy J. Dooley, CFP, is president of Comprehensive Retirement Resources Inc., an independent firm at 201 N. Draper Road, McHenry.

McDonald’s August sales hurt by scandal THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OAK BROOK – McDonald’s said Tuesday that a key global sales figure fell 3.7 percent in August, driven lower as the world’s biggest hamburger chain’s unit that includes the Asia-Pacific region dropped 14.5 percent because a food-safety scandal in China. That unit also includes the Middle East and Africa. McDonald’s Corp. said earlier this month that it will monitor its suppliers in China more closely after a food-safety scandal in the country hurt its sales and reputation. The announcement came after a TV report in July showed workers at McDonald’s supplier Shanghai Husi Food Co. – a division of OSI Group Inc. – repacking expired meat. McDonald’s stopped using the plant in Shanghai. The company plans to increase audits and video monitoring at its suppliers and send more employees to meat production facilities to ensure its food is prepared safely. It also has named a new food safety officer and created a hotline where employees can report poor food safety practices. McDonald’s is not the only

fast-food company to be hurt by food-safety concerns in China. Yum Brands Inc., whose brands include KFC and Pizza Hut, also has stopped using meat from the Shanghai plant and said that its restaurants cut all ties with OSI in China, the U.S. and Australia. McDonald’s anticipates the China scandal will hurt its thirdquarter results by about 15 cents to 20 cents a share compared with its year-ago results. The Oak Brook-based company said that it will update its 2014 financial guidance when it reports its third-quarter results in October. In the U.S., sales at established locations in operation at least 13 months declined 2.8 percent in August. The figure dipped 0.7 percent in Europe because of weakness in Russia. McDonald’s said that soft revenue is expected to pressure its U.S. margin performance in the third quarter. Aside from dealing with the China food-safety scandal, McDonald’s faces increasing competition and shifting eating habits. Part of the problem is that chains such as Chipotle are gaining favor by touting more wholesome ingredients and the ability to customize food.

Shoshana Zuboff, who recently retired from her post as the Charles Edward Wilson Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, said, “Activities that seem to represent choices are often inert reproductions of accepted practice.” There are bridge deals that appear to it a mold, but with careful analysis, one can see that they are not an inert reproduction of accepted practice. In today’s deal, South is in two no-trump. How should he plan the play after West leads the heart queen and East signals with his nine? South starts with six top tricks: two spades, one heart and three diamonds. There are two routes to eight tricks: four spades, one heart and three diamonds; or two spades, one heart and ive diamonds. Getting four spade tricks seems to require the inesse to work -- a 50 percent chance; while collecting ive diamond winners is a 54 percent shot. So it seems right to play on diamonds. Here, though, when the diamonds break badly, South does not have a hand entry to take the spade inesse. He will cash the

spade ace and king to drop the queen, but that only provides three tricks in the suit, not four. The right line, after winning with the heart ace, is to lead the spade jack to encourage West to cover if he has the queen. But after he plays low, declarer wins with dummy’s king and cashes the spade ace. When the queen drops, South leads a spade to his nine, then takes dummy’s three top diamonds and spade 10 for his contract. If the spade queen does not appear, declarer needs diamonds to run.

HOROSCOPE

! !

TODAY - Simplicity will be the key to your success this year. Don’t try to divide your time between too many projects or challenges. Maintain your discipline, and focus on what you can do, not what stands in your way. Getting upset at inconveniences will be a waste of time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- This is not the day to try to outwit the opposition. You will get further if you spend some downtime doing things you find relaxing. Save your battles for another day. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don’t allow anyone to undermine your integrity. Stay in control and in command. Be firm regarding your intentions, and refuse to let anyone steal your ideas or take credit for your work. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Put your ideas into practice. Stop procrastinating, and finish what you start. If you keep jumping from project to project, you can’t expect to get ahead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Your day will bring you more benefits than you anticipate. Outstanding results will occur if you make personal changes. Everything is pointing to success and satisfaction. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Plan your next move carefully. If you rush ahead without considering the consequences, you will be disappointed with the results. A slow approach will be in your best interest. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You are a prime candidate for a leadership position. Invest in yourself and let your dynamic personality propel you forward. A proposal you make will gain you unexpected allies. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t act irrationally. Think twice before you decide to eliminate people or possessions from your life. You will not get the chance to recover something you foolishly abandon. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Watch out for damaging gossip about you that is currently circulating. The best way to combat negative attention is to maintain a trustworthy reputation, work hard and play fair. It’s in your best interest to compromise. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Add comfort and value to your home with renovations or upgrades. A small mistake will escalate into big trouble if you don’t deal with it immediately. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- An upsetting turn of events will work out to your advantage. More cash will come your way if you check out new opportunities and options. Call in an old debt or favor. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t get hung up on what’s happening around you. Keep your emotions out of the equation. If you can remain focused, you will knock a lot of items off of your to-do list. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Romance is looking good for you. This will be a great day to seek recognition for your work on a current project. New friends and moneymaking opportunities are heading your way.
