Good morning, McHenry County ...

Tortuous route to Gliniewicz story award June sneaked up quickly, and last week I’d actually forgotten that it was time for the Illinois Press Association Convention and awards ceremony in Springfield.

It seemed ages ago that we were wallowing in the figurative and literal swamp chasing the tale of now-disgraced Fox Lake Lt. Joseph Gliniewicz.

While I’ve attended the Springfield convention, it’s been many years. Nothing against the event, but I’d generally rather work than talk about work. When not working, I talk about other things that normal people talk about. I’ve observed this because I have friends who are normal. Not many, but some.

People in any field should be proud of their accomplishments. Many have recognition ceremonies to honor employees for exemplary work whether within their own company or, in our case, judged with peers from other media agencies across the state.

Not asking for sympathy for the devil, but journalism is the kind of business where most feedback is critical ranging from valid observations to nitpicking, to ad hominem attacks. We just call that “Tuesday” in newsrooms. You get used to it.

No harm in celebrating what you’ve done well over the course of a year. Like anything else, after a few decades, it’s not as big of a deal for me as it used to be. Stumble around our office, and you’ll find boxes of awards, trophies tucked away in corners and drawers everywhere.

But something else has always made journalism awards awkward for me. It’s because the likelihood of success often depends on the level of tragedy, inhumanity, ineptitude, audacity in your own backyard within a calendar year.

If you had a significant natural disaster, a spectacular or horrific crime or a monstrous deed perpetrated by an important official, you’re a lock to win Breaking News awards. You still have to hit the pitch hard when it crosses the plate, but you get the picture.

Most journalists I’ve known aren’t ghouls.

We take no more joy in human misery than others. But we do enjoy putting a spotlight on a wrong, exposing injustice and drawing attention to societal failures.

Which leads us to the Joe Gliniewicz case.

Few cases in my career have been as vexing and all-consuming for weeks as the investigation into Gliniewicz’s death.

First, it was an officer shot to death – a tremendous tragedy in a small town, book-ended in the national consciousness by

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Kevin Lyons events in Ferguson, Missouri, and the random shootings of police officers in other parts of the nation.

Within moments, we were flooded with media calls seeking interviews of our staff, from CNN and Fox News to NPR and Canadian news outlets. I spoke with Shepard Smith live and an NPR national host. Some reporters spoke to Anderson Cooper and other national anchors.

We often declined interviews because we had our own reporting to do.

Although that was strange, the story itself was far more bizarre. We felt played along with the rest of the media, the people of Fox Lake and the nation for buying a hero story about “G.I. Joe” that got sketchier and sketchier as time wore on and no killers had been identified.

This culminated for me as I sat in an empty newsroom around 2 a.m. listening to police scanners about a massive manhunt based on a phony tip from a wacky nanny. But I got off much easier than the guys slogging through the Volo bog in full SWAT gear.

Several of us worked nonstop on Labor Day without complaint because we believed we were honoring a hero – breathless live coverage of Gliniewicz’s funeral at Antioch High School attended by thousands including police officers from across the country.

But we weren’t just covering a charade – unbeknownst to us, we were part of the charade.

Being wrong first was painful. We were all wrong. We all believed a lie. Maybe we wanted to believe a lie? Readers wanted a hero. We wanted a hero.

“Show me a hero, and I’ll write you a tragedy,” F. Scott Fitzgerald once said.

Gliniewicz was no Gatsby, but the real story eventually came out – as painful and difficult as that process might have been. Considering what was being hidden for so long, I’m not convinced the fraud had to be perpetuated as long as it was.

Thanks for sticking with us until we got it right. I’m not sure journalism awards are the best way to celebrate the end of that road, but we all deserve something.

GETTING SLAMMED WITH OLD TV SETS Recycling drives not enough to keep up with demand in McHenry County

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com When Sue Jensen used to see TVs dumped on random curbs or in Dumpsters, she thought people were putting them there because they were unaware Illinois had banned electronic devices in landfills in 2012.

Four years after the ban began, Jensen no longer believes ignorance is the issue.

“I think TVs are on the curb now – or in the ditch, or in the river – because people are frustrated there’s nowhere else for them to put it,” Jensen said.

Jensen, a board member of the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County, sees firsthand how much the demand for recycling of electronics – particularly TVs – has exploded in recent months.

She and Ken Santowski, another Defenders

A lot of times, people just assume – why else would we be doing it if we weren’t making money? That’s why we are the only ones left doing it: We’re doing it because we care about the environment.”

Sue Jensen, Environmental Defenders of McHenry County board member

board member who also is on the Lakewood Village Board, have led the effort to give McHenry County residents a place to recycle those devices.

A series of events has contributed to the spike in demand, including the fact that a Spring Grove vendor who previously collaborated with many municipalities went out of business.

Meanwhile, stores such as Best Buy that used

Spartan race challenges participants

By NATE LINQUIST for Shaw Media RICHMOND – Thrill seekers stormed Saturday into Richmond for the Reebok Spartan Super race.

The event took place at the Richmond Hunting Club and was anything but a typical race. The course featured more than 20 obstacles the runners had to overcome to complete the challenge.

One obstacle, called the Herc Hoist, had participants lift large sandbags up via a rope until the bags reached the top.

Another challenge was a spear throw requiring runners to hurl a spear into a haystack before moving on.

Runners were released at different times. The first group to kick things off were runners classified as “elite men,” starting the race at 7:30 a.m. They were followed by a group called “elite women” at 7:45 a.m. Some in attendance even were cast members from NBC’s “Friday Night Lights.” Because it was a race for those who want to call themselves Spartans, people waiting at the starting line were pumped up by doing squat thrusts and chanting “A’oo, a’oo, a’oo,” which is from the 2006 action film “300.”

Runner Katie Purcell, who finished the grueling course in just two hours and eight minutes, explained why she loves participating in challenges like this.

“This gives us all a healthy, positive thing to focus on, and it brings people together,” Purcell said.

Other barriers included hurdling over a 6-foot wall, a 7-foot wall, rope climbing and carrying a sandbag over the shoulders for about 100 yards. Just before reaching the finish line, the last obstacles were the Stairway to Sparta, a giant wooden wall participants had to climb over, and a small fire pit runners had to jump over.

Runners finished the race covered in mud and sweat – and glory. Anyone who completed the course received a medal, a free T-shirt – and the satisfaction of completing an epic experience. In addition, showers were available to the runners so they could wash off the mud.

Runner Chad Regennitter, who traveled all the way to Richmond from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, said this was his sixth race this year.

“I love the sport. I love the competition. And I love the challenge,” Regennitter said.

Regennitter believed the hardest part of the Spartan race for him was the multirig, which he defined as a more challenging version of the monkey bars. Because he wasn’t able to complete the multi-rig, he instead had to do “burpees” (squat thrust exercises). Despite the setback, Regennitter finished in one hour and 33 minutes.

“I feel pretty good still,” Regennitter added. “I wish I wouldn’t have fallen off the multi-rig, but there’s always something to improve. That’s one of the things that always makes me come back to this sport.”

A second race was scheduled Sunday for people to participate in. That race will be about half the distance of Saturday’s race but will include almost as many obstacles.

Analysis: I-90 interchange would be economic windfall County Board members wary of another Randall Road situation

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A full interchange at Route 23 and Interstate 90 south of Marengo could mean between $538 million and more than $1.7 billion in economic impact from new jobs for McHenry County, according to an analysis unveiled to the McHenry County Board.

But as the County Board grapples with an expensive and increasingly unpopular plan to widen Randall Road, some members want assurances that Marengo won’t turn Route 23 into yet another congested amorphous shopping and residential district that one day would need a pricey fix of its own.

McHenry County Economic Development Corp. President Pam Cumpata, armed with a 28-page analysis, made the case for the proposed interchange before the County Board on Tuesday.

Building the interchange, which would give McHenry County its first, could mean between 900 and 3,594 jobs if Marengo’s dream of creating an industrial hub there is realized, according to the analysis.

“As I always say, economic development is a marathon, not a sprint. It is a process, and it is a lot of the foundation building, and this full interchange will build that foundation to allow for the potential $538 million in additional funds into McHenry County, up to the $1.7 billion as more of the long-term,” Cumpata said.

The analysis estimates a long-term economic impact of between $697 million and $2.25 billion if the construction of the interchange and the businesses themselves are factored in.

The numbers are specific to McHenry County, not the region.

Supporters want to take advantage of plans by the Illinois Toll Highway Authority to replace the Route 23 overpass as part of an I-90 widening project to build an interchange that would be not only equidistant from Rockford and O’Hare airports, but also near several major rail hubs.

“As I always say, economic development is a marathon, not a sprint. It is a process, and it is a lot of the foundation building, and this full interchange will build that foundation to allow for the potential $538 million in additional funds into McHenry County, up to the $1.7 billion as more of the long-term.”

Pam Cumpata

McHenry County Economic Development Corp. president Marengo has annexed most of the land down Route 23 to the interstate in preparation.

The county’s five-year road improvement plan pegs the cost at $50.2 million.

McHenry County political and business leaders have long wanted an interchange within McHenry County on the small stretch of I-90 that passes through its southwest corner.

Supporters claim that the county is the largest by population in the U.S. without direct access to an interstate – Huntley’s new full interchange at Route 47 is just over the border in Kane County, Nick as are McHenry Coun- Provenzano ty’s connections to I-90 on Route 31 and Randall Road.

The analysis estimates local benefit based on state and federal data from 528 economic sectors.

But although Marengo’s plan for the area is strictly industrial and related commercial, some County Board members wanted to make sure that plans also don’t include a Route 23 lined with big-box stores, rooftops and congestion.

Nick Provenzano, R-McHenry, referred to the recent Committee of the Whole meeting board members had regarding the widening of Randall Road and improving its intersection with Algonquin Road, a $97 million, twophase project that a growing number

of board members want scaled back or scrapped.

The road, which started out as an arterial alternative to Route 31, is now an economic engine with lots of development and stoplights that impede its original purpose.

“My bigger concern would be … that we immediately prepare to work with the state on long-term planning for what 23 is going to look like, so that we don’t have [Committee of the Whole meetings] in six years talking about a $100 million fix because we decided to make a commercial corridor and an arterial Peter Austin road at the same time,” Provenzano said.

Cumpata said Marengo’s plan does not include a commercial and residential corridor along Route 23.

County Administrator Peter Austin said the county is working to get that included in the memorandum of understanding that will determine how much of the cost of the interchange is divided among Marengo, the county, the toll authority and the Illinois Department of Transportation.

Marengo city leaders and administrators have assured the County Board in person that their plans were not for “another Randall Road.”

“We want that in the memorandum of understanding on the up-front – that they’re going to stick to their plan,” Austin said.

8 McHENRY

Darren Bohmann (from left), Carlo Hertz and Natascha Bohmann display the Purple Heart awarded to Pfc. Felix Ellione and a letter from President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Hertz found the medal while cleaning out his Fox Lake home for an estate sale.

The Bohmanns traveled from Milwaukee to pick up the artifacts in McHenry.

Purple Heart delivered to family of fallen soldier

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Darren Bohmann has a vague memory from his childhood of asking his father whether any of his relatives had fought in World War II. Without much detail, Bohmann said, his father said one of his great-uncles had served.

On Friday, Bohmann’s knowledge of that great-uncle became much more tangible as he and his wife, Natascha, traveled from Milwaukee to McHenry to pick up a Purple Heart awarded to Pfc. Felix Ellione, who was killed in action in 1944 in Italy at age 35.

Suzy McClarey, a McHenry native who now lives in Kentucky, said the medal and several other artifacts were discovered Tuesday when she was helping her friend, Carlo Hertz, clean out his Fox Lake home for an estate sale. Hertz’s aunt, Lenora, had been married to Ellione, but McClarey said they felt the medals, letters and flag they found should go to someone in the fallen soldier’s family.

McClarey and a friend set off on a

mission to find Ellione’s descendants, researching his background and posting photos of the items – along with the names of his seven deceased siblings – on her Facebook page and asking friends to share.

Bohmann’s sister’s neighbor recognized the family’s last name from a post on the page of Wisconsin-based Stars and Stripes Honor Flight, and McClarey was able to connect with the family.

“It was everybody’s teamwork. It made me feel proud to be an American,” McClarey said. “The power of Facebook was just amazing.”

The Bohmanns, who live in Milwaukee, met with McClarey and Hertz on Friday in McHenry, looking through items that included the Purple Heart, a 48-star flag from his burial, newspaper clippings, other medals and dog tags, and several letters of condolences, including one signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

“On the way home, I was already Googling to see if I could find more stuff, more newspaper items,” Natascha Bohmann said.

In addition to researching further, Darren Bohmann said he plans to show the items to his surviving aunt and uncle and ask whether they can shed any more light on Ellione’s story before figuring out long-term plans for the items.

“It’s just a great experience,” Bohmann said. “To not even really know about him too much before this and starting to learn more is great. ... It’s a great feeling to know I have a great-uncle who fought for us.”

ISLAND LAKE – For those desiring a day on the water, Island Lake Pontoon Boat Tours offer an educational experience.

All tour boats are driven and donated by those who reside on the lake.

Although boats vary in size, they tend to carry 10 passengers. During the approximately hourlong ride, guests are accompanied by a docent from the Historical Society of Island Lake.

Information regarding the culture and history of the lake is explained throughout the ride, which starts from boat pier on Eastway Drive. A suggested donation of $10 helps sup-

port the Island Lake Historical Society and the Lake Management Committee.

Tours typically are scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Fridays, as well as 4 p.m.

Sundays. Reservations are required, and positions can be secured by calling 847-835-5501.

Whether it is to learn about Island Lake or go for a ride, the tours offer an opportunity for passengers to spend time on the lake.

“A lot of people like the idea of going on the water, but don’t have the accessibility,” Lake Committee member Liz Nelson said.

In its third season of operation, Island Lake Pontoon Boat Tours grant passengers this opportunity.

Woodstock D-200 school board renews superintendent’s contract

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The Woodstock Community Unit School District 200 board has approved a new three-year contract and raise for Superintendent Mike Moan.

Moan initially will receive a $13,020 raise from his current salary of $185,850, and a 2 percent salary increase for the next two years of the contract.

This reflects an average 3.66 percent salary increase over the term of the contract, Executive Assistant to the Superintendent Lynn Mohan said in an email.

Although board President Carl Gilmore was absent from the May 10 meeting when the contract was unanimously approved, he said he supported the board’s decision.

Gilmore said the board has been supportive of the direction Moan has gone since starting as superintendent in 2014.

“We’ve been just pleased with his

“We’ve been just pleased with his overall management and in terms of his community outreach, his attempts to try to meet with any groups and be involved in the community and be visible in the community.”

Carl Gilmore

Woodstock District 200 school board president overall management and performance in terms of his community outreach, his attempt to try to meet with any groups and be involved in the community and be visible in the community,” Gilmore said.

Gilmore said that under Moan’s leadership, the district also has implemented the one-to-one program, updated the strategic plan and negotiated new contracts with the Woodstock Council

of Teachers, Woodstock School Related Personnel, Woodstock Council of Classified Employees Custodial Chapter and Woodstock Transportation Employees’ Council.

“It’s a big job, and there’s a lot to do,” Gilmore said. And because the board was happy with Moan’s performance, it decided it was a good time to renew his contract, Gilmore said.

This contract will replace Moan’s initial contract, which went through 2017, and was offered by the board after Moan’s annual review on April 14, Mohan said. The new contract starts July 1.

There are no changes in the vacation time Moan receives, or his monthly automobile allowance of $333.33, according to the contract.

Moan, a 1991 graduate of Woodstock High School, became superintendent following the retirement of Ellyn Wrzeski. He previously was the chief academic officer in Huntley Community School District 158.

Driver injured after minivan rolls into Fox River Grove Dunkin’ Donuts

minivan was transported to Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital after the vehicle rolled over into a Dunkin’ Donuts along Route 14, a fire official said.

Fox River Grove Fire Protection District Lt. Chris Dammers said the man suffered minor injuries when the vehicle rolled over in the restaurant’s parking lot about 10:45 a.m. and slid against the building, breaking a window.

The crash was reported by customers eating in the Dunkin Donuts’, at 916 Route 14, Dammers said.

The building reportedly did not sustain damage beyond the broken window, and the vehicle was towed from the scene.

It’s unclear what caused the vehicle to roll over.

Fox River Grove police also responded to the crash and are investigating, he said.

LOCAL BRIEF Man taken to hospital with serious injuries after crash

HARVARD – A man was airlifted to Rockford Memorial Hospital with serious injuries after a motorcycle crash Saturday evening in Harvard, a fire official said.

Harvard Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Don Davidson said the department responded at 6:51 p.m. to a call for a single motorcycle crash on McGuire Road just west of Alden Road.

He said personnel found a man in the ditch whose motorcycle was down in the road.

Davidson said it was unclear what caused the man to fall off the motorcycle and no other vehicle or object was involved in the crash.

The patient was taken by ambulance to Mercy Harvard Hospital, where he was airlifted to Rockford, Davidson said.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Department and Marengo fire and rescue personnel assisted with the crash, he said.

Meyer Material likely to continue mining site through November

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com CARY – After its request for a mining extension was denied last month, Meyer Material has indicated it likely will continue to mine and pay associated penalties through at least November, Village Administrator Chris Clark said.

Meanwhile, the company is considering whether to file a mod- Chris Clark ified petition for an extended mining agreement, Clark said.

Meyer’s existing contract, which was approved in 2008, stipulates the company must pay a $100,000 penalty for each month it mines past June 1.

Clark said the company made a $450,000 payment that was due June 1 and subsequently paid $100,000 for mining that has continued this month.

While the company has said verbally it likely will mine through November,

Clark said it has not forecast whether it will mine in 2017 or beyond because it likely will depend on its contracts and market rates.

“Clearly, Meyer is holding its options open,” Clark said. “The village’s goal has been to get mining completed as timely as possible.

The reality is the market is such that they might want to pay the penalties longer than people planned.”

Trustee Rick Dudek Rick Dudek said at Tuesday’s Village Board meeting that he felt the extension should be sent back to the Zoning Board because the final agreement the Village Board voted on was different from the one given a Kim Covelli negative recommendation by the Zoning Board in February.

The negative recommendation meant the proposal needed four positive votes

from trustees. The extension was rejected in a 3-3 tie vote.

Since February, the village had a plan created for a potential park on the site, and Meyer had agreed to a grading plan that clarified how the land should be left.

The final date on the proposal also was changed from 2020 to 2019, Clark said.

Village Attorney Adam Simon said denied applications are subject to a 12-month cooling-off period under village code, but if Meyer brings forward a modified application sooner, the Village Board could vote to send it to the Zoning Board to begin the process again.

Several trustees said they would be open to hearing a modified proposal.

Trustee Kim Covelli said she would want any new proposal to reconsider Meyer’s contribution to the Fox Trails subdivision because residents did not feel the $50,000 included in the last proposal was a strong enough offer.

The program, started by Sheriff Bill Prim, is open to McHenry County residents ages 14 to 20 who are in good academic standing and have an interest in law enforcement. The initiative follows the sheriff’s office police explorer club that started last fall.

So far, the group has been trained in first aid and CPR, received a tour of the department, discussed the importance of leadership and learned about crime prevention, community relations and interviewing, among other topics.

Deputy Aimee Knop said the group currently is at capacity but that organizers plan to consistently evaluate the demand and needs for the explorers as the program progresses. She

said the sheriff’s office likely will accept applicants on a yearly basis.

Knop said the program helps participants experience various careers in law enforcement and lets them become more familiar with the department to see if this could be the right job for them in the future.

“We want them to get a variety of exposure,” she said.

Prim said the Explorers Post participants already have exceeded the office’s expectations in the first month.

The first big event will be assisting with parking at the McHenry County Fair in August alongside the sheriff’s office volunteer program.

“The new Explorer Post is great way for the sheriff’s office to open their doors to our county’s youth helping them become future leaders in law enforcement and their community,” Prim said in a statement.

Those with questions about the program can email sheriff@co.mchenry. il.us or call Knop at 815-334-4735 or Deputy Tim Creighton at 815-334-2068.

LOCAL BRIEFS Woman seriously injured when SUV hits tree in Algonquin

ALGONQUIN – A woman was transported to the hospital with serious injuries after her vehicle crashed into a tree Saturday evening, a fire official said.

Algonquin/Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District Lt. Wendy Hoover said the woman, who was around 60 years old, was the only occupant of an SUV that crashed into a tree about 6:30 p.m. in the 1100 block of Cermak Road.

The woman had to be extricated from the vehicle and was transported to a nearby hospital, she said.

It’s unclear what caused the car to leave the road, Hoover said. The woman was wearing a seat belt, and the airbags of the vehicle deployed, she said.

Algonquin police also responded to the crash and were on scene for several hours investigating, she said.

Huntley approves contract for website redesign

HUNTLEY – The village is planning a revamp of its website and the village’s economic development website, with

the Village Board approving a contract with Revize LLC of Troy, Michigan, last week.

The website is expected to be complete by the end of September, according to village documents.

The update will include Responsive Website Design that will make the websites viewable on any device, a mobile application and a citizen request center, among other enhanced communication features.

The village’s website was launched in 2009 and the economic website in 2012, staff said, and the main website is limited in opportunities for resident interaction.

The contract with Revize, which was chosen from among nine applicants, indicates the village will pay $30,900 for the redesign and a yearly $5,900 hosting fee.

Revize also will redesign the websites for free in the fifth year of the contract.

Revize’s proposal said the company has 20 years of experience and extensive experience designing municipal government websites, including in the Illinois towns of Hinsdale and Olney.

not charge for electronics recycling, several have worked with trash collectors or other companies to arrange spring cleaning events, only to see the events get swamped.

Cary hosted a recycling drive for residents on April 23 and anticipated double the 70 vehicles it served at last year’s event. The event ended up serving 315 vehicles, mostly with TVs,

ble its collection from last year, Public Works Director Jon Schmitt said.

Algonquin Township, which hosts a monthly drive for residents, had to institute a limit of one TV or monitor per household per month. At its April drive, Township Highway Commissioner Bob Miller said the line stretched down Route 14 from the Country Gas station in Crystal Lake to the Thornton’s in Cary.

“What happens is, you open the door, and my good golly, they just keep coming,” Miller said.

Those running recycling drives are hoping the state will come up with a better solution to ensure that all residents have a place to properly recycle old TVs. For now, the Defenders are continuing their monthly efforts around the county. The group’s drives include one that occurred Saturday in Harvard and one planned for July 9 in Algonquin, and it is working with McHenry Township to host regular drives there.

“My goal is that everyone will finally get rid of all their TVs and we can go back to collecting light bulbs and Styrofoam,” Santowski said.

to accept TVs have stopped because state law dictates they cannot charge for the service.

The Defenders accept electronics at their monthly recycling drives, charging 50 cents a pound (up to $40) for TVs and computer monitors, which is allowed because the organization is a 501(c)(3) charity.

Santowski provides trucks and other resources from the company he co-owns, Elgin’s Chicago Logistic Services, and the events are run by volunteers. The Defenders do not profit – the collected fees cover the cost of hauling and recycling.

“A lot of times, people just assume – why else would we be doing it if we weren’t making money?” Jensen said.

“That’s why we are the only ones left doing it: We’re doing it because we care about the environment.”

The Defenders always have worked to fill a niche for recycling that’s not being offered elsewhere, Jensen said, but the influx of TVs got so huge last last year that the group reached a “crisis point” and suspended its monthly drives for three months to regroup.

The first three drives of 2016 yielded 34,000 pounds of TVs, they said.

STATE Cyanide victim’s sister: Police have done ‘nothing’

By JASON KEYSER

The Associated Press CHICAGO – The sister of a Chicago businessman who authorities said was poisoned with cyanide after winning the lottery four years ago said Saturday that police have done nothing to solve the case.

Meraj Khan took exception to a statement police provided Friday to The Associated Press that the probe into Urooj Khan’s death remains “very much an open and active investigation.” She said the detective in charge of the case has told relatives over the years that he’s too busy with other things to even answer their phone inquiries seeking updates.

“Every time we called them, he hands it to somebody else who says, ‘Oh, we are looking into it,’ ” she said.

“They haven’t done nothing, really.”

The Associated Press sought updates on the case as the medical examiner who first declared it a homicide left office last week with the matter still unresolved. His findings, which reversed an initial ruling that Khan

5-year-old girl among more than a dozen shot in Chicago

CHICAGO – A 5-year-old girl is among more than a dozen people shot so far this weekend in Chicago.

Police said two men were killed and at least 17 others injured in shootings Friday and early Saturday.

The 5-year-old was shot at a graduation party in the city’s Marquette Park neighborhood Friday night.

Police said the girl and a 34-year-old woman were on a sidewalk in front of a home around 8 p.m. when several people walked out of an alley and began shooting, hitting both victims in the foot. Their injuries are not life-threatening.

Police said it doesn’t appear either person was the shooters’ intended target.

Meraj Khan said Saturday it has been years since investigators sought information from the businessman’s daughter, who witnessed events leading up to the July 2012 death after a meal prepared by her step-mother. No one has ever been charged, and the step-mother has denied killing Khan.

WIU trustees vote to eliminate four degree programs

MACOMB – Western Illinois University trustees voted Friday to eliminate African-American studies, women’s studies and two other degree programs because of poor enrollment and low graduation rates.

The trustees’ vote follows a recommendation by provost and academic vice president Kathy Neumann and a study by a program elimination committee.

The university will let students minor in the eliminated program areas, which include philosophy and religious studies.

Trustee board Chairwoman Cathy Early said the decision to eliminate the majors was not one the board took lightly.

“The board got a lot of input and there were a lot of people that contacted us,” she told The

McDonough County Voice.

Western’s registrar’s office said no degrees in African-American studies, two degrees in philosophy, two degrees in women’s studies and one degree in religious studies were conferred in May. Many associated with the university opposed the elimination of the majors. An online petition to retain the philosophy program collected 1,656 supporters.

Since 2014, the medical school and its physician group, SIU HealthCare, have spent about $300,000 in startup costs on SIU Telehealth, the State Journal-Register reported.

SIU Telehealth uses secure

networks and high-quality video and audio to connect residents in central and southern Illinois to specialists in Springfield.

“It’s really about improving access,” said Nina Antoniotti, SIU executive director of TeleHealth and Clinical Outreach, who previously worked at the Marshfield Clinic in Wisconsin.

Antoniotti, a nationally respected authority on telehealth, said Illinois is behind many states when it comes to making health care more accessible to rural areas through telemedicine.

Southern Illinois University, the primary provider of telehealth services in downstate Illinois, already has installed equipment at hospitals in 11 communities, including Decatur, Benton, Carthage, Havana, Pittsfield and Carlinville.

Antoniotti said she expects to have about 50 telehealth sites up and running by July 2017.

Antoniotti said the 20 to 40 patients who will be served this month likely will increase to 400 or 500 monthly by the

end of the year. She said that total could reach 1,000 or more patients each month the next year.

Candy history exhibit highlights Greek-Americans

CHICAGO – An exhibit about Chicago’s candy-making history opens Thursday at a museum in the city’s Greektown neighborhood.

The National Hellenic Museum hosts the exhibit, titled “Sweet Home Chicago.” It tells the stories of the Greek immigrants who ran candy and ice cream shops throughout the city by the late 1800s.

By 1906, one of the nation’s Greek language newspapers reported there were 925 Greekowned candy and ice-cream businesses in Chicago.

The “Sweet Home Chicago” exhibit includes photos, artifacts, a short documentary and activities such as a candy quiz and a candy-wrapping challenge. It was created by the Elmhurst Historical Museum.

Romney loyalists agonize over a future with Trump

By JULIE BYKOWICZ The Associated Press

PARK CITY, Utah – Donald Trump can be an effective president, and he’s going to win with you or without you, Republican Chairman Reince Priebus told several hundred of the party’s top donors and strategists Saturday.

But Trump is setting a dangerous example for Americans by promoting “trickle-down racism,” and the party must look beyond this presidential election to find its future, the 2012 nominee Mitt Romney told the same group later that morning.

Delivered within moments of each other at Romney’s annual business and politics summit at a five-star ski resort, those opposite messages were enough to cause whiplash.

That’s a hazard of being a Republican this year, as the party struggles to figure out what to do with its controversial presumptive presidential nominee.

Blinking back tears as he spoke, an impassioned Romney said many have asked him to get off his “high horse” and back Trump, seeing presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton as unacceptable. “Either choice is destructive,” Romney said. “I love this country. I love the found- Reince ers. I love what this country is Priebus built upon, and its values. And seeing this is breaking my heart.”

Romney said he would not spend time campaigning for or against Trump and predicted 90 percent of Republicans would vote for Trump.

The attendees, about 300 of Romney’s longtime donors and friends, provided a snapshot of the wide range of GOP sentiment about Trump. While most are eager to keep Clinton out of the White House, Trump keeps giving many of them pause, the latest example being his comments that a federal judge’s Mexican heritage prevents him from fairly overseeing a lawsuit against him.

Behind closed doors at the summit, Hewlett Packard President Meg Whitman likened Trump to Mussolini and Hitler and suggested she might vote for Clinton. GOP strategists and vocal Trump skeptics Stuart Stevens, Ana Navarro and Kristen Soltis Anderson told attendees to brace for a Clinton White House because Trump doesn’t appeal to growing voter blocs, including Latinos.

“It’s very difficult to envision” how Trump can win, Anderson said in a rare on-the-record session.

House Speaker Paul Ryan squirmed as he was asked how he could support Trump after denouncing the candidate’s comments about the judge. He demurred, as he did during

AP photo

Republican presumptive presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a rally Friday in Richmond, Va. Whitman’s Trump tirade, saying his leadership position means he must convey the will of Republican representatives, not just his own.

Spencer Zwick, Romney’s former finance chairman and the current one for Ryan, tried to navigate the complex terrain between the two men, the former presidential nominee and his running mate.

“I would love to see the Republican Party come together,” Zwick said. “At the same time, with comments like the one Donald Trump have made recently, I don’t subscribe to that type of rhetoric. And I’m not an elected official. I don’t have to make an endorsement.

There’s no pressure.”

Yet many Republicans at the summit want to find a way – and some can’t.

“For me to jump in, this pivot has to come.

We’re still in primary mode, I guess because it has a reality TV feel. But the pivot has to happen, and it’s not,” said John Rakolta Jr., a former fundraiser and family friend of Romney who lives in Michigan. “I’m an optimist by nature, and I keep hoping and hoping and hoping that there will be a reason to support him.”

Lanhee Chen, Romney’s former policy director, had been feeling the same way – until recently.

“The last two weeks have given me serious doubts as to whether he could beat Hillary Clinton,” said Chen, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution. He said he is particularly bothered by Trump’s personal attacks on Romney, but also sees red flags in Trump’s comments about the judge and seeming unwillingness to build out his campaign infrastructure.

And there were those now firmly on Team Trump. Anthony Scaramucci, a New York investor, and Andy Puzder, a California fastfood chain executive, shook the money trees for their candidate. “This is not a rabidly anti-Trump crowd,” Scaramucci said.

BRIEF Police: St. Louis-area woman drowned 2 kids, set fatal fire

ST. PETERS, Mo. – Police in a St. Louis suburb said Saturday that they believe a 37-year-old woman drowned her two children in a bathtub before dying in a house fire that she appeared to set intentionally.

The St. Peters, Missouri, Police Department said in a statement that it believes Jenny Ayres “played a role” in the deaths of her two children. All three of their bodies were found after officers and firefighters responded to a fire at their home Thursday evening.

The police said the three were the only occupants of the house and, “there has been nothing to suggest any outside foul play.”

When officers and firefighters arrived, the home’s doors were locked and dead-bolted from the inside, police said.

The bodies of the two children, 10-yearold Jordie Hines, and 5-year-old Jada Hines, were submerged in a bathtub.

Preliminary results from autopsies performed Friday showed that the children died from drowning and Ayres died from injuries sustained in the fire, police said.

New forecast model aims to predict height of ocean waves during storm

By MARTHA WAGGONER The Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. – When John Couch is certain a storm will hit Hatteras Island, he goes into action, moving merchandise in his auto parts store from bottom shelves to top ones and hauling away the most valuable items.

But at 64 years old, Couch is less and less enamored of spending eight hours packing up his property. So his ears perked up when he learned about a new forecasting model from the U.S. Geological Survey and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association that’s intended to give a better idea of how much ocean water will overrun an area.

“Any and all information is always helpful,” said Couch, who owns the Lighthouse Service Center and Lighthouse Auto Parts along North Carolina’s Outer Banks. “You don’t want to put up stuff unless you really have to.”

The USGS is running its coastal change forecast model to predict how far a storm’s waves will push water up the beach – whether it will go just to the

dunes, over the dunes, or even farther onto roads and property. Oceanographers are in the pilot stages of a new implementation of the model that would predict beach changes in all weather conditions.

As part of the pilot program, hour-byhour forecasts of potential beachfront changes caused by wave conditions are underway in some areas of North Carolina, Massachusetts and Florida, said USGS research oceanographer Hilary Stockdon. The pilot program runs all the time for all sorts of weather, not just big storms such as hurricanes and nor’easters. Eventually, the forecasts – which give details for the coming days – will be available for all Gulf and Atlantic states up to 102 hours before storms.

The pilot program was running in North Carolina during recent Tropical Storms Bonnie and Colin, but the forecasts aren’t yet available publicly. Officials hope the information for the three states will be online in three months.

“In places like the Outer Banks, there could be a high tide and winds from a particular direction that are going to overwash Highway 12 and cut off

transportation,” Stockdon said, referring to the narrow road that provides the only nonferry access to Hatteras Island. “Those are the kind of events we want to be able to help locals with.”

Since 2011, the model has been used to forecast coastal change during storms that make landfall. USGS used it most recently when Colin made landfall in Florida; researchers are studying the results to determine the accuracy of their forecasts. Those are available to the public through the USGS coastal change hazards portal.

The model adds data about what’s called wave run-up to information on storm surge and tides. That results in a total on the amount of water that will come ashore in any kind of storm, said USGS research oceanographer Joseph Long. Storm surge measures how high the ocean will rise; wave run-up determines how big the waves will be at the shoreline, on top of the rising ocean.

“It’s the addition of the two,” he said.

“They’re both important. In the past the forecasts have only given us the storm surge. ... A lot of times, they’re equally important.”

But while authorities banned a march on International Workers Day last month organized by independent trade unions, they have not targeted labor activists with mass arrests, perhaps fearing a backlash.

Former President Hosni Mubarak kept a tight lid on labor unrest during most of his 30 years in power, permitting only state-controlled unions in a tradition dating back to the days of socialist leader Gamal Abdel Nasser.

But the independent unions began holding protests in the twilight years of Mubarak’s reign, and workers assumed a major role in the 2011 uprising that ended it.

Since then, organized labor has been under intense scrutiny.

Earlier this year, an Italian doctoral student who had been writing his thesis about independent unions was found tortured to death. Giulio Regeni disappeared on the Jan. 25 anniversary of the revolt, when security forces were out in force in central Cairo. Police denied any involvement, but Italy withdrew its ambassador, saying Egypt was not fully cooperating with the investigation.

TEHUACAN, Mexico – The prime suspect in the slaying of 11 family members is an alleged rapist seeking revenge against a victim whose complaint had him jailed, a Mexican law enforcement official said Saturday.

The official told The Associated Press that authorities believe two attackers fatally shot the woman, her family, and other relatives, including two girls. The killers also slashed a male victim believed to be the woman’s partner, and may have tried to decapitate him.

The Puebla state prosecutor’s office said one of the dead women had been raped and had a child by one of the attackers, apparently several years ago.

The killings took place Thursday night in the remote mountain hamlet of San Jose El Mirador, in the municipality of Coxcatlan in the central state of Puebla.

Clemente Hernandez, a leader of the 50-household village, said the two wounded girls were in serious condition, with bullet wounds to the chest and abdomen.

MAHALLA EL-KOBRA, Egypt – Labor activist Kamal al-Fayoumi has lost none of his swagger since being fired from the sprawling Egyptian textile plant where he worked for three decades and was known as an agitator.

Striding through a gritty industrial town in the Nile Delta, he proudly points to workers’ clubs, cooperative grocery stores, cinemas, a pool and a hospital – all of which have seen better days – and brushes off threats from manage- Kamal ment and the police. al-Fayoumi “Our forefathers built this place, it’s in our blood,” he said, looking on the Misr Spinning and Weaving Co., Egypt’s largest factory.

“We shouldn’t be afraid, they should fear us!”

Hard times in Egypt have spurred an increase in labor unrest, even as President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi’s government has largely succeeded in quashing polit-

ical demonstrations over the past two years. Rising prices, low wages and delays in salaries and bonuses have workers vowing more strikes and protests, even at the risk of a violent crackdown.

Since last month, workers have held sit-ins at Alexandria’s port and even in Cairo, flouting a 2013 ban on protests decreed after the military overthrew Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.

Thousands protested at a total of 493 actions in the first four months of 2016, a 25 percent increase from the same period a year ago, according to Democracy Meter, an Egyptian NGO that tracks and verifies protests using multiple sources.

“Labor tried to give el-Sissi a chance.

But you can’t take away people’s rights and fail to fix poverty simultaneously,” said Mohamed Adel, the director of the group. He said the actions range from work stoppages to peaceful marches and pickets.

Security forces have waged a relentless crackdown on dissent since Morsi’s ouster, arresting thousands of his Islamist supporters as well as prominent liberal and secular activists.

Washington’s big oil footprint shrinks with price of crude

By JENNIFER A. DLOUHY Bloomberg

Tumbling crude and natural gas prices have weakened the energy industry’s influence in Washington as cutbacks in the oilfield have spread to the nation’s capital.

Casualties include the army of lobbyists battling new regulations and the rosters of trade groups trying to elect friendly candidates in November.

The Independent Petroleum Association of America has shed about 100 members in the past year, as low prices force oil and gas companies to merge, declare bankruptcy and scrutinize every transaction, including as much as $60,000 they send the trade group in annual dues. At the National Stripper Well Association, officials started a monthly payment plan to keep some members on their rolls. But they’ve still lost about 10 percent of their lineup.

The National Ocean Industries Association slashed 10 percent off its 2016 dues – the first time it’s given an acrossthe-board reduction – to try to keep its roster full. Even the biggest industry group – the American Petroleum Institute – waived dues briefly last year.

“When everybody starts looking at their bottom line, trade association dues can be the first to go,” said Tim Charters, vice president of governmental and regulatory affairs at the stripper well group, which represents the producers, owners and operators of marginal, low-producing wells. “At the same time, this is when you need D.C. representation because the fight is on.

With everything that’s rolling out of this administration and the presidential election on the line, we need to be right here in the middle of the fight.”

The industry already feels battered

The sun sets beyond oil pumping units, also known as nodding donkeys or pump jacks, at an oil plant operated by MND AS in Uhrice, Czech Republic. Tumbling crude and natural gas prices have weakened the energy industry’s influence in Washington, D.C., as cutbacks in the oilfield have spread to the nation’s capital. by a two-year slump in oil and gas prices. Oil prices sunk to a 12-year low of $26.21 per barrel in February. Though oil rebounded slightly, reaching $50.36 per barrel last week, it is still less than half its June 2014 high of $107.26 per barrel.

More than 140 North American oil and gas producers and service compa-

nies have filed for bankruptcy since the beginning of 2015, according to Haynes & Boone, a law firm that tracks industry restructurings. Those that survived did so by cutting costs, including laying off more than 350,000 workers globally and cutting back on new drilling.

Now, those cash-strapped oil and gas

companies have less room in their budget for advocacy in the nation’s capital.

Exploration and production companies spent just $6.2 million on lobbying during the first quarter of 2016 – 17.5 percent less than they did the same time period two years ago, according to public disclosure data analyzed by Bloomberg Government.

big moment in your son’s life! I’m sure he’s

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey proud, and I’m glad he has parents who want to teach him how to grow into a financially responsible young man. I think giving is a really big deal at this age. I’d recommend putting 10 percent toward your church or a good, local charity. It’s very important to teach kids about the spiritual and financial benefits of being a giver. The remaining 90 percent you might split evenly between savings and spending in the beginning. You can always go a little heavier on the savings portion if there’s a concrete goal, like college or a car, in mind. The process of thinking ahead and setting goals is always a good exercise, too. The goal here, in addition to teaching him the value and benefits or work, is to build the muscles of his character. Financially speaking, as parents, we should want our children to grow to be givers, savers and wise, careful spenders. If they become all three of these when they’re young, they won’t be financially irresponsible adults later!

Dear Dave: My mom and dad filed bankruptcy recently and are on a fixed income of $2,200 a month. They gave up their house, and my wife and I helped them find an apartment. We’re also trying to give them other help while they’re getting back on their feet. The problem is, we’re paying off debt and trying to get our own finances in better shape. I think my sister should help out some, too, but I’m not sure how to approach her about this. – Randy Dear Randy: It’s not out of line to ask her to help and then gauge her interest and willingness. I mean, it’s your parents we’re talking about. Still, you can’t force someone to do something they can’t do or simply don’t want to do. Before you approach your sister, you might try working up a monthly budget on your parents. It doesn’t have to be complicated – just a one-page document showing their situation. Let her see that mom and dad are struggling right now, and suggest that you both chip in a little each month until they’re back on their feet financially.

Don’t point fingers or make accusations, because that will ruin things in a hurry.

Family should always try to pull together in times like this, Randy. In most cases, things like this work out fine and family bonds become even stronger.

Dear Dave: Our son is 16, and he just got his first paycheck. He asked us about the best way to manage it, and we’re not sure what to tell him. Do you have any advice? –

Understanding premium assistance credits When filing your 2015 income tax return, one of two things may have affected the amount that you were refunded or the amount you owed: 1. an increase in taxes owed resulting from receiving an excess of premium assistance throughout the year, or 2. receipt of Premium Tax Credit (PTC) due to not receiving sufficient government assistance in paying premiums for health insurance purchased over the exchange. The increased tax liability or tax credit often goes unnoticed until the time of filing your return, and you may have little understanding of why you are paying added tax or receiving a credit.

Beginning in 2014, every taxpayer was required to have some basic level of health insurance coverage either through an employer-sponsored plan or through the individual purchase of policy from a health insurance provider.

Lower-income individuals may have access to policies through their state health benefit exchanges and may receive a Premium Assistance

VIEWS Charlie Caulfield Credit to help reduce the out-of-pocket costs of obtaining health insurance coverage. A qualifying person may choose to receive the credit in advance; however, the actual amount of the Premium Tax Credit (PTC) is determined at the end of the year and is based on the household’s total Modified Adjusted Gross Income and family size.

In essence, the exchange PTC determination is an estimate. Therefore, it is necessary for the recipient to reconcile the Advanced PTC (APTC) amount received with the amount for which they are actually qualified. An APTC recipient must file a tax return that includes a schedule calculating the year’s actual PTC. The credit will be reduced by any part of the APTC used to pay the

taxpayer’s health insurance premiums during the year. If the actual APTC exceeds the PTC, the taxpayer may be required to repay the difference, although there are some provisions to modify this requirement.

In order to receive a Premium Assistance Credit, you must fall within an income bracket that is greater than 100 percent but less than 400 percent of the federal poverty line depending on your family size. For 2016, the federal poverty line is $11,880 for an individual and $16,020 for a family of two. In order to determine your eligibility for the Premium Assistance Credit, go to www. healthcare.gov and search “poverty guidelines”. Your income will determine both the excess premium as well as the amount of premium tax credit received or excess advance premium tax credit owed at year end.

Health care exchanges do not have an accurate understanding of your income throughout the year. Therefore, you should contact your local exchange representative to discuss

any significant changes to your income which may affect the Premium Assistance Credit you are eligible to receive. Such life events include: • An increase in household income including taxable distributions from retirement accounts • A marriage or divorce • The birth of a child or other change to household composition • The gain or loss of eligibility for government or employer sponsored health care coverage • A change of address • A change of employment.

If you have encountered any of these events, please contact your tax advisor and your exchange representative to determine if your premium assistance must be adjusted. Making a timely adjustment could save you monthly income or prevent you from having to repay excess premium credit when you file your return.

OUR VIEW

Pay attention to warning signs, report abuse In 2014, almost 65,800 intimate violence incidents were reported to Illinois law enforcement, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. We don’t know how many went unreported.

From July 2013 to June 2014, there were 84 domestic violence-related deaths in Illinois. Fifteen were children.

Although less For the record than the nationwide rate, 26.9 percent of Nationally, 1 in 3 women and domestic violence 1 in 4 men in the United States homicides were have experienced some form committed with of physical violence by an firearms. intimate partner.

The stats paint an awful picture of our nation’s domestic violence crisis. Again, from the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence: Nationally, 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men in the United States have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner.

Intimate partner violence accounts for 15 percent of all violent crime.

On a typical day, domestic violence hot lines receive about 21,000 calls, or about 15 a minute.

In McHenry last week, reporter Jordyn Reiland reported on another violence-related death that involved intimate partners. Anthony Harrison, 30, was charged Tuesday with the first-degree murder of his wife, Laura Harrison.

McHenry County Coroner Anne Majewski said Laura Harrison died from sharp and blunt force injuries to her neck. Anthony Harrison was airlifted to a hospital for self-sustained injuries. He since has been released and now is in McHenry County Jail.

In the past few months, as we reported Wednesday, Anthony Harrison’s family members became increasingly worried for Laura Harrison’s safety because of Anthony Harrison’s social media posts and behavior. Police records indicate a history of domestic violence that include two counts of domestic battery in December.

Laura Harrison’s death was an awful result to a situation that had warning signs. We highlight it to point out the paths available to prevent similar potentially tragic situations.

If you are a victim of domestic violence or know someone who is, call 911 in an emergency situation or call Turning Point, McHenry County’s domestic violence shelter out of Woodstock, at 815-338-8081, or the national hot line at 1-800-799SAFE for advice and help.

ANOTHER VIEW

Our daughters are counting on us As America grapples with sexual assault on college campuses, the letter a 23-year-old victim read to her attacker in court last week should be required reading.

“Emily Doe” delivered her victim impact statement, a searing 12-page letter, at Thursday’s sentencing of Brock Allen Turner.

The former Stanford University varsity swimmer was convicted on three felony counts related to her sexual assault as she lay inebriated and unconscious in January 2015.

Now 20, Turner is expected to serve three months of a six-month sentence in the county jail and be required to register as a sex offender.

Emily Doe may have failed to persuade the court to levy a harsher sentence, but her words provide a wake-up call to the dangers women face across the nation.

Look no farther south than Baylor University, whose female

students have been dealing with similar violence.

Or to the release last week of a new study, published in the journal Violence Against Women, in which more than half the men who played an intramural or intercollegiate sport reported coercing a partner into sex. The online survey represents a single Division I university in the Southeast, but it reflects a nationwide problem that shows no signs of abating.

That’s why it’s important to read Emily Doe’s entire statement. The ugly, raw details of her physical and psychological injuries will leave you sick at your stomach. So will her months of emotional paralysis as she tried to get back to her “normal life.”

And her description of the grueling judicial preparation painfully illustrates that truism of how rape victims are made to feel they are the ones on trial.

Yet she fought through it and

somehow managed to keep this focus: “According to him, the only reason we were on the ground was because I fell down. Note: If a girl falls, help her get back up. If she is too drunk to even walk and falls, do not mount her, hump her, take off her underwear, and insert your hand inside her vagina.”

Emily Doe also courageously confronts head-on the role of alcohol in sexual assault: “Alcohol is not an excuse. Is it a factor?

Yes. But alcohol was not the one who stripped me ... had my head dragging against the ground. ...

Having too much to drink was an amateur mistake that I admit to, but it is not criminal.”

It’s beyond unjust that Emily Doe had this story to share. Yet in her attempt to sort through the suffering, she has helped us all understand why we can’t ignore this reality, on-campus or off. All of our daughters are counting on us to do better.

IT’S YOUR WRITE

Madigan has complete control

To the Editor: Austin Berg certainly was on point in “How Madigan killed Illinois democracy” (May 27). The speaker has found a way to dodge every check and balance, obliterating the separation of powers doctrine in our state. Madigan holds chairmanship of the Democratic Party of Illinois, leads a veto-proof House majority and appoints all House committee chairs. This unholy trinity gives a man elected by only 1/118th of the state’s population near complete control of the state government. That the voters and politicians of our state allowed Madigan to seize and sustain this level of power is to our long-term detriment and disgrace.

21st century Illinois is clearly not what the framers of the American Constitution envisioned.

Light at the end of the tunnel

To the Editor: There is a light a the end of the tunnel.

VIEWS Cal Thomas What about the references to race and ethnicity that have brought criticism from leading Republicans? I suggested that most Americans don’t care about the civil lawsuit against Trump University (which alleges the university is a scam), the ethnic background of U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is presiding over the case or whether Trump is being treated “fairly.” What Americans care about are jobs, the economy and terrorist threats. Does Trump plan to pivot from such things and start focusing on what resonates with most voters?

“Yes,” he said, “it’s starting very soon.” In a statement released Tuesday, however, Trump addressed the Curiel issue one more time. “It is unfortunate that my comments have been misconstrued as a categorical attack against people of Mexican heritage. I am friends with and employ thousands of people of Mexican and Hispanic descent. ... I do not feel that

Donald Trump said that if he loses the presidential election in November 2016, “I don’t think you’re ever going to see me again.” Yeah!

It sounds just like a 3-year-old, but one can only hope.

Maybe we can get him some help – put him in a mental institution or jail. I really don’t care as long as I never have to see this bellowing idiot again on my TV talking about my great country.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel!

one’s heritage makes them incapable of being impartial ...”

He then vowed not to speak about the matter again.

In our interview, Trump noted he has received more votes than Ronald Reagan. Yes, but primaries are but a small percentage of the larger number of people who will vote in November. A considerable number of them will vote for Hillary Clinton; some conservatives and Republicans will refuse to vote for Trump.

Trump says his formula for making America great again begins with putting the country first: “I hate to use the word ‘change,’ because Obama used to use that word ... but [people] are hungry for real change; they’re hungry for making things right.”

He’s right and both parties share the blame for the dysfunction.

Trump’s plan for reforming Social Security and Medicare, the main drivers of our debt, consists of eliminating “waste, fraud and abuse” and growing the economy to a point where there will be sufficient money to sustain these programs for decades to come.

He promises that the list of judges

provided to him by The Federalist Society and The Heritage Foundation will either be the ones he nominates to federal benches, “or people exactly like them. In fact, I’m going to expand the list by four.”

Trump rejects the notion of a “living Constitution,” preferring the view of the late Justice Antonin Scalia that the document means what it says. He favors school choice, especially for minority children in failing public schools, a position he thinks will help get him African-American votes. He says President Obama, not him, has divided the country, pitting rich against poor and blacks against whites. “I had hoped Obama would be a good cheerleader for the country. He’s really brought the opposite in spirit to the country. He’s a very negative force.” He adds, “If we have four years of Hillary I don’t know if we can ever come back.”

If Donald Trump does adopt a positive view of America that is inclusive of all Americans, he might be able to resonate with a majority of voters.

Will he? We’re about to find out.

Illinois can’t keep borrowing money in the hope that somehow taking on more debt will solve our current debt crisis.

He understands residents can’t afford to pay any more in taxes and that our state government needs to be reformed.

While the Democrats do hold a large majority in the Illinois House, every seat the GOP keeps or picks up means one less vote for more debt and higher taxes.

NEW YORK – If there is one explanation for Donald Trump’s success it is this: Unlike most Republicans, he fights back. He may not have the late Muhammad Ali’s finesse, but he sees himself as more than capable of dealing a “knockout” punch to Hillary Clinton in November. That ought to be the goal of any GOP presidential nominee.

During an interview in his Trump Tower office Monday, I asked about his temperament, a subject often raised by critics. Hillary Clinton recently said he shouldn’t be trusted with the nuclear codes and that he is so thin-skinned he might start a war.

Trump said, “She’s the one who raised her hand for the war in Iraq and I’m the one who has been fighting it from the beginning ... (Hillary) is the one who has a terrible temperament ... she’s weak ... she has a hair trigger, and it’s just the opposite with me. I have a strong temperament. ... I couldn’t have built the strong companies I’ve built if I didn’t have a strong temperament.”

Well, yes, and many considered Teddy Roosevelt just as brash and his likeness made it onto Mount Rushmore.

SUNDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Keep your wits about you this year.

Compensate for past mistakes by tightening your budget and focusing on your gains. Too much of anything will set you back. Emotions will be difficult to control, leading to uncertainty. Don’t make assumptions; you must look for concrete answers before you take action.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Keep your thoughts to yourself and avoid critical people. Look for ways to bring about positive change to your community or surrounding environment. Don’t meddle in the affairs of others.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Plan to make constructive

changes at home. Expanding a space for creative endeavors or inviting friends over for an entertaining afternoon will result in an interesting encounter.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Focus on what’s important to you, not on what others want. Arguing will be a waste of time. Channel your energy into helping others and furthering your own advancement.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Get involved, speak up and share your ideas. Expect to face opposition from someone who demands more of your time. Be prepared to make arrangements to free up some space in your schedule.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)– Taking a trip or making plans with a loved one will have its challenges, but could also lead to a memorable experience. Don’t be afraid to try something new. Romance is featured.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – A proposal will come your way. Weigh the pros and cons and set your sights on initiating the groundwork. Your input will be valued and could lead to a unique opportunity.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Information you receive may sound amazing, but with a little research you’ll be disappointed. You are best off working alone toward a goal you know will bring positive results.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Your ideas will be well received. Participating in causes that concern you will be emotionally draining, but also satisfying.

Don’t be afraid to use unusual methods to get what you want.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Making home im-

provements and searching for your next project are favored. Preparing a perfect space to enjoy with the people you love will bring you closer together.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Be careful how you handle others. Someone is likely to balk at your suggestions. Offer incentives if you want everyone to join your quest. Appeal to people’s emotions.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Take the initiative and do something that will get your energy flowing.

Exercise and a nutritious diet will be key. Romance is encouraged.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Listen attentively and be objective, but in the end, do what you know in your heart is right for you. You will learn a lot from talking to others.

Concern for disabled sister magnified by her cloudy future Dear Abby: My younger sister lives at home with our parents. She suffers from a learning disability as well as some serious mental health issues that are under control. She is a bright, sweet person who – with some help – could become semi-independent. However, my parents have made no serious attempts to encourage this.

She graduated high school 10 years ago and has sought no further education or employment. She spends most of her time in her room playing video games.

I have tried to offer suggestions such as volunteering or joining an organization.

While met with polite positivity, it has inspired no action.

Our parents are getting older, and if my sister isn’t able to live independently, the burden of supporting her will fall on me. I am not permitted to express how frustrating this situation is or how sad it makes me. I am shut out of the conver-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips sation, even though my future and the future of my own family is involved. I live far away, but keep in touch regularly. What can I say or do to encourage change? – The Bad Sister Dear “Bad” Sister: Your parents are doing your sister no favors by keeping her isolated and dependent. This is a conversation that needs to take place with them in person, rather than from a distance.

You and your husband should meet with them face to face. It’s important you understand what financial provisions they have made for your sister in the event of their deaths, and you should know exactly what your responsibilities

will entail.

Years ago, one of my assistants was in a situation just like yours. His younger brother was mentally disabled and lived with their parents until their deaths. At that point, responsibility for the younger brother was left to the older brother.

The parents had assumed the same kind of living arrangement would continue. However, the gentleman who worked with me understood it would not be healthy for either of them, so he arranged for his brother to move to a group home. There, he was able to participate in activities and, for the first time in his life, to make friends. If your sister doesn’t have the skills to live independently, this may be the solution for her, too.

Dear Abby: I’m retired and living full time in my RV. During the summer months, more folks travel as I do, many of them with children. While I think this

is a wonderful experience for families, some parents appear to forget there are others in the campground and allow their children, regardless of age, to roam around unsupervised.

This can be dangerous because large vehicles may not see small children dart into their path. Also, while they might know their neighbors at home, you have no idea who might be parked nearby at a campground. This means unless invited, children (and adults) should not cut through occupied sites.

Just like at home, common sense and courtesy will make camping a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. –

‘Baseball family’ supports Pastor Bill in time of deep sorrow

By MIKE DeFABO

mdefabo@shawmedia.com

H

ome plate umpire Bill Orris peered through his mask, watching the sinking line drive dart into right field. Huntley outfielder Brad Model dove and – splayed out across the fresh-cut grass – he held his glove aloft with the ball inside.

“On the ground,” Orris screamed, signaling that Model trapped the ball.

“On the ground.”

“Jesus Christ,” a fan standing along the right-field fence screamed.

“He caught that ball.”

Had the fan realized the umpire’s profession, he might have been more careful about his word choice. What he didn’t realize is the man in blue

also is a man of the cloth. Umpire Orris also is the Rev. Orris or, as many call him, Pastor Bill.

The 53-year-old has served churches in Washington, Minnesota and Illinois for 28 years. The past four years Orris and his wife, Lisa, have co-pastored Hope Church, an Evangelical Covenant Church in Crystal Lake.

“I love telling people about Jesus,” Orris said. “And guess what? One of the places where I hear Jesus’ name more than in church is on the ball field.”

The Rev. Orris’ dual passions are intertwined. He’s presided over the marriage of several coaches, former players and fellow officials, and his preaching commonly includes stories about the IHSA baseball, basketball

and football games he officiates.

On the sports field, Orris practices what he preaches, showing mercy and grace in the face of confrontation. He can’t remember the last time he ejected someone from a baseball game and, during basketball games, he rarely hands out technical fouls.

A few years back, Orris was umpiring a baseball game with the late Dave Pluda when Pluda ejected one of the coaches. Orris tried to convince him to overturn the call.

“We really should show him grace,” Orris said.

“I don’t care what you show him,” Pluda quipped back, “as long as you show him the door.”

MLB 2016 FIRST-YEAR PLAYER DRAFT

Cubs draft Jacobs’ Heiss MCC pitcher, Jacobs grad Peltier, picked by Texas in 38th round

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com The third day of Major League Baseball’s 2016 First-Year Player Draft was a great day for former Jacobs pitchers.

Brenden Heiss, who just finished his career with the Golden Eagles, was selected by his favorite team, the Cubs, in the 31st round.

Reilly Peltier, a 2014 Jacobs graduate who pitched two seasons at McHenry County College, was picked in the 38th round by the Texas Rangers.

The two were on the 2014 Jacobs pitching staff together as the Eagles won a Class 4A regional championship.

Peltier also pitched the year before on Jacobs’ sectional championship team.

Heiss (6-foot-1, 190 pounds) is signed with Arkansas, so he has a decision to make on whether to sign with the Cubs or go to school. He is working with agent Matt Colleran, of MCA Sports in Chicago, to see what will happen.

“It’s definitely exciting, especially since I got drafted near my hometown,” Heiss said. “My grandpa (LeRoy Leske) was a huge Cubs fan. My family is su-

per excited about that, too.

“My agent and I are going to talk a little bit tomorrow. As of right now, we didn’t get the money (offer) we wanted.

We’ll wait and see if [the Cubs] don’t sign some other guys, and we’ll figure it out from there.”

If some other players drafted higher don’t sign, it could mean a better deal for Heiss, who made his mark as a sophomore with his fastball. Heiss has hit more than 90 mph on speed guns and finished 4-2 with a 1.15 ERA and 44 strikeouts in 362/3 innings this season.

In Heiss’ career, he pitched and won two reReilly Peltier gional games and started a supersectional Jacobs won in 2015. He started his season this weekend with his summer team Top Tier.

Heiss pitched in an Under Armour All-Star Game last summer at Wrigley Field and was there again Monday in a workout for Cubs personnel.

“Brenden was very impressive, he threw well in front of a lot of people in their organization,” Jacobs coach Jamie Murray said. “I’m proud of him. I want nothing but the best for him. He’s a talented kid and he has a bright future ahead of him. He’s just scratching the surface with his ability and where he can go.”

Murray said Heiss’ ability to throw his curveball and changeup made him a more complete pitcher this season, which is something he will continue to develop.

Peltier (6-5, 220) had a preseason workout for Texas and maintained contact throughout the season with the Rangers.

“I thought they were probably my best shot,” Peltier said. “I didn’t know if anything was or was not going to happen. They showed the most interest in me throughout the season.”

Peltier said he got off to a rough start with the Scots, but he finished at 7-2 with a 3.54 ERA and 97 strikeouts in 682/3 innings. His strikeouts were 10th in NJCAA Division II. The Scots had their best team in school history and advanced to the NJCAA D-II World Series.

Peltier did not qualify academically for an NCAA D-I school and has not signed with a college, so he could be more likely to go pro. He is pitching with the Springfield Flyers in a wooden-bat league.

“There was a lot of progression.

He really made a lot of strides,” MCC coach Jared Wacker said. “He pitched our (Illinois Skyway Collegiate Conference)-clinching game and threw a shutout. In our sectional championship game, he started and did well. His best days are ahead of him.”

Huntley defensive end Olalere Oladipo isn’t in a hurry.

He still is working through the recruiting process with several schools, including Tennessee.

On Wednesday, the 6-foot-4, 235-pound defensive end was at his first camp with Red Raiders teammates Caleb Jones and Justin Domingo at Lake Park that included coaches such as Michigan State’s Mark Dantonio. On Sunday, he will head to Illinois for anOlalere other visit as teamOladipo mates Eric Mooney, Jones and Joey Wilson compete.

Oladipo, who has more than 20 offers, now has visited Indiana, Illinois and Northern Illinois multiple times.

His offer list includes Big Ten schools Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Purdue, Penn State, Maryland and Michigan State, along with Illinois State, Central Michigan, Miami (Ohio), Western Michigan, Wyoming, Toledo, Bowling Green, NIU, Buffalo, New Mexico, Syracuse, Duke, Missouri and most recently Cal-Berkeley.

“Offers could still be pending,” Oladipo said Saturday.

Oladipo has spoken with Tennessee recruiting coordinator Terry Joseph and defensive line coach Steve Stripling. His first Southeastern Conference offer was from Missouri.

Schools are recruiting him to play defensive end.

“Some have told me that I have a big frame, so I shouldn’t be surprised if I put on weight and end up at [defensive] tackle,” Oladipo said.

4 CUBS 8, BRAVES 2

Homer-happy Cubs beat Braves

By CHARLES ODUM The Associated Press

ATLANTA – The Cubs’ four home runs gave Jake Arrieta confidence on a day he said he “wasn’t very crisp.”

The reigning NL Cy Young Award winner looked sharp to the Braves.

Arrieta allowed only four hits in seven strong innings and, backed by the homers, made an impressive return to winning form as the Cubs beat Atlanta, 8-2, Saturday.

Jason Heyward gave the Cubs the lead with his first-inning homer, and Anthony Rizzo and Miguel Montero also hit homers in a four-run fourth inning.

After that, it was only a matter of how long Arrieta would last in the heat. The temperature for the first pitch was 94 degrees.

“Pitching with a lead, I always feel pretty confident,” Arrieta said.

Arrieta (10-1) allowed two runs in his answer to his first loss of the season. He described his outing as “OK for my part.”

Armed with the early lead, Arrieta looked almost unbeatable to the Braves.

Cubs catcher Miguel Montero watches his three-run home run ball sail toward the rightcenter-field wall during the fourth inning against the Braves on Saturday in Atlanta.

“It kind of got away from us a little bit, and a little bit is a whole lot with him,” said Braves interim manager Brian Snitker of Arrieta.

Arrieta had two hits as the Cubs’ offense rolled after being held to four hits in a 5-1 loss to Atlanta on Friday night.

Montero’s homer was a three-run shot. Kris Bryant added a two-run homer in the fifth inning.

Rizzo returned after sitting Friday night with tightness in his back.

The Cubs (42-18) own baseball’s best record and have won 13 of 17. They have 22 wins by five or more runs and improved to 38-2 when scoring at least four runs.

Arrieta’s 3-2 loss to Arizona on June 5 was his first since July 25, 2015, and ended a streak of 20 consecutive win-

ning decisions.

“The streak, whatever it was, is over,” he said. “Let’s start a new one.”

Arrieta improved to 7-0 in seven road starts.

Matt Wisler (2-7) allowed five runs on seven hits, including three homers, in four innings.

Wisler has allowed six homers and 13 earned runs in eight innings in his past two starts. He also gave up three homers in a 12-6 loss June 5 at the Dodgers, and has allowed 12 for the season.

The Braves’ first run off Arrieta came in the fourth, when Nick Markakis doubled and then scored on Adonis Garcia’s single to center field. Ender Inciarte’s triple in the seventh drove in Jace Peterson, who walked.

Derby time: The two hits had Arrieta talking about his hitting – and the possibility of joining San Francisco’s Madison Bumgarner in the All-Star home-run derby.

“If he’s in it, I want to be in it,” Arrieta said, adding, “I honestly think that would probably be the most adrenaline I would ever have.”

Arrieta has one homer this year after hitting two in 2015.

CUBS NOTES

Cubs not worried about teams bunting on Lester

BY GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

ATLANTA – If that first time through the Phillies order the other day is a sign of what Jon Lester might be able to expect from teams this summer, the big left-hander and his manager seem to share the same sentiment: Bring it on.

On Monday, two of the first seven batters Lester faced, both speed guys, bunted the ball toward the mound to try to force the fielding-challenged pitcher to make the out.

Leadoff man Cesar Hernandez didn’t get the ball far enough, and catcher David Ross had an easy out.

Then with a runner on and two out in the second, Peter Bourjos put one in front of the mound that Lester started for, then suddenly backed off – too far from Ross for anyone to have a play.

Lester retired the next batter – and in fact has recorded 51 outs since the last run he allowed.

But could he be susceptible to that approach, especially against a younger, athletic lineup such as Sunday’s op-

ponent, the Braves, have? Teams have known for years he has significant trouble throwing to bases.

“It’s easier said than done,” said Lester, who works closely with Ross to control the running and bunting game – with the help of strong corner infield play.

“Everybody says bunt, but just go down the list of the bunters in the league who are good bunters,” manager Joe Maddon said. “It’s the lost art. I mean, the guy’s throwing 94 with a cutter, on your fingertips. It’s not that easy.”

And if starts to become a thing?

“We’ll just react to it, and make adjustments as we go,” Lester (7-3 with a 2.06 ERA) said. “It’s not something that really is too much of a concern going into a start for me.”

Rizzo back: Anthony Rizzo’s back scare lasted only one day as the twotime All-Star returned to the lineup Saturday and hit his 14th home run of the season.

Rizzo, who woke up with tightness in his back Friday and sat out the series opener against the Braves, said he wasn’t sure what caused it.

“Maybe the bed got me,” said Rizzo, who has dealt with similar issues in the past. “But I feel good [Saturday].

“It was just more about being smart about it now instead of trying to be a hero in June,” he added. “It’s a long season, so instead of going out there and pushing it and maybe setting myself back longer, take a day.”

Call to arms: On the third and final day of the amateur draft, the Cubs continued their obsession with pitching, taking 20 more arms among their 30 picks Saturday.

After waiting out the first two rounds without a pick (as compensation for signing free-agents John Lackey and Jason Heyward), the Cubs wound up drafting 27 pitchers with their picks, including 20 college arms (of those, 17 right-handers).

Nine of the 11 hitters they took also were college players, including three outfielders and two catchers.

The Cubs didn’t take a high school player until the 22nd round, when they drafted left-hander Dante Biasi from Maddon’s hometown of Hazelton, Pennsylvania.

ROYALS 4, WHITE SOX 1

Another quality start lost for hurler

By DAVID JUST

For the Sun-Times

AP photo

White Sox starting pitcher Jose Quintana delivers in the first inning against the Royals on Saturday at U.S. Cellular Field. The Sox lost, 4-1.

Royals pitchers retired 17 straight Sox hitters between the third and ninth innings.

Quintana has lost 17 games since the start of the 2015 season, and in those games the Sox’s offense never has scored more than three runs. They have scored zero or one run in 13 of those 17 starts.

“I wish we had an explanation for it, to be honest with you,” outfielder Adam Eaton said. “First thing we come in we’re almost apologizing to the guy because it’s been so difficult to score him runs, and we don’t understand why. … Everyone in this clubhouse feels awful when we can’t produce for him.”

CHICAGO – The White Sox’s offense hasn’t done much lately, but slugger Jose Abreu is showing signs of life.

After a quiet April and May in which Abreu batted only .242 with a .304 onbase percentage, the first baseman had his sixth multihit game in June in the Sox’s 4-1 loss to the Royals on Saturday at U.S. Cellular Field. Abreu singled in the first and third innings, raising his June batting average to .371.

“He’s started to swing it better, and that’s the positive signs that we’re seeing,” manager Robin Ventura said.

“His hands are working better, his bat’s coming through the zone. You expect to see that go up with the conditions that we’re starting to experience here. I think when it’s blowing out, he’s going to hit some more homers.”

Rodon will start Sunday: Carlos Rodon will start the series finale against

the Royals on Sunday, Ventura said.

The left-hander was scratched from his scheduled start Thursday because of a sore neck and discomfort in his left biceps. Rodon threw a side session Friday and played catch before Saturday’s game.

“He said he feels fine,” Ventura said.

Rodon, who has a 4.41 ERA in 11 starts this season, has won only one of Jose Abreu his past seven starts.

Welcome to the show: Sox righthander Tyler Danish struggled in his big league debut, allowing a run, three hits and a walk in two-thirds of an inning.

After entering with one out in the ninthinning,Danishfacedsixbattersand allowed four to reach. He walked Kendrys Morales and gave up three consecutive singles to Salvador Perez, Paulo Orlando and Cheslor Cuthbert.

The Sox purchased Danish’s con-

tract from Double-A Birmingham on Thursday after designating Mat Latos for assignment.

Feeling the draft: Sox first-round draft pick Zack Collins demonstrated why he was such a valuable selection Friday, belting a three-run home run in Miami’s NCAA super regional win over Boston College.

Collins, a catcher taken 10th overall by the Sox on Thursday, has hit 14 home runs this season for Miami.

The Sox continued to prioritize college talent on the final day of the draft by, taking right-hander Ian Hamilton out of Washington State with their first pick of the day in the 11th round.

The Sox also drafted a player whose name is familiar to Sox fans: Brandon Bossard, son of head groundskeeper Roger Bossard, who was taken in the 31st round (926th overall pick).

Brandon is a 6-foot-1, 185-pound shortstop out of Nazareth Academy in La Grange Park.

CHICAGO – Jose Quintana’s luck didn’t change Saturday, and it’s fair to start wondering when – or if – it will.

The White Sox left-hander lost his sixth straight decision in a 4-1 loss to the Kansas City Royals, again the victim of an offense that won’t show up when he takes the mound.

“I’m sure he’s frustrated,” third baseman Todd Frazier said. “He should be.”

And he was.

“I feel frustrated,” Quintana said.

“But I don’t have control over that. I’ll try to come back tomorrow and start preparing for my next start and that’s it.”

Of his past six outings, four have been quality starts, including Saturday’s eight-inning, three-run performance. Quintana gave up three solo home runs – two to Cheslor Cuthbert – and gave his offense every opportunity to win the game.

Instead, Sox batters made Royals starter Danny Duffy look like an AllStar with a career-high 10 strikeouts.

That’s not to say the Sox didn’t have their chances.

Eaton and Jose Abreu led off the first inning by reaching base safely.

Melky Cabrera, the club’s three-hole hitter and hottest bat this season, then put down a sacrifice bunt. Frazier struck out, and Brett Lawrie lined out to end the threat.

The odd decision to bunt was the first question asked of manager Robin Ventura after the game.

“He decided to do that on his own,” said Ventura, noncommittal on whether he supported the call. “He’s up there sensing the situation. I think he thought we could get on the board early by getting them over.”

Frazier took responsibility for the scoreless inning.

“I’ve got to put the ball in play, bottom line,” Frazier said. “Four-hole hitter, I go to do my job. Three pitches.

Pretty embarrassing, to be honest with you. … I didn’t do my job. It’s nothing on him.”

Two batters reached safely in the second and third innings, too, but the Sox never even put a runner on third.

Frazier singled and scored in the ninth for the Sox’s lone run of the game.

The Sox have lost 13 of their past 17 games and 21 of their past 29.

Quintana owns a 5-7 record despite his 2.66 ERA.

8 BEARS

Driven by past, rookie works for NFL future

By PATRICK FINLEY

pfinley@suntimes.com Daniel Braverman is taking an Uber home.

After the other Bears rookies pile into the shuttle for the ride from Halas Hall back to their hotel rooms, Braverman, the receiver taken with the seventh-round pick, walks back onto the field for more work. He stands in front of the JUGS machine and catches 100 footballs at a time.

It’s tedious, if not boring. But Braverman, who had 109 catches for 1,367 yards at Western Michigan last year, treats each extra session as the talisman who keeps failure away.

At his size – 5-foot-10, 177 pounds – he needs to be perfect. As the Bears transition from organized team activities to mandatory minicamp this week, his role on the team is far from guaranteed.

Mentors stressed the importance of work ethic when he was a boy. Braverman went to summer school every year of high school and college, only returning to South Florida from WMU for two weeks a year.

Everyone at the NFL level works hard. But Braverman is obsessive, and for a reason: He knows who was there for him – and who wasn’t.

So he catches passes from the football-throwing machine.

“It’s something I have to get off my chest,” he said. “Just to sleep at night.”

It took Braverman more than a decade to verbalize what, for practical purposes, had been true since he was in second grade: He has no mother.

His took a flight from Florida to Israel when her own mother died, and, shockingly, never returned.

When Braverman’s father, Jamie, realized she never would come back from Israel, he divorced her and was granted custody. He still doesn’t know why she left.

At first she called, blocking her phone number. Once, she reached out on Facebook, but she unfriended Braverman when he asked where she lived.

Braverman worried every time his father left the house that he wouldn’t come home, either.

“I think it gives a kid trust issues, or a sense of being overprotective of people you care about,” Braverman said. “Just fearing the unknown, which is the everyday lifestyle.”

He has spent his life searching for role models to take her place.

“It takes a lot to get him to trust

with,” Jamie said. “He has a lot of faith. He’s a good Jewish kid.”

Daniel studied and prayed in college, and, per tradition, even recently has stopped eating pork.

“I just believe there’s something higher than me and that everything happens for a reason,” he said. “I don’t believe that I’d be with the Bears, or be drafted, if it wasn’t for something special.”

For most of the final day of the draft, it seemed he’d made a terrible mistake. Braverman’s dominance as a redshirt junior – he had 109 receiving yards against Michigan State and 123 at Ohio State – led him to leave WMU one year early. The factors working against him in the draft – his small H.

STANLEY CUP FINAL: GAME 6 – PENGUINS AT SHARKS, 7 P.M. SUNDAY, NBC (PENGUINS LEAD SERIES, 3-2)

Penguins captain Sidney Crosby retrieves the puck after the Sharks scored an empty-net goal in the third period in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final on Thursday night in Pittsburgh. The Sharks won, 4-2.

Penguins are feeling after failing to win the Cup on home ice in Game 5.

Despite being outplayed for much of the series, including the Game 5 win when Pittsburgh outshot San Jose, 46-21, the Sharks know the pressure on the Penguins will only increase if they can win at home to force the win-

ner-take-all seventh game Wednesday night in Pittsburgh.

“I’ve been a part of teams, especially over there, that have lost being up 3-1,” said Sharks defenseman Paul Martin, who spent the previous five years with Pittsburgh. “I think it’s more of a mental thing realizing your opportunity to

NBA FINALS: GAME 5 – CAVALIERS AT WARRIORS, 8 P.M. MONDAY, ABC (WARRIORS LEAD SERIES, 3-1)

In finals, the losses linger more than the wins

By JON KRAWCZYNSKI The Associated Press

Often lost in the euphoria of confetti blizzards and champagne showers of an NBA Finals triumph is the crushing despair just down the hall.

Just last year, an exhausted Le-Bron James sat behind the microphone not long after his fourth career loss in the finals. He had done everything he possibly could have done for the short-handed Cavaliers. He had been trying to end Cleveland’s 51-year championship drought, and it wasn’t enough.

In a moment of unbridled honesty, James wondered if it was all worth it.

“I’m almost starting to be like, ‘I’d rather not even make the playoffs than to lose in the finals,’ ” James said after the Cavs lost to the Warriors in six games. “It would hurt a lot easier if I just didn’t make the playoffs and I didn’t have a shot at it.”

James has won two championships, but a year later his Cavaliers are on the brink of heartbreak again. Now the Cavs head back to the Bay Area trailing Golden State, 3-1, with the Warriors eyeing a sec-

ond straight title in a year in which they won a record 73 regular-season games.

Whether the Warriors finish off the Cavs again in Game 5 on Monday night or James orchestrates one of the great comebacks in sports history, somebody will be left in anguish.

Falling just short after coming so far can be gut-wrenching, an experience that can haunt a player long after his days on the court are over.

“It’s just like here’s a store window, OK? And when you’re little, there’s candy behind that window,” said Lakers legend Jerry West, who went 1-8 in the finals in his Hall of Fame career. “And you can almost touch it but you can’t get there.

“I’ve often said there’s more great stories in losing locker rooms than winning locker rooms. Great stories. And no one cares to go there because this country relishes, as everyone does, they relish winners. But there’s devastated people in that other locker room. Devastated. Unfortunately that’s been the case for me many years.”

West last played an NBA game in 1974, but when he is asked about his finals re-

cord, his eyes turn as cold as they were when he was staring down Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics all those years ago.

“To me, about three [of his losses] I didn’t want to play anymore,” said West, now an executive board member and consultant with the Golden State Warriors. “I just didn’t want to do it. It took so much out of you.”

Former Pistons guard Chauncey Billups has never completely shaken the loss to San Antonio in the 2005 finals. Billups, who earned the nickname “Mr. Big Shot” for his clutch play throughout a 16-year NBA career, likened the pain to mourning.

After winning the title in 2004, Detroit was on the verge of a second crown when Spurs forward Robert Horry interrupted any plans for a parade by making a 3-pointer to win Game 5.

“That was one of the darkest days in my career, man,” Billups said before Game 4 in Cleveland, recalling Horry’s shot as if it had just happened. “That was rough and tough for me. That loss hurt me more than losing Game 7. We thought we had the game won, it was over.”

SAN JOSE, Calif. – No one needs to remind the San Jose Sharks about the difficulties of closing out a playoff series, how each missed opportunity can give confidence to the opponent and plant seeds of doubt in the leading team.

Two years after becoming the fourth NHL team ever to lose a bestof-seven series after winning the first three games, San Jose is trying to pull off a historic comeback of its own in the Stanley Cup Final.

The Sharks look to stave off elimination for a second straight contest and force a decisive seventh game in the final when they host the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 6 on Sunday night.

“The longer it goes, you just feel that pressure, ‘You got to get it done, you got to get it done,’ ” defenseman Justin Braun said. “And when it doesn’t happen, it creates a little frustration and you’re like, ‘We could have been done with this days ago and we’re still going.’ I think that gets in your head a little bit.”

That’s what happened to San Jose in the first round in 2014 against Los Angeles and what the Sharks hope the

finish it off is getting smaller, and each loss gives that other team that much more belief and momentum that they can get it done and pull it off.”

No team has lost the Stanley Cup Final after going up 3-1 since Toronto rallied to beat Detroit in 1942 after losing the first three games of the series.

But the Penguins have had problems closing out their playoff series in recent years. Since winning their third Stanley Cup in 2009, they have blown series leads three time in the previous six postseasons.

They lost to Montreal in 2010 after going 3-2 in the series and then squandered 3-1 edges in losses to Tampa Bay in 2011 and the New York Rangers in 2014.

Now they lost in their first chance to close out the Sharks.

“I thought our guys did a really good job of handling it the right way,” coach Mike Sullivan said. “It was unfortunate that we didn’t get the result we were looking for. But we’re playing a very good opponent and we know that. We know this is the most difficult win to get. Our players are well aware of the expectations and the heightened intensity that we need to have in order to get this next win.”

Court affirms $3M verdict for Gordie Howe just before death

DETROIT – A day before Gordie Howe’s death, the Michigan appeals court upheld a $3 million verdict in his favor in a lawsuit over the loss of tapes, videos and personal documents belonging to the Hall of Fame hockey player.

Howe and an affiliated company, Power Play International, had sued former managers over the failure to return certain possessions. Truckloads of merchandise and memorabilia were returned in 2008.

But the Howe family learned that more than 1,000 videos, CDs and DVDs had been destroyed.

The managers claimed destruction was part of an earlier agreement. But a suburban Detroit jury in 2013 awarded $3 million to Howe and Power Play.

In a 3-0 decision Thursday, the appeals court said there was no “reasonable excuse” for the destruction. Howe died Friday.

A key defendant in the lawsuit, Del Reddy, filed for bankruptcy protection in 2015.

Berger shoots 1-under 69 to keep lead at St. Jude Classic

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Daniel Berger has yet to win on the PGA Tour. He’s confident enough to believe that’s just a matter of time, and he has put himself in position to make the FedEx St. Jude Classic his first title.

Having Phil Mickelson and Steve Stricker only three strokes behind isn’t shaking his self-assurance either.

“If it was Tiger Woods behind me, I would have the same mentality,” Berger said Saturday after a 1-under-par 69 that left him with the same three-stroke lead he had after 36 holes.

Berger, the 2014-15 rookie of the year, had led after a round on tour only once before, in 2014. Now he has led consecutive rounds, and Berger had four birdies, a bogey and a double bogey on a hot, sticky day to reach 10-under 200.

Mickelson (68), Stricker (66) and Points (64) were 7 under.

Seung-yul Noh (67), Colt Knost (67) and Brooks Koepka (69) were 6 under.

played along. After the final out, Orris explained why he had been calling him Vassili the whole game.

“I can’t imagine,” Loggarakis said.

“It was terrible to hear that. Mr. Orris is an awesome man. He’s always giving up his time for other people. It was kind of heartbreaking to me.”

Billy Loggarakis

It’s Sunday, and Hope Church is alive with music and worship. A bearded young man strums an acoustic guitar. A drummer bangs on the snare and crashes into the cymbal, while two female vocalists belt out the worship hymns.

In the front row, alongside Lisa, Orris claps along to the beat of the music. It’s a beautiful modern church with high ceilings.

Orris stands in front of his congregation. Without a chest protector or a mask to shield him, he speaks with vulnerability and authenticity.

“Father, we have family and friends that are hurting,” Orris said.

“Some are physically ill. Thank you for nurses and doctors and medical staff. We have family and friends that are hurting emotionally and spiritually. Lord, you know each of these situations.”

For a moment, Orris’ voice wavered the same way it did on the ball field during that Glenbrook South game. Without saying anything, it was clear why.

Although time and family support have helped ease his pain, Orris still battles the tough emotions and asks the questions that have no answers.

But still, in this church and on the diamond, through his faith and through his baseball family, he is reminded that even in the valley of despair, there is hope.

Glenbrook South catcher, on learning about the death of umpire Bill Orris’ son, Billy in the fall, Orris’ crew stitched Billy’s initials, “WEI,” on their caps in his memory. And during baseball season, at the Nazareth Academy game, the entire team came onto the field one by one and each offered their condolences to Orris.

Officiating began as a hobby for Orris. He achieved the highest honor for an official when he was selected to work the state championship three times for baseball and three times for football. But now, it has transformed into something more.

“In the midst of my pain and my grief, which is so real ... ” Orris said, his voice crackling for a moment.

“It’s been a healing process for me to continue to officiate.”

As a Glenbrook South pitcher warmed between innings, Orris counted the pitches silently to himself. After the fourth one, Orris called out to Glenbrook South catcher Billy Loggarakis, “Hey Billy. Throw it down.”

Suddenly, Orris was overcome with grief.

When he said the name – Billy – so

loud, tears welled in Orris’ eyes, as memories of his Billy came flooding back, hitting him like a fastball to the ribcage.

For a moment, the game stopped.

Maine South coach Bill Malano offered Orris a cup of water.

For Orris, there are constant reminders of his first-born son. When he meets a guy in his 20s, he sees his son’s face. When he walks out into the field, he sometimes looks into the sky and he feels his stomach sink, as he remembers how much Billy loved the outdoors.

Orris pulled on his mask, determined to finish the game. The next inning, Orris heard players calling the Glenbrook South catcher by his last name, Loggarakis, and recognized it was Greek.

“Christos Anesti!” Orris said in Greek. (Christ is risen!)

“Alithos Anesti!” Loggarakis responded. (Truly, He has risen!)

Orris remembered from his studies in the seminary the Greek translation for Billy is Vassili. This time, when he asked Loggarakis to throw the ball down to second he said, “OK, Vassili, throw it down.”

“Nobody ever calls me that, except maybe my grandparents,” Loggarakis said.

Loggarakis was puzzled, but he

Orris is hard to miss on the baseball field, with his flamboyant mechanics and a strike-three call that his fellow umpires have nicknamed the “bird call.” He’s the kind of guy who greets others with hugs instead of handshakes and asks strangers questions with a genuine curiosity until they become friends.

Yet, underneath his mask and behind his ever-present smile, Orris is a man who is hurting, as he still struggles with the death of his 26-yearold son, Billy.

On Aug. 1, a car crashed into Hope Church, knifing through the nursery and into the main worship room.

Orris said at the time that it was a miracle no one was injured. The next day, Orris and Lisa led the service outside under a turbulent sky. It would be the last service Orris’ son, Billy, would attend.

Less than a week later, a second accident tore a hole in their hearts.

On Aug. 7, the Orris family planned to celebrate their second son, Michael’s, 21st birthday at a Harry Connick Jr. concert. Billy was riding his motorcycle to pick up a few last-minute supplies before joining the family when he was struck by a vehicle.

Billy’s last words to his father – “I love you” – still echo in his head.

The memorial prayer card at his wake depicts Billy’s bright eyes. He’s smiling. The same smile his father shares on the ball field. On the reverse side of the card is Billy’s favorite psalm.

“Praise to the LORD, my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in who I take refuge.”

In Orris’ time of sorrow, he sought refuge in his religion, in his family and in his “baseball family.”

Jeff Siegel, who assigns umpires games, started a You Caring page to raise money for the funeral expenses.

Officials from baseball, basketball and football, coaches, members of the church and family members contributed more than $15,000.

“He’s obviously touched a lot of people over time,” Siegel said. “Everybody kind of pitched in. We figured everyone can come together and at least ease the financial burden from them.”

More than 1,000 people came to the funeral. Jacobs baseball coach Jamie Murray brought his whole staff. CaryGrove baseball coach Don Sutherland, at the time the president of the Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association, told Orris he was there to express the condolences of all of the coaches.

COPA AMERICA: UNITED STATES 1, PARAGUAY 0

12

By RONALD BLUM

The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA – Protecting a lead after Clint Dempsey’s first-half goal, the United States’ Copa America planning suddenly was upended.

DeAndre Yedlin got a pair of yellow cards 57 seconds apart just into the second half for two rash tackles, forcing the U.S. to play a man short against Paraguay for what turned out to be 49 fretful minutes.

Defenders held the back line, goalkeeper Clint Dempsey Brad Guzan made an outstanding double save in the 82nd minute and the U.S. held on for a 1-0 victory Saturday night to reach the Copa America quarterfinals.

“We stuck today,” defender Geoff Cameron said. “Everybody sacrificed.”

Hosting a special expanded 100th anniversary edition of South America’s championship, the Americans (2-1) won Group A on goal difference over Colombia (2-1), which was upset, 3-2, by already-eliminated Costa Rica. By finishing first, the Americans might avoid

148TH BELMONT STAKES

Creator wins in an upset

By RICHARD ROSENBLATT The Associated Press

NEW YORK – The finish was dramatic, even without a Triple Crown on the line.

Creator found an opening in the stretch and ran down Destin in the final stride to win the $1.5 million Belmont Stakes by a nose – the closest possible margin of victory. Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr., pointed to the sky in an appropriate winning salute given the horse’s name.

“Today was perfect for us by inches,” said Steve Asmussen, who will be inducted into racing’s Hall of Fame this summer at Saratoga. “Being the victor of the Belmont Stakes will look good on that plaque.”

The 50-year-old trainer has won more than 7,300 races, including the Preakness with champions Curlin in 2007 and Rachel Alexandra in 2009. He was taken off the Hall of Fame ballot last year, however, because of allegations made by PETA about the way he treated his horses. He later was cleared by racing authorities in Kentucky and New York.

The 11/2-mile “Test of the Champion” wraps up the Triple Crown a year after American Pharoah’s run to glory in becoming the first horse in 37 years to sweep the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont. A different horse won each leg – Nyquist took the Derby and Exaggerator won the Preakness.

This was Creator’s day, a hot, sticky one at Belmont Park with temperatures in the mid-80s. Exaggerator, the 7-5 favorite in the field of 13,

raced well back in the pack, appeared to make his way back into contention but just didn’t have his usual finishing kick. He finished 11th.

A 3-year-old gray colt, Creator came flying down the stretch as Destin tried to hang on to the lead. He almost made it, but settled for second with Japan-based Lani a closing third.

“I’m glad to see him put that number up; they came to the wire together,” Asmussen said of the Creator-Destin showdown. “Irad gave him a dream trip. The horse ran super.”

Creator, sent off 16-1, returned $34.80, $14.60 and $9.40. Destin, trained

by Todd Pletcher, returned $9.40 and $6.20 and Lani paid $6.60. The winning time was 2:28.51. The first three finishers were gray colts.

Governor Malibu was fourth, followed by Stradivari, Brody’s Cause, Cherry Wine, Gettysburg, Suddenbreakingnews, Trojan Nation, Exaggerator, Seeking the Soul and Forever d’Oro. Creator was one of several closers in the field, and the race set up perfectly for him. Gettysburg was a late addition to the field. Both horses are owned by WinStar Farm.

a quarterfinal matchup with Brazil.

The U.S. plays Thursday night at Seattle, most likely against Ecuador or Peru, with the matchup to be determined by Sunday’s Group B finals.

“I think that we could possibly do something special here,” Dempsey said.

With the Americans playing for the third time in nine days, U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann started the same lineup for the third straight game – something done only once before in U.S. national team history, in its three matches at the 1930 World Cup. Dempsey scored for the second straight game, getting his 51st international goal in the 27th minute to move six behind Landon Donovan’s American scoring record.

Gyasi Zardes received a pass from Michael Bradley, ran along the left flank and slowed. Marked by Paulo Da Silva, who made his record 137th appearance for Paraguay, and Victor Ayala, Zardes spurted to the endline and crossed. Dempsey sprinted into the penalty area as the trailing runner and from 8 yards one-timed a left-footed shot past the leg of sliding defender Fabian Balbuena and under the left arm of diving goalkeeper Justo Villar.

EnvironmentTip Super simple travel tips keep environment in mind Before heading off on summer vacation, remember these easy ways to be a conscientious traveler: Driving? Avoid peak travel times. Traveling on off-peak days can prevent you from hitting congested highways and

sitting in traffic.

Flying? Avoid layovers.

Frequent takeoffs and landings use more fuel, and the pollution emitted on night flights has a more detrimental impact on the climate.

Pack light. Extra weight causes airplanes and cars to lose efficiency and use more fuel to

travel. Leave the kitchen sink at home.

Be an Ecotourist. Whether going far or near, add into your trip adventures that include learning about the intricacies of our natural world and/or advocacy to protect the environment and local communities. It will make you feel good, and you will be

contributing instead of taking.

Now that’s making a memorable trip.

Local residents learn to grow their own vegetables through Garden Connect, a pilot program launched by the Northern Illinois Food Bank, The University of Illinois Extension and community partners, including the McHenry County Department of Health. The program connects Crystal Lake Food Pantry patrons with volunteer gardening experts to show them how to grow their own food on land donated by Nunda Township in its township garden plot.

GROW TOGETHER New program teaches families who use area food pantries to grow their own vegetables in Nunda Township garden

John Konstantaras – For Shaw Media

Donna Volpi of Crystal Lake plants seeds at her Nunda Township garden plot June 4 in Crystal Lake.

Lee Jennings looked through his office window and over the 3 acres of well-mowed grass and forest land outside.

There was always something happening out there: boy scout and girl scout meetings, camp outs, cookouts.

He got to thinking, “It’s land that is just mowed.

Why not get more people involved out here?”

That’s when the idea to launch a local startup organization hit him: Make some of the land available to volunteers, let them grow vegetables and donate the produce to those in need.

His startup became the half-acre garden plot behind the Nunda Township supervisor’s office in Crystal Lake, where Jennings works as the township supervi-

sor. Last year, the garden produced nearly 1,000 pounds of fresh vegetables that were donated to local food pantries.

This year a new program has been introduced to the garden to do even more good. Shelbi Ball, a community garden coordinator for the Northern Illinois Food Bank, created Garden Connect, a pilot program that teaches food pantry clients to grow their own vegetables in the Nunda Township garden.

Carol Waggoner, a public health nurse and health educator for the McHenry County Department of Health, said 10 families had signed up for a garden plot.

“Each family gets their own allotment of garden space that they can use to grow veggies and take home with them,” she said.

LAURA QUINN

Hometown: Barrington Latest Book: “Punk Charming” Publisher: Eternal Press Release Date: Nov. 3, 2015

What’s your book about?

1986 – Shoulder pads are big, hair is bigger, and American college student Kate Spenser is set to embark on the biggest adventure of her life.

Having been accepted to a summer study-abroad program in Oxford, England, Kate travels to Europe for the first time.

The 18-year-old is psyched about a summer of exploring countries on her own, experiencing new cultures and perhaps meeting a charming young man along the way. Armed with a French-English dictionary and her Walkman loaded with Duran Duran, Kate is ready to start her adventure in France. Little does she know what awaits her when she arrives, and how she must use her wits to escape peril in Paris. Fortune favors Kate when she meets her Punk Charming, and it’s love at first sight. Now, if she could only find him again!

James Barrington meets his soul mate while on the run from Paris. Mis-cues and sabotage prevent him from reuniting with Kate, but he can never forget her. If only he had told her the truth before it was too late. Or is it?

Can true love conquer all?

Where did the idea come from?

The spark of an idea came to me during my first trip to Europe. Although this is a fictional story, I did meet a very engaging Brit on a train. Although there was no romance (unlike in the book), my writer’s imagination began to conjure up a “what if” story. Fast forward several years to a creative writing class I was taking, when I wrote a short story related to that trip. My writing spilled over from that short story and evolved into “Punk Charming.”

What genre is your book, and why were you drawn to it?

“Punk Charming” is at its heart a love story. I set out to write a fiction novel, celebrating life in the 1980s and exploring beautiful cities along the way. As I wrote the chapters, I found the story gravitating toward a search for the “one who got away.” I’m drawn to stories that focus on the characters, ones that make you feel as if you’re in the scenes, experiencing life with them.

This is true in my roles as reader and writer. Not surprisingly, my author’s take on a romantic story traces the path of true love rather than illustrating passionate scenes.

Who is the intended audience?

I’m a bit surprised by the range of ages attracted to “Punk Charming.” I expected people of my generation to be interested, as much of the book is set in the 1980s. However, it turns out much younger readers are fascinated with that time period. When I wrote the scenes, I included many pop culture references to set the tone. Even if you didn’t live through the totally awesome decade of the ’80s, you get a sense of what it was like.

Beyond the appeal of the 1980s, readers tell me they enjoy my story as an escape from the everyday. People interested in travel and the intricacies of relationships (both good and bad) will enjoy this story.

Why is this story important to you?

The past several years have been difficult for many people. It was important to me to write a fun story, to provide an engaging diversion. That said, it was equally important to me to weave in some meaningful issues.

My female characters must engage their strength and ingenuity to overcome some tragic and frightening circumstances. It also was important to me to recognize the tremendous sacrifices paid by members of the military and their family. Pet rescue is a pet cause of mine (pardon the pun!), so I wanted to include some references to pet adoption in the story. Some of the pet stories are directly influenced by my furry kids (who have trained me better than I could ever have hoped to train them).

How long did it take you to write? What was your process?

If you consider the time elapsed from “Punk Charming’s” spark as an idea to its being published, it has been rather a long stretch. From the time I realized it would be a novel, I would say it took about six years to write (and rewrite!).

Writers often are split into two camps – “pantsers” and “plotters.” I definitely fall into the former, letting the story tell itself. I also am a late-night writer, finding my most creative and productive periods to begin at about 11 p.m. and often flowing into the wee hours of the morning.

What did you enjoy most about writing this book? What was the hardest part?

What I enjoyed most also was the hardest part.

Writing descriptive scenes of the 1980s was a fun trip down memory lane. I rediscovered the music, foods, TV shows, films and fashions that made the decade so vibrant. However, since my story progressed along a specific timeline, I had to ensure all my facts were accurate. This re-

quired quite a bit of research. If I shifted a scene in time slightly, I had to ensure all the references still were accurate. Given the rapid progression of technology, plot lines easily could be derailed by quickly evolving machines.

How are you publishing this book and why (traditional/indie/self-publishing)?

This book is traditionally published by Eternal Press. I liked the idea of a small press, as it allows for greater interaction between publisher and author. As “Punk Charming” is my debut novel, I appreciated that extra attention.

What is your education/background?

After I graduated from DePaul University with a BA in Communications, I studied writing at Northwestern University’s Graduate School. I earned my master’s degree in liberal arts from the University of Chicago. Like my character, Kate, I also was fortunate enough to attend classes at Oxford University during a glorious summer term.

What’s next for you?

I’m working on a sequel to “Punk Charming” and a new mystery series.

“PUNK CHARMING” AVAILABLE: Amazon. com, BarnesandNoble. com and Lulu.com.

Questions? Visit northwestcommunitycounseling.com

AA, mindfulness have much in common I received a request to read a manual about a “recovery technique” the other day, and I thought I’d share it with you. The model involved what is called “mindfulness.”

I was talking about this to a recovering person I met, and he said, “What the heck is that?” So I tried to explain.

I said “mindfulness” is staying in the moment, paying attention to what’s happening right now – and I mean right now. It would be like paying attention to your breathing; breathing in, breathing out. It would be like being aware of sensations and feelings in the moment – “I’m sipping my coffee. It smells good. It’s too hot to gulp” – etc.

My recovering friend looked quizzically at me and said, “What does that have to do with recovery?” Good question.

Let me see if I can explain. Not only do alcoholics and addicts need to “clean house” regarding character issues, but they need to find a new way to live – a way to keep the house clean. A lot of the issues come from either living in the past (resentments, trauma, old fears) or living in the future (anxiety, fear of failure, feeling overwhelmed). A good deal of the internal chaos is caused by reacting to old stuff or to stuff that hasn’t happened.

On the “old stuff” end there might have to be a process of release or

letting go, and on the “future stuff” there might have to be an increase in the awareness of how frequently we run “what if” movies. If a person can learn to remain a little closer to the moment, to right now, they are less likely to be reactive to the past or future, thus calmer and more centered.

“Well, in AA we have this saying, ‘One day at a time.’ Is it something like that?” he asked. “We also have a saying that goes, ‘Do the next right thing.’ Is it something like that, too?”

I thought about it for a bit and said that’s exactly what it is. Mindfulness is a good word to describe what you’ve been taught. The trick is to put the process into practice and to have mental and emotional remind-

ers in place to trigger the process. A daily practice of quieting the mind is suggested.

“Oh, you mean like the quiet time and reading I do every day? I guess my practice is going to meetings where I’m reminded of the principles of recovery.”

“Yup,” I said. ”I think you’ve got it.”

I pitched the manual.
