GPS now rides shotgun with road atlas of the U.S.

I believe in state highway maps to get me from one place to another anywhere in these United States.

The past two summers of cross-country road trips were roughed out on a 2012 Rand McNally road atlas of the United States, and they were refined on state highway maps as we entered new states. We now have an almost complete set of road maps for states west of the Mississippi. I enjoy unfolding them and looking at them, just out of curiosity.

We are missing North Dakota, Washington and Kansas, and we have been to Kansas, if only for five miles on our way out of Missouri into Oklahoma, hardly enough time to get a feel for Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz. But we were there, and that’s what counts, even if we don’t have a map to prove it.

Maps tell you what is up ahead, what towns you are approaching and how many you are leaving behind as you wend your way across the state. Maps show progress while you’re driving, knocking down miles as the hours pass and you head toward your destination.

When we get a new state map, I transfer the route from the atlas to the map, using a yellow highlighter to show the way, then I hand the map over to my good wife, The Navigator.

She’s not really up for long-distance driving, and that’s what I’m all about, but I can easily become discombobulated if I don’t have a Navigator to tell me where to turn or how far it is to the next town with a gas station.

And I take full responsibility for sending us on our way on the wrong exit ramp onto Interstate 70 after gassing up near Sterling, Colorado.

I thought for sure the sign said east I-70 when it was, in fact, west I-70. I knew almost instantly I was on the wrong ramp, but there was nothing I could do about it. Luckily, the next off-ramp was only 10 miles down the road. At about the same time I realized I was on the wrong ramp, my good wife, The Navigator, was suggesting we were headed in the wrong direction. Oh well.

That’s why I need a Navigator before I rush headlong into the wrong direction.

But my reliance on maps has diminished over the years, much to my chagrin. It all started with MapQuest, which takes you from your front door to your destination in easy-to-follow steps, each turn onto a new road taken into account and telling you how far it is to your next turn.

I’ve been relying on MapQuest to get me around McHenry County and the suburbs for what seems as long as I can remember. No road maps are involved, but you can print out step-by-step directions to follow as you drive along.

I don’t know what I’d do without it. Maps aren’t that detailed to get you to a specific

WHERE IT’S AT

VIEWS Dick Peterson address. So you do what you have to do, and you resort to MapQuest. Maps are only so good.

And that’s where the smartphone comes in. It totally takes control of navigation, and it requires a user who is adept at it. My good wife has a smartphone that does just about everything a computer does. And takes pictures. I have a dumb phone. Duh. The smartphone comes with a global positioning system, or GPS, and it knows precisely where you are, and can tell you exactly how to reach your destination. And by tell you, I mean it talks to you, and it tells you when to turn, preparing you a half-mile ahead, a quarter-mile ahead, a thousand feet ahead.

When she first got it, I didn’t want anything to do with it. That’s why we have maps. Alas, that’s why we have MapQuest. I didn’t like the sound of the woman’s voice. She sounds like a distant relative of the strange computer voice on the “Star Trek” TV series, which envisioned people talking to computers, and receiving answers, in 1966. Yes, this is the 50th anniversary of “Star Trek.”

I hate to admit it, but we never would have made it to our motels along the way without the talking GPS. I booked the motels ahead of time, not exactly sure where they were in relation to the interstates we were traveling. I suppose I could have asked MapQuest for directions, but that would have been a lot of paperwork. And, I thought in the back of my mind, my good wife, The Navigator, has GPS on her smartphone.

Gulp. Catch up with the times, Dick. Trust The Navigator.

I am a convert to the talking GPS. It’s incredible. It knows exactly where you are and how long it will take to get there. You just feed in the address, and it will take you there, step by step, with plenty of warning of when to turn, even which lane to be in. And if you miss a turn, the GPS doesn’t sigh and call you an idiot, it simply revises the course. Not once did I feel offended by the GPS. I still need my maps and MapQuest, but I’ve accepted GPS into my life. It gets me where I’m going.

What do Michael Walkup and Jack Franks offer? Party leaders weigh in.

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com Two political known quantities are running for a race in uncharted territory – the first-ever race for a popularly elected McHenry County Board chairman.

Republican County Board member Michael Walkup, R-Crystal Lake, who narrowly won the March primary over the incumbent chairman, will face off Nov. 8 against Democratic state Rep. Jack Franks, whom the party picked to run last month. Both are well-known – Walkup’s family dates back to the county’s very founding, and Franks, D-Marengo, has served 18 years representing the 63rd Illinois House District, which covers western and northern McHenry County.

Both have to make their cases to voters countywide, who chose in a 2014 referendum to directly elect the board chairman and end the long-standing practice of the County Board’s 24 members deciding it themselves. And the leaders of both major county political parties – McHenry County Republican Party Chairwoman Sandra Fay Salgado and Democratic Party of McHenry County Chairman Michael Bissett – said they believe their candidate will end up victorious in this first chairman campaign.

Salgado said Walkup’s experience on the board makes him the best choice.

Voters in the board’s District 3, which includes Nunda, southeastern McHenry and northeastern Algonquin townships, elected Walkup in 2012 as one of their four board representatives. Walkup is still running for that seat so he can continue to vote on issues, which a chairman cannot do. State law allows both offices to be held by one person.

“One of his greatest strengths is his experience sitting on the County Board. Walkup has been in this community his whole life, and since he’s been on the board he’s advanced new things and made changes that have been beneficial for county government, and have played a big role in deducting expenditures and maintaining our fiscal stability,” Salgado said.

Bissett, on the other hand, said Franks’ years as a state lawmaker – a Democratic representative of a Republican county – showcase his leadership

“There are probably just as many Republicans thinking about voting for Jack Franks as are thinking about voting for Michael Walkup. He’s got a real challenge there.”

Michael Bissett

Democratic Party of McHenry County chairman and legislative skills.

“First of all, he’s got a lot of credibility with what he’s been able to accomplish as a state legislator. He’s shown his independence, his ability to work across the aisle, and a very strong persistence to get legislation passed, even when it’s not popular in Springfield. I think County Board chairman is a position that’s going to require someone with a very strong management style, who can herd the cats, so to say,” Bissett said.

Franks and Walkup both have to

make their cases to voters outside of their districts who have never voted for them, especially the voter-rich southeast corner of McHenry County. Bissett said Franks’ record on fighting for smaller government and government transparency, and fighting against tax increases, make him in some ways better known than Walkup.

“Even people who are not in the 63rd District know his reputation on those issues,” Bissett said.

Salgado said Walkup is not only known, but also has a powerful Republican Party presence in the area to back him up.

“I think that there’s already name recognition with Walkup, and we are very strong as a Republican Party in these areas. We’re very confident that [votes] are not going to be an issue in that area,” Salgado said.

Both sides also took aim at the bona fides of their opponents.

Salgado questioned Franks’ record against what it has actually meant for beleaguered county taxpayers, and alleged that Franks’ independence on issues has been solely at the whim of Democratic House Speaker Michael

Madigan. She also said that Franks’ long history of going after the County Board, from the failed county executive push to instigating the ongoing investigation by the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund over board members’ pension eligibility, will make him incapable of forging relationships.

“Jack has been real good at getting things in the paper, but not a lot has come to fruition or helping McHenry County in any way,” Salgado said.

But Bissett alleged that Walkup has stepped on more than a few toes himself among the County Board and the county department heads he hopes to one day lead. He said Walkup has “proven to not be a good team player,” and pointed to his razor-thin victory in the March primary over incumbent chairman Joe Gottemoller.

“There are probably just as many Republicans thinking about voting for Jack Franks as are thinking about voting for Michael Walkup. He’s got a real challenge there,” Bissett said.

Should Walkup win both the chairmanship and his County Board seat, he will not collect a salary above the $82,200 of the chairmanship.

D-19 closes purchase of land owned by board president’s father-in-law

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HEBRON – Alden-Hebron School District 19 has purchased nearly 80 acres of land from a landowner with family ties to the school board.

In March, the Northwest Herald learned from documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request that the district planned to buy the land at Price and Kemman roads from Daniel Walters of Hebron.

In addition to being a longtime farmer of corn and soybeans, Daniel Walters also is the father-in-law of school board President Susan Walters, which she confirmed by email.

Superintendent Debbie Ehlenburg said via email and a news release the purchase closed May 20 for $756,599.

“We have no immediate plans for the land and none in the near future, but we recognize that eventually we are going to

have to either significantly repair and upgrade the Middle/High School or build a new school,” Ehlenburg said in the news release.

The middle and high school building is more than 90 years old and sits on five acres, Ehlenburg said in the release. She said the new land is meant to present the district and the community with options for the future.

According to minutes from the May 17 school board meeting, the land purchase was approved with board members Eugenia Linneman, Andy Madsen and Ken Winkelman voting yes; Susan Walters abstaining; and Chris Olson, Johnny Eskridge and Mike Norton absent.

“I abstained due to the fact that the land was being purchased from my father-inlaw and didn’t want there to be a question about conflict of interest,” Susan Walters said in an email.

Ehlenburg has previously said she and the members of the school board were

aware of the relationship from the beginning. Ehlenburg contacted the district’s attorney, Scott Nemanich of Hinshaw and Culbertson LLP, who told her there was no conflict.

A 10-year Health, Life and Safety review completed in the 2015-16 school year indicated work on the middle and high school building needs to be addressed in the next five years, Ehlenburg said in an email. She said a facilities study indicated the cost to upgrade the high school and middle school building’s heating and plumbing could approach one-third the cost of a new school.

Ehlenburg said the land was purchased through the district’s reserve funds without borrowing. The district explored other parcels of land, she said, but the one at Price and Kemman roads was the least expensive and closest to the elementary building.

Ehlenburg and Susan Walters could only be reached by email, despite multiple attempts by the Northwest Herald for phone interviews.

WOODSTOCK

String academy expected to be newest tenant in Old Courthouse; City Council agreement passed with condition concerning space

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A new tenant may soon be filling a space in Woodstock’s Old Courthouse.

The Woodstock City Council was set to vote on an agreement with Talia Pavia String Academy to rent out the front office space in the building; however, the agreement was passed with a condition after a representative from the nonprofit Woodstock Celebrates said it has been occupying the space since January.

“I think this is unfortunately a miscommunication somewhere between our city staff, Mr. [John] Heng, who is with the Northwest Area Arts Council, and with the Woodstock Celebrates group,” City Manager Roscoe Stelford said at Tuesday’s city council meeting.

The city took ownership of the Old Courthouse in 2011, and transitioned previous leases into space use and donation agreements, according to city documents.

The arts council is one of the groups that currently occupies the building.

The string academy had rented out the same space before for a few years, but left in 2015 because construction on the Old Courthouse stairs made it hard to access. The new agreement with the business will go through April 30, 2017, for $150 a month.

Gunnar Gitlin, president of Woodstock Celebrates, said at Tuesday’s meeting it was the group’s understanding that they were to be in the front office of the Old Courthouse. The back office, which currently is being used by several groups for storage, was never prepared for them and requires a “great deal of work,” to be habitable, he said.

Gitlin said Woodstock Celebrates was hoping to host an intern in the office from the Midwest Mozart Festival, which was recently resurrected and set to hold shows in July and August.

“So the timing in the sense of us trying to support Mozart couldn’t be worse,” Gitlin said.

Stelford said the city and Woodstock reached an agreement in 2014 where as part of compensation for the city using the

Woodstock Celebrates slogan, the group would be provided an office for five years.

The original agreement noted the first preference for a space would be in the Old Courthouse, but it could also be located in Woodstock City Hall, Stelford said.

The council passed the agreement unanimously, with Mayor Brian Sager absent, on the condition that Stelford would negotiate with the groups and amend the language if necessary, and the city would clean out the back office. The item was first discussed and tabled at the June 7 meeting.

City administration had not been able to reach Talia Pavia String Academy to see whether the owner would be willing to take the back office as of Tuesday, but council members expressed they did not want to hold the vote again to the July 19 city council meeting.

“I want people to want to do business with the city of Woodstock,” council member Maureen Larson said. “I want cultural, musical things to feel like this is where they belong, and if you’re trying to get a business up and running, a month can be a long time.”

McHenry County again casts symbolic vote opposing prevailing wage rates

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcravwer@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – For a third straight year, the McHenry County Board cast a symbolic vote against accepting the state’s prevailing wage rates.

Board members voted last week, 14-10, to reject the prevailing wage schedule, which requires local governments to pay workers hired for public construction projects a specific wage set by the Illinois Department of Labor. But despite the vote, county government will instruct county staff to abide by the law.

State law requires local governments, such as the County Board, to adopt the wage schedule each year.

But while voting to reject the schedule carries no penalty, a government that willingly pays workers less than prevailing wage is illegal – elected officials can be charged with a Class A misdemeanor, and the body itself can be subject to fines, which would be paid by the taxpayers.

The ongoing yearlong budget battle in Springfield made this year’s vote slightly more interesting, as the lack of a budget has prevented the state from coming up with new wage rates – the labor department has advised local governments to readopt

“I will again say, it’s the law, and nowhere in this resolution does it say we actually support it. We’re just acknowledging that it’s the law, and that we are following the law.”

Carolyn Schofield R-Crystal lake

the 2015 rates.

Critics on the County Board and on other governments that symbolically vote against the schedule allege that prevailing wage makes public works projects funded by taxpayers much more expensive than they need to be. Supporters in organized labor counter that prevailing wage allows workers to make living wages in an expensive county, and prevents governments from shipping in cheap, unskilled and exploitable labor.

As in previous years, County Board members who voted in favor of accepting the schedule clarified that they did not support prevailing wage, but rather opposed voting against something that is mandated by state law.

“I will again say, it’s the law, and nowhere in this resolution does it say we actually support it. We’re just acknowledging that it’s the law, and that we are following the law,” said member Carolyn Schofield, R-Crystal Lake.

While board member Tina Hill, R-Woodstock, told Schofield that she respected her position, Hill said that a “no” vote is the only way the board has to protest prevailing wage, even if the vote has no weight.

“I don’t know any other way to have an effective voice in this,” Hill said.

The County Board after its first vote in 2014 to reject prevailing wage tried to gauge interest among local governments in challenging the rates, which the law allows via a hearing, but the effort did not go anywhere.

The Woodstock City Council last week also voted to reject accepting the prevailing wage schedule.

Illinois passed its prevailing wage law in 1941 as a mechanism to ensure labor disputes did not delay or cease public works projects altogether, and to ensure workers’ jobs were not threatened by itinerant labor. In subsequent years it was meant to protect the wages and benefits of workers from being slashed by employers competitively bidding for government projects.

LAKE IN THE HILLS

Village pursues Lakewood Road bike path funding

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – The village will apply for the Illinois Transportation Enhancement Grant Program to try to get funding for a bike path along Lakewood Road.

The path on the east side of the road would stretch from Miller Road to Algonquin Road and connect the existing bike paths at Miller Road, Reed Road and Algonquin Road. It would also connect local homes to area businesses, according to village documents.

Public Works Director Fred Mullard said at Tuesday’s Committee of

“Right now there’s not any sidewalk there, and people walk along the shoulder of the road. There is a lot of traffic there. It’s also a high item in our residents’ survey.”

Fred Mullard

Lake in the Hills public works director the Whole meeting that the village had unsuccessfully applied for an ITEP grant for the project before.

“Right now there’s not any side-

walk there, and people walk along the shoulder of the road,” Mullard said.

“There is a lot of traffic there. It’s also a high item in our residents’ survey.”

Engineer HR Green estimated the total project cost at $1,009,260, and the village’s contribution would be around $101,000. The village is not obligated to complete the work unless the ITEP grant is offered and accepted.

Lake in the Hills is one of several local municipalities pursuing ITEP funding for a bicycle-related project.

Algonquin is applying for grants for downtown streetscape work and a bike path, and Huntley submitted applications for three projects, including a bike path along Reed Road.

A snapshot of McHenry County history Photo provided by the McHenry County Historical Society

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com • Sunday, June 26, 2016

McHenry County Bicentennial Commission dignitaries gather for a flag-raising ceremony on a grandstand outside the McHenry County Government Center in 1976. That year was memorable because it was a year with graduation tassels of red, white and blue, special parades and Revolutionary War re-enactments. It brought us a special flag with a circle of 13 stars and the Spirit of ’76, pomp and much patriotism. The United States marked 200 years with continued longevity assumed. Today, it is right that we honor our collective history as a nation of many people of diverse cultures, backgrounds and talents. As you celebrate this coming Independence Day, tip your cap to the Founding Fathers who laid the groundwork for the world’s great experiment in democracy.

Public hearing to repeal zoning restrictions set for July 18

growth.

“I hope you understand that we would like to try somehow to maximize our opportunity and capitalize on what you’re doing,” Village President Paul Mulcahy told business owners in the audience. “I hope you take an active part in this.”

In a related move, the board approved a conditional use permit for All Smiles Dental to open an office in the former Hollywood Video space at 261 N. Randall Road, despite concerns that the business would not generate sales tax for the village.

The space has been vacant for six years, and trustees said they hoped its opening would benefit nearby restaurants such as Einstein Bros. Bagels, Jersey Mike’s Subs and Yumz Frozen Yogurt.

“My thought is maybe there would be more foot traffic going from the dental clinic to other businesses in the area,” Trustee Paula Yensen said. “It’s better to have that place full.”

McHENRY – This fall the City of McHenry is starting a tree replacement program for residents who lost trees lost to the emerald ash borer.

Residents who are interested in having a tree planted on the public right of way at their single-family residences this fall are asked to contact Tom Schmidt, the city forester at tschmidt@ci.mchenry.il.us or 815-363-2162.

McHenry officials said trees will be

available on a first-come, first-serve basis and are available to McHenry residents only. Residents will be asked to leave their name, address and phone number where they can be reached. The tree planting space will have to meet certain requirements in order to receive the free tree and the city will determine what species of tree will be planted, city officials said.

The city forester will make the determination whether the tree can be planted.

There is a limit of one tree per residence.

LAKE IN THE HILLS – The Village Board has scheduled a public hearing on July 18 to discuss text amendments that would repeal a recently passed ordinance restricting nonretail businesses from opening.

The ordinance, passed in March, required nonsales tax-generating businesses looking to open within certain zoning districts to apply for a conditional use permit. It also required that 80 percent of any multitenant commercial building must be occupied by retail businesses.

The Planning & Zoning Commission had unanimously recommended repealing the ordinance after an outcry from the business community, who argued that the extra hurdles would steer new businesses away from Lake in the Hills and into neighboring towns, ultimately leading to more vacancies and shifting the property tax burden onto residents.

At Tuesday’s Committee of the Whole meeting, several trustees said they would not have voted for the ordinance if they knew its full background.

Village Administrator Jerry Sagona said the language was based on a Barrington ordinance that had applied to specific areas, while the Lake in the Hills ordinance was applied only to the entire village. Additionally, it was unclear how Barrington came up with the 80 percent threshold for retail businesses.

Village officials said they plan to go back to square one to draft a more appropriate ordinance to encourage retail

OTTAWA – Thousands of boaters are still active on Illinois waters, but their numbers have declined significantly over the past several years due to the struggling economy.

The number of mechanically powered boats registered in Illinois has gone down by about 30 percent since 2009, according to data from the state Department of Natural Resources.

There were about 277,620 registered mechanically powered boats in 2009, compared with about 198,150 in 2015.

Boating reached its peak before the recession, but when it hit, people were less willing to spend money on recreation, boat shop owners told the LaSalle News Tribune.

“Around 2007 and 2008 boating registration was at a high, but it got hurt.

Now it’s starting to come back a little,” said Joe Troha, owner of Illinois Valley Outdoors in Spring Valley.

Jeff Hiemsoth of Quest Watersports in Ottawa agreed that the boating industry is starting to see some growth, but it’s been slow and not even close to what it once was.

“It really is kind of defined by the recession,” Hiemsoth said. “In our area it definitely has not come back to

Economic woes cause drop in number of Illinois boaters

Policy positions draft reflects Sanders’ influence

By KEN THOMAS

The Vermont senator has said he wants the platform to reflect his goals – and those representing him at a St. Louis hotel said they had made progress.

“We lost some but we won some,” said James Zogby, a Sanders supporter on the committee. “We got some great stuff in the platform that has never been in there before.” Added Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., a Sanders ally: “We’ve made some substantial moves forward.”

Deliberating late into Friday, the group considered language on the Israel-Palestinian conflict, an issue that has divided Democrats. The committee defeated an amendment led by Zogby that would have called for providing Palestinians with “an end to occupation and illegal settlements” and urged an international effort to rebuild Gaza.

The draft reflects Clinton’s views and advocates working toward a “two-state solution of the Israel-Palestinian conflict” that guarantees Israel’s security with recognized borders “and provides the Palestinians with independence, sovereignty, and dignity.”

In many cases, Clinton’s side gave ground to Sanders. The document calls for the expansion of Social Security and says Americans should earn at least $15 an hour, referring to the current mini-

The Associated Press ST. LOUIS – A draft of the Democratic Party’s policy positions reflects the influence of Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign: endorsing steps to break up large Wall Street banks, advocating a $15 hourly wage, urging an end to the death penalty.

Hillary Clinton’s supporters turned back efforts by Sanders’ allies to promote a Medicare-for-all single-payer health care system and a carbon tax to address climate change, and freeze hydraulic fracking.

While the platform does not bind the Democratic nominee to the stated positions, it serves as a guidepost for the party moving forward. Party officials approved the draft early Saturday.

The Democratic National Convention’s full Platform Committee will discuss the draft at a meeting next month in Orlando, Florida, with a vote at the convention in Philadelphia in late July.

Sanders said Friday that he would vote for Clinton, the presumptive nominee, in the fall election, but so far has stopped short of fully endorsing the former secretary of state or encouraging his millions of voters to back her candidacy.

mum wage of $7.25 an hour as a “starvation wage,” a term often used by Sanders.

Sanders has pushed for a $15-an-hour minimum wage. Clinton has supported efforts to raise the minimum wage to that level but has said states and cities should raise the bar as high as possible.

Sanders’ allies wanted the draft to specify calls for a $15 per hour minimum wage indexed with inflation. Clinton’s side struck down a direct link, noting the document elsewhere included a call to “raise and index the minimum wage.”

The committee also adopted language that said it supports ways to prevent banks from gambling with taxpayers’ bank deposits, “including an updated and modernized version of Glass-Steagall.”

Sanders wants to reinstate the Depression-era Glass-Steagall Act, which prohibited commercial banks from engaging in investment banking activities. Clinton does not, but says her proposed financial changes would cast a wider net by regulating the banking system.

Also in the draft is a call for the abolition of the death penalty. Clinton said during a debate this year that capital punishment should be used only in lim-

ited cases involving “heinous crimes.”

Sanders said the government should not use it.

Sanders, a vociferous opponent of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, was unable to get language into the document opposing the trade deal. As a result, the party avoided an awkward scenario that would have put the platform at odds with President Barack Obama.

Clinton and Sanders have opposed the deal. Committee members backed a measure that said “there are a diversity of views in the party” on the pact and reaffirmed that Democrats contend any trade deal “must protect workers and the environment.”

In a setback for Sanders, the panel narrowly rejected amendments that would have imposed a tax on carbon and imposed a national freeze on fracking.

The panel deliberated for about nine hours after several late nights and long hours of policy exchanges between the two campaigns and the Democratic National Committee.

Sanders, in a statement, said he was “disappointed and dismayed” that the group voted down the measure opposing the TPP. But he was pleased with the proposals on Glass-Steagall and the death penalty – and vowed to fight on.

Bill Cunningham, NY Times fashion photographer, dies at 87

By MICHAEL BALSAMO The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Bill Cunningham, a longtime fashion photographer for The New York Times known for taking pictures of everyday people on the streets of New York, has died. He was 87.

Cunningham died Saturday in New York City, Eileen Murphy, a spokeswoman for the newspaper, said. He had been hospitalized recently after suffering a stroke.

“To see a Bill Cunningham street spread was to see all of New York,” New York Times Executive Editor

Dean Baquet said in a tweet posted to the newspaper’s Twitter account Saturday afternoon.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Cunningham would be remembered for his trademark blue jacket and traveling by bicycle with a small camera bag strapped to his waist, “but most of all we will remember the vivid, vivacious New York he captured in his photos.”

Cunningham began publishing a regular series of photographs in the Times in 1978 after a chance photograph of Greta Garbo got the attention of the storied paper.

After dropping out of Harvard University in 1948, the Boston-born Cunningham moved to New York, where he worked as a hat maker and in advertising before being drafted into the U.S. Army. After a stint in the Army, Cunningham returned to New York, where he wrote fashion pieces for the Chicago Tribune. He soon segued into photography and started taking photographs of people on the streets before joining the Times.

In a 2002 interview with the paper, Cunningham said he always tried to be as discreet as possible because “you get more natural pictures that way.”

STATE Study: Rotting trees caused mysterious holes in dunes A researcher uses equipment in August 2014 to study Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore’s Mount Baldy in Michigan City, Ind.

By TOM COYNE

The Associated Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Mysterious holes that forced the closure of a massive dune at an Indiana national park after a 6-year-old boy fell into one and nearly died were caused by sand-covered trees that left cavities behind as they decayed over the years, researchers have found.

Fungi on the covered trees formed a sort of cement that allowed the sand to keep its hollowed-out shape as the wood decayed and collapsed inward, leaving holes more than 10 feet deep in the dune known as Mount Baldy at the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, according to a study published in December

by Erin Argyilan, who heads Indiana University Northwest’s department of geosciences. She said the phenomenon likely explains similar holes found in migrating dunes in Oregon and Michigan.

Although she determined the holes to be more of a nuisance than a hazard, Argyilan said they could present an unseen geological hazard in heavily visited natural places like Mount Baldy. The popular dune has been closed except for small ranger-led tours since the July

Police sue town, claim body cameras record nonstop

ROUND LAKE PARK – Ten police officers in a Chicago suburb are suing the town, claiming the body cameras they wore never turned off and recorded them using the restroom and changing clothes.

The lawsuit filed Thursday in federal court says one of the officers in Round Lake Park, Dominick Izzo, discovered the problem while reviewing video from his camera in May. The Chicago Tribune reported that the lawsuit says the cameras recorded thousands of “highly offensive and voyeuristic intrusions,” including video that showed officers’ genitals. The videos dated to

2013 rescue of the Illinois boy, who was trapped under sand for more than three hours.

The question facing the National Park Service is whether to keep Mount Baldy closed to the unsupervised public or to find a way to safely reopen it, at least partially.

Bruce Rowe, a spokesman for the park, declined to comment on Argyilan’s study or an ongoing Indiana Geological Survey study that supports her findings. He said it wouldn’t be appropriate to comment until the agency had the chance to review both. G. William Monaghan, a senior research scientist at the IGS, said he hopes to have its

The officers were “humiliated, embarrassed and greatly upset,” according to the lawsuit.

The officers are seeking $100,000 each.

Police Chief George Filenko said he was unaware of the recordings until an officer discovered them and has hired an outside attorney to investigate. However, in a statement, Filenko also criticized the officers for filing the lawsuit.

Monaghan said the IGS study, which Argyilan is also involved in, will include a map of potentially hazardous areas based on 1930s photos that show the location of trees before the sand buried them. The scientists said reopening Mount Baldy would be a risk-management decision that the Park Service would have to make.

Kevin Kincare, a U.S. Geological Survey research geologist, said he agrees with the studies’ findings.

violence, have been frozen out of the haphazard funding system that’s emerged during the stalemate, the Chicago Tribune reported.

“It’s hitting women and children disproportionally hard and in ways that lots of us are still trying to get a grasp on,” said Democratic state Rep. Greg Harris of Chicago, who chairs the human services committee. “It’s across the board. It’s really sad.”

Women make up about 66 percent of the recipients of an underfunded state scholarship grant for low-income college students. The Illinois Student Assistance Commission says between 80,000 and 128,000 female students received Monetary Award Program money last year.

Most schools had to pay for the scholarships and when state funding was released in April it was for one semester.

It’s unclear what schools will do in the fall.

He said the studies show it takes unique conditions to create these voids.

Mount Baldy, which is a popular attraction at the national park along the Lake Michigan coast near Indiana’s border with Michigan, formed about 4,000 years ago and moves faster than most coastal dunes. Monaghan said it has moved an average of about 10 to 13 feet a year since about 1930.

Argyilan said similar holes have been reported in migrating dunes at the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area in Florence, Oregon, and Silver Lake State Park in Mears, Michigan, but the holes at Mount Baldy provided the first opportunity to directly study them. Ten holes had been found in the dune when her research was published.

The deepest was the 10-foot hole that the boy fell into, but most were a yard (meter) or less deep, she said.

Monaghan said voids only create holes when the thickness of the dune from the hole to the surface is 20 feet or less. When it’s greater than that, the void being filled doesn’t create a big enough hole to present a danger. When the thickness is less than 5 feet, the hole created is so small that it’s not a danger, he said.

Rauner signs ID law making Ill. comply with federal law

CHICAGO – Illinois will follow stricter federal standards for state-issued ID’s under a proposal signed into law by Gov. Bruce Rauner.

Bill sponsor Sen. Terry Link said the measure ensures Illinois complies with the REAL ID Act and that it will help residents avoid security problems at airports and federal buildings.

Illinois officials were notified in January they had two years to comply with the act 2005 law. It sets minimum standards for licenses in response to security concerns after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Enforcement has been delayed.

Illinois put some changes into place, but others required legislative approval.

Among other things, the new law requires applicants for driver’s licenses to provide

proof of lawful presence in the country. The changes take effect next year.

1 dead, 1 injured after boats crash on Illinois’ Rock River

OREGON – Winnebago County Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Hintz said one person died and another was left injured after two boats collided on the Rock River in northern Illinois.

Hintz told WREX-TV in Rockford that the woman died after the crash about 8:40 p.m. Friday on the river near Oregon. Her name was not released. Oregon is about 20 miles southwest of Rockford.

Authorities said the crash involved a fishing boat and pontoon boat that collided.

Information about the injured person’s identity and condition was not available.

The cause is not known but the Illinois Department of Natural Resources is investigating.

Demonstrators protest Saturday in London against Britain’s exit from the European Union in Parliament Square following Friday’s EU referendum results.

Britain, EU at odds over the timing of divorce talks

By JILL LAWLESS and KIRSTEN GRIESHABER The Associated Press

LONDON – The European Union wants a quickie divorce, but Britain wants time to think things over.

Senior EU politicians demanded Saturday that the U.K. quickly cut its ties with the 28-nation bloc – a process Britain said won’t begin for several months – as the political and economic shockwaves from the U.K.’s vote to leave reverberated around the world.

“There is a certain urgency ... so that we don’t have a period of uncertainty, with financial consequences, political consequences,” French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said at a meeting in Berlin of the EU’s six founding nations.

EU Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker warned that the split was “not an amicable divorce” but noted it was never “a tight love affair anyway.”

Britons voted 52 to 48 percent Thursday in favor of ending their country’s 43-year membership in the 28-nation bloc.

But no country ever has left the EU, so no one knows exactly how the process will play out. Britain must, at some point, unambiguously notify the bloc of its intentions and set a twoyear clock ticking for negotiating its departure.

Until then, Britain remains an EU member.

In contrast to the clamoring of EU officials, the leaders of Britain’s “leave” campaign – who had reassured voters that the EU would offer Britain good terms for a new relationship – were largely silent Saturday.

England’s 300-year-old union with Scotland could be another casualty of the referendum, since most people in Scotland voted to remain in the EU. Scottish leader Nicola Sturgeon said Saturday that her semi-autonomous administration would seek immediate talks with EU nations and institutions to ensure that Scotland could remain in the bloc. “(We will) explore possible options to protect Scotland’s place in the EU,” she said after meeting with her Cabinet in Edinburgh, adding that a new referendum on Scottish independence is “very much on the table.”

Scotland voted in 2014 to remain a part of the U.K., but that decision was seen as being conditional on the U.K. staying in the EU. The victorious “leave” campaigners have said there’s no rush to trigger Article 50 of the EU’s Lisbon Treaty, which will begin a two-year exit process to renegotiate trade, business and political links between the U.K. and what will become a 27-nation bloc.

British Prime Minister David Cameron announced his resignation Friday and said his successor, to be chosen by October, should be the one to navigate the tricky process of withdrawing from the bloc.

The favorite to succeed him, former London Mayor Boris Johnson, has said there’s “no need for haste” – but EU leaders are saying the opposite, in insistent tones.

Juncker said Saturday that the British had voted to leave and “it doesn’t make any sense to wait until October to try and negotiate the terms of their departure.”

Officials: 150 homes burned in California wildfire

By SCOTT SMITH and ROBERT JABLON The Associated Press

LAKE ISABELLA, Calif. – A voracious and deadly wildfire in central California has burned 150 homes, and the toll may rise, fire officials said Saturday.

The tally rose from 80 homes as firefighters began going through neighborhoods to count houses and mobile homes incinerated by the blaze.

Entire blocks were reduced to rubble, and at least 2,500 homes remained threatened.

The winds that drove the drove the fire through small southern Sierra Nevada communities calmed by late afternoon, helping firefighters gain access to the fire line. However, hot weather and low humidity remained a worry.

“That’s something we have to keep an eye on. It could spark another disaster,” Kern County fire engineer Anthony Romero said.

About 1,140 firefighters battled the flames.

Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency, freeing up money and resources to fight the fire and to clean up in the aftermath. The Federal Emergency Management Agency also authorized the use of funds for fire-

It moved so quickly that some residents barely had time to escape – and two didn’t.

An elderly couple apparently was overcome by smoke as they tried to flee, county Sheriff Donny Youngblood said. Their bodies were found Friday.

Allen Montgomery, 40, who lives

p h r p h y r u y u ’ s ’ M M

across the street from the couple, said he didn’t know their names but understood that the woman was bedridden.

Before he fled his home on Friday, Montgomery said he saw the man’s body about 20 feet from the house that was engulfed in flames.

“There was so much smoke you could barely see it,” he said.

Everett Evans, 45, fled Thursday as the fire came down a mountain with a roar toward his South Lake mobile

home. “When you hear a freight train, it’s time to leave. You could hear it, you could see it, you could smell it,” he said.

Evans said he knocked on doors to get neighbors to leave. Evans and his father, his son and his son’s girlfriend were in the convoy.

But he has nothing left to come back to. Virtually no homes survived in his neighborhood. A reporter visiting on Saturday found only a burned flag blowing in the wind on a flagpole above the rubble of Evans’ home.

Evans hadn’t been allowed back to the home, but he said he lost mementos and photos from his former marriage and years in the Marine Corps.

“That’s all memories. You get to keep your life, but you lose your memories,” he said.

Shiela McFarland, 67, from Mountain Mesa, left her home three days ago, taking her computer, cellphone, papers and her miniature poodle, Snuggles.

At an evacuation center, she slept on a cot outdoors next to his kennel.

McFarland didn’t know whether her home survived, but said, “It doesn’t matter if I’ve lost everything.

I’ve got my little dog, my kids and my grandkids. I’ve seen other people in worse shape.”

But returning to the fields wasn’t easy.

“The pain of what I lost kept me from coming back for such a long time,” Tamoini said. “With this level of production, I’m glad I finally did.”

that it initially burned,” said Mathieu Yalira, the chairman of the observatory’s geochemistry and environment department. Volcanic soil includes fertilizing elements such as iron, phosphorus and potassium, he said.

In the years after an eruption, a process known as chemical weathering slowly makes lava soil more fertile than ordinary earth.

Local farmers didn’t seize on those benefits right away, observers say.

“Initially, no one was coming back because they were too devastated to see their burned fields,” said the chair of the observatory’s seismology depart-

GOMA, Congo – Hacking away in the midday sun, 49-year-old farmer Daniel Lazuba remembers vividly his life before one of Africa’s most active volcanoes erupted 14 years ago.

“All of this was corn before,” he said as he pointed to rows of new banana trees pushing up between black stones.

“My cabbage seems to be growing better than ever these days, but in this area, I still have to start from zero.”

Traumatized farmers like Lazuba are slowly returning to fields decimated by the 2002 eruption of Mount Nyiragongo in eastern Congo. Flowing lava flattened more than 30 percent of the city of Goma, 20 kilometers away.

Nearly 150 people died, and 400,000 fled into neighboring Rwanda.

Now farmers returning to their fields find increased harvests from the rich volcanic soil, but there are signs that Nyiragongo will erupt again.

One farmer, Patrick Tamoini, said his harvests have risen over the past two harvests since he returned to his patch of land a short walk from the volcano’s base. The 41-year-old pockets more than $100 a month after taking care of family expenses, more than dou-

ment, Georges Mavonga. “But within the past year, visits toward the volcano have shown new villages in areas that were uninhabited before.”

He said the increase in lava soil farming may be a result of initial farmers seeing the benefits and spreading information to friends and family.

But the farmers should not get too attached to the newly fertile fields, warns the Rwanda Red Cross, which cared for many fleeing the 2002 eruption.

In February, an earthquake far beneath the surface caused rumbling noises near Virunga National Park, where the volcano is located. Since then, a new vent has appeared on the northeastern edge of the crater floor that shoots lava into the air every 30 seconds.

The Rwanda Red Cross has increased surveillance of the volcano in conjunction with the observatory.

“There are only presumptions about the next eruption, but people who study the daily life of this volcano tell us it could happen any day,” said Yves Riupi, a Red Cross crisis manager who works with seismologists at the Rwanda Natural Resources Authority.

The risk of another eruption is one that some farmers, whose lives depend on their crops, are now willing to take.

OUR VIEW

End pensions for all elected officials

There’s no way to frame it as a giant leap, but members of the McHenry County Board quietly voting to end the practice of IMRF pensions for themselves was a small step for taxpayerkind.

Whether you want to give credit to a Republican Board Member like Andrew Gasser or State Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, who sicced the IMRF director on the County Board questioning whether members meet the 1,000 per year IMRF qualifying threshold, the practice has ended.

The unanimous vote taken this week will eliminate IMRF eligibility for board members effective Dec. 1, with the new county fiscal year and the seating of the new board after the Nov. 8 election. The resolution eliminates pension eligibility for new members, but also ends the accumulation of credit for pensions for existing members, which includes the newly-elected chairman position.

It has been ridiculous that elected officials who already receive a salary of more than $20,000 for their parttime positions also have been collecting pension benefits. It remains ridiculous that many also accept health insurance as part of their compensation.

We can’t point fingers at our local school board members who oversee the vast majority of our property tax dollars, but at least they perform their services with no expectation of salary, pensions or health benefits.

So many things about government in Illinois are ridiculous, we have to start somewhere. Pensions should end for Illinois legislators, as well.

The fact that legislators are socking away retirement savings while they haven’t been able to pass a budget for a year is nauseating.

Illinois is in need of serious reform and crippled by debt from employee benefits it can’t afford.

And while lawmakers must address that situation and remedy it for the future, removing the plank from their own eyes would be a good place to start.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

In Illinois, pensions trump people A yearlong budget battle is set to push Illinois into uncharted waters.

No state has gone without a budget for a full year since at least the 1930s, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

State Comptroller Leslie Munger announced that come July 1, her office will be forced to stop $23 billion in spending for schools, 911 call centers, domestic violence shelters, federally funded social and human services and higher education. The potential catastrophe beginning July 1 raises an important question Illinoisans have been asking for months.

How did we get here?

Of course, political leaders have been locked in battle for the last 12 months. But beyond that, the state hasn’t had a balanced budget since 2001. It’s home to the worst credit rating in the nation. Its problems are broad and deep.

John F. Kennedy offers a clue.

“To govern is to choose,” he once said. A look at the choices Illinois lawmakers have made over the past 15 years shows the state’s political elite has had little interest in protecting funding for education, social services and public safety. Rather,

politicians have allowed spending on state-worker pensions and benefits to crowd out the core services Illinoisans depend on most. From 2000 to 2015, total state tax revenues grew by a robust 57 percent. But spending on higher education (down 8 percent), human services (up 10 percent), public safety (up 12 percent) and K-12 education (35 percent) hasn’t come close to that pace, according to the governor’s 2017 budget summary.

So why is Illinois mired in debt and unpaid bills? Medicaid spending is up 141 percent over that time period. State-employee insurance spending is up 166 percent. And that’s nothing compared to the elephant in the room.

Spending on state-employee pension benefits grew an astonishing 586 percent, or $6.6 billion, from 2000 to 2015.

With priorities like those, it’s no wonder the Land of Lincoln has been hellish for social service providers over the last decade. While the last year has been particularly difficult, these problems are not new.

Even in recent years when the state had budgets and a record-setting tax hike, community organiza-

tions still struggled with a deadbeat state.

A 2013 Urban Institute survey reported that for more than two-thirds of Illinois nonprofits, government payments did not cover the full cost of contracted services. A 2009 Urban Institute study pegged Illinois as the worst state in the nation for timely payments to nonprofits.

Blaming state workers for these out-of-whack priorities is unfair. The pension problem was created and has been fueled by weak politicians – men and women who decided their next elections were more important than the next generation.

These lawmakers have failed to make tough choices to protect essential services from the black hole of pension payments. Now, 25 cents of every dollar the state spends goes to pensions.

It’s been more than a year since the Illinois Supreme Court ruled a modest pension-reform package unconstitutional. So what have lawmakers been doing in the meantime to ensure Illinoisans aren’t stuck in a state that puts pensions over people?

A whole lot of nothing.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

IT’S YOUR WRITE

Support Patrick Kenneally

To the Editor: McHenry County needs a State’s Attorney who will stand up for the McHenry County community, not one who personally sues us.

Patrick Kenneally defends our Constitution, including free speech. This is one of the many reasons I support him and will be casting my vote for Kenneally in November.

There is no doubt Kenneally is the perfect choice for State’s Attorney.

He’s an experienced trial attorney with extensive background in our criminal and civil legal system. Kenneally is fair, while being tough on crime. He’s an engaged member of our community, who has a consistent record of fighting for victims and doing the right thing.

He’s a true leader.

Kenneally is honest, ethical and genuine. Please join me in supporting Patrick Kenneally as our next State’s Attorney.

As the world weeps

To the Editor: As we snuggle cozy in our beds, for us the world weeps. A deep restlessness permeates our dreams as we sleep. Sensitive souls feel and carry the world’s profound sorrow. Our disrespect of Mother Earth is the pain we borrow.

VIEWS Cal Thomas flat-out corrupt.”

Trump doesn’t fare much better.

A recent Gallup poll found that just 33 percent say Trump is honest and trustworthy, a mere 1 percent higher than Hillary Clinton. With such numbers, Trump’s label of “Crooked Hillary” doesn’t have the moral impact it might have if more people thought he was a man of good character. Perhaps if Trump were held in higher regard, his contrast to Hillary Clintonmight work to his advantage.

Has the state of our politics sunk so low that voters no longer expect honesty, integrity and character to be factors in deciding for whom they will vote? How can this be? Isn’t a person’s

As the world weeps for us, we self-medicate and escape. Our whole system needs to grow a new political landscape. Politicos of Pinocchio Land grow noses like corn in July. Liar liar politico pants on fire do shady business on the sly.

Like hamsters on a treadmill, we’re flummoxed in fatigue. This conundrum of confusion plays hard ball major league. Mankind is not kind; deceit and greed threw us in the ditch. Dead Spirits at slaughter houses remain black as pitch.

Monsanto shoots up our food; we bite the poison apple. New England shoots up with heroine; why are we baffled?

Animals flee with their lives as the Rain Forest is stripped. Companies on the sneak poison waterways in secret trick.

Violent news and images remain the major news we see. We all feel raped, you and I, even the innocent honey bee.

Fracking damages the Earth with dour results recorded. We need guns for protection, but assault ones are sordid.

Trump is an airhead

To the Editor: “Really? I told you so.” That, in essence, is Trump’s response to mass murder?

trustworthiness essential when we decide to buy a house or car, conclude a business deal or get married? If character matters in these and other circumstances, why does it matter less in selecting our next president?

And if character doesn’t matter, won’t that almost ensure that we will get more people running for and serving in office who have less and less of it?

Brandon Rottinghaus is a political science professor at the University of Houston. In the Times story he is quoted as saying: “Trustworthiness by itself is less important than trustworthiness to handle specific issues, like national security or the economy.

In the context of the 2016 election, Clinton’s low trust numbers may not mean much. If she is matched against a different nominee of the opposing party, she might be in danger.

Trump’s bucolic approach to politics gives her some much-needed cover.”

But doesn’t it all go together? If one is dishonest in one’s private dealings that must spill over into one’s public life, right? Take the Clintons as Exhibit A. Sometimes one finds a quote from an unexpected source that summarizes an issue. The actor and martial arts expert, Bruce Lee, once said: “Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.”

In this election, two people are seeking power, but it looks like whichever one wins will have a long way to go toward gaining respect. Voters have become so angry and cynical about the state of our government and its leaders that they no longer expect to respect them. If that is where we are, does that not say more about us then it does about them?

To borrow a phrase used in reference to that other great American Joe McCarthy, at long last sir have you no sense of decency? You’d sell your soul for the presidency? Let alone the world?

You would make America great again by taking us back 150 years to the bigotry of the post-Civil War days?

Franks works hard for property tax relief To the Editor:

To charge Jack Franks for Illinois’ failure to provide property-tax relief shows at least Rachael Lawrence’s lack of understanding of the process.

Jack has never ceased in his efforts to reduce property taxes and he is sadly one of the very few.

He has worked hard on so many issues only to be met with frustration. If you ever called his office, you get help for your concerns if it is at all possible. He speaks up for the community and works for all of us.

Now, after leading the way to curbing some of the County Board’s efforts to claim unearned pension benefits, he is running for the County Board Chair. Do you really believe that was their only misguided effort?

Couldn’t the Board reduce the number of townships under his leadership? Or, do you believe that everything is just fine out here in McHenry County?

Ranking right up there with the line, “Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?” is this recent headline in The Washington Times: “Honesty issues aside, voters still back Hillary Clinton, poll shows.”

Though Clinton’s negatives appear higher than that of any Democrat running for president in, perhaps, all of history – and Donald Trump’s are even higher – honesty appears not to matter in this election, especially to younger voters.

The Washington Times story is based on a poll taken by the technology company Morning Consult, which found that Hillary Clinton’s “56 percent unfavorability rating is driven by the fact that 39 percent of Democrats and 47 percent of independents say she can’t be trusted” and that “significant percentages of those who view her unfavorably also say she’s

3-D pens, moldable earbuds take stage at tech show in New York

By BREE FOWLER

The Associated Press NEW YORK – From a 3-D pen that lets children safely doodle with melted plastic to an electrically charged glass that makes beer taste bubblier, there was no shortage of fun and quirky gadgets at this year’s CE Week.

The annual, three-day gadget show in New York is meant as a showcase for products coming out for the holidays, though many items are still in development or seeking investments through group-fundraising sites such as Indiegogo.

Here are five notable gadgets at the show, which ends Thursday.

PEN FOR “DRAWING” 3-D SCULPTURES

There’s now a child-safe version of the 3Doodler 3-D printing pen, which melts sticks of colored plastic into goo that shoots out of the pen tip to create 3-D sculptures. With both versions, the plastic hardens quickly, so you can draw into the air without worrying about your creation collapsing.

The kids’ version has no hot parts.

The plastic coming out is cool enough to touch. A kids’ starter pack includes a pen, an ideas book and two packs of plastic sticks. The kid-friendly set costs $50, half the price of the regular version.

The kids’ version is for ages 8 and up and will be in stores in a few months.

EARBUDS FOR EVERYONE

Finding earbuds that fit comfortably and don’t fall out can be a challenge, especially for people with uniquely shaped ears.

Decibullz touts its earbuds as the first to be both custom and wireless.

They are made of a plastic that softens in hot water. The putty conforms to the inside shapes of your ears and hardens in about two minutes. If you don’t get it right the first time, just pop the earbuds back in hot water and start over.

And don’t worry about mixing electronics and water. The buds come off the wireless headset while you’re adjusting the fit.

The set sells for $120 through the company’s website.

FOR BEER WITH AN EXTRA BUZZ

Global Ionics has a glass that uses a small amount of electric current to boost the flavor and fizziness of drinks, be it flavored water, fruit juice or wine.

The current is generated by one AAA battery housed in the base of the glass. The current flows from the glass through its beverage into the mouth.

During a demo, the charge gave beer a pleasant extra fizziness when taking little sips. But it can make your face numb when you drink continual-

ly. So, best not to overdo it.

This technology is still in the ideas stage. Global Ionics says it hopes to license it to a beer company or a medical-device manufacturer – for instance, to boost the effectiveness of bubbly flu treatments.

GAMING WITHOUT SCREENS

ROXs, billed as a “real-life gaming console,” is designed to get gamer kids active and away from their screens.

The kit from A-Champs comes with three ROXs, which look like flat stones about the size of a saucer. You strap them to kids, trees or just about anything else.

Kids can choose one of 10 games.

“Crazy Chicken,” for instance, challenges kids to race between ROXs and touch as many as they can, as fast as they can, as the gadgets beep and light up.

The starter package is expected to sell for $130 through the company’s website, though you can order one now through Indiegogo for $10 less.

It’s expected to start shipping this fall.

HD IN 3-D

GoPro cameras are great for action footage, but they don’t shoot in 3-D. Fantem now has a clip-on 3-D lens for it.

Fantem’s Vitrima 3-D lens costs $80 through Indiegogo. The company plans to start shipping them next month and says it’s in talks to get them on store shelves.

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey fund comes before retirement in the Baby Steps. The average household income in America, which is often two incomes, is around $52,000. I would challenge you to think about and work toward what you could be doing at age 60 that will make you that much or even more.

You’re probably working really hard for that $38,000. In your fifties, if you’re starting over – or if you start making a lot more – we call that an “encore career.” So I want you to start thinking fresh again. Don’t quit today, but you’re going to be making $38,000 eight years from now unless you start aiming at something else.

All this is as much an answer to

your retirement fears as trying to leapfrog and start doing retirement without an emergency fund. Put your emergency fund in place over the next 12 months, and start doing some goal setting and thinking. Maybe you’d like to own a trade show or events company by that time.

Ask yourself, “What would I do if I could do anything?” Because you know what? You can do anything!

Dear Dave: I’ve heard you talk about the importance of giving using the phrase “outrageous generosity.” But at what point does outrageous generosity become foolish overspending? – Josiah Dear Josiah: This is a good question.

Your first mandate is to take care of your own household. The Bible says if you don’t do this, you’re worse than an unbeliever. So start with your own family. Are you able to take care of the basic lifestyle and needs of your family? The pursuit of giving shouldn’t interrupt the food on your own family’s

table.

The Bible also says in the house of the wise there are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has. You need to be saving, too, in order to be biblically wise. If you spend everything you make, or, for that matter, if you gave away everything you make on an ongoing basis, it would be foolish.

There are individual times where people may be called to give in an extreme way, but I’m talking about a pattern of living or way of life over an extended period of time. If you just say you’re going to give away your whole income and let the government support you at the expense of your family, that’s not biblical. And it’s not a wise way to live your life.

Woman denied shower for her baby resists going to sister’s Dear Abby: My husband and I have been together for 10 years, married for five. We have an 8-year-old daughter. Yes, the math is clear – she was a “love child.” My family is religious, and although I was 22 at the time of my pregnancy, they announced I would not be having a baby shower because I had conceived in sin and it wouldn’t look right.

My sister and her husband of five years recently announced she is pregnant and I am expected to attend showers and parties for her. Am I wrong for not wanting to go? I’ll gladly send a gift and be there when the baby is born, but I’d prefer to avoid having to attend any social function where I am shamed for living differently. Her friends are so judgmental that if they suspect you smoke, drink or curse, they roll their eyes and

Shamed In Delaware Dear Shamed: Baby showers are

intended to welcome a new life into the world. They are not supposed to be vehicles for shaming anyone.

Frankly, I’m surprised some of your less religiously fervent friends didn’t get together to see that you were given one. Because you and your sister’s judgmental crowd have so little in common and you would prefer to avoid them, you have my blessing.

Dear Abby: Two teenage boys who live on our block frequently ride their skateboards in the street. They wear

no protective padding or helmets and pay no attention to their surroundings. They stay out at all hours in the summer, come flying into the street and swerve over both lanes of traffic.

I have seen cars narrowly avoid hitting them many times, and I hear cars honking at them and drivers shouting.

Their parents don’t seem to care.

They also let their dogs run loose around the neighborhood and into the street, and often back out of their driveway without looking. I know I’ll get nowhere speaking to them.

I’m terrified I’ll hit one of the boys with my car. I have come close twice and got dirty looks from them both times. I warn my visitors to watch out for them. I’m afraid it’s only a matter of time before something awful happens, and I don’t want to go to jail or

Any ideas? – Nervous In New England Dear Nervous: Regardless of whether you think it will get you anywhere, talk to the parents about how dangerous their teenagers’ behavior is, and when you do, explain there have been a couple of near misses. After that, if the boys continue to ride in the street, mention it to your local police department and perhaps the boys will be cited for their recklessness. (Some communities have ordinances requiring the use of helmets.) If the dogs create a nuisance, contact animal control. After that, que sera sera, and your conscience should be clear.

Tarazi ready to swim in U.S. Olympic Trials

By JON STYF

jstyf@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Valerie Tarazi sees them every time she leaves her bedroom, every time she walks down the hallway. So do her parents and brother.

Even when she isn’t at home, the goals, handwritten in pink or blue with what she terms “good penmanship” on huge white postit notes in her Prairie Grove home represent her focus, updated two or three times a year.

Every day, the Prairie Ridge soon-to-be junior swimmer lives to reach them.

Some are related to swimming times and some related to college visits. Some, such as eating more sushi and chocolate-covered espresso beans, are funny. And some, such as steering clear of cookies and ice cream, are far more serious. Some she chooses to keep private.

But her largest short-term goal of the past four years, reaching the U.S. Olympic Trials in Omaha, Nebraska, comes to fruition this week as Tarazi becomes the first area swimmer and

first Mundelein Mustangs club swimmer to swim at the trials when she leaps into the pool Monday morning in her heat of the 100-meter breaststroke. The event will be live-streamed

by NBC Sports and played again, on tape delay, on Monday night on the NBC Sports Network.

She is a two-time Northwest Herald Girls Swimmer of the Year and recently was named our Underclassman of the Year as well as finishing runner-up for our Female Athlete of the Year award.

“I’m only 16 and, really, I don’t have a chance at making the team,” Tarazi said. “So I just want the experience so that, in four years, I can come back and say I’ve done it and all the jitters have gone away so I can just go out there and perform.”

And there lies the difference between her long-term and short-term focus. This year, Tarazi wants to beat friend and rival Ema Rajic of Champaign, while swimming faster than Rajic’s 1:10.24 for the fastest 100 breaststroke time for a 15- or 16-year-old from Illinois ever.

• TARAZI

Continued from page 2 Beyond that, it’s all part of Tarazi’s goal to find the right school, continue improving and have a shot at making the 2020 Olympic team.

Of the almost 130 female swimmers who had qualified for the 100 breaststroke trials by mid-June, Tarazi’s time ranked 87th, while Rajic, who Tarazi beat for the 100 breaststroke high school state title last fall but swam a faster qualifying time, is 59th.

Tarazi also plans to swim a few time trials in Omaha starting Tuesday, in front of the crowd between the prelims and finals, in either the 200 individual medley, 50 freestyle or 100 backstroke.

“We talked awhile ago about writing goals down, sorting them out into short-term and long-term goals,” coach George Keenan said. “That helped her, gave her good perspective on what she could focus on in the now. We could focus better short term on what we’re working on in the moment and not get caught up in the overall huge goals.

She’s so goal-oriented.”

The long-term and short-term plans are part of the reason her success in the breaststroke is so unexpected. Because, two years ago when she was 14, the 100 backstroke was her focus. She trained and trained for it before heading to a sectional meet and dropping six seconds off her 100 breaststroke time between prelims and finals to become one of a handful of swimmers her

age to reach Junior Nationals.

“My coach told me, ‘This is a fluke thing,’” she said. “Then I trained the next whole summer in backstroke again, but I kept getting better in breaststroke, which didn’t really make sense to me, but it just kind of worked that way. And, ever since then, when I do technique lessons with George, it’s in the breaststroke.”

The technique work is intricate, using either cellphone video or an underwater camera to isolate her swimming stroke and improve the way her hand and elbow pull the water along with making her body as aerodynamic as possible.

“She’s good at making the changes, has such a good feel for the water,” Keenan said.

Tarazi knows that all of those things, from technique work to working on dry land at Davis Speed Center in Crystal Lake to counting calories to the specifically designed low-carb lunches of seabass or chicken her dad cooks and brings to school for lunch can make all the difference.

Ten times, she fell less than a tenth of a second short of her Olympic Trials qualifying time. Then, in mid-March, she made it.

“There are definitely days when I want the cookie, when I want the huge frappuccino that’s over 1,000 calories,” Tarazi said. “But you’ve got to look at the big picture, in my eyes, and by looking at the bigger picture and seeing the reward at the end of the season. When I missed it by .08 of a second, I looked

back at every possible thing, and what I needed to work on was, even though I had a good diet, I needed to be stricter with myself. So, by doing that, I got what I wanted. You set those little tiny goals along the way and then, once you achieve them and you actually see the reward, it’s worth it.”

In training the past few months, Tarazi has been pushed by other Mustangs swimmers, such as McHenry’s Kevin Braun and Hannah and Payton Lange.

They race, and sometimes Tarazi doesn’t win.

“I almost like getting beat, because it pushes me to be better,” she said.

“But there’s a part of me that, when I get in the pool and race, I don’t like losing. I hate losing.”

Keenan tries to keep the mood light and things fun because, as Tarazi acknowledges, “You can’t just swim laps and stare at the black line for four hours.”

One day, they swam relays in hoodies. Another day, Keenan bought doughnuts as enticement. Tarazi, of course, excused herself early to avoid the temptation.

Another bet she made with Keenan, however, she expects him to pay. It was related to a time, one she wouldn’t disclose, but the prize is no secret.

So once trials conclude, and before she begins final preparations for August’s Junior Nationals, she expects Keenan to pay up.

“He owes me a cookie cake,” she said.

Marian Central grad Abby Gilleland hired as assistant volleyball coach at William & Mary ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino Watching the AAU Girls’ Junior National Volleyball Championships in Orlando this week has led to a wave of emotions for Abby Gilleland.

“It’s kind of surreal when you walk in, having just finished my college career and having a lot of great memories,” said Gilleland, a Marian Central graduate and Sky High club alum.

“Seeing all these kids enjoy their time and enjoy their experiences … it really puts a smile on my face. It makes me excited for a future in coaching.”

Gilleland’s future began June 14 when she was named an assistant coach at NCAA Division I William & Mary Abby in Williamsburg, Va. Gilleland “Abby stood out because she’s very knowledgeable,” said first-year Tribe head coach Melissa Ferris, who spent the past 12 years as associate head coach at Rice. “She’s competitive, mature and focused. (Hiring her) honestly was a no-brainer.”

Gilleland enters coaching after a wildly successful career at Ohio University, where she was a two-time American Volleyball Coaches’ Association honorable mention All-America selection and the Mid-American Conference Player of the Year and Setter of the Year in 2013 and 2014.

Along with recruiting responsibilities, such as evaluating talent this week in Orlando, Gilleland will be working directly with the Tribe’s setters.

“Explaining the game is more about making sure they understand the why,” she said. “Why do we want to run this type of offense? Why do you want to have your feet this way or your hands positioned this way?

“I want to make sure I’m giving them the tools so that if they were going to teach someone else, they would feel confident in it as well.”

Gilleland graduated magna cum laude this spring with a degree in sports management and a minor in business administration. This week, she was named a finalist for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award, which recognizes graduating female athletes who have excelled in academics, athletics, service and leadership.

Abby Gilleland was named an assistant coach June 14 at NCAA Division I William & Mary in Williamsburg, Va. Her academic prowess gives Gilleland a strong understanding of William & Mary’s reputation.

The college was ranked sixth nationally this year by U.S. News & World Report in the Best Colleges: Top Public Schools category.

“Some of these kids want to be doctors and lawyers,” Gilleland said.

“The fact that these kids are so ambitious to come in and commit to playing a sport and a rigorous academic path, I have a lot of respect for them.”

She has met several of the team’s current players and spoken to others on the phone. Now, Gilleland is eager

to coach.

“I’m excited to get in the gym with them, get to know them as people and develop some relationships,” she said.

“Something that attracted me to college athletics is the experiences I was able to get out of it and the opportunity to give that back to student-athletes. You can touch different areas of their lives and help them move on in their careers.”

A first for Heidelberg: Senior catcher Mikaela Mitsch (McHenry West) was honored last month as the first All-America recipient in the history of D-III Heidelberg University in

Ohio.

Mitsch was a second-team selection by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association after batting .464 with 40 RBIs, six homers and 17 doubles. Her impressive offensive season helped the Student Princes (30-13) repeat as Ohio Athletic Conference tournament champions.

During her career, Mitsch set school records for home runs (29), RBIs (148), doubles (48) and hits (201).

Mitsch, a double major in math and education, was a third-team selection last month to the College Sports Information Directors of America’s D-III Academic All-America teams.

Shining in Madison: Prairie Ridge grad Mike Reitcheck has a 2-0 record this summer as a starting pitcher for the Madison (Wis.) Mallards of the Northwoods League.

In three starts, Reitcheck has posted a 4.23 ERA and 15 strikeouts in 17 innings. His best outing of the season was June 8, when he scattered four hits and allowed no runs in a 2-1 victory against the Lakeshore Chinooks.

Reitcheck recently completed his junior season at D-I Pennsylvania, where he was named honorable mention All-Ivy League this spring.

In three seasons, he has posted a 7-9 record with a 2.91 ERA. The 18-team Northwoods League for top college players is based in Rochester, Minn.

Honors for top student: Crystal Lake’s Geoff Fortman, a junior defenseman at Buffalo’s Canisius College, was honored this week with the Atlantic Hockey Student-Athlete of the Year Award for the second consecutive season. A math major, Fortman achieved a 4.0 grade-point average for the second year in a row.

The Canisius men’s hockey program awarded Fortman with two honors this spring.

The team honored Fortman with its Dr. David B. Dietz Award for academic and athletic dedication along with the program’s Community Outreach Award, which he won for the second year in a row.

Fortman appeared in a career-high 39 games this season, collecting six assists for the Golden Griffins (12-225).

McHENRY COUNTY MEN’S AMATEUR GOLF TOURNAMENT

Northfield’s Sawtell overall champion, Barrington’s Haussmann 2nd

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, June 26, 2016

McHENRY – After shooting even par during the second round of the McHenry County Men’s Amateur Golf Tournament at McHenry County Club, Riley Bauman stopped and did the math.

Bauman, who has challenged for the tournament title in previous years, wasn’t counting his strokes.

He was simply trying to figure out the last time he played at McHenry Country Club.

“I haven’t played here since high school – when we had high school matches,” said Bauman, whose 71 on Saturday was the best of 51 scores.

“Six years? Maybe seven … depending on how you look at it.”

Close enough.

The 2010 Crystal Lake Central grad didn’t win the tournament title. But the low score of the day vaulted Bauman from seventh to third, finishing with a two-round score of 148. Marengo’s Hunter Simonini and Huntley’s Ben Allen also had a 148, with Bauman taking third place on a tiebreaker.

Northfield’s Steve Sawtell, a social member at McHenry Country Club playing in his first county amateur, was the overall champion with a 1-under 141, and Barrington’s Matt Haussmann was second with a 147.

“The course was in good shape. If you were hitting good shots, it was going where it needed to go, so that’s always nice,” said Bauman, who birdied the last hole to shoot 1-under on the back nine and finish in the top three. “My putting was definitely much better. I made more 5- and 6-footers – that was really killing me (Friday).”

Sawtell, who fired a tournament-best 3-under 68 on Day 1, said he played more conservatively with a five-stroke lead entering the final round. He shot 73 in the second round to seal the win.

“I knew that the pins would be tougher, and I knew that they would set it up harder,” said Sawtell, who birdied the 17th and 18th to win by six strokes. “I was very conservative. I steered away from things. I just wasn’t as aggressive as I was yesterday, and I

McHenry’s Ron Waytula was sixth overall with a 149, followed by Lake Villa’s Nate Daugherty (151), Cary’s Don Langland (155), Spring Grove’s Phil Webb (155), and Huntley’s Tyler Ross (156) and Fox River Grove’s Jonathan Barber (156).

Woodstock’s James Hagen shot a 75 in the final round for a two-day total of 157 to clinch the A Flight championship. Hagen, 24, hit two balls into the bushes on the ninth, but saved par going into the turn. “(On Friday) I hit the ball pretty awry, and today I didn’t pull out the driver except for once,” Hagen said. “I just kept it in play with a 3-wood and 4-iron, tried to hit some more greens and give myself more opportunities to make birdies.”

Hagen has played in the tournament since he was 18, nearly winning the championship in 2013 – when he was edged by Don Langland Jr. in a one-hole playoff.

“I went back a step today, in the A Flight,” Hagen laughed. “But, hey, you take what you can get.”

2016 McHenry grad Nick Hansen

placed second in the A Flight with a 162, Lakemoor’s George Myers (163) took third, Crystal Lake’s Mark Gates (163) was fourth, and Crystal Lake’s Kevin Karney and McHenry’s Casey Guth each had 168s.

Marengo’s Ron Pearson edged Woodstock’s Keith Steinwehe, 176177, to claim the B Flight, followed closely by McHenry’s Ron Erickson (179), Cary’s Jeff Brown (181), and Cary’s Dan Powers (182).

“I’ve never played the course. It’s a difficult course if you don’t have a short game,” Pearson said. “Bunker play got me today, but it was just a fun day. I wasn’t trying to win anything.”

“I can’t do much better,” Steinwehe added. “Just one short. I never play out here, but I liked it. ... The only thing I didn’t like was (hole) No. 2. It’s got two trees in the middle of the fairway. I didn’t hit it, but it’s in the way usually.”

Tournament Director Mike Haase, who also runs the McHenry County Junior Golf Association, brought back the county amateur after a oneyear absence. It had been run every year since 1984.

10 BULLS

What exactly are the Bulls doing?

Waiting for ’17 or bust

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com Gar Forman is paid to lie on nights like Thursday.

And the Bulls general manager is good at that aspect of his job.

So when he talks about “not shopping Jimmy Butler’’ one moment and then minutes later admits that they were looking for ways to move up from the No. 14th overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, well, it’s hard to distinguish fact from fiction.

Especially when the only asset they had to move up was Butler.

What Forman was honest about, however, was the Bulls had no intention of sending Butler to Minnesota to be reunited with former Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau. Forman admitted that he hasn’t spoken to Thibodeau since the 2011 Coach of the Year took over the Timberwolves organization, being named president of basketball operations and coach.

A league source confirmed that on Friday, stating that the Bulls were much more aggressive leading into the draft in talking to Boston at No. 3 about sending Butler there for a package that would allow them to use that top pick to select Kris Dunn before he could fall to Thibodeau.

Once the talks with the Celtics fizzled, again Thibodeau had the last laugh over the Bulls, landing Dunn at No. 5, and giving Minnesota maybe one of the best picks in the en- Jimmy Butler tire first round.

It also left Forman playing spin doctor on all things Butler.

“We have never made a call in regards to Jimmy Butler,’’ Forman said when the draft concluded. “We’ve talked about, we value Jimmy Butler, we’re very happy to have Jimmy Butler. We’ve got a phenomenal basketball player who was an All-Star

and All-NBA defender, is still young.

“Obviously we’ve got him under contract long term, those are all positive. He, again, is what we want to be. We’ve said this all along. We like Jimmy Butler, we did not shop Jimmy Butler. Did we receive calls? Of course we did, and that’s our job to listen to calls. We get calls on a lot of our players, and that’s stuff that happens all throughout the league.’’

So what exactly is the Bulls plan moving forward?

It would seem to be one with mixed messages, since they turned down a Pau Gasol trade that would have made them younger five months ago, sent Derrick Rose to New York to add big man Robin Lopez, as well as guards Jose Calderon and Jerian Grant, and then wouldn’t move on Butler for more youth.

“It’s all about ’17 for them,’’ a league source said.

The hope is the Bulls will be competitive this upcoming season, showing off Butler and Lopez, along with youth such

as Doug McDermott, Grant, and Denzel Valentine, who they landed with the 14th overall pick Thursday. And will take that package into the 2017 offseason with cap space for possibly two maximum players in a summer loaded with talented free agents such as Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, Blake Griffin and Kyle Lowry.

Not a bad plan, but one major flaw: This is not a front office group that has shown the capacity to land anything more than consolation prizes on the free agent market.

Carlos Boozer and Gasol were both Plan Bs, after missing out on the likes of LeBron James and then Carmelo Anthony.

But still, what choice do they have?

King James and Co. aren’t going anywhere soon, and the hope is the Bulls can start opening up a new window to dethrone James in ’17, when he will be 32 years old.

Not a sound plan, but it’s a plan.

Whose Bulls team is it? John Paxson and Gar Forman’s, of course To embrace whatever it is the Bulls are trying to do, you have to embrace the idea the people in charge know what they’re doing. There aren’t arms long enough for that.

When John Paxson and Gar Forman traded Derrick Rose to the Knicks on Wednesday, it made sense. Last season had turned into a tedious battle between Rose and Jimmy Butler about whose team it was, as though anybody would want it. So a choice had to be made, and the Bulls chose Butler. Fine. Goodbye, Derrick. Wish things had gone differently.

But then came news Thursday that the team had serious discussions with the Celtics about trading Butler on draft night. The Bulls reportedly would have gotten the third pick overall and used it to take Providence guard Kris Dunn.

Those discussions fell apart.

Actively considering a Butler trade meant Gar-Pax was thinking of going the rebuilding route, which means that, despite all the dysfunction of the last few years, the two not only still have jobs but very much have chairman Jerry Reinsdorf’s complete confidence.

Or, as I like to put it, holy crap.

Longtime Reinsdorf observers know he lets his employees do their jobs and is almost irrationally loyal to

the superstar he can be.

You build around a player like Butler, who can score and defend at a very high level, a rare combination.

But you need the right people doing the construction work. The builders are Paxson, the Bulls’ vice president of basthem. But it’s nonetheless jarring to ketball operations, and Forman, their the senses when ineffective employees general manager. The only place they look at the wheel, tilt their heads and have inspired confidence is in whatever start thinking a reinvention might be room Reinsdorf happens to be. in order.

So a divorce was necessary after phone on trade inquiries. But this was the 2014-15 season. Again, I get it – these much more than due diligence. This things happen.

over all the way and clean house. But we know from long experience that Reinsdorf doesn’t like to start over when it comes to his executives. We know it from the White Sox, and we know it from the Bulls.

Outside of that warm cocoon, Paxson and Forman have lost the benefit of the doubt. Inside, it’s business as usual, even as the franchise drifts to points unknown.

I’ve watched a lot of Denzel Valentine, whom the Bulls took with the 14th overall pick. The former Michigan State star is a tough player whom teammates naturally follow, but we’ll see whether he has enough athleticism for the NBA. Again, you have to embrace the idea that Paxson and Forman know what they’re doing. To do that, you have to go back to the drafting of Butler in 2011 to find definitive proof.

Or, if you choose, you can go back to 2006, when Paxson used the second overall pick to take LaMarcus Aldridge, then traded him and a second-round pick for Tyrus Thomas (taken fourth by the Trail Blazers) and Viktor Khryapa.

How’s your trust level doing now?

MARLINS 9, CUBS 6

Until then, the Cubs were on pace for 114 wins and one of the top 10 winning percentages in baseball history.

Which is great for any team. Until, historically, October – when gilded, six-month carriage rides to the postseason have often turned to pumpkins.

“It’s a completely different game, the regular season and the playoffs,” Suzuki said.

And no team in baseball experiences a greater difference from regular season to postseason than the Cubs, whose record drought has been romanticized, dissected, mythologized and exploited for generations.

In fact, five of the top 11 seasons of all-time finished without trophies – five of seven if you remove the Yankees’ aberrant success.

And one of the biggest reasons the Cleveland Cavaliers championship against the Warriors was of historic significance in title-starved Cleveland is that the 1954 Indians (.721) and 1995 Indians (.694) are two of the all-time greats that failed to finish what they started.

CUBS NOTES

Lackey blows lead in shortest start as Cubs lose 5th of last 6

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

MIAMI – The Cubs took their talents – and their best record in baseball – to South Beach only to get sand kicked in their faces by a low-budget, low-expectations Marlins team two of the last three games.

On Saturday, it was veteran John Lackey blowing a three-run lead in the middle innings as the Marlins came back to win, 9-6, and hand the Cubs their fifth loss in six games.

“I mean, it started off with an infield hit,” said Lackey, who retired 10 straight at one point but couldn’t get out of the fifth. “I don’t know what planet that’s a hit on, by the way. It’s

a flat-out out. But I’ve got to do better than that.

“We get four runs where we’re at right now as a team and four runs needs to be enough to win that game.”

It had been enough 44 of the previous 47 times they scored at least four runs this season.

Not that anybody in the clubhouse is sweating the Cubs’ toughest week of the season as they await the returns of several injured veterans, while using – on this day – four rookies, three of whom made major league debuts within the last three weeks.

“We still have the same mood,” said shortstop Addison Russell, who hit a three-run homer but also committed a costly error for the second game in a

row. “There’s a lot of younger ballplayers out there. I like the [aggressive] style we’re playing. It’s just sometimes bad things [happen] and then it snowballs from there.”

Russell’s throwing error on Ichiro Suzuki’s one-out infield “hit” (allowing Suzuki to take second) was the play that got under Lackey’s skin – Suzuki’s 37th hit off Lackey (most against any pitcher he’s faced) and 2,984th of his major-league career.

“I feel like I’ve given up a lot of those kind of infield hits to him,” said Lackey (7-4), who was done three batters, and two runs, later – his shortest outing of the season.

Suzuki also drew a leadoff walk and scored in the first, raising his lifetime

on-base percentage against Lackey to .349.

Notes: Second baseman Ben Zobrist, who didn’t start because of a bruised foot suffered when he was hit by a pitch Friday, came off the bench to pinch hit in the eighth and finished the game.

• On just his ninth day in the majors, red-hot rookie Willson Contreras made his fifth start, this time in left field – his third position in as many nights. He walked and doubled home a run, making him 8-for-20 with four extra-base hits and nine RBIs. • First baseman Anthony Rizzo returned to the lineup after missing two days with back pain. He doubled twice.

• Sunday, June 26, 2016

MIAMI – The team that completed the greatest season in modern baseball history didn’t lose back-to-back games until May, didn’t lose three consecutive until September, and didn’t come close to winning a World Series.

So is it possible the 2001 Seattle Mariners might have been better off in October if they’d actually won fewer games? If they’d been pushed more during the season, if they’d avoided the 116-win air of invincibility that never is real in baseball anyway?

History suggests as much.

So does Ichiro Suzuki – the Mariners’ rookie American League MVP that year.

“You look at the result and you can say that,” Suzuki, who started Saturday in center for the Marlins against the Cubs, said in Japanese, with the Marlins’ Allen Turner translating. “But you can’t say that while you’re doing it, because you can’t lose on purpose, obviously.

“During the season we won so many games that there was never a game in the latter part that you had to win,” he said. “You were just winning games. That pressure of ‘you have to win’ and trying to win those games, we didn’t experience those.

But in the playoffs, every day is a must-win situation. That’s the difference. And that gap is wide.”

Fast-forward nearly 15 years. And all of a sudden the Cubs’ four-game losing streak – which coincidentally

team looking at the big picture is giddy about the idea of making regular-season history on the way to the playoffs?

Think again. Or just think Steph Curry.

“Your focus has to be putting your team in the best position to have success at the most important times of the season and never losing sight of that, that ultimately is the most important thing,” Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer said. “And if that requires at times to take a big-picture view of your season, I think that’s important to do.”

So the Cubs are using some of their midseason injury woes to get extended looks at potential late-season depth, such as outfielder Albert Almora Jr., catcher Willson Contreras and relievers Gerardo Concepcion and Spencer Patton.

And they’re stretching out reliever Adam Warren at AAA Iowa to make a spot start before the All-Star break – and maybe again afterward – to help keep the rotation fresh for the long haul.

And they’re looking – constantly looking – for more on the trade market.

“Because the most important time to be peaking is late September and the month of October,” said Hoyer, who’s well aware of what history has to say about that.

Three of the top four regular seasons in major league history ended short of championships – including the record .763-percentage Cubs of 1906, who lost to the White Sox in the World Series.

12 BLUE JAYS 10, WHITE SOX 8

Sox 1st-round pick Collins gets first taste of the Cell

By DAVID JUST

For the Sun-Times Patrick Collins stood near home plate and took in the moment before Saturday’s Blue Jays-White Sox game at U.S. Cellular Field.

He beamed with pride as he watched his 21-year-old son, Sox first-round draft choice Zack Collins, drive baseballs into the outfield during batting practice.

For the White Sox players and coaches in attendance, this was just another day at work. For Zack Collins and his family, this was “a dream come true.”

“I told Zack: ‘Listen, these people believe in you.’” Patrick Collins said. “’They believe in your catching. They believe in your hitting.

They basically believe in you.’ He just wanted somebody to believe in him, and these guys do. So, I’m really ecstatic that he fell in this position.”

The day was Zack Collins’ first taste of Major League Baseball, the White Sox and The Cell.

The 10 th overall pick was in the house a day after signing his minor league contract – with a $3,380,600 signing bonus – to throw out the ceremonial first pitch and take in a game with his parents, grandparents, sister and girlfriend.

“It’s been a crazy couple of days,” Zack Collins said. “I’m just enjoying it.”

Patrick was Zack’s first coach,

The White Sox’s Brett Lawrie (right) celebrates with first base coach Daryl Boston after hitting an RBI single during the sixth inning Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays in Chicago. teaching him the essentials of baseball as early as 3 years old.

Patrick played football and baseball in high school and said he began playing competitive slow-pitch softball later in his life with people such as Ozzie and Jose Canseco and Lenny Harris.

Zack grew up around those softball fields, playing catch with former pros and finding he had a knack for the game.

“Everything I know now, I learned from my dad,” Zack Collins said.

“He’s always been the one that threw me BP and worked with me in the infield and the outfield and catching.

He’s the best dad ever.”

Given his upbringing around pro athletes, Collins seemed completely

unfazed after taking batting practice with Justin Morneau, Melky Cabrera and Jose Abreu. He was just 4 years old when Morneau was signed by the Twins in 1999. He was 11 when Morneau won the American League MVP. Collins hit in the cage, took batting practice in front of Robin Ventura, ran the bases and spoke to a throng of media afterward.

“I got all the jitters out in the cage,” Collins said. “When I came out here I was just having fun swinging the bat and talking to the guys.

They are all great guys and it was a lot of fun.”

Collins speaks like a player who plans to be in the big leagues quickly. The pace of his ascent may depend on where he lands defensively.

Scouts aren’t sure that Collins will remain behind the plate as a defensive catcher. Collins started catching in high school and, along with Sox scouting director Nick Hostetler, believes he’ll still be there when he gets called up for his first game.

“I think that’s where I’ll stick,” he said.

There’s less doubt about the bat Collins will bring with him. The 6-3, 220-pound Collins batted .363 with 16 homers and 59 RBIs for the University of Miami this season.

Perhaps even more impressive were his 69 walks, just 48 strikeouts and his .358/.534/.631 slash line.

WHITE SOX NOTES

Seven homers not enough for White Sox in 10-8 loss to Blue Jays

By DAVID JUST

For the Sun-Times

The White Sox matched a 61-yearold franchise record with seven home runs Saturday against the Blue Jays.

They also became just the third team in Major League history to hit seven home runs and lose.

On a hot, 86-degree day with the wind blowing out at 10 mph, the Sox blasted four homers off starter R.A. Dickey and three more against three different relievers in a 10-8 loss to Toronto.

Hitting seven home runs and losing had been achieved just twice before and both times by the Tigers (in 1995 and 2004).

The Sox last hit seven homers in a game on April 23, 1955, at Kansas City.

Every home run Saturday came

with no runners on.

“You were hoping there’d be a couple guys on,” Ventura said. “I figured hopefully we could get some guys on there in the ninth and get one up in the wind and see what happens. I’m just glad the guys keep battling back offensively. That’s a good sign.”

Brett Lawrie hit two homers, including an inside-the-park home run, and became the first Sox player since Ron Santo in 1974 to hit a homer and an inside-the-park homer in the same game.

Dioner Navarro, J.B. Shuck, Tim Anderson, Alex Avila and Adam Eaton all got in on the action, too.

“That’s the way baseball goes,” Eaton said. “Baseball is a weird game.”

Lawrie, Navarro and Shuck went back-to-back-to-back in the second inning, the most consecutive homers

by the Sox since hitting four in a row against Kansas City in 2008.

Shuck’s homer was his first as a member of the White Sox. The Sox never led after starting pitcher Miguel Gonzalez surrendered three runs in the first inning. He gave up five straight hits, including three straight doubles.

“We hit seven home runs and we didn’t win the ballgame,” said Gonzalez, who allowed eight earned runs on 10 hits in 51/3 innings. “That just can’t be happening.”

Gavin Floyd exits with injury: Blue Jays reliever and former White Sox starter Gavin Floyd exited Saturday’s game in the bottom of the sixth inning with right shoulder tightness.

Trainers came out to check on Floyd, who had a 2-0 count on Shuck, and promptly took him out of the game

with nobody warming in the pen.

“He felt some shoulder tightness in his right shoulder, so we took him out and he’ll get some more tests,” Jays manager John Gibbons said. “I don’t think we can afford to wait very long, that’s for sure. It could be something.”

Floyd played seven seasons with the Sox from 2007-13. He tore the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow and suffered a torn flexor muscle in his arm during his final season with the Sox. With the Braves in 2014, Floyd had season-ending surgery to repair a fractured olecranon, the curvy end of the ulna bone at the tip of his elbow. He suffered the same injury last year with Cleveland.

Floyd has appeared in 28 games for the Blue Jays this season, posting a 4.06 ERA in 31 innings.

third-overall pick Dylan Strome as his center.

“They definitely helped me a lot,” DeBrincat said. “Watching them in practice really improved my game a lot.

You try to pick pieces of their game and use it in your own game. Just watching those guys and being able to play with those guys is pretty remarkable.”

DeBrincat was one of three second-round picks for the Hawks, who landed two by trading Shaw to Montreal on Friday night. The Hawks took DeBrincat, defenseman Chad Krys and Russian winger Artur Kayumov in a 12-pick span. Krys played alongside DeBrincat at the World Juniors, and crashed DeBrincat’s press scrum, jokingly asking what it’s like to be drafted to the same team as his old teammate.

“Unbelievable,” a smiling DeBrincat said. “A great guy and the best ‘D’ I’ve ever played with.”

Krys, a 5-11 Philadelphia native, had three goals and 26 assists in 53 games

with the U.S. national team development program, a favorite source of prospects for Bowman and director of scouting Mark Kelley. Krys will play at Boston University next season. Kelley marveled at Krys’ poise and maturity, but Krys said he has plenty of room to grow.

“There are a lot of things I need to work on,” Krys said. “That’s why I’m going to BU. But I think [the Hawks] like skating defensemen who can move the puck quickly, get the puck up to their forwards, and handle the puck well and be involved. So it’s great to be part of an organization that has defensemen who play like that.”

Kayumov, a 5-10 Russian, had 12 goals and 19 assists in 39 games with the Russian under-18 team. Through an interpreter, he called himself a goal-scorer and a leader – and a Hawks fan.

“This is my favorite team growing up and that’s all you need to say,” he said. “It’s amazing.”

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Shaw ‘happy and excited’ after trade to Canadiens

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com BUFFALO, N.Y. – If Andrew Shaw was devastated by being traded away from the only NHL team he’s ever known, he did a good job of hiding it Saturday. Shaw opened his introductory teleconference with Montreal media with a chipper, “Bonjour, everyone!” and sounded genuinely excited about playing for the storied Canadiens. “[Friday], emotions were on a roller coaster,” Shaw said. “But when it’s all said and done, I’m happy and excited. I’m three hours from home, which is big for me and my family. Should be a fun year.”

Shaw is still a restricted free agent, but TSN reported that once Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin finishes up with the draft, it shouldn’t be long before the two sides agree on a lengthy contract extension. A source said Shaw was seeking $4.5 million a year from the Hawks. He may have been willing to take less for a longer contract, but the cap-strapped Hawks couldn’t do either.

“I think we were pretty close, but they have cap issues and it’s tough to get around,” Shaw said of the Hawks. “It was tough. I thought we were close. I loved being in Chicago; it’s a second home to me.

A lot of great memories there. I had a lot of friends and family in that city, so I’ll miss it dearly.”

Bergevin was instrumental in the Hawks drafting Shaw while an assistant GM in Chicago – “He likes the rat in me,” Shaw

said – and could slot him alongside another agitator in Brendan Gallagher.

“Me and Gallagher have had some fun battles,” Shaw said. “Now I’m excited to be on his side to annoy people together, I guess.

It’ll be a fun team to play with. I’m pretty excited about it. Can’t wait for September.”

What’s next?

Stan Bowman wouldn’t say whether the Hawks will be pursuing any of their own unrestricted free agents, including Andrew Ladd, Dale Weise, Tomas Fleischmann, Brandon Mashinter and Michal Rozsival.

But with free agency beginning on July 1, and with teams able to interview prospective free agents starting as of Saturday, it shouldn’t take long.

“We have a pretty good idea of where things are going to end up,” Bowman said.

“Probably won’t be too long [before] you guys figure out who we’ll be signing.”

Bowman wouldn’t rule out adding a veteran defenseman in free agency. The Hawks are expected to try to lure 37-year-old Brian Campbell to a relatively cheap contract.

Noteworthy

The Hawks moved picks twice on Saturday to gain selections in next year’s draft, which will be in Chicago. They now have 10 picks in 2017, including their first first-rounder since 2014. “It’ll be a special time,” Bowman said.

David Quenneville, Joel’s second cousin, was picked in the seventh round by the New York Islanders.

• Sunday, June 26, 2016

BUFFALO, N.Y. – A day after trading away a scrappy, undersized, productive forward with a nose for the net, the Blackhawks went out and drafted another.

But don’t mistake second-round pick Alex DeBrincat for an Andrew Shaw clone. After all, Shaw never scored more than 22 goals in the Ontario Hockey League. DeBrincat has scored 51.

Twice.

He’s tiny at 5-foot-7, but his gaudy numbers had some pundits expecting him to go in the first round. So when he fell to the Hawks at No. 39, Stan Bowman – who’s never had a problem giving small players a shot – pounced.

“It’s pretty special what Alex has been able to do,” Bowman said. I don’t know the exact number of guys that scored 50 goals back-to-back in the OHL. It’s a very small list. … He’s not

a big guy, but he has unique skill and has great hands and great anticipation and he knows how to put the puck in the net.”

DeBrincat is a Detroit-area native who grew up a Red Wings fan – “Not anymore,” he said – and will almost certainly be back with the Erie Otters when the season begins. But he said his goal is to crack the NHL lineup “as soon as possible.”

“I’m a gritty goal-scorer,” said DeBrincat, who played a season at Lake Forest Academy and attended a few Hawks games. “I like to get around the net to score goals and I don’t mind playing the body. As a small guy, I have to play a little bigger than I am.”

DeBrincat’s had some big-name linemates with the OHL’s Erie Otters over the past two seasons. In 2014-15, he had 51 goals and 53 assists with 2015 first-overall pick Connor McDavid as his center. This past season, he had 51 goals and 50 assists, he had 2015

14 COPA AMERICA: COLOMBIA 1, U.S. 0

U.S. finishes 4th in Copa America

By BOB BAUM

The Associated Press GLENDALE, Ariz. – Not quite a victory for the United States. Just a good enough effort to leave the team feeling better about itself.

Carlos Bacca beat goalkeeper Tim Howard by sliding to poke in a headed cross in the 31st minute, and the U.S. finished fourth in the Copa America with a 1-0 defeat against Colombia on Saturday night.

After losing to Argentina, 4-0, in the semifinals, the 31st-ranked U.S. was beaten by No. 3 Colombia for the second time in the 16-nation tournament. But the Americans gave a far better performance Saturday night.

“We didn’t get played off the pitch tonight,” U.S. defender Geoff Cameron said. “If anything, I thought we dominated the game. I thought we had a lot of chances that we just didn’t put in.”

The U.S. outshot Colombia, 10-9, and had 49 percent possession. Bobby Wood came closest to scoring for the U.S. when he hit a post in the 62nd, one minute after Colombia’s Juan Cuadrado hit the underside of the crossbar.

The U.S. matched its previous best finish in the tournament, when it lost to Colombia in the 1995 fourthplace game at Uruguay.

After the Americans lost to Jamaica in the semifinals of last year’s CONCACAF Gold Cup and struggled in the semifinal round of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup, U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann was hoping his team would rebound in the Copa, when right back DeAndre Yedlin, defender John Brooks, midfielder Gyasi Zardes and forward Bobby Wood solidified their positions as regular starters, and Brooks and Cameron became a steady pairing in central defense.

“After six weeks being on the road to pull up a performance like that in a meaningless third-place game in a certain way,” Klinsmann said, “I think they deserve a huge, huge compliment.”

Darlington Nagbe and 17-year-old Christian Pulisic again entered as second-half subs, two more players who could break through and replace veterans during the remaining 16 months of World Cup qualifying.

Colombia, which never has won the Copa America, finished third for the fourth time but first since 1995.

Argentina plays Chile for the title on Sunday night in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Howard said the U.S. team didn’t allow itself to get pushed around like it did against Argentina.

“We want to get in people’s faces,” he said. “One of our strengths is physicality. We weren’t happy with that after the Argentina game, so there was a response tonight. I thought that was good.”

Both teams finished a man short, when American defender Michael Orozco and Colombian defender Santiago Arias were ejected for a confrontation in the third minute of second-half stoppage time. Orozco, who also got a red card against Nigeria in the 2008 Olympics, is suspended for the U.S.’s World Cup qualifier at St. Vincent and the Grenadines on Sept. 2.

Klinsmann inserted the 37-yearold Howard into his lineup in place of Brad Guzan, who had started the previous nine games.

“I thought we played well,” Howard said. “We certainly could have won the game. So a positive performance, and certainly the last four or five weeks have been a step in the right direction.”

Matt Besler was in central defense instead of Brooks, who was bothered by knee inflammation, and Orozco was at left back because Fabian Johnson has a sore groin.

Midfielders Jermaine Jones and Alejandro Bedoya returned to the lineup along with Wood after the three served one-game suspensions.

Colombia scored after Cuadrado, from along a flank, cut the ball back to James Rodriguez, just outside the penalty area. Arias made a run to get by Bedoya, and Rodriguez lofted a pass to Arias, who jumped at the edge of the 6-yard box and headed the ball on a bounce across Howard’s goal to Bacca. The forward slid ahead of Yedlin to nudge the ball in for his 13th international goal, his second of the tournament.

Clint Dempsey, who led the U.S. with three goals in the tournament, nearly scored on a free kick in the 51st minute. Colombia goalkeeper David Ospina dived left and lifted his right arm to tip Dempsey’s effort wide.

“It was just one of those days,” Yedlin said. “We got into the box, just nothing was falling for us. So you take the positives from this game and there were certainly a lot of them. I thought for how aggressive we were being offensively we actually defended pretty well. I thought we pressed pretty well and I thought overall it was a good team performance.”

NEW YORK – Not even a broken nose could slow down Tina Charles.

She had 21 points and 13 rebounds to lead New York to an 80-79 victory over the Sky on Friday night for the Liberty’s sixth consecutive win – their longest streak in six years.

Charles was sporting a clear mask after she broke her nose Wednesday in a double-overtime win over Atlanta.

Elena Delle Donne finished with a season-high 31 points to lead the Sky (6-8).

Cappie Pondexter added 20 for the Sky, who have dropped four of five.

Sugar Rodgers added 13 points for the Liberty (10-4).

TEAM

Brazil and Rio so close to the games, which will open Aug. 5 after months of political turmoil and financial crisis for federal, state and city authorities.

“This is another severe blow,” Mario Andrada, the spokesman of the Rio Games organizing committee, told The Associated Press.

If the Rio lab is not reinstated in the next six weeks, other testing centers with WADA accreditation include: UCLA in Los Angeles; Salt Lake City; Bogota, Colombia; Havana; and Mexico City.

In a statement, the International Olympic Committee said the suspension would not “affect either the integrity or the scope of the testing program” at the games.

Twenty-two-time Olympic medalist Michael Phelps answers a reporter’s question during a news conference at the U.S. Olympic team swimming trials Saturday in Omaha, Neb.

OLYMPIC SWIMMING

Phelps seeks fitting Olympic do-over, starting at U.S. trials

By PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press

OMAHA, Neb. – For anyone else, six medals would’ve been a marvelous way to exit the Olympic stage.

Not so for Michael Phelps.

When he looks back to the London Olympics, they sound like a total failure.

“I wasn’t happy doing what I was doing,” Phelps said Saturday. “I sure as hell wasn’t training. We all saw that. I tried to fake it pretty much.”

Phelps is all in this time, for what is essentially a do-over of his farewell to competitive swimming. The Rio Olympics are the ultimate goal, but first he must get by a meet that might be even more nerve-racking.

The U.S. Olympic trials, which begin Sunday for what will be eight sold-out days of swimming at a temporary pool constructed inside the CenturyLink Center in downtown Omaha, determine the roster of the American team. Only the top two finishers in each event are assured of a spot in Brazil.

“For us being as strong of a swimming country as we are, I think there’s probably more pressure at trials than the games,” said Phelps, who with 18 golds and 22 medals overall is the most decorated athlete in Olympic history.

“We have almost 2,000 people here, and a maximum of 52 will make the team, so it’s a pretty small chance.”

No one expects Phelps to miss out, especially given the way he’s turned his life around since a second drunken-driving arrest in 2014. He underwent weeks of inpatient therapy, committed

himself to sobriety, reconnected with his long-estranged father, got engaged and – just seven weeks ago – became a father.

His infant son, Boomer, will be in the stands with his mother and the rest of Phelps’ family, too young to understand that his dad will be trying to qualify for his fifth Olympics but serving as a huge inspiration nonetheless.

“Fatherhood has been awesome,” Phelps said, beaming. “Just being able to have my son, my first child, be able to watch me at some of my last competitions is pretty special. I’m sure he is not going to remember it, but just to be able to document that is something that will be pretty cool and be pretty fun to share with him years down the road.”

Phelps has entered five events at the trials. He won’t get started until Monday with the preliminaries of the 200-meter freestyle and the 200 butterfly. He’s also set to compete in the 100 fly, 100 free and 200 individual medley.

Based on his program at last year’s U.S. national championships, Phelps will be looking to compete in three individual races in Rio: the 100 fly, 200 fly and 200 IM. The freestyle events are probably nothing more than a means to ensure he has a spot on all three Olympic relays.

With his 31st birthday less than a week away, Phelps is likely to cut back on the program he swam at the last three Olympics. He competed in eight events at both Athens in 2004 and Beijing in 2008, famously breaking Mark Spitz’s record with eight gold medals in the Great Haul of China.

5K and 1 Mile Run/Walk This event will benefit veterans in McHenry County through agencies such as: • TLS Veterans (Transforming Lives through Service to Veterans) • Veterans Assistance Commission (VAC) WHEN: Sunday, June 26, 2016 • Race Starts at 7:30am LOCATION: McHenry County College in Crystal Lake Each 5K participant receives a T-Shirt with registration.

WHY DO I HEAR BUT NOT UNDERSTAND?

FIND OUT WHY!

FRIDAY

1

Do you sometimes feel people are mumbling or not speaking clearly? Do you find it difficult to follow a conversation in a noisy restaurant or crowded room? If so you might be interested in some recent findings.

The most common type of hearing loss is sensorineural, in which the inner ear becomes damaged.

Sound travels through the ear canal, the ear drum (tympanic membrane), the middle ear, and is transmitted to the inner ear (cochlea). As sound-generated vibrations enter the cochlea, they cause microscopic hair cells to vibrate, which in-turn transmit neuro-electrical impulses to the brain.

When these hair cells become damaged, they cannot vibrate in the appropriate way. The resulting impulses to the brain are dampened or garbled, making comprehension difficult or impossible.

Damage to hair cells is irreparable. But compensation is possible.

It took years for your brain to learn to interpret the meaning of sounds. If the neurons that carry signals to the brain are experiencing prolonged lack of stimulation because of damaged hair cells (auditory deprivation), they degenerate, leaving dead regions where certain sound frequencies can no longer be interpreted. In other words, “use it or lose it” applies to hearing too. Fortunately, recent advances in digital hearing technology make it possible to detect damaged and dead regions within the inner ear. Using “visual speech mapping” and “real ear measurement” processes, the highly trained audiologists and hearing instrument specialists at AccuQuest Hearing Centers (a national network of over 190 locations) can target regions of frequency loss and compensate for damaged hair cells. This targeted stimulation of neurons can aid in making speech comprehensible again.

Hearing loss, regardless of degree, can interfere with one’s ability to participate in a world that greatly depends on communication for social, educational, and occupational activities. Not all hearing loss can be fixed with hearing aids, but there’s a good chance we can help you with yours. Please give us a chance to help before your loss worsens.

Our local experts have been trained in the most advanced fitting procedures on the most sophisticated technology available. Call today for a FREE consultation and 30-day satisfaction guaranteed trial on ALL purchases. Call us today! Special offers end on JULY 1st, 2016.

Body coach

Joe Wicks: ‘Trying to get the whole world lean’

By LOUISE DIXON

The Associated Press

LONDON – With more than a million Instagram followers and a best-selling book, Joe Wicks is back for round two with “Lean in 15: The Shape Plan,” released earlier this month.

With an idea born in his London kitchen three years ago, the 30-year-old personal trainer known as “The Body Coach” began posting 15-second videos of himself preparing simple healthy meals, shouting out directions for preparation in his own spin on “fast food.”

Add to the mix regular photos and videos of his sixpack abs and Wicks found internet stardom and landed a book contract for his first book, “Lean in 15,” a combination of his recipes and cardio workouts.

•••

“I just have fun with it, I’m not too preachy,” he said.

“Plus, the recipes are so easy. It truly is a 15-minute meal.”

Top of Wicks’ ingredients list is “midget trees” – his name for broccoli – so much so he now can’t escape it as his trademark vegetable.

“Every time I turn up for photo shoots they’ve got broccoli and they’re like, ‘(bicep) curl this.’ ” And when it comes to workouts, Wicks is all about high-intensity interval workouts that can be done anytime, anywhere.

AP photo

This undated image released by Henry Wood House shows personal trainer and Instagram personality Joe Wicks. Wicks is the author of “Lean in 15: The Shape Plan.”

“I literally do just 25 minutes, get in there, smash it, I feel like I’m going to pass out but I know that once I’ve done it, I can enjoy my day and eat more food. And that’s what I love. I love food,” Wicks said.

And good news for dieters, his philosophy is to ditch the calorie counting and scales.

“Forget about weighing yourself every day on the sad step,” he said.

If you focus on the quality of the food you’re cooking and train hard, then “the rest of it takes care of itself,” he said.

And now he’s back with a second book “Lean in 15: The Shape Plan,” which centers on building lean muscle with resistance training with, of course, a whole new set of quick, healthy recipes.

But don’t be fooled into thinking Wicks’ body always is a temple. He’s not adverse to the occasional drink and a burger.

“I have a little blowout now and again,” he said with a laugh.

“But I’m just proving that you can still have a fun social life and still have a lean body.”

EILEEN C. WHITE Hometown: Marengo Latest Book: “Lucky Debonair Champion Thoroughbred of Danada Farm: The Story of the 1965 Kentucky Derby Winner” Publisher: Self-published Release Date: December 2015 Where can we find it?

Amazon, search Lucky Debonair.

What’s it about?

Daniel and Ada Rice were involved in thoroughbred horse racing for 30 years and dreamed of winning the Kentucky Derby with their homebred horses, trained at Danada Farm in Wheaton, Illinois. Follow the story of the 1962 foal Lucky Debonair and Danada Farm as told through photographs, racing stable documents and interviews.

Where did the idea come from?

I watched my first Kentucky Derby on television in 1966. I was an 8-year-old girl, an avid reader of Walter Farley’s “Black Stallion” series of books, with a dream of adopting a pony from Chincoteague Island. As I became aware of the television broadcast of the Kentucky Derby, here was my chance to watch real horses, an opportunity sorely missing in my small Michigan town surrounded by dairy cows. Watching the post parade on black-and-white TV, I realized these horses came in different shapes and sizes. Some ponied quietly, while others were on their toes, shiny with sweat. I decided to select the three horses I liked best. Thus began my life-long passion for handicapping and understanding equine conformation. And a surprise followed, one of my three horses won the race. Kauai King won in an exciting stretch run. And more surprising events followed, for year after year, from 1967 until 1974, one of my three selected horses always won. Based solely on post-parade conformation, I thought I was quite the handicapper. No daily racing form, no railbird uncle recommending a horse, only one year when I was influenced by a newspaper article about Canonero II, a 1971 Kentucky Derby entry that shocked the fans as he closed from 18th place to get up to win the race. The 1975 Kentucky Derby is the only race I have missed, ironically because I was on a bus back to Michigan, after my high school marching band had participated in the Pegasus Parade and performed at Derby Festival events.

I moved from Michigan to Texas, to Utah, back to Michigan, finally settling down in Illinois, but

always enjoying my yearly tradition of picking my favorite three horses.

In the fall of 1997, I attended my first Danada Fall Festival, and what awaited me was one of the biggest surprises in my life, for as I toured the large white barn, I was informed the site was the former stable of a Kentucky Derby winning horse. Imagine that! I had been living so close to real thoroughbred history for more than three years, and did not even know it.

Thus began my adventure.

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

Biography, because truth can be stranger than fiction. For example, Daniel and Ada Rice had their pedigreed retriever with them one morning while watching morning works at a Florida racetrack. They noticed the dog had picked up a piece of paper, a wager from the previous day, evidently discarded by a racing fan. But was it a losing ticket? No, but a wager worth $600, a mutual ticket on the winning horse from the eighth race the day before.

Who is the intended audience?

Sports and horse racing enthusiasts, equestrians, Chicago history buffs.

Why is this story important to you?

Daniel Rice was not only an infamous grain broker, but a wonderful steward of the land and very active in Illinois agriculture. He was a Chicago sports enthusiast, having ownership in Arlington Park and Balmoral racetracks and the Chicago Cubs. Daniel and Ada Rice were philanthropists to more than 15 Chicago area charities and institutions including the Field Museum, Brookfield Zoo, Shedd Aquarium, Art Institute, Adler Planetarium, Lyric Opera, Chicago Botanic Gardens, Children’s Home and Aid Society, Rehab Institute of Chicago, The Boy Scouts, Illinois Institute of Technology and Benedictine University.

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

For 18 years, I interviewed jockeys and trainers, visited numerous horse farms and spent countless enjoyable hours reading through the archives of Chicago area newspapers. To review horse racing archives required multiple visits to California, New York, Kentucky and the University of Illinois in Urbana. Since I was collecting information for four different Kentucky Derbies, and other thoroughbred race records from 1944-1975, I soon created a large library of more than 10 three-ring binders I am donating to the Friends of Danada History Committee.

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

I enjoyed the interviews and how the conversations always lead me down another path of discovery. Locating a publisher was a challenge.

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

I started with one self-publishing company, but switched to another because of the high cost of printing a hardcover, high quality book.

(Let’s face it, who will pay $62 for a hardcover book with glossy pages?) I was able to locate another company that published a soft cover version at a reasonable price.

What is your education/background?

From the University of Utah I have a bachelor of science degree in biology and a master’s degree in public health. Later in life I earned a Master’s in Secondary Science Education. I am a scientist by day but a thoroughbred historian and cowgirl by night.

How/why did you decide to write a book?

I first wanted to write a historical novel based on the Kentucky Derby, but when I learned there was a historical archiving project in my community, it was easy to change from novelist to biographer. The reason I wrote the book is even before Dust Commander proved an Illinois-bred could win the Kentucky Derby, two natives of Illinois, avid thoroughbred breeders, brought back to their home state the coveted golden trophy that represents winning the most famous horse race in the world. For the last 39 years,

a Kentucky Derby trophy has quietly been cared for at Benedictine University in Lisle.

How did it get there? Perhaps in the spirit of the legendary Jim Bolus there was one more Derby Dreams story to be told.

Who are your favorite authors?

Sinclair Lewis, Terry Tempest Williams, Dick Francis Pick one: Danielle Steel or John Grisham?

Danielle Steel Pick one: Stephen King or Nicholas Sparks?

Nicholas Sparks Pick one: Ebooks or hard/paperbacks?

Hard/paperbacks Have you written anything else?

I have published in many scientific journals.

What’s next for you?

I was fortunate to interview many colorful characters in the horse racing world and I hope to share those stories in magazines articles.

I also am writing stories for the Friends of Danada archives.

How can readers discover more about you and you work?

I offer lectures and book signings. Contact derby65@att.net.

No rules, no boundaries when it comes to ‘rock bottom’

I hear a lot of people talking about addicts and alcoholics having to “hit rock bottom” before they are really ready for help.

The problem is everyone seems to have their own idea about the actual description of “rock bottom.” So what’s the definition of “rock bottom”?

Some people think of “rock bottom” stereotypically as skid row or morning drinking, while others think of it as losing everything financially.

Some people have the idea “rock bottom” is when someone has physical damage, and others see it as a legal thing. So is it a place, an event, a series of events, a particular point

in time? Folks often wonder whether there’s a definitive way to get there, why it has to be that bad and how long it takes to get there.

I think “rock bottom” may be reached via any of the above methods, but the methods above are only some of the myriad of ways to reach that place.

“Rock bottom isn’t a location or an event or a series of events or a point in time, it is an emotional condition of despair and defeat. As it has been said by people far wiser than me: “The bottom is between your ears.”

Some people may need to deteriorate physically to reach that state, while others

are more affected by the harm they’ve caused in relationships. Others may need jail time or a moral meltdown, while still others require homelessness.

A complete financial collapse may be one person’s “bottom,” while another may need a long slow slide into reclusiveness or depression.

“The bottom” has no rules, no boundaries and takes no prisoners. The only requirement is the destination which is despair and defeat. A person can enter treatment without yet having reached that emotional condition because they may need help finding it, but they will never get well unless

REASONS TO USE A TRAVEL AGENT • Save Money!

accountant, your travel agent knows you, your lifestyle, and tastes.

Armed with this knowledge and statistical information stored confidentially through state-of-the-art technology, an agent becomes a trusted advisor.

• Knowledge Travel agents stay abreast of the most currant

promotions and timely industry news so that they can translate and explain what it all means to you.

• Experience Travel agents become travel experts through their firsthand knowledge of a destination, continuing education, and customer feedback.

• Investigation No single travel supplier could advise a traveler with competitive information. Nor would they

they do.

You can tell when someone is really at the bottom by listening carefully to what they say.

Stage one is the person who admits they have a problem but qualifies it by adding it’s really not that bad, and they either say or imply they probably can control it.

Stage two is the person who says they have a problem but they now have it under control and then relapses before you get another chance to talk to them.

Stage three is the person who says they have a problem and they need help, but they “are not doing . . . that!”

These folks are admitting the problem but are not yet willing to go to any lengths. They generally wish to design their own treatment program and that often includes “learning to drink normally.”

In the end, the person who has “hit rock bottom” is the one who says, “I don’t like it, but I’ll do whatever it takes,” and then does just that.

Highway history

Park Service project shares experiences of women along Route 66

By SUSAN MONTOYA BRYAN The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – It was a man’s world nearly a century ago when one of America’s most famous highways got its start, opening up vast expanses of the West as it created an automobile artery that stretched roughly 2,400 miles from Chicago to the West Coast.

But it wasn’t only men behind the wheel or working in the service stations and cafés along historic Route 66.

The National Park Service and the nonprofit Cinefemme have partnered to create an online historical record of the experiences of women and girls along the Mother Road.

Writer and project director Katrina Parks says she was surprised by the diverse ways in which women’s lives intersected with the road, from the pioneering female architects who designed buildings along Route 66 to the waitresses, shopkeepers, postmasters and others who kept daily life humming.

Then there are artists such as Dorothea Lange, who traveled part of the route through Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona and California during the 1930s and captured through her photographs the struggles of migrant farm families.

There are stories about the daughters of Mexican and Chinese immigrants who made their homes in the West and opened family grocery stores, laundries and restaurants along the route.

Threads of discrimination, determination, adventure and perseverance run through the women’s stories.

AP photos

This June 21 photo shows one of the signs along historic Route 66 in downtown Albuquerque, N.M. The National Park Service has partnered with the nonprofit Cinefemme to create an online collection of stories about the women who lived and worked along the famous highway and were inspired by it.

•••

“We saw there was this great narrative about Route 66 out there that tended to be focused on the traveler’s experience,” said Kaisa Barthuli, who works with the National Park Service Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program. “We realized that Route 66, as a symbol of America, had the potential to tell so many deeper stories. It’s about pulling out these lesser known stories that really help people connect and understand our history.”

The project was funded through a cost-sharing grant from the Park Service. The website is expected to evolve, and Parks plans to use the oral histories she has collected for a documentary.

The women’s stories cover several decades, from the road’s beginnings to

its current rebirth.

The first half of Virginia Tellez Wayne’s life centered around the route in Gallup, New Mexico. The oldest of 14 children, she started working two and three jobs early on to support her siblings and later her five sons.

She worked as a Harvey girl, greeting and serving troop trains, tourists and movie stars at Fred Harvey’s El Navajo Hotel, El Rancho and the Shalimar – all fixtures along the highway.

Nicknamed “Smiley” by the troops, Tellez Wayne had a way with her customers and many became friends. She also made aprons for fellow waitresses and uniforms for men who worked at the service stations.

“If it weren’t for us women, there wouldn’t be no 66,” she said, laughing.

LEFT: This 1936 image provided by the Library of Congress shows Resettlement Administration photographer Dorothea Lange sitting atop a vehicle in California. Lange is among the women whose stories are featured as part of The Women on the Mother Road project. ABOVE: In this June 14 photo, Virginia Tellez Wayne holds a photograph of herself during an interview at her home in Albuquerque, N.M. Tellez Wayne also is part of the oral history project.

“We were into everything.”

Now 94, Tellez Wayne lives in Albuquerque with her son in a home that backs up to old Route 66 on the western edge of the city. She donated her Harvey uniform to a local museum but swears she still has her No. 17 waitress tag somewhere among her books and boxes of memories.

A fellow at the University of New Mexico’s Center for Southwest Research, Donatella Davanzo, has been working to document every building along Route 66 in Albuquerque, home to the largest uninterrupted segment of the road left in an urban area.

A native of Italy, she took her first trip down the Mother Road in 2006.

“I started to consider the historic corridor as a cultural landscape able

to connect American history and local places and communities,” she said.

Davanzo worked her way along Route 66, walking from the Sandia Mountains on the city’s east side to the mesa on the west. She took 7,500 photographs over two years. They’re now part of the collection at the research center.

Parks, too, acknowledged the infectious nature of Route 66.

“It still for me has a sense of freedom and adventure, which I think is what captives so many people,” Parks said.

“It’s just this idea that it’s an escape from the monotonous and that means a more personal interaction with people and slowing down to make time for the unexpected.”

The Associated Press

MILAN – In a season full of change, one thing was constant: Giorgio Armani remained the anchor of Milan Fashion Week, closing the four days of previews this week.

While many of his colleagues took runway breaks or contemplated merging their menswear and womenswear previews going forward, it was Armani who got the last word, this time holding sway alone on the final day. Still, Armani lamented, not for the first time, that it was time to shake that up.

“I am the last one showing, alone. But it doesn’t have to be me at all costs,” he told Italian reporters after the show.

Here are some of the highlights as the men’s preview shows were wrapping up in Kevin Milan:

Spacey

International allure

The four days of menswear shows boasted a raft of celebrity sightings.

Jessica Chastain was spotted backstage at Prada, wearing a floral sundress, along with Milla Jovovich, while Ethan Peck was head-to-toe Salvatore Ferragamo in a tan linen suit and Tramezza lace-up shoes.

Asian stars are increasingly making Milan a habit, with Chinese actor Jiang Jin Fu attracting fans to Fendi while compatriots Han DongJun and Huang Jing Yu were on hand at Dolce & Gabbana.

Perhaps the most

excitement was generated by social media sensation Cameron Dallas, whose fans swarmed the Dolce & Gabbana venue.

Backing Armani

Kevin Spacey and Ricky Martin took front row seats for Armani’s show, with Spacey sharing comments throughout the runway show with the designer’s niece, Roberta Armani.

Spacey wore a dark tailored suit while Martin opted for a more casual zipper-front tunic-style light blue top over gray pleated trousers and a pair of Armani sunglasses.

“I’ve been protected by him in many ways,” Martin said of Armani going into the show. “I’m very happy to be here and celebrate his art.”

Soft modernity

Tried-and-true Giorgio Armani stuck to his formula of clean lines and subtle innovation for next spring and summer’s menswear looks. Armani stands firm against trends that risk the ridiculous.

Buttons cinched the looks that were anything but button-down. As a rule, on jackets, just one was fastened at a time for a casual feel. Buttons fastened at the cuff of roomy trousers, gently punctuating the line. And button flies created an old-fashioned appeal on high-waist light linen pants.

In fact, the collection had both an air of nostalgia for a bygone dandy era, while the softness of the silhouette maintained a sleek modernity. Deconstructed jackets clung to the body with one, two

They were paired with wide trousers and silken blouses. Armani said in notes the surface of garments were treated to look worn and distressed, evoking “a style that crosses into other cultures.”

A vertically stripped jacket with a rolled collar got a round of applause, as did a T-shirt with a washed out print of the designer’s face.

The collection included prints, such as a repeating hexagon pattern that recalled Middle Eastern tiles, but the softness of the colors never overwhelmed the largely monochrome effect of the collection. The palette was mostly sun-washed neutral tones with some Pompeian red accents.

The leather footwear had rubberized soles, some models with fringe. There were no sandals, which were ubiquitous elsewhere, giving the collection a metropolitan grounding. Hats included brimmed versions and more casual bucket hats.

LOS ANGELES – On the trail, in the water or happy on the lawn, let your dogs in on some Olympic-inspired fun with new gear and activities that will have them going for gold.

Safety is key when investing in summer fun or recreational sustenance for your pets. Let the games begin:

LEFT: A chocolate Labrador retriever named Ebb chews on the shuttle cock of a badminton-style game called Backyard Birdie made for dogs and their humans in Kittery, Maine. ABOVE: The Rex Specs Dog Goggles worn by German shepherd Tuckerman (left) and Alaskan husky Yaz were designed by their owners at Teton Pass in Wilson, Wyo. BELOW: Four dogs wear life preservers made by Hedz UP Pets Inc. in Houston, Texas. The device attaches to the dog’s collar and will keep the dog’s nose and ears above water even if the dog is unconscious.

Summer games

You like old-fashioned lawn games and so might your dog. Kurgo Products in Salisbury, Massachusetts, sells versions of stick ball, badminton, bowling, lawn darts, horseshoes and others made just for pets.

The toys are rubber and include a “durability meter” on packaging.

Other pet suppliers also sell such toys as bowling pins and dog-safe flying discs.

Life preservers

Numbers on how many dogs drown each year are hard to come by, but Lynne Peters, president of Hedz UP Pets Inc., in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, said exhaustion plays a role.

Peters watched her dog, an inept swimmer, tumble into a pool several times. She came up with the water collar life preserver. The flotation device attaches to the dog’s everyday collar and will keep the nose and ears above water.

Meal replacement bar

with her dog Dunkan five years ago.

They had been out a couple of hours when she stopped for a food break.

“I was eating a burrito as Dunkan stared me down. I realized he had expended much more energy than I had and was probably starving,” Guerrero said.

She went in search of meal replacement for pets and came up empty-handed. That’s how TurboPUP Complete K9 Meal Bars were born.

Dog goggles

Aiden Doane and Jesse Emilio have two dogs and spend the bulk of their time outdoors. So when veterinarians told them that both dogs had serious eye problems that could only get worse if they continued playing in the sun unprotected, the couple went looking for goggles.

They were unhappy with the offerings so now sell their own: Rex Specs.

The lenses are shatterproof and the goggles are used by the U.S. military for their K-9 units.

American Kennel Club’s newest breed: Meet the lively pumi

By JENNIFER PELTZ The Associated Press

NEW YORK – A high-energy Hungarian herding dog is the latest new breed headed to the Westminster Kennel Club and many other U.S. dog shows.

The American Kennel Club is announcing Wednesday it is recognizing the pumi, the 190th breed to join the roster of the nation’s oldest purebred dog registry. That means the pumi can vie for best of breed at Westminster for the first time next February.

With coats of corkscrew curls and ears that flop at the tips, the pumi (pronounced POOM’-ee) has a whimsical expression that belies its strong work ethic, fanciers say. The 20-to-30-pound breed goes back centuries in Hungary, where it herded cattle, sheep and swine. It’s related to the

puli, a breed already recognized by the AKC and known for its coat of long cords.

Like many herding dogs, pumis – the proper plural is actually “pumik” – are alert and active.

“They’re not for somebody who’s going to sit and watch TV all day long,” said Chris Levy, president of the Hungarian Pumi Club of America.

But if provided with enough exercise and stimulation, “the pumi can chill out.”

Considered quick learners, pumis have done well at agility and other canine sports. Some in the U.S. also herd rabbits, chickens, goats and even cats in a cattery, said Levy, who breeds the dogs in Salem, Oregon. She and others have been working to build up the breed in the U.S. for two decades, but it’s still quite rare.

AKC recognition requires having at least 300 dogs of the breed nationwide, among other cri-

teria. Two other new breeds, the American hairless terrier and an ancient North African hound called the sloughi, were recognized this past January and also will be eligible for Westminster for the first time next year.

Some animal-rights advocates say dog breeding is too appearance-focused and irresponsible when many mixed-breed animals need adoption. The AKC says conscientious breeding helps people and pets make happy matches by making the animals’ characteristics somewhat more predictable.

Really?

Did you know that of cancers affecting both men and women, colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer? But this is one cancer you can prevent.

Screening tests help find polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer.

So, if you’re 50 or older, get screened for colorectal cancer.
