Beard survives as souvenir from recent trip out West You can’t go to the mountains without coming back feeling a little rugged.

Ruggedness for men means beards, like lumberjacks or mountain men or campers. No shaving allowed.

When I go on vacation, I don’t shave. I don’t like to shave, mostly because of the nicks, the drawing of blood when the razor hiccups across your face, and you get a bleeder. Or two. Or three. Depending on the day and the steadiness of your hand.

I considered myself lucky. My facial hair does not grow in that fast, and I had to shave only every other day, and I looked forward to the days I didn’t have to shave. Small favors.

By the time we returned from our most recent vacation out West – to the Grand Canyon and back – I had the makings of a beard, and I decided to keep it to see what would happen.

The last time I had a beard, 30-some years ago, it kind of grew wild. I trimmed it with a kitchen scissors, but that didn’t seem to do the trick, and I soon shaved it off. I couldn’t keep it under control.

This time around, I had heard of clippers designed just for beards, and that’s what I went in search of.

I found a beard trimmer – I paid $44 for it, I think – and I kept it in the box for a week, unsure whether I was going to take the plunge and actually grow a beard, or shave it off, and take the unopened trimmer back to the store.

I kept it, and took it out of the box, and once it was out of the box, there was no getting it back in it was packed so tightly. It was mine to keep.

That committed me to a beard – one that I could keep closely trimmed.

According to the Incredible Internet, it takes 67 days to grow the perfect beard, which puts me out to early August. And 60 percent of men grow beards because it is more convenient, according to a poll last year of New Yorkers.

Beards made almost half feel more mature. A third felt cooler. Not as in temperature cooler, but in style.

However, the last time I had a beard, I could swear it kept my face cooler in the summer months, insulating my skin from the heat. It definitely kept my face warmer in the winter, which only goes to reason.

Having a beard doesn’t mean I have given up on shaving cream and the razor. I still have to manage the neck line, but shaving that little bit is rather easy, and it’s not one of the places I ordinarily nicked myself, although I have to be careful around my Adam’s apple.

WHERE IT’S AT

VIEWS Dick Peterson But so far, so good.

It has been a month since I last shaved, and it’s saved me five or six minutes every other day and countless nicks. I can use that time reading the newspaper more thoroughly in the morning or taking my time making my lunch.

Or I can lead the life of leisure. For five minutes.

I have yet to determine how often I need to trim my beard. I don’t want a long beard like our last president with a beard, Benjamin Harrison, more than a century ago. I want something fairly closely cropped; and for now, I have settled on the No. 2 guide comb, but I wish there was a No. 1½ comb. I trimmed my beard last Saturday with the No. 2, and it really did nothing to speak of. The real test comes this weekend.

We’ll see how much of the beard it trims, but I have to remember that it takes 67 days to grow the perfect beard, and I’m not halfway there yet.

I need to be patient. But what do they mean by a perfect beard? Only the Incredible Internet knows. They could have just pulled a number out of the air, for all I know.

But I wouldn’t grow a beard without the support of my good wife, who rather likes my facial hair, which is a relief. If she didn’t like it, I would defer to her better judgment and shave it off, which would be disappointing. I don’t have to look at myself. She does, so she’s the better judge.

I still have to get used to drying my beard off after showering. When I dry my hair, there is no feeling, but when I dry my beard, it’s as if I can feel each hair being dried. My scalp must be much less sensitive than my face, which feels everything, and I’m still trying to get used to that sensation.

I now can use one of my favorite words to describe myself – hirsute. He’s conveniently hirsute and mature and cool. All because I didn’t shave on vacation and decided to keep it that way.

World War II veteran and Harvard resident Chester Parks, 88, is training to participate in the 30th National Veterans Golden Age Games in July in Detroit.

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

88-year-old Harvard WWII veteran to compete in national swimming competition

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HARVARD – When Chester Parks competes in the National Veterans Golden Age Games, he expects to win.

The 88-year-old Harvard resident and World War II veteran said he’s lost some of his strength, nearly all of his vision and his ability to walk without a walker, but those issues float away when he swims.

“Once I get in the water, I don’t have any handicaps,” Parks said. “It doesn’t

matter that I can’t see.”

Since April, Parks has been training to compete in three events – the 25-yard freestyle, 50-yard freestyle and 25-yard backstroke – where he will be up against other 85- to 100-year-old veterans.

The 30th annual National Veterans Golden Age Games will be July 10 to 14 in Detroit, and more than 900 veterans ages 55 and up are expected to attend, said Alysse Mengason, public affairs officer for the John D. Dingell Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Detroit.

That includes about 300 veterans who are competing in the games for the first time, like Parks, Mengason said.

Visual Impairment Services Team coordinator Eric Strong is the case manager at the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Heath Care Center in North Chicago for any veteran who comes through the facility with visual impairments. Strong has worked with Parks for about five years now, and is the person who suggested that Parks compete in the games.

“It gets them out of the house, it

gets them some social activity,” Strong said.

“And then just also from an overall sense of well-being, I think any source of exercise veterans can do is going to be helpful.”

Parks has been training three times a week at the 15-yard pool at Northfield Court Apartments in Harvard with his coach – daughter and Woodstock-area resident Lynda Allen.

Allen said Parks took her, and

McHenry County Board set to vote Tuesday on Randall Road widening

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A vote by the McHenry County Board on whether to allocate an additional $10 million to buy right of way will determine whether the Randall Road widening project moves forward.

After a decade of planning, $9 million spent to date and the first phase of the project set to start next year, County Board members will, in essence, decide Tuesday morning whether Randall Road gets improved or whether it does not. A faction of County Board members have questioned either the scope of the project or the necessity at all for widening the busy corridor in Lake in the Hills and Algonquin and improving its intersection with Algonquin Road.

A split recommendation between two committees highlights the schism. The Transportation Committee recommended against allocating the money, while the Finance and Audit Committee sup-

The $65.7 million first phase calls for widening Randall Road to six lanes from Harnish Drive in Algonquin north to Polaris Drive in Lake in the Hills, and improving its busy intersection with Algonquin Road by adding more turn lanes and eliminating some entry points. The plan would add a second left-turn lane on Randall Road and a third on Algonquin Road.

With $9 million already spent and $10.6 million pledged by the federal government, the remaining price tag for the first phase is closer to $46.1 million.

The second phase would widen the road to six lanes from Polaris Drive north to Ackman Road for a total project

cost of $97 million.

Improving Randall Road has been on the County Board’s road project list since 2002, and feasibility studies began shortly thereafter. The opposition that now threatens the project has frustrated the leaders of Algonquin and Lake in the Hills, who long have pushed for a fix to ease congestion and preserve what they call an economic engine that provides jobs and pumps millions in property and sales taxes into local government coffers.

The debate, which resulted in the allocation being stuck in committee for two months, prompted County Board Chairman Joe Gottemoller, R-Crystal Lake, to convene a Committee of the Whole a month ago to bring board members, especially newer ones, up to speed on the project. About half of the County Board has been elected within the last four years.

The County Board in 2014 allocated $5 million toward acquiring the needed land.

How did you get to high school ???day’smost resultsdays? as of XX p.m.: Saturday’s results as of 9:30 p.m.: xxxx Americans have a fascination, almost an obsession, with cars. They represent a rite of passage, a friend called “Brad,” a first love, Sunday drives, preferred seating at the outdoor theater, road rallies and status. The “upper crust” of McHenry County society formed an automobile club and, on fair-weather Sundays, would gather to travel 20 or 30 miles to a hotel where members would dine in splendor. Pictured is a 1906 event in which the club had traveled to a hotel in Delavan, Wis. At the turn of the century, automobile styles were limited to touring cars and roadsters. American automobiles now are confined to a handful of manufacturers, while yesteryear’s makes ranged from the venerable Cadillac and Buick to the likes of Yales, Reliances, Wintons and Elmores, hailing from cities such as Racine, Toledo and Saginaw. Come to the 2016 Heritage Fair in Union on July 10 and see the array of classic cars. Sponsored by Intren and FirstMerit Bank of Union, the free show starts at 9 a.m. and includes trophies for the top 20 finishers and a special “survivor” trophy.

McHenry gun shop cancels raffle of AR-15 NORTHWEST HERALD McHENRY – Second Amendment Sports has canceled a raffle of an AR-15 rifle to benefit victims of the nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida.

The Chicago Tribune reported that the store called off the raffle over questions about whether it would be legal.

According to the Illinois Raffles and Poker Runs Act, only “religious, charitable, labor, business, fraternal, educational or veterans’ organizations that operate without profit to their members” can hold raffles.

Bert Irslinger Jr., the co-owner of the store, announced Wednesday the store would be selling $5 tickets to win

the AR-15. The rifle is similar to the weapon a gunman used to open fire in a gay nightclub June 12, leaving 49 people dead and 53 injured.

Irslinger said Wednesday that he wanted to support fellow Americans who were victimized by the attack and that he chose the AR-15 because it is one of the shop’s most popular items.

Irslinger said employees have received death threats since the raffle became public.

He said the store may partner with a nonprofit organization to conduct the raffle in the future.

A post about the raffle on the store’s Facebook page was met with mixed reaction, including many criticizing the

raffle for being insensitive. The store said in a post Friday that it already had raised a large amount of money through the raffle and had received an outpouring of inquiries from those wanting to buy tickets.

Kathleen Larimero of Crystal Lake, whose 27-year-old son, John Larimer, died during the July 2012 attack on a crowded theater of Colorado, called the raffle “a slap in the face to anybody who’s lost somebody to gun violence.”

Representatives of Second Amendment Sports could not be reached for further comment Saturday.

Huntley High School to add 192 parking spaces

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – The Huntley Community School District 158 Board of Education has approved a contract that will add nearly 200 parking spaces to the student lot at Huntley High School.

The contract with Plote Construction is for up to $1.1 million and will add 192 spaces to the north side of the student lot.

At its special meeting Tuesday, the board also approved a related $17,500 contract with HR Green for construction engineering services for the project.

District 158 spokesman Dan Armstrong said officials hope the expansion will be finished by fall. The school board also authorized the administra-

tion to discuss potential additional replacement work on existing lots with the contractor, Plote Construction.

The expansion comes after a school year in which Sun City residents complained that several high school students had been parking in their neighborhood and cutting through their yards to get to school.

Those complaints began last fall and continued throughout the school year, when the Huntley Police Department held a town hall meeting to address the issue in February.

Police later proposed a parking ban in affected neighborhoods, but the Village Board tabled the proposal as the school board approved a study to determine whether it was feasible to add more parking.

School officials have maintained

there likely never will be enough parking for every student who wants to drive to school, but acknowledged that the school’s blended learning program could contribute to students parking in surrounding neighborhoods.

Although police were able to lessen the problem by increasing patrols in the area and communicating issues to students, they previously said they believed the issue would persist because the high school’s enrollment is projected to increase.

The school had 692 spots after a recent reconfiguration, according to previous Northwest Herald reporting.

The waiting list for parking passes at the start of last school year was 130, although that number had gone down to 80 when the parking issue was discussed in February.

“I just felt that, ‘Hey if I can do better, I’m going to do better.’ And I did better.”

Continued from page A3 her siblings Karen Lutze and Jeffrey Parks, to swim frequently when they were growing up.

“We went swimming just to be with him,” Allen said. “And he taught us how to swim, and it was just our family time.”

Chester Parks taught himself how to swim when he was growing up in Chicago. He said he would pay 2 cents to swim at the Division Street YMCA. When he attended Wells High School in the city, he joined the swim team and was trained by a coach who would carefully watch Chester Parks in the pool, even throwing keys at him when he wasn’t swimming fast enough.

For Chester Parks, the experience is what helped develop him as a swimmer.

“I just felt that, ‘Hey if I can do better, I’m going to do better.’ And I did better,” Chester Parks said.

It was after high school – months after his 18th birthday – that Chester Parks was drafted into the U.S. Army and sent to Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

He served from 1946 to late 1947, working many jobs, including developing the first protocols for the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps postWWII and screening atomic engineers

School District 158 superintendent receives 5-year contract extension

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – The Huntley Community School District 158 Board of Education has approved a new contract for Superintendent John Burkey that will extend his employment through the 2021 school year.

The contract will pay Burkey $215,000 in the upcoming school year and calls for a 2.5 percent pay increase in each subsequent year of the contract.

According to a compensation report on District 158’s website, Burkey received a base salary of $201,290 in 2015.

He also received $44,272 in other benefits, which include mental and dental insurance, life insurance and other costs.

His new contract, approved at a special board meeting Tuesday, also stipulates that Burkey could receive a performance payment of up to $10,000 a year if the board deems he has successfully completed the objectives in the district’s strategic plan during its

annual review.

Burkey also will receive 20 vacation days annually, the contract said, the same amount he received in his last contract.

The superintendent is required, under the new contract, to annually evaluate student performance on standardized tests, curriculum completion, attendance and dropout rates; review the district’s curriculum; report to the board on his findings; and provide any recommendations for changes.

The superintendent may propose additional goals for himself at the board’s August meeting, and the board must review and establish any additional goals

by October.

The new contract, which began Friday, replaces the contract Burkey received in 2012, which originally was to expire June 30, 2017.

Burkey has been District 158’s superintendent since 2006 and previously was an assistant superintendent at Dunlap School District 323 in Peoria, according to the district’s website.

STOP AGING KNEES FROM BUCKLING

Please Recycle Your Newspaper

“Buckling” knees are a symptom of knee instability that is more common among older individuals, particularly those with knee pain and knee osteoarthritis. Usually caused by muscle weakness and balance difficulties, buckling knees are important indicators of future falls and fall-related injuries, and should stimulate discussion of interventions that stabilize the knee and may help older individuals enjoy improved health and quality of life. Such discussions are important because the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study (MOST) shows that patients who report buckling knees at an average age of 67 were 1.6 to 2.5 times more likely to report recurrent falls, fear of falling, and poor balance within seven years. If targeted exercises do not improve buckling knees, knee-replacement surgery should be considered.

P.S.: While one out of three older people falls each year, fewer than half tell their doctors.

The knee is the largest joint in the body and one of the most easily injured. While some knee pain and injuries can be addressed with simple treatments like rest, ice, over-the-counter medication or bracing, other injuries and conditions require an orthopedist to diagnose and treat. To schedule a consultation, please call ORTHOILLINIOIS at 815-3989491. Our physicians specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of musculoskeletal injunes and problems of the bones, muscles, tendon and nerves. We are located at 750 E. Terra Cotta Ave. in Crystal Lake or 12519 Regency Parkway in Huntley.

But he always knew he wanted to do police work, Fourdyce said.

“It was kind of a desire to help people, the same reason I joined the Army,” he said. “I enjoy the role of helping people who are unable to help themselves.”

Fourdyce said he doesn’t have any immediate plans for changes in the department, but will see what can be improved once he has spent more time in the position.

He will oversee the department’s three detectives. Fourdyce’s salary will remain the same as in his most recent position of patrol sergeant, where he makes about $100,900 a year, said Woodstock Human Resources Director Debbie Schober.

OBITUARIES CHARLES K. BOTTLEMY Born: July 2, 1923 Died: June 29, 2016

Charles K. Bottlemy, 92, of Alden, Illinois, passed away on June 29, 2016, at the Mercy Harvard Care Center in Harvard, Illinois.

Charles was born in Alden on July 2, 1923, to Ervin G. and Fannie (Nyboer) Bottlemy. A graduate of Alden Community High School in 1941, he served in Northern Europe as a sergeant in the U.S. Army during WWII. He married Eleanor Seagren on June 28, 1949, and they made their home in Alden, where he served as a volunteer member of the Hebron-Alden-Greenwood Fire Department and the Alden Community Club.

Charles was a lifelong member of the International Union of Operating Engineers and enjoyed telling stories of the many construction projects he worked on, including the Harvard Hospital, the Zion Nuclear Power Station, the particle accelerator ring at Fermilab in Batavia, and the Deep Tunnel in Chicago.

STATE

Ill. lowered U.S. flag more than 12 times in 2015 The ASSOCIATED PRESS

On nearly nine out of 10 days last year, one or more states were flying the American flag at half-staff to memorialize the deaths of military members, public officials, police, first responders, prominent citizens and victims of mass killings and disasters, The Associated Press found in analyzing information requested from all 50 states and the federal government.

In Illinois, the half-staff honors included those for former Gov. Dan Walker, state Rep. Esther Golar and a number of armed forces, emergency and law enforcement personnel – including the former northern Illinois police lieutenant later found to have killed himself to cover up his embezzling.

Below are the instances when Illinois ordered the U.S. flag flown at half-staff last year on at least some government property, separate from proclamations that came from the federal government: • Feb. 12-14: Medora Fire Chief Kenneth Lehr, 59, who died when he was accidentally run over by a fire engine while trying to help an injured man.

Lawmakers, Chicago police push tougher laws for gun crimes

CHICAGO – Chicago police are joining Illinois lawmakers in a push for longer prison sentences for repeat gun offenders who they said are driving much of the city’s increase in violence.

Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson and state Sen. Kwame Raoul said Friday that new legislation the Chicago Democrat is introducing would ensure that the criminals responsible for many of Chicago’s shootings spend more time behind bars.

The measure would require judges to impose prison terms on the higher end of sentencing guidelines for offenders previously convicted of a gun crime.

The existing guidelines wouldn’t

change.

The police department said there were 315 homicides in Chicago in the first half of 2016 – an increase of more than 100 over the same period last year.

On average, nearly 15 people were shot daily in June, and more than two died.

Johnson said that if the legislation were law, more than 50 people involved in shootings this year would have been in prison.

“Repeat gun offenders are driving the violence in Chicago,” Johnson said.

He said Chicago police are working diligently to keep these offenders off the streets, “but we need help from the justice system to hold them accountable for their actions.”

Gun control legislation has been difficult to pass in Illinois, where downstate Democrats often join with Republicans to support gun rights. In 2013, it was black lawmakers, most from the Chicago area, who derailed a measure that required

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said it was a critical to combating gang violence, but the black caucus – joined by civil-rights icon the Rev. Jesse Jackson – said it was too focused on locking up young men. They argued lawmakers should be trying to improve education and jobs, not increase incarceration.

Raoul said the new legislation is “the beginning of an important conversation” about a comprehensive approach to keeping communities safe.

“The challenge of addressing gun violence is not one just for law enforcement; it’s one for all of us,” he said.

The auction will include the facility itself and more than 10,000 lots of metal stamping, plastics, paint, robotic assembly, tire assembly, machine tools and other equipment.

The Japanese automaker decided to close the plant because of diminishing sales. The facility was one of the largest employers in the Bloomington-Normal area.

Part of I-55 named for fighter pilot killed in 2014

SPRINGFIELD – A stretch of

Interstate 55 in central Illinois will be named after a fighter-jet pilot and “Top Gun” student who was killed in a 2014 training exercise.

The Journal Star reported that Illinois lawmakers adopted a resolution Thursday in honor of U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Reid Nannen.

The 32-year-old from Hopedale died when the fighter jet he was piloting crashed in Nevada.

Nannen was an Illinois State Scholar who attended the University of Illinois. He was commissioned a 2nd lieutenant in the U.S. Marines in 2004 and later served in Afghanistan.

The segment of Interstate 55 named the Major Reid Nannen Memorial Highway stretches from the Hopedale exit on Route 122 to Route 9.

Nannen was survived by his wife, four daughters, parents and two sisters.

Prayers for 4 kids killed, surviving son, and mother The gamble by Prime Minister

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – A mother killed four of her children by cutting their throats, and sheriff’s deputies found a large butcher knife with what appeared to be blood on it in an apartment where the killings took place, according to court documents filed Saturday.

Shanynthia Gardner, 29, of Memphis, has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder while committing aggravated child neglect in the deaths of her three daughters and one son – all under the age of 5.

Their bodies were found Friday after deputies entered her apartment in a gated community in unincorporated Shelby County.

Neighbors and friends of the family attended a vigil to honor the victims on Saturday.

Gardner also faces four counts of first-degree murder while committing aggravated child abuse; four counts of aggravated child neglect or endangerment; and four counts of aggravated child abuse.

Malcolm Turnbull to call a rare early election may have failed, with his conservative Liberal Party-led coalition on track to lose a swath of seats in the House of Representatives – and potentially control of the country.

The elections continue an extraordinarily volatile period in the nation’s politics, where internal party squabbling and fears over sagging poll ratings have prompted five changes of prime minister in as many years.

After Fla. shooting, LGBT gun group membership up

SALT LAKE CITY – Memberships have more than doubled in a national LGBT pro-gun rights organization since a gunman opened fire at a gay nightclub in Florida, killing 49 people.

Pink Pistols Utah chapter President Matt Schlentz said Pink Pistols membership has grown from 1,500 to 4,000 since Omar Mateen’s June 12 rampage, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.

“It’s really sad that something on this scale had to happen for people to realize this is a need for our community,” Schlentz said. “But the reality is we still get attacked for kissing our partners or holding hands in public. ”

An ambulance transports bodies found Saturday at a restaurant popular with foreigners after heavily armed militants attacked it Friday night in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Hostage crisis leaves 28 dead in Bangladesh diplomatic zone The ASSOCIATED PRESS DHAKA, Bangladesh – The hostages were given a test: recite verses from the Quran, or be punished, a witness said. Those who passed were allowed to eat. Those who failed were tortured and slain.

The dramatic, 10-hour hostage crisis that gripped Bangladesh’s diplomatic zone ended Saturday morning with at least 28 dead, including six of the attackers, as commandos raided the popular restaurant where heavily armed attackers were holding dozens of foreigners and Bangladeshis prisoner while hurling bombs and engaging in a gunbattle with security forces. The victims included 20 hostages, mostly foreigners, and two Bangladeshi police officers.

The attack marks an escalation in militant violence that has hit the traditionally moderate Muslim-majority nation with increasing frequency in recent months, with the extremists demanding the secular government set up Islamic rule. Most previous attacks have involved machete-wielding men singling out individual activists, foreigners and religious minorities.

But Friday night’s attack was different, more coordinated, with the attackers brandishing assault rifles as they shouted “Allahu Akbar” (God is Great) and stormed the Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka’s Gulshan area while dozens of foreigners and Bangladeshis were dining out during the Ramadan holy month.

The gunmen, initially firing blanks, or-

dered restaurant workers to switch off the lights, and they draped black cloths over closed-circuit cameras, according to a survivor, who spoke with local TV channel ATN News. He and others, including kitchen staff, managed to escape by running to the rooftop or out the back door.

But about 35 were trapped inside, their fate depending on whether they could prove themselves to be Muslims, said the father of a Bangladeshi businessman who was rescued Saturday morning along with his family.

“The gunmen asked everyone inside to recite from the Quran,” the Islamic holy book, said Rezaul Karim, describing what his son, Hasnat, had witnessed inside. “Those who recited were spared. The gunmen even gave them meals last night.”

The others, he said, “were tortured.”

Detectives were questioning his son and his family along with other survivors as part of the investigation on Saturday, as scattered details of the siege emerged. Authorities were also interrogating one of the attackers captured by commandos in the dramatic morning rescue.

It was not immediately clear whether the attackers had a specific goal, and Bangladesh authorities would not say whether they had made any demands.

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility, saying it targeted the citizens of “Crusader countries” in the attack, warning that citizens of such countries would not be safe “as long as their warplanes kill Muslims.”

New cigarette taxes could be on ballots

By DAVID A. LIEB

The Associated Press JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – An entire generation has come of age since the last time Missouri raised its cigarette tax, from 13 cents a pack to 17 cents, in 1993.

Today, it’s the lowest tax in the nation. And Missouri is one of just three states – along with North Dakota and California – that has held cigarette taxes flat since the turn of century. In that time, other states have increasingly tapped smokers to fill budget gaps and raise money for services such as health care and education.

That could change soon. Petitions are seeking to put higher cigarette taxes on the fall ballot in all three of those holdout states, as well as Colorado.

Victories by anti-tobacco advocates would add to a surge that already has raised tens of billions of dollars for states while helping drive down the nation’s smoking rate, from about a quarter of adults in 1990 to fewer than 17 percent in the most recent surveys.

From 2000 through 2014, states raised their cigarette taxes nearly 120 times, helping generate more than $85 billion of additional revenue, according to an Associated Press analysis of state-by-state figures compiled by the

economic consulting firm Orzechowski and Walker, which is funded by the tobacco industry.

More than a dozen additional cigarette tax increases have been enacted since then. They include July 1 increases that will raise West Virginia’s tax to $1.20 a pack and Connecticut’s to $3.90, the second highest nationally behind New York’s $4.35.

In June, California became only the second state behind Hawaii to raise the legal smoking age from 18 to 21 under a new law that also regulates electronic cigarettes.

Advocates believe the timing is right for people in even the most historically hesitant states to embrace higher tobacco taxes.

“What we’ve seen is momentum, and I think voters are ready to take the next step,” said Mike Roth, a spokesman for the Save Lives California coalition backing the ballot initiative.

Yet even in a society that has increasingly turned against tobacco, the cigarette tax initiatives are no sure thing to pass.

California voters narrowly rejected two previous tobacco tax measures, in 2012 and 2006. Missouri voters did the same to three tobacco tax initiatives over the past 14 years.

Two separate initiative petitions have been submitted in Missouri – one seeking a 23-cent-a-pack increase, the other a 60-cent hike.

A petition being circulated in North Dakota would raise the cigarette tax from 44 cents a pack to $2.20. A California initiative seeks a $2 increase to the current 87-cent-a-pack tax. The Colorado proposal would ask voters to raise the cigarette tax by $1.75 a pack to a total of $2.59.

The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids estimates that every 10 percent increase in cigarette prices leads to a 4 percent decline in cigarette consumption. It said smaller tax increases often have little effect, because the tax is more easily absorbed into the overall price or offset with discounts.

BRIEF Florida authorities say 5 dead, 25 injured in Florida crash Five people were killed and 25 injured when an aged bus carrying farmworkers collided with a tractor-trailer and both vehicles burst into flames Saturday at a highway intersection in the Florida Panhandle, authorities said.

The Blue Bird bus from Georgia was carrying roughly 34 adults and children when it ran a flashing red light and a stop sign before hitting the tractor-trailer, then spun around and hit the semi again, authorities said.

“This is a very horrendous crash, I can tell you,” Wakulla County Sheriff Charlie Creel said, calling it one of the worst in several decades.

He told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that one of the bus passengers killed was a small child. The driver of the semi-truck, Gordon Sheets, 55 of Copiague, New York, also died, Creel said.

He said the bus, a retired school bus built in 1979, hit just behind the driver’s door of the semi-truck on first impact and then spun around and hit it again as the vehicles went off the road and came to rest under a power line.

BRIEF

– Wire report

By VERENA DOBNIK The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel, the Romanian-born Holocaust survivor whose classic “Night” became a landmark testament to the Nazis’ crimes and launched his long career as one of the world’s foremost witnesses and humanitarians, has died at age 87.

His death was announced Saturday

by Israel’s Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial. No other details were immediately available.

The short, sad-eyed Wiesel, his face an ongoing reminder of one man’s endurance of a Elie Wiesel shattering past, summed up his mission in 1986 when accepting the Nobel Peace Prize: “Whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation, take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”

President Barack Obama said Saturday of Wiesel, “As a writer, a speaker, an activist, and a thinker, he was one of those people who changed the world more as a citizen of the world than those who hold office or traditional positions of power. His life, and the power

of his example, urges us to be better.”

For more than a half-century, Wiesel voiced his passionate beliefs to world leaders, celebrities and general audiences in the name of victims of violence and oppression. He wrote more than 40 books, but his most influential by far was “Night,” a classic ranked with Anne Frank’s diary as standard reading about the Holocaust.

“Night” was his first book, and its journey to publication crossed both time and language. It began in the mid1950s as an 800-page story in Yiddish, was trimmed to under 300 pages for an edition in Argentina, cut to under 200 pages for the French market and finally published in the U.S. in 1960, at just over 100 pages. “ ‘Night’ is the most devastating account of the Holocaust that I have ever read,” wrote Ruth Franklin, a literary critic and author of “A Thousand Darknesses,” a study of Holocaust literature that was published in 2010.

“There are no epiphanies in ‘Night.’

There is no extraneous detail, no analysis, no speculation. There is only a story: Eliezer’s account of what happened, spoken in his voice.”

Wiesel began working on “Night” just a decade after the end of World War II, when memories were too raw for many survivors to even try telling

their stories. Frank’s diary had been an accidental success, a book discovered after her death, and its entries end before Frank and her family was captured and deported. Wiesel’s book was among the first popular accounts written by a witness to the very worst, and it documented what Frank could hardly have imagined.

“Night” was so bleak that publishers doubted it would appeal to readers.

In a 2002 interview with the Chicago Tribune, Wiesel recalled that the book attracted little notice at first. “The English translation came out in 1960, and the first printing was 3,000 copies. And it took three years to sell them. Now, I get 100 letters a month from children about the book. And there are many, many million copies in print.”

In one especially haunting passage, Wiesel sums up his feelings upon arrival in Auschwitz: “Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the little faces of the children, whose bodies I saw turned into wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky. ...

Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never.”

BAGHDAD – Bombs went off early Sunday in two crowded commercial areas in Baghdad, killing at least 23 people and wounding 61, according to hospital and police officials.

The bombings came near the end of the holy month of Ramadan when the streets were filled with young people and families out after sundown.

In the first attack, a car bomb exploded in the Karada district in central Baghdad, killing 18 people and wounding 45. Shortly afterward, an improvised explosive device went off in eastern Baghdad, killing 5 people and wounding 16.

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack in the Karada district in a communique distributed on Telegram and Twitter.

The communique said a suicide car bomber targeted Shiites.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the second bombing.

The Baghdad attacks come just over a week after Iraqi forces declared the city of Fallujah “fully liberated” from IS.

Declaration of Independence

Note to readers To celebrate the July Fourth holiday weekend, today we reprint the Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America as adopted by Congress on July 4, 1776.

W

hen, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. – That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, – That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. – Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.

To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their op-

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

eration till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Con-

sent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever: He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to com-

pleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity.

We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and

by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. – And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

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.

VIEWS Jonathan Bernstein convention.

It’s true that Kerry’s flip-flops were featured in lots of news stories in 2004 (in part because Bush made them a major campaign theme). And it’s probably true there has been less media attention given to Trump’s policy changes. It’s also possible that Kerry’s relatively strong finish in his presidential race happened despite damage done to his campaign from flip-flopping.

Leaving 2004 aside, however, I think Rappeport and Haberman are dead wrong about Trump.

Perhaps flip-flopping hasn’t directly harmed Trump with voters. It has, almost certainly, harmed him with Republican party actors. And rightly so. It’s likely many Christian conservatives don’t trust his current pro-life position on abortion, given his many gyrations on the issue. It’s likely tax-cut proponents don’t trust him on their issues, since he’s been on both sides of that one, too. Neither neocons nor pragmatists trust him on foreign policy, since in addition to displaying appalling ignorance on the subject, he

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. also regularly changes his positions.

Some Republican party actors will still wind up supporting him because, for example, totally random selections for the Supreme Court are still a better value for conservative Republicans than the mainstream liberals Clinton is certain to nominee. But only the most gullible of the naïve will trust Trump to stick to the conservative-approved list of potential justices he has been peddling recent-

ly. And while there are exceptions, political actors tend to be hard-headed cynics, not naifs.

Sometimes, the stuff that matters doesn’t show up in TV ads. That doesn’t mean it isn’t important. And not everything in TV ads turns out to be all that significant.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Should move out of this state

To the Editor: Is in response to the letter written by Linda M. Walsh on June 22: In her letter, she seems to be amused about Mr. Aylward paying for his taxes with one dollar bills. Mr. Aylward is making a statement about the terrible tax situation here in McHenry County.

It would appear that Linda is one of those who has more money than she knows what to do with. I did exactly as Linda suggested and moved into a smaller, 1,500 square foot condo. My taxes went up 30 percent from last year.

I realize that now I should move out of this state, however, I cannot afford that.

Common sense gun legislation

To the Editor: Since the tragedy at Sandy Hook elementary, more than 113,000 people have died here in the United States as victims

of gun violence. If we were at war the last three years and we lost more than 113,000 soldiers, there would be outrage and a call for a peaceful solution. But sadly, we have become numb to this senseless violence and victims ourselves to the NRA and our do-nothing Republican Congress.

More than 90 percent of our citizens are asking for two measures to be passed, background checks for all gun sales, thus closing the gun show loophole, and a no-fly, no-buy gun law.

That means if a person is on the terrorist-watch list or no-fly list, they cannot purchase a weapon. I urge everyone to call their congressman and demand a vote for common sense gun legislation.

Many in the media seem to be having some difficulties comprehending just how badly Donald Trump is doing, and how unusual it is for the Republican Party to be so resistant to their own presidential nominee.

Alan Rappeport and Maggie Haberman had a perfectly fine piece in the New York Times Wednesday listing the many issues on which Trump has flip-flopped. But the preface is bizarre: They compare Trump to Secretary of State John Kerry in his 2004 run for president, and claim Kerry was destroyed by charges of flip-flopping while Trump “has so far avoided much harm” from switching positions on core issues of public policy.

For the record: Kerry lost narrowly to George W. Bush, a fairly popular sitting president. Trump is currently falling about 7 percentage points behind Hillary Clinton, even though she appears to be quite unpopular herself – perhaps because Trump is the most unpopular major party presidential nominee in the polling era. And while Kerry had solid backing from Democratic Party actors in 2004, practically every prominent Republican seems to have come down with a severe case of needing-to-wash-their-hair the week of July 18, rendering them unable to make it to Cleveland for the party’s

Why resist? Get Windows 10 while it’s still free

By ANICK JESDANUN The Associated Press

NEW YORK – What are you waiting for? There are few reasons left to resist Microsoft’s Windows 10 update, especially while it’s still free.

Wait another month, and it will cost you $120 .

Since Windows 10 came out nearly a year ago, some users have complained that they got the upgrade without meaning to.

But why hold out? Windows 10 is better than either of its predecessors, Windows 7 and 8. Even if you disagree after upgrading, you have a month to go back . Think of it as a free trial.

WINDOWS 10 MODERNIZES COMPUTING

Windows 7 made sense when personal computers were largely boxes with monitors, keyboards and mice (or touchpads on laptops). But many computers now have touch screens,

and web pages, games and software are increasingly designed with touch in mind.

Microsoft responded with Windows 8, but overcompensated. Its touch-centric approach eliminated many aspects of Windows 7 that worked well on traditional computers. In such cases, it left you feeling as though you were using two different machines – one for touch and one for mice – neither of which worked perfectly.

Windows 10 combines the best of both, without that awkward tug of war. Choose desktop mode when you have a keyboard and mouse, and choose tablet mode when they are detached. You can make this automatic or have Windows prompt you each time. Your choice. You also get more control than Windows 8 over when the on-screen keyboard pops up.

Even if you don’t have a touch screen, you’ll still get some innovations from the touch world, including one-click access to common settings

such as Wi-Fi and screen brightness.

BETTER FEATURES

Windows 10 brings biometric sign-ins to computers with such capabilities. Instead of a password, you can use a fingerprint or have the device’s camera verify your identity.

Even if your computer lacks biometrics, signing in is simplified with a four-digit PIN. If it’s good enough for your bank’s ATM card, it’s good enough for your computer.

Microsoft has also ditched the much-maligned Internet Explorer browser for a new one called Edge.

It’s not only cleaner and faster than IE, it offers a few new wrinkles. For instance, Edge lets you sketch on a web page with your finger or a stylus and then share it with friends or colleagues.

Of course, you don’t have to use Edge if you prefer other popular browsers like Chrome or Firefox.

Windows 10 also brings Microsoft’s voice assistant, Cortana, to

PCs. It might feel awkward talking to a machine at your desk, but many software companies, at least, believe voice is the future. Even Apple’s bringing its Siri assistant to the Mac.

A WORK IN PROGRESS

Windows 10 isn’t perfect. For instance, it’s difficult to scroll through Google spreadsheets on Edge. For that, Google’s Chrome browser is better. Windows also won’t let you rename or move files when they are open, as you can on Mac computers.

The good news: Microsoft no longer treats Windows as something that gets overhauled every few years.

Windows 10 has been getting smaller updates roughly once a month. A bigger one coming on Aug. 2 will offer more uses for Cortana and a new feature called Windows Ink, which lets you use a digital stylus to draw or write notes on documents, maps and other apps.

These regular updates are designed to be automatic and seamless, and users of the lower-end Home edition don’t even have a choice. But for the most part, smartphone apps already update automatically, as does Google’s system for Chromebook computers.

As for getting Windows 10 itself, one worry was its potential incompatibility with older apps and accessories. But makers of those apps and accessories have had nearly a year to offer fixes. By this point, only really old and obscure hardware should give you trouble.

Older machines with slower processors, less memory and less storage space also might run into performance issues. But if your computer’s

another way to say it: 75 percent of the time, the stock market has made money since 1952 in a presidential election year.

If you look at just the last seven months of a presidential election year, the percent goes even higher, where we see gains in the market in 14 of the last 16 presidential election years. Another way to think about this: Almost 88 percent of the time in the last seven months of an election year, since 1952, the market has made money.

It seems like the closer you get to the election, the more the pressure mounts for the politicians to keep the economy chugging along. that slow, it might be time for a new machine anyway.

Microsoft began phasing out Windows 7 last year, and new apps are designed for Windows 10. You might find yourself shut out by clinging on to the past.

UPGRADE DETAILS Microsoft’s Get Windows 10 app will verify that you meet minimum system requirements, though minimum doesn’t mean speedy.

You should first back up your files to an external drive or cloud storage in case something goes wrong. But even without one, you should be able to return to Windows 7 or 8 within 31 days of upgrading. In the settings, go to “Update & security” and then “Recovery.” Your files should be OK, but you’ll lose any apps installed after upgrading to Windows 10.

July 29 is the last day you can upgrade for free. After that, you’ll have to pay up or buy a new computer.

dent to be in office, the market has lost money.

Now here we are for the seventh time since 1901 in President Obama’s eighth year of his presidential term and an election year.

Obviously, we don’t know yet if the stock market will lose money or not for 2016, but in 5 out of the last 6 eighthyear presidential terms in an election year, this has been the case.

The better part of wisdom may be to take heed to Bette Davis’ famous line from movie classic All About Eve: “Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night.”

VIEWS Mike Piershale

Now the not so good news.

Prior to President Barack Obama, there have been six previous presidents that served an eighth year in office since 1901. Presidents Woodrow Wilson in 1920, Franklin Roosevelt in 1940, Dwight Eisenhower in 1960, Ronald Reagan in 1988, Bill Clinton in 2000, and George W. Bush in 2008.

Keep in mind, eighth years are always presidential election years.

Eighth years of presidential terms go against the tendency for the markets to be positive and represent some of the worst market returns. In eighth years, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 have suffered average declines of negative 13.9 and negative 10.9, respectively. Out of these six eighth-year presidential election years, only 1988 was positive under Reagan.

If you look at this as a percent, that would mean 83 percent of the time, when it’s the eighth year for a presi-

Presidential election years are traditionally good years for the stock market according to the Stock Traders Almanac. This is partly explained by incumbent administrations shamelessly attempting to massage the economy so voters will keep them in power.

Some cold, hard facts to prove economic manipulation in presidential years appeared in a book by Edward R. Tufte called “Political Control of the Economy.” In this book he stated, “Stimulative fiscal measures designed to increase per capita income to provide a sense of well-being to the voting public included: Increases in federal budget deficits, government spending, Social Security benefits, and interest rate reductions on government loans.”

Since 1952, beginning with the Eisenhower-Stevenson election, 12 out of the past 16 presidential election years were positive for the stock market as measured by the Dow Jones. Or,

Dream of second child fades with husband’s change of heart Dear Abby: My husband, “Van,” and I have been married 10 years. He’s 40; I’m 33. Our daughter just turned 7. Shortly after she was born, Van informed me he didn’t want to have more children. He said he was happy with just one. It was hard for me to accept, but eventually I came to peace with his decision.

Recently, he began talking about wanting another child. I was, of course, very excited. After much discussion, we decided we would start trying last April, but when the time came, he confessed he’d had a change of heart.

He said he’s getting too old to have a newborn and worries about how old he’ll be once the child is grown, etc.

I respect and understand his reasoning, but I’m having trouble moving past my disappointment. I spent so much time trying to accept we

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips wouldn’t have more kids, having the opportunity again was a dream come true. I don’t want to pressure Van into changing his mind, but I’m starting to resent him. Our daughter has said she’d like a sibling, too. Abby, what to do? – Heartbroken In Georgia Dear Heartbroken: Under the circumstances, your resentment is understandable. Your husband should not have raised your hopes if he was ambivalent about something you want so badly. Couples counseling might help you to overcome your disappointment or, if he would consent to it, help him to work through his fears about becom-

ing a father again. Forty is not over the hill, and many men have added to their families at that age.

Dear Abby: My husband and I have two kids younger than 2. Our close friends “John and Jane” also have two kids under 2.

We recently invited them to our oldest daughter’s birthday party. When they arrived, Jane informed me they hadn’t had time to shop for a gift and they “owed us one.” I brushed it off and said I was just happy they came.

Well, now it’s their older daughter’s birthday. We are invited and I’m confused. Do we still buy her a gift? We want to go, but we feel ripped off because our daughter received nothing.

Would it be rude to attend the party without buying their daughter a gift? –

Ripped Off In San Diego Dear Ripped Off: Yes, it would. You

say these are close friends. John and Jane may not have followed up with a gift for your daughter because you told them you were “just happy they came,” so don’t hold it against them. If this happened repeatedly, my advice might be different, but this simply may have been an oversight.

Dear Abby: Is it appropriate for a big winner to share a small fraction of the winnings with the person who picked the successful numbers at a casino crap table? – Lucky Out West Dear Lucky: It is not only appropriate, but I think it is also expected. To do otherwise would be considered selfish – particularly by the person who was stiffed.

MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

GARDECK DETERMINED

Elbow injury doesn’t deter CLS graduate

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com

A

s Ian Gardeck released the pitch, he immediately knew something was wrong, while trying to trick his mind into denial.

How could he work this hard and pitch this well, only to injure his right elbow before major league spring training games actually started?

How could it end this way, before he even had a chance to show the San Francisco Giants what he Ian Gardeck, could really do?

San Francisco Giants “I was so minor leaguer from Lake in the Hills excited to be in big-league camp,” said Gardeck, a 2009 Crystal Lake South graduate from Lake in the Hills.

“There was no way I was not going to get a chance to throw in a big-league spring training game. So I just kind of gutted it out.”

Gardeck threw in two spring training games, fearing all along his days were numbered. After the second outing, when he could not throw the ball 40 feet, he knew it was time.

Gardeck, 25, had torn his ulnar collateral ligament and needed Tommy John surgery, which he had done March 28. He was released by the Giants – a business move so they could move another player onto their 40man roster in Gardeck’s place – then re-signed by them to a minor league contract.

While Gardeck is mending, he had surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right hip, which will be a much faster rehabilitation process. Gardeck initially was devastated but is doing his best to remain positive.

After hip surgery with Dr. Brian Kelly on June 13 in New York, Gardeck returned to his offseason home in

‘‘

I’ll stay the course and continue to work hard and come back.”

Scottsdale, Arizona, for rehabilitation. He has targeted next spring training for a return.

“If you’re going to tear it, that’s the time of year to tear it because you don’t want to miss more than one competing year,” Gardeck said. “With Tommy John (surgery), it’s a standard year (recovery).”

Dr. David Altcheck, a New York orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports injuries, performed his UCL surgery. The hip injury, stemming from a problem that developed in 2014, was something Gardeck just dealt with. Because he was out of commission, he and the Giants figured it was a good time to get that repaired, too.

“It might help my career out,” Gardeck said. “It should help with my everyday functionality.”

Gardeck was coming off a breakout season in which he had a 3.54 ERA for the Giants’ Double-A San Jose team.

He struck out 104 batters in 86 innings as a relief pitcher. The best part was that Gardeck, who throws in the high 90 mph range, walked only 24.

That progress landed Gardeck on the Giants’ 40-man roster, assuring

him a trip to spring training with the big club. He was thrilled to re-sign with the Giants, who drafted him in 2012 in the 16th round.

“They needed the roster spot to help the club out. I understood that completely,” Gardeck said. “I had no doubt I wanted to sign back with them on a minor league deal and stay with the team that took me from Day 1 and believed in me and stood by me and wanted me back.”

Gardeck loved the Giants before he became injured. He loved them even more when he faced that adversity during spring training.

As Gardeck received medical confirmation on what he already knew, a veteran player offered some uplifting consolation.

“I was noticeably upset; it was hard to deal with,” Gardeck said. “I remember walking to my locker and (outfielder) Hunter Pence was right there. Honestly, there couldn’t have been a better guy for me to run into after hearing that. The positivity, the willingness to help a younger player, the ability to show the belief I’d be back and to encourage me to grow and better myself as a person and player during this time was incredible.”

Pitcher Jake Peavy also offered encouraging words. Gardeck saw it all as the Giants’ modus operandi.

Gardeck also heard from executive vice president of baseball operations Brian Sabean, general manager Bobby Evans and others, all sharing in his angst and assuring him he would be back.

It helps with Gardeck’s mood that pitchers regularly return from Tommy John surgery and thrive. Another local player, Crystal Lake Central graduate Connor Sadzeck, is two years-plus removed from that procedure and pitching better than ever for the Texas Rangers’ Double-A affiliate Frisco RoughRiders.

“The road hasn’t always been a direct path for me, with control (issues) and all of that,” Gardeck said.

“I’ll stay the course and continue to work hard and come back. I have the resources here (in Arizona) to give me every opportunity.”

Gardeck will be off crutches four weeks after surgery. By 12 weeks, he will be clear with his hip. He hopes to be throwing by late September, which would put him in line with his regular offseason throwing regimen.

“I’m here to work on my body,” Gardeck said. “You really learn a lot during rehab, things you neglected.

You have to be really meticulous in your preparation, and guys come back harder with their attention to detail.”

jlavaccare@shawmedia.com Kevin Blaz of McHenry will participate this month in the Brine National Lacrosse Academy in Virginia, a tournament and clinic for the nation’s top young lacrosse players, for the second consecutive year.

Last year, Blaz was one of only 18 incoming eighth-graders seKevin Blaz lected for an event that is mostly intended for incoming freshmen, and he admitted he was “nervous” when he first got to the event. He gained confidence after scoring a game-winning goal and tallying numerous assists against high-level competition at the academy.

After a season’s worth of practice with his travel team, the True Lacrosse All Star State Team for Illinois, Blaz said he is less nervous about this

Blaz, who will be a freshman at Marian Central in the fall, is one of two McHenry County teens selected to participate in the academy July 19 to 22 in Richmond, Virginia. Crystal Lake Central freshman Nate McLean, the other local athlete who was selected for the Illinois team, is a friend of Blaz’s.

Although they play different positions and are on different travel teams, McLean and Blaz are similar in build and lacrosse skill set. Both are not particularly tall for their age, and both are said by parents and coaches to thrive on lacrosse IQ and work ethic.

“We’ve reached a threshold in the past year or two where he’s almost equal in lacrosse IQ,” Jim Blaz said.

“Kevin, I find when I talk to him now, it’s almost like having a peer. …Oftentimes I can actually ask him for advice on certain things. We often talk things over, and sometimes he has some real good advice that I don’t see as a coach that he sees as a player.”

Blaz hopes to play college lacrosse after finishing a four-year career at Marian. Jim Blaz said the experience performing under pressure with college coaches and skilled teammates watching at the Brine Academy will help Blaz prepare for the challenges of making a college team.

“I think being able to play in this atmosphere will help him down the road,” Jim Blaz said. “If he goes through a showcase or has a college coach go watch him, I think he can say, ‘I had a bunch of them over at Brine, and I did pretty well there.’ ”

American Querry ends Djokovic’s 30-match Slam streak Saturday in London

By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press

LONDON – Facing yet another critical point during a match he never controlled, Novak Djokovic stretched for a half-volley drop winner, held up his right index finger – reminding the world, “I’m No. 1!” – then threw an uppercut and bellowed.

Perhaps this was the moment everyone kept expecting as he tried to dig himself out of a daunting deficit against 41st-ranked Sam Querrey in the third round at Wimbledon. Perhaps this was a sign Djokovic was rediscovering the consistency, efficiency and excellence he maintained for more than a year on tennis’s most important stages.

To wit: Djokovic had won 30 consecutive Grand Slam matches, carrying him to four consecutive Grand Slam titles, the longest such run by a man in nearly a half-century. He didn’t just appear to be unbeatable at the majors.

He was.

No longer. His magical streaks are gone, including two successive titles at the All England Club and 28 Grand Slam quarterfinal appearances in a row, all brought to a sudden, stunning end by a player who has never participated in a major quarterfinal. With 31 aces against as good a returner as there is, Querrey did what no one else could for so long, beating Djokovic, 7-6

Novak Djokovic wipes his face during his loss to Sam Querrey on Saturday at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London.

(6), 6-1, 3-6, 7-6 (5), in a match interrupted Saturday by three rain delays after being suspended in progress because of showers a night earlier.

“He just overpowered me,” was Djokovic’s simple assessment.

Djokovic was stopped halfway to the first calendar-year Grand Slam by a man since Rod Laver’s in 1969.

“I believe in positive things in life, and I managed to win four Grand Slams in a row – two different seasons, though. I want to try to focus on that,” Djokovic said, “rather than failure.”

His last loss at any major came against Stan Wawrinka in the French Open final in June 2015. Since then, Djokovic won Wimbledon last July, the U.S. Open in September, the Australian Open in January and the French Open last month, raising his

There was a plan.

Maybe there still is for the Bulls.

That just seemed hard to grasp by Day 2 of free agency.

In trading Derrick Rose to New York last week, general manager Gar Forman insisted the deal was made with a very specific purpose in mind.

“Retooling,” not rebuilding was stressed by Forman.

“Our plan moving forward is we feel like we need to get younger, we feel like we need to get more athletic,” Forman said. “Obviously we need to find players that will fit the style of play that [coach] Fred [Hoiberg] wants to play. In making this trade we feel it’s the first step in that direction.”

OK, reasonable.

But all of that fell out the window as soon as the market bell rang, and

that is improving. If anything, they are taking several steps back with the hope a large payroll for the summer of 2017 will net them two maximum players to go along with Jimmy Butler and Robin Lopez, as well as the likes of Denzel Valentine, Bobby Portis and Doug McDermott.

6 BLACKHAWKS ANALYSIS

Bowman addresses most obvious need

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com Everything you need to know about the Blackhawks’ defense last season can be summed up in one sentence: David Rundblad played in Game 7 against the Blues.

A player who had spent the bulk of his Hawks career in a finely tailored suit and who basically had fled to Switzerland just to get some playing time played 10 minutes against the Blues in an elimination game.

So while coach Joel Quenneville suggested the Hawks’ biggest flaw last season was their lack of depth up front, the defense was the most glaring problem – a group that was too top-heavy, too reliant on rookies and too often had to be bailed out by goalie Corey Crawford. The Hawks’ strongest unit in recent years had become its most glaring weakness.

The Hawks used 11 defensemen during the season. Trevor Daley didn’t fit. Rob Scuderi couldn’t keep up. Christian Ehrhoff was a failed experiment.

Erik Gustafsson showed great promise but lost his confidence and his aggressiveness. Viktor Svedberg is 6-foot-8 but has room to grow. Rundblad forever will be general manager Stan Bowman’s most curious infatuation. Trevor van Riemsdyk was a good No. 5 defenseman shoehorned into a No. 4 role. Basically, the Hawks’ back end was Duncan Keith, Niklas Hjalmarsson, Brent Seabrook and a shrug.

Suddenly, however, things don’t look so bad. Two moves have improved the Hawks’ defensive outlook greatly.

And while the forward group still has massive holes at the top and bottom that will have to be filled by unproven prospects and journeymen, the blue line has been bolstered by two savvy signings.

First, Bowman signed Czech defenseman Michal Kempny in May. At 25 and with a year of experience in the Kontinental Hockey League, Kempny is expected to come in and play right away. Second, Bowman persuaded veteran Brian Campbell to rejoin the Hawks for a reported $2.25 million – less than half what the Panthers offered to keep him. It wasn’t a tough sell, considering Campbell desperately wanted to return to his adopted hometown. But it was a coup nonetheless.

“Amazing pickup,” Hawks star Patrick Kane said Friday on ESPN Radio.

“If you look back at our team last year, maybe the one thing that could have been lacking was an extra defenseman.”

Just like that, the Hawks have a

Just like that, van Riemsdyk is on the third pairing and can be put in more favorable positions. And, just like that, Michal Rozsival, Gustafsson and Svedberg can be rotation players and injury replacements, not go-to guys.

“We wanted to upgrade our defense, and certainly Brian is a big part of that,” Bowman said. “We’re very high on Michal Kempny, as well. ... You put all that together, and our defense is looking very, very strong. It’s a strong point of our team right now.”

It will have to be. Because if Quenneville was lamenting his lack of forward depth with Andrew Ladd, Andrew Shaw, Teuvo Teravainen, Dale Weise and Tomas Fleischmann around, wait’ll he sees what he has when he gets back from the World Cup of Hockey in October.

Who will be Jonathan Toews’ wingers? Richard Panik and a rookie such as Tyler Motte or Nick Schmaltz? Is Marian Hossa better suited to a shutdown role now? Will West Dundee’s Ryan Hartman replace Shaw as a scrappy, do-it-all player? Can Bowman sneak in any more role-player free agents under the salary cap, or will the fourth line be made up of prospects such as Vinnie Hinostroza, Dennis Rasmussen, Tanner Kero and Kyle Baun?

The Hawks were a one-line team for most of last season, with Kane and Artemi Panarin doing most of the heavy lifting. They’re even thinner up front now.

So there’s still plenty of work to be done, plenty of personnel to sift through.

But one problem at a time. And the Hawks just addressed their biggest one.

“I don’t want to lose my last race on American soil,” he said.

Katie Ledecky and Maya DiRado also won their third individual events on the next-to-last night of the trials, while Nathan Adrian made up for the disappointment of four years ago by winning the 50

freestyle.

For Ledecky, it’s been the dominating performance everyone expected, this one an almost 10-second victory in the 800 freestyle.

For DiRado, it’s been a huge surprise, the first-time Olympian setting herself up to make quite a splash before she retires at age 23.

• Sunday, July 3, 2016

OMAHA, Neb. – Michael Phelps wasn’t about to lose his last race in the United States.

With his gangly arms cutting through the water, Phelps dazzled the home fans one last time.

Phelps made it three-for-three at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials, rallying on the return lap to win the 100-meter butterfly Saturday night.

In what was billed as the farewell race in his home country, Phelps competed in lane seven after a sluggish swim in the semifinals. As usual, it took him a lap to really get going, making the turn in fourth place.

But Phelps powered to the front, as he’s done so many times.

Even with a long glide to the wall, he finished in 51.00 seconds.

When Phelps saw the “1’’ beside his name, he pounded the water and pointed toward his family – including 7-week-old son Boomer – up in the stands. He’ll now get a chance to win his fourth straight gold in the 100 fly at Rio. When his longtime coach, Bob Bow-

A late bloomer who already lined up a job as a business analyst in Atlanta, she followed her victories in the 200 and 400 individual medley by knocking off defending Olympic champion Missy Franklin in the 200 backstroke.

Franklin finished second to at least ensure she’ll get a chance to go for another gold in Rio. Phelps, of course, is also planning to retire – for the second time – as soon as his fifth Olympics are over. At age 31, he cruised through Omaha with victories in both butterfly races as well as the 200 individual medley.

Assuming he is on all three men’s relays in Rio, a virtual lock, he’ll get a chance to add six more medals to his already massive collection of 18 golds and 22 medals overall.

The second Olympic spot in the 100 fly went to Tom Shields, who touched in 51.20 to edge Seth Stubblefield (51.24).

“We did everything that we wanted to do,” Phelps said.

Well, not quite. He’ll need to go even faster in Rio. “A 51.0 is OK,” he said, “but it’s going to take more than that to win a gold medal.”

8 WHITE SOX 7, ASTROS 6

Offense helps Sale earn 14th win Lefty in line to earn All-Star starting nod

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

HOUSTON – If Chris Sale wins his final start before the All-Star Game, likely to be made Friday against the Atlanta Braves at U.S. Cellular Field, the White Sox ace would take a 15-2 record into the Midsummer Classic.

That would seem to make him a virtual shoo-in to get the nod to be the starting pitcher July 12 in San Diego, which Sale says would be cool and all but is holding off talking about it until he’s done with taking care of White Sox business first.

To that end, Sale pitched well enough – with the backing of 13 hits from the Sox lineup – to earn a 7-6 victory over the red-hot Houston Astros on Saturday at Minute Maid Park.

Dioner Navarro drove in four runs for the Sox. By settling down to retire 13 of 14 Astros in a stretch after getting nicked for four runs and finishing with nine strikeouts and one walk, Sale became the fourth Sox pitcher to reach 14 wins before the All-Star break and has the most since left-hander Wilbur Wood won 16 before the break in 1974. Sale (14-2,

2.93 ERA) has a chance to tie Pedro Martinez (15 wins in 1999) and David Wells (15 in 2000) for the most wins by an AL pitcher before the break since 1990.

“He finds a way and continues to impress,” said manager Robin Ventura, who has been touting his ace as the best pitcher in the AL. Sale will leave the accolades for others, calling the 14 wins “one more than 13” and leaving it at that.

“It’s nice, it’s important,” he said. “But I’ve said it a million times, there’s only one won-loss record that matters.”

The Sox’s record, which Sale says means the most, is at 41-40 at the halfway point of the season. They certainly have the look of a .500 team, but with an opportunity to win a fourth straight series Sunday – three of them against good teams – they continue to take themselves seriously as a postseason contender.

“Tomorrow we have to come and win the series,” said Adam Eaton, thankful his teammates picked up him on a day he ran into two outs.

“If we focus on that, we’ll be fine. Can’t AP photo chase the guys winning 14 in a row [the division leading Indians]. You have to win series White Sox starter Chris Sale pitches in the first inning against the Astros on Saturday in Houston. every three or four days.”

SOX NOTES

Sox sign 9 international prospects, acquire catcher

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

HOUSTON – The White Sox signed nine international prospects Saturday, including the 16-year-old nephew of former major-league star Vladimir Guerrero.

Outfielder Josue Guerrero, who signed for $1.1 million, was the highest-rated of the bunch at No. 33 by Baseball America.

The Sox also signed outfielders Luis Mieses, Anderson Comas and Anthony Coronado, right-handers Jenderson Caraballo and Brayan Herrera, lefthander Hector Acosta, infielder Lenyn Sosa and catcher Kleyder Sanchez.

Guerrero “is a very similar player to his uncle at this same age in terms of his physical makeup, his body, his swing, his tools,” said Marco Paddy, the Sox’s special assistant to the general manager in charge of international operations.

“Like several of these players, he has a chance to be a very special player.”

Mieses was rated the No. 36 international prospect by Baseball America, and Comas was No. 37.

Paddy called the class “deep across a number of positions.”

“This is a big, physical and athletic group of young men who have impressed us both on and off the field as we have gotten to know them,” he said. “We are excited to have them begin their careers with the White Sox.” Sox land minor-league catcher: The Sox acquired 23-year-old catcher Alfredo Gonzalez from the Astros for cash considerations and optioned him to Double-A Birmingham. To make room for Gonzalez on the 40-man roster, the Sox moved right-hander Daniel Webb (Tommy John surgery) to the 60-day disabled list.

The Astros designated Gonzalez for assignment June 25 after he hit .158 in 44 games with Double-A Corpus Christi. He has thrown out 45.5 percent of would-be base-stealers after throwing out 47 percent between Single-A and Double-A last

season.

Risky business: Manager Robin Ventura used catcher Dioner Navarro as the designated hitter Saturday. It was a somewhat risky decision, given that the pitcher would have had to bat if Navarro had been forced to move behind the plate in the event of an injury to Alex Avila.

“There is a risk, but it’s the best part of our lineup having both of them in there,” Ventura said. “But when we do it with Dio, being a switch hitter, you’re probably not going to pinch-hit for him.

So if somebody gets hurt, you turn it into National League rules.”

Ventura’s gamble paid off. Navarro tripled against Astros starter Doug Fister to drive in two runs in the second and singled in two more runs in the fifth, knocking Fister out of the game.

“You’re trying to find a way to get some offense in matchups that are right,” said Ventura, who indicated outfielder Melky Cabrera, another switch hitter, likely will be out until Monday with a sprained right wrist.

He had been 19-0 in 24 regular-season road starts since losing at St. Louis on May 7, 2015 – to current teammate John Lackey. Arrieta is the only pitcher since 1913 to win 19 consecutive road deci-

sions. However, he lost Game 2 of last year’s NL Championship Series at Citi Field.

“Believe me, we’re all going to be in for a treat when this all gets straightened out,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said.

“He’s going to look like he did last year.”

CUBS NOTES

Don’t look for any Cubs in Home Run Derby

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

NEW YORK – The Cubs might have half the National League’s starting lineup for the All-Star Game. But unlike last year, they won’t have anyone in the Home Run Derby.

First baseman Anthony Rizzo said Saturday he has decided not to participate, and one day after taking over sole possession of the NL’s home run lead, third baseman Kris Bryant said he hasn’t changed his mind about skipping the event.

“I think I made it pretty clear I didn’t really want to do it,” said Bryant, who can expect a call from the league office “encouraging” him to participate, especially if his home run lead holds up, say insiders. “I haven’t heard anything [from MLB].”

He said the event last year was so long and tiring that “I felt it the next day.” Bryant, who went to college in San Diego, also expects to have a lot of family and friends in town there for AllStar festivities.

“I just really want to enjoy the moment as much as I can,” he said of the week.

Until the past few days, Rizzo said he was undecided on participating. A recent episode of recurring back pain that cost him two games made the decision easy.

“Yeah, it’s just smarter to just relax,” said Rizzo, whose 20th homer of the season tied Saturday’s game in the fourth. “Not that I wouldn’t enjoy being in it. But I’m just probably going to hang out.”

The National League side could be short on marquee names in the derby, with the Mets’ Yoenis Cespedes already opting out because of a recent wrist injury and Colorado’s Nolan Arenado saying recently he was considering skipping it.

Warren commissioned: Right-hander Adam Warren has been scheduled to make his anticipated spot start Wednesday against the Reds after the swingman made two starts in the minors to prepare.

The Cubs are using Warren’s start

to give the rotation a day off during a 24-games-in-24-days stretch leading into the All-Star break. After his start, Jason Hammel, Jake Arrieta, Jon Lester and John Lackey are scheduled, in order, to finish out the first half.

Kyle Hendricks winds up with a skipped start and will pitch on 10 days’ rest in the second-half opener July 15 against Texas.

Manager Joe Maddon said the club still is considering whether to give Warren another spot start on the other side of the break, but a six-man rotation – even temporarily – is not in play.

Tidbits: Jon Lester was named the National League’s pitcher of the month for June, after a 4-0 month with a 1.41 ERA, and 44 strikeouts with just seven walks in six starts. “He’s pitching as good as anybody right now in baseball,” Maddon said. ... Outfielder Chris Coghlan left Saturday’s game in the third inning because of right rib-cage soreness. That could mean a DL move that opens a spot on the roster for infielder Tommy La Stella (hamstring), who was expected back from the DL no later than Monday.

NEW YORK – Jake Arrieta was not accustomed to this.

The NL Cy Young Award winner started his first eight batters with balls.

He went to 3-2 counts four times in a 35-pitch first inning, allowing Neil Walker’s two-run homer.

“It’s frustrating for me, because I expect a lot more out of myself,” he said Saturday night after the New York Mets beat the Cubs, 4-3, in Arrieta’s first regular-season road loss in 14 months.

Just after Anthony Rizzo tied the score with a two-run, fourth-inning homer off Bartolo Colon, Travis d’Arnaud blooped a two-run single in the bottom half that sent the Mets to their third straight win in the four-game series, which ends Sunday.

Arrieta (12-3) won his first 12 decisions, reaffirming his status as a premier pitcher. Now he’s lost three times in six starts, giving up four runs and eight hits in 51/3 innings against the defending NL champions.

“Poor performance on my end,” he said. “Just didn’t get the effort my team

Arrieta said issues with mechanics were overblown.

“We’re spinning our wheels a little bit too much trying to figure out what the solution is, or is there a problem,” he said. “I just need to pitch better. That’s the bottom line.”

Rookie Brandon Nimmo walked leading off the first, and Walker sent a 94 mph sinker off the facing of the second deck in right. Walker had been 4 for 28 against Arrieta, including the postseason.

“He just wasn’t throwing as many strikes early in the count as I’ve been accustomed to facing him,” Walker said.

“When you’re 1-0, 2-1 with everybody, it makes it difficult to use that entire arsenal.”

With the score tied at 2 in the fourth and runners at first and second, d’Arnaud popped a ball into short center field, in the middle of a triangle formed by center fielder Jason Heyward, second baseman Javy Baez and shortstop Addison Russell. On a full run toward the outfield and with his back to home plate, Baez reached up with his right, bare hand, but the ball glanced off it and fell to the ground as two runs scored.

10 NASCAR SPRINT CUP: COKE ZERO 400

Keselowski earns 1st Daytona victory

By JENNA FRYER

The Associated Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Brad Keselowski finally won at Daytona International Speedway, a track that had eluded him despite strong success in restrictor plate races.

Keselowski has four career victories at Talladega Superspeedway, including a win there in May. But he never could pull it off at Daytona, at least not until Saturday night’s dominating run.

He said his futility at Daytona was “a kick in the you-know-what,” but he and his No. 2 Ford crew kept chipping away at it even after he had a disappointing run in the season-opening Daytona 500.

“I’ve doubted myself here,” said Keselowski, who had only three top-10 finishes in 14 previous starts at Daytona.

The win was the 100th for Team Penske.

“It’s Daytona, and this is huge. I love this place,” Keselowski said.

The race was marred by a 22-car accident that collected more than half the field and thinned the competition for Keselowski. It really only left Kyle Busch as

a legitimate contender, but a restart for a two-lap shootout that sent it into overtime forced Keselowski to earn the win.

He easily held off Busch, and challenger Kurt Busch was eliminated when he was knocked out of line as they headed to the checkered flag.

Trevor Bayne finished third and was followed by Keselowski teammate Joey Logano and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. as Ford drivers took four of the top five spots.

It was a plan to work together and disrupt the Toyota contingent that used teamwork to dominate the Daytona 500.

Instead, Kyle Busch was the only Toyota driver to finish inside the top 10.

Kyle Larson was sixth and the highest finishing Chevrolet. He was followed by Austin Dillon, who ended last year’s race in an airborne accident, then pole-sitter Greg Biffle and Clint Bowyer.

Michael McDowell was 10th.

Tony Stewart, seeking his fifth victory in his final race at Daytona, was in contention until a late accident. He finAP photo ished 26th.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. was the defending Jamie McMurray (top left), Greg Biffle (16), Jimmie Johnson (48), Martin Truex Jr. (78), race winner, but never contended Satur- Danica Patrick (10), Ryan Newman (31), Chris Buescher (34), Paul Menard (27) and others wreck Saturday night at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla. day and finished 21st.

CYCLING: TOUR DE FRANCE

Cavendish honors D-Day after Utah Beach win

By ANDREW DAMPF The Associated Press

SAINTE-MARIE-DUMONT, France – Minutes after pulling on the yellow jersey for the first time in his awardfilled career, Mark Cavendish walked over to the Utah Beach Peace Monument and placed a white rose to commemorate the Allied landings in Normandy that took place there more than 70 years ago.

It was a memorable moment that crowned a day full of emotions for the British cyclist, who won a sprint at the end of the crash-affected opening stage of the Tour de France and took the overall lead Saturday.

It was Cavendish’s 27th stage win in the French classic – third on the all-time list behind Eddy Merckx (34) and Bernard Hinault (28) – but he had never won the opening leg, which is often a time trial.

Cavendish has worn the leader’s jerseys at the Giro d’Italia and the Spanish Vuelta.

“It’s going be a special day

Britain’s Mark Cavendish (right) and other riders lay flowers at the Utah Beach Monument on Saturday after the first stage of the Tour de France, which was won by Cavendish. tomorrow to ride a stage in yellow,” Cavendish said. “There was no better place to achieve this than Utah Beach where soldiers died for us.

“It’s an incredible opportunity to remember and respect not just those that fought and died on D-Day but fought and

died across all the wars and brought freedom to the Western world,” he added.

After the stage, Cavendish joined a specially invited group of American, Canadian, French, Belgian and German riders for a ceremony at the Peace Monument.

German rival Marcel Kittel and Slovakian Peter Sagan finished second and third, respectively, in the 117-mile picturesque stage, which began at Mont-Saint-Michel, a World Heritage Benedictine abbey perched on a rock off the Normandy coast.

Two years ago, Cavendish was the overwhelming favorite to win the opening stage and take yellow when the Tour opened on his home roads in England. But he crashed during the sprint, separated his right shoulder, and had to withdraw from the race.

Once dominant, Cavendish has also struggled to keep up with rivals like Kittel and Andre Greipel in recent years.

The 31-year-old joined South African team Dimension Data for this season after shoulder surgery in September.

“Ever since 2008, it’s been the end of me. I guess that’s just how it is – something to talk about,” Cavendish said.

“I would stay home if I didn’t think I could win.”

Cavendish was behind Sagan and Kittel entering the final 150 meters, but Kittel went around Sagan on the left and Cavendish slipped by on the right and easily surged in front.

Pushed by a strong tail wind of up to 43 mph, the leaders required slightly more than four hours to reach the finish.

Two-time Tour winner Alberto Contador crashed midway through the stage, and several riders were involved in an ugly high-speed crash on the final straight.

Contador hit a traffic curb while coming around a right turn. The Spaniard came away with some serious abrasions and had his jersey ripped on his back and right shoulder, but he was quickly helped back to the peloton by his Tinkoff teammates.

“I’m bruised all down along my right side from my ankle up, but at least I don’t have to go home,” Contador said.

“Hopefully, I can get through the coming days and recover before the mountains.”

GOLF ROUNDUP

Day, Piercy share lead in Akron The ASSOCIATED PRESS AKRON, Ohio – Jason Day had no indication Saturday at the Bridgestone Invitational would be such hard work until one swing.

His plan was to hit a draw with his driver, and the shot started out to the right. Trouble is, it kept going to the right until he was deep in the trees.

“That came out of nowhere,” Day said.

“It wasn’t just down the right. It was way right. I think it’s more of a mental thing when it comes to those ones because when you’re sharp and you’re on your game and you’re hitting it great, you don’t miss them that far.”

It didn’t help that he missed again on the next hole. And then the next one. Or that he hit only three fairways on a Firestone course that demands more.

Day still turned that into a 1-under-par 69 to share the lead with Scott Piercy.

Piercy, coming off a runner-up finish in the U.S. Open two weeks ago at Oakmont, quickly tied Day for the lead with an eagle on the par-5 second hole and was flawless until the final hole, which he bogeyed for a 67.

They were at 5-under 205, the highest 54-hole score at this World Golf Championship since 2007.

vada, Greg Chalmers birdied five of the final six holes to increase his lead to six points in the PGA Tour’s lone modified Stableford scoring event.

The 42-year-old Australian had seven birdies and a bogey for a 15-point round and 39-point total at Montreux in the scoring system that awards eight points for double eagle, five points for eagle, two points for birdie and deducts a point for bogey and three points for double bogey or worse.

Ben Martin and Gary Woodland were tied for second.

Father’s old pack durable enough to carry both loss and survival This morning, as I packed for my annual fishing trip to Ontario with my buddy Jim, I had a tough choice to make – the same tough choice I have to make every year around this time: Should I bring along that old rucksack?

It’s an old, worn, olive green canvas daypack that has been around the house all my life. Printed on the inside of the top flap are the letters USMC. Beneath that is the date: 1941.

On top of the flap, faded by weather but still legible, are initials: W.P.K. They are my father’s initials, inked by his hand, because this was the rucksack my father carried on his back through the jungles of New Caledonia during World War II. It was one of the few artifacts he brought home with him when the war ended – other than a long scar of stitches in his knee and a circulatory system ravaged by tropical diseases.

He didn’t treat the pack as a trophy, or a shrine, or a reminder of his service to his country. A practical man, he continued to use it for its intended purpose, because it was perfectly suited for rough treatment on a fishing or hunting trip.

It impressed me that he could treat such a historical treasure so casually, but as I got older, one detail about the rucksack bothered me: the USMC stamp.

“Are you sure this is the same pack you used?” I asked him. “You were in the Army, not the Marines.”

He nodded. “It’s the same pack. Near the end of the war, as we moved from place to place, it got harder for supplies to get to us. If you lost something like your trenching tool or a daypack, you just had to do without it unless you bumped into somebody with two of them, and then you could trade for something he needed that you had two of.

“Or … maybe you could find one that somebody didn’t need any more.”

I didn’t ask him what he meant by equipment that “somebody didn’t need any more,” because by then I was old enough to read between the lines. It was war, and an uncomfortable fact about war is materiel often outlived men.

He never explained whether he came upon the rucksack through swap or grim salvage. I never asked, because Dad rarely offered details of his service.

The pack keeps silent, too.

In any case, Dad survived the war by

Photo provided

nearly 50 years, and for all those years, that rucksack was his casual co-survivor on fishing or hunting trips.

And when Dad died, the worn little daypack was passed on to me.

Though it is mine now, I can’t treat Dad’s old rucksack as casually as he did. After all, it is a genuine historical artifact, a 75-year-old survivor from the most devastating war of all human history.

And more than that, it belonged to the man I love more than any other man in history. It has been drenched in his sweat and his fear. It has been anointed in his courage.

So it’s hard to treat a genuine 75-yearold historical war artifact your father slung over his shoulders through mudand-blood drenched jungles as if you just picked it up at Cabela’s.

If Dad saw my packing dilemma this morning, he would simply smile and shake his head. “You’ve got a fishing trip coming up, don’t you?” he would say. “You can’t find a better pack. Use it!”

Well, I have used the pack on other fishing trips, and once I almost lost it.

About 20 years ago, my canoe over-

turned in Canadian wilderness waters at least 30 feet deep. Fortunately, I was near shore, so it was an easy matter to pull the boat onto dry land and spill the water from it. But I was heartbroken that Dad’s pack must surely have sunk to the bottom.

But when I righted the canoe, I was overjoyed to see the pack was still there, its straps snagged on one of the seats – just one more tale of survival the pack will never tell.

Which is why I have decided to take the rucksack with me to Canada again this year, because my yearly trip with Jim has become, in its own way, a symbol of survival.

Jim and his wife had been our nextdoor neighbors for 27 years before they moved to Phoenix, but they insisted our friendship would survive. He still flies in to meet me every summer so we can go fishing to Canada and catch up on old times.

Jim himself is a survivor, having recently beaten diabetes that threatened to take his legs from him. He had to lose more than a hundred pounds to do it, along with other necessary surgeries, but he’s still here to tell the tale.

And then there’s my wife’s stroke six years ago, which nearly killed her. She now needs a caregiver every hour of the day and night – but our daughter takes one week off from work each summer to give me a caregiving break so my fishing trip with Jim can live on.

And so, as I sit in the boat with that old rucksack next week, I’ll think of Dad every time I open it up to get something.

I’ll miss Dad when I do, because that old pack will remind me of people and things I have lost in my life.

But it also will remind me of all the near-losses that still survive despite the odds.

One day it will be my turn to pass it on to one of my kids or grandkids. And then it will be their turn to make the hard decision about what to do with it.

I hope they use it and add more tales it might tell with its worn and willful silence.

GARDENS COME ALIVE

Annual walk shares McHenry County gardeners’ stories, experiences to inspire others to start planting

F

By LINDSAY WEBER ∆ editorial@nwherald.com

or more than 20 years, the McHenry County Master Gardeners Garden Walk has been inspiring attendees to get out of the house and into the dirt. The 2016 walk on July 9 is no exception.

Barrington resident Kathy Callaci is looking forward to her second year attending the walk.

“It’s so inspiring to see how people arrange things in their gardens or use flowers that I never thought of planting or growing,” Callaci said. “You just want to get home and start planting and digging and moving things around in your own garden.”

Callaci found a tie to her past when she bought some Spiderwort from last year’s plant sale, a flower her mother had featured in their front yard when Callaci was growing up.

“I recognized it right away but never knew what is was called. It was really neat to connect to my childhood and take home a little piece of nostalgia,” Callaci said.

Featuring eight gardens in the county, the tour begins at the McHenry County College Demonstration Garden and makes its way through Crystal Lake, Marengo and Huntley. Choosing the gardens to showcase is no easy task, with scouting beginning a year before the walk.

“

It’s all about possibilities.

There is so much that people can do with their gardens, and this is a great opportunity for others to get ideas and discover what others are doing and take that home with them.”

• WALK

Continued from page 3

“From the many gardens we consider each year, we make our decision based on those that will offer our guests an opportunity to learn about flowers, trees and shrubs from our experts, the gardeners of McHenry County,” Garden Walk Committee co-chairwoman Marianne Zito said.

“We think our guests will be able to relate to these unique properties and learn a lot about the art of gardening from them.”

Along with fellow co-chairwomen Bonnie Altenburg and Jan Jetel, Zito said they look for gardens that inspire, have a great story and are truly “homegrown,” so to speak.

“Our guests are looking for ideas that they can apply to their own yards, not the work of hired crews,” Zito said. “As we interview the potential homeowners, we learn about their garden’s history and the trials and Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com joys they have experienced gardening.

Fellow featured gardener Trudi Temple has quite a project on her hands managing her own garden, which sits on a 73-acre farm. With seating arrangements for beautiful views, open meadow areas and a large collection of conifers, Temple has no trouble divulging what the best place in her garden is.

“My favorite spot is always the place that’s the cleanest and weedfree,” Temple said. “Of course, it changes with the seasons but I’m attracted to the place that’s cultivated nicely. I think a garden full of weeds is like a picture out of focus.”

Gardening since the age of 6, the Marengo resident said she hopes people find her garden to be a place of peace and get enjoyment as well as knowledge on how to garden better.

“It is my lifelong hobby, and I’ve devoted so much time to making my garden beautiful,” Temple said. “I Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com hope that everyone who comes takes a part of what they see with them.”

If you came across any of Barbara Sanderson’s work in a garden, you might think you’d stepped into Alice’s Wonderland. The Seattle-based glass blower crafts flowers, arbors, lights and fountains for natural settings, aiming to create a magical, otherworldly tableau.

“I love to add another dimension to what already exists,” she said.

Art created for the outdoors can bring drama and design to a garden or patio. Sheila Jeffrey, a landscape designer from Collingwood, Ontario, suggests thinking of outdoor space as you would a room, with a floor, walls and ceiling.

“As with interior art, consider the overall theme or feel of the space when you’re choosing outdoor accents,” she said.

“Walls or fences are often overlooked and are a great place for an interesting focal point.”

For wall art, consider vintage objects, such as picture frames, mirrors, cast iron grates, architectural elements or antique signs as outdoor wall art.

Arrange groupings of small vessels like planted terra cotta pots, buckets or paint cans. Put themed vignettes on shelves.

“Vintage ’60s metal wall sculptures are a favorite of mine,” said Jeffrey, “and you can often find them at yard sales. Clear-coat them with a good exterior-grade polyurethane before displaying.”

Sanderson’s inspiration for making outdoor pieces comes from fond memories of visiting her grandfather’s English garden as a teenager.

“I spent some time gazing into his pond, appreciating the soothing sound that water makes in a garden setting,” Sanderson recalls.

“I returned home determined to create a water feature for myself. That was the beginning of my focus on garden artwork.”

They can be used to make mosaics and interesting screens. She used an old metal bed as a planter, with flowers as the “pillows” and “quilt.” Her fondness for functional art led her to create a “canalito,” a canal made from stones that carries away storm water, while winding artfully around trees and beds.

“Art can evoke the very nature of a place,” she said, pointing out a kinetic sculpture in a hill-top

Actions among family more influential than words “Shelly” wanted her son and her husband to stop drinking and, as she often said, “get some help!” She almost never let up with that mantra.

Shelly had stopped misusing her pain medication and anti-anxiety medication largely because the doctor refused to continue to prescribe them, but she continued to have her cocktails.

She figured if she could stop the pills, they could stop the liquor.

The outcome of this family dynamic was as destructive as it was predictable. Shelly’s husband resented her aggressiveness and controlling methods and would counter her demands by calling her a hypocrite

and having an extra drink or two. Her son would just leave, having had enough of the fighting. In all fairness, Shelly’s husband used her demands to justify what he would have done anyway and later to justify getting worse.

It wasn’t her fault he drank too much; it was simply an ineffective way to approach his drinking problem.

Shelly had never done anything about the thinking part of her problem, and as things got worse at home, so did her blaming and her drinking. Shelly didn’t want to get a divorce, although she threatened it almost daily.

She realized she couldn’t get her husband or her son to quit drinking, and she saw no way out.

Her friend mentioned she had heard about Al Anon, a group, she said, that would “get her husband to quit.”

Shelly jumped at the possibility, thinking an intervention was right around the corner.

She sorely was disappointed when at her first meeting they told her Al Anon was about her controlling, self-righteous and blaming behavior, that her happiness was her responsibility and, further, that her drinking and former drug use might qualify her for the very steps she wanted her husband to take.

“That will be the last time I talk to those uninformed mopes,” she thought.

Six months later, as things continued to deterio-

Aside from platinum, there are a number of other white metals that are used to create beautiful pieces of jewelry. Some are very well known and widely used in the jewelry industry like white gold and sterling silver. While others, such as German silver and vermeil, are not as commonly known. In nature, there is no such thing as white gold. All the gold that is found in the Earth is yellow in color. White gold is created by mixing the gold with an alloy (a mixture of two or more different metals) that usually consists of a mixture of palladium, silver and nickel. For example, 18-karat white gold is made by mixing 75% gold with 25% of other metals. The amount of gold is always going to be the same, it’s the amount of the alloy that changes when determining the fineness of the gold.

Sterling silver is usually stamped “925” which means it’s 925/1000 or 92.5% fine silver mixed with 75/1000 or 7.5% copper. Sterling silver is slightly more grey in color compared to white gold and is lighter in weight. Precious gems such as diamonds, rubies, emeralds, etc. are rarely set in sterling silver jewelry because of the metals softness. Rather, sterling is usually set with semi-precious stones like turquoise, onyx, amethyst, etc.

Nickel silver actually contains no silver at all. It contains nickel, copper and zinc. German silver is another name for nickel silver. The relatively inexpensive cost of nickel silver compared to sterling silver makes it a good option for jewelry components.

Nickel silver jewelry is likely to be costume jewelry that is found in big retail stores, not fine jewelry stores.

Vermeil (pronounced “vehr-MAY”) is a sterling silver piece that has a gold plating over the surface. This process makes the piece of jewelry stronger for a fraction of the cost of a solid gold piece.

This is a small sampling of the many different types of white metals used in jewelry. We have an array of different platinum, white gold and sterling pieces of jewelry waiting to be worn by you! Stop in the store and pick out your next jewelry accessory!

rate at home, Shelly remembered what those folks at Al Anon suggested, and she decided to get some help herself. She started an intensive outpatient program.

Within a month, Shelly was focusing on her own recovery rather than her husband’s lack of it. She started attending AA meetings and learned about a principle called “attraction not promotion.” In other words, for someone to want to be like you, you need to have something they want. She also learned actions speak louder than words.

Shelly went back to Al Anon as well because she knew she not only was addicted to alcohol but also to her husband’s behavior.

It took some time, and even though her husband didn’t stop drinking entirely, the marriage got better, and he came to respect her concerns about his behavior. A year later, their son went into drug rehabilitation.

Shelly found that planting the seed and trusting it to grow was far healthier for her and her family than trying to control something that could not be controlled.

Author Spotlight ELIZABETH HARMON

What’s your book about?

A second-chance romance, “Getting It Back” is the story of former figure skating champion Mikhail “Misha” Zaikov and athletic trainer Amy Shepherd, who agrees to help Misha train for a comeback but is determined not to fall in love with him again.

Where did the idea come from?

“Getting It Back” is the third book in my Red Hot Russians contemporary sports romance series. Misha appeared briefly in the series’ first book, “Pairing Off,” as the hero’s flirtatious friend. Fans of “Pairing Off,” which came out in 2015, will be happy to know its couple, Anton and Carrie, play a big part in this story.

What is your genre and what drew you to it?

I write both contemporary and historical romance, though so far, I’m published in contemporary exclusively. What I love about the romance genre is its optimism. The hero and heroine will go through struggles both within and outside their relationship, but love always triumphs for a happy ending.

Who is the intended audience?

Adults who enjoy a humorous, sexy and romantic story, which has an unusual setting (present-day Russia), and offers a behind the scenes look at life as a competitive figure skater.

Why is this story important to you?

It’s a story about second chances, and not only when it comes to romance. Both Amy and Misha learn forgiving another is the first step to healing.

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

From start to finish, it took almost a year to the day. In October 2014, I gave a presentation at the Crystal Lake Public Library on National Novel Writing Month, and “Getting It Back” was my own NaNoWriMo project. I started it on Nov. 1, 2014, and sent it off to my editor on October

Hometown: Crystal Lake Latest Book: “Getting It Back” Publisher: Carina Press/Harlequin of New York Release Date: April 2016 Available: Digitally from Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other major online retailers, as well as Harlequin.com

9

31, 2015.

Typically I write three drafts of a book, and although I like to discover the story as I go, I’m learning to outline more to cut down on rewriting during the later drafts.

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

The hardest part was the rewrite going from second to third draft. The most enjoyable part was reading the finished draft at the end, and feeling really good about it! It also was fun to revisit the characters and settings from the earlier Red Hot Russians books.

How did you publish and why?

My book is traditionally published, and I was thrilled for my debut series to come out with a Harlequin imprint. For a romance author, that’s a dream come true. My agent knew a Carina editor who was looking for a contemporary romance set in Russia that wasn’t suspense or military. She pitched my first book, “Pairing Off,” a light-hearted story about two pairs figure skaters, as “ ‘The Cutting Edge’ with a Russian twist,” which describes it very well.

In March, I learned “Pairing Off” is a Romance Writers of America Rita Award finalist for Best First Book. The Ritas are the romance genre’s version of the Oscars, so to be nominated is a huge thrill and an honor.

What is your background/education?

I have a bachelor’s degree in advertising from the University of Illinois – Urbana. Since leaving the corporate world when my sons were young, I’ve freelanced for a number of local papers and magazines, including McHenry County Magazine and the Woodstock Independent.

Why did you decide to write a book?

I’ve written fiction since I was a kid, and completed two novels before my first sale. Being a member of Romance Writers of America has taught me a lot about the craft and business of writing. There’s still a lot to learn, but it’s the career I’ve dreamed about most of my life and feel incredibly blessed to be able to do this.

Who are your favorite authors?

Kristin Higgins, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Courtney Milan, plus numerous new authors I’ve met in the past few years.

Pick one: Danielle Steel or John Grisham?

Can’t choose. I like both.

Pick one: Stephen King or Nicholas Sparks?

Stephen King Pick one: Ebooks or hard/paperbacks?

Since my books, and so many other new authors’ are digital, I read a lot of ebooks, but still enjoy print, too.

Tell us more about the other books you’ve written.

I have two Red Hot Russians books out through Carina/HQN. “Pairing Off” came out in February 2015, and “Turning It On” came out in June 2015. Both are available digitally through Amazon, etc.

I’ve also written a historical romance set in Victorian London about an earl’s daughter and a pickpocket who fall in love. I started a sequel to it but put it on the back burner to focus on the Red Hot Russians series.

What’s next for you?

I’m working on a novella that introduces a new contemporary series with another unusual setting. It’s not Russia, but it’s definitely cold. I’d also love to write another Red Hot Russians book and more historical romance.
