Hearing diesel engine noise brings back old memories I like quiet, listening to the birds and crickets.

It’s peaceful, relaxing.

And early in the morning, it is particularly quiet. No one’s up for work yet. No cars driving down the street. No garbage trucks making their rounds.

No dogs barking. All’s quiet.

Until recently. There’s now the steady roar of a diesel engine breaking the silence in the morning and throughout the day on Saturdays and Sundays. We either got a new neighbor or a neighbor got a diesel truck. And its engine roars to the point where you can’t hear yourself think.

I only hear the pickup truck – that’s what I’m assuming it is – because I never see it. It ordinarily does not drive past our house but goes the other way. But the sound is deafening. It ruins the silence. And once it’s broken, it’s all over. The noisy day has begun.

We don’t live in a close-knit neighborhood; we know a few of our neighbors, but people mostly stick to themselves, so I don’t know who has the diesel truck. If I knew him, maybe that would make a difference in the sound.

We used to have neighbors who had Harley-Davidson motorcycles, and they were the worst for breaking the silence. They made the diesel truck sound like the engine of an electric car. They would rumble and roar, taking the corner and driving up the street, shattering the silence. But they eventually moved away – maybe within a year, because suddenly the rumble was gone.

I don’t get the fascination with Harleys and the sound of their engines. The louder, the better. You would think the people riding them would lose their hearing. Maybe they do, which is why they don’t mind the sound. They don’t hear it – they feel it. For those of us without Harleys, it’s just annoying.

Growing up in Donnellson, Iowa, our house was on Main Street, otherwise known at Highway 218. In Iowa, the state roads are called highways.

In Illinois, they are called routes. I’m not sure why, but Route 14 just doesn’t sound right if you call it Highway 14. It doesn’t work. But in Iowa, you switch to highways before the number. Beats me.

Our house was a block and a half north of the intersection of two roads – Highway 218, which runs north and south, and Highway 2, which runs east and west. And at the intersection is a stop sign. Highway 218 was a major trucking route between St. Louis and St. Paul, Minnesota.

The northbound semis, stopped at the fourway, would have to speed up, and they would hit third gear right in front of our house. In the winter, it wasn’t so much of a problem, but in the

WHERE IT’S AT

VIEWS Dick Peterson other seasons, with the windows open, the sound was deafening. If you were watching TV, you could forget about the dialogue until the trucker passed by, only to be replaced by another trucker. It was constant, and it helps me empathize with the people who live in flight patterns under O’Hare International Airport.

It took 20 or 30 years, but the 563-mile Avenue of the Saints was built, linking St. Paul, Minnesota, and St. Louis with four-lane roads. Iowa likes to build bypasses around small towns, and The Avenue of the Saints eventually reached Donnellson, diverting traffic around town on an efficient four-lane highway. Now, The Avenue of the Saints has taken the semi traffic well out of town.

The Avenue of the Saints gives truckers and regular motorists four lanes of highway across the expanse of Iowa.

In Minnesota, the Avenue of the Saints is Interstate 35. No problems there. I always thought that Missouri didn’t uphold its end of the bargain by not building four-lane roads all the way to St. Louis. But, according to the Incredible Internet, that project was completed in 2008, although my most recent map of Missouri shows large expanses of highway that appear to be two-lane. But the state of Missouri insists that the Avenue of the Saints is complete, one of the last portions being constructed was the seven miles from Wayland, Missouri, to the Iowa state line.

Wayland has a special place in my heart, as Mrs. Wayland was my high school freshman English teacher, and the town was named after her family. She was older than dirt and had a mean streak in her, but you have to draw battle lines when dealing with a roomful of ornery freshmen.

Most of the businesses are closed, and the last time I was there, I actually saw a tumbleweed blowing through downtown.

I can imagine now that TV viewing is pretty much uninterrupted by semis at our old house in Donnellson. The only thing you have to worry about now are diesel-engine pickup trucks and Harleys.

MINDFUL OF MOSQUITOES Zika virus threat low in Illinois, but officials warn of West Nile virus

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com Although the upcoming Rio de Janeiro Olympics have put the spread of mosquito-borne Zika virus into the spotlight, local public health officials say residents of northern Illinois remain at low risk for the virus.

The Illinois Department of Public Health is reporting 26 in-state cases of Zika virus, which can cause birth defects for the children of pregnant women as well as milder symptoms such as fever, rash, joint and muscle pain, red eyes and headaches.

Officials said the probability of a local outbreak is slim because the Aedes aegypti mosquito that transmits the

“We have been considerably above normal, temperature-wise, which leads to an increase in Culex mosquitoes. You don’t see that transition normally until July or August.”

George Balis

Regional manager, Clarke Mosquito Control disease is rarely seen in Illinois, cannot survive freezing temperatures and is not expected to become an established population here.

Keri Zaleski, spokeswoman for the McHenry County Department of Health, said the department has received some questions from the disease about the public, but calls have been

limited because educational efforts by the Centers for Disease Control have been strong.

“The education that we do primarily is for people that travel, and we make sure physicians and health care providers have the most current information and guidance,” Zaleski said.

Thus far, all reported cases of Zika

in the continental U.S. have come from travelers returning from countries where the disease is transmitted, including Brazil, Mexico and areas of the Caribbean, Central America and Pacific Islands.

Closer to home, the greater threat is a more familiar one: West Nile virus.

George Balis is the regional manager of Clarke Mosquito Control, which provides services for many McHenry County municipalities. He said the hot, dry start to summer has led to an increase in Culex mosquitoes, which can carry West Nile.

Concealed carry law lays out rights, responsibilities during stops by the police

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com State lawmakers a year ago amended Illinois’ fledgling concealed carry law to help eliminate problems that could arise when a police officer stops a person legally carrying a concealed weapon.

Authorities are investigating a fatal shooting Wednesday of an African-American man by a white police officer during a traffic stop for a broken tail light in a St. Paul, Minnesota, suburb. During the incident, the graphic aftermath of which was videotaped by the man’s girlfriend, the man allegedly was explaining that he had a valid concealed carry permit and was reaching for his wallet.

While saying he was being careful not to rush to judgment regarding that particular case, local firearms and concealed carry instructor Mickey Schuch said permit holders should have a plan for what they will do if pulled over or approached by law enforcement.

“People need to put some thought into how they will behave in that scenario,” Schuch said.

The Illinois State Police-mandated curriculum for the 16-hour Illinois concealed carry course includes a block of instruction regarding what the law says regarding an investigative stop by law enforcement.

The concealed carry law now lays out some extra steps for the safety of both parties – lawmakers amended the law in 2015, a year after concealed carry took effect in Illinois.

Illinois, like Minnesota, does not require people to disclose that they are legally carrying a concealed weapon, or have

A police officer is allowed to safely secure the privately carried firearm for the duration of the stop, or may ask the person to do so. Eemergency services personnel responding to a scene are allowed to do the same. The law requires the permit holder to comply. Law enforcement or emergency services personnel must return the firearm to the permit holder upon the end of the stop if he or she has determined the person is not a threat to anyone present and is physically and mentally capable of possessing it.

Schuch said people with concealed carry permits should talk through their plan and even practice it, no different from practicing shooting at the range. An investigative stop, which is stressful for both the person and the police officer alike, could become even more so if the permit holder gets agitated or says something inappropriate.

“I think if you’re the kind of person who can’t maintain composure during a traffic stop, you shouldn’t be the kind of person who should be walking around with a gun,” Schuch said.

The state police have issued 181,749 active concealed carry permits as of the end of May.

Bicycles were invented in Europe in the early 1800s and introduced in the U.S. around the late 1820s. Cycling became popular in the 1860s using the velocipede (French for bicycle). However, its design – which featured a larger wheel in the front propelled directly by pedals – proved dangerous. Riders often took “headers” over the handlebars. In the 1870s, bicycles with two wheels of equal size, chains and gears were much safer and became quite popular. Bikes were a way to travel to work, make business deliveries, recreate and exercise. They were practical and affordable, especially after the advent of the automobile entering the 20th century. In McHenry County, bikes were in use in the 1890s with a few cycling clubs and races. Today, cycling is a social, competitive, healthy, ecofriendly and charitable activity. Pictured is an unidentified rider heading home after participating in a Crystal Lake Park District race in 1885. Riders from the Illinois Wheelmen will demonstrate their skill on high-wheel bikes this afternoon at the 31st annual Heritage Fair in Union. The Wheelmen is a national, nonprofit organization dedicated to keeping alive the heritage of American cycling, promoting the restoration and riding of early cycles manufactured prior to 1918, and encouraging cycling as part of modern living.

• MOSQUITOES

Continued from page A3 to an increase in Culex mosquitoes,” Balis said. “You don’t see that transition normally until July or August.”

Lake County announced it had identified mosquitoes testing positive for West Nile virus in Highland Park on June 30. Balis said positive samples also had been identified in Cook and DuPage counties.

According to previous Northwest Herald reporting, a Lake in the Hills man became McHenry County’s second human case of West Nile virus in October 2015. Last year, 13 mosquito batches and four birds tested positive for the virus in McHenry County.

The health department said those severely infected with West Nile can suffer symptoms such as headache, high fever, stiff neck, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, paralysis and, in rare cases, death.

Meanwhile, the number of floodwater mosquitoes – the type of mosquitoes most typically associated with bites in the summer – has been down because of the dry start to summer, he said.

Balis said those trends are opposite of what is typically seen in early summer, and Clarke has adjusted its mosquito spraying and monitoring accordingly.

“Sites that might not be inspected or treated until much later are being inspected and treated earlier for Culex mosquitoes,” he said.

To help avoid West Nile virus and mosquito bites in general, officials are offering simple advice.

First and foremost, Balis said, homeowners should regularly dump water out of outdoor containers, which could include potted plants and gutters that might collect rainwater. Culex mosquitoes generally lay eggs in standing water, according to the health

Second, residents should wear mosquito repellents, particularly when mosquitoes are most active between dusk and dawn. The CDC recommends four effective ingredients within repellents: DEET, Picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, and IR3535.

“DEET is the gold standard, but people have preconceived notions about how it smells too bad,” Balis

said. “We always tell people there are different options.”

Other health department tips for avoiding mosquito bites include wearing pants and long-sleeved shirts, avoiding being outdoors during nighttime hours, keeping pools clean and chlorinated, and repairing door and window screens so they are tight-fitting.

Dems select Bartman to replace Jack Franks on ballot

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The Democratic Party of McHenry County has elected John Bartman of Marengo to replace 63rd Illinois House Rep. Jack Franks on the November ballot, party Chairman Michael Bissett said.

The precinct committeemen from the 63rd District met Saturday morning at the Woodstock Public Library, where they unanimously elected Bartman.

Bartman, 38, is a fifth-generation farmer who has been on the McHenry County Farm Bureau Board

for 10 years. He graduated from the University of Dayton with bachelor of arts degree in communication management and is a parishioner at Sacred Heart Catholic Church.

“I’m running for state representative to make Springfield work for the John people again and to bring tax reform Bartman to the hard-working people of McHenry County,” Bartman said.

Bartman will run against Republican challenger Steven Reick for the 63rd District seat. Franks defeated Reick in the 2014 race.

Franks decided to withdraw from the 63rd Legislative District race to run for McHenry County Board chairman instead. He officially withdrew from the race Thursday, after serving nine two-year terms in Springfield.

The 63rd District covers parts of McHenry County, including all or some areas in Marengo, Union, Harvard, Hebron, Johnsburg, Woodstock, McHenry, McCullom Lake, Wonder Lake, Ringwood and Richmond.

Franks faces Republican County Board member Michael Walkup in the race for County Board chairman.

Two other restaurants – Fuddruckers at 1608 S. Randall Road and Texan BBQ at 101 N. Main St. – were sanctioned for first-time violations, both for selling beer to minors in a May 25 check.

As negotiated with police, each restaurant will pay a $1,000 fine and administrative costs and provide BASSET training to the person who sold the beer to an underage person.

Village trustees also encouraged owners of all three establishments to make changes to their procedures to ensure such violations don’t happen again.

ALGONQUIN – Three businesses were sanctioned by the village last week after allegedly failing underage drinking compliance checks by the Algonquin Police Department.

Algonquin Police Chief John Bucci said the compliance checks were con-

hol Sellers and Servers Education and Training (BASSET) program.

Bucci said the penalty for a second offense is normally a $2,000 fee and a two- or four-day suspension of liquor license, but because the store’s owners said they couldn’t afford the financial penalty, he offered a longer suspension of the liquor license.

“I’ve got to tell you, you come back again, you lose your business, at least that part of it,” Village President and Liquor Commissioner John Schmitt said. “Take it seriously, because we do, and we’re not going to put up with it.”

ducted using legal under-21 Illinois licenses. Representatives from all three restaurants said the sales were made because the people selling incorrectly did the math to figure out how old the license-holders were.

Citgo at 609 S. Main St. received the harshest punishment because it was the business’ second offense. Bucci said the cashier at the gas station sold a six-pack of Miller Lite to an underage person May 12.

The station will have its liquor license suspended for 15 days from July 11 to 26, pay legal fees and make both its employees attend a Beverage Alco-

Appeal denied for Woodstock man convicted of rape

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A former Woodstock man convicted of raping women he met on Craigslist and other websites in 2014 will remain in prison after his appeal was denied last week. Charles Oliver was sentenced by Judge Sharon Prather to 36 years in prison.

He was found guilty of criminal sexual assault and unlawful restraint in what was expected to be the first of eight trials. One month later, he pleaded guilty to two additional sex crimes,

and the remaining charges were dropped.

On Friday, the Illinois 2nd District Appellate Court affirmed the judgment of the circuit court of McHenry CounCharles ty, stating that the defenR. Oliver dant was not deprived of a fair trial nor did he receive ineffective legal counsel.

Oliver argued that he was denied a fair trial because the court allowed a statement made by the defendant in which he said, “And he said, ya know,

the girl’s stories are inconsistent but there’s some truth to ‘em, ya know.”

He said that by conveying his attorney’s opinion that there was “some truth” in the witnesses’ stories, it improperly revealed his attorney’s view that Oliver was guilty, according to the appeal.

The court said the admission of the defendant’s statement was not clear or obvious error. The evidence proved that there was “some truth” to the women’s stories, and that was not disputed.

He also argued that he was denied

effective assistance of counsel because his attorney did not seek to redact Oliver’s statement.

The court said Oliver failed to prove that he had ineffective counsel because in order to prove that, the claim must meet the two-part test of Strickland v.

Washington. In order to do so, the defendant must show that his counsel’s performance was deficient because it fell below an objective standard of reasonableness. He must also prove that if not for his attorney’s deficiencies, the results of the case would have been different.

Marengo expected to vote on chain of command ordinance

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com MARENGO – An ordinance brought forward by Mayor Don Lockhart aimed at clarifying the lines of communication between Marengo employees and elected officials is coming before the City Council on Monday.

The Marengo City Council reviewed a draft of the ordinance at the June 13 meeting, and is expected to vote on it at 7 p.m. at Marengo City Hall, 132 E.

Prairie St. The proposed ordinance lays out whom appointed officials and city employees should report to. Alderman Dennis Hammortree said he believes the resolution was made to limit his access to staff – something Lockhart has denied.

City Administrator Gary Boden said the ordinance is meant to improve communication in the city and clarify how city council members reach out to employees.

“These issue come up from time to time, and I think part of it is council members have different ideas and approaches” to how they contact employees, Boden said.

An incident at the wastewater treatment plant in April, when equipment failures led to several permit violations, caused rumors to circulate the community about raw sewage being released from the plant.

Lockhart then asked for an independent third-party review to determine

whether the incident was reported to the appropriate supervisor or department head.

The final report concluded “several unfortunate mistakes and misunderstandings” caused confusion and led to not all staff and council members being notified of the incident at the same time.

The complete updated ordinance, including some amendments made by staff since it was last reviewed, can be found on the city’s website, cityofmarengo.com.

Sometimes, companies need their exact logo replicated; other times, they use Grant to help transform an image from a business card to stitches.

“That’s our job, too,” Grant said. “To help them clean up our logo a little and make it look more professional.”

Aside from embroidery, HyperStitch uses tools including vinyl stickers and a screen press to put customized names, numbers or designs on clothes.

About 10 to 15 percent of the business comes from contract work from businesses that may do graphic design or screen printing, but don’t have the $40,000 embroidery machines, Lawlor said.

Business also comes from the online store, hyperstitch.com, which provides options for individualized products, or for schools, clubs and teams to create a page with apparel for people to purchase.

Lawlor started the business when she was looking for a career change from teaching, and said what’s kept HyperStitch around for 20 years is the dedicated customers.

On the store’s “wall of fame,” letters and photographs hang from thankful customers wearing the apparel HyperStitch created.

“Having fabulous customers, fabulous employees, my day is different every day, and I really like that,” Lawlor said.

MARENGO – Twenty years ago, Pat Lawlor started HyperStitch embroidery business in her Marengo home.

Now the business at 117 W. Prairie St. has five full-time and six parttime employees, and provides custom hats, shirts, mugs, blankets and more to teams, companies and individuals across the country.

The mission of the company is to see the customer’s vision as close as possible for a good value, Lawlor said.

“When they say, ‘Oh, that’s just what I imagined it would be,’ I’m like, ‘Yes, we hit it!’ ” Lawlor said.

And with the showroom, embroiderers, digitizer and screen printer all in one place, mistakes are few, Lawlor said.

“Since all of our work is custom, we tend to not make mistakes because it’s not like some phone bank somewhere that took the order,” she said. “We’re actually here.”

The biggest challenge of the job is completing orders quickly, Lawlor said, and seeing the customer’s vision by using common vocabulary to ask ques-

Coffee Bar opens near Randall and Algonquin roads

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Although he has yet to spend a dollar advertising his new coffee bar, Sang Hong said Daily Projects Coffee Bar has seen a steady stream of business since opening in mid-June.

“Through word of mouth, social media and people taking pictures of our place and our drinks, it seems to

be spreading,” Hong said.

The new coffee shop recently opened at 124 S. Randall Road, just south of Algonquin Road and in the same area as Joe Caputo & Sons Market and Home Depot.

Hong said he and the shop’s other part-owner grew up in Glenview, but saw the vacant space at the busy intersection and had a vision for it.

The shop will be coffee-first, he said, and serve Intelligentsia and

nitro coffee.

He said Daily Projects also will offer tea and smoothies, as well as coffee-infused mock cocktails.

“We’re going to be doing our take on bar beverages and mixing in coffee,” Hong said. “We’re doing our [non-alcoholic] take on the mint julep, but it’s going to be our specialty.”

Thus far, he said the most popular item among customers has been the vanilla cold brew coffee, which is

brewed for 18 hours under cold water.

The shop also will serve food and currently has a soft-opening menu with five sandwiches and a few pastry items. The menu will include easy-to-make items that have gourmet twists, such as a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with homemade jam, Hong said.

The shop also has electrical outlets by every seat for customers working on their computers, he said.

CRYSTAL LAKE – About 190 people, including some from out of state, gathered Saturday for the McHenry County Illinois Genealogy Society 2016 Summer Conference to learn more about genealogy.

The event took place from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the McHenry County College Conference Center, 8900 Route 14, Crystal Lake, with registration starting at 8 a.m.

Several vendors were in attendance to promote their organizations, including the Elgin Genealogical Society, the Chicago Genealogical Society, the Illinois State Genealogical Society, ArkivDigital and HistoryLines. During the conference, some organizations helped attendees figure out information about their ancestors that they may not have known before, such as where their ancestors are from, what years they moved and how many children they had.

Kathy Meade, the northwest representative for ArkivDigital, was at the event to assist people who had a Swedish background.

“This conference is an opportunity to really present the service to Swedish Americans,” Meade said.

“This is a great opportunity to expand awareness.”

Meade also said today’s technology makes finding family history easier than people might think.

“A lot of people don’t know how to do Swedish research, and they don’t realize that they can do it,” Meade said. “So I help do the research at the show to break that brick wall for them.”

The conference also featured numerous sessions in which speakers talked about different topics re-

Crystal Pines hosts Centegra Pink Door fashion show

By SAMANTHA MOORE smoore@shawmedia.com

CRYSTAL LAKE – Crystal Pines Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center and Centegra Pink Door joined forces to host a fashion show for Crystal Pines residents.

The event began Friday afternoon when resident models made their entrance on a runway outlined with red, white and blue in accordance with the event’s veterans appreciation theme. As the 11 models took their turn in the spotlight, they sported clothing donated by Centegra Pink Door.

“This is a community run on volunteers and always has been run on volunteers,” Centegra Pink Door volunteer Deb Oeffling said.

Located in McHenry, Centegra Pink Door offers resale items and is run by volunteers. The facility’s inventory is obtained by donations from the community; it has been open since 1980. Resident outfits for Friday’s fashion show were picked out based on their preferred colors and styles.

“We are so happy to reach out to the community and bring some cheer to these wonderful people,” volunteer Janet Byrnes said.

Before exiting the runway, a brief biography and description of each model’s interests were announced. After the show, residents could keep their new outfits and incorporate them into their wardrobes. For resident model Cecelia Fox, the fashion Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com show seemed like a fun opportunity.

“They asked me and I said, ‘What the heck; why not,?’” Fox said.

In addition to the fashion show, local and resident veterans were honored for their service. The veterans were given the opportunity to share information about themselves, including which branch they served. Veterans, residents and guests alike participated in raffles throughout the show.

WOODSTOCK – McHenry County residents with documents to destroy and batteries to recycle can do both at a July 23 event hosted by the health department.

The event will take place from 8 a.m. to noon at the parking lot of the county Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock.

Only batteries and documents generated by residential use, not business, will be accepted. No other types of waste will be accepted.

Residents can bring AA, AAA, C, D, button cell and 9-volt batteries for recycling. Documents with staples, paper clips, small spiral bindings, cellophane envelope windows, and file folders with small metal pieces are acceptable. All documents will be shredded onsite by a private company.

Organizers are asking that people recycle only paper with confidential or sensitive information, and not magazines or other paper that can be recycled normally.

For information, visit www.mcdh.info, or call Solid Waste Manager Kristy Hecke at 815334-4585.

Knodle said. “So when I saw this conference and the amount of information available, it was amazing.”

Knodle said the most interesting part of the event to him was learning how useful the Internet is for genealogy.

“I’m a pretty tech-savvy guy, but there are so many online resources that I didn’t know about,” Knodle said. “As well as so many social media platforms that I do use but didn’t realize could be used for genealogy.”

of how strict they are about their archives.

Another resourceful session was “Online Resources: Religious Archives and Organizations,” hosted by genealogical author D. Joshua Taylor, who talked about where to look when searching for religious records. One piece of advice Taylor

provided was that a school with a religious affiliation might have the resources people are looking for.

When sessions weren’t being held, attendees could browse items for sale, such as books on genealogy and even some historical maps.

Rockford resident Kerry Knodle, one of the many genealogists who attended the conference, said he learned a lot throughout the day.

“I’ve been doing genealogy research for the last year and a half,”

NEW YORK – Sydney H. Schanberg, a former correspondent for The New York Times awarded a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the genocide in Cambodia in 1975 – and whose story of the survival of his assistant inspired the film “The Killing Fields” – has died. He was 82.

The Times reported Schanberg died Saturday in Poughkeepsie, New York.

The newspaper cited Charles Kaiser, a friend and former Times reporter who said Schanberg had a heart attack on Tuesday.

“Sydney Schanberg was an historic and courageous correspondent,” Dean Baquet, executive editor of The Times, said in a statement. “He was part of a generation of war correspondents who made America understand what was truly happening in Vietnam and Cambodia.”

When Communist guerrillas overran the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh in the spring of 1975, The Times said, Schanberg and his assistant Dith Pran refused pleas by their editors to evacuate.

Schanberg and Dith were briefly captured by the guerrillas, but later fled to the French Embassy. Dith then was expelled and joined civilians fleeing into the countryside. Two weeks later, Schanberg evacuated to Thailand, re-

porting on massacres and the displacement of millions of people along the way.

Dith was not heard from until he escaped to Thailand in 1979.

After being reunited in New York, Schanberg wrote a cover story for The New York Times magazine about Dith’s harrowing experience, which was turned into the 1984 film, “The Killing Fields,” starring Sam Waterston and Dr. Haing S. Ngor as Dith.

The (Carbondale) Southern Illinoisan CARTERVILLE – When Heather Reno assumed the job of Carterville’s top cop on June 29, 2015, the department had been through rough times.

Reno, who spent more than 20 years with Carbondale Police Department and was the department’s highest-ranking female officer, replaced Monty Jeralds as chief after the Carterville City Council voted to demote him Feb. 24, 2015.

“It was very challenging initially.

Change is really hard for people, and the department had to make changes,” Reno said.

The department was in a holding pattern, in part because officers did not know who their boss was going to be or what changes would be made.

“Everyone was understandably anxious,” Reno said.

Reno said it probably took six months for things to settle down and for her to get a feel for the department.

And changes have been made.

The biggest changes in the office have been the addition of technology, including a new electronic records management system. Before moving to the new system, which was implemented this spring, all department records were on paper.

Illinois agency urges foster parents to take in LGBT youth

CHICAGO – Illinois’ child welfare agency is urging more foster parents to take in homeless LGBT youth, describing the situation as a desperate one for thousands of young people.

The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services held a recruitment seminar Saturday to provide prospective foster parents with information about the process. It said it was specifically looking for foster and adoptive families within Chicago’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

The event was held at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Carterville Police Chief Heather Reno pauses in her office June 28 in Carterville. Reno reflected on her first year leading the Carterville department.

For example, if Reno received a request from the Department of Children and Family Services for the number of times officers had been to a home or had contact with a family in the past six months, she had to read through six months of officers’ daily activity logs and arrest records.

“That was really significant,” Reno said. “You don’t think about people operating without technology.”

Officers are getting used to the system, which can store pictures and generate a photo lineup, and allows officers to access information with a couple of clicks of a mouse.

The department used a white board

“We desperately need more adults in the LGBTQ community and allies to help foster our LGBTQ youth in care,” said Jane Kelly, the department’s statewide LGBT coordinator.

“Many of our youth come into care when they are told to leave their homes by their own families because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.”

There are an estimated 25,000 homeless youths in Illinois in any given year, according to the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless and the Illinois Department of Human Service.

Nationally, up to 40 percent of homeless youth identify as LGBT, according to the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.

Woman accused of Facebook threat against police

EVERGREEN PARK – A suburban Chicago woman is accused of posting a threat on

for case communication and information. The drawback was anyone who came to make a police report could see the board. Now, every officer and the department in general has an email address. Reno said information can now be kept confidential, including things such as extra patrols or house watch addresses.

Police said 24-year-old Jenesis Reynolds was arrested Friday at her home in Evergreen Park and charged with disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor.

She’s accused of posting a Facebook message saying, “all I know is if the police stops and request me to get out of the car I’m shooting instantly.”

The Chicago Tribune reported that Reynolds was released on her own recognizance.

A phone listing for her was disconnected or out of service, and it was not immediately clear if she had an attorney who could comment on her behalf.

Another change has been the addition of an assistant chief.

“For months, I did not have an assistant chief. Now I have a competent counterpart who can share administrative duties,” Reno said.

Reno has been surprised by aspects of the job, too.

“The biggest pleasant surprise has been the community support. People walk in and bring us food, or cards from a day care,” Reno said.

Reno is happy that people feel comfortable walking into the department to talk to her.

She has also been surprised by the level of commitment of the people who work for the city of Carterville, saying they will go out of their way to help anybody.

She is also pleased by how well police departments in Williamson County work together. Carbondale is a large, self-sufficient police department.

It was an adjustment for Reno to move to a department that had two officers on duty at a time.

“Everybody takes really good care of each other. They are wonderful,” Reno said.

Pilot critically hurt in Illinois airport ultralight crash

SHERIDAN – Authorities said

a motorized glider has crashed while landing at an airport in northern Illinois, critically injuring the pilot.

Newark Fire Protection District spokesman Earl Thompson said the accident happened Saturday morning at Cushing Field Limited Airport near the Fox River village of Sheridan.

The Chicago Tribune reported that firefighters found an ultralight had crashed on the runway.

Thompson said the pilot initially was trapped in the wreckage. The man was taken to a hospital in Downers Grove after what Thompson described as a “heavy extraction.”

Authorities said the pilot is in his early 60s and is from the western Chicago suburb of Warrenville.

The Federal Aviation Administration and the LaSalle County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the cause of the crash.

Ex-school bus driver sentenced to 5 years for sex abuse

ROCKFORD – A former school bus driver found guilty of sexually abusing two 5-yearold girls in northern Illinois has been sentenced to five years in prison.

The Rockford Register Star reported Friday that 70-yearold Peter Sanchez of Hoffman Estates also will be on mandatory supervised release for two years and will have to register as a sex offender.

Sheriff’s detectives began investigating Sanchez in May 2014 after one of the victims said he abused her on a bus.

Sanchez was a driver for the South Beloit School District at the time.

He drove buses for First Student Bus Co. for about 15 years in the South Beloit, Prairie Hill and other school districts.

NATO boosts aid to nations battling Islamic extremism

By LOLITA C. BALDOR and JOHN-THOR DAHLBURG The Associated Press

WARSAW, Poland – NATO allies agreed Saturday to provide increased military support to countries in the Middle East and North Africa that are targets of Islamic extremism, including using NATO surveillance planes in the fight against the Islamic State group.

Alliance leaders also agreed to launch a new naval mission in the Mediterranean, and made commitments to maintain a stable military presence in Afghanistan and to fund Afghan security forces through 2020.

“We’re moving forward with the most significant reinforcement of our collective defense any time since the Cold War,” U.S. President Barack Obama said at a news conference at the end of a crucial NATO summit in Warsaw.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said NATO will start a training and capacity-building mission for Iraqi armed forces in Iraq, a country he called central in the fight against IS. NATO also is working to establish an intelligence center in Tunisia, a major recruiting ground for IS, and will shortly start providing support to Tunisian special operation forces.

“Today, we have taken decisions to strengthen our partners and to project stability beyond our borders,” Stoltenberg told reporters. He said millions of people in Africa and the Middle East have been rendered “homeless and helpless” by radical organizations like IS and that the extremist groups are also to blame for organizing terrorist attacks in Europe and America.

Obama, who was attending his last NATO summit, called it “a pivotal moment for our alliance.”

“In nearly 70 years of NATO we have perhaps never faced such a range of challenges all at once – security, humanitarian, polit-

ical,” he said. However, he concluded that with the multifaceted efforts being made, “NATO is as strong, as nimble and as ready as ever.”

Stoltenberg said Obama and leaders of the other 27 NATO countries also agreed in principle for alliance surveillance aircraft to provide direct support to the U.S.-led coalition fighting IS in Syria and Iraq. NATO diplomats say they expect flights by alliance AWACS planes to begin this fall and Stoltenberg labeled the move “a clear signal of our resolve to help tackle terrorism.”

He said the alliance will launch a new maritime operation in the Mediterranean called Operation Sea Guardian, whose responsibilities will include counterterrorism. NATO will also cooperate with the European Union’s efforts to shut down human smuggling operations that have fueled Europe’s greatest migrant crisis since World War II. The alliance will also increase cooperation with Jordan, and is preparing to help the new government in Libya design policies and institutions to help it better defend itself against extremist organizations, Stoltenberg said.

“We will provide greater support to our partners, so they can secure their countries and push back against violent extremism,” he said.

Obama had been urging his fellow NATO leaders in Warsaw to expand their support for the war in Afghanistan against the Taliban.

Meanwhile, violence in the U.S. led him to cut his Europe trip short so he can return home Sunday.

The U.S. has pledged to provide $3.5 billion annually to fund Afghan forces, and the government in Kabul is expected to contribute as much as $500 million. Allies would provide the remaining $1 billion. The funding would maintain a total of 352,000 Afghan Army troops and police officers.

Drivers head north Thursday on U.S. 69 into a construction zone in Overland Park, Kan. Kansas and Missouri departments of transportation hope to manage heavy construction seasons by persuading polite Midwesterners to do the “zipper merge.”

“When a rule is being violated by someone else, it frustrates us, it irritates us, it makes us angry,” Hennessy said. “We expect everyone else to follow the rules, and when they don’t and we know they’re getting an advantage, it ticks us off.”

While motorists in other states might be accustomed to using some informal form of the zipper merge, four states have officially championed the technique.

Missouri officials started promoting the idea earlier this year ahead of what was expected to be a heavy road construction season. One of the bigger bot-

tlenecks begins next week, when traffic on Interstate 70 west of Boonville in central Missouri will be reduced to one lane in each direction because of bridge repairs, Silvester said.

While Missouri’s effort mainly is a public relations campaign to change how drivers deal with lane closures, Kansas has taken a more deliberate approach that includes using electronic signs and measuring the pace of traffic flow with Doppler radar. The state will review the results of the pilot project and determine whether it’s worth expanding next year.

Indiana town wonders: Who won $540M jackpot?

By RICK CALLAHAN The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS – Residents of a small Indiana town were abuzz with excitement Saturday after learning that the only winning ticket for a Mega Millions jackpot worth an estimated $540 million was sold at a local gas station.

Dennis Rosebrough, a Hoosier Lottery spokesman, said the winning ticket for Friday’s drawing was sold at a Speedway station along Interstate 70 in Cambridge City, a community of about 2,000 residents 50 miles east of Indianapolis.

A person who answered the phone at that store directed calls to Marathon Petroleum’s corporate headquarters. A spokesman, Brandon Daniels, said the company had no comment.

Mark McCarty, the president of the town council, said he hopes the

He said if the winner is a local it likely won’t take long for word to spread about who it is.

“I’ll be tickled if it’s someone from Cambridge City, or our region, who

won it,” he said, adding, “I’m not the winner, but I wish I was.”

The estimated $540 million jackpot is the third-largest in the history of the Mega Millions game. The winner can take payment of the estimated $540 million as a 30-year annuity or in a onetime lump sum estimated of $380 million, both before taxes.

The winning Mega Millions numbers are white balls 8-19-20-55-73 and yellow ball 5.

Beth Leisure, who heads the local chamber of commerce, said she’s “happy for whoever it is,” even if the winner isn’t from Cambridge City.

Rosebrough said the winner had not stepped forward as of Saturday afternoon and it could be days before the ticket holder claims the jackpot. Under Indiana law, lottery winners’ names are public record once they claim the prize, he said. Rosebrough noted that since the gas station is on a busy high-

way, there’s a decent chance that the person who bought the ticket was just passing through.

“We know the ticket was sold in Indiana, but being on I-70, who knows who bought it?” he said.

Robert Williams, who works at the town’s National Road Antique Mall, said customers were excited Saturday about the news that the ticket was sold locally.

“Everybody’s wondering who it is,” he said. “But everybody’s also been saying, ‘It’s probably somebody not even from around here.’”

The consortium of lottery organizations that runs Mega Millions said an estimated $1 billion in tickets had been sold since the last jackpot-winning ticket was drawn in early March.

This is the longest Mega Millions run without a winner.

Tickets are sold in 43 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Drivers who get angry when other motorists wait until the last possible moment to merge in construction zones need to reconsider their long-held notions of highway courtesy, transportation officials in a growing number of states are concluding.

Transportation departments in Missouri and Kansas have joined Minnesota and Washington in urging drivers to use the “zipper merge” method when approaching lane closures, most often associated with road construction.

Using all available lanes until the last moment, then alternating entry into the open lane, helps reduce accidents by keeping both lanes moving at the same speed, said David Silvester, a Missouri Department of Transportation engineer.

“This isn’t rocket science,” he said.

“It’s easy.”

The goal is to change a mindset among drivers whose first instinct is to get in line as soon as they see a sign warning of closed lanes ahead, Silvester said. For those folks, drivers who buzz past in the lane that is ending and crowd back into line at the last second are considered rude or inconsiderate.

Dwight Hennessy, a psychology professor at Buffalo State College in New York who specializes in traffic psychology, said Midwesterners tend to be polite and follow the rules – even unwritten ones – and get upset when others don’t.

per merge in the early 2000s with something it called “dynamic late merge.”

That system relies on sensors that activate portable electronic signs when traffic is congested and there are lane closures ahead.

The state later changed the name of that method to “active zipper merge” because the term “late merge” had negative connotations, said Ken Johnson, state work zone engineer.

In late 2007, Minnesota tried using a “passive zipper merge” system that uses permanent signs – but no electronic ones – to tell motorists of an upcoming lane reduction and encourage them to use both lanes. That version was slow to catch on, Johnson said, and in 2011 Minnesota transportation officials launched a campaign to educate drivers about how the merge works.

“We’ve struggled for a long time with what to do with merging behavior during lane reductions,” Johnson said.

Two years ago, Washington state began urging drivers to use the zipper merge, and Missouri and Kansas followed this year. Johnson said other states also have contacted his office about Minnesota’s experience with the traffic method.

Zipper merging is a simple concept that kids seem to understand better than some adult drivers, Silvester said.

That point is made in a video MoDOT released last week featuring children reacting to footage of adults using cardboard cars to make a zipper merge.

“When we saw the video, all of us were like, ‘Oh, my gosh, this is perfect,’ ” Silvester said.

Dallas gunman learned tactics at self-defense school

By REESE DUNKLIN and JULIET LINDERMAN

A Dallas police officer receivers flowers Saturday at a roadblock outside their headquarters in Dallas. A peaceful protest, over the recent shootings of black men by police turned violent Thursday night as gunman Micah Johnson shot at officers, killing five and injuring seven others.

The Associated Press

DALLAS – The gunman who killed five police officers at a protest march had practiced military-style drills in his yard and trained at a private self-defense school that teaches special tactics, including “shooting on the move,” a maneuver in which an attacker fires and changes position before firing again.

Micah Johnson, an Army veteran, received instruction at the Academy of Combative Warrior Arts in the Dallas suburb of Richardson about two years ago, said the school’s founder and chief instructor, Justin J. Everman.

Everman’s statement was corroborated by a police report from May 8, 2015, when someone at a business a short distance away called in a report of several suspicious people in a parked SUV. The investigating officer closed the case just minutes after arriving at a strip mall. While there, the officer spoke to Johnson, who said he “had Micah just gotten out of a class Johnson at a nearby self-defense school.”

Johnson told the officer he was “waiting for his dad to arrive” and pick up his brother. No one else was apparently questioned.

On Friday, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings described Johnson as “a mobile shooter” who had written manifestos on how to “shoot and move.”

Authorities have said the 25-year-old gunman kept a journal of combat tactics and had amassed a personal arsenal at his home, including bomb-making materials, rifles and ammunition.

The academy website refers to one of its courses as a “tactical applications program,” or TAP. “Reality is highly dynamic, you will be drawing your firearm, moving, shooting on the move, fixing malfunctions, etc. all under high levels of stress,” the website says. “Most people never get to train these skills as they are not typically allowed on the static gun range.”

The TAP training includes “shooting from different positions,” ‘’drawing under stress” and “drawing from concealment.” Everman declined to specify which classes Johnson took.

“I don’t know anything about Micah.

I’m sorry. He’s gone. He’s old to us. I have thousands of people,” Everman told The Associated Press on Saturday.

The two men, however, were friendly and talked in Facebook conversations in August 2014. Everman knew Johnson had been out of the country. Army officials said he had been deployed in

A Dallas police officer helps tighten security at their headquarters after receiving an anonymous threat against law enforcement across the city Saturday Afghanistan around that time.

Everman suggested that Johnson “let me know when you make it down this way.”

“Will be great to get you back in the academy,” Everman said, according to a comment thread saved by the AP before Johnson’s Facebook profile was taken down.

“I concur!” Johnson replied.

More recently, a neighbor reported to investigators that Johnson had been seen practicing some sort of military drill in his backyard in the Dallas suburb of Mesquite, said Clay Jenkins, the Dallas County judge, the county’s most senior elected official.

Tensions were still high Saturday in Dallas, where 20 square blocks of downtown remained cordoned off as a crime scene. The police department tightened security Saturday evening after receiving an anonymous threat.

Earlier in the day, President Barack Obama called Johnson a “demented in-

dividual” who does not represent black Americans any more than a white man accused of killing blacks at a church in Charleston, South Carolina, represents whites.

“So we cannot let the actions of a few define all of us,” Obama said from Warsaw, Poland, where he attended a NATO summit.

The president planned to visit Dallas in a few days and to convene a White House meeting next week with police officers and community and civil rights activists.

It was the third time in as many days that Obama has spoken about the fatal police shootings of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota that were immediately followed by the sniper attack in Dallas.

Johnson, who donned a protective vest and used a military-style semi-automatic rifle, was killed by a robot-delivered bomb Friday after the shootings, which marked the deadliest day

for U.S. law enforcement since the Sept.

11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

In all, 12 officers were shot just a few blocks from where President John F. Kennedy was slain in 1963.

Johnson was a private first class with a specialty in carpentry and masonry. He served in the Army Reserve for six years starting in 2009 and did one tour in Afghanistan from November 2013 to July 2014, the military said.

The attack began Thursday evening while hundreds of people were gathered to protest the police killings of Philando Castile, who was fatally shot near St. Paul, Minnesota, and Alton Sterling, who was shot in Louisiana after being pinned to the pavement by two white officers.

Video showed protesters marching along a downtown street about half a mile from City Hall when shots erupted and the crowd scattered, seeking cover.

Marcus Carter, 33, was in the area when people started running toward him, yelling about gunshots. Carter said the first shot sounded like a firecracker. But then they proceeded in quick succession, with brief pauses between spurts of gunfire.

“It was breaks in the fire,” he said.

“It was a single shot and then after that single shot, it was a brief pause,” followed by many shots in quick succession.

After shooting at the Dallas officers, Johnson tried to take refuge in a parking garage and exchanged gunfire with police, authorities said.

During negotiations, he said he wanted to exterminate whites, “especially white officers,” the police chief said.

Praise for scrutiny of road expansion

by County Board McHenry County Board members have taken some heat over their handling of Randall Road expansion and improvement plans.

The board voted, 14-8, last week to allocate another $10 million for land acquisition to widen the congested corridor in Lake in the Hills and Algonquin and improve its intersection with Algonquin Road.

For the record But the road to last week’s vote We’d like to see more of the wasn’t an easy one. kind of deliberate debate over Although the the Randall Road expansion project has been on project when it comes to the county’s list of spending taxpayer money. needed improvements for more than a decade, it got delayed in County Board committees this year after several board members began to question the need for it, given its overall price tag of more than $90 million. If the full board doesn’t approve the land acquisition, Randall Road expansion doesn’t happen.

Advocates of the project, particularly officials in Algonquin and Lake in the Hills, say it is vital to the area’s future prosperity. They became frustrated with the delays, as well as the potential that the County Board might kill it altogether.

We can understand that reaction. When you’ve been anticipating progress on such a major project that’s been years in the making and all of a sudden it hits a roadblock, frustration is a natural response.

But we also welcome the pushback of those who questioned the necessity of Randall Road expansion. Almost $100 million in taxpayer money is at stake. That kind of spending should be second-guessed.

Too often, governing bodies approve spending on projects without near enough scrutiny.

It’s not their money, so why not rubber stamp it through?

Although this process was painstaking for some, we’d like to see more of this kind of deliberate debate when it comes to spending taxpayer money. Taxpayers are stretched to the limit, and decisions such as this should never be easy ones.

We urge all elected officials to take every spending decision involving taxpayer dollars just as seriously as the McHenry County Board did in this case.

NORTHWEST HERALD EDITORIAL BOARD:

ANOTHER VIEW

Living in fear of law enforcement For the second time in as many days, Americans were reeling from searing images of a black man dying after being shot by police. On Tuesday, it was Alton Sterling, 37, shot in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, while apparently pinned to the ground by police. On Wednesday, it was Philando Castile, 32, killed in Minnesota during a traffic stop. It has been two years since the death of a black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri. Maybe since then some reforms have been made; maybe some things, in some districts, have improved. But at times like this, the progress seems grievously inadequate.

What will it take to bring about the reforms needed to help prevent these deadly encounters?

How many more graphic videos must be aired?

Those questions take on even more urgency in light of the revelation the pace of fatal shootings by officers has actually risen

in the two years since Michael Brown was shot in Ferguson. An ongoing two-year study by Post reporters found the number of fatal shootings by officers increased from 465 in the first six months of last year to 491 in the same period this year. This year, the reporters found, also saw more officers shot and killed in the line of duty and more officers prosecuted for questionable shootings.

Yes, police work can be dangerous, and at times officers will have to use deadly force to protect themselves and the public.

But what’s been brought home by videos that have captured some of these shootings is how many seemingly might have been avoided. “Please, officer, don’t tell me that you just did this to him. You shot four bullets into him, sir. He was just getting his license and registration, sir,” were the horrified words of the girlfriend of the school cafeteria worker killed Wednesday on a

grisly video she live-streamed after their car was pulled over for a busted taillight.

A White House task force convened after Ferguson called for better training of officers with new tactics aimed at de-escalation of potentially volatile encounters; the FBI promised improvements in the collection of data; and police departments across the country started outfitting officers with body-worn cameras that would hopefully serve as deterrents. But progress has been slow and uneven, with, in some places, resistance.

The Justice Department, which has been asked to investigate both of the latest cases, also needs to take a longer view of what can be done to speed changes across the nation that can prevent more lives from being unnecessarily lost. No law-abiding American should have to live in fear of law enforcement.

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.

Stopgap budget likely will lead to higher taxes The big recent news coming out of Springfield was the passage of a six-month unbalanced spending measure that likely will result in a massive income tax increase that will kill Illinois jobs and hurt families. I voted against the stopgap bill because the Illinois General Assembly needs to cut unnecessary spending, not raise taxes.

The approval of a stopgap measure is nothing more than a continuation of the status quo that has made Illinois insolvent. The stopgap bill is a spending plan, not a real balanced budget. Consider this – about 91 percent of state government spending was on autopilot during the budget stalemate. The state has been spending money at levels that are higher than authorized during Gov. Pat Quinn’s administration. Spending continues to be out of control, especially for public employee pensions and Medicaid.

Enter the stopgap measure. Nothing has really changed. The General Assembly still has not done anything to address the pension crisis

IT’S YOUR WRITE

Don’t be fooled by Republican moves on nepotism in county

To the Editor: Dear Republican voters, the Republican Party is saying they are against nepotism and patronage but they only are picking and choosing to whom they apply this standard. For example, if you go to the McHenry County Human Resources website and look at the list of employees, you will see many with the same name.

We have the Sheriff’s Department with Sandy Salgado, the daughter of Ron Salgado, the investigator of the states attorney who backed Bill Prim in the last election. She makes more than $90,000 and is the Republican chairwoman. Then we have Kathie Schultz’s son, who was working in the county clerk’s office until she retired. He was transferred before she retired to protect him, and his wife also works for the county to the tune of $141,000. Then we have Pam Palmer’s sister with a county job with the county clerk’s office, hired by Kathie Schultz for her good friend the auditor.

If you really want to apply nepotism and patronage to the county, you have to look at the entire situation rather than picking on one office and certain people.

Be careful what the Republican Party

GUEST VIEW David McSweeney facing Illinois. It also still has not done anything to rein in out-of-control state mandatory spending. In fact, the General Assembly has done just the opposite and has doubled down on out-of-control spending.

The state has a backlog of about $8 billion of unpaid bills. That budget deficit is going to grow with the passage of the stopgap bill. We are spending money we do not have and adding to our budget deficit every day that goes by without enacting the kind of reforms that are needed to get our finances in order.

The stopgap bill includes no real reforms or real spending reductions.

In fact, the stopgap package includes up to $625 million of additional money for Chicago Public Schools (CPS) through a combination of up to $375 million of additional state funds for CPS and $250 million of additional

Fun event started Fourth

To the Editor: I would like to say thank you to the pastors, staff and volunteers at Living Grace Community Church in Cary for organizing a fun community event July 1.

Youngsters, teens and parents enjoyed the bouncy castle, popcorn, snow cones and hot dogs before settling in for the fireworks show at Lions Park. They even set up a VIP section for the residents of Three Oaks Assisted Living Center. It was a great event to kick off the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

Manny Popoca achieved the American dream

To the Editor: We have lost a great man who lived as the bridge between the “here and now”

property taxes. The stopgap bill also increases K-12 education funding by $524 million without requiring any of that money be used for property tax relief. Amazingly, the stopgap bill also reduces the funds in the state’s rainy day fund by $275 million.

With the adoption of the stopgap measure, we are ensuring the state’s financial problems will not be addressed anytime soon. Ultimately, we are guaranteeing that the state’s financial health will get much worse.

What does this all mean for us as taxpayers?

What it means is there is likely a massive tax increase headed our way. Some people are supporting the stopgap bill because they know the increased spending is going to get so out of control there will likely be widespread support in the Legislature for a massive tax increase.

In fact, a secret working group has already proposed raising the income tax rate by about 30 percent, to 4.85 percent.

If you think the tax increase would be just limited to income taxes, you would be mistaken. There is talk of the implementation of a tax on additional services and a tax on retirement income of senior citizens in addition to an increase in the state income tax rates.

I opposed the stopgap bill because if we keep spending the way we are right now in Illinois, it is only going to lead to higher taxes, which I strongly oppose. Illinois already is the state with the highest combination of state and local taxes. Do we really need to raise taxes even more in Illinois? The answer, of course, is no.

I will keep fighting to stop tax increases. However, the adoption of the stopgap budget does not make that task any easier. It is the setup for a large-scale tax increase. In the end, the stopgap bill means longterm financial pain and sacrifices for Illinois residents.

By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG The Associated Press

NEW YORK – The idea that grew out of the Great Recession was promising: Let small businesses raise money from individual investors online without all the paperwork that usually accompanies the process of going public.

But investment crowdfunding so far doesn’t appear to be the bonanza for small companies its supporters envisioned back in 2012. Fewer than 50 small businesses have been listed on websites authorized to solicit investors in the companies since the government gave crowdfunding a green light on May 16.

And the average investor has been more cautious in the early going than expected. By some estimates, half the investors are customers or family and friends of the owners – the general public either doesn’t know about investment crowdfunding or is taking a wait-and-see approach.

The 24 companies listed on the investment site Wefunder.com have raised slightly under $3 million, about half the amount co-founder Nick Tommarello expected by this point. So far, the most successful campaigns are those that appeal to individual investors’ interests. The brewer Hops & Grain has 287 investors who have sent in more than $562,000 so far. Veditz, which provides online education for deaf people, has 35 investors who have sent in $19,300.

“It’s going to take time for people to know it’s possible for them to get into it,” Tommarello says, but believes more people are likely to invest as companies advertise their campaigns on social media.

The opportunity grew out of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act. Banks had sharply curtailed their lending to small businesses during the recession, and investors who lost money on

It took four years for the Securities and Exchange Commission to write the complex regulations governing the listing and investing process; for example, the kind of financial information companies must disclose on forms filed with the SEC and available to investors on the crowdfunding websites. Some of the SEC’s biggest concerns involved protecting unsophisticated investors who might not realize that they could lose all or part of their money, says Adam Hull, an attorney with Gardere Wynne Sewell in Dallas who has worked with NextSeed, a website that has three companies seeking investors.

While millions of people have given money to businesses on crowdfunding websites like Kickstarter, Indiegogo

and GoFundMe and often get T-shirts, product samples or other giveaways in return, they are essentially making donations without the expectation of a monetary return that investment crowdfunding carries.

Under the JOBS Act rules aimed at small companies and non-professional investors, companies can raise up to $1 million over 12 months. People can invest as little as $100. They get either equity determined by the company, similar in some ways to buying shares in the stock market, or if the business is seeking debt investors, the opportunity to be repaid at a profit similar to what bond investors get. Companies have 90 days to meet their fundraising goals or must return the money. Some companies set a low minimum to improve their chances of success.

One possible downside for investors is they can’t freely sell their investments.

Companies also don’t have to set a time for when the money would be returned, with or without a profit. And at this point, equity investors don’t have voting rights.

Austin, Texas-based Hops & Grain, which set a goal of $50,000 to $1 million, is selling debt securities to help open a second brewery. It plans to pay investors back what they put in, plus a return equal to that – in effect, eventually doubling their money.

The crowdfunding is cheaper than when Hops & Grain raised money from investors before, owner Josh Hare says.

It spent as much as $50,000 on attorney fees and other costs in the past, while the costs this time have come to about $10,000.

VIEWS Charlie Caufield of-pocket costs of obtaining health insurance coverage.

A qualifying person may choose to receive the credit in advance; however, the actual amount of the Premium Tax Credit (PTC) is determined at the end of the year and is based on the household’s total Modified Adjusted Gross Income and family size.

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

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

In order to receive a Premium Assistance Credit, you must fall within an income bracket that is greater than 100 percent but less than 400 percent of the federal poverty line depending on your family size.

For 2016, the federal poverty line is $11,880 for an individual and $16,020 for a family of two. In order to determine your eligibility for the Premium Assistance Credit, go to www.healthcare.gov and search “poverty guidelines.”

Your income will determine both the excess premium as well as the amount of premium tax credit received or excess advance premium tax credit owed at year end.

Health care exchanges do not have an accurate understanding of your income throughout the year.

Therefore, you should contact your local exchange representative to

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

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

• Charlie Caufield is a CPA with Caufield & Flood in Crystal Lake.

• Sunday, July 10, 2016

When filing your 2015 income tax return, one of two things may have affected the amount that you were refunded or the amount you owed: 1. An increase in taxes owed resulting from receiving an excess of premium assistance throughout the year, or 2. Receipt of Premium Tax Credit (PTC) due to not receiving sufficient government assistance in paying premiums for health insurance purchased over the exchange.

The increased tax liability or tax credit often goes unnoticed until the time of filing your return, and you might have little understanding of why you are paying added tax or receiving a credit.

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

Lower-income individuals might have access to policies through their state health benefit exchanges and may receive a Premium Assistance Credit to help reduce the out-

More salaried workers entitled to overtime Both federal and state law require that overtime be paid to most employees.

One exception is for salaried executive, administrative, and professional (EAP) employees, under the theory that accepting a salary instead of hourly wages for a white-collar job means that some work weeks will be longer than 40 hours.

Under rules established by the U.S. Department of Labor in 2004, employers could pay their salaried white-collar employees as little as $445 per week ($23,660 annually, or $11.13 per hour based on a 40 hour week) and avoid having to pay overtime. Other salaried workers who earned up to $100,000 could still be eligible for overtime even if their duties were not predominantly executive, administrative or professional.

Those limits will be changing soon.

The Department of Labor recently issued a final rule providing that EAP employees will be entitled to overtime unless their salary is $913 per week ($47,476 annually). Other salaried workers may be eligible for overtime if they make under $134,004 annually. This rule will go into effect on Dec. 1, 2016. The Department of Labor has estimated that the increase to $47,476 will affect 4.2 million workers nationally. The rule also provides that the salary limits will automatically increase every three years, through a formula based on the percentile income of salaried workers nationally and in different census regions.

While no changes have been made to the relevant Illinois statutes and regulations, Illinois law incorporates federal law on this point.

As such, the new federal regulations are automatically part of the state overtime law. Local employers will therefore be subject to liability under both the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Illinois Minimum Wage Law for not complying with the new federal rule.

Not all white-collar employees will be subject to the new overtime rules. Doctors, lawyers, and teachers cannot get overtime regardless of

BUSINESS LAW Gregory Barry their salary level. It is also important to note that the employee must be a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional whose duties in those capacities predominate over other duties. Employers should therefore examine all salaries of between $47,476 and $134,004 to ensure that those employees actual tasks – not just their job descriptions – are predominantly white-collar.

More importantly, though, employers will need to calculate at what point it may be worth moving their white collar workers up to the threshold salary of $47,476 to insulate against any claim for unpaid overtime. Any salaries to white-collar employees will need to be increased to $47,476 unless an exemption applies or unless the employer places safeguards against that employee working more than 40 hours in any given week. However, there are trickier cases, too. An employee earning $20 per hour would earn approximately $40,000 per year. If that individual earns overtime in the amount of $10,000 per year, the employer may want to put them on a salary of $48,000, or reduce hours and see if there is a way to get the same work done with other staff.

Fortunately, businesses have five months to make these important decisions, as the new rule does not take effect until Dec. 1, 2016. Any affected business should consult with their accountant, attorney, and human resources staff as to what compensation changes may be needed and how any new compensation structure may affect staffing levels and responsibilities.

invested in good growth stock mutual funds, is to pull from those funds at a rate that is lower than which they are growing. Otherwise, you’ll destroy them, right?

I tell folks if they want to pull off six percent to eight percent – I’m comfortable doing eight percent – then you’ve got to decide exactly how much you want to live on and what that means for your nest egg. If you want to live on $80,000 a year, it means you have to have a $1 million nest egg. If you want to live on $40,000 a year, then you need a half-million dollar nest egg for what we’re talking about here.

To get into that a little bit further, I would advise going to Chris Hogan’s website.

He’s got a tool on there that takes just a few minutes, and it will give you exact numbers on what you need to do. It’s ChrisHogan360.com, and the tool is called the R:IQ – your Retire Inspired Quotient.

You can walk through it, and in just a few minutes you’ll know exactly what’s going on and what needs to happen!

for a large family. Larger families just have more expenses. What does change – and you already knew this – is that it can be a larger financial burden. This isn’t criticism; it’s just a mathematical fact.

When you kick things into overdrive like you folks have done, two things have happened. One, you’ve extended the time that you’re going to be supporting the kids financially.

Two, you’ve got a lot of baby birds to feed and clothe. Unless you have an astronomical income, it slows down the process of hitting financial goals like getting out of debt, because you’ve got a drain on the math side of things.

It’s a wonderful drain; it’s a glorious drain; but mathematically speaking where the money is concerned, it’s still a drain.

You really don’t have any choice but to do a budget. Having seven kids doesn’t give you an excuse to live out of control or mean that living out of control without a plan is the definition of success. You’ve got to set more emergency categories aside in your budget. You’ve got to budget heavier for food, medical, transportation and things like that, because you’ve got more things pulling at you – and your money!

Dear Dave: I make $80,000 a year, and I was wondering if there’s an easy way to determine how much money a person would need to live comfortably after retirement. – John Dear John: A commonsense rule of thumb, if you’ve got your money

Grumpy grandma turns away grandson’s handmade present Dear Abby: I have a 6-year-old son who is a very compassionate child.

My husband’s mother lives with us and recently went through an illness from which she recovered. Twice my son tried to give her a necklace he had made from braided yarn to cheer her up. Abby, she not only refused to accept them, but left them on the floor as if she didn’t even want to touch them.

She has no reason to dislike my son, but she just cannot appreciate the love he was demonstrating.

As Grandma is not likely to change, I wonder how to help him understand his sweet but childish gifts are just not valuable to some people. If I say nothing, I am concerned it will hurt him more in the long run.

Personally, I love the pictures and letters and gifts he makes for me, and so does my mother, who lives

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips far away. It makes me ache to see his compassionate gifts rejected to his face by a family member he loves.

Your thoughts? – Sensitive Mom Of A

Sensitive Boy Dear Sensitive Mom: I only can

imagine how your son felt when his grandmother rejected his gifts. It appears your mother-in-law is one of those who dwells more on the price of things than on their value.

If your son was disappointed by the woman’s reaction, he needs to know “not everyone appreciates creative art.” But assure him you and your mother definitely do, and they are not

only welcomed, but also treasured.

Dear Abby: I have a horrible fear of death, not just my own but especially something happening to my toddler.

It stresses me so badly I have not been away from her for more than two hours in her three years. I’m terrified something will happen and I won’t be there to help her. Because I’ve done this, she will not let me leave the room, let alone the house. Her daddy gets upset she cries to be with me.

I lost my friend and both of my parents within a year, and my daughter was born between the deaths of Mom and Dad. Also, I had cancer as a young adult. I don’t know if this has contributed to my feelings, but I know I’m making myself crazy, and I don’t know how to deal with these thoughts and fears.

I won’t leave my child with anyone

Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County www.bbbsmchenry.org • 815-385-3855

for fear they won’t protect her like I can. How do I get over this so we can get out and function like a normal family? – Paralyzed In Kentucky Dear Paralyzed: While it’s normal for a young child to be dependent upon his or her mother, children also need to know they can trust and depend upon their father to meet their needs.

Your daughter has been deprived of this.

Because in addition to having survived a life-threatening illness you have experienced so much loss, you may need the help of a licensed psychotherapist to get over your fear.

Your physician or your health insurance provider can refer you to one.

HUNTLEY FOOTBALL

Mooney takes over at QB College position for 6-foot-1, 175-pounder still undetermined

By JOHN LAVACCARE

Team dinner after our win tonight to advance to the Championship game tomorrow #4-0 #dcgirlsbball #goingtotheship – @DChargersGBball

What to watch Men’s Soccer: European Championship, Portugal vs. France, 1:30 p.m., ESPN Eight months after a wave of attacks brought death to the streets of Paris, France’s national team takes on Portugal in a European Championship final with more than just a silver trophy at stake.

The stadium hosting Sunday’s final was the first target of the Nov. 13 attacks that killed 130 people in and around Paris.

Three suicide bombers blew themselves up outside the Stade de France, killing a bystander, while France played Germany in a friendly match.

Ahead of Sunday’s game at the same venue, the symbolism has not been lost on a France team that is doing its level best to bring a measure of happiness to a country still mourning its dead.

Speaking out MIAMI – All-Star guard Dwyane Wade said Saturday that he intends to try to find ways to stop racial violence, and that he has friends who are willing to commit to the cause.

“I think this is a worldly thing. This is not just an African-American thing,” said Wade, who will be signing soon with the Bulls. “We all believe in Dwyane Wade one common goal, to stop the violence.”

Two of Wade’s closest friends – Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James – have spoken out on social media in recent days in response to two recent shootings of black men by police officers. Then Thursday in Dallas, five police officers were killed and seven others wounded; one of the suspects allegedly said he was targeting white officers.

Anthony’s message included the words: “There’s NO more sitting back and being afraid of tackling and addressing political issues anymore.”

H

untley junior quarterback Eric Mooney, like many high school quarterbacks, knows the ins and outs of his team’s playbook. But unlike other quarterbacks, Mooney understands the offense so well because he has experience at other offensive skill positions. Mooney spent his first two years at Huntley on the varsity team as a running back and receiver.

“I know the ins and outs of all the routes for the receivers, so if they run it wrong or they don’t run it perfect, I let them know, do this or do that. That’s pretty much it. As for running back, it’s the same. If they run the wrong hole or don’t make the right cut, I’ve been there, I’ve done it. I just teach guys up as much as possible.”

The 6-foot-1, 175-pound athlete recently made a name for himself on the recruiting trail with his speed.

At the Purdue football camp, he ran what he said coaches told him was the fastest 40-yard dash time of anyone at the camp.

Speed is a strong suit for Mooney, but at his new position, he also will have to be an accurate passer. Although Mooney has been throwing consistently since the sixth grade, training for the past few years at the Throw It Deep quarterback academy in Lockport, he has not played an ingame snap under center since he was in eighth grade.

Huntley coach Matt Zimolzak said Mooney has one of the highest GPAs on the team, and he said his intelligence shows on the field, as well.

“He’s been very good in the offseason at learning what his reads are,” Zimolzak said. “I think he’s one of the smartest football players that we’ve had at quarterback in quite some time. He’s able to know the keys, and I think that has a lot to do with his past experience at other skill positions.”

Zimolzak said Mooney is an ideal fit at quarterback for a run-pass option scheme. The first-year Huntley coach, who was formerly the team’s defensive coordinator, said Mooney’s versatility in that scheme could “put

Huntley’s Eric Mooney makes a run against Hampshire on Sept. 19 in Hampshire. After playing receiver and running back for the Red Raiders in his first two seasons, the junior takes over as quarterback this season. defenses in a bind.”

“If he breaks through the line or he finds a gap, he takes advantage of it,” Zimolzak said. “That’s what we’re looking for out of him, is to be able to be that smart football player.

[Mooney] knows that when he’s able to make those gains as a runner, he’ll take those gains, we’ll take that all day. If you’re going to defend the pass, he’ll make you pay on the run.”

Mooney’s versatility and athleticism make him a positionless “athlete” recruit at the college level.

Although he is just starting the recruiting process, Mooney said he already has been asked at college camps to try playing safety, defensive back and linebacker in addition to his high school positions of receiver, running back and quarterback.

“You know, a lot of colleges ask me what I could see Eric playing,”

said Olalere Oladipo, Mooney’s teammate and a 247Sports.com threestar defensive line recruit. “I feel like he can play quarterback if he grows. But also, he’s an athlete, like a lot of guys might be classified as an athlete, and I could see him doing that. He could play running back, slot receiver, probably could play DB also. ... So yeah, he’s an all-around athlete.”

Mooney said he would be comfortable playing any position in college, but for now, he is focused on playing quarterback at Huntley. With the Red Raiders coming off a 10-1 season that ended in a second-round playoff exit, Mooney has lofty goals for his first season under center.

“State is the major goal right now, and that’s what all of us are striving for, with a lot of work, it’s a lot of work to get there,” Mooney said.

“We’ll see what happens, we’ll see how it goes.”

ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino “When I played pro ball, it was a very short career. But I learned so much in just one season. Baseball’s very hard, especially with a full-season team with 140 games or so.

“You have to come in with a new mindset each and every day,” he said. “I can tell them to forget about yesterday. You have to be mentally tough to play this game.”

After his playing career ended, Sopena Nathan Sopena sought out coaching jobs to stay close to the game. “(Last summer), my wife asked me what I wanted to do,” he said. “I told her pro ball is the thing I wanted to get into. I was applying all over and had some interviews. I got this job and it was a dream come true.”

His role as the Chiefs’ fourth coach is a unique one. Only three Midwest League teams, according to Sopena, have the hybrid coach.

“I’m a coach and a scout,” he said.

“I assist the hitting coach, mainly with early work. Then we have pregame batting practice and our groundball routine. I shower up, change and go sit in the stands to create scouting reports on the opposing team.

“Every player that walks on the field, I have to do a report on,” he said.

The role allows Sopena to work closely with Peoria’s players on the field and also evaluate talent around the league.

The Chiefs won the first-half Western Division title with a 40-30 record, in part because of the third-best team batting average and the second-lowest team ERA in the league.

“It’s cool working with these players day in and day out, then being able to go up in the stands,” he said. “You’re seeing baseball from two different sides of the game. When they go 4 for 4 or have a good night on the mound, you feel happy for them because you know how much work and time they put into it.”

Sopena said he is not sure whether he will choose to pursue coaching or scouting in the future because he enjoys both.

What he does know is that he is grateful for a job in pro baseball.

“A lot of my friends complain, ‘I don’t want to go to work,’ ” he said.

“I have not once said that this year. I

love going to the stadium every day. I don’t consider it a job. I’m throwing a baseball around. I’m evaluating talent.

It’s like meditation to me.”

Sopena grew up a Cubs fan, so working for the rival St. Louis organization was an adjustment.

“I’ve been a die-hard Cubs fan my whole life … until I got the call in December,” he said with a laugh. “I went to a Cubs-Cardinals game about two weeks ago. It was great being back in Chicago, but now rooting for the other team.”

Truman honoree: Cary-Grove grad Travis Myerson was one of 29 football players at Division II Truman State University in Missouri to earn Academic All-Conference honors from the Great Lakes Valley Conference last month.

Athletes must have a 3.3 or higher GPA to receive the honor.

Myerson spent last season as a redshirt freshman defensive back.

The Bulldogs (5-6) tied for fourth place in the conference standings last season with a 4-4 record.

Nathan Sopena remembers being an athlete away from home for the first time in life.

“You want to do well in school and with baseball, but you really miss your family,” said Sopena, who started his college career in 2010 at Heartland Community College in Normal.

“Coach (Nate) Metzger helped me a lot. He was like a father figure.”

When Sopena transferred to Eastern Illinois University for the 2012 and 2013 seasons, he found more support in former Panthers coach Jim Schmitz.

“If you ever needed somebody to talk to, he would be the first person to put his arm around you and hear you out,” he said. “To this day, I still talk to them and catch up.”

Three years removed from his college career, Sopena is helping young baseball players transition into a new chapter in their careers.

This season, the Huntley High School graduate is serving as the fourth coach for the Peoria Chiefs, the Single-A Midwest League affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals.

“I just turned 25, so I can relate to them going through their ups and downs,” said Sopena, who spent the 2014 season as an infielder in the Pittsburgh Pirates’ minor league system.

Frazier homers, Quintana wins again

By JEFF ARNOLD For the Sun-Times

CHICAGO – White Sox third baseman Todd Frazier never has been consumed by numbers, especially when they suggest he’s struggling.

Frazier understands he could be perceived as having an off year because of his .215 batting average, but, at least in his mind, he’s not.

And if anyone can understand how Sox left-hander Jose Quintana has been judged because of a sub.500 record that can be largely linked to a lack of run support, it’s Frazier. So perhaps it’s appropriate that Frazier Todd Frazier homered and drove in three runs to back Quintana in a 5-4 win over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday at U.S. Cellular Field.

After his second home run in two days gave the Sox the lead in the second inning, Frazier’s RBI double capped a three-run third that helped Quintana (78) capture his second straight victory.

“I feel stronger, I feel more relaxed, a little quicker swing,” Frazier said.

“For me, it’s hitting good pitches. If I’m swinging outside the zone, I’m going to have some trouble. I feel really good at

ra said of Quintana’s mentality while pitching with a lead. “He’s taken advantage of it.”

Quintana has moved within a win of .500 with the help of nine runs in his past two starts. The Sox had lost eight of his previous nine starts, scoring a total of 10 runs in those defeats. The lack of support might have hurt his case for a spot on the American League All-Star team.

“I think I deserve the All-Star (nod),” Quintana said. “I don’t have control with that. I just try to keep going, do my job, and one time, I can take that opportunity.”

The bullpen made Quintana’s effort stand up. After the Sox failed to capitalize on two Braves errors in the seventh, Zach Duke, Matt Albers and Nate Jones protected a one-run lead.

The Braves loaded the bases with two outs in the ninth on a pair of singles and an intentional walk. But Jones, who worked the ninth for injured closAP photo er David Robertson, got Chase d’ArWhite Sox starter Jose Quintana delivers a pitch in the first inning against the Braves naud to ground out to Frazier at third. on Saturday at U.S. Cellular Field.

WHITE SOX NOTES

Dugout mishap sends Rodon to 15-day DL

By JEFF ARNOLD For the Sun-Times

CHICAGO – White Sox lefthander Carlos Rodon hasn’t had it easy of late.

As if his struggles on the mound haven’t been enough, Rodon sprained his left wrist when he slipped on the dugout steps Friday. He was trying to break his fall on his way out for the national anthem.

The Sox put Rodon on the 15-day disabled list Saturday (retroactive to Wednesday) and recalled righthander Tommy Kahnle from Triple-A Charlotte. Kahnle is 0-1 with a 6.23 ERA in five appearances with the Sox this season. He’s 1-1 with a 3.00 ERA in 23 relief appearances at Charlotte.

Rodon is 2-7 with a 4.50 ERA in 16 starts.

“It’s very frustrating,” Rodon said. “There’s not much you can do.

(It’s) tough. I got my butt whipped by the Yankees (in his last start), then I

slipped coming out of the dugout.”

Manager Robin Ventura said Rodon won’t throw during the All-Star break this week and will miss a start.

“It’s unfortunate,” Ventura said.

“Hopefully, it’s not going to be anything that lingers past these two weeks.

It’s something you deal with, and somebody else is going to have to fill his spot when we start back up after the break.”

Ventura said Rodon probably will have to make a rehab start before he returns.

Rodon, who will wear a brace for the next seven to 10 days, said he hasn’t gotten much grief from his teammates.

“I’m not going to lie, I was a little embarrassed,” he said. “I was like, ‘I hope no one saw that.’ I got out there and was just laughing when the anthem was going on. I came back in and sat down, and I was like, ‘Uh, all right, this kind of hurts a little bit.’

“Bad break, man. There’s nothing you can do. Trust me, I didn’t want this to happen, either.”

Upcoming Sale: Ventura doesn’t know whether Chris Sale will start in the AllStar Game, and he isn’t sure when Sale will make his first start of the second half.

Ventura’s plans changed with Rodon going on the DL Jose Quintana will start the first game after the break, Friday at the Angels.

Asked if Sale could pitch next Sunday, Ventura said, “I think he could – it probably is not going to happen.’’

Sale’s next start figures to come during a three-game series in Seattle that begins July 18.

Closing time: Closer David Robertson won’t pitch until after the All-Star break because of a high strain in his left leg.

Robertson was sore Thursday and wasn’t available to pitch Friday or Saturday. An MRI confirmed a mild strain.

“It’s making it tough to pitch right now because I really can’t move that well,” Robertson said. “It’s a tough break for me, and guys are giving their best to pick up the slack.”

pressive. But just like the pace we were on, we all knew it was not realistic. But at the same time we’ve got to be better.

“That starts with me tonight.”

The most telling numbers to describe the Cubs’ midseason malaise, and their biggest concern into the break?

Take your pick: n Lester, who was 9-3 with a 2.03 ERA and after earning NL Pitcher of the Month for June, hasn’t reached the fourth inning in either of two starts since then – allowing five homers and 13 earned runs in 41/3 innings. n In nine games this month, the Cubs rotation doesn’t have a quality start. n During the Cubs’ 20-game slump, the starters are 3-10 with only six quality starts and a 5.96 ERA – 41 earned runs allowed in 41 innings this month (9.00).

“Terrible. Unacceptable. Letdown,” Lester said when asked to sum up his start. “We all go through times when just like hitters you go through slumps.”

Said Maddon: “We’ve hit a little bit of a snag. My bigger concerned would be if people were actually injured but they’re not. They’re well.

“I really anticipate things are going to be fine.”

Fowler scrubs return for All-Star Game

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

PITTSBURGH – After batting four times as the designated hitter in a minor league rehab game Friday, center fielder Dexter Fowler pulled the plug on his effort to fast-track his return from the disabled list in time to play in Tuesday’s All-Star game.

The Cubs said their leadoff hitter suffered no setback with his hamstring, and that he’ll be re-evaluated after the break, then likely start another rehab assignment.

“He didn’t feel anything other than the fact he knew he could not push it,” said manager Joe Maddon, who added Fowler was sent to Single-A South Bend with instructions to back off if he had any question.

“That’s good because it definitely helps his mind out. He knows exactly where he’s at,” Maddon said. “He made an attempt. He’ll go to the (All-Star) game as an All-Star but not be able to play.”

The potentially bad optics of Fowler

rushing back to be eligible for his first All-Star Game before returning for his struggling team played no role in the decision, Maddon said.

“It would not have bothered me at all if he was well,” Maddon said, “because that would have accelerated him coming back to us on the other side, I thought, and he’d be ready to play by Friday (when the Cubs resume play after the break).

“It’s awkward only based on the timing of Dexter Fowler the whole thing,” Maddon added. “But for me, if in fact he was well and he could have played in that game and then played for us on Friday, I would have taken that.”

Instead, Fowler appears likely to need at least that weekend series for another rehab assignment before returning.

The Cubs were 6-14 through Friday since he went on the disabled list.

But he has a great personality: The Cubs optioned rookie infielder Jeimer Candelario back to Triple-A Iowa and

brought up Munenori Kawasaki for the final two games in Pittsburgh before the break.

The veteran Kawasaki, and his big goofy personality, made an immediate impact in a clubhouse missing injured favorites Fowler and David Ross. Kawasaki joked, clowned, hugged, danced and at one point spent close to a half hour wearing a haz-mat looking facemask (performance enhancing air filter?) while doing otherwise routine chores at his locker.

“One Kawasaki equals Ross plus Fowler?” Maddon mused.

Or at least one slump-busting clubhouse magician?

“And it was a lot more inexpensive and easier to find,” Maddon said.

Notes: Maddon said the Cubs got enough positive feedback from the last evaluation on Jorge Soler’s injured hamstring that the outfielder could be ready for a rehab assignment soon after the break. ... Jason Heyward produced his fourth multi-hit performance Saturday in six games since moving down to the No. 6 spot in the Cubs’ order.

• Sunday, July 10, 2016

PITTSBURGH – The Cubs haven’t been the best team in baseball for more than a month. They’ve had the record to prove it for most of the past week.

And the way the Pirates have clobbered their top two pitchers in Pittsburgh the past two days, the Cubs are starting to reopen the debate over the best team in the National League Central.

The Cubs still have a big lead in the division over both the Pirates (6½ games) and the Cardinals (seven).

But after Saturday’s 12-6 loss – which included All-Star starter Jon Lester blowing two early leads – the Cubs have a season-long five-game losing streak.

And even manager Joe Maddon said, “I feel like we’re fortunate enough to be in that position.”

With one game before the All-Star break, the Cubs have lost 15 of 20. That includes all five games in that stretch against the Cardinals and a Pirates

Jake Arrieta during a game-winning rally in his big league debut.

“We’re fortunate because we got off to such a wonderful start that we’re in this position,” said Maddon, whose Cubs jumped to a 25-6 record and owned the best record in the majors until Tuesday’s loss to the Reds. “You would take this kind of lead going into the break any day of the week, any day of the week.

“It’s just happened,” he said of the recent slump that has included key injuries and a nearly full-rotation slump by the starters. “There’s reasons why it’s happened. I’m not going to lament those reasons. You just deal with it, and you keep coming out and playing hard and working the process. And eventually we’ll go back on a nice streak, postbreak, I really believe that.”

In the meantime, believe this: The starting rotation is a shell of its early-season self.

“It’s just part of baseball. It’s a long season,” said Lester, who kicked himself for an ugly three-inning, threewalk, two-homer start. “It seems like right now every time we make a mistake it’s hit hard. And it seems like early on we couldn’t do anything wrong.

“I’ll be the first to tell you, what we were doing early one was pretty im-

8 BULLS

Hoiberg done trying to dispel his rep

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com LAS VEGAS – Fred Hoiberg knows that perception is still out there.

He can punch all the dry boards and drop all the curse words he wants behind closed doors, but it still is going to follow him around.

The idea that the second-year Bulls coach is somewhat soft on his players started last season – courtesy of Jimmy Butler’s comments in December, thank you very much – and still was alive and well with the start of Summer League play this week in Sin City.

So, of course, when the Bulls added the fiery Rajon Rondo, as well as Dwyane Wade recently, Hoiberg knew his critics instantly would question his ability to coach three players who have their share of diva in them.

And although it bothers him that his kindness can be mistaken for weakness, he’s had enough of trying to ex-

plain himself on that topic.

“Honestly, I don’t think about that stuff,” Hoiberg said Saturday. “I’ve got a job to do, to put the guys on the floor in the best position and win basketball games. That’s all I can do.”

That is all he can do.

How he’s going to do it? Well, let’s call that a work in progress for Hoiberg.

Although Hoiberg couldn’t mention Wade by name until the vetFred Hoiberg eran guard’s two-year, $47.5 million deal is official, he admittedly is trying to figure out how his offense based on decision making and outside shooting can be tweaked to accommodate ball-dominant players such as Wade, Rondo and Jimmy Butler.

Heck, it was clunky with only two last year in Derrick Rose and Butler, and now Hoiberg’s front office has giftwrapped him three players who sink

into hero ball.

“As a staff, we’re in the process of watching a lot of film, going back to how certain teams played when certain players were on the floor,” Hoiberg said, when asked how he planned to make the Bulls offense work. “I played on a team in Minnesota with Kevin Garnett, Latrell Sprewell and Sam Cassell. You had three guys who could go get you a bucket at any time. Depending on what the matchup was, that’s who we went to. It worked.

“It was a little shaky at first. I think we were .500 after 20 games. But once we figured it out, we really took off. The thing I’m really excited with our team next year is the amount of playmakers we’re going to have. That’s what the offense is all about, having guys who can get in the paint and spray it out. We still will try to get as much shooting on the floor as we can. But I’m excited about this team.”

Hoiberg and the Bulls seem to be in

the minority.

What’s nice about Summer League is all the opposing scouts, coaches and players sitting in the stands of the COX Pavilion. The most-asked question by far was, “What are the Bulls doing?”

With good reason.

Both VP of basketball operations John Paxson and general manager Gar Forman insisted they would do everything they could to help Hoiberg grow as a coach, but yet all of these moves seem to stunt his growth.

At least publicly, Hoiberg doesn’t see it that way.

“I think that’s what coaching is all about is to figure out what the best system is based on the talent of your players,” Hoiberg said. “It’s about molding your system and philosophy to who’s going to be on the floor, and, hopefully, play unselfishly. It’s still predicated on ball movement. And, again, if you have multiple playmakers, that helps everybody.”

Valentine just fine sitting, ‘I’ll always be a Heat’: learning from D-Wade Wade reflects on leaving

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com LAS VEGAS – Plan D – as in D-Wade – has changed everything for Denzel Valentine.

When the rookie was drafted out of Michigan State 14th overall last month, there was growing momentum that he could start for the Bulls.

Now? No chance.

The additions of veterans Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade have cemented Valentin firmly on the bench, and he Denzel honestly seemed just Valentine fine with that.

“Because I’m going to be learning from the best of the best,” Valentine said. “I mean D-Wade is probably one of the best shooting guards to ever play the game, so if I can learn from him, you know, my first couple years and see how he gets ready for games, plays games, takes care of his body, just learn the ropes from him, Jimmy, Rondo ... those guys are all phenomenal players.

“They’ve all won championships, so if I can learn from those guys and still play, be in the rotation, that’s the probably the best situation for me.”

Making his Summer League debut Saturday, that learning process was

underway. The Bulls beat the Celtics, 71-62, so that was the good news.

Valentine was an instant leader, and his court vision was on full display.

He grabbed six rebounds and finished with eight points, but shot only 4 for 16 from the field, including 0 for 9 from beyond the 3-point arc.

“My shot wasn’t falling, but other than that, I tried doing all the little things – defend, get some rebounds, add energy to the team, lead, and even if my shot’s not falling, I can bring other things to the floor,” Valentine said. “And with my shot falling, that would just be a bonus.”

Bobby Portis led the Bulls in the victory, scoring 17 points and grabbing 13 rebounds.

Team Jimmy: Coach Fred Hoiberg was staying away from labeling the Bulls “Jimmy Butler’s team.”

“It’s a team sport,” the second-year coach said. “We’re not talking golf or tennis here. We’ve got to have five players on the floor out there meshing together. Jimmy’s one of the top players in the world right now, and I know he’s excited about the moves that we made this offseason.”

What Hoiberg did confirm, however, was Butler has done everything in his power to try to make the Bulls better this offseason, whether it’s been working out with the young players or actively recruiting veteran free agents.

The Associated Press MIAMI – Dwyane Wade still isn’t totally ready to leave Miami.

He felt he had no choice.

The soon-to-be Bulls guard offered his side Saturday of the process that led to the end of his 13 years with the Miami Heat and deciding to play for his hometown team. Wade insisted he has “the utmost respect and admiration” for Heat President Pat Riley – who drafted him in 2003, coached him to his first title in 2006 and now played a role that led to him leaving a franchise that clearly is in transition.

And despite his anger about the breakup, he made clear that he never will bash the Heat or Riley.

“I love Pat Riley,” Wade said. “He’s been someone who’s been a figurehead in my life since I got drafted here at 21. But at the same time, he has a job to do. He has a different hat to wear.

That hat sometimes is not to be my best friend. That hat is to be the president of an organization and to be a businessman. And it sucks. You know somebody so well, you guys love each other, but the business side comes out.

“I’m not saying that we’ve hugged and cried and shed tears at this moment. But I love Pat. And I will always love Pat. And, you know, I know he

feels the same way about me.”

Since Wade announced Wednesday that he’ll sign with the Bulls, he’s felt countless emotions. He went past the arena the Heat call home Friday, blown away by the tribute the team was paying to him on external video screens. He couldn’t believe how many people were lined up to buy merchandise with his name and number on the back. He choked up when he saw the full-page ad the Heat took out for him in South Florida newspapers.

“Moments like this, it sucks,” Wade said. “The business side of the sport, sometimes it just sucks. That’s what we’re dealing with.”

Miami offered just more than $40 million for two years with hopes he stayed.

The Bulls landed him with a contract worth about $47 million for two years.

Wade was in a hotel room in New York when he made the decision to leave Miami, and before long he started seeing the video montages of his Heat career coming across screens.

It seemed funereal.

“They started playing tribute videos and I’ve assumed that’s what it’s going to be like when I’m no longer on this Earth,” Wade said. “That’s what it felt like. It felt like it really was the end of life.

“And I guess in a sense it’s the end of life in Miami – as of now.”

WIMBLEDON

Williams wins, ties Graf’s Slam mark

By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press

LONDON – Serena Williams insisted she was not focused on No. 22.

Said she wouldn’t discuss it.

Kept coming close without quite getting it.

Now she finally has it. And so she can flaunt it.

Williams lifted both arms overhead and raised two fingers on each hand right there on Centre Court to show off the magic number after winning her record-tying 22nd Grand Slam title by beating Angelique Kerber, 7-5, 6-3, Saturday in the Wimbledon final.

“Definitely had some sleepless nights, if I’m just honest, with a lot of stuff,” Williams said. “My goal is to win always at least a Slam a year. It was getting down to the pressure.”

She pulled even with Steffi Graf for the most major championships in the Open era, which began in 1968. Now Williams stands behind only Margaret Court’s all-time mark of 24.

This was Williams’ seventh singles trophy at the All England Club – only Martina Navratilova, with nine, has more in the Open era – and second in a row. The victory at Wimbledon a year ago raised her Grand Slam count to 21, where it remained until Saturday.

“It’s been incredibly difficult not to think about it. I had a couple of tries this year,” said Williams, who went back on court a few hours later to win the doubles title with older sister Venus.

Saturday in London

A look at Day 13 of Wimbledon on Saturday: Women’s singles final: No. 1 Serena Williams of the United States beat No. 4 Angelique Kerber of Germany, 7-5, 6-3.

Men’s doubles final: No. 1 Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut of France beat Julien Benneteau and Edouard Roger-Vasselin of France, 6-4, 7-6 (1), 6-3.

Women’s doubles final: Serena and Venus Williams of the United States beat No. 5 Timea Babos of Hungary and Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan, 6-3, 6-4.

Stat of the Day: 22 – Grand Slam singles titles won by Serena Williams, tying Steffi Graf’s Open-era record Quote of the day: “My goal is to win, always, at least a Slam a year.” – Serena Williams.

Men’s singles final Sunday: No. 2 Andy Murray of Britain vs. No. 6 Milos Raonic of Canada – The Associated Press “But it makes the victory even sweeter to know how hard I worked for it.”

There was a stunning loss to Roberta Vinci in the U.S. Open semifinals in September, ending Williams’ bid for a calendar-year Grand Slam. Then losses in finals to Kerber at the Australian Open, and to Garbine Muguruza at the French Open.

“Time heals,” said Williams’ coach, Patrick Mouratoglou. “By losing, you realize things.”

Gabrielle Douglas reacts after competing on the balance beam during the women’s U.S. Olympic gymnastics trials Friday in San Jose, Calif.

Douglas emphasized the decision was pragmatic, not personal. Gymnasts are allowed one coach on the event floor at the Olympics, and Gallardo – who had been splitting the duties with Carpenter – seemed a more natural fit to handle various responsibilities like spotting her during routines.

Many of Douglas’ peers on the national team, however, still are training with coaches they’ve been with since turning their first back handspring. Douglas has become a bit of a nomad over the last six years, moving from Virginia Beach to Iowa to California then back to Iowa before starting fresh in Columbus. The fact she’s prospered despite near constant change is a testament to her talent, which seems to thrive when the stakes are raised.

Gatlin, Lagat bull their way into Olympics: At Eugene, Oregon, Justin

Gatlin won the 200-meter final at the U.S. Olympic Trials on Saturday, and 41-year-old Bernard Lagat won the 5,000.

Gatlin qualified for his third Olympics, and Lagat is going to the Games for the fifth time.

Gatlin ran the 200 in 19.75 seconds to nudge out LaShawn Merritt by .04.

Also making it was Ameer Webb, who finished ahead of high-schoolers Noah Lyles and Michael Norman.

Joining Lagat at 5,000 meters are Hassan Mead and Paul Chelimo.

Allyson Felix made it through her semifinal and will be in the eight-woman 200-meter final Sunday.

Serena Williams raises the trophy after beating Angelique Kerber of Germany in the women’s singles final in the Wimbledon Tennis Championships on Saturday in London.

SAN JOSE, Calif. – This was not supposed to be part of the story reigning Olympic champion Gabby Douglas had in mind when she set her sights on Rio. A revelation in London four years ago, Douglas figured her bid for another shot at glory would be easy. Hard to blame her considering the way she so effortlessly reached the top of the podium in 2012, a soaring victory that made her a crossover star.

“I came back and said, ‘Yes, this is going to be cake,’ ” Douglas said.

For a stretch last fall and this spring, it was. A silver medal in the all-around at the 2015 world championships showed her return was hardly just vanity run amok. Her professional effort while capturing events in New Jersey and Italy in March stirred inevitable comparisons to her sprint to Olympic gold.

Yet sometime over the past month, the momentum stalled. The Douglas who hopped off the beam in frustration during the first night of Olympic Trials on Friday hardly looked like she was having a good time. Her allaround total of 58.55 puts her seventh heading into Sunday’s finale, when the five-woman team expected to dominate the Summer Games will be announced.

Douglas described her effort as “just OK” when she knows much more is required. Although the Olympic spot that once seemed automatic is still well within reach, the 20-year-old acknowledges the pressure has gotten to her. She figured she would have no trouble handling it when she returned to competition in March 2015.

“I think there’s more expectations now than there were before,” she said.

“I’ve just got to go out there and just do it, not just shy away and test the water. I’ve got to dive in.”

That wasn’t a problem earlier in her career, when her fearlessness made her seem impervious to the stage. But after a so-so effort at national championships in St. Louis two weeks ago – when her fourthplace finish was well behind Simone Biles, Laurie Hernandez and Aly Raisman – Douglas decided to tweak her coaching situation. She made Christian Gallardo her primary coach, a role Kittia Carpenter had been filling since Douglas began training at Buckeye Gymnastics in Columbus, Ohio, two years ago.

Leading at the top of the final climb of the Tour’s second Pyrenean stage, a tough 184-kilometer ride from Pau to Bagneres-de-Luchon, he attacked when least expected on the grueling Col de Peyresourde.

GOLF ROUNDUP

Ko leads U.S. Women’s Open after 3rd round The ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN MARTIN, Calif. – When Lydia Ko first came to a U.S. Women’s Open four years ago, her hands were shaking so much out of nerves. Now with two major titles under her belt by age 19, Ko is able to keep those emotions under control and project a picture of calmness on the golf course.

Ko birdied the 18th hole to cap a 2-under-par 70 in the third round Saturday that put her in Lydia Ko the lead at the U.S. Women’s Open, bolstering her chance for her third major title in less than a year.

“I think nerves are good because it means you’re excited,” Ko said.

“You’re ready. It means a lot to you.

You’ve got to be able to control it. But a little bit of nerves is always good. It can end up being a little bit of adrenaline.”

Whatever Ko is doing is working.

She became the youngest woman to win a major last year at the Evian Championship and followed that up by winning the ANA Inspiration this spring. Now she’s in contention for her first U.S. Open title after failing to make the top 10 in her first four appearances.

Ko has a one-shot lead over 2009 winner Eun Hee Ji and Sung Hyun Park. Brittany Lang and Amy Yang are two shots back at 5 under, and Angela

Stanford is in sixth place at 4 under at CordeValle.

EUROPEAN PGA TOUR Scottish Open: At Inverness, Scot-

land, Alex Noren of Sweden birdied the last two holes to extend his lead to two shots after a third round that ended in heavy rain at the Castle Stuart links.

Noren shot a 4-under 68 to move to 12-under 204, two clear of Tyrrell Hatton of England (66) and Matteo Manassero of Italy (68).

The top 15 players are separated by six shots in the last event before the British Open at Royal Troon next week. With the weather turning nasty for the final few hours of the third round, this could be good preparation for the third major of the year.

CHAMPIONS TOUR Dick’s Sporting Goods Open: At End-

icott, New York, John Riegger wasn’t sure he’d be able to play the second round because of a lingering case of shingles. The pain subsided long enough for him to show his first round wasn’t a fluke.

Riegger followed his opening 66 with a 5-under 67 and is tied with Paul Goydos (66) for the lead at 11-under 133.

First-round leader Scott Dunlap (70) was third at 10 under. Wes Short Jr. and Monday qualifier Neal Lancaster also shot 66 and shared fourth, another shot back at En-Joie Golf Club.

SPARTA, Ky. – Brad Keselowski became the first three-time winner at Kentucky Speedway on Saturday night, overtaking Kevin Harvick on lap 201 and holding on for the Sprint Cup Series victory.

Matt Kenseth grabbed the lead with six laps remaining but soon pitted for fuel to hand the top spot back to Keselowski, who had just enough gas in reserve to edge Carl Edwards by .175 seconds in a tense finish for the 400mile race. Keselowski’s tank eventually ran dry and he needed a tow truck

to victory lane.

Ryan Newman was third, followed

by Kurt Busch and then Tony Stewart in fifth in his final Kentucky race. The three-time series champion is retiring after this season.

Keselowski led 75 laps on his way to his second straight win and series-best fourth of the season. His latest triumph on the 1.5 mile tri-oval might have been his most impressive in terms of strategy.

The Penske Racing driver pitted just four times and made the most of his gas tank down to the last drop, withstanding one last charge from Edwards.

Used to be, cookouts meant burgers and dogs. Ketchup and mustard. It was a tradition about as summery and American as fresh-cut green lawns and baseball. Today, with the rise of the foodie, the millennial and the median household income, grilling is decidedly something more.

“It’s a legitimate hobby,” says Elizabeth Karmel, owner of Carolina Cue To-Go and former executive chef at Hill Country Barbecue Market in the District and New York. “It’s probably the most talked-about indigenous American way of cooking.”

Household chefs are experimenting with the types of food they grill – watermelon, eggplant, even oysters and mussels. They’re developing spice rubs and buying more than one type of grill. Die-hards are even designing outdoor kitchens. For one Northern Virginia project, Charlene Kennerknecht and her partner, Arch Williams, created a “grotto,” a cabana-like structure over a kitchen, dining room and living room in one.

Clients are even asking for outdoor TVs, bar seating and fire pits, as alfresco entertaining becomes the activity of summer.

Maybe you don’t know how to get started, though. First decide whether you’re a gas or charcoal griller. For taste and convenience, Karmel says, “gas cannot be beat.” But “charcoal is a lot of fun when you have more time to be hands-on.”

Then, what to eat? Heed Karmel’s mantra: If you can eat it, then you can grill it. Put the food on, and as entertaining expert Susan Spungen says, “When the party starts, be in it.”

The only real mistake you can make is calling hot dogs “barbecue,” because, as Southerners are quick to tell you, it’s only barbecue if it’s cooked low and slow. Anything else is simply “grilling out” – not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Consumer Reports gives high marks to the Better Homes and Gardens stainless-steel four-burner gas grill with side burner, which preheats well and cooks evenly ($248, walmart.com). The burger capacity is 32 – just right for an eager crowd. For all grills, Consumer Reports recommends you look for seamless construction and welded joints and even jostle the grill to make sure it’s steady before buying.

New from Coyote Outdoor Living is the Asado freestanding ceramic grill, a kamado-style smoker that’s a centuries-old Japanese design – made popular again

by Big Green Egg. The Asado burns wood chips or charcoal, has a grate with wide openings for direct-heat cooking and searing, and includes a cart with fold-down shelves ($1,199, bbqguys.com).

A good pair of tongs is a grilling essential. OXO’s 12-inch tongs are the perfect size, Karmel said – any longer and you lose control ($13, oxo.com). Karmel’s other must-have tools: an angled basting brush, a brass-bristle cleaning brush and an instant-read meat thermometer.

Karmel, who once taught Martha Stewart how to cook a beer-can chicken, says that all you need for delicious grilling is a knowledge of direct and indirect heat, plus three ingredients: kosher salt, pepper and a good-quality olive oil. These corn salt and pepper shakers are a wink at a favorite American grilled treat, corn on the cob ($6, crateandbarrel.com).

These acacia-wood and stainless-steel corn holders by German makers Schmidt Brothers are as much a step up from plastic holders of past as grass-fed beef is over conventional ($16 for a set of four pairs, gracioushome.com).

EnvironmentTip Plan children’s birthdays with an eco spin

Birthdays parties can be labor-intensive, so reaching for disposable goods can be easy. But an environmentally friendly birthday party? It can be done. Here are some ideas.

First, send eco-friendly invitations. Make your own out of what

you have in your home, or send something original by email or on Evite.com. If you must use paper, buy ones made from recycled paper. In your invitation, challenge your guests to get creative by not buying gift wrap, but reusing something instead.

Instead of presents, ask each

person to bring a donation for a local charity, such as a pet shelter or food pantry. Some pantries even take toys for those who can’t afford gifts. Theme the party around saving an animal or raising money for a cause near to your heart.

Instead of receiving gifts for yourself, ask for gifts to help those

in need. Take time to celebrate a good deed with friends, and your real birthday present will turn out to be goodwill and a feeling of contributing to your community and world.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Local restaurant 1776 celebrated its 25th anniversary in June and has earned its gift, a Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence.

Wine Spectator, a monthly magazine that reviews more than 15,000 wines a year, analyzes presented wine lists based on multiple factors, including assortment and pairing with the facility’s menu.

Owner Andy Andresky estimates about 350 wines appear on the restaurant’s wine list. The list, featuring an original taste classification, is not new to the award.

In fact, 1776 has been a recipient of the Award of Excellence every year since 1995.

After 25 years of operation, Andresky has noticed changes in his restaurant. Most drastically, about eight years ago, he switched to buying local, organic and sustainable ingredients.

“I think making the transition from buying in bulk to things like this has really changed how we do business,” Andresky said.

Although 1776 has undergone this alteration, Andresky acknowledges similarities between his restaurant when it first opened and his restaurant today. In addition to multiple members of his staff being original employees, 1776 still maintains its traditional food values.

“We’re still old-school,” Andres-

In celebration of its anniversary, 1776 is rolling back menu prices to

those established when the restaurant opened in 1990. Six plates have been recreated, including the “Blue Moo” Sirloin Beefsteak and the Crab

Cake Dinner. The price reduction began June 27, and patrons can enjoy meals at these rates through the month of July.

Woodstock Wedding Network to host bridal garage sale NORTHWEST HERALD The Woodstock Wedding Network started hosting wedding garage sales last fall, but the events to help newlyweds sell their wedding items quickly outgrew the group’s space at The Wedding Center on the Square in Woodstock, with lines around the block ahead of each sale.

Expecting their biggest sale ever, the group will host its next event from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Hotel & Banquets, 495 Airport Road, Elgin.

Admission is $5 a person, and children 12 and younger are free.

The event also is a service to future brides, said group President Dana Brandt, because they can get inspiration and find wedding decor, serving items even dresses at low prices.

“The brides are pricing the stuff to go, because nine out of 10 times

Area brides participate in a Bridal Flash Mob during a recent Woodstock Wedding Network Wedding Walk on the Woodstock Square. it’s been sitting in their garage or basement for nine months to a year,” Brandt said. “Brides get sentimental right after the wedding, but then they move or have a baby or realize it’s not feasible to hang on to 200 plate charges

or their old card boxes.”

The Facebook event page for the sale has 1,700 people interested in attending the event, so Brandt recommended brides get there early with a game plan for what they are looking for.

Woodstock Wedding Network also has three more events in the works. An afternoon of bridal glam from noon to 3 p.m. July 17 at The Waverly Ballroom, 214 Main St, Woodstock, a free event set up like a trunk show for gowns, jewelry and head pieces, as well as hair and makeup tutorials, wedding cake samples and prizes. The next wedding garage sale will be Oct. 2 at D’Andrea Banquets, 4419 Route 14, Crystal Lake.

Its biggest event of the year, the Wedding Expo, will be Jan. 22 at McHenry County College. The expo will feature more than 50 wedding professionals, prizes, samples, tastings, giveaways and demos. Brandt said up to 800 people attend the free event each year. Registration starts in November, or brides can register at the door.

For information on the garage sale or other events, visit www.woodstockweddingnetwork.com.

A professional nomad, Presser makes ‘travel magic happen’ on Bravo

By ALICIA RANCILIO The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Brandon Presser, a writer who has written more than 50 travel books, says there’s a difference between being a traveler and a tourist.

A tourist might head out for a tropical vacation and never leave the hotel pool, whereas a traveler seeks to immerse themselves in the local culture, food and trade of the people who live there.

In the Bravo docu-series, “Tour Group,” which ended its first season last week, Presser, with the help of two other tour guides, introduced 11 strangers to the art of traveling, as they jetted set across the globe to locations such as the Maldives, Japan and Kenya with cameras in tow.

His expertise was crucial to the show. For Presser, the real work began three months before the trip where he was on the phone with the show’s producers “every day for eight hours a day talking through every step” like where to go, flight routes and getting visas. He also insisted on speaking to his travelers ahead of time to get an idea for their personal stories and goals for the trip. That way he “could embed the trip with experiences that are tailor-made for them.”

Presser said, looking back, his role was comprised of “50 different things,” from “herding cats” to being a therapist. Mostly he said he was the guy who would “make travel magic happen.”

Presser’s flying tips Pack smart: “I pack pretty methodically for a long flight in my carry-on. I have a kit that has everything that you would want, eye drops, Advil, moisturizer.”

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate: “I drink a ton of water, mostly because it gets you up to go to the bathroom and you stretch your legs. Drinking a lot of water really helps. And drinking way more than you think. Way more. Have you seen what an empty [water] bottle looks like at the end of a flight? All crumpled? That’s what flying does to your insides. If you’re like, ‘Oh, I’ve had a liter of water. I’m fine.’ No, no, no.

Drink two.”

Avoid alcohol: “Don’t drink alcohol on a flight. I mean, it’s fun but it really does damage. I find that I bounce back a lot quicker than everyone else because I follow these very simple things.”

Skip the sleeping pill: “I never take sleeping pills on a flight, ever, just in case I need to be lucid. Take a sleeping pill when you get there and get checked into the hotel and it’s really time to go to bed.”

“I would stay up all night and think about my traveler’s well-being – and think, ‘God, I really hope that soand-so really loves what we’re doing tomorrow.’ ”

LOS ANGELES – Having an 80-pound Labradoodle as a travel buddy means B.L. Ochman quickly can separate the hotels that love dogs from those that just put up with them.

A bed-and-breakfast she visited north of New York City wouldn’t let her pooch Benny trot around in the main house, among other troubles.

Ochman, a Manhattan Internet strategist, since has discovered Audrey’s Farmhouse, a B&B in Wallkill, New York, that caters to dogs and doesn’t charge pet fees that can top hundreds of dollars.

“Dog-friendly means your dog is welcome,” she said. “If the dog is welcome, he shouldn’t cost extra money.

Of course, I am a dog owner, not an innkeeper.”

Hotels ranging from major chains to small outposts are capitalizing on the wave of travelers who bring along their dogs, some by charging for perks that pamper pets and others by expanding fees. What started as a basic, one-time pet fee has blossomed into a per-night charge at many places and costs that can total hundreds.

Some properties offer amenities from patches of grass to chew toys, designer bowls and in-room massages – usually for an additional price – while others simply levy cleaning fees, whether your dog makes a mess or not. Those hotels often don’t offer extras or permission for pooches over a certain weight, locking out larger pets such as Ochman’s.

“There is a huge difference between pet-tolerant and pet-welcoming,” said Carol Bryant, a pet industry public relations strategist from Forty Fort, Pennsylvania.

She’s been traveling with dogs for decades and says hotels that simply tolerate animals don’t offer services.

Perks such as organic treats usually cost more, but “I never forget when businesses extend themselves to my dog,” Bryant said. “Does my dog know? Probably not, but I do. And I do the spending.”

Hotels charge a range of prices for pets. More than 120 DoubleTree

by Hilton hotels in the U.S. charge a maximum $75 nonrefundable fee used for cleaning, said Maggie Giddens, director of public relations for the hotels.

Many chains charge differently by city. In San Francisco, flat fees are common, with the Radisson charging $75; the Marriott, $50 to $100; Holiday Inn, $75; and the Hyatt, $100, according to petswelcome.com, a pet travel services website. But the InterContinental requires $50 a night there.

Many properties have no fees, including Motel 6, Studio 6, Red Roof Inn, La Quinta and Kimpton, which has 67 hotels nationwide, said Cindy Dahlen, marketing director for New York-based petswelcome.com. Others charge per night, including Rodeway Inn and Westin hotels at $10-$15; Best Western and Travelodge at $20; and Extended Stay America at $25.

Bryant said the highest fee she’s faced was a one-time $250 cleaning charge at the Trump SoHo New York.

Dogs staying at the luxury hotel also have to be under 25 pounds.

For Ochman, bed-and-breakfasts beat out hotels, because they’re more distinctive and usually have fewer restrictions on pets.

“People approach travel in different ways,” she said. “We are just looking for a pretty place where we can relax and take the dogs.”

The sun rises over Oahu’s Hanauma Bay near Honolulu. Hanauma Bay is No. 1 on the list of best beaches for the summer of 2016 compiled

by Stephen Leatherman, also known as Dr. Beach, a professor at Florida International University.

Beachy-keen

Dr. Beach names best beaches in America to visit, topped by Hawaii’s Hanauma Bay

By CALEB JONES

The Associated Press HONOLULU – When you come upon an ocean bay that has features known as “Toilet Bowl” and “Witch’s Brew,” you may not envision a welcoming tropical oasis. But Hawaii’s Hanauma Bay, nestled inside a breeched volcanic cone on the southeastern shore of Oahu, has some of the state’s calmest waters, most pristine beaches and world-renowned snorkeling over coral reefs that teem with colorful fish.

For the second year in a row, a beach in Hawaii has been selected as the best beach in America by a Florida professor who’s made a career ranking and studying beaches around the country. This year’s top spot goes to Hanauma Bay, a picturesque nature reserve with gin-clear, turquoise water and abundant sea life.

Florida International University professor Stephen Leatherman, also known as Dr. Beach, uses about 50 criteria to assess and rank beaches across the country. In recent years, he has giv-

TOP TEN 1. Hanauma Bay, Oahu, Hawaii 2. Siesta Beach, Sarasota, Florida 3. Kapalua Bay Beach, Maui, Hawaii 4. Ocracoke Lifeguarded Beach, Outer Banks of North Carolina 5. Coast Guard Beach, Cape Cod, Massachusetts 6. Grayton Beach State Park, Florida Panhandle 7. Coronado Beach, San Diego, California 8. Coopers Beach, Southampton, New York 9. Caladesi Island State Park, Dunedin/ Clearwater, Florida 10. Beachwalker Park, Kiawah Island, South Carolina en extra points to beaches that prohibit smoking, saying cigarette butts are not only environmentally damaging, but can ruin the experience for beach-goers. Safety and environmental management are other major factors, he said.

“It’s so safe and easy. A lot of times if you want to see those kinds of fish

you’ve got to go offshore, you’ve got to go take a boat ride somewhere,” Leatherman said. “I’ve never seen so many fish swimming around your feet.”

Hanauma Bay became a marine life conservation area and underwater park in 1967. In 1990, local officials formulated a plan to better protect the area. All first-time visitors who come to the popular snorkeling spot are required to watch an informational video that teaches them about preservation and conservation, as well as the safety rules for the bay. It’s against the law to mistreat any marine life in the bay, and visitors are not allowed to touch or walk on the coral reefs.

Now in his 25th year of ranking beaches, Leatherman has reset the list and allowed all beaches to be eligible for the top spot in 2016. Until now, any beach that won previously had been disqualified for another win, and Hanauma Bay won the honor about a decade ago, Leatherman said.

“It’s one of the most unique beaches in the world, there’s no doubt about that,” he said.

My husband and I have vacationed at the beach in Rehoboth, Delaware, with our dogs for many years. We always stayed at a pet-friendly inn, except for one weekend at a condo.

Nobody told us to bring our own bedsheets and towels, though, so an emergency shopping trip was needed before we could go to sleep.

Here’s what I’ve since learned, with the help of friends who’ve done this a lot.

Linens: “Bring towels” seems obvious, but there were a couple things I wouldn’t have thought of: Kitchen towels for drying your hands are nice, and bring your own pillow if you’re fussy about that sort of thing.

Kitchen supplies: You’ll probably have plates, cups, glasses and cutlery, but if you’re going to cook, a lot of things that seem basic such as chef knives may not be available. Pasta seems like a simple vacation meal, but you may need to bring a colander.

And while our house had a grill, there were no implements for cooking on it. Potholders also are something so basic you don’t think about them, but they might not be in the kitchen.

Groceries: The kitchen likely will have some kind of coffee maker, but ask what kind. We brought ground coffee then had to go buy Keurig cups. Serious vacation house cooks recommended planning menus in advance because you can’t count on more than maybe salt and pepper in the kitchen. Bringing foil, plastic wrap or containers for leftovers also might save you some frustration. Our kitchen had plastic containers but no lids.

Bathroom and cleaning: We were told to bring paper goods, so we packed toilet paper, paper towels and tissues. Previous guests had left some of each, so we left ours to pay it forward, but you may not be so lucky, so at least don’t forget the TP. Consider bringing dish soap, laundry soap and maybe a cleaning spray.

Remember you won’t have a maid coming in daily.

New destination

Summer-camp weddings offer nostalgia, outdoor adventure

By TRACEE M. HERBAUGH The Associated Press

Hiking boots, bug spray, long underwear – not your typical packing list for a wedding.

Unless it’s a summer-camp wedding, a hot new twist on the destination wedding. Such nuptials are increasingly popular, wedding planners say, and offer a mix of nostalgia and adventure.

“I was never that girl who grew up dreaming about her wedding dress, about her wedding day,” said Lorelle Binder, who got married last year at Camp Highlander in Horse Shoe, North Carolina.

Instead of engaging in the quintessential hotel or ballroom revelry, Binder’s guests spent the weekend doing traditional camp activities, including a color war.

“Everyone there was able to relive their childhood, and that was something we could give to our guests,” Binder said.

There are many reasons for the summer-camp wedding, but couples often choose it because they love the outdoors.

“It’s one of the newer trends, and I don’t think it’s going anywhere,” said Tonia Adleta, a Philadelphia wedding planner.

Destination weddings accounted for 1 out of every 4 nuptial ceremonies, according to a 2014 report from The Knot, which studies industry trends. Summer-camp weddings can capture the same appeal as a far-flung destination, but in a low-key and often lowcost way.

“What happens is that the wedding weekend turns into a family reunion, or it’s a time for the families from both sides to really get to know each other,” said Drew Taylor, who co-owns the 120-acre Kingsley Pines Camp in Raymond, Maine.

Taylor said the camp has hosted about 10 weddings a year in recent years, and the number has been growing.

Extended families typically “come in on Friday and stay all weekend,” she said.

“Their meals and activities are provided.”

David Blacker, who got married in 2009 at a camp called Club Getaway in Kent, Connecticut, said he saved money: “The cabin was a fraction of the price a hotel would have been.”

For many couples, a camp wedding simply sounds like fun.

“We weren’t sure people were going to be game for this – showering in a public shower and all,” said Alison Bartolone, who got married at Sheldon Calvary Camp in Conneaut, Ohio, in 2013. But her guests “were enthusiastic and had a lot of fun with it,” she said. One group even broke into the camp’s costume closet one evening.

“It was old-school fun,” Bartolone said.

Mandee and Thor Morgan, who now live in Denver, met while working as counselors at Camp Highlander. They got married at the camp for sentimental reasons, and also be-

Alison and her husband Sam Bartolone were married at Sheldon Calvary Camp. cause it let them incorporate their outdoorsy lifestyle into the big day.

“The biggest draw for us was that it wouldn’t be a quick night when we wouldn’t get to see anyone for more than a couple seconds,” Thor Morgan said. “It was a long weekend where people could do activities they had never done before and all in an outdoors setting.”

A summer camp also can offer some relief from the typical pre-wedding frenzy.

“What camp allowed us to do was to forget about the little tiny details, such as the table settings, signs, lighting, and focus more on our friends, family and the beauty of Maine,” said Emily Tong, who married Cory Elowe in 2014 at Camp-O-At-Ka in Sebago, Maine.

Of course, camp weddings aren’t for everyone. Bad weather can cast a pall, especially if you insist on wearing stiletto heels through the mud.

“If you’re the type of couple that wants to be at the Ritz or the Four Seasons, a camp wedding is definitely not going to work for you,” said Adleta. “It’s a completely different animal.”

Whether designing with flowers for a huge formal event or a small casual affair, the trend is toward a more wild and natural look, said floral designer Ariella Chezar of the FlowerSchool in New York.

That can include blooms, branches, fruit and foraged materials, such as rosemary and jasmine, she said. And the best place to start is with your local flower farmer or farmer’s market.

“It’s important to consider the setting before deciding on the arrangement. Mason jars are great, but they wouldn’t work at the Waldorf,” said Chezar, who has designed floral arrangements for hundreds of weddings as well as for the White House. She is co-author with Julie Michaels of the new “The Flower Workshop” (Ten Speed Press, March 2016), which has tips on everything from textures and colors to foliage and containers. It includes step-by-step instructions for more than 45 floral projects.

Another important factor in selecting flowers and arrangements is which colors suit the bride, Chezar said.

But the most crucial element is finding out what flowers are in season in the vicinity of the wedding, said Chezar, who also is a flower grower.

“About 80 percent of the flowers used in the U.S. come from abroad, and there’s a real interest now in using locally grown flowers,” she said. “Just as there is a ‘slow food’ movement, there is also a ‘slow flowers’ movement,” and local or foraged varieties are “very much the look du jour pretty much anywhere you go.”

Slowflowers.com is a directory of over 700 flower growers in every state except North Dakota, she said.

Debra Prinzing of Seattle, who launched the site two years ago, said: “Farmers who sell to the public are an incredibly useful resource for brides, a real repository of knowledge. And the ethos of local, or at least U.S. sourcing is something brides really want these days.”

She wrote the tag for the bride as a way to personalize the connection between celebration flowers and the local farmers who grew each bloom.

McHenry Bridal Group sets expo NORTHWEST HERALD The McHenry Bridal Group will host its annual Northern Illinois Weddings and Events Show from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Sept. 14 at The Gardens of Woodstock, 5211 Swanson Road, Woodstock.

The event, held twice a year, features about 30 vendors and usually attracts 75 brides and their wedding parties, said Chris Oppasser of Country Inn and Suites in Crystal Lake and chair of the event. She said the smaller expo gives brides more personal attention.

“You don’t feel like you’re getting pushed along,” Oppasser said. “It’s smaller, so we can spend more time with the brides, and they can learn more about our services and what we offer. … I’ve seen people sit with some of our florists for 45 minutes before.”

Oppasser said in addition to the samples and shopping, brides can expect more giveaways and cash prizes this year, in addition to the grand prize – a $500 gift card to use with the McHenry Bridal Group vendor of the bride’s choice. She recommended registering in advance to receive an extra ticket for the grand prize drawing, but brides also may register at the door.

Wedding guest books now take many forms

By LISA A. FLAM

The Associated Press Alexis and John Roulette don’t have to look far to remember the love friends and relatives showered upon them on their wedding day. The 7-footlong surfboard mounted above their living room couch says it all.

In silver Sharpie, guests wrote messages of love, congratulations and advice on the board the couple used as a guest book at their wedding in Huntington Beach, California, last summer.

“It’s a constant reminder of our special day and the love we had around us,” said Alexis Roulette, 30.

As weddings have become highly personalized, the guest book, too, has come a long way. What was once a traditional white bound book has become elaborate and creative, often taking the shape of something that reflects the couple’s personalities or wedding theme.

“What it’s morphed into is more of a way of delivering messages and notes and keepsakes for the bride and groom, while at the same time it’s become more interactive and creative in its display,” said Darcy Miller, editor at large of Martha Stewart Weddings.

Guests might sign a giant wine bottle (right), a piece of sporting

equipment, seashells or stones, maps, artwork, or fabric squares that get stitched together to form a quilt.

Miller has seen a vintage typewriter displayed for guests to peck out messages, a dictionary in which guests circled words relevant to the couple, and a globe on which guests signed near places they felt the couple should visit.

Because guest books are so individualized, they often become part of the couple’s home. “It becomes personalized decor you live with,” Miller said.

“These are no longer things getting stuck in a box and never looked at ever again.”

‘Fun’ no equivalent to, substitute for happiness I think there’s been a misunderstanding. Many people I meet have fun confused with happiness. What they really want is happiness, but they don’t know how to find it and look instead in the “fun department” and end up unhappy.

“Lorrie” had always been a good kid – a little shy and anxious about social situations, but not enough to keep her from having a small circle of friends and an apparently normal college social life. Inside, though, Lorrie was deeply unhappy. Her dad was a wonderful man but had suffered from alcoholism for years. Lorrie was his favorite, and she always had felt a deep need to defend him. She felt guilty she wasn’t doing enough, particularly when she was at school.

She was constantly worried about his health, his driving, his volatile rela-

tionship with her mom and numerous other things she couldn’t control.

Lorrie found avoiding these feelings was an adequate solution for her, so she immersed herself in video games, smoking weed, binge-watching TV shows and partying with an ever-widening group of friends. Her grades, which always had been excellent, started a precipitous decline.

Her worries were gone during her fun periods, but came back with a vengeance during her few quiet moments. Her worries became fears, and fears became grinding anxiety, and the anxiety metastasized to panic attacks. Her college suggested she take a semester off and seek some mental health counseling for her anxiety.

She headed home to see a psychiatrist. All Lorrie wanted, she said, was to be happy. She had tried substitut-

ing fun and ended up in the ditch.

Her psychiatrist suggested she see a therapist, who began to help her find her way.

She learned one of the root causes of anxiety was trying to control things she couldn’t control. The therapist suggested Lorrie try an Adult Children of Alcoholics group. At first intimidated, she quickly found these folks seemed to understand what she was experiencing.

Between ACA and her therapist, Lorrie learned to let go of the responsibility for her dad’s alcoholism.

She learned happiness was about contentment and satisfaction, what she’d been after all along, and fun was about entertainment and avoidance of unpleasantness.

She learned to spend more time working on happiness and a little less

time on the fun. She learned to spend less time expecting specific outcomes and more time accepting people, events and feelings for what they are.

Lorrie took a semester off from school, lived away from home with an aunt and spent her energy on recovery. She went back to school the next year with a different attitude and a new commitment to acceptance, contentment and satisfaction. She would tell you she loves her dad and hopes he’ll find recovery, but she knows it’s his job, not hers.

Music therapy beneficial for many medical problems to feel more energetic and cheerful.

On the other hand, listening to or singing along to sad country songs can increase feelings of sadness, even leading to tears. That’s not necessarily bad, though. Sometimes, when a person is feeling down, shedding tears is a way to relieve stress.

People who are anxious often find listening to nature sounds, combined with certain mellow tones, has a calming effect. Music associated with meditation reminds the listener to slow down, breathe and let go of external concerns. Even one clear note, such as that made by a chime or a singing bowl, can have an immediate calming effect, as it calls the listener back from the outside world to a state of contemplation.

I often have thought school teachers would have better results if, instead of slamming a ruler down on their desks to get their class’s attention, they simply struck a chime. It would be less aggressive, the children would not react with fright and be

more open to learning.

An interesting finding is when Parkinson’s patients move to music, it enhances communication across both sides of the brain, resulting in improved coordination and balance, and can improve memory in those suffering from Parkinson’s dementia.

This improved brain coordination also may be the reason people who stutter often are able to sing without any difficulty at all.

Because music is associated with our life experiences, it helps us to remember times in the past which we associate with comfort, peace, love and happiness. In times of sorrow, such as at a funeral, it can remind us of hope. The blues is a musical form that paradoxically expresses sadness while having a comforting effect on the listener.

In addition, music therapy has been proven helpful in pain management by improving respiration, lowering blood pressure, improving cardiac output, reducing heart rate

and relaxing muscle tension. It helps direct attention away from pain or anxiety, cues positive visual imagery and helps the client focus on positive thoughts and feelings.

A music therapist works as part of a multidisciplinary team that may include psychotherapists, nurses, physical therapists and psychiatrists. They also work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, addictions programs and psychiatric programs, to name a few.

Music therapy has been around for as long as human beings. In prehistoric times, anthropologists believe, rhythmic chanting was used in healing rituals, and rattles were used to break up negative energy. It is thought a woman’ pregnant belly was likely the first drum, and music the first language.

Today, music therapists use the universal language to treat depression, anxiety, Parkinson’s disease, and even to improve memory in clients with dementia. Music also has proved beneficial in treating stuttering and other speech impediments, as well as pain management.

The secret seems to be music can access multiple pathways in the brain that ordinary language cannot. And, while this is not yet an exact science, enough studies have been done to indicate it is because of this multiplicity that music had the effects it does. In depression, for instance, when clients listen to up-tempo music – an example might be “High Hopes” – they begin

Choose a wedding photographer carefully

By JONATHAN ELDERFIELD

“Brides should be realistic about their day and make every possible effort to help their photographer capture great imagery,” Cusic said.

The Associated Press

Your wedding is fast approaching and you have an un-blissfully long to-do list, from finalizing your flower selection to choosing your menu to deciding on your dress.

Near the top of that list you might want to put “select photographer.” That way, one of the most important parts of your wedding – the memories – will be preserved. Think about booking your photographer soon after you have selected your venue. Below are five tips on choosing and working with a wedding photographer:

Make sure personalities jibe

Look for depth

Ask to see a complete portfolio from beginning to end for at least one or two weddings. You don’t want to see only a few “best” photos.

“It’s easy to show a bunch of terrific single images taken at many weddings,” said Radhika Chalasani, “but a great wedding photographer has to capture an entire wedding beautifully from start to finish.” The New Yorkbased Chalasani has been photographing weddings since 2004.

You can see how the photographer handles all parts of the wedding, including the preparations, ceremony, cocktails, portraits, speeches, dancing and cake-cutting.

Get a contract

A wedding photographer without a

The contract should spell out what the photographer will provide, and whether the pictures will be on DVDs, an online gallery, a finished album, etc.

It will include the hours worked and what happens if you ask the photographer to work longer.

In addition, you want to know how things will be handled if the photographer becomes unable to work on the wedding day due to illness or injury. He or she should have a back-up.

The contract also should spell out the cost, the amount of any deposit and when the balance must be paid.

Don’t be shy

“There’s no harm in being specific,” said Chicago wedding photographer Candice C. Cusic, a photojournalist for 15 years and a teacher at Northwestern University.

Tell the photographer what the most important aspects of the day are to you, whether it’s exchanging rings or walking down the aisle.

Other than your significant other, the person with whom you’ll spend the most time on your wedding day might well be your photographer. He or she will be with you as you get ready and as you go through the emotional highs of the day. The photographer might guide you and your family through a portrait session, walk backward as you process up the aisle, and hang close by during your first dance.

So this person’s personality – sense of humor, demeanor, even appearance – should be a good fit with both of you.

Craig Warga, a New York-based wedding photographer, said “good photography happens when you can get close to your subjects, and they feel completely comfortable being natural and themselves in front of your lens. If you don’t like someone, you’re not going to have that level of comfort in front of them, and it will affect the pictures.”

If you like a sassy personality who will add some color to your day, then hire a vibrant, outgoing photographer who exudes energy. On the other hand, if you want a subtle documentary photographer who will capture important moments without being intrusive, go for someone who won’t talk loudly over you when you first meet, and who seems cool and composed.

Being a good maid of honor: 5 tips from the pros

By SOLVEJ SCHOU

The Associated Press

Jennifer Paik has been a maid of honor not once, not twice, but an impressive four times, most recently for her childhood best friend’s Newport Beach, California, yacht wedding three years ago.

The hardest part of the gig, according to the 34-year-old New York City real estate consultant? Writing and delivering the maid of honor’s wedding toast.

The first time she gave one of those speeches, at age 27, it was “terrible,” too improvised. She nailed it this last time, she said, by sticking to a friend’s advice: Tell stories.

Her best friend loved it.

“The guests could not stop laughing, and her husband still jokes she did not shed a single tear the entire wedding except during my speech!” Paik said.

Five more tips from wedding experts on how to be a good maid of honor:

Support the bride

While a maid of honor has many traditional duties, from helping the bride shop for a dress to organizing the bridal shower – plus holding the wedding bouquet and the groom’s ring – her main role is making sure the bride is happy.

So be enthusiastic!

“Even if the ideas the bride has sound horrible to you and are not your style, remember that to her they’re great,” said wedding planner Elizabeth Brandon, owner of the Los Angeles-based Wink! Weddings. “Try to take everything with a grain of salt. This day is about her.”

Be a buffer

Being head bridesmaid means running interference between the bride and her other bridesmaids or any meddling family members.

“Be kind to your bride and help with internal squabbles among the bridesmaids,” said Yolanda Crous, features

and travel director of Brides Magazine.

Get together with the other bridesmaids and let everyone vent, she said.

“Feel free to let loose.”

On the day of the wedding, ask the bride for a list of the people with whom she’d like to interact, since she’ll be bombarded all day.

Don’t go overboard

“It can be super-easy to get carried away and plan a bridal shower that you think is perfect and would make Martha Stewart proud. But if it’s one the bride doesn’t want, you would be in a world of trouble,” Brandon said.

And don’t be afraid to ask the bride for help if your schedule is packed.

“You might say, ‘Can I have a couple of bridesmaids co-host with me?’ ” said Brandon, who planned her own LA wedding 11 months ago. She chose her then 20-year-old sister as her maid of honor, and asked one of her best friends to organize the shower.

Have bridal suite well-stocked

On the day of the wedding, the bridal suite is home base for the bride and her bridesmaids to get ready.

Have an emergency kit on hand in case she spills something, loses a button or needs a bobby pin, said Crous.

“Bring some snacks,” and keep the bride and bridesmaids from drinking too much, she added.

Brandon suggested making “the best getting-ready music playlist ever.”

Keep the toast short and sweet

Finally, when it comes time to hoist the champagne and toast the bride, keep it short, said Crous, and don’t embarrass her.

“Don’t do the thing where you dredge up things from the bride’s past to be funny,” she said. “Humor is great! But be funny and kind. You’re better off doing something simple and emotional and from the heart.”
