Are standardized tests a shell game?

It’s been many years since school, and I honestly don’t remember how many or exactly which standardized tests we took. Iowa Basics, is one name I recall.

Stress wasn’t an issue as multiple choice tests were the easiest part of school besides lunch. Showing my math work was another story. Plus, darkening ovals all day meant no homework. Can’t lose.

We didn’t take as many tests as my kids take now. But to be honest, my kids don’t stress about them either. I only know they take them because I see the results around parent-teacher conference time.

School administrators and teachers stress about them often, and I understand why. They need to prepare students for these tests as well as prepare them for future education.

Last year, kids took PARCC tests for the first time, which by most accounts was a disaster.

The results certainly were. So the explanation from school officials was that it was a bad test and this was the first year.

Less than a third of Illinois students met or exceeded PARCC expectations. School officials said it would take several years of assessment before we could accurately determine whether our students were getting any better.

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Kevin Lyons This week, the Illinois State Board of Education announced it was eliminating PARCC for high school students and replacing it with the SAT. That’s all fine, but in the meantime last year was wasted and we have no means to judge student progress that we weren’t supposed to be able to judge the previous year.

We have a lot of mixed feelings about student test scores. Sure, every kid is a unique snowflake, and how dare we put a number of a child’s potential etc., etc.

But the point of standardized testing isn’t only to measure Suzy Snowflake’s progress, it’s to measure how our schools are doing on a macro level. I’m starting to wonder why Illinois wants to make it so difficult for us to do that.

NEW YORK – Donald Trump is wildly unpopular among young adults, in particular young people of color, and nearly two-thirds of Americans between the ages of 18 and 30 believe the presumptive Republican nominee is racist.

That’s the finding of a new GenForward poll that also found only 19 percent of young people have a favorable opinion of Trump compared to the three-quarters of young adults who hold a dim view of the New York billionaire.

Trump’s likely general election opponent, Hillary Clinton, is also unpopular with young people, but not nearly to the same extent as the real estate mogul and realty TV star. A mere 6 percent of young blacks, 10 percent of young Hispanics, 12 percent of young Asian Americans and 27 percent of young whites see Trump in a favorable light.

Officials: Man flown to hospital after Route 120 crash in McHenry

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com McHENRY – A man was flown to the hospital Wednesday after his pickup truck rolled over multiple times into a McHenry quarry, a fire official said.

McHenry Township Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Dave Harwood said the department responded about 3 p.m. to Route 120 and Martin Road.

The 41-year-old male driver was westbound on Route 120 when his 1998 Ford Ranger pickup truck left the road for an unknown reason, Harwood and McHenry police Cmdr. Thomas Walsh said.

Harwood said the truck went up a steep embankment and then rolled several times into the quarry before it

stopped about halfway down a hill.

The man was taken by ambulance to Parkland School where Flight for Life then took him to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, Harwood said.

Harwood said the man needed to go to a Level I trauma center to be evaluated, and was conscious but not acting appropriately.

The pickup truck was totaled, he said.

McHenry police dispatchers said the Route 120 was closed between Martin and Ringwood roads for about an hour.

Walsh said the crash is still under investigation, and at this time it has not been determined if speed or alcohol was a factor.

Harvard WWII vet welcomed with parade after winning gold

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HARVARD – When Chester Parks came home to Harvard after winning two gold medals and a silver in the 30th annual National Veterans Golden Age Games, he was greeted by family and neighbors who had lined the streets to congratulate him.

The 88-year-old World War II veteran competed in three swimming events – the 25-yard freestyle, 50-freestyle and 25-backstroke – at the games Tuesday in Detroit.

“It was very competitive, and I enjoyed being with all the vets,” Parks said. “It was like being back in the Army.”

Parks said he was shocked when he received his three medals at the games, something he had been training for since April.

No action recommended by AG’s office on District 200 complaint

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The Illinois Attorney General’s office is not recommending any action on a complaint it received from a Woodstock resident who alleged Woodstock Community Unit School District 200 violated the Illinois School Code.

Woodstock resident and taxpayer watchdog Susan Handelsman alleged the district did not properly publish notice for the June 21 meeting where the Board of Education approved a $1.9 million transfer from the transportation fund to the educational fund and an $880,900 transfer from the transportation fund to the operations and maintenance fund.

In the request for review, Handelsman said the board broke the Illinois School Code by not including the name of the clerk nor secretary of the board on the agenda for the June 21, and that the board intends to improperly use an interfund transfer for reoccurring expenses. “… The Public Access Counselor

does not have authority to review potential violations of the School Code, and these concerns are not governed by [the Illinois Open Meetings Act],” a letter from Assistant Attorney General Leah Bartelt said in response to the request for review.

The letter also addressed Handelsman’s claim that no specific non-recurring use of transferred funds was discussed or outlined in the agenda packet for the meeting, saying that the Open Meetings Act only requires that any agenda sets for the “general subject matter of any resolution or ordinance that will be the subject of final action at the meeting.”

Press Secretary for the Attorney General’s Office Annie Thompson said the Public Access Bureau handles all requests for review, and a new one has been submitted regarding the June 21 meeting that is more specific in regards to how the board potentially violated the Open Meetings Act. Handelsman said in addition to filing a revised request for review, she’s followed up with the Illinois State Board of Education, McHenry County

Clerk, McHenry County regional superintendent of schools, Senator Pamela Althoff and the Illinois Governor’s Office, to see who enforces the school code, and has so far found no answer.

“Why have a law that can’t be enforced?” Handelsman said.

District 200 Superintendent Mike Moan has previously said the district’s legal council said it was a legal transfer, and if the attorney general contacts the district, it will take legal action accordingly.

In May, another Woodstock resident and Republican candidate for McHenry County recorder Joe Tirio said he filed a complaint, alleging the board violated the Open Meetings Act its May 10 meeting.

Thompson said the case for that request for review is still ongoing.

“We take each request on a case-bycase basis, and we work with the public bodies and with the complainants to get more information,” Thompson said.

“And ultimately, our goal is to educate the public body as to what they need to do in order to follow state laws in regards to openness and transparency.”

Heritage Woods of Huntley begins memory care addition construction

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Heritage Woods of Huntley Assisted Living broke ground on a $5 million expansion Monday that will add 30 memory care and nine assisted living apartments to the facility at 12450 Regency Parkway.

The addition to the facility will cater to adults with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia and have nurses on duty 24 hours a day, according to Gardant Management Solutions, the operator of the property.

The addition, dubbed White Oaks at Heritage Woods, is scheduled for a spring 2017 opening.

Gardant Vice President for Development and Positioning Rick Banas said an eventual expansion was part of the original plan for the 72-unit facility, which opened in 2009.

“If someone develops the need for memory care, right now they have to move out of the community because

The setup could be advantageous for married couples in which one spouse needs memory care and the other can stay in the same facility, Banas said. It also allows patients to stay in a familiar environment with staff they know.

The memory care program would be focused on keeping residents physically active and trying to incorporate leisure activities from patients’ pasts into their activity programs.

The expansion comes as another senior housing facility from Alden Rick Banas Realty Services is preparing to begin Gardant Management Solutions vice construction a few blocks east on Represident for development and positioning gency Parkway.

Banas said the cluster was a testament to the high demand in Huntley, we do not have a specialized memory where he said the current population care neighborhood available,” Banas of Sun City is higher than the entire village’s population in 2000. said.

“The area has grown significantly, “This will allow them to stay in the community and allow them to have and the projections are that the area friends and neighbors they have met will continue to grow significantly in the next five 10 years,” Banas said. ... visit them in memory care.”

Valley Hi workers file grievance amid scabies outbreak

By JORDYN REILAND

“We are demanding that the Management at Valley Hi utilize every resource available to bridge the gap in staffing levels until Valley Hi can hire new candidates for the many open positions.”

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Amid a Norwegian scabies outbreak in a Woodstock nursing home, more than 70 Valley Hi Nursing Home employees and union members filed a petition addressing insufficient staffing levels.

The document, obtained by the Northwest Herald on Wednesday, alleges that employees have worked all call-in days, in addition to being mandated tasks well beyond the limits of their strength and health. The petition also said the insufficient staffing has increased the usage of sick time and job resignations among staff members, which has put a further strain on the existing staff.

“We are demanding that the management at Valley Hi utilize every resource available to bridge the gap in staffing levels until Valley Hi can hire new candidates for the many open positions,” the petition said.

Valley Hi Administrator Tom Annarella declined to comment on the petition and said it was unrelated to the scabies outbreak.

The county-operated facility notified the McHenry County Department of Health on June 30 of potential cases of the disease, and it was confirmed

Valley Hi Nursing Home employees and union members

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

Some Valley Hi nursing home workers have filed a union grievance over the scabies outbreak at the facility on Hartland Road near Woodstock. Scabies is an extremely itchy skin disorder that can be passed from one person to another. It is caused by an infestation with a parasite - the scabies mite. the next day.

Annarella said the nursing home is working with the local and state health department to get rid of the disease as quickly as possible.

“This is not something that doesn’t happen in nursing homes,” he said, noting this has happened in other facilities in McHenry County.

He said Valley Hi will provide resi-

dents and staff members with the second round of treatment early Thursday morning and visiting restrictions will be lifted Saturday.

Norwegian scabies is a severe form of the disease caused by an infestation of the skin by the human itch mite, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The disease is spread by direct contact and cloth-

ing, bedding and furniture contamination.

Democratic state Rep. Jack Franks, who is running for McHenry County Board chairman, said he first heard of the incident after he received calls from concerned family members of Valley Hi residents.

“As a result of the inadequacies and response of management, they have created a much worse problem for taxpayers and the employees,” Franks said.

He said both the petition and scabies outbreak cause him great concern, and he hopes that if proper procedure was not followed then management will be held accountable.

Health care job fair to be held in Woodstock

Be agile enough in business to seek new solutions Agility is the secret to all things.

If there is anything I have learned from watching the park outside my office fill with “Pokémon Go” players, it’s that there is nothing static in the world and you can be so hyper-focused that you miss the potential dangers around you.

For business owners to think, act or forecast from the same assumptions year over year, they risk quickly becoming irrelevant. Your comfort zone, while comfortable, also can become a velvet cage limiting your view of the future.

To stay relevant, one must stay agile and willing to continually learn.

Learning agility is the ability to be flexible, to challenge assumptions, to accept a new paradigm quickly and release perspectives that no longer are relevant or useful.

It is equally important to be willing to allow for a new model when a new solution is needed. If you look at each challenge as an opportunity to learn and experience, you have a higher likelihood of remaining agile. If you try and evaluate, adjust and evaluate, seek feedback and reflect, you are developing a wider bandwidth for problem solving.

I equate it to mat time in wres-

CHAMBER NEWS Mary Margaret Maule tling. My sons were both high school wrestlers. They began very young and by high school, had hundreds of hours of mat time under their belt.

And therefore, numerous scenarios they could build to achieve success – thousands of if-then scenarios to work with. The more new experiences, the more data to problem solve with.

The desire to acquire new skills or experience new situations is a fundamental component of learning agility.

But how do you remain agile without becoming frenetic?

How do you strike the balance between innovation and just different?

New with meaning versus new. Not all trends are good, not all innovation cost effective but taking the risk to appear the nonexpert can be a valuable skill to a business leader.

It encourages others around to take risks, push their assumptions, and put a little grey into an otherwise black and white world.

More agility can start simply with asking for new perspectives. Accept

there has to be a better way. If you hold true the motto “There is always something new to learn,” you are more inclined to step into unknown waters. You are even more inclined to avoid thinking in absolutes. Not only will it free your mind to new possibilities, it will power your success.

I am prone to invite change – but in controllable increments.

I strive to change 10 percent enough to impact the outcome without changing the objective. It can merely involve looking at the same issue with a different perspective, with a new lens, so to speak. Being willing to accept you may not have the answer can be very scary. But it can be very freeing as well. Look for connections across nontraditional areas. Use a model from a different industry to analyze your company. Ask for input from someone who knows nothing about your business – and therefore does not have any preconceived assumptions.

As I have mentioned in other columns, take time to reflect. A growing body of research continues to show that systematically reflecting on work experiences boosts your learning.

Intentional reflection allows you to challenge you own assumptions, re-evaluate the data with a different lens or merely identify what you will do differently the next time the situation arises. It is only a lesson if you ask yourself what you learned from this experience.

What have I learned about “Pokémon Go?” That people are fiercely competitive, even when there is nothing significant at stake. And that while it appears to be a solo sport, participation is being part of a larger movement. And if that is the way to get people to enjoy the park, well, I guess it is a start.

medals Wednesday night, his granddaughter Amanda Honea, who arranged the parade, said. She said Harvard police and Harvard Fire Protection District participated in the parade that ran down Northfield Avenue toward Parks’ home on Wildflower Lane.

“I was absolutely overwhelmed,” Parks said. “I was crying, the sirens were going, the horns were blowing, all the neighbors all over this whole subdivision were outside.”

Honea said the community support was incredible, and she’s very proud of her grandfather.

“He was so proud to do it and he went into it saying he was going to be No. 1, and he certainly came out No. 1,” Honea said.

“It’s a pretty incredible experience and something not many people get to say about their grandpa, so it’s very cool, and we’re very proud of him.”

Now that he’s not training, Parks said he will continue to swim for exercise, and go back to writing books in his free time.

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Crystal Lake Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram will host a USO barbecue for the troops Saturday.

According to the dealership’s Facebook page, the event will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Crystal Lake dealership, 5404 S. Route 31, with proceeds going directly to support local military members and their families.

“Customers like to know we do more than sell cars,” dealership general manager Scott Rosenberg said in a news release. “They like to know we get

involved with our community and help where we can – especially those people that risk their lives to protect ours.

We’ve got a bunch of fun stuff planned between now and July 16, and we hope our friends, family and community will stop by and help us support the USO.” Crystal Lake Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram is just one of more than 70 dealerships part of CATA (Chicago Automobile Trade Association) that will be firing up their grills and collecting donations this Saturday for the troops.

This will be the fourth year that the CATA, a new-car dealer association, has partnered with USO of Illinois, an organization supporting members of the military, to host this community fundraising event.

By HILLEL ITALIE

The Associated Press

AP file photo

Prize-winning scholar and historian William H. McNeill, shown in 1964, has died at age 98.

“Indeed, world history since 1500 may be thought of as a race between the West’s growing power to molest the rest of the world and the increasingly desperate efforts of other peoples to stave Westerners off,” wrote McNeill, who also cautioned that another civilization could yet overtake the West.

McNeill was criticized for writing too favorably of the West and would acknowledge flaws. In a “retrospective essay,” he noted that “The Rise of the West” was in part influenced by the Cold War and the United States’ post-

Eye View of History.” His memoir, “The Pursuit of Truth,” came out two years later.

He was born in Vancouver, British Columbia. His father, John T. McNeill, was a theologian and Medieval historian who sought to find common beliefs among Christians worldwide; the younger McNeill would see his scholarship as a secular version of his father’s calling. He was an undergraduate at the University of Chicago, and a graduate student at Cornell University.

His formal education was suspended in 1941 after the attack on Pearl Harbor and his enlistment in the Army, in which he served five years. But he continued to observe and absorb. He shared quarters with men of widely differing backgrounds. He learned cryptography and tasted the imperial power of being a commanding officer. McNeill especially valued his assignment to gather intelligence on the Communist uprising in Greece.

“What better experience could a historian have than to find himself observing revolution and counterrevolution close-up?” he wrote in his memoir.

After the war, he met and married Elizabeth Darbishire, whose father was a close friend of Toynbee’s. In 1947, McNeill joined the faculty of the University of Chicago and remained for 40 years.

A turning point came in the early 1950s when he accepted Toynbee’s offer to come to London and assist on a project about World War II. After two years, McNeill was disillusioned. He found that Toynbee resisted new ideas and “was sloppy in his scholarship.”

McNeill returned to the states and worked on what he knew would be his “big book.”

Jailed Cosa Nostra Mafia boss dies, decade after capture in Sicily

By FRANCES D’EMILIO The Associated Press

ROME – Convicted Cosa Nostra “boss of bosses” Bernardo Provenzano, who reputedly led the Mafia’s powerful Corleone clan, died on Wednesday, a decade after his capture in Sicily following decades of hiding in the countryside, a lawyer said.

In recent years, Provenzano, 83, had been held under strict security measures at a Milan hospital. The lawyer, Rosalba Di Gregorio had cited Provenzano’s increasing physical frailty and mental infirmity in several failed attempts to persuade anti-Mafia prosecutors to ease the prison conditions intended to prevent mobsters from wielding power from behind bars.

The reputed “capo dei capi” (top boss) was arrested in 2006 after 43 years as a fugitive. He had been convicted in

absentia of more than a dozen murders, as well as being part of the Mafia’s leadership who ordered the 1992 bombings that, in separate attacks, killed Sicily’s top two Bernardo anti-Mafia investigaProvenzano tors, Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino. He was also convicted of being a mastermind behind Mafia bombings in 1993 in Rome, Milan and Florence, including one attack near the Uffizi art gallery.

Provenzano also was convicted of being among those giving the order for the 1982 murder in Palermo of Carabinieri Gen. Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa, who had been dispatched to the Sicilian capital by the Italian government to lead the state’s uphill war against the Mafia.

While young, Provenzano received the nickname “The Tractor” for deter-

mination displayed in a mob career that began as a hitman. He was believed to have taken over the leadership of the Sicilian crime syndicate after the 1993 arrest of a fellow longtime fugitive boss, Salvatore “Toto” Riina.

While in charge, investigator said Provenzano helped the Mafia dig its tentacles deeper into the lucrative world of public works contracts in Sicily, turning the mob into more of a white-collar industry of illegal activity, lessening its dependence on traditional money-makers like drug trafficking and extortion.

He essentially thumbed his nose at authorities, who were trying to hunt down a man whose last photo was a confident-looking young man, in a jacket and tie, hair brushed back from a broad forehead, taken decades earlier.

The man who had for years been Italy’s No. 1 fugitive was betrayed not by an informer or a rival mobster, but

by clean laundry. Police had tracked a package of clothes to a farmhouse on the outskirts of Corleone, the hilltop town that had inspired the fictional crime family name in “The Godfather.”

Police had noticed the package leave his wife’s house in Corleone, then be delivered to a series of addresses until it finally was driven to the farmhouse.

When someone put a hand through the door to take in the laundry, police swept in, nabbing Provenzano, who had been living in the farmhouse with a shepherd who doubled as his housekeeper.

In his decades on the run, Provenzano had counted on Sicilians’ centuries-old mistrust of the state to help him, as he slept in islanders’ homes.

His children were born in local hospitals. He even sent the national public health care system a bill for prostate treatment he had abroad under a false name.

NEW YORK – William H. McNeill, the prize-winning scholar who wove the stories of civilizations worldwide into the landmark “The Rise of the West” and helped pioneer the history of disease and epidemics in “Plagues and People,” has died at age 98.

McNeill died Friday at his home in Torrington, Connecticut, said Steve Koppes, associate news director at the University of Chicago, where McNeill was a professor emeritus.

McNeill wrote more than a dozen books, notably “The Rise of the West,” published in 1963 and greeted by The New York Times as “the most stimulating and fascinating” work of world history ever released. It won the National Book Award, sold well despite exceeding 800 pages and later was ranked No. 71 by the Modern Library among the 20th century’s best English-language nonfiction books.

The title of McNeill’s book was a direct challenge to Oswald Spengler’s “The Decline of the West.” But “The Rise of the West,” its narrative extending from the Paleolithic Age to the present, was also born out of a Freudian struggle with McNeill’s hero and father figure Arnold Toynbee, then the reigning scholar of world history. Toynbee believed that civilizations of the East and West had essentially developed independently and their stories were separate. McNeill countered that they were very much part of one story, one of “contacts and “exchanges” and the triumph of Western innovation over the stagnation of Muslim and Chinese culture.

World War II ascendance. He underestimated the Chinese, “gave undue attention to Latin Christendom” and showed “scant concern for the sufferings of the victims of historical change.” He faulted the scholarship of the time, but also “the bias” of his education and “personal idiosyncrasies” that led him to favor stories of Western success. But he welcomed disagreement. The past, he was sure, would be captured with ever greater “precision, richness, and accuracy beyond anything previously possible.”

McNeill always looked for new ways to explain the world. He did not track change through the feats of great men, but through everyday innovation, technology and the mixing of cultures. He documented the democratizing effect of the close-order military drill, the moldboard plow’s transformation of agriculture, the impact of potato farming. He studied closely what happened when “cakes of custom collided,” whether between rural and urban cultures, rival religions or rival countries.

McNeill regarded his future books as sequels and correctives to “Rise of the West.” In the 1976 release “Plagues and People,” he was among the first to examine the effect of infectious disease in history, from ancient Eurasia to the 20th century. He anticipated the AIDS epidemic that would break out a few years later and helped launch a field of scholarship that includes Jared Diamond, Laurie Garrett and Richard Preston.

His other works included “The Pursuit of Power” and a reluctant biography of his fallen idol, Toynbee, written on request by Toynbee’s wife. In 2003, he collaborated with his son, J.R. McNeill, on “The Human Web: A Bird’s

STATE

Clinton urges nation to fix divisions

By KEN THOMAS

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton smiles after speaking Wenesday at the Old State House in Springfield.

The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that the Republican Party of Abraham Lincoln has been transformed into “the party of Trump,” declaring her GOP presidential opponent a polarizing figure who is deepening the divisions in America.

Clinton embraced the symbolism of Lincoln’s “House Divided” speech, using the Illinois Old State House chamber as the backdrop to argue that the nation needs to repair its divisions after a series of high-profile police shootings. A week before the Republican convention, Clinton said presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump would do little to heal the country.

“This man is the nominee of the party of Lincoln. We are watching it become the party of Trump. And that’s not just a huge loss for our democracy – it is a threat to it,” Clinton said, speaking from the black walnut wooden dais in the Old State Capitol. “Because Donald Trump’s campaign adds up to an ugly, dangerous message to America.”

Clinton, a polarizing figure for nearly three decades in national political life, acknowledged that she, too, must

contribute to the healing.

“As someone in the middle of a hotly fought political campaign, I cannot stand here and claim that my words and actions haven’t sometimes fueled the partisanship that often stands in the way of our progress,” Clinton said a week after she faced criticism from the FBI director over her handling of classified materials at the State Department. “So I recognize I have to do better, too.”

The Democratic presidential candidate picked the symbolic location where Lincoln delivered his famous address about the perils of slavery in June 1858 to the state Republican convention. Elected the first Republican president two years later, Lincoln declared that “a house divided against

itself cannot stand.”

Clinton is not the first to reach for Lincoln’s legacy. President Barack Obama launched his first presidential campaign in 2007 in a chilly outdoor rally on the steps of the Old State Capitol, echoing Lincoln’s calls for unity before the Civil War. She said the recent shootings had left many Americans asking “whether we are still a house divided.”

Clinton said the nation, including herself, needs to listen more rather than fueling political and other divisions after the high-profile shootings in Texas, Louisiana and Minnesota.

She reiterated her calls to address gun violence, criminal justice reform and ways of supporting police departments.

But she sought to present herself as

the Chicago Tribune reported.

The signs read “Muslims to Muslims: See Something. Say Something. Save Innocent Lives.”

The signs are meant to show average Americans that Muslims don’t condone terrorism, said Talat Rashid, the association’s founder. He said the billboards call on Muslims to alert authorities if they suspect anyone of such acts.

Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago chairman Mohammed Kaiseruddin said officials at the Cook County Department of Homeland Security & Emergency Management asked him to promote the slogan. He refused, saying it’s an over simplistic message that could lead to the reporting of innocent people, such as the 14-year-old Texas boy who was arrested when his teacher suspected a clock he built may have been a bomb in 2015.

a unifying force against Trump, pointing to the businessman’s inflammatory statements about Muslims, Hispanics and others.

Trump, in an interview with The Associated Press on Monday, predicted that protests against police violence that followed last week’s slaying of the five police officers in Dallas “might be just the beginning for this summer.”

Clinton cited Trump’s toying with “creating a database to track Muslims in America,” his provocative statements about women and work during Obama’s presidency to promote the “birther movement” which sought evidence that the one-time Illinois senator was not born in the United States.

“His campaign is as divisive as any we’ve seen in our lifetimes. It’s built on stoking mistrust and pitting American against American,” Clinton said. “It’s there in everything he says and everything he promises to do as president.”

In her speech, Clinton rattled off a series of attacks against her GOP rival, calling Trump “dangerous,” ‘’divisive,” ‘’fear-mongering” and “pitting American against American.” Even stalwart Republicans, she said, should be alarmed by Trump’s policies and racist rhetoric.

August hearing scheduled in Maria Ridulph killing case

SYCAMORE – A DeKalb judge has scheduled a hearing for next month to determine if a prosecutor made statements that compromised his objectivity in the case of a 7-year-old girl’s killing in 1957.

The (DeKalb) Daily Chronicle reported Judge William Brady on Tuesday set a hearing for Aug. 5 in connection with the slaying of Maria Ridulph. Jack McCullough was sentenced to life in prison in 2012 in the girl’s death.

But DeKalb County State’s Attorney Richard Schmack said a review found flaws and determined McCullough’s alibi was solid, resulting in his conviction being overturned and his release.

Maria Ridulph’s brother, Charles Ridulph, claims Schmack promised during the

2012 campaign that he would drop murder charges against McCullough. Schmack has said he acted only within the obligation of his role as prosecutor.

Housing agency offers help to homeowners

CHICAGO – Illinois is receiving nearly $1.4 million in federal funds to help seasonal farmworkers with housing and job training.

Democratic U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin announced the U.S. Department of Labor grant Monday. It’s part of $81 million in funds being distributed nationwide as part of the department’s farmworker jobs program.

The Illinois Migrant Council will use the money to help agricultural workers and their families learn new skills and have better housing options.

NATION BRIEFS Focus on Dallas gunman’s something to Michelle Obama, who smiled and laughed. honorable discharge DALLAS – Almost a week after the Dallas sniper attacks, it’s still unclear how the gunman obtained an honorable discharge from the military even though Army officials sent him home from Afghanistan with a recommendation that he be thrown out of the armed forces.

An attorney appointed by the military to represent Micah Johnson in a sexual harassment case speculated last week that Johnson’s behavioral record could be more serious. The attorney says he’s now under strict orders not to discuss the matter with reporters.

Johnson, 25, served in the Army Reserve for six years before the July 7 sniper attack, which killed five Dallas police officers.

Some criticize Bush’s behavior as inappropriate given the solemn occasion. Others posted past videos of Bush dancing awkwardly.

Obama: Still far from solving police, community issues

By KEVIN FREKING

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – America is “not even close” to where it needs to be in terms of resolving issues between police and the communities they serve, President Barack Obama said after concluding a more than three-hour meeting Wednesday with community activists, politicians and law enforcement officials.

Obama expressed optimism, however, and said the participants – who included members of the Black Lives Matter movement – agreed such conversations need to continue despite emotions running raw.

Obama has devoted his attention this week to the gun violence directed at police officers as well as shootings by police. The focus comes a few days after a black Army veteran killed five police officers in revenge for police shooting black men in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and the Minneapolis suburbs.

On Tuesday, Obama attended a memorial service for the five slain Dallas officers and called the families of Alton Sterling in Louisiana and Philando Castile in Minnesota to offer condolences. He said he wanted Americans to have an open heart so that they can learn to look at the world through each other’s eyes, and Wednesday’s meeting followed that theme.

Obama said it would be key to repeat the “kind of respectful conversations we’ve had here” across the country.

“The conversation that took place around this table is very different than the one that you see on a day-to-day or hourly basis in the me-

dia,” Obama said.

But Obama also said the “bad news” was that making progress is hard.

“We’re not even close to being there yet, where we want to be,” he said.

The nearly three dozen people invited to the White House included some police organizations that have little regard for Black Lives Matter, a group they blame for inciting violence against police officers. White House officials acknowledged that enhancing the trust that has been frayed in so many communities will be a job for future presidents, but they said Obama was determined to get all sides to commit to steps they can take to improve relations.

Those attending the meeting included Gov. John Bel Edwards of Louisiana and Mayor Chris Coleman of St. Paul, Minnesota, the two locations where police shootings sparked protests around the country. Mayors from Los Angeles, Newark, New Jersey, and Anaheim, California, also attended. From the administration, Attorney General Loretta Lynch joined the president.

“At a time when our country, when we are talking past each other, the president’s convening allowed us to hear one another,” said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.

Also on the list were Mica Grimm, with Black Lives Matter Minnesota, and DeRay Mckesson, who was arrested Saturday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on a charge of obstructing a highway. Police said Mckesson “intentionally” placed himself in the road after protesters were repeatedly warned to remain on private property or the curb.

Trump family meets with VP finalists

BRIEF Ginsburg’s Trump critique raises ethical quandaries

WASHINGTON – Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s public criticism of Donald Trump is dividing legal experts over whether the leader of the court’s liberal wing should recuse herself in any future case involving him.

In an interview last week, Ginsburg presumed Democrat Hillary Clinton will be the next president. Asked her thoughts on the possibility of a Trump win, she said, “I don’t want to think about that possibility,” and amplified her view in two subsequent interviews.

Trump quickly fired back at Ginsburg, who was appointed to the high court in 1993 by his opponent’s husband, former President Bill Clinton. He tweeted Wednesday that the 83-year-old justice was an embarrassment for making “very dumb political statements about me. Her mind is shot - resign!”

While Ginsburg’s remarks were relatively tame in an era of hyper-partisanship, experts in legal ethics said she likely ran afoul of Canon 5 of the Code of Judicial Conduct, which says a federal judge “should not publicly endorse or oppose a candidate for public office.”

INDIANAPOLIS – Republican Donald Trump on Wednesday entered the final phase of his high-profile search for a running mate, arranging last-minute meetings with his finalists and family members as his staff prepares for a Friday announcement.

Trump posted on Twitter on Wednesday evening that he would reveal his choice at 11 a.m. Friday in Manhat- Mike Pence tan.

The presumptive GOP presidential nominee, his adult children and key staffers huddled with prospects earlier in the day.

He began Wednesday with breakfast at the residence of one, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, Wednesday morning, a day after the pair campaigned together in the state. They were joined by Trump’s three adult children, along with his son-and-law and campaign chair Paul Manafort, who were seen leaving the residence.

Hours later, Newt Gingrich, another finalist, was seen with Trump’s entourage at a downtown Indianapolis

hotel. Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, who has been advising Trump, was spotted arriving at the same hotel not long after Gingrich left.

Trump’s family, inNewt cluding Ivanka Trump Gingrich and her husband, Jared Kushner, also met privately with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie Tuesday. The meeting was confirmed by a source with direct knowledge of the meeting, but was not Jeff Sessions authorized to discuss it publicly.

The meetings have been designed to let Trump’s family get to know the candidates better before the presumptive nominee formalizes his decision.

Chris Trump originally had Christie planned to fly back from Indiana with Pence after a rally Tuesday night, but his plane was grounded by mechanical issues, so Trump’s kids flew to join them in Indiana, another person familiar with his movements but not authorized to discuss them said.

“It was a late plan,” Pence told reporters later Wednesday. “I was hauling dishes from the cupboard at midnight. [Pence’s wife] Karen laid out a nice spread.”

Indiana is a state with particular significance for the presumptive GOP nominee: It’s where he effectively locked up the GOP nomination with a commanding primary win that drove former rival Ted Cruz from the race.

Pence, Christie and Gingrich were said to be the final contenders for vice presidential candidate on the Republican ticket less than a week before the GOP meets in Cleveland for the formal nomination. That’s according to a person familiar with Trump’s thinking, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss the vetting process. Trump said in a Tuesday interview with The Wall Street Journal that Sessions, Trump’s top Senate advocate, also is still in the mix.

Pence is a steady, staunch conservative who would help calm nervous Republican wary of Trump’s impulsive style. Gingrich is a boisterous rabble-rouser who has spent decades in Washington, including as House speaker. Christie, a one-time rival, has become one of Trump’s most trusted advisers.

David Cameron exits after 6 years as leader

By JILL LAWLESS and DANICA KIRKA The Associated Press

TOKYO – Japan’s Emperor Akihito has expressed his intention to retire and relinquish his title in the next few years, rather than reduce his duties as he ages, the country’s public television reported Wednesday.

The 82-year-old Akihito in recent years has referred to his old age and admitted to making small mistakes at ceremonies, and the Imperial Household Agency has suggested reducing his duties, while giving more responsibility to Crown Prince Naruhito.

The NHK report, citing unidentified agency sources, said Akihito has told palace officials he doesn’t wish to cling to his title with drastically reduced responsibility or by arranging a substitute. Kyodo News agency carried a similar report quoting government officials.

Later Wednesday night, Kyodo said Imperial Household Agency official Shinichiro Yamamoto denied the report.

The NHK report said Akihito has been mulling the possibility over the past few years and that his two sons have accepted the idea.

LONDON – Theresa May entered No. 10 Downing St. on Wednesday as Britain’s new prime minister, after a bittersweet exit by David Cameron that was tinged with humor and regret.

“I was the future once,” Cameron quipped as he left office. But that future now belongs to May, and it involves instability, uncertainty and tough wrangling over Britain’s departure from the European Union.

Britain’s transition of power unfolded with startling speed since the June 23 referendum on EU membership.

Cameron announced his resignation after voters rejected his appeal to stay in the 28-nation bloc, and May, the former home secretary, became Conservative Party leader Monday after an abbreviated contest in which her only remaining rival dropped out.

Then came ceremonial choreography: Two trips to Buckingham Palace and two audiences with Queen Elizabeth II that ended with one prime minister out of a job and a new one curtseying to the monarch to begin her term.

May stood in front of the iconic door of No. 10 with her husband, Philip, as the 13th prime minister of the queen’s reign and the first woman to hold the job since fellow Conservative Margaret Thatcher served from 1979 to 1990.

She acknowledged that Britain faces a rocky road ahead as it undoes 43 years of EU ties and forges a new relationship with its neighbors.

“Following the referendum, we face a time of great national change,” May said. “And I know because we’re Great Britain we will rise to the challenge.

“As we leave the European Union we will forge a bold new positive role for ourselves in the world and we will make Britain a country that works not for a privileged few, but for every one of us,” she said.

May promised to fight for social justice in a speech that addressed “hard-working families” who have struggled during the years of instability since the 2008 financial crisis. Many of those people, fed up with remote politicians and bureaucrats, voted to leave the EU. “When it comes to opportunity we won’t entrench the advantages of the

fortunate few. We will do everything we can to help anybody, whatever your background, to go as far as your talents will take you,” May said, in language more often used by left-of-center politicians, rather than by members of the center-right Conservative Party.

May began appointing her new Cabinet within an hour of taking office, and several posts went to “leave” supporters. The most notable was former London Mayor Boris Johnson, who was given the meaty job of foreign secretary, Britain’s top diplomatic post. The blond, Latin-speaking Johnson – a leader of the campaign for a British exit, or Brexit – had aspired to be prime minister himself before his bid failed because of party infighting.

Former Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond was named Treasury chief, ousting George Osborne, a strong “remain” voice in the referendum. May’s former job of home secretary went to Amber Rudd.

May has said she will create a new post of “Brexit” minister to oversee talks on a British EU exit from the 28-nation EU. That key job went to veteran Conservative lawmaker David Davis – a longstanding advocate of leaving the EU – and he will lead at least two years of negotiations with the bloc.

OUR VIEW

We support police officers On Tuesday, President Barack Obama addressed an interfaith memorial service in Dallas for the five police officers – Lorne Ahrens, Patrick Zamarripa, Michael Krol, Michael Smith and Brent Thompson – who were killed in a horrifying ambush in that city early July 7.

The president, who was on a series of official visits to U.S. allies in Europe last week, has been criticized at times for fanning the flames of discontent among minority For the record communities. However, it is likely that anger would Our safety and security in exist whether the president large part is due to our local law gave it any credence or not. enforcement officers, who asThe videos the public sume the sometimes dangerous saw last week on the TV burden of keeping the peace. news and on the Internet were jarring glimpses of men in their last moments. Although it’s important to note both incidents remain under investigation, many saw the footage and concluded Alton Sterling and Philando Castile had been killed unnecessarily by police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Falcon Heights, Minnesota.

Even among those who came to that conclusion, who seethe with anger at what they believe is systemic injustice toward poor people in minority communities, most are horrified at the acts of the lone gunman who told police he wanted to kill white cops.

As the shots rang out in Dallas, protesters ran for their lives, while police rushed to stop the threat.

Nearly all of us recognize police and the jobs they do on a daily basis are essential to our communities. Our safety and security in large part is due to our local law enforcement officers, who assume the sometimes dangerous burden of keeping the peace.

The system and its agents, including police, should not be presumed to be beyond reproach. There are bad actors wearing uniforms and badges. Complaints about police tactics should not be brushed off as mere political correctness or people looking to make excuses for criminal behavior. They do not constitute a “war on cops,” no matter what former Illinois Congressman-turned-talk-show-host Joe Walsh might say.

Rhetoric that stirs the sort of violence against police that horrified the nation last week also is toxic, however.

Police are there to help, a fact realized clearly by many of the protesters in Dallas on Thursday.

Dallas Police had not shot and killed anyone this year at the time of the attack.

Many people have come forward to show support for the Dallas Police and their local officers in the aftermath of this tragedy, with blue ribbons, meals, hugs and other expressions of gratitude.

We support the police as well, and the dedication it takes to fulfill their everyday mission to serve and protect their fellow citizens.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

An impasse in changing status quo

There is no end in sight for contract talks with the state’s largest union.

State employees represented by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees can put their strike plans on hold now that the state’s Labor Relations Board has rejected management’s request it declare talks have reached an impasse. The board’s decision blocks, at least for now, management’s option to impose its final offer on the union, a move that has led to widespread strike talk in Springfield.

The issue now goes back to the hearing officer, who will make a recommendation on the impasse question the board can either accept or reject.

The board’s action may have surprised union supporters, but it’s hard not to conclude contract talks are at an impasse. Indeed, it seems obvious.

AFSCME and management have met nearly 70 times without success.

While the union has indicated it’s negotiating in good faith, Jason Barclay, counsel to the governor, has been quoted as saying AFSCME “has categorically rejected the governor’s core proposals.”

At the same time, the union has accused Gov. Bruce Rauner of not negotiating in good faith and trying to break the union.

In response, Rauner has noted he’s reached

collective bargaining agreements with 17 unions representing 5,000 state employees.

AFSCME is, by far, the state’s largest union, representing nearly 40,000 state employees.

Used to winning generous salary and benefit packages in contract talks, AFSCME is facing different circumstances in its negotiations with Rauner. He has said repeatedly Illinois is broke and has no money to give AFSCME. The contract agreements the governor’s office reached with the other unions provide no salary increases for four years but do include financial incentives in the form of bonuses.

It’s that approach that AFSCME has flatly rejected, setting the stage for acrimony both at the negotiating table and in the General Assembly.

AFSCME is intent on dragging matters out as long as it can because its contract, which expired a year ago, was extended with its benefit provisions intact, most importantly its health insurance benefits. Rauner is asking AFSCME members to pay more for their health insurance in any new agreement.

While not a towering defeat, the board’s ruling is a serious setback for Rauner, another reminder that trying to change the status quo is a tremendous challenge.

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.

The (Champaign) News-Gazette

VIEWS Ramesh Ponnuru conservative than nonwhites, married people are more conservative than single people, and church-going Christians are more conservative than everyone else. The percentage of the population that belongs to each of those conservative groups is dwindling, which suggests conservatism will dwindle, too. These trends give liberals a reason to think their positions have become less politically risky than they used to be and will be even less risky in the future.

The success of Bill Clinton: Judged by the standards of today’s Democrats, the Clinton administration looks conservative. Clinton signed laws cutting the capital-gains tax, requiring able-bodied welfare recipients to work, making criminal sentences more severe, funding the building of prisons, and defining marriage in federal law as the union of a man and a woman. He said abortion should be “rare,” a sentiment

absent from the party’s platform today.

Some progressives damn the compromises of the 1990s. But they should consider they are able to do so only because those compromises rehabilitated liberalism in the eyes of the public. Welfare reform, in particular, helped to re-legitimize government activism by reassuring middle-class voters benefits would go to people who work for a living and, in that way, support rather than undermine their values. By playing it safe in a conservative era, the Clintons helped liberalism to survive and grow – and now can run a more confidently liberal party.

Republican haplessness: Republicans have lost the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections. They have spent much of the Obama administration at war with themselves. This year the party’s voters chose the presidential candidate who polled worst in a general election, and looked least likely to organize and raise funds for a competent national campaign, to be their nominee.

A formidable Republican Party

would be able to make the Democrats pay a political price for going too far to the left, and this potential would inhibit the Democrats. Today’s Republicans do not have the Democrats running scared, at least in presidential elections.

Progressive Democrats didn’t get their way on every sentence of the platform: There still are limits to how far left Democrats will go. Liberal commentators have reached a consensus that the welfare reform of 1996 was a catastrophe for the poor.

But Democratic politicians remain wary of revisiting the issue. The platform is careful, too, on guns, an issue where public opinion has moved right over the past two decades.

Progressives can fight those battles another day. For now, they are celebrating what they have achieved in the latest platform. They have a lot more running room than they used to have, and they are making the most of it.

IT’S YOUR WRITE District 200 must justify use of increased state funding

To the Editor: Woodstock School District 200 is getting its fourth year in a row of windfall profit from state funding increases.

None of these millions of dollars of extra state funding were passed along to taxpayers. Instead, the school board chose to spend the extra money on ... what? One example discovered from agendas is an unsolicited administrative bonus. Four years ago, District 200 received $11.25 million funding from Illinois. This rose every year and now is expected to be $18.9 million.

Did an enrollment rise account for this? No, enrollment is lower than four years ago (after being relatively flat for a decade).

Did the property tax levy go down to account for this additional funding?

No, the tax levy has risen from $55.7 million four years ago to $59.1 million this year.

Woodstock homeowners pay 4.6 percent property tax rates on fair market

value of homes. Woodstock District 200’s budget book projects spending and EAVs, which will cause this rate to remain at 4.6 percent, at best.

If you want property tax relief, the only way to get it is to contact school board members and ask them to explain how they are spending more than $10 million more a year than four years ago – and that does not include increased debt they have incurred.

Here we go again with state of Illinois budget

To the Editor: So here we go again with the state of Illinois. Every year we hear how without money from the state, it is doubtful the Chicago Public Schools system will be able to open in the fall.

While our Governor is trying desperately to put some sanity into the budgeting process, he is getting stonewalled at every turn by Mike Madigan, John Cullerton and their caucuses. They went on recess with

I would like to see a referendum on the next ballot that says, “Whenever the state budget isn’t passed on time, the state legislators will not get paid for every day after that time until the budget is passed.” I’m guessing we’d see budgets passed very quickly. I’m sick of this.

Democrats are galloping to the left. David Weigel made the point in a Washington Post report on their new party platform: “The Democratic Party shifted further to the left in one election than perhaps since 1972, embracing once-unthinkable stances on carbon pricing, police reform, abortion rights, the minimum wage and the war on drugs.” He could have added Social Security and immigration to his list.

So why has the unthinkable become thinkable? Four reasons come to mind.

Partisan sorting: The Obama years saw the remaining conservative Democrats get wiped out, as Weigel notes. The Democrats are a more uniformly progressive party now. There are fewer conservative Democrats among the party’s elected officials and activists to counsel restraint, and fewer conservative Democratic voters to worry about alienating. The platform reflects these developments.

Demographics: Democrats have grown increasingly convinced demographic trends augur a lasting progressive majority. Whites are more

BUSINESS

Businesses try to keep calm amid uncertainty

By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG The Associated Press

Britain’s vote to leave the European Union is already taking a toll on some small U.S. businesses, with canceled tour bookings in New York and U.K. retailers cutting back their orders from American suppliers.

The plunge in the pound against the U.S. dollar after the vote three weeks ago makes goods and services more expensive for those in the U.K., and means British tourists get less for their money while traveling elsewhere.

Many of the companies are trying to plot a course without clarity on exactly when or how a split may occur.

Businesses with facilities in Britain wonder if they’ll have to establish a presence elsewhere. Others worry the broader European economy may weaken further, making investment in those countries a bad idea.

On Location Tours in New York, which specializes in outings to places where TV shows like “Sex and the City” and “Gossip Girl” were shot, usually gets nearly a third of its business from Britons visiting the U.S. Owner Georgette Blau said that in the three weeks since the vote, she’s had a nearly 20 percent drop in overall revenue from the same time a year ago; travelers said they were canceling trips or were cutting spending once they arrived.

With the pound still near three-decade lows against the U.S. dollar, Blau is worried about the coming months – particularly the winter, when On Loca-

Georgette Blau, owns On Location Tours in New York, which specializes in outings to places where TV shows such as “Sex and the City” and “Gossip Girl” were shot, usually gets nearly a third of its business from Britons visiting the U.S. tion gets a lot of business from British school groups.

“My concern is that as wonderful as New York is, people do have other choices,” Blau said. She’s responding by advertising more within the U.S., and investing in marketing to places like China where some U.S. TV programs are popular.

Rachel Winard has seen several U.K. business customers pare back their orders for her Soapwalla skin care products.

“I get the sense that retailers are concerned about the fluctuating ex-

change rate and are being particularly conservative,” said Winard, who gets half her business from Europe, including the 10 percent of revenue that comes from the U.K. She’s concerned not only about orders, but that products might languish on store shelves if consumers get skittish about spending.

Other companies are proceeding with caution because of the uncertainty. First, it’s not known exactly when the British government under incoming Prime Minister Theresa May will act on the vote to withdraw from the

EU. May has indicated she will not start the process until next year, but may face pressure to move up the timetable. Any split would also take years to accomplish and involve negotiations such as trade agreements. Another question: Will other EU countries seek to withdraw?

As required for it to do business in the EU, computer networking company Kollective Technology has a physical presence in an EU country – in Britain, company president Todd Johnson said.

But if Britain withdraws, he said, the Sunnyvale, California-based company will have to replicate its British operation in another country to keep complying. The cost could run to $1 million, a huge investment for business with $20 million in annual revenue.

More immediately, Johnson is seeing prospective customers taking their time before committing to big purchases because of the vote.

“They’re all trying to figure out what this means to them,” Johnson said.

At Accusoft, which sells software to process documents, the concern is about what established customers will do when their contracts come up for renewal, CEO Jack Berlin said.

The pound’s weakness, which may be long-lasting, makes Tampa, Florida-based Accusoft’s services more expensive in Britain.

“Something we would expect to close in 90 or 100 days I suspect would drag into next year as they figure out what their business prospects look like,” he said.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT THURSDAY, JULY 14, 2016

NEW YORK – Taylor Swift has confirmed that she co-wrote ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris’ latest hit song under an alias, prompting the DJ-producer to send a series of angry tweets.

A representative for Swift said Wednesday that she used the name Nils Sjoberg for “This is What You Came For,” Harris’ song featuring Rihanna. Harris responded on Twitter and said Swift had wanted to keep the collaboration secret. “[It’s] hurtful to me at this point that her and her team would go so far out of their way to try and make ME look bad at this stage though,” Harris tweeted. Harris and Swift announced last month that they’d broken up.

Tom Hanks announces death of his mother, Janet Frager

Taraji P. Henson joined Beyonce, Chris Rock and Pharrell, among others, in a powerful video released Wednesday that describes “23 ways you could be killed if you are black in America.”

Alicia Keys calls on famous pals to star in racial justice video NEW YORK – Alicia Keys and a host of other stars, including Beyonce, Bono, Rihanna, Taraji P. Henson and Chris Rock, appear in a powerful video released Wednesday that describes “23 ways you could be killed if you are black in America.”

The video made the social media rounds after its release on Mic.com, spawning its own hashtag, 23Ways, and thousands of shares and comments. In black and white, it juxtaposes 23 artists with photos of 23 black victims of violence, with each star noting the acts that led to their deaths, mainly after interactions with police.

Many of the deaths led to intense anger and frustration among blacks, and kicked off protests that grew into the Black Lives Matter movement.

In an interview Wednesday, Keys said she was inspired by a Mic.com story earlier this month written by Jamilah King under the headline: “23 Everyday Actions Punishable by Death if You’re Black in America.”

It was written after Alton Sterling was killed by police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, after an altercation caught on video by a bystander. The story’s approach, listing everyday things like laughing, sitting in your car, attending a birthday party, was Keys’ call to action.

“It was just so powerful because it was all just so trivial,” she said. “I just felt so devastated and frustrated and angry, saddened and disappointed.

Those are the same feelings that we all feel.”

Keys and her We Are Here organization call at the end of the video for signatures on a petition demanding President Barack Obama and Congress to work for “radical transformation to heal the long history of systemic racism so that all Americans have the equal right to live and to pursue happiness.”

Diggs, who plays both the Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson, will leave the Broadway show July 15, while Goldsberry, who plays Angelica Schuyler, will leave sometime this fall, her representative confirmed. The duo will be joining the recently departed creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, Leslie Odom Jr. and Phillipa Soo out the “Hamilton” door.

“Ghostbusters” star Melissa McCarthy told Entertainment Tonight that she agrees “one hundred thousand billion percent” with Aniston’s essay for the Huffington Post in which she writes constant paparazzi coverage contributes to a “dehumanizing view of females, focused solely on one’s physical appearance.”

“It’s a ridiculous thing,” McCarthy said Tuesday. “I just hope it gets to the point where it’s embarrassing for people to have such a shallow thought.”

Aniston also used the piece to shoot down pregnancy rumors, writing that she is “not pregnant” but often gets congratulated on being so “a dozen times in a single day.”

The column also has received positive mentions on Twitter from actor Jason Bateman and comedian Margaret Cho.

Many factors affect longevity Dear Dr. K: I’ve heard women tend to live longer than men. Why is that?

Dear Reader: On average, women do live about five years longer than men. In the United States, 57 percent of all who are ages 65 and older are female. By age 85, 67 percent are women. You can see this for yourself in most nursing homes or assisted living facilities in the United States: Women usually outnumber men, and the magnitude of the difference often is striking.

The ratio of men to women is roughly equal in young adulthood. So why does the ratio start to favor women over time? Among the most powerful factors are men tend to: • Take bigger risks. The part of the brain that controls judgment and consideration of an action’s consequences develops more slowly in boys and young men than in their female counterparts. This likely contributes to the fact far more boys and men die in accidents or due to violence. This tendency toward lack of judgment and consideration of consequences also might contribute to harmful lifestyle decisions among young men. Smoking or drinking to excess are two examples.

• Have more dangerous jobs. Men far outnumber women in some of the riskiest occupations. These include military combat, firefighting and working at construction sites.

• Die of heart disease more often and at a younger age. Men are 50 percent more likely than women to die of heart disease, although women start dying more frequently of heart disease after they reach their mid-60s.

• Commit suicide more often than women.

Depression is considered more common among women, and depression does cause some people to attempt suicide. Men are less likely to seek care for depression and

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff mental illness. And when men attempt suicide, it is much more likely to be fatal.

More than three times as many men die from suicide than women.

• Be less socially connected. People with fewer and weaker social connections tend to have higher death rates.

• Avoid doctors. Men are far more likely to skip routine health screens and are far less likely than women to have seen a doctor of any kind during the previous year.

Studies in animals indicate the females tend to have stronger immune systems. This means they are less likely to die of infections. (However, it also makes them more likely to develop autoimmune diseases.)

Whether this is a reason why women live longer than men is less clear.

There’s not much that can be done about some of these factors. But others are modifiable. For example, getting men to report symptoms (including depression) and regularly see a doctor for chronic medical problems could counter some of the tendency for them to die younger.

It’s also worth noting the survival gap between men and women reflects an average tendency among large numbers of people.

Obviously, and unfortunately, sometimes wives die before their husbands. But what you’ve heard is generally true: In the U.S. and other developed nations, women live longer than men.

weddings you have attended have. There are occasions when sometimes the less said the better, and this is one of them.

Dear Abby: I am a 22-year-old woman who enjoys achieving things in life. For example, I recently bought a house and paid for all the remodeling with my own money.

I have been with my boyfriend for seven years. He was my first boyfriend, first kiss, etc. and because of that, I have always felt a deep connection with him. My problem is he doesn’t have goals for the future and just lives his life a day at a time. He’s comfortable with his low-income job and doesn’t plan on going to school.

He moved into my house six months ago.

Something I absolutely adore about him is his loving nature. He drops whatever he is doing to be there for me emotionally. My question is, should I stay with my loving, caring boyfriend or is it time to find someone with the same goals I have? – Confused In Florida Dear Confused: Ask yourself which is more important to you – a loving and emotionally supportive spouse or a hard worker who might be less so. Only you can decide the answer to that question.

Dear Abby: I am the mom of three wonderful little girls, but as of late not so wonderful. My husband and I work hard to teach them manners and respect, but we can’t seem to get across to them to be grateful for what they have.

We don’t have a lot of money because we live on one income, and we don’t spoil them often because we can’t afford to. Twice now, one of my girls has been unhappy with a gift she received. The first one she threw away; the second she refused to even accept.

I thought about doing some volunteer work with them, but I fear they are too young for it (4, 7 and 9). – Grateful Mom In Colorado Dear Grateful Mom: Your 7- and 9-year-olds are not too young to learn many children have far less than they do. Sometimes people need to see with their own eyes the challenges others have to cope with in order to appreciate how fortunate they are. I think your idea of having them do some volunteer work with you is an excellent one, and it is not too early to start.

Dear Abby: We DEAR ABBY have been attending the weddings Jeanne of our friends’ Phillips children and work colleagues.

We enjoy them, but we have noticed a change in some of the traditions.

The best man’s and maid of honor’s toasts to the bride and groom seem to have devolved into telling stories about their past escapades. This includes tales of all-night partying, how drunk they were, other embarrassing incidents and “digs” at the bride and groom.

Abby, many guests attending these celebrations really don’t care to hear these kinds of things. Has this occasion turned into a roast? –

Zunkel’s energy level ‘through the roof’

New coach went 65-16, won Class 2A state championship at Mercer County

BY JOHN LAVACCARE

jlavaccare@shawmedia.com When new McHenry football coach Nat Zunkel walks into the locker room for summer practice, he makes an immediate impression on his players, according to senior linebacker and tight end Colton Folliard.

“First thing he does is he comes in the room screaming, clapping and getting everyone riled up,” Folliard said.

“It starts off the day to a great start.”

Zunkel’s energy during the dog days of summer workouts has inspired players such as senior linebacker and fullback Kyle Lim. “His energy level is like through the roof,” Lim said. “He’s ready to work every single day, ready to pump us up.

He strongly believes that if we have a positive mindset, and we’re ready to go, and we’re as excited as he is, we’re

LOCAL SPORTS BRIEF

D-C’s Anderson, CLC’s Schurter leaders in junior amateur

BULL VALLEY – Dundee-Crown junior JP Anderson fired a 4-over-par 75 in the first round of the McHenry County Junior Amateur on Wednesday at Boone Creek Golf Club and leads the boys senior division by one stroke heading into Thursday’s final round.

Anderson, a Northwest Herald all-area honorable mention selection last year, recorded two birdies and is one shot ahead of Hampshire senior Myles Miller, who had three birdies and carded a 76.

Jacobs’ Daniel Leitner and Prairie Ridge’s Jason Giffels each shot 77s and are tied for third, and Prairie Ridge’s James Michaelson (79) is four shots back in fifth place.

• WARRIORS

Crystal Lake Central junior Rylie Schurter shot a 3-over 74 in the girls senior division and has an eight-stroke lead heading into Day 2. McHenry’s Maddie Ogden (82) is in second place, and Jacobs’ Stephanie Fiorentino (84) is third.

Crystal Lake South sophomore Casey Hunter shot a 75 to pace the boys junior division, one shot ahead of Cary-Grove’s Trevor Brandon (76) and two in front of Wauconda’s Matt Szmajda (77).

Crystal Lake Central’s Renata Petersen leads the junior girls division with a 46 in nine holes, followed by Neha Karna (47) and Lauren Kempf (48).

The second round starts at 8 a.m.

Continued from page 2 “Everything’s more punctual,” Lim said. “You have a set time for this, we can’t go past this time, no matter what ended. He’s just really, really good at managing time. ...

He treats us with respect, as adults and everything. But if we step out of line, or if we don’t respect him, then he knows what to do, he knows how to [give] constructive criticism, that kind of thing.”

Zunkel said he emphasizes that even with the structure imposed by coaches, it ultimately is up to the players to what extent they will take advantage of their summer downtime.

“We talk about the kids owning their work ethic, owning their attitude in the summer, respecting the

program, and really focusing on self-improvement in everything during this time that we’re together, and not just athletics, but in character-building and things of that circumstance, as well,” Zunkel said.

For Lim, the fresh start with a new coaching staff presents a unique opportunity to help McHenry football get back on track toward the success it experienced in 20 consecutive playoff appearances from 1988 through 2007.

“I really think that this season can be really special,” Lim said. “Our whole team’s goal is to get to the playoffs. ... If we can do that, that’s the ignition to restarting the winning tradition. I would love to be known as the team, as the generation, as the class that really turned around the program. That would be something that would be really special to me.”

Regulations on the number of pitches high school baseball pitchers can throw and the amount of rest they must get between games have been discussed in Illinois for some time. Now, thanks to a new rule passed by the National Federation of High Schools, these regulations will be mandatory in all states for the 2017 baseball season.

“We’re pleased that the rules committee worked in conjunction with the NFHS Sports Medicine Advisory Committee to find an acceptable and reasonable modification to this rule in order to emphasis the risk that occurs when pitchers overuse their throwing arm,” said Elliot Hopkins, NFHS director of sports and student services and staff liaison for baseball, in a news release.

The NFHS will allow each state to create its own regulations in regards to pitch counts. The IHSA has planned to discuss the topic in August. CaryGrove baseball coach Don Sutherland said the change had been on the IHSA’s radar for many years.

“Based on the statistics ... on the number of kids having Tommy John surgery at high school age, I’m sure they felt a rule needed to be put in place,” Sutherland said. “The statistics dictated something being considered.”

Several coaches, including Sutherland and Richmond-Burton coach Mike Giese, do not normally use a set pitch count limit, but a range of pitch counts, judging for themselves how far a pitcher can go within that range based on a number of variables.

“When a kid gets near 100, we’re taking him out,” Sutherland said. “Not at

then probably 105 is an OK piece. And I don’t know how they’re going to write all of that into the rules. I mean, it’s going to be tough.”

Wisconsin recently enacted a pitch count rule that will limit pitchers to a maximum of 100 pitches a game, and also includes a sliding scale of required days’ rest based on pitch count, including four days’ rest for those pitchers who throw 75 pitches or more. If Illinois implemented such a rule, it would eliminate coaches’ ability to throw starting pitchers in relief in between starts.

“Every pitcher, in between starts, has to throw,” Sutherland said. “If it’s that third day and the pitcher needs a bullpen, why can’t that bullpen be on the mound? ... That’s why the rule isn’t going to be perfect. It’s to protect kids for sure, which everyone understands and wants to do. But it’s a tough decision for every state to make, that decision, which is can we allow a kid to get one inning of relief in in between there? Because they are pitching bullpens, and intense bullpens aren’t that unusual.”

Now that the rule change is assured, the IHSA will turn its attention to opinions on what the details of the new rules should be. Giese said he hopes the new rules account for the variety of possible scenarios that could interfere Sarah Nader file photo – snader@shawmedia.com with pitching decisions.

“Honestly, I don’t know what the McHenry’s Bobby Miller throws a pitch against Richmond-Burton on March 15 at Petersen Park in McHenry. The National Federation of State High School Associations has di- perfect answer is,” Giese said. “The rected its members to regulate the number of pitches a high school player can throw in problem you don’t want to get into is, rain, there’s so many variables in the a game amid growing concerns about overworking young arms. spring, pitching, with baseball.

Sweden defenseman Gustav Forsling (left) is congratulated by teammates after scoring on Russia at the World Junior Hockey Championships on Dec. 29, 2014, in Toronto.

If he doesn’t make the Hawks, Forsling will head back to Sweden for another year rather than play in Rockford (he had six goals and 15 assists in 48 games last year). He’s fine with that, and the Hawks are fine with that. But Forsling is hoping that when he comes back across the Atlantic in September, he’ll be here to stay.

“Yeah, I mean, why not?” Forsling said at Hawks prospect camp at John-

When a company has been in business for over 100 years, it’s usually not a secret as to why it’s so popular. Home State Bank has been an integral part of Crystal Lake and the surrounding communities since 1915, and each year finds it even more beloved and appreciated.

One major reason for Home State’s success is its commitment to the community.

In 2016, Home State was recognized as “One of the Best Most Charitable Companies” by the Best of the Fox Awards. From contests and hometown parades to Teacher of the Year Awards and Senior Class Club, Home State and its employees are a vital part of what makes their hometown great.

Another way Home State gets involved in the community is by sponsoring local fundraising events. HSB was one of the largest sponsors of Crystal Lake’s Lakeside Festival over July 4th weekend. In addition to financial sponsorship, Home State employees volunteered their time

by serving refreshments at the Hospitality tent and by counting revenue in the office. Home State is also a Silver Sponsor for Fiesta Days, McHenry festival, from Friday, July 15th Sunday, July 24th.

“We take pride in being present and active in community events,” said Robert Cormier, Jr., Executive Vice President of Home State Bank. “Those who appreciate the community bank environment enjoy banking with people they see every day, who take interest in their lives and their families. They know us very well, and they trust us.”

Home State is a community bank that truly gives back. Whether they’re involved with the Bob Blazier Run for the Arts, the Woodstock Clearing House/Rotary Club event, or contributing to countless charitable events taking place in McHenry county each year, Home State employees are present and volunteering their time and talents to benefit a broad cross-section of the community.

The deadline for requesting 2017 contributions, sponsorships and grants from Home State Bank is December 1, 2016.

CHICAGO – It wasn’t long ago the Detroit Red Wings were Sweden’s unofficial NHL team, a wildly successful franchise loaded with Swedish talent. But the Wings’ old rival has supplanted them.

“The Blackhawks have taken over now,” Gustav Forsling said. “All the hats you see are Blackhawks, more and more. That’s good. I like that.”

Sweden loves the Hawks because the Hawks love Sweden – particularly Swedish defensemen. And Forsling might be the next one to crack the lineup, after the likes of Niklas Hjalmarsson, Johnny Oduya, David Rundblad, Erik Gustafsson, Viktor Svedberg. The smooth-skating Forsling just turned 20 last month, but is arguably the top defensive prospect in the system right now – and a dark horse to make the team out of training camp this fall.

AHL veteran Ville Pokka (who missed prospects camp with a lower-body injury) might be the most NHL-ready of the next generation at the moment, but many within the Hawks organization feel Forsling has the highest ceiling.

season, seem destined to spend much of the season in the AHL. But one of coach Joel Quenneville’s favorite adages is that you never can have too many defensemen. The Hawks used 11 defensemen last season, and 13 the year before that.

Forsling’s time might not be now, but it’ll be soon.

“Over the course of a year, you need 10 or 11 defensemen,” general manager Stan Bowman said. “You can never have too many guys.”

Forsling’s not complaining about the sudden logjam ahead of him on the blue line. Chicago is where he wanted to be, and he welcomed the trade Jan. 29, 2015, that sent Adam Clendening to the Canucks and Forsling to the Hawks. Like so many puck-moving defensemen before him, Forsling feels the Hawks’ quick-thinking, quick-passing style suits his game.

“I like the game plan they have here, and they like Swedish defensemen,” Forsling said with a smile. “[The depth chart] doesn’t matter. I need to play my best game to take a spot in the NHL. Of course, it’s getting even harder now, but if I’m going to play in the NHL, I have to be NHL good. And that’s up to me.”

SPORTS BRIEFS

Brady’s ‘Deflategate’ appeal rejected by federal court

NEW YORK – Quarterback Tom Brady’s last best chance to avoid serving a four-game “Deflategate” suspension to start the new season was flatly rejected Wednesday by an appeals court.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan issued a one-sentence rejection of requests by the National Football League Players Association and Tom Brady to reconsider an April decision that reinstated the suspension.

“We are disappointed,” the players association said in a statement. “The track record of this league office when it comes to matters of player discipline is bad for our business and bad for our game. We have a broken system that must be fixed.”

It added that it will review its options carefully.

The NFL declined comment.

James leads call to end gun violence at ESPY Awards

LOS ANGELES – LeBron James won five trophies, including best male athlete and best NBA player, at the ESPY Awards on Wednesday night when frivolity gave way to a James-led call to end gun violence and racial profiling.

The show honoring the year’s best athletes and sports moments opened on a somber note, with James and fellow NBA stars Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade standing four abreast on stage addressing the recent shootings of blacks by white police officers.

“The urgency to create change is at an all-time high,” Anthony said.

racial profiling, a shoot-to-kill mentality and “not seeing the value of black and brown bodies.”

“Enough is enough,” he said.

James echoed Wade, noting, “We all feel helpless and frustrated by the violence.”

James urged his fellow pros to educate themselves and renounce violence while using their resources and time to help strengthen and rebuild their communities.

Deonte Thompson has a speed element that makes him a factor. Cameron Meredith has good size for the outside. Then there’s rookie Daniel Braverman, who was incredibly productive in college. The return competition will help sort this out, but the Bears have options here, and it’s an important competition to monitor considering the injury histories of the top three pass-catchers.

Steve Sarley with Amy and Drew Montgomery being interviewed by Chris Jones on the weigh-in stage at the ICAST Cup Tournament.

Drew Montgomery proved to be a darned good fisherman. We fished plastics all day and got a limit of fish, but not enough weight to score high.

The final results aren’t available yet, but we were around the middle of the field. Dave Kranz from Dave’s Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy finished much higher, probably near the top 10.

A panicky moment occurred during the day when Drew impaled Amy’s arm with a big hook on a plastic frog.

He really buried it. It was in past the barb. Amy calmly said, “Drew, look what’s happening here. I need your help.”

In a show of true love, Amy sat quietly while Drew iced her arm to kill the pain and then he pushed the big hook through her skin making a second puncture. He then used a bolt cutter to snip the hook and remove the shaft from her arm.

All the while, his wife said nary a word. I was impressed by her grit. For the rest of the day the incident was hardly mentioned again except for one time. On the stage at the weigh-in, Amy happened to tell the emcee, Chris Jones, that her husband had caught a 5-foot long, 150-pound beauty, but it didn’t count in the tournament. It was a great time.

FISHING REPORT Northern Illinois: Dave Kranz from

Dave’s Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in

Crystal Lake reports: “Fishing at all of the dams, McHenry, Algonquin and Carpentersville, is great for catfish.

The night bite is the best, but channel cats can be caught during the day.

Stink bait and cut bait would be my best recommendation.

“Vulcan Lakes at Crystal Lake’s Three Oaks Recreation Area and Lake Atwood in the McHenry County Conservation Area at the Hollows both are reclaimed gravel pits and both do not allow minnows. During the hot summer, fish go deep, except when we get heavy rains. The rains will oxygenate the upper two feet of the water and fish can be found in very shallow water. Senkos, buzzbaits and top-water baits all will work well for bass. Call 815-455-2040 for an update on any of these reported areas.”

Geneva and Delavan: Our electronics expert, Mark O’Neill, sends this Lake Geneva report: “It has been a challenging year thus far for smallmouth on Lake Geneva. I’ve caught many, but they have all been smaller fish.

It was nice to see some bigger girls coming in on Sunday, up to 21 inches.

We also caught a mix of largemouth and pike, a decent day on the water.

Water temperatures around the lake are at 76 degrees as summer sets into full motion, so we might actually see a normal summerlike pattern this year. The larger smallmouth were off

deeper structure edges in depths from 26 to 30 feet. The smallmouth bass are active and chasing, which is good to see. I can’t say this enough, to make a more productive day on the water, use your electronics to eliminate dead water and find fish, no sense fishing where the fish are not.

Chain O’Lakes: Chris Taurisano of T-Bone Guide Service (www.tboneguideservice.com – 630-330-0090) sends word, “This week on the Chain brought slower action than what had previously been happening. Trolling along wind-blown shores and also jigging with quarter-ounce jigs with nightcrawlers did the trick for multiple species. Muskies were taking topwater baits on somedays while on others, swim baits and rubber baits were more productive. The trolling bite was still on, but not as strong as it had been previously. I am looking forward to some stable weather and a better bite happening in the next week.

Lake Michigan: The Lake Michigan Fishing Report is provided by Captain Bob Rossa of Migrator Charters – 815338-8093. “Fishing has remained good in the Illinois waters of Lake Michigan this past week. Catches have included Cohoes, kings, steelhead and lake trout. The best water level has been 40 to 90 feet of water in the morning and 90 to 130 feet later in the day. A white flasher with white fly, and Moonshine’s Green Jeans spoon have been very good baits for all species. A few brown trout have been taken by the shore fishermen this past week.”

NEWS AND NOTES Muskies get fed: Hats off to the Fox

River Valley Chapter of Muskies, Inc., for feeding the fish. As most of you are aware, the state of Illinois is not paying its bills because of the stalemate over the budget and lack of financial resources. The seriousness of the problem hit the muskie community last week when the Illinois Muskie Alliance found out that the Illinois Department of Natural Resources could not feed the muskies in the Jake Wolf Hatchery because the state owed the feed supplier a little more than $1,800 for a number of months. He would not provide any more feed unless he was paid. The FRV Board stepped in and wrote a check to the supplier clearing the unpaid balance. The little muskies now will be fed and soon will be stocked in Illinois lakes.

I am writing this from a hotel room in Orlando, Florida, as I wait for the opening of the International Convention of Allied Sportfishing Trades convention, the world’s largest exhibition of fishing gear, accessories and apparel. It is an industry convention and is not OUTDOORS open to the public, Steve but 3,000 Sarley representatives of the global sportfishing community converged on the Orange County Convention Center.

The first evening featured the New Product Showcase. This year, 270 companies submitted 889 products in the New Product Showcase, all vying for the “Best of Show” award in 24 categories and for the overall ICAST 2015 “Best of Show” award. This event is a big deal to these folks. The New Product Showcase is a special section of ICAST’s half million-square-foot show floor, and media and tackle buyers participate in the selection process. I’ll talk about the winners at a later date.

I was invited to fish in the ICAST Cup, an industry bass fishing tournament presented by FLW on the legendary Lake Toho out of Kissimmee. This event pairs professional anglers with media representatives and industry professionals, three fishermen to a boat.

I got to fish with FLW pro Drew Montgomery and his sponsor, Amy Montgomery from Warehouse Supplies On-line. Notice the similarity in names? Drew and Amy are husband and wife, and are one of the most adorable couples you’d ever want to fish with.

Amy started her company four years ago to tremendous success.

Drew has been a full-time guide on his home body of water, North Carolina’s Lake Norman, for 20 years. Amy has an incredible passion for sales and her career. She rarely fishes, but when she does fish with Drew, she says, “He transforms in front of my eyes. I can truly see that this is what he is meant to do. Drew is a wonderful man, and fishing is what makes him that.

“Drew is kind of known as the fishing comedian,” she said. “He is really funny and isn’t afraid to speak his mind. That’s not all he is. Has a huge heart and always goes out of his way to help others. One time, he was in a huge tournament and gave up his fishing time to help his co-angler have a chance to win a boat. He thought that could change the boy’s life. He got the boy the win and the kid got the boat. His whole family was overjoyed, and Drew felt so good about it. That’s what he is really all about.”

Chicago ballparks ban smokeless tobacco New ordinance met with mixed reactions from Cubs, Sox

By JOSH TOLENTINO

jtolentino@suntimes.com Major League Baseball in Chicago is singing a new tune – “Take Me Out of the Ball Game” – when it comes to smokeless tobacco.

Chaw and dip have been staples in dugouts just as much as peanuts and Cracker Jacks in the stands.

But when the Cubs return to Wrigley Field on Friday – and the White Sox return to U.S. Cellular Field on July 21 – the use of smokeless tobacco products will be illegal at both ballparks, along with all “professional and amateur” sporting events in Chicago.

The city council approved the tobacco ban in March, and it officially went into effect Tuesday during the All-Star break.

The new ordinance has brought mixed reactions from both clubhouses.

Sox catcher Alex Avila, a smokeless user, insists players will break the ban.

“They just want to make sure it’s not visible,” Avila said. “For some guys, it might push them to quit. For others, it won’t.”

Cubs catcher and tobacco user Miguel Montero took a lighter view.

“Rules are rules, and rules are meant to be broken,” Montero said with a laugh. “But, seriously, we’ve got to follow the rules. It’s going to be tough to quit.”

The law is a result of lobbying by Ald. EdMiguel ward M. Burke (14th) Montero and the Washington, D.C.-based Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, which has targeted MLB because of the game’s historic relationship with chewing tobacco.

“Our national pastime should be about promoting a healthy and active lifestyle, not a deadly and addictive product,” said Matthew L. Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.

Chicago becomes the fifth major league city to implement the tobacco

ban, joining Boston, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco.

“We can’t change their minds,” Sox infielder Tyler Saladino said.

“I’ve worked my whole life to reach the highest professional level of baseball, and I’m not going to stop something I’ve been doing this whole time.”

Whether that means getting their fix of chaw at home, the hotel or within the privacy of the clubhouse, the Cubs, Sox and all visiting teams must adjust to the ban or face fines.

A first offense will result in a fine of $250, a second violation $500 and each additional violation $2,500. Players seen using smokeless tobacco on Chicago ballpark grounds also are subject to discipline from MLB commissioner Rob Manfred.

“Guys know what the consequences are, and they should know to use it outside the field now,” said Sox shortstop Tim Anderson, a nonuser. “I don’t think the ban will have a huge effect on our guys.”

Chewing tobacco has a multitude of negative health effects, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ranging from nicotine

addiction to cancer of the esophagus, mouth and pancreas. Still, the product remains a legal substance, and players know its effects.

“We’re grown men,” Cubs pitcher John Lackey, a nonuser, said during spring training when the law passed.

“People in the stands can have a beer, but we can’t do what we want? That’s a little messed up.”

MLB banned smokeless tobacco in 1993 at the minor league level, but it remains in use in the majors.

In 2011, the collective-bargaining agreement prohibited players from carrying tobacco tins and pouches in the pockets of their uniforms.

New signs detailing the ban have been posted in dugouts, bullpens and clubhouses at Wrigley Field and U.S. Cellular Field.

Cubs ace Jake Arrieta supports the ban and has cut back significantly on using chewing tobacco, but the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner still sneaks in an occasional pinch.

“I really hate that I do dip,” Arrieta said. “I think it’s a good thing that they’re trying to take it out of the game.”

This beautiful girl was born at the home of a good Samaritan along with her two brothers. Her mother was found as a stray and taken in. The woman did not know she was already pregnant. After the kittens were born she could not take care of all of them so Helping Paws took them. The kittens were about a month old so they needed more time with their mother. Quin's two brothers were just recently adopted so she is the last of the litter. Quin was the most shy of the three and she still is a little shy now. She is very sweet with volunteers and has made great strides in trusting everyone. As you can see she has light green eyes, great tabby markings and the "M" on her forehead. When you enter Kittyland you can usually find her up high watching all the action. She loves the other young adults and teens in the room and you can find them sleeping together or playing with each other. She will join in play if you bring in a laser or feather toy. Please come meet her at Helping Paws located at 2500 Harding Lane, Woodstock, Illinois. Our number is 815-3384400 and our website is www.helpingpaws.net.

‘Ghostbusters’ takes aim at misogyny and scores

By JAKE COYLE Associated Press

The easy, electric chemistry of the four leads in Paul Feig’s “Ghostbusters” acts like a firewall against the supernatural and the adolescent, alike, in this spirited reboot of the 1984 original.

Ghouls and anonymous Internet commentators – who have flocked to their thumbs-down buttons ahead of the film’s release – share plenty of characteristics. Each is likely to drool and quick to disappear when you turn on the lights. Feig’s “Ghostbusters” ain’t afraid of either.

Why should he be, anyway? In his corner he has the best comic actor of the decade, Melissa McCarthy, the klutzy wit of Kristen Wiig, “Saturday Night Live” standout Kate McKinnon and the big-screen breakthrough of Leslie Jones, the film’s secret weapon.

His “Ghostbusters” makes some winks to the uproar that preceded his gender-swapping film, but it mostly steers straight ahead, too busy being funny to worry much about misogynist detractors. It does, however, pay a lot – too much – attention to placating fans with the familiar showdowns and

“GHOSTBUSTERS” STARRING: Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones PLOT: Following a ghost invasion of Manhattan, paranormal enthusiasts Erin Gilbert and Abby Yates, nuclear engineer Jillian Holtzmann, and subway worker Patty Tolan band together to stop the otherworldly threat.

RATED: PG-13 for supernatural action and some crude humor RUNNING TIME: 1 hours, 56 minutes iconography of the original two films.

I proudly was raised on Bill Murray comedies, but the preciousness many have over a “Ghostbusters” remake is nevertheless mystifying. This isn’t “Stripes” we’re talking about here.

Ivan Reitman’s “Ghostbusters” – equal parts spectacle and deadpan, inspired by “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein” – was good, all right, but it wasn’t some sanctified ground never to be trod on again. It already spawned a mediocre sequel, after all.

Here, the iconic ambulance has been traded for a borrowed hearse and cameos from original stars (excepting Harold Ramis, who died in 2014) have awkwardly been forced in. The team,

once assembled, is astonished at the sky-high rent required for the original’s firehouse and instead relocates to a Chinatown office above a takeout joint.

After an early ghost sighting (featuring an excellent Zach Woods) and the familiar synths of Ray Parker Jr.’s theme, screenwriters Feig and Katie Dippold bring the foursome together.

Wiig is a physics professor trying to make tenure at Columbia but she’s disgraced by her latent belief in the paranormal. Her old friend, Abby (McCarthy, reliably solid if somewhat restrained), has stayed on the case, though, with her eccentric gizmo-making sidekick, Jillian (McKinnon). The bug-eyed, fizzy-haired McKinnon is like a blow torch of steampunk fire.

Jones, who plays a subway worker, might have been expected to be the broadest performer of the bunch given the knockout punch of her “SNL” ap-

pearances, but her character is impressively grounded. She’s the best of the quartet, though Feig doesn’t give her enough to do later in the film.

Big-budget special effects are the enemy of comedy. In a sense, this “Ghostbusters,” which swells to a bloated CGI finale in Times Square, has overpowered one Hollywood specter – sexism – only to be stifled by another: the allpowerful force of franchise-making.

Still, the freewheeling and funny solidarity of the four leads win out in the end. It feels a little like this “Ghostbusters” was a cultural test we (not the movie) already have failed. Feig’s film may be a feminist milestone: a big ol’ popcorn movie taken over by women, (something that should have happened long ago and engendered far less vitriol). But it’s also simply a breezy good time, one that just happens to culminate with four very funny ladies shooting a monster in the balls.

‘ART’

‘Art’ invokes laughs, thought at CL Raue REVIEWS Paul Lockwood

“An artist never really finishes his work, he merely abandons it.” – Paul Valery, French poet

This quote, displayed at the beginning of the Williams Street Repertory’s new production of “Art,” the 1998 Tony Award Best Play winner by Yasmina Reza, could refer to the piece of art at the center of this show’s plot. After all, since it’s an all-white painting with barely discernible white lines, is it something that was never finished by the artist or something that was never even started? Is there any possible way it could be worth a small fortune to an art collector? What if the art collector’s friends have different opinions?

Serge (Tod Kent) is quite proud of his buy and shows it to one of his best friends, Marc (James Turano). Marc thinks Serge is crazy for having spent 200,000 francs (roughly $30,000 to $40,000 back in the days before the euro replaced the French franc).

Marc laughs loudly at the painting and the purchaser, calling the artwork a four-letter word I can’t use here. Understandably, Serge doesn’t join in the laughter. Marc subsequently shares the story with Yvan (Ivan Ewert), a mutual friend, encouraging Yvan to visit Serge and see for himself the absurdity of the purchase. Yvan, who’s getting married in a couple of weeks, does go to see Serge, but doesn’t have strong thoughts about the painting, letting his

friends individually sway him. Of course, Yvan’s attempts to keep everyone happy don’t satisfy anyone, and the audience wonders if the bonds holding these friends together will dissolve.

At this point, you may be saying, “This sounds like a pretty serious show, but it’s a comedy?” Yes, it is, and, yes, it is.

“Art” is a fast-paced, dialogue-rich, humor-infused drama for adults that gives the actors the chance to show their comedic and dramatic skills, whether through revealing monologues to the audience, one-on-one conversations or a climactic scene at Serge’s apartment. In that final scene – the longest – Serge, Marc and Yvan relate to each other on a level of honesty and emotion far beyond their norm.

Running slightly more than 75 minutes without an intermission, “Art” is shorter than most movies nowadays, but, under the direction of Michele Vazquez and through excellent performances from the three leads, the audience still gets to know each of these characters very well. A perfect example is Ewert’s initially laid-back character, Yvan. He becomes a bundle of nerves whose approaching wedding is leaving him more unhinged than usual, thanks to his demanding wife-to-be and both of their families. The last thing he needs is to see his two best friends verbally attacking each other and occasionally turning their sharp words on him. When Yvan arrives late for a night out with Serge and Marc, Ewert’s rocket-speed-delivered monologue about the reason for Yvan’s tardiness is a humor highlight, bringing sustained applause from the opening-night audience.

As the final scene plays out, it’s Yvan the

WHEN: Through July 31 WHERE: Raue Center for the Arts, 26 N. William St. COST & INFO: Produced by Williams Street Repertory. Schedule: 8 p.m. July 16, 22, 30; 3 p.m. July 17, 23, 31. Tickets start at $32.50. Tickets and information: 815-3569212 or www.rauecenter.org. audience empathizes with the most. Give credit to both Turano and Kent as well; their mutual antagonism/condescension has just the right undertone of respect so I never felt they’d be better off as ex-friends.

This is not a show for young children.

A couple of four-letter profanities are used multiple times, and the plot is dialoguedriven with very little action. Also, the subject matter is likely to fly over their heads; heck, I even had to refresh my own memory on who Seneca is after several references to his writings.

In the Christopher Hampton translation of Reza’s play, the dialogue is intelligent and witty. Very few shows can incorporate everything from “I felt a resonance” to “What role could an amoeba play?” to a comment on Serge’s pretentious use of the word “deconstruction” – “You picked a word from ‘Builders Weekly!’ ” If you’re interested in a play that will make you laugh and think, see “Art.” It’s “easel-y” worth the cost of a ticket.

• Paul Lockwood is a past president of TownSquare Players and an occasional community theater actor in McHenry County, appearing in more than two dozen plays and musicals since he and his wife moved to Woodstock 15 years ago. Recent productions in which he’s acted include “Into the Woods,” “The Drowsy Chaperone” and “A Christmas Carol” (2014) at the Woodstock Opera House. He’s also done “Get Lit” dramatic readings at Le Petit Marché.

Musical for a cause

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com It’s only fitting a relatively new Crystal Lake-based dinner theater company would take on a production that’s all about adventure.

Created last year by Steve Connell, the Right-Center-Left Production Company will open the classic musical “Hello Dolly!” July 15 at RidgefieldCrystal Lake Presbyterian Church, 8505 Church St., Crystal Lake.

Just as creating a dinner theater at a church was quite an undertaking, so is “Hello Dolly!,” which first appeared on Broadway more than 50 years ago.

But it’s nothing they can’t handle, those involved say.

“It’s a big musical, with a lot of costumes and a larger cast,” said Barry Norton, the director of “Hello Dolly!”

“I’ve worked in smaller spaces.

I knew I was capable of doing that production on that stage,” he said.

“I had full confidence it would come together.”

The production runs through July 31, with tickets ranging in cost from $15 to $40. Similar to the company’s first production last summer, the money raised from the dinner portion of the tickets will go to charity, in-

W E N

cluding PADS, Living Waters for the World and Diaper Bank this year.

Last year’s production raised about $3,300 for charity, Connell said.

A nonprofit professional theater company with the actors and others involved getting paid a small portion of the ticket sale proceeds, Connell aimed to raise money for charities and missions supported by the church when he began RCLPC. (He chose the RCLPC name both because its initials match those of the church and because “Right-Center-Left” represents the fact the theater group is all-inclusive.)

“There are theater groups in the area, but this is something different,” Norton said.

“This is something Steve built himself . . . and every weekend goes to a different charity. That’s what it’s really about.”

“Hello Dolly!” was Norton’s first theater experience in high school.

“Every lead character mentions adventure,” said Norton, who formerly lived in Cary and now lives in Arlington Heights. “They’re all looking for adventure. It’s all an adventure.”

Along with the cast, Norton credits the show’s choreographer Joclyn France with her creativity staging big

Starring as Dolly, Mary Barrett of West Dundee said she jumped at the chance to play the character she always has admired.

A middle-aged woman, Dolly sees those around her finding love and

adventure and eventually seeks it herself, she said.

“It’s all about rejoining life when maybe you’ve gone through a period of introspection,” Barrett said. “She’s decided just to jump back in, which I think is wonderful.”

La Torre looks to create ‘experience’ at Fiesta Days

MORE SOUNDS NEWS & REVIEWS NWHerald.com

By JAMI KUNZER

As lead singer of Queensryche, Todd La Torre knows what it’s like to have a song take you back to a teenage cruise with a best friend.

He was that teen, listening on cassette tape to the very heavy metal band he now fronts – his favorite band since the age of 14.

“I met those guys [the band] when I was a teenager and saw them sell out the arena where I live,” said La Torre, who joined the band about four years ago and has released two albums with Queensryche – the latest, “Condition Human,” landed at No. 27 on the Billboard 200 last year.

Did he think back then he’d be the band’s lead singer? “[expletive] no,” he said. “I never thought I would even know them, let alone sing in the band.”

La Torre, the former lead singer of Crimson Glory, is all about making new music and fans these days as the band works on a new album and tours – including a July 15 stop at Fiesta Days in McHenry. But he knows the value of fans who’ve followed Queensryche since the band’s beginning in 1982 with the release of a self-titled four-song EP that launched them into sold-out arenas.

He was one of those fans. And so when he and the rest of the band takes the stage at Fiesta Days, you can bet

For a complete Fiesta Days schedule, see page 13. they’ll play old favorites – such as 1990’s hit “Silent Lucidity” off the album, “Empire” – along with their new songs.

“Some people will criticize, ‘That’s just nostalgia. They’re living off the past,’ ” he said. “Well, ... everybody is. … Every band you go see built a career on big hits, and that’s how a lot of people know these songs. To me, it’s like what’s wrong with that. ...

“I love it when I see a band and they play something old school, and it takes me right back to a time when I was younger and I had more time in life to do things and people alive who are no longer alive. It’s that connection.

That’s a very powerful connection to make with somebody. … To see the band, to take all that in, that’s a pretty unique experience. There’s not a lot of bands that can do that.”

La Torre now sees generations of fans at Queensryche concerts, parents bringing their children, who sing along with all the songs.

That, to him, is a mark of true success.

“That’s a testament to any band’s music when you start crossing generations. It’s not like you were a band and, a few years later, you were in the

FIESTA DAYS: QUEENSRYCHE WHEN: 9:15 p.m. July 15 WHERE: Petersen Park, McHenry COST & INFO: The band behind several Top 10 hard rock anthems and 11 gold and platinum plaques will perform as part of Fiesta Days’ Music Fest.

bargain bin and nobody gives a [expletive],” he said.

Queensryche hails from the days of rock giants such as Iron Maiden, Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, Judas Priest and Def Leppard. These were bands instantly known when their songs came on the radio, La Torre said.

There’s not much of that these days, he said.

“Now, when I turn on the radio I don’t know who it is, not because I’m not current with the music, even though I’m not, but from a sound perspective, that singer sounds like every other singer. It’s really hard to have that identity or I’m not seeing it,” he said.

As for Queensryche, the band’s not done creating, La Torre said, looking to make each new album unique from the rest.

Queensryche’s already performed with many of those bands he grew up rocking out to in the car.

“The band’s done everything and come full circle,” he said. “Just to do this for a living is all we could ask for.”

From her teenage years opening for acts such as John Denver, Steve Martin and Harry Chapin to her Four Bitchin’ Babes folk group, Megon McDonough always has sought to create music with meaning.

That’s the type of music she intends to perform July 16 when she takes the Woodstock Opera House For a complete Stage as Woodstock Folk a sort of kick-off to a Festival schedule, day’s worth see page 15. of performances July 17 on the Woodstock Square and at nearby Stage Left Café during the Woodstock Folk Festival.

From the heartfelt to the funny to the poetic, the music of the Woodstock Folk Festival – with acts such as Tret Fure, Hounds of Finn, Woody Pines and more – aims to entice people of all ages.

“What’s particularly sweet about the Woodstock Folk Festival is that the charm of the Square will always have a very special and warm place in my heart,” said McDonough, who grew up on the outskirts of Crystal Lake as the seventh of nine children and now lives in Wilmette, serving as the director of music for the Unity Northwest Church in Des Plaines.

“This is music that is music with meaning,” she said of the festival.

McDonough will perform at 8 p.m. July 16 at the Opera House, with tickets costing $23. The Woostock Folk Festival will take place from noon to 6 p.m. July 17. Donations of $15 for adults, $25 for a family and $10 for students and seniors are suggested.

diverse lineup on the Woodstock Square, along with a children’s area with handson crafts and activities, as well as an open mic stage at Stage Left Café.

Presenting “A Girl & Her Guitar,” McDonough describes her show as a musical memoir, a variation of an actual musical memoir she’s written called “How Ringo Saved Me From a Life in the Convent.”

Yes, she was inspired by The Beatles growing up.

She’s performed folk music since an early age, winning a WLS radio talent contest at age 14. Among the prizes was a recording contract with Mercury Records.

Through the years, she’s released 13 solo albums and is best known for her song “Amazing Things.”

Along with The Beatles, she said her love of music – folk music in particular – grew out of hearing Janice Ian’s “Society’s Child” on pop radio.

“I became a folk singer when I realized,

Tickets and information: 815-338-5300 or www.woodstockoperahouse.com.

‘Oh my gosh, the lyrics are so important,’” she said.

At the Opera House show, she said she intends to intertwine her music with stories of her past and present.

One Day Only: First Annual Courtyard Walk in Woodstock, Illinois

Maples at the Sonatas to Host Unique “Courtyard Walk” Event on Saturday, July 23rd During the Courtyard Walk event, the Woodstock community known for maintenance-free ranch style living will have two new decorated models open to tour in addition to eight homeowners’ courtyards. This event, taking place on Saturday, July 23rd from noon to 5:00 PM, will provide prospective buyers with a rare glimpse inside of the community.

Maples at the Sonatas offers maintenance-free ranch homes in a charming clubhouse community. Highlights of the community include two to three bedroom homes with spacious living areas, seasonal verandas, private outdoor living spaces, a community clubhouse, outdoor pool, and on-site fitness center. Located just minutes from entertainment, shop-

ping, dining and more, Maples at the Sonatas is the ideal place to begin the next stage of life.

The greatest aspect of the Maples at the Sonatas lifestyle is that it is maintenance-free. A professional association handles tasks such as lawn mowing, weed control, landscape maintenance, exterior building maintenance, and snow removal. Wilcox Communities, a family-owned builder, feels that providing residents with a maintenance-free lifestyle allows them the time to enjoy the aspects of life that are most important to them. As they like to say, “We do the work. You do the living.”

At Maples at the Sonatas there are

five different floorplans available, ranging in size from approximately 1,500 to 2,900 square feet. Open layouts and gourmet kitchens allow each home to easily and comfortably host friends and family, while sunrooms and personalized outdoor spaces allow owners to extend their living space in a way that suits their individual needs and lifestyles.

Summer is the perfect time to get out and explore this distinctive community. Mark your calendar for the Courtyard Walk on July 23rd from noon to 5:00 PM at 645 Handel Lane in Woodstock, Illinois. For more information, call (815) 334-0340 or visit WilcoxCommunities.com.

ROOFING & SHEET METAL SERVICE ESTIMATOR / SALES

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “The foolish man wonders at the unusual, but the wise man at the usual.”

The unfoolish bridge player wonders at the unusual and the usual.

But today’s article features Unusual versus Unusual. Your partner opens one of a major, and the next player overcalls two no-trump, the Unusual No-trump showing at least 5-5 in the minors. Then, it would be foolish for the responder’s bids of three clubs and three diamonds to be natural. Instead, many pairs play that a three-club cue-bid keys to hearts and three diamonds to spades. If partner opened one heart, three clubs promises at least game-invitational values in hearts. (Instead, a three-heart response shows the values for a single raise.) Also, three diamonds indicates at least game-forcing values with five-plus spades. (Instead, a threespade response is game-invitational but nonforcing.)

This worked very well in today’s deal. North’s three-club response showed game-forcing values with five or more hearts. Then, after South jumped to game, North, buoyed by the double fit in the majors, used Blackwood before signing off in six hearts. After West led the diamond king, what did declarer do?

South had no trouble taking 12 tricks. He won the first trick with dummy’s diamond ace, drew trumps, ran the spades (including a finesse of his nine against East’s 10), discarding two diamonds from the board, and conceded one trick to the club ace.

Note that six hearts by North fails if East leads a spade, and six spades

by South goes down if West leads a diamond.
