Not pining for old times I like my Chevrolet Impala, at least when it’s not in the shop undergoing expensive repairs, at which time I hate all cars, but can’t quite make myself wish for the good old days of travel by horse.

And I’m unsure that the 1800s would be my idea of the good old days, when horses reigned supreme in transportation. You had diseases that wiped out many thousands of people – typhus, dysentery, cholera, malaria, small pox, yellow fever. No indoor plumbing, and outhouses to take care of business. No telephones, TV or Internet. It was a pretty grim world. And then you had to clean up behind your horse.

I’ll pretty much take the present over the past anytime. We hearken back to days gone by – life was simpler! – but we are looking at them through gauze and the sharp edges blur.

There’s no time like the present, as awful as it may seem sometimes, and the future only holds out promise. I’ll take today over any time in the past. I don’t want a horse tethered in my backyard. I’m afraid of them, anyway.

Which is why we have cars to get from Point A to Point B, and we just have to hope that they hold out, especially for those of us who buy used cars with no warranties. Buyer beware. You can pretty much bet that it will cost at least $300 any time you take your car to a mechanic for repairs. That’s just the way it is. And don’t be surprised if it is double or triple or quadruple that.

Keeping an older model in working condition is an expensive proposition, but it beats car payments, so they have you coming or going. You’re going to pay one way or another. Get used to it.

Back in December I got a safety recall notice on our 2002 Impala, but the parts weren’t in yet to make the necessary repairs. How they were able to track me down mystifies me. I’m not the first owner of the car, but records must be stored, tracking who owns what car where. It must be quite some database.

Kind of like the one that the University of Iowa uses to track my whereabouts. I can’t remember the number of times I have moved in the past 35 years, but the University of Iowa knows almost as soon as I move where I am.

It’s like a house-warming gift. And the school sends an alumni magazine, or two or three, with the implicit notion that I send the school some money.

How do they do that? When I die, I am sure my estate will be flooded with mailings. Immediately.

Chevrolet tracked us down once before, a couple of years ago for another recall. Yes, we have two Impalas; my good wife drives a white 2003 model, and I drive a brownish-bronze 2002

WHERE IT’S AT

VIEWS Dick Peterson model. There was something wrong with the keys. The slot in the key that you run through the key ring was shaped like a small rectangle, and apparently the design caused the car to shut down without warning, and you would lose power steering and brakes. The fix was simple: The rectangular slot was filled in, giving you a small circle to put through your key ring. I’m not sure what the difference was, but it was good enough to make the federal government happy.

The notice that the parts were available to repair my car came in February. Not one to rush into things, I waited until this month to get the problem repaired, disregarding the notice: “You should contact your Chevrolet dealer to arrange a service appointment as soon as possible.” So, I waited five months when I had a day off. I had dawdled long enough.

What was the problem? “Drops of engine oil may be deposited on the exhaust manifold through hard braking. This condition could cause an engine compartment fire.” In the meantime, “This condition does not affect the safe operations of the vehicle, but it is recommended that the vehicle be parked outside and not in a garage or other structure until it is repaired.” Gotcha.

Not parking in a garage proved to be no inconvenience, as we have a one-car garage, and my good wife uses it – ladies first. If my car were to burst into flames, it would be in the driveway.

But I don’t ordinarily brake hard. I can think of one time in the past five months where I had to lay on the brakes when a car in front of me inexplicably hit the brakes, causing me to do the same. No fire. Whew.

The repair could be done quickly enough – 35 to 55 minutes, but longer depending on how busy the shop was. I took it to the local Chevrolet dealership, dropping it off the night before, figuring they would get around to it as soon as they could. They took care of it first thing.

Inside 20 minutes, the job was done and the service department was on the phone telling me I could pick my car up whenever I was ready.

Now, I’m good to go. And this was a free fix.

No reason to hate cars and wish for days of old.

Gavers Cancer Foundation Barndance attendees reconnect in Woodstock 17th annual event brings out more than 2,500 people, Gavers says

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – At the 17th annual Gavers Community Cancer Foundation Barndance in Woodstock, people came out to have fun, support a cause and reconnect with friends.

Steve Gavers said he’s reminded of why he puts on the event when he looks under the big tent at Emricson Park and sees more than 2,500 people who came to support the cause Saturday.

“It’s good to see people laughing, smiling, hugging given that handshake, ‘Hey I haven’t seen you in 10 years,’ ” Gavers said. “That’s what it’s all about. It’s about coming in together as a community and in the good of why we’re here.”

After this year’s Barndance, Gavers said the foundation will have raised $7.2 million that goes toward supporting cancer research and awareness.

Gavers, who was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1994, said he hopes that after the event, people will think about getting checked for cancer, before it’s too late.

“We hear people that never went and had a physical, or all of the sudden they just got diagnosed with stage 4 terminal,” Gavers said. “And then here’s a thing that they’ll say, ‘I wish I had a second chance.’ … So let’s go now before you have to say, ‘I wish I had a second chance.’ ” Part of the event also is bringing the community together, Gavers said. Within the first hour of the event, he ran into two of his old teachers from Woodstock High School.

“What he’s done for the community, bringing people together, we see so many of our former students here, it’s

Farmers markets are a relatively “recent” phenomenon, popping up in towns in the 1960s. Currently several farmers markets thrive in towns across McHenry County, as do farmstands. In earlier times it was more common to see individual farmstands dot the roadsides throughout the county, with farmers selling fresh-picked berries, melons and vegetables to augment their income. These convenient, seasonal stores provided folks with a way to buy fresh fruits and vegetables in bulk for their home canning. Many also offered dairy products, honey and baked goods. Poehls Vegetable Market in 1937. It was located near Woodstock, possibly near the family farm of Hans Poehls at Route 47 and Hercules Road.

Trial set to begin for McHenry man accused of murdering ex-girlfriend

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Jury selection will begin Monday for a McHenry man accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend and sealing a bedroom where her remains were found two years later.

William J. Ross, 64, was extradited from Las Vegas – where he was residing in a motel at the time – and charged in 2013 with concealing the death of 49-year-old Jacqueline Schaefer.

One year later, he was William J. charged with her homi- Ross cide.

Authorities allege that after Ross shot Schaefer in September 2011, he nailed and screwed both the windows and doors, caulked the edges and painted over the bedroom where her remains were found, according to court

documents.

A woman watching over Ross’ residence at 518 Country Club Road in the McHenry area found the badly decomposed remains in November 2013, more than two years after Ross allegedly killed Schaefer. The woman who found the remains lived in a second home Ross owned down the street and agreed to look after both properties while he was away, according to court documents.

Court records show that Ross was arrested on two occasions in 2007 for domestic battery. Schaefer was the alleged victim in both instances. Ross pleaded guilty to battery in November 2007 and in exchange for doing so, the charge from the first arrest was dismissed.

Statements made by Ross about his previous gun ownership are expected to be introduced at trial. Stephen Richards, Ross’s attorney, filed a motion to exclude the testimony Thursday, argu-

ing the statements were prejudicial for his client.

Assistant State’s Attorney Michael Combs argued that Ross’ statements show that he had access to and familiarity with handguns, and the police were not accusing him of illegally owning firearms.

McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather denied his motion, as well as his motion to continue the trial.

If Ross is convicted and prosecutors are able to prove the crime was committed with a firearm, he could be sentenced an additional 25 years to life, on top of the 20 to 60 years he faces on the murder charge.

Concealing a homicide is a Class 3 felony punishable by two to five years in prison.

Ross has been in custody awaiting trial at the McHenry County Jail in lieu of $5 million bond.

Prather will preside over the trial that is expected to last the week.

• BIKE PATHS

Continued from page A3 The advocacy group has collected more than 2,000 signatures on a petition backing the Complete Streets concept, a movement started by the National Complete Streets Coalition in 2004 that pushes for streets to be designed with all its users in mind.

Currently, the advocates are working to build a trail extension on Oak Street in Crystal Lake that would connect paths from McHenry County College to Veterans Acres Park.

In addition to lobbying to close gaps in the network of paths, the advocates push for municipalities to consider adding areas for pedestrians and bicyclists when doing major projects.

“Doing it afterward is always more expensive,” Veit said. “If you think about it upfront, then it’s not that much of an added cost to the project, and it’s very valuable.”

Veit said the key is often having people in planning and engineering departments who consider non-vehicular transportation when doing initial planning, and he thinks local municipalities have done a good job of that.

Several municipalities around the county are in the process of building paths with the help of grants from the Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program, which provides funding

to see bicycles when they’re turning right off side streets.

Leaders of local bicycle groups also stress that a safe riding technique is key, especially in places where the road is the only available space to ride.

Organizations such as CyclingSavvy and Ride Illinois offer information on how to properly navigate streets, though Veit said it can be hard to persuade bicyclists to come to lessons because they either feel they already know technique or don’t have the confidence to ride on busy streets.

Mike Henley, president of the McHenry County Bicycle Club, said he thinks cars are becoming more aware of and courteous to bicyclists on the road.

The rules of the road, he said, dictate that if a street is not wide enough for bicyclists to have a space 4 feet wide, the passenger should ride in the tire track in front of the passengers’ side of cars.

“If I stayed to the side, they don’t even move over,” Henley said. “I found that I will move out and people will pass on the opposite side. It makes people more aware of you.”

A new round of ITEP grants are expected to be announced this fall, and several municipalities have applied for help.

Algonquin, which is undergoing downtown streetscape renovations, is hoping to add paths connecting regional trials to Route 31. Huntley wants to build a path along Reed Road from Vine Street to Route 47.

In Lake in the Hills, officials are hoping to build a path along Lakewood Road between Miller and Algonquin roads. Public Works Director Fred Mullard said residents have requested a path in that area, particularly because most of the village’s other major roads are already bike-friendly.

While Veit is happy to see more connections being pursued, he stressed that paths are not always the answer.

Things such as connecting paths between two subdivisions are often inexpensive and effective, he said.

He also said that paths can be dangerous if they’re only built on one side of a road with several intersections because car drivers often don’t expect

County company offers free firearm training for police

By SAMANTHA MOORE smoore@shawmedia.com

The Carry Trainer organization is preparing to offer training courses for police officers once a month.

The courses, estimated to start in the beginning of August, are free to officers and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. In addition to working with police officers, Carry Trainer educates businesses, schools and other organizations in topics such as firearm Mickey and active shooter trainSchuch ing.

Some of the skills addressed during the course will include accuracy, speed and survival. The course offers officers an opportunity to address skills they may have learned in training, but do not frequently encounter.

Johnsburg Police Chief Keith Von Allmen expressed interest in the program and hopes to gain a more detailed understanding of it’s curriculum.

“I think good officers are continually training, and I think this is an oppor-

tunity for these officers to continue to do so,” Von Allmen said.

Instructor and owner of Carry Trainer, Mickey Schuch of Woodstock, aims to provide these courses to the officers who are interested, acknowledging that some train on their own time with their own funds. Schuch attributes this to a lack of a training budget.

“The more training our police officers have, the safer the streets will be,” Schuch said.

In addition to the courses, Carry Trainer will soon offer an online forum.

Those who are unable to attend the monthly courses or have questions may benefit from the online availability.

Officers interested in the course should email Schuch at mickey@carrytrainer.com. For information about Carry Trainer, visit http://www.carrytrainer.com/

HUNTLEY – The Huntley Park District is planning to construct a new maintenance building at Betsey Warrington Park in order to free up more space for its day camp program.

A representative from the park district spoke to the Village Board on Thursday night to present the plan, which was advanced to the Plan Commission to begin the formal review process.

The plan calls for a new 11,500-square-foot building south of the Stingray Bay pool that would replace the existing maintenance shop and storage area within the REC Center.

The current maintenance area would then be converted to classrooms for the day camp program. A park district official said about 200 po-

tential campers were turned away this year because of a lack of space.

If the plan is ultimately approved, district officials would like to start construction before winter begins and have the building finished by spring 2017.

The building would include spaces for offices, maintenance and cold storage and allow for equipment to be stored inside the building rather than under picnic shelters during the winter.

The plan would also include creating a berm to block the building from view of the swimming pool and improving the access road, which is currently made of gravel.

Separately on Thursday, the Village Board officially approved petitions for a new Sherwin-Williams store on Route 47 and a 10,000-squarefoot expansion of the Huntley Gymnastics Academy.

Give an Hour, Change a Life

Orthopedic Update Older, active adults are probably all too familiar with “strains,” otherwise known as “pulled muscles.” These cases of stretched/torn muscles or tendons (the fibrous collagen tissues that attach muscles to bone) occur most often in the shoulders, neck, abdominal area, back, hips, and legs. They typically happen when a muscle contracts at the same time that it is being lengthened. The risk of a strain is highest when muscles are fatigued, overused, or insufficiently warmed up. There is also an increased risk of strains when there is a strength imbalance between opposing muscle groups, such as strong quadriceps and weak hamstrings. It may help to avoid “static stretching,” in which a stretch is held for a set time.

The shopping experience has changed dramatically over the last decade with the advent of online shopping. I myself have gravitated toward shopping online for its convenience and there is some joy in receiving a package.

Doesn’t Julie Andrews hit the nail on the head when she sings about favorite things in the movie Sound of Music? “Brown paper packages tied up with string, these are a few of my favorite things.”

Today it is a brown box with a smiley face on it and it brings a quiver of anticipation. But once the box is open and items are stored, I am left with packaging and a box to recycle and alone, as the anticipation and excitement quickly dissipate.

One of the best parts of shopping for me is the journey to find the right item or service. Recently, I was in need of just the right bookcase for a set of antique books we acquired.

Because of the personal nature of this

Blue Cow Polish Deli gets OK to pursue liquor license

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@nwherald.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – The Committee of the Whole gave preliminary approval for the Blue Cow Polish Deli to receive a liquor license at its meeting this week, a village official said.

The license was requested as part of an expansion plan that owner Joe Buch presented to the committee on Tuesday.

The owner intends to expand the deli at 2102 Algonquin Road into the former Pizza Hut space next door in order to make it a sit-down restaurant.

The owner also said he plans to pursue a video gaming machine to put five terminals in a separate room in the rear of the building.

Village Manager Jerry Sagona said trustees’ reaction to the plan was generally positive.

“They were inquiring to make sure he prepared a business plan and know that this is a big undertaking,” Sagona said. “They’re up for the challenge.”

The expanded restaurant would measure 3,270 square feet, which is

The new liquor license will be on the agenda for the next Committee of the Whole meeting at 7:30 p.m. July 26.

The expansion continues a trend of delis with video-gaming opening or expanding in Lake in the Hills. Butcher on the Block, 4660 W. Algonquin Road, is planning to add video gaming, a sitdown dining area and wine and beer, and an upscale deli called Lucky Penny’s is planning to open at 421 N. Randall Road.

In tight race, Mark Kirk steps away from GOP

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Sen. Mark Kirk made his second appearance in Chicago’s gay Pride Parade this year. He broke ranks to support Democrat-backed gun control measures and called his party’s presumptive presidential nominee “too bigoted and racist” for the job.

The Republican senator from Illinois is doing his best not to look like a Republican as he seeks re-election in a state that’s expected to heavily favor Democrats.

Kirk’s approach varies from Republicans in competitive races in states such as Ohio and Pennsylvania, who may be uneasy about the party’s presumptive presidential nominee, Donald Trump, but are campaigning on their conservative records. But it’s a wise strategy for Kirk. His race with Rep. Tammy Duckworth is seen as one of Democrats’ best opportunities to pick up a seat and possibly retake control of the Senate because Illinois voters tend to vote overwhelmingly Democratic in statewide contests, particularly in presidential election years.

Kirk, who represented Chicago’s North Shore in the U.S. House before winning Obama’s former Senate seat in 2010, insists he has always had an independent streak; he has supported abortion rights and gun-control legisla-

Chicago’s new older smoking age could increase Ind. sales

HAMMOND, Ind. – Chicago’s move to raise the minimum age to buy cigarettes to 21 could increase smoke shop sales in northwestern Indiana, experts said.

Smokers have to be 18 years old to buy cigarettes in Indiana, where nearly two dozen smoke shops are scattered near the state line in northwestern Indiana cities near Illinois such as Hammond, Munster and Dyer to capitalize on the comparatively lower Indiana taxes.

“We absolutely welcome them with open arms,” said Kathy Marks, who owns K & D Smoke Shop near the state line in Hammond.

He said he became even more determined to put his convictions before party after a 2012 stroke that almost killed him.

“That clarifying moment forged for me a renewed sense of purpose – that I will fight to do right by Illinois all the time,” said Kirk, who became one of the few Republican senators to announce

support for gay marriage the year after his stroke. “I have demonstrated the independence to break from my party when I believe they are wrong.”

Democrats are defending 10 Senate seats in November to the GOP’s 24. They need to add four or five seats to win back the majority, depending on which party is in the White House and can send the vice president to break a tie.

$60 in Indiana, compared with $120 to $130 in Illinois. Many Illinois residents already buy cigarettes in Indiana because it’s cheaper, The (Munster) Times reported. Marks estimated that about 90 percent of her business comes from Illinois and said customers usually buy several cartons at once.

Micah Pollak, an assistant professor of economics at Indiana University Northwest, said Chicago’s older smoking age will definitely increase tobacco sales in northwestern Indiana, mostly from Chicago residents who live near Indiana or who visit the state regularly.

Tribune reported that the group’s data point to Lake Michigan having had nearly as many drownings and water rescues as the four other Great Lakes combined since 2010. Lake Michigan has had about 220 drownings since 2010. Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Ontario and Lake Superior combined for about 250 drowning during the same time period.

The group bases its numbers on confirmed current-related drownings from reports from the U.S. Coast Guard, first responders and news outlets.

Duckworth’s campaign said Kirk is “pretending to be a Democrat” as a matter of “political survival,” and that on key issues he’s stood firmly with Republicans.

Her deputy campaign manager, Matt McGrath, noted that Kirk supported a budget plan that would have turned Medicare into a voucher system and cut taxes for the wealthy while slashing funding for student aid and other programs.

“On the issues that really matter to families, especially on the economy, he is as Republican as it gets and has been his entire career,” McGrath said.

Duckworth’s campaign also said Kirk talks a lot about his more moderate positions when he’s in the Chicago area, but not when he heads to more Republican parts of Illinois, and that she has been consistent in her beliefs.

A TV ad that mentioned Kirk was one of the only Republicans to call for hearings on President Obama’s pick for the Supreme Court aired only in the Chicago area. Kirk supported Republican presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump for months before reversing course in June amid fierce criticism from Democrats.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS France calls up reserves to Sheriff: Escaped murder boost security after attack suspect armed, has help

NICE, France – Seeking to quell fear and criticism, the French government called up thousands of police reserves Saturday to increase security around the country after the Islamic State claimed responsibility for a beachfront Bastille Day attack that security forces failed to thwart.

Critics lashed out Saturday at President Francois Hollande’s Socialist government, asking how a country still under a state of emergency after previous carnage from Islamic extremist attacks could let this happen again.

As Nice’s coastal promenade along the Mediterranean reopened, tourists and residents paid tribute to the 84 people killed and the 200 wounded in Thursday night’s attack, their blood still jarringly visible on the pavement.

Hollande held an emergency security meeting Saturday, and Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve announced he would call up 12,000 police reserves in addition to more than 120,000 police and soldiers already deployed around the country.

The Islamic State group said the attacker was one of its “soldiers,” the first claim of responsibility.

The statement, quoting an IS security member, said he was following IS calls to target citizens of the countries fighting the extremists.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The search for a Florida murder suspect who escaped by bolting from a courtroom became nationwide Saturday as a sheriff said it is believed the man is armed and receiving help.

Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said Saturday that his detectives have information indicative Dayonte Resiles has obtained a weapon and is getting assistance. Without providing details, Israel said Resiles planned the escape.

He said search warrants are being served and the focus remains on South Florida, but Resiles could be anywhere. He said a nationwide alert has been issued.

Rewards totaling $20,000 have been offered.

Trump presents ‘partner,’ but no doubt who’s the star On picking Pence, Trump cites party unity as a reason

By JILL COLVIN and JONATHAN LEMIRE The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Donald Trump presented running mate Mike Pence to the nation Saturday, hailing the Indiana governor as his “first choice” and “my partner in the campaign.” But he left no doubt in a sometimes awkward event that Pence’s role will surely be as sidekick to the businessman-turned-reality-star-turned-politician at the top of the ticket.

Glancing at notes, Trump lauded Pence’s personal character and conservative credentials. Then he moved on to draw sharp contrasts between the newly formed Republican team and Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Yet the announcement lacked much of the stagecraft typically associated with the public unveiling of a running mate, one of the most significant moments under a presidential campaign’s control.

The only sign onstage in the Manhattan hotel ballroom bore only Trump’s name. The two men appeared together just briefly. And Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, spoke for nearly 30 minutes before calling Pence to the stage.

His far-ranging remarks devoted more time to recapping his primary victories – and he even found time to tout his new hotel in Washington – than introducing the relatively unknown Pence to America’s voters.

“All right, back to Mike Pence,” Trump said at one point after a long tangent talking about the Republican Party’s efforts to overturn rules that limit church leaders’ political involvement.

The event – the culmination of a vice presidential rollout

Mike Pence (left) during a campaign event Saturday to announce Pence as the vice presidential running mate in New York. that featured mixed signals, second-guessing and a 24-hour delay – was intended to assert that Trump and Pence would stand up to America’s enemies while being “the law-and-order candidates” at home.

“What a difference between crooked Hillary Clinton and Mike Pence,” Trump said. He added: “He’s a solid, solid person.”

Pence, standing alone in front of 10 American flags, hewed closely to the populist themes that Trump has voiced on the campaign trail, describing himself as “really just a small-town boy.” He praised Trump effusively as “a good man,” a fighter, a legendary businessman and a patriotic American.

“The American people are tired,” Pence said in remarks that included many of the same talking points that until recently he was using in his bid for re-election. “We’re tired of being told that this is as good as it gets. We’re tired of having politicians in both parties in Washington, D.C., telling us we’ll get to those problems tomorrow.”

The joint appearance was meant to catapult the party toward a successful and unified Republican National Convention, which kicks off in Cleveland on Monday. Trump conceded that one of the reasons he’d selected Pence was to promote unity within the

Republican Party, left deeply fractured by Trump’s ascent.

“One of the reasons is party unity, I have to be honest,” he said.

There was little hoopla – and no questions, though Trump on Thursday had billed the event as a news conference.

In contrast, four years ago, Mitt Romney introduced running mate Paul Ryan on the deck of a Navy battleship, the USS Wisconsin, off the shore of swing state Virginia. With cheering flag-waving crowds and a patriotic soundtrack, the pair faced the nation for the first time flanked by a massive red, white and blue banner displaying their new logo.

There were no newly printed banners or logos at the hotel ballroom event, which was set in a state that Trump has little chance of winning in November. The two men, instead of presenting an image of an emboldened, unified front, barely spent any time on stage together, as Trump quickly exited after greeting Pence with a perfunctory handshake and arm pat. He did return for a brief photo-op at the end.

The underwhelming rollout continued when Pence got back to Indiana, where a few hundred people greeted him at a suburban Indianapolis airport hangar bereft of any “Trump-Pence” signs or other obvious trappings of a presidential campaign.

Failed coup strengthens Turkey’s president

Crowds rejoice; Erdogan vows coup leaders will pay for treason

By SUZAN FRASER and DOMINIQUE SOGUEL The Associated Press

ANKARA, Turkey – Rather than toppling Turkey’s strongman president, a failed military coup that left more than 250 dead appears to have bolstered Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s immediate grip on power and boosted his popularity.

Tens of thousands marched through the streets in half a dozen Turkish cities late Saturday, waving flags and singing songs in an emotional outpouring of support for the longtime leader as security forces rounded up military personnel it branded coup supporters and launched a purge of judges seen as government opponents.

Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said the perpetrators of Friday’s failed coup “will receive every punishment they deserve,” and the government said it

The government threat of further crackdowns raised concerns over the future of democracy in Turkey, which has long prided itself in its democratic and secular traditions despite being in

a tumultuous region swept by conflict and extremism.

The coup attempt began late Friday with tanks rolling into the streets of the capital, Ankara, and Istanbul as Erdogan was enjoying a seaside vacation. Explosions and gunfire erupted throughout the night.

It quickly became clear, however, that the military was not united in the effort to overthrow the government. In a dramatic iPhone interview broadcast on TV, Erdogan urged his supporters into the streets to confront the troops and tanks, and forces loyal to the government began reasserting control.

The unrest claimed at least 265 lives, according to a tally compiled from official statements. Yildirim said 161 people were killed and 1,440 wounded in the process of putting down the coup attempt. Turkey’s acting chief of the general staff, Gen. Umit Dundar, said at least 104 “coup plotters” had died.

Before the weekend’s chaos, Turkey – a NATO member and key Western ally in the fight against the Islamic State group – had been wracked by political turmoil that critics blamed on Erdogan’s increasingly authoritarian rule. He has shaken up the government, cracked down on dissidents, restricted the news media and renewed fighting with Kurdish rebels.

By Saturday afternoon, when tensioned eased, an atmosphere of celebration broke around as Turks answered official calls to rally in the squares to protect Turkish democracy. Thousands

In Istanbul, crowds gathered at Taksim Square, where a man stood on an iconic monument with a Turkish flag draped on his chest.

Government supporters marched through Ankara as cars honked in apparent approval. Some gathered outside parliament and amid the burnt cars outside the presidential palace.

One man took a selfie with a Turkish police officer standing atop an abandoned tank.

“We are here for democracy, so the country lasts,” retired soldier Nusret Tuzak said at the Ankara gathering.

By late Saturday afternoon, flights had resumed into Istanbul’s international airport after being halted for nearly 24 hours. Mostly national carriers were flying into Istanbul, but other airlines preferred to wait another day to test the precarious security situation.

OUR VIEW

Residents’ health the top priority A scabies outbreak has shined a new light on Valley Hi, McHenry County’s nursing home, and whether the facility is adequately staffed for its residents.

If you listen to the point of view of employees there, the answer is a resounding no. At this point, it’s unfair to determine whether a staff shortage contributed to a highly For the record contagious disease spreading. It’s a When an entity already has disease that has tens of millions of taxpayer popped up in other money, those same taxpayers facilities and will shouldn’t be hearing a word continue to do so. about staffing shortages.

But the outbreak is what drew attention to issues at Valley Hi and the fact that more than 70 employees have filed a petition complaining about insufficient staffing levels, which is puzzling for a few reasons.

It’s been well-documented that Valley Hi is sitting on a $35 million to $40 million surplus, which appropriately caused some McHenry County Board members to raise concern over why it has at least three years of operating expenses sitting in an account.

That concern led the board to at least temporarily suspend Valley Hi’s $3 million tax levy, and they were right to do it. It’s certainly a major improvement over past years when Valley Hi consistently ran at a deficit.

Following a series of reforms, the fiscal health of the facility no longer is in question.

Just last spring, the Valley Hi Operating Board was talking about spending some of the reserve cash on new beds, finishing the basement and stocking the ponds for its 120-plus residents.

That’s why it’s puzzling to hear of staffing complaints from employees. The spending of taxpayer money always should be an issue and scrutinized. But when an entity already has tens of millions of taxpayer money that taxpayers aren’t getting back, those same taxpayers shouldn’t be hearing a word about staffing shortages.

Since state Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, has been complaining about these issues and Franks is running for McHenry County Board chairman against McHenry County Board member Michael Walkup, R-Crystal Lake, we can expect this discussion to carry some political undertones.

Regardless of motivation – perceived or otherwise – the health of the residents of Valley Hi should take the first priority along with fiscal responsibility to taxpayers.

Guns, not tennis balls for GOP Planning to visit the 1.7-squaremile area in downtown Cleveland where many of the events and protests connected to the Republican National Convention will be held next week? Be sure not to take tennis balls, metal-tipped umbrellas or canned goods, which will be banned – but no need to leave behind your AR-15 or other guns. Those will be allowed under Ohio’s open-carry laws.

That a can of tuna fish is deemed more dangerous than military-style weaponry is indicative of the irrationality of U.S. gun policy. Don’t expect a fix anytime soon. The Republican-led House of Representatives is going on its summer vacation without making a genuine effort – let alone taking any action – to inject sense into the nation’s gun laws.

Cleveland officials are preparing for large numbers of protesters. Some – including the New Black Panther Party and a group of current and former members of the military called

the Oath Keepers – have said they plan to carry weapons. No guns will be allowed inside the Quicken Loans Arena or within the perimeter controlled by the Secret Service, but Ohio’s open-carry laws will allow those who legally own guns to take them into the event zone.

The prospect of a politically charged environment in which there are people armed to the teeth rightly has given pause to some.

“The last thing in the world we need is anybody walking around here with AR-15s strapped to their back,” Stephen Loomis, president of the Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association, told the New York Times.

Last week in Dallas, while five police officers were being shot to death and seven others wounded, police were hampered by confusion over which people with guns were suspects to be apprehended and which were protesters who had brought their guns because misguided

Texas law allowed them.

“There’s been the presumption,” said Dallas Police Chief David Brown, “that a good guy with a gun is the best way to resolve some of these things. Well, we don’t know who the good guy is versus who the bad guy is if everybody starts shooting.”

In October in Colorado, a neighbor spotted someone carrying a weapon and called 911. Because the behavior was legal under state law, police did not respond immediately. The gunman shot three people. Forty states, according to Everytown for Gun Safety, allow people to openly carry shotguns and rifles (including assault rifles) in public without a permit or safety training, and 30 states allow people to openly carry handguns without a permit or safety training. The gun lobby agenda of “guns everywhere, no questions asked” is extreme and irresponsible, but it has been skillfully sold.

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.

Vote Zettler for D300 board

To the Editor: As a private citizen and a very active parent advocate in District 300, Nancy Zettler has served our community well over the years. She has been an active parent in both school activities and at the district level.

Nancy has been intricately involved in ensuring good use of taxpayer dollars and holding district boards and officials to high standards.

Mike Tryon has been a bipartisan statesman, continuing to look for solu-

show labels are justified on environmental grounds. Without some kind of justification, an executive agency could not possibly survive the cost-benefit scrutiny presidents long have demanded.

The bill’s proponents argue the American people want labels.

They’re right. But the public desire for labels seems to be based on the unfounded belief that GM food is harmful to human health. On that count, presidents from Reagan to Obama have agreed: Regulation should be based on concrete evidence of benefits, not baseless fear.

There is a larger lesson here.

When it imposes expensive regulatory mandates on the private sector, Congress often acts on the basis of interest-group pressures, anecdotes and the emotions of the moment. The executive branch is hardly perfect, but it is far less likely to do that.

Having said all that, there’s a good argument the House should vote for the Senate’s bill and the president should sign it. The reason is simple: federalism.

On July 1, Vermont became the first state to require GM labels in grocery stores. Alarmed by the new law, food manufacturers have gone to both federal court and to Congress to eliminate it. Without national action, they worry different states will require different labels, with different texts and fonts, producing a

patchwork quilt of labeling requirements, hopelessly ill-suited to a national market.

In these circumstances, the bill that passed the Senate is probably a sensible compromise. For one thing, it would explicitly preempt state laws on the subject. For another, the labeling requirement has the advantage of flexibility: Food producers can comply with a symbol or with text, but also with a barcode consumers can scan to get information on ingredients.

Producers of genetically modified food think this flexibility means the federal law will be far less costly than what Vermont has done, not least because most consumers won’t even bother to scan. To them, the bill makes the best of a bad situation.

But if labels are indeed coming, let’s hope consumers don’t pay a whole lot of attention to them. Much more than that, let’s hope whenever Congress imposes costly mandates in the future, it will borrow from the established practice of the executive branch – and insist on some kind of accounting of both costs and benefits.

In recent years, Republicans have argued Congress is a more responsible policymaker than the executive branch. But when it comes to regulation, Congress often is much worse, and for just one reason: Executive agencies almost always focus on both costs and benefits, and Congress usually doesn’t.

As a case in point, consider the Senate’s recent vote, by a margin of 63-30, in favor of a new law to require national labels for foods containing genetically modified organisms. The House is expected to pass the bill in the near future. However popular it might be, the coming law almost certainly would fail the minimal requirements American presidents – from Ronald Reagan to Barack Obama – have imposed on federal regulators before they can finalize similar rules.

Since 1981, federal agencies have been required to do two things: quantify the costs and benefits of regulatory requirements, and demonstrate the benefits justify the costs. Congress did neither – which is typical.

For the GMO labeling requirement, lawmakers made no serious effort to quantify the costs for companies and consumers. A Consumers Union study concludes the annual

expense would be $2.30 a person.

That doesn’t sound like a lot (and Consumers Union strongly supports mandatory labeling, giving it an incentive to lowball the costs). But its estimate still entails a total annual cost far in excess of $100 million – the executive branch’s threshold for “economically significant” regulations, which must be accompanied by detailed investigations of economic consequences.

Reliable data is hard to find: A study funded by Corn Refiners Association, which opposes mandatory labeling, estimates the total cost to be $3.8 billion. Before imposing a nationwide mandate on food producers, Congress should be expected to come up with some numbers of its own – and to put them out for public scrutiny.

Whenever they require labels, regulators ordinarily also are required to project significant benefits for consumers, usually in the form of economic savings or reduced mortality or morbidity. But in terms of human health, labels are expected to produce no benefits at all. Nor is anyone seriously arguing consumers will save money.

True, some people believe genetically modified crops will cause environmental damage, but many scientists have contested that belief.

In any case, no congressional committee has made a serious effort to

By HOLLY RAMER

The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD, N.H. – Jessie Levine smiles and shakes her head when she hears the outgoing voicemail message on her iPhone.

“I sound young! And fast!” she marvels. “That person never, ever expected to talk like this.”

The message was recorded before Levine was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease, or ALS, in early 2015, and before the progressive motor neuron disease caused her speech to become slow and slurred. But as her ability to talk deteriorates, she’s exploring a new way to restore her voice via speech synthesis, or the artificial production of human speech.

The technology has been around for decades, but as devices shrink in size, efforts to customize them are expanding. Multiple companies and research groups are using speech synthesis engines to create voices from spoken samples, usually thousands of recorded sentences.

For example, CereProc, based in Edinburgh, Scotland, created a voice for the late film critic Roger Ebert several years before his death in 2013 by mining commentary tracks he’d recorded for movies.

But VocaliD, a Belmont, Massachusetts, company, is taking a different approach by creating custom voices using just a small sample from the recipient, even if they can’t speak.

Starting with just a tiny snippet of someone’s voice – a few seconds of saying “Ahhhh” – the company matches recipients with a “donor voice” – in Levine’s case, maybe a relative – and then blends the two together. The result is a sound file that can be plugged into any text-to-speech device.

Jessie Levine smiles as she listens to her recorded outgoing phone message on her iPhone in Springfield, N.H. Levine was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease or ALS in 2015, and it has caused her speech to become slow and slurred. She now is exploring a new way to restore her voice via speech synthesis, or the artificial production of human speech.

“I have two sisters, one of whom has a lisp like I have, which I had before I had ALS. The other one, we all have this stuffiness to our speech,” said Levine, 45, the manager of Sullivan County, New Hampshire. “It never occurred to me that I could use their voices, adapt it to me, and then be able to use that.”

Company founder and CEO Rupal Patel is a speech technology professor on leave from Northeastern University. Her research found that people with severe communication disorders preserve the ability to control aspects of their voices, such as pitch and loudness. Those characteristics – what Patel calls the “melody of speech” – are also important for speaker identity, she

said.

“There is a level of empowerment that comes with having the freedom to be able to communicate in your own voice, and that’s such an important thing, which I think has been overlooked,” Patel said.

No one would give a young girl a prosthetic leg meant for a grown man, she said, and voices should be no different.

The company delivered its first seven voices late last year and is working on about seven dozen more, which will cost $1,249 each. More than 14,000 people worldwide have donated their voices so far in a process that involves about six hours and 3,500 sentences read aloud.

One of the first recipients was 17-year-old Delaney Supple, of Needham, Massachusetts, who was born with cerebral palsy. She had been using a generic computerized voice but didn’t like it much; she makes a gagging gesture when her mother mentions it.

Some voice devices are controlled by eye movement or head movement.

Delaney Supple types out her words on a tablet touch screen and then taps it to play them back.

Delaney likes her new voice. So does her mother, Erica Supple, who said it’s a much better fit.

“I love listening to it,” she said, “and it’s funny because when I first heard it ... it sounded a little bit like her brother’s voice when he was younger.”

Enjoy your cheap summer airfares you’ll most likely pay more next year

By JUSTIN BACHMAN Bloomberg

During the summer vacation season, think of a commercial airplane as a flying, broken cash machine: It spits out profit from June to September, but come autumn, the money slows.

That’s when the seat harvesting begins. This year, that annual airline ritual will likely feature deeper pruning than usual because U.S. carriers are desperate to stop the steady decline in revenues.

To do so, they need to boost fares, which have sagged as seat supply outpaces demand.

Delta Air Lines said Thursday it would curb its seat growth to only 1 percent in the fourth quarter, with much of that cutting focused on the U.K., where the decision to quit the European Union has left airlines deeply uncertain about future travel demand. Delta had previously planned to expand 2 percent in the quarter, compared with 2015. Its quarterly revenue dipped 2 percent, to $10.4 billion.

Similar moves may come from rivals American Airlines and United Continental Holdings, which are also striving to reverse slides in this industry metric known as passenger revenue per available seat mile (PRASM). (A seat mile is

“I realize the [revenue] numbers have been weak, but the final line results have been phenomenal.”

Ed Bastian

Delta Airlines’ chief executive officer one seat flown one mile, the standard capacity gauge.)

Wall Street has soured on airline stocks this year, with the Bloomberg U.S. Airlines Index down 14 percent in 2016.

Analysts have adopted a we’ll-believe-itwhen-we-see-it stance on when passenger revenues will stop declining. Choppy currencies in many regions, periodic terrorist attacks, and the unexpected decision by U.K. voters to leave Europe haven’t helped.

Another major problem, from the airline viewpoint, is that business people are reaping some incredible last-minute bargains today compared with what they paid at the counter historically. In some markets, the walk-up fare can be the same as the price six weeks in advance, and many of the traditional rules about Saturday-night stays and advance pur-

chase requirements have collapsed.

“Investors want to hear a robust narrative on managing capacity to right the trajectory,” Credit Suisse Group analysts wrote July 14. “In nearly every conversation we have with investors, the question of capacity cuts comes up.”

Much of this revenue degradation is the result of rising jet fuel prices, which declined radically in 2014-15 amid a glut of crude. Prices touched a 12-year low in February, near $25 per barrel, but have since rallied to about $46. As fuel rises-and airlines are estimating even higher prices this winter-the costs of flying to nonessential destinations make less sense.

In this fashion, jet fuel costs operate as a natural capacity restraint. The lag from a fuel increase to the impact on revenue typically takes nine months, Delta President Glen Hauenstein told analysts.

All else being equal, fewer seats will mean higher fares.

One irony underlying the current revenue angst is that it wasn’t supposed to happen this way. Three years ago, the U.S. Justice Department and six states sued to block the merger of American and US Airways, arguing the new behemoth would abuse U.S. travelers with higher fares in a rapidly consolidated industry. After a settlement, the merger

closed and American became the world’s biggest airline.

But a funny thing happened on the way to higher fares: Crude oil prices collapsed, and the resulting Big Three post-merger carriers began expanding, while also fighting for the extremely price-sensitive customers they used to cede to ultra-discounters such as Spirit Airlines and Frontier Airlines Holdings.

Average domestic fares have declined in recent years, to $377 in 2015, adjusted for inflation, according to federal data.

That was down 4 percent from 2014, and more than 19 percent from 2000. The total value of airline tickets fell 4 percent in the first half of 2016, to $46.1 billion, from the same period last year, on a 6 percent increase in ticket transactions, “pointing to the overall effect of lower airfares,” the Airlines Reporting Corp. said July 13.

While this news might cheer travelers, those who focus on revenue declines often overlook some of the hefty numbers that sit near the bottom of airline profit-and-loss statements: net income.

At Delta, it was $1.7 billion before taxes, with billions of dollars more expected across the industry this year.

“I realize the [revenue] numbers have been weak, but the final line results have been phenomenal,” Delta’s chief executive officer, Ed Bastian, said.

To get out of debt, attack smaller amounts first Dear Dave: We’re working the debt snowball, and together my husband and I make $93,000 a year.

The amounts of our remaining three debts are so close we wonder if we should take interest rates into account. Two are student loans for $2,970 and $6,700, while the other is credit card debt in the amount of $4,750.

I also got a recent bonus of $3,600.

Should we put that toward our debt snowball? – Robin Dear Robin: In a strictly mathematical sense, my advice of paying off debt smallest to largest may be wrong, but it’s still the correct advice. Besides, if people were so good at math they wouldn’t have debt in the first place, would they? If I’m in your shoes, I’d have that lowest student loan paid off in a heartbeat with the bonus you mentioned.

I’d throw the remainder, along with your regular snowball payments, at the credit card and keep the debt snowball rolling just like I normally advise.

When you’re pushing to get out of debt fast, interest rates don’t really matter much when you add up actual dollars on interest spent. If you were going to keep debt around for six or seven years, then we’d have something to talk about. But when you knock out the little debt and immediately plow through the others with a vengeance, it gives a real sense of accomplishment and confidence.

Remember, personal finance is 80 percent behavior and only 20 percent head knowledge.

So, mathematically speaking, the advice I’m giving you might be a few dollars wrong, but you’ll benefit in other bigger, long-lasting ways by gaining a sense of closure on your debts, learning how to delay pleasure and staying on a plan!

Dear Dave: I’m in the middle of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. I’ve worked for years in the automotive industry, but lately I’ve been thinking about a different line of work.

The problem is I’m afraid I will be

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey discriminated against when applying for jobs because of the bankruptcy filing. I think the government has given businesses the permission to look at my financial history. Do you have any suggestions? – Joe Dear Joe: The government doesn’t give businesses permission to look at your history. They had that right anyway. And it wouldn’t be discrimination, because it’s a part of their analysis as to whether or not they want you working for them. That kind of thing is perfectly reasonable. It’s not discrimination.

A lot of this, however, depends on the job and how seriously the employer is considering you. If you’d be doing something where you have to be bonded, then you’ll have trouble because the bankruptcy can prevent you from being bonded. If you would be handling large sums of money or be given access to large sums of money, the Chapter 13 bankruptcy would reflect poorly on you and make you a higher risk.

Just be honest and disclose it, Joe. If they ask questions, explain things truthfully and the reasons behind why it happened. Also, don’t carry around a chip on your shoulder about the bankruptcy. We all make mistakes, and the smart ones among us learn from them. I wouldn’t necessarily have an issue with someone just because they had filed bankruptcy in the past, but it would create problems if they tried to hide it from me.

Man is miffed when woman is older than she advertised Dear Abby: I am a 58-year-old man who has been meeting women online for a few years. I recently met “Molly,” whose profile said she was 60. We dated several times, and then she spent a few days at my house. Certain things she said made me suspect she was older. So I looked her name up online and found out she was seven years older than she had advertised.

I consider lying on a dating profile to be similar to lying on a job application. When she asked me when she could come over again, I nicely said I couldn’t consider a long-term relationship with someone her age.

So what’s the penalty for putting false info on a dating profile? Grounds for dismissal, like with a job? – Wants Someone My Own Age Dear Wants: Dating sites are a form

of advertising, and as with “buy-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips ing” any product, the rule is caveat emptor – let the buyer beware. Many women – and men – fudge the truth on dating sites when stating their height, weight, age and income. (There’s a saying in journalism: If your mother says she loves you, check it out.)

Not everyone ages at the same rate.

Some people are “old” at 45. Others are healthy, vital and energetic at 70.

Molly was able to pass for younger than her chronological age. If the number is that important to you, it’s your right to move on. But being rigid about age could let a good person slip by. Everyone puts their best foot for-

ward. Get used to it.

Dear Abby: I’m facing major surgery in Seattle, where my son and his wife live, 2,000 miles from my home. After the surgery, I must stay in town for 10 days until my post-op appointment.

Then I’ll be given the green light to travel home.

During that period, my son will be working overseas, and his wife plans to join him. Because their condo will be empty, I asked if my husband and I could stay there during my recovery.

My son informed us that while we are welcome to stay there when they’re in town, we are not welcome when they aren’t.

My son would never do this to us; I know it came from his wife. I also know if the request were from her mother, she’d be welcome in a heartbeat.

I have been nothing but generous and supportive of them. We aren’t slobs and would care for the place as if it were our own. I just don’t understand. How do I react? What can I say?

My son’s wife has isolated him from some of his friends, too. – Aching In

Alaska Dear Aching: Your disappointment is understandable, but the way to react is to tell your son you are disappointed and you will make other arrangements for a place to recuperate. I don’t think it would be helpful right now to point out his wife has isolated him from his friends and appears to be doing the same with his mother and dad. He will figure that out for himself in time, if he doesn’t already know.

he Quarry at Three Oaks Recreation Area in Crystal Lake, the first full-size wakeboarding cable park in the Chicago area, opened less than a month ago but already has drawn visitors from across the country and even the world.

“We have people coming down from Minnesota that spent three days with us. We had a family from Copenhagen that came to visit us,” The Quarry operator Elisabeth Landt said. “We have a lot of people from Crystal Lake that know about us, but people are just looking for cable parks, and this venue was not here before, an outlet for this activity was not here before.”

In its first few weeks of operation, the park has attracted everyone from local families to professional riders, including a 10-year-old world champion.

Landt said feedback from riders so far has been “incredible.”

The Quarry is one of only two full-

sized cable parks in Illinois, along with West Rock Wake Park in Rockford, and those are two of only four in the Midwest.

After strapping on the required hel-

mets and Coast Guard-approved safety vests, riders at The Quarry are attached to Sessitec brand cables

The main full-size course is almost a half-mile long with a number of jumps and features, and there are also two smaller beginner courses. The Quarry is currently offering a Try It special that allows newcomers to wakeboarding to learn on the beginner courses from Quarry employees.

“Monday through Thursday, you can come in for $25, and for an hour, you can be on the beginner course … and for an hour, you can have an instructor, one or two operators with one student. …We have two operators right now, and they’re actually working with the boarder that’s out there, telling him what to do, pulling him up, pull him down, and the more advanced ones, they can spin them so that they are able to do the turns at the back and head back.

Former McHenry boys water polo team member Becca Dabrowski will be featured on “Outside the Lines” at 8 a.m. Sunday on ESPN. Dabrowski claims she was sexually assaulted by an opponent last year. which she says shows Dabrowski and an opponent jostling before Dabrowski screams out.

Hogshead-Makar, a three-time gold medalist swimmer and civil-rights lawyer, told the Northwest Herald on Saturday the family filed a criminal complaint against the accused but the prosecutor did not file charges. Buffalo Grove, where the incident occurred, is in Cook County.

The family then filed a Title IX complaint with the U.S. Department of Education, according to Hogshead-Makar, which said they do not want to file a civil lawsuit in the matter.

“They want the guy to have something on record,” Hogshead-Makar said.

“She won’t get it from the Department of Education. … They ensure that school

policy is good and make sure these things don’t happen again.”

In 2013, when the Northwest Herald profiled Dabrowski competing with the McHenry boys water polo team, she was one of two female athletes on the team.

McHenry does not have a girls water polo team.

Hogshead-Makar shared with the Northwest Herald the legal opinion she sent to “Outside the Lines.”

“Just because there was no criminal trial or finding of guilt does not mean that she is without remedies,” her email said. “Civil remedy in court? If what she says happened, there is no ‘assumption of risk’ – falls outside.”

Hogshead-Makar said Dabrowski can file a complaint with U.S.A. Water Polo, where she could receive a hearing that could ban the accused from competing in any U.S.A. Water Polo-sanctioned event.

“The standard is not beyond a reasonable doubt,” as it is in a criminal case, Hogshead-Makar said of a potential hearing. “The standard is preponderance of evidence.”

Hogshead-Makar said fewer than 2 percent of those accused of sexual assault ever receive jail time and “the risk

of sexual assault is higher in groups that are all male, like clergy and the military.”

Hogshead-Makar said a prosecutor declining the case, even with video evidence, is not uncommon. But the incident was uncommon.

“In all of my years with swimming and water polo, I’ve never heard of such a thing,” said Hogshead-Makar, who noted the accused said the incident was an accident. “If that could be a potential accident. … If it was, one would expect a bend-over-backward apology. That wasn’t his reaction.

“She wants an apology on the part of the perpetrator. ... He’s dangerous.”

“It was awful,” Dabrowski said in an ESPN promo. “I felt like everyone was staring at me and gonna judge me.”

Libertyville athletic department officials did not return a call about the incident, and McHenry athletic director Barry Burmeister, on Friday, said the district was waiting to see the ESPN program before any potential comment.

Burmeister and McHenry boys water polo coach Craig Fowles did not immediately return phone messages regarding details of the incident Saturday.

anything to come down and watch – we have beach volleyball, we have baggo, all of those things are available to any guests. The only cost is if you’re wakeboarding.”

Although the facility is privately owned, unlike the rest of the Three Oaks Recreation Center, Landt said she and her team have “worked closely” with the city of Crystal Lake.

“We do work with them as far as making sure all of our staff is crosstrained,” Landt said. “We do training with them, they do training with us, because when you come through that parking gate at the top, your experience is all that is here, and that was very important to us, so we worked closely with them.”

4 GOLF: BRITISH OPEN

Showdown: Stenson vs. Mickelson Swede leads by 1 over Lefty; Haas another 5 back

Leaderboard

Henrik Stenson Phil Mickelson Bill Haas Andrew Johnston J.B. Holmes

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

TROON, Scotland – Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson delivered what everyone expects out of a major championship.

They matched birdies and improbable par saves. Momentum could change with any shot. The lead changed four times over four hours of golf at its highest level, played in the cold wind and occasional rain off the Irish Sea. All the British Open lacked Saturday was a winner.

Turns out this was only the preview to a duel at Royal Troon.

Stenson took the lead for the last time with another two-shot swing on an inward par 3, and he kept it with a nifty up-and-down on the 18th for par and a 3-under-par 68, the second straight day no one else had a better score.

That gave the 40-year-old Swede his first lead in a major, even if it was only one shot over someone who already has five majors and his name on the claret jug.

“There’s only one thing that matters tomorrow,” Stenson said. “I know he’s not going to back down, and I’m certainly going to try to not back down, either.

So it should be an exciting afternoon. ...

I’ve worked hard these first three days to put myself in this situation, and I’m going to try my hardest tomorrow to finish the job.”

Henrik Stenson hits a shot from the rough on the 16th hole Saturday during the third round of the British Open at Royal Troon in Troon, Scotland.

Links golf can deliver some strange finishes, although this had all the trappings of a two-man race Sunday.

Stenson had his third straight round in the 60s – no one has ever won at Royal Troon with all four rounds in the 60s – and was at 12-under 201. He is trying to become only the eighth player dating to Old Tom Morris in 1861 to win his first major after turning 40.

Mickelson, winless since he lifted golf’s oldest trophy at Muirfield three years ago, had a 70. His game was nowhere near as sharp as his opening-round 63 that tied a major championship record. Even so, he came up with the right shots at the right time until Stenson passed him late in the afternoon.

“Some days it’s easy and it looks pretty like the first couple,” Mickelson said.

“Some days it’s hard and it looks terrible, like it did today. But either way, I shot three rounds under par.”

He made a 25-foot birdie putt on the 13th hole for a two-shot lead. Stenson answered with a 5-iron to 6 feet for birdie on the next hole to tie for the lead when Mickelson three-putted, only his third bogey of the week.

Mickelson regained the lead with a pitch to 4 feet for birdie on the par-5 16th, only for the Swede to answer again, this time with an all-out 3-iron into the wind on the 220-yard 17th hole to 20 feet. Mickelson lost the lead by missing the green to the left and making bogey.

Everyone else felt like mere spectators.

Bill Haas, a six-time winner on the PGA Tour who is rarely heard from at majors, was solid with a 69 and alone in

68-65-68—201 63-69-70—202 68-70-69—207 69-69-70—208 70-70-69—209

-12 -11 -6 -5 -4

third. It’s his highest position ever in a major, yet he was six shots off the lead.

Another shot back was Andrew Johnston, the Englishman with a big belly and beard to match who goes by “Beef.”

He broke par for the third straight day with a 70.

It was unlikely to matter.

This was all about Stenson and Mickelson, two powerful players with different styles and different credentials, mainly the number of majors – five for Mickelson, none for Stenson. Mickelson spoke earlier in the week about not having as much pressure knowing he already has won them.

Not since Davis Love III and Justin Leonard shared the lead and were seven shots clear of the field in the 1997 PGA Championship has the final round of a major took on the appearance of match play.

“I was happy enough to throw two good punches in there on the par 3s and pick up two shots on either one of them to come back out on top at the end of the third round,” Stenson said. “I’ve always been of the thought that it’s better to be one ahead than one behind, because that means Phil’s got to play better than I do.”

Mickelson finished three shots ahead of Stenson three years ago at Muirfield when Lefty closed with a 66 in one of the best final rounds of a major. He hasn’t won another tournament since, and at age 46, it appeared time was running out.

GOLF ROUNDUP

Vegas’ lead dwindles before Barbasol play suspended The ASSOCIATED PRESS OPELIKA, Ala. – Jhonattan Vegas’ lead was down to three strokes when rain finally stopped third-round play Saturday in the Barbasol Championship.

Six shots ahead after a course-record 11-under 60 on Friday, Vegas was 1 over for the round and 16 under overall playing the par-4 14th when play was stopped on Grand National’s Lake Course.

The 29-year-old Venezuelan Olympic qualifier failed to qualify for the British

Open and has only past champion status – he won the 2011 Bob Hope Classic – on the PGA Tour. The winner Sunday will get a two-year exemption and a spot in the PGA Championship, but won’t be exempt for the Masters.

David Toms and Aaron Baddeley were 13 under. The 49-year-old Toms was 4 under for the day with four holes left.

Baddeley shot a 64, chipping in on the par-4 18th for his third straight birdie. The 35-year-old Australian, also limited to past champion status, won the last of his three titles in 2011 at Riviera.

eighth and par-4 ninth and 10th holes.

LPGA TOUR Marathon Classic: At Sylvania, Ohio, She added birdies on the par-3 14th and

Hyo Joo Kim had five birdies in a sixhole stretch and shot a 7-under 64 at Highland Meadows to open a threestroke lead.

Kim had shares of the lead the first two days, opening with a 66 on her 21st birthday and shooting a 68 on Friday.

The South Korean player won the season opener in the Bahamas for her third career title.

Kim began the birdie run on the par-4 fifth, parred the par-3 sixth, then ran off four straight on the par-5 seventh, par-3

par-5 17th and parred the par-5 18th to finish at 15 under.

Top-ranked Lydia Ko and Alison Lee were tied for second.

Ko, the 2014 winner, had a bogey-free 67. She missed a short birdie putt on the final hole.

Lee, the 21-year-old American who has struggled in her second season on the tour while still attending classes at UCLA, birdied Nos. 15 through 17 in a 66.

“Feels like I’m playing golf again,” Lee said.

Former Golden State Warriors player Nate Thurmond waves during a ceremony for Chris Mullin on March 19, 2012, in Oakland, Calif. Thurmond died Saturday at age 74.

Green State near Toledo.

Thurmond apprenticed under Hall of Fame center Wilt Chamberlain until the Warriors traded Chamberlain to the Philadelphia 76ers in the middle of the 1964-65 season. Thurmond went on to average 15 points and 15 rebounds a game during his career and still holds the Warriors franchise records for career rebounds and minute played.

The Warriors traded Thurmond to the Bulls before the 1974-75 season. The Bulls traded him after 13 games the next season to his hometown Cavaliers, where he closed out his career in style.

He played a key role in the Cavaliers’ run to the championship his first year in Cleveland. The Cavaliers beat the Washington Bullets in dramatic fashion in seven games to get to the Eastern Conference finals. The Cavaliers lost to the Boston Celtics in six games in the finals, but Thurmond’s leadership that season made him a local legend.

Cavaliers teammate Campy Russell said Saturday “the Cavaliers franchise will always love and respect him as a true Cavalier legend.”

Although he played less than two seasons for the Cavaliers at the end of his career, his jersey number was the first retired by the team.

After the seven-time All-Star selection retired, he worked for the Warriors as a community liaison and broadcast analyst until his illness sidelined him this year.

SAN FRANCISCO – Former NBA great Nate Thurmond, a tenacious defensive center who played with Wilt Chamberlain and was an iconic sports figure in two cities, died Saturday after a short battle with leukemia. Thurmond, who also played with Cleveland and a little more than one season with the Bulls, was 74.

The Golden State Warriors announced the death of one of the team’s most iconic players less than a month after they lost the NBA finals to the Cleveland Cavaliers in seven games.

Both franchises previously retired the Akron, Ohio native’s No. 42 and he is an iconic figure in both cities.

Thurmond played 11 of his 14 seasons with the Warriors and retired after the 1976-77 season, one year after leading the “Miracle” Cavaliers to an improbable trip to the NBA finals.

“Without a doubt, he is one of the most beloved figures to ever wear a Warriors uniform,” Golden State owner Joe Lacob said.

Current Cavalier and Akron native LeBron James said on Twitter: “Knowing u played in the same rec league as me growing up gave me hope of making it out! Thanks!”

The 6-foot-11 Thurmond was voted as one of the best 50 players in NBA history and is considered among the most-dominating centers in the game.

“Nate Thurmond was a giant of his era and one of the greatest players in the history of our game,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement.

Thurmond’s play and numbers weren’t flashy, but he earned the respect of his peers and knowledgeable basketball fans for his consistency, defense and strength.

“Looking back, he was as ferocious as any player in the history of the game on the court, but one of the kindest and nicest souls in his everyday life,” former teammate Al Attles said.

He recorded the first official quadruple double in NBA history as a Bull when he had 22 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists and 12 blocked shots against the Atlanta Hawks in 1974. He is one of only four players to grab more than 40 rebounds in a game.

The Warriors drafted Thurmond with the third overall pick in the 1963 draft after he graduated from Bowling

Hall of Fame driver Lorenzen pledges brain to CTE study

By DAN GELSTON

The Associated Press LOUDON, N.H. – He was one of NASCAR’s first superstars, but Fred Lorenzen’s memories of his Hall of Fame career have dimmed as he battles dementia. His Daytona 500 victory, the wins he piled up to become NASCAR’s first $100,000 driver, his life on the road, all have been largely extinguished.

Lorenzen, an Elmhurst native, still has flickering moments when he remembers the days when he was NASCAR’s “Golden Boy” for his rugged, movie-star looks. Like in recent years, when he visits Chicagoland Speedway, not far from his assisted living facility.

“His face just lights up when he’s there,” said his daughter, Amanda Lorenzen Gardstrom.

Almost 45 years after his last Cup race, Lorenzen hoped he still would make his mark on the NASCAR community. Inspired by Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s decision to pledge his brain to the Concussion Legacy Foundation, Lorenzen became the second known driver to make the same decision.

Gardstrom made it official Friday with a pledge to Legacy co-founder Chris Nowinski. As auto racing grapples with the issue of concussions and head trauma, one of NASCAR’s pioneers is alongside Earnhardt in the donation queue.

“As a family, we decided we wanted to support Dale Junior and all work together toward a healthy future for these drivers,” she told The Associated Press.

Earnhardt’s concussion history – he missed two races in 2012 – spurred his decision to pledge his brain to the Legacy, a group that works with Boston University on research into chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, a degenerative disease that doctors believe is caused by repeated blows to the head.

Gardstrom is convinced the 81-yearold Lorenzen has CTE as a result from years of brutal wrecks and hits from the 1960s. He won the Daytona 500 in 1965.

“He never stopped to heal,” she said.

She wants to help, and knows her father does, too, and advance the understanding of concussions and their treatment in NASCAR. “It’s the younger generation that we really need to educate,” she said.

Fred Lorenzen, who grew up in Elmhurst, is embraced by his daughter, Amanda, as son Chris looks on as he is inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame on Jan. 30, 2015, in Charlotte, N.C. Lorenzen has pledged his brain to the Concussion Legacy Foundation.

“They’re young, they’re hungry, but when they get in a wreck and get a concussion, they know if they don’t get back in the car, someone else is going to take it. We want to change the culture of the sport.”

Earnhardt has become the face of concussion awareness in sports and will skip Sunday’s Sprint Cup race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway because of concussion symptoms. There is no timetable on when NASCAR’s most popular driver might return.

Earnhardt said he was motivated by reading about three former Oakland Raiders who donated their brains in honor of teammate Ken Stabler. The quarterback’s brain showed signs of CTE. Gardstrom felt the same sense of motivation when she read about Earnhardt’s pledge. She said Lorenzen, inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2015, first showed signs of dementia about a decade ago. He has memory loss and uses a wheelchair at Oak Brook Healthcare.

He was one of NASCAR’s first stars to hail from outside the sport’s Southern roots.

SPORTS BRIEFS Fire fall to MLS leader Dallas

FRISCO, Texas – Maximiliano Urriti scored and Fabian Castillo had two assists in FC Dallas’ 3-1 victory over the Fire on Saturday night.

Urriti blasted a header into the top-right corner in the 23rd minute after Castillo beat a pair of defenders and sent a cross to the center of the box. In the 41st, Diaz fired a right-footer, from well outside the box, past the outstretched arms of goalkeeper Matt Lampson, off the post and into the net.

Arturo Alvarez put the Fire (4-9-5) on the board in the first minute of stoppage time but, about a minute later, Castillo hit Mauro Rosales for the clinching goal.

Dallas (12-6-4), the overall MLS leader, rebounded from a 5-0 loss at Seattle on July 13. It has won four of its past five.

Kittel swerves out of the way; Cavendish earns Tour win No. 4

VILLARS-LES-DOMBES, France – Mark Cavendish approached the finish line with so much speed that German rival Marcel Kittel swerved out of the way.

The “Manx Missile” easily sprinted to his fourth stage victory in the Tour de France on Saturday.

“I didn’t see it,” Cavendish said of the incident with Kittel. “I was in front of him.”

Finishing in the main pack during the 14th stage, Chris Froome had little trouble holding onto the yellow jersey.

10 CUBS 3, RANGERS 1

Szczur comes through again in pinch

By JEFF ARNOLD

For the Sun-Times

CHICAGO – Joe Maddon appreciates baseball’s little intricacies perhaps more than most, giving him opportunities to tinker with little things more than many of his major league managing counterparts would.

But it’s in those instances when Maddon’s mind begins to run wild, thinking through and acting on Matt Szczur scenarios that more times than not have paid off for the Cubs this season.

So when Maddon found himself in what he refers to as a “National League moment” on Saturday against the Rangers with two runners on and the Cubs clinging to a one-run lead, he turned to Matt Szczur for the second straight day.

And as he had a day earlier, Szczur was inserted in the pitcher’s spot and came through with a two-out RBI single that helped the Cubs to a 3-1 win at Wrigley Field.

dricks. Saturday, starter Jason Hammel was on deck before Miguel Montero walked, putting runners on first and second after Jason Heyward reached on a fielder’s choice.

Decision time for Maddon.

“It’s the fascinating part about the game in this league compared to the [American League] having to make decisions like that,” Maddon said. “If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t mean it was wrong. You do what you think is the right thing to do in the moment.

“When Matty gets a hit, everybody’s happy. It was a great move. If he doesn’t get a hit, it was still the right thing to do. He’s come through the last couple days really big, giving us a little bit of a pad.”

Szczur came through after the Cubs had difficulty solving Rangers starter Yu Darvish, who made his first start AP photo The Cubs’ Anthony Rizzo watches after since June 8 and who had been on the hitting a two-run double in the third inning disabled list with a shoulder injury.

Darvish struck out five of the first six against the Texas Rangers on Saturday at hitters he faced before the Cubs finally Wrigley Field. The Cubs won, 3-1. got to him in the third inning.

two-out, two-run double that gave the Cubs a 2-1 lead.

Hammel (8-5) gave the Cubs their second straight solid outing by a starter. He allowed only three hits and struck out seven, winning for the first time since June 4. Hammel was effective against the Rangers before the Cubs added an insurance run in the sixth inning.

Adam Warren, Travis Wood and Hector Rondon combined for three hitless innings to preserve the win.

“I’m just going game by game, pitch by pitch and trusting the routine I’ve put together with some help,” Hammel said.

On Saturday, the help again came from the Cubs’ defense and bullpen.

But it was Szczur who came through in a pinch after Maddon made the call to get him into the lineup.

“He’s been big all year,” Heyward said. “It’s tough to do that job – guys like him, La Stella, Javy (Baez) – people who don’t play every day but they give you their best every time. It’s not about the result with them. You just want to know that they’re going up trying and they really put the team first. … It’s awesome to see it pay off.”

CUBS NOTES

Maddon keeps Contreras, others on the move

By JEFF ARNOLD

For The Sun-Times

CHICAGO – If Willson Contreras had his druthers, he would be an everyday major league catcher.

But as part of a Cubs lineup in which positions are interchangeable, Contreras has found himself moving around.

After catching Kyle Hendricks in Friday’s 6-0 win over the Rangers, Contreras was placed in left field for Saturday’s 3-1 win before making the shift back to catcher in the ninth inning.

Much like with Kyle Schwarber last season, manager Joe Maddon has moved his catchers around the field to avoid having their legs take a beating.

But with Contreras, who is hitting .292 with five home runs and 16 RBIs in 25 games with the Cubs, changing his routine is also about keeping his bat in the lineup.

“I always said that once I got here (to the major leagues), I came here to play everywhere to help my team,” Contreras said. “If I have to play left field, right field, I will play. It doesn’t matter to me.

I just want to play.”

Even on days when he’s not catching, Contreras is working on the position as well as continuing to develop relationships with Cubs pitchers. Before Saturday’s game, Contreras caught a Jake Arietta side session.

Maddon has been pairing Contreras with his starters since spring training. Even with the short time Contreras has been with the Cubs, Maddon has seen the comfort Willson between the rookie and Contreras veterans such as Arietta and others grow.

Contreras has, too.

“When I first got here, I felt a little bit uncomfortable because I didn’t know all my pitchers,” he said. “But now, I feel like (it’s better) even though I’ve only been here a month. I hope to be here for a lot of years and help my team win games.”

Getting chippy: Saturday starter Jason Hammel had a relaxing All-Star break when he reconnected with family, hit the beach and played golf. But

the biggest revelation may have come from a team doctor who prescribed a unique remedy for the cramps Hammel has been experiencing.

“He said potato chips because they’ve got a lot of potassium and, obviously, the sea salt helps retain water,” Hammel said. “So I focused on that and I ate a lot of potato chips. I think it turned out well. So (a) potato chip prescription – or PCP – I think that’s what I’m going to try and go with.”

Scoreboard watching: As much of a game-by-game approach as Maddon takes, he admitted Saturday that come August, he becomes a serious scoreboard watcher. For now, however, there’s not a day that goes by that Maddon doesn’t know exactly where the Cubs stand. His players do, too, even though they’ll deny caring about such things.

SOX NOTES

Sox will use caution with recuperating Rodon

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Left-hander Carlos Rodon is eligible to come off the disabled list after the White Sox’s road trip ends Wednesday in Seattle, but it seems unlikely the second-year left-hander will be close to returning to the mound that soon even though he reported progress Saturday with his sprained left wrist.

Rodon, who hurt the wrist when he slipped in the dugout July 9, played catch from 60 feet and said he’s getting some mobility back.

“It felt alright. It will take a little bit of time, but it’s getting there,’’ Rodon said.

There seems to be a good chance Triple-A Charlotte right-hander Jacob Turner (4-7, 4.71 ERA), who will be called up to pitch the series finale against the Angels on Sunday, will stick around to make another start.

“Playing catch is one thing, letting it loose is going to be a whole other issue,” manager Robin Ventura said of Rodon. “But we’re still pleased with where he’s at and where it’s going. But until he

throws like he would in a game that’s when you know.”

Rodon, the 2014 No. 3 overall draft pick who was 5-2 with a 1.81 ERA over the past eight starts of his rookie season, is 2-7 with a 4.50 ERA this season.

“It wasn’t good,” Rodon said of his first half. “Especially with that run I had at the Carlos Rodon end there (last season), I wanted to build off that.

It just didn’t happen. I wasn’t throwing well, walking guys, falling behind on guys. Hopefully in the second half I can turn it around.

“I’m just trying to forget about it now.

I’m trying to take it as a new season.”

Turner time: The Sox claimed Turner off waivers last fall from the Cubs, who carried him on the 60-day disabled list for most of 2015. He was nontendered, signed to a $1.5 million contract and had a chance to win a spot in the rotation during spring training before Mat Latos was signed.

Turner will have to be placed on the 40-man roster Sunday. He is 1-6 in his past 11 starts but has allowed two or fewer runs in three of his past three, including a complete-game shutout June 24 at Gwinnett.

Morneau makes first start: Designated hitter Justin Morneau, who pinch hit and grounded out in his first at-bat as a Sox on Friday night, got his first start Saturday night against Angels righthander Matt Shoemaker and is expected to start again Sunday against righthander Jered Weaver.

The Sox face lefties Wade LeBlanc and Wade Miley and righty Felix Hernandez in Seattle next week, and Ventura said Morneau could get two starts there.

“We’ll see how he does in these two games [in Anaheim],” Ventura said.

Morneau, 35, a first baseman by trade, doesn’t figure to get a lot of time on the field aside from spelling Jose Abreu when he needs time off his feet, Ventura said.

“I wouldn’t think there would be a ton of it,” Ventura said.

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Something happened to the White Sox over the All-Star break, although they started to zone out before that during a weekend series against the Atlanta Braves.

While losing two of three to halt a streak of five straight series wins, the Sox didn’t score in the last 13 innings against the last-place Braves before going on vacation. Since they came back, they have been shut out twice in two nights by the last-place Los Angeles Angels to run their streak of scoreless innings to 32.

The All-Star break is an anticipated and needed one during the daily grind of a season that begins in February in spring training. But there are traps. Just ask the Sox’ secretary of energy, Brett Lawrie.

Teams that don’t hit look flat whether they are into it or not, and the Sox – who were shut out in three straight games for the first time since 1968 – certainly looked the part against Matt Shoemaker, who had a career high 13 strikeouts.

Shoemaker (5-9) went the distance and ended it by striking out Todd Frazier and Justin Morneau after the Sox put runners on the corners with a double

“Offensively we’re struggling and we have to figure out a way to put some runs on the board,” manager Robin Ventura said, “especially with what Gonzo (MiAP photo guel Gonzalez) did last night (two earned The White Sox’s Todd Frazier takes off his gloves after striking out in the fourth inning runs over six innings) and what Shields did tonight.” against the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night in Anaheim, Calif.

12 OLYMPICS

Grant H.S. grad takes detour to Rio VIEWS Rick Telander

You don’t always see an Olympic competitor pull up to a roadhouse bar/restaurant on a big black Harley-Davidson motorcycle along with his older brother on a big blue Harley.

Maybe you never do. Who is the historian to let us know?

But the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics are coming soon, and here we have former Grant High School and University of Iowa wrestler Dan Dennis, 29, and his big bro, Charlie, 33, arriving on a beautiful summer day at the Fatman Inn in north suburban Gurnee on choppers that might have been borrowed from “Easy Rider.”

Dan Dennis is the American qualifier in the 125.5-pound freestyle wrestling division, and if he has done anything normal in his sports career, nobody much cares.

For it is his extreme athletic arc, the ups and downs, that is fascinating.

To begin with, Dennis finished second in two IHSA state wrestling championships, with neither of his winning foes going on to have his collegiate success.

Second, he came so close to winning an NCAA championship his senior year at Iowa that if you blinked in the final seconds of the 2010 133-pound match, you missed Dennis giving up a 4-2 lead and losing to Minnesota’s Jayson Ness in as shocking an ending as you’ll see in high-level sports.

“Boy, they’re brawling now,” the TV announcer said in the last minute.

Then, after the buzzer, “We talked about mental attitude before the match – you can’t give up – you have to see yourself being successful, and he did it at the most critical time!”

That meant fifth-year senior Ness.

Without it being said, Dennis was not just the loser, but the athlete of weaker will.

Oh, brother. This in a sport that is 90 percent will.

How do you go on after that?

Dennis did come back and wrestled internationally out of Iowa City for a few years, then flat-out quit in 2013.

He was, in a word, fried.

He got in his truck, a “Bondo-ed, black-spray-painted” 1988 F-150, as Dennis describes it, and took off.

He headed west, as restless pioneers did, to escape it all, to Wyoming, to Utah, to California – to Moab, Zion,

“My body was beat up. And mentally I was beat up, too.

That’s when I decided to follow the day.”

Dan Dennis

Former Grant High School and University of Iowa wrestler, on his decision to walk away from the sport in 2013

Devils Tower, Indian Creek – and climbed rocks, hills and mountains, coaching at random wrestling camps, pondering life, sleeping in his truck.

“I loved that truck,” he says now, wistfully, over a Miller beer and a bowl of chili. “It had a bench seat, and my hair just touched one armrest and my feet the other. An inch taller, and I wouldn’t have fit.”

He’s 5-foot-4 and wiry as rawhide, for those keeping score.

“My body was beat up,” he explains of his exit. “And mentally I was beat up, too. That’s when I decided to follow the day.”

Curiously, it was the best therapy possible. It may have been pure science – rest, relax, refresh, regroup.

Dennis doesn’t think it was crazy at all, the two years gone, sleeping in parks, in hotel lots, on deserted gravel roads. Indeed, wrestling is such a brutal mano-a-mano sport in which, as Dennis points out, “underdogs win all the time,” that serious time off is something all coaches should consider giving to their stars.

Still, Dennis says he was finished.

“I was done wrestling, for good.”

But there’s another thing to consider. The Dennis family of rural Ingleside, an unincorporated area outside Fox Lake – a middle sister, Melissa, 31, “is a bad-ass swimmer,” says Dan – has always been close to nature. And adventure.

Charlie, for example, had taken off and lived in his car for a spell as a young man.

“A Honda Civic,” Charlie notes.

“So I was in a suite compared to him!” Dan says with a chuckle.

And, eventually, Dan came back to Iowa City, trained a bit and entered the 2015 U.S. Open to see what would happen. He finished fourth, giving him a shot at the World Cup team trials. Crazily, he finished second.

That earned him a chance at the U.S. Olympic trials.

He beat Tony Ramos, 2-1 and 10-0, in their best-of-three championship matches, with the final match being something to behold. In it, Dennis grabbed Ramos and rolled him to the left for two points, then, without letting go, rolled him to the right for four points, for six, for eight and again for 10. It looked like two kids log-rolling down a hill.

Gut clench, it’s called.

“He won’t tell you,” says proud Charlie, a drug counselor in Highland Park, “but [world champion Vladimer Khinchegashvili] couldn’t stop that roll, either.”

As the brothers head off up Route 41, Dan Dennis guns his chopper’s front wheel a foot or two off the pavement. Pure joy, it looks like.

Well-earned.

I have a Madras jockstrap to thank I didn’t go to my 10-year Elmwood Park High School class reunion. I didn’t go to the 20th or the 25th.

I probably would have gone to all of them, but I wasn’t invited.

But I guess that’s about right, because I didn’t go to EPHS graduation either.

Late in my junior year of high school, my parents picked up roots and moved us out of town, so I had to transfer to West Leyden High School for my senior year.

I never felt I belonged there, and most of that school’s student body agreed with me.

Because at that time, and in that place, you were either a greaser or you were a climber. And while Elmwood Park was mostly a climber school, Leyden was all greaser.

Like most high school kids searching for their identity, I expressed my unique independent spirit by dressing, talking and acting exactly the way my classmates did. And so when I suddenly showed up in the greaser hallways of West Leyden wearing penny loafers, white Levis, Madras plaid shirt and blow-dried hair, I made quite a first impression.

Because every other guy in the hallways sported black Banlon shirts, baggy blue slacks, engineer boots and hair you could lube a Chevy with.

My first week at Leyden was an adventure for a kid who always had tried to fly as just one more sparrow in the climber flock. Suddenly, without even changing feathers, I was the ugly duckling.

I met Monday’s taunts with ears red from embarrassment.

By Wednesday, my cheeks were red as I picked up my books from the floor, “accidentally” spilled from my arms by a casual bump in the hallway.

By Friday, it was my fists that were red, and I was introduced to the dean of students.

And for the first time in my life, I decided to fly against the flock. I refused to dump my climber duds and change to greaser garb just for the sake of fitting in with a new bunch of sparrows.

Frank Luckenbach, the king of the

EnvironmentTip Make recycling a second thought

Make recycling your second thought. Yes, you read that correctly. Think about it – it makes sense to reduce waste in the first place so there is not a need for recycling. So the critical first step in waste prevention is to promote a greater awareness of the importance of the “Reduce” part of the Reduce-Reuse-Recycle mantra.

Begin by simplifying your life. Only keep belongings you use/enjoy on a regular basis. Reduce your

greasers, took especial joy in making me the target of his derision. It didn’t help that his gym locker was right next to mine.

“Jeez,” he said to me, “don’t you wear anything but that sissy Madras plaid? I’ll bet you even have a Madras jockstrap!”

I drove that Saturday to a shop called The Style Center in Oak Park that claimed they carried or could get any item of clothing you might want. “Do you sell Madras jockstraps?” I asked the lady.

She laughed. “I’d have to make one for you. Come back tomorrow?”

And so on Monday, as I changed clothes for gym class, Frank Luckenbach took one look at me and roared, “I knew it!”

After that, the ridicule took on a sharper edge in the hallways, as you might imagine. Except now I embraced my oddness, made it mine and mine alone.

But another, more interesting change also seemed to be in the works, because I couldn’t help but notice some of the girls were smiling at me as I passed. And not in a bad way.

And gradually, over the next weeks and months, I noticed a few other guys wearing penny loafers. And plaid shirts.

And white Levis. And blow-dried hair you could dry a wet Chevy with.

A girl’s smile can move mountains, it seems.

It may be my sense of irony was born then, because in no more than a week or two I had morphed from flock minion, to oddball outcast, to fashion maven – all without changing my clothes.

Something deeper was born in me then, too, because I realized if something as meaningless as a plaid shirt can make you an accepted follower, or a reviled pariah, or an innovative leader, then the flock – any flock – cannot be the final authority on what’s right or what’s wrong.

I realized no matter what you do, someone will approve. Someone will disapprove. Most won’t even notice as much as you think they will.

And, armed with my new understand-

ing, I did daring things I never before would have tried for fear of ridicule. I picked up a guitar and sang in public. I danced. I wrote my thoughts on paper, signed my name to them and published them for others to read week after week.

And that’s how, at long last, I got invited to my 50th high school class reunion.

Because a few years ago, one of my old Elmwood Park classmates ran across a column of mine. We emailed back and forth, and then a few other classmates joined in.

And when they found out I played in an old-school classic rock band, they started coming to gigs.

“Where did all this come from?”

Marilee asked me at one gig. “The music, the writing? You didn’t do anything like that in high school, did you?”

She was right, I didn’t. It took some ridicule, some fistfights and a Madras jockstrap to get me there.

And when they planned their 50th class reunion, they asked me to come and to bring my band along to provide the music.

That reunion will happen this weekend, and I can’t wait to see all my old friends again.

Well, I guess I shouldn’t call them “old” friends, should I? After all, people who are a half-century out of high school can get a bit touchy about their age.

But not me, because my band is called Old’s Cool, and I’m not afraid of being called “old.”

I learned long ago when it comes to revealing your age – and most other things – some people will approve, some will disapprove, and most won’t care one way or the other.

But if you insist on doing the math to figure out how old a guy would be after a half-century out of high school, I’ll tell you straight up: I just turned fifty-eighteen.

purchases. Think before you buy any product. Do you really need it? How did the production of this product impact the environment, and what further impacts will there be with the disposal of the product (and associated packaging materials)?

For one day, afternoon or hour a week, don’t buy anything. Don’t use machines. Don’t switch on anything electric. Don’t cook. Don’t answer your phone. In general, don’t use any resources.

Wherever possible, replace disposable products

with reusable ones. Buy used products whenever possible and consider donating good usable items you find unnecessary.

Finally, refuse single-use products such as straws, shopping bags, beverage cups and takeout containers. Create Earth-healthy habits and share your practices with others to offer encouragement.

And then in the end, if you must, please recycle.

Learning life skills

Nature camps aim to draw kids from screens to the outdoors

By KATHERINE ROTH The Associated Press

In this age of screens and busy schedules, nature day camps are in demand, and many offer a more diverse array of experiences than parents probably realize.

“Offering children direct contact with nature – getting their feet wet and hands muddy – should be at the top of the list of vital camp experiences,” said Richard Louv, author of “Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder” (Algonquin Books, 2008). His writings are cited by many nature camp directors as inspiring their work.

Nature-oriented day camps are held in county parks, private preserves, botanical gardens and other green places across the country.

“There’s a real movement toward helping more kids connect with nature,” said Sarah Milligan-Toffler, executive director of the Children in Nature Network, a Minneapolis-based non-profit group for which Louv is chairman emeritus.

Nature camps generally combine immersion in natural outdoor settings with art and science education, said Michael Goldman, education manager at the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey in Maitlin,

Florida. It is one of dozens of Audubon centers across the country that together offer nature camps to more than 6,000 kids each summer. In addition to camps for younger kids, three Audubon centers offer residential camps for teens and adults.

“Just being in nature, smelling the earth, feeling the textures of natural things, is something kids don’t get many chances to do anymore, and it’s so important for development,” he said.

“So many children can easily name a hundred brands for commercial goods, but they can’t name a hundred plants in their backyard. In a sense then, they are aliens in their own homes. Even their teachers often don’t know an oak from a maple tree.

So where are they going to learn all that if they don’t go to nature camp?”

While most camps are geared toward elementary and middle-school-age children, some nature centers and botanic gardens now offer day camps for kids as young as 4, said Patricia Hulse, director of the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden, part of the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx.

Despite the garden’s expanded number of day camps, registration generally fills up within about a month of opening. Experiences include climbing trees and wading into ponds.

At the Ladew Topiary Gardens in Monkton,

Maryland, camps include outdoor exploration, science and engineering experiments, art projects, stories, physical activities and puppet shows, said Sheryl Pedrick, education director at the gardens.

At the Audubon Center in Maitlin, Goldman said, “the kids take turns guiding us back to camp through the woods. We track animals, say a raccoon or a coyote. And when you see some coyote scat on the ground, the kids go wild. Then you mash it around a little and see berries, and maybe some fur, and the kids think about it and realize that means the animals are omnivores.”

“I’m sometimes as blown away by the kids as they are by nature,” he adds, describing a 10-yearold girl who once came to him with 10 snakes in each hand.

“She was a real biologist, full of passion and courage. She not only knew how to identify non-poisonous snakes, but she knew just where to find so many of them. And she learned those things by going to nature camp.”

Some skills learned at nature camps can be life-saving, as well as life-changing.

“Knowing how to make pine needle soup, how to identify plants and animals with accuracy, could in some situations be crucial to survival,” Goldman said. “Plus, learning about them is so much fun.”

YEARS Retrievers, cats bring smiles, health benefits to elderly through Assisi Animal Foundation therapy program

By SAMANTHA MOORE • smoore@shawmedia.com

hen Bandit and Lily visited the residents of Fox Point in McHenry, they were popular guests.

The black and white shorthair and Himalayan Siamese

cats are among the therapy animals at Assisi Animal Foundation of Crystal Lake that make regular visits to senior facilities in McHenry County. Along with Abby, a 14-year-old golden retriever, they brought smiles every time they stopped to say hello.

Cats are an important part of the Pets for Patient Progress program, shelter co-founder Lee Linklater said.

“I think we are one of the few that do feature cats, because we know there are as many people out there who are goofy about cats as dogs, particularly among the elderly,” she said. “We feel that cats are an important component.”

See ASSISI, page 5

• ASSISI

Linklater said some residents don’t care for dogs, or don’t like big dogs, like the two 100-pound golden retrievers who work in the program, and for them a cat sitting quietly in their lap is a better fit to provide the health benefits therapy animals are known for.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, health benefits include lowering blood pressure, cholesterol and feelings of loneliness or depression. Researchers also have documented therapy animals as having a positive effect on pain levels and linked them to many other health benefits.

Since opening its doors in 1988, Assisi Animal Foundation was the first no-kill shelter in McHenry County.

“No-kill wasn’t popular, it wasn’t accepted in the mid to late ’80s,” Linklater said. “My response was, ‘This is a private organization, our policy is no kill, and that’s the way it will be.’ ” Since 1987, the foundation’s therapy program has brought animals to local facilities to bring joy to residents.

Linklater said the original intent was to visit medical facilities, “hospitals, particularly, and I was especially interested in children’s wards because I was teaching, but at the time it was frowned upon.”

Of course, she says, all that has changed now.

“I think the longer it goes on, the more insights we discover as to the impact it has on the people it reaches,” Linklater said.

A few years ago, one of the program’s cats was placed upon the lap of a woman in serious condition, lacking mobility and the ability to speak. Although it was initially the nurse that moved the woman’s arm to pet the cat, when she ceased assisting, the patient continued petting the cat on her own.

“It was really touching,” Linklater

Retirees must decide if pets fit in lifestyle

Animal control to participate in Clear the Shelters Day NORTHWEST HERALD

By SUE MANNING • The Associated Press

D

enise and John Stevens have had pets their whole lives – then they retired.

“After our last dog passed away, we decided not to get another one. We like the freedom from worrying about her,” Denise Stevens, 63, said of the Long Island, New York, couple whose Jack Russell terrier died last year. “We tend to treat these dogs like children.”

Baby boomers are retiring in record numbers, and many wonder whether a dog or cat belongs in their golden years.

Some seniors want the companionship, but others worry about declining health, failing to outlive a new pet, moving to a facility that doesn’t allow animals and tighter budgets.

Some, like the Stevenses, just want a break from the responsibility of owning a pet.

For retirees who want a dog or cat – at least sometimes – there are unique programs to help connect older people and pets, said Kristen Levine, a pet living and lifestyle expert who works with those older than 50.

Organizations are toying with pet rentals, having senior citizens foster animals, arranging for several families to share a pet, or bringing therapy dogs to homes instead of just hospitals.

While retirees are making decisions about their lifestyles, rest homes, assisted living centers and retirement communities are looking at how to accommodate seniors over the next two decades, Levine said.

Officials at A Place for Mom, the nation’s largest senior living referral service, which is based in Washington state, say more than 40 percent of those seeking a housing referral ask whether pets are permitted.

“The aging industry is receptive

to working with the pet industry,” Levine said. Both will make money, “but ultimately the pet lover is the winner.”

Even those who have spent their lives working with animals have to decide whether their future will include pets.

“I’m edging up to that moment – I’m just about 60 and retired. We lost our dog of 15 years last year. We are thinking about what to do next,” said Stephen Zawistowski, who was a science adviser for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and was with the group for nearly 27 years.

Much has been written about how pets help people, but it’s not the same for everyone, he said.

“The idea that pets are the panacea for stress and loneliness is not necessarily true for everybody,” Zawistowski said. For some, it might be painting

$

or playing an instrument, he said.

He believes money is the biggest obstacle to keeping a pet. He and his wife have two elderly cats and know how much it can cost to keep them.

“I am taking my cat now for weekly acupuncture at $125 a week,” Zawistowski said. “That’s probably more than the planned food budget for many people.”

Despite the costs, he said the couple likely will get another dog after they move from Pennsylvania to Michigan.

And Denise Stevens said it’s just a matter of time before a pooch catches her eye.

“Dogs are constant companions, full of unconditional love – it doesn’t matter what you do or what kind of day you had,” said Stevens, who works part time and whose 70-year-old husband is a volunteer firefighter. “They look at you, they keep you going, keep you active. It’s wonderful.”

CRYSTAL LAKE – McHenry County Animal Control and Adoption Center will participate in Clear the Shelters Day from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. July 23, waiving adoption fees for all adoptable, cats and dogs older than 6 months.

More than 400 shelters across the country are participating in the event. In addition to waved fees, MCAC has provided animals available for adoption with medical care and microchipping so they start off at their new homes on the right foot.

“Our goal is finding homes for all of our animals, so not only is there not an adoption fee, but adopted pets go to new owners already spayed or neutered, micro-chipped, treated for parasites, fleas and ticks and vaccinated with age-appropriate vaccines, including the rabies shot,” Maryellen Howell, manager of MCAC, said in a news release.

Last year, more than 19,000 pets found homes through Clear the Shelters Day, including 22 animals at MCAC. The national goal this year for “Clear the Shelters Day” is to find homes for 20,000 animals.

To see animals available for adoption, visit Friends of McHenry County Animal Control & Adoption Center on Facebook or visit the shelter, 100 N. Virginia St., Crystal Lake. For information, visit www.mcdh. info or call animal control at 815-459-6222.

Short survey helps assess community health needs Share your experiences with us in our Community Health Survey.

Do you have a concern relating to health, wellness or access to services in McHenry County? Have you ever thought, “I wish someone was doing something about this”? From now until Aug. 7, you can take an online survey at www.mcdh.info to make sure your perspective is counted in the 2016 Healthy Community Assessment.

Being distributed by The Healthy Community Partnership, the survey is one of three assessment methods (along with focus groups and community leader input) looking at issues affecting the health and quality of life for residents of McHenry County. A “healthy community” encompasses a broad range of characteristics that define what it means to be a healthy

place to live. Quality of life priorities determined from the survey and other assessment methods are used by the partnership to plan community services and help meet local needs.

Together with the Health Department, the partnership includes Advocate Good Shepherd and Sherman Hospitals, Centegra Health System, Community Health Partnership Clinic, McHenry County Mental Health Board, McHenry County Substance Abuse Coalition, Pioneer Center for Human Services, Rosecrance of McHenry County and United Way of McHenry County.

Conducted previously in 2006, 2010 and 2014, the Community Health Assessment provides a roadmap outlining the priorities of residents for health and a healthy lifestyle in McHenry County. Updated every

four years, the assessment gathers information about the current health status of county residents, demographic trends, social and economic indicators, health behaviors and utilization of health services. The assessments also try to understand the perceptions of community strengths and weaknesses as well as answer questions about health and human services delivery, unmet needs, gaps and barriers to care.

Examples of major concerns from prior surveys include diverse things such as access to dental care for low-income populations, diabetes, access to mental health care, obesity and nutrition and public transportation.

Results of the previous Community Health Assessments can be reviewed by visiting the MCDH website at www.mcdh.info and clicking on

‘Pick your battles’ and other bad relationship advice “Pick Your Battles” is a phrase I often hear women say to friends, newlyweds or their younger proteges. I also hear “wait for the right moment” to talk about an issue. These beliefs often have confused me, because when I pick my battles, that means I brush unexpressed feelings under the rug, and when I wait for the “right moment,” the moment passes and I blow up later.

When I do not express myself openly and honestly, I generate distance in my relationship and create an environment of secrecy.

These are two phrases that keep relationships from growing and reaching a true place of intimacy. I suggest replacing “pick your battles” with “know what you are fighting for” and replacing “wait for the right moment” with “take 100 percent responsibility for my feelings and behaviors.”

Dr. John Gottman, healthy relationship guru, claims conflict in relationships is healthy and important. Couples need conflict. If it does not exist in your relationship, start challenging yourself

and your partner. In conflict are the moments when you really get to know someone and see how the two of you move toward resolution and ultimately grow. It is when people withhold what they feel, act defensive and blame others when a relationship goes sour. This is true in all relationships of intimacy – familyships and friendships.

My partner and I often start to argue over something small such as being late to a date or checking out on our phones.

One snide comment, and it turns into a full-blown argument. Historically, my arguments would go nowhere, resolution was nonexistent, and the same topics resurfaced. I would withhold my thoughts and want to blame Chris for how I was feeling. I did not take responsibility for what was going on inside me. I did not know what I was fighting for.

We created ground rules around conflict – when we argue and want to blame the other for how we feel (mad, sad, hurt, disgusted or afraid), we ask ourselves, “What am I fighting for?”

More often than not, it is to know the other is truly listening, that we are loved, we are respected and full trust exists between us. When Chris says things like “I want to know you have what it takes to be the mother of my children and not check out on your smartphone.” I respect his honesty and see a better picture of where his feelings are coming from. We still have some work to do in this area, but it has supported our level of intimacy tremendously. Research claims couples that can share their core emotions and feelings with their partner have the greatest longevity.

There is never the right moment to talk about an issue. Waiting for the right time to express how you feel will lead to invalidation, built-up resentment and rationalization of a problem or feeling. Looking at my parents’ relationship before their separation, they waited for four years to talk about the distance between them. When they finally started discussing the topic, it was too late. When you wait to share

how you feel, it opens the space to start questioning your feelings, create stories that may not be true and build up hurt or anger.

Historically, I would try to find the right moment to talk, and now I work to express how I feel in the moment. There are many times I do not really know what is bubbling inside me or a resolution I am looking for but I just blurt out what I am feeling. This leads to good discussion and creates accountability between us. When I am honest, Chris is honest – I guide the direction I want the relationship to go.

Fully expressing with your partner takes practice but renders deep intimacy. Set some ground rules to work toward resolution and intimacy.

Gem Talk : A 4-C’s Refresher

While I was at a pool party this past weekend, I was asked about the 4-C’s and what they really mean. The friend that I was talking with had no idea what they mean outside of the literal terms of cut, color, clarity and carat weight or the importance of each one when considering a diamond purchase. We always hear about the 4-C’s and their importance, but what does it all mean?

Cut is the most important of the 4-C’s. Often thought of as the shape of the diamond (round, marquise, cushion, etc.), a diamonds cut grade is really how well the facets interact with light. When the facet junctions are lined up perfectly or as near to perfect as they can get (usually called an ideal cut), more light will be able to bounce around within the diamond and come out through the table creating extreme fire. When a diamond is poorly cut, the light will refract differently within the stone and exit through the sides or the pavilion rather than the table creating a duller and less sparkly diamond.

Clarity refers to the absence of inclusions (within the stone) and blemishes (surface features of the stone). Since natural diamonds are a product of Mother Nature, usually during their formation other materials will get trapped within the forming diamond. There are 11 specific clarity grades with flawless at the top and I3 at the bottom – both are very rare and hard to come by. Most diamonds typically fall within the VS-SI range.

Color actually refers to the lack of color or how white the stone is. The higher the color grade, the whiter the stone is going to be. The color grading scale runs from D to Z with most diamonds typically falling in the near-colorless range of G-J. When a gemologist grades for color, they look through the pavilion or bottom of the stone rather than the top. This is because, based on the way a diamond is cut, the color typically is the strongest and most concentrated in the pavilion.

Finally we have carat, not to be confused with karat (the measurement for gold) weight. The carat weight is how much the diamond weighs. A metric carat is defined as 200 milligrams. With all else being equal, diamond price increases with carat weight. However, you could have 2 of the same size stones, with very different clarity, color and cut grades and the prices will also be very different.

It’s very important not to judge a stone based solely on its weight, the other C’s play a very important role in diamond quality and value.

Regarding mental health and social justice I am angry, overwrought and downright depressed about the latest examples in a long line of social injustices. I refer to the recent spate of unnecessary killings of black men by police officers, as well as the outright murder of peaceful police officers by an angry black man.

I am not the only one. But, because I am a mental health professional, people ask me how to fix things. I attended a Mental Health Board training on how to predict whether or not a given individual is likely to become violent. Guess what? It is impossible.

Oh, it is easy, after the fact, to point out all the factors that should have been red flags. Problem is, as predictors of violence, red flags are just that – warning signs that may or may not accurately predict a given individual in a given situation will, in fact, become violent. Most, as it happens, do not. Violence, despite what the evening news leads one to believe, is a relatively rare phenomenon. For example: Look at your neighborhood schools. What is the likelihood that a mass shooting will occur in one of them this year? The answer is practically non-existent.

Every day I talk to people who are depressed, angry, scared, confused and sometimes delusional. Many

“Every day I talk to people who are depressed, angry, scared, confused and sometimes delusional. Many of them have a history of violence. ... Most of the time, though, people do not act on their hostile impulses. Sometimes, it is the simplest gesture, the smallest kindness, that defuses a bad situation, that persuades a walking human bomb the world is a better place than they have imagined.” of them have a history of violence, either as victims or perpetrators, sometimes a little of each. Most of the time, though, people do not act on their hostile impulses. Sometimes, it is the simplest gesture, the smallest kindness, that defuses a bad situation, that persuades a walking human bomb the world is a better place than they have imagined.

One man told me he was going to kill himself and was deflected because someone called and asked him to join her for a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

Another told me about the time he had resolved to hit his wife with a baseball bat and did not because his dog barked at him, waking him up to the path he was on. To that end, I think we all have an obligation to make the world a kinder, gentler place.

My suggestion, when people ask, is to do something kind for a stranger at least once a day. You can do it as often as you like, of course, but at least once a day is the prescription. My personal favorite is to pay for the person behind me at McDonald’s. I also speak to people in line at the grocery store, and sometimes I let them go ahead of me. That way, the world I inhabit becomes filled with loving kindness – at least in my imagination.

When I do these things, I discover I am less irritable. I discover I am less judgmental. I discover I am less depressed about the state of the nation. When I encounter someone who is angry, depressed irritable and brittle, I do not react with fear or avoidance. Instead, I see someone who is in trouble, and I talk to them like another passenger in the green

and blue lifeboat we call earth.

I also refuse to listen to the evening news before I go to bed. Today, someone sent me a cartoon with the caption, “My desire to be informed is at odds with my desire to stay sane.”

I’d rather stay sane, so I don’t listen to the endless hysteria of so-called “reporters” fanning the flames to get more viewers. Instead, I listen to NPR on the way to work on the theory that public funding is likely to produce a more balanced account of things.

There isn’t a lot I can do to change our complex and often troubled society. In the past, I marched with Dr. King, and I marched against the war in Vietnam, and I marched for gay rights, and I raised money for abused children, and I stood up for victims of domestic violence. I can’t march any more. I’m old, and can’t walk a block without having to sit down.

But I can do one kind thing for a stranger every day. And so can you.

Struggling with different viewpoints of addiction Dear Mr. Atwater: If you are addicted to one thing, does that mean you automatically are addicted to everything?

Also, if you were an alcoholic and you stopped drinking for a long time, can you drink alcohol again? My husband was a pot smoker and a cocaine user and only uses occasionally now, but he says he can take pain pills because he was never addicted to those. He also started drinking again after almost four years and now says he never really had a problem. That’s sure not what I remember. Can you

settle this for us?

Dear Reader: What you see is a guy who vastly is improved because he no longer uses cocaine or pot regularly and who, having stopped drinking for four years, earned the right to have a few drinks.

What I see is a guy who may or may not have curtailed his cocaine and pot use but says he has, who has added a drug (pain pills, whatever that means chemically) and justifies its misuse, and who drank enough to need to stop for four years and now is drinking. Do you see a differ-

ence in our views?

You clearly know enough to question your husband’s logic but don’t have quite enough recovery yourself to stay out of the addictive thinking process.

Here are the facts regarding addictive disease: a drug is a drug. The disease does not care what form the escape from self takes. It may take the form of a liquid or a solid. It may be smoked, injected or swallowed, and, most insidious of all, it can morph into a process addiction such as gambling, sex,

eating or even religion.

Addictive disease is the only illness that tells the sufferer he or she doesn’t have it. Rationalization and justification are symptoms, not reasons.

Regarding the “re-drinking” problem, if a person stops drinking for reasons we only can assume are negative, we generally see the need to stop as a symptom. Couple this symptom with the others your husband demonstrates, and I would suggest he is not a good candidate for social drinking, especially since

he’s already tried that.

His drinking and drug use are his issues to contend with, and yours are to decline to participate in his world view and to get well yourself in whatever way you can. AlAnon might be a good choice.

Fun and fulfilling alternatives to golf carts Golfboard

By JOHN MARSHALL The Associated Press

The most fun you’ll ever have playing a round of golf outside of a hole-inone.

Riding a Golfboard is like carving waves of green fairway between shots.

The board is similar to a snowboard, surfboard or skateboard, only attached to four, 4-inch turf tires and powered by a motor, with the clubs strapped to the front.

Although the Golfboard involves a bit of training before heading out, it’s relatively easy to pick up. It’s also a decent workout for core muscles with the leaning, twisting and turning to get the board to turn.

The Golfboard was created by Don Wildman, owner of Bally Total Fitness, with the help of his friend, professional surfer and avid golfer Laird Hamilton.

It won best new product of the year at the 2014 PGA Merchandise Show and is available at more than 150 golf courses around the world.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Golf, at its inception, was a game of physical activity. Hit the ball and walk to find it, sometimes up to 5 miles during an 18-hole round.

The advent of motorized golf carts has limited the amount of exertion mainly to the two or three seconds it takes to swing on each shot. There are a few die-hards who still like to walk – some with pull carts – but the modern version of the game has turned into hit the ball, drive and find it.

That trend has started to change in recent years as golf courses have diversified the way golfers get around, adding an element of fitness and fun to their rounds with snowboard-like carts, mountain bikes and Segways.

“Why go to a gym and run on a treadmill or ride a stationary bike when you can come out to a beautiful golf course and ride a Golfboard or mountain bike?” said Nancy Dickens, director of golf at Westin Kierland Golf Club, which offers Golfboards, Golf Bikes and Segway golf carts.

A few of the alternatives to traditional golf carts:

Because the two-wheeled Segway is balance-based and has an unfamiliar feel to most people, it takes a little more training – up to an hour at Kierland.

Author Spotlight GEORGE SWIMMER The railroads, those who ride on railroads, rail fans, accident victims and their families, and the general public.

What’s your book about?

As a citizen advocate, I have spent more than 20 years investigating the causes behind railroad collisions. What I discovered was a tangled mess of both inadvertent and intentional mismanagement. In ‘Railroad Collisions,” I fault the railroads themselves for poor risk management, but the industry is by no means the only culpable party. The Federal Railroad Administration’s timid dealings with railroad companies impairs meaningful changes, while the National Transportation Safety Board’s findings in many of their accident investigations are questionable. I support these arguments with concrete examples, interviews with locomotive engineers, railroad safety professionals and others, and extensive research.

Where did the idea come from?

More than 20 years of being a member of the DuPage Railroad Safety Council and as a citizen advocate investigating train accidents.

In the book I not only address the causes of collisions, but I also interview several family members of those killed in railroad accidents.

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

This is a sensitive, well-researched, hard-hitting nonfiction book. For more than 20 years, I have felt there are far too many rail collisions, and overall there is a poor job of managing risk.

Who is the intended audience?

Hometown: Downers Grove Latest Book: “Railroad Collisions: A Deadly Story of Mismanaged Risk” Publisher: Createspace Release Date: November 2015

11

Why is this story important to you?

My involvement in rail safety began in 1989.

I was being rushed to Hinsdale Hospital after an auto accident. In the ambulance I was riding in, the radio was blaring – paramedics from a different accident site were trying to save a young boy who had been struck by a Metra train. They were talking to doctors.

Jonathan Goers, the young boy, lived many years disabled, cognitively functioning as an infant, and blinded by the accident. He died in February 2016.

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

About five years. I would write and research for many continuous hours and days. Then, I would put it down for what seemed like several months, thinking I would never finish it.

Then, I would start the cycle all over again.

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

Completing it and being so, so proud of what I had done. It was hard emotionally with many highs and some lows. For example, five people spent many hours helping edit the book. They volunteered their time. They were drawn to what I was doing, and without their support the finished manuscript would have not reached the level I believe it has. I also interviewed many people who gave of their time, knowledge and emotions. Without them, the book would not have reached the level I believe it has.

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

I am an indie through Createspace.

What is your education/background?

I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with various insurance licenses, investment adviser, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and author.

Who are your favorite authors?

Ralph Nader, Ernest Hemingway What’s next for you?

Marketing the book with the ultimate hope that, somehow, it will improve railroad safety.
