Good morning, McHenry County ...

CL library supporters face tough sell I applaud members of the Crystal Lake Library Board and other volunteer supporters who have been working for years on plans to renovate or replace the existing library at 126 W. Paddock St. off McHenry Avenue near downtown Crystal Lake.

Dozens of advocates have put in countless hours to try to find the best possible solution.

But they’re going to have a tough sell with voters and the Crystal Lake City Council, something I’m sure they realize.

The City Council this week voted unanimously to place an advisory referendum on the November ballot asking city voters whether they’d be willing to pay $30 million to build a new library at the existing site.

The owner of a home valued at $200,000 would pay an additional $132 annually.

The unanimous vote does not mean council members support the plan, only that they were willing to gauge public opinion on it.

And I’m guessing a majority of voters won’t be in favor.

In today’s fiscal climate, when taxpayers already are protesting their enormous property

NEW YORK – McDonald’s will become the first major corporation to collaborate with the makers with the wildly popular “Pokémon Go.” The company, based outside of Chicago, will partner with the developer Niantic in Japan where, to the frustration of legions of would-be players, the game has yet to launch. Details of the collaboration were not released.

Small businesses like bars and stores have bought “lures” and “incense,” objects in the game that attract Pokémon creatures and, more importantly, players. But no company has officially partnered with Niantic before now.

In “Pokémon Go” players search for digital creatures that pop up on smartphone screens as they move through real-world locations.

TRIUMPHANT AT RNC

Trump says U.S. is in crisis – and he’ll fix it ‘fast’

By JULIE PACE and ROBERT FURLOW The Associated Press

CLEVELAND – Declaring America in crisis, Donald Trump pledged to cheering Republicans and still-skeptical voters Thursday night that as president he will restore the safety they fear they’re losing, strictly curb immigration and save the nation from Hillary Clinton’s record of “death, destruction, terrorism and weakness.”

Confidently addressing the finale of his party’s less-than-smooth national convention, the billionaire businessman declared the nation’s problems too staggering to be fixed within the confines of traditional politics.

“I have joined the political arena so that the powerful can no longer beat up on people that cannot defend themselves,” Trump said.

The 70-year-old celebrity businessman’s acceptance of the Republican nomination caps his improbable takeover of the GOP, a party that plunges into the general election united in opposition to Clinton but still divided over Trump. Underscoring his unorthodox candidacy, Trump doubled down on the hard-line immigration policies that fired up conservatives in the primary but broke with many in his party by promising protections for gays and lesbians.

His address on the closing night of the convention marked his highest-profile opportunity yet to heal Republican divisions and show voters he’s prepared for the presidency. Ever the showman, he fed off the energy of the crowd, stepping back to soak in applause and joining the delegates as they chanted, “U-S-A.” As the crowd, fiercely opposed to Clinton, broke out in its oft-used refrain of “Lock her up,” he waved them off, and instead declared, “Let’s defeat her in November.” Yet he also accused her of “terrible, terrible crimes” and said her greatest achievement may have been avoiding prison for her use of a private email and personal server as secretary of state.

The more than hourlong speech was strikingly dark for a celebratory event and almost entirely lacking in specific policy details. Trump shouted through-

He accused Clinton, his far-more-experienced Democratic rival, of utterly lacking the good judgment to serve in the White House and as the military’s commander in chief.

“This is the legacy of Hillary Clinton: death, destruction, terrorism and weakness,” he said. “But Hillary Clinton’s legacy does not have to be America’s legacy.”

In a direct appeal to Americans shaken by a summer of violence at home and around the world, Trump promised that if he takes office in January, “safety will be restored.”

As he moves into the general election campaign, he’s sticking to the controversial proposals of his primary campaign, including building a wall along the entire U.S.-Mexico border and suspending immigration from nations “compromised by terrorism.”

But in a nod to a broader swath of Americans, he said young people in predominantly black cities “have as much

McHenry County officials on GOP nomination for president

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com Although Donald Trump was not the first pick for president for some McHenry County officials, after his acceptance of the GOP’s nomination, they now are showing their support.

McHenry County Republican Party Chairwoman Sandra Salgado said although Trump was not who she voted for in the primary, she’s now behind him 100 percent.

“He has energized this country, and I think that we’re going to be moving in a positive direction under his leadership,” Salgado said.

Salgado said the positives of Trump far outweigh any of his positions that she disagrees with.

“He is very pro-military, pro-law enforcement, strong business background, smaller government – those

are ideals that we need to take place here at the top of the line so that us here in little McHenry County can replicate that,” Salgado said.

State Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, said Hillary Clinton is an “unacceptable” choice for president.

“I have many disagreements with Donald Trump; however, I plan to vote for him because he is the Republican nominee for president, and Republican primary voters have chosen him, and I respect their opinion,” McSweeney said.

Algonquin Township Republican Party Chairman Andrew Gasser said he was a Ted Cruz supporter, but now is going to support Trump because the next president will potentially have five Supreme Court nominations.

Man accused of murdering ex takes stand, denies all charges William J. Ross testifies woman found dead in his home had several enemies

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – William J. Ross does not deny he owned and lived in a home at 518 Country Club Drive in McHenry.

He does not deny that ex-girlfriend and tenant Jacqueline Schaefer moved into the residence in 2007, after she responded to an advertisement in the local newspaper.

He does not deny the two had a romantic relationship that lasted “a few years.”

Ross does not deny he sealed multiple exterior doors and windows in the home before he left McHenry for a cross-country road trip in the summer of 2012.

He does not deny that someone killed Schaefer.

But, according to Ross’ testimony Thursday, it was not him.

On the fourth day of Ross’ trial on first-degree murder charges, the 64-year-old, William J. dressed in a black suit, blue Ross shirt and blue tie, took the stand in his defense and told a full courtroom he did not kill Schaefer.

Ross is accused of shooting his ex-girlfriend – who was then dressed in a black Harley-Davidson T-shirt, pink sweatpants and had her long blonde hair in a braid – in the left temporal lobe and spine sometime in 2011, sealing the bedroom with caulk, trim, paint, screws and nails, and then abandoning the McHenry home months later.

Forensic pathologist Larry Blum previously testified that, to a “reasonable degree of scientific medical certainty,” two gunshot wounds were the cause of Schaefer’s death.

Schaefer’s remains were found in her bedroom in Ross’ home in November 2013, nearly two years after she was killed.

Ross was arrested in 2013 in Las Vegas, where he was living at the time, and charged with concealing a homicide. In 2014, he was charged with murder.

All while defense attorney Stephen Richards was questioning him, Ross remained composed.

“Did you kill Jacqueline Schaefer?”

Richards asked.

“No, I did not,” Ross responded confidently.

He said the last time he saw Schaefer was in the fall of 2011. He said he was visiting friends in Wisconsin and when he returned to McHenry, she was gone.

Ross said Schaefer told him several times she wanted to move back to Missouri, and so he thought she may have gone there. He said he did not confirm if she had actually done so.

During an interview with McHenry County detectives in Las Vegas in 2013, he said he never tried to talk Schaefer into staying, but he did not want her to leave McHenry.

“How do you know she didn’t go floatin’ down the river?” Ross said in 2013 during questioning.

On cross-examination, Assistant State’s Attorney Michael Combs asked Ross why Schaefer would leave her Missouri ID, checkbook and personal belongings in her bedroom in McHenry if she had intended to leave the state.

Combs proceeded to rip open the evidence envelope to show the defendant Schaefer’s ID. Ross said Schaefer had other belongings in storage units in McHenry and Missouri.

Combs asked Ross if he had any enemies. Ross said he did and that his longtime friend, Renee Bitton, who testified earlier in the trial, “wasn’t very friendly at some times.”

Ross went on later to say he believed Bitton was a liar, thief and drug addict, and went as far as to point the finger at Bitton, arguing that someone may have killed Schaefer and planted his DNA found on the caulk between the sealed bedroom door.

“They found the body in your home,” Combs said to Ross.

“I understand that,” Ross responded.

Ross also said Schaefer had several enemies, including a man she lived with in Missouri, a motorcycle gang and even her own family members, who he claimed Schaefer said wanted her dead for a life insurance policy.

Ross testified that he left McHenry in 2012 so he could visit people he knew out

William J. Ross

on ex-girlfriend Jacqueline Schaefer during a 2013 interview with McHenry County detectives in Las Vegas west, including friends and his sister, who lives in Colorado.

“It’s something I always wanted to do,” he said.

Bitton previously testified Wednesday that Ross told her he was leaving and asked her to watch over the outside of the home, but to never enter the residence.

Despite his objections, Bitton testified to entering the home at least seven times between January 2013 and November 2013, including a time when pipes burst.

Bitton also said she and her then-boyfriend, Jerome Mikos, unsealed the bedroom door on Nov. 6, 2013, and found the remains that were later identified as Schaefer. Bitton claimed she entered the room because she wanted to retrieve a space heater.

Combs went on to question why Ross asked Bitton to watch over the home if he believed she was a liar and would steal from him. Ross said he knew it would be inexpensive and she had done work for him before.

“You let somebody who (you believe) regularly does cocaine take care of your property,” Combs said to Ross. “Why didn’t you tell her to stay away from the property all together?”

“I took my chances,” Ross responded.

Prosecutors introduced evidence this week that Ross was arrested on two separate instances of domestic battery against Schaefer, who suffered physical injuries including a broken wrist, bloody lip and red abrasions on her neck.

“I did not do that,” Ross said, referring to assaulting Schaefer. Ross continued to deny he physically assaulted Schaefer in any way.

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

Closing statements are expected to begin Friday morning, and then jurors will begin deliberation. Judge Sharon Prather is presiding over the trial.

Sage YMCA sports coordinator and Sage YMCA Corporate Challenge tug-of-war official Seth Hood of Crystal Lake prepares the teams for their next round of tug-of-war during the tug-of-war competition in Crystal Lake.

LOCAL NEWS | Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Other companies participating in this year’s challenge include Werner Company of Crystal Lake, Charter Dura-Bar of Woodstock, Coilcraft of Cary and Sage Products of Cary.

Michael Trester, a manufacturing trainer at Sage Products, said his company has competed in the corporate challenge the past two years.

“We came out to compete in this friendly competition,” Trester said. “And we hope to continue building a community friendship from these competitions.”

The winners of each individual event will take home a plaque, and a trophy will be given to the team with the most accumulated points by the end of the challenge.

The corporate challenge is being run this year by Jill Ernst, fitness and wellness director of Sage YMCA. “This is a really good event that companies can participate in some friendly competition and utilize team building,” Ernst said.

Ernst said the event has grown from six companies in 2014 to 14, and about 650 people are involved this year.

“It’s nice to see this event grow,” Ernst said.

Along with bringing the community together, another purpose of the event is to raise money for YMCA, as Ernst said the corporate challenge is Sage YMCA’s largest annual fundraiser. All proceeds, through registration costs and sponsorships, go toward Sage YMCA’s annual fund, which provides financial assistance to children and families around McHenry County who otherwise couldn’t afford a YMCA membership.

“The YMCA is a not-for-profit, and a lot of people don’t realize that. So this event is a good reminder of that,” Ernst said.

“We came out to compete in this friendly competition, and we hope to continue building a community friendship from these competitions.”

Cooling centers offer refuge from extreme heat NORTHWEST HERALD With temperatures in McHenry County rising into the 90s, several places around the county opened cooling centers to the public Thursday that will remain open Friday and Saturday.

If you need to get out of the heat, you can do so by going to these cooling centers: Huntley Park District Rec Center, 12015 Mill St., Huntley, is letting residents escape the heat from 5:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Friday and from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.

Crystal Lake City Council member on his vote against video gambling licenses

How they voted The Crystal Lake City Council voted Tuesday, 5-2, to grant the city’s first two video gambling licenses to The Cottage and Fire Bar and Grill.

,4 3)&8: 1.58#6'%8. )7 2.0)9#8 $0.'#%! (/,* -;"+

Council members Cathy Ferguson and Ralph Dawson voted no. cials made clear to Hermes and Leech that they were opposed on principle and not against their particular plans or establishments.

“With all due respect, that’s going to be my position going forward,” Dawson said.

Illinois legalized video gambling in 2009 to help generate revenue to pay off the bonds for a $31 billion capital plan, although the machines didn’t start appearing in local establishments until late 2012.

The state gets 30 percent of the proceeds, 5 percent of which is given back to the local government on top of whatever annual fees it charges. The remaining 70 percent of the proceeds are split between the machine owner and the establishment. Many local establishments have said they use the revenue to finance needed or delayed repairs and improvements.

Crystal Lake was one of six local governments that took advantage of an opt-out under the law and banned video gambling, and is the fifth to change its mind. Woodstock reversed its ban in 2012; and Cary, Algonquin and the McHenry County Board reversed their bans the following year.

Lakewood is the sole remaining McHenry County municipality that outright bans video gambling.

CRYSTAL LAKE – The City Council granted its first two video gambling licenses since reversing its ban on the machines earlier this year.

Council members voted, 5-2, Tuesday to grant licenses to Fire Bar and Grill and The Cottage. The two local eateries are among the businesses that fought to have the city’s total ban on video gambling overturned, alleging that it put them at a competitive disadvantage against bars and eateries in neighboring jurisdictions.

The two separate votes came after brief conversations in which respective owners Nino Hermes and Paul Leech explained where they would put the machines and their plans for keeping patrons younger than 21 out of the gaming area. Leech noted that The Cottage has never racked up a single citation for serving alcohol to minors during his ownership.

“My record with minors is impeccable,” Leech said.

The City Council in April, also on a 5-2 vote, approved a compromise ordinance, which is more stringent than others in McHenry County, that would allow certain local businesses to have the machines.

Restrictions under the ordinance include a limit of three machines – state law allows for five – and no signage visible from the outside that advertises video gambling. The machines must be segregated at establishments that allow customers younger than 21 years old, and also cannot be visible from outside.

City ordinance also limits the machines to places where alcohol is consumed on premises, and does not allow for the creation of video gambling parlors.

The city charges establishments two annual fees totaling $1,100, and charges a permit fee of $500 a machine. Applicants for licenses also must sign a hold harmless clause promising that they will not go to court to get the city’s ordinance softened.

Council members Cathy Ferguson and Ralph Dawson, who voted against the ordinance legalizing video gambling, voted against granting both licenses Tuesday. However, both offi-

Volunteers needed for oak rescue at Sterne’s Woods

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Anyone interested in rescuing oaks from invasive plants can volunteer Sunday at Sterne’s Woods & Fen, 617 Hillside Drive.

According to the Crystal Lake Park District, an invasive understory of bushes is trying to crowd out young oak saplings in the area. To get rid of the intruding plants, volunteers will be cutting down buckthorn and honeysuckle bushes beside the trail in an attempt to help oaks thrive again in the area. The event also gives volunteers the opportunity to learn more about restoration ecology and what makes Sterne’s Woods so unique.

Plane crash in Joliet leaves pilot dead House catches fire; no injuries in neighborhood

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Brittany Grajewski was in the Brighton Lakes subdivision’s pool Thursday morning when she heard what she thought was thunder.

But as Grajewski, an attendant at the pool, looked to the sky, she saw a small plane twirling toward Earth as it traveled north over Theodore Street. She saw debris fall off the plane, although she said it wasn’t large enough to be a wing or propeller.

Grajewski believes the pilot was trying to land in one of the neighborhood’s retention ponds.

“You could tell the pilot was in panic mode, trying to find somewhere to land it,” she said.

Authorities said parts of the plane were located as far as a mile away, suggesting it might have been coming apart before it hit the ground at 11:14 a.m., leaving the aircraft destroyed and the pilot dead. The smoldering wreckage of the plane lay in a Brighton Lakes road as area residents tried to extinguish flames using garden hoses before emergency crews arrived. The crash also caused a house at 1812 Hampton Court to catch fire, leaving it charred but the homeowners and their pets alive.

“We are very fortunate to have a plane crash in a crowded residential neighborhood like this and not have any additional injuries,” Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton said. “It’s amazing.”

Ed Malinowski with the National Transportation Safety Board said the plane was a Piper PA-30, The Associated Press reported. It had taken off from Florida and landed in Tennessee before

‘Pretty Woman’ filmmaker Garry Marshall dies

By LYNN ELBER

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Garry Marshall knew how to tug at moviegoers’ heartstrings, whether with unlikely love in “Pretty Woman” or sentimental loss in “Beaches.”

But it was goofy, crowd-pleasing comedy that endeared the writer and director to generations of TV viewers in hit sitcoms including “Happy Days, “Laverne & Shirley” and “Mork & Mindy.” Marshall, who died Tuesday at 81, said in a 1980s interview that humor was his necessary path in life.

“In the neighborhood where we grew up in, the Bronx, you only had a few choices. You were either an athlete or a gangster, or you were funny,” the New York native said.

Marshall also had a memorable onscreen presence, using his hometown accent and gruff delivery in colorful supporting roles that included a practical-minded casino boss untouched

by Albert Brooks’ disastrous luck in “Lost in America” and a crass network executive in “Soapdish.”

He died at a hospital in Burbank, California, of complications from pneumonia following a stroke, his publicist Michelle Bega said in a statement. An outpouring of respect and affection quickly followed.

Ron Howard, who starred as all-American teen Richie Cunningham on “Happy Days” before going on to become one of Hollywood’s top directors, wrote on Twitter that Marshall went by a simple mantra, “Life is more important than show business.”

“He was a world class boss & mentor whose creativity and leadership meant a ton to me,” Howard added.

Richard Gere, who starred opposite Julia Roberts in “Pretty Woman,” said in a statement that “everyone loved Garry. He was a mentor and a cheerleader and one of the funniest men who ever lived. He had a heart of the purest gold and a soul full of mischief.

He was Garry.”

Writer-director Garry Marshall, whose TV hits included “Happy Days,” “Laverne & Shirley” and box-office successes included “Pretty Woman” and “Runaway Bride,” has died at age 81.

starred Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams, and “Mork & Mindy” (197882) with newcomer Robin Williams.

“The New Odd Couple,” a reboot with African-American actors Ron Glass and Demond Wilson in the lead roles, aired from 1982-83 but was less successful.

Marshall defended his body of TV work, which won more viewers than honors, in his 1995 autobiography, “Wake Me When It’s Funny,” written with his daughter, Lori Marshall.

“Critics have knocked me for targeting society’s lowest common denominator,” he wrote. “I believe that television was, and still is, the only medium that can truly reach society’s lowest common denominator and entertain those people who maybe can’t afford a movie or a play. So why not reach them and do it well?” he said.

After cranking out what Marshall once estimated to be 1,000 sitcom episodes, he switched his focus to the big screen with 1984’s “The Flamingo Kid,” a coming-of-age story starring Matt Dillon, which Marshall wrote and directed.

He concentrated on directing with his later films, including 1986’s “Nothing in Common,” with Tom Hanks and Jackie Gleason; “Overboard” (1987) starring Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell; “Beaches” (1988) with Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey; “Pretty Woman” (1990) and “Dear God” (1996) with Greg Kinnear and Laurie Metcalf.

The Gere-Roberts pairing that helped make “Pretty Woman” a smash hit did the same for “Runaway Bride,” which reunited them in 1999. “The Princess Diaries” in 2001 was another winner, although Marshall suffered a flop with “Georgia Rule” (2007), starring Jane Fonda and Lindsay Lohan.

Marshall is survived by his wife, Barbara, and the couple’s three children, Lori, Kathleen and Scott.

Funeral services will be private but a memorial is being planned for his birthday on Nov. 13, his publicist’s statement said.

Fonzie on “Happy Days,” saluted Marshall in a tweet as “larger than life, funnier than most, wise and the definition of friend.”

“A great, great guy and the best casino boss in the history of film,” actor-filmmaker Brooks posted on Twitter.

He rejected retirement, serving as a consultant on CBS’ 2015 reboot of “The Odd Couple,” starring Matthew Perry and Thomas Lennon, and appearing in an episode this year as Oscar’s father, Walter. Among his final credits was “Mother’s Day,” a film released last April starring Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson and Roberts.

Marshall, the brother of actress-director Penny Marshall, earned a degree in journalism from Northwestern University and worked at the New York Daily News. But he found he was better at writing punchlines.

He began his entertainment career in the 1960s selling jokes to comedians, then moved to writing sketches for “The Tonight Show” with Jack Paar in New York. He caught the eye of comic

Joey Bishop, who brought him to Los Angeles to write for “The Joey Bishop Show.”

Sitcoms quickly proved to be Marshall’s forte. He and then-writing partner Jerry Belson turned out scripts for the most popular comedies of the ’60s, including “The Lucy Show,” “The Danny Thomas Show” and “The Dick Van Dyke Show.”

Marshall and Belson detoured into screenwriting in 1967 with “How Sweet It Is,” starring Debbie Reynolds, and followed it up with “The Grasshopper” (1970) with Jacqueline Bisset.

But the two men kept their hand in TV. In 1970, they turned Neil Simon’s Broadway hit, “The Odd Couple,” into a sitcom starring Jack Klugman and Tony Randall and produced by Marshall. It ran for five seasons and proved the beginning of a TV sitcom empire that lives on in unending 21st-century reruns.

In January 1979, Marshall had three of the top five comedies on the air with “Happy Days,” which ran from 1974-84; “Laverne & Shirley” (1976-83), which

Heat linked to crops working up ‘corn sweat’

By JASON KEYSER

The Associated Press CHICAGO – The Midwest’s first dangerous bout of heat and humidity this summer is partly to blame on the moisture piped out of the ground and into the atmosphere by the increasing acreage of corn crops reaching peak maturity, meteorologists and atmospheric researchers said.

That muggy mist, jokingly called “corn sweat,” gets blown around the country, even enveloping more distant urban areas, like Chicago and Minneapolis. The phenomenon – long familiar to weather geeks, less so to the rest of us – spawned playful banter on social media this week. As heat indexes top the 100-degree mark, here is a look at the steamy situation and the role of golden ears of corn:

from open water and ice surfaces, bare soil and vegetation that make up the earth’s surface.”

Basically, when corn crops mature in late July, they act like billions of straws drawing up soil moisture. It beads up on vast leafy canopies and is carried off by warmer air.

Much of the humidity enveloping the region this week is siphoned off the Gulf of Mexico, but a measurable contribution comes from corn and soybean crops, said researchers like Ken Kunkel, a professor of atmospheric sciences at N.C. State University.

“It’s a real thing. Calling it sweat is interesting,” he said with a laugh. “I never heard that particular term before.”

BLOWIN’ IN THE WIND

Once that added moisture from the corn belt is picked up in the air, it spreads fast to places like Chicago.

EVAPO-WHAT? Kunkel took part in a modeling Evapotranspiration, the technical term for “corn sweat.” The American study that found crop moisture most Meteorological Society defines it as “the likely increased humidity levels during combined processes through which a 1995 heat wave blamed for hundreds water is transferred to the atmosphere of deaths there. “Chicago is affected by

Report: No pattern of hiding evidence by Chicago lawyers

CHICAGO – A former federal prosecutor hired by the city of Chicago to review how City Hall attorneys handle excessive-force lawsuits against police found no evidence that they regularly hide or obstruct access to evidence, a report unveiled Thursday said.

Critics have alleged for years that taxpayer-funded city attorneys frequently seek to subvert the evidence-gathering process in civil cases in bids to keep damage payouts down or to deflect bad publicity from the mayor. But the 70-page report released after a six-month review of the city law department’s civil rights division by former U.S. Attorney Dan Webb appears to reject such assertions.

“We did not find evidence establishing a culture, practice, or approach in the Division of intentionally concealing evidence or engaging in intentional misconduct relating to discovery practices or other

obligations,” it said.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel agreed to the review after U.S. District Judge Edmond Chang in January rebuked city attorney Jordan Marsh for intentionally hiding evidence in a lawsuit that stemmed from the fatal shooting of Darius Pinex, who was black. Marsh then resigned.

Term of grand jury hearing ex-Rep. Schock’s case ends

CHICAGO – The term of a federal grand jury that heard evidence for more than a year on possible spending violations by former U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock has expired, although legal experts said that doesn’t mean the Illinois Republican is off the legal hook.

Schock, a onetime rising GOP star from Peoria, came under intense scrutiny in early 2015 for his spending, including the redecoration of his office in the style of TV’s “Downton Abbey.” He resigned under pressure in March 2015, and grand jury subpoenas for his records were issued.

U.S. court districts typically have at least one grand jury impaneled at any one time, with 23 members hearing evidence on multiple cases simultaneously.

Prosecutors at some point ask them to vote on whether to indict a subject. But if

WHY NOW?

Corn acreage has rapidly increased in the United States: More than 94 million acres of corn were planted this year, an increase of 7 percent from 2015, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That’s the third-highest corn acreage since 1944. Soybeans, which also contribute to humidity levels, are at record high acreage, too.

Jokesters have taken to Twitter to grouse about “corn sweat,” with some calling it the “polar vortex” of the summer.

But outside the exchange in Chicago where corn futures and agricultural commodities are traded, analyst Sharon Piet was not breaking a sweat Thursday as she scratched away at a crossword puzzle in the midday heat.

“It could be true, yeah. Who knows, right?” she said, adding with a smile that it doesn’t change the way she feels about those delicious, sweet kernels.

the term of one grand jury expires before a vote, a new one can take up the same case.

A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney’s office in Springfield, Sharon Paul, confirmed Wednesday that the two-year term of the grand jury concluded in June.

Another has already been impaneled, she said. The next scheduled session for the newer panel is Aug. 2, when it could potentially hear evidence in Schock’s case.

Illinois jobless rate falls in June but workforce shrunk

CHICAGO – Illinois’ unemployment rate fell for a second straight month in June, but state officials said the drop was because of, at least in part, people leaving the workforce.

The Illinois Department of Employment Security said Thursday that the jobless rate for June fell to 6.2 percent from 6.4 percent the previous month. May’s decrease was the first drop after seven straight months of increases.

Director Jeff Mays said in a news release that Illinois’ workforce declined by 2,200 in June and the state has lost more than 9,000 manufacturing jobs over the past year.

But the state still has more jobs than

OpenBook site allows users to follow the money

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois comptroller’s office has created a website to increase government transparency by allowing the public to track political contributions and state contracts.

The website is called OpenBook.

Comptroller Leslie Munger’s office said it includes a “Google-like” feature allowing users to enter the name of an organization doing business with the state and search political contributions from it or its employees.

It combines information from the comptroller’s accounting system with information collected by the Illinois State Board of Elections in one place.

Munger said in a news release Wednesday that she believes “government should be an open book.”

She called the site a “true portal of transparency for state government, where every dollar donated to a campaign is recorded and can be traced back to any state contract awarded.”

Why black men fear any encounter with the police

By JESSE J. HOLLAND The Associated Press

Charles Kinsey held his hands in the air and shouted to police that the autistic man sitting on the street next to him wasn’t dangerous. A few seconds later, he felt a bullet rip into his leg.

The therapist, who is black and works with people with disabilities, was rounding up a patient who had wandered away from a facility when he was ordered by police officers to lie on the ground. Kinsey imagined that “as long as I’ve got my hands up, they’re not going to shoot me. This is what I’m thinking. Wow, was I wrong,” he told a television station.

The shooting in Florida earlier this week illustrates the long-standing fear among black men that almost any encounter with police can go awry with potentially deadly results, even when a person follows every law enforcement command.

Police are known to pull their triggers “no matter how you follow their directions,” emphasized Isaial Murray, a black 28-year-old construction worker in Detroit.

Some black men question why police seem to avoid using deadly force on dangerous white suspects, such as Dylan Roof, who is charged with killing nine blacks last year in a church in South Carolina, but are quick to point a gun at blacks.

“I see incidents with a white person with a gun on their hip and ... they don’t pull their gun. They pull their Taser to calm them down,” said Travis Haynes, 35, of Orlando, who is black. “But when it comes to a black man, the first thing they do is draw their gun.”

On Monday in Florida, officers ordered Kinsey and the patient, who was sitting in the street playing with a toy truck, to lie on the ground. Kinsey,

In this frame from video, Charles Kinsey explains Wednesday in an interview from his hospital bed in Miami what happened when he was shot by police on Monday.

47, got down on the pavement and put his hands up while trying to get the patient to comply, North Miami Assistant Police Chief Neal Cuevas told The Miami Herald.

An officer then fired three times, striking Kinsey in the leg, Cuevas said.

Police were responding to reports of a man with a gun threatening to kill himself, and the officers arrived “with that threat in mind,” the chief said. No gun was recovered.

The 27-year-old patient was not harmed. Police have not released the name or race of the officer who fired but said he’s been placed on administrative leave, which is standard procedure.

The latest shooting comes after two black men were killed at the hands of police in Louisiana and Minnesota. Alton Sterling died July 5 during a scuffle with two white Baton Rouge police officers at a convenience store where he was selling CDs, as he had done for years. The officers were responding to a call of a man threatening someone with a gun. They have said they found a gun in Sterling’s pocket. That shooting, captured on cellphone video, provoked widespread protests about police treatment of the black community.

It was soon followed by the death of Philando Castile, who was legally registered to carry a gun and told an officer that he had a weapon during a July 6 traffic stop in a St. Paul suburb. Then the officer fatally shot him.

Moments later, in a live Facebook stream, his girlfriend said the officer had asked for Castile’s license and shot him when he moved to retrieve it.

Rick Blanding, a black 28-year-old window cleaner in Detroit, said he follows orders whenever confronted by police.

“You got to understand you’re dealing with two sides,” he said, citing people on the right and wrong sides of the law. “Whenever police stop me, I follow their instructions. Do I trust them? Some.

I fear for my life with some.”

Police need to acknowledge this feeling among black men and work to find a solution, said Chuck Drago, a white former police chief in Oviedo, Florida.

“Perception is reality. If people believe that, then we as the police have to do something to prove that wrong,” Drago said. “There’s a lot of ways to do that, but we can’t ignore it. We can’t say: ‘It’s not true. You’re mistaken.’ ”

Trump’s NATO comments bring condemnation

Continued from page A3 of a right to live out their dreams as any other child in America.” He also vowed to protect gays and lesbians from violence and oppression, a pledge that was greeted with applause from the crowd.

“As a Republican, it is so nice to hear you cheering for what I just said,” he responded.

Trump was introduced by his daughter Ivanka, who announced a child care policy proposal that the campaign had not mentioned before.

“As president, my father will change the labor laws that were put in place at a time when women weren’t a significant portion of the workplace, and he will focus on making quality child care affordable and accessible for all,” she said.

Trump took the stage in Cleveland facing a daunting array of challenges, many of his own making. Although he vanquished 16 primary rivals, he’s viewed with unprecedented negativity by the broader electorate, and is struggling in particular with younger voters and minorities, groups GOP leaders know they need for the party to grow.

The first three days of this week’s convention bordered on chaos, starting with a plagiarism charge involving his wife Melania Trump’s speech and moving on to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s dramatic refusal to endorse him from

Then, Trump sparked more questions about his Oval Office readiness by suggesting in the midst of the convention that the U.S. might not defend America’s NATO partners with him as president. The remarks, in an interview published online Wednesday by The New York Times, deviate from decades of American doctrine and seem to reject the 67-year-old alliance’s bedrock principle of collective defense.

Trump reinforced his position from the convention stage, saying the United States has been “picking up the cost” of NATO’s defenses for too long.

He also disavowed America’s foreign policy posture under both Democratic and Republican presidents, criticizing “15 years of wars in the Middle East” and declaring that “Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo.”

He had promised to describe “major, major” tax cuts. But his economic proposals Thursday night were vague, centering on unspecified plans to create millions of jobs. He promised a “simplified” tax system for the middle class and businesses, fewer regulations and renegotiation of trade deals that he said have put working class Americans at a disadvantage.

During a visit to Vulcan Materials Co. near Sycamore on Thursday, U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Plano, said he’s warming up to the idea of Trump as the next president.

Although he didn’t give the Republican nominee a solid endorsement, he said there was “no one in public service” that he respects more than Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, Trump’s running mate.

Hultgren, who represents much of McHenry County in Congress, was not enthusiastic about some of Trump’s policy plans, including

building a wall along the border with Mexico and a temporary ban on all Muslims entering the country, which he said was unrealistic.

He did, however, say he “appreciated” the process Trump has put together to pick a Supreme Court nominee.

“Donald Trump wasn’t my first choice or second choice, but I like a lot of the decisions he’s making early on,” Hultgren said.

Brett Rowland of the DeKalb Daily Chronicle contributed to this story.

WASHINGTON – Alarm and condemnation erupted Thursday from European capitals, the White House and leaders of Donald Trump’s own party after the Republican presidential nominee suggested the U.S. might abandon its NATO military commitments if he were elected president.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who backed Trump at the party’s national convention only two days earlier, said he totally disagreed with the statement but was willing to “chalk it up to a rookie mistake.”

McConnell called NATO “the most successful military alliance in the history of the world,” in a Facebook interview with The New York Times.

In Brussels, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said the alliance agreement was crystal clear: “We defend each other.”

“I will not interfere in the U.S. election campaign,” Stoltenberg said. But he pointedly added, “Two world wars have shown that peace in Europe is also important for the security of the United States.”

Secretary of State John Kerry reaffirmed the United States’ commitment to NATO. “This administration, like every single administration, Republican and Democrat alike since 1949, remains fully committed to the NATO alliance and to our security commitments under Article 5, which is absolutely bedrock to our membership and to our partnership with NATO.” Indeed, Trump’s suggestion, in an interview with the Times, would upend decades of American foreign policy and rock the security structures that have underpinned European and global stability since the end of World War II.

The Texan argued that the “politically easy option” would be to back the nominee no matter who it might be, but insisted: “This is not a game, it is not politics. Right and wrong matters.”

Yet for Cruz politics is at the heart of the matter as he eyes another run for president in 2020. The last man standing after Trump defeated the rest of this year’s large and experienced GOP primary field, Cruz’s future political viability may now rise or fall on whether his decision to deny Trump at the billionaire’s own coronation looks good or bad four years from now.

In the immediate aftermath, critics were easier to find than supporters. Cruz is deeply unpopular with many fellow Republicans on Capitol Hill, after leading a politically disastrous government shutdown in 2013 and clashing with party leadership in the Senate, and defenders were few among elected officials.

CLEVELAND – A defiant Sen. Ted Cruz declared Thursday he’s no “servile puppy dog” as he faced a torrent of GOP criticism over his refusal to endorse Donald Trump on the Republican National Convention stage.

Irate convention delegates predicted Cruz had committed political suicide by accepting a prime-time speaking slot Wednesday only to urge Republicans to “vote your conscience,” not vote for the nominee. Although the Texas senator had not been expected to offer an effusive endorsement of his primary foe, many GOP delegates had hoped and expected to hear some expression of support as they struggle to unite their party to defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton this fall.

Instead they got the opposite Wednesday night as Cruz’s defiance ripped apart their showcase of GOP unity moments before vice presi-

the party by saying just a few words in support of Trump and “You need to do it now!” A third told Cruz to “Stop spinning it!”

Cruz refused and sought to portray his stance as a matter of principle. But he also made clear it was intensely personal after a brutal primary campaign where Trump dismissed him as “Lyin’ Ted,” mocked Cruz’s wife’s looks and linked Cruz’s father to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

“I’m not going to get into criticizing or attacking Donald Trump, but I’ll give you this response: I am not in the habit of supporting people who attack my wife and attack my father,” Cruz said, adding that those attacks had undone his pledge to back the eventual GOP nominee.

“That pledge was not a blanket commitment that, if you go and slander and attack Heidi, that I’m going to nonetheless come like a servile puppy dog and say, ‘thank you very much for maligning my wife and my

ANOTHER VIEW

Obamacare loses another limb in Illinois The Affordable Care Act is again proving itself to be the Unaffordable Care Act now that Illinois has moved to close its health insurance coop, Land of Lincoln Health, after it lost $90 million last year.

There were 24 state health insurance coops set up with $2.4 billion of your federal taxes to provide consumers with a “cheaper” alternative to the big insurance companies. Illinois just became the 16th to fail, and most of the remaining eight are struggling. Land of Lincoln Health’s demise will leave 49,000 Illinois customers searching for a new health insurance provider, and you can bet it won’t be cheaper for anyone.

While you likely feel bad for those consumers and the $1,837 that taxpayers lost just last year on each of them, the real crisis is to come. Bernie and Hillary and Barack — and it’s worth noting all three spent their formative political years as Chicago Democrats — are again leading the march to the “public option.”

The public option is where Medicare expands to do what the coops are failing to do. Government provides a plan for those too sick or poor to buy insurance, but like a black hole the gravity of the “free” government plan sucks in all the customers until private companies can’t compete and the government winds up running all the health insurance. In black holes that total collapse is the “singularity” but in health insurance it is the “single payer.”

Government doesn’t worry about free market concerns such as premiums generating less than the health care costs because government just taxes and prints more money to remain solvent as it destroys the health insurance industry and exerts more price controls over the drug and other health care industries.

Coops are failing because you can’t get more out of a system than you put in. The costs will remain the costs, but if the liberals drive us to the single payer those costs will be hidden within higher taxes or fewer dividends or fewer jobs — all of which builds to a crescendo as the Baby Boomers continue to age and continue to need more and more expensive health care.

We started Obamacare in 2010 with about 15 percent of the population lacking health insurance. Despite this massive government intrusion, there’s still about 11.7 percent of the nation without coverage.

The president wants more of your blood to keep it from flatlining.

– Belleville News-Democrat

ANOTHER VIEW

Business tired of the Chicago Way In a city as divided as Chicago, it’s rare to find unanimity on any issue. That’s what makes the results of a first-ever poll of Chicago’s business leaders on the subject of crony capitalism so striking.

In a survey conducted by Crain’s Custom Media in conjunction with the Committee for Economic Development of the Conference Board, 428 local business leaders spoke out in remarkable unison about the corrosive effect that paid lobbyists and fat-cat political contributions have had on the city’s civic and business life.

Yes, they agree, the Chicago Way still works for those who can afford the cost of admission to the pay-to-play political game. But, most also say, it’s bad for business.

Among the findings: 91 percent believe companies using paid lobbyists or making big political donations have a business advantage, while 88

percent believe the ethical behavior of elected or appointed officials is a “very serious” or “somewhat serious” issue.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel has pledged to combat Chicago’s long-standing corruption problem, and when it comes to patronage, he’s done more than talk.

He’s managed to get the city out from under the Shakman Decree, the court-mandated federal oversight of City Hall employment practices designed to bar the hiring and firing of government workers on the basis of political loyalty.

That said, there’s still the problem of pay-to-play: the perception, justified or not, that in order to get anything done within city limits – from winning a government contract to getting permission to hang a sign outside one’s shop – it’s necessary to funnel money to the right political campaign funds, starting with your alder-

man.

In a city that’s taken sort of perverse pride in its reputation as the corruption capital of the U.S., businesspeople once seemed willing to account for palm-greasing as a cost of doing business in Chicago.

But Crain’s survey is a strong signal that they now seriously question the bargain.

The government we’re paying for isn’t delivering, even for those who are writing the checks. In fact, our government has become an enormous competitive liability, as the city and the state founder under the weight of unfunded pensions, dysfunctional schools, rampant crime and crumbling infrastructure.

Businesspeople need to do more than shake their heads as they answer surveys, however.

They have the power to end pay-to-play. All they have to do is stop paying.

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.

Tie politician pay to job performance

To the Editor: Illinois has the second highest property taxes of any state. Illinois’s cumulative tax burden is one of the highest in the nation. With all the taxes we pay, shouldn’t we have fully funded pensions? Shouldn’t we have the best schools in the nation? Shouldn’t we have the most glorious roads with no tolls? Shouldn’t our population be going up, not down?

Not quite.

Even with some of the highest taxes in the nation, we are always ranked near the bottom in all the above qualities. Currently, our state lawmakers are the fifth highest paid in the nation.

This is for a part-time job, with only about 100 working days a year. Don’t forget the gold-plated pensions and Cadillac health-care package.

If elected state representative, I will file bills to end lawmaker pensions and tie lawmaker pay to job performance on the first day. If Illinois’ population keeps going down, politicians get a pay cut. If unfunded liabilities go up, cut their pay. If they don’t pass a balanced budget, then no paycheck. This is how it works in the private sector.

Plagiarized speech a clear statement

To the Editor: Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.

Melania Trump’s plagiarized speech on the night of the Republican National Convention is a clear statement of how brilliant President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama truly are!

And it’s a testament to how Donald Trump could only hope to have a wife as brilliant. A disrespectful male bully is simply not attractive to brilliant, well-education women.

To the Editor: In April 2010, the Chicago Tribune published a Jack Franks essay in which Franks wrote, “We need forensic audits of all spending. Justify every dime and know where every dime is going … I have co-sponsored legislation that

and make yourself visible to other drivers. Pedestrians should always use marked crossings and remain aware of their surroundings at all times.

We at IDOT have an expectation to one day reach zero traffic fatalities.

It’s an ambitious goal. But it’s an attitude we all need to take, that even one death is one too many.

When someone dies in a car crash, we all are impacted. The Centers for Disease Control estimates Illinois loses $1.41 billion annually in medical costs and lost productivity because of traffic deaths. But the impacts go much deeper.

Every death means the loss of someone’s co-worker, friend, neighbor or a family member. The true impact is immeasurable.

At IDOT, we are working on a few things and redoubling our efforts in some key areas.

In the coming weeks, we will refresh the messages on our digital message boards over the highways to make people more aware that their

behavior does have consequences. We are working closely with law enforcement to share our crash analyses to help police target those areas that are experiencing crashes. We continue to research new ways to integrate crash data and safety solutions in our decision-making processes to help prioritize our projects and programs.

Last year, 998 people died on Illinois’ roads, according to our provisional data. That marked the seventh consecutive year of fewer than 1,000 traffic fatalities in Illinois, an achievement not seen since the Model T was the vehicle of choice for most drivers.

But we can do better. We must do better.

I ask you for your support in making this one of the safest summers ever on Illinois roads.

Thank you for making safety a priority.

As the head of the Illinois Department of Transportation, every morning I receive a report detailing the number of traffic fatalities throughout our state.

Lately, I’ve been troubled by some of the trends I’m seeing.

You should be as well.

Like the rest of the country, Illinois is experiencing an increase in motor vehicle fatalities in 2016. As of July 15, according to preliminary data, there had been 534 deaths on our roads. At the same time a year ago, we had 492. That’s almost a nine percent increase.

This uptick is especially concerning to me and the rest of us at IDOT because we are at the height of the busy summer travel season, when the number of fatalities almost always tends to go up.

The increase in fatal crashes is happening across the board in both urban and rural locations, touching all kinds of travel on our roads.

BUSINESS Autopilot tech drives Teslas but comes with warnings

By JUSTIN PRITCHARD and JOAN LOWY The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES – A Tesla in Autopilot mode can drive itself but it’s not a “self-driving” vehicle, at least as far as safety regulators are concerned.

So, instead of coming under heavy government scrutiny before being sold to the public, Tesla can mass-produce cars that automatically adjust speed with the flow of traffic, keep their lane and slam the brakes in an emergency.

Tesla tells its customers to stay alert while driving, only use the technology on divided highways, keep their hands on the wheel and be prepared to take over should the technology fail. Some clearly don’t – online videos, including some with the “driver” in the back seat, show people taking the very risks Tesla warns against.

Still, the disclaimers – and a few regulatory wrinkles – are enough for the government.

Tesla made sure of that before going to market with the technology in October, approaching the Department of Motor Vehicles in its home state of California to check whether officials would throw up any roadblocks.

The department was neck deep writing rules for “autonomous vehicles” that one day will be able to drive themselves without human control. But California’s DMV had no authority over Tesla’s Autopilot, which was not “autonomous” because of the need for human backup.

If officials at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration had any safety concerns about Autopilot, they

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors Inc., introduces the Model X car Sept. 29, 2015, at the company’s headquarters in Fremont, Calif. too had no basis for tapping the brakes on the technology before its debut.

It’s not a loophole – it’s the way automobile regulation works in the U.S. Automakers can add what they call an advanced driver-assistance system, such as Autopilot’s lane-keeping, as long as the technology meets broad federal safety requirements. It’s only if there are problems once the technology is on the road that regulators swoop in.

That is happening now as NHTSA investigates whether Autopilot has a defect that failed to prevent a fatal crash in Florida in May. The driver, an Autopilot enthusiast, was killed when his Model S did not detect a truck that had turned left across oncoming traffic on a divided highway.

NHTSA’s reactive approach is the opposite of how the Federal Aviation Administration treats autopilot that

commercial airplane pilots rely on for most flights.

“We wouldn’t dream of putting a new automated technology on a plane without testing it first to the FAA’s satisfaction,” said Missy Cummings, who as director of Duke University’s Humans and Autonomy Lab has studied the limitations of machine-aided operation in planes and cars.

In a nod to those concerns, U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said Tuesday that government regulators and the auto industry need to engage in a more rigorous review of self-driving technology before it enters the marketplace to assure consumers it is “stress-tested.”

After testing Autopilot for about a year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled the system last fall with characteristic flair. He played up the technology but

also cautioned drivers “to keep their hands on the wheel just in case” because “the software is very new.”

Tesla is not the only high-end automaker that has introduced advanced driver-assistance systems. Mercedes sedans, for example, can keep their lanes.

Audi plans to introduce what it said will be the most advanced self-driving system on the market in its A7 sedan in 2018, although the technology will be limited to low-speed, commuter-style traffic at first.

Tesla is, in the parlance of Silicon Valley, a disruptor of established automakers. Traditionally, a company tricks out test cars with a new technology and recruits hundreds of research assistants and other people familiar with the system’s limitations to test drive them to understand unanticipated ways they crash, said Jim Sayer, a research scientist at the University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute.

By enlisting its fiercely loyal owners as test drivers, Tesla said it has almost 90,000 cars or SUVs gathering Autopilot data, giving the company a tremendous competitive advantage because driving data lets Tesla improve the technology with software updates beamed directly to cars.

Tesla’s fleet has driven a combined 140 million miles on Autopilot since October. By contrast, the company that has done by far the most extensive testing of truly self-driving car prototypes – Alphabet’s Google – reports driving 1.7 million autonomous miles in several dozen prototypes since 2009. Trained safety drivers are behind the wheel, paid to stay alert.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT FRIDAY, JULY 22, 2016

NEW YORK – It was a musical joyride for Michelle Obama as she joined James Corden for a “Carpool Karaoke” session that aired Wednesday on the late-night host’s CBS show.

The first lady and Corden didn’t go far – security demanded that they stick to the driveway on the White House property.

But that didn’t mean they couldn’t belt out Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours” and Beyonce’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).”

Then it was time for “This Is For My Girls,” a “girl power anthem” intended to promote full access to education worldwide.

To join them for it, up popped Missy Elliott in Corden’s backseat.

Roger Ailes (left) speaks at a news conference in 1996 as Rupert Murdoch looks on after it was announced that Ailes would be chairman and CEO of Fox News.

21st Century Fox said Thursday that Ailes is resigning immediately.

Ailes is out as Fox News head; Murdoch named acting chief NEW YORK – Roger Ailes is out as chief executive at Fox News Channel, his career at the network he built from scratch and ran with an iron hand for nearly 20 years over with stunning swiftness following allegations that he forced out a former anchor after she spurned his sexual advances.

Network parent 21st Century Fox said that Rupert Murdoch, the company’s executive chairman, would run Fox News and its sister Fox Business Network, which also had led, until a successor could be found.

Murdoch and 21st Century Fox did not address the widening scandal in the statement on the resignation but lauded Ailes for his contributions. Ailes did not comment in the statement, and no details were given on a settlement agreement.

Ailes’ downfall began with the July 6 filing of a lawsuit by Gretchen Carlson, who charged that he sabotaged her career because she refused his suggestions for sex and had complained about a pervasive atmosphere of sexual harassment at Fox. Ailes has denied the charges, but 21st Century Fox hired a law firm to investigate.

In a statement, Carlson’s attorneys credited Carlson’s “extraordinary courage” with causing “a seismic shift in the media world.”

Several Fox employees jumped to Ailes’ defense, but notably not Megyn Kelly, one of Fox’s top personalities. In rapid succession, it was reported that Kelly was among other women who had told investigators about harassment – again denied by Ailes – and that corporate heads Murdoch and his sons, James and Lachlan, determined that Ailes had to go. The company has no plans to make results of its investigation public.

NEW YORK – The movie studio Legendary Entertainment plans to launch the first live-action Pokémon movie franchise.

The first Pokémon movie, called “Detective Pikachu,” opens production in 2017.

The game Pokémon Go became a global phenomenon when it launched this month.

Players search for digital creatures that pop up on smartphone screens as they move through real-world locations. The character Detective Pikachu was introduced in a video game in Japan.

Universal Pictures will handle distribution of the film outside Japan as it does with Legendary’s other films.

Country singer Craig Morgan said the death of his son is “the hardest thing we have ever had to endure as a family.”

Jerry Greer, 19, was found dead Monday in a northwestern Tennessee lake after a boating accident. Authorities said Greer and a friend had been tubing when the accident occurred. Greer’s friend resurfaced, but Greer did not. Both were wearing life jackets.

In a Facebook post Wednesday, Morgan said, “Jerry may be gone from this earth, and we will miss him every day, but his spirit will live on in our hearts.”

Morgan’s hits include “That’s What I Love About Sunday” and “Redneck Yacht Club.”

He’s the host of “Craig Morgan: All Access Outdoors,” which is in its seventh season on the Outdoor Channel.

LOS ANGELES – Filmmaker Michael Moore is causing a stir with his comments about Donald Trump. The famously liberal Moore said he’s sorry to say it, but he thinks the Republican could win the presidency.

In a Wednesday night appearance on an online edition of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” Moore said he thought the verbal attacks on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton at this week’s Republican National Convention play to “a lot of people” Trump has to win over to become president.

“I think Trump is going to win. I’m sorry,” he said. “People are in denial of this, but the chance of winning is really, really good.”

SAN DIEGO – Director Oliver Stone said Thursday at Comic-Con that every major movie studio turned down his narrative film about Edward Snowden because of censorship from their corporate leaders.

Stone, who has chronicled many American conspiracies in his films, said he does not believe an entity such as the National Security Agency is putting pressure on the studios, but the corporate boards who control them.

He got financing from France and Germany for the movie, which comes out Sept. 16 and stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Snowden.

Stone said Snowden is “a mystery” despite interviews and an Oscar-winning documentary exploring the former NSA contractor who leaked classified documents about the government’s surveillance programs.

PARENTING

Keeping kids sharp

Cooking prevents summer slide by utilizing school concepts

By AVIVA GOLDFARB The Washington Post

No matter your situation when school lets out, whether you are happy to get a break from supervising homework and packing lunches, or you’re stressed because you’re scrambling to fill hours usually reserved for school, you probably wonder how to keep your kids’ brains and bodies occupied productively for 10 weeks during summer “vacation.”

You may wonder: • How will I prevent my children’s brains from atrophying when they aren’t in class for six hours a day?

• How will we keep them off of YouTube, tablets and the TV when those digital babysitters are not only easy temptations, but also can feel like the only way we can get a little break?

• And how can I make sure they don’t forget their hard-learned math, reasoning and reading skills when school is on hiatus for so long? (Those summer “math packets” don’t really cut it when our kids forget about them until the week before school.)

I have found cooking with our kids is one way we can keep their minds engaged over the summer.

Following recipes builds on educational skills, fills time in a fun and productive way and offers a creative boost to kids they can’t get from staring at a screen.

“While summer is a wonderful time to relax, it can also mark that inevitable backslide of learning for kids,” said Montgomery County, Maryland, teacher Ann McCallum, who also is author of the award-winning “Eat Your Homework” series.

“Cooking is an excellent way to not only stop the brain drain, but to accelerate kids’ learning.

Spending time in the kitchen is an authentic way for kids to make connections to math, science and even history,” McCallum said.

Of course, the skills you build into each cooking project will vary depending on your child’s age and ability, but here are a few ideas that have worked well for me and parents I know.

• Counting/Addition: Have your preschooler count cherry tomatoes as he adds them to a recipe. Your child can practice addition by adding the olives and tomatoes together or practice division by sorting the two foods into groups or dividing 20 olives into four equal groups of five.

• Multiplication: Have your child double or triple a recipe such as zucchini noodles. Make sure she writes down the newly multiplied measurements before she begins to cook so she doesn’t get lost or confused along the way.

• Fractions: Have your son or daughter measure how many teaspoons in a tablespoon (hint: three), how many 1/4 cups in a cup (four) and how many ounces in a pound (16). If you have a kitchen scale, weighing berries or crackers is a fun way to do this.

• Reading: Have your child read through a whole recipe, such as these homemade tortilla chips, before beginning. Then he can be in charge of following the recipe sequentially as he prepares it.

• Writing: Your child can create her own recipe for trail mix, salad dressing or granola. She can write a description of it at the beginning, write down the ingredients and measurements and even type the recipe up at the end to send to family and friends.

• Reasoning: If he wants homemade popcorn to taste sweeter, spicier, more fragrant or saltier, which ingredients or spices should he add, and how can he make sure the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the freshly popped popcorn? (Hint: blend the spices in a small bowl before adding them.)

• Creativity: Design your own “Chopped” or “Top Chef” cooking competition using a basket of ingredients and/or a mystery ingredient and have each child make his or her own recipe for the “judges” to taste. For younger kids, give them a platter of healthy ingredients like grapes, cheese, cereal, olives, hard-boiled eggs and cucumber slices and let them make funny faces and build towers. Older kids can build structures with colorful toothpicks

and make repeating patterns on skewers.

• Science: There are loads of edible science experiments to discover in library books and online, but a few ideas are to emulsify salad dressings, turn cream into butter, whip egg whites into meringue, create new colors by combining food coloring in water and prevent apples from browning by using citric acid from lemons. Or your child might be thrilled to start his own small herb garden that he can incorporate into family dinners.

Getting your kids cooking this summer will not only help them find practical uses for skills they’ve learned in school, but it’s also likely to help your kids get excited about cooking and build their kitchen skills. Before you know it, your child might be so inspired she’ll be the one making cooking videos, creating a baking business or cooking elaborate dishes for family dinners. My hope is you’ll both be having so much fun, the days and hours until back-to-school routines return will pass too quickly rather than dragging along.

• Do the dishes: It’s not glamorous, but remind kids about the importance of cleaning up after eating, including wiping down counters and closing packages tightly so food bits don’t attract critters.

Summertime, when the pace of life may be just a little slower, is the ideal time to get your teen cooking – especially if they leave in a couple of months for their next phase of life.

Making one of their favorite things to eat – whether it’s burgers, salad, corn on the cob, pasta or omelets – is a great place to get them started on picking up basic cooking skills.

Let your teen decide how involved or uninvolved in the cooking process they want you to be. Chances are, once they see how easy it is to cook and how satisfying it is to eat something they have prepared, their confidence and interest will grow. You’ll both feel better knowing they can start to build the base for a lifetime of skills and meals to feed themselves, their friends and families (even if they still seek your advice by text from time to time).

ing the oven, buttering or oiling the pan to make cleanup easier, setting a timer so food doesn’t burn, using mitts to take hot pans out of the oven, knowing the difference between baking and broiling (we broil to brown the top of food quickly) and using high heat to roast vegetables or meat quickly and effectively.

• Use a slow cooker: With the right ratio of food to liquid, you can slowcook almost anything, from a whole chicken, to soups and stews, to beans or “baked” potatoes. Slow cookers work at low heat for hours without anyone needing to be home to tend to it. Many college students tell me they use this appliance more than any other because they can put the chicken and seasonings in it in the morning or early afternoon, then come home to a hot and perfectly cooked meal after class.

• Plan meals: If we teach our kids how to plan in advance for a meal or two, figure out what to serve to make a complete and nutritious dinner, make a grocery list and shop and know when to start cooking each dish so they all will be ready at the same time, they’ll have the essential skills to cook anywhere, anytime. (My husband’s specialty is cold scrambled eggs with hot toast.)

When our oldest child left for college last fall, I knew I would miss him terribly. But would he miss or even think about home? I was happy to call Solomon weekly, but I wasn’t sure what might prompt him to initiate a call or text.

The answer? A cooking question: “How do I make that chicken? How much lime do I use in that dressing?

What salad should I bring to a party?”

Even without a kitchen in his freshman dorm, Solomon found plenty of opportunities to cook at friends’ houses and on team trips.

College students tell me they cook, or at least aspire to, for a number of reasons. Some of the biggest are wanting healthier or tastier food than what is available on campus, saving money, being creative, managing food allergies or just craving something homemade when they’re hungry.

So what basic cooking skills do kids need? Here are basic techniques kids may want to master this summer. In my experience teaching kids in the kitchen, I’ve learned not to assume everyone knows what may seem obvious to more seasoned cooks:

• Wield a knife: The biggest and most undervalued key to having good knife skills is keeping knives sharp.

Even an inexpensive, easy-to-use sharpener can turn your dull blades into well-honed slicing-and-dicing machines. Teach your child to sharpen knives frequently, and have them learn to safely and effectively hold and use a chef’s knife. YouTube videos and practice can be very effective teachers.

• Boil water: If you can boil water, you can make pasta, rice, hard-boiled eggs, mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables. If using a gas stove, turn the heat as high as it will go without the flame extending past the edge of the pot. Cover to bring the liquid to a quicker boil.

• Sauté: If your kid can melt some oil or butter in a skillet, they can scramble or fry an egg and sauté vegetables, tofu or meat. Make sure the oil or butter is hot before adding the food, and stir occasionally with a spatula or spoon to keep food cooking evenly. If using a nonstick pan, preheat it with the oil or butter already in the pan, and use nonmetal utensils to avoid scratching the surface.

• Bake and roast: I’m guessing your child has baked cookies at least once.

But if not, teach them about preheat-

Peanut allergy advice changes Dear Dr. K: In a recent column, you said parents should give babies peanut products to help prevent peanut allergies. Does the new advice also apply to other common food allergens, such as eggs or cow’s milk?

Dear Reader: To answer your question I turned to my colleague Dr. Claire McCarthy, a primary care pediatrician at Boston Children’s Hospital.

For decades, the standard advice recommended by allergy specialists was to hold off on giving babies foods that commonly cause allergic reactions. Parents were advised not to give egg, dairy, seafood or wheat in their child’s first year. And parents were told to wait until two or three years to give peanuts or other nut products.

It turns out that was bad advice.

What’s changed? A few years ago, research began to suggest there was no particular benefit in waiting to give those foods. Children seemed to develop food allergies whether their parents waited or not.

And then a year ago, research showed giving babies peanut products earlier in life made it less likely they would develop a peanut allergy.

A new study in The New England Journal of Medicine confirms last year’s study. The study involved more than 1,000 exclusively breast-fed 3-month-old babies who were divided up into two groups. The parents of one group were told to give their babies only breast milk for six months. The parents of the other group were told to give their babies six foods that often cause allergic reactions: peanut products, eggs, wheat, cow’s milk, sesame and whitefish.

The result: Fewer children in the second group ended up with peanut or egg allergy when tested between ages 1 and 3 years.

The researchers didn’t find decreases in

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff allergies to the other foods. But – this is important – they didn’t find increases, either.

Now, there’s more we need to study and understand. For example, how much do babies need to eat to prevent allergy?

For which foods does this work? But given that food allergies affect about one in 13 children, it is exciting news.

There are a couple of important safety caveats: • If your baby has a known or suspected food allergy, or there is a history of food allergies in the family, talk to your doctor before starting any solid foods.

• Don’t ever give babies or toddlers actual peanuts; they are a choking hazard.

Instead, use peanut butter (smooth), oils and pastes.

Why did doctors once advise against giving babies peanuts (or peanut products) for two or three years, and why did the advice change? Doctors thought an infant’s developing immune system might react badly to foods, such as peanuts, to which allergies develop.

But then a U.S. peanut allergy specialist visiting Israel discovered few Israeli children develop peanut allergies – and most Israeli children are fed peanut products in the first years of life. At that point, precious research funds were freed up, a study done and the truth revealed.

Coming of Age Day

• Friday, July 22, 2016

beloved father passed away three years ago.

One of my older sisters moved in with Mom to help take care of her and be her companion. My sister has a boyfriend my father absolutely disliked, and the rest of our family doesn’t like him either.

My issue (and I’m not the only family member who feels this way) is when her boyfriend is at the house, he sits in Dad’s chair. It’s hard enough not seeing Dad there anymore, but seeing the boyfriend sitting there is offensive.

Am I wrong for feeling this way? How could I or my family approach the subject with my sister or her boyfriend? – Daddy’s Gone Now Dear Daddy’s Gone Now: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your obviously much-loved father. But the boyfriend might be using Dad’s chair because no one else is using it, and it is comfortable and available.

As I see it, you and your other siblings have two choices: Either speak to the boyfriend and tell him – nicely – seeing him occupy your father’s special chair is painful for all of you, or replace the chair with one that has less sentimental value.

Dear Abby: Some time ago, I was descending an escalator when a suitcase belonging to the woman ahead of me got stuck. She had put the bag in front of her, and the wheels had caught on one of the steps. When she reached the bottom of the escalator, she fell over her suitcase, and then I fell over her. I scrambled on my hands and knees as fast as I could to get out of the way of the dozens of people behind us, visualizing a pileup and injuries.

Fortunately, an attendant quickly grabbed the suitcase, and no one was hurt. As he did, he said, “Never put a suitcase ahead of you on an escalator. Always carry it behind you so you can control it.” I hope this letter will save others from what could be a dangerous situation. –

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – How you approach others regarding legal, financial or medical issues will make a difference. Compassion and the willingness to take on responsibility will put you in a key position to earn trust and the rewards you deserve. Greater stability will come from doing what’s right.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Don’t feel pressured to make changes if you are comfortable with the status quo. Strive to secure your position instead of gambling with your future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Put a little more effort into how you present who you are and the way you look. Updating your appearance and

sporting a positive attitude will leave you feeling ready to conquer the world.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Uncertainty will lead to confusion, especially when dealing with domestic or partnership matters. Try to keep things clear and your feelings out in the open to avoid a misunderstanding.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You have good ideas, but if you don’t follow through with them, what’s the point? Strive to stabilize your position, life and future. Instigate what you want to see happen.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Take a moment to think seriously about what’s happening around you. Troubles will escalate if you don’t gather all the data needed to deal with a situation you face.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You can have fun without spending too much money.

Don’t let anyone sucker you into something that is risky or that could jeopardize your reputation or your relationships with friends and family.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Gather information and plan your strategy, but don’t execute your plans if you haven’t received verification or the go-ahead from those who will be influenced by your actions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Take the initiative to turn one of your ideas or plans into a going concern. Your drive, passion and desire to get things up and running will bolster your reputation.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – If someone puts

a roadblock in your way, find an alternative route and pursue your plans. Opportunity is present, as long as you work with the tide.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Plan to party, play or do something fun with a loved one.

Romance is highlighted, and it will add stability to your personal life.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Problems will arise if you make changes that alter your appearance. Don’t let your emotions lead to an argument. Disputes will end in regret and isolation. Protect against loss.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Don’t let yourself be put in a risky position. Avoid following someone eager to lead you down a dubious path. Focus on happiness and your health and well-being.

Friedrich Nietzsche said, “It is my ambition to say in 10 sentences what others say in a whole book.” That is quite some goal.

Bridge players always have the ambition to reach at least game. But when the normal high-card values are not present, it can be tough to work out when game is good. Look at the North hand in today’s diagram.

You pass, partner opens one spade, you respond one no-trump (6-9 points), and he rebids two hearts.

What would you do now, if anything?

In yesterday’s deal, North was also 2-3 in the majors, but with the spade king and heart ace-queen, all magic cards. Here, North’s hand is much worse. There is a good case for passing out two hearts; it might even be a 5-3 fit. Bidding two spades is probably all right if that is passed out. A 5-2 fit usually plays better than a 4-3.

When this deal was played in a social game, North did rebid two spades. South then tried for game with three hearts, and North understandably passed. (Yes, East might have intervened with two diamonds over one no-trump.)

Against three hearts, West led her singleton diamond. Here, South would have done best to take the trick, cash the heart ace to drop the king, and continue with the spade ace and another spade. That would have led to an overtrick. Understandably, though, he immediately played two rounds of spades.

East won with his queen and gave his partner a diamond ruff. West continued with the spade king, and East overruffed the dummy. Then another diamond ruff was the defense’s fourth and last trick.

Herrig to fight Saturday for first time since ’15 loss

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com

A

fter years of climbing the ranks, winning professional kickboxing titles and fighting with various MMA promoters, the pace of Felice Herrig’s breakthrough onto the big stage of the UFC ended up being unsustainable.

Since her first two UFC fights, Herrig hasn’t fought in more than a year – something she had done only once previously in her seven-year MMA career and something that will change this weekend.

On Saturday, Herrig, who trains out of the Team Curran MMA gym in Crystal Lake, will return to the octagon for the first time since April 2015.

Herrig is set to face Kailin Curran of Hawaii in a strawweight bout on the main card of Saturday’s “UFC Fight Night Chicago” at the United Center.

The event, which features Holly Holm fighting Valentina Shevchenko, will be broadcast on Fox at 7 p.m.

“Right now, she’s in a great place,” her trainer Jeff Curran (unrelated to Kailin) said. “She’s just trying to keep her focus on fighting since she’s been off for a little over a year, and that last fight took it out of her. She went and made some changes to her lifestyle a little bit to bring herself healthy again. Not that she wasn’t healthy before, but all that weight cutting and all the fights and training takes its toll on you. So she just wanted to take some time to reboot mentally and physically, and this training camp has been great. She’s feeling good and in good spirits.”

An accomplished kickboxer turned MMA fighter in 2009, Herrig joined the UFC in 2014 for Season 20 of its reality show, “The Ultimate Fighter.” After reaching the show’s quarterfinals, Herrig won her first official UFC match and four months later accepted her next.

That second fight ended up being her last for a while after Herrig lost to Paige VanZant (now the 10th-ranked fighter in the class) by unanimous decision. She left feeling burnt out.

After the pressure and build-up of her last fight – some “10- to 12-hour media days in New York City” – Herrig’s trainer said she didn’t want to do any media leading up to the Chicago fight.

In a behind-the-scenes training camp video posted on the UFC’s website, Herrig said, “I feel like my last fight I was really burnt out because I wanted to give so much. I was so burnt out that I had nothing left to give when it came fight time. It’s actually really hard for me to talk about because I’ve never felt like that before in a fight. So that’s why I took so much time off from fighting.

“I just got to the point where I’m like, ‘This is me and this is what you’re getting, so take it or leave it.’ None of that matters and here I am, just ready

to fight.”

While she took the year off from competing, Herrig was training for a return all along.

“She never stopped training, just taking the pressure off of not having a fight was the main thing,” Jeff Curran said.

“Training smart, training less intense, just kind of letting her body rebuild itself and things like that was big in part to bringing her back to where she needs to be.”

UFC Fight Night Chicago

Continued from page 3 A few months ago, Jeff Curran said, they began looking for fights again.

“We always knew she was going to fight again it was just kind of a matter of when,” Jeff Curran said. “When she got back into the mindset of ‘She’s got a fight on the books; she’s got to pick it up,’ at that point it was kind of like been off long enough now she’s excited about picking it up and digging in and it was business as usual.”

It helps that Herrig’s return comes close to home for the Buffalo Grove native.

“I’m just excited to fight in my hometown,” Herrig said in the UFC video. “It’s where I started; it’s where I came from. It’s nice to be able to come back and share that with the people around me.”

There also will be “a good crowd from the gym coming,” Jeff Curran said. “Just overall being in Chicago she’ll have a lot of support.”

Duke and Team USA basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski calls North Carolina’s House Bill 2 “an embarrassing bill.”

“We were, frankly, hoping that they would make some steps towards modifying the legislation,” Silver said, “and, frankly, I was disappointed that they didn’t.”

The NBA is only the latest group to shun the state in the wake of HB2. In April, Bruce Springsteen canceled a concert in Greensboro. Pearl Jam, Ringo Starr and Boston likewise canceled shows, while Cirque du Soleil bypassed two scheduled performances. PayPal canceled plans to open a new payment center in Charlotte, and Deutsche Bank did away with plans to expand its operations in Cary, costing the state an estimated 650 jobs when combined.

Since April, more than 120 companies have called for a repeal of the law, as PepsiCo, American Airlines and Wells Fargo all have raised concerns.

The University of Albany also canceled a game at Duke University in November because of the executive order by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo banning publicly funded, nonessential travel to North Carolina.

“It’s an embarrassing bill,” Mike Krzyzewski, coach of Duke and Team USA, told USA Today after Wednesday’s Olympic team practice here. He said he stood by that statement Thursday, adding “Our state has lost a lot.”

A look at the main card for “UFC Fight Night Chicago,” which airs at 7 p.m. Saturday on Fox: Felice Herrig (10-6-0) vs. Kailin Curran (4-2-0) strawweights

Edson Barboza (17-4-0) vs. Gilbert Melendez (22-5-0) Lightweights

Francis Ngannou (7-1-0) vs. Bojan Mihajlovic (10-3-0) Heavyweights

Holly Holm (10-1-0) vs. Valentina Shevchenko (12-2-0) Bantamweights

record and a 1-1 mark in UFC bouts.

Her opponent, Kailin Curran, is a 25-year-old Hawaiian with a 4-2 record overall and 1-2 record in UFC. While Herrig is coming off a loss, Kailin Curran enters the match on an upswing after picking up her first UFC win in December.

“I feel like Felice has an advantage pretty much everywhere with her opponent,” Jeff Curran said. “But that’s just by visualizing how the girl fought and she’s fought. One thing when you’re new to the sport and you’re getting new coaching and you’re climbing the ladder like someone like Kailin is, she’s always got something

to learn, so she’s always going to come out better probably than the last time she fought. We kind of expect that.

“We’re not ... shaped too much in her brain about how the fight’s going to go, we’re just confident that she’s going to be stronger and we’re confident that she’s going to have the skill advantages in most departments.

After that it’s just a fight and we have to see how things fall in place.”

For her part, Herrig said she’s not worried about the competition.

“I’m not really concerned about what Kailin is thinking,” Herrig said in the UFC video. “The goal is always the same: to win fights.”

LAS VEGAS – The NBA announced Thursday it would be moving the 2017 All-Star Game from Charlotte, North Carolina, because of the state’s anti-LGBT legislation.

“The NBA has decided to relocate the 2017 All-Star Game from Charlotte with the hope of rescheduling for 2019,” the league said in a statement.

“Since March, when North Carolina enacted HB2 and the issue of legal protections for the LGBT community in Charlotte became prominent, the NBA and the Charlotte Hornets have been working diligently to foster constructive dialogue and try to effect positive change. We have been guided in these discussions by the long-standing core values of our league. These include not only diversity, inclusion, fairness and respect for others but also the willingness to listen and consider opposing points of view.

“Our week-long schedule of All-Star events and activities is intended to be a global celebration of basketball, our league, and the values for which we stand, and to bring together all members of the NBA community – current and former players, league and team

plans for our All-Star festivities in Charlotte for 2019 provided there is an appropriate resolution to this matter.”

The league said no decision has been made about where the game will be played, but that one will be announced in the coming weeks. The Vertical, which first reported the league was going to move the game, said it likely would be moved to New Orleans.

League sources had told The Washington Post this week there had been ongoing discussions over moving the game, and sources had indicated Chicago, New York and Las Vegas all were potential options. All four cities have the same essential fact in common: They all have the infrastructure and hotel accommodations to host such an event on short notice.

Ever since the state passed House Bill 2 in March, a law that requires transgender individuals to use public restrooms that correspond with the sex listed on their birth certificates, the NBA consistently has applied pressure to the state to make changes. And after NBA commissioner Adam Silver expressed his disappointment with the state legislature’s decision last month to make only small changes to the bill, this seemed to be the only likely outcome.

Dustin Johnson shares Canadian Open lead The ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKVILLE, Ontario – Dustin Johnson made a 10-foot eagle putt on the par-5 18th hole Thursday for a 6-under-par 66 and a share of the Canadian Open lead with Luke List.

The U.S. Open champion set up the eagle with a 364-yard drive and 150-yard approach. In windy conditions at sunbaked Glen Abbey, Johnson also had seven birdies and drove into the water on the par-4 14th en route to a double bogey. Johnson played the three back-nine par-5 holes in 4 under.

List birdied all four par 5s in a round he closed with seven pars.

Canadian amateur Jared du Toit was a stroke back along with former Arizona State teammate Jon Rahm, Chesson Hadley and Kelly Kraft. Coming off his junior season for the Sun Devils, du Toit holed out with an 8-iron for eagle on the par-4 17th and birdied 18.

Brandt Snedeker, the 2013 winner at Glen Abbey, had a 68 to match Brendon de Jonge, Steve Wheatcroft and Cameron Tringale.

Top-ranked defending champion Jason Day was in the group at 69.

Hahn, who plays at Wisconsin, shot rounds of 69 and 78 Thursday to finish at 2-under-par 286.

Paul Schlimm Jr., a 2014 Crystal Lake Central grad who plays for St. Francis, finished tied for 30th at 3-over 291 after shooting 73 and 80 Thursday.

Northbrook native and Illinois junior Nick Hardy won at 28-under to set a tournament record for best score in relation to par, toppling the 13-under mark set by former PGA Tour member Jerry Haas in 1984.

Hardy’s four-round total of 260 bested the previous mark, 270, shot by Robert Zender in 1971. Hardy’s 10-stroke margin of victory was one shy of Rob Grube’s 11-shot victory in 2006.

Battle House Emphasizes Team Results SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese With traditional laser tag, each participant earns an individual score, and the concept seems to be “every man for him (or her) self”. These types of facilities tend to primarily emphasize and report individual statistics, such as how many kills each person made, what their ‘hit to kill’ ratio was, and how their statistics compared to those of other players. Some locations have introduced technology that flashes this information onto a big board for everyone in the arena to see. It also can be displayed on a mobile app.

When creating the updated concept for Battle House Laser Combat, owner Doug Huckbody wanted to avoid the focus on individual scoring, and instead give his customers a true teambuilding experience. “My family and I played at these regular laser tag facilities, and we experienced their approach,” said Huckbody. “I later asked some of those players if they remembered the mission scenarios or the team results. No one could recall SM-CL0362746

the team missions, all they could remember was what they did individually. We quickly ruled out utilizing that individualized approach, and have worked to maintain the team focus.”

That experience was disappointing; there hadn’t been any teamwork involved, no strategies were formed, and the objectives seemed irrelevant.

Battle House’s approach emphasizes completing the mission as a team, so individual statistics aren’t published. “We record only the team accomplishments for each objective scenario,” said Huckbody. “Our equipment has the capability to provide individual stats, but we believe that would degrade the entire Battle House mission-based experience.”

Huckbody emphasizes that successfully completing a mission in nearly all cases requires true teamwork. Some planning, alignment of resources (who’s going to attempt to do what), working together in large and small groups, and communication are all necessary, and thus learned, during the Battle House experience.

LPGA TOUR: UL INTERNATIONAL CROWN

By ALEX KANTECKI

Golf fan from Genoa City, Wisconsin, formerly of Richmond

Gerina Piller and Stacy Lewis completed the 16th, the girls raced back to the 17th, ready to greet two more favorites they normally only get to see on TV. “They watch the LPGA on TV, and golf is kind of like hockey,” said Alan, 42.

“You need to see it in real life to really appreciate it. They enjoy the sport. They love getting high-fives from the players.

Especially these two, they stick out, and the players sort of gravitate to them, give them balls and all sorts of stuff. They really get a kick out of it.”

The first day of the international event didn’t go according to plan for the No. 2-seeded Americans, who lost both of their four-ball matchups against seventh-seeded England.

Both American pairs of Kerr and

Thompson and Piller and Lewis lost, 2 and 1, but that didn’t diminish the enjoyment of spectators who took in a worldclass event. The last time the Merit Club hosted a golf tournament was the 2000 U.S. Women’s Open.

Fifty thousand spectators are expected through Sunday, according to tournament director Drew Blass.

T.J. Medlyn, 40, of Cary brought his daughter, Delaney, 9, to her first LPGA event. The two found a comfortable spot to stretch out and relax near the 14th green.

“I’ve been to plenty of PGA tournaments and events, but this is actually pretty neat,” he said. “It’s nothing like anything I’ve ever been to. I like the relaxed atmosphere; it’s not as crowded as the PGA can be. You can get a lot more close to the players and interact. That’s really good for the kids.”

Marilyn Meade of Madison, Wisconsin, and Cheryl Tyndall of Green Bay attended Wednesday’s pro-am wearing white T-shirts with a picture of their favorite golfer, Kerr, plastered on the front.

They were surprised when Kerr asked to take a picture of them from her phone. Later that night, it was posted on

Kerr’s Instagram page. They returned Thursday, wearing the same shirts.

“I went over to ask for an autograph on my hat, and she asked if she could take a photo,” Meade said. “They are all very approachable.”

“We were just hoping to get a chance to show her our shirts and say hello,” Tyndall said. “She took the time and we met her father and we got to talk to him, too. You don’t find that with any other sport. They’re appreciative, like we are of them.”

Shortly after losing to England, Kerr and Thompson could be found practicing on the putting green not meant for fans. Fans made it over and waited, anyway, looking to score their next autograph.

Golfers from USA and Thailand stopped what they were doing and signed hats, shirts, towels and anything else thrown in their direction.

“It’s weird,” said Ethan Heelein, 14, of Genoa City, Wisconsin. “It’s like, ‘Where’s the screen?’ ... ‘Aren’t you supposed to be in a little box in a TV?’ ” “I’ve been to the Ryder Cup, and it’s just chaos,” Ethan’s dad, Mark, formerly of Richmond, added. “This is way more fun.”

GURNEE – Two young fans wearing matching red Minnie Mouse T-shirts and green “LPGA Girls Golf” hats sprinted toward the 17th tee box after Cristie Kerr and Lexi Thompson completed hole No. 16, hoping to grab the Americans’ attention on the first day of the UL International Crown at the Merit Club.

Charlie Stuart, 8, and Roslyn Stuart, 6, sisters from Northbrook, had seen Kerr and Thompson play before on TV, but the chance to interact with two of their idols was too good to pass up.

Charlie and Roslyn stretched out their hands as Kerr and Thompson walked by. Charlie held up a paper sign with a hand-drawn picture of the American flag, moving it up and down repeatedly.

Kerr wasn’t close enough to see the girls or the sign, but Thompson found them, flashed a smile, and extended her right hand.

Mission accomplished.

Charlie and Roslyn ran back to their dad, Alan, to share the good news. And another high-five.

6 WHITE SOX

Hahn: Sox open to total overhaul

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

CHICAGO – General manager Rick Hahn, his team “mired in mediocrity” for much too long, acknowledged Thursday the White Sox’s plan isn’t working and that management is open-minded to a complete rebuild.

“The only thing we’ve probably ruled out as we approach this (Aug. 1 trade) deadline is adding short-term rentals, [trading] an asset that could be of value long term for Rick Hahn something that would improve us only for this 2016 season,” Hahn said.

The Sox were 46-48 going into their game against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday with slim hopes of qualifying for the postseason, seven games out of a wild-card spot and 10 games out of first in the American League Central, which has become all too familiar territory.

Since the World Series championship in 2005, the Sox have participated in one playoff series and enjoyed one postseason victory.

Asked about doing a total rebuild, Hahn said, “We’ve got to be open-minded. We’re not where we want to be. We’ve spent a fair amount of time focusing on the here and now in the last few years, and it hasn’t paid off.”

However, when asked about his top two trade chips, All-Stars Chris Sale and Jose Quintana, Hahn said dealing left-handed premium pitchers under team control for the next several years (at affordable contract costs) “might be extreme.”

But he will listen, and already has, as teams wanting to win now explore what it would take. Hahn had an extensive meeting Wednesday with chairman Jerry Reinsdorf “about the next few weeks, the offseason and even beyond on what we may look like,’’ he said.

“He’s very disappointed and frustrated in terms of where we are but is very open-minded about what path makes the most sense to get us where we need to be,” Hahn said.

Sitting in fourth place in the AL Central – again – will open the mind.

It’s where the Sox finished the past two seasons, one place above 2013 when they were last.

As Hahn said, the plan is not working.

Besides Sale and Quintana, the Sox have

Tigers beat White Sox in 7 innings

CHICAGO – Ian Kinsler hit his 20th home run, Miguel Cabrera added his 19th, and the Detroit Tigers beat the struggling White Sox, 2-1, in a game that was called after more than a twohour rain delay in the seventh inning Thursday.

A heavy downpour before the bottom of the seventh sent players and umpires running for cover. And after two hours, five minutes the game was finally called.

an ample supply of players under team control beyond this season, including Todd Frazier, David Robertson, Melky Cabrera, Adam Eaton, Jose Abreu and Nate Jones. All have trade value. Having them all under contract control beyond this season, along with an entire starting rotation that can return, is also a reason to add pieces before next year to take another shot. But that approach hasn’t worked.

“Jerry is open-minded to all of the options in front of us,” Hahn said. “This isn’t the first conversation we’ve had about this, the first time we’ve talked about the notion of a longer time horizon.

“We’re mired in mediocrity. That’s not the goal, that’s not acceptable, that’s not what we’re trying to accomplish for the long-term.

“We may well have to adjust and take a long-term view, a different approach going forward.”

Lawrie leaves with hamstring tightness

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

CHICAGO – White Sox trainer Herm Schneider added Brett Lawrie’s left hamstring to Alex Avila’s right one on his care list Thursday.

Lawrie left the Sox’s game against the Detroit Tigers at U.S. Cellular Field during the fourth inning with a tight hamstring and is day to day. He has played in all but one Sox game this season and is batting .248 with 12 home runs, second on the team behind third baseman Todd Frazier.

Avila’s setback during his minor-league rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte will keep him out of action for at least four more weeks, general manager Rick Hahn said before the game.

Avila, who returned to Chicago, said he aggravated the hamstring Tuesday running on the bases.

That leaves the Sox with Dioner Navarro as the primary catcher and Omar Narvaez, who has played in one game, as the backup. Triple-A catcher Kevan Smith, scratched from his major league debut in Toronto in late April when his back locked up during the pregame stretch – he was called up when Avila went on the DL the first time with the hamstring problem – is catching again at Charlotte.

Rain delay: The Sox and Tigers were delayed by heavy rain at 9:18 p.m. with the Tigers leading, 2-1, in the middle of the seventh inning.

James Shields pitched six innings of two-run ball for his fifth straight quality start but left trailing Mike Pelfrey after

six innings. He allowed seven hits, including home runs by Ian Kinsler and Miguel Cabrera in the fifth inning that erased a 1-0 lead. Shields has an ERA of 2.09 over his past five starts.

Adam Eaton doubled and Tim Anderson singled to right to score Eaton and give the Sox a 1-0 lead in the third.

Surgery likely for Putnam: Right-hander Zach Putnam (elbow), who threw off a mound a couple of times in recent days “had a bit of a setback,” Hahn said, and is seeing a doctor to likely schedule surgery to remove bone spurs.

“It will be several weeks before he can potentially return,” Hahn said.

Jackson not close: Center fielder Austin Jackson’s follow-up MRI showed modest improvement in his surgically repaired right knee and likely will ramp up nonimpact activity, but “it’s going to be a slow return for him,” Hahn said.

“We’re still several weeks away.”

Jackson signed a one-year, $5 million contract in spring training.

The rumor mill: As the Aug. 1 trade deadline nears and the Sox fall deeper out of contention, the only thing players can do is try avoiding the distraction and keep playing. What else are they going to do?

“Nothing really,” said Frazier, who went into the game tied for the major league lead in home runs with 28. “Just listen to what you guys (news media) say online. That’s about it. Or I’ll hear about something from my agent. Last year he would call me and say, ‘Hey, this is something that’s brewing.’

“So, we’ll be looking for you guys online.”

8 CUBS

Relievers confident they can do job

By JOSH TOLENTINO For the Sun-Times

CHICAGO – Even after adding lefty Mike Montgomery to their bullpen via trade with Seattle on Wednesday, Theo Epstein made it clear the Cubs are in search of additional bullpen help as the Aug. 1 trade deadline approaches.

Their relievers, however, believe they have enough to get the job done into October.

But even pitcher Adam Warren said he wouldn’t mind adding to the bullpen.

“I think it would be naïve to say it wouldn’t help to add a premium guy,” Warren said. “But I think we have a lot of confidence in the guys we have as well. The chemistry we have in this clubhouse is pretty special right now, so you hate to kind of mess with that.”

The Cubs have lost 10 games this season after entering the seventh inning with a lead or tie. They are 11-14 in one-run games.

They lost another one Tuesday, 2-1 to the Mets, after closer Hector Rondon gave up a run in the ninth. Even

Brazil nabs 10 IS backers in anti-terrorism swoop

By MAURICIO SAVARESE and ADRIANA GOMEZ LICON The Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO – Ten Brazilians who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State militant group were arrested Thursday, authorities announced, describing them as “amateurs” who discussed on social media the possibility of staging attacks during next month’s Olympics.

Justice Minister Alexandre de Moraes said in the capital, Brasilia, that the 10 were being held on two terrorism-related charges and that two more people were being sought.

Authorities said any attack plan would have had little chance of coming to fruition, citing the group’s lack of resources and skills.

But officials and security experts argued that police were justified in being aggressive in light of “lone wolf” attacks staged in the U.S. and Europe by men with little or no training.

Moraes said police acted because the group discussed using weapons and guerrilla tactics to potentially launch an attack during the Olympics, which begin Aug. 5 in Rio de Janeiro.

They will remain in police custody for at least 30 days.

“They were complete amateurs and ill-prepared” to actually launch an attack, Moraes said. “A few days ago they said they should start practicing martial arts, for example.”

He said that there were no specific targets for an attack, but that even disorganized groups have to be taken seriously.

The possibility of an attack is not so “far-fetched” even though Brazil never has been a target for terrorism, said Alex Kassirer, a counterterrorism analyst at Flashpoint, a New York-based intelligence group.

“The Olympics is a really unique opportunity to be able to target a concentration of all of the enemies in one area,” she said.

our bullpen is fine. We need to pitch more. We need to get more confidence – not for me, but maybe for some other guys.”

Right-hander Justin Grimm described the search for additional relief as more of a want versus a need.

“We have a lot of in-house guys that can get it done,” said Grimm, who has struggled this season (5.17 ERA) after playing a significant role during last year’s playoff run. “It’s completely out of my hands, so it’s nothing I can control. I believe in the job that I can do and I believe in the guys in this locker room.”

The Cubs’ bullpen ranks in the middle of the pack in the majors with a 3.85 ERA and has blown 10 of 27 save chances this year.

Not surprisingly, some of the other top playoff contenders have bullpens that rank among the best in the game – Washington, Kansas City, Baltimore and the Mets all among the top six.

Among a thin choice of options around the league, pitchers such as the Yankees’ Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman are among the top targets for

the Cubs – and other contenders such as the Giants and Indians.

Warren, who was traded from the Cubs by the Yankees in December, knows first-hand what Miller brings to the back end of a bullpen.

“I know him really well. … He’s pretty easy going, so I could see him fitting in this clubhouse,” Warren said. “As good as he’s been, I feel like it might take a lot to get him.”

Chapman, whose fastball reached 105 mph in a game Monday, also comes with off-the-field baggage. He served a suspension this season for a domestic violence allegation.

That doesn’t mean he wouldn’t be the pitcher the Cubs need or be able to function well within the clubhouse.

But, in general, chemistry matters, players say.

And even on the field, the best-laid plans don’t always work – something team officials have cautioned in recent days.

“We have good guys,” Warren said.

“But you just have to be careful when making changes just because it might look good on paper.”

Bull Valley Dentistry educates adults about getting braces SPONSORED BY

An adult may feel surprised if Dr. John Dano recommends they get braces, but braces aren’t just for kids anymore. Seeing adults with braces is not unusual at all these days.

Many adults have a relapse from earlier orthodontics, or even concerns from how their earlier orthodontics was done to help correct temporomandibular disorder (TMJ). In many cases neuromuscular orthodontics is the way to go for adults with jaw, shoulder, neck or back pain. Most patients do not understand that pain in these areas could very easily be caused by the way that they are “biting” on their teeth.

Here are some of the things adults need to know about getting braces.

Orthodontia is used to fix crooked teeth, a bad bite or bad occlusion. Orthodontics can in many cases prevent a lot of dental and other health problems, such as gum disease; tooth decay, wear, or loss; jaw problems; tooth wear; headache and migraine pain;

back, neck and shoulder aches, and balance, vertigo and tinnitus concerns.

Getting braces protects the health of your teeth and gums as well. Orthodontics is much more than just about “aesthetics.”

Traditional braces and their colored bands are familiar to many people. But adults tend to prefer a more subdued, less visible look. Luckily, there are such options.

These include braces with ceramic brackets created to match tooth color, lingual braces put on the back of the teeth, Invisalign clear removable aligners, and Six Month Smile Braces.

Braces are very effective on adults.

Dr. Dano can give you advice on the best type of orthodontics for your smile and bite. Most adults who have had relapse, or other concerns with repeating orthodontic treatment, go through orthodontics for a far less time then they previously did.

The Russians had argued against a collective ban, saying it punishes those athletes who have not been accused of wrongdoing.

The IAAF praised the decision, saying: “Today’s judgment has created a level playing field for athletes.”

IAAF President Sebastian Coe, who has declared the ban is crucial to protecting the integrity of the competition, said it was “not a day for triumphant

sia missed the Olympics was in 1984, when the Soviet Union boycotted the Los Angeles Games.

The World Anti-Doping Agency, along with many national anti-doping bodies and athletes groups, have called on the IOC to impose a total ban on Russia after fresh allegations of state-orchestrated cheating across dozens of Olympic sports.

Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren, who was commissioned by WADA, issued a scathing report Monday that accused Russia’s Sports Ministry of orchestrating a doping system that affected 28 summer and winter Olympic sports. Officers of Russia’s intelligence service, the FSB, also were involved in the cheating, which included swapping of doping samples at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, McLaren found.

On Tuesday, the IOC executive board said it would “explore the legal options” for a possible total ban on Russia but would wait until after the CAS ruling before making a final decision.

The IOC executive board is scheduled to hold another emergency meeting Sunday via teleconference to consider the issue. In a statement Thursday, the IOC said it “takes note” of the CAS ruling upholding the track and field ban.

“We will now have to study and analyze the full decision,” the IOC said.

“The IOC decision on the participation of the Russian athletes will be taken in the coming days.”

OLYMPICS NOTES

China vows zero-tolerance on doping for Olympic team The ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIJING – Seeking to dismiss lingering doubts, a top Chinese sports official said the country has committed to a zero-tolerance stance on doping ahead of the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Vice Director of the General Administration of Sports Gao Zhidian told the official Xinhua News Agency on Thursday that Olympics-bound athletes and coaches are required to sign pledges not to cheat, saying violators would be severely punished.

Gao said athletes, coaches and team doctors also must pass a written exam on banned substances with only those scoring 80 percent or more permitted to go to Rio. “China has been firmly against doping and has a zero-tolerance approach to this particular problem,” said Gao, who is also deputy chef de mission of

China’s 711- member Olympic delegation. “We have made it very clear that we want to ensure fair play and the well-being of athletes.”

China has sought to shake off a reputation for doping, particularly in distance running and swimming that gave rise to multiple scandals in the 1990s.

That resolve was questioned when it emerged that officials waited six months before revealing that champion swimmer Sun Yang served a threemonth suspension after testing positive in May 2014.

Sun, the gold medalist in the 400- and 1,500-meter freestyle at the 2012 London Olympics, was named male swimmer of the meet at last year’s world championships in August in Kazan, Russia.

China is sending 416 athletes to Rio, including 35 former Olympic champions. China topped the table at the 2008 Games and won the second largest number of medals in London, includ-

ing 38 golds.

Based on recent performances by Chinese athletes, some studies predict the country could return to the top of the table at Rio with as many as 39 golds.

Marc Gasol to miss Olympics: At Madrid, the Spanish basketball federation said center Marc Gasol will miss the Olympics after failing to recover from a broken foot in time.

The federation said “Gasol hasn’t passed the necessary medical tests” and will miss the games.

Gasol has not played since he broke his right foot in February while playing for the Memphis Grizzlies.

Spain won silver medals in men’s basketball at the past two Olympics, losing the finals to the United States.

The 2016 basketball event starts in less than three weeks.

English campaign for jousting: At London, baseball has a rival for inclusion

in the Olympics: jousting.

Ahead of the Rio Olympics, the English Heritage charity launched a campaign Thursday for the ancient equestrian sport to be included on the program at future editions of the games.

English Heritage’s Lucy Hutchings said jousting “requires similar levels of athleticism and artistry as other official Olympic sports” and has its roots in ancient Greece.

It’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Jousting, which sees competitors wearing armor gallop toward opponents thrusting a lance, is not a mass participation sport.

The International Olympic Committee already has a shortlist under consideration to be added to the program for the 2020 Tokyo Games. The IOC will select one of baseball-softball, surfing, skateboarding, karate and sports climbing at a meeting next month.

LONDON – Now that Russian track and field athletes have failed in their effort to have their Olympic ban overturned, it’s up to the IOC to decide whether to kick the entire Russian team out of the games that begin in 15 days in Rio de Janeiro.

In another blow to the image of the sports superpower, the highest court in sports Thursday dismissed an appeal by 68 Russian track athletes of the ban imposed by the IAAF after allegations of systematic and state-sponsored doping.

Sports officials in Moscow condemned the ruling as “political,” and said some athletes might take their case to civil courts. Two-time Olympic pole vault champion Yelena Isinbayeva said the Rio Games will be devalued, with only “pseudo-gold medals” available.

In its ruling, the Court of Arbitration for Sport found that track and field’s world governing body, the IAAF, had properly applied its own rules in keeping the Russians out of the games that begin Aug. 5.

The three-man panel ruled that the Russian Olympic Committee “is not entitled to nominate Russian track and field athletes to compete at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games considering that they are not eligible to participate under the IAAF competition rules.”

statements.”

“I didn’t come into this sport to stop athletes from competing,” he said. “It is our federation’s instinctive desire to include, not exclude.”

Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko suggested Russia could take the case to a civil court. CAS general secretary Matthieu Reeb said the Russians have the right to appeal to the Swiss federal tribunal within 30 days, but only on “procedural grounds,” not the merits of the decision. Olympic bodies and athletes sign up to CAS jurisdiction, and its rulings have very rarely been overturned.

Reeb said the ruling is not binding on the International Olympic Committee, which has the final say as the supreme organizer of the games. However, the IOC last month accepted the IAAF decision to maintain its ban on the Russian athletes.

“The door is open for the IOC to decide, to determine even on a case-bycase principle whether these athletes are eligible or not,” Reeb told reporters outside the court headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland.

While the ruling clears the way for other individual sports federations to apply similar bans on Russians, it also increases pressure on the IOC to take the unprecedented step of excluding the whole Russian team. The IOC has never banned an entire country from the games for doping, and the last time Rus-

Star pitcher indicted in gambling investigation

By KIM TONG–HYUNG The Associated Press

Members of the New York Liberty team await the start of a game July 13 against the Atlanta Dream in New York. The WNBA has fined the Liberty, Phoenix Mercury and Indiana Fever and their players for wearing plain black warm-up shirts in the wake of recent shootings by and against police officers. All three teams were fined $5,000 and each player was fined $500.

Fines issued for protest shirts

By DOUG FEINBERG The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Social activism is coming at a cost for WNBA players.

The WNBA has fined the Indiana Fever, New York Liberty and Phoenix Mercury and their players for wearing black warm-up shirts in the wake of recent shootings by and against police officers.

All three teams were fined $5,000 and each player was fined $500 as the shirts violated the league’s uniform policy.

Although the shirts were the Adidas brand – the official outfitter of the league - WNBA rules state that uniforms may not be altered in any way.

“What’s most upsetting is the way it was handled,” Indiana Fever player rep Briann January said. “You have a league that is 90 – if not above 90 percent – African American, and you have an issue that is directly affecting them and the people they know and you have a league that isn’t willing to side with them.

“It’s not a race issue, not an anti-police issue, not a black or white issue. It’s a right or wrong issue.”

WNBA President Lisa Borders said Wednesday night in a statement to The Associated Press the fines were not about the players speaking out on a so-

“It’s not a race issue, not an anti-police issue, not a black or white issue. It’s a right or wrong issue.”

Indiana Fever player rep cial issue.

“We are proud of WNBA players’ engagement and passionate advocacy for non-violent solutions to difficult social issues but expect them to comply with the league’s uniform guidelines,” Borders said.

Nonetheless, Indiana Fever All-Star Tamika Catchings, who is retiring at the end of the season and is the president of the players union, is disappointed in the WNBA’s actions.

“Instead of the league taking a stance with us, where they tell us they appreciate our expressing our concerns like they did for Orlando, we’re fighting against each other,” she said.

The league was quick to give every team shirts in support of the Orlando tragedy in June, which the players wore.

“We were OK with that, we wanted to support that, but also they can’t pick and choose what initiatives to support and what not to support just because it doesn’t push their agenda,” Liberty guard Tanisha Wright said. “This is important to us.”

Typical WNBA fines for technical fouls or such are about half the $500 amount the players were fined for wearing the black shirts. WNBA rookies such as New York’s Adut Bulgak make roughly $40,000.

The Liberty have worn the plain black shirts four times, including Wednesday morning against Washington. They didn’t wear them Thursday in their matinee game against the Fever, opting for their normal black shirts with the Liberty logo. Tina Charles did wear her warm-up shirt inside out.

“After seeing the African-American male shot three times after helping an autistic person out this morning in Florida, I knew I couldn’t be silent,” Charles said after the Liberty lost to the Fever.

“Knowing the player I am representing this organization, if anybody was going to wear it, it had to be me. I have no problem wearing this shirt inside out for the rest of the season until we are able to have the WNBA support us.”

SEOUL, South Korea – South Korean prosecutors have indicted a leading baseball player for allegedly manipulating games for gambling purposes in what could be another blow to the reputation of the country’s professional sports leagues.

Prosecutors in Changwon city Thursday said they formally charged pitcher Lee Tae Yang, a starter for NC Dinos in the Korea Baseball Or- Lee Tae Yang ganization, over allegations he deliberately allowed first-inning walks and runs in two games last season after receiving about $17,500 from a gambling broker, who has been arrested.

Another player linked to the case is Moon Woo-ram, an outfielder with South Korea’s military baseball team in the KBO’s second-tier competition, who is suspected of receiving about $8,770 in cash and gifts from the broker for connecting him with Lee, prosecutors said.

According to prosecutors, Lee and the broker colluded over four of Lee’s starts between May and September last year, and the pitcher successfully delivered in two of the games. Lee had promised to give up at least a run in the first inning in a May 29 start against the KIA Tigers, when he ended up allowing five runs over four innings in a loss, and at least a walk in the first inning in an Aug. 6 start against the Lotte Giants, when he gave up two runs while lasting only three innings, prosecutors said.

The Changwon-based Dinos issued an apology over the suspicions surrounding Lee, who has been left off the team’s active roster since June 28 for what the team had described as an elbow injury, and said it was taking steps to terminate the contract.

Lee, 23, enjoyed a breakout season for the Dinos in 2015, going 10-5 as a starter to help the team reach the playoffs.

ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE

ACC, ESPN deal goes to 2036, includes new ACC Network

By AARON BEARD

The Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Atlantic Coast Conference finally is getting its own TV channel.

Commissioner John Swofford said Thursday the ACC Network will launch in August 2019 as part of an extended media deal with ESPN that runs through the 2035-36 season.

Speaking at his annual forum during the ACC Kickoff media days, Swofford said there also will be the creation of a digital channel that will be online next month. The league will move to a 20-game league schedule in men’s basketball by 2019, part of an effort to boost the available content toward the goal of airing more than 1,300 events annually through those outlets.

“It was also very important to both ESPN and our league that we try to create a model in which each of the ACC’s 27 sponsored sports would be televised in some manner,” Swofford said. “I don’t know if we’ll get them all as some are extremely difficult to produce for television, but by 2019, we’re going to be very close.”

The other major TV news was about the media rights schools would leave behind if they left the ACC. Swofford said league schools unanimously extended a grant-of-rights provision that gives the ACC control of media rights – and more importantly, the money that comes with them – for any school that choses to leave the conference for the duration of the ESPN deal.

It’s a move designed to ensure the stability of the league because schools that go elsewhere wouldn’t bring along their own media rights to enhance the TV package for a new conference home, said Dean Jordan, a global media managing executive with the Wasserman media group who represented the ACC in negotiations with ESPN. The league typically receives and then distributes the media-rights revenues to member schools. In a hypothetical case, Jordan said, the ACC would keep the revenue for a team’s home football game as the rights holder even if that team was playing in another league, then divide the departed school’s amount among the remaining ACC schools.

LONDON – Three Italian players will be investigated by world tennis’ anti-corruption unit after they were suspended by their national federation for match-fixing.

The 143rd-ranked Marco Cecchinato and his lower-ranked compatriots Riccardo Accardi and Antonio Campo were banned for up to 18 months by the Italian federation this week for allegedly influencing the outcome of matches.

In an email to The Associated Press on Thursday, the International Tennis Federation said the Tennis Integrity Unit has asked the Italian federation to provide it with the evidence on which the sanctions were imposed.

The Italian federation suspended Cecchinato until January 2018 and fined him $44,000 for allegedly losing on purpose during a Challenger event in Mohammedia, Morocco, in October 2015.

MEGEVE, France – Take it from cycling great Eddy Merckx: nobody can beat Chris Froome in this Tour de France.

Riding with the poise and purpose of the Tour’s undisputed leader, Froome won a mountain time trial in Stage 18 on Thursday and opened a seemingly insurmountable lead of almost four minutes over his closest challenger, Dutch rider Bauke Mollema.

Only two Alpine stages remain before Sunday’s mostly ceremonial finish on the Champs-Elysees in Paris.

“He deserves his win. He’s the strongest,” said Merckx, a five-time Tour winner. “I can’t see what could prevent him from keeping this yellow jersey until Paris. His opponents just stay on his teammates’ wheels. Barring an incident, nobody can beat him in this Tour.”

12 BEARS TRAINING CAMP POSITION ANALYSIS: CORNERBACKS

Group needs to make more big plays in ’16 Training camp

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com The Bears bring back their starting three cornerbacks from the end of 2015: Tracy Porter, Kyle Fuller and Bryce Callahan. They also retained Sherrick McManis, Jacoby Glenn and De’Vante Bausby. Six returning players, and then three rookies form the group of nine that might be the most underdiscussed position group for the Bears this offseason, one that is not free of question marks.

Three things to watch at cornerback in training camp: Fuller’s progression: It’s Year 3 now for Fuller, the 14th overall pick from 2014. He has the size and athleticism to be an effective cornerback, one who should thrive in Vic Fangio’s defense. It took Fuller a few games last season, but he ended up playing well down the stretch, finishing with two interceptions and nine passes H. Rick Bamman file photo – hbamman@shawmedia.com defensed. Embarrassingly for the Bears cornerback Kyle Fuller looks on before a Bears, those two picks led the team. play against the Cardinals on Sept. 20 at Soldier Fuller needs to make more plays on Field. Fuller had a team-high two interceptions the ball. As someone not acquired and nine passes defensed last season. by this regime, Fuller’s long-term

This is the ninth of our position-by-position series previewing what to watch in Bears training camp. Players report Wednesday in Bourbonnais. future with the Bears isn’t safe, adding importance to how he plays this season, and it starts in camp, where he’ll get quite the tests in receivers Alshon Jeffery and Kevin White.

What’s next for Porter: Tracy Porter emerged as the Bears’ top defensive back last season, highlighted by his four-passes-defensed performance in the upset win in Green Bay. At 29, Porter is the oldest defensive back on the team with by far the most game experience. He’s the leader of a secondary that has to create more turnovers. Porter was counted on in some games to shadow the opposing team’s top receiver, and Fangio and coach John Fox could do that again this season.

Coming off a fully healthy offseason,

Porter – who wasn’t signed until June last year – should be more than ready to go. Now he has to build on last year’s performance while also mentoring the rest of the DBs. That begins in Bourbonnais, where Porter missed time last summer because of injuries.

Long-armed Hall: The Bears had a chance to get Vernon Hargreaves III in the first round, and several other corners in Rounds 2 and 3, but waited until the fourth to get Deiondre’ Hall, the long, Northern Iowa cover man. You’ll hear a lot about Hall’s wingspan, and Fangio and defensive backs coach Ed Donatell can use this summer to hone that physical advantage to help Hall’s transition to the NFL from the FCS. He can find a way to contribute on special teams, but if Hall stands out in camp, he might force Fangio and Donatell’s hands to find a way to get the rookie in the mix in a secondary that simply did not make enough impact plays last season. Making plays on the ball in training camp also will be key for undrafted rookies Kevin Peterson and Taveze Calhoun, as they try to find a way onto the roster.
