Good morning, McHenry County ...

Campaign 2016: An American horror story Maybe I’m in the wrong business, but I know I’m not the only one who loathes presidential election season.

The absurdity usually reaches a crescendo during convention weeks, and this year’s events likely even had “Saturday Night Live” writers blushing.

If tragedy or significant adversity is what sometimes bring out the best in our nation, politics, particularly the kind we get every four years, is what reduces us to our lowest common denominators. Campaign 2016 has brought us to the briny depths well below sea level.

Think cable TV news was unwatchable before? Tune in for the next episode of “American Horror Story” playing hourly on the channel of your choice.

One flawed candidate made it through to the nomination through a rigged process and the other flawed candidate made it through a party that couldn’t control him, itself or its own voters. Maybe some of you are excited about the outcomes, but many of us aren’t.

We still have more than three months to get through this. One candidate will win and the other will lose, and I’m not convinced the rest

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Kevin Lyons of us will win much of anything come November.

But until then, expect the rhetoric to heat up. Expect to walk into irrational shouting matches among family members and neighbors on social media or on the patio. But also expect some of us to sit in the corner sullenly as those battles rage as we prepare to vote in November while holding our collective noses.

What we know is that much of this passion is wasted since neither of these candidates has a fraction of a percent of emotional investment in any of us as their vocal supporters have in them. At least there’s some solace in understanding that.

BOSTON – Boston Marathon bombing survivor Adrianne Haslet can check mountaineering off her bucket list.

The professional ballroom dancer lost a leg in the 2013 finish-line attacks and ran the entire 26.2-mile race last spring. Over the weekend, she scaled Ecuador’s third-highest mountain.

Haslet reached the summit of 18,996-foot Volcan Cayambe with a team of climbers from the Range of Motion Project. The nonprofit group helps provide prosthetic limbs to amputees around the world who don’t have access to them.

The expedition summited the snowcapped mountain Sunday.

“I feel the most grounded I have felt in over three years,” Haslet said Monday from Ecuador in a Twitter message exchange with The Associated Press.

CORRECTION

A letter to the editor in the Sunday, July 24, edition of the Northwest Herald incorrectly stated that, in a July 17 news story about more bike paths being built in the county, the president of the McHenry County Bicycle Club stated that “he doesn’t obey the rules of the road.” The president of the bike club did not say that in the news story. The Northwest Herald apologizes for the error.

TO REPLACE OR REPAIR?

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The 3-foot-deep pile of books and DVDs waiting for Crystal Lake Public Library employees on Monday gives a mute but strong rebuttal to the argument that the internet and e-books are making libraries irrelevant.

The book drop empties out into a tiny room, forcing librarians to stack the books onto carts to sort elsewhere – it can take up to three days to record into the library’s computer system that checked-out items put into the book drop were returned. Modern library technology exists that would take it off patrons’ records in seconds.

To library supporters, the hassle is a footnote in a book-sized list of problems with the 126 W. Paddock St. library that are so acute that the only solution is to build a new one. Limited parking and steep, crumbling steps give access to a library that was not built to accommodate modern heating, venting, air conditioning, light-

ing and technology, Library Director Kathryn I. Martens said.

Voters will be asked an advisory referendum Nov. 8 as to whether the city should borrow $30.1 million to replace it at the same site. The City Council voted last week, 7-0, to put the question on the ballot after the Crystal Lake Public Library Board presented the conclusions reached by a community focus group it assembled.

“The public library is an integral part of the educational fabric of the community, and this building does not allow us to provide a 21st-century public library,” Martens said.

Although the ballot question is nonbinding, the voters’ answer will give direction to the City Council, which has the power to borrow the money without a binding referendum. But in a county with what several studies conclude is one of the highest property tax burdens in the nation, in a state in which people are leaving

Committee advances proposed anti-corruption referendum

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – An advisory referendum to gauge voter support for anti-corruption laws that would take money out of politics got a nudge forward Monday.

The McHenry County Board Management Services Committee voted, 6-0, to recommend putting the non-binding referendum on the Nov. 8 ballot. The question outlines five initiatives aimed at significantly restricting campaign funding and the ability of public officials to collect it.

Woodstock resident Scott Gessert, who has asked the board during its past several meetings to advance the question, said he was cautiously optimistic about its changes. Although it is advisory, he said the question, which has appeared on ballots elsewhere, will help advance reform.

Gessert is the McHenry County leader of the national grass-roots group Represent.Us, which is pushing nationwide for the model legislation. Several supporters of the referendum joined Gessert in the audience.

“I really believe that it’s a movement with merits, and it’s a movement which is fiercely cross-partisan in its approach, and unifying in its message, and it’s the right thing to do,” Gessert said.

If put on the ballot by the County Board, voters in one yes or no question

“I really believe that it’s a movement with merits, and it’s a movement which is fiercely cross-partisan in its approach, and unifying in its message, and it’s the right thing to do.”

Scott Gessert

McHenry County leader of Represent.Us will be asked whether they support prohibiting politicians from taking campaign money from special interests they regulate; increasing campaign funding transparency; allowing voters to contribute to candidates through a tax-rebate voucher; placing limits on how much super-PACs can raise and spend; and prohibiting elected officials and their senior staff from participating in lobbying activity for five years after leaving office.

The question mirrors one that appeared on ballots last year in Winnebago and DeKalb counties – voters approved them both.

The committee amended the resolution to send the proposed question to the Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs Committee before it goes to the full County Board next month for a vote. Chair-

woman Tina Hill, R-Woodstock, said the committee felt that it should go through that committee as well because the question indirectly asks for changes to state and federal laws.

“The committee felt that it’s appropriate for seven more board members to see it before it goes to the board floor,” Hill said.

The committee next meets Aug. 12, which means that the County Board would have one chance to vote on the proposed referendum at its Aug. 16 meeting.

The deadline for local governments to put referendums on the ballot is Aug. 22.

Campaign finance has become a more hot-button issue in recent years because of U.S. Supreme Court rulings that critics allege loosened long-standing restrictions.

The court ruled in 2010 that corporations have a First Amendment right to spend unlimited amounts for or against candidates – the so-called “Citizens United” ruling – and ruled in 2014 that limits on contributions that people can make over a two-year period to national party and federal candidate committees is unconstitutional.

Countywide voters on Nov. 8 also will be asked an advisory question as to whether the County Board should be reduced in size from 24 members – the law gives the board a window to do so as part of the redistricting process after the 2020 U.S. Census.

POLICE REPORTS Information in police reports is obtained from the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office and municipal police departments. Individuals listed in police reports who have been charged with a crime have not been proved guilty in court.

Any day now, the History ChanFor more information about the nel will begin filming at the Volo Auto Museum for a six-show series about car treasure hunting, to air in the fall or by the first of the year.

Grams, who will star in the show, said he’s been trying to market the museum for such a show for 10 years.

Name change contest

After 56 years, the owners of the Volo Auto Museum are seeking a name change. The contest runs through July 31. If a new name is chosen, the winner will receive $5,000.

There are a couple of reasons the family is doing this, Grams said. One is that the museum offers much more than cars, and the word “museum” just isn’t appealing.

“When people think of museums they think stuffy, dusty, old, boring.

There’s a stigma,” he said.

There’s one catch, though. They don’t want to lose the name Volo because it’s so much a part of who they are.

The family is not obligated to choose a new name if they can’t find one to their liking.

“We’ve all tried and can’t come up with anything,” Grams said, noting they’ve received about 600 submissions to date. “We’re hoping someone can come up with something.”

The Lake County landmark is still owned and operated by the Grams family, which is credited with helping to put the little town of Volo on the map.

The family business started in 1960 as a resale shop that William J. Grams Sr. operated out of an old dairy barn, but it was his sons, Greg and Bill, who launched what was to become an epic car collection.

“My dad (Greg) and his brother (Bill) worked the retail business in the day and at night they tinkered with cars and collected cars as a hobby,” said Brian Grams, who is museum director. “People soon started coming out to see their cars, even though they were junk.”

Then the brothers bought a 1931 Chrysler CD-8 Roadster for $500, the most money they’d ever spent, restored it and sold it for a whopping $25,000.

Though William Sr. was a little irked his sons were more interested in cars than the resale shop, he couldn’t deny the car business was their destiny, Grams said.

“It started the car dealership, then it just evolved from there.”

In addition to buying and selling classic cars, the museum has an impressive display of cars seen in popular TV shows and big-name movies and owned by celebrities including Elvis Presley, Michael Jordan and Oprah Winfrey.

The museum even supplies cars to movie studios. In fact, the Duesenberg driven by Leonardo DiCaprio in “The Great Gatsby” was purchased from the Volo Auto Museum, as was a car used in the 2013 Superman movie “Man of Steel,” portions of which were filmed in Chicago.

Bringing in the Hollywood cars has definitely given the museum’s attendance a boost, Grams said.

“Prior to that, our attendance here was men, no women or children,” he said. “Now we see more families.”

Over the years the museum has expanded to feature other exhibits, including snowmobiles, tractors, motorized cycles, boat and marine memorabilia, vintage arcade games and kiddie rides, Disney and Looney Tunes displays, a military museum and much more.

Special events are held throughout the year. A Camaro show was held July 23, with a Mustang show scheduled for Sept. 3. Haunted train tours are offered in the fall, as some believe the museum grounds are haunted by the spirit of a dead Civil War soldier whose family

WOODSTOCK – A Wisconsin woman formally denied allegations that she was under the influence of heroin during a McHenry crash that seriously injured a motorcyclist and killed his passenger.

Sheree Ann Shaw, 45, appeared in McHenry County Court on Monday after she was extradited from Las Vegas for missing court appearances in Illinois and Wisconsin.

Shaw pleaded not guilty to two counts of aggravated DUI, Class 2 felonies and two counts of aggravated DUI, Class 4 felonies. If convicted, Shaw faces three to 14 years in prison on the Class 2 felonies and one to 12 years on the Class 4 felonies.

She is currently in custody on $100,000 bond. Assistant State’s Attorney Michael Combs filed a motion to increase her bond, and he and Assistant Public Defender Angelo Mourelatos will argue the matter Wednesday.

Police have said that Shaw was driving about 3:30 p.m. May 6 in the 2500 block of Route 31 in McHenry when she entered the southbound lanes, striking a 2007 Sheree Ann Harley-Davidson Road Shaw Glide. The motorcycle was driven by Mike Thornton with passenger Amy Thornton, police said.

Amy Thornton, 42, died nine days later at Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville. Her husband, Mike Thornton, 39, has since been released from the hospital.

Shaw was briefly in McHenry County custody in May when she was arrested after the crash for operating a motor vehicle without a valid driver’s license. She posted bond and returned to Wisconsin, according to court records.

Police later arrested Shaw in Walworth County on upgraded charges but she was released on $2,500 recog-

Buffalo Grove girl still in critical condition after Route 173 crash

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com RICHMOND – A collision Saturday between a semitractor trailer and a car near Richmond sent three adults and one juvenile to the hospital with injuries, police said.

A 2010 Nissan Rogue was traveling north on Keystone Road in unincorporated Richmond about 12:33 p.m. July 23 when it failed to yield at a stop sign, according to a McHenry County Sheriff’s Department news release. The vehicle pulled out in front of a 2006 International truck-trailer pulling a fully loaded Walker tanker semi-trailer. The tractor-trailer had no stop sign.

The tractor-trailer driver, of Wisconsin, was treated and released at the scene by the Hebron-Alden-Greenwood Fire Protection District.

The adult male driver and two adult

passengers were treated at the scene and transported to Centegra Hospital –McHenry with injuries not considered to be life-threatening, police said.

A Buffalo Grove girl was transported by Flight for Life to Condell Hospital, where she remains in critical condition. Alcohol was not suspected as a factor in the crash, and all passengers were believed to have been wearing seat belts, police said.

Route 173 and Keystone Road were shut down for several hours.

Fire departments from Richmond, Hebron-Alden-Greenwood and Wonder Lake were at the scene.

Investigations are ongoing by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Traffic Crash Investigations Unit. Members of the Richmond Police Department, Hebron Police Department and McHenry County Sheriff’s Department Volunteer Program assisted with traffic control.

Slow down: Illinois Speed Awareness Day coming up Crystal Lake, Cary police joining enforcement effort

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Police departments around McHenry County are joining forces with agencies across the state for the 2016 Illinois Speed Awareness Day Campaign.

During this campaign, more than 80 Illinois agencies, including the Crystal Lake Police Department and Cary Police Department, are taking extra actions Wednesday to promote safety for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists through education and enforcement.

“The goal is to not just make it about issuing tickets,” Cary Deputy Chief Scott Naydenoff said. “It’s also about educating people because a lot of people still don’t understand how

dangerous speeding can be.”

Speeding can have many consequences, especially in residential areas. For instance, speeding can reduce a driver’s ability to easily navigate around curves and can extend the distance required to safely stop a vehicle in emergency situations.

Naydenoff said the Cary department was recently notified of the initiative and decided to join it since traffic fatalities have increased this year.

“Since the types of crashes that are attributed to speed are on the rise, this was identified as something we should make a priority of,” Naydenoff said.

• LIBRARY

Continued from page A3

Kathryn I. Martens

Crystal Lake Public Library director tax increases.

To supporters such as resident Martha Mitchell, residents might not know what a library can truly do for them because the current facility does not come close to allowing it to reach its full potential.

“If I vote for more money to be used for the library, at least I know my money will be carefully and thoughtfully spent, and I’ll get more out of the results. If you don’t use a library, you are missing out on one of the best resources available to you. Shame on us if we can’t see a way to provide our community with a better library facility,” she wrote.

Opponent Douglas Knight, a Prairie Grove resident who pays property taxes on his Crystal Lake business, said that the scope of the project is too large, and he questioned just how representative the focus group was of the community.

Others, such as retired resident Gary Komosa, 63, said he can barely afford the $12,000 property-tax bill on his home as it is.

“Are these people not paying attention to the tax issue and economy in Illinois? We can get by very nicely with what we have. The library is not in distress … Illinois is,” Komosa wrote to the newspaper.

Martens said she and the library board understands taxpayers’ pain, and that the decision to pursue a new facility did not come lightly, and only after years of trying to pursue other, less expensive fixes.

“I believe a public library provides some of the value that we have in our community. If we don’t do something about our public library, it will continue to degrade and not be the value we want it to be. It adds to our property values, and it adds to our quality of life,” Martens said.

• Tuesday, July 26, 2016

at the highest rate of all 50, the question, as well as any decision by the City Council, will be a hard sell.

Library board members want to build a new, 75,000-square-foot library at the site, which would nearly double the size of the existing 40,000-squarefoot facility. The wording of the referendum states that building and equipping the new library would increase property taxes an average of $132 a year for the owner of a home assessed at $200,000.

The library first moved to its current site in 1952, after 40 years of hopping around from a private home to the high school to the city heating plant, according to historical records. Voters approved spending the money in 1965 to demolish the old building and construct the current facility. The original part of the current library was built on the old one’s foundation – the soils underneath are unstable and the library cannot store books in that part because of the added weight.

Two subsequent expansions in 1986 and 1995 brought the library to its current size, but studies after that second expansion began to conclude that a new facility in the wake of ongoing growth would be the most logical next step. Voters in 2004 rejected an advisory referendum to build a new library, prompting the library to renovate in a short-term fix they dubbed “Project Shoehorn.”

But the library board said it has done all it can with the building – a list of needed repairs that would do nothing to address the building’s underlying problems totals $9.1 million, Martens said.

The library board earlier this year convened a community group, called Future of Crystal Lake Library Under Study, to weigh the options of repairing it, expanding it again, or replacing it. After four meetings from March through June, the group overwhelmingly recommended replacement.

Supporters and opponents who are reaching out to the Northwest Herald are lining up along traditional lines.

Backers say the cost is minimal for a much-needed project that would reap large benefits to the community. Opponents say they can’t afford any more

“The public library is an integral part of the educational fabric of the community, and this building does not allow us to provide a 21st-century public library.”

Marni Nixon, voice of classic movie songs, has died at 86

By MARK KENNEDY The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Hollywood voice double Marni Nixon, whose singing was heard in place of the leading actresses in such classic movie musicals as “West Side Story,” “The King and I” and “My Fair Lady,” has died. She was 86.

Michael Kirsten, senior vice president of Nixon’s talent agency, Harden-Curtis Associates, said she died Sunday of cancer in New York. “She passed away peacefully with her family at her side,” he said.

Nixon, who was initially uncredited for her work, early on resented the dubbing work but later came to terms with it. “I realized now that this was something that would outlive me. Something that would last,” she wrote in her 2006 memoir, “I Could Have Sung All Night.”

In the heyday of the Hollywood musical, studios often paid big money for film rights to hit Broadway shows, then cast them with popular non-singing actors and actresses.

Such was the case with the 1956 hit “The King and I,” in which filmmak-

ers dubbed Deborah Kerr’s voice with Nixon’s.

“I was brought in and had to follow along with her, getting her diction and acting style,” Nixon recalled in 2004.

“She in turn would study how I looked when I hit the high notes.”

Nixon did the same for Natalie Wood in 1961’s “West Side Story” and Audrey Hepburn in 1964’s “My Fair Lady,” which had starred Julie Andrews onstage. Earlier, she added a few notes to Marilyn Monroe’s “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend,” from “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.” She went uncredited in the films and on their soundtrack albums and was warned by the filmmakers that if she ever let it be known she was doing the singing, “they would run me out of town.”

Word began to leak out, however, and Kerr herself blew Nixon’s cover when she praised her work on “The King and I.” By the late 1960s, The Hollywood Reporter was joking that “they found out who was doing (talking horse) Mr. Ed’s voice on the television show; it was Marni Nixon’s horse.”

Nixon also appeared before the cam-

eras in 1965, in a small role as a nun in “The Sound of Music,” and provided the singing voice of Grandmother Fa in the 1998 animated film “Mulan.’”

As the era of big movie musicals dried up, though, so did Nixon’s film career. But she kept busy with other work, including starring in her own children’s TV show, singing opera, soloing with symphony orchestras, appearing in a road tour of “Cabaret” and teaching at the California Institute of the Arts.

In her later years, she also was popular at nostalgia festivals, where she told audiences, “I allowed all these actresses to dub their bodies to my voice.”

She landed her role in “West Side Story” after Wood’s voice proved inadequate for the challenging Leonard Bernstein score. She prepared for it by studying Wood singing the role of Maria before the cameras – and had to then face the exacting task of getting her singing to match Wood’s lip movements.

Hepburn, who had memorably sung “Moon River” in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” had campaigned to do her own singing as Eliza Doolittle in “My Fair Lady.”

She was able to handle the film’s early cockney-accented songs such as “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly,” but Nixon – again carefully matching Hepburn’s vocal style – had to be called in for such soaring melodies as “I Could Have Danced All Night.”

Both Wood and Hepburn, Nixon wrote, worked hard to learn the songs, and their singing was recorded in hopes that Nixon’s voice would be needed only to fill in on difficult passages. But that was not to be.

“I heard later that Natalie Wood was very upset and felt betrayed by the powers that be,” Nixon wrote. As for Hepburn, “determined as she was, her vocals were not used.”

Nixon recalled that after getting no royalties from the big-selling “The King and I” soundtrack album, she and her manager fought for better treatment for “West Side Story.”

After some haggling, she wrote, Bernstein made the “incredibly generous gesture” of giving up a sliver of his royalty share. It amounted to a major payday for her, given the album’s huge sales.

The Rev. Tim LaHaye, co-author of the “Left Behind” series, a multimillion-selling literary juggernaut that brought end-times prophecy into mainstream bookstores, died Monday. He was 90.

LaHaye died in a San Diego, California, hospital, days after having suffered a stroke, his publicist Johnnie Moore said.

Co-authored with Jerry B. Jenkins, the 16-volume “Left Behind” series of novels published by Tyndale House Publishers sold more than 80 million copies worldwide, Moore said, and popularized a Bible interpretation that said born-again Christians will be instantly taken to God in the Rapture, while those left behind on earth endure seven years of tribulation.

LaHaye was a key figure in conservative political groups, encouraging the Rev. Jerry Falwell to create the Moral Majority, forming the Council for National Policy, a secretive strategy group for prominent political and religious conservatives, and, along with his wife, Beverly, starting Concerned Women for America in 1979, as an alternative to liberal feminist organizations.

He was also a prolific nonfiction writer, writing more than 60 addition-

inary in Portland, Oregon, and joined the Southern Baptist Convention.

After leading churches in South Carolina and Minnesota, he moved to Southern California, and for a quarter-century led a thriving congregation that eventually became Shadow Mountain Community Church. After 1981, he devoted himself to writing, promoting his view of Bible prophecy, family life seminars and political activism.

Some fellow conservative Christians pushed back against LaHaye’s endtimes views, known as premillennial dispensationalism, emphasizing that the books were fictional and should not be read as an exact theological interpretation of the Bible. Still, his books strongly shaped evangelical views of Jesus’ Second Coming and popularized the ideas to the broader public. Jenkins called LaHaye a “spiritual giant.”

LaHaye extended his influence by founding Christian high schools, San Diego Christian College, known formerly as Christian Heritage College, and a church in the Atlanta area, along with helping establish the Institute for Creation Research, which rejects evolution and contends God created the Earth recently in six literal days.

In 1987, LaHaye resigned as a co-chairman of Jack Kemp’s Republican presidential campaign after news reports cited his criticisms of Roman Catholicism and Judaism.

STATE

High-profile GOP lawmaker suddenly resigns

By JOHN O’CONNOR and SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – High-profile Republican Ron Sandack has resigned from the Illinois House after saying he faced unspecified “cyber-security issues.”

Sandack, the vocal floor leader for the GOP minority in the House, would not comment beyond a statement Sunday that his resignation was effective immediately.

“It has been a tremendous honor and privilege to serve the people of the 81st District for the past four years in Springfield,” Sandack said in a statement issued by the Republican leader’s office. “But after some cyber-security issues arose, I began to re-evaluate my continued public service.”

The lawmaker from Downers Grove, 20 miles west of Chicago, did not return phone or text messages from The Associated Press on Monday.

Sandack, who as floor leader was the face of the House Republicans during an ongoing political feud over a state budget that began 18 months ago, was a voracious user of social media such as Facebook and Twitter. But accounts on both had been removed Monday.

Illinois state Rep. Ron Sandack, R-Downers Grove, speaks to reporters June 30 at the state Capitol in Springfield. In a statement Sunday, Sandack said he’s resigning from the Illinois House, citing “cyber-security issues.” “sandackrond95b,” which identified the user as an Illinois state representative, remained, but had no posts and no followers.

After serving as Downers Grove mayor, Sandack was appointed to the

Illinois delegates agree with DNC chairwoman resignation

CHICAGO – Illinois delegates agree with Democratic chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s decision to resign from the leadership post after the Democratic National Convention.

The Florida congresswoman is stepping down as chairwoman following hacked emails suggesting the DNC favored Hillary Clinton in the presidential primaries against Bernie Sanders.

Illinois House Deputy Majority Leader Lou Lang is a Clinton delegate. He said the emails are dramatic, but they’ll be a “small glitch” in the end. He called resigning a “wise decision.”

Chicago Alderman Carlos Ramirez-Rosa is a Sanders delegate. He said the resignation was “the correct step,” though it should’ve occurred earlier.

Both delegates believe the party can be unified. Lang said it’s important for Sanders to reiterate Clinton support.

Ramirez-Rosa said he’ll vote for Clinton, but she needs to reinforce opposition to

opponent. He was the GOP’s representative on the nationally televised “The Daily Show” in June when the program examined the impact of the budget meltdown.

“You take a lot of hits in this job,” Palatine Republican Sen. Matt Murphy said. “Was this the final straw? I guess in this case, it was.”

In Sunday’s statement, Sandack, a partner in a Chicago law firm, said his decision was also driven by missed time with his family, a factor Minority Leader Jim Durkin of Western Springs said was mentioned when the two spoke Sunday.

“He stated that his decision to resign was personal and for the benefit of his family,” Durkin said by text message to the AP. “I respect Ron’s decision and will miss him as a colleague and friend.”

Republican leaders have 30 days to name a replacement for Sandack’s seat.

He was up for re-election in November against Democratic attorney Greg Hose, a Downers Grove Village Council member. The incumbent had more than three times the campaign cash on hand as did Hose. According to Illinois State Board of Elections records, Sandack had $128,000 in the bank as of June 30, compared with $34,000 for Hose, who said he was surprised by the announcement.

Illinois governor renews call for term limits

CHICAGO – Gov. Bruce Rauner is renewing his call for term limits and said the General Assembly should vote on the idea in the fall.

Rauner delivered a campaign-style speech Monday in Chicago. Relying on a teleprompter, he spoke for less than 10 minutes and wouldn’t take reporters’ questions.

The first-term Republican said Illinois politics needs new ideas and faces. He said he’ll be pushing term limits during a two-day state tour.

Rauner backed term limits in his 2014 gubernatorial campaign, but a judge found a signature-driven ballot question was unconstitutional. The same judge also threw out a measure proposing changes to how the state draws its political boundaries A revamped redistricting measure is pending review by the Illinois Supreme Court after a Cook County judge found it unconstitutional for November’s ballot.

Former Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., takes the stage Monday during the first day of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

After turmoil, Sanders, Michelle Obama, Warren thrill convention

By JULIE PACE and KEN THOMAS The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA – Ending months of animosity, Bernie Sanders robustly embraced his former rival Hillary Clinton Monday night as a champion for the same economic causes that enlivened his supporters, signaling it was time for them, too, to rally behind the Democratic nominee in the campaign against Republican Donald Trump.

“Any objective observer will conclude that – based on her ideas and her leadership – Hillary Clinton must become the next president of the United States,” he declared in a headlining address on the opening night of the Democratic convention.

President Bill Clinton, watching from the audience, leapt to his feet and applauded, as did most of the delegates filling the convention arena.

Sanders joined a high-wattage lineup of speakers, including first lady Michelle Obama who delivered a forceful, impassioned defense of the Democratic nominee. Mrs. Obama’s address all but wiped away earlier tumult in the convention hall that had exposed lingering tensions between Clinton and Sanders supporters.

“I want someone with the proven strength to persevere, someone who knows this job and takes it seriously, someone who understands the issues a president faces are not black and white,” Mrs. Obama said. Referring to Trump’s penchant for tweeting, she said of the presiden-

cy: “It cannot be boiled down to 140 characters.”

While Sanders had endorsed Clinton previously, his remarks Monday marked his most vigorous and detailed praise of her qualifications for the presidency. It came at a crucial moment for Clinton’s campaign, on the heels of leaked emails suggesting the party had favored the former secretary of state through the primaries despite a vow of neutrality.

Sanders scored the resignation of party chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a nemesis in the primaries, but that wasn’t enough to quell the anger of supporters. As the convention opened, they still erupted in chants of “Bernie” and booed Clinton the first several times her name was mentioned. Outside the convention hall, several hundred marched down Philadelphia’s sweltering streets with signs carrying messages such as “Never Hillary.”

By the time Sanders took the stage for the night’s closing address, much of the anger had been overshadowed by speeches promoting party unity. Sanders did his part, imploring his supporters to consider a country under Trump’s leadership.

Sanders spoke just after Massachusetts.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a favorite of liberals who has emerged as one of the Democrats’ toughest critics of Trump.

“Donald Trump has no real plans for jobs, for college kids, for seniors,” she said in the keynote address. “No plans to make anything great for anyone except rich guys like Donald Trump.”

Mom of slain teen warned son of nightclub shootings 2 killed, 17 injured in violence at teen party at Florida club

By TERRY SPENCER and KELLI KENNEDY The Associated Press

FORT MYERS, Fla. – With the Orlando massacre still fresh on everyone’s mind, the mother of a young man who was slain at a nightclub early Monday had warned her son about what to do if there were a shooting: “hit the floor, find a table.”

But when gunfire erupted at the Club Blu parking lot, 18-year-old Stef’an Strawder didn’t have anywhere to hide. He was killed along with a 14-year-old boy, and 17 other people ranging in age from 12 to 27 were wounded during a swimsuit-themed party for teens.

“I told him to look for all the exits if any kind of shooting would go off, to hit the floor, find a table and get out of the way ... because I thought about the people in Orlando. That was a big thing,” Strawder’s mother, Stephanie White, told The Associated Press.

Since the shooting happened in the parking lot, “He didn’t have that chance,” she said.

Florida is again reeling from a mass shooting at a nightclub, but instead of being committed by an extremist spouting Islamist ideology, this rampage might have started with an argument over a rap performance. Police have not yet released a motive.

The shooting at a venue tucked in a strip mall also left 14-year-old Sean Archilles dead, and a state and its governor grappling with another tragedy.

The massacre at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub last month killed 49 and wounded dozens of others.

He said gun laws are not to blame.

“The Second Amendment has never shot anybody. The evil did this.”

Fort Myers interim Police Chief Dennis Eads said the shooting was not an act of terror. Police detained three people and were searching for others, he added. He declined to give a motive for the shooting or discuss details, saying the investigation is ongoing. Hours

after the shooting, police had marked more than two dozen shell casings in the parking lot outside the club.

The shooting happened about 12:30 a.m. Monday, just as the club was closing and parents were picking up their children.

Security guard Brandy Mclaughlin, who was hired for the event, said she saw someone with a semi-automatic rifle open fire, with the attack sounding like “firecrackers.” Her car was hit in the spray of bullets.

“The rapper was upset, someone not being able to perform,” she said.

“It wasn’t targeted, terrorist or gays, or anything like that. It wasn’t a black or white situation. It was an idiot. An idiot with a firearm.”

BRIEF

Monitor chosen to oversee Ferguson’s police, court reforms

ST. LOUIS – A federal judge Monday chose a monitor team to oversee reforms of Ferguson’s policing and court system, a process expected to cost the St. Louis suburb more than $1 million.

U.S. District Judge Catherine Perry announced that Squire Patton Boggs, a law firm based in Cleveland, was picked from four finalists to make sure reforms are adequate in Ferguson. City officials said the cost of the monitoring will not exceed $1.25 million over five years, or $350,000 for any single year.

The team will be led by Clark Ervin, who was inspector general for the U.S. State Department and Homeland Security before becoming a partner at Squire Patton Boggs.

“We are honored to take on this important assignment at such a critical time in our nation,” Ervin said in a statement.

A consent decree between the city and the U.S. Department of Justice, approved by Perry in April, calls for diversity training for police, outfitting officers and jail workers with body cameras, and other reforms.

“I’m excited that both the city of Ferguson and the Department of Justice have worked together to complete the process of choosing an Independent Monitor,” Ferguson City Manager De’Carlon Seewood said in a statement.

Ferguson’s justice system came under scrutiny after the fatal 2014 police shooting of Michael Brown, a black, unarmed 18-year-old. A county grand jury and the Department of Justice cleared Darren Wilson, the white Ferguson officer who killed Brown. But the Justice Department found patterns of racial bias in Ferguson’s policing and a municipal court system that generated revenue largely from poor and minority residents.

BRIEF Turkey issues warrants for 42 journalists amid criticism

ANKARA, Turkey – Turkey on Monday issued warrants for the detention of 42 journalists suspected of links to the alleged organizers of a failed military uprising, intensifying concerns that a sweeping crackdown on alleged coup plotters could target media for any news coverage critical of the government.

While the Turkish government said it is investigating the journalists for possible criminal conduct rather than their report-

ing, critics warned that a state of emergency imposed after the July 15 coup attempt poses a threat to freedom of expression.

“We fear there will be a witch hunt which would include journalists known as ‘critical’ against the government. Because they are putting all journalists into one bag,” said Ahmet Abakay, president of the Progressive Journalists’ Association, a media group based in the Turkish capital Ankara. He said the situation was “very dangerous for every journalist” and that government warnings to reporters to be careful would lead to self-censorship.

ANSBACH, Germany – A Syrian man who tried unsuccessfully to claim asylum in Germany pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group and vowed the nation’s people “won’t be able to sleep peacefully anymore” in a cellphone video before blowing himself up outside a wine bar, wounding 15 people, authorities said Monday.

The assailant set off a backpack laden with explosives and shrapnel Sunday night after being refused entry to a crowded music festival in the Bavarian city of Ansbach because he didn’t have a ticket.

It was the fourth attack to shake Germany in a week, and the second claimed by the Islamic State group. Three of the attacks were carried out by recent immigrants, rekindling concerns about Germany’s ability to cope with the estimated 1 million migrants registered entering the country last year, an influx that has since dwindled as the flow of newcomers slowed.

Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said a laptop with extremist videos was found at the apartment of the suspect, a 27-year-old Syrian identified only as Mohammad D in line with German privacy laws. A video on his cellphone showed him declaring loyalty to the Islamic State group and announcing a “revenge act against Germans because they are standing in the way of Islam.”

The suspect also declared Germans “won’t be able to sleep peacefully anymore,” Herrmann said. “I think after this video there’s no doubt that the attack was a terror attack with an Islamist motivation.”

In its claim of responsibility, the extremist group said the attack was carried out by “one of the soldiers of the Islamic State.”

The IS-linked Aamaq news agen-

cy said the attacker acted in response to the extremist group’s call to target countries of the U.S.-led coalition fighting it in Iraq and Syria. Germany is not involved in combat operations but has contributed reconnaissance aircraft to the effort.

After the IS connection surfaced, federal prosecutors in Karlsruhe, who investigate all suspected terrorism, took over the case saying they would seek to “determine if thus-far unknown accomplices or backers were involved in the crime.”

The suspect came to Germany two years ago and applied for asylum in August 2014, Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said. It turned out that he had already registered in Bulgaria and later in Austria, so Germany rejected his request and ordered him deported to Bulgaria – most recently July 13.

Asylum-seekers are routinely deported to the first country where they registered if they don’t follow proper procedures, even if they’re considered to have a legitimate asylum claim.

De Maiziere said the man had attempted to take his own life twice before in Germany, and had been in psychiatric care.

Sunday’s attack culminated a week of violent assaults. On July 18, a 17-yearold Afghan asylum-seeker wounded five people with an ax before being killed by police near the Bavarian city of Wuerzburg in an attack that was also claimed by the Islamic State group.

On Friday, the 18-year-old son of Iranian immigrants went on a rampage at a Munich mall, killing nine people and wounding dozens. Authorities said he was undergoing psychiatric treatment and had no known links to terrorism.

And on Sunday, hours before the Ansbach attack, a Syrian man killed a woman with a knife in the southwestern city of Reutlingen before being captured by police in an incident authorities said was not believed linked to terrorism.

OUR VIEW

High school exam won’t be missed Students being giddy about not having to take a test?

We fully understand the feeling.

Educators being giddy about not having to administer a test?

That’s a fairly new one for us.

But that was the general feeling among school administrators upon hearing the news For the record last week the Illinois State Board of EducaEducators decried the PARCC tion had dropped the exam as having minimal value unpopular PARCC for high school students. exam for high schoolers.

PARCC, which stands for Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, was described as a “nightmare to administer” that had no bearing on college entrance.

High schoolers therefore were less likely to take the testing process seriously, and it showed.

The first round of PARCC test results, released in December an astounding half year after the exams were administered, showed only one-third of students statewide met or exceeded expectations, while two-thirds didn’t.

Ouch!

Educators decried the exam as having minimal value for high school students.

Grade-schoolers still will take the PARCC, but high-schoolers will take the SAT exam, as decreed by the State Board of Education.

The SAT exam has been around for a long time.

Students will be able to send their scores to college admissions offices, so they will be much more motivated to do their best.

That’s good.

We still believe the goal of the PARCC exam – to satisfactorily assess career and college preparedness – is laudable.

However, the test’s inaugural year – especially the 191-day gap before scores were available – left much to be desired.

We’re reminded of the story about the stressedout baseball manager who, tired of his inept team’s losing ways, was asked what he thought about his team’s execution. “I’m in favor of it,” he replied.

Illinois educators, frustrated with PARCC, applaud its “execution” – the high school version, at least – and look forward to better results through the SAT. We hope they’re right.

ANOTHER VIEW

Violent crime actually trending down In Donald Trump’s dark view of America, violence and crime are rampant.

“Decades of progress made in bringing down crime are now being reversed by this administration’s rollback of criminal enforcement,” Trump declared Thursday night on stage at the GOP convention in Cleveland, where he accepted the Republican Party’s nomination for president.

“Homicides last year increased by 17 percent in America’s 50 largest cities. That’s the largest increase in 25 years. In our nation’s capital, killings have risen by 50 percent. They are up nearly 60 percent in nearby Baltimore.”

Murders in some cities, including Milwaukee and Chicago, recently have increased.

That’s correct.

But the very criminologist who crunched the numbers Trump cited Thursday night

rejected his conclusion that the nation is awash in violence.

That’s “way off base,” said Richard Rosenfeld, a University of Missouri criminology professor who wrote the U.S. Justice Department paper containing the figures.

“Even with the homicide increase in large cities last year, the country is still experiencing violent crime rates that are far lower than they were 20 years ago,” Rosenfeld told Tribune News Service on Friday.

Crime actually is lower under the current president than it has been under his predecessors going back to and including Ronald Reagan. (Not that presidents are on the front lines of local law enforcement decisions. That’s the job of mayors and police chiefs.)

Recent mass shootings, including of police officers, in America and around the world are scary. Presidents are

supposed to protect us from terrorism.

But Trump’s diatribes and lack of policy prescriptions aren’t reassuring. Never one for subtlety, Trump said Obama has overseen a “domestic disaster,” including “violence in our streets and chaos in our communities.” Trump claimed his Democratic opponent for president, Hillary Clinton, is proposing “mass lawlessness.”

Trump’s simple solution is to elect him in November, magically restoring safety. Just don’t ask him what he actually would do.

“Nobody knows the system better than me,” the real estate developer and television star said Thursday, “which is why I alone can fix it.”

Americans shouldn’t fall for the brash billionaire’s trumped-up rhetoric and accusations.

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.

Prevailing wage laws crippling

To the Editor: Chicago-style policies will be injected into McHenry County despite Jack Franks being quoted in the Northwest Herald saying, “I can promise I’m not running for county chairman.”

Franks’ true allegiance to Mike Madigan and the Chicago political machine became apparent just three days after his Democrat slating for County Board chairman when on May 15 he had an opportunity to vote “nay” to SB 2964 to save county taxpayers millions of dollars.

Instead, Franks was a veto-proof majority vote in the House in favor of eliminating the voice of local government in determining wage rates.

Although the County Board vote was symbolic in nature, Republican candidate for County Board chairman Michael Walkup recently voted against prevailing wage.

The reform candidate for the 66th District, Allen Skillicorn, also is against prevailing wage laws. The Republican candidate for the 63rd District, Steve Reick, also believes prevailing wage laws

VIEWS Rich Miller Party of Illinois reported spending just 99 cents on state campaign activities during the recently concluded second quarter (the expenditure was not itemized). And while Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan reported spending $283,000 out of his personal campaign fund, his largest reported expenditure by far this past quarter was for IRS payments.

The tables most definitely have turned.

The House Republicans have flooded the airwaves of southern Illinois with massive advertising buys targeting three Democrats: Reps. John Bradley and Brandon Phelps and Sen. Gary Forby. It’s also running cable and network TV ads against several other Democrats. Only recently have some Democrats responded with their own ads.

A new TV ad against Sen. Forby, officially paid for by the House Republican Organization even though Forby is a senator, blasts the incumbent Democrat for being in Madigan’s pocket. It’s way over the top because Forby isn’t really a “Madigan Democrat,” but that’s beside the point. Madigan

cripple local government.

“Unless local governments are allowed to climb out from under the burden of wage scales imposed from afar, they’ll never be able to provide true property tax relief,” Reick states on his website, www. steve463.com.

Readers know Franks is against McHenry County taxpayers when it comes to prevailing wage laws. Voters need to know the positions of Democrat candidates John Bartman and Nancy Zettler as well. Prevailing wage laws cripple Illinois’ economy and are an undue burden on taxpayers.

A race like no other

To the Editor: Did you know the Crystal Lake Park District has been a host for a race called the RUNdezvous Race – a series of challenges at Lippold Park based on survival skills?

Strategy and thought-provoking challenges are designed to push your mind and body over a 4-mile series of loops for individuals who are 14 years old and

is hugely unpopular, so that’s just the way it goes.

“For decades,” the ad begins, “Mike Madigan has had an iron grip on Springfield and our own state Senator Gary Forby. Forby has helped Madigan drive Illinois into the ditch, raising our taxes while shortchanging our schools. Fourteen times, Forby’s backed Madigan’s phony budgets – $13 billion in deficit spending, to double the income tax and expand the sales tax. Forby rubber-stamped Madigan’s bailout for Chicago Public Schools.

Gary Forby – Mike Madigan’s senator, not ours.”

Forby has withstood millions of dollars in attacks since he first ran for the Illinois House in 2000, defeating a Republican opponent at the time by less than three points. His victory margins steadily have grown over the years, but this is the first time the 71-year-old Benton incumbent has faced this sort of massive paid opposition this early.

And it’s not just TV. A recent direct mailer sent by the Illinois Republican Party has a photoshopped image of Madigan sitting at a restaurant table while Rep. Mike Smiddy (D-Hillside) stands behind him dressed as a bowtied waiter in a fancy restaurant with a cloth napkin draped over one arm.

“Doubletalking Mike Smiddy Serving Mike Madigan Since 2013,” the front page blares. Smiddy first was elected

without Madigan’s help and is not considered a “minion.” But, again, Madigan is intensely disliked. And you go with what works in campaigns.

“State Rep. Mike Smiddy Says He’s For Us... But Goes To Springfield And Does Madigan’s Bidding,” is the headline on the flip side. “Mike Smiddy serving Mike Madigan is costing our families,” the mailer declares. “Watch what Smiddy does in Springfield, not what he says in the Quad Cities.”

Will this focus on Madigan and Madigan alone work? It hasn’t in the past, but the governor’s people obviously believe it will or they wouldn’t be putting so many resources into this theme. They’ve picked a message, and they’re repeating it endlessly everywhere. In past years, the anti-Madigan messaging didn’t have nearly the money or the intensity behind it, and Madigan’s approval poll numbers have fallen from horrible to horrific in the meantime.

The Democrats will use a very unpopular Rauner against Republicans, and they are expecting to benefit from their usual turnout bump during a presidential year. They also have a very impressive organization.

We’ll all find out in November who’s right.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Illinois House Republican Organization’s largest reported campaign expenditure was a $12,612 payment to the Internal Revenue Service. Indeed, six of HRO’s 10 largest expenditures that quarter were for IRS payments, most likely quarterly withholding.

But four years later, the HRO’s spending focus is solidly on the campaign. The House Republicans’ top reported expenditure this past quarter was $173,000 for polling. And five of its top 10 expenditures were listed as advertising buys.

All told, the House Republican Organization spent nearly $1.8 million during the second quarter of this year, which ended June 30, on a campaign that’s already in full swing – on one side at least.

Almost all of the money raised by HRO came from the Illinois Republican Party, and that money mostly came from Gov. Bruce Rauner.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Illinois Republican Party reported spending just $4,130.63 on all expenses.

This past quarter, however, the state GOP spent well over $2.7 million, with the bulk of that ($2 million) going to the House Republican Organization. The state party received an unprecedented $5 million check from Gov. Rauner’s campaign earlier in the quarter.

Verizon buys Yahoo for $4.8B

By MICHAEL LIEDTKE and TALI ARBEL The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO – Seeking a wider digital audience, Verizon is buying Yahoo for $4.83 billion in a deal that marks the end of an era for a company that defined much of the early internet but struggled to stay relevant in an online world dominated by Google and Facebook.

It’s the second time in as many years that Verizon has snapped up the remnants of a fallen internet star. The nation’s largest wireless carrier paid $4.4 billion for AOL last year. The two brands will be rolled into the same operation.

“We have enormous respect for what Yahoo has accomplished: This transaction is about unleashing Yahoo’s full potential,” AOL CEO Tim Armstrong said in a statement.

Despite Yahoo’s travails, its operations are a prize for Verizon, which wants to capitalize on the growing number of people living their digital lives on smartphones. The company already profits from the data plans that connect more than 100 million people and their devices to the internet. Now it’s making plans to control more of the advertising on those devices.

Most analysts expect the deal to end the four-year reign of Yahoo’s Mayer, who flopped in her much-watched attempt to turn around the company that was once a titan valued at $130 billion.

However, Mayer told employees

Verizon is buying Yahoo for $4.83 billion, marking the end of an era for a company that once defined the internet. It is the second time in as many years that Verizon has snapped up the remnants of a fallen internet star as it broadens its digital reach.

Monday in an email that she intends to stay “to see Yahoo into its next chapter” without specifying for how long. In a later interview with The Associated Press, she said it’s too early to know whether there will still be a desirable role for her after Yahoo and AOL are combined.

“It would be premature and presumptive of me to discuss what Verizon may or may not want to do. I will be open-minded,” said Mayer, who could receive a severance package valued at $55 million if she leaves after the sale.

In its announcement, Verizon did

not discuss Mayer’s future or its longterm plans for Yahoo.

Shareholders fed up with a steep downturn in the company’s revenue over the past eight years pressured Yahoo Inc. to part with its email service and still-popular websites devoted to news, finance and sports, in addition to its advertising tools.

The slump deepened even as advertisers poured torrents of cash into what is now a $160 billion market for digital advertising, according to research firm eMarketer.

But most of that money has flowed to Google and Facebook, two companies that eclipsed Yahoo during its long slide from a sensation to a dysfunctional also-ran.

The sale could result in thousands of layoffs as Verizon eliminates overlapping jobs and services in Yahoo and AOL. Mayer has already jettisoned 1,900 Yahoo workers since last September.

The merging of Yahoo’s online operations with AOL’s sets up a potential reunion between Mayer and Armstrong, who were both executives at Google for years. Armstrong tried unsuccessfully to persuade Mayer to combine the two companies when they both were still independent.

“It makes a little less sense now than it did two or three years ago” when Yahoo and AOL were stronger,” said Gartner analyst Andrew Frank. “But better late than never.”

When the sale is complete early next year, Yahoo will become a holding company for its two stakes in China’s e-commerce leader, Alibaba Group, and Yahoo Japan. Those investments, made more than a decade ago, are worth more than $40 billion before taxes, making them by far the most valuable pieces of Yahoo. The holding company will drop the Yahoo name and adopt a new identify after Verizon takes control.

The name change is a strong indication that Verizon intends to retain the Yahoo brand on many services, an idea that Mayer said came up in the preliminary discussions leading up to the deal.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT TUESDAY, JULY 26, 2016

LONDON – Britain’s Prince Harry has said he wishes he had spoken sooner about the death of his mother, Princess Diana.

Harry, who was 12 when Diana died in a car crash in 1997, said in video released Monday that it isn’t a sign of weakness to speak about problems. Harry was speaking with a group of high-profile sports stars attending a July 14 barbecue arranged by the mental health charity Heads Together.

“It’s OK to suffer, as long as you talk about it,” he said.

“It’s not a weakness. Weakness is having a problem and not recognizing it and not solving that problem.”

Derrik Lang (left) and Marc Summers attend the “Double Dare Live Streaming Event” on Friday at Fluxx in San Diego.

‘Double Dare’ revived at rowdy and messy Comic-Con event SAN DIEGO – For one night only, Marc Summers returned to the podium to host “Double Dare.”

The kids’ game show was celebrated Friday night during a raucous invite-only Comic-Con event that revived the super sloppy Nickelodeon series to commemorate its 30th anniversary.

“The fans of this show are so passionate, it seemed like the best way to honor that passion was to bring it back,” Summers said. “What better place to do that than at Comic-Con?” The messy affair, which was streamed live on Facebook, featured adult fans – including this reporter – and cast members from the Nickelodeon kids’ sketch series “All That” serving as contestants. The red and blue teams answered trivia questions, competed in physical challenges and took on an obstacle course.

“It feels like no time has passed and my maturity level remains the same,” “All That” cast member Lori Beth Denberg said.

The truncated final course featured four of the show’s signature stunts, including a massive human hamster wheel, a whip cream-covered slide and a giant, snot-filed nose.

The event looked like a typical episode of “Double Dare,” which originally ran from 1986 to 1993, but it was certainly an adults-only affair. The party’s attendees sipped free-flowing booze from an open bar, and Summers and Denberg exchanged some cheeky sexual innuendo on the obstacle course.

“That was the stuff you never heard on Nick,” Summers joked.

The celebration marked Summers’ first time hosting “Double Dare” in 16 years. While the game show is no longer produced, reruns frequently air as part of a 1990s-themed programming block known as “The Splat” on TeenNick.

CAMERA

EVOLUTION To shoot 360 photos and videos, ditch all you know about photography

By ANICK JESDANUN – The Associated Press

A

s cameras that shoot 360-degree photos and videos become affordable, curious users will face a new challenge: Figuring out how to take meaningful and compelling shots in what’s effectively a new medium. With 360, it’s tough to stay out of the shot, as there’s no hiding behind the lens. And old video habits – like following subjects as they move – will die hard. Whoever holds the camera no longer controls the field of vision. With 360, viewers do that in virtual-reality headsets, phones or computers.

Some phone apps can create 360-degree photos by stitching together images, similar to a panoramic shot, but a 360-degree camera is required for video. Ricoh’s 360-degree Theta S camera sells for $350, and LG’s 360 Cam costs $200. Samsung also is coming out with one this year.

Diving into 360 video means ditching traditional techniques that work well with smartphones and other cameras; doing otherwise means lots of dull 360 photos and videos. This is a new way of capturing the physical world, and it’s as distinct from normal photography as television was from radio. It takes trial and error to create immersive clips that will make viewers feel as though they are there.

Videos become selfies

360-degree cameras work by stitching together images from two or more lenses. It’s hard to stay out of the shot, even with the camera turned sideways, because the ultra-wide lenses are designed to capture everything, from top to bottom.

It’s possible to minimize unintended selfies by holding the camera well overhead, although any viewer who looks down during playback will see a hand. A tripod helps – as long as strangers don’t run off with the camera.

There may be times the shooter wants to be part of the shot. A 360-degree camera works well then. It can capture the shooter’s reaction as a kid lodges water balloons . Roller coaster videos also are popular for seeing – not just hearing – riders screaming.

Forget framing, avoid panning

This image provided by Ricoh Imaging shows Ricoh’s 360-degree Theta S camera.

With ordinary video, people are conditioned to move the camera to follow the subject.

Do this in 360, and it’ll make viewers dizzy. Folks watching the video will be moving their heads when using a virtual-reality headset or moving the phone with an app like YouTube.

While shooting, it’s OK to walk forward or backward slowly if necessary – just avoid panning to the left or right.

Be judicious

Sometimes, a traditional camera works better. At Vatican City, for instance, St. Peter’s Basilica is the highlight, not the buildings to the side or the cars in the back.

With 360, that boring stuff stays in the

shot. (Panning the 360 camera in such a shot commits a double sin.)

Instead, reserve 360 for situations that call for that full perspective. It could give prospective home buyers a better sense of each room, for instance. Or with a shot of Rome’s Pantheon, viewers can look up to see the dome that inspired Michelangelo and other artists.

Editing options are limited

An app built for Theta cameras offers Instagram-like filters and allows trims to the beginning and end of videos. But there’s no cropping to enlarge the subject or straighten the horizon, as some apps offer with traditional video or photos. The shooter needs to get it right on location, something that’s tough to do because these cameras lack viewfinders. A smartphone app can act as a virtual viewfinder, but that’s cumbersome, too; no one wants to see the shooter fiddling with a phone in the shot.

Although some apps offer zooming while watching, the camera itself doesn’t offer this capability. The Statue of Liberty feels tiny when captured from a nearby ferry. Videos work best when what’s being captured is close, such as the feeling of being part of a crowd. Otherwise, stick with a regular camera with a good zoom lens.

Missed opportunities

A tool is good only if it gets used. Sit near the stage at an outdoor philharmonic concert in New York, and a 360-degree camera would show off how close it was to the stage, with the rest of the audience in the back. Pull out a regular camera instead, and it’s just a missed opportunity to brag. It takes practice to figure out not just how to take good images, but when.

Location also matters. For a play, a shot from the audience isn’t as satisfying as one from the stage with the performers – though getting permission to shoot that way could take some arranging.

By ABBY OHLHEISER The Washington Post

he shared faked screenshots that made it appear as if Jones were making profane and offensive postings.

Twitter didn’t say exactly why it banned Yiannopoulos, only telling the Breitbart writer he was permanently banned for a violation of their rules “prohibiting participating in or inciting targeted abuse of individuals.”

Yiannopoulos called the suspension “cowardly.”

The Yiannopoulos ban was part of Twitter’s response to the abuse targeting Jones, Twitter said in a statement Tuesday. The company said it was “continuing to invest heavily in improving our tools and enforcement systems to better allow us to identify and take faster action on abuse as it’s happening and prevent repeat offenders,” and promised changes to its reporting system and harassment policies in the “coming weeks.”

Twitter’s ban hammer fell this time when many eyes were watching for Twitter’s response. The media gave significant coverage to the onslaught of racism Jones was enduring, and a chorus of celebrities implored Twitter to take decisive action.

Jillian York, a co-founder of OnlineCensorship.org, said all that atten-

tion likely played a role in how Twitter handled this particular instance of mass abuse. “The real issue here is scrutiny,” York told the Intersect.

Yiannopoulos was subject to several warnings from the social network over the course of his Twitter career and had lost his blue verification checkmark in January for violating Twitter’s rules. If he tries to return to Twitter, the site likely will notice and take action to remove him again, quickly.

The question becomes whether it’s even possible for Twitter to give the same scrutiny to the mob of regular accounts that harassed Jones.

OnlineCensorship.org tracks instances of account suspensions and content takedowns across several social media platforms. Their data suggests not all instances of rule violations play out the same over time, and one major factor seems to be celebrity.

“Regular users, when they lose their account to a ban, can simply start up another and go unnoticed [unless they attract attention again or get reported],” York said. “We see this with IS-supporting users all the time – their large-follow account goes down, and the next thing you know, they’re regaining on another one.”

On Tuesday night, Twitter permanently banned the conservative writer Milo Yiannopoulos as it cracked down on a wave of racist abuse targeting the “Ghostbusters” actor Leslie Jones.

Twitter also told the Breitbart Tech writer, who also is one of the bestknown figures among the Internet’s “alt-right,” that his account would not be restored in the future. The permanent suspension is the social network’s strongest response against those who break its abuse and harassment policies, but we know very little about how Twitter decides when to use it.

Twitter doesn’t generally comment on questions about individual accounts, citing privacy and security reasons. Users who are perma-banned from Twitter are, as a practice, not told which tweets of theirs prompted the ban – only that they are banned, that their accounts will not be restored, and which part of Twitter’s rules the company says were violated.

Twitter also doesn’t have publicly available guidelines for the threshold that must be met for a permanent ban; it only states in its rules against

abusive behavior, “any accounts and related accounts engaging in the activities specified below may be temporarily locked and/or subject to permanent suspension.”

Twitter declined to provide The Washington Post with additional information on which policy violations have triggered permanent suspensions in the past, or the frequency with which Twitter hands them out for abuse and harassment violations.

Twitter permanently banned Yiannopoulos – aka @nero on Twitter – in the immediate fallout from a racist abuse campaign against Jones. Jones quit Twitter on Monday, after posting screenshots of an onslaught of comments she was getting.

Yiannopoulos often used his popular Twitter account to identify and mock enemies of the “alt-right,” a grouping of anti-PC diehards, trolls and racist meme lords who have united around their common liberal targets.

On Monday, Yiannopoulos started making fun of Jones, particularly her response to the racist abuse she was getting. “EVERYONE GETS HATE MAIL FFS,” one tweet read. another called Jones “barely literate.” Later,

28 Heart palpitations should be checked Dear Dr. K: I often experience heart palpitations – almost every time I’m excited, angry or scared. Is this dangerous to my health?

Dear Reader: The word “palpitations” is used differently by different people. To me, palpitations are simply an awareness of your heart beating. People usually aren’t aware of their heart beating. But when it beats unusually forcefully, irregularly or rapidly, you notice the heartbeat.

Most people feel their heart beating forcefully and rapidly during intensive exercise.

But people who have never experienced heart palpitations at rest might not realize how frightening they can be. Certain conditions can make a person’s heart feel as if it is pounding, skipping or racing so fast it will explode from their chest.

Palpitations during exercise occur because of a rush of adrenaline that courses through your body. This causes your heart to beat more forcefully and rapidly than usual.

Adrenaline surges also can be generated by a strong emotion such as excitement, fear or anger. They also can come on after consuming a stimulant such as caffeine.

Another common source of palpitations is premature contraction of the atria, the heart’s upper chambers. Sometimes these chambers pump a fraction of a second earlier than they should. Then they rest an instant longer afterward to get back to their usual rhythm. This feels like a skipped beat. It often is followed by a forceful contraction as the ventricles clear out the extra blood they accumulated during the pause. These premature beats almost always are harmless.

The sensation of abnormal heartbeat can be a warning sign of a heart rhythm problem.

Some of these heart rhythm problems are of no consequence. But others, unfortunately, can be very serious: They may lead to stroke, and even sudden death.

So, you should ask your doctor to

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff check out your palpitations, particularly if they have become more frequent or severe in recent months. And if you’ve been having other symptoms, such as shortness of breath or chest pain, it’s even more important to get checked out.

Assuming the doctor does not find anything serious behind your palpitations, you should feel reassured. But if you’re still bothered by unexplained palpitations, some simple changes may reduce both their frequency and intensity.

Low blood sugar can trigger palpitations, so make a point of eating regularly. Drinking plenty of fluids and getting enough sleep also may help. Stress and anxiety are a source of palpitations in many people. If that is the case for you, breathing exercises, meditation or other relaxation techniques may do the trick. Nicotine can cause palpitations. So can alcohol and certain over-the-counter decongestant medications.

When self-care measures aren’t enough, certain drugs may help prevent palpitations.

Beta blockers that quell the effects of adrenaline on the heart can combat many types of fast heart rhythms. Some people may get relief with anti-anxiety medicines.

Heart palpitations usually will turn out to be nothing serious and easy to fix. But sometimes the cause of the palpitations can be a serious condition. Don’t try to guess whether it’s serious; let your doctor make that decision.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

HOW TO PLAY Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.

D A R A

your teeth, use deodorant and shower regularly, I’m as mystified about your wife’s behavior as you are. I know people who treat their dogs and cats better than this woman has been treating you.

Your therapist has advised a separation, but I would go further than that. Because you don’t have a marriage, I think you should make it official.

Dear Abby: I receive at least two or three telemarketing calls a day – and sometimes even more on Sundays. Can you please tell me what to do to put a stop to this?

I have written once before to an address to curb this situation, but no luck. These calls come as late as 9 p.m. Thank you for any advice. – Stressed Out In Illinois Dear Stressed Out: I agree telemarketing calls are invasive when they come in multiples. The USA.gov Consumer Action Handbook includes a number you can call to restrict telemarketing calls permanently by registering your phone number. It is 888-382-1222. This also can be done at www.donotcall.gov.

If you receive telemarketing calls after your number has been in the national registry for 31 days, you can file a complaint using the same web page and toll-free number.

This will cut back on some of the calls you receive, but not all of them. Political organizations, charities and telephone surveyors with which you have a relationship still can get through. However, if you still find yourself being inundated, contact your phone provider and inquire about call-blocking 800 numbers.

Dear Abby: I DEAR ABBY have been married for almost Jeanne three years to Phillips a woman who refuses to share the same bed with me. It started on our honeymoon when, after having sex, she chose to sleep in a different bed.

She’s in her late 40s and had never been married before. We have been intimate only twice in the last year. Moreover, she doesn’t let me sit next to her while we watch TV, and there is no kissing, no touching, no affection of any kind, physical or verbal.

I have wracked my brain trying to figure out why she treats me like this, and I have a few suspicions. She’s applying for permanent residence status and might have married me only for that, although she denies it. She no longer can bear children, so she might think there is no point in having sex or being intimate. She might have an aversion to being touched, although she doesn’t show that when we’re out in public. She likes to hug her female friends. (And no, I don’t think she’s a lesbian.)

Any love that existed between us is nearly gone at this point, so am I justified in getting a separation? We have been to counseling, and that is what the therapist recommended. –

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Strive to get ahead. Stay centered on what’s important to you and bring about the changes that will give you the strength and courage you need to make your dreams come true. This is a take-charge type of year, so cast your fate to the wind and initiate your plans.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – You can make a lasting professional impression. If you don’t hesitate to share your thoughts and offer suggestions and solutions, advancement will be yours. Romance is encouraged.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Take charge rather than let someone else call the shots. Think about how your time and money are spent

and how you can stretch your dollar to include healthy pastimes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – If you make a plea for change, your voice will count. Participate in matters that concern you instead of watching from the sidelines. Your efforts will draw positive attention. Personal gratification will be offered.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Gauge what others do before you decide to make a move. Look for a unique way to make your domestic situation more accommodating. Don’t let emotions stand in the way of progress.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Adventure may tempt you but caution should take precedence. Too little planning and not enough attention paid to detail will result in regret.

Stick to what you know and the people you trust.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You’ll have to count on yourself when it comes to legal, financial or health concerns. A positive change at home will do wonders for your attitude.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You should put together a proposal about the possibility of turning a hobby into something marketable.

There is money to be made if you are willing to make a change. Partnerships look promising.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Older individuals are likely to pose a problem. Stick close to home, where you can make the most out of your time. An unusual encounter is heading your way.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Discipline and hard

work will lead to a better position. Your tenacity will grab the attention of someone willing to take a chance on you. Romance will lead to a stronger commitment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Don’t get into an argument. The downside will be too great, and whatever gain you do make will be too small. Aim for peace through compromise and hammering out viable solutions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – A little charm mixed in with imaginative suggestions will turn heads.

A partnership will gain greater stability through carefree banter. Show how much you care.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Take the time to appreciate what’s going on around you. Don’t feel the need to jump because someone else is quick to act or is being unpredictable.

When a defender discards from a suit not yet led by either side, it is an attitude signal. Assuming you use Specific Tasks or Whole House. 815-388-6937 standard signals (not upside-down), your lowest card in a suit says that you think your side would do better to lead a different suit. Alternatively, if you pitch an unnecessarily high card, you are asking partner to shift to that suit -- unless he knows better.

In addition, if you can afford to signal with an honor-card, do so; even an unobservant partner will notice that. Here, East could signal with his heart jack, but much better and more fun is to place the heart ace -yes, the ace! -- onto the table. If you can afford to, when you cannot win the trick, play the top of touching honors.

West will momentarily think that East has lost his mind, but then West will lead the heart eight and defeat the contract.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

R-B’s St. Pierre plans to play football

By JON STYF

jstyf@shawmedia.com RICHMOND – Richmond-Burton’s incoming senior class has 201 students.

Two of them are nearly 6-foot-10.

One, Dalton Wagner, is a 6-foot-9 and 300-pound football recruit narrowing down his 20 NCAA Division I scholarship offers to Arkansas and Indiana, and still hoping Oklahoma could add an offer. The other, 6-10 Joey St. Pierre (who said he doesn’t know what he weighs), holds basketball offers from New Mexico and Illinois-Chicago with plenty of interest from other schools, such as Northern Illinois.

This fall, for the first time since they were seventh-grade teammates and stripers (can only play interior line) for the State Line Comets, the two will be playing football together.

After transferring back from La Lumiere after New Year’s last year, St. Pierre decided he wanted to play football for the Rockets as a senior. So he started studying, looking at film with of-

me a break from basketball. ... (I’ve concentrated on basketball) for the past four or five years, all year.”

When the Rockets opened football camp and workouts this July, St. Pierre was there with them, learning on the go while still competing in basketball, spending last week in Las Vegas playing with his Mean Streets AAU team.

He plans to be back at R-B’s football camp on Wednesday.

St. Pierre said he wasn’t eligible to compete in a spring sport but has followed transfer rules and is cleared to play this fall. R-B coach Pat Elder confirmed that St. Pierre is cleared, saying all the rules have been followed.

St. Pierre said he wasn’t worried about injuries, “they can happen playing any sport,” but he plans to wear knee braces to reduce injury risk.

“He’s got some tools that are tools St. Pierre (right) works out with teammates Wednesday during football camp. you can use, but again Joe hasn’t played football in a long time,” Elder said. “To fensive line coach Tad DePorter during with my friends my senior year is a big dive in, there’s a lot to figure out. one,” St. Pierre said. “Football sounds study hall during the spring.

What to watch

• ST. PIERRE

Continued from page 2 “There’s a lot to understand and he’s been working at it. As Joe comes along, we’ll find a role for him for sure.”

Wagner and St. Pierre aren’t alone in the extremely tall category for the Rockets’ offensive line, which includes junior Cooper Eckardt, who was listed as 6-7 last season but looks closer to 6-9 this year.

“We’ve got a little size, but Dalton’s the only one who has played any varsity

Jack Moscinski leading the way.

Ohlrich averaged 11.9 points and Moscinski scored 10.1 points a game last season.

“Losing Pischke is big, but I like what I’ve seen from our guard play so far this summer,” Sarther said. “I’m real excited with the size of our kids.

Sam can go out on the floor and score, and on the defensive end he can still be a rim protector. Jack played considerable minutes and he’s taking on more of a leadership role as well.”

Smith, 58, was 12 years old when his father helped land him a caddying job at Knollwood Club in Lake Forest.

“I fell in love with the game, I taught myself how to play and played all four years of high school [at Grant],” Smith said. “I kept playing and became a very good amateur golfer.”

Smith, who is semi-retired after a career as a firefighter-paramedic and at the Lake County Coroner’s Office, still plays a lot of golf at Fox Lake Country Club and other courses. He liked the idea of a promotion from girls assistant to boys head coach.

“That’s a great pick for the boys team,” Price said. “He’s been playing golf for a very long time and he’s been in charge of our girls summer camps.

He spends a lot of time teaching the fundamentals. One of the most important things he brings is the mental approach out there on the course.”

football,” Elder said. “We’ll build ourselves around Dalton up front and go from there.”

But that won’t keep the imagination from running to a situation where Eckardt, Wagner and St. Pierre lineup together on the right side of the Rockets’ line. Or at least two of them, with Wagner at tackle and St. Pierre at tight end.

“It opens up a whole lot of possibilities,” St. Pierre said.

For now, St. Pierre will continue to work as a tight end, a position that blocks but also could be a receiving weapon for the Rockets. There’s also a

possibility St. Pierre could play defensive tackle, though he said he hasn’t talked much with coaches about that.

The Rockets finished 9-2 last season, falling in the second round of the playoffs to Rockford Lutheran, and plan to be one of the top teams in the inaugural season of Kishwaukee River Conference play this fall.

“One thing we talked about with Joe is that we had high expectations coming into the season before Joe joined us,” Elder said. “We’ll have high expectations still. We’re excited about anybody.”

“The first new scoreboard is up.”

– @GoDCHSAthletics

Jim Sarther realized the opportunity, a couple of years ago, that might materialize.

Curtis Price, then Marian Central’s boys basketball coach, was hired as assistant athletic director. Naturally, Sarther figured, Price might eventually want to step into the AD’s role, which would then open up the head coaching position.

“I thought, ‘Hey, maybe this is something I could go ahead and take over,’ ” Sarther said. “I could go ahead and work to try to continue on with the program he had and keep it moving forward.”

When Price was hired as Marian’s AD last month, Sarther, an assistant in Price’s program since he came to the school in 2007-08, leaped at the chance for the boys head coaching job. Price announced Monday that Sarther was taking over as Hurricanes coach. Kevin Smith, an assistant girls golf coach at Marian for the last five years, also was hired as boys head golf coach.

Sarther teaches business, computers and accounting classes at Marian and coached boys basketball at every level during his nine-year stint. He also was head boys tennis head coach for three years.

“It’s prepared me fairly well,” Sar-

ther said. “The tennis program does not run in the spotlight of the basketball program, but we were sending kids to state and competing. With basketball, I’m familiar with the program from the top to the bottom.”

Sarther also was active with Marian’s feeder programs and was given more responsibilities from Price through the years. They conversed about the possibility of this happening.

Jim Sarther “I’ve seen progress each and every year with Jim’s understanding of the game,” Price said. “I saw him developing into a much better coach. That’s a positive because you have someone who’s always going to strive to be a better coach.”

Sarther, 36, graduated from Hinsdale Central, where he played tennis and football. He Kevin Smith and his wife, Kelly, a Crystal Lake native, have 2-year-old twins, P.J. and Charlotte.

The Hurricanes lost Northwest Herald Player of the Year Adam Pischke, a dynamic point guard, who graduated and will play at NCAA Division II Lewis University. But they will have good size with 6-foot-8 Sam Ohlrich and 6-4

Sox beat Cubs on Saladino’s single

By JAY COHEN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Tyler Saladino hit a game-ending RBI single, and the White Sox put a damper on the Cubs’ trade for Aroldis Chapman with a 5-4 victory Monday night.

J.B. Shuck sparked the winning rally with a leadoff single against Mike Montgomery (3-5), who was acquired in a deal with Seattle last week. Shuck advanced on Dioner Navarro’s sacrifice and Saladino followed with a bouncer into center field.

Dan Jennings (4-2) got two outs for the win. The Sox also got two victories in their last at-bat Sunday against Detroit.

The Cubs trailed 4-2 before Dexter Fowler and Anthony Rizzo each hit an RBI single in the ninth. They had runners on first and second with two out when Jennings struck out Jason Heyward to escape the threat.

Javier Baez hit a two-run homer for the Cubs, who were coming off a nice weekend series in Milwaukee.

Todd Frazier hit a three-run drive off Jake Arrieta and Miguel Gonzalez pitched into the seventh inning, helping the Sox to their third consecutive win. Melky Cabrera made an outstanding leaping catch in the first, robbing Kris Bryant of a home run.

lowed just 10 homers all year long on his way to the NL Cy Young Award.

The NL Central-leading Cubs had won seven of 10 after a midseason slide, and they bolstered their already solid bullpen with the acquisition of the hard-throwing Chapman in a trade with the Yankees on Monday. The lefthander is expected to join the Cubs for Tuesday night’s game against the White Sox. “When you make a maneuver like this, it’s got to be obvious that it’s going to be very helpful,” manager Joe Maddon said, “and it’s very obvious that this will be.”

Chasing their first World Series title since 1908, the Cubs sent top shortstop prospect Gleyber Torres, versatile pitcher Adam Warren and minor league outfielders Billy McKinney and Rashad Crawford to New York for Chapman, who has 166 saves and a 2.16 ERA in seven years in the majors.

WHITE SOX NOTES

Sale to return from suspension Thursday

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

White Sox ace Chris Sale will make his next start against the Cubs on Thursday at Wrigley Field, and Anthony Ranaudo, not Jacob Turner, will start Wednesday.

Sale is eligible to come off the suspended list Thursday. He was suspended Sunday for violating team rules, for insubordination and for destroying team uniforms before his scheduled start Saturday against the Tigers.

Ranaudo was 5-3 with two complete games and a 3.20 ERA for Triple-A Charlotte in 13 starts this season. The Sox acquired him in a trade with the Texas Rangers for right-hander Matt Ball on May 12. Turner made two starts in place of Carlos Rodon (disabled list) and didn’t get past the fourth inning in either one.

dues into an account managed by the team, but visiting clubhouse manager Jeff Bopp will get paid by the players one way or another.

“I will say that I have an envelope full of checks ready to be sent out,’’ Sox player rep Adam Eaton said Monday.

The Sox declined to pay because Mariners management made itself part of the financial arrangement between players and clubbies, which allows Bopp to receive 40 percent of the dues, all tips and his salary. The other 60 percent of the dues goes to a team account and helps pay for food and the salaries of clubhouse assistants.

Other teams have tried to get around the Mariners policy, including Mariners clubhouse manager the Cleveland Indians, Eaton said. will get paid, Eaton says “We want to give the money to the White Sox players left Seattle last people doing the work in the clubweek without paying clubhouse dues house,’’ Eaton said. “We don’t want the and tips in protest of the Mariners’ front office taking money from the guy new policy that puts 60 percent of the down there working till 1 in the mornthrowback uniforms, cut them up before Saturday’s game, which he was supposed to start, and was scratched from the lineup and sent home. The Sox announced the suspension the following day.

Manager Robin Ventura was forced to start reliever Matt Albers and used five other relievers Saturday, using up almost his entire bullpen.

“Yeah, I’m sure they’ll have conversations about it,’’ Ventura said. “But I don’t think we need to have a whole team meeting and address it that way.

“We’ll deal with that when he gets here.’’

We treat those guys with the utmost respect. They work their butts off.

“We’re going to pay Jeff, but we want a policy change. We’ve reached out to other teams and they’re going to do the same thing.’’

Such arrangements are expected to be included in the next collective bargaining agreement. The current one expires in December.

Lawrie improving, Rodon rehabbing

Second baseman Brett Lawrie (left hamstring) missed a fourth straight game but was available to play Monday, Ventura said.

Rodon made a rehab start Monday night with Triple-A Charlotte at Louisville. He has been on the DL since July 9, retroactive to July 6, with a sprained left wrist.

Relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman delivers a pitch July 17 in New York. The Cubs acquired Chapman from the New York Yankees on Monday in exchange for four players.

Epstein said that even after reaching an agreement on the trade package, the front office and ownership would not sign off on the deal until a phone conversation with Chapman on Monday to discuss the incident in which he allegedly choked his girlfriend and then fired gunshots into a couch in his garage – and the expectations the Cubs had for him with their team.

“If we had not been satisfied with what we heard from Aroldis, we would not have moved forward, on those grounds,” Epstein said.

In the end, the Cubs made the baseball decision they felt the opportunity demanded.

“You can’t take for granted the po-

sition that we’re in right now,” said Epstein, whose club has the best record in baseball as it opened a four-game stretch against the White Sox. “This was a show of faith in our bigleague team,” he said. “It was an aggressive move. It was tough to give up what we gave up. But if not now, when?

This was the appropriate move given where we are and what we’re trying to accomplish.”

The value of a 105-mph closer – and the way it lengthens the Cubs’ lineup of power setup pitchers – has been underscored the last two Octobers in the key role the Kansas City Royals’ power bullpen played in their back-to-back World Series.

CUBS NOTES

Rondon loses closer job but ‘happy’ with Chapman addition

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

How much do the Cubs believe Aroldis Chapman will do for their World Series chances?

Hector Rondon lost his job and said: “I’m great with that. I’m really happy.”

Added the Cubs’ third-year closer, who will move into a setup role to make way for the new 105-mph All-Star closer: “Anything that helps us get to where we need to be, I’ll take it.”

Rondon, who has converted 18 of 22 saves this season with a 1.95 ERA, met with team president Theo Epstein immediately after the Cubs completed Monday’s 4-for-1 trade with the Yankees to acquire Chapman.

“The one thing I wanted to communicate to Hector was at no point did we say we’re worried about Hector Rondon and we need to go out and get a new closer,” Epstein said. “Instead, the question

we asked ourselves was how can we get even better so that we can put ourselves in a position to try to get to the playoffs and win three postseason series.

“We felt like this trade made us better because of the importance of having three or four shutdown relievers in the postseason and down the stretch.”

Rondon, who was especially effective late last season during the Cubs’ playoff run, said he’s fine pitching wherever the Cubs need him out of a bullpen that in the past few days also added power lefty Mike Montgomery and six-time All-Star closer Joe Nathan.

“The only thing that matters to me is that I come in and do my job,” Rondon said. “I know I did a really good job in my role. It’s no big deal. You see my numbers; they’re really good. But I know the front office did a really good job to get Chapman, and I think if you have a chance to get that guy you better take it.”

Barring a DL move when Chapman joins the club Tuesday, left-hander Clayton Richard is the likely odd man out in an eight-man bullpen.

Rizzo: No bad blood with Chapman During a game two years ago, just before the All-Star break, Anthony Rizzo threw down his glove at first base and stalked toward the Cincinnati Reds dugout to take on the entire Reds team – but specifically targeting Aroldis Chapman, who continued to yap after the Cubs had a problem with him throwing up and in to Cubs hitters.

Two years later, Epstein said Rizzo was the most excited of players he spoke with after acquiring Chapman.

“We’re here to win a World Series championship. Our ballclub just got a lot better,” said Rizzo, who never got the chance to confront Chapman – then met him a few days later when they were National League teammates at the All-Star game.

“What happened was two, three years ago and was water under the bridge two or three days after it happened at the All-Star game,” Rizzo said. “We’ve seen each other plenty of times since and said hello.

“I’m excited.”

Notes: Manager Joe Maddon used Dexter Fowler as his designated hitter Monday and plans to do it again Tuesday with the center fielder less than a week removed from the disabled list for a hamstring injury. “He’s come back rather quickly ,and we want to really make sure he doesn’t re-injure that,” Maddon said.

• Maddon said with Adam Warren gone in Monday’s trade, right-hander Trevor Cahill steps into Warren’s old role as the Cubs sixth starter. Warren made a spot start just before the break.

Cahill (knee) is on a minor league rehab assignment, having made two starts with AAA Iowa.

• Tuesday, July 26, 2016

If this is about baseball, the Cubs look like they won the day by acquiring the hardest-throwing pitcher in baseball history to close games for them, keep him from closing games for another contender, and to significantly raise their World Series expectations.

Of course, nothing ever seems that simple for the Cubs, who accepted Aroldis Chapman’s domestic violence past when they gambled on his immediate future by acquiring him from the Yankees in a 4-for-1 trade Monday.

The Yankees got the Cubs’ top prospect, 19-year-old shortstop Gleyber Torres, along with right-hander Adam Warren and a pair of minor-league outfielders, Billy McKinney and Rashad Crawford.

“I’m glad no one else got him. He was going to go somewhere, so it’s good to have him on our side,” said All-Star third baseman Kris Bryant, who didn’t want to comment on the allegations of domestic abuse last winter and subsequent 30-game suspension under major league baseball’s domestic violence policy. “I don’t know enough about the situation or what happened.”

Players and manager Joe Maddon talked about “clean slates” and “not pre-judging,” and some talked about good things they’d heard about Chapman as a teammate and person in New York after returning from his suspension.

“Talking to their guys, they just knew after the fifth or sixth inning, the game was over,” first baseman Anthony Rizzo said. “That’s a good feeling to have.

“We’re making a statement here.”

Rizzo understands the way that statement reads to many who view Chapman’s off-the-field issues as a reason to dismiss his potential playoff value “Mistakes were made. He served his suspension,” Rizzo said. “Playing in New York for the Yankees isn’t easy, and you didn’t hear anything, not even a peep over there in New York about him. We don’t see it being any different here. There’s things in life that you have to overcome, and not everyone’s perfect.”

Chapman, who’s scheduled to join the Cubs on Tuesday, was still in play for several Cubs’ potential playoff rivals, with the Nationals believed to be their closest rival for him.

That caused the Cubs to increase their offer late, Epstein said.

But industry insiders say the Cubs did well even after adding to the package – especially given the luxury of two young starter-caliber shortstops on the big-league roster in Addison Russell (22) and Javy Baez (23).

“None of those guys is going to hurt them,” said one longtime evaluator familiar with the Cubs’ organization, rating only Torres as a high-ceiling prospect. “And that’s not going to hurt them because they’ve got Baez.”

BEARS TRAINING CAMP POSITION ANALYSIS: SPECIAL TEAMS

Return battle will be key story line

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com During the first month of the 2015 season, the Bears’ coverage teams were a disaster, and Robbie Gould was automatic. In the second half of the season, the Bears covered kicks and punts as well as anyone and got a boost on kickoff returns from Deonte Thompson, but Gould had some crucial misses. This offseason, the Bears brought back several members of the special teams and hope to build off the successes seen late last year.

Three things to watch on special teams in training camp: The return competition: It’s Year Three following the Devin Hester era and the Bears enter training camp hoping to find answers in the return game. Last year, Deonte Thompson joined the team late and averaged 29.2

yards per return, including a 74-yarder. He provided a breakaway speed element the team needed, and he’s back to reclaim that spot. Marc Mariani, a former Pro Bowl returner, lost the kickoff-return job but maintained the punt return gig throughout the season, improving as the year went along. The Bears can also use Eddie Royal on punt returns. Seventh-round pick Daniel Braverman returned punts in college. Undrafted rookie Ki-

eren Duncan and his 4.3 speed will try to get into the competition, along with undrafted rookie Derek Keaton, who was a first-team All-Sun Belt returner. Thompson and Mariani will have the edge as the incumbents, but this should be one of the more entertaining competitions in camp.

Gould, the cover teams and the new kickoff rules: This season, touchbacks

will come back to the 25-yard line.

How will kicking teams handle it? One strategy could be pop-up kicks, counting on the veteran Gould to place the kick high enough and short enough to force a return, and relying on the coverage teams to pin offenses well inside the 25. Or maybe Gould will just kick it deep. His touchback rate last season was 60.7 percent. It’ll likely be a game-by-game, even kick-by-kick determination for Gould and special teams coordinator Jeff Rodgers.

Roster battles galore: For those who have followed this series closely, the line, “special teams will determine this roster spot” will be a familiar one.

Finding the last cornerback, safety, linebacker and wide receiver to make the team will come down to that player’s role on special teams, and how he can make an impact on the third phase. Rookies will have to fight off several returning core special-teamers, such as Sherrick McManis, Josh Bellamy, Chris Prosinski, Sam Acho, Lamin Barrow and Demontre Hurst.

Fringe roster players, including some of the aforementioned coverage guy, will have to show speed, discipline and playmaking abilities in the kicking game to guarantee a spot on the 53. The Bears do enter camp with two punters and two long snappers, but Pat O’Donnell and Aaron Brewer are expected to win those respective jobs.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: BIG TEN MEDIA DAY

Scandal still casts shadow at Penn State

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Penn State coach James Franklin sees an improved team in Happy Valley – and a program that can’t escape the shadow cast by the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.

Franklin made some pointed comments about negative recruiting against the Nittany Lions, saying there are issues that need to be addressed possibly at the conference level.

“I think there’s a fine line to that,” he said at Big Ten Media Day on Monday. “I think some things need to be addressed. I do think there’s a line you do not cross. But I guess in some ways that’s the nature of the beast. I think some people are going to look for weaknesses and try to take advantage of those. But to me, there is a line that you do not cross. We’ll see how that whole thing plays out. There is a time and a place for everything.”

Franklin’s comments came in the wake of recently disclosed allegations from men who have accused Sandusky of sexual abuse that raised fresh questions about what his fellow Penn State

assistant coaches might have seen or known before his November 2011 arrest – and why they have largely kept quiet.

The allegations have also raised questions about just how far back late coach Joe Paterno became aware of the situation.

“Negative recruiting happens all over the country. Everyone is dealing with it,” Franklin said.

But other programs James aren’t dealing with a Franklin situation like this one.

Franklin said Nittany Lions coaches “probably have to answer more tough questions” than any other staff, particularly on the recruiting trail.

When reports surface, he said he calls recruits as well as their families and coaches to answer questions they might have about the direction of the program.

And he made a point to say Monday that it is headed in the right direction.

Now that they are free of sanctions and back to the full 85 scholarships, Franklin insisted the Nittany Lions are ready

to make a jump after going 7-6 and making bowl games each of his first two seasons.

“There’s very few programs that would have been able to come through what we’ve come through with the type of success that we’ve had, two bowl games in a row,” he said. “Never had a losing season through the challenges.

So there’s positives there to build on.”

But can he lead the Nittany Lions back toward the top of a conference with no shortage of big-name coaches?

Michigan in particular has huge expectations after regaining its swagger and going 10-3 in Jim Harbaugh’s first season.

“We have big hopes,” Harbaugh said. “We’ve got big dreams. We’ve got lofty goals. And all those are achievable. And they have to be worked for.

You can accomplish anything if the work is realized. And those things have to be earned. So we are in the position right now to work to get the things we want. That’s the fact. That’s the mentality. That’s the attitude.”

Wolverines tight end Jake Butt sees a team with no major weaknesses.

“We’ve got an experienced offen-

sive line, we’ve got an experienced run game, we’ve got a proven run game,” he said. “We have a defense that we know we can trust. We’ve got special teams that we know are going to put us in great positions. They’re all little pieces of the puzzle that come together.”

While Ohio State lost 16 starters, J.T. Barrett is returns for his junior season with a 15-2 record and the knowledge that he is the No. 1 quarterback after losing out to Cardale Jones last year and then replacing him.

Barrett and Iowa cornerback Desmond King – the 2015 Thorpe Award winner as the country’s top defensive back – highlighted the preseason all-Big Ten selections on Monday.

Barrett was selected to the East Division team along with Michigan defensive back Jabrill Peppers, Michigan State defensive lineman Malik McDowell, Ohio State linebacker Raekwon McMillan and Penn State running back Saquon Barkley by a media panel. Iowa quarterback C.J. Beathard and King, Northwestern running back Justin Jackson and linebacker Anthony Walker, and Wisconsin running back Corey Clement were the West picks.

INDIANAPOLIS – Kyle Busch used his first Brickyard 400 victory as a springboard to his first Sprint Cup title.

He’s trying to make sure it happens again.

Another dominant weekend at Indianapolis sent Busch home with a historic sweep, a reputation for having tamed Indianapolis’ tricky 2.5-mile oval and plenty of momentum heading into the chase.

“To come out of here, at a place this hard to race and be able to have two years like this, I think, is really special,” team owner and Super Bowl-winning coach Joe Gibbs said. “That’s a tribute to him, the team and (crew chief) Adam Stevens.”

If Busch keeps driving this well, he’ll be impossible to catch.

He posted the fastest laps in both of Friday’s practices, the best speed in two of the three rounds of Cup qualifying Saturday and led a record 149 laps in the double overtime race that went 10 laps longer than the scheduled 160.

7 Russian swimmers to miss Rio Olympics

By JAMES ELLINGWORTH The Associated Press

MOSCOW – Seven Russian swimmers have been barred from the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, including three linked to recent allegations of a major doping cover-up by Russian authorities, world swimming’s governing body FINA said Monday.

Reigning world 100-meter breaststroke champion Yulia Efimova is among four Russian swimmers withdrawn by the Russian swimming federation because they previously served doping bans, FINA said. The others are Natalya Lovtsova, Anastasia Krapivina and Mikhail Dovgalyuk.

The International Olympic Committee on Sunday said Russian athletes with previous doping bans would be banned from the Rio Games. That

followed the IOC’s decision not to ban the entire Russian team over allegations of state-sponsored doping.

FINA said three more swimmers were identified by World Anti-Doping Agency investigator Richard McLaren when he examined evidence that Russian government officials ordered the cover-up of hundreds of doping tests.

They are 2008 Olym- Yulia p i c s i l v e r a n d 2 0 1 2 Efimova bronze medalist Nikita Lobintsev, bronze medalist Vladimir Morozov and world junior record holder Daria Ustinova.

Russia’s top Olympic official, Alexander Zhukov, told Russian agency R-Sport that he now believed a total of 13 Russians would be ineligible due to

previous doping bans. They would be withdrawn from the team, he added.

The 13 are likely to include athletes in swimming, cycling, weightlifting, wrestling and rowing.

On Sunday, the IOC’s executive board asked individual global sports federations to decide on the entry of Russian athletes, and announced new eligibility criteria.

The rules prohibit Russia from sending to the Rio Games any athletes who have previously served doping bans.

Sports federations can also reject Russian entries if they have not undergone enough international drug testing. Results of Russian tests will not be accepted following allegations of routine cover-ups at Moscow’s anti-doping laboratory.

It remains unclear whether there

FIVE-DAY PLANNER TEAM

could be legal challenges to the IOC criteria. A similar IOC measure, known as the Osaka Rule, which would have prohibited any athletes who had received doping bans from competing in the subsequent Olympics, was declared invalid by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Zhukov said the IOC’s latest criteria violated the “principle of equality” because they only applied to Russia, although he has previously ruled out legal action.

However, Russian Swimming Federation president Vladimir Salnikov told the state Tass agency that the four swimmers cut from its team “have the chance to appeal to CAS.” Efimova’s agent, Andrei Mitkov, told Russia’s Sportbox website that she intended to file an appeal if she was not allowed to compete.

NFL clears Peyton Manning of HGH allegations

The NFL says it found no credible evidence that Peyton Manning was provided with human growth hormone or other prohibited substances as alleged in a documentary by Al-Jazeera America last year.

The NFL is continuing its investigation into allegations made against other NFL players in the documentary, which the league said involves “different lines of inquiry and witnesses.” Those other players – all of them linebackers – provided the league with sworn affidavits, but the NFL wants to interview them in person.

Comeback route: NFL reinstates wide receiver Josh Gordon

CLEVELAND – Josh Gordon’s curious and complicated career has taken a new turn.

He’s getting yet another chance.

The talented but troubled wide receiver has been reinstated on a conditional basis by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who met face to face with Gordon last week and said he believes the 25-yearold can “make the right choices” going forward.

Gordon has been banned since February 2015 for multiple violations of the league’s drug policies. He will be suspended for the first four games of the 2016-17 season, but he’s allowed to join the team in its upcoming training camp and can participate in meetings and conditioning work.
