Good morning, McHenry County ...

Support police, Special Olympics on Friday Sometimes the acrimony surrounding police is puzzling for many of us who live in communities that support the police and cops support them back above and beyond their time on the clock.

I saw it firsthand years ago serving on the McHenry County Police Charities board.

Watching officers take kids, who might not otherwise have much of a Christmas, on a gift shopping spree was one of the highlights of my season.

Issues you read about in more urban environments are complex. There are perceptions, partially true and often false, that can be difficult to navigate and some paint police with broad strokes. This happens to people in many professions, but people in those professions don’t face the physical risks that police officers face – often in emotionally charged environments.

Here in McHenry County, people generally appreciate cops. That’s a good place to start. There’s a great opportunity Friday to show your support for local police and, just as importantly, show support for a cause that’s been near and dear to police officers’ hearts

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Kevin Lyons for many years.

Local police and police across the nation are huge supporters of Special Olympics and this Friday, Crystal Lake and Algonquin officers will be serving lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Texas Roadhouse, 835 Cog Circle, in Crystal Lake.

The meal that includes a pulled-pork sandwich, corn, fresh-baked bread with honey-cinnamon butter and a drink is free but diners are asked to make a donation to Special Olympics.

It’s an easy way to show your support for local police, make a difference and sneak out of the office for a bit on a Friday.

NEW YORK – Daniel Higgins knows a thing or two about sting operations.

Although the New York Police Department detective’s main job is working in a counterterrorism unit, he is also one of two official department beekeepers who don protective gear and head to the scene when buzzing swarms of the insects glom onto buildings, streetlights or other pieces of the urban landscape.

The NYPD bee brigade responds to dozens of calls each spring and summer, including some recently where officers used vacuums to remove grotesque, wiggling masses of tens of thousands of bees from a lamppost near Grand Central Terminal, the awning of a restaurant and even a chained bicycle near Times Square.

“You try to get there as quickly as you can to corral them because you don’t want the bees to fall on the public,” Higgins said.

Fabric, Fiber and Finds fills last spot in Crystal Lake with recent relocation

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Anyone who wants to relocate their retail store downtown will have to wait, as there are zero retail vacancies in downtown Crystal Lake right now.

Fabric, Fiber and Finds filled downtown Crystal Lake’s last vacant spot when it relocated to 37 N. Williams St. on July 7.

“Crystal Lake is attracting a lot of businesses and people want to be located in the downtown area,” said Heather

Maieritsch, the economic development manager for the city of Crystal Lake.

“The city has worked really hard in trying to fill [vacancies] and create a lively downtown. We invested in the downtown area,” Maieritsch added.

Louise Steinbach, owner of Fabric, Fiber and Finds, said her arts and craft business has been doing great since the move.

“The new location has been incredible,” Steinbach said. “The foot traffic alone is worth the move.”

Steinbach credited Downtown Crystal Lake/Main Street, a not-for-profit or-

ganization founded by local community volunteers, for the area’s success.

“The downtown association does a lot to really support the stores down here,” she said. “So it’s almost like you’re not independent, you know, there’s an organization behind you that does so many cool events during the year.”

The organization runs downtown events such as the Johnny Appleseed Festival and helps new businesses get settled. Diana Kenney, Downtown Crystal Lake/Main Street executive director, said she believes teamwork is what makes the downtown area so successful

and attractive to new businesses.

“This is a huge accomplishment, especially for a historic downtown like this,” Kenney said. “And I really think it has a lot to do with the teamwork and cooperation that downtown Crystal Lake, the city of Crystal Lake and the merchants have in making this a great community.”

Another business that has been doing well since it opened downtown June 15 is family restaurant Retro Bistro.

Chris Barth, who co-owns the eatery

Rauner signs McSweeney bill to curb government travel expenses

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com Public officials who travel to do the taxpayers’ work are going to face a lot more restrictions when it comes to asking them to pick up the tab.

Gov. Bruce Rauner signed a bill into law that aims to crack down on government officials dining and traveling at taxpayer expense. The bill, filed by state Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, limits the amount of money that nonhome-rule governments can spend on travel, meals and lodging, and outright bans spending on entertainment expenses.

McSweeney said Tuesday that he was very satisfied that Rauner signed his House Bill 4379 into law. McSweeney filed the bill in January in response to a number of reports from media and watchdog groups highlighting questionable or lavish expenses by local officials.

“This means, hopefully, lower property taxes, because we need to reduce wasteful local government spending,” McSweeney said.

The new law, which took effect with Rauner’s signature, requires local governments to draft ordinances that define acceptable expenses and set maximum limits. Governments also must create

“This means, hopefully, lower property taxes, because we need to reduce wasteful local government spending.”

David McSweeney

State representative, R-Barrington Hills a standardized form to document travel, meal and lodging expenses, and the forms can be obtained by the public under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. Expenses incurred by elected officials must be approved by a vote in an open meeting, as will expenses racked up by rank-and-file government employees that exceed whatever maximum limit the public body sets.

House Bill 4379 cleared both the House and Senate without a single opposing vote. It was carried in the Senate by state Sen. Tom Cullerton, D-Villa Park, who has been an outspoken critic of the spending practices of ousted College of DuPage President Robert Breuder.

While Breuder’s expenses, which

included his membership in a shooting club and the food and alcohol tab at the college’s former French restaurant, made national headlines, the college is just one of a number of Illinois government bodies that have asked taxpayers to pick up questionable checks.

One of the latest examples is in Matteson School District 159, where the school board voted to turn in member’s district-issued credit cards after records showed that school officials and current and former board members have spent close to $150,000 in the past four years on meetings, cross-country travel and Coach purses for retiring staff, according to reports.

Other high-profile expenses include the Chicago Transit Authority spending more than $600,000 since 2010 to send people to Hawaii and Las Vegas for pension-related conferences, and an impoverished one-school district on Chicago’s South Side spending at least $65,000 on travel for board members and staff.

Charges put on the township-issued credit card of the highway commissioner in Naperville Township in recent years included sausages and beer from a supermarket, a $300 Italian restaurant bill and lunch at Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery, a restaurant chain known for its scantily clad waitresses.

Crash at Three Oaks and Route 31 Police investigate a two-vehicle crash Tuesday afternoon at Three Oaks Road and Route 31 in Crystal Lake. According to scanner reports, the crash involved an on-duty Illinois State Police trooper.

There were no reported injuries.

New Wheeler-sponsored law gives college credit for language literacy

By SAMANTHA MOORE smoore@shawmedia.com

A new opportunity allows high school students to earn college credit for language proficiency.

The bill, sponsored by state Rep. Barbara Wheeler, R-Crystal Lake, was signed into law by Gov. Bruce Rauner on Friday. While the Seal of Biliteracy was adopted in the State of Illinois in 2013, House Bill 4330 grants students the opportunity to earn academic credit for high performance on the proficiency exam.

Wheeler describes the exam as rigorous with categories assessing abilities in three areas. Students must demonstrate their proficiency orally as well as through reading and writing.

Those who score highly on the exam will earn college credit that is accepted at all public universities in Illinois.

“We really wanted to make sure there was an incentive for the kids as well as flexibility for the schools.”

Barb Wheeler

State representative, R-Crystal Lake The bill does not specify the amount of credit that will be administered.

“We really wanted to make sure there was an incentive for the kids as well as flexibility for the schools,” Wheeler said.

Because admission to some of these public universities requires two years of a foreign language, the exam offers students an alternative method to satisfy this requirement. Those who demonstrate an existing proficiency in a foreign language need not adhere to the two-year prerequisite.

Besides minimizing the cost of col-

Wife of ex-McHenry County undersheriff’s drug case is transferred to Lake County Woodstock woman is Kane County sheriff’s deputy

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A criminal case against a Kane County sheriff’s deputy and wife of the former McHenry County undersheriff will be heard in Lake County.

Kimberly Zinke, of Woodstock, was indicted last month on three counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance, all Class 4 felonies. She is accused of illegally possessing three different medications – found after police searched her residence in April 2015.

She allegedly possessed modafinil, used to treat narcolepsy and excessive sleepiness; zolpidem, which is used as a sleep aid; and tapentadol, an opioid pain medication, according to the indictment. The Illinois State Police handled the investigation.

The Illinois Supreme Court transferred the case to Lake County on July 18 after McHenry County judges re-

cused themselves, according to court documents. Lake County Judge Patricia Fix will preside over Zinke’s case.

While the charges were filed in McHenry County, Lake County also agreed to prosecute the case because of Zinke’s local connections.

Lake County Assistant State’s Attorney Reginald Mathews, who is prosecuting the case, could not be reached Tuesday morning.

Her husband, Andrew Zinke, previously worked under former Sheriff Keith Nygren and ran for that position in 2014 after Nygren announced his retirement. He lost to Bill Prim in the Republican primary, and McHenry County State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi supported Prim, who won the election.

Attorney Hank Sugden, who represents Kimberly Zinke, previously called the charges political payback because his client supported the losing candidate in the Kane County sheriff’s race. He said Zinke has prescriptions for all three medications.

lege for these students, the achievement is something Wheeler said students may put on résumés to distinguish themselves.

The Illinois Seal of Biliteracy began its annual distribution in the Woodstock Community Unit School District 200 during the 2015-16 school year. According to Illinois State Board of Education, 54 Illinois school districts were approved to award the State Seal of Biliteracy for the 2015-16 school year, and nearly 800 Illinois students in the Class of 2015 graduated with the Illinois State Seal of Biliteracy.

WOODSTOCK – After a unanimous vote at a McHenry County Board meeting, this August is being proclaimed BYOBag (Bring Your Own Bag) month throughout the county.

The BYOBag program, led by the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County, will encourage county residents to use reusable bags when shopping instead of disposable plastic ones. It also will support local businesses in promoting the use of nonplastic and nonpaper bags at checkout.

The Environmental Defenders have received two grants via the McHenry County Community Foundation to help educate the public on how harmful plastic bags can be to the environment. These grants allow the organization to put BYOBag signs around grocery stores and retail shops in attempt to encourage change.

The BYOBag Committee, part of the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County, is asking the public to start observing this environmentally friendly month on Aug. 1.

According to the committee, one reusable bag can replace the use of hundreds of plastic bags.

A month dedicated to promoting reusable bags won’t be something new for McHenry County, as several towns, including Algonquin, Cary, Crystal Lake and Woodstock, have already held their own BYOBag months in the past.

Louise Steinbach, owner of Fabric, Fiber and Finds

• CRYSTAL LAKE DOWNTOWN

Heisler’s Bootery owner Jim Heisler said his grandfather, John Heisler Sr., started the boot-selling business in 1908.

“I would say the majority of downtown business folks are like a big family,” Jim Heisler said.

Heisler said he believes that what makes downtown Crystal Lake so special is that the area is all small businesses with local owners. Whether it’s a bar, restaurant, specialty store or antiques shop, it’s likely run by someone local.

“Most of the time it’s either the owner working at the business or a family member,” Heisler said.

“Like for my store, it’s very rare you won’t find a Heisler on board when you stop by.”

Continued from page A3

with his wife, Lorraine, said when he discovered the downtown area less than two years ago, he knew it would be a great spot for business.

“I had no idea there was this vibrant, exciting, action-packed downtown Crystal Lake had until I saw it,” Barth said.

While Fabric, Fiber and Finds and Retro Bistro are some of the most recent businesses to be located downtown, the oldest running business to remain in downtown Crystal Lake is Heisler’s Bootery, which has been around since the early 1900s.

Most annuities are complicated insurance policies that are hard to understand. And once you buy into an annuity, it can be difficult and costly to reverse. That’s why it is vital to call for Annuity Insights before you purchase an annuity. And if you already own an annuity, this free report is just as valuable. You’ll learn: • The advantages and disadvantages of annuities • Why annuities can be complex to understand • What you need to ask an annuity salesman before you buy • The inflation risk, tax implications and annuity fees

If someone is trying to sell you an annuity, I urge you to call for your free report. If you have an annuity, my team can help you decide if it is right for you. And if it isn’t, we might be able to help you and even offset some of the annuity surrender fees.* This free report could be a life saver.

VIEWS Joan Oliver filled with example after example of injustice.

Can anyone really say that the recent spate of fatal police shootings of black men around this country isn’t evidence that there is a problem?

Conversely, can anyone really say that fatally shooting police officers in retaliation is justified?

Is either really an “us vs. them” situation? To hear the rhetoric in some circles, we might think so.

Perhaps that’s the problem. Perhaps it’s just too easy to think that what black Americans face is “their” problem, not ours.

No one has said, and no one could seriously believe, that every police officer in this country is racist. The vast majority, who take their duty to serve and protect seriously, are not.

Yet, clearly there are a few.

So when we hear the phrase “Black Lives Matter,” why is that some people think that means their own lives are being diminished?

The angry retort is, “All Lives Mat-

ter” or “Blue Lives Matter.”

Yes and yes. Yes, they do. But no one is arguing that they don’t.

As a white woman, I honestly can’t say I know what it’s like to be repeatedly pulled over and questioned. I do not know what it’s like to be afraid that I might die for being pulled over for a busted taillight or the like. And if we’re honest, a lot of us in this county don’t, either.

Yet we live in a world where a black man can have a legally obtained permit to carry a concealed weapon and can wind up dead. Where black professionals can tell story after story of the number of times they have been pulled over and questioned for being in their own neighborhoods in affluent suburbs.

Can we agree that something isn’t right with this picture? Is it really OK that it’s happening to “them” as long as it isn’t happening to “us”?

The only way “All Lives Matter” is if “Black Lives Matter,” too.

Sadly, we’re not there yet.

When we are young, one of the first things we learn is that not all things are the same.

“Can you tell me which thing is not like the others.” These words no doubt evoke that little ditty “One of These Things (is Not Like the Others)” from “Sesame Street” for a lot of us.

We learn to try to make sense of the world by seeing how things are different and how they are the same.

For a long time, differences are a matter of curiosity, things to be explored and examined and assessed. We are eager little Lewises and Clarks as we make our way through the world.

Sometimes that means we ask our parents embarrassing questions, such as “Why is that lady’s hair pink?”

However, somewhere along the line, that curiosity gives way to fear and suspicion, and people who are different become “them” and those who are the same become “us.”

We learn to distrust things that are “different.” Worse yet, sometimes we go out of our way to pick on them.

Anyone who has been the victim of bullying can attest to that.

Unfortunately, a lot of us don’t seem to have grown out of that.

The world these days is a dangerous, confusing and frustrating place,

OBITUARIES Born: Jan. 5, 1936; in Chicago, IL Died: July 25, 2016; in Barrington, IL Mary Ann Barrett (nee Behringer), 80, of Lakewood, Illinois, died surrounded by her adoring children on Monday, July 25, 2016.

She was the devoted and loving wife of Robert M. Barrett for 51 years.

Her great joy in life was being mother to her six children, Robert (Jenny), Linda, William (Lynda), Martin (Lisa), Michael and Anthony.

Cherished grandmother to Kyle (Meghan), Sara (Garth), Matthew, Bobby, Trevor, Josh, Michael, Jason, Rebecca (Randy) and Matthew (Kristin); and great-grandma to eight.

Preceded in death by her husband, Robert M Barrett; father, Donald Behringer; and Mother, Marie (nee Chambers); brother, Donald (Ann) Behringer; survived by sisters, Kathleen (Harold Marthinsen), Cornelia (Emil Schwarz); and sister-in-law, Ann Behringer.

Loved by countless extended family.

She was known for her kindness, gentle nature and constant smile, but it was her deep faith that made her a model for living. Many called upon her for fervent special intention prayers. Mornings you could find her at the kitchen table reciting prayers from her stack of prayer cards, books and notes. Rosary in hand, she reserved a day of the week for each of her kids with Sundays kept for church calling for prayers for family and friends.

She was a talented painter, an avid golfer and could assemble the most complex of puzzles created. She made the most amazing kolachkes cookies, and hosted countless numbers of noteworthy parties with The BIG R. She fought her disease, scleroderma, for years with complete grace – belying the degrees of pain she endured. She was the heart of the house and everything was better when she was present. From the hugs to the bills tucked into your pocket, purse or card ... she always found a way to show her affection.

Her early years working at the FBI as a secretary made for great stories and even longer friendships. As if raising six kids wasn’t enough, she learned to fly a plane, the art of calligraphy, took lessons in hand-writing analysis and could swing a golf club that made you wonder if she could go pro.

In all ways she demonstrated a pureness of heart that makes her passing both painful and a life so rich in love – that it should be used as an example for living. There is no way to fill the huge gap in our lives her passing creates, but we will seek to feel her presence each day we have on earth until we meet again, for there is no love more powerful than a mother’s love.

Visitation will be from 3:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday, July 28, at DeFiore-Jorgensen Funeral Home, 10763 Dundee Road, and from 9 a.m.

Friday, July 29, until the time of the 10 a.m.

STATE Prosecutors: Blagojevich doesn’t deserve leniency

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Prosecutors and attorneys for Rod Blagojevich sharply disagree in new court filings about whether the imprisoned former Illinois governor has taken enough responsibility for his crimes to justify a reduced sentence when he’s resentenced next month.

Additional arguments filed around midnight Monday come two weeks after the defense asked U.S. District Judge James Zagel to slash the original 14-year sentence to five years, meaning the 59-year-old Blagojevich could theoretically go free in months with the four-plus years he’s already served.

Prosecutors, who want the same 14year term Zagel imposed in 2011, said in their new filing that Blagojevich has never accepted he broke the law, including by trying to trade an appointment to the U.S. Senate seat once occupied by President Barack Obama for campaign cash.

Resentencing on Aug. 9 was mandated after a 2015 appeals court decision tossed five of Blagojevich’s 18 corruption convictions on the grounds his attempts to trade an appointment to the Senate seat for an appointment in the Obama administration did not break the law.

Dozens of gang members indicted in Chicago area, Ind.

CHICAGO – Dozens of members of the Latin Kings street gang in the Chicago area and northern Indiana have been arrested on charges of a federal racketeering conspiracy that included arson, beatings, extortion, witness tampering and the attempted murder of a police officer, according to indictments unsealed Tuesday.

Those indicted included leaders, treasurers and enforcers of lucrative Latin Kings chapters. Law enforcement officials told reporters at a news conference in Chicago that the arrests are a blow to the “Almighty Latin King Nation,” whose membership extends nationwide.

Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich speaks to the media outside his home in Chicago as his wife, Patti, wipes away tears a day before he was to report to a prison in 2012 after his conviction on corruption charges. A resentencing hearing is scheduled in August for Blagojevich, who hopes a federal judge will give him a five-year sentence instead of his original 14 years.

The government’s filing cites a statement Blagojevich issued from his prison last year in which he said “fundraising is a part of the job of every politician” and that standards used to convict him

meant “any politician can be jailed at the whim of an ambitious prosecutor.”

Blagojevich, prosecutors’ filing said, “suggested that the crimes of which he remained convicted involved nothing

members and associates, though two defendants didn’t face the conspiracy count.

A related indictment out of Hammond, Indiana, led to charges against an additional 26 people. Only a few of the named defendants eluded arrest, officials said.

Chicago-based U.S. Attorney Zachary Fardon said the Latin Kings have helped fuel persistent violence in Chicago, noting how the crime syndicate’s top brass issued standing orders to kill rivals on sight. “(These) cases are about one thing: violence ... the type of violence that plagues our communities,” he said.

The new filing by the ex-governor’s legal team insists “Blagojevich openly admits that he made mistakes and used extremely poor judgment in the ways he carried out his fund-raising duties.”

It also argued that the five overturned counts call for a sentence reduction.

“The crimes he stands convicted of today are undeniably less severe than the crimes he stood convicted of back in 2011 at his original sentencing hearing,” the filing said. The appeals court, it contends, found Blagojevich never took a bribe and campaign cash on personal items While the appellate court erased five corruption counts, it went out of the way to say the original 14-year sentence could still be considered appropriate and fair for the remaining 13 counts.

The government’s Monday filing challenged the defense’s characterization of the appellate ruling and countered the claim Blagojevich never used campaign cash for personal expenses.

It noted he didn’t donate money left in his election coffers after being forced from office in early 2009, but instead spent much of that money to pay his legal bills.

6-year-old Chicago girl home after being shot in stomach

CHICAGO – A 6-year-old girl who was shot in the stomach while sitting on her front porch last week has been welcomed home from the hospital.

Tacarra Morgan received cake and a new bicycle Monday when she arrived in her West Englewood neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. There also were dozens of balloons and boxes of gifts.

Tacarra was with her mother and grandmother July 19 when someone stepped out of a car and fired about two dozen shots. A bullet struck the girl as she tried to get inside the house. She is one of several children struck by bullets in Chicago this year.

She was released from Comer Children’s Hospital on Monday. Chicago police officers and relatives decorated the front of her house with pink ribbons and a “Welcome Home Tacarra” sign.

Last charges dropped in case over Planned Parenthood videos

HOUSTON – Texas prosecutors on Tuesday dropped the last remaining charges against two California anti-abortion activists who made undercover videos of themselves trying to buy fetal tissue from Planned Parenthood, agreeing with the defense’s argument that the grand jury exceeded its authority by investigating the activists after clearing Planned Parenthood of wrongdoing.

District Judge Brock Thomas dismissed the tampering with government records charges against David Daleiden, 27, and Sandra Merritt, 63, at the request of the Harris County prosecutor’s office.

“The grand jury took the investigation where the facts led it; however, Texas law limits what can be investigated after a grand jury extension order is issued,” District Attorney Devon Anderson said in a statement. “In light of this and after careful research and review, this office dismissed the indictments.”

Two suicide car bombs near U.N. offices kill 13 in Somalia

MOGADISHU, Somalia – Two suicide bombers detonated explosives-laden cars Tuesday outside the office of the U.N.’s mine-clearing agency and a Somali army checkpoint in Mogadishu, killing 13 people, including seven guards, Somali police officials said.

The blasts occurred near the African Union base in the area of the Mogadishu airport, Somali police chief Gen. Mohamed Sheikh Hassan said.

Somalia’s Islamic extremist rebels, al-Shabab, claimed responsibility, according to the group’s Andalus radio station.

Unlike previous attacks by the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab, gunmen did not accompany the suicide bomber, police Capt.

Mohamed Hussein said. The first suicide bomber tried to speed through the barrier at the U.N. office, but guards shot at the car, he said.

Hillary Clinton wins historic nomination

By JULIE PACE and CATHERINE LUCEY The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA – On a night awash in history, Hillary Clinton triumphantly became the first woman to lead a major American political party toward the White House, breaking through a barrier that painfully eluded her eight years ago.

She put an electrifying cap on the Democratic convention’s second night, appearing by video from New York and declaring to cheering delegates, “We just put the biggest crack in that glass ceiling yet.”

Minutes earlier, former President Bill Clinton took on the role of devoted political spouse, declaring his wife an impassioned “change-maker” as he served as character witness. He traced their more than 40-year political and personal partnership in deep detail.

“She has been around a long time,” he acknowledged.

Casting her experience as an attribute, he added, “She’s been worth every single year she’s put into making people’s lives better.”

For a man more accustomed to delivering policy-packed stem-winders, Clinton’s heartfelt address underscored the historic night for Democrats, and the nation. If she wins in November, the Clintons would also be the first married couple to each serve as president.

She will take on Donald Trump, who won the Republican nomination a week ago.

Trump, who campaigned Tuesday in North Carolina, mocked the former president’s speech in advance, calling him “overrated.”

At Trump’s convention last week, Clinton was the target of blistering criticism of her character and judgment, a sharp contrast to the warm and passionate woman described by her husband. Seeking to explain the vastly dif-

The former president took voters back to a time before an affair with an intern led to his impeachment – and to intense public scrutiny of the first couple’s marriage. While her aides believe his past transgressions are old news to voters, they have flared up anew at times during the campaign, with Trump often leading the charge.

Bill Clinton headlined the second night of the Democratic convention, a jubilant celebration of her formal nomination for president. In an important move for party unity, her primary rival Bernie Sanders helped make it official when the roll call got to his home state of Vermont, prompting delegates to erupt in cheers. It was a striking parallel to the role Clinton played eight years ago when she stepped to the microphone on the convention floor in Denver in support of her former rival, Barack Obama.

This time, Clinton shattered the glass ceiling she couldn’t crack in 2008.

She leads a party still grappling with divisions. Moments after Clinton claimed the nomination, a group of Sanders supporters left the convention and headed to a media tent to

protest what they said was their being shut out of the party. At the same time, protesters who had spent the day marching in the hot sun began facing off with police.

Trump cheered the disruptions from the campaign trail.

In North Carolina, he told a convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars that, “our politicians have totally failed you.”

Indeed, Clinton’s long political résumé – secretary of state, senator, first lady – has sometimes seemed an odd fit for an electorate deeply frustrated with Washington and eager to rally around unconventional candidates such as Trump and Sanders. Many voters have questions about her character and trustworthiness, suggesting she’s used her access to her personal advantage.

President Clinton spoke after three hours of testimonials from lawmakers, advocates, celebrities and citizens who argued otherwise. Each took the stage to vouch for her commitment to working on health care, children’s issues and gun control.

“Hillary Clinton has the passion and understanding to support grieving mothers,” said Sybrina Fulton, whose son Trayvon Martin was killed in 2012. “She has the courage to lead the fight for commonsense gun legislation.”

‘Anything’s possible’

By RAPHAEL SATTER and JOSH LEDERMAN ment systems, but private systems.”

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Russia may have been behind the leak of hacked Democratic National Committee documents, President Barack Obama said Tuesday in his first public comments on the breach.

Asked whether Moscow was trying to influence the presidential election, Obama said, “Anything’s possible.”

Obama, who traditionally avoids commenting on active FBI investigations, broke with that protocol and noted that outside experts have blamed Russia for the leak. He leaned heavily into the notion that President Vladimir Putin may have reason to facilitate the attack.

“What the motives were in terms of the leaks, all that – I can’t say directly,” Obama told NBC News. “What I do know is that Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed admiration for Vladimir Putin.”

Obama said he was basing his assessment on Trump’s own comments and the fact that the GOP presidential nominee has “gotten pretty favorable coverage back in Russia.” He added that the U.S. knows that “Russians hack our systems – not just govern-

Obama points to Russia on DNC email hack

The FBI hasn’t publicly attributed the attack to Russia, but Democrat Hillary Clinton’s campaign has, suggesting the goal was to benefit Trump’s campaign. A spokesman for Putin on Tuesday called the allegation “paranoid.”

Experts who’ve followed the leak say they agree that Moscow had a hand in the hack, lending weight to the extraordinary allegation that the Kremlin is trying to tamper with the U.S. presidential contest.

“You’re left with all the signs pointing to Moscow,” said Matt Tait, a U.K.based cybersecurity consultant who has put in roughly 20 hours combing through the leaked DNC documents.

Tait and others invoke several categories of evidence. The first was provided by threat intelligence firm CrowdStrike, an Irvine, California, company that was hired by the Democrats to clean out the party’s network.

It delivered a report last month identifying Russia’s intelligence services as being behind two separate electronic break-ins at the DNC. The second category of evidence was provided by electronic fingerprints on some of the documents suggesting the files had been run through Russian language-config-

ured machines.

Most convincing for Tait was evidence that the internet infrastructure tied the DNC hackers to a separate campaign that targeted Germany’s parliament last year. In May, Germany’s domestic intelligence chief took the unusual step of publicly blaming that attack on Moscow, saying the Kremlin wasn’t just spying – it was gearing up for sabotage.

“More than anything else I think (that) really puts to rest the ‘Who is this?’ ” Tait said Tuesday. “It’s one thing to say that they were typing stuff in Russian or they were coming from a Russian IP (internet protocol) address or their systems were configured in Russian. It’s another thing to say this was being run by the same servers being publicly attributed by German intelligence as being Russian.”

Trump tweeted Tuesday that the Democrats were trying to “deflect the horror and stupidity” of the leak, calling the suggestion “crazy!” WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who began publishing thousands of the emails last week, said Monday there’s was “no proof” Russia was behind the hack, and on Tuesday told CNN that “a lot more” material was on its way.

$15B Volkswagen emissions deal clears first hurdle

SAN FRANCISCO – A nearly $15 billion settlement over Volkswagen’s emissions cheating scandal cleared a key hurdle Tuesday, with a federal judge giving preliminary approval to the deal that includes an option for owners to have the carmaker buy back their vehicles.

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer called the settlement an “enormous effort” by attorneys from both sides and urged Volkswagen owners who may want to opt out and pursue their own lawsuits to consider the deal’s environmental achievements.

“Because that’s significant, and that’s part of what you’re attempting to achieve in this settlement,” said Breyer, who is overseeing consumer lawsuits and government allegations that Volkswagen’s diesel engines cheated on U.S. emissions tests.

The German carmaker has agreed to spend up to $10 billion buying back or repairing about 475,000 Volkswagens and Audi vehicles with 2-liter diesel engines and paying their owners an additional $5,100 to $10,000 each.

Smartphone apps for caregivers SPONSORED BY

Adjustable bed platforms

BRIEF

GreatCall has an all-new fitness tracker – the Lively Wearable – with urgent response system.

If you feel faint, have mixed medications, are lost or slipped in the shower, help is just a touch away. The device can be conveniently worn like a watch or on a lanyard around your neck, and thanks to the GreatCall Link app, your family members can connect and enjoy peace of mind knowing where you’re located and that you’re safe.

This new device is just the latest in the smartphone apps for caregivers market, which is a vast one.

The CarePredict Tempo claims to be the first wearable sensor that allows caregivers to identify the small changes and nuances in a senior’s daily activities that could be a precursor to more serious health concerns.

The Tempo learns a seniors normal activities and movements and sends an alert whenever there are any significant variations to those

patterns.

CareZone is especially useful for those who share caregiver roles. It allows them to stay organized by creating a care profile and inviting other loved ones to join in as helpers with s shareable track list and more.

The Comfort Zone Check-In is especially useful for the caregivers of those suffering from Alzheimer’s and related dementia.

Since Alzheimer’s patients are confused and can get lost easily, this app allows caregivers to track them.

MediSafe is a virtual pillbox. Many seniors take multiple medications every day and frequently take them at different times.

While the pharmacist may say, “take your meds as prescribed,” that isn’t necessarily as easy as it sounds. MediSafe makes it less confusing.

There are many more options and certainly will be new ones that come along to help care for the aging population. It’s probably best to sample them before deciding what works best for you as a caregiver.

Two attackers invaded a church during morning Mass, killing an 85-year-old priest by slitting his throat and taking hostages before being shot and killed by police, French officials said.

The nun described seeing the attackers film themselves and give a sermon in Arabic around the altar before she fled. Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said the other hostages were used as human shields to block police from entering. One 86-year-old parishioner was

wounded.

The two attackers were killed by police as they rushed from the building shouting “Allahu Akbar,” Molins said.

One had three knives and a fake explosives belt; the other carried a kitchen timer wrapped in aluminum foil and

SAINT-ETIENNE-DU-ROUVRAY, France – The Islamic State group crossed a new threshold Tuesday in its war against the West, as two of its followers targeted a church in Normandy, slitting the throat of an elderly priest celebrating Mass and using hostages as human shields before being shot by police.

It was the extremist group’s first attack against a church in the West, and fulfills long-standing threats against “crusaders” in what the militants paint as a centuries-old battle for power. One of the attackers had tried twice to leave for Syria; the second was not identified.

“To attack a church, to kill a priest, is to profane the republic,” French President Francois Hollande told the nation after speaking with Pope Francis, who condemned the killing in the strongest terms.

The Rev. Jacques Hamel was celebrating Mass for three nuns and two parishioners on a quiet summer morning in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray when the attackers burst in and forced the 85-year-old priest to his knees before slicing his throat, according to authorities and a nun who escaped.

had fake explosives in his backpack.

One of the assailants was identified as Adel Kermiche, a 19-year-old who grew up in the town and tried to travel to Syria twice last year using family members’ identity documents, but was arrested outside France and handed preliminary terrorism charges.

Kermiche was put under house arrest with an electronic surveillance bracelet after a judge overruled prosecutors and agreed to free him, Molins said. However, the bracelet was deactivated for a few hours every morning as part of the surveillance agreement, Molins said – hours that corresponded to the time of Tuesday’s attack.

A statement published by the IS-affiliated Amaq news agency said Tuesday’s attack was carried out by “two soldiers of the Islamic State” who acted in response to calls to target nations in the U.S.-led coalition fighting the extremist group in Iraq and Syria.

Haras Rafiq, managing director of the Quilliam Foundation, described the attack as a turning point. “What these two people today have done is ... shifted the tactical attack to the attack on Rome ... an attack on Christianity,” he said.

He warned that it could “radicalize people from both sides of the communities. Muslim and non-Muslim.”

ANOTHER VIEW

Politicians happy with status quo A judge’s ruling last Wednesday placed another hurdle in the way of Illinois voters electing their representatives, instead of politicians picking their constituents.

The battle now moves to the Illinois Supreme Court, which is being asked to rule quickly so the issue still may be placed on the November ballot.

Although there are legal issues, the real message here is a lot of politicians are perfectly happy with the status quo.

The Legislature basically draws the political maps, meaning Democrats who control the Statehouse are guaranteed to maintain their majority.

Despite complaining about the system and judge’s ruling, many Republicans are in comfortable districts and have little or no election competition. They scream but take little real action. The legal challenge that was successful was brought by an ally of House Speaker Michael Madigan.

The result of this gerrymandering has been most elections for the House and Senate this year are uncontested. That’s not because everyone is happy with the job our politicians are doing. As a group, they have overseen the sinking of our state into a financial laughingstock.

The decision last week illustrates how difficult it is for Illinois voters to change the Constitution. Strike difficult; it’s virtually impossible.

Collecting the necessary signatures and having them verified is one obstacle, but the legal interpretations of the Constitution have turned into an insurmountable wall.

Of course, the General Assembly could pay heed to its constituents and place redistricting reform on the ballot. Instead, our politicians play games. During the last session, both the House and Senate approved different measures disguised as redistricting reform. Since the same wording wasn’t approved by both chambers, nothing gets on the ballot.

It’s now up to the seven justices on the Supreme Court to right this wrong. They should hear the expedited appeal and their ruling should be on the side of voters, instead of protecting the jobs of elected officials.

ANOTHER VIEW

Putin’s suspected meddling in election Credit for the internecine furor that disrupted the Democratic Party on the eve of its convention should go to Vladimir Putin.

As The Washington Post has reported, cybersecurity experts say Russian intelligence operatives likely were responsible for the hacking of the Democratic National Committee’s computer network, as well as for leaking to the Moscow-friendly WikiLeaks website about 20,000 emails. The trove appeared online Friday, just in time to create discord between supporters of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders as they headed to Philadelphia.

Putin’s regime has tried to intervene in the internal politics of numerous European countries, from Ukraine and Moldova to Italy and France. But the evident attempt to meddle in a U.S. presidential election is a first. That may reflect the reckless aggressiveness Putin has embraced in

foreign affairs since returning to the presidency in 2012. It likely also reveals Moscow’s judgment it stands to reap a geopolitical windfall if Donald Trump is elected president.

The potential benefits Trump offers to Putin have been clearly and repeatedly spelled out by the candidate himself. Russia’s most cherished goal is to weaken or destroy NATO; Trump has called the alliance obsolete. Putin dreams of reestablishing dominion over the pieces of the Soviet Union; Trump has said he might not defend former Soviet republics Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania if Russia invaded, despite their NATO membership. Putin wants the U.S. to treat Russia as an equal superpower with its own acknowledged sphere of influence; Trump repeatedly has praised Putin and promised to work with him.

This pro-Kremlin tilt is

unprecedented in the Republican Party and would represent a radical and dangerous shift in U.S. policy.

Whether there are nonpolitical reasons for it is a fair question. Trump is known to have sought business repeatedly in Russia, and his son Donald Jr. has said “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets.” Because Trump will not release his tax returns or business records, the full extent of his financial interests in Russia remains unclear.

Some political analysts doubt KGB-style tricks ultimately will sway votes in a wide-open U.S. election – especially as Moscow barely has bothered to disguise its authorship. Yet the fact that Putin is trying is remarkable and disturbing – as is the motivation Trump has given him to meddle.

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.

IT’S YOUR WRITE

Protest all murders

To the Editor: I realize the topic of police shootings is a hot button for many. But I have an issue with the protests. It is not so much that “some” police offices are too ready to shoot. My main point is every day some citizen in our state is shot. Be it drive-by, targeted, random or domestic, there are people murdered. There needs to be a protest for each and every murder. Gun owners should want to protest those who misuse firearms. Many more citizens need to stand up to the “all one way, our way” of the NRA. From the Constitution on, we have compromised for the good of all citizens, from the first 10 amendments to the 27th Amendment, which says Congress can’t vote for its pay raise. My point is, a group can’t have it “all my way.” What we need to have happen is a protest for each murder that takes place each day.

Back Franks’ Cut10 plan

To the Editor: I love it when a politician comes to the campaign with a plan, and Jack Franks has done this with his Cut10 campaign, a very simple idea that asks every taxing body in McHenry County to cut its levy 10 percent. As a rule of thumb, taxing bodies should not have more than eight months of operating expenses in reserve.

If the Northwest Herald did a Freedom of Information Act request on all taxing bodies, it would be very informative for

One of my best friends from high school was working on the Biden campaign back then. Biden’s initial reaction to being discovered wasn’t one of shame but rather to have my buddy conduct research on the Biden family tree to find a coal miner.

Preserve last Christian country

To the Editor: Northwest Herald, why so one-sided?

The most respected journalism presents both sides of issues. Why the Northwest Herald continues to devote half-page hatchet pieces every two days on Donald Trump is beyond comprehension. The Cynthia Tucker/Margaret Thatcher pieces are lame journalism with no facts. Isn’t the bigger story how the most (proven in court last week) dishonest and corrupt politician in national politics is even able to run for president? More disturbing is liberals don’t even care.

Donald Trump is the Republican candidate because both liberals and conservatives have failed America these past eight years. Barack Obama is the first president in history to never reach even 3 percent GDP growth. Do we really want to keep running the course with liberalism? An ideology that sees the Constitution as an annoyance and has no need for Christian liberty?

Wake up, people. America is the last Christian country on the planet. Is there

Plagiarism is a common transgression.

When I was a student, I worked with a writer for a prestigious publication who stole quotes from the Chicago Tribune. When I told my journalism professor of the man’s literary trespasses, I was met with a shrug.

Years later, I was a weekend editor at a Midwestern newspaper when I was editing a story from a reporter whose usual prose was an assault on the English language.

I rewrote sentence after sentence on a story about an annual festival. Then suddenly I found myself liking what I read.

I read several paragraphs without changing a thing. I found myself saying, “Maybe she’s getting better. She wrote it the way I would.”

Then it occurred to me, I had written it. She had cribbed the words from the festival story I had written the year before. When I confronted the reporter, I was greeted with a blank, non-comprehending stare.

“Thou shall not steal,” may be the Eighth Commandment, but when it comes to words, schools, parents and society as a whole are doing a poor job of teaching write from wrong.

SPRINGFIELD – I’ve never quite understood the appeal of plagiarism.

Is it laziness or a lack of creativity that motivates people to steal from someone else?

Maybe it is both.

Plagiarism came to the forefront recently when someone writing a speech for Melania Trump stole the words of Michelle Obama.

Some folks blame Melania for cheating, not the speechwriter.

They can’t forbear the idea of a possible presidential spouse being a cheater. I guess that’s why they are supporting Hillary Clinton. After all, her spouse would never cheat, now would he?

But stealing someone else’s words is hardly a new phenomenon. Back in 1988, Joe Biden cribbed the speech of

McDonald’s sales disappoint in U.S.

All-day breakfast not enough to overcome declines

By CANDICE CHOI

The Associated Press NEW YORK – McDonald’s is again looking for ways to win back customers, less than a year after launching a widely touted all-day breakfast menu that makes Egg McMuffins available around the clock.

The world’s biggest burger chain said sales rose a disappointing 1.8 percent at established U.S. locations for the three months ended June 30. That’s even with the benefits from all-day breakfast, which began in October.

During the company’s earnings call Tuesday, CEO Steve Easterbrook, who is fighting to reverse three years of declining customer visits to U.S. outlets, promised “even more news” soon related to McDonald’s push to improve the image of its food.

But the efforts to catch up to changing tastes come at a tough time for the restaurant industry.

Heightened competition will likely limit sales growth for companies, Jefferies analyst Andy Barish said.

He noted that people’s options for eating out or dining in “have increased tremendously,” particularly with the emergence of smaller chains and inde-

McDonald’s reported financial results Tuesday in, including sales rising a disappointing 1.8 percent at established U.S. locations for the three months that ended June 30. pendent concepts.

That has prompted chains to push more deals in the fight for customers.

Wendy’s has been promoting a “4 for $4” meal deal, while Burger King recently said it would start a promotion for $1 hot dogs.

McDonald’s Chief Financial Officer Kevin Ozan noted that grocery prices are expected to be flat to up about 1 percent for the year, while the cost of eating out is expected to rise by up to 3.5 percent.

Last week, Dunkin’ Donuts said its customer traffic slipped after franchisees hiked menu prices to make up for higher labor costs. Starbucks said traf-

fic was flat from a year ago, and that its results were pressured by weakening consumer confidence and political uncertainty – a sentiment echoed by McDonald’s.

That’s the environment McDonald’s is trying to navigate while confronting one of its most fundamental problems: the perception that its burgers and fries are processed junk food. Already, the company has switched to butter from margarine for its Egg McMuffins, and is testing Chicken McNuggets made without artificial preservatives.

At its restaurants, McDonald’s is also trying to increase speed and cut down on wrong orders – one of the

biggest reasons for unhappy customers. Easterbrook cited the potential of self-order kiosks and the McDonald’s mobile app to take out “many of those human interactions where complications can arise.”

In the meantime, McDonald’s still appears to be struggling to attract more customers. It said the sales bump in the most recent quarter reflected a 3 percent price increase and people ordering items that tend to cost more.

But McDonald’s noted that it was the fourth straight quarter in which comparable-store sales rose in the U.S., despite “softening industry growth.”

To boost results, McDonald’s also has been closing underperforming stores. It ended last year with fewer stores in the U.S., its first contraction after decades of expansion. It is on track to shrink its domestic store base of more than 14,000 again this year.

Globally, McDonald’s said sales rose 3.1 percent at established locations.

That included a 2.6 percent increase in the division that includes established markets such as the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. The highgrowth segment, which includes China and Russia, saw a 1.6 percent increase.

For the quarter, McDonald’s earned $1.09 billion, or $1.25 per share, including a 20-cent negative effect from restructuring charges. Analysts expected $1.39 per share, not including one-time items.

Total sales were $6.27 billion, in line with Wall Street forecasts, according to FactSet.

PHILADELPHIA – Comedian Sarah Silverman didn’t mince words in her message to die-hard Bernie Sanders supporters at the Democratic convention: “Can I just say to the Bernie or bust people, you’re being ridiculous.”

Silverman was one of a number of prominent entertainers who backed Sanders in the Democratic primary against Hillary Clinton. But she told the crowd in Philadelphia – and a national television audience – that she plans to vote for Clinton.

Minnesota Sen. Al Franken noted that because he was a Clinton backer and Silverman was with Sanders, they were forming a bridge. “We’re like a bridge over troubled water,” he said.

Company guilty in accident that broke Ford’s leg

Kanye West accepts the video vanguard award at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. West will compete for the top prize at this year’s awards for his controversial “Famous” video.

Beyoncé, Adele, Kanye West earn top nominations at MTV VMAs NEW YORK – Beyoncé and Adele are the top nominees at the MTV Video Music Awards, where their music videos will compete against Kanye West’s controversial “Famous” for video of the year.

“Famous,” Beyoncé’s “Formation” and Adele’s “Hello” will battle Justin Bieber’s “Sorry” and Drake’s “Hotline Bling” for the top prize when the VMAs air live Aug. 28 from New York’s Madison Square Garden. The nominations were announced Tuesday.

West’s infamous “Famous” features what appears to be naked images of the rapper and other celebrities, including Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, Donald Trump and Bill Cosby. The song is at the center of his current war with Swift: Kardashian recently leaked audio of Swift giving West her blessing after he told her the lyric, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex.”

But Swift later said she was upset because West did not play her the entire track or tell her the full lyric regarding her, which included the line, “Why? I made that bitch famous.”

Beyoncé, though, is the overall VMA leader with 11 nominations – marking a career best for the pop diva, who released her Emmy-nominated “Lemonade” visual album this year. Adele is behind her with eight nominations.

The songstresses will compete for best female video along with Rihanna, Sia and Ariana Grande.

West is nominated for best male video against Drake, the Weeknd, Bryson Tiller and Calvin Harris, whose nomination is for “This is What You Came For,” which he co-wrote with former girlfriend Swift.

LONDON – A film production company on Tuesday admitted health and safety breaches over an accident on the set of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” that broke the leg of star Harrison Ford.

The actor was struck by a hydraulic door on the set of the Millennium Falcon – his character Han Solo’s spaceship – at Pinewood Studios near London in June 2014. He was airlifted to a hospital for surgery.

During a hearing at Milton Keynes Magistrates’ Court in Britain, prosecutor Andrew Marshall said the door “could have killed somebody” had an emergency stop button not been hit. Britain’s Health and Safety Executive said the metal-framed door struck Ford with a power comparable to the weight of a small car.

Foodles Production Ltd., which is owned by the Walt Disney Co., admitted two breaches of health and safety law, although its lawyer, Angus Withington, said Foodles would contest the level of risk involved.

Florida Georgia Line said in a statement Tuesday it was “redundant” to use local authorities when security was already present, and added that “nothing is more important than our fans’ safety.”

Banishing ‘bikini body’

Some fitness experts seek to end drill-sergeant putdowns

By KELLI KENNEDY

The Associated Press

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – My grandmother can do more push-ups than you. No one wants to see jiggly cellulite hanging out of a bikini. You need to make up for all those cookies you ate last night.

While those kinds of drill sergeant-style putdowns and body-shaming warnings long have been a part of many fitness classes across the country, some instructors and researchers are promoting a change of message aimed at empowering clients, relieving stress and fueling students with confidence.

“Body shaming and focusing on appearance and comparing yourself to other people, we absolutely know that’s harmful for women,” said Renee Engeln, a Northwestern University psychology professor who has been studying messaging in fitness classes.

“The more you’re exercising to look good or to lose weight, the less you tend to enjoy it, the less you tend to stick with it. Whereas women who exercise because of how it makes them feel – healthier, stronger, less stressed – they tend to get more out of exercise and they tend to stick with it longer.”

She recently surveyed hundreds of women who worked out in various types of classes and asked them to list their least favorite motivating comments. Around half said they hated comments that focused on appearance. Topping the list of loathed comments were those urging women to get a bikini body, look like a celebrity or endure punishment to atone for yesterday’s dessert.

“You still go into most group fitness classes, and the lowest common denominator conversation is like ‘bikini body ladies, July Fourth is around the corner, what did you eat last night?’ ” said Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, a New York fitness instructor and assistant professor of history at The New School who has been studying feminism and group fitness.

Sadie Kurzban, owner of New York’s 305 Fitness, a dance workout with a live DJ, said such messages from instructors ultimately are counterproductive for clients, some of

Kurzban, who leads a hip-hop dance workout with a live DJ, says drill sergeant-style putdowns and body-shaming comments from instructors are ultimately counterproductive for clients, some of whom already have body insecurities. whom already have body insecurities.

“When a fitness instructor shouts something to us at a class, it’s very emotionally charged,” Kurzban said.

“As instructors we have this deep power to either build people up, empower them, give them a message that’s really about their choice, their bodies, their lives or about shaming or putting them down.”

But it’s a difficult shift for instructors to make, particularly because the lingo is so ingrained not just in the fitness world, but with the rise of social media, where body photos relentlessly are dissected.

The instructors in the Northwestern study denied making these types of comments, “but the women we surveyed were like, ‘no, we hear it a lot.’

So there’s a real disconnect there,” Engeln said.

Elaine Lewinnek said she eventually stopped going to a barre studio near her home in Encinitas, California, because she was sick of all the talk about getting a bikini body.

While the 42-year-old mother of two and professor at California State University said she exercises in part for vanity, she said it’s mainly about taking a moment for her herself and being inspired by others, such as “the 80-year-old doing a headstand in yoga class.”

“I don’t work out to try to look like a Barbie doll. I work out to feel strong and healthy,” Lewinnek said.

New York trainer Kira Stokes says a full workout goes beyond the physical. Clients also are looking for emotional support.

“A lot of it is reading the people in the room and saying that woman’s

shoulders are rounded forward, she won’t look at herself in the mirror.

The last thing she needs to hear is for someone to say, ‘What kind of posture is that, get your shoulders back.’ .... You’re there to make people feel really good, and that doesn’t include tearing people down while you’re trying to build them up,” Stokes said.

Petrzela created Link Together, Lead Together to unite fitness instructors to better use their platforms to help women. The group has had three events in New York and Los Angeles in the past year, with more than 100 instructors attending.

The idea, she says, is to “raise our awareness about the words we are using in our studios and ... see ourselves as vanguards of a new conversation rather just amplifying the old one which is pretty disempowering.”

“The problem is, when you are out of sight, you can be out of mind,” said Fennell, adding that infant and toddler seats now are rear-facing.

The numbers of heatstroke deaths of kids in cars fluctuated in the following decades, averaging 37 such deaths a year since 1998. Last year, with about two dozen deaths, was an unusually low year. The worst was 2010, with 49, according to both a count by Fennell and Jan Null, a research meteorologist at San Jose State University, who also tracks numbers.

Not surprisingly, states with warm climates all year and large populations had the most hot car deaths since 1990. Fennell said there have

DALLAS – The deaths of four children in hot cars in recent days has brought the number across the U.S. this year to at least 23, nearly matching the total for all of last year and prompting experts to plead for vigilance and warn parents it can happen to anyone.

“It just breaks your heart,” said Janette Fennell, founder and president of KidsAndCars.org, a national child safety nonprofit based in Philadelphia. “We’ve done so much to try to get the word out and maybe that’s why last year was down a bit, but this year is not looking very good.”

Four-year-old Samaria Motyka died Friday in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, after her caregiver drove to work instead of taking her to day care. In Dallas, 2-year-old Boi Lei Sang died after being left in a hot car in a parking lot Sunday while his family was in church.

Fennell, whose organization tracks such deaths, said the number began dramatically rising in the 1990s with the passing of laws requiring young children be placed in the back seat to avoid air-bag injuries.

“It happens to the very best of parents,” Fennell said. Sleep-deprived parents become distracted because of a change in routine or thinking about what needs to be done at work.

30 Cancer treatments offer risks and benefits Dear Dr. K: I survived cancer, only to be told the treatments that saved my life might have increased my risk for cardiovascular disease. What are the risks? And can I minimize them?

Dear Reader: As more people are living longer after a cancer diagnosis, more people are coping with the long-term effects of cancer treatment. Many cancer-suppressing treatments can have undesirable effects, for example, on the heart and blood vessels.

I spoke to my colleague Dr. John Groarke, a cardio-oncologist at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Experts in this field focus on promoting heart health in people with cancer, both during and after their treatment. He noted, as with most treatments, there are some risks as well as benefits – and the possible risks always need to be balanced against the benefits.

There can be adverse effects from cancer treatments on the heart and blood vessels, ranging from negligible to very serious. Of course, I don’t know what treatments you received, so I’m able to make only general statements.

People treated during childhood or after age 65 are more prone to heart issues from cancer therapy. And certain chemotherapy drugs are more harmful than others.

Newer, targeted cancer therapies tend to have fewer side effects than older chemo drugs. But these newer drugs, which disable genes or proteins cancer cells need to grow, also can affect cells in the heart and blood vessels and diminish the heart’s pumping power.

Another group of targeted therapy drugs slow the growth of new blood vessels that feed tumors. But they also may raise blood pressure and prevent the growth of new blood vessels in parts of the heart that are starved for blood.

Heart damage from radiation therapy to the chest usually takes years to show

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff up. Radiation can cause heart tissue to scar or stiffen. This might lead to valve or heart rhythm disorders, coronary artery disease or heart muscle disease. Women with breast cancer who receive radiation therapy face a slightly higher risk of a heart attack.

Heart dangers are magnified in cancer survivors who: • received both chemotherapy and radiation; • have recurrent cancer; • have pre-existing heart disease.

As for what you can do, medications can help prevent or treat heart effects from chemotherapy. All cancer survivors should stay vigilant for any new cardiovascular symptoms. If you experience shortness of breath, weakness, fatigue or a rapid, irregular heartbeat during or after treatment, report them to your doctor right away.

You already have had cancer and received treatment. For other readers who may be told in the future they have cancer, here are some direct questions to discuss with a doctor: Will the treatment cure the cancer or just postpone death? If it won’t be a cure, by how long will it postpone death? Will treatment improve cancer symptoms, now or in the future? And what are the side effects of treatment, including, but not limited to, heart problems?

Of course, the doctor’s answers only can be estimates. But people need that information to know which choice is right for them.

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

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY I am a single mother of two Jeanne biracial daughPhillips ters, ages 2 and 4.

They fill my life with joy, and I am thankful to be their mother.

My problem is, I haven’t been able to face my family members since the birth of my second child.

My family has strong Christian roots, and I know they were disappointed when they heard about another unplanned pregnancy. This isn’t the first time I have disappointed them. I smoked a lot of marijuana as a teen and young adult. I straightened out my life during my late 20s.

I miss my family very much, and I also feel my children are missing out by not knowing them. My parents passed away many years ago. My children’s father was beaten to death days before my youngest daughter was born.

My aunts and uncles are all I have left, and it breaks my heart to think we have lost them, too. How should I handle this without getting my heart broken? – Mississippi Mommy Dear Mommy: Did these aunts and uncles have children, or are they childless? If you have cousins, consider reaching out to them first, because their views might be less conservative than their parents’. If your family’s Christian roots are as strong as you say they are, they should be both welcoming and forgiving, and embrace your children in their loving family circle.

However, if they are not, then it would be better for your little girls if they were not exposed to them. I have advised in the past sometimes people have to live their own lives and create their own families. If your relatives are rejecting, that is what you will have to do, not only for your daughters’ sake but also for your own.

Dear Abby: I have been getting together with a group of ladies for many years now. Husbands and boyfriends are welcome but rarely come. We enjoy meeting at each other’s houses and at restaurants every few months.

We are having a problem with one member, “Gail,” who is envious of “Rose,” a still-beautiful former model. Gail has been making remarks Rose “must have had work done” on her face to be able to retain her looks for so long. (I think it is a combination of good genes, sunscreen and incredible bone structure.)

What Rose has or hasn’t done is none of Gail’s business. Rose is aware of Gail’s jealousy, and it puts a damper on our good times and our caring attitudes toward each other. We wish Gail would drop out. Have you any ideas on how we can deal with this problem? – Club

TIGERS HAVE NEW DIRECTION

Crystal Lake Central optimistic with new offense, maturing talent

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com When the Crystal Lake Central football team missed the playoffs last season, it was only the second time the Tigers hadn’t made it to the postseason in the past decade. It was a season hampered by injuries to key players that left the Tigers thin across the depth chart.

If anything positive came from Central’s 4-5 season, it was that a number of younger players got thrown right into the trials of varsity football.

“I hope it helps me,” junior quarterback Jake Staples said recently with a laugh. Staples came up and played the final four games last season (three losses and one win). “I know it’ll help because last year I hadn’t seen anything.

So hopefully I took those lumps hard last year and those are kind of gone this year. … I think all of us definitely learned something last year that’ll help

us this year, I know for a fact.”

The Tigers are hoping those bits of experience will make for a smooth transition as those players, many of them now juniors, take on a bigger role this season.

“You’re always concerned because the kids are younger, young kids make mistakes, but hopefully a lot of them have some seasoning to them already where we should be past that and we just have a handful of kids that haven’t been in that situation before,” head coach Jon McLaughlin said.

In addition to the maturing talent, Central also added a new, well-respected play caller in longtime Marian Central assistant coach Dirk Stanger.

In December, Stanger was hired as Central’s offensive coordination and tasked with swapping out the power run game of last season for the spread attack he used so effectively over 13 seasons with the Hurricanes.

“To be honest, it couldn’t be better,”

Stanger said. “Coach McLaughlin has been very patient with us as an offense and the ability to develop and grow and understand the offense throughout the summer. I feel good with where we’re at here coming toward the end of the summer and the players and the administration, everybody’s been awesome. I can’t say enough and really enjoying it.”

Helping ease the transition further is a pre-existing connection between coach and quarterback. Staples said he’s known and worked with Stanger since middle school and was at one point considering attending Marian Central. Staples has watched hours of film on Stanger’s offense as run by the multiple Division-I quarterbacks he mentored at Marian Central.

Staples said that coming up late in the season last year made it tough to assume the type of leadership role that Crystal Lake Central running back Braden

“He’s definitely got some intangibles for quarterbacks just as far as the moxie and the leadership, you can tell the guys rally around him,” Stanger said. “For a while, I’ve been able to know what Jake can do physically, as a quarterback, very good athlete, very smart kid.”

Staples, however, is just one of six or seven members of the 2018 class who already have varsity experience.

The most sizable figure in the junior class is offensive tackle Wyatt Blake, entering his third year on varsity and holding multiple Division-I scholarship offers. McLaughlin calls Blake, “A great piece to build around. He has size, strength, he has fantastic feet and he just keeps getting better and better.”

Nate Jones recorded the final out of the eighth inning, and closer David Robertson – who gave up three homers against the Tigers in his last outing Sunday, pitched a perfect ninth for his 24th save.

The Sox, wearing their 1983 throwback uniforms in every game of their current winning streak, jumped to a 1-0 lead against Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks (9-7, 2.39 ERA) in the first inning on Jose Abreu’s RBI single, scoring Eaton (walk). Eaton homered in the fifth, and the Sox pushed across

left-hander Travis Wood walked J.B. Shuck, Dioner Navarro and Tyler Saladino in succession. Saladino was the hero in the Sox’ 5-4 with a walk-off RBI single in the ninth inning.

The Sox are 4-0 since Chris Sale was sent home before his scheduled start Saturday for tearing up the Sox’ 1976 throwback uniforms they were supposed to wear that night. They wore the 1983s instead, and haven’t stopped because of the winning streak.

“Can’t wear them tomorrow [as visitors at Wrigley Field],’’ Ventura said.

“If we could, we would. But we can’t, so we won’t.’’

With the shutout, the Sox avoided the Cubs new closer, Aroldis Chapman. Chapman was acquired Monday in a trade with the New York Yankees.

sive end and linebacker Cade Keenan.

“He’s a very hard worker, very kind of blue collar type kid, who is a grinder and a worker and has an urge to be successful,” McLaughlin said.

Others such as Richard Logan and Braden Bisram are versatile enough to play on both sides of the ball and saw spot action on varsity last season as well.

“I feel like we, especially our 2018 class, I think within the last year we had probably six or seven guys that were getting time in games at the varsity level,” Staples said. “I think that helps out a lot, just transferring to this season. And then guys like (senior) Vinny May, he stepped up a lot, probably our leader I’d say.”

Assessing the talent as an outsider coming in fresh, Stanger said he sees a good balance of ability and experience.

“It’s a pretty good mix,” Stanger said. “There are some senior kids who are very good football players and

can actually contribute at a number of different positions. Then you throw in the juniors that had varsity experience, which they’re basically in the same boat as the seniors. And then the kids that are coming up to the varsity for the first time, a lot of talented kids, Christian Crociata, Daniel Manning, there’s some pretty good players that develop in that class.”

Next comes the challenge of turning that talent into results against a newlook Fox Valley Conference.

“The thing that kind of remains to be seen with these guys is now in the past they weren’t playing Cary-Grove, Huntley and Jacobs every year,” Stanger said. “We know that’s going to be a completely different level of very good teams that we’re going to be going against. It’s just a matter of coming out, understanding the speed of the game and then being able to compete with some of the better teams in this conference.”

“Great few days training w/ Chargers kicker @JoshuaLambo2 this week! This guy has set himself up for a huge season!”

- @tmehlhaff10 (Taylor Mehlhaff, kicking coach, on Chargers kicker Josh Lambo, who grew up in Crystal Lake)

CHICAGO – James Shields pitched 72/3 scoreless innings of four-hit ball, and Adam Eaton connected for his seventh homer of the season Tuesday to power the suddenly streaking White Sox to a 3-0 victory over the Cubs at U.S. Cellular Field.

The victory, the Sox’ second in as many nights against their crosstown rival and fourth in a row, raised their record to 50-50. It was the first time the Cubs were shut out since May 31. The interleague city series shifts to Wrigley Field on Wednesday and Thursday.

Shields (5-12) worked around four walks while striking out five to win for the first time since beating the Yankees July 4, halting a streak of three straight losses despite his effective performances.

“He’s Big Game James,’’ Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “This was another one that we needed and he came through for us.’’

Shields, who threw a season-high 117 pitches, has allowed two runs or fewer in each of his last six starts after giving up three runs in five innings at Fenway Park on June 23, a start that began his process of getting back on track after a disastrous start with the Sox. Shields allowed 22 over 82/3 innings in his first three starts after the Sox acquired him in a trade with the San Diego Padres.

“Just attacking hitters and trying to get ahead in the count,’’ said Shields, who made 217 starts for Cubs manager Joe Maddon when they were together with the Tampa Bay Rays. “That’s a

Cubs-Sox and a tale of 2 pitchers VIEWS Rick Telander You go to a ballgame, and a drama-fest that has nothing to do with the actual playing of baseball breaks out.

Hello, Cubs-White Sox! Maybe it’s something they feed stud pitchers.

Maybe it’s inherent lunacy that comes with a 105-mph fastball or a left-handed slider that breaks like a bottle rocket.

I don’t know.

You want to do some mental studies on Sox superstar Chris Sale and new Cubs reliever Aroldis Chapman, be my guest.

The White Sox 3-0 win Tuesday night at U.S. Cellular Field, giving them a 2-games-to-none lead over the Cubs, pales in comparison to the drama off the field.

All we can say for sure is that the emotion and intrigue surrounding Sale’s bizarre Edward Scissorshand’s-mutilation of last Saturday’s Sox throwback game jerseys (earning him a five-game suspension) and Chapman’s alleged domestic violence and firearm shooting last October (for which he was suspended 30 games by MLB) have dwarfed the reality of this four-game battle of crosstown rivals.

The issues in a large nutshell: Sale, who is the best pitcher in the American League and maybe all of baseball, has acted so defiantly and juvenilely and oddly by destroying the (admittedly hideous) jerseys of (word has it) seven teammates, plus his own, that his manager, Robin Ventura, almost assuredly will be let go this year.

That’s right. Sale’s act of clothing violence – sources say it was done with a training room tape-cutter – makes it pretty clear that Ventura

Good guys, those Cubs! Character guys all around!

Right.

This is the Faustian deal that has only one controversial justification – winning the World Series.

There is no other way the Cubs can absolve the deal.

And even then, envision Chapman striking out the last batter in the seventh game of the World Series as pandemonium descends on Cubdom. You know who you’re cheering for, right?

You know what you asked for, right?

Enjoy your hero.

Pessimist: Still not recovered from offseason surgery, McPhee will get off to a slow start in training camp, struggle through the preseason and then rush back and hobble through the regular season with minimal impact.

NFL BRIEF Falcons release return specialist Devin Hester before camp

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. – Star return specialist Devin Hester was released by the Atlanta Falcons on Tuesday after an injury-shortened 2015 season.

The 33-year-old Hester is a three-time All-Pro who set an NFL record with 20 career returns for touchdowns. He began his career with the Bears before signing a three-year, $9 million deal with Atlanta before the 2014 season.

A turf toe injury knocked out most of his season in 2015. He had 269 total

return yards during the last five games of the year.

He had surgery in January, preventing him from full participation in offseason workouts.

General manager Thomas Dimitroff said the decision to release Hester – two days before the first practice of training camp – was about more than the toe injury.

“He passed his physical,” Dimitroff said Tuesday. “It was a football decision for us at the very end. Not to be evasive about it, we wish him all the luck.”

Dowell Loggains’ offense Optimist: Loggains’ familiarity with

Cutler and his greater emphasis on the run game will give the Bears a diversified offense that can keep defenses on their heels, which will help Kevin White, Jeremy Langford, Whitehair and other young players ease into key roles.

Pessimist: With too many new players and young players, the Bears will struggle to establish the run, preventing Cutler from getting into the groove he needs to avoid untimely mishaps. They will miss Forte, Slauson and even Bennett.

The rookies Optimist: With contributions from top

(Floyd, Whitehair) to bottom (Jordan Howard, Deandre Houston-Carson, Daniel Braverman), this will be the Bears’ best rookie draft class since 2004.

The upgrade on special-teams alone will make GM Ryan Pace look good.

Pessimist: With Floyd struggling to get on the field, let alone make an impact, the Bears will have few, if any, difference-makers out of this group of rookies. The biggest impact will be on special teams.

franchise tag that will pay him $14.6 million guaranteed this season, a laser-focused Jeffery (78 receptions, 1,217 yards, 12 TDs) will play every game and take advantage of Kevin White’s emergence as a difference-making receiver to post Calvin Johnson-like numbers and eclipse A.J. Green as the highest-paid receiver in football.

Pessimist: Unhappy with the dreaded franchise tag and unable to stay healthy, a sullen Jeffery (56-756, 4 TDs) will be hit-and-miss all-season, lose interest as White emerges as Jay Cutler’s No. 1 target and sign with the Carolina Panthers in the offseason.

GOLF: PGA

Baltusrol last shot for ’16 major for McIlroy, Spieth

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD, N.J. – Rory McIlroy took stock of his game and the shots required at Baltusrol and reached a most logical conclusion Tuesday. He believes the PGA Championship will be his best chance this year to win a major.

He overlooked the obvious. It now is his only chance this year to win a major.

McIlroy is not alone.

Except for the three players who have achieved the ultimate in golf this year by winning majors – Danny Willett at the Masters, Dustin Johnson at the U.S. Open and Henrik Stenson at the British Open – the PGA Championship is all they have left.

The focus starts with McIlroy, Jordan Spieth and Jason Day. They began the year as the modern version of the “Big Three” because they had captured five of the previous six majors and took turns at No. 1 in the world ranking.

But they have come up empty in the majors – so far.

Spieth is feeling it as much as anyone, mainly because he nearly won them all a year ago with a major performance that ranked among the best ever.

AP photo

Rory McIlroy (left) talks with Rickie Fowler as they wait on the fifth hole during a practice round for the PGA Championship on Tuesday at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, N.J. So when a question was posed to him Tuesday that expecting 20 more years like that would probably be a tough benchmark, Spieth leaned toward the microphone and interrupted.

“Probably?” he said.

Even with two victories and a chance at the Masters that he threw away with one bad swing at the wrong time, he has been noticeable in the past two majors by his absence from the leaderboard.

Spieth, who turns 23 Wednesday, had contended in five straight majors. He

finished 13 shots behind in the U.S. Open and 22 shots behind at the British Open.

“I set my own expectations so high,” Spieth said. “So have I met them this year? Not yet.”

He still can.

So can Day, a three-time winner on the PGA Tour this year. Stenson’s victory at Royal Troon surely gave hope to players who have yet to win a major, from Sergio Garcia to Lee Westwood, from Rickie Fowler to Matt Kuchar.

Baltusrol was soaked with nearly 2 inches of rain overnight, though the Lower Course was in remarkably good shape for a full day of practice on Tuesday in sweltering conditions that only add to the pressure of players trying to break through.

McIlroy was especially optimistic given the length of Baltusrol, exceptionally long (7,462 yards) for a par 70 that doesn’t have a par 5 until the final two holes. He is among the top power players in the game, and his driving is aesthetically beautiful because of his balance.

That wasn’t lost on McIlroy as he blasted a 345-yard drive off the first tee in the Long Drive Competition and made his way around the course. He

looks ready to go, and he will find out Thursday what kind of traction he has.

McIlroy was asked to describe his season in one word, and after some thought, settled on “neutral.”

That’s another way of saying he has been spinning his wheels.

“I feel there’s been times where I got a little bit of momentum, and then sort of got set back a little bit,” he said. “It’s been a little stop-start in a way. But it’s hard. I’m trying to stay as positive as I can. I feel like I am positive because my game is in good shape. But I guess just maybe running out of patience a little bit and trying to make it happen.

“I don’t know if there’s one word to describe this year,” he said. “But I think you get a sense of how I’ve felt about the year and trying to get better and trying to get my name in the mix, and hopefully I can do that this week.”

His record in the PGA Championship is in his favor. McIlroy has won the Wanamaker Trophy twice in the last four years, and he has three other finishes in the top 10. Even though he grew up in Northern Ireland, the American brand of golf suits him best. Baltusrol is big, and likely will be soft with the overnight rain, the steamy heat and the threat of thunderstorms.

OLYMPICS

Australians move into Rio Olympic village – a little late

By STEPHEN WADE

The Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO – Two days after describing the housing at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics as “dangerous,” Australian athletes and staff started moving into the massive athletes’ village compound on Tuesday.

Australia team spokesman Mike Tancred said up to 60 delegation members – evenly split between athletes and staff – were checking in.

“All we need now is just a bit of plumbing done in three rooms, and some cleaning and our athletes will be moving in tonight,” Tancred said, standing outside the village’s arrival gate.

Australians declined to enter their rooms on Sunday after flushed toilets and open taps caused water to gush down walls and ceilings in the building. They also complained of electrical shorts and gas leaks.

Rio organizers said Tuesday that 21 of 31 buildings were ready, occupied by 600 athletes and 1,800 staff from 120 countries. Organizers said all the buildings would be ready Thursday, barely a week before the games open.

The village will accommodate about 18,000 athletes and staff with a dining room serving 60,000 meals daily.

After criticizing the conditions, Australia has spent two days trying to befriend Brazilians.

“It was nothing ever against the Brazilian people,” Tancred said. “It was just a matter that we had to make sure it was all safe for our athletes.

A general view of the main dinning room Saturday at the Olympic Village in Rio de Janeiro. The brand-new complex of residential towers are where nearly 11,000 athletes and about 6,000 coaches and other handlers will sleep, eat and train during the upcoming games, that will kick off Aug. 5 But it’s a fantastic village, and we’ve always said that.”

The head of Australia’s delegation Killy Chiller said the team complained publicly after working behind the scenes with teams that also had problems. She listed seven other delegations: Britain, New Zealand, Germany, Belgium, Brazil, Japan and the Netherlands.

Argentina and Belarus have also complained openly about the conditions.

Gerardo Werthein, the president of the Argentina Olympic committee, said on Monday that two of five floors in his building were uninhabitable.

“Ours is one of the most affected buildings, as is the Australia one,” Werthein said.

Tancred said Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes would hand the team an official key on Wednesday. Paes harshly criticized Australia, then backed down and said their building was one of the worst prepared in the village.

He sarcastically said he was tempted to put “a kangaroo jumping outside” the Australians’ building to make them happy.

As it turns out, the mayor will be getting his own gift.

“We’re going to give him the boxing kangaroo as a gift,” Tancred said.

At least 105 Russian athletes banned so far The Associated Press

MOSCOW – At least 105 athletes from the 387-strong Russian Olympic team announced last week have been barred from the Rio Games in connection with the country’s doping scandal.

International federations in canoeing, sailing and modern pentathlon ruled out eight on Tuesday, including an Olympic gold medalist. Rowing added 19 more athletes to three that had previously been announced. Swimming has also barred some athletes.

Some appeals are likely.

Federer to miss rest of season, including Olympics, US Open

Roger Federer is sitting out the rest of this season, including the Rio de Janeiro Olympics and U.S. Open, to protect his surgically repaired left knee.

Federer wrote on his Facebook page Tuesday that he needs “more extensive rehabilitation following my knee surgery earlier this year.”

“The doctors advised that if I want to play on the ATP World Tour injury free for another few years, as I intend to do, I must give both my knee and body the proper time to fully recover,” Federer said.

The owner of a record 17 Grand Slams titles turns 35 on Aug. 8, so the reference to “another few years” might give his fans increased hope of seeing Federer continue to wield a racket for quite some time.

Injury anxieties grow, but Bolt says ‘sport needs me to win’

OLYMPICS: RUSSIA

By JAMES ELLINGWORTH

OLYMPIC NOTES

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russian media that Putin had discussed the doping issue with his national security council.

“The topic of the recent International Olympic Committee ruling relating to Russian athletes was raised ahead of Putin’s planned meeting tomorrow with the Russian Olympic team,” Peskov was quoted as saying.

The vast majority of the Russian athletes who miss out are in track and field, where 67 athletes were ruled out when a ban on the Russian team was upheld at the Court of Arbitration for

Sport last week.

More are running afoul of new rules imposed in the wake of the country’s doping scandal.

While Russia avoided a blanket ban from the International Olympic Committee, it has lost several medal contenders to new IOC rules imposed Sunday banning Russia from entering athletes who previously doped.

Alexander Dyachenko, an Olympic champion in 2012, was among five canoeists ruled out after being named in a report by World Anti-Doping Agency investigator Richard McLaren alleging a state-sponsored doping cover-up.

LONDON – Whatever controversy is raging in the Olympic world there’s one constant: Usain Bolt’s bravado and self-confidence.

It’s what is expected from the world’s fastest man and greatest showman.

“I know the sport needs me to win – and come out on top,” Bolt asserts, assessing the damage caused by the Russian doping scandal that has divided sports leaders.

As for his pursuit of three more Olympic gold medals in a third Games next month, Bolt adamantly responds: “I’m not going to lose one of the golds, for sure.”

Olympic boxers to fight without headgear, worry about cuts

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.– Although Antonio Vargas still thinks about the cut that nearly ended his Olympic dream, his unprotected head will be clear when he steps into the ring in Rio de Janeiro.

Vargas grew up sparring and competing in protective headgear, so he had never been cut in a fight before his face split open in that bloody loss at the U.S. Olympic team trials seven months ago. The flyweight from Florida had to fight back through the challengers’ bracket, surviving to earn a spot on the team.

Cuts haven’t been a major concern in Olympic boxing since 1980, but they will be a constant danger in Rio, where the 250 male fighters will box without headgear for the first time since Moscow.

Fighters have had three years to adjust to the change, and they’ve adapted with the same tenacity that made them boxers in the first place.

CLEVELAND – Thrust into an awkward situation in January, Tyronn Lue finished on top in June.

On Tuesday, the affable coach was rewarded for the greatest run by a Cleveland team in more than a half-century.

Lue was given a multiyear contract extension with the Cavaliers, who promoted him halfway through a season that ended with a historic comeback and NBA championship.

A former assistant, Lue took over when David Blatt was fired in January and led the Cavs to an unexpected title, the city’s first pro sports team to win it all since the Browns in 1964.

Terms of Lue’s extension were not immediately disclosed. The AP and other media outlets reported an agreement on the extension Monday.

Cavs general manager David Griffin, who approached Lue about the job after dismissing Blatt on Jan. 22, credited the coach’s steadiness in helping the team win.

“Ty took over our team under very trying circumstances and his calm, confident approach was invaluable as we found our way to success,” Griffin said.

“His vision, leadership and tactical acumen were fundamental to us reaching our goals.”

After replacing Blatt, who was canned despite taking the team to the finals in 2015 and getting them off to a 30-11 start, Lue immediately changed the team’s offense. He felt the Cavs were best when they pushed the ball up the floor, and Lue was able to better incorporate star forward Kevin Love, who was a forgotten man in Blatt’s system.

The 39-year-old Lue played 11 seasons in the NBA, with 554 career games. He played on title teams with the Lakers in 2000 and 2001.

Amare Stoudemire retires: Amare Stoudemire’s greatest NBA success was in Phoenix, where as Steve Nash’s pickand-roll partner he was one of the NBA’s most fearsome finishers.

But he chose to leave the league as a member of the Knicks, the franchise that was mired in a lengthy playoff drought before he signed in 2010 and revitalized the franchise.

Stoudemire retired Tuesday after signing a contract with the Knicks with much less fanfare than the $100 million deal he inked six years ago to halt the team’s downward spiral.

“Although my career has taken me to other places around the country, my heart had always remained in the Big Apple,” he said in a statement. “Once a

BIG TEN MEDIA DAY

Delany does not see Rose Bowl move to accommodate playoffs

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany does not envision the Rose Bowl abandoning its New Year’s Day spot in order to accommodate the College Football Playoff semifinals.

He said there might be “some movement from the bowls” but not by the Granddaddy of Them All. “I realize the challenge,” Delany said Tuesday at Big Ten Media Days.

“There may be changes in the offing, but I wouldn’t expect those changes to impact the Rose Bowl.”

The College Football Playoff is considering moving future semifinals off New Year’s Eve after ratings for last season’s games dropped in a big way.

Playoff Executive Director Bill Hancock told reporters two weeks ago at the SEC Media Days that the commissioners who comprise the playoff management committee are open to adjusting future schedules .

“We have some good options,” he said, adding they are “getting close” to a resolution.

ESPN drew record ratings for the inaugural playoff after the 2014 season, starting with the Rose Bowl that kicked off about 4:30 p.m. in Chicago.

But the semifinal ratings fell 36 percent last season, the first of eight times during a 12-year contract with the network that places the semis on New Year’s Eve. Many people were still at work in December when the Orange Bowl between Oklahoma and Clemson started at 3:30 p.m. in Chicago.

“One option could be finding a different day for the semifinals when they’re not played in the Rose and Sugar Bowls, which our research so far has shown us that that’s doable,” Hancock said.

It probably didn’t help the ratings

Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany speaks to the media at the Big Ten media day Tuesday in Chicago. last season that neither Clemson-Oklahoma nor the Michigan State-Alabama matchup in the Cotton Bowl were close in the fourth quarter. Plus, there was more star power the year before with a pair of Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks in Marcus Mariota of Oregon and Jameis Winston of Florida State going at it in one semifinal and Ohio State colliding with Alabama in the other one.

This season, the semifinals are again on New Year’s Eve, but it falls on a Saturday. Next year, they will be played on New Year’s Day. But move the Rose? Don’t count on it, and the same goes for the Sugar Bowl.

“I don’t see it happening,” Hancock

said. “We’ve been studying since February the matter of whether New Year’s Eve on a weekday is the best day for the semifinals. And considering all that, I don’t see it changing the Rose Bowl.”

Separately, Delany said he doesn’t foresee the Big Ten instituting rules restricting transfer athletes who have a history of serious misconduct from joining a team or receiving athletic aid, as the SEC, Pac-12 and Big 12 did.

The transfer bans instituted in recent years come in the wake of some high-profile incidents and an increasing awareness of sexual assault and domestic violence. But the Big Ten’s position at least for now is that the individual schools are in the best position to address those decisions.

AP photo

Delany said that stance comes after “really deep discussions” with conference presidents, athletic directors, faculty and lawyers as well as experts on the Clery Act requiring colleges to keep and disclose information about crime on or near campus.

“To think that you can pass a fouror five-sentence – or four- or five-paragraph – conference rule to accommodate all that I think is putting a lot of faith in conference policies,” Delany said.

Yet, other major conferences are doing just that.

“Let’s look at it five years from now and see how effective it is,” said Delany, who added: “We can learn from each other the best practices.”

Penn State AD: Opposing programs lying to recruits

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Penn State athletic director Sandy Barbour said opposing programs are lying to recruits by telling them the Nittany Lions could be put on probation by the NCAA in the wake of recent allegations in the Jerry San-

dusky scandal.

“It’s not factual,” she said Tuesday at Big Ten Media Days. “It’s one thing to take facts and skew them a little bit.

It’s another thing not to be factual.”

Barbour said the NCAA is “very pleased” with how Penn State handled the matter and that the governing body as well as the Big Ten considers the

matter “closed.”

Penn State is free of sanctions and back to the full 85 scholarships, but it can’t escape a shadow cast by one of the biggest scandals to hit a college program.

The Sandusky case has been in the headlines again lately because of recently disclosed allegations from men

who have accused Sandusky of sexual abuse that raised new 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 also have raised questions about just how far back late coach Joe Paterno knew of the situation.

OAKLAND, Calif. – Cheered all night long by his basketball-crazed new fan base, Kevin Durant knocked down a 3-pointer on the Americans’ first touch and slammed home a dunk the very next time down the floor.

Then, another pretty one-handed jam just a few minutes after that.

What a performance for Golden State’s latest big star to help lead the U.S. Olympic team past China 107-57 on Tuesday night for a third dominant victory in as many exhibition games.

Durant, who finalized his two-year contract with the Warriors on July 8, scored all 13 of his points during a 13½-minute span of the first half while playing his first game at his new home, Oracle Arena.

He was the first American player back on the floor after halftime to get in some more shots, all while Warriors general manager Bob Myers stood close by along the sideline.

Booed in Los Angeles a couple days back, Durant received a far more friendly reception in the Bay Area he will now call home. He emerged for pregame warmups to huge roars. He departed the court before the game to a swarm of autograph hounds hanging over the railings in the tunnel – and kindly obliged. One person held a sign that read, “KD is not a Villain.”

Durant received a rousing standing ovation when introduced along with Warriors All-Stars Draymond Green and Klay Thompson.

Also cheered was former Golden State forward Harrison Barnes, part of this past season’s runner-up team that squandered a 3-1 series lead to

ADULT POPSICLES RECLAIM SUMMER

Freeze your liquid assets with ice pops

By M. CARRIE ALLAN

O

The Washington Post

n an evening in mid-June, I was sitting on the couch working (a verb that seems to be synonymous with “adulting”) when I caught a flash of movement out the window. I turned to watch a group of kids sprinting pell-mell down our street, racing each other to the Good Humor truck near the playground. They were young, they were fast, they had the ferocity of those who have just been released onto summer and are now falling on it like wolves.

Watching them come to an almost cartoonish screeching halt at the ice-cream truck, I had a vivid sense-memory of being that age: standing in late-afternoon light with friends, smelling the new-mown grass and melting blacktop, licking off the sticky trickle of popsicle syrup melting down my arm.

Summer. Remember when you had one, when summer didn’t just mean a hotter commute to work and some extra daylight hours to work in? When summer meant whole months of freedom? Remember how little you appreciated it, you little punk? (I mean, I don’t know about you, but I actually remember saying to my mom after about two weeks of summer vacation, “I’m soooo bored.”)

After a few minutes of marinating in jealousy over those whippersnappers, I got up from the couch and wandered down the street to the van, where, after some deliberation between the Creamsicle and a red-white-and-blue rocket thingy, I bought a Drumstick, that vanilla ice cream treat that has dunked its head in peanuts.

When I unwrapped it, I found it was freezer-burned. Thomas Wolfe was right: You can’t go cone again.

But maybe I could drag those summery novelties into adulthood? There was something pleasurable about the notion of stealing a classic kid’s treat and making it something kids can’t have. Go suck a push-up pop, munchkins, I thought. I will make something better.

Specifically, after a run to the store for frozen-pop molds, juice and fruit, and a little research into the freezing properties of hard liquor, I had molds full of goodness in the deep freeze: a grapefruit Paloma pop with tequila, lime and a little salt; a bright strawberry-Aperol mix that sang a song of summer; a honey-and-citrus syrup made sophisticated with the deep herbal notes of a little green Chartreuse. My personal favorite, probably for its absurdity, was the Gin & Tonicsicle.

Now, when I see kids running for the Good Humor truck, I think yes, yes, you scamps have the whole summer still ahead of you. But we, we have a freezer of our own.

NOTE: Many of these recipes require simple syrup. To make a simple syrup, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a low boil, then cool. Transfer to a heatproof container. Once it has cooled to room temperature, cover tightly and refrigerate until chilled through; store indefinitely.

Here, a summer cocktail classic becomes a frozen novelty for adults, with juniper notes enhanced by a special soda.

If you can’t find it, don’t worry; these pops are tasty with straight tonic water as well.

The combination of strawberries and citrusy, lightly bittersweet Aperol is a beautiful one, tasting of summer. You can substitute Campari for a slightly more bitter variation.

These tart and citrusy pops bring together honey, gin and green Chartreuse; a touch of salt highlights the flavors nicely.

Gin & Tonicsicles

Strawberry-Aperol Pops 6 servings

Honey Chartreuse Pops

6 servings

1 cup tonic water 3/4 cup Dry brand Juniper Berry Soda (may substitute the same amount of extra tonic water) 1/2 cup dry gin 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 lime) Dash Angostura bitters 2 to 3 tablespoons simple syrup

1½ cups fresh hulled, sliced strawberries 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup Aperol (may substitute Campari) 1/4 cup dry vermouth

Combine the tonic water, soda, gin, lime juice, bitters and simple syrup (to taste) in a large liquid measuring cup, stirring to combine. Pour the liquid into the molds and insert the sticks. Freeze overnight.

To loosen from the molds, run a popsicle in its mold briefly under warm water and gently slide the pop free.

Place the strawberries in a bowl. Cover with the sugar and allow to sit for an hour, until the sugar draws out the berries’ juices. Transfer the mixture to a blender along with the water, Aperol and vermouth. Purée on high speed, then strain through a fine-mesh strainer, using a spatula to push through and extract as much liquid as possible. Pour the strained liquid into the molds and insert the sticks. Freeze overnight.

To loosen from the molds, run a popsicle in its mold briefly under hot water and gently slide the popsicle free.

Summer’s Heating Up

Paloma Pops Photo by Goran Kosanovic for The Washington Post

• POPTAILS

Continued from page 2 This frozen riff on one of Mexico’s favorite cocktails combines grapefruit, lime, tequila and a dash of salt. A dash of hot sauce is a nice touch as well, if you like spice. Don’t increase the amount of tequila, or the pops won’t freeze. We used Ting, a Jamaican grapefruit soda, but San Pellegrino Pompelmo also works nicely.

You’ll need a 6-well popsicle mold (3-ounce-each capacity) with sticks.

Paloma Pops 6 servings

1 cup ruby red grapefruit juice 3/4 cup grapefruit soda (see headnote) 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1

lime) 2 tablespoons agave syrup or simple syrup 2 tablespoons water 1/2 cup blanco tequila Two pinches salt Dash or two of hot sauce (optional) Combine the grapefruit juice, soda, lime juice, agave or simple syrup, water, tequila, salt and the hot sauce, if using, in a large liquid measuring cup, stirring until the salt has dissolved. Pour the liquid into the molds and insert the sticks. Freeze overnight.

To loosen from the molds, run a pop in its mold briefly under hot water, and gently slide it free.

Create your own I barely hit the tip of the ice pop with these four poptails, and you could make hundreds of variations. So much good summer fruit right now.

What about a watermelon-mezcal variety? Something with bourbon and peaches? What about a mai tai stick, with orgeat used as the sweetener?

If you’re feeling like experimenting, just follow the rules: • Ethanol freezes at a lower temperature than water, but assuming your freezer is set at 0 degrees F. (it should be) and you keep your pops’ syrup mix at 10 percent alcohol by volume or under, you (and your popsicles) should be solid.

• In case you’re not inclined to stop and do complicated math: 2½ cups of liquid is a little more than enough to fill six three-ounce popsicle molds.

• Assuming you’re working with a spirit that’s around 40 percent alcohol, holding it to no more than one-fifth of your mix (or half a cup) will keep you in the safe zone. Go much higher on the alcohol, and your ’sicles will end up more slushy. (Not that there’s anything wrong with a slushy, but you’ll have trouble keeping it on a stick. Which is the point here: waving your boozesicle smugly at passing young people, with their big dreams and their emojis.)

Chicken sandwich packs perfectly for a picnic

By ELIZABETH KARMEL The Associated Press

Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A famously claims they didn’t invent the chicken, just the fried chicken sandwich.

There is no denying the fried chicken sandwich is a classic and crave-able combination. Before I started making my own version of the sandwich, it always was the first thing I would eat when I visited my hometown.

Six years ago, I created my version for one of my restaurants and called it the “chickwich.” It was my public homage to the sandwiches I knew and loved from growing up eating Chickfil-A. For my version, I use aromatic buttermilk brine for the boneless skinless chicken breasts to keep them juicy and then dip them three times: First in seasoned flour, then an egg wash and finally crushed saltines to make the crust extra crispy.

If you have a large sauté pan or a griddle, a buttered and griddled bun is nice, but the bun is just fine without any prep. The sliced pickles – the only condiment in this sandwich – are key, and if you are like me and want them in every bite, make sure to layer the entire top bun with pickles. I like tangy and sour dill pickle slices, but if you prefer bread-and-butter or sweet pickles, they’ll work equally well.

The sandwich can be served hot or cold. If you are packing this for an al fresco dining experience, bring the three components in separate containers and assemble the sandwiches just before eating. Otherwise, you run the risk of a soggy sandwich.

Elizabeth’s Chickwich

Start to finish: One hour and 20 minutes Servings: 4 For the buttermilk brine: 3 cups hot water 1 cup kosher salt 1 cup packed dark brown sugar 2 generous sprigs of fresh rosemary or 2 tablespoons dried rosemary leaves 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns 4 cups cold buttermilk 1 teaspoon hot sauce or cayenne pepper 4 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts For the chicken rub: 2½ teaspoons granulated garlic 2 teaspoons onion powder 2 teaspoons smoked Spanish paprika 1 tablespoon kosher salt 2 cups self-rising flour For frying: 2 large eggs 2 tablespoons milk 1 sleeve of saltines, pounded fine by hand to make uneven crumbs Peanut or cottonseed oil, for frying

Elizabeth’s Chickwich AP photo

To serve: 1/2 to 1 cup pickles 4 potato buns In a large saucepan over high heat, bring the water, salt, sugar, rosemary, and peppercorns to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt. Stir and let cool to warm/room temperature.

Add 4 cups of ice cubes, the buttermilk and hot sauce or cayenne. Whisk well. When the brine is cool to the touch, submerge the chicken in the brine. Refrigerate covered for 15-20 minutes. Remove and pat dry. Discard brine.

Combine dry ingredients for chicken rub.

Add chicken rub to 2 cups of self-rising flour and mix well.

When ready to fry, remove tender from the back of the chicken breast, if it is still intact.

Coat breasts lightly and evenly with chicken rub. Whisk together the eggs and 2 tablespoons of milk. One at a time, dip the chicken breasts into the egg mixture and immediately into cracker crumbs. Pat cracker crumbs into all sides.

Let sit for 5 minutes to make sure crust is solid before frying.

Heat a cast-iron skillet with at least ½ inch of peanut or cottonseed oil.

To keep chicken warm and crispy before assembling the sandwiches, place fried chicken on a rack set in a sheet pan and place in a 300-degree F. oven Serve on potato buns with pickles. Enjoy

Frozen pops go healthy by featuring fresh fruits, herbs 6 pops

These frozen fruit pops are an upgrade of the ones my mom would make for me when I was young. They were a cool break on a hot summer day that seemed to make everyone happy – me, because they were a sweet treat, and her, because they were relatively good for us kids.

The accompanying recipe builds on that approach but uses fresh puréed fruit rather than juice. That makes the pops more intensely flavorful, with the full, deep essence of blackberry in every frosty bite, and more nutrient-rich. Although the purée is strained of seeds, which removes some of the fruit’s fiber, the bulk of its health benefits are retained. Using whole fruit also allows you to take advantage of the wealth of fresh berries – blueberries would be a nice substitute – in the market this time of year.

But that’s not all. These pops get another layer of flavor from fresh sage. The herb is steeped in hot water and muddled to release its fragrant flavor. The result is a bold-flavored frozen treat that will make a kid’s summer day but has enough flair to appeal to grown-ups as well.

1/3 cup packed fresh sage leaves 3/4 cup boiling water 1/4 cup honey 3½ cups (12 ounces) fresh or frozen blackberries 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon) Place the sage leaves in a small bowl or mug and pour the boiling water over them. Use a wooden spoon to muddle (mash) the leaves slightly, then let steep for 3 minutes. Discard the leaves; stir in the honey until it has dissolved.

Combine the blackberries, the honey-sage water and the lemon juice in a blender; purée until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer, stirring and pressing with a spatula to extract as much liquid as possible.

You should wind up with about 2 cups of strained purée. Discard the solids.

Divide the blackberry purée among 6 pop molds. Insert a wooden stick into each and place in the freezer for at least 5 hours.

Students will occasionally ask me this question: Why use fourth-highest when it sometimes helps declarer instead of the defenders?

It is true that all of the defenders’ methods can be analyzed by declarer, and he may benefit from the “free” information. However, defense is so difficult that the defenders just have to accept those bad deals. With no leading or signaling agreements, many contracts would make that could have been defeated. For example, in this deal, how should the defenders card to defeat three no-trump after West leads his fourth-highest spade seven?

At trick one, East must put his spade jack onto the table, the bottom of equivalent cards when playing third hand high. (In general, assuming a defender can afford to do it, he plays the top of touching honors -- except when he is the third hand to play to a trick and is going to put up the highest card so far played -- he might even take the trick.)

South wins with his spade king, leads a club to dummy’s ace, and returns a club. What should East discard?

It looks tempting to pitch the heart queen, but that isn’t right. East applies the Rule of Eleven to the opening lead. Seven from 11 is four.

So, there are four spades higher than the seven in the dummy, his hand and declarer’s hand combined, and he has seen them all: dummy’s nine, his jack and queen, and declarer’s king. So, West’s spade suit is ready to run. But West doesn’t know who has the spade queen. East must clarify the position by discarding the aforementioned spade queen.
