Good morning, McHenry County ...

Downtown Crystal Lake filled, vibrant I don’t get to downtown Crystal Lake near enough, but I’ve had the chance to visit several times this week as my wife and I have taken turns shuttling my daughter to and from the Raue Center for the Arts.

For the past few weeks, she’s been attending a musical theatre workshop presented by Sage Studio and Williams Street Rep. Rehearsals were at the Raue Monday through Wednesday in advance of last night’s wonderful performance.

I’m incredibly proud of my daughter, her fellow performers and the professionals from Williams Street for the show they put on, but my focus today is downtown and how vibrant it is.

The Northwest Herald published a story this week about how there are no retail vacancies in downtown Crystal Lake. Every storefront is occupied.

Fabric, Fiber and Finds owner Louise Steinbach, a friend from the Crystal Lake Gala days, moved her arts and craft business downtown recently, filling that last vacancy. It shows by the wide variety of activity going on at all times of the day.

If you haven’t been to downtown Crystal

SHREVEPORT, La. – A man in Louisiana has thwarted a carjacking attempt with the help of a car wash power spray.

KSLA-TV reported Michael Davis was cleaning his car at a Shreveport car wash July 20 when he says a man pointed a gun at him and demanded his keys and cash. A video from Davis’ dash cam shows him turning the powerful spray on the gunman and then trying to hit him with the wand. He also fended off another man who came around the other side of the vehicle.

Davis doesn’t regret his actions. He says he probably would have been shot even if he had turned over the car and adds that his disabled veteran brother was inside. He hopes the duo will be caught.

Kids learn valuable info at health and safety fair

By SAMANTHA MOORE smoore@shawmedia.com

CRYSTAL LAKE – As Aidyn Bottcher, 5, cast his rod, he hoped to catch a fish among the garbage.

Aidyn, one of the many children to try their hand at fishing, wielded a plastic rod to catch the laminated fish as part of McHenry County Conservation District’s exhibit at this year’s Children’s Health and Safety Fair. The game encouraged children to spend time outdoors and taught them about littering.

In its 26th year of existence, the Children’s Health and Safety Fair continued to deliver information to those in attendance. This year’s fair, which took place at McHenry County College on Wednesday had more than 40 exhib-

itors from various agencies in the county. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., these educational activities were explored.

“It’s something fun that is free for families. We’re hoping that they’re gathering some education and at the same time having fun,” chairwoman Mary Reid said.

In past years, 900 to 1,300 community members have gathered not only to experience the interactive exhibits, but also receive various health services.

School physicals, dental screenings and immunizations were available to help children meet health requirements for the upcoming school year. Volunteer dentists provided free screenings, physicals cost $20 and immunizations were administered for $15.

Gov. Rauner signs law boosting fines for FOIA non-compliance

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com A new state law will make it expensive for local governments that choose not to comply with orders to turn over documents ruled public under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. Gov. Bruce Rauner earlier this month signed House Bill 4715 into law, which significantly increases fines that can be levied against local governments if they violate court orders or binding attorney general’s opinions that a FOIA request denied by the body must be made public. The law is one of two signed by Rauner that collectively are called “Molly’s Law,” named in honor of a family that encountered roadblocks trying to investigate their young daughter’s death.

House Bill 4715 allows the court to fine a government up to $1,000 a day

if it does not comply with an order to comply with a FOIA request and turn over disputed records. It also gives people the ability to sue should a government fail to comply after 35 days with a binding opinion from the attorney general that a record must be released.

Molly Young was 21 when she was found dead of a gunshot wound to her head in 2012 at the apartment of her former boyfriend, a Carbondale Police dispatcher. The family, who did not believe the Southern Illinois University student’s death was a suicide as had been ruled, repeatedly sought documents regarding the case from the city police and the Illinois State Police.

Their efforts were stymied to the point that a wrongful-death lawsuit they filed in 2015 was tossed out due to the two-year statute of limitations.

No one was ever charged over Young’s death.

The companion bill to Molly’s Law that Rauner also signed, House Bill 6083, extends the statute of limitations for wrongful death cases to five years after the date of death or one year after the criminal case against the perpetrator concludes.

“This bill provides families a longer timeframe to bring wrongful death actions against perpetrators of intentional violent crimes, and gives families access to the necessary public information to find closure in a loved one’s death,” Rauner said in a statement.

State lawmakers in 2009, following the arrest and impeachment of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, significantly strengthened the state FOIA, which media and good-government groups had long complained was far too weak, too easy to abuse and contained no punishments for violating it.

Molly’s Law takes effect Jan. 1.

Judge raises bond for woman accused of heroin DUI in fatal McHenry crash Woodstock mother killed in May 6 wreck

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A McHenry County judge increased the bond for woman from Wisconsin who was allegedly under the influence of heroin during a fatal McHenry crash.

Sheree Ann Shaw, 45, appeared in court Wednesday with Assistant Public Defender Angelo Mourelatos after Assistant State’s Attorney Michael Combs filed Sheree Ann a motion Monday to in- Shaw crease Shaw’s bond. Her bond was previously set at $100,000.

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

Shaw was driving May 6 in McHenry when she struck a 2007 Harley-Davidson Road Glide, police have said.

The motorcycle was driven by Mike Thornton with passenger and wife Amy Thornton, police said.

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

Combs said his office has concerns that if Shaw is able to post bond, she will flee again.

Judge Sharon Prather granted Comb’s motion and increased Shaw’s bond to $500,000. Prather set the case for a status hearing on Aug. 17.

Shaw was arrested in McHenry County the same day of the crash and charged with driving without a license.

She posted $1,500 bond on the misdemeanor charge. One of the conditions of her bond was not to leave the state of Illinois, Combs said in his motion.

Once released from custody, Shaw reportedly traveled back to her home in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin. Prosecutors upgraded the charges in May and Shaw was arrested in June. Combs said she refused to waive extradition and her bond was set at $2,500 – which she posted and was again released from custody.

Prather issued a warrant for Shaw’s arrest after she failed to appear in court on June 7.

She said one of the reasons why she chose to attend treatment in Las Vegas was because it was completely covered by her insurance.

Shaw was arrested June 23 in Las Vegas and taken into custody to await extradition back to Illinois.

Mourelatos said Shaw is already unable to post bond and could only raise $3,000 at this time, adding for those reasons a bond increase would be excessive. He said his client did not understand the severity of the situation at the time, and she would be willing to attend and complete treatment if given the opportunity.

A GoFundMe.com account set up to raise money to help the Thornton family with living and medical expenses has so far raised more than $20,000.

Mike Thornton also has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against Shaw, according to court records.

PRAIRIE GROVE – The 2016 Tee Up 4 Charity golf outing is taking place Friday with all proceeds going to the Pioneer Center for Human Services in McHenry.

The golf outing, hosted by STAR Charities, a not-for-profit organization based in Wauconda, will take place at the Prairie Isle Golf Club, located at 2216 Route 176, Prairie Grove.

Erick Robbins, the director of STAR Charities, said this is the third year the organization will host the golf outing benefiting the Pioneer Center.

“Because of a relationship we developed with the Pioneer Center and some of our friends that work there, we decided to do our annual golf outing

benefiting them in 2014,” Robbins said.

Even though STAR Charities is based in Lake County, Robbins said his organization wanted to help McHenry County as well.

“We’re a corporate sponsored charity from Progressive Components in Wauconda, and we wanted to move out and help the McHenry area where a lot of Progressive Component employees live,” Robbins said.

Registration to join the outing is $100 a person and includes 18 holes of golf, cart rental, lunch, dinner, a group photo, a gift bag and a chance to win prizes. Anyone that just wants to attend the dinner and not participate in the golf outing can also do so for just $25.

Registration begins at 11 a.m. and tee off starts at 12:30 p.m.

• SAFETY FAIR

Continued from page A4 “We brought them out to educate them on health and safety, and to have fun,” nanny Angela Felton said about the children she watches.

After learning about each exhibit’s topic, children earned a stamp for their stamp cards. Once 30 stamps were collected, children were eligible for a school supply box filled with materials. Additionally, those who completed their cards were entered to win a bicycle sponsored by Centegra Health System.

Some of the children sported superhero outfits in accordance with this year’s theme. Superheroes, including Superman, were buzzing among the exhibits.

“If they learn one thing that they didn’t know, that is a bonus,” Reid said.

Topics addressed by exhibitors included internet safety, oral hygiene and nutrition, among others.

A station by McHenry County Health Department taught children about healthy eating and instructed children to glue seeds onto a paper towel. After the event, children can plant their seeds to grow squash, sunflowers or cucumbers. Recipes were also supplied to encourage continued healthy eating.

“We feel that if they grow things from the start they will have more of an interest in eating them,” Health Educator Brenda Berg said.

For Jen Marsh, planting the seeds is an activity she and her foster sons Roberto and Javier plan to do together.

Other exhibits featured railroad safety by Union Pacific’s Operation Lifesaver and bat safety from McHenry County Health Department. Each exhibit administered safety information in a kid-friendly, entertaining manor and rewarded participants with a stamp.

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

Jacob Winnecke of Crystal Lake explores Wednesday the 3-D bat cave sponsored by the McHenry County Department of Health at the McHenry County Children’s Health and Safety Fair at McHenry County College in Crystal Lake.

Before leaving, 12-year-old Tavia Thomas exchanged her stamp card for a pink supply box, one step better prepared and informed for the upcoming school year.

hprokop@shawmedia.com SPRING GROVE – Two men were stranded on an island in Nippersink Lake after their boat crashed Wednesday night, an official said.

Lake County Sheriff’s Office Detective Chris Covelli said about 8:20 p.m., the sheriff’s office, Fox Lake Fire Protection District and the Lake County Sheriff’s Marine Unit responded to the island across from North Nora Place in

unincorporated Spring Grove.

Deputies on scene learned a Yamaha boat crashed into the island and was incapacitated by the crash, Covelli said.

A passerby helped the deputy get to the island, Covelli said, and eventually the two men were returned to shore.

Covelli said the men were evaluated for injuries by paramedics on scene.

The Lake County Sheriff’s Marine Unit is investigating the crash, and whether alcohol or drugs were involved, Covelli said.

Colonial Cafe and Ice Cream celebrates 115 wonderful years!

SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese When a restaurant has been in business long enough to have served your great-grandparents, you know it’s a special place. The seed of what became Colonial Cafe and Ice Cream began in 1901, when Simon T. Anderson started a milk route with his horse-drawn wagon in the St. Charles area. By 1910, Simon was offering ice cream, and in 1932, Colonial Ice Cream opened its first retail store. By 1959, Colonial had become a full-service family restaurant.

Colonial Cafe holds a special place in the hearts of customers, both past and present.

Guests tell the staff and management at Colonial that it’s their place for making memories; the legendary ice cream, comfortable atmosphere, and kid-friendliness make it a welcoming family destination. With free Wi-Fi, private rooms, and an affordable catering menu, Colonial Cafes have stayed relevant for all types of customers. Private parties, group and club meetings, and business lunches are as popular as ever.

Colonial has found a way to set itself apart from a typical “family restaurant”, by offering creative chef-inspired treatments of comfort foods that elevate their cuisine to hand-crafted, tasty, and trendy. Current runaway hit items on the menu include the Breakfast Quinoa Bowl and the Basil Pesto Salmon, which offer a level of sophistication that guests don’t expect to find in a family restaurant. Colonial’s Shrimp Tacos with Elote Corn, BBQ Pork Macaroni & Cheese, and Charlemagne Shrimp Omelettes are also popular offerings that guests love.

Employing almost 300 team members, Colonial contributes greatly to the economic health of the Fox Valley area, in addition to providing Cares Nights fundraisers, acting as a meeting center for social and service groups, and offering value menus and quality ingredients for customers.

Colonial’s newest restaurant design will be revealed at the September 8th grand re-opening of its St. Charles East location, where its first fullservice restaurant opened in 1959. Bring your family and join in the festivities!

Dorothy was a stay at home mom while her children were small. She had the house on the block where every kid wanted to play.

After Ken died she worked at the American Legion Post 171 for 17 years where she was a lifetime member and belonged to the Ladies Auxiliary.

Dorothy loved to read, do puzzles, and work in her many gardens. She was fun loving and would give you the shirt off her back.

She is survived by her children, her son, Bob (Laura) Berkley, and her longtime caregiver and daughter, Jane (Randy) Bowe; her grandchildren, Macey and Samantha Berkley, Ryan (Sally), Brandon (Caitlyn), and Misty Bowe, and the little ones Nathan and Jaxton.

A graveside service will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 13, at Algonquin Cemetery.

Her family would like to say a very special thank you to her longtime visiting nurses

Tery and Anna from Centegra Health. We couldn’t have done it without them. Also to the great and kind staff at Crossroads.

Thank you.

RIP Dorothy, your many friends and family have been waiting a long time to see you in heaven. Bye Goatie.

In 1961, he wrote, drew, and edited his own comic book, “Yak Yak,” for Dell Comics.

While Davis was masterful at caricatures of recognizable figures, he took amusing liberties with all his subjects, endowing them with distinctly large heads, pipe-stem legs and snowshoe-size feet.

As a proud alumnus of the Univer-

sity of Georgia (which he attended on the G.I. Bill after three years in the U.S. Navy), he continued to produce innumerable billboards and other artwork celebrating the “Dawgs” throughout his life.

“Jack Davis was a seminal figure in illustration of the last century,” said Chris Garvin, director of the UGA Lamar Dodd School of Art. “His work was both timely and timeless. It perfectly expressed the era in which he worked.”

KEVIN J. WALTER SR. Kevin J. Walter Sr., age 47, passed away July 22, 2016, at his residence in McHenry.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The actress who became famous playing the Jamaican psychic Miss Cleo, claiming to know callers’ futures in ubiquitous TV infomercials and commercials 15 years ago, has died of cancer.

Youree Dell Harris, 53, died Tuesday in Palm Beach, her lawyer, William J. Cone Jr., said.

The Los Angeles-born Harris was a struggling actress when the Psychic Readers Network hired her in the late 1990s to play Miss Cleo. She adopted her family’s Jamaican heritage for the role, persuading viewers to call for allegedly free psychic readings.

In one commercial, she is seen poring over tarot cards before telling a caller that the father of her baby is the “one who is very unpleasant and had another girlfriend while he was sleeping with you ... but you knew that.” The commercials ended with the tagline, “Call me now!”

The federal government said those “free” calls cost consumers about $1 billion. The Federal Trade Commission said the psychic service promised a free reading, but consumers calling a toll-free number were directed to a 900 number charging $4.99 per minute. The agency said nearly 6 million people made such calls and were charged an average of about $60 apiece.

The Psychic Readers Network’s parent company forgave $500 million in customer charges in a 2002 settlement. After the settlement, Harris mostly faded from view for over a decade. She voiced a character in the “Grand Theft Auto: Vice City” video game and was an advocate for gay rights after coming out as a lesbian.

Harris returned to the public eye in 2014 when she appeared in the documentary “Hotline,” which looked at the world of telephone psychics, phone sex workers and suicide prevention specialists.

Tony Shaff, the film’s producer, said he found her to be “warm and welcoming and bigger than life.”

“She was smart as a whip and very intuitive,” Shaff said. He said she understood that some consumers felt they were swindled, “but she was being paid to do a job.”

NEW YORK – Jack Davis, the prolific Mad magazine illustrator, cartoonist and movie poster artist, has died.

He died Wednesday morning, his son-in-law, Chris Lloyd said. He passed away in St. Simons, Georgia, of natural causes. He was 91.

As a struggling young artist in New York, Davis was “about ready to give up, go home to Georgia and be either a forest ranger or a farmer,” he recalled in an interview a few years ago. Then, in 1950, he scored the first of many sales of his artwork to EC Comics, which published a line of horror titles including “Tales from the Crypt.”

He stuck with its editors – William M. Gaines, Albert B. Feldstein and Harvey Kurtzman – when they launched the pioneering satire magazine Mad in 1952. He remained a member of “The Usual Gang of Idiots” (as the magazine billed them) for the next six decades.

His far-flung illustrations poked fun at politicians and celebrities along with countless portraits of the magazine’s perpetually grinning mascot, Alfred E. Neuman.

Along the way, Davis also created numerous covers for TV Guide and Time, and provided artwork for books, record jackets, and posters for films including “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad,

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Remembering certain experiences will help you put things in perspective this year.

Take your time, be thorough and don’t leave anything to chance. It’s up to you to turn your ideas into reality. Take one step at a time to ensure that you achieve the results you desire.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Letting emotional problems seep into your professional life will not lead to advancement. Offer your skills and a positive attitude, and confront domestic issues with peace and love.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – If you search for information, you will discover something that will clear up confusion about a personal

matter. Your effort to excel will pay off.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Speak up on behalf of someone who cannot do so for him- or herself. Your ability to offer a reasonable alternative will make you a hero. Love should be a joyful end to a hectic day.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Jealousy will stand in your way. Step back and consider whether it’s worth getting upset over something you cannot change. Focus on what you can do, not on what you cannot.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – A healthier lifestyle will save you from slipping into bad habits. Demonstrating discipline and a desire to be your best is favored. Love yourself and the people who support your efforts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You need to

move forward, regardless of what others do.

An unpredictable situation is best handled with caution. Rely on your experience to guide you in order for a positive turn of events to unfold.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Good fortune will develop through patience, love and understanding. If you are sincere and consistent in your treatment of others, you will enhance your relationship with loved ones.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Listen to what’s being said and make adjustments based on what works for you. Trust in your knowledge, intuition and ability to visualize. Don’t let mixed emotions lead you astray.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – If you network and show off your skills, you will be offered

a chance to take on something new and exciting. Contracts and negotiations look promising.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Put your emotions aside and become a participant. The experience you gain and the connections you make will be worth your while. Don’t give in to someone using emotional tactics.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Play it safe and ask questions if you are in doubt. Common sense should tell you who is offering you the truth and who isn’t. What you discover will help bring about personal change.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Dream on and proceed to make your dreams a reality. Carve out a working space in your home that is conducive to creativity and personal growth.

Rauner visits Quincy veterans home

Governor: Illinois doing all it can on Legionnaires’ cases The ASSOCIATED PRESS QUINCY – Gov. Bruce Rauner said Wednesday that the state is doing everything it can to prevent the spread of Legionnaires’ disease at a veterans home where an outbreak last year sickened 53 people, including 12 who died.

Rauner visited the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy on Wednesday, a day after officials announced that two more residents of the home were sickened and less than a month after a nearly

News from across the state Blagojevich won’t appear in person at resentencing

CHICAGO – Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich has chosen not to appear in person at his resentencing next month in Chicago and will instead make his first appearance in a public forum in four years via video from a Colorado prison, his attorney told a federal judge Wednesday.

The 59-year-old Democrat preferred to return to his hometown but reluctantly agreed with Rod officials that the logistics Blagojevich of the 1,000-mile journey would be complicated, attorney Leonard Goodman told Judge James Zagel at a status hearing.

His warden refused to grant Blagojevich a furlough enabling him to travel to Chicago on his own, Goodman said. So, transferring the one-time contestant on Donald Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice” could have taken two weeks, requiring he go through a transfer center in Oklahoma and then board a government-run prisoner plane.

Federal officials have said the bacteria that caused the outbreak last year were likely spread by an aging water system at the 129-year-old facility.

“We are terribly disappointed and hurt that the problem came back,” Dave MacDonna, a spokesman for the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, told The Quincy Herald-Whig.

joked after the hearing.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons didn’t have an immediate comment.

Famously fastidious about his black hair as governor, Blagojevich has granted no interviews in prison, so the resentencing will be the first chance to see how his appearance has changed behind bars. His barber said in 2012 that Blagojevich’s hair was dyed and that, since dyes are banned in prison, it would quickly turn all white.

An appeals court last year ordered Blagojevich to be resentenced after tossing five of the 18 corruption convictions that included attempting to exchange an appointment to President Barack Obama’s old U.S. Senate seat for campaign cash.

Kennedy blasts Rauner at Democrats’ convention

CHICAGO – Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan said Chris Kennedy, the son of the late Robert F. Kennedy, would be an “excellent candidate” for governor in 2018.

Madigan made the comments in Philadelphia on Tuesday after Kennedy spoke to Illinois delegation at the Democratic convention. Madigan also praised U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin as a potential gubernatorial candidate, saying he would be “uniquely qualified for the job.”

The Chicago Tribune reported that Kennedy used his address Tuesday to criticize Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner for trying to curb the power of unions and for the

state’s lack of a complete budget.

“The suffering and chaos that he has unleashed on the people of Illinois needs to end,” Kennedy said.

But after his speech, Kennedy declined to address speculation that he’s interested in the state’s top office.

“I said what I was going to say inside today,” he said.

Rauner’s office did not address Kennedy’s comments, saying in a statement that the governor is focused on Illinois.

Elections board: Mautino misses filing deadline

CHICAGO – Illinois Board of Elections officials said Auditor General Frank Mautino didn’t file amended campaign disclosure reports and could face a public hearing.

Election board Executive Director Steve Sandvoss told The (Springfield) State Journal-Register that Mautino didn’t file the amended reports by Monday’s deadline. The hearing would look into Mautino’s use of campaign money while serving in the Illinois House.

The investigations cover the Spring Valley Democrat’s time as a legislator, including more than $200,000 spent at an alderman-owned service station. Republicans are pushing him to step aside and earlier this month filed a resolution aimed at removing him from office.

Mautino has acknowledged cooperation with federal prosecutors. His spokesman said Tuesday that Mautino

Police union to officers: Don’t request overtime

CHICAGO – Chicago’s police union is asking officers to not volunteer to work overtime during the Labor Day weekend to protest the “continued disrespect” toward officers and the killings of law enforcement personnel nationwide.

The Chicago Police Department typically deploys thousands of officers on overtime to counteract the spike in shootings that usually occurs during long holiday weekends. But in a recent flier sent to rank-and-file officers, the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7 advises against officers volunteering for duty.

“There is a new level of concern that families now have when their loved ones leave for work in law enforcement that they didn’t have a month ago,” Chicago FOP President Dean Angelo said, referring to the recent fatal shootings in Dallas and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. “And we are saying, put your kids at ease, don’t take that extra day at risk if you don’t have to.”

The flier said taking a stand would also “show unity and ... protest the continued disrespect of Chicago Police Officers.”

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Trump to Russia: Uncover, deep fissures between the police, prosecutors and the people. release Clinton emails WASHINGTON – Donald Trump encouraged Russia on Wednesday to find and make public missing emails deleted by his presidential opponent, Hillary Clinton, setting off an instant debate over hacking and his urging of a foreign government to meddle in American politics.

Shortly after Trump’s extraordinary remarks, his Republican running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, took a different tack and warned of “serious consequences” if Russia interfered in the election.

Democrats – and some Republicans – quickly condemned the remarks by the Republican presidential standard-bearer.

They came as the Democrats met on the third day of their national convention in Philadelphia, where Clinton will accept the presidential nomination Thursday night to face Republican Trump in November.

Prosecutors abandon case in Gray’s death

BALTIMORE – More than a year after a black man suffered a broken neck in a police van, the effort to hold six officers criminally responsible for his death collapsed Wednesday when the city dropped all charges in the case that tore Baltimore apart and exposed

A day before another trial was to begin, prosecutors dismissed charges against three remaining officers, blaming police for a biased investigation that failed to produce a single conviction in the death of Freddie Gray.

Gray, 25, was fatally injured in April 2015 while he was handcuffed and shackled but left otherwise unrestrained in the back of the van.

Freedom days away for would-be Reagan assassin

WASHINGTON – For the past decade, the man who shot President Ronald Reagan has quietly spent a growing number of his days living with his 90-year-old mother in a gated community in Williamsburg, Virginia. On Wednesday, a judge finalized John Hinckley Jr.’s transition to freedom, ordering that Hinckley can permanently leave the psychiatric hospital where he was confined after the assassination attempt.

The order, which cannot be appealed, has been in the works for years, despite opposition by prosecutors, who sought numerous restrictions on Hinckley’s freedom, most of which were agreed to by Judge Paul Friedman.

Hinckley could leave St. Elizabeths Hospital as early as Aug. 5.

Obama boosts Clinton; Kaine mocks Trump The ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA – His own legacy on the line, President Barack Obama implored Americans to elect Hillary Clinton to the White House, casting her as a candidate who believes in the optimism that drives the nation’s democracy and warning against the “deeply pessimistic vision” of Republican Donald Trump.

“America is already great.

America is already strong,” he declared to cheering delegates Wednesday night at the Democratic convention. “And I promise you, our strength, our greatness, does not depend on Donald Trump.”

For Democrats, the night was steeped in symbolism, the passing of the baton from a barrier-breaking president to a candidate trying to make history herself. It culminated with Clinton making a surprise appearance on stage to greet Obama with a long embrace, an almost unimaginable image eight years ago when they battled for the Democratic nomination.

Obama urged Americans to summon the hopefulness of that White House campaign, before recession deepened and new terror threats shook voters’ sense of security. He robustly vouched for Clinton’s readiness to finish the job he started, saying “no matter how daunting the odds, no matter how much people try to knock her down, she never, ever quits.”

Earlier Wednesday, Clinton’s running mate, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, introduced himself to the nation as a formidable foil to Trump in his own right. With folksy charm, he ridiculed Trump’s list of promises and imitated one of the GOP candidate’s favorite phrases.

“Believe me!” he said mockingly, as the audience boomed back, “No!” Obama’s vigorous support for Clinton is driven in part by

President Barack Obama and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton wave to the crowd Wednesday during the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. deep concern that Republican Trump might win in November and unravel his two terms in office. He warned repeatedly Wednesday that the billionaire businessman is unprepared for the challenges that would await him in the Oval Office.

Trump fueled more controversy Wednesday when he encouraged Russia to meddle in the presidential campaign. On the heels of reports that Russia might have hacked Democratic Party emails, Trump said, “Russia, if you’re listening,” it would be desirable to see Moscow find and publish the thousands of emails Clinton said she deleted during her years as secretary of state.

Wednesday night’s Democratic lineup was aimed at emphasizing Clinton’s own national security credentials.

It was a significant shift in tone after two nights spent reintroducing Clinton to voters as a champion for children and families, and relishing in her historic nomination as the first woman to lead a major political party into the general election.

The convention’s third night also was a time for Democrats to celebrate Obama’s legacy. Vice President Joe Biden, who decided against running for president this year after the death of his son, called it a “bit-

tersweet moment.”

A son of Scranton, Pennsylvania, Biden appealed directly to the working class white voters who have been drawn to Trump’s populism, warning them against falling for false promises and exploitation of Americans’ anxieties.

“This guy doesn’t have a clue about the middle class,” he declared.

Kaine also picked up the traditional attacking role of the presidential ticket’s No. 2. He tore into Trump, mocking his pledges to build a wall along the Mexican border, asking why he has not released his tax returns and slamming his business record, including the now-defunct Trump University.

“Folks, you cannot believe one word that comes out of Donald Trump’s mouth,” Kaine said. “Our nation is too great to put it in the hands of a slick-talking, empty-promising, self-promoting, one-man wrecking crew.”

Liberals, particularly those who supported Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, have grumbled about Kaine being on the ticket, particularly because of his support for “fast track” approval of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact. Several delegates held up anti-TPP signs as he spoke.

Bulldozer operator killed fighting blaze The ASSOCIATED PRESS BIG SUR, Calif. – The operator of a bulldozer was killed when it rolled over during the fight against a wildfire near Big Sur that has destroyed 20 homes and spread across more than 36 square miles, California fire officials said Wednesday.

Another operator escaped injury when a second bulldozer rolled over and sustained minor damage, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

The name and age of the operator who was killed was not immediately available.

Battalion Chief Robert Fish said the operator was working in steep and difficult-to-access terrain when the accident occurred. Fish did not have further details about the incident but said 60 bulldozers were being used in the fight against the fire.

The death occurred as firefighters worked around the clock against the blaze near a scenic stretch of the California coast, where smoke and the threat of flames forced the closure of state parks near Big Sur, a popular tourist area.

At least 2,000 structures were threatened.

Firefighters got a break early Wednesday from cooler temperatures and increased humidity.

Pacific Coast Highway remained open Wednesday, but its signature views were marred by a dark haze.

“We wanted to see more of the ocean,” said Phoenix-area tourist Jim Newby, who drove along the highway with his family Tuesday. “We didn’t see a whole lot of it unfortunately, and it’s a beautiful, beautiful stretch.”

The blaze could crest a ridge and make a run toward campgrounds,

lodges and redwoods closer to the shore, officials said.

To the south, firefighters made progress containing a huge blaze in mountains outside Los Angeles, allowing authorities to let most of 20,000 people evacuated over the weekend return home.

The fire has destroyed 18 homes since it started and authorities found the burned body of 67-year-old Robert Bresnick on Saturday in a car and said he had refused to be evacuated.

The fire in rugged wilderness between the northern edge of Los Angeles and the suburban city of Santa Clarita grew slightly to nearly 60 square miles.

It was 40 percent contained.

Firefighters expected temperatures to reach about 100 degrees on Wednesday with winds gusting to near 25 mph.

“We’re expecting to have a lot of smoldering today,” said U.S. Forest Service spokesman Justin Correll.

He said the 40 percent containment figure was good news but “that means there’s still 60 percent of containment left to get. And that’s a lot.”

There was also high potential for “fire runs” up slopes still choked with unburned brush, he said.

The Big Sur closures were put into place for parks that draw 7,500 visitors a day from around the world for their dramatic vistas of ocean and mountains.

The fire started Friday north of Big Sur and was just 10 percent contained. Residents of 300 homes were ordered to evacuate and more than 2,000 firefighters were trying to douse the blaze.

Eight hikers were rescued near the fire lines Tuesday after spending days wandering smoky trails with little water or food. No serious injuries were reported.

BRIEF 9/11 worker pleads for medical coverage with billboards

WEST MILFORD, N.J. – A New Jersey man who spent three weeks looking for survivors in the days after the 9/11 attacks is using billboards in a push to have his kidney disease added to the list of covered conditions by a fund to help Ground Zero workers with health problems.

Mike Megna has a rare kidney disease he believes was caused by dust from the rubble of the fallen World Trade Center

towers.

The 44-year-old West Milford resident has rented two billboards in New Jersey near New York City that plead, “Add Kidney Disease for 9/11 Rescue Workers!”

The signs include Megna’s name and picture.

A spokeswoman for the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which administers the fund, says there’s not enough evidence yet to connect the condition to Ground Zero.

KRAKOW, Poland – Pope Francis, deeply saddened by the slaying of an elderly priest during Mass in a church in the French countryside, warned grimly Wednesday that the world is at war, but cautioned against labeling it a war among religions.

At the start of his first-ever trip to Eastern Europe, where anti-migrant sentiments have been rising, he also Pope Francis encouraged Europe to welcome refugees from war, hunger and religious persecution and called for “courage” and “compassion.”

Francis is celebrating World Youth Day in Poland, where the conservative government has shut the doors to migrants and many fear that accepting Muslim refugees would threaten the nation’s security and its Catholic identity.

As he started the five-day trip, he told an audience of Poland’s president, diplomats and other dignitaries that what is needed is “a spirit of readiness to welcome those fleeing from wars and hunger, and solidarity with

those deprived of their fundamental rights, including the right to profess one’s faith in freedom and safety.”

While the speech had in mind the hundreds of thousands of migrants fleeing Syria, Iraq and other Mideast countries, as well as impoverished nations in Africa, his reference to practicing one’s faith in safety could also be seen as an allusion to the slaying of the 85-year-old French priest by two extremists in Normandy on Tuesday.

The murder compounded security fears surrounding Francis’ trip, which were already high due to a string of violent attacks in France and Germany. Polish officials say they have deployed tens of thousands of security officials to cover the event.

Francis spoke to reporters as he flew from Rome to Krakow. Asked about the slaying of the priest, Francis replied: “It’s war, we don’t have to be afraid to say this.”

He then sought to avoid any misunderstanding of his definition of war.

“I only want to clarify that, when I speak of war, I am really speaking of war,” he said. “A war of interests, for money, resources, dominion of peoples.”

“I am not speaking of a war of religions. Religions don’t want war. The others want war,” he added.

He also reiterated earlier remarks likening the current violence to a Third War III in “segments.”

Police body cameras are worth the cost We applaud the city of Woodstock and its police department for its pursuit of body cameras for officers’ uniforms.

We encourage implementing the all area police departments to program – including consider it. buying the cameras, training and video footage storage – is about $30,000, and Woodstock Police Chief John Lieb said the program should be implemented by the end of the year.

“I fully believe that with the implementation of those cameras, we will see both an increased level of behavior, if you will, by the public when they know that they’re actions are being filmed,” Lieb told us for a story published last week. “And at the same time, I see an increased level of protection for our officers.”

We agree.

The 2014 shooting of a black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri, is a perfect example of how an officer – and an entire community – can be protected by a uniform camera.

Claims by protesters and rioters that the officer shot the teen while his hands were over his head were later discounted, but not until after weeks of upheaval. Had the officer been wearing a body camera, the unrest might have been avoided.

Had officers been wearing body cameras during the recent shooting in Minnesota, we’d also have a clearer picture of what happened there. Officers in the recent Baton Rouge shooting had body cameras, but they reportedly fell off during the scuffle.

Lieb said body cameras would allow for “rock solid proof” that officers are behaving appropriately and professionally during citizen interactions. Provided they function correctly, he is, of course, right.

We often admonish public officials in this space for fruitlessly spending taxpayer dollars on projects we don’t think are necessary.

In this case, the potential benefit of buying and utilizing body cameras is well worth the cost to taxpayers. We encourage all area departments to consider it.

Speaker Madigan must know what’s best for Illinois voters

Here’s a thank-you going out to Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan.

ISIS, police shootings, Hillary and Pokemon Go assaults just crowd brains so much and are so overwhelming that the people of Illinois just don’t need something else to concern themselves about.

Madigan won a round in ensuring the worries of state government continue to rest on his tiny shoulders.

Madigan’s lawyers, at least temporarily, stopped the Independent Map Amendment from going before voters in November. A Cook County judge last week accepted the Madigan argument that the Illinois Constitution only allows petition-driven amendments that affect “structural” or “procedural” changes to the legislature.

Thanks to Mike, one less issue to ponder in November but a whole lot fewer choices at the polls in the future.

Here’s Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner’s take on the matter: “A stunning two-thirds of incumbents will be running unopposed in November. That’s certainly not because the politicians in charge are doing such a good job in Springfield. It means the system is broken.”

Broken? How can he say that about such a well-oiled Chicago machine?

The map amendment people think voters should have a say in whether Madigan & Co. draw the state legislative districts to protect incumbents, or whether an independent panel should draw maps based on demographics and common interests.

They collected 564,000 Illinois

voters’ signatures to get the amendment on the ballot and now are pledging to quickly put the issue before the Illinois Supreme Court, where they always expected the issue to be settled.

“Redistricting reform was specifically addressed by the framers of our constitution as a ‘critical’ area for citizen petition initiatives. We believe that the Illinois Supreme Court will side with Illinois voters and not deny citizens the opportunity to vote on this amendment,” Independent Maps Chairman Dennis FitzSimons said.

Bruce. Dennis. Stop fighting Mike. He knows what’s best for the people of Illinois.

Just look at where his leadership has taken us.

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.

VIEWS Donna Kurtz

Background

At the July 5, 2016, meeting, the County Board secured a majority vote to address the Randall Road/Algonquin Road intersection area problems. The new plan, supported by a majority of County Board members, is substantially scaled down in terms of both scope and price tag from the initial proposal.

Rather than take on the enormous expense of expanding and widening all of Randall Road, as well as introducing expensive infrastructure such as a CFI, this project is roughly half the cost and will only focus on addressing the Randall Road and Algonquin Road intersection area that extends to Harnish Drive to the south, and Acorn Lane/Polaris Drive to the north. The substantial reduction in cost and construction time were key reasons for my support of this project, as opposed to the initial project, which was arguably over-engineered and extremely costly relative to the problems that needed to be fixed.

Bottleneck metrics

The Randall and Algonquin Road intersection area has become a central crossroad for regional traffic. Therefore, it is not surprising that three different traffic volume counts provided by IDOT and MCDOT between 2013 through 2016 show average traffic volumes of between 68,000 and 85,000 vehicles traveling through this intersection daily. In addition, all of these

Plans to improve the intersection of Randall and Algonquin roads and widen portions of Randall have been criticized by some because of the cost of the project.

Northwest Herald file photo

studies show a trend increase in the traffic volume since 2009.

These traffic numbers also indicate that this intersection not only has the highest traffic in McHenry County, but also has one of the highest traffic levels in the region. Specifically, IDOT traffic studies for the Barrington Road / Higgins intersection show average daily traffic (ADT) of 62,200, the Roselle/Golf intersection with an ADT of 71,000, and Roselle/Higgins intersection with an ADT of just under 63,000. However, in spite of the sizeable traffic pouring through the Randall Road and Algonquin Road intersection area on a daily basis, basic operational functions such as a sufficient number of through lanes, left-turn lanes, and right-turn lanes are lacking, while the other intersections mentioned above do have this level of operational functionality.

Project cost and funding

MCDOT has established the total costs for making necessary operational improvements at $65.7 million, which according to MCDOT is in line with industry standards for this type of project. Specifically, the total number of miles involved are 1.5 miles on Randall Road, and .7 miles on Algonquin Road. Total number of lane miles to be constructed is 20.9 miles. Given lanemile construction cost can vary from $2 million to $6 million, according to the Federal Highway Administration, the construction costs per lane mile for this project is attractively priced at $1.8 million per lane mile.

Remaining costs for the project are allocated to right-of-way land acquisition and engineering. Because the project design incorporates triple left-turn lanes from Algonquin Road onto Randall Road for future capacity, a considerable $10.6 million in federal

funds will reduce the project cost for McHenry County taxpayers to $55.1 million. Given the approximately $9 million spent to date, the remaining cost for project completion stands at about $45 million.

Going forward, these remaining costs will be funded through motor fuel taxes and other transportation-based taxes. Therefore, no increases in property taxes will occur to fund this construction. On the other hand, if we do nothing to fix this area, the county will lose almost $20 million in federal funding, as well as money spent to date.

Regional transportation

Because traffic does not effectively move through this intersection today, travelers experience extended travel time delays that cause frustration, unnecessary pollution, and safety issues. These elements create an undesirable quality of life, impacting the attractiveness and property values of our surrounding neighborhoods and towns. However, providing more effective traffic flow allows the county to better manage its overall transportation network. This will result in fewer accidents, reduced travel time, and less fuel consumption and pollution, thus, providing $3.5 dollars of value for every $1 invested in this project.

Investing in transportation infrastructure at the crossroads of Lake in the Hills/Algonquin, and with Huntley and Crystal Lake right down the road, we are taking the steps necessary to further strengthen the business areas surrounding Randall Road.

By reducing travel times, studies indicate that retail market reach and consumer spending potential will also increase. By increasing traffic capacity, we increase the desirability for businesses to relocate here because of

the improved access for employees to travel to work.

Ultimately, strengthening our tax base by providing a safe, effective transportation infrastructure that our residents expect, businesses require, and employers and commuters demand positions McHenry County to strengthen its economic base. In turn. this is critical to revitalize taxpayer relief.

Summary

The county’s intent in addressing the operational deficiencies at the Randall Road/Algonquin Road intersection is to ensure we have the throughput to handle traffic over the next 30 years. But make no mistake about it, the traffic levels at this intersection relative to comparable intersections indicate a serious bottleneck that must be addressed now.

As a county, we must recognize that this is no longer just a busy area with highly traveled intersections; rather, these sections of roads have become a critical foundation to support our regional transportation needs. Additionally, the impact of these improvements are anticipated to generate substantial added business and economic value to McHenry County.

In conclusion, addressing the challenges of the current Randall and Algonquin roads intersection area will position both businesses and residents alike to benefit from greater transportation capacity, which will create additional financial and quality-of-life benefits for McHenry County residents in the years ahead.

Most will agree that the Randall and Algonquin Roads intersection and surrounding area is a significant congestion problem for McHenry County.

Traffic backups are common, and many complain about traffic safety concerns.

In fact, in 2010 this intersection gained the dubious distinction from the Chicago Sun-Times as one of the “20 Most Dangerous Intersections” in the Chicago area, and in 2015 this intersection area was the site of 286 accidents.

However, many elected officials, such as myself, as well as members of the public were reluctant to support the initial proposals to “fix Randall Road” because designs such as a continuous flow interchange (CFI), and the miles of Randall Road widening seemed to be overkill and far more expensive (upwards of $120 million) than what was needed to fix this problematic situation. However, the McHenry County Division of Transportation (MCDOT) has addressed these concerns and as a result, these initial expansive plans have been vastly scaled back.

BUSINESS And now it’s Comcast vs. the wait for the cable guy

By TALI ARBEL

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Did you hear the one about the cable company that’s actually improving customer service? The punchline: Comcast and its rivals say it’s no joke.

These companies have poured hundreds of millions into new tools and staff to de-agonize the process of getting cable TV, Internet or phone service. It’s part of a yearslong effort to assuage customers as the specter of “cord-cutting” – dumping cable for Netflix and the like – haunts the industry. More than 2 million customers have fled from cable and satellite over the past three years, according to research firm SNL Kagan, and the pace has been accelerating.

Comcast, for instance, is trying to demystify the wait for the cable guy via a new map-based app customers can use to track its techs in real time.

Just ask Johann Bilsborough, a 43-yearold in suburban Boston, who tapped it open while waiting for his installation appointment. Nearby construction was holding up the truck, forcing its driver to circle his neighborhood as he tried to find a way into the development.

That was helpful, but Bilsborough also found it reassuring to identify the tech via his online picture as he waited at home with his wife and two young children. “If they look a little bit like a serial killer, you can cancel,” he said.

responsive reps, and do-it-yourself installations – can shake the widespread sense that cable companies charge too much while inflicting lousy service on hapless customers.

After all, while internet-based TV options – Netflix, PlayStation Vue, Hulu – and satellite alternatives like Dish have mushroomed, most Americans have no choice but their local cable company for home broadband. And cable bills typically only go one direction – up – as the companies look to cover their own rising costs for TV programming.

All of which can become infuriating when things just don’t work well.

Romey Louangvilay, a 30-year-old digital marker in New York, said his internet service was spotty for years even though Time Warner Cable techs visited several times. After the last visit in December, it works better but it’s still “not perfect,” he said.

While customer service was “friendly and nice and really attentive,” Louangvilay still isn’t happy with the company, which was bought by Charter Communications in May. The company slashed his bill in half for a year, but it goes back up next January.

Cable’s listening tour

The industry is eager to confess its sins. “We got this thing wrong historically,” said John Keib, formerly Time Warner Cable’s executive vice president for residential services. “I think some of that image was definitely earned.”

Trapped customers The economics of cord-cutting are It’s difficult, however, to tell if the certainly one big motivation. Another tracking app – along with other im- one: Bad customer experiences can easprovements such as shorter waits, more ily devolve into public-relations night-

mares, thanks to social media. A roundup of these embarrassments makes for fun reading, including one customer’s herculean effort to quit Comcast and others who got cursed at in their bills.

“We really heard from our customers,” said Tracy Pitcher, a Comcast executive in the Boston region where the company tested its tech-tracker app.

“We’ve got to make this easier, simpler and better.”

Unhappy customers also cost more.

“They call more, take more time on the phone, say really nasty things,” said Scott Broetzmann, a customer-service consultant. “They seek revenge.”

Putting the cable guy out to pasture

Efforts to improve service reach back several years. Comcast, for instance, is in the process of hiring an additional 5,500 customer-service reps over three years. Charter also plans to hire 20,000 in-house employees to replace contractors who worked in customer service and elsewhere.

The companies said they’re making it easier to get in touch. You can leave a number for a call back instead of waiting on hold. They’ve shrunk appointment windows from four hours to one hour at Time Warner Cable – one to two hours at Comcast – and Time Warner had said it was making more night and weekend appointments available as well. Comcast has rolled out the app feature that tracks techs, though it hasn’t advertised it yet.

But companies are also trying to put their own cable guys out of business by offering self-installation kits and streaming services that don’t require

a cable box. (Comcast said about 10 percent of people who choose self-installation eventually require a tech anyway.) The company also lets you return equipment to UPS stores so you don’t have to trek to one of its own outlets.

And the consumer says ...

Are customers happier? The number of complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau didn’t change significantly in 2014 or 2015, but those represent just a tiny fraction of all cable customers.

A well-known customer-service index shows that bottom-of-the-barrel scores at Time Warner Cable and Comcast have gotten modestly better this year.

The companies also point to what they said are improving internal metrics, such as technician on-time arrivals (both Time Warner Cable and Comcast claim 99 percent) and a decline in tech visits or repeat tech visits and in service calls. The big cable companies are having their best video quarters in roughly a decade, taking share from competitors like Dish and AT&T’s U-verse.

Fewer customers are disconnecting, too, at least at the big cable firms.

Comcast lost just 4,000 TV customers on a net basis in the April-June period, its smallest second-quarter loss since at least 2006. It gained 220,000 internet customers, the most in eight years. The company credits customer-service improvements and its X1 cable service, which boasts an improved user interface and integrates streaming video.

Of its cable customers, 40 percent now have X1. Comcast hopes half will by the end of the year and sees as many as 85 percent getting it eventually.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT THURSDAY, JULY 28, 2016

NEW YORK – Bill O’Reilly said the slaves who helped build the White House “were well-fed and had decent lodgings provided by the government.”

The Fox News commentator was responding to first lady Michelle Obama’s remarks in her speech at the Democratic National Convention on Monday, when she praised social progress in the United States.

“I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves,” Obama said. “And I watch my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent, black young women playing with their dogs on the White House lawn.”

Netflix sets ‘Gilmore Girls,’ ‘One Day At A Time’ dates

Lin-Manuel Miranda speaks with reporters Wednesday in Vega Alta, Puerto Rico. Miranda joked that he is a hard-to-catch Pokemon as fans pursue him with cellphones during a visit to his parents’ native Puerto Rico.

‘Hamilton’ creator Lin-Manuel Miranda visits Puerto Rico SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – Lin-Manuel Miranda jokingly compared himself to a hard-to-catch Pokemon as fans pursued him with cellphones on Wednesday during a visit to his parents’ native Puerto Rico shortly after the end of his run on the Broadway hit “Hamilton.”

Cheers broke out as Miranda promised to bring the show that won 11 Tony Awards to the U.S. territory, adding that he would like to turn it into a movie in the near future.

“I will be your Hamilton!” he said with a wide smile as he arrived in the north coastal town of Vega Alta, where he spent his childhood summers selling ice cream, eating avocados and enlisting neighbors to star in his skits.

Miranda credited his Puerto Rico roots for making him a writer, one whose most recent Broadway production earned a Pulitzer Prize for drama, a Grammy and the Edward M. Kennedy Prize for Drama Inspired by American History.

“When you’re born in the United States but your parents are from here, you always live a double life,” he said in Spanish. “And that’s a good way to be a writer. You’re always observing the differences between Puerto Rico and New York.”

As an artist, Miranda said it also is his responsibility to create empathy. He recently spoke out about Puerto Rico’s dire economic crisis, calling it a “life or death issue” for his family. He said he was allergic to politics, but praised a rescue package that U.S. President Barack Obama recently signed into law to help the U.S. territory emerge from a decade-long economic crisis. Miranda also urged Puerto Ricans to analyze what they want for the island’s future.

NEW YORK – The television revivals at Netflix that began in February with “Fuller House” continue as the streaming network announces premiere dates for two more series reboots.

Netflix said “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life” will debut globally on Nov. 25. A new Latino version of “One Day at a Time” premieres Jan. 6.

The new “Gilmore Girls” brings back the popular mother-daughter dramedy that aired from 2000-2006. Each of the four 90-minute chapters covers each of four seasons of the year. The series brings back original stars Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel, with creator Amy Sherman-Palladino also returning.

The new “One Day a Time” reimagines the 1970s sitcom classic, this time centering on a Cuban-American family. Original producer Norman Lear is back for its 13-episode first season.

Slash joined them on “Paradise City.”

The musical stays close to the plot of the Jack Black-led 2003 film, in which a wannabe rocker enlists his fifth-graders to form a rock group and conquer the Battle of the Bands.

Slash is touring with Guns N’ Roses.

Hiroshima unhappy with A-bomb park as ‘Pokestop’

The city wants them deleted by Aug. 6, the anniversary of the 1945 bombing and the date of an annual ceremony to remember the victims.

Spider veins unsightly but harmless Dear Dr. K: I have developed many small, thin veins on my legs. I would like to get rid of them. What is the most effective treatment?

Dear Reader: Superficial leg veins, sometimes called “spider veins,” occur when tiny veins appear just below the surface of the skin, causing red, blue or purple discolorations. Spider veins get their name from the shape of the discolorations. Some cases of spider veins can be quite small; others are more noticeable. They might make you feel self-conscious, but they are harmless.

(I’ve put an illustration of spider veins on my website, www.askdoctork.com.)

Spider veins are a sign there are abnormalities in the deeper veins of the legs.

Those deep veins have little valves in them.

Blood in the veins of the legs is returning from the legs to the heart. When we are sitting or standing, gravity is pulling the blood downward, away from the heart. The valves prevent gravity from doing that.

As we get older, the valves become less effective. The extra blood gravity pulls down into the leg veins causes the pressure in the veins to rise. Ultimately, that increased pressure swells the tiny veins beneath the skin – leading to spider veins.

Spider veins are most common on the thighs, ankles and calves. They are more common in women than men, and they can run in families. Some cases are related to pregnancy, use of birth control pills or weight gain. Spider veins may be permanent, or they may disappear on their own, especially if they are caused by pregnancy or certain medications.

Spider veins do not require treatment for any medical reason. Treatment usually is done for cosmetic reasons only.

In some people, support stockings may decrease the size of existing spider veins

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff and help to prevent new ones. If that doesn’t do the trick, the two most common cosmetic treatments for spider veins are sclerotherapy and laser treatment: • Sclerotherapy involves having a salt solution injected directly into the affected area. This liquid causes irritation and inflammation of the vein, leading to its collapse. The area might be tender for a few days. Any bruising should fade over a few weeks. Sclerotherapy may require multiple treatments. The injections can be slightly painful.

• Laser treatment directs pulses from a laser light to the spider veins, causing tiny blood clots to form. The blood vessels that form the legs of the “spider” become blocked off and are reabsorbed by the body.

Each treatment has its pros and cons.

Sclerotherapy is better for larger veins, but it involves needles and injections. Laser therapy can be as effective for smaller veins, but it may result in loss of skin pigment. In studies comparing the treatments, sclerotherapy is more likely to be successful.

Maintaining a healthy weight and staying physically fit tend to reduce the pressure inside leg veins. Wearing support hose can protect further against the development of more spider veins. To get rid of the ones you have, talk to your doctor about the alternatives I’ve described.

Dear Abby: I’m 30 and have lived with my boyfriend, “Shane,” for two years. We spend lots of time together, our families socialize and we have a good relationship. My problem is Shane’s use of social media. He takes a lot of pictures and posts them online while we’re together, but I am never in them and he never mentions I’m there.

We took trips to Las Vegas, New York and Jamaica. He posted dozens of pictures of himself, but none of us together. When we go to nice restaurants, he shoots pictures of the food and solo selfies, but never mentions I’m there, too. He has female friends I have never met who comment on all his fabulous adventures.

It appears to me Shane has created an online image as an exciting, jet-setting single guy. But when I say that, he tells me I am being “immature.” I am considering ending the relationship because of this. What do you think? – Out Of

Hampshire’s Woods, Huntley’s Flores transfer

Other players from area elect to attend Harvest Christian

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com Neither Brennen Woods nor J.J. Flores had any concerns about playing time at their respective schools.

Both were varsity players since their freshman seasons – Woods at Hampshire, Flores at Huntley – who had played significant roles for their teams.

Now, those two, the best players on their Fox Valley Conference teams, will be teammates this season at Harvest Christian Academy in Elgin, which could become a Class 1A powerhouse in northern Illinois.

Woods, a senior guard, and Flores, a junior point guard, are part of a large group joining the Lions this season.

Also coming are Andre White Jr., the son of the new Harvest coach and a transfer from Loyola Academy, as well as Hampshire freshmen Collin Woods (Brennen’s brother) and Wendell Yamsaun, and Huntley freshman Jon Lindquist.

Brennen Woods, who is 6-foot-4 and led the Whip-Purs at 12.6 points a game, said it was a hard decision to leave. His freshman brother would not have had to change residence, but by IHSA rules, Brennen must change residence to outside District 300 to be eligible to play at a private school.

“It was a difficult decision for me, not so much for my brother because he’s coming out of middle school,” Woods said. “I’ve been at Hampshire three years and I have friends and teachers I have relationships with and everything. It was pretty hard for me.”

Flores, who averaged 8.6 points and was a two-year starter for the Red Raiders, also had to change residence.

He did not return a phone call or text messages and voicemails left on his cellphone.

Huntley coach Will Benson heard rumors of a transfer in May, but said Flores told him he was staying at Huntley. Over the Memorial Day weekend, Benson learned from a Huntley administrator that Flores was transferring.

“To be honest, I was a little perturbed at how it was handled,” Ben-

Hampshire won in overtime, 74-73. son said. “Two years, we worked together and no one in our building has stuck up for that kid more than me. It just bugged me the whole way it went down.”

Lindquist is a 6-3 forward who Benson envisioned starting with the sophomore team and having a chance for a varsity promotion. Benson said Lindquist’s mother told him Lindquist was guaranteed a starting spot at Harvest Christian.

Harvest Christian, which is located just off Randall Road in Elgin, has an enrollment of 179 for classification purposes this school year, based on its enrollment last September. The Lions boys basketball team was 8-21 last season and Harvest athletic director Dave

Lockwood hired Andre White Sr. as the new head coach.

White Jr., a sophomore, started last season as a 5-7 guard at Loyola and is regarded as one of the top players in the 2019 class in the state. Lockwood understands there are hard feelings from other schools, both those who had players transfer and those in his own Northeastern Athletic Conference.

“I can’t tell people not to come to my school,” Lockwood said. “What I can tell them is we run our program with the highest level of character and integrity. If they’re going to come to my school and not do what the IHSA mandates for them to be eligible, they’re not going to play for Harvest Christian Academy.”

Lockwood said he communicated with people who had questions about so many transfers coming to one tiny school, but denies there was any recruiting of current high school players.

Benson said several schools had called the IHSA about Harvest’s boys basketball team. IHSA assistant executive director Matt Troha confirmed the calls were made after seeing players with Harvest Christian in summer league games.

Troha said the IHSA learned that Harvest Christian was following procedures with the new players. Troha said no investigation was likely unless a school from which a student was transferring did not concur.

Still, so many new players at one small school raises questions.

“Do you think, after winning eight games in a 1A conference, that these kids really came and sought you out?”

Benson asked.

Lockwood explained that the transfers, or freshman enrollments, happened mainly because of one player who was working out with former Bears wide receiver Marcus Robinson, a speed and agility trainer.

“I didn’t know any of (the players),” Lockwood said. “Andre didn’t know any of them (other than his son).”

Lockwood was looking for someone to train his sixth-grade son Ty and was referred to White Sr., who coaches basketball players in the Waukegan area.

Ty did skills training with White Sr. and the dialogue between Lockwood and White Sr. began about the head coaching position, which was open.

Lockwood said Wendell Yamsaun’s father, Homer, was talking with Robinson at one of his son’s training sessions and Robinson spoke highly of Harvest Christian. Robinson’s daughter, Mikayla, plays volleyball at Harvest and is committed to South Carolina.

The Yamsauns looked at the school and liked it. Wendell Yamsaun had played AAU basketball with Lindquist and told him about Harvest Christian.

“When Homer came and visited, he started communicating with others and said, ‘You need to check this place out,’ ” Lockwood said. “That’s really how it happened. It’s really not as grandiose as a lot of people want to make it out to be with recruiting. It was just some families who had played basketball together, parents talking to other parents led people here.”

Ben Whitehouse will begin his second season as Hampshire’s head coach without his best player and two freshmen who potentially could have helped the varsity team.

What to watch

White Sox at Cubs, 7:10 p.m., CSN, WGN, MLB

Maggie Finnegan’s desire to play softball in the Big Ten Conference started at an early age after attending camps at Northwestern University in Evanston with her dad, Sean, and mom, Lisa.

“When I was little, I would go to all of their camps, and that’s when I started to hear how good the Big Ten was,” said Finnegan, who will be a sophomore at Marian Central in the fall. “And I knew I was going to go to a Big Ten school, even if it wasn’t Northwestern.”

Finnegan, who recently turned 15, was right all along. She made an unofficial visit to Penn State on July 19. That same day, she gave her commitment to Nittany Lions coach Amanda Lehotak.

“I really wanted to go to a Big Ten school, so when Penn State started showing interest in me, I kind of researched more and saw a huge variety of majors and a good softball team,” she said.

“When I got to the school and saw how beautiful it was, I kind of just knew it was right for me.”

Penn State started showing interest a year ago, and Central Michigan, Ohio University, Illinois State and Stanford also showed varying levels of interest.

Last week’s visit to State College, Pennsylvania, was Finnegan’s first.

“My parents made it very clear that the decision was completely up to me, but

they kind of gave me their top (choices),” Finnegan said. “I knew that they would give me good advice, and I kind of leaned on them.”

Finnegan, who lives in McHenry, hit .526 for the Hurricanes last season with 50 hits, including 13 doubles, two triples and four homers, and 37 runs scored. She was a Northwest Herald second-team all-area pick, and formed one of the area’s most dangerous 1-2 punches with Emily Miller.

She plays her travel softball with Illinois Chill Gold, playing on both the 16U and 14U teams. Local players within the last year to move on to or commit to Division-I schools from Chill Gold also include McHenry grad Alex Martens (Kentucky) and Prairie Ridge’s Hailey Baker (Illinois).

2015 McHenry grads Carly Mattson (Austin Peay) and Kristin Koepke (Evansville) also played on Chill Gold.

Her travel coach, Gerry Quinn, guessed that one of the reasons Penn State offered Finnegan was partly the result of a tournament in Boulder, Colorado the week before the Fourth of July.

She hit five home runs in nine games, playing against top competition in a national event.

“Her athleticism is one of the reasons why a Big Ten school would be interested in her,” Quinn said. “She also technically has a pretty good swing, and very good power for someone who is not particularly big. She’s still pretty young, so there’s

an opportunity to improve her game in all facets.”

Finnegan, who played second base for Marian Central, said coach Lehotak didn’t promise her a spot on the field, but Finnegan’s abilities matched what she was looking for. Penn State went 30-24 last season, reaching the Big Ten Tournament semifinals for the third time in program history.

Finnegan played outfield for Chill Gold this summer, giving her valuable defensive versatility.

“She was looking for fast players would could hit for power, and she said that I was right for that,” Finnegan said.

“She wasn’t going to promise me a position on the field, but if I showed her how hard I was working, she would put me on the field.”

Now that Finnegan’s college plans are clear, she feels “like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders,” and is looking forward to her sophomore season at Marian Central. The Hurricanes went 11-14 last season, falling to Hampshire in a Class 3A regional semifinal, but did not lose a single player to graduation.

“In the beginning, it was a little rough because I didn’t know anybody, but by the end of the year, it was really fun and I made a lot of new friends,” said Finnegan, who plans on visiting Penn State again in the fall. “There is no more added pressure to compete against any one of my teammates now.”

CLC’s Wyatt Blake picks up Missouri offer, his fifth

The 6-4, 300-pound junior also has offers from Northwestern, Indiana, Virginia, C. Michigan

By JON STYF

jstyf@shawmedia.com Wyatt Blake first met Missouri coaches at a satellite camp in Lake Park on June 8.

That day, the 6-foot-4 and 300 pound Crystal Lake Central incoming junior did the broad jump and shuttle run separately for the Tigers.

Coach Jon McLaughlin also sent Missouri coaches a video of Blake squatting and they watched his film.

On Wednesday afternoon, Missouri became Blake’s fifth Division I scholarship offer when he spoke with offensive line coach Glen Elarbee.

“He was like, ‘We were trying to be one of the first ones because you’re going to be a high-offer kid,’ ” Blake said

he was told.

He holds offers from Northwestern, Indiana, Virginia and Central Michigan as well.

This summer, Blake and his teammates are working on a new passing offense with new offensive line coach Steve Spoden and offensive coordinator Dirk Stanger that involves more zone blocking schemes.

“It’s been going pretty well,” Blake said. “We’re picking up the offense really quick.

“For me, it’s not that big of a deal. … we’ll have less double teams and more zone blocking.”

Blake said he’ll be playing right tackle in the fall along with defensive John Konstantaras for Shaw Media line, substituting in on defense with Crystal Lake Central offensive lineman Wyatt Blake takes a drink during practice at the senior left tackle Dan Berg. high school on Monday in Crystal Lake.

Putin slams discrimination as banned athletes join send-off

MOSCOW – Russian President Vladimir Putin hit out at “discrimination” against the country’s banned track and field athletes at a Kremlin send-off ceremony Wednesday for its depleted Olympic team.

Fencers, triathletes and table tennis players became the latest team of Russians to be cleared to compete in the Olympics by the governing bodies of their sports ahead of the Moscow ceremony, but the IAAF rejected a bid by the bulk of the track and field team to be reinstated.

More than 100 Russians from the 387-strong Olympic team have been banned so far from going to Rio de Janeiro.

USA Cycling at crossroads as Rio Olympics approaches

Kristin Armstrong could win her third straight Olympic gold medal in Rio. The women’s pursuit team is favored to capture gold. Several Americans could land on the BMX podium.

Will anybody in the U.S. notice? Or even care?

That is perhaps the biggest challenge facing USA Cycling as the Rio Games arrive.

One of the nation’s most popular participatory sports is dealing with aging athletes, declining membership and a vast disconnect between amateur riders and their elite counterparts.

It has left USA Cycling officials to wonder just where they stand in the sport’s structure.

– Wire report

Continued from page 2 “Collin [Woods] is a very talented player,” Whitehouse said. “He’s quicker than Brennen was as a freshman. Wendell was our starting point guard at Hampshire Middle School. We’re just doing our thing, doing it the right way, moving forward. Unfortunately for us, it’s three kids that would have been in our program.”

Brennen Woods is a special talent, one who can dunk and hit 3-pointers, and who has received some NCAA Division I interest.

“I had a really good relationship with Brennen,” Whitehouse said. “I’ve known him for many years, so from a teacher-student aspect, I’m definitely going to miss seeing Brennen in the hallways. He’s a very lovable, likable kid. So that part’s difficult.”

Brennen Woods said the other transfers did not affect him transferring. Woods, who played with the Illinois Wolves AAU team this summer, wanted to go to Harvest Christian for the academics and religion.

Benson said Flores has moved to Carpentersville, while Lindquist, as an incoming freshman, did not have to change his residence. The third-year Raiders coach was miffed at players leaving a mostly Class 4A conference to play in the NAC, a 1A conference.

“If you think that four years on varsity at Harvest Christian instead of 31/2 at Huntley is the best role for (Lindquist), you have to make that decision,” Benson said. “If you’re telling me, over the course of his career, he’s going to play better competition at that level with that schedule, I completely disagree.

The whole thing is very shady, no question about it. I just don’t get it.”

Offense aims to improve

By ARTHUR ARKUSH

aarkush@profootballweekly.com BOURBONNAIS – Rather than focusing on the large offensive void created by the departures of former Pro Bowlers Matt Forte and Martellus Bennett, and offensive line stalwarts Matt Slauson and Jermon Bushrod, the Bears reported to camp Wednesday excited about a youth movement ahead.

After all, they finished 23rd in scoring a season ago, largely due to attrition, and the Bears are unsurprisingly selling the jarring changes as a potential positive.

Sure, Jay Cutler conceded Forte, the Bears’ No. 2 all-time leading rusher, is irreplaceable – “you can’t [replace him],” said Cutler candidly. “Not in a year anyway,” – but it likely wasn’t by accident he started the next sentence by referencing a “young” running back corps, led by 24-year-old Jeremy Langford.

“I was looking at the roster a couple of weeks ago and I feel like there’s been a major shift in experience – especially on the offensive side,” said Cutler. “I’m at 11 [years in the league] and then you look down, there’s a couple of nines, a couple of eights and mostly five and under, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

“I think a new talent and new guys in the building, there’s new energy and new attitude. I’ve em-

braced it. I’ve enjoyed it. I think the coaching staff’s done a great job of getting all these young guys up to speed. It’s a good group right now.”

Chicago has gotten younger up front, the first area Ryan Pace cited when asked why the Bears’ offense can improve despite the myriad production lost, where it needed six different O-line combinations in 2015, and eight the year prior, after being one of three NFL clubs to start the same five for 16 games in 2013.

Kyle Long admitted there will undoubtedly be some growing pains, but he’ll attempt to spread the wisdom he learned as a rookie starter with guys like Cody Whitehair and Hroniss Grasu.

“Yeah, it’s something I’ve had to deal with, said Long. “Everybody’s been a rookie at one point if you’ve been in the league, so to have a guy in his shoes come in, highly drafted guy who understands the pressure on him, he wants to make sure that everything’s taken care of on his end prior to getting to camp, so he’s done a good job of staying on top of workouts and everything.”

The Bears could have five new Week One starters, but for all the changes, from Whitehair to Jordan Howard to undrafted tight end Ben Braunecker, it’s the guys who remain that could help this offense ascend.

“I think it will be good hav-

ing Kevin White back healthy and Alshon stay healthy this season,” Pace said. “Those are going to be important things – the health of our receivers.”

Pace, Cutler and Tracy Porter didn’t bother holding back their excitement with White, who they say is healthy, hungry and just started flashing his dazzling ability this offseason after a redshirt rookie campaign.

Indeed, a run-first offense will be maximized if Jeffery and White are healthy and creating mismatches, favorable fronts and, most importantly, explosive plays.

“I thought that was pretty seamless,” Cutler said of the transition from Adam Gase to Dowell Loggains.

“We had some new guys out there, especially up front, kind of getting those guys caught up a little bit.

“Getting Alshon back for the minicamp I thought was big for us.

He had a great attitude, he was happy to be out there with us and Kevin made some steps coming off that year of injuries, getting him back into the offense, you know the normal guys were making plays. So it wasn’t that much different than the year before.”

The offensive recipe might not change under Loggains, but the ingredients are definitely different.

We’ll find out soon whether different is better.

Chicago Bears’ Kevin White waits to speak to reporters after NFL veteran mini camp activities at Halas Hall Tuesday, June 14, 2016 in Lake Forest.

BOURBONNAIS – Training camp is an opportunity to see change and progress. It’s a time for that magic word that all 32 teams have, ‘hope.’ For the Bears, the most noticeable change that can inspire optimism for improvement that will be observed is in the front seven on defense.

Enter Danny Trevathan, Jerrell Freeman, Akiem Hicks, Leonard Floyd and Jonathan Bullard. Welcome back Eddie Goldman, Pernell McPhee, Lamarr Houston and Willie Young.

Just ask Jay Cutler about the revamped group. He noticed the difference without pads on in OTAs. “I felt it was night and day. A lot more speed over there,” he said Wednesday as the Bears reported to training camp at Olivet Nazarene University. “A different attitude. A different swagger to them, if you will, especially the two inside guys. I mean those guys are flying around, they’re making the football team better.”

Trevathan has impressed his teammates not only with his play on the field, but with his mentality. He doesn’t talk like someone who got a new contract after winning a Super Bowl, so get used to it, as he explains the type of leadership he brings.

“I’m all about attitude and hustle and just playing ball,” Trevathan said.

“I don’t care what happened before.

You can always make up for it, just go 100 miles per hour and have fun. This game is short. Your attitude carries over to the team. There’s a lot of time when a team’s down you put your head down. I hate that. Even if we’re down we’re going to fight until the end.”

The worst-kept secret in Bourbonnais the next two weeks will be the Bears’ need to improve on last year’s takeaway total of only 17, and that’s where the front seven can help.

“We’re all excited about that group and we all know pressure on the quarterback can equate to turnovers and help the secondary,” said Ryan Pace.

“I’m fired up about that going forward.

We’ve got all different types of rushers, which is exciting now with the power rushers and the speed rushers. We can get some push inside with those big defensive linemen, so that is good to see.”

Cubs’ Addison Russell (27) takes a curtain call after hitting a grand slam off White Sox pitcher Jacob Turner during the eighth Wednesday in Chicago.

CUBS 8, WHITE SOX 1

Baez hits 2-run HR, Russell adds slam as Cubs beat Sox

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

All Cubs manager Joe Maddon knew about Anthony Ranaudo before Wednesday night was what the manager saw on some video from a minor-league game.

“I saw some pitches up,” Maddon said.

A few hours later, so did Kris Bryant and Javy Baez.

Bryant’s solo homer with one out in the sixth, and Baez’s two-out, tworun homer to the back of the left-field bleachers in the seventh spoiled a White Sox debut for Ranaudo that included no-hit pitching until Bryant’s homer.

By the time Addison Russell’s grand slam off ex-Cub Jacob Turner reached the seats in left in the eighth inning, the Cubs were off to an 8-1 rout of the Sox at Wrigley Field after losing to the Sox at U.S. Cellular Field the previous two nights.

Spoiled?

Ranaudo also accounted for the game’s only run to that point, with a homer off Jason Hammel leading off the fifth – the first career hit for the 26-year-old right-hander acquired from the Rangers for Matt Ball in May. Until Bryant got to him in the sixth, Ranaudo had scored more runs by himself than the Cubs’ entire struggling lineup had since Monday night.

Hammel (11-7) pitched seven strong innings to win his third straight start out of the All-Star break, reaching a career high in wins for a season.

He struck out seven, walked two and pitched out of a two-on, one-out jam in the fourth by getting former Cub Dioner Navarro to fly to center and striking out Monday night’s hero Tyler Saladino.

Hammel has a 2.00 ERA in his three starts since taking doctor’s advice at the All-Star break to start eating more potato chips to solve a cramping

problem he experienced in two starts during the first half.

“It makes sense. Potatoes are a good source of potassium, and carbs, and salt,” said Hammel, who received a four-box supply of Utz potato chips last week in the clubhouse. “It’s obviously not the breakfast – or any type of meal – of champions. But there are quirky things I guess for everybody.”

“It’s a perfect excuse to eat more potato chips,” Maddon said.

Until Russell’s slam, Cubs newcomer Aroldis Chapman looked to be in line for his first save opportunity since Monday’s trade from the Yankees.

Former closer Hector Rondon pitched a scoreless eighth in his new setup role.

And Chapman got his debut in the ninth, his first appearance since Saturday. He shut down the White Sox with two strikeouts.

OUTDOORS Steve Sarley vertically if you are drifting or let out a little line to run it behind your watercraft. Remember that the distance between the weight and the hook makes a difference. If you tie the hook a foot above the weight, the hook will only be six inches above it if you are pulling it far from the boat.

This is a deadly method to put your bait in the strike zone of feeding fish. It’s also perfect for fishing a bait above a dirty or mossy bottom and keeping your bait free and clean.

Wacky worming is extremely uncomplicated. Tie a hook onto your line and impale a Senko-style plastic bait on it and cast. That is it!

Use light line and no leader. I like using octopus-style hooks. A hook with a big gap between the point and the shaft is a necessity. Some people use rubber grommets or sleeves over where they hook the plastic worm but I feel those are counter-productive.

You save on baits but don’t get as many bites.

You can hook the plastic worm through the head but I prefer hooking it through the center smooth section.

This way, when you cast and let the bait fall, drives the fish wild as it slowly falls and undulates. The worm makes a tantalizing v-shaped motion as it falls through the water when it’s hooked in the center.

I think that the actual Senko brand plastic worm made by Gary Yamamoto is the best of the dozens of types on the market. They are very pliable and have tremendous action.

When you fish wacky style, you have to really pay attention to your line. Oftentimes, a bass will pick up the worm and run to the left or to the right, or even straight toward you.

You won’t ever feel a hit or a bite.

If you aren’t paying attention, by the time you realize you have a fish on the end of your line; it will drop it and be off and onto something else. Wacky worm fishing is not for those of you without patience and the ability to concentrate at all times.

If you haven’t used a drop shot rig or tried wacky worming, you do not know what you are missing. Give them a try.

Dave’s Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports: “The fishing at the McHenry and Algonquin Dams has changed as the water comes up and goes down. Recent heavy rains have fish moving to the banks and the back of channels as the water comes up. Then as it goes down, the fish pull out with the falling water. Catfishing is good on cut bait and stink bait.

Bass are hitting Spro frogs in the slop.

Fishing at Vulcan Lakes in Crystal Lake’s Three Oaks Recreation Area is good for bass and pan fish using night crawlers on a slip float.

Try fishing in 8 to 10 feet of water.

Lake Atwood in the McHenry County Conservation Area’s The Hollows is loaded with small panfish and is a great place to take kids.

Bring plenty of redworms or nightcrawlers.

Both Three Oaks and The Hollows’ Lake Atwood do not allow minnows.”

Call 815-455-2040 for an update on any of these reported areas.”

Geneva and Delavan – Geneva and Delavan are in their typical summer patterns right now. Geneva bass are best on drop shot rigs fished on humps coming out of deeper water with motor oil, watermelon and pumpkinseed being the best colors.

Delavan bass are taking the Senkos on the deep weed edges. Here’s a tip: If the skies are cloudless and there isn’t much wind, skip Geneva and hit Delavan. Those kind of days make Geneva close to impossible to fish successfully.

Chris Taurisano of T-Bone Guide Service (www.tboneguideservice. com - 630-330-0090) sends word, “This past week of fishing was a bit bittersweet in the fact that we had a decent bite for muskies but due to the water temps reaching 80-plus degrees, we will not be fishing for them until we see a major cool-down.

It is extremely detrimental to the fish and plenty of delayed mortality will take place when you release fish caught in such warm water. I strongly discourage anyone fishing for muskies in this warm water.

On the upside of things, the white bass have certainly turned on and have been very active lately with many nice big ones chasing bait.

Walleyes have been scattered between three and five feet and also in 10 to 14 feet but still very catchable on jigs tipped with live bait and also on trolled crankbaits.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County www.bbbsmchenry.org • 815-385-3855

Crappies seem to be a bit deeper and active on some days taking jigs and plastics. Catfish are very active these days and are a good alternative for some nice action. Have fun and enjoy our ‘dog days.’ ” Lake Michigan – The Lake Michigan Fishing Report is provided by Captain Bob Rossa of Migrator Charters - 815-338-8093. “The Illinois waters of Lake Michigan were on fire this past week. Lots of steelhead up to 16 pounds, along with kings in the 20-pound class were caught this past week. The early morning bite was from 75 to 100 feet of water.

Later in the day, the bite was better in the 120- to 145-foot depth. Most of the steelhead were caught on four- to eight-color leads, while the kings were being caught on Dipsy Divers and downriggers. Chrome flashers with Howie Bullfrog Flies, and Moonshine’s RV Green Hulk were some of the best baits. Shore fishing continues to be fairly slow.”

WATERFOWL RULES

It’s never too early to start planning for waterfowl season. The IDNR has announced the proposed waterfowl season dates and bag limits for the 2016–17 seasons.

The recommendations include 60day duck seasons in each of the state’s four waterfowl hunting zones, along with 107 days of Canada goose-hunting opportunity in the North Zone.

This year, Illinois will open the regular duck, Canada goose, and snow goose seasons on Oct. 15 in the North Zone. The proposed daily duck bag limit is six and may include no more than four mallards (two hens), three wood ducks, three scaup, two redheads, two pintails, two canvasback, one black duck, and one mottled duck.

The proposed daily bag limit of mergansers is five, only two of which may be hooded mergansers. The possession limit for ducks and mergansers is three times the daily bag limit by species and sex.

Canada and white-fronted goose daily bag limits will be two with a possession limit of six. The September 2016 early Canada goose season is Sept. 1-15 with a daily limit of five and a possession limit of 15 geese in the North Zone.

Two forms of fishing that have become extremely popular in the past few years have been drop shotting and wacky worming. The reason that they have become so popular is because they are incredibly productive. Both of these methods catch a lot of fish.

The people that drop shot and fish wacky style probably use these methods most of the time, even to the point that they will use them when something else might even work more effectively. They just get into the pattern and have a hard time giving it up.

People who don’t drop shot or fish wacky probably aren’t aware of how to do them or just don’t like trying new things. That is a definite mistake. These are a couple of methods that really deserve your attention.

Drop shotting is a method of fishing in which the bait and hook is placed above the weight. That is the opposite of the way all of us were brought up.

You used to put the hook on your line and crimp on a split-shot sinker a footor-so above the hook, right?

To drop shot, you attach the hook to the line and let the line run down past the hook and attach a sinker to the end of the line. Simple, isn’t it.

You’ll need to know the correct knot to attach the hook to the line because the hook needs to stand out at a 90-degree angle perpendicular to the line with the hook pointed up. It takes just a little practice to get it right. I use red Standout drop shot hooks.

They are bent so that the line runs through them two times and always stands up correctly.

Leave a length of line hanging down and attach a weight to the end.

You can use a split-shot but they seem to twirl and twist the line too much.

There are special weights available for drop shot rigs and are worth the extra money.

The weights press on easily and pull off if you get snagged on rocks or debris. You just yank and the weight comes off. You replace just the weight, which is a heck of a lot easier than re-tying the whole rig.

You just thread a plastic onto the drop shot hook so that the plastic stands out away from the line and perpendicular to it.

You can use any type of plastic but worms seem to work the best.

Roboworms are very popular and I am a big fan of the Jackall Flick Shake worm for drop shotting.

Target leaving IndyCar after 27 seasons with Chip Ganassi

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Target will leave IndyCar at the end of this season after 27 years with Chip Ganassi Racing that included 11 championships and four Indianapolis 500 victories.

The exit comes as Target is examining all of its marketing platforms under new chairman Brian Cornell. Target is also the primary sponsor of Kyle Larson in NASCAR’s top Sprint Cup Series and will return to his car in 2017.

Target’s relationship with Ganassi is one of the longest in any racing series, and the retail giant was a key player in helping Ganassi build his organization.

Target not only sponsored Ganassi’s first car as a team owner, it eventually became a partner as the Ganassi team

grew to one of the top two players in open wheel racing.

Bettman: Research on concussion -CTE link ‘remains nascent’

ST. PAUL, Minn. – NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman’s reluctance to link hits to the head in hockey with a degenerative brain disease found in several deceased former players has reached Congress.

League attorneys have filed Bettman’s letter to Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal with U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson, who’s presiding over a class-action concussion lawsuit against the NHL. Bettman’s 24-page response to Blumenthal was dated Friday. He said research on the link between concussions and chronic traumatic encephalopathy “remains nascent.”

By JAKE COYLE

The Associated Press

Jason Bourne, as played by Matt Damon across four movies, forever is disappearing off the grid only to reluctantly resurface years later and again menace the CIA. He’s the spy who came in from the cold only to return to the cold, come in again, and, yet again, head back to the cold.

In the chilly and bleak “Jason Bourne,” the amnesia-ed assassin has been resurrected again, along with director Paul Greengrass, with whom Damon returns to the franchise after a nine-year break. Bourne still is brooding. Greengrass’ hand-held camera still is frenetic. And the saga’s lethal precision still is sharp.

The spy game, already far from a martini-sipping affair in previous installments, is resolutely grim in “Jason Bourne.” The superspy, now a hulking mass of bullet-scarred muscle, is spending his days torturing himself in bareknuckle brawls, haunted by his past. In shattering set-pieces and terse emotionless dialogue, any remaining sunlight has been drained away. The amount of people brazenly killed by Vincent Casell, the “asset” in Bourne’s pursuit, may well outnumber the words spoken by Bourne in the entire film.

Though first conceived in 1980 by Robert Ludlum, Bourne is perhaps the ultimate post-9/11 hero. Especially in the hands of Greengrass (who also employed his gritty realism in the Sept. 11 drama “Flight 93”), Bourne is a wreck-

“JASON BOURNE” STARRING: Matt Damon, Tommy Lee Jones, Alicia Vikander PLOT: Jason Bourne, now remembering who he truly is, tries to uncover hidden truths about his past.

RATED: PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, and brief strong language RUNNING TIME: 2 hours, 3 minutes ing ball of accountability for America’s clandestine past. He’s part fantasy (his preternatural control of out-of-control events is reassuring) and part reality (American disillusionment made visceral).

In “Jason Bourne,” the digital dragnet is tightening around Bourne.

The film is self-consciously set in a post-Snowden world; the CIA is hacked

by Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles, whose smarts have given all of these films a kick), who’s threatening to reveal the covert Treadstone operation.

The film, penned by Greengrass and Christopher Rouse (editor of previous “Bourne” films, and also this one), introduces a tech magnate (Riz Ahmed) whose celebrated social networking platform secretly is feeding information to CIA director Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones, whose wonderful sad face at this point has everything good and bad about America written all over it).

In a way, Bourne is himself a leak.

He’s a rogue weapon who can’t remember his own encryption code. Here, the

mystery he’s trying to solve revolves around his father’s role in his initial recruitment.

But aside from updating to today’s surveillance state, “Jason Bourne” largely sticks to the franchise’s familiar moves, and they often don’t have the same kinetic finesse they used to. Here again are scenes of digging through old CIA documents, breathless stretches of crowded escapes and public rendezvous where Bourne fools lurking agents.

The film essentially is sandwiched between two mammoth, extended set pieces: First, a fiery riot in Athens where Bourne comes out of hiding to meet Parsons; and later, a showdown in Las Vegas that brings him back to U.S. soil. Both outstay their welcome (a vehicle plowing through traffic in Vegas has unfortunate shades of the tragedy in Nice) and the franchise’s propulsion gives way to a pummeling blunt force.

The exception is Alicia Vikander, who enters the franchise as the CIA’s cyber ops head and has her own motives of tossing aside the agency’s old guard. Whenever she’s on screen, her steely but agile presence brightens the film’s dour gaze.

Yet even when “Jason Bourne” doesn’t click with the same rhythm as its predecessors, it has a weight that outclasses nearly every other big action movie around. National identity is investigated, and violence has repercussions: both astonishing things in a summer blockbuster.

But if Bourne re-emerges again, hopefully Greengrass and company at least can give him someone to talk to.

jkunzer@shawmedia.com Mozart will have its 30th year in Woodstock as part of an inaugural Midwest Mozart Festival opening July 31 and featuring a series of concerts.

The first of three concerts will take place at 3 p.m. July 31 at Sanfilippo Estate in Barrington Hills, followed by 3 p.m. concerts Aug. 7 and 14 at the Woodstock Opera House.

The concerts will feature Brian Groner, the music director of the Fox Valley Symphony in Wisconsin and the Midwest Mozart Festival’s artistic director, as guest conductor.

A highlight of the July 31 concert will be a performance of “A Musical Joke,” described by Elgin Symphony Orchestra violinist Carol Dylan, who will perform as part of the festival, as “Mozart poking fun at some of the bad composers of his day.”

“It’s a really funny piece,” she said. “It’s Mozart’s idea of what bad music of the day was like.”

She, along with her husband, Zachary, president of the board of directors for the Midwest Mozart Festival, and other musicians who have performed at Woodstock’s Mozart Festival through the years, came together when the group that previous hosted the festival announced it wouldn’t be able to continue.

“We just didn’t want to see this kind of an organization, this arts group, disappear because it was such a remarkable thing that the organization had made it for 29 years in the same venue and location,” Zachary Dylan said. “Woodstock should be proud. It’s a cultural gem, and so the passion was there immediately.”

In only about four months, the musicians created their own nonprofit group and organized the festival.

“It was driven by this deep desire to not let that aspect of something so wonderful just disappear,” said Zach-

CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT: As part of the Midwest Mozart Series, concerts will be performed Aug. 7 and 14 at the Woodstock Opera House. Brian Groner, the music director of the Fox Valley Symphony in Wisconsin, will serve as guest conductor. Violin soloist Kevin Case will perform Aug. 7. ary Dylan, who also had personal motivation.

He and his wife went on their first date on the Woodstock Square after she’d performed one night as part Woodstock’s Mozart Festival. He eventually proposed to her on that same Woodstock Square.

The group of musicians also didn’t want to see the Mozart Festival end before its 30th year in Woodstock.

“We’re looking at a 30th anniversary and then beyond,” Zachary Dylan said. “We’re not going to stop. We have planning in the works to certainly continue and maybe even expand.”

The concerts at the Woodstock Opera House will include showcases of violin soloist Kevin Case Aug. 7 and lyric soprano Susan Nelson Aug. 14.

Nelson will perform three of Mozart’s most famous arias, including “Mi

trade quell’alma ingrate” from “Don Giovanni,” “Ach ich fuhls” from “The Magic Flute” and “Come Scoglio immoto” from “Cosi fan Tutte.”

Tickets for the July 31 concert are $55 at www.sanfilipoofoundation.org.

Tickets for the August concerts range from $25 to $40 ($7 for students with an ID) at www.woodstockoperahouse. com or 815-338-5300. For information, visit www.midwestmozart.org.

Algonquin Founders’ Days to bring more fireworks, fun

By JAMI KUNZER

jkunzer@shawmedia.com It’s Algonquin’s time to shine.

In its 56th year, Founders’ Days returns July 28-31 to Towne Park at 100 Jefferson St. for a communtywide celebration complete with a carnival, Cardboard Boat Regatta, Taste of Founders’, kids’ games, live music, Illinois Battle of the Bands, a petting zoo, “Turn of the Century” parade, fireworks and more.

Organizers are hoping for big crowds at this year’s fest, with headliner Lita Ford, a car show back on historic Main Street, expanded fireworks and the usual favorites.

“Everyone is always impressed with our fireworks show, and they say it’s one of the best anywhere,” said Alan Kirk, festival president.

In years past, the fireworks have come from a single barge in the river.

This year, three barges will be used, “creating a much wider visual effect,” Kirk said.

As part of the expanded show, Founders’ Days is hosting a fireworks VIP seating raffle. Tickets cost $10 each or three for $25 for the chance to win a reserved spot for 12, pizza and drinks, as well as the opportunity to become

Founders’ first “fireworks launcher.”

For information and tickets, visit www. algonquinfoundersdays.com or call 847658-5340.

Along with hard rocker Lita Ford, this year’s Main Stage acts include Pirates Over 40, Rockstar Rodeo, Too White Crew, Serendipity and My Metal Heart (formerly VVX). Gate fees are free July 28, $5 for adults and $2 for children ages 5 to 12 from 5 to 11 p.m. July 29 and from 1 to 5 p.m. July 30; $10 for adults and $2 for children ages 5 to 12 from 5 to 11 p.m. July 30; and $2 for adults and $1 for children ages 5 to 12 from noon to 5 p.m. July 31.

For longtime Algonquin residents, Founders’ Days holds nostalgia, while others come from miles away to take in the festivities, Kirk said. Put on by area businesses and community members – and hundreds of volunteers, with volunteers still needed – the festival truly is a community celebration, Kirk said.

“For me, it’s like the one chance Algonquin has to shine, to put on a really big party,” he said.

Patti LuPone (Helena Rubinstein) stars in “War Paint,” a world premiere musical at Goodman Theatre.

“WAR PAINT”

‘War Paint’ masterfully acted, but plot lacks direction, thrill REVIEWS Regina M. Belt-Daniels

And so, the much awaited world premiere of the pre-Broadway musical “War Paint” has arrived in Chicago via the 856seat Albert Theatre at the Goodman.

Because of high demand, tickets are costly ($44 to $182) and difficult to obtain despite its extended run. Why? Are the buyers compelled by the topic – the relentless 50-year rivalry between beauty innovators Helena Rubenstein and Elizabeth Arden – or the opportunity to see two bona fide Broadway divas, Patti LuPone and Christine Ebersole, on stage at the same time portraying fierce competitors?

Directed by Michael Greif, “War Paint” is the musical adaptation of Lindy Woodhead’s book of the same title. As Goodman’s Artistic Director Robert Falls states, “Few tales of fiction can match the improbably rags-to-riches stories of cosmetic giants Helena Rubenstein and Elizabeth Arden.” Yet, this production energetically attempts to illustrate their saga.

Two-time Tony Award winner and star of “Evita,” “Gypsy” and “Sweeny Todd,” LuPone is Rubenstein, the diminutive 4-foot, 10-inch Polish emigre equally infamous for her scientific beauty creams (“the Louis Pasteur of pancake”) and her Manhattan penthouse art collection. Whether seated at her elaborate desk or descending a staircase resplendent in lush furs,

LuPone is greeted with cheers as she belts and holds notes forever. LuPone is given some of the best comedic lines (“there are no ugly women, only lazy ones”).

Christine Ebersole, the other two-time Tony Award winner and star of “Grey Gardens” and “42nd Street” (and a Winnetka native), is Elizabeth Arden. The Canadian emigre born Florence Nightingale Graham began her career as a nurse, but, by 1929, owned 150 upscale salons. Arden equally was infamous for her race horses, her 600-volt Vienna Youth treatments and, of course, her Red Door signature pink salons. Not as powerful a singer but more classically stylistic, Ebersole is absorbing as she tends her pampered clientele.

Able to masterfully hold their own are the two male leads: John Dorsett as Tommy Lewis, Arden’s often-overlooked husband, and Douglas Sills as Harry Fleming, “the Madison Avenue Shakespeare” devoted to Rubenstein. The production is blessed with a talented ensemble executing pleasing choreography (Christopher Gattelli) and singing flawlessly. Of particular note are Mary Ernster as Mrs. TowbridgePhellps, Mary Claire King as Miss Beam, Erik Liberman as Charles Revson and David Girolmo as Senator Copeland.

Despite these elements, a glorious live orchestra and two of Broadway’s biggest stars lighting the way, “War Paint” seems lackluster. Yes, it is packed with talented performers and gorgeous, leggy dancers.

Yes, it moves smoothly; the costumes (Catherine Zuber) and set (David Korins) are visually sumptuous in shades of cranberry, mauve, blues and pinks. Transi-

WHEN: Through Aug. 21 WHERE: Goodman Theatre, 170 N. Dearborn, Chicago COST & INFO: Running time of 2 hours, 30 minutes with one intermission. Tickets range in cost from $44 to $182. Showtimes, tickets and information: 312-4433800 www.goodmantheatre.org. tions are all there, greatly enhanced by Scott Frankel’s music and Michael Korie’s lyrics, but the songs certainly aren’t hummable or memorable, just entertaining – particularly Tommy and Harry’s song “Dinosaurs,” which laments Rubenstein’s and Arden’s inability to update to younger interests and challenging times and ultimately leads their empires to demise. (Listen for the lines about “epidermis Rex.”) Ebersole’s eleventh-hour song predictably is titled “Pink,” and LuPone’s quiet rage in “Forever Beautiful” is her comparable song.

But the fault is truly the plot; it fails to excite, and it just can’t make up its mind – what is it about? The elitist rivalry between two cosmetic icons? Overcoming outsider status? The success of a woman in a man’s world? Rights and empowerment? Or the age-old love stories of women betrayed by men? Beginning in 1938, with a quick World War II interlude and a full stop in 1964, “War Paint” is enjoyable and certainly worth being in the same room as LuPone and Ebersole. But the production needs some manicuring before it reaches that pentacle of success – Broadway.

Perhaps comparable to “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” who is going to be brave enough to suggest a make-over?

Builder Impact Fees Waived in Sunset Ridge and Thousand Oaks Communities KLM Builders Helps Initiate Waived Fee That Will Save Spring Grove & Richmond, Illinois Home Buyers Thousands Richmond, IL – KLM Builders, Inc. a leading semi-custom home builder in Northern Illinois, has petitioned and helped push through a builder impact fee waiver in the Sunset Ridge and Thousand Oaks communities.

This fee waiver will help home buyers in the area save money on their new home purchase and real estate taxes.

Local governments impose builder impact fees on all new residential construction as a way to cover some of the costs associated with the growth’s impact on the area, including its effect on services such as schools, roads, parks, fire service, and other vital facilities. The rationale behind this fee is that new construction brings in new residents, which increases the burden on these local services. Over the past several years KLM has discovered that many of their new homebuyers are empty nesters that have purchase single family ranch homes and don’t add any kids to the school system. The schools enjoy the benefit of additional tax revenue without additional students.

Builder impact fees affect the price of new homes. Ultimately, having some of these fees waived can save home buyers a significant amount of money. KLM Builders, a local semi-custom home builder, petitioned for a reduction in the residential impact fee in order to help make homes more affordable for buyers interested in the Sunset Ridge and Thousand Oaks

communities. In response to this petition, the village of Spring Grove and Richmond have reduced builder impact fees charged on the new construction of homes by thousands of dollars, with the savings being passed on directly to home buyers.

“Our goal is to make it possible for new and second-home buyers to find the home of their dreams,” says Kim Meier, founder of KLM Builders, Inc. “By working with the cities to waive some of the impact fees, we were able to help reduce costs for families looking for homes in the Sunset Ridge and Thousand Oaks communities.”

One of the housing developments impacted by the waived builders impact fees is Sunset Ridge. This community offers single-family homes starting in the low $200s. The other community impacted by the waived fees is Thousand Oaks, which features custom single family homes on wooded oneacre lots, starting in the upper $300s.

In both communities, home buyers can choose from ranch and two-story plans that are customized based on the buyer’s unique needs. Some of the standard features in both communities include granite countertops, Kohler plumbing fixtures, whirlpool appliances, high efficiency heating and A/C, furniture quality cabinetry, and full basements.

Small Dog

J.M. Barrie wrote, “I am not young enough to know everything.”

I can relate to that. Some 10 years after moving from high school teaching into bridge full time, I bumped into a former pupil. After informing me that he was the sous chef at a famous restaurant, he said, “You know, sir, I now realize that you aren’t as stupid as I thought when you were teaching me.”

A bridge player never knows everything. But to defend well, it helps to have the full arsenal under control: leads, signals, discards, and counting of winners, losers and highcard points.

In this deal, how can the defenders defeat two spades?

West, since his opponents had stopped in an eight-card fit at the two-level, might have made a second takeout double. This would have risked ending in three hearts in a 4-3 fit, but here it would have worked well because three diamonds was makable.

West leads the club ace. East drops the seven, starting a high-low with a doubleton. West cashes his club king and continues with the club queen. What should East discard?

East is making an attitude signal, and it is preferable to throw an encouraging card. Here, East signals with the heart seven.

West, who knows this is high, shifts to his heart three (low from an honor). East wins with his ace and returns the heart two. Even if South cleverly plays his queen smoothly, West should win and lead his last heart, which East ruffs to defeat the contract.

Now for the tough question: How does West know East is out of hearts?

Because if he had begun with A-7-52, he would have led back the five at trick five, the higher of his remaining cards.

Found Thursday, July 14 in Wonder Lake.
