Remaining spelling challenged even in the age of auto correction My favorite feature on the Microsoft Word program is the one that corrects spelling mistakes.

You can be typing along and suddenly throw in an extra vowel into “either,” and it will automatically remove the offending letter and spell the word correctly. Will wonders never cease?

I pride myself as being a good speller, but the dictionary – Webster’s New World College Dictionary Fourth Edition – is always lurking nearby when I am writing to help me find the correct spelling when spell check on the computer is not cooperating.

Because as often as Word automatically corrects misspelled words, it underlines words it can’t correct with a squiggly red line that is brighter than anything on the computer monitor. And I simply cannot go forward until I get rid of that red line. It depends on where that extra vowel goes in “either” as to whether it will correct the word automatically. And it doesn’t do a thing for a correctly spelled word that is misplaced. I frequently spell “out” when I mean “our,” or “is” when I mean “it.” No help there.

I was introduced to the dictionary in third grade by Mrs. Hickey, a stout old woman who probably was all of 50 but seemed to be 100. She encouraged use of the dictionary to weed out misspellings.

One of her pearls of wisdom was to learn to turn to approximately the right page in the dictionary without having to leaf through it.

She explained that this would save an untold amount of time in tracking down the correct spelling. I took her up on that advice, and I practiced opening the dictionary to at least the right letter, if not the right page. She said that would give us a leg up in the working world.

And whenever I get out a dictionary to look up a word, I try to land on the right letter, if not the right page, every time, and I thank Mrs. Hickey for it. I’m pretty good at it. I’ve saved myself plenty of time.

But you have to have an idea of how to spell the word to actually find it, and sometimes that can pose a problem. I used the word “camaraderie” the other day, and I had to look it up, as I could not for the life of me remember how to spell it. I knew it started with a “cam” or possibly a “com.” And then what letters came after that, I was mystified. I was off by too many letters, and automatic spell check wasn’t helping out. I had to go to the dictionary. I got to the C’s quickly enough – thank you, Mrs. Hickey – but sometimes you have a mental block about a word, and “camaraderie” is full of them.

I went to “cam” and ran my finger down the lists, looking for the correct spelling and

WHERE IT’S AT

VIEWS Dick Peterson couldn’t find it, so I switched to “com” and couldn’t find it, so I went back to “cam” and started from the beginning, and there it was.

How I missed it the first time, I don’t know. It was my haste. But now I find out I can be off by a letter, and spell check will correct it automatically. The trouble was, I was off by more than a letter, and that’s when spell check falters.

And, sometimes, when I am lazy, I will try to spell the word correctly in Word, and try variant spellings of the word, slipping a new letter in for one I think is not right, hoping it will get close enough that spell check will fix it for me.

And that works sometimes, but I can spend a minute or two fooling around with spelling before I come close enough and spell check fixes it.

Then spell check doesn’t work for me on that particular word, and I have to switch to my handy Webster’s New World College Dictionary Fourth Edition, and search for it manually.

And, really, that’s the way it should be. Every writer should have the dictionary at his or her elbow to be ready to look the word up, without having to cross the room for it or go to a completely different room to find it. Writers are slothful that way, always looking for the easy way out. Isn’t that what editors are for?

That might have been the case before Word started underlining misspelled words in red to put you on notice. You have to make things right; you can’t push it off on an editor to fix.

It’s staring you right in the face, after all. So you play around with the letters. A lot of times, it’s pretty obvious; you struck a wrong key in typing the word. Other times, it’s people’s last names, and there’s nothing you can do to fix the red. And other times, it’s hard words such as “camaraderie.”

Every writer needs an editor, or two. They’re going to see mistakes that you, the writer, don’t.

It’s right in your mind, but not on paper or the electronic version of paper. Spell check is a nice backup, but it’s not perfect, especially when you use the wrong word that is spelled correctly. If anything, I try to promote camaraderie between the writer and the editor.

POSITIVE CHANGE

Algonquin businesses see less traffic, more customers with bypass in place

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – After the $88.5 million Algonquin Western Bypass opened and traffic regulations were put in place by the village to encourage people to use it, business owners have seen less traffic on Main Street – and say it’s bringing more people to their stores.

“They were concerned that the loss of traffic on Main Street would hurt their business, but actually the reverse is true,” Mayor John Schmitt said.

There are no traffic counts comparing the number of vehicles that used Main Street in Algonquin before and after the bypass was completed in September 2014, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation and Algonquin police.

However, businesses owners who work on Main Street every day have noticed a change and hope to see business improve even more with the village’s downtown revitalization plan.

Anthony’s Barber Shop owner Anthony Orlandino has been at 150 S. Main St. for about 14 years and said that before the bypass was created, people would have trouble crossing the street because it was so congested.

Once the bypass was finished, trafPhotos by Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com fic started to clear up, for the most part.

CARY – When Wonder Lake resident Jackie Howen arrived at Cary Dental Associates LLC in April for a checkup and cleaning, she had no inkling of the news that would follow.

As hygienist Bonnie Graff, an employee for the past 17 years, performed a routine oral cancer screening, she noticed an abnormality in Howen’s throat and palate.

hprokop@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – When an RV with a sign on it that read “This is a sign.

You should marry me,” drove down Eastgate Drive during the Algonquin Founders’ Days parade, Agnieszka Haligowska didn’t read it.

The Crystal Lake resident was so excited to see her friends driving the vehicle that it wasn’t until her boyfriend, Chris Fugiel, knelt down next to her that she realized she was being proposed to.

“I was jumping, literally jumping, and so excited to see them,” Haligowska said. “And [Fugiel] said, ‘Read the sign, read the sign!’ ” The couple was watching the parade with friends and family, including their 6-month-old son, William Fugiel.

Haligowska, 36, and Fugiel, 24, started dating in April 2015 before moving to their Crystal Lake home.

After the proposal, horns honked

The outside of the vehicle was decorated with blue and white balloons, streamers and flowers, and inside were chocolates, champagne and roses.

Saturday’s parade was part of the

56th annual Algonquin Founders’ Days, which runs through Sunday.

Continued from page A6 over how to ask Haligowska to marry him, and eventually thought of the idea to rent an RV from his workplace, Camping World in Wauconda.

“It was wonderful to be a part of it,” Anita Fugiel said. “He seemed really calm and sure of himself and excited to do it.”

Down the street, Cindy and Tim Hopp watched the parade with their family, and caught of glimpse of the proposal, too.

The husband and wife grew up in Algonquin and have always come to the parade.

“I’m a teacher, so I see former students,” said Cindy Hopp, a second-grade teacher a Mackeben Elementary School in Algonquin. “We get to see the neighbors and some people we don’t know.”

Around the corner on Algonquin Road, Algonquin residents Chris and Heather Maieritsch sat with their 3-year-old son, Nathan, who had a bag full of candy.

This was the first time they had come out to the parade.

“We’ve had a great time, and at least the weather held out,” Heather Maieritsch said.

The parade lasted for about an hour and a half, with temperatures in the 70s and cloudy skies – but no rain, which had been in the forecast.

A snapshot of McHenry County history

Water sports often conjure up images of fishing contests, swim meets, synchronized swimming and, perhaps, water polo tournaments. Water skiing, another water sport, combines athletic ability and endurance with graceful movement. It also is a sport for just having fun – including hot-dogging twists, flips and jumps. Whether on two skis or one, a shoe ski or barefoot, it is a singular kind of adrenalin rush. About 150 teens, tweens and adults from McHenry County have been involved in entertaining the community for years with spectacular feats and performances as the Wonder Lake Water Ski Team. The group has grown tremendously since it was formed in the late 1950s by 14 teens. The team started competing in 1986 and is a three-time national champion starting in 1996, and it repeatedly wins top regional awards.

Water skiing is not an Olympic sport, but the skiers pictured here in a flag-opening for a show in 1979 are medal worthy. Join the McHenry County Historical Society for “Elementary Follies” at 7 p.m. Aug. 12 or 14 at the county history museum, 6422 Main St., in Union for an old-fashioned school pageant featuring many familiar community leaders in an unfamiliar setting. Staged in 1936, this original comedy written by Nancy Fike marks McHenry County’s centennial … in a very unusual way. Tickets are $10 and are available on our website at GotHistory.org, by calling the museum office at 815-923-2267 or at the door. All proceeds will benefit the restoration of the 1867 Pringle School.

Every year, approximately 12,500 Americans experience traumarelated spinal cord injuries, while an estimated 276,000 people are living with their long-term effects. As surgeons look for new ways to repair damaged spinal cords, researchers have found that scarring may actually help (not hinder) nerve-cell regeneration. Until recently, it had been accepted as conventional wisdom that the formation of scar-forming cells called “astrocytes” impeded recovery from spinalcord injuries. However, new research now suggests that astrocytes not only reduce inflammation and prevent surrounding tissue from becoming damaged, they also stimulate the growth of “axons” (the thread-like extension of nerve cells that carry messages to other nerve cells). Axons are severed in spinal cord injuries and need to grow back to prevent paralysis.

P.S. When a sudden, traumatic blow to the spine fractures or dislocates vertebrae, displaced bone fragments, disc material, and ligaments bruise or tear into spinal cord tissue, resulting in interruption of nerve impulses and loss of movement.

Whether your concern is arthritis, hand injury, fracture, sports injury, back, neck, foot, ankle, hip or knee pain, we have a specialist to focus on your specific needs. Each physician has access to the most stateof-the-art technology and training to address each and every aspect of patient care. To learn more, please call ORTHOILLINIOIS at 815-398-9491.

of The Dog Place, 220 N. Main St., said she hasn’t seen a change in business, and has been busy since she opened in 2012.

One thing she has noticed after the bypass is fewer trucks using North Main Street.

“The trucks used to rumble the whole house; you could see the light fixtures shaking,” she said.

Andrea Eichenold, owner of Peace Offerings, opened her business in December at 102 S. Main St. Although her business wasn’t open before the bypass was created, the Algonquin resident said she always has frequented the downtown.

Eichenold said that when there is wall-to-wall traffic, no one is paying attention to the surrounding businesses.

With the bypass, Eichenold said, she thinks she has more people to come to her store because they don’t have to deal with traffic to get there.

“It’s more local people” passing through, Eichenold said. “And the local people is what we really want.”

Eichenold has not changed her driving habits, however, and said she likes avoiding the bypass so she can see what’s going on on Main Street.

And avoiding the downtown completely is not what the aim of the traffic signs were, Algonquin Police Deputy

Chief Jeff Sutrick said.

Sutrick said the village encourages anyone who wants to visit Algonquin’s downtown businesses to use Main Street, and that with less traffic, the street is safer for pedestrians and bicycles.

For people just passing through, however, the bypass is better, he said.

“I would encourage people to at least try it out,” Sutrick said. “Just because there is construction coming downtown, and if there’s a quicker way so they’re not stuck with it, that’s always better for them and citizens if they’re just passing through.”

Sutrick said the construction will come when the downtown revitalization plan is put in place, and parts of Main Street will have to be closed for a time.

Trustees heard plans in March for potential downtown improvements that could cost $30 million if fully implemented, including $17.8 million of road improvements and $5.4 million in bridge repairs. Public Works Director Bob Mitchard said at the time that those plans would take five to eight years to complete because of the scope of the underground utility work.

The village recently entered a contract for engineering work on the first phase of downtown improvements, which includes underground utility work.

Village officials anticipate construction will begin in summer 2018.

Lawmakers are overpaid, says Illinois Policy Institute report

Are Illinois lawmakers paid too much? Vote Despite Illinois being in its second online at NWHerald.com. year without a full state budget, a recent report by the Illinois Policy Institute found that Illinois legislators are some of the highest paid in the nation.

“It’s time for legislators to set an example of how to cut back by starting with their own pay and perks,” Ted Dabrowski, vice president of policy at the think tank, said in a news release.

“They should set an example for other areas of state government of how reduce the cost of government to a level taxpayers can afford.”

According to the report, Illinois lawmakers are the fifth-highest paid in the nation, with legislators reportedly receiving an average of $100,000 each year in compensation. Illinois legislators also have the highest base salary in the Midwest at $67,836, according to the report.

State Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, said he agreed with Dabrowski that lawmakers in Illinois are being paid too much.

“It’s very clear we need to cut spending in the state,” McSweeney said. “We do not – I repeat, do not – need a tax

increase. [And instead] we need to cut spending.”

The report indicated that Illinois taxpayers spend $32 million each year on dental insurance, health care, per diem payments, mileage reimbursements, salaries and pensions for state lawmakers.

“Cutting legislative pay and eliminating legislative pensions is a start in the first step, of my view, to set an example and cut expending,” McSweeney said.

McSweeney said he is not taking a legislative pension.

“I have voluntarily opted out of the system. So I’m refusing it,” McSweeney said.

McSweeney also proposed to cut legislative pay by 10 percent and willingly decreased his own pay by that much.

“I’m going to keep pushing my bill to cut legislative pay,” McSweeney said.

Without a state budget, Illinois’ backlog of bills has piled up to more than $7.7 billion.

HUNTLEY – Beers, margaritas and signature drinks could be added soon to Huntley restaurant Tacos Locos’ menu.

The Village Board approved the liquor license for the Mexican fast-food restaurant at its meeting Thursday, Huntley management assistant Barb Read said.

Tacos Locos owner Rachel Pacheco said that by the end of August, the business will be moved from its current location at 10996 Route 47 to 12132 Route 47, formerly Jimano’s Pizzeria.

Pacheco has said the business also intends to get three video gaming terminals to make more money. The restaurant, which opened in 2010, also will have delivery service at its new location.

Along with keeping the restaurant’s traditional Mexican food, Pacheco said, she is looking at adding bigger

dishes to the menu.

Pacheco said she also might try a new ordering system where customers place their order, pick up the food, then sit down, as opposed to sitting down and being served.

The new space is about 1,500 square feet, Pacheco said, which is about 500 square feet larger than the current location.

Trustee JR Westberg abstained from voting, and all other trustees present at the meeting voted yes, Read said.

Westberg said he could not vote on issuing liquor licenses because he is an owner of a liquor-selling business, Parkside Pub. Trustee Niko Kanakaris was absent, Read said. There was no discussion from the public or trustees on the item, according to the village board’s meeting video.

The Class A liquor license would become effective once the business receives its state liquor license.

Governor signs bill pushed by McHenry County lawmakers to double railroad crossing fines On the Net

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com A new law pushed by two McHenry County lawmakers doubles the fines for drivers who disregard railroad crossing lights – provided, that is, that they manage to beat the train.

Senate Bill 2806, signed Thursday by Gov. Bruce Rauner, doubles the fine to $500 for the first offense and $1,000 for each subsequent offense. State law requires motorists to stop no closer than 15 feet to railroad tracks when the warning lights or lowered gate signal that a train is coming.

State Sen. Karen McConnaughay, R-St. Charles, filed the bill in the Senate, and state Rep. Mike Tryon, R-Crystal Lake, carried it through the House. Metra worked with both lawmakers to get the bill moved through the General Assembly.

“Illinois ranked second in the nation last year with regard to rail cross-

You can read the text of Senate Bill 2806 at www.ilga.gov. ing fatalities, and it is my hope that these new, steeper fines will make motorists think twice before making the foolish decision to cross railroad tracks when it is unsafe to do so,” McConnaughay said in a statement.

Twenty-four people died and 79 more were injured last year in Illinois because of motorists ignoring railroad crossing signals, according to Federal Railroad Administration data. Illinois has more than 10,000 rail crossings, and is second only to Texas in the number of track miles, thanks to Chicago’s status as the primary railroad hub in the United States.

The new law does not increase fines for pedestrians who ignore the warnings.

We all know that the unplugging of technology is not going to happen. Yet, there are ways to manage technology with greater effectiveness to enjoy more time with family and friends.

Some of these are suggested by Business Week’s “How to Leave Work at Work – Mostly.”

• Schedule lunchtimes for certain meetings. You have to eat, don’t you?

Why not combine a meeting with lunch, saving time in the process?

• Only look at work-related emails and texts at the office. Emails should not be open more than three times a day at the office. Prepare organizational staff and leaders for this change.

• During the week, if possible, close a door to do some “thinking time” at work. This should be uninterrupted and scheduled so staff knows not to

interrupt.

• Prepare for the next day at the end of each day. What has to be done and what can be put on hold?

Now, for those of us who typically bring work home, the article “How to Leave Work at Work – Mostly” has a few suggestions to keep this at a minimum: • At home, enforce a hard-stop time.

Hard means put the laptop away!

• Schedule free time two nights a week, such as watching a movie, going to dinner with loved ones or visiting with friends. Stay off the phone during these times. No texts or emails.

• If you have an urgent project that has to be completed, set a deadline and let your family know that your availability is limited. At the same time, tell them that you will be accessible when, where and how. Make sure you mean this and do not be on the phone or emails or texts during family time.

We all are struggling with increased hours at work, especially if we have our own businesses or are exempt employees. This can be managed – it just takes a bit more organization and discipline.

• Mixers include Tuesday at McHenry Savings Bank; Aug. 16, Men of Monday Night Football at Rusty Nail; and Aug. 23, Gypsy Glen.

Can you leave work at the office?

Or, better said, does your workday encroach on your home time? I have to admit, I struggle with being a workaholic. I work long hours, some by necessity – but more often than not, by choice.

I come by this honestly; my dad always brought work home, and my three children have inherited this compulsion, opening up laptops after their children are in bed.

We are not alone. If we are honest, most of us find that smartphones and email have enabled us to stay in constant contact with colleagues and clients. Yet what technology can do for business success can be a threat to leisure time.

Chew on this for a few minutes.

According to a McKinsey Global Institute Survey, the average worker spends 28 percent of his or her time managing an in-box. Meetings take up an additional four hours a week, according to the Center for Economics and Business Research. We must not forget the trendy open floor plans – great for team-building, but with the downside of making “deep thinking”

STATE

Flag-burning laws unconstitutional, but persist

By DAVID MERCER

Protesters burn an American flag Feb. 23 in Chicago. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that flag burning and other forms of damage are constitutionally protected free speech.

The Associated Press

URBANA – Champaign County State’s Attorney Julia Rietz had just finished walking in a July 4th parade when her assistant told her a central Illinois man had been arrested on suspicion of burning an American flag.

Rietz said she knew “immediately” that the Urbana Police Department needed to release Bryton Mellott, who posted a video of the act on Facebook and whom police initially said they arrested to protect from threats. The state law used to jail him, although clear in its prohibition of desecrating either the U.S. or state flags, is unconstitutional.

An Associated Press analysis shows at least 40 states still have flag-desecration laws, punishing those who burn or otherwise damage U.S. and – in most cases – state flags with fines or even jail time. A handful of Southern states extend that protection to Confederate flags. Yet, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in separate cases in 1989 and 1990 that flag burning and other forms of damage are constitutionally protected free speech.

Most people who burn flags in protest, such as those outside of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland this month, are not arrested.

But at least eight people have been arrested since 2007 for acts such as burn-

Urbana library opens after sniffer dogs finish bedbug search

URBANA – The Urbana Free Library has reopened after workers using specially trained sniffer dogs determined that a possible bedbug infestation there was not widespread.

The library said in a news release it was resuming normal operations Saturday after the bedbugs were found to be limited to a bin used for returning checked-out materials.

The bin and items inside will remain isolated until they can be treated.

ing a flag while walking in traffic and hanging a torn flag from a tree. And there appears to be little political motivation to change or do away with the flag desecration laws, an act for which some voters might punish them.

“Inevitably, someone who is not schooled in Supreme Court decisions reads the statute book and says, ‘Hey, let’s take this guy in,’ ” said Ken Paulson, dean of the College of Media and Entertainment at Middle Tennessee State University and president of the First Amendment Center. He argues that the laws need to be repealed, saying, “Otherwise, innocent people will be arrested.”

The News-Gazette reported that two sniffer dogs were brought in from a company in Chicago to search the 50,000-square-foot library.

They alerted staff to the presence of bedbugs only once, while sniffing around the return bin.

Aurora ‘drunkard list’ cited in limiting public intoxication

AURORA – Aurora’s “habitual drunkard list” has few names, but officials call it a success.

City officials approved the list about a year ago in changing the liquor code. They tried to control public drunkenness with the list and a prohibition on taverns and liquor stores opening at 6 a.m.

of action to get rid of their flag desecration laws; Alaska, Wyoming and Wisconsin have no such laws.

“I can tell you that some of the emails and messages that I’ve received, I’ll kindly say (they are) passionate,” Rietz said of the response to the Urbana man’s arrest. “I can see where a legislator might not want to vote against this kind of a statute or take action on it.”

Maryland State Delegate Eric Bromwell recently sponsored and pushed through legislation amending state law to allow flag-themed commercial products and events, something that his fellow lawmakers were nervous about because they thought it might affect its prohibition on flag desecration.

“People were very careful when they signed onto the bill when I was

the west side community-oriented police unit, told The Beacon-News that none of the four people on the list has been arrested since landing there.

But he said it will take a while to evaluate its effectiveness.

Habitual drunkards are those who have been arrested by police or transported by ambulance in incidents involving alcohol six times in six months.

They are prohibited from buying alcohol in Aurora.

WWII vet from Illinois buried after mass grave found

ALSIP – A U.S. Marine from Illinois who was killed in one of the bloodiest World War II battles in the Pacific has been buried near his hometown of Blue Island after his remains were discovered in a mass grave.

looking for co-sponsors. The question came up with every turn,” the self-described conservative Democrat said.

Flags regularly are burned around the country as parts of protests, such as in Cleveland. Although there were some arrests, no one was charged under Ohio’s flag desecration law.

But, as Paulson said, the laws sometimes do land people in jail. An 18-yearold Maryland woman was charged in 2009 with flag desecration after walking in traffic with a burning flag. The charge eventually was dropped. And in 2013, a Pennsylvania man was jailed for several days after police accused him of hanging a torn, cut American flag from a tree, although a prosecutor declined to pursue the charge.

This July 4th, there were two arrests for alleged flag desecration half a country apart.

An 18-year-old New Orleans woman was jailed overnight for a number of alleged offenses, among them taking a Confederate flag from a home; Louisiana’s flag desecration law includes Confederate flags. Court records indicate she has not yet been charged, a decision that won’t be made until her scheduled court appearance Aug. 18.

Meanwhile, Mellott was taken into custody after posting a video to Facebook of him burning an American flag.

He wrote that he was ashamed of his country because of its treatment of the poor, minorities and homosexuals.

Eighteen-year-old Marine Pfc. Charles E. Oetjen died in November 1943 on the first day of the Battle of Tarawa between U.S. and Japanese forces on the small central Pacific atoll.

His remains were missing until a nonprofit called History Flight discovered a burial site on Betio Island and turned over the remains of several dozen Marines in 2015 to the U.S. Defense Department.

DNA analysis confirmed his identity.

Oetjen was buried Saturday with military honors in Alsip.

E. Chicago wants to demolish housing on contaminated site

EAST CHICAGO, Ind. – The East Chicago Housing Authority wants to demolish a housing complex where soil is contaminated with lead.

The Times reported Saturday that the housing authority submitted a “demolition or disposition” application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and that a public hearing has been scheduled for the coming week.

The city advised more than 1,000 residents last week that they should temporarily relocate after the Environmental Protection Agency informed the city that the ground within the public housing complex had high levels of arsenic and lead.

The neighborhood used to be home to the USS Lead facility.

It’s now part of a 79-acre U.S. EPA Superfund site.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development said it can provide residents with “tenant protection vouchers.”

No apparent survivors in Texas crash of balloon carrying 16

By JIM VERTUNO

The Associated Press LOCKHART, Texas – A hot-air balloon carrying at least 16 people caught on fire and crashed in Central Texas on Saturday, and there did not appear to be any survivors, authorities said.

Authorities would not confirm the exact number of deaths, but Lynn Lunsford with the Federal Aviation Administration said the balloon was carrying at least 16 people and the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that it did not appear anyone survived.

If 16 people were killed, it would be the one of the worst such disasters, possibly the worst in U.S. history. The deadliest such disaster happened in February 2013, when a balloon flying over Luxor, Egypt, caught fire and plunged 1,000 feet to the ground, crashing into a sugar cane field and killing at least 19 foreign tourists Saturday’s crash happened at about 7:40 a.m. in a pasture near Lockhart, which is about 30 miles south of Austin. The land near the crash site is mostly farmland, with corn crops and grazing cattle. Cutting through that farmland is a row of massive high-capacity electrical transmission lines about 4 to 5 stories tall. The site of the crash appears to be right below the overhead lines, although authorities haven’t provided further details about what happened. Aerial photos showed an area of charred pasture near an electrical transmission tower.

Margaret Wylie, who lives about a quar-

ter-mile from the crash site, told The Associated Press that she was letting her dog out Saturday morning when she heard a “pop, pop, pop.”

“I looked around and it was like a fireball going up,” she said, noting that the fireball was under large power lines and almost high enough to reach the bottom of them.

Wylie, who called 911, said the weather seemed clear and that she frequently sees hotair balloons in the area.

Erik Grosof with the National Transportation Safety Board said at a news conference that the agency has deemed it a major accident and a full-bore investigation would begin Sunday when more federal officials arrive. “This will be a difficult site for us to work through,” Grosof said.

The balloon was operated by Heart of Texas Hot Air Balloon Rides, said two officials familiar with the investigation. The officials spoke on the condition that they not be named because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly.

Heart of Texas’ website said it offers rides in the San Antonio, Houston and Austin areas.

The operation does not appear to be registered with the state of Texas.

Authorities have not released the names of those who were on board.

Warning about potential high-fatality accidents, safety investigators recommended two years ago that the Federal Aviation Administration impose greater oversight on commercial hot- air balloon operators, government documents show. The FAA rejected those recommendations.

Trump attacks Muslim dad’s convention speech

By LISA LERER and JONATHAN LEMIRE

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump holds baby cousins Evelyn Kate Keane, 6 months, and Kellen Campbell, 3 months, after his speech Friday in Colorado Springs, Colo.

The Associated Press

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. – With 100 days left before the fall election, Hillary Clinton’s campaign bus wound its way through Donald Trump’s America as the Republican nominee picked a new fight with the bereaved father of a Muslim Army captain.

In a well-received Democratic convention speech, Muslim lawyer Khizr Khan said Trump has “sacrificed nothing and no one” for his country. Trump disputed that Saturday, saying he’d given up a lot for his businesses.

“I’ve made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard. I’ve created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, built great structures,” he said, in an interview with ABC’s “This Week.”

He added: “Sure, those are sacrifices.”

Khan gave a moving tribute to their son, Humayun, who posthumously received a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart after he was killed by a suicide bomber in Iraq in 2004.

Trump also reiterated his criticism of Khan’s wife, Ghazala, who stood silently on stage, wearing a headscarf.

“If you look at his wife, she was stand-

ing there. She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say. You tell me.”

Ghazala Khan has said she didn’t speak because she’s still overwhelmed by her grief and can’t even look at photos of her son without crying. Trump’s comments sparked immediate outrage on social media, both for attacking a mourning mother and because many considered them racist and anti-Muslim.

In a statement, Clinton said she was “very moved” by Ghazala Khan’s ap-

pearance.

“This is a time for all Americans to stand with the Khans and with all the families whose children have died in service to our country,” she said. “Captain Khan and his family represent the best of America, and we salute them.”

Trump’s comments about Khan come a day after, while campaigning in Colorado, he attacked retired fourstar general John Allen while holding a rally in front of military aircraft, and slammed a Colorado Springs fire marshal for capping attendance at his

event. The fire marshal, Brett Lacey, was honored recently by the city as “Civilian of the Year” for his role in helping the wounded at a 2015 mass shooting at a local Planned Parenthood.

“Our commander-in-chief shouldn’t insult and deride our generals, retired or otherwise,” Clinton told a crowd gathered on the factory floor. “That should really go without saying.”

She said Americans are living in a time of “really hot politics.”

“People say all kinds of things.

Hateful things. Insulting things,” she said. “And sometimes because of all the static going back and forth, we lose track of where we are.”

Post-convention, it has become clear the presidential race will be fought in the struggling manufacturing towns, cities and rural farming communities of the Rust Belt, as Clinton used the days after her convention to try and win back some of the white working-class voters who once made up a key piece of the Democratic Party’s electoral coalition. Trump’s anti-immigrant, anti-diversity, anti-trade message has appealed to those voters, who feel frustrated with an economic recovery that’s largely left them behind.

Koch conservative network Get your Summer not planning to back Trump Sizzle on!

By STEVE PEOPLES The Associated Press

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Billionaire industrialist and conservative benefactor Charles Koch’s expansive political network will not help Donald Trump win the presidency.

That’s the message from one of the Koch network’s chief lieutenants as hundreds of the nation’s most powerful Republican donors gathered for a weekend retreat three months before Election Day. The ambitious network has invested hundreds of millions of dollars to influence politics and public policy over the last decade. It won’t spend anything to help the Republican presidential nominee directly in 2016, even though it may evoke Hillary Clinton in attacks of Democratic congressional candidates, said Mark Holden, general counsel and senior vice president of Koch Industries.

None of the presidential candidates is aligned with the Koch network “from a values, and beliefs and policy perspective,” Holden said, citing other determining factors such as “running a good

campaign” and talking about key issues “in a positive, productive way.”

“Based on that, we’re focused on the Senate,” Holden said, noting that the Koch network has devoted around $42 million so far to TV and digital advertising to benefit Republican Senate candidates.

The comments came Saturday, the first day in the three-day exclusive gathering at the foot of the Rocky Mountains for donors who promise to give at least $100,000 each year to the various groups backed by the Koch brothers’ Freedom Partners – a network of education, policy and political entities that aim to promote a smaller, less intrusive government.

At least three governors, four senators and four members of the House of Representatives also were scheduled to attend, including House Speaker Paul Ryan. Republican presidential candidates have been featured at past Koch gatherings – but not this one.

Neither Trump nor any Trump representatives participated in the event, even though the White House contender campaigned in the same city the day before.

Embassy in London wounded about 20 people and a devastating attack on a Jewish cultural center in Buenos Aires, Argentina, killed 85 people.

The attacks in France and two of the four in Germany were claimed by the Islamic State group, thousands of miles away in strongholds in Syria and Iraq.

Their preferred targets are symbols of what they label the “crusader” West in Europe; but with so many to choose from, no one can predict where terror might strike anew. A police couple was killed in June in their home west of Paris, in an attack also claimed by IS. France has been muscling up its

security forces since two waves of ISclaimed attacks in 2015 that left 147 dead – and after two March attacks in Belgium that killed 32. President Francois Hollande has ordered 10,000 soldiers who have been patrolling since last year to stay in the streets, has called up reserves to bolster police and borders, and plans to use some to create a National Guard.

But the challenge of protecting churches, synagogues, tourist haunts, beaches, summer festival sites, airports and train stations is among the most daunting tasks security forces have faced in recent times in Europe.

PARIS – You can’t put a guard in every church and patrol every beach.

But after a wave of attacks in Western Europe, authorities are struggling to protect their people as best they can.

The French Riviera city of Cannes has banned large backpacks on beaches lest they hide explosives, and Britain is providing extra funding for security at tens of thousands of places of worship.

The grisly slaying last week of an elderly priest celebrating Mass in a Normandy church – less than two weeks after 84 revelers were mowed down by a truck on a beachfront promenade in Nice – sounded the alarm that nothing is sacred and no place is safe. Four attacks in a week in Germany sealed that conviction.

“Churches take great pride in being open. But there comes a time when the reality of crime and the reality of terrorism may mean that some of that balance needs to be readjusted,” said Mark Gardner, spokesman for Community Security Trust, which provides extensive protection to Jewish synagogues and schools throughout Britain.

The Trust started operating in 1994 after a car bomb attack on the Israeli

The city of Nice, citing the terror threat, canceled a memorial march set for Sunday to honor victims of the attack on the famed Promenade des Anglais.

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve visited security forces sent in Friday at the start of a famed two-week jazz festival in the village of Marciac in the Gers, an annual treat for hundreds of thousands of jazz lovers – but a high-risk event for police.

Cazeneuve reiterated what the French hear daily – “There are no miracle solutions” – but insisted on the need for the “physical presence” of police at summer festivals around France.

Some towns are pitching in as they can, or inventing new rules to ward off threats.

The Riviera city of Cannes, 20 miles from Nice, has banned big bags on beaches until at least the end of October, bags that Mayor David Lisnard said “could contain explosives or weapons.”

More controversially, the mayor of Rive-de-Gier, a small town near Lyon, decided this week to “systematically refuse” new applications by residents to bring their families to live with them, a process most often used by immigrants with loved ones in another country.

OUR VIEW

Break down barriers with police officers Tuesday is National Night Out, an annual event that encourages law enforcement officers to gather with community members to build neighborhood camaraderie and a better understanding of each other.

In light of the recent shootings involving police officers around the country, now is the perfect time to help build camaraderie.

Many McHenry County police departments plan their own night out events. We encourage you to attend the one in your community.

• Algonquin: 4-8 p.m. Tuesday at Harnish Main Library. Emergency response vehicles will be on display, and attendees can have cookies with a cop and dunk a cop. An hourly raffle also will be held.

• Cary: 6-8:30 p.m. Tuesday in downtown Cary.

The event includes several displays of police, fire and public works vehicles, food vendors, games for children and free popcorn and freeze pops.

• Crystal Lake: 5-8 p.m. Tuesday at Three Oaks Recreational Area. A wide range of family-friendly activities are planned, including face painting, balloon twisting artist, police and fire/rescue vehicles on display, a police K-9 demonstration, inflatable monster truck and kids games.

• Harvard: 6-8:30 p.m. Tuesday at the outdoor covered pavilion at Harvard Moose Family Center. Free hot dogs, chips and bottled water will be available, local first responders will display their equipment, and an interactive show will feature comedy, juggling and balloon sculpting.

• Huntley: 6-8 p.m. Tuesday at the Huntley Municipal Complex. The event includes tours of the department and jail, a bike rodeo, dunk tank, bounce house and vehicle displays.

• Lake in the Hills: 4-7 p.m. Saturday at the Lake in the Hills Safety Education Center. This is a Community Cookout event that includes a hot dog dinner, K-9 demonstrations, vehicle displays and more.

• Prairie Grove: 5-7 p.m. at Village Hall Park. Free hot dogs, chips and lemonade will be served.

• Wonder Lake: 5-7:30 p.m. at Harrison Benwell Conservation Area in Wonder Lake, hosted by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office and the McHenry County Conservation District. A number of family-friendly events are planned, and free pizza will be served.

Woodstock held its event during the Gavers Barndance cancer benefit.

If you are able to attend, thank the officers you meet for helping keep our communities safe.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Clinton a test of party’s tolerance Paul Simon’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water” was an obvious choice for a convention striving to be one – and much more apropos than his “America,” the adopted theme of the Bernie Sanders insurgency. Fans couldn’t help but notice, however, Simon had chosen a number that was sung by his estranged former partner Art Garfunkel, of whom he recently told NPR, “Quite honestly, we don’t get along.” Simon’s rendition was in that way analogous to the Democratic National Convention: a paean to building a bridge sung over the unmistakable crackle of a burning one.

Much depends on the Democrats’ ability to cobble together this particular piece of infrastructure. The enterprise hasn’t been helped along, though, by the not entirely shocking (and possibly Russian-engineered) revelation Democratic officials connived against the candidate who was not a Democrat for most of his career.

Many Sanders supporters are new to politics, and it shows in their frequently heard promises to vote for a minor-party candidate or sit the election out rather than choose between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Sixteen years ago, a similar impulse for perceived purity led many liberals to reject another centrist Democrat, Al Gore, in favor of activist Ralph Nader, which may have helped give George W. Bush his hanging-chad-thin victory.

The once-popular notion there was no substantial difference between Bush and Gore looked especially absurd in the wake of the Iraq invasion.

There is no need to wait for such a monumental event to reveal as preposterous the current claims the choice between Clinton and Trump doesn’t matter.

To begin with, Clinton would be one of the more politically seasoned presidents upon her inauguration, while Trump would

be the least. Moreover, in his convention speech Monday, Sanders himself reminded the faithful of the stark differences of tone and ideology between Clinton and Trump on immigration, the environment, health care and more.

The Democratic Party has fired its chairwoman, changed its platform and made other concessions to Sanders’ improbably successful but ultimately losing campaign. And after a long and bitter rivalry, Sanders, in contrast with Trump rival Ted Cruz, offered a remarkably full-throated endorsement of Clinton.

Amid enduring dissent, some of the convention’s most successful moments appealed to unity among people – including the kinds of people, like undocumented immigrants and the disabled, who have been targeted

by Trump’s divisive rhetoric. But the greatest test of the party’s tolerance is taking place within.

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.

County needs Franks on board

To the Editor: The attacks on state Rep. Jack Franks are laughable. They call Jack a liar because he changed his mind and decided to run for County Board chairman, and they call him crooked because he served more than three terms in the state House of Representatives.

I am glad Jack listened to his constituents and stayed longer than he initially planned in Springfield. Jack often is the only voice of reason in the capitol. Without him, Blagojevich never would have been impeached. Jack conducted the first audits ever of a sitting governor in Illinois history. Jack rooted out corruption in his own party. He is a true reformer we can rely on. Jack also single-handedly stopped Speaker Michael Madigan’s millionaire tax as well as a progressive tax increase. Without Jack’s leadership in Springfield, McHenry County would not even be on the political map.

I understand his decision to seek the County Board chairmanship. Our county has fought Jack on his reform efforts that would save taxpayers money. The board has hired lobbyists with our tax dollars to fight Jack’s efforts to lower our property taxes. They came out against Jack’s consolidation law that allows the county to streamline government.

VIEWS Jennifer Rubin not going to happen (e.g., a constitutional amendment to repeal Citizens United). But there are things they can agree on: Spending on infrastructure, promoting alternatives to four-year college, reform of legal immigration, corporate tax reform, redoubling efforts against the Islamic State and military assistance to Israel.

In other instances, Republicans in Congress can push her in ways she might be inclined to go if not for her left-wing base. The White House and Ryan Republicans could work together on new sanctions against Russia and Iran, charter schools (which she liked before having to genuflect before the teachers unions in the election) and – sorry Sandernistas – figuring out how to pass (e.g., trade assistance for displaced workers) the

Jack wants to implement the reforms he has passed to help McHenry County.

The only way that will happen is if he is the new chairman of the County Board.

McHenry County needs Jack Franks as its board leader if we are ever to have real reforms and tax relief.

Trans-Pacific Partnership (which has economic and national security benefits). Because Clinton has a genuine interest in fighting poverty, she could be persuaded to look at elements of Ryan’s anti-poverty agenda that drew bipartisan praise, especially expansion of the earned-income tax credit. They could get creative and, in the tax realm, for example, look at a payroll tax cut, which would disproportionately benefit working- and middle-class Americans.

It is not impossible to imagine a “grand bargain” with these two, along the lines of the deal that President Barack Obama had within his grasp before reneging on negotiations with former speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. Surely they can go back to the list of spending cuts Vice President Joe Biden and House Republicans put together in 2011. It is not inconceivable that, like Ronald Reagan and Tip O’Neill, Clinton and Ryan could agree on reforms to keep Social Security afloat.

This suggests divided government might work for both sides. We expect, as Election Day grows near, that Republicans in states tipping toward Clinton will suggest exactly that.

“Don’t give Hillary a blank check” certainly has some appeal.

Now, the GOP is not going to get rid of Obamacare or achieve supply-side tax cuts or undo many excessive regulations under a President Clinton, but then, that was baked in as soon as the party jumped off a cliff and picked Trump. If Clinton wins, Republicans should be wary of prioritizing conflict over cooperation.

The country cannot afford another failed president and four more years of gridlock; the GOP cannot afford four more years of extremist rhetoric, aversion to good governance and blind rage.

To the Editor: With the two parties having picked their leaders, Donald J. Duck and Hillary in Wonderland, it would be the perfect time for Disney to get rights for a fantasy movie.

Waiting for plans that make sense, not headlines

To the Editor: I initially was intrigued by the Republican Party Convention and its “theme nights,” only to be disappointed by verbiage that was long on bashing Hillary Clinton and woefully short on sticking to the theme of the day, much less any sense of a plan or program

based on the theme. Case in point: Tuesday’s theme was “Make America Work Again.” Any rhetoric about job creation or employment or the economy was basically non-existent. What little there was seemed more nonsense than sense – witness Sen. Capito of West Virginia railing about the need to reinvigorate the coal mining industry in her state. Coal industry employment is roughly onetenth of what it was a century ago, while production has increased over that same period, mostly due to highly efficient operations in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin. I’m still waiting for the promised “pivot” away from Donald Trump’s racially coded language to plans that make sense, not just headlines.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, implausibly – and contradictorily – insists that he agrees more than he disagrees with Donald Trump, and besides can stop the long list of nutty stuff Trump wants to do. In fact, the two differ on entitlement reform, trade, immigration, Russia, NATO and much more. The really nutty stuff Trump may do – disregarding treaties, wrecking alliances, cozying up to Vladimir Putin, ignoring court decisions, fueling bigotry, provoking a standoff with our military, ruining America’s international image – Ryan would be hard-pressed to stop.

Listening to Hillary Clinton’s speech, however, the reverse may be true. Ryan and Clinton might agree on some big things, while Republicans could block or reduce portions of her agenda they find unwise. As to the latter, Congress can decline to pass many items on her wish list (mandatory paid leave, expansion of Social Security, “free college tuition”). Other items simply are

Apple pushing apps for business reasons

By BRANDON BAILEY The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO – You can expect to hear a lot more from Apple about the virtues of mobile apps and online services in coming months. And for good reason: They’re just about the only part of Apple’s business that’s growing right now.

Apps and services have always been key to the appeal of Apple products. But with iPhone sales down for the second quarter in a row – and speculation that a major redesign won’t arrive until late next year – Apple is talking up its online business, promoting it with new kinds of ads and even sponsoring an upcoming reality TV show called “Planet of the Apps.”

The giant tech company sold 40.4 million iPhones in the last quarter – 15 percent fewer than a year ago, according to its earnings report Tuesday.

Analysts say consumers just aren’t as excited about the newest iPhone models. As a result, Apple’s overall revenue fell 15 percent to $42.4 billion for the three months ending June 30.

Apple also sold fewer iPad units, Mac computers and Apple Watches in the last quarter, although iPad revenue increased, thanks to the introduction of higher-priced iPad Pro models.

And a modestly better forecast for the current quarter sent Apple shares up nearly 7 percent in late trading, after closing at $96.63.

But the biggest bright spot in the company’s report was a 19 percent sales jump for the segment that includes iTunes, Apple Music, the App Store and services like Apple Pay and iCloud storage. That segment produced nearly $6 billion in sales — more than Apple pulled in from quarterly sales of either iPads or Macs.

FOR SERVICES RENDERED

Apple makes money from online services by taking a percentage whenever users pay to download a song from iTunes, buy an app from the App Store or subscribe to a streaming service like Apple Music. It keeps 30 cents of every dollar spent in the App Store , for example, and passes 70 cents to the app developer. Apple also collects fees from people who buy extra iCloud storage and from banks when customers use their credit cards with Apple Pay. Since growth is what Wall Street likes to see, Apple executives are increasingly touting the purchasing power of the company’s massive customer base — nearly 600 million own-

In this May 13 photo, a man uses his mobile phone near an Apple store in Beijing. ers of Apple devices who spend an average of $68 a year on apps, music and other services, according to estimates

by Credit Suisse.

“We expect this business will continue to grow” even if Apple sells fewer devices in a particular quarter, Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri told The Associated Press. “It’s becoming a very meaningful portion of what we do.”

Apple’s still optimistic about the iPhone, CEO Tim Cook assured analysts on a conference call. But he also boasted that Apple’s online services will produce as much revenue as a Fortune 100 company by next year.

REALITY OR BUST

That’s where shows like “Planet of the Apps” come in. Apple is partnering on the project with a team of veteran Hollywood producers and musician/entrepreneur will.i.am.

Though it’s expected to be something like a “Shark Tank” competition for app developers, Apple has kept a tight lid on details such as who will host or when it will air. But it will undoubtedly promote the App Store.

It also demonstrates Apple’s desire to create original programming as a way of drawing more people to purchase music and videos on iTunes and Apple TV.

Apple also announced Tuesday that it’s sponsoring another unscripted video series based on the popular “Carpool Karaoke” segments hosted by talk-show host James Corden.

Separately, Apple has been tweaking the App Store itself. In one change, Apple is reducing its commission on apps that are sold on a subscription basis.

That could lower its revenue in the short term, but experts say Apple benefits in the long run if more developers adopt a sales model that requires consumers to renew every year – since Apple gets a slice of every renewal fee.

In another change, Apple has begun selling App Store ads to developers, so iPhone owners who search for new apps will now see a paid listing along with other results. The ads should increase Apple’s revenue, according to Credit Suisse analyst Kulbinder Garcha. He estimated Apple’s annual take from apps and services could more than double in a few years, reaching $54 billion by 2020.

THE NOT-SO-SHINY SIDE

Some of Apple’s online ventures are facing challenges, however. Music sales in the iTunes store are being undercut by the growing popularity of streaming apps like Spotify. Ap-

ple’s own streaming music service is growing, Maestri said, but it still lags Spotify in paying subscribers. Apple’s iCloud storage service, meanwhile, has a host of online competitors.

“It remains to be seen how long it takes Apple to build a service layer meaningful enough to offset potential future declines in smartphone revenue,” said analyst Colin Gillis at BGC Financial in a recent note.

Most experts predict iPhone sales will pick up this fall, when Apple is expected to release new models. But some analysts are warning of tepid sales even then, citing industry rumors that Apple may wait until 2017, the tenth anniversary of the iPhone’s release, before making dramatic improvements to its signature smartphone.

Apple is also confronting a slump in demand for its newest gadget, a smartwatch introduced to great fanfare last year. While it doesn’t break out sales figures for the Apple Watch, the company said revenue in its “Other Products” segment, which includes the watch, fell 16 percent in the quarter.

Maestri confirmed Apple sold fewer watches, but he said a recent report by research firm IDC, which estimated Apple Watch shipments fell 55 percent, was “not in the ballpark.”

Assisted living community Heritage Woods of Huntley welcomed Huntley Area Chamber of Commerce members, Huntley Mayor Charles Sass, village officials and community members July 12 to a ground-breaking ceremony for its expansion project, White Oaks, 12450 Regency Parkway, Huntley. The expansion will include 30 memory care apartments supporting Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and dementia patients, as well as nine additional one-bedroom private apartments.

VIEWS Charlie Caufield but if a distribution is taken before age 59½ there is a severe penalty.

Whatever has accumulated up to the taxpayer’s death is then subject to estate tax if the estate overall is large enough, but when withdrawn it is still taxable income to the heir but hopefully at a lower rate than when it was deducted by the deceased.

Remember, with the large estate tax exclusion, a taxpayer can accumulate a significant IRA balance with good investment advice and planning. However, it still generates taxable income to whomever withdraws the money.

Can we improve on this? Possibly, provided a number of factors fall into line, some of which can be controlled and a few which cannot be controlled. Like all investment options, there are tax consequences,

and ultimately the decision revolves around the risks with which a taxpayer is comfortable.

The Roth IRA presents an investment vehicle that may satisfy some but not all the risks. Roth contribution limits are similar to those of regular IRAs, as are the income level restrictions, but participation in an employer’s plan is not a problem.

However, the contribution is not deductible. Why then discuss it?

When a withdrawal is made after the end of the fifth year from the beginning of the first tax year in which the Roth contribution was made, then that withdrawal is completely free of income tax. Whatever earnings have accrued in that five-year period and are part of the distribution escape income tax entirely.

Certainly, age is a factor to consider since the compounding factor is a crucial benefit. Investment options are critical. Income tax rates are a must consideration, both in the year of contribution when there is no tax deduction benefit and in the year of projected withdrawal.

Steps in process toward full emergency fund Dear Dave: My wife and I are on Baby Step 3 of your plan, and we’re about halfway to building our fully funded emergency fund.

We don’t like our current home very much, and we’d like to sell and move as soon as possible.

We have a little over $30,000 equity in the place, so would selling the house be a viable option for funding Baby Step 3? – Justin Dear Justin: I wouldn’t sell the house just to do Baby Step 3. That’s usually a pretty easy Baby Step after you’ve gotten everything paid off except the house.

As you know, a fully funded emergency fund means saving three to six months of expenses, so you shouldn’t have to sell your home in order to accomplish that.

However, if you don’t like the house anyway, and you’re already planning on selling it, then yes, set some of the equity aside.

I wouldn’t put all of the equity into the next deal.

I’d hold back my three to six months of expenses, so that when you move into another house you’re debt-free with a fully funded emergency fund sitting there.

It sounds like there’s nothing to prevent you from selling it today, if you’re sure that’s what you both want to do.

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey Just hold on to enough so that you still have an emergency fund in place, and use the remainder for your down payment.

So if that equation works for you, sell the house. If not, you may need to completely save up your emergency fund before you sell in order to make it work.

Regardless, when you move I want you to have an emergency fund and be debt-free in addition to your down payment. That’s what we’re after!

Dear Dave: I make $25,000 a year, and I’m single.

I expect my salary to increase to $35,000 next year, so can I get by with a $500 starter emergency fund instead of $1,000?

I have about $38,000 in debt right now, including student loans, and I don’t know how to keep up with bills and everything if I try saving a bigger emergency fund. – Jane Dear Jane: You really need a starter emergency fund of $1,000 if you’re at a point in life where student loans are in the picture. It might seem like an impossible task right now, but that should be your first big goal. A

written, monthly budget will go a long way toward helping you achieve that goal.

Making a budget for your money isn’t rocket science. It’s a simple, written planning process where you give a name and destination to every dollar you make before the month begins.

Food, shelter, clothing, transportation and utilities are necessities, so they come first. After you’ve taken care of those, make sure you’re current on your debts. Once all that is out of the way, put every spare dollar you can into your emergency fund.

If you do this with a sense of urgency, and limit spending to necessities, it won’t take very long. You’ll be surprised by how quickly it can happen, and you’ll love the newfound sense of security you’ll have in knowing $1,000 is sitting there ready to cover life’s little emergencies!

In addition to the possible non-taxable distributions, Roth IRAs are not subject to a required minimum distribution. Unlike regular IRAs, Roth contributions can be made at any age, even after 70½, which is another benefit as people live longer.

The tax free compounding offers such an enticing possibility that under proper investment projections, the decision to convert or “rollover” a regular IRA or other retirement plan into a Roth IRA is something to consider, even though that transaction is fully taxable now.

Certainly, the Roth IRA is not for everybody, but with the increased emphasis on reducing income taxes without the overriding worry of increasing wealth, the Roth IRA option is another possible investment alternative to discuss with your advisors.

Naturally, like all tax alternatives, there are many rules to observe.

Once again, tax planning emphasis appears to have shifted from focusing on minimizing the estate subject to tax and focusing on the reduction of current taxable income.

The main reason for this shift is that only a few estates may actually be taxed because, to incur the tax, the taxable estate must exceed $5,450,000.

There is an investment strategy that permits a buildup of value without income tax and then when that untaxed increment is withdrawn, it is not subject to income tax.

The strategy referred to is Roth Individual Retirement Account (Roth IRA). The traditional IRA may provide up to a $5,500 income tax deduction and the fund that is invested compounds free of income taxes until it is withdrawn.

There are a number of rules restricting when a taxpayer can make a deductible IRA, such as income levels and participation in employer plans. Then, like retirement plans generally, the taxpayer must start taking distributions at age 70½,

Divergent career paths lead couple in different directions Dear Abby: My partner, “Andrew,” and I have been together for four years. I’m a high school teacher, and he works for a major department store. Andrew always has wanted to be a flight attendant and now has the opportunity to interview for a position with a regional carrier. If he gets the job, he will have to relocate to the mid-Atlantic.

I want him to follow his dreams and be successful, and I want to support him, but right now I’m not in a position financially to leave my job and go with him. Although I’m a good teacher, there is additional education I need to pursue, and I have worked with my department chair on a five-year plan that includes some study abroad. I hope to teach at a community college in the future, but what if I’m not hired close to where Andrew works? How

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips do I deal with all this? – Messed Up Man In Massachusetts Dear Messed Up Man: You recognize

some challenges lie ahead for you and Andrew if you are both going to live your dreams and achieve your full potential. You say you have worked out a five-year plan that includes study abroad. In a year or two, it could have been Andrew writing me about the same insecurities you are feeling.

Separation doesn’t have to mean the end of your relationship if you are both determined not to let it. You owe it to yourselves to have a little faith, give it a try, and “what will be will be.”

Dear Abby: Another birthday is coming up for one of my grandchildren and there absolutely is nothing we can think of she doesn’t already have five of. We are simple people but love our grandchildren and would like to get them something original once in a while. Our kids buy them everything they want in every color and style. Our grandkids have clothes they wear once and toys that are still in the packages. Spending time would be a good idea except they want to be entertained at expensive attractions and are bored with just spending time together.

We want to be part of their lives, but we don’t have a clue as to how to do it. Can you help? – Out Of Ideas In

Florida Dear Out Of Ideas: I’ll try. Is there anything you can make for your

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

grandchildren that cannot be found in a store – perhaps something from your oven? Many grandchildren have fond memories of Grandma’s brownies, chocolate chip cookies, apple cake, etc.

If the answer is yes, then bring – or send – a package to your grandchildren.

I say this because my grandmother, Rose Phillips, used to have the most wonderful brownies (with powdered sugar on top) on her kitchen counter when our family would come to visit.

If she had sent me a box as a gift, I would have been delighted.

Something like this is a gift that only you can give. It’s something special, and it won’t break the bank.

National Junior Olympic champ Brian Keyes, who finished seventh in the Class 3A discus for McHenry at the IHSA state meet as a sophomore in the spring, won the discus title Friday in the 15- to 16-year-old division of the National Junior Olympic Track and Brian Keyes Field Championships in Sacramento, California. Keyes’ throw of 160 feet, 8 inches was more than a foot farther than that of the runner-up, Jeremiah Pierce of Carrollton, Georgia.

Northwest Herald high school football podcast Our first high school football podcast of the fall, with Crystal Lake Central coaches Jon McLaughlin and Steve Spoden, along with running back Vinny May, is live on nwherald.com/preps. It soon will also be available on iTunes, Google Play and Stitcher as well.

ohnsburg senior lineman Joe Moore spent last spring competing in sprints, discus and shot put with the track and field team in order to work on his speed and strength heading into his final season and college recruiting. Last week, during summer workouts for the football team, Moore squatted 500 pounds.

“I’ve never had an athlete hit that in my short coaching career, so that’s a first,” Johnsburg coach Dan DeBoeuf said.

Moore’s hard work has paid off, as he received his first college scholarship offer from Winona State, a Division II school in Winona, Minnesota. Moore received the offer while participating in a summer camp at Winona.

“I really had no idea that I would earn an offer at the camp,” Moore said.

“I thought it might be the, ‘Oh, you did well at camp, but make sure you send us your senior film.’ … But I had a pretty good camp and didn’t really lose any of my 1-on-1s, so I guess I did something right.”

Moore said getting his first offer was “the greatest feeling that you can experience,” and he said having a scholarship offer will take some pressure off him heading into the fall season.

“I owe it to the support that I’ve had from my coach and my team and everybody, and especially my mom, because she’s put so much time and effort into supporting me throughout all of my sports and academics and all of that,” Moore said. “To be able to earn some money for college and not have to worry about that is one of the greatest feelings you could ever feel.”

Johnsburg running back Alex Peete, also a senior, has played with Moore since the two were in first grade. While Peete has a calm leadership style, he said Moore is a vocal leader on the field and in the weight room.

“He’s very expressive,” Peete said.

“For all of our other teammates, he’s always screaming at them, telling them, ‘Let’s go.’ When we’re doing maxes, he’s the loudest one there, screaming for his teammates and cheering them on and all that good stuff. He puts up some pretty big numbers in the weight room,

Johnsburg’s Joe Moore leaps for a ball during practice July 16, 2015, at Johnsburg High School. Moore said he was surprised to receive a scholarship offer from Winona State after attending a recent camp at the school in Winona, Minnesota. and I think a lot of us look up to him, not only during lifting, but as a teammate, a leader. He leads by example.”

Moore will be the only two-way starter for Johnsburg this season, playing right guard on the offensive line and tackle on the defensive line. Although Moore started his high school career playing exclusively offensive line, Winona and other schools are looking at him as a defensive lineman.

Moore is 6-foot-2, 275 pounds but said he plans to play this season at closer to 240 pounds.

“I think he’s strong both ways,” DeBoeuf said. “The problem is, with guards and tackles at the college level, there’s a specific size and parameter that they’re looking for, and Joe really fits more into the defensive end mold as opposed to the guard or a tackle.”

Peete said it is “intimidating” to see Moore line up opposite him on the defensive line in practice.

“He’s a big kid, and moves very well for how big he is,” Peete said. “He has very long arms. I try to make a cut on him, and it’s easy for him to wrap me up. Of course, his initial contact is amazingly forceful, as well.”

Moore is talking to other schools, including Army, which he said is looking at him at guard. Moore said he liked what he saw at Winona, especially from defensive coordinator Zac Barton.

“It was awesome, I mean, right on the Mississippi, you’ve got the bluffs right on the river, very small,” Moore said. “I think they’re a great program, awesome coaches, they’re very personable, Coach Barton especially. He’s going to give it to you straight.”

NIU nominates charitable PR grad for Good Works Team ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino

• Sunday, July 31, 2016

Sean Folliard’s career-high 84 tackles and team-leading 8.5 tackles for loss last fall made him a workhorse for the Northern Illinois defense.

The senior linebacker’s work away from Huskie Stadium in DeKalb has earned him national recognition as a nominee for the American Football Coaches Association’s Good Works Team.

Folliard is among 165 nominees for the team of athletes who excel away from the field, which was announced July 13.

“You get a sense of involvement in the community,” said Folliard, a Prairie Ridge graduate. “You get to talk to a lot of different people and meet a lot of different people. My favorite things have been working with kids.”

Folliard said he has taken part in football camps for local kids and a reading program for area schoolchildren.

“We get about 200 kids come out (to camp) and we work with them, talk with them and teach them some football skills,” he said. “I also have a fun time going to a local middle school and reading books to the kids.”

Although he finds working with local kids rewarding, Folliard said his community service work with older adults is just as enjoyable.

“Heading over to the [retirement home] is an awesome thing,” he said.

“The stories they tell you are really cool. It’s a completely different life you get to hear about. It’s cool hearing different perspectives from people who have been all around the country, to crazy places and have funny stories.”

Folliard also has learned a unique card game – Kings in a Corner – from his new friends.

“It’s a pretty cool game,” he said.

“We play some cards. We play some dice. It’s a relaxed thing.”

This year’s 25th anniversary Good Works Team will include 25 players who will be selected in September.

Northern Illinois linebacker Sean Folliard, a Prairie Ridge graduate, celebrates his tackle of Western Michigan running back Jamauri Bogan in the fourth quarter Nov. 18, 2015, in DeKalb. Folliard is NIU’s nominee for the American Football Coaches Association’s Good Works Team.

The team will include 12 players from the Football Bowl Subdivision, and 12 combined from the Football Championship Subdivision, NCAA Division II and III and the NAIA. Folliard was NIU’s nominee for the team.

“There are a lot of deserving guys on our team,” he said. “There Sean Folliard are a lot of great guys on our team doing a lot of different things in the community.”

On Saturday, Aug. 6, Folliard and the Huskies will get back to work after an 8-6 season a year ago that ended with a 55-7 loss to Boise State in the Poinsettia Bowl.

NIU was selected Wednesday to finish third in the Mid-American Conference West Division preseason poll.

The Huskies, who open the season Sept. 3 at Wyoming, have played in six consecutive MAC title games.

“I feel like we put the bowl game away in spring ball,” Folliard said.

“It was motivation then, but now it’s time to restart, refresh and get going on this new season. We’re excited to work together.”

Folliard is one of six returning starters on defense.

“I’ve focused on gaining a depth of knowledge for our defense,” he said.

“And pass rush has been a big focus for me.”

Folliard’s tackles for loss were a calling card last season, which he credited to his teammates.

“Every single one of those definitely goes to the D-line,” he said. “They do a great job taking up blocks and letting the linebackers run through the holes. They just let me run free.”

MAC chooses Cary-Grove, Marian grads: Recently graduated volleyball

standouts Ashley Rosch (Illinois State) and Abby Gilleland (Ohio) were selected Wednesday as the MAC’s NCAA Woman of the Year nominees.

Rosch, a Cary-Grove grad, and Gilleland, from Marian Central, were among a record 517 nominees this summer, including 231 from Division I. Now, the pair is among 142 nominees remaining, including 54 from D-I schools. In September, the NCAA will choose the top 30 nominees, and a winner will be named Oct. 16 in Indianapolis.

Captain Benhart: Crystal Lake Central grad Sarah Benhart has been named one of two captains this season for D-II St. Cloud State women’s soccer team.

Benhart, a junior midfielder, is a two-year starter for the Huskies who had one goal and one assist last season for a team that finished 9-6-3.

4 MARINERS 4, CUBS 1

Chapman can’t close door on M’s

By JEFF ARNOLD

MARINERS 4, CUBS 1

For the Sun-Times

CHICAGO – Aroldis Chapman came to the Cubs with the reputation of being a lockdown closer.

So when manager Joe Maddon found himself in precisely the pressure situation Chapman was acquired from the Yankees to close out, the decision to insert Chapman for a four-out save Saturday against the Mariners appeared to be a no-brainer.

“I’m looking at (Leonys) Martin, (Robinson) Cano, (Nelson) Cruz, (Kyle) Seager,” Maddon said. “It’s hard not to put Chapman’s name after those guys.”

But with Chapman tasked with protecting a one-run lead with two outs in the eighth inning, the Mariners found a way to get to the triple-digit fireballer.

Leonys Martin drove a 100 mph Chapman fastball into the gap in left center for a two-run double before he scored on a Chapman wild pitch as the Mariners beat the Cubs, 4-1, at Wrigley Field.

Chapman blew his second save of the season and his first since joining the Cubs on Tuesday.

“Every hitter just comes and tries to do their job,” Chapman said through translator and Cubs reliever Pedro Strop. “And it was [my] time to lose this time.”

Chapman’s blown save came four days after first interaction with the Chicago media went awry. Despite being asked numerous times, Chapman wasn’t

Chapman entered the game in the eighth after Hector Rondon protected a 1-0 lead despite Cubs starter Jake Arrieta (12-5) giving up back-to-back walks to start the inning. Rondon induced a Norichika Aoki fielder’s choice that Kris Bryant fielded and threw out Mike Zunino at the plate.

But Martin came through with the sharp double that scored Shawn O’Malley, who had walked, and Aoki, who scored from first after reaching on a fielder’s choice. The Mariners added a run in the ninth off Travis Wood.

“The two walks in the eighth put us in a bind,” said Arrieta, who allowed only two hits, struck out four and walked three. “… Hector did a nice job. Then Martin had a great at-bat off Chapman.

Everyone knows it’s not an easy task to get a knock off a guy like Chapman.”

Matusz’s start will give rotation extra day’s rest

By JOSH TOLENTINO For the Sun-Times

CHICAGO – Left-hander Brian Matusz has been called up from the minors to start for the Cubs on Sunday evening against the Mariners, an effort to give the Cubs’ starters an additional day of rest.

Matusz was scratched from his start Friday for Triple-A Iowa. The move is a result of Cubs manager Joe Maddon’s season-long philosophy of giving players, including pitchers, precautionary rest.

“As we’ve talked about (all season), attempting to try to give our regular five a rest at a particular moment,” Maddon said. “It’s possible. It’s not impossible.”

To make room for Matusz, the Cubs optioned reliever Justin Grimm, who

has struggled with a 4.72 ERA in 34.1 innings.

The Cubs have used a sixth starter once this season, when Adam Warren appeared in a spot start loss against the Reds on July 4. Warren was traded back to the Yankees as part of the deal that acquired closer Aroldis Chapman last week.

Since the All-Star Brian Matusz break, the Cubs’ starting rotation leads the National League with a 2.52 ERA. The Cubs also lead the majors in total ERA with a league-best 3.01 mark.

Still, Maddon thinks the additional rest won’t hurt the team. Some of the Cubs veteran pitchers including ace

Jake Arrieta, bristled at the idea in early June but have since eased up on the thought of an extra day of rest.

“We use that (extra) day however we need to the best of our ability,” Arrieta said after allowing only two hits and two runs in seven innings, resulting in a loss against the Mariners on Saturday. “At this time of year, every one of us might need to refine something, so an extra day might not be a bad idea.”

The Cubs signed Matusz as a free agent in June. He has made two starts and has allowed two earned runs over 91/3 innings for Iowa. He has a 1.93 ERA with 11 strikeouts and three walks.

Matusz, 29, was drafted by Baltimore in 2008 with the fourth overall pick. He was a starter for the Orioles in 2010, when he went 10-12 with a 4.30 ERA in 32 starts, before becoming a part of the

Orioles’ bullpen.

Arrieta, a former Oriole, is familiar with Matusz’s game.

“I’ve seen him pitch extremely well,” Arrieta said. “He’s a smart guy who has got some really good pitches that he knows how to use effectively. Hopefully, he can come here ready and we can move forward.”

Maddon has addressed the idea of having a six-man rotation before and said he can see it happening more as the Cubs finish their last 60 games of the season.

“This is also about the schedule,” Maddon said. “Built-in off days are coming up. We still want to take advantage of this, knowing it is going to get really hectic, the later part of August and early September. If the opportunity is there, take advantage of it.”

had some good talks, learned some things. Talked about things we already knew. It was good, it was very productive.”

When asked about his relationship with Ventura, however, Sale would only say “everyone is making a little bit bigger deal of this.”

“Ten or 15 years ago, this wouldn’t have been a story. There’s no such thing as Twitter and I don’t think as much information leaked out as it does nowadays. It’s just something that people gravitate to. It’s the nature of the beast – I understand that.”

Sale said the jerseys he cut up, which are believed to be in his possession, might be used in some sort of charity act. The idea was his wife’s, he said.

“When I get back to Chicago, I’m going to try to talk to some people and figure out the right thing to do with it,” he said.

“She’s the smart one in the house apparently,” Sale said. “So any time something bad happens like what happened, you always try to find something positive. If we can make a positive out of negative, it’s perfect. Works out well.”

SOX NOTES

Stone, Harrelson upbeat after ironing out differences

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

MINNEAPOLIS – Steve Stone said the past week’s worth of White Sox broadcasts with play-by-play partner Ken Harrelson “might have been the best five games we’ve worked in all the years we’ve been together.”

The reason?

A sit-down “clearing of the air” talk last week between the veteran talents who’ve made their marks as individuals and with other TV booth partners but not so much as a team. Fans liked the Harrelson-Don Drysdale and Harrelson-Tom Paciorek pairings during the 1980s and 1990s and the Harry CarayStone tandem in the Cubs booth during the same period, but Harrelson and Stone never have really hit it off, some observers say, because of the absence of back-and-forth, give-and-take baseball discussions on air.

That seems to be changing, however.

“We decided we really wanted to both pull on the same page to make it, for our fans, the best broadcast we could possibly have,” Stone said Saturday. “And

that would be more interaction from both of us toward the other. It started with that first Cubs game [Monday].

“I’ve been so happy. It’s only been five days, but it’s five days of a lot better feelings in the booth.”

Harrelson, 74, who for the first time is working a split schedule doing road games only with a few exceptions while Jason Benetti has teamed with Stone on home broadcasts, said the new schedule recharged his battery and that he wants to continue the same workload next season. Going in, he told chairman Jerry Reinsdorf this would be his last year if he didn’t like the new setup.

“I love it,” Harrelson said. “I’m rejuvenated.”

Harrelson said the meeting with Stone, 69, was needed. They are in their ninth year together.

“It’s like anything else, you have situations that arise and everything is not copacetic, so to speak,” Harrelson said.

“The best thing is to talk it out.

“When things don’t come easy, and there is a little friction, if you don’t solve it, it will fester. I’ve always been a guy, if there is a problem, I’m going to solve it

MINNEAPOLIS – Chris Sale started making the rounds with teammates and White Sox officials, starting Thursday night after the Cubs beat him in his return to the White Sox at Wrigley Field.

“Got it all squared away,” Sale said Saturday. “Got on the same page. We are back to where we were before, trying to win games. Putting that in the forefront.”

On that front, the Sox got back to winning with a wacky 6-5 victory over the Minnesota Twins in 10 innings, snapping a three-game losing streak and raising their record to 51-53 with one game left before the trade deadline.

Miguel Gonzalez, who had a much better July (2.27 ERA in five starts) than Sale (1-2, 4.85), the Sox’s ace, gave up two runs (one earned) in seven innings.

Former Sox Eduardo Escobar’s three-run homer against Matt Albers in the eighth ruined Gonzalez’s bid for a win, but the Sox tied it in the ninth against Brandon Kintzler on Tim Anderson’s double and Melky Cabrera’s third RBI and won it in the 10th when

Sale, doing what he can to put the “fiasco” – in his owns words – he created by cutting up throwback jerseys he was supposed to pitch in but didn’t want to wear July 23, also met with manager Robin Ventura, who sent Sale home from U.S. Cellular Field that day after things went off the rails in the clubhouse.

Sale was suspended for five games, and, adding to the level of tension between the Sox ace and his manager, said Ventura should demonstrate more support for his players.

“I had a long talk with him,” Ventura said. “We continue to move on, and it’s about baseball. That’s the professional part of it.

“I’m not going to get into what we talked about, but we had a long talk, and it was good.”

Sale seemed relaxed even though his name is out there in trade rumors involving the Texas Rangers and Boston Red Sox, albeit none of them seeming to have much significant traction.

He declined to share specifics about his conversation with Ventura, saying only he talked to “everybody involved personally 1-on-1,” meaning management types as well. “Cleared the air,

Fox will spread running back wealth BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush BOURBONNAIS – The Bears have failed to have a 1,000-yard rusher only six times in the 21st century, and in four of those six seasons the fewest yards their rushing leader put up was 888 yards or more.

In 2002, Anthony Thomas followed his rookie of the year campaign rushing for only 721 yards to lead the team, but he missed eight games because of injury.

In 2007, Cedric Benson led the team with 674 yards rushing, but he missed five games because of injury and played hobbled in several others.

The point is that in every one of the past 16 seasons, James Allen, Anthony Thomas, Thomas Jones, Cedric Benson or Matt Forte has been the Bears’ featured back, supported by two or three backups.

Competition at the position hasn’t been a major concern.

But that is not the way coach John Fox likes to do business, and that is almost certainly one of the main reasons he and general manager Ryan Pace elected to let Forte leave via free agency at the end of last season.

Forte most likely still has a fair amount left in the tank, and that would have made it difficult for Fox to get Jeremy Langford, Jacquizz Rodgers, Ka’Deem Carey and this year’s fifthround pick, Jordan Howard, on the field.

how you get better every day.”

The theory behind Fox’s approach is that although you might rank your backs No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, etc., they’re all pros, should all be capable of doing the job, and having the freshest legs on the field at that position on every down creates an advantage over the defense that should outweigh slight variances in ability from one back to the other.

To make this approach work, it is key to have complete buy-in from all of your backs.

Although Langford is absolutely striving to be No. 1, he said, “Oh yeah.

Being in the NFL, there are a lot of running backs out there.

“The competition in our room is real good right now. Nothing is given, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

You’ve got to go earn everything you AP photo get.”

Langford does enjoy one luxury Bears running back Jeremy Langford works during practice at the team’s training camp none of the Bears’ other backs do: He is Friday at Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais. a lock to make the team.

BEARS NOTES

Hicks impresses in familiar defensive system

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com BOURBONNAIS – Bears coaches, linebackers, defensive linemen and offensive linemen have thrown a lot of praise in the direction of new defensive end Akiem Hicks. So much so that he thought reporters were buttering him up.

“Are these guys really giving me all these compliments, or are you guys making this up?” Hicks said with a laugh after Saturday’s practice.

When the pads came on for the first time this summer, observers continued to see why teammates and coaches are so high on Hicks, who had been active without pads and got to finally use his rare strength to hit people. He burst through the line for a “sack” of Jay Cut-

ler – although he didn’t hit the QB, just a friendly pat on the back, followed by hooting and hollering. Hicks also had “sacked” Cutler during Friday’s session.

“Somebody told me [Cutler] said, ‘Do that in pads.’ He said that yesterday when I got him and then today I got him in pads, and he didn’t say much,” Akiem Hicks Hicks said.

The former Patriot and Saint feels comfortable in Vic Fangio’s defense, comparing it to the defense he played in during his most productive season.

“This kind of reminds me of 2013 when I was in New Orleans and being able to adjust and go inside sometimes, go back outside so they can’t really get a

bead on you,” Hicks said. “Vic’s defense in general, it makes guys look good.”

Hicks started all 16 games in 2013 and had 56 tackles and 4.5 sacks. He’s been one of the more consistent performers through three practices, while also being one of the more energetic players.

“That’s just natural,” he said. “I just get excited really fast. I get excited pretty easy.”

Long update: Kyle Long watched practice Saturday without a boot on his left leg. He signed autographs, too, and general manager Ryan Pace said that news is “positive” when it comes to the three-time Pro Bowler’s calf injury.

“You know how he is; you’ve got to hold him back a little bit, but it’s positive on Kyle,” Pace said.

Injury report: Khari Lee (shoulder)

and Roy Robertson-Harris (illness) were present but not participating in practice. Leonard Floyd (illness) and Nick Becton (illness) returned in a limited fashion. Nick Kwiatkoski left practice with an injured hamstring.

Quick hits: Tracy Porter intercepted a Cutler pass in team drills. ... Lamarr Houston and Willie Young were impressive in the pass rush drills, while rookie Jonathan Bullard displayed the quick get-off that got him drafted . ...

Danny Trevathan showed off his speed making a run stop on Jeremy Langford. ... The highlight of the day came on a deep pass from Connor Shaw to Kieren Duncan that appeared to be a diving touchdown, but a referee ruled it incomplete to the dismay of the fans on by far the highest-attended day of camp to date.

LB made move to new position in 3-4 defense

Kyle Busch hopes he’s on track for first Pocono win

By DAN GELSTON

The Associated Press LONG POND, Pa. – Kyle Busch’s next attempt at a weekend sweep should come at his race shop.

It’s time for a cleanup – Kyle Busch Motorports is bursting at the NASCAR victory trophy seams.

Busch’s shop in Mooresville, North Carolina, is undergoing a face-lift, and until the renovation is complete, his trophies have nowhere to go. The trophies in honor of Cheez-Its, concrete monsters, even a 200-pound bronzed bear, are littered throughout the building. Workers can’t step foot in the merchandise store, offices, or the upstairs hallway without tripping over trophies.

Maybe somewhere in the mess are the shredded remains of the Gibson Les Paul custom guitar he famously smashed in Nashville.

Busch has an entire case dedicated to trophies from Bristol Motor Speedway alone and every winner’s flag from

Kyle Busch talks to a crew member in the garage area Friday at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pa., during practice for Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Pennsylvania 400. his 38 career Sprint Cup victories are framed on KBM’s upstairs hallway.

He’s won at every Cup track from Darlington to Daytona, from Bristol to the Brickyard.

Every track but Charlotte Motor Speedway and Pocono Raceway.

Busch can knock Pocono off the list Sunday, although he has only four ca-

reer top-five finishes in 23 starts at the 21/2-mile tri-oval track. Busch starts 16th in the No. 18 Toyota, in the same row as big brother Kurt. Kurt Busch won the June Pocono race.

Kyle Busch’s best shot at winning at Pocono came in last August’s race, losing the lead on the last lap once the 18 ran out of fuel. His average Pocono finish is 19th.

“You’ve got to have everything fall into place and the stars align and it just hasn’t quite happened here yet,” Busch said.

He’s certainly mastered Indy.

Busch, tied with Brad Keselowski with four wins this season, is coming off a historic weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He won his second straight Brickyard 400 in dominant form, leading a record 149 of 170 laps.

Coupled with an Xfinity Series victory a day earlier, Busch became the first NASCAR driver to win both poles and both races on the same weekend.

“It certainly is the best way to come

to Pocono being able to race the way we did last week,” Busch said.

Only 31, the 2015 Sprint Cup champion’s best days still seem ahead.

Consider: • Busch already has 166 career wins among NASCAR’s top three divisions: Sprint Cup (38), Xfinity (83) and Truck (45).

• With wins this season at Martinsville Speedway and Kansas Speedway, Busch has won races at 21 of the 23 active Cup tracks. He has multiple victories at 11 of 21 tracks.

• His Indy win gave him 34 career wins at Joe Gibbs Racing, topping Tony Stewart for most on the career list.

• Busch boasts 19 poles, 141 top-fives, 207 top-10s and 11,959 laps led in 410 career Sprint Cup races.

His legacy is far from defined.

“Hopefully it’s one that would be hard to beat and it’s one that will be remembered,” Busch said. “We’ll just keep fighting for more wins. We’re not done yet.”

The Bears have agreed to a twoyear contract extension with outside linebacker Willie Young, the team announced Saturday at training camp.

“I’m slightly speechless right now, but super excited about the opportunity to extend my career with the Bears,” Young said after practice. “I want to give a big thanks to the organization for absolutely believing in me with no doubt.”

Young was entering the final season of the three-year deal he signed in 2014.

In his two seasons in Chicago, Young has 16.5 sacks, and he is now signed through 2018. This is the first contract extension by Ryan Pace since taking over as general manager in January 2015.

“We did this because of everything he brings to the table,” Pace said. “He’s

I refuse to let them down. Never one time did I have a negative thought about a blown Achilles, career ending or whatnot. My biggest concern was my opportunity to show the coaches I could play this game at a high level.

“Obviously, they didn’t know much about me before they got here, but I feel like once I had an opportunity – it’s been since Day 1, I’ve always sat back waiting patiently for that opportunity. Weathering the storm. Working on my technique. Even when you don’t think I’m working on it, I’m working on it. I was never really distracted by it. I just got a brand-new Achilles out of the deal.”

Down the stretch last season, Young came into his own. He had at least one sack in each game from Weeks 11 through 15, finishing the season with 6.5 sacks, good for second on the team, and good enough to catch the eye of Pace.

“You could feel him getting comfortable, and he’s getting so many reps now, the dropping in coverage and those things are becoming easier for him, so I still think he’s going to get better in this scheme the more reps he gets,” Pace said. “But he’s a well-rounded player. He works hard, he’s always in shape and, again, he’s a good teammate.”

10 PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

Storms wreak havoc at Baltusrol

Monday finish seems likely for year’s final major

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD, N.J. – Thunderstorms shut down the PGA Championship on Saturday before 10 players could even hit a shot, setting up what could be a long, wet and wild conclusion to the final major of the year – whenever it ends.

Jimmy Walker and Robert Streb made it as far as the practice range before clouds gathered, the sky rumbled and storms dumped more rain on an already saturated golf course at Baltusrol. Tied for the lead at 9-under par, they faced a 36-hole Sunday, provided the course could be ready by 7 a.m.

Otherwise, another Monday finish loomed, and that was only part of the unpredictable nature of this PGA Championship.

Kevin Kisner had seven birdies in his round of 5-under 65 and was at 5-under 205. He was one shot ahead of Padraig Harrington, who also had a 65. They were among only 37 players of the 86 who made the cut to complete the third round.

The plan was for the third-round pairings to go right back out Sunday morning, meaning they would finish before the last group even began the fourth round.

“That will be an interesting dynamic,

Two women walk by the 18th hole Saturday after the third round of the PGA Champion- Note: 49 golfers did not complete the third ship was suspended for the day at Baltusrol in Springfield, N.J. round. for sure,” said Kerry Haigh, the PGA of America’s managing director of championships. “Add to the excitement, actually.”

It was the second time the PGA rolled the dice at Baltusrol and failed.

In the 2005 PGA Championship, they chose not to move up the tee times on Sunday with a high possibility of storms in the forecast, and Phil Mickelson had to return to play five holes to secure a one-shot victory.

With storms in the forecast for Saturday afternoon, Haigh said the PGA did not “significantly” consider a two-tee start Saturday morning in threesomes.

“The forecast is similar to what it has been the previous two days, with a

chance of rain in the afternoon, summer showers. And that’s exactly what we got,” Haigh said. “Unfortunately, today they hit us. And yesterday, they missed us.”

It was the third time in five years that weather messed with the PGA Championship. The final round was played in threesomes off both tees at Kiawah Island in 2012, and Valhalla was a quagmire in 2014, although the last two rounds were played in twosomes and barely finished. Rory McIlroy won both of them.

Haigh could not think of the last time the players were not paired according to their 54-hole score for the final round.

Russell Knox lagged a 65-foot birdie

attempt on the 18th hole, tapped in for a par and a 67 to reach 3-under 207, and then heard the horn as Marc Leishman was getting ready for his 12-foot birdie attempt. Leishman has to return at 7 a.m. for that putt, and then wait two hours to start his final round.

Knox couldn’t resist a playful dig on Twitter in which he told Leishman that he had “grub, showered and feet up now.”

They could use plenty of rest, and a break in the weather.

Baltusrol already had about 3 inches of rain this week, and Haigh didn’t have a report on Saturday’s damage because it was still raining.

GOLF ROUNDUP

Jutanugarn fires 66, takes Women’s British Open lead The ASSOCIATED PRESS WOBURN, England – Thailand’s Ariya Jutanugarn took the Women’s British Open lead at tree-lined Woburn, almost four months after blowing a late lead in the first major championship of the year.

In early April in the ANA Inspiration in the California desert, Jutanugarn – at the time, best known for blowing a two-stroke lead with a closing triple bogey in the 2013 LPGA Thailand – bogeyed the final three holes to hand the title to Lydia Ko. She put the hard lessons to use in May, winning three straight events

to become the LPGA Tour’s first Thai champion. And Saturday, she shot a bogey-free 6-under 66 to pull two strokes ahead of Mirim Lee. Jutanugarn birdied six of the first 14 holes and finished at 16-under 200 to break the tournament 54-hole scoring record. She chipped in from 90 feet for birdie on No. 8 and made a 30-footer on 10.

Lee shot a 69. The South Korean player led after each of the first two rounds, opening 62-71.

Mo Martin was third at 11 under after a 69. The American won the 2014 tournament at Royal Birkdale. Scotland’s Catriona Matthew, at 46 trying

to become the oldest major champion, was 10 under after a 71.

WEB.COM TOUR Ellie Mae Classic: At Hayward, Cal-

ifornia, Stephan Jaeger broke yet another Web.com Tour record and shot a 6-under 64 at TPC Stonebrae to increase his lead to seven strokes.

Two days after opening with a 12-under 58 to break the Web.com mark and match the lowest score on a substantial tour, the 27-year-old German player reached 23-under 187 to break the tour’s 54-hole record for strokes and fall one short of the mark for relation to par.

Jaeger broke the mark of 189 set

by Martin Piller last year in his Boise Open victory. Jaeger was one off the par mark of 24 under set by Arjun Atwal in the 2008 Chattanooga Classic and matched by Tommy Gainey in the 2010 Chiquita Classic and Piller in Boise. On Friday, Jaeger broke the 36-hole mark at 123 and, at 17 under, was two strokes off the record for relation to par.

On Saturday, Jaeger played the three par-5 holes in 4 under with an eagle on the 15th and two birdies.

Xander Schauffele and Matt Atkins were tied for second at 16 under. They each shot 64.

Jones earns first Xfinity win since father died of cancer last month

NEWTON, Iowa – Rookie Erik Jones has made winning look easy in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.

Jones’ success is even more remarkable given that he’s had to race without his father, who died of cancer a month ago.

Jones retook the lead from Ty Dillon with 16 laps to go and won Saturday night at Iowa Speedway for his third victory of the season and first since his father, Dave, died in June. He was 53.

12 BAYLOR FOOTBALL

NEW YORK KNICKS

Conduct code may have Judge refuses to dismiss silenced victims of rape sex lawsuit against Rose

By JIM VERTUNO

The Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas – The sexual assault scandal that took down Baylor University’s president and revered football coach also found a problem with a bedrock of the school’s faith-based education: a student conduct code banning alcohol, drugs and premarital sex that may have driven some victims into silence.

Investigators with the Pepper Hamilton law firm who dug into Baylor’s response to sexual assault claims determined the school’s rigid approach to drugs, alcohol and sex and “perceived judgmental responses” to victims who reported being raped “created barriers” to reporting assaults. Some women faced the prospect of their family being notified.

“A number of victims were told that if they made a report of rape, their parents would be informed of the details of where they were and what they were doing,” said Chad Dunn, a Houston attorney who represents six women who have sued Baylor under the anonymous identification of Jane Doe. The nation’s largest Baptist university is a notably conservative place in one of the most conservative states in the country. Dancing on campus was banned until 1996. Fornication, adultery and homosexual acts were included in an official list of misconduct until May 2015, and the current policy stresses that “physical sexual intimacy is to be expressed in the context of marital fidelity.”

Students still can be expelled for using drugs or alcohol, although late last year it included amnesty for minor offenses. Pepper Hamilton investigators urged the school to expand amnesty to sexual conduct code violations; the fed-

eral government told all U.S. universities in 2011 that conduct policies may have a chilling effect on reporting sexual assault.

“Amnesty is a no-brainer,” said Shan Wu, a former federal sex crimes prosecutor who is now a criminal defense attorney specializing in student legal issues. “Unfortunately, these codes force students to engage in life-or-death calculations,” added Wu, who isn’t involved in the Baylor case.

Baylor officials say they are already making changes. Interim President David Garland, who took over in late May for ousted president and chancellor Ken Starr, said the university considered all of the firm’s recommendations as “mandates.”

“Expectations for our students are outlined in university conduct policies and are a reflection of our faith-based mission,” school spokeswoman Tonya Lewis said, noting that the amnesty provisions for drug and alcohol use should assure sexual assault victims that Baylor will focus on their allegations. Baylor repeatedly has declined to comment on specific cases.

“Student safety and support for survivors of all types of interpersonal violence are paramount to the mission of Baylor University,” Lewis said.

But such offers of amnesty are too late for women who previously reported assaults and told Pepper Hamilton investigators about hurdles they faced in dealing with Baylor officials. Eight former Baylor students have brought three federal lawsuits against the school, outlining rape allegations as far back as 2005 that they say were either ignored or discouraged from reporting.

Dunn would not allow his clients to be interviewed by the AP to protect their identity, but relayed questions to them.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES – A federal judge has refused to dismiss a lawsuit alleging New York Knicks player Derrick Rose, formerly of the Bulls, and two friends drugged and gangraped a woman.

On Wednesday, federal Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald said a jury must decide whether to believe Rose’s con- Derrick Rose tention that the woman, a former lover, consented to group sex at her home in 2013.

The case could go to trial in October, when Knicks training camp gets underway.

Messages left for Rose’s agent, B.J. Armstrong, were not immediately returned Saturday.

According to court records, the woman had been drinking at Rose’s Beverly Hills, California, home, and a friend helped her return home, where she vomited and fell asleep.

MORAINE HILLS

The woman’s $21.5 million sexual battery lawsuit contends Rose and the other two defendants entered her apartment the next morning and raped her.

The woman believes that an unknown drug was slipped into her drink at Rose’s home, and she “did not do any pregnancy tests or a rape kit because she was terribly ashamed and embarrassed,” according to her lawsuit.

Rose has denied the allegations, and his lawyer has labeled the lawsuit an extortion attempt.

Defense court filings contend the woman consented to the sex acts, invited the men to her apartment and buzzed them in through security.

In denying Rose’s request to toss out the lawsuit, the judge said Rose’s version of events “could well convince a reasonable jury,” but there was substantial disagreement over the facts and a jury also could conclude the opposite.

Rose, 27, was the NBA’s 2011 MVP with the Bulls, but he has struggled with knee injuries and was traded to the Knicks in June.

Haunting visit from technology’s ghosts “Hey, Dad!” Jenny called to me a couple of weeks ago. “Look what’s standing in your backyard!”

She stood just inside the back door with her cell phone in hand, as if taking a picture of whatever it was she wanted me to see. (Or maybe not, because her cell phone is always in her hand. I think she had it surgically attached about a decade ago.)

But her tone of voice indicated it was something I didn’t want to miss seeing.

A deer? A coyote? Elvis?

I dashed to the back door and sidled in next to her, cautious not to scare it off. I didn’t want to get there only to find my haste had frightened it away, leaving only a jelly doughnut behind.

I looked out the back door at – grass … trees … my wife’s garden … the fountain.

“Where?” I asked.

“Right there,” Jenny said, pointing at a spot on the patio only a single step outside the door.

A brick? An ant? A jelly stain?

“What am I looking for?” I asked. “I don’t see anything there.”

“No, not there,” she said. “Here.”

And she pointed at the screen on her cell phone.

Which, as I guessed, was set to the camera function and was displaying everything I could see through the door – grass, trees, garden, fountain – and something else!

Because right there on the screen, a single step outside the door, was a little brownish critter about the size of a squirrel, staring at us. It was a sort of bubble-headed segmented worm with a big purple nose, beady black eyes, a horn on its head and another on its tail, like an adorable earwig of immense size. It hopped up and down, as if inviting us to come out and play.

“What the hell is that thing!?!!?” I cried, caught between the equally powerful urges to hug it and hammer it.

“It’s a weedle,” she said. “I’ll catch it.” She flicked a little ball at the bottom of her screen that flew up, landed on the little critter and then sort of zazzled before calming down to become the ball

again, but this time jiggling around as if something were captured inside.

It was all part of the Pokemon Go app, of course, which had been lighting up the news ever since it had been launched only a couple of days before, but this was my first brush with it.

Unless you’ve been on that spacecraft zooming toward Jupiter, I’m sure you’ve heard about the game by now, so I won’t bother to explain it further.

Except to tell you it freaked me out when I saw it! And not in a good way.

“Are there any more out there?” I asked.

She scanned the camera across the yard. The screen showed everything that I could see through the door, and nothing more. “Nope,” she said. “Oh, wait. A couple more just showed up!”

I looked out the door, where of course I saw nothing but grass, trees, garden and fountain. But when I looked at the phone’s screen, there they were: a fluffy little fox called an Eevee and a scowling black Rattata, just outside the door.

She zazzled them with balls and walked away with a satisfied smile on her face.

And I stood staring out the door, freaked out. And still not in a good way.

Because they’re out there. You can’t see them, but they’re there. Staring at us. Daring us to come out and play – or to do whatever it is they have in mind for us.

You only can see them and capture them if you download the free app on your smartphone – which I refuse to do, because I think that’s exactly what they want us all to do.

And when we all have downloaded the app, what then? How can we be sure it is we who have captured them, and not the other way around?

After all, just look at those zombified humans staggering around though our city streets and parks, staring at their cell phones, searching for invisible critters. Do you really think the guy holding the cell phone is the one in charge of his actions?

It’s bad enough our dogs have reduced us to zombies walking around

with a plastic bag on our hand, mindlessly embracing the ridicule of picking up their scat and taking it home with us as if it’s a treasure we can’t bear to leave behind. And now we’re giving up what remains of our brains to invisible beasties that only can be seen on a cell phone?

And what, exactly, are those little buggers anyway?

Oh, some will tell you they’re just characters in the latest game craze, but I think they’re more than that. Much, much more.

I think they’re the ghosts of other technological critters we have abandoned and left for dead over the years.

Betamax. 8-track tapes. Cassettes.

VHS. Dial-up modems. Floppy disks. Fax machines. Dot-matrix printers.

Mimeographs. Rotary dials. Kodak flash cubes. Pong.

All dead and gone. Or at least we thought so.

But we were wrong. They’re all out there – or at least their spirits are – wandering the world in the form of adorable little critters just outside your back door, willing you to give up what little is left of your self-control to download their app and come out and play.

Or to come out for whatever purpose they have in mind for us, once we all have surrendered to the temptation.

But I won’t do that. I won’t. It would be insanity, and my sanity is all I have left in a world gone mad.

But still, it’s small comfort to resist.

Without the app, you can pretend they’re not there because you can’t see them. …

But they’re there: wandering lonesome spirits wondering why you once loved them so much yet left them behind for something else.

They’re there … … and they want you to come out and “play.”

“We continue to see high numbers of families in need this year,” said Captain Carol Lewis, commander for the McHenry County Salvation Army. “It is very common to see clients come for emergency assistance with an eviction notice or utility disconnect notice in the thousands of dollars our neighbors face the challenges of job loss, foreclosure and medical needs on a daily basis.”

Hunter-West and her team gathered supply lists from schools throughout the county to determine the common items needed across the board. Backpacks in multiple sizes are filled for grades

kindergarten through 12. Children who qualify are able to select the backpacks of their choice, a great confidence-booster, said Hunter-West, who loves to see the pride when a child puts that backpack on for the first time and heads out the door smiling.

“We look at the bigger picture in regards to the needs of these families,” Hunter-West said. “We want to send these kids back to school with the supplies they need to be confident, focused and successful. Many of these parents have limited resources. By taking away the need to purchase school supplies,

they can focus their attention on other financial responsibilities.”

Recipients must fill out an application for eligibility to qualify for assistance. Verification of residency, proof of monthly income and Social Security cards or birth certificates for all dependent children grades K-12 are required to receive a backpack. Monetary donations also are accepted for the program and will be used to buy supplies. All donations will be given to schools and communities in McHenry County.

Gender stereotypes still rule in kids’ clothing offerings

Small businesses step up to meet market requests

By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Pink for girls. Truck motifs for boys. A growing number of parents want to get outside those parameters when it comes to dressing their kids.

Kristin Higgins was adamant about not pushing “girly” stereotypes on her daughter, and painted her room in shades of green. Higgins later dressed her up in superhero costumes. But as her daughter got older, it took more work to locate items that broke the mold. For “Star Wars”-themed pajamas, she had to go to the boys’ section.

“It’s hard to find gender-neutral clothing,” said Higgins, 35, of Little Rock, whose daughter is now 6. “I want her to just get up and put on the clothing without thinking of putting on a costume, an identity.”

Shopping for her 7-month-old son, Higgins finds clothes mainly have pictures like fire engines or sharks.

What about cats, cupcakes or hearts, she wonders.

For parents looking for clothes that defy gender norms, the options for back-to-school shopping still are limited – but they’re growing. Some big retailers such as Lands’ End and Zara

are making small changes to their offerings, while some frustrated parents have launched their own companies to make the items they wanted to find.

“There is really a sharp divide between what is considered girls’ stuff and what’s considered boys’ stuff,” Courtney Hartman said. She started Seattle-based Jessy & Jack, a collection of unisex T-shirts for kids that have robots and dinosaurs, and Free to Be Kids, where a shirt with the slogan, “I’m a Cat Guy” comes in blue, gray and yellow.

Companies like Jessy & Jack and a collection called Princess Awesome, where dresses have trains and planes, are among nearly 20 online brands that formed a campaign called Clothes Without Limits last year they’re reprising for the back-to-school season.

Still, many of the items are not cheap – T-shirts at $20 can be pricey for growing kids.

Bigger companies are offering some options, after similar shifts in the toy and bedding aisles to more neutral signs and products. Lands’ End launched a line of science T-shirts two years ago after a customer complained on social media there only was one version for boys. As part of its new Cat & Jack brand of children’s clothing kids helped design, Target offers unisex-fit T-shirts online with slogans like, “Smart & Strong” and “Future Astronaut.”

And fast-fashion chain Zara launched a collection in March for teens and older called “Ungendered” under its TRF line, which focuses on basics such as T-shirts, sweatshirts

dren – as young as 2 – to judge and interact with others in highly stereotyped ways,” she said. “We know, based on nearly 50 years of social science research, that stereotyped thinking hurts all of us, whether we are dealing with racial, gender, or any other form of stereotype.”

Macy’s says kids’ clothes generally are separated into boys’ and girls’ sections, but with an array of colors and styles in each.

“A lot of kids’ apparel today is active – sweatpants and sweatshirts, graphic Ts, etc. – and are inherently unisex,” spokeswoman Holly Thomas said in an email.

Stores such as J.C. Penney and Nordstrom say they listen to shoppers, but aren’t getting customer requests to blur the gender lines.

of her navy blue sneakers, calling them “boy shoes.” She often puts together kid outfits from thrift shops, and as she thumbs through the racks reminds her daughter: “There are no boy colors. There are no girl colors.”

Chess

industry analyst at market research group NPD Group Inc. Martine Zoer, who founded Seattle-based Quirkie Kids because her sons wanted to wear pink, said in response to her selling unisex shirts in that hue, she said she got emails saying “boys should not wear pink as it would turn them gay.”

A good portion of children’s clothing buyers are grandparents who tend to embrace more traditional ideas, said Cohen, who doesn’t expect large-scale change until the next generation starts having children.

“Once we get past the cultural discussion, that’s when you’ll see the [major] brands step out,” Cohen said.

“No one wants to risk the chance of rocking the boat.”

Chris Guerin of Portland, Oregon, said teaching his mother-in-law to buy clothes that don’t reinforce gender stereotypes is a work in progress.

“When she goes shopping with Nana, she comes back with princess [outfits] and tiaras,” Guerin said of his 3-year-old daughter. “We don’t care for that. But it’s hard to bring up the issue.”

The differences crystallized in the late 1980s, according to Jo B. Paoletti, a professor of American Studies at the University of Maryland and author of “Pink and Blue: Telling the Girls from the Boys in America.”

Paoletti noticed it when buying clothing for her daughter, who was born in 1982, and her son, four years later.

By the mid-1990s, “pink-washing was widespread,” she said.

Even disposable diapers came in blue and pink.

In part, manufacturers and marketers wanted to boost sales to American couples having fewer kids, Paoletti said. She also reasoned parents were rebelling against the more unisex fashions such as corduroy pants they grew up with. But Paoletti said the change is harmful.

Plan ahead for artwork preservation 4 ideas for hanging on to kids’ school memories and artwork

By MELISSA RAYWORTH • The Associated Press On crisp September afternoons, kids often come home from school bearing armfuls of classroom art. The evenings often bring comments about their day’s events and sometimes hilarious descriptions of their world.

Parents are sure they’ll save and remember all those paper creations and memorable words. But the pace of life soon takes over, and even organized moms and dads can end up inundated.

It’s worth creating a system to manage the flow because school artwork quickly can pile up, said Laura Russell, founder of the craft blog www.makelifelovely.com and a mother of four. With just a bit of creative effort, you also can find ways to hold onto all those funny comments you’ll want to remember years from now.

As a new school year begins, here are four easy projects to help do that:

1. Follow Them With Photos

You can build on the trend of snapping and posting “first day of school” photos by adding written notes in your kids’ own handwriting, said Kayla Kitts, special projects editor at HGTV.com. Take a photo on that first day, and that evening have kids write out a page listing their current dreams and favorites.

Include five or 10 questions about anything you’d like: the career they’d love to have someday, their favorite school lunch, best friend, favorite class. Have them write it out in their own handwriting to preserve that too, Kitts said. Then scan or photograph the page.

Do the same on the day before their December holiday break, and again during the final week of school.

Then supplement those three photos and images of their written surveys with other photos from school events or candid shots with friends, or scans of their school artwork. Lay it all out in a photo book you can order online.

“It’s a really cool book to give grandparents,” Kitts said, and is a keepsake your child will enjoy in the future.

At the end of elementary school, you easily can create a book that includes these photos and written comments as a gift to a special teacher.

2. Winnow Their Work

Russell begins each year by setting aside a big file-folder box for each child. She labels one hanging folder for each month, with some spares in case files fill up before a month ends.

If that level of organization sounds too ambitious, keep a large plastic bin handy.

“Stuff all the art in there,” Russell said, and go through it periodically, asking each child which pieces are their favorites.

Once you’ve pared things down to their favorites and yours, Russell suggests slipping the art into plastic sleeves in a three-ring binder. Her kids love thumbing through their binders from past school years.

“While I’m in charge of the books now and don’t let the kids pull them out unless I’m sitting with them, I plan on giving them their books when they’re older,” she said.

Another suggestion for storing and celebrating art: “Scan the favorite pieces as they come home. From those scans you can make a slideshow for each year of school,” Russell said.

“Life is short, and the artwork that comes home right now can be a wonderful way to tie generations together.”

This undated photo provided by HGTV.com shows a boys bathroom designed by Brian Patrick Flynn featuring framed children’s art on the walls, perfect for displaying all the newest kids artwork coming in.

3. Save Their Sayings

Buy a paper date book for each child (it can be for the current calendar year or for the 18 months that begin in July and run through the end of next year). Make sure the book offers writing space for each day – ideally half a page. Keep the book in a high-traffic spot at home with a pen attached.

When one of the kids said something that you’ll want to remember, write it on that day’s page. Then, during the weekends, ask your child to describe the previous week at school. If they wish, they also can draw pictures. It’s a wonderfully analog way to preserve a school year in our digital world.

A twist on that: Kitts suggests keeping a few glass jars around the house, along with slips of blank paper and a pen. When your child thinks of something they want to preserve, have them jot it down, write the date on it and put it in a jar. You can do the same.

Whether it’s a jar, book or even a note typed into your phone, “just write down those precious memories now,” Russell said. “We think we’ll never forget those precious words and how old our kids were when they said them, but the fact is that we do forget.”

4. Have a rotating display of their art in their rooms.

Kitts suggests hanging a few empty frames in various sizes filled with a thin sheet of cork on your child’s bedroom wall. Place pushpins in the corners of each frame. When your child brings home art they’re excited about, pin it into a frame. The pins make it easy to rotate artwork in and out.

If the walls already are full, try hanging a length of twine and use clothespins to hang a rotating selection of school artwork.

Useful move as the year wears on: Each time you reach into the bin of creations to select something new to display, choose a few items to discard.

Gem Talk : Gemstone Folklore

Ever since the discovery of the first gemstone, people have been ® creating stories about how they came to exist in our world. Some make sense while others are really whacky! Here are some of my By Karly Bulinski favorite gemstone folklore and legends.

Greek Myth – One day Dionysus, god of wine, celebration and intoxication, became enraged with the mortals and vowed to sick his two ferocious tigers on the next mortal that crossed his path. That poor soul happened to be the sweet young maiden, Amethysta who was on her way to pay homage to the goddess Diana. Before she could make it to the temple, Dionysus unleashed his vicious tigers on Amethysta but not before Diana turned her into a statue of gleaming clear quartz. Dionysus, realizing the error of his way, starting weeping tears of wine over the statue which stained the quartz purple, thus creating the gemstone Amethyst (which also happens to be the stone that protects against drunkenness.)

Egyptian Legend – To explain why tourmaline is found in almost every color, it is believed that tourmaline traveled from the heart Karly Bulinski of the Earth up to the sun and along the way it traveled through a Graduate Gemologist Email jewelry questions to: rainbow collecting all of its colors.

A legend says that a Chinese emperor once offered 15 cities in suzanne@steffansjewelers.com or karly@steffansjewelers.com exchange for a jade carving that he could hold in one hand.

Up until the 16th century, it was believed that clear quartz, or rock crystal, was water from the heavens that the gods had frozen into ice crystals, even the scientists prescribed to this speculation!

Golden topaz, or imperial topaz, was once believed to change color when it was in the presence of poisoned food or drink making it the WWW.STEFFANSJEWELERS.COM stone of choice for the royals.

Dorm decor hacks

Fun ideas to add flair to the basic box

By KIM COOK

The Associated Press Moving into a dorm is one of college life’s most exciting milestones; it’s the first time many kids are living away from the comfy confines of home.

But the thrill can wane when the dormitory door opens. Most dorm rooms are pretty basic, with plain furniture and institutional floors and walls.

So how do you take a room from spartan to snazzy when most of the budget is going to meal plans and books?

“No matter how small and cramped your dorm room may be, you can still find cute ways to store all your stuff – without spending a ton on organizers and decor,” Seventeen magazine editor Kristin Koch said.

She and stylist Sarah Newell suggest creating a floating shelf out of a magazine file box and turning

clear plastic paint cans into storage for hair accessories or school supplies. (www.seventeen.com) Repurposing and rethinking are the keys to good hacks.

Tikva Morrow is editor in chief at Hometalk. com, a New York-based do-it-yourself home and garden website. She said it’s tempting to load up on kitschy decor, but that’s a budget sucker.

“DIY some pretty embellishments of your own instead,” she said. “Bring along a few rolls of washi tape for wall decor and picture displays, and make a few large prints for walls.”

Decorative tape and fabric also can be used to jazz up shelving and built-ins.

Is that your roommate’s laptop charger, or yours? Identify the cords and accessories by wrapping them with colorful tape, advised stylist and HGTV.com contributor Michelle Edgemont. She also suggests adding the tape to a plain Jane table,

or closet door.

Look online for instructions on how to make no-sew or simple-sew pillows with old T-shirts or sweaters.

“Cute throw pillows are easy to make, and even a headboard can be DIY-ed using a large piece of cardboard, some fabric and a hot glue gun,” Morrow said.

Shower stall caddies can be hung on a door or wall to corral loose items, Gurl.com’s Jessica Booth said.

And organization blogger Laura Wittman of Alberta, Canada, said shower-curtain rings can turn ordinary hangers into scarf and belt organizers.

Or use the rings to hang fabric or curtains over existing dorm blinds, personalizing your windows.

• DORM

Continued from page 8 Dorm floors are pretty institutional, but students don’t want to spend on nice rugs that will get lots of wear and tear. On Hometalk.com, Brooke Bock of Tyrone, Pennsylvania, shares how she made a shaggy throw rug using a piece of non-slip rug matting and recycled sheet scraps.

On the same site, Sarah Ramberg of Simpsonville, South Carolina, contributed the idea of turning a silverware tray into a jewelry holder using paint, stencils and cup hooks.

A silverware tray tucked into a drawer makes good hideaway storage for keys, ID cards, sunglasses and electronics.

Design duo Zest It Up in Atascadero, California, suggests creating an artsy, no-maintenance indoor garden by painting smooth rocks and planting them as faux cacti in a cool pot.

In many dorms, beds are on lofts over desks or storage areas, Target stylist (and recent UCLA graduate) Tiffany Ma said. She recommends using Target’s Room Essentials Micro Fiber Sheets with side pockets: “It’s like having your own floating nightstand to hold your phone, tablet, book or glasses. You can get your exercise walking to class, instead of climbing up and down from your bunk.”

The retailer’s also got an over-thedoor, full-length mirror with built-in organizer.

“There’s nothing more boring than the typical cinder-block dormroom wall – they’re almost impossible to nail or screw into, plus you don’t want to get in trouble for marking them up,” Ma said.

Consider a colorful tapestry or a mural photo-printed with a “view”:

This undated photo provided by Target shows a door storage device. With storage at a premium in most dorm rooms, an overthe-door full length mirror hides a storage area for toiletries, jewelry and other items. a city at night, a scene from some faraway land, a serene nature-scape.

Attach the cloth with non-marking adhesive strips. (www.target.com) When you’re doing the school-supply run, grab some extra sticky notepads. Pinterest is full of ideas for wall art made with the sticky notes.

And instructions for crafting decorative flowers are at www.post-it.com.

Drugs, alcohol used to avoid torn-apart emotional landscape At age 30, “Will” was living with his mom, working part time at a retail place and throwing most of his meager paycheck at his rapidly deteriorating 1994 Camry. His older brother was a career military guy, doing well, living in Texas with his wife and new baby. His sister lived nearby, and, although she’d had her problems growing up, she had pulled herself up, got a teaching degree and was in her third year at the local middle school.

Will was the designated loser in the family. It always had been that way. When everyone else got into mischief, it was Will who took it too far and usually got caught. When other kids were smoking weed, Will was smoking every day and getting a reputation as a stoner. When other kids were preparing for college, Will had lost hope about getting his grades up and dropped out his senior year. Will had bought into his emotional tattoo as the designated loser and was busy living the script.

The truth was Will always had been the sensitive one in the family. He felt things more deeply and took things more seriously than his siblings and friends. His dad had died of an overdose when Will was 8 years old, and this had affected him in ways it didn’t affect the other kids. Will had been closer to his dad, a Vietnam veteran who had never gotten all the way back from the war. His dad suffered from PTSD and drug addiction and had been an unpredictable, occasionally violent guy as the kids grew up, but by the time Will came along, he had withdrawn into a heavily medicated and docile world. Will spent hours sitting by his bed hoping to help him somehow and not understanding his struggles. He felt both betrayed and responsible when his dad died.

That’s some pretty confusing and serious emotional stuff for an 8-yearold.

These issues didn’t cause Will to drift into drug problems, but they

did give him a greater emotional burden to either deal with directly or avoid. For whatever reason, Will took the path of avoidance, and the more he avoided his feelings, the more he needed to avoid.

By age 32, jobless and without a car, his mom asked him to leave. He had been stealing to buy drugs and had “borrowed” his mom’s credit card for the last time. She threatened to call the police this time if he didn’t go to rehab. With nowhere else to go, he decided rehab was better than homelessness.

Will finished rehab and got a start on sobriety and at least an introduction to his war-torn emotional landscape, but it wasn’t enough to sustain him. He descended into a six-month drug- and alcohol-fueled attempt to blot out all feelings.

That didn’t work either, and with nowhere left to turn, he put down the drugs, but not the thoughts and feelings. Although not using, he was nearly as miserable sober and woke up many mornings with the thought, “What’s the point.”

As I’ve heard some recovering people say, “We stood at the turning point”. He had been to six or seven AA meetings, and although he assumed he knew all he needed to know about it and dismissed it outof-hand, it was now, metaphorically, the last house on the block.

Will swallowed his pride, and, to his surprise, AA was a whole different organization than he thought. He found some peace with his thoughts and feelings, some genuine caring and ultimately a place of safety.

Will just celebrated two years of sobriety.

GARDEN! H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

Working in the Salvation Army community center in Crystal Lake, volunteer Makenna Schmitz, then a senior at Prairie Ridge High School, hand packs school supplies into one of hundreds of backpacks for distribution by the Salvation Army during its 2015 drive.

• SUPPLIES

Continued from page 3 The organization partners with other local groups to collect donations.

On Friday, Joe Cicero and Tina Bree from the Star 105.5 morning show broadcast live from Huntley to help collect donations and offer giveaways to those who dropped off supplies.

Leadership Greater McHenry County has collected donations for 34 backpacks full of supplies, with a goal of reaching 125, for the Salvation Army of McHenry County program. Donations still are being accepted by donating to www.leadershipgmc.org or bringing supplies to its Back to School Mixer from 5 to 7 p.m. Aug. 11 at Three Oaks Recreation Area, 5517 Route 14, Crystal Lake.

Other supply drives have taken place throughout the summer, including a Stuff the Bus event for District 200 in Algonquin earlier this month.

For those who were unable to attend the Stuff the Bus drive July 16, donations still may be dropped off from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. weekdays at the front desk of the District 300 Central Office, 2550 Harnish Drive, Algonquin.

Huntley Area Public Library has jumped on the school supply bandwagon for the first time this year, offering the additional incentive of paying off some of those book fines in the form of donations.

Leigh Ann Porsch, head of marketing and public relations for the library, thought the drive would be a good opportunity to partner with District 158 and community members to

“We look at the bigger picture in regards to the needs of these families. We want to send these kids back to school with the supplies they need to be confident, focused and successful.

Many of these parents have limited resources. By taking away the need to purchase school supplies, they can focus their attention on other financial responsibilities.”

Linda Hunter-West Head of community relations and development for the Crystal Lake Corp get the school started on a high note.

“We wanted to do something for the community and for people that might need a little extra help. We want kids to be prepared to go back and jump right in and have a successful school year,” said Porsch.

The list of qualifying supplies can be found on the library’s website.

Each item has a dollar amount associated with it that will be applied to the donator’s late fee balance or account of their choice up to $20, should they not have any outstanding. The library will be accepting supplies at its checkout desk during business hours Aug. 1 through 14.
