Good morning, McHenry County ...

St. Paul’s-A-Palooza to benefit local nonprofits Social service agencies that provide much-needed programming for our community’s most at-risk residents are among the hardest hit by the ongoing fiscal and budget crisis in Illinois.

State payments for work already completed are delayed by months if they are ever paid at all.

I’ve witnessed this firsthand as a member of the board of directors of Pioneer Center for Human Services. That’s one of the reasons why agencies such as Pioneer Center are continuously looking at fundraising to help offset late or nonexistent state payments and to keep programs open.

Pioneer Center is one of four McHenry County nonprofits that will be the beneficiaries of a pig roast fundraiser this weekend at St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Crystal Lake.

The other three – Home of the Sparrow, the Crystal Lake Food Pantry, and the Salvation Army – also do great work in the county providing much-needed help for their constituents.

The fourth annual St. Paul’s-A-Palooza and Pig Roast will be from 2 to 7 p.m. at the church, 485 Woodstock St. west of downtown.

According to the church’s Facebook page,

ON THE ROAD PLAN AGAIN

MEDICAL BENEFITS OF DENTAL FLOSS UNPROVEN

The McHenry County Board voted 20-2 to approve and fund a plan for nondedicated roads.

The plan will allow the roads to get repaired and brought up to standards to allow either local township highway departments or the county to add them to their network of maintained roads. See story, page A9.

OPTING FOR BENCH TRIAL

A McHenry man accused of killing an Island Lake woman in 2014 has waived his right to a jury trial, instead seeking a bench trial. Howard E. Dibbern’s case will be heard by a judge who will then determine a verdict. Dibbern, 51, was charged with first-degree murder in the beating and stabbing of Karen M. Scavelli. See story, page A10.

HOLMDEL, N.J. – It’s one of the most universal recommendations in all of public health: Floss daily to prevent gum disease and cavities. Except there’s little proof that flossing works.

Still, the federal government, dental organizations and manufacturers of floss have pushed the practice for decades.

Dentists provide samples to their patients; the American Dental Association insists on its website that, “Flossing is an essential part of taking care of your teeth and gums.”

When the federal government issued its latest dietary guidelines – which must be based on scientific evidence, under the law – this year, the flossing recommendation had been removed, without notice.

In a letter to the AP, the government acknowledged the effectiveness of flossing had never been researched, as required.

County fair kicks off Wednesday with plenty of events for whole family

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Whether it’s antique tractor shows, carnival attractions, demolition derbies, livestock shows or watermelon-eating contests, there’s plenty to see and do at the 2016 McHenry County Fair.

The 68th annual county fair starts Wednesday and continues through Sunday at the McHenry County Fairgrounds, 11900 Country Club Road in Woodstock.

This year’s theme is “Family Roots, Country Boots.”

“It’ll be a great family experience for the community of McHenry County,” said Tom Linneman, the treasurer of the McHenry County Fair Association.

The McHenry County Fair originally began in 1854 and closed in 1924 to reformat and bring in more family-friendly events. The fairgrounds eventually reopened in May 1949 with the help of the McHenry County Fair Association.

“We are continuing to improve our fairgrounds here,” Linneman said. “As we continue to grow and have the ability to financially support it, we’re starting to have even more family-friendly events than before.”

The 2016 fair boasts livestock shows that will fea-

Some of the more unique events this year will be a lip-sync battle, watermelon-eating contest and a lookalike contest for mothers and daughters.

Each night, there also will be a special event at the fairgrounds’ grandstands. For the first night of the fair, people can come out to the grandstands to watch a McHenry County Queen Pageant. During the annual pageant, people will select the next McHenry County queen from a group of nominees ages 16 through 21.

Something new to this year’s fair will be similar pageants for younger age groups.

“This year, we’ve introduced a princess age group, a junior age group and a teenage group for the McHenry County Queen Pageant,” fair board member Kim Martin said.

With plenty of things to do at the fair, there’s something for each family member to enjoy. Fans of bluegrass and country music should enjoy a concert performed by reality TV family The Willis Clan.

The family of musicians will perform at 8:30 p.m.

Thursday after they are opened for by country singer Caroline Kole.

Along with hosting new events, Martin, who has been attending the fair for the past 20 years, said she’s seen major improvements over the past couple decades in terms of its accessibility to the public.

Nick Provenzano resigning from County Board to work for Hultgren

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – McHenry County Board member Nick Provenzano is resigning to pursue a full-time job opportunity with U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, prompting a last-minute scramble by Republicans to find a replacement candidate for the Nov. 8 election.

Provenzano, R-McHenry, made the announcement at the end of Tuesday’s County Board meeting. He will be assuming the role of deputy district director for the 14th Congressional District, which covers most of McHenry County and six other suburban counties.

While Provenzano said his new position will allow him to continue to serve the residents of the county and the district, he said the parting will be bittersweet. He was first elected to represent the board’s District 3, which includes Nunda, southeastern McHenry and northeastern Algonquin townships, in 2002.

“I made this transition with a degree of sadness, however, as it has been the greatest honor of my life to serve the residents of McHenry County and, specifically, District 3,” Provenzano said.

Provenzano has served Hultgren, R-Plano, on a part-time basis since 2013 as his senior district representative.

Provenzano said his resignation will take effect sometime next month.

A staunch supporter of the proposed interchange at Route 23 and Interstate 90 in Marengo, Provenzano said he would like to see that project off before he steps down.

And unsaid was that it would give

“I made this transition with a degree of sadness, however, as it has been the greatest honor of my life to serve the residents of McHenry County and, specifically, District 3.”

Nick Provenzano

McHenry County Board member the McHenry County Republican Party time to find someone who could not only fill out the remaining two months of his term, but also to get elected to another four.

Party Chairwoman Sandra Fay Salgado, a former County Board member, said Provenzano has “always been a strong Republican,” and that the party must find another to replace him.

The candidate would not have long to build up a campaign before the Nov. 8 election – that successor, and District 3 Republican incumbent Michael Walkup, will be running against Democratic challengers Kenneth Miller and Diane Johnson for two open seats.

“We hate to see him go, but now we have to focus on getting the right person on that ballot,” Salgado said.

Replacing Provenzano on the ballot is a decision to be made by the GOP precinct committeemen of District 3, Salgado said. They also would submit that name to County Board Chairman Joe Gottemoller, R-Crystal Lake, for a vote to fill out the remainder of Provenzano’s term. Gottemoller, who not only is

one of those committeemen but also is the chairman of the Nunda Township Republican Central Committee, will have a significant say in the process, Salgado said.

Provenzano’s new job will be Hultgren’s liaison for McHenry, Lake and DeKalb counties, and to work on transportation initiatives for the entire district, which also includes parts of the other collar counties and Kendall County.

“It’s a huge opportunity to be doing the same things I’ll be doing here, but for seven counties,” Provenzano said.

Provenzano served 12 years on the board, narrowly losing his 2008 re-election bid but winning the subsequent 2010 election. He unsuccessfully ran for county clerk in 2014, losing in the GOP primary to fellow County Board member Mary McClellan.

He earned a reputation as one of the board’s most outspoken conservative members, and showed it earlier in Tuesday’s meeting with his fiery support of a plan to help homeowners along nondedicated roads get them fixed and into the county’s network of maintained streets.

Several of those homeowners and his fellow County Board members thanked him for his service after the meeting, which adjourned shortly after his resignation.

“This is a loss,” said board member Andrew Gasser, R-Fox River Grove.

County Board District 3 covers all or parts of Crystal Lake, McHenry, Prairie Grove, Lakemoor, Holiday Hills, Island Lake, Oakwood Hills and Port Barrington.

WOODSTOCK – Lucky Bernie’s has opened its second McHenry County location in Woodstock, and has plans for more in the area, a store manager said.

A grand opening for the upscale sandwich shop, 11605 Catalpa Lane, Woodstock, near the Route 47 and Route 14 intersection, is planned for September, manager Bryan Sterbenz said.

The Spring Grove location opened in June, Sterbenz said, and has been “nonstop busy.” The Woodstock location also has seen traffic after its soft opening July 22, he said.

Sterbenz said the most rewarding part of opening the stores for him, owner Kathy Leavitt and other managers William Volkmar and Jeremy Oliphant has been seeing everyone who comes in enjoy themselves.

“I think that we’re all happy to have come this far,” Sterbenz said.

Lucky Bernie’s serves about 25 different kinds of wine, 35 kinds of craft beer, 20 types of Boar’s Head meat and 12 kinds of Boar’s Head cheese, Sterbenz said. There’s almost a pound of meat and cheese on each sandwich they make, he said.

The 1,900-square-foot Woodstock location also offers five video gaming machines and a rewards kiosk, Sterbenz said.

The store is open from 8 a.m. to 1 a.m. Monday through Thursday, and will remain open until 2 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays, he said.

Friday nights at 7 p.m., Antioch musician Kent Lewis will perform an acoustic set at the restaurant in Woodstock.

Oliphant said they’re planning on opening another Lucky Bernie’s in Huntley sometime in the fall.

But for now, “I’m really looking forward to growing with the community and getting to know Woodstock well,” Oliphant said.

The McHenry County Board voted Tuesday, 20-2, to approve a plan to repair the county’s nondedicated roads.

Voting no were Larry Smith, R-Harvard, and Don Kopsell, R-Crystal Lake.

Board member Michael Rein, R-Woodstock, recused himself because he owns a rental property along a nondedicated road. Member Anna May Miller, R-Cary, was absent. was cautiously optimistic.

“We’re looking forward to seeking follow-through,” Beltran said. “[The plan] does wonders for getting elderly homeowners out of the road-building business.”

Nondedicated roads, some of which date back a century or more, are public roads that do not fall under any government’s responsibility to maintain them, meaning that residents who pay property and motor-fuel taxes for road maintenance do not see any benefit.

Plowing the roads, and even filling potholes, falls to the homeowners.

The resolution allocates slightly more than $8 million over five years for nondedicated roads. About 50 centerline miles of them exist, according to a McHenry County Division of Transportation survey taken last year, with the vast majority of them in Algonquin, McHenry and Nunda townships. Residents along 23 miles of these

roads want them to be improved and become part of a public road jurisdiction, the survey found.

Although it quickly became obvious on the County Board that the measure had enough support to pass, the proposal and some of the unknowns involved prompted about 90 minutes of at times heated debate.

Board Chairman Joe Gottemoller removed the resolution from the consent agenda for debate and an individual vote. Even though Gottemoller, R-Crystal Lake, eventually voted yes, he said as he cast that vote that “we’ve opened a big hole in our budget,” although he was drowned out by the applause of residents.

Gottemoller said the unknowns included the true costs of repair, liability and maintenance. For example, the resolution puts the responsibility for maintaining the roads on the county should the particular township high-

WOODSTOCK – After eight often-frustrating years, a coalition of homeowners along nondedicated roads prevailed in their fight to find a way by which their road taxes can be used to maintain their streets.

The McHenry County Board voted Tuesday morning, 20-2, to approve and fund a plan by which such roads can get repaired and brought up to standards that would allow either local township highway departments or the county to add them to their network of maintained roadways.

The vote likely brings a happy ending to a prolonged struggle by residents along these roads to get a return on their road taxes – some members of the Nondedicated Roads Coalition said their gray hair had color when they first came before the County Board.

Residents over the years have accused some on the County Board, as well as township road commissioners, of obstructing the process.

Coalition members with their yellow buttons attended the meeting in force and burst into applause when the resolution passed. Robert Beltran, who lives in the East Pistakee Bay subdivision in McHenry Township, said he

How they voted

way departments refuse to do so or simply ignore the request.

But board member Nick Provenzano, R-McHenry, defended the due diligence in crafting the plan. He and several other board members argued that wanting the perfect plan would get in the way of a good one that would give homeowners needed relief.

“If this was any other project, [the information] would be adequate to say move forward,” Provenzano said.

Board member Diane Evertsen, R-Harvard, supported the proposal, and said some members of the County Board who were concerned about the cost and the unknowns have been eager to spend much more on the proposed Randall Road improvement and the Route 23 and I-90 interchange, which are significantly more expensive. Evertsen opposes both projects.

A few members said residents have waited far too long for relief.

Board member Michael Walkup, R-Crystal Lake, said the time had come for the board to take a leap of faith and “stop dilly-dallying.” Robert Martens Sr., R-Spring Grove, echoed the sentiment.

“We need to respond to our citizens, and we need to respond, not tomorrow, not 10 years from now, but today,” Martens said.

McHenry man charged Going on in Island Lake homicide waives right to jury trial

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – McHenry County jurors won’t hear the case of a McHenry man accused of killing an Island Lake woman.

Howard E. Dibbern, 51, has waived his right to a jury trial and instead asked for a bench trial in which a judge hears the case and determines a verdict. McHen- Howard E. ry County Judge Sharon Dibbern Prather was previously assigned to the case, which is scheduled for trial on Sept.

12.

Dibbern was charged in 2014 with first-degree murder, concealing a homicide and possession of a stolen motor vehicle. He is accused of beating and stabbing 48-year-old Karen M. Scavelli in her Island Lake home and breaking her neck.

An autopsy revealed she died from blunt force trauma.

Dibbern also allegedly stole her vehicle and crashed it into a Mundelein home, where he was apprehended by police.

He has since been in McHenry County Jail custody in lieu of $2 million bond.

Dibbern was on parole at the time of the homicide after serving three years in a Department of Corrections prison on a weapons charge out of Cook County, according to court records.

Dibbern’s attorneys previously indicated they would proceed on an insanity defense, meaning they would argue their client was legally insane at the time of the alleged crime. Dibbern has previously undergone psychological examinations.

Police have said Dibbern is from McHenry, but court records indicate he lived in Chicago.

Dibbern’s next court date is scheduled for Aug. 25.

“We have a lot of new building improvements, as the pedestrian walkways have now been paved, we’ve revitalized some old buildings [and] we’re working really hard to try and make things wheelchair accessible,” she said.

The fairgrounds open at 7 a.m. each day. Daily admission into the fairgrounds is $8 for adults and $5 for children ages 6 to 12, seniors and veterans.

Children 5 and younger get in for free.

Attendees also can buy a season pass for $25 as an alternative to a daily ticket, which gives them access to all five days of the fair.

With so much going on this year, Linneman said, the fairgrounds wouldn’t have been ready in time without the help of volunteers.

“There’s a lot of setup, and we couldn’t have this fair without the hundreds of volunteers that come out from the 4-H club, to members of the fair association, to businesses that support us with equipment and manpower to get everything ready,” Linneman said.

“You don’t need a weatherman / To know which way the wind blows.”

VIEWS Joan Oliver

– Bob Dylan

Doppler. Sadly, he did not. Still, I felt compelled to get the child a book about the weather. He’ll need it to keep up with his dear old dad.

You’d think with all of this information readily available, we’d have a handle on what the conditions will be when we step out the door each day.

Back in the day, there used to be a novelty item called a “weather rock.”

If it was wet, it was raining. If it cast a shadow, it was sunny. If it could not be seen, it was foggy. You get the idea.

Of course, it wasn’t much good at forecasts. Then again, some people seem to think the meteorologists aren’t, either.

One of my co-workers likes to point out how many times the National Weather Service errs in its storm warnings and advisories. And don’t even get him started when it comes to winter weather advisories.

These days, it seems the weather folk do get it right more times than not. And when they do not, oftentimes it’s just a matter of an hour or two.

• Wednesday, August 3, 2016

Bob Dylan was making a political statement with those lyrics, but in them lie a fundamental truth. We usually don’t need someone to tell us what the current weather conditions are.

However, we do seem to require some help to know what’s on the horizon.

Americans, it seems, are obsessed with the weather. Or maybe just us Midwesterners.

Here in the Chicago area, a radio station gives weather reports every 10 minutes. Weather figures prominently on the local TV news all day long. And there’s even a cable TV channel devoted to atmospheric phenomena.

Each outlet tries to outdo the others with the strength of its radar equipment. One even brags about its tricked-out SUV to drive through any weather conditions to provide up-tothe-minute information. But even as we mock, we watch, transfixed by all the talk of clouds and rotation and wind speeds.

I once worked with a guy who was so fixated on weather conditions that it was suggested he name his first son

Take a day last week, for instance.

Sure, they said it was going to be cooler and less humid. That didn’t happen.

They also said there was a chance of storms after noon. Well, technically, they said at noon. That didn’t happen, either.

However, armed with that information, I wasn’t too surprised to see the sky darkening around 2 p.m. as I walked out of a friend’s house. She lives only a couple of blocks away from me, but I knew I had no time to spare, given the thunder and random flashes of lightning.

Sure enough, I had just enough time to scurry into my house before the deluge began.

The weather-forecasting business is a little harder than it appears. And for as much as we “know” about the weather, a good number of us wouldn’t be able to begin to put together the elaborate computer models that are used in those predictions.

Clearly, it’s not an exact science.

Still, I’ll stick with the professionals.

Polish Cardinal Franciszek Macharski dies at 89 The Associated Press

WARSAW, Poland – Cardinal Franciszek Macharski, a popular Polish prelate who served for many years as archbishop of Krakow, inheriting the position opened by the election of Pope John Paul II, died on Tuesday. He was 89.

Macharski held one of the top positions in Poland’s Catholic church in an era when the church played a leading role in opposing the communist system AP file photo – action that helped to undermine the Polish Cardinal Franciszek Macharski regime’s authority in the eyes of many officiates a Mass for Pope John Paul II Poles. in 2005 in St. Peter’s Basilica at the VatThe death of Macharski, who had been close to John Paul and was deeply ican. Macharski died Tuesday.

respected, comes five days after Pope Francis stopped by his hospital in Krakow to pray for him during a visit last week to Poland.

He was hospitalized in June and was unconscious at the time of Francis’ visit. The death was reported by the Rev. Piotr Studnicki, a spokesman for the archdiocese in Krakow.

From the Vatican, Francis wrote that he received the news of Macharski’s death “with pain.”

In a letter to the current Krakow archbishop, Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz, Francis said that Macharski “guided the church in Krakow in the not easy period of political and social changes with wisdom.”

President Andrzej Duda tweeted that

it was a “huge loss” and called Macharski a “great Pole (and) outstanding man of the church.”

In Krakow, the Royal Sigismund Bell at the Wawel Cathedral tolled for several minutes. The bell is a national symbol that only tolls on certain feast days and national holidays and is otherwise reserved for special occasions.

Macharski was appointed Krakow archbishop in 1978 by John Paul, who had held the position himself until he was elected pope earlier that year.

Macharski served as archbishop until 2005, retiring two months after John Paul died after a 27-year pontificate.

Macharski was succeeded by Dziwisz, John Paul’s longtime aide and friend.

Obama’s library a choice between 2 parks

By JASON KEYSER

The Associated Press CHICAGO – The two sites Barack Obama considered for his presidential library are only a mile apart in Chicago’s South Side. But the decision to build the museum in a lakefront park rather than a nearby impoverished neighborhood has left some residents worried it was a missed opportunity.

The Obama Foundation will hold a ceremony Wednesday to unveil Barack details of the president’s Obama choice of Jackson Park instead of Washington Park. For the city’s residents, there are key differences between the two historic parks, which are both near the University of Chicago.

Here is a look at each site, and the pros and cons involved in the decision:

Advocates urge Illinoisans to comment on health plan rates

CHICAGO – Consumer advocates encouraged Illinoisans to make their voices heard Tuesday, one day after proposed insurance rate increases as high as 45 percent were made public for health plans sold in the state under the federal health care law.

Illinois released insurance companies’ rate increase requests for 2017 late Monday, making it one of the last states in the nation to reveal what insurers have requested.

As in many parts of the country, Illinois insurers want higher premiums for next year because they have taken significant financial losses under the health law.

Enrollment has been lower than anticipated, new customers were sicker than expected, and a government system to

The surrounding neighborhood is associated with poverty, population decline and empty lots. It’s also closer to the belt of neighborhoods that are home to most of Chicago’s gang violence.

The state university has let go of nearly 400 employees since the beginning of the year, or about 40 percent of its staff.

CHICAGO – State records show Chicago State University paid out $2.2 million in severance and unused vacation payments after mass layoffs amid a budget crisis.

The school paid $1.6 million in severance to about 50 administrators, an amount equal to salaries they would have received if they hadn’t been terminated, the Chicago Tribune reported. The school spent an additional $650,000 to pay about 130 administrators and civilian service employees for unused va-

police-involved shootings made no mention in quarterly reports in recent years of dozens of incidents in which officers fired their weapons and had no records at all of six shooting incidents, the city’s inspector general found in a report released Tuesday.

“I’m just so unhappy,” said Jacky Grimshaw, vice president for policy at the Center for Neighborhood Technology, an urban development and economic advocacy organization.

Grimshaw, a longtime resident of the area who grew up playing in Washington Park, said building the library there could have reversed population decline and created more economic opportunity.

THE GENTRIFICATION EFFECT

But some Washington Park community leaders are quietly pleased the library will be close but not too close.

The area was once home to one of the highest concentrations of public housing in the country before those highrise projects were torn down about a decade ago. Their residents were able to remain in the neighborhood thanks to federal housing benefits for low-income people.

Activists were concerned the library might have driven a rapid gentrification that would have raised housing costs and forced longtime residents out.

the public is being told – and not told – when officers use force.

“During this historic moment of transformation of police oversight in Chicago, the city should recognize that the use-of-force reporting is a crucial tool for meaningful transparence,” Inspector General Joe Ferguson’s office concluded in the report.

Obama says Trump is ‘unfit’ for presidency

WASHINGTON – In a searing denouncement, President Barack Obama castigated Donald Trump as “unfit” and “woefully unprepared” to serve in the White House.

He challenged Republicans to withdraw their support for their party’s nominee, declaring, “There has to come a point at which you say ‘enough.’ ” While Obama has long been critical of Trump, his blistering condemnation Tuesday was a notable escalation of his involvement in the presidential race. Obama questioned whether Trump would “observe basic decency” as president, argued he lacks elementary knowledge about domestic and international affairs, and condemned his disparagement of an American Muslim couple whose son was killed while serving the U.S. Army in Iraq.

A chorus of Republicans has disavowed Trump’s criticism of Khizr and Ghazala Khan and the Republican nominee’s calls to temporarily ban Muslims from coming to the U.S. But Obama argued that isn’t enough.

“If you are repeatedly having to say, in very strong terms, that what he has said is unacceptable, why are you still endorsing him?” Obama asked during a White House news conference. “What does this say about your party that this is your standard-bearer?” No prominent Republican lawmaker responded to Obama’s challenge.

Instead, it was Trump stunningly withholding his support from top GOP lawmakers, including House Speaker Paul Ryan. In an affront to his party’s top elected official, Trump told The Washington Post he wasn’t “quite there yet” on an endorsement for Ryan in his primary next week.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally Tuesday at Briar Woods High School in Ashburn, Va. Trump’s refusal to back Ryan exposed anew the deep divisions within the GOP and underscored that the businessman rarely plays by the traditional political playbook.

Ryan has been among those urging Republicans to rally around Trump, despite concerns about his candidacy.

Ryan’s campaign said, “Neither Speaker Ryan nor anyone on his team has ever asked for Donald Trump’s endorsement. And we are confident in a victory next week regardless.”

Trump also said he was not supporting Sen. John McCain in his primary in Arizona, and he dismissed Sen. Kelly Ayotte as a weak and disloyal leader in New Hampshire Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton sees those GOP concerns about Trump as an opportunity to reach out to party moderates – particularly women – who may be so upset by the nominee that they’re willing to look past policy differences and questions about Clinton’s character.

The president – is enjoying heightened popularity in his eighth and final year in office – plans to campaign robustly for Clinton through Election Day. He and first lady Michelle Obama spoke at last

week’s Democratic convention in Philadelphia.

The Khans also appeared at the convention, with Khizr Khan telling the story of his son, U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan, who was posthumously awarded a Bronze Star and Purple Heart after his death in 2004. Khan criticized Trump’s position on Muslims and asked whether the real estate mogul had read the Constitution.

For most politicians, tangling with a bereaved military family would be out of bounds. But Trump dove in, questioning why Ghazala Khan did not speak, implying her religion prevented her from doing so, and saying he was “viciously attacked” by Khizr Khan.

Trump’s criticism was part of a familiar pattern: He can’t let go of a perceived slight, no matter the potential damage to his presidential campaign or political reputation.

Those who have worked with him say that in private meetings he can often appear amenable to putting a controversy aside. But the businessman can quickly be drawn back in by an interview, especially if he believes he’s already answered a question, or if he grows irritated by commentary on cable television.

Fire crews were monitoring high winds and building fire lines as they tackled a large blaze in south-central Washington.

The wildfire was burning about 12 miles north of Sunnyside. It held steady overnight.

The blaze has scorched about 273 square miles of brush and grass since it started Saturday on the U.S. Army’s Yakima Training Center. It was about 10 percent contained.

It’s the largest of several wildfires burning in Washington state.

Firefighters expected dry, hot winds and the possibility of erratic flames in a series of wildfires that have charred almost 75 square miles of rangeland in northwest Nevada.

Officials predicted humidity in the single-digits in the Virginia Mountains with wind gusts up to 45 mph.

LIMA, Peru – Governments known to stifle dissent with imprisonment and beatings or otherwise abuse their power are buying cheap, off-the-shelf surveillance software that can monitor the phone conversations and track the movements of thousands of their citizens, an Associated Press investigation has found.

Such so-called “lawful intercept” software has been available for years to Western police and spy agencies and is now easily obtained by governments that routinely violate basic rights – outside a short blacklist that includes Syria and North Korea. For less than the price of a military helicopter, a country with little technical know-how can buy powerful surveillance gear.

Domestic spy operations rely upon companies such as the Israeli-American firm Verint Systems, which has customers in more than 180 countries.

Verint also has supplied U.S. law-enforcement agencies, including those that target drug traffickers in Mexico and Colombia.

The scope and sophistication of Verint’s products is made clear in con-

who buys them.

In Peru, the nation’s domestic intelligence agency spent a mere $22 million on a Verint package just months before its activities ground to a halt in a domestic spying scandal. The AP independently confirmed sales in countries including Australia, Brazil, Mexico and Colombia.

“The status quo is completely unacceptable,” said Marietje Schaake, a European Union lawmaker pushing for greater oversight. “The fact that this market is almost completely unregulated is very disturbing.”

Analysts say about half of Verint’s surveillance dealings are in the developing world. Since the early 2000s, Verint and top competitor Nice Systems have sold mass surveillance products to the secret police in Uzbekistan and to Kazakhstan, the advocacy group Privacy International has reported.

That equipment has let Uzbek police quickly locate and arrest people who discuss sensitive information on the phone or via email, dissidents say. “The authorities’ main weapon is people’s fear,” said Tulkin Karayev, a Sweden-based exile. “Freedom of speech, freedom of expression – all this is banned.”

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Dems test out governor candidates Illinois Democrats gathering last week in Philadelphia appeared to be more focused on 2018 than 2016. Two familiar names were being tossed about as potential challengers to Gov. Bruce Rauner.

Dick Durbin, Illinois’ senior senator and the party’s minority whip in the U.S. Senate, told reporters his top priority was the 2016 presidential election. But he didn’t deny he was considering taking on Rauner. Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, who also serves as the state party chairman, added to the speculation by saying Durbin would be “uniquely qualified for the job.”

Durbin’s longevity, political history and name recognition would make him the favorite. A poll conducted by We Ask America, an independent subsidiary of Xpress Professional Services in Oak Brook, says half of Illinois Democrats prefer Durbin as their party’s gubernatorial can-

didate. Politico reports Durbin will make a decision after the November election.

Chris Kennedy, the former chairman of the University of Illinois Board of Trustees and a son of the late Robert F. Kennedy, also attracted attention in Philadelphia – not all of it welcomed. Speaking to the Illinois delegation, Kennedy lambasted Rauner for his proposals to reel in unions and his inability to fashion a state budget.

As he did with Durbin, Madigan voiced support for Kennedy, saying the Chicago businessman “would bring to the campaign the history of his family, which would be very helpful.”

More than family ties, Kennedy has two advantages going for him: his deep connections within the business community and his vision for stronger higher education. Both qualities would help a future governor improve the state’s economy.

Two other familiar names were mentioned: Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan and former Gov. Pat Quinn.

Madigan would have an obvious strength and weakness as a candidate. Her father, Speaker Madigan, is the most powerful politician in the state, giving her a well-oiled political machine from which to work. But a father-daughter power combo is a huge negative.

Quinn, ever the outsider, has been keeping his name in the conversation by advocating for mayoral term limits in Chicago.

At the center, as has been the case for the past 20 years, is Speaker Madigan. He holds more cards than the others do combined.

Serious candidates should ask themselves: “How badly do I want to be governor if Mike Madigan is really calling the shots?”

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.

Behavior shows professionalism lacking on County Board

To the Editor: In our family’s journey through the ongoing public health crisis at Valley Hi Nursing Home, I spoke at the McHenry County Board meeting July 19.

At that meeting, board ,ember Carolyn Schofield read to her peers, “10 Ways to Be a Professional.” I silently wondered why she would need to read this type of article to her fellow board members.

Unfortunately, I was soon to have my answer. When I spoke during the public comments portion of the meeting, I glanced up to see two of the board members making facial expressions and using body language that appeared to me to be demeaning and mocking of my concerns. When my husband caught the eye of one of the members who was mimicking my presentation, the board member immediately stopped his mocking behavior and cast his eyes downward.

There appear to be serious issues with the professionalism of our elected officials on this County Board if they feel they can engage in this type of behavior when a citizen comes before them to share an opinion or concern. In addition, one member wore some kind of Halloween-type headdress of horns. We left the meeting discouraged and enraged at the treatment I received.

Evidently, Carolyn Schofield had

I remember when I was a young reporter in the Quad Cities with a postage stamp yard and a need for a lawnmower.

I told my grandfather to keep an eye out for me at yard sales. A week later, he called me up and said he found an old manual reel mower. The owner wanted 50 cents, but Grandpa said he talked her down to 25.

Yep, that’s my family.

I don’t care what you call it: haggling, bartering, negotiating or wrangling. It’s becoming a lost art.

Earlier this year, I went with a friend to a used furniture store. He wanted me to haul his purchases in my pickup, and I tagged along with

Theater companies, venues need different categories

To the Editor: The category for live theater in the Best of the Fox awards needs to be separated into two categories: venue and theater companies. You already separate housing from home services because there is a huge difference between these categories. There’s also a huge difference between groups that produce shows and the venue that houses performances. They’re not the same people and have completely different processes.

The Woodstock Opera House is the venue for Woodstock Musical Theater Company and TownSquare Players.

These and other companies don’t want to compete with their own or other venues. Carelessly grouping them together lacks respect for what each company does.

The Opera House and the Raue Center are used for lots more than live theater – they should be judged only as venues.

him into the showroom.

I saw an office chair I liked. It had soft leather, solid casters and it was my favorite color – olive green. But they wanted $120 for it.

My friend said, “Well if you like it, why don’t you just buy it?” I gave him a scowl.

When the salesman wandered over, I said, “How much you want for that ugly old chair?” “$120.”

I gave him a look like someone who had been sucking a lemon peel and then asked how many more he had like it.

“None.”

I shook my head disgustedly and said: “So you can’t sell me anything that matches it?”

“Well, no.”

I gave the chair a look like that chair was an ugly stray and offered him $15.

We settled for $20.

That’s how you negotiate a sale.

Or at least that’s how I was brought up to do it.

When I’m out with the family and I start negotiating, my 10-yearold daughter will tug on my wife’s sleeve and say, “Mom, Dad’s doing it again,” and then she’ll look away, a little embarrassed.

You see, I’ll dicker over the price of just about anything: my work boots, my kids’ clothes, tires, furniture, a piano, hotel rooms and so many other things.

It’s just who I am.

Life may be hard. Why not strive for a hard bargain?

I hope that’s a lesson my kids are learning from me.

I looked up the procedural vote on HR 1057. Why did Franks decide not to vote rather than voting “no” to sending the legislation to the Rules Committee to die?

Why should McHenry County residents care? Franks would rather not vote than vote his conscience. Franks cannot stand up to Democrats, Mike Madigan and the Chicago political machine by actually voting “no” against the Democrat majority. Wake up, McHenry County voters.

SPRINGFIELD – Everything in life is negotiable – especially the prices.

I was chatting with a college friend the other day, and he mentioned how much he missed Saturn cars.

I was surprised. After all, who would miss those ugly cars with plastic doors that General Motors has quit making?

Well, he said, it wasn’t so much the vehicles themselves he missed as the concept of a chain of car dealerships that prohibits negotiating the price on a vehicle.

Huh? Apparently, there are people out there who don’t enjoy haggling for a better price.

I’m not one of them. Never have been. Never will be.

Paid family leave benefits rising in some areas

By DAMIAN TROISE and MATT OTT The Associated Press

NEW YORK – The call for paid family leave on the Democratic Party platform is the most ambitious attempt by a major party in years to reverse the United States’ status as the only industrialized nation without any standard for paid time off for new parents. But over the last five years, a handful of states and some industries have been quietly increasing this benefit.

Last week’s convention put paid family leave on the list of workplace election issues along with the minimum wage and equal pay. The Democrats said they will try to secure up to 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave to care for a new child. While the Republican platform makes no specific reference to paid family leave, the GOP in 2015 called for establishing a “flexible credit hour program” in which workers could exchange overtime hours worked for future leave time.

While Americans generally support paid family leave – a poll conducted this spring by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that 72 percent of Americans 40 and older support the benefit – efforts to adopt a national standard haven’t gone anywhere. Advocates are now more hopeful. “It’s taken on an inevitability,” said Ellen Bravo, executive director of Family Values @ Work, an advocacy group. “Not that it will happen by itself, that it will take work. It took a decade to get the first three states.”

More reason for optimism is that a

“For many companies, this is a business issue. It’s about retaining and attracting talent.”

Ellen Bravo

Executive director of Family Values @ Work few states and several competitive industries have slowly been bolstering paid parental leave laws and policies.

Here’s a look at the current best and worst industries and regions with regard to paid family leave benefits.

Best industries

The technology sector leads the private sector in parental leave offerings.

About 30 percent of tech workers had access to paid family leave, up from 23 percent in 2011, a Bureau of Labor Statistics survey from March 2015 found. That’s nearly triple the average of all industries. About 12 percent of workers overall had access to paid family leave in 2015, up just slightly from 11 percent in 2011.

Netflix made a media splash last year when it changed its policy to allow new mothers and fathers up to a year off. Etsy gives new parents up to 26 weeks off, while Google offers 12 weeks of paid time, and Microsoft has expanded its offering to 20 weeks.

Facebook offers 16 weeks of paid leave to new parents, and CEO Mark Zuckerberg made headlines when he took two months off to care for his new daughter.

The industries that shine tend to

compete for workers globally where other nations and companies offer generous benefits. “For many companies, this is a business issue,” Bravo said.

“It’s about retaining and attracting talent.”

Such industries include the financial sector. Bank of America, Merrill Lynch and Citi all offer more than 12 weeks of paid parental leave.

Recently, Ernst & Young boosted its paid parental leave to 16 weeks from 12 weeks and made the entire amount available to both men and women. The company’s benefits also include a career and family transition program that gives new moms and dads a coach to help them better balance work and family.

Lindsay Abt, a partner in the company’s audit practice, cited its leave policy as a key asset in helping her adjust to being a new parent.

“As a new mom, you’re trying to figure out what that means along with a new schedule. With the leave I took, by the time I went back to work, I felt I was in a good routine,” she said.

Best places

California allows workers to receive 55 percent of their pay for up to six weeks, through a state insurance program funded by workers. A new San Francisco law requires private employers within the city to make up the remainder of a new parent’s full pay for six weeks.

Starting in 2018, New York workers will become eligible to take up to 12 weeks’ paid time off to care for a new

child or sick relative. The benefit will be funded by worker payroll contributions and will start at 50 percent of an employee’s weekly wage up to the statewide average.

New Jersey law allows new parents to receive two-thirds of their average weekly wage for up to six weeks during a 12-month period or until benefits equal to one-third of total wages during their base year, whichever is less.

In 2013, Rhode Island amended its temporary disability law to include caregivers and new parents. The benefit, funded by an employee payroll tax, allows for up to four weeks paid leave at about 60 percent of one’s wages with a maximum weekly benefit of $795 per week.

Worst industries

Traditional “blue-collar” jobs remain the weakest for paid family leave.

For those working in the service, manufacturing, farming or construction industries, worker access to paid family leave is mostly under 10 percent and stagnant, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data from 2015 and 2011.

Worst places

The Labor Department says workers in the East South Central region – which includes Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee – are the least likely to have access to paid family leave. Only about 7 percent of workers in those states had access to paid family benefits, while every other region came in between 10 percent and 15 percent.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – Jimmy Fallon will be in charge of the 2017 Golden Globe Awards.

Fallon will host the three-hour ceremony that’s scheduled to air Jan. 8 on NBC, the network said Tuesday.

Fallon, host of NBC’s “Tonight Show,” has a playful humor that’s a good match for the “spontaneous and uninhibited” awards show, NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt said.

Fallon takes over from last year’s host, Ricky Gervais, whose biting style of humor brought groans as well as laughs.

Oprah Winfrey arrives at the Season 1 premiere of “Greenleaf” on June 15 at The Lot in West Hollywood, Calif. Winfrey has a new book club pick, Colson Whitehead’s “The Underground Railroad.”

Oprah Winfrey picks Colson Whitehead novel for book club NEW YORK – Oprah Winfrey has a new book club pick, Colson Whitehead’s “The Underground Railroad,” a historical novel that imagines the network of safe houses and passages that helped slaves escape to free territory is an actual train.

Winfrey told The Associated Press during a recent telephone interview that she knew from the first sentence that she would want to share her passion with her audience, an impulse she has relied on with uncommon success for 20 years.

“I was blown away by it,” Winfrey said. “ ‘Blown away’ is an often-used expression, but with this book it was to the point of sometimes putting it down and saying, ‘I can’t read anymore. I don’t want to turn the page. I want to know what happens, but I don’t want to know what happens.’”

“The Underground Railroad” was scheduled to come out in September, but after learning of Winfrey’s decision, Doubleday moved up the release date to Tuesday and more than doubled the announced first printing, from 75,000 to 200,000.

Winfrey’s website, Oprah.com, will include a reading guide and Winfrey’s comments, and “Underground Railroad” will be featured on the social media site Goodreads.

Whitehead, 46, is the author of highly regarded novels such as “The Intuitionist” and “John Henry Days,” and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle award. In “The Underground Railroad,” his sixth novel, he imagines that the network of safe houses and passages that enabled slaves to reach free territory is an actual train. The book was already highly anticipated, with the trade publication Kirkus Reviews calling it “startlingly original” and praising Whitehead for examining “race mythology and history with rousing audacity and razor-sharp ingenuity.”

Sharing hope

Social media offers success stories, support to parents of newborns with severe birth defects

By LINDSEY TANNER The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Parents of newborns with rare genetic conditions used to hear the grim words the severe birth defects were “incompatible with life.”

Support groups and social media showing the exceptions have changed the landscape. So has mounting research suggesting not all such babies are doomed to die.

The latest study focuses on trisomy 13 or trisomy 18 – genetic conditions that typically cause mental impairment, facial and organ abnormalities, breathing problems, heart defects and other medical problems. They involve extra copies of certain chromosomes.

Two decades of data from Ontario, Canada, illustrates how rare the conditions are and how most babies still die. Of the 428 babies born, only 65 – less than 20 percent – lived for at least a year. Twenty-nine survived at least 10 years. There’s little previous research on these children surviving that long, and the new results suggest the birth defects are not always as lethal as doctors have advised parents.

The study doesn’t include information on survivors’ quality of life, but severe disabilities are the norm. The researchers say without that information, the study alone can’t guide decisions about how to treat children with the conditions.

Former GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum’s 8-year-old daughter, Bella, has trisomy 18. His wife, Karen, has said their doctor told the family there was no need to bring their newborn home with oxygen despite medical problems that included breathing difficulties. “You have to learn to let go,” she says they were told.

Online images of smiling kids with the conditions has led some parents to doubt the dire warnings and seek aggressive and costly surgeries to correct organ abnormalities. Ethicists say the power of social media is changing the landscape for how the medical community views these children, although some still say it is acceptable

In the study, about 70 percent of the 76 infants who had surgery lived for one year after the procedures. But whether surgery prolongs survival is unclear, said Dr. Katherine Nelson, the Canadian study’s lead author and a palliative care specialist at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children. Most infants in her study who had surgery were at least 3 months old when they had the operations, suggesting they were healthier to begin with.

The study was published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

A separate study from nine states found five-year survival rates of 10 percent to 12 percent for trisomy 13 and 18 children. The highest rates were in those who had aggressive treatment, according to the research,

published in April in the American Journal of Medical Genetics.

Despite the survival of some, an editorial accompanying the Canadian study says it is “ethically justifiable” to withhold aggressive medical treatment and let some infants die while offering aggressive treatment to others. Parents’ values should drive the decisions, said Dr. John Lantos, a medical ethicist at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City who wrote the editorial.

Lantos notes that 30 years ago, new doctors were taught the two conditions were fatal, but “in the social media age, however, everything changed,” he wrote.

Sometimes support groups and imagery of surviving children give other parents false hope. But Lantos said it also empowers parents, “by allowing them to share stories, to compare doc-

tors and to present their physicians with information that challenges medical literature,” he said.

Kara McHenry’s son, Corbin, lived for four months after his birth in 2013. Prenatal tests found trisomy 13; doctors recommended an abortion.

But she found a support group on Facebook showing happy-looking children learning to walk. She also found a hospital that offered treatment, in Pennsylvania, 400 miles from her home near Greenville, North Carolina.

“I couldn’t just give up,” McHenry said, so the family temporarily moved north.

During his short life, Corbin had pneumonia, a heart procedure and surgeries to help him breathe and to treat a bowel infection. The family was able to bring him back to North Carolina, but he was never well enough to go home.

“He was going to be impaired mentally and physically,” McHenry said.

She chose invasive care in hopes that he’d beat the odds, but says she has no regrets.

Jared Hiner is involved with a support group for families whose children have even rarer genetic disorders that include a condition called Wolf-Hirshhorn syndrome. The group’s website provides information about the conditions and a video with inspirational photos and background music.

The Fortville, Indiana, musician said when his daughter Kamdyn was born doctors told him her chances of living past age 2 were bleak.

“They told us she would never talk, never walk, wouldn’t have a personality,” he said.

Kamdyn is 14 now, mentally and physically delayed, but attending school and able to interact with her family. No one talks much about her future, but for the moment, “she’s doing fantastic,” Hiner said.

He said social media sites help give families needed hope, “but I don’t think it’s false hope. I think it’s more realistic hope that: ‘Hey, we can live with this,’ ” even when the future is uncertain.

giant Pfizer Inc. when she did the work with researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital and the genetics testing company 23andMe, Inc. She is now at the University of Pennsylvania. Results were released by the journal Nature Genetics.

An estimated 350 million people worldwide have depression, according to the World Health Organization.

Dr. Patrick Sullivan, an expert in depression genetics at the University of North Carolina in North Carolina, said the findings “look pretty solid.” They provide an important step toward finding all the genes that affect depression, a list he said probably numbers “in the high hundreds.”

“It’s a markedly better step than I believe anybody has taken before,” he said.

He also said the new study’s results cannot be used to test people for their risk of developing depression.

Typically, genes that affect the risk of common diseases such as depression have only a small individual ef-

fect. So to find signs of their location, scientists have to combine results from the genomes of many people.

The new work drew in part on data from more than 121,000 customers of 23andMe who indicated they’d been diagnosed with depression or treated for it, plus more than 338,000 other customers. They had consented to the use of their data for research.

Those results were combined with data from about 9,000 people diagnosed with the disease and 9,500 others, taken from a previous study to find risk genes.

The 15 locations that appear to harbor disease-risk genes were uncovered by a statistical analysis that compares people with depression to those without, looking for slight but suggestive differences at specific spots in their genomes.

Such differences in the DNA code don’t necessarily cause a heightened depression risk themselves, but they indicate the effect is coming from somewhere nearby.

NEW YORK – In a key advance for the study of depression, a comprehensive scan of human DNA has turned up the apparent hiding places of more than a dozen genes linked to the disorder.

“This is a jumping-off point” for further work to reveal the biological underpinnings of depression, which in turn can guide development of new drugs, said Ashley Winslow, an author of a paper on the work.

Experts said the result is important not only for its specific findings, but also for its demonstration the study’s approach can help uncover clues to the biology of depression, which largely is a mystery.

Such DNA scans are popular for finding genes that affect risk of diseases, but depression has proven largely resistant to this approach. In a rare and modest success reported last year, researchers turned up two places in

the human DNA that appear to harbor genes affecting risk in a Han Chinese population.

But no evidence for that result appeared in people of European descent, which is the group studied in the more bountiful results announced Monday.

“What they’re showing is, we’re on the way” to finding many more genetic links, said Dr. Douglas Levinson of Stanford University, who didn’t participate in the work. “They’ve shown that depression is tractable.”

He called the new results the most convincing evidence so far that such gene scans can pay off for depression.

The work by Winslow and others identified 15 areas of the human DNA – the “genome” – that show signs of harboring genetic variations that affect risk of becoming depressed.

That indicates where scientists can focus on identifying and studying the affected genes, which in turn could reveal what processes go awry to raise the risk of the disease.

30 Perimenopause can last several years Dear Dr. K: I am in my early 40s. Over the past several months, my periods have become less regular. Sometimes my flow is lighter than normal; other times it’s heavier. Is this perimenopause?

Dear Reader: It could be, though you’re a bit young. As a woman approaches menopause, periods often become irregular. A woman is said to be in menopause after she has gone for one full year without periods.

The transition into menopause is called perimenopause. This phase begins when a woman notices changes in her cycle, usually in her mid-40s. It ends with menopause.

Perimenopause usually lasts three to five years – but it can take as few as two years or as many as eight years for some women.

A woman’s ovaries produce eggs and the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. These hormones control a woman’s periods and other processes in her body. As a woman approaches menopause, her ovaries make less and less of these hormones.

As hormone levels fall, a woman’s pattern of menstrual bleeding usually becomes irregular. A woman can have irregular periods for several months to years before her periods finally stop. Many women experience light, skipped or late periods during perimenopause. However, there also can be heavier and more prolonged bleeding during perimenopause. This may be caused by progesterone levels that drop faster than estrogen levels.

Another common symptom of perimenopause is hot flashes. A hot flash is a feeling of suddenly being hot, flushed and uncomfortable. Hot flashes come in bursts or flushes that usually last a few seconds to a few minutes. They are caused by changes in the way blood vessels relax and contract, and are thought to be related to the changes in a woman’s estrogen levels. They also might be related to brain hormone levels

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff that act on a woman’s ovaries to affect their production of estrogen.

As estrogen levels fall, the vagina’s natural lubricants also decrease. In some women, this causes vaginal dryness. The lining of the vagina gradually becomes thinner and less able to stretch. These changes can cause sex to be uncomfortable or painful. They also can lead to inflammation in the vagina.

Depression also may occur at a higher rate in perimenopausal women than in premenopausal women. And women with a history of depression are prone to flare-ups during perimenopause. (Though non-hormonal events such as career challenges and children leaving home may affect depression as much or more than hormone changes.) Weight gain also is common around perimenopause.

Some of the symptoms and complications of perimenopause improve with time – particularly the irregular bleeding. Other symptoms persist into menopause, such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness and depression.

We’ve discussed in this space before the belief that menopausal symptoms tend to last no more than five to 10 years might be wrong. In some women, the symptoms may last much longer.

There are some simple blood tests your doctor can perform to determine if you are entering perimenopause. I’d suggest you discuss that possibility with your doctor.

Dear Abby: I’m DEAR ABBY obsessed with having sex. I Jeanne can’t stop. Ever Phillips since I was 8 I’ve been having sex, and now I’m 18. I have a boyfriend I’ve been dating since I was 8, and we can’t stop having sex.

I want to stop, but he doesn’t want to. I keep on doing it because he says if I don’t he’ll leave me.

Please help. What do I do? – Obsessed In Miami Dear Obsessed: There are worse things than losing a boyfriend who threatens to dump you if you don’t have sex with him. Chief among them is having sex with someone because you have been coerced. Because you feel you are “obsessed,” you might have a sex addiction.

Licensed psychotherapists treat people with sexual compulsive disorders, and self-help groups help individuals suffering because they can’t control their sexual behavior. A 12-step program that has been mentioned before in my column is Sexaholics Anonymous, which originated in 1979 and is based on the same principles as Alcoholics Anonymous. Its website is www.sa.org. Visit it to find a local meeting.

Dear Abby: Within the last year, I met an amazing man who is head over heels for me. We were married five months later, partly because he was deploying. I had always dated “bad” boys with commitment issues, but now I have a wonderful husband.

I’m now having to put the career I worked very hard for on hold. I love him very much, don’t get me wrong, but all the drastic changes have me feeling confused and scared. I feel we might have rushed into marriage too soon. Any insight? – Newlywed In Utah Dear Newlywed: To be honest, most people feel a degree of fear and confusion when they find themselves in unfamiliar territory. On the plus side, you have married a winner after dating a series of turkeys.

Because your husband is deployed, you now have a chance to start evaluating various ways to apply your talents and experience with an eye toward restarting your career or finding a new one. If your husband intends to make a career of the military, research jobs you can do regardless of where he may be posted.

Dear Abby: My husband has relationships with two of his exes’ daughters. One girl’s mother is deceased, and he has been divorced from the other for more than 20 years. He allows them to call him “Dad” even though they are adults and he has been married three times.

I don’t understand why he has allowed this to go on, but he blows me off when I bring it up.

Am I being petty? – Concerned Spouse Dear Concerned: Yes, you are being petty.

Your husband might have been the most stable and loving parental male figure in those women’s lives, which is why they call him “Dad.” Their relationship should not diminish the one he has with you, unless you make them feel unwelcome because of your insecurity. Put on a smile, set out the welcome mat and befriend them, and I predict you will reap big dividends.

Jacobs’ Krutwig: Loyola ‘the place I want to be’

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com As the offers piled up for Jacobs senior Cameron Krutwig, the 6-foot-9 senior center never forgot about Loyola University.

Lasike gives Bears rugby tenacity at FB

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com BOURBONNAIS – The player trying to bring the fullback position back to Chicago didn’t know anything about football until five years ago. To him, football was referred to as “gridiron.”

Paul Lasike grew up in New Zealand with aspirations of being a professional rugby player. Then, as he explains, his path changed, and now he’s in line to be the Bears’ fullback in 2016.

“We called it gridiron in New Zealand. I came over (to BYU) and I didn’t even go to a football game my first year while playing rugby,” he said. “It wasn’t interesting until I got to Alabama.”

Lasike discovered football after his freshman year during a Mormon mission to Alabama, where football obviously is king. He returned to BYU and joined the football team, where he played three seasons for the Cougars.

He rushed for seven touchdowns and caught two other scores as a senior.

As an undrafted rookie, Lasike spent last preseason with the Cardinals before joining the Bears’ practice squad for the 2015 campaign. He hasn’t played in a game yet, but he did bring his parents to Chicago from New Zealand to experience a game.

“They’re really proud of me,” he said. “They have no idea what’s going on. They went to the game for the experience. They didn’t care about the

game. They didn’t know what was going on.”

In rugby, Lasike played the inside center position, the player with the No. 12 jersey.

“You’re in the back line. It’s similar to what a fullback and running back does,” he explained. “You’ve got to be agile with the ball in hand.”

Now, Lasike wears No. 47. He’s about 30 to 40 pounds heavier than he was as a rugby player – which is why, he explained, it’d be hard for him to transition back to playing like Patriots safety Nate Ebner, who is a member of the USA rugby sevens team for the Olympics.

While Ebner is getting ready for Rio, Lasike is focused on his new path.

New Bears offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains told Lasike to expect more “21 personnel” this season – two backs, one tight end. When the Bears’ starters have been in “21” during camp, Lasike has been in the backfield.

Lasike admitted he hasn’t always loved football, but it’s grown on him.

There’s an irony to Lasike playing a position that many teams have phased out – as long as Lasike has known about the sport of football, fullbacks have been on the outs.

“Twenty out of the 32 teams actually use a fullback,” he said. “I didn’t know (about the history of fullbacks), but I know that you’ve just got to go out there and create push and a hole for the tailback. Seems like an easy enough job for me.”

Bears fullback Paul Lasike adjusts his helmet during the first rookie minicamp session May 13 in Lake Forest. Lasike grew up in New Zealand with aspirations of being a professional rugby player and didn’t know anything about football until five years ago.

DETROIT – An offensive lineman who played in the 1950s, Dick Stanfel didn’t have a lot of stats floating around to help his Hall of Fame case.

What he had was people such as Marv Levy, who were willing to stand up on his behalf.

“I realize he played so long ago that a lot of the people that are voting now don’t even re- Dick Stanfel member the time, but this guy is so deserving,” said Levy, the Hall of Fame former coach of the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs.

“I remember going back to Hall of Fame meetings where guys like Gino Marchetti and Artie Donovan would tell me he was the best offensive lineman that ever played.”

Almost six decades after the end of his playing career, Stanfel is being enshrined posthumously into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this week. In a class of inductees headlined by more recent luminaries Brett Favre and Tony Dungy, Stanfel offers a history lesson – a chance for fans to learn about and appreciate one of the game’s standouts from the pre-Super Bowl era.

Stanfel played seven seasons with Detroit and Washington, leading the Lions to NFL championships in 1952 and 1953. He earned All-Pro honors five times in his relatively short playing career.

“You hate to use the word technician, but he was,” Hall of Famer Mike Ditka said. “Dick was a [heck] of a football player.”

Stanfel eventually worked for Ditka, serving on his staff with the Bears and New Orleans Saints as part of a coaching career that spanned 40 years.

Stanfel died last year at age 87. He had come close to making the hall in 1993 and 2012, falling short as a finalist.

Stanfel was selected as a finalist again last August by the seniors committee, a couple of months after his death. He was voted in, in February and will be enshrined Saturday in Canton, Ohio, with the rest of his class.

His son, Rich Stanfel, said the family has been “ecstatic” that Dick finally made it in.

“We’re really happy to be a part of this,” he said. “It’s been pretty much an amazing ride for us right now.”

After being drafted by the Lions in 1951, Stanfel missed that season with a knee injury. He recovered from that setback and played the next four years with Detroit.

After three seasons with Washington, he ended his playing career at age 31; Redskins coach Joe Kuharich left to go to Notre Dame, and Stanfel went with him as an assistant coach.

That type of move would be unusual nowadays – and the early retirement might have hurt Stanfel’s Hall of Fame chances – but Rich Stanfel said the financial ramifications of going from playing to coaching were different then.

By the mid-1980s, Stanfel was with the Bears, coaching their offensive line. He was part of Ditka’s staff in 1985 when the Bears dominated the league en route to a Super Bowl title.

“He was the most consummate line coach I’ve ever been around,” Ditka said. “He was a great teacher, and he related to the guys.”

4 TIGERS 11, WHITE SOX 5

Tilson latest to be injured in debut

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

DETROIT – Not again!

When center fielder Charlie Tilson went down in a heap on the outfield grass with a strained left hamstring and a possible left knee injury in the White Sox’s 11-5 loss to the Tigers on Tuesday, he became the third White Sox to leave the game during or before his major league debut this season. Another, catcher Kevan Smith, wrenched his back during pregame warmups and never got on the field.

Mothers, don’t let your sons grow up to be Sox rookies. You can’t make this stuff up.

Tilson, a Triple-A minor leaguer from New Trier High School acquired in a trade with the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday for veteran left-hander Zach Duke, appeared at first glance to extend his left knee and turn his left ankle running to the gap in deep right center in pursuit of Miguel Cabrera’s double during the Tigers’ six-run fifth inning against James Shields. On a previous play, Tilson had held up momentarily chasing Andrew Romine’s drive over his head, the ball landing for a triple. On the play in which he was hurt, he went hard all the way but got twisted up in pursuit.

“You feel for the kid,” manager Robin Ventura said. “It’s crazy we’ve had four guys making their debut and get taken off the field.”

White Sox center fielder Charlie Tilson is helped off the field by trainer Herm Schneider (left) and manager Robin Ventura during the fifth inning against the Tigers on Tuesday in Detroit.

Tilson was helped off the field by Ventura and trainer Herm Schneider, who had to scratch Smith before a game in Toronto in April, saw left fielder Jason Coats cut his lip and was dazed colliding with center fielder J.B. Shuck on June 4 in Detroit and Matt Davidson fracture his right foot running the bases against the Twins on June 30 at U.S. Cellular Field.

Tilson singled in his first at-bat against Anibal Sanchez and grounded into a fielder’s choice his second time up.

With his family cheering in the stands behind the Sox dugout on the first-base side, Tilson was handed the ball from Cabrera, the Tigers first baseman.

Before the game he talked about the thrill of being traded to the Sox, his childhood favorite team, and then getting called up to make his debut Tuesday. He had spent this season in Triple-A. “It took me a little while to catch my breath,” Tilson said, summarizing the chain of events leading up to his major league debut.

Tilson made two calls home to his parents, who with his four siblings and friends were at Comerica Park. The second was to say he was going to the majors, and to avoid waking his roommate he said he made a call from the bathroom and asked his dad to turn on his speaker phone so all could hear.

“My voice was shaking,” he said.

“It was unbelievable, something you think about your entire life and to be able to come back home and play for the team I rooted for growing up, I feel so fortunate. And I just want to get after it, I want to make a difference, I want to make an impact for this club.”

All of this had the makings of a happy story on what has been a sad season for the Sox, but a few hours later, Tilson was in the trainer’s room.

“We’ll know in the morning,” Ventura said.

“He complained a little bit about his hamstring, might be a knee.

“It’s a little out there to think it’s happened that many times. Good kids, they’re all just playing hard.”

SOX NOTES

Ex-Oriole Gonzalez eager to face former team

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

DETROIT – Miguel Gonzalez’s next start will be Friday at U.S. Cellular Field.

“I understand we’re going to be facing the Orioles,” Gonzalez said Tuesday. “I’m pretty excited about that.”

Ah, the Orioles. The team that let Gonzalez go even though the 32-yearold right-hander had been a mainstay in their starting rotation since he made his debut with them in 2012. What’s more, Gonzalez was well-liked and respected in the Orioles’ clubhouse, so his departure didn’t go over all that well at the time.

Shoulder and elbow problems plagued him in 2015, though, and when his velocity didn’t return during the spring, the Orioles placed him on re-

lease waivers, and their loss turned into a gain for the Sox. The Sox signed Gonzalez to a minor league deal before Opening Day, his arm strength came back, and the Sox had themselves a veteran who would round back into form and, in July, would pitch six innings or more in all six starts and post a 2.50 ERA (with a 1-2 Miguel record).

Gonzalez “Now I’m healthy,” Gonzalez said. “If you’re healthy you have a chance.”

Gonzalez is arbitration eligible for one more season before reaching free agency, and he could be back with the Sox in 2017. He would like to.

“Definitely,” he said. “Great group

of guys around here.”

As for the Orioles, there are no hard feelings, but the competitor in him will be amped up Friday.

“That was the team that gave me my first opportunity,” he said. “I have a lot of friends over there. It will be interesting.

“I understand they wanted to give young guys an opportunity. I understand what they were trying to do.”

Gonzalez is 41-38 with a 3.85 ERA in five seasons, including ERAs of 3.25, 3.78 and 3.23 his first three before dropping to 4.91 through arm issues last season. He’s 2-5 with a 4.06 ERA in 2016.

Eaton right: Right fielder Adam Eaton leads major league outfielders in assists with 16, four more than the Pirates’ Starling Marte going into Tuesday’s games.

That puts Eaton on pace for 25 as-

sists, which would tie for the fifth-highest total by an outfielder in Sox history and the most since Bibb Falk with 26 in 1924.

Eaton bounced back from offseason shoulder surgery and worked his way back slowly but doggedly during spring training.

“It hurt so bad (last season),” Eaton said. “I had no muscle, I had nothing.

My entire nerve was cut off from everything. I had no feel, no touch, no strength. Basically my arm was, I don’t know … it was mush.”

Lawrie slow to recover: Brett Lawrie would be eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list Sunday but still isn’t close to a minor league rehab stint even though his right hamstring “feels better.”

“I don’t see him getting close just yet,” Ventura said.

After fielding a sharp comebacker, Strop’s attempt to start a double play went array when his throw split second baseman Ben Zobrist and shortstop Addison Russell and ended up in center field.

Maddon excited to have Smith’s ‘funk’ in bullpen

By JEFF ARNOLD

For The Sun-Times

CHICAGO – Even before new Cubs relief pitcher Joe Smith arrived Tuesday at Wrigley Field, he was well aware he was joining a crowded bullpen.

Smith was obtained from the Angels just before Monday’s 3 p.m. trade deadline for minor league pitcher Jesus Castillo. Smith adds what manager Joe Maddon describes as “funk” to his corps of Joe Smith relievers.

Exactly how Smith and his side-arm repertoire of sinkers and sliders fits into the Cubs’ strategy doesn’t matter much to the 32-year-old right-hander.

“Whenever they call my name, I’m just here to pitch and help the team win,” Smith said before Tuesday’s game against the Miami Marlins. “It doesn’t matter to me when I pitch.”

Smith has been used primarily as a

set-up man and closer during 10 major league seasons with the Mets, Indians and Angels. This season, Smith has a 1-4 record with six holds, six saves and a 3.82 ERA in 38 relief appearances.

To make room for Smith, the Cubs optioned Spencer Patton to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.

Maddon said because of the Cubs’

bullpen depth, Smith likely will be used earlier in games with Pedro Strop, Hector Rondon and Aroldis Chapman in line to finish games.

Maddon spoke with Smith on Tuesday about the changes that await him, whether it be with a new ballpark, a new league and a new role.

“They need to know (how they will be used) because these guys are routine freaks,” Maddon said.

Given all the pieces the Cubs’ bullpen already has, Smith just wants to contribute any way possible. When told of Maddon’s affinity for his “funk” Tuesday, Smith smiled, saying he appreciated his new manager’s characterization of his side-arm style.

“It’s better than some of the ways I’ve heard (it described),” Smith said.

“So I’ll take that one.”

Smith called being traded at the deadline a whirlwind. After the deal was completed, Smith boarded an afternoon flight with his wife and dog so he could arrive in time for Tuesday’s game.

The move also brings Smith closer to his family in Ohio and specifically his mother, Lee, who was diagnosed with Huntington’s disease, a genetic disorder for which there is no cure and that afflicts 30,000 people in the United States.

Playing in Chicago rather than on the West Coast eliminates a large share of the travel for Smith’s mother. Smith also has relatives in St. Charles and Geneva, adding to the convenience of getting his family to games until the Cubs travel to Cincinnati in September. “(A) five-hour drive is better than a five-hour flight,” Smith said of his family’s travel plans.

Smith said after learning he had been traded, he called his mother first to make her aware of his change of proximity.

He said the phone call made for an interesting conversation.

“She was excited about 10 seconds and then she went on to a different topic,” Smith said. “But that’s just how my mom is.”

CHICAGO – You go. We go.

The four words seem so simplistic and yet, when it comes to the manner in which Cubs manager Joe Maddon describes the vital importance of leadoff hitter Dexter Fowler’s role, the same collection of nine letters becomes so much more meaningful.

You go. We go.

Each time Fowler went Tuesday night against the Marlins, the Cubs followed his lead. From his leadoff triple in the first inning of the Cubs’ 3-2 victory at Wrigley Field to his subsequent singles in his next two at-bats, Fowler was Maddon’s offensive pace-setter as the Cubs won for the sixth time in their past seven games.

And on a night when Marlins starter Jose Fernandez limited the remainder of the Cubs’ lineup beyond Fowler and twohole hitter Willson Contreras to only three hits, Fowler lived up to Maddon’s season-long expectation.

You go. We go.

Fowler scored the Cubs’ first two runs and drove in their third with a fifth-inning RBI single that provided enough run support for starter Jason Hammel (11-5), who threw six scoreless innings and allowed only four hits.

The Marlins got to within 3-2 in the

6 COLLEGE FOOTBALL: BIG TEN TRAINING CAMPS

QB battles abound, but not at Ohio St. studs. New left tackle Jamarco Jones is a monster. The battles at the other two spots are raging – in this case, a good thing.

Michigan’s offensive line play still needs to get a lot better. With a wellspent August, it’ll do just that. Mason Cole is in a new spot at center, but he’s a huge talent; no one is worrying about him in Ann Arbor. Erik Magnuson, Ben Braden and Kyle Kalis are experienced and, Harbaugh hopes, ready to come together. Michigan could win the Big Ten if they do.

Let’s turn it down a notch and spend a moment on Illinois’ defensive line. It was going to be pretty good no matter who coached it, but the pairing of Lovie Smith and defensive line coach Mike Phair should enable the front wall to blossom into the Illini’s greatest strength. Pass rusher Dawuane Smoot is the team’s best player, but tackles Rob Bain and Chunky Clement are thriving.

ANALYSIS Steve Greenberg Connor Cook won a school-record 34 games, one of them a Rose Bowl, as a starting quarterback at Michigan State.

Joel Stave won a Wisconsin-record 31 games. Christian Hackenberg broke almost every passing record at Penn State, while Nate Sudfeld did likewise at Indiana. And although Jake Rudock played only one year at Michigan, his time as a Big Ten starter – including two full seasons at Iowa – was extensive.

In all, those five players started 182 games in the Big Ten. Each is giving it a go in the NFL now, making quarterback competitions one of the central themes as the league’s teams open their training camps this week.

“We’re going to keep the pressure on our quarterback position. I think that’s the thing to do,” Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said.

The Spartans, who were a sparkling 34-5 with Cook at the helm of the offense, have an official front-runner in fifth-year senior Tyler O’Connor. That doesn’t mean a whole lot at the start of August, however. Junior Damion Terry is still in it.

Meanwhile, if Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh knows who’ll be stepping into Rudock’s shoes, he’s a heck of an actor. Heading into spring ball, the reputed favorite to land the job was John O’Korn, a former standout at Houston. Yet Wilton Speight stole much of O’Korn’s thunder during spring ball. Shane Morris also has a foot – or maybe a toe – in the door.

Sophomore Trace McSorley has a leg up at Penn State. Richard Lagow appears to be in good shape at Indiana. Wisconsin fifth-year senior Bart Houston has redshirt freshman Alex Hornibrook to contend with.

Take your pick – Badgers coach Paul Chryst is far from having this one figured out.

“I think our job as coaches is to make sure both of them are ready to play, and play well in the first game,” Chryst said.

Yet only one of them can take that first snap. It’s a big month.

America has more starters to replace – 16 – than Ohio State. There will be position battles galore throughout Buckeyes camp.

“Where we are as a team in 2016,” coach Urban Meyer said, “is we have to find a way to replace arguably one of the best groups of players ever to come through college football.”

Geez, is that all?

Who’ll be the designated game-breaker at H-back, Dontre Wilson or Curtis Samuel? Is it Chris Worley or Jerome Baker at the linebacker spot where Darron Lee shined? How best to plug all the holes along the offensive and defensive

lines? Are there enough guys on the team to field a full secondary?

Of course there are – the Buckeyes always overflow with talent. Still, there’s much work to be done.

LINES TO GAIN

Three units capable of reaching another level with a good training camp: Ohio State’s offensive line was supposed to the best in college football last season, but it underperformed. Minus three of those starters, the Buckeyes’ wall of beef has a chance to be better overall. Pat Elflein and Billy Price are proven

You know what’s going to be fun? Finding out which local star is better, Smoot or Northwestern inside linebacker Anthony Walker.

If you didn’t know their names before now, please set your Bears obsession aside for one little minute.

Each guy has a shot to be first-team all-conference. For that matter, each guy has been projected as a potential NFL first-round draft pick.

Emphasis on “potential,” but Smoot and Walker – or, if you prefer, Walker and Smoot – are tremendous.

With good health, they’ll set the bars for their teammates from the first day of camp to the last.

Walker’s coach, Pat Fitzgerald, is a former two-time national defensive player of the year at Northwestern.

Fitzgerald believes Walker can be an even better middle linebacker.

“Let’s not even insult Anthony’s athleticism by comparing him to me,” Fitzgerald said.

Walker’s goal: to win the Butkus Award, given to the nation’s top linebacker.

Smoot’s? No big deal – merely to break the Illini record of 16 sacks in a season set by Simeon Rice in 1994 and tied by Whitney Mercilus in 2011.

Both Rice and Mercilus became firstround draft picks.

“I’m setting the bar pretty high,” Smoot said.

And why not? That’s why the football gods invented August.

He was able to meet many of the players who will be there when he arrives in the fall of 2017.

“I wanted to be closer to home because my family can catch games,” Krutwig said. “People that know me my whole life can come up and catch a game, and the Missouri Valley is a really good conference. It’s more about fit than it is going to the highest level you can play.”

Roberts wasn’t surprised by Krutwig’s decision based on the relationship he had built with Loyola’s coaching staff.

“He liked Loyola from Day 1,” Roberts said. “There’s other schools that offer early, then kind of disappeared for a while, and then come in again.

But Coach Moser just did a great job of being with him the whole way and being patient and building the relationship. Ultimately, that’s what Cam is. He’s a big relationship guy, and I really think that’s what did it for him in the end.”

Krutwig averaged 17.7 points, 12.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.6 blocks, shooting 65 percent from the field last

CLEVELAND – LeBron James often has avoided talking about trying to match Michael Jordan’s accomplishments. Now he’s chasing “the ghost” of arguably the greatest player in NBA history.

Fresh off leading the Cavaliers to an NBA championship and bringing Cleveland its first title since 1964, James, in a story posted online by Sports Michael Jordan Illustrated, recently told young players at a camp in Los Angeles that his motivation “is this ghost I’m chasing. The ghost played in Chicago.”

The ghost, of course, is Jordan, who led the Bulls to six titles. James has admired Jordan since he was a kid and re-

veres him to this day. James typically has sidestepped questions about being in Jordan’s elite company, and the 31-year-old tells SI he’s hoping to build on his sterling résumé.

“My career is totally different than Michael Jordan’s,” James told SI’s Lee Jenkins. “What I’ve gone through is totally different than what he went through.

What he did was unbelievable, and I watched it unfold. I looked up to him so much. I think it’s cool to put myself in position to be one of those great players, but if I can ever put myself in position to be the greatest player, that would be something extraordinary.”

Although James is only halfway to matching Jordan’s number of titles, ending Cleveland’s drought in historic fashion – the Cavs overcame a 3-1 deficit to beat Golden State – always will separate him from other players.

season as the Eagles repeated as Fox Valley Conference Valley champions and won its second Class 4A regional title in three seasons.

“They’re getting a kid who is at a very, very high level right now, maybe more so than some other kids that are going into college at his age,” Roberts said. “As his body changes and he physically continues to develop, he’s just going to get that much better.

“He’s so intelligent, knows the game so well ... and a rarity for someone his size is that he’s a gym rat. Usually the guards are the gym rats and always want to be playing. A lot of bigs just play because they’re supposed to, but that’s not Cam.” Krutwig, who led all scorers with 26 points and 14 rebounds in a sectional semifinal loss to Rockford Auburn last season, said the Golden Eagles have even bigger expectations in his final year.

“What I’m looking forward to most is being with my friends and playing with them one last year, and doing big things,” Krutwig said. “I want to make it down to state, obviously. ... I think that’s the goal for all of us. We’ve got really good chemistry, and really good bonds between us, so I think it’s going to be a very big year for us.”

8 RIO OLYMPICS: WOMEN’S SOCCER

Revamped U.S. team faces test in Brazil On TV Wednesday

By TALES AZZONI

The Associated Press BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil – A new era opens for the U.S. women’s soccer team at the Olympic Games when a generation of younger players seeks to continue the global domination established at last year’s World Cup. Bidding to add Olympic gold to World Cup success, the U.S. will have 11 Olympic newcomers on its roster when it opens against New Zealand on Wednesday at the Mineirao Stadium.

It will be the team’s first major competition since the retirement of players such as Abby Wambach and Lauren Holiday after last year’s triumph in Canada.

“Of course we had some gigantic losses, some players that have been around the game for quite some time, and they are irreplaceable, really,” veteran goalkeeper Hope Solo said.

U.S. forward Christen Press (second from right) is congratulated by Crystal Dunn (from left), Kelley O’Hara and Allie Long after scoring against Costa Rica in an international friendly July 22 in Kansas City, Kan. “But we have something different, and I don’t think anybody has seen the U.S. team as we are right now. Nobody knows

what to expect, with our younger players, with our new talent, with our formation. So I think it’s going to be exciting.”

Seeking a fourth straight Olympic gold, the Americans are also without Christine Rampone because of injury, while Sydney Leroux and Amy Rodriguez are pregnant. Two other key players, captain Carli Lloyd and midfielder Megan Rapinoe are coming to Brazil recovering from health problems. Rapinoe is not expected to play in the early games.

“There’s been a little bit of a change in the roster, but it’s good,” Lloyd said. “I think we have about 11 players who are competing in their first Olympics, which is a huge turnaround, but I also think that those players bring experience, they’ve been around this team, they’ve earned quite a few a

caps with the team and are doing very well. So I think that, mixed in with us old folks, we will be all right.”

Among the Olympic newcomers are a few players who also made it to the World Cup last year, including Meghan Klingenberg, Ali Krieger, Morgan Brian and Whitney Engen.

The youngest player in the current roster is 18-year-old Mallory Pugh. The U.S. is trying to become the first team to win the Olympics after succeeding at the World Cup. Lloyd, the team’s captain in Rio, said the U.S. remains favored to win the title despite the revamped team.

“I think the toughest (opponents) are going to be ourselves,” said Lloyd, who scored a hat trick in the World Cup final against Japan. “No other team should intimidate our team. Of course, there are going to be tough contenders, but honestly, not a single team intimidates me.”

RIO OLYMPICS

IOC rejects ‘nuclear option,’ bashes anti-doping agency

By STEPHEN WILSON The Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO – IOC President Thomas Bach lashed out Tuesday against those calling for the “nuclear option’” – a complete ban on Russian athletes from the Rio de Janeiro Games – as he and other members blamed global anti-doping officials for a scandal that has rattled the Olympic movement.

Bach opened the International Olympic Committee’s three-day general assembly by seeking formal backing of the members for the executive board’s handling of the Russian doping scandal. After a debate lasting more than two hours, Bach asked for a show of hands, and only one of the 85 members – Britain’s Adam Pengilly – voted against his position.

Despite evidence of a state-run doping program in Russia, the IOC board rejected calls for a total ban and left it to international sports federations to decide on the entry of individual Russian athletes for the games, which open Friday.

Bach again blamed the World Anti-Doping Agency for failing to act sooner on evidence of state-backed doping in Russia and releasing its findings so close to the start of the games. He said it would be wrong to make individual Russian athletes “collateral damage” for the wrongdoing of their government.

“Leaving aside that such a comparison is completely out of any proportion when it comes to the rules of sport, let us just for a moment consider the consequences of a ‘nuclear option,’ ” Bach said. “The result is death and devastation. This is not what the Olympic Movement stands for. The cynical ‘collateral damage’ approach is not what the Olympic movement stands for.”

“What is therefore not acceptable is the insinuation by some proponents of this ‘nuclear option’ that anyone who does not share their opinion is not fighting against doping,” he added.

The IOC has been roundly criticized by many anti-doping bodies, athletes’ groups and Western media for not applying a complete ban on the Russian team.

ON THE COVER

Tender Green Salad With Strawberries, Cucumber, Pistachio and Basil Washington Post photo

The future of produce is ugly. Twisted, blemished, mutated and deformed, to be specific.

That’s because an increasing number of grocery chains and crop-sharing services have begun stocking and distributing fruits and vegetables once deemed unfit for sale based solely on appearance.

To be clear, these goods aren’t damaged or rotten or distasteful. If a chef chopped them up and served them in a soufflé, most would never know the difference.

Their banishment from shelves was purely produce prejudice.

In recent years, a small number of eco-conscious consumers have begun buying imperfect produce, often at discounted prices, in an effort to chip away at the planet’s staggering level of food waste. Now, the buy-ugly movement has been thrust into the mainstream.

Walmart, the nation’s largest grocer with more than 4,000 produce-selling stores, announced last week it would sell less-than-pretty apples in 300 stores across Florida. This builds on an ugly-potato program the retail behemoth launched in Britain earlier this year.

By virtue of its size, when Walmart makes a change, the broader retail sector notices. The company commands a massive and global supply chain and possesses tremendous purchasing power, a combination that allows it to disrupt traditional distribution channels and create demand for products where there once was none. And food is big business for Walmart. Groceries accounted for 56 percent of all sales in the company’s U.S. stores each of the past three years, according to Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

Walmart’s program “is a result of working with our suppliers to build the infrastructure and processes that create a new home for perfectly imperfect produce,” Shawn Baldwin, Walmart’s senior vice president for global food sourcing, produce and floral, wrote on the company’s blog. “Because ugly produce can occur unexpectedly in any growing season or crop, we want to have the systems in place to offer this type of produce whenever it may occur.”

Walmart is hardly alone in its embrace of ugly fruits and vegetables.

Whole Foods has sold similar goods in the past, but it does not have the mass market reach of Walmart. And getting

U.S. consumers to buy flawed produce has not been easy. Shoppers, particularly Americans, have long fixated on food with visual appeal in addition to (or instead of) nutritional value. There’s a reason the food that appears in television and magazine advertisements look like modern still-life paintings, meticulously crafted by professional stagers to the point of defying reality.

European shoppers, by contrast, have been pioneers in food conservation and buying ugly. Britain has conducted a “Love Food Hate Waste” campaign since at least 2007, and the European Union has pledged to cut its food waste in half over the next decade. Winning acceptance for ugly produce is just one tactic being pursued in Europe to meet that goal. Others see a moneymaking opportunity; a grocery store in Denmark called WeFood sells only discounted food that is either misshapen or past its stated expiration date.

Our vanity contributes to America’s waste epidemic. No matter how you slice it, the United States throws away tons of edible food every year. The Natural Resources Defense Council estimates 40 percent of food grown and produced in the United States each year goes uneaten.

By PATI JINICH

The Washington Post So, you run into a salad story written by a Mexican – me – and expect to see a taco salad? Not likely to happen.

There are no taco salads in Mexican kitchens. At least I have never, ever seen or heard of a taco salad either in Mexico or served in a Mexican’s home, wherever that may be in the world. I could attest to the same thing for the entire universe if it weren’t for the fact I haven’t left this Earth.

To be blunt, I do hope for a world without taco salads – and the cold and soggy taco shells of their aftermath.

Would you care for a burger-and-french fries salad with ketchup and mustard squeezed on top of dressed greens? Not I, although I would devour a bacon cheeseburger with fries any day, hot off the pan, with or without a plate.

There are fabulous tacos of all different sorts for every mood and every occasion, and there are salads, just as extraordinary and with just as many options. Mexican kitchens are a brimming source for both. Sadly, not many people are aware of the latter.

Maybe that’s because in Mexico, “ensaladas” are likely to be served more often at home than in restaurants. Typically, they’re not even referred to as salads; their names or titles tend to be based on a main ingredient – often with endearment (a sign of how much we love them), followed by the way it is cooked. A chayote squash salad with a vinaigrette might be called “chayotitos en vinagre,” while a green bean salad with tarragon dressing could be “ejotitos al estragon.”

Come to think of it, the term ensalada has been used in Mexico for any salad with some kind of lettuce, although that has started to change in the past decade or so. Nonetheless, the main point here is tacos are tacos; salads, whatever we call them in Spanish, are salads.

The taco salad must have been a fun and welcome addition to American menus when it made its first appearance in the 1960s. According to “Taco USA” author Gustavo Arellano’s authoritative research, it was the man behind Doritos, Elmer Doolin, who had the idea of making a Doritos bowl with what, in that era, was considered the contents of a taco: ground meat, sour cream and cheddar cheese. Some undressed pieces of tomato and shredded lettuce might have shown up soon after.

As a very early Tex-Mex creation, it has its place in history. But luckily, we have come so much further than that hard-shell version of a taco and a salad mixed together.

Here’s what I can say about Mexican salads: They often are unique, with an exotic element in them, with playful textures and multiple layers of flavor in the vinaigrettes or dressings. Those vinaigrettes or dressings tend to be so full of sazón – which can be loosely defined as having the knack for matching and mixing ingredients and flavors – they could be eaten on their own.

Mexican salads also are surprising. You are likely to see Mexican ingredients you might expect, paired with ingredients you wouldn’t necessarily think of as belonging to Mexican cuisine.

In the accompanying recipes, you’ll find crisp chayote squash paired with tart Granny Smith apple and wet jicama sticks enveloped in a rich,

velvety avocado dressing with a pepita (pumpkin seed) base and laced with dill. You’ll find cucumber, radish and jumbo lump crabmeat in a creamy dressing packed with mint, basil and jalapeño.

Mexican salads are so eye-opening they really help take “Mexicanness” out of the box that seems to equate Mexican food only with tacos. They also prove the point that tacos are exquisite and can shine on their own – just like our ensaladas.

Make a salad you won’t be able to stop thinking about

By ELLIE KRIEGER

Tender Green Salad With Strawberries, Cucumber, Pistachio and Basil

The Washington Post Last spring, I had a salad at the restaurant NoMad in New York I couldn’t stop thinking about. It was a light and lovely arrangement of strawberries, cucumber, basil and toasted nuts. Nothing on the plate was pickled or marinated. The salad wasn’t aggressively seasoned or complicated in any way. Yet it was absolutely enchanting.

Something so simple and so thrilling: That has been my “deep thought” as I worked through how to translate the salad to my home kitchen.

The secret, I have come to realize, is threefold: the quality of the ingredients, the way they innately complement and elevate one another, and how they are presented on the plate. The ingredient that drives this salad is the very best strawberries: the ones we wait for all year, plump with juice, deeply ruby-colored, and whose perfume greets you from across the room. Thin slices of English cucumber offer a cool, crisp contrast, and basil leaves provide a soft, fragrant accent.

Together, the trio conjures the feeling of a spring garden; a sprinkle of toasted pistachios adds a buttery crunch and richness.

The salad I was served at the

restaurant was artfully and no doubt painstakingly arranged, most likely with chefs’-tweezers precision. For my composed but fuss-free home-style version, no special tools are needed.

Just scatter several strawberry pieces and cucumber slices over a small pile of tender lettuce leaves that have been dressed in a honey-sweetened white wine vinaigrette. Drizzle more dressing over that, then finish with the pistachios and basil. The result is a spring salad that is as simple as it is delightful.

Fattoush meets Greek, and the mash-up’s cool

By ELLIE KRIEGER

The Washington Post This big, beautiful bowl of goodness is a mash-up of two traditional Mediterranean salads. It gets its primary flavors from a Greek salad, with feta, scallion, dried oregano and plenty of cucumber and tomato in a lemon-olive oil dressing. And it owes its hearty crunch to a Middle Eastern fattoush, a salad that originated as a way to use up day-old pita and involves tossing shards of the toasted flatbread with dressed crisp greens, vegetables and herbs.

One of the delightful things about the accompanying recipe is there is a lot of play in terms of ingredients, so feel free to add or substitute whatever inspires you at the market or is begging to be picked from your garden.

Instead of the dried oregano, you could use fresh dill or mint, for example.

Substitute red onion for the scallions, or use another variety of lettuce instead of romaine. Bell peppers and/ or radishes also would be a welcome addition.

For the pita, you could use rounds of the bread, day-old or not, brushed with oil, toasted in a 375-degree oven until crisp and broken into pieces. But in the interest of keeping the kitchen cool, I chose to use store-bought pita chips here. When they’re tossed with the salad, the dressing makes them soften just a bit while still retaining some crunch.

On its own, this salad makes for a satisfying lunch or light dinner. It’s also nice as part of a mezze spread, with hummus, roasted vegetables, olives and stuffed grape leaves. Either way, it is a tasty and healthful way

Make the salad everybody wants to eat

By LAVANYA RAMANATHAN The Washington Post

There was a time when the word “salad” referred to little more than a pile of iceberg lettuce. It was ornamentation, sometimes doused in a sickly sweet, carrot-colored dressing described, inexplicably, as “French.”

No one then may have actually wanted to eat a salad. It was punishment, a self-flagellation for all the truly delicious things we had been eating, for the jiggle we were slowly accruing. If you threw in a couple of cherry tomatoes and a few croutons so stale they resembled moon rocks, you could tote one of those travesties to a summer potluck, and people practically would thank you for bringing something healthful.

Then, something happened. A trend that traces right back to the produce aisles and to the boom in farmers markets, places where vegetables such as sweet potatoes, mache, turnip greens and ramps have turned up anew.

We have more ingredients within our reach. We also have more notions about how we might prepare them: Should we grill or spiralize? Go raw or serve our vegetables slightly warm?

Complexity is in. And a modern sal-

Marinated Corn, Tomato and Halloumi Salad 4 to 6 servings

For the salad 2 small sweet chili peppers in various colors, seeded and thinly sliced 1/2 poblano pepper, seeded and cut into thin, bite-size pieces 1/2 pint (3/4 cup) cherry tomatoes, each cut in half Kernels from 2 ears sweet corn 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper One 6-ounce piece halloumi cheese, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices 1 head butter lettuce or Bibb lettuce, washed, dried and cut or torn into large pieces 4 cups packed arugula, washed and dried Flesh of 1 large, firm avocado, cut into bitesize chunks 1 cup cooked, cooled quinoa 1 cup cooked, cooled wheat berries For the dressing 1 large clove garlic, minced 1/4 cup sherry vinegar 1 to 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes 1 teaspoon smoked salt 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil For the salad: Combine the sweet chili peppers, poblano pepper, tomatoes, corn,

ad can require as much thinking – and, occasionally, cooking – as an elaborate main course. If your salad-making skills haven’t quite kept pace, one could hardly blame you.

“When you have all these ingredients, that’s the hard part,” said Michael Stebner, culinary director for the salad chain Sweetgreen, which dishes up bowls with as many as eight components, some of them as labor-intensive as spicy, blackened broccoli or baked falafel. We all wonder, he said, “How am I going to compose a salad that isn’t confusing?”

Here’s how: Follow these tips from Stebner for upping your salad game.

• Pluck one or two in-season vegetables to be your salad’s stars.

Homing in on a few main flavors will help keep even an elaborate salad grounded. Let the season dictate what those flavors should be.

“Don’t go to the market expecting to find something, and, if you don’t find it, your plans are ruined,” says Stebner.

Choose what’s sprouting up all over the markets you frequent. At the height of summer, it might be sweet corn and tomatoes, which Stebner picked to demonstrate how to compose a summer salad. Whatever you choose, however, it

Marinated Corn, Tomato and Halloumi Salad Washington Post photo

will taste better when it’s in season.

• You’re going to need some inspiration.

You’ve arrived at the most confounding moment in salad making: What do you add now?

Stebner likes to heed the old farming proverb “what grows together, goes together”; it’s why he chose to pair corn with tomatoes, because both reach their peak at roughly the same time of year. You also can look for cultural inspiration in the ingredients you have on hand. Stebner kicked around a faintly Italian theme that would pair his market finds with basil and a burrata or mozzarella cheese. But then he grabbed a few sweet peppers and avocados, and his concept changed. He reached for chewy, mild halloumi cheese and then could see he had in hand exactly what he needed for a meatless dish with a tinge of Latin American influence: a marinated corn salad with peppers and avocado.

• Layer in textures and flavors.

Now it’s time to pile in chewy and crunchy elements and herbs that will add spice, acid, sweetness or creaminess to your salad.

Proteins such as chicken and tofu can turn a side salad into an entrée, but so can wheat berries, farro and quinoa,

which pack protein, iron and a nutty flavor.

Then, “we’re looking for umami, we’re looking for richness. And cheese is going to give you that,” he said. For his corn salad, he used halloumi, a mild, buttery Mediterranean cheese that becomes chewy when tossed into a grill pan. It adds a warm element to Stebner’s cool, mostly raw salad.

For creaminess, bypass ranch dressing and try wedges of ripe avocado. There are myriad ways to add something crunchy, too: Toast almonds or even tiny kernels of raw quinoa in a dry pan until they’re golden, and toss them in.

• Make your dressing at home.

Bottled dressings are convenient, but a basic homemade dressing takes only a whisk and a few ingredients probably already on your shelves. Stebner makes a pantry-friendly dressing by mincing garlic to release its flavor and blending it with sherry vinegar, smoked salt and olive oil. In the fall, he suggests trying apple cider vinegar. To help emulsify the dressing so the oil and vinegar are combined into one rich mix that won’t separate before you’re ready to toss it all together, he loves using an immersion blender.

'%. &!$* )$++%* "#% !(" , ) +:D9 ?;7 ,.!&'+%10 10 .2 )/"3#'- 22.'

sherry vinegar and oil in a medium bowl. Season with a pinch each of kosher salt and pepper; toss gently to incorporate. Marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, make the dressing: Combine the garlic, sherry vinegar, crushed red pepper flakes and smoked salt in a mixing bowl. Gradually drizzle in the oil, whisking constantly, just long enough to lightly emulsify the dressing.

Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Add the halloumi; cook for about 30 seconds on each side or until browned in spots. The texture should be firm and slightly chewy. Let cool slightly, then cut into bite-size pieces, about the same size as the avocado and cherry tomatoes.

Combine ingredients. Gradually pour in the dressing, adding just enough to coat; toss well.

Those who can resist that temptation will, in theory at least, do better.

In today’s deal, what is the tempting play that East must resist? South is in three no-trump, and West leads a fourth-highest spade four.

It was normal for North to employ Stayman to try to find a 4-4 heart fit; but when South denied a major, all North had done was give the defenders extra information about declarer’s hand.

At trick one, many an East would cover dummy’s spade five with the seven. However, when third hand’s highest card is below a nine, he should resist the temptation to play third hand high; he should give count. So, with a tripleton, he should play his lowest: here, the two. Even if dummy’s five wins the trick (declarer having started with, say, K-J-3), it will not matter.

In this deal, though, when West learns that his partner has three spades (it cannot be one, because South denied four spades in the auction), he knows South began with king-jack-doubleton. So, when in with the club king, he cashes his spade ace to drop the king and runs the suit to defeat the contract.

Note that this give-count play applies to both no-trump and suit contracts. Play low with an odd number or high with an even number.
