Watch where you step – for your mother’s sake, at least

I’ve been watching where I’ve been walking for the past couple of months now.

And, no, it’s not because I’m afraid I will step on a pile of dog poo left behind by some inconsiderate dog owner out walking his pet. For the most part, dogs like to do their business in the grass, not on concrete, and I’m not sure why on that one.

And most dog owners are considerate. They bring plastic bags with them – the kind that the newspaper comes in is ideal – and clean up after their dogs. If they don’t, they’re probably violating a municipal ordinance, not to mention a major tenet of neighborliness. Shame on you.

Where you might run across a dog pile is on a conservation district hiking path, many of which are simply mown grass, and Fido has no problem stopping anywhere to do what he has to do. And I’ve seen my share of dog remains on these hiking paths, enough to make me look down and scan the area ahead of me to avoid stepping on them. You can’t blame the dog. It’s the owner.

And few things are worse than stepping on dog poo. Ugh. Lately, for me, what could be worse is stepping on a crack.

We’re all aware of the children’s rhyme, “Step on a crack, break your mother’s back.”

It was a game you played on the way to school when you were in fourth grade. You would try to avoid cracks at all cost. Some sidewalks were so laced with cracks that you had to jump over them to reach a safe spot. If you fell short, well, you broke your mother’s back and lost the game, which would start up again.

I’ve taken up that game again. For the past couple of months, I have been avoiding cracks in sidewalks and on pavement. I love my mother; I don’t want to break her back. So out of respect for her, and her strong back, I avoid stepping on cracks.

I checked with the Incredible Internet on the origins of this rhyme, and I was disappointed to find out that it has racist undertones. It goes back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries when, it came out as, “Step on a crack and your mother will turn black.” It was cleaned up sometime later, in more enlightened times.

Until I checked with the Incredible Internet, I had no idea.

I live in the more enlightened times, even though racism has not been blotted from our national consciousness. The rhyme is, “Step on a crack, break your mother’s back.” That’s what I grew up with, and that’s what I live by.

WHERE IT’S AT

VIEWS Dick Peterson I frequently walk a paved driveway that is loaded with cracks, and when I am alone, as I frequently am, I make sure I avoid stepping on cracks. I know where all the cracks are and, sometimes, I have to weave around to avoid multiple cracks, but I do what is necessary.

Cracks aren’t just cracks, according to the Incredible Internet, they are fissures in the metaphysical boundaries between this world and some nefarious world – hell, I would call it – where only bad things can happen, such as breaking your mother’s back.

If you are walking alone, it’s pretty easy to avoid stepping on cracks in the sidewalk or pavement. You just have to look down when you walk or scan ahead for cracks. You’re going to miss a lot of scenery along the way, but you do what you have to do to save your mother’s back.

If you are walking with someone else, forget it. Your attention is diverted from the ground to the person you are walking with. And since not all people believe that if you step on a crack, you’ll break your mother’s back, you’ll probably be looked at a little strangely. “What’s up with him? He’s walking oddly.” Then the question is asked, “What’s going on?” And you explain the broken back syndrome. Then you get the raised eyebrows and an, “Oh, really?”

I have no proof that stepping on a crack will break your mother’s back. My mother’s back is just fine, and she’s got six kids, all of whom step on cracks on a daily basis. It’s not just me.

The only proof I have is a Gary Larson cartoon from The Far Side 1992 Off-the-Wall Calendar for May 10 of that year, Mother’s Day. It shows a building full of convalescing older women with the caption, “At the hospital for mothers whose children stepped on sidewalk cracks.” The Incredible Internet always comes through.

Maybe the rhyme does not portend bad things to come. Maybe it’s a sign of respect for mothers everywhere that they are always near to your heart. Aww.

SOBER-LIVING HOME COMING TO CRYSTAL LAKE

By JORDYN REILAND

C

jreiland@shawmedia.com

rystal Lake soon will be home to a new sober-living residence for men in recovery for alcohol or drug addiction.

The residence, at 131 Ellsworth St., was acquired recently by Chris Reed and New Directions Addiction Recovery Services. The 12-person men’s facility is expected to open by Oct. 1 after construction and renovations to the

property, Reed said.

Reed also owns The Other Side, a Crystal Lake sober bar established in 2013.

The sober-living home is intended to provide a stable environment and support network that will facilitate those individuals’ growth toward becoming a productive, positive member of society.

Case managers will meet with each resident and identify areas of improvement, as well as find a number of goals

to meet on a regular basis, such as building a résumé, reobtaining a driver’s license or paying off court fines.

For many recovering addicts, these things have long been on the back burner in their lives, Reed said.

“Stuff like that just stacks up on you, and it’s easier to just not think about it,” Reed said, reflecting on his own recovery. “These types of problems in your head seem insurmountable.”

Those interested in living in the home must meet a number of require-

ments, including having established sobriety prior to entering the home, actively seeking and obtaining employment within two weeks of moving in and attending regular house meetings in addition to 12-step meetings, among others.

Residents will not immediately be removed from the home if they do not meet an established requirement, Reed said. Every situation is different and

Continued from page A3 will be evaluated to determine if that person is ready to manage the expectations of the sober-living home.

“Ultimately, if you’re there, and on a daily basis you are trying to work on your recovery program and improving on the quality of your life, we will be there to support that person,” he said.

Those living in the home also will have the opportunity to partake in group outings or events at The Other Side.

Residents also must be able to provide the first week’s living fees, which currently is set at $100. Reed said they are unable to waive fees for residents, but they will offer a scholarship program for which people can donate toward a resident’s first week payment by visiting their website at ndars.org.

Groups such as New Directions Addiction Recovery Services often meet opposition from concerned neighbors and specific zoning codes, as well as a persistent

stigma toward recovering addicts.

This proposed sober-living home was no different.

The project went to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a public hearing last month, and it did not receive a positive recommendation. The sober-living home met all necessary requirements and proper zoning, Reed said.

Board members in opposition said there were going to be too many people living in the residence. The proposed number of occupants is what’s considered allowable by city code.

At Tuesday’s City Council meeting, the project’s request for a special-use permit for the group dwelling was approved, 5-2 – but not without discussion and concerns from city council members and neighbors.

Two neighbors spoke in opposition to the project, expressing their concerns about how it could negatively impact their property value and whether the home would be maintained with general upkeep and oversight.

City Councilman Ralph Dawson, who voted in opposition to the permit, said he

wasn’t comfortable with what seemed to be cramped living quarters, especially in the lower level of the residence.

“I believe that there are other locations that would fit your needs,” he said.

Mayor Aaron T. Shepley said the group has and will continue to meet all necessary requirements, and if it does not do so, then the council will take whatever action is needed to ensure it complies.

Shepley said those who don’t recognize the drug problem in the county and Crystal Lake, specifically heroin-related, are “blind.”

“We are not in a position to turn a blind eye to this,” he said.

After the meeting, Reed said he understands the neighbors’ concerns, and the group will continue to be open-minded and willing to listen to anyone’s concerns and ideas.

“A lot of people have a lot of preconceived ideas of what a drug addict is or an alcoholic. I would say mostly it’s almost impossible to put a face to addiction,” Reed said. “It literally doesn’t discriminate.”

Former assistant state’s attorney settles lawsuit against Bianchi

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A former assistant state’s attorney has settled a lawsuit filed against McHenry County State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi claiming Bianchi fired him in retaliation for his testimony against the state’s attorney during a criminal trial.

Under the terms of the settlement, McHenry County will pay Kirk Chrzanowski $75,000, said Rebecca Lee, Chrzanowski’s attorney. Lee said she could not comment further on the settlement, citing a confidentiality agreement.

The agreement is subject to McHenry County Board approval.

The lawsuit, filed in 2013, said Chrzanowski testified during a grand jury proceeding that Bianchi improperly influenced and/or arranged a plea in a case.

He said Bianchi allegedly began retaliating after Chrzanowski was disclosed as a witness for the prosecution by placing negative information in his personnel file. His file had otherwise contained positive remarks, according to court documents.

Bianchi allegedly wrote in a memo that Chrzanowski failed to introduce him to two college students who were interning at the office.

“He never would have thought of introducing me to them had I not stopped him and made a point of

it,” Bianchi reportedly wrote in the memo.

Bianchi went on trial twice for alleged official misconduct. Both times, he was acquitted before the defense called any witnesses.

Chrzanowski said he was summoned to Bianchi’s office and “interrogated” by Bianchi and Assistant State’s Attorney Michael Combs. Bianchi asked for Chrzanowski’s resignation, but he refused, and Bianchi said, “You’re terminated. Get out,” according to court documents.

Bianchi’s attorney could not be reached for comment Friday. Bianchi previously has said that Chrzanowski’s exit had nothing to do with his testimony.

Huntley police and fire departments to host fundraiser for sergeant with cancer

By HANNAH PROKOP

HUNTLEY – The Huntley Police Department and Huntley Fire Protection District are coming together to help support a former sergeant who was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

L.J. Marak, 40, was diagnosed with a soft-tissue cancer called synovial sarcoma in 2014, his sister Darcey Martino said, and his family found out the illness was terminal about a year later.

The father of three left his position at the police department to go on permanent disability in July, Martino said.

“For us as a family, we’re just taking everything day by day to just get through and not sweat the small stuff anymore,” said L.J.’s wife, Kim Marak.

To help support the family, Huntley firefighter/paramedic David Floyel said Huntley Firefighters Union IAFF Local 4106 decided to partner with Huntley police and donate the majority of proceeds from the fire department’s eighth annual golf outing Aug. 30 to L.J. Marak.

“It’s been really good to have both of us come together,” Floyel said. “We haven’t really done that before.”

wife of Sgt. L.J. Marak The golf outing begins at 9 a.m. at Whisper Creek Golf Course, 12840 Del Webb Boulevard, Huntley. People also can come for the dinner only, which will start about 2 p.m. Registration is open until Aug. 19, and people interested in attending should contact Floyel at dfloyel@iaff4106.org or 815-762-3040.

L.J. started with Huntley police in 2002 as a patrol officer and was appointed to sergeant in 2010, Huntley Police Detective Theo Kallantzes said.

Kallantzes has worked with L.J. Marak throughout his time with the department, and said he is well-respected and has everyone’s back.

“There’s always someone, people that you work with, that you trust a little bit more and look toward more for guidance and are honest with you, and that’s L.J.,” Kallantzes said.

Kallantzes said L.J. Marak has a great sense of humor and was a great leader at the department.

After sending out a message a couple weeks ago to police departments across the country explaining L.J. Marak’s situation, Kallantzes said, he has received more than $2,000 in donations from law enforcement agencies from California to New Jersey.

“We’re like brothers automatically,” Kallantzes said. “As soon as you put the badge on, we’re family.”

The family also has received support from a GoFundMe page that has raised more than $65,000.

“It’s humbling and comforting know there’s so many people out there that care and want to support and want to help,” Kim Marak said.

For information on the event, visit www.iaff4106.org or the Huntley Fire Fighters Union IAFF Local 4106 Facebook Page.

Donations also can be made at Chase banks to the “Sergeant L.J. Marak Family Fund,” account number 420727997, PO Box 1023, Huntley, IL 60142.

Another fundraiser for the family held by Martino will take place from 5 to 10 p.m. Sept. 15 at Durty Nellies, 180 N. Smith St., Palatine.

WOODSTOCK – About 100 volunteers came out Saturday for Woodstock’s first community cleanup day.

From 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., volunteers helped pick up any litter they saw alongside the streets of Woodstock.

One of the many volunteers was Woodstock resident Matt Thuma.

“We just have such a problem with litter in the public areas and the city can’t do it all,” Thuma said. “So getting people to do it just helps out so much.”

Event coordinator Laura Witlox Middaugh, who has lived in Woodstock for the past 20 years, said she helped create Keep Woodstock Beautiful because she wanted to do something to help out her hometown.

“Rather than complain to the city about the areas that needed help, I thought we could create a movement to do something about it,” Witlox Middaugh said.

Volunteers were designated a cleanup location and were provided with garbage bags and gloves. Along with picking up trash, 15 volunteers were tasked with painting the side wall of local plastic manufacturer Matrix 4, at 610 E. Judd St. “As a main building that’s in the heart of this area, we thought it was important to look at how are we beautifying our space,” Matrix 4 owner Patricia Miller said.

Daryl Quitalig for Shaw Media Miller said her building’s side wall has been an Patricia Miller, of Crystal Lake, and Owner and CEO of Matrix 4, 610 E. Judd St., Woodstock, lays down an extended

Continued from page A7 “eyesore” for a long time, so she and several other volunteers painted the wall to make it more appealing when people drive through Woodstock and see it.

“I think we’re a tight-knit community, and all the businesses here are supported by the people that live in this community,” Miller said. “So I think it’s important for us to be giving back to an area we live and work in.”

After several hours of hard work, volunteers gathered outside Matrix 4’s parking lot, where they were treated to beverages and a free lunch provided by the Public House of Woodstock and Crystal Lake-based Country Donuts.

Saturday’s community cleanup was hosted by the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County, the Woodstock Jaycees, the city of Woodstock and other residents.

“A lot of community civic groups have stepped up to the plate to help with this event,” Witlox Middaugh said.

Even though this year’s event has come to an end, Witlox Middaugh said, she plans to continue organizing community cleanup events for years to come.

“This is not a one-time event,” Witlox Middaugh said. “We see this as more of a five-year plan rather than just an annual event.”

Final plans for medical office at Route 47, I-90 near OK

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Plans are moving forward for an 18,102-square-foot Advocate Health Care medical office at the northwest corner of Route 47 and Interstate 90 in Huntley.

At Huntley’s Committee of the Whole meeting Thursday, Director of Development Service Charles Nordman presented the project’s final plat of subdivision and the site plan.

The building would sit on about 5.9 acres, directly east of the Life Spine building.

Peter Messina of Advocate has said the building would house physicians offices, including family practice, internal medicine and cardiology.

It also would house ancillary services, such as cardiac testing, radiology, mammography and laboratories, and community and conference spaces.

The front of the building will feature Harvard modular brick veneer, cast stone and large windows, Nordman said, and the west also will feature the Harvard modular brick veneer and preformed metal panels.

The Huntley Plan Commission recommended approval of the final plans for the site, subject to some conditions. One of those conditions, Nordman pointed out, was that the petitioner is encouraged to work with staff regarding the placement of a ground sign along the property’s side facing Route 47.

The Village Board and Plan Commission previously had said signage for the facility should be more visible from Route 47 and the tollway.

Final approval of the final plat of subdivision and site plan will be on the Huntley Village Board’s agenda for its meeting 7 p.m. Thursday at the village’s municipal complex, 10987 Main St.

HUNTLEY – A new sandwich shop that plans to serve wines, beers and Boar’s Head meats and cheeses will open on Route 47 in Huntley.

Lucky Bernie’s, which recently opened its Spring Grove and Woodstock locations, is planning to move to 9800 Route 47, Unit B, Huntley. Manager Bryan Sterbenz said he hopes the business will open by the end of November.

Huntley Mayor Charles Sass said at Thursday’s Committee of the Whole meeting that the business has applied for a Class A liquor license and intends to apply for a video gaming license.

The liquor license approval was placed on the village’s consent agenda for Thursday’s Village Board meeting.

Sterbenz said that since opening in June, the Spring Grove location has

been doing well.

“In our first month, we made roughly about $24,000 gross revenue for our first 30 days on the front side of business, with no advertising,” Sterbenz said at Thursday’s meeting.

Hours still are being determined for the store, Sterbenz said. The inside design will be similar to that at the other locations, which feature mosaic floors, waterfalls on the walls, and a penny and quarter bar, Sterbenz has 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 it makes, he said.

Huntley Director of Development Services Charles Nordman said Lucky Bernie’s will be the first business to occupy the space in a multitenant retail center that was completed in May.

14 FOX RIVER GROVE

Village set to implement new commuter parking method NORTHWEST HERALD

FOX RIVER GROVE – Fox River Grove is implementing a new way for people to pay for commuter parking in its downtown lots.

While the traditional pay boxes still will be available, drivers can download the Passport application for free to pay online starting Aug. 15, according to a news release from the village.

Passport’s applications allow people to pay for parking through credit card payment options.

The regular parking rate is $1.50, and there is a 0.37 cent convenience fee for using the application. The application can be used at the lots near Route 14 and Lincoln Avenue.

With the application, users can pay

for daily parking, monitor their session and view parking history. The application will be prefunded by users in $10 increments ranging from $10 to $100.

“This new mobile technology will make commuting much more convenient for our residents and other area commuters that utilize our Metra station,” Mayor Robert Nunamaker said in the news release. “Passport has demonstrated success in mobile parking technology, so we felt that their app was a good choice for Fox River Grove.”

People can enter the validation code 60021 to receive one free daily parking rate. The application can be downloaded from the App Store and Google Play, and can be managed at ppprk.com.

MARENGO

Group collecting recyclables Saturday NORTHWEST HERALD

MARENGO – Residents of Marengo will be able to help the environment by participating in Saturday’s recycling drive.

The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County will conduct a recycling collection from 9 a.m. to noon at Marengo City Hall 132 E. Prairie St. The Environmental Defenders, a local nonprofit dedicated to preserving and improving the McHenry County’s environment, will collect various items that typically are not accepted by curbside programs.

However, with the Styrofoam collection site at the Algonquin Public Works Facility recently closing, the group will not be accepting any Styro-

foam at this drive since there currently is no nearby location to recycle Styrofoam.

A monetary donation will be requested for certain items that are not easy to properly dispose of, including fees for fluorescent bulbs, batteries, monitors and TVs. Fluorescent tubes will cost anywhere from 50 cents to $1 each. As for batteries, household, rechargeable, car and button batteries will be accepted at 50 cents a pound.

Some other items that will be accepted include cloth items, reusable bubble wrap, electronics, CDs, DVDs and aluminum cans.

Monetary donations at the collection site will be used to help with the Environmental Defenders’ costs of transportation and proper recycling.

PLAINFIELD – In the near future, Comcast will launch in the Chicago region its latest internet service upgrade, which brings 1-gigabit-per-second internet speeds to its entire service area.

Comcast Greater Chicago Region Vice President of Communications Jack Segal said Friday the upgrade will not require any new construction, though a release date is not yet available.

“Because we’re using our existing lines, this will allow us to reach all across Plainfield and the rest of the Chicago area,” Segal said. “Comcast is the only internet service provider that will be able to deliver gigabit speeds over its existing lines across town and across the metro area.”

When the service goes live, Segal said, customers can acquire a new modem provided by Comcast that will up their internet speeds. Pricing for monthly service will be released when it debuts.

To put the forthcoming internet speeds in context, Segal said Comcast’s Xfinity service will download a 5-gigabyte high-definition movie in 40 seconds, a 15-gigabyte video game in two minutes, a 150-megabyte music album in two seconds and a 600-megabyte television show in four seconds.

In recent months, competitor MetroNet has begun setting up fiber optic cable and internet lines in Plainfield and Romeoville, capable of reaching 1-gigabit per second. MetroNet’s installation in Romeoville is expected to take two years to cover the entire village.

That isn’t the case for Comcast, Segal said. The company, for the past year, has had a fiber-based residential internet service that’s capable of delivering 2-gigabit-per-second speeds to about 40 percent of homes in the Chicago region. But the new service will be able to reach all homes and businesses Comcast serves in its network infrastructure.

Comcast already provides up to 100-gigabyte-per-second speeds to a large number of businesses over fiber.

MARY VIRGINIA McCORMACK

Born: July 5, 1926 Died: Aug. 3, 2016

Mary Virginia McCormack, 90, passed away unexpectedly on Aug. 3, 2016, surrounded by her loving and grateful family. She led a full life of unwavering devotion to faith, family, and community.

She was born on July 5, 1926, in Chicago, IL, to George Arthur Lang and Aileen Anna Faherty. Mary grew up working in her father’s corner grocery store on Kostner Avenue. She graduated from Siena High School in 1944.

Mary attended Mount Mary College in Wauwatosa, WI, where she received a bachelor’s degree in Education. Mary went on to teach at Tennyson Elementary School in Chicago.

Mary was among the first summer staff to re-open Yellowstone National Park following its closure during WWII. Upon her first sight of the majestic expanse of the Teton mountain range, she was awestruck. Thereafter, regular pilgrimages to Wyoming ensued, whereby she shared her passion for the unparalleled grandeur and the wild, uncompromising beauty that resonated within her soul.

Mary was married to Dr. Joseph Lawrence McCormack on Sept. 12, 1953, in Chicago.

Mary and Joe were brought together through the social dances hosted by their Chicago

west-side parishes of Resurrection and St. Thomas Aquinas. Their romance blossomed into a marriage that spanned almost 64 years, taking them from Chicago to the newly-built suburbs and ultimately to their home overlooking the Kishwaukee Valley west of Woodstock.

Her Catholic faith was the cornerstone of her life. Mary instilled in her 10 children a deep love for the faith that still grows today through the lives of her 20 grandchildren. The one thing she desired most was that her children and grandchildren stay close to God. Motherhood in Mary’s eyes was not a mere offshoot of matrimony but rather a sacred vocation. Along with the inexhaustible generosity of her husband, she dedicated herself to her children with joyous self-sacrifice modeled on that of the Blessed Mother. The intensity of her devotion increased with each of her children whom she welcomed into the world as a gift from God. Her greatest joy was to be surrounded by her 10 beloved children, whether all dressed in matching pajamas on Christmas morning, taking up an entire pew in church, or packed like sardines in a maxi-van heading West on I-80.

Along with her husband Joseph, Mary was a long-time member of St. Mary Church and supporter of St. Mary Grade School and Marian Central Catholic High School in Woodstock.

She loved the arts and was a member of the Woodstock Fine Arts Association. Mary was an advocate of preserving the small town, rural atmosphere that made Woodstock unique.

Mary was preceded in death by her parents George and Aileen.

Thank You McHenry County for voting us #1 for the last 6 years!

She is survived by her loving spouse Joseph; her eight sons and two daughters, Mary (Don) Harboway; Joseph (Cathy); Anthony (Teresa); Francis (Mary Kate); David (Heidi); Martin (Anne Marie); Peter (Ellen); Colin (Joanne); Cecilia (Kevin) Skelton; and Robert. Mary is further survived by her twenty grandchildren, August, Regina, Paul, Grace, Clare, Monique, Molly, Helen, Luke Francis, Maria, David, Áine, Mary Margaret, Brigid, Colin, Rosie, Aidan, Maura, Luke Patrick, and Amelia.

Visitation will be held at St. Mary Catholic Church located at 312 Lincoln Avenue, Woodstock, IL. On Wednesday, Aug. 10, from 4 to 8 p.m. with a 7 p.m. prayer service. Visitation will continue on Thursday, Aug. 11, at 10 a.m. at St. Mary Catholic Church followed by the Mass of Christian Burial at 11 a.m.

The family will gather at a later date in the place Mary loved so dearly, Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for a private Mass at Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church, and interment at Aspen Hill Cemetery where Mary will be laid to rest, next to her parents, with a view of her beloved Grand Tetons.

The family would like to thank the nursing and respiratory staff of the ICU at Centegra Hospital in Woodstock for the care given to Mary and the compassion shown to her grieving family.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to either of the following charities: Right to Life McHenry County http:// www.righttolife-mc.org/, St. Mary Guardian Angel Fund http://www.stmary-woodstock. org/admission/guardian-angel-fund.

Fond aunt and cousin of many. Patricia was a selfless, loving wife, mother and grandparent.

One of her biggest accomplishments, besides her children and grandchildren, was being the first woman to win National Champion in Taekwondo. She will be greatly missed.

Ill. eyes long prison sentences for gun traffickers

By IVAN MORENO

The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Hoping to stem the flow of illegal guns into Illinois, lawmakers have sent Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner a bill that would punish traffickers with up to 30 years in prison.

The proposal comes as Chicago is seeing another violent year, with shootings contributing to 381 homicides as of July 31. The city has a strict gun policy that requires permits to screen for criminal records and other disqualifiers, and investigators said most of the firearms recovered at crime scenes in recent years were bought in other states where it is easier to buy guns, including neighboring Indiana.

“I have zero tolerance, zero tolerance for anyone who leaves the state for that purpose,” said Rep. Jim Durkin, the House Republican leader who introduced the bill.

Lawmakers sent Rauner the bill June 27, and he has three weeks left to decide whether to sign or veto it. Lance Trover, a spokesman for the governor,

Chicago police chief, protesters at odds over body cameras

CHICAGO – Chicago’s police superintendent suggested Saturday that an officer’s body camera wasn’t turned on when he fatally shot a black teen last month because the officer had only received it about a week earlier and wasn’t yet proficient in using it.

But demonstrators who held a march protesting the killing voiced strong suspicions that the camera may have been turned off as part of a cover-up.

At a news conference, Superintendent Eddie Johnson discussed nine videos taken from dashcams in police cars and body cameras on other officers involved. The videos show officers firing repeatedly at a stolen car as it careens down the street away from

said the bill still is being reviewed.

Prosecutors who lobbied for the bill argue they need a law that allows them to go after traffickers and levy long sentences to deter future offenders; opponents are skeptical about whether a new charge is necessary or fair.

The bill drew opposition from the American Civil Liberties Union in Illinois, which argues the penalties duplicate federal law and are too severe with “incredibly long sentences,”

“They had had those cameras maybe about a week. ... There’s going to be a learning curve,” Johnson said of the body cameras.

Protesters said Saturday they did not believe any official explanation for the nonworking body camera.

Hop farms not taking off in Illinois despite craft beer boom

CHICAGO – The hop farming craze has yet to fully take root in Illinois even though Chicago’s craft beer scene is rich and growing.

Michigan will have planted more than 800 acres of the crop by the end of 2016, while Illinois only grows 30 acres of hops, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Hop farms have popped up throughout the Midwest as

ACLU spokesman Ed Yohnka said. The group supports the goal of removing illegal guns from the streets but doubts the legislation will solve that problem, Yohnka said.

Brandon Nemec, an assistant state’s attorney in Cook County, disagrees with the ACLU’s assessment, noting the federal law applies to cases where someone transferred a firearm to someone prohibited from possessing one. The bill, however, focuses on “the

the craft brewing trend has increased the demand for the crop, which is used to flavor certain styles.

But unlike in Michigan, there’s no state university-coordinated effort to break down potential business barriers. There’s also no research underway to give Illinois farmers a competitive edge by determining the best varieties of hops to grow.

Additionally, hop farming yields more revenue an acre than commodities, but it requires significant investment to begin.

“There’s a hesitancy to invest in the land itself when we’re not in a proven market,” said Rich Hauser, president of Bier Blume Farms in Lena.

2 jailers moved into policing jobs after Ill. woman’s death

DALLAS – Less than two months after the death of Sandra Bland, a black woman from Naperville, Illinois, who was jailed in Texas after a routine traffic stop, two of her jailers quietly moved to other jobs.

intent to deliver,” Nemec said.

Nearly 60 percent of the guns used in Chicago during crimes are traced to other states, according to a 2014 report from the mayor’s office, which blamed “weaker gun laws” in those places.

About 20 percent come from Indiana, where no permit is required to buy firearms and private sellers don’t have to conduct background checks.

Illinois requires gun purchasers to obtain a permit – a process designed to disqualify felons, those with mental illnesses and domestic abusers among others.

If the bill is signed into law, a first conviction for gun trafficking will carry a sentence of four to 20 years, and a subsequent offense will punishable by up to 30 years in prison.

“We need to make a statement and do something about the straw purchases that are happening outside the state of Illinois,” Durkin said.

The measure passed unanimously in both legislative chambers.

The proposal is supported by the NRA and the Illinois State Rifle Association.

Rafael Zuniga and Michael Serges left the Waller County Sheriff’s Office in September 2015 for the Waller Police Department, a smaller agency with less responsibility, according to state records obtained by The Associated Press. They started work on the same day.

They have kept those jobs even after admitting under oath their roles in falsifying a jail monitoring log that indicated guards checked on Bland an hour before she was found hanging in her cell in July 2015, according to an attorney for the Bland family, which has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the county and several employees, including the two former jailers. Local authorities ruled Bland’s death a suicide.

Sidney Johnson, the first black councilman in Waller, said he’s suspicious about the jailers’ move to the municipal payroll so soon after Bland’s death, but that his requests for more information have been ignored.

He added that had he known about the men’s involvement

in the Bland case, “we wouldn’t have hired them.”

Rauner signs law to expand voter access for 17-year-olds

CHICAGO – Gov. Bruce Rauner has signed a measure expanding an Illinois law that lets 17-yearolds vote in a primary if they’re 18 by the general election.

The new plan now allows 17-year-olds to participate in more primaries for local offices, such as for mayor, if they’re 18 by the general contest. They also will be able to circulate petitions for candidates and ballot questions and help others register to vote.

The law takes effect immediately. Lawmakers approved it with overwhelming support.

Illinois approved a law in 2013 allowing 17-year-olds to vote in a primary if they turned 18 by the general election. It took effect in the 2014 election cycle.

Democratic state Sen. Terry Link was a bill sponsor. He’s said the plan helps open doors for teens.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Taliban’s new commando force tests Afghan army

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan – An elite new Taliban force is proving its strength in the strategic southern province of Helmand, pointing to the insurgents’ ability to refine their battlefield techniques to match Afghanistan’s increasingly professional national army.

The Taliban regard Helmand as their heartland. They share Pashtun ethnicity with its residents and the province’s vast opium output has helped fund the war against the government in Kabul, now in its 15th year.

In recent weeks, the Taliban have taken huge swaths of the province and appear to be closing in on the capital, Lashkar Gah. Afghan officials said the army is facing an insurgent fighting force that is better-organized and more skilled than ever.

Fla. officials in damagecontrol mode over Zika

TAMPA, Fla. – Thank goodness it’s the slow season in Florida.

At least that’s what officials and representatives of the state’s multibillion-dollar tourism industry are thinking after news that 16 people have been infected with Zika in a small, trendy neighborhood in Miami.

The outbreak has sent another chill through the Sunshine State’s tourism industry just

weeks after the Orlando nightclub massacre and the killing of a 2-year-old boy by an alligator at Walt Disney World.

Florida officials have gone into damage-control mode, with Gov. Rick Scott insisting, “We have a safe state!”

Tourism is Florida’s biggest industry. Visitors spent $89 billion here last year.

Outside of a few business owners in the affected squaremile neighborhood, however, Zika appears to have done little damage to tourism so far.

Buffalo charges riders on horseback at S.D. park

CUSTER STATE PARK, S.D. – Authorities said a mounted guide who was leading a family of four on a trail ride in Custer State Park prevented a possible disaster when she put her horse in front of a charging buffalo.

Park Superintendent Matt Snyder said a large bull buffalo attacked the group of riders Friday morning. The buffalo reportedly knocked the guide off of her horse, which spooked the other four horses into spilling their riders.

There were no serious injuries.

Snyder says bulls are currently in rut, the time in the mating season when an animal that already is unpredictable can become even more erratic.

U.S. discloses more conditions for lethal strikes by its drones

By CALVIN WOODWARD The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The White House has released a version of President Barack Obama’s 3-year-old guidance on the use of lethal force against terrorists overseas, laying out what it said are safeguards to minimize civilian deaths and errant strikes while preserving the capability to take quick action with drone attacks and other means.

The “presidential policy guidance” stipulates that the U.S., when operating outside areas of active hostilities, will only take direct action when there is “near certainty” that the terrorist target is present and that noncombatants won’t be killed or injured. Lethal force also can be undertaken only against a lawful target that poses a “continuing, imminent threat” to Americans.

The principles, released with redactions, provide more detail on the conditions for drone strikes and other direct action than the White House revealed earlier when it summarized the document in a fact sheet in 2013.

Obama or his aides have spoken previously, however, about the “near certainty” standard at the heart of the guidance – a standard that hasn’t silenced criticism over civilian deaths from drones.

Ned Price, spokesman for the White House’s National Security Council, said in a statement Saturday that the policy standards “offer protections for civilians that exceed the requirements of the law of armed conflict.”

“As the president has said, ‘near certainty’ is the ‘highest standard we can set,’ ” Price said. The U.S. “takes feasible precautions to minimize the risk of civilian casualties” even when the U.S. is not operating in conditions covered by the guidance, he added, “or when we act quickly to defend U.S. or partner forces from imminent attack.”

The American Civil Liberties Union had sued for disclosure of the guidance under the Freedom of Information Act and welcomed the development. The release “will inform an ongoing debate about the lawfulness and wisdom of the government’s counterterrorism policies,” said Jameel Jaffer, ACLU deputy legal director.

But Jaffer said questions remain about where the guidance applies, whether Obama has waived its requirements in particular instances, and how the “relatively stringent standards can be reconciled with the accounts of eyewitnesses, journalists and human rights researchers who have documented large numbers of bystander casualties.”

Among the conditions set out in the guidance: Approval from the president is required for a lethal strike against a U.S. citizen or when relevant officials in the administration disagree on whether a particular non-American “nominated” for a deadly attack should in fact be targeted. In cases where the officials are unanimous in favor of a lethal attack against a foreigner, the president needs to be notified but his approval is not required to proceed.

In July, the administration said it had killed up to 116 civilians in counterterrorism attacks in Pakistan, Yemen and other places where the U.S. is not engaged in active, on-theground warfare. It was the first such public assessment and a response to growing pressure for more information about lethal U.S. operations overseas. Human rights and other groups quickly complained that the administration undercounted civilian casualties.

The report by National Intelligence Director James Clapper said the U.S. conducted 473 counterterrorism strikes, including those by unmanned drones, between January 2009 and December 2015, killing 2,372 to 2,581 combatants in those years.

Poll: Young adults back new efforts vs. gun violence

By TAMMY WEBBER and EMILY SWANSON The Associated Press

CHICAGO – LaShun Roy supports a ban on semi-automatic weapons and more comprehensive background checks. But the 21-year-old gun owner from rural Texas doesn’t consider gun control measures a top priority in this year’s elections.

For Keionna Cottrell, a 24-year-old who lives on Chicago’s South Side and whose brother was shot and killed this year in another Illinois city, few things are more important than limiting access to guns.

“So many people are dying here because there is no control of the weapons out on our streets,” Cottrell said.

“Young men ... have real military guns, and they’re not scared to use them.”

Although their lives and experiences differ, the young women’s shared support for additional policies to curb gun violence reflect the feelings of many Americans between the ages of 18 and 30, regardless of their backgrounds, according to a new GenForward poll.

About 9 in 10 young adults said they support criminal background checks for all gun sales, a level of support that remains consistent across racial and ethnic groups. Stiffer penalties for violating existing gun laws are supported

by 9 in 10 young adults, including about 9 in 10 whites, Asian-Americans and Latinos, as well as 8 in 10 African-Americans.

Fifty-seven percent of young Americans support a ban on semi-automatic weapons, with support especially high – 74 percent – among Asian-Americans.

GenForward is a survey by the Black Youth Project at the University of Chicago with the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The first-of-its-kind poll pays special attention to the voices of young adults of color, highlighting how race and ethnicity shape the opinions of a new generation.

Roy, a full-time college student who

learned to handle assault rifles while serving in the National Guard, said it’s possible to protect the rights of gun owners and implement safeguards.

That puts her among the 54 percent of young adults – including 61 percent of Asian-Americans, 57 percent of African-Americans and 52 percent of Latinos and whites – who said laws limiting gun ownership do not infringe on the public’s right to bear arms.

“I think it’s important to make sure the government isn’t going door to door saying, ‘Let me see your guns and ammo,’ ” said Roy, who is black. “But I think it’s really important to have background checks ... and make sure a felon

can’t get a gun.”

She also believes a new Texas law that permits open carry on college campuses is a bad idea.

“What if someone’s not doing well in class or a family member dies? What’s to stop them from pulling out a gun and shooting the teacher or people in class?” she said. “You just have so many different emotions and types of people you go to school with.”

The poll underscores the differences in young Americans’ personal experiences, which they say helped shape their attitudes toward guns.

More than a third of African-Americans – 37 percent – and nearly a quarter of Latinos say they or someone they know has experienced gun violence in the last year, compared to only 12 percent of whites or Asian-Americans.

About 4 in 10 young adults say they live in households where someone owns a gun, including 21 percent who personally own one. Among young whites, 52 percent live in a gun-owning household, with 29 percent owning one personally.

Twenty-four percent of young blacks, 23 percent of young Latinos, and 19 percent of young Asian-Americans live in gun owning households, though just 10 percent of Latinos and Asian-Americans and 11 percent of African-Americans say they own one personally.

Trump on Clinton: ‘I don’t think she’s all there’

The Associated Press

WINDHAM, N.H. – Republican Donald Trump questioned Democrat Hillary Clinton’s fitness to be president Saturday night, saying “she’s got problems” and that Americans “don’t want someone who’s going to short-circuit.”

Trump told a crowd of supporters that he’s not sure the former first lady and secretary of state is up to the job.

“Honestly, I don’t think she’s all there,” Trump said at a rally in a steamy gymnasium.

Clinton this week said that she “may have short-circuited” when she claimed that FBI Director James Comey said “my answers were truthful and what I’ve said is consistent with what I ia and Wisconsin. President Barack Obama carried them all in 2008, and missed out on only North Carolina during his 2012 re-election campaign.

have told the American people” about her use of a private email server during her tenure in the State Department.

She had made the claim in an interview with Fox News.

Comey told Congress that investigators had “no basis to conclude she lied to the FBI.” But he also has questioned the accuracy of some of the public statements she’s made about the issue.

Clinton’s statement drew rebuke from fact checkers as well as Trump, who earlier Saturday tweeted that, “Anybody whose mind ‘SHORT CIRCUITS’ is not fit to be our president!

DES MOINES, Iowa – Hillary Clinton doesn’t appear all that interested in making scenic stops on her stateto-state quest to become president. Instead, the Democratic nominee is programming her GPS to take her on the quickest route to collect the 270 Electoral College votes she needs to win the White House.

With three months until Election Day, Clinton’s campaign is focused on capturing the battleground states that have decided the most recent presidential elections, not so much on expanding the map.

Clinton’s team doesn’t rule out an effort at Arizona, a state with a booming population of Latino voters that polls find are loath to support Trump. And Georgia, a bastion of the Deep South, echoes recent population trends in other Southeastern states where Clinton is competing aggressively.

But neither is among the 11 battleground states that Clinton’s television advertising plans and her travel schedule point to as her focus. Those states are the perennial top-tier targets Florida and Ohio, plus Colorado, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virgin-

sion ad time late this past week to start on Monday, it spent most of the money in just three states: Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio. Feeling good about Colorado and Virginia, the campaign passed on giving those states a fresh injection of ad dollars, though they remain heavily staffed with organizers.

Likewise, officials with the pro-Clinton group Priorities USA say they have put its advertising plans there on hold.

Meanwhile, Trump’s travel following the Republican convention suggests he’s given up on plans to force Clinton to defend traditional Democratic bastions California and New York. Beyond that, it’s not clear how he plans to chart his course to 270.

“I have states that no other Republican would do well in that I think I’m going to win,” Trump told The Washington Post this past week. “But I don’t want to name those states.”

Trump’s campaign has yet to run a single television ad and has made curious decisions about where to send its candidate. This past week, for example, Trump spent a day in Portland, Maine, chasing after the single electoral vote at stake along the state’s largely Democratic southern coast.

There have been no such distractions for Clinton since the end of her convention.

Valley Hi’s residents deserve better

The McHenry County-operated Valley Hi Nursing Home failed in its responsibility to its residents by not recognizing a serious skin infection outbreak and then not properly isolating the outbreak to prevent it from spreading to others.

A critical report from the Illinois For the record Department of Public Health blamed the Valley Hi administrators must outbreak of scabies adopt an effective infection that affected 27 control program to prevent a residents this sumsimilar outbreak from spreadmer on significant deficiencies in Valley ing again.

Hi’s infection control policies and procedures.

“Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to have an effective infection control program to identify, monitor and contain the spread of a communicable disease between residents and staff,” the report stated. “This failure resulted in the spread of a communicable skin rash to 27 residents.”

Cary resident Christy Wagner, whose mother-inlaw and uncle live in Valley Hi, said she told nursing home staffers in early June about her mother-inlaw’s rash and terrible discomfort. Wagner said staff was slow “to connect obvious dots” and properly communicate to others, steps that could have isolated the outbreak.

“It’s our family’s hope that, going forward, there will be much better communication between staff and administration, working together so patient welfare as well as staff health, is a priority. That’s what they’re there for,” Wagner told Northwest Herald senior reporter Kevin Craver last week.

We wholeheartedly agree with Wagner, though we’ll put it in stronger terms: Valley Hi administrators cannot allow something similar to happen again.

Administrator Tom Annarella said Valley Hi has until Monday to submit a corrective action plan to the state health department, and another month to correct the deficiencies identified in the state report.

We expect Annarella and his leadership team will comply.

Annarella and Valley Hi’s operating board have done a nice job in recent years improving the nursing home’s once dire financial outlook. But the well-being of its clients must be the top priority.

Valley Hi residents and their families deserve better, as do county taxpayers, who help support the facility.

ID’ing chemicals used in fracking A petition filed recently with the state Board of Oil and Gas Conservation draws attention to a serious anomaly in our environmental regulations.

The petition — filed by a coalition of landowners, environmentalists and public health workers — seeks to force oil producers to reveal the full list of chemicals they are using to “frack” oil and gas from deep in the ground.

Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is a process by which fluids are forced into the ground to release oil and gas in shale and other geologic formation. Because of a bizarre mix of state and federal regulations, the companies don’t have to reveal the chemicals they are pumping into the ground. This is because, the oil companies argue, they are trade secrets, and if they are revealed, the company could lose its com-

petitive edge. This despite the fact that many of the chemicals they use are hazardous to the environment and human health.

Think about this: Would we even allow natural resource extraction companies to dump hazardous chemicals into our lakes or rivers? Or would we allow them to spew toxic pollution into the air without any restrictions.

And yet somehow it’s just fine to allow them to pump these pollutants deep into the earth and we’re not even allowed to know what they are.

It’s a testament to the lobbyists for the oil and gas companies that they were able to persuade state and federal legislators to enact laws that protect the firms from revealing these chemicals.

And making the situation worse is the fact that Montana

law long ago separated surface rights and mineral rights in land ownership, and landowners often do not own the oil and gas under their land. So the oil and gas firms can legally come on to someone’s land and pump millions of gallons of fracking chemicals into the ground and the landowner doesn’t even have the right to know what those chemicals are.

On its face, this is absurd.

Members of the Oil and Gas Conservation Board should certainly grant this petition to the full extent they are authorized. And where they are not authorized, the Montana Legislature and Congress need to step in to amend the laws so that these chemicals must be fully revealed to landowners and the public.

IT’S YOUR WRITE

A thank you to the community

To the Editor: For the past year, the trials of operating a non-profit organization in Illinois have been fierce. A growing need for services, while battling a state budget impasse of epic proportions, has had even the most seasoned service providers embracing change and re-evaluating how they do business to ensure that much-needed programs stayed open.

For Pioneer Center, the last year has been especially challenging. We have had to reinvent the very core of our agency in order to survive. Today, we embrace our role as an agency that provides developmental disability services, community-based services and homeless services through McHenry County PADS. Through it all, I have been amazed by the outpouring of support from our community – the individuals, businesses and organizations who have stood by our side and made it their mission to help us succeed. They have come together and held fundraisers on our behalf, helped raise awareness of our struggles and have been integral in sharing the word that we are still here.

To each and every one of these individuals, I want to give a heartfelt thank you. It is because of your willingness to

VIEWS Danyel Reiche For the IOC, bringing people from around the world together – not just gathering medalists – is the mission.

But why would nations participate if their chances of winning medals are slim to none? Let’s take a look.

Sending a delegation to the Olympics is a sign of statehood and builds national identity.

Taking part in the Olympics is one of the “signs of statehood” from which smaller, poorer or newer countries gain recognition in the global community of sovereign states.

The concept of “signs of statehood” has, according to scholar Andrea Stanton, both a domestic and an international dimension.

Within a country, signs of statehood are a functional and universally recognized currency, helping to build community identity as much as a flag or a national anthem.

fight alongside us that we can continue to provide important services to our community.

No one knows for sure what the future holds for social-service agencies in Illinois. But I for one am grateful for the people of McHenry County and their passion in caring for their neighbors, friends, family and community resources. Thank you for supporting us.

At the international level, joining the United Nations is the most important sign of statehood. But belonging to the Olympic community is another top priority. Recent members include Kosovo, recognized by the IOC in 2014 as having the 205th official National Olympic Committee, and South Sudan, recognized as the 206th in 2015.

In fact, some countries are recognized by the IOC before joining the U.N. The International Olympic Committee has more members (206) than the United Nations (193).

The five largest nations (in the dictionary sense of “a large group of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language”) that aren’t U.N. members but send delegations to the Olympics come from places whose sovereignty is contested, for different reasons: China is opposed to Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) and Hong Kong entering the U.N. system; Kosovo faces strong opposition from Serbia and Russia; Palestine is blocked by Israel and the United States. Puerto Rico, which may apply to become the 51st U.S. state, is a bit different from

the others.

For those entities (apart from Puerto Rico), the Olympics are seen as a first step toward fuller international recognition later on. More such nations in contested circumstances may apply in years to come.

Competing at the Games also can unify divided countries. This can be important for more diverse countries.

An example is medal-less Equatorial Guinea, a Central African country with several official languages that has sent delegations to every Summer Olympic Games since 1984. Another is Lebanon, a nation-state that doesn’t have one dominant religion – and which has taken part in all Summer Olympic Games (except for 1956) since its 1943 independence. Cheering for the national teams can help bring diverse countries together in a common identity.

Racing to the bottom

To the Editor: Shame on Gov. Bruce Rauner and the General Assembly for bailing out Chicago schools. McHenry County taxpayers pay two times more property taxes for the same valued home as someone in Chicago. Now our tax dollars bail out Chicago teacher pensions. All because Chicago doesn’t pay its fair share and Rauner wanted a political deal.

Only two legislators, Reps. David McSweeney and Jack Franks, fought for McHenry County taxpayers against this.

Only they told the truth about impending tax increases and voted against Rauner’s unbalanced budget that overspends by $7 billion in six months.

Political expediency has replaced fiscal

sanity.

Only McSweeney and Franks understand we are over-taxed and that government must stay within its means.

They understand citizens simply can’t afford to pay more income and property taxes. It’s distressing that Rauner, who promised to shake up Illinois, is racing to the bottom.

Self-imposed promises

To the Editor: Rep. Jack Franks has made many promises that he hasn’t kept. Here are two of them.

1. He said he was going to do three terms as a representative and he did nine. (He voted for Madigan to lead the

house nine times during those 18 years in office. Madigan and his followers have ruined our state, financially. He’s a Madigan man in Madigan’s army.)

2. Franks said: “I can promise you, I’m not running for McHenry County Board chairman.” He’s running for McHenry County Board chairman. He has proven himself by not keeping these two simple, self-imposed promises.

He made these and many other promises publicly. Please tell me why we should trust him to keep his 10 percent plan or any other plan. Just another promise to be broken?

My mother always told me to not listen to what a man says, watch what he does.

• Sunday, August 7, 2016

The official Rio 2016 Olympic Games website recently ran a story suggesting that five countries might win their first-ever medals at this year’s Summer Games: Kosovo (in judo), Fiji and Samoa (both in rugby), El Salvador (in swimming) and Turkmenistan (in weightlifting).

There’s a reason that a story like that is being promoted by the International Olympic Committee and the Organizing Committee of the Rio Games: It gives the impression that even the underdogs can succeed at the greatest sporting event in the world.

Maybe so, at least for a few of them.

But most of the participating countries – and a record 206 are expected this year – won’t.

The last time a majority of participating countries won an Olympic medal was in 1960. In London 2012, only 85 countries (41.5 percent of those participating) reached the podium.

One-third of all the 204 National Olympic Committees that participated in the 2012 Summer Games have never won a medal in Olympic history.

U.S. sprinter Trayvon Bromell adjusts his shoes. For the New Balance track shoes that Bromell will wear during the Olympics, the company turned to 3-D printing technology to test multiple configurations to improve traction and energy transfer.

Running specialist Brooks turned to Linden to help design her Hyperion shoes. The shoe fabric eliminates seams to reduce the risk of blisters, while rubber rings on the bottom boost traction in slippery terrains and serve as barriers to contain and propel energy back up, according to the company.

“It feels like you do get a spring,” Linden said. “There’s no wasted energy. It’s going right back into you. It feels fast.”

Brooks started selling the shoes in June, though Linden and other Olympians will get extra laser perforations in their shoes for ventilation in Rio’s heat.

Under Armour uniforms for the Canadian rugby and the Swiss and Dutch beach volleyball teams borrow NASA spacesuit technology to reduce body temperature. The insides have crystal-pattern sheets to absorb heat

from the body.

As for Nike’s air-resistance protrusions, the company is embedding them in track suits for about two dozen teams, including the U.S., Brazil, China and Germany. Nike will also make the protrusions available as a tape for runners to stick on their arms and legs.

THE BOUNDARIES

Swimming has among the toughest guidelines after Speedo’s suits propelled Michael Phelps and other swimmers to medals and records at the 2008 Olympics. Their full-body suits – which are no longer permitted – were developed with NASA to boost buoyancy and reduce drag.

Clothing makers can still innovate; they just have to be creative. Michelle Miller, Nike’s apparel concept director, said figuring out how “is one of my favorite parts of the design process.”

VIEWS Mike Piershale stock held in an employer sponsored retirement plan, like a 401k. If done correctly, it allows you to withdraw highly appreciated stock from the employer plan and pay capital gains rates on the appreciation while paying ordinary income tax on the basis. If the majority of the stock’s value is from appreciation, NUA can be a great tax saver. But it must be done before the retirement account is rolled over to an IRA. Indirectly rolling over more than one IRA within a 12-month period is no longer allowed. This is sometimes called a 60-day rollover, where you take receipt of the proceeds before putting them back into a new IRA. Additional 60-day rollovers will be disallowed, and worse, they’ll be fully taxed, and if the IRA owner is under age 59½, they may be subject to a 10 percent early withdrawal penalty.

With this new rule, it is now much

better to only use trustee-to-trustee transfers, which are unlimited, where you never take receipt of the proceeds.

Not paying back a loan from your 401k before rolling it over to an IRA can cause the loan to be treated as a taxable distribution, and if you’re under age 59½ it will also trigger a 10 percent early withdrawal penalty.

Watch out for age-related penalties; for IRAs you must be age 59½ before you can take a distribution without a 10 percent early penalty, unless you have an exception. At age 70½ you must start taking annual required mandatory distributions from your traditional IRA or there is a 50 percent penalty on the missed required distribution!

The first-time home buyer exception and the higher education exception allows you to avoid the 10 percent early withdrawal penalty for taking distributions before age 59½. But these exceptions apply only to IRAs, not employer plans. Trying to use these exceptions for an employer plan will trigger the penalty.

A common mistake is not rolling over a company retirement plan to an

IRA properly. If the rollover check is made out to the employee instead of the IRA custodian, the IRS requires that 20 percent of the distribution be withheld for taxes. Although the employee will get the money back next year as a refund, if the employee wants to roll over the entire amount he or she must come up with the dollars withheld out of their own pocket.

Otherwise they will owe taxes on what’s not rolled over and if they are under 59½ a 10 percent penalty will be assessed. Make sure the check is made out to the IRA custodian and you will avoid this small nightmare.

Mistakes can be expensive when it comes to retirement planning. To prevent them it’s important to familiarize yourself with the rules or work with a financial planner who is a retirement specialist.

Retirement planning can be a tricky area to navigate because it involves hundreds of rules, and violating them can result in unnecessary taxes and penalties.

Couple this with the fact that the majority of people are unfamiliar with this maze of rules and regulations and it’s not surprising that many retirees have made some costly errors in their golden years.

Knowing where the most common mistakes are made is an important step to avoiding them.

Not having beneficiaries on a retirement plan or IRA is a common blunder. If you are not sure you have beneficiaries on your accounts, you should check this immediately. Overlooking this can cause the account to go through probate where the average cost to heirs can be as high as 6 percent of the account value. It also stops the heirs from taking advantage of the inherited IRA option for non-spouse beneficiaries, which can be a huge tax saver.

There is a potential tax savings feature called Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA) that applies to common

Time to find a good investment professional Dear Dave: I’m a recently retired widow, and my husband always took care of most of our finances. We never had any debt, but after starting to learn a little bit about how money works, I’m worried that there may be too much of it invested in CDs (certificates of deposit).

The total nest egg is a little over $1.5 million, with $300,000 of that in CDs. There’s also a $317,000 annuity, a 403(b) and around $900,000 in IRA mutual funds. I also have two homes and a new car that are paid for. How do you think I should handle things going forward? – Joan Dear Joan: I’m really sorry to hear about your husband, but you two did a fantastic job with your finances.

You’re worth at least $1.5 million, and you have no debt. You’re set for life, but you’re wise to want to be careful.

The CDs give you some stability, but obviously they’re not earning much of anything. I think of them as money kicked up in a hammock – it’s not working for you. You both worked

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey hard for that money, so personally I’d like to see it working hard for you now.

If you’ve had good luck with a variable annuity, that’s fine. You’ve also had very good luck with your mutual fund investing. So, with all this money in different areas, you’re definitely diversified. It’s just a matter of wrapping your arms around it all and developing a deeper understanding of things going forward.

At this point, I would urge you to find an investment professional in your area with the heart of a teacher – someone who’s not trying to sell you stuff. You want to learn, Joan, and I’m really impressed by that. It’s a smart and necessary thing. Every time you see an investment person, whoever it may be, your goal should be to leave

the room smarter and with more understanding than you had before.

Dear Dave: My wife and I are 31 years old, and we have no debt except for our home. We also have an emergency fund and college savings in place for the kids. Over the past several months we’ve saved $22,000 for a newer car, but we’re also worried about retirement. We’ve been putting 15 percent of our income toward retirement, and we’re concerned that maybe we shouldn’t spend the whole $22,000 on a car. We make around $100,000 annually and have $50,000 in our nest egg. What do you think, Dave? – Brandon Dear Brandon: In your situation, a $22,000 car is not unreasonable at all.

You guys are both 31 years old, and you’re going to be in great shape for retirement if you just keep doing what you’ve been doing. On top of all that, you’ve got your emergency fund in place, in addition to a nest egg and car savings. If I’m in your shoes, I’d go out and find the best car $22,000 can buy.

You’re doing all the right stuff.

Your kids can go to school debt-free, and you’re going to have the house paid off in no time. In short, you’re going to retire multi-millionaires at the rate you’re going – as long as you keep on keeping on!

Think about this, too. As a general trend, most people’s incomes go up throughout their lifetimes. That being the case, chances are you’re going to make and invest even more money in the years ahead. You and your wife could easily retire with $5 million to $10 million sitting there.

You’ve done a great job together, Brandon. Keep up the good work, and enjoy that car!

Scammers, bug spray companies capitalize on Zika fears

By LINDA A. JOHNSON The Associated Press

TRENTON, N.J. – Worried you might catch the Zika virus? Scammers and bug spray companies are counting on it.

Marketers know this is the time to pounce: The summer Olympics have started in Brazil, where the recent Zika epidemic started, and 14 mosquito-borne cases of Zika were identified recently in the Miami area, the first in the U.S. So companies and entrepreneurs are capitalizing on Zika fears wherever mosquitoes buzz, hawking questionable products like anti-Zika wristbands and promoting all manner of mosquito repellents for people and pets.

“From a marketing point of view, it’s a golden opportunity,” said Jonathan Day, a University of Florida mosquito expert and researcher.

In a first for a bugspray, Off! became the official insect repellent supplier for an Olympic Games, and agreed to send 115,000 sprays, spritzers and towelettes to the Rio Olympics. Rival Cutter in June signed on to sponsor the U.S. men’s and women’s national soccer teams.

Both companies are likely to benefit from Zika fears far beyond supplying athletes and fans in Brazil.

Pharmacies in New York City, for example, have Off! displays warning consumers to “Repel the mosquitoes that may carry the Zika virus.” The tropical mosquito responsible for the Zika epidemic, called Aedes aegypti, is not found in New York, though state health officials still recommend using bug spray.

Zika is usually spread when the mosquito picks it up by biting an infected person and bites someone else. It is a worrying disease, of course, especially for pregnant women. Its symptoms are often so mild that most people don’t know they have it, but it has been found to cause severe birth defects if women are infected while pregnant.

A display for cans of Off! insect repellent has a sign which reads, “Repels the mosquitoes that may carry the Zika virus” at a home improvement store in Fairless Hills, Pa.

Health officials say people in Zika-affected areas should take steps to avoid getting the disease by wearing long pants and long-sleeved shirts and using insect repellent. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention specifically mentions brands like Off! and Cutter in its recommendations.

Zika can also be transmitted by sex, so the CDC recommends using condoms to prevent spreading the virus if one partner is infected, or might be.

In a marketer’s hand, that kind of recommendation turns a condom into a Zika-fighting device. Australia’s Ansell Ltd. is supplying that country’s Olympic team with “anti-Zika condoms” lubricated with an antiviral gel. But that gel has never been tested

outside a laboratory, and experts say any condom will do the job.

Some enterprising marketers are trying to make a few dollars by rebranding products as Zika fighters.

Among them is a Louisiana exterminator who is hawking a $1,678 outdoor mosquito misting system as the “Zika Cube.” Its maker, Katy, Texas-based Pynamite Mosquito Misting Systems, said it didn’t authorize sales of its product under that name and will order the man to stop, though Pynamite’s website does say “effective mosquito control in your yard is the best way to prevent Zika and other mosquito-related diseases.”

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says his office has sent letters to seven companies, telling them to stop marketing products as “Zika-preventive” or “Zika-protective.”

While some companies are using Zika worries to goose sales of products that could prevent mosquito bites, others are claiming benefits far beyond what regulators have verified.

Officials are warning consumers away from ultrasound bug zappers, $20 insecticide-containing wrist and ankle bands such as “Mosquitno,” and “Spotz,” citronella-infused stickers that adhere to clothing and supposedly repel mosquitoes for three days. The Federal Trade Commission this spring fined one wristband maker $300,000 for falsely claiming its bands create a five-foot mosquito barrier protecting wearers for days.

Experts say to stick with what works, like products with DEET. Research by Day, the University of Florida entomologist, found that while repellents approved by federal agencies that contain citronella, lemon eucalyptus oil and other herbal extracts provide some protection, it can last from just a few minutes to an hour or so. In contrast, he found products containing 23.8 percent DEET, such as Off! Deep Woods, can protect against mosquito bites for 3 to 6 hours.

Woman learns she has HIV but refuses to inform her ex Dear Abby : My friend “Camilla” recently learned she is HIV positive.

She became aware of it through a blood test, as she is pregnant. The baby’s father has been tested and he was negative. Her future health is of no concern because the situation is under control. Camilla hasn’t been unfaithful, and it is clear she has been HIV positive for some time.

My issue is, she refuses to contact her previous lover about her condition, even though she likely got it from him. Her ex may have no idea he is positive and may not find out until it is too late.

Abby, I understand her concern and embarrassment, but I think her ex deserves to know. Should I contact him anonymously? I know his name and could find his contact information. I feel strongly that he should know, so he can be tested and go on medication. I would, of course, be doing this behind my friend’s back. –

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Conflicted In The USA Dear Conflicted: I took your question

to Ged Kenslea, director of communications for the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, and this is his response: “At the time of her diagnosis, Camilla should have been urged to contact her previous partners. It’s standard procedure, and not something that a health care worker would just ‘skip’ doing. As well-meaning as the writer is to want to inform Camilla’s previous lover about her condition, it’s not appropriate on an individual level to interfere in this situation.

There are confidentiality as well as safety issues involved that could bring hurt feelings, harm and possible legal liability to those involved in the

disclosure.

“A better option might be to contact the county health department where the individual resides to see if it has the capacity to contact the individual, let that person know there may be a health issue he or she could be facing and urge him/her to get tested and linked to care, if necessary – all without disclosing who contacted the county with that information.”

Dear Abby: My daughters resent my second wife. My first wife died two years ago. When I remarried, it caused some friction with my daughters because they want my house when I die. In my will, should I give the house to my daughters with the stipulation that my present wife can live there for the rest of her life? – Undecided Estate

your wishes in writing. Be sure it’s official, “just in case” your daughters decide they want the house a little early.

Dear Abby: I have worked as an armed guard for the last two years.

Since the beginning, whenever people find out what I do for a living, one of their first comments is, “Wouldn’t it be funny if you got robbed?”

I know these people are being facetious, but it bothers me. I don’t think they would find it funny if I were to joke about shooting them. Is there a polite way to discourage this, or should I just grin, bear it and chuckle?

sure your new wife she’ll have a roof over her head, talk to an attorney who specializes in wills and trusts and put

2 FOOTBALL

PR grad Folliard wants to be even better in senior season at NIU

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Sean Folliard’s 2015 stats seem to tell the story of a junior becoming a starter and having his best season yet with the Northern Illinois University football program.

Folliard, a Prairie Ridge graduate, made 13 starts last season, finished fourth on the team in tackles (84) and led the team in tackles for a loss (8.5). He had three games with double-digit tackles and twice had multiple tackles for loss.

He was the only defender on the team to have at least one sack, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and one interception.

Folliard, however, doesn’t look back on those numbers too fondly.

“Coming out of last year, I wasn’t really happy with my season,” Folliard said Monday at NIU’s Chicago media day at U.S. Cellular Field. “I don’t want to come up with excuses or anything like that but I was a little hurt, a little banged here and there.

“I think (this summer) it was more of just a refocusing, a reevaluation of what my goals are as a player, as a person and just buying into the program again, seeing where my teammates are and just trust. My mentality is just I’m excited to get going, I want to play some football.”

So what did Folliard see that he didn’t like?

“It was a lot (of things). Just going into watching film I just didn’t feel like I was the player I wanted to be,” Folliard said. “I could see just a lot of injury, a lot of illness I wasn’t happy about it. ... Little things, I’m super anal about different things. It’s just the type of person I am, I can’t be happy with what that was.”

Huskies coach Rod Carey said he wasn’t surprised to hear that Folliard was nitpicking his performance last season, he expected as much from the returning starter (one of six on defense).

“I think Sean, like all of us, the real truth is in the details in this game and being focused on the little things,” Carey said. “He’s certainly using those numbers to get down to the finest points.”

Individually, Folliard said he’s been working on “The way I move, the way I work out, the way I think.

I’m just trying to break down the defense and get into a more indepth look at that and where I’m at, how I need to react to certain plays and knowing the other offenses and what they’re going to try to attack us

Carey echoed the idea that for Folliard, the next step of development is in the mental aspects of the game that augment the physical.

“I think he has great instincts and he has great physical ability,” Carey said. “His mental preparation got

good last year, I think it’s even going to take a step forward this year as far as film time, studying tendancies, anticipation, all those things that can help your physical abilities.

“Small things, footwork, hand placement, destruction of blocks, all those things are small details he

wants to get better. He’s good at a lot of those, I think he wants to get better at those things.”

More than anything physical, though, Folliard is trying to be a leader as a senior.

“It’s just a day-to-day thing of me learning what works and how to talk to people and .... it’s a real hard process for me,” Folliard said. “It’s just trying to hold myself to a higher standard and bring people along. That’s kind of what I’ve been trying to do and do it in a respectful way and do it in a way that’s going to encourage and uplift people. ...

“Last year, I definitely had a (leadership) role and this year I’m just trying to step up that role and trying to embrace what the team needs.”

Carey said he thinks Folliard has the qualities to be even more of a leader.

“I think Sean always has had and does have the kind of inate quality that you look for in leadership, which is willing to put themselves out there,” Carey said. “With that he’s also learned to peel back at times and sometimes less is more. I think he’s done a nice job of his maturity in that and I look forward to even more and better leadership from him this year.”

Prairie Ridge’s Sean Folliard defends as Richwoods’ Ryan Moredock can not hang on to a pass in the fourth quarter November 26, 2011 in the IHSA Class 6A final in Champaign.

Prairie Ridge captured a state title with the 35-14 win. about the role of his seniors.

“Just like it is on any other football team in America, it’s no different on ours. If you’re going to be a championship team, your seniors have to play like seniors,” Carey said. “That is the beginning and the end of a championship team. If your seniors do not play their best football as seniors you will not have a championship team.”

The Huskies’ seniors are a close group, Folliard said. NIU is 31-12 over the past three years, reaching the MAC title game and a bowl game each season.

“They’ve played a lot of football,”

Carey said. “They’re probably one of the major reasons, you know, in their time here we lost (the MAC championship) in ‘13, won it in ‘14, lost it in ‘15, so big reason is their group that we’ve been in all those games. I think they understand they want to get back there but they also want to win.”

Folliard, with 169 career tackles in 38 games, has mixed emotions about the beginning of his final season.

“It’s so weird,” Folliard said. “I’m trying to just take it day by day. It’s a scary feeling but I’m trying to enjoy it. I’m living it up with my teammates and just embracing the family that we have. I’m excited about it.”

4 YOUTH BASKETBALL

Krutwig looking to change way youth is trained Algonquin native is owner, coach of Fox Valley branch of Man Up Basketball

By JOHN LAVACCARE

jlavaccare@shawmedia.com Algonquin native Conrad Krutwig has spent the past four years coaching basketball, and last year was his first season as an assistant coach at Jacobs.

Krutwig was a star basketball player at Jacobs during the late 2000s and played college hoops at the Wisconsin-Parkside.

Krutwig, who will turn 26 in September, has noticed some issues with the way youth basketball is taught in McHenry County in his long history playing basketball in the area.

“I think what the area is lacking is, we’re not teaching skills right now,” Krutwig said. “A lot of programs are over-coaching.”

This year, Krutwig will look to change that as the owner and coach of the Fox Valley branch of a new youth basketball training program and travel team, Man Up Basketball.

“My focus is, over-teach and under-coach,” Krutwig said. “Really hammer in the skills that a player needs to work on rather than coming into the gym and running plays for an hour, or stuff

like that. Really focus on over-teaching the kids a specific skill and then stressing to those players that an hour in the gym isn’t going to get it done. You’ve got to go home, you’ve got to work on this thing.”

Man Up Basketball’s programs in the Fox Valley will include training camps and thirdthrough eighth-grade travel teams, with tryouts held in late August.

Practices and camps will Conrad be at gyms in Crystal Krutwig Lake, West Dundee, Algonquin and Cary. All travel teams and camps will be led by Krutwig.

“A lot of these programs, you’ll sign up and you don’t know who’s going to be leading instruction,” Krutwig said.

“The thing with me is, it’s me doing everything. It’s me doing training, coaching your kid in a travel setting. ... I can guarantee you, you know who’s going to be working with your child.”

Aaron London and Mike Weinstein, two veterans of travel basketball coaching, will head up the two other branch-

es of Man Up Basketball. London and Weinstein will lead youth travel teams and camps, and Weinstein will bring his pre-existing Fundamental U high school travel team into the fold. London’s and Weinstein’s programs will be based in the North Shore suburbs. The coaching and operations of the Fox Valley branch will be left entirely up to Krutwig.

London said his intent is to create a tight-knit community in both the North Shore and Fox Valley branches of Man Up Basketball, in contrast with other, larger AAU programs.

Weinstein has coached Krutwig’s younger brother, Cameron, at Fundamental U for the past three years.

Cameron, a senior at Jacobs, recently committed to a basketball scholarship at Loyola. He is one of more than 300 of Weinstein’s former players who have moved on to play in college, according to the Man Up Basketball website.

Weinstein said he sees similarities between the elder Krutwig and himself at a young age, especially in enthusiasm for the game and for teaching young athletes. He explained his belief that Krutwig’s experience will make him a better

coach.

“If you’re a family, and you do your homework, here’s a guy who played Divison I, transferred down to Divison II,” Weinstein said. “Here’s a guy who was a very good high school player. Here’s a guy who coached high school basketball. Here’s a guy who’s already coached some AAU stuff. Here’s a guy who got to see his brother play for a top-12 and watch him develop the right way and pick the right kind of school, because his brother had high-major teams calling him. It wasn’t about name, it was about the best fit. Here’s a guy who wants the best fit, and to do things the right way, which is putting time in in the gym and being honest.”

Krutwig said if his first season goes well, he hopes to expand to other communities in the Fox Valley area.

“I want to turn this into my livelihood,” Krutwig said. “I want to have a future with this, and it’s my passion, so I think right now we’ve just got to take it step-by-step, obviously, and continue to grow. But for me, this is my passion, so … expansion, that’s something that’s a very realistic goal for me.”

BEARS NOTES

Grasu leaves practice with injury that looked ‘fairly serious’

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com CHICAGO – Hroniss Grasu suffered a non-contact injury to his right knee that John Fox referred to as appearing to look “fairly serious” during Saturday’s practice at Soldier Field.

“He was changing direction and it didn’t go well, so we’ll see the extent of it as we go,” Fox said.

The injury occurred right in front of Fox at the end of a play during team drills. Grasu was helped off the field and eventually carted to the locker room. Jay Cutler spent time talking to the second-year center before Grasu was taken in.

The Soldier Field surface did not appear to be in ideal condition.

“You can’t really blame everything on the field,” said Akiem Hicks, who added that it seemed in the “same condition” as his previous experiences playing in Chicago.

Grasu has manned the starting center role throughout the spring and training camp. The 2015 third-round

Photo provided

pick out of Oregon started eight games as a rookie. He had added weight during the offseason and gotten up to 310 pounds.

“I think he’s done a fabulous job and I do believe him. Probably every single day he was doing something to help him be a better football player,” Cutler said Wednesday about Grasu.

“That’s just the type of football player he is. He doesn’t want to let anybody down out there and I’m really happy

with where he’s at. I know the coaches are really happy with where he’s at.

He’s continuing to get better and better as a player.”

The Bears could move guard Ted Larsen to the first-team center role in between Kyle Long and Cody Whitehair. Larsen has taken reps at center with the third team during camp and has 10 career starts at the position in his career. Whitehair is another option.

The No. 2 center during camp has been Cornelius Edison, an undrafted player who spent most of 2015 with the practice squad.

Another scuffle: Larsen was in the middle of yet another scrum, this one in front of the fans during Family Fest and with linebacker Lamin Barrow.

Several players ran onto the field to join the fracas.

“It was disappointing today,” Fox said. “We’re getting too close to games.

You’ve got to be able to control that and not lose control of your emotions.”

Injury update: Alshon Jeffery (hamstring), Eddie Royal (concussion) and Zach Miller (concussion) were present at practice but did not participate.

Kevin White did practice after taking Friday off.

VIEWS Rick Morrissey

• Sunday, August 7, 2016

One of the self-evident truths of the Olympics, besides the absurdity of woefully unprepared host nations being hosts, is the presence of performance-enhancing drugs.

Citius, Altius, Fortius – the Olympic motto – means Faster, Higher, Stronger, to which modern science says, “Would you like that in pill form or as an injection?”

It’s not cynicism that makes some people think the Games are a pharmaceutical sham. It’s a recognition of what has gone on in the past and a knowledge that times continue to be cut and heights cleared by people who shouldn’t be doing so. In some ways, what’s perceived as negativity is protection against getting burned again, the way so many innocents did

by Lance Armstrong in the Tour de France.

On Thursday, the International Olympic Committee revealed the number of Russian athletes it would allow to participate in the Summer Games, despite a widespread, government-led doping program. It was interesting to see how different news organizations chose to interpret the development in their headlines.

CNN.com: “IOC bans 118 of 389 Russian athletes from Rio Olympics after reports of doping.”

Yahoo.com: “IOC approves entry of 271 Russian athletes for Rio de Janeiro Olympics.”

The first headline seems to laud the IOC for a law-and-order approach.

I prefer the second headline, which, if it were given headline truth serum, would read: “What a joke!”

No Russian athlete should be taking part in the Rio Games, given the country’s massive doping scheme and the ensuing cover-up. But the IOC has a backbone with the tensile strength of toothpaste, and thus 271 friggin’ Russian athletes will take part in the Olympics. So much for the IOC’s pledge to hand out the “toughest sanctions available” to Russia.

Now, let’s not be sanctimonious here. The Russian drive to win for the glory of country and at all costs is certainly a huge part of this. But so is the rationalization that “Everybody else is doing drugs, so why shouldn’t we?” That’s not unique to Russia. It’s what pushes many athletes, regardless of country, to cheat.

Armstrong, who won seven straight Tour titles, was certainly right about one thing after he was exposed as a massive fraud: Many of his competitors were using PEDs. He saw the

The difference here is that an entire country cheated, helped along by its scientists and state security. That’s why Russia shouldn’t be anywhere near Rio. (Armstrong would have been best buddies with Russian president Vladimir Putin, another bully who lashes out at everyone who disagrees with him in any way. Where Armstrong used lawsuits to intimidate his detractors, Putin uses prison cells.)

If you don’t want Olympians’ failed drug tests crushing your spirit again and again, I would suggest you assume that a decent number of competitors in track and field have used or are using PEDs. So, too, with swimming.

Weightlifting? You’re kidding, right?

For some reason, the Olympics still have the faintest sheen of purity and amateurism to them, even though both ideals hit the road a long time ago. It’s

why so many people were appalled when Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson turned out to be a steroid cheater of epic proportions and when Irish swimmer Michelle Smith sabotaged her urine samples with alcohol.

Same with baseball. Lots of people were upset when it became apparent that Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Roger Clemens were supplementing their God-given gifts with man-made assistance.

But we’re particular about where we place our indignation. An NFL player tests positive for PEDs, says he unknowingly ingested a banned substance, gets a four-game suspension and returns to a shrugging fan base. Nobody cares. That’s because we expect our football players to be as big and nasty as possible. They’re “warriors” who fight athletic battles. They’re not real warriors, so who cares if their bodies aren’t real,

either? Strange, twisted thinking, but there you are.

PEDs should be rooted out of sports wherever they are. I don’t understand the thinking that athletes should be allowed to put anything in their bodies they want.

Should we take for granted that competitors are cheating? For self-preservation purposes, yes.

Should we allow them to? No way.

It’s not what sports are supposed to be about, and there are too many health concerns.

The IOC says it cares about getting drugs out of the Games, but if that were true, there wouldn’t be a hint of Russia in Rio for the next two weeks.

Instead, the message is clear: The IOC doesn’t care one bit.

Solo comes up big for 200th cap; U.S. beats France, 1-0

By ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press

BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil – Love her or hate her, Hope Solo’s dominance as a goalkeeper is undeniable.

Solo came up big in her historic 200th international appearance as the United States fought off France, 1-0, on Saturday in an Olympic group match at Mineirao Stadium. And she did it while facing boos from Brazilian fans still riled up about her social media posts about the Zika virus.

“What’s important to me is that I played the best quality of football that I can play, and that hopefully our team makes it to the final,” Solo said.

“If they (the fans) are having fun, great. I like a loud stadium. But it really doesn’t mean anything to me.”

Solo became the first goalkeeper, male or female, to reach the 200-cap mark in international play. She also became just the 11th U.S. player to reach that number of appearances.

The U.S. women, winners of last year’s World Cup and ranked No. 1 in the world, are vying for their fourth straight Olympic gold medal. Along with the tournament-opening victory over New Zealand, the United States is in good position for the quarterfinals.

France, ranked No. 3, was considered the Americans’ biggest rival in the group. And they proved a tenacious foe.

Carli Lloyd’s goal finally broke through in the 64th minute against France goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi.

Tobin Heath’s shot caromed off the post and while Bouhaddi struggled to recover, Lloyd tapped in the rebound for her eighth Olympic goal.

“Never forget that the U.S. is the world champion,” French coach Philippe Bergeroo said.

For the first half, it was all Solo.

She tipped Wendie Renard’s header from a free kick off the crossbar in the 16th minute. Her most dramatic stop came in the 41st when Marie-Laure Delie charged in alone and Solo collapsed to her knees to smother the shot.

“She was getting free, and I knew she was going to crack a shot as soon as she saw the goal, so I just tried to close her as quickly as I could. And I as I closed her – some people think

United States’ goalkeeper Hope Solo (left) makes a save as France’s Maire-Laure Delie looks on during a Group G match of the women’s Olympic football tournament between United States and France on Saturday at the Mineirao stadium in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. she went through my legs on purpose because it was the only part that was open because I had her closed down – I don’t really think so, I think she just tried to crack a shot,” Solo said.

The 200th cap was Solo’s latest accomplishment in a 16-year international career.

Last month, she became the first goalkeeper with 100 international shutouts when the United States defeated South Africa, 1-0, at Soldier Field in Chicago. It was also her 150th career win.

Solo won her second straight Golden Glove Award for the best goalkeeper at the Women’s World Cup a year ago. Over the course of the tournament in Canada, she had five clean sheets and allowed only three goals in seven games.

She irked some Brazilians before the games started when she posted a photo of herself decked out in mosquito netting and armed with insecticide, with the caption: “Not sharing this!!! Get your own! (hashtag) zikaproof.” As a result, fans at Mineirao Stadium have booed her every time she touched the ball.

But following Saturday’s match, Solo had apparently turned some of the fans in her favor. While the team was cooling down in the end zone area, the crowd could be heard chanting “Hope! Hope! Hope!”

“I’m just being myself playing soccer,” she said. “They can love me or hate me, I’m just going to continue doing the same things.”

The players said the boos were not a distraction as the team was focused on becoming the first to win at an Olympics following a World Cup title.

U.S. coach Jill Ellis made a couple of changes in her lineup for the match. Whitney Engen came in for defender Julie Johnston, who is out with groin soreness, and Crystal Dunn came in for Mallory Pugh, who hurt an ankle in the opener.

But the most stunning lineup change was made by France, which did not start star Eugenie Le Sommer, who scored in France’s 4-0 victory over Colombia. It was not clear whether Le Sommer was injured.

With the victory, the United States improves to 16-0-1 this year. Lloyd’s goal was her 11th of the year and 90th of her career. She also scored in the opener against New Zealand.

“I think the crowd only gets going when Hope has the ball,” Lloyd said about the atmosphere. “I think they’re having fun with it at this point. They’ll probably go for the whole tournament.”

The United States plays Colombia in its final group match Tuesday in Manaus. France will play New Zealand.

2016 OLYMPICS ROUNDUP

Games begin in full, with U.S. teen on target for 1st gold

By ARNIE STAPLETON The Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO – The Olympics began in full with the first gold medal going to an American teenager by the fearsome name of Thrasher. And there was fear and plenty of rough riding on a punishing cycling course that showed the beauty and blight of the host city.

The men’s 400-meter individual medley is the marquee race in Saturday night’s swimming program even without two of the sport’s biggest stars. Michael Phelps, the world record holder and two-time Olympic champion, dropped the race for his fifth games and defending champ Ryan Lochte didn’t qualify.

Virginia Thrasher, a 19-year-old who once had her heart set on figure skating, captured the 10-meter air rifle Saturday. Greg Van Avermaet of Belgium won the grueling road race that left cyclists tending to scrapes, bruises and road rash.

Riders rolled off to the sound of crashing waves on Copacabana Beach on a steamy morning hours after Brazil’s high-energy opening party featuring thumping funk, sultry samba and supermodel Gisele Bundchen sauntering to the tune of “The Girl from Ipanema.”

Showcasing Rio’s famed beaches and majestic mountains, the men’s road race began under clear, sunny skies buzzing with helicopters – some carrying TV cameras, others

from the military to provide security.

The brutality of the course became evident over the cobblestone sectors that rattled one cyclist off his bike, cost another his chain and forced Tour de France champion Chris Froome to change out his broken bike.

Van Avermaet out-sprinted Jakob Fuglsang and Rafal Majka on the long run to the finish at sun-splashed Copacabana Beach after Italy’s Vincenzo Nibali and Colombia’s Sergio Henao crashed while trying to navigate a corner on the final harrowing descent of the six-hour race.

Thousands of police and soldiers were patrolling the city amid concerns about safety as athletes opened

the first full day of the Olympics in more than 20 sports a day after some spectators at the opening ceremony came upon the body of a man who had been shot dead near Maracana Stadium.

On Saturday, there was a scare during the break at the evening dressage at the Olympic Equestrian Center as a military-looking bullet pierced the roof of the tent and landed on the floor near startled reporters. The competition was not disrupted and nobody was hurt.

Brazilian military and police called it “an unfortunate incident,” one that came shortly after bomb-disposal experts blew up an unattended bag near the finish line of the men’s road cycling race.

8 CUBS 4, ATHLETICS 0

Cubs’ Russell shows A’s cost of going ‘all in’ at the deadline

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

OAKLAND, Calif. – When shortstop Addison Russell got to Oakland this weekend and started reaching base more than 60 percent of the time and turning drives to the hole into outs, he not only helped the Cubs win a series but offered a cautionary tale of going allin at the trade deadline.

Russell, an All-Star starter in his first full season in the majors, has reveled in his first two games against the organization that drafted him 11th overall in 2012 and traded him two years later to the Cubs in a deadline deal for pitchers Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel.

By the time the Cubs were done beating the Athletics, 4-0, on Saturday behind Jake Arrieta, Russell was 4-for-7 with a hit-by-pitch and his 66th RBI in the first two games of the series. ‘‘And his defense has been outstanding,’’ manager Joe Maddon said. ‘‘I don’t think he has any type of chip or vengeance or any kind of ill intent in his heart. But I would imagine that he wants to show them how good [he is], a ‘look at me now’ kind of thing.’’

More than that, Russell has demonstrated the risks of selling out for a single shot at a championship just a week after the Cubs finished walking that same risk-reward tightrope at the deadline.

Like the A’s of 2014, the Cubs were a

Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta works against the Oakland Athletics in the first inning Saturday in Oakland, Calif. postseason favorite as they approached the deadline looking for pitching. Unlike the A’s of 2014, the Cubs resisted the urge to ship Kyle Schwarber to the Yankees for their top target, Andrew Miller.

Instead, they traded their top-ranked prospect, shortstop Gleyber Torres, for rent-a-closer Aroldis Chapman. ‘‘Part of it depends on what you already have to cover,’’ Maddon said. ‘‘Like, if you give up an Addison, do you have another Addison?’’

The Cubs not only had their bigleague version of Torres in the 22-yearold Russell, but they also had 23-yearold Javy Baez, a power-hitting infielder many consider a would-be Gold Glove candidate at multiple positions, including short. ‘‘You get rid of Schwarber, what do you get in return?’’ said Arrieta (13-5),

who was back to Cy Young form with eight scoreless innings for his first victory since June. ‘‘He’s not a guy you want to get rid of.’’

M e a n w h i l e , t h e C u b s ’ a b i l ity to leverage the A’s urgency two years ago provided them with a core player who has been one of the reasons they have the best record in the majors. ‘‘I don’t like to tell people they made mistakes; I have no idea about the GM thing and how difficult that is to do,’’ second baseman Ben Zobrist said. ‘‘In retrospect, Addie’s turned into a great player. ‘‘That’s Addie’s job – to make that look like a bad trade – and he’s doing a good job of that so far.”

A’s GM David Forst said last year his front office had no regrets about the trade, even though the A’s faded down the stretch and were bounced quickly in the American League wild-card game in 2014.

But they don’t have anything close to ‘‘another Addison’’ near the majors as they muddle through a last-place season, making do with Marcus Semien after flipping Samardzija to the White Sox for him a few months later. ‘‘You come from an organization, and you want them to see how much you’ve grown since the last time that they had you,’’ Russell said. ‘‘But I just went out there and tried to play the game that I play.’’

CUBS NOTES

Rookie Contreras could play bigger role in big games down stretch

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

OAKLAND, Calif. – The Cubs’ catching future might be on display against the backdrop of their pennant drive the next eight weeks.

Rookie Willson Contreras, who has been on the bench, in left field or at first base for 13 of the Cubs’ last 18 games, might start getting regular starts behind the plate as soon as the series finale Sunday against the Athletics. ‘‘I want to start getting him back there more consistently,’’ said manager Joe Maddon, who acknowledged that might mean starting him behind the plate three of every five days.

With David Ross locked in as Jon Lester’s personal catcher, that additional playing time would come at the expense of veteran Miguel Montero, who has struggled offensively all sea-

son. Maddon, though, said he has liked Montero’s at-bats more recently. ‘‘And the pop’s in there,’’ Maddon said. ‘‘You don’t want to give up on anybody, man. People get hurt. Things just don’t work out as planned sometimes. You want to keep people engaged, and we’ve been able to do that to this point. It’s a balancing act. There’s a lot of good guys that need to play.’’

Contreras has proved to be high on the list of those players since making his debut June 17, hitting .271 with an .806 OPS and as many home runs (five) as Montero. He also has by far the highest percentage of throwing out would-be base-stealers among the catchers, with more caught stealings (5-for-12, 42 percent) than Montero (2for-50, 4 percent) in a fraction as many chances.

And while his catcher ERA (4.09 in 165 innings caught) is higher than that of the other catchers, it has

White Sox’s Omar Narvaez (right) watches after hitting a one-run single as Baltimore Orioles catcher Caleb Joseph watches on during the seventh inning Saturday in Chicago.

Narvaez’s go-ahead single came long after Sox starter Carlos Rodon was as effective as he has been all season. Yet, despite working six innings when he allowed only five hits, struck out seven and retired 10 straight hitters at one point, the outing wasn’t enough to bring Rodon’s winless streak to an end.

But the bigger win may have come in the quality of the start.

After the Orioles put runners on first and third with nobody out in the first inning, Rodon struck out Machado, Mark Trumbo and Steve Pearce to escape un-

scathed. As he walked off the mound, Rodon allowed some pent-up emotion to escape. In that moment, he understood what how important surviving that gauntlet was in what would be a tightknit game the rest of the way through.

“You see those guys step in the box – one through nine – any of those guys can hurt you,” said Rodon, who hit 100 mph with one his pitches in the first inning.

“That was the mindset. The whole time I had to go full bore at them.”

SOX NOTES

Anderson returns, Eaton to the 3-spot

By JEFF ARNOLD

For the Sun-Times

White Sox rookie shortstop Tim Anderson isn’t particularly fond of days off. But when he couldn’t grip a bat or squeeze his glove Friday after being hit by a pitch on his left hand Thursday, he knew playing wasn’t an option.

One day out of the lineup was enough. Anderson was back in the leadoff spot Saturday against the Orioles with a light wrap on his hand.

“It’s exciting to get back out there,” Anderson said. “I don’t like days off because I feel like it throws me off my rhythm a little bit. But days off can be kind of good sometimes. You get your legs back under you, and you can sit back and take a deep breath.”

Anderson’s return allowed manager Robin Ventura to drop Adam Eaton from the leadoff spot into the 3-hole, behind Melky Cabrera.

Ventura experimented with Eaton batting third Thursday against the Tigers. He went 2-for-4 with an RBI. Ventura wouldn’t say how long he’d leave Eaton in that spot, but he knows Eaton, who entered the game hitting .271, isn’t opposed to it.

“He kind of fancies himself a 3-hole hitter,” Ventura said. “At the top, I have [Anderson], who can run a little bit. You get Melky up there, as well, and you surround those guys with some different people. It also just looks different. And for those guys, they seem to like it, just the way it lines up.”

Anderson had walked twice in 201 at-bats entering the game. Though Ventura doesn’t expect him to start looking for walks immediately, he believes Anderson will develop that aspect in the future.

Anderson, who entered with 59 strikeouts, said his walk-to-strikeout ratio will even out as he matures.

“I’m an aggressive hitter,” he said.

“And I feel like if I get a good pitch to hit, I’m going to swing at it.”

Golden glory With the Summer Games in Rio underway, Ventura recently said he has fond memories of his own Olympic experience. Ventura was part of the 1988 U.S. team that beat Japan in the final in Seoul, South Korea, though baseball was only a demonstration sport at the time.

Baseball hasn’t been a part of the Games since 2008, but it’s set to return in 2020 in Tokyo.

“It was great,” Ventura said.

“You’re a 21-year-old kid that gets to play in the Olympics. All of us hold a soft spot in our heart for that. You win gold and have a lot of friends that you have for life. There’s a lot of stories about stuff we did that hopefully nobody will ever know about, but it was very funny for us.”

• Sunday, August 7, 2016

From the instant the ball left his bat, Omar Narvaez’s biggest concern was more about reaching first base rather than about where the ball actually landed.

Narvaez figured if his bases-loaded blooper down the left field line drifted foul, his bases-loaded at-bat would continue.

If it landed fair, Narvaez knew the U.S. Cellular Field crowd of 28,491 that had risen to its feet throughout the White Sox catcher’s seventh-inning at-bat would let him know.

But when third base umpire Mike Winters ruled Narvaez’s hit that grazed off the glove of Orioles’ third baseman Manny Machado landed in foul territory, Sox manager Robin Ventura knew he had no option but to challenge the ruling.

“That’s a game-changer,” Ventura said.

Turns out, it was.

Video review overturned the call and showed Narvaez’s single kicked up chalk on the foul line. That gave the Sox the lift they needed before Adam Eaton’s solo home run in the eighth inning finished off a 4-2 win over the Orioles Saturday night.

“Whatever they called it, I was fine,” Narvaez said of the overturned call. “I was ready to get another pitch.”

in and executing pitches when it mattered most.

“He has (the fire) – he always has it,” Ventura said. “Sometimes, it’s directed at a water cooler, but he has it.

“He has great stuff. He has the fire and everything that’s in there. You’re just hoping that that gets directed toward home plate and he can throw strikes like that. He had some adrenaline going.”

Pitching behind a 2-0 cushion provided by a Melky Cabrera RBI double and a Tyler Saladino solo home run, Rodon didn’t allow a run until the fourth inning. J.J. Hardy’s two-out RBI double cut the Sox’ lead to 2-1. Rodon gave up an unearned run that tied the game in the sixth when Hardy’s sacrifice fly scored Trumbo following a Tim Anderson error.

But relievers Jacob Turner, Nate Jones (5-2) and closer David Robertson (27th save) kept the Orioles from scoring again.

The Sox loaded the bases in the seventh on singles by Justin Morneau, Todd Frazier and Avisail Garcia. That brought up Narvaez, whose came through with the big hit when the Sox needed it most after they left the bases loaded without adding to their lead.

The video review made sure it stuck.

“There’s always close calls late in the ballgame, where review has either helped us or hurt us,” Eaton said. “But video replay prevailed and we’re happy with it.”

10 PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME

Favre, Dungy, Harrison, Pace, Greene, Stabler enter hall

By BARRY WILNER

The Associated Press

CANTON, Ohio – They came in No. 4 jerseys and wearing cheeseheads. They chanted “Go Pack Go.” It was Lambeau Field transported to Ohio, and only one man could have caused it.

Brett Favre, welcome to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

“Believe me, I am an extremely blessed man,” Favre said Saturday night during an emotional speech spiced with humor and playfulness. “Play a game that I love so much for 20 years, to have all the wonderful things happen ... to share in that joy with you guys here tonight.”

And when he choked up talking about his late father, Irv, and how Favre spent his career “trying to redeem myself” to make Irv proud, the crowd offered loud and comforting support.

Adding that “this is tougher than any third-and-15,” he spoke of his new goal once his father died in 2003: “I said to myself, I will make it to the Hall of Fame so I could acknowledge the fact of how important he was. I would not be here before you today without my father, there’s no doubt whatsoever.”

Football’s most durable quarterback (a record 299 straight regular-season starts and 321 including playoffs) and one of its greatest passers, Favre was the first three-time MVP (1995-97) and an NFL champion in 1996. He played with four teams, defining toughness and fortitude, particularly in 16 seasons with the Packers, a franchise he helped revitalize.

A swashbuckler with no fear on the field – in addition to completing 6,300 passes for 71,838 yards and 508 touchdowns, he threw an NFL-high 336 interceptions – Favre was a three-time All-Pro and made 11 Pro Bowls. His enthusiasm and love for the game marked his career, which began in Atlanta in 1991 and ended with the Vikings in 2010. He spent 2008 with the Jets.

And he just might not be done.

“I am going to ask Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson to let me play the first series tomorrow night,” Favre joked.

Joining Favre in the class of 2016 were Tony Dungy, a trail-blazing coach and Super Bowl winner; one of his stars, Marvin Harrison; Kevin Greene; Orlando Pace; Ken Stabler; Dick Stanfel; and Ed DeBartolo Jr. The first black coach to win an NFL championship, Dungy has been and a mentor to dozens of players and fellow coaches. Instead of concentrating on his role as a pioneer, he paid homage to those before him.

“Many of them never got the chance to move up the coaching ladder like I did,

Former NFL coach and player Tony Dungy (center) takes a photo with former NFL running back Edgerrin James, left, and former members of the Indianapolis Colts teams he coached, with his Hall of Fame bust during an induction ceremony at the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Saturday in Canton, Ohio. but they were so important to the progress in this league,” Dungy said of the 10 African-American assistant coaches in the NFL when he broke in as a player in 1977. “They were role models and mentors for me and my generation ... without those 10 laying the groundwork, the league would not have the 200-plus minority assistant coaches it has today.

“And we would not have had Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy coaching against each other in Super Bowl 41. I feel I am representing those 10 men and all the African-American coaches who came before me in paving the way, and I thank them.”

Dungy led the Indianapolis Colts to the 2006 NFL title. He also has a coaching tree that has featured Mike Tomlin, Herman Edwards, Jim Caldwell, Rod Marinelli, Leslie Frazier and Smith.

A disciple of Hall of Fame coach Chuck Noll, for whom he played on a Super Bowl winner, Dungy went 139-69 in 13 seasons, including 85-27 with the Colts from 2002-08. Before joining Indianapolis, Dungy turned around a perennial loser in Tampa Bay, taking the Buccaneers to the 1999 NFC title game.

“Be uncommon, not just average,” he added before paying tribute to former NFL coach Dennis Green, who recently passed away. “That thought has stuck with me throughout my life.”

Harrison’s 143 receptions in 2002 are an NFL record. He retired in 2008 with 1,102 catches, now third behind Jerry Rice and Tony Gonzalez, 14,608 yards and 128 touchdowns. He had eight consecutive seasons with at least 1,100 yards receiving as Peyton Manning’s prime

target.

Harrison made eight Pro Bowls, was a three-time All-Pro, and missed only 18 games in 13 NFL seasons.

Pace was the blocking cornerstone of the Rams’ Greatest Show on Turf that won the 1999 NFL title. The top overall draft pick in 1997, he helped turn running back Marshall Faulk and quarterback Kurt Warner into NFL MVPs. Like Harrison, he had memories of the Canton shrine, too, recalling visiting the hall when he was 13.

“This occasion marks the fulfilment of each and every goal I have had,” Pace said of his athletic career. “This became my first goal, and here I am 27 years later standing in Canton, Ohio, accepting this incredible honor.”

Always a showman who also spent some time as a professional wrestler, Greene’s 160 career sacks are third most in NFL history. In 15 pro seasons for four franchises, Greene played linebacker and defensive end with an unmitigated spirit.

“The best a football player can do is exhaust his passion, go out on his terms, and on the way having fun kicking people’s butts with his brothers,” Greene said.

In Greene’s time with the Rams, Steelers, 49ers and Panthers he missed just a dozen games, and 10 times finished with at least 10 sacks, including 12 with Carolina at age 37.

“I am standing on the stage with the best ever,” he said, Terrible Towels waving in the crowd, Steelers fans cheering when he mentioned Blitzburgh. “This is pretty cool.”

Greene, whose father and brother served combat missions, drew a standing ovation from his fellow gold jackets and from the fans when he concluded by saluting the armed services.

Nicknamed “Snake” for his elusiveness on and off the field, Stabler helped the Raiders win their first Super Bowl and make it to four other conference championship games in a five-year span. One of the first great left-handed pro QBs, Stabler, who died last year, was elected by the seniors committee.

He was known for some of the biggest plays in Raiders history, including his intentional fumble forward in the closing seconds of a game against San Diego in 1978 that led to a touchdown – the “Holy Roller” play – and to a rule change.

Stanfel, who died last year at age 87, also was a seniors committee selection.

He helped the Detroit Lions win the NFL title in 1952 and ‘53. He earned All-Pro honors five times in his seven-season career, four years with Detroit and three with Washington, before retiring at 31 and going into coaching.

“I think he is the guard of the century,” said his presenter, Hall of Fame coach Marv Levy.

DeBartolo’s 49ers became the first franchise to win five Super Bowls. He was known as much for his compassion and care for people throughout his organization as for building a winning football team.

“To share this stage with these gentlemen is more than humbling. We may be wearing the same jackets, but they have shoes I could never fill.”

PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME GAME

By BARRY WILNER

The Associated Press

• Sunday, August 7, 2016

CANTON, Ohio – Two of the NFL’s top quarterbacks, Aaron Rodgers and Andrew Luck, will be on hand for Sunday’s Hall of Fame game.

The QB who will get the most attention won’t take a snap.

That, of course, will be Brett Favre, who was to be inducted into the pro football shrine on Saturday night. As the featured name in a class of eight, center stage has belonged to the record-setting Favre all weekend.

No one begrudges that. Not the other living inductees: Tony Dungy, Marvin Harrison, Kevin Greene, Orlando Pace and Ed DeBartolo Jr. And certainly not the families of the late Ken Stabler and Dick Stanfel, both of whom were nominated by the seniors committee.

So when Rodgers’ Green Bay Packers – yes, the franchise Favre helped revitalize in the 1990s – and Luck’s Indianapolis Colts, who won the 2007 Super Bowl with Dungy as coach and Harrison as the leading receiver, face off to open the NFL’s preseason, Favre figures to still be in the spotlight.

“I mean, the excitement for me is being a part of the environment to watch Brett and Kevin go in,” said Rodgers, a two-time MVP, one fewer than Favre won. “I don’t know if anybody’s real, real excited about a fifth preseason game, except for the people making the money on that, but it’ll be exciting to be there because there’s so much history and tradition surrounding Canton and the Pro Football Hall of Fame.”

It’s quite possible neither quarterback will play Sunday, particularly Luck. He missed nine games last season with a variety of injuries, including a lacerated kidney. Coach Chuck Pagano said he would wait until game day on Luck.

“I may wake up Sunday morning and decide he may not play,” Pagano said.

There are benefits to benching Luck – it would ensure keeping him healthy.

And there are benefits to letting him get on the field, even briefly.

“Yeah, there are certain things in games that are just hard to replicate in practice,” Luck said. “Whether it’s the crowd noise, an official spotting the ball a certain way, certain types of weather, going against a different defense, having some type of a ‘game plan.’ We don’t game plan for our defense at training camp.

“Bringing the new guys into the fold and seeing what everybody’s game-day demeanor/attitude/body language is, I think is important when you are sort

Some other things to watch for as the exhibition season begins: WHO’S THAT? With so many players on the rosters, rookies, particularly the undrafted kind, and newcomers will seek to get noticed. It’s an excellent opportunity for them to impress not only their own coaching staffs, but to get something on video for the other clubs to see.

So if you’ve never heard of some of the guys blocking or tackling, running or catching, well, there are people throughout the league who barely

know them right now, too.

WHY THEM? After the Hall of Fame class is announced the day before the Super Bowl, the NFL figures out which teams will be the most attractive for the game that accompanies the inductions. This year was easy with Favre, Dungy and Harrison headed into the hall. A year ago, Jerome Bettis and Mick Tingelhoff went in, and the Steelers played the Vikings. In 2014, it was Giants-Bills as Michael Strahan and Andre Reed were inducted.

bition contests, two “lucky” teams get to play five of them instead of four.

“I think the correct answer for us would be, ‘We love it, we’d like to play in it every year,’ “ Packers defensive back Micah Hyde said. “But, me personally, I can’t speak for anybody else in the locker room, five preseason games is tough. Four is tough already, and now we have five.”

But maybe it’s not such a bad thing all around.

“It is worth it for us to play an extra game,” Colts linebacker Robert Mathis said, “to see those guys go into football immortality, so it’s worth it.”

12 GOLF ROUNDUP

Berger takes 3-stroke lead at Travelers The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CROMWELL, Conn. – Daniel Berger birdied seven of his last 10 holes Sunday for an 8-under 62 and a three-stroke lead in the Travelers Championship.

The 23-year-old Floridian, the PGA Tour rookie of the year last season, had just one bogey and was two strokes off the course record. He reached 15-under 195 at TPC River Highlands, following up rounds of 66 and 67 that left him tied for the lead coming into the day.

Russell Knox had a 64, and Russell Henley and Tyrone Van Aswegen each shot 65, to tie for second place at 12 under. Patrick Rodgers shot a 66 and was five strokes off the pace.

Coming off a shoulder injury, Berger is looking for his second career title on the PGA Tour. He won two months ago in Memphis at the St. Jude Classic.

Berger said he first tweaked his left shoulder in Memphis, then strained it at the U.S. Open. The injury forced him to withdraw after

hitting his opening tee shot at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and he didn’t return until last week at the PGA Championship.

3M Championship: A t B l a i n e , Minn., Miguel Angel Jimenez made a 17-foot eagle putt on the par-5 18th hole for a 9-under 63 and the second-round lead in the PGA Tour Champions’ 3M Championship.

The 52-year-old Spanish player had five straight birdies on Nos. 6-10 and also birdied the par-3 17th in good scoring conditions at generous TPC Twins Cities. He had a 14-under 130 total.

Jimenez won in Mississippi in March for his third career PGA Tour Champions victory.

He has 15 regular European Tour victories, the last in the 2014 Spanish Open at a tour-record 50 years, 133 days Kevin Sutherland was a stroke back after a 64. He tied for second last year.

First-round leader Glen Day was 12 under, following his opening 65 with a 67. He played his way into the

field Monday, topping the five qualifiers with a 7-under 64 at nearby Victory Links.

Two-time defending champion Kenny Perry had a 68 to move into a tie for 45th at 3 under.

U.S. Women’s Amateur: At Springfield, Pa., South Korea’s Eun Jeong Seong and Italy’s Virginia Elena Carta set up the first all-international U.S. Women’s Amateur final in 106 years – and guaranteed a rare season sweep.

They each advanced with 2-and-1 victories at Rolling Green.

The 16-year-old Seong beat 18-year-old Mathilda Cappeliez of France, and the 19-year-old Carta topped 15-year-old Yuka Saso of the Philippines.

Seong is trying to complete an unprecedented U.S. Girls’ Junior-Amateur season sweep after winning her second straight Girls’ Junior last month in New Jersey.

Carta is attempting to become the second player to win the tournament and NCAA individual title in the same year.

‘Cuppings’ and $200 grinders reflect growth in high-end segment

By BETH J. HARPAZ The Associated Press

Get ready for the next wave of coffee culture. Consumers are learning more about coffee – how it’s grown, roasted and prepared. They’re attending tastings called cuppings and they’re being asked to drink fine coffee black to experience its true flavors. They’re also spending more for gourmet beans and fancy grinders.

“Coffee in many ways is now being treated as a very fine ingredient that requires a tremendous amount of care and stewardship from seed to cup,” said Nick Brown, editor of Roast magazine’s Daily Coffee News, noting “tremendous growth in the high-end, upscale, specialty coffee segment.”

While some say the trend is part of the farm-to-table movement, others compare the shift in coffee to wine and beer consumption. Wine tastings once were mocked as the province of snobbish elites, while beer brewery tours were a novelty. But now wine bars, trails and tasting rooms are ubiquitous, as are brew pubs, microbreweries and craft beer.

“The more varieties consumers become aware of, the more they want,” National Coffee Association spokesman Joe DeRupo said. “People are eager for anything and everything new. They are accumulating the knowledge and sophisticated tastes that come with that knowledge.”

While coffee consumption overall has declined slightly in the U.S. in recent years, 31 percent of Americans say they drink specialty coffee daily, and 45 percent drink it each week, according to the Specialty Coffee Association of America.

Cream in your coffee? Not so fast!

Semilla is an 18-seat restaurant in Brooklyn, New York, known for its adventurous, “vegetable-forward” $85 tasting menu. As each dish is served, the staff provides information about ingredients and preparation. What they don’t provide is milk and sugar for coffee.

“If somebody of their own volition asks, ‘Could I get milk and sugar?’ of course we provide it,” said Gabriela Acero, Semilla’s maître d’. “That’s their personal preference. But generally the way I phrase it is, ‘If you’re willing, I’d ask you to try the coffee without that and let me know what you think.’ I would say 90 to 95 percent find they don’t need milk and sugar.”

Milk and sugar, she added, are used to “mask coffee that’s bitter or over-extracted.” Semilla’s coffee comes from a small

The free public cuppings are a way to educate consumers about how the coffee the Parlor sells is grown, roasted and prepared, and to teach coffee drinkers to appreciate its subtle flavors. in the 1990s followed by artisanal retailers like Blue Bottle, now a small chain, “supporting and celebrating the coffee producers.” Those waves paved the way for a marketplace where some consumers are “willing to spend $5 on a cup of coffee or $20 on a bag of coffee.”

Grinder glitz and the coffee journey

This photo provided by Baratza shows a Baratza Virtuoso coffee grinder, which sells for about $220.

Brooklyn roaster called Parlor Coffee.

Parlor’s business is mostly wholesale, but the company also hosts cuppings for the public: twice-weekly free tastings featuring a half-dozen coffees, served black with spoons for slurping and spit cups for those worried about caffeine. At a recent cupping, tasting room manager Peter Higgins pointed out hints of “candied peaches and raspberries” in Kenyan coffee; “floral, like black tea or bergamot” flavors in an Ethiopian brew; and “dense, chocolatey” notes in a Guatemalan blend.

Parlor’s founder, Dillon Edwards, says the “niche world of micro roasters” to which Parlor belongs is viable thanks to what came before: the Starbucks boom

Are you proud of grinding beans fresh each morning at home? If you’re using a $10 or $20 electric grinder, experts say you’re better off using a bag of coffee ground at the store. That’s because inexpensive blade grinders don’t grind beans evenly. You end up with different size particles, resulting in an uneven extraction that damages subtle flavors.

Mavens recommend burr grinders instead. Burrs are rough metal parts that crush beans uniformly. But even gourmet coffee lovers may be taken aback by the price tag. Popular burr grinders include the Capresso Infinity Die-Cast, $150, and the Baratza Encore, $130, while Baratza’s vaunted Virtuoso model runs $220.

“People are upping their game,” Baratza co-founder Kyra Kennedy said.

“They want to taste the flavors and learn about that.”

Baratza has been growing about 30 percent a year for the past five years and sold 80,000 grinders last year. But the challenge for Baratza and others riding this latest wave of coffee culture is to make sure the focus on quality doesn’t come off as effete or snobby.

“Coffee is a journey,” Kennedy said.

“The baristas and the specialty coffee world have been made fun of for being elitists. So we are very sensitive.”

THE LURE OF HISTORY

Historical Society Museum welcomes Pokémon Go players with free admission NORTHWEST HERALD UNION – Looking to draw younger patrons, the McHenry County Historical Society Museum has embraced the Pokémon Go phenomen.

The museum is offering free admission to players from 1 to 4 p.m. Aug. 11 at the museum campus, 6422 Main St., Union.

Pokémon Go, the new smartphone phenomenon that requires players to walk and explore neighborhoods near and far in order to secure a roster of Pokémon characters, has ties to many historical buildings. So it peeked the interest of those at the McHenry County Historical Society museum and at museums elsewhere.

BELOW: “Elementary Follies” director Nancy Fike of McHenry watches a July 27 dress rehearsal.

Fike wrote the play, fashioned after an old-time school pageant.

‘An absolute hoot’

Public figures to play school children in Historical Society fundraiser

I

Story by JAMI KUNZER – jkunzer@shawmedia.com • Photos by JOHN KONSTANTARAS – For Shaw Media

f Nancy Fike’s involved in a fundraising effort, two things likely are guaranteed.

It’ll involve history and laughing.

That’s definitely the case with the retired McHenry County Historical Society administrator’s latest effort. Fike has written and will direct “Elementary Follies,” a play depicting a school pageant in 1936 celebrating McHenry County’s 100th birthday.

The catch? Community leaders and area public figures will play the young school children, as well as the rest of the production’s roughly 25-member cast.

“It should be an absolute hoot,” said Fike, who retired as Historical Society administrator in 2012 after more than three decades at the museum, having started there as a volunteer in her 20s with a passion for history.

Some of those she called upon to help out – all “people other people would want to come and see” – she’d never spoken to before.

“They were very gracious,” she said. “Most of them got out of their comfort zone to do this. The only thing I promised them was it was a musical, but they wouldn’t have to sing and dance or memorize anything.”

(Only a couple of those involved – the narrators,

mostly – actually had to memorize some lines. And one couple will do The Charleston.)

In the show, the school children will put on a pageant covering three periods of history – from the days of the pioneers to the Civil War and life at the end of the 19th century to the mid 1930s.

Among those participating are Marengo attorney Herb Franks, Woodstock Police Chief John Lieb, Huntley District 158 Superintendant John Burkey, McHenry County Board member Sue Draffkorn, Alden Township Supervisor Preston Rea, Fox River Grove Village President

Bob Nunamaker, Woodstock City Planner Nancy Baker, Realtor Dave Gelwicks, former McHenry Mayor Bill Busse and current Marengo Mayor Don Lockhart.

Basically, the play will offer a historical retrospective of what likely did take place in a one-room school house in Depression-era 1936 during the county’s centennial celebration.

“They were doing hometown talent, and everybody was pitching in,” Fike said of the celebrations back then. “It was very much a community thing.

This would be the type of thing that would have been done.”

It didn’t take much for Franks, who plays a school board president in the production (and gets to read from pieces of paper he pulls out of his pocket), to agree.

“It keeps it in front of the public eye, which is important,” Franks said of the historical society and its efforts.

As an attorney, he said he actually was involved in the sale of the museum building to the Historical Society years ago. He said he’s been a proponent of the historical society’s efforts since its beginnings.

“We need to know where we come from to know where we’re going,” he said. “I’m so pleased she [Fike] asked me. … and we’re going to have some fun.”

With admission at $10 a person, the play – scheduled for 7 p.m. Aug. 12 and 2 p.m. Aug. 14 in the McHenry County Historical Society Museum, 6422 Main St., Union – will raise money for the restoration of the 1867 Pringle School on River Road in Marengo. For information or to buy tickets, visit www.gothistory.org or call 815-923-2267.

Limited seating is available for both performances. Audience members will participate, playing the roles of aunts, uncles, grandparents, sisters, brothers and other family members watching the pageant, Fike said, with actors in the audience getting the rest of the audience involved.

“This is not a $150-plate swanky dinner deal,” she said. “We’re not going to make a fortune… but we’re sure doing a lot of laughing.”

Fike actually thought of the idea based on a scene toward the end of the 1962 film “To Kill a Mockingbird” in which children put on a pageant to feature the products of their county, and Scout plays a ham.

“Here’s my philosophy,” Fike said. “Fundraising should be tied to your mission. A golf outing is not tied to our mission. Doing something along the lines we’re doing definitely is. It is for the preservation of a oneroom school... It was just too good a deal to pass up.”

One of just three limestone structures in McHenry County, the Pringle School was built in Garden Prairie, later transported by wagon to River Road in Marengo and acquired by the Historical Society in 2002. Children of Scottish settlers attended the school with enrollment fluctuating between 10 and 25 students until the 1940s.

The school’s foyer and adjoining storage/cloakroom area is in need of repair.

Valid thru 8/31/16.

By KATHERINE ROTH The Associated Press

The start of the school year doesn’t have to mean the end of time outdoors.

Many parents, teachers and schools are finding ways to keep kids connected to nature all year.

“It may be even more important for kids to be connected to nature during the school year than just in the summer,” said Richard Louv, author of the new “Vitamin N: The Essential Guide to a Nature-Rich Life” (Algonquin Books) and the best-selling “Last Child in the Woods” (Algonquin, 2008).

“Amid all the focus on technology, we’ve been missing something quite elemental,” Louv said.

Just a walk through an urban park, he said, can help kids’ performance in school. “I can’t tell you how many times teachers who bring their classes into natural settings say that the troublemaker in class is the very one that turns out to have leadership qualities in the woods,” he said.

Sarah Milligan-Toffler, executive director of the Children and Nature Network, a Minneapolis-based nonprofit, said getting kids connected to nature doesn’t have to mean a major outing.

“There is something about natural

environments that is really stress-reducing,” she said, “even if it’s just 10 minutes a day in a neighborhood park or planting a pollinator garden.”

Many botanical gardens, parks and nature centers offer after-school and weekend programs, and are helping schools bring environmental awareness into the classroom, too.

Schools in Mamaroneck, New York, for example, have worked with a local nature preserve in the past few years to get kids from preschool to high school outside for science, said the district’s assistant superintendent for curriculum, Annie Ward.

“I know we’re in a time of standards, and so forth, but how do we help kids grow up with a sense of place, of regional identity?” she said. “Especially now, with all these issues being talked about – the rise of technology, of kids being hyper-scheduled – there’s particular power in being outside, in being close, careful observers of the natural world.

There’s a sense of calm and a sense of being unplugged.”

Naturalists come to school and prepare kids and teachers for field trips, Ward said.

Nationally, a federal program, Every Kid in the Park, offers free admission to national parks and other public lands

to the families of all fourth-graders.

And many schools are beginning to realize the value of green schoolyards or gardens.

“Schools are public lands accessible to children, and too often the yards consist of a blacktop that’s locked up at night,” Milligan-Toffler said.

Louv’s latest book outlines ways families can advocate for more green space in schools and form networks of families interested in getting outdoors.

Particularly for older kids, outings are more enticing if their peers go, too.

For parents looking for places to go

Sunday Sept 18th

as a family, Nature Rocks, a program of the Nature Conservancy, has a website where you plug in your location and the weather, and it will list ideas.

The Children and Nature Network also lists on its website groups interested in getting outdoors.

Louv notes kids don’t need to come inside just because of cold or rain; they just need to dress accordingly. And even when kids are stuck indoors, they can start a windowsill garden or put together an aquarium or terrarium.

“It isn’t about going back to nature, but forward,” he said.

HANDMADE SUGAR SCRUB CUBES EXFOLIATE SKIN

By HOLLY RAMER The Associated Press

Summer quickly is progressing, but there’s still time for another quick beach trip or two. And if you’re showing some skin, keep it smooth and exfoliated with handmade sugar scrub cubes that take just minutes to whip up.

Sure, combining sugar, oil and fragrance in a jar would be even easier, but taking a bit more time to mold the mixture into solid cubes or bars means the result is easier to use.

No scooping a messy scrub out of a slippery jar in the shower. Just grab a cube and rub.

I tested three tutorials I found online that all use melt-and-pour soap base to bind various ingredients together. Though they differed slightly, the basic steps were the same: Melt the soap, stir in the sugar and fragrance and pour into a silicone mold.

The mixture hardens quickly, and the finished cubes can be popped out of the molds after a few hours.

Most of the ingredients were available at the grocery store, though I bought the mold at a craft store and the essential oils used as fragrance at a health food store.

Olive Oil and Brown Sugar

Here’s what I found, with each method rated from 1 to 10, with 10 indicating the least expensive, easiest and best results:

Coconut Oil and Peppermint

I expected the coconut oil in this version to smell like, well, coconut, but it really had very little aroma.

The tutorial I found on the “Happy Mothering” blog called for red mica colorant, but I used soap coloring from the craft store instead. Apparently, I didn’t use enough, because in-

combines almond oil, sugar and orange essential oil for fragrance.

It also includes an extra ingredient: ground coffee, which is said to temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite. If nothing else, it adds a nice aroma and extra exfoliation. Of the three, these cubes felt the most abrasive. And the coffee creates a nice speckled effect.

stead of having pretty, light and dark pink cubes like those pictured in the tutorial, mine were barely colored.

Having to buy something to color the cubes meant an added expense, but of the three versions, I think this left my skin the softest.

Almond Oil and Coffee

This version, found on a blog called “A Pumpkin & A Princess,”

These cubes aren’t as visually appealing as the other two – they’re sort of a bland brownish color.

But the brown sugar smells great, especially combined with a bit of vanilla fragrance. I also liked that this tutorial, on a blog called “A Cultivated Nest,” recommended waiting a few minutes before adding the sugar to the melted soap so less of the sugar would dissolve.

And compared to the other versions, you’re more likely to already have this oil – olive oil – in your kitchen cabinet.

Grinning and bearing the heat together There is something tribal about an outdoor art show. Last weekend – one of the hottest on record – I and 19 or so other artists and musicians participated in Art on the Prairie, a show set in the jewel of a prairie in Marengo. It should have been a beautiful experience for the artists and the attendees alike – and it was, but not for the reasons one might think.

For in that life-threatening heat, I saw a microcosm of our planet, and the gamut of human behavior in a crisis situation. For it was a crisis – no doubt about that. The heat index was higher than 100 degrees, and we slowly were being roasted in our own juices. And yet, something wonderful unfolded.

One woman shared her misting spray – another, her coconut water.

People spent their last ounce of energy helping others put up their displays, problem-solving the mysteries of popup shelters and volunteering to watch other’s exhibits so they could take turns going inside for a brief cooling

and to use the bathroom. There was a great deal of laughter at the uncomfortable plight we all shared.

There were notable exceptions, of course, as there always are in human interactions. Some people were rude and demanding. Some people complained, as if the organizers had somehow failed to correctly manage the weather.

As a therapist, I observed the following: We were all in the exact same situation, and yet, some people were laughing, bonding, strengthening relationships with one another and somehow surviving with their humanity intact. Others were distancing themselves, avoiding physical contact and responding to attempts to include them with complaints and sighs. Those people did not share and did not laugh.

When they left at the end of the day, they did not help one another and did not receive help in packing up their displays.

It was clear to me one group was living inside a different narrative than

10K & HALF MARATHON Saturday October 1 2016 register online:

www.SignMeUp.com/113504

the other group. One group was plucky and heroic – the other, victimized and surly. One group felt personally outraged, as if the universe had failed to treat them with respect. When it rained at the end of the first afternoon, one group welcomed the cooling down, while the other group groaned that now nobody would come to buy.

As a cognitive therapist, I recognized the following cognitive distortions: catastrophizing, all or nothing thinking and personalizing.

These are the same distortions I see in my clients and are the reasons they come into therapy, even if they do not know that at the time. Many of my clients – as well as some of my friends – believe if they are unhappy, someone else is to blame. They complain of their husband’s lack of regard, their wife’s nagging, their parents’ demands. And, while all of those complaints have validity, those are not the reasons my clients (and friends) are unhappy. To paraphrase Shakespeare, “The fault, dear

Brutus, lies not in our peers, but in ourselves that we are miserable.”

The way we think about a situation is the cause of our suffering.

Last night on the news I watched a concert-goer complaining about a girl who was playing Pokemon Go while Beyoncé was singing. He complained and commented about and recorded her waste of good tickets, how she was missing the concert, etc. and, as he was doing so, missed the concert himself.

In closing, I suggest the following – remember life is short and the universe does not play favorites and does not send the storm to rain on your parade.

All parades get rained on, in time. If it is too hot today, maybe next weekend will be cooler. And we are all in this together, so help out!

Questions? Visit northwestcommunitycounseling.com

Parents must accept the fact their son is ill “Where’s the cash I laid on my dresser?” Dad yells down the stairs.

“I dunno, where’d ya put it?” Mom yells back up to him as she bustles around the kitchen trying to burn a piece of toast so she won’t starve this morning at work.

“Feed the dogs,” she thinks. “Don’t forget to pick up the newspaper on the way out,” she mumbles to herself.

“Maybe I’ll get to read on the train.”

“Oh my God,” she says under her breath. “You don’t think Keith took it, do you?” she almost whispers.

She hates herself for even thinking their oldest son could have stolen from them but she doesn’t relish the idea of being played for a fool again.

After his first rehab and a short stint

on the street, they agreed to take him back in as the weather worsened, if – and only if – he would promise to do a few simple things. He had promised to keep regular hours: he hadn’t. He had promised to get a job: he did, but got fired within the first two months. He promised to go to counseling: he did, but was a less than stellar performer and had flunked at least one drug test she knew of.

The house was on virtual lockdown with bedroom doors closed and locked most of the time, purses hidden, wallets stashed. Valuables already disappeared and reappeared at pawn shops and friends’ houses.

“I forgot to lock the bedroom last night,” Dad sighs. “Of course Keith

took it. If he’s home he’s probably in bed. Let’s search his room.”

“Why bother?” Mom says. “What are we going to do if we find anything? We already know what’s happening.”

At dinner that night Keith denies everything and storms out angrily, a familiar pattern to both parents.

At one time Mom and Dad were at opposite ends of the spectrum, Mom solicitous and protective, Dad angry and righteous. Now they’re both so scared for Keith a certain numbness or detachment has taken over.

Dad never was willing to go to counseling, but now he’s leading the charge. They still desperately want to help Keith but have slowly begun to

SM-CL0378656

find a grudging acceptance of the fact their son is very ill and any changes, at least right now, will be on them.

They’ve stopped blaming themselves and, for the most part, each other. Al-Anon and Families Anonymous have helped. They still find themselves debating about whether to “kick him out,” but both know even if they do, they still have to deal with their own feelings.
