Centegra overcomes obstacles to open Huntley hospital at last

Congratulations to Centegra Health System and the village of Huntley.

After years of planning, bureaucracy, legal battles, construction and more, the new Centegra Hospital – Huntley is fully operational.

The 384,000-square-foot, 128-bed facility opened Tuesday at its Haligus Road campus in Huntley, but not without a surprise. You can read more about that surprise in reporter Nate Linhart’s story on page A3 today.

Centegra – Huntley’s opening is a win for McHenry County overall, especially for residents in the southern end of the county and northern Kane County. It employs about 400 people and will be a boon both to the economy and to the state of health care in the area.

It didn’t come without its share of obstacles, however.

In order to break ground, Centegra officials had to work their way through Illinois’ antiquated certificate-of-need process – health care providers must first get state approval to build or expand.

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Dan McCaleb

The hospital initially was rejected by the state, but finally was approved in summer 2012.

Then came the legal challenges. Centegra’s competitors filed separate requests seeking an administrative review of the state’s approval.

In late 2013, an Illinois judge ruled in favor of Centegra, setting the stage for Tuesday’s official opening.

So while the road wasn’t easy, overcoming the many challenges sure did pay off.

Congratulations, again, to everyone who made it happen.

The Marengo City Council approved two documents on Monday laying out what is expected from the city and McHenry County as the proposed Route 23 and Interstate 90 interchange project moves forward.

The city of Marengo is hoping to know by early September whether the county is committed to funding the next step. The interchange would be the first in McHenry County. See story, page A6

The board for the Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County has selected a new executive director. Leslie Coen replaces former Executive Director Abby Frederick, who stepped down Aug. 1.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Elvis Presley used to dream about building a guest house at his Graceland property, for friends who would visit the rock ’n’ roll icon in Memphis.

Presley didn’t get to see his dream come true, but his fans will.

The Guest House at Graceland is a six-story, 450-room hotel, opening Oct. 27 just steps from Presley’s former home. The exterior, with columns, arches and a portico, evokes the feel of a comfortable Southern Colonial home, but the interior design and amenities are modern.

Presley died on Aug. 16, 1977, and Graceland was eventually turned into a museum. Priscilla Presley, the singer’s former wife and a caretaker of his legacy, said Elvis had made plans to build a guest house at Graceland as far back as 1960.

Centegra’s state-of-the-art facility opens early for woman in labor

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Centegra Hospital – Huntley was scheduled to open at 7 a.m.

Tuesday, but in an unexpected turn, its doors opened about a half-hour early for its first patient.

About 6:20 a.m., staff members of the new hospital went outside to take photos before the new facility in Huntley officially opened to the public. While getting ready to take photos, they received a call that Hampshire resident Heather Doty was in labor and on her way there.

When Doty and her family arrived, the hospital staff immediately left the

photo opportunity and rushed Doty into the facility to help deliver her baby.

“It was such a great thing that the hospital was ready for us, even before it officially opened,” Doty said. “We were originally planning to have our baby at the McHenry Centegra hospital, but this is just so much more convenient since we live 15 minutes away from here.”

Doty gave birth to her fourth child, Gianna, at 7:02 a.m., just two minutes after the hospital officially opened its doors.

The new, 128-bed facility in Huntley, at 10400 Haligus Road, is only the third new hospital in Illinois to open

in more than 35 years. It features a state-of-the-art design with soundproof floors, a made-to-order cafeteria and an enclosed garage for ambulances.

Chief Nursing Officer Peggy Norton-Rosko said the hospital was designed with a focus on patient privacy.

“One of the great features of this hospital is that we have all private rooms,” Norton-Rosko said. “And we have worked really hard to make the design easy for the patient experience, both with privacy and a quiet, healing environment.”

Centegra originally bought the 110-acre property in August 2006 with the purpose of creating a campus that would bring modern health care to the

community. In 2010, Centegra Health System filed an application for a Certificate of Need with the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board to build an acute care facility in Huntley. After an initial denial, the board eventually approved the Certificate of Need, and Centegra broke ground on the new hospital in February 2014 with a $233 million budget.

“The campus is unique because it’s right in the middle of a community, and it really has tremendous access points for not only the community members, but also police, fire [departments] and ambulances,” Centegra Health System

Patti Blagojevich (left), wife of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, speaks Tuesday at the federal courthouse in Chicago after U.S. District Judge James Zagel resentenced Blagojevich to his original 14-year term.

Judge denies ex-governor’s bid to lighten 14-year sentence

By MICHAEL TARM and SARA BURNETT The Associated Press

CHICAGO – A federal judge on Tuesday refused to lighten Rod Blagojevich’s original 14-year prison sentence for corruption, rejecting pleas for leniency by the now-white-haired former Illinois governor who attended the resentencing hearing by video from a Colorado prison a thousand miles away.

Blagojevich, 59, was eligible for resentencing after an appeals court last year threw out several convictions related to his alleged attempt to sell or trade an appointment to President Barack Obama’s old U.S. Senate seat.

A somber, contrite Blagojevich spoke for 20 minutes in a sometimes apologetic, sometimes rambling statement before U.S. District Judge James Zagel announced the sentence, telling the court he understood he made mistakes.

“I wish I could turn back the clock and make different choices,” said Blagojevich, who didn’t use notes. “These have been hard years.”

Zagel said that even though the appeals court threw out five of the 18 counts

“I wish I could turn back the clock and make different choices.

These have been hard years.”

Rod Blagojevich

Former Illinois governor against the former governor, the remaining ones still justified the original sentence. The appeals court said in its ruling last year that Blagojevich wasn’t necessarily entitled to a lower sentence, adding that the 14-year term fell below what federal guidelines recommended.

As the judge announced his decision, Blagojevich could be seen on screen bowing his head. In the courtroom, his two daughters sobbed, the younger one placing her head on her mother, Patti’s, shoulder.

The one-time contestant on Donald Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice” reality show wanted Zagel to sharply reduce his sentence to just five years, which would have meant him going free within months.

Instead, with the 14-year term reaffirmed, his projected release date remains 2024, which includes two years’ credit for good

behavior.

Zagel said he went through more than 100 letters from fellow prisoners. Many portrayed Blagojevich – known as brash in his days as governor – as humble and self-effacing, as well as an insightful life coach and lecturer on everything from the Civil War to Richard Nixon.

But Zagel said they had not seen the same evidence jurors saw of Blagojevich’s corruption.

Defense lawyers said Blagojevich has been a model prisoner, noting in one filing how the Elvis Presley fan formed a prison band called “The Jailhouse Rockers.”

The group, which had a 21-song play list, dissolved after another inmate, the lead guitarist, was released.

Zagel told Tuesday’s hearing that Blagojevich’s exemplary behavior behind bars wasn’t relevant to deciding on an appropriate punishment.

The resentencing, where attendees could see Blagojevich on several screens around the courtroom, marked Blagojevich’s first appearance in a public forum since entering prison.

Marengo awaits County Board decision on interchange funds

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com MARENGO – The city of Marengo hopes to know by early September whether McHenry County is committed to funding the next step of the proposed Route 23 and Interstate 90 interchange project.

Two documents approved by the Marengo City Council on Monday – a memorandum of understanding and an intergovernmental agreement between the city and county – lay out what is expected from the city and county as the project moves forward.

“If all goes successfully a month from now, our community will have a chance to have a very positive future,” Marengo City Administrator Gary Boden said Tuesday.

The interchange would be the first in the county, and could bring in between $538 million and more than $1.7 billion in economic impact from new jobs for McHenry County, according to a recent analysis.

The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority is expected to pay 50 percent of ramp construction and existing bridge replacement, and 50 percent of the bridge expansion from three to five lanes, according to the memorandum of understanding.

• BLAGOJEVICH

Continued from page A4

Blagojevich was famously fastidious about his dark hair as governor, but it went all white because hair dyes are banned in prison. He sat in a chair during the two-hour hearing in bluegreen prison garb with a nametag with his Inmate No. 40892-424 on his shirt.

Other than his hair, the avid runner who has continued to exercise behind bars looked fit.

Subdued for much of the hearing, Blagojevich wiped tears from his eyes when his daughters, 13-year-old Annie and 20-year-old Amy, made statements in court. Annie, an aspiring pianist, described how much her father had missed of her childhood, saying she could only play “Mary Had a Little Lamb” when she last saw him at home, but has since begun playing Beethoven.

“I don’t want to grow up, because I want to wait for him to come home,” she said.

Prosecutors urged Zagel to impose the same 14-year prison term – one of the stiffest sentences for corruption in Illinois history, arguing that would

“If all goes successfully a month from now, our community will have a chance to have a very positive future.”

Gary Boden

Marengo city administrator The remaining 50 percent will be split between the Illinois Department of Transportation and local sources, primarily McHenry County, Boden said.

He said the city has spent about $350,000 on the project’s planning efforts and annexation costs.

The memorandum also calls on the city to continue to work on land acquisition for properties related to the interchange and ramps, aggressively market the industrial and appropriate commercial opportunities in the area and work with the county to help recoup some of its investment based on development opportunities that are established, Boden said.

McHenry County is being asked to commit about $2.7 million to finish engineering work for the interchange under the intergovernmental agreement, Boden said. Phase three engineering

“I’m dumbfounded and flabbergasted at the inability for the judge to see that things are different than they were 4½ years ago and his unwillingness to bestow even the smallest amount of leniency or mercy or kindness.”

Patti Blagojevich

Wife of former governor Rod Blagojevich send a message to would-be corrupt politicians in a state where four of the last 10 governors have ended up in prison.

Speaking at the hearing Tuesday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Debra Bonamici countered the notion that Blagojevich is a fundamentally changed man, noting how he has expressed remorse for having made “mistakes” rather than for “committing crimes.”

“He really is the same man who appeared before you in 2011,” she said.

Bonamici conceded that seeing Blagojevich’s kids in court was “heart-

and construction engineering will be completed by the tollway authority, he said.

Discussion lasted for about 10 minutes at Monday’s meeting, with Alderman Dennis Hammortree primarily questioning the city’s marketing efforts and why no federal funds were being used for the project.

Boden said some businesses have already reached out to him, and there will be more marketing efforts once funding for the project is committed.

City Engineer Tim Hartnett said the tollway authority does not use federal funds, and the city expects the project will completed faster without applying for federal money.

“We believe with the support of the county, and with IDOT and with what the tollway’s offering, we can accomplish everything by 2019 or 2020 without using federal funds,” Hartnett said.

All council members voted yes for the two documents, except for Hammortree. Alderwoman Nicole DeBoer was absent.

The memorandum and intergovernmental agreement will be reviewed

by McHenry County’s transportation and finance committees before coming before the County Board at its Sept. 6 meeting, Boden said. breaking,” but added, “we can’t forget the people of Illinois. They were the victims of his crimes.”

Blagojevich’s wife told reporters outside court that the resentencing was “cruel and heartless and unfair.”

“I’m dumbfounded and flabbergasted at the inability for the judge to see that things are different than they were 4½ years ago and his unwillingness to bestow even the smallest amount of leniency or mercy or kindness,” Patti Blagojevich said.

The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last year tossed convictions tied to Blagojevich’s bid to win a White House appointment for appointing someone to Obama’s U.S. Senate seat. It upheld his convictions on allegations that he tried to swap the Senate appointment for campaign cash, finding that trading one job appointment for another does not break the law.

After the appellate court’s finding, Blagojevich appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court to toss his remaining convictions, including one for trying to extort a children’s hospital for a campaign contribution and lying to the FBI. But the high court refused to hear the longshot appeal.

“We had to go and buy a new one because the cook-off was going on, and we didn’t have a grand prize,” Baggio said.

Tonyan said Bjorkman’s Ace Hardware in McHenry offered a discount for the replacement grill. Although the event once again had a grand prize to award, the Blues, Brews and BBQ’s Facebook page alerted fans of what had transpired. The post was shared more than 32 times and received comments

“We were all very disappointed Sunday morning. We’re just thankful to the person that returned it.”

But on Monday, the grill found its way back to the event’s location. Tonyan received a call from McHenry police around 9:30 p.m. alerting him of the grill’s return.

“We were all very disappointed Sunday morning,” Tonyan said. “We’re just thankful to the person that returned it.”

Since then, the Facebook update announcing the good news has received 115 reactions. As for the extra grill, the McHenry Rotary Club plans to award it to next year’s champion.

McHENRY – The bitter ending to the McHenry Rotary’s Blues, Brews and BBQ’s event has been rectified, putting a better taste in the mouths of all involved.

On Sunday – the last day of the event – the grand prize for the Amateur BBQ Cook Off, a Weber Performer Ultimate grill, was nowhere to be found. The green grill was donated by Rotary member Phillip Baggio.

“We were upset. It was unfortunate that someone took a prize for a charity event,” said Don Tonyan, co-chairman for the Blues, Brews and BBQ’s event.

Upon arriving Sunday morning, Donna Schaefer recalled Baggio asking her where the grill was. Knowing that the grand prize was large, it seemed unlikely that the grill was misplaced.

“We were just kind of looking at each other saying, ‘How could that hap-

Lakewood residents to weigh in with advisory tax question on Nov. 8 ballot

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com LAKEWOOD – Village voters will have a symbolic opportunity on the Nov. 8 ballot to give their local governments a piece of their mind about property tax increases.

Village Trustee Paul Serwatka and a group of volunteers submitted petitions for an advisory referendum asking whether taxing bodies with any boundaries in the village should be required to seek voter approval by referendum if they want to increase their levy.

Under the tax cap law, governments do not have to go to referendum to raise taxes within the annual rate of inflation as defined by the Illinois Department of Revenue.

Serwatka, who has called for lower taxes and tax reform since entering county politics, said he wanted to give residents another voice with which to protest the county’s high property tax burden.

“This is telling [governments], right at the ballot box, don’t raise our taxes, don’t spend our money without coming to us first.”

Paul Serwatka

Lakewood Village trustee “This is telling [governments], right at the ballot box, don’t raise our taxes, don’t spend our money without coming to us first,” he said.

Serwatka submitted 510 signatures Friday with the county clerk, about double what is needed to get the question to Lakewood voters.

He also acknowledged that he wants to send a message to his fellow village

trustees not to further consider plans for a new village hall. While the village maintains its administrative offices and police station in a small building on Crystal Lake, the Village Board meets at RedTail Golf Club.

Because only a handful of people attend Village Board meetings, Serwatka said, the referendum will serve notice.

“Nobody wants it. I’ve literally talked to a thousand people, and no one wants it,” he said.

One estimate by the Tax Foundation places McHenry County’s average property tax burden as the 29th highest by county in the U.S. Other studies put Illinois’ overall burden as either the highest or second highest.

All or most of Lakewood’s property owners pay taxes to the village, Grafton Township, McHenry County government and its subsidiary agencies, the McHenry County Conservation District, McHenry County College, School Districts 47 and 155, and the Crystal Lake Park District.

Help vulnerable in our community by taking a stand for Turning Point VIEWS Joan Oliver

Experience design through architectural modeling SPONSORED BY

“Building great architecture models is a skill,” wrote Michael Riscica, a Portland-based architect. According to his article, “Building Great Architecture Models,” the hobby takes practice and patience.

“Anyone can learn,” Riscica wrote.

Like model railroad and rocket construction, architectural modeling is a type of scale building meant to bring structural features, working systems and design ideas to life.

A miniature’s communicative value is determined by materials, tools and plans.

According to hobbyist Duncan Davis, “When you build your own miniatures, you can use whatever building materials you choose. However, there are building materials that are tried and true in the miniature building world.

“Research the style of miniature you plan to build, and choose your materials based on those most often used to make that type of miniature,” wrote Davis.

Popular materials include foam core, poster board, chipboard and wood.

Essential supplies include hobby and utility knives, cork-backed rulers, self-healing cutting mats and adhesives. “Use the right tools for the job. Your cake is only as good as the quality of ingredients you put into it,” wrote Riscica.

“That old utility knife with the blade that hasn’t been changed in 6 months has no place being anywhere near an architectural model.

Throw it away.”

Both fans and firms publish guides and plans online, and both groups consider trial-and-error the best way to learn. Hands-on design, they say, is an unbeatable cognitive and tactile experience.

“Look at the model, figure out how you’re going to build only a certain part of it. Think about what’s the cleanest way to build it. Do it. Then stop.

“Move on to the next section and repeat the process.

“Mentally thinking through each step of a model before you actually cut any material is worth its weight in gold. If you can make this a habit, you will surprise yourself with how fast you can build,” wrote Riscica.

of our area’s social service agencies.

Clearly, most of us do not have the resources to help in every instance, even though we might desire to do so.

So we have to do what we can, when and where we can.

One way to make a real difference is to take a stand for those in our community who are experiencing domestic violence or who need help to stop the cycle of abuse.

The 11th annual Take a Stand for Turning Point radiothon event, put on

by Star 105.5, will run from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Saturday. This year’s event will take place at the Sage YMCA, 701 Manor Road in Crystal Lake.

As in past years, event-goers have a variety of activities to choose from, and those who just want to stop by have the opportunity to donate gently used clothes both days from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Saturday, courtesy of Savers.

Friday’s activities include a YMCA Talent Show, Music Makers for Life, Four Strings Attached, as well as henna and face painting. Also at the event on Friday will be Helping Paws, the Crystal Lake Police Department, The Weather Bug and Volo Auto.

On Saturday, there also will be a Zumba class and a performance from the Mariachi Youth Band. A Heartland Blood Centers blood drive also is planned both days. The Chocolate Factory will offer ice cream and chocolate, MJ’s Coffee Bar will have specialty drinks and sandwiches available, and the Knights of Columbus will cook up hot dogs, bratwurst and hamburgers.

All in all, it should be a good time for a good cause.

Say the word “home” to most people, and it brings happy memories, warm feelings and a sense of security.

Or at least it should.

That’s no doubt why advertisers use those fuzzy feelings to sell everything from coffee to dusting products.

However, for some people – even here in McHenry County – home is anything but a safe place. In fact, it’s where emotional and physical abuse occurs regularly.

In fact, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the U.S. Over the course of a year, that comes out to about 10 million men and women, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

In fiscal 2015, Turning Point of McHenry County, the area’s nonprofit agency that for 35 years has been helping domestic violence victims, served 1,645 clients in all of its programs, which includes counseling for abusers. It fielded 3,083 hotline calls for the crisis line, and it provided 3,972 nights of shelter to those needing help.

All this despite a crisis in state funding that is having an impact on all

CEO Michael Eesley said.

The hospital’s campus also is the home of a Centegra Health Bridge Fitness Center and a medical office building that provides Centegra Immediate Care. A second medical office building is under construction and is tentatively scheduled to open in spring 2017.

“Centegra has really created an environment for delivering health care that’s extremely original to a community because it’s a variety of services in one campus,” Eesley said.

The new hospital has two main access points, six private delivery suites, two C-section suites and eight intensive care rooms.

Chief Operating Officer Sheila Senn, who transferred to the Huntley location from Centegra Hospital – Woodstock, said Centegra employees were able to give input on the design and development process of the hospital.

“All the different departments have had the opportunity to say and give direction on how things should be set up, which I think is a great way to start a new facility,” Senn said.

WILBERT HENRY GERRISH

ROGER E. HYSEN

Born: June 19, 1940; in Green Bay, WI Died: Aug. 7, 2016; in McHenry, IL

Wilbert Henry Gerrish, age 87, of Woodstock, passed away Sunday, Aug. 7, 2016, at Centegra Hospital in Woodstock, Illinois.

He was born May 7, 1929, in Chicago to Karlton and Clara (Parnitke) Gerrish and joined the U.S. Army at 17, proudly serving his country during the Korean War. He later met and married Jeanette Watts. Formerly a 12year resident of Rogers Park, Wilbert moved to McHenry for 20 years before relocating to Woodstock in 2013.

In addition to owning and operating a Chicago restaurant for two years, Wilbert was a longtime employee of the Chicago Transit Authority. He spent 15 years as a CTA bus driver, 12 years as a CTA motorman, and seven years as a CTA motorman instructor. Wilbert was a World War II history buff who enjoyed collecting soldier figurines. Both Wilbert and his wife were avid square dancers and were members of the Woodstock Squares. He will be remembered by all who knew him as a kind soul who loved to surround himself with family.

Survivors include his wife, Jeanette (Watts) Gerrish; his three children, Kevin (Linda) Gerrish, Ellen (Dave) Holst, and Ann (Jeff) McGinnis; his stepchildren, William Von Hoffen, Ruth Minarcik, Cathy Holms, Robert Von Hoffen, and Christine Claus; his grandchildren, Brian, Nicholas, and Christopher Chiodo, Sean and Kelly Gerrish, Scott McGinnis, Rachel Holst, Tracy and Scott Batdorf, Angela and Robert DiNardo, Kyle Minarcik, and Spencer and Kaitlyn Gonzalez; and three great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his siblings, Helen, Naomi, and James Gerrish; and two stepchildren, Anne Carpenter and Laura Von Hoffen.

A visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 12, 2016, at Justen Funeral Home & Crematory, 3700 Charles J. Miller Road, McHenry, IL 60050. The funeral service will be at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at the funeral home. Interment with military honors will be on Saturday at Windridge Cemetery, in Cary, IL. For those wishing to send an expression of condolence, memorials to The VFW Foundation at 406 W. 34th St., Suite 920, Kansas City, Missouri, in Wilbert’s name would be greatly appreciated.

For information, please call the funeral home at 815-385-2400, or visit www.justenfh.com, where friends may leave an online condolence message for his family.

Roger E. Hysen, age 76, passed away peacefully on Aug. 7, 2016, at the Alden Terrace Nursing Home in McHenry, following a long illness. He was born on June 19, 1940, in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the son of Harry and Alvena Hysen.

He is survived by his wife, Nancy; his three children, Jeff, James, and Becky (Rob) Simpson; his sister, Dorothy; a brother, Wayne; and a granddaughter, Savannah Simpson.

Roger was an Army veteran, having served two years in Alaska, and was employed by Northern Illinois Gas Company for 35 years.

Captain Noah, who helmed Billionaire landowner the kids’ TV show, dead at 90 Duke of Westminster dies The ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA – W. Carter Merbreier, who helmed the beloved local children’s TV show “Captain Noah and his Magical Ark,” died Tuesday after a short illness. He was 90.

He died at his home in Audubon, in suburban Philadelphia, said his former station, WPVI-TV. The station has “lost a dear friend and TV legend,” WPVI general manager Bernie Prazenica said. “Captain Noah truly was magical.”

The show, which aired from 1967 to 1994, was syndicated to more than 20 television markets. It featured Merbreier on a nautical-themed set with his wife, who played Mrs. Noah and served as a puppeteer. They enter-

tained children while hosting many newsmakers and celebrities, including Elvis Presley, Charles Barkley and Martina Navratilova.

During a 2013 interview with the Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia, Merbreier talked about the long-running success of the program.

“I was always guaranteed that I would be able to present a good show for children,” he said, according to KYW-AM. “And as long as we were able to do that, I was going to stay on the air.”

Merbreier and his wife, Patricia Merbreier, decided to retire in 1994.

She died in 2011.

The show’s set is now housed at Philadelphia’s interactive children’s museum, the Please Touch Museum.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON – Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor, the sixth Duke of Westminster – a friend of Britain’s royal family and one of the country’s wealthiest landowners – has died, his family said Tuesday. He was 64.

The Grosvenor Estate said the duke died at the Royal Preston Hospital in northwest England after suddenly becoming ill at his vast Abbeystead Estate nearby.

The duke’s Grosvenor Estate owns 300 acres in some of London’s wealthiest areas.

His ancestor, Sir Thomas Grosvenor, married heiress Mary Davies and acquired what was then marshland in 1677. Over the generations the family developed the land into two of London’s most affluent neighborhoods, Mayfair and Belgravia.

The family’s property portfolio

includes land across Britain, as well as housing, office and retail space around the world.

The 2016 Sunday Times Rich List estimated the duke’s wealth at 9.35 billion pounds ($12 billion).

He and his aristocratic family are closely tied to British royalty. The duke’s son and heir, Hugh Grosvenor, is a godfather to Prince George, son of Prince William and his wife, Catherine.

Buckingham Palace said Queen Elizabeth II was sending a message of condolence to the duke’s family.

Prince Charles’ office said he and his wife, Camilla, were “deeply shocked and greatly saddened” by his death.

The duke’s estate said the family had asked “for privacy and understanding at this very difficult time.”

It said “no further comment will be made for the time being but further information will follow in due course.”

STATE Champaign man recalls Vietnam War experiences

By PAUL WOOD

The News-Gazette via The Associated Press CHAMPAIGN – Robin Counce, who carried a grenade launcher in Vietnam, nearly was killed by “friendly fire” and still sees a therapist to talk about his PTSD. Counce, 68, grew up in Danville a minister’s son. He still leans on his faith and his moral compass – “I believe in right” – in dealing with his dangerous service during the seven months he spent in that country.

Among the medals he received, almost one for every month, were the Bronze Star, Combat Infantry Badge, Army Commendation Medal and First Oak Leaf Cluster, Air Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, Good Conduct Medal and National Defense Medal.

Counce had been drafted. He served in the Army from 1968 to 1970.

After training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, and Fort Lewis, Washington, he got orders to report to Vietnam via Fort Ord, California.

Counce was assigned a grenade launcher, which he said was about the size of a sawed-off shotgun.

He joined a unit that targeted Viet Cong guerrillas using guerrilla tactics of their own.

“We were supposed to search for them, find them and kill them,” he recalled.

CHICAGO – The mother of a 10-year-old boy who was shot in Chicago said he is in critical condition after undergoing surgery.

Mellanie Washington said her son, Tavon Tanner, started yelling, “I can’t breathe” and vomited blood after being shot in the back about 10:15 p.m.

Monday. He was sitting on the porch of his family’s West Side home. Washington said the bullet damaged her son’s pancreas, intestines, kidneys and spleen, which was removed.

Robin Counce poses July 20 at his home in Champaign. Counce, who carried a grenade launcher in Vietnam, survived a friendly fire attack while serving seven months in the country.

The day that most sticks out was March 11, 1969.

“We were on a battalion operation in Thanh Phu province,” Counce said.

“The enemy engaged us before we had time to dig into our defensive position for the night.”

That was when everything went wrong.

Counce said the brigade commander continued to send in more troops, and at the same time ordered gunships – Co-

Illinois dedicates monument to Purple Heart recipients

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois has established a monument in Springfield to honor those who were wounded in combat.

The Illinois Historic Preservation Agency said it has dedicated the monument, at the Springfield cemetery where Abraham Lincoln is buried, to Purple Heart medal recipients.

bra helicopters – to the area in support.

The Viet Cong called Cobras “whispering death,” Counce said.

But Col. David Hackworth, a Korean and Vietnam veteran who had created the Tiger Force anti-insurgency outfit, told the officer not to send the Cobras in.

Hackworth warned the officer that his troops did not know where all the other troops were stationed.

Counce said Hackworth received a radio message that two companies were taking friendly fire from two Cobras.

Counce and his squad leader, Sgt. Cary Grant of Georgetown, hunkered down in Viet Cong trenches.

“The Cobra helicopters were firing (hundreds of) rounds a minute, and it sounded like a giant meat grinder. I could see the tracers and bullets hitting all around us, knocking dirt and water into the air. I heard God, I heard Jesus, and I heard the Lord all in harmony,” he said.

To prevent the men from being fired on, Hackworth told Counce’s company commander to put a strobe light on his helmet so he could see exactly where they were.

Hackworth then held his own helicopter directly above Counce’s company so the Cobras would break off. And they did, although the Viet Cong still fired at the helicopter.

Meanwhile, Counce’s unit was taking friendly fire from both sister com-

Brown-McCreery said the agency hopes that the memorial, opened Sunday at Oak Ridge Cemetery, will serve as reminder of the “tremendous sacrifices made by military personnel in all conflicts.”

The Purple heart is the nation’s oldest military award. It traces its roots back to medals authorized by Gen. George Washington in 1782 and has been awarded to nearly 2 million people since World War I. The monument joins state-operated monuments honoring men and women who served in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.

Amazingly, no one in Counce’s company died.

“Five guys were wounded in my company, but did not need medevac that night,” he said.

Somewhere near that time, Counce said, he killed a man (for the first time he knew of) when he blew up a flat-bottomed sampan on the river, with two enemy soldiers and their AK-47s.

“I sent them to Hanoi Heaven,” he said.

He also helped save another soldier by lobbing grenades in the enemy’s tree line.

After the war, Counce returned to Danville, where he first worked in a bookstore.

Friends helped him a get a job at the GM foundry in Tilton, where he spent 25 years. He spent another dozen working for Wal-Mart.

Counce moved to Champaign when he got married to Shirley, whom he called his rock. He has a daughter in Danville named Robin.

Long after the war, a friend asked Counce whether he got angry easily, and whether he had nightmares. That’s when he began to seek therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder at the VA Illiana Health Care System in Danville.

It’s helped, he said, though he hasn’t stopped treatment.

If Trump can’t get along with GOP, how could he govern?

By STEVE PEOPLES The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Beyond the immediate fallout from his rocky relationship with party elders, there’s a longer-term reality for Donald Trump: Should he win the presidency, he would have to work closely with the same GOP leaders he has vilified on the campaign trail.

He has taken modest steps in recent days to ease tensions, yet a growing chorus of experienced Republicans is warning that the billionaire businessman’s brash and divisive approach will make it difficult for him to govern effectively.

“He hasn’t been able to get along with his own party as the nominee. How is he going to get along with them when he has to govern?” asked Rick Tyler, a former aide to Ted Cruz’s presidential bid. “If Trump can’t get along with the sitting speaker, and has poor relationships with sitting members of the Legislature, the idea of fashioning a conservative legislative agenda seems to me virtually nonexistent.”

Tyler may not be an impartial observer.

But it seems clear that Trump’s turbulent relationships with Republican leaders could take on greater significance after Election Day. A President Trump may need Cruz – or “Lyin’ Ted,” as Trump calls him – to help confirm his Supreme Court picks. He may need Florida Sen. Marco Rubio – or “Little Marco” – to help implement his immigration priorities.

And President Trump’s broader governing agenda surely would require the cooperation of House Speaker Paul Ryan, whom Trump thrust into a political firestorm a week ago by refusing to endorse him.

Trump ended that feud by endorsing Ryan late Friday – along with Arizona Sen. John McCain and New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte – after four days of manufactured chaos, but the episode left bad blood.

A steady stream of defections has continued, with longtime Republican officials and policy experts vowing not to vote for the GOP nominee. They include Maine Sen. Susan Collins, a four-term Republican senator, who announced Monday that she could not support Trump and “his constant stream of cruel comments.”

“Donald Trump does not reflect historical Republican values nor the inclusive approach to governing that is critical to healing the divisions in our country,” Collins wrote in The Washington Post.

She is not alone.

Several Republican senators, including Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Mark Kirk of Illinois, have said they won’t vote for Trump.

Others, such as Jeff Flake of Arizona and Mike Lee of Utah, have refused to endorse him so far.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks Tuesday during a campaign rally at the University of North Carolina in Wilmington, N.C.

Trump’s team said it’s not for lack of effort by the candidate.

One early backer, Rep. Chris Collins, R-N.Y., notes that Trump has made multiple trips to Capitol Hill to talk to his critics. He said there’s only a handful of holdouts.

“Once Mr. Trump is the president of the United States and shows that willingness to reach out, and not be dictatorial, but rather collaborative, I think they may just disappear automatically,” Collins said of the Republican critics. “I think it’s going to be a very collaborative effort.”

Yet Trump has shown little ability to moderate his approach for any significant period of time.

After pummeling Cruz with personal insults during the primary season, Trump resurrected a conspiracy theory linking Cruz’s father to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy the day after the Republican National Convention.

A demonstrated expert in parliamentary obstruction tactics, the Texas senator sits on the powerful Judiciary Committee, which has the power to endorse or reject Supreme Court nominees before they are reviewed by the full Senate. The next president may well need to fill more than one court vacancy.

Beyond Cruz, the committee features several other GOP critics: Lee, Flake and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham.

“Donald Trump shows no sign of being able to reach out to people who have been his adversaries,” said Vin Weber, a former Minnesota Republican congressman who is refusing to vote for Trump.

It’s unclear to what extent a frustrated Trump might turn to executive actions should Congress reject his wishes.

State initiatives refocus health debate

By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Moving beyond “Obamacare,” political activists are looking to state ballot questions to refocus the nation’s long-running debate over government’s role in health care.

This fall, California voters will decide whether to lower some prescription drug prices, while Coloradans will vote on a state version of a “single-payer” government-run health system, similar to what Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders proposed in his unsuccessful bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Sanders supports both the California and Colorado initiatives, spokesman Michael Briggs said.

“We are in the process of building a new organization to keep a lot of the energy going,” he said. “Backing those kinds of ballot initiatives is one of the major things that we are focusing on.”

Pharmaceutical companies and insurers are spending millions of dollars to defeat the two ballot questions.

The measures are among the more far-reaching health care questions to be decided by voters around the country on Election Day. With ballots still

assistance in dying.

A proposal in Ohio to limit drug costs didn’t make it onto the ballot this year, but proponents are pushing for a vote in 2017.

California’s Proposition 61 would bar drug companies from charging state programs more than the discounted price paid by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

There would be exemptions, however. For example, it would not apply to medications bought through private insurers who contract with the state to cover beneficiaries in the Medi-Cal program for low-income people.

Opponents of the California initiative have reported $69.6 million in contributions, mainly from pharmaceutical companies. That’s more than seven times the $9.4 million that supporters have raised. Those amounts guarantee national visibility for the battle.

In Colorado, a measure known as Amendment 69 would create ColoradoCare, a government-financed system that would cover most state residents, largely replacing private insurance. Seniors would continue to rely primarily on Medicare.

Opponents have raised $3.6 million, more than five times the $678,000 reported by supporters. The nation’s second-largest insurer, Anthem, donated $1 million to the opposition.

Fight cancer with a plant-based diet SPONSORED BY

By Diane Krieger Spivak One way to prevent and fight cancer is by eating a plant-based diet.

Research has shown that a plant-based diet, consisting mostly of plant-based foods with little or no meat, not only promotes overall health but reduces the risk of cancer, as well.

A plant-based diet can also include a vegetarian diet, which eliminates meat and poultry, or a vegan diet which eliminates all animal products, including eggs, cheese and milk.

Plant foods supply dietary fiber, nutrients and phytochemicals that allow us to more easily manage our weight by filling up on foods that are generally lower in calories, helping to lose or maintain a healthy weight, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research.

Meat, fish and dairy products can supplement a fruit-and-vegetable diet. It’s important to note that plant-based foods should be whole foods or minimally processed and not highly processed foods like chips, crackers and pastries, which may technically be plant-based, but unhealthy, emphasizes AICR. Process foods

not only lack nutrition but often include chemicals that are toxic to the human body. Highly processed foods can also lead to eating more calories than you need.

The New American Plate from AICR is a good model that can help implement a plantbased diet to lower risk for many cancers. In the New American Plate at least two-thirds of your plate is filled with plant foods like vegetables, whole grains, beans, and fruit. The rest of your plate, one-third or less can contains animal foods like fish, poultry, meat or dairy products. This is a flexible way to enjoy more colorful plant foods, while taking in more modest amounts of meat and dairy.

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia – Turkey’s president cozied up to his “dear friend” Vladimir Putin on Tuesday in a visit intended to send a message to his allies in the West, whom he blames for what he considers a lack of support after a failed coup.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has pressed the United States to extradite the man he claims was behind the failed insurrection, and has sought more funds and visa-free travel from the European Union, but it’s unclear what leverage improved ties with Russia could give him.

Putin, in turn, expects Turkey to become more accommodating of Russia’s interests in Syria and move faster on major energy projects – demands Ankara could find difficult to meet.

After their talks in St. Petersburg’s ornate Konstantin Palace, both leaders emphasized their shared desire to rebuild ties, but it remained unclear whether they could reach common ground on the Syrian crisis. While Moscow has backed Syrian President Bashar Assad throughout the nation’s civil war and further bolstered that sup-

Both projects were announced years earlier, but had been held back by commercial disputes even before Turkey’s downing of a Russian jet at the Syrian border last November.

The shoot-down, which Putin called a “treacherous stab in the back,” brought relations to a freezing point where they remained for seven months until Erdogan apologized to Russia in June. Putin responded by ordering his government to start rebuilding ties with Turkey, and when Erdogan faced the botched coup attempt on July 15, the Russian leader quickly offered his support.

Erdogan emphasized that pledge of support, saying “it was very important for us psychologically. It offered us moral support and showed Russia’s solidarity with Turkey.”

While Putin also spoke of rebuilding ties, he sounded more cautious, warning that it will take time to fully restore them. Moscow has accused the Turkish government of turning a blind eye to the flow of weapons and supplies to the Islamic State group and other extremists in Syria. While the Kremlin has tempered its rhetoric amid the rapprochement, Putin will most certainly push Erdogan to cut support for the rebels engaged in a fierce battle with Assad’s forces in Aleppo.

OUR VIEW

Extend Election Day registration Should voters in Iroquois County have the same voting opportunity as those in Cook County or McHenry County?

We would say yes, and most other Illinoisans probably would, too. Yet a law that makes voting easier for many Illinoisans leaves out voters in the state’s less-populous counties.

In Illinois, a law that was tested in 2014 For the record and became permanent before the March Give us a system in which primary requires that people who have not regisvoters in counties tered to vote but want their with more than voice heard can go to their 100,000 people be able local polling place, register and to register at their cast a ballot on the spot. polling place and vote on the day of the election. The rule applies to 20 Illinois counties, with McHenry County among them. Voters in smaller counties are not locked out if they haven’t registered

by Election Day, but they do have to go to the county clerk’s office to register and vote on election day.

This approach has prompted a lawsuit from the Liberty Justice Center, the legal arm of the Illinois Policy Institute. The group argues the same-day registration plan should be scrapped because it does not apply equally to all of Illinois’ 102 counties.

Putting aside the political bent of this lawsuit, which has suppression of voter turnout in Chicago and other Democratic Party strongholds as its unstated goal, we are inclined to agree: Voters across Illinois should have same-day registration available to them at their polling places.

Same-day registration and voting has increased voter turnout. In fall 2014, in a pilot election for the law, thousands took advantage, and the March primaries saw record turnout in many counties.

Give us a system in which people who have not registered to vote but want their voice heard can go to their local polling place, register and cast a ballot on the spot. If the system can be managed by clerks and poll workers in larger jurisdictions, it should be manageable for those in the state’s more rural counties as well.

The right of citizens to vote is critical, and the opportunity to cast a ballot should be as readily available to all eligible voters as possible.

Extending Election Day registration and voting to all of the state’s polling places would be a good way to do that.

Challenges 2 years after Ferguson In October 2014, Monsanto CEO Hugh Grant, then-president of the business group Civic Progress, told us: “Ferguson is the fracture point that fundamentally changes St. Louis, or else everything crystallizes and nothing changes. In our lifetime, you might not ever have another chance to swing at the fences.”

He made his remarks as Gov. Jay Nixon was announcing formation of the Ferguson Commission.

So having taken its best swing, how well is St. Louis doing?

Tuesday marked two years since the police shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown touched off months of civil unrest as well as a kind of civic examination of conscience about race relations in St. Louis. The Ferguson Commission did valuable work examining the conditions behind the tension that played out in the streets. It issued 189 “calls for action,” many of which will take years and a political consensus

that does not yet exist.

The commission’s successor organization, Forward Through Ferguson, is working with civic and business groups to make sure the road map isn’t ignored. Their financial and political commitment is admirable and must be sustained.

Racial and economic injustice are not unique to St. Louis. Something like Ferguson could happen in just about any American city.

At a macro level, Ferguson will be fixed as America is fixed. Or not.

It is at the micro level, in Ferguson itself, where change is most apparent. The 21,000 residents of that North County suburb are paying a heavy price for what happened two years ago.

They face higher taxes to maintain services. There’s been huge turnover at City Hall and within the police department.

Ferguson’s police and court practices were troubling but were

no different from those in dozens of other municipalities where city officials, police and a municipal court cabal hassled residents and motorists for revenue.

Ferguson, though, wound up with the full weight of the U.S. Department of Justice on its back.

The most significant post-Ferguson reform has been the new state law that puts a 20 percent limit on how much of a St. Louis County municipality’s budget can be raised by municipal court fines. That has stressed some city budgets, and some municipalities are challenging the limit in court.

As a city and a state, we can’t keep doing the same thing and hoping for a different result.

This is fundamental: While we work on the big problems of racial equity, don’t let people prosper from divisions, black and white, rich and poor. If we’re going to swing for the fences, we can’t keep popping that one up.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Library busiest place in town

To the Editor: The new library proposal has merit.

Spending millions is difficult no matter how worthy the request. The heavy load per floor makes construction very costly. While there is opposition, there also is a real need. Looking at the numbers, in 1999 the Crystal Lake population was about 28,000 and circulation was 280,000. By 2010, the population rose to 38,000, circulation was 564,000, and today the circulation is at 878,000 with a population of 40,000.

Libraries aren’t just book depositories any longer. They provide puzzles, audio books for those with vision issues and science and technology kits for students. A business can even borrow a video camera.

Last year, the library received more than 68,000 research requests; hosted almost 23,000 two-hour computer sessions and almost 19,000 wi-fi sessions for those without an internet connection. Ten percent of the books in the library are in storage because of a lack of space. When new books are acquired, an equal amount are removed for the same reason.

The library serves those who can’t afford to buy all this for themselves and is one of the busiest places in Crystal Lake. Wouldn’t it be great to have a ground-level entrance? Imagine what

VIEWS Scott Reeder against the grain.

He’s a registered Republican who is not afraid to speak out against some of the GOP’s dumber moves.

His book, “The Making of Donald Trump,” makes it clear its dumbest move may well be nominating Trump.

“Win or lose, I think Donald Trump will mean the destruction of the Republican Party as we know it,” Johnston told me.

Johnston labels Trump the “P.T. Barnum of American politics,” adding the real estate mogul is a master of media manipulation.

“Back when he announced that he was seeking the Republican nomination, most reporters were dismissive saying it was a publicity stunt. I wasn’t one of them. I didn’t say he ‘would’ but

Court ruling disenfranchises

To the Editor: More than 550,000 Illinois voters signed a petition seeking a chance to vote this November on an amendment to the Illinois constitution. The amendment would change the way legislative districts are drawn. Currently, the legislators draw the district boundaries to slice up neighborhoods and towns. I, for instance, moved five blocks and now am represented by a different legislator.

That’s crazy. One consequence has been a significant lack of competition in legislative races. This November, 60 percent of Illinois legislative races will have no competition at all – no competition for ideas or solutions.

The petition to put the Independent Map Amendment on the November ballot was duly submitted. Immediately, a lawsuit was filed to block – not the amendment itself – but the opportunity for Illinois citizens to vote on it. A circuit court judge ruled to block putting the amendment on the fall ballot. Her interpretation of the pertinent section in our constitution was so narrow it

said he ‘could’ win the nomination.”

Maliciousness is a point of pride for Trump, Johnston contends. “This is a man driven by the need to seek revenge,” he said.

Johnston devotes a chapter to Trump’s words on the subject. He described how Trump fired a female employee who cited ethical reservations and refused to call a banker friend on his behalf.

Johnston quotes Trump’s own account from his book, “Think Big.” “She ended up losing her home. Her husband, who was only in it for the money, walked out on her and I was glad … I can’t stomach disloyalty … and now I go out of my way to make her life miserable.”

Johnston also relates how Trump cut off the health insurance for his great-nephew after the ill baby’s parents challenged a family will.

Johnston said Trump’s appeal is he offers simplistic solutions to an American people who are hurting

economically.

And Trump has used the trappings of his personal wealth to attract people.

But Johnston contends Trump isn’t nearly as wealthy as he says he is.

“He lives the lifestyle of a billionaire. But how many real billionaires are out hawking ties, steaks, bottled water and board games?”

Johnston’s book is a terrific read.

And I have to agree with his assessment of the wannabe commander-in-chief. Trump is a charlatan who spews hatred toward Muslims, Mexicans, women and just about anyone who gets in his way.

He’s not just an embarrassment to the Republican Party, but to this great nation.

would be impossible for citizens to ever reform their own legislature. The Illinois Supreme Court has agreed to hear the appeal.

As you wait for the Supreme Court’s late-August ruling, pay attention. What about legislative reform is so dangerous it cannot be voted on? Remember, the petition merely asks that the amendment be placed on the ballot for a vote.

Who wants to disenfranchise millions of Illinois voters, and why? Will the Supreme Court allow us to vote, or will they be part of the effort to stifle reform?

SPRINGFIELD – When a military veteran gave Donald Trump his Purple Heart earlier this month, David Cay Johnston cringed.

Johnston, the son of a disabled World War II-era veteran, knows the sacrifices that medal represents. It’s only awarded to military personnel wounded or killed in combat.

Trump said of the gift, “I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier.”

Johnston, a Pulitzer Prize winner who has written a book on the Republican presidential candidate, has known Trump for decades and told me in a recent interview, “Donald Trump just doesn’t get it. He creates his own reality. The Purple Heart isn’t something anyone seeks.”

I first met Johnston 11 years ago, when I was in Fort Worth, Texas, to receive an Investigative Reporters and Editors medal. I found Johnston to be a heck of a nice guy, an occasional mentor and reporter not afraid to go

Zika blamed for business woes in Wynwood THE MIAMI HERALD MIAMI – Business has plummeted in Miami’s Wynwood arts district since Zika infections were reported there, according to gallery and restaurant owners who want government officials to speed up their response and help offset their losses.

At an emergency meeting Monday, the Wynwood Business Improvement District urged state, local and federal officials to hasten efforts to clear mosquitoes that carry the virus from the area. It also asked for recovery funds to make up for lost business since the U.S. mainland’s first locally acquired Zika cases were reported in the neighborhood north of downtown Miami.

Ken Bercel took out a $15,000 loan to keep his Lost and Found Saloon open after customers stopped coming, The Miami Herald reported Tuesday.

“Money is coming out of our savings, our banks, our lenders, just to keep the business open right now,” Bercel said. “How do we finish this summer?”

Florida now reports 21 people have contracted the virus locally, including four new cases likely caught through a mosquito bite within a 1-square-mile zone encompassing Wynwood, according to a statement Tuesday from Gov. Rick Scott.

It’s the only area where active Zika transmissions have been taking place, according to a separate statement from Florida’s Department of Health.

Visitors and tourist visit the Wynwood Walls on Friday in the Wynwood area of Miami.

The recent announcement that more than a dozen people have been infected with Zika by mosquitoes in the area has scared away some, but many others are still coming. on Tuesday and toured a health clinic near Wynwood, called on Congress to immediately return to Washington to pass legislation to provide emergency funding for Zika testing, treatment and research. The Democratic presidential candidate’s running mate, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, has already said he’d return to Washington for a vote on a Zika bill.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has warned pregnant women to avoid traveling to Wynwood. Pregnant women who live

there have been told to take extra precautions to avoid mosquito bites.

The virus is primarily transmitted by certain tropical mosquitoes but also can be contracted through sex with an infected partner. Most people who contract Zika only experience mild flu-like symptoms, but it can lead to severe brain-related birth defects if women are infected during pregnancy.

Miami-Dade County is using aerial spraying of pesticides in the affected area, in addition to door-to-door in-

spections.

Scott has urged people to continue patronizing Wynwood businesses.

The Miami Parking Authority has announced special rates in Wynwood for its monthly art walk on Saturday and on Wednesdays through Aug. 31.

An international “open for business” campaign by the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau will help promote special events and deals in Wynwood, said Rolando Aedo, the agency’s senior vice president of marketing and tourism.

Some residents and tourists remain undaunted by the advisory and have continued visiting the neighborhood with trendy boutiques, a lively bar scene and bold outdoor murals. But the Herald reports business owners are taking significant losses.

At R House, a restaurant and lounge, executives said business Saturday was down 90 percent.

“You’re saying we’re open for business, but nobody is coming,” R House owner Rocco Carulli said.

When a reporter on Monday approached Zak Stern, owner of the cafe Zak the Baker, he replied, “Surely there’s something else you can report on.”

LOS ANGELES – A judge is delaying the start of a restraining order hearing involving Johnny Depp and his estranged wife because it is expected to span several days.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Carl H. Moor ruled Tuesday that the hearing will begin Aug. 17, two days later than planned. Moor ordered the delay after concluding the hearing on Amber Heard’s allegations that Depp physically abused her could take up to five days.

Depp has been ordered to stay away and not contact his estranged wife, and the hearing could extend that order for several years.

‘Tonight Show,’ ‘SNL’ coming to Snapchat

Taran Killam (left) and Jay Pharoah are leaving “Saturday Night Live” after six seasons.

Jay Pharoah, Taran Killam exiting ‘Saturday Night Live’ LOS ANGELES – Longtime “Saturday Night Live” cast member Taran Killam said he “was never given a reason why” he was being let go after six seasons on the NBC program.

Killam and fellow cast member Jay Pharoah won’t be back when “SNL” returns this fall for its 42nd season, the network said Monday.

Killam told Uproxx in an interview published Monday that he was planning on making the upcoming season of “SNL” his final one before being told that his contract wasn’t being picked up.

“I was never given a reason why, really. I can assume until the cows come home,” he said.

Killam speculated that the production schedule of a film he’s directing and starring in, “Why We’re Killing Gunther,” might have played a part because two months of post-production work on the movie would have coincided with “SNL’s” production schedule. Whatever the reason for his departure, Killam said he has “no gripes” about his time as part of the comedy institution.

“I set out to be on ‘SNL,’ and I got to do that and I did very well. And I love and adore and will forever have close ties and tight bonds with the brilliant, smartest, funniest people I’ve ever met in my life,” he told Uproxx.

Killam performed several celebrity impressions on the show, including Brad Pitt and Donald Trump – although the Trump role went to “SNL” announcer and former star Darrell Hammond during the past season.

Pharoah also was on the program for six seasons and had the coveted role of impersonating President Barack Obama. He was also known for his sendups of Kanye West, Jay Z, Shaquille O’Neal and others.

NEW YORK – NBCUniversal has agreed to make customized episodes of “The Tonight Show,” ‘’Saturday Night Live” and several other shows for Snapchat under a multiyear deal between the broadcast network and social media app.

NBC said episodes of “The Voice” and “E! News” from E! Entertainment Television, which is owned by NBCUniversal, will be the first of its programs to be shown on the Snapchat Discover platform. Those shows will be followed by original episodes of “Saturday Night Live” and Jimmy Fallon’s “Tonight Show.”

In return, NBC plans to develop and sell advertising packages that include Snapchat as part of the deal.

FLOSS FOCUS

Aldredge acknowledges the weak scientific evidence and the brief duration of many studies on flossing, but says that the impact of floss might be clearer if researchers focused on patients at the highest risk of gum disease, such as diabetics and smokers.

Experts weigh in on unproven benefits of flossing

T

By JEFF DONN

The Associated Press

he federal government has recommended flossing since 1979, first in a surgeon general’s report and later in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans issued every five years.

The guidelines must be based on scientific evidence, under the law.

Last year, the Associated Press asked the departments of Health and Human Services and Agriculture for their evidence, and followed up with written requests under the Freedom of Information Act. When the federal government issued its latest dietary guidelines this year, the flossing recommendation had been removed, without notice. In a letter to the AP, the government acknowledged the effectiveness of flossing had never been researched, as required.

The AP looked at the most rigorous research conducted over the past decade, focusing on 25 studies that generally compared the use of a toothbrush with the combination of toothbrushes and floss. The findings? The evidence for flossing is “weak, very unreliable,” of “very low” quality, and carries “a moderate to large potential for bias.”

“The majority of available studies fail

to demonstrate that flossing is generally effective in plaque removal,” said one review conducted last year. Another 2015 review cites “inconsistent/weak evidence” for flossing and a “lack of efficacy.”

One study review in 2011 did credit floss with a slight reduction in gum inflammation – which can sometimes develop over time into full-fledged gum disease. However, the reviewers ranked the evidence as “very unreliable.” A commentary in a dental magazine stated any benefit would be so minute it might not be noticed by users.

The two leading professional groups – the American Dental Association and the American Academy of Periodontology, for specialists in gum disease and implants – cited other studies as proof of their claims that flossing prevents buildup of gunk known as plaque, early gum inflammation called gingivitis, and tooth decay. However, most of these studies used outdated methods or tested few people. Some lasted only two weeks, far too brief for a cavity or dental disease to develop. One tested 25 people after only a single use of floss.

Such research, like the reviewed studies, focused on warning signs such as bleeding and inflammation, barely dealing with gum disease or cavities.

Wayne Aldredge, president of the periodontists’ group, acknowledged the weak sci-

“

It’s low risk, low cost.

We know there’s a possibility that it works, so we feel comfortable telling people to go ahead and do it.”

Tim Iafolla National Institutes of Health dentist

entific evidence and the brief duration of many studies. In an interview at his private practice in New Jersey, he said that the impact of floss might be clearer if researchers focused on patients at the highest risk of gum disease, such as diabetics and smokers.

Still, he urges his patients to floss to help avoid gum disease.

“It’s like building a house and not painting two sides of it,” he said. “Ultimately those two sides are going to rot away quicker.”

Aldredge also said many people use floss incorrectly, moving it in a sawing motion instead of up and down the sides of the teeth. Pressed about the origins of his organization’s endorsement of flossing, he said it may simply have “taken the ADA’s lead.”

When the ADA was asked for proof of its claim flossing helps prevent early gum disease and cavities, the group cited the 2011 review and a 2008 two-week study that measured bacteria and did not even consider gum disease.

In a later statement to the AP, the ADA said flossing “removes plaque” and “is proven to help remove” debris from between teeth. A video on its website proclaims flossing “helps prevent gum disease.” When pressed, Matthew J. Messina, a practicing dentist and spokesman for the dental association, acknowledged weak evidence, but he blamed research participants who didn’t floss correctly.

Even companies with a big market share of the flossing business – by next year, the global market is predicted to reach almost $2 billion, with half in the United States, according to publisher MarketSizeInfo.com – struggled to provide convincing evidence of their claims floss reduces plaque or gingivitis. Yet the industry has paid for most studies and sometimes designed and conducted the research.

Procter & Gamble, which claims its floss fights plaque and gingivitis, pointed to a two-week study, which was discounted as irrelevant in the 2011 research review.

Johnson & Johnson spokesman Marc Boston said floss helps remove plaque. When the AP sent him a list of contradicting studies, he declined to comment.

National Institutes of Health dentist Tim Iafolla acknowledged that if the highest standards of science were applied in keeping with the flossing reviews of the past decade, “then it would be appropriate to drop the floss guidelines.”

Regardless, he added, Americans should still floss.

“It’s low risk, low cost,” he said. “We know there’s a possibility that it works, so we feel comfortable telling people to go ahead and do it.”

Here’s what you need to know A bunion (or hallux valgus) is a deformity of the foot that tends to cause pain to the big toe joint on the inside of the foot. (A deformity is a change in normal position.)

A bunion is different than a corn, which can be painful too. A corn is a hard callus caused by pressure on skin.

A bunion is an actual bone and joint deformity. It can displace the second toe from its normal position; this condition is called a hammertoe.

Not all bunions cause pain or need treatment. If you have a bunion that hurts, a medical professional, such as a podiatrist, might be able to offer you treatment options.

What can be done for a bunion?

It is important to discuss treatment with a medical professional because your options differ by how bad the problem is, your age, and even your overall health. Simple methods, such as using padding and wider shoes, are often tried first. However, if these do not relieve pain, then surgery might be discussed.

There are dozens of different surgical procedures for bunions. The type of surgery can vary greatly from patient to patient. Although bunion surgery should not be done for cosmetic reasons only, many newer techniques can be used to both reduce pain and improve cosmetic results. These minimally incisional surgeries (MIS) use small incisions. However, the surgeon still needs to adjust the bone to have good long-term results. But not all bunions can or should be treated this way. Again, this is very specific to each person’s situation, so please talk to a foot surgeon to see what is appropriate.

What to expect after surgery How long you need to recover and your restrictions depend heavily on the type of procedure you had. Many surgeries allow for protected, immediate weight bearing on the foot for the first six weeks. After that, you can start wearing normal shoes.

However, some surgeries require that you place no weight on your foot for four to six weeks. After that, you will need protected weight bearing on the foot for two to four weeks.

It is important to keep recovery in mind if you are considering having your bunion fixed. Depending on what you do and what procedure you need, you might need time off of work.

Bunion surgeries are intended to relieve pain. If your bunion pain is stopping you from enjoying life, talk to a foot surgeon to see what kind of treatment is right for you.

NOVATO, Calif. – A former pro football star and an advocate for athlete marijuana use have teamed up to open a gym in San Francisco they say will be one of the first in the world to allow members to smoke pot while working out.

Former running back Ricky Williams, who played for the Saints, Dolphins and Ravens, and Jim McAlpine, a snowboard company executive, said Power Plant Fitness also will offer edibles and topical gels for those who don’t like smoking the plant.

They say using pot while exercising can help them focus or relax.

Members of the gym, which plans to open this year, will need a medical marijuana prescription to join, but that could change if California voters legalize recreational pot in November.

“I personally use it for focus. It’s not about getting high. It’s about keeping my mind engaged in the activity I’m in,” said McAlpine, who organizes the 420 games, athletic events aiming to stop the stigma against pot use.

Carla Lowe, founder of Citizens Against Legalizing Marijuana, a political action committee based in Sacramento, said it’s not clear how the drug affects the body but “there’s

zero evidence that marijuana helps you focus.

“There is evidence that it makes you dopey.”

Her group is working to defeat the ballot measure that would legalize marijuana in California, saying it “does not bode well for the future of our country.”

But Williams, who was suspended several times by the NFL for marijuana use, said he wants to dispel the stigma.

“I think a lot of people buy into the stoner stereotype where guys just sit on the couch, smoke and don’t do anything, and they’re not very motivated,” said Williams, who retired from the NFL after the 2011 season.

“I found when I was playing football that using cannabis helped me relax physically, relax mentally and even spiritually.”

Any potential benefits of marijuana on exercise have not been studied thoroughly. But one doctor who works with marijuana-smoking patients said the drug can help manage post-workout pain.

“To use cannabis in that sense for pain relief instead of the usual things you’re able to use now, like opioids, is hands down why you would use it,” said Dr. Perry Solomon, chief medical officer for HelloMD, a digital health care platform for the cannabis industry.

Bothered by bunions?

30 Drug combination may lower cholesterol Dear Dr. K: Despite taking statins, my cholesterol hasn’t dropped as low as my doctor would like. I figured he’d put me on the new PCSK9 inhibitors. Instead, he suggested I stay on my statin, but also take another drug called ezetimibe. What can you tell me about this combination?

Dear Reader: From what you say, I assume your doctor has used the highest dose of the most potent statins before giving up on those drugs. There are very few people whose cholesterol does not drop substantially on statins alone.

However, if your cholesterol still is not low enough despite maximizing statin treatment, then you do need something else. The cholesterol-lowering drugs known as PCSK9 inhibitors roared onto the market last year. Thanks to their impressive performance in clinical trials – in one year, they lowered LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels by 40 to 60 percent – doctors and patients alike greeted them with excitement. But these drugs aren’t for everyone.

Why? One big reason is cost. PCSK9 inhibitors cost an estimated $14,600 a year. Did I just hear you gulp? I thought so. By contrast, most statins are available as generics. They can cost as little as $4 a month through discount programs at large chain stores.

Moreover, the statins have been proven to decrease actual heart attacks and strokes. Doctors do not know yet whether the PCSK9 inhibitors ultimately will do the same. Finally, PCSK9 inhibitors are given by injection every two to four weeks, whereas statins are pills.

But when statins alone do not lower LDL cholesterol adequately, there are other options than the PCSK9 inhibitors.

One alternative is ezetimibe (Zetia).

This drug blocks cholesterol in food from crossing the intestinal wall and getting into

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff the bloodstream. It can lower LDL levels by roughly 15 to 20 percent when used alone. And when added to statins, it can lower cholesterol further. Ezetimibe has an excellent safety record and generally is well tolerated.

One large study compared adding ezetimibe to the statin simvastatin (the combination found in the drug Vytorin) to using one of the statin drugs (simvastatin) alone. The combination was more effective in preventing heart attacks and strokes.

The study included more than 18,000 people who were recovering from heart attacks. After six years, LDL levels in the ezetimibe-plus-simvastatin group dropped considerably lower than in the group taking just simvastatin. More important, comparing a theoretical group of 100,000 people taking the combined drugs to a group of the same size taking just the simvastatin, 2,000 more people taking just simvastatin would have had another heart attack or a stroke.

Ezetimibe works when added to any statin. If the combination of a statin plus ezetimibe doesn’t work for you, then your doctor may consider a PCSK9 inhibitor.

Not all insurance companies pay for PCSK9 inhibitors. Those that do need proof from your doctor that every other way to lower your cholesterol has not produced adequate results. Hopefully, adding ezetimibe will do the trick. I’ll bet it will.

something like this on a first – or even second – date, and certainly not with a virtual stranger.

“Prosthetics” of various kinds are common, but few people are willing to discuss the fact their appearance has been enhanced with false teeth, caps and veneers, breast implants, Botox or a hair transplant. People are more than a prosthetic, so new acquaintances should get to know the person before receiving that information.

Dear Abby: This politically divisive year has fueled a debate in our family. I like to put a political sticker on my car (on a magnet). That way I can remove it when I want.

One of my relatives won’t ride in my car if I have my sticker on.

I say it’s my car and I can put what I want on it. He says I should be “sensitive to others’ feelings” when they are in the car.

What do you think? – Politically Stumped Dear Politically Stumped: You have a right to exercise your freedom of expression.

If your relative prefers not to ride in a car with a bumper sticker advertising “the other” political party, then he or she should feel free to arrange for alternative transportation.

Trip to state semis makes Wolves want more

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com

P

rairie Ridge took some consolation from its 11-2 record and Class 6A semifinal appearance in the 2015 football season.

The Wolves achieved remarkable things with a young team, led by sophomore quarterback Samson Evans, yet the 35-27 loss to Montini nevertheless stung. Especially when Crete-Monee, a team Prairie Ridge had whipped, 52-33, in Week 9, earned the other spot in the 6A championship game. Montini cruised to the title, 38-15.

“It gives you more motivation to win a state championship,” Wolves lineman Jeff Jenkins said. “That’s the ultimate goal. You look at last year, and a couple plays could have gone differently. It makes you want to work harder to win that game.”

Evans, Jenkins and several other key players return this season, and the Wolves figure to again be one of the top teams in Class 6A, as well as a contender in the Fox Valley Conference. They open at Cary-Grove, then host Huntley

in Week 2; both games will be pivotal toward determining the conference champ.

“Like anything, with high school kids it’s confidence,” Prairie Ridge coach Chris Schremp said. “Half of it is believing you can. With this team, they see they can do it. They were a big part of that last year. Just the mindset you can’t be satisfied with just making the playoffs. We understand we can still get better during a playoff run.”

Evans was the Northwest Herald Player of the Year after rushing for 1,966 yards and 29 touchdowns. Jenkins also was an All-Area first-team selection.

Those two, linebackers Jacob Ommen and Joe Perhats, along with running back Zach Gulbransen are juniors in their third season on varsity.

Senior tight end Austen Ferbet committed to Army last week, and senior running back Cole Brown is another returning starter. Brown rushed for 682 yards, and backup fullback Manny Ebirim, now the starter, ran for 469 and started two games.

The Wolves have every reason to think big.

“We just have to bust it every day and come together,” Perhats said. “We have to keep everybody going and get ready for Week 1. [Last season] got us ready, learning from the leadership [the seniors] had for us. We have to do that ourselves and bring our team together, and we’ll have a successful season again.”

The Wolves have been to the Class 6A semifinals four times since 2009.

Prairie Ridge opened the season at C-G last season, but the Wolves were in the FVC Fox Division and did not play Huntley. The FVC is now one nine-team conference, so every team’s schedule became more demanding.

Huntley won the FVC Valley Division last season and should contend for the FVC title. C-G, a Class 7A semifinalist and the FVC Valley runner-up, is a traditional power and handed Prairie Ridge a 21-14 loss in last year’s opener.

“We’ll see how good we are right away,” said Jenkins, who will play on the offensive and defensive lines. “The outcome of those games will let us know if we’re good enough to hang with the best in the state.”

Independent league team Schaumburg Boomers make offer The ASSOCIATED PRESS

• Wednesday, August 10, 2016

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – With professional football not working out, Tim Tebow is going to give baseball a try.

The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner and former NFL first-round draft pick plans to conduct a workout for Major League Baseball teams this month. Tebow last played organized baseball in high school.

ESPN first reported the news.

Agent Brodie Van Wagenen, the cohead of CAA Baseball, said in a statement the workout is not a publicity stunt.

“His work ethic is unprecedented, and his passion for the game is infectious. He knows the challenges that lie ahead of him given his age and experience, but he is determined to achieve his goal of playing in the Major Leagues,” Van Wagenen said in a statement.

Tebow, who turns 29 Sunday, has been training in Scottsdale with former major league catcher Chad Moeller.

“I am beyond impressed with Tim’s athleticism and swing, and it goes without saying that he has shown a high level of discipline and strong work ethic,” Moeller said in a statement released by CAA. “I see bat speed and power and real baseball talent. I truly believe Tim has the skill set and potential to achieve his goal of playing in the major leagues, and based on what I have seen over the past two months, it could happen relatively quickly.”

Former All-Star slugger Gary Sheffield came to bat for Tebow on Twitter.

“I spent time with Tim Tebow in the cages,” Sheffield wrote, “he’s a NATURAL. Tim has IT.” Tebow won the Heisman and two national championships with the Uni-

He has not played in the NFL since 2012 with the New York Jets. He went to training camp with the New England Patriots in 2013 and the Philadelphia Eagles in 2015 but was cut before the season each time.

Tebow last played competitive baseball more than a decade ago, hitting .494 as a junior for Nease High School in Florida. He didn’t play baseball as a senior, concentrating instead on football.

“He was a six-tool player,” Tebow’s high school coach Greg “Boo” Mullins said in a 2013 interview with The Sporting News. “He has arm strength, he could run, he could hit, he could hit

for power, he could field, but his character made him that six-tool guy.”

Bears coach John Fox, who coached at Denver when Tebow played there, said “good for him” when told of his decision to try baseball.

“He was very competitive,” Fox said Tuesday, “a super, super young person, very dedicated to life, a guy that I was very impressed with that took us to the playoffs and won a playoff game.”

ESPN reported Tebow will work out for major league teams this month.

He already has drawn the attention of minor league teams that always are on the lookout for a successful promotion.

The Schaumburg Boomers of the

Independent Frontier League issued a news release saying they have offered Tebow a contract.

“We’re looking for an athletic outfielder who can bring some leadership and competitiveness into the clubhouse,” Boomers manager Jamie Bennett said. “Tebow brings all of those characteristics and then some. I think he’d be a great fit here in Schaumburg.”

The Fort Myers Miracle, a Single-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins, quickly planned a “What Would Tim Tebow Do?” night Thursday. In addition to “special Tebow-themed between inning contests,” the club will hold a job fair to commemorate Tebow’s career switch.

He will start in the finale of the Yankees’ BOSTON – Alex Rodriguez’s memo- three-game series Thursday night before ries of Fenway Park are as textured as playing his final game with New York at the complicated story of his 22-year ca- home the next night.

Manager Joe Girardi announced the reer.

This week, A-Rod will wear pinstripes plans for A-Rod in Boston before Tues-

day night’s series opener. After Friday’s game against the Rays, Rodriguez will be released and shift into a role as a special adviser.

Girardi said Sunday he would get Rodriguez as many innings as possible this week, but said Tuesday he got caught up

in the emotions of Sunday’s announcement and instead will prioritize the Yankees’ pursuit of a playoff spot.

Rodriguez said he is disappointed but excited to start at least one more time at Fenway Park, where he made his major league debut in 1994.

Lackey finds groove; Cubs cruise

By MIKE CRANSTON

CUBS 5, ANGELS 1

The Associated Press

CHICAGO – John Lackey was ornery and fired up, just what the Cubs needed from their veteran right-hander to keep rolling.

Lackey outpitched friend and former teammate Jered Weaver, Kris Bryant hit his 28th home run and the Cubs beat the Los Angeles Angels, 5-1, Tuesday night for their eighth straight victory.

Willson Contreras also homered and Ben Zobrist added an RBI double for the major league-leading Cubs, who won their 70th game and moved a season-high 29 over .500.

Kole Calhoun homered on Lackey’s third pitch, but the former Angels right-hander later retired 12 straight.

Lackey (9-7) allowed three hits over eight innings, and all six of his strikeouts were looking.

“He’s not going to be out there smiling all the time, and he’s going to be upset with umpires, and he’s going to be upset with his manager,” said Cubs skipper Joe Maddon, who was with the Angels when Lackey started his career in 2002. “He’s going to be upset with teammates on occasion. But that’s just who he is, and when you know that, it’s OK. Because you love having him on your team.”

Weaver (8-9) gave up four earned runs and another one that was unearned when he dropped a throw to first base for an error during the An-

Bryant homered over the left-field bleachers in the fifth, giving Lackey more than enough cushion. Pedro Strop pitched a perfect ninth to finish the three-hitter.

“I thought he had an exceptional slider tonight and a really good changeup,” Maddon said about Lackey.

The matchup of veteran righthanders was as one-sided as their

teams’ seasons in the opener of the Cubs’ 10-game homestand.

The 37-year-old Lackey and 33-yearold Weaver were teammates a decade ago with the Angels. They had split their previous two meetings when Lackey pitched for Boston.

This was the first time they batted against each other.

“It’s a little strange when he gets in the box, for sure, because we’re good

ers for his first homer since June 25.

Contreras tied it with a shot to left-center in the third.

Weaver had the Cubs off balance early with his 83 mph fastball and 70 mph curve. But the Cubs started to pounce the second time through the order, with Anthony Rizzo doubling in a two-run fourth and again in a two-run fifth.

The second hit came after Bryant sent Weaver’s slider onto Waveland Avenue.

La Stella’s refusal to report to Iowa troubling

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

CHICAGO – Is the clock about to strike 3 a.m.?

Cubs infielder Tommy La Stella, who has refused to report to Triple-A Iowa since being optioned to the minors July 29, has forced the club to consider looking outside the organization for ways to replace the left-handed bat it expected him to provide.

“We have to think through things from the organization’s standpoint, and having really good left-handed bats and potentially left-handed bats off the bench is really important for us,” general manager Jed Hoyer said.

Hoyer emphasized the club continues to value La Stella – nicknamed “3 a.m.” for his 24/7 hitting ability – and to work with him on overcoming his

reluctance to report to the minors.

La Stella, a starter in last year’s wild-card playoff game who was optioned because of a roster numbers crunch as Chris Coghlan returned from the disabled list, was placed in recent days on the temporarily inactive list until the is- Tommy sue is resolved.

La Stella Team officials stress La Stella has no health problems or personal, off-the-field hardships.

Teammates and team officials from president Theo Epstein and Hoyer to manager Joe Maddon and team psychologist Ken Ravizza have contacted La Stella, who is said to be working out and swinging a bat at home in New Jersey.

“We all have a different lens how we view the world,” Maddon said. “I know when I went through my Kurt Vonnegut stage, I was kind of screwed up when I was 21.”

As much as teammates seem to appreciate La Stella’s contributions off the bench (.846 OPS in 122 plate appearances), his decision has puzzled many among a group that has gone out of its way to present a team-first image.

“I don’t know if anybody would say they saw that coming, by any means,” said veteran Jason Heyward, who has reached out to make sure La Stella is “at peace” with his decision.

“I’ve never seen it happen before,” said Matt Szczur, who last year was optioned to the minors six times – often because of similar roster-numbers considerations. “But I’m really close to Tommy, and we’ve been talking back

and forth. He’s trying to get in a good place, and I can only support him.”

To be sure, the absence of a guy at the end of the bench is not going to make the difference in whether the Cubs achieve their October goals.

And it wouldn’t merit even this much of a story if not for how conspicuous the attitude looks against the grain of Maddon’s groovy, Bohemian harmony prevalent in the clubhouse.

What’s certain is that La Stella’s not getting a return ticket to Chicago until he gets some Triple-A at-bats. And that return might not be complete without some fence mending in the clubhouse.

“Tommy hears his own beat. And I love him for it,” Maddon said. “He’s a very interesting young man. He’s also a very good baseball player. Hopefully, he’s going to get back relatively soon.

We’d love to have him back.”

WHITE SOX

Dariel, 5, to watch dad play in Miami

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

The White Sox’s Jose Abreu hits a two-run home run against the Tigers in the second inning Thursday in Detroit.

Abreu was with his son, who will be in the U.S for about a month before he has to return to Cuba, at his home Monday and for part of Tuesday. He had seen him last during Major League Baseball’s goodwill tour in Cuba in December.

“I couldn’t say anything,” Abreu said. “I just started crying. I couldn’t say anything to him in that moment.’’

After going 32 consecutive games without a homer – a serious drought considering he had clubbed 36 and 30

“I’m very grateful and thankful to my agents,” Abreu said. “They put it all together to make this happen. I couldn’t believe it until yesterday when I finally saw him. That was a very special moment. I’m very thankful to all the people who were involved in this.”

Abreu has not hit to his nor the Sox’s expectations in his third season, and it has weighed heavily on the 2014 American League Rookie of the Year and All-Star whose OPS (.964, .850, .770) and slugging percentage (.581, .502, .438) have dropped – as well as his home run and RBI totals – each year.

Being away from his son also has weighed heavily on Abreu, probably more. Perhaps knowing he will be around more often will put him in a better frame of mind to perform. He went into Tuesday’s game against the Kansas City Royals batting .275 with 14 homers and 60 RBIs. With 25 doubles, he’s on pace for a career high 36.

At the very least, he’s on pace for a happier last two months of the season, at least personally.

“You can tell it picked up his spirits of late knowing this was going to happen,” Ventura said.

WHITE SOX 7, ROYALS 5 (10 INN.)

Frazier homers in 10th The ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Todd Frazier hit a three-run homer in the 10th inning, and Justin Morneau had four hits to lift the White Sox over the Kansas City Royals, 7-5, Tuesday night.

Frazier is tied for the major league lead with 31 homers, and this one came on the first pitch from Kelvin Herrera (1-4) after a single by Jose Abreu and a double by Morneau.

David Robertson (3-2) blew a save in the ninth when Alcides Escobar’s twoout single scored pinch-runner Jarrod Dyson.

Dan Jennings struck out Eric Hosmer to end the game, logging his first career save.

Sox All-Star left-hander Chris Sale is 0-3 in five starts since a July 2 victory over Houston. He gave up three runs and seven hits in the first 21/3 innings but did not allow a hit after that.

He threw 115 pitches in seven innings, striking out seven and walking one.

After Edinson Volquez retired the first two hitters in the fifth, the Sox used five straight singles to score three runs and lead 4-3. Melky Cabrera, Abreu and

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Stranger things have happened, so maybe there is a connection between Jose Abreu’s anticipated reunion with his only son, Dariel, this week, and his rediscovered power stroke.

Abreu was a happy man Tuesday, a day after he flew to his home in Miami to see his 5-year-old son on the White Sox’s off day. This weekend, Dariel will see his father play in person for the first time when the Sox play at the Miami Marlins.

“I’m very happy,” Abreu said through translator Billy Russo. “I’m very happy to have my son with me here. I want to thank everybody involved in that process to help him to be with me right now. It was a long process but finally we did it. And we are together again.”

home runs during his first two seasons after coming to the major leagues from Cuba – Abreu hit three in four games going into Tuesday’s game.

“You can tell he’s got a little bounce in his step,” Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “He has been dreaming for this a long time.”

Ventura, a father of four, added, “I can’t imagine that, what that is. He’s a great guy, and I know he always wants to do the right thing, so this is pretty important to him.”

Abreu had no choice but to leave his son behind with his mother when he defected from Cuba to sign a $68 million contract with the Sox. Dariel, who turns 6 next month, now has a five-year visa that will reduce the separation time and ease the hurt.

“Everything in that process has been difficult for us,” Abreu said.

And then there are moments like these, which balance out the difficulty.

“He’s excited just to be with me,” Abreu said. “He wants to see me play, but he’s more excited to be with me.”

Dariel did not accompany him to Kansas City, instead staying with Abreu’s parents in Miami.

Ledecky claims 2nd gold medal in Rio

By PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO – Michael Phelps sat alone, thoroughly exhausted. He put his head in his hands and then motioned at his neck as though he had nothing left to give.

No need.

His work was done.

He had his 20th and 21st gold medals.

Phelps made up for one of the rare losses in his brilliant career by winning the 200-meter butterfly, a triumph that sent him climbing into the Katie Ledecky stands to kiss his 3-month-old son, Boomer. An hour later, he returned to take what amounted to nothing more than a triumphant victory lap in anchoring the 4x200 freestyle relay, the crowd’s deafening roar growing louder with every stroke.

This was another performance for the ages, but Phelps has done it so many times that nothing else would have been fitting. It came on a night that American teammate Katie Ledecky picked up her second gold of the Rio Olympics on the way to what could be a historic run of her own in the pool.

Phelps now has 25 medals in all, and three more races in Rio to add to his almost unimaginable total.

The 200 fly was the one he really wanted, and it showed.

With challengers all around, Phelps simply wouldn’t be denied.

After touching the wall first – by a mere four-hundredths of a second – he held up one finger. Then he sat on a lane rope, egging on the roaring crowd at the Olympic Aquatics Center with both hands, before emphatically pumping his fist.

Phelps held off Japan’s Masato Sakai with a time of 1 minute, 53.36 seconds, but that number was of little concern.

The relay was much less dramatic.

Conor Dwyer, Townley Haas and Ryan Lochte went out ahead of Phelps, handing off a commanding lead to the most decorated athlete in Olympic history.

Phelps essentially spent the next 100 seconds or so soaking up the cheers. He was only the third-fastest swimmer on his team, but he was a full body length ahead of Britain’s James Guy when he touched in 7:00.66.

Ledecky took the most challenging step toward a feat that’s only been done one other time, holding off Sweden’s Sarah Sjostrom to win the 200 freestyle and give the American star her second gold of the games.

Debbie Meyer is the only female swimmer to capture the three longest freestyle events at a single Olympics, winning the 200, 400 and 800 at Mexico City in 1968. Ledecky looks like a lock to match Meyer, having already won the 200 and 400 titles and an overwhelming favorite in the 800, where she’s the world-record holder and far faster than anyone else in the world.

WOMEN’S GYMNASTICS

Karolyi’s ‘Final Five’ U.S. team golden

By WILL GRAVES

The Associated Press RIO DE JANEIRO – Martha Karolyi leaned forward, her hands clutching the railing in front of her seat. Knuckles white. Head tilted. Body tense.

It didn’t matter that the U.S. women’s Olympic gymnastics team already had sewn up the team gold by the time threetime world champion Simone Biles saluted the floor exercise judges during the final event isn’t enough for Karolyi. Never has been. For 90 seconds the longtime national team coordinator leaned one way and then another, following Biles’ every move. Only after Biles’ score was posted – one that served as an exclamation point on two hours of nearly flawless gymnastics – did the architect of a dynasty relax.

Then, something else happened.

Something she never saw coming. She started crying. And not just a little.

“I pride normally being very tough,” Karolyi said. “I was, ‘Oh, what’s happening to me? What is this?’ ” It’s goodbye.

The 73-year-old is stepping away from the program she has spent the past 15 years turning into one of the most dominant forces at the Olympics. Her athletes – all of whom she’s nurtured from prodigies to champions – repaid her hard work with a fitting tribute of precision and tenacity.

U.S. women’s gymnastics team coordinator Martha Karolyi celebrates her team’s performance Tuesday in Rio de Janeiro.

Twenty eight times in two days they stepped up to compete. And 28 times they hit. No falls. No major wobbles. Nothing but brilliance.

The U.S. posted a score of 184.897, more than eight points clear of silver medalist Russia and almost nine more than bronze medalist China while winning its second straight Olympic title and third overall, a margin greater than the one that propelled the “Fierce Five” to victory in London four years ago.

So much for the pressure of being the heavy favorite. The only real mystery surrounded what nickname the team would settle on before Biles stumbled upon it during a group text.

The group – Biles, Aly Raisman, Gabby Douglas, Madison Kocian and Laurie Hernandez – dubbed themselves “The Fi-

nal Five” as a nod to Karolyi.

“It’s perfect,” Biles said. “It’s Martha’s last year. We wanted it to be meaningful.”

Biles admitted there were nerves before Sunday’s preliminaries, although it hardly looked like it while the Americans posted the highest score by more than nine points. The only moment of tension Tuesday came early. When Hernandez was introduced to the crowd, Raisman nudged her and told her to wave, which the 16-year-old did with a toothy smile.

Barely five minutes later, the youngest member of Team USA was all business. Her double-twisting Yurchenko vault – basically a roundoff onto the block followed by a pair of twists – put the machine in motion. Raisman, who won three medals in London four years ago and seemed to be on the outside looking in as recently as this spring, followed with perhaps the finest vault of her long career. When Biles drilled her Amanar and put up a 15.933 – tied for highest of the night – the U.S. already was on top of the leaderboard and everyone else was playing for second.

Russia’s Aliya Mustafina said before the competition the Americans were “unbeatable.” China’s Shang Chunsong said her team “aimed for the silver medal,” a position China seemed to have in hand until stumbling on the final rotation.

The top spot was never in doubt.

American archer Ellison advances by beating friend For American archer Brady Ellison, there’s no better feeling than moving on – and no worse feeling that it was at the expense of his best friend.

Ellison made it through the second round of the men’s archery tournament Tuesday by knocking off teammate/hunting buddy Jake Kaminski.

Stevens takes silver in judo at 81 kilos

American Travis Stevens won a silver medal in the men’s 81-kilogram division in judo, losing to Russia’s Khasan Khalmurzaev in the final.

In the final, Stevens appeared to have a lapse of concentration that allowed Khalmurzaev a slight gripping advantage, and that was enough to let the Russian throw Stevens for an ippon score to automatically end the contest.

Stevens then crouched over, his hands covering his face.

U.S. gymnasts (from left) Simone Biles, Gabby Douglas, Laurie Hernandez, Madison Kocian and Aly Raisman hold their gold medals Tuesday during the medal ceremony for the women’s team competition at the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Defending champion Serena Williams is out of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics after a stunning loss in the third round of singles.

The No. 1-seeded American was beaten, 6-4, 6-3, Tuesday night by Elina Svitolina of Ukraine.

Williams made 37 unforced errors, including eight double-faults – five in one game.

She and sister Venus lost in the first round of doubles.

Serena Williams looked out of sorts and irritated, shanking shots from side to side. Williams had five double-faults in one game alone in the loss to the 20th-ranked Svitolina.

Williams wiped her forehead, picked up her rackets and headed back quickly to the locker room.

Svitolina, who had never played in an Olympics, smiled and stuck her arms out in front of her, palms up, as if waking from a dream.

Svitolina won 63 points, but only nine from clean winners. The others came thanks to Williams’ 37 unforced errors and 17 forced errors.

Colombia players celebrate their 2-2 draw with the United States in a Group G match Tuesday at the Summer Olympics in Manaus, Brazil.

WOMEN’S SOCCER: UNITED STATES 2, COLOMBIA 2

Americans settle for draw, still win group

By ANNE M. PETERSON The Associated Press

MANAUS, Brazil – In the first few moments Hope Solo had to reflect after the U.S. team’s 2-2 draw with Colombia on Tuesday, she already had perspective on the two goals Catalina Usme got past her.

“I’ve been around the game long enough to know that it’s part of the position,” Solo said. “I don’t wish it on anybody. Being a goalkeeper is extremely difficult. But I’ve been around long enough to know that these things do happen – they’ve happened to me before.

“You just hope that they happen few and far between.”

The draw, although disappointing, did not have much impact on the defending Olympic champions. The United States still emerged at the top of Group G and will play in the quarterfinals.

Usme beat Solo with a pair of free kicks. The first, in the 26th minute, was Colombia’s first Olympic goal and Colombia’s first goal against the United States.

The second came from a tight angle as time ran out.

At 18, Mallory Pugh became the youngest player to score for the United States in an Olympics with her goal in the 59th minute, giving the Americans a 2-1 lead. Olympic newcomer Crystal

Dunn also scored.

The U.S. women’s team, the reigning World Cup champion, is vying for its fourth straight Olympic gold medal.

“It is what it is,” U.S. captain Carli Lloyd said. “I’d rather two goals get let in like that in this game than in a quarterfinal, a semifinal or a final match.”

Pugh came into the game as a firsthalf substitute for midfielder Megan Rapinoe, who played in her first match since having ACL surgery in December.

In addition to Rapinoe, U.S. coach Jill Ellis made several other changes to her starting lineup, sitting regular starters Alex Morgan, Tobin Heath and Meghan Klingenberg. Julie Johnston, who sat out the second game with groin injury, was also on the bench.

Morgan came in after the half for Lloyd. Pugh went in when Rapinoe was pulled in the 33rd minute as temperatures hovered in the upper 80s.

In other matches Tuesday, the final day of group play, Melissa Tancredi scored both goals as Canada defeated Germany, 2-1, in Brasilia.

The 10th-ranked Canadians will face No. 3 France in a quarterfinal match in Sao Paulo on Friday. Les Bleus defeated New Zealand, 3-0, Tuesday in Salvador.

Michelle Heyman scored twice as Australia defeated Zimbabwe, 6-1, in Salvador. Australia will face Brazil, which played South Africa to a scoreless draw.

RIO DE JANEIRO – Here at the Confrontational Games, Olympians get booed for sport. In less than a week, they have been booed for cheating, booed for being Russians, booed for being cheating Russians, booed for representing rival Argentina, booed for stinkin’ it up at home (Brazilian men’s soccer team), booed for playing a lackluster first quarter (U.S. men’s basketball team) and booed for fearing the Zika virus (Hope Solo). No one has been booed for taking in air, but it’s early.

These Olympics are not for the naïve or passive. The initial unrest over Brazil’s poor preparation set a tone.

Reinstating Russian athletes after the country’s doping scandal touched a nerve. The constant controversy surrounding almost everything Rio 2016 lit a fuse. Now the fighting spirit has overtaken the Olympic spirit.

Into this mess walked Lilly King on Monday night. The freckle-faced, 19-year-old from Evansville, Indiana, is now a gold medalist and a doping vigilante. She celebrated her Olympic record-setting triumph in the 100-meter breaststroke by verbally pummeling her newfound nemesis, Russia’s Yulia Efimova, the second-place finisher who has tested positive twice for performance-enhancing drugs in her career.

“It’s incredible – winning the gold medal and knowing I did it clean,” King said.

Her antics, which included more tough talk and a post-race splash in Efimova’s lane, have sparked international debate about sportsmanship, cheating and patriotism. But ultimately, it’s about law and order. It’s about justice, which non-doping athletes don’t think they received when the International Olympic Committee cleared 271 Russian athletes to participate here despite a state-sponsored doping conspiracy that led the World Anti-Doping Agency to recommend a blanket suspension of those athletes.

King wasn’t just ripping Efimova.

She was protesting the entire, mysterious governing system for creating an awkward situation. For certain, it was not good sportsmanship and even her coach advised her to take the high road.

But it’s hard to expect a principled person to stay clean when there’s dirt all around. King engaged. Efimova cried at the harsh reaction. And the IOC was left to observe the chaos it created because of feckless leadership and discipline.

King protests Olympic system that’s soft on drugs

AP photo

Gold medal winner Lilly King of the United States celebrates in front of silver medalist Yulia Efimova of Russia after winning the women’s 100-meter breaststroke final at the 2016 Summer Olympics on Monday in Rio de Janeiro.

“Usually in Olympic Games, all wars stop, [but] this is not fair,” Efimova said.

The system is definitely not fair to King, whose stance against PED users is so strong that she hints they should be punished in perpetuity, which is too harsh. And Efimova is right: The system is not fair to her, either, because she has been singled out and destroyed and forced to represent vast corruption.

Efimova isn’t exactly a sympathetic figure, but you must consider that we can’t yet grasp the enormity of Russia’s organized doping. We don’t fully understand the pressure that country put on these athletes to perform at the highest level and how that impacted individual doping decisions. What’s a 24-year-old such as Efimova to do in such an environment?

The IOC was focused on whether to punish Russian athletes. But it also neglected the issue of how to protect them with the scandal so fresh, the facts so incomplete and an international audience so eager to vilify.

This is what happens when the IOC essentially leaves the athletes to figure out a problem themselves. If you want them to be cute Olympians and live out that nice, tidy Olympic story, then create a nice, tidy environment.

Otherwise, like a game that is poorly officiated, competitors will get heated, and incidents will occur.

American Michael Johnson, the four-time Olympic gold medalist who has held the 400-meter world record for 17 years, can explain why King spoke out so strongly.

“I think the athletes should do what they feel they need to do, and I think some of the athletes feel they need to raise that concern with the public,” Johnson said. “They feel they have no other choice. They feel they’re competing against athletes who have had doping issues in the past, and they feel that needs to be highlighted. They have every right to do that, and I don’t think anyone should tell them they shouldn’t do that, or they can’t do that.”

In the rush to react with patriotism, many American viewers have used social media to turn the King-Efimova spat into the new Rocky Balboa vs. Ivan Drago. It’s a victory for American good over Russian evil. King and Efimova are flat characters in an Olympic tale that borders on jingoism. But these are merely two young women thrust into an instant rivalry, who had no idea that their finger-wagging and water-splashing in the pool would escalate into a worldwide hot topic.

Some good can come from this, but it has nothing to do with embarrassing a cheater or sticking it to the Russians.

It’s the fact that this controversy keeps the larger issue relevant. It keeps the IOC, WADA and FINA, swimming’s governing body, under fire to be better.

The Games aren’t overshadowing the ugliness and wrapping everything into a pretty package.

King is mad; Efimova is crying.

Other swimmers are starting to bark, too. And this is just one sport’s doping soap opera.

At the Confrontational Games, everything is being exposed. The truth is on the medal stand. The truth might start playing its own anthem soon.

“They should be able to just focus on their competition,” Johnson said of the clean athletes. “I’m sure they would prefer to do that. But they feel they can’t, and they have to say something because it’s not being said by anyone else. And I feel that’s a shame.”

Shame on the IOC, not the competitors. Shame on the lawlessness.

Shame on the fact that gold medalists must double as soldiers for change.

10 BEARS TRAINING CAMP

Speed could earn Thompson job

WR hopes to add another deep element to offense

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com BOURBONNAIS – The focus of the Bears’ deep-passing game in 2016 will be Kevin White, and understandably so, but they have another deep threat fighting to make the roster who can stretch the defense.

Deonte Thompson had two catches last season – for 81 yards. He showed his ability to fly both as a receiver and as a kickoff returner, and with injuries to Alshon Jeffery and Eddie Royal, he has received plenty of reps with quarterback Jay Cutler in training camp.

“I definitely can run, getting behind DBs won’t be too hard,” Thompson said Tuesday, “and we have a quarterback who can throw it, and he likes throwing it deep.”

The 6-foot, 205-pound receiver appeared in one game in 2014 and never has played in more than seven contests in a season. He spent time early last season on the practice squad before playing in the final seven games as the top kickoff returner, but Thompson has made big plays this summer as a

Bears receiver Deonte Thompson misses a catch during minicamp May 25 in Lake Forest. Thompson has caught several passes from quarterback Jay Cutler during the Bears’ training camp in Bourbonnais. receiver, where he said he is “going to show everybody” he has more than just speed.

“I work on every phase of my game,” he said. “Trying to be a better football player overall. Working on my receiver game, in and out of cuts, finishing catches, tough catches, things like that.”

That rapport with the starting quarterback was built in Tennessee this offseason, where Thompson joined Cutler and other receivers for workouts.

“It was a great experience. We connected on another level there as a whole group, receivers and quarterbacks,” Thompson said, adding that

Cutler has given the 27-year-old former Florida Gator some pointers.

Thompson also gets coaching from new Bears receivers coach Curtis Johnson, who recruited Thompson to play at Miami (Fla.) before Johnson went to Tulane, so Thompson went to Gainesville.

“I’ve learned a lot from him,” Thompson said about the vocal position coach. “… He’s a character. When he isn’t talking to you, that’s a problem. You want him to be talking to you.”

Thompson is in a competition at receiver with other holdovers such as Marc Mariani, Josh Bellamy and Cameron Meredith, plus seventh-round pick Daniel Braverman. Thompson, Mariani and Braverman also return kicks.

“To be honest, we know we’re competing for these spots, but we’re friends,” Thompson said. “We know the best man wins, whoever that may be. We just come out here and compete. We encourage each other, we give each other pointers. It’s not like we’re hating on each other. It’s just a great, friendly competition.”

When the preseason begins Thursday, Thompson will have chances to continue his strong summer as a receiver, and potentially separate himself in the return game, where he has big aspirations for 2016.

“I think this kickoff return unit will be very special this year,” he said.

NOTES

Bears leave Bourbonnais, prep for preseason opener

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com BOURBONNAIS – The Bears held their final open practice of training camp Tuesday at Olivet Nazarene University while they get set for Thursday’s preseason opener at Soldier Field against the Broncos.

“It’s all about that ‘exam.’ Those exams are those preseason games, and I can’t think of a better test than the defending world champs Thursday night,” Bears coach John Fox said.

Fox expects the starters to play the first quarter, the backups in the second quarter and then the third-stringers in the second half. The reps will increase for the top units the next two games before starters likely sit in the preseason finale.

Two players will be under the spot-

light for their first game in a Bears uniform – receiver Kevin White and linebacker Leonard Floyd. Without live tackling in minicamp or training camp – aside from Saturday’s practice at Soldier Field – the preseason allows for a better sense of how players react to being hit and tackling the opponent.

That microscope also will be on receiv- Kevin White er Alshon Jeffery, who caught passes during drills Tuesday but still was limited with his hamstring injury. Quarterback Jay Cutler said it’s important for Jeffery to get those live reps, and Fox echoed the importance for all players to get the preseason experience.

“Every player’s different, and

you’re trying to get ready for the ultimate test, and that’s Houston (in Week 1),” Fox said. “But those practice games, getting used to finishing, because we don’t finish on each other here at practice, so I think that little edge it takes to play live football against an opponent, everybody needs some of it as long as the body can do it.”

Jeffery told reportLeonard Floyd ers that no decision has been made yet as to his availability for the game, but he agrees it’d be worthwhile to get some work in.

“It’s always good to get on the same page in the preseason, so it can carry over to the regular season,” he said.

Injury report: OL Nick Becton (shoulder) was the only addition to the inju-

ry report. WRs Eddie Royal and Derek Keaton, TEs Zach Miller, Greg Scruggs and Ben Braunecker, and LBs Nick Kwiatkoski and Roy Robertson-Harris remained on the sideline.

Quick hits: The team worked on special situations, such as being backed up against its own end zone. QB Brian Hoyer found WR Deonte Thompson for a long gain out of play-action in that scenario … In red-zone work, White showed off his speed, reversing field on a short pass, and WR Marc Mariani caught a touchdown from Cutler …

The play that drew the biggest crowd reaction was a long pass from QB Connor Shaw to WR Kieren Duncan that was called back because of a penalty. …

QB Mark Sanchez and former Northwestern QB Trevor Siemian each will play a quarter of the first half for the Broncos on Thursday night.

WEDNESDAY

Confucius, a wise fellow, said, “By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third, by experience, which is the bitterest.”

Bridge is rarely as simple as one, two, three, but analyzing in logical steps is a great idea.

South is in four hearts.

West leads the club two.

How should East plan the defense?

The North hand was close to a two-no-trump opening, but not good enough. (If you count two points for an ace and one for a king, a typical two-no-trump opening contains seven points; this hand had only five.) East had an easy two-club overcall. South had a minimum two-heart response, but he was right not to make a negative double with a singleton spade, and he was too strong to pass. North,

knowing his partner had at least five hearts, jumped to game.

First, East should check the points -- a theme of all deals. Dummy has 19, East holds 11, and South promised 10. So, West’s main job is to avoid reneging!

Second, East can see only two defensive tricks: his aces. He must hope partner has led a singleton.

Third, East wins with his club ace and carefully returns the jack, his highest-remaining club being a suit-preference signal for spades, the higher-ranking of the other two side suits.

West ruffs the trick and shifts to a spade. Now East must complete his job by winning with the ace and leading a low club. When West ruffs with his second heart, it uppercuts the dummy and promotes a trump trick for East’s queen -- the fourth defensive trick.

NHL WINTER CLASSIC

Blues-Hawks at Busch NHL’s gift to St. Louis

By R.B. FALLSTROM The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS – Before the Rams left town in January, the St. Louis Blues were already in line to get an outdoor NHL stadium series game – just not the Winter Classic.

Team Chairman Tom Stillman credits the NHL for recognizing the city sorely needed a shot in the arm and scheduling the Blues against the rival Blackhawks on Jan. 2 at Busch Stadium.

“It’s something that St. Louis could use right about now,” Stillman said.

“They’re all great, but this is the big one.”

Commissioner Gary Bettman, executives from both NHL teams plus the Cardinals and former players attended a news conference at home plate in the first public forum since the announcement. As a centerpiece, goalie helmets from both teams flanked the mask of Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina.

“This is a major league city and unfortunately the NFL has not deemed us worthy, which I think is ridiculous,” Blues Hall of Famer Bernie Federko said. “It’s a soothing moment for sports fans because for our sport, this is the big hurrah.”

The Blues-Cardinals partnership no doubt was a major selling point. The teams are friendly competitors and illustrated that point not long after the Rams’ decision to leave for Los Ange-

les when Stillman and Cardinals President Bill DeWitt III dropped a ceremonial puck before a game.

DeWitt said the Cardinals had been “bugging” the commissioner “for a number of years in ways subtle and not so subtle” to bring the Classic to St. Louis. Bettman said there was “no hesitation” choosing St. Louis as site of the eighth Winter Classic.

“It was clear that both teams were coming together on behalf of the city and their fan bases,” Bettman said.

“Anybody watching would have appreciated that.”

The Cardinals have held a number of international soccer friendlies at Busch Stadium as well as major concerts, such as U2 a few years ago and Paul McCartney this weekend. The stadium still retains faint evidence of lines marking the pitch for a game between Liverpool and Roma on Aug. 1.

Now this will be the first experience of outdoor hockey for the city. In the days after the announcement in March, the Blues received more than 40,000 ticket inquiries.

For young Blues defenseman Colton Parayko, the lone current player in attendance, it’ll be his first outdoor game since he was with the Fort McMurray Oil Barons in juniors in 2010 or 2011.

“You come to Cardinals games and they’re pretty loud,” Parayko said.

“Having a chance to have an outdoor game is something you’ll remember the rest of your life.”

Expert Piechiatrist Kate McDermott is in

By KARA ELDER

The Washington Post Kate McDermott, the Piechiatrist, once spent 2½ years testing just crust recipes and owns 98 pie pans. She conducts workshops in her Port Angeles, Washington, home, which she has dubbed “Pie Cottage,” and holds frequent therapy sessions on Facebook Live. So, who better to turn to for piemaking advice – especially after pulling a somewhat soupy, seasonTry some pie al-fruit mess from the oven?

What is the most common mistake people make when baking pies?

They overwork their dough. And in doing that, the fats melt. [More on that below.] Also, pay attention to that little voice in you that says, “I think I need to go look at the pie now,” because that may be the time when the pie is going to boil over and you’re going to save it.

Recipes do not have to be original but must be complete. Winners are drawn every two weeks.

What are your key techniques for making crust?

Especially in hot weather, it’s important to keep everything chilled.

Keep your flour chilled, keep the mixing bowl chilled; remember that butter starts melting at 59 degrees. If the fat is melting, stop and put the mixture back in the freezer or refrigerator. You never want the fats to get too hot while you’re making the dough. And chill the filled pie before you put it in the oven.

What is your favorite dough?

My favorite uses a combination of leaf lard and butter. But there are a lot of good pie dough recipes out there. Use the one that works for you.

How do you avoid the dreaded soggy bottom?

Put a baking sheet or cookie sheet – some people even use a pizza stone – in the oven as it preheats, and place the filled pie directly on it. You want to give

Kate McDermott clowns around with dough. the well-chilled dough a blast of heat for at least 20 minutes to set the bottom crust. If you put it in at a moderate temperature, the crust will just feel like it’s at the beach and start to relax and melt.

My general rule is to bake for 20 minutes at 475 degrees F. and then 40 minutes at 375 degrees F.

Do you favor a particular type of pie pan over another?

I have 98 pie pans. I use them all. I think the standard old glass ones are just fine – plus you can see if your pie is done on the bottom.

I love all the French [ceramic] dishes: Le Creuset, Staub, Emile Henry. They tend to bake evenly and retain heat well.

Washington Post photo by Bill O’Leary

If you’re using a metal pan, make sure it’s not a bright, shiny one, because shiny deflects heat. If you’re using a disposable [aluminum] one, place it inside a glass pan so it has a sturdy surface and also better heat distribution.

How do you make sure your filling is set?

What do you do if a fruit pie isn’t bubbling at the end of baking?

Make sure you see steady bubbling coming through the vents. If it’s not bubbling, cut an “X” in the center of a large sheet of foil and put the foil over the pie, shiny side down; remember, the shiny side deflects heat. Crank the oven up to 450 degrees F. for five or six minutes, to blast it with heat. It’s now or never.

Coconut-Lime Cream Pie

Cream pies like this typically are too sweet, but that’s not the case here.

Coconut-Lime Cream Pie 8 to 10 servings (makes one 9-inch pie)

For the crust 9 rectangular graham cracker sheets (whole crackers with perforations), broken into 1-inch pieces (about 5 ounces) 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature For the filling 1/2 cup (3 ounces) coconut sugar, sifted 5 large egg yolks 3 tablespoons cornstarch, sifted One 13.5- or 14-ounce can full-fat coconut milk 1 cup whole milk 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 2 pieces and chilled 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 teaspoons finely grated zest and 2 tablespoons juice (from 2 limes) For the topping 2 tablespoons coconut sugar 1½ cups chilled heavy cream 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon finely grated lime zest Pinch salt

Deb Lindsey for The Washington Post

1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted For the crust: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Pulse the graham cracker pieces in a food processor for 30 to 60 seconds to a fine-crumb consistency, breaking up stubborn pieces with your fingers as needed. Add the butter in pinches; pulse 15 to 20 times, until the mixture is the consistency of coarse sand. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate; use the bottom and sides of a dry-ingredient measuring cup to press the crumbs firmly and evenly to form a crust.

Bake (middle rack) for 20 to 22 minutes, until fragrant and set, rotating the pie plate front to back halfway through. Let cool for at least 30 minutes.

For the filling: Whisk together the coconut sugar, egg yolks and cornstarch in a mixing bowl until well combined.

Combine the coconut milk, whole milk and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat; after 4½ to 5 minutes, once a

few bubbles begin to appear at the edges, transfer 1 cup of the mixture to the egg yolk mixture, pouring gradually and whisking constantly; this will temper the yolks so they don’t scramble.

Gradually pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan (still over medium heat), whisking constantly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, whisking, to form a thick, glossy custard. Remove from the heat. Whisk in the butter (one piece at a time), vanilla extract, and lime zest and juice. Pour into the pie crust shell, smoothing the surface. Lay a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface. Refrigerate for about 2 hours or until firm.

Meanwhile, make the topping: Grind the coconut sugar in a dedicated spice grinder until powdery. (Don’t skip this step, or the topping will be grainy.)

Combine the heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of the ground coconut sugar, the vanilla extract, lime zest and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer or handheld electric mixer; beat on medium-low for 1 minute, then increase the speed to high and beat for 1½ to 2 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Taste, and beat in the remaining tablespoon of coconut sugar, as needed.

When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap from the filled pie. Spread the topping evenly over the filling, then sprinkle with the toasted coconut.

Two pies – one cream, one fruit – are all summer

• PIE

Continued from page 3 Blueberries and nectarines are two fruits that don’t often go together, but this pie proves how well they do. The crust contains barley flour, which lends a slight sweetness and complements the tart berries and stone fruit.

Blueberry-Nectarine Lattice Pie 8 to 10 servings (makes one 9-inch pie)

For the crust 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for the work surface 3/4 cup barley flour (see headnote) 1/2 cup fine stone-ground yellow cornmeal 1 teaspoon sugar, plus more for optional sprinkling 1/2 teaspoon salt 10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 1/3 cup cold fresh grapefruit juice 1 large egg, lightly beaten, for egg wash (optional) For the filling 3/4 cup (156 grams) sugar 5 tablespoons cornstarch, sifted 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander 1/4 teaspoon salt 1¾ pounds (about 5¼ cups) fresh blueberries 1½ pounds very ripe nectarines (about 5), pitted and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (3 1/2 cups) 3 tablespoons fresh grapefruit juice Water For the crust: Combine both flours, the cornmeal, sugar

and salt in a food processor and pulse until well mixed. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture forms coarse crumbs, with a few almond-size pieces remaining. Sprinkle the grapefruit juice over the mixture, and pulse until the dry ingredients are evenly moistened and large clumps just start to form.

When you squeeze some of the fine crumbs between your fingers, they should hold together.

Turn out the dough and divide it into 2 portions, one slightly larger than the other. Shape the dough into two 1-inch-thick disks. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.

Lightly flour a large sheet of parchment paper. Unwrap the larger disk of dough, place it in the center of the paper and cover it with its plastic wrap. Roll into a 12-inch round, occasionally lifting and replacing the plastic wrap. Flip it over and peel off the parchment, then lift the dough with the plastic wrap and flip it into a 9-inch pie plate, gently pressing it into the bottom and up the sides. Discard the plastic. Refrigerate until ready to fill.

Unwrap the remaining disk of dough and repeat the rolling, using the same parchment and rolling the dough into an 11-inch round. If the dough has softened, slide it on the parchment onto a pan and refrigerate until firm. Use a fluted or straight-edged pizza/pastry cutter or a sharp knife to cut the remaining dough into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Slide onto a large flat plate or pan and refrigerate.

For the filling: Stir together the sugar, cornstarch, coriander and salt in a large bowl. Add the blueberries, nectarines and grapefruit juice. Toss gently to coat; let stand while the oven preheats.

Position a rack in the lowest third of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, shiny side up. Place the pie plate on the baking sheet.

Stir the filling again, then transfer it to the pie plate.

Brush water on the visible edges of the pie crust dough in the plate. Arrange half of the dough strips on top in parallel

lines, spaced apart as you like. Fold back the strips at the center of the pie. Place a dough strip perpendicular to the other strips across the center of the pie. Unfold alternating strips over the perpendicular strip. Set down another perpendicular strip 1 inch apart from the first and unfold the remaining strips over it. Repeat the folding, placing and unfolding to create a lattice top. Or simply place half of the strips on the pie, spacing them an inch apart, and place the remaining strips perpendicular to them, spacing them an inch apart.

Use a pair of kitchen shears to trim the strips and bottom edge to a 3/4-inch overhang. Fold the overhang under and decoratively crimp the edges with a fork or fingers. If the dough has softened, pop the whole pie into the freezer until the dough is firm again, about 10 minutes. For a sparkly top, brush the lattice with some of the beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake for 30 minutes; if the crust seems to be browning too quickly, tent the pie with aluminum foil, shiny side down.

Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is strongly bubbling. If after 40 minutes the filling isn’t strongly bubbling, cut an X in the center of the foil tent and replace the tent, shiny side down. Return the oven temperature to 450 degrees and bake 5 minutes more, at which point the filling should be bubbling.

Cool (on the baking sheet) on a wire rack until barely warm.

Carefully lift the pie plate off the foil; set it on the rack until the filling is set, at least 6 hours.

Chrissy Teigen offers variation on Caprese salad

By ELIZABETH KARMEL

tomatoes around the cheese.

Cut a small opening in the burrata/mozzarella ball so you can see the center, and then drizzle olive oil all around the platter.

Drizzle balsamic vinegar on the tomatoes and arugula. Season the entire salad with the salt and pepper and top with the prosciutto crisps.

Caprese Salad With Crispy Prosciutto

The Associated Press

The Caprese salad of fresh mozzarella, basil and tomatoes is universally loved.

I personally make it all summer long and although I mix up the tomatoes based on what I can buy at the farmers’ market, it is virtually the same every time.

Since it is tomato season and we waited a long time for this moment, I looked for a new take on a summer favorite – and found it in “Cravings,” model Chrissy Teigen’s cookbook she co-wrote with Gourmet magazine alumna Adeena Sussman.

Teigen adds a few new elements: She uses burrata – fresh mozzarella with a creamy center – and cuts the tomatoes in different shapes and sizes, some slices, some wedges. She omits the traditional basil and adds arugula and delicious, crunchy prosciutto chips which take this Caprese from ordinary good to extraordinary great.

The prosciutto chips (she calls them crisps) are easy to prepare and make such a difference I can’t believe that I never thought of baking thin slices of prosciutto into “chips.” You

can substitute them in almost any recipe that calls for bacon. Once the prosciutto bakes and cools, it is crispy and crunchy, salty and addictive.

You’ll find this a welcome addition to an already popular summer recipe.

4 cups baby arugula

1 (8-ounce) ball burrata or fresh mozzarella cheese 2 pounds assorted ripe tomatoes cut in a variety of shapes (wedges, slices, chunks, etc.)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Arrange the prosciutto in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake until wrinkled and slightly shrunken, 11 to 13 minutes. (It will crisp as it cools.) Cool, eat whole as a snack, or crumble and use as a garnish for salads, eggs, or anything that could use crispness and ham. (For me, that’s everything.)

“To confront violence against women and children in McHenry County”

Chocolate Peanut Butter Baked Doughnuts

Doughnuts can be made healthier in the oven

By MELISSA D’ARABIAN The Associated Press

Doughnuts are my kryptonite.

Fried sweet dough dipped in glaze, and then dunked into a cup of steaming-hot coffee? Yes, please. And I will give this to you straight: once or twice a year, I’m all in. I load up the car and take the kids to our favorite doughnut spot, and we throw caution to the wind.

But for the average Sunday-brunchtype of indulgence, a girl needs a plan. I wanted to create a doughnut that would scratch the itch on a more semi-regular basis. And the baked version is just the ticket.

I make a doughnut in perhaps my favorite flavor of all time – peanut butter chocolate – that truly feels like a major indulgence, while it’s actually just a minor one, thanks to a few tricks.

First, get yourself a full-sized baked doughnut tin, stat. Not to sound bossy, but this will change your life. Or at least your weekend.

Second little trick: Use a lot less

sugar than you would use for a cake recipe. The little bit of sugary glaze will make the doughnut taste sweeter than it is, because it’s on the outside.

Third trick: I use three kinds of chocolate – melted chocolate and cocoa powder (both unsweetened) and then just a couple of tablespoons of mini-chocolate chips, which even in small quantities add a gooey-melted chocolate vibe that says “today is special.”

Lastly, I use defatted peanut flour (also called dried peanut butter). It has all the flavor and a fraction of the calories of peanut butter, perfect for smoothies and baked goods.

And as a bonus, these doughnuts can be made gluten-free.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Baked Doughnuts Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 6 doughnuts

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1 square unsweetened chocolate, melted 1/3 cup brown sugar (or 1/2 cup if you

want sweeter) 1 large egg 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon white or cider vinegar 1/2 cup lowfat milk 3/4 cup flour 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter (or peanut flour) 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips For the glaze 1 tablespoon powdered peanut butter (“peanut flour”) 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder 2/3 cup powdered sugar 2 tablespoons milk 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a small bowl, sift the flour, cocoa, dried peanut butter, baking powder and soda and salt together. Add the chocolate chips and toss to coat. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until mixed.

Spray a doughnut baking tin with nonstick spray. Scrape the batter into a 1-quart re-sealable plastic bag and snip the corner to make a 1/2-inch opening. Pipe the batter into the doughnut molds.

Bake until doughnuts are dry and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together the glaze ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Once the doughnuts are cooked, allow to cool a few minutes before removing from the mold. Allow to cool to the touch and then dip the prettier side (the side that was in the mold) into the glaze and set on baking rack for the glaze to cool and harden.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large glass bowl, whisk together the butter, chocolate and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg, vanilla, vinegar and milk and whisk together.
