KIRK VS. DUCKWORTH

Illinois race could determine which party holds the U.S. Senate

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com The race between Republican incumbent U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk and Democratic challenger Tammy Duckworth is an interesting and important one, even against the backdrop of one of the most unusual presidential races in recent memory.

Illinois voters will have a signifi-

cant say in whether the GOP keeps control of the Senate and, should Hillary Clinton win the White House, the makeup of the U.S. Supreme Court. Kirk, deTammy spite having repeatedly Duckworth broken with his party and tacked leftward on a number of issues, is considered by

many pundits to be the most vulnerable Republican in the Senate this election. The seat he is trying to win for a second six-year team was that of President Barack Obama before Kirk won as part of the 2010 tea party wave that returned the congressional majority to the GOP. What’s more, the race could be a historical first in that both major-party candidates are disabled veterans.

Kirk, who served 22 years in the Navy Reserve as an intelligence officer, is recovering from a debilitating stroke he suffered in 2012. Duckworth, who flew Black Hawk helicopters in the Illinois Army National Guard, lost both her legs and suffered other serious injuries in 2004 when her helicopter was shot down in Iraq by a rocket-propelled

McHENRY

Police: $36,000 worth of heroin seized in largest single operation

By JORDYN REILAND jreiland@shawmedia.com When members of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Police Narcotics Task Force located 180 grams of heroin from a McHenry residence last month, they had seized the largest amount of heroin at one time by the department alone.

After searching Brian Freund’s McHenry residence July 26 in the 3900 block of Main Street, police also recovered two scales, packaging materials and $963.

Freund was not home during the search but turned himself into the McHenry County Jail and was released the same day after posting bond. The McHenry County Sheriff’s Police Narcotics Task Force estimated the heroin seized has a street value of about $36,000.

Members of the task force have worked over the past 12 months to get ahead of the

Mike Muraski McHenry County Sheriff’s office countywide “heroin epidemic” with the assistance of the state’s attorney’s office, confidential informants and other stakeholders.

McHenry County Sheriff’s Sgt. Mike Muraski said the biggest difference has been an increase in information provided by community members through tip lines or other means of communication.

“We’ve seen a lot of specific tips regard-

ing heroin and it seems like the community is realizing that there is a problem and they’re trying to help now,” Muraski said.

“Years ago, it was almost an embarrassment if your son or daughter overdosed or if they got arrested.”

Muraski said it’s important for residents to come forward with information because the presence of heroin in McHenry County isn’t just a law enforcement issue, it’s a community issue as well.

The narcotics task force is also working closely with the state’s attorney’s office to help drug users get the treatment they need, while focusing much of their efforts on finding and apprehending drug dealers, Muraski said.

Anyone with information regarding criminal activities can contact McHenry County Crime Stoppers at 800-762-STOP, the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office tip line at 815-338-2144, or email tipline@ co.mchenry.il.us.

Algonquin Village Board to consider Randall Road pedestrian underpass About $415,000 spent on engineering consulting

By HANNAH PROKOP hprokop@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – The village of Algonquin is considering building an underpass for pedestrians and bicyclists to cross Randall Road, years after plans fell through for a pedestrian bridge at Randall Road and Bunker Hill Drive.

Algonquin Public Works Director Bob Mitchard said more than 10 years ago, the village started looking at the feasibility of creating a crossing over Randall Road and determined a bridge would be the best option.

The bridge project reached phase two engineering about two years ago, when it was determined that it had to be stopped because of conflicts with nearby properties and AT&T infrastructure at that location, Mitchard said.

At its Committee of the Whole meeting Tuesday, the Algonquin Village Board

agreed to consider approving phase one design services for the Randall Road pedestrian underpass with Christopher B. Burke Engineering.

“Now because we’ve gone to an alternate location and an alternative design of an underpass, which is midblock between Bunker Hill Drive and Harnish Drive, that whole process of feasibility for phase one and phase two has to start over,” Mitchard said.

Mitchard said $300,000 was budgeted for the phase one costs for the underpass from the street improvement fund, but the engineer estimates the services will cost about $204,000.

About $415,000 was spent in engineering consultant fees for the bridge project, Mitchard said, but with 80 percent of the project paid in federal funds and 10 percent paid by McHenry County, the village’s share was about $40,000.

The village will not be eligible for federal funds for the underpass, however, Mitchard said.

“The village erred in their judgment in the location, and now we have to go

to an alternative,” he said. “So now the reimbursements will not be available.”

The village will pay an estimated $250,000 for phase two engineering of the underpass, Mitchard said, and be eligible for federal funding for the $4 million to $5 million construction costs of it.

At Tuesday’s meeting, Trustee Brian Dianis said it was “a shame” the bridge didn’t work out; however, Mitchard said he thinks the underpass is a better option.

The underpass, near Jacobs High School, will be an estimated 14 to 18 feet wide, and 120 to 130 feet long, Mitchard said.

The underpass will be easier to maintain than a bridge, Mitchard said, and will be decorated with art from local students.

All trustees present agreed to move the item to be voted on at the next Village Board meeting, 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Ganek Municipal Center, 2200 Harnish Drive, Algonquin. Trustee Jim Steigert and Village President John Schmitt were absent.

What better way to celebrate life and history than a pageant? During the 1920s through the 1940s, cities and towns across McHenry County engaged in centennial pageants, a retelling of a community’s collective history. They could be informal affairs or fairly intricate – with a parade and master of ceremonies, detailed printed programs and schedules lasting several days.

Formal or informal, large or small, the pageants shared common features. They involved many local organizations, businesses and churches. There were exhibits, performances by local actors, choral numbers, speeches and storytelling. It was a decidedly public and patriotic ritual. The focus was to celebrate the richness of the people’s culture, ethnicity, history, accomplishments and significant events. It was a way to stay grounded in the past while looking forward to the future with excitement and anticipation. And at the end of the day, all could feel proud and connected. Pictured are a portion of the program for the 1936 centennial pageant in McHenry. For information, visit www.gothistory.org.

Summer vacation winding down Beginning this week, it’s back to school for McHenry County students

By SAMANTHA MOORE smoore@shawmedia.com With summer drawing to a close, some McHenry County students will begin going back to school this week.

As students settle down to learn a new year’s worth of material, it’s an appropriate time to catch up on some school facts gathered by the U.S. Census Bureau.

Whether it was a new pair of gym shoes or an outfit for the first day of school, back to school shopping adds up. In August of 2015, the estimated sales at family clothing stores was $8.8 billion, according to Monthly Retail Trade and Food Services.

As for school supplies, $17.7 million was the reported value of United States’ imports of rubber erasers in 2015, according to International Trade Statistics.

In preparation for a plethora of papers, $256.9 million was the value of binder and folder imports to the U.S. in

About 160 students attended Central’s first Advanced Placement Boot Camp on July 28 and Aug. 4, according to a news release from the school. The one-day sessions were for students enrolled in their first AP classes this fall.

“We want to be more proactive in supporting students who choose to take on the rigor of AP courses.” said Michelle Streit, Humanities division leader, in the release. “We put together a one-day AP Boot Camp for all first-time AP students.”

Experienced AP students applied to be leaders and ran the camp. The goal of the one-day session was to help students understand the rigors of AP courses, according to the news release. Students focused on team-building, communication, organization, stress management, reading, and study skills.

The idea came from discussions at a Model School conference that Central teachers attended. They also

“I was looking to learn new habits and tips that will help me to be successful in AP classes,” Timmerman said in the news release. “I learned the importance of using your classmates as a resource, and that the teachers really are looking to help you. The biggest thing I learned was the importance of time management.”

Students completed an exit survey so organizers could gain feedback to revise the AP Boot Camp for next year.

“We will continue to offer this boot camp in the future,” said Steve Knope, International Studies division leader.

“We continue to challenge students academically. An important part of this is supporting them and building their capacity to manage challenging coursework.”

The number of students taking an Advanced Placement course continPhoto provided ues to increase in District 155. During About 160 Crystal Lake Central students who will be taking AP courses for the first time the 2015-16 school year, 1,763 students this fall attended one-day AP boot camp sessions this summer to prepare them for the took an AP course. challenging courses.

Jaycees Family Days provides family-friendly fun

By NATE LINHART nlinhart@shawmedia.com

CARY – Cary-Grove Jaycees Family Days continues Sunday, featuring attractions, prize booths, food and musical entertainment for local residents.

The weekendlong event, hosted by Cary-Grove Jaycees, a local community leadership organization that serves Cary and Fox River Grove, has carnival rides provided

by Windy City Amusements along with a ton of game booths for children. Additionally, there are animal rides taking place at the event where children get the opportunity to ride around on the back of a pony or camel.

Drinks and food were provided by local food vendors, with food items including churros, giant pretzels, funnel cakes and other tasty treats.

Cary Days hasn’t been around since 2009, but Cary-Grove Jaycees recently decided to rebrand it and bring the family-friendly event back to the community.

“The Cary-Grove Jaycees used to have this event about eight years

ago, but then it stopped,” Jaycees President Tracey Joyner said. “The community really wanted to see it come back. So a few months ago we started throwing ideas around, and it just built from there.”

One of the festival’s many attendees included Cary resident Gail Anderson, who came out with her husband and two kids. Anderson said it was nice to be able to spend a day with her family at a local venue.

“We used to go to the Cary Days, but the kids haven’t been to a carnival since then, so it’s nice to have one in town again,” Anderson said.

The event started Friday and Daryl Quitalig for Shaw Media goes through Sunday.

Orthopedic Update VITAMIN D FOR WINTER BABIES There is increasing evidence that factors in utero and in early infancy can influence long-term skeletal growth and peak bone mass.

Researchers are using this information to stave off weaker bones in infancy and childhood that may predispose children to osteoporosis when they become adults. To this end, the Food and Nutrition Board at the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies recommends that pregnant women take 600 international units (IUs) of vitamin D daily. (Most prenatal vitamins provide only 400 IUs per tablet.) This recommendation is particularly important for mothers who give birth to “winter babies” because sunlight is the most important source of vitamin D, and exposure to sunlight tends to drop during the winter months.

From observational studies, it is also possible that babies from supplemented moms will have higher muscle mass, lower fat mass and lower risk of asthma and allergies. To schedule an appointment, please call ORTHOILLINOIS at 815-398-9491. We are located at 750 E. Terra Cotta Ave. in Crystal Lake. From the moment you arrive, we’re focused on making you feel welcome and comfortable.

Our team is committed to providing you with a higher standard of care that is centered on returning you to a more pain-free and active life.

P.S. Babies’ bones strengthen during the last stages of pregnancy.

Metra to conduct safety blitz at Crystal Lake train station NORTHWEST HERALD CRYSTAL LAKE – Metra will be stopping by the Crystal Lake train station for its next safety blitz in the area.

Operation Lifesaver Safety Blitzes will be conducted at 45 train stations throughout 2016, according to a news release from Metra.

From about 4:30 to 8:15 a.m. Tuesday Metra employees will be at the Crystal Lake station, 70 E. Woodstock St., to help raise awareness of the importance of safe behavior around Metra trains and tracks.

Metra employees will be distributing educational materials about train and crossing safety, answer questions and listen to safety concerns from commuters.

A short video about grade crossing safety also will be available for view-

ing while commuter wait for the train.

“At Metra, safety is always our highest priority,” Metra’s Executive Director and CEO Dan Orseno said in the release. “These safety blitzes allow us to reach pedestrians and drivers in a targeted, hands-on way to ensure that we all stay vigilant about safety around the railroad.”

Illinois has the second-largest rail system of any state, according to the release, and last year Illinois ranked second in the nation in highway-rail fatalities. About 24.5 percent of vehicle versus train collision happened at crossings with active warning devices, according to the release.

Following the Crystal Lake event, the next safety blitz stop in McHenry County will be at about 5 a.m. Sept. 14 at the Fox River Grove station, 4015 N. Northwest Highway.

CENTEGRA HOSPITAL-HUNTLEY

Referendum added to County Board agenda Canceled committee meeting jeopardized question’s future KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – An advisory referendum aimed at marshaling support for anti-corruption laws to remove money from politics has a second lease on life for the Nov. 8 ballot.

The cancellation of the McHenry County Board committee that was next set to debate the referendum at first prevented it from appearing on the full board agenda Tuesday, which is the last County Board meeting before the Aug. 22 deadline to put referendums on the ballot. But a behind-the-scenes push got it added for a Tuesday vote.

Woodstock resident Scott Gessert, who has asked the board during its past several meetings to advance the question, said he was happy that the

question will have a chance, but was upset that it almost didn’t. He is the McHenry County leader of the national grass-roots group Represent.Us, which is pushing nationwide for anti-corruption legislation.

“I am concerned that it took such an effort to get a simple advisory referendum through committee. I’m looking forward to the community coming forward to show their support for this initiative,” Gessert said.

If put on the ballot by the County Board, voters in one yes-or-no question will be asked whether they support prohibiting politicians from taking campaign money from special interests they regulate; increasing campaign funding transparency; allowing voters to contribute to candidates through a tax-rebate voucher; placing limits on how much super-PACs can raise and spend; and prohibiting elected officials and their senior staff from participating in lobbying activity for five years after leaving office.

The question mirrors one that appeared on ballots last year in Winnebago and DeKalb counties – voters

“I am concerned that it took such an effort to get a simple advisory referendum through committee.

I’m looking forward to the community coming forward to show their support for this initiative.”

Scott Gessert, Woodstock resident approved them both. A similar effort is underway to get the question put before Boone County voters.

While the question passed through the Management Services Committee on a 6-0 vote last month, members amended the resolution to send it to the Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs Committee, which deals with how federal and state initiatives affect the county, before proceeding to the full board. But the committee’s Friday meeting was canceled because not enough people could attend, Chairman Nick Provenzano, R-McHenry, said.

Provenzano agreed Friday to allow it to go forward to the full County Board, seeing as how it already had a positive recommendation from anoth-

er committee. He said there was nothing afoot in his meeting cancellation to prevent the nonbinding question from moving forward.

Management Services Committee Chairwoman Tina Hill, R-Woodstock, said Friday she is glad that the group’s request will get a proper hearing. She pushed Friday to get the question added to next Tuesday’s agenda.

“Let’s have a debate on it,” Hill said.

The County Board already has put an advisory question on the ballot asking voters whether the board’s size should be reduced from its current size of 24 members.

The meeting starts at 7 p.m. at the county Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock.

The following is a list of places to give blood. Donors should be age 17 or older or 16 with a parent’s consent, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good health.

Continued from page A3 grenade. Both retired at the same officer grade – Kirk a commander, and Duckworth a lieutenant colonel.

While Kirk has called his regular departures from the GOP platform a matter of putting principles before party, Duckworth’s campaign has called it an attempt to pretend he’s a Democrat in a blue state that tends to vote even bluer in presidential elections. Twenty-four of the 34 Senate seats up for election this year are held by Republicans.

But this doesn’t mean that Kirk and Duckworth see eye-to-eye on a lot.

Kirk has steadfastly opposed plans by Obama to settle refugees in the U.S. from the Syrian civil war until a more thorough way to screen out terrorists hiding among them can be implemented. Duckworth, like many of her fellow Democrats, supports resettling with the current level of scrutiny. While Duckworth signed on to a letter supporting bringing in 100,000 refugees – 10 times what Obama first suggested – her campaign has steadfastly denied Kirk’s allegations that she wants

to bring in 200,000 refugees.

Duckworth supported the Iran nuclear deal, saying that the U.S. could not walk away from the agreement drawn up among its allies and attempt to negotiate alone.

Kirk has been among the loudest critics of the deal, which he alleges gives Iran a path toward developing nuclear weapons.

Among Kirk’s breaks with the GOP are his support of giving Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland hearings for the position, and for Democratic gun-control initiatives supported by Duckworth, most recently with expanding background checks and preventing terrorism suspects from buying firearms in the wake of the Orlando nightclub shooting. He is the only Senate Republican with an “F” rating from the National Rifle Association.

Kirk, who said earlier in the presidential race that he would back whichever Republican candidate emerged as the nominee, changed his mind when that turned out to be Donald Trump.

Kirk has publicly distanced himself from Trump and said he had not “demonstrated the temperament” for the presidency in the wake of comments in which Trump said that a Mexican-American judge could not fairly try a

lawsuit filed against Trump University. Kirk did not attend the Republican National Convention.

Both Senate candidates enter the race with some past and present political baggage. Duckworth was named in a lawsuit alleging workplace retaliation during her time as the head of the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs – the case, which had been scheduled for an August trial, was settled in June.

While Kirk has repeatedly blasted Trump’s comments, he is himself prone to gaffes and misstatements, such as a statement last year in which he called an unmarried fellow senator a “bro with no ho.” And while Duckworth’s campaign has repeatedly tried to tie Kirk to Trump, she had ties with former governor and now federal inmate Rod Blagojevich, who appointed her to the veterans’ affairs post.

Kirk served five terms representing part of the north shore in the U.S. House before his 2010 election to the Senate. Duckworth was elected to the House in 2012 after defeating one-term Republican firebrand Joe Walsh, whose district, like others, was redrawn after the 2010 census by the Democrat-dominated Illinois General Assembly.

Nuclear waste

One of the most worrisome aspects of nuclear energy is what to do with the spent fuel.

Nuclear waste now is stored on-site at plants, including Braidwood. No national storage site has been approved, although one in Nevada has been proposed for years. The United States does not allow re-use of nuclear fuel.

The tour at Braidwood included a stop at the spent fuel pool, where rods are easily visible in the electric blue water. Fuson pointed out the 88 shiny

• Sunday, August 14, 2016

BRAIDWOOD – Just getting around the staggered rows of concrete blocks and barbed wire on the way to the front door of the Braidwood Generating Station suggests that a tour of a nuclear plant is unique.

There are checks for security, checks for radiation and lots of waiting before moving through iron turnstiles and steel doors.

“If you brush up against anything, let us know,” Peggy Warnick, communications manager at the Braidwood plant, said at the start of a tour last week.

Not that you’ll do any harm to the plant, said Adam Fuson, a reactor engineer doubling as a tour guide last week. But someone will be sent out to check just to make sure.

“Every piece of equipment has its rules,” Fuson said.

The Braidwood Generation Station, which began producing nuclear power in 1988, was re-licensed earlier this year to keep operating until 2048.

Confidence in the future of nuclear power, however, may have been shaken in June when Exelon Generation, which owns and operates all six nuclear plants in Illinois, announced that it would close two – Clinton and Quad Cities – when it did not get state legislation seeking subsidies the company claims would even the playing field with solar and wind energy.

The company is gearing up for another push to get the legislation passed.

Braidwood’s future does not appear to be threatened, since the plant’s economic viability is enhanced by its proximity to the Chicago power market.

In the meantime, Exelon is happy to provide tours of its plants, provided visitors go through the necessary background checks. The company encourages tours, Warnick said. She is required to line up at least 15 a year.

“We do a lot to educate,” Warnick said. “We found that the best way to defuse fear it to make people more aware.”

DEFUSING FEAR

Braidwood nuclear plant aims to increase public awareness through educational efforts

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com

Two Exelon operators monitor one of two nuclear reactors Tuesday at the Exelon Generation station in Braidwood. rods with new fuel, which recently arrived, and the darkened rods that have already been used.

Asked what would happen if the water was not covering the rods, Fuson gave a direct answer: “We’d be dead.”

But with an engineer’s assurance, he described the process of keeping the rods underwater even when they are moved to dry casks, which are submerged into the pool for the transfer, to be stored outside and make more room in the pool. The casks have 26inch thick walls made of concrete and steel, Fuson said.

At other points in the tour, Fuson noted procedures and policies in place to safeguard the plant.

Two of everything

“We always have an extra turbine on hand,” he mentions during a visit to the Turbine Building.

The two immense turbines connected to each of the two reactors produce the steam that creates the 2,389 megawatts of power that the Braidwood plant is capable of generating.

“If anything’s important here,” Fuson said, “we have two, if not four, of them.”

In the Control Room, two operators are dedicated to each reactor, monitoring dials and screens and checking constantly for needed adjustments.

Supervisor Chuck Winters pointed out that when a reactor operator needs

to make an adjustment, the assistant checks on what is done to ensure it’s correct.

The control room operators go through training every five weeks, he said.

“Everything that’s going on in the plant is monitored from here,” Winters said. Other operators constantly walk through the plant looking for leaks or other problems that might develop.

“This plant’s clean,” said Duke Morrison, a senior radiation protection technician who also chairs a Safety Committee that looks for hazards in the plant. “We’re very aggressive to make sure we have our areas as clean as possible.”

Morrison manned a checkpoint where visitors as well as workers headed for the spent fuel pool were monitored for radiation. Whole Body Monitors and then Portal Monitors equipped with red lights and green lights and buzzers to keep workers standing in position until the radiation check is done.

“Everyone who comes in this way has to go out this way,” Morrison said.

Nuclear future

More than 800 workers are employed at the Braidwood Generating Station.

Their jobs do not appear to be jeopardized by Exelon’s plans for the Clinton and Quad Cities stations.

State Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, whose district includes the Braidwood plant, said she has talked with Exelon representatives and has not been told of any interest in closing Braidwood.

Rezin, whose district also includes Exelon’s Dresden station in Morris and the LaSalle station, said those plants appear safe as well. But Rezin does back legislation sought by Exelon and hopes to see it considered in the coming year.

“One of the advantages of having a business in Illinois is the low cost of power,” Rezin said. “That’s why it’s important to address this legislation that allows these two nuclear plants to continue, so we don’t lose our base load of power.”

If Exelon gets what it wants, it’s going to have some cost to ratepayers, something which Gov. Bruce Rauner has noted. Exelon has pegged the average cost at 25 cents a month, but opponents have placed it at $3.

Opponents question Exelon’s claim that it wants a level playing field.

Tim Judson, executive director with the Nuclear Information and Resource Service, noted that the nuclear plants were built with support from utility rates.

“To have a level playing field, they’d have to do more for renewables than nuclear, that’s for sure,” Judson said.

“The playing field is stacked in favor of nuclear and fossil fuels.”

Rauner vetoes automatic voter sign-up

By JOHN O’CONNOR and IVAN MORENO The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Bruce Rauner vetoed automatic voter registration in Illinois Friday, saying that despite overwhelming support in the General Assembly, the legislation doesn’t do enough to safeguard against fraud.

Although embracing the concept and pledging to work on revisions, the Republican’s veto message battered the plan for what he perceives as weaknesses that invite breakdowns in the system’s integrity.

“The consequences could be injurious to our election system,” Rauner wrote. “We know that non-citizens have registered to vote in Illinois after obtaining a driver’s license and voted in recent elections. ... Each of these cases of voter fraud was caught by immigration officials, not the state of Illinois.”

Rauner signaled all spring he liked the idea, telling reporters at the opening of the Illinois State Fair as late as Friday morning that he advocates “making sure that everybody who should vote gets out and votes and to ease the process.”

The veto caught proponents on their heels.

“What a jerk,” said House Majority

ments that a voter be told of his or her eligibility, that he or she affirms eligibility and that an application is signed.

He said it puts too much responsibility on the State Board of Elections to verify voter eligibility. Elections officials say a one-stop verification system prompted by legislation last year did not meet the July 1 deadline for implementation and it’s still not ready.

Sen. Andy Manar, a Bunker Hill Democrat who sponsored the plan, pointed out the measure was one of the few areas of agreement last spring between Democrats and Republicans.

“The governor talks a lot about the need to streamline bureaucracy and cut government waste,” Manar said in a statement. “Automatically registering voters would have allowed us to do exactly that.”

Manar said he’ll continue pushing the idea.

Rauner isn’t ruling out the idea, suggesting the agencies registering voters use available data to verify citizenship instead of relying on the elections board – with which they can’t legally share that information. He wants agencies to notify visitors if they’re already registered, and at what address, so if they want to change voting information, they can without duplication.

3 killed in ‘historic’ Louisiana floods

By BILL FULLER, MELINDA DESLATTE and MICHAEL KUNZELMAN The Associated Press BATON ROUGE, La. – As the floodwaters swallowed Lyn Gibson’s two-story home, she hacked away on a hole near the roof, desperately trying to get to safety.

She used a saw, a screwdriver and her feet, knocking her way through wood, vinyl and sheet rock.

“I just kept picking and hitting and prying until I could get a hole big enough,” the slightly-built, 115-pound woman said. “I would saw for a while. I’d kick at it for a while.”

Eventually, Gibson made it out of her Tangipahoa Parish home with her dogs, and they were all rescued by National Guard soldiers on a boat. It was one of thousands of rescues after a deluge dropped more than a foot of rain on parts of Louisiana, submerging roads, cars and homes.

At least three people were killed across the state.

In another dramatic moment, two men on a boat pulled a woman from a car that was almost completely underwater, according to video by WAFB. The woman, who is not initially visible on camera, yells from inside the car: “Oh my god, I’m drowning.”

One of the rescuers, David Phung, jumps into the brown water and pulls the woman to safety. She pleads with Phung to get her dog, but he can’t find it. After several seconds, Phung takes a deep breath, goes underwater and resurfaces – with the small dog.

Both the woman and dog appeared to be OK. Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards declared a state of emergency, calling the floods “unprecedented” and “historic.” He and his family were even forced to leave the Governor’s Mansion when chesthigh water filled the basement

“That’s never happened before,” said the governor, whose family relocated to a state police facility in the Baton Rouge area.

Rivers and their tributaries swelled and bulged beyond their banks.

During an aerial tour, an Associated Press reporter saw homes in parts of rural Tangipahoa Parish that looked like little islands among flooded fields. Farmland was covered and streets descended into impassable pools of water.

In the Livingston Parish city of Denham Springs, a suburb of Baton Rouge, en-

tire shopping centers were inundated, only roofs of cars peeking above the water. And in many places, the water was still rising, with days expected before rivers were expected to crest.

Earlier in the day, Edwards said more than 1,000 people had been rescued. That number appeared to at least double by the end of the day, when Livingston Parish Sheriff Jason Ard said 2,000 people in his parish alone had been rescued, and more people still await help.

“We haven’t been rescuing people. We’ve been rescuing subdivisions,” he said. “It has not stopped at all today.”

GOP could be nearing Trump breaking point

By STEVE PEOPLES, JILL COLVIN and JOSH LEDERMAN The Associated Press ALTOONA, Pa. – The Republican Party could be nearing a breaking point with Donald Trump.

As he skips from one gaffe to the next, GOP leaders in Washington and in the most competitive states have begun openly contemplating turning their backs on their party’s presidential nominee to prevent what they fear will be wide-scale Republican losses on Election Day. Back in 1996, the party also largely gave up on nominee Bob Dole once it became clear he had little chance of winning, so it’s not without precedent.

Nevertheless, it’s a jolting prospect now, with roughly three months still left before the Nov. 8 vote and weeks before the three presidential debates.

Republicans who have devoted their professional lives to electing GOP candidates said they believe the White House already might be lost. They’re

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump pauses Friday during a campaign rally in Altoona, Pa. exasperated by Trump’s divisive politics and his insistence on running a general election campaign that mirrors his approach to the primaries.

“Based on his campaign record, there’s no chance he’s going to win,” said Sara Fagen, the political director for former President George W. Bush.

“He’s losing groups of people he can’t get back.”

Trump’s campaign said things are moving in the right direction, a position that itself

feeds the discontent among his GOP detractors. The billionaire businessman’s loyalists said enough time remains to change the dynamic against Democrat Hillary Clinton who, like Trump, is deeply unpopular with voters.

And his backers are blaming the media for the perception that all is not well.

“Frankly, a lot of stuff over the last week ... it’s him being distorted,” said Trump’s campaign chairman, Paul

Manafort. “For the last week or so, he’s been very focused and very much on his game.”

Trump did show some modest improvement as a candidate in the past week. He has stopped criticizing a Muslim family of a fallen U.S. soldier.

Gone are the fights with some of his party’s most respected members of Congress.

But also in the past seven days, Trump has questioned the advice of senior aides, threatened to stop raising money for the party, dismissed the usefulness of get-out-the-vote efforts and defended his decision not to run any television ads even as his opponents fill the airwaves with spots backing Clinton in several contested states.

It all largely overshadowed the content of 44 previously unreleased email exchanges Clinton had while at the State Department. They became public Tuesday and showed her interacting with lobbyists, political and Clinton Foundation donors and business interests while serving as secretary of state.

To some Republicans, it’s enough for the party to give up on their nominee. More than 100 GOP officials, including at least six former members of Congress and more than 20 former staffers at the Republican National Committee, have signed a letter asking the party Chairman Reince Priebus to stop helping Trump’s campaign.

Senior Republicans in Washington and in some of the most contested states have discussed a scenario in which the party scales back its presidential focus in states that don’t feature top races for Senate. They could abandon a state such as Virginia, for example, and focus more on a state such as Indiana, where Democrat Evan Bayh is trying to make a Senate comeback.

That’s according to several Republican officials in Washington and states that would be affected, including Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire.

They spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity to outline private discussions.

By LOLITA C. BALDOR The Associated Press MARINE CORPS BASE QUANTICO, Va. – The U.S. Marine Corps is looking for a few more good women.

And this time the campaign is a bit different. Marine recruiters are turning to girls high school sports teams to find candidates who may be able to meet the Corps’ rigorous physical standards, including for the front-line combat jobs now open to women.

Marine Commandant Gen. Robert Neller said he wants to increase the number of women in the Corps to 1 in 10.

“I’ve told them that 10 percent is where we want to go and they’re working on it,” Neller told The Associated Press in an interview. “Go recruit more women. Find them. They’re out there.”

For years, only about 7 percent to 8 percent of the Corps, which numbers 184,200, has been women. It’s the smallest percentage of women among all the military services. But on the heels of the Pentagon decision to allow women who qualify to serve in combat jobs, thousands of new infantry, armor and other front-line posts now are open.

Neller said he wants to see women in some of those posts. That order now rests with Maj. Gen. Paul Kennedy, head of the Marine Corps’ recruiting command.

Kennedy is aggressively recruiting women for the service. He’s sending targeted mailings, changing advertising to better represent female Marines, and traveling the country to meet with coaches and female athletes who might be well-suited for the rigors of Marine service.

In particular, Neller believes female wrestlers are good candidates.

“We looked at that and said, ‘Wow, that’s kinda what we’re looking for,’ ” he said. “They’re disciplined, they’re fit, they’re focused on their mission.”

Kennedy said the Marines, for the first time, are mailing recruiting literature to thousands of high school girls.

Also, updated advertising will show active-duty female Marines doing their jobs on the battlefield.

Already he’s gone to the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association conference and has targeted wrestling and other sports gatherings this year.

In those sessions, he said, he is working to debunk misconceptions about women in the Marine Corps, including worries about sexual harassment and sexual assault, limits on career options, lack of stability and difficulties having a family life.

The other military services attract far more women, and may be viewed as more receptive than the Corps, whose slogan used to say it was looking for “a few good men.” The current slogan is more inclusive: “The Few. The Proud.

The Marines.”

The key, Kennedy said, is to get to influencers – parents, coaches – and convince them that their daughters, their athletes, will be treated fairly. And he said he allays fears that women would be forced into combat jobs they don’t want.

The recruiters, however, know it won’t be easy. Data suggests they have to contact twice as many potential applicants to find a female candidate as they do to find a man. So far, very few are interested in the combat jobs.

In suburban Chicago, Marine Maj. Shanelle A. Porter, commanding officer for Recruiting Station Chicago, said most women coming in the door just want to be Marines, but so far two women have said they were looking for front-line roles.

The women, she said, want to be pioneers.

“They’re looking for that challenge,” Porter said. “They’re trying to show we can do it, too.”

OUR VIEW

Plant seeds of learning The last half of the calendar year is not typically a time one thinks about starting anew – that mentality is usually associated with the spring and the growth that comes with it.

But August is truly a time of planting seeds – at least in the minds of area students.

The first districts in McHenry County head back to class this week, with others starting the weeks of For the record Aug. 22 and 29. The signs of that are everywhere: From Students themselves are the school supply displays more than just passengers in area stores to the teachalong the way – in many ways, ers who have been setting they should be the drivers on up classrooms in buildings their educational journey. recently cleaned by area custodians, it’s evident we’re on the cusp of a new academic year.

Whether you’re a parent wondering how your child will do this year, an educator aiming to plan that perfect first day or a student hoping they will be seated next to a best friend, there likely is some anxiety as that first day approaches.

But there also is a sense of excitement, as a new school year also comes with the hope that this could be the best grade level yet.

That hope can be realized if all involved take on a team mentality, with every member committed to providing a successful educational experience.

Teachers have to plan engaging lessons and provide opportunities for all students to explore different ways to learn. Administrators need to implement goals that can be met. School boards need to be good stewards of tax dollars. State lawmakers need to make sure any new laws they pass do not add any more unfunded mandates to already taxing districts.

Parents need to partner with educators by making sure their child does homework, is attentive and respectful in class, and encourage them to do their best.

And the students themselves are more than just passengers along the way – in many ways, they should be the drivers on their educational journey.

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.”

That is sage advice from the incomparable Dr. Seuss.

Students have the power to have a great school year by investing in their education by participating in class, engaging in extracurricular activities and setting personal goals to continually add to their body of knowledge.

Our wish is that the excitement and hope that permeates that first day of class remains throughout the year, and the seeds planted now yield a great crop when students hear the final bell of the 2016-2017 academic year.

ANOTHER VIEW

GOP wise to rethink Garland It has been almost six months since Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died unexpectedly, and almost five months since President Obama nominated Merrick Garland, the widely respected and centrist chief judge of the federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., to succeed him.

Because of obstructionism

by Senate Republicans, however, the Senate is no closer to holding a hearing on Garland’s nomination, much less voting on it. Meanwhile, the court has divided 4 to 4 in some cases, preventing a definitive resolution of important issues including the legality of Obama’s executive action temporarily granting deportation relief and work permits to 4 million immigrants.

Within hours of Scalia’s death, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced he wouldn’t act on a new nom-

ination by invoking – or, rather, inventing – the principle that a Supreme Court vacancy that occurs in a presidential election year can’t be filled “until we have a new president.” At the Republican National Convention, McConnell put it more bluntly: “I made [a] pledge that Obama would not fill this seat.” If he follows through on that promise, it would leave the court hamstrung by its 4-4 split, possibly through its entire 2016-17 term.

This is shameless partisanship, and it also could be self-defeating. As Obama has warned, continued obstructionism on the Garland nomination could lead to “an endless cycle of more tit for tat [that would] make it increasingly impossible for any president, Democrat or Republican, to carry out their constitutional function.” That’s a message the president and Senate Dem-

ocrats need to revive when the Senate returns to work after Labor Day. Given the Republicans’ recalcitrance so far, such pressure might seem pointless.

But where principle might not move Senate Republicans to do the right thing, politics might.

With Donald Trump lagging in the polls, McConnell and his colleagues probably are asking themselves whether confirming Garland in this Congress wouldn’t be preferable to waiting to see who might be nominated next year by a President Hillary Clinton.

That course would be especially attractive if Clinton won and Garland’s nomination was considered during a postelection lame-duck session.

If the Senate takes its responsibility to the Constitution seriously, it will act even sooner than that.

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.

continued. The same may be happening now. In 2015, New York’s murder rate rose, but it decreased in 2016, reversing the 2015 increase. Even in Baltimore, where murders rose sharply last year, homicide has fallen by 9 percent this year.

Second, with the murder rate at such historic lows, increases measured in percentages may be misleading. Context is important. Portland, Oregon, for example, experienced a 19 percent increase in murders in 2015 as a result of just five additional killings. Politicized voices often omit these important caveats.

The bottom line: Some cities are seeing a rise in homicides. But the country is not experiencing a national murder wave or a reversal in the long trend of decreasing crime.

We all want our families, children and police to be safe. And we all want to live in safe neighborhoods. But stoking false fear about crime will not bring or preserve “law and order.”

That’s why the nation’s most prominent police and prosecutor groups, representing 30,000 law enforcement officials, wrote to Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton on the eve of the conventions to urge them to take a data-driven, modern approach to crime – one that targets violent crime while reducing the unnecessary incarceration of low-level offenders. States that have employed these practices have seen crime and incarceration fall together, which preserves resources for law enforcement.

Law enforcement isn’t the only entity that’s changed its stance on crime policy after decades of seeing what has and hasn’t worked. Many

“As two strong conservatives, let us set the record straight.

These statements on rising murders are highly misleading.

The truth is Americans still are experiencing hard-won historic lows in crime.” conservative leaders, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) and Newt Gingrich, agree. The Republican Party platform also has adopted a similar approach.

To be sure, as Kennedy and Abt note in their op-ed, Americans do believe crime is rising. An April 2016 Gallup poll found 53 percent of Americans worry “a great deal” about crime. It’s important that our country’s leaders keep the public’s concerns in mind. But stoking fear with twisted data and dangerous rhetoric doesn’t help, nor is it the best way to support our police.

If we care about law and order and changing the dire conditions in cities where violent crime is a perpetuating cycle, we need to rely on facts, not fear.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Who’s looking out for the little guy in District 3

To the Editor: As a District 3 resident in McHenry County, it was good to read of the County Board approving the long-awaited relief plan for non-dedicated roads. Living on one of these pothole-filled, gravel roads, I never could understand paying the same county and McHenry Township road taxes as one with a “paved” road. The local association (Fair Oaks Homeowners Association) I belong to could not even get our members to patch the road. The whole process, so to speak, does pit neighbor against neighbor.

I think the efforts of outgoing board member Nick Provenzano are appreciated in defending the relief plan and getting the issue to pass. What we can’t under-

stand is Don Kopsell’s “no” vote. When he ran for election, he came out for getting nondedicated roads paved and discussed the issue in your newspaper. If Kopsell voted “no” here, but would vote “yes” for the Randall Road-Route 62 bypass, a bigger project cost, one has to question his reasons on this vote. Who is going to look after the little guy now in District 3, like Provenzano did? I don’t think it’s going to be Don Kopsell.

There has been a surge of assertions about rising crime recently.

At the Republican convention in July, GOP nominee Donald Trump said, “Decades of progress made in bringing down crime are now being reversed by this administration’s rollback of criminal enforcement.”

The Manhattan Institute’s Heather Mac Donald echoed these concerns, noting homicides increased by nearly 17 percent in the 56 largest U.S. cities last year and citing sharp rises in Baltimore, Chicago and the District of Columbia. In an op-ed in last Sunday’s Washington Post, Sean Kennedy and Parker Abt made the same case.

As two strong conservatives, let us set the record straight. These statements on rising murders are highly misleading. The truth is Americans still are experiencing hard-won historic lows in crime.

When examining statistics on crime, researchers evaluate several factors: overall crime, violent crime, homicide and property crime.

By 2014, violent crime had fallen by half from its 1991 peak. Property crime was down 49 percent. Crime overall was 66 percent lower in major cities. No one disputes this decades-long trend.

Moving on to 2015, crime data collected directly from police departments in the 30 largest cities show crime overall was the about same as in 2014 (in fact, it was down 0.1 percent). Violent crime was up by 3 percent, and murder by 13 percent.

This is reasonably consistent with

the FBI’s June 2015 midyear report, which showed violence up 1.7 percent and murder up 6 percent nationally, and the oft-cited Justice Department study by criminologist Richard Rosenfeld that found murder to be up 17 percent in major cities in 2015.

These numbers put the 2015 murder rate near 2012 levels – still very near to all-time lows.

This rise in homicide is alarming on its face. But half of 2015’s murder increase occurred in Baltimore, Chicago and the District of Columbia – the very cities those pushing the crime panic repeatedly use as examples. While we must work to address the issues driving this unacceptable localized violence, it is not the norm.

These cities are outliers. As for violent crime overall, half of 2015’s increase came from a spike in aggravated assaults in Los Angeles.

Turning to 2016, data from the Major Cities Chiefs Association show homicides rising 15 percent at midyear. But, again, Chicago caused nearly one-third of that increase.

Additionally, the MCCA study relies on self-reporting and therefore does not include cities such as New York, where homicide decreased. And its focus on cities, where murder rates are usually higher, likewise must be taken into account. The report shows a partial slice of the picture, making it difficult to draw conclusions about 2016.

Two more cautionary notes. First, some yearly variation is normal. For example, 2005, 2006 and 2012 all saw rises in violent crime. Each time, crime rates flattened or dropped soon thereafter, and the downward trend

By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO The Associated Press NEW YORK – The deep-fried Twinkie is jumping from the state fair to the home freezer.

Hostess Brands, the maker of lunchbox treats like Ho Hos, is launching packaged “Deep Fried Twinkies” that mark its first foray into frozen foods.

The cream-filled snack in vanilla or chocolate is the result of a yearlong collaboration between Hostess and WalMart, as both companies look to spark food sales with innovative products.

Battered and partially fried before being frozen, the Twinkies need to be finished for a short time in the oven, toaster oven or frying pan. They’ll cost $4.76 for a box of seven and for the first three months are available only at WalMart.

It has a “retro cool factor,” says Ellen Copaken, Hostess’ vice president of marketing. “It plays into the comfort food trend. And it’s fun.”

The Twinkie, long one of Hostess’ largest sellers, is a bigger business now than even right before the company filed for bankruptcy in 2012, Copaken said. Executives had considered developing a deep-fried version, like those seen at local fairs, but put the plans on hold until Wal-Mart approached them last summer.

For Wal-Mart, which gets more than half of its sales from food and other groceries, the partnership is part of a strategy of working closely with suppliers to come up with new twists on existing foods or developing new ones, and getting them to the shelves faster. The company opened a food lab in June for that teamwork, a process that can cut costs and shave several months off a product launch, says Charles Redfield, executive vice president of food

The food lab at the company’s Bentonville, Arkansas, headquarters has 10 test kitchens and space to accommodate 12 individual taste tests at a time.

Specific feedback from customers gathered there gets shared with suppliers to determine if an item needs more work. Being tested now: new flavors for its store brand sparkling water, frozen stuffed doughnut bites, and vacuum-packed Paleo meals.

“Most of our customers have a desire to eat healthier,” Redfield said.

“But at the end of the day, it has to taste good. Great healthy things that don’t taste good don’t do well.”

Hostess has given a nod to the healthier options, reformulating its Mini Muffins with fruit, no artificial flavors and more whole grains. But the Deep Fried Twinkies and candy-topped brownies are among several new treats it hopes will excite shoppers.

At nine grams of fat and 220 calories, the vanilla flavor of the Deep Fried Twinkies compares to 4 grams of fat and 130 calories in a regular Twinkie.

One expert says Americans still like a sugar fix, typically at the end of the day.

“We are trying to cut down on foods that are higher in sugar content,” said Darren Seifer, a food industry analyst at market research firm NPD Group Inc. “But there is still room for indulgence.”

Twinkies have been around since 1930, but the company’s financial woes had put their future in doubt. Hostess products came back after the company was bought in 2013 for $410 million.

U.K. expat Christopher Sell added a deep-fried Twinkie to the menu at his Chip Shop restaurant in Brooklyn about 15 years ago, and the idea took off at state fairs. Hot-dog chain Papaya King in New York sells them for $3

each, excluding tax, and they’re faring better than the deep-fried Oreos.

“We wanted to do a sweet and savory combo,” Papaya chain president Wayne Rosenbaum said. “The Twinkies seem to be the most popular.”

Hostess hoped to recreate the state fair staple, but it wasn’t easy. The company tested prototypes at its Kansas City, Missouri, headquarters, and considered making it a restaurant product. Then Wal-Mart approached them.

Executives at Hostess, which also has an office near Wal-Mart’s headquarters in Arkansas, came to Wal-Mart, and cooked in the kitchen with them.

“The original samples were pretty good,” said John Pearson, Wal-Mart’s senior buyer for frozen foods. “But the batter was a little lumpy.”

Hostess wanted a baking time of less than 10 minutes — with the right amount of oozing filling and a crispy texture.

Then there was the name. Hostess considered Carnival Twinkie, Boardwalk Twinkie and the Light and Crispy Twinkie. But Pearson and other WalMart executives encouraged Hostess to call them what they are: Deep Fried Twinkies.

When baked, the Deep Fried Twinkies do come out a bit crispy, but aren’t an exact match for the ones at fairs or restaurants.

“It’s really good. It’s delicious,” said construction worker Nick Severino of Yonkers, New York, who tasted a vanilla cream version.

Page Bondor, a Manhattan resident, wasn’t excited after trying it. “I like the original Twinkie,” she said. “This is a step too far.”

What sets the Hostess version apart, Copaken says, is the ease. “We eliminated the hard work and prep,” she said.

Healthy Hair Cells

Are you among the 1 in 6 adults suffering from hearing loss?

Damaged Hair Cells

CALL TODAY FOR A FREE HEARING SCREENING!

Do you sometimes feel people are mumbling or not speaking clearly? Do you find it difficult to follow a conversation in a noisy restaurant or crowded room? If so you might be interested in some recent findings.

The most common type of hearing loss is sensorineural, in which the inner ear becomes damaged. Sound travels through the ear canal, the ear drum (tympanic membrane), the middle ear, and is transmitted to the inner ear (cochlea). As sound-generated vibrations enter the cochlea, they cause microscopic hair cells to vibrate, which in-turn transmit neuro-electrical impulses to the brain. When these hair cells become damaged, they cannot vibrate in the appropriate way. The resulting impulses to the brain are dampened or garbled, making comprehension difficult or impossible. Damage to hair cells is irreparable. But compensation is possible.

It took years for your brain to learn to interpret the meaning of sounds. If the neurons that carry signals to the brain are experiencing prolonged lack of stimulation because of damaged hair cells (auditory deprivation), they degenerate, leaving

dead regions where certain sound frequencies can no longer be interpreted. In other words, “use it or lose it” applies to hearing too. Fortunately, recent advances in digital hearing technology make it possible to detect damaged and dead regions within the inner ear. Using “visual speech mapping” and “real ear measurement” processes, the highly trained audiologists and hearing instrument specialists at AccuQuest Hearing Centers (a national network of over 190 locations) can target regions of frequency loss and compensate for damaged hair cells. This targeted stimulation of neurons can aid in making speech comprehensible again.

Hearing loss, regardless of degree, can interfere with one’s ability to participate in a world that greatly depends on communication for social, educational, and occupational activities. Not all hearing loss can be fixed with hearing aids, but there’s a good chance we can help you with yours. Please give us a chance to help before your loss worsens.

VIEWS Jim Haisler bad. Again, someone who uses credit wisely won’t be negatively impacted. If you use a credit card and pay it off, it shows you might be a good risk.

Also, and most importantly, credit scores consider the amount of credit available to you and the amount of your balances. If you have just one card that is maxed out at $5,000, that is worse than if you have four cards with a total of $20,000 available but are only using $5,000: 100 percent debt versus 25 percent debt. Once you reach or pass 50 percent of your available limit, your credit score is impacted.

Making minimum payments on credit cards is a tough life to live.

Granted, if that’s truly all you can afford to make, then make the minimum, especially as compared to missing a payment and incurring the late payment discussed above. However, making minimum payments will take dozens of years to pay off a balance whereas adding just a few extra dollars to the payment will significantly reduce the time to pay off the loan. While this doesn’t directly impact your score, it does weigh into your percentage of use mentioned above.

Close old accounts. Ensure that when you leave a savings or checking account with a bank that you actually have it closed out. Lingering open accounts can affect your credit score as well as possibly cost you monthly fees.

And if those fees turn your account negative, that will impact your credit score. Again though if you have credit cards that you are not using, you may wish to leave them open to keep your available limit high. However, you may also need to use those accounts every so often or the creditor may close it for you, as I recently found out.

Be very careful with co-signed

accounts. Co-signing for someone else is no different than you opening your own account. You are responsible equally as the signer. Take extreme caution about with whom you might co-sign a loan as it will have an impact on your credit. Even if they are paying their loan it might impact your debt to loan ration if you try to get a mortgage. For instance a co-signed car loan for your son will still show on your credit report and reduce the amount of buying power you’ll have in getting a mortgage to buy a home. Co-signing a mortgage could affect you for 30 years!

Credit checks can hurt your score, too. If you are going to apply for a loan and shop around, each time a creditor pulls your credit, it may ever so slightly ding your score. Decide which lender you want to use before authorizing them to pull your credit to reduce the number of inquiries.

One of the best things to help your credit score is to monitor your credit score. Several websites exist that allow you to check your credit report for free. You should never have to pay for this. Some credit cards even give you your score for free, as well. Keep in mind this free check does not count as a credit report pulled as discussed above. Everyone is entitled to a free

annual credit report. If you notice a significant change in your score, pull a copy of your report. Errors can be cleared up but may take time to do so, so starting the process immediately – and before you need it – can be very beneficial.

Lastly, negotiate with lenders. If you know you are going to be late or miss a payment, contact the lender. If you’ve had a good history with them, they might be willing to work with you by allowing you to skip a payment or find some other avenue of assistance.

It’s always best to ask upfront than to beg forgiveness in this regard.

These are just a few simple things to consider when thinking about your credit score. Certainly, there are plenty of other tips to help, as well. Credit counseling services also are available to give you advice, as well. If you need further information, contact your local lender, banker, real estate professional or financial planner for help.

Likely, everyone has heard of credit scores, also referred to as FICO scores. These indicators are used in the finance world for determining one’s likelihood of repaying a debt.

The score ranges from a low of 450 to a high of 900. Oftentimes in the mortgage business, there are letter grades tossed about.

Lenders might discuss “A paper,” “B paper” or “C paper” when referring to a person’s credit score. The ranges for the categories often vary from lender to lender but often a score from the mid 700s up is considered “good” or in the “A Paper” range and likely will earn you the lowest interest rate or fees for a loan. Lower scores or grades likely will cost you a higher interest rate or sometimes even additional fees so it makes sense to try to maintain the best score possible. Let’s look at some ways to do that.

First, and obviously, paying your bills on time is the best way to keep a high score. Late payments are recorded by lenders to the credit rating firms and negatively impact your score.

Thirty day late pays get worse and every additional 30 days – 60, 90 and 120 – greatly reduce your scores. The impact of a late payment can rebound rather quickly in comparison to other flaws on your report, however. If you’re going to be late with a payment try to at least get it in within 30 days. On time payments accounts for a significant portion of your credit score – upward of 40 percent.

Next, the type of credit you have makes a difference. Term loans like a mortgage or auto loan are considered normal, necessary loans and can actually help build your credit score versus not having any credit history at all. A banker would rather see that you are making payments than that you’ve never had to make a payment, for example. Credit cards and other revolving debt are a riskier situation for lenders. But just because they are risky doesn’t mean they are

Smartphone fact-checking is a conversational irritant Dear Abby: How should I respond to someone who keeps her smartphone on and “fact-checks” anything that is mentioned in a group conversation? She’s my brother’s girlfriend, “Marla,” and she’s not a teenager. She’s in her late 40s. I consider it rude. She invariably interjects a comment to confirm or dispute whatever has been said by saying, “Well, according to ...”

I admit I don’t care for Marla for various reasons. However, she is perfect for my brother. To put it bluntly, I don’t trust either of them. I try to limit contact with them because I feel so strongly. Am I right, or am I overreacting? – Avoiding Contact Dear Avoiding Contact: Whether what Marla is doing is rude would depend upon why she feels compelled to factcheck during a conversation. If she does it as a form of one-upmanship, it’s

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips rude. If that’s not the reason, she may do it out of insecurity or a desire to participate in the conversation.

That said, because you don’t trust your brother or his lady friend, then it is only logical you would avoid them as much as possible.

Dear Abby: My mother is almost 80, and I am trying to figure out activities she can do at home. Her health is not great because she has had several strokes over the past few years and has limited mobility. Last year, I gave her some simple coloring books and crayons, and she did enjoy that, but she has told me she is kind of tired of coloring. She

adamantly has insisted she doesn’t want crosswords or word search books. Do you have any suggestions? – All Thought

Out In California Dear All Thought Out: Yes, I do. It is

very important for your mother’s mental health she exercise as many functions of her brain as possible. She should not be encouraged to spend all of her time at home. A senior center can help to give her structure and physical and mental stimulation. In her generation, connection with peers is important because it provides debate and socialization.

As to what she should be doing at home besides filling in the pages of coloring books, consider activities she did in the past such as knitting, chess and watching sports or soap opera.

Dear Abby: With all of the racial tensions going on, and an attack on the local police force, there doesn’t seem

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

to be much escape. My husband thinks that watching the news is my “duty,” and I have been doing it to the point of having anxiety attacks. Is it our duty to surround ourselves with the negative so much that we forget the fun part of life? –

News Overload In Texas Dear News Overload: If the news is hav-

ing a negative effect on your health, you need to ration it. Rather than inform, I’m sad to say, the television news has degenerated into the equivalent of a series of brutal spectator sports events. If you would rather not submerge yourself in the blood and tears, you have my permission not to watch. Instead, make sure to schedule activities that bring you pleasure and joy for balance.

R-B’s Hahn, Woodstock N.’s Miranda back for more

What to watch Olympic men’s golf, 11 a.m., TGC The Golf Channel’s coverage of the final round of the men’s tournament actually begins at 5 a.m., but the final segment is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Justin Rose leads by one shot after three rounds.

ichmond-Burton’s Mackenzie Hahn was one bad hole away from possibly winning the Class A girls golf state tournament if not for a triple bogey on No. 12 at Red Tail Run in Decatur.

“I had a couple of three-putts that pretty much cost me the state title,” said Hahn, who finished fourth last fall, three shots behind the winner.

“That was pretty much it.”

The reigning Northwest Herald Girls Golfer of the Year was one of two local girls golfers to make it to state.

Woodstock North’s Daniela Miranda, who competes against the boys on the Woodstock co-op team during the regular season, became the first Thunder golfer to qualify and placed 44th.

Hahn and Miranda return for their senior seasons with the goal of making it back.

“It’s very tough,” said Hahn, who became the fourth local girls golfer to

“I had a couple of three-putts that pretty much cost me the state title. That was pretty much it.”

Mackenzie Hahn Richmond-Burton golfer place in the top five at state, joining Hampshire’s Connie Ellett (2011) and Crystal Lake Central’s Lexi Harkins (2010, 2011) and Meredith Ward (1997).

“You really have to stay focused and be on your game at all times.”

Hahn, who joined her older brother, Jordan, as the only two R-B golfers in school history to finish in the top five at state, said she practices and works on her game “pretty much every day.”

She lowered her summer scores and is now shooting consistently in the 70s, she said, and recently placed second in the Mid-American Junior

Golf Tour’s Purdue Classic with a 76-79.

Another local hoping for a state berth is Marian Central senior Sophia Archos, who earned medalist honors at the McHenry County Tournament and was third at Class AA regionals last year.

Archos and Crystal Lake Central co-op’s Kathryn Bevill were both three shots from state. Archos knows there is only so much she can control. Her calm approach and positive mindset is important to her success, she said.

“Golf is a game of always improving, so for me it’s being consistent,” she said. “Making sure that I’m always the best captain I can be and the best version of myself when I’m playing and not get too upset or not get worried – just let things unfold.”

Bevill had one bad hole at sectionals that kept her from state as a freshman. She said she’s been thinking about that one hole since October, waiting to get another chance.

See GIRLS GOLF, page 4

Worth noting: Hampshire was a co-op with Jacobs because of low numbers, but the WhipPurs had 14 players attend tryouts. Ellett started the Hampshire program 10 years ago, coaching for five years.

“The Whip-Purs are very young with solid leadership from the returning players,” Ellett said. “We are working hard on improving our short game and consistent ball striking. We will definitely be a better team come October through hard work at practice.”

Huntley Coach: Ann Christiansen (eighth season) Top returners: Caroline Giorgi, sr.; Nicole Gordus, sr.; Katie Weidner, jr., Maggie Matustik, jr.; Molly Danca, sr.; McKenzie Krich, jr.

Worth noting: Huntley came close to qualifying for sectionals, placing fourth at regionals, five shots behind Crystal Lake Central co-op. The Red Raiders return their top three (Giorgi, Gordus and Weidner) from last year’s FVC runner-up. All three advanced to sectionals and were named all-conference. Matustik also earned all-conference honors, and Giorgi was all-county.

“The girls have worked really hard this summer and are ready to compete,” Christiansen said.

Jacobs Coach: Megan Placko (third season)

McHenry Coach: Sean Sterner (fourth season) Top returners: Maddie Ogden, sr., Hannah Ogden, sr., Joely Pugliese, jr.

Key newcomers: Sarah Fergus, fr.

“I’m looking forward to watching the girls improve throughout the season,” Sterner said.

“Maddie and Hannah are the senior leaders and will have a positive influence on the younger girls in the program.”

Prairie Ridge Coach: Pattie Hie (15th season) Top returners: Morgan Taylor, so.; Sophia Pascente, so.; Lindsey Warren, sr.; Megan Diskin, sr.; Katie Frey, jr.; Karsen Gilmore, jr.; Grace VanHyfte, so.

Key newcomers: Katie Gilmore, fr.; Jamie Schneider, fr.; Joie Gindorf, fr.

Pascente and VanHyfte had successful summers, showing a lot of improvement, Hie said.

“We are very excited about the upcoming season,” Hie said. “We are excited to see the abilities of our new players. Each come in with some experience, which isn’t always the case for us.”

KISHWAUKEE RIVER CONFERENCE Harvard Coach: Doug Sijersen (eighth season) Top returner: Elizabeth Wright, sr.

Key newcomer: Jennah Brookner, fr Worth noting: Numbers are down this year, Sijersen said, but the Hornets return their top golfer in Wright.

Johnsburg Coach: Chris O’Niel (eighth season) Top returners: Natalie Flynn, sr.; Lauren Winter, jr.; Julia Warden, jr.; Sami Lorentz, sr.; Elizabeth Seabert, sr.; Ceara Mulvey, so.

Key newcomers: Sarah Angel, sr.

Worth noting: Three of the top four golfers return for the Skyhawks. Johnsburg advanced to sectionals last year, placing fifth after a runner-up finish at regionals. Flynn earned all-conference honors, and Winter earned all-county

honors and placed third at regionals.

“It should be an exciting year with a new conference, coupled with some new tournaments against great competition to help get the girls ready for postseason play,” O’Niel said.

Marengo Coach: Nate Wright (ninth season) Top returners: Nina Reed, sr.; Paige Schulze, sr.; Alyssa Pfaff, sr.; Jess Ruelius, sr.

Key newcomers: Madelynn Witwicki, jr.; Olivia Ring, jr.; Caitlin Alejandre, jr.; Mackenzie Smith, so.

Worth noting: The Indians, who finished ninth at the BNC Tournament, return four of their top six golfers. Schulze was named all-county with a top-12 finish at the McHenry County Tournament, and Pfaff earned all-conference honorable mention honors with a top-15 finish at the BNC Tournament.

“The top four should post solid scores keeping us competitive in most matches, while the other girls are starting to show some real promise,” Wright said.

Richmond-Burton Coach: Brandon Creason (eighth season) Top returners: Mackenzie Hahn, sr., Lauryn Davis, so.; Haylie Regnier, sr.; Megan Klode, jr.

Key newcomers: Darci Retherford, fr.; Ellie Lappen, fr.; Maggie Ortmeyer, fr.; Addie Walleck, fr.; Michaela Splitt, fr.

Woodstock co-op (Woodstock and Woodstock North) Coach: Brent Filetti (first season) Key returners: Daniela Miranda (WN), sr.; Lynsie Pietrzak (W), jr.; Kenna Miles (W), so.

Worth noting: Miranda became the first Woodstock North golfer (girls or boys) to advance to the Class A state tournament. Pietrzak and Miles each advanced to sectionals. Filetti takes over for longtime coach J.C. Wise, who retired after 22 years of coaching.

“We coach our athletes to compete on every hole, and to always find the positive in every round,” Filetti said. “You are only as good as your next shot, so keep your foot on the gas pedal.”

4 BEARS NOTES

TE Miller returns from concussion Pair of veteran O-linemen join team

participate.

More experience, depth added for O-line: The Bears continued adding

LAKE FOREST – Bears tight end Zach Miller practiced Saturday for the first time since July 31. He had been out with a concussion.

In Miller’s absence, he has watched as the group of tight ends behind him, all competing for a roster spot or two, have gotten extra chances to impress the coaching staff. Tony Moeaki has been getting the most reps with the first team, and he made two impressive catches during Saturday’s practice.

“Yeah, [the other tight ends got an] opportunity to step up and make plays,” Miller said. “Tony made some great plays today. There weren’t a ton of opportunities in the game, but for those 10 to 12 days (I was out), they did well and stepped in and made plays. We got a good group of guys, working hard.”

Miller was limited in practice Saturday, and he said the next step is working on his conditioning to get back into football shape.

Joining Miller in returning to practice at Halas Hall were tight end Greg Scruggs (ribs) and rookie outside linebacker Roy Robertson-Harris (illness).

Three players who were injured in Thursday night’s preseason opener – Ka’Deem Carey (concussion), Cornelius Washington (knee, ankle) and DeAndre Houston-Carson (neck, concussion) – did not practice. Eddie AP file photo Royal (concussion), Ben Braunecker Bears tight end Zach Miller catches a ball during practice July 31 in Bourbonnais. Miller (ankle), Senorise Perry (hamstring) and Derek Keaton (knee) also did not returned to practice Saturday. He had been out since July 31 with a concussion.

players to the offensive line Saturday, signing veterans Khaled Holmes and Shelley Smith ahead of Thursday’s preseason game at New England. They waived rookies Dan Buchholz and Donovan Williams.

“We’re always looking to get better,” coach John Fox said. “We’ll see how that pans out. Obviously, they’re a little behind as far as knowledge of our systems. But our coaches will work with them and hopefully get them schooled up by Thursday.”

Holmes, 26, played in nine games with seven starts for the Colts last season at center. The former USC Trojan had two starts in 2014. He was waived after the draft when the Colts used a first-round pick on Ryan Kelly.

Smith, 29, is a guard who has played in 36 games with 11 starts since entering the league in 2010. He played in 25 games with eight starts for the Rams from 2012 to ‘13, then appeared in 11 games with three starts for the Dolphins in 2014. He spent time with Miami and Denver in 2015.

The former sixth-round pick didn’t play in 2011 because of an ankle injury.

During Thursday night’s preseason opener, the Bears’ second-team offensive line had zero players with any 2015 game experience, and that group gave up five sacks.

Bevill, junior Rylie Schurter and freshman Molly Lyne are the top three for the Tigers, who are looking to extend their streak.

“I really want to keep the legacy going definitely for us,” said Bevill, a Northwest Herald All-Area second-team pick last year. “All the seniors who were here were such great role models. Now that they are gone, I want to make sure that we’re doing our best and keep doing well for them.”

“I think they have an understanding of what’s in front of them,” Tigers coach Kyle McCaughn said. “I think that’s what we look for. We look to continue that string of being competitive in the conference, vying for a title and trying to get through the region-

last year.

Jacobs should be a contender with five seniors returning, including Stephanie Fiorentino, who took second at conference and fourth at the county meet.

In the Kishwaukee River Conference, R-B returns Hahn and sophomore Lauryn Davis, who made All-Big Northern Conference last year as a freshman. Johnsburg was runner-up at regionals and made it to sectionals for the second year in a row.

Marian Central returns four upperclassmen, including Archos and junior Maria Mercurio (both sectional qualifiers last year), and will look to improve on its fifth-place standing in the East Suburban Catholic Conference.

Lyne played in 19 tournaments over the summer and made the cut in all of them, placing top 10 in 15, top five in nine, and winning three with a 79.7 scoring average. Julie Newton and Hannah Puma are the two returning seniors and “will be the leaders behind the scene,” McCaughn said.

“I think, if we just keep playing the way we are, I think we can keep improving and I think, if anything, we can raise our standards a little bit.

Q&A WITH GREEN BAY PACKERS TACKLE BRYAN BULAGA

By JON STYF jstyf@shawmedia.com GREEN BAY, Wis. – Marian Central grad Bryan Bulaga of Crystal Lake is getting ready to begin his seventh NFL season as a right tackle for the Green Bay Packers. After Wednesday afternoon’s practice, Bulaga answered questions from Northwest Herald sports editor Jon Styf. Here is an edited transcript of Part III of that interview:

that good of a team. We didn’t make the playoffs. We were sorry. We weren’t good. That’s the best way to put it. But that senior year, that was the highlight of it. With the group of guys we had and we’re all being best of friends. That’s the thing. High school football, especially when you play Division I and you go on to the NFL and see the business side of it. It doesn’t get as pure as high school football. It’s the best form of it.

I’m not discounting Sundays in the NFL, you can’t beat ‘em and it’s just unbelievable, but high school football is where it all starts. You’re with your best friends that you’ve been with potentially from grade school all the way up though playing with them. The highlight, for me, was that senior year.

It couldn’t get any better than that.

Making a state run and doing it with your best friends. That’s what high school football is all about.

Styf: Where are you at with Marian now?

Bulaga: There hasn’t been too much

communication. We’ll see how they do this year. This is the first time I literally don’t know anything about the team. I knew last year about them, from talking with Dirk (Stanger, a former Marian assistant coach and current Crystal Lake Central assistant coach).

So this is the first time in 10 years that I don’t know anything about the team, which is weird, to say the least. I wish the players the best and it’s a tough schedule. We’ll see how they do. I know it’s a young group and it’s a group that, that coaching staff, their footprint is on it. That last group grew up in the (Ed) Brucker and Stanger and (Steve) Spoden system. They were trained by those guys. That’s coach (Mike) Maloney’s stamp now.

Styf: Will you follow (Crystal Lake) Central?

Bulaga: Yeah, me and Dirk are

still really good friends, so of course I’m going to follow them. Dirk stood up in my wedding. He’s a guy I can always call, talk to and just have a conversation with. It’s not business or football, you can just call up and have

The Green Bay Packers’ Bryan Bulaga is introduced before a game against the St. Louis Rams on Oct. 11 in Green Bay, Wis. a conversation with him. I’m going to follow them and I wish them the best and, from what I’ve heard, they have a pretty solid team. Obviously, there’s a lot of talent in the FVC, so it’s going to be fun to watch. I wish Marian the best, I hope the kids do well and we’ll see how it goes.

Styf: How is this year different than previous years for you?

Bulaga: When you look around the

locker room, we have a really good group of talented guys. Everyone is a year older, year wiser, year more experienced. I can’t speak for position groups, but I can speak for ours. I know we have a good group of veteran guys.

With Dave (Bakhtiari) going into his fourth year, we’ve got T.J. (Lang), Josh (Sitton) and, between our two centers, JC (Tretter) and Corey (Linsley), we’ve got a lot of guys who’ve played a lot of snaps. ... depthwise, I think this is a very good O-line.

Styf: Which tackle spot has (rookie Jason) Spriggs played?

Bulaga: He’s been playing both. He’s

an athletic dude. I can vouch for him.

It’s tough to play left and right tackle and jump back and forth. You’re flipping the offense; you’re flipping your footwork in your head. It’s tough, but I think he’s done a good job. An athletic dude, but he has to get comfortable in the system, just like when I was a

rookie and had to get comfortable in the system.

Styf: How much of a difference is blocking from college to the pros? Is it blocking style?

Bulaga: You’ve got to get used to the

scheme that the coaches want you to do. Blocking is blocking. Everyone’s style is different. Mine is different from T.J.’s, from Dave’s, from Josh’s.

At the end of the day, it’s winning your block. The thing that changes is the athlete you are going against. The speed of the game picks up tenfold from college to pros. That’s the biggest eye-opener. You play the preseason and the speed picks up. Then, you get into the regular season and it’s a whole different game. Things are flashing by your face. You’re picking up schemes and, the guy you get your one-on-one matchup against, you’re going against the best guys that come out of college football and come up and develop. For myself, when I was 21 years old, going up against guys who were 29 or 30 years old, who had been doing it for a long time. I think that’s the biggest transition, the speed and experience.

That’s why training camp, especially against our defense with Clay (Matthews), (Julius) Peppers and Nick Perry, those outside linebackers are the pass rushers who are really good and we get to go against them every

day. They’ve been doing it a very long time and been very successful at it, so that’s why, when I go against Clay and Pepp and Nick, those are valuable reps.

Pepp has been doing this for a long time and probably is one of the very best at doing it, so when you get those reps to go against him that’s really good to see how you do against him and get your feet right.

Styf: Do you change or work on technique during the offseason? Is there any way to replicate that?

Bulaga: I think, just footwork you

can. Techniquewise, it’s going to be tough, because you’re not going to get realistic looks. You can work on hand placement, punching a bag and sliding your feet and do footwork drills and stuff like that. But you don’t get a real work until you go against live bodies.

That’s just the nature of it. You can do drills, which is all beneficial, because when you get out there you’re ready.

But, the fatigue of practice and actual full-speed movements and being tired and having to be good with your technique is so different than just working out and training. … I know Spoden does a lot of stuff with the younger guys back home, and obviously the technique is for linemen, one of the biggest things, feet and technique. But, you’ve got to work on that stuff when you’re going against live rush.

6 WHITE SOX

White Sox score on strikeout in 8th to beat Marlins; Shields rocked

Ventura wants to return, but extension seems iffy

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

WHITE SOX 8, MARLINS 7

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com MIAMI – Robin Ventura is in the final year of his contract, which means he is in the final seven weeks of his fiveyear White Sox managerial career, unless, of course, he receives an extension to return.

Ventura told the Sun-Times on Saturday he wants to manage the Sox again, “but you have to have somebody ask you to do it and all that. That’s stuff that happens after the season is over, if you get there.”

The Sox went into Saturday’s game against the Miami Marlins with a 55-60 record, the exact same mark they were at after 115 games last season. Ventura’s career record was 352-411, broken down as 85-77, 63-99, 73-89 and 76-86 from 2012 to 2015.

A surprise hire with no managerial experience at any level after Ozzie Guillen’s last season in 2011, Ventura provided the steady, more sedate alternative to the volatile, never-a-dull-moment Guillen, who was 678-617 over eight years, including a World Series championship in 2005.

The Sox were in first place for 117 days in Ventura’s first season, faded late and finished second to the Detroit Tigers in the American League Central.

Ventura finished third in AL Manager of the Year voting but hasn’t had a winning season since, for reasons related more to talent and roster construction than the teams’ coaching staffs. But Ventura knows managers are hired to be fired and often are when teams lose year in and year out.

“Going into this season, I knew I had one year left on my contract,” Ventura

MIAMI – Catcher Dioner Navarro scored the go-ahead run on a strikeout, capping a bizarre eighth-inning comeback that helped the White Sox beat the Miami Marlins, 8-7, Saturday night.

The Sox blew an early 4-0 lead and trailed, 7-6, to start the eighth. They rallied against Kyle Barraclough (6-3) with the help of a walk, two wild pitches and Justin Morneau’s first pinch-hit of the year, a double.

After Morneau tied it, the Sox had runners at the corners with two out. Melky Cabrera took a weak swing at a 2-2 pitch in the dirt, but the

ball skipped away from catcher J.T. Realmuto, allowing Cabrera to reach first while Navarro came home from third.

Miami’s Giancarlo Stanton singled with two out in the ninth but was an easy out trying to stretch the hit into a double. He stumbled and fell approaching second base, was slow to rise and limped off the field.

The Sox overcame another awful outing by James Shields, who allowed 10 hits and seven runs in three-plus innings. Shields has an ERA of 20.25 over his past three starts, all losses.

The focus is getting through this year.

I’ve told them, ‘Wait till the end of the year and figure out what’s going on.’ ” General manager Rick Hahn has been noncommittal about Ventura’s status throughout the season, even after the team’s 23-10 start, and has said it will be addressed after the season.

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina tags out the Cubs’ Willson Contreras at home plate during the second inning Saturday at Wrigley Field. victory.

The Cubs lost, 8-4, their first defeat of the month after an 11-game winning streak. But it felt more like a bump in the road than a detour.

“We’re still rolling and feeling good as a group,” said right-hander Kyle Hendricks, who matched his career high with 12 strikeouts in seven innings. “At this point in the year, how well we’re playing and where we’re at, you’re going to lose some games. You just go back out the next time and try to start another [streak].”

The loss went to rookie Carl Edwards Jr. (0-1), who at times has dazzled but still is learning.

With the score tied at 2, Edwards got Greg Garcia to line out to start the eighth before allowing two walks and a single to load the bases. He then struck out Yadier Molina, but the third strike was a wild pitch that allowed the tiebreaking run to score. Edwards followed by walking two more batters before Maddon summoned Joe Smith,

who served up a grand slam to Randal Grichuk that gave the Cardinals an 8-2 lead.

The Cubs had a chance to break the game open after Addison Russell’s tworun home run in the second. But they left the bases loaded when Kris Bryant grounded out to end the inning, then had only four other baserunners until scoring twice in the ninth.

The Cubs still have the best record in baseball (73-42) and a 13-game division lead.

HENDRICKS’ STREAK ENDS

Hendricks wasn’t involved in the decision Saturday, but he continued on a pace that is making him one of the best pitchers in baseball this season.

He stretched his personal scoreless streak at Wrigley Field to 28⅓ innings before Brandon Moss homered in the sixth. He yielded another homer to Jedd Gyorko in the seventh.

Hendricks has a 1.31 ERA in 13 home games this season. Overall, he is 11-7

with a 2.19 ERA. He’s the fourth Cubs pitcher in the past 25 years to allow three earned runs or fewer in 15 consecutive starts, joining Jake Arrieta (2015-16), Mike Morgan (1992) and Frank Castillo (1994-95).

RBI MAN

Russell became the third player on the team with at least 70 RBIs when his two-run homer in the second gave him 71 for the season.

His 14th homer also tied him for the most by a Cubs shortstop since Alex Gonzalez hit 20 in 2003.

“I think it has to do with the opportunities in the 5-hole [in the lineup],” he said of his RBIs. “Guys ahead of me are getting on base. I just want to get them over. If we score, it’s a plus.”

CHICAGO – August is the cruelest month in baseball.

April and May provide an invigorating start to the season, June offers a run-up to the end of the first half, July provides the All-Star break and the nonwaiver trade deadline, and September puts the stakes in focus for contending teams – and the finish line in sight for also-rans.

But August is only grit and grind, and sometimes it dangles fool’s gold in the form of a big lead that can soothe like a blanket of false security.

The 1969 Cubs had an 8½-game lead over the St. Louis Cardinals and a 9½game lead over the New York Mets in mid-August.

Enough said.

Cubs manager Joe Maddon learned long ago how to handle August.

“Even as a minor-league coordinator, I told the coaches and managers that when it came to August, stop the extra work and just let them play.”

He already is employing that strategy, with players required to get to the park only a few hours before game time.

“I want them to rest,” Maddon said.

“I want them to show up later. I want them to do less. I want them to just come and play the game.

“They can still do their mental stuff as much as they want, whatever their routine is. But I prefer physically they do less work. That’s the part that concerns me.

“When somebody is fatigued and you try to make changes, a productive conversation becomes more difficult.

So back off. Let them play. Keep them fresh. I think you benefit.”

Maddon had his regulars back in the lineup Saturday against the Cardinals, a day after some of the bench players gave them a day off in a lopsided 13-2

GOLF ROUNDUP

Jimenez leads U.S. Senior Open after 69 in wind, rain The ASSOCIATED PRESS UPPER ARLINGTON, Ohio – Miguel Angel Jimenez was back on top on a Saturday, this time in the U.S. Senior Open at difficult Scioto County Club.

The 52-year-old Spanish player was looking for a better late Sunday afternoon result after missing chances in his past two events.

Jimenez put himself in position to break out of the title funk Saturday, finishing off a 1-under-par 69 in gusty wind and sheets of rain to take a one-stroke lead. He was in a lot better shape in Scotland and Minnesota in the past two tournaments – and came up empty.

Three weeks ago at Carnoustie in the Senior British Open, Jimenez took a four-stroke lead into the last day, only to shoot 75 and tie for third – three strokes behind winner Paul Broadhurst. Last week in the 3M Championship, Jimenez was a stroke ahead entering the final round and ended up losing when Joe Durant shot 63 and eagled the first hole of a playoff.

Jimenez won in Mississippi in March for his third career PGA Tour Champions victory. He has 15 regular European Tour victories, the last in the 2014 Spanish Open at a tour-record 50 years, 133 days.

Jimenez had a 3-under 207 total on Jack Nicklaus’ boyhood course. Gene

Sauers was second after a 71. Ian Woosnam (70), Loren Roberts (70) and senior newcomer Billy Mayfair (75) were tied for third at 1 over.

PGA TOUR John Deere Classic: At Silvis, Ryan

Moore shot two more rounds of 6-under 65 to take the third-round lead, finishing at 8:25 p.m. in almost dark conditions.

After opening Thursday with a 65, Moore barely got on the course Friday in the tournament that finally got back on schedule Saturday when the players raced to finish before dark.

Play was delayed 31/2 hours Thursday when an inch of rain fell, then the start was delayed five hours Friday after an overnight storm dumped another 2.4 inches on the soaked course.

Morgan Hoffman and Ben Martin each shot 62 to move within a stroke at 17 under.

The 33-year-old Moore has four PGA Tour victories, winning the CIMB Classic in 2013 and 2014. He was third in March in the Valspar Championship and has five top-10 finishes this season.

In the third round, Moore birdied the par-4 14th, hitting a 60-yard approach to a foot, and made a 6-foot birdie putt on par-3 16th. He parred the final two holes, putting out on the par-4 18th with large scoreboards providing just enough light to see.

BRIEF Marks dedicates Xfinity race victory to driver killed Sunday

LEXINGTON, Ohio – Justin Marks splashed through the rain at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on Saturday for his first NASCAR Xfinity Series victory.

The 35-year-old Marks pulled away on a restart with two laps to go in the 75-lap race on the 2.085-mile, 13-turn road

course, finishing 3.7 seconds ahead of pole-sitter Sam Hornish Jr. Marks dedicated the victory to late Chip Ganassi driver Bryan Clauson, the 27-year-old dirt racer who died Sunday night from injuries in a sprint car accident in Kansas. All of the cars had “BC” decals.

HORSE RACING: ARLINGTON MILLION

French jockey Geroux rides World Approval to 7th after winning other 3 graded stakes races Arlington Million payout

By MIKE CRANSTON The Associated Press

W P S Mondialiste $10.80 $6.40 $4.80 Kasaqui $13.20 $9.40 Deauville $7.00

our mind. We thought we’d bring him over because he performed so well this side of the water last year.”

The son of Galileo paid $10.80, $6.40 and $4.80. Kasaqui of Argentina returned $13.20 and $9.40 and Irish-bred Deauville paid $7.00 to show despite a poor outside draw.

“My horse had a pretty good run,” Deauville jockey Seamie Heffernan said. “He was the only 3-year-old in the race. In a lovely position, got around the two into the straight and two other horses just came and got me.”

O’Meara said they planned to send Mondialiste to Santa Anita for the Breeders’ Cup on Nov. 4 and 5.

“I don’t see any reasons not to come

FREE PREMIUM FINISH

Sea Calisi trained by Chad Brown, past Long Island Sound in a stretch duel in the $450,000 Grade 1 Secretariat for 3-year-olds. The Kentucky colt took the 11/4-mile race by a head for his third win of 2016 and his first career graded stakes win.

Geroux rode Da Big Hoss to the lead just past the quarter pole to take the $300,000 Grade 3 American St. Leger, Arlington’s longest race at 111/16 miles.

The Kentucky-bred thoroughbred pulled away in the final furlong to win by 13/4 lengths over Ireland’s Clondaw Warrior. It was the 5-year-old’s sixth straight win in staked races of more than 11/4 miles.

Geroux, who turned 30 last month, couldn’t complete the sweep and take the Million for the second straight year after riding The Pizza Man in 2015.

“I was right there into the first turn,” Geroux said. “When they picked it up, he just spit the bit and couldn’t keep up.”

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS – Irishbred Mondialiste thrives in the United States.

The 6-year-old won the Grade 1 Arlington Million on Saturday, earning a berth into the Breeders’ Cup when jockey Daniel Tudhope guided the bay horse through a three-wide finish to edge Kasaqui by a neck.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better run really,” Tudhope said. “It was perfect.”

Mondialiste, who went off as the 4-1 third choice, broke from the outside in the 11/4-mile turf race. He won the Woodbine Mile last year and finished second in the Breeders’ Mile.

Now the David O’Meara-trained miler has a spot in the Breeders’ Turf.

“We stepped him up to a mile and a quarter at York (in England), and he ran a really good race,” O’Meara said.

“Once we saw that he handled the trip OK, we had this race in the back of

back again,” he said.

Take the Stand set the pace and still led into the final turn before fading.

Florent Geroux rode World Approval to seventh. The French jockey was trying to sweep the day after winning the three earlier graded stakes races.

Illinois-bred The Pizza Man finished sixth after winning last year.

Riders faced a headwind on the stretch run in the 11-horse race on the firm grass track. Decorated Knight scratched in the morning and Dubai Sky was ordered scratched by stewards when he refused to be reshod after losing a shoe.

The three other grades stakes races belonged to Geroux and his morning-line favorites.

The Chicago resident rode France’s Sea Calisi to a big kick on the stretch run to take the $700,000 Beverly D. for fillies, the 4-year-old’s first Grade 1 victory. Al’s Gal finished 11/2 lengths back in the 13/16-mile race.

MEN’S AND WOMEN’S TRACK AND FIELD

New Jamaican champion makes her mark in Olympic 100 meters

By EDDIE PELLS The Associated Press RIO DE JANEIRO – A changing of the guard in women’s sprints doesn’t mean a redrawing of the map.

That 100-meter Olympic gold medal is heading back to Jamaica, only this time in the hands of Elaine Thompson, the 24-year-old who took down America’s best, to say nothing of her training partner, two-time defending champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.

Thompson turned what was supposed to be one of the most competitive races on the Olympic program into a runaway. Running even at the halfway mark with Fraser-Pryce and Tori Bowie of the United States, Thompson pulled away over the last half and defeated Bowie with a bookshelf-sized slice of daylight in between.

Thompson finished in 10.71 seconds, a full .12 seconds better than Bowie and only .01 off the time she ran to beat Fraser-Pryce at Jamaica’s national championships last month.

Thompson’s 10.70 in Kingston was the best of five sub-10.8 women’s sprints this year and served notice that things could be changing once the sprinters reached Rio.

“Jamaica has so many talented sprinters,” Thompson said. “To be the second champion, I’m really happy.”

Three of those sub-10.8 women were in the final – Bowie and another American, English Gardner, were the others – as was Fraser-Pryce, the 29-year-old who was a brace-faced newcomer when she won her first of two golds at the Bird’s Nest in Beijing eight years ago.

The evening’s best drama came earlier in the men’s 10,000 meters, where Britain’s Mo Farah defended his title, rallying after he tripped and fell with 15 laps to go.

Day 2 closed with Jessica Ennis-Hill coming up 35 points short of defending her title in the heptathlon.

In between, long jumper Jeff Henderson brought all-time gold medal No. 999 to the United States, jumping 8.38 meters to overtake Luvo Manyonga of South Africa on his last jump.

Fraser-Pryce was trying to become the first person to win three straight 100-meter titles at the Olympics. It would’ve given her one day’s worth of bragging rights over Usain Bolt, who has overshadowed her in almost everything despite their dual dominance.

Bolt will try to do it on his own in the men’s race Sunday.

Fraser-Pryce led the women’s final early, but faded, and settles for a bronze medal – won by only .007 over surprise finalist Marie-Josee Ta Lou of Ivory Coast – to go with the green-and-yellow, Jamaican-flag hairdo she worked up for her turn as her country’s flagbearer at the opening ceremony. She had been struggling with a toe injury that she said made even getting to the line an accomplishment.

“By far, I would say this is my best championship ever,” Fraser-Pryce said. “I knew how hard I worked, I knew the pain, I knew the sacrifice, I knew the tears, I knew everything.”

And now, there’s a new champion from the island country that seems to grow them on trees.

Thompson was a late bloomer. Until she finished second in the 200 last year at world championships, she barely made a splash on the international scene, tucked behind Fraser-Pryce and the country’s seven-time Olympic medalist, Veronica Campbell-Brown, among others.

Thompson’s win over Fraser-Pryce at nationals caused a stir, but then both runners took to the sideline – Fraser-Pryce with the toe injury and Thompson with a strained hamstring.

Phelps’ fitting finale

Tennis player Puig wins Puerto Rico’s 1st gold in any sport

Relay win gives retiring star 23 golds in career

By PAUL NEWBERRY RIO DE JANEIRO – Michael Phelps closed the Rio Olympics in the only way imaginable.

Golden.

Phelps put the United States ahead to stay on the butterfly leg of the 4x100-meter medley relay, and Nathan Adrian finished it, giving the most decorated athlete in Olympic history his 23rd career gold medal Saturday night.

If that was the end, and Phelps insists it is, what a way to go.

He has 28 medals overall, having won five golds and a silver at these games.

“This is how I wanted to finish my career,” Phelps said. “Getting off the bus walking into the pool tonight, I pretty much felt myself starting to cry.

Last time putting on a suit, last time walking out in front of thousands of people representing my country.”

As Adrian touched the wall to finish the victory, Phelps gathered the other relay swimmers, Ryan Murphy and Cody Miller, in his arms. One night after his only setback in Rio, an upset loss to Joseph Schooling in the 100 fly, Phelps was back on top.

In the stands, his fiancee, Nicole Johnson, bounced along to the music with their son, 3-month-old Boomer, cradled in her arms.

Phelps is eager to spend a lot more time with them. He plans to marry Johnson after the Olympics and said he wants to watch his son grow, maybe even dole out a swimming lesson or two.

Most of the U.S. swimming team was in the stands to watch Phelps’ finale, including the biggest female star of the games, Katie Ledecky.

The 19-year-old Ledecky joked that she was proud to be part of Phelps’ final Olympics – twice. He initially retired after the 2012 London Olympics, only to decide about a year later to return to the pool.

The comeback endured a huge setback with his second drunken-driving

Michael Phelps acknowledges the crowd after his U.S. team won gold in the men’s 4x100-meter medley relay final Saturday night at the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. arrest in 2014, which led to Phelps being banned from the world championships the next year. But it also sparked a turnaround in his life. He entered six weeks of inpatient therapy, where he got in touch with some of the issues that seemed to lead him astray outside the pool.

He quit drinking, reconnected with his estranged father, got engaged, moved to Arizona with his longtime coach Bob Bowman, and became a father.

At 31, he sounds much more adamant when he says his swimming career really is over.

“These games really showed his growth,” teammate Anthony Ervin said. “That human spirit, that capacity to heal. I think it showed in his swimming, it showed in his demeanor, and it certainly showed in his leadership on the team.”

Phelps was elected a team captain for the first time in his career – this was his fifth Olympics – and truly seemed to enjoy being around his fellow swimmers. He was still the same ruthless competitor, but he also was willing to join in when some of his younger teammates made a carpool karaoke video at their final training camp in Atlanta.

The victory came only minutes after the women’s medley relay gave the United States its 1,000th Olympic gold medal at the Summer Games.

“A thousandth gold for team USA,” said Simone Manuel, who swam the

anchor leg for her second gold of the games and second medal of the night.

“It’s a nice number.”

Kathleen Baker, Lilly King and Dana Vollmer joined Manuel in the historic victory, which came with a time of 3:53.13.

“It’s really special,” Manuel said.

“Sharing that with three other women is just icing on the cake.”

Australia earned silver, while Denmark took bronze.

Earlier in the night, Manuel took silver in the 50 free. She already became the first African-American woman to win an Olympic swimming title with her win in the 100 free.

Connor Jaeger gave the U.S. another silver in the 1,500 free, leaving the Americans with 33 swimming medals in Rio – matching the highest total since the boycotted Los Angeles Games in 1984.

The U.S. also won 33 medals at Sydney in 2000.

The final two individual golds of the games went to Pernille Blume of Denmark in the 50 freestyle, her country’s first swimming victory since 1948, and Italy’s Gregorio Paltrinieri in the grueling 1,500 free.

The night, however, belonged to Phelps, who walked out of the arena for final time carrying an American flag handed to him by his mother from her front-row seat, right next to Johnson and little Boomer.

Upset over Nadal puts del Potro in tennis final against Murray

RIO DE JANEIRO – Juan Martin del Potro ended Rafael Nadal’s bid for an unprecedented second Olympic singles gold medal in a thrill-a-minute semifinal, then celebrated as if the title were already his, kneeling to kiss the court before leaping into the stands.

Del Potro, who earned a bronze for Argentina four years ago, will add a silver or gold to that after advancing to the Rio Games final by coming back to stun 2008 champion Nadal, 5-7, 6-4, 7-6 (5), in more than 3 hours Saturday.

Del Potro will try to pull off a third surprise Sunday, when he meets defending champion Andy Murray in the best-offive-set final. Murray beat Kei Nishikori of Japan, 6-1, 6-4.

U.S. men’s volleyball beats France, stays in medal chase

RIO DE JANEIRO – Seemingly down and out in these Olympics only a few days ago, the U.S. men’s volleyball team (2-2) suddenly is right back in the mix of the Rio Games.

Fresh off Thursday night’s stunning four-set victory against host Brazil, the Americans rallied to beat France, 25-22, 25-22, 24-25, 25-22, and improve their position in Pool A. Next is Mexico on Monday in the final preliminary match before the knockout quarterfinals.

RIO DE JANEIRO – The spectators told Monica Puig they believed she could win Puerto Rico’s first Olympic gold medal in any sport, providing a soundtrack of “Si se puede!” – “Yes, we can!” – during the Rio de Janeiro Games women’s tennis final.

She could. And she did.

The unseeded and Puig capped her run of upsets with the biggest one of all Saturday, overpowering No. 2 Angelique Kerber of Germany, 6-4, 4-6, 6-1, to become the Olympic champion.

“I did hear everybody saying, “Yes, you can! Yes, you can! Yes, you can!’ I kept repeating it inside myself: ‘Yes, I can! Yes, I can! Yes, I can!’ ” Puig said. “They really helped me believe and just showed me they were there for me, whether I was going to win or lose.”

Earlier Saturday, Petra Kvitova earned the bronze for the Czech Republic by beating Madison Keys of the United States, 7-5, 2-6, 6-2.

Stenson chases Rose for Olympic golf gold

FINISH YOUR LANDSCAPE PLANS WITH SUMMER SAVINGS GOING ON NOW!

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press RIO DE JANEIRO – Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson know what it’s like to play next to each other on a big stage when it’s all about flag and the gold prize.

That was two years ago at the Ryder Cup, and they were undefeated as partners.

They will be rivals Sunday, playing under their own flag, each pursuing golf’s first Olympic gold medal since 1904.

Rose made two eagles in the opening five holes Saturday and did a little shimmy after making a 10-foot par putt at the end for a 6-under-par 65, giving him a one-shot lead over Stenson going into the final round – the medal round – at Olympic Golf Course.

After 112 years away, and three days of what amounted to preliminary heats, golf finally gets the feel of being in the Olympics when medals are awarded.

“It’s like all the other sports,” Rose said. “You work really hard to get into the final, and tomorrow is about a great performance and bringing your best golf when you need it. I have the opportunity, and tomorrow is going to be fun.”

Rose was at 12-under 201, a slim margin over Stenson in any circumstances, even more considering the Swede is a month away from some of the best golf ever played when he won the British Open at Royal Troon with the lowest 72-hole score in major championship history.

Stenson had another 68, his best moment with a wedge in his hand – but not for a shot he hit.

Walking along the edge of the water on the par-5 10th hole, Stenson spotted a caiman – a small crocodile in these parts – and reached over to poke it with the end of his golf club.

“A little tickle with a lob wedge,” Stenson said. “I thought it could handle that, and if it would have been twice the size, then you probably need to go into the longer irons. He wasn’t too big. He was facing the right way for me.”

He wound up making birdie on that hole, and two birdies later on the back nine kept him within range of Rose.

It’s not a two-man race, even if it felt like one.

Leaderboard At Olympic Golf Course, Rio de Janeiro Yardage: 7,133; Par: 71; Third round Justin Rose (Great Britain) -12 Henrik Stenson (Sweden) -11 Marcus Fraser (Australia) -9 Bubba Watson (United States) -6 David Lingmerth (Sweden) -6 Emiliano Grillo (Argentina) -6 four straight holes early on and wound up with only one birdie in his round of 72. He was still alone in third place, although he was three shots behind and his lack of length could be factor in trying to keep pace with Rose and Stenson.

Bubba Watson kept American hopes alive with a 5-under 67 that featured his own surreal moment. Watson had a 30-foot birdie putt on the 14th hole, but when he took his putter back, a clump of mud dropped to the ground. Watson tried to stop his stroke and failed, so the ball traveled only about 6 feet.

“It was the funniest thing ever,” Watson said. “I thought it could have been a bee or a bug. I looked down and I was like, ‘That’s mud. Where did it come from?’ Mud putter. ... We laughed about it because I was like, ‘Man, I’m going to be famous now. I’m going to be a legend in Olympic golf history.’ ” It would help to make up six shots on Rose, or even three shots on Fraser, to go home with something.

Watson shot 67 and was at 6-under 207 with Emiliano Grillo of Argentina and David Lingmerth of Sweden, both shooting 68. Another shot behind were Matt Kuchar and Padraig Harrington.

Search for the future in your pockets Sometimes it’s easy to forget we’re living in the future – a future so unimaginable that even the best science fiction writers in the world can’t begin to imagine it.

Recently I picked up a copy of the book “2061: Odyssey Three” by Arthur C. Clarke, one of the most visionary science fiction writers of all times whose predictions included current-day marvels such as the internet, cell phones, 3-D printers, “virtual” surgery from afar and much, much more. Before he turned to fiction, he was a scientist – the man who invented the communication satellite in 1945.

And yet, before I was 40 pages into the book, I read a sentence that amazed me at how spectacularly Clarke had failed in his vision. It was a small detail, but one that couldn’t help but jump off the page like a slap in the face.

At the start of Chapter 7, the book’s main character, scientist Heywood Floyd, is preparing for a space voyage and tries to remember a line of poetry that swims to the surface from the depths of his memory. The line is: “I too take leave of all I ever had …” He closes his eyes and strains to bring the rest of the line to memory.

And the next paragraph reveals how far Clarke missed seeing what information retrieval would look like by the year 2061. Or by 2016, for that matter.

The paragraph reads: “With no further clues, it might take the station Computer quite a while – perhaps as much as 10 minutes – to locate the line in the whole body of English literature. But that would be cheating [not to mention expensive], and Floyd preferred to accept the intellectual challenge.”

Now, before you read any further, let me lay a challenge before you: If it would take Doctor Heywood Floyd 10 minutes and bundles of money to find the answer in 2061, how long would it take you to find it here in good old 2016, almost a half-century in his past? And how much would it cost you?

Go ahead. Find it. I’ll wait.

But I won’t wait for long, because I

won’t have to.

When I read that line, just for grins I decided to turn my own computer to the task. But because I was too lazy to get up from the recliner and walk over to my laptop, I reached into my pocket and pulled out my cell phone.

And by the time I had tapped the letters, “I too take le…” the rest of the line popped up on the screen. I tapped it, and the whole poem appeared.

Title: “Farewell.”

Author: Robert Nichols.

A tap on his name told me about the poet’s service in World War I, his role in the Battle of Loos in 1915, his return to England in 1916 with shell shock.

But why am I telling you this? You already knew all this and more. All that information was right in your pocket.

And if you scrolled down to the third or fourth entry on the screen, you found another site that asked: “What is the second part of the poetry line that comes to Heywood Floyd as he prepares to depart for the rendezvous with Halley’s Comet in ‘2061’?”

So your phone not only knew the answer to your question, but it also hinted it knew why you might be asking.

Total time to find the information: maybe 10 seconds. Less if you’re a nimble-thumbed middle schooler.

Total cost: zero. Unless you calculate how much 10 seconds of your life is worth.

And yet Arthur C. Clarke blew it. Even he – one of the greatest future fantasists of all time – couldn’t convince himself civilization would be walking around with all the knowledge of mankind in our pockets.

And the knowledge wouldn’t just be in the pockets of great scientists like the fictional Heywood Floyd. It would be in the pockets of everybody. You wouldn’t have to be rich, and you wouldn’t even have to be smart to figure out how to use the device. The phone would be smart for you.

Still, I thought, you hardly could blame Clarke for blowing it on this detail. After all, he wrote the book in 1987, when the internet was in its infancy and the com-

puter not much more than an adolescent.

The first cell phones were bulky, fussy newborns.

Clarke had predicted all those wonders years before their creation, but putting those players together to predict instantaneous information retrieval would be like visiting Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippin and Phil Jackson in kindergarten and foreseeing a future double three-peat of Bulls championships.

So I was willing to cut him some slack when I caught the brilliant Arthur C. Clarke screwing up on this one.

But then I realized Clarke wasn’t the one who had screwed up – I was.

Because on reading further, I learned his literary character wasn’t on Earth, where information will travel as instantaneously in 2061 as it does for us today in 2016. He was on a space station somewhere past the moon, traveling toward the outer planets. The 10-minute lag would be the time for the signal to get to earth, retrieve the information in a flash, and return the signal to Doctor Floyd.

And the cost? Well, a call like that still might be costly in the future. Or maybe not. And maybe future space stations will carry a data base as complete as Earth’s internet, eliminating even a 10-minute wait. Only time will tell if Clarke was hedging on the conservative side with his predictions.

In any case, Clarke looked at the relatively primitive technology around him in 1987 and projected a future more than 70 years ahead when all the information in the world is retrievable instantaneously – unless you’re deep in space, where it might take a few minutes.

It was a bold prediction of an unimaginable future 70 years away – but it happened in less than 30.

Because if you want to visit the future today, it’s in your pocket.

Need reasons why it’s important to choose reusable bags? Plastic bags and other plastic garbage thrown into the ocean kill as many as 1 million sea creatures every year.

The cost to recycle plastic bags

outweighs their value, so most recycling facilities will not take them.

Instead of being recycled, they are thrown out with the rest of the trash. Plastic bags make up more than 10 percent of washedup debris that pollutes the U.S.

coastline. Discarded plastic bags have turned up as far north as the Arctic Circle and as far south as the Falkland Islands.

Finally, the average reusable bag has a lifespan equal to that of more than 700 disposable plastic bags.

One person using reusable bags

over their lifetime would remove more than 22,000 plastic bags from the environment.

Isn’t that an even better incentive?

Caring for the river

H

By CHRIS MORDI

Haley Brasile (front) of Woodstock and Cody Presny of Edison Park.

editorial@nwherald.com

aley Brasile and Cody Presny are about to do what most recent college graduates wouldn’t think of doing – put down their smart phones, look up, live in the moment and talk to complete strangers.

A couple since they first met last year as seniors at Western Illinois University, they are about to embark on a 2,320 mile journey that is part adventure and part mission.

On Aug. 16, they will hop into a canoe that will be their home for more than three months as they paddle down the Mississippi River to get out and see the world and promote volunteering for the organizations that are working to keep the river healthy.

The couple will start at the river’s headwaters at Lake Itaska in Minnesota and will end in New Orleans.

“We want to be noticed by people for caring for their rivers,” Brasile said. “We know how big a resource the river is, and we want to bring a little more light to all the organizations along the river that are trying to keep it alive and healthy and clean.

The adventure can be followed at amongstthecurrent.com, where Brasile and Presny will be posting updates of their journey.

To hear Brasile, 24, of Woodstock, tell the story, this was planned on something like a whim.

“We started looking into it eight months ago. It was just a dream,” Brasile said. “Cody said, ‘Let’s do it next August.’ I said, ‘Let’s just do it now.’ ” “The genesis of this was looking for an adventure,” said Presny, 24, of Edison Park. “It’s been a boyhood dream of mine to do it. One thing after another fell into place.”

Presny tries hard to downplay his inspiration for the trip – Huckleberry Finn, the fictional character created by Mark Twain who had his own adventures on the Mississippi.

Brasile is more open about the connection.

“This kind of goes a little bit back to Huck Finn,” she said.

She said it’s also about witnessing and experiencing they history of the river.

“I love cultural history,” Brasile said. “This

is a vein of the U.S., and [this trip] is about keeping it alive. There’s much history [to the river]. So much romance and sadness. It’s so powerful.”

Living in 17 feet

The couple will make their home for the next three months a 30-year-old aluminum Osagian canoe that is 17 feet long.

“My dad and I just water-proofed it,” Presny said. “We siliconed each rivet and seam, then covered [them] with truck bed liner, that thick rubber paint. It’ll give us a little grip, and water won’t get through.”

They’ll need that waterproofing to hold because they will be packing more than a week’s worth of food and supplies aboard the canoe.

Brasile said the trip could take three to three and a half months to complete. She and Presny plan to paddle an average of 25 miles each day.

“We will be going through 29 lock and dams. That kind of freaks me out,” Brasile said. “I‘ve never been in one. It’s a little intimidating. I’m sure after the first one, it’ll be OK.” How will they do for the next three months paddling together in such a small space?

“Cody’s my best friend,” Brasile said. “We bicker, but we just work very good together.

We thrive together.”

Photo provided

“When we set our minds to something, we get it done,” Presny said. “There’s no reason to move fast or rush it or take extra risk. We’ll move nice and slow.”

Brasile said they plan to stay with “river angels. They’re people who will take you in, give you a shower or shelter, or take you into town for supplies. We also have close friends and family that live near the river.”

On a mission

“We’re in this to bring more love to those organizations that are showing love to the river,” Brasile said. “I don’t want the spotlight to be on us. We are going on this to volunteer and promote the organizations that help the river.”

She said they will bring attention to organizations such as the Gulf Restoration Network and Friends for our River Front by volunteering at them and promoting them on the couple’s website.

What does Brasile think she’ll feel at the end? She’s deliberately steered away from it because she knows it’ll be bittersweet.

“We’ve put in a lot of time, effort and passion. I Just hope we reach someone,” she said.

“Maybe just a handful of people realize what’s happening on the river. I hope we did something for the river.”

Follow the journey Haley Brasile of Woodstock and Cody Presny of Edison Park will post updates about their threemonth canoe trip from Lake Itaska in Minnesota down the Mississippi River to New Orleans at amongstthecurrent.com.

Can’t help falling in love Lakewood collectors dedicate basement to Elvis memorabilia

Patty Sperando of Lakewood turns on an Elvis talking head Friday in her Elvis room at her home.

editorial@nwherald.com

hen a young Patty Sperando saw Elvis Presley perform on television during what would soon be called the “ ‘68 Comeback Special” in 1968, she had no idea it would spark a burning love for the singer that would last for decades.

“Well, he was very good-looking,” Patty, a Lakewood resident, said. “And his voice was just phenomenal. Even a capella, he sang beautifully. I became infatuated with him and his music as a preteen. I watched all of his movies and listened to all of his songs.”

That television special also sparked Elvis’ waning music career, leading him to an engagement at the then-International Hotel in Las Vegas and a nationwide tour. The last Elvis concert Patty attended was one of his last performances: the Stadium Theatre in Chicago in May 1977, just three months before Elvis died on Aug. 16.

“No matter what he did in his personal life, he never failed his fans,” she said. “He truly had a unique talent, and he should continue to be honored and recognized.”

• ELVIS

On a large scale, perhaps the most impressive tribute to Elvis Presley resides in Memphis, Tennessee, at his palatial Graceland. The most famous home after The White House, Graceland displays hundreds of thousands of artifacts from Elvis’ life, including costumes, awards, original furniture and cars. Graceland welcomes more than 4,000 visitors a day during peak summer months.

In her own right, Patty has paid tribute to The King with an extensive collection of Elvis memorabilia collected over the years with help from her husband, Rick. Housed in the Sperandos’ basement, the collection includes framed articles of clothing, a banner from Elvis’s first concert at the Las Vegas hotel, several guitars, a lifesize Elvis figure and even a vial of sweat from his brow. The pieces often are bought online or through other collectors, and many carry letters of authenticity.

Although she has been collecting for decades and has amassed hundreds of

“They tell me, ‘Nana, not Elvis again!’ ” Patty said with a laugh. “We’re trying to get them interested in the collection. I think someday, when they’re a little older, they will appreciate the history here and how much it means to me, to us.”

Patty said her love for Elvis and collecting memorabilia has rubbed off on her husband, who often surprises her with gifts of collector’s items.

“After 41 years of marriage, I’ve figured out what makes my wife happy,” Rick said with a laugh.

In celebration of their 30th year of marriage, Rick took Patty on a surprise trip to Las Vegas, where they renewed their vows in an Elvis-themed chapel, complete with an Elvis tribute artist officiating. For their 40th anniversary, they traveled to Coco Palms Resort in Kauai, Hawaii, and were serenaded with Elvis hits on the beach where he filmed

“Blue Hawaii.”

Patty’s favorite Elvis tune, “Can’t Help Falling In Love,” rings true in her own life, as she and her husband continue to search together for pieces of history to help keep the memory of a music legend alive.

“I’m a hopeless romantic, and my husband is, too.

He loves being a part of my collecting and helping it grow, and we have grown together in our relationship through this collection,” Patty said.

“Elvis’s movies and songs were so romantic, and as a teen you dream of finding the love of your life one day, and I did in my husband.”

items, Patty said she still is thrilled to walk downstairs and admire her collection. She and Rick vacuum and dust regularly, but he says it takes her too long to dust because she often picks up different artifacts and reminisces about how each came to join her collection.

Patty’s favorite piece is not the largest or worth the most, but she said it offers a rare glimpse into the mind of the iconic singer. The framed artifact includes a piece of paper where Elvis hand-wrote the lyrics to “Love Me Tender.”

But his word choices are different than those that wound up in the classic ballad.

“It’s interesting to read his handwriting and see what the lyrics might have been, or what he thought they should have been,” Patty said. “This piece is one of my favorites because it really brings him to life.”

Family and friends visit often to explore the museum-esque space, a time capsule representing Elvis’s impact on the music world and fans across the globe. The Sperandos’ five grandchildren, all younger than 11, are not quite

Success with sobriety comes in phases “Jim” was in his early 30s when the curtain came down on his drinking and drugging. The lifestyle had, in his words, become unsustainable. That, although sounding like a reasonable choice, meant he had been threatened with divorce, lost his second job in as many years and was riding his bike, not because of needing exercise.

Jim thought if he went to rehab and quit drinking, all would be well.

He found out in rehab what he did there made up, according to the counselor, about 2 percent of his recovery. The rest, they said, would take place outside of the rehab walls and consisted of significant lifestyle changes, emotional changes, attitudinal changes – and all this while not drinking or drugging.

“Whoa, hold on a minute,” Jim thought. “I didn’t get into this

business to become a saint, just to quit drinking.” Jim proceeded on a “do-it-yourself” plan, even though it had been recommended he get with AA and dig into getting well. He proceeded to live the same chaotic life he had been living; the only difference was he was dry. His estranged wife applauded the absence of alcohol but wondered at his continued erratic behavior; in fact, so did Jim. After almost a year of rollercoaster emotions and some of the same problems as before without the booze, he decided to give AA a try.

Once there, Jim found out a little about recovery and attitude change.

He got a sponsor, started step-work and began to see what a recovering life might look like. He had the idea recovery happened all at once with a big flash and all of the sudden, as unrealistic as it sounds, without any

real work he’d be well.

He got just well enough in his first year in AA to realize how immature he was and to feel the real discomfort associated with growing up. His sponsor called this “phase two.” “Phase one” he said, was the removal of the mood-altering substances. Jim wondered what phase three would be.

After about four and a half years and several rounds of family counseling, Jim’s oldest son went into rehab.

He and his wife had been battling about the kids and had teetered on the brink of divorce again. The boy’s sobriety gave Jim and his wife the opportunity to work out some deep issues between them and get on the same page. She started going to Al Anon. Jim’s sponsor smiled and said, “Phase three.”

Now with more than 15 years of sobriety and without really knowing

How difficult is it to get genuine (not lab-created) ® rubies these days?

As far as natural rubies are concerned, they are still readily By Karly Bulinski available to consumers with a few exceptions. It all depends on the size, shape and quality stone that you are looking for and of course how much you are willing to spend on it.

The calibrated stones, the ones that have a common millimeter size that will fit into standard jewelry mountings, are the most readily available. Add a calibrated stone to a common shape and you will find that there are several different options to choose from. The limited availability comes into play when you have a need for very large stones, higher quality stones as well as stones that have a unique shape. Any stone that is larger or of higher quality will be harder to seek out and may take some time, but it’s not impossible. Also keep in mind, the larger/better quality a stone, the more expensive it is going to be.

When discussing natural vs. synthetic it’s also a good idea to bring up treatments. A synthetic stone is any gemstone that is created in a laboratory by humans. It has the same exact chemical composition as it’s natural counterpart, it just wasn’t created by Karly Bulinski Mother Nature. A natural gemstone that has been treated is a Graduate Gemologist gemstone that was found within the Earth, extracted and given a Email jewelry questions to: treatment to enhance its natural beauty. Some treatments can be suzanne@steffansjewelers.com minimal such as a heat treatment to bring out the red in a ruby or karly@steffansjewelers.com or brighten up a darker stone or they can be extreme like a lead glass filled ruby (which technically isn’t even considered a ruby anymore. You can learn more about those at the GIA website).

Treated gemstones are not a bad thing, but should always be disclosed to you by the person or jeweler that you are buying it from. If you are looking for a natural, untreated gemstone that is going to be more difficult, but definitely not impossible, to find WWW.STEFFANSJEWELERS.COM versus a ruby that has had a minor treatment.

it, Jim had a fundamental change in the way he viewed things. He lived daily with more gratitude and less anxiety. He was more interested in helping others than satisfying his own short-term needs. He had started sponsoring other guys and being a contributor. His family had reunited, and things were reasonably comfortable.

When he got angry or disturbed, he knew how to handle it. When he shared this with his sponsor, his sponsor responded with a chuckle and said, “Phase four.”
