Frustrated over the inability to simply snap one’s fingers It’s a snap. If it were only so easy.

I’ve lived my life with a deficiency. Well, the truth be told, I’ve probably lived my life with many deficiencies, but we don’t have time to list them all, and I do need to protect my self-esteem by not dwelling upon the negative.

People who dwell on the negative often are unhappy and bitter. We have enough of those people, and I am unwilling to join their ranks.

For instance, I could be unhappy and bitter about the standings in Major League Baseball.

I’m not a Cubs fan – in fact, I loathe the Cubs – but they easily have the best record in baseball and are sitting atop the National League Central by a comfortable margin. They’re on track to win 100 games, a real feat in baseball, and this could be the year they go to the World Series and have a chance to win it – something the Cubs haven’t done in a million years or thereabouts.

I could be a spoilsport and root against the Cubs, but I won’t do that. I’ll let their fans have their fun. I won’t hesitate to let them know how much I dislike the Cubs – especially Wrigley Field, which Mayor Daley should have bulldozed after he did the same to Meigs Field – but I won’t step on their buzz.

At least, I’ll try not to. But I couldn’t help myself from rooting for the Cardinals last weekend when they played the Cubs, snapping their 11game winning streak. Archrival St. Louis is my favorite National League team, mostly to spite the Cubs. But I’ll give the Cubs their day. I’m not unhappy and bitter.

If I were, I’d be having real problems this season, as I’m a Minnesota Twins fan, and the Twins have the second-worst record in baseball and have had such most of the season ... thank you, Atlanta Braves, for being worse more consistently. But there are four other teams in baseball that are rivaling the Twins and Braves for the worst record in baseball, so it could go down to the final week of the season to determine who’s the worst.

The Twins were on track to lose 100 games, a true mark of futility, but at their current rate, they might lose just 98, which would be a victory in my book. That makes me happy. So there.

I’ve made a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. The Twins happen to have that right combination of poor pitching, hitting and fielding this season.

I’m not bitter. Really.

But back to deficiencies. I have my share of them, and one of the most frustrating is my inability to snap my fingers. Musicians snap their fingers to set the rhythm. People snap

WHERE IT’S AT

VIEWS Dick Peterson their fingers to underscore how easy it is to do something. Hypnotists snap their fingers to wake subjects from their trances. People snap their fingers because they are happy, because they like the sound, because of the music.

I can’t snap my fingers, try as I might.

Some of my earliest memories are from kindergarten. It seems as though going to school and learning turned my brain on. I remember more about my kindergarten year than anyone really should.

I remember the bright circles of color to learn the colors – red, blue, green and yellow.

I remember learning to count, memorizing my address and telephone number, taking naps on my green rug, singing “The Little Drummer Boy” at Christmas, walking the block and a half to Roosevelt School with Janie Taufen who lived across the street, having the boat and trailer stolen when I brought the truck I got for my birthday to school for show and tell. It was like the whole world was opening up before me.

And I think my teacher’s name was Miss Sharp, although I could be mistaken on that one, and I really liked her.

I also remember not being able to snap my fingers to go along with the music.

But Miss Sharp came to the rescue, as I was not the only one unable to make a snapping sound by pressing my thumb against my middle finger, and dragging my thumb across it back to my index finger. She said we could make almost the same sound with our tongues by placing your tongue on the roof of your mouth and moving it downward quickly to the, uh, floor of your mouth. It made more of a clucking sound than a snapping sound, but if that was the best you could do, well, do it.

I still can’t snap my fingers, and I am envious of people who can. It’s such a cool sound and hand movement, so jazzy. I’m left to clucking my tongue. It’s just not the same, Miss Sharp. I’m not unhappy and bitter over this inability. Just disappointed. Shucks.

MCHENRY COUNTY SCHOOLS BECOMING MORE TECH-SAVVY

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com

everal school districts around McHenry County are starting to incorporate more tech devices into their classes to prepare students for the future.

This school year, Algonquin-based School District 300 rolled out a one-toone initiative that gives every firstthrough eighth-grade student a Google Chromebook.

“We wanted to make sure we provide students with every resource possible to make sure they’re college- and career-ready by the time they graduate,” said Anthony McGinn, director

of public relations and communication services for District 300.

Anne Pasco, director of digital literacy and innovation for District 300, said these devices are necessary because technology has changed the way students process information.

“Technology has revamped how we function at work, at play and how students learn,” Pasco said. “That’s why we’re doing this.”

For first- and second-grade students, the Chromebooks will stay in the classrooms to keep technology available only during class hours, while thirdthrough eighth-grade students will be able to take them home on a limited basis.

New anti-tax group forms from dollar-bill property tax protest

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com A new group borne of the civil disobedience of a man paying his property taxes with $1 bills wants to marshal other fedup taxpayers to fight for relief.

Frustrated homeowner Dan Aylward, whose gesture made national headlines, and several other high-profile local tax fighters banded together to form Illinois Tax Revolution, which has scheduled several local protests in the months before the Nov. 8 election. The group’s chairman, longtime anti-township activist Bob Anderson of Wonder Lake, said taxpayers have to do more than gripe to one another to improve things.

“If we’re going to make any changes, it’s going to have to come from a grassroots effort,” Anderson said.

Protesters in the parking lot of the McHenry County Treasurer’s Office cheered Aylward on June 13 as he paid his first $5,734.18 installment of his property-tax bill in singles, a gesture he has vowed to repeat with the second installment for a total of $11,468.36 in $1 bills.

He said at the event that he will continue doing so until he either dies or until the ever-increasing tax bill forces him to move out of the home along the Fox River in McHenry that has been in his family for 105 years.

Aylward helped launch the group along with Anderson, McHenry Township Republican Central Committee

Chairman Steve Rooney, Republican McHenry County Recorder candidate Joe Tirio and Lakemoor resident Rose Venegas.

The group has scheduled three protests – the first Wednesday at the Lake County Treasurer’s Office, the second on Aug. 31 at the McHenry County Treasurer’s Office, and the third Oct. 12 at the James R. Thompson Center in downtown Chicago. The group on its website at www.illinoistaxrevolution.com has printable “one-page petitions” for people who cannot make the protests to submit.

The Washington, D.C.-based Tax Foundation ranks McHenry County’s property-tax burden as the 29th highest for all counties in the U.S., in a state that has ei-

of all 50 states, depending on what study you read. Adding to taxpayer aggravation is that not only have bills stayed the same or increased despite home values falling after the housing bubble burst, but also that the very tax cap law passed to protect them during the good times now allows governments to capture inflationary revenue and continue to drive bills upward.

Anderson and other tax fighters are aware that county treasurers only collect the money for the numerous units of local government that decide how much they want – at just fewer than 7,000, Illinois has the most governments of any other state.

But that doesn’t mean that the group isn’t going to work to persuade more people to pay their tax bills in singles.

Rallies, he said, are a good way to get the support needed to do something about tax bills that are driving more and more McHenry County residents out.

“People need to do more than talk to a neighbor over a fence. People need to go to rallies and show support,” Anderson said.

Restoration project in Crystal Lake to repair Teckler Building’s terra cotta

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – People walking around downtown Crystal Lake may notice scaffolds in front of Heisler’s Bootery near the corner of Brink and Williams streets. That’s because the building’s terra cotta facing, which is more than 100 years old, is being restored.

Heisler’s Bootery, 50 N. Williams St., moved into Crystal Lake’s Teckler Building in the 1960s and is still there today.

The historic building was built in 1910 by

real estate mogul Charles Teckler, and the terra cotta on its facade was manufactured locally at the time by the American Terra Cotta & Ceramic Co. However, because of it being more than 100 years old, the building’s terra cotta is cracking and missing in some places, sparking Heisler’s Bootery owner Jim Heisler and building owner Jeff Heisler to do something about it.

“The building needs some help, so my brother [Jeff] and I started a restoration project to repair its terra cotta,” Jim said.

The restoration project is being done

by Carving in Stone Inc. and Fortune Restoration. The first part of the project began Tuesday with workers setting up scaffolds. Once that part is complete, workers then will repair the mortar, fix cracked tiles and replace any missing pieces of terra cotta on the building.

“We’re on an important corner [in downtown],” Jim said. “Our building should look nice when people go by.”

The date was Aug. 5, 1903, and it was a beautiful day for a “base ball” game in rural McHenry County. That afternoon, the semi-professional Club Nine, the Olivers, were to play the Chicago Cubs at the old fairgrounds. The Olivers, whose home base was the Oliver Typewriter factor in Woodstock, were squaring off for the first time in the county against professionals – although the Chicago White Sox would play there several years later. Much anticipated with plenty of excitement, the game prompted a half-day holiday and area businesses closed. About 2,500 fans turned out to watch the Cubs blank the Olivers, 12-0.

Yet, all was not lost. Several Oliver players wound up in the “Big Show” within a few years. George Moriarty, third-base sacker, was signed that very day by the Cubs organization. He achieved fame as manager of the Detroit Tigers, replacing Ty Cobb. Not too shabby for a “farm” team!

WOODSTOCK – Former Marian Central Catholic High School Superintendent Andy Edmondson plagiarized work in a letter from the superintendent in the weeks before he was fired, documents show.

Rockford Diocese communications director Penny Wiegert previously said Edmondson had engaged in verbal communication with students and faculty that was inconsistent with professional standards, but didn’t specifically mention plagiarism.

In the 2015 edition of an informational pamphlet, “Marian Alliance,” Edmondson lifted whole paragraphs from a 2013 progress report written by St. Mary’s Academy President Christina Friedhoff, documents show.

At times, Edmondson changed only a word or two and plugged in Marian Central specific information in place of St. Mary’s Academy information.

Edmondson, Rockford Diocese officials and Friedhoff did not return phone calls seeking comment late last week.

The following is an example comparing the writings: “Today, we find ourselves launching into the future with more confidence in our vision than ever before. Imbued with this confidence, a new vision/mission for the school, and the unwavering support of the Council of Administration and the Rockford Diocese, we are taking huge strides and making decisions to support Catholic education,” the first paragraph of Edmondson’s report read.

Friedhoff’s first paragraph in 2013 read, “Today we find ourselves launching into the future with more confidence in our mission than ever before. Imbued with this confidence, vision, and the unwavering support of the Board of Directors and Sisters of the Holy Names, we are making huge strides and bold decisions.”

Woods Creek stabilization work to start in late September

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – A $759,522 streambank stabilization and restoration project is aimed at making Woods Creek in Algonquin a feature that is more of an amenity to the neighborhood it passes through than a detractor, Public Works Director Bob Mitchard said.

About a 2,800-foot section of the man-made creek that starts at Boyer and County Line roads and runs north will be worked on Mitchard said.

The creek goes through a residential area and park, and erodes and floods during rains, Mitchard said.

“It’s essentially a ditch that has very little meander and very little structural integrity,” Mitchard said.

Work will include stabilizing the banks and creating meander, cross veins and other features to vary the flow of the water, he said.

At its meeting Tuesday, the Algonquin Village Board approved Encap Inc. ecological consultants as the project contractor, Mitchard said.

A grant from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency will cover about $471,000 of the project’s cost, ac-

cording to village documents, leaving Algonquin’s share at about $288,000.

Mitchard said part of the reason the village was able to receive grants for the project is because a Woods Creek Watershed Protection Plan was created in 2001 to help guide residential and commercial development in the watershed area.

In 2012, Algonquin, Lake in the Hills, Crystal Lake and the Crystal Lake Park District also worked on a plan to protect the watershed.

The board also approved an agreement with Applied Ecological Services Inc. for construction management services at an additional cost of $60,000, Mitchard said.

“We’ve had some installation challenges on other projects,” Mitchard said of why the village is hiring someone to oversee the project. “We just want to make sure everything goes in correctly.”

Mitchard said similar creek restoration projects have been completed, including Raft Creek near the Gaslight Terrace North subdivision.

He said work on Woods Creek is expected to start near the end of September and likely will be finished in 2017.

HUNTLEY – A $30 million, 130unit independent senior living facility could be coming to Huntley.

The Huntley Committee of the Whole heard plans Thursday for the proposed development from Resort Lifestyle Communities.

The facility would sit on about 9.6 acres on Powers Road east of Route 47, Huntley Director of Development Services Charles Nordman said. This would be the first Illinois location for the Lincoln, Nebraska-based company, he said.

Nordman said Resort Lifestyle Communities would buy the 30-acre property that the 9.6 acre-parcel is located on, with the idea that other areas could be developed in the future.

“Our goal right now is to plat and develop the first 9-plus acres,” said Bob Lewis, director of development with Resort Lifestyle Communities. “Two years down the road, we’ll see what the market brings for the rest of it.”

Lewis said the resort, called Huntley Springs Retirement Community, is all-inclusive and features a library, 150-seat theater and fitness center. Residents would have access to services including three meals a day, housekeeping, valet parking, full-time livein managers and a fitness director, he said.

The building would be about 50 percent brick, Lewis said, and match the style of the neighborhood.

Although the community would be open to people age 55 and older, the average age of a person living there is 75 and older, based on the company’s 12 existing properties, Lewis said.

Lewis said there would not be subsidized housing options. Apartments would be paid for by a month-to-month rent based on the market price, with studios averaging about $3,000, two bedrooms about $3,200 to $3,500, and three bedrooms about $3,500 to $4,000.

The property would have 40 garage parking spaces and 120 surface parking

Continued from page A11 spaces, Lewis said, adding that generally 50 percent of residents don’t have a car.

There would be a full-time shuttle driver and bus available for residents, along with valet parking and concierge options, he said.

Huntley Trustee Ronda Goldman said Friday that the project is a great addition and would help draw people to the village.

“I just think it’s exciting for people who no longer want the burden of home ownership,” Goldman said.

However, Goldman did question whether there would be enough parking spaces for residents.

Trustees decided Thursday to forward the project to the plan commission to begin the formal development review and approval process for the business. The property is subject to an annexation agreement, Nordman said, which would have to be amended if the project moves forward.

Eventually, final plans would have to come back before the Village Board for approval, Nordman said.

Lewis said that if everything works out as planned, construction could start by spring of 2017 and end in fall of 2018.

acorns to help reforest county NORTHWEST HERALD

WOODSTOCK – Representatives from The Land Conservancy of McHenry County said acorns are falling from McHenry County oaks, signaling the start of the 2016 Great Acorn Roundup.

The Land Conservancy of McHenry County – a local nonprofit organization that works to preserve and restore natural, agricultural and scenic land in McHenry County – started the Acorn Roundup in 2006 to increase the number of oaks that grow from the acorns that fall each year. To date, tens of thousands of oaks have been grown and planted through this program.

TLC representatives said the Acorn Roundup is a great way to get kids, friends, neighbors and students in-

volved in a worthwhile and fun project.

Before collecting acorns, participants should obtain permission from the property owner.

Participants are asked to bring acorns to TLC’s office at 4622 Dean St., Woodstock, and sort the acorns by species of tree, and remove the caps.

For information on how to collect and bag the acorns, visit the website ConserveMC.org and type “roundup” in the search box beneath the logo to find the Acorn Roundup page with tips on collecting acorns.

From Woodstock, the acorns will be taken to Glacier Oaks Nursery in Harvard, where they will be raised into young oaks that are planted throughout McHenry County by school groups and community organizations.

Centegra encourages women to attend Mammo Monday events NORTHWEST HERALD

McHENRY – Centegra Health System is encouraging area women to attend a Mammo Monday event in September and bring their mothers, daughters, sisters and friends to a special, private setting to take control of their breast and bone health.

Attendees can take advantage of mammograms, bone-density screenings and free expert bra fittings. Light snacks will be provided.

Upcoming Mammo Mondays will be offered at the following locations and times: • 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 12, at Centegra Hospital – McHenry • 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 19 at Centegra Health Center – Huntley

Although a physician’s order is not necessary for a mammogram, a physician’s order is required for a bone -density screening.

To schedule an appointment, call 815-334-5566 or visit centegra.org/mammo for details. Insurance will be billed.

Financial assistance is available.

The American Cancer Society recommends annual mammograms for women 45 and older to maintain breast health and as a proven way to detect breast cancer in its earliest stage.

The ACS encourages women at age 55 to have mammograms every other year. However, the ACS suggests women who want yearly mammograms continue to do so but should check with their health insurance provider for coverage.

two years ago to some of its elementary students; and Fox River Grove School District 3 is planning to evaluate how its students handle the one-to-one initiative by launching a pilot program this year. District 3 Superintendent Dr. Tim Mahaffy said his students in eighth grade will be getting Microsoft Surface devices during school hours this year.

“Online learning is not just something outside the

school anymore,” Mahaffy said. “It’s in classrooms now, too.”

While some may be concerned that the computers may be a substitute to the role of a teacher someday, District 158’s Burkey said that is not the case.

“Technology is not taking place of the teachers, but instead it is transforming their role,” Burkey said.

throughout the day.”

Burkey said the district has been rolling out the Chromebooks to various grades since 2012, and now every student in the district will have one to use.

“We embarked on the process of going one-to-one four years ago, and it’s gone really well so far,” Burkey said.

Dan Armstrong, the director of communications for District 158, said the district started testing this initiative with a pilot program.

“It’s been a very involved process over the past four years,” Armstrong said. “We started with a pilot program at one our elementary schools, and we actually had a different tablet when we started this.”

The district fully implemented the technology by fall 2015 for kindergarten through eighth grade. Following that, freshmen at the high school also were given computer devices in the second semester. This year, sophomores, juniors and seniors will get them, too.

Armstrong said that it’s not only important for students to learn how to use the devices, but it’s also imperative teachers know how to use them as well.

“We really worked with teachers, preparing them and training them on teaching techniques involving this new tool,” Armstrong said. “You can’t just drop a piece of technology into the classroom without preparing the teacher on how to use it.”

District 158 is spending about $200 per new Chromebook this year. Money that usually would go toward traditional textbooks and desktop computers went toward these devices.

In other examples, Woodstock Community Unit School District 200 already rolled out the initiative

Skilled Trades and Manufacturing Mega Career Fair

I was looking at what all I need to do this week. I’m trying to prioritize because so much is going on. There just isn’t enough time anymore. Between family, friends and work commitments, I am tapped out.

For several weeks, maybe months, I wanted to start volunteering again.

Giving back just never makes the cut. It is a good thing that we live in a caring community and not everyone is slacking like me.

Today I am making some changes – no more a slacker. When I make my goals out for the months ahead, volunteering will be there. I am no longer going to participate in my community as a taker.

If we don’t prioritize giving back, chances are it never will happen.

Join me this month in finding a place to help. Whether it is in a nonprofit, church, synagogue, civic group, school, club or helping a neighbor down your street – it is time. Make time. This is important. It will make you and your community healthier, stronger and more compassionate. If you already volunteer, talk about your experience with others to help motivate them to give back. Invite others to come along.

Let’s get our community rocking with volunteers! If you need help finding a place to share your time, check out www.volunteercentermchenrycounty.org or call the Volunteer Center 815-344-4483. We have walk-in hours 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday If your organization is looking for support, check out how the Volunteer Center can help you. We have classes for nonprofit staff and board members, and grant seeker and volunteer management tools. We can help you recruit volunteers and secure in-kind donations. This fall, we will be offering a couple of new network groups. Our organization is here to help strengthen and support what you do.

WILMINGTON – More restoration efforts are planned at Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie just outside of Joliet as the site plays host to researchers from the University of Chicago and the University of Notre Dame who are working on archaeological excavations.

The excavations are part of a seven-year restoration of 1,800 acres on the prairie’s west side, which will be connected with a larger piece of the park that already has been restored so that wildlife can thrive.

The prairie’s 20,000 acres are the first tallgrass prairie established in the United States and home to a herd of more than three dozen bison since fall of last year, The Herald-News reported.

“This does not exist anywhere else,” said Gary Sullivan, senior ecologist at The Wetlands Initiative, which has teamed with U.S. Forest Service at Midewin on the land’s restoration, along with the National Forest Foundation. “The extensive native plants in all areas create a mosaic. It will take

awhile to get it where we want it, but we will restore about 600 species when finished to bring conditions back to support wildlife.”

The excavations began Aug. 1 and ran through Friday. Work may continue next year, depending on the results, which could offer a glimpse of what life may have been like on the prairie during prehistoric time.

Midewin Archaeologist Joe Wheeler is monitoring the work and the terms of the ARPA permit issued by the U.S. Forest Service. He said that when he began working at Midewin in 2013, he began looking for sites for academic investigations. He found that an 8.8-acre area, known as the Grant Creek Site, held great research potential.

“Though the Grant Creek Site dates to about 400 years ago, other nearby Native American sites date back to over 2,500 years ago, and there is evidence of people on Midewin dating back to about 9,000 to 10,000 years ago, so the land has been used and people have lived on it almost since the dawn of people in the Midwest,” Wheeler said.

Without subsidy, some face higher insurance premiums The ASSOCIATED PRESS

After years of debating health care politics and policies, Americans remain divided over President Barack Obama’s 2010 health care overhaul.

The law, which was passed without a single Republican vote when Democrats still controlled both houses of Congress. What happens after Election Day 2016 could affect health insurance for nearly everyone.

With a household income too high for a federal subsidy, Bruce Mainzer and Beth Shadur are bracing for higher health insurance premiums in 2017.

As in other states, many insurers in Illinois have requested double-digit rate increases. Americans ineligible for the government subsidies that help cover their premiums will be hit hardest.

The suburban Chicago couple buys coverage through HealthCare.gov, the federal insurance exchange set up under President Barack Obama’s health overhaul. Mainzer is a consultant in the travel industry, while his wife, Shadur, is an artist and part-time gallery director at a college.

As with many who are self-employed, their combined income can vary a lot, ranging from $65,000 to $100,000 a year. And under the health care law, there is no subsidy for in-

Chicago police arrest dozens of street gang members in raids

CHICAGO – Chicago police said they have arrested dozens of people on drug charges, including more than 60 known gang members.

In a news release Friday, the department said the arrests were made Thursday and Friday in areas all over the city that have been identified as locations of drug dealing and gang activity. The department said the raids targeted 15 street gangs in the city.

dividuals making more than $47,520 a year or families of four earning at least $97,200.

Mainzer and Shadur are among the millions of Americans who buy their own insurance without a tax credit to help defray the cost.

Health insurance already takes a hefty bite out of the couple’s budget. They pay $1,200 a month for a “bronze” plan with high deductibles, which means they pay $13,000 annually out of pocket before their coverage even kicks in.

$10,000 reward in shooting of Chicago officer’s son

CHICAGO – A $10,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to the person responsible for killing the 19-year-old son of a Chicago police officer.

Arshell Dennis III was gunned down Aug. 14 as he stood on the front porch of the family home. Dennis was a junior studying journalism at St. John’s University in New York.

The reward was initiated by the Rev. Michael Pfleger. The

On top of the cost, they’ve experienced the hassles of major disruptions in the Illinois insurance market. For one, their insurance company recently folded. It was one of the struggling co-ops set up under the federal health care law.

They are switching to Aetna in October but will start shopping again for another insurer a month later because Aetna recently said it is bailing out of the Illinois exchange-based market-

The victim’s father, Arshell “Chico” Dennis, is a longtime Chicago police officer and patrolled with Superintendent Eddie Johnson.

Illinois no longer will call children ‘wards’ of state

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner has signed an executive order banning the state from calling children under its care wards, and instead instructing that they be called “youth in care.”

Rauner signed the order

place.

“I’m looking forward to being on Medicare starting in June,” Mainzer, 64, said of the government-run health insurance program for those 65 and older. “I’ll be out of this whole crazy mess. But my wife will still be on it for a while.”

For her part, Shadur, 62, hopes the health law’s early problems ease.

“As the years go on, as long as Republicans don’t take it away, it will settle into a smoother process,” she said.

They are in good health, but Mainzer has a blood disorder, a pre-existing condition that led insurers to reject him before the Affordable Care Act took effect. He was able to get coverage only through Illinois’ highrisk pool, at about the same price he pays today.

Mainzer rejects the “repeal and replace” Republican solution, in part because getting rid of the law would mean that insurance companies could go back to denying coverage for people with pre-existing conditions.

“Ultimately, it’s clear that health care is not something that can be efficiently provided by the private sector,” he said. “The rest of the Western world has figured out that health care is a right and is intrinsically a government, public-sector activity.”

Friday afternoon at the Illinois State Fair. It said the change is necessary because referring to foster children as wards makes them “feel they are part of a bureaucracy instead of a family.” It states that the way children are treated and labeled “has a substantial effect on their self-confidence and their trust in those they rely on.”

Rauner’s order calls the term “ward” outdated and said it will be used going forward only in situations required under Illinois law. The order said the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services should instead use terms that show “respect and encouragement.”

Rauner vetoes plan to reopen Hardin County prison camp

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Bruce Rauner has vetoed legislation

that would require the reopening of the Hardin County Work Camp in far southern Illinois.

Rauner’s veto message Friday said the camp for low-risk prison inmates closed in January because of a fire but that repair costs were too high.

The House and Senate both approved legislation to reopen the camp in Cave-in-Rock.

Advocates said it provided jobs for the area and work-skills programs for inmates.

Rauner said he appreciates the impact on the economy and the loss of jobs caused.

But the Republican said requiring it to be reopened would be an unnecessary expenditure.

Rauner said he agrees with the role that work camps play in rehabilitation, but he said the facility is “dilapidated.”

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Turkey officials: 30 killed, United is watching the demand 94 hurt in wedding blast for flights and will respond

ANKARA, Turkey – A bomb attack targeting an outdoor wedding party in southeastern Turkey on Saturday killed at least 30 people and wounded 94 others, authorities said.

Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Simsek said the “barbaric” attack in the city of Gaziantep, near the border with Syria, appeared to be a suicide bombing.

Other officials said it could have been the carried out by either Kurdish militants or Islamic State extremists.

Turkey has been rocked by a wave of attacks in the past year that have either been claimed by Kurdish militants linked to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party – known by its acronym PKK – or were blamed on IS. In June, suspected IS militants attacked Istanbul’s main airport with guns and bombs, killing 44 people.

The change was approved by the City Council in April.

The New York Times reported that city officials sought parity with app-based ride services such as Uber, which don’t require an English test.

The city’s taxi drivers have been overwhelmingly foreign-born for decades. City officials said just 4 percent of current drivers were born in the U.S.

Homes burned by Calif. fire; teams look for more damage

By CHRISTOPHER WEBER and CHRISTINE ARMARIO The Associated Press

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. – In the aftermath of a wildfire, somebody has to figure out exactly what burned. It’s painstaking and important work that helps evacuated residents know whether they lost everything or have something waiting for them when they return home.

Officials estimate that at least 105 residences and 213 outbuildings have been destroyed in the massive fire that burned ferociously through Southern California mountain communities this past week and still was smoldering Saturday.

Those numbers could rise as damage assessment teams pore through the aftermath of the blaze about 60 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, said Fire Marshal Mike Horton of the San Bernardino County Fire Department. Drought conditions in California have left plenty of fuel for wildfires.

The fire sparked Tuesday was 68 percent contained, officials said, and firefighters who were on the offensive for days finally were transitioning to the mop-up phase.

Operating from a mobile command center just south of the 58-square-mile blaze, Horton leads a team of 15 investigators, technicians, hazardous materials experts and others responsible for determining the extent and nature of the damages.

“We come in right on the heels of the fire,” Horton said. “Once it’s cool enough, we go parcel-by-parcel.”

Often, properties are so decimated that it’s difficult to know whether a smoking ash heap was a home, a trailer or a water tank, he said.

Technicians consult mobile computer applications that can download geographic data and county assessors’ information to learn what might have been there before flames

swept through. Numerous photos are taken, and each “gets its own narrative” of what the team saw, Horton said.

Some evacuations remained in place, but the majority of those ordered out were allowed to return Friday, when crews made huge gains against the blaze, fire spokesman Brad Pitassi said.

“Things are extremely positive,” Pitassi said, adding that officials expected more progress and more residents returning home throughout the weekend. At the height of the fire, some 82,000 people were under evacuation orders.

Even before they go back, anxious residents sometimes can get a sense of what awaits them, thanks to reports filed swiftly by the damage assessment team. The goal is to compile the data even before the fire is fully extinguished and make them available online, via phone recordings and on postings at evacuation centers.

Maps are color-coded with red areas signifying “complete damage,” orange describing damage between 40 percent and 75 percent, yellow showing damage of less than 40 percent and green meaning no damage.

“Green, you’re in good shape,” Horton said Friday. “Any other color, and you should be concerned.”

Johanna Santore was among those left homeless. She was running an errand Tuesday when the fire charged through her neighborhood. She tried to rush home to rescue the family’s four dogs, six cats and hamster, but was blocked by closed roads.

A group of animal rescue volunteers found the house in smoldering ruins – with no signs of the pets.

“I’m actually feeling numb,” said Santore, who fled with her husband and granddaughter to an evacuation center. “It’s like a nightmare.”

Flood-weary La. cleans up as searches continue

By REBECCA SANTANA

Jody Harelson dumps a wheelbarrow of wet sheet rock on a pile of rubbish Saturday as he helps clean out Sheila Siener’s flood damaged-home in St. Amant, La.

The Associated Press

ST. AMANT, La. – Flood-weary residents cleaned out houses Saturday as search parties went door to door looking for survivors or bodies trapped by flooding so powerful in some cases it disinterred the dead and sent caskets floating from cemeteries.

At least 13 people died in the flooding that swept through parts of southern Louisiana after torrential rains lashed the region. An estimated 60,000 homes have been damaged, and 102,000 people have registered for federal assistance so far.

As waters are receding, residents are faced with mud-caked homes so thoroughly soaked that mold is a top concern.

“It’s much worse than I expected,” Sheila Siener said. “The water, the dirt, the smell. Water in the cabinets. Everything’s filthy. I’ve never been through a flood, so I really didn’t know.”

In other areas the water is still high enough to cause concern. In Lake Arthur, pumps and sandbags were keeping floodwaters out of the town of 2,700 in southwest Louisiana. But authorities said there’s still too much danger

for people to return.

In a uniquely Louisiana problem, some families are also trying to rebury relatives whose caskets were unearthed by the floods.

At least 15 cemeteries across seven parishes have had disruptions, the Louisiana Department of Health reported Saturday, although they don’t yet have an estimate of how many graves, tombs and vaults have been damaged.

The department is reaching out to affected parishes to do assessments.

In most cases, the disinterred caskets

and vaults are still within the territory of the cemetery, although one casket ended up in a nearby backyard.

In one case, a local funeral home already has recovered and re-interred the small number of caskets that surfaced.

Willie Brooks III said Saturday that he went earlier in the week to see his grandmother’s grave at the Plainview Cemetery in Denham Springs, after hearing on social media that one woman said her mom’s vault was gone.

“The vault was completely gone,” Brooks said. Instead there was just a

hole where his grandmother’s vault used to be.

“It could be down the street. It could be in the Amite River. I don’t know.”

Brooks was born and raised in Louisiana and he’s heard of this happening before but never to this extent: “It’s like a horror movie.”

In southern Louisiana, the water table is so high that people generally cannot be buried 6 feet under. Caskets often are encased in vaults that are partially above ground, said Zeb Johnson, with the Calcasieu Parish coroner’s office, who has extensive experience with recovering caskets scattered by flooding or hurricanes.

In Livingston Parish, which was hard-hit by the floods, John Marston from the coroner’s office said they’ve received reports of about 30 caskets unearthed, and they anticipate finding more when waters recede off the southern part of the parish.

“As the water table gets high and the ground gets saturated, it’s just like a boat. It’s going to float,” he said.

The problem is so widespread that the government is asking people who have seen any problems with cemeteries as a result of flooding to contact local law enforcement.

In Fredericksburg, he spoke with the aid of a teleprompter, as he has at rallies all this week, and the result was a more measured delivery that lacked the rants and tangents that marked many of his previous speeches.

Cleveland.com reported that the statue of the Republican presidential nominee that made a brief appearance Thursday in front of a Cleveland Heights bank is now being stored at that city’s police department.

The city police chief said the owner could face a fine for breaking a city code that prohibits placing items and equipment on public property.

Life-size naked Trump statues also made appearances Thursday in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle and Cleveland. They are the brainchild of an activist collective called INDECLINE, which has spoken out against Trump and his candidacy.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. – Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said his party must do a better job appealing to African-American voters and that he wants the GOP to become their political home as it was in the era of Abraham Lincoln.

“I fully recognize that outreach to the African-American community is an area where the Republican Party must do better, and will do better,” Trump said during a rally in Fredericksburg, located between Richmond and Washington in the critical battleground state of Virginia.

In spite of past fiery rhetoric that alienated many minority voters, Trump said that he wants “an inclusive party.” He noted that the “GOP is the party of Abraham Lincoln” and said, “I want our party to be a home of the African-American voter once again.”

Trump has been working in recent days to boost his appeal among African-American voters – declaring Friday that he could win 95 percent of the black vote at the end of his first term in office, if he is elected.

Trump’s new minority outreach

Earlier Saturday in New York, Trump met with his new National Hispanic Advisory Council for Trump, which will work to help him focus his message, as well as provide assistance with the campaign’s Hispanic outreach.

Polling shows Trump lagging significantly behind Democratic rival Hillary Clinton among minority voters, partially due to some of the more wayward comments he has made since entering the race. He launched his campaign last year with a speech that accused Mexico of sending rapists and criminals across the border, and has since vowed to deport all of the estimated 11 million people living in the U.S. illegally.

Helen Aguirre Ferré, director of Hispanic communications for the Republican National Committee, called the Hispanic outreach meeting a “game-changing” opportunity.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement that the group’s participation “is just one component of our expansive effort to engage the Hispanic community, and their contributions will help us compete for every vote in every community all the way through Election Day.”

Win for open government

Public records are public, even if they are stored in private locations such as a home email server or personal smartphone.

Illinois is closer to that last statement being reality after two recent decisions by top elected officials in the state.

Attorney General Lisa Madigan earlier this month ruled in a binding opinion For the record that Chicago police officers’ emails reRecent decisions should help garding the October to improve transparency at 2014 fatal shooting both the local and the state of Laquan McDonlevel in Illinois. ald are a matter of public record even though they were transmitted from personal email accounts.

Madigan’s decision follows a ruling by a Cook County Circuit Court that Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s emails about public business aren’t exempt from Freedom of Information Act requests even though they were sent on private devices.

Both rulings can be appealed, but they are healthy steps toward better government transparency in Illinois.

Consider if the alternative were true.

Public officials or servants could pick and choose what information they wanted the public to have access to – and, conversely, not have access to – simply by choosing the method and/or device in which they stored and sent information.

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton improperly used a private messaging system and server to send and store tens of thousands of official emails while she served as U.S. Secretary of State. An FBI investigation determined several of the emails contained “top secret” information and hundreds more contained “secret” or “classified” information.

For obvious reasons, top secret and classified information is exempt from public disclosure. But does anyone think Clinton should have been able to hide the thousands of other emails from the public simply because she used private devices?

Too often, too many public officials think the public has no right to know what they’re up to.

That’s simply not the case.

These recent decisions should help to improve transparency at both the local and the state level in Illinois.

As Illinois Press Association attorney Don Craven told The Associated Press for a story about Madigan’s decision, “We are a long way toward good news.”

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Panic at JFK could have been averted New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport, on most days simply a bore to pass through, descended into chaos last weekend. Waves of confusion rippled through its terminals when passengers, thinking a terrorist attack was underway, stampeded haphazardly in search of refuge. It was all for nothing.

There was no attack, no “active shooter.” Evidently, a crowd watching the Olympics on Sunday night had been cheering, and some mistook the clapping for gunshots and fled. As they did, they knocked over security cordons, which sounded like yet more shots. Soon, the airport was gripped by a cascading panic, with mobs rushing, alarms blaring and rumors spreading.

In this horrifying non-event, many of the errors the U.S. has made in response to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks – 15 years ago next month – were exemplified.

Start with security. According to a gripping account by David Wallace-Wells in New York magazine, communication from security

personnel was essentially nonexistent. No one in uniform could explain what was happening, many were themselves panicking, and crowds were allowed to dash dangerously about the airport without direction. It’s a wonder no one was hurt.

That airport officials were unprepared for such a situation – after Brussels and Istanbul and Paris and Nice and Dallas and Orlando – boggles the mind.

According to Wallace-Wells, about the only thing security guards did do was order people off the tarmac where they had gathered for safety – and back into the building where a shooter was rumored to be on the loose. After all, civilians aren’t allowed on the tarmac. It was exactly the kind of exasperating box-checking that’s been a hallmark of security after Sept. 11.

On Wednesday, state and city officials pledged a review of the response.

But that leaves a deeper question: Why was this crowd so susceptible to panic? Anxiety is

understandable in such a situation, and in such apprehensive times. But members of the public bear some responsibility for remaining calm – which is possible, as Wallace-Wells’ account shows.

Government officials could help by not being so quick to invoke fear over resilience, and to opt for security theater over sensible risk assessment, as they too often have in the past 15 years. Doing so erodes the public’s ability to put terrorism in perspective, and to think logically when faced with a threat.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but this is precisely the point of terrorism: to induce perpetual anxiety, compel costly overreactions and provoke a liberal society into curtailing its freedoms in the vain hope of perfect security.

The answer to this grim dynamic must be vigilance and fortitude, not fear. If the panic at JFK demonstrated anything, it’s that terrorism can succeed even when no one is killed.

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.

IT’S YOUR WRITE

Throw away your garbage, keep dam beautiful

To the Editor: Having come to some epiphanies recently, I have been walking to the Algonquin dam (in spite of my disability) to collect my thoughts.

I have lived in Algonquin since 1968, but started fishing at the dam in 1966, having grown up in Lake Marian in unincorporated Carpentersville. This was before fishing even was allowed at the Algonquin dam. It is a very peaceful and beautiful place, and I have been meditating there again recently, a mere 200 meters from my current residence.

It’s a dam (not damn) beautiful sight, and I have allowed myself to view this beautiful place as achieving some semblance of peace and tranquility.

But one thing really bothers me. The last two times I visited there, I noticed two garbage cans on the east side of the river, the palisades, so to speak, that the village of Algonquin maintains, and yet, literally, 10 feet away from those garbage cans, I physically have removed three empty water bottles, numerous empty bait containers and much paper refuse. Could people be any more self-centered and

impolite?

Our planet Earth, is in precarious peril because of some people’s ignorance and laziness. Really? You can’t walk a literal 10 feet to discard your refuse? You are guilty of defaming our collective humanity by doing so, and God help us all if this is the way you conduct yourselves.

Littering, in my opinion, is intolerable, so please, in the future, think about yourselves as being responsible caretakers of our beloved planet Earth.

We all should have enough common sense to protect our environment. And if people can’t relate to this subjective letter, then you, yourselves, are part of the problem and not a solution.

Robert C. Van Ness Jr. Algonquin

Consider flyover at Randall, Algonquin roads

To the Editor: After reading all of the “’solutions” to the traffic problems at Randall and Algonquin roads, I wondered why the powers that be have not considered a flyover. In Naples, Florida, there was so much congestion at Golden Gate Boulevard and Airport-Pulling Roads,

be under the influence of alcohol.

In the ensuing confrontation over paying for damages, a security guard had brandished a weapon.

If the police version is confirmed, the swimmers could face possible criminal action, although the police declined to say what kind of punishment that might be.

Brazilians understandably take such reports seriously. After all, the run-up to the Rio games was a nonstop drip of disparaging news, including a brutal recession, the devastating zika virus, escalating crime and a suppurating corruption scandal that exposed the political establishment as shameless freebooters.

On top of that drubbing came a relentless blitzkrieg by media and scientists questioning whether Rio was fit to host the world’s most revered sporting event and safeguard the world’s champions and their fans.

In response, authorities went

to Olympian lengths to make the games secure, assigning 85,000 cops, soldiers and security snoops to the task.

Word of the world’s greatest athletes assaulted on their watch would be not just an embarrassment but a testament to host country incompetence.

So Brazilians haven’t taken kindly to Lochte’s shifting account. In the local interpretation, here were sports idols who’d had their glory and suddenly were trying to play the cops and the public.

The police still are investigating the incident, which has tapped into some abiding stereotypes of arrogant Americans who think they’re above the law. Rest assured aggrieved Brazilians will be following the play by play with more than passionate interest.

the planners finally decided to install a flyover on Golden Gate Boulevard, bypassing all the congestion.

You still can enter and exit onto Airport-Pulling, so businesses need not be concerned.

I often have wondered why a flyover, to my knowledge, has never been considered on Randall Road, “flying over” Algonquin Road or vice-versa. Is it the cost, or did nobody ever think of it?

Denied medical care

three operations since the first of the year. I am retired, so I do not have a lot of medical coverage. The reason for the issues is due to my contact with Agent Orange when I served in Vietnam.

Based on my income, I am not able to pay my bill. I have a sore on my left arm that is not healing. I was scheduled to see a dermatologist today, but he refused to see me for the medical attention needed until I paid my bill.

How can he do this? My sore could be skin cancer, and I am denied medical attention? This is just not right.

Sports fans boo for many reasons.

Brazilians, maybe more than most.

Jeers, catcalls and heckling have been staples of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, and the habit has stirred a storm of comment and consternation.

The barrage from the bleachers has brought a Russian swimmer to tears, unnerved a French pole vaulter and targeted a Vietnamese marksman (booing at a shooting match?).

Thomas Bach, the International Olympics Committee president, has made his disapproval public, saying, “This is unacceptable.”

That may be so, and the boors from Brazil deserve a dressing down. But now a quartet of U.S. Olympians may have won the competition for most galling behavior.

Swimmer Ryan Lochte and three of his teammates told police earlier this week they’d been robbed at

gunpoint by men posing as police officers after leaving an all-night party in Rio’s tony south zone. The more they elaborated on their saga, however, the more rococo the tale became. The swimmers couldn’t agree on how many assailants there were nor the color of the taxi they’d hired. They told the police the thieves took some cash but inexplicably left them their wallets, phones and Olympic passes.

Lochte left Brazil earlier in the week, but after pulling two of his teammates off a U.S.-bound plane and confiscating their passports, Brazilian police now are reporting the swimmers were not robbed at all. Instead, they had gotten into a scuffle with employees at a gas station.

In a Thursday news conference, Rio state Civil Police Chief Fernando Veloso said a security tape and testimony from witnesses revealed the athletes had vandalized the convenience store and appeared to

THE ISSUE

The rich keep getting richer while more Americans are getting left behind financially.

Income inequality has surged near levels last seen before the Great Depression.

The average income for the top 1 percent of households climbed 7.7 percent last year to $1.36 million, according to tax data tracked by Emmanuel Saez, an economics professor at the University of California, Berkeley.

That privileged sliver of the population saw pay climb at almost twice the rate of income growth for the other 99 percent, whose pay averaged a humble $48,768.

But why care how much the wealthy are making? What counts the most to any family is how much that family is bringing in.

And that goes to the heart of the income-inequality debate: Most Americans still have yet to recover from the Great Recession, even though that downturn ended seven years ago. The average income for the 99 percent is still lower than it was back in 1998 after adjusting for inflation.

Meanwhile, incomes for the executives, bankers, hedge fund managers, entertainers and doctors who make up the top 1 percent have steadily improved. These one-percenters account for roughly 22 percent of all personal income, more than double the postWorld War II era level of roughly 10 percent. One reason the income disparity is troubling for the nation is that it’s thinning out the ranks of the middle class.

WHERE THEY STAND

Hillary Clinton has highlighted inequality in multiple speeches, with her positions evolving somewhat over the past year. Bernie Sanders held her feet to the fire on that subject in the primaries. Clinton hopes to redirect more money to the middle class and impoverished. Clinton would raise taxes on the wealthy, increase the federal minimum wage, boost infrastructure spending, provide universal pre-K and offer the prospect of tuition-free college.

Donald Trump offers a blunter message about a hollowed-out middle class and a system “rigged” against average Americans. Still, he has yet to emphasize income inequality in the campaign. To bring back the factory jobs long associated with the rise of the middle class, Trump has promised new

trade deals and infrastructure spending. But Trump has also proposed a tax plan that would allow the wealthiest Americans to keep more of their earnings.

WHY IT MATTERS

President Barack Obama has called rising inequality “the defining challenge of our time.” And experts warn that it may be slowing overall economic growth. Greater inequality has created a festering distrust of government and of corporate leaders whose promises of better times ahead never fully materialized.

The result has been a backlash against globalization that many Americans feel tilted the economy against them. For the top 1 percent, the ability to move money overseas and reach markets worldwide concentrated pay

for “superstars,” according to economists. At the same time, factory workers now compete with 3 billion people in China, India, Eastern Europe and elsewhere who weren’t working for multinational corporations 20 years ago. Many now make products for Apple, Intel, General Motors and others at low wages. This has depressed middle-class pay. These trends have contributed to a “hollowed out” labor market in the United States, with more jobs at the higher and lower ends of the pay scale and fewer in the middle.

Social factors have amplified the trend as well. Single-parent families are more likely to be poor than other families and less likely to ascend the income ladder. Finally, men and women with college degrees and high pay are more likely to marry each other and amplify income gaps.

Self-driving Uber cars to carry passenger soon

By JUSTIN PRITCHARD and TOM KRISHER The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO – In a few weeks, Uber will start using self-driving cars to carry passengers in Pittsburgh, raising the stakes in the fast-track race to deploy autonomous vehicles.

The ride-hailing company said Thursday that customers will be able to opt into the test program, which will use autonomous Ford Fusions summoned by the touch of a smartphone. Although other companies are testing self-driving cars on public roads, this is the first time the public will get access to them.

The rides, which come with a human backup driver to handle situations that the autonomous cars haven’t seen, will be free to those willing to take part, the company said.

Uber, which has a self-driving research lab in Pittsburgh, has no immediate plans to deploy autonomous cars beyond the Pittsburgh experiment. But its CEO, Travis Kalanick, has said that without drivers, the cost of hailing a ride will be cheaper than owning a car.

Kalanik, in a Thursday interview with The Associated Press, said development of autonomous cars is paramount for the 7-year-old San Francisco-based company. “We’re catching up fast, but we need to get to No. 1 quick,” he said.

“We’ve got to be laser-focused on getting this to market, because it’s not a side project for us. This is everything. This is all the marbles for Uber.”

Uber also announced a $300 million alliance with Volvo to supply vehicles and technology, and the acquisition of an autonomous big-rig startup in San Francisco as it pushes forward with self-driving vehicles. The announcements may push it ahead of its prime competitor, Lyft, which earlier this year took a $500 mil-

Uber and Volvo announced Thursday a $300 million deal for Volvo to provide SUVs to Uber for autonomous vehicle research. lion investment from General Motors.

They’re part of a flurry of deals between Silicon Valley tech companies, traditional automakers and ride-hailing companies as they vie for leadership in what’s being billed as the next step in the way we all will get around. Google parent company Alphabet Inc., which has been testing autonomous cars on public roads since 2009, is among the leaders, but has not carried passengers.

Uber’s move to carry people with autonomous vehicles is not surprising, given the company’s history of pushing into gray areas where there is little or no regulation, said Bryant Walker Smith, a University of South Carolina professor who studies self-driving technology.

Pennsylvania, he said, has no laws governing autonomous cars and how they relate to ride-hailing, but local laws may require a driver behind the wheel.

By using human backup drivers, Uber basically is going to test the technology and take people along for the ride, he said.

“Part of this is marketing in the sense

that they’re going to be doing continued research and development of these systems, but they’re going to carry people in the process,” he said.

Walker Smith predicted that drivers often will have to intervene in Pittsburgh, with its winding, hilly roads and vast number of bridges. The city also gets a fair amount of snow, which can cover lane lines and trick autonomous car sensors. Use of the backup drivers also is an acknowledgement that autonomous driving systems to date cannot handle the wide range of unpredictable circumstances on public roads, Walker Smith said.

Timothy Carone, a Notre Dame professor and author of “Future Automation: Changes to Lives and to Businesses,” said Uber is trying to get first mover advantage by putting its cars on the road before competitors. But unlike Tesla Motors, which put semi-autonomous technology in the hands of individual customers, Uber is mitigating the risk by putting its own drivers in the front seat.

“This is a way to get autonomous cars out there and accepted and increase the adoption rate,” Carone said. “It will take a decade of testing before an 18-year-old can get in the car and tell it where to go.”

Kalanick wouldn’t speculate on when Uber might be ready to dispense with the human driver, saying that full automation can only be used now in limited places with little traffic. That’s very different from the relative chaos of even a small downtown, much less a big city where drivers don’t always follow the rules of the road.

Carone expects Uber competitors to accelerate self-driving tests or merger plans. But he thinks they will all adopt the same risk-management approach as Uber. Ford Motor Co., for example, said earlier this week that it will have a fully autonomous car with no steering wheel or pedals on the road by 2021, but it will only be used by car-sharing services and won’t be sold to individual customers.

Uber announced a $300 million deal for Volvo to provide SUVs to Uber for autonomous vehicle research. Eventually the Volvo SUVs will be part of the self-driving fleet in Pittsburgh. Volvo will develop base vehicles for research and both companies will design autonomous vehicles on their own.

Uber also announced that it is acquiring a self-driving startup called Otto that has developed technology allowing big rigs to drive themselves.

With Otto, Uber gets a fast infusion of self-driving expertise, including Otto co-founder Anthony Levandowski, one of the founding fathers of autonomous technology.

Though the Google car project just lost its director, Chris Urmson, it has a big head start on Uber and others. Its leaders have suggested they could launch public pilot tests of cars with no steering wheels or pedals in the next year or two.

Mother is elderly; does she need long-term care insurance?

Dear Dave: I’m trying to help my elderly mom with her finances. She has no debt and more than $1 million in assets.

There was also another $500,000 trust left for her by my dad. With access to all this, does she still need longterm health insurance? – Anonymous Dear Anonymous: Absolutely! She also needs an estate planner immediately.

Your parents were far too wise with their money to have your mom end up in a bad situation toward the end of her life.

You need to do everything you can to prevent this from happening.

In the event she’s unable to take care of herself, long-term care health

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey coverage to take care of nursing home or in-home care is an absolute necessity. The cost of nursing home care can run from $75,000 to $100,000 a year.

Your mom is in great shape financially. But just imagine what a prolonged nursing home stay could do to her nest egg. It’s not a pretty thought.

When you hit 60, you need longterm care insurance, period. Whether you have $1 million-plus in the bank or not, I strongly recommend it as a

wise part of any asset management plan.

Dear Dave: What exactly is a money market account? – Julie Dear Julie: Money markets are shortterm financial instruments. Money market accounts pay about the same, maybe a little bit more, than traditional savings accounts. If you get a money market account with a bank, you’ve basically got a savings account that mirrors – or pays about the same – as the actual money markets.

Now, if you get a money market account with a mutual fund company, you’re actually buying into the money markets.

The big difference is that the mutual fund companies are a lot more

flexible, and they don’t have FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) insurance.

I have my emergency fund parked in a mutual fund company money market account, and the great thing is that it’s fully liquid – meaning there are no penalties to take cash out at any time. It’s a perfect place to keep an emergency fund!

Coaches have an obligation to quiet obnoxious parents Dear Abby: I need some words of wisdom from you. This past weekend, I went to see my 7-year-old nephew play baseball. These are all young kids just learning the game.

There was one young player whose father kept shouting horrible things at him like, “Catch like a MAN!” and, “I don’t know why I waste my time coming here!” It was horrible to see that poor kid just wilt under his father’s abuse.

Maybe I should have spoken up, but I was scared. Was there anything I could have said? What can be done under those circumstances? I worry there may be a lot more parents out there like this dad. Say something, Abby. We need your help. – Ashamed Of That Dad In Decatur Dear Ashamed Of That Dad: Children

who are encouraged usually do well

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips at an activity. Those who are bullied, as that child was, do not. What you witnessed was someone trying to relive his own youth through his child.

The person to address the belligerent parent should have been the coach of the team.

Dear Abby: I just want to let you know you changed my life. I’m 68 years old with two grown girls and two grandchildren. My husband and I had the old-fashioned flip phones and were not “into” texting like our children and grandchildren.

Every few weeks, we’d get the obligatory phone call from one of the

daughters, and I would feel a tinge resentful both of our girls didn’t call more. Along came your column about a grandma who was miffed because her family didn’t call often and were more into texting. I was thinking, “You go, Grandma!” because I identified with her.

Your answer surprised me. You told Gram to get with the program and enter her kids’ world. Well, that’s what I did. I got a new cellphone with a keyboard for texting. (Smartphones are not practical where we live.)

Abby, texting has transformed my world! I’m closer than ever with the girls. We send pictures and little “thinking of you” notes. I can never thank you enough for your wise advice. If I hadn’t read your response, my life would be the poorer for it.

Bless you. – Barb In Rodeo, N.M.

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

Dear Barb: Your letter brightened my day. You’re welcome. But kudos to you for taking it to heart. Technology is constantly evolving and becoming easier to use, and it’s meant to help bring people closer. I’m glad it has done that for you.

Dear Abby: What does it say about my ex-husband who has been paying storage fees on household items ever since our separation and divorce over 20 years ago? – Beverly In Nevada Dear Beverly: What it says to me is your ex is unusually sentimental and/ or can afford it.

P.S. And why, after all this time, would you care so much that you would write to me about it?

VOLLEYBALL: SEASON PREVIEW

GREAT EXPECTATIONS

Five players to watch

ALLY DION Huntley, sr., OH Dion was Huntley’s best all-around player last season, recording 271 kills, 162 digs and 62 aces. The Northwest Herald All-Area second-team selection helped lead the Red Raiders to second in the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division and committed this summer to Southeast Missouri State.

SYDNEY NEMTUDA Marian Central, sr., OH Nemtuda, a Florida Atlantic University commit, will be counted on to lead Marian Central’s attack once again after recording a team-high 371 kills last season and adding 185 digs and 38 aces to help lead the Hurricanes to a 39-3 record.

Nemtuda was a Northwest Herald All-Area first-team selection as a junior.

JORDAN PROSZENYAK Crystal Lake South, sr., OH Proszenyak emerged as a team leader last year for the Gators, who tied Huntley for runner-up in the FVC Valley and won their third straight Class 4A regional title.

The 5-foot-11 outside hitter led South in kills in both their regional championship win over DeKalb and sectional final loss to Cary-Grove.

GENESIS SHERIDAN Prairie Ridge, jr., MB/OPP Sheridan’s main position is middle blocker, but Wolves coach Stephanie Otto said her versatility allows the 6-foot-1 junior to play multiple positions. Sheridan committed to South Carolina in the summer and will play with Mikayla Robinson, a senior at Harvest Christian and the daughter of former Chicago Bears receiver Marcus Robinson.

MCKAYLA WUENSCH Marian Central, sr., S Wuensch ran one of the most dynamic offenses in the state last season, recording the ninth-most assists in IHSA history with 1,052, adding 176 digs and 85 kills, and leading the Hurricanes to the Class 3A state championship.

Wuensch was a Northwest Herald All-Area first-team pick last year and will play college volleyball at Nevada.

Prairie Ridge a top contender in the new-look FVC

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com After going 12-0 in the Fox Valley Conference Fox Division and winning the unofficial conference championship against Cary-Grove, the Prairie Ridge girls volleyball team knows expectations for the 2016 season are the highest they have been in quite some time – from both the inside and the outside.

“I know a lot of people are expecting a lot out of us because we have a big team, and we’ve all been playing volleyball (together) for a really long time,” 6-foot-3 junior Erin McNeil said. “But our goal is to go out every game, work hard and outwork the other team.”

The Wolves, who won their first regional championship since 2012, again will be among the top tier of teams contending for a conference championship. This year, there no longer are FVC Fox or FVC Val-

Continued from page 3 The Wolves also return senior middle blocker Allie Cole, junior libero Mackenzie Garis, junior outside hitter Emily Baudin, and sophomore setter Jayden Otto, a Northwest Herald All-Area honorable mention selection as a freshman, giving them a formidable starting rotation.

Winning the FVC Fox, an unofficial conference championship and a regional title last season was a big confidence booster for the Wolves, but they are hoping for even bigger prizes this year after Crystal Lake South knocked them out of the postseason in the sectional semifinals.

“I think they really liked the feel of that (winning a regional), and really enjoyed that and savored that,” Otto said. “So I think that those kids will want to re-experience that run for sure, and try to go farther.”

The Wolves’ first test will come Tuesday when they face Cary-Grove, the defending FVC Valley champions who made it all the way to the Class 4A state semifinals and placed third.

Prairie Ridge is hoping it can make it that far, too.

“I know we want to get as far as we can, and, hopefully, make it to state,”

C-G lost seven senior leaders, including 2015 Northwest Herald Player of the Year Erin Olson (Bradley) and Alli Splitt (Illinois-Springfield), but expectations remain high, Langanis said. Amber Olson is committed to Central Florida, and Elrod is committed to Maryland-Baltimore County.

Crystal Lake Central Coach: Lisa Brunstrum (sixth season) Last year: 27-11, 10-2 FVC Fox (second) Top returners: Olivia Doak, jr., S; Megan Kelly, jr., S; Emily Kelly, jr., OH; Kendall Lownds, jr., DS Key newcomers: Emma Gruper, jr., DS; Camryn Hausler, fr., OH; Madelyn Blake, fr., OH; Olivia Anderson, fr., MB; Paige Hulata, so., MB. Worth noting: The Tigers claimed their first regional title since 2012 before losing to Cary-Grove in the sectional semifinals last season. The Tigers will be young in terms of varsity experience, but versatility should be a strength and allow them to be a top contender in the FVC, Brunstrum said. Central has no returning seniors on the roster and 10 underclassmen.

Crystal Lake South Coach: Jorie Fontana (ninth season) Last year: 23-16, 6-4 FVC Valley (tied for second) Top returners: Madison Dahl, sr., DS; Hannah Koenig, sr., OH/RS; Jordan Proszenyak, sr., OH; Kleja Cerniauskaite, jr., MB; Emily Slimko, jr., S Key newcomers: Aurora Nero, jr., OH; Yianna Kirimis, jr., MB; Leah Koenig, sr., DS Worth noting: The Gators knocked off Prairie Ridge in a sectional semifinal but lost to Cary-Grove in the final, falling a win short of its third straight sectional title. The Gators lost a team captain in Kendall Killberger, but return a strong group of hitters. “These girls know that this is going to be a tough season with so many great teams in [the FVC],” Fontana said. “We are focused on working hard, building around our strengths and learning from our experiences.”

Dundee-Crown Coach: Christine Hopkins-Muehl (fifth season) Last year: 27-10, 4-6 FVC Valley (fourth) Top returners: Emma Brant, sr., MB; Paige Gieseke, sr., MB; Ali Buckley, sr., S; Ayana

D-C lost to Crystal Lake Central in a regional final, but the Chargers have increased their win total four straight seasons. “We are going to be a little smaller in stature, but we are big on heart and we plan on being very competitive,” Hopkins-Muehl said.

Hampshire Coach: Lauren Jensen (first season) Last year: 12-24, 4-8 FVC Fox (tied for fifth) Top returners: Gianna Garza, jr., OH/ MB; Sophie Holtz, jr., S/RS; Khryz Louise Peralta, sr., OH; Maggie Seagren, jr., S/RS Key newcomers: Lucy Magnussen, jr. MB; Riley Seagren, so., OH; Abby DeDina, jr., DS; Isabella Sobota, so., DS; Madisyn Reinke, so., OH Worth noting: Jensen previously had been the freshman coach at Woodstock North and a coach at Sky High Volleyball. Hampshire lost five seniors to graduation, but numbers are up. Jensen has implemented new activities in the offseason to promote unity, including classroom training, high repetition training, setters training and team bonding.

“It is so important for these girls to learn how to play together, communicate and understand we have one common goal, and that’s to be competitive in the FVC,” Jensen said.

Huntley Coach: Karen Naymola (fifth season) Last year: 23-15, 6-4 FVC Valley (tied for second) Top returners: Ally Dion, sr., OH; Caitlin Thorelius, sr., MB; Nicole Miller, sr., S; Aleah Amelio, jr., RS; Sarah Zayas, so., S; Julia Johnson, so., OH Key newcomers: Taylor Jakubowski, fr., S; Arianna Torres, so., DS; Loren Alberts, so., MB; Josie Schmitendorf, fr., DS Worth noting: Huntley was one win shy of collecting its third consecutive regional title last year. Dion, a Northwest Herald All-Area second-team selection, committed to Southeast Missouri and was the Red Raiders’ best all-around player as a junior. Jakubowski, a freshman, was voted team captain by her teammates. “Our team is young and smaller this year, but we will be able to run a very fast offense,” Naymola said. “Defensively, we will be extremely strong.”

Jacobs Coach: Lisa Dwyer (11th season) Last year: 17-20, 3-7 FVC Valley (fifth) Top returners: Rachel Holstein, sr., MB; Autumn Miller, jr., OH; Danielle Cassidy, sr., DS; Katelyn Rainsford, sr., DS; Lindsay Czech, sr., DS; Abby Piemonte, sr., DS See VOLLEYBALL CAPSULES, page 5

The United States’ Allyson Felix celebrates with her teammates after winning the gold medal in the women’s 4x400-meter relay final Saturday night at the Olympic stadium in Rio de Janeiro.

TRACK & FIELD

Felix, Merritt help bring U.S. medal total to 31 in track

By EDDIE PELLS

The Associated Press RIO DE JANEIRO – Allyson Felix and LaShawn Merritt are two savvy track stars who’ve been around long enough to know that not everything always goes to plan.

Over the final, topsy-turvy 30 minutes at the Olympic track Saturday night, both Americans came away with prizes they’d been wishing for all along.

Those prizes were both golds from the 4x400 relays, and the United States exited the final night of action at Olympic Stadium with 31 medals – the most it has taken in a nonboycotted Olympics since 1956, when the world and track both were very different places.

One of those 31 had been looking to go to 41-year-old Bernard Lagat in the 5,000 meters. He actually finished fifth, but two runners ahead of him, including American Paul Chelimo, were disqualified for interference. A review en-

sued, Chelimo was reinstated to silver and Lagat dropped to fifth – a bummer for the elder statesman of the U.S. track team, but some sort of sign for the team: Even when it lost, it won.

All those reviews and appeals made for a strange scene as the program came to a close. Mo Farah, Chelimo and Hagos Gebrhiwet marched to the podium to receive their medals nearly an hour after the evening’s final race in front of a few thousand stragglers in the stands.

That was wacky. But the night’s biggest surprise came from Matthew Centrowitz, who shocked the field in a slow 1,500-meter final and became the first American to win a gold in the “metric mile” since 1908. His time was 3 minutes, 50 seconds.

“Doing my victory lap, I literally kept screaming to everyone I know, ‘Are you kidding me?’ ” Centrowitz said.

Felix spent a lot of the week saying the same thing – and not in a good way.

This has been an adjust-on-the-fly year for America’s best-known track star – her failure to make the team for the 200 meters, her jaw-dropping silver-medal moment when a diving sprinter from the Bahamas beat her in the 400 and more. But on back-to-back nights, she took relay gold.

This time, she ran a 49.66-second anchor lap in the 4x400. Over the second and third laps, Americans Natasha Hastings and Phyllis Francis held big leads, only to watch them dwindle dramatically as they legged out their final meters.

Felix took the green baton about two steps ahead of Jamaica’s Novelene Williams-Mills, and slowly, steadily expanded it for a total time of 3:19.06 and a 1.28-second win. Yes, the United States might have relay problems – see, the men’s 4x100, which flamed out again the night before – but this certainly isn’t one of them. The race has gone to America six straight times.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL – GOLD-MEDAL GAME: UNITED STATES 101, SPAIN 72

U.S. women win 6th straight title

By DOUG FEINBERG The Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO – Geno Auriemma and Diana Taurasi shared a long, emotional embrace. Mission accomplished.

The dominant U.S. women’s basketball team did what was expected, winning a sixth consecutive Olympic gold medal and doing it in impressive fashion. In yet another rout, the U.S. dismantled Spain, 101-72, Saturday.

Taurasi and the Americans played nearly flawless basketball in Rio, and never were challenged. They have won 49 consecutive games in the Olympics, with only one of those decided by single digits.

“It’s amazing, isn’t it? I mean when you think, that’s 20 years of 20 years,” Auriemma said. “You know the first one was ’96, and here we are 2016. It’s mindboggling when you think about it what this team has been able to accomplish, this program of the USA Basketball program. There is such a level of expectation, there’s such a level of respect for the people at the very top.

“We’re doing stuff that may never be done again.”

Even with that kind of sustained success by some very talented U.S. teams, this might be the best women’s basketball squad ever assembled. The team won by nearly 40 points a game, but fell short of the record 102.4 points the 1996 team averaged.

But if this isn’t the best ever, it’s close.

Taurasi puts the 2016 group at the top of the list.

“I mean, I’m not just saying talent-wise. I’m Geno not saying margin of Auriemma victory. I’m saying this is the most determined, unselfish team I’ve ever been on – hands down,” the four-time gold medalist said.

There never really was any doubt that the U.S. would win the gold in Rio. The only question was by how much.

Still, closure to their journey Saturday had Auriemma and Taurasi both fighting back tears.

“I think it was a very emotional time. When you’re around these play-

ers and you’re around Sue (Bird) and Diana and Tamika (Catchings), and you know that this maybe their last and you’re able to send them out, it’s like graduating seniors back home,” Auriemma said. “And at the same time, you’ve got three young players who’ve never been here before. They get to go home with their first gold medal ever.

“There’s just a lot of emotions running through our team and running through our locker room.”

Unlike their semifinal win over France, when the Americans looked discombobulated for a half, the U.S. was more fluid offensively. It helped having Bird back in the lineup. The four-time gold medalist and team captain missed the semifinal game with a sprained right knee capsule. She wasn’t 100 percent Saturday, but was good enough.

The U.S., which beat Spain by 40 in a preliminary round game, got off to a slow start and only led 21-17 after the first quarter. The Americans were up 27-24 in the second quarter before getting going.

Just by stepping on the court Saturday, Foluke Akinradewo showed how this squad stuck together. She returned from an injury to her left leg that forced her out early in the semifinal loss to Serbia. The star middle blocker took charge as the top-ranked Americans bounced back two days later to beat the Netherlands 25-23, 25-27, 25-22, 25-19.

Ryan Lochte says ‘immature behavior’ got him into a mess

NEW YORK – American swimmer Ryan Lochte said he over-exaggerated what happened at a Rio de Janeiro gas station and acknowledged it was his “immature behavior” that got him and three teammates into a mess that consumed the final days of the Olympics.

Lochte, in a portion of an interview with NBC’s Matt Lauer that aired Saturday , continued backtracking from a story that he initially described as an armed robbery.

Police have said the swimmers vandalized a bathroom after a night of partying and armed guards confronted them and asked them to pay for the damage.

“It’s how you want to make it look like,” Lochte said. “Whether you call it a robbery or whether you call it extortion or us just paying for the damages, we don’t know. All we know is that there was a gun pointed in our direction and we were demanded to give money.”

10 NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL

6 arrested, 1 for tackling officer

By RICK CALLAHAN The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS – Notre Dame cornerback Devin Butler was jailed Saturday after a police officer said the player punched and slammed him to the ground outside a bar, and five teammates were arrested in a separate incident when a trooper found marijuana and a loaded handgun inside their car during a traffic stop.

Officers had to use a stun gun to subdue Butler in the altercation outside the Linebacker Lounge in South Bend, according to a probable cause affidavit.

South Bend police spokesman Lt. Joe Galea said that after officers broke up a fight inside the bar, they saw two women fighting outside when Butler allegedly shoved one of the women. Butler was agitated and when officers told him to back away, he allegedly pushed the officers and then attacked one of them.

The affidavit said Butler tackled an officer to the ground, punched him several times in the side and stomach, and pulled off his duty belt.

“He shouted profanities at the officers and started swinging his fist,” Galea said of Butler.

The St. Joseph County prosecutor’s office said Butler faced possible charges of resisting law enforcement and battery to a police officer, both felonies. Butler was being held at the county jail on $10,000 surety bond.

But Prosecutor Kenneth P. Cotter said

Devin Butler

Ashton White Te’von Coney

Max Redfield Kevin Dexter Stepherson Jr. Williams in a statement Saturday that he’s seeking court approval for additional time to investigate the case so his office can “determine whether formal charges are appropriate.”

The officer Butler allegedly attacked was taken to a hospital for treatment for minor injuries, including a sore wrist, Galea said.

According to the affidavit, Butler apologized while he was being taken to jail, “stating that he had been incredibly emotional and intoxicated.”

Butler played in 12 games for Notre Dame last season, starting the regular-season finale against Stanford. He didn’t play in the Fiesta Bowl because of a broken foot.

He also started twice as a sophomore in 2014. He had 11 tackles last season, seven

coming on special teams. Irish coach Brian Kelly said in June that Butler would miss the beginning of the season with a broken left foot and could be out until October.

The five other players were arrested Friday night after Indiana State Police said a trooper stopped a car in Fulton County about 35 miles south of South Bend for speeding. The trooper detected the odor of marijuana, and with the help of a drug-sniffing dog, he found the marijuana and handgun, police said.

The university confirmed that those arrested were: cornerback Ashton White, starting safety Max Redfield, receiver Kevin Stepherson Jr., linebacker Te’von Coney and Dexter Williams, who’s one of three running backs expected to play regularly for the Irish this season.

All five were released Saturday afternoon from the Fulton County Jail in Rochester, where they had been held on a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge.

Redfield, Stepherson and Williams face an additional misdemeanor charge of possession of an unlicensed handgun.

It was not immediately clear if any of the six players had attorneys who could comment on their behalf.

University spokesman Paul Browne said in a statement that “any student arrested on a felony charge also faces dismissal from the university.”

“The university will determine if additional sanctions should apply to any or all of the students charged,” his statement said.

MEN’S BASKETBALL – GOLD-MEDAL GAME: USA VS. SERBIA, 10 A.M. SUNDAY, NBC

Team USA goes for 3 golds in a row

By BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO – No gold, no glory.

That’s the way it is for the U.S. men’s basketball team. The Americans, the standard in the sport since winning their first 63 games after it debuted 80 years ago in the Olympics, are either winners or failures.

There is no celebrating silver.

When they say adeus to Rio, it can be with only one thing around their necks to deem the games a success.

“That’s what we came here for, and we don’t want to leave with anything less than the gold medal,” forward Carmelo Anthony said.

Anthony and the Americans will be playing for their third in a row Sunday when they face Serbia, a team of heroes

back home no matter what the scoreboard says after 40 minutes.

They have restored the pride of a basketball-crazed country, already secured their first medal since becoming an independent nation in 2006.

And as they whooped it up after their 87-61 semifinal rout of Australia on Friday, it was easy to think the Serbs’ work already was finished.

Their coach won’t let Carmelo them.

Anthony “I know just two ways,” Sasha Djordjevic said during his postgame news conference. “You just play basketball or you just play basketball to win. You guys don’t know me, but my answer is B.” Yet the Serbs delivered a happy-tobe-here performance last time they had

a crack at the mighty Americans for a championship.

The teams met in 2014 in Madrid in the Basketball World Cup final and the Americans romped to a 129-92 victory, finishing a tournament where they won by 33 points a game.

“Two years ago in Spain we get into the game not mentally ready,” Serbia captain Milos Teodosic said. “We were too much happy that we reached the final and we had that experience and we cannot allow that to repeat.”

The U.S. isn’t expecting it.

These Olympics have been way too tough to believe they will end easily. This U.S. team, less talented and experienced then the past two gold medalists, already had had four games decided by 10 points or less, including its 82-76 victory over Spain in the semifinals.

WHITE SOX 6, A’S 2

Sale ends drought with 8 scoreless

By MIKE CRANSTON The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Chris Sale raced out as the majors’ first 14-game winner and was the AL starter in the All-Star game. Then the White Sox ace hit a rut and drew attention not for his pitching, but his jersey-shredding tirade.

After a masterful eight scoreless innings that produced his first victory in 49 days, Sale acknowledged the importance of what Chris Sale he called “getting over the hump.”

Sale allowed three hits and threw a season-high 120 pitches, Jose Abreu homered and the Sox beat the Oakland Athletics, 6-2, Saturday night.

“My last few times out I haven’t been as good as I’ve wanted to be or as good as I’ve needed to be,” the lefty said.

Sale (15-6) had gone 0-4 in his previous six starts, interrupted by a five-day suspension for slicing up throwback uniforms he didn’t want to wear.

He looked like his dominant early season self, retiring the last seven batters, five by strikeout, and working in sync with catcher Dioner Navarro.

“He’s calling two-seams and four-seams on both sides of the plate. Front-door, backdoor breaking balls and stuff like that,” Sale said.

The Sox scored four runs with two outs, including Abreu’s solo shot that just cleared the 8-foot wall and Brett Eibner’s glove in right in the first inning. Melky Cabrera added an RBI double in the second and a run-scoring single in the fourth off Ross Detwiler (1-2).

12 CUBS

Were warning signs on La Stella missed?

Sources: Infielder pulled similar stunts in Atlanta

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

DENVER – Should the Cubs have seen the Tommy La Stella AWOL drama coming?

Maybe that’s easy to say in retrospect. Because La Stella did something similar with the Braves as a rookie in 2014 just before he was traded to the Cubs, according to multiple sources.

The story from Atlanta is that a sudden health issue involving a girlfriend prompted La Stella to leave the ballpark during batting practice without permission or telling his manager or coaches, who found out when they noticed he was gone around game time.

It predictably infuriated his manager and that, combined with other small quirks, made him eminently available the next time the Cubs asked for him in trade talks after that season.

His professional history includes

other incidents of unexplained tardiness and “where’s-Tommy” moments, according to sources.

Cubs officials did not want to comment on specifics involving the backup infielder who has received more of the wrong kind of attention in the past month than any 25th man is entitled – certainly more than many teams would tolerate.

But during a season of extreme expectations, the unnecessary distraction for a team with few apparent blemishes – on or off the field – does underscore the broader challenge Tommy of knowing who you’re La Stella putting in your clubhouse as much as what you’re putting in your lineup when you add a player.

The Cubs coveted La Stella since scouting his exceptional work at the plate in the minors. And they knew from background work that he could at times march to his own drummer.

As manager Joe Maddon put it: “Tommy hears his own beat. And I love him for it. He’s a very interesting young man.”

Whether they would have made the trade if they’d known more specifics on the self-centered behavior and AWOL

history isn’t certain. But challenges associated with that side of the scouting equations – with all its hits and misses – are not unique to the Cubs.

“With every trade, you try to dig as much as possible on a player’s background,” Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer said. “We’re trying to create a great clubhouse, and within that it’s really important to find out a player’s makeup.”

For instance, the Nationals learned the hard way last year they were getting a poor fit for their clubhouse when they traded for All-Star closer help in Jonathan Papelbon (who subsequently choked their superstar slugger, Bryce Harper, on TV).

The Cubs’ previous regime swung and missed badly on free-agent Milton Bradley, who didn’t last one year of his three-year deal after poor performance and repeated distractions that helped derail a team with playoff hopes.

And even during the early stages of this regime’s rebuilding process, it missed on the personal evaluation and attitude history when it traded with the Rockies for toolsy, first-round power hitter Ian Stewart.

Stewart – whose attitude at times was so relaxed that Rockies coaches asked him if he even cared about base-

ball – failed in two tries with the Cubs, eventually negotiating a contract buyout after a series of late-night, anti-Cub tweets while in the minors.

“I think that’s the tricky part of being [in the] front office or a scout: You probably don’t know what guys are made of until you see them on a dayto-day basis,” said DJ LeMahieu, the prospect thrown into the Stewart trade, who went on to become an All-Star, a Gold Glove second baseman, and who entered Saturday hitting .343, second in the National League by a point.

“There’s a lot of guys that grow up real quick, and there’s a lot of guys that as long as they’re producing people can put up with that stuff,” said LeMahieu, who turned out to be the other side of the personality-side of the scouting equation.

“At that point in my career, I don’t think people really knew what to think of me,” said the lanky, 6-foot-4 infielder. “I was tall, I was playing the middle infield, I didn’t hit for a lot of power. I think at that point it was very hard to get a read on me.

“But I think I have a drive to get better, to get better every year, and I expect a lot out of myself. It’s kind of hard to see that as someone on another team or someone in another organization.”

Montgomery impressive in 1st start for Cubs

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

DENVER – Not surprisingly, John Lackey doesn’t plan to spend any more time on the disabled list than he’s forced to with that shoulder soreness that put him out Friday.

“I’m not just taking a vacation,” said the all-business veteran of two World Series clinchers, who plans to be in play for another this fall.

Until then, the Cubs have a 13-game lead in the National League Central and a chance to use Lackey’s vacated spot to peer into the futures market with their rotation.

That’s where left-hander Mike Montgomery comes into focus – especially after an impressive performance in his first start as a Cub on Saturday night during a 9-2 victory over the Rockies in Colorado.

“I really think he could be a fine major league starter,” manager Joe Maddon said. “Not just OK: really good.”

On a tight pitch limit Saturday, Montgomery pitched well enough to take a no-hitter and 7-0 lead into the

fifth inning and earn the chance to keep going.

After he retired the first batter of the fifth, Nick Hundley hit Montgomery’s 60th pitch over the wall, and Maddon pulled him.

Coming off a 37-pitch relief outing, Montgomery stretched as far as the Cubs could have hoped and exceeded expectations with the five-strikeout performance at hitter-friendly Coors Field.

He’ll take Lackey’s Mike turn again Friday in Montgomery Los Angeles as the Cubs continue to evaluate him for a possible rotation role next season.

So much for team president Theo Epstein’s comparison to Indians bullpen stud Andrew Miller when the Cubs acquired Montgomery in a trade from Seattle last month.

“We’ve all been watching this very closely,” Maddon said of the second-year big leaguer with 19 career starts. “In a couple of relief outings he threw the ball pretty well. But the more

and just his whole confidence level has gotten greater.

Chicago Colorado “He could play very big for us (as ab r h bi ab r h bi a starter),” said Maddon, whose club Fowler cf 4 2 2 0 Dahl cf 3 0 1 0 Bryant 3b 5 2 2 4 LMahieu 2b 3 0 0 1 has no big rotation arms in the farm Rizzo 1b 5 1 2 0 Arenado 3b 4 0 0 0 Zobrist 2b-rf 5 3 3 2 Ca.Gnzl rf 4 0 0 0 system on the near horizon.

For empty nesters, seniors and others who find themselves moving into a smaller space, downsizing can feel emotionally and physically overwhelming. But careful planning and perspective can make it easier.

It helps to keep your eyes on the prize, experts say.

Envision how great it will feel to be unburdened by excess and achieve your goal of living happily with less, in a smaller but comfortable space, said Stephanie Sisco, home editor for Real Simple magazine.

For seniors, it helps to think of the process as a way to put things in order now so the burden of sorting through everything doesn’t fall to your family later.

For families, downsizing is a great chance to teach kids organizational skills, she said.

“Kids might not be able to help much in the garage or kitchen, but they are experts on their own toys, and know which things they care about and which can go,” Sisco said.

Five suggestions to make downsizing easier:

1. Don’t guess, calculate

Measure your new space to determine exactly what will fit (and what won’t), and precisely where each piece of furniture should go. Draw a floor chart onto graph paper so each square represents a foot, with furniture pieces cut out from Post-Its and placed appropriately on the grid. Or use one of many available apps that accomplish the same task, generally in greater detail.

“I use the Sweet Home 3-D app, but there are many other apps out there,” said Diana Zagariello, owner and director of Caring Transitions of Long Island, based in Merrick, New York. Caring Transitions, which helps seniors downsize, has 170 offices across the country.

“It’s important to know exactly what will go where so you can make the most of the muscle available to you on moving day and aren’t stuck rearranging heavy furniture in a small space after the movers have gone home,” she said.

When helping seniors move, she said, get them and everything they’ll be taking with them moved into the new space first. Going through the rest of their things can be too physically and emotionally overwhelming for many seniors, and is often more efficiently accomplished once they have moved out.

2. Prepare, prepare, prepare

Start paring down by making a list of every-

thing you don’t love or need so you can start selling or giving it away. Add to your list as you sift through your things, Sisco said. Identify appropriate charities.

“Before you start a big purge, it’s good to know where you want to donate your items like books, clothes and furniture. Do a little research, and that way you have a plan to quickly get rid of things as you go,” Sisco said.

Make sure you have plenty of boxes, Sharpies, zippered plastic bags and other materials for quickly packing. Once you get going, you won’t want to lose momentum because you don’t have enough of the right boxes, she said.

In addition, said Zagariello, “Make a nice long list of who to contact about your change of address, what services need to be disconnected or transferred, where you want to donate things or to whom you want to give them. Everything.”

3. Take on your belongings

Begin the process of discarding your possessions by tackling the least sentimental first, so you don’t get bogged down, Sisco said. Start with the laundry room or pantry, for instance, and work your way up to things such as photos or mementos, the toughest things to get rid of.

As bestselling author Marie Kondo writes in the “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” (Ten Speed Press, 2014), it helps to tackle things

methodically, keeping only what you truly love or need.

4. Enlist help, and remember to breathe

“It really helps having someone by your side, helping you stay focused,” Sisco said. It could be someone from a moving company, a professional re-locator, a friend, a neighbor or family member, Sisco said.

It’s important to have support making the many decisions that come up before, during and after a move.

Give yourself a 5- or 10-minute break every 45 minutes or so, Sisco said.

And if it’s all too much, hire a relocating expert to do part or all of the job. In many cases, estate sales can help cover the cost of their services.

5. Make it quick

Resettle as quickly as possible to keep your new, smaller home from feeling cluttered.

“You want to get all the boxes unpacked and out the door, and everything in place in a matter of days. Otherwise boxes can linger unpacked for far too long,” Zagariello said.

“If you’ve done things right in the planning stages, the resettling part should be pretty quick and easy, and the quicker you finish up the better.”

At first, maybe you thought buying things in plastic was

a good thing because it could be recycled. But in actuality, while a lot of plastic is being collected for recycling, what is being recycled is very low.

There just isn’t a big market for recycled plastic. So instead, when you can, choose products that don’t include

plastic, have lesser amounts, and better yet, none at all.

Choose products made from natural materials such as wood, metal, paper and cotton.

For bottled drinks, refuse Styrofoam and consider aluminum, which can be recycled

over and over again. There is a good market for recycled aluminum. Need more? Recycling one aluminum can save enough energy to run a TV for three hours.

CHOP SHOP

Fundraiser planned at Abiding Spirit Center

Students practice aikido at Abiding Spirit Center in Crystal Lake.

Funds raised allow CL dojo to provide services to those in need

By SARAH STRZALKA

editorial@nwherald.com

CRYSTAL LAKE – For nearly 14 years, Lisa Tomoleoni lived in Japan training and teaching aikido before bringing the modern martial art back with her to the Crystal Lake area.

Her ultimate goal is to be able to offer her holistic teachings and offerings for free – but there’s still rent to pay.

The Abiding Spirit Center dojo will host its annual Chop ’til You Drop fundraiser at 10:30 a.m. Aug. 27.

Similar to a walk- or dance-athon, participants will do their best to “chop” 2,500 times with a wooden sword, seeking pledges per chop or for a flat dollar amount.

The goal is to raise $10,000 for the nonprofit, where no one is turned away from receiving services due to an inability to pay.

“Fees for our services vary depending on what it is, but we have never ever turned anybody away based on a financial thing,” Tomoleoni said. “And we never will.”

It wouldn’t be right, she said.

“The worst thing in the world we could say is, ‘We’ve got something special that can help you, but you don’t have any money? Then we can’t help you.’ ” Tomoleoni said.

Tomoleoni trained under the grandson of aikido’s founder and said she is one of the highest trained people in the Midwest. Many would call aikido a martial art, but it’s more than that, Tomoleoni said.

“It’s a nonviolent means of conflict resolution, but above and beyond that it’s a means of empowering people,

mentally and emotionally,” she said. “You’re learning through training to become more self-assured, more selfaware, more self-centered and grounded.”

Pamela Gerloff found a comfortable community connection while practicing aikido at the Abiding Spirit Center.

“For me, what I like about it is to be able to respond to an opponent with peace and harmony, and even love,” Gerloff said. “I think that connection gives you a way to shift everything so that both you and the opponent are protected and safe.”

Sarah Matchen of Lake in the Hills has followed Abiding Spirit through two other buildings until the center moved into its current location earlier this year. She first tried acupuncture because she had won a gift certificate from a raffle.

She since also has participated in yoga and meditation workshops.

“I’ve noticed a lot of changes in my overall health and wellness,” Matchen said. “One thing that was probably the most surprising is that after I was going for a while, I started noticing I wasn’t getting multiple sinus infections every winter.”

She finds acupuncture great for stress relief and makes it a point to stop in before things such as traveling for work to get an immunity boost.

“I’ve always been into more what they call ‘alternative medicine’ or natural ways to heal your body and create health and wellness within yourself,” Matchen said. “I would say they’re just different ways for you to get yourself better.”

CHOP ’TIL YOU DROP WHEN: 10:30 a.m. Aug. 27 WHERE: Abiding Spirit Center, 829 Virginia Road, Crystal Lake COST & INFO: Students will “chop” 2,500 times with a wooden sword.

Funds raised go toward providing services at reduced or no cost. Information: www.abidingspiritcenter.org.

Taking a confusing tour under the big top I want to give you a virtual tour of a place called “the squirrel cage.”

The squirrel cage is slang for the mind of an alcoholic or addict, which also can be called (one of my favorites) the “Tinkertoy factory” or “the big top.” I think you get the idea.

It’s a place that goes around and around endlessly, doesn’t fit together very well, is poorly constructed and has strange elements doing entertaining things, with calliope music playing in the background. This is not a place where sound decisions get made and is a place of great danger for those suffering from the disease of addiction. A wise person once told me, “If you have to go in there, don’t go alone. Always take a friend.”

We start our tour with the main act in Ring One, called self-righteous anger. In this ring, we have all

manner of debris, mostly justification, dishonesty, self-delusion and manipulation. The thought process goes something like this, “I know I drink a little too much and I’m bad.

I know I’m bad but she’s worse. She caused this crisis in the first place.”

The following thought goes, “I’m not really that bad. I can stop drinking whenever I want. I mean, nobody else thinks I’m that bad. I’m actually a really nice guy if you get to know me.” The next thought goes, “Since I’m not that bad and it’s not my fault anyway, any help I might get would be wasted; it wouldn’t work anyway since I’m not sufficiently broken to warrant fixing. Although I would give it my all, I think I’ll leave space in AA for those who really need it.”

Ring Two under the big top is the entitlement ring. In this area, we keep all the thoughts that start with,

he thinks. On the other hand, “I know I can manage them. I know I can usher them out of the ring any time I want; at least I think I can. I wonder if I can. I guess I can. Yeah, I can.”

Are you confused yet? You should be, because the person whose squirrel cage we’re in is confused as well, and the confusion is the disease spinning the cage wheel, throwing extra nuts to the squirrel, inviting 10 untamed tigers into the ring or tinkering with the wobbly Tinkertoy structure.

“If you loved me, you’d be more (fill in the blank),” subtle forms of, “After all I’ve done for you,” and a few bursts of, “Life would be so much better if you’d only ….” And when none of these bear fruit, a plaintive reminder of how good it used to be, all with the subtitle, “You owe me big-time.”

We also find in this ring the baitand-switch thinking. The thinking and its associated behavior goes from helpless and sorrowful – “I’m no good” – to angry and belligerent – “How dare you accuse me?”

In Ring Three, all the bad memories collect in an area called denial.

Denial is like the lion tamer who is applying the whip to some very dangerous animals. At any moment, those animals – fear, remorse and shame – might rear up and take a big bite. “We must keep them sedated,”

Breastfeeding creates a healthier, smarter and more equal world ‘THE SENECA LADIES LITERARY SOCIETY – LEARNING AND LAUGHING TOGETHER SINCE 1855’ WHEN: 2 p.m. Aug. 28 WHERE: McHenry County Historical Museum, 6422 Main St., Union COST & INFO: The Seneca Ladies Literary Society will present its new book on the group’s history. Cost: Free with museum admission. Information: www.gothistory.org.

Society presents book on its 161-year history NORTHWEST HERALD UNION – McHenry County’s Seneca Ladies Literary Society will present its new book on the history of the group at 2 p.m. Aug. 28 at the McHenry County Historical Museum, 6422 Main St. in Union.

The special presentation, free with museum admission, will share stories from “The Seneca Ladies Literary Society – Learning and Laughing Together Since 1855.” Begun in 1855 in Seneca Township as part of a nationwide effort in 1853 to save George Washington’s estate, Mount Vernon, in Virginia, the society is the oldest women’s literary group in America.

“What I didn’t realize is how many different activities they did and what vehicles for creative expression there were,” society president Pam Gerloff said in a news release. “They would write these elaborate and interesting minutes, filling them with humor and commentary. They would give members an assignment to do a creative story or essay, write skits and debate on different topics. It wasn’t just reading. It was this whole array of personal expression.”

The society has hit some bumps along the way. In 1872, what came to be known as the “One Great Quarrel” occurred. Some wanted membership

to be restricted to the social elite, while others believed that would not support the purpose of the society.

Five prominent members ended up withdrawing to form their own organization, which no longer exists Those who stayed made an explicit commitment the society would be an egalitarian group, available by invitation to all women in the township independent of social status. After the sewing of a rally flag for James Buchanan’s presidential campaign in 1856, the society passed a rule never to discuss politics.

They continued to be bound together by one over-arching goal: quenching their thirst for knowledge and expanding their horizons.

Since there were no public libraries in the early days of the organization, the Seneca Ladies decided to start their own. The first library book list contained more than 400 titles. By 1895, the list included 560 books, with many titles crossed off, indicating those had been sold to borrowers who wanted to keep them.

“Working on this book gave me a much deeper appreciation for these women,” Gerloff said. “They had a wide-angle view on the world. … They had so much pluck. They didn’t have all the opportunities that women do now, but they just the took the bull by the horns [and got things done].”

How can we all play a part in making our world healthier, smarter and more equal? Support breastfeeding! August is National Breastfeeding Month, and the world observed World Breastfeeding Week on Aug. 1-7.

There is a reason why virtually every country around the world observes World Breastfeeding Week every year: Breastfeeding is one of the most effective and cost-effective ways to save and improve the lives of children everywhere, leading to lifelong health benefits for infants and their mothers.

Breastfeeding decreases the risk of health issues, including childhood asthma and obesity. It can reduce the chance of diabetes and heart disease later in life. A longer duration of breastfeeding protects mother’s health by reducing the risk of breast and ovarian cancers.

Breastfeeding is an essential part of a healthy early childhood; supporting both physical and cognitive development. It is associated with higher cognitive ability, increased I.Q. scores and better learning and reading ability, which can lead to increased productivity and earnings later in life.

A recent article in The Lancet concluded improving breastfeeding

practices makes the world healthier, smarter and more equal. The evidence breastfeeding benefits women and children, as well as communities and societies, has never been stronger, but breastfeeding rates have remained stagnant for the past 20 years. Too many children are missing out on this tremendous boost to their health and well-being. Too many women are not receiving the information and support they need to breastfeed successfully.

The McHenry County Department of Health WIC Program works with the community in increasing awareness of the importance of breastfeeding. The WIC Peer Counselor Program offers mothers an accessible, supportive and trained breastfeeding contact person to call with questions or concerns.

All of us can promote breastfeeding by encouraging and supporting laws and practices that support breastfeeding and mothers and children. For information, call the McHenry County Department of Health WIC lactation staff at 815-3344505.

By LINDSAY WEBER

editorial@nwherald.com A writer’s desk is a far cry from a patient’s bedside, but for author Elizabeth Berg, those same healing hands have tapped out truth and fiction.

“It wasn’t a turning away from one thing to another,” said Berg of her leaving the nursing field after 10 years. “I believe writers are born, not made. I always wrote; letters first.

Then I journaled in high school. I always did that – wrote. It never even occurred to me that I could actually ‘be’ a writer.”

With dreams of becoming a poet as a child, Berg, now having penned 26 books, is slated as the next speaker for the Raue Center’s Artful Women series on Aug. 28. The series started in 2013 to explore current issues in a format that will enrich, inspire, educate and entertain the community. The New York Times best-selling author will share personal stories, take questions from the audience and disclose the inspiration behind her novels, which she said often have a common theme.

“When you’ve written long enough, you see that there’s a common theme in your work,” Berg said.

“I like a mix of humor and pathos. A search for home is often there, quite literally sometimes, and sometimes it’s more subtle. Love, loss and longing are big ones, too.”

Berg said she loves being a writer, but her nursing days are always close by.

“I do kind of miss it,” Berg said.

“It’s not the kind of thing where I would give up writing and go back, but I have used the skills from nursing school all of my life. None of it was wasted.”

The proof is in Berg’s novels, ranging from essay collections like her latest, “Make Someone Happy: Favorite Postings,” to the historical novel, “The Dream Lover,” about author Aurore Dudevant, who took the pen name George Sand.

With an array of published works under her belt, Berg attributes her success to sticking to the basics.

“Writers write,” Berg said. “The more you read and write, the better you get. It’s really church and state.

If you let the marketing come into the creative part, you’ll really mess it up.

Take risks and see what’s inside you.

Never try to copy other writers, and never try to have a formula. It has to come from your heart and soul.”

Cost: $15 at www.rauecenter.org, 815-356-9212 or at the box office. to paper, or nowadays rather, fingers to keyboard, Berg also encourages more than just wannabe writers to stay thirsty for books.

“The world of literature is so rich and so enriching. The value is inestimable of what reading does for you,” Berg said. “As we continue to become a society of tweets, shorter and shorter messages, there’s great value in the contemplation and reflection that comes from reading a long body of work. I’m all about championing

reading.”

Berg admits the truth often is stranger than fiction, but there is more fun to be had with leaving readers guessing.

“Oftentimes someone will write something, and those that read it will express disbelief,” Berg said. “In terms of what’s on the page and wanting to have the belief of the reader, it doesn’t matter.

“It has to be made believable on the page.”

Author Spotlight SUZANNE CAMPBELL Hometown: Woodstock (Born in Berkeley, California, which I like to think affected my brain.)

Latest Book: “By Force of Felicity” Publisher: Bungalowbiblia Release Date: March 11, 2016 What’s your book about?

When quirky, anxiety-ridden Althea’s little world is shattered, she faces aging on her own without friends, family or work. Enter Lilybanks, a landmark bungalow on the other side of her northern Illinois university town, where a “spiritual sisterhood” takes her under its eccentric wings. Eckhart Tolle’s popular teachings are portrayed with a light touch as put into practice by the highly resistant Althea. Two subplots are woven through Althea’s search for “felicity”: a love affair between Lilybanks’ first owner and its architect in the 1910s, and a vintage, feel-good tale about “bungalow cats.”

Where did the idea come from?

The central narrative comes from my own delight in and struggles with Eckhart Tolle’s teachings. I’ve been interested in “the perennial philosophy” since reading Aldous Huxley’s book by that name in college. Eckhart Tolle’s books offer a clear, first-hand account of what you might call practical mysticism.

What genre is your book, and why were you drawn to it?

Literary fiction, by far my favorite. I was the kid sitting at home reading Dostoevsky while everyone else was at the football game. I’m an introvert, and while I like a good plot, I mostly look for what makes characters’ inner workings tick. And I like detailed, “Venusian” description – colors, scents, the play of light and shadow.

These find a natural home in the literary genre.

Who is the intended audience?

Literary fiction fans who want food for thought, appreciate a dry sense of humor and enjoy a longish, busy novel: “By Force of Felicity” has two subplots. Book groups (there are discussion questions), Arts and Crafts design enthusiasts, animal lovers and the green at heart. And, of course, people practicing or intrigued by Eckhart Tolle’s “power of now.”

Why is this story important to you?

Our beleaguered planet needs more humans who can live peacefully with themselves and others. I hope readers who relate to the story and characters will feel strengthened in their efforts to do so.

How long did it take you to write? What was your process?

It took about four years. I’d sit at an old bird’s-eye maple desk from my grandparents’ Woodstock bungalow. I wrote the first draft out by hand. I tend to ruminate, looking for just the right word, and seldom had much more than a page in a sitting. But sometimes an entire scene just spilled out.

What did you enjoy most about writing this book? What was the hardest part?

I love the sense of creating a world. And I especially enjoyed writing the subplot that takes place in the 1910s and ’20s. It seemed to have a mind of its own; the characters knew who they were and needed less control and planning from me. The hardest part was sitting down to write when not in the mood.

How are you publishing this book and why (traditional/indie/self-publishing)?

I self-published with Lulu using my own imprint, Bungalowbiblia. At 145,000 words my book’s considered too long for a marketable “debut” novel. I didn’t want to prune it drastically, or pay someone more than I could afford just to make it more formulaic. Plus, if you publish traditionally, you’re still stuck with much of the marketing and may have to wait longer for your book to come out. I love my cover, and I had lots more control over it by self-publishing.

What is your education/background?

My dad was a wildlife biologist; I grew up loving and learning all about nature. I majored in Celtic Studies at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia, went on to Glasgow University in Scotland, but ended up with a practical Bachelor of Arts in journalism from University of Wisconsin – Madison. A few years of writing ad copy in cubicles sent me fleeing to a series of vivid odd jobs in San Francisco, then France. When I returned to Chicago to regroup, I met my hus-

band, became a stay-at-home mom and moved to Woodstock.

“BY FORCE OF FELICITY”

How/why did you decide to write a book?

After my third-grade teacher praised the stories I wrote, I always thought I’d be a writer. Yet decades went by without my producing a novel.

I decided I didn’t want to turn 50 without having written one. Now I’ve written two, and this is the first to be published.

INFO: Website: www. bungalowbiblia.wordpress.com Amazon Author Page: www.amazon.com/ Suzanne-Campbell/e/ B01DJC8BW4/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1

Who are your favorite authors?

A.S. Byatt, William Maxwell, Rebecca West.

And Proust.

Pick one: Ebooks or hard/paperbacks?

Hard/paperbacks. I’m an old-fashioned bookworm.

Have you written anything else?

My unpublished first novel, “Miching Mallecho,” also is set in a bungalow.

What’s next for you?

I want to polish up my first novel and add it to Bungalowbiblia’s offerings.
