Woodstock to consider Route 47 crosswalks

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Crosswalks at Route 47 intersections could make traveling the road safer for pedestrians, but grant opportunities are scarce for such projects.

The city’s transportation commission wants council members to consider constructing crosswalks at certain intersections along Route 47, beginning with a $167,372 project at the mid block of Route 47 and Calhoun Street, near Jewel-Osco. The proposal also suggests crosswalks at Judd Street, County Club Avenue and Lake Avenue, with total costs climbing past a half-million dollars.

“We’ve had a couple accidents on Route 47 involving pedestrians,” said Public Works Director Jeff Van Landuyt, staff liaison for the transportation commission. “It’s just not real safe.”

In the past year, four pedestrians have been hit by cars on Route 47 in Woodstock, according

Route 47 sees Woodstock’s heaviest traffic.

There are a lot of homes and apartments in the area as well, so many residents will try to cross to get to the stores and restaurants on the other side, Woodstock Deputy Chief Jeffrey Parsons said.

“I think (the crosswalks) will provide safer access to those residents utilizing the businesses,” he said. “Anything we can do to provide safer transport for residents that have to cross a very busy street, the better off we are.”

Route 47 is a state road and the city will work with the Illinois Department of Transportation to hammer out details, requirements and funding.

CINCINNATI – The Twitter accounts of an Ohio zoo targeted by online critics and trolls over the shooting of a gorilla have been taken down.

The Cincinnati Zoo has said it’s not amused by the memes, online petitions and signs about Harambe, a 17-year-old great ape killed in May by a special zoo response team after a 3-year-old boy got into his enclosure. Harambe has been mourned, memorialized and satirized nearly continuously since his death.

Those seeking the Twitter sites Tuesday of the zoo or its director, Thane Maynard, got messages saying, “Sorry, that page doesn’t exist!”

A zoo spokeswoman confirmed without comment Tuesday that it has deactivated its accounts.

Downsizing family of 4 moving into custom-built 196-square-foot home

By SAMANTHA MOORE smoore@shawmedia.com

CRYSTAL LAKE – While downsizing is not unheard of, for Brent Hollenberg and his family, their next home is a significant size reduction.

The new place of residence consists of 196 square feet and will house Hollenberg, his pregnant wife, Megan; their two sons, Channing, 3, and Terran, 1; and their dog, Lulu.

“I thought my wife would think I was crazy, but she was on board,” Hollenberg said.

Although there exists no formal numerical definition as to what constitutes a tiny house, typically structures

under 500 square feet bear the name.

Hollenberg said a major benefit of living in a tiny house is the reduction in time required to maintain it. With less time invested in upkeep, Hollenberg said his family will be able to spend more time together.

“Obviously we’re going to be closer, and there’s always going to be situations and issues in any size house you live in, but you really have to deal with them straight on,” Hollenberg said.

While the couple purchased the home’s trailer last December, Hollenberg estimates construction commenced at the end of March. The tiny house currently stands, but is expected to be completed in September after

the addition of items including counter tops and plumbing.

For Hollenberg, the owner of Reclaimed in Crystal Lake, construction of the house granted the opportunity to incorporate techniques from his business to use reclaimed materials such as wood and metal. Strategic thinking also was used to condense all necessities into the tiny house.

“Every spot has its own function. So that’s the fun part, figuring out what that is,” Hollenberg said.

A look into the Hollenbergs new home reveals amenities including a tankless water heater, a three-way refrigerator and freezer, an LP gas stove, a 36-by-36-inch rain shower, a compost-

“It’s crazy because I sell 15-foot dining room tables, but my house is only 26 feet,” Hollenberg said.

A McHenry County Board committee approved an expedited process by which to comply with the court order to demolish the “house of horrors” at 2811 Myang Ave. in rural McHenry.

County begins process to demolish ‘house of horrors’ Derelict home likely unoccupied since child molester’s 2013 arrest KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – McHenry County government staff will expedite the process by which to comply with a court order to demolish a derelict rural McHenry residence once home to a man convicted of sex crimes.

The County Board Planning and Development Committee on Tuesday morning green-lighted a plan by county staff to submit the ultimate winning bid to demolish the 2811 Myang Ave. home, and the emergency budget appropriation to pay for it, into one resolution. The one resolution still would have to go through the Planning and Development and Finance and Audit committees before the full County Board approves it.

The home, formerly occupied by Jack Leo Smith, likely has been unoccupied since his 2010 arrest for sexually assaulting young girls in the mid-1990s, and has not been maintained since his 2013 sentencing to 24 years in prison. The home was called the “house of horrors” by the assistant state’s attorney who prosecuted him.

McHenry County Judge Michael Caldwell last Thursday granted the demolition order requested by the State’s Attorney’s Office, and said the defendants were in default for failing to appear or answer to any of the proceedings on the matter. The county building inspection officer testified that inspectors deemed the house too dangerous even to enter, and looked in from the outside.

The county and neighbors have want-

An appellate court ruled last year that the house could not be demolished because the county failed to prove that repairing it would not be cost-effective, and failed to notify all of the property’s owners.

County staff testified this time around that the foundation of the 1959 home was the only salvageable part, and that the cost to repair the home would exceed its value.

The Planning and Development Committee plans to look into creating a streamlined system, and a dedicated budget line, to demolishing derelict homes because it now has to deal with it several times a year, said committee Chairwoman Carolyn Schofield, R-Crystal Lake.

Police Sgt. L.J. Marak dies after long battle with cancer

By NORTHWEST HERALD

HUNTLEY – Former Huntley Sgt. L.J. Marak has died at the age of 40 after a battle with cancer, according to the Huntley Police Department.

Marak was diagnosed with a soft-tissue cancer called synovial sarcoma in 2014 and his family found out the illness was terminal about a year later.

Marak is survived by his wife, Kim, and three boys, Sammy, Ben and Leo. The family has received a ton of support from a GoFundMe page that has raised more than $75,000 to date. The

Huntley Police Department and the Huntley Fire Department were also planning to donate the majority of their proceeds from the fire department’s eighth anL.J. Marak nual golf outing Aug. 30 to the Marak family.

Marak joined the Huntley Police Department in 2002 as a patrol officer and was eventually appointed to sergeant in 2010, Huntley Police Detective Theo Kallantzes said. In July 2016, Marak left his position at the police depart-

ment to go on permanent disability.

The Huntley Police Department posted a message on their Facebook page about Marak’s death. Part of the message read: “LJ will be remembered as a great police officer, a tremendous leader, a key part of our team, a friend to many, and most importantly an incredibly devoted family man. His loss will be felt in virtually every corner of our community. His family can be very proud of his career and all that he has accomplished throughout his 14 year tenure with the Huntley Police Department.”

McHenry County state’s attorney candidates talk office budget cuts Patrick Kenneally says he plans to cut budget by tenth in first term

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Republican state’s attorney candidate Patrick Kenneally has plans to cut the office’s budget 10 percent by the end of the first term if he is elected in November.

Kenneally’s plans include reducing the need for out-of-county office training, eliminating outside counsel for labor law cases, cutting the number of county-owned cars used by the office, as well as aiding the office in going paperless.

Democratic candidate and Woodstock DUI lawyer Ray Flavin said Kenneally’s goal to cut the budget by 10 percent won’t be possible without cutting personnel. The office’s budget is roughly $3 million, with a sizable portion of that coming from staff salary, Flavin said.

Flavin was selected by the Democrat-

Vehicle Donation Program

ic Party in July to run for the position after labor attorney James Harrison dropped out to take care of his ailing mother.

Flavin said his budget plans would include Patrick a staff reduction of 10 Kenneally attorneys and 10 administrative staff positions.

He said this is possible because of a decreased caseload.

“There’s more staff and less work to do,” Flavin said.

Flavin said that while cutting the budget is necessary, any cuts made won’t drastically affect community members’ property taxes. He said Ray Flavin that portion of the budget only costs taxpayers about $9 per year.

Kenneally said he does plan to eliminate positions, and can do so without affecting the ability to effectively prosecute, because crime has gone down across the county. He said he would eliminate two criminal attorney posi-

tions, one investigator and two administrative staff positions.

Every attorney in Illinois is required to complete 30 hours of continued legal education credits every two years. Currently, the state’s attorney’s office pays to send attorneys to training across the state, and sometimes, the country, Kenneally said.

Instead of sending attorneys out to complete the necessary training, Kenneally said he would require all office lawyers to join and participate in the McHenry County Bar Association and take part in its training.

“This will not only save taxpayers money, it will go a long way toward building on collegiality and relationships the office has with the local defense bar,” he said.

Kenneally said he also plans to cut the number of vehicles in use and costs by more than half. The state’s attorney’s office currently has eight county cars, and gas and maintenance cost the county more than $25,000.

Cars should only be used for investigators during an investigation or when serving a subpoena, Kenneally said. All other unused cars would be returned to the county for sale or reassignment.

New school year offers new adventure for kids CL Police to crack down on VIEWS Joan drunken driving Oliver

When I was growing up, the “Choose Your Own Adventure” book series was one of my favorites.

Those of us who were the target audience in the series’ heyday in the 1980s and 1990s might remember that each book made the reader the protagonist. The reader could be a racecar driver, a doctor, a spy or any number of other characters.

These days, these sorts of titles are considered gamebooks, and the “Choose Your Own Adventure” series is being put out by a new publisher.

Yet the concept remains the same.

Every few pages or so, the reader is confronted with a choice or a series of choices. One option refers the reader to a specific page. Another option goes to a different page to continue the adventure. Sometimes a choice will move the reader forward in the book, and sometimes it will take her back a few pages.

The fun of the series for me was that some of the choices led to bad outcomes, while others led to happy endings.

In a lot of ways, it was just like life, full of choices and random outcomes.

In a lot of ways, it was also like a new school year. Since school has started for a lot of our area’s chil-

dren, it got me thinking about that old book series.

The beauty of being a kid, although perhaps many don’t realize this, is that children get to start a new adventure each and every school year. And the outcomes aren’t even remotely predetermined. How many adults can say that?

Of course, unlike a gamebook where the outcomes sometimes aren’t obvious, school life gives a few more clues as to whether a path is good or bad. For instance, choosing not to do one’s homework might not have dire consequences the first or second time. But keep making that choice, and then real trouble begins.

On the other hand, consistently working hard and keeping up with assignments might not always be the “fun” thing, but in the end it leads to a better outcome. Sometimes it even comes with rewards, such as good grades, class parties and praise from one’s parents. My parents even would get me a gift at the end of the school year if my grades were good.

Other choices our young adventurers face on their school journeys include deciding which activities to get involved in, the friends they will spend time with and even the classes they will take. A lot of times there are no clear “right” and “wrong” answers, but the outcomes that each choice yields can be vastly different.

That’s where parents and teachers and trusted advisers can come into play. They can help our young ones make better choices to avoid bad outcomes.

All a reader had in a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book was to maybe look ahead and see whether a choice looked like the one to follow.

Then again, one might consider that “cheating.” The good news is that in real life, we rarely have to go it alone.

Still, a new school year really is a new adventure, full of excitement and promise. Or at least it should be.

Then again, as in many things, the choice is up to you.

Happy new school year!

Labor Day enforcement campaign begins this week NORTHWEST HERALD CRYSTAL LAKE – This week, the Crystal Lake police department and departments throughout Illinois will implement roadside safety checks and put more patrol vehicles on the road to enforce seat-belt use and watch for drunken drivers.

The department announced this week in a news release the beginning of the Labor Day “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign in partnership with the Illinois Department of Transportation. The campaign will run until Sept. 5.

Officials recommend designating a driver or using the free SaferRide phone app, which identifies your location and allows you to call a taxi or preselected contacts.

There will be zero tolerance for impaired driving and seat-belt violations, according to the department.

Performance-enhancing products no substitute for exercise, healthy diet If your teen is looking for an easy way to change her performance or appearance without working out, she might be tempted to take a pill, supplement, or energy food or drink. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) discourages teens from using these types of “performanceenhancing substances” because they can do more harm than good.

There are thousands of nutritional and dietary supplements being sold today, ranging from vitamins and minerals, to herbs and amino acids. However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not test the safety or effectiveness of supplements before they are placed on the market. Performance-enhancing substances include legal products sold in your local pharmacy and illegal drugs like steroids and growth hormones. The legal forms include protein powders and shakes, vitamins, pills and energy products.

These supplements used to appeal mainly to athletes, but nonathletes also are being lured by false claims that these products build muscles, burn energy and help with weight loss. Teens using legal performance-enhancing substances are more likely to try illegal substances.

In addition, the products also may have ingredients that will cause problems when taken at the same time as prescriptions and over-thecounter medications. For example, the amount of caffeine in energy supplements is not regulated like it is in soft drinks and coffee drinks.

Supplements may contain an unhealthy amount that can cause jitters or nervousness, especially if taken with a stimulant prescription for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Although some products may seem perfectly healthy, they could include ingredients not listed on the label like anabolic steroids, heavy metals and stimulants. They are not tested for safety like prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications.

The biggest gains in performance do not come from pills or shakes for teenage athletes, but from strength training and maturity, according to the AAP. A months-long strength regimen can lead to a 30 percent improvement for young athletes. This is more effective than using a performance-enhancing substance.

Parents should encourage athletes to focus on hard work, pushing limits, teamwork and respect. Parents should give importance to eating a healthy and balanced diet. They also should discuss the negative effects of performance-enhancing substances.

The AAP urges parents to monitor their child’s use of supplements or shakes. Side effects include increased hair growth and acne, rapid changes in body shape, voice changes, particularly in girls, and aggressive behavior and mood swings.

The Big Switch—Saving to Spending

A Complicated Balancing Act

Generating a retirement income requires you to balance a variety of elements, many of them beyond your control, such as inflation, stock market volatility, interest rate trends and your and your spouse’s expected longevity. Too conservative in your investments and you risk having inflation strip you of purchasing power. Too aggressive and you risk losing your money. Take too much out early in retirement and risk running out of money in your later years. Too stingy with your withdrawals and you might be cheating yourself out of enjoyable experiences. It’s a tough proposition with lots of emotional components.

And that’s often a recipe for disastrous decision making.

10 Ways to Generate Income in Retirement

• TINY HOME

Continued from page A3 Hollenberg said another benefit to residing in a smaller house is the minimal square footage. The cost of using higher-end materials is much cheaper than for a traditional home.

The Hollenbergs plan to live in their new tiny house on and off for the next two to three years, spending a few weeks to a month at a time in the close quarters. Additionally, their home is equipped for travel, minimizing the need to pack for vacations when the home travels along.

“Our long-term plan is to get a plot of land, build a bigger tiny house under 1,000 square feet and put this in the back as a guest suite, or rent it out on Airbnb,” Hollenberg said.

But for the Hollenbergs, downsizing is not a new feat. Over the years, each of their new places of residence has gotten smaller, 1,000 square feet became 850, 850 was compressed to 700, and 700 square feet shrank to 600.

“Every place we moved was a smaller apartment, and we found out we didn’t need all that space. Our life was very simple because we didn’t have all this clutter around,” Hollenberg said.

Now with 196 square feet to inhabit, Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com there appears little room for excess.

Brent Hollenberg of Woodstock walks outside his nearly completed 196-square-foot tiny house on Thursday. Hollenberg owns the “When I’m in here I’m so relieved,” business Reclaimed in Crystal Lake and has used reclaimed woods in his new home. He plans to move into the tiny house with his he said. “I have this feeling of ‘This is it, pregnant wife, two kids and their dog. this is all we have to maintain.’ ”

12 LAKE IN THE HILLS

Former administrator put on administrative leave before resigning News sent to your phone

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – Former Lake in the Hills Village Administrator Gerald Sagona was placed on paid administrative leave before resigning from the position he held for about 20 years, village documents show.

A notice of administrative leave, received by the Northwest Herald through the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, was sent to Sagona from Lake in the Hills Village President Paul Mulcahy on July 26.

“It is a stressful job,” Mulcahy said Tuesday as to why Sagona was put on leave and later decided to resign.

Gerald S a g o n a s a i d i n a Sagona statement Tuesday that he is fortunate to have had Mulcahy and the Lake in the Hills Village Board’s support as he moves into the next chapter of his life.

“I am blessed to have the backing of my family, which will allow me to focus on my health, and the time necessary to achieve my personal professional goals,” Sagona said in the statement. “The Village of Lake in the Hills, and the many friendships I have made, will always be near and dear to

On Aug. 11, Sagona and Mulcahy signed an employment resignation, separation agreement, release and waiver document that was approved by the Lake in the Hills Village Board at its meeting the same day.

Sagona, who had an annual salary of about $160,000, will receive four months of severance pay, according to documents. He also will take in sick and vacation hours accrued throughout his time with the village.

Health, dental, vision and life insurance coverage will continue for Sagona through Dec. 31, according to documents, and he is eligible for continuation coverage after that date.

The village is looking for someone to fill the village administrator position. Applications are due Sept. 16 and can be found at www.lith.org/jobs.

State’s attorney wants perjury claim investigated in Ridulph murder case

By ERIC R. OLSON

eolson@shawmedia.com

and BRETT ROWLAND

browland@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – DeKalb County State’s Attorney Richard Schmack wants a DeKalb County judge to have a special prosecutor investigate whether a Seattle police detective committed perjury, and other possible misconduct in the prosecution of Jack D. McCullough.

In a motion filed Monday in DeKalb County Circuit Court, Schmack said video evidence contradicts statements made both by DeKalb County prosecutors and by Seattle police Detective Irene Lau in pretrial proceedings and McCullough’s September 2012 trial.

“Any prosecution of Detective Lau would almost certainly involve inquiry into the handling of the entire investigation and prosecution of Jack D. McCullough, and such inquiry would clearly involve interviews with past, and perhaps, current employees of the

DeKalb County State’s Attorney’s Office,” Schmack wrote in the request. “… There exists an actual conflict of interest in said office investigating its own conduct, since such an investigation could conceivably lead to wrongdoing by others beyond the allegations against Detective Lau.” Schmack declined to comment further Tuesday, citing his conflict of interest in the case.

McCullough, 76, of Seattle, was arrested by Seattle police in 2011. He was found guilty in September 2012 of the 1957 murder of 7-year-old Sycamore girl Maria Ridulph. McCullough was freed in April of this year, his conviction vacated and the charges against him dismissed after Schmack determined that phone records and FBI documents from 1957 and 1958 proved McCullough was Shaw Media file photo in Rockford and could not have been in Sycamore on Dec. 3, 1957, at the time Jack McCullough (right) attempts to shake the hand of DeKalb County State’s Attorney Maria was abducted from the corner of Richard Schmack (center) on Jan. 14 before DeKalb County Judge William Brady in a Archie Place and Center Cross Street, DeKalb County courtroom in Sycamore. Schmack said he never interviewed or spoke to

McCullough during his review of the case, after which he concluded that McCullough was innocent.

TREATS THAT ARE TOP OF THE CLASS

Richard Schmack

DeKalb County state’s attorney in a motion filed Monday “When people get away with something like this, why would they not do it again?”

She said she wants those responsible for the prosecution to be held accountable.

A Seattle police spokesman confirmed that Lau retired in 2013. The Seattle Times reported that Porter has filed a complaint against her with the Seattle police, which may investigate it as a matter of public integrity. Seattle police said they could not comment further on the situation.

In the filing, Schmack claims that Julie Trevarthen, who at the time was a DeKalb County assistant state’s attorney, told the court Aug. 14, 2012, that there was no video or audio recording of the interview.

The motion concludes with Schmack asking a judge to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the perjury claim, and “any other allegations of misconduct or wrongdoing in connection with the investigation of the kidnapping and murder of Maria Ridulph, and the prosecution of Jack D. McCullough, and to bring charges and prosecute same, if … such criminal charges are warranted.”

Trevarthen didn’t return a phone call or email seeking comment Tuesday.

near her home.

At issue is a 1-hour, 18-minute video recording of an interview McCullough gave with Lau in a polygraph room at a Seattle police station in June 2011. The video was obtained by Casey Porter, McCullough’s son-in-law, according to court documents. Porter said Seattle police provided the video in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.

Porter also said that Lau’s testimony should be considered perjury, Schmack wrote in the motion.

Court transcripts show Lau, a 22year police veteran at the time of the trial, testified that McCullough had described Ridulph as stunningly beautiful, and “lovely, lovely, lovely.” Lau testified that McCullough talked about Maria “as if he was talking about someone he had been deeply, deeply in love with.”

About 9 minutes into the interview, the video recording shows McCullough sounding as if he describes Maria as a “loved little girl,” although the words are somewhat garbled. He also calls her “an adorable little girl,” with “great big brown eyes,” and said that everyone in the neighborhood loved her. He does become somewhat animated when describing her, a point former DeKalb County State’s Attorney Clay Campbell made sure to elicit during trial testimony. At a later point in the interview, he also forcefully denies having abducted Maria, following it by saying, “I loved that little girl, like the whole neighborhood loved that little girl.”

Campbell couldn’t immediately be reached for comment Tuesday.

Janey O’Connor, McCullough’s stepdaughter, said Lau’s testimony and statements didn’t match the video.

“It’s scary,” she said in a phone call from Washington. “[Police officers] are trusted above everyone else.”

She said she wants a special prosecutor to look into the prosecution of her stepfather, including Lau’s testimony.

“I don’t believe this is the first time this has happened,” O’Connor said.

“Any prosecution of [Seattle Police] Detective [Irene] Lau would almost certainly involve inquiry into the handling of the entire investigation and prosecution of Jack D. McCullough, and such inquiry would clearly involve interviews with past, and perhaps, current employees of the DeKalb County State’s Attorney’s Office.”

Born: Dec. 5, 1936; in Chicago, IL Died: Aug. 22, 2016; in McHenry, IL Alyce Joyce Shay, age 79, of McHenry, passed away Monday, Aug. 22, 2016, at Centegra Hospital of McHenry. She was born Dec. 5, 1936, in Chicago to Mitchell and Charlotte (Wijacki) Bykowski.

Formerly of Chicago, Alyce moved to the McHenry area with her parents in the early 1950s. On Oct. 4, 1958, Alyce married the love of her life, John J. Shay, at St. Mary’s Church.

In her lifetime, Alyce was known for being a talented and accomplished musician who specialized in keyboard instruments. In 1955, she graduated from the Wilkins School of Music and went on to open the Alyce Joyce Music Studio in 1957, teaching numerous students her love of the organ, until its closing in 2009. Alyce was also a spokesperson for Lyon & Healy of Chicago.

She and her late husband, John, enjoyed living on the river in McHenry for almost 20 years and held annual Fiesta Days afterparties that will not soon be forgotten. Alyce remained a faithful member of the Church of Holy Apostles, where she was the church organist, and she was the founder of the prayer line for the church. Alyce and John also hosted the yearly blessing of the boats on the Fox River.

Among a deep admiration for animals, especially dogs, another one of Alyce’s great loves was motherhood. She adored raising her sons and watching them thrive, and this was only amplified when she became a grandmother and great-grandmother. She will be remembered by everyone who knew her as a loving mother, talented teacher, great neighbor and friend to all.

Alyce is survived by her sons, Kevin Shay and Darren (Debby) Shay; her grandchildren, Ryan (Kristina) Shay and Scott (Terri) Shay; most recently, her great-grandchildren, Harper and Madison; and her siblings, Ronald (Linda) Bykowski and James (Sherry) Bykowski.

Rauner signs bill to punish trafficking guns

By IVAN MORENO

The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Firearm traffickers in Illinois will be punished with sentences of up to 30 years in prison under legislation Gov. Bruce Rauner signed Tuesday, a move aimed at curbing Chicago’s rampant gun violence.

The new law seeks to address a problem that has vexed prosecutors in recent years: criminals skirting Illinois’ strict gun policies by purchasing firearms in other states where little screening is required. Investigators say more than half of the firearms recovered in Illinois crime scenes are traced back to other states.

There have been more than 442 homicides in Chicago so far in 2016 and the vast majority involve firearms, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.

There were 468 homicides in all of 2015.

Under the new law, a first conviction for trafficking guns will carry a sentence of four to 20 years in prison. A subsequent offense will be punishable by up to 30 years.

“There’s never been a major focus on

News from across the state Anti-abortion activists file suit over Chicago ‘bubble zone’

CHICAGO – Anti-abortion activists filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday challenging the constitutionality of a Chicago ordinance that stops protesters from getting within 8 feet of people entering health care facilities without their consent.

The activists argue that the ordinance – which is similar to a Colorado law upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court – is vague, confusing and violates their free speech rights with its 8-foot “bubble zone” around people who are within 50 feet of clinic entrances. The buffer zones around hospitals and clinics have become “vast anti-speech zones,” according to the lawsuit.

More than a dozen cities and several states enforce similar zones around clinics with the aim of protecting abortion seekers from intimidation. A 1994 federal law – enacted in response to bombings, arson and violent protests directed at abortion providers – prohibits blocking access to abortion clinics.

who arms the shooter,” said Rep. Jim Durkin, the House Republican leader and a sponsor of the bill. Now, he said, “they’re going to be held accountable and they’re going to be sentenced in a very strong fashion.”

In a statement, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel called the law “a step in the right direction.”

The proposal drew opposition from the American Civil Liberties Union in Illinois, which argued the sentences are too severe and that there is already a federal law on the issue.

But Brandon Nemec, an assistant state’s attorney in Cook County, said the federal law applies only when someone actually transfers a firearm to someone prohibited from possessing one. The new law will allow prosecutors to charge people whom investigators found had “the intent to deliver.”

Durkin said prosecutors can only charge traffickers now for being a felon in possession of a firearm or for not having a gun permit.

“That doesn’t get the job done,” he said. Currently, those offenders can get as little as a year in jail, and as much as

14 years, depending on their criminal history.

Nearly 60 percent of the firearms used in crimes in Chicago were bought in other states, according to a 2014 report from the mayor’s office, which blamed “weaker gun laws” in those places. About 20 percent came from Indiana, where no permit is required to buy firearms and private sellers don’t have to conduct background checks.

Every state in the country supplied at least one gun that was used in a crime in Chicago, the report found. Indiana is the largest supplier, followed by Mississippi and Wisconsin, which are responsible for 6.7 percent and 3.6 percent, respectively.

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

“All of our communities are at risk of gun violence. We in Illinois are suffering,” Rauner, a Republican, said before signing the bill in Chicago. “Our children are at risk, innocent people at risk.”

The Chicago complaint, filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago, outlines the claims of two anti-abortion groups and four “sidewalk counselors” who want to hand out literature to women seeking abortions.

They allege that Chicago police selectively enforce the ordinance, applying it only to them and not to volunteer escorts who walk with patients and, according to the lawsuit, take away anti-abortion literature patients accept from protesters.

The sidewalk counselors, according to the lawsuit, are peaceful and want to “express their deeply held religious convictions on a matter of great public concern, indeed, a matter of life and death.”

Chicago’s ordinance is similar to a Colorado law that the U.S. Supreme Court upheld in 2000. The law includes an 8-foot no-approach bubble zone within 100 feet of a clinic door.

Chicago’s law “is almost identical to a statute the Supreme Court has already upheld, except that our buffer zone is half the size,” Chicago Law Department spokesman Bill McCaffrey said in an email.

“The city will vigorously defend against this suit.” But attorneys for the anti-abortion activists say the U.S. Supreme Court in 2014 struck down a Massachusetts 35-foot buffer zone law, effectively overruling its earlier decision.

Abortion-rights activists said buffer-zone laws protect women.

Chicago girl shot while attending vigil for boy shot earlier

CHICAGO – An 8-year-old Chicago girl was shot in the arm as she attended a vigil for a 14-year-old boy who had been fatally shot earlier.

Police said third-grader Jamia Barnes was shot Sunday on the city’s West Side during a vigil for Malik Causey, a friend of her brother who was fatally shot earlier Sunday. Jamia said she felt her arm stinging and she called for her mother when the bullet hit her.

Chicago police said no one is in custody.

Police said a 40-year-old woman was shot in the hand in the same vigil.

Clinton Foundation donors got face time with her at State

By STEPHEN BRAUN and EILEEN SULLIVAN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – More than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state gave money – either personally or through companies or groups – to the Clinton Foundation. It’s an extraordinary proportion, indicating her possible ethics challenges if elected president.

Donors who were granted time with Clinton included an internationally known economist who asked for her help as the Bangladesh government pressured him to resign from a nonprofit bank he ran; a Wall Street executive who sought Clinton’s help with a visa problem; and Estee Lauder executives who were listed as meeting with Clinton while her department worked with the firm’s corporate charity to counter gender-based violence in South Africa.

They are among at least 85 of 154 people with private interests who either met or had phone conversations scheduled with Clinton and also gave to her family’s charities, according to a review of State Department calendars released so far to The Associated Press. Combined, the 85 donors contributed as much as $156 million.

The 154 does not include U.S. federal employees or foreign government representatives.

The AP’s findings represent the first systematic effort to calculate the scope of the intersecting interests of Clinton foundation donors and people who met personally with Clinton or spoke to her by phone about their needs.

The meetings between the Democratic presidential nominee and foundation donors do not appear to violate legal agreements Clinton and former President Bill Clinton signed before she joined the State Department in 2009. But the frequency of the overlaps shows the intermingling of access and donations, and fuels perceptions that giving the foundation money was a price of admission for face time with Clinton.

Her calendars and emails released as recently as this week describe scores of contacts she and her top aides had with foundation donors.

Clinton’s campaign said the AP analysis was flawed because it did not include in its calculations meetings with foreign diplomats or U.S. government officials, and the meetings AP examined covered only the first half of Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state.

“It is outrageous to misrepresent Secretary Clinton’s basis for meeting with these individuals,” spokesman Brian Fallon said. He called it “a distorted portrayal of how often she crossed paths with individuals connected to charitable donations to the Clinton Foundation.”

State Department officials have said they are not aware of any agency actions influenced by the Clinton Foundation. State Department spokesman Mark Toner said Tuesday night that there are no prohibitions against agency contacts with “political campaigns, nonprofits

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks Aug. 16 in Philadelphia. or foundations – including the Clinton Foundation.” He added that “meeting requests, recommendations and proposals come to the department through a variety of channels, both formal and informal.”

Donald Trump’s vice presidential candidate, Mike Pence, said Tuesday that the overlaps identified by AP were “further evidence of the pay-to-play politics at her State Department” and called for a special prosecutor to investigate.

Last week, the Clinton Foundation moved to head off ethics concerns about future donations by announcing changes planned if she is elected. Those planned changes would not affect more than 6,000 donors who have already provided the Clinton charity with more than $2 billion in funding since its creation in 2000.

“There’s a lot of potential conflicts and a lot of potential problems,” said Douglas White, an expert on nonprofits at Columbia University.

“The point is, she can’t just walk away from these 6,000 donors.”

Fallon said earlier Tuesday that the standard set by the Clinton Foundation’s ethics restrictions was “unprecedented, even if it may never satisfy some critics.”

Muhammad Yunus, a Bangladeshi economist who won the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize for pioneering low-interest “microcredit” for poor business owners, met with Clinton three times and talked with her by phone during a period when Bangladeshi government authorities investigated his oversight of a nonprofit bank and ultimately pressured him to resign from the bank’s board. Throughout the process, he pleaded for help in messages routed to Clinton, and she ordered aides to find ways to assist him.

Grameen America, the bank’s nonprofit U.S. flagship, which Yunus chairs, has given between $100,000 and $250,000 to the foundation – a figure that bank spokeswoman Becky Asch said reflects the institution’s annual fees to attend CGI meetings. Another Grameen arm chaired by Yunus, Grameen Research, has donated between $25,000 and $50,000.

Trump aides fought freeing of Ukraine prisoner The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – For more than three years, lobbyist Jim Slattery worked in Washington to secure the release in Ukraine of the imprisoned political rival of the country’s then-president. He said the work was sometimes harder than expected.

“I had a sense that there were people working on the other side,” he said, “but they were doing it pretty secretively.”

Slattery’s hunch was right. His unknown Jim Slattery opponent: The consulting firm run by Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, and his deputy Rick Gates, now the campaign’s liaison to the Republican National Committee.

Manafort resigned last week, shortly after disclosures by The Associated Press about his firm’s covert lobbying on behalf of Ukraine’s pro-Russian government at the time.

The U.S. Foreign Agents Registration Act requires people working on behalf of foreign political leaders to disclose their efforts to the Justice Department, but neither Manafort and

Gates nor U.S. lobbyists they directed did. Working on the other side, Slattery filled out the required paperwork describing contacts with Congress and State Department officials including specific phone calls and emails and the topics of their discussions.

“I damn sure didn’t want to get in trouble violating foreign agent laws,” said Slattery, a former Democratic congressman from Kansas.

Manafort and Gates were working for Ukraine’s Party of Regions but said they did not represent Ukrainian political interests in the U.S. But emails and insider accounts obtained by the AP showed Manafort’s firm directed a multimillion-dollar lobbying effort between 2012 and 2014 that appeared to undercut public support for imprisoned Yulia Tymoshenko, who was considered a political prisoner by U.S. and European governments.

In the emails, Gates showed familiarity with U.S. lobbying rules and how mandatory disclosure reports could be used to gather intelligence on Slattery. In May 2014, as Slattery was lobbying on Tymoshenko’s behalf, Gates directed Mercury LLC to monitor Slattery’s federal filings. In particular, Gates wanted to know the address of Slattery’s client and any in-

formation that could be gathered in the U.S. to complement similar digging in Ukraine.

Mercury and another Washington lobbying firm, the Podesta Group Inc., were working on behalf of the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine. The AP identified at least $2.2 million in payments to the firms. The nonprofit said it was independent, but documents released last week by anti-corruption investigators in Ukraine have tied the group to Ukrainian political figures.

The Podesta Group last week hired outside lawyers to investigate its role in the lobbying campaign and threatened to sue the European Centre. The Podesta Group has acknowledged the firm’s work with Gates but said it did not know Gates worked for Ukrainian political interests. An attorney for Mercury said it will also review the work.

The head of Mercury, Vin Weber, said his firm’s efforts were not intended to justify Tymoshenko’s imprisonment but to make the case that furor over her prosecution had obscured broader issues about Ukraine’s relationship with the West. But a Mercury employee who worked on the project told the AP the firm overtly

Strong quake rattles central Italy: ‘The town isn’t here’ The ASSOCIATED PRESS ROME – A magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck central Italy early Wednesday, leveling buildings in several towns as residents slept. The mayor of hard-hit Amatrice said: “The town isn’t here anymore.”

The quake struck just after 3:30 a.m. and was felt across a broad section of central Italy, including the capital Rome where people in homes in the historic center felt a long swaying followed by aftershocks. First images of damage showed debris in the street and some collapsed buildings in towns and villages that dot much of the Umbrian countryside.

The European Mediterranean Seismological Center put the magnitude at 6.1. The U.S. Geological Survey put the

magnitude at 6.2 with the epicenter at Norcia, about 105 miles northwest of Rome, and with a relatively shallow depth of six miles. The hardest-hit towns were reported as Amatrice, Accumoli and Norcia.

The mayor of Amatrice near Rieti, Sergio Pirozzi, told state-run RAI radio and Sky TG24 that residents were buried under collapsed buildings, that the lights had gone out and that heavy equipment was needed to clear streets covered with debris.

“The town isn’t here anymore,” he said.

In 2009, a 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck in the same region and killed more than 300 people. The earlier earthquake struck L’Aquila in central Italy, about 55 miles south of the latest quake.

opposed Tymoshenko’s release. This person spoke on condition of anonymity because employees are restricted from speaking publicly under signed, non-disclosure agreements.

“Everyone knew this was a shadow organization working for the greater good of the Party of Regions,” the employee said.

The employee said U.S. lawmakers objected to Mercury’s overtures and wanted Tymoshenko out of jail.

Slattery, the lobbyist, volunteered as an election monitor during Ukraine’s 2004 elections. He said he was impressed by protests against election fraud known as the Orange Revolution that peacefully played out in the frigid streets of Kiev. The family of Tymoshenko, who was prime minister from 2007 to 2010, asked for help when she was jailed following an election defeat in 2010.

When he learned about the covert lobbying campaign that opposed him, Slattery said that he was disappointed but not surprised. He said he hopes the U.S. government will look more closely at whether such behavior violated federal laws.

“You don’t want to be the only person in town complying with the law,” he said.

ZACHARY, La. – Standing amid piles of waterlogged debris, President Barack Obama on Tuesday promised a sustained national effort to rebuild flood-ravaged southern Louisiana “even after the TV cameras leave” on a visit aimed in part at stemming campaign-season criticism that he’s been slow to respond to the disaster.

As he toured a battered neighborhood and spoke to local officials, Obama tried to buck up beleaguered residents of the water-soaked region.

“This is not a one-off, this is not a photo-op issue. I need all Americans to stay focused on this,” he said. “I know how resilient the people of Louisiana are, and I know that you will rebuild again.”

Eleven years after Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans, Obama’s visit was a reminder of the political dangers and opportunities natural disasters pose for politicians. The president has been criticized for waiting until after he returned from his New England vacation to tour the Gulf Coast flooding.

The timing, amid a heated presidential campaign, drew barbs from some local officials and Republicans political op-

veyed the piles of discarded mattresses, broken appliances and heaps of clothing that line the curbs of her street. The college administrator says she’s staying with family while she cleans up, working late into the night in stifling humidity. Going door to door and trailed by cameras, Obama offered sympathy to residents as they took a break from the cleanup.

“I wish I was coming at a better time,” he told one resident, as he put his arm around her and walked into her home for a brief tour. “But I’m glad to see everybody is safe, at least.”

Obama is hardly new to the potent politics such moments.

As a candidate in 2008, he was a sharp critic of President George W. Bush’s response to Hurricane Katrina. And in 2012, the year of his re-election effort, he rushed to Louisiana to show solidarity with victims of Hurricane Isaac.

Now a president eying the end of his second term, Obama was neither emotional nor particularly defensive in relaying his message to residents. He said flatly he doesn’t “worry too much about politics” and that he is focused on improving the speed and efficiency of the federal response.

Pence on ending media blacklist While a representative in Congress, Mike Pence championed the effort to pass a federal shield law to protect journalists from being forced to reveal their sources.

Earlier this year, Gov. Mike Pence vetoed House Bill 1022, a misleading bill involving police records at private universities in Indiana that supporters claimed would have improved transparency, but would have in reality done the opposite.

But it’s in his current role, as the running mate of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, that Pence may face the biggest challenge to his espoused belief that “the only check on government power in real time is a free and independent press.”

That’s because Trump, who enjoyed expansive press coverage throughout his unprecedented successful primary campaign, is now waging war on what he calls the “disgusting and corrupt media,” blaming them for plummeting poll numbers.

The Trump campaign also has denied press credentials to a number of media outlets, including The Washington Post, The National Review, the Daily Beast, Politico, Buzzfeed, The Des Moines Register and The Huffington Post. On Friday, at a rally in Connecticut, he wondered aloud whether he should withdraw the media credentials for New York Times journalists. His comments were in response to a Times piece examining recent campaign missteps by the real estate mogul.

Earlier this year, he mused about opening up libel laws so he could sue news outlets that publish stories he deems are wrong.

So how does all that square with Pence, who as a congressman introduced the Free Flow of Information Act of 2011?

It certainly sounds like the Indiana governor is trying to change Trump’s mind on the subject.

Appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” Pence hinted at a sense of frustration over the candidate’s media blacklist. When host Chris Wallace asked about his efforts to get the campaign to give press credentials to media outlets that have criticized Trump, he replied, “We’ll keep our private conversations private, but that’s an ongoing discussion in the campaign. And I’ll – I do believe in the public’s right to know, whether it’s about these latest allegations about Hillary Clinton or otherwise, and we’ll continue that – we’ll continue to advance that principle.”

We hope he succeeds. And we suggest he tell his running mate what he told conservative colleagues who years ago wondered about his advocacy for a free and open press: “This isn’t about protecting reporters. It’s about protecting the public’s right to know.”

The real reason drugs cost us more

Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump and three-fourths of their fellow Americans say prescription drugs cost too much. They’re right, and the two candidates even agree on a couple of good strategies to try to keep prices down: Allow Medicare to negotiate on behalf of its 40 million beneficiaries and let Americans buy drugs from countries where quality is well-monitored.

Yet neither of these strategies addresses head-on the No. 1 reason drug spending is rising so much. The main culprit, according to research from Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, is the government grants extraordinarily long periods of market exclusivity for new drugs.

The Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Patent Office together give new drugs monopoly rights that last anywhere from eight and a half to 15-plus

years. This helps explain why brand-name drugs account for 72 percent of drug spending in the U.S. even though they represent only 10 percent of prescriptions.

Since 2008, prices for the most commonly used branded drugs have risen 164 percent – far faster than other medical costs.

The U.S. spends more than twice what other industrialized countries spend on drugs.

The problem would not be nearly so severe if the drugs’ government-granted monopolies were shorter. Once generic versions are allowed to compete, a medicine’s price often drops by almost half, sometimes more than 85 percent, if enough competitors jump into the market.

Yet the government tends to do the opposite, the Brigham and Women’s researchers found, by extending market exclusivity via additional patents for trivial alterations – a new coating on a pill, for example. This is nonsen-

sical: Unless a drug is transformed in a way that affects its therapeutic value, it should not qualify for an extended patent.

Drug makers often stretch their own market exclusivity by paying generics companies to delay introducing competitive medicines.

The government, which is protecting these companies’ monopoly rights, should demand an end to this tactic. Federal drug regulators also should require that manufacturers disclose the prices they negotiate with their various customers – including all the rebates and discounts they allow. Not only would this help all private payers negotiate lower prices, it would create a more healthy marketplace.

Yes, it makes sense to grant a company an exclusive license to sell a new medicine. But it’s also important to know exactly how valuable that medicine is.

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.

Shame on Marengo High School

To the Editor: As a parent of a Marengo Community High School student, I am deeply disturbed by the new school policy that requires students to have to state the specific reason they need to leave the classroom to use the restroom and be escorted by staff there and back.

The students started a petition on the second day only to be told they would not be heard. This kind of policy would not stand in any workplace and in no way supports these youth in becoming adults. Shame on any school adopting such a policy.

When a judge sends someone to prison, the goal should be not just to punish them for their crimes, but to ensure when they are released they become productive members of society.

Making sure an inmate is financially wiped out upon release isn’t the way to do that.

Back in 1982, the Illinois General Assembly passed the measure to try to milk every dime from anyone incarcerated.

It hasn’t exactly been a financial windfall for the state. Over a 10-year period, Illinois has collected about $50,000 a year from inmates, said State Rep. Kelly Cassidy, D-Chicago.

It was a gutless, ill-timed move on the part of our state’s chief executive.

“This is a wasteful program. You can’t convince me we aren’t spending more just on staff time than we are actually collecting,” said Cassidy, who is the bill’s sponsor. “The governor ran on a platform of eliminating wasteful programs and reforming the criminal justice system. This bill does both of those things, and yet he vetoed it.”

In his veto message, the governor said, “Violent offenders with significant assets should compensate their victims and the State. For example, the State used this power to stop serial killer John Wayne Gacy from profiting while in prison.”

That’s a perplexing argument considering there already is a law on the books to keep criminals from financially benefiting from their crimes.

But in the rare instance where someone enters prison with significant assets, wouldn’t it be better if the victim of the crime isn’t com-

peting with the state in suing the inmate?

So what is the real reason Rauner vetoed this measure? The best reason I can come up with can be explained in two words: attack ads.

It appears the governor fears being called “soft on crime” by whomever his opponent is in two years.

“Soft on crime” is a moniker no self-respecting politician wants and one both Republicans and Democrats throw at their opponents with abandon.

“It is time for a détente. We are never going to make any progress on criminal justice reform if everyone is afraid of being attacked,” Cassidy said.

She couldn’t be more right.

But don’t expect a truce in Springfield anytime soon.

In Illinois politics, the merciful will be shown anything but mercy.

To the Editor: I would like to give a “shout out” to farmer John Barton of Marengo for his continued generosity to feeding the hungry in McHenry County. Farmer John consistently has set aside part of his crop of corn to be donated to local foodbanks. Every nonprofit is encouraged to establish “community support,” and without being asked, John is exactly the kind of community support we all dream of. It is the generosity of people like John which defines good citizen and good neighbor, and he should be thanked and respected by one and all.

Back in the days when I used to cover criminal courts in Texas, a prosecutor friend of mine had a standard summation: “These are halls of justice, not halls of mercy.”

He’d then ask for the maximum penalty for the offense to be leveled against the defendant.

As time has passed, I’ve come to the conclusion justice ought to be tempered with mercy.

In fact, mercy can make for good public policy.

A good case in point is this ridiculous notion of suing inmates to make them pay for their cost of incarceration.

The law has been on the books since 1982 and has not resulted in the state taking in much money. But it has prevented already struggling individuals from getting back on their feet once released from prison.

Let’s face it, almost all the folks who go to prison are poor, and the handful who aren’t the state seems determined to make broke before

BUSINESS Some vacation spots benefit as travelers avoid Zika

By SCOTT MAYEROWITZ The Associated Press

NEW YORK – With government officials now warning pregnant women to avoid Miami Beach in addition to Puerto Rico, some sun seekers are desperately scrambling for a Zika-free vacation.

And that has left other tourist destinations to capitalize – quietly.

Travel experts said families worried about Zika are now looking to Arizona and Southern California to get some sun, along with cooler weather locales, such as New England and Canada.

The Zika virus is transmitted by mosquitoes or through sex with an infected person. In pregnant women, a Zika infection can cause severe birth defects, including microcephaly, where babies are born with a dangerously small head. In others, it can lead to Guillain-Barre, which can cause temporary paralysis and in rare instances, death.

That was the case earlier this month of a man between 35 and 45 years old who died in Puerto Rico after being infected.

Given that background, many would-be vacationers don’t want to take the risk.

Jen LeFante and her husband, Chris, are expecting their first child in March. The New Jersey couple had wanted to escape to Puerto Rico or the Florida Keys for some relaxation before the baby arrives.

“But it seems like every travel destination we picked is on the Zika list,” she said.

Instead, they are doing a number of smaller, driving trips including ones to

The lights of cars blur along Las Vegas Boulevard in Las Vegas. Zika fears are leading some to book away from the Caribbean and Florida. On a recent earnings call, a resort official said that Las Vegas was benefiting as vacationers book away from Florida. The American Southwest, New England and Bermuda are providing a virus-free alternative, but destinations are hesitant to market themselves as such. upstate New York and Vermont.

“I’d much rather be on a beach,” LeFante said.

Bermuda has seen several groups move meetings and conventions there from Caribbean islands, said Glenn Jones, director of public and stakeholder relations at the Bermuda Tourism Authority.

“That’s been a welcome and unexpected boost to our business this summer,” Jones said.

However, the island nation off the coast of the Carolinas has been care-

ful about how it handles the situation.

Educating tourists who ask about the absence of Zika is fine, but don’t expect a marketing campaign around it.

“There is a delicate balance there,” Jones said. “We don’t proactively seek to capitalize on this.”

Ingrid Kessler takes a vacation every few years with 10 family members, spanning three generations. This year’s adventure was planned for Riviera Maya in Mexico. But with two members of the group at child-bearing age – and older members with compro-

mised immune systems – that plan was scrapped because of Zika. Canada’s Banff National Park was briefly considered as an alternative, but the group wanted beach time and the chance to go scuba diving. So Bermuda won out.

Such travel shifts worry tourism officials in destinations with Zika.

Miami is the first spot on the U.S. mainland where the virus has been transmitted by mosquito bites. The tourism industry has a lot at risk.

More than 15.5 million people made overnight visits to Miami and nearby beaches in 2015, with an impact of $24.4 billion on the local economy, according to figures from the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Some of that business is likely to go elsewhere.

Visitors’ bureaus in some other destinations either said they didn’t have proof of a Zika connection to their growth or were hesitant to speak about the bump, fearing that they might be perceived as gloating in somebody else’s misery. But clues to the shift have surfaced, including in regulatory filings of publicly traded companies.

James Murren, CEO of MGM Resorts International, said on a recent earnings call that Las Vegas was benefiting as vacationers book away from Florida.

“As sad as that situation is in Florida, I certainly don’t want to benefit from it as a result of that, but I can say that we’re seeing a pickup in air traffic and in driving traffic even in the last couple of months,” Murren said on Aug. 4.

NEW YORK – Jennifer Lawrence is a girl on fire – at least monetarily speaking.

The actress topped Forbes magazine’s list of the world’s highest-paid actresses for the second straight year, banking $46 million thanks to her paycheck for the final “Hunger Games” installment.

Lawrence outearned second-ranked Melissa McCarthy with $33 million and Scarlett Johansson at No. 3 with $25 million. Together, the world’s 10 highest-paid actresses tallied a combined $205 million between June 1, 2015, and June 1, 2016, before fees and taxes.

Federal judge: Famed artist Peter Doig did not create painting CHICAGO – Internationally heralded artist Peter Doig was correct when he insisted that he didn’t paint a landscape work that had been valued at more than $10 million, a federal judge in Chicago said Tuesday.

U.S. District Judge Gary Feinerman made the comment as he began explaining his reasoning in the case as he led up to a verdict. He had not yet formally announced a verdict, but the entire case of the painting’s owner, Robert Fletcher, hinged on his claim that the Scottish-born Doig painted it.

Feinerman said evidence clearly showed that it’s a case of mistaken identity and that a different Peter Doige, who spelled his last name with an ‘e,’ actually created the artwork.

The suit was filed in Chicago because one auctioneer who had expressed interest in selling the painting is based in the city.

Fletcher, a retired prison official from Canada, filed a lawsuit in U.S. court for millions in damages after the painting’s projected sale price tanked after Doig’s disavowal of it.

Fletcher maintained that the painting of a desert landscape, which he paid $100 for in the 1970s, is by Doig. He claimed he bought it while Doig was serving prison time in Canada’s Thunder Bay Correctional Center.

Feinerman, who spoke as the work at the center of the case sat on a courtroom easel to his left, pointed to high school yearbook photos and said that proved Doig was in a Toronto high school when Fletcher said he was painting in a prison where he worked.

“Peter Doig could not have been the author of the work,” the judge said.

Pop star Britney Spears is giving the clothes off her back to raise money for the Red Cross to benefit victims of widespread flooding in her home state of Louisiana.

Spears, who’s from Kentwood, tweeted out links Tuesday to a fundraising site that offers $10 raffle tickets to win an outfit from her upcoming performance on Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards or a trip to New York to see her at the show in person.

More than 115,000 people across south Louisiana have signed up for federal disaster assistance after the catastrophic flooding that began Aug. 12. At least 13 deaths have been attributed to the flooding, and more than 60,000 homes were damaged in the storm.

Seewald was one of “19 Kids and Counting” on the TLC reality show that chronicled the personal life of Arkansas parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. It was pulled from the network last year over revelations that Josh, oldest of the Duggar siblings, had molested four of his sisters and a baby sitter.

Jessa and Ben currently appear in TLC’s “Counting On.” The second season premieres Tuesday.

LOS ANGELES – Joseph Fiennes has been cast in Hulu’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s award-winning novel, “The Handmaid’s Tale.”

Hulu announced Tuesday that Fiennes will play Commander Fred Waterford opposite Elizabeth Moss in the miniseries.

“The Handmaid’s Tale” is a story about dystopian life in the dictatorship of Gilead, where women are treated as property of the state. Moss plays Offred, a woman forced into sexual slavery to help repopulate their community. Fiennes’ character rules the house where Offred is a handmaid.

Sweatworking better for business

By KELLI KENNEDY

The Associated Press

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – For years, business networking has meant after-work drinks or a shared meal. Now, for some, it’s all about grabbing a pair of running shoes and bonding over a fitness class, thanks to sweatworking.

Gyms and fitness studios say they’re seeing an uptick in the number of business clients booking classes with investors or employees, finding workouts offer a chance to connect over a shared challenge in a less buttoned-up environment, potentially making it easier to strike a deal.

Sarah Wragge, 34, a partner at a New York production company that makes TV commercials, takes clients to a dance cardio class where they don’t even talk about business.

“It’s literally just time to develop a relationship and achieve a common goal. ... I find that sweatworking is a much more empowering and collaborative experience,” Wragge said.

Indie Fresh CEO Shom Chowdhury, 42, said he landed his biggest investor after bringing him to a workout at Barry’s Bootcamp in New York. Chowdhury, who founded the healthy meal service, said a workout is a good setup for his products. After class, he gives potential clients or investors one of his protein shakes or sends them home with a meal plan.

“Just from one experience, I noticed that people really got it without me having to talk too much about it,” Chowdhury said.

Some employees say they, too, have used sweatworking to their professional advantage: Andre Lattibeaudiere was working as a financial officer for a South Florida hotel earlier this year when his boss, who is an avid runner, came to town and wanted to find a local running group. Lattibeaudiere, 43, who also is a runner, realized it was a prime opportunity to connect with his boss outside the office and offered to join him at the Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort’s weekly run club.

Lattibeaudiere became a regular at the runs.

Of the 60 to 70 people who typically participate, Lattibeaudiere said he often found himself running with the Westin’s general manager. The two bounced ideas off each other while also pushing each other to run faster. Lattibeaudiere wasn’t looking to change jobs, but was asked to apply for and ultimately hired as the Westin’s finance director.

The runs were like informal interviews, he said.

“It made it very easy for me to apply for the position. ... I met someone that I could potentially be reporting to, and I developed this relationship and I realized we shared a lot of common core values,” said Lattibeaudiere, who was hired in June.

Both mega gym chains and boutique studios said they’ve seen increases in sweatworking. Some are drawn to the competition and extreme workout classes with timed events or partner exercises such as relay races. Others prefer yoga or relaxation classes.

“It’s like ... me-time [for] whoever you bring with you, a potential client, and then afterward they’re much more ready to talk to you because you’ve done something special for them, for their body, for their

psyche. ... Whatever’s coming next they’re usually within the moment, they’re much more receptive,” said Donna Cyrus, a senior vice president at Crunch.

Wragge said sweatworking helped her land clients in the beauty world – a segment that previously had eluded her.

“These are fashionable women. They don’t have a lot of time. They tend to be a little bit more regimented about their diet and exercise. After trying and trying to connect with them over lunch, I sug-

gested a SoulCycle class, and sure enough one client turns into five clients turns into 15 clients.”

Chowdhury, who also pays for employees to work out with him every Friday, said he was so impressed by an employee who worked out with him he ultimately promoted her.

“It makes the leaders and the team members have an equal platform ... rather than just my boss tells me to do xyz, and it becomes a very hierarchal relationship,” he said. “The classes allow you to sweat together, train together, mess up together.”

EpiPen maker Mylan has become the new boogeyman of the pharmaceutical industry.

Following complaints from consumers the company had hiked the price of the emergency auto-injector by $100 in recent months for no obvious reason, members of Congress are calling for an investigation. The prescription-only device, which delivers a rapid shot of epinephrine, a medication that can counteract a severe allergic reaction, is standard issue for millions of Americans. Many school systems stockpile it, and any parent who has a child with a peanut allergy usually has several stashed at their homes and in various purses and backpacks.

The medication itself isn’t expensive. Analysts calculate the dosage contained in a single pen is worth about $1. It’s the company’s proprietary pen injector that makes up the bulk of the cost. A few years ago, it looked like there might be something better out there – Sanofi’s Auvi-Q which talks to you and walks you through how to administer the product in real-time – but the company got caught up in a recall about whether its devices actually were

matter.

Among the members of Congress who have weighed in this time are Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who wrote in a letter that the cost is so high it has forced “some first responders to consider making their own kits with epinephrine vials and syringes.”

“I am concerned that the substantial price increase could limit access to a much-needed medication. In addition, it could create an unsafe situation for patients as people, untrained in medical procedures, are incentivized to make their own kits from raw materials,” he said.

Separately, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minnesota, has called on the Federal Trade Commission to look into the company’s competitive practices. Sen.

Lead levels in drinking water vary Dear Dr. K: Like a lot of people, I was shocked by the water disaster in Flint, Michigan. I felt terrible for those people.

But then I started to wonder: How safe is my drinking water? Should I be worried?

Dear Reader: The sad answer to your question is I don’t know, and neither may your local department of public health.

Until a little more than a hundred years ago, the world’s lead virtually was all buried in the ground, where nature put it.

Then it was extracted from the earth and added to gasoline and paint, and turned into pipes, solder for pipes and plumbing fixtures. Automobiles put lead into the air. Paint peeling from walls was tasted by toddlers and, because lead tastes sweet, was tasted again. And lead appeared in the drinking water.

Governments (although not most citizens) have known about this problem since the turn of the 20th century. However, only in recent decades has any action been taken. Lead now is banned in gasoline and paint. The Clean Water Act of 1972 and the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 have reduced, but not eliminated, lead in U.S. drinking water.

As a result, lead in our environment has been reduced. In addition, the number of children with toxic levels of lead in their blood has dropped. That’s the good news.

The bad news is there still are half a million children in the United States with high blood levels of lead. Every one of those children is at risk for permanent brain damage.

The situation in Flint is unusual. An entirely new water supply was provided to the city. The quality of the water was not rigorously checked. When the new water was found to be leaching lead out of the pipes and into the drinking water, a protective chemical was not added. There

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff are many credible charges, not yet tested in court, local, state and federal government officials did not take action when the problem was brought to their attention.

Yet Flint is far from unique. Lead pollution of the water supply has been found in Newark, New Jersey; Cleveland and Sebring, Ohio; New York City; and Jackson, Mississippi. Recently, the drinking fountains in four schools in Boston were shut down because of high lead levels.

Does this mean other cities can breathe a sigh of relief? Does it mean the rest of Boston’s schools can rest easy? Unfortunately, too often it means the water supply hasn’t been checked thoroughly – so we simply don’t know. That’s because there hasn’t been enough money allocated for public health.

Consider contacting your local department of public health and asking two questions. First: What are the lead levels in my community’s water, and when were they last measured? Second: What percentage of adults and children in my community have unacceptably high blood lead levels?

If the employees there say they don’t know, or if they do know and you don’t like the answers, I’d suggest asking your representatives in the state and federal governments what they think should be done. There are half a million children who deserve an answer.

concept of open marriage? Do you approve?

Disapprove? When Kate invited you into her marriage – which is what she and her husband did – the dynamic of your longtime friendship was changed. If you still felt the same about her, you wouldn’t be writing to me.

If you can get past this, you still can be friends. But on some level your relationship will never be as it was before she crossed that boundary.

Dear Abby: I recently moved in with “Tim,” a man I have been dating for more than a year.

We’re very much in love and plan to be married one day. My problem is he keeps getting phone calls from old girlfriends. This morning someone called, but hung up when I picked up the phone.

Until now, I have trusted Tim completely.

Now I’m afraid perhaps we acted too soon in moving in together.

Tim always has remained friends with all of his girlfriends after their relationships ended.

He says they are nothing more than friends now. I think he should have finalized his previous romances before I moved in. I believe he should take the initiative in contacting these women and ask them to respect our relationship by not calling.

How can I handle this without giving him an ultimatum? – Upset In Seattle Dear Upset: If, after one hang-up, you are questioning Tim’s commitment to you, you’re being unfair. It’s possible the hang-up was a wrong number or a telemarketing call and nothing more.

Ask yourself what it is about a hang-up on the telephone that has made you feel so vulnerable. You knew after you had dated Tim for a while he’s the type of person who maintains friendships after the romance fizzles. Relax.

And remember the person he invited to share the nest and build a future with was you.

My best friend, “Kate,” approached me on a matter I’m uncomfortable with. For the past 12 years we have laughed, cried, consulted on everything we struggle with and shared our joys. Kate has a great marriage. I’m struggling with the decision to remain in mine.

Recently, Kate, her husband and I were on an outing when they mentioned a ménage a trois. It was obvious to me they have done this before. Kate has been my closest friend for years, but I realize now there’s a side to her I never knew.

My resistance to their suggestion seems to have had no effect on her, yet I’m wrestling with my feelings. I’m trying to ignore this and maintain the friendship we had before, but it has been difficult. I wish I had never known, but now that I do, I need help sorting it out. –

Wolves won’t be denied PR puts away Trojans in 3rd set for FVC win

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Prairie Ridge junior Emily Baudin tried to block out the home crowd as best she could.

In a Fox Valley Conference match pitting last year’s division champions against each other, the Wolves and CaryGrove had extra incentive to win on opening night. With no more FVC Fox or FVC Valley divisions, Tuesday’s match would count in the conference standings.

“You had all the fans in the back, but ... we just had to stay focused and block them out at times,” said Baudin, a 5-foot9 outside hitter. “I just try to be aggressive at all times because I’m shorter and I need to find different ways to score.”

After taking the opening set and dropping a back-and-forth second, Baudin stayed true to her word and stayed on the attack, providing the final exclamation point for the Wolves in a 25-20, 26-28, 25-12 FVC win.

Jayden Otto (match-high 31 assists) set the ball crosscourt and Baudin put away the Trojans for good with her team-high 13th kill to gives the Wolves (1-0 overall, 1-0 FVC) an early edge in the conference race.

“It was so important to us because last year they went to state, and it was our turn,” said Baudin, who added 13 digs and four aces. “It’s our turn to beat them.”

Both teams finished undefeated in conference play last season. Prairie Ridge won the unofficial conference championship and its first regional title since 2012, while the Trojans (0-1, 0-1 FVC) advanced all the way to the Class 4A state tournament and placed third.

Prairie Ridge sophomore Sammi Lockwood, playing with a shoulder and back injury, had nine kills and six blocks, junior Genesis Sheridan had seven kills, and junior libero Mackenzie Garis added 11 digs.

The Wolves had a match point slip away from them in a highly contested second set. After C-G tied the set at 26, Kate Selsky provided an ace and Amber Olson set up Becca Elrod for the kill to push the match to three.

Lockwood said the difference in the third set, in which the Wolves went on

Prairie Ridge’s Emily Baudin sets the ball during Tuesday’s match against Cary-Grove in Crystal Lake. Prairie Ridge won, 25-20, 26-28, 25-12. a 15-4 run to close it out, was the rising confidence of her teammates.

“Before when it was so close, I don’t think everybody had the confidence we needed to win,” Lockwood said. “In the third set, we started to pull away and that really gave everybody the confidence to go all out and finish it.”

C-G lost the majority of last year’s starters to graduation, and coach Patty Langanis said she was using Tuesday’s match as an early-season gauge.

“We really just wanted to see how much we match up against a powerhouse like [Prairie Ridge],” Langanis said. “I had no idea how this team was going to perform in a high-pressure match, and I was really pleased to see the young ones stepping in there and get their experience in a big, fast match.”

Heinrich stays close to home, picks MCC NORTHWEST HERALD

McHenry County College’s baseball success caught the attention of one of the area’s top players.

H u n t l e y senior third baseman Jeff Heinrich, a Northwest Herald All-Area first-team selection, announced Jeff Heinrich Tuesday he would attend MCC and play baseball.

“First, it was cost, going to a junior college, I can save a lot of money,” Heinrich said. “It made it easier (for me) that they have a good program and went to the World Series.”

MCC coach Jared Wacker took the Scots to the NJCAA World Series for the first time in

school history last season.

Heinrich (6-foot-1, 185 pounds) hit .461 as Huntley’s leadoff man and helped the Red Raiders to a 25-15 record and their second Class 4A sectional title in school history. He recorded a .537 onbase percentage, drove in 21 runs and was 23 of 25 in stolen-base attempts.

With Heinrich’s speed and power, he received some NCAA Division I interest. Instead he will join former Huntley shortstop Charlie Nugent and current Crystal Lake South pitcher Luke Dunham, a friend and travel teammate since age 9, at MCC. “I think I can make it (to D-I) if I keep working hard,” Heinrich said.

MCC Athletics announced on Twitter: “Love to see top local talent joining the awesome direction our program and dept is going! #scotpride.”

Hornets receive forfeit victory to start season

By SEAN HAMMOND

Three days before the season opener at home Friday night, the Harvard football players learned they might not have a game.

The coaching staff told the players Tuesday that their Week 1 opponent, Chicago Kelvyn Park, did not have enough players to field a team. Harvard is trying to find an opponent for Friday or Saturday, and the team will continue to practice this week as if it has a game.

The IHSA website has been updated to indicate the game against Kelvyn Park has been forfeited to Harvard. The IHSA indicates that Kelvyn Park has forfeited only its first game of the season at this point.

Harvard coach Sean Saylor said Kelvyn Park indicated last week that its turnout for football was low. Saylor said Tuesday an opponent has not yet been found

Causes for concern, but playoffs are safe

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

SAN DIEGO – As anyone who has followed or studied the Cubs for the past century or so knows, this team has an uncanny ability historically to miss its target.

No matter how many All-Stars (eight in 2008), no matter how many future Hall of Famers (five in 1969, counting the manager).

No matter how late the Game 6 lead.

So as this dominating Cub season closes in on October, it’s certainly reasonable to beware of things that go bump in the ninth or to sweat 97-mph setup man Hector Rondon’s triceps injury.

But unlike some previous Cub playoff seasons, this one comes with at least a few guarantees.

No? Nothing’s guaranteed?

Obviously, any number of things can waylay the best-laid plans of any juggernaut.

But rest assured that this list of potential causes for concern are guaranteed to in no way keep the Cubs from reaching their goals this fall:

The Cubs’ Tommy La Stella watches his RBI double against the Milwaukee Brewers on April 28 at Wrigley Field.

The free-agent jewel of the Cubs’ offseason has been a first-year bust at the plate since signing that $184 million deal. But that hasn’t prevented the Cubs from producing the best record in the majors this year with the second-highest run total in the National League, scoring more than five runs per game. But the significant point is Heyward’s already one of the best defensive outfielders in franchise history, transforming the look of a position area that was a weakness last year and helping the Cubs become the best team in baseball by a large margin in turning balls in play into outs. That’s an especially precious commodity in the postseason.

And with Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo driving the lineup at MVP levels, it’s a commodity the Cubs have the luxury to afford.

Tommy La Stella’s absence: With all due respect to the backup infielder’s heady confidence in his abilities and his improved skills as a fielder at second and third, the Cubs can win – and have won – without him. He is a bench player with a good eye, exceptional contact-hitting skills, friendly banter and little else. When he refused for weeks to report to the minors after being optioned during a roster numbers crunch, the sideshow overshadowed his contributions. The Cubs actually have a better winning percentage (.667) without him than with him (.588), and in fact have a losing record in the past 31 he’s played (15-16).

The Mets: The team that swept the Cubs out of the playoffs last year? The team that was in the Cubs’ heads when they went into

New York to play them at midseason? That team doesn’t exist anymore. The Mets are an injury-plagued, .500 team with trouble scoring runs, and their vaunted pitching staff is springing leaks – left-hander Steven Matz going on the DL on Monday with a shoulder injury. Last year’s Game 1 playoff starter against the Cubs, Matt Harvey, already is out of the season with a nerve-related injury.

John Lackey’s shoulder: The big-game veteran who was signed last winter in large part because of his World Series pedigree and age-defying production last season plans to be at full strength when the playoffs start.

But he would not suggest even a vague timeline – much less optimism – when he went on the DL on Friday. Could they use him in the playoffs? Of course. Will they be in dire straits without him? No. That has more to do with the breakout of Kyle Hendricks as an elite performer this season (MLB-leading 2.16 ERA) and the ability of Jason Hammel to sustain his first-half success into the second half for the first time in three seasons.

They’re big reasons the Cubs have by far the top-performing rotation in the majors this year – and figure to stack up three or four deep with a playoff opponent even with Lackey sidelined.

So trust us. Save the hand wringing when it comes to any or all of these four. Nothing can go wrong because of these issues.

Now, if you’re going to start talking about all those other things that go bump in the ninth – not to mention the Giants and Nationals – well, no guarantees there.

Jason Heyward’s presence in the lineup:

CUBS ANALYSIS

to fill the opening in the schedule.

“We’re doing everything within our knowledge to contact people and ask what might still be out there with other teams in the same situation,” Saylor said. “We’re very interested in (scheduling a game), we don’t want to go into Week 2 without a game. That puts us behind.”

Harvard only has four home games on its schedule, and losing this week’s game would drop that down to three, with the home opener Sept. 23 against Marengo. If Harvard cannot schedule a game this week, the Hornets would open the season Sept. 2 at Plano.

Saylor said the team is open to playing Friday or Saturday and isn’t being too picky this late in the week. With the game against Kelvyn Park scheduled to be played at Harvard, the location is not a problem. Finding a team with an opening that can travel to Harvard could pose logistical problems.

CHICAGO – Carlos Rodon was so disgusted with a start earlier in the season he tossed his glove into the stands.

It got worse when he sprained his left wrist slipping on the dugout steps as he rushed out for the national anthem.

After missing almost a month, Rodon is starting to show why he was the third overall pick in the 2014 draft with hopes of joining fellow lefty starters Chris Sale and Jose Quintana atop the White Sox rotation.

Rodon threw 62/3 scoreless innings, Jose Abreu homered for a third straight game and the Sox beat the slumping Philadelphia Phillies, 9-1, Tuesday night.

“It’s building up trying to get to Q and Sale,” Rodon said. “Those guys are very good, top-line starters. Of the lefthanders in the game, they’re probably the two best. I’d love to be like that.”

Rodon (4-8) allowed three hits and has a 1.46 ERA in his past four starts after missing most of July. His fastball was consistently at 96 mph and he even

CB Butler charged, accused of tackling officer

By TOM COYNE

The Associated Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. – A Notre Dame cornerback accused of tackling a police officer and punching him in the side and stomach during an altercation outside a bar was charged Tuesday with felony counts of resisting law enforcement and battery against a public safety official.

Devin Butler was arrested Saturday and released on $1,000 bond, but St. Joseph County Prosecutor Kenneth P. Cotter requested more time to investigate the case and determine what charges were appropriate.

Butler is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday. He couldn’t be reached for comment Tuesday because he has an unlisted phone number. Court records don’t indicate he has hired an attorney.

Butler’s arrest came hours after five other teammates were arrested in Fulton County, about 40 miles south of South Bend. Indiana State Police said a trooper stopped a car for speeding and detected the odor of marijuana and with the help of a drug-sniffing dog, he found the marijuana and a handgun in the car.

Notre Dame cornerback Devin Butler tackles Stanford tight end Dalton Schultz on Nov. 28 in Stanford, Calif. ning back Dexter Williams, linebacker Te’Von Coney, receiver Kevin Stepherson and cornerback Ashton White were charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession. Redfield, Stepherson and

Williams face an additional misdemeanor charge of possession of an unlicensed handgun.

Football coach Brian Kelly announced Sunday that Redfield had been

dismissed from the team and Butler, who already was out until October with a broken foot, had been suspended indefinitely. Kelly said the others faced internal team discipline.

All six remain enrolled in school.

University spokesman Paul Browne issued a statement Tuesday saying: “Students charged criminally are subject to additional sanctions by the university, separately from any imposed by athletic teams or other extracurricular activities.” He previously had said any student arrested on a felony charge also faces dismissal from the university.

A probable cause affidavit states that police were at the bar near campus for another altercation and were walking back to their cars when they saw a woman kick another woman sitting on a curb in the head. Police approached the woman to arrest her for battery when Butler shoved the woman, according to the affidavit.

Officers told Butler to stay back, but he said he began cursing officers as they approached. As officers tried to detain Butler, he pushed one officer and then tackled him and began striking him and pulled off his duty belt, the affidavit says.

LAKE FOREST – Mitch Unrein is finally comfortable. Well, as comfortable as someone can be in the NFL on a two-year contract. That’s the way he describes his state this summer after getting to stay with the Bears, spending OTAs and training camp with the firstteam defensive line.

A two-year deal in San Diego should have provided that, but he was released after two games last season, only to be quickly scooped up by the Bears and his former coach John Fox. “Last year was kind of a tough year for me,” Unrein said after Tuesday’s practice. “I signed a two-year deal out in San Diego; they ended up releasing me; on the same day I get released, I get picked up here. That was kind of a whirlwind of a season.

“Getting thrown into the defense, you don’t have OTAs to ease into learning everything, I was kind of thrown into the fire. It was nice to have that time during OTAs (this year) and everything like that to learn this and get used to it.”

weeks at his parents’ house, balancing training with working a part-time job cleaning sewer lines.

“It was a very humbling job, that’s for sure,” Unrein said.

Of all the roadblocks in his football career that have led to motivation, those six weeks resonate most.

“I called my agent and said, ‘I don’t know how much longer I can sit at home and just wait for a call,’” Unrein recalled. “… When I finally got that call from Denver, that’s when it was like, ‘OK, I’m getting another opportunity and I’m not letting it slip by.’ That’s when it really dawned on me, those six weeks at home. I thought, ‘I don’t want to do this. I want to be playing football.’”

Now in his seventh NFL season, Unrein is as comfortable as ever.

“I’m just starting to really settle into H. Rick Bamman file photo – hbamman@shawmedia.com my role,” he said. “I’m finding out what Bears defensive lineman Mitch Unrein lines up against the Minnesota Vikings on Nov. 1 kind of player I really am and just trying to let those attributes shine.

Floyd returns; Langford, Long, Trevathan still out

Starters Kyle Long, Jeremy Langford, Danny Trevathan and Bryce Callahan all remained on the “did not practice” list, along with Deon Bush, De’Vante Bausby, Kyle Fuller, Derek Keaton, Nick Kwiatkoski, Deonte Thompson and Tony Moeaki.

Lamin Barrow did not finish practice beKyle Long cause of a foot injury.

Jonathan Bullard was excused from practice – he also missed Sunday for personal reasons – but Fox expects the rookie to be available for Saturday’s game against the Chiefs.

Goldman’s improvement: A sto-

ryline to follow throughout the 2016 season will be the impact Eddie Goldman can make in Year 2, something the Bears are expecting. “[Goldman] grew a lot last year as a rookie, and I’ve seen that same growth so far even in the preseason games, albeit in limited play,” Fox said. “He got about 10 plays in the first week and then about 15 last week, so hopefully he’ll get a few more plays, kind of get him in full-game condition, but I like his progress.”

The nose tackle said he feels faster this season because he lost some weight, and he feels more comfortable with the playbook, which should help him get a Year 2 jump.

High expectations for D-line: The defensive line is a revamped group and one that has performed well this summer. Mitch Unrein explains why

there is a lot of potential.

“Akiem Hicks, he’s just been a force in there from the get-go. He’s very energetic, a very physical player, and everyone feeds off that on the D-line,” Unrein said. “Eddie, he had a great rookie year, and I think the sky’s the limit for him this year.

“And then Bullard, you can see on film right away, even during OTAs, how quick he is for being a bigger guy. His get-off and his recognition of different blocks and stuff, he doesn’t look like a rookie is what I’m trying to say. He looks like a three- or fouryear vet out there already. I think he’s going to be great for us throughout the year.

“As long as we can work together, keep on improving every single day, every game, I think we’re going to be tough up front.”

noticeable where it matter most – in the meeting rooms and the film rooms, where it’s recognized by coaches and teammates to the point where the former walk-on and practice squad player is now a leader on the defensive line.

“Mitch, he’s a smart guy,” Eddie Goldman said. “It’s to the point where he could tell me and Akiem (Hicks) our assignments while we’re about to snap the ball. He calls out formations and stuff like that. That’s a good thing to have.”

kfishbain@shawmedia.com LAKE FOREST – The Bears still have an injury list that is far from ideal, but they did get four players back at practice Tuesday in a limited fashion.

Senorise Perry, Cornelius Washington, Ben Braunecker and Leonard Floyd all returned. Floyd had just missed Sunday’s Leonard Floyd session, but Perry and Washington had been out for almost two weeks, while an ankle had kept Braunecker on the sideline since the beginning of camp.

The Bears do have a “little bit of a bug going around,” coach John Fox

NFL NOTES

Brady ready after accident with scissors cuts thumb The ASSOCIATED PRESS FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Tom Brady is ready to play after cutting his right thumb with scissors in a “silly accident” before the Patriots’ preseason game against the Bears last week.

Brady said Tuesday he missed the first two practices this week for personal reasons but that he’s available and ready to play when New England visits Carolina on Friday.

The 39-year-old quarterback has yet to appear in a game this preseason.

He’s got two more games before the start of an NFL-issued four-game regular-season suspension for his role in “Deflategate.”

He hasn’t missed a regular-season start since 2008, when he suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during the season opener.

Brady said the accident with the scissors happened when he was trying to get something out of his cleat. The scissors slipped and cut his thumb, causing him to “let out probably a pretty loud word I wouldn’t repeat in front

of my kids.”

“I’m glad it wasn’t the regular season and I learned from it, so hopefully won’t be operating any more scissors for a while,” Brady said.

Ex-Raiders QB Marinovich arrested: At Irvine, California, former USC and Los Angeles Raiders quarterback Todd Marinovich has been arrested after being found naked with marijuana and possibly methamphetamine in a stranger’s backyard in Southern California.

Irvine Police Cmdr. Mike Hallinan said Monday that Marinovich was ar-

rested Friday night after a call saying a naked man was on a hiking trail near homes. The officers found him in a backyard holding a brown bag containing marijuana and a substance that appeared to be meth, but police are awaiting lab results.

The 47-year-old Marinovich was a star quarterback at USC and the Raiders’ first-round draft pick in 1991, but drug problems drove him from the NFL after two seasons, and he has had repeated run-ins with the law over drugs in the decades since.

Inbee Park (left) holds her gold medal after the final round of the women’s golf event Saturday at the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Fellow South Korean (right) Se Ri Pak holds the U.S. Women’s Open trophy after winning the title July 6, 1998, in Kohler, Wis.

Park, Pak share legacy in S. Korean women’s golf RIO DE JANEIRO – Se Ri Pak could hear the burst of noise from 500 yards away, and it wasn’t hard to figure out what was causing the commotion.

Inbee Park had made one last birdie.

Pak could hear it from the back of the 18th green at Olympic Golf Course.

She was the team leader for South Korea at the Olympics, the player who inspired a nation that has become the most formidable in women’s golf. Park with a gold medal around her neck only affirmed that.

Long ago, in another big moment for women’s golf in South Korea, their roles were reversed.

Park was fast asleep in her apartment outside Seoul when she was jarred awake in the middle of the night. The 9-year-old girl came downstairs to find her parents in front of the TV, cheering wildly as Pak won the 1998 U.S. Women’s Open at Blackwolf Run, a landmark moment for golf in South Korea.

Two days later, Park wrapped her hands around a golf club for the first time.

Ten years later, she was the youngest U.S. Women’s Open champion ever.

That was the first of seven majors for Park, and a big reason why this year she became the youngest player (27) to qualify for the LPGA Hall of Fame. Her

ON THE FRINGE Doug Ferguson most recent major was the Women’s British Open last year to complete the career Grand Slam.

And now she’s an Olympic champion.

“I’ve won majors, but I haven’t won a gold medal,” Park said after her fiveshot victory over Lydia Ko, the No. 1 player in women’s golf. “So this feels very, very special, nothing I want to exchange. ... Being able to receive the gold medal on the golf course was an unforgettable moment.”

She had been coping with a ligament injury in her left thumb that led her to take two months off from the LPGA Tour – including the U.S. Women’s Open and her title defense at the Women’s British Open – to get ready for the Olympics. She wanted to test her thumb in competition, so she played a Korean LPGA event and missed the cut.

All that did was spark chatter that she should give up her spot in Rio to another South Korean, and it created unnecessary confusion and doubt for Park.

She responded with a quiet determination.

“I really wanted to do well this week to show a lot of people that I can still play,” Park said.

But this victory was more than just validation.

An Olympic gold medal, particularly under these circumstances, should allow Park to take her place among the best in LPGA history.

Think about it. She had not faced top competition in two months and had not broken par in any round since April, the last time she even finished a tournament. She wasn’t sure she could play the Olympics amid speculation she might not ever play again, especially after she fulfilled her final requirement in June for the Hall of Fame.

“There was nothing guaranteed because I haven’t played that well this season, and I haven’t really played that many events with the injury,” Park said. “So I had to overcome a lot of obstacles.”

And then over four days in Rio, it was as if she had never left.

She was one shot behind after the first round to Ariya Jutanugarn, the No. 2 player in the world with four victories and a major this year. She had a one-shot lead over Stacy Lewis, her

rival from two years ago. She played in the final group with Ko, another fourtime winner and major champion this year.

None had a chance.

Park kept the ball in play and let her putter to do the rest.

“Inbee Park is the coolest individual,” said Peter Dawson, the former R&A chief who now is president of the International Golf Federation. “And I think she is the best putter in the world, male or female.”

Park wants to start a family, so maybe retirement is closer than she lets on.

She said on a couple of occasions last week that she had no retirement plans.

Then again, how much longer Park plays is no longer relevant.

She already has earned a spot in the same conversation as Pak. There will never be another like Pak, whose legacy goes beyond her five majors and 25 victories on the LPGA Tour. She was the pioneer, whose exploits woke up a little girl in South Korea and inspired greatness.

Just to be alongside her speaks to what Park has achieved.

ON THE COVER Marinated Toy Box Tomatoes, recipe on page 5 Photo by Deb Lindsey for The Washington

By JOE YONAN

The Washington Post It’s so easy to take advantage of summer’s tomato bounty: The triple-S rotation of sandwiches, salads and soups will dispatch the beauties effectively and deliciously. And then there’s pasta.

Even when the weather is so unbearably hot I resist bringing a pot of water to boil, I can’t keep tomatoes separate from noodles for too long; the marriage is too right.

Speed is key. I like my summertime pasta-with-tomatoes dishes to come together in as little time as possible, which cuts down on that boiling-pot steam but also keeps the tomatoes tasting bright and fresh. That’s where angel-hair pasta (capellini) comes in, cooking to tenderness in just a few minutes.

The sauce is little more than ripe tomatoes, chopped and cooked down with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar (just to bring out the best in the fruit). After it thickens – which can happen in as little as 15 minutes or as long as a half-hour, depending on the texture and juiciness of the fruit and the size of your saucepan – you stir in a fistful of chopped basil and a little butter, which pulls it all together.

That capellini comes with another bonus: When you finish cooking it in the sauce, it absorbs some, meaning you get fabulous tomato flavor in every bite.

Use the best tomatoes you can find, ripe and fragrant, and don’t skip the pat of butter, which helps pull everything together.

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 4 to 5 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more as needed Pinch freshly ground black pepper 2 pounds ripe red tomatoes, stemmed, hulled and chopped (about 5 cups), including their juices 1 teaspoon sugar, plus more as needed 1 pound dried capellini (angel-hair pasta) 1/2 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped, plus a few small whole leaves for optional garnish 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (may substitute non-dairy butter) Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the garlic (to taste), salt and pepper; cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but not burned, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If you burn the garlic, use a slotted spoon to scoop it out of the oil and proceed; if you leave it in, it will ruin the

sauce.) Add the tomatoes and their juices and the sugar; cook until reduced and thickened, 15 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, depending on the juiciness of the tomatoes. Taste, and add more salt and/or sugar, as needed.

While the sauce is cooking, prepare the pasta: Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the pasta and cook until just under-done, about 1 minute before the cooking time recommended in the package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Return the pasta to its (now empty) pot.

Check on your sauce. If you like it chunky, leave it as is. Or pulse it a few times using an immersion (stick) blender, to make it smoother.

Stir in the chopped basil and butter.

Pour into the cooked capellini; use tongs to in-

corporate it and coat the pasta. Let the capellini finish cooking in the sauce over medium heat until just tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Taste, and add a little more salt, as needed. If the sauce has become too thick, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of the reserved pasta cooking water at a time until you like the consistency.

Serve right away, garnished with a few basil leaves, if desired.

to make the most of tomato harvest 3 servings

For the pickled onion 1/2 medium red onion, cut in half and then into thin half-moons (julienne) 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar 1/4 cup water 1 tablespoon granulated sugar Pinch kosher salt 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns For the herb Dijon mayonnaise 1 cup plain Just Mayo (may substitute another plant-based mayonnaise) 1½ tablespoons Dijon mustard 1½ teaspoons capers, rinsed and drained 1/2 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh dill 1/4 to 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 to 4 lemons) Kosher salt, as needed For the sandwiches 3 brioche hamburger buns, toasted 1 large beefsteak tomato, peeled Kosher salt, as needed Freshly ground black pepper, as needed Extra-virgin olive oil Flesh of 1 fairly firm avocado, cut into thin slices Alfalfa sprouts For the pickled onion: Place the onion in a medium-size heatproof bowl. Combine the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, thyme and black peppercorns in a small saucepan over high heat. Bring just to a boil, then pour over the onion, making sure it is submerged. Let it sit for 1 hour, then drain, reserving the liquid for another use, if desired.

For the herb Dijon mayonnaise: Whisk together the plant-based mayo, Dijon mustard, capers, parsley, dill and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Taste; season with salt as needed. You’ll need a total of 6 tablespoons for the sandwiches; the rest can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Beefsteak Sandwiches

Photo by Dixie D. Vereen for The Washington Post

For the sandwiches: Spread each half of the bun with 1 tablespoon of the herb Dijon mayonnaise.

To peel the tomato, score a shallow X in the bottom. Place in a pot of boiling water for 20 to 30 seconds, then immediately drain and transfer to an ice- water bath.

When cool enough to handle, discard the tomato skin.

Cut three 3/4-inch slices from middle of the peeled tomato.

Place a slice of tomato on each bottom bun half. Season the tomato lightly with salt and pepper, then drizzle with a little oil. Top each portion with avocado slices, 2 tablespoons of the pickled onion and some alfalfa sprouts.

Top with the remaining brioche bun halves.

he vibrant sauce in this recipe uses both cooked and raw tomatoes for an interesting contrast of flavors that are gentle and assertive, respectively. Lots of basil and some white wine provide a tempered sweetness that brings out the essence of the August tomato.

The squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the steaks just before serving adds a refreshing and familiar acidity that dovetails nicely with the acidity in the sauce. Be sure to rinse the tomatoes before you use them.

Skilled Trades and Manufacturing Mega Career Fair

Emmeline Pankhurst, who was the most well-known English suffragette, said, “We are here, not because we are law-breakers; we are here in our efforts to become law-makers.”

Yesterday, we looked at the “law” for a defender who is long in trumps: Try to make declarer ruff; do not look for ruffs yourself. Does that also apply in today’s deal, where South is in four hearts?

In the auction, South had no particular reason to rebid three clubs.

If the opponents did compete to four spades, he planned to double.

His hand did not suggest it would be necessary to go to the five-level, especially with that dangerous doubleton spade, which surely meant two immediate losers.

West was tempted to make a speculative double of four hearts, and if he had held the heart ace instead of the diamond ace, it would have been reasonable.

West, whose partner surely has no entry card, should lead off with his three top spades. What should South do next?

If trumps are 3-2, South can ruff the third spade, draw trumps, drive out the diamond ace, and claim 10 tricks via five hearts, one diamond and four clubs. But what if hearts are 4-1? Then declarer must be careful.

After ruffing at trick three, he should cash dummy’s two high trumps, the honors from the shorter side first.

When the 4-1 break comes to light, South must establish his diamond winner while there is still a trump on the board. West can take declarer’s diamond king with his ace and lead another spade, but South ruffs in the dummy, plays a club to his hand, draws West’s remaining trumps, and claims.
