Good morning, McHenry County ...

We’re ready for prep football; are you?

If you read Thursday’s edition, with our high school football season preview, you know we’ve been preparing for the return of prep football for a while. The area is stocked with some of the best players in the state, with some being mentioned as top recruits in the country, which was the focus of this year’s preview.

Now, on Friday night, we’ll have you covered with reporters at 11 of the area’s 12 games. We’ll have live updates from those games at mchenrycountysports.com, and you can watch the Plano at Johnsburg game on our site at www.nwherald.com/video/johnsburg/.

If you are on Snapchat, we have filters at the games at Cary-Grove, Crystal Lake Central, Crystal Lake South, Huntley and Richmond-Burton from 5 to 11 p.m. at each stadium, too.

After the games, we’ll have stories on all as well as photo galleries from Prairie Ridge at Cary-Grove and Jacobs at Huntley. We’ll also have a recap video, video interviews and we’ll post our Buffalo Wild Wings Football Player of the Week candidates for you to vote.

Our goal is to provide the most complete coverage of all of the area’s football

08.26.16

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Jon Styf teams every day, and we think we’ll have you covered on that. All you have to do is follow along.

When the state rankings came out this week, seven area teams already were ranked.

Another, Marian Central, was just outside the rankings. We feel like this is about to be another banner year for football in McHenry County.

Our team already has the weekend after Thanksgiving, both Friday and Saturday, marked down as days we plan to be working covering teams in state final games. It’s just a matter of which teams will make it there, because we know there are plenty of local teams with that potential.

We’re excited and hope you are too. Get ready to follow a season to remember.

WORLD’S FIRST SELF-DRIVING TAXIS DEBUT IN SINGAPORE

Do you have a news tip or story idea? Call us at 815-459-4122 or email us at tips@ nwherald.com.

SINGAPORE – The world’s first self-driving taxis are picking up passengers in Singapore.

Select members of the public began hailing free rides Thursday through their smartphones in taxis operated by nuTonomy, an autonomous vehicle software startup. Although multiple companies, including Google and Volvo, have been testing self-driving cars on public roads for several years, nuTonomy says it is the first to offer rides to the public. It beat ride-hailing service Uber, which plans to offer rides in autonomous cars in Pittsburgh, by a few weeks.

The service is starting small – six cars now, growing to a dozen by the end of the year. The ultimate goal, say nuTonomy officials, is to have a fully self-driving taxi fleet in Singapore by 2018, which will help sharply cut the number of cars on Singapore’s congested roads. Eventually, the model could be adopted in cities around the world, nuTonomy says.

D-155, D-158 superintendents observe school system on European trip

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – EF Educational Tours offered the opportunity and paid for a group of about 30 educators from the U.S. to go on a trip to Finland this summer to study the Finnish school system, including top leaders from local school districts in Crystal Lake and Huntley.

During the June trip, Crystal Lakebased School District 155 Superintendent Johnnie Thomas observed the differences between Finnish and U.S. schools.

While Thomas said the school facilities in Finland were not as advanced as U.S. schools, the relationship between Finnish schools with students and teachers is something U.S. residents wouldn’t be accustomed to.

“In Finland what I found is, there is an incredible amount of trust in the students and teachers,” Thomas said. “The [Finnish] schools trust that students know what they need to learn and offer more personalized teaching as a result.

And the trust at the teacher level was even more incredible.”

Education is highly personalized in Finland and is built toward each individual student’s learning needs, Thomas said. Finnish teachers spend more time giving individual attention to their students, especially ones who need extra help.

“One thing that I found absolutely amazing was that they don’t have an inspection or evaluation,” Thomas said.

“So these teachers are trusted to be professionals, trusted with managing their time and trusted with managing their curriculum without any interruptions from those outside the educational community.”

Thomas said teachers in Finland don’t have a heavy workload compared with U.S. teachers, and a typical Finnish teacher’s day is commonly spent teaching just three course subjects. Thomas also said he discovered that elementary school teachers in Finland only teach about 20 hours a week and every teacher in the country is required to have at least a master’s degree.

“There’s a correlation there with District 155, where the majority of our teachers have master’s degrees and are very prepared and well-trained,” Thomas said.

Thomas was on the European trip sponsored by EFF Tours for about nine days. When the District 155 superinten-

Thomas went to Finland in June where he learned more about how school systems work in other countries. dent eventually returned to the U.S. on June 27, it wasn’t just luggage he brought back with him, but a better understanding of the Finnish school system and what he could use from that system to further improve his own district.

“Because of this trip, I want to further continue to find ways that allow for our teachers to work in conjunction with the student to personalize the educational experience for them and give them a stronger voice in John Burkey their learning,” Thomas said.

Huntley District 158 Superintendent John Burkey was the other educator from McHenry County who went on the European trip sponsored and paid for

by EFF Tour, a company that helps students and educators learn more about international school systems.

“We want to consider ourselves a world-class school district,” Burkey said.

“Well, to become a world-class school district, you have to look at other world-

class school districts to make sure that we are doing things as well as possible.”

Burkey said one of his biggest takeaways from the trip was how much time Finnish teachers were given to collaborate with one another on their teaching lessons.

“It does make me think that we really need to try harder to find more ways for teachers [in the U.S.] to have more collaboration time,” Burkey said. “With that being said, at our elementary level right now, we’re already working on trying to find more time for the teachers to collaborate.”

Burkey said another key point from the trip was the Finnish school system’s emphasis on quality over quantity for students.

“In our education system, we’ve often had the mindset that [students] doing more homework is better and kids being in school longer is better, but I think we really need to re-evaluate that,” Burkey said. “I think that more is not necessarily better, but it’s the quality of what they’re doing and learning.”

McHenry County residents who buy health insurance through the Affordable Health Care marketplace will have only one vendor from which to choose next year, and can expect to pay much more.

An analysis released Wednesday by the Illinois Department of Insurance revealed that only Blue Cross Blue Shield plans operated by the Health Care Services Corp. will be available for county residents shopping for either individual or small-group insurance in 2017.

The data comes on the heels of a number of insurers leaving the health care law’s marketplaces in Illinois and elsewhere because of rising costs. Major insurers Aetna and UnitedHealthcare are pulling out of Illinois, and the nonprofit Land of Lincoln Health is folding after losing $90 million last year, leaving 49,000 people without coverage.

As for costs, the monthly cost for McHenry County residents wanting the median “silver” plan often looked at as a benchmark of average cost will increase an average of 30 percent. Cost for the lowest bronze plan are expected to increase 47 percent for county residents, and by 41 percent for people wanting the lowest gold plan.

The total number of plans also will decrease. McHenry and 15 other counties will have fewer than 20 total plans available when open enrollment begins Nov. 1. For small-group plans, McHenry County is the only county in Illinois that will have fewer than 20 total plans available – small-group insurance shoppers in the other 101 counties will have

Anne Melissa Dowling

State insurance department acting director between 20 and 40. Shoppers in eight Illinois counties, mostly in northwestern Illinois and the St. Louis metro area, will have no gold plan available.

Nationwide and state increases are due to factors such as lack of promised federal payments, increases in medical and pharmaceutical costs, and Washington’s decision in 2013 to allow policyholders to keep plans noncompliant with the act through 2017, state insurance department Acting Director Anne Melissa Dowling said in a statement.

“The department is releasing this rate information in order to provide consumers as much information as possible, as early as possible, so they can better make decisions for their families’ health care needs,” Dowling said.

Individuals who buy insurance on exchanges qualify for financial help based on the cost of their available plans and the ability to pay. People who buy insurance directly from companies without using the exchanges are not eligible.

McHenry County’s representatives in the U.S. House seized on the news to criticize President Obama’s signature health care law, which passed in 2010 without a single Republican vote.

U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Plano, said that the law’s shortcomings now mean that three of the seven counties in his 14th Congressional District – McHenry, Lake and Kendall – only have one insurer on the exchange, and that everyone districtwide will have fewer plans and higher costs.

“This news demonstrates a critical failure in the law, which no longer provides the affordable health care or access it promised,” Hultgren said. “We are now witnessing the monopolization of health care in Illinois – a devastating reality for many of my constituents who have no choice but to pay exorbitant premiums, drug costs and copays for coverage chosen for them by a failed law and a broken market.”

U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Wheaton, also said the news is proof that the law is a “failure.”

“Illinois families are paying more money for fewer and fewer benefits.

Now, they can expect a double-digit increase in their health insurance premiums for 2017,” Roskam said.

State regulators still are reviewing rate requests for off-marketplace health plans. Those requests will be made final at the federal level in October.

Woodstock resident helps in aftermath of Louisiana flooding

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Brenda Farnum helped pick up the pieces when a tornado struck Fairdale in 2015 and is now in Louisiana, working through the aftermath of the devastating floods that occurred Aug. 11.

Floods ravaged Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and killed at least 13, displaced thousands and caused $30 million in damage. Volunteers from around the U.S. have traveled to the area to help.

Farnum, of Woodstock, has volunteered with the Red Cross for the past seven years, but this is her first national deployment. Volunteers are chosen based on their experiences, skills and availability. Assignments typically last two weeks, Farnum said.

She previously volunteered during times of crisis in DeKalb, Ogle, Boone and McHenry counties.

More than 110,000 homes were dam-

aged by the floods, according to numbers from the Red Cross. But residents have come together throughout the ordeal and are hopeful, Farnum said.

“It’s been a few weeks, so we’re rebuilding. They’re positive,” she said.

“The clients who were evacuated are upbeat and bonded together as a family.”

The shelters were opened away from the hardest hit areas so the residents don’t have to face the destruction every day. Long-term recovery and short-term relief have both been part of the experience. The short-term help is straightforward – make sure people have food, shelter and water. The longterm help involve paperwork and case management, to make sure residents will get connected to the services they will need.

Leaving Sept. 6 will be the hardest part, Farnum said.

“Over the course of these few days I have met some wonderful, wonderful

people,” she said. “I won’t see them after (this.) I can go back home to my life after two weeks ... They have to get used to this new normal.”

The Red Cross urges donations.

Damage estimates top $30 million and the organization has received $7.8 million so far.

“The situation in Louisiana remains critical,” said Celena Roldán, CEO of American Red Cross of Chicago & Northern Illinois. “People need help right now. We urge people to please consider making a financial donation to the Red Cross today to support the people of Louisiana.”

HOW TO HELP

People can donate by visiting redcross.org, calling 1-800-RED-CROSS or texting the word LAFLOODS to 90999 to make a $10 donation. Donations enable the Red Cross to prepare for, respond to and help people recovery from disasters.

CRYSTAL LAKE

Gov. Rauner signs law inspired

by CL South bleacher debacle

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – State law now explicitly states that school districts are subject to local zoning, courtesy of a bill inspired by the Crystal Lake South High School bleacher controversy.

Gov. Bruce Rauner on Thursday signed Senate Bill 2186 into law, which mandates that school districts must adhere to local zoning ordinances if they wish to build or expand. Crystal Lake-based Community High School District 155 unsuccessfully argued in a lengthy court battle that the city’s zoning rules didn’t apply when it built new and larger bleachers in 2013 at a cost of $1.18 million.

The law codifies the 2015 ruling by the Illinois Supreme Court that sided with neighbors who took the school district to court, said state Sen. Pam Althoff, R-McHenry,

“This law echoes what the court already decided. But most importantly, it clarifies a gray area in the school code and lays down a clear path for future construction and developments,” Althoff said in a statement.

A neighbor and McHenry County State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi, who owns an adjoining property, sued District 155 as construction progressed, alleging the board did not go through the city zoning process to build westside bleachers that were too large and too close to their property line.

District 155 argued that municipal zoning codes do not apply to school districts. The neighbors and the city of Crystal Lake – which was later added to the lawsuit as a counter-defendant – argued they do, and that the bleachers violate the city’s rules. The courts consistently sided with the plaintiffs.

The new law does not allow local zoning ordinances to either regulate educational activities or interfere

with a school’s statutory duties – for example, a city could not forbid a high school from building a garage for a shop class because the area is not zoned for business. The House amendment also requires local governments to streamline a school’s zoning application process and reduce costs and fees.

District 155 agreed to pay the city $260,000 in fines to cover what Crystal Lake spent fighting in court – the city could have levied a fine of between $500,000 and $5.5 million for violating zoning laws. The district also agreed to pay $273,000 to help cover the legal costs of the neighbors.

A compromise plan kept the west bleachers in place, but smaller. The home bleachers have since returned to the east side and expanded.

State Rep. Mike Tryon, R-Crystal Lake, carried the bill in the House. He said the new law will spare other cities from similar legal headaches that the taxpayers ended up financing.

LAKE IN THE HILLS – High renovation costs and site visibility concerns ultimately are what led Big R department store to not locate in Lake in the Hills, Big R President and CEO Jerry Gibbs said.

The 80,000-square-foot store at Randall and Algonquin roads, formerly a Dominick’s, was expected to create about 45 full-time jobs and generate $160,000 in yearly sales tax, according to village documents.

In May, the Lake in the Hills Village Board authorized a tax incentive for the business that would have split sales tax revenue between the developer and village until the developer had been paid $500,000, documents show.

The incentive was meant to help offset the $2.1 million cost of refurbishing and expanding the building.

Big R planned to add an 8,000-square-foot warehouse, repair the parking lot and replace the HVAC systems at the property, documents

show.

Although he would not say how much estimated renovation costs increased, Gibbs said the project became too expensive as it moved forward.

“The building was really configured for a grocery store,” Gibbs said Wednesday.

On top of renovation costs, Gibbs said the property is hard to see from the road.

“We’re looking at sites all over the Midwest, and just thought we had better opportunities,” Gibbs said.

The store’s next Midwest opening is set for Lima, Ohio, Gibbs said. Another store opened in November in McHenry, but Gibbs said that did not play a factor in why the business is not coming to Lake in the Hills.

Lake in the Hills officials said they were surprised and disappointed in June when the retailer said it no longer was locating in the village.

Economic development coordinator George Hahne said the village is working with other businesses interested in the space.

CRYSTAL LAKE – More commuters will have internet access as Metra expands its Wi-Fi hot spot program.

The agency announced this week it would add free hot spots to 50 more of its cars. The connectivity program launched as a test six months ago and has been a success, Metra Executive Director/CEO Don Orseno said.

“It’s clear from the test that this technology can meet the needs of a majority of our customers while still being affordable to Metra, so we are expanding our Wi-Fi program to 50 more cars,” he said in a press release.

“We’re happy to offer one more way to improve the customer experience on board our trains.”

The additional hot spots will be distributed throughout Metra lines.

Cars with the service will be labeled with exterior orange decals. The units cost about $2,000 each with $250 per-unit monthly costs. To access the service, users can select “Metra Wi-Fi Onboard” from network options and must agree to terms and conditions before use.

UNION – Two men have been charged in connection with a burglary at Clasen’s Tavern in Union, police said.

Earlier this month, the Woodstock Police Department arrested 26-yearold Andrew C. Hintt of Woodstock and 31-year-old Harold T. Caley Jr. of Crystal Lake, according to a news release from the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office.

Woodstock police shared information on the two men with the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office, which then led to more charges for the men for an Aug. 4 burglary at Clasen’s Tavern, 17628 Depot St., police said.

Hintt was charged with burglary, theft and criminal damage to proper-

ty, police said.

He was arrested earlier this month after a burglary at Kingston Lanes Bowling and Sports Lounge, 1330 S. Eastwood Drive, Woodstock.

Caley was charged with burglary, theft and criminal damage to property, police said.

Hintt and Caley’s most serious charge, a Class 2 felony, could result in up to seven years in prison.

Union police, the sheriff’s office Multi-Jurisdictional SWAT team, the sheriff’s office Narcotics Task Force and members of the U.S. Marshals Service’s Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force also assisted, police said.

Both men are being held at the McHenry County Correctional Facility on $70,000 bond, police said.

CL man sentenced to 4 years for crime was committed because of the sexually assaulting family member use, abuse or addiction of alcohol or a WOODSTOCK – A McHenry County judge sentenced a Crystal Lake man to four years in prison after he admitted to sexually assaulting a young family member.

Alfonso Diaz-Landa, 35, pleaded guilty Thursday to one count of criminal sexual assault. The felony charge is punishable by Alfonso a minimum of four and Diaz-Landa up to 15 years in prison.

Diaz-Landa also faces deportation as a result of the conviction.

Judge Sharon Prather accepted the plea agreement. Prather also found the

controlled substance.

Diaz-Landa was arrested in April and charged with criminal sexual assault and domestic battery. All other charges against the defendant were dismissed by the state’s attorney’s office as a term of the plea agreement.

Diaz-Landa will be required to register as a sex offender and will serve a period of mandatory supervised release between three years and natural life. He also will receive credit for the roughly four months already served in McHenry County Jail, and the sentence must be served at 85 percent, according to state law.

Village to hold public hearing for a proposed subdivision

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com FOX RIVER GROVE – Developer Michael Graft Jr. is looking to build a “maintenance-free town home community” on County Line Road south of Route 22 in Fox River Grove.

Graft, manager of Great Properties II LLC, said the project will start with four duplexes and eventually expand if there is enough demand.

“We’ve got aging baby boomers who are less concerned about having large lots,” Graft said. “And want to make sure that they have properties that are easy to maintain and keep up with, and still be in the area.”

The ultimate goal is to have a 24-unit subdivision with duplexes and townhouses on the 3-acre property, Graft said. However, if there’s not a demand for housing, office complexes similar to ones north of the property, will be built.

The homes will cost about $300,000 a unit, Graft said, and the maintenance fees will be split between owners.

Homes likely will have stone on the

bottom halves, and transition into siding on top, Graft said.

Depending on when plans are approved, construction could start in the winter, or spring of 2017, Graft said.

Although the properties are within Fox River Grove village limits, the homes will have a Barrington address and go to Barrington schools, Graft said.

“We’re trying to redevelop the downtown area,” Village Administrator Derek Soderholm said. “And so this is another way we can add more people to help support local business in the immediate vicinity of Fox River Grove.”

A public hearing for the plans, which require a special-use permit for a planned unit development, will be 7 p.m.

Monday at Fox River Grove Village Hall, 305 Illinois St. After the public hearing, the planning and economic development commission will make a recommendation on the project for the Fox River Grove Committee of the Whole to consider.

Soderholm said the item likely will not reach the Village Board until its Sept. 15 meeting.

ence. The county will cover the $2.66 million in engineering costs.

The current schedule calls for the rebuild of Route 23 mostly to be done by the end of 2017, with work on the ramps and the unmanned tollbooths to start in 2018.

Marengo’s plan for the interchange, which is equidistant from O’Hare and Rockford airports and

near rail access, is to create an industrial hub. An analysis released in June concluded that the interchange and the jobs that would come with the plan could mean between $538 million and more than $1.7 billion in economic impact, or between $697 million and $2.25 billion if the construction of the interchange and the industries are included.

WOODSTOCK – The go-ahead for McHenry County’s share of the bill to build an interchange at Route 23 and Interstate 90 south of Marengo is on it way to a McHenry County Board vote.

Its Finance and Audit Committee voted Thursday, 6-0, to recommended approval of agreements regarding who will pay for what regarding the interchange. Bids will be allowed this fall should the full County Board give the OK to the memorandum of understanding with state agencies and the intergovernmental agreement with Marengo for the design costs.

The County Board is expected to vote on the measure at its Sept.

6 meeting. Its Transportation Committee voted last week to recommend approval.

The project, now pegged at $32 million in the county’s latest fiveyear transportation plan, is divided into two phases. The first phase is

the rebuilding of the Route 23 overpass, which the state was planning to do anyway, with the additions of onand off-ramps in the second phase.

A number of McHenry County officials and businesses long have wanted the county to have an interchange on the small strip of I-90 that crosses the county. Supporters claim that the county is the largest by population in the nation without direct access to an interstate.

Opponents of the measure question the cost and the true benefit, and are skeptical of assurances that Marengo will not line Route 23 with subdivisions and big-box stores, turning it into another Randall Road that will require a future fix at taxpayer expense.

Under the recommended agreements, the Illinois Toll Highway Authority will pay for rebuilding Route 23 and widening it to accommodate additional traffic. The authority will shoulder half the cost for the ramps in the second phase, with the county and the Illinois Department of Transportation splitting the differ-

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – You’ll take three steps forward and five steps back if you aren’t sensitive to what’s going on around you and to the way others feel about the changes you are making. Be smart, offer incentives and avoid opposition. A suggestion will be hard to swallow, but worth listening to and adopting.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Take heed of what’s being said or offered to you. Someone will take advantage of you if you display vulnerability.

Size things up and do what’s right. People with ulterior motives should be avoided.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Don’t be tempted to make physical, emotional or personal changes

based on false information or empty promises.

Research will be necessary to avoid disappointment. Don’t trust a smooth operator.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Don’t trust anyone to handle your money or personal affairs.

Meaningless promises and bad information will put you in a precarious position. An interesting lifestyle change is encouraged.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Partnerships should be questioned if they don’t appear to be fair. Size up your situation and make your move.

Look out for your own interests. Don’t give in to emotional blackmail.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You may desire change, but it won’t be in your best interest.

Take the time to observe anything that attracts your attention before you decide to jump in

with both feet.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Explore what’s available to you and make changes to accommodate your aims. Gather information and promote what you have to offer. Diversity will be your strength.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Proceed with caution. A trick question will lead to discord and compromise. Be careful not to show vulnerability and don’t give in to emotional manipulation.

Walk away from a bad situation.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Someone will lead you astray if you don’t question what’s happening. Be disciplined and make moves to ensure that no one takes advantage of you. Personal change is favored.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Don’t let an emo-

tional matter ruin your day or your progress.

Handling matters involving children and elders will be necessary. Look over contracts carefully.

Handle money matters personally.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Keep busy and avoid discord with peers or relatives. Domestic problems at home are best taken care of before the situation becomes costly financially, physically and emotionally.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You’ll have to work hard to get to the bottom of a certain situation.

Information will not be offered freely. Let your intuition be your guide.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t let anyone take advantage of you by preying upon your emotions.

Offer assistance, but remember you should be taking care of your family before anyone else.

Redistricting won’t appear on Nov. ballot

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – A divided Illinois Supreme Court narrowly ruled Thursday that a voter referendum seeking to change how Illinois draws political boundaries is unconstitutional, making it ineligible to appear on the November ballot.

The high court, in a 4-3 decision, affirmed the ruling by a Cook County judge who determined the ballot initiative seeking to give legislative mapmaking power to an independent commission instead of lawmakers didn’t meet constitutional muster. It’s the second failed attempt to overhaul redistricting by petition in two years.

The ruling in the high-stakes case – falling the day before an election deadline to certify fall ballots – had the potential to alter Illinois’ political power dynamic, where elected officials in the Democratic-leaning state run the oncea-decade process. But in a 63-page ruling the majority justices said the measure didn’t meet narrow constitutional requirements.

“The intent demonstrated by both the plain constitutional language and this court’s prior case law imposes clear

News from across the state Walgreens clinics run by SSM to include birth control

ST. LOUIS – The nonprofit Catholic organization SSM Health will provide birth control pills at the 26 clinics inside St. Louis-area Walgreens stores that it began operating Thursday, an SSM spokesman said.

Four groups, led by the American Civil Liberties Union, wrote letters to SSM and Walgreens on Aug. 18, asking whether the clinics would be restricted by religious doctrine from allowing consultations on birth control and referrals for abortions.

SSM spokesman Jason Merrill said in a phone interview Thursday that the clinics will provide 30-day refills for contraceptive pills previously prescribed by a physician – the same policy carried by the clinics previously run in-house

by Walgreens. A website for the clinics

restrictions on the scope of permissible ballot initiatives,” Justice Thomas Kilbride wrote for the majority. “We may not ignore our mandate by simply deferring to the redistricting approach proffered by a particular ballot proposal, no matter how appealing it may be.”

The legal arguments in the case have largely centered on whether the ballot measure met the constitutional scope of being “structural and procedural” to the state’s Legislature.

It’s a high bar. Only one other petition-driven measure has made it to the ballot.

Justices were sharply divided.

Dissenting Justice Robert Thomas blasted the majority decision as “nothing less than the nullification of a critical component” of the constitution with “particularly unfortunate” timing.

“In Illinois, as throughout the United States, there is a palpable sense of frustration by voters of every political affiliation that self-perpetuating institutions of government have excluded them from meaningful participation in the political process,” he wrote.

Backers of the measure – called the Independent Maps coalition – said they would consider whether to seek a rehearing. They collected about 563,000

signatures for the ballot measure, claiming the current mapmaking process is too political. They wanted voters to endorse a complex new system that would include an 11-member bipartisan commission, the state auditor general and a random drawing.

“Mapmaking by legislators – the very people whose re-elections depend on partisan maps – has led to a decline in competitive elections and voter dissatisfaction,” said Dennis FitzSimons, the group’s chairman. “Drafters of the Illinois Constitution would not recognize the interpretation made by the Supreme Court majority.”

The ballot measure was challenged through a lawsuit brought by an attorney who has long represented top Democrats, including the leader of the state party, House Speaker Michael Madigan.

The complaint was filed on behalf of minority business and community leaders called the People’s Map who claimed a new process would diminish minority representation. However, those arguments weren’t addressed in court.

“Any attempt to weaken the rights of minority voters is an attack on democracy itself, making today’s ruling a victory for a fair and truly accountable electoral process,” People’s Map chair-

man John Hooker said in a statement.

Independent Maps, whose members included Republican former Gov. Jim Edgar and former White House chief of staff Bill Daley, dismissed the lawsuit as the work of “entrenched” interests. Democratic leaders have said they weren’t involved in the lawsuit.

Independent Maps attorneys had argued that since legislative districts are the “building blocks of the General Assembly,” redistricting is by its nature structural and procedural. In briefs to the high court, they addressed the intent of the Illinois Constitution, last rewritten in 1970, and argued that not reversing the Cook County judge’s ruling would “eviscerate the constitutional right” to directly propose reforms.

Gov. Bruce Rauner, the state’s first GOP governor in over a decade, supported a 2014 redistricting effort as part of his gubernatorial run. A Cook County judge rejected that attempt.

“Fair maps create fair districts,” Rauner said in a statement. “The system is broken and controlled by career politicians,” State election officials already had determined the measure appeared to have enough valid signatures ahead of Friday’s deadline to certify ballots.

Judge: Beliefs mean terror suspect unfit to stand trial

CHICAGO – A suburban Chicago terrorism suspect charged with attempting to bomb a downtown bar sincerely believes that fantastical lizards, Freemasons and assorted other shadowy figures are out to get him, so he is mentally unfit to stand trial, a judge concluded Thursday in a rare federal ruling.

Among the plots that 22-year-old Adel Daoud has broached in court was that the judge was herself “a reptilian overlord” and that his own attorneys were in cahoots with the Illuminati, Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman said in explaining her decision at a hearing in U.S. District Court in Chicago.

Coleman said Daoud’s mental state has deteriorated since previous exams found him competent, saying “his belief in the Illuminati, Freemasons and lizard people is sincere and escalating.” She pointed

Officials to analyze fairgrounds flooding

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois transportation officials said they will study ways to ease the kind of flooding that inundated the start of this year’s Illinois State Fair.

Heavy rains, as much as nearly 5.6 inches on the first day of the fair, swamped campgrounds and forced fair officials to cancel some events Aug. 12, The State Journal-Register reported.

Illinois Department of Agriculture spokeswoman Rebecca Clark said the Illinois Department of Transportation will analyze how to improve flood control on the 360-acre fairgrounds in Springfield.

The department said roof leaks and foundation problems in some older fair buildings contributed to the flooding’s severity. Clark said agriculture department staff have yet to determine the extent of damage to aging roofs and

Chicago police free man questioned in deadly fire

CHICAGO – Chicago police said a man they were questioning about a fire that killed an infant, two children and a man has been released without charges.

Chicago Police Officer Jose Estrada said the man was released Thursday morning. Estrada said the criminal investigation into the Tuesday morning blaze continues and police still believe it was arson.

Police said after the fire that it appeared to have been deliberately set by someone after a domestic dispute.

Three-month-old Melanie Watson, two children ages 7 and 4, and 56-year-old Kirk Johnson died in the fire. The Cook County medical examiner has ruled the infant and Johnson’s deaths homicides.

Autopsies on the children are pending identification.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Tornadoes hit Indiana, Ohio; no severe injuries

KOKOMO, Ind. – In a central Indiana city where trees were sheared off at their stumps by one of several tornadoes in the region, residents began the hard work Thursday of cleaning up destroyed or damaged homes and businesses.

The EF3 tornado that swept through the south side of Kokomo, Indiana, on Wednesday afternoon packing winds as high as 152 mph toppled a Starbucks coffee shop and tore apart numerous homes. One of them belonged to 45-year-old Mark Martinez, who was out picking up his daughter from school and returned to find everything but the bedrooms on one side of his house destroyed.

In Ohio, damage was reported in four counties, including Van Wert County, where officials said at least two tornadoes touched down about two miles apart, tearing roofs off homes and flattening barns. A tornado warning also briefly stopped a KISS concert Wednesday night in Toledo, Ohio, although no twisters touched down in that city.

Trump sounding soft on illegal immigration

By ERICA WERNER

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Donald Trump defeated 16 rivals in the Republican primaries by being the most anti-immigrant of them all, promising to build a giant wall on the border and deport millions.

He labeled opponents such as Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio as weak and amnesty-loving, and his extreme rhetoric pushed the entire immigration debate to the right.

But suddenly, Trump is sounding like some of the people he defeated. In an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity” show Wednesday, Trump discussed how tough it is to break up families for deportation, suggesting that maybe upstanding people who’ve been in this country for years should be allowed to stay if they pay back taxes and insisting, just as Bush and Rubio were repeatedly forced to do, that such actions would not amount to “amnesty.”

“Everywhere I go I get the same reaction. They want toughness. They want firmness. They want to obey the law,” Trump said. “But they feel that throwing them out as a whole family when they’ve been here for a long time, it’s a tough thing.”

Trump’s exact meaning was murky. And it was unclear if he was unveiling a new stance or simply trying out new rhetoric to appeal to a general election audience as he lags Democrat Hillary Clinton in polls 11 weeks before the election. His new campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, insisted on CNN Thursday that “nothing has changed in terms of the policies.”

And Trump seemed to backtrack yet again less than 24 hours later, saying on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” Thursday evening that he would not grant any legal

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump greets former presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson as he arrives to speak at a campaign rally Thursday in Manchester, N.H. status to immigrants here illegally unless they leave the U.S. first, something that would be burdensome and impractical when applied to millions of people. “There is no path to legalization unless they leave the country and come back,” he said.

Still, Trump’s new language seemed to reveal an awareness that his unyielding stance against immigrants is unlikely to get him to the White House, with Latinos voting in growing numbers in key states.

“He’s learned painfully, belatedly, that what stirs up a large part of the Republican primary electorate is not what wins general elections,” said John Rowe, a GOP donor and former CEO of Exelon, who’s planning to vote for libertarian Gary Johnson.

“You cannot win without women, Asians, Latinos, African-Americans.”

In an interview Thursday on ABC, Bush called Trump’s positioning “abhorrent,” saying: “I can only say that whatever his views are this morning, they might change this afternoon, and they were different than they were last night, and they’ll be different tomorrow.”

Clinton, speaking on CNN, dismissed Trump’s shifting language as “a desperate effort to try to land somewhere that isn’t as devastating to his campaign as his comments and his positions have been up until now.”

There were signs that Trump risked angering hardcore supporters who helped him win the nomination.

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter, who published a book called “In Trump We Trust,” reacted with angry tweets to Trump’s comments on Fox, including remarking sardonically “Well, if it’s ‘hard,’ then never mind.”

GOP Rep. Steve King of Iowa, a leading immigration hardliner, said in an interview that “I have some concerns at this point” over Trump’s stances.

The upside for Trump was not immediately apparent.

Immigrant advocates argued he would gain no ground with Hispanics by giving lip-service to limited pro-immigrant measures while still insisting on the need for a border wall.

Advocates speculated that Trump’s goal was to woo independent voters who might support him but are turned off by his harsher stances.

EpiPen maker to offer some patients aid on cost The ASSOCIATED PRESS The maker of EpiPens offered patients more help to pay for its costly emergency allergy shots but didn’t budge Thursday on the $608 price.

The announcement from Mylan N.V. triggered a new round of condemnation from politicians and consumer groups, who accuse the company of price-gouging on a potentially life-saving treatment.

Critics stressed that insurers, employers and taxpayers still will foot most of the cost for EpiPens. Over time, that drives up insurance premiums and the country’s burgeoning health care tab.

“Everybody suffers, except the Mylan investors,” said Sabrina Corlette of Georgetown University’s Health Policy Institute.

This week, Mylan joined other drugmakers such as Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. and Turing Pharmaceuticals, who’ve been blasted for mammoth price increases.

Mylan CEO Heather Bresch defended her company’s price hikes Thursday, telling CNBC that lowering the price was not an option. Bresch said the company only receives $274 of the $608 for a twin-package of EpiPens. She

for its patient assistance program, so a family of four making up to $97,200 would pay nothing out of pocket. It also said it will offer $300 copay cards, up from the current $100 per-prescription savings. That would cut the bill in half for patients who have to pay full price.

People eventually will be able to order the injected medicine directly from the company, to lower their cost.

“This step seems like a PR fix more than a real remedy, masking an exorbitant and callous price hike,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Connecticut, said in a statement.

EpiPens, which have little competition, are used in emergencies to treat severe allergies to insect bites and foods like nuts and eggs that can lead to anaphylactic shock. People usually keep a number of EpiPens handy at home, school or work. The syringes, prefilled with the hormone epinephrine, expire after a year.

How much an individual pays depends on insurance coverage. Private insurers often negotiate discounts off the list price, and patient out-of-pocket costs vary by plan. Customers of Express Scripts Holding Co., the nation’s largest prescription benefits manager, pay $73.50. Mylan has said that many people get EpiPens with no out-of-pocket cost.

The list price for a pair of EpiPens has been raised repeatedly from $93.88 in 2007, when Mylan acquired the product, according to Elsevier Clinical Solutions’ database of prices set by manufacturers.

Rescuers search through debris after an earthquake Wednesday in Pescara Del Tronto, Italy.

“We will work relentlessly until the last person is found, and make sure no one is trapped,” said Lorenzo Botti, a rescue team spokesman.

Worst affected by the quake were the tiny towns of Amatrice and Accumoli near Rieti, 60 miles northeast of Rome, and Pescara del Tronto, 15 miles

farther to the east.

Many were left homeless by the scale of the destruction, their homes and apartments declared uninhabitable. Some survivors, escorted by firefighters, were allowed to go back inside homes briefly Thursday to get essential necessities for what surely will be

• Friday, August 26, 2016

PESCARA DEL TRONTO – As the search for survivors ground on, Premier Matteo Renzi pledged new money and measures Thursday to rebuild quake-devastated central Italy amid mounting soul-searching over why the seismic-prone country has continually failed to ensure its buildings can withstand such catastrophes.

A day after the deadly quake killed 250 people, a 4.3 magnitude aftershock sent up plumes of thick gray dust in the hard-hit town of Amatrice. The aftershock crumbled already cracked buildings, rattled residents and closed already clogged roads.

It was only one of the more than 470 temblors that have followed Wednesday’s pre-dawn quake.

Firefighters and rescue crews using sniffer dogs worked in teams around the hard-hit areas in central Italy, pulling chunks of cement, rock and metal from mounds of rubble where homes once stood. Rescuers refused to say when their work would shift from saving lives to recovering bodies, noting that one person was pulled alive from the rubble 72 hours after the 2009 quake in the nearby town of L’Aquila.

an extended absence.

“Last night, we slept in the car. Tonight, I don’t know,” Nello Caffini said as he carried his sister-in-law’s belongings on his head after being allowed to go quickly into her home in Pescara del Tronto.

Caffini has a house in nearby Ascoli, but said his sister-in-law was too terrified by the aftershocks to go inside it.

“When she is more tranquil, we will go to Ascoli,” he said.

Charitable assistance began pouring into the earthquake zone in traffic-clogging droves Thursday. Church groups from a variety of Christian denominations, along with farmers offering donated peaches, pumpkins and plums, sent vans along the one-way road into Amatrice that already was packed with emergency vehicles and trucks carrying sniffer dogs.

Other assistance was spiritual.

“When we learned that the hardest hit place was here, we spoke to our bishop and he encouraged us to come here to comfort the families of the victims,” said a priest who gave his name only as Father Marco as he walked through Pescara del Tronto. “They have given us a beautiful example, because their pain did not take away their dignity.”

OUR VIEW

Prep football a community pastime People across Illinois will flock to high school football games tonight for the first contests of the new school year.

It’s an enduring local tradition that signals that fall really will soon be upon us.

For the record Many Americans share a fascination We’d like to wish all our with football, but un- local teams and their fans a like the games that great 2016 season of exciting will soon be kicking finishes, no lightning delays, and off on Saturdays and big 50/50 raffle jackpots that Sundays, high school ends with everyone making the football is different. playoffs.

On the high school field, it’s easy to pick out the athletes who have a legitimate shot at playing at a higher level – but those standouts are the exception rather than the rule.

Most of the players on the field are there representing their school and their community, and playing at this level is the apex of their athletic achievement in the sport. They’re not playing for a future scholarship or a multi-million-dollar contract extension – they’re playing for their hometown, for the fans in the stands.

The Friday Night games are the centerpiece of the occasion, but the games are more than that – they’re community events.

There are few events that draw so large a cross section of their communities as a high school football game.

There’s the football players and their parents, of course, but also the color guards, marching bands, pom and cheerleading squads, and all the various other people who often come together to make a football game an event.

It’s the kind of place where if you show up and hang out for 15 minutes, you’ll probably run into someone you know. As you won’t be driving opposite directions in moving vehicles, you might even have a second to chat with them.

Of course, none of this would happen without the dedication of our local high school players and coaches, the schools that host the games and maintain the fields, and all the other people who perform, produce, or work behind the scenes.

We’d like to wish all our local teams and their fans a great 2016 season of exciting finishes, no lightning delays, and big 50/50 raffle jackpots that ends with everyone making the playoffs.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Zika, now a problem in the U.S. Ground zero for the Zika virus in the United States is now South Florida. The virus, which can cause severe fetal birth defects and other neural disorders, is spreading in a 20-block area of Miami Beach and another section of Miami known as Wynwood. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a warning to pregnant women to avoid both areas and to people more generally to be aware of the risks. Zika is a mosquito-borne virus that can also be transmitted through sex and blood. Although the symptoms may be mild in most people, a new report suggests that it may also affect adult brain cells.

In the United States and its territories, chiefly Puerto Rico, there are now more than 10,000 reported cases of Zika, including 1,220 pregnant women with lab-confirmed infections. Many of these were brought into the U.S by travelers, but local transmission is underway in Florida.

The children of pregnant women who contract Zika may develop

a severe form of brain damage called microcephaly, and in adults the virus may lead to Guillain-Barré syndrome.

For months, experts have not been shy about calling this a public-health emergency, which should be a clarion call to change behavior. For individuals, that means avoiding mosquitoes, and possibly postponing pregnancy. For Congress, it should mean providing the resources to combat the virus.

Local governments and public-health agencies are scrambling to control the spread, provide diagnostics, educate the public and search for a vaccine.

But instead of acting, Republican majorities in Congress have taken the emergency as another occasion to grandstand and squabble.

After President Barack Obama asked in February for nearly $1.9 billion in additional federal funding to fight the virus, a partisan fight broke out on Capitol Hill that stalled legislation. Republicans delayed, then

approved a far smaller amount with conditions they knew Democrats would not accept.

Then Congress went on its long summer recess.

Without the new money, the administration has been reprogramming existing funds intended for other vital public-health purposes. The delays on Capitol Hill are evidence of deep dysfunction. Could not a Congress that annually votes $580 billion a year for defense, and more than $40 billion for homeland security, approve a small fraction of those sums for the health and welfare of thousands of pregnant women and their babies? Isn’t health security part of national security?

The money will be particularly important for vaccine development, which requires clinical trials that can be costly and take time.

Congress ought to be embarrassed for starving the Zika budget in a purely political tiff.

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.

VIEWS Albert Hunt flicts involving the Clinton Foundation.

In this month’s Bloomberg Politics poll, 58 percent of voters said they were bothered “a lot” by potential conflicts involving the Clinton Foundation. And 53 percent felt that way about the e-mails.

She has exacerbated these problems in recent weeks. Last month, FBI director James Comey said there were no grounds to prosecute Clinton for using private e-mail, but called her “extremely careless” about handling sensitive information.

Yet Clintonland continues to rationalize. Clinton implied that Comey had declared that her response to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other public statements had been truthful. He didn’t; indeed he noted that while her testimony to the FBI was truthful, some of her public comments were not. Politifact, the nonpartisan fact checker, assessed her claim to be totally false.

The latest flap is the Clintons’ con-

tention that using the private e-mail was suggested by a predecessor, Colin Powell. There may have been a Powell suggestion – he says he doesn’t recall – but she decided to use the private system much more extensively and exclusively than Powell did. She didn’t do it for convenience; she did it for reasons of secrecy. Annoying Powell, who may well endorse her, was unnecessary.

As Comey noted, no reputable prosecutor would have brought a case against the former Secretary of State on this issue. But since being cleared of legal liability, she has fudged and shuffled. She says she made a mistake and regrets it, but then equivocates or rationalizes. It’s counterproductive.

She should cut her losses, turn over anything to appropriate authorities and move on.

On the Clinton Foundation, there are several realities. It has done fine work, saving lives. But by accepting contributions from foreign governments and wealthy interests at home, it creates the impression that favors are being traded. If she is elected, it will cast a shadow over the credibility of her presidency unless all family ties are severed.

Last week, Bill Clinton announced

that if his wife wins, he will step aside from the foundation and it no longer will take foreign or corporate money.

That still leaves open the possibility that their daughter, Chelsea, could run it and wealthy influence-seekers could donate.

“Her inadequate response to the conflicts of interest inherent in the Clinton Foundation,” the influential liberal columnist Jonathan Chait wrote last week in New York magazine, shows she “has not fully grasped the severity of her reputational problem.”

At the same time, I spoke with a prominent Clinton insider, a person of integrity and high ethical standards. He said shutting the Clinton Foundation would hurt millions of people around the world and would be giving in to right-wing critics who will find something else to seize on.

If severing family connections would hurt beneficiaries of the foundation’s philanthropy, here’s a solution worth considering: turn it over to the Carter Center, former President Jimmy Carter’s group, which also has done remarkable work.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Halfmast America

To the Editor: Witness quietly extended U.S. military deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq to preserve a lame-duck legacy while the world smolders beneath the carnage of Paris, Brussels, Nice and Munich.

With the death of professional journalism, evil flourishes here at home, where the rule of law does not apply to the ruling class, especially not at Department of State. Two profoundly flawed national caricatures stumble toward the most powerful elected office on the planet while global jihad descends upon Hometown U.S.A. Note flags regularly at half-mast across the fruited plain, then re-visit Fort Hood, San Bernardino, Chattanooga, Orlando, Dallas and Baton Rouge for confirmation.

Absent Twitter, Facebook and Snapchat, Americans would be forced to confront our country’s willful sprint towards Third World nation status fraught with fatally porous borders, deeply weakened military capabilities and a clueless population born of mindless denial and terminal indifference.

Jefferson alluded to an occasional Amer-

ican “revolution” to re-kindle the flame of liberty, purchased at frightful cost by those who have gone before. Nothing short of a genuine rebirth-renaissance of critical thought and citizen engagement will reverse this rush toward mediocrity and vulnerability in a dangerously volatile world; if not for ourselves, then most certainly for our posterity.

Hillary Clinton enjoys about a five-point polling lead over Donald Trump. One way to look at this is that it’s a margin, at this stage of a presidential race, that is rarely reversed.

Here’s another way. The Democrats had a successful convention; the Republicans didn’t. Clinton’s campaign has been smooth; Trump’s has careened between disasters. She has reached out to independents and Republicans; he has insulted the family of a soldier killed in Iraq, along with people with disabilities, Latinos and women. Clinton has outspent him 3 to 1.

And she’s ahead by only five percentage points.

Most political experts are confident she’ll win – the political website FiveThirtyEight’s election forecast, for example, pegs the probability at 77 percent or 85 percent, depending which measures are included. But the comparative closeness of the race underscores her problems.

Some of it reflects the polarization of American politics. But there also have been self-inflicted wounds that accentuate her struggle to win voters’ trust: the continuing controversy over her use of private e-mail while Secretary of State and potential con-

Sears moves to quarterly loss, sales keep faltering

By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO and MICHELLE CHAPMAN The Associated Press

HOFFMAN ESTATES – Sears posted a second-quarter loss, with perpetually weak sales overshadowing the retailer’s efforts to cut costs and slow its cash burn. CEO Edward Lampert’s hedge fund will forward the ailing chain $300 million in additional debt financing.

Shares in the owner of Sears and Kmart stores fell more than 6 percent in morning trading Thursday.

Traditional department stores such as Sears are trying to reinvent themselves as shoppers shift more of their purchases online, buy clothes at discounters and spend more on experiences. But Sears has dealt with weak sales for years, unable to keep up with competitors in appliances, such as Home Depot, or general merchandise, such as Wal-Mart, or everything, such as Amazon.com.

Sears posted sales declines across the board including in home appliances and lawn and garden tools. Competition is increasing, with J.C. Penney also bringing back major appliances such as refrigerators more than 30 years after abandoning the sector.

Given Sears’ weak performance and market share losses in many categories including appliances, Greg Melich, an analyst at investment banking advisory firm Evercore ISI, noted that the company “does not appear well-positioned for holiday or 2017.”

Lampert, who has long pledged to investors that a turnaround is in store, said in a statement that he believes the company is making progress, focusing

Customers shop July 5 at a Sears store in Salem, N.H. on its best stores and certain categories as well as enhancing its membership experience.

The company has tried to shift its focus from running a store network to a member-focused business. Loyal shoppers receive incentives to buy, but those moves haven’t gained much traction with consumers.

Chief Financial Officer Rob Schriesheim, who plans to leave the post but will remain as an adviser through January, said Sears still is looking at options for its Kenmore, Craftsman, DieHard and Sears Home Services business-

es by evaluating possible partnerships or other transactions. The company has said it believes the Kenmore, Craftsman and DieHard brands can grow significantly with an expanded presence outside Sears and Kmart.

Sears has been selling assets to raise cash and accelerating store closures.

In April, it said would close another 68 Kmarts and 10 Sears stores, or nearly 5 percent of its nearly 1,700 stores. In 2011, it operated 4,000 stores.

For the period ended July 30, Sears Holdings Corp. lost $395 million, or $3.70 per share. A year ago, it earned $208 mil-

lion, or $1.84 per share. Losses, adjusted for one-time costs, were $2.03 per share.

Revenue for the Hoffman Estates-based company dropped to $5.66 billion from $6.21 billion.

Total sales at stores open at least a year declined 5.2 percent. Sales at Kmart locations open at least a year fell 3.3 percent, while Sears same-store sales tumbled 7 percent. This figure is a key indicator of a retailer’s health because it excludes volatility from locations recently opened or closed.

Sears’ shares fell 94 cents to $13.76 in morning trading.

BOYLSTON, Mass. – The towering, whimsical shapes Patrick Dougherty creates by twisting and weaving sticks together have gained him an international following. Now, the artist who lives in a log cabin near Chapel Hill, North Carolina, is back in New England to build two more of his almost cartoon-like stick sculptures.

Since the early 1980s, Dougherty has constructed more than 270 installations around the globe, from Chiba, Japan, and Melbourne, Australia, to Honolulu, Los Angeles and Waco, Texas.

“A good sculpture is something that causes people to have personal associations,” Dougherty said in a recent interview. “It sparks all kinds of feelings about things in your own life.”

His fans agree. They often say his installations – soaring as high as 30 feet – conjure images of the Garden of Eden, a bird’s nest or a walk in the woods.

On Thursday, the artist’s newest installation is set to be unveiled at the 132-acre Tower Hill Botanic Garden in Boylston, Massachusetts, where visitors can walk the bucolic grounds that border the Wachusett Reservoir and view the sculpture.

A second installation was commissioned by the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, where Dougherty will be the artist in residence. Construction there is set to begin Sept. 4.

PARENTING

Teaching together

What teachers would like parents to know as students head back to school

By LEANNE ITALIE

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Keeping the lines of communication open between parents and teachers can be a challenge, especially in this era of crowded classrooms and time-crunched families. So many questions and issues go unspoken or unanswered.

So what would teachers like to express if they had more time to talk with parents?

Some of the issues aren’t easy to discuss – from institutional problems at schools, to tender subjects touching on children’s family life and abilities.

Here’s a sample:

Adjusting the sails

Sandi Bishop in suburban Seattle was a classroom teacher for 30 years in elementary and middle grades in North Dakota and Iowa. Her students ranged from urban to rural, poor to well-off.

Parents, she said, don’t realize how much teachers know about what goes on at home simply by interacting with kids.

“I’d like to remind parents that the environment at home comes to school,” she said. “If there is chaos at home, your child will come to school not ready to focus and learn. A phrase I often state is, some children come to school to be loved; loved children come to school to learn. As a teacher, you begin behavioral profiling much like the FBI does with suspects.”

Betsy Allison Tant in Knoxville, Tennessee, is a former teacher and mom of three.

As a teacher, she said, “I wanted parents to know that I’m teaching academics within the context of life.

If I don’t know what’s going on with a child or family, I can’t adjust the sails for those kids.”

As a parent, on the other hand, “I want teachers to respect my input.

When I say that there’s something going on that is impacting my child in a way that can change their performance, please believe me and adjust the sails.”

Carolyn Lee, a substitute teacher in Hawaii, agrees parents and teachers need to work together.

“No teacher, no matter how dedicated, experienced and hard-working, can make up for the lack of parental

A student prepares to leave the Enterprise Attendance Center, southeast of Brookhaven, Miss. Much can go unsaid between parents and teachers due to lack of time and opportunity, or the tender nature of some issues. Some teachers say they’d like parents to know how much home life bleeds into school. And they say they welcome more communication and trust. involvement in a child’s studies,” said Lee, who has taught kindergartners, fourth graders, high schoolers and college students, some as a tutor. “A parent is still the most influential teacher in a child’s life.”

Behind the scenes

Tim Cornillie in suburban Chicago taught high school English and other subjects both full and part time for seven years, through 2012. He wants parents to be aware of how far some schools stray from prioritizing academics.

“Schools put up a smoke screen of sports and extracurricular activities,” he said, and advises: “Do a quick survey of principals’ backgrounds, and you’ll see how little academics and how much sports have played a role in their careers.”

Falling through the cracks

Kimi Ordoubadian Abernathy, an

independent educational consultant in Nashville, Tennessee, has four grown sons and a teenage daughter. She has worked in admissions or college counseling for 24 years. Teachers, she said, often disregard or misunderstand the challenges of kids with social and emotional deficits.

“The way teachers dismiss a kid who can be irritating makes that kid fair game for the rest of the class at lunch, PE, recess, etcetera,” she said.

Among them are those kids mildly on the autism spectrum, who are falling through the cracks.

“If these kids did not have arms we would be all over them and prevent bullying. But often teachers say these kids ‘bring it on themselves,’” she said. “They need social support just to get to the academics. They don’t bring it on themselves. They have no clue what is going on. They ‘look normal’ so teachers often forget the degree to which they are handicapped.”

Attendance, trust

Andrew Price has been teaching math at an alternative high school in Portland, Oregon, for a year and a half. Parents, he said, should work on supporting good attendance from the start.

“If students already have attendance issues by the time they reach high school then there is little hope,” he said.

Price would like parents to recognize what he calls a paradigm shift in terms of teachers and trust: “It used to be that no matter what a kid said, parents would listen to an adult.

That is, if your neighbor said your kid was being bad and the kid denied it, the parents would trust the adult neighbor. The same thing was true for teachers.

“But now it seems that has changed,” he said. “Parents side with their students and don’t believe the teachers.”

The Washington Post

• Subscribe to print newspapers and magazines. Although much news-re-

lated reading in our family is done online, a printed version of the newspaper is delivered to our door every Sunday. The newspaper provides access to current events, news and

editorial content our teenagers may not otherwise encounter. I occasionally catch my kids leafing through them, reading bits and pieces as they eat breakfast or fill a few idle minutes waiting for their next scheduled activity.

• Schedule routine family meals.

When our family takes the time to enjoy a meal together, we share not only the food but also the events of the day, including conversations about the books we are reading. These conversations offer insight into what each family member is doing, learning and thinking about, and they bring us closer to each other.

• Listen to audiobooks. On our recent road trip, we spent 30 hours in our minivan. I had looked forward to the opportunity to listen to a good book with my husband, but never thought about requiring the kids to listen with us. I realized, upon stopping for a meal, our children also were listening. Check with your local library to borrow books to listen to on phones and other devices. Listen in the car or while engaged in other activities.

• Give books as gifts. Children learn to value the things adults value when they are presented as special treats.

Books can be given as gifts for birthdays and other occasions.

• Read (some) books your kids are reading. Books are more enjoyable

when we share conversations about them. Books for young adults are interesting and engaging, and we can learn much about our children’s worlds and values by reading what they read. We also can recommend our favorite books to our kids, as a way of sharing our preferences and ourselves.

• Create media-free zones. Establish family norms designating device-free times and places to encourage conversation, reading and other quiet activities.

My hope is through sharing experiences, as well as offering encouragement and opportunities to read, my older children will feel supported and empowered in their reading. I want them to understand having access to books, and time to enjoy them, is a pleasure and a privilege.

“I went on a really fun field trip today,” our son informed the family over dinner after a science trip to a local river. “We got to row, but not in actual racing shells.”

“Racing shells?” my husband inquired.

“Well, they were really just rowboats, but rowing with my friends reminded me of the book ‘The Boys in the Boat’ that we were listening to in the car.”

Daniel James Brown’s recent bestseller may not have yet made it onto the radar of most seventh-grade boys; it is certainly not a book my son would have chosen for himself. His introduction to the book and subsequent interest in rowing terminology were ignited during a family road trip. As we drove, my husband and I listened to an audio version of the story about nine young men from the University of Washington who competed in rowing in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. A few weeks after we got home, my son was making connections between what he had heard and events on his field trip.

Research consistently shows exten-

sive reading increases vocabulary and broadens knowledge and understanding of various topics. Most middle and high school students who would greatly benefit from reading more do not have the luxury of time to enjoy reading for pleasure.

I do not want to make reading yet another requirement, just one more item for my children to cross off their already overflowing to-do lists. Here is how I encourage my older children to read for enjoyment.

• Read physical books. I spend a significant amount of time reading a variety of material daily. However, this may not be clear to my children, because much of the reading I do is on electronic devices. Although reading books in an electronic format is convenient and easy, children need to see the people they look up to clearly engaged in positive reading habits.

That makes it critical for adults to read tangible books.

Metabolic rate affects weight loss Dear Dr. K: I heard about a recent study that explained why the “Biggest Losers” had trouble keeping the weight off. Can you explain?

Dear Reader: You’re likely referring to a study done at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

As many readers will recall, NBC television put on a competition reality show for several years, beginning in late 2004.

Extremely overweight people competed to see who could lose the most weight, through diet and exercise, over 30 weeks.

In summary, the competitors did a remarkable job of losing weight. But then they slowly gained most of it back.

Sound familiar? The study suggests one reason they had trouble keeping the weight off involves their resting metabolic rate.

What is resting metabolic rate, and how does it relate to body weight? Our weight is greatly affected by the balance between the calories we consume in food and the calories our body burns. Most people know that. What is not as well known is the efficiency with which our body burns calories can be quite different, varying from one person to the next.

You probably know people who seem to eat like a horse but are not overweight, and others who don’t eat much and do exercise, yet are overweight. The difference is the first group burns calories more readily. Their resting metabolic rate is higher.

What is even less well known is a person’s resting metabolic rate changes over time. For example, our brain sends signals that lower our metabolic rate when we lose weight. Why would that be?

It’s because our ancestors tens of thousands of years ago often were hungry,

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff often going days without food. The brain could slow the potentially dangerous loss of weight by telling the body to burn fewer calories.

Our genes today are not very different from those of our ancestors long ago. But in the developed nations, we’re almost all well-fed. More of us are overweight than underweight. The genes that protected our ancestors actually cause problems for us.

The recent study followed contestants in the “Biggest Loser” competition six years after the competition ended. Their average weight before the competition was 328 pounds. After the 30-week competition, it was 200 pounds. As expected, their metabolic rate had dropped as they lost weight.

The surprise: Six years later, their average weight was 290 pounds – but their metabolic rate had not gone back up as they regained those 90 pounds. As a result, they still were not burning many calories, making it harder not to regain weight.

The study offers one explanation for why weight loss during dieting usually cannot be maintained.

As research improves our understanding of what controls the metabolic rate, we may develop tools for helping achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

en who carry purses don’t think about this, just absentmindedly place them on the floor, a table, counter or chair.

However, for those who are concerned about the transfer of germs, there is a solution.

There are portable hooks they can carry with them that rest on a table or desk so the purse can be suspended if it has a handle. I have seen them advertised on the internet, and they are inexpensive.

DEAR ABBY friend “Virginia” and I have Jeanne known each othPhillips er for 11 years.

Five years ago, she went into renal failure and was on dialysis for three years. It was hard on her, and she needed a kidney transplant. Her three healthy siblings refused to be tested as a possible match.

Virginia is on the young side, and she was in such a bad way I agreed to be tested. After several procedures, it was determined I was a “close enough” match, so we decided to go for it.

It has been 18 months now, and I have not seen or heard from Virginia since the day after the surgery. I called her a few times to make sure she was doing well. She never returned my calls and has completely dropped out of my life. She lives only four blocks away, so I know things are going OK for her. I haven’t heard from her family, either. They visited Virginia at the hospital, but didn’t stop in to see me just three rooms away.

How could I have been so wrong about someone I knew for so long? My husband says Virginia is an idiot and I should let it go. My therapist says I’ll have to “adjust to the injustice.” I never expected to lose my friend along with my kidney. Can you please help me handle this? – Blindsided In New York Dear Blindsided: I can see why you are hurt by the abrupt change in your friend’s behavior.

The knee-jerk reaction of someone who hasn’t been through this would be to say what unfeeling and ungrateful people Virginia and her family are, because you literally saved her life.

However, it may help you to better understand what has happened if you consider while you saved Virginia’s life, sometimes the burden of gratitude is more than someone can bear. For whatever reason, she might carry some guilt about owing you as much as she does, which is why she no longer can interact with you.

As to her family, that none of her siblings were willing to be tested as possible matches for her speaks volumes about them and the quality of their relationships, so stop feeling slighted.

Dear Abby: Why is it when women visit, they’ll take their handbag and put it on the kitchen counter, on the kitchen table or dining room table? Their handbags have been on as many floors as my shoes. If someone needs to put a handbag down, it should be placed on the floor, where it most likely was previously. –

Wasco Estate of Pat Collins Ben Bernanke, a former chairman of the Federal Reserve, said, “My proposal that Fed governors should signal their commitment to public service by wearing Hawaiian shirts and Bermuda shorts has so far gone unheeded.”

Bridge defenders should signal to each other and try to make the signals as conspicuous as a Hawaiian shirt or a miniskirt in a Middle Eastern bazaar. But at times they need to be careful -- as in this deal.

South is in three no-trump. After West leads his lowest heart, what should happen?

South does not like to respond one no-trump with only one heart stopper, but with seven points, he should do something positive. North, looking at seven sure tricks, should have no compunction in jumping to three no-trump. Why look at five clubs, where 11 tricks are needed for game, when nine will do in notrump?

If you did not support partner’s bid suit, lead low from length even without an honor in the suit. Giving length information is more important than strength information.

Since South must have the heart king for his one-no-trump response, if East takes the first trick with the heart ace and continues with the heart queen, South will win that trick and run for home, taking the spade finesse if he needs a ninth trick to go with one spade, one heart and six clubs.

East must hope that his side can immediately take four diamond tricks. He wins with his heart ace and shifts to the diamond ace or queen.

West does have the diamond king, so should signal his enthusiasm, but it must be muted with the six, not the nine.

akantecki@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Even after Cary-Grove dropped the first set against McHenry on Thursday, the Trojans believed their hard work would pay off.

“We still knew that we had it,” sophomore libero Kate Selsky said. “We practiced for this all preseason. We’re going to be down sometimes, but you’ve got to fight back sometimes no matter what.”

C-G was unable to come back and beat Prairie Ridge in its season opener Tuesday, but Thursday showed that the Trojans would still be a major player in the Fox Valley Conference race – even after graduating six seniors from their Class 4A state semifinal team.

C-G rebounded from its first-set letdown, jumping out to early leads in the final two sets and never trailing again in a 24-26, 25-17, 25-11 FVC win at McHenry East.

Senior outsider hitter Maddy Katchen led the Trojans (1-1 overall, 1-1 FVC) with 11 kills, senior Becca Elrod added eight, and freshman Evynn Layshock had five. Junior setter Amber Olson finished with 23 assists, and sophomore Erica Anderson had a team-high three aces.

“We had a lot to come back from,” said Selsky, who led the team with 14 digs. “We really showed a lot against [Prairie Ridge], but we knew we had a lot more to show everyone. [McHenry] put up a great match. They have some great hitters and some hard balls, but we really came together.”

Trojans coach Patty Langanis made a lineup change after the first set to keep Selsky on the court for six rotations. Another difference was the emergence of Layshock and Cassie Ploof, helping to diversify the offense, Langanis said.

“A lot more people were putting the ball away when we had an opportunity,” said Katchen, one of two team captains. “Everybody was being smart and everyone was giving everything they could.”

Layshock, a 5-foot-10 right-side hitter, came up big in the third set with four kills.

“I’m just happy to be on the team, and

McHenry, which entered with rising confidence after beating Crystal Lake South, was led by senior Ava Pauly with 10 kills and two blocks. Paige Manssen had 21 assists and nine digs, Gabriella DePersio and Paige Hale each had 10 digs, and Isidora Visnjevac had two aces.

“I think really it’s a piece of the culture that we’re trying to build, and believing that we can win,” second-year Warriors coach Lexi Disselhorst said.

“We belong in the gym, and we can compete with these teams in the conference.

Give it to Cary-Grove, too. They picked up on our weaknesses and just took it to us.”

Olalere Oladipo is joined by his mother, Adeola (left), and sister, Olayeni, on Thursday at Huntley High School before announcing he will play college football at Illinois. questions. My mom called a couple coaches and wrote things down. We sat down and looked at it. We ultimately chose Illinois as the best fit for me.”

Zimolzak said Oladipo was not even a starter at the beginning of last season as he learned about defensive line play, but he quickly earned a spot on the Fox Valley Conference’s most dominant defense.

Oladipo vaulted onto the radar of numerous D-I schools this year when CBS Sports analyst Tom Lemming included him on “The Lemming Report.” Oladi-

po eventually pared the list to six: Illinois, California, Duke, Indiana, Michigan State and Penn State.

On Thursday, caps from Illinois, Indiana and Penn State were lined up on the table as Oladipo reached over and grabbed the Illinois cap and put it on.

“Defensive line was a natural fit for him,” Zimolzak said. “He’s really progressed a lot since he moved there. It’s his dedication and perseverance. We kind of let him loose a little bit (later last season).”

Oladipo thanked his defensive line

Oladipo’s journey wasn’t always laughing matter The microphone wouldn’t work, but Olalere Oladipo didn’t care. Huntley’s soft-spoken, 6-foot-4 defensive end raised his voice.

This was his moment.

Oladipo thanked many people Thursday before committing to play college football for Lovie Smith at Illinois. In front of friends, family and teammates, he even elicited a laugh.

“I started off as a receiver,” Oladipo said midway through his thank yous.

“And that didn’t work out.”

Oladipo and his teammates shared in the hilarity of that journey. Not much more than a year ago, this 250-pound teenager who will play defensive end in the Big Ten next year was a 200-pound receiver struggling to make his mark.

For Oladipo, that journey wasn’t always so funny.

After playing running back in middle school, Oladipo shifted to receiver in high school.

“In my head, I wanted to be that all-star wide receiver, and it wasn’t happening,” Oladipo said Thursday.

VIEWS Sean Hammond He was athletic, that has always been true – he plays basketball, too.

As a freshman, when the sophomore quarterback went down with an injury, Huntley brought Oladipo up to take snaps.

Teammate and close friend Sam Pitrone remembers when Oladipo was pulled up.

“I was down with the freshman squad,” Pitrone said. “From what I’ve heard, it was a train wreck. But he’s so athletic you just want to put him anywhere. You could tell he’s a freak athlete. When we were younger he was still as tall as he is (now).”

Oladipo didn’t have to throw the ball much during his brief stint at quarterback.

“It was more like, ‘Say hike and run with the ball,’ ” he said.

It was a failed experiment, and

Oladipo went back to receiver. The true test came between his sophomore and junior seasons, when he was trying to make the varsity squad but still couldn’t catch the ball consistently.

Pitrone remembers one time during practice when receivers coach Mike Naymola laid into Oladipo. Oladipo had had enough.

“Oh, I’ll just quit then,” Pitrone remembers Oladipo saying.

“It was frustrating to watch,” Pitrone said. “I knew he had so much more in him.”

Oladipo himself said he considered quitting football and focusing on basketball. Former Huntley football coach John Hart had a talk with him.

“He kept it real with me and said, ‘I don’t see you getting much playing time as a receiver,’ ” Oladipo said. “If you make that transition to defensive end, you’ll see time and maybe even start.

“I’m really thankful to Coach Hart for that.”

Fast forward a full season at defensive end – a season in which he had 45

tackles, 13 tackles for loss, 61/2 sacks and two safeties – to February of this year.

Oladipo had something to tell Pitrone.

“I remember sitting in this lunch room” – the same one where Oladipo committed Thursday – “when he came up to me and told me he got an offer from the University of Illinois,” Pitrone said. “I didn’t believe him. I was like, ‘You’re joking, right?’

“We went to the library and I helped him make his little collage to put on Twitter.”

With every offer, Pitrone congratulated his friend until it was at the point where Pitrone was used to it. In all, Oladipo amassed 22 Division I offers.

It was all very real Thursday as Oladipo hugged his family and friends, orange and blue ball cap atop his head.

It’s still a little bit hard to believe.

“I don’t even know what to say,” Oladipo said. “It was a sigh of relief.”

HUNTLEY – Adeola Oladipo never imagined this moment for her son a year ago.

At that point, Olalere Oladipo was a Huntley junior transitioning to the defensive line, unknown to college football coaches.

“I wasn’t even thinking of this,” Adeola said. “He was doing it because he loved football. He just wanted to play, but everything evolved and came to this. I wasn’t expecting this. I can’t thank God enough.”

On Thursday, the eve of Huntley’s season opener against Jacobs, Oladipo sat with Red Raiders coach Matt Zimolzak, his mother and sister Olayeni and announced he is accepting a scholarship offer to play football at Illinois.

Oladipo, a 6-foot-4, 245-pound defensive end, accrued 22 NCAA Division I scholarship offers before deciding on Illinois. Although the Fighting Illini were the first to offer, that came from the previous coaching staff. Oladipo and his mother liked new coach Lovie Smith even more, which was the final deciding factor. “[Sorting through 22 offers] was definitely hard,” Oladipo said. “You talk to all the coaches, ask them all the same

coach Brad Aney, the defensive linemen, including Caleb Jones and Tyler Hartline, and guard Justin Domingo, who he battles each day in practice. He especially thanked Jones for helping teach him more about defensive end play.

“It’s amazing to play with him,” said Jones, who has been in contact with some D-II schools. “It was great to help him and know someone who is committed to a D-I college. The main point for our defense is the line, and we definitely want to put some pass rush on (Jacobs quarterback) Chris Katrenick in this game and in other games, too.”

Jones said Oladipo, in his second season on the line, has picked up end techniques quicker than he did those at tackle.

“I never thought I’d be in this position,” Oladipo said. “It was crazy. I’m really thankful all you guys came out to support me. It’s been a long ride.”

The Oladipos felt a connection with Smith, the former Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach from the NFL. Smith was fired by the Bucs after last season but hired by new Illinois athletic director Josh Whitman in March. “[Smith] is very supportive,” Adeola said. “I believe he is the same to all the people he’s trying to recruit to the school. I see him as a very good coach.”

C-G vs. PR in Week 1 pits area’s top 2 players The matchup between a pair of traditional football powers that went to playoff semifinal games last year, open the season tied at No. 3 in The Associated Press poll and figure to contend for the Fox Valley Conference title needs no assistance being more attractive.

Yet when Prairie Ridge and CaryGrove kick off at 7 p.m. Friday at C-G’s Al Bohrer Field, there will be a certain bonus appeal. Not only are they two of the area’s best teams, they are led by the area’s two best players.

Prairie Ridge junior quarterback Samson Evans was electrifying as a sophomore, leading an explosive offense and eventually earning Northwest Herald Player of the Samson Evans Year honors. C-G senior fullback-linebacker Tyler Pennington was runner-up to Evans for Player of the Year but was named as Northwest Herald Male Athlete of the Year in June.

Tyler By extrapolating Pennington their numbers, Pennington and Evans could end their careers among the IHSA’s top 10 career rushers, making them not only the area’s two best current players, but two of the best ever.

“You see both guys, they do it in a little different way,” Prairie Ridge coach Chris Schremp said. “Pennington is grinding out the yardage, and Samson tends to do his more in big chunks. It’s a neat dynamic to see different players getting, a lot of times, a similar positive result.”

Both Schremp and Trojans coach Brad Seaburg said they may not fully appreciate seeing Evans and Pennington until much later in the season.

“At the end of the season is when you kind of look back and say, ‘Wow, that was really something,’ ” Seaburg said. “I think that goes on any year. You sometimes don’t realize moments until after the season is over.”

Evans and Pennington have not met off the field but have a mutual respect for one another.

“Our teammates look to us for leadership,” Evans said. “Last year, we both had a big impact on the season.

This year, we have to get our steps for the backs and get the right reads and make sure we have a solid block on [Pennington], so he doesn’t wreak havoc with us.”

Pennington did not play a lot of defense against Prairie Ridge in last year’s opener, a game the Trojans

PREP ZONE Joe Stevenson won, 21-14. The Wolves did not lose again until their Class 6A semifinal against Montini. “[Evans] is a great player from what I hear and what I’ve seen,” Pennington said. “I have a lot of respect for him – he deserves all the recognition he gets. I know he’s fast and a big playmaker. If we can contain him, I guess, that’s probably as good as we can do with him.”

Both players made an impact on varsity as freshmen. Pennington took over at fullback in C-G’s option in his fourth varsity game and still reached 1,000 rushing yards.

Evans, playing split end in the Wolves’ option offense, scored touchdowns four ways (rushing, receiving, kick and punt return) within his first five games.

“Where Tyler goes, this team will go,” Seaburg said. “When you have a guy with his mileage, it really means a lot. The guys really follow him, he’s a great guy to follow. He’s really what you look for as a coach, he’s got humility, he has a ton of talent and he always puts the team first.”

Schremp is thrilled to have Evans around for two more seasons to run the option.

“Anytime the ball’s in his hands, he can score,” Schremp said. “There’s not a lot of players you can say that about.

He’s so talented and can make something out of nothing. You have to be a pretty special player to do that. We’re going to need him to make some plays, if there’s any team that knows the option, it’s going to be [C-G].”

The teams mirror each other somewhat. Both are masterful running the option, although each add different nuances. Both play 3-3-5 defenses predicated on speed and not reliant on size.

C-G won the Class 6A state championship in 2009, Prairie Ridge won it in 2011. C-G was 6A runner-up in 2012 and 7A runner-up in 2014.

If Kankakee Daily Journal reporter Steve Soucie’s preseason projections are accurate, C-G will drop to 6A for the playoffs and these two could meet again, perhaps in a quarterfinal or semifinal.

“There’s so many great players out there Friday night on both sides,” Seaburg said.

Led by two of the area’s best in this season or in any other.

Keep eyes on Bears’ lines, secondary vs. Chiefs LAKE FOREST – It is hard to know when and exactly why the third exhibition games of the four-game NFL preseason became the “All-Important Third Preseason Game.”

There are of course the occasional outliers around the league such as Bill Belichick, who has in some seasons given starters extended playing time in the final exhibition game.

But for the most part, it has become standard practice across the league to build throughout the preseason to the third exhibition, in which the starters get by far the most snaps of the four practice games, and then won’t even dress most of the starters for Week 4 as teams taper down to mend the bumps and bruises of training camps and build back fresh legs for the regular-season opener.

I asked Bears coach John Fox on Thursday whether he will put extra weight in his players’ evaluations on their performances Saturday against the Chiefs.

“You know, not much. It’ll be the most extended play of the starters we have available will play,” he said.

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush “We’ve got some guys that we’ve evaluated on a lot of football plays before the third preseason game, so albeit it is important, we have a pretty good idea about some of our players.

“I feel good about where we are.

We get an opportunity to look at some different guys, maybe even in different positions, which is all part of getting through an NFL season.”

The key element of that answer is when Fox said, “We have a pretty good idea about some of our players,” and that was amplified by what he said when I asked whether this game is more important to the guys fighting for those 46th through 53rd roster spots.

“No, I think we know them better.

big time, Kevin White needs to make some plays and be more of a solid NFL wideout than an exciting prospect.

With Jacquizz Rodgers seemingly a sure thing to make the team, either Ka’Deem Carey or Jordan Howard needs to take this opportunity to earn the second or third running back spot.

Although it would be nice to see LB Leonard Floyd make a few plays, the defensive unit to focus on Saturday is the secondary.

We know who and what the front seven will be made of, but while Tracy Porter, Kyle Fuller (when healthy), Adrian Amos, Harold Jones-Quartey and Bryce Callahan (nickel) seem destined to be the Week 1 starters, only Porter seems certain to still be there by October.

If Jacoby Glenn, De’Vante Bausby, Deon Bush, Deiondre’ Hall, DeAndre Houston-Carson and Kevin Peterson have statements to make, Saturday will be the time to make them.

third,” he said.

The Bears’ game with the Chiefs may be the “All Important Third Preseason Game,” but in Fox’s world, it will have no extra effect on how he already views his players.

What could be critical is when Fox says, “We get an opportunity to look at some different guys, maybe even in different positions.”

I would keep a particularly close eye on the offensive and defensive lines and the secondary against the Chiefs, and look for tackles playing guard and guards playing center or vice versa, the defensive line for DTs playing DE and vice versa, and the secondary for corners playing safety, safeties playing corner and new guys in the slot, and you probably will be able to identify players fighting to land safely off the roster bubble.

Although they will be without one of the game’s premier pass rushers in Justin Houston, the Chiefs are one of the better rush teams in the league.

How the Bears’ offensive line handles them without Kyle Long will be big.

Harrison, Matthews, Peppers talk PEDs with NFL investigators

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison and Green Bay Packers defensive players Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers met this week with NFL investigators looking into allegations linking them to performance-enhancing drugs, the players’ union said Thursday.

Matthews and Peppers met with league representatives Wednesday, while Harrison did so Thursday, according to the NFL Players Association.

Last week, the league threatened Harrison, Matthews, Peppers and free-agent Mike Neal with indefinite suspensions if they did not meet with investigators. All of them were mentioned in an Al-Jazeera TV interview with Charlie Sly, who worked as an intern at an anti-aging clinic. In the December report, Sly made claims of PED use by several athletes, including Harrison, Peyton Manning and the three others, but later recanted his claims.

12 CUBS

Dawson: ‘Flip a coin’ on Bryant or Rizzo for MVP 1 THROUGH 9 1. Cubs: They’re ripping through

VIEWS Steve Greenberg Kris Bryant is having a massive month at the plate, batting .366 with an OPS of 1.131 in August. If you believe in what oddsmakers are putting out there, Bryant seems to be the leading candidate in the National League MVP race.

But it’s only late August. The Nationals’ Daniel Murphy, the Rockies’ Nolan Arenado and the Dodgers’ Corey Seager still are in it.

Let’s see, did we leave anybody out?

Of course, Anthony Rizzo – who has 10 hits in five games on the Cubs’ current road trip – is very much in it, too.

The way the 1987 NL MVP sees it, neither Cubs star has established an edge over the other yet.

“This team, offensively, was built around Rizzo,” said Andre Dawson, now in his 16th year in the Marlins’ front office. “But Bryant has come in and brought so much versatility. You can’t picture this team having the success it has had with one or the other out of the lineup.”

Dawson swatted 49 home runs and drove in 137 runs in 1987, becoming the first player on a last-place team to win MVP. Neither Bryant nor Rizzo will match those numbers this season, yet one certainly could finish stronger than the other.

“Right now, you can really flip a coin with those two guys,” Dawson

THREE UP/DOWN Up: A little more than a week ago,

we were telling you how poorly Addison Russell was hitting on the road.

Six games into the current trip, all he has is seven hits – five of them home runs – and nine RBIs. The 22-year-old shortstop is batting .304 in August and is four RBIs shy of a new single-month high for his career.

Down: Jason Heyward has had some terrible offensive months before.

In 2010, he batted .181 in June after being NL Rookie of the Month in both April and May. A year later, he had a 4-for-41 (.098) May. In 2013, he hit .121 in April and .178 in May. Yet those numbers came with the Braves. Who’s supposed to care about that? To Cubs fans, Heyward’s current .197 August likely seems beyond-thepale bad.

Up: Ben Zobrist is heating up again, right on time. He’s 10 for 23 (.435) with two doubles, a triple and six runs scored on the current road trip.

There’s room for an old dude in this everyday lineup after all.

August with a record of 18-4. Combined score in those 18 victories: 100-33.

2. Rangers: The bullpen is shaky, yet they’re 28-8 in one-run games. Bottom line, this team is clutch.

3. Dodgers: What they’re doing – building a lead in the NL West despite having used 14 different starting pitchers this season – never ceases to impress.

4. Nationals: Crushed by the Orioles on the field; reeling at Stephen Strasburg disabled list news off it.

5. Blue Jays: Concurrent DL stints for Kevin Pillar and Jose Bautista didn’t rock the boat badly at all.

6. Red Sox: David Ortiz is ridiculously hot, but the team needs Xander Bogaerts to pull himself out of his monthlong offensive funk.

7. Indians: Corey Kluber hasn’t lost a start in nearly eight weeks. Danny Salazar, on the other hand, has gone only 11 innings in his past four starts.

8. Orioles: Like the Jays and Red Sox, they have a good shot at a wildcard spot if they can’t win the AL East.

But who’s thinking about that “if”?

9. Cardinals: They’re under .500 at home – weird, isn’t it? – yet no team, not even the Cubs, can match their 14-games-over mark on the road.

WHITE SOX

Brass has a course of direction

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com CHICAGO – White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said he, vice president Ken Williams and chairman Jerry Reinsdorf “have a sense of what we want to do” this offseason and, refuting speculation the front office triumvirate wasn’t on the same page before the trade deadline, said they “are of a similar mindset” as to what exactly that is as the team plays out what could be its fourth consecutive losing season.

“We’ve had a number of conversations about the best way to approach the offseason and what we want to accomplish,” Hahn said Thursday.

Most signs point to an offseason rebuild that could involve trading premium assets such as All-Star left-handers

Frazier’s single in 9th lifts Sox

CHICAGO – Todd Frazier tied it with a two-run single in the seventh inning and won it with a line drive down the left-field line in the ninth to lift the White Sox to a 7-6 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Thursday night.

Adam Eaton led off the ninth with a bloop single off Nick Vincent (3-4) and went to second on Tim Anderson’s sacrifice. Jose Abreu was walked intentionally before Frazier’s liner over third scored Eaton.

– The Associated Press Chris Sale and Jose Quintana. With too few young position players on the roster and no impact prospects coming soon from the farm system, Sale or Quintana – or both – could bring a significant haul in return. Both are under

contract control for multiple seasons and their value will be heightened by a thin free-agent market for pitching.

“Everything is on the table. Absolutely,” Hahn said, talking to reporters in the Sox’s dugout before the 60-65 team opened a four-game series against the playoff-contending Seattle Mariners.

Hahn, Williams and Reinsdorf are “looking at every angle how best to get ourselves in a sustainable position going forward, and that includes the extreme of going to a rebuild.” He’s not tipping his hand about which direction they’re leaning out of respect for the current team and staff, but Hahn said, “By the time we make our first or second transaction, publicly it will be fairly clear as to our direction. And while we aren’t going to say, ‘Next on our list is this,’ it will be obvious what we’re trying to accomplish.”
