Four-lane stretch of Route 14 should have 55 mph speed limit Construction work has been going on for more than a year on the six miles of Route 14 between Woodstock and Crystal Lake, and the highway is going to be magnificent when it is done.

I drive to Crystal Lake often enough to be inconvenienced by road construction, but not often enough to be driven to distraction. Route 14 used to be two clogged lanes of heavy traffic between Woodstock and Crystal Lake, what with Crystal Lake or Woodstock being the major destination points.

For years, the plan was to build four lanes for traffic, and it finally got underway last year and it should be completed by this fall. Construction crews are in the final stages of work, and I salute them for doing a good job.

I go to Crystal Lake at least once a week on average, so I have been able to see the construction progress nicely, if slowly. Much of the highway is curbed, and it has wide shoulders. A grassy median strip divides the opposite lanes of traffic for much of the way, ensuring safety.

The posted speed limit has been 45 mph through much of the construction zone, with the lying warning that the speed limit is photo enforced and the not-lying warning that traffic tickets for speeding in construction zones are heavy. Photo enforcement is a white lie designed to protect construction workers.

But people seem to be obeying the 45 mph limit, as traffic generally moves along at that clip or a little slower. No one wants to injure a construction worker.

Not so long ago, traffic was opened in the opposite lanes, making full use of the median, if not full use of the four lanes. Orange construction barrels have been in place keeping traffic out of the second passing lane. I’m not sure why, but I suspect it is to keep traffic from moving too fast.

One of the best safety improvements along the way to Crystal Lake is the stoplight that has been added at Lucas Road by McHenry County College. The main entrance to the college had a stoplight, but the heavy traffic merging onto or across Route 14 at Lucas Road didn’t, and drivers were taking their lives in their hands negotiating that intersection. By moving the stoplight to Lucas Road, the main entrance to MCC has been moved, although you still can make a left-hand turn into MCC where the stoplights used to be. You just can’t make a left turn out of MCC toward Crystal Lake there anymore.

Another great addition is the bicycle path along Route 14. It starts at the bicycle path at MCC and heads into Woodstock. When

VIEWS Dick Peterson plans were first announced, the path stopped something like a quarter of a mile short of Lake Avenue in Woodstock where it would hook up with another path. A bicycling group protested, advocating for the bike path to go all the way to Lake Avenue where Wal-Mart is, so bicyclists weren’t thrown into traffic. And advocacy actually worked, and the path was extended. Will wonders never cease? There’s not many cases of government bending to the will of a vocal minority like that.

But not all good things are great all-around.

Maybe a month ago, I noticed a single sign posting the speed limit on this stretch of Route 14. It wasn’t a slow-down-this-is-a-constructionzone sign, but a sign that stood alone, posting a speed limit of 45 mph. It didn’t seem as big as a regular speed-limit sign but the intention nonetheless concerns me. Transportation planners might be settling on the idea that 45 mph should be the posted speed limit for the four-lane, super-safe Route 14. Which is ridiculous.

I think the speed limit used to be 50 mph on most of the road when it was two lanes. Now that it’s four lanes, the speed limit is going to be reduced to 45 mph? It doesn’t make sense. If anything, the speed limit should be 55 mph, as it is through Woodstock.

Confirming my suspicions was longtime letter-writer Stan Perrin of Crystal Lake, who wrote a few weeks back about the speed limit on Route 14. I’ve been reading Stan’s letters for 20 or 25 years, and while I don’t agree with him on everything, he is dead-on here. He blames it on “Springfield IDOT bureaucrats … without public input or discussion with local government.”

You’ve got it right, Stan.

If any road was meant for 55 mph – or at least the original 50 mph – it’s new and improved Route 14. Let’s hope that 45 mph sign is just another reminder of construction-zone traffic speed.

I’m ready to zip along between Woodstock and Crystal Lake in the safety of four lanes of traffic. Forty-five? Pshaw.

NO ‘TURNAROUND’ YET Delving into whether Rauner’s agenda Voice your opinion

would work and its chances at approval

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

A

kcraver@shawmedia.com

McHenry County Board vote last year to approve a symbolic resolution to support Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s “Turnaround Agenda” became a major legal weight around the board’s neck.

Local labor unions that call Rauner’s support for right-to-work laws an assault on the working class protested the vote, and one union took the County Board to court, alleging that board members who met with Rauner before the vote violated the Open Meetings Act. While the County Board settled the lawsuit and revoked its symbolic resolution, another head-

ache continued in the form of a state investigation, sparked by that very same union, into whether board members work enough to qualify for their pensions.

Of all the facets to the agenda on which Rauner ran in 2014, the ones seeking to curtail collective bargaining and reform prevailing wage laws are by far the most contentious, especially in a state like Illinois where public-sector unions wield tremendous political clout. That clout, and the Democratic Party holding supermajorities in both houses of the General Assembly, make these proposed changes problematic at best.

Politics aside, would these proposals work and provide tax relief, and do they have a chance

of approval? The answer, of course, depends on who you ask.

What it means

Rauner’s proposal would allow for the creation of right-to-work laws at the local level through “employee empowerment zones” that would give workers – public sector, private or both – the right to voluntarily join or refrain from joining a union, and would forbid requiring joining or paying union-related dues as a condition for employment. The zones either

Village asking Huntley Outlet Center to maintain, find best use for property

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Caution signs with the words “slippery” and “trip hazard” written on them line the sidewalks at the Huntley Outlet Center.

Liquidation sale signs hang in the windows of soon-to-be empty stores in the mall, which was sold in April and had been losing tenants for more than a year.

There are only a handful of businesses left, Huntley Village Manager Dave Johnson said, and the mall is expected to be cleared out by early 2017, at the latest.

Many of the stores aren’t looking to relocate in the village, he said.

“I think there’s a lot of discussion that needs to take place with the owners yet of the highest and best use for the property,” Johnson said.

The property was bought by Huntley Investment Partners LLC, which consists of California-based Craig Realty Group, Chicago’s Prime Group Inc. and Elgin’s Capital Realty and Development.

Simon Property Group previously

owned the parcel that was developed by Prime Group Inc. in 1994.

Although suggestions for the property have been proposed by developers, the village has asked them to go back to the drawing board, Johnson said.

He said he hopes “sooner rather than later” there will be a concept for the property, which is falling into disrepair, that can be discussed at the village board meetings.

“Having that property in its current condition at the front door to our community is far from ideal,” Johnson said of the site that sits at the northeast corner of Route 47 and I-90.

In February 2016, the village filed an ordinance complaint regarding the property, citing concerns including damaged sidewalks and parking lots, rusted light poles, crumbled brick and unmaintained landscaping, according to a document provided by Village Attorney John Cowlin.

“When you get into the issues of public safety, that’s the prime concern for the village, is to make sure that the public is protected,” Cowlin said.

He said the problems will likely be resolved at a hearing in October.

Rich Turasky, president of Capital Companies, LLC, and Lake in the Hills resident, brought together the group of property owners who bought the property in April.

“We’ve met with the village several times to find out from them what they would like to see happen there, so we’re doing a lot of due diligence and investigating a lot of uses that would go well there,” Turasky said.

Previously he has said a hotel or industrial use was considered for the 77acre property.

There will be a major overhaul of the property, Turasky said, so it wouldn’t work for them to work around the existing tenants.

As for the property maintenance problems, Turasky said, those were passed on by the previous owners, and the on-site property manager is attending to all the needs of the tenants on a daily basis.

“Obviously, some of those code violations there now will be gone,” Turasky said.

Lake in the Hills Summer Sunset Festival keeps growing

Count on Me...

Bob Sharp

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – Thousands of local families showed up Saturday for the second day of the 2016 Lake in the Hills Summer Sunset Festival.

The three-day festival, at Lake in the Hill’s Sunset Park, started Friday and will continue on Sunday.

With 75-degree weather, a blue sky and a light breeze, it was a beautiful day for local residents to attend. Saturday’s activities began with a parade where bands, martial arts groups and parade floats marched down Miller Road.

After the parade came to an end, the festival’s carnival grounds opened to the public featuring attractions provided

by Windy City Amusements.

Classic fair foods were available to buy at the event including funnel cakes, elephant ears, cotton candy, deepfried Twinkies and Oreos. Right next to the food tents were game booths where kids could pop balloons or knock over bottles to try and win prizes. As for music, two-man band HiFi Superstar Unplugged took the stage first to kick off the day’s musical entertainment.

Festival co-chairman Ray Bogdanowski said he’s seen the festival expand since it began 16 years ago.

“Over the years we’ve added more entertainment for attendees, like the wine-tasting tent or the kids tent,” Bogdanowski said. “Those were things that weren’t there when the festival first started and now they are big hits.”

...We Take the Time to Know You

Matt Borek, 13, and Dylan Cangelosi, 13, of Lake in the Hills chow down on a funnel cake Saturday at the festival.

Lake in the Hills resident Georgianne Dickey, who was with her husband and daughter, said she has been attending the festival ever since it started.

“We’ve lived here for 17 years [and] it absolutely has grown over the years,” Dickey said. “It’s a must-attend event in Lake in the Hills every year.”

The carnival will open up again Sunday at noon. Sunday also will feature a bags tournament, more musical acts and fireworks to mark the end of this year’s event.

umentation for time outside the board room can be something of a challenge.

Elected officials under IMRF rules can count hours spent on preparing for meetings, meeting with constituents and employees, and attendance at civic functions in an official capacity. Time spent commuting to meetings or being “on call” for constituents cannot be counted.

Franks, who is running for McHenry County Board chairman against Republican board member Michael Walkup, R-Crystal Lake, said he was angry with the investigation’s results, given that board members did not provide any of the requested documentation. If elected chairman, he said, he will ask IMRF to come back and have board members who will not sign affidavits for those past years removed from the system.

“It’s incomprehensible to me that these guys did not cooperate with the investigation … it’s an outrage against every taxpayer in this county, and I’m not going to let this go,” said Franks, D-Marengo.

Talk with students about alcohol, sex before they go to college Heading off to college means the first taste of freedom for young adults. With it comes to making important decisions about alcohol and sex.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that all college-bound freshmen receive a preventive health examination and recommended vaccines. This visit offers an opportunity to talk with your pediatrician of the effects of alcohol and drugs on decisions about safe, consensual sex.

About 1,825 college students die each year from alcohol-related accidents. In addition, binge drinking—consuming more than four alcoholic drinks in a row for females and more than five for males—affects college students’ grades.

Sexual abuse also is more likely when drinking, making it important for students to be aware of the risks of unprotected sex.

According to the AAP, sexuality education prevents and reduced teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. This knowledge can help students make positive and safe choices about healthy relationships, responsible sexual activity and reproductive health.

The AAP urges parents to have a two-way conversation about sex with their teenagers. If parents are comfortable talking about sexual health, teenagers are more likely to seek reproductive health services, such as birth control. Sexually active teens should use birth control methods that protect against pregnancy and diseases spread by bacteria and viruses. The AAP offers more information about teens’ use of birth control at HealthyChildren.org. Teens can also visit a gynecologist to discuss sexual health and different kinds of birth control methods.

Your student may need a few booster shots before heading to college, including meningococcal, pertussis, influenza and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines. The HPV vaccine has been available for over a decade and protects against certain cancers. It is recommended for both males and females.

Group B meningococcal vaccine has been introduced to the United States this summer and is highly recommended for teenagers going to college.

Make sure your student knows where to seek medical care on campus. Many colleges have a health center that can provide routine checkups and prescribe necessary medications.

To find more health tips for college students, visit HealthyChildren.org Dr. Ranjana Nath practices at Mercyhealth Crystal Lake South. For more information, call (815) 356-7494. Edited by Sanjana Nath.

An Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund investigation could not conclude one way or the other whether McHenry County Board members worked enough hours to be eligible for pensions.

Director Louis Kosiba, who launched the investigation in February, said there is insufficient evidence regarding whether board members have put in the 1,000 hours a year necessary to qualify for pensions. The IMRF investigation was prompted by Democratic state Rep. Jack Franks, who asked the fund to look into whether County Board members, all but a handful of whom had signed up to receive the pension, were working the required hours.

“The IMRF investigation was inconclusive. We were not in a position to determine whether or not County Board members actually worked 1,000 hours,” Kosiba said.

But the fallout from the investigation resulted in several changes – the County Board withdrew from IMRF

altogether, and a new state law ends participation statewide for all future county board members.

State law requires local government employees and elected officials to work a minimum of 600 hours a year to qualify for an IMRF pension, although governments can set a higher threshold of 1,000 hours, which the County Board did in 1997. But IMRF guidelines state that officials elected to county, township and municipal governments under a 1,000-hour standard will not meet it, barring “highly unusual circumstances.” One thousand hours a year adds up to 20 hours a week for 50 weeks.

Kosiba said the IMRF concluded that board members “spent an incredible amount of time on meetings,” but did not have additional evidence.

Board members, Kosiba said, did not provide any additional documentation, “in part because there was the potential for criminal investigation” – IMRF had asked members to submit any evidence they had regarding their time conducting government duties since 2005.

However, providing additional doc-

• INVESTIGATION

Continued from page A7 Outgoing County Board Chairman Joe Gottemoller, R-Crystal Lake, said IMRF for years has accepted the affidavits turned in by board members attesting that they work the 1,000 hours. He called the entire investigation “a political ploy” and asked why the County Board was the only one singled out.

“To ask someone after the fact to do something, and ask only us out of the 260 board members in all of Illinois in IMRF? That’s ridiculous,” Gottemoller said.

County Board members told Kosi-

ba as much personally, grilling him during his March presentation to the board.

Senate Bill 2701, signed into law last month, ends IMRF for all future county board members, and requires those still enrolled to submit monthly time sheets. Because the McHenry County Board’s self-imposed withdrawal from IMRF for all of its members does not take effect until Dec. 1, board members will have to turn in time sheets for the next three months.

County Board members who are not yet vested will not lose their accumulated credit, which can be applied toward a pension if they take a government job that is IMRF-eligible.

Village considers video gaming moratorium

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Now that it’s a homerule municipality, Huntley has more power to set regulations on video gaming machines in the village.

At Thursday’s Committee of the Whole meeting, Huntley trustees considered placing a moratorium on approving video gaming establishments until staff has had time to prepare a draft of set regulations.

Huntley allowed establishments to have video gaming machines starting in June 2012, Village Manager Dave Johnson said at the meeting. The Illinois Gaming Board established a licensing fee of $25 per terminal, and set a limit of a maximum of five terminals per establishment, Johnson said.

“The village’s only means of regulation has been whether or not to issue a liquor license to new businesses, because once they have liquor licenses, they are eligible to apply with the gaming board,” Johnson said.

The village became home rule after conducting a special census that put its population at 26,632, above the 25,000 population mark that automatically makes a municipality in Illinois home rule.

Being home rule allows the village board to consider video gaming regulations, including signage rules, how many terminals an establishment can have per square feet and how much to charge for license fees, Johnson said.

There are 13 establishments with video gaming licenses in Huntley, Johnson said, and exemptions of any new regulations could be considered for those businesses.

In 2015, Huntley took in about

“The village’s only means of regulation has been whether or not to issue a liquor license to new businesses, because once they have liquor licenses, they are eligible to apply with the gaming board.”

Dave Johnson

Huntley village manager

$63,000 from video gaming machines in the village, Illinois Gaming Board records show.

Johnson reviewed what regulations other neighboring municipalities have regarding video gaming licenses at Thursday’s meeting. Some neighboring communities charge as much as $500 per video gaming terminal, Johnson said.

Marengo City Council recently decided to not approve liquor licenses for video gaming facilities until council members decide whether to create a special designation for gaming parlors that want to serve alcohol.

Johnson originally proposed the moratorium last 45 days, but trustees decided to extend the time.

“I’d rather see it go to Jan. 1,” Trustee Niko Kanakaris said. “It gives us time to figure out exactly what we want to do.”

Huntley trustees agreed to move the moratorium to the agenda for the next village board meeting, 7 p.m. Thursday, Huntley Village Hall, 10987 Main St.

Instructor Bill Stockwell gets ready to fly his drone while teaching “Drones: intro to UAS-Unmanned Aerial Systems” in 2015 at McHenry County College in Crystal Lake.

CRYSTAL LAKE – New drone rules went into effect recently and local enthusiasts say that, by and large, the regulations make sense.

The Federal Aviation Administration in June finalized its first operational rules for use of small unmanned aircraft systems, more commonly called drones. The regulations went into effect last week and primarily focus on those using the technology for commercial purposes as opposed to those who dabble in flying as a hobby.

Key guidelines address safety, training and operational limits.

Bill Stockwell teaches an introductory drone course at McHenry County Community College and said people from all walks of life attend his class.

He said he can understand why the FAA wanted to make sure people got proper training.

Stockwell said he wouldn’t be surprised if the industry took off in short order.

“I get it. You can get this and make some money without doing physical labor and with no experience,” he said.

“If a thousand people are going to be trying to make a quick buck, at least this way you have to pass some kind of test and get some training and general knowledge.”

Some business uses for the drones include farming and photography, videography and marketing. Robert McClurg owns TurnKey Digital, a web development and digital marketing company in Woodstock. Drone services are becoming increasingly popular, he said.

Hooved Animal Humane In Pain? Call Now! Society seeks investigators

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Hooved Animal Humane Society is looking for approved humane investigators who will help enforce the Humane Care for Animals Act. This is a volunteer position.

Founded in 1971, the nonprofit organization based in Woodstock has promoted the humane treatment of animals with hooves through education, legislation and investigation. While the Hooved Animal Humane Society (HAHS) predominantly rescues horses, it also helps rescue goats, pigs and sheep.

“All of our animals come to us from criminal investigations involving abuse and neglect,” Executive Director Tracy McGonigle said. “We’ll teach the investigators about the powers that they have when investigating these cases, such as being able to write citations as long as they are approved by

our office.”

The Illinois Department of Agriculture holds an annual exam in the fall for people who wish to become an approved humane investigator. The free exam will test candidate’s knowledge of the Humane Care for Animals Act. To apply, the department requires that all applicants for the position are sponsored by a humane society.

McGonigle said they have about 20 approved investigators in Illinois.

“We’re looking for as many qualified people as we can get,” McGonigle said. “We especially need people in the southern part of state, but we could also use some people in this northwest area as well.”

Applicants who successfully pass the state exam and are sponsored by HAHS will receive a two-year license to become an approved humane investigator. To help candidates get ready for the exam, HAHS will host a preparatory course on Saturday at their education center in Woodstock.

LOCAL BRIEF

Commission considers Ryders Woods expansion

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The city of Woodstock has a chance to expand Ryders Woods, but it won’t come cheap.

A property along Lake Avenue in Woodstock is on the market. The roughly 5.5-acre space at 710 Lake Ave. adjoins Ryders Woods, Woodstock Police Department and the Recreation Center and currently has a single-family home on the site. If bought, the woods, recreation center, police department and Dick Tracy Way Park would connect. The property owners have the space listed for $1.8 million.

The city’s parks and recreation committee has discussed the matter, but it hasn’t gone to Woodstock City Council yet.

The property – which is divided into two parcels – had a net taxable value of about $50,000 in 2015, accord-

ing to the McHenry County Township assessments records.

Ryders Woods has been the focus of conservation and cleanup effort from agencies such as the Land Conservatory of McHenry County.

Its current size is 17 acres and the space includes 20 species of trees, including the largest oak trees in Woodstock, according to public works department reports.

It would be nice to acquire the property, but the cost likely will be prohibitive, Public Works Director Jeff Van Landuyt said.

He said the city could add the possible acquisition to its five-year capital program plan, but that doesn’t mean it will get accomplished anytime soon, if at all.

“If you look at it from a recreational or environmental standpoint, it would certainly be beneficial,” he said. “But the price is going to be the big deal.”

Historical society to host program on one-room school

The Huntley Historical Society will host a free presentation, “One-Room School House: A Trip Back In Time,” from 1:30 to 3 p.m. Sept. 10 in the Cosman Theater at the Huntley Park District Rec Center, 12015 Mill St. Diane McGowan, owner of the Haligus

Continued from page A11 “People are becoming more aware of these types of aerial video shots and will ask how we can incorporate those into photo or video marketing,” he said. “But a lot of people are still in the early stages of realizing what it would require and purchasing (drones) themselves. … They’re still in the early stages of asking questions.”

Another thing to consider is the cost and benefits of using the machines. it can get pricey, once you take into account the cost of the drone, training, registration and insurance.

with it from a research and development perspective,” he said. “But am I able to capture what the client needs at a reasonable cost to them? If the equation doesn’t make sense, there is no reason to go after it.”

McClurg said that the initial guidelines make sense, but seem more geared to the commercial pilot than the hobbyist – for now.

“It just still so early, there is a lot of learning that has to be done,” he said.

“This is the first broad stroke and I’m sure they will continue to fine-tune over the years to come. I think it’s great that they are finally embracing it and not saying that no one can fly drones.”

• AGENDA

Continued from page A3 could be approved by the local government or by referendum. It also would allow local governments to exclude a number of topics from collective bargaining.

Another proposal would repeal the state’s prevailing wage law, a minimum hourly wage set by the Illinois Department of Labor, based on trade, for any building project undertaken by a local government. These rates typically are set to match union scale.

To Anders Lindall, spokesman for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31, Rauner’s initiatives aren’t about helping taxpayers, but gutting organized labor and lowering wages.

The council represents about 75,000 employees statewide.

“Having a voice at work through their union allows public service workers at the city and county level to advocate for enough resources to serve their community, to have a voice to keep political interference out of public service, and to have the tools they need to do their jobs, whether it’s responding to emergencies, protecting public health and safety, or teaching kids. If you’re talking about silencing the voices of public service workers in these helping professions, that is

‘‘

Having a voice at work through their union allows public service workers at the city and county level to advocate for enough resources to serve their community, to have a voice to keep political interference out of public service, and to have the tools they need to do their jobs ... .”

what’s at stake,” Lindall said.

Others see it differently. Michael Lucci, vice president of policy for the conservative-leaning Illinois Policy Institute, said that data conclude that right-to-work laws have increased wages in the three neighboring states – Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan – that have implemented it. About half the states in the union have right-towork laws.

“The normal criticism of right-towork says, ‘If you adopt right-to-work, then boom, wages just fall.’ There’s absolutely no evidence of that, and in particular, in the three states around us that have enacted right-to-work, personal income increased faster than in Illinois,” Lucci said.

Besides the long shot that a Democratic legislature would even entertain the idea, there are legal roadblocks.

Attorney General Lisa Madigan ruled that federal labor law allows only states and not local governments to enact such policies. The Lincolnshire Village Board created a right-to-work zone anyway and was promptly sued by a number of unions. The lawsuits are still ongoing – the village is getting free legal representation from a law firm funded by the Illinois Policy Institute.

Many of the 24 members of the McHenry County Board, all Republicans, have cited both union contracts and prevailing wage as roadblocks when it comes to cutting costs and reducing the overall budget. The board and its associated bodies, a sliver of the 7,000 units of local government in Illinois, make up about 10 percent of a resident’s property-tax bill.

More than half of county govern-

ment’s workforce, which has steadily decreased since the Great Recession, is unionized through 10 bargaining units. Besides giving those employees benefits and raises, board members give their non-unionized workers a level of parity, lest they be persuaded to organize as well. In Illinois, public employees are automatically unionized if a majority of workers in an office fill out the authorization forms, a process known as card check.

As for prevailing wage, board members allege that it jacks up the cost to taxpayers for projects. For the past three years, the County Board has symbolically voted against accepting the annual prevailing wage list mandated by the state. But while rejecting the schedule carries no penalty, willingly paying workers less than prevailing wage carries a Class A misdemeanor and fines – under the law, the elected officials face the charge, while the body, meaning the taxpayers, pay the fine.

Prevailing wage is no joke, said County Board member Michael Walkup, who is the Republican candidate for board chairman. During the April 2015 debate about supporting the Turnaround Agenda, Walkup brought up a project during his time on the Crystal Lake Park District Board to build a brick restroom at Veterans Acres

state budget is set to expire.

Rauner’s main hope for getting some of the Turnaround Agenda approved could materialize as part of a “grand bargain” on a budget. Rauner has said he would entertain increasing taxes like Democratic lawmakers want, only if accompanied by meaningful pro-business and pro-taxpayer reforms he said are necessary to reverse Illinois’ dire economic fortunes.

David Yepsen, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, said he is not optimistic about a deal being struck.

Same old situation?

With about two-thirds of General The next chance of any sort of deal being struck on any portion of Raun- Assembly seats uncontested in this er’s agenda will be after the Nov. 8 elec- election, he does not see the current potion, when the six-month temporary litical calculus changing in a way that prevailing wage rates are not inflated, but match local rates. Local market conditions by far have more of an effect than prevailing wage, said institute Policy Director Frank Manzo IV, who wrote the analysis.

“The state’s prevailing wage law prevents government from undercutting local standards, supports in-state contractors, provides a competitive level of compensation to workers, and promotes apprenticeship training. Illinois should continue this high-road public policy,” Manzo wrote.

would favor either Rauner or House Speaker Michael Madigan by giving him enough of a cushion to override a gubernatorial veto and take the governor out of the equation entirely.

“I think they’re going to have to come to some agreement with the governor. I just don’t see a situation where the Democrats have either the numbers or the discipline to completely ignore the governor and think they can override vetoes,” Yepsen said.

There are, of course, other aspects of the Turnaround Agenda, such as workers’ compensation and tort liability reform, a statewide property-tax freeze, term limits and redistricting reform.

But many of those are just as politically unpalatable to many General Assembly members. The Illinois Supreme Court last month slapped down a citizen initiative for a constitutional amendment to take the power to draw legislative districts away from lawmakers.

An outcome of this, Yepsen said, could be that the temporary budget deal that ended a yearlong budget impasse between Rauner and Democratic lawmakers expires, and turns out to be nothing more than an intermission.

“With all the spending and rhetoric, we could be right back in the same gridlocked position,” Yepsen said.

Park that ended up costing $250,000. To put it in perspective, Walkup said, the quote he got to rebuild his entire home after a fire came in about the same.

“Prevailing wage probably doubles your labor costs. A true prevailing wage would be what the overall price is in the marketplace when you consider everything, but we’re not allowed to consider everybody – we only can compare union scale,” said Walkup, R-Crystal Lake.

Conflicting studies exist on prevailing wage’s effect on the bottom line.

Lucci said that prevailing wage typically increases costs by about 6 percent, but that 6 percent of the $11 billion or so spent on public construction in Illinois adds up to $660 million.

The number, he said, also doesn’t include increased workers’ compensation costs.

But a new report released last week by the liberal-leaning Illinois Economic Policy Institute casts doubt on the allegation that prevailing wage is artificial or jacks up costs.

The report analyzed wages in a number of Illinois counties bordering other states and concluded that the

The normal criticism of right-to-work says, ‘If you adopt right-to-work, then boom, wages just fall.’ There’s absolutely no evidence of that, and in particular, in the three states around us that have enacted right-to-work, personal income increased faster than in Illinois ... ”

THOMAS GEORGE DORAN

Bishop Emeritus Thomas George Doran, D.D., J.C.D., died peacefully at his residence in Presence Cor Mariae, Rockford, on September 1, 2016. He was 80 years old.

Bishop Doran was born on February 20, 1936, in Rockford, Illinois, to Robert J. and Gretchen (Durst) Doran. He attended St. James Pro-Cathedral Grade School, graduating in 1950. He attended Campion Jesuit High School in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, from 1950 to 1954. Bishop Doran then entered the college seminary and completed his classical and philosophical studies at St. Pius X Seminary at Loras College, Dubuque, Iowa, from 1954 to 1958. Upon his graduation in 1958, he was assigned to Theological Studies at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome and to receive his priestly formation at the Pontifical North American College, Vatican City.

On December 20, 1961, he was ordained a priest in the Basilica of St. Peter by the Most Rev. Martin J. O’Connor, rector of the Pontifical North American College.

After ordination he completed studies and was awarded a licentiate in sacred theology in 1962.

Upon his return to the Diocese of Rockford, Father Doran was assigned assistant pastor at St. Joseph Parish, Elgin, and to teach religion at St. Edward Central Catholic High School from 1962 to 1963. He then was assigned as assistant pastor at St. Peter Parish, South Beloit, and to work in the Diocesan Tribunal from 1963 to 1965. In 1965, Bishop Loras T. Lane appointed Father Doran to be his secretary, and secretary of the Diocesan Tribunal and a Defender of the Bond until Bishop Arthur J. O’Neill appointed him Chancellor in 1969 where he served for the next 17½ years. During that time, he also served as director of religious education and

assistant principal at Boylan Central Catholic High School and served on the diocesan College of Consultors. In 1976, he was named Officialis of the Diocesan Tribunal and pursued post-graduate studies in canon law in Rome, receiving a doctorate in 1978.

He was appointed the first Episcopal Vicar for Catholic Education by Bishop O’Neill and served in that post from 1982 to 1984. In 1984, Father Doran was appointed rector of the Cathedral of St. Peter, also continuing as chancellor until he was appointed Prelate Auditor of the Roman Rota by Pope John Paul II and elevated to the title of monsignor.

He served the Holy See until his appointment as bishop of Rockford on April 19, 1994.

He was ordained and installed the eighth Bishop of the Rockford Diocese on June 24, 1994, by Cardinal Joseph Bernardin of Chicago.

As the leader of the 11-county diocese, Bishop Doran oversaw, directed and supported many initiatives to further the Catholic identity and strengthen the future of all diocesan ministries. He presided over the local Jubilee 2000 celebration of the Universal Church and the Centennial of the Diocese of Rockford in addition to many other milestone events.

On Sept. 2, 2000, the Holy Father recognized the Diocese of Rockford and Bishop Doran by naming him a member of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura.

On March 2, 2001, Pope John Paul II named Bishop Doran a bishop member of the Congregation for the Clergy. During his time as bishop he served on many Administrative committees for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and on various boards including the Catholic University of America, Kenrick-Glennon Seminary, the Illinois Catholic Health Association, the National Rural Life Conference and Catholics United for the Faith. As required by canon law, Bishop Doran resigned at age 75, Feb. 20, 2011 and retired upon the appointment of a new bishop on March 20, 2012.

Bishop Doran is survived by his sister, Susanne Doran, and many cousins.

Mixed ruling on state worker contract talks

At issue is whether talks between public employee unions, Rauner have reached ‘impasse’ “There is no impasse on key issues, and the parties should get back to the bargaining table to resolve them.”

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – An administrative law judge issued a mixed decision this week over whether contract negotiations have stalled between Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration and Illinois’ largest public employees union.

Judge Sarah Kerley delivered a 400-page ruling Friday indicating that Rauner’s administration should be able to implement some contract provisions but the two sides should return to the bargaining table on others.

The decision is not binding and the final word is up to the Illinois Labor Relations Board in an unusual case that has fueled the bitter relationship between Rauner and public employee unions. At issue is whether talks with the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees have reached “impasse,” a technical determination that could force the union to either accept the governor’s terms or strike.

Kerley’s ruling came after weeks of intensive hearings covering complex legal arguments and allegations of unfair labor practices charged by both sides. She noted that neither side had “acted in a completely virtuous manner” and that the negotiations “reflect-

Both sides have 30 days to respond to the judge’s recommendation.

Rauner spokeswoman Catherine Kelly noted the decision concluded the administration had been “bargaining in good faith for a fair deal on behalf of taxpayers.”

“We are reviewing her opinion to evaluate the next steps as the rest of the agreed-to process continues,” she said in a statement.

Trump tells Detroit black churchgoers visit is ‘to learn’

By JILL COLVIN and COREY WILLIAMS The Associated Press

DETROIT – Donald Trump swayed to songs of worship, read scripture and donned a Jewish prayer shawl Saturday during a visit to a predominantly black church in Detroit, where he called for a “civil rights agenda of our time” and vowed to fix the “many wrongs” facing blacks.

“I am here to listen to you,” Trump told the congregation at the Great Faith Ministries International. “I’m here today to learn.”

Trump has stepped up his outreach to minority voters in recent weeks as he tries to expand his appeal beyond his GOP base. The visit was Trump’s first to a black church – a rare appearance in front of a largely minority audience for the candidate who typically attracts overwhelmingly white crowds.

Trump was introduced by Bishop Wayne T. Jackson, who warned that he was in for something different. “This is the first African-American church he’s been in, y’all! Now it’s a little different from a Presbyterian church,” he said.

While protesters were a vocal presence outside, Trump made a pitch inside for support from an electorate strongly aligned with Democrat Hillary Clinton.

“Our nation is too divided,” said Trump, who is known for making contentious remarks.

“We talk past each other, not to each other. And those who seek office do not do enough to step into the community and learn what is going on.”

Striking a rare unifying tone, he said, “I’m here today to learn so that we can together remedy injustice in any form.”

Trump also praised the black church as “the

conscience of our country” and said the nation needs “a civil-rights agenda of our time” that includes the right to a quality education, safe neighborhoods and good jobs.

“I fully understand that the African-American community has suffered from discrimination and that there are many wrongs that must still be made right,” Trump said.

Before he left, he was presented with a prayer shawl, which Jackson draped over Trump’s shoulders, and a Jewish Heritage Studies bible.

Trump also met with a smaller group of church members and recorded an interview with the pastor.

Trump’s efforts thus far to attract greater support from minority groups have largely fallen flat. Polls show Clinton with overwhelmingly more support from blacks and Hispanics.

Black community leaders, in particular, have railed against Trump’s dire depictions of minority life and dismissed his message as intended more to reassure white voters that he’s not racist than to help communities of color.

Outside the church, several separate protests swelled into a throng of about 400 people denouncing Trump. At one point, the protesters tried to push through a barrier to the parking lot but were stopped by church security and police.

The Rev. Lawrence Glass, one of the clergy denouncing Trump’s visit, said Trump represents the “politics of fear and hate,” and “minorities of all kinds have much to lose taking a chance on someone like” Trump.

But inside, churchgoers who chose to attend Trump’s speech speak said they thought it was important to hear directly from the Republican nominee as they weigh their options.

Obama: ‘Not there yet’ on U.S.-Russia Skilled Trades and deal on Syria violence Manufacturing To receive an Express Lane Pass, send resume to resume@expoexpertsllc.com (Enter: AttendingCJF in Subject Line)

By KATHLEEN HENNESSEY and JOSH LEDERMAN The Associated Press

HANGZHOU, China – The United States and Russia are working “around the clock” to try to strike a deal to reduce violence and improve access to humanitarian help in Syria, President Barack Obama said Sunday, but added that the U.S. was skeptical it would work.

Obama, speaking on the sidelines of the Group of 20 economic summit in China, said the U.S. and Russia still have “grave differences” about what’s needed to end Syria’s civil war and which opposition groups are legitimate targets for the U.S. and Russian militaries. But he said “it is worth trying” to secure an agreement nonetheless.

“We’re not there yet,” Obama said. “I think it’s premature for us to say there’s a clear path forward, but there’s the possibility at least for us to make some progress.”

Obama’s comments came as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov

are deep in talks over a deal to boost U.S. and Russian military cooperation to fight the Islamic State group and other extremists in Syria – a step Moscow has long sought. The emerging deal is expected to also include provisions to ensure aid can reach besieged areas of Syria and steps to prevent Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government from bombing areas where U.S.-backed rebels are operating.

Though negotiators have been hopeful a deal could come together while world leaders are gathered in Hangzhou for the G20, that optimism has been tempered by the failure of previous ceasefire deals to hold. The U.S. has long been wary to increase military coordination with Russia in Syria’s civil war because it says Russia continues striking moderate, U.S.backed opposition groups in a bid to prop up Assad. The U.S. wants Russia to focus exclusively on IS and al-Qaidalinked groups.

“These are difficult negotiations,” Obama said, arguing that the skepticism was “understandable” given letdowns in the past.

Artur Davis, former four-term congressman in Alabama now is running against Smith.

“Race never came up, so I brought it up,” Wheat said of his campaign. “I knew it was on people’s minds, and I wanted to openly discuss it so that any questions people had about it could be answered and satisfied.”

Smith, a longtime TV news reporter and anchor in St. Louis, has taken a more reserved approach when addressing the topic. Although she spoke generally with the AP about making the political system more inclusive, she frequently changed the subject when asked about the historical ramifications of her campaign. Campaign manager Kirk Clay said she does not talk about race on the campaign trail either.

Smith and West Virginia auditor candidate Mary Ann Claytor are the only black candidates for statewide office who will appear on the ballot this

November as major party nominees in the 10 states where no minority has ever won such a race. Four American Indian candidates are running for statewide office in the Dakotas. All are Democrats.

Statewide posts aren’t the only elected positions in which minority representation has lagged. An AP analysis published in June found non-Hispanic whites make up a little more than 60 percent of the U.S. population but hold more than 80 percent of all congressional and state legislative seats.

Mark Sawyer, director of the Center for the Study of Race, Ethnicity and Politics at UCLA, said progress for minorities on the statewide level has stalled since a wave of moderate, black officials was elected in the 1980s.

While statewide elected officials often climb the political ladder after first getting elected to local offices, Sawyer

said white candidates are more likely than minorities to follow that pipeline.

Minority candidates have enjoyed more success in local elections in areas with large numbers of black or Hispanic residents, he said, and those offices don’t always offer a clear transition to a statewide job.

Artur Davis, a black, former fourterm congressman in Alabama, said race was a “continual factor” in his unsuccessful bid to win the Democratic nomination for governor in 2010. Davis said he considered it “coded” language when his opponent and others suggested he couldn’t win statewide in Alabama, where more than a quarter of the population is black.

“It’s very challenging to go from representing a primarily African-American district to a statewide environment in the South,” Davis said. “... Once you become identified or tabbed politically as a spokesperson for a race, it obviously becomes very difficult to broaden your political appeal beyond that race.”

Other hurdles cited by candidates, political scientists and other experts include the expense of running for office, minority candidates’ tendency to run as Democrats even in strongly Republican-leaning states and the lack of minorities in elected office who could help others break into politics.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Nearly two centuries after Missouri gained statehood as part of a compromise over slave ownership, no black candidate has ever won a statewide election there – a barrier Robin Smith is trying to overcome but seldom discusses publicly.

According to an analysis by The Associated Press, Missouri is one of 10 states since Reconstruction where only white candidates have won contests for president, senator, governor and other nonjudicial offices elected statewide.

The others are Alabama, Arkansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, West Virginia, Wyoming and Mississippi, which had the nation’s first two black senators in the 1870s when those seats were chosen by legislators rather than popularly elected.

Just making it to the general election puts Smith, the Democratic candidate for secretary of state, in rare political company. The only previous minority candidate to have won a major party’s nomination for statewide office in Missouri was Alan Wheat – a black former Democratic congressman from Kansas City who lost the 1994 Senate race to former Republican Gov. John Ashcroft. Ashcroft’s son, Jay Ashcroft,

A reward for workforce

More than 100 years after the first federal observance of Labor Day, there still is debate about who first pitched the idea of a holiday to celebrate workers.

We have no intention of contributing to that debate today, but what a great idea it was, regardless who deserves the credit.

For the lucky ones, Monday is a day off.

For the record It is a day to celebrate the social and ecoIllinois state government has a nomic achievements lot of work to do to improve the of American workers. job climate here. Despite that, Regardless of what the state’s workforce remains industry you’re in, dedicated and hardworking. everyone who works deserves recognition for the contributions they bring to the economy and to the many services provided by government that our taxes help pay for.

A day off that honors workers seems the least the country can do. Granted, those who aren’t working – but who are actively looking for a job – deserve a day to be recognized too.

While Illinois’ unemployment rate dropped to 5.8 percent in July, the lowest since 2008, that doesn’t necessarily tell the whole story.

Since the Great Recession led to hundreds of thousands of Illinoisans losing their jobs, many simply have stopped looking for work. They aren’t counted in the unemployment rate.

And because of Illinois’ dire fiscal condition, high taxes and corrosive political climate, many others decided to find jobs – and homes – out of state. We’ve been sorry to see them go.

There is much that needs to be done to improve the working climate in Illinois – and we should be pressuring our lawmakers to take action.

Unfortunately, we expect the taxes we pay on the incomes we earn through our hard work to go up after the Nov. 8 election. State government for years has been spending more money than it brings in. The cowards and the crooks in Springfield are waiting until after the election to reach into our pocketbooks and take more.

There is a little something we can do. We can become informed voters and make sure we vote for the candidates who best represent our values in every election, year in and year out.

When and where appropriate, we can let our elected officials know regularly how we feel about their inaction, or their incompetence.

But today and Monday – Labor Day – let’s relax and celebrate American workers. They – we – deserve it.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Trump’s iffy immigration policy After more than a week of conflicting accounts of Donald Trump’s views on immigration, a period of confusion marked by words such as “softening,” Trump made his intentions clear Wednesday. The line is as hard as ever, even if the policy is all over the place.

In the afternoon, Trump had a strange, subdued meeting with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto. At a joint appearance afterward, the Republican presidential candidate was positively demure, speaking of joint U.S.-Mexican endeavors to benefit the “hemisphere.” By evening, he was back in Phoenix, giving a speech in full-nativist mode. He shouted out what he called a plan on immigration, but it wasn’t actually a plan.

No matter what happens in November, the basic bargain of an immigration agreement remains unchanged: some form of increased security against illegal immigration along with a

humane and economically rational dispensation for the millions of undocumented immigrant families who have been living and working in the U.S. for years.

Trump’s signature idea is still the wall – a “beautiful southern border wall.” In fact, the wall is largely beside the point. The most effective place to cut illegal immigration is in the workplace, with a mandatory system of employer verification. Without that, if there’s gainful employment to be had, strivers will find a way in. As for getting Mexico to pay for Trump’s irrelevant wall, Pena Nieto rejected the idea out of hand – and with more credibility than his visitor could muster.

Trump also said he’d immediately deport 2 million criminal immigrants, without saying how he arrived at that large number or how they would be identified and rounded up. Other undocumented immigrants would have to leave and then apply for legal entry, he

said. He promised an expanded “deportation task force” to make this stick – but he also said that some undocumented immigrants might, after all, be allowed to stay.

It was unclear who, when or why.

Amid the confusion, Trump keeps piling on the distortion.

“There is no paperwork,” Trump said of Syrian refugees coming to the U.S., whose number he greatly exaggerated. In fact, the refugees go through an extensive vetting process.

Immigration needs to be controlled, to be sure – even though the number of undocumented immigrants has declined since the Great Recession, and the number of illegal crossings has plummeted in recent years. Screening applicants for higher skills makes sense, too. The U.S. should debate that idea. But Trump’s outlandish scare stories and fantasy promises are no help in framing a better policy.

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 Austin Berg estate tax when the owners die and the estate passes to their children. That’s not even counting farmers’ assets that aren’t land: The value of tractors, combines, barns, silos and more is tallied up, too.

Illinois’ estate tax tops out at 16 percent. And don’t forget the federal estate tax, which maxes out at 40 percent. Even with clever accounting, that can be a tough pill to swallow.

“We’ve seen numerous members of ours over the years have to sell off portions of their farm to pay this tax,” said Kevin Semlow, director of state legislation at the Illinois Farm Bureau.

The bureau has represented Illinois’ farming families for 100 years, and among its 80,000 members are those hit hardest by Illinois’ estate tax.

“If you have to take a portion of what you own to pay taxes, you’re tearing apart the farm. It’s not fair to those folks,” Semlow said.

Illinois is one of only 15 states that charge an estate tax in addition to the

federal death tax.

Semlow added that the estate tax threatens the ability of Illinoisans to keep farms in their families, because farmers’ biggest asset is their land.

Illinois farmers are often “land poor.” While farmland can be very valuable, cash on hand is a different story. This makes the estate tax especially burdensome, since the land farm families are forced to sell is what pays the bills.

But not all farms suffer equally under Illinois’ estate tax.

Larger corporate farms such as those owned by Tyson Foods have to pay a corporate income tax, unlike family farms and other Illinois small businesses. But those major corporations aren’t hit by the estate tax. And while farmers’ roots are planted in Illinois soil, wealthier individuals can easily avoid the estate tax by moving to a Sun Belt state.

While Illinoisans bear the obvious burdens of the estate tax, its hidden effects are just as bad.

The Tax Foundation estimates the federal death tax costs the U.S. five times more in gross domestic product than it collects in tax revenue each year. So while Illinois’ estate tax only generates about $300 million in

revenue, it could be costing the state more than $1.5 billion in annual GDP growth.

That’s an awful trade-off.

It makes sense that Indiana, Ohio and North Carolina have all repealed their death taxes in the past few years.

Illinois has had this debate for decades. And sometimes, politicians come down on the side of fairness.

Take 1982, when Illinois eliminated its inheritance tax. Then-Gov. Jim Thompson took a stroll down the block from his Chicago home to sign the bill at a local family-owned grocery store.

Thompson described the tax as “unfair,” according to the Chicago Tribune. “It strikes hardest at family-owned businesses in the state and family-owned farms,” he said.

Illinois lawmakers knew farmers and small-business owners already paid their fair share in taxes.

Those family legacies needn’t belong to the taxman, too.

Illinois takes pride in its farmland.

The state has some of the world’s richest soil, and 3 of every 4 acres in Illinois are dedicated to agriculture.

But Illinois’ agricultural heritage is about much more than land and crops.

It’s about families.

The state’s Centennial Farms program honors those who have held an Illinois farm in their family for a century or more. More than 9,200 farms across the state have earned this designation. (Full disclosure: the Berg family farm outside of Effingham is one such place.)

But passing a farm down from one generation to the next isn’t easy. And Illinois makes it even harder. In the Land of Lincoln, that moment comes with a hefty “death tax” that forces families to worry rather than reminisce.

Illinois’ estate tax puts family farms and other small businesses at a competitive disadvantage. It punishes hard-working families.

And it threatens what makes Illinois agriculture great.

Given the average value of Illinois farmland, about $7,500 an acre according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a farm a little larger than 500 acres would be subject to Illinois’

NO MORE LOST LUGGAGE? Delta trying out new tracking system for airline passengers’ bags

By SCOTT MAYEROWITZ The Associated Press

LINTHICUM, Md. – Victor DaRosa stands under a scorching afternoon sun, loading bags onto a jet heading to Detroit.

As each suitcase climbs up the conveyor belt into the plane, a small computer verifies that it actually belongs on that flight. If one bag didn’t, a red light would flash and the belt would stop until somebody acknowledges the mistake and reroutes the luggage.

This is the future of baggage handling. Delta Air Lines is investing $50 million to soothe one of air travel’s biggest headaches: lost and delayed luggage.

Delta carried nearly 120 million checked suitcases last year, collecting $25 in fees, each way, for most domestic bags. For that price, fliers expect their suitcase to be waiting on the carousel when they arrive. Delta already has one of the airline industry’s best luggage handling records – just 1 out of every 500 bags failed to arrive on time – but hopes that by deploying a RFID, or radio-frequency identification, tracking system globally it can improve further.

If the system works, other airlines are likely to follow.

Ultimately the bag tag might be replaced with permanent

AP photo

A scanner displays a green light as it detects an RFID-enabled baggage tag on a package as it’s loaded onto a Delta Air Lines flight at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport in Linthicum, Md. Delta Air Lines is rolling out new technology to better track bags throughout its system.

RFID readers in our suitcases, reducing the chances fliers in the future will start a vacation missing their swimsuit.

“It’s a very smart move,” says Henry Harteveldt, founder of travel consultancy Atmosphere Research Group. “It’s one that will help increase customer confidence that their bags will arrive with them.”

RFID wirelessly identifies

tags attached to items. The technology is widely used at warehouses to track goods but Delta’s rollout is the first global use for passenger bags.

To better understand the technology, think about your local supermarket. If every grocery item had an RFID tag, cashiers wouldn’t have to scan each product at checkout. Instead, the groceries would pass

by a scanner and be instantly registered. Shoppers could even leave everything in their cart, having it all tallied at once.

The same principles apply to checked luggage.

Most airlines today use barcodes on tags to identify each suitcase – each tag has its own unique 10-digit number – and make sure it is loaded onto the

right plane. But reading each barcode with a handheld scanner is time consuming. Often, a bag or two aren’t scanned or error messages are missed by workers focused on getting planes out on time.

Delta designed its system to stop those errors. At the airline’s 84 largest airports – accounting for 85 percent of its passengers – Delta will have 1,500 special belt loaders with RFID readers built in. Those loaders – like the one DaRosa was using – stop when a bag for a different flight is accidently placed on the belt.

“It’s amazing technology,” says DaRosa, a ramp supervisor who has been testing the technology at Baltimore Washington International Airport.

“It’s going to totally eliminate a bunch of careless little errors.”

Replacing handheld scanners allows ramp workers to use both hands to lift bags, reducing injuries and speeding up the loading and unloading process. RFID also shortens the time needed to find and remove a bag from a plane at the last second. All of that means more on-time flights.

Delta is also using RFID to track bags through the labyrinth of conveyor belts below terminals.

• LUGGAGE

Continued from page 28 If bags fall off a belt at a particular curve or get suck at a junction, Delta will now have enough RFID readers – about 5,200 globally – to pinpoint the trouble spot and fix it. The Atlanta-based airline was set to have the system online in 344 airports by the end of August.

The new tags look like traditional ones.

But if held up to the light, passengers can see a fingernail-size chip and a credit card size antenna inlayed inside. By the end of this year, fliers will be able to track their bags through the Delta smartphone app. If a bag misses its flight, passengers are notified instantly.

That way passengers “aren’t standing at a baggage carousel waiting for the last piece of luggage to come off to realize their bag isn’t there,” says Sandy Gordon, Delta’s vice president of airport operations for the eastern U.S. Most bags do arrive on time. But there are hiccups, with one out of every 500 bags Delta carried last year failing to do so. It’s

VIEWS Ann Mariani-Issel There are ways to avoid this scenario.

First, understand the hospitals do not have any flexibility when bad things happen. You could be on your knees, begging for an update during an emergency situation and would be denied. Medical professionals are required by HIPAA to only share information with those who have written authorization to receive it.

Please obtain and complete these simple documents or confirm that your child completes a HIPAA at the university’s health center and nearest hospital. Provide them with the names and contact information of those you want on the forms.

If you are using the supplemental insurance many schools offer, make sure that you complete the section referring to authorization. If you need assistance finding a form, give your financial advisor a call.

Twice as many were delayed last year on American Airlines, according to statistics reported to the Department of Transportation.

Bags often get delayed when bad weather forces tight connections or passengers are rerouted onto new flights. Of the 245,000 bags Delta mishandled last year, 208,000 of them arrived within three hours, according to the airline. Another 25,000 were reunited with passengers within 12 hours. The remaining 12,000 were either lost or took more than 12 hours to be delivered.

Installing RFID isn’t going to solve all of Delta’s baggage problems. But the airline estimates a 10-percent reduction in delayed bags. That means about 25,000 fewer bags the airline has to deliver to passengers’ homes, offices or hotel rooms.

Airlines have long found RFID too pricey but the cost has dropped. McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas says it currently pays 12 cents for each RFID tag, down from 21.5 cents a decade ago. Delta refused to say how much it’s paying for RFID bag tags, except that it is less than 10 cents each.

Several years ago, Carrie Underwood had a hit with the song “Don’t Forget to Remember Me,” which is about a young adult heading off to start a new adventure.

It is a thoughtful song and the words hit home for this parent as I was shooing the last bird out of the nest.

Since many other parents are doing the same right now, let me add one more thing to their to-do lists. Complete a healthcare proxy for any unmarried child over the age of 18.

While both of my sons’ packing lists were relatively short and focused on four main categories – clothing, electronics, sports and non-perishable food – I remember my supplemental list being quite long.

So after packing the Lysol wipes, paper products, spare linens, detergents and a dozen other items that never crossed their minds, I encourage every parent to include a copy of their child’s Power of Attorney for Healthcare.

While it may be unthinkable to imagine your young adult hurt or ill enough to be unresponsive, it does happen. I personally know of two instances where a student was not able to give medical authorities consent to speak with a parent. In each case, Mom or Dad was frantically called by one of the student’s friends, who relayed as much information as they could but nothing could be shared by the hospital because of HIPAA rules.

No decisions could be made on behalf of their child while unconscious. Can you imagine how traumatic that would be?

Private school costs are busting savings Dear Dave: Our three kids are enrolled in a private Christian school.

It’s a great place, and we truly believe our kids are getting a wonderful, faithbased education, but the tuition is pretty expensive. We’ve already had to start digging into our savings to make this happen, and the kids are only in elementary school. Should we keep them enrolled, or should we transfer them to public school? – Maureen Dear Maureen: I understand wanting your kids to get the best education possible. Private schools can provide some advantages academically, while a good Christian school might offer spiritual advantages. But the bottom line is this: If you can’t cash flow it, you shouldn’t do it.

All of my kids went to public schools, and they are good, moral

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey people and strong Christians. In the process, they learned how to interact with people of all faiths, no faith, and how to display their faith and beliefs adequately in their personal lives and in the marketplace.

The truth is, you’ll find great things and bad things in any school, private or public, Christian or not.

And no matter where your kids go to school, as parents, you still have to teach them about the world – the good and the bad, the right and the wrong.

Life can’t be lived inside a protective bubble.

Dear Dave: I work for a fire department in Mississippi, and I’ve been trying to get information on the state’s deferred comp plan. No one here seems to know a lot about it, so I was wondering if I should keep looking for information or is it not worth the bother? – Brandon Brandon: Deferred comp simply means you are electing to defer and receive a portion of your compensation at a later time or date.

People who use these types of plans have a portion of their compensation withheld and directed into an investment of some kind instead, and you aren’t taxed on it immediately.

It’s sort of like a pre-tax investment, but it’s not transferable to an IRA or 401(k).

I would only do deferred compen-

sation after I’ve done everything else in terms of saving 15 percent of my income for retirement, including a Roth IRA. These are funded by after-tax dollars, but they grow tax-free.

But I wouldn’t do any of this until after I had paid off all my debt, except for my home, and had an emergency fund of three to six months of expenses in place.

Good question, Brandon!

WHERE THEY STAND

Neither Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump has really focused on the debt.

Trump has promised huge tax cuts that would, in fact, make the debt explode by trillions of dollars over the coming decade, though details are fuzzy.

Trump has also shown no interest in curbing expensive benefit programs like Medicare and has actually criticized prior Republican efforts

$14 trillion held by investors. Over the long term, that threatens the economy and people’s pocketbooks.

to balance the budget. He also wants big spending increases for veterans, the military and infrastructure projects – even suggesting that the government should take on new debt for such projects because interest rates are so low.

Clinton, by contrast, is proposing tax increases on the wealthy. But she wouldn’t use the money to bring down the debt.

Instead, she’d turn around

and spend it on college tuition subsidies, infrastructure and expansion of President Barack Obama’s health care law. She also wants to get rid of that law’s so-called Cadillac tax on generous employer-provided health plans.

If elected, Clinton is expected to face a hostile GOP-controlled House, making her goal of tax increases for new spending highly unlikely to be achieved, even if Democrats

take back the Senate.

LONG-TERM THREAT?

Most economists believe that rising debt, especially when measured against the size of the economy, is a serious threat to the long-term economic health of the country.

Very low interest rates have made the nation’s debt relatively easy to handle – for now.

But as debt continues to grow, economists fear rising

The art of keeping an eye on aging parents

By RODNEY BROOKS The Washington Post

Taking care of our independent-minded elderly parents can be a huge challenge.

That challenge will increase as parents grow older. Between 7 million and 10 million adults are caring for aging parents from a long distance, according to Pew Research Center.

Meanwhile, financial fraud against older Americans costs them as much as $36.5 billion a year, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says. So, how do you know it is time to step in to protect your parents from financial

predators or even from themselves?

“There are two decisions that become particularly difficult as our loved ones age,” says Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, head of the Senate Committee on Aging. “One is deciding when it is no longer safe for them to be driving.

The second is when it is no longer prudent for them to be handling their own financial affairs. Both are difficult decisions.”

Knowing when to step in can be emotional and complicated. But financial planners say there are telltale signs.

“More often than not, it’s the kids coming to us asking for help,” says Ryan Wibberley, CEO of CIC Wealth in

Gaithersburg. “They may not want to have the conversations with parents.

Elderly parents are reluctant to tell them about finances.”

Financial adviser Tom West, a partner at SEIA in Tysons Corner, says: “The biggest challenges of adult children and aging parents usually have to do with the ideas of privacy, control and independence – ‘I don’t want you to know my stuff.’ It may be because of embarrassment.”

West adds, “I’ve met a lot of aging parents that would prefer to suffer mildly than to burden the kids.”

Collins says there are a number of warning signs. “One is failing to pay

bills on time and confusion about whether or not bills have been paid,” she says. “Indications that he or she can no longer manage a checking account.”

Another, she says, “is if you are seeing unusual withdrawals that are not tied to a purchase, like a washing machine or a new car.”

Leslie Thompson, partner at Spectrum Management in Indianapolis, cites others.

“If we notice things are different, like forgetfulness, bouncing checks or needing money outside of the norm, we will have conversations with our clients,” she says. “If we feel the client is in danger, we will contact the family.”

The federal government is borrowing about 1 out of 7 dollars it spends and steadily piling up debt – to the tune of about $14 trillion held by investors. Over the long term, that threatens the economy and our pocketbooks.

Most economists say rising debt risks crowding out investment and forcing interest rates up, among other problems. At the same time, rapidly growing spending on federal health care programs like Medicare and the drain on Social Security balances caused by the rising tide of baby boomers could squeeze out other spending, on roads, education, the armed forces and more.

It takes spending cuts, tax increases or both to dent the deficit – and presidential leadership. Lawmakers instead AP file photo prefer higher spending and The federal government is borrowing about $1 out of $7 it spends and piling up debt – to the tune of about tax cuts.

interest rates are inevitable, as the government’s demand to borrow competes with private borrowers needing capital for investments.

If debt slows the economy down, tax revenues would fall and create even more pressure on the budget and raise the possibility of a European-style fiscal crisis. In that event, policymakers might have no choice but tax increases or large benefit cuts.

Then there’s the question of generational fairness. The federal budget is dominated by programs that help the elderly – Medicare and Social Security. Their growth is squeezing programs like education, infrastructure, national parks and scientific research, just to name a few.

At the same time, the steadily growing debt, both in nominal terms and when measured against the economy, is a burden that future generations will have to bear.

America’s debt problem can’t be wished away, but there’s little evidence the political system is up to the challenge. Part of the reason is increased polarization between the parties and an increasingly rancorous atmosphere in Washington.

It’s also true that politicians across the spectrum fear the political consequences of taking the difficult steps required to cut the deficit. That won’t change, no matter who is elected to succeed Obama.

Advice column addict seeks advice to cure her addiction Dear Abby: I live in Dubai and started reading advice columns around 10 years ago. I find them fascinating as they give me insight into the lives of people who live in different cultures, and have very different ways of thinking. I have learned a great deal from these columns and often am impressed with not just the advice, but also the language used in asking and answering.

Because I enjoy them so much, I spend a lot of time every day reading. Some days I pore through the archives, and before I know it, it’s time to go home from work.

When I don’t have much work to do in the office, it’s easy. But lately I have been procrastinating and only finishing tasks just before they are due. I’m fortunate I work quickly and my work has not been affected negatively yet, but still, this doesn’t

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips seem right.

Could you please help me overcome this obsession? Thank you. –

Addicted In Dubai Dear Addicted: I agree there is a lot

to be learned by reading about the problems and solutions others have.

However, you have gone overboard and need to step on the brakes. Some addicts can manage their addiction by rationing their exposure, while others need to quit cold turkey.

Many companies and employers periodically review what their employees do on their computers during work hours, and people have been fired when employers realize

they are devoting little time and energy to the tasks at hand. If you want to spend evenings and weekends entertaining yourself by reading advice columns, no one can argue with it.

But from where I sit, you are being unfair to your boss, and indulging in your addiction during work hours could cost you your job.

Dear Abby: Recently, we were finishing up the details on my brother’s wedding. He’s marrying a wedding planner who has a very rigid vision of what she wants. One of these ideas is mixing and matching bridesmaids dresses.

All the bridesmaids were asked to find their own gowns in either one of the wedding colors, which was a creative and cute approach.

The problem is, the bride has now requested extended family members not wear the wedding colors so the

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

bridal party will stand out. Several people took offense and felt “excluded.”

I always thought this was a rule of etiquette, but others seemed unaware. Is it OK for the bride to make this request? And shouldn’t others be OK with it? – Bewildered

Bridesmaid Dear Bewildered: The answers

to your questions are yes, and yes.

The bride’s request is a simple one.

Unless the people who took offense were upset because they aren’t a part of the wedding party – which is their problem and not the bride’s – no one should have been offended. The malcontents should try to comply to the extent they can and not rain on the bride’s parade.

VOLLEYBALL: JACOBS INVITATIONAL

Hurricanes dominate at Jacobs Invite

By ALEX KANTECKI

akantecki@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Marian Central senior setter McKayla Wuensch apologized if her voice was unrecognizable after playing seven matches in four days.

First came a sweep against St. Francis, the defending Class 4A state champion, on Wednesday. Then the Hurricanes knocked off Kaneland, a Class 3A school that had just beaten the Class 4A state runner-up, Glenbard West, only days earlier on Thursday.

On Saturday, Marian regrouped for the Jacobs Invitational. And, for the second straight year, the Hurricanes went undefeated in five matches in a little under seven hours.

Marian lost only one set all day, sweeping Hersey in the semifinals and beating previously unbeaten Steven-

son, 25-23, 25-13, to capture the tournament title in back-to-back years.

“It’s been insane,” said Wuensch, who was named to the all-tournament team along with Marian’s Lauren Hanlon. “It’s been a hectic schedule. And then having practice every single day, but I think we’re keeping up with it.

Being able to have those practices ... our endurance is great.”

Wuensch recorded 26 assists and two aces against Stevenson, Sydney Nemtuda smashed 10 kills, Brenna Koch and Lauren Hanlon had seven kills apiece, and Meghan Schwallie added 11 digs for the Hurricanes (9-0).

Marian’s lone set loss of the 12-team invite was in a 25-15, 25-27, 15-10 win over Wisconsin’s Catholic Memorial, a private school from Waukesha with six state championships in six years.

Marian Central won its second-straight Jacobs Volleyball Invitational on Saturday, finishing 5-0 and beating Stevenson, 25-23, 25-13, in the championship.

• VOLLEYBALL

Continued from page 2 “It’s been cool to start this way,” Hurricanes coach Laura Watling said. “It’s extremely exciting, especially with the quality of teams that we’ve played and how well we’re doing against them. And we know there’s still more for us to do, so that makes it even more exciting.”

For the tournament, Nemtuda led the way with 46 kills, Hanlon had 33 kills, Koch had 23 kills, Wuensch had 115 assists, and Schwallie led the defense with 54 digs.

Marian’s start to the season is nearly identical to last year, when they were 8-0 through the Jacobs Invitational, including big wins over St. Francis and Catholic Memorial.

Stevenson entered the tournament final against Marian without a loss in its first 12 matches.

“It’s a great start to the season,” Hanlon said. “It shows that we’re back. We just tried to stay focused on what we knew we could do. We kept it basic, and tried to keep it fast.”

The Hurricanes get a two-day breather before opening up East Suburban Catholic Conference play on Tuesday against Marist, one of only three teams to defeat Marian last year.

Marian Central Catholic’s Meghan Schwallie (11) dives in an attempt to save the point Saturday at the Jacobs Varsity Volleyball Invitational held at Jacobs High School in Algonquin. Marian went on to take first place in the tournament. cord 39 wins and a Class 3A state championship last season was winning the conference title.

“We worked so hard all day, so it means a lot,” Wuensch said. “It’s been fun. We’ve been doing a lot of crazy plays. ... I think in the past couple of days, everything has been forming together.”

Elsewhere in the tournament, CaryGrove (4-5) was 3-2 and lost in the fifth-

place match against Catholic Memorial, Crystal Lake Central (6-3) finished 3-2 and took seventh, and Jacobs placed 12th with a 1-4 record.

Joining Wuensch and Hanlon on the all-tournament team were Cary-Grove’s Maddy Katchen and Amber Olson, Crystal Lake Central’s Kendall Lownds and Camryn Hausler, and Jacobs’ Katelyn Rainsford and Danielle Cassidy.

4 PREP FOOTBALL: LUTHER NORTH ALDEN-HEBRON

Luther North wears down Alden-Hebron

By SEAN HAMMOND

shammond@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Alden-Hebron surrendered a touchdown late in the first half and entered halftime tied with Luther North. Giants coach John Lalor told his team it had to come out strong in the third quarter.

“We talked about it at half,” Lalor said. “And we came out flat right after halftime.”

On the first play of the second half, North quarterback Marcus Wenzel found receiver Joey Hoffman for a 62-yard touchdown pass to give the Wildcats their first lead of the game. Following a stalled A-H drive, Wenzel found Hoffman for another touchdown, this time from 65 yards out.

Just like that, North led 19-7. That score held until the end.

“When you give up something like that after half, everybody starts looking at each other,” Lalor said.

“That takes away anything you accomplished in the first half.”

North coach Chris Griggs said the second long touchdown was not a good pass from Wenzel, but Hoffman “made an incredible play.” He eluded the Giants defense on his way to

“When you give up something like that after half, everybody starts looking at each other. That takes away anything you accomplished in the first half.”

John Lalor Giants coach

the end zone.

“We had double coverage and they just dropped it in over the top,” Lalor said. “We don’t tackle people.

They dropped it in between three defenders. (We were) not aggressive.”

Wenzel finished the game 7-for-19 passing for 189 yards, three touchdowns and an interception. Five of his completions were to Hoffman, who finished with 156 yards and the two scores.

A-H had opened the game strong.

A solid opening drive was stopped when Giants quarterback Austin Stauss was intercepted in the end zone.

Even so, the Giants scored first.

Running back Mason Mindham ran in a touchdown from 10 yards out late in the first quarter. Mindham went on to run for 103 yards on 19 carries and A-H’s only score.

“The line was doing their thing, they were making holes,” Mindham said. “It was kind of easy just to look and get up through it.”

North’s roster size might have worn down the Giants. The Wildcats had 36 players on the roster, compared to A-H’s 20. As the game wore on, the Giants’ offensive line created fewer and fewer holes.

“We knew that they were going to come and run at us, but we wanted to stay in our base front and see if they could keep the same momentum for all four quarters,” Griggs said. “As they got into the third and fourth quarter, their big guys were wearing down and we were getting bigger stops.”

A-H rushed for 156 yards in the game, but 96 of them came in the first half.

Lalor thought it was more mental fatigue than physical.

“I’m disappointed in the way we finished the game,” Lalor said. “We didn’t finish well at all.”

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Luther North is 2-0 under first-year coach Chris Griggs, who spent the past few seasons as an assistant at Walter Payton Prep. Last year, Alden-Hebron beat Luther north by 29 points. Giants coach John Lalor said the Wildcats looked “much improved” under Griggs’ tutelage.

McHenry West grad Sierakowski comfortable in Michigan State offense ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino The first seven games of Ryan Sierakowski’s college soccer career left him with more stress than satisfaction.

“Last year, I had the mindset that if I’m not scoring, I’m not doing my job,” said Sierakowski, a sophomore forward at Michigan State. “I felt like I was letting the team down or that coach would be mad.”

A late-September chat with Spartans head coach Damon Rensing before facing Rutgers put Sierakowski’s mind at ease. What followed was two goals and an assist in a 3-1 Big Ten Conference victory against Rutgers.

Sierakowski, a McHenry West graduate, scored five times over a 19day stretch for the Spartans to blaze his way to a spot on the Freshman AllBig Ten team. His seven goals were the most for an MSU true freshman since 2001.

McHenry West grad Ryan Sierakowski “I’m more of a patient player now,” he said. “When I do put that unnecessary pressure on myself to score goals, that’s when I find myself not scoring.

There are other ways I can influence

the game to benefit my team.”

He said his influence can include defending, winning the ball back, getting assists and creating space for others on the field.

Sierakowski’s patience has paid immediate dividends this season for the Spartans.

In an exhibition game last month, he scored a pair of goals in a 3-2 victory against Syracuse, who was ranked No. 6 in national preseason polls.

Sierakowski scored again in the team’s regular-season opener last Friday in Dallas, a 2-1 upset win against No. 12 SMU. “I knew I could make a difference my Ryan Sierakowski freshman year and create chances,” he said.

“This year, I think I can do some more damage.”

His off-season focus was on making himself “more dangerous in more situations,” said Sierakowski, who has started all 20 games since arriving on campus.

Sierakowski’s biggest adjustment was to how physical Big Ten defenders can be during games.

Who is the Northwest Herald Football Player of the Week?

SPORTS | Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Here are the nominees for the Northwest Herald Football Player of the Week. Voting runs from now until 7 p.m.

Tuesday.

SAMSON EVANS Prairie Ridge, QB Evans was held to 62 yards rushing by Cary-Grove in the season opener, a 26-14 victory.

He broke loose against Huntley with 24 carries for 203 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the Wolves’ 31-20 win Friday. He also threw a 62-yard scoring pass to tight end Austen Ferbet.

• Sunday, September 4, 2016

JARREN JACKSON Marengo, RB Jackson carried 37 times for 208 yards and three touchdowns as the Indians moved to 2-0 for the season with a 38-7 win over Elmwood Park. He also caught three passes for 20 yards.

VINNY MAY Crystal Lake Central, RB May ran 24 times for 151 yards and a pair of touchdowns as the Tigers defeated Crystal Lake South, 27-19. May’s 33-yard run with 3:06 remaining helped seal the game for the Tigers, who are 2-0.

• ON CAMPUS

Continued from page 4 “I enjoy being face up with a defender, driving at the back line,” he said. “That’s where I thrive. Teams knew that’s what I wanted, so they would take it away.

“This off-season, I wanted to figure out how to be effective having my back to the goal and spinning,” he said. “I’ve been working on turning and using my body and the defender’s aggressiveness against him.”

After advancing to the NCAA Elite Eight in 2013 and 2014, Michigan State finished last season 8-9-2, including 2-4-2 in conference play.

“We kind of fell off the map,” Sierakowski said. “We definitely had our highs and lows. That’s the game of

Crystal Lake Central’s Vinny May (24) had a big game as the Tigers defeated Crystal Lake South, 27-19.

ALEX PEETE Johnsburg, RB Peete carried 18 times for 248 yards and three touchdowns as the Skyhawks defeated Rochelle, 46-21, Friday. He had soccer, though. It’s cruel and it’s unpredictable. That’s why a lot of people love it. That’s why I love it.”

The injuries, offensive inconsistencies and loss of two top center midfielders to the pro ranks during last season are memories now.

“We were a really raw team last year,” Sierakowski said. “We had a lot of freshmen play and also guys that were sophomores or juniors who didn’t have a lot of playing time. So it was a good learning experience.”

Flames, Ehrhardt on fire: Jacobs grad Alyssa Ehrhardt helped UIC’s volleyball team to a 3-0 record over the weekend and won the MVP award at Southeast Missouri’s Redhawks Invitational.

The senior outside hitter began the tournament with a career-best 27 kills against Louisiana Tech in

touchdown runs of 66, 7 and 70 yards and also caught three passes for 55 yards and a touchdown. Johnsburg moved to 2-0.

JAKE VINCENT Hampshire, QB Vincent completed 18 of 25 passes for the season-opening match. Over the Flames’ three matches, Ehrhardt compiled 53 kills, 27 digs, eight aces and four blocks while posting a .293 attack percentage.

This week, Ehrhardt was honored as the Horizon League Offensive Player of the Week. The award was her second in two seasons at UIC. UIC’s victories Aug. 27 against New Orleans and the host school gave head coach Katie Schumacher-Cawly 100 career victories in her eighth season at the school.

Ehrhardt, who spent her first two seasons at Toledo, had a career-high 269 kills last season in her first year at UIC. Comeback kids at Murray: D-I Murray State’s volleyball team rallied for a pair of five-set victories Aug. 27 to win the Fort Wayne Invitational.

405 yards and five touchdowns as the Whip-Purs rolled past Burlington Central, 54-14. Vincent has completed 73.6 percent of his passes in two games.

The Racers started the season 3-0 thanks to a pair of Marian Central grads – freshman outside hitter Rachel Giustino and freshman libero Alex Kaufmann. The Racers rebounded from 2-1 deficits to beat both Ball State and Youngstown State.

Giustino made the all-tournament team by racking up 49 kills and a team-high 12 blocks. She posted 20 kills and seven blocks against Youngstown State.

Kaufmann contributed 36 digs in the tournament.

Fahn Cooper, a 2011 Crystal Lake South graduate, was let go by San Francisco. Mike Liedtke, a 2010 Woodstock grad, was released by the New York Jets.

Cooper (6-foot-4, 303 pounds) was a fifth-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft from Mississippi. He began his college career at Bowling Green, played a year at College of DuPage,

then finished with two years at Ole Miss.

Liedtke (6-3, 305) was a running back and defensive end at Woodstock, then switched to the offensive line at Illinois State, where he was on the Redbirds’ NCAA FCS runner-up team two years ago.

Liedtke had been on the practice squads for Miami and Kansas City last season.

Earlier in the week, another local lineman, Jake Bernstein, was cut by Arizone. Bernstein graduated with Cooper from South and played his college football at Vanderbilt.

The following is the Bears’ 53-man roster as of Saturday evening. They will certainly make more roster moves Sunday before returning to Halas Hall on Monday to begin practicing in preparation of the season opener against the Texans.

The Bears’ Pernell McPhee against the Raiders. ers.

The Bears released running back Jacquizz Rodgers, who was a thirddown back and a key player on the special teams units. Jeremy Langford is now the oldest Bears running back at 24 years old, leading the group with Ka’Deem Carey and Jordan Howard.

Fullback Paul Lasike also made the roster.

At tight end, the Bears released Tony Moeaki and Rob Housler and waived Ben Braunecker. The undrafted rookie, Braunecker, could return to the practice squad. Converted defensive lineman Greg Scruggs and Khari Lee, last year’s backup tight end, will join Zach Miller at the position.

The final spots on the offensive line went to tackle Mike Adams, guard Amini Silatolu, center Cornelius Edison. The Bears released Khaled

Holmes, Garry Williams and Shelley Smith and waived Jason Weaver.

Former Phil Emery draft pick Ego Ferguson, a second-rounder in 2014, was waived/injured. Other Emery picks on the D-line – Will Sutton and Cornelius Washington – did make the roster.

The Bears also waived the following players: inside linebacker John Timu, cornerback Kevin Peterson, cornerback De’Vante Bausby, wide receiver B.J. Daniels. defensive tackle Terry Williams, cornerback Taveze Calhoun and long snapper Patrick Scales. Linebacker Danny Mason was waived/injured.

Timu, Bausby and Williams were with the practice squad last year and could certainly be back on the 10-man practice squad that the Bears can begin to establish at noon Sunday.

QUARTERBACK (2): Jay Cutler, Brian Hoyer RUNNING BACK (3): Jeremy Langford, Ka’Deem Carey, Jordan Howard FULLBACK (1): Paul Lasike WIDE RECEIVER (6): Alshon Jeffery, Kevin White, Eddie Royal, Josh Bellamy, Deonte Thompson, Cameron Meredith TIGHT END (3): Zach Miller, Khari Lee, Greg Scruggs OFFENSIVE LINE (8): Charles Leno Jr., Cody Whitehair, Ted Larsen, Kyle Long, Bobby Massie, Cornelius Edison, Amini Silatolu, Mike Adams DEFENSIVE LINE (6): Akiem Hicks, Eddie Goldman, Mitch Unrein, Jonathan Bullard, Cornelius Washington, Will Sutton INSIDE LINEBACKERS (4): Danny Trevathan, Jerrell Freeman, Jonathan Anderson, Nick Kwiatkoski OUTSIDE LINEBACKERS (5): Willie Young, Lamarr Houston, Leonard Floyd, Sam Acho, Christian Jones CORNERBACKS (7): Tracy Porter, Kyle Fuller, Bryce Callahan, Deiondre’ Hall, Sherrick McManis, Jacoby Glenn, Demontre Hurst SAFETIES (5): Adrian Amos, Harold Jones-Quartey, Chris Prosinski, Deon Bush, DeAndre Houston-Carson SPECIALISTS (3): Robbie Gould, Pat O’Donnell, Aaron Brewer Saturday’s cuts created the Bears’ initial 53-man roster, as they can claim any of the hundreds of players waived prior to 11 a.m. Sunday.

Report: Bears sign Pro Bowl guard Kyle Long to four-year extension Long will get most guaranteed money of any guard in the NFL

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com The Bears and Kyle Long have agreed to a new four-year deal worth $40 million, with $30 million guaranteed, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

The $30 million guaranteed is the

most for any guard in the league. The $10 million per year contract average is second-highest at the position be-

hind Oakland’s Kelechi Osemele.

Long, the team’s first-round pick in 2013, has made the Pro Bowl in each of his three NFL seasons. The 27-year-old played right guard in 2013-14 and then made the move to right tackle prior to the 2015 season.

He is back at right guard for 2016, but he has missed time this summer because of calf and shoulder injuries.

The shoulder has kept Long out for two weeks, but John Fox hinted at getting Long practicing again this week prior to the season opener in Houston.

The Bears had activated Long’s fifth-year option, worth $8.82 million

for 2017, but this gives him a big pay raise for 2016 and beyond. With a fouryear deal, too, Long could conceivably get another multi-year contract in his NFL career.

Long has become not only the most decorated player on the field for the Bears as of 2016 with his three Pro Bowls, but he is one of the clear leaders in the locker room and the glue for an offensive line with three new players.

Locking down Long was a no-brainer for Ryan Pace and the second contract extension the second-year GM has made after signing Willie Young to a new deal in August.

• Sunday, September 4, 2016

The Bears set their initial 53-man roster Saturday by releasing 20 players and moving Pernell McPhee and Marquess Wilson to the reserve/physically-unable-to-perform list.

McPhee, the team’s best defensive player when healthy last season, will miss at least the first six games of the season. He has yet to practice following offseason knee surgery. The earliest McPhee could return would be for the Bears’ Week 7 game in Green Bay. Wilson has been on the PUP list all summer after refracturing his foot.

The biggest surprise cut was wide receiver Marc Mariani.

Having not played in the preseason finale on Thursday, Mariani’s roster spot seemed safe. The seventh-year player had 22 catches for 300 yards last season and was the team’s punt returner.

“Very thankful for my coaches and teammates [with the Bears],” Mariani tweeted. “Those bonds will last forever. Disappointed today, but excited for what’s next!”

At the same position, the Bears also waived seventh-round rookie Daniel Braverman, who had turned heads in training camp, but didn’t do much in preseason games as a receiver or returner. Braverman is the first draft pick the Bears have cut prior to the regular season since 2012. He could return to the practice squad if he clears waivers.

Deonte Thompson, Cameron Meredith and Josh Bellamy did make the team as the reserve receivers.

Quarterback David Fales was waived, but he is eligible for the practice squad, where he has spent most of his two NFL seasons, if he clears waiv-

Ace showdown: Bumgarner, Giants knock off Arrieta, Cubs

By MIKE CRANSTON The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Madison Bumgarner facing Jake Arrieta had an October feel to it, and the San Francisco Giants performed like they belong in the postseason.

Bumgarner outpitched Arrieta with 10 strikeouts over six innings, and San Francisco pounced on rare miscues by the Cubs in a 3-2 victory on Saturday.

Bumgarner (14-8) allowed two runs and five hits in his fourth victory in his last five starts. San Francisco, trying to catch Los Angeles in the NL West, rebounded from a pair of onerun losses in the first two games of the four-game set against the major league leaders.

“We’re going up against a team that, I don’t think they’ve clinched yet, but they’re going to be there,” Bumgarner said. “And we’re planning on being there. So it’s a playoff-type of AP photo matchup.”

Cubs starter Jake Arrieta pitches during the first inning against the San Francisco Giants The Giants had a major league-best Saturday in Chicago.

57-33 record at the All-Star break. But

they are just 16-29 since that point, leaving them looking up at the Dodgers and clinging to the top spot in the wild-card race.

Arrieta (16-6) was charged with three runs – two earned – and four hits in six innings in his first loss since July 30. The Cubs had won five in a row overall.

“A little bad luck, a little missed execution,” Arrieta said.

The Cubs had one last chance when pinch hitter Anthony Rizzo led off the ninth with a walk against Will Smith.

Rizzo advanced on a sacrifice by Dexter Fowler, but the big first baseman was caught off second on the play.

Kris Bryant then hit a soft lineout to shortstop Brandon Crawford, handing Santiago Casilla his 30th save.

The Cubs also had an opportunity in the sixth, but Bumgarner struck out Matt Szczur for the third time with two on. Hunter Strickland got Addison Russell to line to right with the bases loaded in the seventh.

The sputtering Giants had dropped three of four and eight of 12 overall.

TWINS 11, WHITE SOX 3

Sano, Plouffe homer in big inning; Twins beat White Sox

By DAVE CAMPBELL The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS – Miguel Sano and Trevor Plouffe each homered during an eight-run third inning, and the Minnesota Twins went deep four times in an 11-3 victory over the White Sox on Saturday night.

Brian Dozier led off with his 34th homer, and Byron Buxton tacked on a two-run shot in the second against beleaguered starter James Shields (517). The Twins have 162 homers with 26 games to go, the most they’ve hit in six years with a pace to post their highest total since their championship season in 1987.

Hector Santiago (11-8) won for the first time in six starts since the Twins acquired him in late July from the Los Angeles Angels, finishing six innings with three runs allowed and six strikeouts.

Santiago was coming off his best performance with Minnesota – 61/3 scoreless innings at Cleveland. The left-hander cruised through this one

after allowing a leadoff home run to Adam Eaton. Santiago for gave up four hits and three walks, boosted by an 11-2 lead he took into the fourth.

Shields – also a midseason acquisition – kept on struggling. Shipped east by the San Diego Padres in early June, he is 3-10 in 17 starts for the Sox. Shields has a 7.50 ERA with his new club, averaging exactly five innings a turn.

Shields was checked by a team athletic trainer following a leadoff walk to Plouffe in the third and pulled with one out.

He was charged with five runs after giving up four walks and five hits, including a two-run smash by Sano that landed in the third deck above left field.

The Sox needed two more relievers to finish the inning, capped by a three-run shot by Plouffe.

Max Kepler had two doubles among his three hits, Dozier stole two bases and Buxton went 3 for 4 with a pair of doubles to go with his soaring home run.

TENNIS: U.S. OPEN

Serena Williams’ shoulder ‘feels solid,’ looks even better

By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press

NEW YORK – So about that inflamed right shoulder that was supposed to hinder Serena Williams at the U.S. Open as she seeks a record 23rd major title: It sure seems to be just fine.

“Definitely feels solid,” Williams said.

Not sure? There’s plenty of evidence.

No need to take her word – or her coach’s – for it.

Look at the way Williams beat 47thranked Johanna Larsson 6-1, 6-1 on Saturday to reach the fourth round at Flushing Meadows and collect the 307th Grand Slam match victory of her career, surpassing Martina Navratilova for most by a woman in the Open era and equaling Roger Federer for most by anyone since 1968.

Williams reached 121 mph on a serve.

She had a half-dozen aces, bringing her total this week to 31. She faced only one

break point – her first of the tournament – and saved it. She smacked seven return winners. She compiled a 24-5 total edge in winners.

“Tennis-wise, I think it was very satisfying in all aspects. It’s not perfect, of course,” said her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou. “But for someone who didn’t play much matches in the last two months, I think she’s competitive.”

Now there’s an understatement.

“There is no pain. Maybe she feels a little. I don’t know; I’m not in her shoulder. But I see she plays normal. She serves normal. At practice, she serves the quantity that we usually do, full power,” Mouratoglou said. “So I don’t see any problem. And she doesn’t even talk about it. I know it’s under control now.”

That sounds like bad news for upcoming opponents, starting with 52ndranked Yaroslava Shvedova, who advanced to the round of 16 in New York for the first time by beating Zhang Shuai 6-2, 7-5.

12 ILLINOIS 52, MURRAY STATE 3

Illinois opens Smith era with win over Murray State

By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press

CHAMPAIGN – Lovie Smith has made no secret that Illinois’ defense was the strength of the team.

On Saturday, the Illini proved him right, rolling up six sacks and pulling in a pair of decisive early interceptions in a 52-3 win over Murray State.

Quarterback KD Humphries threw the two interceptions on the Racers’ first two drives, and both led to Wes Lunt touchdown passes and an early 14-0 Illini (1-0) lead.

“It’s critical, it’s (a) winning edge,” said Smith, who was coaching his first game at Illinois and first game as a college head coach. “A lot of guys talk about it, but our guys believe in it, and that’s the first step: to get people to buy into it.”

Illinois crushed the Racers’ run game, limiting Murray State to -10 yards on 26 carries.

Murray State coach Mitch Stewart said he did not believe his team was overwhelmed by the idea of playing a Big Ten school, or facing a coaching staff led by a coach who led the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

“I forgot my phone before the game, I was going to get a selfie with (Smith),” Stewart joked.

With Illinois’ defense keeping Murray State (0-1) in check, Illini quarterback Wes Lunt threw for 226 yards and three touchdowns heading to the bench in the third quarter.

Kendrick Foster also ran for a pair of 56-yard touchdowns for Illinois. He carried the ball just four times for 118 yards.

A year ago the Illini had just seen coach Tim Beckman fired, and Smith became their third coach in less than a year after Beckman-replacement Bill Cubit was fired.

Smith said the win, no matter the op-

“We’re going to enjoy wins, period, no matter who it’s against,” Smith said.

“But we realize it’s one, and tomorrow we’ll be right back at it.”

The takeaway: Murray State: Stewart talked before the game about his hope that his team would not give in to nerves. Early, the Racers looked a little overwhelmed with dropped passes, stumbles by receivers and Humphries’ dangerous throws, including the two first quarter interceptions. In addition to pressure from Illinois, Humphries’ early struggles may have reflected that, Stewart said.

“His footwork was awful back there.

I think he was just antsy,” Stewart said.

Illinois: Illinois showed it can force turnovers, as Smith preaches, and turn them into points. And it’s clear the Illini have some big-play capability. But even with 287 rushing yards, Illinois never really opened the holes in the Murray State defense Smith has said he wants to see for starting tailback Ke’Shawn Vaughn. The sophomore finished with 49 yards on 17 carries. And tougher opposition is on the way in North Carolina and Western Michigan before the Big Ten opener against Nebraska.

EnvironmentTip U.S. No. 1 in waste

Reducing the amount of waste we generate is an important value to build. Check out these numbers: • Americans use 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour, most of which are thrown away.

• Plastic bags and other plastic garbage thrown into the ocean kill as many as 1 million sea creatures every year.

• A modern glass bottle takes 4 thousand years or more to decompose.

• About one-third of an

average landfill is made up of packaging material.

• We toss out 2 billion plastic razors, a million and a half tons of paper towels and 12 billion disposable diapers annually.

• The U.S. is the No. 1 trash-producing country in

the world at 1,609 pounds a person per year. This means 5 percent of the world’s people generate 40 percent of the world’s waste.

BOSTON – Bike lanes are evolving.

Cities increasingly are changing them to make them safer in light of fatal crashes involving cyclists and cars.

From Boston to San Francisco and New York to Tokyo, traditional bike lanes running alongside vehicle traffic are being replaced in favor of “protected” lanes or “cycletracks,” where physical barriers like concrete curbs, planters or fences separate cyclists from vehicle traffic.

“For 50 years, we’ve just been putting down a stripe of white paint, and that was how you accommodated bikes on busy streets,” said Martha Roskowski, director of People for Bikes, a Boulder, Colorado-based advocacy group that’s calling for better designed bike lanes. “What we’ve learned is that simply doesn’t work for most.”

A summary of how bike lanes are changing around the world:

Where it’s happening

Protected lanes have been sprouting up in the U.S. since at least 2007, when New York started rolling them out on a wide scale.

Today, there are roughly 240 miles of lanes in 94 cities, according to People for Bikes. That’s an increase from about 100 miles of lanes in 32 cities in 2013, though still a tiny fraction of all bike lanes, Roskowski said.

This year alone, at least two dozen cities so far have installed new types of lanes, the organization said.

In Chicago, Mayor Rahm Emanuel has promised to build 50 miles of the lanes over the next three years on top of 9 miles this year.

And in greater Boston, where recent fatal cycle accidents have prompted calls for better lanes, a short stretch of Beacon Street leading to the Fenway Park area has been reconfigured.

Rows of parked cars now serve as a buffer to cyclists, and there are plans to extend that path and incorporate the design on other major arteries.

Not created equal

Designs for protected lanes vary by city, and not all have been warmly received.

Along a short part of San Francisco’s famous Market Street, pavement nearest the curb recently was built up higher than vehicle lanes to create a distinct path for bikes.

But Chris Cassidy, of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, said the city’s first test of a “raised” bike lane still leaves something to be desired because vehicles still are parking in the lane.

Construction of a parked-car-protected bike path along Prospect Park required elimination of one vehicle lane in 2010.

Norman Steisel, a former deputy mayor, said he and other Park Slope Mikael Colville-Andersen residents simply dispute the traffic and CEO of Copenhagenize Design Co., a Danish safety data on which the city based its firm that works with cities on bike final decision. “You’ve got to be someinfrastructure projects what respectful for how you get these things done,” he said.

these routes are separated from vehicle traffic at crucial segments by a curb.

The city also has seen lofty proposals for elevated bike highways spanning the Thames River or running above railway lines, as well as underground bike paths utilizing old subway tunnels.

Asia and beyond

Tokyo and other Japanese cities long have had a strong cycling culture, but some of their protected lanes are placed directly on sidewalks.

That presents challenges as cyclists and pedestrians sometimes compete for the same space, said Mikael Colville-Andersen, CEO of Copenhagenize Design Co., a Danish firm that works with cities on bike infrastructure projects.

Two of China’s largest cities, Guangzhou and Shanghai, also are investing heavily in protected lanes and other bike infrastructure, experts say, and India has made progress in improving its lanes.

In South America, the Argentinean capital of Buenos Aires has built nearly 90 miles of bike lanes, many of them protected, in just three years.

“Cities are becoming more rational again, after the folly of car-centric planning,” Colville-Andersen said.

eing homeless can harden a person, Laurie Fuglestad says, but a garden has helped soften her around the edges.

Having previously been homeless for about three years, Fuglestad was given a unique opportunity in late 2014: become the manager of a community-based garden that helps people like herself get back on their feet. She could live on the property, too.

“I direct people on what to pick, what not to pick and how to plant it,” she said. “If you enjoy this, which I ended up loving it, it’s a great motivator. It’s pretty much become my life, and it’s been Jan’s dream.”

Jan is Janet Dolan, who began The AARRK Garden on a plot at a Crystal Lake church. The garden since has moved and grown to 2 acres, located at 11505 Price Road in Hebron.

“It’s not only helping the homeless give back to society, but educating the community about the homeless problem,” Dolan said. “There are a lot of people who just don’t want to even see it. My goal is to show people that there are a number of homeless people in our community, and they need help.”

See AARRK, page 5

Homeless workers from PADS and New Horizons earn money while helping to till the soil, plant seeds, cultivate and harvest vegetables.

“The goal of this is for them to get another job. This is a segue into society. It’s not permanent employment; it’s the doorway.”

also is supported by sales of the food produced. The McHenry County Community Foundation recently awarded the garden $5,000 to expand, including construction of a hoop house, which is a soft-sided greenhouse that allows planting to begin earlier and harvesting to last longer.

Dolan drafted a business plan, which includes working off the assumption a percentage of the homeless population are not just capable of maintaining employment, but also need and want to do so.

“If they’re using the money for drugs or alcohol, they’re not wanting to help themselves too much,” she said. “That person usually doesn’t work out here, and it unravels itself.”

Continued from page 4 Most workers at AARRK come through the emergency homeless center PADS in Woodstock or veterans shelter New Horizons in Hebron.

Dolan often will provide them with a ride to and from the garden, where for $10 an hour, they till, plant, weed and harvest.

“The goal of this is for them to get another job,” Dolan said. “This is a segue into society. It’s not permanent employment; it’s the doorway.”

The AARRK largely has relied on donations, including not paying rent, in its four years of existence, but

Anyone under the influence isn’t asked back, and there have been many conversations about it, Dolan said.

“It’s really an atmosphere that gives them a sense of doing something worthwhile,” she said. “If you spend time out on the streets and homeless, eventually their self-esteem starts to wear down and they feel depressed, like they deserve it.

And it’s hard to get out of that.”

Last year, the garden produced nearly 10,000 pounds of food that was given away. This year, the goal has been to follow a community-supported agriculture business model and create a client base to bring in a profit. For $5, customers receive a grocery

bag full of vegetables and, depending on the growing season, could receive fresh vegetables for 10 weeks or more.

When the garden first started, they planted whatever seeds were donated. Now, they focus more on what worked best and what people seem to want, such as lettuces, peas, and other kinds of beans.

Much of it has been trial and error.

“In years prior, we really were very blessed, and we are this year, too, but the corn – there’s nothing there,” Dolan said. “There are stalks of corn with nothing on them, and we’re trying to figure out what we did wrong there.”

Dolan has big dreams: to be a self-sustained farm with solar power, or maybe even wind power.

She also says her model can be duplicated and taken anywhere in the world. Gardening takes time and practice, she said, but not rocket science.

“It’s been fun learning and growing,” Dolan said. “If you’re not making mistakes, you ain’t doin’ nothin’.”

Author Spotlight

JOYCE ZEMBA

Hometown: Huntley (formerly Milwaukee, Wis.) Latest Book: “A Life Like Nun Other” Publisher: AuthorHouse Release Date: July 27, 2010 Available: On Amazon, AuthorHouse Publishing or Barnes & Noble

What’s it about?

It is an autobiography of my past life as a nun.

It spans 1959-1971. It explains religious formation and service. It also highlights two sisters I was very close to and both of my grandmothers, who influenced me. It also gives insight into the experiences I had during the civil rights movement. It talks about how and why I left that life and moved to another.

Where did the idea come from?

I was encouraged by my cousin Kevin, who was always fascinated by my experience as a nun. I also thought it would be of interest to my five young grandchildren when they grew up.

I wanted them to know a part of my life that would probably not have been open to them.

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

It took me four years to write this simple book.

I made an outline and wrote a few pages every once in awhile in a notebook. I would send a few pages at a time to my cousin in Florida, and he would type them on his computer. My daughter took over for a time, and then my husband helped wrapping it up.

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

I enjoyed the excitement it created by family members who awaited reading about experiences I could not share about the past. I enjoyed bringing back the good and bad memories knowing I could get this information out to the public.

The hard part was organizing the material. I also found it hard to discipline myself to write daily.

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

This book was self-published by AuthorHouse because I wanted to avoid traditional publishing expenses. AuthorHouse did market the book, but for the most part I did very well marketing it myself.

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

Religious nonfiction. I was driven to be part of service to the church as a child, having been educated by nuns in elementary school.

Who is the intended audience?

Anyone who has always wondered about life in a convent or desired to enter religious life.

Senior citizens who had nuns as teachers are generally curious, as well as most adults who were not alive during the era when nuns were so prevalent. Those who never had nuns or knew about the Catholic faith would really be enlightened.

Why is this story important to you?

It is important because it had a huge impact on my life and helped form the person I am today.

It is part of an era that is fading from history and needs to be passed on.

What is your education/background?

I graduated from Alverno College with a bachelor’s degree. I graduated from Concordia University with a master’s degree.

How/why did you decide to write a book?

I decided to write a book to share an unusual lifestyle with the grandchildren.

Who are your favorite authors?

I enjoy many authors. I don’t limit myself to

one in particular.

Pick one: Danielle Steel or John Grisham?

John Grisham Pick one: Stephen King or Nicholas Sparks?

Nicholas Sparks Have you written anything else?

I am writing a sequel to the book about my experiences as an elementary principal.

It will put into print what most principals would never tell you and delve into other life experiences.

Why we choose difficult people to love A man is sitting in my office.

His complaint is that his wife is not affectionate, doesn’t want to sit with him in the evening holding hands while watching television and is always on her cell phone.

He says he feels unloved, taken for granted, disappointed. This is his third marriage. He has never felt completely satisfied with any of his mates. It seems none of them wanted to spend time with him. He has a hard time being alone.

She, it seems, has a hard time being totally present. In terms of their histories, he had a mother who was distant and who preferred his older brother. She had an alcoholic father who was emotionally demanding.

A woman comes every week to complain about the relationships she has with men. The men she has married, dated or considered moving in with run to a type: They are controlling, verbally abusive and demanding.

She does not understand why she keeps falling into this “trap.” I

have given her the “warning sign” material, and she has read it. “Yes,” she agrees, there were warning signs. She sighs. “I thought he would change,” she says. She suffers from unrequited hope. And, she suffers over and over, and over again. She has a difficult time setting limits.

The men she is attracted to set firm limits (for her, at least), and appear to be inflexible.

There is a theory that we pick mates to work out unresolved relationships with the opposite sex parent (or, if we are gay/lesbian, the same sex parent.) While there is some truth to that, I think there is at least one other reason we choose difficult people to love. I think we enjoy the challenge.

While we prefer friends who are similar to us, who enjoy the same activities and share the same values, we sometimes fall in love with our opposites because we are lacking some qualities they have. And, maybe they are attracted to us for similar reasons. In healthy relationships, we

StraightTalk Rick Atwater

learn from one another. We develop the qualities we admire in the other, and the relationship brings out the best in both of us. In dysfunctional relationships, the disparate qualities remain ensconced in the other and become a source of friction.

I am disorganized, for example. I admire people who can order their environments and keep them that way. I tend to leave tools where I last used them, clean off the table only when I need a work space. My beloved is very neat and organized, and there is some friction in our relationship because of this difference.

But, I am learning to leave my keys where I can find them. My beloved is learning to go with the flow. A little.

Sometimes.

My mother and I were alike, and my father was like my partner. He believed in “A place for everything, and everything in its place.” Bless his heart! He was destined to live in a house where there was never a fixed place for anything. Sometimes he would organize the kitchen, even

give a tutorial on how convenient everything was now, how easy to find.

My mother would cook a meal, and all bets were off. The kitchen would remain messy and disorganized until the next time he got upset about it and showed her how it was done.

So, if you are beginning to recognize a pattern in your relationships – especially a pattern you want to change – look into your own head for the change that needs to happen. Opposites attract, but that doesn’t mean they always stay together.

Differences give us an opportunity to learn compromise, cooperation and compassion. And that, my friend, is a whole lot better than stubbornness, competition and judgementalism.

Learning to be useful to others through sobriety “Don” wasn’t helpful at home. In fact, Don wasn’t very helpful anywhere. He wasn’t interested, and it didn’t fit into his plan. He just didn’t think of it unless someone asked, and then he avoided or resented it.

If someone asked for Don’s help, which was rare because he had trained them otherwise, he would sigh loudly and have more than a passing thought about how he could get out of it. The only assistance he had any interest in offering was the kind that netted something for him.

Don’s main activity was drinking beer. It was his hobby, pastime, lover, best and only friend. Helping in almost any form, in his opinion, was cutting into his recreational and relaxation – drinking – time, his “only time to relax” he would remind his family. After all, he thought, “I work

hard and put food on the table.”

His alcoholism had picked up momentum over the years led by self-centeredness and followed closely by pride and ego. The only reason Don even considered sobriety was his parents threatened to cut him out of the will. He figured he’d stop for a while, give it a break, get a little rest, and when his mom passed he could resume his normal activities.

It was in this way that during his treatment stay he accidentally was introduced to a new way of thinking and acting. It started with a change in his desire to stay sober. Once that decision was made, then how to stay that way became the issue. He was told one among several things he needed to do was to help others. He found, at first, helping others still

felt like a burden, something he had to do. It was suggested to him by his AA sponsor that despite the fact he didn’t like the process he should stick to it. His sponsor, it seemed, always had something for him to do or someone for him to help; rides for non-drivers to meetings, reminder calls, hospital visits or going to outof-town meetings.

“Won’t it ever be enough?” he would complain. His sponsor’s answer was, “No, if you want to stay sober.”

But soon something changed.

Don found helping others gave him a sense of purpose and meaning. He stayed sober long enough to start to feel almost good and good about himself, a feeling he hadn’t had in years.

Soon Don was looking for ways to

help and found he was consistently happier when he was giving, which he discovered was a function of not hanging out so much in his own head, his own selfish thoughts.

“Who would of thought,” his sponsor would chuckle, “that a self-centered guy like you could turn out to be useful?”

What had once been a debilitating, alcohol-fueling character problem, through sobriety and recovery, had been transformed into a life-saving asset.

Say this prayer nine times a day, on the eighth day your prayers will be answered. It has never been known to fail. Publication must be promised.
