Good morning, McHenry County ...

Election preparation process underway Members of Northwest Herald’s Editorial Board on Monday began their meetings with candidates who will appear in contested races in the November election.

We schedule these meetings each election cycle to give us an opportunity to get to know the candidates and to better prepare us for our endorsements. Candidates for McHenry County Board Districts 1 and 2 were first up.

Candidates for the remaining County Board districts, County Board chairman, state’s attorney, recorder and contested state representative and state senate seats have been invited to future meetings.

Our endorsements simply are the Editorial Board’s recommendations for who we think the best choices are in each race, based on our own views on the issues. But voters should go to the polls with their own evaluation of the candidates and the issues.

We also sent questionnaires to all candidates in contested races. We expect to launch Election Central, which hosts candidates’ responses to our questions, at NWHerald.com

MADRID – A gold wedding ring lost more than 37 years ago has been returned to its owner after a scuba diver found it in the waters off the eastern coastal city of Benidorm last month and began a social media search.

Diving instructor Jessica Cuesta gave the ring back to Agustin Aliaga on Monday at his bar in a village near the northeastern city of Zaragoza. After finding the ring last month, Cuesta posted a photo of it on Facebook and gave the date inscribed on it – Feb. 17, 1979.

She asked people to share the post, and more than 80,000 people did, with word finally reaching Aliaga and his wife, Juani Sanchez.

Aliaga said he lost it while swimming several months after marrying.

UNIQUE PRESENTATION

McHenry-based business Skewer This transforming dishes, cocktails

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com McHENRY – A new McHenry-based business is trying to transform cocktails and restaurant dishes to make them even more visually appealing and memorable. The company is

called Skewer This, and it was started

by McHenry resident William Metropulos in November 2015 with the help of friends and family.

Metropulos created Skewer This, 4155 W. Orleans St., after going to a Bloody Mary bar with his daughter, Olympia, and seeing that the ingredi-

ents on the top of his alcoholic beverage were put together with toothpicks.

“If you took one toothpick out, three pieces of food would fall out onto the floor,” Metropulos said. “So it immediately clicked. I went home that night, carved a potato, put toothpicks and straws all around it, then I

thought this could fit around the rim of any glass. But it will be skewers instead of toothpicks.”

Metropulos eventually developed a product that uses interlocking skewers people easily could take off and eat

ISLAND LAKE

Woman dies in house fire NORTHWEST HERALD

ISLAND LAKE – A 56-year-old woman died early Monday after she was found during a house fire in Island Lake, officials said.

The woman was identified Monday afternoon as Joanne Till of Island Lake, Lake County Chief Deputy Coroner Orlando Portillo said. The results of the autopsy still are pending the toxicology report, which will identify carbon monoxide levels, he said.

Portillo said the Lake County Coro-

ner’s Office and Island Lake police will continue to investigate the cause of death.

Wauconda Fire District crews responded to the 200 block of South Shore Drive in Island Lake about 3:33 a.m. for a reported structure fire. Heavy fire was coming through the roof of the single-story home.

During the initial search of the home, Till was located and removed from the structure. Lifesaving procedures were unsuccessful, and she was pronounced dead at the scene, fire officials said.

The fire was under control by 4:09 a.m.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation by Wauconda Fire District investigators and the Illinois State Fire Marshal. Because of the extensive damage, it is unclear whether there were working smoke detectors in the home.

Wauconda Fire District Battalion Chief Pat Kane said Monday afternoon that while the cause still is under investigation, there was nothing suspicious about it.

Nunda, Cary, Fox River Grove, Wonder Lake, Lake Zurich and Countryside fire departments assisted on the scene.

HUNTLEY

Auction raises $18K for sergeant’s family NORTHWEST HERALD HUNTLEY – An auction of a 2002 California Highway Patrol Camaro has raised more than $18,000 for the family of Huntley Police Sgt. L.J. Marak, who lost his battle with cancer in August.

The car, originally decorated to honor Fox Lake Police Lt. Joseph Gliniewicz after he was killed in September 2015, has since been restored to its black and white appearance after it was discovered that Gliniewicz’s death was a staged suicide.

The final bidding came in at $18,750 Monday afternoon, according to a news release from the Volo Auto Museum, which originally put the ve-

The owner after the first auction, Tim Potoczny, was

a high school classmate of Marak, and decided to sell the car after hearing about the

40-year-old’s death. The money will benefit Marak’s widow, Kim Marak, and three sons, Sammy, Ben and Leo. “I’m so, so sorry for their loss,” Potoczny said in the release. “I’m glad that we found a way to offer a measure of help. I am excited and encouraged to witness the generosity displayed in this auction and to end this collector-car ownership on a very positive note.”

The car’s new owner – Mike Del Puppo of Sanger, California – is a patrol car collector, retired police officer and former special deputy U.S. marshal, according to the release.

D-158 approves final budget

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – The Huntley School District 158 Board unanimously approved a budget for the next fiscal year, board President Donald Drzal said.

One of the most notable changes from recent years is the school is expecting to receive about $21.8 million in general state aid – $1.5 million more than last year, he said.

This is due to general state aid being prorated at 100 percent this year, according to the budget.

“This the first time we’ve seen that in quite a number of years,” Drzal said. “So that creates a situation for us where it makes the budgeting process a little easier than in past years. … You’re always a little nervous about how it’s all going to play [out.]”

The fiscal 2017 budget shows an increase in spending and revenue compared with last year. The district is

“This the first time we’ve seen that in quite a number of years.

So that creates a situation for us where it makes the budgeting process a little easier than in past years. … You’re always a little nervous about how it’s all going to play [out.]”

Donald Drzal

District 158 board president expected to take in about $97.8 million and spend about $97.5 million next year, according to the budget.

Last year, the district took in about $93.5 million and spent about $93.4 million, according to the budget.

Another change in this year’s bud-

get is the allocation of about $200,000 for the possible implementation of an alternative school program at Huntley High School in the spring, Drzal said.

The program would be for students who are academically at risk, Drzal said, and help put them in a different environment to succeed, which would require additional staffing. At this point, only the concept has been approved by the board, he said.

“We just want to make sure that those who are preparing to graduate, such as juniors and seniors, are given an opportunity to be in an alternative environment that allows them to succeed and therefore graduate,” Drzal said.

If implemented, the program could expand to middle school students, too, Drzal said.

A full copy of the proposed budget can be found under the Board of Education section of the district’s website, www.district158.org.

Garage fire leaves C’ville home uninhabitable, fire official says

CARPENTERSVILLE – A garage fire Monday left a single-family home in Carpentersville uninhabitable, a fire official said.

Carpentersville Fire Department Battalion Chief Bob Beattie said crews responded about 3:30 p.m. to the 300 block of Merrywell Court for reports of a garage fire.

The fire started outside of the attached garage, Beattie said, and then spread to the attic of the garage. The fire did not reach the home, but did cause smoke damage, Beattie said.

One man and two dogs escaped the residence before crews arrived, Beattie said. No one was injured in the fire, he said.

Beattie did not have a damage estimate, but said there were no vehicles in the garage. He said the home was deemed uninhabitable because of smoke and carbon monoxide levels.

West Dundee Fire Department, Rutland-Dundee Fire Department, Algon-

quin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District and Carpentersville police also responded, Beattie said.

HUNTLEY – Two drivers were cited after a two-vehicle crash Monday on Route 47 in Huntley, a police official said.

Huntley Police Sgt. Scott Sullivan said police and the Huntley Fire Protection District responded about 5:05 p.m. to Route 47 north of Reed Road.

A 2016 Subaru Legacy driven by 19-year-old Clarissa Kee of Woodstock was traveling north on Route 47 when it was struck from behind by a 2014 Chevrolet Spark, Sullivan said. Route 47 merges from two lanes to one at that point, he said.

The Subaru Legacy then spun out, blocking the northbound lane of Route 47, Sullivan said.

Neither driver was injured in the crash, and there were no passengers in either car, he said.

Both cars sustained heavy damaged, and police closed northbound Route 47 for about 30 minutes while the cars were towed, Sullivan said.

Kee was cited with failure to yield while merging, Sullivan said. The driver of the Chevrolet Spark, 24-year-old

Ryan Ostrega of Belvidere, was cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid a crash, Sullivan said.

Part of Metropulos’ team consists of his partner Geoff Brossard, who handles the company’s marketing and web design, and Metropulos’ son, Dimitri, who is currently working on building the company’s social media presence.

“Things have been great overall,” William said. “I’ve had several family members come in and help. It’s a great team here. Everyone has chipped in [and] worked hard.”

The early steps to creating the business involved establishing partnerships, building tools and molding.

As for getting Skewdats inside bars and restaurants, Metropulos would bring the product in a demo kit to var-

ious locations, showing bar and restaurant owners the creative ways they could use his product. Metropulos said his first sale was with spirits

manufacturer Beam Suntory. The two businesses have been working together ever since.

“When [Metropulos]

came out with Skewdats and showed me the original concept, I thought it was a brilliant idea,” said Ken Ruff, vice president of national accounts, on-premise at Beam Suntory. “We have an imported vodka, Effen Vodka, that lends itself well to Bloody Marys, so we’ve been promoting the Bloody Marys with Skewdats.”

Metropulos said his product is in every Binny’s Beverage Depot, and several bars and restaurants nationwide already are using it. Metropulos said he’s also working with grocery stores to be able to sell his product to shoppers.

One McHenry County restaurant that has been using the Skewdat for a few weeks is the Crystal Lake Rib House.

“It has such a visual impact that our customers are impressed by,” Rib House owner Dave Faccone said.

“And the fact that this product reduces the time it takes to make a giant Bloody Mary with all the ingredients on top is great.”

Better read this if you own a home in the U.S. and were born before 1954.

NO MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS?2 EXTRA CASH? It’s a fact: no monthly mortgage payments are required with a reverse mortgage loan;2 the homeowners only have to pay for maintenance, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees.

Another fact many are not aware of is that HECM reverse mortgages first took hold when President Reagan signed the FHA Reverse Mortgage Bill into law 28 years ago in order to help senior citizens remain in their homes.

Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy their retirement.

Although today’s HECM reverse mortgages have been improved to provide even greater financial protection for homeowners, there are still many misconceptions.

For example, a lot of people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a HECM reverse mortgage loan, which is not the case. In fact, one key benefit of a HECM is that it automatically pays off your existing mortgage, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for seniors living on a fixed income. Unfortunately, many senior homeowners who could benefit from a HECM loan don’t even bother to get more information because of rumors they’ve heard.

That’s a shame because HECM reverse mortgages are helping many senior homeowners live a better life.

In fact, a recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one HECM lender, found that over 90% of their clients are satisfied with their reverse mortgages.

While these special loans are not for everyone, they can be a real lifesaver for senior homeowners like Betty Carter, who recently took out a HECM loan with AAG so that she could finally get the extra cash she needed to fix up her house.

“With the help of AAG, I have been able to repair my home’s foundation that I had been putting off for several years, refinish the hardwood floors, paint the interior and will have the exterior painted within a few days. My house is starting to look like my home again and it feels good, says Carter.

The cash from a HECM loan can be used for any worthwhile purpose. Many people use the money to save on interest charges by paying off credit

FACT: In 1988, President Reagan signed the FHA Reverse Mortgage bill into law. cards or other high-interest loans. Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills or helping other family members.

Some people need the extra cash for everyday expenses while others simply use it as a “safety net” for financial emergencies.

If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more so that you can make an informed decision. Homeowners who are interested in learning more can request a free 2016 HECM Reverse Mortgage Information Kit and free Educational DVD by calling American Advisors Group toll-free at 1-(855) 293-3061.

At no cost or obligation, the professionals at AAG can help you find out if you qualify and also answer common questions such as: 1. What is the government’s role?

2. How much money might I get?

3. Who owns the home after I take out a HECM loan?

You may be pleasantly surprised by what you discover when you call AAG for more information today.

The aggregate value of homes owned by seniors increased their share of home equity to $5.76 trillion according to the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association. Source: http://reversemortgagedaily. com/2015/12/27/u-s-seniors-home-equity-rockets-to-5-76-trillion/. 2If you qualify and your loan is approved, a HECM Reverse Mortgage must pay off your existing mortgage(s). With a HECM/Reverse Mortgage, no monthly mortgage payment is required. A reverse mortgage increases the principal mortgage loan amount and decreases home equity (it is a negative amortization loan). AAG works with other lenders and nancial institutions that offer reverse mortgages. To process your request for a reverse mortgage, AAG may forward your contact information to such lenders for your consideration of reverse mortgage programs that they offer.

Borrowers are responsible for paying property taxes and homeowner s insurance (which may be substantial). We do not establish an escrow account for disbursements of these payments. A set-aside account can be set up to pay taxes and insurance and may be required in some cases. Borrowers must occupy home as their primary residence and pay for ongoing maintenance; otherwise the loan becomes due and payable. The loan also becomes due and payable when the last borrower, or eligible non-borrowing surviving spouse, dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, defaults on taxes or insurance payments, or does not otherwise comply with the loan terms.

It’s a well-known fact that for many senior citizens in the U.S. their home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 50% of their total net worth.

Yet, according to new data from the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 5 trillion dollars of unused home equity.1 With people now living longer than ever before and home prices back up again, ignoring this “hidden wealth” may prove to be short sighted.

All things considered, it’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage or “HECM” (more commonly known today as a reverse mortgage loan) to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement.

However, today, there are still millions of eligible homeowners who could benefit from this FHA-insured loan but may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret.”

Some homeowners think HECM loans sound “too good to be true.” After all, you get the cash you need out of your home but you have no more monthly mortgage payments.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO – Rose Pak, a brash and lively community activist who helped transform San Francisco’s growing Asian-American population into a politically powerful constituency during an era when few women carried such clout, has died.

She was 68.

Pak died of natural causes in her home Sunday morning. Friends and

family said she seemed healthy after spending several months in China after a kidney transplant, The San Francisco Chronicle reported Monday.

Pak never held elective office, but as the longtime consultant to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, she helped raise money for preferred politicians and backed projects that benefited Chinatown’s residents.

She hated being called a power broker. “If I was white, they’d call me a

civic leader.”

In 2011, Pak started a campaign that led to Ed Lee becoming the city’s first Chinese-American mayor. She would later call him an enormous disappointment.

“She was strong and fearless,” Lee told The Chronicle. “Whether she was right or wrong, she grounded herself in representing the community. She really wanted to make sure Chinatown as a whole was respected.”

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Bruce Rauner pledged Monday to continue rooting out improper patronage hiring, at the same time his lawyers were trying to block a federal court monitor’s expanded review of all state administration jobs.

The Republican again trumpeted getting rid of the clout-packed “staff assistant” position at the Illinois Department of Transportation – the remaining 29 were fired last week – as a “small step in the right direction.”

Yet, Rauner said, a review of all state positions by a special master – appointed in 2014 to investigate the scandal, in which the staff assistant posts were improperly handed out as political favors – is premature, too costly and duplicative of the work his administration wants the Office of the Executive Inspector General to do.

“We want to expand the work of the executive inspector general, continuing to look in every department for positions that should not be in existence and for the existence of people who were hired ... for patronage or political reasons, not to provide high-quality government services,” he said.

In a motion filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago, Rauner’s adminis-

Lloyd Karmeier named chief justice of state Supreme Court

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Supreme Court Justice Lloyd Karmeier has been selected by his peers on the state’s highest court to be its next chief justice.

The state Supreme Court on Monday announced Karmeier’s unanimous selection to a three-year term beginning Oct. 26. He will be the chief administrative officer of the state’s judicial system and oversee more than 900 judges in Illinois.

Karmeier has served on the Supreme Court since 2004. He

Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner speaks to reporters Monday in Springfield. tration argues that the state already has paid $800,000 to the special master; expanding her workload would come at a much steeper cost.

Nonetheless, he told reporters Monday, he supports a $600,000 expansion of that office and its newly created Hiring and Employment Monitoring unit.

The unit has been established within the existing short-term budget, said David Morrison, spokesman for Inspector General Maggie Hickey, who was nom-

Plaintiffs’ attorneys wanted him recused from the case, saying he had received contributions from Philip Morris, which Karmeier denied.

Karmeier is replacing Justice Rita Garman, who is finishing a three-year term as chief justice.

Feds want 11-year term for reputed ‘El Chapo’ associate

CHICAGO – Prosecutors have asked a U.S. judge to sentence a reputed associate of Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman to about 11 years in prison for helping to launder more $1.5 million in drug money.

The venture capitalist took office in January 2015, just months after the executive inspector general concluded in a review that for more than a decade, Democratic governors Rod Blagojevich and Pat Quinn hired hundreds of people for ostensibly sensitive, policymaking IDOT positions that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled may be filled

Ortega is scheduled to be sentenced Friday in Chicago federal court. Ortega, whose nickname was “the Fox,” faces a maximum 20-year sentence.

The recommendation of 11 years is at the lower end of guideline calculations.

Prosecutors said in a sentencing memo last week that the 29-year-old Mexican citizen played an important role in the trafficking scheme but a lesser one than other traffickers.

Guzman is named as a defendant in the same case and is behind bars in Mexico.

Chicago is one of several U.S. cities where Guzman could go if Mexico extradites him.

Police: Pregnant woman killed in Chicago shooting

CHICAGO – Authorities in Chicago said a 19-year-old pregnant woman has been

based on political loyalty. Those people ended up answering phones and mowing grass, duties the high court ruled should be doled out strictly on merit.

It prompted Michael Shakman, a Chicago-based anti-patronage activist who won a 1972 federal court decree governing political hiring in Cook County, to persuade the judge in that case to appoint a special master to review IDOT. In August, Shakman asked for expanded power to develop a statewide, comprehensive list of jobs for which politics may be considered.

The Rauner administration countered Monday that a statewide special master expansion is premature, would unnecessarily complicate the government’s attempts to reform hiring, would cost the cash-strapped state too much and duplicate the Hiring and Employment Monitoring unit’s work.

If the court broadens special master Noelle Brennan’s purview beyond IDOT, her payment would “increase exponentially,” the court filing said, “from one agency and 5,000 employees to 51 agencies and 50,000 employees.”

Steve Brown, spokesman for Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan of Chicago, said House Democrats are willing to discuss a deeper review.

6-month-old among 3 kids, woman killed in Rockford fire

ROCKFORD – Officials in Rockford have identified three children and a woman who died in a northern Illinois house fire.

The Winnebago County

Coroner’s Office said 27-yearold Keandra Austin, 9-year-old V’Angelo Totty, 6-year-old Keeryn Austin and 6-month-old Aliya Beasley-Austin died in the Saturday morning blaze.

Autopsies were planned Monday to determine whether the fire or something else caused the deaths.

The Rockford Fire Department said it is investigating the cause of the fire. Rockford Public Schools officials said they would have a grief team available Monday for staff and students at the school where V’Angelo and Keeryn attended classes.

Firefighters responded to the blaze in a single-family home about 5 a.m. Saturday. Fire department officials said the house already was engulfed in flames by the time they arrived.

Suspect in N.Y.-area bombings captured The ASSOCIATED PRESS LINDEN, N.J. – A New Jersey police officer responding to a call about a hoodied vagrant curled up asleep in the doorway of a bar roused him and quickly recognized his bearded face as that of perhaps the most wanted man in America.

Ahmad Khan Rahami – identified in an FBI bulletin just hours earlier as a man wanted in the weekend bombings in New York City and New Jersey – pulled a gun, shot the officer and triggered a running gunbattle in the street that ended with Rahami wounded and in custody Monday, authorities said.

A bloodied Rahami was loaded into the back of an ambulance, just 50 hours after the first blast that started it all.

Rahami, 28, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Afghanistan who lived with his family in Elizabeth, New Jersey, underwent surgery for a gunshot wound to the leg as authorities began drawing up charges in a case that spread fear across the New York area and revived anxiety about homegrown terrorism.

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said officials have every reason to believe the series of bombings “was an act of terror,” although investigators said Rahami’s exact motive isn’t yet clear.

With Rahami’s arrest, officials said they have no indication there are more bombs or suspects to find, although they cautioned that they still are working to understand Rahami’s connections.

Still, after a whirlwind investigation that put Rahami in custody in just two days’ time, “I’m a lot happier today than I was yesterday,” New York Police Commissioner James O’Neill said.

The probe started when a pipe bomb blew up Saturday

This frame from surveillance video released by the New Jersey State Police shows Ahmad Khan Rahami, who was taken into custody Monday in connection with bombings that rocked the Chelsea neighborhood of New York and the New Jersey shore town of Seaside Park over the weekend. morning in Seaside Park, New Jersey, before a charity race to benefit Marines. No one was injured.

Then a shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker bomb – similar to those used in the Boston Marathon attack – exploded Saturday night in New York’s Chelsea section, wounding 29 people, none seriously. An unexploded pressure-cooker bomb was found blocks away.

Late Sunday, five explosive devices were discovered in a trash can at an Elizabeth train station. Investigators said they are still gathering evidence and have not publicly tied Rahami to those devices.

Late Monday, Rahami was charged in New Jersey with five counts of attempted murder of police officers in connection with the shootout.

Federal prosecutors said they were still weighing charges over the bombings.

Rahami lived with his family above their fried-chicken restaurant in Elizabeth, and his relatives have clashed with the city over closing times and noise complaints they said were tinged with anti-Muslim sentiment. A child-

hood friend, Flee Jones, said Rahami had become more religious after returning from a trip to Afghanistan several years ago.

But William Sweeney Jr., the FBI’s assistant director in New York, said there were no indications Rahami was on law enforcement’s radar at the time of the bombings.

Authorities zeroed in on him as the potential bomber after a fingerprint lifted from one of the Manhattan New York sites and “clear as day” surveillance video from the bombing scene helped identify him, according to three law enforcement officers who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case.

Five people were pulled over Sunday night in a vehicle associated with Rahami but were questioned and released, Sweeney said, declining to say whether they might later face charges. The law enforcement officials said at least one of Rahami’s relatives was in the car, which appeared headed toward Kennedy Airport in New York after coming from New Jersey.

President Barack Obama said the stabbings had no apparent connection to weekend bombings in New York and New Jersey.

“We cannot give ISIS and other terrorist organizations more air time and propaganda without real facts,” said

An off-duty police officer stopped the minutes-long attack Saturday night by shooting and killing Adan. Federal officials released no new information on the investigation Monday.

Minnesota has the nation’s largest

For apathetic Dems, Obama offers himself as motivation WASHINGTON – For Democrats lulled into apathy by the uninspiring presidential election, President Barack Obama is offering himself as motivation.

He’s not just validating Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton or holding up his record as a reason for voters to keep the White House in his party’s hands. Obama wants his supporters to see anything less than a vote for Clinton as a sign of disrespect to the nation’s first black president.

“I will consider it a personal insult, an insult to my legacy, if this community lets down its guard and fails to activate itself in this election,” Obama said Saturday during an impassioned address to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s annual dinner.

“You want to give me a good send-off?

Go vote.”

The president was speaking specifically to an audience of African-American leaders, but his broader message is aimed at all corners of the young,

diverse coalition that twice propelled him to the White House. While Clinton leads Republican Donald Trump by wide margins with young voters, blacks and Hispanics, party leaders are deeply concerned that turnout among those groups will fall short of what she needs to win.

“The president knows firsthand how important it is to not take a single vote for granted,” said Jennifer Psaki, Obama’s communications director.

She said Obama would spend the coming weeks taking his message to “African-Americans, young people, old people and anyone who needs an extra boost to remember what is at stake.”

Obama aides said the president has grown increasingly frustrated this year by the indifference to Clinton among some Democrats, especially given what he sees as an unacceptable alternative in Trump. That frustration has been particularly acute with black voters who tell Obama they’re saddened by the end of his presidency but aren’t enthusiastically rallying behind the candidate who would safeguard most of his work.

ST. CLOUD, Minn. – Leaders of Minnesota’s large Somali community acknowledged the prospect of a “long winter” for their people in the wake of the weekend’s mall stabbings by a young Somali man, but warned Monday not to quickly accept the terrorism connection.

Authorities are treating Saturday’s stabbings, which wounded nine people at Crossroads Center Mall, as a possible act of terrorism, in part because an Islamic State-run news agency claimed that the attacker was a “soldier of the Islamic State” who had heeded the group’s calls for attacks in countries that are part of a U.S.-led anti-IS coalition.

But it wasn’t immediately known whether the extremist group had planned the attack or knew about it beforehand. St. Cloud Police Chief Blair Anderson said the attack appeared to be the work of a single individual and there was no sign that the attacker, identified by his father as 20-year-old

Somali population, an estimated 57,000 people. Both Anderson and Gov. Mark Dayton warned against a possible backlash because of the stabbings, especially in St. Cloud, where Somalis in the 65,000-resident city about 65 miles northwest of Minneapolis have spoken about mistreatment in the past.

“I implore the citizens of St. Cloud and the citizens of Minnesota to rise above this incident and remember our common humanity,” Dayton said.

Somali leaders planned an evening news conference to urge unity.

“It’s going to be tough times. We know it’s going to be a long winter for this community,” said Haji Yusuf, who is part of UniteCloud, a local group founded to tackle racial and ethnic tension in the city.

Last year, St. Cloud school officials met with Somali parents, community elders and students after Somali-American students walked out to protest their treatment. One student had said Somali-Americans were called IS members and had their headscarves pulled off. And a photo posted on social media of a Somali-American student who was using a wheelchair after breaking her leg with a caption that said she was “disabled in ISIS.”

Clinton: Trump gives ‘aid, comfort’ to ISIS The ASSOCIATED PRESS ESTERO, Fla. – Hillary Clinton accused Donald Trump of giving “aid and comfort” to Islamic terrorists Monday, declaring his anti-Muslim rhetoric helps groups such as ISIS recruit new fighters. Trump showed no sign of changing and insisted the U.S. should “use whatever lawful methods are available” to get information from the Afghan immigrant arrested in the weekend’s bombings.

As Trump supporters at a packed rally in Florida shouted “Hang him!” the Republican presidential candidate mocked the fact that Ahmad Khan Rahami, a 28-year-old U.S. citizen originally from Afghanistan, would receive quality medical care and legal representation.

“We must deliver a just and very harsh punishment to these people,” he said. “These are enemies, these are combatants and we have to be tough, we have to be strong.”

Both candidates moved swiftly to capitalize on investigations into a weekend of violent attacks – bombings in New York and New Jersey and stabbings at a Minnesota mall – casting themselves as most qualified to combat terrorism at home and abroad.

Clinton touted her national security credentials at a hastily arranged news conference outside her campaign plane, accusing Republican Trump for using the incidents to make “some kind of demagogic point.”

“I’m the only candidate in this race who’s been part of the hard decisions to

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton walks to a podium to speak with members of the media Monday at Westchester County Airport in White Plains, N.Y. take terrorists off the battlefield,” Clinton, a former secretary of state, told reporters. “I know how to do this.”

The possibility of a home-grown terrorist plot cast a new shadow over the presidential race, diverting both candidates’ attention from the daily controversies of the campaign and giving them a high-profile opportunity to make their case to undecided voters.

Clinton and her team see her experience and what they say is her steady judgment as key selling points for her candidacy. On the campaign trail, she frequently invokes her role in the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden, describing to voters the tense atmosphere

in the White House alongside President Barack Obama.

But while much of the foreign policy establishment has rallied around Clinton, Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric, promises to close U.S. borders and vows to aggressively profile potential terrorists have fueled his presidential bid.

On Monday, he called for tougher policing, including profiling foreigners who look like they could have connections to terrorism or certain Mideastern nations.

“This isn’t just a matter of terrorism, this is also really a question of quality of life,” he said. “We want to

make sure we’re only admitting people into our country who love our country.”

Pointing to her “aid and comfort” remark and others, Trump’s campaign said Clinton was accusing him of treason, going beyond the bounds of acceptable campaigning and trying to change the subject from her own failures.

She insinuated that Islamic militants, particularly those affiliated with ISIS, are rooting for Trump to win the White House. She said, “We’re going after the bad guys and we’re going to get them, but we’re not going to go after an entire religion.”

Trump agreed terrorists have a preference: They “want her so badly to be our president.”

Clinton briefly turned her focus from national security on Monday, wooing younger voters at a midday rally in Philadelphia.

At Temple University, she acknowledged that she needs to do more to get millennials on board.

“Even if you are totally opposed to Donald Trump, you may still have some questions about me. I get that.

And I want to do my best to answer those questions,” she told several hundred students gathered in an ornate, wood-paneled lecture hall.

This election marks the first presidential campaign where millennials make up the single largest generation among U.S. adults, having surpassed baby boomers during the past four years. The group helped anchor Obama’s support, but Clinton has failed to attract them in the same numbers.

World leaders at U.N. approve plan for refugee crisis

By MICHAEL ASTOR The Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS – World leaders on Monday approved a declaration aimed at providing a more coordinated and humane response to the refugee crisis that has strained resources and sparked divisions from Africa to Europe.

The issue of what to do about the world’s 65.3 million displaced people took center stage at the U.N. General Assembly with leaders from the 193 member states taking part in the first-ever summit on Addressing Large Movements of Refugees and Migrants.

Advocacy groups worried that the New York Declaration on Migrants and Refugees – an outcome document that contains no concrete commitments and is not legally binding falls

short of what is needed, while U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, himself a refugee during the Korean War, hailed it as historic.

“Today’s summit represents a breakthrough in our collective efforts to address the challenges of human mobility,” Ban said.

Around the world, there are currently about 21.3 million refugees, 3.2 million asylum seekers, and 40.8 million migrants, according to the U.N. Refugee Agency. The agency defines refugees as people forced to flee due to armed conflict or persecution, while migrants choose to move in search of a better life.

Philippe Bolopion, deputy director of global advocacy for Human Rights Watch, said the international community still had a long way to go in dealing with the crisis.

“I would say if you measure this document by what is at stake here, it certainly falls short of the mark.

We’re facing an historic crisis and the response is not historic,” Bolopion said on the sidelines of the meeting.

He added that in many areas refugee protections were backsliding with a growing number of countries trying to turn back refugees in violation of international law.

“Is the outcome document up to the challenge? No, unquestionably it’s not. Does that mean the summit is pointless? No, because it’s precisely at moments like this that you need to regroup,” Bolopion added.

The declaration seeks to standardize responses to refugee situations and provide better education prospects for the children who make up over half of the world’s refugees.

It also looks to improve working opportunities for refugees who are now spending nearly 20 years in exile on average.

There are also plans for a campaign to combat xenophobia.

All of this may prove an uphill struggle at a time when refugees and migrants have become a divisive issue in Europe and the United States.

Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein, the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, said xenophobia has been a major factor contributing to the failure of the international response thus far.

“Defenders of what is right and good are being outflanked in too many countries by race-baiting bigots, who seek to gain, or retain, power by wielding prejudice and deceit, at the expense of those most vulnerable,” Zeid told the meeting.

Reasons to be optimistic America has a reputation for its optimism, its can-do spirit, its willingness to explore and innovate.

And yet an atmosphere of pessimism has spread across the landscape, a dark vision telling us we are besieged and in decline. What shall it be – optimism or pessimism? How should we think about ourselves?

The case for pessimism is strong, bolstered every day. Pessimism took root during the Great Recession, when millions of people lost their jobs and homes and millions more saw their income and standard of living imperiled. The fact the swindlers on Wall Street who engineered the disaster escaped with their millions, unindicted and unpunished, was a twist of the knife. A variation on this theme made the news this week when it was revealed 5,300 employees of one of the nation’s largest banks, Wells Fargo, had been fired for the practice of setting up phony accounts for unaware customers who were billed for phony fees.

Wells Fargo had to pay a fine of $185 million, but the executive who engineered the scam was rewarded with money and stock benefits of $124.6 million.

If that’s the way the world works, why shouldn’t we be pessimistic?

Another recent news story showed the sugar industry had distorted the scientific research into the health effects of sugar by paying off scientists.

The harm to the health of Americans because of the pervasive ingestion of sugar-sweetened drinks and other forms of sugar has been catastrophic, and the way was paved by corruption.

The paralysis of Congress is a solid reason for pessimism. Because the refusal to spend money is the be-all and end-all of the GOP majority, Congress refuses to address the pressing needs of the nation in all areas.

So where is the cause for optimism? In fact, recovery from the Great Recession is picking up steam.

The median income was up 5.2 percent last year, the largest increase since record-keeping began in 1967.

The fact that Wells Fargo was called to account for its scam and faced a sizable fine is owing to the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

If optimism is to have a chance, we have to believe it is possible to act in our own interests. In policing the banks, we are doing so. How are we to protect ourselves from the corruption of the sugar (or tobacco) industry, or from pollution by chemicals in our water, or from the insistence of the fossil fuel industry we fill the atmosphere with carbon, if we are not willing to get tough with those industries?

We also need to protect ourselves from corruption, which is why vigilance, oversight, a vigorous press and the regulation of money in politics are necessary for the public good.

Finally, good news for Obamacare It has been a summer of bad news for the Affordable Care Act, but last week brought some numbers that should put worries about the law into perspective.

The Census Bureau announced Tuesday the proportion of people in the United States who lack health-care coverage continued to plunge last year – to only 9.1 percent. This figure is even better than it looks for Obamacare, because it factors in uninsured undocumented immigrants, of which there are perhaps several million, who are not eligible for the law’s programs.

But the overall number could be cut much lower, and quickly, if Obamacare were working as it was meant to. We are not referring to the recent, much-discussed exit of some major health insurers from the marketplaces the law created. We are talking about Obamacare’s expansion of Medicaid, the state-federal health plan for the poor and near-poor.

The Supreme Court in 2012 made

the expansion optional for states, and a large chunk have refused.

The Census Bureau found the uninsured rate was 7.2 percent in expansion states last year and 12.3 percent in non-expansion states.

Five states have expanded since, but that still leaves 19, representing 4 million to 5 million people who otherwise would get coverage, irrationally holding out.

Why irrationally? In their effort to hobble Obamacare, state Republican leaders have left huge amounts of federal money on the table. The federal government has offered to pay nearly the whole cost of the expansion, forever. Although states must pitch in a bit, they get a much lower uninsured rate, lower uncompensated care costs and other savings in return. The Urban Institute found last month the 19 holdout states would get an average of $7.48 from the federal government for every dollar they spent on Medicaid expansion.

Even those costs, meanwhile,

likely would be further offset by savings elsewhere. States that already have expanded, in fact, have generally seen net revenue gains.

Other expansion critics argue Medicaid does not help its beneficiaries enough to be worth the costs. But a recent National Bureau of Economic Research working paper found Medicaid expansion significantly has reduced medical debt. People who got Medicaid coverage under Obamacare saw reduced medical collection balances of $600 to $1,000. Those who required a hospital stay or an emergency room visit saw a medical collection balance cut of $1,400 to $2,300.

The Affordable Care Act still has a long way to go. Its marketplaces need to stabilize further and enrollments must rise. But it is also long past time for state GOP leaders to stop hurting their constituents in an effort to sabotage the law.

Thanks to committee for successful Harvard Balloonfest

To the Editor: As president of the Harvard Lions Club, I would like to extend my personal gratitude to the Harvard Balloonfest Committee. The efforts completed a weekend of wonderful family festivities.

Even as the weather did not always comply for the balloons to take off, there was a great mix of things for people to enjoy. The lighting of the balloons at night was as exciting as fireworks.

I have a special thanks to Lions Tony and Mark Stricker and the rest of the Stricker (Paul) family for helping us to participate in this event. Without their help in our short preparation time to help celebrate Harvard in this inaugural event, we would have missed such an incredible time with community patrons and people from everywhere.

The Harvard Lions Club came out and worked hard, and with the help of

VIEWS Rich Miller contested “swing” districts, Cullerton claimed the governor’s poll numbers are “underwater everywhere.”

And while Rauner “picked up a few points” after the governor and the General Assembly agreed to a stopgap budget in June, Rauner’s “job performance is still way underwater.”

Cullerton did not share any specific numbers, but what he said matches with what I’ve been hearing from others, including a few Republicans.

And that also may be part of the reason why Rauner continues to tell reporters he isn’t much involved in legislative campaigns, even though GOP sources say he is involved. Personally interviewing candidates to replace retired state Sen. Matt Murphy (R-Palatine) along with his former chief of staff as well as what appears to be his favorite adviser, John Tillman of the Illinois Policy Institute, was more than just a clue that his interest approaches granularity levels.

Admitting to actually being heavily involved would result in news stories about how he’s strongly influencing specific local races, however.

The Republicans have been tying House Speaker Michael Madigan to

Capron Lions and Wisconsin’s Big Foot Lions. Community members also helped us, which made our pulled pork and Italian beef sandwich sales successful.

They were delicious and well received.

The best part was the fun and camaraderie we had while working.

As I went about the community during and after the event, everyone was talking about how much business did well this Labor Day weekend. We also appreciated the visibility it gave our city and our Lions Club.

Experience matters

To the Editor: Hillary Clinton is not perfect; nevertheless, she possesses the one thing that is lacking in the other three candidates for president: experience.

The president of the United States is

Democrats in both chambers in their mail and in their TV ads, but the Senate president claimed, “The Madigan stuff doesn’t rub off on Democratic candidates,” then backed up a bit to say he was only familiar with polling for senators and Senate candidates.

“It doesn’t work on the senators,” he said.

But, what if he’s wrong? What if Rauner’s vast wealth and his field operation manage to break through the extreme white noise of a presidential election and the Republicans do actually pick off several Democratic seats?

Well, a million dollars spent on Chicago broadcast TV ads hasn’t managed to propel Rep. Michael McAuliffe (R-Chicago) over 50 percent, according to the Republicans’ own polling, and his margin has actually shrunk since July. President Obama won McAuliffe’s district in 2012 by eight points, 53-45, according to data compiled by pollster We Ask America. Structural presidential year turnout like that is very difficult to overcome, and that includes those Senate races.

Still, I’ve been asking Democratic operatives lately what is keeping them awake at night, and they’ve all had about the same basic answer.

Targeted legislative races often can be decided by just a handful of votes. Rep. Kate Cloonen (D-Kanka-

kee) is the most extreme example of this, winning by an average of about 100 votes the last two cycles. Rep. Mike Smiddy (D-Hillsdale) won his 2014 race by 314 votes. Former Democratic Rep. Frank Mautino won his last race two years ago by 337 votes.

The biggest potential problem is the unpredictability of Donald Trump’s supporters. Some Dems believe his support is actually higher than the polls are showing.

And in any given district, 500 (or even fewer) Trump backers who rarely vote and therefore haven’t been personally contacted much, if at all, by either side could decide to head to the polls on election day and then continue supporting Republican candidates straight down the ticket and create some upsets.

Rauner’s unprecedented campaign spending and his emphasis on a ground game along with Trump’s huge popularity with white working class voters (who dominate all of the Democrats’ contested downstate districts) are making this presidential cycle extremely unusual and, to an extent, unpredictable. So, no matter what Cullerton says, the Democrats are worried they actually may lose some seats.

The Republicans have been saying behind the scenes they have put four Democratic state senators “on the bubble” – Tom Cullerton in DuPage County, Melinda Bush in Lake County, Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant in Will County and Gary Forby in deep southern Illinois.

Understandably, Senate President John Cullerton does not agree.

“If it wasn’t for Donald Trump, maybe four would be on the bubble,” Cullerton told me the other day.

Cullerton claimed the one-two punch of Trump and Gov. Bruce Rauner was hurting Republicans in contested districts everywhere.

“Downstate, Trump’s popular,” he admitted, “But Rauner’s not.” In Sen. Forby’s heavily targeted district, Cullerton said, “Rauner’s hated down there.”

People in Forby’s district may have voted for Rauner two years ago, but, in reality, Cullerton claimed, “They were voting against Pat Quinn.” And the same goes, he said, for the contested neighboring open seat held by retiring Sen. Dave Luechtefeld (R-Okawville).

In the suburbs, Cullerton said, Rauner and Trump both are very unpopular, “Maybe Trump is a bit more unpopular,” he averred. But that still works to the Democrats’ advantage, Cullerton said.

Samsung says it has found no battery problem in China

By YOUKYUNG LEE and JOE McDONALD The Associated Press

SEOUL, South Korea – Samsung Electronics said Monday that its investigation into the first report of a Galaxy Note 7 fire in China found no battery problem, reducing concerns that its smartphone crisis had expanded to the world’s largest mobile phone market.

The South Korean tech giant said it was not able to investigate a second reported fire because it could not obtain that phone.

The two accounts of Galaxy Note 7 fires appeared on Chinese social media and were widely reported by Chinese and South Korean media, raising alarms because the South Korean tech giant earlier said no Note 7 recall was necessary in China because the phones sold there did not have the battery manufacturing error that caused fires in dozens of phones sold in other countries.

Samsung announced the global recall of 2.5 million of its flagship smartphones just two weeks after they were launched.

It is struggling to restore consumer trust after 92 reports of Note 7 batteries that overheated or caught fire in the United States, which prompted an official government recall there last week.

The company began shipping new Note 7 phones to replace the defective ones this week in South Korea.

The Chinese battery supplier for Note 7 phones sold in China said Monday the fires there appeared to be different from those in other countries.

“We believe the heat problem comes

from outside the battery. A very large likelihood exists that other factors gave rise to the heat problem,” Amperex Technology Ltd. said. It gave no indication of what may have caused the problems.

Samsung said its investigation suggested external heat had damaged the phone. South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency and other South Korean media said it may have been an effort by consumers to tarnish Samsung.

Samsung said it tried to obtain the phone involved in the second reported fire, but was not able to, correcting its earlier statement that it was investigating both cases.

The Galaxy Note 7 recall has been Samsung Electronics’ biggest crisis in recent years. Samsung has faced criticism that it failed to coordinate with government safety regulators and did not give clear information to consumers. Many airlines have banned use of the Note 7, saying it is a flight hazard.

In its initial announcement Sept. 2, Samsung did not say whether consumers could continue to use the phones without danger. A few days later, it urged them to immediately turn off the phones. And last week, Samsung said it is rolling out a software update to the Note 7 phones that will limit the battery charge to 60 percent but didn’t say whether all phones would automatically receive it.

In South Korea, mobile carriers said Note 7 owners could begin exchanging their phones Monday, but there were few people doing so at a Samsung service center.

South Korea’s government has not

“We believe the heat problem comes from outside the battery.

A very large likelihood exists that other factors gave rise to the heat problem.”

Amperex Technology Ltd. Chinese battery supplier for Samsung Galaxy Note 7

issued an official recall like its counterparts in the U.S. and Canada. Monday was the deadline for consumers in South Korea to get a full refund.

The Note 7 debuted to rave reviews in August thanks to its speed, new software features and longer time between charges, which requires a more powerful battery. But shortly after the launch, users began to report fires or explosions, in one case causing a blaze that destroyed an SUV. In the first incident reported in China, a social media user posted messages Sunday saying a friend’s Galaxy Note 7 caught fire over the weekend. It included photos of the damaged phone.

The user, contacted by phone, told The Associated Press the Note 7 was bought Sept. 1 through the JD.com e-commerce site. The man, who asked not to be identified by name, said the phone started to heat up and vibrate late Saturday night, then exploded and emitted black smoke.

A second report on a separate social media account said an owner’s phone exploded Sunday while the person was

playing a game on it. That account gave no contact information for the user or details of where the person lives but showed photos of the damaged phone and its serial number.

The incidents could set back Samsung’s effort to stage a comeback in China, where it has slipped to No. 6 in a crowded market behind ambitious local brands, said Nicole Peng of research firm Canalys.

Samsung accounted for 8 percent of smartphone sales in China in the three months ending June 30, down slightly from the previous quarter’s 9 percent, according to Canalys. Huawei was in first place in both quarters with 16 percent, followed by Vivo and Xiaomi at 13 percent.

“This will make it difficult to make it back to the top,” Peng said.

Samsung Electronics launched the Note 7 phone in China on Sept. 1, after reports began spreading of the phones catching fire in other nations.

Samsung’s mobile president, Koh Dong-jin, said at the time that sales in China would continue because Note 7 phones sold there use different batteries.

Analysts believe Samsung SDI supplied most of the faulty batteries while Note 7 phones in China use batteries made by Amperex, which reportedly also is a main supplier of batteries for Apple’s iPhone.

Last week, Samsung recalled 1,858 Note 7 phones in China from a different batch that had been distributed before general sales began. The company said the two units involved in the reported fires were not from that batch.

Unleash Your Potential SPONSORED BY

By Diane Krieger Spivak If you’re an athlete looking to increase your athletic potential or an individual seeking to increase your general fitness, Parabolic Sports Performance Lab at Centegra could be the answer.

“To be a sports performance coach you have to be CSCS certified, which is a certified strength conditioning specialist,” said Matt Mariani, MS, CSCS, general manager, Parabolic Sports Performance Lab at Centegra Health System. “These individuals have a four-year degree specializing in kinesiology and an advanced background in sports performance. Many of them were all-americans or all-state in their previous sports and have many years of coaching at the collegiate level.”

The Parabolic model differs from other facilities based on individual assessment.

“We’re looking at their mobility, stability and any injury-prone activity that they do, and we work that into their program,”

Mariani said. “No two programs are exactly alike, so you have one-on-one attention.

Whether it’s a group setting or an individual setting, you’re always going to know that the program is tailored just for you.”

Applicants fill out an intake form and indicate how long a person wants to train and his or her goals. After completing an initial functional movement screening, an assessment is figured into the person’s overall goal.

“We make sure at the end of the 12 weeks they’re with us, that we can target all those weaknesses and they have reached their goals,” Mariani said.

Two packages are available: The off-season is an unlimited package that allows participants to come in whenever they want without committing to a specific time. “They can use an app or an online website to select their time,” Mariani said.

“Then we have the in-season package which is one day a week. We coordinate with their school schedule or their youth sporting schedule so there’s no overlap.”

The Emmy Awards had its share of surprises, sure things and Donald Trump jokes. One consistent theme was the continued creative erosion at the top broadcast networks, now merely an afterthought on television’s biggest night.

“Game of Thrones” won best drama for the second year in a row on Sunday, and became prime-time television’s most-honored show ever. Fellow HBO series “Veep” was named top comedy for the second straight year and that show’s star, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, won best comedy actress for the fifth straight time and a record-setting sixth time in her career.

Other big winners included actors Jeffrey Tambor, Rami Malek and Tatiana Maslany, along with most everyone associated with the FX miniseries, “The People vs. O.J. Simpson.”

Of the 27 awards handed out in prime time, six apiece went to HBO and FX. Streaming services Netflix had three and Amazon two.

“Master of None.” “What’s been really great about Netflix is they give us a lot of freedom and they trust us to pursue what our personal stories are. I think they’ve been rewarded with stuff that feels a little fresh.”

“Games of Thrones,” the fantasy saga based on George R.R. Martin’s novels, received 12 awards Sunday and at last weekend’s technical arts ceremony. That makes 38 total in the series’ history, passing “Frasier” as the most-honored prime-time series ever.

Yet the series’ top actors went home empty-handed. Malek, of USA’s thriller “Mr. Robot,” and Maslany of “Orphan Black” won the top acting trophies for drama series.

“Oh, my God. Please tell me you’re seeing this too,” said a stunned Malek, who participates in a hacking conspiracy in a series where it’s never quite sure what’s real and what’s imagined.

The top comedy acting awards were more predictable. Host Jimmy Kimmel even jokingly handed an Emmy to “Transparent” star Tambor at the outset of the show; he later got one for real. Tambor, who plays a man who has transitioned to a woman, urged Hollywood creators to find roles for real-life transgender actors.

TECHNOLOGY

Tech on the field

Improved medical technology at Paralympics sparks advances, controversy

By GARRETT ROSS

The Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO – Here’s how good technology for prosthetic running blades has become.

Greek runner Michail Seitis set a world record for his division with a time of 49.66 seconds in the men’s 400-meter final Thursday. He came in sixth place out of eight runners. The five who finished ahead of him were double amputees.

“Oh, to be bilateral,” said U.S. sprinter David Prince, a friend and training partner of Seitis’, as he watched the race unfold.

Technology for prosthetics has improved so much it is actually better to be a double amputee in track and field than a single amputee, said Prince, who lost his right leg in a motorcycle accident.

That pace of development has accented a trend within Paralympic sports. Sometimes better technology has created a gap between athletes within the same division – or classification, as it’s known at the Paralympics – who have distinctly different levels of disability.

“Last year and this year were really hard for me to stay motivated to actually continue training, because I go into the race knowing that they [double amputees] run faster times and I know I’ll get beat,” Prince said.

Technology plays a prominent role at the Paralympics, with athletes across a variety of events utilizing different equipment to perform at the top of their discipline.

Tatyana McFadden, the top wheelchair racer at this year’s games, is sponsored by BMW Racing and uses a specially designed chair to perform at her peak.

“The technology is amazing,” McFadden said after one of her races on Thursday. She added: “It’s important in this sport to have that little extra edge.”

And more gear always is coming down the pipeline, such as a swim cap that alerts a swimmer when a wall is approaching, which is being developed for athletes with visual impairments.

Such swimmers currently are tapped on the head by a guide with a long pole.

The athlete-technology partnership was acknowledged in the opening ceremony for the Rio Paralympics when a dancer performed a routine with a

The developments are both exciting, and – to Prince – somewhat concerning. He worries some athletes, such as single amputees like himself, will be left behind.

At the same time, he does not begrudge double amputees for availing themselves of whatever is within the rules.

“I support them going tall,” said Prince, referring to the fact that newer blades are longer and can increase the height of runners. “Because if they go tall and start running these ridiculous times, guess what, the IPC has pressure now to address it.”

Craig Spence, spokesman for the International Paralympic Committee, said the Rio Games have shown him an increased level of athletic performance.

However, he was hesitant to attribute all of it to advances in technology.

Training for disabled athletes also is improving.

“I’ve noticed that our athletes are getting faster, stronger and more agile in every single sport,” Spence said.

“Whether I put that down to technology, well you’ve got to look at the facts that our visually impaired athletes are getting faster as well. As are athletes with coordination impairments and they don’t use any piece of technology.”

Spence said the only stipulation in terms of access to blades or any other piece of technology is that it must be available on the public market.

Prices for running blades vary, but the top-of-the-line options can reach tens of thousands of dollars.

Prince, who won a bronze medal in the 400 in London and finished sixth in the 200 meters in Rio, said the biggest

difference he has seen between the 2012 Paralympics and this year has not been a new piece of technology, but rather the number of competitors who are using the best equipment available.

He also has had conversations with members of the IPC about figuring out competition between single amputees and double amputees. The main question Prince is concerned with is whether double amputees and single amputees should compete against each other at all.

With the number of competitors using the top blades on the market larger than ever, and many of those being under the age 25, what could happen over the next four years is a sharp dropoff in the number of single amputees competing in events against bilaterals, the 33-year-old Prince said. That would be a shame, he feels, and would go against the spirit of the Paralympics.

while because individual phone makers and wireless carriers have to tweak and test the new software first.

Many of the Android improvements in Nougat are “under the hood” and thus largely invisible, such as tweaks to reduce battery consumption and cellular data use.

The most obvious changes include the ability to run two apps side by side, something Samsung and LG have offered on their phones on a limited basis. Nougat also will let people reply to messages within notifications, something Apple already offers on iPhones.

Meanwhile, the V20 promises higher-quality audio playback and recording, with reduced background noise, according to LG. The company also says it also improved image stabilization when recording video. LG spokesman Frank Lee described the V20’s target audience as “storytellers.”

Like LG’s G5 phone, which it released in April, the V20 will have two lenses on the main camera – one for regular pictures and one with a wide angle to capture more of the scene. Unlike many other top-line phones, the V20 features a replaceable battery.

Home State Bank facilitates I-Refi program to help “under water” homeowners SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese Although the economy has recovered substantially since the 2008 recession, the effect on home values has been mixed. Some have appreciated in value so that homeowners are no longer under water on their mortgages, but that’s not true for everyone. For those whose homes haven’t recovered from the real estate crash, and are a minimum of 110% under water, there’s a federal assistance program available if certain criteria are met.

The new I-Refi program offers up to $50,000 in federal assistance through the Hardest Hit Fund (HHF), which helps pay down a mortgage balance, and refinances it into an affordable loan. To qualify, homeowners must be current on their mortgage payments for the past 12 months, and must meet IHDA’s income and credit requirements.

Home State Bank is helping homeowners find out if they qualify; the first step involves a

professional home appraisal. “If homeowners meet income, credit score criteria, and home price limits, they can receive, up to $50,000, what’s needed to bring their mortgage balance to between 90% - 97% of the property’s current value,” said David Thomsen, Sales Manager of Home State Bank’s Mortgage Division.

If qualifications are met, it proceeds like a regular refinance process. “The new loan pays off the old mortgage, and includes a 3-year forgivable grant in the amount necessary to get the mortgage down to 90% - 97% of the property’s value,” said Thomsen. “If the homeowner has to sell within three years, the amount due back is prorated based on the amount of time passed.”

The program is first come, first served. “There’s no time limit on the program,” said Thomsen, adding, “But once the funds are used up, they’re gone. If a homeowner previously received HHF assistance, they’re still eligible to apply for the I-Refi program and could receive an additional $35,000 for a total of $85,000 to eligible borrowers.”

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff • Seek professional help. Don’t ignore stress, anxiety, depression, excessive worry or bouts of anger that overwhelm your life. Anger is particularly dangerous for the heart. Treatment can help reduce symptoms. This will help protect your brain and your heart.

• Pursue treatments in cardiac psychology.

This employs psycho-educational programs, educational training, stress management, biofeedback, counseling sessions and relaxation techniques before or after a heart-related event. These programs are done in addition to, not instead of, traditional psychiatric treatment and exercise.

• Exercise. Physical exercise can help you have a healthier heart and brain. Various types of aerobic exercise have proven to reduce anxiety and depression and to improve self-esteem. Jogging, swimming, cycling, walking, gardening and dancing are good options.

If you struggle with stress, anger, anxiety, worry, depression or problems with self-esteem, talk to your primary care physician. If your stress is severe, and your risk of heart trouble is high, you might need a consultation with a cardiologist, a psychiatrist or a stress reduction program. Together, you can explore which therapies might best protect your psychological state, your brain and your heart.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

Dear Dr. K: I’m under a lot of stress in my life. Of course, I don’t like that, but what really worries me is it will affect my heart.

Heart disease runs in my family. If stress can lead to heart disease, does reducing stress reduce heart disease risk?

Dear Reader: We often think of the heart and brain as separate from each other, yet these organs are intimately connected. And when your emotions adversely affect your brain, your heart is affected as well.

There are two kinds of stress that affect your brain. Helpful stress can assist you with getting things done by helping you focus your attention. Unhelpful stress (distress), on the other hand, can be so severe it can lead to fatigue and heart disease.

Coronary artery disease restricts the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your heart.

Emotional stress can worsen oxygen deprivation. In fact, if you have heart disease, any strong emotion, such as anger or grief, may cause severe and fatal irregular heart rhythms.

How do strong emotions affect heart disease? In two ways. First, they cause the heart to beat faster and more forcefully – to work harder. Second, they increase the tendency of the heart arteries to narrow, reducing the blood supply to the heart. So the heart is working harder, but without the blood supply it needs. That can cause dangerous heart rhythms.

Depression also increases the risk of heart problems, including heart attacks and dangerous heart rhythms. If chronic stress has made you depressed, then the stress is threatening your heart in a third way.

The good news is the opposite also is true: Reducing your level of stress lessens the risk to your heart. Here are some ways to start reducing your stress:

Reducing stress helps heart and brain

| FUN & GAMES Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com • Tuesday, September 20, 2016

While our 6-yearold enjoys the positive attention he receives from his often unusual and imaginative clothing choices, his grandparents feel we are being “disrespectful to others” by allowing him and our other children to wear these outfits in public.

Neither my husband nor I was permitted freedom of expression as children, and we agreed with the exception of health, profanity, lewdness, immodesty and adherence to organizational dress codes, we would not restrict our children’s freedom of expression. While we often don’t agree with our children’s choice of attire, it seems prudent to choose the battles we fight.

Is anyone other than our parents actually offended by a pirate (sans weapon) in the dentist office or a backward shirt at the grocery store? And if they are offended, does their desire not to see a costumed child trump my children’s need for a healthy outlet for their individuality during this phase of their life over which they have so little control? – Clark

Kent’s Mom Dear Clark Kent’s Mom: I seriously doubt any-

one other than your parents and in-laws cares at all if your children visit the dentist looking like Clark Kent, a cowboy or his horse. As far as I’m concerned, your children should be allowed to exercise their sartorial creativity.

It’s harmless. A few years from now they’ll be getting pressure from peers about fitting in, so let them enjoy themselves while they can.

Dear Abby: I have been through quite a bit of turmoil in the past two years. My boyfriend died last year. We had been together for 13 years. He was only 32 and his death was unexpected.

I am realizing now I didn’t handle my grief very well. I had no real support system at the time and soon after he passed away, I reconnected with an old flame I had been in contact with on and off through the years. We have become somewhat serious, but I realize before I can go further with this relationship, I must deal with the feelings of grief I have for the loss of my boyfriend.

Any advice you could provide would be greatly appreciated. I am at a loss on how to move forward in a healthy way. – Lost In San

Francisco Dear Lost: I’m sorry for the loss of your

longtime boyfriend, but I’m glad you wrote.

That you recognize you need help to process his loss before you can move forward takes an admirable sense of self-awareness. If you have a doctor or a health insurer, ask for a referral to a licensed mental health professional (a psychologist, social worker, etc.). That person can help you to work through your unresolved emotions by seeing you privately, or by referring you to a grief support group.

Bears quarterbacks coach Dave Ragone talks with Jay Cutler after Cutler threw an interception Monday night against the Eagles at Soldier Field. The Bears lost, 29-14.

Fans, teammate McPhee let QB have it Birthday cake for the birthday girl @ gabbydepersio19 thanks to @LykinsEmma – @McHenryVB Follow our writers on Twitter: Joe Stevenson – @NWH_JoePrepZone Sean Hammond – @sean_hammond Jon Styf – @jonstyf

What to watch Hockey: Canada vs. United States, 7 p.m., ESPN Patrick Kane of Team USA faces his Blackhawks teammates Jonathan Toews and Corey Crawford of Team Canada in a World Cup of Hockey group stage game in Toronto.

The boos came from all over Soldier Field, and if boos can be tired, these were absolutely exhausted. They came from people who had seen this act from Jay Cutler too many times before.

It was late in the third quarter Monday night, and the Bears’ quarterback had just thrown a pass that landed in the hands of Eagles linebacker Nigel Bradham. You would have had a hard time convincing the faithful that Bradham wasn’t the intended receiver on the play.

It was classic Cutler, and anyone who has followed this team during his time here knows what that means. Classic like Classic Coke, among other bad ideas.

So here came the boos from the fans, from the wounded and the bone weary, and it was impossible to blame them. But that turned out to be the easy part. Those boos were nothing compared with the verbal abuse injured teammate Pernell McPhee sent Cutler’s way as the quarterback walked off the field.

VIEWS Rick Morrissey It was the first time a Bears player seemed to agree so enthusiastically with public sentiment about Cutler.

But, this being Jay, there were aggravating circumstances. He said he had injured the thumb on his throwing hand earlier in the game, and that the inability to get a grip on the ball led to the interception. He finally told the coaches to take him out of the game, leading to Brian Hoyer’s appearance.

“I knew I was putting the team in jeopardy,” Cutler said.

Why didn’t he take himself out earlier? I’d rather have a healthy Hoyer than a Cutler with one thumb behind his back.

See MORRISSEY, page 5

More coverage BEARS 3 AND OUT: A quick take on Monday’s game. Page 3 BEARS NOTES: Jay Cutler suffered an injured right hand, and several of his teammates fared much worse in Monday night’s loss. Page 4 NOT MUCH OF A PLAN: Throwing the ball up high and letting Alshon Jeffery jump for it works sometimes, but that doesn’t make it a game plan, writes the Sun-Times’ David L. Jahns. Page 5

Alshon Jeffery, Bears, WR: Taking advantage of undersized (and not-that-talented) Eagles cornerbacks, Jeffery had another big first half and finished with five catches for 96 yards.

Willie Young, Bears, LB: A week after not making the stat sheet in Houston, Young was a force off the edge with seven tackles, two for a loss and one sack.

3 The Bears’ Eddie Goldman leaves the field after being injured against the Eagles on Monday night at Soldier Field.

Carson Wentz, Eagles, QB: The Eagles’ rookie quarterback was not intimidated by Vic Fangio’s defense, making big plays on third down en route to his second NFL victory.

3 things that worked

Third-down defense: Despite the struggles in the second half, the Bears held the Eagles to converting only 3 of 15 third-down opportunities, although Philadelphia was a perfect 3 for 3 on fourth down.

Throwing to Jeffery and Royal: Similar to last week, when the Bears did move the ball, it was thanks to their two veteran receivers. Jeffery and Royal combined for nine catches for 148 yards.

3 that didn’t

1 2 3

The entire second half: Five injuries (Jay Cutler, Eddie Goldman, Bryce Callahan, Adrian Amos and Lamarr Houston) and three turnovers led to the game spiraling out of control after halftime.

Third-down offense: The Bears had a few big passing plays in the first half but only seven points to show for it because of poor execution on third down. They were only 1 for 5 on the crucial down before halftime and 4 of 10 in the game.

Run game: Jeremy Langford had 11 carries for 28 yards, a paltry 2.5-yard average. Rookie Jordan Howard brought a spark to the offense, but the Bears finished with only 64 yards rushing.

3 moments that mattered

1

Trailing 9-7 with the ball at midfield and having gotten the run game going, the Bears brought on a personnel unit that was destined for a running play on second-and-2. The Eagles were ready, bringing Jeremy Langford down for a 4-yard loss. An injured Cutler bounced a pass on third down, and the Eagles extended their lead to 16-7 on the ensuing drive.

2

Cutler’s interception is when the game truly spiraled out of control, but we’re going to highlight Goldman’s ankle injury, which came in the fourth quarter. Goldman has been off to a great start and is a bright spot for the future of this team, which may be all fans have to root for in 2016.

3

The fans were restless about a Bears offense that hadn’t scored since the first half in Houston after Connor Barth’s missed field goal, but on the next drive, Cutler launched a ball down field to an open Jeffery. Jeffery had to adjust, but won the jump ball, which led to the Bears’ first touchdown. That was back when the Bears had hope.

What now?

Record: 0-2 What it means: It’s hard enough to make the playoffs after an 0-2 start, but the Bears have serious injury issues to combat as they try to climb out of the NFC North cellar.

What’s next: Another prime-time game, this time Sunday night in Dallas against Dak Prescott and the 1-1 Cowboys.

BEARS NOTES

Cutler, Bears go down in ugly loss

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com CHICAGO – The Bears had an absolute nightmare second half with injuries and turnovers marring their home opener, a 29-14 loss to the Eagles. They are now 1-8 at Soldier Field under John Fox. “Very disappointed,” Fox said.

“A lot was made of our home record from a year ago and we talked about it enough but obviously it didn’t look like it translated. ... Obviously it felt bad without looking at the tape. Any time you’re minus-three in turnover ratio, it could look like that. It definitely wasn’t a clean game. I think we’re capable of better and we’ve got to do better.”

Two Jay Cutler turnovers, an injury to Cutler’s throwing hand, a Jeremy

Langford lost fumble and four injured starters on defense led to the worst half of football for the Bears in the Fox era.

Trailing 9-7 coming out of halftime, the Bears had the ball on first down at the Eagles’ 43-yard line and were driving to take the lead when Cutler was strip-sacked. The defense held, but Cutler had aggravated an injury to his right (throwing) thumb on the play. He remained in the game, as the Bears ran the ball seven times on the next drive before a bad incomplete pass on third down.

The Eagles took it 68 yards in eight plays to go up 16-7, and Cutler threw an interception right to linebacker Nigel Bradham on the next play, leading to another Eagles touchdown – 13 points in 23 seconds.

“I’m not sure when exactly [Cutler] did it but I just heard from the

offensive coaches that it was bothering him,” Fox said. “He kind of shortarmed a couple throws and they said it was a problem and that’s when we made the change.”

On the interception, Cutler said, “I couldn’t get as much on it as I wanted to get it over the top of that ‘backer.

Unfortunate. It hurt the team.”

It got worse, as Brian Hoyer came in the game and Jeremy Langford lost a fumble, leading to another Eagles touchdown to punctuate the nationally televised loss.

“It’s tough. It strengthens you,” Fox said. “A lot of times, if it was easy, anybody could do it. It’s two games and we have 14 games left. Right now, all our focus will go very quickly to Dallas. We have a lot of improving to do.”

Asked if this is as tough as it gets for a head coach, Fox responded, “Not as

tough as last year. We were 0-3.”

Night filled with injuries: The Bears got out of Week 1 without any key injuries, but they weren’t nearly that lucky on Monday night, starting with Cutler’s thumb injury.

“I’m concerned,” Cutler said. “As a quarterback, you kind of need your right thumb. It was [2011] when I had surgery on this thumb, so we’ll see what this is.”

Lamarr Houston suffered what Fox described as a “substantial” injury to his knee. Promising second-year nose tackle Eddie Goldman was carted off the field in the fourth quarter with a left ankle injury. Bryce Callahan and Adrian Amos both suffered concussions and missed the second half.

Ka’Deem Carey left the game with a hamstring injury, and Chris Prosinski injured his calf.

VIEWS Adam Jahns

• MORRISSEY

Continued from page 2 Just more of the same from the Bears, who have made bad decisions a way of life.

There was nothing about a 29-14 loss to the Eagles that said the arrow is pointing up for this franchise. The offensive line didn’t block, the defense didn’t defend and the coaching staff didn’t do much other than look befuddled.

When the loudest message coming out of the home opener is that it’s going to be a long, long season, it makes you want to take up a hobby that’s easier on the system. Is toxic-spill mopping a hobby?

After the game, Cutler said he didn’t know the extent of his injury but did say he was concerned. He said he was not concerned about McPhee’s

Bears receiver Alshon Jeffery makes a catch against Philadelphia Eagles free safety Jalen Mills during the first half Monday night at Soldier Field. got to figure it out.”

Receiver Kevin White requires more time and practice. So does the offensive line.

The protection issues continued from the season opener last week against the Texans. The Eagles hit Cutler six times and had three sacks.

Cutler was jarred early by safety Malcom Jenkins on a blitz. Rookie defensive tackle Destiny Vaeao had

a sack-and-strip of Cutler in the third quarter and defensive end Brandon Graham beat right tackle Bobby Massie in the second.

But nothing is more damning for the Bears’ offense than when a defense schemes Jeffery into a nonfactor. It’s happened in consecutive weeks with Loggains and Cutler having no answers for it.

Against the Eagles, Jeffery beat

outburst.

“He’s a passionate guy,” Cutler said. “Everyone’s got a lot invested in this, and he does as well. No one likes to lose, and no one likes to lose in that type of fashion. He’s upset, I’m upset, everyone in that locker room is upset right now.”

Cutler is Cutler. Many of us know that. Others refuse to acknowledge it.

But there’s something almost offensive about the way the Bears have not just stood by his side but tried to construct a narrative that he’s a good player.

As if the viewing audience doesn’t have working eyes and a rudimentary knowledge of football. That’s what made McPhee’s sideline act Monday so stunning.

Somehow Cutler manages to stay on, like the only employee who knows which keys go to what locks. For all his physical talents, that’s his most amazing skill. He managed to get a sev-

en-year, $126 million contract in 2014 out of very little production. I’ll have what the Bears were having when they gave him all that money.

Here’s how his Monday night went: • A pass that should have been picked off in the first quarter.

• A sack that led to a terrible fumble recovered by the Eagles.

• A pass so short of the receiver that it probably left a divot.

• And, almost like clockwork, that awful interception.

It wasn’t all his fault, of course. He was sacked three times. Jeremy Langford averaged 2.5 yards on 11 carries.

Even when the Bears did something right Monday, like stuffing a goal-line run on fourth down, something bad happened, like defensive lineman Akiem Hicks lining up in the neutral zone to give the Eagles another chance.

That, of course, led to another Philadelphia touchdown.

• Adam L. Jahns is a Chicago SunTimes sports writer. Write to him at ajahns@suntimes.com.

Cutler was outplayed by Eagles rookie Carson Wentz, who had a nice, but not great, night. Wentz completed 21 of 34 passes for 190 yards and a touchdown. He made few mistakes.

The Bears are 0-2. Perhaps team consultant Ernie Accorsi can remind us about what he saw when he recommended coach John Fox to the McCaskeys, because right now, with the team in distress, it’s hard to see whatever it was he saw.

It was a brutal game to watch.

The best part was the knowledge that it would eventually end. Midway through the fourth quarter, Soldier Field was mostly empty. The fans had seen enough. They had had their say.

So had one of Cutler’s teammates, finally.

Throw the ball up and let receiver Alshon Jeffery do the rest. That just about sums up Bears quarterback Jay Cutler’s thought process when the opportunity arises.

And, with two lackluster games as evidence, it’s all the Bears’ offense apparently has that works.

After Eagles walloped the Bears 29-14 before a national audience on Monday night, it became more evident that the Bears’ offense will go only as far as Cutler’s connection with Jeffery can take it, especially while it figures things out in the early going.

All of that comes with a caveat, of course: Both players must stay healthy.

That didn’t happen Monday night. Cutler had a cast on his right hand after injuring his thumb and leaving late in the third quarter.

The offense looks like a mess after two games. It’s been an inauspicious start for offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains. His offense is responsible for only 21 points in two games. “[The offense] is not where it should be,” said Cutler, who completed 12 of 17 passes for 157 yards and an interception. “Everyone is a little taken aback by what happened during that game.

“We had a good game plan. I know Dowell and the coaches are putting together good games plans. They’re calling good games. It’s kind of one thing after another that kills drives. We

rookie cornerback Jalen Mills on a stutter step early on his go route. He made a 49-yard catch down to the Eagles’ 5-yard line.

Two plays later, Jeffery drew a pass-interference penalty in the end zone on cornerback Nolan Carroll.

Shortly thereafter, running back Jeremy Langford scored on a one-yard run.

Jeffery had three catches for 73 yards in the first half. He was then shut out in the third quarter. Jeffery had a 11-yard and 12-yard receptions in the fourth quarter with Brian Hoyer in for Cutler. But the damage had been done.

Against the Texans, Jeffery had four catches for 105 yards, including a 54-yarder to set the stage for veteran Eddie Royal’s 19-yard touchdown. But all of his production came in the first half. The Bears were shut out in the second half in Houston essentially because Jeffery was.

It’s the story of the Bears’ offense so far this season. Royal (four catches, 52 yards) remains Cutler’s second-best option, but he’s not enough. The power running game the Bears want is yet to find a spark.

In an offense filled with question marks, Jeffery is an exclamation point.

But opponents are finding answers for him.

“Like you’d expect, they rolled to him, probably more than anybody else,” coach John Fox said. “That’s going to happen. We still have to execute with the guys around him better.”

6 GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: MARIAN CENTRAL 2, HARVEST CHRISTIAN 0

Hurricanes manufacture energy Burst in first set sends Marian to sweep of Harvest

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – With the score tied in the first game Monday against Harvest Christian, Marian Central volleyball coach Laura Watling asked her team for some kind of increase in energy, even if they had to fake it.

“I just felt like our energy level was not high,” Watling said. “And I know we had a really long week this past week, especially with the weekend.

“I tried to tell the girls to at least fake it. Fake the energy so we can pick up the pace, because it was just slow and just a little stale for a while.”

After being tied at 5 in the first, the Hurricanes rattled off 10 of the next 12 points, came to life and went on to beat Harvest Christian, 25-16, 25-19, in a nonconference match at Marian Central.

“I think we kind of realized we needed to pick it up, we needed to start talking, speed up our game, play the way we know how to play,” senior setter McKayla Wuensch said. “Once we realized that, it kind of speeded things up. We’re like, ‘OK, yeah, let’s go.’”

The Hurricanes were coming off a weekend in which they played five games in two days, including taking their first loss of the season. Watling said she thought the team responded well to the end of the 24-match winning streak, which dated to last season.

“It’s not like you want to say it’s going to come eventually, but really, like to have that kind of perfect season, especially with the kind of schedule we play, it’s hard, like really hard to do,” Watling said. “Honestly the girls responded over the weekend really well. ... I really don’t think it affected them so much, I think it’s just the taxing of playing those five matches and then having one day of rest and coming back into it with no practice in between, it’s just go, go, go, it’s a lot.”

On Monday, despite the slow start, the Hurricanes never trailed in the twoset victory.

“Just playing the way we know how to play, we started serving really well, getting the kills,” Wuensch said. “Once we speeded up our game and started playing the way we know how to play instead of slowing down to their game, once we picked it up, that’s when it started to separate.”

Harvest Christian (6-3) was led by five kills from Mikayla Robinson, a familiar face to some of the Hurricanes who play with her for Sky High Volleyball club. Robinson, daughter of former Bears receiver Marcus Robinson, is committed to play at South Carolina.

“It’s fun to have her on the other side of the court and play (against her) now and then,” Wuensch said.

NORTHWEST HERALD POWER RANKINGS (Through Sunday) 1. Marian Central (17-1): The Hurricanes won their first 16 matches before falling to St. Charles East at the Mother McAuley Preview, ending a 24-match winning streak dating to last year.

2. Crystal Lake Central (12-5): The Tigers handed Prairie Ridge its first FVC loss of

Proud Sponsor of Athlete of the Week the year and finished fourth at the McAuley Preview, losing to Marian Central in the third-place match. They have Tuesday off and play Huntley on Thursday.

3. Huntley (6-1): The Red Raiders picked up FVC wins over McHenry and Crystal Lake South. Huntley plays Prairie Ridge on Tuesday and Crystal Lake Central on Thursday.

4. Prairie Ridge (7-5): The Wolves have lost five in a row, going 1-4 at the Wheaton Warrenville South Classic, after a 7-0 start, and face Huntley on Tuesday and Cary-Grove on Thursday.

5. Cary-Grove (5-5): The Trojans have won three in a row in the FVC and face Crystal Lake South on Tuesday and Prairie Ridge on Thursday. They are fourth in the FVC at 4-3.

NOTEWORTHY Good news: Prairie Ridge suffered its first FVC loss, to Crystal Lake Central on Thursday, but the Wolves did have some positive

news in the return of sophomore middle blocker Sammi Lockwood and junior libero Mackenzie Garis.

Lockwood (back), who committed to Notre Dame in the summer, played in her first match since Aug. 25, and Garis (hamstring) returned last week after being sidelined for 10 days. “[Lockwood] really hasn’t practiced much, but I just wanted to try to get her some blocking because they (Central) were swinging so aggressive,” Wolves coach Stefanie Otto said.

“We thought [Garis] tore her meniscus, but it was her hamstring that was causing her problems. We thought she was going to be done, and she was allowed to play again.”

The Wolves are on a five-match losing streak but remain one of the top contenders in the FVC. Thunder records set: Woodstock North set a pair of school single-match records in last week’s 23-25, 26-24, 25-23 Kishwaukee River Conference loss to Johnsburg. Junior defensive specialist Sami Long set the record for digs with 30, and senior middle blocker Alayna Reyes recorded six blocks.

Hurricanes rising: Marian Central (17-1) moved up four spots from No. 15 to No. 11 in last week’s MaxPreps.com’s top-25 high school rankings, which are updated every

Wednesday.

The Hurricanes were one spot behind Geneva for the top ranking in Illinois, but lost for the first time this year, to St. Charles East at the Mother McAuley Preview on Saturday.

Geneva (13-0) remains perfect after winning the Wheaton Warrenville South Classic over the weekend with a 31-29, 29-27 win over Benet in the championship. Geneva plays St. Charles East on Tuesday.

THIS WEEK’S TOP MATCHES Huntley at Prairie Ridge 6 p.m. Tuesday The Red Raiders and Wolves are both 6-1 in the FVC. The winner will be tied for first place with Crystal Lake Central.

Fowler helps Cubs take series opener

By JAY COHEN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Dexter Fowler hit a tiebreaking single with two outs in the seventh inning, and the Cubs beat the Cincinnati Reds, 5-2, Monday night.

Fowler’s line drive into center field capped a three-run rally for the Cubs after they were shut down by Tim Adleman most of the night. It also made a winner of Jason Hammel (15-9), who pitched seven solid innings.

Jason Heyward added a two-run homer in the eighth as the Cubs moved seven games ahead of Washington for the best record in the National League, lowering their magic number for clinching home-field advantage throughout the NL playoffs to five. That’s the only major goal still out there during the regular season for the major league-leading Cubs after it secured the NL Central title last week.

Brandon Phillips homered for lastplace Cincinnati, which has lost five of six. Joey Votto went 2 for 3 with an RBI single and a walk, increasing his batting average since the All-Star break to .416.

The Reds allowed three more homers to run their season total to 242, breaking the major league record of 241 belonging to the 1996 Detroit Tigers.

The Cubs (95-55) were coming off a lackluster series against the Brewers, dropping three of four while celebrating their division title, and manager

There was no sign of any carry-over from the meeting before Addison Russell led off the seventh with a drive to left for his 21st homer. Willson Contreras crushed another homer with one out, tying it at 2 and chasing Adleman from the longest start of his rookie year.

Chris Coghlan greeted Blake Wood (6-

4) with a double to right. After pinch-hitter Tommy La Stella popped out, Fowler made it 3-2 with his only hit of the game.

Hammel, trying to win a spot in the postseason rotation, allowed four hits and walked one during his best outing in a month. He went 1-4 with an 8.61 ERA in his previous five starts.

Hector Rondon worked the eighth before Aroldis Chapman finished for his 15th save with the Cubs and 35th on the year. It was Chapman’s first career appearance against Cincinnati, which traded the hard-throwing closer to the New York Yankees in December.

CHICAGO – Cubs manager Joe Maddon and the staff caught a lot of flak from veteran pitchers unhappy with their pitching schedules getting disrupted just before the All-Star break – and twice after – by the use of a sixth starter.

Nobody can know for sure what kind of difference it made. But keeping the five-man rotation intact and strong – as it appears to be heading toward the playoffs – was, of course, the idea of building in those periods of extra rest.

Surely, the Cubs starters are convinced of the value at this point – especially after a handful of key pitching injuries to other potential playoff staffs in recent days.

“They haven’t admitted that,” Maddon said. “I think they’ve been good about it, though. They’ve benefited. But it’s hard to get any of them to admit to that, So I’m not even trying.

“I just hope that it doesn’t happen to any of them.”

Just over the weekend, All-Star starter Jacob deGrom of the Mets (elbow surgery) and Carlos Carrasco of the Indians (broken finger) were deemed out for the season by their clubs.

That puts three of the four Mets starters from last year’s playoff sweep against the Cubs on the DL, with the chance lefty Steven Matz could return.

Carrasco joins Danny Salazar (forearm) – two of the Indians’ top three starters – on the sidelines, considered out for the postseason.

And Stephen Strasburg (elbow), the Nationals’ No. 2 starter when the season started, still remains uncertain for the playoffs two weeks after being sidelined.

By contrast, among the Cubs pitchers who opened in their rotations each of the past two seasons, only John Lackey, late this season, spent any time on

the DL. He went less than three weeks between starts because of a sore shoulder and sill should reach 30 starts this season.

Whatever it may say about the Cubs’ methods – and whatever the cranky old tough guys in the rotation might think about extra rest – the recent injuries among other contenders just increased the Cubs’ relative strength as a World Series favorite.

“There’s more we don’t know about pitching health than we do know,” team president Theo Epstein said. “The things that we do know and that we can prove empirically, or that we have a strong intuition that work, we try to put into practice from rookie ball up to the big leagues. And we try to hire the best trainers and the best coaches and try to focus on the long-term perspective.

“We hope some of the things we do work, but we also know we certainly don’t have all the answers.”

The Cubs aren’t the only team that uses spot starters to pace the regular starters for a long season of health.

But few do it with as systematic an approach.

“I just think that industry-wide going into next year you’re going to see a lot of second halves that include sixth guys in the rotation,” Maddon predicted. “I really believe that. … The biggest problem is to get that sixth guy. Everybody’s trying to get five. And some teams are trying to get four guys they like.”

Injury updates: Outfielder Jorge Soler, who left Friday’s game with tightness in his side is tentatively expected to be ready off the bench to pinch hit Tuesday. ... Setup man Pedro Strop, who has been on the disabled list since Aug. 11 because of knee surgery (then a groin injury during rehab), fared well after a Sunday bullpen session and could be activated after a simulated game in the next day or two.

Same number, new sport: Tebow works out at Mets camp

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. – Tim Tebow arrived at the New York Mets’ minor league clubhouse Monday morning, finding an orange-and-blue jersey with No. 15 on the back swaying in his locker.

He was asked whether that worked.

“Heck, yeah,” Tebow replied.

It’s the same color scheme he wore as a national champion and Heisman Trophy winner at Florida, and the same number he wore with the Gators and throughout his less-than-storied years as an NFL quarterback. And now he’s wearing it again as he tries to find a place in baseball, going through his first workout with the Mets’ instructional league squad on Monday.

He showed some power, hitting three balls in batting practice off the chain-link fence in right-center – better than just about everyone else did. He showed some rust, popping up a half-dozen pitches in that same BP session. And he showed a need for work, after one of his throws sailed well over someone’s head and nearly onto an adjacent field during a simple game of catch.

“It was a lot of fun,” Tebow said. “It was great. It was great to be on a team. It was great to just go through a warmup and go through drills, just have fun, take BP, get to know all the guys, try to remember as many names as possible.”

Predictably, it was also a circus atmosphere.

Hundreds of fans – many wearing Tebow jerseys, some even wearing now-on-sale Mets shirts with Tebow’s name – showed up; a worker at the Mets’ complex said

instructional league workouts last year drew maybe a couple dozen people, tops. A news helicopter circled over the field where Tebow worked for more than an hour. He got a huge cheer from fans for executing his first official drill, one where he learned how to take a lead off first base.

“Never been here before,” said Sarah Dale, a waitress who works an overnight shift and now says she’ll be a Mets fan. “I’m here for Tim Tebow. ... He’s a people person.

Everyone loves him.”

Less than 3 percent of U.S. athletes in Rio had medical exemptions Fifteen of the 558 athletes in the U.S. delegation at the Rio Olympics – or slightly less than 3 percent – had therapeutic-use exemptions in force during the games.

The exemptions, known as TUEs, came under increased scrutiny last week after Russian hackers broke into the database of the World Anti-Doping Agency and posted confidential medical information online from some athletes.

TUEs let athletes use otherwise-banned substances to treat long-standing medical conditions, such as attention deficit disorder and asthma. Proponents argue those exemptions only level the playing field; critics say they can give competitors an edge.

The hackers largely targeted female U.S. Olympians, among them tennis stars Serena and Venus Williams and gold medal-winning gymnast Simone Biles. All three, as well as several other prominent athletes whose medical records were posted, said the data strongly supported their use of a TUE.
