Text messaging is replacing the good, old telephone call where you actually are forced to speak to a person.

U.S. teenagers send an average of 30 texts a day, according to the Incredible Internet, a number that boggles my mind. That’s 900 texts a month. I’m not a teenager. In the past 10 months, I’ve sent 101 texts, something a teenager would have done by lunch on the fourth day. But I have received 243 texts in the past 15 months, which seems like a lot to me. But that’s less than one a day.

I’m not sure why I have records of 10 months of sending texts and 15 months of receiving texts. I can only assume that I deleted the older texts I sent at one point to clean up my phone, but I never got around to deleting the incoming text messages. Maybe I was too overwhelmed by the sheer number.

I have to delete one text at a time, and it isn’t enough just to erase a text, the phone asks you, “Erase message?” and you have to answer yes or no, which seems to be a bit much, as if texts have real value, and you’re getting your second chance to decline deleting it. Just to be on the safe side.

But now I have to answer that question almost 350 times, and that is overwhelming. But I know that people’s voicemail boxes can fill to overflowing and no more messages can be left.

Is the same true for the texts? At what point will the cellphone refuse more text messages? So, really, maybe this weekend I should weed out the old text messages and get things back to zero.

And because I have experienced running into full voicemail boxes, I make sure to delete each voicemail message as it comes in. Rarely do I save a voicemail. I can’t remember the last time I saved one, but just about the only one who leaves me voicemail messages is my pharmacy.

And I would hazard to guess that my pharmacy calls me the most, too, period.

But to listen to your voicemail messages, I have to punch in a password to access them, and when I was just receiving voicemail, it seemed to make sense. You wouldn’t want just anyone listening to your private voicemails informing you that your prescription is ready to be picked up.

Text messages are different. I don’t need a password to access them. I simply open up my phone, check to see whether I have any texts, and click on it if I do, and there it is for everybody to see – my text message. Not only the most recent one but every text message.

I’m not advocating for another password, I’m

VIEWS Dick Peterson just saying.

With people sending more text messages than voicemail, or making telephone calls, for that matter, it would seem you’d want to protect your texts from wandering eyes.

Going back years now, I was reluctant to send text messages. They were a new thing, and I thought if it was important enough to leave a text, couldn’t a phone call have been made – actual interaction between two people? But phone calls tend to go on, and they’re not always convenient to take. You might be at work or in the middle of something, and you can’t be bothered.

And that’s the beauty of the text message.

It’s short and to the point, and it can be viewed and responded to at the recipient’s convenience.

My cellphone rings several times before it goes to voicemail, and while I have the sound of the ring tone set for low, it’s kind of a pleasant-sounding ring that doesn’t jar the ear. When a text message comes in, my cellphone makes a barely audible blip. Perfect.

The trouble with text messages is sending them. I don’t have a smartphone, I have a dumb phone – the old-fashioned simple flip phone that only makes and receives calls and text messages. It has an alarm feature that I use to remind me to take pills, and it has a camera that is pretty much useless.

To send texts, you have to go to the numeric keypad, and the 26-letter alphabet is buried beneath the nine keys. To get the right letter, you have to press the number two or three or four times to get it, then you move on to the next letter. If you want punctuation, you have to go to the options and scroll down for them. It’s quite a production to get a text message typed up. Smartphones have qwerty keypads built into them, and sending a text is pretty slick.

I couldn’t send 30 texts a day if I tried. My fingers would be worn to a nub pounding out the letters to respond to or send unsolicited texts.

I’m pretty much in the Stone Age when it comes to texting, but I’m comfortable there for now.

Steven Reick, John Bartman seek to succeed Jack Franks in 63rd House District

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com

V

oters in the 63rd House District will decide Nov. 6 who they want to succeed longtime Democratic state Rep. Jack Franks.

They, and the rest of McHenry County’s voters, will choose between Franks and Republican Michael Walkup for the chairmanship of the County Board. But district voters also will decide whether Republican candidate Steven Reick or Democratic candidate John Bartman represents their interests in Springfield.

Both candidates oppose increasing state taxes, and identify lowering property taxes as a top priority, albeit through different methods.

Reick, 63, a self-employed tax attorney from Woodstock, said that he wants to help stop the status quo in Springfield, and identified education funding reform as a key way to lower the property-tax burden.

McHenry County’s burden is among the highest in the nation.

Sarah Nader - snader@shawmedia.com “I want to lower taxes by proposing changes to edSteven Reick (left), the Republican candidate for state representative in District 63, talks with Dane Thull, field director, ucation funding, changes which put more power in and Jordan Ryan, campaign manager, Wednesday at his campaign office in Woodstock. the hands of parents. The status quo has driven people and jobs out of Illinois because the Legislature does the bidding of groups that have bought and paid for it instead of the work of the people,” Reick said.

Bartman, a fifth-generation Marengo farmer and small-business owner, said he wants to continue the tax fighting work he said Franks did, which helped the Democratic representative hold onto a solidly conservative district.

“I am the only candidate prepared to pick up Jack Franks’ torch and be an outspoken critic of waste and fraud as well as an uncompromising fighter of taxes in Springfield,” said Bartman, 39.

Reick said getting the state’s fiscal house back in order cannot happen without reform to the five state-run pension systems, which have an unfunded liability of at least $111 billion, not counting benefits.

Pensions now take up almost 25 percent of the state budget.

Reform is easier said than done, especially with an Illinois Supreme Court ruling reinforcing the constitutional mandate that existing benefits cannot be diminished.

Reick said the state needs to treat the portion of the budget set aside for the pension underfunding as a capital project and find a dedicated, but revenue-neutral, source to pay it down. He supports moving all new state employees to a defined-contribution system, and said that taxpayers can no longer afford holding all the portfolio risk of an unsustainable defined-benefit system.

Four candidates seek voter nod for McHenry County Board District 1

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com A Republican incumbent, a Republican newcomer and two Democratic challengers will face off Nov. 6 for two open seats representing District 1 of the McHenry County Board.

Yvonne Barnes, R-Cary, is asking for another term in office, and is joined on the GOP side by Tom Wilbeck, of Barrington Hills. Democratic candidates Kerri Barber and Kathryn Potter, both from Cary, round out the race for the district, which covers eastern and southern Algonquin Township and the southeastern corner of Grafton Township, including Algonquin, Cary, Fox River Grove, Trout Valley and Barrington Hills.

All four prioritize cutting County Board spending and giving beleaguered property owners some tax relief, but have different opinions along party lines as to how to do it. About 10 percent of a property owner’s tax bill goes to county government.

Barnes, a self-employed technical consultant, said that if elected, she will continue to seek budget cuts and eliminating nonessential spending. Most recently, she has been a voice of opposition to a proposal to use the county’s debt service to pay for a four-year improvement plan for county-owned buildings. Barnes, 55, is a former Cary village trustee, has served eight years on the County Board and is currently the board’s vice chairwoman.

“I support decreased spending and a reduction in the size and scope of government. I oppose efforts to increase revenues through taxation, debt service or increased fees,” Barnes said.

Barber said she has “practical ideas for cutting costs,” including saving millions by cutting overhead at the County Board level. Both she and Potter emphasized that cuts can be made without impacting the most vulnerable county residents.

Wilbeck likewise said that new people and new ideas are needed on the board

to end what he called business-as-usual thinking – besides cuts, he supports consolidation and intergovernmental sharing of services to reduce costs.

One financial aspect on which candidates differ by party is the levy for Valley Hi Nursing Home, which has racked up a reserve large enough to fund years of operations, thanks to significant budget reforms and the annual tax levy.

Both Barnes and Wilbeck defended the board’s decision to eliminate its levy this year and give residents some tax relief, and support repeating it to some extent next year, although under Illinois tax law, it will be capped at the new rate after one year and cannot be raised back without a referendum.

Barber said she will be a strong advocate for the county-run nursing home west of Woodstock, and will push back against calls for a referendum to privatize the facility. Potter, a stay-at-home mother and community volunteer with a background in social services, also said the home, and the surplus, are assets. Both pointed out that Valley Hi’s financial performance was a factor in the county’s receiving a top AAA credit rating by Moody’s Investors Service.

“The individual tax burden amount per tax year is not significant enough to justify the county doing away with the levy or with Valley Hi altogether. The surplus created by the Valley Hi levy is an asset to this county. It helps maintain services to our indigent seniors, and our AAA credit rating, allowing us to borrow money at lower rates,” said Potter, 32.

The candidates also prioritized improving the county’s job climate. Both Barnes and Wilbeck, a retired financial services professional and business owner, emphasized lowering the county tax levy and removing barriers to economic growth such as excessive fees and paperwork. Wilbeck, 66, had served as a Seneca Township trustee and later on the board of McHenry County College until he moved out of district.

“McHenry County has to be an attractive location for businesses. The County Board has to look at making the county a business destination through less regulation and less taxes. We need to stop the population exodus and make the county demographically attractive so businesses will locate here. To keep people from moving, we have to lower their taxes,” Wilbeck said.

Potter and Barber emphasized diversifying the county’s economy, and identifying what is hindering small and large businesses from either locating here or expanding. Barber, a self-employed marketing communications strategist, pointed out that 75 percent of consumer goods bought in McHenry County are imported from elsewhere.

“It’s not about taxing businesses more, it is about adding new business and helping existing ones grow to naturally create a larger pool of income with more employed people, which helps lessen the burden across the whole,” said Barber, 42.

Candidates support the idea of decreasing the board’s size – voters will be asked an advisory question to determine whether the size should be decreased when the next opportunity arises after the 2020 U.S. Census.

Barnes supports a 25 percent reduction from 24 members to 18, but opposes the idea of single-member districts. Barber and Potter support halving the size to 12, but Barber said that she in that case would like to see full-time legislators, to “incentivize that person to ‘live and breathe’ advocacy for our county” and to ensure that more people would be able to run. Wilbeck said he would be open to exploring the issue further, if elected.

Of the four candidates, Potter placed a significant emphasis on protecting the environment and ensuring that the county, specifically her district, has a sustainable supply of groundwater. Numerous studies have concluded that the area’s development is outstripping nature’s ability to recharge aquifers.

An Illinois State trooper is shown on Jefferson Street in Woodstock during the 1960s. The contraption on the top of the squad car is an early version of a radar speed monitor. The McHenry County Sheriff’s police participated in the national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over drunken driving enforcement campaign earlier this month, part of a nationwide campaign with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Illinois Department of Transportation. During the Labor Day campaign, the sheriff’s department issued six arrests for driving under the influence, two for having an invalid license and three for driving with a suspended license. There also were 11 citations for driving without insurance and 43 for speeding. That compares with 31 speeding tickets last year.

Candelight vigil will honor Laura Harrison

By JORDYN REILAND jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – This year’s Turning Point candlelight vigil will honor the late Laura K. Harrison, who authorities said was killed earlier this year by her husband in their McHenry home.

The candlelight vigil will be at 6 p.m. Oct. 6 at the Woodstock Square.

The event, held during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, will pay tribute to those who lost their lives to

domestic violence and abuse, as well as those who have been or are in violent domestic relationships.

Laura Harrison was fatally stabbed, allegedly by her husband, Anthony Harrison, in June. He was arrested and is facing murder charges.

Jane Farmer, executive director of Turning Point of McHenry County, said the event shows those in a violent domestic relationship that life can be better.

“It’s important that we come together as a community to honor those peo-

ple who have either died or who are experiencing domestic violence,” Farmer said. “It provides hope to those people who are in a domestic violence relationship or recently got out of one.”

The candlelight vigil is sponsored

by Turning Point, the Mathers Clinic, the 22nd Judicial Circuit Court Family Violence Coordinating Council and the Child Advocacy Center.

Those who need help or assistance from Turning Point can call the office at 815-338-8081 or the crisis hotline at 800-892-8900.

However, after the Defenders decided to suspend its plastic foam operations, Santowski said he’s seen McHenry County residents wanting to get more involved and help bring back the program.

“So we shut down to regroup and see what happens,” Santowski said.

“After seeing more support, we then came up with the crowdfunding idea.”

Dart Container, a manufacturer of foam cups and containers, is partnering with Santowski to reprocess collected plastic foam into other usable products. Even so, the Defenders still need financial support to be able to transport the plastic foam to and from the collection sites.

The Defenders are currently seeking more than $500,000 via the crowdsourcing campaign. Santowski said he also plans to go to various towns in Kane and McHenry counties to talk with village board members about the campaign.

The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County recently launched a crowdsourcing campaign in attempt to fund a plastic foam collection program for the next three to five years.

The campaign, called Cloud Based Styrofoam, would help reopen local collection sites and expand plastic foam recycling efforts into more communities in Kane and McHenry counties.

There has been no nearby dropoff site for recycling Styrofoam since the Algonquin Public Works Facility closed in July.

With higher costs and no local collection site for the Defenders to go to, the Styrofoam program was temporarily suspended.

“Not many people may realize this, but this collection program was not funded by the government,” Defenders board member Kenneth Santowski said. “Everything from the program

Owners seek to turn home into boutique-style store

By HANNAH PROKOP hprokop@shawmedia.com

HUNTLEY – Two Lake in the Hills residents are looking to transform a single-family residence at 11103 Church St. in Huntley into a boutique-style home goods store.

After it was reviewed by the Huntley Village Board on Thursday, the project will move to the plan commission to determined whether it should be rezoned to hold a business, Huntley business development coordinator Margo Griffin said.

The two-story home, built about 1915 according to village documents, would host the home goods store, Plenty, on the first floor, and use the second floor as a space to host activities, such as music lessons or book clubs.

“We just went in it and saw the potential,” co-owner of the store Lisa Uidl said of she and her husband, Randy Uidl.

The store will sell decor and home goods, artisan work, an assortment of small, specialty and handcrafted furniture and home furnishings, select books, stationary products, unique jewelry, clothing and music.

Lisa Uidl said she loves visiting stores around the country with beauti-

ful and unique items.

“It’s just always kind of been a dream in the back of my mind that maybe one day I could spend my whole day in a place like this,” Lisa Uidl said.

Plenty would be Lisa Uidl and her husband’s first business.

Lisa Uidl is a former teacher and discipleship pastor at Willow Creek Community Church in Huntley, and Randy Uidl is a battalion chief at the Mount Prospect Fire Department.

“This is kind of outside of our comfort zone and outside of everything we’ve ever done before,” Lisa Uidl said.

Part of what drew the Uidls to downtown Huntley is its redeveloped downtown, Lisa Uidl said. They anticipate opening Plenty in March.

“I think that they’ve done a wonderful job of restoring life to downtown Huntley, but it’s still small, it’s just growing,” Lisa Uidl said.

The house had always been used for residential purposes, Griffin said, and has beautiful woodwork inside.

The village has been promoting converting homes in the downtown area to commercial uses, Griffin said.

“As Main Street gets busier, it just makes more senses to convert them,” Griffin said. “You want to keep the older structures.”

West Lake subdivision development plans move forward

Shaw Media photo

A 227-unit townhome development was originally planned for the West Lake subdivision, but after the recession and housing crash, only 67 of the original units have been built. or plan given the fact that there hasn’t been any development on this property in quite some time, and it’s important given its entryway position,” Trustee Rick Dudek said.

Trustee Ellen McAlpine said she hopes the homes spur more development in the area. There is room for 42 more townhome units on the north side of Wellington Lane.

For McAlpine, the size of the proposed lots aren’t a problem.

“There are a lot of people that really don’t want all that maintenance,” McAlpine said. “They don’t want as much land anymore.”

Village President Mark Kownick said William Ryan Homes had also been working to resolve problems with residents from the Enclave subdivision, where the developer has built homes.

Residents who spoke at a previous Committee of the Whole meeting said William Ryan Homes did not properly transfer the ownership of the neighborhood’s homeowners’ association. At Tuesday’s meeting, Wynsma said the problems should be resolved within the next month.

The plans will move to the Cary Board of Zoning, Planning and Appeals for consideration before coming back to the Village Board.

CARY – Revised plans for a development in the West Lake subdivision in Cary were presented to the Committee of the Whole after trustees previously had expressed concerns with the density of the neighborhood.

William Ryan Homes is looking to build 59 single-family homes in the mostly vacant part of the neighborhood south of Wellington Lane.

Original plans for the property, which were approved for development by the village in 2003, included a 227-unit townhome development, but only 67 units have been built, according to village documents.

When Nate Wynsma, vice president of land with William Ryan Homes, went before the Cary Committee of the Whole earlier this month, some trustees questioned whether the lot sizes were too small, prompting Wynsma to come back with a revised plan.

Instead of 61 lots with a minimum lot size of 6,930 square feet, the new plan calls for 59 lots with a minimum lot size of 7,575 square feet, Cary Community Development Director Brian Simmons said at Tuesday’s committee meeting.

Wynsma said the average lot would be more than 9,600 square feet.

“It’s really not a cluster by any means,” Wynsma said.

The homes would average between 2,000 to 3,000 square feet, with an average cost in the low to mid $300,000s, Wynsma has said.

‘‘

The status quo has driven people and jobs out of Illinois because the Legislature does the bidding of groups that have bought and paid for it instead of the work of the people.”

Continued from page A3 “Many of my clients are pilots for United Airlines, and I know firsthand what it looks like when a pension plan explodes, and it’s not pretty. The same thing is happening here, only the numbers are bigger and the taxpayers are going to be left holding the bag,” Reick said.

For Bartman, the answer is simple – he said getting the state economy back on track and increasing tax revenue through economic growth is the best cure for the pension problem. Like Reick, he said he will not vote for a tax increase. He called the state tax system “anti-family” and cited the tax burden as one of the reasons why people are leaving.

Illinois in recent years has led all 50 states in outmigration, and McHenry County’s population, after decades of steady growth, has decreased since the 2010 U.S. Census.

Bartman said one of his priorities if elected will be to target and elimi-

“Currently, corporations enjoy over $2 billion worth of tax loopholes that need immediate review.

“If these breaks are found not necessary, then they should be removed.

corporations,” Bartman said.

Reick said he fully supports the “Turnaround Agenda” of Gov. Bruce Rauner, singling out changing workers’ compensation and prevailing wage laws, and tort reform.

“We can’t begin to grow jobs and prosperity in this state until we provide the conditions in which businesses will be encouraged to come to Illinois,” Reick said.

Bartman said he supports the agenda’s proposed property-tax freeze, and that he would work with anyone regardless of party on other solutions.

Both candidates support redistricting reform – the Supreme Court nixed another attempt by a good-government group to get a constitutional amendment before voters. Bartman said he believes in term limits for leadership and signaled that he would not, if elected, vote to re-elect Michael Madigan to another term as House speaker.

“I may just vote for myself for speaker,” Bartman said.

Reick and Bartman distanced themselves from their party’s presidential nominee. Reick said he is focused in the

Louisiana accordionist Buckwheat Zydeco dies at 68

By REBECCA SANTANA The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS – Musician Stanley “Buckwheat” Dural Jr., who rose from a cotton-picking family in southwest Louisiana to introduce zydeco music to the world through his namesake band Buckwheat Zydeco, has died. He was 68.

His longtime manager Ted Fox told The Associated Press that Dural died Saturday. He had suffered from lung cancer.

Fox said the musician and accordionist died at 1:32 a.m. Louisiana time at Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center in Lafayette, Louisiana.

He gained fame by introducing zydeco music of southwest Louisiana to the world.

“This is one of the world’s true genius musicians. A completely natural musician who could just fit in any scenario,” Fox said.

As news of his death spread, friends from around the world paid their respects.

“Buckwheat Zydeco embodied a genre and represented a community with his signature playing style that brought distinctly creole zydeco music to fans across the globe,” said Neil Portnow, who heads The Recording

Academy. “The world lost a music heavyweight today.”

Zydeco music was well known across southwest Louisiana where people would often drive for miles to small

dance halls where zydeco bands featuring an accordion and a washboard would rock the crowds for hours.

But Dural took zydeco music mainstream, launching a major-label album

– the Grammy-nominated “On a Night Like This,” – with Island Records in 1987.

He went on to jam with musical greats such as Eric Clapton, play at former President Bill Clinton’s inauguration and perform at the 1996 Olympics closing ceremony in Atlanta.

He jammed with Jimmy Fallon on the final episode of “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.”

Fallon played the guitar backed up by the Roots while Buckwheat Zydeco rocked the accordion.

“He brought zydeco to unprecedented new audiences,” said Ben Sandmel, a music historian who wrote a book titled “Zydeco!” about the music.

Dural earned his nickname because he had braided hair when he was younger that resembled Buckwheat from The Little Rascals television show.

Born Nov. 14, 1947 in Lafayette, Louisiana, Dural was one of 13 children.

His father played the accordion but the younger Dural preferred listening to and playing rhythm & blues and learned to play the organ, his obituary said.

Sandmel said while Dural was internationally famous for his zydeco music he was also an accomplished R&B artist and a diverse musician.

By DEBRA PRESSEY The (Champaign) News-Gazette URBANA – When Dennis Roberts’ car insurance started getting a bit too expensive, he did what a lot of consumers do and shopped around.

Then he picked a new company and switched both his home and auto coverage, never expecting what it was going to cost him.

A few weeks after he switched, his new insurer sent an inspector over to his home in Urbana to look at the roof, then notified him he needed a roof replacement, Roberts said. Refusing would mean cancellation of his new policy.

But the roof on his home wasn’t failing, he argued. While it’s 18 years old, it was expected to last 25 years, and most of it is in good shape.

“To me, it looked fine,” Roberts said.

A city alderman, Roberts started asking around to see whether anything like this was happening to other people.

He’s heard from dozens of homeowners in Urbana who have had similar experiences with insurance companies demanding they replace their roofs, along with roofers who have been seeing this trend on the rise.

Record number of Illinois youths killed while in DCFS care

CHICAGO – A record number of youths have been killed while in the care of Illinois’ Department of Children and Family Services, many of them victims of Chicago’s gang violence.

The Chicago Tribune reported that 11 youths died during a two-year period that ended June 30, 2015.

A confidential Office of the Inspector General report obtained by the newspaper notes societal problems such as poverty played a role. It also identifies failures in the state system.

Many teens were placed for long periods in emergency shelters or in homes located in rival gang territories.

Urbana Alderman Dennis Roberts sits on the roof of his home Sept. 12 in Urbana. He is one of dozens of people he knows of locally who had home insurers tell them they would have to put new roofs on their homes when they weren’t needed yet, and without much time to get the job done, or their coverage would be canceled.

And he’s concerned because roofs aren’t cheap and many people can’t afford that kind of unexpected expense.

Roofs can run $7,000 and more, and people he has heard from have been given 30 to 90 days by their insurers to get the roofing jobs done, Roberts said.

“If you own your own home and have a fixed income, where are you going to get the money in 30 days?” he

asked.

Failed insurer’s customers face deadline to find new plan

CHICAGO – Illinois insurance regulators are reminding customers of Land of Lincoln Health that they must enroll in a new health insurance policy with a different company by the end of the month or they’ll have a gap in coverage.

Land of Lincoln began shutting down in July after crippling financial losses. The 3-year-old nonprofit’s failure left 49,000 Illinois policyholders searching for new coverage.

Local Realtor Jonah Weisskopf said he was running into roof demands from insurers through buying investment properties until he finally purchased a commercial policy with an exemption for roofs.

New roofs on two houses he bought in 2013 cost him $20,000, he said, and “neither of the roofs leaked or anything.”

Last fall, Jeff Machota of Urbana said he switched home and auto coverage looking for better car insurance rates and he, too, was hit with an unexpected roof inspection and demand to replace it in 90 days.

A new roof was on his someday list of improvements for this house, Machota said, but it was a few years down the road since the roof wasn’t yet failing. It was late fall and he argued with the insurer that it wasn’t the season to reroof a home, he said, but was told any company he switched to would require replacing the roof.

Clinton, Trump looking to quell weaknesses in debate

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Donald Trump needs to prove to voters that he has the policy depth and gravitas to serve as commander in chief. Hillary Clinton needs a moment to connect with Americans who question whether she can be trusted.

In an election year that has upended political convention, the candidates’ best opportunity to conquer their weaknesses will come in the most traditional of campaign forums: Monday’s 90-minute, prime-time debate.

Both campaigns expect a record-setting television audience for the high-stakes showdown, which could help tip the balance in a tight White House race.

The visuals alone will be striking as the candidates step behind their lecterns at Hofstra University in suburban New York. Clinton will be the first woman to take the stage in a presidential general election debate. Trump has spent years on Americans’ TV screens as a reality show host, but it can still be jarring to see him at politics’ upper echelons.

Six weeks from Election Day, and with early voting already underway, the opening debate is one of the few opportunities left for the candidates to motivate supporters and sway a narrow band of undecided voters. According to a new Associated Press-Gfk poll, more than 85 percent of likely voters backing Clinton or Trump said their minds are completely made up. About 13 percent said they were undecided.

The candidates’ preparation has been a microcosm of their sharply different approaches to politics and presumably, the presidency.

The Democratic nominee has taken full days away from campaign travel to pore over

briefing books, practicing to pounce if Trump makes false statements and steeling herself for the possibility that he levels deeply personal attacks. She’s been preparing for the debate at her home in Westchester, New York, and a nearby hotel, where she was spotted with aides Saturday afternoon.

Longtime Clinton aide Philippe Reines is playing Trump in mock debates, according to a person familiar with the preparations who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and insisted on anonymity. Reines is a combative political operative who is deeply loyal to Clinton.

Former President Bill Clinton has sat in on some sessions, offering advice from his own White House debates.

Trump has eschewed traditional debate preparations, but has held midflight policy discussions with a rotating cast of advisers. He’s also spent numerous Sundays batting around ideas with aides.

The Republican businessman’s loose approach is potentially risky given that he is new to many policy issues expected to come up during the debate. But advisers contend he will compensate by being quick on his feet and point to his experience at performing under pressure.

“Imagine the practice and the training of 13 years of reality television on ‘The Apprentice’ and then imagine Hillary’s experience reading hundreds of papers,” said Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker and a Trump adviser who has been talking through policy with the candidate in recent days.

Clinton aides fear Trump will indeed be judged more for his performance than his grasp of the numerous challenges that pass across a president’s desk.

This image made from video provided by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department on Saturday shows Keith Scott (left) moments before he was fatally shot by police Tuesday in Charlotte, N.C. rolled up. Scott gets out and starts walking backward before shots are fired.

From a different angle, newly released police body camera footage shows an officer approach with his gun drawn and another officer already pointing his gun at Scott. When Scott comes into view, his hands are at his side and he’s standing beside his SUV. The body camera footage doesn’t show the moment shots are fired, and Scott is next seen on the ground.

An attorney for Scott’s family, Justin

Bamberg, said the footage leaves questions unanswered more than it provides clarity.

“One of the biggest questions,” Bamberg said, “is do those actions, do those precious seconds, justify this shooting?”

Ray Dotch, Scott’s brother-in-law, objected to reporters’ questions about Scott’s background, saying he shouldn’t have to “humanize him in order for him to be treated fairly.”

Shooting sows terror at Washington mall; shooter on loose

By PHUONG LE and GILLIAN FLACCUS The Associated Press

Washington State Patrol via AP

This frame from Friday’s surveillance video provided by the Washington State Patrol shows the suspect in a shooting rampage at the Cascade Mall in Burlington, Wash., as authorities seek the public’s help in identifying and locating him.

BURLINGTON, Wash. – The first 911 call came in just before 7 p.m. on a busy Friday night at the Cascade Mall: A man with a rifle was shooting at people in the Macy’s Department Store.

By the time police arrived moments later, the carnage at the Macy’s makeup counter was complete. Four people were dead and the shooter was gone, last seen walking toward Interstate 5.

A fifth victim, a man, died in the early morning hours Saturday as police finished sweeping the 434,000-square-foot building.

“There are people waking up this morning and their world has changed forever. The city of Burlington has probably changed forever, but I don’t think our way of life needs to change,” Burlington Mayor Steve Sexton said Saturday at a news conference. “This was a senseless act. It was the world knocking on our doorstep, and it came into our little community.”

As the small city absorbed the news,

critical questions remained, including the identity of the shooter, his motive and his whereabouts. A massive manhunt continued and police broadcast a plea for tips. The FBI said terrorism was not suspected.

The gunman was described by witnesses to police as a young Hispanic man dressed in black. Surveillance video captured him entering the mall unarmed and then recorded him about 10 minutes later entering the Macy’s with a “hunting type” rifle in his hand, Mount Vernon police Lt. Chris Cammock said.

Authorities did not say how the suspect may have obtained the weapon – whether he retrieved it from outside or picked it up in the mall – but they believe he acted alone. The weapon was recovered at the scene.

The identities of the victims – four women who ranged in age from a teenager to a senior citizen – were withheld pending autopsies and notification of family. The identity of the man who was fatally shot was also withheld and may not be released until Monday.

“Probably one of the most difficult moments for us last night was knowing that there were family members wondering about their loved ones in there,” Cammock said.

As police scrambled to find the shooter, the small city about 60 miles (97 kilometers) north of Seattle settled into a new and nerve-wracking reality.

The community of 8,600 people is too far from Seattle to be a commuter town, but its population swells to 55,000 during the day because of a popular outlet mall, retail stores and other businesses. Burlington is the only major retail center within 30 miles (48 kilometers) in a region where agriculture is king, said Linda Jones, president of the Burlington Chamber of Commerce.

Surrounding Skagit County has deep agricultural roots and is home to families that have worked the land for generations.

Residents, rattled by the fact that the shooter was still on the loose, relied on those bonds Saturday to comfort each other at a community gathering in a city park.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Charlotte police released dramatic video Saturday that shows officers with guns drawn surrounding a black man with his hands at his side before shots are fired and he buckles and falls. It’s unclear whether there was anything in the man’s hands in the footage, which has done little to assuage his relatives.

The footage of the fatal police shooting of Keith Lamont Scott was released amid days of protests, including an outpouring by hundreds earlier Saturday, which coalesced around demands for the public to see the video. Police said Scott had a gun, though residents have said he was unarmed.

In the dashboard camera video released Saturday night, Scott could be seen slowly backing away from his SUV with his hands down, and it’s not apparent if he’s holding anything. Four shots are heard, and he falls to the ground.

Police also released photos of a handgun from the scene, saying it was loaded and contained Scott’s DNA and fingerprints. They also said Scott had marijuana.

The dashboard camera footage starts with a police car pulling up as two officers point their guns at Scott, who is inside the SUV with the doors closed and windows

know about him is that he was an American citizen who deserved better,” he added.

Before releasing the footage, Chief Kerr Putney said at a news conference that he received assurances from the State Bureau of Investigation that making it public wouldn’t impact the state’s independent probe of the shooting.

Asked whether he expected the footage to calm protesters, Putney responded: “The footage itself will not create in anyone’s mind absolute certainty as to what this case represents and what the outcome should be. The footage only supports all of the other information” such as physical evidence and statements from witnesses and officers.

Putney said that his officers didn’t break the law but noted the state investigation continues.

“Officers are absolutely not being charged by me at this point, but again, there’s another investigation ongoing,” he said.

Putney said that Scott was “absolutely in possession of a handgun.”

A police narrative released along with the video gives the most complete account yet of what brought Scott to police attention.

Two plainclothes officers in an unmarked vehicle were preparing to serve a warrant on someone else when Scott pulled up and parked next to them, according to the document.

Black history finds home on National Mall

By JESSE J. HOLLAND and DARLENE SUPERVILLE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Black history officially has a new, prominent place in America’s story.

With hugs, tears and the ringing of church bells, the new Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture opened its doors Saturday to help this nation understand, reconcile and celebrate African-Americans’ often-ignored contributions toward making this country what it is today.

President Barack Obama, the nation’s first black president, wiped away a tear as he formally opened the Smithsonian’s 19th museum with an impassioned 31-minute speech on the National Mall. His audience included two former presidents, leaders from all branches of the federal government, and first lady Michelle Obama, whose lineage has been traced back to slaves in the South.

She, too, shed a tear as her husband spoke.

Obama noted one artifact in the museum: a stone marker from a slave block where Andrew Jackson and Henry Clay spoke in 1830. This item, Obama said,

President Barack Obama walks into the Grand Foyer with Lonnie Bunch, director of the Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture, and first lady Michelle Obama, to speak Friday at a reception for the museum opening at the White House in Washington. chronicles not just the fact that two powerful men spoke, but also that multitudes of slaves were “bought and sold, and bid like cattle.”

“This national museum helps to tell a richer and fuller story of who we are,” Obama said. “It helps us better understand the lives, yes, of the president, but also the slave. The industrialist, but also the porter; the keeper of the status quo, but also of the activist seeking to overthrow that status quo; the teacher or the cook, alongside the statesman. And by

knowing this other story, we better understand ourselves and each other.”

Ground for the $540 million museum was broken in 2012 on a five-acre tract near the Washington Monument, and construction was completed earlier this year. Millions of donors, known and unknown, contributed $315 million in private funds ahead of the opening.

“It’s like walking across the desert and finally getting to a fountain of water to quench your thirst. It’s absolutely breathtaking for me,” said Verna

Eggleston, 61, of New York City.

The names of some big donors are on prominent spaces inside: the Oprah Winfrey Theater; the Michael Jordan Hall: Game Changers; and the Robert F. Smith Explore Your Family History Center, named for the CEO of investment firm Vista Equity Partners after a $20 million gift announced Monday.

With exhibits ranging from the glasstopped casket used to bury lynching victim Emmett Till to a fedora owned by late pop superstar Michael Jackson, the museum helps to complete the American tale by incorporating highs and lows, triumph and trauma experienced by black Americans since the first African slaves arrived on this continent almost 400 years ago.

“We’re not a burden on America, or a stain on America, or an object of pity or charity for America. We’re America,” Obama said. “And that’s what this museum explains, the fact that our stories have shaped every corner of our culture.”

Obama was joined on stage by his predecessor, former President George W. Bush, who in 2003 signed legislation establishing the museum, and John Lewis, a veteran civil rights activist and longtime Democratic congressman from Georgia who co-sponsored the bill.

By DESMOND BUTLER and LORI HINNANT The Associated Press WASHINGTON – War crimes investigators collecting evidence of the Islamic State group’s elaborate operation to kidnap thousands of women as sex slaves said they have a case to try IS leaders with crimes against humanity but cannot get the global backing to bring current detainees before an international tribunal.

Two years after the IS group’s onslaught in northern Iraq, the investigators, as well as U.S. diplomats, said the Obama administration has done little to pursue prosecution of the crimes that Secretary of State John Kerry has called genocide. Current and former State Department officials said that an attempt in late 2014 to have a legal finding of genocide was blocked by the Defense Department, setting back efforts to prosecute IS members suspected of committing war crimes.

“The West looks to the United States for leadership in the Middle East, and the focus of this administration has been elsewhere – in every respect,” Bill Wiley, the head of the independent investigative group, the Commission for International Justice and Accountability, told The Associated Press.

Officials in Washington said that the Defense Department and ultimately the administration were concerned that court trials would distract from the military campaign. But the diplomats said that justice is essential in a region whose religious minorities have been terrorized. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the is-

sue.

The U.S. has no legal obligation to take on the genocide of the Yazidis, but President Barack Obama has said that “preventing mass atrocities and genocide is a core national security interest and a core moral responsibility of the United States of America.”

Stephen Rapp, who stepped down as the administration’s ambassador at large for war crimes last year, said the administration should have moved early to help secure evidence of IS atrocities and push for the creation of special Iraqi courts to try war crimes.

“The priority for the U.S. government is to win the war against the Islamic State and destroy them,” Rapp said. “It’s been profoundly disappointing, because the idea of accountability has been such a low priority.”

Rapp is now the chairman of the advisory board of the commission, whose investigators in Iraq work with the Kurdish regional government to formally document the IS crimes, including those against the Yazidi minority group. They have built a case implicating the entire IS command structure in a plot to kidnap Yazidi women and girls and establish a sex-slave market.

The plan was executed by an organized bureaucracy, from the temporary sorting facilities – including a prison, schools and a curtained ballroom where the Yazidis were divided by age and willingness to convert to Islam – to the waiting buses that would haul them by the dozens across the border to Raqqa.

The Islamic State group’s Shariah courts soon stepped in, to settle contract disputes and ensure that its finance hierarchy got its cut of the sexslave proceeds.

ANOTHER VIEW

A new light on the Mall

The most important thing about the new museum that opens Saturday in our city is not its bold architecture or the quality of its visual and aural exhibits or even the lessons it might seek to convey now and in coming years. The most important thing is simply it’s here, at last, in the heart of the nation’s capital. One hundred and fifty years after the beginning of a hopeful national Reconstruction that was soon crushed to Earth, a new structure stands on the Mall at the symbolic center of our country’s history: the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

In years to come, millions of Americans will visit this museum. They will be appalled by its presentation of the horrors of slavery; by the concrete, tangible evidence of state-sanctioned repression and the indignities that accompanied it; and by the illegal and atrocious acts of violence that persisted for a century after Emancipation. But they also will see and hear a story of accomplishment in the face of adversity and of resistance to injustices that were either inflicted or ignored by far too many Americans. There will be displays of brilliance, beauty, artistic achievement, military courage, religious devotion and just plain everyday life – a new light being shone on the story of people who long were neglected or disregarded.

Some critics who have seen the museum’s collections and exhibits have suggested the picture presented is still too bright, given how much remains to be done to match American society to its stated ideals.

But there is great power in what one will see at this museum, along with cause for hope. It is a truly national project, costing more than a half-billion dollars and funded in about equal measure by the federal government and private institutions and donors. As the museum’s director, Lonnie Bunch III, put it in an interview with DeNeen Brown of The Post: “I want people to realize, this is who we are as Americans. I’m not creating an African-American museum just for African-Americans.”

Not far to the west of the museum stand the memorials to Abraham Lincoln and to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.; to the south and east, across the Anacostia River, is the home of former slave Frederick Douglass, who once said this: “In a composite nation like ours, as before the law, there should be no rich, no poor, no high, no low, no white, no black, but common country, common citizenship, equal rights and a common destiny.”

This new building will have served its purpose if it becomes a place for all the people who make up this composite nation to meet and to learn – to gain a better understanding of our past and to get to know one another a little better.

The Washington Post

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Immigration nothing like rhetoric Sometimes the best response to overheated political rhetoric is one of those dull if worthy white papers issued with alarming regularity by Washington think tanks and research organizations. So it is with a report on immigration, which is a useful corrective to Donald Trump’s statements on the subject.

The Pew Research Center’s report, released this week, confirms the findings of previous reports: The number of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. peaked in 2007 before dropping sharply – with more undocumented Mexicans, in particular, leaving the U.S. than entering.

Net illegal immigration is flat, and has been for several years.

Contrary to Trump’s claims, undocumented immigrants are not “pouring across our borders unabated” before going on to commit “great amounts of crime.”

That Donald Trump lacks credibility no longer qualifies as news.

More interesting are the implications of this report for his immigration policy.

First, the U.S. border with Mexico is not being overrun.

So an elaborate, expensive wall is entirely unnecessary.

Second, most undocumented immigrants in the U.S. – about two-thirds – have been in the country for more than a decade.

Pew estimates that, as of 2012, 4 million of them lived with their U.S.-citizen children.

Another study released this

week – this one by the Center for American Progress, a think tank allied with Hillary Clinton’s campaign – found expelling the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants would cost the federal government almost $900 billion in lost revenue over a decade while reducing the nation’s gross domestic product by $4.7 trillion.

Those losses would be in addition to the costs of deportation.

The Pew data lead to the same conclusion that a bipartisan supermajority of U.S. senators reached in 2013: The settled, stable undocumented immigrants in the U.S. need a path to legalization and, eventually, citizenship.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Bloomberg View

VIEWS Jonathan Bernstein doing more to promote themselves than to promote their candidate.

At best, the direct effects are really small.

On the other hand, it’s not as if very many people are going to switch away from Clinton because actor Clark Gregg likes her, or away from Trump because reality star Omarosa supports him. So it’s unlikely any of this does any harm to the candidates.

And collectively, it’s probably true these sorts of things are real cues to voters who aren’t particularly interested in politics that, hey, there’s an election coming! For some of us, the election has been going on

forever and we’re counting down the days until it finally ends – but for many other Americans, politics is sort of a droning background noise most of the time, and they only really pay attention in the last few weeks of the campaign.

That might be more helpful now than it was in the old, pre-internet days of three broadcast networks and a public television station. Back in the 1960s and 1970s, it was harder to be isolated from big political news. So it’s not that any one particular ad does much, but collectively these things do eventually remind people that it’s time to pay attention.

My real defense of celebrity participation in politics, however, is that even if it has no effect at all it’s still good, healthy fun.

In particular, over the last two or three decades the U.S. has become a nation with more patriotic ritu-

als that evoke its military (such as flyovers at sports events) rather than those which are centered in democracy as the core of the nation.

With all due respect to the military, this should dismay us. The U.S. should be proud of its democracy, and that means (among other things) celebrating elections, which are symbolically (and to some extent substantively, although that’s more complicated) the central action of a mass democracy.

Which seems to be what Whedon’s celebrity-studded video is all about: registering to vote and voting. I’ll choose to interpret the celebrities’ message not as the elitism of famous people, but as one of participation for everyone. And that’s worth celebrating.

Kenneally has experience, good judgment

To the Editor: I wholeheartedly endorse Patrick Kenneally for McHenry County state’s attorney. The state’s attorney has the difficult job of exercising discretion and deciding whom to charge with what and what an appropriate disposition is. Prosecutorial experience and judgment matter. Mr. Kenneally has both.

I have read his proposals should he be elected. He sees the need to differentiate between dangerous criminals and those non-violent individuals in need of less expensive punishment who would benefit from strict rehabilitative programs. He also is proposing reducing the budget of the office together with a clever initiative to be “greener.”

He is a Republican candidate in the finest traditions of that party. Please vote for

Patrick Kenneally on Nov. 8.

Libraries benefit young families

To the Editor: I grew up in Crystal Lake and have enjoyed great schools, great parks and a terrific library. Now I am now married with a young daughter, and I want her to enjoy the same luxuries. Our current library is worn and inefficient, sadly becoming inadequate in spite of the board’s and staff’s best efforts. We need a 21st century facility to address the current challenges and the numerous maintenance issues and inadequacies. We need more space, more programs and better access to the building, including a drive-up book return.

Libraries serve everyone in a community, but young families like mine particularly are interested in services for young children. This new library will serve our family for generations. Join me in voting yes for the new library Nov. 8.

Franks serves Chicago elite

To the Editor: Jack Franks is a super-delegate for Hillary Clinton who attracts rich Chicago and Cook County lawyers and politicians to fund his McHenry County race. A career politician who claimed he would retain his representative seat against a popular opponent,

Franks cannot solicit enough cash from his actual constituents to sustain his expensive and extravagant campaign.

A $1,000 (minimum) per plate fundraiser Sept. 7 in Oak Brook should sound off alarms. Who will Jack Franks represent as McHenry County chairman? McHenry County residents who cannot afford his luxurious fundraisers nor donate to his campaign? No. Jack Franks will succumb even further to the Chicago political machine and the corruption, cronyism and fraud that are synonymous to that type of campaign fundraising.

Michael Walkup is not bought and paid for by the rich, Chicago elite. Walkup understands his middle class constituents and will best represent us as County Chair.

SUNDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Expect the unexpected and be prepared to make a move without waffling. The longer you procrastinate this year, the more difficult it will be to bring about the change necessary to achieve the happiness and peace that you deserve. Speak up and make your move.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Refuse to let professional matters interfere with your personal life. Love and affection will help you maintain a good relationship with the important people in your life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Someone who wants to make you look bad will scrutinize your

words or actions. Choose your words wisely, and work secretively until you feel that you can overcome anyone likely to challenge you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You’ll get what you want if you are willing to work hard. A financial gain is apparent, and negotiations will favor you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Refuse to let an emotionally charged situation come between you and the goals you have set for yourself. Live up to your expectations and forget about what others say or do.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Weigh what’s most important to you and stick to your plan to ensure that you reach your destination safe and sound. Careless spending or trying to buy love

will add to your stress.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Stress will be high if you or someone close to you isn’t being honest or open. You cannot fix a problem if you don’t admit that one exists.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You can bring about change if you take part in something you believe in. Don’t expect a loved one to agree with your actions. Say little and keep the peace.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Look over your assets and liabilities and consider what needs to be done in order to ease financial stress. Don’t let anger take control when common sense and practicality are the answer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Take pride in your profession and check out events and activities

that will help you make positive changes to your appearance and what you have to offer.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Force isn’t likely to work at home or in situations that involve people who don’t share your opinions. However, reverse psychology and kind gestures will encourage compromise.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Emotions will be close to the surface. Ask questions and find out where you stand. A day trip can turn into a romantic adventure if you keep an open mind.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Help others and reap the rewards you deserve. Don’t give in to someone trying to put a damper on your plans to make a difference in your community or aid those in dire need.

General Mills tweaks big-brand products Company promises more cinnamon, protein

By CANDICE CHOI The Associated Press NEW YORK – Sprinkle more cinnamon on Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, switch to antibiotic-free chicken for Progresso soups, pump up the protein in Yoplait yogurts. Those are some of the tactics General Mills is hoping can keep people interested in its stable of products.

Like other major food companies, General Mills is struggling to navigate

fickle American tastes and increasing competition, with its core U.S. retail sales down 5 percent in the most recent quarter. While names like Cheerios, Yoplait and Progresso remain hugely popular, the Minneapolis-based company is trying to fend off smaller players promising something newer or more wholesome.

The food industry has become more “entrepreneurial,” General Mills CEO Ken Powell said in an interview, with an increase in the number of smaller brands vying for customers. But he said General Mills is paying close attention to the “shifting values” of customers, and making sure it’s giving

people what they want.

“These changes in attitude are not elusive,” he said.

The tweaks major packaged food companies are making vary in their success.

Last year, General Mills swapped out the aspartame in Yoplait Light for the sweetener widely known as Splenda. The company said Wednesday the change did not help or hurt. But the U.S. yogurt sales were down 15 percent in the quarter.

Looking ahead, General Mills said it plans to add more protein to its Yoplait Greek 100, since people are increasingly looking for foods that will keep them

fuller for longer. In a note to investors, RBC Capital Markets analyst David Palmer said he expects new product news and marketing to minimize the company’s yogurt declines throughout the year.

Other changes by General Mills have been more successful. As sales of gluten-free products have surged, the company started marketing some of its Cheerios varieties as gluten-free. Oats naturally do not have gluten, but General Mills said it ensured that its manufacturing process is not contaminated by gluten.

General Mills said that its sales fell in the latest quarter as its yogurts, cereals and soups suffered declines in the United States.

FINANCE Mike Piershale fill out, can’t be located by most people, even though their IRA is often their largest asset.

Don’t assume that the IRA custodian will have an updated copy.

There’s a good chance they won’t.

Think of all the mergers in the past five or 10 years with brokerage firms and banks. Remember when Morgan Stanley merged with Smith Barney? Remember when Bank of America absorbed Merrill Lynch?

Often, when two financial institutions merge, moving the beneficiary information over to the new firm is not a top priority. There have been a number of cases after mergers where the new beneficiary forms were left blank.

If you have no beneficiary listed, then it gets paid to your estate. This causes two major problems. First, in most states, if the IRA is worth $100,000 or more, it will end up going through probate, which can trigger unnecessary probate fees as high as 6 percent. For example, if you had a $300,000 IRA, this could cost your spouse or kids $18,000 just because you didn’t have a name on the form.

Second, the beneficiary will lose the opportunity to do the stretch IRA, which allows them to take out very small taxable distributions based on their life expectancy.

Instead, the beneficiaries must pull out much larger amounts over a much shorter period of time, triggering large unnecessary tax losses.

For example, let’s say that a surviving spouse discovered that their 60-year-old recently deceased spouse left the beneficiary form blank. The surviving spouse would now need to hire an attorney to take the IRA through probate, and he

or she would need to pull all of the money out of the IRA by the end of the year of the deceased spouse’s 5th anniversary of death. This would dramatically increase the size of required taxable distributions and cost the surviving spouse a bundle in extra taxes.

The moral of the story is to make sure you have named beneficiaries on your beneficiary forms and keep copies.

This is so easy to do while you’re alive. Don’t let your heirs be shocked at finding blank beneficiary forms on your IRAs, or worse, not being able to locate the forms at all!

Remember, it’s easier to avoid a mistake than it is to fix one!

IRAs are tax-deferred retirement plans that should come with a warning label – “Caution, handle with extreme care” – because certain missteps can cause the whole thing to go through probate and trigger unnecessary taxes.

The estate planning document for an IRA is called a beneficiary form.

This form trumps all of your other estate planning documents. This means the IRA passes according to the beneficiary form, not your will or trust. It’s very important that this form is filled out properly and you should be able to locate it on short notice.

Let me ask you a question: Can you go home right now, and find all of your beneficiary forms for all of your IRAs? For most people, the answer is “no.”

You can find all your legal documents, which cost you a lot of money to create, including your will, trust, and other estate planning documents. But this free IRA beneficiary form, which doesn’t cost a dime to

Did salesman really sell Dave three timeshares?

Dear Dave: My wife and I recently sat through a timeshare pitch at my mom and dad’s community as a favor to them. We’re trying to get out of debt and take control of our money, so when the salesman said we could put the whole thing on a credit card, I told him about you and your plan. He then said that he used to be your personal financial advisor and had sold you three timeshares in the past. Is this true, or are timeshares a bad idea? –

Jeremy Dear Jeremy: A timeshare salesman

said he had been my personal financial advisor? Wow! It takes real guts, and a bunch of dishonest nerve, to spread that kind of crap around. No, I’ve never in my life owned a timeshare. I’ve made just about every financial mistake known to man, except that one. I’ve also never made the mis-

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey take of having a timeshare salesman as my financial advisor. This sounds like the kind of guy who you know is lying if his lips are moving!

I’m really sorry if your mom and dad already hooked up with this bunch. Timeshares, even with honest salespeople, are just straight-up stupid. Never buy a timeshare! The customer dissatisfaction rate with those things is sky-high, and you’re pretty much stuck once you buy one. They’re almost impossible to sell, because you don’t really own anything.

For the money you spend to buy a

timeshare, you could take several nice vacations and stay in some pretty decent places. People get suckered in to these things all the time, Jeremy, but it’s a really bad idea. Don’t do it!

Dear Dave: Why do you recommend that newlyweds not buy a house during the first year of marriage? –

Laura Dear Laura: Believe it or not, the

first year of marriage is pretty tough.

You’ll both have to make lots of adjustments and get used to the new schedules and habits, likes and dislikes, that go along with marriage. You need to spend that first year getting to know each other even better, and exploring and developing your relationship as husband and wife. Running out and buying stuff like curtains and furniture – or making major life decisions like buying a house – can wait.

Devote the first year to deeper, more important things. In the process, make sure you’re on the same page emotionally and financially. Develop a plan to make your hopes and dreams come true, and start piling up a bunch of cash for the future. Then, a year or two down the road, you can start the house-hunting process. There will still be great homes at good prices, plus you’ll both have a better idea of what you want for the future!

General Mills, the maker of Yoplait yogurt, Cheerios and Progresso soups, said it was making a number of tweaks to its products to improve sales results for the remainder of its fiscal year.

• TWEAKS Continued from page 29 Keeping people interested in products isn’t always about jumping on health trends. Jeff Harmening, General Mills’ president and chief operating officer, noted that what people want varies depending on the product. For Cinnamon Toast Crunch, he noted that sales rose after the company added more cinnamon. And for

Cocoa Puffs, Harmening said sales were up 20 percent in the most recent quarter after the company made them “more chocolatey.”

Still, General Mills’ overall U.S. cereal sales were down 4 percent for the three months ended Aug. 28.

Sales in its U.S. meals segment were down 19 percent, with Progresso soup suffering declines. To win back customers, General Mills said it is in the process of switching to chicken raised without antibiotics

for the soups.

The company’s competitors are also tweaking their lineups. PepsiCo Inc. recently announced an organic version of its neon-colored Gatorade drinks. And Kellogg Co. is trying to shake Special K’s image as a diet food, and reposition it as a nourishing option with ingredients like quinoa.

For its fiscal first quarter, General Mills said Wednesday that total sales declined 7 percent to $3.91 billion and

cited the “challenging macro environment” for failing to meet its own expectations. After adjusting for the impact of foreign exchange rates and divestitures, the company said sales were down 4 percent in the quarter.

General Mills earned $409 million, or 67 cents per share, for the period as cost cutting helped boost results.

After adjusting for restructuring and non-recurring costs, earnings were 78 cents per share. That was 2 cents better than Wall Street expected.

Woman in modest housing discourages dropping by Dear Abby: I lost my longtime job but have remained in contact with a few former co-workers, meeting for an occasional lunch or dinner. One woman in particular has been pushing to meet at my place. Abby, I’m not proud of where I live now, and I don’t want to have to explain this to her.

So far, I have side-stepped by saying I prefer to get out of the house, but I’m worried one day she will announce she’s “in my neighborhood” and ask to drop by. I’m really uncomfortable with that, but I don’t know an appropriate response that will keep our relationship cordial, because I do value the times we see each other. Any suggestions? – Downscale In Delaware Dear Downscale: There are various

excuses you can use if she wants to drop by. Your place “might not be present-

Dear Abby: My wife and I were sitting in a restaurant one night. A woman, her boyfriend and two children were at the table next to us. The boyfriend loudly was verbally abusing the children (5 to 8 years old) for not eating “the food he had paid for.” It was truly abuse – his language was awful – and

it lasted for 20 to 30 minutes. I wasn’t concerned about it ruining our night out, but rather what this guy must be like in private with those kids and that woman. Should I have called the police? Would it have made it worse? –

BOYS SOCCER: HARVARD 3, JOHNSBURG 1

Key victory for Hornets Skyhawks lose for first time in KRC play

By JOHN WILKINSON jwilkinson@shawmedia.com JOHNSBURG – “Comebacks make good stories, people,” Johnsburg boys soccer coach Rob Eastland yelled to his team as they took the field for the second half Saturday, trailing Harvard by two goals.

The Skyhawks came out of the break trying to shake Harvard’s confidence and succeeded briefly, but as the game opened up and Johnsburg had to press for a tying goal, Harvard was able to regain control, deny the Skyhawks their comeback and put away its biggest win of the season to date.

The Hornets held off Johnsburg for a 3-1 Kishwaukee River Conference victory Saturday at Johnsburg, getting goals from Alonzo Carrillo, Gabriel Popoca and Alfredo Pichardo.

“We knew that they were going to come out hard to try to get at least one to get them back in the game, so we had to be ready for it,” Harvard coach Victor Gonzalez said. “I felt they responded well. That’s how they play – they show heart and they play hard.”

The Hornets (9-0-1, 6-0) are in sole possession of first place in the KRC after handing the Skyhawks (8-7, 6-1) their first conference loss.

The Hornets dominated possession in the first half, but the Johnsburg defense kept them at bay. In the 28th minute, however, the visitors finally broke through.

With 12:30 left in the first half, Ismael Albarran fired a long-range shot at Johnsburg goalkeeper Nick Craun, who made the save but let the rebound get just far enough away for Carrillo to pounce.

Three minutes later, Popoca drove a left-footed shot from more than 20 yards out past Craun, giving the Hornets a 2-0 lead at the break.

Johnsburg came out flying to begin the second half and, coupled with a slow

He showed up in dress clothes a few minutes into the first half but ended up making a big impact, scoring the Hornets’ third goal. start by the Hornets, got itself back into the game.

“They were pressing hard up top,” Harvard defensive captain Joel Juarez said. “They had two forwards and we came out pretty slow in the second half and they got that goal.”

Five minutes into the second half, Dean Wiersum went up at the near post to challenge Harvard goalkeeper Jesse Oros for a corner kick. Oros couldn’t

catch the cross, and when it dropped, Wiersum turned and put it into the net.

Suddenly, the Skyhawks had life.

Two minutes later, Wiersum put the ball in the net again but was whistled offside.

“The (halftime) team talk was really more based around just come out and give it a go, and I think the boys really responded well,” Eastland said. “To be honest with you, all the goals Harvard scored in that game were great goals.

You can’t blame your team. You just congratulate the other team.”

With 19:24 left, Carillo found Pichardo at the top of the box. Pichardo cut past a defender and finished with his left foot to make it 3-1.

“Me and Alonzo, we’ve played together for like forever already, so we know where everything’s going to be,” Pichardo said. “I just felt like he saw me, and he gave me that through ball, and I was there and I finished it.”

Johnsburg had one more good look at goal in the final 15 minutes, but Harvard was able to hold on.

“I felt we controlled [the first half] well,” Gonzalez said. “I challenged them to try to control the second half, and they got a goal there. We came out a little flat the second half, and as the game wore on, then we started controlling it better.”

Oros finished with four saves for Harvard. Craun made six saves.

Bears at Dallas Cowboys: What to watch for HOW TO WATCH/LISTEN

7:30 p.m. kickoff on NBC (Al Michaels, Cris Collinsworth, Michelle Tafoya) and WBBM Radio 780 AM and 105.9 FM (Jeff Joniak, Tom Thayer, Zach Zaidman) KEY MATCHUP TO WATCH

Bears inside linebacker Jerrell Freeman vs. Cowboys running back Jerrell Freeman – These two figure to meet on several occasions Sunday night. Freeman leads the Bears with 22 tackles and four behind the line of scrimmage, showing his instincts and ability to fly to the ball in the first two games. Elliott, the No. 4 overall pick, isn’t off to a scintillating start to his NFL career with a 3.3-yard rushing average, but the Bears – who studied Elliott before the draft

– know how effective he can be with his size and speed. Freeman will be without his inside linebacker mate Danny Trevathan and the nose tackle that helps create a gap for Freeman to shoot, Eddie Goldman.

That’s going to put more pressure on the Bears’ top tackler to use his instincts and sure tackling to keep Elliott in check. Yes, Dak Prescott has been efficient and he has a top-flight receiver in Dez Bryant, but he’s still a fourth-round rookie who is due to turn it over. If the Bears let Elliott get big gains on early downs, that’ll just make things easier for Prescott and give the Cowboys’ young quarterback more confidence. Elliott runs behind a fantastic offensive line, so Freeman will have to be smart when he shoots the gap and hope

to get help from Akiem Hicks. Stopping Elliott is key, and Freeman will be leading the efforts.

X-FACTOR

Running back Jeremy Langford – Don’t forget about Langford just because Jordan Howard showed a spark with his 22 yards on three carries Monday night. Langford is still the lead back, and when the Bears focus on running the ball, it will start with him. Langford will have opportunities to get going against this Cowboys defense, and the Bears’ O-line should be better than it was against Philadelphia, especially Kyle Long, who was openly disappointed in his effort. The Bears also should look to get the screen game going, and that’s where

Langford is more effective than Howard.

Both backs should be used often, but if Langford can break tackles and help the Bears’ offense stay on the field for longer drives – a huge issue through two weeks – it can be a big boost to an undermanned defense.

STAT TO KEEP IN MIND

The third quarter has been an issue for the Bears’ offense. They have 99 yards in the third quarter in two games, second-lowest in the NFL, and zero points.

FISHBAIN’S PICK

Cowboys 23, Bears 17 – Kevin Fishbain kfishbain@profootballweekly.com

• Sunday, September 25, 2016

LAKE FOREST – Bears fans really need to stop acting as if this is Chuck Noll’s Steelers or Jimmy Johnson’s Cowboys the Bears will be facing Sunday night in Dallas.

The Cowboys team the Bears will face in the palace Jerry built is a mediocre football team that also lost its home opener BEARS to another INSIDER average NFC “Least” team Hub and had to Arkush come back late to beat a dysfunctional Washington team.

Are the Cowboys more talented than this incredibly depleted Bears team? On offense, they are; on defense, they are not.

But let’s start with Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. He has been impressive to date with his poise and ability to avoid bonehead rookie mistakes. Surprisingly, he has not yet demonstrated his great athletic ability and knack for creating plays on the ground, so beware there.

But at the end of the day, his key numbers – 62.7 percent completion percentage, 6.9 average yards a pass, no touchdowns, 0 INTs and an 83.1 passer rating – are really good for a rookie starting his first two games in the league, but really mediocre for an NFL starting quarterback.

He’s a guy you can beat.

Rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott should scare the heck out of you, but, again, through two games, he’s averaging 3.3 yards on 41 carries with two TDs and two costly fumbles to match.

As a team, the Cowboys are averaging 30 carries a game and 3.4 a carry because their NFL-best offensive line has been average – weak in the open-

6 CARDINALS 10, CUBS 4

Cards split season series against Cubs

By PAUL LADEWSKI

CARDINALS 10, CUBS 4

The Associated Press CHICAGO – With Saturday’s 10-4 rout of the Cubs, the St. Louis Cardinals have split 18 games this year against the best team in the major leagues.

If the Cardinals reach the playoffs and win the wild-card game, they would return to Wrigley Field for the start of the NL Division Series.

“They’re very good offensively.

They can match up out of the bullpen,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “They have a lot of veterans on the team, guys who have been there, done that. They’re very formidable, I think.”

Yadier Molina drove in four runs and Stephen Piscotty homered as the Cardinals got to Jason Hammel early. Randal Grichuk added three RBIs and Jhonny Peralta had three hits and scored three runs for the Cardinals.

“The records and all that don’t mean that much,” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. “We’ve got a whole lot of fighting left to do.”

Hammel (15-10) allowed six runs and six hits while getting only seven outs, hurting his bid for a postseason rotation spot. A day after clinching the NL’s best record, the Cubs were denied their 99th win and a record 57th at Wrigley Field.

Dexter Fowler finished a home run shy of the cycle, Ben Zobrist had a two-run triple and Willson Contreras homered in the ninth for the Cubs, who are 3-6 at home against St. Louis and 53-17 against other teams.

“They’re obviously the best team in the league,” Molina said. “We respect that. But at the same time, we come here thinking about winning.”

Alex Reyes (4-1) needed 115 pitches to get through five innings. But the rookie settled down after a tough start and allowed three runs and six hits with six strikeouts.

Hammel’s solid previous outing renewed talk he could supplant John Lackey as the No. 4 playoff starter.

But the right-hander saw his ERA rise from 3.56 to 3.83 after Maddon’s early hook.

Molina had a two-run double and Grichuk a two-run single in the first.

An inning later, Piscotty crushed Hammel’s slider 450 feet onto Waveland Avenue for a solo homer. Hammel was lifted after giving up two

Molina added a two-run single for his third hit in a three-run seventh against Hector Rondon. Piscotty’s third hit in the eighth off Rob Zastryzny scored another run.

Reyes had his 111/3-inning scoreless streak snapped in the Cubs’ two-run first, and Fowler’s RBI double an inning later made it 5-3. But Reyes allowed only two hits over his final three innings.

“When you have 71 pitches after three (innings), you typically got a lot more on you than the three runs they had,” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. “He just did a nice job of managing the innings.”

Maddon cleared his bench in the late innings as the Cubs’ four-game winning streak ended. The Cubs fell to 9-9 against St. Louis.

“They would be very tough,” Maddon said of a potential playoff matchup. “They’re very good offensively.

They can match up out of the bullpen.

They do a lot of things.”

CLEVELAND – The Indians had plenty of chances. They blew every one.

With an opportunity to trim its magic number for winning the AL Central to one, Cleveland played sloppily Saturday night and lost, 8-1, to the White Sox, leaving the title – and a playoff berth – just out of reach.

The Indians squandered early scoring chances against Jose Quintana (13-11) and disappointed a crowd of 32,088 fans who came hoping to see them move closer to the postseason.

“We had some really good chances early, and didn’t do much with it,” Indians manager Terry Francona said.

“And with a good pitcher like Quintana, he found himself.”

Cleveland’s magic number dropped to two after Detroit lost earlier to Kansas City. The Indians could have trimmed it further, and had a chance to clinch the title Sunday in their regular-season home finale. However, they’ll now need to win and get some more help from the Royals to wrap up their first division title since 2007 in front of their fans.

Melky Cabrera and Jose Abreu hit RBI singles in the first off Cody Anderson (2-5), and Todd Frazier connected for his 39th homer in the sixth as the Sox snapped a six-game losing streak.

Quintana (13-11) gave up one run in six innings and beat Cleveland for the second time in 11 days. The Indians, who committed three errors, threw two wild pitches and had a passed ball, had Quintana on the ropes in the first two innings, but managed only one run.

“We had his pitch count up a lot early but we managed one (run),” Francona said. “We let him off the hook.”

With his rotation in disarray because of injuries, Indians manager Francona started Anderson and used seven relievers – hardly an ideal situation for a team trying to lock down a postseason berth.

The Indians, however, wasted the early opportunities against Quintana – he threw 53 pitches in the first two innings – and the left-hander got better as the game progressed.

“It was rough,” Sox manager Robin Ventura said of Quintana’s first two innings. “Locating-wise was probably the biggest thing. You really didn’t

Sean King for Shaw Media

Western Illinois defensive back David Griffith waves his arms in celebration as his team takes over on downs after Northern Illinois failed to score on an incomplete pass to tight end Shane Wimann (right) late in the fourth quarter Saturday at Huskie Stadium in DeKalb.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: W. ILLINOIS 28, N. ILLINOIS 23

Winless Huskies fall to FCS Leathernecks

By JESSE SEVERSON jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – A disappointing nonconference schedule came to a disappointing end for the Northern Illinois football team.

Four weeks into the season, the Huskies are winless after falling, 28-23, to instate FCS foe Western Illinois on Saturday afternoon at Huskie Stadium.

The Huskies had the ball on the Western Illinois 9-yard line but turned it over on downs in the final minute.

“They deserve to win,” NIU coach Rod Carey said of the Leathernecks.

“They made one or two more plays than we did, and we got off to a horrendous start – again. That bled into the second half this time, and by the time we did get going, we didn’t have enough time to complete the comeback, even though we were down there twice.”

It’s the first loss for the Huskies (0-4) against an FCS school since 2007, when they lost, 34-31, to Southern Illinois, snapping a seven-game winning streak over FCS schools. Although the Huskies have lost seven games in a row dating to last season, Carey brushed aside a question about his job security in the postgame news conference.

For the Leathernecks, who came in ranked No. 13 in the FCS coaches’ poll, it is the first win over an FBS school in 15 tries.

“We saw teams in our conference do it – North Dakota State beat Iowa – and we said, ‘Why not us?’” WIU receiver

Joey Borsellino said.

The WIU players said after the game there was a chip on their shoulders after not being recruited by bigger in-state schools, such as NIU. The Huskies made things interesting in the second half, scoring 16 unanswered points after trailing, 28-7, in the third quarter. The Huskies got the ball back late in the fourth quarter twice with a chance to take the lead. The first drive ended when a keeper by senior quarterback Anthony Maddie came up inches short – turning the ball over on downs at the WIU 19-yard line with a little less than three minutes left.

On the last drive of the game, the Huskies faced fourth-and-3 from the WIU 9-yard line, but Maddie’s pass to tight end Shane Wimann was incomplete.

“Those two fourth-down calls were my calls,” Carey said. “I made them, and they were obviously bad calls. I’ll take that, and I’ll take all this, and we’re not going to flinch. We’re not going to go ahead and do anything but go back to work and get this thing ready, because we have a good football team. We have to learn how to win a football game.”

Maddie, listed as the backup quarterback, took the reins during the Huskies’ comeback and finished 11 for 17 with 142 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 39 yards. Starter Ryan Graham went 14 for 21 with 109 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

NIU junior running back Jordan Huff had nine carries for 130 yards and a touchdown.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – AJ Reed kicked a 19-yard field goal with 84 seconds left, and Duke rallied back from an early two-touchdown deficit to beat Notre Dame, 38-35, Saturday.

Reed had missed all three of his field goal attempts this season before kicking the game winner. Duke coach David Cutcliffe, who opted to go for it on fourthand-1 from the 19 early in the fourth quarter and failed, said he didn’t hesitate to let Reed try the field goal, saying the team had confidence in him.

“That unit there, they believe in him, and he’s got a lot of talent. I know when it came down there at the end – the field goal – there was no doubt in my mind he was going to make it,” he said.

Reed said he knew his teammates were behind him.

“They were all telling me that they had my back and that they knew I was going to get it done for them,” he said.

Daniel Jones threw for three touchdowns, including a 64-yard scoring pass to Anthony Nash midway through the fourth quarter to tie the score, as Duke

With DeVon Edwards out with what likely is a season-ending knee injury suffered on Notre Dame’s first kickoff, Shaun Wilson returned a kickoff 96 yards for a score to spark the Blue Devils (2-2) after they fell behind, 14-0. The Duke defense set up the final touchdown when it sacked DeShone Kizer for a 7-yard loss at the 5-yard line and Deondre Singleton intercepted a pass at the Notre Dame 45.

The Irish defense continued to struggle, giving up 30 or more points against Power Five teams for the seventh time in their last nine games. The student section chanted “Fire VanGorder,” referring to defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder.

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said the coaching of the defense is one of the few areas he wasn’t disappointed in, saying he doesn’t think it was a factor in the outcome. He said Duke was grittier and more determined than the Irish, who opened the season ranked No. 10.

“I told our guys, essentially, that we’re going in the wrong direction.

We’re not going to continue to go in this direction. We’ll have to reevaluate what we’re doing, who we’re doing it with, and how we’re doing it,” he said.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: NO. 20 NEBRASKA 24, NORTHWESTERN 13

Northwestern falls; Fitzgerald seethes

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press EVANSTON – Tommy Armstrong Jr. threw for 246 yards and ran for a career-high 132 to lead No. 20 Nebraska to a 24-13 victory over Northwestern on Saturday night in the Big Ten opener for both teams.

The Cornhuskers (4-0) remained unbeaten coming off a tight win over Oregon that vaulted them into the Associated Press Top 25 for the first time since December 2014.

They lost two fumbles near the Northwestern goal line in the first half, but scored two touchdowns in the third quarter to stretch their lead from three to 11.

“We got two touchdowns early in the game, but there’s no points on the board,” coach Mike Riley said. “So how are you going to react to that? I’m really pleased with our reaction.”

The Wildcats (1-3) matched their loss total from last year when they went 10-3.

Armstrong went 18 of 29, hitting Alonzo Moore with a 59-yarder in the first half and throwing a 4-yard touchdown strike to Cethan Carter that made it 17-7 early in the third after Aaron Williams intercepted Clayton Thorson’s pass in the end zone.

Terrell Newby ran for 69 yards and a touchdown. Moore had 72 yards receiving, and Nebraska finished with 556 yards in all.

Thorson threw for 249 yards and had a 42-yard touchdown run. But he also threw two interceptions and was

sacked four times, bringing his Big Ten-leading total to 15.

Austin Carr had another big game for Northwestern with 109 yards receiving and a touchdown, giving him at least one scoring catch in three straight games. But a team that seemed to be getting on track with last week’s win over Duke after opening with losses to Western Michigan and Illinois State came up short against the resurgent Cornhuskers.

“These guys better figure it out pretty quick,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said.

“They better walk out of the locker room. They better hug whoever they love. They’d better go to bed and they’d better wake up and they’ve got to get ready to get their rear ends coached off this week because that’s what’s gonna happen.

“I’m not gonna sit here and I’m not gonna take it and I’m not gonna accept it. They’d better buckle it up. They’d better start hydrating right now, because it’s not acceptable the way we’re playing.

“It starts and ends with me, so I’m gonna fix it.”

Nebraska drove 80 yards for a touchdown after Williams picked off Thorson in the end zone on the opening drive of the second half, with Carter’s 4-yard TD catch making it 17-7.

Northwestern answered with a 24yard TD pass from Thorson to Carr, but Jack Mitchell’s extra-point attempt hit the left upright. The Cornhuskers then went 79 yards with Jordan Westerkamp running it in from the 10 to boost the lead to 24-13.

EAST LANSING, Mich. – By the time Alex Hornibrook’s first start was over, there wasn’t much question about whether he could handle one of the toughest road tests in the Big Ten. Hornibrook threw for 195 yards and a touchdown, and 11th-ranked Wisconsin turned its early-season showdown with No. 8 Michigan State into a rout, beating the Spartans, 30-6, Saturday.

“You’ve got to have respect for a guy whose first start is against a Michigan State defense,” Wisconsin running back Corey Clement said.

“He’s going to come out the next game and do even better. I think he’s just getting his feet wet.”

The freshman quarterback outplayed fifth-year senior Tyler O’Connor, his Michigan State counterpart. The Badgers (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) were the better team in the first half and then outscored the Spartans, 17-0, in the third quarter.

Michigan State (2-1, 0-1) was down 13-6 early in the third and had the ball in Wisconsin territory when LJ Scott’s fumble bounced to Wisconsin’s Leo Musso in the secondary. O’Connor was the only player with a decent shot at him on the return, and Musso spun past the quarterback and went all the way to the end zone for a 66-yard touchdown.

O’Connor finished 18 of 38 for 224 yards with three interceptions.

Clement ran for two touchdowns for Wisconsin.

No. 4 Michigan 49, Penn St. 10: At Ann Arbor, Michigan, De’Veon Smith led an overwhelming ground game with 107 yards rushing and a touchdown, and Karan Higdon ran for two scores for Michigan in the Big Ten opener for both teams.

The Wolverines (4-0) had six touchdowns on the ground and finished with 326 yards rushing. Wilton Speight threw one touchdown pass. Penn State (2-2) has lost three straight to the Wolverines.

Iowa 14, Rutgers 7: At Piscataway, New Jersey, Akrum Wadley scored on a 26yard run on the play after Iowa’s defense forced a turnover deep in Rutgers’ territory, and the Hawkeyes showed some grit late in both halves in a victory over tougher-than-expected Rutgers in a Big Ten opener.

Safety Brandon Snyder set up the winning score by stripping the ball from receiver Andre Patton with just under nine minutes to play to help Iowa (3-1) win its ninth straight regular-season conference game and its seventh straight league win on the road.

Rutgers (2-2) tied the score early in the fourth quarter on a 14-yard touch-

down pass from Chris Laviano to Patton.

Minnesota 31, Colorado St. 24: At Minneapolis, Rodney Smith rushed 17 times for 99 yards and two touchdowns to help Minnesota beat Colorado State (2-2).

Shannon Brooks, the team’s leading rusher last year, returned from a broken foot that kept him out of the first two games and gained 85 yards and a score on 13 carries for the Gophers (3-0).

Purdue 24, Nevada 14: At West Lafayette, Indiana, for Purdue sophomores David Blough and Markell Jones, Saturday’s come-from-behind victory against Nevada was all about redemption.

Blough threw an interception during the game’s opening series that the Wolf Pack converted into a touchdown and Jones lost two opening-half fumbles, one of which was converted into a touchdown. But Blough threw for 300 yards and two touchdowns, and Jones had a go-ahead score in the third quarter as Purdue (2-1) rallied to beat the Wolf Pack (2-2).

Wake Forest 33, Indiana 28: At Bloomington, Indiana, on a day the Demon Deacons picked off five passes and blocked a field goal, quarterback John Wolford ran for two scores, threw for another and led Wake to a momentous victory at Indiana. Wake is off to its first 4-0 start in 10 years and celebrated coach Dave Clawson’s 100th career win.

The Deacons’ stout defense held the Hoosiers (2-1) well below their 32.0 scoring average, ended Devine Redding’s streak of five straight games with 100 yards rushing and forced Richard Lagow into five interceptions and an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

Protests spread, gain momentum NEW YORK – Liberty guard Brittany Boyd sat on the bench with her head bowed in prayer during the national anthem before a WNBA playoff game.

Hours earlier, college football players for Michigan and Michigan State, along with a group of students at North Carolina, raised their fists during the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” on Saturday.

Since 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the anthem before NFL preseason games, citing racial injustice and police brutality, his movement has slowly spread across fields and courts in the U.S. On Saturday, college and professional athletes joined together to follow his lead after a week punctuated by riots in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the killing of an unarmed black man in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

This wasn’t the first time Boyd sat during the anthem. She said she also did it at the past few games.

“I don’t want to stand up. I choose not to stand up and I sit down and pray,” the second-year guard said. “Colin and his message about social injustice going on in this country today is something I believe needs change.”

The Berkeley, California, native had a Kaepernick jersey hanging in her locker and wore it to the arena Saturday night.

Her New York teammates stood,

arms locked with their heads bowed before their WNBA playoff game with Phoenix. Mercury players Mistie Bass and Kelsey Bone kneeled, just as they had done during their first-round playoff game. Bass was inspired that younger athletes were joining an effort that until this weekend had been mostly led by the pros.

“I think it shows that the younger generations are about this and they did it together,” she said. “They are understanding what is going on in our society.

It’s perfect because they are so caught up in their phones. To see them standing up for social injustices and wanting things to be right in their communities I think is awesome.”

Three Michigan State players – Delton Williams, Kenney Lyke and Gabe Sherrod – held their right fists in the air while standing on the sideline before the No. 8 Spartans hosted No. 11 Wisconsin.

“Whether somebody salutes, puts the hand over their heart or does something else, everybody has a choice to make,” Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio added after the Spartans’ 30-6 loss. “Our young people are in college, and I can promise you one thing, that when the flag is presented in some respect, I guess it becomes much more important now.

It’s not just, oh by the way, we’ll just stand for ‘The Star-Spangled Banner.’

“All I can do is try and lead the best way I can, and be positive and accepting to our football team and our players,” the coach said.

It’s hard to beat a clairvoyant When I opened my email this morning, I saw I had a message with the subject heading: “Message on hold.” It was from someone named Chris Clairvoyant.

“Well, Chris,” I said as my finger hovered over the delete key, “if you’re really a clairvoyant, then you’ve known all along what I’m about to do.”

But wait a minute, I thought as my digit of deletion hung poised in midair.

What if this is just a person named Chris with the unfortunate last name Clairvoyant? Hasn’t he suffered enough? I felt ashamed I would jump to the conclusion Chris Clairvoyant was just some pseudo-psychic charlatan trolling for business.

After all, I have a friend named Lee Skinner, and if I got an email from him, it would be horrible if I dumped him in the trash while muttering, “Well, why would I want to converse with a lee skinner? Sounds like a job title for a guy who removes the hide from the downwind side of a dead animal.”

Or – wait another minute – why should I assume Chris Clairvoyant is a man? It’s the kind of name that can swing either way, right? Is Chris a woman struggling not only with an unfortunate surname, but also with the equally frustrating challenge of toting around a front name that requires a clairvoyant to tell you whether she’s a he, or he’s a she? I would hate to add to his/her woes by blocking a conversation with him/ her because of false assumptions like that.

I clicked on the email and opened it.

“Get your psychic reading at no cost,” the note said. “Important revelation FREE for you!”

So, OK, it looked like Chris was a bogus clairvoyant after all, sending out a mass email to any fool willing to bite on the bait. I flexed my expunge-knuckles.

But hold on, I thought. I still didn’t know if it was Mr. Chris or Ms. Chris I would be dumping in the circular

file. And then there was that key word jumping out at me – FREE – in CAPITAL LETTERS. And the whole thing followed up by an EXCLAMATION MARK!!!

Wow, I thought. Chris really gets me.

Maybe he – or she – really is the real deal, and he (or she) really can read my mind.

I read further: “For thirty years, my reputation as a Psychic, Astrologer and Parapsychologist, was recognized worldwide, even on television.”

Now admit it, all those Capital Letters really catch your Attention, right?

And how can you dump someone in the trash who is recognized on television? It just wouldn’t be American, would it? I mean, TV is the gold standard, right?

I read on: “I have helped thousands of people to follow the path of happiness and prosperity by guiding them with my gifts of clairvoyance.”

Well, at first glance that seems to be pretty much a boilerplate sentence for any guy (or girl) hoping to land a gig as a hired soothsayer, right? But get this – the sentence was written in blue! And I really like blue! It’s my favorite color!

This Chris Clairvoyant dude (or dudette) was already in my head! He (or she) had to be the Real Deal!

CC went on: “It will certainly surprise you, if I tell you that today, it is you that I choose. I will provide you plenty of explanation of what happens to you and what will happen to you soon.”

Hmmm, I thought. That didn’t sound like the writing of a native speaker, did it? It was just a click off of normal, as if it had been written by someone from some odd, foreign, English-challenged place like - oh, I don’t know, West Virginia maybe.

The kicker came in the next line, which was also in blue: “And today, I will do this for you, for free!”

Again with the free business. OK, what kind of red-white-and-blue American Psychic, Astrologer and Parapsychologist would give away his (or her) talents for free? It’s just not the American way.

I scrolled down to the bottom of the note, where it said I could contact Chris in writing at the Kowloon Building in Kowloon, Hong Kong.

So there it was: Just one more example of how we have outsourced all our good Psychic, Astrology and Parapsychology jobs offshore. Oh, some will argue Chris from Kowloon is just doing the Psychic, Astrological and Parapsychological work that clairvoyant Americans don’t want to do anymore, but far be it from me to turn my back on all of our homegrown Psychics, Astrologers and Parapsychologists trying to pay the bills.

And then for this Chris Clairvoyant interloper to offer his (or her) services for free …? It’s obviously a tax dodge, right? I mean, how can you collect income tax from a guy (or girl) who makes no income? Especially when he (or she) earns that lack of income offshore?

“Well, Chris Clairvoyant – if that is your real name,” I thought as my slashto-the-trash finger hovered over the keyboard, “your psychic vision should have told you that all you would get from me was … was ….”

Well … all you would get from me was this article. Which is, I suppose, some pretty good free press, since my column is read by a faithful flock of followers who must number nearly a dozen.

Oh, well played, Chris Clairvoyant.

Well played indeed.

But then, you knew all along I would say that, didn’t you?

EnvironmentTip Some other ways to cut down on plastic

Here are some unexpected ways to reduce plastic use: Use matches for campfires, candles, etc. instead of disposable plastic lighters, which sit in landfills for years or get eaten by birds and animals, leading to

their death.

Buy boxes, not bottles, of laundry detergent or other cleaners. Cardboard can be more easily recycled and made into more products than plastic.

Reuse glass and plastic containers. Instead of throwing them away or recycling food

containers, reuse them for food storage, packed lunches and restaurant leftovers.

Lastly, don’t buy juice in a plastic bottle. Instead, make your own or simply eat fresh fruit. Not only does this cut down on plastic waste, but it’s also better for you because

you’ll be getting more vitamins and antioxidants and less high fructose corn syrup.

For a healthier you and a healthier earth, reduce your plastic use.

This August 2013 photo shows Buddy, a border collie mix, playing in a pond in Hartland, Maine. She was sprayed by a skunk a year later during her nightly run around the yard, but an Internet search revealed an effective solution for neutralizing the odor made from hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and liquid soap.

Did your dog get skunked? Try an easy household remedy

By BETH J. HARPAZ The Associated Press Buddy is a New York City dog, accustomed to bedtime walks around the block on a leash.

But on family vacations in rural Maine, I let her out the back door each night unaccompanied.

One night last summer, she was gone awhile. I called to her and when she finally stumbled back, she seemed stunned. Her fur and face glistened in the dark.

Then the sickening, unmistakable odor hit.

She’d been sprayed by a skunk.

It was late and we were miles from stores that sell dog shampoo or even tomato juice, which I vaguely recalled hearing was a remedy. But my sister found a simple recipe online using ingredients we had: a quart of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide, a quarter-cup baking soda and a teaspoon or two of liquid soap.

We kept Buddy outside while applying the solution to her fur. The smell immediately dissipated. I became curious about this miraculous antidote for one of the most unbearable smells on earth. Here’s what I learned.

A chemist’s tale

In 1993, chemist Paul Krebaum was working for Molex, a manufacturer headquartered in Illinois, when he developed a substance with odors that were “not appreciated by others in the building,” as he recounts on his website.

Krebaum devised a compound to neutralize the smell, and created a gentler version – the skunk remedy – when a colleague’s cat was skunked.

He sent the story to Chemical & Engineering News. He’s been getting thank-you letters ever since, along with thousands of hits on his website.

He’s rightly proud of the formula: It’s cheap, biodegradable and ecofriendly. A “Mythbusters” show even confirmed its effectiveness.

Skunk spray science

Skunk stink comes from a family of sulfur molecules called thiols. Hydrogen peroxide or bleach changes the molecule “to something that does not stink” by oxidizing it, said Theodore Stankowich, assistant professor at California State University, Long Beach, who runs a lab that studies skunk behavior.

Krebaum’s “hydrogen peroxide formula is the best one that I’ve ever seen,” Stankowich said. And don’t bother with tomato juice. “The reason people use [tomato juice] is because the nose is suffering from olfactory fatigue,” said Jerry Dragoo, a mephitologist (one who studies bad smells) at the University of New Mexico.

“Tomato juice will temporarily overwhelm the skunk smell. However, when you go outside to get a breath of fresh air and then come back in, all you smell is skunk.”

Tips and warnings

Hydrogen peroxide may bleach your dog’s fur. Also, use a washcloth to apply the magic formula to your dog’s face, being careful to keep it away from the eyes. Hydrogen peroxide decomposes over time. Buy a new bottle periodically, and don’t make Krebaum’s formula in advance.

When Tricia Lerdon and her husband separated, they had to figure out how to share their beloved dachshund, Jetson.

“One of us giving up the dog?” she said. “That wasn’t even a conversation.”

So while living apart, they co-owned Jetson for several years until he died earlier this year. He traveled between their homes on the same schedule their daughter did, so she always would have her pet’s company.

Pet custody disputes are on the rise, according to the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers in Chicago, in a 2014 survey.

The survey cited attorneys handling cases concerning cats, dogs, birds and reptiles.

Christie Long, chief veterinarian for PetCoach, an online resource for pet owners, said as pets have become more ingrained in families’ lives, pet owners who split up have come up with creative ways to ensure continued relationships with their animals.

She encourages owners to discuss the arrangement at the start of a breakup to avoid problems later. Think about how to provide and pay for veterinary care, and what measures to take if the animal gets sick, Long said.

Also address discipline and pet behavior.

“If one party is more rigid about rules like no dogs on the couch and the other doesn’t care that much, you definitely want to discuss that,” she said.

In hindsight, Lerdon wishes she and her ex-husband had talked more about the plan for Jetson.

She wonders if shuttling between two homes might have hurt his health as he aged. “I do think it took a

5 tips for exes Robin Bennett, chairman of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers in Kentucky says: 1. Keep the animal on the same sleep schedule at both houses.

2. Maintain similar feeding times.

3. Enforce the same rules.

4. Make sure the animal gets plenty of exercise.

5. Use the same commands and cues. toll on him,” she said.

Yet she also believes Jetson would have been unhappy if he were cut off from either her or her ex.

“It’s like a child,” she said. “You can’t keep a child from a parent.”

Long encourages pet owners to consider whether their pet also has a relationship with another animal in the household.

“Animals are adaptable,” she said. “For the most part, they are happy to be with one owner. I would caution people about breaking up multiple pets that have bonded. Keeping those pets together as much as possible will mean they are less likely to develop behavioral problems.”

Cat owners may want to think twice about pet sharing, Long said. Cats tend to become comfortable in a certain location and might not do well traveling between two residences, she said.

Couples who have difficulty agreeing on a plan can turn to mediators who specialize in pet cases.

Mediation can help both parties have honest conversations about the animal, said Debra Hamilton of Hamilton Law and Mediation in Armonk, New York. It also results in an enforceable plan that both parties have agreed to.

Childhood pain can follow into adulthood “Tom’s” dad was a wealthy businessman and an alcoholic. He always valued money more than people and sacrificed his family for the almighty dollar. Even though it was emotionally painful, Tom’s brothers learned to be like dad.

Tom wasn’t the athlete his dad wanted him to be, the academic high performer or the most popular kid in school. Tom was sensitive, artistic and creative. Tom’s dad was disappointed in him and let him know, at every opportunity and without any doubt, Tom should stop being a baby and be more like his successful, popular older brothers.

His brothers picked up the refrain, and Tom became, in his family’s eyes, a loser. Before long, Tom withdrew into a confused world of hurt, self-destructive thinking and alcohol. He rebelled against his parent’s version

of him but internally felt like the loser they thought he was. He took occasional refuge with an understanding teacher, but drinking quickly was becoming his best friend. His first psychiatric hospitalization was shortly after high school, when in a drunken stupor he told his mom he was going to kill himself.

In college, he met what he thought was his kindred spirit and soulmate.

She turned out to be his drinking buddy, and 10 years and three kids later, they divorced in a spectacularly ugly process that lasted two years and cost $40,000. It was a hard decision for the judge, but she awarded joint custody to Tom and his wife, neither of whom were fit parents.

With child support, weekend visits and a full-time job, Tom found time to learn how to binge drink. He drank primarily from Thursday through

GetAGrip Gale Harris

Sunday on the weekends he didn’t have the kids. He often didn’t make it to the office Monday, but his enabling boss would cover for him until enough was enough and Tom lost his job.

With nothing to look forward to, he filled his empty, lonely time with alcohol. As much as he tried to control it, he began to drink when the kids were with him. This got back to his ex-wife, and two months later, Tom no longer had custody. He did have a court order to get an alcohol evaluation.

His second hospitalization came when in a drunken stupor he told his middle daughter he was going to kill himself. She, being wiser than many, knew it was the alcohol talking and orchestrated Tom’s first alcohol rehab stay. He stayed sober for more than a year after that first stay but relapsed and continued to spiral down for the

next several years.

A series of detoxes followed by locking himself in a motel room drinking landed Tom in a sober-living home, where, through AA meetings and a sober environment, he’s put together six months of good time.

He’s been able to let go of some of his worst resentments, particularly toward his dad. He’s been working on self-acceptance, and his self-esteem and self-respect are on the mend. He’s learning to live honestly and humbly and subsequently sober and happy, one day at a time.

Aging well is a mental health challenge I am 76. That is irrelevant usually, but this I about aging well, and I think I should be up front with you so you can evaluate for yourself whether the advice I am about to give you is platinum or plastic.

First, aging well is possible only if you keep a curious mind and an absurd sense of humor. The curious mind goes a long way in keeping you engaged and interested in the world, and the sense of humor helps you keep your perspective. I sometimes prescribe laughter to my clients, who don’t always believe I am serious.

Laughter is good for you. It stimulates your insides, lowers your stress level and makes you feel better. Even if they find nothing at the moment amusing, I tell them to say out loud the worst thing they are thinking and then say, “tee hee.” Really. The other day, I found myself in the ER with chest pains, and I told the attending physician, “I don’t think I am having a heart attack. I don’t

feel a sense of impending doom.” It was all he could do to keep a straight face.

Second, you need to maintain reasonable good health. I have had some physical challenges, which is not unusual for a person who has been around a little over three quarters of a century. I have two titanium knees, artificial lenses and three stents in various arteries, including the so-called “widow-maker.” If I hadn’t found the medical adventures interesting, and if I couldn’t laugh, life would have been difficult. I take medication, I watch what I eat and I take a baby aspirin every day without fail. (Actually, I did fail to do that last one for about two months, which is why I found myself in the hospital undergoing every test known to human kind before my doctors and I concluded the whole episode had been my fault. I had run out of aspirin and, well, because it was a baby aspirin, how important could it be?

The answer, apparently, is VERY.) If you haven’t surmised this by now, laughing at yourself and your own foibles is crucial to good mental health and aging well.

Third, find something meaningful to do. “Meaningful” is subjective.

For some, it means working until you die with your boots on. For others, it means helping your community or your family accomplish their goals. For some, it means “doing art” or learning more about the world through travel. Whatever “it” is has to be fulfilling for you. It does not have to measure up to anyone else’s standards for what is meaningful, important or worthy. This is your life we are talking about, and, as Oscar Wilde once observed, “You might as well be yourself; everybody else is taken.”

Finally, find or include friends in your life. Life is not meant to be lived alone; we are meant to be in community. So, whether that com-

munity consists of family, a church, political affiliation, a special interest group or other people at the dog park, socialize. We need other people to talk to – other perspectives – and sometimes reassurance we are doing the best we can.

Eventually, of course, we all come to the end of the road. But, if we have done the journey well, we will be content, having lived with curiosity instead of fear, with humor instead of despair, as healthily as our choices (and our genes) allow, with people we care about and who care about us. And, we will leave a legacy that makes the world better off for having had us in it.

Award-winning storyteller Jim May performs Sept. 16 at the Woodstock Opera House, sharing stories from his new book, “Trail Guide For A Crooked Heart,” as well as favorites from his first collection, “The Farm On Nippersink Creek.”

Part of the story Professional storyteller Jim May launches Conversation Café, prepares to tour with new book

ward-winning storyteller Jim May still is telling stories, both in writing with his new book and in spoken word as he travels the country.

But the Spring Grove native is hoping for more these days – healthy conversation.

He wants “to get folks listening to each other with respect,” even when it comes to today’s politics.

Tweaking a monthly Spoken Word Café program he’s hosted at Stage Left Café in Woodstock for the past seven years, May has joined a national coffee house movement called Conversation Café. The movement’s title pretty much says it all.

People throughout the country are encouraged to host conversations in cafés, conference rooms, classrooms – “anywhere people gather to make sense of our world.” People come. They talk. They listen. Perhaps they learn, gain perspective, think.

“We’re so polarized,” May said. “We don’t listen to each other in this country. We just shout at each other.”

May already has hosted free admission Conversation Cafés on the topics of “$15 Minimum Wage” and “War: Worshiping at the Temple of Mars.”

His next topic – scheduled for 7 to 9 p.m. Oct. 15 at Stage Left Café, 125 W. Van Buren St., Woodstock – is “Who You Gonna Vote For?” “That might get a little more exciting,” May said, with a laugh. But the events have regimented rules, such as allowing everyone three minutes to talk.

“I’m going to carefully manage the discussion so everyone is respectful,” May said.

In 2017, he expects to bring back the monthly Spoken Word Café, in which national storytellers drawn through May’s travel and contacts and others perform

either through spoken word, poetry jams, the reading of creative writing, rap or pretty much any art form.

A professional storyteller, May hosted an Illinois Storytelling Festival for 20 years in Spring Grove and has built a national reputation through his performances and books, including “The Farm on Nippersink Creek,” the children’s book, “The Boo Baby Girl Meets the Ghost of Mable’s Gable,” and most recently, “Trail Guide for a Crooked Heart” – which has earned rave reviews on Amazon.

Aside from stopping in at Conversation Café and other various events, he intends to spend the next 18 months or so on a “Crooked Heart Book Tour,” traveling across the country in a camper with his wife, Nancy Seidler, to host book signings and, of course, tell stories.

The book’s title is based on a line from the W.H. Auden poem, “As I Walked Out One Evening”: “You shall love your crooked neighbor with your crooked heart.”

It’s the premise that life is crooked, May said, and mistakes, risks and tragedies often “can be transformed into grace and even a deeper, more thoughtful life.”

Along with his own stories, the book contains myths from various cultures, religious stories, a smattering of quotes and more.

“It’s really a culmination of 30 years being on the road telling stories and meeting people,” May said of the book. “In some ways, it’s a collection of fables for life’s journeys. … There’s a lot of humor in it, too.”

May also hopes to host a series of storytelling events at the Woodstock Opera House next year, as he’s seen an urban storytelling movement sweep through major cities, including Chicago, where at least 40 storytelling events a month are hosted. A list of those events and more can be found at Illinois Storytelling Inc.’s www. storytelling.org.

“You can virtually hear storytelling every night of the month at some bar or club,” he said.

CONVERSATION CAFÉ WHEN: 7 to 9 p.m. Oct. 15 WHERE: Stage Left Café, 125 W. Van Buren St., Woodstock COST & INFO: “Who You Gonna Vote For?” will be the topic of conversation during the event, part of a national coffee house movement to get people talking, respectfully.

When you purchase a new piece of jewelry, whether it’s a diamond engagement ring or a colored stone that will compliment your favorite outfit of the season, it’s By Karly Bulinski important to know what you are buying and whom you are buying it from.

I recently worked with a customer who had purchased what she had thought was a natural peridot necklace that resembled something her grandmother used to wear.

She brought it in to me for a gem ID to confirm that it was genuine. It was from a jewelry store in a large tourist area and she was told it was guaranteed to be natural with origins from Sri Lanka. That was the first red flag for me as peridot generally comes from sources in the U.S., Pakistan, Myanmar, and China. That is not to say that peridot can’t come out of Sri Lanka, it’s just not one of the more notable sources.

Once I looked at the stone under the microscope, I immediately noted several large gas bubbles inside and the second red flag was raised. While there are a few exceptions, emerald and moldavite for example, natural gemstones rarely contain gas bubbles. To further investigate the stone, I took the Refractive Index and found that it was singly refractive (3rd red flag!) instead of doubly refractive which confirmed that the stone was indeed not a natural peridot. The only other option was that this stone was glass.

The customer was quite upset to realize that her new piece of jewelry was not actually a natural peridot, but rather a big hunk of pretty green glass. Fortunately she was able to return it and receive a full refund but it was unfortunate that she had Graduate Gemologist to go through any of that to begin with.

Email jewelry questions to: The reason I shared this story toady is to bring awareness to the fact that it’s suzanne@steffansjewelers.com important to know what you are buying. Go to a jewelry store that you know and or karly@steffansjewelers.com trust and don’t make a large jewelry purchase on-line. Go somewhere that you can touch and feel what you are potentially going to spend your hard earned money on.

Ask to see the inclusions (if there are any) using a jewelers loupe (every store has one) or through the microscope (we take inclusion photos with our phones using the microscope!) Once purchased, make sure you ask for an appraisal. All of the diamond and gemstone jewelry we sell comes with a complimentary insurance appraisal and this is usually common practice among any brick and mortar jeweler.

Lastly, make sure your buying experience is fun! Purchasing jewelry is making an WWW.STEFFANSJEWELERS.COM investment into your future! It can be handed down through the generations and lives on in the family forever.

Author Spotlight

CATHERINE FINGER Hometown: Grayslake Latest Book: “Shattered By Death” Publisher: Hope Springs Book Release Date: June 7, 2016 What’s your new book about?

After Chief of Police Josie Oliver’s abusive soon-to-be-ex-husband had an affair with another woman, she could have murdered them. But when someone does, she’s the prime suspect and the only one who can solve the case.

Where did the idea come from?

I wanted to create a strong female character working in a predominantly male field, and hit on the idea of a female police chief as my protagonist. This genre allows me to play with lots of action as well as the ideas of justice and good v. evil. Having created characters I really like, I now find them dancing about my mind in endless directions, and I simply must write about them!

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

My books are faith-based thrillers, and I just love writing them and reading similar books. I love the fun of reading a well-constructed thriller novel, and as a woman of faith myself, I can’t write an authentic character arc without injecting faith issues into the hearts and thoughts of my characters. I love creating complex characters.

Who is the intended audience?

I think anyone who loves a good thriller will enjoy this book, and especially those who enjoy suspense with a spiritual kick.

Why is this story important to you?

My main character’s journey is one I find reflected in all of our hearts. Chief Josie struggles with her own sense of place and home; she struggles with motherhood and balancing her role as a new single mother of an adopted 7-year-old with her demanding job as a police chief. The faith piece matters because I believe God has more for us, and we so often fail to enjoy the robust lives He designed us for due to our own limitations. I hope my readers gain courage in watching my Josie wrestle with her doubt, her fears and her God. How long did it take you to write? What was your process?

My personal writing goal is 500 words a day, before I go to work, between 5 and 6 a.m. My practice is to sit at my writing desk with a strong cup of coffee, journal long hand for about 15 minutes and then begin my writing by reading the

previous day’s work on my laptop. I read only to get my head back in the game, not to edit. This whets my appetite, and I start writing. I NEVER judge myself or edit my work while writing a first draft. I write all the way though a first draft, and then start tweaking, improving, doing the real work of the novel.

I also take “writing vacations.” I’ll take myself and my computer to a tropical location and enjoy the sun, sand and ocean by day and write on through the night. So far, all of my books have been finished on a beach. “Shattered by Death” came together in a year.

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

I just love the journey. I had a real “ah-ha” moment when I figured out who my killer was going to be, and then I wrote like a crazy woman.

This book includes a lot of surprises, and that just delights me completely.

The hardest part of any book for me is to set aside my nagging self doubts and just write on.

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

I am very pleased to be publishing with traditional contracts through Hope Springs Books, a small indie publisher under the expert direction of Lynellen Perry. I wanted to work with a publisher to make sure I am creating my best work and something I’ll still be proud of in 10 years.

Having my publisher help navigate the myriad details of the important behind the scenes parts of bringing a book to market is a wonderful asset.

What is your education/background?

It is my privilege to serve as superintendent of Grayslake Community High School District 127, and I have an educator’s résumé. My undergraduate degree was in Spanish and French, and I started out as a French and Spanish teacher at Evanston Township High School. I completed an MA in Spanish Lit while teaching there as well as my administrative endorsement courses. My doctorate is in Instructional Leadership.

How/why did you decide to write a book?

I just love the discovery process that happens when I sit down to write. Writing makes me happy, and I learn more about myself and my world through the process of writing. It’s a huge bonus that people have had such positive experiences reading my books. While this is all quite new, I really love talking about my books, presenting them to the world and interacting with readers.

Who are your favorite authors?

Oh, I have so many! C.S. Lewis is one of my

all-time favorite authors, as is Watchman Nee. Jesse Penn Lewis is right up there (no relation to C.S.!) And I love Craig Johnson; Sandra Brannon; Janet Ivanovich; J.D.Robb; Sara Peretsky; Patricia Cornwall; John MacDonald; Ray Chandler; Agatha Christie; and Anne Lamott to name a few.

Pick one: Danielle Steel or John Grisham?

John Grisham! Though I seriously respect Danielle Steel!

Pick one: Stephen King or Nicholas Sparks?

Stephen King!

Pick one: Ebooks or hard/paperbacks?

Both!

Have you written anything else?

Yes. “Cleansed by Death,” the first novel of the series, was released on April 5, 2016. This was a reissuing of my debut novel, “Alabaster Vases,” with a few improvements.

What’s next for you?

I finished the third book in the series and am busy editing. The fourth book is in the works – and I had no idea there was going to be a fourth book! My characters made me do it ...

Reader seeks help reconnecting with friend Have you ever been at a different stage than a friend in your life?

I have.

Friendships in my past have dissolved because we simply outgrew each other. I noticed our values changed, and we struggled to find a common ground. However, some relationships deserve a second chance. Some even can be deepened through challenging times.

One of our readers submitted an important question about friendships: “If I wanted to deepen a relationship with a friend, but we are in two different stages of life, how would you suggest going about doing that?” – Kelly Dear Kelly: What a great question. I believe many of us can relate to being in a different stage of life than a friend, a romantic interest or a spouse.

Here are some steps you can try:

1. Reflect on your stage of life. Ask yourself these questions: How do you believe you are in two different stages? Do you believe one stage is better than the other? How might you have created the gap in the friendship? Taking a moment to reflect on things provides us a little time to think and process.

Our first reaction about someone is not always accurate, so it is important to reflect from a nonreactive place.

2. Reflect on what you appreciate about that person or the friendship. Focus on the good in the friendship

friend to share how important your friendship is and changes you have noticed. Allow space for your friend to share his or her thoughts, feelings and feedback. Honest conversations lead to deeper intimacy.

All relationships go through transitions, and all humans are at different places in their journey.

When friendships go through challenging times, we can learn and grow ourselves. Let us know how it goes!
