Good morning, McHenry County ...

No hiding from domestic violence Sometimes, we excuse ourselves from particular social problems and blame them on cultural factors, urban issues or plights that don’t touch our communities. Although I so wish it was, domestic violence isn’t one of those.

The tax bracket doesn’t matter. It’s hard to find any family anywhere that doesn’t have some history where a family member has been a victim of domestic violence.

It’s dehumanizing, and the escalation can be deadly.

Most of the murders that have been committed in my 20-plus years in McHenry County have been cases where the victim was a wife, a girlfriend or a family member of the killer.

And nearly all of the time, you can retrace the steps of that escalation – orders of protection, police reports, other cries for help.

It doesn’t have to end this way. Circumstances can change. There can be intervention.

Victims can leave. Perpetrators can change behaviors. There is hope.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. And at 6 p.m. Oct. 6, Turning Point will host its candlelight vigil in the Woodstock

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Kevin Lyons Square – this year to honor Laura Harrison, whom authorities said was murdered by her husband, Anthony Harrison, in their McHenry home.

As is often the case, Anthony Harrison had been charged with domestic violence before.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that every person who is charged with domestic battery eventually will kill, but it does mean that domestic violence must be taken very seriously.

If we want to be the kind of communities that value wives, mothers, sisters and daughters, we have to pay attention, and we should be grateful that agencies such as Turning Point are there to help remind us.

CHICAGO – It’s dreaded by moms-to-be, but morning sickness is actually a good sign – for the baby, a government study shows, confirming common pregnancy lore and less rigorous research.

Women with nausea early in pregnancy were half as likely to have miscarriages and stillbirths as those who sailed through the first few months. Miscarriages were also less common in women who had nausea plus vomiting, although the benefit was stronger for those who just had nausea.

Led by researchers at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the study involved almost 800 women who’d had at least one miscarriage and then became pregnant again.

CHARGE AND COUNTERCHARGE Clinton, Trump battle fiercely over taxes, race, economy

By JULIE PACE and JILL COLVIN The Associated Press

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. – In a combative opening debate, Hillary Clinton emphatically denounced Donald Trump on Monday night for keeping his personal tax returns and business dealings secret from voters and peddling a “racist lie” about President Barack Obama. Businessman Trump repeatedly cast Clinton as a “typical politician” as he sought to capitalize on Americans’ frustration with Washington.

More inside n Moderator Lester Holt struggles to keep control of debate. Page A10 n Fact check: Candidates deny own words in debate. Page A12 Locked in an exceedingly close White House race, the presidential rivals tangled for 90-minutes over their vastly different visions for the nation’s future. Clinton called for lowering taxes for the middle class, while

Trump focused more on renegotiating trade deals that he said have caused companies to move jobs out of the U.S. The Republican backed the controversial “stop-and-frisk policing” tactic as a way to bring down crime, while the Democrat said the policy was unconstitutional and ineffective.

The debate was confrontational from the start, with Trump frequently trying to interrupt Clinton and speaking over her answers. Clinton was more measured and restrained, but also needled the sometimes-thin-

skinned Trump over his business record and wealth.

“There’s something he’s hiding,” she declared, scoffing at his repeated contentions that he won’t release his tax returns because he is being audited. Tax experts have said an audit is no bar to making his records public.

She said one reason he has refused is that he may well have paid nothing in federal taxes. He interrupted to say, “That makes me smart.”

FOX LAKE

Prosecutor: Woman involved in shooting had ‘personal problems’

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Prosecutors said Elizabeth Kloss was dealing with “personal problems” when she advanced toward McHenry County sheriff’s deputies outside a Wonder Lake home with an assault rifle.

Kloss, 56, of Fox Lake, is on trial this week for charges of aggravated assault and possession of firearms and ammunition without a valid FOID card.

She was arrested after a July 2014 incident when Elizabeth members of the McHenry Kloss County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 7400 block of Boston Avenue, in an unincorporated area near Wonder Lake, on a report of a suicidal subject.

During opening statements Monday, Assistant State’s Attorney John Gibbons said Kloss was cleaning her then-boyfriend Robert Lehr’s home while he was in an in-patient physical rehabilitation facility the morning of July 20, 2014.

Kloss called Lehr and made “concerning

statements” to him because she was upset the previous few days after an argument she had had with her mother. She said she had fired two shots outside of his home with one of his guns, and she was concerned that police officers were going to arrive.

Lehr asked mutual friend James Fillinger III to check on Kloss and, when he arrived, he saw a handgun and alcohol at the residence. Fillinger III got rid of the alcohol, emptied the clip in the handgun and told Kloss to calm down and take a nap.

Shortly thereafter, Kloss called Lehr again and said she was going to kill herself. Alarmed by her statements, Lehr said he told a nurse at the rehabilitation facility to call 911.

“I had a lot of concern, and I did take some action,” Lehr said.

Police arrived on scene and heard her make what they considered to be “concerning statements,” and they tried to get her outside of the home so she would surrender and could be transported for a mental health evaluation.

McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy Justin McKenzie, who responded to the scene in 2014, said Kloss eventually approached

the window of the residence with a gun to her head while the officers were outside.

He said both he and another deputy continued to attempt to make contact with Kloss and told her several times who they were and why they were there.

McKenzie said he did not draw his handgun until he saw a gun through the window in Kloss’ possession. He said she later came outside the front door with an assault rifle and pointed it in the direction of the officers.

Deputies fired several rounds at Kloss and struck her once in the head.

The gun, which belonged to Lehr, was not loaded, police have said.

“I was in fear for my life and my partner’s life,” McKenzie said.

Gibbons said that while this was a “dreadful incident,” it was Kloss’ actions that caused what happened in 2014.

Robert Loeb, Kloss’ attorney, argued that his client did not place the officers in a “reasonable apprehension of a battery.” He said Kloss has had alcohol issues most of her life and also previously contemplated suicide.

Kloss is being held in the McHenry County Jail in lieu of $35,000 bond. The bench trial will reconvene Tuesday.

Travel baseball team supports 4-year-old with brain tumor

???day’s results as of XX p.m.: Monday’s results as of 8:30 p.m.: xxxx

hprokop@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – By the time he was 2 years old, Matthew Erickson had undergone six brain surgeries, five rounds of chemotherapy, stage 4 highgrade glioma and one tumor.

The 4-year-old from Huntley now has been out of treatment for four years. And while his tumor has stopped growing, it takes up more than 40 percent of his brain and has caused developmental delays, said his mother, Sue Erickson.

“We obviously know that we’re very, very lucky to be where we are, so we never want to focus on the negative,” Erickson said. “But it’s a rough road.”

Years of being in and out of the hospital and the therapy Matthew goes through now have amounted in tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills, his mother said.

But part of the help the family has received has come from the Huntley Red Raiders travel baseball team, which Matthew’s father, Ben Erickson, helps coach.

“Anytime we can do fundraisers or whatever to help assist with medical bills, we try to give back to them as much as we can,” Red Raiders assistant coach Pat Kelly said.

In August, the team held a golf outing that raised $1,500 for the Ericksons; and in September, the team partnered with Massachusetts-based Lumberlend Co. to make specialized bat mugs with a superman logo of Matthew on them.

Throughout September, pediatric cancer awareness month, the company has been donating a portion of the proceeds to the Ericksons and is presenting the final check to the family Saturday.

Matthew Erickson is shown with his mother, Sue Erickson. The 4-year-old from Huntley has a tumor that takes up more than 40 percent of his brain.

“It takes that burden off emotionally, and it allows us to not focus on the bills, just for a little while, and to really just refocus on Matthew and our family,” Sue Erickson said.

Last year, the team also started using the “SuperMatt” logo on their jerseys, with a portion of the jerseys going toward the Ericksons. When other teams ask about the logos, it helps spread Matthew’s story, Kelly said.

“It inspires our kids, and it raises awareness for childhood cancer, too,” Kelly said.

Despite all Matthew has gone through, he remains a happy child

who’s always making people laugh, his mother said. The experience has brought the family – including Matthew’s 9-year-old brother, Nolan, and 6-year-old sister, Sophia – even closer, Sue Erickson said.

“I don’t think it’s that we’re that strong,” Sue Erickson said. “I think that it’s just when we are feeling really weak, we have a really strong community that lifts us up.”

“SuperMatt” mugs can be purchased at www.lumberlend.com, and donations to the family can be made anytime at a PNC bank to the Matthew Erickson Benefit Fund.

LOCAL BRIEF Health department seeking input on changes to ordinance

WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Board of Health is inviting the public to review its proposed revisions to the county health ordinance.

The health board approved changes that eliminate redundant requirements and clarify and update definitions, and made minor updates to food, sewage, water and animal control sections to comply with state law.

A copy of the ordinance can be found on the health department’s website at www.mcdh.info, and questions and comments can be submitted by email to health@co.mchenry.il.us, or by phone at 815-334-4510.

Health officials will hold two open houses to collect public opinion. The first is at 2:30 p.m. Oct. 11 at the health department’s main office at 2200 N. Seminary Ave., Woodstock; and the other starts at 6 p.m. Oct. 12 at the health department’s satellite office at 100 N. Virginia St., Crystal Lake.

The updated ordinance, after a 30-day review, is expected to be approved by the McHenry County Board in December.

Superintendent: High school hall pass policy hopefully temporary

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com MARENGO – The high school’s controversial hallway pass policy likely will be gone by second semester, school officials said Monday.

Marengo High School began its semester with a new hallway policy that called for students to be escorted to their destinations if they needed to leave the room during class. Angry parents and teenagers took to social media by storm and crowded last month’s board meeting in protest of the so-called “bathroom policy.”

A student advisory committee has since discussed the policy and will meet with the board to discuss alternative options to keep kids in class.

One benefit of the new policy is the ability to monitor trends, which seem to show a desired effect since the policy’s implementation, Superintendent

“When you look at what classes people are out of more frequently, it is study hall.

Students and teachers are utilizing those times of day more frequently.”

David Engelbrecht Marengo superintendent

David Engelbrecht said.

“We’ve been running reports administratively and looking at what classes, what students, what teachers, what times of day and what reasons,” he said. “When you look at what classes people are out of more frequently, it is study hall. Students and teachers are utilizing those times

of day more frequently.”

The student groups have made a variety of suggestions that will be discussed at a future meeting. By next semester, a general hall monitor should suffice for most circumstances, the superintendent said.

“With the exception of anyone we have identified that needs a little extra assistance to get the timing down,” he said. “I don’t see it as a disciplinary thing. It’s just working with the kids to make better choices. … We’re not seeing a ton of that.”

Board President Elizabeth Henning said she looked forward to hearing what the students had to say.

“I think it would be interesting to see what the student advisory committee comes up with. I think that’s a good thing to hear,” she said. “If the students as a whole can come up with something, I think it would be better received.”

McHENRY COUNTY BOARD

Two last-minute ballot changes made; Walkup running for 2 offices

n Kathleen Bergan Schmidt (D): Rural

Crystal Lake resident, former County Board member, retired history instructor n Chris Christensen (R): Rural Cary resident, vice president of Neis Insurance in Crystal Lake n Diane Johnson (D): Crystal Lake resident, self-employed family mediator n Michael Walkup (R): Crystal Lake resident, self-employed attorney, has served on County Board since 2012 Cary School District 26 board.

“Government does not create jobs, but it can deliver common-sense legislation that can foster job creation. For too long, we have been in a cycle where all government does is get in the way.

Let’s make it easier to do business in the county,” Christensen said.

Johnson cited local residents’ frustration with their tax bills as a main issue for running, and said the County Board should look at how to do things better, find more cost efficiencies and improve personnel performance.

Walkup points to the board’s ongoing efforts, and his support for eliminating the levy for Valley Hi Nursing Home.

And Bergan Schmidt said the board should participate more actively in budget formation, and scrutinize the effectiveness and delivery of services.

County government accounts for about 10 percent of property tax bills.

Johnson, a self-employed family mediator from Crystal Lake, said

Helping Honeymooners

since 1984

shrinking the size of the County Board would result in significant cost savings. Voters will face an advisory referendum asking whether the board should be decreased from its current size of 24 members. Johnson, 59, served 14 years on the Crystal Lake School District 47 board, several as its president.

“Shrinking the size of this board would have several benefits. One benefit would be spending fewer tax dollars. With four board members in each of the county’s six districts, the county pays board members about $570,000 annually. Additionally, our part-time county board members have the option of health care benefits, which cost the taxpayers more than $250,000 annually,” Johnson said.

All four candidates support shrinking the board’s size after the 2020 U.S. Census. Bergan Schmidt supports going to single-member districts, while Johnson identified that as an option if the voters want it.

Walkup, a self-employed attorney from Crystal Lake, has served on the County Board since 2012. He also is running for board chairman in the first-ever popular race for the seat.

Holding both seats would allow him under current state law to vote on issues, as the chairman under the existing system is allowed to do now. He would not receive extra compensation if he holds both offices.

Walkup, as part of ongoing efforts to trim county expenses, supports a permanent elimination of the Valley Hi levy by abating the $3 million levy

for a second straight year. Because the county-run nursing home west of Woodstock has operated in the black for years after a series of reforms, the levy has amassed a surplus large enough to fund years of operations.

“Given that we have a large surplus over and above future capital improvement needs of roughly $20 million due to good management over the past few years, I think we can live off of that for a considerable time and then go back to the voters if necessary for another levy approval, so I am recommending that this year,” said Walkup, 66.

Christensen likewise supports abolishing the levy, citing the surplus.

Bergan Schmidt opposes getting rid of it, and she and Johnson said that voters who enacted the levy by referendum should have a say when it comes to the home’s future.

Bergan Schmidt, a retired history instructor from rural Crystal Lake, was elected to the County Board in 2008, but did not win a second term four years later. She promised, if elected, to maintain the diligence, preparedness and attention to detail she brought to each full board and committee meeting.

“Electing me and other Democrats will provide an alternative voice to many issues that will come before the board. No matter what the party, single-party rule does not provide representative government that reflects what is best for the people of the county,” said Bergan Schmidt, 72.

All 24 members of the County Board are Republican.

Two last-minute ballot changes and a candidate running for two offices make the race for McHenry County Board District 3 an interesting one.

Republican newcomer Chris Christensen was placed on the ballot to replace incumbent Nick Provenzano, who stepped down earlier this month to work full time for U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren. Former Democratic County Board member Kathleen Bergan Schmidt was placed on the ballot to replace candidate Kenneth Miller, who died earlier this month.

The one incumbent on the ballot, Republican Michael Walkup, is not only running for his board seat, but also for McHenry County Board chairman, which is allowed under state law.

Along with Democratic challenger Diane Johnson, there are four candidates running for the two open seats in the district, which covers Nunda, northeastern Algonquin and southeastern McHenry townships, and includes all or parts of McHenry, Crystal Lake, Prairie Grove, Lakemoor, Holiday Hills, Island Lake, Oakwood Hills and Port Barrington.

Christensen, of rural Cary, said his position as vice president of Neis Insurance in Crystal Lake gives him a perspective that is vital to helping the County Board enact pro-business policies to help lower the county’s crushing property tax burden. Christensen, 41, served in the Army as a combat engineer and is vice president of the

Moderator works to keep control of debate

By DAVID BAUDER NEW YORK – NBC’s Lester Holt struggled to keep control of the first debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, learning the dangers of fact-checking in the midst of a tense confrontation being viewed by tens of millions of people.

The NBC News veteran was moderating his first general election debate Monday night, making him solely responsible for the questions asked each candidate and for steering the conversation. At the debate’s opening, he let

the conversation flow and the candidates go after each other.

It’s a strategy many debate moderators prefer but, in the debate’s initial stages, left him vulnerable to criticism that he had lost control of the action.

The first subject area that Holt introduced, intended to last for 15 minutes, stretched for nearly 45 minutes.

Holt challenged the candidates, particularly Trump, on factual matters as the debate went on. When the “stop-and-frisk” policy of policing was discussed, Holt told Trump that it was declared unconstitutional in New York largely because it singled out black and

Latino young men.

“No, you’re wrong,” Trump said, adding that he believed the court decision would have been overturned on appeal.

Said Holt: “The argument is that it’s a form of racial profiling.”

Trump replied: “The argument is that we have to take the guns away from the people who are bad people who shouldn’t have them.”

Holt later brought up the issue of Trump’s questioning whether President Barack Obama had been born in the United States, and asked him what made him conclude this month that

Obama was indeed a legitimate citizen.

Trump twice did not address the question.

“What do you say to American people of color...” Holt started asking, and Trump cut him off.

“I say nothing,” Trump replied.

Later, Trump disputed reports that he had expressed support for the war in Iraq, calling it a false story put out by the mainstream media. Fact checkers have accused him of not telling the truth.

Holt repeatedly tried to get the candidates to adhere to time limits that were often ignored.

taxes and how to bring good-paying jobs back to the U.S. Clinton said her Republican rival was promoting a “Trumped-up” version of trickle-down economics – a philosophy focused on tax cuts for the wealthy. She called for increasing the federal minimum wage, spending more on infrastructure projects and guaranteeing equal pay for women.

Trump panned policies that he said have led to American jobs being moved overseas, in part because of international trade agreements that Clinton has supported.

He pushed her aggressively on her past support for the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact while she was serving in the Obama administration. She’s since said she opposes the sweeping deal in its final form.

“You called it the gold standard of trade deals,” Trump said. “If you did win, you would approve that.”

Disputing his version of events, Clinton said, “I know you live in your own reality.”

Trump struggled to answer repeated questions about why he only recently acknowledged that Obama was born in the U.S. For years, Trump has been the chief promoter of questions falsely suggesting the president was

born outside of America.

“He has really started his political activity on this racist lie,” Clinton charged.

Trump also repeatedly insisted that he opposed the Iraq War before the 2003 U.S. invasion, despite evidence to the contrary. Trump was asked in September 2002 whether he supported a potential Iraq invasion in an interview with Howard Stern. He responded: “Yeah, I guess so.”

Presented with the comment during the debate, Trump responded: “I said very lightly, I don’t know, maybe, who knows.”

The Republican also appeared to contradict himself on how he might use nuclear weapons if he’s elected president. He first said he “would not do first strike” but then said he couldn’t “take anything off the table.”

Clinton said Trump was too easily provoked to serve as commander in chief and could be quickly drawn into a war involving nuclear weapons.

“A man who can be provoked by a tweet should not have his fingers anywhere near the nuclear codes,” she said.

Trump replied: “That line’s getting a little bit old.”

The Associated Press

Continued from page A3

Trump aggressively tried to turn the transparency questions around on Clinton, saying he would release his tax information when she produces more than 30,000 emails that were deleted from the personal internet server she used as secretary of state.

Trump’s criticism of Clinton turned personal in the debate’s closing moments. He said, “She doesn’t have the look, she doesn’t have the stamina” to be president. He’s made similar comments in previous events, sparking outrage from Clinton backers who accused him of leveling a sexist attack on the first woman nominated for president by a major U.S. political party.

Clinton leapt at the opportunity to remind voters of Trump’s numerous controversial comments about women, who will be crucial to the outcome of the November election.

“This is a man who has called women pigs, slobs and dogs,” she said.

The televised face-off was the most anticipated moment in an election campaign that has been both historic and unpredictable. Both sides expect-

The centerpiece of Trump’s case against Clinton was that the former senator and secretary of state is little more than a career politician who has squandered opportunities to address the domestic and international she’s now pledging to tackle as president.

“She’s got experience,” he said, “but it’s bad experience.”

Both candidates portrayed themselves as best-prepared to lead a nation where many still are struggling to benefit from a slow economic recovery and are increasingly fearful of terror threats at home and abroad.

When Trump jabbed Clinton for taking time off the campaign trail to study for the debate, she said, “I prepared to be president, and that’s a good thing.”

Trump, Clinton deny their own words in debate

By CALVIN WOODWARD The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Donald Trump’s habit of peddling hype and fabrication emerged unabated in the first presidential debate while Hillary Clinton played it cautiously in her statements, but not without error. They both denied making statements that they are on the record as saying.

A look at some of the claims in the debate and how they compare with the facts: TRUMP, denying Clinton’s accusation that he supported the Iraq war: “Wrong. Wrong.” Later: “That is a mainstream media nonsense put out by her. I was against the war in Iraq.”

THE FACTS: There is no evidence Trump expressed public opposition to the war before the U.S. invaded, despite his repeated insistence that he did. Rather, he offered lukewarm support. He only began to voice doubts about the conflict well after it began in March 2003.

His first known public comment on the topic came on Sept. 11, 2002, when he was asked whether he supported a potential Iraq invasion in an interview with radio host Howard Stern.

“Yeah, I guess so,” Trump responded.

On March 21, 2003, just days after the invasion began, Trump said it “looks like a tremendous success from a military standpoint.”

Later that year, he began voicing doubts.

avoidance efforts, exact amounts of real estate holdings and charitable donations that can’t be gleaned from any other source. For these reasons, every major party candidate for the past 40 years has released at least a few years of recent tax returns.

• • • TRUMP: President Barack Obama “has doubled [the national debt] in almost eight years. ... When we have $20 trillion in debt, and our country is a mess.”

THE FACTS: Trump’s expressed concern about the national debt obscures that his own policies would increase it by much more than Clinton’s, according to the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.

Trump’s tax cuts would increase the deficit by $5.3 trillion over 10 years, the group found, while Clinton’s proposals would boost the deficit by $200 billion. Those increases are on top of an already-projected increase of about $9 trillion over the next decade, according to the Congressional Budget Office. By 2026, debt held by the public would total $23.3 trillion under Clinton’s plans, and $28.4 trillion under Trump.

• • • CLINTON: “Independent experts have looked at what I’ve proposed and looked at what Donald’s proposed, and basically they’ve said this, that if his tax plan ...were to go into effect, we would lose 3.5 million jobs and maybe have another recession. They’ve looked at my plans and they’ve said... we will have 10 million more new jobs.”

THE FACTS: Those numbers come from one expert, Moody’s Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi, a widely respected analyst, but one who also has donated to Clinton’s campaign.

His estimate that Trump’s plan would cost 3.5 million jobs was issued in June 2016, and Trump has altered his tax cut proposals and other policies since then.

The Billings Gazette via AP

Ben Steele poses for a photo in 2015. Steele, a Bataan Death March survivor, artist and educator, died in Montana. He was 98. charcoal on the floor, and then with pencils and paper that other prisoners smuggled to him.

“I kept little scraps of paper, the inside of cigarette packages, that kind of thing,” Steele said in a 2004 interview with The Billings Gazette. His original sketches were lost.

After his liberation in 1945 and during his long recovery, he re-created sketches and made paintings depicting the march and his 3½ years as a prisoner of war in the Philippines and

scorching tropical sun.

Steele’s survival story was chronicled in the 2009 New York Times best-seller “Tears in the Darkness: The Story of the Bataan Death March and Its Aftermath,” by Michael and Elizabeth Norman.

An Ohio teenager, Lexi Winkelfoos, traveled to Montana twice to visit Steele after reading the book for a history project when she was a sophomore.

“I just wanted to know that he was happy after everything he had been through,” Winkelfoos said during her second visit last year.

Steele continued to paint into his late 90s.

“Many times he would draw the same image over and over as if exorcising it from his conscience,” Brandon Reintjes, curator at the Montana Museum of Art and Culture at the University of Montana told the Gazette last year. “He has a nearly photographic memory and these events are indelibly embedded in his mind.”

His powerful sketches and paintings of his time in captivity are housed at the university museum in Missoula.

“I kind of felt an obligation to the guys who went through that, to illustrate what went on over there,” Steele said. “I wanted to tell the story.”

A memorial service is scheduled at 1:30 p.m. Oct. 4 at Montana Pavilion at MetraPark.

Jewish WWII ‘Avenger’ Joseph Harmatz dead at 91

By ARON HELLER

The Associated Press TEL AVIV, Israel – Holocaust survivor Joseph Harmatz, who led the most daring attempt by Jews seeking revenge against their former Nazi tormentors, has died. He was 91.

His son, Ronel Harmatz, confirmed the death Monday.

Harmatz was one of the few remaining Jewish “Avengers” who carried out a mass poisoning of former SS officers in an American prisoner-of-war camp in 1946 that sickened more than 2,200 Germans, but caused no known deaths. Still, the message echoed into a rallying cry for the newborn state of Israel – that the days when attacks on Jews went unanswered were over.

Harmatz, who was born in Lithuania and lost most of

Joseph Harmatz sits during an interview with The Associated Press on May 23 at his apartment in Tel Aviv, Israel. Harmatz, a Holocaust survivor who led the most daring attempt of Jews to seek revenge against their former Nazi tormentors, has died. He was 91. his family in the Holocaust, spoke to The Associated Press shortly before his death and remained unapologetic for his actions and those of his

group Nakam, Hebrew for vengeance.

“We didn’t understand why it shouldn’t be paid back,” he said.

Despite a visceral desire for vengeance, most Holocaust survivors were too weary or devastated to seriously consider it, after their world was shattered and 6 million Jews were killed during World War II. But his group of some 50, most young men and women who had already fought in the resistance, could not let the crimes go unpunished and actively sought to exact at least a small measure of revenge.

Undercover members of the group found work at a bakery that supplied the Stalag 13 POW camp at Langwasser, near Nuremberg, and waited for their chance to strike the thousands of SS men the Americans held there.

It came on April 13, 1946, when three members spent two hours coating some 3,000 loaves of bread with arsenic, divided into four portions. The

goal was to kill 12,000 SS personnel, and Harmatz oversaw the operation from outside the bakery.

In a story published last month, Harmatz told the AP the goal was simple.

“Kill Germans,” he said flatly.

How many?

“As many as possible,” he quickly replied.

A recently declassified U.S. military report obtained by the AP only added to the mystery of why the operation did not kill Nazis, because it shows the amount of arsenic used should have been fatal to tens of thousands.

After the war, Harmatz, who went by the nickname Julek, immigrated to Israel, where he worked at the Jewish Agency and was director general of World ORT, a Jewish educational organization.

BILLINGS, Mont. – Ben Steele’s hold on his sanity as a prisoner of war after surviving the Bataan Death March relied on hidden scraps of paper, stolen pieces of charcoal and his artist’s memory of scenes from his home in Montana.

“I used to dream about Montana more than anything else, more than I did food – and I used to dream about food all the time,” Steele once said.

“I was awful sick and I thought I was going crazy, so I had to do something to occupy my mind,” he said.

Steele, a former art professor, died Sunday in Billings with his wife, Shirley, and daughters, Julie Jorgenson and Rosemarie Steele, at his side.

He had been in hospice care for more than a year and succumbed to an infection, Julie Jorgenson said. He was 98.

Many people knew Steele’s stories from World War II and what he endured as a prisoner, but “it’s his personality, his warm caring personality that made people love him,” Jorgenson said. “His students would come up to me and say, ‘Ben and I have a special bond.’ But he made everyone feel special.”

During the war, other prisoners saw what he was doing and suggested he draw what he saw around him. He created depictions of life in the camp in

Japan.

He said the artwork helped him deal with the suffering he endured and the faces of the dead and dying he saw in his mind’s eye. Steele was bayoneted, starved and beaten and suffered dysentery, malaria, pneumonia and septicemia. He lost 80 pounds.

“I had lots of problems to work through,” he said in 2004, “and the doctors thought the art was a good idea.”

Steele became an art professor at Eastern Montana College, which later became Montana State University-Billings.

He said he learned to forgive his Japanese captors because of his relationship with Harry Koyama, an art student of Japanese heritage who took courses from him.

“He’s been a part of my life since I met him in college in the 1960s,” Koyama, a western artist with a gallery in Billings, said about Steele. “That’s even more of a humbling experience to know that I had not just an effect, but a positive effect on his life.”

Steele was born on Nov. 17, 1917, in the small Montana town of Roundup and grew up riding horses, roping cattle and occasionally delivering supplies to western artist Will James.

He was a U.S. Army Air Corps private in the Philippines when the Japanese captured his unit in 1942 during World War II. Thousands of soldiers died during the 66-mile march under a

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Size up your relationships with others and consider how you can make positive improvements. Equality will be an important factor when dealing with both personal and professional partnerships. Keeping the peace is commendable, but not emotionally healthy. Speak up and level the playing field in order to gain respect.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Until the time is right, don’t divulge information that can help you control a situation. Getting angry and overreacting will not encourage others to support your plans.

Observe and learn.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Personal improvements will boost your confidence. Whether you

change your lifestyle or your physical appearance, it will give you the push you need to excel in all aspects of life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Don’t sit still when there is so much you can accomplish.

Prepare to take action and pursue your goals. A business trip or meeting will pay off.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Don’t mess with the rules or regulations, especially while traveling or dealing with institutions or government agencies. Stick to what you know, and don’t assume anything. Avoid indulgent tendencies.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Share your concerns and find out where you stand. Refuse to let anyone pressure you into something that doesn’t interest you. Avoid donating to something you know little about.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – A former co-worker will have a solution to a problem you are facing with an authoritative individual. Plan your actions carefully before you make your move.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Take the plunge and do something you’ve been thinking about for some time. Set a reasonable goal. Success will lead to opportunity, but shortsightedness will hold you back.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Get involved in the game of life. Attend events that will bring you in contact with people from different backgrounds.

Romance is encouraged and will improve your personal life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Stick close to home and the people you can trust. An older relative or a youngster in your life may cause you grief. Do

not give in to pressure. Do what’s best for you and your family.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You should mix business with pleasure in order to impress an influential person. Networking and finding unique ways to improve your skills and other attributes will position you for advancement.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Get together with people you can learn from, and share ideas. Endeavor to build confidence among your peers. A carefully executed plan will lead to an unexpected and welcome proposal.

Chicago teachers vote to authorize strike

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Teachers in the nation’s third-largest school district announced Monday that they have overwhelming support for a strike, but several steps remain before a possible walkout could take place next month.

About 95 percent of the Chicago Teachers Union’s voting members favored the strike authorization after several days of high-turnout voting last week. The support was widely expected; about 88 percent supported a strike during a similar vote in December.

To strike, the union needs 75 percent support and must provide school officials 10 days’ notice. CTU’s governing board meets Wednesday to determine next steps. If board members decide to give notice, the earliest possible first day of a strike would be Oct. 11.

Union officials said the vote should come as “no surprise” to school officials or parents, citing cuts in the cashstrapped school district.

Study: Video gaming has generated about $785M in Illinois

CARBONDALE – Data from industry experts and the state of Illinois show video gaming has generated about $785 million in state and local tax revenue since the machines were legalized four years ago.

The Southern Illinoisan reported that the number of establishments in Illinois that allow the machines has grown as well – with 5,600 businesses having machines.

Illinois Gaming Machine Operators Association officials said the state brings in more than $22 million a month in taxes from gaming that is meant to support capital infrastructure projects.

The association’s president, Michael Gelatka, said the

Victim of shooting on U of I campus was set to start nursing job

CHAMPAIGN – A suburban Chicago man shot dead as he was walking by a fight on the University of Illinois campus over the weekend was to start a career as a registered nurse on Monday.

George Korchev, 22, of Mundelein, was killed early Sunday in one of a pair of shootings in Champaign. He was shot when a fight broke out at a party on campus where three others suffered noncritical wounds, while a fourth person was shot and injured a half-hour later a

few blocks west of campus.

Police said the two shootings may be related and that none of the victims, who include a University of Illinois student, was involved in the violence. Officers are searching for suspects.

Korchev recently passed his nursing board exam, said officials with Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, where Korchev was a patient care tech.

“George was a valuable team member who was loved by his patients and known as a skilled, empathetic and selfless caregiver,” said the hospital’s president, Dominica Tallarico.

Donation lifts fundraising caps in comptroller race

CHICAGO – A $260,000 donation to Illinois Comptroller Leslie Munger’s campaign has lifted the caps on political contributions and guarantees a big-money race between the Republican incumbent and Democratic challenger Susana Mendoza.

CTU staged a one-day walkout in April, but the last major strike was during the last round of contract negotiations in 2012.

Teachers picketed for seven days over evaluations, job security and classroom conditions – Chicago’s first teachers’ strike in 25 years.

CPS spokeswoman Emily Bittner said a strike can be averted.

“A strike is a very serious step that affects the lives of thousands of parents and children, and we hope that before taking the final steps toward a strike, the CTU’s leadership works hard at the bargaining table to reach a fair deal,” Bittner said in a statement.

The vote comes as the approximately 400,000-student district is experiencing serious financial problems. Credit rating agencies have put the district at “junk” status. The district’s $5.4 billion budget relies on increased property taxes, borrowing and $215 million in state money contingent on a statewide pension overhaul.

Schools CEO Forrest Claypool has said that if the state doesn’t come through, the district will have to cut money from classrooms.

The loan is from Munger’s husband, attorney John Munger, according to an Illinois State Board of Elections filing late last week. State campaign finance law limits donations, but it also says that if a candidate or family member contributes more than $250,000 to his or her own race, the limits come off for all candidates.

The move comes as millions of dollars are being funneled into Illinois legislative races, and Republicans are outspending Democrats for the first time in recent history. Backed by a wealthy governor, Republicans are trying to break Democratic supermajorities in the House and Senate.

With no caps, Republicans and Democrats are sure to pour resources into the race. The role of the comptroller, who writes the state’s checks, has taken on more prominence during the state’s budget stalemate because the office gets to prioritize who gets paid and who has to wait.

More time granted to convene Laquan McDonald grand jury

CHICAGO – Plans have been delayed to ask a grand jury to consider charges against Chicago police in the Laquan McDonald case.

Special prosecutor Patricia Brown Holmes received more time Monday to prepare. A judge in the case hoped to empanel a grand jury Monday, but WLS-TV reported that Holmes needs time to collect the thousands of pages of documents in the case. She said she hopes she can present evidence to grand jurors by the end of the year.

A white Chicago police officer has pleaded not guilty to murder charges in the black teenager’s October 2014 shooting death.

Officer Jason Van Dyke is accused of shooting the teen 16 times.

Holmes was appointed in July to investigate whether there was a possible police cover-up in the case.

Police: Houston gunman had 2 weapons, thousands of rounds

By JUAN A. LOZANO The Associated Press

HOUSTON – A disgruntled lawyer wearing military-style apparel with old Nazi emblems had two weapons and more than 2,500 rounds of live ammunition when he randomly shot at drivers in a Houston neighborhood Monday before he was shot and killed by police, authorities said.

Nine people were injured during the morning shootings on the street in front of a condo complex; six were shot, and three had eye injuries from flying glass. One person was in critical condition and another in serious condition, officials said.

Houston Homicide Capt. Dwayne Ready and interim Police Chief Martha Montalvo did not identify the man and did not have information about a motive. A bomb squad robot examined a Porsche that police said belonged to the gunman; Texas motor vehicle records in a commercially available database showed the car is licensed to Nathan DeSai at an address in the condo complex.

The property manager of the condo complex also confirmed that police were going through DeSai’s residence, where Ready said vintage military items dating to the Civil War and other guns were found in the man’s apartment.

Authorities first received reports of the shootings about 6:30 a.m., and the man began firing at officers when they arrived. The man had two legally purchased guns – a .45-caliber semi-automatic handgun and a semi-automatic rifle commonly known as a Tommy gun – and an unsheathed knife, Ready said.

He also noted that there were 75 spent casings at the scene, which were from officers and the gunman.

Ready said nine officers – five with the

Houston Police Department and four with two other local agencies – “engaged the suspect who was shooting randomly at passers-by as well as anybody he could put his sights on.”

During the shootout, one driver was shot and one of the officers “left cover to take that citizen to safety while the other officers engaged the subject,” he said.

Mayor Sylvester Turner told KTRK-TV in Houston that DeSai was a lawyer who was “disgruntled” and was “either fired or had a bad relationship with this law firm.” But DeSai’s former law partner, Kenneth McDaniel, disputed that assertion, saying they jointly closed their 12-year-old law firm in February because of economic conditions related to Houston’s energy industry downturn.

McDaniel also said he hadn’t had contact with DeSai lately and that police called him Monday morning to check on his safety, although they didn’t explain why.

“He went his way with his practice, and I went with mine,” McDaniel said, adding, “All I can say it’s a horrible situation. I’m sad for everyone involved.”

Calls placed to phone numbers connected to DeSai and his father were not immediately answered. DeSai’s father, Prakash DeSai, told KTRK that his son lived in the condo complex and drove a black Porsche. He also said his son, whom he saw Sunday, was upset because “his law practice is not going well” and stayed upset “because of his personal problems.”

Perrye Turner, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Houston Division, said officials don’t believe the incident is tied to terrorism.

The entrance to the condo complex, which is in southwest Houston near the affluent enclave of West University Place, was blocked off with police tape late Monday morning.

Several cars with bullet holes and shattered windows were at a nearby strip mall.

Body cam use questioned after Charlotte killings

By EMERY P. DALESIO, JONATHAN DREW and MEG KINNARD The Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The fatal shooting of a black man by a police officer in Charlotte is only the latest shooting to raise questions about how the department uses body cameras.

Six people were fatally shot since body cameras were given to all patrol officers about a year ago. But the officers who fired the fatal shots in five of those cases – including Keith Lamont Scott’s – weren’t using the cameras.

The weekend release of police footage showing the shooting of Scott left questions in many people’s minds – including whether he was holding a gun. Scott’s family said he didn’t have a weapon. The footage includes body camera video from another officer, but not the black officer who fatally wounded Scott.

The gun recovered at the scene of Scott’s shooting had been stolen and later sold to Scott, a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police source told The Associated Press on Monday. The source insisted on speaking anonymously because the State Bureau of Investigation continues to look into the case. SBI Agent Erik Hooks declined to comment when asked whether the gun was stolen.

Scott’s family and advocacy groups complain that the department divulged only about three minutes of footage from two cameras. They have urged the police department to release all other video footage it has, as well as audio recordings of communications that could clarify how the situation unfolded. A media coalition also is requesting more footage.

Police Chief Kerr Putney has said the officer who shot Scott wasn’t wearing a body camera that day because he is part of a tactical unit.

“Our tactical units don’t all have body-worn cameras at this point,” Putney told reporters Saturday, adding that they are to receive them in the

Protesters take a knee outside Bank of America Stadium as the national anthem is sung before Sunday’s football game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, N.C. future. He said he previously was reluctant to make officers in high-risk operations wear cameras showing tactics and locations.

The department said plainclothes officers who saw Scott with a gun and marijuana left the area to put on vests identifying them as police before confronting him.

If the officers “had the foresight to put on their police vest, why did you not put on your body cam?” asked Corine Mack, president of the Charlotte NAACP chapter.

Susanna Birdsong, a legal policy expert for the American Civil Liberties Union, questioned whether the department is violating its own body camera policy instituted in April 2015.

The policy, according to the department’s site, states that the cameras must be activated in situations including arrests and encounters with suspicious people. It doesn’t address whether tactical units must wear them.

Referring to the Scott case and others, Mack said she is angry not all units

People want to know why we don’t trust the police department?”

have the cameras yet.

“It speaks to the culture of the police department that even when policies and procedures are put in place, that they feel they don’t have to follow them,” she said. “This is serious, that there is no record of a life being taken. ... People want to know why we don’t trust the police department?”

In three previous cases from December and January, the Mecklenburg County district attorney cleared officers who killed suspects who fired

shots first. In one case, an officer wasn’t wearing a body camera because he was working off-duty security in uniform at a mall. A second case involved a tactical unit not equipped with body cameras. Footage existed in the third case but was poor quality, authorities said.

An April case being reviewed by the SBI involved SWAT members – one of the Charlotte units that hasn’t worn body cameras. A June case involved patrol officers, but multiple media outlets reported that the officers were not using body cameras.

Charlotte police didn’t respond to an email Monday asking about these cases.

Putney said Saturday that he released portions of video pertinent to the shooting and hoped to release the rest after a State Bureau of Investigation probe. But he acknowledged that a new state law taking effect Oct. 1 will likely require a judge’s approval for further releases of footage.

Justin Bamberg, a Scott family attorney, said remaining video is vital to understanding exactly what transpired in a very short time.

“It is clear from the videos released that in the moments leading up to the shooting, Mr. Scott was non-aggressive, had his hands down by his side, appeared confused, and was passively walking backwards,” Bamberg said.

Geoff Alpert, a professor at the University of South Carolina, said that while body camera footage isn’t always conclusive, authorities should lean toward releasing it.

“Unless there’s a really compelling reason that should be explained, I don’t know why they wouldn’t release the video ... as they capture it,” Alpert said. “This is public safety, and keeping things from us doesn’t seem to be the appropriate way to move forward.”

Reda Burch, who stopped Sunday by a makeshift memorial near where Scott died, said she has watched the police videos but that authorities should release what other footage they have.

The Associated Press CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – Facing their second-largest flood in city history, Cedar Rapids leaders and residents pinned their hopes Monday on a 10mile system of quickly erected flood barriers to protect government buildings, homes and businesses in Iowa’s second-largest city.

Crews scrambled to build the floodwall over the weekend to block the rapidly rising Cedar River because, despite years of discussions, officials haven’t been able to secure funding for permanent flood barriers after a devastating flood in 2008.

“The city had eight years to do this but decided to throw up a temporary system in three days,” said Jim Soukup, 30, who sat on a pile of sandbags outside his parents’ home in the Czech Village neighborhood, which was largely empty after thousands of residents heeded a voluntary evacuation ahead of the river’s anticipated crest on Tuesday.

Soukup said he and his father would guard the home – which had several feet of flood water in 2008 – to avoid the prospect of looting.

The river is already in major flood stage, rising past 20 feet on Monday. It was expected to crest at 23 feet, which is 8 feet below the 2008 flood that devastated wide swaths of the city of 130,000 people.

Mayor Ron Corbett said 9.8 miles of Hesco barriers and earthen berms – which the city didn’t have in 2008 – have been erected throughout the city.

As a secondary line of defense, more than 250,000 sandbags had been piled

up around property.

“If it works, we will save the city,” Corbett said.

City leaders plan to closely monitor the flood system, noting that any breaches could cause water to quickly gush into areas and cause problems for residents who don’t evacuate. Authorities said more than half of the 5,800 properties in the evacuation zone had been evacuated by Sunday, and the area had a ghost-town feel by Monday afternoon.

The city had time to prepare because forecasters have been warning of the floods since last week, following heavy rainfall to the north. City leaders said they believed the system would greatly minimize the damage.

But they’ve struggled to secure funding for a better flood protection system for low-lying areas. Residents voted down a sales tax increase that would have helped pay for it years ago.

Now the city is waiting on Congress to authorize and appropriate the federal share of a plan to build a permanent flood system along with investments from the state and the city. City Manager Jeff Pomeranz said lobbying for the federal money is a top priority and the project will be critical to the city’s future. Iowa’s members of Congress are expected to push for the financing in the coming days.

Still, retired plumber James Adair, 78, said he was frustrated the city had secured money to rebuild many parts of downtown but still lacked flood protection. He spent $65,000 rebuilding his flood-damaged home after the 2008 flood.

“If we get flooded again, I am leaving,” he said. “The city should have gotten the river under control by now.”

ANOTHER VIEW

The price of pain in U.S.

There is big money in pain, which is why the makers of prescription painkillers seem so interested in ensuring that doctors keep prescribing opioids despite an addiction crisis that has claimed 165,000 lives in the United States since 2000.

An investigation by The Associated Press and the Center for Public Integrity showed even as drug makers claim to be fighting the prescription drug epidemic, they are using a 50-state strategy and handing out millions of dollars in campaign donations to weaken or outright kill legislation to limit the use of drugs such as OxyContin, Vicodin and fentanyl.

The AP and the center found that between 2006 and 2015, Big Pharma spent more than $880 million nationwide on lobbying and campaign contributions. That was far more than advocates for a crackdown on prescription drugs could spend; it dwarfed what the gun lobby doled out over the same period.

The findings mirror reporting since 2011 by the Journal Sentinel’s John Fauber and MedPage Today, which found money from drug makers was a pervasive influence.

The solution is for legislators and physicians to show courage in the face of these pressures. Legislators and Congress should take appropriate action to ensure the drugs are available to those who need them but aren’t overprescribed. And physicians, knowing the risk, should be more reticent in prescribing these drugs.

There is plenty of evidence doctors have been overprescribing.

Sales of prescription opioids rose fourfold from 1999 to 2010, the investigation found. Purdue Pharma, which makes OxyContin, had about $2.4 billion in sales from opioids last year alone, AP and the center report. And, all the while, deaths by overdose rose.

Opioids undoubtedly have a place in a sensible medical landscape, especially for cancer patients or end-of-life care. But studies show little evidence that opioids are effective for treating routine chronic pain. One study cited by the AP and the center from a hospital system in Pennsylvania found that about 40 percent of chronic non-cancer pain patients who received opioids showed signs of addiction.

“You can create an awful lot of harm with seven days of opioid therapy,” David Juurlink, a toxicology expert at the University of Toronto, told reporters. “You can send people down the pathway to addiction when they never would have been sent there otherwise.”

Lawmakers and physicians need to confront this scourge.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Race, speech and football protests Six members of Rock Island High’s football team have seized their First Amendment rights and taken a knee. And, like any good protest, it divided the community and this editorial board.

Athletes throughout the country have started using the pre-game national anthem ritual as a moment to highlight racial inequality, a movement instigated by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

Some have sat. Others kneel.

The more optimistic have joined arms or raised their fists.

Through the simple act of kneeling, a handful of black Rock Island teenagers not only expressed their disaffection but did so through sport, a time-honored tradition. Muhammad Ali wasn’t just a fighter. Jackie Robinson wasn’t just a baseball player. For decades, athletics have played an instrumental role in foisting contentious social issues onto a public that would just as soon ignore them.

The protests, one could argue, are that which have made sport relevant beyond a pastime.

But, as with this editorial

board, the reactions ran the spectrum from frustration to full-throated support.

The protests saddened one member of the editorial board, who considered it an unnecessary sacrifice of celebrating the best of the U.S. in order to highlight its ills. Another was ready to kneel alongside with the players in solidarity. Black Lives Matter critics demanded peaceful, non-destructive protests, he argued. Well, they got it here.

And it all comes as unrest grips Charlotte and Tulsa following two more police shootings of black men.

Seeking common ground, we debated. We sniped. Tempers flared. Statistics about police shootings were cited. So, too, were opinions about respect for law enforcement and for those who risked their lives for this country.

When it all was said and done, we agreed that, above all else, free speech is the very foundation of any free society.

There are no legal protections from being offended. In reality,

the most successful protests do offend because they hit home the hardest.

Right or wrong, these high school students are speaking to a belief that people are targeted by society solely because of the color of their skin. Theirs is a complaint that’s reverberated through black America for decades. Both major political parties have recognized the failings of disproportionate policing and are rolling back draconian, targeted drug laws.

Locally, police agencies and politicians are improving outreach. But more must be done.

There’s a reason black Americans are taking to streets in protest. There’s a reason lawmakers are dismantling the War On Drugs. There’s a reason police agencies are reinventing their approach to their craft.

There’s a reason six black teenagers from Rock Island felt the need to defy the most hallowed patriotic convention to be heard.

They have our attention. Now let’s hash it out.

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.

Trans-Pacific Partnership vital to success of Illinois farmers

To the Editor: As a farmer in Kane County, I know just how important it is to find new markets for the corn and livestock farmers grow in this area. That’s why we need our leaders in Washington to support trade agreements such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

TPP is a trade agreement between the United States and 11 countries along the Pacific Rim, representing 40 percent of the world’s economy. It will break down trade barriers and allow farmers in Illinois to compete on a level playing field in one of the world’s fastest-growing regions.

America’s farmers and ranchers produce the best beef, pork, dairy and corn in the world. Yet we are losing market share to competitors in the Asia-Pacific region, because we don’t compete on a level playing field. Other countries, such as China, are negotiating trade agree-

VIEWS Rich Miller lies, the far right Illinois Policy Institute, is producing a campaign-style “documentary” about Madigan, just like similar dark money groups in D.C. have been churning out nauseatingly for years.

It’s no surprise this movie fits in neatly with Rauner’s entire campaign strategy.

Since early June, the Republicans have aired millions of dollars worth of television and radio ads and sent out countless mailers all designed to tie Democratic legislators and candidates to Madigan.

Almost every dime of their funding for those attacks has come from Rauner (and yet, Rauner repeatedly has insisted that he’s not involved, other than to write a few checks).

It’s all one big thing. All Madigan, all the time.

And while Rauner has brought D.C.’s never-ending campaign to Illinois’ executive branch, he also has a similarly tiny list of accomplishments to show for it. His administration so far has been little more than a frantic exercise in treading water until his chief nemesis finally can be vanquished, or at least brought to heel.

ments without us. Without TPP, trade conditions will only get worse.

Illinois agriculture is already a success story, bringing millions in economic activity and supporting thousands of jobs. Let’s keep growing together by removing trade barriers and expanding our access to foreign markets. Please join me in telling Sens. Mark Kirk, and Dick Durbin and Rep. Randy Hultgren to pass TPP in 2016.

No Christian Democrats

To the Editor: There is no such thing as a Christian Democrat.

The Rev. Scott K Barrettsmith Sr. Spring Grove

Better off than 8 years ago

To the Editor: Are you better off now than eight years

But this isn’t a completely new development. We’re already familiar with some of this in Illinois.

Madigan has been doing something similar for years, albeit on a much smaller, less obviously dramatic, less technologically advanced and less expensive scale.

His House chamber’s agenda is almost entirely organized around making sure Madigan gets his more vulnerable incumbents reelected. And those vulnerable members are advised to take whatever positions are necessary to win reelection (including fanning the already intense flames of hate against Madigan’s home town of Chicago). There was a time when Madigan had a specific “theme” for each legislative week, only voting on bills that matched the weekly issue.

He even at one point tried his hand at (ahem) publishing a Statehouse newsletter.

Madigan has refused to discuss any significant deal on the governor’s Turnaround Agenda, sticking closely to his talking points that Rauner is “operating in the extreme,” even though Madigan often has supported legislation in the past unions didn’t love.

Madigan won’t budge this time because Rauner’s overt hostility has sent all those unions running to the speaker with wide open checkbooks

and huge lists of precinct workers.

There’s simply no political advantage to compromise, unless Rauner’s gamble pays off and he successfully makes Madigan the big issue of the year and Madigan loses a bunch of seats.

Otherwise, we may not see a deal during the “lame duck” session after the election and the impasse will likely drag on. If there is no progress, Rauner undoubtedly will make his entire 2018 reelection campaign about Madigan. But next time, it won’t be a few tens of millions of dollars like this year. It’ll be real money. Maybe $100 million.

And, unless Hillary Clinton manages to lose the presidential race, the governor’s reelection campaign will occur during yet another Democratic midterm election, which will make it that much easier to get his anti-Madigan message through to voters. (One of Rauner’s many valid and understandable reasons for refusing to give any overt public aid or comfort to Trump is a Trump win would devastate Rauner’s reelection chances.)

This battered, much-maligned state shouldn’t have to endure this agony, but here we are, like it or not.

Since his inauguration, Gov. Bruce Rauner consciously has aped Washington, D.C.’s notoriously noxious battle to “win” the daily media spin cycle. Rauner has a set base of talking points based on tried and true poll-tested topics, and he rarely, if ever, deviates.

While Chicago suffered through its most violent summer in decades, the governor routinely focused his public comments on term limits – a not-so-subtle dig at the horribly unpopular House Speaker Michael Madigan’s decades-long tenure, but an issue without hope of passage and irrelevant to some very serious and immediate crises, like the one pumelling our state’s largest city.

More bad economic or fiscal news?

Rauner reliably trots out a vague promise of “reforms” – swearing the Democratic leaders have promised to take them up just as soon as the campaign is over, even though his reforms would mean eviscerating the Democrats’ chief political allies (labor unions and trial lawyers) and Senate President John Cullerton has denied any such offer was ever made.

The nuclear dumpster fire that is the presidential campaign? The governor says he is simply too focused on reforming Illinois to care, or even to share whom he might be voting for.

‘Pokemon Go’ fervor cools; game isn’t dead yet

By MAE ANDERSON

cessful games such as “Clash of Clans,” ‘’Puzzle” and “Dragon” to earn revenue of $1 billion, but “Pokemon Go” has already made more than $500 million in revenue in two months alone, according to App Annie. The game is free but lets users buy items in the game.

The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Does “Pokemon Go” have a second act?

The mobile phone app was an instant hit when it debuted in July.

Crowds stampeded after a Vaporeon in Central Park and people fell off cliffs playing it in California.

At an Apple event Sept. 7, Niantic CEO John Hanke said 500 million people had downloaded the game in just two months. It was the first mobile game to go mainstream in a big way since “Candy Crush” in 2014 or “Angry Birds” in 2012. It also was the first to incorporate augmented reality, a blending of the real and virtual worlds.

But the buzz has decidedly cooled.

Last Tuesday, the game ended its reign as the top-grossing U.S. iPhone app after 74 days on top, replaced by “Clash Royale,” a popular battling game, according to research firm Sensor Tower.

Twitter mentions of the game peaked at 1.7 million on July 11, five days after its launch, according to Adobe Digital Insights. That number had fallen by 98 percent, to 131,000, by Sept. 7, when Apple featured it.

Was it all a summer fever dream?

While experts say the game is likely to remain popular for a while, it needs to evolve to have real staying power – just like its namesake digital creatures.

“Almost anything of this sort is a fad,” said Steve Jones, a communications professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. “I think we’ve seen the tapering off.”

‘POKEMON GO’ EVOLUTION

AP file photo

“Pokemon Go” players begin a group walk July 20 along the Embarcadero in San Francisco. “Pokemon Go” was an instant hit when it debuted in July, as millions of people discovered augmented reality and joined stampedes from Central Park to Sydney capturing Pokemon via their phones. But as the hype subsides, what’s next for the game?

DOWN BUT NOT OUT

Of course, an enormous number of people still play the game. Research firm App Annie estimates that 1 in 10 smartphone owners in the U.S. are playing; in Japan, that number is 1 in 4. Those U.S. figures are half what App Annie saw the week after the game launched – but to put them in perspective, they still reflect roughly the same user interest as Twitter or Pinterest.

“Pokemon Go” has also been good at keeping people playing after signing up.

Its 30-day retention rate is the second

best on the Google Play store – behind “Words with Friends,” but ahead of other popular games such as “Clash of Clans” and “Clash Royale.”

“For a gaming app to be as big as a social network is unprecedented,” said Fabien-Pierre Nicolas, a spokesman at App Annie. “Right now, yes, they’re losing a million players every week. But they get a million new players every week.”

The longer users interact with the game, the more time a company has to figure out how to get money from them, Nicolas said. It took a year for some suc-

But with social chatter dying down and a new smartphone game based on a beloved 1990s character – “Super Mario Run” – hitting app stores in December, Pokemon will have to reinvent itself.

Kari Amarosso, a public relations manager at Arizona State University, started playing “Pokemon Go” with her 19-year-old son as a fun mother-son summer activity sparked by 1990s Pokemoncard nostalgia. They’d go to the mall or to meetups such as one in Tempe, Arizona, where thousands of people walked around Tempe Town Lake capturing digital monsters.

But the allure wore off after about six weeks, she said. “I lost interest or just plain forgot to play,” she says – and her son has stopped as well. “His route doesn’t change much from work, to home, and he lost interest.”

Niantic has been trying to freshen things up. In September it introduced a “buddy” system, allowing users to pair up with a Pokemon to scoop up game currency called “candy.” It has also debuted an Apple Watch app and introduced a $35 wearable device, Pokemon Go Plus, which lights up and vibrates when you’re near a Pokestop or a newly appeared Pokemon. Niantic did not respond to a request for comment.

Actors Judi Dench (left) and Dustin Hoffman pose for photographers Nov. 12, 2014, upon arrival at the screening of “Roald Dahl’s Esio Trot: Deleted Scenes” in London. The pair are nominated for International Emmys for their roles in the BBC One TV movie.

Dustin Hoffman, Judi Dench receive Int’l Emmy nominations NEW YORK – Dustin Hoffman and Judi Dench received International Emmy nominations Monday for their roles in the BBC One TV movie “Roald Dahl’s Esio Trot.”

Brazil had a leading seven nominations, followed by Britain with six, including best actor and actress for Hoffman and Dench.

The two Oscar-winning acting veterans were honored for their roles in “Esio Trot,” based on Dahl’s children’s novel about a lonely aging bachelor who tries to woo the widow in the flat below, who is overly fond of her pet tortoise.

Germany had five nominations, including best TV movie/miniseries and best actor (Florian Stetter) for “Nackt Unter Wolfen (Naked Among Wolves),” an adaptation of the novel by East German author Bruno Apitz about prisoners in the Buchenwald concentration camp who risk their lives to hide a Polish-Jewish boy. Canada and South Korea each had three nominations, while Argentina, France and the Philippines had two apiece.

The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences said 40 nominees from 15 countries will be competing in 10 categories for the International Emmys, which honor excellence in TV programming outside the U.S. The awards will be presented Nov. 21 at a gala at the Hilton New York Hotel hosted by Alan Cumming.

Brazilian nominees include Alexandre Nero (best actor) for “A Regra do Jogo (Rules of the Game)” and Grazi Massafera (best actress) for “Verdades Secretas (Hidden Truths),” “Zorra (The Mess)” in the comedy category and “Adotada” for nonscripted entertainment.

NEW YORK – Variety will host a conference of film executives and stars to discuss solutions to Hollywood’s lagging record in diversity.

The conference, which Variety announced Monday, will include keynote conversations with Donna Langley, chairman of Universal Studios, and Pharrell Williams. The singer-producer is co-composing the score for the upcoming “Hidden Figures,” a film about African-American mathematicians working for NASA in the early 1960s.

Dubbed “Inclusion,” the conference is to be held Nov. 1 in Beverly Hills, California. It will include a number of panels focused on finding ways to support underrepresented groups in film and television.

“There is no issue in Hollywood more important and relevant than diversity and inclusion,” Michelle Sobrino-Stearns, group publisher of Variety, said in a statement.

Age discrimination also is a planned discussion topic at the conference, co-sponsored by AARP. As a way to combat age discrimination, California Gov. Jerry Brown on Saturday signed legislation to require websites such as IMDb to remove an actor’s age upon request.

Scorsese’s ‘Silence’ to get Oscar-qualifying release

NEW YORK – Martin Scorsese’s “Silence,” a historical drama about faith in feudal Japan, will open in time to qualify for the Academy Awards.

Paramount Pictures said Monday that

“Silence” will open in limited release Dec. 23 with a nationwide expansion to follow sometime in January.

Whether the film, a decades-long passion project for Scorsese, would be ready in time for release this year had been a major question mark in Hollywood’s awards season. Scorsese’s last two feature films, “The Wolf of Wall Street” and “Hugo,” collected a total of 16 Oscar nominations.

“Silence,” which stars Andrew Garfield, Adam Driver and Liam Neeson, is based on Shusaku Endo’s 1966 novel. It’s about two Portuguese Jesuit missionaries traveling to 17th-century Japan to spread Christianity and find their missing mentor.

The iPhone 7 is just fine, even if it doesn’t wow

By ANICK JESDANUN

third-party headsets might be able to offer advanced features such as noise cancellation without needing a separate battery.

AirPods will work with older iPhones once they get the free iOS 10 software upgrade. Connect them once, and they’ll work on iPads and Macs on the same iCloud account, too.

Although the iPhone 7 was available Sept. 16, AirPods won’t come out until late October.

The Associated Press

TIBURON, Calif. – Apple’s new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are clearly improvements on their predecessors – even if the biggest change is actually an omission (of the traditional headphone jack). But are they improved enough to justify an upgrade?

If you’re an iPhone user, it may depend on how long you’ve held onto your current iPhone. If you’re a proud owner of the iPhone 6S or its plus-sized cousin, you probably don’t need to rush out for the 7. But the 7 includes enough cumulative iPhone improvements from the past two years to tempt anyone still clinging to an older model.

For instance, the iPhone 7 is seriously water resistant; putting it under a faucet for a few minutes merely muffled the speakers and made the touch screen stop working until I dried it off. It’s got louder speakers, a brighter screen and, in the larger 7 Plus, a second camera lens – a low-powered but useful zoom. Add to that a sharper 12 megapixel camera introduced with the 6S. All iPhone 7 models come with twice the storage as the comparable 6S, at mostly the same price. That’s “mostly” because the $769 starting price for the larger iPhone 7 Plus is $20 more than comparable past models. The regular iPhone 7 stays at $649.

Both entry-level phones now have 32 gigabytes rather than 16.

Listening wired ...

Without the traditional headphone jack, wired headphones plug into the Lightning port normally used for charging. But the jack’s disappearance doesn’t present the problem you might expect, given that iPhone 7 comes with a 3-inch-long adapter for your old headphones. A replacement costs $9 if you lose it (I’ve misplaced one already in less than a week).

To charge your phone while listening, you need a $99 battery case or a third-party adapter. Neither is included. Also, your iPhone 7 headphones won’t work with any other device that uses the old-fashioned jack.

... and unwired

Of course, you can just go wireless, as Apple would love you to do. Its upcoming $159 AirPods are two tiny inch-and-a-half Bluetooth earpieces designed to integrate with Apple’s software. Setting them up involves

Better images

While smartphone cameras long have offered zooming, these typically are done with software tricks that degrade image quality. The iPhone 7 Plus has a second lens that offers 2X optical zoom without any image degradation. (Technically, it’s not a true zoom lens, but it uses a separate camera system to achieve a similar effect.)

Twice the magnification might not sound like much, but it makes a big difference when you’re zeroing in on one aspect of a scene. If you then need “digital zoom” – as those software tricks are known – you’re at least starting out with a sharper image. For close-ups, the zoom lens lets you step back to keep your shadow out of the shot.

It’s a shame the iPhone 7 doesn’t have the second lens as well, but it might take a few years for that to happen. Something similar occurred with anti-shake technology, which took two years to move from the Plus to the regular size starting with the iPhone 7.

The selfie camera also got better in the iPhone 7. Resolution increases to 7 megapixels, from 5 megapixels, so the selfie camera no longer feels inferior.

RIGHT: Pictures of a commuter ferry taken from the same position with the iPhone 7 Plus, using the smartphone’s regular lens (top) and its 2x zoom lens (bottom) in Tiburon, Calif. little more than opening the case near your phone and tapping “Connect.”

Audio plays automatically when you’re wearing them, and pauses when you pop one out to talk to someone. Double tapping on an earpiece let me ask the Siri voice assistant to change the volume, rewind or check the weather. (They do look a little like dangling earrings when you have them in.)

The AirPods picked up my voice pretty well, even when I spoke softly, and calls sounded fine in controlled environments. Siri had some trouble when Shakira blared in the background, but that’s no different from using the phone in a loud bar. And next to a busy highway in New York, the call sounded fine to me, but the person I was speaking with thought it sounded like a speaker phone.

The AirPods did stay in my ears through one bike ride, eight runs and some jumps, although one dropped out as I changed my shirt.

Apple promises five hours of continuous use; I got well over that, although voice calls will eat up their tiny batteries much faster. You also can double your listening by using one AirPod at a time. The AirPods come in a case that resembles a pack of dental floss; it also recharges the earpieces, extending usage to 24 hours.

The Lightning charging cord for your phone can recharge the case, too.

But the AirPods still seem remarkably easy to lose. The case helps, but I also lose dental floss regularly (don’t tell my dentist). I also get careless with wired headphones; I’ve even run a pair through the wash, which was no big deal since they cost just $29.

Of course, you might be more careful with $160 accessories. Apple does plan to sell single earpieces and the case separately, but hasn’t announced prices.

The wired headphones that come with the 7 work just fine – and will still cost $29 to replace. Apple isn’t promising better sound – at least for now – despite the Lightning port’s ability to deliver audio digitally. But

Other improvements

The new iPhones now have stereo speakers and play audio twice as loud as before. I could do the dishes with the faucet running and still hear my music without putting on headphones.

The screens also are brighter, which could help in direct sunlight.

Apple says battery life improves by an hour or two, thanks to higher capacity and efficiencies. No battery is ever going to be enough, but Apple promises 12 to 15 hours of internet use.

If you do upgrade, consider the new jet black model. The back is polished so finely it looks like glass, yet has the strength of aluminum. It smudges easily – but of course you ought to have a case anyway.

TECH BRIEF

By BARBARA ORTUTAY The Associated Press

Of all the personal information people tend to give out willy-nilly on the internet, birthdate is perhaps the most ubiquitous.

It’s not just Yahoo and Facebook seeking that information. Websites, newsletters, online stores and a plethora of other places want your birthdate – and many services won’t let you sign up until you provide it. And it’s probably not because they want to send you a gift.

Now, some Yahoo users are finding they cannot delete or edit this information. In light of a massive breach the internet icon recently disclosed, this could pose a security risk.

to keep it out of passwords.

Birthdates, while not unique, can help identify you when matched with a name. With enough other information, perhaps shared on a second, third or fourth website, it can be used to sign up for credit cards or apply for loans.

Remember when?

The breach, disclosed Thursday , affected 500 million Yahoo accounts.

But many of these accounts likely belong to people who signed up for Yahoo mail in, say, 1998 – then moved on when Google’s Gmail came along, while neglecting to delete their Yahoo accounts.

Now, the breach is prompting people to log back in and travel down the memory hole at the sight of their “Yahoo nickname” (“catsinspace2,” Why does this matter? anyone?). On the way, they may notice Services tend to ask for your their birthdate, stamped there and birthdate to make sure you’re at least without a way to change or remove 13, as opening the service to younger it (you can, however, edit your nickchildren would subject it to tighter name). restrictions on showing ads and collectFacebook, which also asks for your ing personal information. birthdate, lets you edit it, after warning But the information also can give you can change your birthdate only “a hackers another piece of information limited number of times.” Gmail lets for identity theft. This is why banks tell you edit, too. you not to use your birthday in your In an emailed statement, Yahoo user ID and why security experts warn said it does not allow users to change

f

their birthdates “as a matter of policy.”

The reason for this is to comply with a federal child-privacy law imposing a variety of limits and regulations on online services that target kids younger than 13. By excluding young children, services wouldn’t have to go through hoops and seek parental consent.

What to do about it?

Some security-minded folks get around giving out personal info by typing in a fake birthdate, although this can run afoul of a site’s terms of service. Other than that, there is not much individuals can do if they want to use the services.

But there are privacy groups hoping to change this. Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the online privacy watchdog Electronic Privacy Information Center, said companies should develop “privacy-enhancing techniques” that minimize or eliminate the collection of personally identifiable information.

“Asking users security questions based on personal information simply worsens the problem,” he said in an email. “Companies should avoid collecting birthdates, (Social Security numbers), mother maiden names. That only creates more vulnerabilities.”

What if your computer or smartphone could tell if you’re happy or sad?

A new device developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology aims to detect emotions by sending wireless signals that measure heartbeats as the signals bounce off a person’s body.

Researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory say their device is 87 percent accurate in using heartrate and what it’s already learned about a person to recognize joy, pleasure, sadness or anger, after the device first measures how each individual’s body reacts in various emotional states.

It works like an electrocardiogram monitor but without needing a sensor on the body to measure heartbeats.

They say it could one day be used by advertising agencies to gauge audience reaction or in health care to diagnose depression or anxiety.

Dementia isn’t always to blame Dear Dr. K: Lately my mind and memory have not been as sharp as usual. Could something other than aging or dementia be to blame?

Dear Reader: I’m glad you asked, because memory or thinking problems often lead people to worry they are developing dementia. Most causes of dementia don’t yet have cures. However, there are several underlying conditions that often affect memory and thinking – conditions that can be cured. And they are often overlooked.

I spoke to my colleague Dr. Shreya Raj. She is a neuropsychiatrist with the Center for Brain/Mind Medicine at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital. We discussed several common and treatable underlying conditions that can impair thinking skills: • Medication side effects. Several common medications can affect thinking. Overthe-counter examples include oxybutynin (Ditropan) for incontinence and diphenhydramine (Benadryl) for allergies. Prescription medications such as amitriptyline (Elavil) for depression and cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) for muscle spasms can affect cognitive function. Any medication that has a sedative effect, such as pain or sleep medications, also may make it hard to concentrate and think clearly.

• Low B12. Vitamin B12 is essential for healthy blood and nerve function. But as we age, it gets harder to absorb the B12 we get from food. This can cause abnormally low B12 levels in the blood, which can lead to fuzzy thinking and other symptoms. Fortunately, this problem is easily fixed by taking vitamin B12 pills or, sometimes, B12 injections.

• Anxiety or depression. Both anxiety and depression can cause fuzzy thinking. These conditions interfere with your ability to attend to what’s going on around

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff you, and you feel mentally exhausted. They also can keep you from getting enough deep sleep each night. The result is impaired ability to think clearly or make a decision.

By improving your concentration and your sleep, treatment for anxiety or depression can improve your mental function.

• Underactive thyroid gland. When your thyroid gland isn’t producing enough thyroid hormones, many body functions become sluggish, including brain function. This can lead to blurred thinking and forgetfulness. Treatment with a thyroid pill can fix the problem.

• Obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea causes people to stop breathing periodically while they sleep. As a result, they don’t get enough deep sleep at night. The classic symptom is daytime sleepiness. But it also can cause fuzzy thinking. (Sleep apnea also puts you at risk for stroke and heart disease.) There are treatments that can greatly improve symptoms.

You might need some tests to identify an underlying condition. Blood tests can check your thyroid hormones or B12 levels. A sleep test can determine if you have sleep apnea.

If not, your doctor may refer you to a neuropsychologist. This specialist can put you through a series of formal tests of your thinking ability, particularly signs of dementia.

Most of the time, however, people with fuzzy thinking do not have dementia. They have a less serious condition, one that usually can be successfully treated.

brother isn’t normal or healthy. That Jake has been willing to tolerate it and not warn her to knock it off means as long as you are with him, you will be subjected to her mistreatment. You may love Jake, but as long as he is under the thumb of his jealous and possessive sister, you will continue to be abused and maligned. My advice is to cut your losses.

Dear Abby: I am an African-American woman who was in a relationship with a Hispanic man. I am now a single parent of a beautiful 6-month-old son who is my pride and joy.

My biracial son, who looks exactly like me, is very fair-skinned. My problem is, any time I leave the house with him, strangers feel the need to ask me rude questions. I have been asked about my child’s father’s ethnicity, and asked if I was baby-sitting someone else’s child. I’m left flabbergasted and speechless.

What should I say the next time a stranger asks about my son’s race, which is none of their business? – Colorblind In Texas Dear Colorblind: It’s normal for people to be curious. If I were you, I wouldn’t tell them it’s none of their business because if you do, you will come across as angry and defensive.

When your son is older, it may make him wonder if there is something wrong with his appearance. A better way to handle it would be to matter-of-factly just tell the truth and move on.

DEAR ABBY I’ve been with my boyfriend, Jeanne “Jake,” for two Phillips years. We are both 32. Since the beginning, his sister, “Michelle” (who is 26), has never liked me. Jake admits there’s no reason for it. He thinks she’s just looking out for him because he’s had bad relationships in the past.

Michelle makes me very uncomfortable during family events by making rude comments, and she makes a point of excluding me from any event she is hosting. She has told people I “shoved her” and accuses me of refusing to let her talk to her brother. Neither is true.

I have asked Jake to ask his sister to apologize and make amends, but he insists she’ll do it when “hell freezes over.” He thinks I should try to make amends even though I have never done anything wrong. I’m at a loss. I don’t think I should apologize for something I’ve never done. Abby, she has belittled me in any encounter we’ve had. The rest of the family shrugs and says, “That’s just the way she is.”

Michelle has never liked any of Jake’s girlfriends, so this seems to be a pattern for her.

I’m afraid it eventually will lead to the end of Jake’s and my relationship.

I love him very much, and I wish he could see my side on this. Could you please give me some advice, Abby? – Not My Fault In Alber-

First, look at today’s deal and auction. Can you think of a rational explanation for the bidding, especially by South?

Amazingly, this is my 8,000th column. To show that you never stop learning at this game, I had another new bridge experience on Aug. 15, when I had a really enjoyable evening playing bridge at the Portland Club in London, as the guest of Stephen Richards.

At the Portland, no conventions are allowed, not even Stayman or Blackwood. You may use takeout doubles, but bidding a new suit requires four cards in it, and there are no cue-bids or control-bids. A one-notrump opening shows 12-14 points, and two-bids are strong. If a one-level contract is passed out undoubled, it is conceded, the cards are stacked, and they are dealt in groups of five and three -- a goulash. I sat East on this goulash.

The bidding sounded more and more weird to me because I had forgotten that partscores carried over.

(I last played bridge where that was the case perhaps 40 years ago.) On this deal, North-South had 60 on, so two spades was game. Hence South’s strange-looking pass at that point.

But he made up for it later when my partner pushed all the way to the five-level.

If I had been West, I think I would have led the heart ace, hoping partner had a singleton, but here it did not matter. We could take only my partner’s aces, so they made a vulnerable game for 650 points.

If you would like a fun but slightly frustrating evening, play under the Portland rules.

Woodstock’s Molina likely sets Guinness records

S

onny Molina woke up early Sunday morning in Chicago and, for the 18th time in 30 days, ran a half marathon.

The 44-year-old Woodstock man strapped his GoPro camera onto his torso with a Chesty so he could record evidence of his feat for the folks at Guinness World Records.

Oh, and Molina did it without shoes.

For someone who used to hate running, Molina does a lot of it. He ran almost 235.6 miles since Aug. 27 in races alone, not counting a few training runs on his rare days off.

Molina, an orthopedic and podiatry nurse team leader at Centegra Hospital-McHenry, meticulously planned his month, which took him to Wisconsin, then Texas, Montana and North Dakota, once running races on 11 consecutive days, another Guinness record, on his way to the record for a month.

Most people would think Molina is crazy for doing this, even if he had

Multitalented: Molina is a black belt in taekwondo, and he makes fishing lures. His handmade lures are included in the “Encyclopedia of Old Fishing Lures Made in North America.” been wearing shoes.

“I love challenges,” Molina said, smiling.

His next step will be to send all his videos, pictures and documentations

from each race to Guinness as proof of his accomplishment. Then, he will settle back into a more regular work schedule after taking a decent chunk of vacation time to set the record.

“One reason I’ve survived in these races is the people who are so supportive,” Molina said. “I enjoyed it.”

At most events, the race director was aware of what Molina was doing, so other runners took note of it as well.

A man who started running at age 40, after a challenge from friends, now likely owns a remarkable endurance record.

••• Salacnib “Sonny” Molina grew up in the Philippines and moved to the U.S. around age 21. He and his family live in Woodstock, and he has worked as a nurse at Centegra since 2002.

Dr. Harpreet Basran, a surgeon with Centegra-McHenry County Orthopaedics in Crystal Lake, has known Molina for eight years and often worked closely with him.

MARLINS 7, METS 3

Mourning Marlins earn emotional win

Team’s first game since Fernandez’s death

By STEVEN WINE

The Associated Press MIAMI – Dee Gordon and the Miami Marlins wore their emotions on the sleeves of their No. 16 jerseys.

Jose Fernandez would have loved it.

Gordon homered leading off the first inning for the Marlins, who totaled 14 hits and mixed cheers with the tears of the past two days by beating the New York Mets, 7-3, Monday night in their first game since Fernandez died in a boating accident.

“We were hitting balls underwater pretty much,” slugger Giancarlo Stanton said. “Our eyes were full of water.”

Adam Conley pitched three scoreless innings subbing for Fernandez, who had been scheduled to make his final start of the year. Justin Bour went 3 for 3 and Gordon had four hits, including one that will go down in Marlins lore.

Paying tribute to their charismatic ace, the left-handed-hitting Gordon stepped to the plate as a righty leading off the first. After one pitch, Gordon switched to his customary left side, and pulled a 2-0 delivery from Bartolo Colon into the upper deck for his first homer of the season.

The improbable clout brought tears, even from Gordon. He began crying as he circled the bases.

“It seemed like it took forever,” he

said. “I was trying to get back to my teammates as fast as possible. I was just wondering why Jose wasn’t there standing on the top step cheering for me.”

After crossing the plate Gordon tapped his chest and waved toward the sky, and sobbed as teammates hugged him in the dugout.

Stanton said the homer from the 170-pound Gordon was unbelievable but easy to explain.

“Pure emotion,” Stanton said.

“There’s no other way it could be scripted, unless you’re in a movie rewriting everything that just happened.”

Even the Mets appreciated what Gordon’s homer meant.

“I saw him crying when he rounded first base,” Mets catcher Travis d’Arnaud said. “I was crying too.”

Each of the Marlins wore black jerseys bearing Fernandez’s No. 16 and name, a tribute they had suggested. Stanton delivered an emotional speech as the entire team gathered at the mound moments before the game, and then contributed a hit, a run and a running, lunging backhanded catch in right field to rob Jay Bruce.

The portly Bour hit his first career triple, which he capped with a belly flop into third before rising to strike a muscleman pose that had his teammates and the crowd of 26,933 smiling.

CUBS 12, PIRATES 2

ERA falls to 1.99; Baez drives in 6 with grand slam

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks pitches in the sixth inning against the Pirates on Monday in Pittsburgh. Hendricks pitched six shutout innings in the Cubs’ 12-2 win.

Teammate Jon Lester ranks second in the majors with a 2.28 ERA. Each has one start left, at Cincinnati, during the regular season – Lester on Saturday and Hendricks on Sunday.

“Kyle doing what he’s doing – obviously, we did not anticipate all of this,” manager Joe Maddon said. “We thought [he’d be] good; he finished last year so well. But he’s really exceeded that.”

Hendricks’ 1.99 ERA would rank second only to teammate Jake Arrieta’s 1.77 last year among Cubs pitchers

WHITE SOX 7, RAYS 1

Abreu eager to watch playoffs

By TOM MUSICK

For the Sun-Times

CHICAGO – For the third consecutive season, White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu plans to watch the playoffs from home.

Sure, it probably will sting to watch other players contend for a championship. It won’t feel good to reflect on the Sox’s latest subpar season as Abreu stares at a TV screen showing teams that fulfilled their potential.

Still, he will watch.

“I’m a baseball fan,” Abreu said before the Sox’s 7-1 victory Monday against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Against the Rays, Abreu gave a smattering of fellow fans something to enjoy.

He had two hard-hit singles, an RBI and a walk in his four plate appearances.

Right-hander James Shields (6-18) provided a rare strong performance as he snapped a two-month drought between victories. He limited the Rays to one run and seven hits, struck out six and walked two in six innings.

Justin Morneau had a two-run home run and three RBIs, and Carlos Sanchez also had a two-run homer for the Sox, who closed the upper deck for the game.

The paid attendance was announced at 13,665.

Abreu, 29, doesn’t know what the Sox will look like when they convene next spring at Camelback Ranch. He would rather field ground balls than field questions about rumors of a possible rebuild on the South Side.

A rebuild almost certainly would increase Abreu’s streak of 452 games and counting without a playoff appearance.

“I can’t really talk about it because it’s none of my business,” Abreu said. “I don’t have a decision about it. The only thing I can control is to play hard, to try to finish this season strong.

“That’s a decision that the team has to make. I hope the decision that they make is the best for the team.”

In the meantime, Abreu is chasing as many victories as possible in the final week of the Sox’s season. The way he views it, if he focuses on helping the Sox win, his individual stats will follow.

Abreu raised his average to .299 and notched his 98th RBI. A .300 season with 100 RBIs is well within reach.

Such possibilities seemed remote as Abreu staggered toward the AllStar break 2½ months ago. But he kept working with assistant hitting coach Greg Sparks to improve his approach.

PITTSBURGH – Don’t tell Kyle Hendricks and the rest of the Cubs that this final week of regular-season games doesn’t mean anything.

In the opener of a four-game series Monday night at PNC Park, they looked as relentless as the Pirates looked feckless in a 12-2 victory with historic implications.

With a six-RBI night from Javy Baez leading the way – including a grand slam – Hendricks (16-7) pitched six scoreless innings as the Cubs reached 100 victories for the first time in 71 years, and for only the second time in 106 years.

Hendricks has been as big a reason for the Cubs’ sixth 100-win season in franchise history as anybody on the roster. In his 22nd start allowing three or fewer runs, he lowered his major-league-leading ERA to 1.99 as he closes in on a league ERA title that would be the Cubs’ first since Ray Prim’s in their last World Series season in 1945.

BULLS MEDIA DAY

Heat on coach after missing playoffs

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com

The Bulls’ Jimmy Butler looks at photographers during the team’s media day Monday in Chicago. department last season, whether it was Hoiberg and Noah disagreeing on the big man’s benching or Jimmy Butler publicly neutering Hoiberg by insisting he needed to coach harder. Neither was a good look.

This summer, Hoiberg has had frequent talks with Butler, as well as sitting down with new veteran additions Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade.

“I told Fred, ‘As much as you can, use me as an example. I want you to really get on my tail about every little thing,’ ” Butler said Monday. “Because if Doug [McDermott] or Tony [Snell] or whoever it may be is watching coach talk to me like that, it’s going to be like, ‘If he can talk to Jimmy like that, I know he’s going to come at me a certain way.’ That’s what I try to remind him every day. I think he’s ready for that. I’m a player. I’m coachable like everybody else. I want that. I need that.”

And if this is going to work, Hoiberg needs to supply that.

Sure, the defense needs to be better, the team needs to play harder and with more toughness, but Hoiberg needs the respect of the locker room first and foremost.

“The big thing about making this work is having communication,” Hoiberg said. “I’ve had really good conversations with Rajon, with Dwyane.

We’ve watched a lot of film together and shared ideas. Does that add extra pressure? No. I feel a lot of pressure, and any coach that sits in this chair on media day is feeling the same way. So you go out there and you try putting your guys in the right positions, and I’m confident we’ll do that.”

CHICAGO – Gar Forman wore his summer tan well.

The Bulls’ general manager was in good spirits during Monday’s media day, looking comfortable with his standing in the franchise.

John Paxson? Same story for the Bulls’ VP of basketball operations. Intense as usual, but no sign of stress caused by job security.

Sure, the two men can talk about accountability, but accountability only reaches so high in the Bulls orgaFred Hoiberg nization, making Gar/ Pax all but immune.

Second-year coach Fred Hoiberg?

He doesn’t share that luxury.

Ending an eight-year playoff run like the Bulls did last season comes with consequences. Considering Hoiberg was a rookie coach last year and only one season into a five-year deal, the blame game shifted to the roster.

There’s a reason Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah are now in New York, and Pau Gasol is a Spur.

However, the Bulls are running out of places to point the finger. No wonder Hoiberg is admittedly feeling the heat.

“Sure, yeah,” Hoiberg said, when asked whether he was feeling pressure.

“I put a lot of pressure on myself. This is a high-pressure job, and I understand that. And again, nobody looked at this thing harder in the offseason than I did and was harder on themselves than I was. I know that I have a job to do, to try and put these guys into position to go out and win basketball games, and that’s my sole focus, to go out and do that.

“But yeah, the pressures in this job are very high. And again, after games, win or lose, you go back and watch the film and try and make the necessary adjustments.’’

Atop that adjustment priority list for Hoiberg is making sure the communication between coach and player is alive and well.

There were some struggles in that

8 BEARS

If Fox, Pace have plan, let’s see it

The Bears weren’t supposed to be done struggling, but they were supposed to be done looking lost and without a plan.

The whole idea of jettisoning Lovie Smith, Jerry Angelo, Marc Trestman and Phil Emery over the past several years was to put the franchise on firmer footing. That’s why the hiring of John Fox last year seemed so good and so right.

Here was a head coach who had been to two Super Bowls with two different teams, a man who had turned around the fortunes of two franchises. That calm demeanor, that raspy coach’s voice, that steady hand – all of it seemed to add up to someone who could take the chaos of what had come before and turn it into order, if not improvement.

And here was a fresh-faced general manager, Ryan Pace, who would introduce modern sensibilities to Halas Hall.

The Bears are 0-3 after a lifeless performance against the Cowboys on Sunday night, and even the possibility of stinking their way to the No. 1 pick in next year’s draft doesn’t invite much hope. They’d probably take the best available injured athlete.

Let’s dismiss injuries, the Bears’ fallback excuse so far this season. Injuries are a built-in part of the NFL, the way colds are at a day-care center. If you’re going to preach the “next-manup” gospel, as Fox does, then don’t talk about injuries. Talk about how poor the team’s depth is.

Injuries don’t explain how ill-prepared the Bears were Sunday and how poorly coached they looked. From their first offensive play of the game, when backup quarterback Brian Hoyer couldn’t execute a handoff to running back Jeremy Langford, the Bears seemed out of step. Dowell Loggains’ offensive game plans have lacked clarity, and Sunday was no different. The next rookie quarterback to be confused by Vic Fangio’s defensive schemes will be the first. And for all the talk of a veteran coaching staff’s influence, I don’t see many players improving.

The Bears wouldn’t have beaten the Cowboys with a healthy Jay Cutler, so let’s forget that nonsense. He is only the most glaring symptom of what’s wrong with the franchise. The Bears have made poor personnel decisions going back to what feels like the Ice Age. They compounded their original bad idea of trading for Cutler by giving him more money. His contract set the team back, although revisionists have tried to explain it as an average deal for an average quarterback. Maybe it

VIEWS Rick Morrissey is now, but it surely wasn’t when he signed it.

The Bears haven’t groomed a young quarterback because … because … because who knows why? You shake your head so often at their myopia that a chiropractic adjustment is in order.

Nothing could be as bad as the cratered, mushroom-cloud losses to the Patriots (51-23) and the Packers (55-14) in 2014. I wouldn’t begin to argue that what is happening now is worse. But I will say that the first three games of 2016 have moved the needle on the angst meter from “dispirited’’ to “we’re doomed.” It’s hard to see much improvement in Fox’s second season, but, worse, it’s hard to see even the chalk outline of a plan in Pace’s second year as general manager.

Fox has those two Super Bowl appearances on his résumé, and they have carried him a long way. But the currents have brought him to here and now, and his résumé might as well be a paper towel for all anyone in Chicago cares. The only thing that matters is 0-3 and how the Bears plan to proceed.

But because everything is a secret at Halas Hall, no one is sure of the plan or whether there is one.

It looks like a rebuild, but since when do rebuilds involve a franchise-wide fog, zero visibility and a sleepy coaching staff? At news conferences, Fox always looks like he wants you to know that he knows what’s going on, even though he won’t tell you what’s going on, and, by the way, can he get back to towel snapping with his frat brothers now?

The Bears were 6-10 last season, and all we heard about in the offseason was Fox’s ability to flip houses.

Well, that and how accommodating the schedule would be this season.

But here they are, a mess heading into Week 4 against the Lions. On Monday, Fox wouldn’t even commit to a healthy Cutler starting over Hoyer, even after a bad loss to the Cowboys.

What’s the plan, long-term or otherwise? The Bears aren’t showing or telling. Or maybe even knowing.

“Nobody comes and rescues you,” Fox said.

That’s what he and Pace are supposed to be doing with the Bears.
