Adult brains today are more aware of children’s brains You can’t and shouldn’t encase your kids in bubble wrap, but parents today rightfully worry about concussions far more than previous generations did.

I don’t even know whether bike helmets existed in the 1970s and ’80s, but no kid in my neighborhood ever wore one. At best, there was a weird kid who’d wear one of those ballpark giveaway batting helmets with the plastic adjustable innards. Those would cushion your skull about as well as baby oil protected your sister from skin cancer.

As a typical male, I recall several concussions growing up from boxing and just general playground mayhem, but a doctor’s visit was never part of the protocol. That might explain a few columns for some people.

That has changed significantly. According to a recent Chicago Tribune story picked up by The Associated Press, Illinois’ largest insurer, Blue Cross Blue Shield, reported that concussion diagnoses among its Illinois clients ages 10 to 19 increased by 83 percent from 2010 to 2015.

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Kevin Lyons That’s great news and shows that coaches, schools, parents and anyone who works with kids is much more aware of the concussion issue and are making sure kids get checked out.

The insurance data showed that 8,198 Illinois children ages 10 to 19 were diagnosed with concussions in hospitals in 2015, up from 6,538 diagnoses in 2010.

If there’s one thing worth protecting, it’s a developing brain. Spend a few hours on the internet and you soon realize what a rare commodity the ones in good condition are.

For the first time ever, Playboy has featured a woman wearing a hijab.

The magazine’s October issue includes an interview with 22-year-old journalist Noor Tagouri, who’s a reporter for online news outlet, Newsy.

The accompanying photo shows a fully clothed Tagouri wearing the traditional Muslim head scarf in front of a red, white and blue backdrop.

Playboy stopped publishing nude photos this year.

Tagouri said the hijab has helped her create trust with her interview subjects as a reporter. She said as a Muslim woman, she knows “what it’s like to be misrepresented in the media.”

Tagouri aspires to become the first anchor wearing a hijab on a commercial TV station in the U.S.

TRUMP VISITS THE ’BURBS

Fundraiser in Bolingbrook attracts mostly protesters, some supporters

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com

and FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Between 150 and 200 people were outside the Bolingbrook Golf Club on Wednesday for several hours – but they weren’t waiting to hit a bucket of balls.

Most of them were protesting Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s private fundraising luncheon held at the club. Protesters and media were in a fenced-off area across from the facility. A sign on the club property said: “Closed to the public, private event.”

Members of several groups – including local organization Suburban Families Against Hate and national group Fight for $15 – were near the club before 10 a.m., ahead of the 11:30 a.m. start time for the luncheon, which had entry prices ranging from $1,000 to $250,000.

There were no sightings of Trump’s motorcade on Rodeo Drive – the main entryway to the club – and he wasn’t clearly seen by the crowd outside. He likely entered from Kings Road to the east, which runs along a cornfield.

Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar confirmed in a phone interview after the event that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani spoke to the crowd of about 300. He listed Chicago Cubs co-owner Todd Ricketts and former Chicago Bear Dan Hampton as two other big names who attended. Claar said DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin also was there.

Before, during and after the luncheon, which ended at 1 p.m., several debates of varying volume took place between Trump supporters and protesters. Topics included immigration, the economy, Trump’s comments about various groups of people and who had a right to stand where on the protest grounds.

and an Air Force veteran, and has four nephews in the Marines. He said he came to protest because of Trump’s “divisive message.”

“I couldn’t let this Donald go by,” Wilder said of Trump Trump’s visit to Bolingbrook. “His message is agitating and there’s no place for it.”

He took issue with Trump’s description of America, saying the candidate paints the country as a “dystopia.”

“The way he describes America, you’d swear we were in a ‘Mad Max’ Anti-Trump demonstrators Bolingbrook resident Ryan Wilder movie,” he said.

Wilder said he doesn’t appreciate joined the protest from about 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Wilder is a union machinist the way Trump has treated people who

“I couldn’t let this go by.

His message is agitating and there’s no place for it.”

Ryan Wilder Bolingbrook veteran have either worked for, or with, the billionaire, and said Trump is anti-union.

Wilder and Army veteran Dan Clark of Romeoville also have been bothered

by Trump’s comments about military veterans. Wilder objected to Trump’s July comments that a Muslim soldier who died in Iraq had “sacrificed nothing.” Trump then stated in a TV interview that he had “made a lot of sacri-

fices” while highlighting his business accomplishments.

Clark recalled when Trump said U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, was “not a war hero.” McCain spent more than five years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam.

Although many veterans have been outspoken Trump supporters, Clark said those he knows do not support Trump.

Clark said he believes if elected, Trump would push to privatize the Department of Veterans Affairs system, and the move would be a disaster because a lot of new medicine comes out of the VA.

Prairie Ridge High School English teacher Katie Powe talks with students Tuesday after class. Powe now teaches in the same classroom where she attended her first-period class as a Prairie Ridge junior. “That’s really special, and it’s a unique thing that not many people can say,” Powe said. Prairie Ridge is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.

Prairie Ridge High School celebrating 20th anniversary

By NATE LINHART nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Prairie Ridge High School is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year with various events.

Prairie Ridge principal Steven Koch, who became the school’s principal in 2013, said the school has been honoring its anniversary by recognizing 25 faculty members who have been there since the school opened in 1997.

When Prairie Ridge opened its doors, it brought in students and teachers who were previously at other District 155 schools.

Originally a teacher at Cary-Grove, special education teacher Judy Swett transferred to Prairie Ridge for its first year. Swett said she got to walk through the building with a hard hat on when it was just a shell of its current self.

“Over the years, despite coming from all different schools, the faculty has bonded and grown stronger,” Swett said. “My time here has just been priceless since it’s such a wonderful place to work at.”

“It’s like one big family at this school, and there’s really nothing not to like.”

Jean Boddy Math teacher at Prairie Ridge High School Math teacher Jean Boddy also was at another District 155 school, Crystal Lake South, before coming to Prairie Ridge 20 years ago. Boddy said she put in a request to transfer to the new school because she wanted to be at the school her children would eventually attend.

“It’s like one big family at this school, and there’s really nothing not to like,” Boddy said.

English teacher Katie Powe went to Prairie Ridge as a student her junior and senior years after attending Crystal Lake Central as a freshman and sophomore.

Now, Powe not only teaches at the school she graduated from, but she also teaches

in the room that was her first-period classroom when she was a junior.

“That’s been really special, and it’s a unique thing that not many people can say,” Powe said.

Powe said that when she was a student the walls were all white and it was up to the school’s first students to start creating early traditions. Now, the walls are filled with trophies, murals, school colors and other items that display school pride.

“It was very clear I wanted to be a teacher someday because of the influence from the teachers I previously had here,” Powe said. “I originally aspired to work in the city, but then I realized I had such a positive experience that I wanted to continue to have that experience in my adult life, too.”

Koch said Prairie Ridge will continue to celebrate its 20th anniversary throughout the rest of the school year. Friday’s homecoming will feature an alumni tent where former students and teachers can share their past stories with current students.

4 newcomers running in County Board District 4

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com Voters in McHenry County Board District 4 will be choosing new faces Nov. 8 to represent them.

All four candidates for the two open seats – Republicans Craig Wilcox and Kay Bates and Democrats Robert Rosenberg and Arne Waltmire – are newcomers, and all four live in McHenry. Neither Republican incumbent is on the ballot – Robert Martens Sr. is not seeking re-election, and Sue Draffkorn lost her re-election bid in the March primary.

District 4 covers most of McHenry Township, and all of Richmond and Burton townships, and includes all or most of McHenry, Richmond, Spring Grove, Johnsburg, Fox Lake, Ringwood, McCullom Lake, Wonder Lake and Bull Valley.

Wilcox said his experience sets him apart from the pack. He served 24 years in the U.S. Air Force, retired a colonel and earned his MBA – one of three master’s degrees he holds. He said that his knowledge and tenacity will be applied to his top priority of lowering residents’ property taxes. He said he will fight for the County Board and other local governments to “cooperate, collaborate and consolidate.”

“I have pledged to be active on behalf of taxpayers to fight for lower property taxes, and when elected to the County Board, I will continue to work with and challenge all taxing bodies to do the same. That means first working to reduce County Board budgets, and ensure the County Board reduces its levy this year, just like [it] did last year,” Wilcox said.

All four candidates prioritized lowering the county’s tax burden – county government accounts for only about 10 percent of a taxpayer’s bill. For Rosenberg, a conservation land manager with an environmental law degree, part of the equation is making the county more attractive to employers, specifically through prioritizing roads and infrastructure projects. He said redundancies can be reduced in county administration without affecting services.

“New businesses look for good infrastructure and skilled employees,” Rosenberg said. “The County Board should prioritize road projects and work to make McHenry County desirable to the kinds of employees that new businesses are seeking.”

Bates, president of the McHen-

“I have pledged to be active on behalf of taxpayers to fight for lower property taxes, and when elected to the County Board, I will continue to work with and challenge all taxing bodies to do the same.”

Have you ever attended a presidential campaign event?

Wednesday’s results as of 8 p.m.:

Craig Wilcox, Republican candidate for McHenry County Board District 4

“McHenry County must lead the way to continue to hold firm when tempted to increase taxes to cover expenses and use its leadership to work with other taxing entities to do the same.”

Kay Bates, Republican candidate for McHenry County Board District 4

“The County Board should prioritize road projects and work to make McHenry County desirable to the kinds of employees that new businesses are seeking.”

“I strongly support cutting the size of the County Board. It is a way to save taxpayers money without cutting vital county services.”

Robert Rosenberg

Arne Waltmire

Democratic candidate for McHenry County Board District 4

Democratic candidate for McHenry County Board District 4

ry Area Chamber of Commerce since 2003, said county government needs to streamline departments, promote consolidation of government entities and work toward more commercial and industrial growth to grow the tax base.

She also said that the county needs to help develop a “team attitude” among other local governments when it comes to lowering taxes.

“It is my belief that all taxing entities in McHenry County need to adapt to changing times,” Bates said. “The simple truth of the matter is that the residents and businesses in McHenry County are taxed out. McHenry County must lead the way to continue to hold firm when tempted to increase taxes to cover expenses and use its leadership to work with other taxing entities to do the same.”

A top priority for all four candidates is to cut the size of the County Board – for Waltmire, a teacher at Crystal Lake-based Community High School District 155, it’s a key to driving down costs. Voters will be asked an advisory question as to whether the board’s size should be reduced from its current

number of 24 after the 2020 U.S. census.

Waltmire was the third candidate slated by the Democratic Party for the race – it caucused him in to replace Patrick Arnold, who withdrew a month after the party caucused him in to replace Andy Breen, who withdrew in July.

“I strongly support cutting the size of the County Board,” Waltmire said. “It is a way to save taxpayers money without cutting vital county services. Cook County’s population is 10 times that of McHenry’s, and yet they have less members on their board.”

Waltmire supports cutting the board by 25 percent, or one per district, while Rosenberg supports halving it and creating a 12-member board of single-member districts. Bates said more work is needed before a number can be determined, and Wilcox said he would favor any reduction that did not result in fulltime legislators or too much power being concentrated into too few hands.

Candidates had differing opinions over permanently eliminating the levy for Valley Hi Nursing Home, which

Cary District 26 seeking new school board member NORTHWEST HERALD CARY – The Cary School District 26 Board is accepting applications for an open seat on the board that must be filled by appointment.

The seat opened Monday when local resident Chris Christensen submitted his resignation to District 26 Superintendent Brian Coleman. By law, the seat must be filled within 45 days from the resignation.

Christensen was appointed to fill a term on the McHenry County Board and is running to be elected in November.

To apply, applicants must be legal

• DISTRICT 4

Continued from page A6 because of good fiscal management combined with the levy has amassed a budget surplus that can fund years of operations. The County Board eliminated the levy for one year, but doing it a second year would permanently eliminate it under state law, unless voters approve another levy by referendum.

residents of Cary School District 26 and of legal voting age. The open seat will be appointed to serve through the April 2017 general election.

Those interested can send a letter of interest with a resume to Coleman at the District 26 Administrative Center, 2115 Crystal Lake Road, Cary, IL 60013. Or, interested candidates can email their resumes to brian.coleman@ cary26.org. The administration center needs to receive the applications by the end of the business day Oct. 11 to be considered.

The school board meets on the fourth Monday of each month at 7 p.m. at various locations.

Wilcox supports eliminating the levy, and Bates supports either eliminating or “greatly reducing” it. Waltmire said the levy should be reduced and the surplus spent down to a reasonable amount to maintain a sensible cushion. Rosenberg did not discuss the levy in his Northwest Herald questionnaire, but stated that Valley Hi is an “important asset” to the county and part of the reason why county government has a top Aaa credit rating.

Eight people, including the owner of a McHenry-based tax preparation business, pleaded guilty in relation to a tax fraud scheme, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Northern District of Illinois.

Patty Cordoba, 44, of Crystal Lake owned and managed Patty’s Tax Service in McHenry, and she and her employees falsely claimed more than $1 million in tax refunds, according to federal prosecutors.

Mario Cordoba, 49, of Crystal Lake; Luisa Carbajal, 54, of Marengo; Alicia Arevalo, 49, of Poplar Grove; and Patty Cordoba prepared and filed more than 200 fraudulent personal federal income tax returns by claiming false amounts of income and credits for tax years 2006 to 2011, prosecutors said.

The fraudulent personal federal income tax returns were filed for Olga Lidia Diaz-Hernandez, 46, of McHenry; Victor Hernandez, 43, of McHenry; Veronica Sanchez-Barradas, 40, of

McHenry; and Cesar Besiche, 50, of McHenry.

Because of the false tax returns submitted to the IRS, the U.S. Treasury Department issued and mailed tax refund checks to the addresses on the false tax returns, or directly deposited the funds into the bank accounts in the name of the filers, authorities said.

Defendants received the following sentences: • Patty Cordoba, 55 months in federal prison and about $1.1 million in restitution.

• Alicia Arevalo, 21 months in federal prison and about $1.1 million in restitution.

• Cesar Besiche, released to the Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement for processing of deportation, and about $74,900 in restitution.

• Luisa Carbajal, 16 months in federal prison and about $1.1 million in restitution.

• Mario Cordoba, 33 months in federal prison and about $1.1 million in restitution.

Mane in Heaven having 4th Trot-A-Thon in LITH

By HANNAH PROKOP hprokop@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – Mane in Heaven will be holding its fourth annual 5k Trot-A-Thon on Sunday in Lake in the Hills.

The nonprofit hopes to raise $20,000 this year to support its miniature therapy horses’ visits, Mane in Heaven Development Director Dina Morgan said.

The group has recently visited the Ronald McDonald House in Chicago and area fire and police departments, Morgan said. Its mission is to bring therapeutic benefits to children and adults that lead to improved outcomes of physical, mental and emotional well-being.

“How can you not smile when you see a little horse with gym shoes on?”

Morgan said.

The 5K race will start at 8:30 a.m. and the family fun run/walk will start at 9:15 a.m. at Silver Linings Equestri-

an, 1109 Pyott Road, Lake in the Hills.

Strollers and pets are welcome at the family fun run/walk, and participants will be joined by the miniature horses.

People can register online at www. maneinheaven.org until Saturday, or from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. the day of the event, Morgan said. The cost is $40 for participants age 11 and older, and $10 for younger children.

Morgan said people also can come out to participate in the auction and meet the miniature horses.

“Just come see what we do, meet our minis, get some mini love and help support a great cause,” Morgan said.

The group has about 40 volunteers and seven miniature horses, Morgan said.

Email events@maneinheaven.org with questions, or Morgan at development@maneinheaven.org to be a sponsor. Checks to the organization can be sent to Mane in Heaven, 117 S. Cook St., Suite 237, Barrington, IL 60010.

Civil War re-enactors will explain what life was like in the 1860s to interested attendees. Actors portraying Gen. Ulysses S. Grant and Julia Boggs Dent Grant will be talking with guests and answering questions they might have about the war.

Other activities taking place throughout the day will include blacksmith-forging demonstrations, cider-making demonstrations, a white elephant sale and silent auctions where

people can bid on old history books and county atlases.

The white elephant sale, which will sell old clothing and other rare items, will be from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Schuette Building, next to the museum.

The McHenry County Historical Society also is hosting an apple bakeoff contest Sunday with registration starting at 9:30 a.m. and judging taking place at 10:30 a.m. at the museum’s West Harmony School.

HUNTLEY – Rock Creek Homes wants to build new houses on about 93 acres of property by The Hennings housing complex but neighbors aren’t happy about it.

The development would include 161 units with a total density of 1.74 peracre at the complex by Route 20 and Church Road in unincorporated Huntley. The residential lots would be built on about 30 acres of land, and the rest of the space would go to homeowners association, maintained open space and public right of way. About three dozen area residents attended a public hearing Wednesday and questioned the plan.

“Ultimately the developer isn’t going to be responsible to widen Church Road or Route 20,” said Luis Zaragoza, who lives at the nearby Park Side Crossing complex. “And then the county would have to pay, which would raise taxes.

And just aesthetically, (the complex) isn’t appealing.”

Rock Creek wants to construct the homes to target an older baby boomer demographic because that’s where the company has seen the most buyer interest. Those customers typically want to

He added that the homes the development plans to build wouldn’t compete with other houses on the market because young families likely wouldn’t be looking to buy small. Homes on the west side of the Hennings Estates typically sell for about $200 a square foot. The new, smaller units would go for similar price points, LeSueur said.

“A younger family is looking for space for the dollar,” he said. “We are selling more of a setting with open space and amenities.”

Some amenities include a playground, a fishing pier and walking trails, planning documents show.

Some local residents are concerned that the development will ruin the small-town, rural feel that drew them to the area in the first place.

“I moved out here to feel more tranquility and peace and not have to worry about my kids riding their bikes because of the traffic flow,” said Heather Wickersham, who lives in a nearby neighborhood. “Now they want to bring in 200 homes and put them in a tiny little area and route their subdivision through ours. It’s going to ruin that tranquility.”

The public hearing was continued to 1:30 p.m. Oct. 12 at the County Administration Building, 667 Ware St., Wood-

• TRUMP Continued from page A3 Mark Knutson of the Will County Progressives was dressed as a taco truck featuring a menu that included “tiny hand tacos” and a “tamale wall.”

Nicki Serbin, chairwoman for the group, who worked with Knutson on his costume, said it was inspired by a Trump surrogate who warned Hillary Clinton winning the election would result in taco trucks on every corner. She said it was meant to be satirical and entertaining without being adversarial.

“This is kind of a stressful situation and we thought a little levity might be helpful,” Serbin said.

Trump supporters outnumbered

Although more supporters came to Trump’s aid as the day wore on, protesters outnumbered supporters about 4-to-1. One supporter, Chicago resident Brian Strainis, was waving an American flag and said he was there to support Trump and the police.

By EUGENIA LAST Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Protect your home and assets.

Don’t give anyone the impression you are too eager to please. Being helpful and being taken advantage of are not the same thing.

If you want to be kind, do so without going overboard emotionally or financially.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Avoid a dispute.

You cannot win a battle if you do not have the facts. Your perception is off, and this will cost you if you make assumptions or act in haste.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Don’t leave anything undone. Paying close attention to detail will pay off. An unexpected personal change will help give you a new lease on life.

Romance is in the stars.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Someone will withhold information, misinterpret you or lead you astray. Ask questions and look at the big picture before you make a decision that might jeopardize your lifestyle.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – A financial deal will be riddled with problems. Don’t count on anything or anyone. Do the legwork yourself to avoid disappointment. Follow instructions carefully and stay away from unpredictable people.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Your hard work will pay off. Stick to your plan and invest in your skills and knowledge. Update your résumé and personal documents to improve your cash flow.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Do everything according to the instructions you’ve been given. You might have a better idea, but save it for your own benefit instead of using it to make someone else look good.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t share too much with others. Watch and assess what people are doing and adjust your plans accordingly. A secretive approach will give you the edge over any competition you face.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Take action if you see something you want. Claim your space, stake out your position and pursue your goals.

You can turn your idea or plan into a reality.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Ask questions. Don’t believe anyone who is pushy, persuasive or offering the impossible. You’ll

benefit if you gather facts and take care of business personally. Protect your assets and possessions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Discuss your plans with someone who will be affected by the decisions you make. The input you get will be helpful and will lead to a closer bond between you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Plan a trip or make arrangements to get together with people who inspire you. Bring about change by presenting what you want to see happen. Success is within reach.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – If you show your playful side while networking, you could build a greater bond with important people. Update your appearance to receive compliments.

field. All told, nearly 150 stones from notable locations around the world are embedded in the building’s walls. Other stones are from the Taj Mahal, the Colosseum, the Cave of the Nativity in Bethlehem and a piece of steel recovered from the World Trade Center.

By CARLA K. JOHNSON The Associated Press CHICAGO – A 36-story Chicago landmark, the Tribune Tower, has been sold – gargoyles, flying buttresses and all.

Tribune Media Co. announced Wednesday that it closed the sale of the tower and two other properties this week. The company has received $430 million in gross proceeds for the assets, and may receive up to an additional $45 million in contingent payments.

The Tribune Tower, purchased by CIM Group, sits on three acres along Chicago’s Michigan Avenue.

Here are some features of the historic edifice that make it significant:

FAMOUS QUOTATIONS

MONUMENT TO ‘THE COLONEL’

News mogul Robert R. McCormick, known as the Colonel, became president of Tribune Company in 1911.

To mark the 75th anniversary of the Chicago Tribune, McCormick held an international design competition to create “the most beautiful office building in the world,” with a $50,000 prize for the winner. A renowned eccentric who directed Tribune editors to use his own system of spelling, McCormick requested secret doors and passages in case the building was ever stormed.

Police issue warrant in U. of Illinois fatal shooting

CHAMPAIGN – An arrest warrant has been issued in the deadly weekend shooting at a party near the University of Illinois campus for an 18-year-old man who was released earlier this month from a state boot camp, authorities said Wednesday.

Prosecutors said Robbie Patton of Champaign will be charged with first-degree murder in the early Sunday shooting that killed a 22-year-old man and injured three other people.

Patton was sentenced in April to eight months in prison after pleading guilty to shooting at an occupied vehicle but was instead sent to the Illinois Department of Corrections boot camp “over our

tural details include grotesques and gargoyles.

Raymond Hood and John Mead Howells won the design competition, and their Gothic Revival building was completed in 1925. The crown of the building, illuminated by floodlights and reaching a height of 462 feet, looks like a Medieval European tower complete with flying buttresses. The sculp-

She said Patton is believed to be in the Champaign area and may be armed.

Authorities still are investigating the shooting, which stemmed from a disagreement at a large party at an apartment in what is known as Campustown, the campus’ main commercial district, Rietz and police said. One woman spilled a drink on another, leading to a series of altercations that included one man being badly beaten by several other men, Rietz said. The man who was beaten has since been released from the hospital.

date. She wouldn’t say if the two sides are close to an agreement.

The union’s approximately 25,000 members walked out in 2012 for 10 days and staged a one-day walkout in April.

CTU vice president Jesse Sharkey said in addition to compensation, the union’s stance is partially motivated by cuts in school staffing, including librarians, and services such as special education experts.

CPS CEO Forrest Claypool said the cash-strapped district will do everything possible to prevent disruption of the school year.

Chicago teachers set strike date if deal not reached

CHICAGO – The Chicago Teachers Union has set an Oct. 11 strike date if the union fails to reach a contract agreement by then with Chicago Public Schools.

Saying it’s time to move contract talks along, union president Karen Lewis said teachers will “withhold our labor” if an agreement isn’t reached by the strike

Illinois State marks second largest fundraising year

The school said in a news release Tuesday it received support from corporate partners, friends of the university and

The building’s lobby walls bear quotations from Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison extolling the freedom of the press. The Hall of Inscriptions also features a passage from an Illinois Supreme Court decision in 1923 in an unsuccessful libel suit brought against the Tribune by the city of Chicago.

Col. McCormick’s own words are here, too, proclaiming that a newspaper is “that check upon government which no constitution has ever been able to provide.”

POKER PARTY

At some point when Tribune Co. was owned by a group led by real estate magnate Sam Zell, top executives of the company held a poker and cigar party in the Tribune Tower office once occupied by McCormick. Photos of the party, dated June 2009 and showing some executives with handfuls of cash, were posted on Facebook by attendees.

Man freed after evidence clears him of 1992 murder

CHICAGO – A Chicago man sent to prison for the 1992 rape and murder of a 6-year-old boy is free after his conviction was vacated by a Cook County judge.

New DNA evidence shows Mark Maxson did not kill Lindsey Murdock. The 55-yearold Maxson was freed Tuesday from Stateville Correctional Center near Joliet.

In a statement, the Cook County state’s attorney office said reinvestigation of the case determined Maxson’s conviction couldn’t stand. Prosecutors said the investigation into the boy’s murder is ongoing.

Investigators focused on Maxson after he told a reporter he’d bought chips for the child and told him to go home. Murdock was found dead the next day.

Police: Shooter killed father before rampage

TOWNVILLE, S.C. – A teenager killed his father at their home Wednesday before going to a nearby elementary school and opening fire with a handgun, wounding two students and a teacher, authorities said.

The teen was apprehended within minutes of the school shooting in this rural town about 110 miles northeast of Atlanta.

One of the students was shot in the leg and the other in the foot, Capt. Garland Major with the Anderson County sheriff’s office said. Both students were male.

The female teacher was hit in the shoulder. Before the shooting at Townville Elementary about 1:45 p.m., the teen gunned down his 47-year-old father, Jeffrey Osborne, at their home about 2 miles from the school, authorities said.

“These forces will be primarily to enable Iraqi security forces and also (Kurdish) Peshmerga in the operations to isolate and collapse ISIL’s control over Mosul, but also to protect and expand Iraqi security forces’ gains elsewhere in Iraq,” Defense Secretary Ash Carter told reporters Wednesday.

C-SPAN2 via AP

This frame grab from video provided Wednesday by C-SPAN2 shows the floor of the Senate on Capitol Hill in Washington as the Senate acted decisively to override President Barack Obama’s veto of Sept. 11 legislation, setting the stage for the contentious bill to become law despite flaws that Obama and top Pentagon officials warn could put U.S. troops and interests at risk.

Congress overrides veto of 9/11 legislation

By RICHARD LARDNER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – In a resounding rebuke, Democrats joined with Republicans on Wednesday to hand Barack Obama the first veto override of his presidency, voting overwhelmingly to allow families of Sept. 11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia in U.S. courts for its alleged backing of the attackers.

Both the House and Senate voted decisively to reverse Obama’s decision to scuttle the legislation. Democrats in both chambers abandoned the president in large numbers despite warnings from Obama and top national security officials that flaws in the bill could put U.S. interests, troops and intelligence personnel at risk.

The Senate vote was 97-1, with only Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., backing the president. The House vote a few hours later was 348-77, with 123 Democrats rebuffing the president and voting to override. Obama said during a CNN interview that overriding his veto was a mistake that may set a “dangerous precedent.”

Lawmakers said their priority wasn’t Saudi Arabia, but the 9/11 victims and their families who continue to demand justice 15 years after attackers killed nearly 3,000 people in New York, the Washington, D.C., area, and Pennsylvania.

Fifteen of the 19 Sept. 11 hijackers were Saudis.

“Overriding a presidential veto is something we don’t take lightly, but it was important in this case that the families of the victims of 9/11 be allowed to pursue justice, even if that pursuit causes some diplomatic discom-

forts,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., a chief sponsor of the bill.

Speaking at a forum in Washington, CIA Director John Brennan said he was concerned about how Saudi Arabia, a key U.S. ally in the Middle East, would interpret the bill. He said the Saudis provide significant amounts of information to the U.S. to help foil extremist plots.

“It would be an absolute shame if this legislation, in any way, influenced the Saudi willingness to continue to be among our best counterterrorism partners,” Brennan said.

On CNN, Obama said that a few lawmakers who backed the bill weren’t aware of its potential impact. He didn’t name them.

“And, frankly, I wish Congress here had done what’s hard,” he said. “It was, you know, basically a political vote.”

But Republicans and Democrats said the White House had been slow to respond to the bill and miscalculated lawmakers’ intent to act on the legislation along with the 15th anniversary of the terror attacks. When Obama and senior national security officials such as Defense Secretary Ash Carter finally weighed in, it was too late.

The Senate passed the bill by voice vote in May. The Obama White House then made the mistake of thinking the bill would stall in the Republican-controlled House. In August, 9/11 families pressured Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., while he was on a campaign swing in New York.

On Sept. 9, two days before the 15th anniversary of 9/11, the House passed the bill by voice vote with little debate.

Early votes: High interest buoys Clinton

By HOPE YEN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – More people are seeking or casting early ballots in the critical states of North Carolina and Florida than at this point in 2012, with Hillary Clinton the likely benefactor, as early voting shows signs of surging nationwide.

Clinton also might benefit from an increase in ballot requests in Georgia, a traditionally Republican state where Democrats have made inroads.

But Donald Trump is showing signs of strength in Iowa and parts of Maine, states won by Barack Obama in the last two presidential elections.

The latest snapshot of ballot data offers a glimpse into a key question: How much of a vote advantage can Clinton run up before Nov. 8, when more Republicans tend to vote? Traditionally Republicans have done better initially with early mail-in ballots, before Democrats surpass them once in-person early voting begins. While the ballot sample to date remains small, Clinton so far is hitting guideposts in several battleground states compared to 2008 and 2012.

Although preliminary, data com-

It also may indicate a higher overall turnout in an election that has generated enormous public interest despite – or because of – the unpopularity of both

major party candidates.

In Ohio, nearly 806,000 voters had submitted absentee ballot applications.

That’s up from nearly 723,000 during a similar period in 2012, when a record 1.87 million early ballots ultimately were cast by mail and in person.

In Greensboro, North Carolina,

Brandon Starkes, 28, cited the state’s unsuccessful bid to impose a voter ID law in his decision to vote early. The law was struck down as racially discriminatory.

“I want to make sure I don’t have to deal with issues at the polls on Election Day,” he said. Starkes plans to vote for Clinton.

In-person early voting begins Thursday in Iowa, while Florida, Arizona and New Hampshire mail out ballots beginning early next month.

In North Carolina, a must-win state for Trump, more than 69,150 ballots have been requested and 8,541 have been returned, according to AP data.

That’s up from 8,326 ballots returned during a similar period in 2012.

By party, Democrats made up 40 percent of the ballots returned compared to 35 percent for Republicans. At this point in 2012, Republicans had opened a wide lead over Democrats in returned ballots, 49 percent to 32 percent, leading to Mitt Romney’s narrow win. While Romney was boosted by older whites who voted early by mail, white voters so far have been down this year, to 82 percent from 86 percent of submitted ballots. Black voters, more likely to cast ballots in person, were higher at 12 percent.

JERUSALEM – Israel’s Shimon Peres was widely admired around the world as a peacemaker and visionary, but the view in the Arab world was more complex: Memories linger of another Peres, who built up Israel’s military might, waged war in Lebanon and promoted policies seen as harmful to the Palestinians.

In a reflection of this sentiment, Peres’ death on Wednesday was greeted with official silence across the Arab world – in sharp contrast to the emotional tributes that poured in from the West.

While a long list of Western dignitaries prepared to descend upon Jerusalem for Peres’ funeral on Friday, no Arab leaders are yet scheduled to come.

Even Egypt and Jordan, the two countries that have peace accords with Israel, had no official reaction Wednesday.

Arad Nir, the foreign affairs commentator for Channel 2 TV, said it would be “very sad” if the people who Peres negotiated with did not attend the funeral. “It puts a question mark on Shimon Peres’ vision, his life’s mission: Peace,” he said.

The silence reflects the animosity

cated legacy,” he said.

Peres gained worldwide fame – and a Nobel Peace Prize – as the architect of the historic Oslo interim peace accords with the Palestinians in the mid-1990s.

Late in life, he established a “peace center” in Tel Aviv that promoted coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians, and as the nation’s president he used the global stage to call for peace.

But in the Arab world, especially among Palestinians, many saw Peres’ vision of peace as all talk.

“He often presented himself as a man of peace, but no one in the Arab world really believed him,” said Abdullah el-Sennawy, a prominent Egyptian columnist. “Whenever there was war, he was there.”

As one of Israel’s founding fathers, Peres was associated with the “naqba,” or catastrophe, that befell the Palestinians in the war surrounding Israel’s creation, when hundreds of thousands fled or were forced from their homes.

“Peres was a significant contributor to the historic injustice that occurred to the Palestinian people,” Ghassan Khatib, a former Palestinian government spokesman in the West Bank, wrote on his Facebook page.

OUR VIEW

No reason not to vote As of Thursday, there are 40 days left until Nov. 8, otherwise known this year as Election Day. But you don’t have to wait 40 days to cast your ballot. You can pretty much vote any weekday through Nov. 8.

Thursday is the first day to cast a ballot in the November election through early voting options.

Ballots can be cast through the mail (often done by those in the military or temporarily residing overseas); early voting at the county clerk’s office (and starting Oct. 24 at some municipal offices too); and if you don’t register to vote or change your address by the deadline (Oct. 11), you can do grace period voting where you register late, but have to cast you ballot right then.

All this means you have no excuse for not voting in this year’s election. Gone are the days when ballots could just be cast on Election Day; there is no reason everyone can’t do their civic duty.

We do offer this caveat, though, if you’re casting your ballot early: Do your research before you vote. While the presidential race has dominated this year’s election’s cycle, there are other races on the ballot that deserve your attention.

There are some contested races for County Board seats, as well as contested countywide races for state’s attorney and 23rd Circuit judge on the ballot. Some of you may have a referendum to consider, such as the statewide referendum about using transportation funds only for transportation. There also are contested races for U.S. Senate and House.

Some of those contests may have a larger effect on your everyday life than who winds up being president. Generally speaking, the smaller the government, the bigger the chance the action it conducts actually will impact your life.

Candidates have websites and Facebook pages. Visit McHenry County Clerk Mary McClellan’s website to view sample ballots and find out where you can cast a ballot.

Soon, we will have Election Central – our online clearinghouse of local election news that will include questionnaires sent to candidates in contested races – online so you have another place to go for information about the candidates including their position on issues.

Make a commitment this year to make sure your voice is heard. Just make sure it’s informed.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

The debate that frightened the world The presidential debate Monday did not absorb just Americans; it was closely followed by adversaries and allies of the United States across the globe.

Many of the latter will have new cause for alarm as they reflect on a string of ignorant misstatements and irresponsible assertions by Donald Trump.

Start with Japan, the closest U.S. ally in Asia, bound to Washington by a mutual defense treaty.

Trump declared: “We can’t defend Japan” because “they do not pay us.” That will be news in Tokyo, which annually budgets about $4 billion to cover the costs of American bases – so much some analysts estimate it is cheaper to keep 54,000 military personnel in Japan than it would be to return them to the United States. That’s not to speak of the contribution Japan makes to defending vital U.S. interests, such as checking aggression by China and North Korea. The government of Shinzo Abe recently fought to modify the constitution so as to make deeper defense cooperation with the United States possible. Yet Trump suggests his administration would

not continue this vital alliance because “we’re losing a fortune.”

The same goes for the NATO alliance, which has kept democratic Europe secure for 65 years. Trump made some cavalier comments about an “obsolete” transatlantic alliance earlier this year, at a time when, as he conceded Monday, he hadn’t “given lots of thought to NATO.” Remarkably, with six weeks to go until the presidential election, he seems to have done no more thinking, or learning. He said NATO countries “should at least be paying us what they are supposed to be paying by treaty and contract.” But there are no such treaties or contracts; NATO is a mutual defense pact.

Trump also claimed after he said NATO should devote itself to terrorism, it set up a “major terror division.” (He said he learned this from a newspaper article.) Could he really be unaware, as Hillary Clinton pointed out, the only time NATO’s mutual defense article has been invoked was after Sept.

11, 2001, and NATO has been fighting terrorism in Afghanistan ever since? Apparently so.

The GOP candidate’s flights of

fancy must have prompted some amusement as well as alarm in foreign capitals. Take his assertion the Iranian nuclear deal should have required Tehran to “do something with respect to North Korea” and its nuclear arsenal because “Iran has power over North Korea.” Or consider Trump’s claim that “had we taken the oil ... ISIS would not have been able to form ... because oil was their primary source of income.”

But the Islamic State obtained the majority of its oil from Syria. Is Trump saying the United States should have invaded that country to seize its wells?

Unfortunately, Trump’s ludicrous assertions have serious implications. As Clinton put it, “words matter when you run for president.” She added, “I want to reassure our allies in Japan and South Korea and elsewhere that we have mutual defense treaties and we will honor them.” No doubt U.S. allies will be comforted if she wins in November. Between now and then, like a lot of Americans, they will fear for their future.

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.

The Washington Post

VIEWS Ramesh Ponnuru he feared the Republican National Committee.

But it’s not just Trump-supporting Republicans who are making foolish threats of punishing the Republicans with whom they disagree. Writing in USA Today, Gabriel Schoenfeld said anti-Trump conservatives should “banish” everyone from the Republican Party who has endorsed Trump, including House Speaker Paul Ryan.

Getting rid of everyone who endorsed Trump is an ambitious goal, given most of the party’s elected officials fall into that category. It’s even more ambitious when you consider the reason so many of them endorsed him is most Republican voters support him: 87 percent of them in a recent poll. No ambitious Republican politician, even one as solidly antiTrump as Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse, is going to repudiate all those voters.

So there would be too many people to purge, and too few people interested in doing it, for Schoenfeld’s plan to succeed. It would not even have the full support of the small faction of

the party that still is dead-set against Trump. Some Republicans find Trump too odious to support but respect other Republicans’ reasons for reaching a different conclusion. Some of them don’t think punishing Trump supporters is practical.

How would the strategy be executed, anyway? House Republicans are not going to dump Ryan as their leader because he endorsed Trump: Most of them endorsed the nominee, too. Primary voters in Ryan’s district aren’t going to vote him out because he endorsed Trump: They voted in large numbers to renominate him after he did it, and the opposition he faced tended to come from people who were more pro-Trump than he is.

None of that means anti-Trump Republicans should give up on influencing their party. But a realistic strategy would have to set limited objectives. In the event of a big Trump defeat, his critics should have no qualms about arguing nominating him threw away a winnable race and people who played key roles in enabling his nomination, such as Sarah Palin and Jeff Sessions, made a costly error of judgment that should make people less willing to follow their lead in the future. In that way and others, they should work to reduce the

influence of the Trump faction within the party.

But that wouldn’t mean casting Palin or Sessions into outer darkness.

And it doesn’t – can’t – entail repudiating the voter who picked Trump in the New Hampshire primary because he seemed like a successful and entertaining businessman. Or the South Carolinian who thought he was the only candidate who took his concerns about illegal immigration seriously.

Or the politician who decided after Trump won the nomination he is preferable to Hillary Clinton.

What anti-Trump Republicans need to do, in other words, is patiently tug the party in a better direction. For people with strong anti-Trump views – views with which I sympathize! – that course is bound to be less emotionally satisfying than calling for purges. Perhaps the pro-Trump and anti-Trump Republicans have more in common than they realize: Both seem intent on pursuing their grievances rather than their interests.

Poised to move backward on clean energy, climate change

To the Editor: There’s been a pattern over the past 40 years. President Jimmy Carter put us on a path to clean energy. President Ronald Reagan did an about-face. President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore tried to begin to address climate change.

President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, two oil men, put us on a path to be more dependent on fossil fuels. President Obama has done more to move to clean energy and to address climate change than any other president.

In other words, every eight years or so, we go backward on moving to clean energy and addressing climate change. It’s why atmospheric CO2 levels have risen from 280 ppm when I was in college to 400 ppm or so today, and are climbing.

Now we have one candidate who wants to erect a billion solar panels. The

and resonate with inexperience about the operations of schools. Consolidation may, in some circumstances, be very beneficial to students and taxpayers, but that can be established only with a detailed study of the consolidating school districts, not by off-the-cuff comments by a regional superintendent.

The need for a regional superintendent’s office is long gone. This office no longer is needed and should be abolished, and taxpayers and school districts would benefit by the cost savings and elimination of this costly political bureaucracy.

Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, mused in public the party might block Jeb Bush or John Kasich from running for the Republican presidential nomination again because they reneged on their pledge to back the nominee this year.

It’s natural for an RNC chief to want his party unified in support of its presidential candidate. But it’s not clear Priebus’ threat is helping his party. If Donald Trump wins the election, then it is unlikely Kasich or Bush will run in four years.

If he loses, on the other hand, Priebus or his successor at the RNC will have two interests that both cut against making good on his threat.

Republicans will want to tamp down the intraparty recriminations that would follow the defeat. This is, after all, part of what promoting party unity means. Republicans also will want to win back the voters who deserted them because of Trump. Trying to punish prominent Republicans who shared these voters’ anti-Trump sentiments would set back that goal.

Even now, making the threat does not appear to be enhancing Republican unity. Kasich aides told Priebus to buzz off. Ted Cruz endorsed Trump, but nobody thinks it was because

Yellen: Economy likely ready for rate hike

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen said Wednesday that the central bank has no “fixed timetable” for raising interest rates but she believes the economy is ready for a rate hike by the end of the year.

She said during an appearance before the House Financial Services Committee that when the Fed met last week, a majority of her colleagues believed it would be appropriate to raise rates before the end of this year.

The Fed boosted its key policy rate in December 2015 to a range of 0.25 percent to 0.5 percent. But since then, officials have left the rate unchanged.

Yellen told the lawmakers that she believed it would make sense to boost the rate again “if things continue on the current path and no significant new risks arise.”

The Fed last week voted 7-3 to keep its key interest rate where it has been all year. But it did send a strong signal that it is prepared to raise rates before the end of the year, with many expecting a move in December.

Yellen said that while inflation is not a threat at the moment, it is possible that the economy could begin to overheat with prices rising too quickly, forcing the Fed to accelerate the pace of rate hikes and raising the threat of a recession.

“If we allow the economy to overheat, we could be faced with having to raise interest rates more rapidly than we would want which could conceiv-

Federal Reserve Board Chairwoman Janet Yellen testifies Wednesday on Capitol Hill in Washington before the House Financial Services Committee. Yellen said the financial health of the nation’s banking system has strengthened considerably since the 2008 financial crisis, in part because of tougher regulations passed by Congress in 2010. ably jeopardize that good state of affairs that we have come close to achieving,” Yellen told lawmakers.

Some Republicans on the panel echoed a charge that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump made during Monday’s debate that the Fed had become too political and was delaying rate hikes in an effort to help Democrats win the election.

“We are in a big, fat ugly bubble,”

Trump said during the debate. “We have a Fed that’s doing political things.

This Janet Yellen of the Fed.” Rep. Scott Garrett, R-N.J., pressed Yellen to say whether she believed Fed board member Lael Brainard should recuse herself from voting on interest rate decisions given that she has donated to Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

Yellen said that federal law allows Fed governors to make political do-

nations. Garrett also said he viewed Yellen’s meetings with Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew and other Treasury Department officials as evidence she was too close to the Obama administration.

All Fed leaders, whether Democrats or Republicans, have followed the practice of holding weekly sessions with the Treasury secretary to review U.S. and global economic developments.

“I certainly have never been pressured in any way by the administration,” Yellen told the committee. “The (Obama) administration, my experience has been, greatly respects the Fed’s independence to make decisions in accordance with the Fed’s mandate.”

Yellen, who was testifying Wednesday on the Fed’s role in regulating the nation’s banking system, received a number of questions from lawmakers about the situation at Wells Fargo and whether federal banking regulators fell down on the job by not detecting practices at the nation’s second largest bank that allegedly had Wells Fargo employees opening millions of accounts without customers’ permission.

Yellen said it was important for top management at all banks to make sure that the compensation policies they establish do not create incentives for executives to pursue improper policies that harm customers or put the banks’ safety at risk.

In her testimony, Yellen said that the health of the financial system has strengthened considerably since the 2008 economic crisis, in part because of tougher regulations passed by Congress in 2010.

NEW YORK – “Saturday Night Live” has made a YUGE decision: It has chosen Alec Baldwin to impersonate GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump.

NBC announced this deal Wednesday with a promo on social media, just days before “SNL” begins its 42nd season and little more than a month before voters choose between Trump and his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton.

Baldwin, a veteran “SNL” guest host, will debut his Trump impression opposite cast member Kate McKinnon’s continuing turn as Clinton.

Kevin Hart tops Forbes list of highest-paid comedians

Pippa Middleton (left), the sister of Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, watches the quarterfinal tennis match on June 19, 2015, at the Queen’s Championships in London. A British judge on Wednesday banned publication of stolen photographs of Middleton allegedly taken in a hacking attack on her iCloud account.

UK judge bans publication of hacked Pippa Middleton photos LONDON – A British judge on Wednesday banned the publication of stolen photographs of Pippa Middleton after allegations that 3,000 personal images were taken in a hacking attack on her iCloud account.

High Court justice Philippa Whipple made the order after Middleton, sister of the Duchess of Cambridge, and her fiancé James Matthews went to court against the “person or persons unknown” who are responsible for the hack.

Whipple said Middleton feared that “other private information beyond photographs” had been taken.

Middleton “has good reason to fear that all the information held in her iCloud account has been accessed,” the judge said.

The Sun newspaper said Saturday it was contacted by a purported hacker seeking at least 50,000 pounds ($65,000) for the photos. It said the seller communicated using the pseudonym “Crafty Cockney” on an encrypted messaging service and sent sample photos showing Middleton being fitted for a wedding dress in advance of her wedding next year.

The Sun said the hacker also claimed to possess Middleton’s informal images of sister Kate with her children, Princess Charlotte and Prince George, and naked images of Matthews.

Police arrested a 35-year-old man Saturday on suspicion of offenses under the Computer Misuse Act. He was later released on bail pending further inquiries.

Middleton’s lawyer, Adam Wolanski, said the alleged theft had caused Middleton “considerable distress.” He said he believed the hack was genuine but the perpetrator had not been identified yet.

NEW YORK – Kevin Hart is literally laughing all the way to the bank. The funnyman tops the Forbes magazine list of the highest-paid comedians with earnings of $87.5 million.

Hart, who had roles in the films “Central Intelligence” and “Secret Life of Pets” as well as his lucrative “What Now?” comedy tour, dethrones longtime earnings leader Jerry Seinfeld, who made $43.5 million.

The magazine compiled the estimated income from June 2015 to June 2016.

Amy Schumer made her list debut, landing in fourth place behind Terry Fator with earnings of $17 million. Schumer is the only woman to ever make the highest-paid comedians list.

Jeff Dunham was in fifth with $13.5 million, Dave Chapelle was next with $13 million and Jim Gaffigan earned $12.5 million for seventh place.

Amy Schumer is most dangerous celebrity online

LOS ANGELES – Amy Schumer is the most dangerous celebrity on the internet – and not just because of her no-holds-barred personality.

Intel Security announced Wednesday that the actress-comedian topped its 10th annual list of the most dangerous celebrities online.

A search for the “Trainwreck” and “Inside Amy Schumer” star carries over a 16 percent chance of connecting with a site that carries viruses or malware.

Schumer was followed on Intel’s list by Justin Bieber, Carson Daly, Will Smith, Rihanna and Miley Cyrus.

Other comedians on the list included Chris Hardwick (No. 7), Daniel Tosh (No. 8), Nikki Glaser (No. 15), Kevin Hart (No. 25), Mindy Kaling (No. 30) and Kristen Wig (No. 52).

Lin-Manuel Miranda to host Disney to make live-action ‘Saturday Night Live’ ‘Lion King,’ Favreau to direct LOS ANGELES – Alexander Hamilton is NEW YORK – The animated classic “The Lion King” will be the latest Disney film to get a live-action remake.

Disney announced Wednesday that Jon Favreau, who helmed the box-office hit “Jungle Book” remake, will direct the new “Lion King.” He’s also at work on a “Jungle Book” sequel.

The circle of life now inevitably leads to live-action remakes for Disney classics. The new “Lion King” follows in the wake of “The Jungle Book,” “Cinderella,” “Pete’s Dragon” and the upcoming “Beauty and the Beast.”

NBC said Wednesday that Lin-Manuel Miranda will host “SNL” on Oct. 8. Miranda created and starred in the Broadway sensation about the first U.S. treasury secretary.

Twenty One Pilots duo Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun will be the show’s musical guests.

Miranda has a bit more time on his hands: He wrapped his run in the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical “Hamilton” in July. He will star opposite Emily Blunt in Disney’s sequel to “Mary Poppins” and he wrote music for the upcoming “Moana.”

30 Get potassium from foods, not supplements Dear Dr. K: I have high blood pressure.

Should I take a potassium supplement?

Dear Reader: This is a great question, but before I answer, let me take a step back to explain the connection between potassium and blood pressure.

Tens of thousands of years ago, our ancestors survived on wild animals and a variety of plant foods. This diet delivered plenty of potassium but scant sodium. Today, the average American diet contains about twice as much sodium as potassium, as a result of the high levels of salt in processed foods. This sodium-potassium imbalance is thought to be a major contributor to high blood pressure.

Now, back to your question. The short answer is no, you should not take potassium supplements unless your doctor prescribes them. People on blood pressure medications, in particular, need to be careful about potassium supplements.

Many blood pressure medications can lower your potassium level. Very low potassium can lead to dangerous heart rhythms.

Many commonly prescribed diuretics lower potassium levels. If you are taking potassium-lowering diuretics, your doctor will check the level of potassium in your blood. If it is low, the doctor may prescribe potassium supplements.

But other types of diuretics and other commonly prescribed blood pressure medicines can raise potassium levels. Examples of such drugs are the diuretic called spironolactone, the drugs called ACE inhibitors and drugs called angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). Common painkillers such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) can raise potassium levels. Abnormally high potassium levels also can cause dangerous heart rhythms.

If you are taking any medicines known to either raise or lower your potassium to dangerous levels, your doctor periodically

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff should check your blood potassium level.

Keeping that level in the correct range is important. This mineral plays a key role in the function of nerves and muscles, including heart muscle.

Your kidneys help regulate potassium levels in your blood. They tend to keep your potassium level from going abnormally high or low. But age and medical conditions may impair kidney function.

The FDA limits over-the-counter potassium supplements to less than 100 milligrams. However, grocery stores carry salt substitutes that may contain much higher amounts of potassium. People trying to curb their sodium intake may use salt substitutes.

That’s a bad idea if you take a blood pressure medicine that tends to raise potassium levels.

Your best bet is to get your potassium from foods instead of pills. Many fruits and vegetables are rich in potassium. Spinach, sweet potatoes, cantaloupe, bananas and avocado all are good sources. Potassium-rich diets help control blood pressure and also lower your risk of stroke.

Another connection between potassium and high blood pressure is a rare condition of the adrenal glands that can cause both high blood pressure and very low blood potassium levels.

So if you have high blood pressure, ask your doctor what your potassium level is. If the doctor hasn’t checked your potassium, gently suggest it might be a good idea.

Dear Abby: My DEAR ABBY husband recently disclosed to me Jeanne he was sexually Phillips abused by his cousin, who is the same age, when he was in high school. She blackmailed him by threatening to tell everyone he had raped her. She used this power over him to coax sexual favors but never intercourse.

After a year of looking for help, he confided in his mother, but she ended up getting drunk and telling the whole family about the situation.

Luckily, he was able to convince most of them it was “just the alcohol talking.” At that point, his cousin finally found a boyfriend and stopped blackmailing him.

This all happened five years ago. He hasn’t lived in the same state as his mom or the abuser in three years. I can tell by confiding in me he feels much better, but I’m worried he blames himself for his mother’s alcoholism and his ruined relationships with his close friends in high school. – Concerned Spouse Dear Concerned Spouse: Encourage your husband to talk to a licensed psychotherapist about what was done to him. Victims sometimes blame themselves. I seriously doubt his mother’s alcohol abuse had anything to do with him. That she betrayed his confidence instead of helping him was terrible. A therapist can explain all this to him, and help him to see things clearly so he can decide how to proceed.

Dear Abby: I’m planning on getting married this year, but I have cold feet. One day I want to be married; the next day I don’t. My fiancée is my best friend, and we have been dating for more than four years. Is there any way to get over wedding jitters and live life to the fullest? –

By ALEX KANTECKI akantecki@shawmedia.com PRAIRIE GROVE – For the first time, five teams had an opportunity to capture the Fox Valley Conference championship heading into the FVC girls golf meet Wednesday at Prairie Isle.

Huntley led in points with the fewest conference dual losses, but Crystal Lake Central co-op entered as the tournament favorite after winning the previous three titles.

“Coming in, we were just thinking, ‘Beat Huntley,’ ” said Molly Lyne, a Cary-Grove freshman and the Tigers’ No. 1 golfer. “Try as hard as we can as a team and make every stroke count.”

Jacobs and McHenry also had a shot at winning conference, and Prairie Ridge had an outside chance after upsetting Crystal Lake Central co-op at the same course two days earlier.

But, for the fourth straight year, the Tigers found a way to the tournament and conference title, beating Huntley by five strokes and hoisting the FVC meet trophy six hours after teeing off.

Central finished first with a 360, Huntley was second with a 365 and Jacobs (372) placed third. McHenry senior Maddie Ogden won the individual title with an 80 for the fourth-place Warriors (374).

“I think it brings out the competitive edge in the girls,” Tigers coach Kyle McCaughn said. “Teams are improving; everybody is a little more solid and has good golfers, and that’s what makes it fun. They have that competition with themselves, and there’s a lot of commonalities with the schools.”

Lyne placed second in her first FVC meet with an 82, Crystal Lake Central’s Rylie Schurter placed third with an 84, Crystal Lake Central’s Kat Bevill (93) took 10th, and Crystal Lake South’s Julie Newton (101) rounded out the scoring for the first-place Tigers.

Lyne started her round with a triple bogey, but finished with two birdies on the par-4 No. 2 and the par-4 No. 14.

“It wasn’t my best start, but I came back a little bit,” Lyne said. “I missed a lot of putts for up-and-downs, but I

The wind had a pretty big effect, but the rain didn’t bother me. There were a lot of people following our group, so it was kind of intimidating as a freshman, but I very much enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun.”

Ogden, who made nine pars and one birdie, and the rest of her McHenry teammates practiced at Boone Creek in Bull Valley in the morning and her confidence wasn’t high, she said.

“I came out thinking, ‘I know there is a lot of good girls playing,’ so I was just going to come out and have a good time,” Ogden said. “I was in a really good group. I didn’t put any pressure

on myself and everything just worked out. My drives were great, my putting, which is usually not my best, ended up being really good today.

“My goal was to stay positive, stay in the present and not worry about any of my other shots.”

Huntley’s Caroline Giorgi led the Red Raiders with an 88 and was fifth, Nicole Gordus (90) and Katie Weidner (91) took sixth and seventh, respectively, and Katie Matustik (96) was 14th.

“This season was great, and we definitely came together as a team,” said Giorgi, who was 2-over through 11 holes. “We wanted a goal of winning conference, but we just fell a little short. All of us girls have played fantastic golf. Our JV girls are killing it, and I’m glad my senior year is ending on a high.”

The top 14 golfers earned medals and all-conference honors. Jacobs’ Stephanie Fiorentino, who was runner-up at last year’s FVC meet, shot an 87 and finished fourth overall to lead the Golden Eagles.

Also earning all-conference honors were McHenry’s Joely Pugliese (92, eighth place), Prairie Ridge’s Sophia Pascente (93, ninth), Jacobs’ Hayley Masching (94, 11th) and Roslyn Leitner (94, 12th), and Dundee-Crown’s Alyssa Trebat (95, 13th).

Prairie Ridge was fifth with a 385, Hampshire (438) was sixth, and Dundee-Crown (443) took seventh.

Prairie Ridge’s Garrett Crump (center) celebrates after the Wolves defeated Cary-Grove, 26-14, Aug. 26 in Cary.

PREP FOOTBALL: PRAIRIE RIDGE

By SEAN HAMMOND shammond@shawmedia.com A year ago, Prairie Ridge rode its way to the Class 6A state semifinals, outscoring opponents by an average of 38.9 points a game in its 11 victories.

The Wolves’ offense did that behind a line with experience returning at every position.

This time around, Prairie Ridge has opened the 2016 season 5-0, and although playmakers such as quarterback Samson Evans and running back Cole Brown returned from last year’s team, the offensive line is filled almost entirely with new faces.

Junior tackle Jeff Jenkins is one holdover, as is tight end Austen Ferbet. Gone are Kyle Heinzmann, Ryan Orr, Dereck Pearson and Luke Ponga.

In their places stepped seniors Cory Kimble, Grant Golata, Garrett Crump and Scott Nygren (who injured his knee in Week 3 against Crystal Lake Central), along with juniors Justin Grapenthin and Ben Schultz.

The injury to Nygren has caused some position shifting in recent weeks, but through the first half of the season the unit has been solid.

“They’ve filled in great,” Jenkins said of the new faces around him. “A couple guys were around last year. (Having) the sophomores for the playoffs, that was nice, them being able to see how hard they have to work in practice and what has to be done.”

Grapenthin didn’t play with last year’s seniors as much as Jenkins. But he still learned a lot from them as a freshman and sophomore.

“Those guys before us were awesome,” Grapenthin said. “The offensive line is one of the closest groups of guys on the field. Personally speaking, you felt like you were right

at home with those guys, too. They taught you everything you know.”

The Wolves’ triple-option offense has propelled three players into the top 15 in the area in rushing – Evans, Brown and running back Emmanuel Ebirim (all have more than 400 rushing yards). As always, the line deserves much of the credit.

Coach Chris Schremp spends considerable time overseeing the line. The Wolves also have brought in Scott Taylor, who played at Marian Central and spent time on the football teams at Northern Illinois and Eastern Illinois. Tight ends coach Bill Murphy also spends time coaching the line.

With plenty of eyes on the linemen, the focus lately has been on improving as pass blockers, something the Wolves don’t do often. When they do, it usually provides big results.

At tight end, Ferbet is the wild card.

The Army commit spends a lot of time blocking, while sneaking out for a pass on occasion. In the words of Grapenthin: “He’s kind of a part of us, he’s just faster than all of us and catches the ball.”

Ferbet has caught nine passes – four have gone for touchdowns. Jenkins said it’s not common to have a tight end who can block and catch well, but in Ferbet they have just that. “(He’s) so athletic,” Jenkins said. “And when you block him or he blocks you, you can definitely feel it.”

As the season progresses, the Wolves’ linemen will have a chance to make their own mark, much as last year’s unit did. After the nonconference win over Bartlett, Prairie Ridge begins a four-game stretch against Fox Valley Conference opponents, starting Friday with McHenry.

How did you celebrate your birthday? I went out to dinner with my family and spent the night with them.

Have you ever scored on a kick return before? No, not in high school.

What did you see on the play? I was initially going to run toward the sideline because that’s where it was designed to go. I was the second-line guy, I wasn’t really supposed to get the ball. I tried to do it (go toward the sideline). I didn’t see anything. That’s why I made the cut to the middle.

The guys just made great blocks. All I had to do was run to the end zone.

What did you eat before the game? My mom made me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with Smucker’s grape jelly.

Do you have a pregame ritual?

Not really. When I get into the locker room before the game, some of the guys will play pump-up music on the loudspeaker. So that kind of gets me psyched up.

Is there anybody you style your game after? Not really, I try to go out there and do the best that I can.

It changes week to week, if coach wants me going out for more passes or focus on running.

Proud Sponsor of Athlete of the Week What’s your proudest sports moment? Probably last year when I was a sophomore and got moved up to varsity. The way the upperclassmen accepted me, I thought it was really cool of them and I made a lot of long-lasting friendships.

Who’s your biggest hero? Probably my parents (Tony and Tracey Leva), they support me and help me with every decision I make. I have a great support system.

Do you have other hobbies besides sports? Not really. I like to hang out with my friends and watch movies.

What are your three favorite movies? “The Dark Knight,” “Warrior” and I like all the “Star Wars” movies.

What’s something that people wouldn’t know about you? Something I think is special is that my family is really close with my extended family. My cousins and aunts, we spend a lot of time together.

Who’s your funniest teammate?

Probably my O-lineman Max Klinsky.

He is not afraid to say anything and he’s really good at lightening the mood.

What’s the coolest place you’ve ever been? I went to Hilton Head (Island), South Carolina, two summers ago and I really enjoyed it there.

If you could take any three people to dinner, who would you take?

My grandma Shirley, who I never met, Michael Jordan and John F. Kennedy.

Inside Prep Sports ATHLETE OF THE WEEK PAYTON LANGE McHenry, so., swimmer Lange set four school records with her weekend performance at Palatine. Despite it being a junior-varsity or frosh/soph meet, Lange’s winning times of 52.69 in the 100-yard freestyle and 59.08 in the 100 backstroke were good enough to break not only McHenry’s frosh/soph records but also set varsity records in both events. She also swam on two winning relays.

NOTEWORTHY

Girls tennis Jacobs gets past PR: The biggest dual match of the Fox Valley Conference season came last week when Jacobs and Prairie Ridge met, both undefeated in conference play to that point. Jacobs won, 4-3, getting a win at No. 3 singles and taking the top three doubles matches. The No. 1 doubles match was a key swing match, going three sets.

Prairie Ridge’s Kaitlyn Cox and Kaitlyn Theil won the first set, 7-5, before Jacobs’ Katie Toomire and Kylie Skepnek rallied to win the next two, 6-3, 6-2. The win, along with beating McHenry on Tuesday, gives Jacobs

Proud Sponsor of Athlete of the Week a chance at another undefeated FVC season.

The Golden Eagles close out the dual schedule Thursday against Dundee-Crown.

Boys golf Grayslake Central Rams Invitational: Prairie Ridge edged Jacobs, 325-326, for third place Saturday at Stonewall Orchard.

PRESEASON: BLACKHAWKS

First-round draft pick in 2011 has nothing left to prove in AHL

Hawks shut out in preseason opener

He was a first-round draft pick in 2011, so long ago the Hawks were barely a year removed from their first Stanley Cup of the modern era. At 23, he’s closer in age to Patrick Kane than Alex DeBrincat. He was Rockford’s second-leading scorer last season, the leading scorer the year before that, and the fifth-leading scorer the year before that. He’s been on the cusp of the NHL for so long, this is his fifth training camp in Chicago.

That’s why it’s so jarring to realize that Wednesday’s preseason opener was the first actual game McNeill ever played at the United Center.

“I’m thrilled,” he said before the game. “I’m excited I’m in the lineup. I’m planning to come out flying and have a lot of fun with it.”

If there’s any bitterness in McNeill, any frustration at seeing so many prospects – most of them younger, most of them less productive at the AHL level – promoted ahead of him, he’s not showing it. Even after having to wait until July 15 to sign a one-year, two-way contract as a restricted free agent, McNeill sounds as happy and optimistic as ever.

He even showed up for the Hawks fan convention without a deal in place (it finally was announced the day the convention began).

“Of course, there are uncertainties when you’re an unsigned player, but I’ve always loved being a part of the Blackhawks organization and being here,” McNeill said. “I want nothing more than to try to make this team and help this team win. My focus was trying to get a contract to come back here.”

The loyalty to the franchise that drafted him and the determination to stick it out are perfectly understandable. But from afar, McNeill seemed like one of those career prospects who desperately needed a new city and a new team, one that would give him a real chance to make it in the NHL. After all, in the five years he’s been in the Hawks organization, he’s played in only one NHL game – at Carolina last season.

about in trade discussions over the summer, with his hometown Edmonton Oilers in the mix, according to a source.

But with the Hawks facing an alarming dearth of forwards, McNeill’s best shot might indeed still be in Chicago.“This is certainly a big year,” assistant coach Kevin Dineen said. “We’ve talked about players in the past that need the quote-unquote change of scenery, but I think Mark’s main focus over the next couple of weeks is to make the NHL in a Blackhawk uniform.”

To do that, Dineen said, McNeill will need to play with a physical edge and throw his 6-foot-2, 212-pound frame around, and to even “defend” his teammates should the need arise. McNeill has scored 18, 23 and 25 goals in his three full seasons in Rockford. There basically is nothing left for him to prove at the AHL level.

For years, McNeill and Phil Danault – drafted eight picks apart in 2011 – were intrinsically linked within the organization and among the fan base. And McNeill admitted it’s “a little strange” to be at a Hawks camp without his longtime running buddy. But Danault got his cup of coffee in the NHL in 2014-15, and broke through permanently last season, playing 30 games before being traded to Montreal at the trade deadline.

It’s just another sign of just how long McNeill has been waiting for his first real chance at the NHL. In that January game in Carolina, he played 12 minutes, 44 seconds, and failed to record a point, a shot on goal or even a shot attempt.

His only marks on the scoresheet were a takeaway and three hits. But the experience has lingered in his memory, and has driven him to keep chasing his NHL dream, and to keep chasing it in Chicago.

“Once you get that taste, you just want more,” he said. “I’m a pretty self-motivated guy, and I’m pretty hungry to achieve my goals and make it here.”

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@profootballweekly.com LAKE FOREST – Injuries have been a real issue for the Bears in the past nine days, and even John Fox missed practice Wednesday.

The Bears’ coach is dealing with a stomach bug. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who addressed the team during the team meeting and after practice, said it was “business as usual.”

QB Jay Cutler (thumb) did return to practice in a limited fashion. DE Jonathan Bullard (toe), ILB Jerrell Freeman (ribs), WR Alshon Jeffery (knee), RG Kyle Long (shoulder), DB Sherrick McManis (hamstring), CB Tracy Porter (knee), LG Josh Sitton (shoulder), DE Mitch Unrein (knee) and OLB Willie Young (knee) all were limited as the Bears began their prep for the Lions on Sunday.

RB Ka’Deem Carey (hamstring), NT Eddie Goldman (ankle), S Harold Jones-Quartey (concussion), RB Jeremy Langford (ankle) and ILB Danny Trevathan (thumb) did not practice.

Pass rush needs improvement: The Bears did not sack Dak Prescott on Sunday night and hit him only one time, with players referring to the rookie’s ability to get rid of the ball quickly, something Lions QB Mat-

thew Stafford certainly will try to do Sunday.

Even when Prescott held the ball a second longer, the defensive front couldn’t get to him.

“I think a lot of the teams throw it pretty quick these days. Our rush wasn’t good enough when they weren’t throwing it quick and it was evident by the times [Prescott] scrambled. He scrambled three times for first downs and they hurt us,” Fangio said. “Our rush wasn’t good enough. There are a lot of passes that the rush won’t be a factor because it is coming out fast. But we have to get better coverage to make them hold the ball longer, too.”

Next steps for Glenn: With CB Kyle Fuller on injured reserve, the starting corner spot opposite Porter will continue to be Jacoby Glenn’s. Fangio said Glenn has been good against deep balls and needs to bring that play to shorter throws.

“He’s made some good plays on some deep balls and down the field, which has been good,” Fangio said. “... We’ve got to get him to play tighter and more aggressive on the shorter throws and improve his overall play that way.”

Glenn leads the team through three games with five passes defensed.

Supreme Court asked to block $1B NFL concussion settlement

PHILADELPHIA – A second petition has been filed asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reject the $1 billion settlement of NFL concussion lawsuits because of how it treats current brain injuries versus future ones.

The former players who filed the petition complain that chronic traumatic encephalopathy diagnosed before the April 2015 cutoff can bring $4 million while future CTE diagnoses aren’t compensated. They said that violates Supreme Court rulings that insist each subgroup in a class-action settlement be treated fairly.

SEATTLE – Chad Marshall headed in a corner kick in the 24th minute, and the Seattle Sounders beat the Fire, 1-0, Wednesday night to get back into the MLS playoff picture.

The Fire were eliminated from postseason contention.

HUNTING

Youth waterfowl hunting will be available at a number of Illinois state parks, fish and wildlife areas, conservation areas and recreation areas for the 2016 North Zone Youth Waterfowl season.

At most sites, regulations that apply during the regular waterfowl hunting season apply during the Youth Hunt (hunters should check for site-specific regulations, including changes in legal shooting hours).

During the Youth Hunt, the bag limits are the same as during regular seasons. As part of the Youth Hunt, hunters aged 17 or younger can hunt ducks, geese, coots and mergansers as long as they are accompanied by an adult at least 18 years of age. The accompanying adult cannot hunt these species, but may participate in other open seasons.

Youth hunters must have a hunting license, Youth Hunting License or Apprentice Hunting License. The youth hunter or his or her accompanying adult must have a valid FOID card. The supervising adult does not have to have a hunting license if he or she is not hunting other species.

Youth hunters age 15 or younger are not required to have state or federal duck stamps; however, youth hunters age 16 and older must have state and federal duck stamps, even if they are using a Illinois Youth License.

The list of state and federal sites to be open during the Youth Waterfowl Hunts in the North Zone are: Chain O’Lakes State Park; Des Plaines State Fish and Wildlife Area; Lake DePue SFWA; Sinnissippi Lake Wildlife Area; Mississippi River Pools (All located in North Zone); William W. Powers State Recreation Area.

Let’s hit the mailbag to answer a few questions and comments that thoughtful readers sent in. Remember, folks, I don’t mind being called out when I make a mistake.

One reader, who shall remain nameles, wrote, “I bought a 1911 a few years back at a gun show. I filled out a one page form, and picked the gun up at the kid’s house a few days later.

Have they tightened the rules on that loop hole?”

My response was: “There was a change in 2015, but it still is basically very simple to arrange a sale between two private parties. There is a form that needs to be completed and it is supposed to be sent off for a background check. I guess it is easy for a private party selling one gun to skirt the rules.

“Gun shows are different animals, as the dealers usually are in the gun business and would not jeopardize their businesses by not handling the transactions or the paperwork involved with them correctly.

“It’s funny, but it seems that most of the times I have been at gun shows, many of the dealers are police people, and many of the customers are, as well. I feel completely safe while walking the aisles of a gun show.”

The same reader responded again.

“Chicago police make you feel safe?

You must be white.”

That’s why I didn’t print the reader’s name. I don’t find the subject of the tragic gun violence situation that Chicago is facing to be the least bit funny. Yes, police make me feel safe. I support our law enforcement community.

Leon C. Hinz Jr., stream ecologist for the Illinois Natural History Survey’s Prairie Research Institute at the University of Illinois, wrote: “I saw your recent article that mentioned spearing fish in Michigan.

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com PITTSBURGH – Just ahead of their most anticipated October in generations, the Cubs reached agreement on a five-year contract extension with the architect of this year’s World Series favorite.

Team president Theo Epstein reached agreement over the weekend on a deal sources said is valued in the neighborhood of the five-year, $50 million package Andrew Friedman received from the Theo Epstein Dodgers before last season. The guaranteed base is said to be below that figure, but includes incentive and bonus clauses.

Epstein and chairman Tom Ricketts met four times over the summer, Ricketts said, before finalizing the deal Saturday and announcing it Wednesday.

They originally intended to announce it Sunday, before the death of young Miami pitching star Jose Fernandez early Sunday morning sent shock waves through baseball.

“There was never any real drama throughout the summer,” Ricketts said of a deal that was called imminent since before spring training.

The announcement comes in the fi-

Jaso hits for the cycle; Cubs lose PITTSBURGH (AP) – With the Cubs supposedly fine-tuning things for postseason form, ace Jake Arrieta was roughed up by the Pittsburgh Pirates in an 8-4 loss Wednesday night.

Pirates first baseman John Jaso hit for the cycle, and Arrieta (18-8) gave up seven runs and 10 hits – both season-highs – in five innings. But manager Joe Maddon said there isn’t cause for concern that the Cubs’ starter won’t be able to right the ship come October.

“That was probably the best strike-throwing I have seen out of him,” Maddon said. “He was throwing very well. Up until the home run by Jaso, there’s just a couple singles to the opposite field. That was it. Then, the last inning kind of got away from us too. But he wasn’t that bad today. None of it made sense to me.” nal week of the Cubs’ first 100-win season since 1935 – only four years after the first year of rebuilding under Epstein resulted in a 101-loss season.

“It’s almost uncanny how everything that we talked about five years ago, four years ago, three years ago [came together],” Ricketts said. “With the exception of the fact we had an incredible second half last year that I don’t think anybody expected, things have kind of moved forward in a way that is just kind of as we planned. It’s

been pretty incredible.”

By the end of the week, the Cubs plan to announce five-year extensions as well for general manager Jed Hoyer and top player development executive Jason McLeod.

“The goal is to keep a really strong executive team together and keep building on the success we’ve started to achieve,” said Ricketts, who in spring training said Epstein deserved to be the highest-paid baseball operations executive in the sport.

Asked whether this contract met that expectation, Ricketts said he’s not sure.

“But I think it’s in the range,” he said.

“It’s competitive, and where it should be for someone who I think is the best baseball executive in the game.”

Epstein, 42, said the timing of the deal in the end came down to waiting until the Cubs had clinched all they could clinch during the regular season, and called the deal a reflection of mutual trust built over the past five years and a validation of the work done by “literally hundreds of people” in the organization.

“It took a bit of a leap of faith in [ownership] coming here, and they have lived up to everything they said they would do,” said Epstein, who is in the final year of a five-year, $18.5 million deal. “There’s no place I’d rather be.”

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com CHICAGO – The White Sox’s 2016 season took a strange twist and turn before it began, when the Drake LaRoche kid-in-the-clubhouse caper turned into an international story.

It stayed weird when Chris Sale cut up the team’s uniforms in July.

And now, four days before the season finale, it looks like it will stay Robin Ventura on a similar odd path to the very end when manager Robin Ventura declined to discuss his future – or even to say whether he wants to return next season – after a USA Today report, citing a high-ranking official, saying the Sox are welcoming him back even though his contract will be up as he closes in on a fourth consecutive losing season.

According to the report, the Sox

Frazier’s 40th HR leads Gonzalez, Sox over Rays CHICAGO (AP) – Todd Frazier hit his 40th home run, Miguel Gonzalez waited out a rain delay to throw 81/3 dominant innings and the White Sox edged the Tampa Bay Rays, 1-0, on a soggy Wednesday night.

Frazier set a career high and became the seventh Sox player to reach the homer milestone when he connected off knuckleballer Eddie Gamboa (0-2) with two out in the seventh. Frazier is hitting .391 (18 for 46) during a 12-game hitting streak. have decided to retain their manager and will sign Ventura to new contract if he wants to return. A major league source, however, said Ventura has not received a contract offer for next year.

Also, contract negotiations had not begun and Ventura wouldn’t say Wednesday if he wants to return.

“I’m not going to get into it, I’m just

going to wait till the end of the year,’’ Ventura said. “We’ll wait.”

News that Ventura, who took a 373432 record into the Sox’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday, would return if he wants to did not go over particularly well with fans, if social media is an indication. No Sox manager has survived four straight losing seasons, so the report came as a surprise, although chairman Jerry Reinsdorf’s respect for Ventura, loyalty and his understanding the reasons for the Sox’s record run deeper than the manager kept the possibility of a return open.

With no experience, Ventura was an unexpected hire when the Sox, looking for a calm and steady presence after eight years of Ozzie Guillen’s oft-turbulent (and successful) term, made him their choice after the 2011 season. Ventura grew to like the position and has often said so, and in August he said he wanted to come back, but also said the Sox had to want him back.

Pet of the Week JERRY 9 YEARS 11 MONTHS OLD MALE BLACK & WHITE DSH

Antiques, Produce, Arts & Crafts

October 14, 15, & 16 Friday, Saturday, Sunday 9 am to 5 pm

His guardian’s lifestyle changed and she felt that Jerry and his best friend Tom were being left alone too much. She relinquished both of them to us in October 2014. Tom was adopted in July 2015. They were adopted from us as kittens and lived their entire 7 years in the same home. Jerry is a very sweet, quiet boy that was very confused at what happened to his life when he first came to the shelter and then when Tom got adopted. He is a handsome tuxedo cat with wonderful green eyes and some black on his little pink nose. He is very mellow and seems to get along with the other cats in Cat Cove.

He is playful but will back off and share the toys or interactive play with the other cats. He is always ready for a cat treat and waits politely. He shares the treats just like the toys. He can act a little shy at first until he gets to know you better. There would be no adoption fee to an approved senior citizen. He is also available for our Fall Feline Adoption Special. Any cat that has been at the shelter for over a year has an adoption fee of $30 for the 30 days of September. Meet Jerry at Helping Paws located at 2500 Harding Lane, Woodstock, Illinois.

REVIEWS

Debra Monk (Edna) and ensemble member Ian Barford (Andrew) appear in Steppenwolf’s “Visiting Edna.”

Regina M. Belt-Daniels

Steppenwolf launches its 41st season with the world premiere of David Rabe’s 18th play, “Visiting Edna.” Beautifully wrought and well acted, the play depicts a mother’s relationship with her grown son as she fights off the ultimate invader – cancer. And it all takes place over a short visit between the two in an Iowa apartment.

A Tony Award-winning American playwright, Rabe (“Streamers,” “Hurlyburly,” “The Orphan”), has written a very clever and coherent piece I’m sure is Broadway bound. He’s made cancer a living, breathing onstage character and, as portrayed by Steppenwolf Ensemble member Tim Hopper, Cancer is manipulative, negative, dark and sometimes logical. Kudos to the very solid, sharp Hopper who stepped in for departing actor K. Todd Freeman (who cited personal reasons for his parting the show on the third day of previews).

But wait, Rabe also has made Television a living onstage character portrayed by the comedic and very expressive Sally Murphy. Television connects its show offerings to the situations occurring in attempts to provide comfort and escape. Both Cancer and Television explain their roles at the play’s onset, stepping into the light from the sidelines, and it works. Magnificently. So, not surprisingly, Rabe also provides an Angel of Death, depicted in a very satisfyingly unexpected way. Rabe’s own son, actor Michael Rabe, fulfills this task quite attractively. Hopper, Murphy and Rabe are a charismatic supporting trio for the duration of the play.

Actress Debra Monk (Tony Award winner for “The Redwood Curtain”), as 78-year-old Edna, is brilliant as the mother desperate to live. She is thoroughly relatable, truly honest and incredibly believable. She is so good you don’t even realize how good she is until she’s not onstage.

Actor Ian Barford, last seen in Steppenwolf’s “Mary Page Marlowe,” is Andrew, the dutiful son. Barford is everyone’s big brother and is as equally talented and captivating. There are many regrets that build a barrier between mother and son, and the Act 2 dialogue between them as a taxi awaits showcases an exquisite, genuine fear of the end and the need for mending.

Rabe has provided a universally human piece – one of the best I’ve encountered in a long time. So what goes awry?

The ending. Despite a sensitive and heart-wrenching monologue by Barford (who says in interviews he wants to weep but can’t because he wants the

“VISITING EDNA” WHEN: Through Nov. 6 WHERE: Steppenwolf Theatre, 1650 N. Halsted St. Chicago COST & INFO: Written by Tony Awardwinning playwright David Rabe. Edna has suffered a number of losses as she has aged, and now faces the stealthy advance of cancer embodied by an intimate figure that she could do without. Home for a visit, Edna’s son Andrew is trying to bridge the gulf between the childhood love they shared and the aggressively polite but baffling relationship they now live with.

Tickets: $20-89. Tickets and showtimes: 312-335-1650 or www.steppenwolf.org. audience to hear the words), the ending is somewhat perplexing. It’s almost as if Rabe suddenly realized he had to end the play and wasn’t quite sure how to do it. What you think is the ending, isn’t; what could have been a logical place to end becomes a prolonged scene of added explanation. It’s weakening in an otherwise strong venture.

Steppenwolf’s new artistic director

Anna D. Shapiro clearly is a master.

Under her guidance, Rabe’s play is a successful and intelligent display of human experience. With her ensemble of talented actors and Rabe’s writing, Shapiro has captured a world where love is strong and life can be less than ideal. Scenic designer David Zinn’s apartment set, which is open, functional and realistically homey – from the afghans and hooked rugs to the grandkids’ drawings hung on the refrigerator – is a world we all know, and, complimented

by Marcus Doshi’s lighting and Linda Roethke’s costume design, it’s all engagingly believable.

Granted, you may not leave the theater in a particularly buoyant mood, but I guarantee you will leave Steppenwolf appreciative of “Visiting Edna,” a play that is superbly acted with superior writing and direction.

‘Wonderful Town’ a refreshing place to visit REVIEWS

“WONDERFUL TOWN”

Paul Lockwood

WHEN: Through Oct. 23 WHERE: Goodman Theatre, 170 N. Dearborn St., Chicago COST & INFO: Mary Zimmerman directs a revival of Leonard Bernstein’s 1953 classic, a song-and-dance filled ode to New York City. Tickets start at $25. Tickets and showtimes: 312-4433800 or www.goodmantheatre.org/ wonderfultown.

What do you call a musical that makes you laugh, has excellent dancing and singing and features a star-making turn by a lead actress?

Allow me to coin a new term: “funderful.” Because the Goodman Theatre’s revival of a 63-year-old Tony Award-winning musical, “Wonderful Town,” is both fun and wonderfully performed.

“Wonderful Town,” based on Ruth McKenney’s autobiographical stories of the adventures she and her sister Eileen had when they moved from Ohio to New York City to pursue their dreams, has been produced only twice on Broadway, despite an impressive list of creators, such as Betty Comden and Adolph Green (lyrics) and the amazing Leonard Bernstein (music), and both critical and box-office success. The original 1953 production won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and it ran for 559 performances; a revival in 2003 ran almost as long (497 performances) and was nominated for five Tonys, winning the award for Best Choreography.

In the new Goodman production, which recently extended its run through Oct. 23, Tony Award-winning

director Mary Zimmerman has pulled out all the stops to create a fun show that’s clearly worth a trip downtown.

The first evidence of that comes when a skilled 17-piece orchestra under the musical direction of Doug Peck entertains the audience with a five-minute overture. When the curtain goes up, we’re treated to an imaginative, colorful, cartoon-like set with individual building outlines wheeled to and fro, skateboard-style cars, clouds floating across the sky, a slightly-bigger-thanmodel-sized train zipping by at the front of the stage and more.

Todd Rosenthal’s set design is clearly whimsical and creative. The most innovative use of the stage occurs when Ruth (Bri Sudia) and Eileen (Lauren Molina) first check out the basement unit Greenwich Village artist/landlord Appopolous (Matt DeCaro) is anxious to rent to

them: as they go through a trapdoor in the stage, the horrible cellar dwelling itself rises up to stage level. At the same time that I was in awe over its emergence, we all were laughing uproariously at a certain humansized insect scurrying away as the sisters come in. With that insect and other squalid conditions, the audience sympathizes with the sisters during their duet, “Ohio:” “Why, oh why, oh why, oh – Why did we ever leave Ohio!”

Ruth has come to New York to be a writer; Eileen wants to be an actress or singer. While Eileen has a beauty that guarantees a number of male admirers, Ruth has never had much success in the area of romance. When Sudia gets the chance to sing about “One Hundred Easy Ways” to lose a man (“Just throw your knowledge in his face – you’ll never get to second base”), it brings down the house.

As Ruth, Sudia gets the most laughs of any character in the show, but Ruth is also the one who most deserves a happy ending. Sudia is amazingly funny and endearing in this role; the fact a standing ovation occurred when she emerged for a closing bow is not coincidental. She is a true standout here. Also worthy of praise is Karl Hamilton as Bob Baker, an editor who tries to give career advice to Ruth but also finds himself romantically interested in one of the sisters. Hamilton is a strong singer and makes Bob so lik-

able we want him also to succeed in love and/or his career.

Some songs seem to go on a bit too long (“Conga” and “Pass the Football” both wore on my nerves a bit), but others are sweet (“It’s Love,” “A Little Bit in Love,” “A Quiet Girl”) or hilarious (the aforementioned “One Hundred Easy Ways” and “Conversation Piece” about five dinner guests trying to awkwardly communicate). But regardless of my feelings about any particular song, the quality of the singing and dancing by the 26-member cast was consistently excellent, thanks to the work of Peck and choreographer Alex Sanchez.

In summary, at a time when politics, violence and other news can really bring us down, Wonderful Town gives its audiences a truly “fun-derful” time.

Recent shows in which he’s acted include “Into the Woods,” “The Drowsy Chaperone” and “A Christmas Carol” (2014) at the Woodstock Opera House.

He’s also performed in dramatic readings at Le Petit Marché (Get LIT[erary]) and at the Raue Center for the Arts (Williams St. Repertory LAB Series).

A view of one of the rooms at Twisted Limits Escape Room in McHenry. Team members must work together and use problemsolving skills to achieve the room objective before the 60-minute time limit is up.

EXECUTIVE

DISORDER MCHENRY’S TWISTED LIMITS ESCAPE ROOM CAN’T BEST US. OR CAN IT?

W

e work in the field of communications. We’ve got this. That was kind of the thought – or at least my thought – as we prepared to enter an escape room at the newly created Twisted Limits in McHenry. It’s all about working together, communicating, they told us as they gathered the five of us in a small, dimly lit room. A closed door awaited us.

“Just so you know,” Twisted Limits co-owner Keith DeSmet said with a smile, “we’ve had 130-some groups through here.” His voice grew quieter. “Only nine have made it out,” he said in a whisper.

Pshaw.

See DISORDER, page 11

STORY BY JAMI KUNZER - jkunzer@shawmedia.com n PHOTOS BY SARAH NADER - snader@shawmedia.com

in the room, our team had only 60 minutes to unravel Castle’s THE PARAMETERS: Once safeguards, aided via computer by an expert hacker known as Jackknife.

Continued from page 10

“THIS ONE WAS A REAL CHALLENGE, BUT WE CAME PRETTY CLOSE. TEN MORE MINUTES, AND WE WOULD HAVE HAD IT.” – Nicole Franz, Web Editor

Of course, I had no concept of what exactly an escape room was and how I’d get out, but I had the ultimate faith in my coworkers here at the Northwest Herald. I glanced around the room. They looked, uh, a bit amused, or is that confusion?

“It’s definitely a brains over brawn activity,” DeSmet was saying. “Nothing needs to be ripped off a wall. If you play by the rules, you’re going to have a great time.”

“We see all sorts of crazy stuff in there,” the other Twisted Limits co-owner, Joe Panek, was adding. Something about clues everywhere, puzzles ...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was focused on the door. Let’s do this.

A video prepped us. A spiky-haired, tattooed female hacker named Jackknife told us she’d be helping us break, enter and search the “Executive Disorder Room.” Our mission, she explained, was to infiltrate the private office of Gov. Curt Castle and secure evidence that confirms his ties to a criminal conspiracy. We’d have an hour to outwit Castle’s safeguards. The clock is ticking toward failure or victory …

Uh, yeah, we failed.

Another hour or 10 and we would have had it. I just know it.

Completely designed, created and built by DeSmet and Panek – who transformed an office space at 3735 W. Elm St. in downtown McHenry into two escape rooms with plans to eventually offer seven rooms and a corporate lounge – Twisted Limits is believed to offer the only escape rooms in this area.

Called “Behind the Curtain,” Twisted Limits’ second room challenges visitors-turned-investigators to work a dead-end case. An unexpected report of a disturbance leads them to the abandoned Reverie Theater.

“The Reverie isn’t quite as abandoned as its decrepit exterior would have you believe …” And so the adventure begins.

The earliest escape rooms – basically adventure games in which players are locked in a room and have to use elements of the room to solve a series of puzzles to either figure out a mystery, find hidden objects or escape within a set time limit – began overseas in about 2006.

“They’re called escape rooms, but they’re not always about escaping,” Panek said.

The rooms didn’t really find their place in the United States until about 2013.

Just a year ago, there only were a few in Illinois. Now the state has more than 20, with several in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, Panek said.

DeSmet first approached Panek with the idea for a room a few years back.

“It was right up our alley,” said Panek, who’d worked with DeSmet on previous endeavors, including a haunted trail in 2009 in McHenry.

The two eventually visited escape rooms in Wisconsin and elsewhere. They didn’t start building their own until last summer. Unlike others, they said, they offer a more professional atmosphere with a lobby, free snacks and drinks for visitors and plans for the lounge, or party room, to include a pool table and other perks for companies and large groups to hang out.

See TWISTED LIMITS, page 12

“IT WAS DISAPPOINTING TO FAIL THE ROOM, BUT THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS A RUSH AND I IMMEDIATELY STARTED PLANNING MY NEXT RUN AT IT.” Valerie Katzenstein Features Editor

GET TWISTED Twisted Limits is at 3735 W. Elm St., McHenry.

The rooms cost $30 a person to take on for groups of three to eight and are recommended for ages 10 and older.

The two rooms currently operating are

Executive Disorder and Behind the Curtain, each with its own story, setting and characters. A third room is expected to open in October.

“WEAR CLOTHES YOU CAN MOVE IN, DON’T RUSH AND BE THOROUGH. WE OVERLOOKED A FEW KEY CLUES THAT WOULD HAVE MADE OUR MISSION RUN When things go dark, web SMOOTHER.”

• TWISTED LIMITS

Continued from page 11 Although Twisted Limits began offering its two escape rooms to the public in late March, a grand opening is planned, possibly for October, when a third room is expected to be finished.

Set in a classy high-rise condo on New Year’s Eve, the third room is more about actually escaping than the others, Panek said. “Things take a little bit of a turn, and you’re kind of in a race for your life,” he said.

“Without saying too much, it’s more of a thrill.”

The rooms cost $30 a person to take on and are recommended for ages 10 and older, although 7-yearolds have come to Twisted Limits and enjoyed it, the owners said.

“We’ll help them along the way, but we still have that level of entertainment and adrenaline running,” DeSmet said.

Groups with at least three people and no more than eight are recommended.

“It’s not like a law or anything,” Paneck said of the size. “We capped it at eight people a time in a room, just for the overall experience and having everybody being able to enjoy it.”

Those who want to try it out are asked to book a room at www.twistedlimits.com or by calling 815-

editor Franz finds a flashlight to help look for clues.

331-8857. Walk-ins occasionally are welcome, with strangers paired up if need be, and groups smaller than three and larger than eight have done it.

“It’s happened,” Panek said. “Somebody might walk in, and they’re curious. We’ve had couples come in insistent on doing it [alone] as a couple, and we can adapt.”

Speaking from experience, once you’ve done it – and failed (likely if you’ve succeeded, too, although I don’t know what that feels like) – you’re ready to adapt yourself into more of an escape room expert.

Whatever that is. I guess what I’m trying to say is you want to do it again.

– Nicole Franz, Web Editor, with advice for first-time players

Man, we should have found that clue, figured out that lock, opened that secret door ...

As Panek puts it, “You can’t really duplicate that adrenaline rush when you get a lock open or solve something.

“I think people like it because it’s something different,” he said. “Everybody’s used to the same ol’ things. ‘Let’s go bowling or to a movie.’ But I think it’s the interaction, the social aspect of it, of being able to go out with friends or family. It’s a bonding experience that can happen.”

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s nice. But it’d also be nice to figure the dang thing out next time.

A RIVETING ‘DEEPWATER HORIZON’

MORE ONLINE The new movie “American Honey” also is scheduled for limited release Friday. Find more reviews online at NWHerald.com.

By LINDSEY BAHR The Associated Press

We all know how “Deepwater Horizon” ends. When the BP oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, 11 people died and millions of gallons of oil spewed into the waters and up against the Gulf shores in the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history.

The story of the aftermath, even 6 years later, still is being written. The how-did-it-happen is another thing, and the point of director Peter Berg’s intensely thrilling indictment of the greed and gross negligence that contributed to the horrific outcome.

Like the best true stories translated to film, this well-known ending works for Berg, not against him. He and writers Matthew Sand and Matthew Michael Carnahan know, as Ron Howard did with “Apollo 13” and James Cameron knew with “Titanic,” that it’s not about whether they live or they die or if the ship goes down or all are saved. It’s about the process and those decisions, big or small, corrupt or well-intentioned, that made this disaster inevitable.

Based on a New York Times article, “Deepwater Horizon’s Final Hours,” the film is about the crew – the men and women aboard just doing their jobs. Mark Wahlberg anchors as Mike Williams, a no-nonsense engineer, who leaves his wife (Kate Hudson) and precocious daughter at home for his dangerous job on the rig. An early scene with a school science project spells out exactly what he and his co-workers do

“DEEPWATER HORIZON” STARRING: Mark Wahlberg, Kurt Russell, Douglas M. Griffin PLOT: A story set on the offshore drilling rig Deepwater Horizon, which exploded during April 2010 and created the worst oil spill in U.S. history.

RATED: PG-13 for prolonged intense disaster sequences and related disturbing images, and brief strong language RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 47 minutes and foreshadows what will go wrong. It’s the kind of set up that on paper likely seems too cutesy, but here, it not only works, it actually builds tension rather effectively.

“Deepwater Horizon” rises above expectations of what a movie like this is capable of at every turn – restrained where you think it might go too big or sentimental, and genuinely affecting when you think you’re gearing up for an eye-roll. Wahlberg may be an easy punchline, but he’s an underrated everyman and at his subdued best here.

Even Hudson, in the generally thankless concerned-wife role, makes it seem worthwhile.

It’s a welcome step up for Berg, too, whose patriotic bombast and cliché romanticism overwhelmed “Lone Survivor.” Here, you really internalize the plight and rage of the workers, even though most people in the audience aren’t likely to ever set a foot on an oil rig.

When Kurt Russell’s crew leader Jimmy Harrell gets angry at the corporate brass for having neglected to perform some critical safety tests, you’re angry right along with him. The execs like Don Vidrine (a perfectly slimy John Malkovich) see only that they’re behind schedule and over budget and are cutting corners with abandon even as the rig seems to be faltering underneath them.

Jimmy and Mike eventually convince them to run a few tests – a white knuckle endeavor for everyone involved and, well, you can torture a statistic until it talks and it seems it might be the same for a pressure test.

So they proceed, and, of course, things go spectacularly wrong.

It is a spectacle indeed – a must-see horror of fire and oil as this unbelievably massive structure explodes and crumbles around all the people we’ve gotten to know, like Gina Rodriguez’s Andrea Fleytas, Dylan O’Brien’s Caleb Holloway and Ethan Suplee’s Jason Anderson. It’s the rare film that can make you care about, and be able to tell the difference between, more than a dozen characters.

I would have liked to have seen more of the rescue efforts from the Navy, more of the aftermath, but Berg keeps things focused, and the movie likely is better off for it. “Deepwater Horizon” achieves that impossible balance of being a tribute to the workers who both perished and survived that day and a searing critique of the rotten system that put them there in the first place.

After a steady stream this year of Batman, Superman, Captain America, X-Men and even Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, it’s time now for a group of kids who float, are invisible, who spark fire, manipulate plants, control bees and give life to inanimate objects. Not really X-Men, exactly. Call them X-Tweens.

They’re the unlikely young heroes and heroines of “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children,” the Tim Burton-directed 3-D film loosely based on the novel of the same name by Ransom Riggs.

Sweet, with some mind-blowing visual effects, it’s the perfect film for your young disaffected mutant friends.

Asa Butterfield (Martin Scorsese’s “Hugo”) plays a young adult

“MISS PEREGRINE’S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN” STARRING: Eva Green, Asa Butterfield, Samuel L. Jackson PLOT: When Jacob discovers clues to a mystery that spans different worlds and times, he finds Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. But the mystery and danger deepen as he gets to know the residents and learns about their special powers.

RATED: PG-13 for intense sequences of fantasy action/violence and peril TIME: 2 hours, 7 minutes who stumbles upon a secret refuge for supernaturally gifted youngsters hiding in a time loop in 1943.

Our hero befriends the mysterious schoolmarm Miss Peregrine (a delicious Eva Green, channeling a sexy Mary Poppins by way of Helena Bonham Carter) and learns the children are in danger from evergrowing malevolent forces.

Burton is a natural choice to direct: The material already has

that gloomy, Victorian vibe, a stylized dreamlike quality and a sort of Goth-punk look, which is catnip to the director of “Edward Scissorhands.” He also famously adores misfits; here, the screen is filled with them.

No surprise, the job of turning the book into a film was handed to Jane Goldman, who is familiar both with mutants and the 1940s, having been the screenwriter for “X-Men: First Class.” A somewhat ponderous first half leads to a hard-charging second filled with ingenious fightscenes, glorious ocean liners and sublime underwater moments.

The film should come with a Harry Potter-like warning for those allergic to new whimsical vocabulary terms like “ymbrines,” “Hollows” and “hollowgasts.” But go with it. Your head will be in pain soon enough trying to make sense of the increasingly elaborate rules of time-travel and body shifting.

The peculiar children of the film’s title certainly are unique, but you can find plenty of other films in the DNA of “Miss Peregrine’s Home

for Peculiar Children,” particularly skeleton soldiers from “Jason and the Argonauts,” the X-Men franchise for making freaks lovable, “Groundhog Day” and even the underappreciated Hayden Christensen film “Jumper,” which also has time shifting at its core and the same sort of evil force in Samuel L. Jackson.

Hyper-stylized films like Burton’s usually create stiff performances, but Terence Stamp is grounded as a knowing grandfather and Chris O’Dowd is perfectly oafish as a clueless dad. Other cameos are by Judi Dench, Allison Janney and Rupert Everett (blink and you miss them).

Ella Purnell is lovely and understated as a love interest; she’s buoyant, in more ways than one.

So stretch your definition of heroes to include, say, a cute little girl with razor-sharp teeth on the back of her head. “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” has all the making of a super franchise – the call of destiny, the making of heroes and the embrace of kinship. Plus, of course, coming to terms with your inner freak.

In ‘Denial,’ a Holocaust denier is brought to justice

By JAKE COYLE The Associated Press Mick Jackson’s “Denial� brings all the decorous polish of a British courtroom drama to the pungent libel case of a Holocaust denier.

Based on Deborah Lipstadt’s book “History on Trial: My Day in Court With a Holocaust Denier,� the film depicts when the unapologetically antiSemitic historian David Irving brought a libel suit against Lipstadt for calling him a Holocaust denier in one of her books.

Because of the nature of libel cases in the United Kingdom (where Irving filed the suit), the burden of proof is on the defender, not the plaintiff. Hovering constantly throughout the trial – which ran eight weeks – is the question: Is it worthwhile to expend so much energy on such a loathsome liar?

It’s a salient question with obvious relevance to a time where willful disregard for the truth increasingly runs rampant in national politics and social media streams, alike. Should trolls be taken to task or ignored?

Rachel Weisz portrays writer and historian Deborah E. Lipstadt in a scene from “Denial.�

“DENIAL�

STARRING: Rachel Weisz, Tom Wilkinson, Timothy Spall PLOT: Acclaimed writer and historian Deborah E. Lipstadt must battle for historical truth to prove the Holocaust actually occurred when David Irving, a renowned denier, sues her for libel.

RATED: PG-13 for thematic material and brief strong language RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 50 minutes “Denial� argues forcefully and convincingly for the vital necessity of confronting the perpetuation of dangerous falsehoods. It rises impressively to the wise and perhaps unpopular judgment that “not all opinions are equal.� This is an honorable cause, if not a particularly dramatic movie.

Just as the legal team behind Lipstadt’s case brought a full array of firepower, so has Jackson in his film.

The cast is littered with an impervious collection of British talent, in front of and behind the camera.

Rachel Weisz stars as the Queensborn Lipstadt. Her star-studded attorneys are barrister Richard Rampton (played by Tom Wilkinson) and solicitor Anthony Julius (Andrew Scott), famed for securing Princess Diana’s divorce.

Irving is played with snarling perfection

by Timothy Spall. And the script is by playwright David Hare (“The Reader,� “The Hours�).

Irving sets things in motion when he turns up a speaking engagement of Lipstadt’s to heckle her from the audience.

When he brings the lawsuit against her publisher, Penguin Books, the assembled legal team begins hashing out a strategy of how to argue history in a courtroom, how to prove the Holocaust.

What’s partly on trial, though, is the notoriously byzantine British court system. “Dickensian not Kafkaesque� is

Li Tim mited eO nly

what Lipstadt ’s hoping for in her passage through its elaborate procedures.

Often, Lipstadt’s experience is a frustrating one as she – more emotional than her lawyers – clashes with the stringently logical Rampton. They together visit Auschwitz where he reacts bitterly to the lack of an extensive forensics record. Despite Lipstadt’s protests, the attorneys want neither her nor Holocaust survivors to take the stand to subject themselves to Irving’s questions.

(Irving represented himself in the trial.)

These strategic debates aren’t much to hang a movie on, but the case doesn’t supply much else in terms of suspense. “Denial� is carried less by the normal theatrics of courtroom dramas than a staunch sense of duty to protect the truth. It’s an argument for the patient, methodical dismantling of fools.

5 ways to prepare your outdoor living space for fall (BPT) - While everyone eagerly waits for spring each year and wishes summer could last a month or two longer, when it comes down to it, fall just might be America’s favorite season.

It’s warm but not hot, the air has that clean crispness that’s hard to describe and perhaps the biggest draw, pumpkin-flavored everything. And let’s not forget about all those bright, beautiful leaf colors that come with the change in weather. So why start shutting down your outdoor living space with the first sign of fall?

“Oh my gosh every single day, we’re on the deck - whether it’s summer, spring, fall, winter or whatever,” says Justin. “A deck isn’t just for three months of the year; a deck is what you want it to be. And if you love the great outdoors as much as we do, you can make it work.”

Here, then, are Colin and Justin’s top five design solutions to help extend your outdoor living well into the autumn months: Start with the right deck

Packing it in early is something dynamic design duo, Colin and Justin, would never consider. The home improvement stars of “Cabin Pressure” and “Game of Homes” make the most of their beautiful Western Red Cedar deck all year around.

Just because you procrastinated, doesn’t mean you need to wait until next spring to build or start designing a show-stopping deck. Whatever your plans, though, one thing almost everyone agrees upon is that there’s nothing quite like the rich, textural

warmth of a Western Red Cedar deck to create a beautiful all-season outdoor living space. Low maintenance, surprisingly affordable and easy to

work with, Real Cedar can’t be beat.

“And with decks, it’s worth investing in a really good product to start with like Western Red Cedar, which will last and last and last. Honestly, it just gets better with age, improving as the years pass, and it really is a showstopper.”

Screen it in Unless you’ve got a screened-in porch, you may still have to shield your outdoor living space from the occasional nippy breeze. For Colin and Justin, this is easily rectified with movable wicker screens that they store inside during the summer months.

“They’ve got a lovely weighty bottom to them,” says Justin. “The wind

passes right through them and that’s a good tip for anyone using freestanding screens on the outside. If they’re too solid, the wind can catch them.

But if they’re fretwork or open panels or cutout work, they’re good.”

can direct inward at either end of our terrace and they really makes a big difference.”

Bundle up with textiles

Paradoxically, as the days grow shorter, you’ll wish they would last longer.

There’s no more perfect way to cap off a perfect fall day than by sitting around a fire with friends and family.

Sometimes all it takes to warm up your outdoor living space is some simple, yet chic, soft furnishings and yes, maybe even a change in wardrobe. (But don’t worry - you don’t have to say good-bye to your beloved flips flops, just “until we meet again next spring.”)

“In the autumn, we have two propane operated fire bowls that sit smack dab in the center of our Western Red Cedar deck,” says Colin. Their gas-powered fire is safely contained in a stone bowl and leaves no ashes or embers.

“And those fire bowls help us stretch out our summer a little bit. We also have two big patio heaters, which we

“We take out lots of really lovely textural throw pillows and rich woolen blankets - think Pendleton and Hudson’s Bay striped blankets - and we cozy up,” says Justin, adding, “And don’t forget your winter woollies.

Install a BBQ cover If you’re like Colin & Justin, you enjoy the thrill of the grill year round.

This is where an easy-to-build, Real Cedar BBQ Cover really earns its keep. Made from nature’s most resilient building material, this sturdy and beautiful structure is going to last you a very long time. Just think of all the cookout possibilities!

“We BBQ all the time,” says Colin, “So we got a cover. That way we don’t have to worry about weather.”

TRACTOR/ COMBINE/ HEADS: 1993 Case IH 7130 Tractor 2wd, Cab/Air, 3pt, Pto,

Oliver Cromwell, an English military and political leader in the 17th century, said, “He who stops being better stops being good.”

At the bridge table, if you spot what looks like a good line of declarer-play or defense, pause to see if there is something better.

How is that relevant in today’s deal? South is in four hearts. West leads the diamond two. How should East defend?

An important rule on defense is that a lowest-card lead in an unbid side suit shows either at least one honor in that suit or a singleton. Here, since East can see all of the diamond honors between the dummy and his hand, he knows his partner has started with a singleton.

So many a defender would win with the diamond ace and give partner a diamond ruff. But what would happen after that? Suppose West shifts to a spade. South wins on the board, draws trumps, and runs the diamonds to discard one of his clubs to make the contract. He takes three spades, four hearts and three diamonds.

East should wonder from where two more defensive tricks might come. If West has the spade king or heart king, that won’t help, because declarer’s finesse will be winning.

East should hope his partner has the club ace.

After taking trick one, East must shift to the club queen.

Presumably South will cover with his king, so West takes the trick and returns a club. Then East gives his partner a diamond ruff to defeat the contract. But if South strangely ducks the club queen, East gives his partner the ruff, and West cashes the club ace for down one.
