Campaign’s hidden messages are troublesome My two oldest daughters have become interested in the presidential race, and so the whole family sat down to watch Sunday’s debate on TV. I’m glad to see them taking an interest in current events. But this debate – this campaign – of late has been about as family-friendly as an episode of HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” In the run-up to the debate at Washington University in St. Louis, CBS News talked about Donald Trump’s vulgar remarks about women, transitioning into talking about the pre-debate news conference Trump held with women who claim they are victims of sexual assault by former President Bill Clinton. Just great. By the second question, Trump naturally was confronted about those comments he made about women in 2005, in specific terms, by debate moderator Anderson Cooper. “You bragged that you sexually assaulted women,” Cooper said to Trump. Trump denied that, apologized, then shifted to talking about ISIS chopping off people’s heads and drowning them in cages, later promising to “knock the [heck] out of ISIS.” There were points at which I felt the need to distract the children from what was being said on screen. I never thought I’d have to do that during a town hall-style presidential debate between the two leading candidates to lead the free world. It’s pathetic, really. I will give the candidates some points for at times trying to discuss policy. But there’s been so much talk about sexual assault, sexual abuse, rape allegations … sometimes it feels like a criminal trial. As you might imagine, my girls want us to

elect the first-ever “girl” president. To them, this race is black-and-white: Hillary is good, and Trump is bad. I hope that seeing a woman competing in (and likely winning) the race for president will inspire my daughters – and girls everywhere – to chase even their loftiest dreams. But I worry that they’ll get other messages from this campaign, too. Like that someone can rape you and still become president of the United States. Or that a man can say vile and disrespectful things about women and still expect people to vote for him to be president. Or that even if your husband is a philanderer, the way to get ahead in life is to stick with him. Or maybe, if you compete with a man for a position of power, it’s OK for him to interrupt, bully and threaten you. (Although I do think Hillary has set a good example of how to deal with this nonsense.) As a parent, I know it’s my job to counteract those messages if they get through. The shame of it is that they’re coming from a presidential race that I imagine has captured the interest of girls around the country.

Consulting firm identifies potential uses for Woodstock landmark By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Possibilities for the Old Courthouse and Sheriff’s House on the Woodstock Square are endless, but funding an overhaul will prove challenging. The city received a grant in April to hire consulting firm Artspace to complete a use study on the historic buildings on Johnson Street. The former McHenry County Courthouse and Sheriff’s House and Jail were built in the 1800s. Some suggested uses born from the study include turning the jailhouse into a historical museum and making room for micro-retail art studios and a co-working space in the courthouse. Some businesses currently occupy the space, including the Public House of Wood-

stock restaurant and the Old Courthouse Arts Center, but the properties need extensive work. Still, the buildings are an asset, said City Planner Nancy Baker, who also is staff liaison for the Old Courthouse and Sheriff’s House Advisory Commission. “It’s an 1857 landmark at the highest point on the Square,” she said. “It really dominates the landscape. It’s one of the buildings downtown that makes it really unique.” She added that the study should help narrow the focus on its future potential. “I think certain aspects of it will help focus everybody,” she said. “Some of the basic uses and the need to look at a combination of uses makes sense. But no one has approached us

Candidates look to succeed Tryon in the 66th Illinois House District By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com Republican candidate Allen Skillicorn and Democratic candidate Nancy Zettler are running to succeed Rep. Michael Tryon as representative for the 66th Illinois House District. Tryon’s announcement that he would step down after 12 years representing the district set up one of only two contested House races among the five districts that include McHenry County. The district, which shifted significantly after a 2012 redistricting, includes parts of southeastern McHenry and northern Kane counties, including parts of Crystal Lake, Lakewood, Lake in the Hills, Huntley and Algonquin. Both candidates’ questionnaires submitted to the Northwest Herald were replete with promises to stand up to powerful House Speaker Michael Madigan. Skillicorn, an East Dundee village trustee, said he plans to go to Springfield to reform government, reduce taxes and improve the state’s business climate, and help end an era of what he calls one-party rule that has contributed to the state’s woes. Skillicorn, who won a contentious four-way March primary, points to his successful effort in 2012 to freeze his village’s property tax levy, which has remained frozen since. “The current leaders were put in place to work for us, but what we find is that they work for themselves. I’m going to Springfield to work with reform-minded Democrats and Republicans to serve our community and protect our families,” Skillicorn said. Zettler, a lawyer from Algonquin, said she has a bipartisan record of working on issues that affect the district’s taxpayers. One of her top priorities is ending corporate welfare – she pointed out her successful fight against the state effort to give property tax money otherwise earmarked for schools to Sears Holdings Corp. to keep it from moving out of the state. Zettler was co-chairwoman of the pro-Community Unit School District 300 group Advance 300, which in 2006 helped successfully pass two property tax referendums. “This is a grass-roots campaign being funded by working men and women of this district. I am independent of my party leadership – I am not receiving financial support from the Democratic Party, and I will be able to be an independent in Springfield,” Zettler said. Both candidates oppose raising the state income tax to help solve its budget woes, although Zettler limited her opposi-

“The current leaders were put in place to work for us, but what we find is that they work for themselves. I’m going to Springfield to work with reform-minded Democrats and Republicans to serve our community and protect our families.”

When it comes to lowering state spending, Zettler focused primarily on ending corporate welfare and tax subsidies for large businesses, which she said costs the state hundreds of millions of dollars a year for little benefit. Skillicorn said the state must adopt a line-by-line, zero-based review of annual budgets and end the practice of Madigan submitting the budget on the final day of session with little time to review it. He also said the state should look into scrubbing the Medicaid rolls to remove ineligible people who are improperly getting benefits. One of the main roadblocks to fixing the budget is the fact that almost one dollar in four in the state general fund goes to pay pensions and benefits for retired state government employees. An attempted fix that involved lessening benefits that already have been accrued was ruled unconstitutional by the Illinois Supreme Court. At $111 billion and climbing, the unfunded liability for the five state-run pension systems is the worst in the nation and has contributed significantly to the state’s worst-in-the-nation credit rating. More than 90 percent of the additional revenue that came from a four-year, 67 percent increase in the individual income tax rate meant to stabilize the state budget was swallowed by pension obligations. Skillicorn supports transitioning from pensions to a defined contribution system for new state employees. “For retirees and current employees, we must honor what they’ve earned, but moving forward, there’s no reason we can’t reform those benefits. For new personnel, these benefits should be comparable to what the rest of us see in the private

Zettler said the state can do several things, including chaining the funding ramp to more or less refinance the debt, find a “dedicated and guaranteed” revenue stream to pay for pensions, and explore allowing individuals in the system to buy out of their plan. She also said laws should be passed to prevent school districts from spiking administrator pay to fatten their final pensions. Skillicorn said he endorses the “Turnaround Agenda” of Gov. Bruce Rauner, and will fight to support it. While Zettler said she supports certain components of it, she cannot endorse it as a whole. “The vast majority of Gov. Rauner’s ‘Turnaround Agenda’ relies on attacking unions and working people. And I am simply not willing to support a race to the bottom where we push to lower wages for the middle class,” Zettler said. Both Zettler and Skillicorn support redistricting reform – a second effort to get a constitutional amendment on the ballot was thrown out by the state Supreme Court – as well as term limits. A statewide property tax freeze is part of the Turnaround Agenda that Skillicorn supports, and although Zettler did not expressly support a freeze, she said she strongly supports “addressing the obscenely high property taxes we have in the state and in this district.” Illinois has the highest property tax burden of any state in the U.S., and McHenry County is ranked by the Washington, D.C.-based Tax Foundation as having the 29th highest burden by county.

Another poll reveals half of state residents want to leave Illinois

Taxes, weather and government lead reasons By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com About half of Illinois residents would rather move out of the state than stay, with one in five saying they see themselves moving in the coming year, according to a new poll. The poll of 1,000 Illinois voters conducted by the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale concluded that 47 percent would like to move, and 51 percent would prefer to remain, with 2 percent undecided. Twenty percent of those polled said it was likely they would leave Illinois in 2017. Twenty-seven percent cited taxes as the primary reason they would like to leave, 16 percent the weather, 15 percent the government and 13 percent job and education opportunities. Only 10 percent of those polled believe that the state is on the right track – 84 percent believe the state is headed in the wrong direction. “There are lots of reasons why people want to leave. Not much can be done about the weather, but policymakers can do something about perceptions about the quality of services, tax competitiveness, tax fairness and educational and job opportunities,” institute

Director David Yepsen said. “People often don’t feel they get good value for their tax dollars, and with frequent stories of public corruption or the large numbers of governmental units, it’s no wonder they feel that way.” Results of the poll released Monday match those of previous polls by other firms, as well as both statewide and local data that show Illinois losing people to other states. A Gallup poll released in 2014 concluded that 50 percent of Illinois residents would leave if they could – the state ranked first of all 50 for people who want out – and about 20 percent said they were likely to move in the coming year. One resident in four called Illinois the worst state in which to live. Both polls were conducted before the particularly bad “polar vortex” winter. And residents are in fact voting with their feet. From government data to statistics shared by moving truck rental companies, Illinois has been at or near the top in recent years for people moving elsewhere. This year, for the first time, the annual loss of Illinois residents to outmigration reached six figures, according to U.S. Census data – about 105,200 more people left Illinois than arrived between July 2014 and July 2015. Illinois led all

Paul Simon Public Policy Institute director 50 states in population loss during that time period. A 2015 analysis by the Center for Governmental Studies at Northern Illinois University cast some doubts on weather being a primary motivator – it found that most people leaving Illinois are settling in its bordering states. McHenry County has lost population since the 2010 U.S. Census, according to annual estimates, a far cry from the boom years of the previous two decades. Should the trend continue or hold steady, it will be the first time the county lost overall population in a decennial census.

Why should voters from your district elect you to the McHenry County Board? I am a lifelong resident of McHenry County who understands where we have come from and where we can go in the future if we have a County Board that puts McHenry County first by following through with long-term solutions to promote sustainable and measured development, and focuses on the task at hand rather than partisan politics.

Voters should elect me because I’m going to work to create good jobs and good roads while protecting seniors and working families. The County Board has the wrong priorities. They focus on themselves. They’ve been taking full-time benefits for part-time work and violating the Open Meetings Act. The County Board clearly needs a watchdog, and I’ll be that watchdog.

In District 4, all four candidates are challengers, so there are no incumbents with voting records to review. Therefore, voters must determine which candidates’ background and years of experience exhibit a strong correlation with the characteristics they would like to see their County Board display. My military career spanned 24 years where I demonstrated strong integrity, service before self and excellence in all we do … those are the core values of the United States Air Force. That means voters can elect someone who “says what they mean, and means what they say.”…There are no campaign promises that disappear on Nov. 9 with my candidacy. In the county, I have found a home and a community that is warm and welcoming that makes me want to give back to the greater good, and I will do that by working as a strong advocate for the concerns of our overtaxed residents who love McHenry County.

Many voters feel like they are overtaxed. What will you do to help keep county government spending down? Be specific. Budget control. From my experience of running a fiscally sound organization, I suggest the following ways to reduce government spending: reduce the board size; eliminate the health insurance for McHenry County Board members; streamline departments, avoiding duplication of services; establish term limits to keep government officials from continually having to fundraise, creating potential conflicts of interest; consolidation of government entities; review alternative sources of revenue; and work toward commercial and industrial growth. Another way to control government spending is to raise revenue that supplies tax relief, not tax burden, through commercial and industrial growth with respect for our rural heritage. McHenry County government must look to itself to develop plans that attract job-producing companies to this county. To attract this growth, we need infrastructure improvements such as the I-90/Route 23 interchange and working with Lake County for the 53 extension, as well as development of a team attitude among leaders of McHenry County taxing entities to provide a unified voice that supports and adheres to tax reduction. This will be attractive to a relocating job-producing industry and enhance McHenry County’s ability to attract and retain young professionals to the area through a countywide, young, professional group.

Reduce the size of the County Board to make it more cost-effective and more efficient. Work to reduce redundancies in the administration of county government without impacting services. Develop the county in a way that will redress the growing imbalance between young families and our aging population. Prioritize roads and infrastructure to support economic growth with new revenue to reduce the burden upon homeowners.

I have a plan to cut the size of the County Board by six members, which would save $240,000 a year without hurting vital services the public needs. I will not take health insurance because part-time public servants shouldn’t get full-time benefits. I will vote to eliminate health insurance benefits for all County Board members. I won’t take mileage reimbursements for County Board meetings, and I will vote to eliminate this perk. I will work to combine county and township road systems.

I have attended many municipal and school board meetings within District 4 and publicly asked, challenged, pleaded with the boards to find a way to reduce their budgets and levies this year. The quote has been “We need to focus on REDUCING SPENDING THIS YEAR and REDUCE NEXT YEAR’S TAX LEVY.” 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. We must find ways to cooperate, collaborate and consolidate to achieve meaningful taxpayer savings, and I will continue to be an advocate for that goal, win or lose on Nov. 8.

I will bring a strong business know-how to McHenry County Board. I have had the privilege of leading an organization for 12 years with the experience of managing and living within a budget even during difficult times. Businesses get this. Just because an organization needs increased revenue, funding cannot arbitrarily be passed on to our customers, or guess what – soon, no customers. It is my belief that all taxing entities in McHenry County need to adapt to changing times. The simple truth of the matter is that the residents and businesses in McHenry County are taxed out. The McHenry County Board, as the major influencer in 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.

with a specific use and a whole lot of money. There have been good ideas, but they aren’t funded.” Woodstock acquired the properties in 2011 and has so far spent almost $2 million on stabilizing the old buildings, which had been deteriorating. Some city officials want to avoid dumping more money toward the buildings. “Personally, the way I have felt is that the city should get rid of it as quickly as possible,” council member Joseph Starzynski said. “It seems our responsibility would be to reach a point where it is no longer deteriorating. A lot of money has been spent on stabilization. … But to me, the end goal isn’t ownership.” The study made several recommendations and outlined key objectives, such as maintaining city ownership but finding a nonprofit entity to operate the complex. McHenry County also should become more invested in the space, the report said. Suggested tenants – in addition to

current tenants – included art studios and a co-working space, which would offer amenities such as meeting spaces, storage lockers, office equipment and work stations for entrepreneurs. Full renovation of the complex could cost upward of $5 million, plus the additional expenses that could go along with expanding the interior to meet different needs, according to city documents. “These are great ideas,” Starzynski said. “I want someone else to take responsibility of it. I think the city and the taxpayers have spent plenty of money.” Council member Mike Turner said that while he found the analysis insightful and interesting, the recommendations likely would need close examination and more work. “We have to look at multiple input and ideas. It’s not an easy building, but it is incredibly important to the city and the Square,” he said. “We are truly searching for something that is impactful and long-term.” The full report can be seen on the city website. Woodstock City Council members will discuss the study at a future meeting, although it has not yet been put on an agenda.

The City of Woodstock has high hopes for the Old Courthouse and sheriff’s jail on the Square. Results of a $12,000 study are in and point to recommendations for the buildings. H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

Local nonprofit Joe’s Wish has canceled its Wreaths Across America fundraiser this year because of a lack of funding. “We needed to reach a goal of 1,000 wreaths and fell way short of last year’s 750 wreaths sponsored,” Joe’s Wish founder Marianne Ruiz said. “It would have been very sad to only be able to honor some of our veterans. So, with heavy hearts, we felt it best to cancel the entire event this year.” All checks received will be returned, and all cash donations will be sent to the national Wreaths Across America office, Ruiz said. – Northwest Herald

Continued from page A6 The Simon poll also found that 57 percent of people younger than 35 want to leave, while 58 percent of people between 35 and 50 want to leave. Only 29 percent of adults 66 or older want to leave. “Policymakers argue over whether people are leaving or not. The most troubling finding in this poll is that so many younger people are thinking about it. That’s the state’s future,” Yepsen said. Again, this finding mirrors a similar

conclusion reached locally. An economic development strategy for McHenry, Boone and Winnebago counties released earlier this year revealed the area lost almost 8 percent of its 25- to 44-year-old residents between 2010 and 2014, or about 12 times what the Chicago region lost in the same demographic. That age bracket is vital to planners because it’s the one that starts families, jobs and businesses. Studies put Illinois in either first or second place when it comes to its property tax burden, and its almost 7,000 units of local government are far more than any other state.

“Having that relationship is vital to the organization,” Evans said. “It definitely allows us to have quality competitions and to do all of the things that we do for people with intellectual disabilities.” Huntley police also participate in the Dunkin’ Donuts-sponsored Cop on a Rooftop, Culver’s Tip a Cop and a car show at Tom Peck Ford, which benefit the torch run, but this year they wanted to do more to raise money and awareness for the cause, Huntley Police Sgt. Amy Williams said. “The key with Special Olympics is it focuses on what an athlete can do,” Williams said. “… It’s not just about in the sporting field – it’s about their everyday lives.” Some of those athletes will be at the Huntley race to hand participants chocolate medals when they cross the finish

Big Fran’s brings new gaming experience to town By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com JOHNSBURG – Fritz Larsen, owner of Halftime Bar and Grill in Johnsburg, recently opened a new business just down the road from his sports bar. The new business is called Big Fran’s Boardwalk Gaming, featuring five slot machines along with a beer and wine bar. Big Fran’s, located at 2420 W. Johnsburg Road, officially opened its doors Sept. 22. Larsen said he named the gaming lounge after his mother, Francis, who passed away in June 2015. “There’s a demand for gaming right now,” Larsen said. “But I also created this new venue in honor of my mother because she loved playing slots.” Larsen described his new business as a quiet, more intimate place for people to come in and play slots while sipping on an alcoholic beverage. “Business has been fantastic so far,” Larsen said. “People have seemed to really enjoy the homey atmosphere of this space.” As for drinks, Big Fran’s currently offers its customers beer, wine, soda and water. Larsen said he possesses a full liquor license, and he’s planning to have a full bar at some point in the future. Larsen said he also plans to donate 5 percent of proceeds from Big Fran’s to various charities on an annual basis. Some of the organizations Larsen plans to donate to include the McHenry Little League, Home of the Sparrow and the McHenry Food Pantry. The money will be donated through a foundation in his mother’s name. Big Fran’s is open seven days a week. Larsen said he’s still trying to figure out the hours of operation, but the business is currently open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Mondays through Wednesdays, from 10 a.m. to midnight Thursdays, from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sundays.

PATRICK E. KITTERMAN Patrick E. Kitterman, 64, of Woodstock, Illinois passed away on Friday, October 7, 2016, after a long illness. Patrick was born in 1952 in Muskegon, Michigan, the son of the Philip and Florence (Garvey) Kitterman, and was the youngest of four children. His family moved to Effingham, Illinois in 1954, where he grew up, and stayed to raise his family.

He worked as a bindery operator for World Color Press in Effingham, until the 1990’s, when he moved to the Chicago area where the majority of his family lived, and he continued in the bindery in their plant in Bensenville, Illinois. It was in Bensenville in 2001 where he met his future wife, Debbie. In 2003, they moved to Wheeling, Illinois, where he spent several years working for Geneva International as a piano technician, and as the only employee of the owner of Bison Drums. Most recently they lived in Woodstock, Illinois, where he began his own creative woodworking business, and where he and Debbie were married on August 20, 2011. Not only did Pat have an uncanny artistic ability, but he was an accomplished musician, and played drums for various local bands, starting in his early teens and continuing until he moved to Chicago in the mid 1990’s. He could often be seen playing drums on the weekends for many local festivals or weddings in the Sagebrush Band. Pat enjoyed entertaining both with his artistic abilities and playing music whenever the opportunity would arise, and always made himself available to help anyone who wanted to learn more about the creation of art or how to become involved in playing drums, or in music in general.

STATE ILLINOIS ROUNDUP

News from across the state

Man charged with knowingly passing HIV

WILMETTE – A personal trainer from Wilmette has been charged with knowingly transmitting HIV to three women he dated. Jimmy Amutavi, 46, has been charged with three counts of criminal transmission of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, the Chicago Tribune reported Monday. Amutavi was diagnosed with HIV as early as 2001, Cook County prosecutors said. But despite the diagnosis, Amutavi repeatedly had unprotected sex with the women and then denied he had the virus when confronted, prosecutors allege. They also said he began monthslong dating relationships with each of the women while working as their personal trainer between April 2015 and this year. Amutavi’s attorney argued that his client had been taking retroviral medication that made it almost impossible for him to transmit HIV. Cook County Judge Laura Sullivan has barred him from contacting any of the victims. Amutavi is being held on $150,000 bail. He will return to court next week and faces three to seven years in prison for each charge.

Survey: Farmers worry about feral hog numbers

CHAMPAIGN – A new study of Illinois farmers has found that they are worried about property damage caused by feral hogs. Researchers from the Illinois Natural History Survey said Monday that they reviewed surveys from more than 3,000 Illinois farmers. The study found that 84 percent of the surveyed farmers in Illinois agree that feral hogs should be eliminated whenever possible. Feral hogs were once only in the southern U.S. but have spread and are now in 12 Illinois counties, most in the southern part of the state. Survey scientist Craig Miller said the animals are known to damage

soil and water quality and destroy agricultural crops. The survey found farmers trapping and eliminating the hogs instead of hunting them. Miller said that’s because hunters may hit one or two hogs and the rest scatter.

K-9 dogs to help find child porn offenders

KANKAKEE – Will County has enlisted a specially trained dog to help officers track child pornography. Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow is using money seized from criminal activities to pay for a black Labrador named Cache to be trained to detect hidden electronic devices. Glasgow said it’s a first in the state of Illinois. Cache and his handler, Investigator Megan Brooks, will go to training this month. The dog will join the High Technology Crimes Unit in November. The Daily Journal in Kankakee reported that child porn suspects often try to hide digital storage devices and dogs such as Cache can help sniff them out. The county also has four therapy dogs available for child abuse victims.

U.S. judge denies media access to trial evidence

CHICAGO – A U.S. judge in the racketeering trial of six purported Hobos street-gang leaders has refused media access to photographs and other evidence even after it’s shown in open court to jurors. Judge John Tharp Jr. ruling denies a Chicago Tribune request to release exhibits once they’re entered into evidence. Some evidence includes photos of victims allegedly killed by the gang. Tharp has ordered jurors not to follow any media coverage of the case. But he says in his ruling posted last week that he fears jurors wouldn’t be able to avert their eyes from sensational, front-page treatment of evidence and that that could undermine defendants’ fair-trial rights. The Tribune argued there’s a strong presumption in favor of granting access because reporters are “the eyes and the ears of the public.”

Chicago teachers, district reach tentative agreement By SARA BURNETT and MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Chicago teachers and the nation’s third-largest school district struck a tentative deal on a new contract late Monday, averting what would have been the second major strike since 2012 for Chicago Public Schools just hours before union members were set to hit the picket lines. Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis said at a news conference just before midnight Tuesday that after more than a year of negotiations, the two sides had hammered out an agreement that isn’t perfect but is good for students, teachers and the city. The deal still must be approved by the union’s House of Delegates and the full membership, a process that could take weeks. “There will be classes in the morning,” she said. “It wasn’t easy as you all know ... we’re very pleased we were able to come to this.” Lewis gave few details of the four-year proposal, though she said it included costof-living increases in the third and fourth year and that it doesn’t require current teachers to pay more toward their pensions – a change CPS had been seeking and the union rejected earlier this year. But future CPS hires would have to pick up that additional pension cost, Lewis said. There was no immediate comment from CPS, and no details about how much

the deal would cost or how the financially struggling district would pay for it. The CTU had directed its roughly 28,000 members to report to picket lines Tuesday morning unless they heard otherwise from union negotiators for a walkout that would have affected nearly 400,000 students. The two sides held negotiations throughout the weekend. On Monday afternoon, teachers picked up strike placards and painted banners. Earlier in the day, parents and other supporters rallied across from Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s home. “Nobody wants to go on strike but I think the teachers finally said ‘Enough is enough,’” Nate Rasmussen, a preschool teacher at Beasley Elementary School on the city’s South Side said before the tentative deal. He said the district’s 2013 closing of some 50 schools, layoffs of thousands of teachers in recent years and other spending cuts have made the job tougher. Teachers have been without a contract since June 2015. The union wanted no cuts to salary or benefits and an additional $200 million – or $500 per student – in spending to ensure adequate staffing and “to accommodate the needs of our children,” Lewis said on Friday. CPS has said it is working within the framework of a January offer, which included pay increases and a cap on privately operated charter schools but would have required all teachers to contribute more to their pension costs. The union turned it down in February.

and predatory comments about After hurricane, chaos women as “locker room talk” has lingers in waterlogged N.C.

LUMBERTON, N.C. – With floodwaters from Hurricane Matthew on the rise, at least one North Carolina city appeared near chaos Monday, its police station shuttered and sporadic gunfire in the air, and authorities worried that more communities could end up the same way. The storm is gone, but it left behind a waterlogged landscape, where flooding was expected to persist for the rest of the week. At least three rivers were forecast to reach record levels, some not cresting until Friday. In many areas, the scene resembled a repeat of Hurricane Floyd, which caused $3 billion in damage and destroyed 7,000 homes as it skirted the coast in 1999. Officials were concerned that other cities could suffer the fate of Lumberton. The Rev. Volley Hanson worried that stress from the lack of running water and electricity might push people over the edge.

Paul Ryan focusing on saving GOP majority The ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON – House Speaker Paul Ryan, the nation’s top elected Republican, effectively abandoned Donald Trump Monday, telling anxious fellow lawmakers he will not campaign for or defend the foundering businessman in the election’s closing weeks. Pro-Trump members rebelled in anger, accusing Ryan of conceding the election to Hillary Clinton. Indeed, Ryan said he would devote his energy to ensuring Clinton doesn’t get a “blank check” as president with a Democratic-controlled Congress, according to people on his private conference call with GOP House members. While the Wisconsin Republican did not formally rescind his own tepid endorsement of Trump, he told lawmakers they were free to do just that and fight for their own re-election. Trump fired back on Twitter, saying Ryan “should spend more time on balancing the budget, jobs and illegal immigration and not waste his time on fighting the Republican nominee.” Trump retained the backing of the Republican National Committee, which has overseen crucial field efforts for the candidate in battleground states. On a conference call with RNC members, chairman Reince Priebus said the party remains in full coordination with Trump. “Everything is on course,” Priebus said, according to a participant in the call. Still, Ryan’s announcement underscored the perilous predicament Republicans find themselves in one month from Election Day. Recent revelations of Trump’s predatory sexual comments about women deepened the worries

among GOP officials who fear he’ll drag down their own electoral prospects in November. But others look at Trump’s loyal bands of supporters and see no way for Republicans in other races to win without their support. Trump himself made no reference to Ryan and the GOP defections at a Pennsylvania rally, except perhaps one line that could apply to fleeing Republicans as well as the Democrats. “The last 72 hours has framed what this election is all about. It’s about the American people fighting back against corrupt politicians who don’t care about anything except for staying in power,” he said. Running mate Mike Pence said he was staying with Trump. “I’m honored to be standing with him,” Pence said. Trump’s candidacy long ago laid bare the turmoil roiling the GOP. Some party leaders had hoped to push off a reckoning until after the election, but with Ryan and other lawmakers publicly distancing themselves from Trump – and in some cases even calling for the real estate mogul to drop out of the race – that now appears impossible. For Ryan, the most pressing goal through the next four weeks is preventing Republicans from losing control of the House, a scenario that seemed remote as recently as a week ago. Although Republicans are not yet panicking given their wide 246-186 seat majority, Ryan and Greg Walden, the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, both acknowledged on Monday’s conference call that the majority was more in peril in light of Trump’s problems.

WASHINGTON – Whoever wins the White House, he or she will inherit the war in Syria, one of the most complex and brutal crises in the world. But neither Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump has articulated a comprehensive or realistic proposal to deal with it With Syrian President Bashar Assad and his allies Russia and Iran dug in and no sign the fighting is nearing an end, the new U.S. president will confront a problem for which there is no clean or clear solution. The civil war, complicated by the occupation of key areas by the Islamic State and other extremist groups, has further destabilized the Middle East and spread outward, along with millions of refugees, around the globe. Presidential nominees Clinton and Trump spar repeatedly over the best way forward. Trump has said the only American interest in Syria is defeating the Islamic State group and has suggested he might leave Syria’s fate to Russia and Iran. “I don’t like Assad at all, but Assad is killing ISIS,” Trump said at Sunday night’s debate. “Russia is killing ISIS. And Iran is killing ISIS. And those three have now lined up because of our weak

Obama and Clinton, as secretary of state, of having abandoned the country by not following through on a threat to bomb Syria if Assad used chemical weapons. On that point, Clinton incorrectly said she had already left the administration when Obama, and then she herself, warned Assad of a “red line” that would be crossed if chemical weapons were used. But she was no longer in office when Assad crossed that line and Obama decided not to follow through on his threat. It fell to her successor, Secretary of State John Kerry, to negotiate a stepdown, which involved a deal with Russia to press Assad to get rid of his remaining declared chemical weapons. Obama maintains that decision was the right one, but he has been criticized by many who believe it undercut U.S. credibility. Clinton pointed out that she, as chief diplomat, had pushed for a more robust response in Syria. “I, when I was secretary of state, advocated and I advocate today a no-fly zone and safe zone,” she said at the debate. “We need some leverage with the Russians, because they are not going to come to the negotiating table for a diplomatic resolution unless there is some leverage over them.”

OUR VIEW: McHENRY COUNTY BOARD ENDORSEMENTS

District 1: Barnes , Barber

Four candidates are running to fill two seats for District 1 on the McHenry County Board. Yvonne Barnes, a self-employed technical consultant, is the lone incumbent running. Tom Wilbeck, a retired financial services professional and business owner; Kerri Barber, a self-employed marketing communications strategist who resides in Cary; and Kathryn Potter, a stay-at-home mother and community volunteer with a background in social services, make up the rest of the field. Barnes and Wilbeck are running as Republicans, Potter and Barber as Democrats. All four candidates want to reduce County Board spending and provide property tax relief. Barnes has a proven history of fighting for decreased spending at the County Board level and has the experience to find a way to provide property tax relief. Barber wants to find ways to diversify the county’s economy and wants to identify what is stopping businesses from locating here or expanding, without taxing businesses more. District 1 covers eastern and southern Algonquin Township and the southeastern corner of Grafton Township, including Algonquin, Cary, Fox River Grove,Trout Valley and Barrington Hills. We endorse Barber and Barnes.

District 2: Thorsen, Reinert

When voters go to the polls Nov. 8, they will be electing two new faces to the McHenry County Board in District 2. Current District 2 board member Carolyn Schofield, R-Crystal Lake, decided to run for a seat in the Illinois House, and former board Chairman Ken Koehler stepped down last year to represent McHenry County on the Metra Board. Koehler’s appointed replacement, former Crystal Lake City Council member Jeffrey Thorsen, joins fellow Republican John Reinert and Democrats Jim Roden and Dominique Miller on the ballot. Thorsen is vice president of FirstMerit Bank in Union. Reinert is a self-employed home builder and real estate agent from Crystal Lake. Miller is a self-employed lifestyle consultant from Crystal Lake. Roden owns a custom picture frame shop in Ridgefield. District 2 covers northwestern Algonquin and far northeastern Grafton townships, and includes parts of Crystal Lake, Lakewood and Lake in the Hills. All four candidates support holding the line on spending and providing property tax relief to taxpayers. They split by party on reducing the size of the County Board and whether to eliminate the Valley Hi nursing home levy. We endorse Thorsen and Reinert.

ANOTHER VIEW

Trump doubles down in 2nd debate Has there been a more disturbing low in presidential politics? “If I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation,” Republican nominee Donald Trump threatened in the course of the second presidential debate Sunday night. “It’s just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country,” Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton responded. “Because you’d be in jail,” Trump shot back. Mark the moment. A major-party presidential nominee is officially promising to lock up his political opponent, despite the fact an impartial federal investigation concluded no fair prosecutor would have charged Clinton in the matter of her emails. If anyone needed any more proof Trump does not understand the meaning of rule of law as opposed to arbitrary rule of autocrat – that he would use the levers of the federal government in a vindictive, self-serving and corrupt manner – Trump provided it. When the discussion turned to policy, Trump was little better. He called Syrian refugees “the great Trojan horse of all time,”

as usual without evidence or foundation. He doubled down on the falsehood he opposed the Iraq War. The overwhelming impression was Trump, with his campaign sinking and Republican office holders urging him to withdraw, decided his best response was to snarl and double down on old falsehoods. Coming out of a disastrous first presidential debate, an even more disastrous aftermath and the release of a video in which he made disgusting comments about women, Trump dismissed his boasting of sexually predatory behavior as “locker room talk.” Clinton pointed out, rightly, that Trump’s recently disclosed comments were entirely in character – just the latest in a series of insults he has issued to all sorts of vulnerable people and groups. Trump helped make her case later in the debate when, asked by a Muslim American woman about Islamophobia, the Republican nominee stoked anti-Muslim sentiment by insinuating U.S. Muslims are hiding vital information about terrorists in the country. By contrast, Clinton said, “My vision of America is one where everyone has a place.” That is not Trump’s vision.

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 Rich Miller who say their pornographic images were found on Farnham’s Illinois House computer. The Democrats have been airing TV and radio ads and sending mailers blasting Republicans on this same basic issue. Republican Jerry Long, who is running against appointed Rep. Andy Skoog (D-LaSalle), was hit for renting one of his houses to a convicted sex offender. Republican Lindsay Parkhurst, who is challenging Rep. Kate Cloonen (D-Kankakee), was blasted for working to “keep a predator [of a 5-yearold child] out of jail.” Parkhurst is a defense attorney. Several other GOP candidates have been whacked for opposing House Speaker Michael Madigan’s failed budget proposal, although not in those words, of course. The Madigan proposal included funding for various programs related to sex offenders, so they’re being hit with that. Rep. Bradley’s own opponent Dave Severin got the treatment, as did others. And the GOP hit is spreading to other districts. “Yingling’s Dirty Money,” blares the headline on a new Republican mailer, which features an image of a

little girl with her head in her hands just behind a photo of Rep. Sam Yingling (D-Grayslake). Yingling’s GOP opponent was hit with a Democratic sex offender mailer earlier. “Sam Yingling has taken over $1,000,000 in campaign contributions from the same political groups who bankrolled a politician that pleaded guilty to horrific child pornography crimes,” the mailer claims, using very similar language to a recent House Democratic robocall that linked state Rep. Carol Sente’s Republican opponent to Dan Proft’s Liberty Principles PAC. “The candidate was sued by victims saying they were repeatedly ‘raped and sexually assaulted’ to produce child pornography,” the Republican mailer claims. “Sam Yingling won’t give back the political donations.” The mailer then excerpts a news report: “Depictions of sadistic and sexual abuse of children as young as 6 months old.” Ugh. The House Democrats are a pretty predictable bunch. If something works, they use it over and over again anywhere and everywhere they can until it stops working. This sort of slam helped keep Sente in office two years ago when the Democrats used a variation of the sexual predator “issue” against her GOP challenger Leslie Munger. Munger, who went on to be appointed state

comptroller, was whacked for saying she opposed unfunded state mandates, which the Democrats twisted to mean she was opposed to school mandates that help shield children from predators. Linking an opponent to child sexual predators is about the lowest thing anybody can do in politics. But it’s a type of tactic as old as negative campaigning itself. Almost everybody has heard the legend about Lyndon Baines Johnson wanting to spread a rumor that his opponent was engaging in, um, marital relations with a member of the porcine persuasion. When told he couldn’t do that because it wasn’t true, Johnson is said to have replied that he knew the claim was false, he just wanted to make his opponent deny it. Two years ago, the Munger campaign fell for the old LBJ trick and stirred up a media storm by flatly denying she wanted to protect child predators. Munger lost that race during an otherwise favorable Republican year. If the “issue” actually turns out to be an effective counterattack for the Republicans, the House Democrats may finally stop using it. One can only hope. In the meantime, Democrats can hardly complain.

A harsh new TV ad slams Rep. John Bradley (D-Marion) for supporting a convicted sex offender. It’s described by the Republicans as a form of payback for all the sex offender-related ads that the House Democrats have been using against Republicans this year and in years past. The ad begins with footage of a Chicago television anchorman saying “Federal prosecutors now accusing a former state Representative of possessing child pornography.” It then cuts to footage of convicted former state Rep. Keith Farnham, with an announcer saying “Unspeakable abuse from a Springfield Democrat.” Footage of Rep. Bradley appears on the screen: “But as Madigan’s top lieutenant in Democrat leadership, John Bradley stood by as the predator committed heinous crimes on his state computer.” “The sex assault victim was an infant,” the TV anchorman is heard saying. “Yet Bradley stroked a check to the predator’s campaign just to strengthen Madigan’s power. Cowardice so despicable you have to wonder, how does John Bradley sleep at night?” Bradley did contribute $1,000 to Farnham, but that was three years before Farnham’s arrest. Nobody had a clue what was going on with Farnham back then. Farnham is serving an eight-year prison sentence for trafficking in child pornography. He’s also been sued by two minors

Worried about your Samsung Note 7?

Here are your options By BREE FOWLER

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Worries about the safety of Samsung’s replacement Galaxy Note 7 smartphones have consumers fretting about what to do. And they’re getting little guidance from the company. U.S. regulators ordered a recall of the original Note 7, a huge phone-bordering-on-tablet with a huge battery, in late September after the devices demonstrated an unwelcome tendency to catch fire. Now, after reports that the company’s replacement versions also have overheated or caught fire, Samsung said it is “temporarily adjusting” Note 7 production to “ensure quality and safety matters.” But it neither confirmed nor denied a previous report by South Korea’s Yonhap news agency that it has suspended production of the phones. Samsung said it’s investigating the recent fires, while working with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. A commission spokesman said Monday that his agency is investigating five new incidents since the recall was announced, although it hasn’t confirmed whether they all involved phones that were distributed as replacements for devices involved in the recall. The four major U.S. mobile carriers, meanwhile, have all suspended tradeins for the replacement phones; so have major retailers such as Best Buy. In-

stead, these companies are offering to swap Note 7s out for any other smartphone of the customer’s choice. Here’s a look at the options for Note 7 owners.

Swap for a different Samsung phone

Samsung’s equivalent phones are mostly, well, old. If you just dropped several hundred dollars on the latest Samsung device, do you really want to trade it for last year’s model? One option is Samsung’s Galaxy S smartphone, which is slightly smaller and cheaper than the Note. While it has many of the same features of the Note, it lacks a stylus and the Note 7’s iris scanner. The phone also came out in March, which might render it perilously close to middle-aged where cutting-edge types are concerned. An older version of the Note is also an option, though also a disappointing one, given that the Note 5 (there was no

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2016

Actress Amber Tamblyn said she was assaulted by a former boyfriend and felt compelled to speak out about it by Donald Trump’s 2005 remarks bragging about groping and kissing women. Tamblyn said on Instagram that her ex-boyfriend grabbed her by her hair and crotch and carried her out of a nightclub. She said the part of her body that Trump “described as something he’d like to grab a woman by, was bruised from my ex-boyfriend’s violence for at least the next week.” Trump’s presidential campaign has been thrown into upheaval since the video of his remarks was made public Friday.

Drake shatters AMA nominations record

Actress Kristen Stewart attends a special screening Oct. 3 of “Certain Women” during the 54th New York Film Festival in New York. Since the “Twilight” franchise, the actress has quietly amassed an impressive body of work, including a trio of very different films at this year’s festival.

With 3 NYFF films, Kristen Stewart admits she’s a workaholic NEW YORK – Three films in this year’s New York Film Festival certainly qualify Kristen Stewart as a workaholic, but the actress doesn’t think that’s such a bad thing. “Oh yeah, I’m totally addicted, man... I get super obsessed with stuff, you know, and which is to a fault. But it’s served me well,” Stewart said. Since the “Twilight” franchise, the actress has quietly amassed an impressive body of work, including a trio of very different films at this year’s festival. She’s already premiered “Certain Women,” directed by Kelly Reichardt, the festival is screening Olivier Assayas’s “Personal Shopper,” and Stewart will walk the red carpet again for Ang Lee’s “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk” on Friday. With a diverse set of roles since portraying Bella in the “Twilight” series, Stewart doesn’t feel her evolution was intentional and says she just got lucky. “Honestly, it was not like a tactical approach, you know what I mean? I’ve always known that if I have a certain dynamic with someone or conversation, it’s either leading to productivity or not,” Stewart said. Besides acting, Stewart wants to direct, too, and working with Lee and Reichardt gave her a unique perspective, especially since the two take a completely different approach to directing a film. “I think they are both absolute geniuses when it comes to being composed, and when it comes to being aware of something that we’re not aware of. They see the invisible and they capture it, and that’s what I would like to do while making movies,” Stewart said.

NEW YORK – Drake earned a record-breaking 13 American Music Awards nominations on Monday thanks to his latest album, “Views,” shattering Michael Jackson’s mark of 11 nominations in a single year from 1984 when the King of Pop had “Thriller.” Rihanna got seven nominations and Adele and Justin Bieber tied with five each. Beyonce and The Chainsmokers each received four nominations. Bryson Tiller, Twenty One Pilots, Carrie Underwood, Fetty Wap and The Weeknd earned three nominations each. Nominees for artist of the year are Adele, Beyonce, Bieber, Drake, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, Rihanna, Twenty One Pilots, Carrie Underwood and The Weeknd. The 10 nominees will be cut in half by Nov. 14 based on fan votes. Voting on artist of the year will close Nov. 17. Nominees for the title of new artist of the year are Alessia Cara, The Chainsmokers, DNCE, Shawn Mendes and Zayn. There is no overall song of the year category this year; instead honors will be handed out for best song in the categories of pop/rock, country, rap/hip-hop and soul/R&B. Nominations are based on a metric that includes sales, airplay and social activity tracked by Billboard magazine and its partners. Winners are determined by fan votes on the show’s website or through Facebook and Twitter. The awards show will air live Nov. 20 from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on ABC.

Ryan Lochte engaged to former Playboy model

LOS ANGELES – Ryan Lochte has gotten engaged to former Playboy model Kayla Rae Reid. The pair shared Instagram pictures Sunday night of the 25-year-old Reid sporting a big diamond ring in front of a Malibu backdrop. Reid’s photo included the note, “Speechless. Absolutely beautiful. So in love with YOU.” The 31-year-old Olympic swimmer and “Dancing with the Stars” contestant told USA Today for a story published last week that he was ready to ask Reid to marry him. He said they met in January at a nightclub and he realized she was “the one” after she stuck by him during his recent controversies. Two men rushed the “Dancing with the Stars” stage last month to protest Lochte for lying about a drunken encounter during the Rio Olympics.

RUNNING REALITY Companies aim to take your treadmill to the virtual realm

By MIKE PLUNKETT The Washington Post

During the extreme winter of 2009-2010, Gary McNamee relied on his treadmill to train for the Boston Marathon. McNamee lives in Hopkinton,where the race starts, but the weather stymied his attempts to go out for a long run. “I’m in my basement thinking, ‘Jeez, the course is right up the road. I can go out there and film it and watch it while I was on the treadmill,’ ” McNamee said. So he did – and realized he could market a video simulation of the famed course to other runners. Thus he began Outside Interactive, a company that, along with others, is merging fitness with high-definition virtual technology. Runners log in to the Outside Interactive app and pay for videos of routes, which they watch on their iPad or Android tablet or on an HD television. While running, they can manually select the pace or sync their tracking device to the app. The video will speed up and slow down as the runners change speed. In a bit of surreality, the crowds and fellow racers in the video will run and cheer in proportion to the speed of the real runners. Taking it a stride further, RunSocial, a company based in Singapore that launched its running app last year, uses augmented reality technology, where the app overlays the runner’s virtual presence via an avatar with a video of a real-world route (a la Pokémon Go). The avatar’s speed is determined by the company’s TreadTracker foot pod or can be set manually. “We had this idea of a mixed-reality concept, where basically we wanted to run real-world routes but didn’t want computer graphics, but also would love to see others in these routes while we run,” said Marc Hardy, RunSocial’s co-founder and chief executive. Hardy, who describes himself as a regular runner, saw an opportunity for treadmill users who struggle with Photo provided by RunSocial via AP boredom and motivation to enhance RunSocial users (top) can watch avatars of themselves run real-world routes, such as the their running experience.

tions of each of the recorded courses. Some real-life races are working with Outside Interactive and RunSocial to expand and enhance their own efforts. Earlier this year, RunSocial launched a digital version of the Prague Marathon and also offered a digital version of the Virgin Money London Marathon for a second year. The digital London Marathon featured astronaut Tim Peake, who ran the course on a treadmill aboard the International Space Station. Hardy said RunSocial is looking to make inroads in the U.S. market with future partnerships and more U.S.-based video routes. In 2015, Outside Interactive collaborated with the New Balance Falmouth Road Race, a 7-mile course on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Jennifer Edwards, Falmouth’s general manager, said the race organizers were hesitant at first when they heard McNamee’s pitch but saw the opportunity to give those who couldn’t run the live race – because of scheduling or geography – a chance to participate. Edwards said Falmouth’s goal was “not to add to the race day experience but add another opportunity to be a part of the experience.” Edwards said 40 finishers completed the virtual race, which was held at the same time as the actual race. Each was given a bib and a finisher’s certificate, as well as guaranteed entry to the 2016 Falmouth. Edwards said the field included competitors from as far away as California, Florida, Texas and Oregon. It also included Kara Salvagno, a longtime Connecticut resident who relocated to Scottsdale, Arizona, last year. She has competed in the Falmouth Road Race almost every year since 1993. “I thought, ‘This is fabulous! I have so many friends who still run the race, but I can’t do it this year,” she said. Salvagno said she made the virtual run a full event. She asked her home gym to open at 6 a.m. so she could start racing at the same time the race began on Cape Cod. She also FaceTimed with a friend who was running 7 miles at their favorite running spot in Connecticut at the same time Salvagno ran the virtual Falmouth. “It was a waltz down memory lane, really,” Salvagno said. “We just laughed the entire time. It didn’t feel like we were running.”

TECH Triona Guidry As always, our first step is to reboot. In the case of a network, you should reboot all network devices as well as all computers and other internet-enabled equipment. To reboot a router, turn it off, wait a few moments, then turn it back on. If you have dual devices, I find it works best if you turn off both modem and router, then turn on the modem first and the router second. Your wireless manufacturer may have more tips on rebooting your network. Wireless networks are notoriously susceptible to interference. The construction of your building can interfere with your connection, as can other wireless equipment such as cordless landline phones and baby monitors. In general, wireless networks work best when the access

point is above ground, in a high spot such as the top of a bookshelf, and away from televisions, speakers and other potential sources of interference. A central location will maximize your network’s reach. If you’re still having trouble with dead spots, you might consider a wireless extender (a device that boosts your wireless signal), but with most modern networks this isn’t necessary. Another simple fix is to keep your modem and router on a surge protector. Blackouts and brownouts can damage your router, thus impacting its performance. Routers and other network devices need updates just like your computer. For routers we call this a firmware update. You can download firmware updates and installation instructions from your manufacturer’s site. However, I recommend you write down your existing configuration settings before upgrading firmware or making other changes to your network.

Technology changes rapidly, and equipment quickly goes out of date. If your wireless device is more than a few years old, check to see if there is a newer model with improved capabilities. The newer wireless specs are much faster and better at resisting interference. Is the network slow only on one particular computer? Try rebooting that computer, and make sure it has all current software updates. You also can try relocating it to see whether there’s an issue with wireless interference. If there’s still no improvement in performance, it might be time to call in a tech professional who can help you further troubleshoot problems.

Have you ever been frustrated by a slow wireless network? If your connection is slow, there are a number of simple ways you can try to improve performance. Bear in mind there can be a difference between a slow wireless connection and a slow internet connection. The best way to test this is to try plugging your computer into the network, to see whether that makes a difference. In this article, we’ll talk specifically about improving wireless signals. Depending on your internet provider, you typically will have a modem and/or a router. The modem provides the link to the internet, while the router helps your computers connect to that link. You may have an all-in-one device from your internet provider, or you may have bought your own router separately. Your wireless network likely is originating from this router. We sometimes refer to it as a wireless access point.

Treatment helps vaginal bulge Dear Dr. K: I’m a woman in my 60s. I saw my doctor because of rectal pain and constipation. She told me I have a “rectocele.” What does this mean? Dear Reader: The vagina is separated from the rectum by a wall of tough, fibrous tissue called fascia. Sometimes, an area of this wall gets weak, and part of the rectum bulges into the vagina. This bulge is called a rectocele. A rectocele usually develops after the vaginal wall is damaged when a baby is born in the normal way, without a cesarean section. But symptoms may not develop until later in life. That’s because the damaged vaginal wall weakens slowly. Rectoceles often are not seen until a woman enters menopause. Any condition that frequently puts more pressure in the lower pelvis increases the chance that a rectocele will develop. Frequent straining to have a bowel movement because of chronic constipation can do it. So can repetitive heavy lifting. So can a chronic cough, such as from asthma, chronic lung disease or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Each surge of pressure in the lower pelvis weakens the vaginal wall slightly more. A small rectocele may not cause any symptoms. Larger rectoceles, however, can trigger a variety of rectal and vaginal complaints. These include: • A bulge of tissue protruding through the vaginal opening • Constipation • Difficulty having a bowel movement • Pain or discomfort during sex • A feeling that the rectum has not emptied completely after a bowel movement • A sensation of rectal pressure • Rectal pain • Difficulty controlling the passage of

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff stool or gas from the rectum • Low back pain that is relieved by lying down. A rectocele will not heal on its own. It may remain a minor problem, or may become larger and more problematic with time. If your symptoms are bothersome, your doctor can prescribe a pessary, a device shaped like a ring, block or plug. It is placed into the vagina to support the bulging tissues. It works to fix the problem in many women. Sometimes, however, surgery is required to repair the weakness in the fascia between your rectum and vagina. This repair may be done by reinforcing the area with stitches. Or it may involve more complex techniques, such as placing a mesh patch to strengthen and support the wall between the rectum and vagina. Surgery usually leads to improvement or complete relief of symptoms. Many women with a rectocele also have related conditions, including bulging of the bladder into the vagina, or sagging of the uterus into the vagina. This condition is called pelvic organ prolapse. Surgery to repair pelvic organ prolapse can usually be done at the same time as a rectocele repair. Most of the time, the symptoms caused by a rectocele can be improved by treatments. I’ll bet that’s the case with you. • Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

woman is she’s sending you signals she’s interested in starting a romantic relationship, and ask her if it’s true. If she says it is, ask what she plans to do about her boyfriend. If she’s unsure, you then will have to decide how you feel about becoming part of a triangle, because it could get messy. Very messy. Between us, you would be better off if you focused on finding someone who is available and clear about her orientation. And if it means forcing yourself to go to Minneapolis, then that’s what you should do. Dear Abby: I have always made it a habit to keep my home neat and tidy. I’m not obsessive; we just make it a point to pick up after ourselves daily, instead of leaving everything a mess and then trying to tackle it all once every week or two. I suppose it also helps that I am child-free. On more than one occasion, friends who visit my home have commented on how neat and clean I keep it. Some of them have asked if they could pay me to come and clean their homes. I guess a small part of me should be flattered, but I’m also offended. I feel it’s the equivalent of inviting me to a party just to serve the drinks. I have no desire to become an indentured servant to my friends. Am I being too sensitive? – Not Obsessive In New York Dear Not Obsessive: If you are not obsessive, then why are you obsessing over a compliment these friends were trying to pay you? I sincerely doubt they were serious, unless they began negotiating your weekly rate. To My Jewish Readers: Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, begins at sundown. During this 24-hour period, observant Jewish people fast, engage in reflection and prayer, and formally repent for any sin that might have been committed during the previous Hebrew year. To all of you – may your fast be an easy one.

Dear Abby:

DEAR ABBY I’m a 25-year-old lesbian from a Jeanne suburban area Phillips outside the Twin Cities. It’s not easy finding other gay women in this area, unless I visit Minneapolis, which I don’t enjoy. I always seem to fall for straight girls or girls who have always been straight but are bi-curious, which never ends well for me. My current situation has me stumped. The girl I’m interested in is in a relationship with a man. They have been together for a long time and have kids together. I have kept my distance for the most part because I don’t want to be pushy or seem like a home-wrecker. As we have grown closer over the past couple of months, she has told me she doesn’t want to be with him anymore. She said she isn’t in love with him and she’s tired of pretending. Recently, she confided she can’t reach sexual satisfaction unless she thinks about women and she isn’t sure what that means. She made a move on me once. A few weeks ago she kissed me, but nothing has happened since. I’m not sure what to say or do – if anything at all. Help?

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

PRAYER to the BLESSED VIRGIN (Never Known to Fail)

Jan Ehrenwald, a psychoanalyst and author, pointed out that a 13-year-old boy had tried unsuccessfully to teach a famous composer simple multiplication and division. Which composer? In today’s deal, South needs 13 tricks to get home in seven hearts. What should he do after West leads the spade king? The bidding was aggressive by North. When South showed one ace and one king, North assumed it was the diamond king (based on West’s unfavorable-vulnerability overcall) and plunged into seven. (Users of Roman Key Card Blackwood have an advantage here because after South shows his ace, his six-diamond bid announces that king and denies the club king. Showing specific kings is an excellent idea, even in regular Blackwood, when you have a known trump fit.) It is very easy to assume favorable breaks here. But how can South get home with trumps 4-0 and diamonds 4-1? Declarer has only 12 top tricks: one spade, five hearts, three diamonds and three clubs. If trumps break well, he can claim. However, if the breaks are bad, declarer needs to take two ruffs in his hand. He wins the first trick on the board and plays a heart to his queen, seeing West discard a spade. Now comes a diamond to dummy’s queen, a spade ruff in hand, the club queen, a club to dummy’s king, a club ruff in hand, all of the remaining trumps, and claim. Ehrenwald was talking about Ludwig van Beethoven.

Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel fruitful vine, splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh star of the sea, help me and show me here you are my Mother. Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God Queen of Heaven and Earth I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in my necessity (make request). There are none which can withstand your power. O Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse to thee. (three times) Holy Mary, I place this prayer in your hands (three times) Say this prayer for three consecutive days and then you must publish and it will be granted to you.
