A few hours later he called one of his friends and his friend came over and he also sexually assaulted me. For 24 hours straight they continued to do this to me. Then they took me home and dropped me off.”

Quinn: Pension debt growth slows

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn said Saturday that Illinois’ massive pension shortfall will grow at a slower pace of $5 million a day, but the Chicago Democrat continued to pressure legislators to solve the problem, saying “we must stop this bleeding.”

The daily growth in the state’s unfunded liability – the cost of benefits it has promised public employees and retirees – was estimated at $17 million a day for the fiscal year that ends Sunday.

Quinn said that number is expected to drop in the next fiscal year in part because the state has made its full pension payment for the past several years. Legislation

A knife hangs on the wall next to Kati Beck’s bed.

On warm summer nights, with her bedroom windows open, a car door will slam shut, violently waking up the 30-year-old retired Air Force airman. She’ll reach for the knife and hurl it toward the door. Realizing no one is there, she’ll pick the knife up and go back to sleep, hoping her nightmares remain just that.

that curbed pension benefits for newly hired workers also contributed to the decrease.

But in a press release, Quinn said Illinois residents continue to pay “a steep price” for the Legislature’s failure to address the $97 billion crisis.

“We must stop this bleeding,” he said. “Legislators must work around the clock to put a bill on my desk that erases the pension debt for the greater good of the people of Illinois.”

Illinois has the nation’s worst state pension crisis, due mostly to years of lawmakers skipping or shorting the annual payment to the state’s five public-employee retirement funds. Because of

More than a quarter of the approximately 200,000 women currently serving in the military will be sexually assaulted during their careers, according to the Pentagon. Beck knows this statistic all too well, as she said she was assaulted twice during her seven years in the Air Force.

“I don’t think I have a friend that says they haven’t been raped,” Beck said of her fellow female airmen.

Beck, a Marengo resident,

now speaks openly about her military experiences. She is joined by others, as evidenced by the recent charges of sexual assault made against the heads of the Air Force’s and Army’s sexual assault prevention programs, as well as three players on the Naval Academy’s football team.

“If I don’t speak about it, nobody else is going to,” she said.

On the anniversary of a landmark Supreme Court decision that recognized the right to an attorney in criminal cases, a bill waiting for the governor’s signature could provide free legal assistance in the civil arena to those who cannot afford it.

Under the limited pilot program, approved by lawmakers in House Bill 3111, legal help would be provided in landlord-tenant disputes to those who fall at or below the federal poverty level.

While the finer details have yet to be ironed out, if Gov. Pat Quinn signs the bill, it would be a rare step in providing free legal representa-

tion in civil courtrooms.

“For the most part, you’re not facing incarceration in civil courts,” McHenry County Chief Judge Michael Sullivan said. “… But that doesn’t mean that the issue’s impact on your life and your family’s lives … are not as important to your well-being or your family’s well-being.”

Sullivan is part of the state’s 11-member Access to Justice Commission, which is looking to make it easier to navigate the state’s legal system, especially for those who are indigent or vulnerable.

The measure comes on the heels of the 50th anniversary of Gideon v. Wainwright, the Supreme Court decision

JOHANNESBURG – Paying tribute to his personal hero, President Barack Obama met privately Saturday with Nelson Mandela’s family as the world anxiously awaited news on the condition of the ailing 94-year-old anti-apartheid leader.

Obama, who has spoken movingly about Mandela throughout his trip to Africa, praised the former South African president’s “moral courage” during remarks from the grand Union Buildings where Mandela was inaugurated as his nation’s first black president.

The U.S. president also called on the continent’s leaders, including in neighboring Zimbabwe, to take stock of Mandela’s willingness to put country before self and step down after one term despite his immense popularity.

“We as leaders occupy these spaces temporarily and we don’t get so deluded that we think the fate of our country doesn’t depend on how long we stay in office,” Obama said during a news conference with South African President Jacob Zuma.

Obama’s stop in South Africa marked the midway point of a weeklong trip to Africa, his most significant engagement with the continent since taking office in 2009.

His lack of personal attention on the region has frustrated some Africans who had high expectations for the first black American president and son of a Kenyan man.

Even with Mandela’s health casting a shadow over his visit, Obama tried to keep focus on an agenda that includes deeper U.S. economic ties with Africa.

The president dismissed suggestions that he was only investing personal capital on Africa’s economy now as a response to the increased focus on the continent by China, India, Brazil and others.

“I want everybody playing in Africa,” he said. “The more, the merrier.”

But the president pointedly called on

U.S. President Barack Obama pauses during a town hall meeting Saturday with young African leaders at the University of Johannesburg Soweto in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Africans to make sure that countries seeking an economic foothold on the continent are making a “good deal for Africa.”

“If somebody says they want to come build something here, are they hiring African workers?” Obama said. “If somebody says that they want to help you develop your natural resources, how much of the money is staying in Africa? If they say that they’re very interested in a certain industry, is the manufacturing and value-added done in Africa?”

The president did not specifically single out China, but some African leaders have criticized Beijing for such behaviors.

Obama’s focus on trade and business appeared to be well received in Africa, home to six of the world’s 10 fastest-growing economies. The majority of the questions he received from the South African press and later at a town hall meeting with young African leaders focused on U.S. economic interests in the region.

Between his two events, Obama spent

na with tobacco and alcohol.

Legalization strategist Ethan Nadelmann, executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance, likes the direction the marijuana smoke is wafting. But he knows his side has considerable work yet to do.

“I’m constantly reminding my allies that marijuana is not going to legalize itself,” he says.

Eighteen states and the District of Columbia have legalized the use of marijuana for medical purposes since California voters made the first move in 1996. Voters in Colorado and Washington state took the next step last year and approved pot for recreational use. Alaska is likely to vote on the same question in 2014, and a few other states are expected to put recreational use on the ballot in 2016.

Nearly half of adults have tried marijuana, 12 percent of them in the past year, according to a survey by the Pew Research Center. More teenagers now say they smoke marijuana than ordinary cigarettes.

In a statement following the call, Machel said she drew strength from the Obama and his “touch of personal warmth.”

Obama, who has met Mandela in person only once before, did not visit the former leader in the hospital out of respect for his family’s wishes, the White House said. Ahead of his arrival in South Africa, the president had told reporters that he did not need “a photoop” and didn’t want to be obtrusive.

Obama’s ascent to the White House has drawn inevitable comparisons to Mandela. Both are their nations’ first black presidents, symbols of racial barrier breaking and winners of the Nobel Peace Prize.

WASHINGTON – It took 50 years for American attitudes about marijuana to zigzag from the paranoia of “Reefer Madness” to the excesses of Woodstock back to the hard line of “Just Say No.” The next 25 years took the nation from Bill Clinton, who famously “didn’t inhale,” to Barack Obama, who most emphatically did.

And now, in just a few short years, public opinion has moved so dramatically toward general acceptance that even those who champion legalization are surprised at how quickly attitudes are changing and states are moving to approve the drug – for medical use and just for fun.

It is a moment in America that is rife with contradictions: • People are looking more kindly on marijuana even as science reveals more about the drug’s potential dangers, particularly for young people.

• States are giving the green light to the drug in direct defiance of a federal pro-

Ill. hospitals add Chicago readies for weapons law video interpreters Gov. Pat Quinn The ASSOCIATED PRESS URBANA – New video technology offering patients help from language interpreters via smartphone or tablet is being adopted at a growing number of hospitals in Illinois, as proponents point to advantages on top of making the process more personal.

The face-to-face component enables the use of sign language, and because the work is done remotely, interpreters can be found quicker. It also lifts the interpreting burden off of family members who may be unfamiliar with medical terminology or may summarize information incorrectly.

Presence Covenant Medical Center in Urbana and Presence United Samaritans in Danville are the latest to put the technology to use, The (Champaign) News-Gazette reported Saturday.

Both hospitals were already offering phone interpreters in 180 languages. But the video element adds an important dimension and broadens the range of skills interpreters can put to use, such as sign language, said United

Samaritans spokeswoman Gretchen Yordy.

Covenant language services supervisor Alejandra Coronel said a professional interpreter can do the job with more detachment than a relative.

“If you are there with a family member, you might be biased in the information you’re going to provide to your loved one,” she told The News-Gazette. “Or it can be complicated because it might be an abuser who is bringing the loved one. We don’t know if the patient is being served in the way they are supposed to be served.”

Coronel said sometimes family members thrust into the role of interpreter can come away with feelings of guilt if the patient later dies.

They might wonder if there was a miscommunication that led to a wrong treatment, she said.

The Presence hospitals are using a service called LanguageU through LanguageLine Solutions.

Also offering video interpretation in Urbana are the Carle Foundation Hospital and Carle Physician Group.

8STATE BRIEFS Gutierrez: House must hold vote on immigration CHICAGO – Congressman Luis Gutierrez said supporters of comprehensive immigration reform must make their voices heard as the debate shifts to the House of Representatives.

Durbin was part of a bipartisan group that drafted legislation approved by the Democrat-controlled Senate this week. The measure would strengthen security along the Mexican border and provide a path to citizenship for immigrants living in the U.S. unlawfully.

But the bill’s prospects are uncertain in the Republican-led House.

has yet to sign concealed carry

By DON BABWIN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – This city, where violent street gangs shoot it out dozens of times a week despite some of the nation’s toughest restrictions on guns, now faces a new challenge: Well-meaning citizens with the legal right to hit the streets with loaded firearms, whenever they want.

As Gov. Pat Quinn mulls whether to sign off on eliminating the country’s last concealed-carry ban, the question in Chicago is whether it will matter in the crime-weary city. Will a place that long had one of the tightest bans on handguns be more at risk?

Or will it be safer with a law that can only add to the number of guns already on the street?

Neighborhood leaders, anti-crime activists and police officials worry about additional mayhem in Chicago. But other residents, including some who live in Chicago’s more violent areas, believe more guns will allow them to defend themselves better.

“We just had a weekend where something like 48 people were shot, seven died,” said Otis McDonald, 79, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit that ended with the U.S. Su-

AP photo

preme Court tossing out Chicago’s strict gun ban three years ago. “Now law-abiding citizens like myself ... can carry them when they want to and not carry them when they don’t want to, and the people out there who will do us harm won’t know when we got them and when we don’t.”

At City Hall, where Chicago’s anti-gun campaign has centered for years, the reaction to concealed-carry legislation has been relatively quiet. The reasons seem to boil down to this: The city can do little about stopping the law because a federal appeals court ordered Illinois to end its public possession ban by this summer.

“We would prefer to have the [gun] bans we’ve always enacted... [but] it’s the best

we could do based upon the mandate we have,” said Alderman Patrick O’Connor.

The bill sitting on Quinn’s desk is a hard-fought compromise between conservative downstate lawmakers who opposed most gun restrictions and anti-gun lawmakers from Chicago and other urban areas. The legislation requires state police to issue a concealed-carry permit to any gun owner with a state-issued firearm owners’ identification card, and who passes a background check, pays a $150 fee and undergoes 16 hours of training.

It’s not as stringent as concealed-carry laws in California, New York and a handful of others states, which give law enforcement authorities more power to deny permits.

But it’s more restrictive than

earlier proposals by gun rights advocates, including one that would have superseded all local gun restrictions. For example, it won’t wipe out Chicago and Cook County’s ban on assault weapons.

Most significantly for gun control advocates, the legislation does prohibit guns in places like schools, buses, trains, bars and government buildings.

“If you think about all the prohibited places there are ... I don’t think you will see an overwhelming number of people actually [carrying weapons] because it becomes such a headache,” said state Sen. Kwame Raoul, a Chicago lawmaker and lead negotiator on the bill who represents President Barack Obama’s former state senate district.

Ill. farmers can recycle pesticide containers SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Department of Agriculture is again offering farmers a free pesticide container recycling program this summer.

Sites throughout the state will collect the containers starting in late July. The used containers will be ground into chips and turned into shipping pallets, fence posts and other products.

Agriculture Director Bob Flider said more than 2 million agrichemical containers have been collected since the program began. These containers would otherwise go into landfills.

Collection sites accept only high-density polyethylene, No. 2 plastic, agrichemical containers that are clean and dry. Participants must remove all caps, labels, booklets and foil seals.

More information, including the collection site schedule, is available at www.agr.state.il.us.

NSA leaker playing game of hide-and-seek Some criticize Snowden saga as distraction from debate over government surveillance those who’ve called Snowden a “traitor.”

The president, himself, has dismissed the 30-year-old Snowden as a “hacker” and vowed the U.S. won’t be scrambling military jets to snatch the former contractor and return him to the U.S., where he faces espionage charges.

Some say Snowden is losing ground in the battle for public opinion by cloaking his travels in secrecy, creating more interest in his efforts to elude U.S. authorities than his allegations against the government.

By disappearing in Russia, he loses “access to rehabilitate himself in the public’s mind,” said William Weaver, a

By GENARO C. ARMAS The Associated Press GETTYSBURG, Pa. – As re-enacted war raged several miles away, tourists strolled a commercial strip of Gettysburg to survey T-shirts, hats and other trinkets to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War’s pivotal battle.

More than 200,000 people – including thousands of re-enactors – are expected to visit this small south-central Pennsylvania town through Fourth of July weekend to mark the milestone.

DEATH VALLEY, Calif.

– Scorching heat blistered the Southwest on Saturday, where highs between 115 and 120 degrees were expected for parts of Arizona, Nevada and California through the weekend.

Forecasters said temperatures in sunbaked Las Vegas could match the record of 117 degrees Saturday; as of late afternoon, it was 115 degrees.

Phoenix hit 119 degrees by mid-afternoon, breaking the record for June 29 that was set in 1994.

And large swaths of California sweltered under extreme heat warnings, which are expected to last into Tuesday night – and maybe even longer.

The forecast called for Death Valley called for 128 degrees Saturday, but it was 3 degrees shy of that, according to unofficial reports from the National Weather Service.

Death Valley’s record high of 134 degrees, set a century ago, stands as the highest temperature ever recorded on Earth.

A couple hours south in Baker, the temperature peaked at an unofficial 117 degrees in the road tripper’s oasis in the Mojave Desert on Interstate 15.

The strip of gas stations and restaurants between Los Angeles and Las Vegas is known by travelers for the giant thermometer that often notes temperatures in the triple digits.

Whisked out of a luxury Hong Kong hotel, vanishing into the mysterious wing of a Moscow airport, Edward Snowden’s continent-jumping, hide-and-seek game seems like the stuff of a pulp thriller – a desperate man’s drama played out before a worldwide audience trying to decide if he’s a hero or a villain.

But the search for the former National Security Agency contractor who spilled government secrets has become something of a distracting sideshow, some say, overshadowing at least for now the important debate over the gov-

Court term ends with flourish

By MARK SHERMAN The Associated Press

Cynthia Wides (right) and Elizabeth Carey exchange wedding vows Saturday at City Hall in San Francisco. Dozens of gay couples have lined up outside City Hall as clerks have resumed issuing same-sex marriage licenses one day after a federal appeals court cleared the way for the state of California to immediately lift a four-year freeze.

Gay marriage opponents ask court to intervene

By LISA LEFF The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO – Less than 24 hours after California began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, lawyers for the sponsors of the state’s gay marriage ban filed an emergency motion Saturday asking the U.S. Supreme Court to stop the weddings being performed in San Francisco.

Attorneys with the Arizona-based Alliance Defending Freedom claim in the petition that the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals acted prematurely and unfairly on Friday when it allowed gay marriage to resume. The court lifted a hold it had placed on same-sex unions while a lawsuit challenging the ban made its way to and through the Supreme Court.

“The Ninth Circuit’s June 28, 2013 Order purporting to dissolve the stay ... is the latest in a long line of judicial irregularities that have unfairly thwarted Petitioners’ defense of California’s marriage amendment,” the paperwork states. “Failing to correct the appellate court’s actions threatens to undermine the public’s confidence in its legal system.”

Alliance Defending Freedom senior counsel Austin Nimocks said the Supreme Court’s consideration of the case is not done yet because his clients still have 22 days to ask the justices to reconsider the ruling announced Wednesday.

The justices said Proposition 8’s backers didn’t have legal authority to defend the ban after the governor and attorney general declined to do so.

Under Supreme Court rules, the losing side has 25 days to

request a rehearing.

While such requests are almost never granted, the high court said it wouldn’t finalize its judgment in the case at least until after that waiting period elapsed. The appeals court said when it imposed the stay it would remain in place until the Supreme Court issued its final ruling, Nimocks said.

“Everyone on all sides of the marriage debate should agree that the legal process must be followed,” Nimocks said. “On Friday, the 9th Circuit acted contrary to its own order without explanation.”

Many legal experts who had anticipated such a last-ditch effort by gay marriage opponents said Friday it was unlikely to succeed because the 9th Circuit has independent authority over its own orders, in this case its 2010 stay.

While the ban’s backers can still ask the Supreme Court for a rehearing, the 25-day waiting period is not binding on lower federal courts, Vikram Amar, a constitutional law professor with the University of California, Davis law school, said.

“As a matter of practice, most lower federal courts wait to act,” Amar said. “But there is nothing that limits them from acting sooner. It was within the 9th Circuit’s power to do what it did.”

The petition was submitted to Justice Anthony Kennedy, who oversees motions in cases on appeal from the 9th Circuit.

Kennedy also wrote the decision on the other gay marriage case the Supreme Court handed down Wednesday striking down the federal law that prevented the federal government from awarding spousal benefits to married gay couples.

The probe affects nearly 344,000 vans from the 2007 and 2008 model years.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it has received 22 complaints from owners about unexpected braking. In some cases, the

vans braked while drivers were accelerating, cutting the speed by up to 30 miles per hour. Five people told the agency that dealers found trouble in a steering angle sensor in the electronic stability control system.

The agency said it has no reports of crashes or injuries.

Investigators will determine if the problem happens frequently enough to seek a recall. The agency opened the case this past Tuesday.

WASHINGTON – A historic Supreme Court term ended with a flourish of major rulings that marked a bitter defeat for racial minorities and a groundbreaking victory for gay rights, all in the space of a day.

The justices struck down parts of two federal laws – the Voting Rights Act and the Defense of Marriage Act – that were passed with huge bipartisan majorities of Congress.

Yet only one justice at the center of this conservative-leaning court, Anthony Kennedy, was on the winning side both times. Kennedy joined the four more conservative justices on voting rights and he was with his liberal colleagues in the gay marriage case.

Just in that 24-hour span, the rulings demonstrated two truths about the court under the leadership of Chief Jus-

John Roberts

Anthony Kennedy

tice John Roberts.

The 58-year-old lawyer who cut his teeth in the Reagan administration put to rest any questions he may have raised about his conservative credentials a year earlier when he cast the deciding vote to uphold President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.

Roberts has shown himself to be a skillful judge who can get even ideologically differing colleagues to agree on narrow rulings that help form the basis for more definitive later judgments, as happened in the voting rights case.

The chief justice sees a benefit to the court as an institution and to his longer-term

goal of saying, “We could go farther here, but let’s wait and see,” said Kermit Roosevelt, a University of Pennsylvania law professor and former high court law clerk.

But Roberts can move the court no further to the right than Kennedy is willing to go.

Divisive civil rights cases dominated the high court’s work in the past nine months, including a challenge to affirmative action in higher education that ended in a compromise ruling.

The second gay marriage case, involving California’s constitutional ban on samesex marriage, also produced something of a compromise.

It ended in a technical, legal ruling that clears the way for same-sex unions in California, but said nothing about a constitutional right to marriage.

The justices also delivered important victories for

business in cases that limited class-action claims and lawsuits over international human rights abuses, allowed authorities to collect DNA from people they arrest, ruled that human genes cannot be patented and called into question agreements between pharmaceutical companies that delay the entry of cheaper generic drugs on the market.

The timing of the voting rights and gay marriage decisions was not planned, but was perhaps inevitable, because the court’s toughest cases typically are the last ones resolved before the justices take a long summer break.

Last Tuesday, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wondered what had happened to the court’s “usual restraint” in the voting rights case. On Wednesday, Justice Antonin Scalia said society’s debate about marriage should “be settled democratically rather than by judicial command.”

California’s Sierra Nevada a ‘living lab’ for climate change

By TRACIE CONE The Associated Press

An Egyptian protester holds an anti-President Mohammed Morsi poster and a red card with Arabic word “Leave” during a protest Saturday in Cairo, Egypt. Thousands of supporters and opponents of the embattled Islamist president held rival sit-ins in separate parts of Cairo on Saturday on the eve of opposition-led mass protests aimed at forcing Morsi from power.

Tensions rising ahead of planned protests in Egypt

By SARAH EL DEEB The Associated Press CAIRO – Organizers of a mass protest against Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi claimed Saturday that more than 22 million people have signed their petition demanding the Islamist leader step down, asserting the tally was a reflection of how much the public has turned against his rule.

The announcement adds to a sense of foreboding on the eve of opposition-led mass demonstrations many fear could turn deadly and quickly spin out of control, dragging the country into a dangerous round of political violence.

The demonstrations planned for Sunday reflect the growing polarization of the nation since Morsi took power, with the president and his Islamist allies in one camp and seculars, liberals, moderate

Muslims and Christians on the other.

There is a sense among opponents and supporters of Morsi that Sunday’s rally is a make or break day. The opposition feels empowered by the petition, known as Tamarod, or Rebel, but it offered no proof regarding the figures. If verified, it would mean that nearly double the number of people who voted for Morsi a year ago are now calling for him to step down.

“Honestly, if [Sunday] is not a game changer, we might all just pack up our bags and leave,” said Mahmoud Salem, a prominent blogger known by his blog’s name Sandmonkey and a vocal critic of the Muslim Brotherhood, from which Morsi hails.

While violence is likely in such a tense atmosphere, Salem said it would not play out in favor of Morsi supporters because they will be outnum-

bered.

“They have alienated everybody,” he said. Even if no violence breaks out, Salem said civil disobedience is expected in a movement designed now to “save the country.”

Morsi’s supporters, on the other hand, question the petitions, saying his opponents are led by members of the ousted regime of Hosni Mubarak who are trying to orchestrate a comeback and are instigating violence.

“Today and tomorrow will be the real birth of this nation,” said Hani Salaheddin, a presenter on the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated TV station Misr 25, predicting that Sunday will bring an end to the questioning of Morsi’s mandate.

“Tomorrow is the end of every corrupt person,” he said, as the slogan “legitimacy [of the ballot box] is a red line,” appeared on the screen.

SEQUOIA NATIONAL FOREST, Calif. – In parts of California’s Sierra Nevada, marshy meadows are going dry, wildflowers are blooming earlier and glaciers are melting into ice fields.

Scientists also are predicting the optimal temperature zone for giant sequoias will rise hundreds and hundreds of feet, leaving trees at risk of dying over the next 100 years.

As indicators point toward a warming climate, scientists across 4 million acres of federally protected land are noting changes affecting everything from the massive trees that can grow to more than two-dozen feet across to the tiny, hamsterlike pika.

But what the changes mean and whether humans should do anything to intervene are sources of disagreement among land managers.

“That’s the tricky part of the debate: If humans are causing warming, does that obligate us under the laws of the National Park Service to try to counteract those effects?” said Nate Stephenson, a research ecologist with the U.S. Geological Survey.

“How do you adapt to a changing climate if you’re a national park?” added Stephenson, who is 30 years into a study of trees in the largest wilderness in the continental U.S., Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Park.

Since 1895, the average temperature across California has increased by 1.7

degrees, and experts say the most visible effects of that warming occur within the Sierra Nevada, where low temperatures are rising and precipitation increasingly falls as rain rather than snow. Some models show noncoastal California warming by 2.7 degrees between 2000 and 2050, one of many reasons President Barack Obama pledged last week to use executive powers to cut carbon pollution.

The state’s two largest rivers – the Sacramento and San Joaquin – originate in the Sierra. The range also is home to Lake Tahoe, the largest alpine lake in North America; Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the Lower 48; and the nation’s only groves of giant sequoias, the largest living things on earth.

Victims often blame themselves for the assault Right to attorney does • ASSAULTS Continued from page A1 The first time Beck said her first assault occurred in January 2003, when she helped a fellow airman move from his house outside the Monterey, Calif., base. He was in the last occupied house in a subdivision of condemned homes. There wasn’t another person for miles.

When she emerged from the shower after the day’s work, Beck said the man poured gasoline on her and threatened to light her on fire if she didn’t comply with his commands. He called another man from the Air Force to the house, and the two took turns sexually assaulting the then20-year-old.

Beck was trapped, betrayed by men she trusted.

After 24 hours, the two drove Beck home.

Beck didn’t speak about the rape for years and did not report it to her superiors.

“That’s the military mindset,” said Kevin Russell, program manager at the McHenry County Veterans Resource Center. “That’s why a lot of military sexual assaults go unreported. You’re supposed to be strong. No vulnerabilities.”

A national, local problem The Defense Department found that 3,374 sex crimes were reported in the military during the 2012 fiscal year, up 6 percent from the year before. But a separate, anonymous survey found that more than 26,000 service members reported experiencing “unwanted sexual contact,” up from 19,000 in 2010.

At the McHenry County veterans assistance clinic, 30 percent of the 120 female veterans – and 1 percent of the 3,189 male veterans – screened at the McHenry-based facility in 2012 said they had experienced either a sexual assault or harassment.

Delia De Avila, military sexual trauma coordinator at Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in North Chicago, said those numbers are likely much higher because of underreporting.

A military sexual assault can be debilitating due to the close nature of combat relationships, De Avila said. And victims often blame themselves for it.

“It’s very similar to childhood abuse,” she said. “It often happens with someone you know and oftentimes respect. There’s a sense of being stuck or being trapped.”

Betrayed again In some ways, Beck had a typical military experience, traveling the world as she served her country. In 2002, she entered the Air Force as a Korean linguist in Monterey, Calif. She was transferred to McConnell Air Force Base in Kansas in 2006, spent a year in Greenland, and finished her career at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

In January 2006, an Air Force member in Beck’s squadron told her he wanted to come by her apartment and

“I can’t trust anybody, not even myself.

It was my own judgment. I’m the one who let him into my apartment. ... And I know I’m not supposed to blame myself, but I am the one that put myself in those situations.”

Lovell Health Care Center, 847-688-1900 • National Suicide Prevention Hotline, 800-273-8255 show her his recent vacation pictures. Beck declined, but he showed up anyway.

The man, heavily intoxicated, forced himself into her home and eventually onto her. Her two children from her first marriage were asleep in the next room. He threatened to hurt her kids if she didn’t do what he asked.

“I could have fought back, but I didn’t. I was worried about my kids,” she said. “I think that [assault] was the most traumatic one for me.

The other one was horrible.

But just the fact that my kids were there in the next room, 10 feet away from it, that was the hardest part.”

Alcohol and military culture Alcohol plays a major role in creating the culture of rape in the military, Beck said. There was a bar in her squadron, where airmen were forced to play drinking games, including drinking alcohol off the floor. At officially designated “nonalcohol” events, such as softball or volleyball, members spiked the Gatorade with vodka.

Beck found the prevalence of alcohol, combined with men outnumbering women in the military, created an environment of objectification.

In Greenland, for instance, she was one of eight women among 150 men at the base.

“We showed up and they were like, ‘Yes! New girls!’

And they offered to take our luggage for us and they took us out to the club that night.

I walk in and they are buying shots for me left and right.”

The man buying her the most drinks, she said, was the base commander.

“Being a woman in the military, you’re always the minority,” De Avila said. “They feel pressure to want to be

part of the team. You want to be able to make friends. Guys go out to drink, they invite you, you want to go. You go thinking these are your battle buddies. You don’t think they will rape you.”

Air Force spokeswoman Lt. Col. Laurel Tingley said that’s not the mindset the Air Force encourages. Airmen are expected to act responsibly in all situations, including in regard to alcohol use.

“I can tell you that is something we are looking at and are concerned about,” she said.

A McConnell Air Force Base spokesman declined to comment on Beck’s case, saying that the information was confidential.

‘It was still not enough’ Beck’s first rape went unreported. But with the second happening so close to her children, Beck wanted it to be punished.

She filed a restricted report, which allowed for a review of the evidence without making the accusations public. But when the man began stalking Beck, she filed an unrestricted report that meant a no-contact order against the man she said raped her – and made her accusation public.

Air Force special investigators cut out pieces of her carpet and ripped apart her couch, looking for evidence.

She was assigned a victim’s advocate and given a physical exam, which found severe internal tearing, which later required surgery.

Investigators asked Beck to call the offender, who admitted to the sexual encounter during the recorded conversation. A trial was held.

The man was cleared of all charges.

“They didn’t have enough proof that I said no,” Beck said. “He admitted to it. I had the severe tearing. I had all kinds of other issues, and it was still not enough.”

The no-contact order was dropped. The man was a plumber in the Air Force and saw Beck daily.

“He ended up getting promoted,” she said. “I was in charge of the ID office, and I had to make his new ID because they told me I was a professional and I needed to act like it.”

Justice unserved Only a fraction of those accused of sexual assault in the military are prosecuted.

In the 2011 fiscal year, there were 3,192 reports of military sexual assault, and 1,518 of those were reviewed for possible disciplinary action, according to the Defense Department.

Of those, 989 were disciplined. Just 48 were administratively discharged.

Critics, including members of Congress, say the process for dealing with military

sexual assault accusations needs to change. U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-New York, introduced legislation, which ultimately failed, that would have switched oversight of sexual assault cases from military commanders to outside legal professionals.

“The idea that [military commanders] are going to investigate this, and that higher-ups can control people, needs to be examined,” said Russell, of the county resource center. “There needs to be an outside, independent source to investigate.”

But at a June Senate committee hearing, leaders from every branch of the military opposed that change.

“Reducing command responsibility could adversely affect the ability of the commander to enforce professional standards and, ultimately, to accomplish the mission,” Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey told the committee.

Tingley said it would be inappropriate for her to comment on changing that process, as the issue is being debated. She noted that the Air Force opened a new sexual assault prevention office this month, with a goal of better analyzing cases and providing a “more expanded mission.” She could not elaborate on the office’s potential future effect because its details still are being developed.

Moving on After the trial in Kansas, Beck was transferred to Greenland. Within a week, she had fallen apart: She would ball up in a corner and threaten anyone who came near her.

After a year, she was sent to Edwards Air Force Base in California and diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. Doctors gave her a variety of antidepressants and tranquilizers. She was medically retired in June 2009.

Today, Beck works for TLS Veterans in McHenry. She’s studying to become a nurse, with hopes of working with victims of sexual assault. She helps at the mobile food bank and the homeless shelter, and has taken up painting.

Beck is in a better place now. But she often wakes up screaming. She is less trusting of everybody, including herself.

“It was my own judgment,” she said. “I’m the one who let him into my apartment. ...

And I know I’m not supposed to blame myself, but I am the one that put myself in those situations.”

So she runs every day, bringing with her the knife from her wall.

“I run for miles and miles and miles, and that’s how I cope with the PTSD. When I start to get too stressed out, I just go for a run until it’s all gone,” she said.

There are days she doesn’t want to get up, or when she cries on the way to work.

“I have my little ways of coping with it. I’ll give myself permission, ‘OK, you’re going to cry for 15 minutes, and you can cry and cry and cry, but after that 15 minutes is up, you’ve got to get up and you’ve got to move on.”

not extend to civil cases • HOUSE BILL Continued from page A1 which recognized that criminal defendants have the right to an attorney when they are unable to afford one. Known in legal circles simply as Gideon, the same right does not extend to civil cases.

Though the program outlined in HB3111 is limited – only one courthouse in each Appellate Court district would have a pilot program, and only in landlord-tenant cases – the executive director of the Access to Justice Commission said the measure would be a step in the right direction.

“We kind of take as a given that you don’t have a right to a lawyer in noncriminal cases,” Danielle Hirsch said. “[This is] a way to test what it would be like if you did have a meaningful lawyer on both sides. How would it change the process?”

But law experts say a fullblown civil Gideon is far off, and even more rare.

“The broad-based right to an attorney in civil matters if you’re impoverished, paid for at state’s expense, is highly impossible to imagine,”

said Marc Falkoff, associate professor at Northern Illinois University College of Law. Although he applauded the effort, he called the state’s courts “woefully underfunded.”

“It sounds great, but if we can’t keep up in the criminal context, I don’t know how we’re going to pay for it,” Falkoff said.

An additional $10 filing fee will be tacked onto civil court cases, pooled into an Access to Justice fund, then funneled back to pay for the pilot program.

Moving forward, a line would need to be drawn in the sand, Falkoff predicted.

“I don’t want to pay for someone’s divorce attorney, and I can’t imagine we’ll ever be able to do that,” he said.

HB3111 also creates a legal assistance hotline for veterans. But these are only part of the Access to Justice Commission’s overarching goal.

“It’s really a multifaceted approach,” Sullivan said.

It’s “trying to make sure everyone has access to justice – no matter what your educational background, financial abilities, or your abilities to communicate language.”

Although lawmakers agree there’s a problem, no agreement on solution • PENSION Continued from page A1 the shortfall, three major credit rating agencies have downgraded Illinois to the lowest credit rating of any state in the nation, and the annual pension payment has grown to about $6 billion – taking money away from areas such as education and public safety.

Yet legislators have been unable to agree on a solution. After ending their regular legislative session in May with the House and Senate at a stalemate over rival plans, lawmakers voted earlier this month to form a bipartisan committee to try to reach a compromise.

Quinn told the group they had until July 9 to come up with a deal, but several members have said that deadline is unrealistic, and the committee is not expected to meet it. Even if they do, an agreement would still have to get the approval of

both chambers of the Democrat-controlled Legislature.

The House has supported legislation backed by Speaker Michael Madigan that would cut retirement benefits across the board. The Senate prefers a plan sponsored by Senate President John Cullerton, and drafted in cooperation with labor unions, that gives workers and retirees a choice in benefits. Madigan said his plan would save the state more money, but Cullerton believes his legislation is the only one that would survive a legal challenge.

Meanwhile, the pension problem has become a political issue for Quinn, who has said he will run for re-election in 2014. In recent weeks four candidates have announced they want his job: state Treasurer Dan Rutherford, venture capitalist Bruce Rauner and state Sen. Bill Brady, all Republicans, and Democrat Bill Daley, the former White House chief of staff.

Karzai: Taliban attack won’t stop peace process

By DAVID RISING The Associated Press KABUL, Afghanistan – Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Saturday that his government is still willing to start talks with the Taliban, easing concerns that a brazen attack by the group on the presidential palace earlier this week would derail the country’s nascent peace process.

In a joint news conference in Kabul with visiting British Prime Minister David Cameron, he urged the militant group to return the negotiating table. He dismissed the attack as “peanuts” and said it would not deter his government from seeking peace.

The Taliban have indicated they are willing to open peace talks with the U.S. and the Afghanistan government and opened an office in Qatar a little more than a week ago for possible negotiations.

But at the same time they have not renounced violence and attacks have continued across Afghanistan.

Their ability to carry out well-planned and bold operations was driven home Tuesday when a SUV carrying four Taliban fighters managed to make it into a highly secured area by the gates of the palace. The four Taliban gunmen battled Afghan security forces for about an hour before being killed; a second vehicle in-

volved in the attack blew up at a checkpoint on the way into the area.

The brazen attack on the center of Karzai’s government raised concerns that the Afghan leader, who has a reputation for political posturing, might demand difficult concessions Hamid Karzai for talks. The peace process has already been delayed over a dispute over the flag and sign outside the Qatar office.

Karzai told reporters at a joint press conference with Cameron in Kabul that moving ahead with talks was the only

way to end nearly 12 years of war.

“The attack that was organized near the presidential palace will not deter us from seeking peace,” Karzai said.

“We’ve had them killing the Afghan people but still we ask for peace.”

Karzai downplayed the significance of the Taliban attack at the heart of the Afghan government, in which all eight militants and three security guards were killed.

“Comparatively speaking this was quite an irrelevant attack,” he said. “We’re more concerned when they attack Afghan civilians, we’re more concerned when they attack Afghan schools and children – I

wish they would spend all their time attacking the presidential palace and leave the rest of the country alone.”

The Taliban have refused to negotiate with Karzai’s government in the past, saying the U.S. holds effective control in Afghanistan, but the Americans are hoping to bring the two sides together. The U.S. has said it would meet first with the Taliban and to get the process going, and those preliminary talks would then be followed by negotiations between the Taliban and Afghan government.

In a nod to Karzai’s concerns that Afghanistan might be being squeezed out of the process, Cameron assured him

that “this peace process is for Afghanistan to determine, it must be Afghan-owned, Afghan-led.”

He, too, urged the Taliban to open talks.

“I believe a window of opportunity is open and I will urge all of those who renounce violence, who respect the constitution, who want to have a voice in the future prosperity of this country to seize that opportunity,” he said.

The possibility of talks at the new office in Doha got off to a rocky start, when the Taliban opened it under the name “Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan” and the flag it used while ruling Afghanistan before the 2001 U.S.-led invasion.

Syrian troops launch offensive on Homs

By BASSEM MROUE The Associated Press BEIRUT – Government troops launched a series of attacks in central Syria Saturday, striking with artillery, tanks and warplanes in a drive to capture rebel-held neighborhoods in the country’s third largest city of Homs, with activists said.

The army of President Bashar Assad has been on the offensive in Homs province in recent weeks, reclaiming some of the territory it has lost to the rebels since Syria’s crisis began 27 months ago.

The military, building on its capture of the strategic town of Qusair between the Lebanese border and Homs at the beginning of this month, has overrun a number of nearby villages. It also has hammered the center of the city, a rebel stronghold since the uprising against Assad began in March 2011.

Homs, a city of about 1 million, has shown great sympa-

A month after it started, protesters carried mattresses, food and water to the main Clock Square, hoping to emulate Cairo’s Tahrir Square, the epicenter of Egypt’s revolt that overthrew Hosni Mubarak.

Security forces quick-

ly raided the encampment, shooting at protesters and chasing them through the streets.

The onslaught only boosted the intensity of the protests, fueling a revolt that has posed the most serious challenge to date to the Assad family dynasty that has ruled Syria since 1970.

Demonstrator’s death protested in Turkey The ASSOCIATED PRESS ISTANBUL – Thousands of protesters returned to Istanbul’s Taksim Square on Saturday, demanding justice for a demonstrator slain by police fire during demonstrations that have swept Turkey this month. Police later forced the protesters out of the square, pushing them back using their shields.

In the capital, Ankara, police fired tear gas and pressurized water to break up a similar protest by a group of about 200 people, the Dogan news agency reported.

Turkey has been hit by a

wave of protests this month that were ignited by a brutal police crackdown on a peaceful environmental sit-in at a park near Taksim. The demonstrations soon turned into a wide outpouring of discontent with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government.

Four people – three demonstrators and one police officer – have been killed and thousands injured.

The demonstrations have largely subsided in recent days, but thousands converged back on the square on Saturday, angry over a court decision this week that re-

leased a police officer from custody pending his trial for the killing of a protester in Ankara.

The protesters also denounced the killing of a Kurdish demonstrator by paramilitary police in a mainly Kurdish town on Friday.

Police allowed protesters to chant slogans for some two hours before issuing a warning for them to disperse. They then moved in, pushing the crowd away from the square.

They arrested several people in the process, including some foreign nationals, the staterun Anadolu Agency reported.

Betrayed by battle buddies They are supposed to serve and protect each other, too.

But that’s not the picture emerging from the U.S. military when it comes to how its leaders deal with accusations of sexual assault.

The Pentagon estimates that more than a quarter of the approximately 200,000 women currently serving in the military will be sexually assaulted during their careers.

But only a fraction of assailants For the record will be prosecuted. In the 2011 The military has demonstratfiscal year, there ed it can’t handle prosecuting were 3,192 reports accusations of rape by one of of military sexual its own. assault; 1,518 were reviewed for possible disciplinary action, 989 were disciplined, and 48 were administratively discharged, according to the Defense Department.

Allegations of sexual assault must be made to a soldier’s commander, not an independent prosecutor. Advocates for change – including U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-New York, who introduced legislation that would have an outside prosecutor handle military rape cases – say victims fear reporting an assault to a commanding officer will lead to the loss of a job or damaged reputation.

Leaders from every branch of the military opposed the legislation, which was derailed.

“Reducing command responsibility could adversely affect the ability of the commander to enforce professional standards and, ultimately, to accomplish the mission,” Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey said earlier this month during a Senate committee hearing.

Those commanders have another mission too: making sure that their troops, who volunteer for the often dangerous job of keeping our country secure, are safe when among their fellow soldiers.

This past month has offered civilians a glimpse of the military’s culture when it comes to sexual assault. The lieutenant colonel who ran the Air Force’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office was charged with sexual assault, and the Army sergeant in charge of sexual assault prevention at Fort Hood came under investigation for the same thing.

Those are the high-profile cases. The statistics provided by the Pentagon don’t show the women and men behind those figures, or tell their stories.

Kati Beck, of Marengo, is one of those numbers. She said she was raped twice during her seven years in the Air Force. You can read more about her experiences in the front-page story of Sunday’s Northwest Herald and online.

She’s at a point where she wants to talk about her experience, so others in the same situation know they’re not alone.

Our country needs to show these men and women that they are not alone, and to stand behind those who put themselves on the line for all of us.

The military has demonstrated it can’t handle prosecuting accusations of rape by one of its own. It’s time to break the chain of command, and allow independent prosecutors handle military sexual assault cases.

Gone without a trace State Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka seems befuddled by the financial mess that’s Washington Park, but sadly this is business as usual in the village.

Washington Park hasn’t submitted the required financial reports to the comptroller’s office for seven years; it has never submitted a tax increment financing report. When Topinka sent an auditor to the village, he came back with nothing. Apparently there are no records at the Village Hall to audit. Treasurer Ricky Thomas said recent years were shredded.

Topinka has called in Attorney General Lisa Madigan.

Madigan probably doesn’t have the power to disband the village, but she ought to prosecute all village officials who were part of the reckless handling of the public’s money.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Time to act on pensions To the Editor: Let’s face it. Our lawmakers in Springfield have spent years trying to undo this pension problem, which is now almost $100 billion.

And what do we have? Two opposing bills that both fret over a possible constitutional challenge.

Time and energy are being wasted – $17 million a day to be exact.

I love Illinois, and I hate to see it go down. Two downgrades of our bonds in one week is nothing to be proud of.

If the state constitution is standing in the way of a solution, then it is time to consider amending the state constitution. (Yes, I’m using the A-word.) It is time. The lawmakers need to have room in which to make their bills to save the state. Changes to the state

pension need to be allowed to be made.

Proper limits could be worked into such an amendment. I would suggest only changes if the pension is over $80,000. Those under that limit would not have the changes made. A constitution should be a framework for laws – not an obstruction to survival. The time to act is now.

Too much pension focus To the Editor: While reading the newspaper, it seems like our representatives are spending a lot of time, energy and money on their retirement/pension benefits.

It is time to put this issue on hold.

Get down to the business of paying the state’s bills. Set up a workable budget, keep programs going that helps residents – Pioneer Center, veteran benefits, establishing new business to help the employment, jobs to lower the unemployment situation.

Stop taking money from the senior-citizen account and cutting

their budgets.

After we get our state into a better financial, workable government with the representatives doing their jobs, maybe we will be able to get back to their pension plan.

Meanwhile, maybe the politicians need to take a cut in their pay.

Seems everyone is a comedian these days WASHINGTON – When it comes to knock-knock jokes, it helps to be 5 years old: You can slap your head, roll your eyes, and run outside and play.

In a courtroom where the defendant is charged with seconddegree murder, a knock-knock joke has all the appeal of a bar of soap on the shower floor.

It is difficult to imagine how Don West, defense attorney in the trial of George Zimmerman, the man accused of killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, worked through the thought process that led him to slap his own forehead and say to himself: “Yes! A knock-knock joke is just the way to begin my argument. No, wait, wait! Even better and ridicule the people who will decide the fate of my client! ‘Colbert Report,’ here I come!”

Thus, when Zimmerman’s trial began Monday – in a courtroom where the parents of the victim were present – he offered a little joke: “Knock-knock. Who’s there?

George Zimmerman. George Zimmerman who? All right.

Good. You’re on the jury.”

No one cued the laugh track.

Lightning is funnier.

We know because he said so in a lengthy, disclaiming preamble that would have killed even a funny joke. Before launching into The Joke, he warned jurors that they might not think it’s funny under the circumstances.

He even asked forgiveness in advance just in case they found the joke inappropriate (his word) and to hold it against him, not his client.

Everyone is a comedian these days. Or at least everyone wants to be. Comedy, rather than providing relief from our too-serious times, has become the currency of choice. Indeed, as more and more people turn to Comedy Central for news, comedians have become among the most influential arbiters of current events.

Northwest Herald asked this same question on its Facebook page. At right are a couple of the responses.

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

(and then-CNN president Jon Klein soon after killed the show), the power of the comedian has surged past the serious commentators.

Who wants to be the straight man when the funny guys get all the girls?

Not that comedy isn’t commentary. But time and place are as important as the punch line.

When a comedian is funny, we never forget that he is primarily a comedian. When a defense attorney plays a comedian at a murder trial, our sense of verisimilitude is thrown off kilter.

Wrong character, wrong scene, wrong everything – especially the audience, which included the parents of the victim and the people whose sympathies West was trying to enjoin.

West sort of apologized for his lapse in judgment. He was sorry if anyone was offended, but he still thought it was funny.

Humor has a role in public life, obviously, and comedians make valuable contributions to our understanding by casting a light on our hypocrisies and self-righteousness. Nothing quite delivers a memento mori like a well-placed barb. But that barb best be sharp, and it better be

well-placed. West’s joke fell flat because it was neither.

Some variation of the knockknock joke seems to be as old as recorded humor, but it is humor in amoebic form – single-celled and juvenile. West’s joke didn’t even do what a knock-knock joke is supposed to do, which is to make a pun.

Not punny? Not knock-knock.

The only imaginable use for humor in a murder trial – and this is a stretch – would be spontaneous and self-deprecating, which rarely goes wrong. Insulting one’s potential allies, on the other hand, is an unforced error of conceivably catastrophic consequence. It’s bad enough to be the butt of a joke, but a joke that’s not funny?

The poor jurors in Zimmerman’s trial were told more or less that they’re so uninformed that they just might be stupid enough to buy the rest of his defense. Let’s hope West has better material in his briefcase or Zimmerman, should he be convicted, might have unique grounds for appeal: His lawyer couldn’t tell a joke.

Square patrols stepped up Woodstock police make proactive move against disturbances

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Police are beefing up enforcement on the Square in downtown Woodstock in hopes of deterring the disturbances that come with the warm weather.

Each year, the summer season brings with it a bump in police activity on the Square, from public intoxication to disorderly conduct.

The Woodstock Police Department is trying to get in front of the issue by boosting its presence.

“The Square is the gem of the city. They pride themselves on the Square,” Sgt. Chip Amati said. “But we have to make sure it’s a safe, happy place for people to show up.”

Police have made arrests recently for public consumption of alcohol, disorderly conduct, underage possession of tobacco and blocking public sidewalks, according to a news release from the Woodstock Police Department.

Enforcement efforts are focused on “disruptive behavior that takes away from the public’s enjoyment of

Amati said the extra enforcement would help ensure that those on the Square aren’t harassed by transients, the kids who make the park their

hangout or intoxicated people from any of the surrounding bars. He noted the added importance of extra enforcement during downtown events, such as the Woodstock Farmers Market.

He said the police department has taken similar measures in the past.

“We usually do that anyway in the summer,” Amati said. “We just like to let everyone know that we are out there.”

Woodstock police are urging anyone who sees an issue to report it to the department at 815-338-2131.

Weather no match for attendees at Woodstock’s Pickle Palooza CYNTHIA WOLF editorial@nwherald.com WOODSTOCK – Eleven-year-old Lillie Simons walked off with two shiny gold trophies Saturday after twice burying her face in whip cream and demonstrating her pickle chip-finding prowess.

So what that each trophy fit in the

palm of her hand? It was all about the bragging rights.

Lillie was at Pickle Palooza at the Woodstock Harley-Davidson grounds Saturday with her sister Maggie, 10.

The Marengo residents were with their cousins Ava, Cooper and Tanner and aunt Laura Simons, who was visiting from Chicago for the day.

“We’re fans of pickles,” said Ginny

Simons, mother to Ava, Cooper and Tanner.

The second annual event was coordinated by the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by Claussen Pickle Co. of Woodstock.

This year’s event honored veterans and benefitted the Woodstock VFW, said Kathryn Loprino, chamber president and owner of the Woodstock

Public House.

The event featured fun family events such as find-the-pickle and toss-the-pickle contests. The National Guard ran a football toss. Free pickles were offered, and live music was featured throughout the day and into the night.

Officials give tips to safely enjoy fireworks

By KATIE FINLON kfinlon@shawmedia.com Fireworks and Fourth of July festivities may come and go, but some resulting injuries are forever.

Local and state officials urge McHenry County residents to take safety precautions during the Fourth of July holiday

weekend, particularly when operating fireworks.

Cary Fire Lt. Michael Douglass reminds the public to be aware of the risks of using fireworks and to never try to move a firework that didn’t fire. Even sparklers burn at 1,200 degrees, which is hot enough to melt metal, Douglass said.

“Leave the fireworks to the profession-

als,” Douglass said. “They’re trained to do it, and usually the fire departments are going to be there on standby in case something happens.”

Marengo Fire Lt. Noel Gaines said there weren’t any firework-related injuries reported last year.

Historical society gets closer to preserving 1930s schoolhouse

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com UNION – The McHenry County Historical Society is close to protecting one of the last remaining one-room schoolhouses in McHenry County from bulldozers and demolition crews.

Kurt Begalka, the historical society’s administrator, has petitioned the McHenry County Historic Preservation Commission to grant landmark status to the 1930s-era schoolhouse near

the intersection of Route 20 and Harmony Road in Coral Township.

The commission is scheduled to vote on designating the building at its July 17 meeting, Begalka said. The commission’s approval would prevent a developer from demolishing the historic schoolhouse, which still has many of its original features intact.

“This is a nice precursor, but it’s not a guarantee,” Begalka said. “We need the state to get involved and step up. ... [Developers]

can’t be going in there and tear the building down, but the Illinois Department of Transportation, however, can.”

A county historic designation carries no weight at the state level. That poses a problem for the society, since the state transportation department still has plans to upgrade the intersection at Harmony and Route 20, which would make the schoolhouse a casualty.

8LOCAL BRIEF

Rain slows local construction work

By KEVIN CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com • READ ALL ABOUT IT: You can sign up at NWHerald. com/newsletter to get a weekly email update on road projects throughout construction season. You also can find updates online at NWHerald.com/construction.

• CHARLES MILLER ROAD: No construction work will occur Thursday, and the bridge work expected to take place Friday will not affect traffic.

The work is part of an ongoing project to create another two-lane span over the Fox River, and widen Miller Road to four lanes with dedicated turn lanes from Route 31 to River

Road.

The first phase, which consists primarily of building the new span and improving the intersection of Miller and River roads, will cost about $12 million and is anticipated to be finished by the end of October, weather permitting.

• FLEMING ROAD: Rain delayed most of the work planned for this past week to rebuild the 2½-mile stretch of road between Route 120 and Country Club Road. The July 4 holiday will put a stop to work starting 3 p.m. Wednesday until Monday morning.

The final asphalt surface is expected to be paved the second week of July.

A posted detour reroutes drivers through Woodstock along Routes 120, 47 and 14.

• WESTERN BYPASS: Watch for workers and delays as workers continue a $33 million project to build a 2-mile, four-lane highway west of downtown Algonquin to relieve congestion on Route 31.

Algonquin Road between Main Street and Meyer Drive will be down to one lane in each direction through this fall. Watch for lane closures on Route 31/ Main Street. South Main Street has one lane closed between Edgewood and Huntington drives, and North Main Street has one lane closed between Cary-Algonquin Road and Linden Avenue.

Huntington Drive will remain closed between Circle Drive and South Main Street through summer

2014. A detour to Edgewood Drive is posted.

• INTERSTATE 90 AND ROUTE 47: Be prepared for slower traffic along Route 47 as work continues to create a full interchange.

The completion date for the $69 million project has been pushed back to November.

• SPEAKING OF HUNTLEY: Work is tentatively scheduled to start July 8 on the extension of Kreutzer Road west from Route 47 to Main Street, Village Clerk Rita McMahon said.

Although road closures aren’t expected immediately, access might be limited at times, she said.

• JOHNSBURG ROAD: Only westbound traffic is allowed to travel along the road from Chapel Hill Road to

R Village rehires another officer L

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN

ISLAND LAKE – Village Board members Thursday reinstated police officer Billy Dickerson, their second addition this month of an officer gone from the staff since 2010.

The board voted 4-3 to rehire Dickerson after he was “dismissed improperly” three years ago, Island Lake Mayor Charles Amrich said. Amrich provided the tie-breaking vote.

The board rehired Wayne Schnell earlier this month.

Rain slowed construction along Johnsburg Road this past week, and work will be shortened this week to accommodate the holiday.

that weren’t proper,” Amrich said. “We’re just trying to right some wrongs. That’s all we’re doing.”

Both Dickerson and Schnell have a political tie to Amrich. Schnell managed the campaign of the For the People slate, under which Amrich ran this spring when he defeated incumbent Debbie Herrmann.

Dickerson also campaigned for Amrich.

Amrich said he wasn’t concerned with how either move looks to the residents of the village, which is split between McHenry and Lake counties.

Reached by phone Satur-

day, he wasn’t able to provide Dickerson’s salary.

“I’m sure it’s comparable to what he was making when he left,” Amrich said.

The board had a vote to reinstate Dickerson on the agenda June 13, the night Schnell was rehired. But officials delayed the decision to “get some clarification from the union, and make sure we had everything right,” Amrich said.

Both police officers left the staff under Herrmann and then-police chief William McCorkle, who resigned the day Amrich took office.

McCorkle was replaced by Police Chief Don Bero.

“Why replace an older, but still working, AC System?”

Many homeowners believe that an air conditioner should only be replaced when it no longer functions. Statistically, most systems are replaced for the following reasons: 1. EFFICIENCY – Replacing a 10-15 year old system can save up to 50% of electric consumption. Energy Star-rated units have S.E.E.R. ratings up to 20 + ( compared to older units with 8-10 S.E.E.R)

2. REBATES – Utility companies and the manufacturers are offering rebates on high efficiency equipment. The dollar amount varies from several hundred dollars to $2500 +.

3. FREQUENT REPAIRS – If your system has consistent service problems, you should consider replacement. Applying service call costs towards new equipment will help to offset the cost.

4. COMFORT – Many older units were not sized properly for your home. A “load calculation” of your home will determine the proper size of equipment. This will maximize your comfort.

If you plan on staying in your home for a few years, then upgrading to high efficiency equipment will not only reduce your utility bills, but also give you the piece of mind of not having any repair bills.

IDOT wants construction to begin by middle of 2014 • SCHOOLHOUSE Continued from page B1 IDOT officials unveiled a plan last September that would have created a traffic circle at the intersection, which officials said is one of the most dangerous in the state. Officials indicated at the time the society would either have to move the schoolhouse or risk it being demolished.

Uncommon to the Midwest, the traffic circle design irked residents in Coral Township and nearby Union, who argued that the department was moving too fast with its intersection plans.

The department consequently postponed its plan to gauge whether a traditional, four-way traffic signal would work. But Peter Harmet, District 1 bureau chief of programming, said IDOT since has decided a traffic circle is a safer and cheaper alternative.

“The roundabout is going to be the best fit for addressing the problem,” Harmet said. “There has been significant safety problems at this location.”

Harmet said the depart-

ment recently completed final designs for the traffic circle.

Officials also have started acquiring rights-of-way around the intersection, but Harmet wouldn’t say whether the schoolhouse had yet fallen into the department’s possession.

IDOT hopes construction will begin by mid-2014, he said.

The timetable leaves the society with a deadline to have the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency grant landmark status for the Harmony Road schoolhouse.

Begalka said he submitted a request to the state agency nearly a month ago and is awaiting word on when officials could make a decision.

He said the county preservation commission likely will make a landmark of the schoolhouse, after commissioners earlier this month designated a grove of bur oak trees located on the same parcel. The trees are between 200 and 250 years old.

“What [the county] designation does is it sets the stage for the state historic preservation agency to get involved and landmark it,” Begalka said. “That would be the teeth.”

2012 Illinois firework injury statistics • Adults who were 22 and older were the highest injured percentage and represent 50 percent of last year’s fireworks injuries.

Those 11 to 16 years old represent 17 percent.

• Fingers and hands were the most affected body parts, at 37 percent of fireworks injuries. Eyes were second at 15 percent of fireworks injuries, and the head/ face were third at 12 percent of

fireworks injuries.

Safety tips • Wear safety glasses when using fireworks and sparklers.

• Never use or play with any type of firework near a vehicle.

• Be aware of where you point fireworks and where they will land.

• Do not consume alcohol when using fireworks.

Source: Public Information Officer Aimee Knop,

Illinois Poison Center safety tips • The most common calls to the IPC during the Fourth of July include glow sticks, fireworks, tiki torch lamp oil or lighter fluid and food poisoning. The nitrates or chlorates from fireworks can impair the body’s ability to carry oxygen in the blood, and hydrocarbons from torch lamp oil or lighter fluid can cause lung problems if

you breathe them in.

• Always keep flammables, including torch lamp oil, lighter fluid and fireworks, in their original containers and out of children’s reach.

• Call the IPC at 800-222-122 about specific product exposure recommendations.

Males suffer majority of injuries from fireworks • FIREWORKS Continued from page B1 He said it’s the parents the department needs to worry about – even kids tell their parents to be safe while operating fireworks.

“Something we’re doing is working, which is a good thing,” Gaines said.

According to the Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal, 115 people were in-

jured by fireworks last year – 88 were male and 27 were female. First- and second-degree burns were the leading type of fireworks injury at 51 percent.

Registered nurse Karen Battaglia, trauma coordinator at Centegra’s McHenry campus, said the trauma center has witnessed significant injuries in the past few years, and she tries to remind the staff to be vigilant about spreading the word about

fireworks safety.

“Respect the stuff you’re working with,” Battaglia said.

“If you don’t know how to work with it, don’t play with it. Sparklers burn at 1,200 degrees, and we bake cookies at 350 degrees; people don’t think about these things.”

The Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal reminds the public it is illegal to buy, use or possess commercial fireworks without a consumer display permit from local

authorities, according to a news release. It also said sky lanterns are now on the list of illegal fireworks in Illinois.

The use or explosion of fireworks in Illinois is a Class B misdemeanor; the maximum penalty is six months in jail and a $1,500 fine. According to the National Fire Protection Association, two out of five fires reported in U.S. during Fourth of July celebrations are caused by fireworks.

Veteran enjoys music at Woodstock pickle festival • PICKLES Continued from page B1 A tribute to veterans took place about 6:45 p.m.

A U.S. Navy veteran and incoming vice commander for the Lake in the Hills American Legion, Evan Breyn of Crystal Lake said he appreciated the event’s focus on helping vets. It also was just plain fun, he said.

“The music has been exceptional,” said Breyn, 45. “And Woodstock Harley has been a most gracious host.”

Breyn was there, too, as part of a motorcycle club selling raffle tickets to benefit a Marengo family whose 5-yearold son is battling leukemia.

The group set up a booth not far from the stage.

“I think it’s great,” Breyn

said of Pickle Palooza. “I just wish more people would have been aware of it and come out.”

Loprino and Chamber Executive Director Shari Gray said the day’s cloudy weather likely hindered turnout. Organizers had hoped to draw 800 to the festival Saturday. Still, those in attendance appeared to be enjoying themselves, including a group of young women posing for pictures with pickle mascots Hunter Loprino, 12, and his friend Cole Curtis, 13, of Huntley.

The Simons family said they definitely had fun, although Ava Simons, 11, said she might have enjoyed too much of a good thing.

“I’m all pickled out,” she said. “They’re so good. But I’m sorry, I’ve had like 20 pickles today.”

Is small ball strategy still vital?

VIEWS Meghan Montemmuro he White Sox desperately needed a run in the bottom of the 10th.

They cleared their first hurdle June 6 against Oakland in getting a man on base when leadoff hitter Alejandro De Aza singled to right field off Grant Balfour. Trailing 5-4, Alexei Ramirez dug in at the plate, having already driven in two runs.

The Sox, with Mark Parent acting as manager, decided sacrificing an out with the heart of the lineup due up was the best choice.

Although Ramirez managed to lay down a bunt to advance De Aza to second, the move didn’t pay off.

Alex Rios grounded out and Adam Dunn flew out to end the game, dropping the Sox eight games under .500. Ramirez’s sac bunt was the Sox’s fifth of six this season, which are the fewest in Major League Baseball. Some people within the game argue that’s a good thing.

Utilizing small ball strategy is a concept many believe is still a vital tool in winning games. Small ball is a combination of getting on base by any means and manufacturing runs without having to hit home runs.

But as sabermetrics take on an increasing importance in analyzing statistics and evaluating in-game situations, the differing philosophies of deliberately giving up outs to try to score a run has created two factions. “[Small ball] is always going to have a place in the game,” Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said.

“There’s been more emphasis in the last 10, 20 years about not giving up outs, but I think it helps challenge a defense.”

T

SACRIFICING OUTS The most scrutinized small ball component, sacrifice bunting, often is used to put pressure on the defense and help manufacture runs or, in the National League, as a way to advance runners when the pitcher is batting.

“If you actually study sacrifice bunting when you factor in what actually happens when you try to bunt, the fact that the defense can misplay the ball, the bunt is actually a good play more often than people think,” Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said. “If you have a poor defensive [infield-

er], it’s actually a better percentage play than you would think despite looking at run scoring expectancy tables.”

Sabermetrics doesn’t mix well with the concept of sacrifice bunting because a team is giving up one of 27 potential outs in a game to hypothetically score one run. NL teams have executed more than double the number of sacrifice hits (454) than AL teams (226) this season.

“I still think the game is built around execution, and execution with every aspect of it, including the so-called little things,” Dodgers GM Ned Colletti said. “Without that, you better be really good.”

Based on data analyzing previous seasons, ESPN’s Keith Law, who used to write for Baseball Prospectus and was an assistant to the GM with the Blue Jays, suggests too often teams give away an out for

the prospect of scoring just one run instead of trying to score one-plus runs in an inning and put up a crooked number. In most situations, the outcome isn’t worth surrendering an out.

“We have way too much data that says this is bad, this is not how you run an offense,” Law said. “We have many managers often considered successful in the majors who still employ these strategies way more often than they should.”

One of the more outspoken opponents of using sabermetrics to evaluate players and in-game situations has been White Sox TV broadcaster and former general manager Ken “Hawk” Harrelson. In April, Harrelson came up with the phrase “the win to win” to refer to attributes that can’t be measured by metrics and ultimately the desire to win. During that April TV segment

with MLB Network, Harrleson said sabermetrics has caused mangers and GMs to get fired for relying on them too much.

“TWTW is going to supersede anything sabermetrics brings in,” Harrelson said on MLB Network. “ ... Numbers are the most overrated thing in baseball.”

HOME BALLPARK MATTERS The post-Steroid Era still is producing some of the best offensive numbers in baseball history, and home runs remain firmly entrenched as the most efficient way to score runs.

But that isn’t the case for every organization, depending on its payroll, which can limit the money it can spend on a top-tier power hitter, and its home ballpark. While a team’s payroll has the ability to be

restricted based on what market it is located in, ballpark adjustments have become a way to help an offense.

San Diego’s offensive futility was a factor in the organization’s decision to move in the fences at Petco Park. The Padres moved in the outfield walls 11 to 12 feet before the season, with the biggest adjustment coming in center field (402 feet decreased to 390 feet).

The dimension changes have begun to pay off. Although the Padres ranked 29th in home runs at home last season with 47 (0.58 a game), through their first 43 home games, they have hit 36 homers (.83 a game). The Padres are on pace to easily hit more homers at Petco Park in 2013 than last season.

McHENRY COUNTY SENIOR AMATEUR: DAY ONE

CUBS 5, MARINERS 3 (11 INN.)

Schwartz takes lead at Pinecrest

Soriano’s homer lifts Cubs over Mariners

By PATRICK MASON

Dave Schwartz reacts after teeing off on the fourth hole during the McHenry County Senior Amateur tournament Saturday at Pinecrest Golf Club in Huntley.

This year’s event is played without separate divisions based on age. The event is now flighted according to handicaps.

pmason@shawmedia.com

Kyle Grillot – kgrillot@shawmedia.com

HUNTLEY – As the first round of the McHenry County Senior Amateur tournament at Pinecrest Golf Club came to a close, Marengo resident Dave Schwartz found himself with a two-stroke lead.

Schwartz, playing in the championship flight, shot a 4-over-par 76, which was good for the early lead. Heavy rains and low-hanging rain clouds caused for tough conditions in the morning and the course soaked up the heavy rains, which made for tougher play before the skies cleared up. Holes 10 though 18 were especially wet and gave some golfers fits, but that is where Schwartz thrived.

He recorded three birdies on the final nine holes, which helped separate him from the rest of the pack.

“Having those 3s on the card sure helped,” he said. “I’ll take a two-stroke lead.”

Tony Miranda is second in the championship flight with a 78 while Don Langland (79) and

Dave Schacherer (79) rounded out the top three scores. The four will be in the same foursome during Sunday’s final round and will tee off at 12:06 p.m.

Eric Mayer, who shot an 81, was paired with Miranda during Saturday’s round and marveled at his skill. The two never had met before but became quite fond of each other’s ability on the course.

“He has a really nice game,” Mayer said of Miranda. “He’s real smooth and I like the way he plays.”

Mayer will tee off just before the top group at 11:58 a.m.

The rounds took a little more than 5½ hours and slow play took its toll on many golfers. The tournament began at 10 a.m., but other golfers began play earlier in the day, which slowed up the tournament. Director Mike Yackle wished it could have moved a long faster but added that it wasn’t that big of a deal, saying, “That’s just life sometimes.”

Next for the Cubs

SEATTLE – Alfonso Soriano hit a two-run homer in the 11th inning to lift the Cubs to a 5-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Saturday.

Nate Schierholtz opened the 11th with a drag bunt off Oliver Perez (2-2). Soriano then connected on a 1-2 pitch over the center-field wall, his ninth.

That ended a 14-game scoreless streak for Perez.

The Mariners had tied the game with two outs in the ninth. Pinch-hitter Henry Blanco earned a oneout walk off Kevin Gregg to start the rally. Michael Saunders ran for him. Nick Franklin moved Saunders to second with a right-side groundout.

Endy Chavez, on a 0-for19 slide entering his at-bat, sliced a single into shallow center, scoring Saunders

at Seattle, 3:10 p.m. Sunday, CSN, AM-720 with the tying run.

Gregg had been a perfect 13 for 13 in save opportunities this season. His last blown save was Sept. 10, 2011, while with Baltimore at Toronto.

Carlos Villanueva (2-4) earned the win with one inning of relief. Blake Parker finished the 11th for his first career save. He had been the losing pitcher in Friday’s 5-4 loss in 10 innings.

Cubs starter Jeff Samardzija allowed six hits and two runs over his seven innings. He struck out five and walked three.

T

he Blackhawks celebrated their fifth Stanley Cup championship with a jubilant parade that ended with a rally in Grant Park. Sports writers Tom Musick and Jeff Arnold discuss:

Musick: What a team. What a season. What a parade. I wasn’t here when the Bulls enjoyed all of their Grant Park rallies, but I’ve got to say that the Hawks know how to draw a crowd. What jumped out to you most about the Hawks’ big celebration?

Arnold: Besides Corey Crawford’s speech that was sponsored by the letter ‘F’? It was my first championship parade, and the way the city has embraced this team and did again by showing up in droves on Friday really stuck out. There’s been a really strong connection between Chicago and the Hawks all season. I’m glad I saw you on the train coming downtown, because otherwise I would have lost you somewhere in the mass of 2 million folks. Quite a scene, huh?

Musick: Absolutely. I thought the train ride would be more crowded, but once we arrived to Washington Street, I realized that the bulk of the crowd already had showed up to stake its place along the parade route. What did you think of Crawford’s R-rated speech? I know team president John McDonough and the Hawks like to market themselves as the team you’d want to introduce to your mother. Do you think the foul-mouthed goaltender got called into the principal’s office?

Arnold: I think Crawford had a little liquid assistance if you know what I mean and perhaps there was a bit of wrist-slap, but probably nothing more. I’m not easily offended and, honestly, I expected that kind of speech from Patrick “That’s hockey, baby” Kane. But everyone at Grant Park seemed to love it and the players got a kick out of it. I’m sure there were some parents who wished their kids hadn’t heard his made-for-HBO speech, but I also saw multiple media sites call it “epic.”

If the Hawks do celebrate next year, who’s not part of the party in your mind?

Musick: Good question. I definitely think unrestricted free-agent Viktor Stalberg will be elsewhere, scoring more goals and winning fewer games. Another team also will give unrestricted free-agent Ray Emery more money and more starts in net. And if the Hawks are serious about re-signing Bryan Bickell, it might mean that they have to trade a guy like Dave Bolland, even though he happened to score the goal that clinched the Stanley Cup. Arnold: I think Bickell provides the Hawks with a top-line player who certainly has established some chemistry with Kane and Jonathan Toews. If the Hawks are serious about building that over-used dynasty tag everyone on talk radio has been throwing around for the past six days, I think they’ve got to make a push to keep him. I think Emery is a no-brainer and Stalberg certainly won’t be sad to leave Joel Quenneville’s dog house. But right now, there’s so much to like with the prospects of all they have coming back.

Musick: Exactly. As you wrote this season, highly touted forward Jeremy Morin is eager for a piece of the action. So is Jimmy Hayes. So is Ben Smith. So is puck-moving defenseman Adam Clendening. All of which brings me to my next question: Which Chicago sports team hosts the next parade? Could it be Marc Trestman’s Bears?

Tom Thibodeau’s Bulls? One of the city’s two baseball teams whose names I have forgotten?

Maybe I’m wrong, but I’d say the Hawks host their third consecutive parade before any of those other teams march to Grant Park.

Arnold: To quote Crawford, ‘(Bleeping) right,’ Tom. I think the Bears are at least 1 or 2 years away from contending, I think the Bulls are at least that (or more if Derrick Rose keeps fans on this emotional I’ll-play-when-I’m-ready roller coaster) and the Cubs and Sox? Their best shot at a parade is stowing away on one of the Hawks double-decker buses. So I hope fans got their fill of championship parades Friday because as far as titles go, this town now belongs to the Hawks.

Musick: I can’t argue with that. See you on the train.

Crystal Lake resident Alex Quigley is the assistant program director and co-host of Chicago Now Radio on WGN Radio 720 AM. WGN Radio is the flagship station for the Blackhawks, whose run to their second Stanley Cup championship in four seasons has dominated the discussion around Chicago for weeks now, making for good business for folks such as Quigley.

With our role being the home for all the (Hawks) games, we do take a little more ownership of it than other media outlets. Basically, we’re the home for it.

I think we live and die with the team a little more than most. That may not be good journalism, but this is sports entertainment. I’m not asking the hard-hitting questions, I’m reporting what’s happening or discussing with fans what’s happened or what’s going to happen. The speculation part has been fun, but I think most people – ever since that 24-game streak or after 15, 16 or 17 games, starting thinking, ‘Boy, this team, it would be disappointing if they don’t want the Stanley Cup at this point.

But hockey – of the four major sports – is the one where people are the most superstitious about counting their chickens before they’re hatched or counting their Cups before they’re clinched.

So a lot of times, we had to be a little more careful because our audience would snap us back and say, “Hey – we ain’t done nothing yet.”

It’s been amazing to watch even the difference between this run and the 2010 run. The 2010 run really primed the fan base and re-introduced hockey to the casual fan. I think this year, the casual fan was ready this year and I think what happened was that those casual fans converted into ardent, more hardcore fans and the hardcore fans became completely obsessed. And the completely obsessed fans, uh, they lost their jobs, because they watching 24/7. OK. Not really, But I think [the run] elevated the level of engagement along every rung of the ladder of fandom. You have the playoff beard phenomenon where over the last couple of weeks where, I’m clean-shaven now, but you could look at a guy and you’d give each other the silent head nod because you knew what was going on. It was cool to see.

We pride ourselves on having hosts that know Chicago. You don’t have to talk about sausage or Ditka all the time, but we really do respect our own.

If we’re not the No. 1 talk (radio) market in the country, we’re absolutely in the top 3 and I think that has something to do with being a Chicagoan.

When I say Chicagoan – us living out in McHenry County – we pretty much identify ourselves as a Chicagoan, We don’t get the four-star flag tattoo on our armband and we don’t talk about, ‘Going over there by the Jewel,’ – but certainly, we identify with the city. There aren’t may cities like that and we have a huge area, but Chicagoland – thank you Col. McCormick for that – but that’s really what we are. But us, out in McHenry (County), we kind of get the best of both worlds. I can drive for 15 minutes and I’m back in the cornfields of my youth, but yet, I pretty much get all the benefits of living in in a great metropolitan area.

Crystal Lake resident Alex Quigley considers himself having the best of both worlds, living in McHenry County, but working in Chicago, a talk radio market he considers one of the best in the country.

Saturday at the funeral of a semi-pro football player whose killing led to murder and weapons charges against former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez.

The body of Odin Lloyd was found June 17 near Hernandez’s home. Police arrested Hernandez on Wednesday and charged him with orchestrating the execution-style shooting.

Colts safety Lefeged arrested on gun charge WASHINGTON – Indianapolis Colts safety Joe Lefeged was arrested early Saturday after officers found a semi-auto-

matic pistol in the car he was riding in, police said.

Lefeged was a front-seat passenger in a Chevy Camaro that fled a traffic stop for speeding in northeast Washington just after midnight.

Officers smelled marijuana in the car and found a plastic bottle of vodka and orange juice in the center console and a semi-automatic pistol under the front passenger seat,

police documents show. A receipt and purchase paperwork showed Lefeged bought the gun this year for about $900, police said.

Lefeged and another passenger were caught when they tried to run from the car in different directions, police said. The driver ran away and was not immediately caught.

CHICAGO – The past week is one White Sox outfielder Dayan Viciedo wants to forget.

Repeated on-field miscues are only part of a season that has been largely forgettable for Viciedo. In what was supposed to be a standout season for Viciedo, coming off a breakout 2012 campaign, which featured him hitting .255 with 25 home runs and 78 RBIs in 147 games, has instead turned nightmarish.

“You’re trying to help him on his way, but it is tough,” Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “It’s very tough for a young guy to go through struggles, similar to what Gordon (Beckham) had last year. It’s not easy. In the end, when you make it through, you’re a tougher player and better player the rest of your career for having gone through it.”

Viciedo, 24, owned a .227 average entering Saturday’s game against the Cleveland Indians with only five home runs and 22 RBIs in 56 games. Viciedo is expected to be the Sox’s No. 3 or 4 hitter of the future, potentially as soon as next season.

His potential was on full display last season. But his lack of patience at the plate and the propensity to swing for the fences far too often is preventing Viciedo from taking the next step in his development.

“It’s one of the hardest moments I’ve had to go through,” Viciedo said through a translator. “I’ve hit this slump. I can’t think of any better way to get out of it than to just work through it.”

Nothing frustrates Ventura more than mental mistakes, and Viciedo found himself in the doghouse after another boneheaded play. During Game 1 of Friday’s doubleheader, a 1910 loss to the Indians, Viciedo easily was thrown out heading home to end the eighth inning after ignoring third base coach Joe McEwing’s stop sign.

To cap it off, Viciedo was running half-heartedly when trying to score.

Viciedo explained Saturday that he didn’t anticipate Cleveland throwing home on the play, thus easing up after rounding third. Ventura immediately removed Viciedo from the game after the gaffe.

“It’s just one of those (plays where) you run hard,” Ventura said.

“If it’s in play, you run as hard as you can. There are very few times in

White Sox left fielder Dayan Viciedo makes a catch on a ball hit by Cleveland Indians batter Asdrubal Cabrera in the first inning of Saturday’s game at U.S. Cellular Field.

INSIDE THE WHITE SOX Meghan Montemurro the game where not running hard – if you walk, I don’t expect you to sprint down there – but other than that, if it’s in play, you gotta give [McEwing] a chance to send you.”

The wakeup immediately paid off in Viciedo’s return to left field. He aggressively charged in on a fly ball hit by Cleveland’s Asdrubal Cabrera, the second batter of Saturday’s game, which was traveling toward the leftfield line. Viciedo timed it perfectly to make a diving catch. Viciedo added another diving catch to end the third, robbing Michael Bourn of a hit.

“It’s absolutely difficult,” Viciedo said. “You don’t want to call it depressing, but it’s a hard time. We have to keep working. We have to keep plugging away. We have to answer for what we’re doing out there.”

Ventura didn’t rule out sending Viciedo to the minors so he can get back on track, but that option is a long shot at this point. However, if the Sox have any hope of turning around their season, Viciedo is one of the first on the team who must start contributing. Otherwise, Ventura and the Sox might have to legitimately consider demoting him in attempt to turn around a career that is heading in the wrong direction.

“You see the potential for him to be able to make it through and be a very good player,” Ventura said.

“Right now, I don’t necessarily see that. But any time you’re dealing with what [Viciedo’s] going through, it’s there for pretty much anybody.”

Castro hits home run in Cubs’ extra-inning win • CUBS Continued from page C1 Aaron Harang worked eight innings for the Mariners, allowing three runs on five hits. In three starts against NL teams this season, Harang is 1-2 with a 1.96 ERA. By contrast, he is 2-6 with a 6.52 ERA in starts against

AL teams.

Starlin Castro also had a home run for the Cubs and Justin Smoak hit one for the Mariners.

Mariners center fielder Dustin Ackley had to leave the game in the ninth after a diving attempt of a flyball by Soriano. He was diagnosed with sprained left thumb and received

precautionary X-rays.

Jason Bay, who had entered as a pinch runner in the eighth, moved to center as the Mariners, hampered with injuries, used up all their bench players and were forced to give up their designated hitter. Left-hander Joe Saunders had to hit in the game’s final at-bat. He flied out to center.

CHICAGO – Jesse Crain allowed his first earned run since April, and it came at an unfortunate time for the White Sox. Nick Swisher singled in the tiebreaking run in the eighth inning off Crain, and the Cleveland Indians beat the Sox for the third time in less than 24 hours, 4-3, on Saturday.

Swisher’s homer in the ninth inning Friday night helped Cleveland secure a sweep of a marathon doubleheader Friday night.

This time, Cabrera, Jason Kipnis and Swisher hit consecutive one-out singles Next off Crain (2-3) in the eighth. Crain allowed vs. Cleveland, 1:10 p.m. his first earned run Sunday, since April 12, a span of 31 outings before WGN, AM-670 Saturday.

“It’s one of those he’s always going to come in, kind of the toughest situations,” Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “That eighth inning’s just one of those, depending on where that lineup is, it’s usually a nasty situation. It’s impressive just kind of the run he’s been on.”

Things haven’t been as impressive for the Sox, who scored 18 runs in two games Friday but still lost both. Saturday was their 12th loss in 16 games.

They fell to 12-18 in one-run games, lost for the 25th time after leading, and dropped their fourth in a row at home to fall to a season-high 14 games below .500.

On Saturday, starter Dylan Axelrod held Cleveland to three runs and five hits over six innings, but allowed Jason Kipnis’ tying two-run homer in the sixth.

“Maybe the difference in the game,” Axelrod said of the homer.

“We’ve lost a lot of close games,” Axelrod said. “I think, three runs or less, kind of games we’ve been in. It’s been real close to being, who knows, we could be the other way around if the little breaks were going our way.”

Kipnis, who’s from Northbrook, continued to torment the Sox. During the first three games of the series, Kipnis is 6 for 10 with six RBIs and six walks, and undid an otherwise solid day from Axelrod, who kept in check a team that scored 28 runs during Friday’s doubleheader.

It also continued Kipnis’ success at U.S. Cellular Field, where he has eight multihit games in 16 starts and is hitting .424.

Small ball is a ‘prevalent part of the game and always will be’ • SMALL BALL Continued from page C1 “The run scoring environment has changed,” Padres GM Josh Byrnes said.

“We play in a division and ballpark where there’s a lot of low-scoring, one-run games, so the ability to score one run or prevent the run probably dictates the wins and losses more. I never believe it’s either or. You have to be able to manufacture runs and you also have to be able to hit a homer.”

The Mariners also adjusted their fences before the season, moving in the wall as much as 17 feet in left-center field. Like the Padres, Seattle’s offense needed a boost.

Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik said small ball “is still a prevalent part of the game and it always will be,” but he conceded player personnel and the home ballpark must be taken into consideration.

“In Safeco, when it was a big cavernous ballpark, we were big on defense because we didn’t have the thumpers,” Zduriencik said. “To go get one you’re in an arms race or dollars-and-cents race and you have to evaluate what we’re investing. … In our case, we always wanted to have hitters, but we always had to have defense because we had no other choice.”

For some teams, such as Oakland, relying on a combination of well-executed fundamentals and timely homers

yields the most success.

Oakland and GM Billy Beane are well known for adopting the philosophy of finding any way to get on base, whether by walks or getting hit by a pitch. The book and subsequent movie “Moneyball” highlights the A’s using small ball to fuel their success as a low payroll team and inspired other teams to try to execute the same philosophy.

This season’s A’s, sitting in second place in the AL West and a half game back of Texas, have hit only 31 home runs at Oakland Coliseum, but their 150 walks, tied for second most in the majors at home, and .326 on-base percentage, which ranks in the top half of all teams, has been a good enough combination to put them 13 games above .500 at home. Their 313 total walks lead the majors while the A’s 28 HBP and 41 stolen bases rank eighth and 16th, respectively.

“Every little thing counts, but you have to move a lot of runners over to make up for a guy that can hit one over the fence,” Beane said. “It’s a pretty efficient way to score runs.”

A BALANCING ACT It would be easy to assume Epstein relies heavily on analytics when assessing how to construct a team. After all, Epstein was one of the first to embrace the concept of sabermetrics during his time with the Red Sox. But Epstein looks at more than just

sabermetric-related statistics when determining the value of an out versus a run every game. Those factors include the weather conditions, the starting pitchers and the ballpark.

“If you’re playing in a league environment where you expect to score a ton of runs or expect the opponent to score a ton of runs, you don’t want to necessarily give up outs for the chance to score one, and you’ll certainly take outs from your opponent,” Epstein said.

Eighty-one times a season Cubs manager Dale Sveum arrives at Wrigley Field to prepare for that day’s game.

Of all the items on his to-do list, from filling out the lineup card to meeting with coaches, checking the direction the wind is blowing is always one of Sveum’s top priorities.

“A lot of times it’s hard to just play for one run,” Sveum said. “Obviously, here [at Wrigley], you can play for one run or play the infield in because when the wind is howling in, you’re not going to get certain things.

You know it’s going to be a low-scoring game.”

The Cubs are no strangers to playing in games in which runs are at a premium. Fifty-four of their 78 games (69.2 percent) this season have been decided by three runs or less. In comparison, the St. Lous Cardinals, who have the second-best record in the majors, have had 42 of their 79

games (53.2 percent) decided by three runs or less.

“Outs are our most valuable commodity as an offense, so we’re not looking to give away outs,” Epstein said. “But there’s a time to use it and you don’t always give away an out. Sometimes you can actually make things happen that way if you do it in the right situation.”

White Sox director of amateur scouting Doug Laumann said there has been emphasis in scouting, particularly the past few years, to scout players who exude power at the plate or exhibit athleticism, especially speed on the basepaths.

“We’ve certainly seen a deterioration of people being able to play small ball,” Laumann said. “To be honest with you, we typically do not see much of that because those are the types of things kids don’t do anymore – those aren’t the types of things that get kids drafted or signed.

The last thing a kid wants to do is lay down a bunt or hit the ball behind the base runner.”

Aluminum bats in the high school and college levels also deter those players and coaches playing for one run. Because runs are rarely at a premium, it wouldn’t make sense for hitters using aluminum bats to lay down a bunt.

However, there has been a slight shift in philosophy this year at the College World Series in Omaha, Neb. TD

Ameritrade Park, which has hosted the CWS since 2011, has featured a dearth of runs. Through 12 CWS games this year, 74 total runs were scored marking the lowest total in CWS history, which eclipsed the previous low of 76 runs scored through 12 games in 1973.

Since aluminum bats were first used in 1974, the lowest run total entering this year’s CWS was 91 runs in 2011 and 2012.

“The ballpark is so big and the bats aren’t as juiced up as they used to be, teams are playing for one or two runs now (in the CWS) rather than playing for big innings,” Laumann said.

How Epstein and other teams build their roster impacts the flexibility a manager has in choosing to sacrifice an out for a potential run. But finding players who are capable of advancing a runner by hitting to the right side or purposing trying to hit a fly ball to set up a sacrifice fly through the draft is rare.

The onus is on organizations’ development programs to teach prospects the tools and techniques involving small ball tactics.

“Small ball to me is you’re playing for one run typically.

You’re trying to ‘manufacture’ the run, and it’s stupid,” Law said. “In an environment where you’re scoring five runs a game, that one run especially early in the game, that’s not how you play. You go for the big inning.”

GARY COLLINS SHOOTOUT

Rogers leads CL South past Prairie Ridge in final Senior guard leads Gators with 12 points

By CHRIS BURROWS cburrows@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Austin Rogers doesn’t have to prove himself anymore. Instead, he’s learning a new role.

As a junior last season, Crystal Lake South’s starting guard and leading scorer made a name for himself in the Fox Valley Conference, but Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com now South coach Matt LePage Crystal Lake South senior Chris Mahoney goes up for a layup during wants Rogers’ talents as a leadthe Gary Collins Shootout championship game Saturday at Crystal er and a passer to uplift his Lake South High School. South defeated Prairie Ridge, 49-41. teammates.

Everything came together Satuday when the Gators defeated Rockford East, 65-28, in the semifinal round, and then Prairie Ridge, 49-41, in the championship game of the Gary Collins Shootout at South.

“Everybody knows [Rogers] is our guy, but what I was proud of is that he’s become a really good passer, too,” LePage said. “Last year, he might have put his head down and tried to get the extra two, and this year he’s trusting his teammates.

That’s a big part of how successful we’ll be.”

Rogers scored the go-ahead bucket on a put-back in the low-post with eight minutes left in the first half against Prairie Ridge, and South never looked back.

“They thrive on my energy, so when I’m playing well, it makes everyone else play well. And when I’m not playing well, I try to give them confidence to shoot the ball well,” Rogers said.

The senior scored a teamhigh 12 points, but the Gators got scoring from eight other contributors.

“Honestly, today was probably the first day where I thought our mixture of seniors, juniors and sophomores all kind of gelled,” LePage said.

Prairie Ridge made it to the championship game after a thrilling, 46-44, sudden-death overtime win over Larkin in the semifinals. Less than five minutes later, the Wolves changed jerseys and took the

floor against South.

“I thought that was probably as well as we have played all summer,” Wolves coach Corky Card said of their semifinal victory. “[Larkin] was very good. They run their stuff very well, and they have bigs that can shoot, score inside and play.”

Prairie Ridge expects to return a lot of upperclassmen next season, so the competition for minutes already has begun.

“It’s nice to play in a championship game,” Card said. “But as I told our kids, this loss shouldn’t be any different than any other game, because you’re really working on what you need to do to find your way to make the team.”

NASCAR SPRINT CUP: QUAKER STATE 400

SWIMMING: U.S. NATIONALS

NASCAR to race Sunday after rain

Ledecky, Lochte claim titles

By MICHAEL MAROT The Associated Press

By GARY GRAVES The Associated Press SPARTA, Ky. – Rain on Saturday night forced NASCAR to postpone the Sprint Cup race at Kentucky Speedway until Sunday.

The 400-mile event was rescheduled for 11 a.m. Sunday.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. will start on the pole in a Chevy alongside Carl Edwards’ Ford.

It was the circuit’s first postponement since last year’s season-opening Daytona 500. The marquee event ran the next night for the first time in its history.

Sunday’s rescheduling creates the first day Cup race for the 1.5-mile oval after two events at night.

Showers were forecast all day around the state, which arrived around mid-afternoon with a heavy downpour followed by sporadic rain.

NASCAR delayed the start and held out hope for a late start with jet driers on the track, but another band of rain led officials to postpone the race just after 8 p.m.

“We knew it would be touch-and-go, and from early in the morning we were tracking the weather,” NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp said. “We dispatched the driers and they stayed out ahead of it, but the weather cells never did move out of the area and they looked like they would linger.”

That’s the number beside the names of Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic, who turned in nearly perfect performances backto-back Saturday on Centre Court to cap nearly perfect runs to the fourth round at the All England Club, while chaos reigned all around them.

In the final match of the fortnight’s first half, played with the roof closed and lights glowing to make sure it would get done as darkness approached, defending champion Williams used eight aces and 11 return winners to power past 42-year-old Kimiko Date-Krumm of Japan, 6-2, 6-0, in 61 minutes.

FIFA CONFEDERATIONS CUP CHAMPIONSHIP

Dream final: Brazil vs. Spain

By TALES AZZONI The Associated Press RIO DE JANEIRO – The Confederations Cup has the final nearly everyone wanted: a long-awaited matchup between world champion Spain and host Brazil.

The most dominant national team in recent years and the most successful team ever in international play will meet Sunday at Maracana Stadium for the title of the eight-nation warmup tournament for next year’s World Cup. It will be the first meeting between the nations since 1999 and their first competitive match since Brazil’s 1-0 win on Socrates’ goal in the first round of the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.

“It’s the match everyone wanted to happen,” Brazilian striker Neymar said. “The en-

tire world wanted it and everybody will be watching it.”

Brazil, which has won the past two Confederation Cups, hopes a victory will help it regain status as a global power after recent struggles, while Spain wants to show that not even the five-time world champions can put a dent in its supremacy.

“Brazil is possibly the best team in the history of football, and to face them in this situation is something magnificent,” Spanish midfielder Xavi Hernandez said. “It’s a special final, a special night. We want to win it.”

With more than 70,000 Brazilian fans expected to pack the iconic venue, the world and European champions will be put to a test by a reinvigorated Selecao led by 21-year-old Neymar and World Cup-winning coach Luiz Felipe Scolari.

“Spain is a spectacular team, but it has weak points just like any other team,” Scolari said Saturday. “I don’t think they are the favorites. We are capable of winning. This is our home, and we need to make them respect us.”

Spain won the 2010 World Cup along with the 2008 and 2012 European Championships. La Furia Roja are unbeaten in a world record 29 competitive matches over three years since losing their 2010 World Cup opener to Switzerland, outscoring opponents 69-11 over that span.

“We are talking about a match against Brazil, the fathers of football, at the Maracana,” Spain coach Vicente Del Bosque said. “We are happy to be having this opportunity, and we hope we are back here in 2014, too.”

ter, day after day. Not better in general, but adapting to the surface. Everything is getting better,” said French coach Patrick Mouratoglou, who has been working with Williams over the past year, when she is 77-3. “So now let’s enter into the most important part of the tournament. ... Now the matches are going to get tougher and tougher.”

Williams’ easy win followed the 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 victory over 28th-seeded Jeremy Chardy of France turned in by 2011 champion Djokovic, who compiled a remarkable ratio of 38 winners to three unforced errors. The Serb’s initial miscue of his own doing did not come until the third set’s sixth game, when he double-faulted while ahead 4-1, 40-love.

“Everything went my way,” Djokovic said. “I did everything I wanted to do.”

Both he and Williams could say that about the way they handled matters throughout Week 1.

INDIANAPOLIS – Katie Ledecky took on the most grueling challenge of her swimming career and won three times.

This week might be only the warm-up.

The Maryland swimmer pulled away in the women’s 1,500-meter freestyle final Saturday, winning in 15 minutes, 47.15 seconds, posting the fourth fastest time in world history and shattering the one of the oldest long-course championship records in the American book.

Janet Evans set the previous mark in March 1988 when she finished in 15:52.1. Twenty-five years, two months, three days later, Ledecky cut that time by nearly 5 full seconds to win another U.S. national title and give herself a chance to become the first American woman to swim the four longest freestyle events at a world championship.

“I’m very happy with that time and it’s a good way to finish the meet,” Ledecky said.

The night’s other feature attraction was Ryan Lochte, the world record-holder in the 200 individual medley. He was just 0.12 seconds off that pace after 150 meters but faded over the final 50 and settled for his third win of the week in 1:55.44. Conor Dwyer finished second in 1:57.74.

Ledecky competed in four races at the IUPUI Natatorium, winning national championships in the three longest events – the 400, 800 and 1,500 free – in astoundingly easy fashion.

NHL DRAFT

Colorado looking at MacKinnon at No. 1

Penguins’ Bylsma to coach team in Sochi

This draft class touted as the best in 10 years

By DAN GELSTON The Associated Press The Colorado Avalanche own the top pick in the NHL draft and a whole lot of options.

Nathan MacKinnon and Seth Jones. Jonathan Drouin and Aleksander Barkov.

They are the top candidates to go first Sunday at the Prudential Center.

Colorado won the draft lottery and has flirted with the idea of picking a puck-moving d e f e n s e m a n Nathan in Jones. But MacKinnon it appears the Avalanche are leaning toward choosing a forward, perhaps the 17-year-old MacKinnon.

MacKinnon, a 6-foot, 182-pound center, is a solid two-way presence with strong hands and stick-handling and skating skills. He is considered a natural scorer and a good puck distributor.

Of course, Colorado also could decide to trade the pick to the Florida Panthers, who are slated to pick second, or to the Tampa Bay Lightning at No. 3, or even farther down to another club that is looking to make a splash and shoot to the top.

There is plenty of talent available, and this draft pool already has been touted as the best in a decade. This year’s prospects have been favorably compared to the last blockbuster draft in 2003.

Marc-Andre Fleury, Eric Staal, Jeff Carter and Mike Richards highlighted that first round 10 years ago. Patrice Bergeron and Shea Weber went in the second round, and

future All-Stars and Stanley Cup champions dotted the list of a loaded draft.

Fast forward to now and there is a new group of prospects vying to become as well known and decorated as some of today’s stars.

MacKinnon, Jones, Drouin and Barkov are likely to be taken in the top four.

Given the track record of defensemen at No. 1, the Avalanche could play it safe and nab an elite forward instead.

“As far as MacKinnon, I could tell you he’s a heck of a player. Jones is a heck of a player,” Avalanche coach Patrick Roy said. “It’s the same thing with Drouin.

They’re all premier players in the future for the NHL.” Fair or not to Jones, teams are skittish about taking a defenseman first. The last defenseman selected No. 1 was Erik Johnson by St. Louis in 2006. Johnson, who now plays for Colorado, had only four points in 31 games this season and never has lived up to his top billing.

Only 12 defensemen have gone No. 1, and Denis Potvin (1973, New York Islanders) is the only one to make the Hockey Hall of Fame.

The Avalanche could make it 13 after winning the draft lottery for the first time.

Jones has deep roots with the Avalanche, dating to the early part of last decade when his father, former NBA forward Popeye Jones, struck up a friendship with Joe Sakic and Roy when they all played in Colorado.

Sakic is now the Avalanche’s executive vice president of hockey operations, and Roy is the club’s new coach.

Jones, a 6-4, 205-pound defenseman, could become the first American picked No. 1 since the Blackhawks’ Patrick Kane in 2007 and the seventh overall.

Dan Bylsma never has coached hockey at the international level. The Pittsburgh Penguins coach does, however, know how to win while juggling a roster dotted with superstars.

That was good enough for USA Hockey to select Bylsma as coach of the U.S. Olympic men’s hockey team at the 2014 Winter Olympics on Saturday, hoping the free-flowing style he teach- Dan Bylsma es translates well to the wider rinks that await in Sochi, Russia in February.

The 42-year-old Michigan native didn’t hide from the glaring hole in his resume moments after being introduced. When asked how he was going to build on his limited experience in international coaching, Bylsma quickly offered a correction.

“I don’t have any experience,” Bylsma said with a laugh. “So ‘very little’ is wrong.”

The next eight months should take care of that as the U.S. vies for its first gold medal since the “Miracle on Ice” in 1980.

The U.S. won silver in 2002 at Salt Lake City and was runner-up to Canada in Vancouver three years ago, losing 3-2 in overtime when Penguins star Sidney Crosby beat U.S. goaltender Ryan Miller 7:40 into the extra session.

Bylsma, who won the 2009 Stanley Cup with Crosby, was watching the game from a restaurant when he saw his captain take a pass from Jarome Iginla and race in on Miller to produce one of the most iconic moments in the

history of the sport.

“I got off of my chair because I had a pretty good notion he was going to put that home for the win,” Bylsma said.

Bylsma’s appointment was announced before the NHL has officially decided to take a break next season to allow its players to participate.

NHL officials will meet with the players’ association, the International Olympic Committee and International Ice Hockey Federation in New York on Monday to iron out an agreement that would free up its players to compete in Sochi.

Once approved, Bylsma will have to find a way to slow down Crosby and 2012 NHL MVP Evgeni Malkin, who is expected to play for his native Russia.

“I’m also a little bit concerned [Crosby] knows me as a coach, my strengths and my weaknesses he’s going to bring that to the attention of the Canadian team,” Bylsma said.

Nashville Predators general manager David Poile, who will serve in the same capacity for Sochi, called Bylsma “one of the very best coaches in the league.”

Bylsma played nine years as a defensive-minded forward for the Los Angeles and Anaheim from 1995-2004 before moving into coaching.

He replaced Michel Therrien as Penguins’ coach in February 2009 and guided Pittsburgh to the third championship in franchise history.

He won the Jack Adams Award as the NHL Coach of the Year in 2011 and helped the Penguins post the best record in the Eastern Conference during the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season.

Pittsburgh advanced to the conference finals before being swept by the Boston Bruins.

By JOHN LEICESTER The Associated Press BASTIA, Corsica – Riders at the Tour de France know to expect the unexpected. But nothing could have prepared them for the mayhem that turned Saturday’s first stage of the 100th Tour into a demolition derby on two wheels.

Seemingly for the first time at the 110-year-old race, one of the big buses that carry the teams around France when they’re not on their bikes got stuck at the finish line, literally wedged under scaffolding, unable to move. The timing couldn’t have been worse: The blockage happened as the speeding peloton was racing for home, less than 12 miles out.

Fearing the worst – a possible collision between 198 riders and the bus – race organizers took the split-second decision to shorten the race. Word went out to riders over their radios and they adapted tactics accordingly, cranking up their speed another notch to be first to the new line, now 1.8 miles closer than originally planned.

Then, somewhat miraculously, the bus for the Orica Greenedge team wriggled free. So organizers reverted to Plan A. Again over the radios, word went out to by-now confused riders

Alberto Contador of Spain (center, No. 91) sits on the road after a group of riders crashed Saturday during the first stage of the Tour de France cycling race over 133 miles with start in Porto Vecchio and finish in Bastia, Corsica island, France. and teams that the race would finish as first intended – on a long straightaway alongside the shimmering turquoise Mediterranean, where an expectant crowd waited to cheer the first stage winner of the 100th Tour.

Then, bam! Two riders collided and one of them went down, setting off a chain of spills that scythed through the pack like a bowling ball.

And this was just Day One. The bad news for riders: They’ve still got another 20 stages and1,982 more miles to survive to the finish in Paris.

Keeping his head and riding his luck amid the chaos, Marcel Kittel sprinted for the win, claiming the first yellow jersey.

“It feels like I have gold on my shoulders,” said the German rider for the Argos-Shimano team.

The 22 teams know from experience that the first days of any Tour are always tough. Everyone is nervous, full of energy and jostling for position. Adding to the stress this year is the race start in Corsica. The island’s winding and often narrow roads that snake along idyllic coastlines and over jagged mountains are superbly telegenic but a worry for race favorites – the likes of Team Sky’s Chris Froome and two-time former champion Alberto Contador – because a fall or big loss of time here could ruin their Tour before it really begins.

It’s time for Best Under 40 – again Jack Benny was eternally one of the Best Under 40.

The comedian was forever 39.

The “stuck on 39” running gag got started the year after Jack Benny celebrated his “first” 39th birthday on his radio show. It was so much fun he decided to do the same thing the next year, because “There’s nothing funny about 40.” Benny would celebrate his 39th birthday 41 times on radio and then TV. A headline for his obituary in 1974 (39 years ago) read: “Jack Benny dies – at age 39?”

Never heard of Jack Benny?

Hmm, you must be under 40. In which case you could be a candidate for the annual McHenry County’s Best Under 40 awards.

The Business Journal and the Northwest Herald are seeking nominations to recognize McHenry County professionals under the age of 40 who have made significant contributions to their profession, company and community.

Those selected for Best Under 40 will be featured in the Business Journal’s October issue, with a reception, dinner and awards presentation to follow.

You can find an entry form in ads published regularly in the Northwest Herald, or submit your nomination online at NWHerald. com/forms/best-under-40. Make sure to list your candidate’s career milestones, individual achievements, volunteerism and philanthropic work. Deadline for nominations is Aug. 23.

Medela sales pumped Affordable Care Act mandate hikes breast-feeding device production

By BRETT ROWLAND browland@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Breast-pump maker Medela Inc. added a third shift of workers this year to increase production following a surge of orders set off by a provision in the Affordable Care Act. Under the health law, insurance companies are required to cover, without copay, the cost of breastfeeding devices and lactation counseling along with other preventative health services.

McHenry-based Medela is an industry leader on both sides of the business – making breast pumps that mothers buy and use to provide breast milk to their babies, as well as sales and services to the hospitals and clinics that work with mothers as they initiate breast-feeding.

So far, Obamacare has been a boon for Medela, which has more than 600 employees in McHenry and is among the county’s largest employers. The company has seen a “significant increase” in demand for its products, said spokeswoman Claudette Yasell. As a result, it has ramped up production to meet that demand.

It remains to be seen how the coverage mandate could affect the breast-pump market going forward.

Some pumps can cost more than $300, but insurance companies have set limits to what they will cover.

The requirement could help encourage mothers to breast feed or help them to breast feed for a longer time, said Dr. Brian Money, a pediatric hospitalist with Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington.

“Any time you can advocate for breast-feeding, it’s a good thing. The health benefits of breast-feeding, for both the mother and child, are welldocumented,” he said. “Having access to a breast pump shouldn’t just be a luxury.”

Manual breast pumps are less expensive, but can be tedious and difficult. Many women prefer electric pumps, Money said.

The insurance coverage rule, which went into effect Jan. 1, doesn’t specify what types of pumps or brands must be covered. As a result, insurers have come up with a variety of different policies and coverage benefits, according to research done by Medela on behalf of its customers.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, the state’s largest insurer, covers manual, electric and hospitalgrade pumps with some limits and restrictions, according to a company memo. It will cover the cost of purchasing an electric breast pump as long as it is purchased from an innetwork provider or contracted durable medical equipment provider.

Many mothers are taking advantage of the benefits, said Stephanie Uhr, a lactation consultant at Centegra’s Breast Feeding Resource Center in Woodstock.

Breast-pump sales at Centegra are up 40 percent so far this year because of the health law, Uhr said. Lactation consultations have jumped by about the same percentage.

“We’ve definitely seen an in-

Prior to Jan. 1, few insurance policies covered breast-feeding equipment, Uhr said. Because the mandate is relatively new, getting pumps for new mothers can be difficult.

“There’s lots of back and forth with the insurance companies,” Uhr said. “We’re hoping the process will get better next year.”

Even so, mothers are “ecstatic” about the benefit, she said. It’s promoting breast-feeding and making it easier for women to continue to the practice after maternity leave.

“They can breast-feed longer because they have access to the equipment when they go back to work,” Uhr said. “And the longer they breast-feed, the better it is for their health and the baby’s health.”

Breast-pump sales are up more than 100 percent at Lehan Drugs, a pharmacy, compounding pharmacy and medical supply company with locations in DeKalb, Sycamore and Rockford. Last year, before the mandate, Lehan Drugs sold about $20,000 worth of breast pumps. Last month alone, the company sold $10,000 worth, said DJ Larson, who works in provider relations at Lehan.

Insurance coverage limits have left many mothers frustrated and confused. Most policies cover the pump, but not the bags, coolers, and other accessories most mothers need to pump on the go, Larson said.

“Because mothers have enough going on, we do all the work for them and determine what the insurance company will cover,” he said. “We saw a need here and we’ve

Lehan Drugs has a lactation specialist on staff to help with the process and has focused on building up this part of its business, Larson said.

It’s not clear how much insurance benefit limits could influence purchasing decisions in the breastpump market.

Larson said some mothers, particularly those who want Hygeia pumps, are willing to pay out of

pocket to get the specific pump they want.

About 77 percent of insurance policies have hospital-grade pump coverage. Hospital pumps, which are stronger and designed to last longer, are usually rented. Most insurance companies require preauthorization or a prescription to get this type of pump, Medela’s study found.

Annual reporting requirements for organizations This is the season that the IRS sends generic notices to exempt or nonprofit organizations as a reminder to file federal form 990-N. Unfortunately, this can be confusing for several reasons, the most important of which is that many organizations are not required to file 990-N. To be sure, an IRS notice can make anyone uncomfortable, especially in light of recently reported events. Couple that with the complexities of nonprofit reporting and you certainly have a recipe for confusion. Consequently, this is a perfect time for a basic review of governmental compliance: What to file, and when. First, the caveats: This discussion will focus annual reporting requirements for organizations that reside and operate within Illinois. If your organization has a presence in multiple states, or if you solicit contributions across state lines, you will likely have additional filing requirements with other states. Also, I won’t be discussing

payroll and excise taxes – no way to fit everything in one column!

Many associate tax-exempt organizations with Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). This is your basic public charity or private foundation, both of which may solicit and receive charitable contributions that are tax-deductible to the donor. However, there are many different types of exempt organizations under 501(c), not all of which are granted the privilege of soliciting charitable contributions.

For example, most business leagues are organized under Section 501(c) (6), and social clubs are organized under Section 501(c)(4). While such organizations may operate without paying federal and state income taxes, typically they may not solicit tax-deductible contributions. Your IRS tax determination letter will indicate the type of organization.

Now for the “Powers That Be” – the governmental agencies to which your nonprofit must report annually:

NONPROFITS Nancy Gonsiorek 1. Illinois secretary of state: Most organizations operate as notfor-profit corporations. As such, they are required to file an Illinois Corporate Annual Report. This very brief form is due on the corporate anniversary (the anniversary of the date it became a corporation) along with a $10 filing fee. Be sure to list all current board members of the organization when you complete this form.

2. Internal Revenue Service: Almost every organization must file annually with the IRS. Private foundations file form 990PF. Other organizations file either form 990, 990EZ or 990-N, as determined by gross revenues (defined as all revenues from all sources derived) and total assets: • For gross revenues of $50,000

or less, you can file the brief 990-N, online, at IRS.gov; • Form 990EZ is for gross revenues of $50,001-$200,000 and assets of $500,000 or less; and • Form 990 is required for gross revenues and assets of more than $200,000 and $500,000, respectively.

There are some exceptions to these general requirements so it is advisable to consult your accountant. The filing due date for all forms 990 is 4½ months after the fiscal year end. For example, if your year end is Dec. 31, the 990 filing due date is May 15.

3. Illinois attorney general: Virtually all 501(c)(3) organizations must register and file annually with the IAG. Audited financial statements are a required attachment when gross revenues exceed $300,000, and that filing threshold is reduced to $25,000 if the organization hires a professional fundraiser. Remember, a business league or social club may not have these filing requirements

because these organizations typically do not solicit charitable contributions. Report on form AG990-IL along with a $15 annual filing fee.

The report is due six months after the fiscal year end. For example, if your year end is Dec. 31, the filing due date is June 30.

Just as individuals file annual tax returns, nonprofits also have annual filing requirements. Nonprofit leaders should be aware of these filing requirements so they can organize records and consult their accountant to ensure timely compliance – and so they don’t worry when the IRS sends an erroneous notice!

The study also found that most policies provide a pump after the baby is delivered.

About 60 percent of plans allow for mothers to upgrade to a pump of their choice, if they pay the difference in cost.

Seventy-six percent of policies are flexible and allow the insured to chose another pump if the covered one isn’t available. And 96 percent of policies cover lactation support, the research found.

Medela believes the coverage mandate will help mothers who breast-feed. However, mothers need to be proactive about contacting their insurance company to find out about what coverage is available, Yasell said.

The Affordable Care Act could boost breast-pump sales for a one or two years before leveling off above previous levels, Martin Gold, founder of Technology Access Partners, told Bloomberg Businessweek earlier this year.

Global Industry Analysts, a market research company, cited several factors that could increase breast-pump sales in the coming years, including the rising number of working mothers with full-time jobs.

“An important growth driver is the increasing awareness about the benefits of breastfeeding in light of the rising health concerns over the use of infant formula feed,” GIA said in a press release last month.

“Other factors driving growth include favorable demographics such as older parents with higher discretionary spending and dual-income households.

Additionally, the restructuring of the reimbursement policies in the U.S. in January 2013 wherein insurance companies are required to cover cost of lactation counseling and breast-feeding devices is further expected to witness increased adoption of these devices.”

The global market for breast pumps is projected to reach 7.3 million units by 2018, according to GIA’s research.

Nothing wrong with paying off young lawyer’s debt Dear Dave,

Dear Katrina,

Our son is about to graduate from law school. He took out a loan to cover the cost, but we’ve been paying on it for two years to help him out. Right now, the balance on the loan is about $76,000. We could continue paying it off, but my husband is hesitant. How do you feel about this situation?

There’s really no downside to this, as long as each time you do a refinance you lower your interest rate enough to allow you to recoup closing costs before you move. In other words, you have to first make sure the numbers work.

First, calculate the amount of money you’ll save as a result of a refinance. The way to do this is by multiplying the interest difference by your loan balance. If you have a $200,000 mortgage on a 5 percent loan, and you refinance to a 3 percent loan, that will save you 2 percent per year, or $4,000. Next, look at the refinance costs. What are the closing costs in order to refinance?

If it’s $10,000, and you divide that by $4,000, that says it would take two and a half years to get your money back. If the costs are $8,000, it would take you two years to get your money back if you’re saving $4,000 a year. That’s pretty substantial!

What I just laid out is called a break-even analysis. Basically, it

– Patty

Dear Patty, It’s not a bad thing if you guys decide to continue helping him out by paying off the rest of the loan. But I don’t want you to feel as if you’re obligated in any way. No deal has been broken here, and you haven’t reneged on a previous agreement.

But there’s absolutely nothing wrong with a young lawyer earning a living and paying off his own debt. He can roll up his sleeves and clean up the mess he participated in making.

If you do decide to pay it off, that’s an incredibly generous gift.

In my mind, it should be met with

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey much gratitude and appreciation.

It should also be accompanied by a signed letter of agreement from him stating that he will never, except in the case of a 15-year, fixed rate mortgage, borrow money again.

In other words, I’d want to see some kind of permanent commitment and recognition of the fact that you guys have changed your family tree. I’d want this kid to be affected in a deep and profound way by this gift; so much that his kids would also be affected in a positive way by your behavior and by his in the years to come!

– Dave

Dear Dave, Is there a downside to refinancing your home often?

– Katrina

answers the question of how long it will take you to get back the money you spent on closing costs with the interest you save. That will give you the answer as to whether or not you should refinance again.

So, there’s not really a “you’ve done this too often” rule. If you refinance three times in a year it would only be smart if interest rates have dropped significantly throughout that time. Doing a refinance to save an eighth of a percent won’t work out well for you.

Should You Accept a Promotion Without a Raise? a career coach in Cleveland.

“Now you accept the offer, then you get to prove you can do the job, then you get the money.”

By John Rossheim, Monster Senior Contributing Writer Congratulations! You’ve earned a promotion! Oh, um, by the way, we’renotgoingtopayyouanother nickel, even as you take on greater responsibilities, work longer hours and add more to the company’s bottom line. Such a deal!

Yes, this jarring scenario has an air of unreality about it. “It’s hard to believe that something like this is happening,” says Robert Hosking, executive director of staffing firm OfficeTeam.

But with so many workers running scared these days, promotion-without-a-raise is a gambit some are forced to reckon with.

“It’s not common; it’s an exception,” says Lynne Sarikas, director of the MBA Career Center at Northeastern University’s College of Business Administration. “When it does happen, people are caught off-guard.”

If a promotion sans pay raise causes you to question your company’s fiscal health, you may have good reason to. Or you may be failing to recognize the extraordinary power that employers wield in the volatile labor market of the 2010s.

Still, taking a promotion without a raise might be the right thing to do. “When I accepted significant additional responsibility and a promotion without an immediate salary increase, the longer term salary increase ended up far outweighing what I would have received at the time of the promotion,” Sarikas says. “And it added highly valuable experience to my resume.”

How can you be prepared for the possibility of a promotion offered without a pay increase?

Here are three key tactics for improving the likelihood of a positive career outcome.

1. Find Out Why You’re Not Getting a Raise First, don’t allow the shock and awe of a cashless promotion stun you into silence. Speak up and find out the why behind the zilch.

After “sorry, we just can’t afford to pay you more right now,” perhaps the most frequent reason employers give is that they’re giving you a stretch assignment. Says Sarikas: “The hiring manager may say, ‘If I were going to fill this job from the outside, I would look for the complete skill set. You’re great, but you only have part of it.’”

Management Navy's Fleet & Family Readiness has civilian management Jobs Open in the area of Fitness, Recreation and Restaurant/Kitchen.

Other part-time jobs are also available with flexible hours and good pay.

Fill out our online application today at www.mwrgl.com or call: 847-688-2110 ext. 103

Employers confirm this tactic.

“At times I’ve said, ‘OK, you’re a risk because you’re a little green, but you’ve got a lot of talent, so I’ll promote you from director to senior director,’” says Greg Dollarhyde, CEO of the Veggie Grill restaurant chain and a serial entrepreneur.

In this situation, it’s up to you to set the stage for a pay raise in the foreseeable future.

“Metrics for how performance tracks with increasing compensation should be outlined -- in writing,” Komac says.

2. Make Sure Career Development Is Built In If your promotion comes with the caveat that you’re not fully qualified for it, ask for the resources necessary to fill the gap.

If your manager asserts that you will simply sink or swim in the elevated position, you might conclude that he doesn’t know how to manage people.

Speak with your boss or human resources representative about your need for external training, an inside mentor or both. “Mentoring can be really effective if there are regularly scheduled sessions, like a breakfast meeting every three weeks,” Dollarhyde says.

External training can also help you make the stretch to a higher position, whether by boosting your management skills or expanding your subject-matter expertise. Don’t hesitate to ask your employer to pay for relevant training.

“The training budget sits separate from the pool of money that goes to raises,” Komac says.

But don’t let your boss get away with a dismissive asser-

Take a walk through these gardens Every year, I look forward to the Garden Walk hosted by the University of Illinois Extension Master Gardeners of McHenry County and McHenry County College. This year’s event will be 9 to 4 p.m.

July 13.

There are nine gardens that can be visited on a selfguided, daylong tour, which begins at the Master Gardeners’ Demonstration Garden at McHenry County College in Crystal Lake. Tickets can be purchased for $17. For information, call 815-455-8588 or visit www.mchenry.edu/ gardenwalk.

The brochure you receive with your ticket provides directions to each site and a brief preview of what’s there. Each garden is characterized with a catchy title, which I’m sure is meant to add a little intrigue to your experience. Here are a few of the gardens that will be on display.

BLAKE AND CANDY MUELLER Blake and Candy Mueller’s garden in Woodstock is called “Art In A Victorian Garden.”

Blake, a retired high school art teacher, brings his artistic talents to his cottage garden outside his Victorian home.

“I treat the garden like I would a painting,” he said. “I create with color, texture, balance rhythm and more.”

JOEY TALLURICO AND STEVE SCULLY The “Rooms with a View Garden” in Woodstock by Joey Tallurico and Steve Scully originally was built on a pig farm. This very fertile property features a number of garden rooms.

“There is a Chinese garden, a rose garden and a farmer’s garden ornamented with antique farm implements and tools,” Joey said.

The gardens are mostly perennials, but lush container gardens and unique antiques are featured throughout the property.

The garden of Corinne and Bob Roth of Spring Grove will be featured July 13 at Garden Walk.

MATT OLK AND DEANNE WARNER “Paradise Carved Out of a City Lot” in McHenry was created by Matt Olk and DeAnne Warner. They have more than nine different kinds of hydrangeas.

“We like to plant things that provide color all season long,” Matt Olk said.

On their quarter-acre city lot, they have loads of perennials, such as day lilies, tiger lilies, Russian sage, yarrow, hollyhock and lambs ears.

WENDY WU “From Succulents to Shade” in Spring Grove by Wendy Wu has 15 garden beds, a half-acre of native prairie, a bird and butterfly garden, a shade garden and two rock gardens.

“I have worked in the horticulture business for 15 years at a wholesale perennial nursery and as the owner of my own business, Perennial Poetry,” Wendy said. “So I am all about teaching gardeners. My main focus is to teach people about perennials and their proper placement.”

BOB AND CORINNE ROTH When Bob and Corinne Roth in Spring Grove built their home in 2007, the builder cleared only 30 feet around the

house. The rest was a mess of trees, invasive species and weeds. After working on a shade garden and vegetable garden near their house, they met with Laurie Ryan, a plant ecologist with the McHenry County Conservation District at Glacial Park. She taught them how to landscape with native plants. Bob and Corinne have a sign in their garden, called “Tucked into the Fen,” with the quote, “May all your weeds be wildflowers.” They mean that.

“I hope our visitors see how you can do lovely landscaping with native plants,” Bob said.

They ought to know.

RICH AND WENDY TOBIASZ Also in Spring Grove is the garden of Rich and Wendy Tobiasz, “Feat of Organic Food.”

The Tobiasz garden is the product of years of scientific study. Rich is a local expert on organic farming and sustainability. The mixture of vegetables, fruits and herbs with the husbandry of chickens, goats and sheep shows how bountiful the earth can be to those who cultivate it with care.

ROMMY LOPAT AND JOHN DRUMMOND Yet another dreamscape is the garden of Rommy Lopat and John Drummond in Rich-

mond, titled “Farmette in the Village of Yesteryear.”

Surrounded by Richmond Hunt Club and Conservation District land, the landscape looks virtually unchanged since it was first farmed in the mid-1800s. The farmette features a renovated farm house, antique windmill, barn and chicken coop combined with Victorian-era vegetable garden and formal gardens.

LOU EMMONS Lou Emmons’ garden, “A Visit to Blossom Bend,” is another example of how care for the environment can unite home and garden into a place of both conservation and beauty.

The use of berms and tree cover around the house shows a practical and beautiful way to keep heat out in the summer and inside in the winter.

Lou and her husband have been in the business of selling perennials as well as designing and installing gardens.

So, surrounding the Emmons’ home are gardens with a variety of plantings.

Vegetable that eats like steak

By JOE YONAN The Washington Post Sometimes, all I want is a steak.

Not a rib-eye or a T-bone, but some vegetable or another.

Those moments come when I’ve tired of the rice bowls and the stirfries and the salads, in which every ingredient has been pre-chopped to make for easy-to-scoop mouthfuls; and the tacos and pizzas and sandwiches, which need nothing more than my hands. Rather than choose “forks over knives,” to borrow a phrase from the documentary and cookbook franchise of the same name, I want something that requires me to use both utensils for a change. I want to cut up a slab of produce that’s sitting on a plate, definitely with a side dish, maybe with a sauce.

Cauliflower – roasted or pan-fried – often fits the bill. And portobello mushrooms are an obvious choice.

But when I came home with the first eggplant of the season from the farmers market recently, I knew it would satisfy my recent hankering.

I’ve steamed eggplant slices to luxurious tenderness and paired them with an Asian-style sauce. I’ve roasted or grilled eggplant whole until it collapsed and used it, of course, for baba ghanouj, soups and other pureed treatments. I’ve cubed it and pan-fried it with vinegar, sugar and spices for a delectable appetizer.

But I had never treated it like a schnitzel, that pounded and breaded meat cutlet usually involving veal or chicken, until I saw a tempting recipe in Maria Elia’s “The Modern

Vegetarian” (Kyle, 2009).

Elia enlivens the breading with Mediterranean touches such as mint, parsley, lemon zest and sumac, that tart Middle Eastern spice. (If you can’t find it, double the amount of lemon zest.) Other than ducking her call for fresh bread crumbs and relying instead on storebought panko-style bread crumbs, I followed her instructions to the letter. I was a little skeptical that the thick slices would get tender enough by the time their exterior turned brown; few things are as off-putting to an eggplant lover as that spongy, undercooked texture. But any fears were soon put to rest.

The slabs started to puff underneath the coating as they fried, the steam indicating the vegetable was cooking pretty quickly on the inside.

I let them drain, sprinkled them with a little more sumac and draped them over some tabbouleh.

I picked up the knife, and guess what? The eggplant was so tender I didn’t really need it. But I used it anyway.

Sumac-Spiced Eggplant ‘Schnitzel’ AP photo

1/2 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste Freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tablespoon whole or low-fat milk 1/4 cup flour Olive oil, for frying

1 large eggplant (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds) 1 cup unseasoned panko-style bread crumbs 2 tablespoons ground sumac 1 tablespoon finely grated ParmigianoReggiano cheese 1 tablespoon finely chopped mint leaves 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

Trim off and discard the eggplant’s stem, and cut the eggplant lengthwise into 3/4-inch-thick slices.

Combine the bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon of the sumac, the cheese, mint, parsley, lemon zest, salt and a few grinds of pepper, spreading the mixture in a shallow bowl or plate.

Whisk the eggs and milk together in a separate shallow bowl or plate. Place the flour in a third bowl or plate. Dust the eggplant slices with flour, dip them in the egg mixture, then coat with the bread crumb mixture, using all of the latter.

Pour the oil to a depth of 1/2 inch in a large skillet set over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding; fry the eggplant for about 4 minutes per side, until golden brown outside and tender inside.

(Make sure it is frying relatively slowly so the inside isn’t still too firm by the time the outside is browned.)

Use a slotted spatula to transfer the eggplant slices to the paper-lined plate.

Season with salt and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sumac. Serve with tabbouleh.

ANGELO’S BEFORE & AFTER ‘Restaurant: Impossible’ gives diner retro-modern makeover

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com Adjusting to the new Angelo’s restaurant on the Woodstock Square will take time, co-owner Angelo Paloumbis says.

It’s taking him time, along with his regular customers. But, he said, he’s not regretting his decision to bring in Chef Robert Irvine as part of the Food Network’s popular show, “Restaurant: Impossible.”

And he’d do it again.

The “It’s All Greek to Me” episode featuring Angelo’s, 117 E. Van Buren St., recently aired, and now can be seen as a repeat at various times on the Food Network. Through the show, Irvine is given $10,000 to turn around failing restaurants within two days.

At Angelo’s, Irvine and his crew modernized the decor and scaled back the menu, offering new options, such as the popular lamb burger, stuffed pepper and pork tenderloin, as well as fresher ingredients.

“It was a good experience,” Paloumbis said.

“Would I go through it again? In a heartbeat, but without family involved.”

He said he preferred not to go into details about how the undertaking affected his family, but did say the show failed to relay that it was his wife, Marianna, who actually invited in the television show through a letter.

“It was a Valentine’s Day gift to me to make the business better and benefit everyone in the family,” he said.

“The whole premise of the show was to help boost the business so we can make a little bit more money so I can actually pay for mine and Marianna’s wedding as a religious ceremony, instead of a civil ceremony,” he said. “There’s been a snafu in that right now, at least for the time being.”

Since Irvine’s vist, business is up, he said.

Through a quote on the Food Network’s online site, Paloumbis said the restaurant is now making at least a 10 percent profit.

Although, on Friday, he said it’s difficult to put a definite number on it.

“Some days are better than others,” he said.

“Right now, we’re just digging out of debt little by little.”

Reviews have been mixed on various social media sites, including those posted on the restaurant’s Facebook page and the Food Network’s site.

Some have said they don’t like the new decor, which has gone from more of a 1980s look to sort of retro-modern with more earthtones. Sill, others approve of the changes.

“I personally like the look,” Paloumbis said.

“It’s trendy. It has a little Victorian feel to it, but modern. The design team that was involved was phenomenal. It doesn’t feel like a diner anymore, even though it is. We’re slowly getting the place back together, hooking up music and TVs and stuff like that.”

He said it is to be expected that not everyone will be as pleased with the changes, including those made to the food.

“Any time you have a change, everyone needs to get acclimated to it,” he said.

“We’re still in the same place, the same people. You can still get anything you want, even if it’s not on the menu. If we have the ingredients, we’ll still make it for you.”

Cutting back the options on the menu has helped the business cut costs, he said, and the food has become more focused.

With fresher ingredients, the restaurant’s side items have improved. For instance, patrons have the option to order fresh fruit with their entrees instead of fries, he said. The spaghetti, marinara and alfredo sauces are all homemade, he said.

And the egglplant purée that comes with some items, such as the pork tenderloin and fried chicken, has been a hit, he said.

“Even our regular hamburgers, which now are all hand-packed, are extremely popular,” he said.

Now open for dinner, Angelo’s offers all the breakfast, lunch and dinner items all day. Prices did go up slightly, Paloumbis said, but only based on the market. Portion sizes did not decrease, he said.

“We are going to be bringing back some daily specials little by little,” he said.

As for his time with Irvine, Paloumbis described the famous chef as “really down to earth off camera” and “extremely intelligent,” saying he’d like to meet him

“I have nothing but high praise for the man,” he said.

“Honestly, it went a little better than I expected,” he said of the way the “Restaurant: Impossible” episode featuring his business turned out. “I knew I was going to get the brunt of it. It was better than I expected. It was an interesting experience.”

Owners preserve Woodstock Theatre history VIEWS Kurt Begalka

C

lassic Cinemas owners Willis and Shirley Johnson do not hesitate when asked why they are renovating yet another in a long line of historical theaters.

“We enjoy it,” Willis Johnson said. “We want to preserve the history of the building and its architecture. We like preserving the past.”

The Woodstock Theatre, 209 Main St., has quite the pedigree. The location has been home to a movie theater since 1911 – starting with the Princess – located across Main Street from the Gem. The Princess building was torn down and replaced by the Miller, followed by several incarnations of the Woodstock Theatre.

Four partners – Bill Freund, Virgil Smith, former Woodstock Mayor Alan Cornue and Don Peasley – bought and completely remodeled the theater, which reopened May 12, 1980.

In 1988, Classic Cinemas, a division of Tivoli Enterprises Inc. of Downers Grove, bought the Woodstock Theatre, later adding two screens by expanding into the building next door at 211 Main St. During construction in 2002, Willis Johnson said a film canister, reel and handbill from the Beverly Theatre fell from the ceiling. The nickelodeon-type venue was built in 1920.

And the Johnsons didn’t stop there. After all, this is the same company that bought and restored nine other historical theaters around the Chicago area – including the Spanish-style York Theatre in Elmhurst built in 1924; Cinema 12 in Carpentersville; the Elk Grove Theatre, Lake Theatre in Oak Park, Lindo Theatre in Freeport, the Meadowview and Paramount theaters in Kankakee, Ogden 6 Theatre in Naperville and the Tivoli Theatre in Downers Grove.

Woodstock, however, marks the first time Classic Cinemas has pursued a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Willis Johnson said a tax credit of about $200,000 is part of the reason, but not all of it.

“We are in a for-profit business,” Willis says. “We do some of that for a business perspective, and we do some of it for us.”

In 2008, Classic Cinemas presented a plan to renovate the current theater space, as well as construct new theaters north of the existing one. The company bought the city parking lot on Main Street, as well as three additional properties – located at 223, 225 and 229 Main St., with an eye toward recreating the city’s theater district. The end result will be eight theaters.

The last of the six new theaters at 209 Main St. opened to the public June 7. The remaining two theaters, located in what was the original theater complex, will be restored starting in early August. Work, which includes restoration of the main auditorium and creation of a small theater behind it, is anticipated to wrap up by Dec. 2, after the summer movie push and before the Christmas rush.

“Why do we do it? We don’t know any better,” joked company Vice President Chris Johnson. “Actually, I think there are a few things going on. One, my dad and Shirley [Johnson] love old theaters. They are unique, and there is a lot of joy bringing them back to life.

“We’re going to expose the dome and do all of the plaster,” Classic Cinemas Vice President Chris Johnson said. “You get all of the creature comforts with the new theater combined with the feel and nostalgia of the old.”

“The other thing is the whole aspect of the downtown. It’s fun to fuel interest and bring life back to that part of town.”

The one caveat is that the process is getting harder and harder, as technological demands, land prices and material costs rise … not to mention expectations.

“You want to make that splash, that difference,” Chris Johnson said.

John C. Miller, a consummate promoter, learned that lesson long ago. In 1927, the Princess Theatre owner tore down an adjoining hardware store to expand the theater, which he renamed thanks to a poll in the Woodstock Sentinel. The new Miller Theatre, which seated 860 people, boasted the Moorish-style architecture still visible today. A domed ceiling covered in aluminum leaf featured an ornamental plaster ventilation grill at its heart.

In a special program issued for the opening week – Nov. 8-12, 1927 – Miller wrote: “Here are installed every convenience for the comfort of our patrons and into the theatre itself we have striven to weave that harmony of arrangement and unity of decoration that will delight the eye and prove restful to the mind.”

Classic Cinemas is spending $4.8 million on construction and about $1 million more on state-of-theart equipment. Each auditorium will feature stadium seating and rocker seats, state-of-the-art digital sound and projection. Three of the theaters will be able to show movies in 3-D. There also is a “descriptive audio” option for the blind and captioning system for the hearing impaired.

“It’s a perfect blend of old and new,” Chris Johnson said. “I believe people will be blown away. And the biggest plus is the condition of the dome and what we plan to do with that. There is nothing that screams ‘wow’ more in there.”

While I am disappointed the original sloped floor will be replaced by stadium seating, Chris Johnson said the company had little choice.

The Johnsons are fabricating five grills, 30 inches wide by 8 feet long, based on an original salvaged by Woodstock Opera House Executive Director John Scharres. The genuine article grill will be on display, not all that far from an original chandelier located at a Richmond antique shop.

bilia that we find and incorporate it in our theaters,” Willis Johnson said. For example, the 4-foot-tall, art deco sconces that once adorned the Colonial Theater on Washington Street in Marengo now light the Lake Theatre in Oak Park.

The idea is to create a seamless transition from old to new.

“You walk into the theater and you think it’s been like this from the beginning,” Chris Johnson said.

The best of these rising stars – who could be considered driven, leaders, talented and inspirational – will be exclusively named and featured in the Business Journal’s October issue.

KARATE’S UNSUNG HEROES Students from LITH’s Focus Martial Arts earn medals from world championships

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com

ABOVE: Kelly Arredia, (from left) Rebecca Fishman and Lindsey Willis listen to coach Gail Kalinsky during the team practice. The only kids from Illinois to go to the World Karate Confederation Championships in Melbourne, Australia, were from Focus Martial Arts in Lake in the Hills. TOP: Kalinsky oversees the team practice at Focus Martial Arts.

They’re world champions, but you wouldn’t know it.

Five students at Focus Martial Arts in Lake in the Hills already have moved on to their latest competition and packed their medals away in their rooms.

They’re proud, but have few words to say about their trip in May to Melbourne, Australia, to compete in the World Karate Confederation Championships as members of the U.S. National Team.

“It’s kind of one of those unsung hero things,” said Jim O’Hara, owner of the facility and head coach for the U.S. team.

“These kids don’t walk around pounding their chests. They’re very humble.”

The team members joined 60 other competitors from throughout the country at the championships, to represent the United States in a competition among 22 countries.

Many of them had done so two years before when the competition took place in Venice, Italy, and brought home medals then, as well.

Among those on the team this year were 15-year-olds Jamieson Allare and Kelly Arredia; 13-year-old Rebecca Fishman; 16-year-old Zach Harr; and 14-year-old Lindsey Willis.

All except Willis will attend Huntley High School in the fall.

Willis will be a freshman at Marian Central Catholic High School.

Allare and Willis won two gold medals each, while Fishman won one gold and one bronze medal. Harr and Arredia each won bronze medals.

In order to even compete in the world championships, the students had to place in one of the top two positions in the national championships or qualify through the Junior Olympics.

Five students from Focus Martial Arts in Lake in the Hills participated on the U.S. National team and won. They include (from left) Kelly Arredia, Lindsey Willis, Rebecca Fishman, Zach Harr and Jamieson Allare. The team was comprised of 65 athletes throughout the country. Harr and Arredia both won one a bronze medal.

“We, by far, had the biggest group from one location (to qualify),” O’Hara said.

Even more qualified than went, roughly a half dozen or so, but not all could go because of school or other conflicts, he said.

A member of the U.S. team for 12 years himself, O’Hara said there is no bias when it comes to making the team. The students must qualify like everyone else throughout the country.

But what does make the difference for those at Focus Martial Arts, say the students, is the atmosphere.

“I think it’s the people here that make it feel like it’s a family,” said Fishman, who repeated her 2010 performance and won gold in Kumite, or fighting, and bronze in Kata, or form.

Fishman, along with her fellow students, trains at least four to five times a week. They practice at home as well.

“It takes a lot of dedication,” Fishman said. “You can’t just half-heartedly do it. To get to the nationals and the world championship, you have to practice a lot. You also have to be very

motivated to do it. If you’re not motivated, it isn’t there.”

Words such as motivation, dedication and self-descipline are mentioned by all the students as they talk about what it takes to reach the level they’ve reached in karate.

Yes, they might miss out on some activities others their age are doing, but to them, it’s worth it.

And their teammates have become their closest friends, they say.

“It’s always been that thing that’s there for me,” said Harr, who started karate about 12 years ago. “I’ve learned how to act respectful and improved my physical life and how healthy I am.”

Like many of the students, Willis, who competed in the world championship at the age of 13, started karate as an extracurricular activity, something to do to keep her active She had watched her older sister in classes and wanted to sign up as soon as she could, at age 4.

Continued from page 9 “I just wanted the girls to have confidence and protect themselves when they get older,” said her mother, Suzanne Willis.

For Lindsey, the activity became so much more, and the family’s schedule now revolves around trips to the dojo, and competitions.

“They have to really love what they do,” Suzanne Willis said. “There have been days when they don’t want to go ... Once they go, they’re happy they went.”

The skills they learn overflow in their lives, with the students also becoming the top of their classes academically, O’Hara said.

“It teaches you a lot,” Allare said. “It makes you disciplined, and you apply that to other aspects in life.”

All former competitors themselves, the coaches try to make training fun, challenging the students on different levels and cross-training so the days don’t become repetitive, O’Hara said.

The students learn visualizations skills, he said.

“We spend a lot of time on mental toughness, discipline, control, the ability to bring the heart rate down when you’re stressing because you’re competing,” he said.

“The single biggest nemesis that athletes have is themselves,” he said. “We have them focusing more on the point versus the gold

medal. The way we approach it is you can get a point, you can’t necessarily get a gold medal ... go for the point.”

Oddly enough, a competitor’s biggest distractions can be parents and coaches, he said. Students fear letting those people down, so they’re encouraged to focus on the things they can control, such as their techniques, he said.

Coaches and students work to identify each student’s gifts. Perhaps they’re more creative, disciplined or motivated. They then set goals based on those gifts, O’Hara said.

“Instead of saying, ‘I want to win a gold medal at a championship,’ we focus more on doing the best you can,” he said.

Whatever they’re doing, it’s working, said Jack Fishman, Rebecca’s father.

Rebecca actually didn’t like karate when she first tried it through another program at age four. She came home crying.

The family tried it again, and she fell in love with her coach as well as the sport, Jack Fishman said.

“It’s been a wonderful experience seeing her grow,” he said. “We’ve seen karate as having an amazing impact on her, in terms of her attitude toward adults.”

Even little things, such as the bow the students must do toward their sensei, make a difference, he said.

Along with respect comes discipline, he said.

“It shows what you have to do to work hard to achieve something,” he said.

The word ruby is derived from the Latin word rebeus meaning “red”. The ruby is among the most highly prized of gems throughout history. It is said that it combines Eros, sensual love, and Agape, spiritual love, and is therefore divine love in crystalized form. Rubies were thought to represent heat and power. Ancient tribes used the gem as bullets for blowguns, and it was said that a pot of water would boil instantly if a ruby was tossed into it. When the crystal is ground into a powder, it is placed on the tongue as used as a cure for indigestion.

Ruby is a member of the corundum family. Sapphires and rubies are exactly the same stone, with the only difference being the color. Ruby is colored by chromium where sapphire is colored by iron and titanium. Ruby is only red and ranges in hue from orangey red to a purplish red. Large rubies are very rare and very beautiful.

They are a 9 on the Mohs Hardness Scale and are heavier than a diamond. The most beautiful rubies are thought to be from Burma, but they can also be found in India, Sri Lanka, Australia, Kenya, Tanzania, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

It has been said that ruby’s red glow comes from an internal flame that cannot be extinguished, making a gift of this stone a symbol of everlasting love. It is said if it’s worn on the left hand, that the stone will bring good fortune to its wearer. Rubies are the wedding anniversary stone for the 40th wedding anniversary year.

Jeanne Phillips

Wife’s refusal to quit smoking clouds marriage Dear Abby: My husband and I have been married for eight years. When we married, we both drank and smoked.

My husband quit smoking five years ago, and I have continued to smoke off and on. If he catches me with a cigarette, it becomes an argument, and it’s either I quit or we’re done.

I love my husband, but I find it difficult to be honest about this. I don’t see the big deal if I smoke a cigarette. He sometimes makes me feel like a teenager hiding it from my parents. Any advice? – Closet Smoker In Wisconsin Dear Smoker: Surely you know smoking isn’t good for you, and it upsets your husband because he loves you.

This is less about a contest of wills than the fact you are addicted to nicotine and can’t stop using.

You’re an adult, not a naughty teenager, so stop acting like one. The cigarette is not your friend; your husband is. When you’re finally ready to

see it that way and overcome the habit, your physician can help you.

If you won’t do it for yourself, understand that after a former smoker has quit, the smell of secondhand smoke is extremely offensive. Or worse, it can tempt the former smoker to resume.

Dear Abby: My mom has no respect for my privacy. When something happens in my life, she shares it with all my relatives despite my repeatedly having asked her not to. She has a website where she rehashes nearly every moment of my life spent with my family and posts all of my pictures.

When I mention to her I would like my privacy respected, she gets upset and calls me ridiculous. I agree I’m probably demanding more privacy than normal, but I don’t feel she has a right to disseminate information about me if I ask her not to. How can I get her to stop? – Wants My Privacy

Dear Wants Your Privacy: Your mother may be posting your pictures and details of your life because she has been doing it for years. If you’re a teenager, please realize your mom may do this because she’s proud of you.

However, if you are an adult and no longer live under her roof, a way to get her to pull back, if not stop completely, would be to share less information with her.

Dear Abby: Since I was a teenager, I have always had an appreciation of and love for anything vintage. When my mother wasn’t able to sell her white milk-glass items in a rummage sale, I asked if I could please have them to display in an antique china cabinet.

My husband and I have admired the pieces, and I love knowing that they were once my mother’s.

My brother, who has never had any interest in vintage items and has a home that looks like a hoarder lives

there, wants one of the pieces because of an old picture of him near the piece.

I guess he must be feeling nostalgic.

Mother feels I should give it to him since he wants it.

I am torn as to why I must part with the piece to just be placed in a box – or worse. We enjoy all of the pieces and I’m feeling selfish. What should I do? –

Appreciates Anything Vintage Dear A.A.V.: Listen to your mother.

The milk glass was hers to begin with.

It won’t hurt you to let that one piece go, and the reason your brother would like to have it seems valid. Surely family harmony is as important to you as your glass collection.

Because you are having difficulty letting go, let me help you. One, two, three – GIVE!

‘Religious stuff’ keeps alcoholic from attending AA Dear Mr. Atwater: I’ve struggled with addiction problems most of my adult life.

My father was an alcoholic and died of drinking. Both my brothers have alcohol problems. One of them stopped drinking several years ago and hasn’t had a drop; the other went to Alcoholics Anonymous and is also doing well after almost five years.

I’ve tried to stop drinking and have only had temporary success. I’ve tried AA, but the religious stuff turns me off and I never get past that. I’m at the decision point again and wonder if you could give me some guidance about the best path to take.

Dear reader: I can only give you my observations as a substance abuse counselor.

That said, people can stop drinking, sometimes without any kind of treatment, for periods of time and sometimes for long periods of time. If the only goal you have is to stop

drinking as opposed to making changes in your life then “give it a go.” Most “self-stoppers” refrain for a period of time and then use their periods of abstinence as proof that a problem didn’t exist in the first place and if they are an alcoholic or alcohol dependent, they will restart the drinking, often with painful results.

Alcoholics Anonymous isn’t for everyone. Although, as I understand it, anyone with a desire to stop drinking is welcome. Again, as I

understand it, AA is a spiritual program. They make no bones about that, and I have seen many people struggle with the concepts of “coming to believe that a higher power can restore” them and being willing to “turn our will and lives over to a power greater than ourselves.” I also understand AA is very clear that you decide what/who your higher power is and that is entirely your decision as long as you can personally define, believe, trust and access that power.

I think it is said that if things were going so darn well using your own power (willpower), then we probably wouldn’t be having this conversation.

My experience is that a majority of newcomers to AA have to find a way over the “religious/spiritual vs. willpower” hurdle, and it is more a matter of willingness to try.

As I understand it, AA is about changing your way of life, which is much more than simply refraining from drinking.

Over time, AA has proven to be the most effective long-term treatment for alcoholism.

If you ask me, I’d always bet on the horse that wins consistently. Go to some more meetings and try asking people how they’ve gotten over the “religious” hump. Read some AA literature that explains this dilemma quite well and leaves plenty of room for all takers.

MINI-REVIEWS & LOCAL SHOWTIMES OF CURRENT MOVIES ON SCREEN NOW

“The Heat” HHH STARRING: Sandra Bullock, Melissa McCarthy, Marlon Wayans, Michael Rappaport PLOT: An uptight FBI special agent (Bullock) must partner with an out of control Boston PD detective (McCarthy) to capture a mysterious drug kingpin.

RATING: R for pervasive language, strong crude content and some violence TIME: 1 hour, 57 minutes VERDICT: A game Bullock joins with McCarthy and her “Bridesmaids” director Paul Feig in a raunchy female take on the buddy cop formula. As long as their opposing personalities clash, Bullock and McCarthy are hilarious. The formula dictates they eventually become friends, and the flint between the stars eases just as the cop story becomes predictable.

The third act disappoints, but the bickering that precedes it may make you laugh until you cannot breathe.

– Jeffrey Westhoff, Northwest Herald

“Man of Steel” HH

STARRING: Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Russell Crowe PLOT: While still coming to grips with his powers and reeling from the revelation that he is an alien from the planet Krypton, novice superhero Clark Kent (Cavill) must face a war criminal (Shannon) from his home world, a villain with all of Superman’s powers but none of his morality.

RATING: PG-13 for intense sequences of science-fiction violence, action and destruction, and for some language TIME: 2 hours, 23 minutes VERDICT: After 2006’s bland “Superman Returns” failed to reignite the most venerable of superhero franchises, Warner Bros. and director Zack Snyder (“300”) try to shake up the hero’s mythos with a reboot that takes bold liberties with his origin story. Most of Snyder’s decisions are completely wrong for the stolid character. He creates a jittery, harsh and loud would-be blockbuster, a boilerplate alien invasion tale that happens to include Superman. The few times Cavill is permitted to act like Superman, he is endearingly, quietly heroic. Cavill doesn’t deserve David S. Goyer’s overwrought script and Snyder’s wrongheaded direction. – Jeffrey Westhoff, Northwest

“Monsters University” HHH

“THE BLING RING”

STARRING: Voices of Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Helen Mirren PLOT: Years before working at Monsters Inc., Mike (Crystal) and Sulley (Goodman) are rival freshmen at Monsters University. A crisis in their academic career forces them to become partners, but can they become friends?

RATING: G TIME: 1 hour, 42 minutes VERDICT: This prequel to the 2001 Pixar gem “Monsters Inc.” is a solid and affable family comedy. It lacks the originality and heart of the early Pixar features, problems that have been niggling at the studio lately. Overall this is a spoof of campus comedies, “Revenge of the Nerds” in particular, and it generates a good deal of laughs with the inept members of Mike and Sulley’s fraternity. This prequel is fine for what it is. It’s just difficult to forget what Pixar movies once were.

Regal Cinemas – 11:05 a.m., 10:55 p.m.

– Jeffrey Westhoff, Northwest Herald

“White House Down” HH

STARRING: Channing Tatum, Jamie Foxx, Maggie Gyllenhaal PLOT: While on a tour of the White House with his young daughter, a Capitol policeman springs into action to save his child and protect the president from a heavily armed group of paramilitary invaders.

RATING: PG-13 for prolonged sequences of action and violence including intense gunfire and explosions, some language and a brief sexual image TIME: 2 hours, 17 minutes VERDICT: Staggeringly implausible, cartoonishly comical, Roland Emmerich’s “White House Down” is refreshingly dumb. Refreshing because carefree action absurdity, once the province of the summer cinema, is on the outs. Solemnity – even for caped, flying men in tight-fitting trousers – is in. But there’s an inarguable, senseless pleasure in watching Jamie Foxx, as the president of the United States, kicking a terrorist and shouting: “Get your hands off my Jordans!”

Hail to the chief, indeed. “White House Down” follows Antoine Fuqua’s “Olympus Has Fallen,” released in March, as the second movie this year to imagine an assault on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The two films are very similarly plotted, but “White House Down” is notably less serious, more content to loosen the strings and acknowledge its own inherent preposterousness. – By Jake Coyle,

16 Summer

can inspire decor all year

By MELISSA RAYWORTH The Associated Press

T

he sun-drenched colors and inviting textures of summer provide plenty of decorating ideas.

The trick is doing it right: A summerinspired interior can become a tacky, tropical disaster if it’s done with too heavy a hand.

But with a light touch and strategic choices, your home can be brightened all year long by the fleeting beauty of summer.

Above all, “do not be literal with summer,” said Los Angeles-based designer Betsy Burnham.

Avoid putting up a sign that says, “Gone Fishin’” or displaying a collection of seashells on a table, she says.

Instead, try examining the colors inside a handful of shells, then decorating a room in those shades. Or upholster one piece of furniture in crisp, summery linen, rather than slip-covering an entire room that way.

Designer Joe Lucas of Lucas Studio in West Hollywood, Calif., agrees: A life preserver with the words “To the Beach” painted on it may not be something you want to hang up, he says, even if you really live a block from the beach. But a mix of sand-colored paint and ocean blue fabrics can be a tasteful reminder of summers by the shore.

Here, Burnham, Lucas and decordemon.com founder Brian Patrick Flynn offer tips on successfully using summer as your design inspiration.

SUMMER IS RELAXATION “Summery interiors are best described as relaxed,” Flynn said. “While autumnal and wintry spaces are packed with rich velvets and earthy palettes, summery spaces are super-light, unstructured and pretty darn casual.”

Flynn uses deliberate contrast to point up that casual feeling: “I like to juxtapose super-relaxed elements such as slipcovers or bedding made from washed linen with super-tailored elements such as tailored tartan or pinstripe accents. The result is preppy, but still casual.”

SUMMER IS DISTINCTIVE COLORS One option is a palette of muted summer colors (sandy beiges, soft driftwood grays, nautical blues), which can be used throughout a room without overpowering it.

Lucas is a fan of very pale gray wall colors that include just a hint of green or blue. They look great alongside natural, pale wood furniture.

Flynn recommends “washed-out blue” wall colors, such as “Krypton” by Sherwin-Williams or “Drenched Rain” by Dunn-Edwards. “Blues with the perfect amount of gray in them tend to be timeless and also work as ‘new neutrals’ – colors with tons of personality which tend to work well with almost every other hue out there, as opposed to boring beiges and taupes.”

These muted blues pair beautifully with white, he says: “The mix of blue and white together is totally timeless, plus it can be mixed up in many different ways to update the look. Almost all colors accent blue and white well.”

The other summery option is to go vivid, using grassy greens, geranium reds, deep corals and the teal of tropical waters. Done right, these colors can elevate the look of a room.

This interior design shows a bar with a beach inspired design. The sun-drenched colors and windswept beachfront textures of summer provide ample inspiration for indoor decorating.

“I’m a huge fan of teal and coral,” Flynn said. “I especially love them together, since it strikes the perfect balance of feminine and masculine.”

But tread carefully. To balance out these saturated colors, Burnham suggests bringing in plenty of crisp white.

Also, Flynn avoids using very intense yellows, “probably because growing up in Florida, yellow was pretty much everywhere I looked, from the sun to home’s exteriors to convertibles to swimsuits.”

SUMMER IS PAINTED WOOD “People always think that they have to have their wood finished in a stain,” Burnham says.

“Why not a painted finish? Paint your bookcases white... It’s summery, but livable year-round. Or try painting a floor somewhere in your house, like a guest room floor.”

Lucas agrees: “We’re always pushing clients to paint out their dark cabinets,” he says. “Everyone thinks their library has to be stained a rich mahogany or dark walnut,” but there are better approaches. “Paint it an off-blue-grey or lacquer it a fun, brighter color.”

SUMMER IS NATURAL TEXTURES “Summery textures really make you want to curl up, kick your sandals off, and just escape with a book or magazine,” Flynn said. “I use tons of linen in summer-inspired spaces, as well as cotton and textured wovens.” Also, he says, “sea grass and sisal are other summery textures which will never go out of style.”

The key with these materials, said Burnham, is

moderation. Materials like rope or weathered wood are great “as long as you don’t have a room full of any of those items. One sisal carpet, a rattan chair or a rattan seat on a wood chair,” is all you need, says Burnham.

Also, “glass is summery,” she said, “but not cut glass. Not Waterford crystal. Just really simple, New England looking pieces. Really simple glassware on a shelf.”

Lucas points out that grasscloth is also both summery and stylish, as are faux bois (wood grain painted on a nonwood surface) and faux shagreen (artificial shark skin).

SUMMER IS WHIMSICAL Lucas suggests experimenting with just a touch of summer silliness. “There are some really fun wallpapers,” he said, such as Katie Ridder’s crab pattern in a pale salmon color, that are “definitely inspired by nature and the sea.”

“Yes,” he said, “it’s ‘theme-y,’ but she does them in all sort of kooky colors” that bring a chic sense of irony to summer decorating. “You do a dining room in that, or a powder room in that,” Lucas says, “and it’s got a much more fun, light and airy look.”

No matter your personal style or geographic location, Flynn said summer can serve as inspiration.

“Whether you’re into the less-is-more approach and want to stick with muted blues, whites and sand tones, or prefer the high-energy, Caribbeancolored side of summer,” he said, “there’s certain to be something out there for you.”
