RYSTAL LAKE – Excited, 5-year-old Declan Malone told the class at the Crystal Lake Nature Center what he knows about rocks. “When you smash them with a hammer, they break into pieces and dust,” the Crystal Lake boy said. The class is just one example of the sprucing up of summer programming being done by park districts and city parks and recreation departments throughout the county, offering new classes and expanding existing offerings. The Crystal Lake Park District has had a flurry of interest in its programs and ran out of summer brochures within a month. The “Rock On!” class, for instance, has been offered for the past three years, but this was the first time enough people signed up to run it, outdoor education supervisor Jess Day said.

Lexi Yeates, 10, of Crystal Lake listens to scary stories around the campfire during the Young Explorers Summer Day Camp at Veteran Acres Park. Declan, along with the seven other kids enrolled in “Rock On!”, learned multiple facts about rocks, such as how to describe them. They tested the shapes by throwing them down the steep hill next to the Nature Center – and then scrambling down after them to retrieve them. They discovered which ones were soft and which ones couldn’t

be scraped by a penny or the head of a screw. They described the rocks’ colors and then dunked them in water to see whether they changed. They learned about the different ways rocks are formed and looked at fossils, including a piece of the exoskeleton of an arthropleura, a

HIGH

CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn suspended Illinois lawmakers’ pay Wednesday, following through on his warning of consequences if they failed to come up with a solution to the state’s nearly $100 billion pension crisis, the worst of any state nationwide. The Chicago Democrat said he used his line-item veto power in a budget bill that was on his desk, and vowed to not accept a salary himself until a deal has been reached. Lawmakers, who receive an annual salary of $68,000 and additional pay for leadership positions, would have to vote to reject his changes if they want to get paid. Quinn, who has made pension reform his main focus for nearly two years, said he wanted to spur lawmakers into action.

The 41-year-old is speaking out after being denied a library card by the local library – and his voice just might bring about a change. For years, the Woodstock Public Library has turned away men and women with the address of the PADS transitional home, where the homeless can stay for up to two years.

GENERAL INFORMATION: 815-459-4040

Kicked out of a club he resisted joining Like many fields, the practice of journalism forces one to catch up on technological advances quickly. Curmudgeons and dinosaurs get left in the tar pits. Social media initially irritated me, although I eventually was dragged along – first to Facebook several years ago. It was only months ago that I finally leaped off the Twitter ledge. It’s not the medium that bothered me. This is the information business – the more means of communication the better. It was the volume of information a newspaper editor is already required to process in a given day. Fewer than six browser windows open and a smartphone more than 3 feet away means I’m doing it wrong. At any moment, we’re monitoring The Associated Press feed, responding to fires and police activities, speaking with readers and sources, checking other news sites, updating our own website, emailing, texting, tweeting and posting to Facebook. Attention deficit disorder isn’t an affliction in this business; it’s a requirement.

8LOTTERY

VIEWS Kevin Lyons So while I tweeted Northwest Herald links to stories, I held out for as long as I could before creating my own Twitter account. I finally caved in and have mostly enjoyed the experience. Twitter is a great tool for breaking news and basic communication. Unlike Facebook, which I reserve for friends and family, most of the people I follow on Twitter are other journalists, advocacy groups, public officials, colleagues, friends or just random people in our coverage area who tolerate my rather dark sense of humor. I particularly enjoyed following fans and writers during the Blackhawks’ championship run and was fascinated by the speed of information in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings. The Twitterverse was made for

journalism nerds – a club to which I thought I belonged until Tuesday brought the unthinkable. When I went to check Twitter for a news item, I learned that Twitter had suspended my account for unstated reasons. Suspended. In the penalty box, although I felt no shame. If you looked for me on Twitter, despite a few hundred followers and about 1,000 tweets, I no longer existed. My digital footprint was obliterated. My Twitter profile trapped in the Phantom Zone and presumed to be flinging through cyberspace like the villains in “Superman 2.” I’d admittedly never read the Twitter rules, but on Tuesday I read them all. For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out any rule I’d violated. Yet there I remained. Twitterless. Twitter obviously didn’t realize who they’d suspended. This wasn’t just about me. There are literally dozens of followers depending on my inane observations and tepidly witty remarks on the news of the day. How can they be expected to sort through

the headlines without them? Didn’t the people at Twitter realize that I had snarky things to say about Justin Bieber touching the Stanley Cup while standing on the Indian head logo Tuesday night? Who could possibly fill that Internet void in my absence? Surely they can’t expect such pearls to be slumming it on Facebook. As I wrote this column, I finally got a response from Twitter that my account was mistakenly lumped in with some spam accounts they were exterminating. Delusions that my tweets were important enough to censor were dashed. But for nearly 24 hours, like Captain Ahab brandishing a harpoon at the Fail Whale, I remained in Twitter exile.

Investigators look into pairing of Asiana pilots By MARTHA MENDOZA The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO – As Flight 214 descended over San Francisco Bay, both Asiana Airlines pilots were in new roles. In the left seat of the cockpit sat Lee Gang-kuk, a 46-year-old pilot with just 35 hours of experience flying a Boeing 777 who was landing the big jet for his first time at San Francisco International Airport. At his right was Lee Jeong-Min, a trainer making his first trip as an instructor pilot.

Count on Me...

Andrew Killinger

While the two men had years of aviation experience, this mission involved unfamiliar duties, and it was the first time they had flown together. The flight came to a tragic end when the airliner crash-landed Saturday, killing two passengers and injuring many others. Experts say investigators trying to piece together what went wrong will consider, among other factors, the pairing of the pilots, who were assigned to work together through a system developed after several deadly crashes

in the 1980s were blamed in part on inexperience in the cockpit. The National Transportation Safety Board “is definitely going to focus on what type of policy Asiana had in terms of crew pairing,” former NTSB Chairman James Hall said. “That’s what the airline needs to do, be responsible so that in the cockpit you’re matching the best people, especially when you’re introducing someone to a new aircraft.” Massachusetts Institute of Technology aeronautics professor Mary Cummings said

it’s common for two commercial pilots to be assigned to the same flight without ever working together before. Airlines have standardized, formal procedures to facilitate teams of strangers. The military tries to have crews work together more permanently, she said. “Research would tell you that crew pairing with the same people over longer periods of time is safer,” she said. “When two people fly together all the time, you get into a routine that’s more efficient. You have experience communicating.”

Ill. grapples with deploying conceal-carry law The ASSOCIATED PRESS EDWARDSVILLE – Across Illinois, residents are welcoming the chance to finally pack a gun – and some are even asking a federal court for permission to start toting weapons next week, rather than waiting months for the state to implement its newly approved concealed carry law. Even before lawmakers

overrode Gov. Pat Quinn’s objections to the nation’s last gun-carry law on Tuesday, the focus had begun to turn to the challenges for authorities and business owners in making the measure work before the first permits are issued. But the ink had barely dried on the new law before gun-rights hero Mary Shepard, whose lawsuit led to passage of Illinois’ carry mea-

sure, went back to federal court Wednesday seeking to start carrying next Tuesday. Her motion, backed by the Illinois State Rifle Association, argues that an unconstitutional ban on packing pistols remains because it will be as long as nine months before the first carry permits are approved in Illinois. A federal appeals court ruled on Shepard’s and an-

other case in December and lawmakers dawdled until this week, Shepard argues. “Given the opportunity (and ample time) to act promptly to remedy its violation of the Constitution, the state of Illinois instead procrastinated,” the motion reads. Some authorities have in the past month agreed with the interpretation, allowing

citizens to start carrying guns or at least announcing they wouldn’t be prosecuted if they did, because the Illinois prohibition had been declared unconstitutional. One place that happened is Madison County, outside St. Louis, where the state’s attorney announced he would stop prosecuting locals for carrying concealed weapons, within certain rules.

Boston suspect pleads not guilty Metra agency defends costly buyout of ex-CEO

The ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON – His arm in a cast and his face swollen, a blase-looking Dzhokhar Tsarnaev pleaded not guilty Wednesday in the Boston Marathon bombing in a seven-minute proceeding that marked his first appearance in public since his capture in mid-April. As survivors of the bombing looked on, Tsarnaev, 19, gave a small, lopsided smile to his two sisters upon arriving in the courtroom. He appeared to have a jaw injury and there was swelling around his left eye and cheek. Leaning into the microphone, he told a federal judge, “Not guilty” in his Russian accent and said it over and over as the charges were read. Then he was led away in handcuffs, making a kissing gesture toward his family with his lips. One of his sisters sobbed loudly, resting her head on a woman seated next to her. Tsarnaev, who has been hospitalized since his capture with wounds suffered in a shootout and getaway attempt, faces 30 federal charges, including using a weapon of mass destruction to kill, in connection with the April 15 attack that left three people dead and more than 260 wounded. He could get the death penalty if prosecutors choose to pursue it.

Tsarnaev family members and others depart the federal courthouse Wednesday in Boston following the arraignment of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. The proceedings took place in a heavily guarded courtroom packed not only with victims but with their families, police officers, and members of the public and the media. The Russian immigrant and former college student looked much as he did in a photo widely circulated after his arrest, his hair curly and unkempt. Wearing an orange prison jumpsuit, he appeared nonchalant, almost bored, during the hearing. The cast covered his left forearm, hand and fingers. The bombing victims showed little reaction in the courtroom after a federal marshal warned them

against any outbursts. Liz Norden, the mother of two men who lost their right legs in the bombings, said afterward: “I actually felt sick to my stomach.” MIT Police Chief John DiFava, who was also in the courtroom, said Tsarnaev looked “smug.” “I didn’t see a lot of remorse. I didn’t see a lot of regret,” he said. “It just seemed to me that if I was in that position, I would have been a lot more nervous, certainly scared.” DiFava added: “I just wanted to see him. I wanted to see the person that so coldly and callously killed four people, one of whom being an officer of mine.”

CHICAGO – The chairman of Metra, one of the largest commuter rail agencies in the country, on Wednesday defended a costly buyout of its former executive director against criticism that it represents a shocking misuse of taxpayer money. Threats of a lawsuit by former CEO Alex Clifford if his contract were not renewed forced the agency into months of negotiations and finally mediation that produced a deal under which Clifford could reap as much as $718,000, Metra Chairman Brad O’Halloran said. The expense is far less than the millions needed to go to court, he said in an appearance before the Regional Transportation Authority, which has financial oversight of transit networks in northeastern Illinois. “Neither I nor any of our directors who voted for this deal liked it,” O’Halloran said. “But we liked the alternatives less.. ... We have more important things to do than fight a lawsuit.”

CHAMPAIGN – Chickens will soon be welcome in backyards across Champaign. The City Council voted Tuesday to end a ban on keeping chickens in the city limits and ordered staff members to draw up regulations. The move will allow city residents to keep hens in their backyards for egg production. According to The News-Gazette, Mayor Don Gerard said he received more emails from constituents on the chicken issue than any tax issue that’s come up in his first term.

CHICAGO – Twenty-five couples who filed a lawsuit challenging Illinois’ ban on gay marriage asked a judge on Wednesday to rule quickly in their favor, saying a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down part of a law denying federal benefits to married gay couples creates a new urgency in the state. Illinois legalized civil unions two years ago, but the recent Supreme Court decision applies only to married gay couples. Lambda Legal and the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois filed a motion for summary judgment in Cook County Circuit Court. They said Judge Sophia Hall could rule on the motion as soon as Aug. 6, when oral arguments are scheduled on a defense motion to dismiss the lawsuit.

The costly internal battle between Metra’s board and its former CEO has added to the woes of a transit agency that, like others across the country, is struggling to make improvements and keep its vast network in working order. Tough economic times, high borrowing costs and a divided Congress have forced public transit agencies around the country into a scramble for cash. In the midst of that crunch, the large severance package for Clifford announced on June 21 angered state lawmakers who decried the blow to taxpayers from an agency still trying to move forward after Clifford’s predecessor was accused of defrauding Metra out of about $475,000. Lawmakers will hold their own session Thursday to question O’Halloran, and perhaps Clifford. O’Halloran’s remarks were the first public comments on the severance negotiations and the falling out with Clifford, who was hired a little over two years ago to help turn the agency around after the scandal involving its former director.

As lawmakers meet, Bush enters immigration debate The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Divided on immigration, House Republicans bluntly challenged President Barack Obama’s willingness to secure the nation’s borders on Wednesday, and appeared unimpressed by George W. Bush’s advice to carry a “benevolent spirit” into a debate that includes a possible path to citizenship for millions. Emerging from a closeddoor meeting, GOP leaders affirmed a step-by-step approach to immigration but offered neither specifics nor a timetable – nor any mention of possible citizenship for an estimated 11 million immigrants living in the country unlawfully. Instead, in a written state-

ment noting that the White House recently delayed a key part of the health care law, Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and other leaders said the action raised concerns that the administration “cannot be trusted to deliver on its promises to secure the border and enforce laws as part of a single, massive bill like the one passed by the Senate.” Lawmakers streaming out of the two-hour meeting said Bush’s long-distance advice had not come up in a discussion that focused instead on the importance of securing the nation’s borders and a general distrust of Obama. The former president’s ability to sway a new generation of House conservatives was a matter of considerable doubt, especially because

many of the tea party-backed lawmakers have risen to power since he left the White House and are strongly on record in opposition to any citizenship provision. “We care what people back home say, not what some former president says,” declared Rep. Tim Huelskamp, a second-term Kansas Republican who has clashed with the party leadership in the House. Still, the timing and substance of Bush’s remarks were reminders that many national party leaders feel Republicans must broaden their appeal among Hispanic voters to compete successfully in future presidential elections. President Barack Obama took more than 70 percent of their votes in winning a second term last fall.

8WORLD BRIEF

Train crash death toll now at 20, likely to rise LAC-MEGANTIC, Quebec – Canadian officials are now telling the families of the 30 people missing in a runaway oil train crash over the weekend that all are presumed dead. With 20 bodies found, that

would put the death toll from Saturday’s derailment and explosions at 50. The head of the U.S. railway company whose oil train crashed into the Quebec town has blamed the engineer for failing to set the brakes properly. A fire on the train just hours

before the crash is also being investigated. Parts of the devastated town had been too hot and dangerous to enter and find bodies even days after the disaster. Some 60 had been presumed missing earlier.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CAIRO – Egypt’s military-backed government tightened a crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood on Wednesday, ordering the arrest of its revered leader in a bid to choke off the group’s campaign to reinstate President Mohammed Morsi one week after an army-led coup. The Brotherhood denounced the warrants for the arrest of Mohammed Badie and nine other leading Islamists for inciting violence Monday that left dozens dead, saying “dictatorship is back” and vowing it will never work with the interim rulers. Leaders of the Brotherhood are believed to be taking refuge near a continuing sit-in by its supporters at the Rabaah al-Adawiya Mosque in eastern Cairo, but it is not clear if Badie is there. The Brotherhood is outraged by

Security agencies have already jailed five leaders of the Brotherhood, including Badie’s deputy, Khairat el-Shaiter, and shut down its media

Remain safe around water Monday’s canoeing accident in Harvard is a painful reminder of the dangers children face in and around bodies of water. Three cousins were fishing in a canoe in a retention pond when the boat tipped over. Twelve-year-old Christian Robles died. It is presumed he drowned. The two other boys – ages 12 and 10 – were not hurt. One was saved because of neighbor Tyler Kurth, who swam into the pond and rescued him. For the record According to the Centers for Water and children can be a Disease Control deadly combination, whether and Prevention, in a bathtub, swimming pool, about 10 people pond, lake or river. in the U.S. die every day from unintentional drowning. Of these, two are children aged 14 or younger. Drowning ranks fifth among the leading causes of unintentional injury death in the U.S. Children between the ages of 1 and 4 have the highest drowning rates, and drowning is responsible for more deaths among children that age than any other cause except birth defects. The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services said 21 Illinois children drowned in 2012 – 10 in pools, six in lakes, two in ponds, two in rivers, and one in a bathtub. Water and children can be a deadly combination, whether in a bathtub, swimming pool, pond, lake or river. But there are steps you can take to keep your child safer, and DCFS does a good job laying out those precautions. With swimming pools, appoint an adult who can swim to watch children while they are in the pool. The supervising adult should not read, talk on the phone, mow the lawn, leave or turn his or her back on the pool area. Keep ladders, patio furniture and toys away from above-ground pools. Fence in your pool completely and install a self-closing, self-latching gate. Young children should wear or use personal flotation devices, but these devices do not replace adult supervision. When in a lake or river, children should always wear life vests when swimming. Swimming across a lake or river is not like swimming in a pool, and it’s easy to misjudge the water. It is unsafe to dive head-first into the water because it might be too shallow. Stay out of murky or fast-moving water because of hidden dangers. In the bathroom, never leave a young child alone in a bathtub or allow a sibling to watch a younger child. If you need to leave the bathroom, take your child with you. Infant bathtubs and bathtub seats are bathing aids, not safety devices.

Video illustrates grace It is so good to see them again, healing and happier, and finally in control of their lives. The three-minute, 31-second video that Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight and their families released is a gracious, brave, empowering testimony of thanks and progress. It is done on their terms, in their words, in a safe place far, far away from the public and media circus that threatened to engulf them after their escape from a decade in captivity. It should be taken in that spirit by those who view it. These women survived unimaginable horrors at the hands of alleged kidnapper, rapist and murderer Ariel Castro. The Cleveland Plain Dealer

say on the decline.

To the Editor: Imagine you cannot drive (because you have epilepsy) and live in an area with no transportation, except for a dial-a-ride. Now imagine having to call at 6 a.m. the previous day so you can arrange to be able to come home from work the following day. Then imagine the reservation you had for that day did not show up. How Pace dial-a-ride can do this to people who are just trying to make a living is beyond me. I have to tell my boss that I can’t come in the next day because at 6 a.m. dial-a-ride said they were booked already – despite the fact they will not take any reservations any sooner than 6 a.m. I have had to resort to having my retired neighbor giving me a lift home. But I should not have to. I long for the days when companies big and small cared about their customers instead of sticking it to them because they can.

Senior Classic golf To the Editor: I want to thank the Northwest Herald for choosing to cover a community event like our Senior Classic golf tournament. On behalf of the 61 senior golfers who played in the event, thanks for the great coverage. The pictures that coincided with each article, the pre-tourney buildup, and each day’s review were all nice to see, and I am sure a source of pride to the players, especially the ones who were lucky enough to get mentioned or photographed. I would also like to invite all of the area senior golfers to come out next year and join the fun. The event is open to any amateur golfer who is 50 years old or older. This year the handicaps of the players ranged from one to 22, and were flighted according to handicap. So as the handicaps indicated, it doesn’t take a great player to enjoy this fun two-day event. With a county that is filled with so many golf courses and so many players who are over 50, it seems hard to understand why this event can’t attract more that 60 to 70 golfers each year. While we are on the subject of golf, I also want to encourage everyone to “play golf America.”

Not about rights To the Editor: Homosexual rights? The question is not about rights. It is about authority. Are you willing to be subject to the authority of God? If you are not willing to be subject to the authority of God, then you are bound only by the statutes and laws of men. It has been stated that “we are all God’s children, and he loves us all.” That we are his children is true. That he loves us all is not true. God said, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated,” (Rom 9:13). Jacob was subject to God. Esau was subject to no one. God is not duplicitous.

He cannot tell us that certain behaviors are unacceptable, and, at the same time, tell us that they are acceptable. Thinking that God will accept you regardless of your ongoing rebellious behavior is childish at best and self-destructive at its worst. However, if you are willing to be subject to the authority of God, you are bound by a higher law, which is plainly stated in the scriptures. The Bible in several places says that homosexuals are not acceptable to God. In I Corinthians 6:9-10, Paul states, “Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.” I Timothy 1:9-10 is similar and adds murderers, kidnappers, liars and perjurers to the list.

Better late than never in examining Medicaid program SPRINGFIELD – Imagine walking into a government office, asking for $5,000 and being handed a check – without anyone bothering to verify whether you qualify for the money. That’s how the state has been managing its Medicaid program for years. While nobody actually gets handed a check, they receive a benefit with a value of about $5,000 – and a real cost to taxpayers. Folks who apply for the health insurance program, which is reserved for low-income folks, are granted the coverage, but not enough has been done to ensure recipients are answering questions truthfully to determine whether they really qualify. For some, basic questions are never verified, including: How much do applicants really earn? Do they really live in Illinois? Are they U.S. citizens? Ever since the Medicaid program began expanding under former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, Republican lawmakers, in particular, have been

waving the red flag and crying, “Are all of these folks really eligible?” Blagojevich was dismissive of the concern. Our current governor, Pat Quinn, has given the matter lip service, and it has taken him four long years to do anything. What he has done so far is inadequate. Just ask Illinois Auditor General Bill Holland, who uncovered major problems with the program. “When the first batch of enrollees were reviewed, they found about 60 percent weren’t eligible for the program,” said state Rep. Patti Bellock, R-Hinsdale. “That says to me there is a major problem with the administration of this program. “The bipartisan committee I was on predicted that if the administration did a full scrubbing of the Medicaid rolls, they would find 300,000 people enrolled who weren’t eligible. Taking these people off of the Medicaid rolls would save $350 million.” Jonathan Ingram, a senior fellow at the Illinois Policy Institute, said

VIEWS Scott Reeder there are many things that make the Illinois Medicaid system attractive to out-of-staters. “Eligibility here in Illinois is broader than in most of our neighboring states,” Ingram said. “So it makes it attractive for people to enroll here who actually live elsewhere.” Also, Ingram said, little is done to weed out citizens from other countries unlawfully residing in the U.S. from being a part of the Medicaid system – for which they are not eligible. But now the Quinn administration wants to do something about all of the people illegally gaming the system. It has signed a contract with a firm that will carefully examine each person’s eligibility to receive Medicaid.

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

“I honestly think the reason the Quinn administration is finally doing something is because the bond houses are putting a great deal of pressure on him to reform pensions and the Medicaid system,” Bellock said. Regardless of why the Quinn administration is taking action – or at least trying to – it is clear its efforts have hit a snag that could cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. And that snag has a name: the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. The government workers union doesn’t like Quinn having an outside firm scrubbing Medicaid rolls. It thinks that work ought to be done by state workers, who would just happen to belong to – you guessed it – AFSCME. Never mind that the state does not have the workforce or the technology to get the job done. AFSCME smells potential new membership dues pouring into its coffers – if the state is forced to hire more workers.

The administration has signed a two-year contract with Maximus Health Services, an outfit specializing in this type of work. But now that $76 million contract is in danger because an arbitrator recently ruled that the state couldn’t hire the Virginia-based firm. The arbitrator said the administration should use state union workers instead. “That doesn’t make any sense,” Bellock said. “These are the same people who enrolled these ineligible people in the first place.” Hopefully Quinn has the good sense to appeal the arbitrator’s ruling. Or, better yet, the General Assembly ought to pass a law making it clear that such contracts with outside firms are legal. After all, our cash-strapped state doesn’t have a dime to waste. • Scott Reeder is a veteran statehouse reporter and the journalist in residence at the Illinois Policy Institute.

Huntley Park District to help offer music festival • CAMPS Continued from page A1 giant relative of the centipede that could grow to 8.5 feet long. And they wrapped up the class by mining chocolate chips from cookies. The fast-paced class keeps the kids moving from place to place for the hour, managing to keep even a 5-year-old’s attention, said Declan’s father, John Malone. “We both had fun,” he said. “It was a cute class. [Day] did a good job teaching.” Day also runs a class designed to teach younger children about soil. Kids make mud pies while learning about the different soils and what they’re used for, he said. Crystal Lake isn’t the only park district offering programs to keep kids busy this summer. The Tween Night at Woodstock Water Works brings in between 150 and 175 fifththrough eight-graders every Wednesday, program coordinator Becky Vidales said. One week “Jaws” was shown, another week a DJ was brought in, and another week had a glow-in-the-dark theme. “It’s just someplace for tweens to go in the evenings,” Vidales said. “There’s no parents and no little kids. They have the place to themselves.” The Huntley Park District is teaming up with the nonprofit A Place to Shine Music to offer a new music festival planned for July 20, part of expanded concert programming this year, said David Genty, the park district’s supervisor of marketing and special events. In the past, three concerts were held each summer in Deicke Park, he said. This year, the park district is branching out, bringing performances to the different neighborhoods and adding more concerts.

Genty had heard so many covers – he doesn’t know how many times he’s heard Journey covers at summer festivals – that the new Discovery Music Fest is designed to feature original singer-songwriters. “Music is one of those things that you hear wherever you go,” Genty said. “You walk down the street and you hear music. This is a chance to give up-and-coming musicians a chance to share their work, their art. It’s all original works, no covers.” The Marengo Park District’s new recreation director, Kurt LaPak, took the reins in October, and one of the programs he added is the youth fishing program, as well as a roller hockey class that just finished up. He’s also trying to add more art classes to make up for some of the programs being cut in schools. “I’m in charge of programs, and I’m a fisherman. I figured if I’m going to teach a class, it might as well be something I enjoy,” said LaPak, who said he learned how to fish from his dad and that a lot of fathers don’t have time to take their kids fishing anymore. When the class started in June, he taught the kids about knot tying and how to cast reels. A few weeks later, five boys, ages 8 to 12, were braving the rain at the Rush Creek Conservation Area in Harvard, hoping to catch the largemouth bass, bluegill and green sunfish stocked in the pond. Kyle Norcutt, 8, learned how to fish from his father and uncle. “I like the way the fish kicks to the right and then the other way,” the Riley Elementary School student said. He picked the fishing club and an engineering class – kids learn about simple machines using Legos – from the summer brochure mailed to his home.

Comptroller to check legality of pay freeze • PENSIONS Continued from page A1 could make an already politically difficult situation worse. The Democratic-controlled General Assembly has been unable to agree on how to address the pension shortfall, despite years of trying. State Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, a frequent critic of Quinn, said he did not oppose the pay freeze, but blasted Quinn for what he alleges is a chronic lack of leadership from him on the issues. “The governor has not led, and that’s why we find ourselves in this situation. I believe the governor has been negligent in his duties. Some might say that Gov. Quinn is sitting on the bench when it comes to the pension reform efforts – but the sad truth is that he isn’t even near the playing field,” Franks said in a statement. Rep. Mike Tryon, R-Crystal Lake, said Quinn has provided no leadership and no

• LIBRARY Continued from page A1 Library Director Nick Weber said the ban was enacted about 10 years ago after several PADS residents checked out materials, then moved out never to be heard from again. “We had no recourse for getting our material or any of the fines that were due,” Weber said. The library has allowed PADS residents to use library books and computers while inside the building, but they can’t check out items.

ideas on pension reform. “It’s like a return to the past years of [former Gov. Rod] Blagojevich, and the inability of the governor to communicate and work well with the Legislature,” Tryon said. Republican Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka said Wednesday she’s seeking a legal review to determine if what Quinn did is constitutional. Illinois has nearly $100 billion in unfunded pension liability because lawmakers either skipped or shorted payments to the state’s five retirement systems for decades. Inaction on solving the problem has led to repeated credit rating downgrades while governors from other states have used it as a basis to poach jobs from Illinois. Quinn set numerous hard deadlines, including two special sessions, for lawmakers to resolve the crisis, but none have produced any results. Members of a bipartisan

panel charged with finding a compromise blew past another deadline Tuesday, saying they needed more time to crunch numbers and try to work out a deal that can get legislative approval. Quinn had warned there would be consequences for lawmakers although he had not outlined what he planned to do. “I’ve tried everything in the book to get their attention,” he said. “But it’s time now for the legislature to legislate.” The lawmakers’ next paychecks are due Aug. 1, so if they don’t act by then, they won’t get paid. Quinn said Illinois taxpayers have paid for legislators’ lack of action on the pension crisis. Taxpayers had to pay at least $130 million extra in interest payments for a bond sale last month because of the lowered credit ratings. “I think the taxpayers are on my side here,” Quinn said. The governor’s actions come as he prepares for a

2014 re-election bid, and desperately needs to either resolve the biggest issue facing the state or deflect the blame for not getting a pension solution through the Legislature. Taking on the General Assembly also could be a way for Quinn, who has seen his approval ratings sink, to further stress the populist, political outsider credentials on which he has successfully campaigned in other elections. Former White House chief of staff Bill Daley has said he’ll challenge the governor in a Democratic primary, and at least four Republicans have said they will try to unseat him. Quinn cut about $13.8 million – the amount allocated for lawmaker salaries – from a larger budget bill that gives the Illinois comptroller the ability to issue paychecks to state employees.

Bachelor of Science degree in business administration from DeVry University, and he likes to check out coding books to stay up on the latest in the tech world. But when he provided his ID to get a library card, an attendant saw the address and turned him away, he said. “It was really embarrassing. I was there, and there are people behind me,” Cron said. “I felt like a second-rate citizen, even though I’m paying my taxes and I’m doing what I got to do here.” Sarah Kotz, PADS transitional home case manager, said others at the house have had similar experiences. Weber said the issue was never one of discrimination. Rather, the library was keeping in mind its respon-

sibility toward safeguarding resources paid for by taxpayers. Since joining the library as director about six months ago, Weber has had on his to-do list a review of existing library policies and procedures. But given the circumstances – he wasn’t aware of the displeasure of PADS residents until reached for this story – Weber said he’d move up this particular issue. He didn’t like the idea that a couple of people’s actions years ago have banned current PADS residents from checking out materials that ultimately could have a positive effect on their lives, he said. And he added that he thinks there’s a middle

ground. He suggested the library might allow residents of the transitional home to check out a limited number of materials, decreasing the risk for the library and, by extension, taxpayers. “We thought maybe we could have some sort of limit on what could be checked out at a given time,” Weber said. Cron maintains the library is at no greater risk of having materials stolen by other Woodstock residents than by those at PADS, but he was encouraged at Weber’s suggestion that a change could be coming. “That would be better than nothing,” Cron said. “At least people would be able to get their cards and check out a book.”

Nunda faces potential suit Man claims township’s easement work will cause his property to flood By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – A Crystal Lake resident is threatening to sue the Nunda Township Highway Department for recent easement work he believes will cause major flooding to his property. Doug Mann of 3007 Garden Lane

claims that Highway Commissioner Mike Lesperance started easement work this week along Running Iron Drive and Garden Lane without engineering assessments to see whether the diversion of rainwater would not result in worse flooding for the area. The nearly completed work started after flooding issues arose from

the June 26 storms when easements on the north and south sides of Running Iron Drive were overwhelmed and caused damage to some property on the east side of Garden Lane. Although Mann said that issue is important to fix, he added that Lesperance’s decision to divert the flow from the easement on the north side of Running Iron Drive to the one on

the south side would result in all floodwater pounding his property. Mann asked for engineering documents to show that Lesperance planned for the project and that the changes would not result in worse flooding, but was denied multiple times.

retirement, the learning disability class had a party. Learning disabilities assistant Barb Szamlewski had no doubt about Daisy’s success when the idea of bringing in Daisy originally was discussed. “I thought it was a brilliant idea because, working with specialized kids, you have to find a way to get through to them,” Szamlewski said. “Sometimes it was Daisy who could get through to them to open that door for us.” Daisy’s visits were treated as an incentive for the students to complete their regular work first.

lsynett@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Two McHenry County residents nearly died from overdoses caused by synthetic marijuana use over the Fourth of July holiday weekend, according to the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office. The individuals were in their mid-20s and suffered the overdoses Friday in the Wonder Lake area, Undersheriff Andrew Zinke said. Both were incoherent and semiresponsive when deputies arrived. Both individuals survived the overdoses after paramedics identified the cause and treated them

accordingly, police said. They were taken to Centegra Hospital – McHenry. Synthetic marijuana – commonly referred to as “K2” or “Spice” – often is marketed as potpourri or incense, and is a mixture of herbal leaves in various colors. The leaves are treated with chemicals that mimic the effects of marijuana when smoked. It is usually sold in square foil packs and plastic bags, police said. Those who use the drug may experience severe hallucinations, psychotic episodes, seizures and an irregular heartbeat. It is a felony offense to possess or sell synthetic marijuana. The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information regarding the possession or sale of synthetic marijuana can call 800-762-7867 or email TipLine@co.mchenry.il.us.

Miller enters McHenry County race for treasurer By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – McHenry County Treasurer Bill LeFew’s longtime chief deputy announced her candidacy to succeed him. Glenda Miller said Wednesday she is seeking the Republican nomination for treasurer next year. LeFew, who has held the office since 1997, Bill LeFew told county GOP leaders late last month he would not seek re-election. Miller, 51, has served as chief deputy treasurer under LeFew for the past 17 years. For 21 years before that, she

worked at First State Bank in Harvard, which is now Castle Bank. “By background and training, I have been preparing for this job my entire adult life,” Miller said. The office’s primary responsibility is to collect property taxes and disburse them to their local governments. LeFew has endorsed Miller for the job. If elected, Miller said she would work to streamline costs, and reach out to ensure that county property owners are aware of tax exemptions for which they may be eligible.

McHENRY: LANDMARK COMMISSION PROPOSAL

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Preparing for the Lake in the Hills Rockin’ Ribfest

Program would highlight history of area subdivisions By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Eddie Peabody was known as the King of the Banjo with a career spanning five decades. He was recognized by President Dwight Eisenhower. And he had a summer home in McHenry. Peabody was a member of the McHenry Country Club, and he had a house nearby in the McHenry Country Club Estates subdivision, McHenry Landmark Commission Chairman Pat Wirtz said. The Landmark Commission is hoping to piece together the history of McHenry’s neighborhoods and subdivisions in a new program still in the initial stages of development, Wirtz said. The idea was suggested by Nancy Fike, a former commission member who served as the McHenry County Historical Society and Museum’s administrator from 1986 until

To get involved The Landmark Commission meets at 7 p.m. the second Tuesday of each month in the classroom at the McHenry Municipal Center, 333 Green St.

her retirement last year. She also proposed putting signs in the neighborhoods and on the city’s website highlighting who the initial builders in their area were and what it means to McHenry. She would like to see the commission be proactive instead of reactive to the preservation of the city’s historical areas, she told the committee at its May meeting. A few months later, the commission is laying the framework for what its members hope will be an ongoing program, starting with a few subdivisions and eventually reaching the 25 subdivisions

that meet the criteria, Wirtz said. To qualify for the honorary program – which wouldn’t affect an own er’s use of the property and wouldn’t put them on historic registries such as the National Registry of Historic Places – the neighborhoods must date to the 20th century or earlier and be located in the corporate limits or immediately adjacent. Residents will be asked to look for information such as the subdivision’s name, when it was platted, who the developers were, what the boundaries were, the origin of the street names, the type of architecture, who the architects and builders were, the earliest dates of construction and who some of the first owners were, Wirtz said. “There’s stuff like that out there [like Eddie Peabody], and it’s just fun to find the history,” he said. “We’re history nuts, no doubt.”

Cease-and-desist request ignored • SUIT Continued from page B1 Lesperance refused to answer questions about the project Wednesday, including whether there was engineering work done and said Freedom of Information Act requests would be the only way to access any documents that might be available to the public. “He is steamrolling this whole project through when homeowners should be involved in the process,” Mann

said. “If he can show that he planned this out and shows engineers’ reports that say it is going to work, then I won’t fight it. But you don’t even have to be an engineer to go out and see it is going to be a problem.” William Hellyer, a Crystal Lake attorney representing Mann, wrote a ceaseand-desist request to the department, which was ignored. Hellyer wrote in the letter that he believed a compromise could be reached and legal action avoided if the department

could provide engineering studies to show what the project would accomplish. Hellyer said it would be Mann’s decision to file a restraining order or lawsuit, but was hopeful an agreement could be made without becoming adversarial. “If I was doing work like that, I could guarantee you the municipality or township would want to see engineering work before I moved ahead,” Hellyer said. “I would hope they had it properly engineered.”

New reading dog is named Phonics • DOG

Did you know?

Continued from page B1 “The kids would get so excited when we would say, ‘We’re going to have Daisy Day next week,’ ” Szamlewski said. “It was phenomenal. One hundred percent, Daisy has done her job.” At the end of each year, Adams-Durkin would take a picture of each of her students with Daisy. Some students, even those who have recently graduated high school, have come to her and said they still have their pictures. Not only has Daisy helped Adams-Durkin’s students become more confident reading out loud, but she also has helped some become more at ease with dogs in general. Daisy was the only therapy dog in the school, so every student recognized her whenever Daisy would walk through the cafeteria during lunchtime. Sometimes, Brian Durkin,

• Daisy was the youngest dog in the litter. • Daisy’s mother was also a therapy dog. • Daisy was 5 years old when she became a certified therapy dog. Phonics was 2 when she became certified. Adams-Durkin’s husband, would come to Hilltop to take Daisy home and would see how well-known Daisy was at school. “There was a bunch of students in the hallway once, and one little boy poked out of line and went, ‘Oh my gosh, there’s that dog that knows how to read!’ ” Durkin said with a laugh. “Even students who weren’t in special ed knew Daisy. Every teacher in the school would stop to say hi to Daisy – they loved having her there.” Adams-Durkin knew the

day would come when she would have to get a new reading dog. After tossing name ideas back and forth with Szamlewski during the school day, the name Phonics felt right for the golden retriever puppy. Phonics’ first day will be after Aug. 13. While Phonics and Daisy have different temperaments – Phonics is a typical puppy and Daisy has always been calm – Adams-Durkin is confident Phonics will do just as good of a job as Daisy did. Still, Szamlewski said it won’t be the same without Daisy. “It was a bittersweet day,” Szamlewski said about Daisy’s retirement party on the last day of school. “We knew. As she was walking down the hall and her legs were starting to give out, I thought, ‘Daisy, honey, you did your job. It’s time for you to go home and rest now.’ She brought a lot into Hilltop and she will be missed.”

CRYSTAL LAKE: BENCH TRIAL

Man found guilty on weapons charge By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A Crystal Lake man whose fiancée testified that she had an affair with his arresting officer was found guilty Wednesday on a weapons charge. Christopher L. Branham, 44, was facing multiple drug-related felonies, including a Class X, and possession of a firearm by a felon – he was convicted in Kentucky in the 1990s of drug trafficking. Branham’s two-day bench trial before McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather concluded Wednesday. Early on in the trial, Branham’s fiancée, Charity Meyers, testified that she developed a relationship with the lead detective in the case, McHenry County sheriff’s deputy Jason Novak. The two had sex just hours after Branham was arrested, she said. On April 28, 2011, members of the Narcotics Task Force, including Novak, went to the

home that Meyers and Branham share where they found drugs, including morphine, Oxycontin, Darvocet and Xanex that were packaged as if for sale. Authorities also found a shotgun. Branham testified on Wednesday that he inherited the weapon from Christopher his deceased fa- L. Branham ther but didn’t know it was at the home – he believed it was in Meyers’ father’s gun safe. Meyers said her relationship with Branham was deteriorating when she went to police about removing prescription drugs from their home. She soon developed a relationship with then-detective

Novak that grew increasingly personal. Novak was demoted from detective to the patrol unit and suspended for 10 days without pay. On the witness stand, Meyers said she would be alerted when the detectives planned to visit the home to speak to Branham about the drugs. Once she got notification, she brought the gun from a crawlspace where it was stored to the closet where police eventually found it. In his closing argument, Assistant State’s Attorney Robert Zalud said Meyers was merely telling a story, one that satisfied the defense. “Everything they wanted her to answer, she was willing to answer,” Zalud said. “If they asked her who killed Nicole

Brown Simpson, she would have admitted to it.” Prather agreed, saying Meyers wasn’t a credible witness. “The court can’t place any weight in the testimony of Charity Meyers,” Prather said. Branham initially was charged with possession of a controlled substance with the intent to deliver, a Class X felony. But after the state rested Tuesday, Prather ruled that prosecutors had not sufficiently proved their case, instead allowing Branham to plead guilty to a lesser drug charge – possession of less than 5 grams of morphine, a Class 4 felony. Outside the courtroom, defense attorney Dan Hofmann said he believed his client was overcharged. “How can you say it’s possession with the intent to deliver with an immeasurable amount of morphine molecules,” he said. Branham is set for sentencing on Aug. 29.

Wes Fortman is renting the property and said he left to get his car an oil change minutes before the fire began. “The only thing I left on was the air conditioner,” Fortman said. Maggie Sullivan is the

owner of the property and lives next door. She credits the passer-by for limiting the damage to the rear third of the home. “This was the house I grew up in,” she said. “A nice man drove by and called it in. He was pounding on all the [neighbors’] doors. He probably saved a lot of the house.” McHenry Township Fire Protection District Battallion Chief Mike Majercik said an investigation is ongoing to determine the cause of the fire.

WOODSTOCK: PEST CONTROL

Woodstock to spray for mosquitoes NORTHWEST HERALD WOODSTOCK – Recent rainfall has triggered hatches of the floodwater mosquito. The city of Woodstock has contracted with Clarke Mosquito Control to provide periodic larvicide applications in roadside storm sewer inlets and structures and publicly owned areas with open water and adulticide applications that are sprayed from a truck that travels city streets. Assuming favorable weather conditions, spraying will be completed between

dusk Friday and dawn Saturday. If weather conditions are not favorable, spraying will take place at the next available opportunity. Residents who would like to be notified before a spraying can call Clarke’s mosquito hotline at 800-942-2555. According to Clarke, these steps can assist in the fight against West Nile virus: • If outdoors when mosquitoes are active, dress in light-colored, long-sleeved clothing, long pants and socks during prime mosquito

hours. Apply mosquito repellent with DEET to clothing and exposed skin according to label directions. • Discard any outdoor container that might hold water and empty water from wading pools and birdbaths once a week. • Keep grass cut short and shrubbery well-trimmed around the house. • Since dead birds (crows, blue jays and raptors) can be the first warning that West Nile virus is present in the area, report dead birds to the county health department.

Man was held in Walworth County SPRING GROVE – A Wauconda man wanted on an escaped inmate warrant was arrested Friday night in Spring Grove, police said. Tomas Martinez-Contreras, 38, of 440 Willow Road, Wauconda, was wanted on a Walworth County Sheriff’s Office warrant after he did not return from work release, the sheriff’s office said. After a traffic stop at Wilmot and Sunset roads in Spring Grove, Martinez-Contreras was arrested by Spring Grove police on the warrant and also charged with obstructing justice, driving with a revoked license and operating an uninsured vehicle, according to a Spring Grove news release. Spring Grove police had stopped a Chevrolet pickup after the license plate came back registered to a Ford pickup, Police Chief Tom Sanders said. The driver couldn’t produce a driver’s license or proof of insurance. A name given to officers didn’t bring back any hits, Sanders said, and after 45 minutes of back and forth, the driver admitted he was wanted. “He realized that his story wasn’t working out, and he didn’t want to make things worse,” Sanders said. Martinez-Contreras didn’t give any details on where he was headed and neither did his passenger, Sanders said. Martinez-Contreras is being held at the McHenry County Jail on local charges and pending extradition to Walworth County.

DUNDEE-CROWN FOOTBALL

Chargers forced to move on without Lane By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com Two years ago, if Vito Andriola would have had to deal with losing his football team’s top offensive threat, the results wouldn’t be good. Devastating, the DundeeCrown coach said Wednesday, would have been more like it. But just as Andriola hopes to take another step in rebuilding a Chargers program that lost 26 games before last season’s 3-6 finish, he’ll have to do it without senior running back Cody Lane. Lane, who ran for 1,181 yards and 18 touchdowns and

was a first-team Northwest Herald All-Area selection, will miss his senior year after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee last month. Lane suffered the injury at a helmets and shoulder pads football camp at Northern Illinois. Lane said the injury occurred during a one-on-one drill when his foot stuck in the ground and he absorbed the weight of the linebacker he was participating in the drill with. Since then, he has started to contemplate life without football. “It’s extremely hard, but

the main thing is that my team needs me more now than ever before,” Lane said. “I’m just going to have to be there for my team. But to work as hard as I did and to see it go all to waste is extremely hard for me.” The news hasn’t been easy for the Chargers to digest, either. Andriola said that in team leadership council meetings over the winter, he discussed how his team would deal with losing a top player. Months later, Lane – one of D-C’s captains for this fall – blew out his knee at the NIU camp. Lane said he was optimis-

tic after the injury occurred as he seemed to have full use of his knee. But when the swelling didn’t go down in the three days after the camp, he underwent an MRI, and doctors discovered the tear. Lane, who had surgery June 20, said doctors have estimated he will be cleared for contact sports in late November or early December. Andriola said Wednesday that news of Lane’s injury took a couple of days to sink in with his players. While Lane H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com and his teammates have had several weeks to adjust to the Dundee-Crown’s Cody Lane runs for a touchdown in the second quar-

JOHN DEERE CLASSIC

MCHENRY COUNTY JUNIOR AMATEUR

Ex-teammates in stalemate

Affrunti will need plenty of birdies By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com

easily accessible and accommodating tournament, the “biggest community-based tennis tournament around,” Laue said. “I think that it makes it easier for people to participate,” he said, “because you can really narrow down the competition to suit you.”

Joe Affrunti is no stranger to playing birdie golf. His ability to do so nearly put him in position for his first Web.com Tour win 10 days ago in Indiana. But this weekend – on a TPC Deere Run course known for yielding birdies more than any other on the PGA Tour, Affrunti understands that if he hopes to be in contention at the John Deere Classic, his ability to shoot under par is going to have to factor in. “This week, everyone knows you have to make a million birdies,” the Crystal Lake native said on Wednesday. “It’s one of those things Joe Affrunti where it’s hard to stay patient More if [birdies] don’t come earinside ly in the week, but you have Three-time champ Stricker to. “The good man to beat thing is you at John Deere know you can Classic. Page C2 get on a run out here, so if you don’t make birdies early, you know you could go on a run and make six or seven straight.” Affrunti is scheduled to tee off at 9 a.m. for Thursday’s first round. He’s paired for the first two rounds with Steve LeBrun and Patrick Rodgers, who plays at Stanford and who received a sponsor’s exemption for this weekend’s tour stop in Silvis. It’s a course Affrunti is familiar with, having played Deere Run three times, including in the 2010 John Deere Classic when he missed the cut. But he’s also coming off a performance in his most recent Web.com event in which Affrunti posted seven birdies in the final two rounds to put him on the verge of his first tour victory. Instead, Affrunti four-putted the 17th hole of the final round and ended up in a four-man playoff. Affrunti sees very similar tendencies at Deere Run as he did with Victoria National Golf Club, where he built confidence heading into this weekend’s PGA Tour stop.

Fanselow, Spoeth share lead heading into final round By PATRICK MASON pmason@shawmedia.com BULL VALLEY – McHenry County Junior Amateur points leader Brad Spoeth found himself tied with former Huntley golf teammate AJ Fanselow after the first round of the two-day Billy Vahldieck tournament

at Boone Creek Golf Club. Nick Bonich had the early lead with a 79 but that all changed when the threesome of Spoeth, Fanselow and Tyler Ross finished their round. Both Spoeth and Fanselow posted a 5-over-par 76 while Ross matched Bonich’s early top score with a 79 in the boys senior division. The four

will be grouped together and will tee off at 8:40 a.m. in the final flight during Thursday’s final round. Double points are being awarded at the end of the tournament, so the golfers realize the importance of staying consistent throughout the two days. Fanselow, a recent Huntley gradu-

ate who will play Division III golf at the Milwaukee School of Engineering, said that he got off to a shaky start before reeling in his game. He settled for several birdies and even carded an eagle on the par-5 12th hole.

MCHENRY COUNTY CLASSIC

Tournament gives tennis community opportunity By MAREK MAKOWSKI mmakowski@shawmedia.com The McHenry County Classic, an annual tennis tournament run by Crystal Lake’s Racket Club, has so many divisions that anybody can compete in it. “It’s a fun, social, mildly competitive opportunity for anyone who even has

passing interest in tennis,” said Rob Laue, manager of Racket Club. “We’ve made it incredibly accessible to everybody, and that’s why you see well over 200 people signing up for it every year.” The tournament, forged to accompany players of different ages and skill levels, offers 29 different divisions in which to play. This year’s installment, which begins today and

lasts through July 21, features 25 divisions comprised of nearly 250 participants in total. Divisions are separated based on gender (men or women), playing preference (singles, doubles, mixed doubles), skill set (“open” or not) and age (50-and-over, 35-and-over, 20-and-over, 18-and-under, 14-and-under, 12-and-under).

NBA

Bulls hope Dunleavy can bolster 3-point attack The ASSOCIATED PRESS DEERFIELD – The Bulls signed free-agent forward Mike Dunleavy to a two-year deal Wednesday, looking to improve their outside shooting. Dunleavy agreed to terms on July 1, the first day of the free-agent negotiating period. He averaged 10.5 points this past season for the Milwaukee Bucks and shot 42.8 percent from 3-point range. The Bulls finished 20th in the league in 3-point percentage last season, and Dunleavy’s accuracy has improved in recent years.

“I think as I’ve gotten older, I’ve become a better shooter,” Dunleavy said at the Bulls’ practice facility. “That’s just with practice, knowing how to get your shots a little bit better, taking good shots. Hopefully, that trend continues to move forward. I think with this team, the way guys pass and move the ball, hopefully I’ll get even more looks.” The Bulls also waived veteran guard Richard Hamilton. The 6-foot-9 Dunleavy is entering his 12th NBA season. He was the No. 3 overall draft pick in 2002 by Golden State and also played for Indiana before

spending the past two seasons in Milwaukee. “We are extremely excited to add Mike to our team,” Bulls general manager Gar Forman said in a statement. “He was a priMike Dunleavy ority for us from the second free agency began and we feel he will be a terrific fit for us, both on and off the floor.” Dunleavy said he missed Forman’s initial phone call on July 1 because he was changing his son’s diaper, but quick-

ly got in touch and the process moved quickly from there. Dunleavy also spoke to coach Tom Thibodeau on the first day of free-agency and feels he’ll fit in with the Bulls’ defensive style. “I don’t foresee a big adjustment, because I know the way they play,” Dunleavy said. “I watched a lot of their games, played against them a lot. It’s a lot of the basic fundamentals. They just do it better than everybody else. I expect to fit right in.” The 33-year-old Dunleavy has never played for an NBA team that posted a winning

record. He’s made the playoffs twice as a No. 8 seed, with Indiana in 2011 and Milwaukee in 2013. Both teams lost in the first round. By joining the Bulls, Dunleavy will reunite with Carlos Boozer, a teammate at Duke, which won the 2001 NCAA championship. Dunleavy will wear No. 34 with the Bulls. “I’m comfortable with the career I’ve had, but with me, it’s all about winning,” Dunleavy said. “So this is a major priority for me to be on a team like this that has a chance to win, certainly what I was looking for.”

JOHN DEERE CLASSIC

Stricker the man to beat at Classic By LUKE MEREDITH The Associated Press SILVIS – Steve Stricker might be the only golfer on the PGA Tour who isn’t peeking ahead to Muirfield and next week’s British Open. Stricker’s single-minded focus on TPC Deere Run, combined with his recent dominance of the course, makes him the man to beat at this weekend’s John Deere Classic. Stricker, 46, is playing a reduced schedule this season – and he’s skipping the Open Championship to celebrate his wedding anniversary with his wife, Nicki, in Wisconsin. But Stricker won the John Deere Classic three times from 2009 to 11. He’s not about to pass on a shot at a fourth title just down the road in Illinois. “I owe a lot to this place. It’s a special place for me,” Stricker said. Stricker and Zach Johnson, who grew up about 100 miles across the Mississippi River in nearby Cedar Rapids, Iowa, are the unquestioned headliners this week. That’s largely because most of the world’s top golfers are already concentrating in Scotland. There’s no Tiger, Rory or Phil in this field. In fact, the only golfer ranked in the top

10 in the world that’ll play Deere Run is Louis Oosthuizen – and he’s 10th. Just eight of the world’s top 50, including Stricker, Keegan Bradley, Nick Watney and Johnson, have committed to the tournament. But what the field lacks in star power it should make up for somewhat in depth, as nearly half of the top 100 on FedEx Cup points list will tee off Thursday. “It doesn’t matter where we’re playing or what the field looks like. They’re all good,” said Johnson, who also serves as an executive board member for the tournament. “If you don’t know the names, you’re going to know them at some point because they’re all too good.” Johnson broke Stricker’s three-year winning streak here in 2012. But he enters his hometown event in a bit of a slump. Johnson followed up a third-place finish at the Crowne Plaza Invitational in late May by shooting 13-over par at the Memorial Tournament and missing the cut at the U.S. Open at Merion Golf Club. Johnson said that although his putting remains “up and down” – a worrisome sign because of how many birdie chances Deere Run presents – he’s feeling more and more confident in his driver.

Two-day tournaments are uncommon in high school. The only two-day tournament is played at state and MCJGA tournament director Mike Haase believes that playing in these allows golfers to gain valuable experience. Fanselow said these tournaments, offered by the MCJGA, helped him navigate the rare two-day tournament at the high school level. “I think they’re really nice,” he said. “You’ll always have those golfers who will have a really good day on the course and those who will have a really bad day.

Conditions could result in host of low-scoring rounds Moss, Parson to take RB load • AFFRUNTI Continued from page C1 TPC Deere Run has surrendered the most birdies on the PGA Tour each of the past two years – including 2,117 during last year’s John Deere Classic. It’s a course where players who have succeeded understand that can’t be underestimated even though it plays the easiest among the 11 Par 71 courses used by the tour last season. “You don’t have one hole that’s like the next,” defending champion Zach Johnson told reporters in Silvis on Tuesday. “You’ll stand up on a tee and you’ll say, ‘Oh yeah, I remember this hole.’ You go to some course and every hole looks the same – this is not one of them. “You have up, you have down, you have left, you have right, you have short you have long. It requires every club in

your bag.” Affrunti agrees, especially given the amount of rain the course has taken recently, making for soft greens and fairways. He expects the conditions to also be familiar – muggy and sticky – making the course susceptible to a host of low-scoring rounds. Last year, Johnson edged out Troy Matteson on the second playoff hole after both finished the tournament at -20. It’s the kind of finish Affrunti expects the winner will have to approach to capture the title this weekend. “It’s one of those events where par is never a bad thing, but it’s not a good thing, either,” Affrunti said. “But I know when I’m swinging it good, I get on runs and I know my runs are as good as anybody else’s runs. “I just have to make a ton of birdies and alleviate the other [bad shots] and I know that’s in my game.”

fact Lane won’t be on the field this season, moving on completely hasn’t been easy. “I think we’ll probably miss him more as a leader than we will as a football player,” Andriola said Wednesday. “But he’s still one of the best running backs in our league and we’re going to have to deal with that.” With Lane out with the injury, the Chargers will build their running game around T.J. Moss, who played halfback last season, along with Caleb Parson, who served as Lane’s primary backup last season. Parson’s older brother, Cordero, also moves into a pivotal role, replacing speedy JT Beasley, who graduated. Caleb Parson played sparingly last season but now must take on a bigger role – as will others to make up for

Lane’s production. Andriola said he has used Lane’s absence as a motivation for his players to work hard in team drills and conditioning. “I told them [Tuesday] if they think it’s hard to practice and to keep working hard in the heat to look over on the sidelines at the guy who can’t play,” Andriola said. “Ask him how hard it is not to be out here.” Lane said watching practice Tuesday was almost too much to take. Afterward, he tweeted about how difficult it is not to be playing. Lane had garnered some college attention from Bowling Green and Western Illinois and still hopes to play in college. But for now, he’ll have to contribute to the Chargers in a different way, helping bring along those who will line up in his place on Friday nights. “As long as I’m still considered a teammate along with the other guys,” Lane said, “I’m OK with that.”

points leader Billy Walker didn’t participate and Justin Lenzini led the way with an even-par 71. Jake Grabner posted a 74, good enough for second, and Ben Melms (76) ended the day in third. The three will be grouped in the top flight Thursday morning starting at 9:04 a.m. Last week’s winner, Cameron Karney, shot an 80, which was good enough for fifth and will tee off in the

second-to-last flight. He was a little disappointed but he was already thinking about the next round. “The pin placement was really tough today,” he said. “I’m looking forward to [Thursday]. I think I have to shoot around a 75 to be in the top three and I think I can do it.” Girls senior division points leader Gillian Young tied for the top score with Alexandria Siavelis as they each shot a 41 on nine holes. The two will play with Kaylee Ross (42) in the final flight. Lauren Kalamaras (45) continued her dominance in the girls junior division and heads into Thursday’s round with a one-stroke lead over Kailey Lindholm (46) and a two-stroke lead over Sophia Archos (47). The three were the only girls in the junior division to shoot a sub-50.

Mason morphs Internet site into commercial store By STEVE SARLEY sportsdesk@nwherald.com Woodstock’s Brenda Mason was miles ahead of the curve in 1994 when she opened NICA Shooting, an Internet retailing operation designed to fill a gap in the world of the shooting sports. Back in the day, it was hard to find shooter’s supplies. Of course, gun shops carried all of the guns and ammo you needed, but accessories and clothing for gun hunters and target shooters was scarce. Gun clubs and hunt clubs often carried a small selection of items and some of the bigger target shooting events featured vendors bringing in a wider range of products. The days of the big box stores was still in the future, so buyers had to leaf through catalogs to find what they needed. Mason kicked off NICA Shooting by hauling tables around to smaller shooting tournaments and displaying limited wares. It was soon after that she realized the Internet was where the future of NICA Shooting lied. The site has grown steadily while Mason has operated it out of her Woodstock home until recently, when it moved into a commercial building at 114 East Calhoun Street in Woodstock. While many businesses have transformed from brick and mortar businesses into e-tailing sites, Mason has done the reverse and has morphed the Internet NICA store into a brick and mortar operation. The name NICA is taken from the names of the Mason children, Nicholas, now 27, and Caitlyn, 24. Caitlyn works with Brenda at NICA, while Nicholas is in the Army,

We can’t thank him enough and we pray for his safety. He is a hero.” Brenda and Tim are avid hunters, starting with guns and birds and graduating to bows, elk and whitetails. Nicholas is a hunter and Caitlyn prefers target shooting. “There are actually more

companies that are beginning to offer hunting clothing for women,” Mason said. “The big manufacturers are making more clothing, but there are a lot of small manufacturers that are realizing that the number of women hunters is growing exponentially every year. “We don’t sell gimmicky stuff like T-shirts with goofy sayings on them. We sell quality merchandise that serves a purpose. We know our clientele and what they want.”

Fishing at pond convenient I’ve been harping for the past few weeks that ponds, rivers and streams are the places to go to catch plenty of fish. I am not saying that big water, like Geneva, the Chain and Delavan aren’t any good. They are big and harder to fish. They are farther away, too. What I am trying to do is to help the average guy get out more often without spending a ton of time and a bunch of gas, because budgets are tight and leisure time is diminishing. I’ve always been a fan of hitting a local pond that is close enough to my house that I can reach it by foot in a reasonable amount of time. It’s convenient and I’m sure the exercise is good for me. If it were totally up to me, I’d be at that pond every evening after dinner until dark, but family commitments and household chores have some priority, at least they do to my wife of 37 years. Sometimes I make a game of my little jaunts. I may give myself an hour to fish and see how many bass I can catch. My current record is seven and I am always willing to spend 60 minutes trying to beat that mark. Occasionally, I’ll grab a rod and walk to the water with the thought that I am going to go home after catching two bass. Sometimes, I head home after 10 minutes and sometimes it takes two hours. I like challenging myself with my little mind games. There are times when I will fish and only bring one lure. It may be a lure that I need to learn how to work better and this forces me to do that. Maybe the one lure method is something I do to make myself decide to either keep using or eliminate it from my tackle box. You should have some confidence that every bait you carry can catch fish during the right times and conditions and this is a way to prove to yourself if a particular lure is worthy. I almost always have a rod in my trunk along with a tiny tackle box with

ON THE OUTDOORS Steve Sarley a few baits that I favor for local pond fishing. A good two-piece rod will fit in any vehicle and this keeps you at the ready to attack a local pond that you spot while in the car. A pair of shoes is a necessity to carry in the trunk to change into so you can get a few casts in at a local pond on your lunch hour. People look at you funny when you walk back into the office with clods of dirt trailing behind you. You don’t have to stretch every fishing trip into a whole-day excursion.

FISHING REPORT: Northern Illinois – Dave Kranz from Dave’s Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports: “Fishing has been good as of late. Vulcan Lakes at the Three Oaks Recreation Center in Crystal Lake has been turning out hot bass action when the winds have been gentler. Always try to fish the points and shoreline that the wind is blowing toward. Drop-shot rigs featuring Roboworms work very well, as do jig/plastic combos and shallow running crankbaits. Catfish are hot all over with Sonny’s stinkbait and chicken livers being the top producers. Fishing in the slop using topwater frog baits is one of the best ways to spend time on the water right now and it is a technique that works great for bank anglers, too.” Honest John from C.J. Smith’s resort on Grass Lake sends word, “Nice catfish are being caught and the channels are the places to be. Nightcrawlers, stinkbait or shrimp are all good bait choices. Bluegills are coming on strong in the shallow channels on trout worms or use a No. 10 hook tipped with a redworm or waxworm. Smallmouth bass are being caught at the Spring Lake Bridge on nightcrawlers, golden roaches and spinnerbaits. Walleyes are really biting and the Lake Marie

sandbars are the hot spots. Drift over them using XL fatheads or leeches for some real action. Largemouth bass are very active. The channels all around Spring Lake are producing some nice ones. Nightcrawlers or medium golden roaches are best live baits. Also try small-to-medium crank baits and assorted plastics to tempt them. Muskie action has been fair.” Lake Michigan – Captain Bob Rossa of Migrator Charters says, “Fishing on Lake Michigan has been good this past week. Kings, Cohoes, steelhead and lake trout are all being caught. Fish from 80 to 200 feet of water. The salmon and steelhead are being caught in the top 80 feet of the water column, while most of the lakers are being taken right on the bottom. Moonshine’s RV Wonderbread has been a good lure for the salmon and steelhead, while a green and white Spin-N-Glow, tied 24 inches behind a chrome dodger, has been a very good bait for lake trout. Perch season is closed for the month of July in Illinois.” You are able to apply online for the second lottery for free Illinois Dove Hunting permits for hunting at select state sites.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Ahhh, the dog days of summer – and those nights when there’s nothing exciting on television. Four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon believes auto racing could fill that void. Gordon grew up in the “Thursday Night Thunder” era when he raced at tracks that hosted USAC races across the country that were televised on ESPN2. NASCAR doesn’t venture into that territory with the elite Sprint Cup Series, but the addition of Eldora Speedway to the Truck Series will mark three midweek races. The trucks ran on a Thursday night at Kentucky in June, are scheduled to run July 24, at Eldora and Aug. 21, at Bristol. Gordon thinks maybe it’s time for other series to try a midweek date. “I think when ‘Monday Night Football’ ends, we should start ‘Monday Night

IN THE PITS Jenna Fryer Racing,’ ” Gordon said. “But that’s just me. Of course I came from ‘Thursday Night Thunder,’ and ‘Thursday Night Thunder’ was ridiculously successful back in the day.” Alas, Gordon says NASCAR officials have been cold to the idea. “It seems like every time I talk to NASCAR about doing a weekly race or one midweek, they say ‘Oh well, if you do it on this day, you won’t get as many people coming to the track, so the track suffers, and if you do it on this day, then maybe the track does well but then the people at home won’t watch it because of this’, so it always seems to be some kind of obstacle,” he said. “I am not saying we need to do it every week, but if we

could find the right week in the schedule and mix it up, make it special, and make it make sense for the fans at home as well as the ones that could attend, then I think it would be awesome.” There was a buzz last weekend at Daytona about returning the night race back to its traditional early morning start, when teams were at the track for breakfast and on the beach by lunch. But Gordon believes running the race on July 4, regardless of what day it falls during the week, is a better solution and could start the midweek trend. “I think July 4th might make sense because everybody is off on that day and looking for something to do,” he said. “Of course, we are not off, but I think that is why it could work.”

Pacini: It brings community together • TENNIS Continued from page C1 Mike Pacini, who instructs at the Racket Club and has participated in the classic on-and-off the past five years, notices the community aspect of the tournament; he sees families competing in different divisions. “I think it adds a good spirit because there’s a lot of families competing in it,” Pacini, 52, said. “It brings together the community, especially the families playing together.” The McHenry County Classic is listed as an unsanctioned United States Tennis Association (USTA) tournament, which means that it doesn’t count for USTA rankings points.

Laue thinks that’s beneficial for several reasons, including that participants don’t have to be USTA members to compete (one adult membership costs $44). “This tournament is unsanctioned because we don’t want to exclude anybody,” Laue said, “and we don’t want to add the pressure on people who are playing in a sanctioned tournament.” Through the tournament, many players gain “experience in a competitive situation” and even new friends, Laue said. “The other thing that we find,” he said, “is that a lot of guys and gals exchange phone numbers because they find new playing partners.” “It’s a great way for friends and family to spend afternoons together.”

The U.S. magistrate judge’s ruling issued Wednesday in Dallas says depositions of Goodell must be at NFL headquarters in New York no later than Aug. 5. About 1,250 temporary seats at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington were deemed unsafe just hours before the Green Bay Packers beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, 31-25. That forced about 850 ticket-holders to move to new seats, and 400 others to watch from standing-room locations. The ruling limited the scope of questions to Goodell, but included his involvement in “any attempt or goal” to break the NFL’s Super Bowl attendance record.

NEW YORK – We may never know exactly what Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Braun are being accused of in Major League Baseball’s Biogenesis investigation – if they beat the rap. That’s because details likely will be caught in a tangle of legal gymnastics involving MLB, the players’ union and probably an arbitrator, who could rule no discipline is warranted. Lengthy proceedings make it nearly a certainty most, if not all, suspensions would be served in 2014. Among the early legal issues: Does the commissioner’s office have the right to announce any suspensions before grievances are decided by an arbitrator? Can a player not previously disciplined

under the drug agreement be suspended for more than 50 games because of multiple violations? Three people familiar with the investigation said if management and the union can’t agree on the process, arbitrator Fredric Horowitz likely would be asked to decide. The people spoke Ryan Braun on the condition of anonymity because no public statements were authorized. MLB has spent most of the year investigating about 20 players for their links to Biogenesis of America, including A-Rod and Braun, both former MVPs. Miami New Times reported in January that the closed Florida anti-aging clinic had

distributed banned performance-enhancing drugs to major leaguers. Lawyers for the commissioner’s office have been interviewing players and many, including Braun, have refused to answer questions about their dealings with Biogenesis, the three people said. Braun was interviewed in late June, and Rodriguez is scheduled to be interviewed Friday. Braun and Rodriguez have said they didn’t do anything that merits discipline. The players’ refusal to respond to MLB’s questions were first reported by ESPN and the New York Daily News. MLB hopes to complete the player interviews in mid-July but is not sure whether it will meet that schedule. Management then will have to decide what discipline it intends to impose.

Baseball’s joint drug agreement calls for a 50-game suspension for a first offense, 100 games for a second and a lifetime ban for a third. Among the players linked to Biogenesis, Toronto’s Melky Cabrera, Oakland’s Bartolo Colon and San Diego’s Yasmani Grandal have served 50game penalties after positive testosterone tests. The drug agreement specifies that if a suspension for a first PED offense is challenged by the union, the violation is not made public unless the penalty is sustained in arbitration. However, discipline for second and third offenses are announced and served while the grievance is litigated. There also is a provision stating “the commissioner’s office may publicly announce the discipline of a player if the allegations relating to a

No. 2 overall draft pick Kris Bryant agreed to a $6,708,400 bonus Wednesday with the Cubs.

CUBS

Bryant agrees to deal with Cubs By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com As the July 12 deadline to sign No. 2 overall draft pick Kris Bryant drew closer, Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer maintained optimistic a deal would get done. Hoyer was right. The Cubs and Bryant reportedly agreed to a bonus Wednesday worth $6,708,400, according to Baseball America, pending a physical. Bryant’s bonus is the largest given since the new draft rules were implemented two years ago, surpassing the $6.35 million the Astros gave this year’s No. 1 overall pick Mark Appel. For the Cubs, adding Bryant, a third baseman, to the organization gives them another core minor league prospect. Bryant will likely start at

Class-A (Short Season) Boise after a long layoff since the end of his college season at San Diego. With infielder Javier Baez, outfielders Jorge Soler and Albert Almora and pitcher Pierce Johnson, who has been impressive since being drafted last year, Bryant gives the Cubs a legitimate prospect at a position of need. He led Division I with 31 homers, which was more than 223 of the 296 teams, and was considered to be the best power hitter in the draft. While Bryant’s defense needs improvement, he has the potential to quickly move through the minors. At 21 years old, Bryant has three years of college baseball experience and could get some atbats at Class-A Kane County by the end of the season.

Baseball America editor Jim Callis wasn’t surprised the negotiations between the Cubs and Bryant nearly went until the deadline. Bryant is currently only one of three players in the top 11 picks to get the full bonus slot value. The other players, save for the two who have yet to sign, all received bonuses under the suggested slot amount. “I do think they’ve added some depth to the system,” Callis said of the Cubs. “They’ve definitely added pitching. … Because the signing deadline is a month earlier now, there’s really no difference if Bryant signs June 29 versus [now]. He’s still going to get a bunch of at-bats this summer.” Bryant’s addition keeps the Cubs’ rebuilding vision on pace. Although Bryant could eventually move to the

outfield based on his average defense at third, he gives the Cubs a fourth player that could reach the majors in the next two to three years. The Cubs are, rightly, going to give Bryant every opportunity to stick at third. Junior Lake, currently at Triple-A Iowa, has been logging innings in the outfield while Josh Vitters, also at Iowa, has been nagged by injuries and struggled in 36 games with the Cubs last year, hitting .121. At the major league level, Luis Valbuena and Cody Ransom aren’t long-term solutions. For the sake of the Cubs’ future, a deal had to get done with Bryant otherwise risking a setback in their plans to turn around the organization. They gave their largest bonus to a draft pick since Mark Prior ($4 million) in 2001.

CHICAGO – Josh Hamilton hit two home runs, Albert Pujols also connected and Los Angeles went deep a season-high five times in a 13-2 rout of the Cubs on Wednesday. Mark Trumbo and Brendan Harris also homered for the Angels. Hamilton drove in five runs and Pujols drove in three. All of the Angels’ home runs were no-doubters.

The Angels wasted little time in getting to Jeff Samardzija (5-9). Erick Aybar and Mike Trout started the game with doubles and Pujols drew the first of his three walks. Hamilton followed with a drive over the right-field wall for a three-run shot, his 13th of the season. A batter later, Trumbo connected on a hanging slider and hit it into the left-field bleachers to cap a five-run first inning. Leading 5-1, the Angels broke it open in the fifth as Pujols and Harris hit two-run shots and Hamilton added a solo homer.

player’s violation of the program previously had been made public through a source other than the commissioner’s office or a club” or their employees. The sides or the arbitrator will have to decide whether the media accounts of Biogenesis are covered by that clause. Each player’s case probably will be handled in a separate arbitration, which could slow down the process while the sides secure dates before Horowitz or agree to retain other arbitrators. The three players who already have served suspensions also may claim they can’t be penalized under a provision prohibiting multiple disciplines for the same use. In addition, they can’t be penalized for conduct that took place before they were given notice of their positive drug test.

DETROIT – A night after going 6 for 6, the White Sox’s Alex Rios was hitless. Instead, the Detroit Tigers did the slugging, especially early on. Prince Fielder homered, Rick Porcello pitched six solid innings and the Tigers bounced back Wednesday night with an 8-5 victory over the Sox, who had 23 hits in an 11-4 win in Detroit on Tuesday. Fielder lined a two-run shot to right field in the first inning

for his 16th homer of the year. The Sox’s Dylan Axelrod (3-6) allowed seven runs and 11 hits in 5⅔ innings. “Ax wasn’t sharp, and that’s a tough lineup to face when you don’t have your best Dylan Axelrod s t u f f , ” S o x manager Robin Ventura said. “His velocity was down all night, and he wasn’t getting much from his pitches.

quin Benoit pitched the ninth for his eighth save in eight chances. Fielder, Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez had three hits each for Detroit. Cabrera’s run-scoring single in the sixth pushed his major league-leading RBI total to 93. The Sox never led Wednesday. After Gillaspie’s homer in the second, the Tigers made it 3-1 on Austin Jackson’s RBI triple in the bottom of the inning. “Everything felt normal, and I didn’t feel like my velocity was down, but I saw the numbers out there, and you

can’t throw the ball past major league hitters if you are only throwing 84 or 85,” Axelrod said. “I don’t know if the gun was off, or if I just didn’t have anything on the ball.” Axelrod’s problems continued in the third when Avila lined a single to right with the bases loaded. The ball landed just in front of a diving Rios, and two runs came home. “I thought I was making good pitches early, but they were getting a bat on everything, and when that team gets runners on base, they are pretty good at driving them in,” Axelrod said.

Hernandez brings scrutiny on Meyer By RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press Aaron Hernandez’s troubles have become Urban Meyer’s problem. A murder charge against Hernandez, who played for Meyer at Florida from 2007 to 09, has led to greater scrutiny of Meyer’s time as Gators coach – a six-year run highlighted by two national championships and Tim Tebow’s Heisman Trophy, but also marked by about two dozen players making the police blotter. Hernandez was not one of the 25 players who accounted for 31 arrests during Meyer’s tenure, but he had issues – “relatively speaking ... very minor stuff” – Meyer said in a recent interview with The Columbus Dispatch. Those issues included Hernandez’s one-game suspension for failing a marijuana test; involvement in a bar fight that police records say left a man injured (no charges were filed); and being questioned as a witness in a shooting. Meyer, who turned 49 Wednes-

it failed to meet those standards, he became an easy target for his critics – of which there are now many. “When a coach starts talking about how strong he is on discipline, and then things go wrong, people get all over him – when actually he’s no different from anybody else,” said former Florida State coach Bobby Bowden, who went 0-5 against Meyer’s Gators and considers his old rival a friend. The Hernandez case has provided an opportunity to re-visit Meyer’s record, and also to note that despite his proclamations, not all was right with the Gators. A case can be made that Meyer was a) lax when it came to discipline, and, b) willing to take on players of questionable character. “Every coach has some skeletons in his closet somewhere,” Bowden said. And right now, Meyer’s is being inspected.

day, answered critics of his oversight while at the school, saying in a recent statement to the Dispatch and the Gainesville Sun: “Relating or blaming these serious charges to the University of Florida, myself or our staff is wrong and irresponsible.” Yet when Meyer was there, he often spoke out about the virtues of his players. “I want to make Urban Meyer sure that our players, this team goes down as one of the great teams in Florida football history,” he said the morning after Tebow and the Gators beat Oklahoma 24-14 in south Florida to win the 2008 national title. “It’s one of the greatest groups of young people I’ve ever been around, and I’m starting to get a little bit of experience behind me now, 20-something years, and that’s saying a lot because I’ve been around some great young guys.” Meyer set the bar high for his players and his program.

Woman says pot use clouding friend’s mind Dear Abby: Legal marijuana is making my best friend stupid, boring and insipid. “Susan” and I are in our 50s and have been best friends off and on since childhood. A decade ago, we started taking better care of our friendship because so few longtime friends were still in our lives. Since then, I have been careful not to be judgmental or condescending because it was the source of past friction. Susan is a regular marijuana user, which has sapped away all of her ambition and curiosity. Even when she isn’t actually high, she lacks the cleverness and mental acuity I have always treasured about her. Otherwise, her life is functional. She’s in a good marriage, loves her pets and enjoys her job. I think if I said anything, it would cause a major rift. Should I just limit our time together and accept this is how things are going to be from now on? I’m a widow who has lost my parents and others to illness. I have other friends and family, but I don’t want to lose my old chum, even though being around her is starting to make me sad. – Friendship Going To Pot In California Dear F.G.T.P.: As people grow older, long and well-es-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips tablished relationships become more precious. But much as we might wish otherwise, relationships do not always remain the same. Because you no longer are receiving what you need from your interactions with Susan, I agree you may need to see her less often. In light of your long relationship, I don’t think it would be offensive to tell her you have noticed a change in her and you miss the person she used to be. However, are you absolutely certain what you have observed is caused by marijuana? If you’re not, then consider sharing your observation with Susan’s husband, in case her lack of sharpness could be the result of another medication she’s using or a neurological problem. Dear Abby: My husband and I have been married for a year. Yesterday I put all the pieces together and realized he’s been cheating on me. I called the other woman, and after she regained her composure and heard she is a mistress, she told me

everything. She gave me the answers I desperately needed, and I am thankful for her honesty and – surprisingly – her compassion. Now I need to move forward. I am crushed, and even though he can’t explain why he cheated, I still want to know why. He says he’s going to counseling, which is something I have been begging him to do since I had a miscarriage last summer. Will he change? Or should I continue to pack the house and move on? – Crushed In

Chicago Dear Crushed: Much depends upon the reason your husband started cheating. If it was a way to avoid experiencing the pain of the loss of the baby, it’s possible with counseling the two of you can get beyond this. I suggest you ask to be included in one or more of the counseling sessions. If he agrees, at least you will know he is seeing a therapist. If not, you will have to decide whether you have had enough loss in one year to last you a lifetime, and whether you still have a future together.

Kegel exercises can help manage urinary incontinence in men Dear Dr. K: I have urinary incontinence that started after I was treated for prostate cancer. What can I do? Dear Reader: The involuntary leakage of urine, urinary incontinence, unfortunately, is a common – and aggravating – side effect of prostate cancer treatment. In some cases, incontinence improves on its own. If it doesn’t, there are several options for treating, or at least managing, the problem. Three main types of urinary incontinence may develop after prostate cancer treatment. If you have stress incontinence, you leak small amounts of urine when you cough, sneeze, exercise or put pressure on your bladder. Kegel exercises may help strengthen the muscles in your pelvic floor. This allows you to delay urinating until you reach a toilet. You may have thought Kegel exercises were something only women do. In fact, the muscles that are strengthened with Kegel exercises are the same in both sexes. (I’ve put a description of how to perform Kegel exercises on my website.) If your stress incontinence resulted from having your prostate gland removed, bulking agents can help. A

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff physician injects a substance, usually collagen, into the area once occupied by your prostate. This supports your urethra so you don’t lose urine as easily. Urge incontinence occurs when your bladder suddenly contracts and expels urine. You get an urge to urinate even though you know you emptied your bladder not long before. You urinate, and then get the urge again a halfhour later. Urge incontinence often comes in waves. It may not bother you all morning, for example, but it becomes insistent mid-afternoon. In the course of a few hours, you may feel the urge four or five times. Bladder retraining helps by increasing the amount of urine your bladder can hold. In this technique, you suppress your urge and gradually prolong the time between trips to the toilet. This really works, but now and then there’s a crisis. You’ve ignored the urge, and ignored it again, and suddenly you’re pretty sure you aren’t going to hold it and need to dash to the bathroom. The trick is to

know when your bladder is at its limit and go to the bathroom just before you have to make that mad dash. Prescription medications, particularly oxybutynin (Ditropan), tolterodine (Detrol) and some antidepressants, can be effective. The antidepressants aren’t treating depression: They calm the sensations that come from your bladder. Overflow incontinence results when your bladder cannot empty completely. As a result, urine dribbles out. Alpha blocker drugs help to more fully empty the bladder. Even if your incontinence can’t be cured, it can be managed. Absorbent underwear and highly absorbent disposable pads can be worn with everyday clothing. A condom-like device can be fitted over your penis and connected to a drainage bag. Coping with incontinence can be frustrating, but with time and patience, you should be able to find an option that works. If your incontinence is severe, you may need to consider surgery.

Rihanna sends $5K check to Barrington High School THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Hasselbeck exits ‘The View’ Elisabeth Hasselbeck left “The View” after a decade Wednesday, showing no hard feelings toward her colleagues even though her political views made for some awkward and heated exchanges on the daytime chat fest over the years. Her exit came less than 24 hours after it was announced that Hasselbeck will join Fox News Channel and the “Fox & Friends” morning show in September. Fellow cast member Joy Behar joked about Hasselbeck being a “fish out of water” on the Fox show, which is popular with conservatives. Hasselbeck, who appeared at the Republican National Convention in 2008, usually found herself outnumbered on “The View” when she offered conservative political opinions. On Wednesday, she thanked the show’s executive producer, Bill Geddie, for challenging her and telling her to “never be fearful of voicing my opinion.” Hasselbeck warmly thanked all of her colleagues. She said she calculated that she spent about 3,000 days working with show creator Barbara Walters, an experience that was like a master’s class in communications and journalism. She said Whoopi Goldberg was as loving as she was talented and that she had “an insane amount of respect” for Behar. “I even like it when Joy has been able to throw a one-liner in and make me laugh even when I don’t want to,” she said. Behar said their debates added excitement to the show and “we were never mad at each other.”

Pop star Rihanna is donating $5,000 to a suburban Chicago high school to cover the costs of her brief but tardy visit earlier this year. Barrington Unit District 220 said the money was sent to offset expenses for security and signs for the musician’s March trip to Barrington High School. The rest of the cash will be allocated for students. The singer traveled to Chicago’s northwestern suburbs after the school won her “Shine Bright Like a Diamond” video contest. Their five-minute, student-produced film highlighted the school’s volunteer and community service programs. But fans waited for more than four hours on the first day of the school’s spring break after Rihanna showed up

Demian Bichir delves into immigration debate Forgive Mexican actor Demian Bichir for pointing out the obvious metaphor in the title of his new TV series “The Bridge,” but someone had to do it. “We need bridges more than walls, you know what I mean?” Bichir said about the immigration and border security debate. The U.S. Congress is debating a proposal that would strengthen security along its southern border, while providing a path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million workers living in the U.S. without legal permission. “We need to find a way of doing it right because that will not stop anybody from coming over here if they see the possibility of having a better life,” Bichir said.

Saturday classes in web development, bookkeeping CRYSTAL LAKE – McHenry County College is accepting registrations for accelerated Saturday classes in web development and bookkeeping. In the accelerated format, students can earn a bookkeeping certificate in one semester and a web developer certificate in two semesters. This allows students to immediately apply their skills to the workplace. Tutoring is available in the afternoon from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturdays for web development and three days during the week at the Sage Center for accounting. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job outlook for web developers is projected to grow 22 percent through 2020. The job outlook for bookkeepers and accounting and auditing clerks is expected to grow 14 percent through 2020. In the web development class, students take two classes in the first eight weeks and two classes in the second eight weeks. Students will continue with four more classes at the same time during Spring 2014 semester and complete their certificate by early May. Web development certificate classes include

Computer Literacy (CIS 110) from 8 a.m. to 9:50 a.m. and Applied Logic (CIS 121) from 10 to 11:50 a.m. from Aug. 17 through Oct. 5 and CIS 117 Intro to Programming (CIS 117) from 8 to 9:50 a.m. and Web Fundamentals (Web 105) from 10-11:50 a.m. According to Meri Winchester, co-chair of Computers and Digital Media, adults enjoy taking online classes, but also prefer face-to-face time with their instructor and classmates. “We are offering the web development certificate class in a hybrid format, because it includes both in-class and online segments, which appeals to working adults,” Winchester said. “It’s part of lifelong learning – some people cannot quit their jobs to go back to school – so attending classes on Saturdays is a good option,” Winchester said. “This class will add to people’s skills set because so much of (business) is on the web. Those working in graphic design may find that their clients expect design skills for print and the web.” The bookkeeping certificate class also is an

accelerated class with one or two classes the first eight weeks and two classes the second eight weeks. Plus, a computer literacy class is required and can be taken either the first or second semester. Students can earn a certificate before the holidays. Bookkeeping certificate classes include Basic Accounting Procedures (ACC 110) from 10-11:50 a.m. from Aug. 17 through Oct. 5 and Financial Accounting (ACC 151) from 10 a.m. to 11:50 a.m. and Computer Applications of Accounting (ACC 220) from noon to 1:50 p.m., both from Oct. 12 through Dec. 7. The ACC 151 and ACC 220 are a blend of in-class and online learning. Computer Literacy (CIS 110) is required, and is offered at multiple sections and times. “We added the Saturday classes to help working adults get trained in bookkeeping,” said Don Curfman, accounting instructor.

Set the stage for employee’s development, growth Performance appraisal, review or evaluation all have one thing in common.They all look back at what has transpired over a period of time with the end result being some type of rating or ranking. This has been the norm since the idea of discussing performance with employees first became a common practice. The problem is, this approach rarely produces the results the company wants – namely a more productive and effective employee. Instead, this approach sets the stage for added conflict and a breakdown of the supervisor/employee relationship. So, what to do instead? The more recent thinking looks towards the future of the employee and how to use the “discussion” to set the stage for development and growth. Ratings are set aside and are replaced by improvement plans and goals.

8IN BRIEF SEC lifts ban on hedge fund advertising WASHINGTON– For the first time, hedge funds will be allowed to advertise to the general public under a rule adopted Wednesday by federal regulators. The Securities and Exchange Commission voted 4-1 to lift a decades-old ban that prevents hedge funds, private equity firms and other private investment managers from marketing their products to a wide audience. Hedge funds are still allowed to sell securities only to an exclusive group of investors: those with a net worth of at least $1 million excluding their primary residence, or annual income of more than $200,000 in each of the two most recent years. About 7.4 percent of U.S. households have a net worth of $1 million or more. The change, which takes effect in about 60 days, was mandated by legislation enacted last year. The law also makes it easier for small startup companies to raise capital without having to comply immediately with SEC reporting rules. Hedge funds are investment pools that use complex trades to seek big returns. They command trillions of dollars in assets. The ban on general advertising has been in effect since 1933, during the Great Depression. Companies and funds must verify that investors meet the financial requirements for the investments. And the SEC adopted a rule that bars convicted felons and individuals sanctioned by federal securities and banking regulators from participating in offerings.

Wholesale stockpiles shrink in May, sales rise WASHINGTON – U.S. wholesalers cut back on restocking in May even as sales rose, indicating economic growth could pick up later this year as they rebuild their stockpiles. The Commerce Department said Wednesday that wholesale stockpiles shrank 0.5 percent in May, the most in 20 months. That followed a 0.1 percent decline in April, which was revised lower. Sales at the wholesale level jumped 1.6 percent in May and 0.7 percent in April. A reduction in stockpiles may prompt economists to cut their growth forecasts for the April-June quarter. But the steady gain in sales suggests companies may have to order more goods in the coming months to keep up with demand. That could boost factory production and drive more economic growth in the second half of the year. Auto sales jumped 3 percent in May, yet stockpiles were unchanged. And sales of durable goods, items meant to last at least three years, rose 0.3 percent, while inventories of those goods fell by the same amount.

Yes, goals have always been part of the process but usually left without any follow-up. The best place to start is with a couple of lists. One that defines all of the skills and knowledge needed to be successful in the position and another list detailing the tasks and/ or responsibilities associated with the job. Using these lists (sometimes found on the job description) will enable the employee and the manager to have a meaningful discussion about the job. Ambiguous terms such as “job knowledge” or “initiative” are of little use since they have different meanings without any clear definition. Instead, use skills such as “use of Excel” or “G-code.” Tasks might include “producing daily past due accounts report,” or “accurately counting and packing parts.”

the other hand, if the employee is in fear of the manager, the employee will do the least amount possible to get by. This doesn’t mean the employee is a poor employee – it just means the employee is human! Think about it, whom would you work harder for? A manager who was out to get you or a manager who had your best interest in mind? And then there is the EEOC! Although there are no laws requiring employers to talk with their employees about performance, if an employer does it must use a “system that is the best possible for the employee.” Using a system based on the job fits that requirement. The EEOC might also have issues with termination. The company terminates an employee for poor performance. When looking through the file, performance ap-

HUMAN RESOURCES Karla Dobbeck Once the tasks and responsibilities have been clearly defined and both the employee and manager agree on what they are, a more productive discussion can take place. Many companies fail to hold their managers and supervisors accountable for developing employees. The company promotes people into management roles because of their technical ability but does not put much emphasis on managing others. This is unfortunate. If the employee believes his or her manager truly wants the employee to achieve more, that employee will work harder for the manager. On

praisals with sufficient ratings are found. There is nothing to indicate the employee needs to improve because the manager who completed the form had little direction and did not want a confrontation with the employee. This scenario happens frequently leaving the company with little to support their reason for termination. If the time is right for you to begin looking at improving your current system, feel free to give me a call – HRT will be happy to help you design a system that will work at your company or provide training to your supervisors to help them get more from their staff.

Fed members: More job gains needed to taper bonds By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON – Many Federal Reserve members agreed last month that the job market’s improvement would have to be sustained before the Fed would reduce its bond purchases, according to minutes of their June meeting. Several felt confident that a pullback in bond purchases could occur soon. The minutes released Wednesday echo remarks Chairman Ben Bernanke made at a news conference after the meeting. Bernanke said the Fed would likely slow its bond purchases later this year and end them around mid-2014 if the economy continued to strengthen. The bond purchases have helped keep long-term interest rates low to spur spending. Since the purchases began in September, the economy has added an average 204,000 jobs a month, up from 174,000 jobs in the previous nine months. Still, unemployment remains a high 7.6 percent. The minutes showed that Fed members struggled with how best to convey the Fed’s thinking about its timetable for bond purchases. Some wanted to explain it in the post-meeting statement. Others felt the statement might be misinterpreted. In the end, most participants thought Bernanke should lay out the Fed’s thinking in his news conference — and stress that any pullback in bond purchases would depend on the economic outlook. Bernanke stressed at the news conference that if the economy weakens, the Fed wouldn’t hesitate to step up its bond purchases again. Still, stocks and bonds plunged after his remarks, and interest rates surged. Several Fed members helped steady stock markets in the days that followed by noting that any pullback in bond buying would hinge on the

Stocks have since regained most of their losses, in part because of encouraging data about the job market and corporate earnings. Each month since late last year, the Fed has been buying $85 billion in Treasury and mortgage bonds. The bond purchases have kept longterm rates near record lows. Ultra-low rates encouraged more Americans to

buy homes and cars, fueled economic growth and cheered the stock market. Investors worried that once the Fed starts scaling back its bond buying, home loans would start to cost more, corporations would pay more to borrow and bond investors would be squeezed. But steady job gains have raised the likelihood that the Fed will announce after its September meeting that it’s

reducing its bond purchases. Still, economic growth has been subpar. The economy grew at an annual rate of just 1.8 percent in the January-March quarter. Economists think growth stayed below a 2 percent annual rate in the April-June quarter. If so, it would mark a third straight quarter of weak growth. Most think growth will pick up in the second half of the year but stay around 2 percent for the year. The Fed’s forecasts are rosier: It predicts growth of 2.3 percent to 2.6 percent this year and more than 3 percent in 2014. It also expects unemployment to fall as low as 7.2 percent by the end of this year and as low as 6.5 percent by the end of 2014. Many analysts think the Fed could begin slowing its bond purchases from $85 billion a month to around $65 billion in September and gradually shrink them before ending them by next summer. That would likely happen, though, only if the job market and the economy continued to strengthen. Bernanke has said the bond-buying would end when the unemployment rate would be around 7 percent. It’s now 7.6 percent. Even after it scales back its bond purchases, the Fed will still be providing considerable support to the economy. That’s because it plans to keep its investment holdings – now at a record $3.4 trillion – constant to avoid causing long-term rates to rise too quickly. The end of the bond program would mean only that the Fed’s balance sheet would no longer be growing. The Fed has also said it plans to keep short-term rates at record lows at least until unemployment slides to 6.5 percent. And Bernanke has emphasized that 6.5 percent unemployment is a threshold, not a trigger: The Fed might decide to keep its benchmark short-term rate near zero even after unemployment falls that low.

Is it time to buy Japanese stock mutual funds? By LAWRENCE CARRELL For The Associated Press After Japan’s stock market soared 80 percent over the course of six months, it hit a roadblock. The rapid climb of the Nikkei 225 index, the market’s benchmark, came to an abrupt end on May 22. Over the next three weeks, the market plunged 20 percent – the definition of a bear market. However, since June 13, the day it entered bear territory, the Nikkei has bounced back 13 percent. The quick turnaround has led many to ask if this market correction is a buying opportunity, or merely a head fake as the Japanese market returns to the doldrums it’s been sitting in for the past two decades. “The historical template for Japan over the last 20 years has been, the government announces measures, markets do well, and six months later we’re back where we started,” says Christopher Dodson, Japan capital markets specialist at Auerbach Grayson, a New York broker that provides access to international markets. “That history was the prime reason for the severity of the dive.” The Japanese market began its rally in November with the dissolution of Japan’s parliament, which paved the way for the election Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. But it was Abe’s package of policies to grow Japan’s moribund economy that really sent stocks soaring. The prime minister proposed a threesided plan to spark economic growth. Nicknamed “Abenomics,” the plan consists of loosening monetary policy, increasing public works spending and making structural reforms throughout the economy. The monetary stimulus aims to end the problem of deflation, or falling prices, by decreasing interest rates to ultimately produce 2 percent inflation within the next two years. Finally, the structural reforms include tax cuts and an easing of regulations.

So far, the monetary stimulus has had the biggest effect. From November through May, the yen declined in value against the dollar by 30 percent, which is good for Japanese exporters because it raises the value of their overseas earnings and helps make their products less expensive abroad. After a short recovery, the yen is down 25 percent as of July 3. “Monetary policy by itself is not enough,” says Paul Attwood, portfolio manager of the Huntington International Equity fund (HIETX) and Huntington Global Select Markets fund (HGSIX). He says corporate tax rates must be lowered and some regulations eliminated in order to see sustainable economic growth. Even so, the country is his top pick among international markets, and his funds have a 20 percent stake in Japan. Attwood says the stocks are attractively valued and the downside is limited, so he’s looking to buy more. He suggests U.S. investors put 5 percent of their portfolios in Japan. The trigger for the Nikkei’s tumble was the U.S. Federal Reserve. On May 22, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said if the U.S. economy continued to improve, the central bank could begin to wind down its policy of buying Treasury bonds, known as quantitative easing. Fears that ending the policy would slow down the U.S. economy sparked a worldwide sell off in stocks. The same day, China, Japan’s second-largest trading partner, released poor economic news. That one-two punch sent the Nikkei reeling. Over the five weeks ended June 26, U.S. mutual funds holding only Japanese stocks saw net outflows of $472 million, or 21 percent of their assets, according to Morningstar. Emerging markets are down a lot this year and Europe is still struggling. “Japan is in the best shape in the world,” says Campbell Gunn, portfolio manager of the T. Rowe Price Japan fund (PRJPX). He says Japan is “pulling out all the stops

to recover and the valuations are still attractive.” At this point, everyone is waiting for the end of July, when Japan’s parliament holds elections for its upper house. If Abe’s party wins, he’ll be able to push through all of his policies. Dodson of Auerbach Grayson says if investors want Japanese stocks they should focus on domestic asset plays, companies that aren’t heavily influence by events outside of Japan. He likes real estate, construction, railroads, and domestic retail such as Mitsubishi Estate (MITEY), East Japan Railways (EJPRY) and Seven & I (SVNDY). Also, small-capitalization stocks generally outperform given their domestic bent, he says. Martin Jansen, the lead portfolio manager for the ING International Value fund (NIIVX), also likes domestic retail and financials, and boosted his fund’s Japan weighting to 21 percent over the past 7 months. If you want to get in on Japan’s potential turnaround, Japan funds are the way to go. Even with the recent bear market, Japan funds declined 1.86% in the last month, that’s less than any other international stock sector fund, according to Morningstar. They still lead that group year to date. But it’s a turnaround story. Investors have lost money in Japan over the last decade, so you’ll want to limit your stake and keep tabs of the developments, as Abenomics is an unfolding story. Although many say this is indeed a buying opportunity, there are some caveats. John Browning, the executive director of Incapital’s unit trust division and a creator of international portfolios says historically, throwing money at a problem doesn’t necessarily work. Japan’s stimulus may result in inflation without real economic growth. What’s more, Japan also faces increased competition in terms of innovative new products from China and other emerging market countries.

Ford’s China journey Late to the Chinese market, automaker aims to catch up By DEE-ANN DURBIN AP Auto Writer CHONGQING, China – Dave Schoch has one of the toughest jobs at Ford Motor Co.: catching the competition in the world’s biggest car market. When Schoch arrived in China 13 years ago, the government was building eightlane freeways in major cities, but bicyclists and pedestrians still filled the streets. The Chinese were buying fewer than 2 million cars and trucks each year, a fraction of the 14.4 million sold in 2000 in the U.S. When he returned to China last year, Schoch was stunned. The freeways were choked with cars, from inexpensive, Chinese-made Wuling minivans to MercedesBenz sedans. The red-hot Chinese economy had more than doubled annual wages, giving millions of people the money to buy a first vehicle or move up to a luxury brand. “Things turned upsidedown,” says Schoch, who was named head of Ford’s Asia Pacific operations in the fall. “You have to be here and experience it to believe what has happened in the last decade.” Last year, Chinese consumers bought 19 million cars and trucks – 5 million more than consumers in the U.S. Ford’s share of those sales was just 3 percent. Years of corporate chaos and financial trouble slowed Ford’s entry into China as its rivals gained a foothold. Together, General Motors and Volkswagen control a third of China’s market. But the race is far from over. China is still a country where just 58 out of every 1,000 people own cars. In the U.S., that number is closer to 800. Every year, tens of millions of Chinese are reaching the income threshold they need to buy a car, Schoch says. Many analysts predict annual sales in China of 30 million by 2020, almost double the U.S. forecast of 17 million. It’s up to Schoch to ensure Ford gets a big chunk of that phenomenal growth. “I go home each night thinking, ‘Have I really tried to move the needle? Are we moving the organization fast enough to take advantage of this? Because I really think we have a golden opportunity here,” he says. Ford wants to double its Chinese market share to 6 percent by 2015. To make

China’s June auto sales rise 9.3 percent BEIJING – China’s auto sales growth held steady in June as Ford Motor Co. said its sales gained 44 percent to 75,254 vehicles. Japanese brands rebounded from a slump despite a credit crunch and slowing economic growth. Auto sales rose 9.3 percent over a year earlier to 1.4 million vehicles, the China Association of Auto Manufacturers reported Wednesday. That was in line with May’s 9 percent growth. The strong sales could come as reassurance to global automakers that are looking to China, the biggest auto market by number of vehicles sold, to drive revenues amid weakness elsewhere. Sales of Japanese brands rose 16.5 percent to 2.3 million vehicles, according to CAAM, improving from a slump that began last year amid tensions between Beijing and Tokyo over ownership of uninhabited islands in the East China Sea. Chinese brands lagged the market again in June, the CAAM said, indicating domestic automakers were losing market share to global brands and their local partners. Sales of Chinese brand autos rose 5.5 percent to 5.3 million vehicles. Sales of German brands rose 20.6 percent to 2.9 million vehicles and American brands were up 12.7 percent to 1.8 million vehicles. General Motors Co. said June sales by the company and its Chinese joint venture partners rose 10.6 percent over a year earlier to 236,207 vehicles. Sales at Japan’s Nissan Motor Co. fell 7.7 percent to 101,400 vehicles, though it said that decline was due partly to comparison with strong sales in the same month last year. Germany’s BMW said sales of its BMW and Mini brand vehicles rose 6.9 percent to 184,489 vehicles. that happen, the company is launching six new vehicles in China this year, including two small SUVs called the Kuga and the EcoSport, the Mondeo midsize sedan and the Explorer SUV, which is exported from Chicago. The Lincoln luxury brand will arrive next year. To meet its goals, the company has undertaken its most ambitious growth since Ford went on a post-war building spree in Michigan 60 years ago. Ford is spending $5 billion to build five plants – including three assembly plants, an engine plant and a transmission plant – that will more than double its Chinese production capacity to 1.7 million vehicles by 2015. “They used to be laggard, cautious. But now they’re all in,” says Michael Dunne, president of the automotive consulting group Dunne and Co. in Hong Kong. “They are saying, ‘We have confidence in the China market. We have confidence in our products. We can win here.’” Ford sold a company record 407,721 vehicles in China in the first six months of this year. But that was only a quarter of the vehicles GM sold. Volkswagen has six brands aimed at every type of buyer in the vast Chinese market, from the cheap Skoda

to the ultra-luxury Bentley. Until Lincoln arrives, Ford has just one. There are other obstacles. Ford cars are expensive. In a market where 70 percent of vehicles sold cost less than $14,500, Ford’s cheapest car is the Fiesta, which starts at $13,300. The Explorer starts around $80,000 thanks to a 25 percent import duty and other taxes. Ford’s development costs are also steep compared with competitors’ because it still does much of the research and design for Chinese vehicles at its headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan, where costs are relatively high. Ford hopes to double its technical workforce in Nanjing to 1,500 people by 2015; GM already employs more than 2,000 people at its technical center in Shanghai. Another complication is the unpredictable Chinese government, which could scramble expansion plans at any time. The government requires foreign automakers to partner with local companies and decides where they can build their plants. But Ford can’t keep relying on Europe and North America, where it sells 73 percent of its vehicles. The company lost $1.75 billion in Europe last year as sales plummeted in a recessionary economy, and it expects to lose $2 billion

there this year. Profits in Asia would have cushioned those losses, but Ford’s Asian operations lost $77 million because of the big investments in new plants and vehicles. One hundred years ago, Ford was the company with a head start in China. It started selling the Model T there in 1913, and founder Henry Ford explored opening a plant in China in the 1920s. But Ford quickly cooled on the idea because of China’s poor roads and low wages. The country’s only Ford dealership, in Shanghai, closed at the outbreak of World War II, and its car industry was cut off to foreigners for several decades after that. Ford re-entered China in 1997, around the same time as GM. But Ford focused on the commercial van market, which was limited. GM and its Chinese partners – SAIC and Wuling – grew quickly by selling Wuling minivans and Buicks to the mass market. Ford’s attention was elsewhere. SUV sales were booming at home. The company was buying up luxury brands like Jaguar and Volvo with the profits. No one at headquarters anticipated that the Chinese market was about to take off. “If I had gone to management in Dearborn and tried to convince them that China would be 20 million units in 2013, they would have really started to worry about me,” Schoch says with a laugh. The company soon realized its error. It formed a partnership with Chinese automaker Changan Automotive in 2001 and began building the Fiesta in China two years later. But with its new luxury brands, high labor costs and bloated bureaucracy, it had a limited amount to invest. In 2006, Ford named a new CEO, Alan Mulally, to help stem its billion-dollar losses and end executive infighting. A few months after Mulally’s arrival, Ford borrowed $23.6 billion and used it to close plants, cut its workforce, improve key products and meld global operations. Mulally sold or discontinued every brand but Ford and Lincoln. By 2009, Ford was profitable again, and turned its sights on China. Schoch says Mulally asked him in 2011 if he would return to China. Schoch’s only question was whether Ford was

Mulally didn’t hesitate. “Yes, from the board of directors on down,” he said, according to Schoch. It was a defining moment for Schoch. Last month, Mulally visited China for the third time in less than a year. He was there to open a $500 million engine plant in Chongqing, an industrial city of 30 million in southwestern China, where suburban industrial parks are rapidly filling with carmakers and auto suppliers. Chongqing is now Ford’s largest manufacturing base outside Michigan. Mulally was also in Chongqing last August, to break ground on Ford’s third assembly plant there, a $600 million facility that will be completed in 2014. Ford hopes its manufacturing base in Chongqing, far from China’s crowded eastern coast, will help it attract rural buyers in the still largely untapped markets in western China. For those buyers, Ford is developing a low-cost car to compete with the $9,500 Chevrolet Sail. Ford will use Lincoln to make a play for China’s booming luxury market, which is dominated by German brands like Audi and BMW. Lincoln used to be the best-selling luxury brand in the U.S. but fell behind when Ford started focusing on other luxury brands. Ford’s effort to revive the brand began this year

with the launch of the Lincoln MKZ sedan in the U.S. “Chinese consumers buy on image and prestige and the message that they project to their family and co-workers and friends,” Dunne said. “With a luxury brand like Lincoln, it gives them a chance to say, ‘Hey, see my American luxury car that I drive? Do you have one of these?’” Ford, GM and others also have been helped by a backlash against Japanese automakers in China because of disputes between Japan and China over ownership of islands in the East China Sea. Toyota’s sales fell 6 percent in the first six months of this year. Su Xiaoling, a sales manager in a Beijing real estate company, said he expects Ford’s share of the Chinese market to climb because it offers newer styles and updates them often. “I think Ford cars are safe. The material they use is good and thick, not like the Japanese cars,” he said. “But the price is pretty expensive.” Schoch’s goal, he says, is to build Ford’s reputation and convince buyers like Su that Ford’s offerings are worth the price. “Share and profits are important, but they’re a fallout to how our customers perceive Ford,” he says. “This is not a sprint in my mind. This is part of a very, very long journey.”

Famer feeds pigs pot in flavor experiment By MANUEL VALDES Associated Press SNOHOMISH, Wash. – The white van with tinted windows pulled up to the driveway with its cargo – cardboard boxes full of marijuana. And the customers eagerly awaited it, grunting and snorting. The deal was going down for three hungry Berkshire pigs from a Washington state farm, and a German television crew was there to film it. Part flavor experiment, part green recycling, part promotion and bolstered by the legalization of recreational marijuana in Washington state, pot excess has been fed to the hogs by their owners, pig farmer Jeremy Gross and Seattle butcher William von Schneidau, since earlier this year. Gross and von Schneidau now sell their “pot pig” cuts at von Schneidau’s butcher shop in Seattle’s Pike Place Market at a premium price – bacon is $17 a pound while chops go for $16.90 a pound. “He’s like ‘let’s see what kind of flavor it gives it.’ So we ran it and it gave good flavor,” Gross said. “It’s like anything else, what you feed them is what they’re going to taste like. It’s almost like a sa-

vory alfalfa fed cow or alfalfa fed pig.” The meat, though, won’t get people high. It’s just a flavor infusion. While the passage of recreational marijuana inspired the experiment, Gross and von Schneidau get the marijuana excess – roots, stems, and other part of the plant that are grinded and not used for consumption – from a medical marijuana dispensary. At the butcher shop, cuts from the pot pigs are signed with a little drawing of a marijuana leaf stuck on them with a toothpick. “It tastes like the best pork chop you’ve ever had,” said Matt McAlman, who runs Top Shelf Organic, the dispensary that is providing the pot plant waste for the pigs to eat. The idea has brought worldwide attention. On a recent afternoon, Gross hosted a crew from a German science show while von Schneidau has already been interviewed dozens of times. The men, though, are relishing the spotlight to advertise von Schneidau’s idea of locally sourced food. Gross’ hogs at his Snohomish, Wash., farm were being fed recycled byproduct before the marijuana idea.

While Gross raises pigs on his property, he works full time as a construction foreman. The only way he can stay in the pig business, he said, is the free feed he collects from a local distillery and brewery. He feeds his pigs barrels of the distillery wheat “mash” every day, fortified by a nutrient mix his veterinarian created. Gross gets his free pig feed, while the distillery and brewery get rid of waste. Gross is applying that model to the medical marijuana excess and von Schneidau hopes it’s an example people use as production of marijuana ramps up under the stateapproved system. “Absolutely, it’s a good opportunity to help people get rid of their waste,” said von Schneidau, who also is attempting to start a privately-owned mobile slaughterhouse. But currently the state draft rules say pot plant waste must be “rendered unusable” by either grinding it or mixing it with non-consumable, recycled solid waste, such as food waste, compost, soil and paper waste. The state’s rules for medical marijuana do not say how to get rid of marijuana byproducts. John P. McNamara, a pro-

McNamara said in order to introduce a drug or medicine to feed that’s being given to animals that make part of the food supply, the federal government must sign off on

it after extensive review. He adds that research has shown that cannabis ingested can be transferred onto tissues. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is the agency that oversees the nation’s food supply. The agency, on its website, says it “approves the additives or drugs that are used in feed products.” Currently, Gross is only feeding three pigs the marijuana mix, which on a recent

afternoon the chopped down on with fervor, sticking their snouts into the pile of mash. Asked if feeding marijuana affects the pigs, such as perhaps giving them munchies, Gross said he can see no effect on the pigs. Already all pigs do is sleep and eat, he said. But his farm manager mentioned that one of the more salty sows mellows out after a feeding.

Tips on hiring and working with a home decorator cation, trust and respect.

By MELISSA RAYWORTH The Associated Press

FINDING CANDIDATES

Home-decorating television shows and shelter magazines have many Americans dreaming about inviting an expert interior designer into their homes. It looks so effortless when a popular designer arrives in a whirlwind of creative ideas and quick-working craftsmen. By the end of an hour of cable TV, he or she has transformed a hopelessly drab home into a stylish oasis. But what’s it really like to hire a designer? How can you make sure it’s a successful – and not too expensive – collaboration? As with a good marriage, says interior designer Phoebe Howard, the relationship between designer and homeowner is about communi-

Many homeowners find a designer by asking friends whether they’ve used one. Designer Cathy Davin, founder and president of Davin Interiors in Pittsburgh, says new clients are often referred to her by previous clients. Others discover her online, she says. Interior designers generally keep a portfolio of photos of rooms they’ve designed on their websites. Browse through as many as you can in your area, noting photos that fit with your vision for your home. Training varies: An interior designer “typically has a bachelor’s degree in interior design, and in several states must be certified,”

Davin says. They can collaborate easily with engineers, contractors and architects, and should have a full understanding of color, proportion and other elements of design. A decorator “might be just someone who has a flair for decorating and wants to hang up a shingle,” Davin says, and it’s possible their style will fit perfectly with yours. But they probably won’t have as much training as a designer.

DISCUSSING MONEY Howard, who is based in Florida, says a good designer should be able to tell you whether you can have what you’re envisioning for the money you’re able to spend. Be realistic and clear when discussing your budget. Design fees vary around the

country, but Davin says they tend to range between about $4 per square foot (for limited services like choosing a room’s color palette and furniture layout) to $10 or more per square foot for full project management. Get cost estimates in writing and be sure you know exactly what is included. If you make any changes to a project after hiring a designer, get those adjustments in writing as well. The folks at ASID suggest keeping a folder with printouts of all agreements and correspondence about your project. Extra calls or extra meetings cost money and slow the project down, so have notes ready and be prepared each time you call or meet with your designer.

AGREEING ON STYLE Davin suggests starting with a meeting at your home with all decision-makers present. Couples should try to work out disagreements before sitting down with the designer; experts can be good sounding boards but they won’t want to take sides in a battle. As you make design choices, Howard says, do your homework: Touch the fabrics and study the colors to be sure you like them. Comb through websites and magazines, showing your designer what you have in mind. And trust your instincts: If a designer or a particular decision really feels wrong, don’t go with it. But also remember that you’ve brought in a professional for their creative input.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - Your leadership qualities will be greatly enhanced in the year ahead in ways that will propel you forward. There’s a strong possibility that you’ll be at the forefront of something both exciting and important. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The time is now ripe to tackle something that you’ve been reluctant to attempt. Don’t be -- you’ll be lucky when there’s a lot on the line. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If you’re involved in something that is moving along well, don’t upset the applecart. Leaving it undisturbed only enhances its probabilities for further improvement. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Ventures that you personally create, develop or control have excellent chances for success. This is the day to back your own horse instead of betting on someone else’s. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You’re more fortunate than usual, in that you have several people pulling for you whom you may not even be aware of. They’ll provide something you couldn’t have gotten on your own. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You’ve just entered a cycle where, with a little extra effort, you can make your hopes a reality. Stop sitting on your expectations and start doing something to realize them. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- When it comes to a commercial negotiation, don’t be reluctant to ask for the moon. Even if you have to settle for less, you should come out rather well. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It’s time to view an important arrangement from a different angle. A fresh perspective is likely to reveal a number of benefits that you’ve been overlooking. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Some important changes are transpiring that are likely to be very advantageous for your career. Be on your toes and dress for success. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You could be unusually lucky when it comes to partnerships. Several alliances will prove beneficial and educational. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Though you may have been experiencing trouble in your social life lately, your material affairs will continue to go well. Each is operating under different aspects. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Important personal matters can be advanced if you are bold and assertive rather than laid-back. You’ll function best when you’re up-front about everything. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your material prospects look to be very encouraging, especially in arrangements you share with one or more people. Don’t be selfish and try to keep things for yourself.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

In the “Get Smart” television show, the agents from Control usually battled against the bad guys from Kaos. To be successful, bridge players must know how to control the trump suit; otherwise, the play might become chaotic. In this example deal, South is in four spades. The defenders start with two rounds of hearts. How should South continue? North’s sequence showed a game-invitational hand with exactly three spades. Although South had only 12 high-card points, his secondary club it made his hand worth game. Declarer has 10 winners: ive spades, two diamonds and three clubs. And if trumps are breaking 3-2, it will be easy to take those tricks. So South should wonder about a 4-1 spade split. To see why this is important, suppose declarer trumps the second round of hearts and starts to draw trumps. When he sees the 4-1 break, he will have to stop (or run out of trumps) and shift to clubs. But if East ducks the irst round, takes the second (seeing

West’s high-low to show a doubleton), and gives West a club ruff, the defenders will eventually get a diamond trick for down one. Since South is doomed to lose one diamond whatever happens, he should be happy to concede it at trick two, discarding a diamond from his hand instead of ruffing. Then if a third heart is played, declarer can ruff in the dummy, keeping his ive trumps intact. He can draw trumps, knock out the club ace and claim. Watch out for the loseron-loser play.

Fiona’s Finds:

A Collection of Current, Estate & Vintage

Downtown Crystal Lake Welcome to Fiona’s Finds, A Collection of Current, Estate & Vintage, and the newest boutique on the block! Owned by Jenny and Steve Dalzell of Dalzell Jewelers and their close friend Heidi Gaudiano of California, Fiona’s Finds opened its doors on January 29, 2013 and held an ofﬁcial Ribbon Cutting ceremony May 1, 2013. This boutique offers a carefully chosen one-of-a-kind selection of new and vintage furniture, home decor and childrens accessories. You’ll ﬁnd high quality pieces are at a great value, and there are many name brands to choose from including – but not limited to - Crate & Barrel, Drexel Heritage, Ethan Allen, Pottery Barn Kids and Z Gallerie. Steve and Jenny were inspired to open a home furnishings boutique after years of buying and selling estates that contained precious metals, jewelry, and coins. After several customers requested that they purchase and sell their home goods and personal items, it became apparent that there was a need in the community for a shop that offers an ever changing mix of smart and stylish items for the home. As an added bonus, for those items that have been previously owned, customers can feel good about being earth friendly by recycling and re-purposing, while also saving some green in their wallets. continued on back

Says Jenny Dalzell, “Fiona represents today’s shopper: she has an eye for style, is a smart spender, and wants things to last and be unique rather than all of the “assemble-it-yourself” kit furniture available everywhere. Fiona is fashionable and savvy. She knows quality items when she sees them, and has an eye for arranging new and gently used items together to make bold statements in home decor. Fiona enjoys an eclectic mix of colors, styles, time periods, woods, and ﬁnishes.” We all have a bit of Fiona in us, and we all love to shop and spend time with a friend like Fiona. Because she has good taste and understands a great value, Fiona can help you express your individual taste within your comfort level and budget. Fiona’s Finds makes shopping for your home furnishings easy and fun by offering free parking directly behind the building, a playroom for kids, as well as pick-up and delivery services. Items are smoke-free, pet-free and attractively priced. Visit ShopFionasFinds.com to view store hours and more information on the “Unique Boutique.” You can also ﬁnd Fiona’s on Facebook for exclusive coupons, view new arrivals and stay up-to-date with events and specials like Sidewalk Sales July 18-20, and their Off to School Event in August. --Featured Business article by Carolyn Dobbe

LIF

Firehouse lead singer CJ Snare tells tale behind the band’s biggest hit By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com

J Snare had yet to actually find the “Love of a Lifetime” when he wrote the song while playing piano in a hotel lounge. But what he had found was a hit power ballad. He just didn’t know it at the time. Written before Snare even became part of the hard rock band Firehouse – performing July 12 at McHenry’s Fiesta Days – the song almost didn’t make it onto the band’s first album. “Bon Jovi actually heard that song and said, ‘Put that away. Don’t use that song. It’ll ruin your career,’” Snare remembered of the band’s early days. When the band later worked on its first album in 1990, the producers were looking for a power ballad, other than “Midnight Fantasy,” a song Snare had written for the band’s demo. They talked about bringing in some outside writers. “I sheepishly raised my hand and said, ‘I have another one,’” Snare said of “Love Of A Lifetime,” which later became the rhythm for many a first slow dance. A classically trained pianist, playing since the age of 5, Snare had used a drum machine to write the ballad one night while rehearsing after a lounge show. “The song really wasn’t about any person,” he said. “I hate to say that because it takes some of the glamour out of it.” The song, as well as Firehouse’s numerous hit singles from its self-titled debut album, catapulted the band into stardom during the 1990s. With nine albums released, the latest being “Full Circle” in 2011, Firehouse has had a loyal following since its big-hair, rock band roots. Members Snare, guitarist Bill Leverty, drummer Michael Foster and bassist Perry Richardson continue to tour worldwide, a couple with, and a couple without, the big hair. Snare never really was a huge fan of the big hair. “When I wasn’t on tour, I really did wear it back in a ponytail all the time. It was so hot,” he said. “It wasn’t hard for me to snip it off. “I always thought it’s about the music. It’s not about the hair or the clothes you wore. Apparently, some fans felt very differently about that. I still

get asked to this day, ‘When are you going to grow your hair back?’ That was then. This is now.” Even though he performs with Firehouse all over the world, Snare also has a band with UK guitarist Chris Green. Going by the name Rubicon Cross, that band expects to release its first single in September. “It’s very much modern sort of rock,” Snare said. He intends to promote Rubicon Cross during his down time from Firehouse, and expects few conflicts between the two. “Firehouse is that band from the early-’90s and those hits and that time and that era, and the nostalgic thing, whereas this is a new band that is active,” he said. “It’s pulling in two different audiences.” Meanwhile, fans from not only the United States, but in Asia, South America, Europe and elsewhere, continue to sing along to the Firehouse hits many of them grew up loving. Other top-selling singles included “Don’t Treat Me Bad,” “Reach for the Sky,” “All She Wrote,” “I Live My Life For You” and “When I Look Into Your Eyes.” Firehouse was the first major international rock band to play concert dates in northeast India, when it sold out a stadium crowd of more than 40,000 in Shillong, setting a record for the city. The moment was one of Snare’s proudest in his musical career. “You can’t carry on a conversation with these folks in day-to-day life, but they all sing the words to your songs,” he said. “As an artist, that’s so gratifying. It’s like, ‘Wow, we really made an impact that way.’ ” Firehouse also won the American Music Award for Best New Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Band of 1991, edging out Nirvana and Alice in Chains. Snare remembers well when Dick Clark walked across the stage to shake their hands. All band members had prepared a speech, but were too nervous to speak and pushed Snare toward the microphone when the moment came. Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey and other legends were sitting in the front row. “I look like I’m really calm, but inside I’m going nuts,” Snare said. “It was the beginning of the end of an era. Nevertheless, it was mind-blowing.”

PLOT: Giant robots are built to combat sea

By JEFFREY WESTHOFF Another weekend in this summer of 2013 has arrived, and that can mean only one thing: the world is coming to an end again. In Guillermo del Toro’s visually thrilling but dramatically plodding “Pacific Rim,” Earth’s imminent demise will be caused by MORE enormous sea creatures ONLINE that emerge from the Watch the Pacific Ocean. They have trailer to traveled through a di“Pacific Rim” at mensional rift that opens PlanitNorthin a trench at the bottom west.com of the Pacific. The world’s governments unite and decide the best way to combat giant monsters is to build giant robots. That’s quite a leap of logic, and if you aren’t willing to go with it, you better stay home. Del Toro, who co-wrote the script with Travis Beacham (“Clash of the Titans”), treats this outlandish premise with dead seriousness, which is both the

monsters from another dimension that emerge from the Paciic Ocean. With the monsters winning the war, the leader of the robot warriors (Elba) lures a pilot (Hunnam) out of retirement for a last-ditch assault on the beasts. RATED: PG-13 for sequences of intense science-iction action and violence throughout, and for brief language RUNNING TIME: 2 hours, 11 minutes movie’s greatest strength and deepest flaw. “Pacific Rim” is del Toro’s loving tribute to the movies of Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra and their Toho Studios brethren. These are known as kaiju movies to purists, using the Japanese word for giant beasts, and the scientists in “Pacific Rim” name the monsters Kaiju. Del Toro simultaneously pays tribute to the related Japanese genre of giant robots, a history that includes Gigantor, the Shogun Warriors and dozens more. The deliriously demented 1960s Japanese show “Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot” proves to be a stronger influence on “Pacific Rim” than any Godzilla movie. The first surprise, and just about the only one, is that “Pacific Rim” is not

the movie you think it will be. It is the sequel to the movie you think it will be. All the stuff about the first monster attack (in San Francisco) and the construction and deployments of the giant robot army, called the Jaeger Program after the German word for “hunter,” is covered in a relatively brief, clip-filled recap at the outset, narrated by star Charlie Hunnam. In a Roland Emmerich movie, this material would have occupied the first 90 minutes. Hunnam plays Jaeger pilot Raleigh Becket, who co-pilots one of the robots, Gipsy Danger, with his brother (the robots are cybernetically controlled, and early trials revealed one person’s mind could not handle the stress). As they battle a monster off the coast of Alaska, Raleigh’s brother is killed and Raleigh is badly injured. This will be the first in a string of defeats for the Jaegers. The story resumes five years later. The world’s governments have decided to decommission the Jaegers in favor of barricading all Pacific coastlines with mile-high walls. The head of the Jaeger Program, Stacker Pentecost (Idris Elba), defies the governments and takes the remaining four Jaegers, including the rebuilt Gipsy Danger, to a stillfunctioning base in Hong Kong (government oversight of the Jaeger Program is monumentally lax) to wage a guerilla campaign against the monsters. “We’re not an army anymore,” Pentecost tells his followers. “We’re a resistance.”

Continued from page 15 Pentecost lures Raleigh out of retirement to pilot Gipsy Danger. But who will his new co-pilot be? Raleigh favors Pentecost’s young aide Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi, Oscar nominee for “Babel”). Pentecost forbids it, saying he has his reasons. You can guess how this will play out. The major problem with “Pacific Rim” is you can guess how most of it will play out. Like Quentin Tarantino, del Toro is a film fanatic who builds his movies from the spare parts of outdated genres. But while Tarantino will twist old tropes inside out, del Toro here presents them as stolidly as the films he borrowed them from. Look past the trappings of the Kaiju and the Jaegers, and “Pacific Rim” uses the same plot as any war picture about a hotshot pilot with a tragic past and a reckless streak who clashes repeatedly with a principled commanding officer. Del Toro even borrows from “Top Gun” with a rival pilot (Robert Kazinsky) who hates Raleigh’s style. All the flaws and predictability get blown off the screen once the fighting begins, and fortunately, the Jaeger-on-Kaiju action occurs often enough to get the audience’s adrenaline pumping but not long enough to leave the audience exhausted. Del Toro should give other directors of would-be tentpole picture lessons on pacing the CGI mayhem. The most exhilarating battle in “Pacific Rim,” a slugfest in Hong Kong, occurs in the middle of the story, not the end. Del Toro unleashes his inner-11-year-old during the action scenes, and the inner-11-year-old of anyone watching should be delighted. Actual 11-year-olds will think they are in monstermovie heaven. But you have to shut off any knowledge of physics during the fight sequences. A robot the size and weight of a skyscraper would not be able to move like an Olympic sprinter or a martial arts cham-

take stage at

Rockin’ Ribfest By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com

t’s shaping up to be an ideal weekend for some ribs with music on the side, say organizers of the Rockin’ Ribfest. The Lake in the Hills Rotary Club’s festival, which runs Thursday through Sunday at Sunset Park in Lake in the Hills, features some of the best barbecuers from throughout the country. And unlike last year when a heat wave limited attendance, the weather is expected to work in the festival’s favor. “It actually is looking fantastic,” said Jim Whales, chair of the festival. A new Community Rib Cook-off has been added this year to give area residents the chance to show off their barbecue skills alongside the pros. The competition, featuring 10 cookers, takes place Sunday. The professional ribbers, members of the National Barbecue Cookers Association, will promote their creations throughout the festival, drawing in barbecue lovers who anticipate the event annually. Organizers also have worked in recent years to bring in some of the best bands, hiring an outside contractor to assess demographics and draw in the big acts. “We have increased the budget in terms of entertainment because we think that is one of the main draws for the event,” Whales said. “None of us are experts in entertainment.” Each year, organizers have sought out at least one national act. This year, it’s Soul Asylum, the alternative rock band with the Grammy Award-winning single “Runaway

Train.” The band is set to release the digital EP “no fun intended” July 16 as the first in a series of four. Its 10th and most recent album, “Delayed Reaction,” featuring the hit “Gravity,” was released in 2012. The 1992 “Grave Dancers Union” album went triple platinum. With advisers saying the festival’s core audience entails those in their mid-30s to early 50s, organizers went with several tribute bands, as well. This year’s festival features tributes to Chicago, Led Zeppelin, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Eagles and The Rolling Stones. “That’s the music they’re looking to be entertained with,” Whales said of the expected audience. Along with the music and vendors, the festival features a car show and numerous other entertainment options. The event raises money for the Rotary Club, a service organization made up of business and professional leaders who donate money and time to local community organizations. “It helps the rotary fund all the community projects we participate in and foster throughout the year,” Whales said. “This is a chance for not only the local community, but the regional community as well, to come out and have a good time, while supporting a community organization.”

SPECIAL EVENT

Concours celebrates classic cars By DANIELLE ELLIOT planitnwhnews@shawmedia.com

assion and cars are set to collide this weekend at the seventh annual Barrington Concours d’Elegance. The Barrington Concours d’Elegance is a yearlong celebration of the automobile with nine other events besides this weekend’s events – called the crown jewel weekend by event organizers – each highlighting a different aspect of the automobile industry. “The Concours is a show of very rare, historic, multimillion dollar vehicles,” said Patty Dowd Schmitz, co-chairwoman and chief operating officer of the event. “You see special cars you don’t see anywhere else.” This weekend’s festivities start Friday night with a private celebration for the Legacy Club and the event’s biggest supporters. About 125 people will gather for a “Car-BQue” at the home of Mike and Ivy Guarise for a showing of their muscle car collection. Participants since 2007, the Guarises look forward to the annual event. “It’s fun to get together with people we see every year,” Ivy Guarise said. “We will have 12 to 15 cars on display, and people can mill around and enjoy the cars and garden. It’s a nice kickoff to the weekend.” On Saturday is a 40-mile road rally through the Barrington countryside. Anyone with tickets can participate, from families in minivans to Maseratis. “The drivers follow a set of cryptic directions to end up at Citizens Park for lunch,” Dowd Schmitz said. “It’s a fun family and community event.” Later in the evening is the only event of the weekend specifically designed for fundraising: the Charity Gala and VIP Cocktail Reception, when a “Great Gatsby Garden Party” will be held at the Barrington Hills Country Club. All proceeds go to the Legends and Legacies Foundation, which will benefit the Barrington Area Conservation Trust. “Over the seven years of the event, we have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars,” Dowd Schmitz said. “It’s a fun and fabulous event that people love, and to know that you’re giving back to the community as well makes it a win-win for everyone.” Sunday is the main attraction: Starting at 11 a.m., the public can view the 140 exhibits the Concours d’Elegance has to offer. The high-caliber cars and motorcycles – including Duesenbergs, Avions Voisins, Vincent motorcycles, Indy cars, Porsches and

There also will be a special celebration of 50 years of the Porsche 911 and 60 years of

the Corvette. “The fact that we have so many more exhibits this year than previous, and that we attracted so many spectacular rare cars, will make this a show that a lot of people from all over will want to see,” Dowd Schmitz said. Barrington residents also will have vehicles in the show, such as Hugh Ruthven, who has been collecting cars for more than 50 years and will display his 1958 Ferrari 250 GT. While some classic cars sit in the garage, Ruthven takes his to

several road rallies a year and also used to race the vehicle. “That’s what it’s all about,” he said. “To show off cars to the public.” Dowd Schmitz agreed that’s the best part of the weekend. “The owners are so passionate about their cars. They love talking about them and showing them off,” she said. “To see it come together at the end and see people happy and enjoying themselves with all the fantastic, lovely cars makes all the planning worth it.”

Mandy Z & Rural Route One makes the rounds this summer By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com As local country band Mandy Z & Rural Route One makes the rounds at area festivals and events this summer, Nashville, Tenn., is calling. The band, made up of members from Spring Grove, Fox Lake, Antioch and McHenry, performed in June as part of the CMA Fest 42nd annual Fan Fair. The event draws country music fans from around the world, with this year’s Fest also featuring artists such as Lady Antebellum, Luke Bryan, Little Big Town and Carrie Underwood. “It was definitely an awesome opportunity and experience to be part of that,” said Mandy Zahn, the “Mandy Z,” lead singer and songwriter for the band. The band, which plays country covers and originals, already has been invited back for next year. Its influences range from Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings to newer country artists, such as Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride and Sugarland. “We are a country band with country music, but none of the songs are the same,” Zahn said.

The band has featured songs trending toward rockabilly, honky tonk, pop country, blues and ballads, she said. It won FM 106.1 Milwaukee Country The World’s “Rock the Ark” competition in 2011. And its single, “Drinkin’ Song,” took fourth place nationally last year in the Texaco Country Showdown Songwriting Contest. Performing throughout the Midwest, Mandy Z & Rural Route One has had its award-winning singles debut on radio stations both in Nashville and in Milwaukee, Wis. The band’s latest single, “Baby I Need to See You,” is played on FM 106.1 Milwaukee Country. “Things have just really, really progressed and started moving in the direction we’ve been working toward for five years,” said Zahn, of Spring Grove. “If somebody would have told me five or 10 years ago that we’d have songs on the radio and that a song I wrote in 2004 would become a hit on the indie circuit, I would have never believed them,” she said. “Once you are lucky enough to find the right mesh of people to be a part of the project that have the same goals and vision, it’s anything you want to do, sky’s

the limit.” Along with Zahn, who’s performed in bands since age 10, the band features Jim Roxworthy on bass, Bart Alonzo and Patrick “Hutch” Hutchins on vocals and guitar and Bob Lindsley on drums and supporting vocals. All members come from a long line of musical experiences, playing on major stages throughout the country. Lindsley was part of the 1980s Jump ‘N the Saddle Band, known for its novelty song, “The Curly Shuffle.” When the band started, members were thankful to play one show a month, Zahn said. The band now has 82 shows booked this year, with hopes to eventually perform full time. Four of the band’s five members also have regular, full-time jobs. “We’re just taking everything as it comes and not taking anything at all for granted,” Zahn said. “It would be nice to be able to make a decent living and play music full time,” she said. “It’s not about making it big and fame. We do what we love, and we love what we do. Hopefully, we can get to the point where we’re comfortable enough to have that as our career.”
