F.H. Paschen employee Jim Biondo works Wednesday on a retaining wall near Huntington Drive in Algonquin. The Algonquin bypass project is expected to cost $33.3 million, which includes construction of about two miles of a four-lane divided highway, a diamond interchange, four new bridges, retaining walls and noise abatement walls west of downtown Algonquin. The project is estimated to be finished in August 2014.

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com As gas prices rise and people buy less of it, local governments are finding the gas taxes collected aren’t keeping up with the rising cost of building and maintaining their roadways. For each gallon of gas bought in McHenry County, 41.4 cents is paid in motor-fuel taxes, with 18.4 cents going to the federal government, 19 cents to the state and 4 cents to the county. After the state takes its cut, it

distributes the remainder to local governments including counties, townships and municipalities, so they can maintain their roads. But that pool of money is shrinking: Miles driven by motorists in the United States is down about 2.35 percent since 2005, according Federal Highway Administration data. More than 106 billion miles were driven in Illinois in 2012, down from a high of 108.6 billion miles in 2005. At the same time, gas prices remain high. On Wednesday, the national average price of gas was $3.627, according to AAA. A

year ago, it was $3.500. In Illinois, Wednesday’s average price was $3.835, compared to $3.718 a year ago. And since the state formula used to distribute the gas tax funds to municipalities is tied to population, it’s resulted in some communities seeing increases in the amount they receive while others have seen drops. The city of Woodstock, for example, saw the amount of motor-fuel tax dollars received stay

Two Harvard women were involved in a large-scale international check-processing scam, according to the Warsaw, Ind.-based Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office. Desiree Starlette Blackburn, 20, and Barbara Ickes, 39, have been charged with felony counts of corrupt business influence and control, as well as attempted theft. Ickes also was charged with felony forgery. An investigation began after a Warsaw, Ind., man told sheriff’s detectives he was being scammed, according to a Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office news release. Officers later determined the fraudulent check was part of a Nigerian check scam. The Nigerian check scam often originates with a response to a Craigslist advertisement. The responder sends a phony check for more than the item is worth with instructions to distribute the remaining amount to other locations. The fraudulent check then was tracked back to a residence in Harvard, where Ickes was believed to reside, the release states. Detectives were able to track the check through a fake transaction arranged with the help of the victim. Members of the Harvard Police Department later found elaborate check-printing equipment, which used fake banking institutions, in the home, authorities said.

Little restraint to military giveaways The ASSOCIATED PRESS MORVEN, Ga. – Smalltown police departments across the country have been gobbling up tons of equipment discarded by a downsizing military – bicycles, bed sheets, bowling pins, French horns, dog collars, even a colonoscopy machine – regardless of whether the items are needed or will ever be used. In the tiny farming community of Morven, Ga., the police chief has grabbed three boats, scuba gear, rescue rafts and a few dozen life preservers. The town’s deepest body of water: an ankle-deep creek. An Associated Press investigation of the Defense Department program, aimed at helping local law enforcement fight terrorism and drug trafficking, found that a disproportionate share of the $4.2 billion worth of property distributed since 1990 has been obtained by police depart-

The small Georgia town has accumulated around $4 million in equipment for its three officers. ments and sheriff’s offices in rural areas with few officers and little crime. The national giveaway program operates with scant oversight, and the surplus military gear often sits in storage, the AP found. Using a series of public records requests, the AP ob-

tained thousands of pages of emails and other documents related to the program locally and nationally. The documents, along with interviews with participants and regulators, reveal that staffing shortages and budget constraints have made it difficult for fed-

eral and state program officials to keep track of the property and prevent police from obtaining excessive amounts of used military equipment and other Defense Department-transferred property. Program officials often have to trust recipients to follow the rules and take only what they can use; requests for equipment are reviewed, but the process hasn’t stopped many departments from grabbing property that could be better used by other communities with a greater need. For many, the opportunity to amass a vast array of gear with few strings attached has proven to be too tempting to pass up, leading to a belly-upto-the-open-bar mentality. Morven Police Chief Lynwood Yates, for example, has acquired a decontamination machine originally worth $200,000 for his community of about 700 residents. The hightech gadget is missing most

of its parts and would need $100,000 worth of repairs. He also received a shipment of bayonets, which have never made it out of storage in his 1.7-square-mile city. “That was one of those things in the old days you got it because you thought it was cool,” Yates said of his bayonets. “Then, after you get it, you’re like, ‘What the hell am I going to do with this?’” Morven isn’t the only example of a giveaway program gone wild: Before his firing earlier this year for an unrelated matter, the police chief in Rising Star, Texas – the only full-time officer in the town of 835 residents – acquired more than $3.2 million worth of property within 14 months. The hundreds of items included nine televisions, 11 computers, three deep-fat fryers, two meat slicers, 22 large space heaters, a pool table, 25 sleeping bags and playground equipment.

Ill. lawmakers to miss paychecks over pensions No money for Legislature, Quinn unless court steps in By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Illinois lawmakers were set to lose their paychecks Thursday barring a court’s intervention, but there still appeared to be no end in sight to a stalemate over the state’s $100 billion pension mess that prompted Gov. Pat Quinn to withhold their salaries.

Members of the eight-member bipartisan pension committee say they are several weeks away from presenting a plan to fix the state’s worstin-the nation $100 billion unfunded pension liability. State Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka told The Associated Press on Wednesday that she will have no choice but to withhold paychecks 177 lawmakers were set to receive

Thursday. Quinn used the line-item veto of a budget bill to eliminate legislative salaries in apparent retaliation for their inaction on pension reform. Legislative leaders have filed a lawsuit asking a court to issue the paychecks Thursday as scheduled, but by late Wednesday there was no signal that the court would intervene.

Topinka said she also would be withholding Quinn’s paycheck, per his request. However, because of the way Quinn changed the bill, his salary could be restored at any time, she said. Lawmakers would have to return to session to reinstate their pay, and even then Quinn could use his veto pen to eliminate it again. Speaking at an event Wednesday, Quinn declined to elaborate on why he chose to eliminate lawmaker sala-

ries but not his own. “I think what I did was the appropriate way to go,” he said. Pension committee members said they are still waiting on savings estimates as they prepare a proposal developed by the University of Illinois’ Institute for Government and Public Affairs and touted by several of the state’s university presidents. While Quinn has mused about the idea of a special session dealing with pension

reform around the time of the Illinois State Fair in mid-August, committee member Mike Zalewski said it would be difficult to have something to show by then. “Calling a special session the week of the fair when we haven’t completed our work doesn’t make any sense,” said Zalewski, D-Riverside. “It’d be better for us to conclude our work and present it to the two chambers and say we really stand behind what we accomplish here.”

Simon to run for comptroller Governor plans to sign bill to allow medical marijuana By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon ended five months of uncertainty about her political future on Wednesday by launching her 2014 bid for Illinois state comptroller, likely setting her up for a tough race against one of the state’s most successful Republican officeholders. Simon, a Democrat, formally announced her plan during a campaign stop in downtown Chicago, where she vowed she would be “the most aggressive fiscal watchdog this state has ever seen.” She was scheduled to appear in Springfield and her hometown of Carbondale by day’s end.

Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon, a Democrat, said Wednesday that she will run in 2014 for the office of comptroller.

“I want to go beyond just transparency and where there is corruption and misspending,” she told The Associated Press ahead of her announcement. “Let’s engage people about where we’re spending money as a state. Let’s all be watchdogs.” Simon is likely to face at least one Democratic challenger in the primary: Will County Auditor Duffy Blackburn has mentioned plans to run. The primary win-

ner would face a tough race against Republican Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka, a former three-term state treasurer who lost the 2006 governor’s race to Rod Blagojevich. Topinka, who is a former state lawmaker, once served as head of the Illinois Republican Party. Along with experience in winning statewide offices, Topinka has a fundraising advantage, reporting more than $805,000 cash on hand at the end of the second quarter, compared with $272,000 for Simon and $25,300 for Blackburn. Simon said she’s up for the challenge. “I’m looking forward to a good competitive race,” she said at the news conference.

‘Hops’ lead to millions of records The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama’s national security team acknowledged for the first time Wednesday that, when investigating one suspected terrorist, it can read and store the phone records of millions of Americans. Since it was revealed recently that the National Security Agency puts the phone records of every American into a database, the Obama administration has assured the nation that such records are rarely searched and, when they are, only suspected international terrorists are targeted. Testimony before Congress on Wednesday showed how

easy it is for Americans with no connection to terrorism to unwittingly have their calling patterns analyzed by the government. It hinges on what’s known as “hop” or “chain” analysis. When the NSA identifies a suspect, it can look not just at his phone records, but also the records of everyone he calls, everyone who calls those people and everyone who calls those people. If the average person called 40 unique people, three-hop analysis would allow the government to mine the records of 2.5 million Americans when investigating one suspected terrorist. The NSA has said it con-

ducted 300 searches of its telephone database last year. Left unsaid until Wednesday was that three-hop analysis off those searches could mean scrutinizing the phone records of tens or even hundreds of millions of people. “So what has been described as a discrete program, to go after people who would cause us harm, when you look at the reach of this program, it envelopes a substantial number of Americans,” said Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate. John Inglis, the NSA’s deputy director, conceded the point but said NSA officials “try to be judicious” about conducting hop analysis.

The Associated Press CHICAGO – After months of keeping his decision-making close to the vest, Gov. Pat Quinn is set to sign legislation Thursday that will make the state the 20th in the nation to legalize marijuana for medical use. The Chicago Democrat will center his remarks on military veterans – something that’s been a focus in his governorship – and the chronically ill. He’ll also tout how the standards in the bill are some of the nation’s toughest, according to a copy of his plans obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press. Quinn had been mum for months about what he was going to do with the legislation, saying only that he had heard compelling testimony from sick patients and was staying “open-minded.” That was even as Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon came forward in support.

WAUKEGAN – A northern Illinois man has been sentenced to life in prison for a 2004 shooting that killed two North Chicago residents. The Waukegan News-Sun reported that Zion resident March Brown, 27, was sentenced this week for the shooting deaths of Remorrian Gordon, 23, and Shabrina Gully, who was 22 when she was shot. Gordon died at the scene after being shot four times. But Gully, who was shot in the face, survived. She was paralyzed and died almost five years

The bill creates a framework for a pilot program that includes requiring patients and caregivers to undergo background checks. It also sets a 2.5-ounce limit per patient per purchase and sets out state-regulated dispensaries. Opponents have expressed worries about encouraging recreational use, especially among teenagers. Others including the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police and the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association opposed the measure over concerns about motorists driving under the influence of marijuana. Lang, the bill’s sponsor, has dismissed those concerns, saying the measure was designed to be one of the strictest in the country and there will be mechanisms in place to closely track all plants and sales.

House approves lower rates on student loans By PHILIP ELLIOTT The Associated Press WASHINGTON – A bipartisan bill that would reduce the costs of borrowing for millions of students passed the House on Wednesday and was heading to President Barack Obama for his signature. The legislation links student loan interest rates to the financial markets, offering lower rates for most students now but higher ones down the line if the economy improves as expected. Even as they were preparing to pass the bill, many lawmakers were already talking about a broader approach to curbing fast-climbing costs. “Going forward, the whims of Washington politi-

cians won’t dictate student loan interest rates, meaning more certainty and more opportunities for students to take advantage of lower rates,” House Speaker John Boehner said. The measure passed 392-31. Rep. John UndergradKline uates this fall would borrow at a 3.9 percent interest rate for subsidized and unsubsidized loans. Graduate students would have access to loans at 5.4 percent, and parents would borrow at 6.4 percent. The rates would be locked in for that year’s loan, but each year’s loan could be more expensive than the last.

Rates would rise as the economy picks up and it becomes more expensive for the government to borrow money. But for now, interest payments for tuition, housing and books would be less expensive under the Housepassed bill. “Changing the status quo is never easy, and returning student loan interest rates to the market is a longstanding goal Republicans have been working toward for years,” said Rep. John Kline, the Republican chairma n of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. “I applaud my colleagues on the other side of the aisle for finally recognizing this longterm, market-based proposal for what it is: a win for students and taxpayers.”

Egypt orders camps cleared; protesters are more serious By MAGGIE MICHAEL The Associated Press CAIRO – Protesters holding sticks and wearing helmets and makeshift body armor stand behind mounds of sandbags, tires and brick walls. They change guards every two hours to ensure they stay alert. With Egypt’s military-backed government signaling a crackdown is imminent, supporters of ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi are taking no chances with security at their two protest camps in Cairo. On Wednesday, the Cabinet ordered the police to break up the sit-ins, saying they pose an “unacceptable threat” to national security. Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim said

the order will be carried out in gradual steps according to instructions from prosecutors. “I hope they resort to reason” and leave without authorities having to move in, he told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. Ahmed Sobaie, spokesman for the Muslim Brotherhood’s political arm, the Freedom and Justice party, derided the Cabinet decision as “paving the way for another massacre.” “The police state is getting ready to commit more massacres against the innocent, unarmed civilians holding sit-ins for the sake of legitimacy,” he said. In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf appealed to the military-led government to avoid

violence. “We have continued to urge the interim government officials and security forces to respect the right of peaceful assembly,” she said. “That obviously includes sitins.” Organizers are portraying the sit-ins outside the Rabaah al-Adawiya mosque in eastern Cairo and a smaller one across the city near Cairo University’s main campus as evidence of an enduring support base for Morsi’s once-dominant Muslim Brotherhood. The Brotherhood has so far refused to cooperate with the country’s interim leaders, whom it calls “traitors,” or participate in a military-backed fast-track transition plan to return to a democratically elected government by early next year.

8NATION BRIEF Obama offers uplifting words to wary Dems WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama sought to calm jittery Democrats Wednesday as they prepared to head home to face voters, assuring them they’re “on the right side of history” despite problems with the launch of his massive health care overhaul and an immigration fight with Republicans. In back-to-back closed sessions with House and Senate Democrats, Obama delivered his broad message about economic prosperity and expanding the

middle class. But in return he was confronted with questions from Democrats who are nervous about implementation of the health care law as they look ahead to town hall meetings during the August recess – and to midterm elections next year. The sessions came just days before lawmakers leave the capital for a six-week recess and the prospect of facing constituents back home at town halls at a time when polls show Congress being held in low regard.

Kiferbaum apologizes at sentencing hearing • KIFERBAUM Continued from page A1 Mercy Health System announced plans in 2003 to build a 70-bed hospital at Route 31 and Three Oaks Road in Crystal Lake. The Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board, the agency in charge at the time of granting permission to build hospitals in the state, voted 8-0 to issue an intent to deny permission, concluding the facility was too small and too close to other hospitals. But the board abruptly reversed course in April 2004 and granted permission by one vote. The vote sparked suspicions of corruption – one member voted “present” before fellow board member Stuart Levine went up to him and whispered, “Tony wants this done today.” “Tony” turned out to be former Blagojevich fundraiser Antoin Rezko, who planned to split a $1.5 million kickback from Kiferbaum with Levine. Kiferbaum’s defense said in a pre-sentencing filing that it was his cooperation that set off the chain of events that led to Blagojevich’s arrest in 2008. Blagojevich is serving a 14year prison term for multiple corruption conviction, including his attempt to trade or sell President Barack Obama’s vacated Senate seat. Mercy officials were never charged with wrongdoing, but a McHenry County judge invalidated the planning board’s approval. Mercy has made subsequent attempts to

build a hospital at the Crystal Lake location, which the successor authority, the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board, has denied. A tearful Kiferbaum apologized to his family and the court Wednesday before the sentence was announced. Kiferbaum, the son of Holocaust survivors, wrote in a six-page letter to U.S. District Judge John F. Grady that his decline began after he built Kiferbaum Construction into a profitable business. “I didn’t know how to handle that success and the world of the rich, powerful and influential people I found myself in,” he said. “I lost my moral compass and couldn’t properly guide myself in that environment that was worlds away from where and what I had come from.” Kiferbaum and his attorneys lay much of the blame on Levine, an admitted swindler and longtime drug addict who was indicted at the same time as Kiferbaum. Levine went on to serve as a key government witness and was sentenced last year to 5½ years in prison for money laundering and fraud. Rezko was sentenced in 2011 to 10½ years for corruption, minus almost four years for time served. The final conviction to come from Operation Board Games was that of former Republican powerbroker William Cellini, who began serving his one-year prison sentence in January.

County share down 10.2 percent in 5 years • GAS TAX Continued from page A1 about level, increasing by about $10,000 from 2008 to 2012. The city of McHenry, on the other hand, saw a slight decline. The motor-fuel tax collected by McHenry County – the 4 cents for each gallon – dropped 10.2 percent from $4.7 million in 2007 to $4.2 million in 2012, according to the McHenry County Division of Transportation. When the rate of inflation is factored in, the drop is even more significant at 18.9 percent, according to county documents. At the same time, overall construction costs have risen more than 40 percent over the past decade, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation. The main driver in the increasing costs of projects is asphalt, which jumped 11.2 percent from 2011 to 2012. With the same amount of dollars coming in, but costs continuing to rise, the city repaves fewer blocks, Woodstock City Engineer Al Wilson said. To make up the shortfall, the county and municipalities are finding other revenue streams to supplement their projects. The city of Woodstock uses money from its capital improvement fund, which gets its revenue from the city’s telecommunications tax, City Manager Roscoe Stelford said. The fund is earmarked for purchases of at least $10,000, big-ticket items such as police cars, dump trucks, park facilities and stormwater improvements, he said. “It’s sustainable, but it does limit the other types of infrastructure improvements the city can do,” Stelford said. “If you spend money on [roadways], you can’t spend it on something else.” The big street improvement projects being done

Gas price breakdown For each gallon of gasoline sold, 18.4 cents goes to the federal government, 19 cents to the state and 4 cents to McHenry County.

Where governments are turning Local governments are using public-private partnerships, alternate revenue bonds, special assessment districts, tax increment finance districts and property taxes funneled into the general fund to make up the shortfall, according to the McHenry County Division of Transportation. Funding for highways alone would need to increase about 50 percent to make up the difference, according to the Illinois Association of County Engineers.

“I think we have to find other sources of funding. There’s only so many [motor-fuel tax] dollars, and as more roads get built and the roads get older, the costs of maintaining them continually go up.” Al Wilson

Where state motor-fuel tax dollars go The 19 cents collected on each gallon of gasoline goes through a three-step formula process. 1. Each month set amounts are transferred to different state funds, including $420,000 to the State Boating Act Fund, $3.5 million to improve railway and highway crossing safety and administer the state’s railroad safety program, and enough to cover other expenses of managing the fund. 2. The remainder is then split between state and local governments, 45.6 percent to 54.4 percent. 3. Of the portion that goes to local governments, 49.1 percent goes to municipalities based on their population, 16.74 percent goes to Cook County, 18.27 percent is split among the counties based on the license fees collected, and 15.89 percent goes to township road districts based on the total miles of roads in the district. in the city of McHenry are being funded in large part through state and federal grants, Finance Director Carolyn Lynch said. Those grants are limited, though, and require the project to involve state or federal roads. “It’s great; it’s just finding it,” Lynch said. “The federal government, for a couple of years, was putting money into the economy, but I don’t know if that’s going to continue. They’re also for state routes. You’re not going to get that kind of funding for neighborhood roads. Those are going to be our responsibility.” The year before, the city decided to take out a loan so it could resurface a large number of city roads at once, which means that while the city has to pay financing on the project, it got a better price on the project itself, she said. Woodstock decided to go

with smaller projects, doing a few miles of roadway each year, Wilson said. This year, the city is resurfacing 2.95 miles of roadway. Last year, it got to 4.4 miles, Wilson said. At this rate, the city can’t get to each of the 125 miles of roadway in the city every eight to 10 years as the Public Works Department would prefer. “I think we have to find other sources of funding,” Wilson said. “There’s only so many [motor-fuel tax] dollars, and as more roads get built and the roads get older, the costs of maintaining them continually go up.” The state transportation department offered 12 ideas to buttress transportation funding in a 2012 report, including raising the motor-fuel tax, charging drivers based off miles traveled rather than gasoline consumed, creating special pay-to-use lanes and changing the way

Woodstock city engineer tolls are charged, perhaps charging more during peak hours. Some have advocated overhauling the way transportation projects are funded. A coalition of business and labor groups called the Transportation for Illinois Coalition has offered a proposal that would raise an additional $800 million annually. Bills including the ideas have been filed in the Illinois House and Senate. The plan calls for doing away with the state motor-fuel tax and replacing it with a 9.5 percent tax on the wholesale price of fuel, increasing vehicle registration and title fees and eliminating the ethanol tax credit. Pointing to the fact that the state gas tax hasn’t been raised since 1991, the proposed changes would include tying revenue streams to inflation. “The proposal consciously recognizes that local roads deserve a dedicated revenue stream from the state to be used for the ongoing maintenance of the existing system,” said Doug Whitley, president and CEO of Illinois Chamber of Commerce. The added revenue would still only be a “drop in the bucket,” he said, referencing a coalition report that puts the price tag on all the needed projects in the state at $75 billion.

Some sense needed with motorcycles Motorcycle-related deaths are on the rise in Illinois. The numbers say as much. Data from the Illinois Department of Transportation indicate fatal motorcycle accidents increased statewide by 13 percent from 2010 (131 deaths) to 2012 (148 deaths). State officials say that 110 of the 145 people who died in 2011 weren’t wearing helmets. Locally, there For the record were five motorcycle-related Motorcycle safety in Illinois deaths in McHenis a common-sense issue, not a ry County in 2012 legislative issue. and four in 2011. This year, there have been at least four serious motorcycle crashes in the county, killing two. On top of that, more people are riding motorcycles. In the past decade, there has been a 57 percent increase in the number of registered motorcyclists in Illinois. With more motorcycle riders comes the need for awareness – from all motorcyclists and automobile drivers. Motorcycle safety in Illinois is a common-sense issue, but not a legislative issue. In addition to motorcyclists knowing and practicing the rules of the road, the Motorcycle Safety Foundation lists on its website five key messages for riders: • Get trained and licensed; • Wear protective gear – all the gear, all the time – including a helmet manufactured to the standards set by the department of transportation; • Ride unimpaired by alcohol or other drugs; • Ride within your own skill limits; • Be a lifelong learner by taking refresher rider courses. Of course, all the helmets and safety classes in the world will not protect a motorcyclist from reckless automobile drivers. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation has these tips for automobile drivers regarding motorcycles: • Take an extra moment to look for motorcycles, whether you’re changing lanes or turning at intersections; • Allow more following distance for motorcycles; • Understand that motorcyclists adjust lane position for a purpose, not to be reckless or show off or to allow you to share the lane with them; • Don’t expect a motorcyclist to always be able to dodge out of the way. With common-sense approach to motorcycle safety for riders and automobile drivers, we, hopefully, can reverse the trend of motorcyclerelated fatalities in Illinois.

Separate tax issues You knew that Illinois lawmakers would break their promise that the 66 percent incometax-rate increase they approved in 2011 would be temporary. But now they’re trying to cloud the issue with talk of switching from a flat tax to a progressive tax. These are two separate issues, and this effort to intermingle them is a real disservice to taxpayers. Illinois has never had a revenue problem; it has a spending problem. When revenues came in higher than expected this year, did the legislators use that extra money to pay off existing debts? No, they increased spending. Belleville News-Democrat

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Weighing in on Trayvon To the Editor: Mr. Gullang mostly had me until the last paragraph in his letter to the editor (“Move along,” July 23). So I reread the transcript of President Obama’s statement and nowhere did I see a call to retry or investigate George Zimmerman. In his remarks, which were well received by many conservative as well as liberal pundits, he called for an understanding of many AfricanAmericans’ feelings on our system of justice. Obama also called for action in regard to stand-yourground laws. Zimmerman was found not guilty, and reasonable doubt seemed to have been established. Of course, this was made easier by the fact that the prosecution’s best witness was dead at the defendant’s hand. Many who agree with the verdict don’t think Zimmerman is innocent. Mr. Mengarelli (“A larger issue,” July 23) paints with a wide brush. If what he believes of all AfricanAmerican youth is true, it is true for all youth in America. Trayvon Martin was walking in a neighborhood that he had every right to be in, going to be with his father. Maybe his father was his positive role model, as mine is for me. What reaction would have saved Trayvon? Leave the area? Was he being pursued by Zimmerman? Does he have a right to stand his ground? Is it survival of the fittest? During the trial, it seemed there was much evidence that Zimmerman could’ve avoided the situation. As for Trayvon, we don’t know

what he thought or did because he’s dead, and witness accounts differ. Jim Proctor Woodstock

Too late to repeal ACA To the Editors: The Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare) is far from perfect, and I rightly criticized the law in a series of letters published here. ACA’s major problem is its length and complexity. There were too many provisions crammed into what could have been a simpler and more understandable law. Ideally, this would have been remedied by promptly undoing ACA and getting it right the second time (repeal and replace). But Washington doesn’t do things the ideal way. And in the meantime, virtually all of the law has taken effect. It’s too late to repeal. Further, there are good parts of the law that shouldn’t be rolled back even if it were possible. The health insurance industry (in which I am employed) has committed significant resources since ACA’s 2010 passage to comply. Entire systems, products and operations have been greatly changed. To try to roll it all back now would do more harm than good. Congressional Republicans mean well but, with almost 40 repeal votes, they need to move from symbolism to substance. The priority is retaining what’s right about ACA – getting to universal health

Ecological disturbance To the Editor: In the 1970s, scientists of the International Biological Program defined the health of an ecosystem as the evolved diversity of its dominant life forms. Natural diversity contributes to resilience and stability, which, over long periods of time, allows for a proliferation of mutually beneficial interactions, both within and between species. A healthy ecosystem becomes more diverse, more resilient, more productive, and, thereby, more healthy. The human species was an evolutionary product of a oncehealthy ecosystem. Conversely, a disturbed ecosystem, in losing diversity, becomes less resilient, less productive, and less healthy over time. If the disturbance continues, the ecosystem

is eventually reduced to a weed patch of more primitive organisms eking out an existence in increasingly sterile – or septic – surroundings. Earth is an ecosystem bound by ecosystem laws. The explosion of the human population is proving the gravest of all ecological disturbances, decimating Earth’s accumulated biological diversity. By failing to control our own reproduction, we are now destroying the health of Earth’s ecosystems and, therewith, the basis for our own existence as a species. The crucial first step in restoring the health of Earth’s ecosystems – and in ensuring our own species’ survival – is dramatically reducing the human population and, thereby, its devastating consumption, to numbers well below 1 billion. The most humane way to do this is to voluntarily reduce our reproduction to below replacement. The guideline for every young family worldwide now should be “One will do, but please stop at two.” There’s no time to waste. Donovan C. Wilkin Woodstock

How many days is Quinn actually in Springfield? Not many SPRINGFIELD – During the past year, Gov. Pat Quinn spent less than 14 percent of his time actually working in Springfield. In fact, the governor spent almost as much time on trips outside of Illinois as he did in the state’s capital. From July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013, Quinn spent 50 days doing at least some work in Springfield, according to his personal schedule, which I obtained through the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. By way of comparison, he spent 48 days traveling outside the Land of Lincoln. Among his stops during the year: Mexico, Brazil and Germany. I wasn’t surprised by the findings. After all, it’s pretty obvious to any statehouse observer that he doesn’t spend much time in the city where the state is actually governed. I note this with a bit of regret,

remembering full well that Quinn promised when he became governor that he would live in Springfield. And let’s not forget that taxpayers pay roughly $500,000 a year to maintain the governor’s mansion – that he refuses to reside in for even one-fifth of the year. He isn’t the first of the state’s chief executives to make this transgression. Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich didn’t live in Springfield, either. You’ll recall during his cameo appearances in the capital, Blago would swoop in aboard a state jet and fly home to Chicago the same day. The sheets at the governor’s mansion hardly seemed to get rustled for six years. His excuse? He didn’t want his kids to be raised in the Springfield media spotlight.

VIEWS Scott Reeder But Pat Quinn is a bachelor. What’s his justification? I asked his office Monday, and its response is that Quinn lives in both Chicago and Springfield. But in the past, Quinn has insisted that he does live in Springfield. In fact, in 2010 he publicly disclosed that’s where he keeps his underwear. Well, either he’s got a change of clothes stashed somewhere else in the state or he’s changing way too infrequently. Heck, for four of the past 12 months, he didn’t bother to step foot into the governor’s mansion. Not everyone has taken the

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Quinn/Blagojevich approach. • Jim Edgar made Springfield his primary home while he was governor. • Jim Thompson split his time as governor between Chicago and Springfield. • George Ryan spent considerable time in Chicago, Springfield and in his Kankakee home. While I didn’t always agree with the agenda’s these governors pushed, I can say having covered all of their administrations that they were effective in pushing their plans. The fact of the matter is I don’t care where a governor lies at night. But I do care if he is lying during the day. Within moments of taking office, Quinn promised to reside in the Executive Mansion. “It’s going to get a good workout

this year,” Quinn told reporters at his first news conference. But the next year, a Chicago Tribune analysis found that he only spent 55 nights in the Executive Mansion in the year after the statement. As my research found, it hasn’t changed much since then. His residency has been intermittent at best. I know, some folks are going to accuse me of regional parochialism. But it’s more than that. To quote Woody Allen: “80 percent of success is just showing up.” And when it comes to leading in Springfield, Pat Quinn hasn’t been showing up. • Scott Reeder is a veteran statehouse reporter and the journalist in residence at the Illinois Policy Institute.

WL MAN PLEADS GUILTY IN DRUG CASE WOODSTOCK – A Wonder Lake man received 4 ∏ years in prison after pleading guilty to drug charges. Anthony L. Simon, 47, pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a controlled substance with the intent to deliver. The substance was heroin. A plea agreement was accepted Wednesday by McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather. Simon was charged in Crystal Lake on April 13 with possessing more than 1 gram, but less than 15 grams of heroin. He was on drug court probation when he picked up the new drug charge. In 2011, he was charged with possession of a controlled substance.

Vacancy filled in Woodstock Ruscko to take over as city’s public works director in mid-August By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Woodstock has selected Lakewood’s current public works director to fill the same position for the city, ending a nine-month search. Paul Ruscko will take over as the head of Wood-

stock public works starting in mid-August. He replaces longtime director John Isbell, who retired from the city in November, but served in an advisory role during the spring budget season. “[Isbell] was there for about 30 years,” Ruscko said. “So this opportunity doesn’t come around every day.”

Ruscko, of McHenry, will take over a fulltime equivalent staff of 49 employees. He managed six or Paul Ruscko seven employees in Lakewood. His public works budget also jumps from about $2.5

million in Lakewood to a Woodstock public works budget that comes in at about $6 million each year. The public works department includes seven divisions: streets, parks, water treatment, wastewater treatment, sewer and water maintenance, fleet maintenance and administration.

McHENRY – A McHenry woman plans on using the $200,000 she won through the Lucky Day Lotto to buy a house, according to an Illinois Lottery news release. Rosalina Deinlein picked the winning numbers – 03-06-1126-30 – for the July 12 lotto at random. She bought her ticket at Meijer Gas, 2149 N. Richmond Road, McHenry, which will receive a $2,000 bonus, equal to 1 percent of the prize amount, for selling the winning ticket. This is the second-largest prize to be sold recently in McHenry. The 7-Eleven at 3808 W. Elm St. sold a $1 million winning ticket for the June 12 Powerball drawing.

Competing against 12 other young women, 18-year-old Savannah Kleiner of Lake in the Hills took home the crown Wednesday. “I’m speechless,” she said. “I’m excited. I’m happy. Every emotion I can possibly think of.” When it comes to pageants, Kleiner is 2 for 2. She recently won Miss Lake in the Hills, a competition she decided to enter as a challenge to herself to get out of her comfort zone. “I thought it was a great opportunity to polish my public speaking skills and interview skills as well,” Kleiner said. They’re skills Kleiner will need for her future plans. She graduated from Huntley High School in the spring and will attend Butler University this fall to

HUNTLEY – District 158 officials will alone pay for the $15 million field house addition attached to the Huntley High School expansion, after Huntley Park District officials expressed concerns over finances and future needs. Superintendent John Burkey contacted the park district about a possible partnership and help with splitting the field house cost after the Huntley school district unveiled plans in January to expand its high school to accommodate the 3,000 students expected to be enrolled by 2019. The project’s architects estimated in a July board meeting that a field house would cost $15 million of the projected $35 million total to expand both the high school’s interior and exterior. But no one at the meeting mentioned the possible partnership with the park district that Burkey alluded to earlier in the year and that’s because the project didn’t fit into the park district’s longterm plans, Executive Director Thom Palmer said. “From the park district’s point of view, the plan was not in conjunction with our comprehensive plan,” Palmer said. “That, with the finances, ended our conversation at that point.” The park district and school district have partnered together in the past. The school district often has hosted the park district’s

Comment period on Fox Bluff plan ends soon By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com Faced with unsanitary conditions, crowded slums and overwhelming poverty, Chicago’s charitable organizations in the early 1900s thought fresh air could be the solution. Poor, urban children and their mothers stayed with families in small towns or on farms. Those programs eventually evolved into summer camps such as Camp Algonquin, according to documents provided by Metropolitan Family Services, for-

“Should the conservation district concern itself with historic structures beyond the area of trails and nature? That’s a decision that the district needs to come to an agreement on, and the public needs to let them know what they think about this.” Kurt Begalka, McHenry County Historical Society’s administrator merly United Charities, the charitable organization that operated the camp for most of its history. After renditions in Oak Park and Evanston, the camp settled on 20 acres, bought for $350 an acre, on the Fox River between Algonquin and Cary in May 1907. Camp Algonquin went

through many changes over the years before its last operator, the YMCA of McHenry County, filed for bankruptcy in January 2011 and the camp was closed two months later. The property owner, the McHenry County Conservation District, has been in discussions since then about what to do with the site,

which includes the former campsite and the overall 279acre Fox Bluff Conservation Area. Four plans were submitted to the district’s board earlier this year, and based off comments from the board and the public, a final plan has been proposed. The online public com-

ment period on that plan ends Friday. It proposes providing kayak and canoe access at the Fox River along with a paved trail leading to a pier, recognizing the Gillilan farmstead as a historical area, developing a pedestrian trail system, and incorporating some elements from the historical original plan for the 20 acres that make up Camp Algonquin. That plan, dated February 1911, was designed by the well-regarded landscape

LAKE IN THE HILLS: SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS

SPRING GROVE: $1.8 MILLION PROPOSAL

SG considers expanding water system LITH receives grant By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com SPRING GROVE – The price tag to hook the business district up to village water has some Spring Grove officials wondering whether phasing it in would be the better option. The $1.8 million proposal – as laid out for the village president and trustees at the village’s Finance Committee meeting Tuesday evening – would run water lines where the village currently has sewer. No decisions have been made on how the project would be funded, but the committee decided to get solid numbers on what it would cost to install the system in one go and piecemeal. The village has applied for a low-interest Illinois Environmental Protection Agency loan for the total price, $1.37 million of which would go toward materials and labor and

“Our reserves we build up by being extremely frugal. To take that kind of risk, when for a couple years we’ve been deficit spending, concerns me.” Mark Eisenberg Spring Grove village president about $500,000 to engineering. The system would bring in $66,000 a year if no new businesses moved in, enough to cover the loan if it comes through, said Trustee Mike Lee, who as the Economic Development Commission chairman has led the process of putting together the proposal. If the loan doesn’t come through, the village has enough in the bank to fund the project, and the reserves would be paid back using connection fees and the system’s

added annual revenue. How that cost would be split between the village and businesses remains up for debate. A proposal drawn up by the village’s Economic Development Commission had the cost split 50-50, something Village President Mark Eisenberg had reservations with. “Our reserves we build up by being extremely frugal,” he said. “To take that kind of risk, when for a couple years we’ve been deficit spending, concerns me.” He also pointed to the loan for the sewer project, which was supposed to be paid using connection fees and annual sewer revenue, but the system hasn’t generated enough revenue to cover the whole bill. Eisenberg said he could see supporting a split more along the lines of 75 percent covered by businesses and 25 percent by the village. The village has the option

for airport project

of enforcing an ordinance it already has on the books, which would require some businesses within range to hook up to the water system at their own cost, Lee said. That would move the line out farther, thereby reaching more businesses who would then have to connect. Trustee Ron Kopke proposed cutting the project up into phases, so the reserves aren’t hit all at once. Although Lee said he was fine to do the improvements in sections, he pointed out it would cost more overall. Regardless of how the village decides to fund the project, Lee said, the improvements need to be made. “The economy will turn around,” he said. “It’s already turning around. Businesses are already investing in other towns. If we don’t have the infrastructure, they’re going to drive on by. We have to do this. We can’t live on housing fees. We learned that.”

By JOSEPH BUSTOS LAKE IN THE HILLS – The village has been awarded a $498,500 federal grant to help with the ongoing safety improvements at the airport. Money from the grant will be used to reimburse the village for land acquisition costs. The village in June bought an acre of land from Snelten Inc., an excavating company that was based in Lake in the Hills. Since the purchase, the company has moved operations to McHenry and the village agreed to pay relocation costs as well. The final amount of the transaction is still being determined, Public Works Director Fred Mullard said. The village plans to use the land to construct an access road, said Mullard, who added the village hopes to start construction of the road next year. When the road is built, the 5,375-square-foot building on the property will be torn down, Mullard said. The village needs to build the access road as part of its continuing safety improvements. Village officials plan to move a third of the taxiway a safe distance from the runway. The village in 2011 and 2012 relocated two-thirds of the taxiway. The remaining third is on the east end of the airport. “We did everything we could in the short term to get the added space,” Mullard said.

Free guitar program seeking applicants A McHenry County program that provides kids from low-income families with free guitar lessons – and often, free guitars – is calling for participants. Free Guitars for Future Stars

classes start in late September. The program lends acoustic guitars to 10- to 17-year-olds during weekly class sessions in Crystal Lake, Harvard, McHenry and Woodstock. Students who successfully complete the class get to keep their guitars. Program directors are looking for about 200 beginning-level guitarists with little or no experience. Parents and guardians of prospective students can apply at the website of the nonprofit organization, www.fg4fs.org, or by calling 815-975-7989 to request an application. Exact locations, days and times will be announced in the coming weeks. To learn more or donate to the program, visit the organization’s website.

On Angels’ Wings to host Dog Day Afternoon event CRYSTAL LAKE – On Angels’ Wings Pet Rescue and Thrift Store will host a Dog Day Afternoon event from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday at the store, 5186 Route 14. A Calypso band will play from noon to 2 p.m., followed by Star 105.5 radio personality Mojo as emcee for the event. Dog baths will be offered for $5, pet nail trims for $5 and microchipping for $20. There will be games for dogs and their humans, as well as raffles and treats for dogs. Pet adoptions will be available from On Angels’ Wings and other rescues. New this year will be professional photography of pets and their owners by Wendy Veugler

of Cellar Studios. Also on hand will be an animal communicator and dog (or human) reiki. Food from Honey Baked Ham and frozen treats from Kona Ice will be available. For information, call 815-3568170.

Moving the rest of the taxiway requires building a new aircraft parking apron, which leads to the village needing a new access road, Mullard said. The federal grant, along with a grant for Lewis University Airport in Will County, was announced by U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin in a news release. “Today’s funding will help these airports continue serving their users safely and efficiently by making needed improvements and upgrades,” Durbin said in the news release. The grants were awarded on a competitive basis through the Federal Aviation Administration’s Airport Improvement Program, which is funded by the Airport and Airways Trust Fund. Money that goes into the trust fund comes from ticket taxes, user fees and aviation fuel taxes. The FAA determines which airport projects are the highest priority and distributes the money.

McHENRY COUNTY: CHILDREN’S HEALTH AND SAFETY

First day in court Fair brings fun to doctor’s office event offers for man accused Free health exams, of stabbing in CL immunizations By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The Elgin man accused of stabbing the mother of his child and her boyfriend made his first court appearance since being brought to McHenry County. Jimmy Bell Jr. has been in custody at the McHenry County Jail since Jimmy Bell Jr. July 27, and on Wednesday, Judge Sharon Prather ordered that he submit DNA and fingerprint samples, as well as be photographed. Bell fled the area after he allegedly stabbed a 28-year-old woman and her 23-year-old boyfriend multiple times in the face and torso, court records show. The incident happened in the early morning hours of July 2 in Crystal Lake. He was arrested at a relative’s house in Tuscaloosa, Ala., six days later and charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder, both Class X felonies. The maximum sen-

tence on a Class X felony is 30 years. The incident left the two victims in critical condition and both required surgery. Assistant State’s Attorney David Johnston said they have since been released from the hospital and are recovering. According to court documents, police have recovered numerous items that could connect Bell to the crime scene, including blood, a hammer, a knife, a knife sheath, a lighter fluid container, a carrying bag and shoes. In a financial affidavit for a public defender, Bell listed his address in Elgin, but said he owned real estate with the victim where the alleged crime occurred. In February, the victim and Bell were in McHenry County Court, where a judge gave custody of their 5-year-old daughter to the mother and granted Bell visitation rights. The terms of their agreement were not detailed in court documents. Additional charges are pending. Bell’s next court date is Aug. 9.

CRYSTAL LAKE: MINI GOLF CHARITY EVENT

Fundraisers planned to help local family By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Tom Nejmeh was a family man, which is why Mike Gallagher found it fitting to honor his friend through a family event. Lippold Park Miniature Golf Course will host a fundraiser Aug. 10 for the family of Nejmeh, a Crystal Lake native and Algonquin resident who died April 27 in a car crash after suffering a heart attack while driving home. He was 40 years old. Gallagher, who became close friends with Nejmeh at Western Illinois University and moved to Crystal Lake in part to be closer to him, organized the event to help raise money for Nejmeh’s wife and three young children – one of whom is about to start preschool. “It’s been pretty hard. I have four daughters under the age of 13, and I just couldn’t imagine,” Gallagher said. “We’re just looking to raise as much money as we can and give them as much as we can.” The event, located at 1251 W. Route 176 in Crystal Lake, will run from 3 to 9 p.m. and cost $10 a golfer. Families will have the opportunity to enter a 50/50 raffle or make a $20 donation to sponsor a hole. Those who cannot make it still can donate through www.tomsbenefit.com. Christina Gallagher, Mike Gallagher’s wife, said she hopes the family fundraiser can help cover some of the costs of the extracurricular activities and schooling for Nejmeh’s children, although because Nejmeh was the sole provider, it still will be a struggle. “Tom was the sole provider, so we just want to make

The Gallaghers wanted to involve families in helping the Nejmehs, but they hope a larger golf fundraiser scheduled at Turnberry Country Club in Lakewood – where Nejmeh was a member – will generate the most financial assistance. That fundraiser, which had been scheduled for Aug. 12, includes a continental breakfast, round of golf and light luncheon with a raffle, silent auction and cash bar. Awards also will be presented. The cost for that fundraiser is $150 a golfer or $600 for a foursome. Mike Gallagher said the Turnberry fundraiser would be pushed back to September because many of Nejmeh’s family members are in New Jersey, where Nejmeh’s brother is battling a serious and potentially fatal illness. “It’s been an extremely tough time for that family,” Gallagher said. “Obviously they are struggling emotionally.” Those interested in registering for the September fundraiser can do so at www.tomsbenefit.com.

Stelford: Ruscko selected for his leadership ability • DIRECTOR Continued from page B1 searched for a new city manager. “They’re going to look for direction and leadership, which I will provide,” Ruscko said. “But I’ll lean on them equally.” City Manager Roscoe Stelford said Ruscko was selected in large part for his leadership ability and experience in

public works. He added that his ties to the area also were a factor. Ruscko was a part of several Woodstock projects when he served as project manager for Baxter & Woodman Engineering before taking the job with Lakewood. “It definitely played a role in the decision,” Stelford said. “He had experience and knowledge with regard to several of Woodstock’s facilities and decisions.”

By JIM DALLKE jdallke@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – On Wednesday, the McHenry County Children’s Health and Safety Fair took the fear out of going to the doctor by offering kids free games and a chance to win a bike while they got their school-required medical exams. Area children were able to get caught up on their required immunizations, dental appointments and school physicals all while playing games and learning about health and safety. The event, located at McHenry County College, was free, and the health exams were offered at a low cost. “It gives the parents who don’t have insurance an opportunity to get those health requirements taken care of without breaking the bank,” said Mary Reid, chairwoman of the safety fair.

James Agrifoglio, 12, of Woodstock has his height measured while getting a sports physical Wednesday during the 23rd annual McHenry County Children’s Health and Safety Fair at McHenry County College in Crystal Lake. Kids took a card from station to station and received stamps, which they then turned in for school supplies when the card was filled. Completed cards were turned in as entry into a drawing for a free bike and helmet at the end of the fair. “It’s a little less formal [than going to the doctor],” Reid said. “It gives them that prize at the end, and they can have some fun.” The Health and Safety Fair, now in its 23rd year,

expected between 1,200 and 1,400 children and parents to attend, Reid said. More than 45 exhibitors had booths at the fair, providing health and safety related information to parents and children. Dental hygienist Peggy Master was teaching kids about brushing and flossing techniques, as well as healthy foods that can help keep a clean mouth. “We’re here because we’re trying to teach oral health to

the children,” Master said. “We let [kids] know that the dentist and dental hygienist offices are not a scary place, but a helpful place to be.” Lisa Siefert was on hand representing Safe Kids McHenry County as well as Shane’s Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to tip-over education and awareness. Siefert lost her 2-year-old child when a dresser fell on him, and she now warns parents about the dangers of tipover accidents. “I get to meet people and tell people it really happens,” Siefert said. “I had someone come by who met me at another fair, and she said her whole house is secured now. Knowing that is part of the satisfaction. It probably won’t happen with that family.” Woodstock resident Heather Lowing brought her four children to Wednesday’s fair and said the day was a great learning experience for her children. “They’re really learning about how to eat healthy, and they’ve enjoyed all the activities,” she said. “They actually take away quite a bit from this.”

Park officials look to acquire land from Centegra • D-158 Continued from page B1 before- and after-school programs and recreational activities at school buildings throughout Huntley. But a similar partnership with the proposed field house never materialized, after Palmer informed Burkey the park district wouldn’t be able to finance the millions needed to split the $15 million price tag. The park district’s long-

term strategic plan also found that the largest demand for district services are east of Route 47, Palmer said. Huntley High School and its future field house is along Harmony Road on Huntley’s western edge. Both Palmer and Burkey met a few times throughout the year about the possible partnership and both discussed the idea with staff and board members, but the two ultimately made the mutual decision to drop the idea, Palmer said.

Burkey told the Northwest Herald last week that the park district had financial concerns, but he stressed that Palmer and the district still supported the idea of a new field house capable of serving the broader Huntley population. Park district officials also have been busy coordinating with Centegra Health System officials about acquiring the empty field north of the proposed Huntley hospital at Haligus and Reed roads. The district still is inter-

ested in using those fields for outdoor athletic space, and Palmer could have a proposal ready for park district board approval before Centegra breaks ground on the hospital later this fall. Centegra officials in a village meeting last month reiterated that they still would want to give those fields to the park district. “We are in the beginning with that idea, but I’m optimistic,” Palmer said. “I think things will start cooking on that soon.”

Some would like to see more buildings preserved • FOX BLUFF Continued from page B1 architect Jens Jenson. It included a council ring, trails, a garden and native landscaping, all of which the final draft proposes incorporating. The district also would co-

versation district’s role as,” Begalka said. “Should the conservation district concern itself with historic structures beyond the area of trails and nature? That’s a decision that the district needs to come to an agreement on, and the public needs to let them know what they think about this.”

WAUCONDA: ORDINANCE VIOLATION

Pit bull to be euthanized after attack By CASSSANDRA DOWELL and SHERYL DeVORE editorial@shawmedia.com WAUCONDA – A 6-yearold, 70-pound pit bull that attacked and killed a 10-yearold Shih Tzu in Wauconda will be euthanized, said Robin Van Sickle of the Lake County Health Department Animal Care and Control. “We currently have the dog in our custody,” Van Sickle said Wednesday, adding that the Wauconda Police Department cited the owner of the aggressive dog with a dog-at-large ordinance violation. “As far as further action against the dog owner, we are taking the lead in that role,” she said. “We are working with the Wauconda Police Department so that due justice is sought for the families involved.” The attack occurred early July 23 in Wauconda Park District’s Cook Park. The pit bull named Chuck is owned

“As far as further action against the dog owner, we are taking the lead in that role. We are working with the Wauconda Police Department so that due justice is sought for the families involved.” Robin Van Sickle Lake County Health Department Animal Care and Control by John Bender of Wauconda. According to reports, the Shih Tzu named Shibui was being walked when it was attacked. The dog walker, Judy Zeno, a good friend of the owner, Lisa Didier, said Bender had to pry the pit bull’s mouth open to release the Shih Tzu. Zeno said she drove the dog to an animal hospital, but that it died in her lap, Van Sickle said. Didier said Shibui served as a caretaker for a blind dog she owns. Now the blind dog cries at night, she said. Bender relinquished custody of the dog to the county’s Animal Care and Control,

Van Sickle said. The department has decided to euthanize the dog after a 10-day rabies quarantine. Van Sickle said the department conducted an investigation involving the pit bull in November and determined the dog to be dangerous. “The dog had bitten before – both other animals and other people – but had not caused serious injuries,” she said. As a result of the investigation, the dog was ordered to be put on the highest restrictions under state law, which included having to be muzzled at all times on public property and to be leashed

and under control of the owner. The dog also had to be neutered and microchipped, and the owner needed to pay a fine, Van Sickle said. “The owner did not have the dog muzzled when he took the dog out last week, so it was the owner’s negligence,” she said, adding that the owner of the pit bull and caretaker of the victim dog gave conflicting descriptions of the fatal attack. “The owner [of the pit bull] told me that he was walking the dog on a leash,” Van Sickle said. “He bent down to tie his shoe and the dog took off, but the person walking the victim dog did not see a collar or leash. “The fact is this dog did run loose without being muzzled, without being under control of its owner, and it killed another dog without being provoked.” Bender is scheduled to appear in Mundelein’s branch court Aug. 23. He could not be reached for comment.

MCYSA SUMMER INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

Braun goes from hero to pariah

Mike Krebs – mkrebs@shawmedia.com

The Lake in the Hills Thunder’s Daniel Tenayuca throws to first base as an Illinois Elite player sprints down the line Wednesday during an MCYSA Summer International Championships 15U Gold Bracket game at Jacobs High School in Algonquin. The Thunder lost, 7-2.

THUNDER NOT SATISFIED LITH 15U team loses to Illinois Elite in Gold Bracket By PATRICK MASON pmason@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – Mark Lonigro knows his team can be competitive in the Gold Bracket of the McHenry County Youth Sports Association Summer International Championships, but he needs his players on the Lake in the Hills Thunder baseball team to start believing in themselves. “Coming in, no one expected us to be in this bracket, and we proved them wrong,” said Jack Schneider, who started Wednesday’s game against the Illinois Elite on the mound for the Thunder. “Now we need to come together and get a win for us.” The Thunder entered as a young team of 14-year-olds playing in the 15U division and have used that underdog mentality to their advantage. They accomplished one of their main

goals by advancing out of pool play to the Gold Bracket. Of the seven host teams, the Thunder are the only one to advance to the Gold Bracket after going 2-3 in pool play. On Wednesday, the Thunder lost to the Elite in the first round of bracket play, 7-2, at Jacobs High School. The Thunder will face Mickey’s Sleds and More at 11 a.m. Thursday at Lippold Park. The Elite added to a two-run lead by scoring three more in the third inning, but the Thunder battled back when Carlos Lopez smacked a double off the fence in right field to get things going in their half of the third. They had runners on second and third, both of whom came around to score on two wild pitches that cut the deficit to 5-2.

The Milwaukee Brewers should have been playing the White Sox this week, with the loser retreating to face the San Francisco Giants in a series to determine the season’s most disappointing team.

Bad enough that a once-promising season has taken a decidedly wrong turn into hopelessness. Far worse is having a franchise player exposed as a creep. That’s a rather harsh judgment of Mr. Braun, who accepted a 65game suspension last week in the face of highly sustainable evidence that he was a drug cheat, with ties to Miami’s notorious Biogenesis lab. This was the same Ryan Braun who summoned a Rafael Palmeiro level of righteous indignation in declaring his innocence when confronted with a failed test two years ago. “Faulty procedures,” Braun cried, and an arbitrator sided with him. The man responsible for handling the sample lost his modest job with a shipping company. Braun collected every penny of his $4,287,500 salary and the 2011 MVP award without missing a day of work until two years later, when Biogenesis investigators closed in on him. There will be additional suspensions in the case, some with playoff-race implications – Detroit acquiring shortstop Jose Iglesias from Boston in the three-team Jake Peavy trade was a preemptive move to offset the expected loss of Jhonny Peralta, and Texas was openly seeking a hitter as a hedge against losing Nelson Cruz. But none – not even Alex Rodriguez’s, if it happens – will elicit as strong a reaction as Braun’s.

Latest injury tests Bears BOURBONNAIS – We knew the new linebacking corps would be a huge storyline in training camp. On Wednesday, it was guaranteed in the Bears’ first practice after their first off day of the preseason. Before the 5,000plus fans surrounding the practice fields in D.J. Williams Bourbonnais could settle into their seats, D.J. Williams went down in a heap and was eventually carted off the field with a bruised calf. Unlike the calf injury to left tackle Jermon Bushrod, which the Bears say has left him as day-to-day to return to practice, Williams has been designated as week-toweek. The difference is not at all subtle, and I double-checked and confirmed it with the Bears P.R. folks before reporting it. As I wrote about Bushrod, calf injuries can be extremely finicky, and while day-to-day is exactly that, week-to-week can easily turn into

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush three to six weeks if nothing is torn. If there’s a tear, we’re talking months. We will wait for more and better information from the Bears on the extent of the damage and hope for the best. But what we can say for a fact right now is that until further notice, rookie Jon Bostic is now the Bears’ starting middle linebacker. Journeyman special teams ace Blake Costanzo is behind him on the depth chart, and behind Costanzo there is no one. Lack of depth is a problem almost everywhere, thanks mainly to a decade worth of failure in the draft by Jerry Angelo, Lovie Smith and company. The ascension of Bostic to the focal point of this defense may turn out to be chicken salad or it could result in a real chicken’s mess.

No. 54 gone, not forgotten BOURBONNAIS – Dozens of crisp No. 54 jerseys with “URLACHER” stitched across the back greet fans in the Bears’ gift shop at Olivet Nazarene University. Blue jerseys. White jerseys. Orange jerseys. Heck, if you wanted a purple Urlacher jersey, the Bears probably could customize one. After 13 unforgettable seasons as a Monster of the Midway, Urlacher now represents a Colossus of Cash. A Rhinoceros of Retail. A Symbol of Spending. Everywhere you look is No. 54. Well, everywhere except the practice field. Let’s start with the gift shop. Bears fan Karl Kics of Shorewood wore a white No. 54 Urlacher jersey as he sorted through other No. 54 jerseys on the rack. This confused me. If Kics was wearing an Urlacher jersey, why shop for the same jersey? “I’m just stocking up right now,” said Kics, who figured the items even-

BEARS INSIDER Tom Musick tually would vanish from shelves. “I can put it right next to my [Walter] Payton jerseys and everything else.” Be warned. Those keepsakes might be costly. Want a baby No. 54 jersey? That will be $40. Want a big-kid No. 54 jersey? The sticker price is $300, but it’s on sale at 40 percent off. Anybody have a calculator? Nevermind, I found one. Even with the discount, that jersey will cost you $180 plus tax. Typically, I wouldn’t be standing in a gift shop and jotting down notes about No. 54 jerseys. Instead, I would be standing on the sideline and jotting down notes about the actual No. 54.

C-G’s Baker, CLC’s Murphy to be walk-ons Cary-Grove’s Quinn Baker and Crystal Lake Central’s Corban Murphy likely could have had their pick of numerous Division III schools for athletics. Baker was a Northwest Herald All-Area second-team selection at quarterback after helping the Trojans to the Class 6A state championship game. Murphy was second on the area boys basketball scoring list and was an All-Area first-team selection. Yet the gravitational pull of bigger schools where family members are currently students was strong for Baker and Murphy. Baker picked Northwestern, where his brother Hayden plays center, and will follow Hayden’s plan and walk on with the Wildcats. NorthQuinn western coach Pat Fitzgerald offered Baker Baker a preferred walk-on spot, so he will not be on scholarship the first year, but will have a roster spot. Murphy will attend Arizona State, where his father (John) and mother (Carrie) attended, and where brother Keenan and sister Bailey are currently students. Also, Tigers coach Rich Czeslawski is an ASU alumnus who Corban knows some of the Sun Devils’ coachMurphy es. Murphy, a 6-foot-3 guard-forward in high school, will walk on and try to earn a spot on the team or the practice squad. Baker scored 35 on his ACT and picked Northwestern for its academic reputation. Over the winter, he visited the school and met with Fitzgerald, who told Baker there would be a walk-on spot for him. “[Fitzgerald] said they knew from Hayden being there that I had a similar character, work ethic and commitment,” said Baker, who will major in chemical engineering. “And that I was a good athlete and would be a good fit. I was looking for schools to play football and some not to play football. I hadn’t found a school that fit both, but it became real more in the spring and I committed.” Hayden, who played center on C-G’s 2009 Class 6A state championship team, walked on and now plays on scholarship for the Wildcats. He likely will use his two remaining years of eligibility, although as an anthropology major with a concentration in human biology, he is a senior academically. “I let [Quinn] make his own decision,” Hayden said. “If he had questions, I was there to answer them. It’s fun. We were teammates in high school and now we get to repeat that in college. He’s a very smart kid and he can figure things out. He’s a hard worker and a high character guy who brings an attitude to the locker room that coaches love.” Quinn Baker was an option quarterback who rarely threw in high school but was adept at running. The Wildcats will look at him as a wide receiver. Murphy was instrumental in Central finishing 22-6 in 2012 and 25-4 last season. He was a three-year varsity player who scored from the outside and inside, averaging 17.9 points a game for the Tigers. D-III coaches attended Central’s games regularly this season scouting Murphy and 6-7 players Kyle Fleck and David Panicko. Murphy could have taken a surer thing with a smaller school, but wanted Arizona State. “It was definitely hard,” he said. “I always wanted to play basketball, but I looked at it from a school point of view. What if basketball didn’t work out somewhere and I was stuck at a school where I didn’t want to be. I wanted to be at ASU.” Murphy has worked out with trainer Craig Kastning this summer and continued working with Jim Cook, who helps with specific basketball training, usually at McHenry County College’s gym. “I’ve been working for it. I have an opportunity to walk on,” Murphy said. “I feel I can go and compete. I’m a competitive guy. If it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t happen. It won’t be the worst thing. I want to keep working and see what happens.” • Joe Stevenson is a senior sports writer for the Northwest Herald. He can be reached by email at joestevenson@shawmedia.com.

BULLS

Deng finally discusses spinal tap Procedure led to premature end to season By JOE COWLEY Chicago Sun-Times If it was up to several members of Luol Deng’s camp, the two-time All-Star wouldn’t have remained mostly silent throughout a spinal tap incident that cost him the final seven games of the playoffs. The Bulls small forward would have been outspoken. He would have been proactive in getting a second opinion on the spinal tap to find out if the procedure was somehow botched. “It’s just not his nature to rock the boat,’’ a source said. Deng never did pursue getting to the bottom of why the spinal tap led to so many problems, basically putting his life in danger when

his body began to leak spinal fluid, but he finally talked about the last few weeks of the Bulls season. Currently in Ghana for an NBA “Basketball Without Borders’’ event, Deng did an interview that appeared on NBA. com. “The end of the season was disappointing,’’ Deng Luol Deng told the website. “I worked hard all season, played in the All-Star Game, and wanted to take the team as far as possible in the playoffs. But then, when I got sick, I think that we could have handled the situation better. Obviously there are some things that you can’t handle. “You can’t really handle getting sick, being taken to the ER or going to the hospital. I got the spinal tap [to rule out meningitis] and that’s where it went all wrong. My body didn’t react well to the spinal tap, I had some

serious side effects that not only didn’t allow me to play basketball, but really put my life in danger. “It’s something that I wouldn’t want anyone to go through, but when I went through it, I think that basketball became second – especially that because what I went through health wise, my family was very worried. I never want to experience something like that again.’’ It was the “I think that we could have handled the situation better’’ comment from Deng that was the most interesting, especially because there were several people around Deng who wanted more answers than he was willing to look for. Game 5 against Brooklyn was the final playoff game Deng played in, putting in 43 minutes and scoring 12 points and grabbing eight rebounds. The Bulls went on to win the series against the Nets, before being dismissed for the summer in the next round against Miami.

It was in that series that the Bulls were not only missing Deng from the starting lineup, but Kirk Hinrich. “I don’t know. It is what it is,’’ Deng said in the interview when asked if the Heat series could have had a different ending with a healthy Bulls team. “We always go by the mindset that whoever they would have played, that’s who we’re with. “You can’t really ask those ‘what ifs’ or what could have happened. We will all try to learn from that, move forward and get better next year.’’ As far as Deng’s immediate future with the Bulls, he is a free agent after the season, and general manager Gar Forman indicated two weeks ago that “the window is open to talk about an extension.’’ • Joe Cowley covers the Chicago Bulls for the Sun-Times.

I have apologized to my coach, to Jeffrey Lurie, to Howie Roseman and to my teammates,” Cooper said in a statement released by the team. “I owe an apology to the fans and to this community.

SWIMMING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

Franklin 3 for 3, decides not to take shot at 8 golds By PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press BARCELONA, Spain – Missy Franklin climbed to the top of the podium to collect a prize she really wanted. That bid for eight gold medals? It can wait. Franklin held off hard-charging Federica Pelligrini to win the 200-meter freestyle Wednesday night, the 18-year-old American claiming her third victory of the world championships and justifying the decision to cut back her program in Barcelona. “We’re coming down the mountain now,” Franklin said. She had been scheduled to swim two races in the evening session: the semifinals of the 50 backstroke, followed about 20 minutes later by the final of the 200 free. But Franklin and her coach, Todd Schmitz, decided it was best to drop the non-Olympic event so she could focus on a race that’s been the focus of so much work since she just missed a medal at the London Olympics. Franklin finished fourth last summer – a hundredth of a second off the podium.

This time, she was the one touching ahead of everyone else. “We decided that maybe the risk kind of outdid the rewards,” Franklin said. “I’m really happy with the decision to scratch and just do this.” Initially, with the 50 back added to the seven events she competed in at London, Franklin had a chance to match Michael Phelps as the only swimmers to win that many events at a major championship. Phelps, of course, won eight golds at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. After a tough double Tuesday and the 13th-best time in the morning preliminaries, Schmitz persuaded Franklin to scratch the 50 back, an event she swims mainly for fun, although she did take bronze at the 2011 worlds in Shanghai. “That will leave me with seven events,” Franklin said. Only seven, someone asked kiddingly. “Just the seven,” she replied, with a big laugh. Schmitz said a lot of factors went into his decision, including the short break between races and the long walk from the warm-up pool to the competition pool inside the arena.

NEW YORK – The NFL Pro Bowl rosters for next year will be selected in a draft by team captains, with Deion Sanders and Jerry Rice assisting as alumni captains. The NFL will abandon the AFC vs. NFC format that has been in place since 1971. The league said Wednesday that fan voting will determine the players in the draft pool. The draft will be televised by the NFL Network on Jan. 22. The game will be played Jan. 26 at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu. Other changes are coming to the game. The ball will change hands at the end of each quarter, which could double the opportunities for two-minute drills. Kickoffs (and return specialists) will be eliminated – teams will start on their own 25-yard line. Defenses will be allowed to play cover-2 and press coverage in addition to man, and several clock tweaks have been instituted to speed up the game and prompt offensive play.

MLS to add 4 teams by 2020 season KANSAS CITY, Kan. – Major League Soccer plans to add four expansion teams by the 2020 season. Commissioner Don Garber announced the league’s plans during halftime of its annual All-Star game Wednesday night. Italian club AS Roma beat the MLS All-Stars, 3-1. The location of the expansion teams has yet to be decided, but Garber said the league has had discussions with potential owners. The news came a day after Hunt Sports Group announced it was selling the Columbus Crew to investor Anthony Precourt, and with the league set to add a 20th franchise in New York in 2015. – Wire reports

LITH 15U coach wants victory in Gold Bracket • THUNDER Continued from page C1 It didn’t last long, however, as the Thunder’s bats went quiet and the Elite tacked on single runs in the fifth and sixth innings to seal the victory. “It feels great to [be in the Gold Bracket], but I had bigger aspirations to win this ballgame,” Lonigro said. “It’s disappointing because this team is breaking up after guys have been playing together for years. Again, it’s great that we’re here, but that’s short of the goal. We want to win a game in this bracket.” After the loss, the team huddled around Lonigro just behind the first base dugout and listened as he spoke about his experiences during his playing days. He wanted his team

to learn from his mistakes. As a player, Lonigro didn’t always have the best approach to games, and it cost him. It still bothers him now and he stressed to his team to have fun during each game and to not be afraid no matter the situation and to play each game with the right attitude. “Baseball is all about that mental attitude, and you have to play with a positive attitude,” Lonigro said. “The heart and physical side can only take you so far but the head has to be in the game. It’s got to be there. “It’s all about confidence, and everyone is carrying a little too much stress right now,” he continued, “and they’re missing the point of playing as a team. If they play like when they were kids and have fun tomorrow, we’ll fix this ship.”

BEARS TRAINING CAMP PREVIEW: RUNNING BACKS

Forte figures to be bigger factor in offense By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@shawmedia.com After finishing 10th in the NFL in rushing last season, the 1-2 punch of Matt Forte and Michael Bush enters a new offense, and all indications point to Forte being a larger part of the passing game. New head coach Marc Trestman and offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer have experience in offenses that relied more heavily on passing. From 2001 to 2003, when Trestman was the Raiders’ offensive coordinator (and Kromer coached the offensive line), the team’s leading rusher averaged 184 carries a season – Forte has averaged 252.4 carries in his five NFL seasons. Many point to Charlie Garner’s receiving numbers when predicting an uptick in Forte’s re-

BEARS NOTES

O-line a work in progress By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@shawmedia.com BOURBONNAIS – Cory Brandon has not played in an NFL game, yet he was the firstteam left tackle at the beginning of Wednesday’s practice. Then Eben Britton, who has 15 starts in the past three seasons – most recently at guard – took over as the top left tackle for the majority of practice. Not an ideal look for a team that still has major questions along the offensive line. Jermon Bushrod remained out of practice with a right calf injury. He is wearing a protective boot and is considered day-to-day. His backup, Jonathan Scott, had knee soreness and spent the morning with ice wrapped around it. The shake-ups on the offensive line led to a rough start for the whole offense after a day off. There were pre-snap penalties, and coach Marc Trestman was visibly frustrated with a couple of them. “You saw there were a bunch of pre-snap penalties that allowed us to look a lot sloppier than we have practiced throughout,” he said. Trestman did add that things improved as practice went along on the offensive side of the ball. Other shuffling took place at guard, with James Brown working in at both right and left spots, mixing in with Kyle Long and Matt Slauson. Aaron Kromer, who serves as offensive coordinator and offensive line coach, said that they are working to find the best group up front to protect Jay Cutler. “Our goal is to find the best five. When we find the best five, it’ll be obvious,” he said. “Whether we put them at left guard, right guard, whoever they are, we’ll find them. And we don’t control when that’ll happen. It’ll just happen.” Next man up: With Tim Jennings excused from practice for personal reasons, and D.J. Williams injured, there was a different look in the nickel package. Zack Bowman was the boundary corner in place of Jennings, with Kelvin Hayden staying in the slot. James Anderson took Williams’ spot at linebacker. Red-zone success: Near the end of practice, the offense rallied and strung together some touchdowns in red-zone work. Cutler found Alshon Jeffery for the play of the day, a leaping catch over the middle. He also hit Martellus Bennett and Brandon Marshall for scores. “Back in the red zone, trying to use our guys, trying to get them to elevate and make plays in space against tight coverage and win the contested throwing battle, so I think that was a good way to end practice,” Trestman said. Shea’s jump: In the NFL, we often hear about the second-year jump being crucial for players following their rookie season, and Shea McClellin is off to a very solid training camp. He put a fantastic spin move on J’Marcus Webb to get into the backfield during pass-rush drill sand then showed his versatility with a power move to beat Jordan Mills.

ceiving – the Raiders’ running back had 163 catches for 1,519 yards receiving from 2001-02. The Raiders did have a work share in 2003, as Garner had 120 carries and Tyrone Wheatley had 159, so while Forte will be an all-purpose, every-down back, Bush should get plenMatt Forte ty of touches, and he has shown in Forte’s absences that he can be effective. Forte, who had career-lows in receiving last season, should be looking forward to adding to that element of the offense, while Bush will continue to serve as the team’s short-yardage back and change-ofpace runner with his ability in between the tackles. Armando Allen

Editor’s note This is the eighth in a series of positional breakdowns from the staff of HubArkush. com. and Michael Ford will compete to be the team’s No. 3 running back. With embattled fullback Evan Rodriguez gone, Harvey Unga and veteran Tony Fiammetta are the options at the position, assuming the Bears choose to carry a fullback on the 53man roster. Position battles: Forte and Bush are cemented as the top two backs, and should handle the lion’s share of carries, but the team will certainly carry a third back. Armando Allen had 27 carries for 124 yards and a score last season. He’ll have the

upper hand over undrafted rookie Michael Ford (LSU), who did turn some heads in the spring with his size-speed combination. Considering Forte’s injury history, the No. 3 back could be an important position during the season. At fullback, Fiammetta has not played since 2011, when he appeared in 10 games with six starts for the Cowboys. Unga has yet to play in an NFL game after being a supplemental draft pick out of BYU in 2010. The Bears may very well elect to go without a fullback, as Bush would be the short-yardage back with a blocking tight end helping fill the role. Contract situations: Forte’s buzzer-beating four-year deal last year, which kept him from playing the 2012 season on the franchise tag, pays him a base salary of $1.7 mil-

lion in 2013, plus a $4 million roster bonus, which was part of his guaranteed money. Bush is due $1.5 million plus a $1 million roster bonus, the type of money given to a player who should be a factor in the offense. He is under contract through the 2015 season. What to watch in camp: Everyone is interested to see Trestman’s offense at work, and how he utilizes Forte and Bush will be worth watching. If Forte becomes a productive receiving back, in the likes of Ray Rice or LeSean McCoy, it should make everyone around him better, especially Jay Cutler. Ford will be an intriguing player to watch. He excelled at the scouting combine with his measureables and could carve out a niche to make the squad.

Trestman has rosy outlook after injury to LB Williams • ARKUSH Continued from page C1 Marc Trestman apparently likes chicken salad. His take on Williams’ misfortune was: “D.J.’s going to be week-toweek, but he’s been great since he got here and he’ll get back as soon as he can. This is a great opportunity for the young guys.” I can’t argue with that assessment, but are the young guys ready? Bostic and fourthround draft choice Khaseem Greene were taken to be the future at linebacker. Both played the Mike backer spot in college, but both might be best-suited to eventually succeed Lance Briggs at the Will backer. Greene is being trained there now while Bostic is next man up in the middle. Bostic has actually looked pretty good in practice, showing nice instincts and explosion, and he seems to have

Bourbonnais was buzzing today with reaction to Chicago Tribune reporter Brad Biggs’ speculation that the read option offense is there for everyone to see in Camp Trestman. Jay Cutler was non-committal, and offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer said, “I prefer not to discuss offensive strategy with the media.” Coach March Trestman acknowledged it is in the Bears’ playbook and said he’s comfortable with Cutler running it because “Jay’s a veteran who knows when to get down and protect himself,” but he also stressed they’re really “only going to show it to give defensive coaches one more thing to prepare for.” If you’re a Bears fan and a NASCAR fan you should be a Kurt Busch fan. Busch was at camp Wednesday as a guest of Brian McCaskey, and he told me Bears camp is the only one he’d ever visit, saying, “I’m a huge Bears fan!” Add cornerback to the positions where the Bears are dangerously thin. I’m told Tim Jennings’ “Personal Day” away from practice Wednesday is nothing to worry about, but it’s painfully obvious when either he or Charles Tillman is off the field.

Urlacher memorabilia hot items • MUSICK Continued from page C1 But for the first time this century, Urlacher is nowhere to be seen at Bears camp. He is not cracking jokes during pre-practice stretching, making Lance Briggs double over in laughter. He is not shouting out defensive play calls in team drills, making teammates shuffle position. It’s impossible not to notice his absence. “It’s kind of weird,” said John Henrichs, a 12-year-old Bears fan from downstate Danforth who wore his blue No. 54 jersey. “Because he has been around for a long time.” Make that a lifetime. The Bears drafted Urlacher in April 2000. Henrichs was born four months later. Was Henrichs mad when the Bears didn’t re-sign Urlacher? “A little.” Is he still mad? “I’m used to it.” That makes one of us. On the path from the gift

shop to the practice field, other reminders of Urlacher exist. An Era Sports memorabilia stand features one item in particular that caught my eye. It’s a framed photo of Urlacher lined up across from Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Snow is falling. Roethlisberger is barking the cadence. Urlacher is crouched. Something incredibly exciting is about to happen. Oh, and both players signed the picture. It can be yours for the low price of $594.99. Era Sports’ Tim Belcher said he expected Urlacher memorabilia to remain in high demand. “Everyone loves Urlacher,” Belcher said. “Especially the women.” Maybe 60 seconds later, I was able to confirm Belcher’s theory. “Why do I wear his jersey? Because I love him,” said Melisa Arellano, who wore her Urlacher jersey on the

trip down from Streamwood. “He was a great player. He was a team leader. He was able to direct the players. He did a really good job at that.” Yes, he did. Now, it’s D.J. Williams’ turn to play middle linebacker. At least, it was Williams’ turn until Wednesday, when his bum calf relegated him to the sidelines on a “week-toweek” basis. In steps rookie Jon Bostic. If he gets hurt, it could be Blake Costanzo’s turn. Regardless, Urlacher is gone. Fans seem to understand. “I think we all have our time,” said Matt Barnard, who wore his No. 54 jersey as he drove to training camp from Hudson. “And I think he had his time.” At least we’ll always have his jerseys. • Northwest Herald sports

hold on to the starting middle linebacker spot. Williams is a 10-year veteran on a one-year deal. Bostic is Bears property for at least the next four years. The downside is, even if Bostic is the real deal, rushing young players into live fire before they’re ready has set even the best of them back significantly if they struggle greatly. Add the fact that middle linebacker is where every veteran on this defense has looked for help over the last 13 years and the pressure on Bostic couldn’t be any greater. This is the first real challenge of the Trestman regime, and how he and his players respond should tell us a great deal about what lies ahead. • Hub Arkush covers the Bears for Shaw Media and HubArkush.com.

Hahn has shown he can be trusted By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN Chicago Sun-Times CLEVELAND – In the 10 months Rick Hahn has been on the job as White Sox general manager, he has proved to be a trustworthy steward of chairman Jerry Reinsdorf’s riches. This is not to say Hahn is penny-pinching accountant whose top priority is the bottom line. The best way to fix up a franchise in need of a facelift from the ground up is to manage resources wisely, and Hahn has already struck gold by working out prized left-hander Chris Sale’s $32.5 million contract during spring training and moving Jake Peavy and all of the approximate $20 million left on his contract before the trade deadline. It was Hahn who somewhat surprisingly signed Peavy to a two-year contract after the 2012 season. He did so with winning in mind. “One thing that hasn’t changed around here certainly is the desire to win,’’ Hahn said Wednesday. When losing was the result, Hahn altered course, and the no-trade clause he put in Peavy’s contract allowed him to unload it. Having Sale, a 24-year-old bona fide No. 1 starter, under wraps through 2017 with not one but two club options in 2018 and 2019 made letting go of a No. 2 like Peavy relatively painless. If Sale is still around for his option years, he’ll be paid less ($12.5 million and $13.5 million) than Peavy would have been paid next year. What’s more, Hahn still has rotation depth left, all of it under control for years to come. Those hoping to see the truck backed up didn’t get their wish. Alex Rios is still with the Sox, signed through next season. He likely will be moved in a waiver deal or traded during the off-season to make room for Garcia. Alexei Ramirez is still the shortstop, but he may be expendable this winter. Was he close on any more deals Wednesday? Hahn said he went to the 3 p.m. wire working on a trade and even updated Reinsdorf about the talks. About who and with whom he wasn’t saying. “It looked like there was a chance of something happening, but in the end we couldn’t quite get to an agreement,’’ he said. “They wanted something a little different right at the end and we weren’t prepared to do that.” Hahn spent some time on

HR in 10th beats Sox CLEVELAND – Carlos Santana led off the 10th inning with a home run against Dylan Axelrod, giving the Indians a 6-5 come from behind victory against the White Sox on Wednesday night. The loss was the sixth in a row for the Sox (40-65). The Indians have won seven in a row. Jeff Keppinger drove in two runs with a two-out single in the ninth inning, breaking a 3-all tie, but the Indians scored two in the bottom of the inning against Sox closer Addison Reed to force extra innings. – Chicago Sun-Times a conference call after the deadline passed explaining what he’s been trying to accomplish in all this time leading to it. “We’re starting to transition this club to a new core,’’ he said. “We feel we’re in a very good position with our pitching … to be competitive in the very near future. But we need to make improvements offensively. We need a more diversified offensive attack. We need better defense. We need a more athletic combination of position players on our roster. And we’ll get there. The goal is going to be for sustained success to get us on the level where we’re in the playoffs or contending for the playoffs for an extended period of time.’’ Based on the putrid 40-65 record after the Sox’s 6-5, 10-inning loss to the Indians on Wednesday, there is much work to be done. Snagging outfielder Avisail Garcia, the Tigers’ No. 2 prospect according to Baseball America, was a good start. Garcia came in a threeway deal late Tuesday that also brought three lesser Red Sox prospects who make the White Sox’s system deeper. Hahn was under no order from Reinsdorf to dump salary, so to say he traded Peavy only to save a buck doesn’t fly. But it made economic sense, and the deal strengthens a weak farm system in the process while allowing the flexibility to sign free agents during the offseason. Under no pressure to trade Peavy, Hahn reeled in an acceptable return, and he’ll never have to worry about Peavy getting hurt again. • Daryl Van Schoewen covers the White Sox for the Sun-Times and can be reached at dvanschouwen@ suntimes.com.

CUBS ANALYSIS

Cubs refuse to sell low By GORDON WITTENMYER Chicago Sun-Times Outfielder David DeJesus saw the clock just as he rounded a corner in the Cubs’ clubhouse Wednesday afternoon, and then caught the eye of teammate Jeff Samardzija, who was talking with manager Dale Sveum. The clock had just ticked past 3 p.m. “And [Samardzija’s] like, ‘Hey, I guess we’re all here,’ “DeJesus said, describing the moment in the clubhouse Wednesday when the nonwaiver trade deadline passed without the Cubs making a final-day trade. “That’s what the extent of it was.” No meetings, no fanfare, and no satisfaction for a front office – and even some players – hoping to get something done on a deadline day with less activity across baseball than any past deadlines longtime baseball people could recall. A July that came in like a lion for the aggressively selling Cubs went out with a whimper as the Cubs went the final five days of the month without being able to find trades for closer Kevin Gregg, DeJesus or catcher Dioner Navarro. It doesn’t mean the Cubs won’t go into the winter employing the same sign-toflip approach to free agency for another year. It doesn’t mean the Cubs are holding onto players because they feel they’re any closer to being ready to win than they felt last spring. Mostly, according to major league sources, it means there was little, if any, interest in the final days for those players in a market that got

Cubs win series finale CHICAGO – Edwin Jackson pitched eight solid innings, David DeJesus drove in three runs, and the Cubs beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 6-1, on Wednesday night to salvage the finale of a four-game series. Anthony Rizzo hit a two-run homer, and Starlin Castro belted a solo shot as the Cubs closed out a 14-13 July, their first winning calendar month since they went 15-10 in July 2012. Jackson allowed a run and eight hits, staying in the game after a 66-minute rain delay in the sixth. – The Associated Press steadily quieter in the final week before the deadline. The St. Louis Cardinals became a late candidate for Navarro when Yadier Molina’s knee injury forced him to the disabled list, but the Cards were unwilling to risk even a modest prospect who might have a chance to become a contributor for their rivals. The Cubs also had trade discussions about setup man James Russell, outfielder Nate Schierholtz and pitcher Carlos Villanueva – but all have at least one more year of club control and drew too little interest to trade under those circumstances. “We felt like we had a high, but not unreasonably high, price on some guys,” general manager Jed Hoyer acknowledged. “A lot of the guys being asked about were being controlled going forward. I feel like [not trading those players] makes our winter potentially a little easier.” Schierholtz signed a one-year, $2.25 million deal last winter and has another year of club control through arbitration – likely at $4.5 million to $5.5 million next year, depending on his finish.

The Cubs were unwilling to sell low and can test the market for him again in the winter or next July. “I was a little surprised,” Villanueva said of the Cubs finishing without another trade after making six of them from July 2 through 26 – by far the most active sellers of the trade season. Hoyer said they’re not necessarily done and plan to seek trades in August through the more nuanced waiver process. DeJesus, who has $1.44 million left on this year’s salary and a $1.5 million buyout on his $6.5 million club option, is a nearly $3 million cost to a team that claims him and could be an August trade candidate. Hoyer didn’t directly answer a question about whether the Cubs planned to exercise his 2014 option, saying, “We’ll certainly be talking to [him and his agent]. There’s a ton of positives, and we’d love to have him in a Cubs uniform going forward.” Although the Cubs didn’t deal in the final days of July, they acquired third-base prospect Mike Olt, starting pitcher Jake Arrieta, reliever Pedro Strop and at least five pitching prospects (with the option of adding two more) in trades during the month. “You can never promise what position you’re going to be in going forward,” Hoyer said. “I never say we’re not going to be sellers again; you don’t want to be. But I do feel a lot better that as an organization we have a lot more talent now than we did certainly 12 months ago.” • Gordon Wittenmyer cover the Cubs for the Sun-Times and can be reached at gwittenmyer@suntimes.com.

MLB ROUNDUP

Pirates rally past Cardinals, pad NL Central lead The ASSOCIATED PRESS PITTSBURGH – Russell Martin drove home Neal Walker with the go-ahead run in the eighth inning Wednesday night, and the Pittsburgh Pirates rallied to beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-4. Martin’s sharp grounder off Trevor Rosenthal (1-2) rolled into left field, giving Walker enough time to score from second. The Pirates’ fourth straight win over the Cardinals gave Pittsburgh a 2½game lead in the NL Central.

Braves 9, Rockies 0: At Atlanta, Mike Minor allowed two hits in seven scoreless innings, Brian McCann hit a three-run homer in a seven-run third, and Atlanta beat Colorado for its sixth straight win. Giants 9, Phillies 2: At Philadelphia, Chad Gaudin threw seven sharp innings, Brett Pill and Brandon Crawford hit homers, and San Francisco snapped a five-game losing streak with a victory over Philadelphia. Reds 4, Padres 1: At San Diego, Homer Bailey came with-

in two outs of a five-hit shutout to end his four-start losing streak, and Cincinnati beat San Diego to snap a five-game skid. Marlins 3, Mets 2: At Miami, Jake Marisnick hit his first major league home run, and Henderson Alvarez pitched into the eighth inning to lead Miami over New York.

AMERICAN LEAGUE Red Sox 6, Mariners 5 (15 inn.): At Boston, Stephen Drew singled in the winning run in the 15th inning to lift Boston

over Seattle and back into first place in the AL East. Astros 11, Orioles 0: At Baltimore, rookie left-hander Brett Oberholtzer allowed three hits over seven innings to earn his first major league win, and Houston beat Baltimore.

Blue Jays 5, Athletics 2 (10 inn.): At Oakland, Calif., Jose Bautista hit a go-ahead double in the top of the 10th inning, and Toronto beat Oakland. Rangers 2, Angels 1: At Arlington, Texas, Adrian Beltre led off the bottom of the ninth for Texas with a home run to

beat Los Angeles, completing a three-game series sweep in which the Rangers won each on game-ending homers.

INTERLEAGUE Tigers 11, Nationals 1: At Detroit, Alex Avila and Torii Hunter hit homers in a fiverun second inning, and Detroit routed Washington. Diamondbacks 7, Rays 0: At St. Petersburg, Fla., Wade Miley pitched two-hit ball into the seventh, and Eric Chavez drove in three runs, leading Arizona over Tampa Bay.

Brewers offer rebate on concessions after Braun banned • McGRATH Continued from page C1 He revealed himself to be a self-serving hypocrite, and so much for players union solidarity – rather than defend him, many of Braun’s contemporaries teed off on his lack of character. The embarrassed Brewers are offering ticket-buyers a rebate on concessions in an attempt to fend off disillusionment among their fans. Aside from Green Bay, its neighbor to the north, Milwaukee is the smallest U.S. metropolitan area that is home to pro sports teams. It’s a civil place that tends to embrace its sports stars with small-town enthusiasm and innocence, as if they were high school heroes. Many former Packers,

Brewers and Bucks settle in the area after their playing days, and it’s not the weather that keeps them. “Braun is the most prominent face of that franchise since Robin Yount,” said Cubs manager Dale Sveum, who played and coached in Milwaukee for a dozen years. “The people who paid to see him play, who bought his jersey, who believed him – they’re feeling let down, no question.” Braun is 29. He’s a pariah for now, but he’ll have a chance to recover in a forgiving society – who’d have thought Michael Vick would reclaim his status as a millionaire NFL quarterback? Alex Rodriguez is 38. If he draws a lifetime ban as a repeat offender (as USA Today reported he would on

Wednesday night), he faces losing the $86 million remaining on the richest contract in baseball history, as well as a reasonable claim to being the best player of his era. If A-Rod wasn’t, Barry Bonds was. Now they are teammates in disgrace, their numbers, records and reputations forever discredited by chemical enhancement. So stupid. Both players were first-ballot Hall of Famers on talent alone. But their egos demanded more. Roger Craig was chatting up reporters in his Candlestick Park office before a game several years ago when Vida Bue’s name came up. Craig’s Giants had signed Blue as a No. 5 starter that season, hoping to wring eight or 10 wins out of his aging left arm, but

split-finger guru Craig was mortified to discover that Vida couldn’t throw the bedeviling pitch – his hand was too small to affect the proper grip. “So I taught him to throw a spitball,” Craig said, “and I told him to call it a Cuban forkball if anybody asked.” We all nodded, more amused than stunned or outraged by Craig’s revelation. It was cheating in a different form, but it seemed more acceptable, like stealing signs, “deking” runners or other edge-seeking practices that fell under the heading of gamesmanship. And it didn’t pervert the game. • Dan McGrath is a columnist for

Spring Grove’s Duncan keeps focus on walleye By STEVE SARLEY sportsdesk@nwherald.com Spring Grove’s Scott Duncan is one of the top professional fishermen in the nation. It is surprising that the affable Duncan has made his mark in the world of walleyes, because the Land of Lincoln is not known as one of the country’s walleye hotspots. Duncan, one of the more charismatic characters on the walleye circuit, was born and bred in McHenry County, where he lives with his wife, Tammy, and two daughters, Jessie and Sammy. Duncan claims to have been addicted to the outdoors since birth. His father claims he started taking Scott fishing “on the day he stopped soiling his diapers.” His interests as a youth ranged from fishing to hunting to trapping. Because of the constraints placed on him to raise a family, he now only fishes. In 1996, Scott was bitten by the walleye bug and fishes for them almost exclusively. He claims that he went to college and majored in “personality.” “I can find humor in almost anything and rarely let a chance at a wise crack go by me,” Duncan said. “I can be a very serious person if

“I owe a lot of my success to the help and advice Scott (Duncan) has shared with me.” Marianne Huskey 2012 AIM Angler of the Year need be, but have always preferred to be a class clown. It’s more fun.” In 1998, Duncan became the founder and director of the Chain Walleye Series, a major local tournament series. He also administered the Charlie Chain Fishing Series team tournaments on the Fox Chain in Antioch. His personality has made him in demand to be the emcee at many tournaments. In regard to fishing, Duncan has fished successfully in the Chain Walleye Series, the Masters Walleye Circuit, the Wave Wacker Invitational series, the RCL Pro Am Tournaments and the AIM Pro Walleye Series. Duncan has participated in tournaments in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin. His highest-paying and most prestigious tournament victory

was 2012’s first-place finish at the AIM Bay Mills Can-Am Invitational. In addition to his competitive nature, Duncan has a charitable side. Breast cancer has affected several Duncan friends and family members. Duncan’s wife, friends and family members have participated in the three-day walk and various other fundraising activities to raise money for “Susan G. Komen For The Cure.” Duncan supports their efforts by raising money through his tournament fishing. He donates a portion of his earnings to the cause. Duncan feels he can also help raise awareness of the issue. Recently, Duncan has formed a partnership with top pro angler Mike Gofron of Antioch to create www.walleyeworkshop.com. It’s an educational site that helps the average angler to sharpen his game through instructional videos. 2012 AIM Angler of the Year Marianne Huskey, the first female AOY in pro fishing history said, “Scott Duncan is a great fisherman, a great guy and a great friend. I owe a lot of my success to the help and advice that Scott has shared with me. He will win many more walleye tournaments in his career.”

Rising cost of outdoor recreation Ask a northern Illinois outdoors person for an opinion on the state of the outdoors and be ready to get an earful. Not only are our readers opinionated, they are wellinformed. Lake in the Hills’ Mike Miller shared his thoughts about the cost of recreation. “I had to reduce the number of permits I buy to offset the 2011 price increases. I now spend $5 less (6 percent), but can only harvest 50 percent of the venison I used to. I am not a trophy hunter and my family eats all the deer I harvest. So the question is ‘What do we get with these increases?’ I know last year we had increased aerial enforcement in the county I hunt. We also got random roadside safety checks. I do not view these activities favorably.” “Here are some of the other activities I enjoy with their associated costs; Fishing license was $12.50, now it’s $15; Hunting license was $7.50, now it’s $12.50; Sportsman license was $18.50, now it’s $26.25; Deer permit was $15.00, now it’s $25.00, an increase of 66 percent; Camping fees increased twice recently from $11 to $15 and now $25; Electrical hookup was $5, now $10.” Charter captain Bob Jenkins told me, “Lake Michigan bait fish population is way up in my book. I fish every day and clean these fish every day. The stomachs of these fish are full of alewives. It seems that the bait really started getting heavy the last two years. I get to talk to the captain of the federal survey boat and all he wants to talk about is retiring. In my opinion, they don’t really know what’s happening out there.

FISHING REPORT Northern Illinois: Dave Kranz

I like cut bait or stink bait. Use an egg weight so they do not feel the weight when they pick up the bait.” Honest John from C.J. Smith’s resort on Grass Lake sends word, “Bluegills are biting in big numbers on trout worms. Largemouth bass are turned on in Bluff Lake at the mouth, in the bay and along the piers on the back bay of Lake Marie. Walleye are still biting, especially over the sand bars in Lake Marie. Nice catfish are being caught in the channels.” Lake Michigan: Captain Bob Rossa of Migrator Charters (www. ALakeMichiganCharter.com) says, “King fishing in Illinois on Lake Michigan has been excellent this past week. Lots of linesnapping, reel-breaking kings are in our area right now. Most are being caught from 50 to 110 feet of water. Moonshine’s Holdout spoon and Siggs white flies tied behind a Hot Spot white flasher have been very good baits. Some cohoes and rainbow trout are being caught in the deeper water. Perch fishing season started up again Aug. 1.” Wisconsin: Mike Capellani says, “Delavan Pike fishing is the best I’ve seen in a while. The cool weather has turned them on beyond belief. Topwaters have gotten many 30-to 36-inch fish. Double-digit days are not uncommon.”

from Dave’s Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports: “The not-so dog days of summer can be good fishing if you fish for the right type of fish. Ponds or bays that have heavy weed growth can be a lot of fun with a Spro or Scum frog. Catfishing can be the best in the summertime.

OUTDOORS Steve Sarley “I believe the cutback in the stocking is another hoax to divert the sportsman dollars back in the general fund. The state really doesn’t have the money to hire a good biologist, we always get the middle of the road. I also talk to the guys that bring the fish from the Jake Wolf facility and they say we haven’t received what they are telling us for years. It’s another shoestring budget affair.” Mike Marchewka had comments about Illinois coyotes, “My big concern is coyote control. I am a fur trapper and also a state licensed nuisance trapper. The coyote numbers are unbelievable. Trappers need to be able to use a snare on dry land. We currently can use snares for water trapping ... beaver control. When cold weather hits, the ground freezes and it basically shuts coyote trapping down. I am getting more and more calls regarding coyotes around houses, schools, etc. This is a very dangerous situation. Some young kid is going to be killed, and then it will be too late.”

Pets on a plane often suffer New study casts doubt on fish oil rough rides through airport Dear Abby: I travel a lot in my work with animal protection. Often I’ll encounter dogs and cats in distress as soon as I reach the airport. Distracted by their own thoughts, their owners seldom realize they’re upsetting the pets they’re carrying through the terminal. Animal carriers are carelessly swung to and fro, banged against counters, chairs and onto the floor. Cat or dog shoulder bags are dangled at angles that make it impossible for the animal inside to balance. These poor pets can be confused, dizzy and suffer from motion sickness before the flight even takes off. Traveling is stressful enough for animals. So please, everyone – if you fly with an animal companion, keep it foremost in your thoughts. Use a sturdy, well-ventilated carrier, preferably one with wheels, that’s designed for animals and to fit under your seat. And please, keep the carrier upright and steady. – Animal Lover In Washington, D.C. Dear Animal Lover: Thank you for the heads up. In case someone’s pet might have other issues while traveling, it’s always a good idea to talk about it with a veterinarian before embarking. (Sorry, I couldn’t resist.) Dear Abby: I’m a 19-year-old guy, and for as long as I can

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips remember, my parents have yelled at me. It lasts for hours at a time at night after they come home from work almost every day. It’s never about me doing something bad, but how I never do anything up to their expectations. I don’t know if they’re right or wrong, but it makes me depressed and I have been thinking about suicide. I have never been able to have an opinion of my own because as soon as I had one my parents would yell at me all over again and call me “stupid and retarded.” I cry myself to sleep at night hoping God will put me to sleep forever. Please tell me what to do. – Justin In San

Francisco Dear Justin: Verbal abuse – which is what you are describing – can be every bit as destructive as physical abuse. Perhaps it’s time to consider moving out. With the constant verbal battering you’re receiving, it’s no wonder you’re depressed. Harming yourself is not the answer to your problem. Because you have reached the point of wanting to hurt yourself, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

The number is 800-784-2433. A counselor there can direct you to the help you need. You may have to build your self-esteem from the ground up, but the effort will be well worth it. My thoughts are with you. Dear Abby: A few months ago, my mother joined Facebook, and I readily accepted her friend request. I’m a 30-something IT specialist, but Mom is new to the Internet. There are times I have gone online and seen posts in which my mother is arguing with my friends about their lifestyles. I have friends and business contacts from all over the world, and their backgrounds are highly varied as are their belief and value systems. I have told Mom in private and public discussions that she owes someone an apology, but she shrugs it off. Am I wrong for asking her to respect my friends, and would you suggest I “unfriend” my mother until she learns proper Internet etiquette? – Digital Family Man Dear Family Man: Because what your mother is doing could negatively affect your business, you should do EXACTLY that. And quickly.

Dear Dr. K: I have risk factors for heart disease. I’ve been dutifully taking fish oil supplements for years to reduce my risk of a heart attack. Now I read that they don’t help. Should I stop taking them? Dear Reader: Fish oil, loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, has garnered a reputation as an easy way to protect the heart. But a recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found fish oil pills don’t reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in people at increased risk. The new study focused on about 12,500 people who never had a heart attack or stroke. But they had high blood pressure, a family history of heart disease or other factors that increased their risk. Study participants were randomly divided into two groups. One group took a daily capsule containing omega-3 fatty acids found in fish. The other group took “dummy” pills that contained olive oil. During the next five years, about 12 percent of people in each group died or suffered a heart attack, stroke or other heart-related problem. People who took fish oil did not fare any bet-

advise my patients to keep eating fish, especially fatty fish that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Examples of fatty fish include salmon, sardines, mackerel, char and halibut. You still might decide to take an omega-3 supplement. At low to moderate doses (1,000 milligrams or less a day), this appears to be quite safe. Since fish oil has a mild blood-thinning effect, check with your doctor if you’re also taking a blood thinner as well as fish oil capsules. In the meantime, stick to proven ways to lower your chance of heart attack and stroke: • Quit smoking. • Exercise more. • Eat smaller portions. • Decrease saturated fats and eliminate trans fats. • Keep your blood pressure in the normal range, with medicines if needed. • Lower your LDL cholesterol with medication if needed. • Ask your doctor if you should take a baby aspirin.

ter than those who didn’t. One study rarely settles a controversial question. There are hundreds of studies of fish oil supplements, and they don’t all point in the same direction. This new study was a very strong one, but it can be criticized. For example, there is evidence olive oil also is heart-healthy. If the truth is both fish oil capsules and olive oil capsules can protect the heart, then perhaps the study would have been more convincing if fish oil were compared to a capsule with a substance not thought to be heart-healthy. Nevertheless, based on this study, I wouldn’t rely on fish oil pills to lower your risk of heart attack and stroke. However, taking fish oil capsules is not the same thing as eating fish. There is very strong evidence that people who regularly eat fish have lower rates of heart disease. Multiple well-done studies have shown a diet including fish leads to lower rates of heart disease and stroke. So I

Simpson wins parole THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Thursday, August 1, 2013 • PlanitNorthwest.com/buzz

O.J. Simpson won a small victory Wednesday in his bid for freedom as Nevada granted him parole on some of his 2008 convictions for kidnapping and armed robbery involving the holdup of two sports memorabilia dealers at a Las Vegas hotel room. But the decision doesn’t mean Simpson will be leaving prison anytime soon. The former NFL star was convicted on multiple charges and still faces at least four more years behind bars on sentences that were ordered to run consecutively. The Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners released its decision in favor of Simpson’s parole request Wednesday. Commissioners noted Simpson’s “positive institutional record” and his participation in programs addressing “behavior that led to incarceration.”

Sharks circle networks

Court: Rihanna a ‘style icon’ Pop singer Rihanna has won a court case in Britain against retailer Topshop, which was selling T-shirts bearing her image without permission. High Court Justice Colin Birss ruled in favor of the singer Wednesday, saying buyers were likely deceived by believing Rihanna had authorized its sale. “I am quite satisfied that many fans of Rihanna regard her endorsement as important,” the judge said in his ruling. “She is their style icon. Many will buy a product because they think she has approved of it. Others will wish to buy it because of the value of the perceived authorization itself. In both cases they will have been deceived.” Birss also said the sales caused a loss of control over Rihanna’s reputation in the fashion realm, where the singer has been trying to carve out a name as a designer. She has a clothing line in her name at a rival store. The shirts were first sold as the “Rihanna Tank.” After her complaints, they were sold as being the “Headscarf Girl Tank” and the “Icon Tank.” Topshop’s owner, Arcadia Group Brands Ltd., had argued that Rihanna was seeking legal recognition for a flawed assumption that only a celebrity could market a product bearing his or her image. Topshop said it was surprised and disappointed by the ruling and was considering an appeal. “There was no intention by Topshop to create the appearance of an endorsement or promotion,” it said in a statement. “We do not believe it conveyed any false message to our customers.” The judge did not make an assessment of damages in his ruling.

Colliding stunts on Discovery and The Weather Channel next week feel like another “Sharknado.” Discovery is holding its 26th annual Shark Week of programming at the same time The Weather Channel is airing Hurricane Week. The weather folks can’t resist a joke about it, airing a promotional ad that depicts a giant shark flying away in

a stiff wind that references both Shark Week and “Sharknado,” the Syfy network movie that has become a campy classic this summer. “If having a little fun with this very serious topic helps get a little more attention, we’re all for it,” said David Clark, Weather Channel president.

Rowling gets donation Author J.K. Rowling accepted an apology and a charitable donation Wednesday from a law firm which revealed she wrote a crime novel under a pseudonym. The “Harry Potter” author was exposed by a newspaper on July 14 as the author of “The Cuckoo’s Calling,” a thriller ostensibly written by former soldier and first-time novelist Robert Galbraith. The law firm Russells, which has done work for Rowling, acknowledged one of its partners had let the information slip to his wife’s best friend, who tweeted it to a Sunday Times columnist.

Rowling sued the lawyer and the friend. Russells agreed to reimburse Rowling’s legal costs and to make a “substantial” donation to The Soldiers’ Charity, which helps former military personnel and their families. Rowling also said she was donating all royalties from the book for the next three years to the charity.

Exec: A ‘Dexter’ spinoff? Showtime’s president is hinting that a “Dexter” spin-off may be forthcoming. David Nevins said Tuesday Showtime has signed a two-year deal with Scott Buck, the executive producer of “Dexter.” The serial killer drama starring Michael C. Hall is in its eighth and final season. Showtime says Buck will be working with the premium cable channel on several new projects. In response to the question whether there will be a follow-up series to “Dexter,” the Showtime executive noted the deal with producer Buck and suggested reporters draw their own conclusions.

An architect’s rendering shows a 29,000-square-foot corporate office building to be erected at Scot Forge’s facility at 8001 Winn Road in Spring Grove. The expansion could add at least 15 jobs in the coming years, company officials said.

Forging ahead Scot Forge plans to add offices, manufacturing By BRETT ROWLAND browland@shawmedia.com SPRING GROVE – Scot Forge is planning a major expansion at its Spring Grove headquarters that includes adding space for corporate offices and manufacturing. The company, which makes metal parts for everything from airplanes to submarines, plans to add a threestory, 29,000-square-foot office building at 8001 Winn Road. Scot Forge also will add about 87,000-square feet of manufacturing space to the south side of its property. The expansion will tack on nearly 120,000 square feet of space to the company’s existing 350,000-square-foot facility. With the additional facilities, Scot Forge will be able to maintain a competitive edge in the global open-die and rolled ring forging industry, said Scott LaRose, a project engineer at Scot Forge. The modern-looking office building would have a glass entrance tower and other features that would “accentuate the modernization we are going through,” Joseph Stadelman, principal architect and vice president at Angus Young, a Janesville, Wis.-based firm, told Spring Grove’s Architectural Review Commission at a special meeting Monday. The additional manufacturing space would house heat-treating equipment and other machines used for finishing the products the company produces, LaRose said. Scot Forge plans to add at least 15 jobs over the next several years as a result of the expansion. The company declined to say how much the expansion would cost. Commissioners toured the exterior of the Scot Forge building during the meeting and gave company officials and architects directions on what colors and building materials they’d like to see used in the expansion. The commission plans to meet again Monday before making a formal recommendation on the designs to the village board. Several commissioners pressed for details about the company’s future plans at the site and plans for the for-

Fed’s dimmer outlook could mean longer bond buying By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve stopped short of signaling any timetable Wednesday for slowing its bond buying. Instead, it dropped hints that it might need to maintain its $85 billion a month in bond purchases, which have helped keep long-term borrowing rates ultra-low. In a statement after a two-day policy meeting the Fed: • Slightly downgraded its assessment of economic growth from “moderate” to “modest.” • Noted for the first time that mortgage rates, which have fueled home sales, “have risen somewhat” from record lows. • Pointed out that inflation has fallen “persistently below” its 2 percent target. The Fed’s bond purchases could help stop inflation from falling so low that it could pose a threat to the economy.

Taken together, such factors could cause the Fed to delay any pullback in its bond buying beyond September. September is when many economists have thought the Fed would start to slow its purchases because of a strengthening economy. “I don’t think the Fed will be ready” to slow its bond purchases in September,” said Brian Bethune, an economics professor at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, Calif. “Not only is growth running below their target, but inflation is below where they would like it to be.” The Fed does expect growth to pick up in the second half of the year. But it doesn’t appear ready to assume it will. Investors offered a muted reaction to the Fed’s policy statement. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.62 percent from 2.66 percent just before the announcement. In its statement, the Fed said it will keep buying $85 billion a month in bonds to help lower

long-term interest rates. And it says it plans to hold its key short-term rate at a record low near zero at least as long as the unemployment rate stays above 6.5 percent and the inflation outlook remains mild. Stronger job growth has fueled speculation that the Fed could start reducing its purchases as soon as September. But economic growth remains sluggish and unemployment high at 7.6 percent. At its June meeting, the Fed had described economic growth as “moderate,” and forecast that growth could be at least 2.3 percent for the year. In the Fed’s sometimes arcane language, “moderate” is stronger than “modest.” Chairman Ben Bernanke said after the June meeting that the Fed could slow the bond purchases later this year if the economy and job market continued to strengthen.

8IN BRIEF German unemployment rises to 6.8 percent in July BERLIN – Germany’s unemployment rate rose to 6.8 percent in July due to seasonal factors such as the start of the summer holiday period, but the labor market in Europe’s biggest economy remained solid, official data showed Wednesday. The unadjusted jobless rate was up from 6.6 percent in June, with 2.914 million people registered as unemployed. That was an increase of 49,000 compared with the previous month, and 38,000 more than a year earlier, the Federal Labor Agency said. In seasonally adjusted terms, the jobless rate was steady at 6.8 percent for the third consecutive month, while the number of people out of work declined by 7,000. Summer vacations typically swell the unadjusted number – the politically significant headline rate in Germany – as students register as unemployed. Germany’s healthy labor market remains an asset to Chancellor Angela Merkel as she seeks a third term in Sept. 22 parliamentary elections. Unemployment in Germany is far lower than in many other European countries. Spain and Greece, for example, have unemployment rates above 25 percent. “In the second quarter, all indications suggest that the German economy grew more strongly,” labor agency chief Frank-Juergen Weise said. “The labor market is also benefiting from that.”

Three signs indicate effective leaders Everyone has their own opinions of what characteristics make a good leader. From well-spoken and patient to charismatic and forceful, the list of qualities can run the gamut. Sure-tell signs of effective leaders aren’t in their traits, but in their results. As you look within your own company and try to gauge the effectiveness of your own leadership, or the leadership of others, look for these three indicators. 1. Consistent growth. True leaders know they are neither perfect nor omniscient. They are always looking for ways to be better and never veer from the path of self-improvement. One of the best signs of a good leader is a slight spirit of discontent. You have to be able to recognize that you are better today than you were a year ago, but still, focus on becoming even better a year from now. Growth can never take a backseat to your business. Listening to audio books, having a current leadership book on your nightstand, participating in a peer group that challenges you in your role must be constants in your life. In their book, “Great Lead-

WORKFORCE Terri Greeno ers Grow,” Mark Miller and Ken Blanchard point out that, “If you get too busy with your job to grow, your influence and your leadership will stagnate and ultimately evaporate.” 2. Continual success. If the proof is in the pudding, then a good leader’s team will achieve success again and again. Results prove true in the business world and in sports. Take Terry Bradshaw, former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback who led his team to multiple Super Bowl victories, for example. You could not be an ineffective leader and still have your team go on to win four Super Bowl titles. A poor leader might have a few victories, but continual success is the result of good leadership. A recent Forbes article echoes this assertion with its statement, “The result of good leadership is high morale, good employee retention, and sustainable long-term success.”

3. Contagious spirit. Another quick way to determine the quality of someone’s leadership is to look at their teammates, co-workers or employees. Are they excited about what they do? Are they stepping up and taking on leadership roles? A leader’s power doesn’t just rest in his or her ability to do a task well, whether it’s throwing a football or running a business. The real power lies in their ability to inspire greatness in their team. You are not a true leader if you simply inspire fear or mediocrity. Good leadership begets good leadership. Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones draw from extensive research in their book “Why Should Anyone Be Led by YOU?” to reveal true leadership. Rather than aspiring to a list of universal character traits, effective leaders are authentic: they deploy individual strengths to engage followers’ hearts, minds and souls. While being skillful at consistently being themselves, true leaders adapt their behaviors to effectively respond to changing demands and environments.

Facebook passes $38 initial public offering price NEW YORK – Facebook’s stock has passed its $38 IPO price for the first time since its rocky public debut last May, crossing a symbolic hurdle that has eluded it for more than a year. Shares of Facebook Inc. increased 1.2 percent to $38.08 in morning trading Wednesday. That’s the highest the stock has traded since the company’s highly anticipated initial public offering ended with a thud. The stock is up by more than 50 percent since last week. The world’s biggest online social network has been on a roll since reporting stronger-thanexpected earnings on July 24.

NBCUniversal boosts Comcast Q2 results NEW YORK – The decision by Comcast Corp., the country’s largest cable company, to buy General Electric out of the NBCUniversal business looks like a smart one, as the media conglomerate posted strong results for the second quarter. It was the first quarter in which Philadelphia-based Comcast owned all of NBCUniversal, the parent of the NBC broadcast network and Universal Studios. Comcast bought control of NBCUniversal in 2011, with an agreement to buy the remaining GE stake over time. It sped up the schedule this year, buying out GE on March 19 for $16.7 billion. NBCUniversal’s results are more volatile than Comcast’s slow-and-steady cable business. In the second quarter, it posted a 9 percent increase in revenue to $6 billion, well above analyst estimates at $5.75 billion, as polled by FactSet. Results were driven by the release of “Fast & Furious 6” in theaters, and by ad sales for top-rated broadcast TV show “The Voice.” Coupled with continued strong performance in the Comcast cable business, NBCUniversal helped push overall results beyond Wall Street expectations. Comcast earned $1.73 billion, or 65 cents per share, in the April to June period. That’s up from $1.35 billion, or 50 cents per share, in the same period a year earlier. Overall revenue rose 7 percent to $16.3 billion from $15.2 billion. Analysts had expected earnings of 63 cents per share on revenue of $16 billion.

In honing and deploying your unique leadership assets, remember to manage the inherent tensions at the heart of successful leadership: Showing emotion and withholding it, getting close to followers while keeping a distance, and maintaining individuality while still “conforming enough.” Leadership is social in nature while being much attuned to the needs and expectations of individual followers who observe and interact with you. When leaders are true to their core, authentic, their leadership is inspiring. Many people proclaim themselves to be good leaders. After all, no one wants to be told that they’re a bad or ineffective leader. But, good leadership is proven through results, not words. If you really want to gauge the effectiveness of your own leadership, consider your growth, your team’s success, and your teammate’s attitudes. Those three elements will tell you what you need to know.

Scot Forge plans to add about 87,000 square feet of manufacturing space to the south of its existing 350,000-square-foot facility in Spring Grove. An architect’s rendering shows one of several possible exterior facades for the addition.

Scot Forge working with village on expansion plans • FORGING Continued from page D1 Scot Forge is working with the village “to ensure that our plans meet our company’s expansion needs, upgrade the site’s appearance in harmony with the community and represent our industry-leading position,” LaRose said. Village President Mark Eisenberg said Spring Grove would work with the company as the project moves forward. Not only does the company employ many village residents, it also supports community events and other civic efforts.

“It means a lot to us,” he said. “I can’t say enough about how important Scot Forge is for the community.” The expansion would likely bring more manufacturing jobs to the town and it could also generate additional utility taxes for the village, Eisenberg said. Scot Forge uses massive amounts of electricity to heat up metal for forging. The company’s energy use generates about $100,000 a year in utility taxes for the village. “Scot Forge is an incredible asset to McHenry County’s economy,” said Pam Cumpata, president of the McHenry County Economic Develop-

But after Wednesday’s meeting, the Fed described the economy as expanding only at a “modest pace.” Earlier Wednesday, the government said the economy grew at a subpar 1.7 percent annual rate from April through June. The pace was an improvement from than the previous two quarters, which were revised lower. Still, growth remains sluggish and has been below 2 percent for three straight quarters. Most economists, including those at the Fed, expect growth will strengthen in the second half of the year. That’s because they believe businesses will spend more, stronger job growth will fuel more consumer spending and government spending cuts will weigh less on overall growth. Job growth has averaged 202,000 a month since January, up from 180,000 a month in the last six months of 2012. That makes Friday’s July employment report even more critical to the Fed’s assessment of the economy. The report is expected to show employers kept hiring at roughly the same pace in July, while the unemployment rate ticked down to 7.5 percent.

Is it time to appeal your real estate assessment? It’s that time of year again. That time we’re all so excited about. Time when we each start receiving our assessment letters in the mail. This year is a little different, though, in that for many they are arriving earlier than in the past. Without boring you with the details, the gist is that basically a law changed which allows township assessors to publish reports earlier. Therefore, we already have seen several township assessors publish their assessments. So what does this mean to you? Well, it means a couple of things. First, be on the lookout for your assessment letter in the mail. It is no longer a postcard, as it had been in the past, but rather a full page letter. Second, even if you don’t actually receive the letter, your deadline to file an appeal – should you choose to do so – is just 30 days from the date the assessments are published in the papers (notably, the Northwest Herald). That being said, the assessment letter you receive has more information on it than it did in past years. Specifically, your “Fair Market Value” is clearly identified as such. Take notice of this amount as it is perhaps the single most important piece of information contained on that letter. This is the value of your home as given by the assessor through the assessment formula. Take a look at that number. Is it close to what you think your home is worth? If it happens to be lower than your idea

REAL ESTATE Jim Haisler of value, good for you! Undoubtedly, though, in today’s market, most will likely believe their home is worth less than the assessor has listed. Keep in mind that the assessor truly only re-evaluates your home every four years unless you appeal the value formally. So, even though some market conditions may suggest the value of your home has declined, the calculation may not have panned out for your home. The point is that it may not actually be the assessor’s fault that your assessment is off, as you see it. If you believe your value is lower than the assessed Fair Market Value, you should pick up the phone immediately and contact your township assessor and have a discussion about how they came up with your value. Most often, they will talk you through the process and explain how values are determined. Possibly, in some situations, if you call early enough or depending on that township’s staffing abilities, they may even be able to work with you to make an adjustment without going through a more formal process. You will need to have actual evidence to support your case, of course. Diplomacy is always the best first option. One of the biggest challenges is ensuring all the data is accurate regarding your home or those you’re comparing

2013 may be used. If you believe, and can offer sufficient proof, that your home’s value is significantly less than the assessor’s determination, you should consider filing a formal appeal. As daunting as that sounds, it is really rather simple. But, keep in mind, that if you file an appeal it might hurt you. It is possible, although perhaps not likely, that the panel who hears your appeal could actually raise your Fair Market Value; while it is a rare thing, it is a possibility that you should be aware of. As was mentioned, filing an appeal is actually simple and typically does not require an attorney or an expert. Certainly you can hire an expert to do this for you, but for most people it is unnecessary. Most of the form can be filled in right from the assessment letter itself. The hardest part is to support your position of value. This can be done through a few options, such as, an assessment appraisal, property comparables, or assessment comparables. Very basically, an assessment appraisal is attained by hiring a local appraiser for a fee to give you a formal opinion of value of your home as of Jan. 1. Property comparables are often attained from real estate professionals, who search the MLS database looking for sale’s data of similar homes that sold in the fourth quarter of 2012 and first quarter of 2013. Some agents charge a fee for this service and others do not.

against. While assessors should have details on what work has been done to homes, they don’t always have the correct information on the square footage of homes, number of bedrooms and baths, finished basements, additions, or other upgrades. If, however, that doesn’t work for you, you may wish to contact your local real estate agent. Many real estate agents will offer some quick advice about the value of your home or even offer to send you some information free of charge. Homes that are more “cookie cutter” in nature, like those in a new home development where they may even have model names and such, are rather easy for most agents who work that area to give you an approximate value range. At this point you really need to get a feeling for what your home’s actual market value may be. One problem that exists, however, is that the assessor’s Fair Market Value is based on a Jan 1, 2013, value, while an agent may be thinking of current conditions. Some markets in the county have improved significantly in the past 6 months so that needs to be accounted for. You need to know what your home’s value was on Jan 1, 2013, not today’s value. The issue with this is that the slowest time for housing is often in winter, so finding good comparable sale’s data may be more difficult for that time period than the spring, summer or fall. The best comparable data is that which are closest to Jan. 1 even though technically comparable from July 2012 to June

Make sure you select an agent who is familiar with this process, someone who has done this before, and who knows your market area well. Assessment comparables are less often utilized but is the process of appealing your value based on your neighbors’ assessments. That is, if your neighbors all have similar houses to yours, in theory, you should all be assessed equally. There are flaws to this logic, however, that there isn’t space here to cover. You can’t compare the taxed amount directly as different types of exemptions may distort the taxed amount. If you take nothing else away from this article know that 1) you have just 30 days to file an appeal once your assessment is published in the paper, 2) appealing is not difficult and often doesn’t require hiring an attorney, 3) know your home’s value as of Jan. 1, 2013. You don’t have to wait to get your assessment to start finding that out. Forms are available online at the County’s website, along with the Board of Review’s rules, which should be read prior to an appeal.

U.S. economy grew at sluggish 1.7 pct. pace in 2Q By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON – The U.S. economy grew from April through June at an annual rate of 1.7 percent – a sluggish pace but stronger than in the previous quarter. Businesses spent more, and the federal government cut less, offsetting weaker spending by consumers. The government on Wednesday sharply revised down its estimate of growth in the January-March quarter to a 1.1 percent annual rate from a previously estimated 1.8 percent rate. Though growth remains weak, the pickup last quarter supports forecasts that the economy will accelerate in the rest of the year. Economists think businesses will step up investment, job growth will fuel more consumer spending and the drag from government cuts will fade. If so, the Federal Reserve could scale back its stimulus later this year. The April-June growth figure indicates that “the recovery is gaining momentum,” Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics, said in a note to clients. During the April-June quarter, businesses increased their spending 4.6 percent after cutting by the same amount in the January-March period. And spending on home construction grew 13.4 percent, in line with the previous quarter. At the same time, the federal government cut spending only 1.5 percent after slashing

it 8.4 percent in the first quarter. And state and local governments spent more for the first time in a year. Still, government cutbacks have weighed heavily on the economy the past 12 months. Over the past four quarters, the economy has grown at just a 1.4 percent annual rate. But if you exclude federal, state and local governments, the private sector has expanded at a much stronger 2.3 percent rate. The “ongoing fiscal drag is masking private sector health,” said Joseph LaVorgna, an economist at Deutsche Bank, said. The weaker growth in consumer spending last quarter was significant because consumers account for about 70 percent of the economy. And a surge in imports reduced growth by the most in three years. Yet economists say steady job growth should provide enough money for Americans to spend more and help the economy expand at an annual rate of around 2.5 percent in the third and fourth quarters. Some signs in the report suggest that companies expect demand to pick up. Businesses added to their stockpiles last quarter – typically a sign that they foresee higher sales. On Wednesday, the government also released comprehensive revisions that updated the nation’s gross domestic product, or GDP, over the past several decades. Those figures showed that the Great Recession wasn’t quite as steep as initially estimated and that

the recovery has been stronger than earlier thought. The revisions showed that the economy grew 2.8 percent in 2012, up from an earlier estimate of 2.2 percent. Growth in last year’s first quarter was revised much higher. And growth in the fourth quarter of 2012 was reduced to an annual rate of just 0.1 percent. GDP is the broadest measure of the nation’s output of goods and services. It includes everything from manicures to industrial machinery. But the government’s comprehensive revisions included changes in how GDP is defined. Research and development spending is now counted as investment, rather than an expense. So is spending on the development of entertainment products such as movies, music, books and TV shows. Those changes increased the size of the economy by about $470 billion, or about 3 percent, as of the end of 2012. Pension benefit promises are now counted as income. That’s a shift from the previous approach, which counted only actual cash payments by companies and government agencies into pension plans. This change boosted the savings rate by 1.5 percentage points in 2011 and 2012 to about 5.6 percent. In the second quarter, Americans saved 4.5 percent of their after-tax income, up from 4 percent in the first quarter. Despite the still-sluggish economy, recent data have been encouraging and suggest that growth will strengthen.

NEW YORK – A small business star will be born during a commercial break in Super Bowl XLVIII. A company yet to be selected will have its own 30-second ad during the game, giving it the kind of exposure usually reserved for mega-brands like Budweiser and Chevrolet. The spot will be the culmination of a competition sponsored by software maker Intuit Inc., which has never run a Super Bowl commercial of its own, but is paying for one small business to be in the spotlight during the third quarter of the Big Game. “This is the sort of thing that small businesses dream about,” says Tim Calkins, a professor of marketing at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. “It’s impossible to match the attention you get from being in the Super Bowl.” There’s also some risk. Small businesses often don’t have the capacity to handle the kind of exposure that the winner is bound to get. The company will need to be prepared to handle the sudden surge in business it might get from the ad. Intuit, which makes software for small businesses says that ability will be one of the criteria companies must meet to make it to the final stages of the competition.

The Super Bowl draws more than 100 million U.S. viewers. The match between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers in February was seen by 108.4 million people. Super Bowl commercials are a “can you top that” showcase for advertising agencies, which try to come up with the funniest and most memorable ads. The commercials have become as a big a deal as the game and the halftime show. Viewers tweet their reactions and post comments on Facebook during the game and chat about the best and worst when they get to work the next day. “The advertising is entertainment in and of itself,” says Sheri Bridges, an associate professor of marketing at Wake Forest University’s School of Business. The small business commercial will differ from most Super Bowl commercials, which add another layer of gloss to a wellknown brand. The small business spot will be created by RPA, an advertising agency that has produced past Super Bowl commercials, including an Acura ad starring Jerry Seinfeld and a Honda spot with Matthew Broderick for the 2012 game. RPA says it expects to create the same kind of high-quality production for the competition winner as it does for its big corporate clients.

New model opens for public viewing Jerry Kuyper HUNTLEY - Henning Estates has set a record for McHenry County. There are more luxury ranches available at the Rock Creek Homes subdivision on Church Road near Route 20 and Interstate 90 than at any development in the county. Ryan VanLue, president of RCH, said there is a reason for setting this record. “We believe ranches are gaining more appeal because

people are getting tired of climbing stairs every day and they appreciate the huge basements that can be finished as game rooms, additional bedrooms, workout rooms and more,” Van Lue said. “Ranches also allow architects the freedom to put volume or dramatic vaulted ceilings in virtually every room because they do not have to worry about what is going on upstairs.” To satisfy this trend, RCH now offers four ranch plans at Henning Estates. These plans, which consolidate primary living space into a stair-free environment, provide 1,803 to 2,260

120 Oak Rd., Algonquin

square feet of living space and are priced from $367,900 to $396,900. If none of these plans satisfy the buyer, the builder will design a ranch plan from scratch. The newest ranch on display is the decorated NewCastle. It is a 1,803 square-foot, model with optional three-car garage. With a base price of $367,900, which is with a two-car garage, this cedar-sided model with masonry accents is open for inspection. To set up an appointment to see it, call (847) 338-3821.

• BUILDERS Continued from page F1 For empty-nesters, the floor plan eliminates the need to climb stairs and the dining room at the front of the home can be dressed up with dual French doors. The main living area of the NewCastle creates the impression that this 1,803 square-foot home is larger than it really is, VanLue said. He noted “clever” architectural details like the 12-foot volume ceilings in the family room and master bedroom, 9-foot ceilings in all other rooms and the elimination of unnecessary walls between the kitchen, dinette and family room. “The feeling of spaciousness is emphasized significantly,” he said. The master bedroom suite measures 13-feet-by-16-feet, which is big enough for a king-size bed and an assortment of bureaus and night stands. The bedroom has access to a private bath (with soaking tub and separate shower) and a walk-in closet. Standard features in the NewCastle include furniture-quality cabinetry with crown molding, central air conditioning, appliance package (stove, dishwasher, garbage disposal and microwave), and basement. The model is on display with an optional masonry fireplace in the family room. Other upgraded amenities on display are a sunroom, window basement, granite counter tops in master and hall bath, surround sound system with I-Pod docking station, Maytag stainless steel refrigerator, and front load clothes washer/dryer. All homes feature a basement, hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, vaulted ceilings, energy-efficient furnace and air conditioning, insulated windows, finished insulated garages, staggered maple cabinets, ceramic floor tile in baths, luxury master baths, and landscaped yards. Besides the NewCastle, the ranches are a $379,300, 2,209-square-foot Rockport, $389,990, 2,223-square-foot Brunswick and a $396,900 2,260-square-foot South Haven. Options are stone hearth fireplaces, walk-out basements, skylights, and additional bedroom options. Buyers can select a design from

Hardwood floors and cabinets are standard fare in ranch plans at Henning Estates in Huntley. a library of ranch plans and then customize them, if desired. “Most people think a lot about how they will entertain inside their new home, and make decisions on building materials and location of walls, windows and electrical outlets,” VanLue said. “But when building a new home, many do not think about how they will entertain outdoors. We remind our clients that it is important to take this into consideration so that the home can be constructed to anticipate this situation.” It is important to figure out if a family wants a patio or a wood deck as this will influence the backyard’s final grade. What is the buyer’s grand plans are for the backyard? If a hot tub or swimming pool are on the horizon, then an electrician has to run the necessary service to the rear of the house and make sure the electrical panel has enough empty circuits available for hooking them up. Extra electrical outlets and switches for the installation of floodlights or mood lighting should be installed as well. If a grill and a pool heater are wanted, the builder has to make sure black pipe is stubbed out at the rear of the house so that natural

gas or propane can be accessed. These considerations are some of the boring, but necessary details that must be addressed before moving to the more interesting architectural decisions that must be made for outdoor entertaining. “Everyone wants to immediately start talking about the decorative aspects of patios, decks, and porches, but installing all of the utilities in the correct locations makes the rest of the job much easier,” emphasized VanLue. The options available for outdoor entertaining are many and ideally should fit into a buyer’s budget. If a buyer wants a maintenance-free deck, it can be built with lumber created from recycled milk jugs in a variety of colors. For a more traditional look, real cedar or redwood lumber can be utilized. The deeper the pockets, the more options that become feasible, including pizza ovens, built-in sinks, refrigerators, artificial rocks with built-in speakers, waterfalls, hot tubs, heated swimming pools and three season rooms or screenedin porches. “On and on and on it goes,” VanLue said. A custom and semi-custom builder, RCH can handle the job, VanLue said. Hot trends with to-

day’s buyers, he noted, are stamped concrete patios, masonry fireplaces and screened-in porches. “We have been doing a lot of stamped concrete patios for our homeowners,” he said. “This process allows the homeowner to control the color of the concrete, the faux stone style and texture, which typically means we have a satisfied customer.” Stamped concrete is as durable as real stone, creates the same architectural appeal, is easy to maintain and costs less to install, he said. Some families are putting a new twist on the campfire pit encircled with stones. Everyone has memories of sitting around a burning fire, telling stories and roasting marshmallows. Today, though, the logs are placed in a masonry fireplace integrated into a tricked-out patio or deck. “With fireplaces, we also have the option of putting in a set of gas logs, or a gas lighter to help ignite real wood,” VanLue said. “Plus, there are many choices on how to finish the outdoor fireplace. A homeowner’s imagination is the only limit to what we can build for them.” Typically attached to a family

room or great room, a screenedin porch basically extends living space. When entertaining, guests can flow in and out of the house and not worry about flies landing on food or mosquitoes ruining the night. “Constructing a screened-in porch needs to be thought about carefully, it simply should not be tacked onto the back of a home and labeled a success,” VanLue said. “It should be integrated into the home and designed to make sure that natural light flows not only into the porch but through the rest of the home as well.” Henning Estates includes 103 sites that average 1/3 of an acre, 80 percent of which are suitable for a walk-out or look-out basement. Custom or semi-customhouses also can be built on one- or two-acre sites. “We designed Henning Estates with 103 lots to allow homeowners more open space and scenic views on larger home sites than you’ll find in most other new home communities. Our homeowners and visitors always comment on how they want a higher end ranch home without being on top of their neighbor so we’re happy all our hard work on the planning end created the perfect luxury ranch home community. “The amazing thing about the overall design and layout of the community is the privacy that homeowners will find at Henning Estates,” VanLue said. In the master plan, 100 percent of housing sites back up to open space, thus owners will not look out their back windows and see the back yard of another house. Of the community’s 110 acres, 55 are devoted to open space, wetlands or ponds. Access to Chicago or suburbs such as Hoffman Estates and Schaumburg is via various road networks and train lines. Residents can commute on Metra trains or by car using Interstate 90. Huntley and Marengo villages are nearby and present a variety of stores, shops, services, restaurants and churches. A new hospital is under construction on nearby Randall and Big Timber roads. Whisper Creek Golf Club, Blackstone Golf Club, Pinecrest Golf and Country Club and Marengo Ridge Golf Club are several minutes away by car.

Economic obstacles evaporate NORTHWEST HERALD ELGIN – The past four years have been tough on the new-home building industry. Many wanted to buy a new home, but obstacles were too great. Unemployment rates were high, people couldn’t sell existing homes due to a lack of buyers, many didn’t want to sell their house because they owed the bank more than what the home was worth and financial institutions were tight on lending standards. The end of four bad years is at hand. This summer, new housing prospects for builders and buyers are good. Banks and mortgage companies are starting to lend money to buyers again, and rates are favorable. The volume of short sales and home foreclosures has decreased significantly, which means there are fewer houses on the market to buy below market values, which means prices on existing homes are starting to rebound. This means many existing homes are no longer

underwater and are appreciating in value again. Another positive turnaround is being experienced by realtors in the sale of existing homes. Before, a house would languish on the market for months and never get a showing. Today, houses are selling at a quicker pace, and once again multiple offers on a house are becoming more common. Realtors are seeing more action, more people looking, and the length of time a house sits on the market has been reduced. For new housing communities such as Henning Estates, this is good news. Hennings relies on move-up buyers for sales. Those buyers have to sell a house before they can buy a new one at the subdivision on Church Road near Route 20 and Interstate 90. Ryan VanLue, president of the subdivision's development company, Rock Creek Homes of Elgin, said his type of buyer is back in the market at a good time. With 30-year fixed-rate mortgages at approximately 4.5 per-

cent, this is several percentage points less than the 2009 rate. The housing supply is dwindling and construction material prices are rising. VanLue's prices for Henning Estates semi-custom ranch models have remained constant, starting at $367,900. The one-third-acre sites are suitable for a walk-out or look-out basement. Each site backs up to a pond, mature woods or replanted tall grass prairie. Henning Estates represents the only community in McHenry County to be designed with the latest techniques for land conservation. All houses built in Henning Estates include brick, stone, cedar, and architecturally interesting rooflines, VanLue said. Each 1,800to 2,353-square-foot ranch home includes two or two-and-a-half bathrooms, two to three bedrooms, separate breakfast area, family and dining rooms and attached two-car garage. Each house has a basement, hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, vaulted ceilings, energy-efficient furnace and air

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

Groucho Marx said, “I’m not feeling very well -- I need a doctor immediately. Ring the nearest golf course.” Before we get to the relevance of that, look at the full deal and auction. What do you think about the various calls? Here is a good guideline: If your hand is not strong but has a long suit, show it immediately. In this case, East should have opened four hearts. Similarly, after the one-heart opening, South should have overcalled with three spades. West was right to make a negative double, promising length in both minors. Then, if East, with scant defensive values, was going to bid four hearts over three spades, she should have bid it over two diamonds. Do not give the opponents a ielder’s choice -- to double or to bid higher. And South should have passed four hearts around to North, who would have been happy to double. Four hearts should go down two. South leads the spade ace, then shifts to her singleton diamond. North takes two tricks in the suit

and leads the diamond three, suit-preference for clubs. South ruffs and switches to a club. North wins with the ace and plays another diamond. East can ruff high, but must lose one more trick to North’s heart king. Four spades can be made. West leads his singleton. East takes two heart tricks, then does best to lead her trump (but would probably play another heart). South wins with her ace and cashes the king. Eventually, South must guess to lead the club queen from her hand to pin East’s jack.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - A great emphasis will be placed on your leadership qualities in the year ahead. Whereas in the past you didn’t mind taking orders, you’ll now want to be the person who issues all the directives. Make sure you’re ready for the job. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Financial conditions could be rather testy, so it behooves you to manage your resources as wisely as you can. Avoid all excessive spending and don’t borrow or lend out any money. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you fail to establish some realistic objectives for yourself, you could burn out striving for an unattainable goal. Be practical, and you’ll do fine. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don’t do anything that could cause you problems today. You’re in a cycle where you need to pay strict attention to your inner judgment. If you stray, you’ll regret it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A domineering companion might attempt to involve you in something that you want no part of. You’ll need to muster the necessary resolve to stay out of trouble. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- To underestimate your competition would be a grievous error. You’ll have to bring your “A” game and go at it with everything you’ve got. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Review your tasks and/or assignments first thing, especially those that are distasteful to you. If your heart isn’t in your work, you could make things worse. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Hard feelings will result if you expect too much from a joint endeavor. Of course, the same might be true if your partner expects too much from you as well. All efforts must be equal. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Before you start finding fault with your mate, keep in mind not to blow things out of proportion. Once you open Pandora’s box, you might not be able to close it again. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Because you have acute critical faculties, it is sometimes easy for you to spot flaws in others. However, should you see a disturbance in someone today, you’d be wise to keep it to yourself. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your extravagant urges could demand your attention, making it possible for you to do something financially foolish. Before spending money outlandishly, remember how hard you worked for it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The consequences of your behavior could deleteriously affect your colleagues. Make doubly certain that your motives are constructive and noble. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Under most conditions, you’re not prone to holding grudges, yet today some old complaints might rear their heads. Try to forgive and forget, and you’ll be a lot happier.

Area musicians bring blues to life at McHenry

Blues, Brews & BBQ By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com

oronzo Cannon drives a bus in Chicago during the week and spends his weekends and vacations playing the Blues. He’s toured Latvia in northern Europe, Mexico, South Africa and France, along with playing some of Chicago’s greatest blues venues. He’s been doing it for nearly 13 years. “I’m just doing my part to keep the genre alive,” he said. At age 28, Aly Jados is about to release her first EP after auditioning for the reality television shows “American Idol” and “The Voice.” Also living in Chicago, the powerful singer/songwriter is determined to make a career of her music. “Just to know that there is something there that’s valuable in my voice, it kind of validates what I’ve been doing my whole life,” she said. The two are among eight acts slated to take the stage during the three-day McHenry Rotary Blues, Brews and BBQs festival. Only in its second year, the event takes place Aug. 2-4 at Petersen Park in McHenry, and includes a barbecue cook-off, volleyball tournament and 5K run, along with the music. The artists all have their own stories, their own dreams. But they share a general love of music, and along with the organizers of the festival, a desire to bring that music to people. “My regular job is a hum drum, working with the public job,” Cannon said. “This is where I let out all my energy.” At age 45, considered “young” when it comes to the Blues, Cannon said, he grew up listening to soulful legends, such as Junior Wells, Buddy Guy and Muddy Waters. The music inspired him to play in Chicago’s blues clubs and eventually form his own band, The Cannonball Express. He’s slated to a release his second CD soon with Delmark Records. “Blues has peeks and valleys, and there was a low time in the late-’70s. Stevie Ray [Vaughan] brought it back to a certain point,” he said. “We’re going to do our thing if the market is

We’re going to find some place to play.” For Jados, her latest music is taking “more of an electric direction, heavy rock with an electric infusion,” she said. She grew up in Lake Zurich influenced by her father’s Beatles records and putting on shows with her sister. She started her first band at age 16, her tastes leaning toward the “punk rock and metal bands” she enjoyed. “I prefer a rough edge to anything I do. To me, imperfection is perfection,” she said. On “American Idol” in 2011, she earned a golden ticket to Hollywood before being sent home. The next year on “The Voice,” she failed to turn any chairs in her audition and unfortunately did not advance. “It was a great experience, both of them, especially a learning experience for me,” she said. With numerous sponsors, vendors and volunteers, the McHenry festival raises money for donations given by the Rotary Club to nonprofit groups and scholarships throughout the year, event Co-Chair Kathy Pelz said. The addition of a new Sunset 5K run, slated for 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 3, at Petersen Park, represents a collaboration between the club and area high school students, who designed the graphics and logo for the runners’ T-shirts. “The kids are sort of benefitting their own future,” Pelz said. “They’re growing an event that is going to allow them a bigger pool of scholarship money to go after.” As for the music, she said, “We try to have a little bit of local talent, and we try to bring in some other headline names people will enjoy hearing.”

McHENRY COUNTY FAIR SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

Western Sky Band

AUG. 2

ROOTED IN FUN Bands, food, livestock shows celebrate county’s farming history By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com

ike many involved, Tom Linneman of Hebron has gone from showing sheep and pigs as a boy to helping plan the McHenry County Fair. Being a part of the festivities is as much a staple to the Linnemans as the fair is to the county. “It’s a family tradition,” said Linneman, who serves as treasurer on the fair’s board of directors. “It’s a great family bonding thing for us.” It’s the same for others throughout the area, whether they’re coming the the fair as part of their 4-H Clubs, to show off their skills in a talent contest, to enjoy the carnival or some music or take in the demolition derby or tractor pull. Through promotions on Facebook and elsewhere as well as new attractions, such as a Celebrity Look-Alike Contest and Motorcross races, organizers are hoping to garner more interest in this year’s fair than ever before.

McHENRY COUNTY FAIR WHEN: Through Aug. 4 WHERE: Route 47 and Country Club Road, Woodstock COST & INFO: Queen contest, tractor salute to veterans, KTM Motorcross, demolition derby, live bands, food and more. Information: www.mchenrycountyfair.com or 815-338-5315.

About 70,000 people attended the fair last year. Along with celebrating the county’s farming roots, organizers hope to draw crowds in with some of the area’s latest and most popular bands. Among those taking the stage this year are Modern Day Romeos, Suburban Cowboys, Voyage, Western Sky Band, the Georgia Rae Family Band and Dalton & Collins. As for 4-H fans, they’ll likely take notice of the new George Dahm Memorial Beef Barn, built and dedicated this year in honor of the late George

Dahm, a longtime fair volunteer. Because of the added space, the fair will include more beef entries this year, organizers say. “Then we have our fan favorite out here, our demolition derbies and tractor pulling,” Linneman said. And carnival riders might want to take advantage of wristband deals. A $15 wristband provides unlimited rides from 1 to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of the fair. Many have come to rely on the mainstays the fair has to offer, Linneman said, and its farming roots. Following in his grandfather’s footsteps, he was 8 years old when he first started showing at the fair. His oldest son looks forward to doing the same when he’s old enough in a few years, Linneman said. “It’s a great family event,” he said. “They can see many different animals at the fair and some great entertainment, whether it’s a live band or motorsports. There’s a wide variety for families from the very young to seniors.”

‘Smurfs 2’ smurfly unwarranted By JUSTIN LOWE The Hollywood Reporter ime flies when you’re not wondering about the welfare of the Smurfs, those diminutive, animated blueskinned forest-dwellers.

“The Smurfs 2”

HH 1/2

STARRING: Hank Azaria, Neil Patrick Harris PLOT: The Smurfs team up with their human friends to rescue Smurfette, who has been kidnapped by Gargamel since she knows a secret spell that can turn the evil sorcerer’s newest creation – creatures called the Naughties – into real Smurfs. RATED: PG for some rude humor and action TIME: 1 hour, 45 minutes ing summertime caregiving. The occasion of Smurfette’s (Katy Perry) birthday presents the opportunity for her to recall her conflicted origins – rather than a “true-blue” Smurf, she was actually created by the hapless, wannabe evil sorcerer Gargamel (Hank Azaria), who now intends to kidnap her from her enchanted-forest home to obtain the formula for the magical Smurf essence that Papa Smurf (Jonathan Winters) used to originally bestow her with blue-skinned bliss. Once he has the secret, Gargamel plans to power up a

host of Naughties, Smurf-sized creatures he’s created, to help him take over the world. So he dispatches his Naughty daughter Vexy (Christina Ricci) to drag Smurfette through a magic portal and into the real world where he can more effectively manipulate her inherent identity issues. Papa Smurf and his mismatched extraction team consisting of Grouchy (George Lopez), Clumsy (Anton Yelchin) and Vanity (John Oliver) will have to portal to the live-action world to reunite in Paris with the sympathetic young family of Patrick (Neil Patrick Harris) and Grace (Jayma Mays) Winslow, their liveaction counterparts from the original movie, if they’re to have any chance of rescuing Smurfette. Returning the movie to the European locale of the Belgian Smurfs comic-strip originator Pierre Culliford adds some visual interest, with Paris as the backdrop for the Smurfs’ rescue mission, but beyond the classic cityscapes, there’s little innovative in this formulaic follow-up.

Weiss, Jay Scherick and David Ronn, along with Karey Kirkpatrick (“Charlotte’s Web,” ‘’Chicken Run”), has no problem frequently repeating lines, gags and life lessons to near-numbing effect. Beyond a few chuckle-worthy one-liners and some amusing visual comedy, there’s not much to engage adults, although the wee ones should be distracted enough. In his final film role, Jonathan Winters reprises the beneficent Papa

Smurf with the requisite twinkle in his voice, but takes a backseat to Perry’s bewildered, wounded and ultimately outraged Smurfette. Harris and Mays, as the parents of a young boy appropriately named Blue (Jacob Tremblay), acquit themselves good-naturedly enough, although it’s Brendan Gleeson as Patrick’s well-intentioned but misunderstood stepfather, Victor Doyle, who really shines in an all-out turn that gleefully showcases his considerable

comic gifts. Azaria is equally antic as the incompetent wizard beset by the uneven, if unrelenting, team of Smurf rescuers featuring Lopez, Yelchin and Oliver. With the exception of Gargamel’s awkwardly rendered CGI cat cohort Azrael, the mix of animation and liveaction appears fairly seamless in a 3D rendition that helps keep the movie from slipping into the overly saccharine variation favored by the fully animated 1980s TV series.

GET TO KNOW: LOLLA PERFORMERS MATT AND KIM

hen you hear the name Matt and Kim, your first thoughts might be schlocky lounge act. But the high-energy pop music created by real-life couple Matt Johnson and Kim Schifino seems like it was made to get large festival crowds to work up a sweat. The duo will play Lollapalooza 3:45 p.m. Aug. 3 at Grant Park in Chicago. Johnson recently talked to Planit Pl@y about getting back out on the road after relaxing at the couple’s New York home.

– Rob Carroll rcarroll@shawmedia.com

You don’t hate me for making you work while you’re on vacation from touring do you? Not at all. We’ve been playing festivals most of the summer. These last couple weekends we’ve been in New York.

This isn’t your first time playing Lollapalooza. Can you talk about what it’s been like to play the festival in the past? This is our third year playing, which is a lot. I think the most of just about any band. The first year we actually played twice because CSS canceled. Back in ’07, it was the first festival we’d ever done. We were both so nervous. I remember it was also the earliest I had ever drank in my life because I was so nervous. ... People always ask what are the moments that stuck out. That 2007 show, looking out at the skyline, it was just endless. And they knew all of the songs, too.

You’ve played a lot of festivals. What is it like to just be two people on stage and looking out at a sea of people? I think you can catch moments, at times, when Kim and I are looking at each other (on stage). We’ve been doing this for nine years, closing in on 10. We’ve developed a language of speaking without talking, which is cool sharing with your significant other. ... Rolling Stone posted a short video of us (performing) in 2010. I remember

MATT AND KIM WHEN: 3:45 p.m. Aug. 3 WHERE: Grant Park, Chicago COST & INFO: www.lollapalooza.com watching that and looking at Kim and she was tearing up. It’s hard to grasp when you’re doing it.

Do you prefer playing a large, outdoor festival over a smaller, more intimate venue? There’s a different energy about both, but I like both of them. At outdoor festivals, you have people who have just heard your name and a friend says they should check us out. We like that challenge. ... In a club show, the environment, you sometimes have a room where everyone knows all of the songs.

When you and Kim started this project, what were your expectations? Initially, we weren’t even going to be a band. We were living together. She was a nanny, and I was in a punk band. She just wanted to learn how to play drums. I didn’t even play keyboard or sing. I played guitar and screamed in a band ... We started just kind of playing songs. We told a friend who played in a band, and he said “you’re going to open for us.” We struggled to come up with a name. ... We went, played three songs and were terrified. ... We were playing lofts and warehouses, and that’s where we thought it would go. Then that same friend said we should tour. ... We never had any expectations, which was great because there was no disappointment. We’ve just got to enjoy a lot of successes.

I’m sure you get asked this a lot. You two seem so happy on stage, don’t you guys get tired of being around each other 24 hours a day? Any relationship I’ve been in for the amount of time Kim and I spend together, we would have killed each other. I wouldn’t recommend it, but for us it works.

GONNA MISS LOLLAPALOOZA? Make It POP columnist Rob Carroll will be blogging from Lollapalooza all weekend. Check out the blog beginning Friday at PlanitNorthwest.com /blogs/makeitpop

CoNFLiCt REsOLuTIoN Suggestions to help with difficult Lolla schedule decisions FRIDAY

SATURDAY

Queens Of The Stone Age (6:15 to 7:30 p.m.) vs. New Order (6:15 to 7:25 p.m.) There are several things about Lollapalooza that can be expected each year. Just as predictable as the sighting of someone Queens of The Stone Age trying to climb into Buckingham Fountain is the festival’s scheduling of at least one act that will take the oldest attendees back to their hayday. This year it’s New Order. Sure, its tempting for those on the backside of 30 to want to hear “Bizarre Love Triangle” and “Blue Monday” played live one more time. But you’ll miss Queens Of The Stone Age, who are playing at almost the exact same time. Considering QOTSA take long hiatuses between albums and they put out one of the best rock albums this year, you should probably skip the nostalgia session. There will be time for that later in the weekend. Verdict: Queens Of The Stone Age

The National (6 to 7:15 p.m.) vs. Kendrick Lamar (6:45 to 7:45 p.m.) vs. Death Grips (7:15 to 8:15 p.m.) vs. The Lumineers (7:15 to 8:15 p.m.) Out of all the Kendrick scheduling Lamar conflicts during the weekend, this one is the worst. Your decision here really comes down to how you are feeling late in the day on Saturday. Do you want to chill in the shade and watch bummer rockers The National? Or will you still be full of energy and ready for Kendrick Lamar, one of the best rappers to make a major label debut in recent years? Then there’s the overlap with up-and-coming thrashers Death Grips and the mainstream folksiness of The Lumineers. The National’s act might be better suited for an indoor venue. If you’re willing to spend a little more cash, there are plenty of chances to see them in the midwest in the coming months. So maybe catch the beginning of their set before heading over to see Lamar. But stay toward the back of the crowd for an easy-out to make it to the second half of The Lumineers’ set. Verdict: Kendrick Lamar

Nine Inch Nails (8:15 to 10 p.m.) vs. Lana Del Ray (8:45 to 9:45 p.m.) vs. Steve Aoki (8:45 to 10 p.m.) vs. The Killers (8:25 to 10 p.m.) The end of the day at Lollapalooza used to be so much easier when there was only one or two acts closing out Trent Reznor of the night. Nine Inch Nails There’s a lot going on after 8 p.m. the first night of the three-day festival this year. You could try to catch all of these acts, but let’s face it, it’s a long weekend, and you need to conserve your energy. Nine Inch Nails’ performance will be their first in the U.S. in nearly four years. Plus, they’ve announced their new album is set to come out in September. Their return and the likelihood of hearing new material make them your best bet to close out the night. Should Nine Inch Nails seem a bit rusty after their layoff (highly unlikely for perfectionist Trent Reznor), then head over to see Lana Del Ray on one of the festival’s more intimate stages tucked back in the trees of Grant Park. Verdict: Nine Inch Nails

Mumford & Sons (8:15 to 10 p.m.) vs. The Postal Service (8:30 to 10 p.m.) vs. Azealia Banks (8:45 to 9:45 p.m.) It’s difficult to deny the appeal of seeing The Lumineers and Mumford & Sons back-to-back. That’s unless dudes playing Mumford & Sons Americana music on a guitar while stomping a bass drum pedal really aren’t your thing. At the opposite end of the park is The Postal Service, a musical supergroup making its return. The prospect of seeing them back together also has some appeal. But with one full-length album to their credit, 2003’s “Give Up,” does The Postal Service have enough artillery for a 90-minute headlining set? Then there’s rapper/singer Azealia Banks, who is known as much for her sometimes outlandish outfits and feuds with others in the industry as she is for her music. Banks is only given an hour to showcase her frantic music. Mumford & Sons will likely give you the most for your money at this time of the day. Verdict: Mumford & Sons

– Rob Carroll rcarroll@shawmedia.com

SUNDAY Vampire Weekend (6:30 to 7:45 p.m.) vs. Major Lazer (7 to 8:15 p.m.) Vampire Weekend’s music was made for parties, but mostly ones where Vampire Weekend you’d wear a collared shirt and bring a gift for the host. Major Lazer’s fusion of electronic and dancehall music was made for parties where your shirt would most likely be soaked in sweat and something at the host’s house would get broken from all your dancing. There’s a chance to catch some of both of their sets. Then again, Major Lazer is playing the often-packed Perry’s stage, an area of the festival with a much younger crowd that has likely been in the same spot dancing, raging and repeating all day. Show up late to the party, and you’re probably going to be stuck near the back of the crowd with no hopes of working your way to the front. By this point, it’s been a long weekend. You’re tired, but you’re not ready to pack it in quite yet. Sticking around for all of Vampire Weekend is your better option. Verdict: Vampire Weekend The Cure (8 to 10 p.m.) vs. Phoenix (8:30 to 10 p.m.) Remember that nostalgia you skipped out on by not seeing New Order on Friday? You have two hours to make up for it when The Cure takes the stage to close out the festival on Sunday. The gothic rock act The Cure has an expansive catlog that should adequately fill the bloated set time. But let’s not forget what happened when Phoenix played the Coachella music festival earlier this year. The French dance rockers were joined on stage by R. Kelly as the two acts busted out mash-up versions of their songs. Considering Phoenix is playing a headling set in the Pied Piper of R&B’s hometown, there’s a small chance for a repeat performance. Then again, Kelly just played the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago less than two weeks ago. Better let The Cure send you home. Verdict: The Cure

ROB CARROLL WITH MUSIC’S NEW RELEASES

Chance The Rapper “Acid Rap” HHHH

FEATURED RELEASE Robin Thicke

“Blurred Lines” HH 1/2 “Blurred Lines,” the sixth studio album from Robin Thicke, couldn’t have come out at a better time. Earlier this year, Justin Timberlake released “The 20/20 Experience,” an excellent album that may have turned off some longtime fans. Timberlake didn’t sound like himself on the release, but it was for the better. Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” picks up the slack for those not exactly thrilled with J.T.’s latest effort. On the album, Thicke dials up the pop while turning down the adult contemporary. It closely follows Timberlake’s blueprint prior to “The 20/20 Experience.” By now, you’ve surely heard the album’s title track. “Blurred Lines” is the frontrunner for song of the summer of 2013. The distinction is well-deserved due to the song’s bouncy beat and catchy lyrics. And it’s all tied together with Thicke’s sultry and soulful voice. Sound familiar, Timberlake fans? None of the rest of “Blurred Lines” quite matches the pop perfection of its title track, which leads off the album. “Give It 2 U” wastes a cameo by go-to guest rapper of the moment Kendrick Lamar while featuring sexed-up lyrics that can’t be printed here. Thicke’s got game on this album when it comes to the ladies, but sometimes he tends to take it a little too far. The same guy who wants to “cuddle you” on “Feel Good” also wants to “shop for your underwear” on “Take It Easy On Me.” The latter sounds the closest to Timberlake’s music as Thicke worked on the track with longtime J.T. producer Timbaland. “Blurred Lines” has its faults, mostly when Thicke tries to push the boundaries. Luckily, there are enough times where he’s dialed-in to make a nice bridge until Timberlake’s next album drops in late-September. OUT THIS WEEK Backstreet Boys, “In a World Like This”; Chimaira, “Crown of Phantoms”; Emblem3, “Nothing to Lose”; Five Finger Death Punch, “The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell Volume 1”; Michael Franti & Spearhead, “All People”; Gas House Gorillas, “Punk Americana”; Vince Gill & Paul Franklin, “Bakersfield”; Buddy Guy, “Rhythm & Blues”; Heaven, “Telepathic Love”; Jennifer Holliday, “Love Me By

At just 20 years old, Chancelor Bennett, better known as Chance The Rapper, has developed an appreciation for music that’s well beyond others his age. On his latest mix tape, “Acid Rap,” the Chicago artist cycles through elements of several musical genres while keeping a sturdy backbone of rap and jazz. A blend of rap and jazz sounds shaky at best, but Chance rarely falters on “Acid Rap.” The feat is even more amazing when you consider all of the other influences he invites into his music. Having fellow Chicago native Twista rap on the soulful “Cocoa Butter Kisses” shouldn’t work either, but it does. The quick-tongued rapper’s appearance on the song is one of several nods to the Chicago music scene made by Chance The Rapper on this album. Even through his name would lead you to think differently, Chance is so much more than a rapper. He clearly has a great understanding of where he comes from, both in welcoming the influences from his city’s music and addressing its streak of violence on such songs as “Pusha Man/Paranoia.” “Somebody get Katie Couric in here” Chance demands on the song while trying to draw attention to Chicago’s high murder rate. He’s a great storyteller, allowing his words to do the talking instead of using out-of-control emotions. Chance sounds as much at ease rapping about bringing guns to a rumble on “Juice” as he does when he reveals, “I miss my diagonal grilled cheeses” on the title track. “Acid Rap” doesn’t make light of a bad situation. It just shows some good came come from all of the bad. The mixtape is available as a free download at www.chanceraps.com. RATINGS HHHH - Excellent HHH - Recommended HH - Not recommended H - Awful
