A view of the restored Rose Garden is seen at the White House in Washington, Saturday, Aug. 22, 2020. First Lady Melania Trump will deliver her Republican National Convention speech Tuesday night from the garden, famous for its close proximity to the Oval Office. The three weeks of work on the garden, which was done in the spirit of its original 1962 design, were showcased to reporters on Saturday.

Trump is looking to shift his campaign away from being a referendum on a presidency ravaged by a pandemic and economic collapse and toward a choice between vastly different visions of America's future.

Years in the making, construction on a pedestrian connection from Arlington Heights into the Buffalo Creek Forest Preserve in Lake County is scheduled to begin any day now, providing a 500-foot link to the forest preserve's expansive trail network.
The project has faced delays amid high bids and back-and-forth among local governments about who should pay for it. At the same time, forest preserve users have advocated for a connection that would link the north side of Lake-Cook Road near Wilke Road with the trail system, and in the absence of one, they created an unofficial route or "goat trail" to get them there.
Arlington Heights officials, who are taking the lead on the project, got word last fall from the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning that the proposed upgrades got approved for $198,300 in federal funds under the Transportation Alternatives Program. The village and Cook County are each contributing $33,717 to cover the remainder of the $265,735 cost.
The village received federal funds in 2008, but bids were well above estimates and the project was withdrawn.
Briget Schwab, Arlington Heights' project engineer, said the difference this time is that funding was secured from multiple sources, and the plans slightly revised.
The low bid, submitted by Schaumburg-based A Lamp Concrete Contractors, was accepted by the Illinois Department of Transportation in June and approved by the Arlington Heights village board last week, which allows for construction to proceed.
The 8-foot-wide gravel path will be built from Lake-Cook Road to the existing four-mile network of crushed-gravel trails within the 408-acre preserve. Another 1.2 miles of trail is already under construction.
Planned improvements also include painted crosswalks across Wilke Road and across Lake-Cook Road just east of the intersection; related push button signals and accessible ramps; and the associated modification of the traffic signal.

dailyheraldchicago--2020-08-23--'Party house' leads Naperville to ban short-term rentals -- for now

Loud music , large crowds and late-night chaos coming from a house on Santa Maria Drive in Naperville have prompted repeated complaints from nearby residents concerned about the safety and tranquility of their neighborhood .
The vacant house has been used for several months as a `` poorly operated '' short-term rental unit , Mayor Steve Chirico said , frequently leased out for parties and events described as disruptive and occasionally volatile .

dailyheraldchicago--2020-08-24--Protest erupts after Wisconsin police shoot man from behind

KENOSHA , Wis. -- Officers deployed tear gas early Monday to disperse hundreds of people who took to the streets following a police shooting in Kenosha that also drew a harsh rebuke from the governor after a video posted on social media appeared to show officers shoot at a Black man 's back seven times as he leaned into a vehicle .

Police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the shooting , but said the person was transported to a hospital in Milwaukee for treatment .
By late Sunday , multiple vehicle fires had been set and windows smashed along city thoroughfares as crowds faced off with law enforcement .

Tear gas was used to disperse groups of people , according to reporters at the scene .
In the video posted earlier @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the shooting from across a street , three officers could be seen shouting and pointing their weapons at the man as he walked around the front of a parked SUV .
As the man opened the driver 's side door and leaned inside , one officer grabbed his shirt from behind and then fired into the vehicle .

Kenosha protesters, police clash again after Black man shot
KENOSHA, Wis. -- Anger over the shooting of a Black man by police spilled into the streets of Kenosha for a second night Monday, with police again firing tear gas at hundreds of protesters who defied a curfew, threw bottles and shot fireworks at law enforcement guarding the courthouse.
The southeastern Wisconsin city became the nation's latest flashpoint in a summer of racial unrest after cellphone footage of police shooting Jacob Blake -- apparently in the back, as he leaned into his SUV while his three children sat in the vehicle -- circulated widely on social media Sunday. The 29-year-old was hospitalized in serious condition.
The shooting drew condemnation from Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, who also called out 125 members of the National Guard on Monday after protesters set cars on fire, smashed windows and clashed with officers in riot gear the previous night.
Police first fired tear gas Monday about 30 minutes after the 8 p.m. curfew took effect to disperse protesters who chanted, "No justice, no peace" as they confronted a line of officers who wore protective gear and stood shoulder-to-shoulder in front of the courthouse entrance. But hundreds of people stuck around, screaming at police and lighting fires, including to a garbage truck near the courthouse.
Tensions had flared anew earlier Monday after a news conference with Kenosha Mayor John Antarmian, originally to be held in a park, was moved inside the city's public safety building. Hundreds of protesters rushed to the building and a door was snapped off its hinges before police in riot gear pepper-sprayed the crowd, which included a photographer from The Associated Press.
Police in the former auto manufacturing center of 100,000 people midway between Milwaukee and Chicago said they were responding to a call about a domestic dispute when they encountered Blake on Sunday. They did not say whether Blake was armed or why police opened fire, they released no details on the dispute, and they did not immediately disclose the race of the three officers at the scene.
The man who said he made the cellphone video, 22-year-old Raysean White, said he saw Blake scuffling with three officers and heard them yell, "Drop the knife! Drop the knife!" before the gunfire erupted. He said he didn't see a knife in Blake's hands.
The governor said he has seen no information to suggest Blake had a knife or other weapon, but that the case is still being investigated by the state Justice Department.
The officers were placed on administrative leave, standard practice in a shooting by police. Authorities released no details about the officers and did not immediately respond to requests for their service records.
Evers was quick to condemn the bloodshed, saying that while not all details were known, "what we know for certain is that he is not the first Black man or person to have been shot or injured or mercilessly killed at the hands of individuals in law enforcement in our state or our country."
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said the officers "must be held accountable."
"This morning, the nation wakes up yet again with grief and outrage that yet another Black American is a victim of excessive force," he said, just over two months before Election Day in a country already roiled by the recent deaths of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta and Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky. "Those shots pierce the soul of our nation."
Republicans and the police union accused the politicians of rushing to judgment, reflecting the deep partisan divide in Wisconsin, a key presidential battleground state. Wisconsin GOP members also decried the violent protests, echoing the law-and-order theme that President Donald Trump has been using in his reelection campaign.
"As always, the video currently circulating does not capture all the intricacies of a highly dynamic incident," Pete Deates, president of the Kenosha police union, said in a statement. He called the governor's statement "wholly irresponsible."
The shooting happened around 5 p.m. Sunday and was captured from across the street on the video posted online. Kenosha police do not have body cameras but do have body microphones.
In the footage, Blake walks from the sidewalk around the front of his SUV to his driver-side door as officers follow him with their guns pointed and shout at him. As Blake opens the door and leans into the SUV, an officer grabs his shirt from behind and opens fire while Blake has his back turned. Seven shots can be heard, though it isn't clear how many struck Blake or how many officers fired.
White, who said he made the video, said that before the gunfire, he looked out his window and saw six or seven women shouting at each other on the sidewalk. A few moments later, Blake drove up in his SUV and told his son, who was standing nearby, to get in the vehicle, according to White. White said Blake did not say anything to the women.
White said he left the window for a few minutes, and when he came back, saw three officers wrestling with Blake. One punched Blake in the ribs, and another used a stun gun on him, White said. He said Blake got free and started walking away as officers yelled about a knife.
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, representing Blake's family, said Blake was "simply trying to do the right thing by intervening in a domestic incident."
Police did not immediately confirm either man's account.
Blake's partner, Laquisha Booker, told NBC's Milwaukee affiliate, WTMJ-TV, that the couple's three children were in the back seat of the SUV when police shot him.
"That man just literally grabbed him by his shirt and looked the other way and was just shooting him. With the kids in the back screaming. Screaming," Booker said.
Blake's grandfather, Jacob Blake Sr., was a prominent minister and civil rights leader in the Chicago area who helped organize a march and spoke in support of a comprehensive housing law in Evanston, Illinois, days after the 1968 slaying of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
Rachel Noerdlinger, publicist for the National Action Network, told The Associated Press that the Rev. Al Sharpton spoke Monday to Blake's father, who called the civil rights leader for his support. Blake's father will speak at Sharpton's March on Washington commemoration on Friday, Noerdlinger said.
Karissa Lewis, national field director of Movement for Black Lives, a coalition of more than 150 Black-led organizations that make up the broader Black Lives Matter movement, said the shooting was yet another example of why activists have called for defunding police departments.
"There's no amount of training or reform that can teach a police officer that it's wrong to shoot a Black man in the back seven times while his children watch," Lewis said in a statement first shared with the AP.
Online court records indicate Kenosha County prosecutors charged Blake on July 6 with sexual assault, trespassing and disorderly conduct in connection with domestic abuse. An arrest warrant was issued the following day. The records contain no further details and do not list an attorney for Blake.
It was unclear whether that case had anything to do with the shooting.
Crump, who has also represented the Floyd and Taylor families, said Blake's family has asked that demonstrations in response to his shooting remain peaceful.
"They don't believe violence to be the solution," he said.
For more than 100 years, Kenosha was an auto manufacturing center, but it has now largely been transformed into a bedroom community for Milwaukee and Chicago. The city is about 67% white, 11.5% Black and 17.6% Hispanic, according to 2019 census data. Both the mayor and police chief are white. About 17% of the population lives in poverty.
Webber reported from Fenton, Michigan. Associated Press reporters Scott Bauer and Todd Richmond in Madison, Wisconsin, Jeff Baenen in Minneapolis, Aaron Morrison in New York City and Mike Householder in Kenosha contributed.

An analysis of the company's workforce will determine "a limited number of strategic staff reductions," Wright said, although none will involve reporters, editors, visual journalists or other content curators and producers in the newsroom.
"Economic stresses on the pre-COVID business model require us to more deliberately think about our future and the type of media company we will need to be to continue to educate and inform our readers -- but also to grow," she said.

Powered by (who else?) Jose Abreu, the White Sox came out slugging again Sunday at Wrigley Field.
The Sox's offense resembled a stacked softball lineup in the first two weekend games against the Cubs, both wins.
When Abreu led off the second inning with a home run off Yu Darvish, it looked like another explosive day was coming for the hottest team in baseball.
That softball style soon switched to grind-it-out baseball, and the White Sox came up a little short in a 2-1 loss.
Abreu's 449-foot early blast was his fourth home run in as many at-bats, which tied a major-league record. Darvish settled down after that, and Cubs relief pitcher Jeremy Jeffress nailed down a tough save when he got Yoan Moncada to ground out with the bases loaded to end the game.
"I would rather have the win today," Abreu said through a translator. "We battled. We did our best and we just came up short. It was a good game. I'm happy for what I did but it's a little bittersweet because we didn't get the win today."
The Sox scored 18 runs while winning two of three from the Cubs, and they all came on homers.
Abreu hit 6 home runs at Wrigley, the most ever by a White Sox player in a three-game series.
"You see a guy locked in like that, making some good swings, all of his at-bats were pretty good swings," manager Rick Renteria said. "It's special to watch because when you see a hitter locked in, there is nothing like it. This guy is diligent in his work, preparation, as he goes about his business.
"He is even-keeled every single day. He wants to give you what he has. He is one of the most underrated guys in Chicago. He shouldn't be. He has earned it. He earns everything he gets."
The Sox are trying to earn respect and show they've become a team to be reckoned with. A sweep of the Cubs would have greatly helped those causes, but winning the series while hitting 12 home runs made for an acceptable weekend.
"I felt like we were in it, in every pitch," said White Sox starting pitcher Dylan Cease, who allowed 2 runs in 6 innings. "I think we're a team that needs to be taken serious and I think they're a great team, too. It's one of those series where we had two big teams clash with each other and it was a lot of fun to watch."
Darvish is back to being an elite major-league starter, and he kept the Sox's big bats mostly quiet while striking out 10 over 7 innings.
"Everybody knows he's a good pitcher," Abreu said. "He has a lot of experience with very good pitches. He came to us as we were expecting, just executing and doing the things that he does. He had a very good game plan and he executed.
"I think we have to tip our cap to him, but we also have to recognize the work Cease did. I think Dylan threw a pretty good game, just one mistake. It was a homer. That happens in baseball."

From the beginning of the pandemic, UrbanStreet Group Managing Partner Bob Burk emphasized that the project at the southwest corner of Algonquin and Meacham roads is planned for the long-term market, and nothing in the past few months has caused him to second-guess its goals.
"We can't stress enough that our business model is long-term," Burk said. "Real estate is not a short-term investment. We never anticipated this (pandemic), but you have to anticipate having issues.

The fact that the Element and Boler Co. projects remained on schedule and Topgolf reopened are as much as could be asked for amid the pandemic, Burk said.
"Anything that is actually open is impactful," he added.
Burk had particular praise for the efforts of Topgolf.
"I admire them," he said. "They stayed with it. They're set up for it as you're partially outside."
But every partner -- including the village of Schaumburg's development of the park -- is playing a role in achieving the ambitions of the project, Burk said.

D.R. Horton already is marketing its row home units and the first buildings should be visible by the end of the year, Burk said. Meanwhile, Florida-based Harbor Retirement Development is shoring up the financing for its planned four-story, 110-unit assisted-living and memory-care facility.
Master developer UrbanStreet Group has offices in Motorola's former credit union and welcome center on the property. But those buildings are expected to be taken over by the village of Schaumburg in a few years, after an assessment of what kind of municipal and public safety services may be needed there.
On Tuesday, the village board will consider approval of a number of monument signs on the Veridian Development branding its new identity.

Symptom checks and temperature scans joined new classes and meetups with old friends as essential elements of the first day of school Monday at St. Viator High School in Arlington Heights .
Nearly all of the school 's 837 students chose in-person learning this fall as St. Viator became one of just a few Northwest suburban schools -- most of them private -- to offer that option .

`` We feel that this format allows for the best in-classroom opportunity while minimizing movement throughout the building and student-to-student contact , '' St. Viator President Brian Liedlich said .
Before entering the building each day , students must complete a symptom checker through an emailed link .
Their temperature then is checked at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ controlled through directional markings .
Everyone in the building must wear a mask at all times , except when eating lunch .
Students are assigned a seat in all classes and in the lunchroom , where preordered box lunches are provided .
The decision to return to in-person learning was based on the recommendation of a 21-person task force of administrators , faculty , parents and alumni and was reviewed by a series of medical professionals , school officials said .
Liedlich cautioned that directives from Gov .
J.B. Pritzker , various government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could force changes at any time .
A hybrid learning schedule is ready to be used if necessary , he said .
Elsewhere in Arlington Heights , in-person classes also were back in session Monday at Our Lady of the Wayside School .
Like at St. Viator , Wayside students were met at the doors with temperature checks and masks were required .

8 p.m.
The first speaker to take the Republican National Convention's podium on Monday's opening night of prime-time programming was Charlie Kirk, a 26-year-old Wheeling native who leads the conservative student organization Turning Point USA. Kirk began his remarks by warning his fellow young people that this year's election is "a decision between preserving America as we know it and eliminating everything that we love."
Kirk said lawmakers on both sides had, for decades, "sold out our future to China, to faceless corporations, and to self-serving lobbyists" to preserve power while "rigging the system" against the middle class.
Calling President Donald Trump "the bodyguard of Western civilization," Kirk said he was elected in 2016 to "protect our families from the vengeful mob that seeks to destroy our way of life, our neighborhoods, schools, churches, and values."
Kirk called the upcoming election the "most critical" since 1860, when Abraham Lincoln was elected.
7:15 p.m.
Joe Biden and his Democratic Party used their convention last week to argue that the underpinnings of American Democracy hang in the balance this November. This week, it's President Donald Trump's turn.
The Republican National Convention opening night's speakers tonight include some of the president's staunchest supporters, such as Reps. Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz; Charlie Kirk of Wheeling, the president of the pro-Trump organization Turning Point USA; the president's son Donald Trump Jr. and his girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is also the campaign's national finance chair.
Others include House Republican Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana, Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel and former Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell. Also speaking: Tanya Weinreis, a Montana coffee shop owner who received federal loans to pay her employees during the coronavirus; Andrew Pollack, whose daughter was killed in the 2018 school shooting in Parkland, Florida; and Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St. Louis couple who waved firearms at Black Lives Matter protesters outside their home this summer.
Republicans have already renominated the president and highlighted four years of the Trump administration and promises he delivered on, such as overturning business regulations, pulling out of international agreements, appointing two U.S. Supreme Court justices and transforming the U.S. immigration system.
While Democrats held an entirely virtual convention, pulled off without any major technical mishaps, the Republicans are holding a pared-down version of an in-person gathering on Monday in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The convention was originally scheduled to be held in Charlotte until Trump moved it to Jacksonville, Florida, with the hope the Republican-led state would allow thousands to attend. But Trump had to scrap that plan as coronavirus cases continued to climb.
What to watch at the convention:
RENOMINATION AND THE PLATFORM
The GOP planned for six delegates from each state and territory, for a total of 336, to attend in-person proceedings for the convention's first day in Charlotte. They held a roll-call vote to renominate the president, but unlike the Democrats, it wasn't be a prime-time affair. A recap will be shown during the evening's programming. Delegates will also vote on several resolutions, including measures defending October's Columbus Day holiday, which honors the polarizing 15th-century explorer, and opposing "cancel culture."
TRUMP'S MESSAGE
Trump gives a formal acceptance speech Thursday night from the South Lawn, but he's expected to make an appearance every night in the 10 p.m. Eastern hour. It's unclear to what extent he'll make remarks, but Monday's theme, "Land of Promise," highlights how Republicans say Trump helped renew the American dream. Speakers are likely to renew Trump's focus from last week drawing contrasts with his Democratic opponent and portraying Biden as an ineffective career politician and a "puppet of the radical left," aligning him with progressives like New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. While Democrats repeatedly mentioned the impact of the virus and hammered Trump's response to it, expect Republicans to defend the president on the issue but feature it less prominently.
HINTS FOR 2024
Republicans seen as potential 2024 presidential candidates are sprinkled throughout the week's proceedings. On Monday, two potential contenders from the Palmetto State will get their chance in the spotlight: Former Ambassador to the U.N. and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, followed by South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, who is set to give the prominent closing speech.
THE BASE AND BACKERS
Democrats tried to show a united, diverse base and featured Republicans backing Biden. Trump has thus far focused more on his loyal base than expanding his coalition. Monday's lineup mostly stays in that vein.
After Democrats pointedly included Republicans during their convention, Republicans have one from the other party slated to speak Monday: Vernon Jones, a Democratic state lawmaker from Georgia who announced in April he was breaking with his party and endorsing Trump. Jones initially announced he was resigning from office after his endorsement but changed his mind, deciding to serve out his term.
WHO WON'T BE THERE
The Democratic convention featured every living Democratic president and the party's 2004 presidential nominee, John Kerry. The Republican Party, transformed under Trump, is not expected to feature at its convention the only living GOP ex-president, President George W. Bush, or the party's 2012 nominee. Mitt Romney. Neither man voted for Trump in 2016 or has endorsed him this year.
HOW TO WATCH
The daytime business of the GOP delegates will be available starting at 8 a.m. on the GOP convention's social media channels and AT&T U-VERSE, Direct TV, Twitch, Youtube and Amazon Prime TV. The convention will continue streaming at those places when the prime-time programming starts at 7:30 p.m. (a half-hour earlier than the DNC convention) and runs through 10 p.m. CNN, C-SPAN, MSNBC and PBS will air the full prime-time presentation while ABC, CBS, Fox News Channel and NBC will air the final hour, from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m.

The Democratic nominee for a DuPage County Board seat has ended her campaign , leaving party leaders scrambling to appoint a replacement candidate to her spot on the November ballot .
Hadiya Afzal , a recent college graduate at the center of a social media controversy that even drew reaction from Texas Sen. Ted Cruz , last month announced her intention to bow out of the board 's District 4 race .
But Afzal did n't formally withdraw until Monday afternoon , just days before the deadline for candidates to remove their names from the ballot .
`` It makes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ someone , but at this point , we 're still able to do it , '' party Chairwoman Cynthia Borbas said .
Democratic precinct committeemen in District 4 will vote to select Afzal 's replacement Tuesday night .
The party will submit their choice to the clerk 's office on Wednesday morning , Borbas said .
Afzal narrowly won a five-way primary race for the chance to challenge incumbent Republican Tim Elliott of Glen Ellyn .
District 4 includes all or parts of Addison , Bloomingdale , Carol Stream , Glen Ellyn , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wheaton and Winfield .
On Monday , the primary 's runner-up , Lynn LaPlante , said she wants to face Elliott in November .
`` I believe we should listen to the voters , who have already spoken , '' LaPlante said in a written statement .
`` I was the next highest vote-getter in the March primary , with a razor-thin margin that actually made our race too close to call for a few weeks .
That is the fair and equitable thing to do , and shows the democratic process in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ followed by LaPlante , a Glen Ellyn violist , with 4,399 votes .
LaPlante said she 's the most qualified candidate for the position and that she 's prepared to run against Elliott .
`` I am ready to start campaigning immediately , and have much support behind me , as well as all the necessary infrastructure in place , '' LaPlante said .

Ted Cruz, last month announced her intention to bow out of the board's District 4 race. But Afzal didn't formally withdraw until Monday afternoon, just days before the deadline for candidates to remove their names from the ballot.

Democratic precinct committeemen in District 4 will vote to select Afzal's replacement Tuesday night. The party will submit their choice to the clerk's office on Wednesday morning, Borbas said.
Afzal narrowly won a five-way primary race for the chance to challenge incumbent Republican Tim Elliott of Glen Ellyn. District 4 includes all or parts of Addison, Bloomingdale, Carol Stream, Glen Ellyn, Glendale Heights, Lisle, Lombard, Wheaton and Winfield.
On Monday, the primary's runner-up, Lynn LaPlante, said she wants to face Elliott in November.

"I was the next highest vote-getter in the March primary, with a razor-thin margin that actually made our race too close to call for a few weeks. That is the fair and equitable thing to do, and shows the democratic process in action."
Afzal had 4,447 votes followed by LaPlante, a Glen Ellyn violist, with 4,399 votes. LaPlante said she's the most qualified candidate for the position and that she's prepared to run against Elliott.
"I am ready to start campaigning immediately, and have much support behind me, as well as all the necessary infrastructure in place," LaPlante said.
