Around the holidays, Glenn Chelius and his wife may pour a small glass of wine for their three children as a way for them to join in the festivities.

Introducing the 16-year-old girl and 14- and 12-year-old boys to something that could become an influence on their lives later on is a teaching tool the Crystal Lake couple hope will pay off.

“I’d rather control it in my house than have it be a real mystery to my children and then they go off and abuse it somewhere else,” Chelius said.

“It’s tricky, but we have to be clear with what we are trying to do as parents because underage drinking is a reality.”

Chelius educates his children about the potential dangers and legalities involved with underage drinking, often setting aside time with each child individually or planning activities outside the home as

an informal setting to discuss real-life situations.

“It’s scary and frightening,” Chelius said. “It’s about keeping the lines of communication open, because its easier to build trust if we all know what

is going on.”

Despite a significant drop in citations issued in McHenry County for underage possession and consumption of alcohol, underage drinking still exists, area law enforcement officials agree. The problem is being tackled countywide through collaborative education and enforcement efforts.

Five McHenry County communities have seen a 32 percent decrease in citations issued for either underage consumption or possession of alcohol between 2008 and 2012, data shows. Crystal Lake, Woodstock, McHenry, Huntley and Algonquin combined to issue 272 citations last year, down from 400 in 2008.

A McHenry County crash is being used to illustrate the need for new safety measures and a law aimed at ending leniency for crashes that involve the death of another.

“Patricia’s Law” was named for Patricia McNamara, who was killed in October 2011 after a distracted driver ran a stop sign at Harmony Road and Route 20.

The crash in Coral Township killed the 50-year-old Rockford woman.

The driver, Kenneth G. Englert, 55, of Rochelle, got a traffic citation for failure to obey a stop sign. He told McHenry County Sheriff’s deputies that he was distracted by his cellphone, according to the crash report. He wasn’t texting, but had just made a phone call.

Englert was given 120 days of court supervision, a $551 fine, and ordered to take a four-hour traffic safety class.

By opting for court supervision on a traffic offense, it means that the conviction won’t appear on one’s driving record.

The new law prohibits a court from granting supervision to anyone charged as the result of a fatal accident if that driver has had a prior court supervision.

Gov. Pat Quinn signed Patricia’s Law last week. He cited McNamara’s crash as an example of a loophole he wanted to close. The measure had full support from Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White.

“These new laws will make our roads safer for drivers and passengers by keeping more distracted and dangerous drivers from getting behind the wheel.”

Post-Benghazi, President Obama plays it safe with embassies

By BRADLEY KLAPPER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama seems determined to make sure he doesn’t have another Benghazi.

Pilloried by Republicans in Congress for its handling of last year’s attack, his admin-

istration is responding with extra caution now that intelligence suggests a possible al-Qaida strike is in the works.

Even as the threat may be subsiding, U.S. officials say they are taking no risks less than a year after militants killed four Americans in the eastern Libyan city and with

Republicans poised to pounce on any misstep.

After closing 19 diplomatic posts across the Muslim world for almost a week, the United States added to the global uneasiness Friday.

It ordered nonessential staff out of Lahore, Pakistan, and warned Americans to

avoid traveling to the country.

The action appeared unrelated to the al-Qaida threat stemming from Yemen, but mirrored a missive earlier in the week to U.S. embassy staffers in that country.

The stated reason for all the recent security measures: “An overabundance of caution.”

Come Sunday, all but one of the 19 embassies and consulates will reopen, the State Department announced late Friday. The exception: the U.S. Embassy in Sanaa, Yemen. In addition, the consulate in Lahore was to remain closed. A department spokeswoman did not cite a reason for the deci-

sion to reopen the 18 missions.

Obama said at a White House news conference Friday afternoon that al-Qaida’s core has been decimated by U.S. counterterrorism efforts such as the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden in his

Northwest Herald Web Poll Question

GENERAL INFORMATION: 815-459-4040

D-155 in the wrong on bleacher issue CRYSTAL LAKE – There’s an old cliché that it’s better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

That’s the first thing that came to mind when I learned about the dispute between the city of Crystal Lake along with some of its residents and School District 155 over construction being done on Crystal Lake South High School’s football stadium.

The school tore down its old bleachers and press box this summer, and moved the home bleachers from the east side of the football stadium to the west side.

The west side of the stadium backs into the Amberwood Drive neighborhood, where the new bleachers now tower over several homes.

Residents have complained to the city about the height of the bleachers and the fact that they were moved too close to their backyard property line. They worry that the changes will significantly reduce their property values.

Residents also are upset that the school did not warn them this was coming. They say they didn’t realize the size and scope of the project until the new bleachers began to rise high above their homes.

City of Crystal Lake officials also say that the school district did not come to them about this project, even though several zoning variances were needed and the district had come to the

VIEWS Dan McCaleb city dozens of times in the past about new projects.

According to the city, the new stadium is in violation of three city zoning codes: • The back of the bleachers sit just 41 feet from homeowner’s property when it should be 50 feet or more.

• The new bleachers are greater than 600 square feet, which requires a zoning variance under city code. The district neither received nor sought such a variance.

• The press box and the top of the bleachers are too tall, and the district needs a height variance from the city, which it also did not seek or receive.

I live just a couple of blocks from the high school, and when I stopped by on Friday, I could see why Amberwood Drive residents aren’t happy. The new bleachers dominate the landscape, and butt up right against a number of their backyards.

The school district maintains that it doesn’t need the city’s permission for its construction projects. It says it needs the approval of only the Regional Office of Education. The city disagrees, and has threatened to file suit.

Taxpayers certainly don’t want a

10 years after blackout, U.S. grid faces new threats The ASSOCIATED PRESS The U.S. electrical grid is better managed and more flexible a decade after its largest blackout but remains vulnerable to increasingly extreme weather, cybersecurity threats, and stress caused by shifts in where and how power is produced.

Many worry the grid isn’t fully prepared for the new and emerging challenges, even though an analysis conducted for The Associated Press shows maintenance spending has steadily increased since North America’s largest blackout.

“This job of reliability is kind of impossible, in the sense that there’s just so many things that could happen that it’s hard to be sure that you’re covering all the bases,” said William Booth, a senior electricity adviser with the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

The industry has mostly addressed the failures blamed on a tree branch in Ohio that touched a power line and set off outages that cascaded across eight states and parts of Canada the afternoon of Aug. 14, 2003, darkening computer screens, halting commuter trains, and cutting lights and air conditioners for 50 million people. Grid operators who didn’t initially realize what was happening now have a nearly real-time view of the system and are better equipped to stop problems from growing. Utilities share more information and systematically trim trees near high-voltage power lines.

Electricity customers have been giving the grid a bit of breathing room. Power demand has remained flat or even fallen in recent years as lighting, devices, appliances,

The city of Cleveland sits in the dark Aug. 14, 2003, except for emergency lights in the Federal Courthouse (left) and the SBC building (far right) after a massive power outage struck the eastern United States and parts of Canada. homes and businesses have gotten more efficient and economic growth has been sluggish. All that reduces stress on the grid.

At the same time, aging coal and nuclear plants are shutting down in the face of higher maintenance costs, pollution restrictions and competition from cheap natural gas. Renewable generation such as wind turbines and solar panels is being installed, adding power that’s difficult to plan for and manage.

Temperatures and storms are getting more extreme, according to federal data, and that increases stress on the grid by creating spikes in demand or knocking out lines or power plants. Some regulators and policymakers are increasingly worried about cyberattacks that could target systems that manage power plants or grids.

“The grid that exists today wasn’t designed for what everybody wants to do with it,” says Joe Welch, CEO of ITC Holdings Corp., the largest independent transmission company in the U.S. The electric power industry did respond directly to the issues that sparked the blackout. An analysis of spending on maintenance and transmission equipment by more than 200 utilities nationwide conducted for the AP by Ventyx, a software and data services firm that works with electric utilities, shows that spending rose sharply in the years after the blackout.

Maintenance spending for overhead lines increased an average of 8.2 percent per year from 2003 to 2012. In the period before the blackout, from 1994 to 2003, that spending grew 3 percent on average per year.

equipment also increased.

From 2003 to 2012, utilities spent an average of $21,514 per year on devices and station equipment per mile of transmission line. From 1994 to 2003, spending averaged $7,185 per year.

The number of miles of transmission line remained roughly the same, suggesting new money was mostly spent on equipment to make the existing system stronger and more responsive, according to Ventyx analyst Chris Tornow.

Those higher transmission costs have trickled down to customer bills, but they’ve been largely offset by lower electricity prices, thanks to cheap natural gas. Since 2003, average residential power prices have risen an average of 0.85 percent per year, adjusted for inflation, according to the Energy Information Administration.

Which side are you on in the dispute over the stadium expansion?

legal dispute between one public body and another. We’re the ones who get stuck with the bill when that happens.

But I also see the city’s point of view here. It needs to defend the best interests of its residents and protect the integrity of its zoning requirements.

If the district wanted to build a huge chicken coop where the bleachers now stand, would the neighbors and city have no recourse?

Unfortunately, the law seems murky on this issue. Our reporters have received conflicting information, with many sources saying it’s a gray area in Illinois code.

Legalities aside, the right thing for the school district to do would have been to go to the residents and the city with its plans so the project could be properly vetted.

Now the school district wants to meet with residents on Monday, after the stadium is all but complete.

That seems too little, too late to me.

But I guess in the school district’s mind, it’s better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

New hunting legislation could help Illinois combat poaching The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Terry Donaldson walks past West Pullman Elementary School on Tuesday in Chicago. West Pullman is one of 50 Chicago schools that closed in the spring as part of aggressive cost cutting that calls for the single largest closing of schools in any American city in years.

School closings in Chicago worry poor neighborhoods

By DON BABWIN The Associated Press CHICAGO – To Carolyn Lang, West Pullman Elementary is more than the school across the street her children attended a quarter-century ago.

It’s where she turned for help when the lock on her front door froze and where school workers watch from their windows to make sure she doesn’t fall victim to crime in an impoverished corner of the city wracked by violence, including two men found shot to death in a car just days ago.

But no more. West Pullman is one of nearly 50 Chicago schools the city closed last spring as part of aggressive cost cutting that calls for the single largest closing of schools in any American city in years.

Critics of the closures have protested that children will be forced to cross gang boundaries to get to new schools.

Largely overlooked are the worries of thousands of people

like Lang who have relied on the schools to help safeguard poor neighborhoods. Soon, many of those buildings will go as dark and quiet as the boarded-up houses that dot their struggling communities.

“I used to come home late from prayer meetings at my church, and just seeing the light on and knowing the engineers and the janitors were working, I felt safe because they were there,” said Lang, 58. “Now it won’t be a safe haven anymore.”

What will happen to Pullman and other schools is unclear. In recent years, most of the relatively few schools that have closed have reopened as charter, magnet, military, alternative or other kinds of schools.

Chicago schools spokeswoman Becky Carroll said the district is “serious about making sure these buildings have a useful purpose, whether they are sold to a private entity [or used as] some kind of community center.”

But the district has never

! ME Y I d!

R r T R D 3 U 2 R H TE FE T I F US M LI O UG A S D N E

had to find new uses for so many vacant schools at once.

Carroll seemed to acknowledge the challenge in an email, saying no one should expect the buildings to be repurposed “in time for the school year or over the next year.”

For Terry Donaldson, that means a year or two without the security of the West Pullman school.

“I got to know the janitor over there, and he would be cutting the grass and we’d talk, and then he’d watch my back and I’d watch his back,” said Donaldson, 65. “Nobody bothered him or me because they know we watched each other.”

Richard Ingram, who manages rental properties on the South Side, says some tenants call schools rather than police to report crimes to prevent criminals from discovering who they are.

“They’re afraid for their lives, but they know the schools can call and there won’t be any repercussions,” he said.

First locations for speed cameras announced CHICAGO – The city of Chicago is announcing where a dozen new speed enforcement cameras will be installed as part of its Children’s Safety Zone Program.

In a news release, the city’s department of transportation says installation will begin next week at four parks around the city: Gompers Park, Garfield Park, Marquette Park and Washington Park. The other eight cameras will be installed near parks and a number of schools. Officials expect to pick 50 more locations for the cameras this year.

For the first 30 days, the city will only issue warnings. After that motorists face a $35 fine if they are cited for traveling 6-10 mph over the posted speed limit and $100 if they

IT ALL ADDS UP

QUINCY – State officials say a new Illinois law requiring hunters to use all edible parts of harvested animals could help fight poaching and provide meals to hungry families.

The legislation signed earlier this week by Gov. Pat Quinn makes it a misdemeanor to toss usable meat, including unspoiled breast meat of birds.

It also prohibits dumping carcasses of animals killed by hunters on public property or on private property without the owner’s permission.

It’s still legal to discard

any meat deemed infected or not safe for human consumption, as long as it’s disposed of properly.

The Quincy Herald-Whig reports 18 percent of the calls last year to a state hotline for reporting poachers were for dumped carcasses.

“It does not follow our idea of fair chase and ethics,” said Marc Miller, director of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. “We would like to put [the bill] in place so we can get at those folks who are doing that. It gives us another tool to fight poaching.”

The bill’s sponsor, Sen. David Koehler, said the legislation encourages hunters

Law creates ‘Bring Your Parents to School Day’ CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn said he hopes creating a “Bring Your Parents to School Day” in Illinois will encourage more parents to get involved in their kids’ education.

The bill was sponsored by state Sen. Kimberly Lightford, D-Westchester; and Rep. Chris Welch, D-Hillside.

Rutherford issued a warning Friday about websites that charge users to search for unclaimed property. He said the state’s website is a free service provided by his office, a program knows as I-Cash. The program is paid for through the unclaimed property trust fund, not by tax dollars.

Fort Hood victims want shooting designated terror The ASSOCIATED PRESS Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan admits pulling out a pistol, shouting “Allahu akbar” (God is great) and opening fire on unarmed people, killing 13 of them. All, he says, in an effort to stop them from going to Afghanistan and killing his fellow Muslims.

Concluding he was on the “wrong side” in America’s war, he told jurors at

his court-martial that he switched sides.

So, victims and others are demanding, why is the November 2009 attack at Fort Hood being tried as a case of workplace violence and not as an act of terror?

Military law expert Scott L. Silliman says the answer is simple. Because the Uniform Code of Military Justice does not have a punitive article for “terrorism.”

“They really didn’t have

an option,” says Silliman, director emeritus of Duke University’s Center on Law, Ethics and National Security in Durham, N.C. “He was an active-duty officer. The crime occurred on a military installation. ... It was obvious he was going to face a court-martial.”

Victims of the shooting rampage filed a lawsuit last year over the administration’s decision to treat the incident as workplace violence.

Surveillance debate intrudes into President Obama’s agenda

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – For President Barack Obama, August was supposed to be the time when a major immigration bill landed on his desk.

There was hope for movement on a deficit deal with Republicans, and in the optimistic early days of his second term, even a belief that he would have achieved stricter gun laws.

Instead, Obama finds his fifth year in office beset by distractions, perhaps none with broader implications than the revelation of secret government surveillance programs.

That matter dominated Obama’s hourlong news conference Friday. The issues that the White House had hoped to be promoting this summer? They played a diminished role, if at all.

The president set the tone, opening the session by announcing that he would work with Congress to make “appropriate reforms” to the National Security Agency surveillance programs.

He also made clear that he had no intention of stopping the daily collection of Americans’ phone records.

“Given the history of abuse by governments, it’s right to ask questions about surveillance, particularly as technology is reshaping every aspect of our lives,” he said, one day before leaving for a weeklong vacation on Martha’s Vineyard off the Massachusetts

Even without the NSA disclosures, Obama still would face the same political dynamic with congressional Republicans that stalled progress on immigration, vanquished hope of a long-term budget bargain and defeated gun control and other administration priorities.

It’s a reality of any administration that unexpected challenges can arise and shake up the carefully laid plans.

But the scope of the surveillance programs, leaked by former NSA systems analyst Edward Snowden, makes this an issue that’s probably will be more than a temporary distraction.

Obama’s poll numbers have dropped since the programs became public, and that could hamper his politi-

cal leverage. The revelations are particularly problematic for Obama because the issue strikes a chord with his base and can’t simply be dismissed as partisan-driven.

Seeking to address critics of the secret programs, the president acknowledged at the news conference that he may have underestimated the public’s concerns. He outlined steps that he said he hopes will increase public confidence in the programs.

One step is the creation of an independent attorney to argue against the government during secret hearings of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which reviews requests for surveillance inside the U.S. Obama also is forming an outside advisory panel to review U.S. surveillance powers.

Teen found safe; alleged abductor killed

By REBECCA BOONE The Associated Press CASCADE, Idaho – A harrowing weeklong search for a missing California teenager ended Saturday when FBI agents rescued the girl and shot and killed her apparent kidnapper at a campsite deep in the Idaho wilderness.

Hannah Anderson, 16, appeared to be uninjured and will be reunited soon with her father at a hospital, authorities said. Her suspected abductor, James Lee DiMaggio, 40, was killed after his campsite was found in Idaho’s rugged Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, roughly

40 miles from the tiny town of Cascade.

Hannah was taken to a hospital where crisis counselors and health care providers were assisting her. Her father was expected to arrive in Idaho on Sunday to reunite with her.

“We will make sure she gets as much care as possible, physically and emotionally,” said Andrea Dearden, a spokeswoman from the Ada County Sheriff’s Department who has been leading the communication team for the interagency effort in Valley County.

The shooting came after officers participating in a massive manhunt for the pair spot-

ted the campsite from the air and an FBI hostage recovery team trekked to the site near Morehead Lake.

“No one really knows where an investigation like this will lead,” said Mary Rook, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Salt Lake City division. “In this case, our team faced a very challenging situation.”

The FBI said it was sending a team to investigate what unfolded before, during and after the shooting. Authorities offered few details Saturday night.

The location wasn’t far from what had been the last known sighting of the pair.

They say that designation has robbed them of benefits and made them ineligible to receive the Purple Heart, awarded to service members wounded in battle.

On Monday, the staff of the magazine National Review launched a petition drive directed at Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, arguing that the Army psychiatrist should be tried as an enemy combatant for what they consider “an Act of Terror.”

“By not designating this event as such an act, it disrespects the lives of the 13 who lost their lives that day, and dozens more who were injured,” the petition reads.

“This is outrageous and I call on you to change the official designation now” before proceedings against Hasan go further.

While Silliman understands the outrage, he says transferring the case to civil courts – where a terror

charge could attach – was just not possible.

“It would have been totally unprecedented to have that sort of thing occur,” says Silliman, who has served as senior attorney at two large military installations and three major Air Force commands.

“Now, if the crime had occurred off the post, then there might have been what we call concurrent jurisdiction between the civilian authorities and the military authorities.”

8BRIEFS 6 killed by hot lava as Indonesia volcano erupts MAUMERE, Indonesia – Hot lava from an erupting volcano killed six people sleeping in a beach village on a small island in eastern Indonesia on Saturday, after ash and smoke from the volcano shot about a mile into the air, officials said.

Mount Rokatenda in East Nusa Tenggara province erupted early Saturday morning, and nearly 3,000 people have been evacuated from the area on Palue island, according to the National Disaster Mitigation Agency. The volcano has been rumbling since last October.

The victims who died included three adults and two children, said agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, adding that the age of the sixth person killed was unclear. He said that the adults’ bodies were recovered from Ponge beach in Rokirole village, but that the children’s remains had not been found.

NTSB: Helicopter pilot in Pa. crash not certified NOXEN, Pa. – The pilot of a helicopter that crashed in rural northeastern Pennsylvania last month, killing all five people on board, wasn’t certified to fly using only on-board instruments, according to federal investigators.

A preliminary report by the National Transportation Safety Administration also says there was no indication that the pilot obtained a weather briefing before taking off July 27 from Tri-Cities Airport in Endicott, N.Y., bound for Jake Arner Memorial Airport in Lehighton shortly before the crash in Wyoming County.

The report made available Friday noted heavy fog in the area at the time that prompted a temporary suspension of the search effort in the rugged area. The wreckage was located the following afternoon near Noxen.

16 Moroccan royal guards die in bus crash MARRAKECH, Morocco – Morocco’s official news agency says 16 royal guards have died in a bus crash after the vehicle drove off a road and plummeted 650 feet.

The MAP agency reported that the accident happened early Saturday on a road linking two cities on Morocco’s northern coast. The report said the driver lost control of the bus at a bend in the road, and the bus overturned and fell off the road.

In addition to those killed, another 42 guards were injured, including eight seriously.

They were hospitalized in Al

Hoceima, on the country’s north coast, about 280 miles northeast of the capital, Rabat.

Iraqi Kurdish leader vows to defend Kurds in Syria BEIRUT – The president of Iraqi Kurdistan vowed Saturday to defend the large Kurdish population in neighboring Syria from al-Qaida-linked rebel fighters, highlighting the potential for Syria’s civil war to morph into a full-blown regional, ethnic and sectarian conflict.

The comments from Massoud Barzani follow weeks of clashes in predominantly Kurdish parts of northeastern Syria between Kurdish militias and Islamic extremist rebel factions that have killed dozens on both sides. The fighting in the oil-rich region near the Iraqi border has emerged as yet another layer in Syria’s increasingly complex and bloody civil war.

In a statement posted on the Kurdistan Regional Government’s official website, Barzani called for a delegation to visit Kurdish areas in Syria to verify the reports that “al-Qaida terrorists” are killing Kurds. If confirmed, then Iraqi Kurdistan “will make use of all its capabilities to defend the Kurdish women, children and citizens in western Kurdistan,” he said.

Wave of bombings in Iraq kills dozens

By SAMEER N. YACOUB The Associated Press BAGHDAD – A wave of car bombings targeting those celebrating the end of Ramadan across Iraq killed 69 people Saturday, a bloody reminder of the inability of Iraqi authorities to stop violence threatening to spiral out of control.

Violence has been on the rise across Iraq since a deadly crackdown by government forces on a Sunni protest camp in April, and attacks against civilians and security forces notably spiked during Ramadan. The surge of attacks has sparked fears that the country could see a new round of widespread sectarian bloodshed similar to that which brought the country to the edge of civil war in 2006 and 2007.

The bloodshed also comes after Iraqi security forces promised to step up efforts to increase security to protect the public during the Eid alFitr celebrations that mark

AP photo

Black smoke from a car bomb attack is seen Saturday in Baghdad. the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. This year’s Ramadan was the most violence since 2007, with 671 people killed.

“My shop’s windows were smashed and smoke filled the whole area,” said shoe shop owner Saif Mousa, who survived an attack near his store

in New Baghdad. “I went outside of the shop and I could hardly see because of the smoke. ... At the end, we had a terrible day that was supposed to be nice because of Eid.” Many of the attacks occurred within an hour of each other, suggesting a level of coordination in the assaults. No

group immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks, though security forces and civilians are frequently targeted by al-Qaida’s Iraq branch.

Police said the deadliest of Saturday’s attacks took place when a suicide bomber drove his explosive-laden car into a residential area in the town of Tuz Khormato, killing eight people and wounding dozens, Mayor Shalal Abdool said. The town is about 130 miles north of the Iraqi capital.

Police said a car bomb exploded near an outdoor market in the Baghdad’s southeastern suburbs of Jisr Diyala shortly before sunset, killing seven people and wounding 20.

Also in southeastern Baghdad, officials said a car bomb went off inside a parking lot in the mainly Shiite New Baghdad neighborhood, killing three people. Another car bomb exploded in a busy street in the Shiite neighborhood of Amil, killing three people and wounding 14, authorities said.

By MICHAEL WEISSENSTEIN The Associated Press MEXICO CITY – Defense attorneys believe freedom is imminent for a second member of the trio of Mexican drug kingpins responsible for the 1985 slaying of a Drug Enforcement Administration agent, one of the capo’s attorneys said Saturday. In the U.S., outrage grew over this week’s surprise decision to overturn Mexican drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero’s conviction in the notorious killing.

Caro Quintero walked free Friday after a federal court overturned his 40-year sentence in agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena’s kidnapping, torture and murder.

The three-judge appeals court in the western state of Jalisco ordered Caro Quintero’s immediate release on procedural grounds after 28 years behind bars, saying he

should have originally been prosecuted in state instead of federal court.

Also imprisoned in the Camarena case are Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo and Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo, two of the founding fathers of modern Mexican drug trafficking, whose cartel based in the northwestern state of Sinaloa later split into some of Mexico’s largest drug organizations.

Fonseca Carrillo’s attorney, Jose Luis Guizar, said his team had filed an appeal based on the same procedural grounds used by Caro Quintero, and expected him to be freed within 15 days by a different court in Jalisco.

“The appeal is about to be resolved. We believe that the judges will stick to the law,” Guizar said. “Fonseca Carrillo should already be on the street. He should be at home. At its base, the issue is the same as Rafael’s.”

Suspected U.S. drone strike kills 2 in Yemen

By AHMED EL–HAJ The Associated Press SANAA, Yemen – A suspected U.S. drone strike killed two alleged al-Qaida militants in southern Yemen on Saturday, military officials said, making it the ninth such strike in just two weeks.

The strike in Lahj province wounded two other militants, one of them seriously, the officials said. The four had been traveling in a car in the area of el-Askariya. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media, said it was the first time a U.S. drone fired on this area of Lahj.

In total, there have been nine suspected U.S. drone strikes in Yemen since July 27. The drone attacks in that two-week period have killed a total of 38 suspected militants in Yemen, which is the Arab world’s most impoverished country.

While the U.S. acknowledges its drone program in Yemen, it does not usually talk about individual strikes.

The program is run by the Pentagon’s Joint Special Operations Command and the CIA, with the military flying its drones out of Djibouti, and the CIA out of a base in Saudi Arabia.

An accelerated use of drone strikes in Yemen under President Barack Obama and a U.S.-backed offensive last year drove militants from territory they had seized a year earlier, during Yemen’s political turmoil amid the Arab Spring.

Washington recently flew diplomatic staff out of Yemen’s capital over fears of a terrorist attack. The U.S., which is set to reopen diplomatic posts that were temporarily closed this week throughout parts of Africa and the Middle East amid a major terror alert, will keep its embassy in Yemen closed.

Yemeni Defense Minister Maj. Gen. Mohammed Nasser Ahmed met on Saturday with Deputy U.S. Ambassador Karen Sasahara and two American security officials based in Yemen to discuss the security situation.

Obama: We will weaken terrorism • OBAMA Continued from page A1 compound in Pakistan. But the terrorist network’s affiliates continue to threaten the U.S. “Although they are less likely to be able to carry out spectacular homeland attacks like 9/11, they have the capacity to go after our embassies,” Obama said. “They have the capacity to go after our businesses. They have the capacity to be destabilizing and disruptive in countries where the security apparatus is weak. And that’s what we are seeing now.”

“We are not going to completely eliminate terrorism,” he said. “What we can do is to weaken it and to strengthen our partners so that it does not pose the kind of horrible threat that it posed on 9/11.”

Obama didn’t talk specifically about the threat or the

embassy closings.

But U.S. officials familiar with internal discussions acknowledged that last year’s deadly attack on a U.S. facility in Benghazi was playing a role in the decision-making.

They said the White House, in particular, was insisting on handling the situation with extra caution, and only reopening embassies and consulates to the public when no meaningful threat persisted. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to talk publicly about the deliberations.

Extended closures have consequences for U.S. diplomacy. It means would-be tourists and those traveling on business have to wait for visas, pickpocketed Americans can’t get new passports and fewer personnel are at work promoting human rights, facilitating trade deals or coordinating with foreign

governments on issues vital to U.S. security and economic growth. It also takes a toll on the U.S. image in countries with anti-American sentiment already.

The shutdown order for diplomatic facilities from northwest Africa to Bangladesh stands in sharp contrast to the approach the administration favored last September under different circumstances.

The current danger across much of North Africa and the Middle East concerns a potential al-Qaida attack stemming from lawless Yemen, while the Pakistan closures relate to a flurry of deadly militant attacks there. The threat a year ago was more amorphous and even less predictable, focusing primarily on a flood of protests from West Africa to the Philippines over an amateur, anti-Islam film made by an Egyptian living in the United States.

McHenry County Sheriff ’s Office issued 291 citations from 2010-13 • DRINKING Continued from page A1 Numbers have decreased four out of the past five years except for 2010, when citations increased to 338 from 312 in 2009. Police officers issued a total of 300 tickets in 2011.

McHenry had the most citations issued over the 200812 time period with 541. The city hovered over the 100-citation mark annually from 2008 to 2011 until last year, when numbers dipped to 79 compared with 117 in 2011.

Crystal Lake wasn’t far behind, issuing 522 tickets over the past five years. Citations peaked in 2008 when 140 were handed out, and the city saw its biggest spike in 2012, when officers handed out 108 compared with 67 the previous year.

“Children will abuse anything they can get ahold of,”

Crystal Lake police Cmdr.

Dan Dziewior said. “We tend to see the kid who shows up drunk at the dance or football game, or a group of minors parked somewhere drinking alcohol.”

Coming in well below the rest was Huntley, which saw 73 minors issued possession or consumption citations in the past five years. The city has had no more than 20 tickets issued in a single year during that same time period.

From 2010 to 2013, the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office has issued 291 citations, numbers show. Citations peaked last year with 91, and the department has issued 49 through July of this year.

For communities such as Woodstock and Crystal Lake, officers have at their disposal the opportunity to send offenders to administrative court instead of circuit court at the county level.

Administrative court handles matters such as nuisance and community code violations as well as smoking and parking tickets, to name a few. It does not handle felonies or crimes that involve possible jail time.

For cases such as underage drinking, being found guilty of a city ordinance violation in administrative court means that the conviction does not go onto a person’s record.

Woodstock launched its administrative court in December 2009, and has gone on to issue 97 adjudication citations through July 2013.

Woodstock police Sgt. Chip Amati said. “Adjudication citations gives kids a second chance and allows us to help the child and straighten them out.”

Dziewior agreed.

“People make mistakes,” Dziewior said. “It’s sometimes an easier process for our officers to issue adjudication citations because it doesn’t require the physical arrest of an individual.”

Area leaders and law enforcement agencies across the county teamed up to create the Underage Drinking Task Force in September 2010 to address a growing concern of alcohol use by teenagers.

A key strategy developed by the task force was the creation of sample ordinances that municipalities could adopt, covering the topics of keg tagging, alcohol sign limitations in storefronts, holding those who host drinking

parties more accountable and synthetic drug use.

“It’s a unified effort that shows the county is taking underage drinking seriously,” sheriff’s Deputy Aimee Knop said. “The focus is now on education and enforcement, not just enforcement.”

Adults who contribute to the delinquency of minors also could face fines and possible jail time depending on whether a case goes through the adjudication process or circuit court.

It falls on the parents to educate their children about the dangers of underage drinking.

“It’s always a struggle to walk the line between parent and friend,” Chelius said. “A lot of times we screw up as parents, but it’s about making good choices. We aren’t given a handbook and are shooting from the hip sometimes.”

Besides legal trouble, those minors caught with alcohol

also could face discipline from their local schools.

At District 155, students can be suspended 10 days for a first offense and can be expelled after multiple offenses, according to the student handbook. Athletes and students involved in extracurricular activities also can lose eligibility.

Sophomores at the Crystal Lake-based district’s four high schools are required to take health class, which includes a unit dedicated to the dangers of abusing drugs and alcohol. Schools also ramp up educational efforts around times when alcohol may be more prevalent, such as prom and homecoming.

“We try to give students a firsthand look at what could happen,” District 155 spokesman Jeff Puma said. “Your peer group and teammates play a role in education and keeping kids in line.”

New school year to start Summer doesn’t officially end until Sept. 22.

But summer vacation is over for thousands of area children beginning this week, when school starts in a few local districts.

Students at McHenry High School Districts 15 and 156 start Monday. At Carpentersville District 300, students return Wednesday. And the first day of classes at Woodstock District 200 is Thursday.

The following For the record week, students at Alden-Hebron With simple planning, parents District 19, Fox can help their children have a River Grove Disgreat school year. trict 3, Harvard District 50, Huntley District 158, Johnsburg District 12, Marengo High School District 154, Marengo-Union District 165, Nippersink District 2, Prairie Grove District 46, Richmond-Burton High School District 157 and Riley District 18 all return.

The remaining McHenry County school districts fall in line shortly after that.

The new school year can be an exciting – but sometimes anxious – time for children. New teachers. New classmates and friends. New things to learn. New daily routines.

Parents can help their school-aged children transition more smoothly into the new school year by following a few tips: • Help them get organized. Clear up a workspace at home that is quiet where they can do homework and other school assignments.

• Talk to them each day about how their school day went, and what they learned. Review their homework assignments with them and make sure they completed those assignments at the end of each day. Depending on the child’s age, review the homework with them.

• Prepare for the next school day the night before so the morning is less rushed. Have backpacks packed; lunches made and in the refrigerator; discuss the next day’s schedule in case there are any special activities planned.

• Make sure children are getting enough sleep by adjusting their nightly bedtimes.

• Communicate with your child’s teacher.

Most have email addresses where you can write to check on progress, ask questions, or discuss concerns. Also, plan ahead so you can make parent-teacher conferences.

Let’s help make the 2013-14 school year a great one for our children.

ACA inconsistencies President Barack Obama has long touted the Affordable Care Act as his cornerstone achievement. Now he increasingly insists citizens not take the law too seriously – and certainly not literally.

Thus, the administration has begun advocating a cafeteria approach to Obamacare implementation, picking and choosing which provisions to enforce. It defends IRS regulations allowing those obtaining insurance through federally run exchanges to qualify for taxpayer subsidies, not merely those in state exchanges.

But the so-called Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act does not allow for that.

Engaging in revisionist history, some Obamacare defenders suggest it would be absurd for the law to deliberately deny subsidies to those using federally run exchanges.

Critics agree with Obamacare boosters on one point: The law as a whole makes no sense.

But this conclusion makes the case for repeal, not for selective enforcement.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Fair tax system To the Editor: Your July 28 editorial, “Must stop graduated income tax,” predicted doom for Illinois small businesses if we adopt a progressive income tax. However, the current tax code eats away at business profits and their ability to create jobs, putting the private-sector economy at a disadvantage.

The current tax system places a burden on middle-class families who then have less disposable income to spend in our businesses.

Small-business owners are hit again, paying higher rates than millionaires because of loopholes the wealthy can use.

We need change in the form of a fair tax; one that creates higher tax rates for higher income levels and lower rates for lower income levels.

Two important things businesses look for when deciding where to locate are the quality of the infrastructure and support provided to its schools. Illinois is sadly behind most states on these. Many balk at locating in Illinois with its $7 billion in unpaid bills. A long-term solution to our budget problems is needed to attract businesses.

You praised North Carolina’s new tax code; however, in passing its new flat tax, they simultaneously penalized business owners and consumers. North Carolina also eliminated a $50,000 exemption for small businesses; expanded the

state sales tax to cover utilities; eliminated tax breaks for retirees; imposed a cap on deductions for mortgage interest and property taxes; and ended a sales-tax holiday on back-to-school items. Not good choices.

We do need “policy that makes the state more attractive to business ...” A fair tax system would help get us there.

On all of us To the Editor: For a long period of time, Illinois politicians (both parties culpable) have made numerous promises they cannot keep. Wow, what a surprise.

They have promised overly generous public pensions and benefits, while not properly planning for those costs, and they do not own up to the fact that they have wrecked the state’s economy in the process.

This financial crisis cannot continue much longer without drastic changes. We need the state to cut back on the amount of pension and medical benefits it pays out, increase the amount of pension and medical contributions for employees and retirees of public pension plans, decrease existing social service programs and payrolls, and, unfortunately, increase the state income tax and

other taxes and fees, to help cover this huge shortfall.

In short, everyone will need to take a hit on this, and it is on all of our backs.

Unfortunately, Illinois politicians are heavily influenced, possibly even controlled, by public sector labor unions. Being part of the public sector themselves is an inherent conflict of interest. However, as the Metra scandal has shown us, conflicts of interest rule in Illinois.

In short, our politicians got us into this mess, but do they have the resolve to get us out before it all crashes down? I sincerely hope so. But don’t promise that you will, just do it.

Conservatives should focus on voters’ concerns, not ideology STAVANGER, Norway – The several hundred conservatives on the National Review’s summer cruise, which I was asked to attend as a speaker, are united in what they don’t like about the Obama administration and congressional Democrats, but divided on the best strategy for winning the Senate in 2014 and the White House in 2016.

On a panel titled “The State of the GOP and Conservatism,” Bob Costa, the magazine’s Washington bureau chief, asks if anyone agrees with Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who thinks Republicans should be willing to shut down the government over the issue of defunding the Affordable Care Act. Former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu, who served as chief of staff for President George H.W. Bush, thinks closing government over a policy disagreement will only harm the Republican image, as it did nearly 20 years ago when Republicans tried that approach.

Former Florida Republican Congressman Allen West agrees. He thinks a better strategy is to “single out” portions of the ACA, deny funding them and make the president defend those parts that polls show are unpopular. West suggests highlighting how small businesses are already being harmed by the bill, as many refuse to hire new employees or cut the hours of current workers to avoid costs associated with the law’s health insurance requirements.

West, the only African-American on the roster of speakers, thinks the best strategy for winning over at least some minority voters is to focus on school choice. He says Republicans should offer to vote for an increase in the debt limit in exchange for Democrats allowing poor and minority children to select the schools offering them the best education and a ticket out of poverty, instead of supporting teachers’ unions, which oppose charter schools.

VIEWS Cal Thomas Ralph Reed, who heads the Faith and Freedom Coalition, a social conservative nonprofit, agrees. He notes that by 2020 the number of white voters will have dwindled to fewer than 65 percent. By contrast, the National Review crowd, which is nearly 100 percent white, does not look like America.

When it’s my turn to comment, I quote columnist Thomas Sowell: “Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good.” There is a history to liberal programs and whether they have worked, or not. Republicans and conservatives should tap into the country’s Puritan DNA, which

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

detests waste. Every government agency should be required to justify not only its budget, but its existence.

Republicans should cite publicly as examples people who have made it, either without government, or with help from government, but who are now independent of government. Stop allowing Democrats to set the agenda. You can’t disprove a negative that Republicans care only for the rich. Demonstrate that real caring means showing the poor a way out of poverty, not sustaining them with a government check and that caring for the middle class means an improved economy, which would create more jobs and higher wages.

On the cruise ship’s TV, I watch Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Preibus fret over two forthcoming programs on NBC and CNN that he thinks will be proHillary Clinton. If the shows air, he threatens not to allow those networks to provide questioners for the

2016 GOP presidential candidates’ debates.

A better strategy would be to demand the right of Republicans to choose one panel member to question Democratic presidential candidates (I suggest a conservative journalist or radio talk show host) and allow the Democrats to do the same for the Republican debates. In the latter case, it would make little difference since most journalists are liberal and would ask predictable questions.

The cruising conservatives haven’t yet coalesced around a presidential candidate (some think that a female governor should be on the ticket, especially if Clinton is the Democratic nominee), but there seems to be agreement to first get the policies right, talking less about ideology and statistics and focusing more on the concerns of average voters.

LITH TO REPLACE WATER WELL PUMP LAKE IN THE HILLS – Village Board members last week hired Layne Western out of Aurora to replace the pumping assembly for one of Lake of the Hills’ water wells. The work will cost $20,480.

The Public Works Department found that Water Well 6’s pumping capacity had been diminished, according to village documents. A subsequent inspection found that the motor shaft was badly damaged and could not be reused.

As part of the project, the village has to have the old well pump assembly professionally decontaminated and disposed of mercury, under Illinois Environmental Protection Agency rules, according to a memo to the Village Board.

Residents enjoy free day at Main Beach during annual event

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Crystal Lake resident Matt Metropulos experienced Main Beach in an all new way Saturday.

Free of charge.

Metropulos was one of more than 2,500 people to attend Blast on the Beach – an annual event produced in partnership by Crystal Lake Park District and BMO Harris Bank. It was the second year the event was free to the public thanks to the bank’s support, a detail not unnoticed by Metropulos, who spent the day with his young nieces.

“My sisters used to lifeguard here but that was the only time I ever really visited,” Metropulos said. “It’s good for the city to advertise this place in this way. It helps build community.”

Circus Boy Bobby Hunt and tribute band Lounge Puppets also provided entertainment throughout the evening.

Traci Kubiak, a Hanover Park resident, brought her two young daughters to the event for a day of free entertainment. The day did not disappoint as her children hauled in cotton candy, water bottles filled with candy and stuffed animals during the treasure hunt.

“Free is always good,” Kubiak said. “Everything is so expensive nowadays so it’s nice to enjoy family time without that cost.”

The event also was a golden opportunity for local vendors, who paid a significantly discounted price for space at the fair.

FOX RIVER GROVE – With one facade face-lift underway, two more businesses in the village are looking to make changes to their building exteriors as well.

The village’s Facade Grant Program, which was established in May, has been getting some interest from businesses in the

roughly 4,800-resident village.

Since the village first approved a facade grant and loan for the New China restaurant, which was damaged by a fire in January, two other businesses have shown interest for the program, Village Administrator Karl Warwick said.

“Sometimes it takes a little incentive to get [things] moving,” Warwick said.

This fiscal year, the village budgeted $75,000 for the program. Money for the facade grants to eligible businesses is coming from the Community Enhancement Capital Fund, which is funded by fines from red-

light camera violations in the village.

Under the program, the village will contribute between $1,000 to $50,000 per approved project. Each grant would pay for up to 50 percent of the project cost.

The property owner would be reimbursed with the village share after the project is satisfactorily completed.

Riverside Auto Collision at 200 S. Northwest Highway has applied for a grant.

The business normally has about a dozen cars in front of the business, and wants to take steps to screen its operation, Warwick said.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Jared Malda fought an unexpected enemy during his seven months at Wolverine Base in Kabul, Afghanistan.

Boredom.

The 2010 McHenry East High School graduate said the transition from Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington to Afghanistan in November 2012 was almost unnoticeable as his day-to-day routine changed little despite his dangerous position of mortarman in the Army.

It was not until his return to Crystal Lake on Friday that the real change set in. Malda was unexpect-

edly brought to Fratellos in Round Lake by his mother where he was escorted to his home by Warriors’ Watch Riders – an organization dedicated to welcoming veterans who served overseas back home.

“I was pretty speechless,” Malda said of the crew waiting to welcome him home. “I definitely felt different after coming back home and seeing everyone again.”

While Malda’s experience overseas was uneventful, he said he still felt accomplished and proud he was able to walk in the footsteps of his three brothers who all served in the military.

of Nicor’s 8-1-1 line NORTHWEST HERALD

On Sunday, Nicor Gas is reminding homeowners and professional contractors of the importance of calling 8-1-1 before any outdoor digging project to help prevent serious injury, costly property damage and utility service interruptions.

The date coincides with National 8/11 Day, a way to promote safe digging and the use of the 8-1-1 hotline, a free service that protects underground utility lines and the residents digging near them.

When calling 8-1-1, residents are connected to their local one-call center, which notifies utility companies

of the intent to dig. Professional locators then are sent to the requested digging site to mark the locations of underground lines with color-coded spray paint, flags or stakes. The color used for natural gas is yellow.

Once lines have been marked, residents are urged to use the appropriate methods to dig carefully around or near underground facilities, such as water, cable, telephone and electric lines.

If a natural gas line is accidentally damaged or the distinct odor of gas is present, call Nicor Gas at 888642-6748 from a safe location.

RICHMOND: TOP COP

New chief officially takes over Richmond police department

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com RICHMOND – Richmond’s new police chief plans to keep the department on its current path.

Although the Richmond Village Board made the promotion official last week, Ciro Cetrangolo has been serving as the village’s top cop since December, when the now-retired chief went on medical leave.

“He’s calm, he’s smart; he’ll make a great police chief,” Village President Pete Koenig said, adding that he’s in a similar vein as former Chief John Fryksdale.

Fryksdale is credited with professionalizing the department, and Cetrangolo plans on following Fryksdale’s vision and maintaining the “professionalism, trust and credibility the department has earned,” he said.

First on his to-do list is an assessment of the department’s strengths and weaknesses, getting feedback from staff, the board and

the community on what programs and services they’d like to see and what they think the department is lacking.

Cetrangolo plans on continuing Fryksdale’s emphasis on professionalism.

Cetrangolo joined the department six years ago as an officer. He was promoted to sergeant last year.

He’s familiar to the community as the department’s canine officer and through the Richmond Citizens’ Police Academy, according to a village news release.

After graduating from high school in Crystal Lake, Cetrangolo got a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Judson University in Elgin. He also graduated from the Northwestern University Center for Public Safety’s intensive 10-week program that trains officers for senior positions.

Cetrangolo previously worked at departments in Lakewood, Fox River Grove and the Crystal Lake Park District.

• BEACH Continued from page B1 Brian Schneider, store manager for the Crystal Lake Jamba Juice, said events such as Blast on the Beach are vital because the company does not advertise on TV. He said paying far less than the $400 to $1,000 range most festivals require was an added bonus.

“We build our brand showing what we have to offer,” he said. “There has been a lot of interest here so it has been a huge success.”

Jenny Leech, spokeswoman for Crystal Lake Park District, said she hoped the event could continue as a free

showcase of Main Beach, but it would depend of the continued support of BMO Harris Bank.

Jamie Maravich, BMO Harris market president for McHenry County, said supporting the event is a year-byyear decision, but the growth in popularity was a good sign.

Nearly half of last year’s total attendance was through the gates within the first 90 minutes of this year’s Blast on the Beach.

“We wanted to continue supporting it because we see how much fun people had and it was a unique way to end summer,” Maravich said. “It provides an opportunity for people with a lot of different interests to come together.”

21-year-old plans for future, adjusts to life back home • SOLDIER Continued from page B1 Karen Knight, Malda’s mother, said even after seeing her fourth son come home from military duty overseas, it always feels like a new experience.

She said she was glad she was able to surprise Malda after failing to pull off the grand welcome home event with her other son.

Knight, who has volunteered as a rider with Warriors’ Watch in the past, said it was amazing to be on the receiving end.

“I didn’t think it would be a very good turnout but it was incredible,” she said.

“They made him feel like a rock star with the escort. It was humbling.”

With Malda adjusting to life back in McHenry County, he said his immediate future would only involve catching up with family, friends and seeing all his nieces and nephews.

But the 21-year-old has long-term goals of becoming a conductor or engineer for BNSF Railway.

“Right now I’m just relieved to eat the good food here again,” he said.

to be held accountable,” Zielinski said.

Zielinski started receiving payments – a $489 installment – on his government-issued LINK Card meant to help poor families pay for healthy food in November 2010.

Nearly two years later in March 2012, he received notice from DHS that he would have to pay $4,000 in overcharges made to his LINK card from November 2010 to October 2011 for failing to accurately report his wife “Barbara’s income.” Zielinski’s wife’s name is Beverly.

Zielinski reported on the SNAP application that the family relied on the sole income of his wife, Beverly, a local school bus driver who earned roughly $1,800 a month during the school year.

“This is a bunch of malarkey, and who is Barbara?

Where does she come? I don’t know. I just don’t know anymore. Nobody wants to help me,” Zielinski said.

DHS uses Social Security numbers to verify identities and incomes before issuing SNAP benefits to LINK Cards and even allows individuals a chance to appeal DHS decisions, DHS spokeswoman Januari Smith said.

The department, she said, has records that show Zielins-

money away from me when you didn’t give me a fair appeal?”

Jim Zielinski Huntley resident, on his recent problems with DHS ki withdrew an overcharge appeal in April 2012 in a meeting that Zielinski argued never resulted in a withdrawal.

The “Barbara” error on the overcharge notice was a mistake made by an “overworked caseworker,” Smith said. The notice still was sent to the correct family, since DHS used the correct Social Security number of Beverly, Zielinski’s real wife, to verify the application.

“I’m certainly not sticking up for this person, but many of our caseworkers have hundreds upon hundreds of cases they work on at a given time. ... It’s an honest mistake.

Unfortunate yes, but it happens,” Smith said.

In Zielinski’s case, DHS found that the four-person household was collecting a monthly income of $3,800, exceeding the $2,498 maximum allowable monthly income for a family of four to be eligible for SNAP benefits.

Smith could not confirm whether the higher monthly income corresponded with

the one-year timeframe detailed in the March 2012 overcharge notice.

Since that notice, Zielinski found work in May 2012 as a cashier, earning minimum wage. He said he applied for SNAP benefits later in 2012 but was denied because DHS found that the family’s income was too high.

DHS is adamant that Zielinski reported his wife’s income incorrectly and has referred the matter to a collection agency to ensure that the state receives the $4,000 in overcharges, Smith said without specifying the error.

“We discovered that the family initially failed to report income and later under-reported income,” Smith said. “The state takes abuse and fraud of public assistance very seriously and is in the process of recouping this overpayment.”

Zielinski did travel to the DHS Family Community Resource Center in Woodstock in April 2012 to initiate an appeal, he said. He couldn’t understand why the overcharge notice listed such varying amounts that DHS said he should have been owed.

According to the March 2012 notice, Zielinski received anywhere between $668 and $424 a month in SNAP benefits from November 2010 to October 2011. The corrected amounts range throughout the year, from $167 for November 2010 to $0 for August

2011 Zielinski even received monthly notices throughout 2010-11 that alerted him of payment changes. In July 2011, he received notice that his benefits would be reduced to $424, only to be informed in the March overcharge notice that the correct amount should have been $333.

With this information in hand, Zielinski left his April appeal meeting with the Family Community Resource Center dejected. He said a caseworker there told him that the office did not have time to hear the appeal and that he owed the money regardless of whether DHS made an error.

Repeated calls for comment to Family Community Resource Center manager Kim Curran were never returned.

Since the April meeting, Zielinski has tried to file an appeal with a DHS state hotline that only leads to automated messages, and he has tried to work with the collection agency, who refers him back to DHS, he said.

He needs to be certain that DHS did not make erroneous calculations before he will pay the $4,000 in overcharges that he said his family can’t afford.

“I don’t know where to go,” Zielinski said. “Why should you take money away from me when you didn’t give me a fair appeal?”

Several projects planned for program • GRANT

By the numbers

Continued from page B1 The business’ plan is to have brick planters and bushes around the front and side of the lot along Route 14 and Opatrny Drive. The plan would provide screening that is 4 feet tall, said Janet Lalond, co-owner of Riverside Collision.

Riverside also is looking to create a brick walkway and paint the sides of its building to match the bricks, Lalond said.

The project budget is a little more than $22,000.

“We’ve always wanted to do what we can to keep things beautiful,” Lalond said.

Recently, Fuel Zone, a gas station at the intersection of Route 14 and Illinois Street, presented some preliminary ideas.

Gas station representatives are looking to give their pumps a face-lift, fix the concrete around the pumps, and do

some lighting upgrades, Warwick said. An estimated dollar amount for the project has yet to be determined.

The Village Board also has an agreement with the New China restaurant. Under the current agreement between the restaurant and the village, the village agreed to pay the restaurant $43,000 when work

on the new facade is complete.

Of that amount, the restaurant has to pay back $10,750 over a five-year period.

As New China works to reopen after a fire that took place Jan. 3, board members reaffirmed its commitment to the restaurant by providing a letter to tell contractors that the village is backing the project and money would be available at the completion of the facade work.

New China owner William Gee said he hopes to open in five to six weeks with an updated restaurant.

As for work on the facade, there needs to be work on signs and awnings, among other things, Gee said.

Gee said the facade program helped ensure that the restaurant will have a more contemporary look when it reopens.

It “gave us a gift to help us have more curb appeal,” Gee said.

Quinn Haley, Marian Central basketball player

Staying positive isn’t easy for athletes on Marian Central’s basketball team. “And it would be us down by 14. And all the guys on the bench, we’d have our heads down.”

The Hurricanes lost that game, 59-36. It was their 27th and final loss of the season. They managed four wins – one each in November and December and two in February.

Pick a school. Pick a sport.

Pick an athlete.

Losing happens. Losing hurts.

By TOM MUSICK tmusick@shawmedia.com

Q

uinn Haley knew the picture well.

He had not seen this specific image – the one with his team losing big to Woodstock, his face buried in a white towel. But he knew the picture well.

“You could look at probably every picture of us in the third quarter of most of our games,” said Haley, a senior forward

The coaches’ take Coaches suffer as much or more than athletes with each loss. PAGE C9 What happens next is what matters most.

On some teams, coaches treat losing seasons as teaching moments. Teenagers sort through individual anger and group tension to unite in the face of adversity.

On other teams, emotions burn hot long after the scoreboard goes dark. Coaches lose jobs if they do not win enough games. Players quit rather than confront their failures.

There’s always next time, until there isn’t.

“I hate losing,” said Andrew Tieman, a senior on Faith Lutheran’s boys basketball team, which was 7-21 last season. “But just because you lost doesn’t mean you didn’t gain something from

it. You can always learn from the mistakes that you made.”

SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM Few high school students stumble upon their varsity team.

Before competing at the highest level of high school sports, most played on their sophomore and freshman teams, and their middle school and elementary school teams before that.

Figure skater Gracie Gold, 17, talks to young skaters Saturday at the Crystal Ice House in Crystal Lake. Gold won the silver medal at the 2013 U.S. National Figure Skating Championships.

FIGURE SKATING

Olympic hopeful Gold gives back

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Eight-year-old Brooke Gewalt, one of about 85 ice skaters at the Crystal Ice House, eagerly watched and listened as Olympic hopeful Gracie Gold took the ice Saturday.

Gold, a resident of Elk Grove whose Wagon Wheel Figure Skating Club is based in Crystal Lake, spent more than an hour on the ice with the young skaters, teaching them techniques and offering encouragement.

“She said the most important thing about ice skating is you have fun and that you work hard at it so you get better and better at it,” said Brooke, who

is from McHenry.

After the on-ice work, Gold met with the ice skaters, signing autographs and taking pictures, which some said was a highlight of the day. For Crystal Lake natives Alex O’Hara, 15; Kendall Lownds, 13; and Brittany Lownds, 15; learning from Gold was a can’t-miss opportunity.

“It was fun knowing that someone just like me can achieve that much,” Alex said.

“She told us not to be afraid of something and try your best every time, give it your all,” Kendall added.

Although some of the participants found it nerve-wracking to skate in front of Gold, many were motivated

by Gold’s accomplishments. Brittany Lownds said the biggest thing she took away from the experience was to push yourself hard and never give up while staying positive.

“It was very inspirational,” 9-yearold Natalie Alexander of Crystal Lake said. “I learned how to do skills better and what to do and what not to do with your tricks.”

The event Saturday represented an opportunity for the 17-year-old Gold to interact with kids not only in the same Wagon Wheel club but also ice skaters hoping to one day follow the same path.

See GOLD, page C11

It’s a good thing the Bears’ first test in Carolina doesn’t count as part of their final grades for the season.

Both starting cornerbacks, Charles Tillman and Tim Jennings, were in midseason Pro Bowl form. Jermon Bushrod, Martellus Bennett, Roberto Garza, Stephen Paea, Lance Briggs, Major Wright and Chris Conte all basically did their jobs, so let’s say B/B- all around for this group.

Isaiah Frey wasn’t bad, but he did drop what appeared to be an easy interception.

The quarterbacks all get C, although Jay Cutler and Matt Blanchard were more efficient than Josh McCown, and I’m also going to give Blanchard a Bronze Star for courage, as he spent a good chunk of the evening running for his life.

Matt Forte and Michael Bush get incompletes. Judging running backs when they had two and three touches, respectively, and only one rushing attempt each is folly. Their lack of work did raise an interesting question though.

Asked in his postgame news conference why he ran once and threw the ball eight times plus a ninth attempt that ended in a sack when Cutler was in the game, coach Marc Trestman replied, “I think what you don’t see is there were a number of runs called

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush where he had the option to throw it because they were in the box.”

What Trestman was not asked and did not comment on was whether he approved of all the audibles or checkdowns Cutler called. That is definitely a storyline to watch.

Armando Allen gets a C-/D for taking what I thought was an insurmountable lead for the third running back spot and giving it back by losing a critical fumble at the Panthers’ 10-yard line after the Bears had taken the ball away from Carolina at the Panthers’ 25.

At wideout, rookie seventhround draft pick Marquess Wilson gets a B/B+ for a four-reception, 82-yard evening, including a 58-yard catch and run from Blanchard. The other receivers were average.

One tight end who stood out for all the wrong reasons was Fendi Onobun. His drop of an easy touchdown catch in the end zone and half-hearted effort on what turned into the 60-yard pick six Blanchard threw to Josh Norman may have cost him the third tight end job.

OK, so the Dodgers’ Juan Uribe got fooled by the hidden ball trick against the Rays on Saturday and was out when he stepped off third base. The real question: What was third base coach Tim Wallach doing?

Three players who did something as embarrassing as being caught by the hidden ball trick: 1. Jose Canseco: had a home run bounce off his head 2. Tim McCarver: got called out for passing a runner after hitting a grand slam 3. Robin Ventura: got punched repeatedly in the head by 46-year-old pitcher Nolan Ryan (left)

A

s another school year approaches, the city of Crystal Lake is butting heads with District 155 regarding renovations to the football stadium at Crystal Lake South.

Sports editor Jon Styf and columnist Tom Musick discuss.

Musick: Football is filled with great rivalries. Bears vs. Packers. Ohio State vs. Michigan. Army vs. Navy. And now, apparently, the city of Crystal Lake vs. District 155. Who’ve you got?

Styf: Like Dan McCaleb (read his column about it on Page A2), I took a drive to Crystal Lake South to check it out Friday evening. And it looked like everyone in the neighborhood was in their front yard looking and pointing at the bleachers. I bet there’s been a lot of that lately. They already lived close to the stadium.

Now, they live a little closer. I know ... you’re looking for an answer. Tick, tick, tick. Um, I know I plan to be up in that press box webcasting the Marian Central and Crystal Lake South Week 1 game Aug. 30. And I guess I’ll feel bad about it. But I just can’t imagine anyone forcing them to tear it down now. That’s probably what they were going for.

Musick: The good news for you is that the bleachers and press box look nice and sturdy.

The bad news for the law-abiding citizens of Crystal Lake is that CL South and District 155 seem to think they can outfox the city. What kind of example does this set for CL South students? “Yes, we have rules, but there’s always some sort of loophole that can be exploited.”

Styf: It’s a public school on public land, and the plan was approved by a public body. Not sure why you’re so upset, Tom. The Gators have a nice facility that will be used by the community. It’s closer, but not a ton closer, than it was before. But you have to understand that when you own a home or move in next to a football stadium that it might be renovated. It might get bigger and a little brighter.

Maybe if the Cubs would have taken this tact, we could have avoided months of unnecessary meetings and rants from aldermen with agendas.

Musick: So are you saying the Gators will win the World Series? But no, I’m not upset, just confused that CL South thinks that it can expand a stadium on its own terms without working with city officials. Like it or not, rules are rules, and Crystal Lake has several specific zoning requirements that District 155 apparently has chosen to ignore. I’m fully expecting the Gators to go for it on fifth down this season and line up 12 players on defense. Let opponents settle their objections with district lawyers.

Styf: Because what we really need is two public entities to have a legal battle where neither will win, right? All for principle. Let the kids play. Let the people watch. And, maybe, the homeowners can get resourceful too and build their own tower for seating on their roof.

Then they could get CL South again by taking away from ticket sales. And maybe, just maybe, they can come up with some sort of legal pact where eventually they feel like they hold all the cards. In all seriousness, there is no way to solve this without hurting someone’s feelings. What do they expect the school to do?

Tear down the bleachers and not have seating?

For what reason?

Musick: I do like the idea of CL South rooftop seating. Imagine the bachelor parties, the tourists, the college reunions. But the fact of the matter is that the school is part of the neighborhood, part of the city. It should act as such. Ultimately, life will go on and a few neighbors will have to deal with the bleachers being taller and closer than city zoning requirements allow. Too bad, so sad.

Styf: It happens in every town in every state in the country. People want amenities. They don’t want them in their backyard. Unfortunately, an upgrade of the stadium had to go somewhere, and with the tennis courts behind the other side of bleachers (which used to be the home side), they had to go there.

Marty Hickman is the executive director of the IHSA, the governing body that oversees high school sports across the state. This week, football programs begin fall practices, working on new time limit guidelines put in place by the IHSA designed to cut down on heat exhaustion and head injuries in an effort to make prep sports safer.

I think football is a great game and it’s very healthy in Illinois. We have a lot of kids playing it and we have a lot of really good coaches coaching it. So I think it’s very healthy in Illinois and I think it will continue to be. I think we just have to be smart about how we move forward and put in place good, prudent practices. [Setting time limits] was Marty Hickman the prudent thing to do.

Our sports medicine committee has been looking at this issue for a couple of years now and they were really adamant that we needed to make some changes. I don’t know whether it’s 85 or 95 – or whatever the percentage was – I think the large majority of our [coaches] were doing the right thing to begin with.

I’m pretty confident that by this fall, we’ll have a bylaw proposal to eliminate contact in the summer contact day period that we have. We’ll see whether or not that’s supported, but I’m pretty sure that we’ll see that proposal and there will be a good debate about that topic. I wouldn’t at all be surprised that kind of bylaw amendment would pass our membership. When you say football without contact, what we’re primarily talking about is full contact where there’s full-speed tackling to the ground that takes place. There is a lot of contact and there’s going to be a lot of contact in football whether or not we permit full contact in the summer.

I don’t think it’s going to look that dramatically different. I think people have gone away from much of the contact that they have had in the past and I don’t think that eliminating full contact – and again, we’re not talking about eliminating all full contact – but contact in the summer is going to going to be that big of a departure from what a lot of people are doing now.

The focus at the national level and at the specific high school level – most through the work of our sports medicine committee – has made things considerably safer. Now we always know that we’re going to have young people get injured participating. That’s unavoidable. That’s just part of what is going on. As part of any activity, there is a risk, but I think kids are certainly safer than they were five years ago.

I would tell you that just the attention that’s been brought to the (head injury) issue has had this trickle down effect into other sports. Certainly, people are much more aware now than they were five years ago about the possibility of concussions in soccer, in competitive cheer, in soccer, in boys and girls basketball. I just saw on TV – in the lead up to the Little League World Series – where a young man was hit by a foul ball after it came off the catcher’s facemask and there was a lot of concern. I think five years ago (if that happened), it would have been, ‘Shake it off, let’s go’ kind of a thing. But that’s not what’s happening anymore.

Keselowski wins in Nationwide at Watkins Glen

Marcos Ambrose shattered the Cup track record Saturday to win the pole for the Cheez-It 355 on Sunday, turning a fast lap of 128.241 mph in the No. 9 Ford for Richard Petty Motorsports to easily eclipse the mark of 127.02 set a year ago by Juan Pablo Montoya. It was the 12th track record set this year in qualifying for the new Gen-6 car.

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. – Brad Keselowski’s fondness for Watkins Glen International grew a bit more. The reigning Sprint Cup champion, who had finished second three times in the past two years at The Glen, led 49 laps in the Nationwide Zippo 200 and finally notched his first career road course victory Saturday.

Furyk leads Dufner by 1

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press PITTSFORD, N.Y. – The final moments Saturday at Oak Hill brought out more emotion as big putts kept falling in the PGA Championship, with one big difference.

These putts were for par.

Jim Furyk, after a 3-wood struck so poorly off the 18th tee that he couldn’t have reached the green even if he had been in the fairway, worked his way up the 472-yard hole until he had a 15-foot putt from the fringe to keep a one-shot lead.

The ball curled into the left side of the cup, and the 43-yearold emphatically shook his fist.

Adam Scott, whose sweet swing turned sour on the last few holes, was on the verge of letting the lead get another shot away from him when he knocked in a 15-foot putt for par on the 17th hole, bowed his head and pumped his fist.

And then there was Jason Dufner, whose disappointment turned to surprise on the 18th hole when he took a step toward the cup to tap in a missed putt and watched gravity pull it into the hole for a par that put him in the final group.

Perhaps those scenes were a prelude for Sunday, the final round of the final major of the year.

“It’s only going to get harder,” Furyk said.

Oak Hill finally had enough elements for a tough test, and Furyk showed enough of his western Pennsylvania grit for a 2-under-par 68 and a one-shot lead over Dufner.

Grinding to the end in a swirling wind that cast doubt on so many shots, Furyk closed with two clutch putts – one for birdie to regain the lead, the par putt to keep it – that put him 18 holes away from winning another major 10 years after his U.S. Open title.

There was nothing fancy about the way he worked his way to the top of the leaderboard at 9-under 201, but then, that’s rarely the case with

PGA Championship glance PITTSFORD, N.Y. – A glance at Saturday’s third round of the PGA Championship at 7,163-yard, par-70 Oak Hill Country Club (East Course): Leading: Jim Furyk, who shot 2-under-par 68 and was at 9 under Pursuing: Second-round leader Jason Dufner, who has one shot back Tiger watch: Tiger Woods shot 3-over-par 73 and continued to lose ground and trails the leader by 13 strokes.

Key statistic: Twenty players were under par. In five previous majors at Oak Hill, only nine players have finished in the red (Jack Nicklaus twice).

Noteable: On “Moving Day,” Dustin Johnson made the biggest with a 65, climbing 51 spots; Hunter Mahan shot 78 and fell 48.

Quotable: “Fire a good number and hope it stacks up well.” – Furyk on his plans for the final round TV Sunday: 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., TNT; 1 to 6 p.m., CBS – The Associated Press Furyk. He made three birdies and two tough pars on the back nine, and the one bogey was a bunker shot that hit the pin and rolled 7 feet away.

He was so wrapped up in his game that he didn’t even know the score.

“Give me a leaderboard.

Where are we at?” he asked before he was told he was one shot ahead of Dufner, and two

clear of Henrik Stenson.

“I’m comfortable with where I’m at,” Furyk said.

“There’s a crowded leaderboard at the top, and instead of really viewing it as who is leading and who is not, I’m really viewing it as I need to go out there tomorrow and put together a good, solid round of golf. Fire a good number and hope it stacks up well.”

Early returns on Rienzo promising

By TONI GINNETTI

Sox rally to beat Twins

Chicago Sun-Times CHICAGO – Time will tell if the White Sox’s young arms will lead the way to a turnaround next season.

For now, the man in charge of guiding those arms admits this lost year has been wearing.

“It’s probably the most difficult time that I can remember in the White Sox organization in 27 years,’’ pitching coach Don Cooper said. “That being said, I still enjoy and look forward to coming to the park to do our jobs – my job as the pitching coach and the jobs of the pitchers and the challenges we’re throwing at them to get better.”

Cooper is tutoring a new rotation of young arms in lefthanders Jose Quintana and Hector Santiago and righty Andre Rienzo.

“Rienzo has the package,” Cooper said of the first Brazilian-born pitcher in the majors. “Now we’re looking for more and more strikes with each one of his pitches.

He has the package, and we have to mix that package up well.”

Rienzo, 25, had quality outings in his first two starts, working seven innings without allowing an earned run against the Indians and six innings allowing two runs to the Tigers.

His start Saturday at U.S. Cellular Field wasn’t as sound.

Rienzo worked 5⅓ innings, giving up four runs and seven hits – two of them home runs

CHICAGO – The White Sox have struggled against their AL Central foes, especially the Minnesota Twins.

They caught a break from their losing ways Saturday.

Conor Gillaspie lined a go-ahead single in the sixth inning, and the Sox rallied to beat the Twins, 5-4.

Jordan Danks homered and rookie Andre Rienzo pitched 5⅓ innings in his home debut as the Sox snapped a five-game losing streak against the Twins.

The Sox and closer Addison Reed withstood a final drive by Oswaldo Arcia that left fielder Alejandro De Aza caught at the wall for the final out.

The Sox have won only three of their 11 games against Minnesota this season and will try to split the four-game series Sunday. The Sox are 1333 against the AL Central.

CUBS ANALYSIS

Castillo a silver lining this season

BY GORDON WITTENMYER Chicago Sun-Times ST. LOUIS – It’s not often these days the Cubs get to say they have the best catcher on either roster on a day they play the St. Louis Cardinals.

But that’s how much Welington Castillo has proved to his bosses during this first full season as a big-league starter.

And, well, that also is because Cardinals game-changer Yadier Molina is on the disabled list.

But for one weekend in St. Louis at least, the Cubs can gaze out of the dugout and Welington imagine what Castillo it might look like some day when the Cardinals don’t necessarily have the best player on the field, the better home-grown core, the fuller pipeline of impact prospects on the way.

Castillo is the best inspiration for that vision so far this weekend, helping the Cubs to victories in the first two games of the series against the Cardinals, including a come-from-behind 6-5 triumph Saturday night.

In fact, the way he’s performing this season, Castillo has become the silver lining in the Cubs’ gloomy catching-depth picture in the farm system – a thin-enough position in the organization that general manager Jed Hoyer said Friday the front office plans to make acquiring more catching a priority starting this winter. “[Castillo has] proven to everyone that he’s a frontline defensive catcher,” manager Dale Sveum said. “And the way he’s swung the bat the last 10 days to two weeks – the way he’s been swinging and taking his walks … . His mechanics allow him to be a good hitter, and you’re seeing that start to develop.”

Castillo, 26, has been the Cubs’ best player during the weeklong road trip through Philadelphia and St. Louis that wraps up Sunday.

He reached base three times Friday and scored the

Next at St. Louis, 1:15 p.m. Sunday, WGN, AM-720 first run in a 3-0 victory over the Cards, and then reached base four times Saturday, including a homer in the second inning and a leadoff walk in the Cubs’ comeback eighth. He is 5 for 10 with six walks and twice has been hit by pitches in four starts during the trip.

He also threw out David Freese trying to steal second in the bottom of the second inning, and added a sacrifice fly in the fifth.

He is 16 for 38 (.421) with five extra-base hits since July 25. Maybe as important: He has struck out only six times in those 14 games after averaging close to a strikeout a game most of the season.

“We throw a lot at that kid, and he’s come a long way,” Sveum said. “There ain’t nobody better blocking the ball than he is. Obviously, he can throw. The way he calls games, there’s no question he’s a front-line catcher.”

And it’s no accident he tends to play some of his best baseball against the Cardinals, with his favorite defensive player, Molina, on the other side.

“He’s one of the best in the business. Why not learn from him?” said Castillo, whose coaching this year has included game film of Molina.

“Everyone knows how good he is,” Castillo said. “I love competition. I love to see him do things, and it’s like I want to do better than him, that kind of stuff.”

But it’s all part of the bigger picture, says the guy who by virtue of his critical position alone will have more to say about that big picture than most Cubs.

A big picture Castillo sees staring back at him every time the Cubs play the Cardinals.

“We’ve got to be like them,” he said, “and better than them one day.”

ST. LOUIS – Pinch-hitter Dioner Navarro hit a run-scoring double in the eighth inning to cap a three-run rally, and the Cubs beat the Cardinals, 6-5, on Saturday night to win a series in St. Louis for the first time in nearly three years.

Matt Holliday homered twice for St. Louis, which lost its fourth in a row. The Cubs won for the third time in four games.

The Cubs trailed 4-2 entering the eighth, but tied it at 4 on Darwin Barney’s two-out, tworun double by off reliever Trevor Rosenthal (1-3). Navarro followed with his fifth pinchhit RBI of the season to give the Cubs a 5-4 lead.

Blake Parker (1-1) picked up the victory for the Cubs, who last won a series in St. Louis on Sept. 13-15, 2010.

Welington Castillo homered in the second to give the Cubs a 1-0 lead.

Castillo and Nate Schierholtz drew leadoff walks to start the eighth. Rosenthal struck out the next two batters before Barney hit his 20th double of the season.

Kevin Gregg picked up his 25th save in 29 opportunities despite giving up Holliday’s 15th homer of the season, a solo shot with one out in the ninth. Gregg retired the final two batters on ground outs.

Collins picks up slack for Melton after concussion

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@shawmedia.com Defensive tackle Nate Collins’ career with the Bears didn’t get off to a great start in 2012 when he was suspended for the first four games of the season. He appeared in only nine games on the year and made 11 tackles.

Thus far, 2013 has been a much different and positive start for Collins, and it Nate Collins was on display in the preseason opener Friday night in Charlotte, N.C. With Amobi Okoye and Israel Idonije – who would slide inside on some downs – both gone, Collins, who was re-signed March 14, should see a bigger role, and he continued his solid training camp against the Panthers.

After Henry Melton left with a concussion, Collins entered the game and recorded a sack, getting great interior penetration. He also paired with linebacker Lance Briggs on a tackle for loss and finished the game tied with linebacker Khaseem Greene with four tackles to lead the team.

“Nate has a little quickness to him; he’s got a little burst,” Melton said about his backup July 26. “He’s pretty

The “changeup” appears to keep the D-line hum ming, even with Melton out.

He will be the first interior lineman up off the bench this season and played in 35 snaps against Carolina, the second-most on the defense.

Collins is part of some impressive depth up the middle.

Corvey Irvin is on his fourth team in four years, but he also has played well in camp. He stopped Kenjon Barner for a 2-yard gain Friday and showed the ability to penetrate from the nose tackle during his 28 snaps.

Undrafted rookie Zach Minter pounced on a fumble and also had a solid quarterback hit during his 26 snaps.

Irvin and Minter are fighting to make the roster, while Collins’ spot is locked up. The three showed Friday that defensive coordi-

nator Mel Tucker may be able to breathe a little easier if Melton or Stephen Paea goes down – a contrast to the struggles of the second-team offensive line.

On the other hand, the reserve defensive ends didn’t fare too well on the pass rush.

Kyle Moore and Shea McClellin got plenty of opportunities with Julius Peppers and Corey Wootton both out but didn’t take much advantage.

McClellin, the second-year player who has made some highlight-reel plays in camp, did not appear on the stat sheet in 21 snaps. Moore, the No. 4 end, had two tackles in 28 snaps. Most of the penetration from the Bears’ front came up the gut.

These are not the prime players on the line, but some can use the preseason to solidify a roster spot, and they all can earn extra playing time in the regular season.

not, but Slauson’s ability to back Garza up could free up Williams’ roster spot and allow the Bears to carry an extra tackle.

Trestman’s offense? No. We know Jay Cutler called a few checkdowns from runs to passes, but what else was going on?

This leaves us with my two biggest areas of concern going into the game, the remainders of the offensive line and linebacker corps.

I’m not sure why we’d assume J’Marcus Webb is going to suddenly improve in his fourth season, and I don’t think it should take two or three more preseason games to figure that out. Charles Johnson schooled him in Carolina, and it’s time to move on at right tackle.

The problem is Jonathan Scott remained out with a sore knee and Eben Britton, who was having a good camp, was not impressive against the Panthers. Jordan Mills showed why he belongs on the practice squad this year, and where that leaves the Bears at right tackle is with a real problem.

James Brown and Matt Slauson were OK at the guards, let’s say C+ for each, but Kyle Long has a ton to learn, and his technique and instincts are nowhere near ready for prime time.

It is quite possible that even with Bushrod the offensive line this year will be no more dependable or efficient than it was last year.

That leaves us with the linebackers and, yes, Jonathan Bostic had not just a big play, but the kind that has been the hallmark of this defense. And the first five of Briggs, D.J. Williams, James Anderson, Bostic and Khaseem Greene are more athletic and faster than last year’s group. But this group is nowhere near as good as last year’s was.

Bostic and Greene seem to have the instincts, but you can’t gift or find experience,

RESISTS EVERYTHING but stares

If you’ve been watching closely in Bourbonnais, you may have seen Matt Slauson take reps at center, but they’ve been few and far between.

So imagine my surprise when the first series of the Panthers game for the second-string line featured Slauson at center ahead of Edwin Williams. Offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer and coach Marc Trestman have spoken repeatedly about finding the best five. Could the best five include Slauson at center ahead of Roberto Garza? Almost certainly

The play-by-play of the Panthers game reveals the Bears dropped back to pass 39 times, including five quarterback scrambles, and ran from scrimmage just 14 times. Is that typical for

Fendi Onobun’s poor showing put Steve Maneri and Leonard Pope ahead of him on the tight end radar, but neither was even targeted for a pass in Carolina or showed much blocking.

LEARNING FROM LOSING

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

“You’re down three scores, game’s over, let’s hit the ‘Reset’ button and start again. Everybody wants instant success. That’s not how life is.”

LOSSES WEAR ON COACHES

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com

M

THE GRIND OF LOSING Harvard girls basketball coach John Lally resigned this season after three years in which the Hornets were 9-75.

“I’d be lying to say the [losses] didn’t affect you,” Lally said. “You don’t want to go out and get your head handed to you too often. Pretty much every coach out there does it because we love the game and want to try and foster that love with the girls or the boys you happen to be working with.”

Lally, who plans to coach with the Marengo girls program this season, reminded himself as the losses piled up that he was doing it because he loved sharing his interest in basketball and wanted to spark that feeling in the players.

Kyle Grillot – kgrillot@shawmedia.com

Mike Maloney is in his second year as Johnsburg’s football coach. The team has lost all nine games each of the past two seasons.

Marengo football coach Matt Lynch, who is 10-44 in six seasons with the Indians, tries not to dwell too much on losses right after games. Still, the lack of success stings.

“If it doesn’t eat at you, you’re in the wrong business,” Lynch said. “I’m a competitor. I competed my whole life. If it doesn’t eat at you, what are you doing? Why are you here?”

Former Dundee-Crown girls basketball coach Michelle Russell saw a high and low in a short span of time.

The Chargers were 15-11 and Russell was selected as Northwest Herald Coach of the Year in 2012. They were 4-24 this season and Russell was fired. She joined Huntley girls basketball coach Steve Raethz’s staff this spring.

“It takes a mental toll and it’s really hard to see the girls work so darn hard [and lose],” Russell said. “The fans don’t see the improvement.

The administration doesn’t see that improvement, they just see a loss. It was hard for me to watch because I saw it hurt them. They were so frustrated.”

After Russell’s contract was not renewed, she emailed a letter to D-C athletic director Dick Storm, which was obtained by the Northwest Herald via the Freedom of Information Act. “First of all, I am thankful for you giving me the opportunity to coach at my 2nd home five years ago!” Russell wrote. “I was nervous, but after a few years of getting the hang of it, I finally got my groove and figured things out.

I learned a lot about coaching this year. With a limited talented group we did a lot of different things which in turn taught me a lot. Was truly looking forward to the future of DC. It’s sooo promising!

“I am also beyond saddened for this poor decision that was made! Coaching is not all about wins, although they are more fun, coaching is more about the experiences for the kids! You cannot have a winning season every season. It’s a journey and we teach them how to compete; win or lose my kids [came] to every game to compete.”

SMALL STEPS Russell and others try to impress on their players that they are making progress, but that can be difficult as losses mount.

“Even if you lose, maybe your shooting percentage went up 20 to 25 percent for a game,” she said. “You got better, so that’s the hard part.

You’re proud of them, even when it doesn’t pan out as a ‘W’.”

At Faith Lutheran, wins have been tough to come by for the boys basketball team.

The Saints won seven games last season under coach Aaron Boettjer, which was more than the previous two seasons combined.

Nick Reed, the school’s new boys basketball coach and athletic director, said wins make everything easier.

But the true character of a coach and his or her players emerges when the team gets beat by 40 points and returns the next day for another game.

“I’ve always said to players, ‘When you lose, as long as you take something out of it, it’s not a total loss,’ ”

Losing teaches more than winning • ATHLETES Continued from page C1

Mike Maloney, Johnsburg football coach

ike Maloney played for one of the state’s most storied football programs at Joliet Catholic, where winning was more of an expectation than a hope, and losing simply was unacceptable.

That was the culture for the Hilltoppers, whose 13 state championships are more than any other school in Illinois history.

“The impact of losing where I come from is much more significant than the impact of winning,” Maloney said. “Winning was expected.

It was almost like a relief [to win]. It was a little bit like a weight off my shoulders.”

Maloney played on competitive teams at Illinois, where he was nose tackle for former coach Ron Turner on the Fighting Illini’s 2002 Sugar Bowl team. Maloney now regards winning and losing in a different manner as he heads into his second season as Johnsburg’s head coach.

Maloney, 31, is a large, energetic man with an upbeat attitude. His introductory speech at Johnsburg in April 2012 made a positive impression with players and parents.

Yet his record as a head coach is 0-27 in two seasons at Joliet Central and one with the Skyhawks. He despises losing but realizes as a coach it is part of the process.

“It’s like a father wanting his son or daughter to be successful,” Maloney said.

“You want so much for them, but you can’t do it for them.

My role now is guidance and mentorship. I’m going to get them to understand what it takes to win, and when they do win, they will win because of their effort and commitment. It will not be because of me.”

Nothing in athletics wears down players and coaches like consistently losing.

Winning teams get front-page headlines and capture the imagination of their communities. Losing teams see little glory outside their locker room and occasionally find ridicule, even in their own schools.

Coaches in losing programs have to fight the culture in place to find the recipe for success. If they lose too many games, though, they become ex-coaches or assistants somewhere else.

Marian Central boys basketball coach Curtis Price took his team to back-to-back Class 3A regional championships in 2010 and 2011, the Hurricanes’ first since 1977.

But Marian finished 3-27 and 4-27 each of the past two seasons.

“It kills me mentally because after each and every loss, you go home and you play the ‘What If?’ game,” said Price, who played on highly successful DePaul teams in the early 1990s.

“People think you go home and you fall asleep,” he said.

“You go home and you just spend another three or four hours watching tape and trying to analyze everything and trying to find ways to improve.”

Sunday, August 11, 2013 • Page C9

said Reed, who was Boettjer’s assistant coach. “I tell these kids, ‘Don’t compare yourself to other people. Compare yourself to who you were yesterday.’ ” Maloney thinks showing the players they are making progress without winning may be the toughest part about losing.

“I’m not a big moral victory guy, I’m really not,” Maloney said. “But, when you see a team be able to do some significant things on the field that they hadn’t been able to do at the beginning of the year, as a coach, you step back and reflect on that and say you’ve accomplished something.”

The trick is getting 15- to 18-year-olds to believe that when they hear criticism from any number of places.

Johnsburg had one of its most successful seasons in 2010 but was winless the year before Maloney arrived.

“I talked to our leaders this spring, the juniors who will be seniors, and said, ‘Look at where we are now,’ ” Maloney said. “ ‘You cannot tell me there’s not a significant difference in not only participation, but attitude, effort, how people carry themselves and just expectations.’

The discipline and training is like night and day from where it was when I first got here. That’s not me, that’s the kids buying into the message that I’m sending.”

BENEFITS OF TEAM Some athletes’ teams will win more games in one season than others will in their high school career, but coaches believe just competing offers positive experiences.

“The biggest thing you get out of it is you learn how tough you are as a person,” Price said. “Do you give up and say, ‘Forget it, I’m not going to ever win’? Or do you keep going and keep trying to fight? The easiest thing for anyone to do is quit.”

The hardest thing, he said, is to keep trying. That will help them later in life when adversity comes, and they are able to fight through it and have the ability to succeed.

Maloney refers to the video-game mentality. “You’re down three scores, game’s over, let’s hit the ‘Reset’ button and start again,’’ he said. ‘’Everybody wants instant success. That’s not how life is.”

Lynch says there is a lot to be learned, regardless of outcomes on the field. Wins and losses aren’t important, he said, but the relationships built and experiences had are.

So are learning to deal with adversity, and learning how set – and then accomplish – a goal.

Maloney likes that football can put athletes in new situations – like socially uncomfortable situations – to handle.

“In sports, it’s all about getting young men to go outside their comfort zone and do things they’re not comfortable physically or mentally or emotionally doing for the good of the group,” Maloney said. “Unfortunately, in society, stepping outside your realm is not being pushed on young people today.”

• Meghan Montemurro and Tom Musick contributed to this report.

Along the way came high-fives and orange slices and pictures pressed against frames.

Then came varsity. Then came defeat.

“Fifth through eighth grade, we beat everyone,” said Maycee Ward, a senior on Johnsburg’s girls basketball team. “Once we hit high school, it was kind of an eye-opener. It was like, ‘Oh. These teams are beating us.

We’re not really used to this whole failure thing.’ ” At Marian and many other schools across the county, athletes deal with similar lessons.

“We kept saying, ‘Well this is going to change. It’s not going to stay like this,’ ” Haley said. “And it kept happening and happening. And it’s like, ‘Wow. Something’s wrong here.’ ” It was hard to stay positive in the Hurricanes’ locker room – and easy to point fingers.

Way to miss the winning shot.

Way to fall down on defense.

Way to dribble the ball off your foot.

“There’s a lot of egos,” said Wyatt Lindell, a Marian junior. “Mine is probably the biggest.

“There were little confrontations. Stuff got a little heated in the locker room, but that’s just being on a team.

You expect it when you go through something tough.”

By the middle of the season, the Hurricanes had reached a tipping point. As the losses piled up, Haley said many people on the team – including him – got a sense of giving up.

Heated moments are tough. Quiet ones might be tougher.

Ward said the bus ride home is the worst part: On the way there, everyone is fired up. After a loss, no one talks.

“Having to deal with that – knowing that we have to get over it and we have to put it behind us – is one of the harder things to do,” Ward said.

Monica Maschak – mmaschak@shawmedia.com

Marian Central’s Derrick Caldez said it hurt to hear fellow students criticize his team. everyone was like, ‘Oh, are you finally going to be good at basketball this year?’ ” Haley said. “Because they want football to be great and they want the next sport to be great and on and on.”

As the losses piled up, those not playing basketball started telling the team they didn’t want to be associated with them.

“That was really hard to hear: the people that you see every day at school just telling you straight up with no emotion that you’re awful.

That hurts the most,” Haley said.

“But that’s also one of the most motivating things that you hear as a team. Because when I heard that, the first thing that I wanted to do was go to practice. And just work.

Work, work, work.”

For teams with losing records, that work often goes unnoticed.

Players notice empty bleachers. The lack of support can set the tone for a flat performance. Although Ward said parents usually are in the stands, that’s not always the support they are looking for.

“Because your parents have to say you did a good job and all that stuff,” she said. “But coming from your student body and kids you go to school with every day, kids your age, it feels more special in a way coming from them.

“With us not having that, I feel like when we’re down, we’re down. There’s nothing to pump us up.”

HIDDEN VICTORIES KIDS IN THE HALL It’s one thing when teammates bicker over shared losses. It’s quite another when a classmate rips on you and your teammates in the hallway or the cafeteria – especially when that classmate didn’t see you train so hard during the offseason, or see you hit the deck during practice and bounce back up.

“Yeah, we got that,” said Derrick Caldez, a senior point guard for Marian. “We had to defend our team. There would be kids at school saying how we weren’t good.

“It hurt us, but we had to get through it.”

At Marian, the football team won 11 consecutive games before losing against bitter rival Montini in the Class 5A playoffs. Students shifted their focus to basketball. And before long, critics were squeaking like sneakers against hardwood.

“Before the season,

It’s painful to lose.

It’s also really important.

“Losing teaches so much more about our character than winning does,” said Jeffrey Fishbein, a licensed clinical psychologist who has worked with athletes from middle school to Major League Baseball. “Because we experience so many forms of losses as we age.

“Learning at a younger age to deal with loss, whether it’s on the playing field or off the field, is very important.

It’s part of one’s development.

It’s part of one’s maturity.”

Tieman has heard that message from his coaches after tough losses at Faith Lutheran. Before joining the Saints’ basketball team, he wasn’t used to dealing with failure. He is expected to be the school’s valedictorian next spring.

It was hard to listen to those messages, he said, because he sometimes wanted to

just wallow in his misery.

“Now that I have lost a lot, I feel like losing is an important aspect of [growing up],” Tieman said. “I might not always get the job. I might not get the promotion. I might not get the first thing I want.

Someone else might beat me to it.”

At Marian, Caldez said he and his teammates learned to communicate in pressure-filled situations that extended beyond the classroom.

When someone got frustrated, other players would tell him to keep going – and not give up.

“Because we don’t want to lose one of our teammates,” he said. “Outside of basketball, we’re still really close to each other. And we didn’t want to lose any really close friends.”

Nobody quit. Mark it down as a victory without a box score.

SEEKING RESULTS Here’s one of the best things about losing: not losing.

“It also allows for athletes to appreciate the luxury of winning,” Fishbein said.

“Because as we know here in Chicago, winning doesn’t happen so easily all of the time.”

No kidding.

At Marian, the Hurricanes overcame midseason conflicts to post a 15-point win against Guerin Prep and a 14-point win against Harvard in the first game of regional playoffs.

Faith Lutheran beat Harvest Christian with a last-second shot.

“That was just the best feeling ever because they’re one of our biggest rivals,” Tieman said. “To win that game felt so good. I was happy about that for probably like the next week.”

Yes, losing offers valuable lessons. But nobody is volunteering for a refresher course.

“I think it helped us grow as a team,” said Ward, who is slated to be a co-captain this season. “We have to go into every game knowing that we can win this game.”

Same goes for the Hurricanes.

“I’m very excited for this next season,” Haley said. “I think there’s going to be great things coming for Marian Central. And I really do think we’re going to surprise a lot of people.”

An inspirational turnaround would make for a great story.

But it might not happen.

Then what?

The important thing then, Fishbein said, is for players to remember they made a commitment to a process – and that process should not be defined by wins and losses per se at the high school level.

“The process should be defined as more of the journey that is high school sports, the ups and downs that come along with that and all of the dynamics associated with it,” he said.

In other words, the commitment is the challenge.

Keeping the commitment is the victory.

“Everyone asks me ‘What’s your favorite beer?’ My favorite beer is a beer right out of the tap from a craft brewery.”

Curt Ames, owner of Chain O’ Lakes Brewing Co.

RV industry on the move in Huntley More families are hitting the road in a recreational vehicle.

The Recreational Vehicle Industry Association recently reported the number of RV-owning households in the United States has increased to a record 9 million, and roughly 40 percent of these have children who are 18 years old or younger.

At General RV Ceneter in Huntley, sales have grown 10 to 20 percent each of the past three years, despite being in the middle of a war zone, also known as the Route 47/ Interstate 90 interchange project.

“Once the tollway project is complete, I think the floodgates will open,” said Keith Lessner, General RV operations manager.

The RV dealership is planning a $500,000 expansion to its existing recreational sales/service facility to include a 4.57 acre tract to the north. The proposed expansion includes a 13,240-square-foot, 10-bay recreational vehicle service building including office space and restrooms.

RV owners aged 35 to 54 posted the largest gains in ownership rates, rising to 11.2 percent in 2011 from 9 percent in 2005, according to the RVIA’s RV Consumer Demographic Profile.

RV buyers in the 35-to-54 age group have posted the largest ownership growth, rising to 11.2 percent in 2011 from 9 percent in 2005, outpacing so-called “empty-nesters,” according to the RVIA’s RV Consumer Demographic Profile.

RIVA reported wholesale recreation vehicle shipments increased 12.8 percent in the first six months of 2013. Shipments for all of 2013 are projected to total 309,800 units, an increase of 8.4 percent from 2012.

This growth projects an 87 percent increase from the RV industry’s recession low in 2009, and would mark the first time shipments surpassed 300,000 units since 2007. Shipments in 2014 are predicted to rise another 4 percent from the 2013 total.

RV sales tend to reflect the levels of disposable income throughout the country. Americans tend to buy non-essential and big-ticket items when they aren’t afraid of their financial futures.

The study, prepared for Recreation Vehicle Industry Association

by PKF Consulting USA, a member of an international travel and tourism consulting group, found RV travel is 23-to-59 percent less expensive than other types of vacations for a family of four that owns an RV. For an “empty-nester” couple traveling by RV, savings were 11 to 46 percent.

Even after accounting for factors such as RV ownership costs and fuel prices, the study claims RV vacations offer greater savings than those taken using a car or airline, staying in a hotel, rental house or condominium, and eating in restaurants.

While RV ownership is on the rise, the RV and camper rental industry has struggled during the past five years, with revenue declining at an annual rate of 4.4 percent.

RV rental industry revenue grew in 2012 thanks to renewed consumer confidence, but it is expected to fall again in 2013.

This is because of volatile gas prices deterring customers from this mode of travel, according to IBISWorld industry anaylst Natalie Everett.

Many of those who still chose rental RVs for their road trips downgraded to smaller, less expensive models or took shorter trips in order to afford an RV vacation.

Owner Curt Ames (right) smells hops with Rob Tesmer at the Chain O’ Lakes Brewing Co. in McHenry. The microbrewery first opened during Fiesta Days, though a grand opening is planned for Aug. 24.

Tapping history Chain O’ Lakes Brewing Co. opens in McHenry

By CYNTHIA WOLF editorial@nwherald.com McHENRY – As Curt and Linda Ames transformed the interior at 3425 Pearl St. in McHenry, passersby couldn’t contain their curiosity.

And when those passersby learned the Ameses aimed to make it a microbrewery and tap room, many couldn’t contain their enthusiasm.

Out from garages, attics and basements soon emerged signs, photos, even written narratives – all relating to the building’s 1860s origins.

“Vince Sossong sent me an email and said ‘Curt, I have an old sign in my garage and I’d like to give it to you,’” Curt Ames said, pointing to a vintage metal sign with white lettering on a red background that says “McHenry Beer” on one line, and in smaller lettering underneath, “Since 1861.”

McHenry Landmark Commission member and local historian Pat Wirtz and others also provided items to the new business owners, whose soft opening of the Chain O’ Lakes Brewing Co. drew hundreds during Fiesta Days.

A grand opening is set for Aug. 24.

In recent years, 3425 Pearl St. was home to the short-lived Green Pearl Bistro and previously the Whale’s Tail restaurant.

But its most enduring label was the McHenry Brewery, purveyors of McHenry Beer and, at one time, Buffalo Beer. The brewery remained active beyond prohibition and well into the mid-20th century.

For Curt and Linda Ames, the building’s history, coupled with an opportunity to buy it at auction for $200,000, clinched the deal.

“I’ve been home brewing since the late ’80s,” said Curt Ames, a retired colonel of the U.S. Marine Corps who grew up in the

Pistakee Lake area. He now resides in Johnsburg with Linda and their daughters, Sarah, 10, and Caroline, 8, who have designed labels for the root beer and cream ale the Ameses also plan to produce.

Ames said for nearly 30 years he has been researching and dreaming of starting a microbrewery, and eyed the former McHenry Brewery building since at least 2010.

He credited the Shah Center, McHenry Bank & Trust, a cooperative, supportive city staff and mayor, and a Patriots Express

Small Business Administration loan for helping to kick-start the brewery.

He plans to brew about 300 barrels of craft beer with the company’s eightbarrel system during the first year. Eventually, he hopes to produce about 750 barrels a year.

Helping with the endeavor will be about five employees, including Rob Tesmer of Crystal Lake, a recent Eastern Illinois University graduate who aspires to be a master brewer.

The tap room will offer $5 flights of four craft beers.

It also will sell 64-ounce

The beer on tap will be craft types such as India pale, scotch and amber ales. Chiefly, it will be fresh, flavorful, unfiltered and unpasteurized, the owners said.

“Everyone asks me ‘What’s your favorite beer?’” Curt Ames said.

“My favorite beer is a beer right out of the tap from a craft brewery.”

8BUSINESS ROUNDUP MCC offers new web development program CRYSTAL LAKE – McHenry County College is offering a web development certificate program.

This newly state-approved program is offered on Saturdays.

Medical marijuana law has limits in the workplace The passage of House Bill 1 earlier this month has far-reaching implications that will impact everything from traffic law to the regulations governing how to cultivate, dispense, and obtain cannabis when the law goes into effect Jan. 1.

Included within the gamut of this new law is how businesses and employers will be affected by the legislation.

A primary concern is to what extent businesses can regulate possession or use of medical marijuana on the business premises. The bill provides that private businesses can prohibit the medical “use” of cannabis on their property by anyone, and landlords can prohibit the “smoking” of cannabis on leased property.

Employers also are allowed to maintain and enforce zero tolerance and drug-free workplace policies with their employees. And despite some ambiguous language in other sections of the new law, the bill states the new law would not give an employee a legal cause of action

Business Law Brad Stewart against an employer who acted on a “good faith belief” the employee used or possessed cannabis at work in violation of company policy.

As such, there is nothing in the bill that would restrict an employer from outright prohibiting the use or possession of cannabis by its employees while working.

There are also provisions that would allow an employer to discipline an employee who is not properly performing job functions due to being under the influence of medically prescribed and legally obtained cannabis. A major caveat is employers must still be careful to not have policies or other employment practices that would be considered discriminatory against employees who are legally licensed to use medical marijuana.

While what constitutes discrimi-

nation is not clearly defined, as with other legal contexts, any policy that singles out medicinal cannabis use or would be seen as an intentional effort to fire or not hire people who are licensed under the bill to use cannabis would likely be considered discrimination and against the law.

Another caution is that people who are eligible to obtain and use medical marijuana generally have serious health conditions for which the employee may be considered to have a legal disability.

Even though the bill gives a wide berth to employers to maintain and enforce drug policies, this bill does not preempt all other employment law. Employers should consider potential overlap with other laws, such as the American with Disabilities Act, and seek legal counsel before making changes to policies in light of this new bill.

Employers will likely have some time to consider their options in addressing medical cannabis in the workplace. Despite the bill becom-

ing effective the beginning of 2014, several state departments – including the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Professional and Financial Regulation, the Department of Health, and the State Police – must implement procedures and coordinate efforts before the first cultivation and dispensing centers can be established. A quick turnaround time to coordinate all of the necessary requirements is several months, based on other states that have implemented medical marijuana laws.

For those entrepreneurs considering getting into the business of cultivating or dispensing cannabis, there are a few requirements beyond that of starting or operating any other business.

The bill provides several registration requirements, including background checks of all personnel and corporate officers/directors, security measures (which have to be approved by the state police for cultivation centers), and several

other requirements that will be set out by some of the state departments previously mentioned.

There is also a limit to how many licenses will be issued to operate cultivation centers and dispensaries. There can be no more than 22 cultivation centers in the state (one in each state police district), which means that there can only be one center in the region comprising DeKalb, DuPage, Kane, Lake and McHenry counties.

Dispensary licenses are similarly limited to 60 spread throughout the state, so as to provide any resident with license to use medical marijuana a reasonable means to obtain legal cannabis.

CRYSTAL LAKE – SERVPRO franchise owners receiving the President’s Bronze Award at the company’s 44th annual National Convention in Anaheim, Calif., were Robert Hammerschmidt, owner of SERVPRO of Southern McHenry County, and Robert Kubat, owner of SERVPRO of Northeast McHenry County.

Investor pushes for Penney chairman to go The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – The battle over J.C. Penney’s future just got uglier.

Activist investor Bill Ackman said Friday he has lost confidence in J.C. Penney’s board and its chairman should be replaced.

The statement adds more fuel to an unusually public squabble between Ackman, whose company Pershing Square Capital has a nearly 18 percent stake in the company, and the rest of J.C. Penney’s board.

The disagreement is over how long it will take to find a new CEO for J.C. Penney. Ackman says the process should take 30 to 45 days. The board has said CEO Mike Ullman is the right person for the job for now.

In a lengthy letter to the board, Ack-

man complained that Chairman Thomas Engibous didn’t call a proper meeting to discuss his views that J.C. Penney’s search process should be speeded up.

“Boards must have the ability to deliberate openly amongst one another so that all points of view can be adequately discussed,” he said. “By not calling a meeting, Tom prevented the board from properly functioning and fulfilling its fiduciary duties.”

He also questioned the board’s hiring and firing practices and “aggressive” inventory purchases.

Ackman has suggested former CEO Allen Questrom should replace Engibous. Questrom said Thursday that he would rejoin the company but not under a hostile board situation and only if he agreed with the choice of the next CEO. Ullman, who had been Penney’s CEO

from 2004 to 2011, took back the reins in April. He took over from Ron Johnson, who was supported by Ackman but was ousted after 17 months on the job after his radical makeover of the chain led to disastrous massive losses and sales declines.

Ullman has been working to stabilize the business by bringing back basic merchandise and more frequent sales that were eliminated by Johnson in a bid to attract younger, hipper customers. But many analysts believe that while traffic is improving, there has been no evidence of a turnaround yet as the company heads into the bulk of the critical back-to-school shopping period.

Even the home area, which was Johnson’s project and features a slew of trendy new names like Jonathan Adler and Michael Graves, has failed to resonate with shoppers, analysts say.

Dear Dave, Do you think having cancer insurance is a good idea?

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey

– Brittany

Dear Brittany, No, I don’t believe buying cancer insurance is a good idea.

However, I do believe everyone needs health insurance. If you have a good health policy in place, it’s going to cover you in the event you’re diagnosed with cancer.

Lots of insurance companies offer these policies because cancer is such a scary thing.

It’s a hot-button topic, and many people have lost friends and relatives to cancer. I don’t believe in cancer policies though.

You need a good emergency fund of three to six months of expenses, long-term disability coverage and a solid health insurance plan.

My favorite health plan, and what I use personally, is the Health Savings Account (HSA).

With an HSA you have money sitting there to cover some of the ancillary things.

Most cancer policies won’t cover alternative treatments and things like that, and lots of them are income policies, meaning they replace a portion of your income, but that’s what disability insurance is for.

Dear Dave, I moved to New Orleans four years ago for a job. I was let go and found a government job pretty quickly, but I’m ready for a change of pace.

I’m thinking about using my two weeks of vacation to move and find something different in Austin, Texas. I have a little cash saved, but how much savings should I have in place for something like this?

– Montgomery

Dear Montgomery, What you’re describing may have sounded fun and cool to me when I was 20.

But I made lots of really dumb mistakes back then, and it’s definitely not the way I would handle things now.

Austin is a fantastic city.

It’s booming, the people are great and it’s only about a day’s drive from New Orleans. But going over there cold turkey with nothing but a little money in your pocket isn’t a good idea.

In other words, I’m not going to give you permission to

be impulsive and unwise.

If I were you, I’d take those two weeks of vacation, go to Austin, and see if I could line up a job. In addition to that, use every waking moment you’re not at work to scour job listings in and around Austin.

Even if it’s an interim kind of thing or two parttime jobs, at least then you wouldn’t have to burn through all of your cash.

Montgomery, this is the very same advice I’d give my own son if he called me in this situation.

I love that you’re taking charge of your life and looking to make things happen.

Just make sure you use a little wisdom and some planning in the process.

Never jump off the dock before the ship has arrived!

– Dave

Put Negative Resume Feedback to Work

By Kim Isaacs, Monster Resume Expert Were you gung ho to receive a resume critique but are now faced with a seemingly insurmountable list of suggested changes? If you’re feeling overwhelmed, follow these tips to get your resume on track.

Consider the Source

Sweeney advises job seekers to avoid getting defensive when faced with criticism and take time to absorb the feedback. She recommends studying job postings to identify the credentials employers find desirable, comparing your findings to the resume advice received and incorporating changes to your resume that show how you meet or exceed employers’ requirements.

Don’t Take It Personally

Critiques from professional resume writers or hiring managers in your industry should be given careful consideration. But if you’ve received negative feedback from a friend who is unfamiliar with your field or whose last job search coincided with the market launch of the Rubik’s Cube, consider the source, and seek out additional opinions.

Absorb the Feedback “What I have found in more than 19 years in the resume-writing business is that job seekers get overwhelmed by the feedback,” says Kathy Sweeney, a resume writer and president of the nonprofit National Resume Writers’ Association. Even with detailed recommendations, job seekers can find it challenging to incorporate suggestions, she adds.

“Honest criticism is hard to take, especially from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance or a stranger,” author Franklin P. Jones once joked. But there’s truth to this statement. Keep in mind why you asked for feedback in the first place. It wasn’t to bask in praise but to collect solid, constructive advice.

“Writing an outstanding resume is not something that is taught in schools,” observes Sweeney.

So don’t be too hard on yourself.

“Resume-speak” is a unique form of written communication, and even accomplished writers can find it challenging to convey their achievements on paper.

Daniel Drubin, PhD, author of

ative feedback on your resume is not the same thing as negative feedback on you as a person.

“Your resume may tell what you have done but does not necessarily indicate the quality of your character,” Drubin explains.

“The better you feel about who you are, the less sensitive you will be to the opinions of others.”

Let Go of the Past Most job seekers are grateful to have spelling or grammatical errors detected, and these are usually easy fixes. But criticisms of your resume’s content can be tougher to digest.

For example, a systems analyst spent months on a Y2K readiness project and gave it top billing in her resume. Her resume reviewer suggested she omit the project, because it is not as relevant as her more recent accomplishments. The job seeker invested hundreds of hours on this project, so it was hard for her to accept this advice.

Drubin calls this letting go of your “rotten bananas” -- overcoming barriers hindering your success by moving beyond the past and finding the courage to make changes. “You let go of your rotten resume bananas by living in the ‘now,’” he says.

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - Take advantage of any opportunities to increase your knowledge in your chosen field of endeavor in the coming months. Although finding time to study might be quite difficult, it will prove worth it in the long run.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Though you are likely to be an “old softy” today, to achieve anything of significance, you might have to be a bit more thick-skinned than usual. Try to find a balance between nice and efficient.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It isn’t likely that you will appreciate being told what to do and when and how to do it, so it’s best

to avoid associates who always try to impose their ways on you. Defuse conflicts before they start.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Someone you know socially could turn out to be a pretty tough customer when engaged in business. Limit your expectations about getting any “great deals” from him or her, and don’t take anything personally.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If you’re negotiating a matter of considerable importance, it might be wise to have a capable someone serve as a buffer. You may not do so well one-on-one.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If some of your assignments and responsibilities are being rearranged, don’t volunteer to take on more than you can handle. You’ll be much more help if you’re realistic.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If the root cause of your discomfort has yet to be eradicated, try to avoid a group in which certain members make you feel uneasy. If you don’t, your problem will only grow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don’t rely on Lady Luck to bail you out of choppy waters. Instead of rooting for you, she might help others trip you up even more. It would be

better to rely on your own resources.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Forgo any temptations to boast about or exaggerate your accomplishments. Instead of looking good in the eyes of others, you might achieve just the opposite.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Financial mistakes could have a larger price than you’re prepared to pay, so you may need to be especially careful when it comes to your money.

Don’t take any risks.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Usually, you appreciate the value of compromise and the wisdom of making concessions. Today,

however, you might dig in on an issue that deeply moves you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Go ahead and extend a helping hand to someone, but don’t let a clever manipulator use your gesture against you. Time and thought must be devoted to your interests as well.

CANCER (June 21- July 22) -- Your thinking might not be as clear as usual. For some reason, you might take certain trivial things far too seriously, while treating serious matters too indifferently.

Kudos to these boomer ‘teachers’ Soon our children and grandchildren will be heading back to school.

It’s a new school year, and although we will not be popping corks from champagne bottles, we have something to celebrate.

The kids might complain a bit, but most will be excited about seeing friends and being one of the big (or, at least, bigger) kids who looked down at them during the last school year.

So, it is off to the shopping center to get the necessities: A new backpack, a new outfit or two, a sturdy pair of gym shoes, paper, pencils, notebooks, art supplies, etc.

But kids and their families are not alone in gearing up for the new year. The teachers already have a jump start. Many are visiting their classrooms weeks before the first period bell rings. With them will come boxes and bags, things they have bought (often with their own money) to decorate their rooms and provide welcoming surprises for their children. Yes. They are their children, too.

In honor of the teachers, my husband and I recently visited with a Woodstock native who teaches at Hannah Beardsley Middle School in Crystal Lake.

Ann Min is a veteran with 39 years of experience with middle schoolers. She is a master teacher, literally and figuratively. After her first 25 years, she was looking for a new challenge and began the rigorous process of becoming a National Board Certified Teacher. This is not something she had to do. It is some-

Ann and David Min. thing she wanted to do so she could do her very best to the classroom every day. As part of this process, teachers must analyze their teaching content and students’ needs, submit videos of their teaching and provide student samples that demonstrate growth and achievement. The reflective analysis required must show a strong command of content, ability to design appropriate learning experiences, ability to use assessments to inform instructional decision making and partnership with colleagues, parents and communities.

Ann retired from full-time teaching two years ago and now specializes in doing longterm subbing. Her years of experience make her qualified to step into the gap when a teacher is forced to take a prolonged time away from the classroom.

I asked her how teaching

has evolved over the past several decades which, of course, brought up the subject of computerization.

As a science and math teacher, technology is right up Ann’s alley. But she also sounds a cautionary note. Relying too much on technology has kept many students from learning mental discipline.

There is still a place in education for memorizing multiplication tables and using flashcards. If computers rescue them from thinking for themselves, their full potential is not met. So, on the one hand, Ann would like every child to have a tablet sized computer in the classroom.

But, on the other hand, the goal is to use these tools to help rather than hinder the child’s capacity to think.

Ann’s husband, David, is a dentist who owns a practice at 651 West Terra Cotta Ave., Crystal Lake. We could easily

see how the two of them are a match for each other. David pointed out that as dentistry has changed over the years, he has become more and more a teacher himself.

With advancements in the ways to maintain dental health, his job is less one of repairing bad teeth and more a job of teaching people how to maximize their dental health.

Did you know 60 years ago the average number of teeth for an American was only eight?

Today, it is 18 and increasing.

As he talked about his dental practice, it became clear David has a holistic view. He recognizes how dental health has a positive effect on other aspects of physical health as well as on psychological health. How many dentists do you know who have an appreciation and knowledge of the theories of famous psychologists?

I was particularly interested in learning Ann and David followed their career paths largely because they recognized the contribution teachers and (in David’s case) dental professionals played in their lives. Their common passion now is to give to others what once was given to them – not just an ability to multiply or having a bright smile, but a better and fuller life.

So, hats off to Ann and David, and to all the teachers out there.

Toasted Parmesan Tomato Bread AP photo

Let tomatoes shine

By J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press Obviously, the season has a role in this, but lately I’ve found myself craving bread and fresh tomatoes.

It’s a combination with a history for me. When I was a kid, my go-to summer sandwich – and I always made it for myself because I was the only one who could make it right – was slabs of whole-wheat bread smeared thickly with Miracle Whip and topped with hunks of extra-sharp cheddar cheese and a single, think slab of tomato.

The slab had to be at least 1 inch thick and had to be cut from the center of the fruit. No ends or tops, please.

It was heaven. Rich and creamy and sharp and fresh. To this day, that sandwich remains a comfort food I return to. Usually around midnight.

By the time I was a tween, my family had moved to Germany and weekends were spent driving around various parts of Europe. We called it eating our way through the continent, for dining and planning on dining did seem to occupy much of our time. But no matter where we were, lunch always followed the same template.

We’d stop at a small, local bakery and grab a heavy loaf of rustic bread. Then on to a grocer for tomatoes, a hunk of cheese and a jar of blisteringly hot mustard. Then we’d find a park and sit down with our spread, tearing off hunks of bread, dabbing them with mustard and topping them with ragged chunks of cheese and slices of tomato. It was a wonderfully delicious way to explore the different cuisines. The breads and cheeses vary so much between regions.

Now that I’m an adult and have a child of my own, I don’t find myself wandering Europe during weekends quite so much. I’d actually be happy just to get out to a movie now and then. But I still crave – particu-

larly this time of year – the simple pleasure of bread and tomato. So I decided to create a grown-up version, rich with garlic and rosemary. But the focus, as it should be, remains on the bread and tomatoes.

Toasted Parmesan Tomato Bread Start to finish: 15 minutes Servings: 4 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 large sprig fresh rosemary, finely chopped 1/4 cup olive oil 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt Ground black pepper 4 large, thick slices sourdough bread 4 large tomatoes 3 ounces Parmesan cheese Heat the oven to broil.

In a small, sturdy bowl, combine the garlic, rosemary, olive oil, salt and black pepper, to taste. Mix well, then use the back of a heavy spoon to mash the garlic and rosemary together to form a paste.

This also can be done using a mortar and pestle, or a mini food processor. The rosemary won’t mash well; this is fine.

Spread a quarter of the mixture over one side of each slice of bread.

Slice 2 thick slabs out of the center of each tomato. Reserve the tops and bottoms of the tomatoes for another use. Set 2 slabs over each piece of bread. Shave some of the Parmesan over the tomatoes on each slice. Set the assembled bread on a baking sheet and broil on the oven’s middle rack until the cheese is just starting to brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

Summer is the season of inviting friends over for impromptu barbecues and last-minute, casual get-togethers. That means it’s also the season of cringing when you realize your house is in no condition to be seen by the guests who will be arriving any minute now.

On summer evenings, “my husband will invite people over after golf,” interior designer Mallory Mathison said. “He’ll call and say, ‘We’ll all be there in 30 minutes.’ ” That’s when she begins rushing around, quickly prepping their home for the soon-to-arrive guests.

What’s the best way to use that half-hour or so before the doorbell rings to get even the messiest home party-ready? Try breaking it down like this:

1.

10 minutes of cleaning

“Most people don’t mind clutter,” said Evette Rios, a lifestyles blogger and a correspondent on ABC’s “The Chew.” “But they mind grime.”

So focus on wiping surfaces in your kitchen and bathrooms.

Then grab an old sock or pair of pantyhose and use that to quickly dust surfaces in your living room and dining room. Save time by only cleaning the rooms guests will enter, suggests Donna Smallin, founder of unclutter.com. And don’t feel obligated to give anyone a fullscale tour of your home.

Got dishes in the sink? There’s no time to wash them, so Smallin suggests keeping an empty bin available for stashing dirty dishes under your sink. Or stash them in the oven, assuming you won’t use it during the party.

If you have carpets, a minute of quick vacuuming in major traffic areas can make a difference, Rios said, especially if you sprinkle on a bit of carpet deodorizer.

2.

10 minutes hiding clutter

Walk through all the rooms where guests will be and collect any clutter in an empty laundry basket, Smallin said.

Stash the basket in a bedroom and close the door. If all that household clutter is collected in one place, it will be easier the next day to deal with it all and not lose track of anything.

Once major clutter has been removed, Smallin said, go through the rooms and stack remaining items neatly. Magazines look much better in a neat stack, for example, than in a messy pile.

Pay attention to your home’s entryway, which makes a first

impression, and to areas where guests will spend the most time.

3.

10 minutes of finishing touches

Scenting your space is fast, easy and has a huge impact, Rios said. She suggests placing a drop of lemon-scented oil or vanilla extract on light bulbs, then turning them on. The warmth will spread the scent throughout your home.

Mathison suggests lighting a few candles for their scent and flickering party atmosphere.

Other ways to add a fresh scent: Rios likes to tuck scented fabric softener sheets underneath couch cushions or inside throw pillows.

If you have a kitchen garbage disposal, she suggests dropping slices of lemon or lime into it and running it for just a moment.

Mathison recommends filling a basket with cuttings from your garden. It makes an instant centerpiece for a dining table, whether it includes flowers or just fresh greenery.

Then, scan your refrigerator and pantry for things to serve. It’s fine to be preparing and putting out food and drinks after your guests have arrived, but it’s best to do the initial “what am I going to serve?” scrambling without an audience.

Mathison always keeps a few blocks of cheese and some thinly sliced prosciutto on hand, as well as a dessert that’s ready to serve.

She also suggests keeping extra drinks (bottled water, soft drinks and wine or beer) on hand.

Lastly, Mathison said, take 30 seconds to brush your hair, breathe deeply and lighten your mood after rushing around cleaning and preparing. Guests will pick up on your stress, she said, so let it go before they arrive.

The cheery blue dayflowers (Commelina communis) is so named because each flower lasts but a day.

The Best Three Months of the Season Are Still Available AP photo

Dayflowers named for Dutch brothers

By LEE REICH The Associated Press The cheery blue color of dayflowers (Commelina communis) – so named because each flower lasts but a day – does nothing to dispel some pity I feel for them.

Not that the petals cry out for sympathy. You have to get fairly close to the plant, or really stop and look at it, to even see its blossoms. Its stems and leaves, though, are bold, seemingly ready to gobble up any piece of ground they can grab with their succulence and lushness.

Aggressive growth coupled with almost inconspicuous flowers could categorize any plant as a “weed.” And many species of dayflower are considered just that, especially in parts of the South and Southwest. But name calling is not what stirs up my sympathies for this plant.

The Brothers Commelina Take an even closer look at a dayflower. Zoom in on the flower, and below the two prominent, azure petals you’ll see a third petal, pale compared with the other two and much smaller.

The petals are what give dayflower its botanical name.

Carl von Linnaeus, the founder of our system of plant nomenclature, gave dayflowers the botanical name Commelina to honor two 18th century Dutch brothers who were stars in botany at the time.

But there was a third brother

too, less successful than the other two and represented by the dayflower’s pale, relatively inconspicuous petal.

More generous accounts say the third brother died young, before he was able to leave his mark on botany. At any rate, what a sad thing to be immortalized for one’s deficiencies.

Good kin for dayflower Despite being called a weed and memorializing someone’s lack of accomplishment, dayflowers keep good company. Among their kin is the popular houseplant called wandering Jew, appreciated for the way its drooping, purple-tinted stems impart a tropical lushness to heated homes in the winter.

Among outdoor plants in colder regions, dayflowers’ best known relatives are spiderworts. Spiderworts look much like dayflowers, except the flowers are larger and have only two petals.

I’m not going to call dayflowers “weeds” in my garden. Their lush greenery is welcome and so far under control. And a close, close look at any of the green-hooded flowers reveals hidden beauty. From the base of the two prominent, blue petals arise three tiny sepals (modified petals), each like a flower itself with three yellow lobes and a dark maroon center.

From below these sepals swoop forward two anthers, behind which – and not to be missed – is that third, pale petal.

PIONEER CHARITY

Motorcycle Ride Photos provided

Scale models called maquettes are used by architects studying form, structure and proportion. These replicas from Belgium, available at Restoration Hardware, are an interesting way to introduce one of fall’s strongest decor elements, geometrics.

Geometrics shape decor

By KIM COOK The Associated Press Quadrilaterals, cubes, polyhedrons ... sound like 10th grade math class?

Perhaps, but they’re also examples of one of this fall’s biggest trends in home decor.

Crisp, contemporary and pleasing to the eye, geometrics work well for tables, lighting, accessories and soft furnishings.

Nate Berkus is a fan of these modern motifs, as his fall collection at Target attests. One of his favorites is a wall-mounted art piece made of hexagonal metal. His inspiration came out of a trip to a gem and mineral show, where he saw a table of crystallized honeycombs.

“They were breathtaking,” he said.

A series of polyresin marble trays are emblazoned with a scattering of rhombuses.

Check out the zig-zagged enamel photo frames here as well (www. target.

com).

Restoration Hardware’s curated “Curiosities” collection includes some Belgian “maquettes” – wooden scale models used to teach architecture. The large polygonal star or pyramidal cone would make a striking accessory (www.restorationhardware. com).

Canadian design duo Gabriel Kakon and Scott Richler have created the Welles light fixture, a cluster of blackened steel polygons with interiors available in nickel, brass or copper (www.gabrielscott. com).

Also in lighting, Seattlebased design house Iacoli and McAllister offers open-framed rhomboid pendants, available in different configurations, crafted in metallics as well as fun, powder-coated colors like tomato, blue and white (www. iacolimcallister.com).

Ridgely, a Toronto studio, welds cut steel rods into crisscross shapes on screens that can be left raw or powdercoated with several different colors. They can be used as room or landscape dividers, or as wall art (www.ridgelystudioworks.com).

Dad who treasures junk refuses to part with it Dear Abby: I am fed up with my father’s hoarding. Junk is piled everywhere, and our cat has twice gotten hurt in the piles. If there is a spare corner, junk is thrown in it. When I try to say anything, Dad gets defensive over his “stuff,” and my mother defends his “pack rat” ways. She says they are his things, not mine.

I’m extremely embarrassed when friends, relatives or neighbors visit.

I have offered to help clean, but he refuses to get rid of anything. What do you do when someone doesn’t believe this is a problem? – Embarrassed In Pennsylvania Dear Embarrassed: There is nothing you can say that will fix your father’s problem because it’s a psychological disorder. Even if he was willing to do something about his hoarding, it would take the assistance of a mental health professional and a support group to help him let go of his “stuff”

because it would be like letting go of a part of himself.

If you’re still living at home with your parents, all you can do is keep your own space as neat and organized as possible and not allow your father’s problem to affect your self-esteem.

Once you can afford to live on your own – move. After that, if your father’s hoarding continues to the point it becomes a danger to your parents’ health or a fire hazard, quietly notify the fire department or health department, which then may be able to intervene.

Dear Abby: My husband and I had a beautiful baby boy four months ago. Since then, he has admitted he married me only to have a child. My husband says he “cares for me,” but he’s not in love with me.

Still, he provides for all my needs, and I don’t want a divorce. I know I’ll be happy enough.

My friend is telling me I am doing

a disservice to my little one because he will never learn to love a woman.

Am I harming my baby? – New Mom

In Texas Dear Mom: I can’t see how you are harming your child. If you are a loving, attentive mother, your baby boy will love you unconditionally.

Your friend may feel you are shortchanging YOURSELF because she doesn’t understand that you’re willing to settle for financial security and forgo romantic love. However, if you are truly happy with this arrangement, your friend should be less judgmental.

Dear Abby: I was diagnosed with breast cancer at a very young age and underwent a double mastectomy.

Fortunately, I am cancer-free.

My husband was totally turned off by my appearance and hasn’t touched me sexually in many years. I have no desire to leave him, but I’m wondering how many other women have

gone through the same thing. We have lost so much of ourselves, and when we need our husbands the most, they turn the other way. – Anonymous In

Wisconsin Dear Anonymous: I strongly suspect you’re not the only woman this has happened to. We live in a society that has sexualized breasts to the point that it has caused many men to forget there are real PEOPLE attached to them. While a life-threatening illness has caused some males to turn away, it has reminded other men what is really important in life. I am sorry your husband is one of the former.

I am throwing your question open to my readers. I am sure the responses it generates will be educational for everyone.

Questions? Visit northwestcommunitycounseling.com

Addiction is an illness, and recovery requires support Despite the increase in public awareness and media attention, addictive disease is still highly stigmatized.

We only see the sensational cases and usually the dramatic crashes of high-profile people. So why do we work so hard to reduce stigma?

I think largely because the misconceptions and stereotypes create an atmosphere of misunderstanding, fear and shame, which makes it more difficult for people to recover.

Like mental illness, the symptoms of addiction are

largely behavioral, and this means the difference between addicted and not addicted is a matter of degree.

This can be a scary concept, but the fact is if someone in your family or close circle is not suffering from some form of addictive illness, you’re unusual.

Most of us don’t think someone made a bad decision if they suffer from cancer, heart disease or diabetes – that it was their own fault and they could change if they wanted to. However, with

alcoholism or drug addiction, there are still those who think it’s just a series of bad decisions, as if someone would choose to be an addict.

People don’t generally get better in an atmosphere of shame and criticism. The saying goes, “We’re as sick as our secrets.” Recovery is more likely to occur in an environment of nonjudgment, acceptance and respect. I think this is why recovering alcoholics are so effective in helping other alcoholics.

There’s little room for judg-

ment, treatment is respectful regardless of how far the fall and the environment is loving (albeit tough) and understanding.

One of the biggest hurdles to successful interventions is the judgment, blame and anger of the family members.

It is usually only when the family members can detach, not take their addicted family member’s behavior personally and finally get objective that an intervention can succeed.

September is National

Recovery Month, and I think as a community, the more we see recovery is not only possible but likely, the more we see the large number of people moving in the direction of sobriety and a healthier lifestyle, the more we see addiction as an illness from which people recover every day, the more support we offer to those who still suffer.

BETTER TOGETHER Huntley woman, sister find kindred spirits at Twins Days Festival

By JAMI KUNZER • jkunzer@shawmedia.com

Photo provided

Identical twins Joan Davis and Jean Henderson celebrate their 65th birthday at the annual Twins Days Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio. They wore costumes that were half good witch, half bad witch from “The Wizard of Oz” in keeping with the festival’s theme of “Fables & Fantasy.”

When identical twins Joan Davis and Jean Henderson turned 65, they had one destination in mind.

The two headed to Twinsburg, Ohio, for the town’s annual Twins Days Festival, an event they’d put on their bucket lists years ago.

“Once we got there, we said, ‘We’re among our kind,’ ” remembered Henderson, who lives in Elkhorn, Wis. “It was even better than we anticipated, and we were expecting a lot,” she said.

“It took us 65 years to get to Twinsburg, the mecca of twinness, but it was well worth it.”

Two of Joan Davis and Jean Henderson’s favorite costumes belonged to twins Skyler and Spencer Nick, who dressed as tooth fairies, complete with wrenches, for the annual Twins Days Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio.

Henderson’s sister lives in Huntley, and the two never go long without seeing one another.

They dress, talk, think and obviously, look alike.

“We’re awful to play Pictionary with because our train of thought is the same,” Henderson said. “If we’re both on the same team, it’s not fair to the others.

They have to separate us.”

The Twins Days Festival, hosted since 1976, allowed them to wear matching outfits as they’d done years ago as grade-schoolers before being teased.

They were among about 2,000 twins from throughout the world ranging in age from 2 weeks to 98 years old to gather for a parade, a race, a costume contest and other festivities. The event drew “wicked” costumes, as Davis described, including two young men dressed as tooth fairies in tutus and tank tops, carrying wrenches.

Davis and Henderson, who have run half-marathons and a marathon together, medaled in their age category for the festi-

of “Fables & Fantasy” this year, they dressed as a mix between good and wicked witches of Oz. Each of their costumes were half a bad witch and half a good witch.

The front of Davis’ costume was black, representing the bad witch, while the back was pink representing the good witch.

Henderson’s costume was the opposite.

They carried a sign saying, “Which witch is which? When you’re a twin, you can switch!”

During the parade, Davis acted the part of the bad witch, telling those she met along the way to, “Wipe that smile off your face.”

“My sister would come along and say, ‘Don’t mind her,’ “she said.

“We had lots of fun interacting with the crowd,” Henderson said.

Interviewed separately, the two had most of the same responses to questions, and both said the following nearly word for word: “The thing that really impressed me was the people were so friendly.”

“We’ve been to lots of festivals. We like to celebrate things.

We had never been to such a friendly festival.”

Joan Davis of Huntley Twins Days Festival attendee

val’s 5K race.

Held the first weekend in August, the event is just as it sounds: a celebration of twins.

“It was wonderful to just walk around. ... You were normal walking around with a double,” Davis said. “It was unusual to have someone there who didn’t have someone who looked exactly like them. It was an indulgence we could dress alike.”

Although the two stopped dressing alike on purpose at a young age, they often did so through the years on accident.

Attending the same college their first year after high school, they once met up in the college square wearing the same outfits.

“We both went home and

changed,” Henderson said.

They have had other coincidences through the years, such as the time they both experienced small fires in their separate dormitories about the same time.

They’ve only really fought once, they said.

“We broke into tears because we were fighting with each other and couldn’t stand it,” Davis said.

Aside from their hair cuts, the two can’t really be told apart. Davis always has kept her hair short and with more of a natural color, while Henderson wears her hair longer and dyed an auburn color.

For the festival, Davis grew her hair out and added highlights to match Henderson’s color.

Following the festival’s theme

“We’ve been to lots of festivals,” Davis said. “We like to celebrate things. We had never been to such a friendly festival.”

They posed for photographs with all sorts of matching twins and made new friends.

The twin bond transcended age, race, cultural background, everything, they said.

And they plan to go back next year.

The two never have taken one another for granted, feeling fortunate to have grown up with a best friend, even sensing one another’s emotions when not together.

Once again, in separate interviews, they both said basically the same thing: “It’s wonderful to have a brother or sister. You have a wonderful life. But if you have a twin, you have a charmed life. We definitely feel that way.”

Their next adventure? A llama trek in the Colorado Rockies.

“We have such a good time together, we decided to celebrate [our birthdays] all summer,” Henderson said.

When did synthetic gems hit the market?

As far as we know this practice goes back to the ancient Egyptians. They were known to use glass and porcelain to imitate their sacred gemstones such as lapis, turquoise and coral.

In 1902, the Verneuil process was mastered to create synthetic rubies. These were originally created for the watch industry to use in the mechanical (wind up) watches for the “jeweled” movements. A good watch usually had a 17 jeweled movement. Eventually these rubies were created for jewelry as well.

In 1935, the diffusion process was used to create the synthetic emerald. Major companies such as Chatham (as well as others) then used this method.

Today, these companies use the flux fusion method to create their gorgeous synthetic rubies, sapphires and emeralds. This process leaves inclusions in the stones that mimic natural inclusions. Only a highly skilled gemologist can identify the gem as being synthetic or natural.

Synthetic gems have the same chemical and physical properties as their natural counterparts. They are grown in labs as opposed to nature. All synthetic stones should be sold to consumers with full disclosure.

The vows you swap at the altar will go down as the most important conversation you and your groom ever have in public.

Go With the Tried-and-True: The traditional vows date to 1549, from the Anglican Communion’s Book of Common Prayer. They’ve been adapted over time (for example, the word “obey” was removed from the bride’s part), but more than four centuries later, they’re still the most popular. Use them as is, or work the general sentiments into vows you script yourself.

“I, (Bride/Groom), take you (Groom/Bride), to be my (wife/husband), to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, from this day forward till death do us part.”

Write Something New: Katherine Jeddah Vailakis, an interfaith minister in New York City, has guided hundreds of couples through the process of fashioning their own vows. Find a pen, paper and some alone time, and follow her advice for getting to the heart of the matter.

1. Jot down a love letter to your fiancé. Don’t think about it too much – just write honestly and try not to edit yourself.

2. Note all the things he has offered you while dating, such as support, space or unconditional love.

3. Write a promise you would like to make for your marriage. If you have trouble with this, consider the most

Making wedding guests comfortable key Your hosting duties commence as soon as your guests arrive for the service. Get folks settled in their seats with ease, and establish a festive mood straightaway.

Appoint a Welcoming Committee Ask your parents to greet people as they are trickling in.

“From a guest’s perspective, there’s nothing lovelier than having the opportunity to talk to the hosts of the party before it begins,” said Marina Birch, an event designer and owner of Birch Design Studio

in Chicago.

Go for Comfort First Consider your location – is it warm or cold? Is inclement weather on the way?

“Rather than thinking, ‘Oh, it’s just 20 minutes, they can grin and bear it,’ do whatever you can to help them acclimate,” said Maria Baer, an event designer and owner of Ritzy Bee Events in Washington, D.C. A thoughtful suggestion: Provide hot cider on a cool day or ice-cold lemonade for a summer affair.

Mix It Up It used to be the groom’s friends and family would sit on one side and the bride’s VIPs would be on the other.

These days, planners encourage mingling.

“Reserve the first few rows for family members by placing name cards on their chairs, and let everyone else sit wherever they want,” said Lynn Easton, an event designer and owner of Easton Events in Charlotte, N.C.

Vows may be included in your program for guests to follow along. common stressors you encounter in your relationship. Do you spend too much time at work and not enough hours together? If so, vow to prioritize your fiancé. Or, if you tend to shut down when you argue, pledge to remain open and present even during times of difficulty.

4. You’ll find that you now have a beginning (what you love about him), a middle (how he’s made you better) and an end (your promises). String these sections together, fine-tune the wording, and voila – beautiful vows!

READINGS KNOW-HOW Your selections should reflect you as a couple. Keep them under 90 seconds, and limit yourself to three, max.

A few good ideas: • Involve special friends or family in the ceremony by asking them to read.

• If you love travel, use a section from Dr. Seuss’ “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” • Major music lovers? Share the lyrics of a song you both find meaningful.

• If you started out long-distance, select a passage from your first missives.

“Elysium”

HHH

STARRING: Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sharito Copley, Alice Braga

PLOT: A factory worker (Damon) takes on a mission to hijack his way onto a man-made space habitat.

RATED: R for strong bloody violence and language throughout RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 49 minutes VERDICT: Of all the movie villains we’ve met lately, few are stranger than Delacourt, Jodie Foster’s evil, white-blonde, power-suited and power-hungry defense official in “Elysium,” the much-awaited but ultimately somewhat disappointing new film from director Neill Blomkamp. From her command post on a ritzy space station high up above 22nd-century Earth, a demitasse of espresso at her side, Delacourt doles out orders in a foreign but unrecognizable accent. “Send them to deportation!” she barks, when “undocumented” ships breach her borders. “Get them off this habitat!”

Blomkamp, whose sci-fi parable “District 9” came out of nowhere four years ago to earn a best-picture Oscar nod, is crystal clear in his intentions here. He’s making obvious statements about immigration and universal health care, and whether the frequent references bother you or not will greatly influence how much you enjoy the film. One thing you can’t deny, though, is its visual beauty, and, as in “District 9,” his masterful use of special effects. It’s not for nothing that Blomkamp, at the tender age of 33, has been called a visionary artist of the genre. His “Elysium” – that space station in the sky, looking a lot like present-day Easthampton – is an enormous wheel, on the rim of which its wealthy residents, having left the teeming and polluted Earth, who inhabit pristine white homes with bright green manicured lawns.

As for Foster, what could have been an interesting character never really gels into anything but an oddity. But Blomkamp is talented enough that it doesn’t matter too much. If “Elysium” doesn’t nearly live up to “District 9,” it shows enough panache to leave us waiting enthusiastically for his next effort. – The Associated Press

RATINGS HHHH - Excellent HHH - Recommended HH - Not recommended H - Awful safe haven, the son of Poseidon (Lerman) and his friends embark on a quest to the Sea of Monsters to find the mythical Golden Fleece while trying to stop an ancient evil from rising.

RATED: PG for fantasy action violence, some scary images and mild language TIME: 1 hour, 46 minutes VERDICT: “Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters,” the second film based on Rick Riordan’s immensely popular books about a dyslexic boy who discovers he’s a demigod, may make some moviegoers feel like they’ve stepped into an actual Greek myth – one that banishes them to the underworld for nearly two hours. Well, maybe not quite the underworld, since a trip down there presumably wouldn’t feature droll quips from Stanley Tucci and Nathan Fillion, who play small but enjoyable supporting roles in this desperately-trying-to-be-epic adventure. But even likable actors can’t obscure the fact that, holy gods on Mount Olympus, this thing is a slog, a movie that dutifully hits its plot points involving prophecies and fleeces without evoking a whiff of spirit or imagination. It’s a shame the millions of readers who fell in love with Riordan’s classic-meetscontemporary children’s stories have been handed such limp adaptations of the material. The first, 2010’s “Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief” – directed by Chris Columbus, who leeched some but not all, of the life out of the first two

Harry Potter movies – was respectable but dull, while “Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters,” as directed by Thor Freudenthal (“Diary of a Wimpy Kid”), is both dull and awkwardly executed. It’s less a theatrical release than a Disney Channel special that got dressed up in CGI clothes and was shoved into a multiplex. – The

H 1/2

“We’re the Millers” STARRING: Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis, Emma Roberts PLOT: A veteran pot dealer creates a fake family as part of his plan to move a huge shipment of weed into the U.S. from Mexico.

RATED: R for crude sexual content, pervasive language, drug material and brief graphic nudity TIME: 1 hour, 50 minutes VERDICT: “We’re the Millers” is a dogdays movie, the kind of left-handed programmer that slips easily onto screens in August, makes a few bills and exits without much notice.

There’s nothing special about it, but it would be dishonest to claim it isn’t funny. The laughs may come in fits and starts, usually by way of sight gags and set pieces, but they do come. And then they go. Written by Hollywood technicians too numerous to mention, “We’re the Millers” hasn’t been crafted as much as expertly machined for maximum exploitation, whether it’s Aniston showcasing her killer bod in not one but two steamy strip scenes, or Sudeikis’ bland affability – which in this case is juxtaposed with a nearly unbroken stream of f-bombs and coarse, crass one-liners.

“We’re the Millers” may not send the audience into any soaring highs, but it does produce a mild buzz. – The

16 Art ideas for

outdoor living

By JENNIFER FORKER The Associated Press Even a small slice of the big outdoors can call for big art.

With some do-it-yourself ingenuity, creating artwork for an outdoor living space needn’t be costly or complicated. In a few summer hours, you can make a piece, large or not-so-large, that packs a visual wallop.

Just keep in mind the advice of Bob Richter, interior designer and cast member of PBS’ treasure-hunting series “Market Warriors”: “There’s a fine line between ‘What’s that piece of junk in your yard?’ and art.”

Landscape designer Chris H. Olsen, of Little Rock, Ark., is fond of wine bottles, repurposing empties in myriad ways for the garden – as an artsy wall, accent lighting and art objects.

“I’m all about fun, funky, great displays and projects that are relatively easy to do,” says Olsen.

To add patio privacy or garden interest, Olsen builds a wine bottle wall: vertical rows of wine bottles inserted into a wood frame using metal rods.

“I love a little ‘bling bling’ in the garden, and I love glass,” Olsen said.

Another conversation starter: Olsen’s “bottle stars” – empty, corked wine bottles that are glued together to create a star shape, then hung in trees and positioned in

“Bottle Star” (Adapted from the book “Chris H. Olsen’s Five Seasons”) Supplies: 9 assorted wine bottles, empty and corked 4 rolls of paper towels (to brace bottles) Household adhesive sealant 1. Glue the bottoms of four wine bottles together to resemble a plus (+) sign. Let dry for four hours.

2. Where the four bottles meet, glue one additional bottle sitting up. Let dry four hours.

3. Using paper towel rolls to brace them, glue the four remaining bottles leaning upward at a 45-degree angle, allowing each to dry before attaching the next.

planted pots. This and other outdoor DIY projects can be found in his book “Chris H. Olsen’s Five Seasons” (Leisure Arts, 2011).

David Bromstad, host of “HGTV Star” and host designer of the network’s “Color Splash,” says stringing a dozen or more wine bottles with lights inside them and hanging them from a pergola or other substantial structure – the underside of a deck, say – creates alluring outdoor lighting.
