Donna Mitchell of McHenry poses for a portrait with a picture of her twin brother, Donald V. MacLean, at her home Thursday. Mitchell was relentless with the U.S. military to identify the remains of her brother who had been missing in action since the Korean War. MacLean’s remains were identified earlier this year after being buried in Hawaii with others that were turned over to the U.S. by China.

Donald Victor MacLean, 17, was declared missing in action in 1950 during the Korean War. His remains were identified this year. asking what happened to their brother.

“You are my last hope,” Viverito wrote in 1993.

Two months ago, the Army contacted Mitchell, letting her know that her brother’s remains had been identified.

Unfortunately, Viverito had passed away about five years earlier.

Mitchell is MacLean’s only surviving sibling.

The youngest of 10 siblings, Mitchell and MacLean were incredibly close.

Mitchell was just three minutes older than her brother, who was sickly as a child because of frequent bouts of pneumonia. Mitchell was charged by their mother, Victoria MacLean, with taking care of him.

“We did everything together,” Mitchell said. “Where you’d find him, you’d find

me. When he got in a fight, I’d have to fight him out of it, too. ... When he joined the Army, I tried to go to, but they wouldn’t take me.”

Born in Elkhart, Ind., the two grew up in the Back of the Yards neighborhood in Chicago, a move made after their father, Alexander MacLean, died when they were 2 years old.

When their mother married again, they spent their time moving back and forth between Chicago and their mother’s new home in Ohio.

WOODSTOCK – A commission whose handling of an ethics complaint against Undersheriff Andrew Zinke is being questioned will hear Zinke’s complaint next week against the blogger who filed it.

The five-member McHenry County Ethics Commission will convene Thursday to determine whether Lakewood blogger Cal Skinner’s complaint – that an email Zinke wrote to County Board members constituted campaigning on taxpayer time and resources – was frivolous.

Zinke’s email, sent from his county account during work hours, rebuts statements and pictures posted on Skinner’s blog at www.mchenrycountyblog.com that he gave Skinner the middle finger during the Crystal Lake Independence Day Parade. The July 10 email made several references to Zinke’s campaign for sheriff.

Happy to be considered a threat to MCC I swear that I had a 600-word column written and ready to go before senior reporter Kevin Craver stole my thunder.

Well, in my head, at least.

I was prepared to write about the McHenry County College Board of Trustees and its 2013-2018 strategic plan. More specifically, the part on page 13 that classifies the media, bloggers and taxpayers as threats to the college.

Apparently, the college doesn’t like the media or taxpayers paying attention to and questioning its business.

And by its business, I mean our business. That makes us a threat when the college does things such as force out its president and lie about the circumstances of his departure or use questionable enrollment projections to support expansion initiatives.

8TODAY’S TALKER

Random attack leaves WWII veteran dead

By NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS The Associated Press SPOKANE, Wash. – Police in Spokane, Wash., have arrested one of two teens suspected of fatally beating an 88-year-old veteran of World War II who had survived the battle for Okinawa.

Police contend that two 16-year-old boys approached Delbert Belton in his car at random Wednesday night outside an Eagles Lodge as he was waiting for a friend.

Belton was found by police with serious head injuries and died in the hospital Thursday.

Belton’s death has struck a chord nationally and sparked outrage on social media.

“He fought for this country,” said Belton’s sister, Alberta Tosh, on Friday. “Then he comes home and a couple of creeps kill him in the worst way.”

Police Chief Frank Straub said there was no information that the attack was motivated by anything other than robbery. Police were offering no details about the crime itself, including what was taken, if anything.

“I don’t really care what their motive was,” Straub added. “We are not going to tolerate this.” Such random attacks are rare in Spokane, a city of 210,000 people in eastern Washington, Straub said.

Police say the arrested teen

was being held on charges of robbery and first-degree murder.

Straub identified the suspect still at large as 16-yearold Kenan D. Adams-Kinard.

Even though he is a juvenile, his name and photo were released because he is a danger to the community, Straub said. The Associated Press doesn’t usually name juvenile suspects, but is identifying the teen because of the manhunt.

“We are asking the community’s assistance to locate him,” Straub said. “We are asking Mr. Kinard to surrender immediately.”

“He displayed very aggressive and violent conduct with his assault of Mr. Belton,”

Buy or Refi...

Straub said, adding that he believed the arrest of the second suspect was imminent. Both suspects have juvenile court records and past convictions for assault, Straub said.

Straub also offered his condolences to Belton’s family.

“He is a World War II veteran who suffered injuries in Okinawa,” Straub said. “The Spokane Police Department has been working tirelessly to identify and apprehend the suspects.”

Belton was born and raised in Spokane and joined the Army during World War II. His sister said he was shot in the leg on Okinawa, site of one of the fiercest battles of the war in 1945.

8CORRECTIONS & CLARIFICATIONS An article on page A1 in Friday’s edition incorrectly reported the date of the next McHenry County Board Public Health and Human Services Committee meeting. The committee will meet at 8:30 a.m.

Wednesday.

The committee will not be interviewing Mental Health Board candidates – the agenda had not been posted at the time the story was written.

Possible pension fixes could save state $145B

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press CHICAGO – A bipartisan panel tasked with solving Illinois’ multibillion-dollar pension crisis is considering a framework that could save the state about $145 billion over 30 years, largely by ending automatic 3 percent cost-of-living increases for retirees.

The Associated Press on Friday obtained an outline of ideas being considered by the 10-person committee, whose members have said they are making progress on an issue that has vexed the Legislature for years.

Sen. Kwame Raoul, a Chicago Democrat and the committee’s chairman, acknowledged the outline but said the document is preliminary and the panel is not ready to issue a final recommendation.

“The committee has not come to a consensus,” Raoul said. “Our work is not done.”

But the outline is the most detailed information disclosed to date of what the committee is considering or how much savings any proposal on the table could achieve.

It calls for setting retirees’ annual cost-of-living increases at half the rate of inflation, though it would set both floors and caps – which were not included in the outline – for what the rate could be. That formula would likely equate to smaller adjustments than the current 3 percent increas-

About the pension outline Committee members stressed that the pension reform framework is a work in progress, but preliminary details include: • Retirees’ annual cost-of-living increases would be set at half the rate of inflation, with floors and caps on the amount.

• Workers would contribute 1 percent less to their own retirement.

• There would be no increase in the retirement age.

• Retirees’ pension benefits could be based on their salary over their career, rather than on the amount they’re making just before they retire.

• The state would have to put extra money into its retirement funds starting in 2019.

es, compounded annually.

Unlike previous proposals that would have required employees to contribute more to their own retirement, the outline calls for workers to pay in 1 percent less. It also does not increase the retirement age, as has been previously proposed.

Those elements are an apparent attempt to improve the odds any proposal could survive a legal challenge.

They also could make a plan more palatable to public-employee unions and legislators who have said earlier attempts at pension reform went too far.

But the document does suggest retirees’ annual pension benefits could be based on their salary over their career, rather than on the higher amount they’re making right before they retire. It also calls for the state to put extra money into the retirement funds starting in 2019, when it has paid off its pension bonds.

It would reduce the state’s nearly $100 billion unfunded pension liability by about $18.1 billion and fully fund the retirement systems within 30 years, the document states.

Illinois has the nation’s worst-funded public employee pensions, mainly because for years lawmakers voted to skip or short the state’s contributions.

This year the state’s payment to the funds is about $6 billion, or nearly one-fifth of the general fund budget – an amount that has led to cuts in funding for areas such as education and public safety and increased the pressure on legislators to come up with a deal.

Lawmakers voted in June to create the conference committee after reaching an impasse over two rival pension plans – one advanced by House Speaker Michael Madigan and the other by Senate President John Cullerton, both Chicago Democrats.

U of Ill. band program head quits The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHAMPAIGN – The official who oversaw the University of Illinois’ bands program resigned after it emerged that he sold tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of school instruments and put the money in personal bank accounts.

Robert Rumbelow, who had been the school’s director of bands since 2010, stepped down Thursday after writing a check to the school for $86,000. Rumbelow was

expected to pay back another $1,600 on Friday that the school said he still owed, his lawyer Dan Jackson said.

Police, who are investigating, say Rumbelow began selling the instruments in 2011 and continued into this year. They say he made sales on eBay and elsewhere, and that a Tennessee school district was among his buyers.

“Seventy-six instruments appear to be missing and some of them on the inventory list were declared as having ‘zero value’ even though

they were sold by Rumbelow using eBay and through other contacts,” university police Lt. Matt Myrick said in a statement, noting that Rumbelow compiled the list. “In one instance, four clarinets were sold for $5,500 each. The payment for these clarinets was in the form of a check made out to Rumbelow.”

Champaign County State’s Attorney Julia Rietz said Friday that her office is still reviewing the police investigation and hasn’t filed any charges.

8STATE BRIEFS Panel created for closed Chicago school buildings CHICAGO – Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced Friday that he has created a panel to study what to do with nearly 50 Chicago public schools that have been closed as part of aggressive cost-cutting efforts.

The 13-member Advisory Committee for School Repurposing and Community Development includes aldermen, community members and city officials. It will be led by Wilbur Milhouse, the owner of a construction and engineering firm.

Milhouse said the properties won’t remain vacant, but will be temporarily “boarded up and locked up tight” while the group sorts out proposals for the shuttered buildings.

Angry parents and frustrated neighbors have said they’re worried the vacant properties will attract crime in neighborhoods already struggling with violence. Others are worried the buildings will be converted into charter schools. CPS officials have said they’re serious about making sure the buildings are reused – eventually.

Koch brothers dropping pursuit of Tribune papers The Koch brothers are dropping their pursuit of newspapers owned by the Tribune Co. of Chicago.

Koch Industries, run by the billionaire brothers Charles and David, said Friday that it is still interested in the media and is exploring a broad range of opportunities.

Tribune publications include the Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, the Orlando Sentinel and The Sun, in Baltimore. Reports first surfaced four months ago of the Koch’s

interest in Tribune after the company in December announced plans to sell its papers.

Snow leopard cub born at Brookfield Zoo BROOKFIELD – There’s a new furry feline prowling around the Brookfield Zoo in suburban Chicago.

The Chicago Zoological Society, which manages the zoo, says Friday that an endangered snow leopard cub was born June 13. The male cub now tips the scales at 10 pounds and is spending time bonding with his mother. The public will be able to see the pair starting in mid-September. Until then, they’re in an off-exhibit den.

The baby is the first cub born to 3-year-old Sarani and her mate, Sabu. Conservationists think there are between 3,500 and 7,000 snow leopards in the wild.

Ill. youth deer hunting period set for Oct. 12-14 SPRINGFIELD – Illinois youth will have three days in October to deer hunt with firearms.

Illinois Department of Natural Resources officials said Thursday the hunt will be Oct. 12-14 for youths who haven’t reached their 16th birthday by the first day of the hunt.

Participants must have completed a DNR-approved hunter education course. They also must have a youth deer permit, a hunting license or apprentice hunting license and be supervised by a non-hunting adult.

The supervisor must have a valid hunting license or Firearm Owners Identification Card, wear blaze-orange garments and may accompany just one youth at any given time.

Capital looking to avert shutdown

By JIM KUHNHENN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Congressional Republican leaders and the Obama administration are trying to cut a deal that avoids a government shutdown in October while facing what could be an even bigger fight over the nation’s debt ceiling in the rest of the year.

An agreement to keep the government operating at current spending levels through October and November would head off a politically costly disruption of federal services but still leave a clash looming, like the one that roiled the economy two years ago, over a possible government default.

Neither party has come up with a way out of a debt showdown.

“Right now there isn’t a plan, unfortunately, in Washington,” said Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, who has been one of eight Republicans negotiating with the White House over the budget. He said lawmakers and the White House can’t seem to act until deadlines are at hand and the pressure for a breakthrough is intense.

The double dose of a shortterm spending measure that expires in November and a debt limit deadline does create the kind of drama that prompts action.

The coming budget fights mark a new season of uncertainty, which has emerged as an annual rite in Washington.

This time the ritual is complicated further by President Barack Obama’s pending nomination of a Fed chairman to replace Ben Bernanke, whose term is ending. Investors and corporate leaders, already jittery over a debt ceiling fight, also will be trying to divine what Obama’s Fed selection could mean for monetary policy.

“Bernanke’s departure is just one more unavoidable source of uncertainty,” said Lewis Alexander, U.S. chief economist at Nomura, a global investment bank.

For now, the White House has abandoned its hopes for a large budget deal that would address both increases in tax revenue and reductions in long-term spending on programs such as Social Security and Medicare. Instead, it is proposing an overhaul in corporate taxes to close what it considers loopholes and reduce rates. This would be in exchange for spending on projects to create jobs.

Republicans are demanding long-term spending cuts, with some insisting that any deal must jettison money to pay for Obama’s health care law. The White House argues that existing cuts, higher taxes on the rich and an improving economy have already reduced the deficit.

Fort Hood shooter guilty Soldier now eligible for death penalty in attack that killed 13 The ASSOCIATED PRESS FORT HOOD, Texas – A military jury on Friday convicted Maj. Nidal Hasan in the deadly 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, making the Army psychiatrist eligible for the death penalty in the shocking assault against American troops by one of their own on home soil.

There was never any doubt that Hasan was the gunman. He acknowledged to the jury that he was the one who pulled the trigger on fellow soldiers as they prepared to deploy overseas to Iraq and Afghanistan. And he barely defended himself during a three-week trial.

The unanimous decision on all 13 counts of premeditated murder made Hasan eligible for execution in the sentencing phase that begins

Monday.

“This is where members [of the jury] decide whether you will live or whether you will die,” said Col. Tara Osborn, the trial judge.

Hasan, who said he acted to protect Muslim insurgents Maj. Nidal abroad from Hasan American aggression, did not react to the verdict, looking straight at jurors as they announced their findings. After the hearing, relatives of the dead and wounded fought back tears.

Some smiled and warmly patted each other’s shoulders as they left court.

Because Hasan never denied his actions, the court-martial was always less about a conviction than

it was about ensuring he received a death sentence.

From the beginning, the federal government has sought to execute Hasan, believing that any sentence short of a lethal injection would deprive the military and the families of the dead of the justice they have sought for nearly four years.

Autumn Manning, whose husband, retired Staff Sgt. Shawn Manning, was shot six times in the attack, wept when the verdict was read.

She said she had been concerned some charges might be reduced to manslaughter, which would have taken a death sentence off the table.

“This is so emotional,” she said in a phone interview from Lacey, Wash., where she and her husband live.

“I’ve just been crying since we heard it because it was a relief. ... We just wanted to hear the premeditated.”

Hasan, who represented himself after firing his legal team, was also convicted on 32 counts of attempted

premeditated murder. He carried out the attack in a crowded waiting room where unarmed troops were making final preparations to deploy.

Thirteen people were killed and more than 30 wounded.

John Galligan, Hasan’s former lead attorney, said Hasan called him to make sure he heard the verdict, and the pair planned to meet later at Fort Hood.

Galligan said the jury did not hear all the facts because the judge refused to allow evidence that helped explain Hasan’s actions.

“Right or wrong, strong or weak, the facts are the facts,” he said. “The jury we heard from only got half the facts.”

The 13 high-ranking officers took about seven hours to reach the verdict. In the next phase, jurors must all agree to give Hasan the death penalty before he can be sent to the military’s death row, which has just five other prisoners. If they do not agree, the 42-year-old will spend the rest of his life in prison.

The Rim Fire burns near Yosemite National Park, Calif. The weeklong blaze has spread to more than 165 square miles and was only 2 percent contained Friday. The fire was threatening about 4,500 residences, according to the U.S. Forest Service.

Wildfire spreads into Yosemite

The Associated Press FRESNO, Calif. – A giant wildfire raging out of control spread into Yosemite National Park on Friday as authorities urged more evacuations in nearby communities where thousands have already been forced out by flames marching through the timbered slopes of the western Sierra Nevada.

The fire hit the park at the height of summer season, as officials geared up for a busy Labor Day weekend. It has closed some backcountry hiking but was not threatening the Yosemite Valley region, one of California’s most popular tourist destinations.

The spectacular valley carved by glaciers offers visitors such iconic sights as the

The weeklong blaze has spread to more than 165 square miles and was only 2 percent contained. It continued to grow in several directions, although “most of the fire activity is pushing to the east right into Yosem-

ite,” said Daniel Berlant, spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

Smoke blowing across the Sierra into the state of Nevada forced officials in several counties to cancel outdoor school activities and issue health advisories, especially for people with respiratory problems.

Authorities urged more evacuations in nearby communities where thousands have already been forced out by flames.

The fire was threatening about 4,500 residences, according to the U.S. Forest Service. Already, the blaze has destroyed four homes and 12 outbuildings in several different areas. More than 2,000 firefighters were on the lines and one sustained a

heat-related injury.

While the park remained open, the blaze closed a 4-mile stretch of State Route 120, one of three entrances into Yosemite on the west side. Two other western routes and an eastern route were open.

Within the park, the blaze was burning on about 17 square miles in a remote area around Lake Eleanor, northwest of Hetch Hetchy reservoir, Yosemite spokeswoman Kari Cobb said.

Backcountry permits are required to hike in that area, Cobb said. The park was no longer issuing those and had contacted every person who had received a permit to go there. Two roads into that area were closed and occupants of a campground near the Route 120 west entrance were relocated.

San Diego Mayor Bob Filner speaks Friday after agreeing to resign Aug. 30 at a City Council meeting in San Diego.

San Diego mayor to quit seat The ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN DIEGO – Mayor Bob Filner agreed Friday to resign in return for the city’s help defending him against claims he groped, kissed and made lewd comments to women, allegations that shook and embarrassed the city and turned the former 10-term congressman into a national punch line.

Filner was regretful and defiant during a City Council meeting as he explained the “the toughest decision of my life.” He apologized to his accusers but insisted he was innocent of sexual harassment and said he was the victim of a “lynch mob.”

“The city should not have to go through this, and my own personal failures were responsible and I apologize to the city,” Filner said after the council voted 7-0 on a deal that ended a political stalemate after 17 women publicly accused him of harassment.

“To all the women that I offended, I had no intention to be offensive, to violate any physical or emotional space,” he said.

The 70-year-old Filner, a liberal Democrat, served 20 years in Congress before becoming mayor of the nation’s eighth-largest city.

His resignation takes effect Aug. 30.

Villagers not happy with Bales’ sentence The ASSOCIATED PRESS JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. – The U.S. soldier who massacred 16 Afghan civilians last year in one of the worst atrocities of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars was sentenced Friday to life in prison with no chance of parole – the most severe sentence possible, but one that left surviving victims and relatives of the dead deeply unsatisfied.

“We wanted this murderer to be executed,” said Hajji Mohammad Wazir, who lost 11 family members in the attack

by Staff Sgt. Robert Bales.

“We were brought all the way from Afghanistan to see if justice would be served. Not our way – justice was served the American way.”

Bales, 40, pleaded guilty in June in a deal to avoid the death penalty for the March 11, 2012, raids near his outpost in Kandahar province, when he stalked through homes and shot 22 people – 17 of them women and children. Some screamed for mercy, while others didn’t even have a chance to get out of bed.

The only possible sentences were life in prison without parole, or life with the possibility of release after 20 years.

The soldier showed no emo-

tion as the six jurors chose the former after deliberating for less than two hours.

His mother, sitting in the front row of the court, bowed her head, rocked in her seat and wept.

An interpreter flashed a thumbs-up sign to a row of Afghan villagers who were either wounded or lost family members in the March 11, 2012, attacks.

“I saw his mother trying to cry, but at least she can go visit him,” said Hajji Mohammad Naim, who was shot in the neck. “What about us?

Our family members are actually 6 feet under.”

The villagers, who traveled nearly 7,000 miles to testify against Bales, spoke with reporters through an interpreter and asked what it would be like for someone to break into American homes and slaughter their families. A boy of about 13 displayed a scar from a bullet wound to his leg.

They also criticized American involvement in Afghanistan, saying the soldiers came to build their country but have done no such thing.

Bales never offered an explanation for the killing, but he apologized on the witness stand Thursday and described the slaughter as an “act of cowardice.”

8NATION BRIEF Obama plays down U.S. intervention in Syria WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama played down the prospect Friday of speedy U.S. intervention in Syria, stressing the difficulty of ordering military action against the Assad government without a strong international coalition and a legal mandate from the United Nations. While his administration weighed military responses to this week’s claims of a large-

scale chemical weapons attack near Damascus, Obama spoke as cautiously as ever about getting involved in a war that has killed more than 100,000 people and now includes Hezbollah and al-Qaida.

He made no mention of the “red line” of chemical weapons use which he marked out for Syrian President Bashar Assad a year ago and which U.S. intelligence says has been breached.

Protests smaller in Egypt

NEED A GOOD LOCAL

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CAIRO – Supporters of Egypt’s deposed president, who once overwhelmed cities in the hundreds of thousands, changed tactics Friday by demonstrating in scattered, small rallies that avoided confronting a heavy military deployment waiting for them across the country.

The low turnout signaled the strain on ousted leader Mohammed Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood, as it has trouble drawing large numbers of supporters and faces an increasingly skeptical Egyptian public wary of more bloodshed like that which followed the July 3 military coup that overthrew him. Meanwhile, an intense security crackdown by

Supporters of Egypt’s ousted President Mohammed Morsi chant slogans Friday during a protest in Giza, Egypt. the military-backed interim government has rounded up much of its leadership.

The Brotherhood has “committed a strategic error last week by mixing peaceful protests with armed clashes with civilians,” said Abdullah el-Sinawi, an Egyptian newspaper columnist and analyst.

“Many supporters are now staying away fearing that new civilian-on-civilian clashes will erupt.”

Morsi supporters dubbed it “Friday of Martyrs,” in ref-

erence to the several hundred people that died in clashes with Egypt’s military during raids on street camps this month. Last Friday, vigilantes at neighborhood checkpoints battled Morsi supporters across the capital in clashes between residents that killed more than 170 people, including dozens of police officers.

Before the protests, soldiers in armored personnel carriers and tanks deployed early Friday across the country on major roads and plazas.

Photojournalist gang raped in India Indian policemen inspect the site where a 22-yearold woman was gang raped in the Mahalaxmi area of Mumbai, India. The photojournalist was raped while her male colleague was tied up and beaten, police said Friday.

The case was reminiscent of the December gang rape and death of a young university student in the capital that shocked India.

By MUNEEZA NAQVI The Associated Press NEW DELHI – A 22-yearold photojournalist was gang raped while her male colleague was tied up and beaten in an isolated, overgrown corner of India’s business hub of Mumbai, police said Friday.

The case was reminiscent of the December gang rape and death of a young university student in the Indian capital that shocked the country.

The latest attack took place Thursday evening in Lower Parel, a onetime textile-manufacturing neighborhood of south Mumbai that over the past decade has changed dramatically.

Today, upscale malls, trendy restaurants and super-luxury condominiums sit side-byside with abandoned textile mills and sprawling slums.

Police said the Indian woman was on assignment for a magazine to take pictures of the neighborhood when five men confronted her and her colleague at about 7 p.m. After initially offering to help her get permission to shoot inside a crumbling, isolated building, the men became aggressive and accused the male colleague of being involved in a local crime.

When he denied involve-

ment in the crime, they tied his hands with a belt and took the woman to another part of the compound and took turns raping her, Mumbai’s police commissioner, Satyapal Singh, told reporters.

Police on Friday arrested a suspect in the attack who named and identified the other four men, Singh said.

The assault comes amid heightened concerns about sexual violence in India.

The gang rape and death of the student on a bus in New Delhi in December had shaken a country long inured to violence against women and sparked protests demanding better protection for women.

In response, the govern-

sketches of the four men, Singh would not give their names or other details, saying authorities did not want to give them any warning that they were being sought.

Singh said the men may have been local drug dealers.

The woman was in stable condition in a hospital. Police declined to say who she was working for at the time of the

About 1,000 people, including members of several local journalists’ associations, gathered Friday evening in south Mumbai to stage a silent protest.

Sanctions bite but Iran not budging

By MARJORIE OLSTER The Associated Press

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

Donna Mitchell of McHenry will bury her twin brother Donald MacLean, missing in action since the Korean War, on Aug. 31. “This will put it to a closure now,” she said. “I was glad that at least we know something.”

Sister’s last letter to lost brother never returned • VETERAN Continued from page A1 MacLean enlisted in Tuscarawas, Ohio, through the buddy system, a program that let friends enlist together.

He thought he’d get to finish high school, Mitchell said, but after training and a furlough, four months after enlisting MacLean was sent to Korea, a private first class with Company D, 1st Battalion, 32nd Infantry Regiment of the 7th Infantry Division.

“He wrote occasionally to tell us how cold it was there and everything,” Mitchell said.

They would send him care packages, the last with fruitcakes, and letters. Even though the last letters her mother and sisters sent MacLean were returned, Mitchell never got hers back and she said she’ll never know whether he’d gotten it.

MacLean’s unit was part of a regimental combat team that fought on the east side of the Chosin Reservoir, according to a military report given to Mitchell detailing the identification of her brother.

The battalion was spread out in a crescent, straddling an unimproved road, when the Chinese attacked in late November, the report said.

After a series of nighttime battles, MacLean’s battalion retreated south.

While it is unknown when or how MacLean was killed, he was reported missing after the Nov. 27 to Nov. 29 fighting.

Mitchell was coming up the stairs at Viverito’s house when she passed the telegram deliverer, who gave her the telegram, she said. Mitchell and her mother were visiting Viverito ahead of the holidays.

“They really don’t tell you anything only that at the time, he was missing in

action and that they didn’t have any other information on him,” she said. “I guess that’s how they informed everybody.”

They would watch the news looking for him and scour pictures of prisoners of war. Mitchell thought she saw him once. Even after the war ended and the years passed, they didn’t give up.

“It’s a thing where you don’t want to let go,” Mitchell said, adding that she didn’t want to believe the bones so carefully laid out in the report were MacLean’s.

But the report detailed the identification process and Mitchell came to terms with the fact that all her “maybe this and maybe that” scenarios weren’t going to come true.

MacLean’s remains were turned over by the Chinese in 1954 as part of Operation Glory, an exchange of war dead, the report said. The Chinese said they were the remains of an American serviceman who died and was buried on the eastern bank of the Chosin Reservoir.

The U.S. Army’s Central Identification Unit was unable to identify him at the time, and he was buried along with more than 800 other unidentified Korean War veterans at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu, it said.

In 2012, it was determined that new technology could make identification possible and the case was reopened, the report said. A DNA match confirmed the remains belonged to MacLean.

Mitchell has one more thing to do before she lays her brother to rest Aug. 31.

She wants to find rhododendrons to lay on her brother’s coffin, a reminder of the last thing he said to her.

“They were in my mother’s front yard,” she said.

“He said they were beautiful.

Then he got in a car and left.”

WASHINGTON – New signs are emerging that international sanctions are taking a deepening toll on Iran’s economy – putting billions of dollars in oil money out of the government’s reach. Yet there is no indication the distress is achieving the West’s ultimate goal of forcing the Islamic Republic to halt its nuclear program.

Iran has proved adept at working around sanctions and if oil prices don’t plummet, U.S. analysts say the country probably has enough economic stamina to reach what the West suspects is its true intention – producing nuclear weapons.

“They can hang on for a long time,” said Steve Hanke, a professor of applied economics at Johns Hopkins University who follows Iran’s economy. “The sanctions as a deterrent for nuclear ambitions are more or less futile because all the experts will tell you they can [make a weapon] in a couple years.”

Sanctions are at the core of international efforts to stop Iran’s nuclear program.

And if they fail, it will leave the West with some grim options. The U.S. and its allies may have to choose between accepting a nuclear-armed Iran run by hard-line clerics

Iranian President Hasan Rouhani speaks Aug. 15 at the parliament in Tehran, Iran. International sanctions have taken a deepening toll on Iran’s economy. Yet there is no indication the financial pressure is achieving the West’s goal of forcing the country to halt its nuclear program. or military action that could fuel more turmoil in the already tumultuous Middle East and still fail to cripple the nuclear facilities.

There is some hope that the recent election of President Hasan Rouhani, considered a relative moderate in a hard-line regime, could lead to a more conciliatory Iran.

But Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei controls the nuclear program and all

other major policy decisions, and he has maintained a tough stance.

Rouhani campaigned on a promise to seek relief from sanctions – something that many in the U.S. saw as one of the first tangible effects of sanctions on nuclear policy.

But he has also remained committed to the nuclear program, which Iran insists is exclusively for producing energy and medical research.

Iran’s new foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, said in a television interview aired Thursday night that sanctions can’t force Tehran to change its nuclear policy.

Zarif, who is expected to lead nuclear talks with the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany, claimed Rouhani is a new, more measured approach to diplomacy with the West.

Radioactive water in Japan nears Pacific Seepage has been creeping toward ocean since 2011 The ASSOCIATED PRESS TOKYO – Deep beneath Fukushima’s crippled nuclear power station, a massive underground reservoir of contaminated water that began spilling from the plant’s reactors after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami has been creeping slowly toward the Pacific.

Now, 2½ years later, ex-

perts fear it is about to reach the ocean and greatly worsen what is fast becoming a new crisis at Fukushima: the inability to contain vast quantities of radioactive water.

The looming crisis is potentially far greater than the discovery earlier this week of a leak from a tank that stores contaminated water used to cool the reactor cores.

That 80,000-gallon leak is the fifth and most serious from a tank since the March 2011 disaster, when three of the plant’s reactors melted down after a huge earthquake and tsunami knocked out the plant’s power and

cooling functions.

But experts believe the underground seepage from the reactor and turbine building area is much bigger and possibly more radioactive, confronting the plant’s operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co., with an invisible, chronic problem and few viable solutions. Many also believe it is another example of how TEPCO has repeatedly failed to acknowledge problems that it could almost certainly have foreseen – and taken action to mitigate before they got out of control.

It remains unclear what the impact of the contamina-

tion on the environment will be because the radioactivity will be diluted as it spreads farther into the sea.

Most fishing in the area is already banned, but fishermen in nearby Iwaki City had been hoping to resume test catches next month following favorable sampling results. Those plans have been scrapped after news of the latest tank leak.

“Nobody knows when this is going to end,” said Masakazu Yabuki, a veteran fisherman in Iwaki, just south of the plant, where scientists say contaminants are carried by the current.

Sixth woman accuses Oliver of raping her • BOND Continued from page A1 County Jail. Oliver has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

McHenry County Judge Sharon Prather on Friday rejected Oliver’s request to reduce his bond to $500,000.

There are five alleged victims, most of whom live outside McHenry County.

Many were either prostitutes or escorts. Oliver is said to have met the women

Skinner hearing was first for panel • ETHICS Continued from page A1 is not running for re-election next year.

The commission ruled at a July 25 hearing that Skinner’s complaint was insufficient to warrant forwarding it to the state’s attorney for prosecution. Skinner faces a fine up to $5,000 if the commission sides with Zinke in his countercomplaint.

Zinke’s attorney Mark Gummerson in a six-page filing requests that Skinner be penalized, alleging the complaint was meritless and caused harm to his client.

“On its face it is clear that the Undersheriff was merely advising the board members as to a baseless attack upon his person and his family, and the circumstances of such and was not political in nature, again as defined under the Ethics Ordinance,” Gummerson wrote.

Skinner’s attorney Robert Hanlon counters in a 16-page response that finding Skinner’s complaint frivolous after the commission “simply got it wrong” by dismissing it last month would silence whistleblowers and violate Skinner’s First Amendment rights.

The Ethics Commission has received three complaints since its 2005 seating, and Skinner’s was the first to go to a hearing.

“When government seeks to punish its citizens for advancing peaceable grievances, our system of government has failed and has arisen to a level of tyranny ... what Andrew Zinke is asking this commission for is an endorsement of tyranny,” Hanlon wrote.

The commission’s agenda following the hearing includes reviewing its ordinance and procedures in the wake of criticism. The issue of how the commission follows its own rules and procedures plays a role in Hanlon’s defense, just as it did when Gummerson challenged the commission at Zinke’s hearing.

Hanlon alleges in his response that the commission’s own rules forbid making a motion for dismissal during the hearing, which he said invalidates Zinke’s motion for sanctions against Skinner.

Furthermore, Hanlon alleges that the commission’s rules end the case the moment a complaint is found insufficient, meaning Zinke has no mechanism under the ordinance to pursue a claim against Skinner.

The July 25 hearing, in which the commission often appeared to be struggling with how to proceed, prompted the County Board’s Management Services Committee to pursue its own review of the ethics ordinance and the commission’s rules.

Skinner’s complaint is sure to become an issue in the acrimonious race to replace Nygren. Zinke is facing a GOP primary challenge from former Des Plaines Police Cmdr.

Bill Prim, and the winner would face independent candidate Jim Harrison, a labor lawyer and former sheriff’s deputy.

online and driven them to his Woodstock home, where police found multiple stacks of videos with thousands of images of unknown women engaged in sex acts, many of which do not appear consensual, Assistant State’s Attorney Sharyl Eisenstein has said.

Oliver’s defense attorney, Mark Facchini, said the videos don’t depict any force or threat of bodily harm.

“Not a single woman has a single injury to corroborate the stories they’re tell-

ing to the police,” he said.

But Eisenstein said the assaults happened before the camera started rolling. The women were beaten, tied up and shoved around, and were “cooperating out of fear of what could happen if they didn’t cooperate.”

Oliver paid the women in exchange for sex, lent them money or paid their traffic tickets, Facchini said. He pointed out that the women initially lied to police about how they met Oliver.

Eisenstein said she ex-

knew where they lived.

He also blackmailed one woman by texting her images of the assault, Eisenstein said.

Oliver also is charged with harassing a witness. After his initial release in January, he was charged with allegedly harassing the boyfriend of one of the alleged victims.

No trial date has been set.

Oliver faces between 95 and 120 years in prison if found guilty. His next court date is Friday.

A new alleged victim told police she was raped in the same manner as the others.

After the alleged attack, Oliver found the woman’s mother on Facebook, where he made more threats, Eisenstein said.

In the other cases, Oliver is said to have threatened to kill or shame the victims. He made copies of the women’s identification, or said that he had, in order to tell them he

8SKETCH VIEW

Woodstock gets spotlight The Northwest Herald Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs up and thumbs down: Thumbs up: To Woodstock for being named one of “5 Midwestern Small Towns to Visit Now” in a recent article on the popular travel website fodors.com. The article praised the historic Square and all it offers, such as the farmers market, La Petite Creperie, the bookstore Read Between the Lynes and the antique store Rare Rubbish. It’s always a win for the community and the county when one of the local municipalities is singled out for something positive.

Thumbs down: To state elected officials, for continuing to fail to come to an agreement on massive pension reform, despite it being crucial to helping resolve Illinois’ ever-growing fiscal crisis. The state’s five public pension systems are underfunded by $100 billion. Every day that number grows by millions. Yet there’s no sign of progress from a committee of 10 representatives and senators who have been working on the issue. Gov. Pat Quinn and the General Assembly have failed public retirees and taxpayers on this issue for years. Sadly, they continue to do so.

Thumbs up: To Brian Floriani and Bernie’s Book Bank for working to get books for underprivileged kids. On Thursday, Floriani was on hand to give 450 students at Meadowdale Elementary in Carpentersville six books apiece.

Since 2009, Floriani has given away more than 1.6 million books to children in the Chicago area.

Thumbs down: To the ongoing scandal at Metra. In the most-recent development, former Metra CEO Alex Clifford’s lawyer said his client would like to return to work at the embattled suburban Chicago transit agency and would be willing to rework his overbloated separation agreement to do so. Only in Illinois.

Thumbs up: To the people at the Cary-Grove AMVETS Pearl Harbor Memorial Post 245 and the Fox River Grove Boy Scout troops behind the annual picnic for hospitalized veterans held each year at Lions Park. The event along the Fox River has been held for 26 years and is a small but important way to thank and honor veterans with a cookout and day of fishing.

This year it entertained more than 300 vets. It’s a great tradition for the veterans and a perfect way to remind the rest of us about the importance of honoring our veterans.

Going nowhere on nukes A federal court recently delivered a muchdeserved rebuke of the Obama administration this week for its handling of the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump in Nevada.

It turns out the administration can’t simply ignore a law it doesn’t like – or at least couldn’t in this case. If the law says the Nuclear Regulatory Commission must review Yucca’s license application, then that’s what the NRC must do.

But make no mistake: The court decision has not in any meaningful way revived the site as a potential depository for the nation’s spent nuclear fuel. Indeed, we think it mainly highlights the dysfunctional state of civilian nuclear policy.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Waste of gas, money To the Editor: I would estimate that the amount of gasoline that is wasted daily trying to get into or out of Algonquin would almost equal the cost of the monstrosity that is currently being foisted upon our community.

The “interstate highway interchange” that supposedly will solve our traffic problems will rank right up there with the “Tyvek Towers.”

Folks, the traffic problem in Algonquin is a result of one bridge over the Fox River. An “interstate highway interchange” cannot move more people over that one bridge any faster, but it can, and is, wasting a huge quantity of gasoline daily.

They would prefer others less important than themselves do the dirty work. Just like those in our entertainment business that require armed security while railing against gun ownership.

When they accomplish their goal and remove our ability to own weapons, who do they think will defend them from the daily horrors of our streets in a timely fashion?

Unarmed private security, undermanned police forces or maybe some superhero played by another entertainer?

You don’t have to be a zealot from either side of the political scene to know that common sense makes better sense when representing the will of the people. Our politicians need to make laws that prevent crime rather than controling innocence.

Common sense best

Carl Smith

To the Editor: Our state has jumped on board with those leaning left who believe it’s not their responsibility to defend this country’s freedom.

Sheila Halasz Crystal Lake

What the butler saw, and what all of us also need to see WASHINGTON – You can know something intellectually but not emotionally and, therefore, not know it at all.

That’s what I realized after viewing “Lee Daniels’ The Butler.” I’ve read Taylor Branch’s Pulitzer Prizewinning history of the civil-rights era and watched old news clips of the burning of the church in Birmingham, Ala. But seeing on film how brutally blacks were treated – as second-, if not third-class citizens – is to feel the humiliation and pain.

That’s why I wish Chief Justice John Roberts and four of his Supreme Court colleagues would see it, too. Maybe it will help them understand how wrong they got it when they recently decided that we are so far past Jim Crow that we can dispense with a central provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. I’ll buy the popcorn.

The justices need to focus on some of the movie’s vivid, and most stomach-turning, scenes. They will see respectable white citizens of my parents’ generation spitting at, pouring hot coffee on and beating up young blacks – and in particular the son of the butler of the title – as they try to do the simple things in life: have a Coke at a lunch counter, drink at a water fountain, go to school.

Try to tell the children of those

civil-rights pioneers that we’re so beyond discrimination that we no longer need the rules to ensure that states (mostly Southern ones) don’t put into effect latter-day versions of the literacy test.

We see President Lyndon Johnson (on the toilet, in a gratuitous stab at authenticity) making it essential for Congress to pass the Voting Rights Act on top of the Civil Rights Act. Whites were doing everything they could to deny blacks access to the basic tools of democracy – to go to the polls without being harassed by intimidating and hostile clerks. Literacy tests and poll taxes had replaced Bull Connor’s snarling dogs and fire hose.

Like the justices – and the butler of the title – we’d like to think things are getting so much better that we can just hope for the best. Not so.

In 2013 alone, more than 80 measures to restrict voting rights – less blatantly racist than literacy tests but almost as pernicious – were introduced in 31 states. They are put forth as remedies, only no problem exists: The incidence of actual voter fraud hovers near zero. Kansas, where new rules are particularly harsh, has had more documented cases of UFO sightings than of voter fraud.

The movie is based on the life of Eugene Allen, a White House butler

Editorial Board: John Rung, Dan McCaleb, Jason Schaumburg, Kevin Lyons, Jon Styf, Kate Schott, Stacia Hahn

VIEWS Margaret Carlson who served eight presidents. Some liberties are taken, but the spine of the story is true. Cecil Gaines (played by Forest Whitaker) is the son of a sharecropper who rises to a respectable job in the White House.

He serves white people, but it’s the president and his family that he’s waiting on, not a brutal landowner.

And he’s attired in formal wear, not overalls, and delivers coffee on a silver tray. He sees and hears much, but loyally tells nothing, which mightily irritates his loving but boozing wife played by Oprah Winfrey (played so well, in fact, that you forget her talk-show-host persona).

If Cecil/Whitaker is the heart of the movie, Louis, his eldest son, is its soul. He is stirred by the injustice of attending an inferior school with no white kids, going to an all-black college and watching his father perform a menial job on what he sees as a plantation of a different kind. He joins the nonviolent Freedom Riders. Much of the rest of the movie juxtaposes his brutal treatment by the Ku Klux Klan and Southern sheriffs with the shame his father feels as his son sits in jail

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

instead of the classroom he worked so hard to get him into.

No parent, least of all this proud butler, can bear looking small in the eyes of his or her child. One cost of racism (Cecil is turned down twice when he asks to be paid as much as the white staff) is that Cecil must hide the wounds inflicted by the outside world from his son, who is just as determined to open them.

At dinner one night, the truth breaks through as Louis, who brought home his radicalized girlfriend, can no longer protect his father’s feelings. The senior Gaines coos over the success of actor Sidney Poitier. The junior Gaines puts down Poitier and his father as Uncle Toms who are only tolerated by the white man because they are servile.

To prove how far we haven’t come, Texas Republicans pushed a law through the legislature that allows a concealed-carry gun permit – but not a student ID – to be used as voter identification. A law in North Carolina imposes a special voter-ID requirement while invalidating several forms of government-or publicemployee ID, including student IDs and those issued by public-assistance agencies. It reduces early voting and eliminates same-day voter registration, both of which have been favored by the state’s black voters. It repeals a mandate for high

school voter-registration drives.

Now, like the butler asking for equal pay, you have to prove those laws are discriminatory rather than the state having to show they are not before implementing them.

In the movie, Cecil throws out his son after the confrontation at dinner. They don’t reconcile until the fairy tale, yet realistic, ending when Cecil, now retired, returns to the White House to see the first black president living there.

If the justices don’t see the light, perhaps the movie industry will.

Hollywood is generally unwilling to risk bankrolling serious movies told from a black perspective. “The Butler” came in at No. 1 at the box office over the weekend, kicking the tush of the higher-budget “Kick-Ass 2.”

I’m not suggesting that the Supreme Court should be influenced by box-office returns, only that the justices see for themselves how virulent the oppression was 50 years ago and why we still need rules to redress it.

Here’s to having the justices see “Lee Daniels’ The Butler 2,” the sequel, a few years from now. Let’s hope the damage they wrought by ignoring the lessons of the original isn’t irreparable.

McHENRY MAN GETS BURGLARY CHARGE WOODSTOCK – A 34-yearold man has been arrested in connection with a residential burglary after he allegedly ransacked a McHenry home, according to the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office.

Kevin S. Kosmicki of McHenry has been charged with felony counts of residential burglary and theft after investigators tracked stolen Apple products through the use of iCloud.

Deputies responded to a theft in the 3300 block of South Wright Road around 11 p.m.

Tuesday, according to a news release.

The resident told authorities that someone had entered the home through an unlocked door and taken electronics, jewelry, a knife and an undisclosed amount of cash.

Some of the stolen electronic items were tracked to Kosmicki, and the missing items were found at a nearby residence, the news release said.

Kosmicki remains at the McHenry County Jail on $100,000 bond.

D-200 seeking new leader Public input sought in search for new superintendent

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – District 200 will draw on public input at several points during the

process to replace retiring Superintendent Ellyn Wrzeski.

The process got underway this week as district officials released a rough timeline that starts with an online sur-

vey for the community and puts the school board in line for a hiring in early February.

aty Sullivan’s legs were taken from her at birth.

Jay Cramer lost the use of his in 2005. But the couple haven’t let that or anything else get in their way to becoming peer mentors and successful Hollywood actors.

On Friday the two were at Dundee-Crown High School – where Cramer was captain of the football team in 1993 – to deliver a motivational speech about overcoming obstacles and keeping a positive perspective on life.

Cramer, who was born in West Dundee, got the acting bug when he was at the University of Michigan.

After graduating with a degree in theater and drama performance, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in entertainment.

But in 2005, while training for a spot on the reality show “Survivor,” Cramer fell during a rock-climbing exercise. He was di-

“Before [the accident], I had gone through Second City. I had an agent. I was doing well,” Cra-

mer said. “Then I got injured, and everything got put on hold.”

During rehab therapy treatments in Los Angeles, Cramer was approached by Sullivan, who was a double bilateral, above-the-knee amputee.

Sullivan was a young actress who spent some time in the Chicago theater scene before moving to L.A. The two chatted about the Chicago Bears and friends they had in common. In 2009, they were married.

The couple’s acting résumés would be impressive for any budding actor trying to make it in Hollywood.

Cramer was named L.A.’s top newcomer comedian in 2007 and L.A.’s Funniest Comic in 2009. He’s had a commercial with Walmart and was on the ABC show “Desperate Housewives.”

Sullivan has been on “My Name is Earl,” “Last Man Standing” and “Legit” on FX. But one day, when

Cary Park District Students receiving free meals at Harvard schools refinances bonds

By JOSEPH BUSTOS

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com HARVARD – Last year, students in School District 50 ate for free during the week of the Illinois Standards Achievement Test.

The results: Classes were better attended, and students were better behaved, school officials say. Now the district is hoping the same will be true all school year at Jefferson School, Crosby Elementary and Washington School, where the district has qualified for a Community Eligibility Option.

“When we offered breakfast through ISAT, we saw positive results. We’ve known for a long time that good nutrition helps education.”

Bill Clow, District 50 spokesman Through the federally funded program, the district will for the first time provide free meals to all elementary students regardless of their economic standing.

“When we offered breakfast through ISAT, we saw positive results,” spokesman Bill Clow said. “We’ve known for a long time that good nu-

trition helps education.”

Through the program, schools with at least 40 percent of students identified as in need receive an established reimbursement for each lunch they hand out and agree to cover any excess costs themselves.

jbustos@shawmedia.com CARY – The Cary Park District on Thursday refinanced up to $8 million worth of bond issues in a move the district estimates will save $500,000.

Executive Director Dan Jones said the district has three debt issues out. One was used for the acquisition of Cary-Grove Park, one for the phase one development of Cary-Grove Park and one for the purchase of Foxford Hills Golf Club.

Payments of the bonds will remain on schedule and

not expire later than originally planned, Jones said.

The bond to pay off the Cary-Grove Park purchase is set to mature in 2019. The bond for the development of the park is scheduled to mature at the end of 2022. The bond for the purchase of Foxford Hills is set to mature in 2021.

“We’re trying to take advantage of the current market conditions,” Jones said.

The amount approved is for up to $8 million, as the final interest rate has yet to be determined, Jones said.

ISLAND LAKE: VILLAGE BOARD DECISION

Island Lake votes down video gaming

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com ISLAND LAKE – Video gaming machines still won’t be allowed in Island Lake.

The Village Board narrowly voted down an ordinance that would have allowed bars, restaurants, truck stops and fraternal and veterans clubs to install up to five machines.

Village President Charles Amrich cast the deciding vote at the board’s meeting Thursday evening, breaking a tie and killing the ordinance.

He pointed to the sizable opposition that attended the meeting, adding that a significant portion of the revenue goes to the machine opera-

Program will be evaluated after year • MEALS Continued from page B1 District 50 – with elementary schools registering a need rate of 41 percent – has been approved to receive $3.01 back for about two-thirds of lunches and $1.89 back for twothirds of breakfasts. It will be reimbursed 36 cents and 28 cents, respectively, for the other one-third of lunches and breakfasts.

Harvard pays $2.32 per lunch and $1.26 per breakfast through its current food services contract.

Using those figures, for 1,000 lunches, the district pays $2,320 and will get reimbursed $2,101. For 1,000 breakfasts, the district pays $1,260 and

will get reimbursed $1,337.

Business manager Mary Taylor said the district expects the money to be enough to cover all meals in full, with some funds potentially going toward overhead costs to keep up the kitchen.

Clow said the district does not expect to take on any of the expenses itself.

“The projections that we did, we feel very comfortable that we’ll be within that,” Clow said.

Already the program is causing a steep jump in the number of children eating school meals, specifically breakfast.

Last year, Crosby served about 250 breakfasts per day on average. It served 625 breakfasts each of the first

two days of school, which started Wednesday.

A similar jump occurred at Jefferson, where the breakfast total increased from an average of about 100 last year to about 345 breakfasts each of the first two days.

Washington School, a preschool, doesn’t serve breakfast.

In past years, the school’s students had relied heavily on the free and reduced lunch program, for which about 60 percent of District 50 students qualify.

Taylor said the district could choose to opt out of the Community Eligibility Option after a year if it doesn’t work out as planned.

“We’re going to be evaluating the program,” she said.

Continued from page B1 “It’s not going to affect us in a negative way,” Jones added. “The purpose is to save money over the course of time.”

Consolidating the debt and having a lower interest rate is expected to save the district $500,000 over the life of the bonds.

“It’s something that makes fiscal sense,” Jones said.

five to six weeks, Jones said.

The project will include reconstructing the parking lot and putting in a median between the parking lot and Briargate Road, Jones said.

The number of parking spaces also will increase to 72 striped paved spaces from 62.

Reconstruction of Briargate Road will go from Tiger Trail to the southern limits, the portion of the road in front of the park district’s community building, Jones said.

The project “is going to improve the safety in terms of pedestrian access to this building,” Jones said.

Park district officials held off on the project until after Labor Day so it wouldn’t affect the parking lot during the summer pool season.

“I voted ‘yes’ because I want to give our businesses the ability to compete at a fair level.”

Shannon Fox, Island Lake Village Board trustee tors and the local businesses where they’re housed.

The state takes a 25 percent cut, and local governments get 5 percent.

The ordinance wouldn’t generate enough revenue to make it worth it, Amrich said.

Trustee Shannon Fox, one of the three trustees who voted in favor of the ordinance, doesn’t think the meeting’s attendees were an accurate representation of how the

community as a whole feels about the proposal.

She spoke to many residents and business owners about it, she said, and they were in favor of it.

“I voted ‘yes’ because I want to give our businesses the ability to compete at a fair level,” she said. “It gives them a disadvantage compared to other area businesses which gain the increased food and liquor sales and the revenue from the gaming machines.”

It’s also not the government’s place to legislate morality, she said, adding that the revenue generated could have gone toward items such as new playground equipment.

Since a state law took effect allowing communities to legalize video gaming, many McHenry County communities decided to allow it. They include Algonquin, Huntley, Marengo, Harvard, McHenry, Richmond, Hebron, Johnsburg, McCullom Lake, Fox River Grove, Lake in the Hills, Spring Grove, Ringwood and Woodstock.

Some towns, such as Crystal Lake and Lakewood, have banned it.

Board plans to interview first round Johnsburg’s newest nonagenarian of candidates starting Jan. 10 and 11 • D-200 Continued from page B1 “Some districts, they keep it completely confidential,” Meyer said. “I don’t think that works well in Woodstock.”

District 200 is encouraging parents, students, staff members and the community to fill out a survey about the needs of the district and characteristics they’d like to see in their next superintendent.

That survey is available through Sept. 12 by visiting www.woodstockschools.org.

Hazard, Young & Attea – the district’s search firm – will organize focus groups and meetings Sept. 11 and 12 with a similar aim of determining what people want.

“Some districts, they keep it completely confidential.

I don’t think that works well in Woodstock.”

Paul Meyer, District 200 board president “I think the community likes to get involved, likes to give their input,” Meyer said. “I think that’s helpful to have.”

He added he thinks people will be looking for similar characteristics to Wrzeski.

He called the 12-year veteran of the position a great communicator and leader.

“It’d be nice to have somebody like what we have now.

That person is very good,” he said. “We’re looking for somebody with a lot of good skills.”

The board will hold the

first interviews with candidates Jan. 10 and 11, with interviews for semifinalists coming a week later. Board members will visit the districts of finalists the week of Jan. 27, Director of Community Services Carol Smith said.

Wrzeski announced her retirement in 2010, saying at first that she’d be gone by June 2012. But soon after, she pushed the date back two years.

Her last day is scheduled for June 30.

Wrzeski’s current pay is $219,000 a year.

I try to avoid catchphrases and buzz words; my Generation X-ness makes me too independent to follow those kinds of trends. But this week, “challenge zone” and “comfort zone” have been said so many times at our house that I feel like we are hosting a selfhelp talk show. (Watch out, Dr. Phil! Autumn and The Golfer, debuting this fall!) Daughter has the chance to make a move, literally, and she is having cold feet. The Golfer and I have been reinforcing the positives of the opportunity and she has been listing the advantages of staying put. Challenge zone vs. comfort zone. After encouraging Daughter to get out of her comfort zone, I wondered: how often do The Golfer and I push ourselves?

Let me say that a comfort zone is not a bad thing. The older you get, the more comfort you have earned. That is part of our push for Daughter. When you’re young, you need to This new fundraiser for TownSquare Players take those risks and chances without hesitabrings music, theater, magic, improv and storytelltion or over thinking.

past few years. I never imagined I could pull this off weekly. After a year and half though, I have come to enjoy the entire process, from thinking of a topic to making the Friday afternoon deadline.

Pilates has been a great way to constantly push myself into my challenge zone, physically. My teacher is always using that phrase in class and it is completely appropriate. The Wednesday trio of classes puts me in that zone every week. During the TRX class, she has started timing how long we can hold plank. (Yes, I do pay to have this kind of fun.)

Challenging? Very! But the more I do it, the less difficult it becomes. Not only does it build me up physically but mentally it gives me the confidence to try even more things.

That’s the funny thing I realized. The more time you spend in your challenge zones, the bigger your comfort zones become. Through learning new professional skills, conquering physical challenges or just making a decision that requires some faith in yourself, everything becomes a little bit easier. The Golfer’s newly learned skill set will make his next career transition smoother and I will probably be able to hold my plank for a minute longer within the next month. As for Daughter, we will know today what zone she has decided to be in for the next twelve months.

Enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend!

REVIEWS & LOCAL SHOWTIMES OF NEW MOVIES LOCAL SHOWTIMES

ON SCREEN NOW

“Lee Daniels’ The Butler” HHH 1/2 STARRING: Forest Whitaker, John Cusack, Lenny Kravitz, Oprah Winfrey, David Oyelowo PLOT: An African-American (Whitaker) eyewitnesses notable events of the 20th century during his tenure as a White House butler.

RATED: PG-13 for some violence and disturbing images, language, sexual material, thematic elements and smoking.

TIME: 2 hours, 12 minutes VERDICT: “You hear nothing. You see nothing. You only serve.” Such are the instructions Cecil Gaines receives as he embarks on his daunting new job at the Eisenhower White House in “Lee Daniels’ The Butler.” But of course Gaines, played by Forest Whitaker in a moving, grounded performance that anchors the film and blunts its riskier excesses, hears and sees everything. And that means over more than three decades on the job, he has a Forrest Gump-like view not only of the White House under seven presidents, but of the long arc of the civil rights struggle in 20th-century America. Much has been said about this movie’s potential future as an Oscar powerhouse. The speculation is natural – especially given its star-studded cast – but it takes away from the more important discussion of its simpler virtues, as an absorbing film that has the potential to teach a new generation (and remind an older one) about these crucial events. The story is inspired by a Washington Post profile of Eugene Allen, a White House butler from 1952 to 1986. Some anecdotes remain, but much is different.

Most importantly, Daniels and screenwriter Danny Strong create a father-son dynamic between Gaines and a rebellious older son, Louis (a terrific David Oyelowo), that serves as a backdrop against which the civil rights struggle can play out – through the eyes of black characters, not white ones, for a refreshing change. This is done most strikingly in a key montage in which Cecil and his fellow White House workers set up an elegant state dinner, china and crystal and all, while down South, Louis is protesting at a segregated lunch counter, leading to a harrowing confrontation. But the story begins in 1926, with the death of Cecil’s own father at the hands of the barbaric son of a landowner on a Georgia cotton farm. The elderly landowner (Vanessa Redgrave, beginning the celebrity cameo parade) takes Cecil into her home, where he first learns to be a butler – how to act, she tells him, like the room is empty even when he’s in it. Years later, working in a Washington, D.C., hotel, Cecil is noticed by a White House official, leading to a job there. His wife, Gloria, is immensely proud. Gloria, as you may have heard, is played by one Oprah Winfrey, and her performance is often restrained and quite moving. To her credit, you’re not thinking “Wow, Oprah!” in every scene; that in itself is no small triumph. Not all the star performances are successful. When we first see Robin Williams as Eisenhower, his head bald, it almost feels like we’re about to witness a “Saturday Night Live” skit.

Williams doesn’t overdo it, but the casting choice seems forced.

James Marsden, on the other hand, is a good choice as John F. Kennedy, with his handsome grin, boyish demeanor and Boston drawl. Liev Schreiber is amusing if a little broad as LBJ, and John Cusack is interesting as Richard Nixon, even though he looks nothing like him.

Alan Rickman and Jane Fonda, making the most of her one scene, make a surprisingly satisfying Ronald and Nancy Reagan. But what makes the film work, finally, are the soft-spoken Whitaker, whose dignified portrayal rivals his Oscar-winning work in “The Last King of Scotland,” and the powerful Oyelowo, whose Louis progresses over the years from determined and brave to angry and cynical, and ultimately to a seasoned older man. Their relationship gives structure to the broad story of civil rights in America – a story crucial to tell, and crucial to hear. Daniels and company may not have made a masterpiece, but they have made a film you should see. – The

Associated Press

“Paranoia”

HH

STARRING: Amber Heard, Liam Hemsworth, Harrison Ford PLOT: An entry-level employee at a powerful corporation finds himself occupying a corner office, but at a

dangerous price: he must spy on his boss’s old mentor to secure for him a multi-billion dollar advantage.

RATED: PG-13 for some sexuality, violence and language TIME: 1 hour, 46 minutes VERDICT: Thrillers about corporate intrigue run the risk of seeming rarefied and convoluted rather than suspenseful. That was the undoing of the high-profile Julia Roberts-Clive Owen starrer Duplicity a few years ago, and Paranoia might well suffer the same fate.

The story of an ambitious young techie recruited to spy on his boss’s archrival never really generates the life-and-death tension that would keep audiences involved. Despite glossy production values, the film seems unlikely to stir major box-office sparks. The script by Jason Hall and Barry L. Levy, based on a novel

by Joseph Finder, starts off with a lot of credibility problems. Adam lands a top position at Goddard’s company with remarkable ease, considering his track record has been less than stellar. His rise is so swift it isn’t hard to guess that Goddard has ulterior motives of his own. Of course, Adam is being used by both billionaires, so there isn’t much narrative surprise. It’s clear that everyone is duplicitous, but it isn’t always clear how their plotting proceeds with so few glitches. The writers try to heighten the stakes when one of Adam’s friends is run over in traffic, but the film never develops a true sense of jeopardy.

It also doesn’t help that there really isn’t anyone to root for in this game of cat-and-mouse. The easily manipulated, fiercely ambitious Adam isn’t the most likable protagonist, and a few shots of him placing a blanket over his ailing father (Richard Dreyfuss) are all-too-blatant attempts to win sympathy for a fairly soulless social climber. Both Stoddard and Wyatt are coldhearted sharks, and Adam’s love interest, a snooty Ivy League-educated executive (Amber Heard), isn’t endearing either. Hemsworth’s performance isn’t strong enough to put us on his side. The Hunger Games co-star certainly cuts a dashing figure, and his frequent shirtless scenes will please his fans, but he never fully engages our sympathy.

Oldman and Ford do relish their turns at corporate villainy, and Embeth Davidtz as Oldman’s steely associate brings considerable flair to her role. Director Robert Luketic hasn’t been able to sustain the promise he showed in his two early movies, “Legally Blonde” and “21.”

His recent movies increasingly have grown bland and formulaic. Technical credits, however, are strong.

The sleek environs of corporate offices and billionaire mansions are well caught by cinematographer David Tattersall and production designers David Brisbin and Missy Stewart. But the intrigue in high places never really has us on the edge of our seats, and the formulaic happy ending – fortified by some desperate voice-over narration provided to fill the holes in the plot – undermines the entire exercise.

The filmmakers may have hoped to make a timely commentary on the amorality in our executive suites, but they end up merely restating the obvious. Maybe the whole thing would have played better as a corporate comedy, the kind that Doris Day and Rock Hudson made some 50 years ago. – Stephen Farber, The

Hollywood Reporter

“Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters” H STARRING: Logan Lerman, Alexandra Daddario, Brandon T. Jackson, Nathan Fillion PLOT: To restore their dying 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-meets-contemporary 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 Washington Post

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 dog-days 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 Wash-

“PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS”

“JOBS”

ington Post

STARRING: Sharni Vinson, Nicholas Tucci, AJ Bowen PLOT: When the Davison family comes under attack during their wedding anniversary getaway, the gang of mysterious killers soon learns one of victims harbors a secret talent for fighting back.

RATED: R for “strong bloody violence, language and some sexuality/nudity” RUNNING TIME: 1 hour, 36 minutes VERDICT: “You’re Next” is a nasty little slasher film that starts poorly but gets better once most of the cast has been butchered. Indie film figures Joe Swanberg and Ti West play two attendees at a party where four siblings and their significant others are celebrating their parents’ 35th wedding anniversary. Most tolerable among this largely annoying crew are Crispian (A.J. Bowen), a college professor, and his Australian girlfriend, Erin (Sharni Vinson), but that’s not paying the two very high praise. The irritation factor grows substantially after the first slaying at this remote Tudor mansion, when half the female cast seems to be competing to shriek the longest. An unknown number of men, wearing animal masks and wielding crossbows (why not guns?), are stalking the family from without and within the house; since director Adam Wingard and screenwriter Simon Barrett have given themselves so many characters to kill, they start off with a few quick killings in which the victims are behaving so stupidly they’re practically asking to die.

Most frustrating during the film’s first half is that only one among the 10 characters, Erin, has anything approaching a self-preservation instinct. While others scream or stand around dumbly, she hustles off to lock windows and gather weapons. While the mask-wearing villains have a hard time delivering the kind of novel slayings horror fans demand, Vinson musters the ferocity to compensate – the moment she meat-tenderizes an attacker’s skull, the movie starts to turn fun. In the absence of sympathetic characters, a little humor would have gone a long way here. But aside from a near-miss sex scene in a bed shared by a corpse, there’s practically none on hand. Only when the reasons for the attack become clear does the movie find its feet, but “You’re Next” ends on a high enough note that buzz on the way out of the theater should work in its favor. – The Hollywood

Woman needs attitude check Dear Abby: I am in my late 20s and have been with my boyfriend for more than two years. We are serious, having lived together for a year, and we discuss marriage often. We make all our major decisions and purchases together and are generally very happy.

The problem arises when his children from a previous relationship are around (he shares custody with his ex).

I am overwhelmed by them.

They are very needy and have some minor manner problems. I am uncomfortable with all the attention they demand of me. They are literally always in my space, trying to sit on my lap or show me something, etc. It gets to the point where I just want to get away. Sometimes they’re OK

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips and we have some fun, but it’s the downtime at home that is annoying.

I am ashamed writing this, but I need some advice because the kids are obviously not going away. Will they grow out of this? It’s making me question if I can remain in the relationship. – Bothered In

Buffalo Dear Bothered: You need an attitude adjustment. I don’t think you realize what a compliment it is the children compete for your attention and want to be close to you.

A way to deal with this could

be to arrange to have one-onone time with EACH child while your boyfriend spends time with the others. It is very important they spend quality time with their father.

If you and he agree their manners need tweaking, it shouldn’t be too difficult to set a good example, and praise and reward them as they improve. When they grow older, they will develop interests of their own and be less needy.

But for now, it is important you work on being patient, show the children you care about them – and let your boyfriend know when you need a timeout. Everyone does.

Sleeping in on weekends not a good idea Dear Dr. K: My teenage son likes to sleep in on weekends, often until noon. Is it OK to let him do this?

Dear Reader: I’ve been asked this question by nearly every parent of teenagers I know. I checked with my Harvard Medical School colleague, pediatrician Dennis Rosen, who confirmed what I’ve been saying: Letting your son sleep in on weekends isn’t doing him any favors.

Teenagers should get nine hours of sleep a night. Most teens don’t, especially during the school week. As a result, they struggle to wake up on time for school.

A few days of this, and they’ve built up a significant sleep deficit.

Sleeping late on Saturday and Sunday may fill that deficit, but it creates a bigger problem: It shifts your teen’s inner clock further away from the external clock. That “inner clock” is kept in your brain. Your brain recognizes sunrise and sends signals throughout your body that prepares it to awaken and start functioning. Sunset does the opposite: A few hours af-

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff ter sunset, your body’s inner clock starts to power down.

In teenagers, the body clock is somewhat different from what it will be when they become adults. The clock starts to power down the body at a later hour, and it also starts to power up the body at a later hour. That’s why so many teens have trouble waking up in the morning.

So your son’s body clock naturally causes him to fall asleep later and to get up later. When your son stays up even later than his body clock wants him to, to finish homework or to chat with his friends on Facebook, he is exaggerating the natural time shift of his body clock.

On top of that, by sleeping late on weekends, your son is exaggerating that time shift even further. He is experiencing the equivalent of a fivehour jet lag when it’s time to get up on Monday morning.

The alarm clock may be

saying 6 a.m., but his inner clock is reading 1 a.m.. This will make it much harder for your teen to wake up, and to concentrate during the first hours at school. Over time, it also can significantly affect his mood.

As far as possible on weekends, try not to let your son sleep in more than an hour beyond his usual wake-up time. Here are some things you can do to get your teen out of bed: • Turn on all the lights in the bedroom and open the shades and curtains. Nothing says “wake up” more than bright light.

• Set an alarm clock across the room and out of reach from your son’s bed.

• Plan a morning outing with him.

In addition, don’t let him nap during the day. Napping will make it harder for him to fall asleep at night, which will make it harder to wake up the next morning.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

North West makes debut THINGS

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Saturday, August 24, 2013 • PlanitNorthwest.com/buzz

Baby North West has made her television debut.

Kanye West showed a photo Friday of his 2-monthold daughter with Kim Kardashian on Kris Jenner’s Fox show, “Kris.” The family matriarch also posted an image of her granddaughter on Twitter.

Though cameras constantly follow the Kardashian clan, this is the first time the newest member of the family has been publicly unveiled.

The photo shows a brown-haired baby reaching toward the camera.

West also discussed fatherhood and his relationship with Kardashian, calling her “my joy” during the season finale of Jenner’s talk show.

Moyer to be Capt. Von Trapp

Serena, Venus test culinary skills Could cooking be the new doubles endeavor for Serena and Venus Williams?

The two tennis superstars giggled and teased each other as they joined celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson in a cooking demonstration Thursday as part of the annual “Taste of Tennis” event, one of the many festivities leading up to next week’s U.S. Open championships in New York City.

The Williams sisters joined Victoria Azarenka and other tennis stars as they promoted culinary delights at the event, which benefits the James Beard Foundation. The Williams sisters joked about borrowing each other’s clothes and talked about their favorite U.S. Open moments (when each won her first championship) as they helped Samuelsson make tacos and a cocktail. (Venus had a vegan taco while Serena tasted a fish one.)

Earlier in the evening, Serena Williams boasted about her own cooking skills: “I make anything and everything. ... I’m most proud of my raw tacos. I do it with nuts. I dehydrated the nuts and created the raw tacos, it was delicious.”

Serena says her eating habits have changed over the years to become more healthy, but thinks her change reflects a national conversation about food.

“People as a whole just know more about health and are conscious about what to eat,” she said. “I am definitely eating more greens and drinking more greens, and that kind of thing.”

Steven Moyer will play Capt. Von Trapp in NBC’s upcoming live production of “The Sound of Music.”

The network announced Friday the “True Blood” star has been cast in the Dec. 5 holiday special. Carrie Underwood is set to play the governess Maria.

The production is based on the 1959 Broadway play and produced by Academy Awards telecast producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron.

Moyer was last seen on stage in a production of “Chicago” at the Hollywood Bowl, in which the actor portrayed Billy Flynn.

Lovato to appear in ‘Glee’ Demi Lovato is taking her big voice to “Glee.”

The 21-year-old singer-actress will appear in multiple episodes of the show’s upcoming fifth season, her publicist confirmed Friday.

“Glee” star Lea Michele tweeted Thursday she was excited two of her “very best friends” – Lovato and Broadway vet Phoebe Strole – would appear on the Fox show, and thanked creator Ryan Murphy for making it happen.

Lovato is in her second year as a mentor on “The X Factor.”

She starred on the Disney Channel’s “Sonny With a Chance” for two seasons.

The new season of “Glee” premieres 8 p.m. Sept. 26.

Lawyers settle Deen lawsuit Attorneys have signed an agreement to dismiss a sexual

harassment and discrimination lawsuit against celebrity cook Paula Deen and her brother.

A document filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Savannah, Ga., said both sides reached a settlement “without any award of costs or fees to any party.”

Former employee Lisa Jackson sued Deen and her brother, Bubba Hiers, last year saying she worked for years in an environment rife with racial slurs and sexual innuendo as manager of Uncle Bubba’s Seafood and Oyster House in Savannah.

Deen says in a statement she is “looking forward to getting this behind me,” but says she also plans to review workplace environment issues raised in the lawsuit.

A judge dismissed the race discrimination claims on Aug. 12.

Bennett attends March on Washington Tony Bennett plans to travel to the nation’s capital to pay tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. as the March on Washington marks its 50th year.

Bennett, who marched with the civil rights leader in Selma, Ala., in 1965, is scheduled to perform as part of today’s festivities commemorating the historic march and King’s “I Have A Dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial.

The entertainer said Thursday he wants to honor King’s humanitarian message, but will also be in Washington as part of the Voices Against Violence campaign that is pushing for gun limits. The Rev. Al Sharpton is holding an event today with King’s son, Martin Luther King III. And President Barack Obama will speak on the actual anniversary day Wednesday.

Volleyball to continue as top girls sport in McHenry County

By MAUREEN LYNCH For the past two decades, volleyball in McHenry County has emerged as the top girls sport, routinely breeding some of the best teams in the state led by some of the nation’s top players.

This year, it appears the trend will continue. Never lacking storylines, here are a few things to watch and consider as the season unfolds and teams again make a case for an appearance in the state semifinals.

In the FVC Fox Crystal Lake Central, Fox Valley Conference Fox Division winners or co-champions for six of the past seven seasons, should again be difficult to stop. The Tigers lost just one senior from their 2012 campaign when they finished 26-9 overall. Lauren Leverenz, a senior middle hitter committed to St. Louis University, feeds off of opponents’ energy. Senior middle Rachael Schoepke completes what could be the division’s strongest middle combo. Veteran setter Natalie Ricca takes charge all over the

court. Kassi Dvoracek moves from libero to the outside alongside Krissy Pratt – additional pieces in a strong offense that now knows what to expect in Class 4A. “This year’s team is more experienced and has played together for the last few seasons,” Central coach Lisa Reddish said. “Our team … has some great leadership from our senior class.”

Johnsburg’s Ashly Schmitt ensures the Skyhawks will not be overlooked.

Johnsburg may only have nine players, but Schmitt plays for at least two. What Woodstock North lacks in offseason club experience, the Thunder compensates for with overall athleticism and senior leadership. Woodstock should improve on last year’s seven-win season behind seniors Megan Pautrat and Rachel Lohmeyer. Hampshire will rely on a young cast to handle passes from setter Brittany Laffin.

Carly Nolan, Crystal Lake South’s junior outside, is one of the best players in the area who remains uncommitted.

Nolan, also a strong student, has talked to coaches from Northwestern and Notre Dame, among others. Avalon Nero, South’s other outside committed to Troy University, is equally dangerous. The Gators setter, Cassie Sivesind, received a few solid reps during important matches last season and shouldn’t have much trouble distributing to an attack that includes middle hitter Nicole Slimko. “[The Gators] know their success will be directly related to their hard work and teamwork,” South coach Jorie Fontana said.

Prairie Ridge remains a significant threat, especially if setter Taylor Otto can remain healthy. Otto has battled an ankle injury since last fall. Outside, Kennedy McNeil was dangerous during the Wolves’ run to the Class 4A supersectional and a quiet leader. Expect McNeil to be more demonstrative this season, if not vocally then certainly at the pins.

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush

Trestman unveils bag of tricks And you were worried about the Bears’ offense. At what point in the first half of the Raiders game did it become impossible to resist the temptation, so you ran to the phone, called your best buddy and started singing the Bears fight song and screaming break up the Bears?

In the first team’s final dress rehearsal for the regular season, coach Marc Trestman finally unveiled his bag of tricks and showed you everything you’ve longed to see. The first play of the game featured three tight ends, then it was two tight ends, two running backs and one receiver, then three receivers, one tight end and one running back and every other combination of positions you could imagine.

The first touchdown came with Matt Forte and Michael Bush in the same backfield on a swing pass to Forte that turned into a 32-yard catch-and-run that finished in the end zone.

With 10 minutes to play in the second quarter, Jay Cutler had targeted seven different receivers on four possessions, the score was 24-0, Alshon Jeffery was the star of the game and Brandon Marshall was an afterthought.

At times, the game resembled a high school football scrimmage with the varsity taking on the freshmen. But to dwell on that would be to miss the point. The Bears didn’t choose their opponent, they just beat the stuffing out of them. How many times did they fail to polish off a cupcake last year?

More to the point, they accomplished just about everything they could have hoped to in their final prep for the Bengals. The defense looked like Lovie Smith and Rod Marinelli were still orchestrating one of the best units in the NFL, kind of. I’ll get back to that in a moment. And Robbie Gould ended the first half scoring with a 53-yard field goal, proving he is fully recovered from offseason hamstring surgery.

The first-half totals for the first-string offense were 252 total yards, 110 rushing, 142 passing and a 27-3 lead.

As you’d expect from a West Coast offense a ton of it run through Matt Forte who had 77 yards rushing and 33 receiving with a touchdown.

Former coach Latham to celebrate 100 years VIEWS Joe Stevenson Alden-Hebron and Quincy were destined since 1952 to be remembered together in the history of Illinois basketball.

But no one back then, a lifetime ago, could have ever imagined what would become of some of the principles in one of the state’s most famous championship games.

Quincy’s coach, George Latham, will celebrate his 100th birthday Saturday at the Lake Bluff Country Club. Among the guests attending will be A-H’s Phil and Paul Judson and Bill Schulz.

A-H, a tiny, barnstorming powerhouse from northern Illinois, was the smallest school ever (98 students) to win the state championship in the old one-class system. Quincy, with four times as many students in only three grades, lost to the Giants, 64-59, in overtime.

The story was legendary. So much so that just after 2000, IHSA assistant executive director Scott Johnson set out with his wife, Julie Kistler, to write the book “Once There Were Giants.” While Johnson and Kistler researched

SECTION C

Bears pass every test That went well.

Really well.

Yes, I know, the Bears beat up on the hapless Oakland Raiders, a once proud franchise that now is about one chuckle short of a laughingstock. And, yes, I know it’s the preseason, and we shouldn’t read too much (good or bad) into these games.

But as the following checklist shows, the Bears’ starters on both sides of the ball passed every test in their third game of the preseason.

Here’s some news that is even better. The real action is only 15 days away.

Starting offense Task: Score at least one first-half touchdown

Grade: PASS

apart,” said Sue Filippo, Latham’s daughter who lives in West Chicago. “Mentally, he’s so sharp it’s unbelievable.”

Forget one first-half touchdown. Try three. Yes, the Raiders seem to know as much about tackling as Rod Blagojevich knows about ethics, but the Bears’ firstteam offense deserved plenty of credit for its sustained drives. Matt Forte dashed down the sideline to turn a swing pass into a 32yard touchdown, and Michael Bush rumbled forward for a pair of north-south scores. Not bad. Not bad at all.

3 AND OUT Three moments

1.

2.

Matt Forte had a fantastic 32-yard touchdown catch-and-run. Forte showed great vision and speed, but don’t forget the downfield blocks by Martellus Bennett and Alshon Jeffery that helped spring him.

The play was simple – Jay Cutler to Jeffery on an out route to get a first down. Why was it noteworthy? The Raiders brought a blitz, and Cutler had plenty of time to throw, an unfamiliar sight for this offense. Michael Bush scored two plays later.

3.

Friday night was all about the offense, but the first-team defense was suffocating in the first half. The best play came when Tim Jennings lost his footing, but still made a diving interception on an underthrown ball from Matt Flynn.

Three who impressed

1.

2.

Matt Forte was sensational. Forte had 76 yards rushing on only six carries in the first half, continuing to show the potential of what he can do in Marc Trestman’s offense.

Everyone has raved about Alshon Jeffery’s preseason, and rightfully so, but he had zero targets last week. That changed in Oakland, when he made plays on slants and out routes, finishing the first half with seven catches for 77 yards.

3.

Lance Briggs had a stop for no gain and also made an open-field tackle on third-and-short to force a punt.

Three who struggled

1.

Fendi Onobun got a few reps with the first team, but the memorable one came on another crucial drop. It may have been underthrown, and Onobun slipped early in his route, but it was a bad drop and Onobun’s second of the preseason. His margin for error is extremely slim.

2.

There are no concerns about Brandon Marshall, but while Cutler found success throwing to Jeffery and handing to Forte, his favorite target did him no favors. Marshall had two drops in the first half, one of them on third down.

3.

Zack Bowman didn’t struggle, but his hamstring injury is worth noting as a negative from the game. The Bears are already thin at corner behind the starters, so they have to hope that Bowman’s injury isn’t anything serious.

Three quick hits

1.

Defense was dominant in shutting down Raiders 2.

• ARKUSH Continued from page C1 3.

Robbie Gould is having a tremendous preseason. He hit both his field-goal attempts in the first half, including a 53-yarder.

Jay Cutler was 12 for 21, 142 yards, 1 TD and 0 Ints and Alshon Jeffery had 7 catches for 77 yards. The only slight disappointments were Cutler, who was inaccurate at times and Brandon Marshall was shut out on four targets including two flat – out drops.

As I mentioned, the defense was dominant, allowing the Raiders just 92 yards of offense

with 40 of those yards coming in the last minute of the half with Terrelle Pryor running a two-minute drill. It took a 58-yard Sebastian Janikowski field goal for the Raiders to dent the scoreboard.

Picking right up where they left off last year, the Bears had two interceptions from Tim Jennings and Isaiah Frey. Jennings made a spectacular break on the ball but also, much like last year, those picks were very much about terrible throws by Matt

Flynn.

In fact, here it is important to point out it’s hard to know if we learned as much about the Bears’ defense as we did about how awful the Raiders were.

But here’s what was new and exciting on defense.

On successive plays on the Raiders’ second possession, defensive coordinator Mel Tucker called a safety blitz from Chris Conte and then a corner blitz from Charles Tillman. The Bears blitzed twice more and made it clear this

will be Tucker’s 4 - 3 “D” and not Lovie Smith’s Cover 2.

Finally, there were the rookies. Individual grades have to wait for the film but the offensive line gets the highest compliment it can.

Jay Cutler never got dirty and not a single O-lineman did a thing to get noticed.

• Hub Arkush covers the Bears for Shaw Media and HubArkush.com. Write to him at harkush@shawmedia. com.

All of us should be grateful for Bears performance • MUSICK Continued from page C1 Starting defense Task: Notch at least one first-half takeaway Grade: PASS Ho hum. Just another impressive performance by the Bears’ veteran-laden defense.

In the first quarter, Tim Jennings stepped forward to intercept Raiders quarterback Matt Flynn. That takeaway set up the Bears’ first touchdown one play later. In the second quarter, Isaiah Frey showed great focus to intercept another one of Flynn’s passes across the middle. After Frey’s pick, a camera showed some of the Bears’ defensive coaches high-fiving each other in the booth. It was tough to blame them.

Jay Cutler Task: Target someone other than Brandon Marshall Grade: PASS Cutler feigned annoyance during practice this week

when he was asked about spreading the wealth – last week against San Diego, he targeted Marshall five times out of five. Based on Friday’s game, someone got the message through to Cutler that he has more than one target on offense. Cutler’s first pass went to Alshon Jeffery, and his second pass went to Martellus Bennett.

Someone other than Brandon Marshall Task: Catch the ball when Cutler targets you Grade: PASS Jeffery capitalized on his opportunities, catching seven passes for 77 yards before halftime. It’s going to be important this season for Jeffery to gain Cutler’s trust on a full-time basis, particularly if a concussion continues to keep veteran Earl Bennett off of the field. Surprisingly, it was Marshall who struggled to catch the ball, dropping an easy pass on third down that forced the Bears to settle for a field goal.

Rookies on the offensive line Task: Take another step

Devin Hester Task: Earn a spot on the

toward starting in Week 1 Grade: PASS Raise your hand if you missed seeing J’Marcus Webb line up with the first-team offensive line in the first half.

Yeah, we didn’t think so.

The rookie tandem of right guard Kyle Long and right tackle Jordan Mills provided another reason to suggest that they will line up with the starters come Sept. 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

highlight reel Grade: PASS Hester did not score, but he provided some excitement when he fielded a Raiders punt off of one bounce and darted 19 yards with a (mostly) straightaway burst.

There’s no doubt that Hester looks refreshed and confident heading into the regular season.

Jon Bostic Task: Prove that you’re more than a one-hit wonder Grade: PASS Bostic flashed in each of the Bears’ first two preseason games, but only for one play apiece. Against the Raiders, Bostic provided several great plays by chasing down Flynn on one run, containing Terrelle Pryor in one-on-one coverage on another, and stuffing running back Rashad Jennings in the backfield for a 1-yard loss.

All of us Task: Be grateful Grade: PASS Whenever something goes wrong for the Bears this season – and something will go wrong, it’s inevitable – just take a deep breath, unclench your fists and remind yourself that it could be worse.

You could be a Raiders fan.

Backup wide receiver battle update: Terrence Toliver, Joe Anderson and Marquess Wilson all got reps with the first-team offense.

Wilson is the only one that caught a pass from Cutler, though.

Isaiah Frey’s big summer continued with an interception, his first of the preseason, but we saw plenty in Bourbonnais.

1

. Marc Trestman and the Bears answered a lot of questions in Oakland about what their new offense is going to look like.

Forget the 27 first-half points. With Trestman game-planning for the first time this preseason, the Bears did not run two straight plays in the first quarter out of the same personnel groupings. The first play of the game featured three tight ends. We saw two running back formations that featured both Tony Fiametta at fullback in front of Matt Forte and Michael Bush, and Forte and Bush in the backfield together for a 32-yard TD pass to Forte.

. With Fiametta being the only fullback on the roster and the number of plays with the first-team offense that featured the fullback as a lead blocker on the run, it’s hard to imagine Fiametta not being one of the Bears’ final 53. . On the Bears’ first three possessions, the depth chart at tight end behind Martellus Bennett reads Steve Maneri (two) and Fendi Onobun (three). After Onobun dropped a pass thrown behind him, but catchable, Kyle Adams came on where Onobun had been.

Maneri is in, Onobun and Adams continue to battle for one spot.

8SPORTS SHORTS Huntley’s Sullivan commits to Chicago St.

MCC volleyball drops first two matches of season

Huntley senior shortstop Matt Sullivan has committed to play baseball next year at NCAA Division I Chicago State.

Sullivan was a Northwest Herald All-Area first-team selection last spring when he hit .393 with three home runs and 23 RBIs for the Red Raiders, who tied for the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division title with Crystal Lake South.

Sullivan committed seven errors, had a .430 on-base percentage and scored 22 runs.

McHenry County College’s volleyball dropped its first two matches of the season at the Kankakee Early Bird Challenge.

MCC fell to Kankakee Community College 25-13, 25-21, 25-14 and to Joliet Junior College 26-24, 29-27, 25-19.

Liz Simonelli had 28 digs, Danielle Pautrat had 36 assists and Lilliana Klay had 26 kills for the Scots (0-2). MCC plays Illinois Central and Kaskaskia in the tournament Saturday.

CUBS ANALYSIS

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Rizzo confident best is yet to come

By GORDON WITTENMYER Chicago Sun-Times SAN DIEGO – Anthony Rizzo has the long-term contract, left-handed power and until this week the marquee No. 3 spot in the Cubs’ lineup.

What he doesn’t have is the production this year to back it up in a perform-orsink business or the kind of red-ass demeanor that would suggest he’s even impatient about the up-and-down year he’s having.

So who is Rizzo as he returns to the scene of his big-league debut with barely five weeks left in his first full season in the majors?

And who will he become?

More Prince Fielder or more Adam LaRoche – or Lyle Overbay?

“Yeah, he was here for three months,” Cubs manager Dale Sveum said of Rizzo’s successful debut half-season for the Cubs last year. “But we fort it’s his first year ever playing every single day at a major-league level.

“Look at [San Diego’s] Chase Headley. Rizzo’s having a monster year compared to Chase Headley, and he was almost an MVP last year.

“And this is [Rizzo’s] second year of doing this. So that 20 [homers] and 68 [RBIs] he has isn’t a complete disaster.”

With so few Cub players commanding attention at the major league level for the club’s long-term hopes, it’s easy to criticize and rip guys like Starlin Castro and Rizzo – especially after the front office gave each a seven-year cost-containing contract.

“Like I told them, part of being Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro is dealing with an everyday – whether you want to call it a beat-down or not – it’s dealing with know-

And it’s not going away.

“When it goes away, then something really bad happened. So you’ve got to understand that’s part of the gig, especially in these markets.”

Rizzo, who struggled in a 49-game big-league debut with the San Diego Padres in 2011, returned last August on a major-league high – a .300 hitter with nine home runs in his first six weeks as a Cub at that point.

Now? The 24-year-old first baseman isn’t sure of anything except that he says, “I’m a big leaguer now.

Last year I wasn’t. I was still coming up making my way.”

It’s not exactly a smooth path he’s on this year.

“Times like even these now, where I have the home runs and somewhat the RBIs, I look at it and I could be so much better,” he said. “And that’s something to kind of hang your hat on.

“What I’m doing right now to be honest is at my worst.”

But he said the only thing to do is stay focused on getting better and look forward to what the experience might mean for next year.

“You have to get through

this, more mentally than physically,” Rizzo said. “Physically I feel better than I’ve ever felt. It’s more just that mental grind. When the whole process sets in I think that’s when it’s going to be great.”

The Cubs are counting on it, with both him and Castro, 23. They need these guys to be there when the rest of the projected core gets to the big leagues – and be established well enough to show the way to them.

“Sometimes we want too much now,” Sveum said. “We get too carried away – and wer’e all at fault for that – be-

cause it’s a production-oriented business. We have to catch ourselves and understand our main job is for these guys to be 26 years old, primed and ready to really produce and be consistent on an everyday basis.”

Note: The Cubs completed the Matt Garza trade with Texas by acquiring righthander Neil Ramirez via waiver claim as the player to be named later. The Cubs waited three weeks to make their decision to assure Ramirez’s health after a brief stay on the minor-league DL. He was assigned to Class AA Tennessee.

WHITE SOX ANALYSIS

Pierzynski gets warm reception Ex-Sox catcher surprised by former team’s woeful season

By TONI GINNETTI tginnetti@suntime.com They were the last of the 2005 World Series champion White Sox, so Paul Konerko’s thoughts on A.J. Pierzynski as he returned in another uniform Friday were meaningful.

“You learn from your teammates, but we were always thought of as equals – at least in my mind,’’ he said. “That stuff didn’t exist, like, ‘Hey, let me show you how to do this.’ It was always an even playing field there.

“I actually, if anything, looked at him more because he had been on more winning teams with Minnesota – what made that tick, trying to figure out why were those teams so good.

“He had played in a lot more important games than I had played in still, when it comes to playoff baseball.

“But you know, it was definitely a good eight years when he was here. Obviously, A.J. is A.J., but the guy comes to play and he’s a great player.’’

Pierzynski, allowed to leave as a free agent after last season, is still a good player for the Texas Rangers, hitting .279 with 14 home runs and 53 RBI. And he appears headed to the playoffs again as his old team deals with a woeful season in the cellar.

That is not something Pierzynski expected – or likes.

“Obviously, I’m a little surprised because coming in they had high expectations,’’ he said of the Sox, who saw their six-game win streak end with a 11-5 loss for Chris Sale (9-12).

AP photo

Texas Rangers catcher A.J. Pierzynski waves to the crowd after receiving a standing ovation from White Sox fans during the first inning of Friday night’s game at U.S. Cellular Field. Pierzynski played for many years with the Sox before leaving as a free agent.

The Rangers hit five homers, including one inside the park by Ian Kinsler in the third. Left fielder Dayan Viciedo couldn’t find the ball hiding under the wall mats, bringing an argument from manager Robin Ventura – and his eventual ejection.

Sale matched his ca-

reer-worst game with eight runs allowed.

“Talking to some guys I’m friends with, they’re obviously disappointed where they’re at right now,’’ Pierzynski said of the Sox. “I don’t want to see them do poorly. There’s no ill feelings towards the White Sox organization on my end. Obviously when we play them,

I want to see them lose, but other than that I have no ill will, no hard feelings.

“I’m surprised just because I thought going into the year with [John] Danks coming back and [Jake] Peavy healthy and Sale healthy for another full year, I thought they’d have a chance. Their bullpen was solid.

“To see where they are and where they’re sitting right now is a little surprising because I thought, obviously like everyone else, they’d be better.’’

There are no hard feelings toward Pierzynski from the South Side, as a video tribute to him in the first inning and the standing ovation he got in his first at-bat proved.

Though Pierzynski and Alex Rios – traded to the Rangers two weeks ago – are opponents now, both were cheered for what they were as Sox. “This obviously was a special place and I had a lot of great memories,’’ Pierzynski said. “Coming in today, seeing people, the people who nobody knows, the workers, the behind the scenes people, it’s cool.

I miss those people. I miss the city and the fans. It’s nice to come back, and I’ll be honest, I’ll be happy when it’s over and I can just move on.’’

Moving on doesn’t mean forgetting. “Obviously the World Series is No. 1,’’ he said. “No one can ever take that away from that group of guys. It’s a very special group of guys that came together and got along and did special things in a city that hadn’t seen that in almost 100 years.

“Those guys are friends of mine for life and those are still some of my best friends on Earth, the guys on that team.

“Then, off the field, both my kids were born here.

This is all they knew until this year, they only knew White Sox.’’

RANGERS 11, WHITE SOX 5 Texas

White Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale reacts to giving up an inside-the-park home run to the Rangers’ Ian Kinsler during the third inning Friday.

Rangers hit 5 HRs CHICAGO – Ian Kinsler raced around the bases for a bizarre inside-the-park homer and Adam Rosales had a conventional two-run shot, helping the Texas Rangers beat the White Sox, 11-5, on Friday night.

The AL West-leading Rangers (75-53) had five homers in all while winning for the 19th time in 23 games to move a season-high 22 games over .500.

Jeff Baker and pinch hitter Mitch Moreland each had two-run shot, and Adrian Beltre belted a solo drive.

The Sox were unable to overcome a shaky outing by ace Chris Sale, ending a season-high six-game winning streak. Sale (9-12) allowed eight runs and eight hits in seven innings.

A.J. Pierzynski and Alex Rios each had a nice night in their return to U.S. Cellular Field for the first time since leaving the Sox. Pierzynski, who signed with Texas as a free agent in the offseason, went 1 for 4 with a sacrifice fly. Rios, who was traded to the Rangers on Aug. 9, had two hits and scored two runs.

Pierzynski received a standing ovation when he was introduced in the first inning.

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL PREVIEWS FOX VALLEY CONFERENCE VALLEY DIVISION Cary-Grove Coach: Patty Langanis, 20th season Last year’s record: 14-16 overall, 5-7 FVC Valley (fifth) Top returners: Meghan Seymour (sr., S); Kaylie Trausch (sr., MB); Abby Schebel (jr., OH) Key newcomers: Sarah Graham (so., OH); Bree Coffey (jr., DS); Delaney Bayer (so., DS); Morgan Lee (jr., MB) Outlook: The Trojans will enter the season a little banged up, having lost two certain contributors – sophomore outside Ally Vaszquez and sophomore middle Ally Splitt – to surgeries, Langanis said. Lee also is recovering from a torn ACL suffered during basketball season. Nonetheless, Langanis sees great promise and feels the keys to success are in place. Look for Seymour, a Northern Michigan University recruit, to be the Trojans’ leader on the court.

Crystal Lake South Coach: Jorie Fontana, sixth season Last year’s record: 27-10 overall, 11-1 FVC Valley (co-champions with Prairie Ridge) Top returners: Avalon Nero (sr., OH); Carly Nolan (jr., OH); Nicole Slimko (sr., MH) Key newcomers: Cassy Sivesind (jr., S); Emma Burkle (jr., MH); Sara Mickow (sr., MH) Outlook: South has two of the conference’s best outside hitters in Nolan and Nero, who recently committed to Troy University. Slimko, a Bowling Green recruit, only became more powerful as the 2012 season went on. Sivesind appeared in a handful of matches last season, so she is familiar with the Gators’ hitters. A very solid club player, Sivesind shouldn’t have trouble piloting one of the conference’s deepest teams.

Dundee-Crown Coach: Christine Hopkins-Muehl, second season Last year’s record: 14-22 overall, 1-11 FVC Valley (seventh) Top returners: Emily Michalski (sr., MH); Kaylee Sommers (sr., L); Franki Scarpelli (sr., DS); Lauren Lococo (jr., OH); Alissa Wika (sr., OH); Audrey Martin (sr., S); Payton DeLuga (jr., OH); Kathryn Novy (jr., MH) Key newcomers: Kiana Mays (jr., OH); Mandy Mosher (jr., S); Kagan Faulkner (jr., L); Frankie Cavallaro (so., S); Kailey Moll (so., MH); Ashley Raby (so., RSH); Breanna Novak (jr., OH); Ayana Gard (fr., MH) Outlook: The Chargers are optimistic about their chances in what Hopkins-Muehl knows is a stacked conference. Having such a large group of underclassmen should help D-C lay a foundation for years to come. Look for more from Wika this season, who established herself at the pins last year.

Huntley Coach: Karen Liss, second season Last year’s record: 17-20 overall, 6-6 FVC Valley (fourth) Top returners: Kelsey DeWulf (jr., S); Emily Westermyer (sr., OH); Erin Lyman (sr., OH); Rachel Shores (sr., L); Britney Gundlach (sr., MB); Eilish Regan (sr., DS); Rachael Kisten (sr., OH); Key newcomers: Ally Dion (fr., OH); Alex Kisten (so., OH); Erin Orb (jr., OH) Outlook: Where the Red Raiders were young last year, they are experienced.

Huntley is riding a wave of confidence after winning the Great Lakes summer league and shedding the program’s rebuilding tag. Liss predicts her team will be tough this season, which will match its schedule. Outside of conference play, the Raiders head to stacked tournaments including joining South and

FIVE PLAYERS TO WATCH ALI FRANTTI Richmond-Burton, sr., OH Frantti is one of the top outside hitters in the country and one of Penn State’s prized recruits. Frantti helped the Rockets to a second-place finish in the Class 3A state tournament last season and led her Club Fusion 17 Black team to an AAU Junior National championship this summer.

LAUREN LEVERENZ Crystal Lake Central, sr., MH Leverenz is one of the last vestiges from the Doug Blundy era at Central, and she is poised to leave her own mark on the middle hitter position there. Committed to Saint Louis University, Leverenz isn’t just a front row player. She added 197 digs from the back row last year.

AVALON NERO Crystal Lake South, sr., OH Nero proved difficult to stop last year and was a big reason behind the Gators’ tie for first in the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division with Prairie Ridge. Nero, a Troy University recruit, has a good eye for the court and puts herself in the right positions to terminate.

CARLY NOLAN Crystal Lake South, jr., OH Nolan is getting courted by several schools, especially after a strong showing during club season with Sky High’s 16 Black team. Nolan was one of the Gators’ go-to options last fall, but she enters this year more polished and confident than ever.

TAYLOR OTTO Prairie Ridge, sr., S Otto has battled an ankle injury on and off since last November, but she’s determined to get back on the court. Otto has helped run the Wolves’ offense for the last two seasons, playing in a 6-2 system last year alongside Mackenzi Humm, now at Xavier University. Should Otto be completely healthy, she could be one of the best setters in the conference.

C-G at the Asics Challenge at Mother McAuley in October.

Jacobs Coach: Lisa Dwyer, ninth season Last year’s record: 27-10 overall, 7-5 FVC Valley (third) Top returners: Kassie Kasper (so., L); Katie Mahoney (so., OH); Jenna Bilgrien (jr., Opp.); Mackenzie Traub (sr., S); Bridget Wallenberger (so., MH) Key newcomers: Kyla Fitzsimmons (so., OH); Allie Campbell (jr., MH); Ester Onate (jr., S); Sarah Walsh (so., OH) Outlook: Jacobs has become known for its tenacious defense; the ball just doesn’t hit the floor very often. That means all eyes will be on libero Kasper, who has shown she has the talent to improve on the 463-dig performance she turned in as a freshman. Traub showed she can run a fast-paced offense last year. Look for her to do much of the same this season.

McHenry Coach: Jeff Brunstrum, seventh season Last year’s record: 11-24 overall, 1-11 FVC Valley (seventh) Top returners: Zoe Lindsey (jr., S); Mary Rouse (jr., S); Becca Dabrowski (jr., MH); Haley Kornfeind (jr., OH) Key newcomers: Ally Spence (so., DS); Alex Martens (so., OH); Allie McQueeny (so., S) Outlook: Lindsey, Rouse, Kornfeind and Dabrowski all return to give McHenry some experience, but the team is still very young. All four girls are juniors and surrounded by underclassmen anxious to show the Warriors shouldn’t be overlooked. “We will still be a fairly young team looking to build on our successes from last year,” Brunstrum said.

Prairie Ridge Coach: Stefanie Otto, Last year’s record: 30-10 overall, 11-1 FVC Valley (co-champions with South) Top returners: Ali Witt (jr., MB); Maddie Drain (sr., MB); Taylor Otto (sr., S); Olivia Hanley (sr., DS); Kennedy McNeil (sr., OH) Key newcomers: Kaitlyn Turskey (jr., OH/S); Charlie Beam (jr., OH); Aubree Eggers (jr., OH/MB); Sloane Salerno (so., DS) Outlook: Prairie Ridge lost a solid group of seniors from its 2012 division title-winning team, but the cupboard hardly is bare. Onlookers could see Witt and Drain gain confidence as the season progressed, and McNeil contributed substantially to Prairie Ridge’s Class 4A supersectional run. Provided Taylor Otto is healthy – she has battled an ankle injury since last winter – the Wolves could contend for another division title.

FOX VALLEY CONFERENCE FOX DIVISION Crystal Lake Central Coach: Lisa Reddish, third season Last year’s record: 26-9 overall, 12-0 FVC Fox (division champions) Top returners: Natalie Ricca (sr., S); Lauren Leverenz (sr., MB); Kassi Dvoracek (sr., OH); Krissy Pratt (sr., OH); Annie Fox (sr., DS); Maddy Cysewski (sr., RSH); Rachael Schoepke (sr., MH) Key newcomers: Britney Adams (sr., DS); Sydney Nelson (sr., S); Susie Jeziorowski (jr., RSH); Mackenzie Allen (jr., OH) Outlook: The Tigers graduated just one senior from last year’s FVC Fox Division championship team. Central’s nucleus has been in tact for several years, giving Reddish every reason to expect the Tigers to be competitive again this year. Leverenz is one of the area’s top middle hitters and should pace the Tigers’ offense, while Ricca knows her way around the court and

Grayslake Central Coach: Jason Janczak, eighth season Last year’s record: 24-14 overall, 7-5 FVC Fox (third) Top returners: Alex Dahlstrom (sr., OH); Gabi Casper (sr., OH); Anna Basten (sr., MH); Lexi Beckman (sr., MH); Hannah Thomas (sr., DS); Allie Daul (so., RSH) Key newcomers: Teresa Curtis (sr., DS); Hayley Peterson (jr., S/DS); Dani Sentz (jr., DS) Outlook: The Rams are working on running a quicker offense and getting the first ball kills off serve-receive, Janczak said. They have the talent to sharpen those skills; Janczak has four seniors who are third- and fourth-year varsity players. The Rams’ roster is peppered with defensive specialists, which should make up for a lack of height in the front row. “This is a cohesive group of girls who works hard and who have the ability and desire to win this year,” Janczak said.

Grayslake North Coach: Nikki Kirchway, eighth season Last year’s record: 13-24 overall, 3-9 FVC Fox (fifth) Top returners: Summer Camper (sr., OH); Alaina Geissberger (sr., MH); Maggie Fish (jr., MH/OH); Stefani Keilwitz (jr., DS/L) Key newcomers: Bailee Hardy (jr., Opp); Nicole LeBaron (jr., OH); Cassie Reimbold (jr., DS/L); Kendall Buchmann (so., S) Outlook: The Knights’ four returners have the varsity experience Kirchway knows is necessary to build the team around. Kirchway has been impressed with the Knights’ drive over the summer and their obvious desire to get after every point. Defense should be the key to the Knights’ success. Look for Keilwitz to be very active in the back row.

Hampshire Coach: Andy Lindley, second season Last year’s record: 13-17 overall, 6-6 FVC Fox (fourth) Top returners: Brittany Laffin (jr., S); Erin Foss (jr., OH); Julianna Gass (sr., L) Key newcomers: Kaila Kienzler (jr., MB); Dallas Krueger (jr., MB) Outlook: The Whip-Purs are young this year, but should not be overlooked.

Lindley, the assistant coach for six

Senior Frantti ranked among top in nation • VOLLEYBALL Continued from page C1 Huntley returns seven players, including Emily Westermeyer, a junior outside who commanded attention.

Jacobs, traditionally good defensively, has one of the area’s best liberos in sophomore Kassie Kasper. Cary-Grove setter Meghan Seymour has worked tirelessly to improve and should be a strong pilot for a young but hungry Trojans team.

McHenry, also young, brings back four juniors including setters Zoe Lindsey and Megan Rouse. DundeeCrown is laying the foundation for a strong next few seasons, but could surprise this year.

In the Big Northern Conference East Division Senior outside Ali Frantti, ranked among the top in the nation and committed to Penn State, gives opponents fits. Should teams figure out how to stop Frantti, fellow

outside Kelsey Burlini or middle blocker Libby Anderson will hurt them. On paper, the Rockets look like they are rebuilding. Coach Kaycee Kaywood is confident R-B can shed that tag quickly. “They have bonded very well,” Kaywood said.

Marengo welcomes back veteran coach Meg Dobbertin, who took three years off, and Harvard will embrace firstyear coach Nicole Holmes, who is working on the Hornets’ mental game, she said.

seasons before taking over the reins last year, knows exactly what works in the system the Whips established and will rely on his young talent to maintain a culture of high expectations. “We have some young talent who can help us reach and surpass our potential,” Lindley said.

Johnsburg Coach: Sue Feely, 12th season Last year’s record: 27-10 overall, 10-2 FVC Fox (second) Top returners: Ashly Schmitt (sr., OH); Amy Majercik (sr., OH) Key newcomers: Abby Majercik (so., S) Outlook: Johnsburg will work with a nine-player roster, at least at the start of the season. What the Skyhawks lack in numbers they make up for with chemistry. The players have played together for a few years, Feely said, and work very well within their established system. Johnsburg lost standout setter Megan Davis to graduation, but Feely is very confident Abby Majercik will fill Davis’s shoes. Schmitt, a McKendree University recruit, is very strong on the outside and complemented well by Amy Majercik. Provided the Skyhawks’ teamwork holds up, Johnsburg should reach its potential.

Woodstock Coach: Meghan Mullaney, first season Last year’s record: 7-30 overall, 2-10 FVC Fox (sixth) Top returners: Megan Pautrat (sr.); Rachel Lohmeyer (sr.); Amanda Jandernoa (jr.); Rachel Tobias (jr.)

Key newcomers: Amanda Gelasi (so.); Grace Detwiler (fr.); Georgia Wicker (fr.)

Outlook: Mullaney is confident the Blue Streaks can improve as she’s already seen significant strides since the beginning of the summer. “We’ve come very far from the first day of camp until now and we are all very excited to begin our season,” Mullaney said.

Woodstock North Coach: Greg Bruns, sixth season Last year’s record: 8-25 overall, 1-11, FVC Fox (seventh) Top returners: Sam Abbate (sr., OH); Becca Molve (sr., MB); Manda Landrey (sr., S) Key newcomers: Emily Andrychowski (sr., S); Eden Powell (sr., RSH); Casey Gavers (sr., DS)

Marian Central coach Laura Watling’s team will look different this year. While it’s senior outside hitter Frankie Taylor’s turn to shine, and senior middle hitter Hannah Davis’ turn to dominate, the Hurricanes are young in many other areas. But they are not short on talent or skill, Watling said. “If we can develop a chemistry and rhythm, look for us to have a successful season,” she said.

SUBURBAN CHRISTIAN CONFERENCE Marian Central Coach: Laura Watling, fifth season Last year’s record: 18-21 overall, 3-6 SCC Blue Division Top returners: Frankie Taylor (sr., OH); Hannah Davis (sr., MB) Key newcomers: Alex Kaufmann (so., RSH/S); Rachel Giustino (so., MB) Outlook: The Hurricanes will be young at nearly every position, but they are not without plenty of talent. Davis and Taylor both have waited for their year in the spotlight, so look for both to have strong senior campaigns in one of the most dangerous conferences in the state. “The makeup of this team is almost completely different from last season,” Watling said. “However, we are not short on talent or skill. If we can develop a chemistry and rhythm, look for us to have a successful season.”

BIG NORTHERN CONFERENCE EAST DIVISION Harvard Coach: Nicole Holmes, first season (seventh in the Hornets’ program) Last year’s record: 9-25-1 overall Top returners: Maty Brincks (sr., OH); Mallory Haak (sr., DS); Sammy Genz (sr., OH) Key newcomers: Sophie Sticker (so., S) Outlook: Holmes’s team is determined to dominate this year, and Harvard has talented players who can compete in the BNC East. Holmes is focused on making the offense as dynamic as possible, coaching her girls to play a strong mental game and keeping team spirits high “through positive interactions and communication,” she said.

Marengo Coach: Meg Dobbertin, eighth season

NORTHEASTERN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE Alden-Hebron Coach: Carrie Recard, first season Top returners: Brooklyn Hilton, Hannah Behrens and Jacqueline Walters (grades and positions not provided) Key newcomers: Tallor Lalor and Chey Knoll Outlook: Recard is inheriting a team she has realized is hungry to compete.

The trick is getting them to expect to have success, Recard said. “We have challenged them all summer and they have graciously accepted every challenge,” Recard said. “Our goal will be helping them with the rigors of the game along with the expectations of having success. We are doing everything we can to make sure they are prepared for what lies ahead.”

INDEPENDENT Faith Lutheran Coach: Laurie Mathiesen, fourth season Last year’s record: 3-19 overall Top returners: Susannah Boyer (so., MH/OH); Kassandra Clauss (so., OH); Emily Cunningham (so., S) Key newcomers: Natalie Borman (fr., MH) Outlook: It could be another challenging year, but for different reasons. Last year, the Saints struggled with injuries, and this year they are very young. Three upperclassmen are on the Saints’ roster, but most starters are sophomores and Borman is a freshman. “Once maturity is fully established and confidence is built, we will be a team to be reckoned with,” Mathiesen said. “The future looks very bright indeed.”

Outlook: Unlike many area teams, Bruns’ roster does not include many club volleyball players. Instead, the Thunder have several multisport athletes, making them a well-rounded, athletic team that’s fast and aggressive, Bruns said. The Thunder also have 11 seniors between the varsity and junior varsity teams, so Bruns has mature players leading the charge. “When this team is playing well, it means they are having fun,” he said. “We should have a lot of fun this year.”

(took three seasons off) Last year’s record: 12-23 overall Top returners: Peyton Velasquez (jr., OH); Lynsey Hoeske (sr., MB) Key newcomers: Nicole Johnston (so., S) Outlook: The Indians were scrappy last year with a deceiving record.

Marengo was hard for teams to put away. Dobbertin sees that tenacious attitude again this season. “This team is full of athletes that want to compete to win,” Dobbertin said. “They are fun to watch and I know they are leaving 110 percent on the floor.”

Richmond-Burton Coach: Kaycee Kaywood, sixth season (eighth in the program) Last year’s record: 35-5 overall, 12-0 BNC East, IHSA Class 3A state runners-up Top returners: Ali Frantti (sr., OH); Kelsey Burlini (sr., OH); Libby Anderson (sr., MB) Key newcomers: Jenna Mazur (jr., L); Celena Kanagin (so., MB); Jessie Duncan (so., S) Outlook: The Rockets lost many of the key elements to their state finals run last season, but R-B still has its biggest weapon. Frantti, one of the area’s best outside hitters and committed to Penn State, should ensure R-B is not overlooked. Beyond Frantti, Kaywood has been impressed with how her middle hitters, Anderson and Kanagin, have worked together and developed a presence in the front row. “[The players] have been working very hard at summer camps both at R-B and [Illinois State University],” Kaywood said. “They have bonded very well and are working very well together.”

Latham looks forward to weekly visits • LATHAM Continued from page C1 That’s what Phil Judson loves. He reads to Latham, they talk basketball. One of their favorite subjects is Jim Enright’s book “March Madness.”

“We talk about games and teams and he may not tell me the exact score, but he’ll know that they won by two points or lost by six,” said Judson, who lives in Gurnee. “We don’t think another coach and ballplayer have had a relationship like we have. It just doesn’t happen.”

But that’s Judson’s gregarious nature. They shared a link through one of Illinois’ greatest title games and just enjoy talking hoops. In 2012, when A-H was planning its 60th anniversary celebration, the Northwest Herald shot a photo with the Judsons, Schulz and Ken Spooner (the

other living starter from the 1952 team) at Latham’s home.

“I like it when Phil comes over,” Latham said in 2012.

“It’s great. Phil is a great guy and those other kids are, too.

Their players were doing the best to win and so were my players. We have pretty good gabfests.”

Latham lives in his house with a caretaker. Filippo said he looks forward to Judson’s weekly visits.

“They talk a lot of basketball,” Filippo said. “When it’s the NCAA Tournament, they talk about every game. When my mom [Jo] passed away a couple years ago, Phil, Bill and Ken were there at the funeral.”

Filippo marvels at what her father has seen in his lifetime. He grew up in Montana, riding a horse to school and working on a sheep ranch.

“He rode a horse to school

If you build it ...

and we’re trying to explain what Tweeting is to him,” she said with a laugh.

There are sure to be some fantastic stories at Lake Bluff Country Club on Saturday.

The A-H players are just glad they can be a part of the celebration.

“As far as Hebron, [Latham] has been so gracious,” Phil Judson said.

“He holds us in high regard.

There are no ill feelings, no excuses. He really has shown interest in our team and players. He always asks about us. It’s a wonderful relationship.”

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Matt Kuchar made the most of his short day at The Barclays.

Kuchar didn’t tee off until Friday afternoon at Liberty National and knew he had no chance to finish. He could barely see his ball cross the water and set up a twoputt birdie on the 13th hole that gave him the outright lead, and there was enough light coming from lower Manhattan across the Hudson River to hit his tee shot on the 14th.

The horn sounded, and by then, he was ready to go home.

Kuchar was at 10-under par with five holes remaining and had to return Saturday morning to hold his one-shot lead over Webb Simpson and Gary Woodland, who both finished the second round in the rain-delayed tournament.

Simpson had to play 29 holes – 11 holes to finish his first round in the morning, followed by his second round – and he was ready to go more. He ran off six birdies over an eight-hole stretch and had a 5-under 66.

“It’s much nicer when you’re playing well to keep playing. And

Matt Kuchar hits a shot on the second hole during the second round of The Barclays tournament Friday in Jersey City, N.J. when you’re playing well, you feel like you could play 40 holes in a day,” Simpson said. “My main goal ... I just wanted to get done today. It just felt nice to putt out on 9, knowing that I’ve got tonight to sleep and catch up on rest.”

Woodland was one of the last players to finish at twilight Friday, and he finished strong.

Woodland, back on track after a win at the Reno-Tahoe Open three weeks ago, birdied four of his last five holes for a 64 to join Simpson in the clubhouse at 9-under 133.

“I feel ecstatic right now to be

done,” Woodland said. “It was a close call coming down the stretch if we would be able to finish. Luckily, I played great today, gave myself a lot of opportunities, and I drove the ball phenomenally and rolled some putts in, especially late.”

Web.com Tour: Crystal Lake’s Joe Affrunti was 1-over par Friday to finish the first two round of the Web.com Cox Class at 4-under, just above the cutline.

He is tied for 55th heading into his 10:22 a.m. Saturday tee time.

Camfil gets greener Company invests $2 million in CL facility

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – For 45 years, Camfil USA has been producing award-winning filtration and clean air systems in Crystal Lake.

After the company’s latest investment, city officials hope the fruitful partnership lasts at least another 45 years.

The Crystal Lake City Council and Economic Development Committee presented Camfil with a community investment award after the company invested nearly $2 million in upgrading the energy-efficiency of its building at 500 S. Main St. James Richter II, assistant director of economic development for Crystal Lake, said Camfil’s investment was another example of the company’s commitment to the city and remaining a desired destination

for employees.

“They have been a long-standing member of the community in a highly visible building,” Richter said. “They were contemplating several years back when they were doing a feasibility study whether to stay or take their facility and jobs elsewhere. It was very important for us to do all we could to make them stay.”

The city assisted Camfil with the project by expediting the permit and inspection process so company officials could make the upgrades they desperately needed.

Russ DeMayo, an engineering manager at Camfil, said the facility went years without upgrades and needed insulation improvements throughout. DeMayo said the major renovations included replacing “penny glass” windows that had no insulation, installing sculptured brick walls and constructing a new roof.

He said the decision to stay was easy because of the city’s help and the employees the company wanted to maintain.

“I think basically since we’ve been here we’ve been able to build a great foundation of employees that have flocked to the area over the years,” DeMayo said. “We have a commitment to those employees and making this a sustainable work environment.”

The company also made safety and aesthetic enhancements and a significant paved-surface upgrade to improve access for logistics.

The Crystal Lake location is one of 23 production or distribution centers across four countries for Camfil USA. The company is headquartered in Sweden and has about 3,500 employees and annual sales of $760 million.

There are 65 employees at the Crystal Lake location.

Microsoft CEO Ballmer to retire

By BARBARA ORTUTAY and BREE FOWLER The Associated Press NEW YORK – Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who took over the world’s largest software company from founder Bill Gates 13 years ago, said Friday he will retire within the next year.

Microsoft Corp. did not name a successor, but the company said it is forming a search committee, which will include Gates. Ballmer will stay on until a replacement is found.

“There is never a perfect time for this type of transition, but now is the right time,” Ballmer, 57, said in a statement released by the Redmond, Wash., company.

Microsoft has struggled in the Ballmer era. When he took the helm in January 2000, Microsoft’s market value stood at more than $601 billion. Today, the company is worth less than half that amount, at nearly $270 billion.

The CEO’s announcement comes less than two months after the company unveiled a sweeping reorganization of its business in an attempt to reignite competition with fastermoving rivals such as Apple and Google.

Among Ballmer’s biggest mistakes, detractors say, were his initial dismissals of emerging threats from Google and Apple. He consistently pooh-poohed Google as a one-trick company during its early years and in 2007 declared: “No chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share.”

Google quickly made important inroads in Internet

McHENRY – Buss Ford Lincoln will host its 10th annual Patriot’s Day open car show Sunday.

The car show is from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday at Buss Ford Lincoln, 111 S. Route 31, McHenry. The event is sponsored by the dealership and McHenry Savings Bank.

The show is free and open to the public. The cost to register a car for the show is $10 in canned goods or a monetary donation to the FISH of McHenry Food Pantry.

The dealership hopes to raise about $2,000 for the pantry this year, general manager Drew Buss said.

“It’s a great way to give back to the community,” he said. “We really appreciate all the work the pantry does for McHenry.”

There will be free hot dogs, popcorn and soft drinks. A live disc jockey will play music.

Trophies will be awarded to the top 15 entries in the open car show. The first 100 entrants will get a free dash plaque.

In past years, more than 500 people have come out to the event to see more than 200 cars registered for the show, Buss said.

For information, call Buss Ford Lincoln at 815-385-2000.

8BUSINESS ROUNDUP U.S. new-home sales fall as mortgage rates rise WASHINGTON – Americans cut back sharply in July on their purchases of new homes, a sign higher mortgage rates may weigh on the housing recovery.

The Commerce Department said Friday U.S. sales of newly built homes dropped 13.4 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 394,000.

That’s the lowest pace in nine months. And it is down from a rate of 455,000 in June, which was revised sharply lower from a previously reported 497,000.

New-home sales have risen 7 percent in the 12 months ending in July. The annual pace remains well below the 700,000 that is consistent with a healthy market.

The housing market has been one of the strongest performers this year in an otherwise sluggish economy, helped by steady job gains and low mortgage rates. But mortgage rates have risen a full percentage point since May and have started to steal some of the market’s momentum.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer speaks at a Microsoft event in San Francisco. Ballmer, who helped build Microsoft into a technology empire and then struggled to prevent it from crumbling under his own leadership, will retire within the next 12 months. video, online maps, email and mobile computing and contributed to the damage that the iPhone and iPad have done to Microsoft and its partners in the PC market.

Microsoft, along with other companies that thrived in the era of personal computers, is scrambling to transform its business as people increasingly come to rely on smartphones and tablets.

Although it derives about three-quarters of its revenue from sales of software and services to businesses large and small, Microsoft has failed to capture the imagination of consumers who have become more enamored with mobile gadgets than PCs. Response to the newest version of its flagship Windows operat-

ing system, Windows 8, has been lukewarm.

In his statement, Ballmer noted the company is moving in a new direction and needs a CEO that will be there for the longer term.

Microsoft, he added, “has all its best days ahead.”

Ballmer met Gates in 1973 while they were living down a dormitory hall from each other at Harvard University. He joined Microsoft in 1980 to bring some business discipline and salesmanship to a company that had just landed a contract to supply an operating system for a personal computer that IBM would release in 1981.

Ballmer, a zealous executive prone to arm-waving and hollering, did the job

so well he became Gates’ sounding board and succeeded him as CEO in 2000.

He has worked at Microsoft for 33 years, matching the tenure of Gates, who left the company in 2008.

“It’s a tad surprising, but every other business head has been rotated out,” BGC Financial analyst Colin Gillis said. “They swapped out all their segment heads over the past few years. The only one they haven’t changed is the CEO.” Although investors cheered the news Friday, Gillis cautioned that it could be a “tough 12 months” for the company.

The obvious successor – former Windows head Steven Sinofsky – got booted

by Ballmer, he said.

DETROIT – U.S. auto safety regulators are investigating complaints that the ceilings can catch fire in 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs. The probe, announced Friday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, covers an estimated 146,000 vehicles.

Three customers complained to the government that their ceilings caught fire near the passenger-side sun visor while they were driving.

Initially there was a burning smell, then smoke and flames.

The customers lowered their windows to clear the smoke, but that increased the fire’s intensity, NHTSA said in documents posted on its website.

In all three cases, the fires continued after the SUVs had been shut off, and flames had to be put out with fire extinguishers or by firefighters.

Fall is the county’s best season for tourism

• BALLMER Continued from page E1 Sinofsky left the company shortly after the launch of Windows 8 last year. He recently announced he joined the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.

Veteran executive Julie Larson-Green, the head of Microsoft’s devices and studios engineering group, has been floated as a potential successor. She was promoted to her most recent position in July, after being tapped in November to lead all Windows software and hardware engineering.

Although the company said Friday that it will consider both internal and external candidates, some analysts are betting that the company’s next leader will come from outside.

Walter Pritchard, an analyst with Citi Investment Research, said Microsoft’s expected focus on external candidates will make it tough to predict who will become the next CEO and what direction they will take it in. He added that the search will likely take a significant amount of time, potentially the entire 12 months Ballmer has said he will stay.

When Ballmer joined Microsoft in 1980, was populated with geeky programmers, led

by Gates and the other founder, Paul Allen. Ballmer had already held a product management job at Procter & Gamble and was attending Stanford University’s graduate school of business when Gates convinced him to move to the Seattle area to whip Microsoft into shape.

Ballmer dropped out of Stanford, but only after Gates agreed to give him an 8.75 percent stake in the then-tiny startup that still hadn’t even incorporated as a company.

It turned out to be one of the world’s greatest business partnerships.

By late 2012, Ballmer had accumulated an estimated fortune of nearly $16 billion from his initial Microsoft stake and additional stock options he later received.

He also was instrumental in growing Microsoft from a company that had fewer than 40 employees and $12 million in annual revenue when he came aboard.

In 2012, Microsoft had 94,000 employees and $74 billion in annual revenue.

Argentina loses appeal in U.S. bond debt case The ASSOCIATED PRESS

A Lexus LF-CC concept car is displayed at a Lexus showroom in Tokyo.

Lexus tries to woo young buyers ing espresso and displaying cool curiosities: a pair of old Ray Ban sunglasses here, a Jack Kerouac book there. The bathroom interior is wrapped in a huge glass case packed with miniature cars.

Similar spaces are set to open in New York and Dubai, as the brand tries to underline recent redesigns of some of its top models.

“This is about showing people the personality of the Lexus brand, and showing a more emotional part of Lexus,” Mark Templin, Executive Vice President of Lexus International, said Friday

By YURI KAGEYAMA The Associated Press TOKYO – Toyota’s luxury brand Lexus is trying to shake off its stodgy image.

So it’s opening a cafe.

The special lounges, the first of which is opening next week in Tokyo’s fashionable Aoyama district, are designed to look more like a chic home than a standard showroom. In fact, only one vehicle can be displayed at a time.

What Toyota Motor Corp. is calling a “luxurybrand experience space” is mostly given over to serv-

during a preview tour.

The Lexus has scored success since it arrived in North America 24 years ago by offering reliability and craftsmanship, longtime trademarks of Toyota, the world’s top automaker.

These days, that success is not a selling point for younger consumers, who identify the Lexus with the staid conservative image of their parents’ generation.

Templin says the new space, called Intersect, is out to change all that, welcoming the shabbiest dressed teen who happens to walk in.

NEW YORK – A U.S. appeals court dealt Argentina a blow Friday in the lengthy legal battle over the country’s massive 2001 default, upholding a ruling ordering it to pay $1.4 billion to bondholders.

The decision by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan stayed the payment order so that Argentina could file an expected appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The decision “affirms a proposition essential to the integrity of the capital markets: borrowers and lenders may, under New York law, negotiate mutually agreeable terms for their transactions, but they will be held to those terms,” the three-judge panel wrote.

Argentine officials have warned the impact of a ruling against the country could be severe, since a novel payment formula already generally upheld by the appellate court last year could prompt the South American government to default again.

The decision also could have major repercussions for other countries trying to decide whether to put lenders be-

fore their own citizens as they rebuild their economies.

“The religious community is saddened by today’s decision as it hurts poor people around the globe,” Eric LeCompte of the Jubilee USA Network, a religious anti-poverty campaign, said in a statement. “Our eyes are on the U.S. Supreme Court.

We pray the court will not forget the world’s poor as they consider taking the case.”

The appeals court said it disagreed with predictions of “cataclysmic repercussions” in the global economy.

“What the consequences predicted by Argentina have in common is that they are speculative, hyperbolic and almost entirely of the Republic’s own making,” the panel wrote.

Theodore B. Olson, a lawyer for bondholder Elliot Management Corp., said the decision was sound.

“Today’s unanimous, wellreasoned decision appropriately condemns Argentina’s persistent violation of its obligations and its extraordinary defiance of the laws of the United States and the orders of U.S. courts,” Olsen said in a statement. “It confirms that Argentina is not above the law.”

Anne Frank wrote, “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”

How wonderful it is when a single card improves the it and results in a low-pointcount slam.

Look at the North hand in today’s diagram. You open one spade and partner responds two clubs. What would you rebid?

After a two-over-one response in Standard American, a new-suit rebid by opener is forcing for one round. So a jump rebid can be used as a splinter bid, showing good support for partner’s suit, extra values and a singleton (or void) in the named suit. (I think that this is much more useful than describing a good 5-5 two-suiter.)

Here, South, now knowing that his three heart losers can be ruffed on the board, should control-bid (cue-bid) four hearts to suggest a slam. Then North can use some form of Blackwood. At that point, the problem will be to avoid seven clubs.

Against six clubs, West leads the spade king. How

should South plan the play?

The deal is perfect for a crossruff. But before commencing one of those, declarer should cash all of his side-suit winners. So, after taking the irst trick with dummy’s spade ace, South should play a heart to his ace and cash dummy’s diamond winners. Then he crossruffs to take one spade, one heart, two diamonds, four spade ruffs in his hand, three heart ruffs on the board, and one top trump.

Each defender wins trick 13: West with the diamond jack and East with the club eight.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - Broaden your scope this year by getting involved in large-scale projects that will benefit your community or country. Develop ideas and solutions that will encourage others to step up and take action. The impression you make will open doors to greater prosperity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Added discipline will help you conquer whatever challenges you meet along life’s path. Adding a bit of force to get what you want will pay off. Taking action will only increase your options.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Change is inevitable, but acceptance will enable you to move in a direction that is better suited to your needs as well as your skills.

Express your ideas and intentions in clear, concise language.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Learning will be key to making new acquaintances and finding unusual opportunities. You’ll be especially prone to altering the way you do things at work, with positive results.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Stick close to home and make a point to listen rather than dictate. The choice you make now will determine how your peers and loved ones will receive you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- All work and no play will cause problems in your personal life. Make plans that will keep important relationships warm, vibrant and stable. A settlement or contract will bring in another income channel.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Make a point of relying on past experience, especially where money matters are concerned. Lending and borrowing will lead to problems. Invest in yourselfss and your abilities, not someone else.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Look over contracts and make a commitment to someone you want to have in your life for a long time. Your options are plentiful, but your choices should be specific.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Keep your thoughts and emotions in check. Now is not the time to start a war. Avoid being taken advantage of and use diplomacy when handling arduous situations. You need to be tough but fair.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Participate in any activities or ventures that arise today, and show everyone what you have to offer. You will impress even the most skeptical individual, giving you many new channels in which to operate.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can make a difference if you act on behalf of someone or something you believe in. Your interaction with someone influential will lead to an interesting relationship.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Steer clear of anyone making impulsive and inappropriate choices. Focus on something you enjoy doing and you can develop a service or product that can lead to extra income.
