UNTLEY – John Hart hates nothing more than wasted time and openly admits he is so competitive that he is at his worst when nothing meaningful is at stake.

So with his Huntley football team’s season opener against Bartlett only four days away, Hart steps in front of a crowded classroom Monday afternoon, writes the week’s schedule in red magic marker on a white dry erase board and pulls a lectern to the center of the room.

Not one to mince words,

Hart scans the room, including the 50 or so players forced to sit on the floor in front of him due to a shortage of desks, and gets right to the point.

“We are in game week preparations and that changes the intensity of everything we do,” Hart says sternly. “I don’t want any food in here. I shouldn’t hear any cellphones. Get used to it. Some of you haven’t been varsity players before. You’re varsity players now. Get used to it.”

In a season when so much surrounding Hart’s program

About this series Huntley football coach John Hart has given the Northwest Herald and sports reporter Jeff Arnold all access to his program for the upcoming season. From coaches meetings and film sessions to the pregame locker room, Arnold will write weekly stories from inside the Red Raiders program, providing a glimpse into the lives of high school football players.

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com LIBERTYVILLE – Like driving, boating should require a license, several attendees of a packed public hearing argued Thursday afternoon.

“In Illinois, you need a license of some kind to fly an aircraft, fish, sell insurance, cut hair ... you need it to put fingernail polish on – but not to operate a watercraft,” Rob Hardman of Antioch said. “That’s insane.”

“Boaters are Voters” signs – gathered at a state Senate committee hearing on three bills aimed at improving boating safety.

The bill that drew the most criticism would have the driver’s licenses of those convicted a second time of boating under the influence suspended.

Another would require boats towing a person to display a red

or orange flag, something that several commenters – both proponents and opponents – suggested changing to when someone is in the water, not just being towed.

The final bill would require those born in 1990 or later to have a boating safety certificate

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com The lone Metra board member who voted against a severance package for former CEO Alex Clifford may have inappropriately sent internal board documents to the ousted agency leader.

Jack Schaffer, who is the McHenry County representative on the Metra board, confirmed that he sent Clifford an email with information attached about his evaluation.

The email came to light after Crain’s Chicago Business obtained a copy of Clifford’s

WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Ethics Commission wants to embrace the lessons learned from its first-ever hearing of a complaint against a public official.

In several 5-0 votes Thursday afternoon, the commission agreed to request opinions from the State’s Attorney’s Office regarding improving the rules it must follow and the county ethics ordinance it is charged with upholding.

The discussion was prompted by an ethics complaint filed last month by Lakewood blogger Cal Skinner. He alleged that an email sent to County Board members by Undersheriff Andrew Zinke – who is running for his retiring boss’s job – violated the ordinance’s ban on using taxpayer time or resources to campaign.

Coasting on love-hate relationship with cars A car is a car is a car. But they keep coming up with new features that make a car more than a car.

My general feeling toward cars is one of disagreeability. I’m always waiting for the other shoe, or wheel in this case, to drop.

And a wheel did drop on a Ford Taurus I once owned briefly. It’s complicated how I ended up with the Taurus just before Christmas one year, but I had to give up my Toyota pickup truck to my then-young-butgrowing-older son because he was out of a vehicle for some reason that defies explanation.

I bought the Taurus from a private party outside of Marengo, and the seller said it was used only sparingly by his mother who recently died, and alarms should have gone off at that point. But they didn’t because it was such a sad story, and no, he couldn’t take less than $1,800 cash for the car. Too many memories for it to be cheapened.

Before the first day of spring, the wheel essentially dropped off on the driver’s side. I was pulling out of the gas station on Route 14 near Virginia Road at the height of the evening rush hour. As soon as I pulled into heavy traffic, the wheel could just as well have fallen off. The tie-rod broke, the

8LOTTERY

VIEWS Dick Peterson wheel collapsed, and there was no moving the car. It was junk. Kiss that $1,800 goodbye, Mom. That’s the thing with cars: They break down, and it is usually expensive to repair them.

But if you watch TV during the news hour, you are bombarded with advertisements for new cars, and this is an especially important time for new car sales as it apparently is time for the end-of-the-year sales before the 2014 cars take their place.

One of the coolest features they have come up with is the rear-mounted video camera that starts working when you put the car in reverse.

You all know about blind spots when backing up, and I’m always nervous pulling out of the driveway or parking spot at the grocery store because I do not want to hit anyone. The last thing I want to do is hit the neighbor boy as he walks to the bus stop, and he leaves for school about the same time I leave for work.

I creep backward ever so slowly, looking left and right, and trying to

look around the blind spots for people and cars. And I’m never 100 percent sure that I am in the clear, so I inch backward. Blind spots scare me, and blind spots are the one good reason for convertibles with the top down: You can see and hear everything.

If I had one of those rear-mounted cameras, I would be able to see everything behind me by looking at the TV monitor in the dashboard. And, get this, if something is in the way, the car automatically hits the brakes.

Talk about wonders that will never cease.

It’s going to be many years before I trade up to a car that has a rear-mounted video camera, so I need to live in the past and marvel at it.

My favorite feature is cruise control.

I know cruise control has been around for nearly forever, but at some point in the not-too-distant past, it became almost a regular feature of cars – at least the used cars we’ve looked at.

And it has gotten to the point where I need – not want – cruise control as a standard feature.

First, it helps keep me from speeding. I can set the cruise control for a few miles an hour over the speed limit and not have to worry about accidentally accelerating to well past

the posted speed limit because I am thinking about other things. This is especially true when driving through Bull Valley, where police officers are very diligent about apprehending speeders on their tree-lined country roads where the speed limit varies from place to place, so you really had better be paying attention.

But foremost, cruise control on the highway clears my mind. When I turn on coast – I like that concept – on Route 14 on my way to work, only a few miles, my mind relaxes, and I slip into road-trip mode. Nothing but the open highway in front me, coasting hundreds of miles. And there are few things I better like to do than drive, even though I have a disagreeable relationship with cars.

When I push the button for cruise control, I am free to drive as long as I care. Unfortunately, that’s only as far as Kishwaukee Valley Road, and I am throttled back to the present. But for a few minutes every day, I am on a road trip, just me and the open road.

Feds won’t sue to stop marijuana use in 2 states The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Despite 75 years of federal marijuana prohibition, the Justice Department said Thursday that states can let people use the drug, license people to grow it and even allow adults to stroll into stores and buy it – as long as the weed is kept away from kids, the black market and federal property.

In a sweeping new policy

statement prompted by pot legalization votes in Washington and Colorado last fall, the department gave the green light to states to adopt tight regulatory schemes to oversee the medical and recreational marijuana industries burgeoning across the country.

The action, welcomed by supporters of legalization, could set the stage for more states to legalize marijuana.

Alaska could vote on the ques-

tion next year, and a few other states plan similar votes in 2016. The policy change embraces what Justice Department officials called a “trust but verify” approach between the federal government and states that enact recreational drug use.

In a memo to all 94 U.S. attorneys’ offices around the country, Deputy Attorney General James Cole said the federal government expects that

states and local governments authorizing “marijuana-related conduct” will implement strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems that address the threat those state laws could pose to public health and safety.

“If state enforcement efforts are not sufficiently robust ... the federal government may seek to challenge the regulatory structure itself,” the memo stated.

Quinn steps up ’14 Durkin to lead GOP House caucus bid, gets union nod Vote unanimous sters Joint Council 25. The labor union, which represents more than 100,000 workers in Illinois and Indiana, gave Quinn an endorsement around the same time four years ago.

The event was one indicator of how Quinn will balance his current job and the campaign in the coming months and where both will overlap.

He spent Thursday morning in his official capacity talking jobs and the future of Latino students at the Hispanic Business Expo.

Later, with his tie removed, he stood by a loading dock at the market and talked about those who live paycheck to paycheck and his experiences as a Teamster from 1969 to 1971 when he worked during college.

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – The 2014 race for Illinois’ governor entered a new phase Thursday as Gov. Pat Quinn took time on a work day to accept a union endorsement for his re-election bid.

While Quinn has recently ratcheted up the rhetoric on issues such as anti-violence efforts with campaign flair, the Chicago Democrat’s campaigning has been largely unpublicized with speeches at churches, meetings with Democratic officials and small fundraisers.

But on Thursday – with the cameras rolling – he stopped by the Chicago International Produce Market to pick up a re-election nod from Team-

8STATE BRIEFS Kirk, Rush tour violent Chicago neighborhood

after challenger for job steps aside

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Rep. Jim Durkin, a former prosecutor from the Chicago suburbs, pledged to end divisiveness among Illinois Republicans after they elected him by acclamation Thursday to lead the caucus in the state House.

House Republicans voted unanimously for Durkin when his prime challenger, Springfield Rep. Raymond Poe, stepped aside.

Durkin, 52, replaces outgoing caucus leader Tom Cross, who told members last week he is planning to run for treasurer. Cross held the leadership position for a decade, and came under recent fire from members following

Officials say the boy and two other 17-year-olds were swimming laps earlier in the evening when the victim began to struggle. The other boys tried to help him but were unsuccessful.

CHICAGO – Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk and Democratic Rep. Bobby Rush toured Chicago’s violence-prone Englewood neighborhood Thursday, saying they will work together to solve the community’s problem. However, there appeared to be some difference between the pair on how to accomplish that, with Kirk emphasizing fighting crime and Rush pointing to the need for economic development.

The tour was a result of harsh criticism the Republican senator received this year when he called for the arrest of up to 18,000 Gangster Disciple members. Rush, a Chicago Democrat, dismissed Kirk’s proposal as a simplistic “white boy” solution to a complex problem.

CHICAGO – A tour bus company has agreed to pay $6.7 million to the family of a woman struck and killed by a driver who authorities say had cocaine in his system. Justyna Palka, 26, was struck in May 2011 while crossing a street in the Streeterville area. The driver, David Soto, 47, faces an aggravated DUI charge as well as unrelated charges. The woman’s family sued the bus company, Pontarelli Group Charter, alleging it failed to carry out background checks when hiring the driver.

31 charged in alleged Chicago-area heroin ring

CHICAGO – A federal judge has issued a ruling against a 19-year-old alleged terrorist in his bid to force the government to provide details on how it might have used expanded surveillance against him.

Adel Daoud denies he tried to ignite what he thought was a car bomb in Chicago. His lawyers say surveillance programs as revealed by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden might have triggered the investigation.

But Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman denied a request to order prosecutors to disclose details on expanded surveillance.

WHEATON – DuPage County prosecutors and the Drug Enforcement Administration say 31 people have been charged with allegedly taking part in a heroin-selling ring in Cook and DuPage counties. Authorities said Wednesday that the heroin conspiracy and sales charges came after a six-month investigation into the alleged ring. Seventeen of those arrested also were charged with violating the state’s new racketeering law targeting street gangs.

Bicycles to ride on some Chicago-Michigan trains

Teen boy who drowned in quarry from Bolingbrook

PORT HURON, Mich. – Amtrak announced Thursday that bicycles will be accepted aboard the Amtrak Blue Water line trains number 364 and 365 starting Sept. 6. The line begins in Chicago with stops in Port Huron, East Lansing and Kalamazoo.

Rail cars have been modified to carry up to four bikes per train. There is a $10 charge for transporting a bike.

BOLINGBROOK – Officials have identified a teenage boy who drowned while swimming with friends in a stone quarry in Bolingbrook as 17-year-old Javier Vera of Bolingbrook, a student at Bolingbrook High School. Police Lt. Mike Rompa says divers recovered his body Wednesday night at the Elmhurst Chicago Stone Quarry.

Durkin was first elected to the House in 1994 and served until 2002. He made an unsuccessful bid for U.S. Senate and was re-elected to the state House in 2006.

Generally considered a conservative, Durkin is respected enough that he was ranking Republican of the investigating committee that developed a case for impeachment against former Gov. Rod Blagojevich in 2009.

According to House caucus rules, a majority of votes are needed to elect a new leader. But with a number of 47 members on vacation or unable to travel to Springfield, some feared there wouldn’t be enough present to produce a majority. In the end, Poe asked for a vote by acclamation from the 40 members in attendance.

“I can count noses,” Poe said before the vote. “I know I have four or five of my votes that can’t be in town.”

Durkin’s election means the GOP caucuses in the House and Senate are led by lawmakers from the same district. Durkin’s senator is Senate Minority Leader Christine Radogno of Lemont.

Some House Republicans had argued in favor of a downstate leader to better represent the party, which has lost key suburban seats and now finds itself in “super-minority” status in both chambers, meaning Democrats have enough votes to pass any legislation without help from the other party and without fear of a gubernatorial veto.

“I live in the western suburbs. I can’t say I know what’s the right thing for northwest Illinois, for central Illinois, for southern Illinois,” Durkin said. “I’m going to rely upon my colleagues who are in dif-

“The positive thing that comes out of here today is that it was a unanimous vote,” Durkin said. “We’re going to use that energy to move forward and win races.”

Durkin’s election follows a summer-long internal scrum over the post, as Republicans continue to grow increasingly frustrated with Democrats’ veto-proof majorities in the House and Senate.

The former prosecutor is known for his command of criminal law and his measured, if pointed, rebukes during debate on the House floor. He said he expects to officially take the reins in two to three weeks.

In removing his name from consideration, Poe said he realized some of his likely voters weren’t present and decided there was a need for party unity.

Dry spell brings back drought fears

By DAVID PITT The Associated Press DES MOINES, Iowa – A growing season that began unusually wet and cold in the Midwest is finishing hot and dry, renewing worries of drought and its impact on crops.

Temperatures soared to records in recent days in parts of the region, reaching nearly 100 degrees in some areas.

The heat wave struck many farm states – from the Dakotas to Wisconsin, down through Missouri – that have seen too little rain this growing season.

“It’s about the worst case scenario we could have with these high temperatures and the lack of water with soil moisture declining,” said Roger Elmore, an agronomy professor at Iowa State University.

A wet, cool spring delayed

Drought-stressed corn grows Wednesday on a farm near Oregon, Mo. A growing season that began unusually wet and cold in the Midwest is finishing hot and dry, renewing worries of a drought. planting and slowed crop growth – but it also replenished soil moisture in many crop-producing states, causing some of last year’s widespread drought to retreat. The rain stopped in July in many

of those states, however, and as the soil dried out, the heat set in and stressed corn and soybean crops.

The southeast Iowa city of Burlington, which is surrounded by corn fields, had

its wettest spring on record at 19.23 inches of precipitation, nearly 8 inches above normal.

Yet it’s now on track to have its driest summer on record, with only 3.86 inches so far, 8.41 inches below normal.

Wayne Humphries farms about 1,000 acres about 45 miles north of Burlington at Columbus Junction. He grows corn and soybeans and raises hogs.

He said he delayed planting by about 30 days because of wet fields and now is watching the lower leaves of cornstalks turn brown from lack of moisture. He hasn’t seen a measurable rain for 30 days.

Soybean plants are suffering too as seeds are developing in the pods.

“I have solace in the fact that we did everything we could and we did it to the best of our ability and now whatever happens, happens,” he said.

Financial stress may hit brain and wallet

By SETH BORENSTEIN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Being short on cash may make you a bit slower in the brain, a new study suggests.

People worrying about having enough money to pay their bills tend to lose temporarily the equivalent of 13 IQ points, scientists found when they gave intelligence tests to shoppers at a New Jersey mall and farmers in India.

The idea is that financial stress monopolizes thinking, making other calculations slower and more difficult, sort of like the effects of going without sleep for a night.

And this money-andbrain crunch applies, albeit to a smaller degree, to about 100 million Americans who

face financial squeezes, say the team of economists and psychologists who wrote the study published in Friday’s issue of the journal Science.

“Our paper isn’t about poverty. It’s about people struggling to make ends meet,” said Sendhil Mullainathan, a Harvard economist and study co-author. “When we think about people who are financially stressed, we think they are short on money, but the truth is they are also short on cognitive capacity.”

If you are always thinking about overdue bills, a mortgage or rent, or college loans, it takes away from your focus on other things.

So being late on loans could end up costing you both interest points and IQ points, Mullainathan said.

Conjoined boys separated in Dallas

By JAMIE STENGLE The Associated Press DALLAS – The mother of twins successfully separated after being born joined at the chest says she’s looking forward to holding the babies she once thought had no chance of survival.

“I’m just so happy that they’re here and they’re alive and thriving. It’s the best feeling in the world,” Jenni Ezell said Thursday during a news conference at Medical City Children’s Hospital in Dallas, where she was joined by husband Dave and a doctor.

Owen and Emmett Ezell were separated Saturday at the hospital after being born

joined from just below the breast bone to just below the belly button on July 15. The babies shared a liver and intestines and had an about 3 inch by 5 inch area on their lower stomach that wasn’t covered by skin or muscles.

“The whole pregnancy was very frightening. I didn’t know what would happen.

I didn’t know if they would make it. It’s hard as a mom to know that,” Ezell said tearfully.

Dr. Clair Schwenueman, a neonatologist, said that once the boys were born, tests were done to determine exactly how many connections they had. During the nine-hour surgery, a team of surgeons

separated the liver and intestines, with the most difficult part the separation of a shared blood vessel in the liver.

“At this point they’re as stable as we could hope for post-operatively,” Schwenueman said.

Conjoined twins are rare, occurring in about one in 50,000 to one in 200,000 deliveries, the doctor said.

The Ezells, both 31, discovered the twins they were expecting were conjoined on March 1, when she was 17 weeks pregnant. The couple, who now live in Dallas but lived in Oklahoma at the time, said their doctor there gave them little hope the babies would survive.

8NATION BRIEFS Sierra fire puts holiday tourists in quandary SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The huge Sierra Nevada wildfire and its smoke plume have caused some fearful tourists to opt out of plans for the last big travel weekend of the summer, but most appear intent to go through with vacations to destinations such as Yosemite National Park and Lake Tahoe.

Those who keep their hard-toget Labor Day lodging reservations in Yosemite will enjoy a pleasant surprise: stunning views with less of the usual holiday congestion. More than 20,000 acres of the Rim Fire are along the northern edge of the 750,000-acre national park.

Court upholds 1st ban on gay-to-straight therapy SAN FRANCISCO – A federal appeals court sided with California on Thursday and upheld the first law in the nation banning a psychological treatment that seeks to turn gay youth straight.

A three-judge panel of the 9th

U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said trying to change a minor’s sexual orientation through therapy appeared dangerous, and that California lawmakers showed that sexual orientation change efforts were outside the scientific mainstream.

Questions remain on mayor’s indiscretions SAN DIEGO – San Diego Mayor Bob Filner is leaving office in disgrace amid sexual harassment allegations and many unanswered questions, including how someone who acknowledged mistreating women for many years could have survived for so long in politics.

The former 10-term congressman leaves office Friday.

Only Filner and perhaps a small circle of advisers know how his behavior went undetected, and they aren’t talking.

Lori Saldana, a former state assemblywoman, said five or six women she invited to speak at a women’s studies class in 2011 confided they were previously

targets of advances that fit a pattern. The women didn’t know Filner behaved the same way toward others and didn’t think of going public, she said.

Saldana said she suspected Filner may have escaped scrutiny in D.C. because he was thousands of miles from voters and outside the spotlight.

N.D. town mobilizes to halt Aryan enclave plan LEITH, N.D. – Residents of a tiny North Dakota farming town are fighting back after learning that a white supremacist wants to turn the community into an Aryan enclave. Craig Cobb has been buying up land in Leith, a town of 16 people, and inviting others who share his views to move there. So far, no one has.

Still, residents fear he could succeed and are mulling property maintenance ordinances to get him to move. They are even considering turning over control of the community to the county to scuttle his takeover plans.

U.S. readies for possible action against Syria Syrian leaders defiant as U.N. finishes probe

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama on Thursday prepared for the possibility of launching unilateral American military action against Syria within days as Britain opted out in a stunning vote

by Parliament. Facing skepticism at home, too, the administration shared intelligence with lawmakers aimed at convincing them the Syrian government used chemical weapons against its people and must be punished.

Despite roadblocks in forming an international coalition, Obama appeared undeterred and advisers said he would be willing to retaliate against Syria on his own.

“The president of the United States is elected with the duty to protect the national security interests in the United States of America,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said.

Even before the vote in London, the U.S. was preparing to act without formal authorization from the United Nations, where Russia has blocked efforts to seek a resolution au-

But the U.S. had expected Britain, a major ally, to join in the effort.

Top U.S. officials spoke with certain lawmakers for more than 90 minutes in a teleconference Thursday evening to explain why they believe

Bashar Assad’s government was the culprit in a suspected chemical attack last week.

Lawmakers from both parties have been pressing Obama to provide a legal rationale for military action, to specify objectives and to lay out a firm case linking Assad

to the attack.

Afterward, the House Democratic leader, Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, pointedly sided with Republican Speaker John Boehner of Ohio in urging the administration to do more to engage with Congress on the matter.

8NATION BRIEFS HPV vaccine for boys has ‘good start’ in first year ATLANTA – When the HPV vaccine was first recommended for boys, health officials worried it would be an unusually hard sell. But a new report suggests that might not be the case.

About 1 in 5 boys got at least one of the recommended three doses last year, relatively good for a new vaccine aimed at adolescents. The shots are largely intended not to protect boys from disease, but to stop them from spreading a sexually transmitted virus to girls that could cause cervical cancer.

Judge’s apology rejected by rape victim’s mother BILLINGS, Mont. – The mother of a teen who was raped by her teacher at age 14 and later committed suicide appeared at a Thursday protest against the judge who sentenced the man to a month in jail and said the victim was “older than her chronological age.”

The protest came as prosecutors considered an appeal of the sentence by Montana District Judge G. Todd Baugh, whose actions in the case have drawn condemnation from across the country. The victim’s mother, Auliea Hanlon, said the judge was merely “covering his butt” when he apologized on Wednesday for his comments.

Americans driving less as car culture wanes WASHINGTON – Driving in America has stalled, leading researchers to ask: Is the love

affair with the automobile over?

Total vehicle use in the U.S. – the collective miles people drive – peaked in August 2007.

It dropped sharply during the Great Recession and has largely plateaued since. This week, the Federal Highway Administration reported vehicle miles traveled during the first half of 2013 were down slightly, continuing the trend. The average number of miles drivers individually rack up peaked in July 2004 at more than 900 per month, according to a study by Transportation Department economists. By July of last year, that had fallen to 820 miles per month.

DAMASCUS, Syria – President Bashar Assad vowed Thursday that “Syria will defend itself” against Western military strikes over a suspected chemical weapons attack, and the U.N. said inspectors will leave within 48 hours carrying information that could be crucial to what happens next.

British Prime Minister David Cameron argued strongly for military intervention in Syria but was rejected in a preliminary vote in Parliament, while French defense officials said openly for the first time that their military is preparing for a possible operation. The Obama administration was briefing congressional leaders about its case for attacking Syria.

Powers limited, Obama seeks action on guns WASHINGTON – Vice President Joe Biden declared Thursday that the Obama administration would take two new steps to curb American gun violence.

But the narrow scope of those steps served as reminders that without congressional backing, President Barack Obama’s capacity to make a difference is severely inhibited.

One policy will bar military-grade weapons that the U.S. sells or donates to allies from being imported back into the U.S. The ban will largely affect World War II-era weapons that rarely turn up at crime scenes. The Obama administration is also proposing to close a loophole it says allows felons to skirt the law by registering certain guns to a corporation or trust.

cal weapons attack Aug. 21 on rebel-held suburbs of Damascus. The Syrian government denies the allegations, saying rebels staged the attack to frame the regime.

At the United Nations, a meeting of the permanent members of the Security Council on the Syrian crisis ended after less than an hour after being convened by Russia, a staunch ally of the Assad regime.

As Western leaders made their case at home for intervening in Syria’s 3-year-old civil war, Assad remained defiant.

“Threats to launch a direct aggression against Syria will make it more adherent to its well-established principles and sovereign decisions stemming from the will of its people, and Syria will defend itself against any aggression,” he said in comments reported by the Syrian state news agency.

Undersheriff drops allegation Chemical allegations haunt Iran that complaint was frivolous The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Continued from page A1 The commission had been scheduled Thursday to hear Zinke’s motion alleging that Skinner’s complaint was frivolous, but Zinke attorney Mark Gummerson informed the commission Monday that he had no intention of pursuing it. They did not attend.

The first opinion the commission asked of the State’s Attorney’s Office was to see whether language could be added to the ethics ordinance to define a frivolous complaint.

The present ordinance, which is practically identical to the model ethics ordinance drafted by the Illinois Attorney General’s Office for local governments to emulate, contains no definition.

Commission Chairman Thomas Spencer said a definition is needed so as not to scare off people with legitimate complaints, while at the same time deterring people who would seek to use the commission as a political tool by filing meritless complaints against public officials.

“I think, at least as to that portion of [the ordinance], there is a lot of room for interpretation,” Spencer said.

Skinner’s complaint alleged that Zinke’s email – disputing Skinner’s blog postings and pictures alleging that Zinke gave him the middle finger at a parade – violated the ordinance’s ban on

prohibited political activities.

The email was sent on Zinke’s work email during work hours and made multiple references to his candidacy for sheriff. Zinke is running to succeed Sheriff Keith Nygren, who is not seeking re-election in 2014.

The commission met July 25 to determine whether Skinner’s complaint was sufficient. After hearing comment from Gummerson and after a 30-minute closed session, the committee voted, 4-0, with one member absent, that it was not. Skinner’s complaint was the third ever received by the commission, which was seated in 2005, and the first to go all the way to a sufficiency hearing.

The fact that commission members appeared to struggle with how to proceed, along with the closed-session deliberations, raised concerns with several County Board members. The board’s Management Services Committee began looking into whether the ethics ordinance and the commission’s bylaws needed change. Three of the committee members and board Chairwoman Tina Hill, R-Woodstock, attended Thursday’s meeting.

The commission Thursday also asked for a state’s attorney’s opinion on whether it would be possible to enact more stringent requirements restricting the ability of the commission to enter closed session. The Illinois Open Meetings Act limits the rea-

sons a public body can cite to exclude the public and deliberate privately. Bodies already have the option to reject the exemption and discuss any matter in open session.

In another motion, the commission asked the state’s attorney to explore language changes that would more clearly define its role in enforcing the ordinance’s two prohibitions – engaging in prohibited political activity and violating the ordinance’s gift ban.

While the commission can rule on gift ban violations – which carry a fine between $1,000 and $5,000 – it forwards prohibited political activities claims it rules are sufficient to the State’s Attorney’s Office for possible prosecution.

Violating that portion of the ordinance is a criminal offense punishable by up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine.

Skinner and his attorney, Robert Hanlon, attended Thursday’s meeting. While Skinner said after the meeting that he was happy he would not be facing sanctions, he echoed the sentiment that Hanlon told the commission during public comment – that they blew the call when it came to Skinner’s original complaint.

“If this email is not prohibited political activity, using his county email address and referencing his campaign seven, eight times, what on earth would be a violation of the ethics ordinance?” Skinner said.

Swedish natives protest miners

You’ll Flip over Two Sides!

The ASSOCIATED PRESS JOKKMOKK, Sweden – On a dirt road passing through sparkling lakes and spruce woods in the wilds of northern Sweden, a woman belonging to Europe’s only indigenous people – the Sami – chants a traditional, high-pitched tune.

Since the end of the last Ice Age, the Sami have wandered the vast landscapes of northern Europe, herding reindeer and nurturing a philosophy of harmony with nature. This time, however, the woman’s Joik – a Sami chant that involves gliding over notes without lyrics – has a desperate tone to it: Her voice trembles and grows into a scream as four policemen remove her from the road. She had been protesting a British mining company’s plans for an open pit mine on ancient lands.

The woman is one of dozens of Sami and environmental activists who gathered recently on the site, setting up road blocks, burning bonfires and flying the Sami flag, with the aim to block the company from conducting test blasts near the town of Jokkmokk on the Arctic Circle.

The escalating conflict pits the Sami’s lifestyle and stunning mountain environment against job creation in an area suffering population decline.

The dispute has largely divided the population of Jokkmokk, a town of 5,000 people, into two camps – with Sami and environmentalists on one side and non-Sami locals and entrepreneurs on the other.

While the town looks peaceful on the surface, the two camps have hurled venom at each in social media, and some fear the rift could upset the calm in an area where Sami and other Swedes have lived peacefully together for centuries.

The Sami people number about 80,000, including 50,000 in Norway, 20,000 in Sweden, 8,000 in Finland and 2,000 in Russia. In Sweden, around 2,500 still make a living from herding reindeer and selling the meat.

hind Assad and seeks to shift attention to efforts at blocking possible Western military action against Syria. Damascus is a critical ally for Tehran as a major foothold in the Arab world and its pathway to funnel aid to its main proxy militant, Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Iran’s strategy includes a series of warnings that Israel could be drawn into a wider conflict – most likely by Hezbollah offensives – if the U.S. and others launch attacks on Syrian government sites.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – For more than a generation, Iranian papers have regularly posted the announcements: Another veteran from the 1980s war with Iraq has died of complications blamed on exposure to chemical weapons from Saddam Hussein’s arsenal.

Each one is buried with a hero’s honors.

The claims now that Iran’s Syrian allies used similar tactics, including pos-

sibly unleashing sarin gas, has forced Tehran’s leaders into perhaps their most difficult juncture of the nearly 30-month civil war.

Iran’s rulers could face an uncomfortable backlash at home – and possibly stir upheavals inside its powerful Revolutionary Guard – if they’re seen as ignoring allegations and U.N. investigations into possible chemical attacks by Bashar Assad’s regime.

Yet Iran remains, for the moment at least, solidly be-

is new – from the freshly installed FieldTurf the Red Raiders will play on to the Under Armour uniforms they will wear Friday night – other things haven’t changed.

Much of the talent Hart inherited when he took over the Red Raiders program before last season is gone.

But enough remains to keep nonsense to a minimum.

“I know last year, we’d go into some things blind – we didn’t know what we were doing,” senior defensive back Mike Andrews said. “Now we have a better understanding of what we’re doing, and we can make sure everyone’s on the same page.”

Hart, the son of a World War II Army Ranger and the younger brother of an Army colonel, is serious about every aspect of his program. Even the smallest detail requires attention. While there are moments of good-natured ribbing – like when Hart tells younger players that if they don’t like having to surrender their jerseys to team veterans, they can come see Hart, ‘hand me your tough [expletive] card and I’ll stamp it for you” – on most occasions, business is business.

It’s an approach Hart expects to filter through his ranks. Because he believes players are more apt to listen to their peers, Hart instituted the same Division Commander program he used at Indianapolis Warren Central, where he won an Indiana state championship in 2009.

On the first day of twoa-days, each position group chooses two players from its unit to represent it. In all, 13 Division Commanders are chosen, forming a group Hart charges with making sure things are being carried out correctly.

If players aren’t where they are supposed to be, Hart expects his Division Commanders to take care of it.

When calls are made from the sideline during a game, it’s the Division Commanders who pass the call from

position group to position group, ensuring a higher level of success.

It’s all part of Hart’s master plan. Last season, Hart guided the Red Raiders to a 6-4 record, their first winning season since 2008 and only a year removed from a 2-7 season – the school’s worst since 2005.

Two of Huntley’s losses were decided by a single point, including Huntley’s playoff opener – a 10-9 heartbreaking loss to Fenwick.

While the results weren’t all Hart was hoping for, he found that by year’s end, players were buying into his methods.

“Leadership has to come from a core,” Hart says. “The bigger the core, the better chance you have of getting great leadership. I think [coaches] all understand that leadership comes from your core – and that’s your kids – it doesn’t come from the top.”

Of the 13 Division Commanders, 10 are seniors.

Among the three underclass-

men is Blake Jacobs, Huntley’s junior starting quarterback. Hart considers Jacobs to be one of the most intelligent players he has coached during his 29-year career.

Although Jacobs is gifted, he hasn’t experienced what Hart calls “varsity fire.”

Despite his youthfulness, though, Jacobs’ position makes him a natural candidate as a Division Commander, forcing the leader in him to come out more than perhaps it normally would.

“If people aren’t doing what they’re supposed to, I’ll get on them,” Jacobs says.

“They may not like me right then, but they know we need to get the job done.”

Sometimes, criticism comes off as being too harsh.

But deep down, veterans such as defensive lineman and first-year Division Commander Brandon Dranka know the message is understood, even if it isn’t fully when it is delivered.

“I think they respect me enough to listen to me,” Dranka says. “But I like [the leadership] role because last year, I was a follower, and that’s a lot different. As a leader, you’ve got to tell everyone what to do, and I think that brings a lot of respect to you.”

Huntley’s Division Commanders are a blend of vocal leaders – such as Andrews and Dranka – and those, such as Jacobs, who speak few words. Throughout the ranks, there’s a level of respect that grows throughout the season, allowing the quality of leadership to develop as much as Hart hopes his team’s talent does throughout the season.

But ultimately, Hart insists, both are up to his players – not him, making the role of his leadership core even more critical.

The responsibilities started well before the Red Raiders’ opener because, as Hart tells his players in the Monday meeting, the final score is only a reflection of which team prepared better.

That means, for Division Commanders, there’s never an off day.

It’s a lesson Andrews learned on his first year on the job and one he passes on to those who haven’t yet fully grasped Hart’s all-business approach.

“You cannot follow the guys who come to practice to goof off,” Andrews says.

“You just can’t. You have to pay attention and work hard.

There can’t be a single play you don’t try.”

Attorney fears slippery slope with license proposal • BOATING Continued from page A1 before piloting a boat. Currently those 12 through 17 years old need the certification in order to pilot a boat.

“What we’re moving toward is mandatory education in this proposal,” Illinois Conservation Police Acting Deputy Chief Joe Morelock said.

About two-thirds of those that signed up to testify were opposed to at least one of the proposed bills, said state Sen. Julie Morrison, who serves as the special committee’s chairwoman.

Operating a boat under the influence is unrelated to driving, and the proposal puts the state on a slippery slope to ty-

When they get off the boat, they’re getting in their car and driving.”

Margaret Borcia ing other offenses to people’s licenses, said David Zipp, an Ingleside attorney who frequently represents people charged with boating under the influence.

The change would serve as a deterrent, Morelock said.

“A common question asked by a violator that we catch operating under the influence is, ‘How does this affect my driver’s license?’ and it’s interesting that as soon as you tell them, ‘It doesn’t affect your driver’s license,’ they cooperate fully with taking

Dare to Dream

any tests or anything else you want to administer,” he said.

So far this year, 51 people have been charged with operating boats under the influence on the Chain O’ Lakes, Illinois Department of Natural Resources Director Marc Miller said. In 2012, that number was 100, nearly half the to-

tal number of people charged statewide.

“People who say there’s no connection between driving and boating – a lot of those people don’t live on the Lakes,” Margaret Borcia said. “When they get off the boat, they’re getting in their car and driving.”

Borcia’s 10-year-old son, Tony, was killed when a boat driven by a man who later pleaded guilty to driving under the influence hit him.

Morrison, the legislation’s’ sponsor, is Tony Borcia’s aunt.

response to it.

Schaffer said he sent the email in an effort to be fair to Clifford, and to give him an opportunity to respond to comments from board members.

Schaffer said it was no secret there were board members who wanted to oust Clifford, who never had a chance to respond to points of contention. Clifford alleged that he was forced out because he would not turn a blind eye to patronage requests.

“I thought Alex had to get a chance to tell his side of the story,” Schaffer said. “I sent the list to Alex and felt he needed to do a rebuttal in writing.”

Three-and-a-half weeks after Schaffer’s email, Clifford responded.

In his emailed response to Schaffer, Clifford said he looked at a few of the documents, and his lawyers concluded the attachments were protected by attorney-client privilege and that Schaffer was not authorized to share the documents with Clifford.

Clifford then told Schaffer he intended to delete an email sent March 12.

“Alex is smarter than I am,” Schaffer continued.

“He realized it was privileged information.”

Schaffer said he thinks Clifford had the information in the attached documents

prior to Schaffer sending his original email.

Since Clifford’s departure, five Metra board members, including former Chairman Brad O’Halloran, have resigned.

“I take his [Clifford’s] word over Brad O’Halloran any day of the week,” Schaffer said in referring to board member’s desire to be rid of Clifford.

Clifford resigned from Metra and received a severance package of $718,000.

When the board voted to approve the deal, Schaffer was the only one to vote against the deal, which many have called hush money.

Clifford had threatened to go public with allegations of political patronage hiring.

State Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, said that even if Schaffer did not have malicious intent in passing along the information, the email sent March 12 by Schaffer was inappropriate and breached “his fiduciary duty.”

“It’s clear he gave confidential and privileged information,” Franks said.

Franks reiterated his belief that Schaffer, who has less than a year left on his term on the board, should resign.

Franks said Clifford’s response was meant to cover himself. “[Schaffer] may not have had malicious intent, but he still had a fiduciary obligation,” Franks said.

Ready for high school football?

It happens every year, but it never gets old.

Friday night, high school football begins.

There’s the anticipation all day. Then, the final preparations and nerves.

And by 7 p.m., many of you will be in your seats and ready.

Football has been getting a bad name lately.

This week, our sports department even took a look at what life would be like For the record without high school football.

Whether your team wins or The details ran in loses, prep football games are our high school an experience. football preview section, which was in Wednesday’s newspaper and is available at McHenryCountySports.com.

Tonight, we will be pleased to escape reality.

Because nowhere else in our community do we get the same experience of gathering together, rooting for one goal, and enjoying nine consecutive Friday nights together.

For the lucky few whose team makes the playoffs, it will go on even longer.

For those who aren’t connected to a local high school, go out and see for yourself. Early in the season, the weather will be nice. The atmosphere will be better.

There’s really nothing, in high school sports, that compares.

Whether your team wins or loses, it’s an experience. One that you’ll remember, and they’ll remember.

So pack up the kids. Bring a few extra bucks for hot dogs and hamburgers, because the proceeds generally go directly back to supporting student activities, and be ready to cheer.

It’s Friday night football time again.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Hands off my kids To the Editor: As a father of 19-month-old triplet daughters, I feel compelled to write this letter.

I’m sure other parents of multiples will completely agree with what I am about to say.

When my wife and I go out to the store or a mall, it is a job in and of itself to get out the door. When we

get to our destination and start to unload our three girls, the freak show begins. At times, it is circus like.

Triplets, as we have witnessed in the past year-and-a-half, are a magnet for attention. While we understand it is not every day that people see or come in contact with triplets, what we don’t understand is why people feel the need to

touch and rub them. My kids are not a petting zoo for people and their kids. When we tell people to please not touch our girls, some get offended.

We have been harassed, cussed at, and, in the last incident, threatened with bodily harm. Why is it so hard for some people to understand that we don’t want their germs on our kids? When one

gets sick, all three get sick.

Parents of multiples understand this can be a nightmare. We don’t mind if you comment, wave or talk to us. But please do not touch them. But for those of you who feel the need to touch them, we have to ask, “Why?” Brian Tucsek Woodstock

8BOTH SIDES: CRYSTAL LAKE SOUTH BLEACHERS EXPANSION

District 155 should do right With rules followed, time to by going through city process stop wasting taxpayer money “Disappointed” – the word that best describes the sinking feeling the Crystal Lake City Council had when we learned of District 155’s actions in what, someday, might be referred to as the great bleacher debacle.

We believe that District 155 is among the best school systems in the state, and we are thankful for the district’s contributions to the community.

That’s why its actions are so disappointing.

District 155’s decision to move forward with the construction of the bleachers at Crystal Lake South without warning was a deviation from a 50-year tradition of cooperation and collaboration between the district and city.

In the process, the district violated Crystal Lake’s ordinances and impacted property values without affording neighbors even the most basic level of due process. With actions so out of character, the immediate question is why? Why would the district harm neighbors without notice and jeopardize a long-standing relationship with the city?

No matter what the district might say, the most plausible theory is that the district had no desire to go through the city’s process because it knew the project could not meet city standards. If it had asked for approval from the city as it had 26 times in the past 25 years, it might have been told “no,” and that was an answer it could not live with.

So the district followed the ask-for-forgiveness-rather-than-permission approach and worked hastily.

Perhaps it believed that the neighbors would not have the will to challenge it.

Perhaps it believed the city would turn a deaf ear to the

GUEST VIEW Aaron Shepley neighbors. Either way, it was wrong, and now there is a lawsuit with taxpayer-supported lawyers on both sides.

Sadly, rather than admitting that it made a mistake and trying to fix it, the district is digging in.

Through its lawyers, the district would have taxpayers believe that the legal picture is “murky” and that the school code “trumps” local zoning ordinances. The Illinois Attorney General and the Illinois Supreme Court would beg to differ.

The attorney general publicly has confirmed that school districts in Illinois are subject to local zoning ordinances. The school code expressly authorizes districts to apply for zoning variations, which raises the question of why that authorization is necessary if schools are not required to seek such approvals. No, the legal picture is not nearly as murky as the district would have taxpayers believe. The weakness of its position is confirmed by the district’s actions over the past 50 years. District lawyers may claim that the 26 times that they sought permits or approvals in the past 25 years were somehow different.

Perhaps, but only because this is the biggest intrusion on neighbors’ rights in the history of the district.

Some say the neighbors are in the minority and they should keep quiet because they came to the nuisance.

Unfortunately, that position is not factually true because the neighbors did not move next to that stadium. The

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

position is also inconsistent with how we behave in a democratic society. Democracy is not simply majority rules. It is majority rules with protections for minority rights because our founders were worried about situations like this one.

District 155 history teachers will confirm that the founders’ fears were of the “tyranny of the majority.”

That is why the Bill of Rights promises, among other things, that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of the law.

In this case, the neighbors were not simply denied due process; they were denied any process.

Therefore, it is not fair to ask them to forgo their rights and take one for the team.

So what now? It is beyond question that a lawsuit with taxpayer-supported lawyers on both sides of the issue will cost taxpayers, and that is wrong.

Fortunately, the right thing to do also happens to be most economical: the district should snap out of whatever funk it is operating under and take affirmative steps to model the values that it teaches our children every day. It should immediately vote to follow the city’s rules.

It should proceed through the city’s process and let the chips fall where they may. Lawsuit over, problem solved.

These are the rules that everyone else in Crystal Lake is required to follow, and the rules that the district has followed for the last half century.

Neither the neighbors who filed the lawsuit nor the city are asking for more.

• Aaron Shepley is mayor of Crystal Lake.

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Sixteen times in the past five years, District 155 has obtained building permits from the McHenry County Regional Office of Education for construction projects in Crystal Lake.

This is nothing new.

State law specifically provides the local ROE with responsibility for reviewing, issuing permits for, and inspecting school construction. The Illinois State Board of Education requirements are applied uniformly by our ROE and all public schools across the state.

That is not to say the city of Crystal Lake or any other municipality is prohibited from having input into local school construction matters.

In fact, the same legal provisions that require the ROE to review, permit and inspect school construction also give local municipalities an opportunity to participate in the process – but they must request that opportunity from the ROE, and they cannot change the requirements that apply to schools.

During this year’s permitting process, the city of Crystal Lake chose not to participate.

Each year, District 155 hosts public meetings to discuss construction plans, publicly votes to approve projects, and submits permit applications to the ROE. During the past 14 years, the district completed at least 32 projects in Crystal Lake following the ROE permit process.

This summer, we completed Crystal Lake projects with five ROE permits and no direct city permits. Yet, only the bleacher project at Crystal Lake South received the city’s attention.

The city contends that District 155 is breaking from past practice to construct

GUEST VIEW Ted Wagner South’s bleachers, and it believes District 155 has completed only 26 construction projects in a quarter century – during a time when we saw Crystal Lake enrollment double.

It bases this on 26 city permits. What the city is not specifying is that most of these permits were for sewer and electric hookups or school signs – projects that involved the city’s utilities or right of way.

The 26 permits do not include actual building construction projects. For example, with community support, South was expanded in 2003. That project was completed with ROE permits, not city permits. The district has actual construction going on every summer.

A challenge of maintaining school buildings is that work must take place in the short time when students are not in school. Our projects are important to our community, they are incredibly time sensitive, and they are done with permits from the ROE, not the city.

The district upgraded South’s bleachers to create a safer environment for students and the community. We host spectators of all ages for football games, track meets and graduations.

Safety is our top priority, and was the single most important motivation for this project.

Year after year, fans line the fence because they cannot find bleacher seats – causing dangerous crowd control and safety issues.

When a structural engineer’s

audit found the press box to be unsafe and unusable, we elected to address the stadium’s many issues with one comprehensive project.

We replaced bleachers and a press box that were purchased “used” some 30 years ago, lacked structural integrity, were not ADAcompliant, did not utilize current safety features, and required additional seats to accommodate spectators.

The district was excited about these improvements.

We appreciated the Northwest Herald reporting May 2 about the bleacher project, our new science and special education classrooms, and other summer work.

We undertook this project according to the ROE process required by state law. However, once the city posted a formal “stop-work order,” and two neighbors filed a lawsuit to prevent students’ use of the stadium facilities, we instructed our counsel to take legal action so that the project could be completed before the start of school.

The district felt it was important for students and the community to use South’s facilities for curricular and extracurricular activities.

District 155 values its relationship with Crystal Lake and every other municipality we serve. We represent many of the same taxpayers, and we cannot run the schools or educate our students without community support. We believe it is the responsibility of District 155 and the city to amicably resolve this dispute, but not at the expense of compromising our schools.

It is time to work out a plan to move forward and stop wasting taxpayers’ dollars in court.

8COMMUNITY NEWS

POLICE SAY MAN EXPOSED HIMSELF McHENRY – The McHenry Police Department has increased patrols near school bus stops after a man exposed himself to a young girl Wednesday morning.

A 13-year-old girl was walking east on Beach Drive in the McHenry Shores subdivision around 7 a.m. Wednesday when a driver in a vehicle stopped and asked her for directions, Police Chief John Jones said. As the teen approached the passenger-side window, the man exposed himself.

The girl backed away, went to school and contacted her parents and police, Jones said. McHenry School District 15 officials later sent a letter to parents making them aware of the incident.

The vehicle was described as a late-1990s green SUV with a damaged bumper and rust on the left side of the tailgate. It also had a white Air Jordan symbol in the rear window.

The man reportedly had short, blond hair and was in his 20s. He was described as white, wearing a red shirt and sunglasses.

The investigation is ongoing.

‘Soap opera’ drug case ends CL man sentenced to probation for possession of controlled substance

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A McHenry County judge Thursday ordered probation for a Crystal Lake man who previously admitted to possessing

small amounts of morphine in a case so full of scandalous testimony that one attorney called it a “soap opera.”

Christopher L. Branham, 44, previously pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance after a two-day

bench trial in July before Judge Sharon Prather.

Branham’s fiancee, Charity Meyers, in March 2011 alerted authorities that Branham had drugs at their Crystal Lake home. Soon after, Meyers started a sexual

relationship with McHenry County sheriff’s deputy Jason Novak, who was the lead detective in the drug case against Branham. Meyers testified at the trial that she had sex with Novak just hours after Branham’s arrest.

Branham and Meyers are still engaged and living together.

“I don’t think Chris denies his relationship with Charity Meyers is toxic,” Branham’s

Michael A. Tapia, 22, of 1041 Aspen Court, Belvidere, is charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm, a Class 1 felony, and mob action, a Class 4 felony. Teovonni A. Cunningham, 29, of 4119 Mila Ave., Rockford, and Juan Esquivel, 23, of 10030 Cemetery Road, Pecatonica, are each charged with mob action.

Harvard police were dispatched at 3:45 a.m. April 7 for a report of gunshots. When they arrived, they found a 22-year-old Harvard resident with a gunshot wound to his back that was not life–threatening.

The offenders fled, but were taken into custody Wednesday at their homes. The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office and U.S. Marshals Service assisted.

All three men are being held at the McHenry County Jail.

Tapia’s bond has been set at $100,000. Esquivel and Cunningham have a bond set at $10,000.

D-155, teachers union continue negotiations Talks not expected to interrupt daily activities

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The expired teachers union contract for faculty at Community High School District 155 is not expected to interrupt daily activities.

Leaders from the district board and education association said negotiations have been ongoing since the previous contract expired June 30, and there is no impasse in talks.

“It will be business as usual,” said Justin Hubly, president of the Community High School District 155 Education Association. Ted

Wagner, board president, confirmed that negotiations were still taking place.

Neither could comment further on the situation.

Under terms of the previous agreement reached in June 2011, the salary schedule for the district’s more than 400 teachers was

frozen. In the first year, pay remained flat for the 88 teachers at the top of the schedule. The rest of the teachers received a step increase of $2,404.

The agreement also called for teachers to pay more for health insurance.

Additional employee contributions for benefits made up the majority of the estimated $2 million in savings over two years.

Still, the district spent $68.5 million on salaries and benefits last year, and the outcome of the negotiations could determine whether

age YMCA employees and community leaders broke ground on the new “Y” Thursday, a project that will more than double the facility’s size and expand programs offered to the community.

The renovations and expansion will include an eight-lane competitive swimming pool, an 8,000-squarefoot fitness and wellness center, a new preschool wing, a new whirlpool and sauna and a hospitality room for meetings and celebrations.

The renovations will expand the Sage YMCA, located at 701 Manor Road in Crystal Lake, to 71,000 square feet from its current size of 29,000 square feet. The $18 million construction project has received 90 percent of its funding, and there is a capital campaign underway to cover the remaining $2 million.

Huntley assisted-living facility evacuated after gas leak detected NORTHWEST HERALD

On the Net

HUNTLEY – A gas leak near a Huntley assisted-living center Thursday left some residents without a home for a few hours.

Air quality monitoring within the center determined that it should be evacuated, according to a release from Huntley Fire and Rescue.

Residents and staff members at Heritage Woods of Huntley, 12450 Regency Parkway, were moved to the nearby Huntley Fire Station 3 and then shuttled by ambulances and buses to Huntley Village Hall as a precaution.

A construction crew erecting a light pole struck a gas line around 9 a.m. Thursday.

Nicor stopped the gas leak

at 10 a.m., the release said.

In all, 78 residents, 25 employees, three cats and a dog were evacuated and taken to Village Hall.

Nursing supervisor Susan Wrzeszcz was impressed with the response from Huntley firefighters.

“They were all pretty calm,” she said. “There was no one freaking out.”

This was the first largescale evacuation for the facility.

“It went pretty smoothly,”

River Road traffic to shift McHENRY – Northbound and southbound traffic on River Road will shift onto the newly constructed pavement north of Charles J. Miller Road on Friday, according to a construction alert.

Drivers should expect delays, construction operations manager Todd Destree warned in an email update.

The construction is part of a two-phase project that will widen the two-lane Charles Miller Road to four lanes and construct a second two-lane bridge over the Fox River to create two lanes of traffic in each direction.

Officials expect this phase of the two-part project to be completed by Oct. 15. Work began in November.

For information and to sign up for updates on the project, visit charlesmillerroad.com.

Emails will be sent to those that sign up alerting them where and

when construction activities and potential traffic delays will occur.

District could have surplus of $200K • TEACHERS Continued from page B1

Trial date set for Nov. 4 in shaken baby case WOODSTOCK – A jury trial has been set for a Cary man accused of shaking a child in his care.

Alvin D. Santiago, 29, was charged in October 2012 with aggravated battery to a child, a Class X felony. His trial date is set for Nov. 4.

Police at the time said Santiago was running an unlicensed day care out of his home at 350 Ann St. The day care has since been shuttered.

Authorities six weeks before Santiago’s arrest were called to the home for a report of a 3-month-old girl who was unconscious and not breathing.

Santiago had been responsible for the infant and several others at the time.

The child suffered significant head trauma and underwent several surgeries, but eventually was released from medical care.

Court records indicate that Santiago has a child about the same age as the alleged victim.

A Class X felony is punishable by between six and 30 years in prison.

the district has an operating surplus or deficit this fiscal year.

Budget projections show

the district could have a $200,000 surplus in operation costs, but that number easily could become a $300,000 deficit as negotiations continue with the teachers union and administrators. The $200,000 surplus assumes that sal-

aries and benefits remain flat during this school year, but for every 1 percent potential increase, the district must spend about $500,000, according to T. Ferrier, assistant superintendent of finance.

I keep calling and can’t get through: That’s because each Vault Bag is guara teed to co tai a free Silver Walki g Liberty coi a d just that o e coi alo e could be worth $15-$325 i collector value.

Branham given two years’ probation • DRUGS Continued from page B1 defense attorney, Dan Hofmann, said. Hofmann argued that probation was appropriate because Branham had “accepted all the criminal responsibility [he] needed to.”

On April 28, 2011, members of the Narcotics Task Force, including Novak, went to the home that Meyers and Bran-

ham share, where they found multiple prescription drugs that were packaged as if for sale.

Assistant State’s Attorney Kate Lenhard said Meyers became the “fall guy” for Branham’s crimes and sought to have Branham sentenced to four years in prison. Instead, he was given two years of probation.

Prosecutors said Meyers would have said anything on

the stand to repair her relationship with Branham.

“She was trying to keep her man,” Lenhard said.

And for Branham’s part, she said, “all he’s done is blame someone else for the actions he committed.”

Branham also was found guilty of possessing a firearm as a felon.

He was convicted about 18 years ago with drug trafficking in Kentucky.

Expected completion date is Dec. 2014 • YMCA Continued from page B1 the group gathered for Thursday’s groundbreaking.

Foglia, whose financial investment saved the YMCA from bankruptcy in 2011 and allowed the YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago to assume management, said the newly renovated “Y” will be a model for the entire country.

“I’ve had a lot of dreams,” he said. “This has been one for quite a few years. … This will be the flagship YMCA, I’m sure, for the United States when it gets done.”

Crystal Lake Mayor Aaron Shepley was among the community leaders on hand for the groundbreaking, and he said thanks to Foglia’s vision, Crystal Lake will have a facility that will benefit the entire community.

“I’ve had a lot of dreams.

This has been one for quite a few years. …

This will be the flagship YMCA, I’m sure, for the United States when it gets done.”

Vince Foglia Sage Chairman and CEO “We’re absolutely grateful to Vince Foglia, the Foglia family and the Metro YMCA for making the decision to invest in this community and to invest in this facility at this place,” Shepley said. “I think it’s a tremendous development.”

Shepley added that the new swimming pool will be a particular asset to the local high school swim teams.

“The most important thing for me is something I’ve been talking about in Crystal Lake for a long time, and that is that this facility is going to have a competitive swimming pool that will allow our local school districts to host home meets and have viable, strong teams, much more so than they’ve had in the past,” Shepley said.

The last phase of the project is expected to be completed in December 2014.

Robyn Ostrem, executive director of the Sage YMCA, said the pool and the new preschool wing will be strong additions to the Crystal Lake community. She said the look and feel of the renovated building will be a place residents will enjoy for years to come.

“The ‘Y’ is going to really truly be a community destination,” she said. “It will be welcoming from the moment you come in.”

Day care will have eight to 10 employees • CHILD CARE Continued from page B1 6 weeks to 12 years old, Penney said. Over the years, Penney, of Spring Grove, wanted to open a new location and bought pieces of equipment from other day cares and put them into storage.

“I’ve always wanted a sec-

ond center,” Penney said. “I love kids. It’s something I like to do.”

As Penney researched possible locations and was told about the 7,200-square-foot spot in Fox River Grove, she saw there wasn’t a child care in the village. The closest ones are in Cary and Barrington.

“I thought I’d try it and see what happens,” Penney said.

Penney expects to be able to have up to 74 children at the location, but some children would be there only two or three days a week. The location will have eight to 10 employees, Penney said.

She said the preschool, which will have sessions from 9 to 11:30 a.m., will use the same calendar as Fox River Grove District 3.

‘FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE’ WEBCAST: MARIAN CENTRAL AT CL SOUTH, 7 P.M. FRIDAY, McHENRYCOUNTYSPORTS.COM

Lee eager to carry load for Marian

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com

Northwest Herald file photo

Marian Central senior running back Ephraim Lee likely will be a big part of the Hurricanes’ offense this season.

Ephraim Lee assumed a substantial workload last season, logging more rushing attempts than all but three area football players.

There is no question Marian Central wants the ball in its star running back’s hands as often as possible, which is fine with Lee. “I have to step into my leadership role with my game and take the load for the team and carry it,” Lee said. “I’m looking forward to it. I’m

actually pretty excited about getting more carries. If the coaches want me to carry more, I’ll definitely do it.”

Lee (6-foot-1, 185 pounds) is the area’s leading returning rusher after gaining 1,323 yards on 194 carries last season for the 11-1 Hurricanes.

With dynamic two-way threat quarterback Chris Streveler, the twotime Northwest Herald Player of the Year, now at Minnesota, Lee will be the focal point of Marian’s offense.

The Hurricanes, ranked No. 6 in Class 5A by The Associated Press,

visit Crystal Lake South at 7 p.m.

Friday at Ken Bruhn Field.

“We’re going to have to get some holes for [Lee] and get him the ball,” Marian coach Ed Brucker said.

“Right now, we have a fairly inexperienced line, that’s going to be the biggest key. He does everything well. He blocks well, he catches the ball very well. We might get him out of the backfield [for passes] and do some of that. That’s a mismatch we can take advantage of.”

Indians fix early mistakes, rebound to defeat Thunder WOODSTOCK – Woodstock North’s volleyball players already were cheering on the other side of the net, certain Marengo setter Bailey Votava couldn’t keep the ball in play.

For Votava, there never was any doubt. The senior awkwardly got underneath a pass, bent backward and lined a shot behind her that didn’t seem to have a chance of clearing the net.

Instead, the ball skimmed over and dropped to give Marengo a 10-point advantage in Game 3 of the Indians’ nonconference match against the Thunder on Thursday. The play brought the Marengo crowd to its feet and symbolized all the Indians fixed in their 15-25, 25-16, 25-13 victory against North.

After committing 13 errors to lose Game 1, Marengo ditched its two-setter offense in favor of the single-setter 5-1 with Votava running the show. The Indians

“Once I got to know where my [hitters] were, I was finding them and things started to click.”

News sent to your phone

CHICAGO – For the life of me I cannot understand the logic of insisting on scheduling four exhibition games and then refusing to play anyone who’s going to be on your team in the fourth and final game.

I asked coach Marc Trestman the question the other day, and his response was: “That’s a great question. I know Marc that we worked hard Trestman last week to get ready to play a game. We’re going to work hard this week as if it’s training camp and then we’re going to rest them and get ‘em focused on Game 1. The question you have has a good answer.

“There would be some that would say, why not play ’em for a half the week before and get their game conditioning up? So I don’t know that there’s a right or wrong, it’s just the direction that we go here and that a lot of teams around the league are going.”

I won’t argue that there is a right or wrong answer, and certainly Trestman is correct that the overwhelming majority of teams refuse to take the fourth exhibition seriously. But please explain this one to me.

In the unique situation the Bears find themselves, where this veteran team is going to start three rookies in Week 1, is it really possible that Kyle Long, Jordan Mills and Jon Bostic are so far along that they couldn’t have benefited from at least a few reps, or more realistically, a quarter or even a half?

NFL CONCUSSION LAWSUITS

NFL agrees to pay $765M to settle lawsuits

By MARYCLAIRE DALE The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA – The NFL agreed to pay more than three-quarters of a billion dollars to settle lawsuits from thousands of former players who developed dementia or other concussion-related health problems they say were caused by the very on-field violence that fueled the game’s rise to popularity and profit.

The settlement, unprecedented in sports, was announced Thursday after two months of court-ordered mediation and is subject to approval by a federal judge. It came exactly a week before the first game of the 2013 season, removing a major legal and financial threat hanging over the sport for two years.

U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody in Philadelphia is expected to rule on the settlement in two to three months but said it “holds the prospect of avoiding lengthy, expensive and uncertain litigation, and of enhancing the game of football.”

More than 4,500 former players, some of them suffering from Alzheimer’s disease or depression, accused the NFL of concealing the long-term dangers of concussions and rushing injured players back onto the field, while glorifying and profiting from the bone-crushing hits that were often glorified in slow motion on NFL Films.

“Football has been my life and football has been kind to me,” said former Dallas Cowboys running back Tony

Dorsett, one of at least 10 members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame who have filed suit since 2011. “But when I signed up for this, I didn’t know some of the repercussions. I did know I could get injured, but I didn’t know about my head or the trauma or the things that could happen to me later on in life.”

The settlement applies to all past NFL players and spouses of those who are deceased – a group that could total more than 20,000 – and will cost the league $765 million, the vast majority of which would go to compensate retirees with certain neurological ailments, plus plaintiffs’ attorney fees, which could top $100 million. It sets aside $75 million for medical exams and $10 million for medical research.

Individual payouts would be capped at $5 million for men with Alzheimer’s disease; $4 million for those diagnosed after their deaths with a brain condition called chronic traumatic encephalopathy; and $3 million for players with dementia, said lead plaintiffs’ lawyer Christopher Seeger.

“We got what we wanted, let’s put it that way,” said Seeger, who noted that settlement discussions began more than a year ago.

The settlement does not include an admission from the NFL that it hid information from players about head injuries. Commissioner Roger Goodell told league lawyers to “do the right thing for the game and the men who played it,” according to a league statement.

Bears fans find value to preseason finale BEARS INSIDER Tom Musick CHICAGO – Blame Marc Trestman.

He didn’t have to hype the Bears’ preseason finale Thursday against the Cleveland Browns. He didn’t have to speak as if a backup-laden snoozer of a game carried major implications.

He did, anyway.

“There’s great value in this game on multiple levels,” Trestman said.

Hmm. Multiple levels, you say?

Let’s see about that.

In the basement of Soldier Field’s north parking garage, brothers Mike Kasper of McHenry and John Kasper of Arlington Heights sipped on Miller Lites before the game. The right to park there cost $40, if you average the $400 season pass that includes 10 games.

“You’re not going to see any starters,” John Kasper said. “You’re not getting value. Let’s get real.

“But on the other hand, when you do come to a preseason game, what do you expect? You want to see the second and third team perform.”

They did, more or less, in an 18-16 loss.

If not for the preseason finale, Mike Kasper would have hopped on his Harley-Davidson and traveled north from his McHenry home into Wisconsin. But instead of passing through places such as Richmond and Genoa City and Pell Lake, he watched Jordan Palmer and Trent Edwards pass to receivers such as Terrence Toliver and Brittan Golden and Josh Lenz.

No regrets. The Harley could wait.

“We’re Bears fans,” Mike Kasper said. “When the Bears are playing, we’re here.”

Time to go to the next level.

At a concession stand on the ground floor, Slovakian tourists Jan Rudy and Dasa Horkova stood in line to buy an $11 beer and a $4.75 bottled water. The price was not a big deal considering that their tickets were free – a gift from Horkova’s mother’s boss, who lives in Chicago.

“It’s awesome,” Rudy said.

“It’s the best,” Horkova said.

Thanks to the magic of Madden, Rudy recognized at least one of the players on

The fringe roster players who didn’t play – Marquess Wilson, Eben 3by sitting Britton, James Brown and Tony Fiammetta – helped their cause on the sideline. It’s a strong indication their roster spots are sewn up if they didn’t have to play.

“I remember Jay Cutler from my PlayStation games,” Rudy said.

Well, Cutler didn’t play. Neither did Brandon Marshall (who was excused for personal reasons, opening the door for speculation) or Matt Forte or Lance Briggs or Charles Tillman or Julius Peppers or almost everyone else who will matter when the regular season kicks off Sept. 8.

But to two tourists who never had seen an NFL game, there was value on this night.

Time to go to the next level.

Justin Belt of Joliet wore a Blackhawks T-shirt and sipped beer out of a plastic cup as he found his seat in Section 216, Row 17. Belt is a big Bears fan who can name players on the bubble, but if not for the fact that his company gave him free tickets and parking, he would not have come.

“When I was younger, it was, ‘Hey, we’re going to a game,’ ” said Belt, who works in sales in the construction industry. “It took me a long time to realize, ‘Wow, the fourth preseason game.’

“That’s why it’s tough to even give away to customers. They’re kind of like, ‘Ehh.’ ” But Belt was in a good mood as he watched Joe Anderson & Co. compete for a few roster spots. Like everyone else, Belt is curious to see how the Bears will

fare in Trestman’s first season.

“I think they’re either going to be really good, or it’s going to go bad,” Belt said.

“I don’t think there’s any middle.

“I think the bad is if there’s a major injury or if things aren’t working. But I think things are working, you know?”

I’m guessing here, but yes, I think things are working.

Time to go to the next level.

On a platform near the colonnades on the east side of the stadium, Morris couple Sehat and Beyhan Dzelil admired the view of the sailboats on Lake Michigan.

“It’s beautiful out here,” Beyhan Dzelil said.

The Dzelils thought that their view of the game was great, too. It was the first of four games that Sehat split with his brother, with each game costing $255 for a pair of tickets.

“It’s worth it,” Sehat Dzelil said.

“Instead of going out drinking, going to a restaurant, having dinner, you can come here, watch a game, have a few drinks, grab a bite. Have a good time.”

They did.

Trestman was right, after all.

There was great value in this game.

On multiple levels.

Onobun had plenty of bad – two holding penalties (one was 1the Fendi declined) and two drops, including one that turned into a pick-six for Browns.

HUGE SELECTION SELECTIO ON N&C

LLOW OW P PRICES RICES

• ARKUSH Continued from page C1 I know, no right or wrong answer. But really? OK, it was what it was, so let’s move on.

I think the reality is that while I wrote recently there may have been 36 players on the roster competing for 14 spots in the final game, there probably weren’t more than a handful of players the coaches hadn’t made up their minds about.

When I asked assistant head coach Joe DeCamillis the other day about how many final roster decisions would be debated between position coaches and him, he told me: “We’ve met so much that most of the meetings at the end are just to finalize things. We’ve met a lot on personnel during this camp, so we have a good feel of where we’re going to go.”

So let’s talk about a few of the handful of guys whose fate may have actually been in doubt going into the game and how they may have done.

After an excellent offseason and great start to camp, Joe Anderson dinged a shoulder and seemed to have leveled off at wide receiver. With four catches on four targets in the first half for 64 yards and a touchdown, and Earl Bennett’s health still uncertain, it’s almost impossible to see Anderson getting cut.

It is almost as difficult to

1

Whether or not the Browns game was Fendi Onobun’s last as a Bear, it was a microcosm of his 2013 preseason. His ups and downs in all four exhibition games and practice have mimicked the wildest roller coasters. The erstwhile tight end started slow again against Cleveland but then put together a string of catches. But when an easy soft toss bounced off his hands and became a Browns pick-six, it appeared all the air was out of the balloon.

2

I can’t escape the feeling that backup safety Tom Nelson may have earned a roster spot, but he has been so out of the picture throughout camp it’s hard to project him over Anthony Walters. Still, he had a big night on special teams.

3

I can’t conjure a single major surprise we could be getting with this final cutdown. I guess these Bears are exactly who we thought they were.

envision Brandon Hardin making the football team. Thirdround picks usually get more than one season on injured reserve to prove themselves, but Hardin has proved nothing and shown little promise.

It appeared Michael Ford had wrested the No. 3 running back spot from Armando Allen going into the Browns game, and nothing happened Thursday to change that impression.

With a 64 completion percentage, touchdown pass, 102.8 passer rating and 58 percent success on third-down conversions, Jordan Palmer did enough to claim the third quarterback spot Trestman has said he favors.

The question here is can the Bears be comfortable cutting Palmer and knowing he’ll

probably stay available while they sort out the rest of their roster and possibly be brought back in a few weeks?

I would guess J’Marcus Webb is done as a Bear, while Tony Fiammetta gets to hang around.

Finally there is Fendi Onobun. Targeted seven times, he had four catches for 45 yards, one drop and one bobble that turned into a pick-six for the Browns. It just feels like, as badly as the Bears want it to work, it didn’t.

Just my best guesses, so what do you all think? We’ll have our answers soon.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

PGA TOUR: DEUTSCHE BANK CHAMPIONSHIP

No. 6 S. Carolina stops N. Carolina

Woods says back fine

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

The ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina All-American Jadeveon Clowney looked less than dominant against North Carolina, not that it mattered to him or the sixth-ranked Gamecocks.

Clowney shook off a stomach virus earlier in the week – and some sluggish play during the game – to help South Carolina’s defense hold North Carolina to its lowest point total under coach Larry Fedora in a 27-10 victory to open the season Thursday night.

“Here I am back in front again, ready for all these questions about conditioning,” Clowney said. “Let’s go.”

Coach Steve Spurrier was disappointed at his team’s conditioning on defense, including Clowney.

“Did you watch what I was watching?” he said when asked about Clowney. “No, I don’t have to say it. You write what you see. We’ll try and work on our conditioning for the entire team.”

Indiana 73, Indiana St. 35: At Bloomington, Ind., Indiana’s Nate Sudfeld threw four touchdown passes, and Tevin Coleman rushed for 169 yards and two more TDs in a record-breaking victory over Indiana State.

The Hoosiers (1-0) scored 45 points in the first half, their highest total since the school started keeping records in 1949, and broke the Memorial Stadium scoring record by topping the 69 points Nebraska scored in 1978.

Shakir Bell ran 18 times for 113 yards for Indiana State (0-1) but left late in the first half with a separated right shoulder that could keep him out a couple of weeks.

Minnesota 51, UNLV 23: At Minneapolis, Minnesota’s Marcus Jones returned the second half kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown, and the Gophers pulled away for a victory over UNLV, the 23rd loss in a row on the road for the Rebels.

One negative for the Gophers was running back Donnell Kirkwood, who limped off with an injury to his right ankle after totaling only 30 yards on 11 carries.

Ball St. 51, Illinois St. 28: At Muncie, Ind., Keith Wenning passed for three touchdowns and ran for two, and Ball State rallied from a 21-9 deficit to beat Illinois State in the season opener for both teams.

Willie Snead caught two of Wenning’s touchdown passes and finished with nine catches for 164 yards. Wenning was 24 of 40 for 340 yards.

Illinois State, coming off an FCS quarterfinal appearance finish last season, was led

by Jared Barnett who was 20 for 29 with two touchdowns.

Notre Dame running back George Atkinson III (right) and Amir Carlisle head into the season opener against Temple looking to prove they can be reliable every-down backs.

NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL

Irish tailbacks have something to prove

By TOM COYNE The Associated Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Notre Dame running backs George Atkinson III and Amir Carlisle head into the season opener against Temple looking to prove they can be reliable every-down backs.

They face different challenges. Atkinson needs to show he can be more than a change-of-pace back with breakaway speed, while Carlisle needs to show his body can take a pounding after missing last season with an ankle injury and then missing the end of spring practice with a broken collarbone.

The question heading into the season is: Who will emerge as the primary ball-carrier? The top two rushers from last season, Theo Riddick and Cierre Wood, are gone. That leaves Atkinson, son of former Oakland Raiders great George Atkinson Jr., as the leading returning rusher and listed as the starter for the 14th-ranked Irish when they open the season Saturday against Temple.

Coach Brian Kelly has said Riddick developed into the top back last season because he ran the ball the way the coaches wanted. He said that likely will

be the determining factor again this season.

Atkinson was third on the team last season with 361 yards rushing and averaged an impressive 7.1 yards a carry.

That included a 56-yard touchdown run against Navy and a 55-yard touchdown run against Miami. The knock on the former sprinter, though, is that he runs too upright and he tries to break each carry instead of grinding out a few yards when he needs to.

Atkinson said he’s constantly reminded that he’s got to get his pads lower – most notably in the spring game when linebacker Carlo Calabrese leveled him on a run inside.

“It’s pretty easy (to remember) when you’ve got random people telling you, ‘Keep your pad level down, George.’

And my dad and my coaches harp on it, so I made it an emphasis of my game,” Atkinson said.

Notre Dame fans will finally get a chance to see Carlisle in action after hearing coaches rave about how he looked in the spring before being injured. Carlisle said he was disappointed that he was injured last season and in the spring, but said he isn’t worried that he’s injury-prone.

NORTON, Mass. – On and off the golf course, Tiger Woods didn’t look anything like the player who only four days ago dropped to knees with back pain.

He took full, powerful swings with the driver at the TPC Boston, and he had no trouble gouging shots from the deep rough. He stooped over without hesitation to remove his tee from the ground or retrieve his golf ball from the cup.

Even more telling was the catch.

Sitting behind a table at his news conference Thursday, someone tossed Woods a bottle of water from about 25 feet away. The throw was a little wide. Woods instinctively twisted to his right and reached out his hand to grab it.

“The back has been ... it’s a lot better than obviously on Sunday,” Woods said at the Deutsche Bank Championship. “It was nice to have that extra day of rest. Having the tournament start on Friday certainly helps. And I’ve gotten treatment every day, two to three times a day. And it

feels good.”

His health figures to be a talking point at the Deutsche Bank Championship, at least until he gets to the 10th tee Friday morning to begin the tournament in the ultimate power grouping – Woods, British Open champion Phil Mickelson and Masters champion Adam Scott, who not only are Nos. 1-2-3 in the FedEx Cup playoffs, but 1-2-3 in the world.

Even before he could hit his first tee shot in the pro-am, one of the amateurs asked him about his back.

The question was inevitable. The answer was predictable.

“It’s fine,” Woods said.

The rest of the round was just like any other. There was no indication of injury, plenty of laughs and even the occasional, “Good shot, Mike,” from Woods. He was speaking to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, one of his amateur partners.

Woods said he had planned to play nine holes, and then only chip and putt on the back nine as a precaution, just as he did last week at Liberty National.

“But it felt good, so I continued playing,” he said.

8SPORTS SHORTS Giants backup RB Brown breaks left leg again FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – New York Giants backup running back Andre Brown has broken his left leg for the second straight year.

He limped off the field against the New England Patriots after a 3-yard run late in the first half Thursday night.

He then walked slowly to the locker room, where X-rays showed a broken leg.

Top women make quick work of U.S. Open foes NEW YORK – Breaking a sweat? Barely. Saving on the

electric bill? For sure.

The women headlining the night sessions at the U.S. Open have been getting things over in a hurry.

Including sixth-seeded Caroline Wozniacki’s 6-1, 6-2 victory over Chanelle Scheepers on Thursday, the winners of the four women’s night matches in Arthur Ashe Stadium this week have lost a combined six games.

The winners – No. 1 Serena Williams, No. 2 Victoria Azarenka, No. 15 Sloane Stephens and Wozniacki – have needed 3 hours, 46 minutes to wrap up their drama-free victories.

Cary-Grove at Wheaton North When: 7:30 p.m. Friday About the Trojans: C-G is tied for No. 4 in The Associated Press. The Trojans were Class 6A state runners-up and graduated 17 starters, but still have a lot of talent returning and coming up from the sophomore team.

Larkin at McHenry When: 7:30 p.m. Friday About the Royals: RB Bubba Clemons ran for 559 yards and four touchdowns on 66 carries last season before an injury ended his season. His speed will be a concern for McHenry. Larkin (2-7) lost to McHenry, 60-20, last season.

About the Warriors: DE Luis Hernandez and C-DT Brad Mischke anchor McHenry’s lines. The Warriors would like to two-platoon most players, although Mischke and WB-DB Payton Lykins will be two who see action on offense and defense. The Warriors were 4-5 last season.

Harvard at Rock Falls When: 7 p.m. Friday.

About the Hornets: Harvard returns 13 starters from last year’s 5-4 team that missed the playoffs on points. RB Christian Kramer (970 yards) and WR Justin Nolen (25 receptions) are two of the top returning players.

Marengo at Mendota When: 7 p.m. Friday About the Indians: Marengo will miss graduated workhorse QB-RB John Lesiak, who pretty much was the offense with 1,052 yards rushing last year. The Indians did not win another game after their opener and are eager to show improvement early this season.

About the Trojans: Mendota finished 2-7 after falling to Marengo, 21-7, in the season opener.

CL Central at Grant When: 7:30 p.m. Friday About the Tigers: Central defeated Grant, 30-13, in the second round of the Class 6A playoffs last season for its first second-round postseason win in school history. The Tigers return QB Kyle Lavand to lead the offense and FB-LB Connor Hines, who was one of their best players.

Several other defensive starters also return.

About the Bulldogs: RB Jonathan Wells would have been Grant’s best back, but he did not come out for football. Wells suffered a shoulder injury last season and will focus his efforts on track and field.

Oswego East at Woodstock When: 7:30 p.m. Friday About the Wolves: Oswego East was 4-5 last season and has not made the playoffs in its eight-year existence.

Alden-Hebron at Christian Liberty When: 1 p.m.

About the Giants: A-H will lean on RB Nick Beck (413 yards rushing, 38 receptions) for the offense. Sophomore QB Colten Cashmore takes over the offense for the Giants, who have been to the Class 1A playoffs nine of the last 10 years.

About the Chargers: Christian Liberty has finished 1-8 in each of its three football-playing seasons, but the Chargers narrowed the gaps of their losses last season, so they are making strides.

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: CL SOUTH 2, WOODSTOCK 0

Gators share wealth

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – It didn’t matter which hitter Crystal Lake South junior setter Cassy Sivesind ran the offense through in the Gators’ season opener against Woodstock.

With so many attack options, South kept the Blue Streaks guessing. It started with senior outside hitter Avalon Nero’s three kills to help the Gators jump to a 4-1 lead in Game 1. South didn’t slow down, turning to junior outside hitter Carly Nolan, whose powerful swings resulted in nearly an untouched four kills to give South an 11-2 advantage.

The Gators didn’t let up and cruised to a 25-10, 25-12 Fox Valley Conference crossover win Thursday.

“We have a big offense with a lot of hitters that can do a lot of powerful stuff,” Nolan said.

Four Gators tallied a kill while three – Nero, Nolan and senior middle blocker

Nicole Slimko – finished with at least six kills. Nolan led South (1-0) with nine kills. Gators coach Jorie Fontana said that overall she was “very pleased” by her team’s performance.

“It’s nice to know in that makeup, girls can have an off night,” Fontana said.

“They’re going to learn this season to share that wealth around and it’ll make us a pretty deep team as far as our offense is concerned.”

As one of the favorites to win the FVC Valley, the Gators realize opponents are going to bring their best efforts. They passed their first test but have a quick turnaround, playing in the Plainfield North Invite on Friday and Saturday.

“It feels good, but it’s kind of dangerous at the same time,” Nolan said of being targeted. “It’s a lot of pressure on us, but I think we can handle it.”

Perhaps most impressive about South’s win was its ability to get points from anywhere on the court. No-

lan consistently beat Woodstock’s defense out of the back row, which has been a point of emphasis for Nolan during the club volleyball season, and South proved it can get points from anyone at the net. The Gators didn’t let up at the service line either, posting 10 aces.

The Blue Streaks (0-2) were able to take advantage of a couple of Gators errors, combined with two kills from Amanda Jandernoa, to climb within 17-9 of South in Game 1. But too many unforced errors proved too much for Woodstock to overcome on the road against an experienced South squad.

Blue Streaks coach Meghan Mullaney believes if they can develop their mental game, they can hang with teams like South.

“We need to work on finding a team mentality or team attitude,” Mullaney said.

“We’re such nice girls and we need to find some sort of fight and desire on the court.

That’s the thing we’re lacking.”

Thunder, Gavers start match strong • VOLLEYBALL Continued from page C1 “The first game, we were just too excited,” Velasquez said. “In the second, we had a rally and (the Thunder) weren’t covering the middle, so we tipped there and to the outsides.”

“She was on fire tonight,” Votava said. “Her swings were just so good.”

In the first set, North had the Indians on alert thanks in part to aggressive serving from libero Casey Gavers. Gavers served four aces during a six-point run that put the Thunder ahead, 19-11.

As soon as the Indians started putting together an attack in the second set, Bruns could see his inexperienced team become unsettled.

“I kept telling them in those timeouts to relax, take it easy, and I was trying to make them Lathan Goumas - lgoumas@shawmedia.com laugh,” Bruns said. “They did get Marengo’s Logan Brettschneider blocks the ball Thursday a little [timid].” during a victory over Woodstock North in Woodstock.

Ivy League schools on Lee’s radar • MARIAN Continued from page C1 Lee averaged 16 carries a game for the Hurricanes and finished second in the area in rushing to Cary-Grove fullback Kyle Norberg’s 2,218. Lee attended several one-day camps over the summer and has Yale, Harvard and Holy Cross at the top of his list of NCAA Division I schools. He plans on sending more game videos out after the first games this season.

“With the seniors from last year gone, I have to take a leadership role and set an example of how guys should play,” Lee said. “Give full effort, always working hard on the field. That’s what I

want to do, set an example of what this whole football team and program’s about.”

Lee says he often lifted with Marian’s linemen at the school’s weightroom. He also trained at Davis Speed Center with speed trainer Dave Davis and strength trainer Quint Zambon.

“He’s going to be an even bigger part than he was last year,” offensive tackle Nate Patterson said. “He knows what he’s doing more. The last five games or so he starter getting in a rhythm last year. He’s going to pick up where he left off last year.”

South might see the best back on its schedule in the opener, which Gators coach Chuck Ahsmann realizes will be challenging.

“It’s not like college where you can schedule a I-AA team or like the pros where you get four preseason games,” Ahsmann said.

“This counts, and it’s a big game out of the box. He’s fast and he’s stronger. He’s not a back who’s afraid to run inside.”

Lee’s 28 ACT score and 3.7 GPA make him attractive to the Ivy League schools, while his size and speed likely will grab interest from scholarship schools as well.

New starting quarterback Billy Bahl feels more comfortable having Lee beside him in their backfield.

“He’s so fast, so quick, whenever he gets the ball, he’s a threat,” Bahl said. “He takes the pressure off me.”

The season starts Aug. 30. Sign up today!

NORTHWEST HERALD FOOTBALL GAME OF THE WEEK Marian Central (0-0) at CL South (0-0) 7:15 p.m. Friday McHenryCountySports.com’s Lester Johnson breaks down the game: Marian Central scouting report Offensive firepower: Hurricanes QB Billy Bahl won’t move around like the departed Chris Streveler, but he has experienced targets to pass to. Bahl will hand off to last season’s second-leading rusher in the area, Ephraim Lee (1,323 rushing, 15 TDs). The offensive line is the biggest unknown right now.

How they play will determine the success of the offense.

Defensive pressure: The Hurricanes will miss OLB Chris Daniels and his experience while he sits out with a knee sprain. LB Thomas Lesniewski and company will have to take up the slack against a physical South offense. Perhaps the biggest challenge will be on the line playing against a big Gators front. Stopping the run and creating turnovers will be key.

CL South scouting report Putting points on the board: The Gators have nine players back who started on offense last year, including a huge, experienced offensive line. They will try to pound the ball against the Hurricanes and will be looking for a running back to emerge. RB Chris Ivers should be first in line. Austin Rogers returns at QB and should give South hope for an effective passing game.

Defending the swamp: The Gators have been know for their defense, but this season there are plenty of questions on that side of the ball. This Gators defense needs to forge its own identity and have some players rise up. Playing a Hurricanes offense is no easy task, and it will be imperative to stop those big plays and contain Lee. Getting pressure on Bahl in his first varsity start is a good idea.

Final word It should be a great atmosphere for the Gators at home. On paper, the Gators should win in the trenches, and they have a senior QB, and those are the keys. It’s always hard to bet against a Marian offense, and they will have some new wrinkles.

Marian probably has the edge in team speed.

Ryno returns to Wrigley with no hard feelings NEW YORK – It just looked so odd. And, yes, to this nostalgia-laden visitor’s eyes, so sad, so plaintive.

There, leaning against the railing in the visitors’ dugout at Citi Field on this sunny Thursday, stands Ryne Sandberg, wearing a gray uniform with red trim, a red cap perched on his head. He looks tan and fit, which he is. (He hits fungos and throws batting practice before each game.)

The famous No. 23 is on his back, also in red.

Red, mind you.

Not Cubbie blue.

And therein lies the sadness.

Or, if you will, the poignancy and heartbreak of a native son lost to odd decisions and fate and, as he himself will offer, ‘‘the nature of baseball.’’

Sandberg, 53, a Cub for 15 seasons, a Hall of Fame second baseman – quite possibly the best second baseman who ever played, by the way – is the interim manager of the Phillies.

We all know Sandberg is calm.

It used to go beyond calm when he was a player. When you interviewed Ryno after a game back then, you got the distinct feeling he was actually suffering like a shocked lab mouse with each new – and almost always harmless – question.

That is likely one of the reasons the Cubs never made Sandberg their manager.

Skippers have to talk and explain.

And do it a lot.

Which is the point here. This man who has developed as a person so

much in the 16 years since he quit playing, who paid his bush-league dues like no other Hall of Fame manager-to-be ever has, who found – startling even to him – that he loved coaching the game to lessers with only a fraction of his talent and desire – this man was passed over by the Cubs so often that he finally left the organization and joined the red guys.

Lou Piniella, Mike Quade, Dale Sveum – all were picked by the Cubs to be managers while Sandberg stood there, blue hat in hand, silently shuf-

fling his feet.

But it didn’t happen, even after he spent two years managing in Peoria.

How serious must a Hall of Famer be to go down to the low minors to learn a new craft?

But Sandberg was sincere. He wanted to reinvent himself. He wanted to find out if managing was in his blood.

It was. ‘‘In Peoria, I found out right away, in half a season,’’ he says after the game, as the Phillies pack up and prepare to fly to Chicago, where Sandberg will enter Wrigley for the first time as a non-Cub. ‘‘The teaching part, being with young guys, riding buses ...’’

He was changing as a person, too,

as he found players respected him, wanted to hear him talk. That and the Hall of Fame interviews in 2005, the finding of a good second wife, it all helped. ‘‘It was a growing thing,’’ he says. ‘‘I matured.’’

The last question is this: Is Sandberg bitter about being spurned by the Cubs? ‘‘No,’’ he says. ‘‘All the people who knew me are gone. You hire who you’re comfortable with. That’s baseball. I understand.’’

Even if we don’t.

“Getaway” 1/2 H

STARRING: Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez, Jon Voight, Paul Freeman PLOT: Brent Magna must get behind the wheel and follow the orders of a mysterious man to save his kidnapped wife.

RATED: PG-13 for intense action, violence and mayhem throughout, some rude gestures and language TIME: 1 hour, 30 minutes VERDICT: Liam Neeson has some atoning to do. Not because of his hell-bent pursuit of vengeance in “Taken” and its sequel, but for the lamentable cottage industry of cheap, imitation thrills those films hath wrought. “Taken” was by no means a groundbreaking achievement. But it was sturdy genre moviemaking, aided by the veteran weight of Neeson. “Getaway,” starring Ethan Hawke, is not that. Its chief tension derives from the question many moviegoers will ask, biting their nails: Is this the worst movie I’ve seen this year? Hawke plays former race car driver Brent Manga, a name that even a cartoon character would be ashamed of, and that translates literally as Brent Great. In our first introduction to Brent, he’s motoring furiously through a European capital in a manic car chase. It brings up an intriguing existential question: Is it still a car chase if we don’t yet know the fleer, the pursuer or particularly care about either of them? It’s an early hint of the overriding trouble with “Getaway”: It tries to put the throttle down before turning the key.

We quickly learn Brent’s wife, presumably Mrs. Great, was taken in Sofia, Bulgaria. (The setting is arbitrary, except for its low production costs.) The kidnapper (Jon Voight, mostly only heard and seen as lips on the other end of a phone line) demands Brent drive around Sofia, careening through marketplaces and, under his specific directions, causing various havoc. Brent has little time to deliberate how this will save his wife, and the movie, too, makes scant effort to consider the harm he’s causing.

Miraculously, he doesn’t run over anyone despite high-speed maneuvers that would realistically slaughter bystanders like bugs on a windshield. At some point, Selena Gomez gets in the car, first appearing to be a hoodie-clad carjacker, then revealed as another puppet in the mysterious scheme. Her entry to the film is as smooth as a pop star being shot out of a cannon.

Cribbing from countless adrenaline-fueled concept films, from “Speed” to any Jason Statham movie you like, “Getaway” (not to be confused with the two “The Getaway” films based on Jim Thompson’s novel) tries to ride its thin concept, hoping the fumes of constant engine revving are intoxicating. Director Courtney Solomon splices together footage from cameras inside the car (from which the kidnapper eyes his pawns) and from exterior stuntmen-enabled wide shots. The action (all at nighttime) is messily and crudely filmed. The plot mechanics are often laughable. How, then, to explain the film’s sudden elegance in one (and only one) shot that appears toward the end of the film like a parting of the waters? Suddenly, the frantic cutting and the relentlessly grating score dissipate for a lengthy first-person perspective of a car speeding down a rolling, suburban road, gracefully sliding around traffic at dawn.

It’s a diamond that can’t make up for the other 89 minutes of rough. – The Associated Press

“One Direction: This Is Us” HH

STARRING: Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson PLOT: A look at Niall, Zayn, Liam, Louis, and Harry’s meteoric rise to fame, from their humble hometown beginnings and compet-

ing on the X-Factor, to conquering the world and performing at London’s famed O2 Arena.

RATED: PG for mild language TIME: 1 hour, 32 minutes VERDICT: Morgan Spurlock is one tricky guy. The documentarian best known for the eye-opening, award-winning “Super Size Me” now makes a persuasive case not for the dangers of fast food but for the dizzying virtues of a British boy band. And “One Direction: This Is Us” comes this close to convincing someone who routinely avoids the song “What Makes You Beautiful” at all costs that this quintet of skinny-jeaned heartthrobs has the coolest, cutest, nicest and most talented musicians in all the land. But I’m on to you, Spurlock. There are holes in your story about five lads who don’t appear to ever drink, smoke, fight, curse or partake in romantic dalliances of any kind. At least, not on screen. Of course, the movie is tailored specifically for One Direction’s uncontrollably ecstatic fan base of more than 14 million Twitter followers. That group consists mainly of tween girls, so a PG rating is a must, but Spurlock paints the band members – Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson – as superhuman, even as the guys humbly insist they’re just average blokes. The meteoric rise of One Direction is a compelling tale of chance. “X Factor” producer-turned-puppetmaster Simon Cowell recounts how, in 2010, he threw together five talented individual contestants on a whim. The newly formed group didn’t win the British incarnation of the show that season, but they garnered a massive fan base that propelled them to unfathomable stardom. They sold out their 2013 arena tour in minutes, according to the documentary. From there, the movie blends concert footage with backstage antics and the tomfoolery that accompanies bus rides and hotel stays. There are a few inspired additional interviews, including a neuroscientist who describes why One Direction fans lose control of their decibel level and tear ducts upon seeing the young men. The guys, who ranged in age from 19 to 21 during the filming, are portrayed as merry pranksters.

They pull each other’s pants down on stage and dress in disguises to surprise fans; they make wheelies with golf carts and push each other around in trash bins. To add a bit of emotion, the film hears from the boys’ mothers (the mere sight of these women elicited emotional sighs during an early screening) and follows the five as they take a break from touring to return home. But for the most part, the movie embraces harmless fun, which can be enjoyable for the audience members, whether they’re 1D fans or not. Most of the singers don’t mind their boy-band designation, but they insist they aren’t the typical commodity. For one thing, they can’t dance, although they fauxtry with hilarious results. They also have a little edge, Malik says. They may sport visible tattoos, but watching the boys croon the chart-topping ballad “Little Things” makes that claim one of the more dubious. Some of the guys have made gossip rag headlines for their wild ways, including drunken behavior, but there’s no hint of that here. And the supposedly “all-access” movie conspicuously avoids any mention of love lives, including that of Malik, who announced last week he is engaged to singer Perrie Edwards. Maybe showing those details carries the risk of alienating One Direction’s fans. When the guys sing “I’m in love with you,” the “you” is meant to be each starry-eyed listener.

But the absence of certain truths makes the movie feel more like marketing material for superheroes than a comprehensive documentary about human dimension. If One Direction fans end up having inordinately high standards when it comes to love, Spurlock is at least partly to blame. – The Associated Press

Daughter’s body tattoos are slap in the face to parents Dear Abby: My husband and I have two beautiful, hardworking daughters we brought up as loving, respectful parents. Recently, “Kellie,” 25, got tattoos covering her right arm, leg and ankle as well as her shoulders.

They are visible unless she wears long sleeves and long pants.

This has ruined our relationship because it shows how little she thinks of us as parents, and how disrespectful of our feelings she is to put the tattoos where everyone can see them. She knows we don’t like tattoos because we have mentioned it to her and voiced our disappointment when she got the first

I can’t sleep at night or look at my daughter knowing how little she cares about our feelings. I feel it’s a slap in the face that she doesn’t honor, respect or love us. What do you think? – Beside Myself

In Fort Worth Dear Beside Yourself: I think it is time you toned down the high drama. What’s done is done. If you do not appreciate the person your daughter is BENEATH her skin, you will lose her. And THAT would be

a tragedy.

Dear Deep Sorrow: I agree listening and being supportive is what you can do best for your friend. When the son raises the subject again with his mother, she should tell him she loves him and will see his wishes are carried out, even though losing him will be losing a part of herself.

When you see the mother again, ask if he has an advance directive for medical decisions in place. In it, a person can specify only palliative care is preferred.

Dear Abby: I have a 20-plusyear high school friend who is fighting ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). I have developed a close relationship with him and his parents. His mom has shared some of his comments with me, but he hasn’t shared those thoughts with me himself. The comments are, “I want to die,” or, “I want to go home to God.” I think listening and being a supportive friend is what I can do for him, but I’m at a loss as to what to say to his mother. I don’t know what advice to give her so she can be supportive in her conversations with her dying son.

Dear Abby: Our across-thestreet neighbors feel they need to mow their lawn three (excessive) times a week.

This includes using a weed trimmer and two mowers – a push mower and a large riding mower. Quite often, the husband chooses to mow after 8 p.m. He doesn’t work and could do it during the morning hours if he wants it cooler.

The noise is loud and extremely disruptive, and lasts about an hour because he goes over and over the same

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff constructed. Inside all of your bones, even as you read this, some cells are adding new bone and other cells are eating away at the old bone. Normally, the bone-building process is equal to the bone-destroying process, so that your bones are neither too thick nor too thin. With osteoporosis, bone reconstruction lags behind bone demolition.

Spinal fractures often occur without a traumatic cause like a fall. Even simple acts of daily life, such as bending over, coughing or lifting can collapse a vertebra weakened by osteoporosis.

In many cases, vertebral fractures cause little or no pain. The main clue they have occurred is a gradual shrinkage or stooped posture. One or two compression fractures in the spine may produce only a slight loss of height. But many fractures can profoundly affect appearance, mobility and health.

2014 Mazda CX-5

As the number of fractures increases, the spine becomes progressively more distorted. The upper body is thrust down and forward. The abdominal muscles sag, and the space between the ribs and the pelvis closes. The chest wall becomes cramped; abdominal organs are compressed and pushed forward. Breathing may become difficult and digestion may be impaired.

Since walking erect is difficult, a cane or walker becomes essential.

Given the serious consequences of osteoporosis, you should take steps to prevent it: • Get enough calcium and vitamin D through foods and, if necessary, vitamin supplements.

• Regularly perform weight-bearing exercises.

• Don’t smoke.

• Avoid excess alcohol.

• If you have recently entered menopause, ask your doctor about preventive medications.

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

The Noise In Montana Dear Tired Of The Noise: If you’re on speaking terms with this neighbor, you should ask him if he would please manicure his lawn at a different time because the noise is disruptive. If he is unwilling to cooperate, check with the city to find out if there are any noise ordinances in place. If there are, you can report the noise as a nuisance.

McHenry NOW

Spinal fractures cause loss of height Dear Dr. K: Why do so many people lose height and develop a stooped posture as they get older?

Dear Reader: You may be surprised by the answer. In many older people, loss of height and stooped posture results from fractures of the spine.

Vertebrae (bones of the spine) are like little cubes.

When they break, they are compressed, not snapped.

They get crunched down.

When the bones of your spine lose height, you lose height. The bones of your spine hold you upright.

Those bones (and other bones throughout the body) become weak and susceptible to fractures because of a bone-weakening condition known as osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis is more common in women than men.

It affects all of the spine bones and many other bones. Women who have had a fracture of one spine bone have a greatly increased risk that other spine bones will follow suit.

Although it may seem solid and unchanging, bone is continually demolished and re-

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT

Friday, August 30, 2013 • PlanitNorthwest.com/buzz

The “Avengers” sequel has its villain.

Marvel announced Thursday James Spader will play Ultron in its “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” In the comics, the character is a robot with artificial intelligence.

“Age of Ultron” is the sequel to the 2012 box office hit “The Avengers.” Disney will release it in May 2015. The film will be directed by Joss Whedon and will star Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo and Scarlett Johansson.

The 53-year-old Spader is well known for this TV work including roles on “The Practice,” “Boston Legal” and the upcoming NBC drama “The Blacklist.” His films include 1989’s “Sex, Lies and Videotape” and last year’s “Lincoln.”

Timberlake tweet draws fans to club

Expo offers taste of next-gen games Inside the massive complex on the Las Vegas Strip that houses the glitzy Venetian casino and Sands convention center, amid a soundscape of conflicting noises, thousands of players are mashing buttons while staring intently at flickering screens.

They’re not playing slots or video poker. No, they’re trying their hand at upcoming games such as “Titanfall” and “Ryse.”

This is the GameStop Expo. The world’s largest video game retailer first organized the gathering of its most passionate customers last year during its annual meeting of store managers. While the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles is no longer open to the public, the GameStop Expo offers everyday gamers a chance to preview upcoming titles and hardware.

The expo’s more than 5,000 attendees waited in snaking lines inside a cavernous Sands Expo hall early Wednesday to test-drive Microsoft’s Xbox One and Sony’s PlayStation 4, the next-generation systems due out this November. “Call of Duty: Ghosts,” “Titanfall,” “Ryse: Son of Rome” and “Battlefield 4” were among the most popular games on display.

Along with providing glimpses of upcoming games such as “Batman: Arkham Origins” and “Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag,” the expo also included panels, giveaways, photo booths, costume contests and free chocolate ice cream dispensed from a truck promoting the “South Park: The Stick of Truth” game.

The event was just part of GameStop’s purpose in Vegas.

Beyond the expo hall in meeting rooms at the Venetian casino and Sands convention center, more than 5,000 managers from the company’s nearly 4,500 stores in the U.S. spent three days learning all about how to sell new games and hardware to customers like those at its expo. The retailer boasts about 25 million members in its PowerUp Rewards program.

Hundreds of people flooded the streets outside a New Jersey nightclub after Justin Timberlake took to social media about filming a commercial.

The singer tweeted Wednesday: “Join me & @Target tonight for just one song. Let’s ‘Take Back the Night.’ First 150 get in. See you there!”

Fans jammed the street outside Maxwell’s in Hoboken, and police used loudspeakers to control the crowd. The Jersey Journal reports Timberlake’s wife, Jessica Biel, was spotted near his trailer.

The indie-rock club closed its doors in July after a 35year run.

Eads taking leave from ‘CSI’ The investigators on CBS’s “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” will be without forensic scientist Nick Stokes for a while.

CBS said Wednesday George Eads is taking a leave of absence after appearing in the show’s first three episodes of the upcoming season.

Eads has portrayed Stokes since the series premiere in 2000. It’s unclear when or if he’ll return.

CBS won’t comment on a Hollywood Reporter story that Eads got into an argument with a writer on the show about his character.

Eads’ manager hasn’t returned messages seeking comment.

Mumford & Sons perform at Forest Hills reopening Mumford & Sons were in the tennis spirit at the reopening of the Forest Hills Tennis Stadium in Queens.

The Grammy-winning British rockers performed a soldout concert Wednesday for 16,000 fans at the stadium’s West Side Tennis Club, which hosted the U.S. Open until 1978. Near the end of their set, the foursome played tennis onstage – using a racket at times and a guitar and banjo at others.

They also threw balls to fans in the crowd.

Mumford & Sons played the first concert at the 90-yearold stadium, where acts from Jimi Hendrix to the Beatles to the Rolling Stones performed. It was the first show at the historic venue in more than 20 years.

Jackson’s daughter charged The 20-year-old daughter of country star Alan Jackson has been charged with assault, underage drinking and resisting arrest.

She is accused of striking a police officer and then invoking her father’s name during a traffic stop in Nashville.

Alexandra Jane Jackson was a passenger in a car pulled over by Metro Nashville police Wednesday. According to a police affidavit, Jackson was irate and refused to stay in the car.

Police say Jackson raised her hand to an officer, then struck the officer in the chest.

Mitsubishi Outlander: When good enough isn’t good enough Improvements to 2014 model commendable but still fall behind competition

By WARREN BROWN The Washington Post

T

he 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander SE is an extraordinarily ordinary compact crossover-utility vehicle – much improved over its previous self, but still lacking the chutzpah to make it a first-class competitor.

That isn’t good news for the Outlander’s marketing prospects. But it is good for bargain hunters looking for solid value in a small family hauler.

The problem is the Outlander’s rivals are discernibly better in styling, performance and overall feel. And the rivals are many, including the Honda CR-V,

Mazda CX5, Toyota RAV4, Chevrolet Equinox, Ford Escape, Hyundai Santa Fe, Nissan Rogue and Kia Sorento.

There is nothing horribly wrong with the Outlander – nothing wrong at all, in fact.

See OUTLANDER, page D14

The 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander is a genuinely OK, a safe, reliable and reasonably affordable compact crossover-utility vehicle. The 2014 Outlander SE, also equipped with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine (166 horsepower, 162 pound-feet of torque) starts at $23,795.

Nissan’s 2013 powerplant in the Armada sport utility vehicle is a 5.7-liter, 317-horsepower V-8 gasoline engine mated to a five-speed shiftable automatic transmission. There is a two-speed transfer case.

Nissan’s Armada impresses REVIEWS Jerry Kuyper It may not acquire the renown of the defeat of the Spanish Armada by a fleet of Englishmen in 1588, but the full-size Nissan Armada sport utility vehicle is an impressive sight in 2013.

It is huge, almost mammoth in size for a vehicle designed for family use. This four-wheeldrive SUV seats eight adults in three rows and does so comfortably. Leg room in the third row is equivalent to that of the first row in many sedans.

Comfort is expected as the electronic double wishbone suspension system front and rear also includes self-leveling technology for the rear components.

The size extends to head and shoulder room, dashboard, seating surfaces, 20-inch wheels, P275 tires, running boards and, lest one forget, the 5.7-liter, 317-horsepower, dual overhead cam V-8 engine, which is capable of towing a 9,000-pound trailer.

The towing capacity is dictated by several factors, including whether the Armada is two- or four-wheel drive and has the proper towing package, which the $56,180 Platinum model in for testing did.

Armadas are priced from $36,890, but all of them (SV, SL, Platinum) share the same engine mated to a five-speed shiftable transmission with a tow and haul mode, plus a two-speed transfer case.

Since economy is not part of the Armada package, it has a 28-gallon fuel tank. During a test week with the Platinum model, regular gasoline fuel usage averaged 14.4 miles per gallon, which

Access to the third row is easy in the Nissan Armada as each of the split portions of the second row automatically flip forward after being released by a pull strap near the headrests. is about the combined city and country driving averaged by the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA’s official figures are 18 to 19 mpg highway and 12 to 14 city.

If economy is not a virtue for a vehicle weighing in excess of 5,000 pounds, other factors are.

The expansive roominess in three rows means the Armada can provide lots of comfort to a family of five on an extended trip.

Standard equipment on the tested Armada included a rear seat entertainment system (screens embedded on the ob-

verse side of front seat headrests, wireless headphones). The split and fold third row flattens and is raised by power via interior side controls. In addition to a third row flattened for storage, more cargo space is provided by overhead aluminum roof rails and cross bars. The rails with a chrome finish have metal tiedowns integrated into them.

Under the carpeted floor is a small storage area, too. The fullsize spare is stored outside and underneath the cargo areas.

Standard on the Platinum model is a navigation system with 7-inch color screen and USB

connectivity, an 11-speaker Bose sound system for AM/FM/satellite radio, CD and MP3 players, Bluetooth and audio streaming via Bluetooth. Wood, metal and leather trim is standard.

Power windows are express up and down in front, and the quarter glass in the rear, which flip out, also are powered. Other power features include heated exterior mirrors, heated and cooled front seats and tilt and slide moonroof. The third row operates up and down by power, and the rear liftgate opens and closes by pressing a control on the key fob or by lightly pulling

on the liftgate handle. There is a memory setting for driver’s seat, sideview mirrors and the pedals.

The steering wheel is heated.

Air conditioning controls are in front and the rear. The middle row also has heated seats. Ten cupholders are in addition to four bottle holders.

Airbags are in front, sides and overhead. Other safety mechanicals include traction and stability controls, fourwheel antilock braking system and a display for individual tire pressure.

Warranty coverage is three years or 36,000 miles and five years or 60,000 miles on the powertrain.

To date, the Nissan Armada has not conquered all the hearts and minds of large SUV buyers in the United States as sales in 2012 totaled 18,072 and 7,381 through the first six months of 2013. Comparable vehicles from other manufacturers posted their share of sales: Toyota’s Sequoia, 13,151 and 6,693; The General Motors GMC’s Yukon XL, 23,427 and 14,704; Chevrolet Suburban, 8,116 and 21,663; Ford Expedition, 38,062 and 17,741.

Armada totals compare more favorably with Cadillac’s Escalade numbers of 12,615 in 2012 and 5,677 through June of 2013, as well as the Lexus GX which posted sales of 11,039 in 2012 and 4,415 through June. The QX56, a stablemate from Nissan’s Infiniti luxury division, posted numbers of 15,310 and 5,967 respectively.

Cadillac and Lexus represent the luxury divisions of General Motors and Toyota.

Although officially not a product of a luxury division, the Platinum model of the Armada qualifies as a luxury SUV. For information, visit www.nissanusa.com.

Bruce Benedict/ Jaguar

The 2014 Jaguar F-Type V8S reaches 60 mph in 4.2 seconds.

F-Type roars over mountain

By JASON H. HARPER Bloomberg News Jaguar’s last real sports car, the E- Type, was released in 1961. A two-door, two-seat coupe and convertible, it is often considered the sexiest car ever made. Fantasize about a Jag, and it’s that lowslung hood and high hips that are sizzling in your mind.

The follow-up, the twodoor, two-seat F-Type, has just gone on sale, a delay bordering on intransigence. It was high time for an E-Type for this era.

The new F-Type roadster isn’t sex on wheels, but it is a rip-roaring sports car.

The company knows it, too, setting up a test drive for auto journalists on a nasty racetrack with devastating altitude drops and brutish bends. Now that’s confidence.

On my, say, 15th lap, I’d memorized the blind crests and hard braking points and

learned to trust that the car was going to get me through them. Pushing the $92,000 F-Type hard, brake pads burning acrid smoke, I’d come to believe.

This rear-wheeled wild thing winds up to 100 miles per hour in a finger-snap.

Flick your eyes to the digital speedometer and there’s a three-digit number flashing back at you – climbing (105), climbing (110), climbing (115).

On the racetrack, speed is only limited by good sense.

That super propellant is the result of the 5.0-liter, supercharged V-8, an engine which gives truth to the name “powerplant.” Just shy of 500 horsepower, it’s a raging, howling thing lodged in the nose. A steady stream of firecrackers sound off in the four tailpipes when you let up the accelerator suddenly, excess gas burning violently off.

Jaguar engineers wanted

to give the F-Type personality, and the engine and exhaust notes are the most successful embodiments of that. This is a bad boy, just shy of rude, but certainly not mean.

The V-8 model should be nose heavy, but the chassis is sweetly tuned, the Pirelli tires grippy, and the power delivery potent but not ridiculous. Slipping through tight, tricky turns, the F-Type goes onto the balls of its feet, lighter than you’d expect, very nearly balletic.

The F-Type could have been a British version of the Mercedes-Benz SL convertible, a rich man’s toy which isn’t meant to be played with very hard. To its greatest credit, it is far, far better than that. Its agility is equally welcome on fast mountain roads.

This is not Jaguar’s XJ executive sedan, so the ride doesn’t handle you with kid

gloves over rough pavement.

It is comfortable enough around town, however, and the passing power on the highway is incredible. Take that, lane-hogging semitruck!

Jaguar insists that the F-Type is competing with the Porsche 911, a car which is celebrating its 50th year and never stopped its evolutionary process. Reality check: This is wishful thinking on Jag’s part. The 911 is a singular vehicle, having proved itself over decades of sportscar racing, an achievement not likely to be repeated by another car model.

One wonders what the E-Type would have looked and driven like if it had continued its own evolutionary process over an additional 40 years. While the F-Type is in excellent shape for a brand-new model, I’d still bet on driving a 911 Carrera S around that same track

faster.

Pricewise, the company is making a smart move: The V-8 starts at $92,000. As driven with many options, mine came to $104,270. By comparison a 400-hp 911 S convertible without a single option starts around $111,000.

Jaguar also offers two V-6 models, the 340-hp F-Type ($69,000) and the supercharged 380-hp F-Type S ($81,000). The company says the U.S. will be the car’s biggest market, and with the V-8 accounting for roughly half of initial sales.

The V-6 S, which I also drove, sounds quite good, still is quite fast, but I can say unequivocally that the V-8 is the model you’ll most desire.

One can’t help but wish it had even half the outrageous charisma of the E-Type. I’ve listened to Jaguar designers, including Jag’s justly revered design director, Ian Callum,

talk about its strong lines and profile. Yet there’s no thunderclap, none of the visual bombast of the iconic E-Type.

The F-Type is handsome and playful, but ultimately it looks like a lot of other modern cars. It lacks that low-slung, visually arresting athleticism that bowls you over.

Other disappointments: The interior is playful, outfitted with toggle switches and clever lighting, but at a cost easily brushing $100,000, it isn’t sumptuous. Also, there is no option for a manual transmission. This is a car that deserves one.

Flowing over a mountain pass, wind ripping through my hair, and trying to keep to a legal speed, I can forgive much of that. The F-Type is, without question, a very happy addition to the world’s selection of choice, joyful cars.

It’s about time.

Cadillac CTS-V Wagon is rare, getting rarer

By ANN M. JOB For The Associated Press The 2013 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon – the only V-8-powered station wagon factory built in the United States – is a rare blend of awesome acceleration, luxury accoutrements, sporty handling and station-wagon functionality.

It’s like having the cargo room of a compact sport utility vehicle at the back of a sporty luxury car – except the luxury car also has a great exhaust note and a supercharged V-8 that generates 556 horsepower.

This combination isn’t the only thing that makes the CTS-V Wagon rare.

Only about 1,200 have been sold since the wagon debuted for the 2011 model year. And with the introduction of the next-generation CTS later this year, Cadillac will stop building the wagon version of its mid-size CTS. At that point, U.S. car buyers who want a V-8-powered station wagon – and admittedly, there aren’t many – will have only the Mercedes-Benz E-Class wagon to meet their needs.

To be sure, the CTS-V Wagon can be costly to own.

Because of its gasoline mileage – averaging just 14 miles per gallon in combined city/highway travel – the CTS-V Wagon incurs a federal gas guzzler tax of $1,300 or $2,600 at the time of the car’s purchase. The tax differs, based on manual or automatic transmission.

The federal government’s fuel economy ratings of only 12 mpg in city driving and 18 mpg on the highway for the 2013 CTS-V Wagon make it the worst gas guzzler

The 2013 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon has a great exhaust note and a supercharged V-8 that generates 556 horsepower. It is a rare blend of awesome acceleration, luxury accoutrements, sporty handling and station-wagon functionality. among station wagons sold here. Plus, pricier premium gasoline, rather than regular, is required for the 18-gallon tank for the 6.2-liter V-8.

Then there’s the manufacturer’s suggested retail price, including destination charge: $65,410 for the base, 2013 CTS-V Wagon with manual transmission. The lowest starting retail price for a 2013 CTS-V Wagon with a sixspeed automatic is $66,710.

The prices compare to the $40,100 MSRP, including destination charge, of the base, 2013 CTS Wagon with no “V’’ and with 270-horsepower, direct-injection V-6 mated to an automatic transmission.

A mid-level, 2013 CTS Wagon with 318-horsepower V-6

starts at $45,085.

The starting retail price for a 2014 Mercedes E63 AMG Wagon with 577-horsepower, twin-turbo V-8 is more than $92,000.

The CTS-V Wagon is offered only in rear-wheel drive, not with all-wheel drive. But it comes with standard features that are often extras on other family- and cargo-hauling vehicles.

For example, the power rear liftgate is standard as are 19-inch wheels, Bose surround sound, rear park assist, rearview camera, rain-sensing wipers, navigation system and leather-trimmed seats with sueded fabric inserts.

A screen that displays,

among other things, the navigation system map rises from the top of the center of the dashboard when in use and recedes out of sight into the dashboard when not in use.

The 16-foot-long car appeared to be average size for a sedan. In fact, the wagon had just 0.7 inch more bumperto-bumper length than the mid-size CTS sedan. The wagon back end was integrated smartly into the design.

The test, all-black CTS-V Wagon looked both sleek and sinister; there was no ignoring the dealer-installed black chrome grille and its large air intake that feeds the big, supercharged V-8.

Nor could anyone fail to hear the deep, throaty V-8.

One press on the accelerator pedal and the driver and passengers were pushed forcefully back into their seats. Power kept coming – strong and steady – and it made no difference if this wagon was on a flat straightaway or heading uphill.

Everyone felt exhilarated – and some were a little wary – of all the power available and how quickly the peak torque of 551 foot-pounds comes to bear at 3,800 rpm.

It certainly was challenging to stay within speed limits.

The CTS-V Wagon moved purposefully and with tight body control on curves and in back-and-forth slalom maneuvers. During an emergency

change of lanes to avoid an obstacle, the CTS-V Wagon moved confidently like a slot car from one lane to the other and back again.

The CTS-V Wagon has Cadillac’s Magnetic Ride Control technology that helps manage button-down handling without a punishing ride.

Braking was impressive, too. The test car had optional yellow-colored Brembo brake calipers that were visible at the wheels. These brakes were sizable – 15 inches in front and nearly 15 inches in the back – and provided quick slowdowns and stops. Best of all, the brake pedal had good, linear progression and did not feel overly grabby.

Some road noise from the 19-inch, performance tires came into the interior. But sounds from nearby vehicles were muted, and wind noise was never noticed.

With a car-like height of 4.8 feet, the CTS-V Wagon doesn’t afford views above traffic.

Front seats, in particular, can be easily adjustable to make them comfortable for 5-foot-4 riders all the way up to 6-foot-plus.

The back seat, whose seatbacks can fold flat to provide nearly as much cargo space at the rear as a Nissan Murano, has 36.1 inches of legroom, or 0.3 inch more than the E-Class Wagon.

Standard safety features on the CTS-V Wagon include traction control, electronic stability control, antilock brakes and front, side and curtain air bags.

The CTS-V Wagon earned five out of five stars in side crash tests by the federal government.

’14 Mitsubishi Outlander SE has a starting price of $23,795 • OUTLANDER Continued from page D1 Exterior styling, completely redone for 2014 in the service of aerodynamic efficiency, is attractive enough.

Interior redesign, aided by improved materials, is commendable – with the notable exception of flimsy third-row seats that should be discarded altogether.

But “nothing horribly wrong” is not good enough to set you apart in an arena where so many rivals are doing things exceptionally right.

For example, unless perhaps price is a big factor, it is difficult for me to imagine someone walking away from an excitingly styled 2014 model such as the Chevrolet Equinox, Honda CR-V or Ford Escape and toward a new Mitsubishi Outlander.

And if price is the issue, the smartly designed Kia Sorento LX, with a 2.4-liter in-line four-cylinder gasoline engine (191 horsepower, 181 pound-feet of torque) and an arguably better looking interior, would give the new Outlander a run for the money.

The 2014 Sorento LX starts at $24,100. At this writing, the 2014 Outlander SE, also equipped with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine (166 horsepower, 162 poundfeet of torque), starts at $23,795.

Both vehicles run quite well on regular gasoline.

Both offer what nowadays

passes for reasonably decent fuel economy – about 25 miles per gallon in the city and 31 on the highway for the Outlander SE and 20 city and 26 highway for the Sorento LX. But the proof is in the driving. And the Sorento, with its more powerful four-cylinder engine and six-speed automatic transmission, simply feels better than the Outlander SE with its more modest four-banger linked to a continuously variable automatic transmission that feels a bit like a wind-up toy.

The new Outlander appears to suffer from what might be called “conglomeritis” – a condition affecting many multinational conglomerates trying to do too many things.

A cursory look at the company’s international website tells the story. Tokyo-based Mitsubishi is into everything – consumer electronics, commercial electrical equipment, major industrial equipment, real estate, elderly care, other medical services, temporary employment services and banking and other financial services. And it also makes cars and trucks.

The latter suffer from a stepchild effect evident in the Outlander SE’s presentation.

The vehicle is presentable enough. But if you’ve driven any of its major rivals, you know that something is missing.

Consider Chevrolet.

There was a time, a decade or so ago, when the largest division of General Motors

was the laughingstock of the automotive world. That was back when GM was trying to be everything to everybody, everything except a premium car company.

Even the first-generation Outlander, introduced in Japan in 2001 as the Mitsubishi Airtrek, outclassed similar offerings from GM, such as the Chevrolet Equinox, which was introduced three years later.

But Chevrolet did something that Mitsubishi has yet to do. It decided it wanted to be a car company. It decided it wanted to be known for the quality and imagination of its work on cars and trucks.

The proof of that turnabout in corporate thinking is in GM’s latest slate of products – the new Chevrolet Impala, Chevrolet Cruze, Chevrolet Silverado pickup and, for the purposes of this column, the very attractive Chevrolet Equinox crossover-utility vehicle.

Someone at Mitsubishi should take a close look at what has happened and what is happening at GM and Chevrolet. They should pay close attention to what changes occur when a car company decides that it is, after all, a car company.

Maybe, then, Mitsubishi will give us an Outlander that is a first-class example, instead of one that is overjoyed at the prospect of earning a C-plus and passing to the next grade.

A C-plus is OK. But really Mitsubishi, is “OK” the best you can do?

Fuel injector causes trouble in Toyota RAV4 I have a 2002 Toyota RAV4 with an engine that misfires. The first time this happened, I was driving along on the highway when the check engine light turned on and the engine started to hiccup. Then the check engine light started flashing. When I released the gas pedal, the light stopped flashing but remained on. As I accelerated, the light was steady, but if I accelerated hard, the light flashed and the engine hiccupped.

The next day I went to a repair shop, but the engine was running fine and the check engine light was off. A mechanic did some tests and found code 301. He replaced the spark plugs and a coil on one of the cylinders. The engine seemed to run better, but a week later the hiccup and light problem returned.

I returned to the repair shop.

The mechanic retrieved the same code. Now he wants to replace the injectors, but he is not sure if the injectors are the cause of the trouble. Does this sound right to you? – B.R., email No. It’s not time to replace all of the injectors. Only one cylinder is acting up. If the trouble code indicated trouble in all cylinders, it might be caused by faulty injectors at all of the cylinders.

Because the condition appears intermittently, it might be time to do some experimentation. Perhaps your technician might consider swapping the injectors in cylinders one and three. By doing this, he will be able to determine if the injector in cylinder one affects the performance of cylinder three. If so, the hiccup as you describe will transfer from cylinder one to cylinder three, and cylinder one will no longer exhibit the symptoms.

If this turns out to be true,

DR. GIZMO Phil Arendt only one injector will need replacement.

The check engine light turns on in my 2007 Lexus ES350.

When it turns on, the transmission does not shift properly.

Sometimes it takes forever for it to shift into the next gear even if I’m not accelerating hard.

I went to a repair shop, where tests found a code for a problem in a temperature sensor inside the transmission.

The mechanic said it would be wise to replace the transmission because the car has nearly 155,000 miles. I did not have him do any work.

My car is in great shape. I don’t have a problem fixing it as long as the repair is needed.

Is it necessary to replace or overhaul the transmission at this mileage? – R.P., email No. Actually the temperature sensor is a serviceable part that does not require major disassembly of the transmission. As long as nothing deep inside the unit has broken or is excessively worn, there is no need to overhaul or replace it.

I have a 2002 Dodge Durango that has no brake lights. I’m pretty handy when it comes to repairing our family cars, but this one has me stumped.

The brake lights quit working.

I determined the brake light switch failed. I installed a new switch from my dealer, and now the engine won’t crank to start, the brake lights still do not work and only the turn signal on the left side works. The lights on the right side don’t work at all, and no indicators lights turn on in the instrument panel.

The brake light switch is easy to replace. I’ve looked for loose plugs, blown fuses, bad grounds, broken wires and I have tried another brake light switch.

Power goes in and out of the switch, but now I have multiple problems that were not there before. Can you help?

– B.W., email The fact that more trouble developed after replacing the switch indicates perhaps the battery was not disconnect before the task of replacing the switch. It’s an important step that helps prevent trouble like this. It’s possible there was a short circuit that damaged other circuits.

Since the engine does not crank, it’s possible the range sensor in the transmission has failed. It’s also possible something failed in the instrument cluster. At this juncture, it might be wise to have the vehicle towed to a well-equipped shop where an experienced technician can utilize test equipment to determine what has failed.

When using the air conditioner in my 2005 Mini Cooper S, I hear a groaning noise. I took the car to my repair shop. They could not find anything wrong with the air conditioning.

Other than the noise, the air conditioner works fine. I hear it mostly when stopped at a light or in stop and go traffic. It’s annoying. Do you have any idea what might cause the sound?

– G.M., email Sometimes a noise such as this is caused by failed motor mounts. When the engine is not in proper alignment within the engine cradle hoses, lines and other components also are not in proper position. This causes vibrations from accessories such as the air conditioning compressor to transmit into the cabin.

Ask your favorite technician to consider a check of the mounts. It’s possible an out of alignment mount needs adjustment. Also, replacement of a failed mount might be the cure.

The airbag light in my 1997 Miata is on. Last summer, the battery became weak and eventually failed. In its weakened state, I delivered the car for body work to the passenger side fender. It was planned that the work would be done while I was on vacation, but it wasn’t started because the power antenna mast was broken and the motor had burned out. When I picked up the car, the airbag light was on.

A shop representative said the light was due to battery failure. He said they had tried unsuccessfully to recharge it. He said I should get a new battery, and if the light didn’t go out after a month to bring the car to their mechanical department.

The mechanical department later said a simple reset was not possible and that compensable work was required. I stored the car over the winter and trickle-charged the new battery before reinstalling it. The light reappeared, and it needs fixing because we need to know the airbag is working to maintain the car’s resale value. Otherwise the car is in A-1 condition.

What must be done to extinguish the light, and should the repair shop be responsible at its expense to do the repair? – A. R., West St. Paul, Minn.

The fact the air bag light illuminated while the car was at the body repair shop does not mean they did something wrong. However, if they pinched a wire at the right fender, it is their responsibility to cure the trouble at no cost to you. But the majority of components are in the cock-

pit of your MX-5.

Sensors, switches and modules for the air bag system are in the interior and not on the right fender. They did not do any repairs to the interior.

Also, replacing the power antenna does not require any interior cabin disassembly as the power antenna is situated in the trunk.

It might be wise to check fuses in the fuse box under the hood. Also, it is time for a technician to perform diagnostic tests on the air bag system. If the fuses are OK, more than likely a clock spring under the steering wheel is broken or a module has failed.

I’m an industrial engineer.

How is it possible for an auto technician, especially at an independent shop, to know everything about every car they repair? – M.C.P., email They don’t, but they do know a great deal. Obviously, computers control numerous devices from infotainment systems to when the engine fuel mixture needs a tweak or transmission needs to shift into the next gear or the power door locks lock and unlock. The information that rushes through computers is astounding with thousands of changes a second. A technician uses a computer to monitor systems, components, voltage and patterns on a scope to determine if a device or system is operating as designed and within specifications in his diagnostic tools and computer systems in a vehicle.

A big challenge is they don’t have vehicle-specific information. When a vehicle comes to the end of a factory assembly line, a heavy duty computer loads vehicle-specific software into the vehicle.

It’s different for every vehicle.

A minor cosmetic change to a vehicle results in changes to vehicle software programs.

Minor changes, for example in the style of a grille, can change the operation of the engine cooling system fan.

The factory installed software makes a change to accommodate the grille so the engine cooling fan cools within certain criteria. This could mean a difference of five revolutions of the fan a minute.

Technicians even at a dealership have limited access to factory software data and information. Often, this results in questions. A vehicle may have a problem or may not.

Also, the lack of knowledge due to differences in their tool software and vehicle factory installed software may find a system is operating within their computer scan tool software specifications but not within the factory installed vehicle specific software, and the cause of an issue may not be diagnosed.

Someday this might change, but for right now, a technician is limited to the equipment and software that is available to him or her.

Changes are constant and frequent, more often than Adobe and Microsoft change the software in your home and work computers. It’s important for a technician to keep all of his equipment up-to-date with software updates or even new equipment.

Tollway lists local scofflaws

By BRETT ROWLAND browland@shawmedia.com RICHMOND – Striking back at drivers who routinely fail to pay up, the Illinois Tollway created a virtual wall of shame this week on which it outed the worst offenders, including six McHenry County companies.

The state agency posted the names of 157 companies on its website, along with the amount of money it says each owes.

The local companies included an emergency cleaning company, a trucking business, and a landscaping contractor. Combined, the six owed the state more than $41,000.

Several had gone out of business.

To make the list, a person or company has to have racked up more than $1,000 in unpaid tolls and fines.

Although only companies are listed

currently, individual drivers also could find their names on the list.

In the top spot was Landa Transport, a Frankfort-based trucking company that is on the hook for nearly $215,000, the tollway says.

The company didn’t respond to a phone message seeking comment.

Landscape Concepts Construction of Richmond was No. 65 on the list, with $13,174 outstanding. A women who answered a phone number listed for the company Thursday said it was no longer in business.

Skyway Lines Inc. of Lake in the Hills was ranked No. 73, with fines of $10,693. A working number for the company couldn’t be found Thursday.

At No. 87 was United Emergency Services Inc. of McHenry, with fines of $7,644. A phone number listed for the company was no longer

in service.

At No. 118 was AA Equipment Rental of Algonquin. It had $4,203 in fines, according to the state. A number listed for the company would not accept incoming calls.

Specialty Contractors of Lake in the Hills was listed at No. 120, with fines of $3,940. President John O’Hara said he disputed the toll violations in court and settled the matter in mid-August. Because he thought it had been resolved, O’Hara said he was disappointed – but not surprised – to see his commercial and electrical construction business listed as a “Super Scofflaw.”

“With government agencies, there is such a high level of inefficiency that I’m not surprised,” he said. “You have no voice with the tollway. The only way to dispute a violation is to go to litigation.”

The company’s vehicles have I-PASS transponders on them linked to a company credit card, O’Hara said. He said the toll violations accounted for a small fraction of the total amount the state said the company owed. Fines inflated the amount, he said.

American Auto Sales Inc. of Algonquin was No. 142 with fines of $1,911. A phone number listed for the company had been disconnected.

“If seeing your company’s name on this list becomes an incentive for you to pick up the phone and call us to settle your debt, then we’ve achieved our goal,” said the tollway’s executive director, Kristi Lafleur.

The new webpage was sanctioned by a law Gov. Pat Quinn signed this week.

8BUSINESS ROUNDUP U.S. banks earn record $42.2B in 2nd quarter

AP file photo

Jeff Caldwell, 29, a chassis assembly line supervisor, checks a vehicle on the assembly line at the Chrysler Jefferson North Assembly plant in Detroit. The U.S. economy grew at a 2.5 percent annual rate from April through June, much faster than previously estimated, according to data released Thursday by the Commerce Department.

‘Gathering steam’ U.S. economy grew at 2.5 percent rate in spring

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The U.S. economy grew at a 2.5 percent annual rate from April through June, much faster than previously estimated. The steep revision was largely because U.S. companies exported more goods and imports declined.

The Commerce Department said second-quarter growth was sharply higher than the initial 1.7 percent rate it reported last month. And the growth this spring was more than double the 1.1 percent rate from January through March.

The improvement in the trade deficit helped offset a weaker government spending.

Economists expect growth will stay at an annual rate of around 2.5 percent in the second half of the year, helped by steady job gains and less drag from federal spending cuts. Still, some say higher interest rates might restrain the economy’s expansion in the second half.

Rates could rise even further if the

Federal Reserve decides to reduce its $85 billion a month in bond purchases at its September meeting. The Fed will consider the stronger secondquarter growth when making a decision next month. The bond purchases have helped keep long-term borrowing rates low.

Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said stronger growth in the second quarter “should give Fed officials more confidence that the recovery is gathering steam as the fiscal drag begins to fade.”

He said the Fed is now more likely to slow the bond purchases in September, although that decision depends heavily on the August employment report. The government will release the employment report next week.

Ashworth forecast that growth in the current July-September quarter was likely to come in around 2.5 percent as well with the potential for even stronger growth in the OctoberDecember quarter. But he said the forecast assumes the Obama administration and Congress reach a deal to

fund the government before it hits its $16.7 trillion borrowing limit cap in mid-October.

The government’s estimates of economic expansion measure changes in the gross domestic product, the broadest gauge of the economy.

GDP measures the output of all goods and services produced in the United States.

The revision was made after the trade deficit narrowed sharply in June – information that wasn’t available to government analysts produced their first estimate for second-quarter growth. The additional information left trade neutral in the second quarter, instead of subtracting 0.8 percentage points from growth.

Government spending shrank an annual rate of 0.9 percent in the second quarter, much worse than the 0.4 percent drop initially estimated.

Spending by the federal government shrank at a 1.6 percent annual rate.

State and local governments cut at a 0.5 percent rate.

Fast-food workers stage largest protests yet

By CANDICE CHOI and SAM HANANEL The Associated Press NEW YORK – Fast-food workers in dozens of U.S. cities walked off the job Thursday in their largest round of protests yet, saying they cannot get by on what they earn and must have higher wages.

Similar protests organized by unions and community groups over the past several months have drawn attention to fastfood “McJobs,” known for

low pay and limited prospects.

Thursday’s effort to stage a nationwide day of protest by thousands of workers reached about 60 cities including New York, Chicago and Detroit, organizers said.

But the turnout varied significantly, with some targeted restaurants operating relatively normally and others temporarily shutting down because they had too few employees.

Ryan Carter, a 29-yearold who bought a $1 cup of

coffee at a New York McDonald’s that was targeted by protesters, said he “absolutely” supported the demand for higher wages.

“They work harder than the billionaires in this city,” he said. But Carter said he didn’t plan to stop his regular trips to McDonald’s.

Advocates for a higher minimum wage note that jobs in low-wage industries have led the economic recovery. That makes it crucial those jobs pay enough for workers who support

families.

The restaurant industry says it already operates on thin margins and insists sharply higher wages would lead to steeper prices for customers and fewer opportunities for job seekers.

In New York, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn joined about 300 to 400 workers and supporters Thursday in a march before the group flooded into a McDonald’s near the Empire State Building.

See PROTESTS, page E2

WASHINGTON – U.S. banks earned more from April through June than during any quarter on record, aided by a steep drop in losses from bad loans.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. says the banking industry earned $42.2 billion in the second quarter, up 23 percent from the second quarter of 2012. About 54 percent of U.S. banks reported improved earnings from a year earlier.

Banks’ losses on loans tumbled 30.7 percent from a year earlier to $14.2 billion, the lowest in six years. And bank lending increased 1 percent from the first quarter. Greater lending helps boost consumer and business spending, leading to more jobs and faster economic growth.

Still, the report shows that the largest banks continue to drive the industry’s profits while smaller institutions have struggled. Banks with assets exceeding $10 billion make up only 1.5 percent of U.S. banks.

Yet they accounted for about 82 percent of the industry’s earnings in the April-June quarter.

Those banks include Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo & Co. Most have recovered with help from federal bailout money and record-low borrowing rates.

Overall, FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg said the second-quarter results “show a continuation of the recovery in the banking industry.”

Judge likely to approve AMR bankruptcy exit NEW YORK – A federal judge signaled Thursday that he is leaning toward approving American Airlines’ emergence from bankruptcy protection but wanted more time to reflect.

“I’m finding the arguments in favor of confirmation fairly persuasive,” Judge Sean H. Lane said from the bench. He could sign off on American’s restructuring plan at the next hearing Sept. 12 or in a written decision prior.

Such a decision would only leave one obstacle – although a big one – to American’s proposed merger with US Airways: an antitrust lawsuit filed by the government earlier this month.

That lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Justice, six states and the District of Columbia argues that combining American and US Airways would leave four airlines controlling more than 80 percent of U.S. air traffic and drive up prices.

That case is at least two months away from being resolved, unless the airlines and government reach an outof-court settlement first.

Unemployment aid applications decline

• SCOFFLAWS Continued from page E1 Many of those named are construction and transportation companies. There also is a company that services elevators and one that cleans diamonds.

Collectively, they owe $3.7 million, the agency said.

A similar approach has been tried in other states. The North Texas Tollway Authority, for example, has an online list of more than 78,000 of its top toll violators. It gives their names, hometowns and what they owe. At the top of the list is a woman from the northeast Dallas suburb of Sachse who the agency says owes $153,046.47.

In Illinois, the agency depends on tolls to maintain its 286 miles of interstate roadways in a dozen northern counties.

Officials initially had pledged to turn the roads into freeways once the bonds used to build the original 187 miles were paid off.

“The promise was well-intentioned, but shortsighted,” the agency says on its website.

Protesters display placards outside a Burger King fast-food restaurant in Boston. The protest was one of several planned in Boston on Thursday in what organizers say are similar walkouts planned in dozens of cities to push chains such as McDonald’s, Taco Bell and Wendy’s to pay workers more.

Continued from page E1

Continued from page E1 Two key areas of the economy – housing and business investment – remained strong in the revision to second-quarter growth. Housing construction grew at an annual rate of 12.9 percent, the fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth.

Business investment on structures was revised up to at 16.1 percent rate, although spending on equipment was revised a bit lower.

Consumer spending, which accounts for 70 percent of economic activity, grew by a 1.8 percent rate in the second quarter. That’s unchanged from the initial estimate but down from a 2.3 percent growth rate in the first quarter.

Many economists said a key signal of the economy’s health in the second half of 2013 will come from Friday’s report on consumer spending in July.

Consumer spending held up in June.

Shortly after the demonstration, however, the restaurant seemed to be operating normally, and a few customers said they hadn’t heard of the movement. The same was true at a McDonald’s a few blocks away.

The lack of public awareness illustrates the challenge workers face in building wider support.

Participating workers, who are asking for $15 an hour and the right to unionize without interference from employers, still represent a tiny fraction of the industry.

The federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, which works out to about $15,000 a year for full-time employees.

The quest for better pay comes as the White House, some members of Congress and economists seek to raise the federal minimum

wage. But most proposals are for a more modest increase, with President Barack Obama suggesting $9 an hour.

The Service Employees International Union, which represents more than 2 million workers in health care, janitorial and other industries, has been providing financial support and training for local organizers in the fast-food strikes around the country.

Organizers said walkouts were planned Thursday in Atlanta, Boston, Hartford, Conn., Las Vegas, Los Angeles and other cities.

At a Wendy’s in New York City, about 150 workers and supporters stood outside blowing whistles, beating drums and chanting, “We can’t survive on $7.25.” There were no customers inside.

In Detroit, the dining area of a McDonald’s on the city’s northwest side was shut down as workers and

others protested outside.

In Raleigh, N.C., about 30 fast-food workers picketed outside a Little Caesars. Julio Wilson said he earned $9 an hour at the pizza restaurant, where he has worked for about six months. He said it’s not enough to support himself and his 5-yearold daughter.

“I know I’m risking my job, but it’s my right to fight for what I deserve,” Wilson said. “Nine dollars an hour is not enough to make ends meet nowadays.”

A few dozen people gathered along the street outside a McDonald’s in Las Vegas, chanting and carrying signs that read “Strike for a living wage” and “Huelga por $15,” Spanish for “Strike for $15.” But an employee at the restaurants said it stayed open for business throughout the demonstration.

The latest protests follow a series of strikes that began last November in New York City.

WASHINGTON – The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits remained near the lowest level in more than five years last week, a sign that companies are cutting few jobs.

First-time applications for benefits fell 6,000 to a seasonally adjusted 331,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. The four week average, a less volatile measure, inched up 750 to 331,250 after falling to its lowest level since November 2007 the previous week.

Applications for unemployment benefits reflect layoffs.

At the depths of the recession in March 2009, they numbered 670,000. The average has fallen 10 percent this year.

All told, nearly 4.5 million people received unemployment benefits in the week that ended Aug. 10, the latest period for which figures are available. That’s about 30,000 more than in the previous week.

The figures “signal no letup from the recent pace in employment growth, which has been strong enough to keep unemployment trending down,” said Jim O’Sullivan, an economist at High Frequency Economics. “If anything, claims are suggesting further acceleration.”

Though employers are cutting few jobs, most have yet to start hiring aggressively.

Fewer layoffs can increase net job gains, even if hiring doesn’t rise much.

Employers have added an average of 192,000 jobs a month since January.

That’s enough to gradually lower the unemployment rate, which fell to 7.4 percent in July.

The economy is growing at a pace that might be too weak to accelerate hiring. It expanded at a 2.5 percent annual rate from April to June, the government said Thursday. That’s up sharply from the government’s previous estimate of 1.7 percent.

J&J tries new cap to curb fatal Tylenol overdoses

By MATTHEW PERRONE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Bottles of Tylenol sold in the U.S. soon will bear red warnings alerting users to the potentially fatal risks of taking too much of the popular pain reliever.

The unusual step, disclosed by the company that makes Tylenol, comes amid a growing number of lawsuits and pressure from the federal government that could have widespread ramifications for a medicine taken by millions of people every day.

Johnson & Johnson says the warning will appear on the cap of each new bottle of Extra Strength Tylenol sold in the U.S. in October and on most other Tylenol bottles in coming months. The warning will make it explicitly clear the over-the-counter drug contains acetaminophen, a pain-

relieving ingredient that’s the nation’s leading cause of sudden liver failure. The new cap is designed to grab the attention of people who don’t read warnings that already appear in the fine print on the product’s label, according to company executives.

“We’re always looking for ways to better communicate information to patients and consumers,” said Dr. Edwin Kuffner, vice president of McNeil Consumer Healthcare, the Johnson & Johnson unit that makes Tylenol.

Overdoses from acetaminophen send 55,000 to 80,000 people to the emergency room in the U.S. each year and kill at least 500, according the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration. Acetaminophen can be found in more than 600 common overthe-counter products.

Paul Valery, a French poet and critic who died in 1945, said, “Every thought is an exception to the general rule that people don’t think.”

Bridge players always think -- although experts think more than others.

Today’s deal requires careful thought. South is in three no-trump. West leads his fourth-highest heart. What should South do after winning with his jack?

South seems to have a textbook two-no-trump opening bid, but it is close to an upgrade to two clubs, with that good ive-card suit worth an extra point.

Declarer has only ive top tricks: two spades and three hearts. It looks obvious to attack diamonds, where he has so many cards. And that is true, but it helps if he pauses to think about the right play at trick two.

Suppose South makes the natural-looking choice of a low diamond to dummy’s jack. Here, East wins the trick with his ace and returns a heart, after which declarer has no chance. If South then tries clubs, East takes the trick with the ace and leads his last heart.

True, if declarer starts at trick two with a club to dummy’s 10, that makes it harder for the defense. Whichever defender takes the trick must shift to spades.

However, South can leave the defenders with no chance if he leads the diamond king from his hand at the second trick. If East wins the trick, declarer takes East’s return and ducks a diamond to collect two spades, three hearts and four diamonds. Alternatively, if East ducks the diamond king, South turns to clubs, taking two spades, three hearts, one diamond and three clubs.

The Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion and upgrade is scheduled for initiation of construction during the fall of 2013 with completion of construction expected to require approximately 13 months.

The City anticipates funding this project with a loan of $12,000,000 through the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) Water Pollution Control Loan Program (WPCLP). For a 20-year loan of $12,000,000 at an anticipated interest rate of 1.93%, an annual loan repayment of approximately $726,086 would be required. Repayment revenue will be generated from user fees.

The existing monthly user charge, based on average monthly water usage of 5,000 gallons per customer, is $34.54. As a result of the proposed project, the rates would be increased by $10.00 per month bringing the average monthly bill to $44.54 for the typical customer using 5,000 gallons per month. The proposed average annual user charge for the loan rate of 1.93% is approximately 0.94% of the annual median household income of $56,713 and is below the Agency guidelines of 1.5% of the median household income for affordability.

While the proposed interest rate requires an average user fee that is below the IEPA guidelines for affordability, this is based on the current population. As growth occurs the City will examine the existing rate schedule and conduct rate studies as needed to evaluate and, if necessary, adjust the user rates.

It appears that the proposed project is a cost-effective solution for the community's wastewater treatment needs.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You’re in a cycle of quickly shifting trends, so embrace change and accept the inevitable. Sometimes a push is required to get moving in a direction better suited to your needs.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Step back and re-evaluate a relationship with a person who is trying to coerce you into something you don’t want to do. Your time is better spent with people who have your best interest at heart.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Get your facts and figures from a reliable source. Deals can be made and improvements to your living arrangements or surroundings begun. Do your own thing and avoid meddlers.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Emotions that you or another has been trying to tamp down will surface. You need to deal with potentially messy relationship issues with calmness and grace. Make adjustments to your work methods to ensure security.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Let the past be your teacher in terms of your financial security.

Something you learned long ago can be used to open up a new income channel. Be innovative, take charge and move forward.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- It’s a good day to wheel and deal, draw up contracts, push your ideas and form partnerships that will ensure that you reach your goals. Live fully -- the sky is the limit.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Take advantage of your many options, but don’t exceed your boundaries.

There will be a fine line between success and failure.

Make your choice based on what you know, not what you assume.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Share information and do your best to help others. Your contribution will raise your profile and bring interesting people into your life. Partnerships and proposals look to be quite profitable.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Listen carefully and size up the situation before sharing your thoughts on a work matter. Someone is likely to use your words against you, so don’t give them much to work with.

Romance will turn your evening into an adventure.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Plan an outing with someone you love. The pleasure you take in joint endeavors will encourage you to take on a new project. Plan a trip to an unusual destination for additional inspiration.
