EYE ON THE

AFFORDABLE CARE ACT This is the third in an occasional series from the Northwest Herald that will examine the multiple changes to health care in America in 2014 due to the federal Affordable Care Act.

McHENRY – Saturday morning, Scott Dehn received the long-awaited news that the McHenry Outdoor Theater will get the digital projector it so desperately needs.

It probably wasn’t quite the way he’d envisioned the moment going.

Dehn, the theater’s owner, was in the middle of an on-camera interview with a crew he’d been told was from a film-related website. Turns out, the crew was from Honda, and they were there to reveal that McHenry Outdoor has won one of five digital projectors the company is giving away through “Project DriveIn.” “The interviewer, the last question he asked me was, ‘How does it feel to win a digital projector?’” Dehn said.

Dehn told the guy he’d misunderstood the situation, and that the theater hadn’t won anything yet. That’s when the crew revealed they were from Honda and that McHenry Outdoor had won, Dehn said.

Northwest Herald Web Poll Question The Northwest Herald invites you to voice your opinion. Log on to www.

NWHerald.com and vote on today’s poll question:

Do you plan to use the health care marketplace?

Need to kill progressive tax push Illinois state government reminds me of that AT&T commercial where actor Beck Bennett sits on a classroom floor with a group of kids and asks, “Who thinks more is better than less?”

You know the one I’m talking about?

The kids raise their hands, and the cute little girl in the purple dress and white sweater jumps in with: “More is better than less because, if stuff is not less, if there’s more less stuff then you might want to have some more, and your parents just won’t let you because there’s only a little. But we want more, we want more ...”

We want more. We want more.

They won’t say it publicly, but behind the scenes, “We want more” is the rallying cry of some powerful state officials and large special interest groups who hope to bring a progressive income-tax rate to Illinois by the end of next year.

So there’s no confusion, “progressive income-tax rate” is code for “large tax increases” for Illinois’ hardworking men and women.

Illinois’ wage earners currently pay state government a 5 percent flat income tax regardless of how much they earn. That rate was 3 percent before 2009, when Democrats in a lameduck General Assembly foisted a huge, “temporary” income-tax increase on individuals and businesses in a middleof-the-night vote.

That “temporary” income-tax increase is scheduled to scale back to 3.75 percent at the end of 2014. But many of those in power in state government – mostly elected Democrats – want to replace it with a progressive income-tax rate that likely would maintain the 5 percent rate for the state’s lowest earners and increase it dramatically for higher wage earners.

In the coming months and into 2014, proponents of a progressive rate will blatantly try to mislead the public by saying that the vast majority of wage earners actually will see their income taxes decrease under a progressive rate.

Let me be clear – that’s a load of crap.

The folks behind this movement (check out ABetterIllinois.org, but don’t be persuaded by the propaganda) want more revenue – even though the

73%

state already is taking in more money than ever before. The state can’t get more revenue by lowering taxes on the bottom – say – 95 percent of wage earners and increasing it just on the top 5 percent.

There’s this thing called math, you see, and those numbers don’t add up.

If a progressive tax rate is approved, just about everyone’s taxes in Illinois are going up. Or, at the least, the “temporary” increase to 5 percent will become permanent.

There’s a large political hurdle that has to be crossed before a progressive tax can become reality.

Illinois’ Constitution protects the state’s current flat tax, so changing to a progressive tax system would mean a constitutional amendment.

Changing the state’s Constitution first requires that a resolution be adopted by a three-fifths majority in both chambers of the General Assembly to put a measure on the ballot. If both the House and Senate manage to get it on the ballot, then either three-fifths of those voting on the constitutional amendment or the majority of those voting in that election would have to approve it.

Voters would not be setting the rates at the ballot box, however.

That would come only after everything is approved, and taxpayers would be at the mercy of the Democrat-controlled General Assembly, the same group that’s been wanting – and wasting – more of our tax dollars for years.

It’d be like handing a blank check to a gambling addict outside of a casino and saying, “Here, go have some fun.”

There are two resolutions seeking the amendment already filed, one in the Senate and one in the House (SJRCA30 and HJRCA33).

The resolution has a clearer path out of the Senate, where Democrats hold a 40-29 majority. Just 36 votes are needed to meet the three-fifths requirement there.

It’s a little trickier – and more interesting – in the House, where Democrats

The ASSOCIATED PRESS LAKE MARY, Fla. – Whether they think that he got away with murdering 17-year-old Trayvon Martin or that he was just a brave neighborhood watch volunteer “standing his ground,” many Americans can’t seem to get enough of George Zimmerman. And he can’t seem to stop giving it to them.

So it’s hardly surprising that everything Zimmerman does produces a Twitterverse explosion and spins out into heavy news coverage. Comedian Deon Cole nailed it during an appearance on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” a couple of days after the July 13 verdict. Merely being found not guilty, he said of Zimmerman, “doesn’t mean that you’re a free man.” He certainly hasn’t been free from the spotlight.

George Zimmerman (right) is escorted to a home Monday by a Lake Mary police officer in Lake Mary, Fla., after a domestic incident in the neighborhood where Zimmerman and his wife, Shellie, lived during his murder trial.

• And, this week, police dash-cam footage of Zimmerman kneeling in the street to be cuffed after an alleged scuffle with his estranged wife and father-in-law.

Like gangster Al Capone going to Alcatraz for tax evasion and O.J. Simpson serving time for robbing some sports memorabilia dealers, some interpret these unfortunate

events as comeuppance for a wannabe cop.

But is he a kind of George Ziggy-man, perpetually stalked by storm clouds, or more like one of those California wildfires, creating his own weather patterns?

Seems like a little bit of both, according to crisis management expert Mark McClennan.

Back-to-School Special

“How does he keep resetting his 15 minutes of fame?” said the Boston-area consultant, who’s on the Public Relations Society of America’s board of directors. “I’d say it’s a two-way street.”

Granted, Zimmerman didn’t expect his visit to the Kel-Tec CNC Industries factory in Cocoa, Fla., to be a public event. Zimmerman has turned down all Associated Press interview requests since his trial, and his lawyers didn’t respond to messages about this story. But Shawn Vincent, a spokesman for the law firm that defended Zimmerman, told Yahoo News of the factory visit: “That was not part of our public relations plan.”

But McClennan wasn’t surprised when TMZ published a photo of Zimmerman shaking hands with a Kel-Tec employee – and Zimmerman shouldn’t have been, either.

“Instead of being a 24-hour news cycle, it’s now a 24-second news cycle for anything to spring up,” said McClennan, a senior vice president at Schwartz MSL.

After acquittal, Zimmerman still in spotlight

yes no

hold 71 seats to the Republicans’ 47.

Exactly 71 votes would be necessary to move the resolution out of the House.

State Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, is the only Democrat in the House to sign on as a sponsor to a resolution filed by state Rep. David McSweeney opposing a constitutional amendment allowing a progressive tax.

If all House Republicans stick together and vote against it, as McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, thinks they will, the Democrats would need Franks’ vote to proceed.

But Franks is steadfast in saying he won’t be swayed.

“I don’t know why anyone in their right mind would give our government more money,” he told me Thursday.

“The only reason a tax increase would be necessary is because we’re doing such a bad job with the revenue we have. ... We don’t have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem.”

Franks is right, of course.

More, more, more is the mantra of most in Springfield.

State government is like a giant black hole. We put money in, it sucks it out into the middle of who knows where and demands more.

Illinois already is a high-tax state.

Other states have successfully used that against us to lure businesses and jobs out of Illinois.

“A progressive tax rate will be the final nail in Illinois’ coffin,” said McSweeney.

Despite the two resolutions that already have been filed, and the coalition of forces through A Better Illinois, Franks thinks the effort won’t go anywhere.

If there is a big push, as McSweeney and others believe there will be, Franks acknowledges that he will be the subject of a lot of political pressure from within his own party.

“I’m sure I will,” he said. “I get that every day.”

Thankfully, he’s on the right side of this issue.

Pricey Capitol Residents challenge expansion renovations had Proposed plan to increase size narrow oversight of freight yard The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – For more than two years, lawmakers passing through the state Capitol watched construction workers toil on a $50 million project to restore the 1868 building’s grandeur and bring it up to modern building codes.

But, by law, oversight of the project was closely held by an architect and a four-person board consisting of House Speaker Michael Madigan’s top aide and three other top leaders’ designees. The board meets irregularly and members didn’t see an itemized accounting of the ornate flourishes first proposed by an engineering company – three sets of $223,000 copper-plated doors, $80,000 statuettes, $33,435 marble panels and $3,314 for stone urinal covers – until the work was nearly complete.

This month’s discovery of the startling price tags has sparked outrage and finger-pointing, even filtering into the 2014 governor’s race.

Comparing the refurbished Capitol to the “palace of Versailles,” Gov. Pat Quinn has halted all funding for further

renovations until an official review.

Many have rallied to defend the once-a-century project, noting the building is a historic symbol of Illinois and the ornamentation a tiny portion of a $31 billion construction program promoted

by Quinn and approved by lawmakers. But no one overseeing the project appears to have questioned the expenditures at a time the state is saddled with massive debt and a $100 billion public pension shortfall.

“It doesn’t reflect the world we’re living in,” said Republican state Rep. Jim Durkin, the House minority leader. “It just makes you scratch your head as to how it happened.”

No one involved in the project is making apologies.

Architect J. Richard Alsop III told The Associated Press this week the renovation was a “package deal,” akin to buying a fully loaded car within a set budget, and the itemizations weren’t readily available – even to the board. Alsop said in every case, the lowest bids were selected.

“There is absolutely no doubt we did the job right,” he said.

8STATE BRIEFS Illinois school bus driver charged with DUI WHEATON – A northern Illinois elementary school bus driver is charged with driving drunk while on duty.

Forty-two-year-old Jill Beebe of South Elgin was arrested Friday while working her route in West Chicago after a school employee reported that she thought she smelled alcohol on the driver’s breath.

The DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office said West Chicago police officers administered field sobriety tests.

Beebe was charged with one count of aggravated driving while under the influence. She could get up to three years in prison if found guilty.

Old Style wants beer to keep flowing at Wrigley CHICAGO – Old Style wants Chicago Cubs fans to stop drinking its beer long enough to speak up on its behalf.

In a news release, Old Style said it is launching a grassroots campaign to keep its beer flowing at Wrigley Field.

The company’s public appeal follows last week’s announcement by the Cubs that the team is making Anheuser-Busch InBev its “exclusive marketing partner” for beer and malt beverages. The team said it would be ending its decades-long marketing relationship with Old Style in 2014.

The Cubs said the deal means Old Style signs will disappear and not necessarily the beer itself. But Old Style is worried about its future at Wrigley and wants fans to let the team’s concession management partner, Levy Restaurants, know how much they love Old Style.

Man convicted of role in deadly Ill. home invasion BELLEVILLE – A jury in southwestern Illinois found a man guilty of helping his cousin kill a woman during a home invasion that also injured the victim’s boyfriend.

The Belleville News-Democrat reported a St. Clair County jury deliberated 90 minutes Friday before convicting 22-year-old Garfield Fenton of first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder.

Authorities said 23-year-old LeNae Cole was fatally stabbed in the neck in July of last year in her Belleville apartment. Her boyfriend was stabbed but survived.

Cole had obtained a protection

order, alleging her husband, John Cole, choked her and tied her to a chair. She filed for divorce the month before the killing.

U. of Illinois considers firing professor URBANA – University of Illinois trustees are expected later this month to consider the rare step of stripping a professor of tenure and firing him.

University President Bob Easter has recommended that associate engineering professor Louis Wozniak lose his tenure.

According to the News-Gazette in Champaign, administrators claim the longtime professor revealed one student’s grade, videotaped students without consent and told students in an email to remind him of their names because he only remembers those he has sex with.

Wozniak later apologized for a joke he said was in bad taste.

He says he’d like to teach again.

lll. prosecutor’s racial remarks prompt new trial ST. LOUIS – An Illinois appeals court has ordered a new trial for a black man sentenced to 85 years in prison in a 2010 shooting death, saying comments the prosecutor made to an all-white jury amounted to “naked prejudice.”

The Mount Vernon-based 5th District Appellate Court on Friday threw out Marcus Marshall’s 2011 conviction in the Marion killing.

The appellate court found it had no choice but to order the new trial. It cited Williamson County State’s Attorney Charles Garnati’s courtroom arguments, which included a reference to “our white world” even though race had nothing to do with the case. The court, in its seven-page ruling, called the comments “naked prejudice.”

Chicago: Taxi medallion auction to raise $18M CHICAGO – Starting next week, the city of Chicago will begin offering 50 taxicab medallions in an auction expected to raise $18 million. The sale will be from Monday to Oct. 18 and is open to the public.

The price of Chicago medallions has soared in recent years.

In a similar auction in 2006 the average winning bid was around $78,500. By 2010, it was nearly $256,900.

By TAMMY WEBBER The Associated Press CHICAGO – Residents in one of Chicago’s poorest neighborhoods have complained for years about diesel fumes, noise and vibrations from a blocks-long rail yard that slices through their community. Now, plans for a massive expansion have prompted them to do something they say the city and company won’t: Test the air around their homes for elevated pollution levels.

With the help of environmental advocacy groups from Chicago and California, community activists in Englewood last week installed two pollution monitors that

The 140-acre yard handles more than 480,000 containers a year, but the company wants to expand it by about 85 acres to accommodate another 800 diesel trucks a day, and is buying vacant lots and homes from the city and private owners.

Residents say the plan, backed by Mayor Rahm

Emanuel, will simply add to the neighborhood’s pollution, which a nearby interstate and another rail yard also contribute to, and cause elevated levels of asthma and other health problems.

“I think the railroad has completely not acknowledged the welfare of the neighborhood,” said 74-year-old Julian McClendon, who lives about 1,000 feet from a railroad embankment – where he says trains often sit and idle while waiting to get into the yard – and a block from where the expanded yard would end.

“I hear the train noise and I smell the pollution on a regular basis [especially] at night and in the early morning hours,” said McClendon, who has lived in Englewood for more than 50 years and wants the railroad to conduct an environmental impact study.

A spokesman from Norfolk Southern did not return phone or email messages Friday.

Growing divide between U.S., Russia reach deal GOP, tea party raises worry on Syria, avert strikes The ASSOCIATED PRESS FLETCHER, N.C. – Tea party activists, once unquestioned as a benefit to the Republican Party for supplying it with votes and energy, are now criticizing GOP leaders at seemingly every turn.

They’re demanding that Congress use upcoming budget votes to deny money for putting in place President Barack Obama’s 2010 health care law, despite warnings the strategy could lead to a government shutdown.

They’re upset that Republicans didn’t block a Senate-passed immigration bill.

Many are outspoken opponents of any U.S. involvement in Syria’s civil war.

A recent Pew Research Center survey found that more than 7 in 10 self-identified “tea party Republicans” disapprove of the job performance of GOP congressional leaders.

Many of the major tea party groups are backing 2014 pri-

mary challengers against Republicans the activists deem too moderate, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

The Kentucky conservative once declared it his job to make Obama a one-term president.

That leaves some Republicans quietly worried that an intraparty tussle could yield a repeat of 2012. That year, conservative candidates lost winnable Senate races, and GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney struggled to win over conservatives while still appealing to moderate swing voters.

The health care debate puts the GOP in its tightest spot.

Wary Republicans recall the 1995-96 government shutdowns under President Bill Clinton, who persuaded many voters to blame the GOP and House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a Georgia Republican, for that budget impasse.

McConnell, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and other GOP congressional leaders

endorse the idea to “defund Obamacare.” But some also have tried to persuade core supporters that it won’t happen because Democrats run the Senate and Obama won’t gut his signature domestic achievement.

If Congress doesn’t agree on appropriations at all, then many core government functions, including some military operations and the processing of Medicare claims and Social Security applications, would stop. But that doesn’t satisfy the tea party faithful, who say too many Republicans have welcomed their support in elections only to ignore their concerns in office.

“My message to Speaker Boehner and [House Majority Leader] Eric Cantor and Senator McConnell is simple: If you’re not willing to fight for this, what are you willing to fight for?” Amy Kremer, leader of the California-based Tea Party Express, said at a recent stop in western North Carolina.

Rescuers issue stern warning to Colo. evacuees: Leave now The ASSOCIATED PRESS BOULDER, Colo. – As rescuers broke through to flood-ravaged Colorado towns, they issued a stern warning Saturday to anyone thinking of staying behind: Leave now or be prepared to endure weeks without electricity, running water and basic supplies.

National Guard helicopters and truck convoys carried the admonition into paralyzed canyon communities where thousands of stranded residents were eager to escape the Rocky Mountain foothills.

But not everybody was willing to go. Dozens of people in the isolated community of Jamestown wanted to stay to watch over their homes.

Authorities made clear that residents who chose not to leave might not get another chance for a while.

“We’re not trying to force anyone from their home.

We’re not trying to be forceful, but we’re trying to be very factual and definitive about the consequences of their decision, and we hope that they will come down,” Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle said.

Across the foothills, rescu-

ers made progress against the floodwaters. But they were still unable to go up many narrow canyon roads that were either underwater or washed out.

On Saturday, the surge of water reached the plains east of the mountains, cutting off more communities and diverting some rescue operations.

Four people have been confirmed dead since the harrowing floods began Wednesday.

And hundreds of others have not been heard from in the flood zone, which has grown to cover portions of an area nearly the size of Connecticut.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS GENEVA – A diplomatic breakthrough Saturday on securing and destroying Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile averted the threat of U.S. military action for the moment and could swing momentum toward ending a horrific civil war.

Marathon negotiations between U.S. and Russian diplomats at a Geneva hotel produced a sweeping agreement that will require one of the most ambitious arms-control efforts in history.

The deal involves making an inventory and seizing all components of Syria’s chemical weapons program and imposing penalties if President Bashar Assad’s government fails to comply will the terms.

After days of intense dayand-night negotiations between U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and their teams, the two powers announced they had a framework for ridding the world of Syria’s chemicals weapons.

The U.S. says Assad used chemical weapons in an Aug. 21 attack on the outskirts of Damascus, the capital, killing more than 1,400 civilians.

That prompted U.S. President Barack Obama to ready

American airstrikes on his order – until he decided last weekend to ask for authorization from the U.S. Congress. Then came the Russian proposal, and Obama asked Congress, already largely opposed to military intervention, to delay a vote.

Obama said the deal “represents an important, concrete step toward the goal of moving Syria’s chemical weapons under international control so that they may ultimately be destroyed.”

“This framework provides the opportunity for the elimination of Syrian chemical

weapons in a transparent, expeditious and verifiable manner, which could end the threat these weapons pose not only to the Syrian people but to the region and the world,” he said in a statement.

Kerry and Lavrov said they agreed on the size of the chemical weapons inventory, and on a speedy timetable and measures for Assad to do away with the toxic agents.

But Syria, a Moscow ally, kept silent on the development, while Obama made clear that “if diplomacy fails, the United States remains prepared to act.”

Obama to mark Lehman collapse anniversary Will cite progress in turnaround of economy

By JIM KUHNHENN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is marking the fifth anniversary of the Lehman Brothers collapse by trying to lay claim to an economic turnaround and warning Republicans against moves that he contends would risk a backslide.

His message to the GOP:

don’t oppose raising the nation’s debt limit, don’t threaten to close down the government in a budget fight, and don’t push to delay the health care law or starve it of federal money.

The economic emphasis, after weeks devoted to the Syrian crisis, will begin coming into focus in a series of events kicked off by a Rose Garden speech Monday. It’s a deter-

mined effort to confront public skepticism about his stewardship of the economy and to put down his marker for budget clashes with Congress in the weeks ahead.

The White House argues that a better capitalized and better regulated financial sector is extending more credit, fueling an economy now able to withstand headwinds such as spending cuts and tax in-

8NATION BRIEFS Okla. town to rebuild Guthrie’s boyhood home OKEMAH, Okla. – When Woody Guthrie’s boyhood home was ordered torn down in the 1970s, the demolition reflected the strained relationship between conservative Oklahoma and the native son famous for his folk singing and progressive politics.

Those tensions persisted for more than a generation. But now developers have announced plans to rebuild Guthrie’s 1860s-era home in Okemah, about 60 miles south of Tulsa.

Johnny Buschardt, spokesman for the project, said without Guthrie, there wouldn’t be a Bob Dylan or a Bruce Springsteen.

Best known for the song “This Land is Your Land,” Guthrie came of age during the Depression and later embraced leftwing politics, including for a time some tenets of communism. By weaving social issues into his

Sandusky’s bid for new trial going to court in Pa. HARRISBURG, Pa. – Jerry Sandusky’s challenge to his child molestation conviction goes before a state appeals court Tuesday, as the former Penn State assistant football coach seeks to overturn a sentence that could keep him behind bars for life.

Pennsylvania’s Superior Court will decide whether prosecutors made an improper reference to the fact that Sandusky did not testify, whether jury instructions were mishandled and whether the defense should have been given more time before trial to digest a large volume of investigative material.

The court is meeting in Wilkes-Barre, part of efforts to make its proceedings accessi-

Bus overturns in Ohio; at least 35 reported injured CINCINNATI – A Greyhound bus drove off an interstate highway in southwest Ohio early Saturday, struck a tree and a fence and flipped on its side before sliding to a stop in a cornfield, injuring at least 35 people.

None of the injuries was considered life-threatening, though several people were trapped and had to be extricated by firefighters and paramedics, the State Highway Patrol said in a statement.

Patrol Sgt. Pete Combs said an investigation was underway and he could not comment on a possible cause for the crash, which happened around 4 a.m. on Interstate 75 in Liberty Township, about 25 miles north of Cincinnati.

“You can draw this straight line from the health of the financial system to the ways the financial system impacts the economy,” said Jason Furman, the chairman of Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers.

Obama can point to a growing economy, rising housing prices, 35 straight months of hiring, a rebounding stock market and other signs of recovery.

Five years after the federal government stepped in and in-

“And as Congress takes up important decisions in the coming months, I’m going to keep making the case for the smart investments and fiscal responsibility that keep our economy growing, creates jobs and keeps the U.S. competitive.

That includes making sure we don’t risk a U.S. default over paying bills we’ve already racked up.”

Sunday is the fifth anniversary of Lehman’s bankruptcy, which was the largest in U.S. history. The firm’s demise marked the beginning of the global financial crisis and was a major catalyst of the financial meltdown.

Colleges offer new options for students with disabilities The ASSOCIATED PRESS ALLEN PARK, Mich. – As he sits in class at Eastern Michigan University, a flood of images streams from Tony Saylor’s vibrant, creative mind down through his pen and onto paper.

Often, his doodling features the 9-year-old character Viper Girl who battles monsters with her pet fox Logan.

Saylor, 22, has even self-published three books of their adventures.

Saylor’s professors didn’t exactly welcome his constant drawing, but once he explained it was the only way he could hope to process their lectures – and even to stay awake – most let him continue.

For college students with autism and other learning disabilities, this is the kind of balancing act that takes place every day – accommodating a disability while also pushing beyond it toward normalcy and a degree, which is increasingly essential for finding a meaningful career.

But Saylor and a growing number like him are giving it a shot. Students who would once have languished at home, or in menial jobs, or struggled unsuccessfully in college, are finding a new range of options for support services to help.

“I knew I didn’t want to work in the fast food industry my whole life,” Saylor said, sitting at the kitchen table of his family’s home in this Detroit suburb, where he lives

while commuting to EMU. His mother, Angela Saylor, says a 3-year-old program at EMU that supports autistic students – a graduate student who works with the program attends all his classes with him – has been a godsend.

Such programs within traditional universities, offering supplemental support for additional tuition, are sprouting up around the country (Nova Southeastern University in Florida is among the schools starting one this fall). “The K&W Guide to College Programs for Students With Learning Disabilities or AD/HD” has grown steadily since its precursor was first published in 1991, and now lists 362 programs, the majority of them now comprehensive services.

Meanwhile, other parts of the landscape are also expanding. College disability service offices (whose help is usually free) are also improving. Care centers, often for-profit and unaffiliated with colleges, are popping up near campuses and offering supplementary support. Finally, institutions with a history of serving large numbers of students with learning disabilities are growing, some adding 4-year degrees.

“This is the best time ever for students who learn differently to go to college,” said Brent Betit, a co-founder of Landmark College in Vermont, which opened in 1985 with a then-unique focus on such students and now has a range of competitors.

Funeral bombing, other Iraq attacks kill at least 25 The ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD – A suicide bomber attacked a funeral Saturday in northern Iraq attended by members of an ethnic minority, part of a series of assaults that killed at least 25 across the country, officials said.

Iraq is weathering its deadliest bout of violence in half a decade, raising fears the country is returning to a period of widespread killing such as that which pushed it to the brink of civil war following the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. More than 4,000 people have been killed in violent attacks since the start of April,

including 804 just in August, according to United Nations figures.

In the suicide attack, the bomber detonated his explosive belt inside a tent during the afternoon ceremony held by members of the Shabak minority near the city of Mosul, 225 miles northwest of Baghdad.

Authorities said the blast in the village of Arto Kharab killed at least 20 people and wounded 35. The funeral was for a member of the Shabak minority who had died of natural causes, officials said.

The Shabaks are ethnic Turkomen and Shiite Muslims. Most of them live in

villages east of Mosul, the provincial capital of the ethnically mixed Ninevah province that is predominantly Sunni Muslim.

There was no immediate claim for the funeral attack, but Mosul has been a hub for al-Qaida in Iraq in past years.

Militants have used violence and intimidation to drive hundreds of members of minority groups out of the city.

Al-Qaida’s local branch, known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, has claimed responsibility for a number of large-scale bombings in recent months and is believed to be behind other coordinated attacks.

Mubarak’s retrial in protest deaths gets started in Egypt The ASSOCIATED PRESS CAIRO – An Egyptian judge on Saturday named top security officials to testify in the retrial of former President Hosni Mubarak on charges related to the killings of around 900 protesters during the 2011 uprising that led to his ouster.

The 85-year-old longtime autocrat’s previous conviction for failing to stop the killings was overturned on appeals earlier this year, leaving still open questions about who ordered the use of deadly force against protesters and who carried out those orders.

The naming of former prison and top intelligence officials in the case appeared to

intertwine Mubarak’s trial with accusations facing his successor, Mohammed Morsi, who was ousted in a popularly-backed coup July 3 just one year after his election.

Morsi has been held since at an undisclosed military facility and is being investigated on allegations that he and other Muslim Brotherhood leaders conspired with the Palestinian Hamas group in the neighboring Gaza Strip to escape from prison during the anti-Mubarak uprising.

That allegation was raised again in court Saturday by defense lawyers who suggested that Hamas militants were behind the attacks on prisons and police stations in

the northern Sinai Peninsula, which borders Gaza.

As the trial resumed, the army continued its largest offensive in years against militants in northern Sinai. Security officials said Saturday they uncovered explosives aimed at an Egyptian border post near a tunnel from Gaza, with a detonating wire leading back through a tunnel to Gaza.

Military intelligence officials said the discovery was another sign that Gaza-based militants are involved in attacks on Egyptian security forces. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Policies divided into 4 groups that offer different levels of coverage • CHANGES Continued from page A1 “I think it is something in our health system that we have put our arms around and really embraced,” he said of the looming law changes. “It’s different than what you have seen in the past. It is about total wellness in all areas for the patient, when it used to just focus on the inpatient side of things.”

Hospitals and health care providers everywhere also are training themselves to educate people about the Affordable Care Act, signed in 2010 with provisions being phased in through 2020. Its intent is to make health care more accessible and affordable, and it requires most Americans to have insurance and businesses with a certain number of employees to offer it or pay a fine.

The Health Insurance Marketplace, or Exchange, is scheduled to open Oct. 1. It’s a website that will serve as a central location for residents and small businesses to compare and choose from dozens of insurance plans. Coverage will kick in Jan. 1.

The policies will be divided into four levels – bronze, silver, gold and platinum – that offer different levels of coverage and services. The Exchange aims to get thousands of uninsured residents health insurance coverage; depending on income, some people will get subsidies to help offset costs, while others could be enrolled in Medicaid. Anyone can use the Marketplace to look for insurance, but not everyone will qualify for subsidies.

But for many health care providers, uncertainty remains about how the delivery and practice of health care will be affected by the Marketplace. Earlier this week, for

instance, federal officials said the policies offered in Illinois and how much they will cost won’t be available until the Marketplace opens.

Uninsured patients can be costly for health care providers such as hospitals. Danny Chun, spokesman for the Illinois Hospital Association, said there are 1.7 million to 1.9 million uninsured people in Illinois. The association represents more than 200 hospitals and health systems in the state.

Studies show that the uninsured tend to be sicker, put off care longer and can be difficult to treat as a result. Hospitals tend to be the first and last resort for many of the uninsured.

“They provide more than $1.5 billion a year for care which they do not receive any compensation,” Chun said of Illinois hospitals.

Eesley said the new requirement for all individuals to carry health insurance would be a financial wash for Centegra and many health systems.

On one side, Eesley said, it would reduce the debt many health systems face when they provide care to the uninsured.

But, he said, because more patients will be on low-cost cov-

erage and Medicaid and Medicare, reimbursements will be lower and end up canceling the savings from the reduced debt.

The bottom line, he said, is more people will be covered and that is what is most important.

“If there is a mechanism for them to receive care, they will receive care,” he said, adding that those on Medicare, Medicaid or other low-cost options would not be turned away.

“We take great pride in main-

taining all of our services at all costs.”

Richard Gruber, vice president for Mercy Health System, said his concern is getting those who are uninsured to take advantage of the Marketplace. Individuals can opt to pay a fine that increases each year insurance is not purchased, so Gruber said it would be on health systems to educate patients about all the options.

“The ones who are uninsured today are likely going to be uninsured after Oct. 1 and when the new law starts,” Gruber said. “We have done a lot of work with our financial staff to make sure we can let patients know all their options and work to get them a plan that works.”

The IHA is encouraging hospital systems to consider applying to be Certified Application Counselor organizations, where a system’s staff and volunteers help people understand, apply and enroll for coverage, according to an August letter from the organization.

Local agencies participating include Advocate’s Good Shepherd and Sherman hospitals, Centegra Health System, Family Health Partnership Clinic, Families ETC, Greater Elgin Family Health Center and Pioneer Center for Human Services.

‘I couldn’t be more proud to say I’m from McHenry’ • DRIVE-IN Continued from page A1 knees and broke down for a little bit,” he said. “It was pretty emotional.”

Dehn has been trying to find a way to update the theater’s equipment since he took it over in early 2012.

Because of the movie industry’s ongoing switch from 35 mm film to digital – a format cheaper for studios and distributors – theaters across the country are having to move fast to install digital projectors. Otherwise, their owners are left choosing from a dwindling selection of movies produced on the old format.

The change has hit smaller, independent theaters hardest, and threatens many homegrown drive-ins like McHenry Outdoor.

Last year, Dehn’s campaign on the fundraising website Kickstarter to raise $130,000 for the projector and accompanying maintenance fell short.

Kickstarter projects that don’t reach their goals don’t receive any of the funds that donors pledge, so Dehn had to go back to the drawing board.

Through online efforts and other donations, the theater had raised $5,000 toward the switch. But under Project Drive-In, Honda’s attempt to help preserve what they call an “iconic part of American car culture,” Dehn turned his attention to asking for votes rather than money.

It worked. Voters willed McHenry Outdoor to a spot among the contest’s five winners.

“They came together to support something they love,” Dehn said. “I couldn’t be more proud to say I’m from McHenry.”

He said it was like getting “the weight of the world” lifted off his shoulders when he found out his theater would survive the switch to digital.

The extra $5,000 raised will go toward other repairs. Dehn plans to have the theater revamped and running with the digital projector by next season.

“I just fell down to my knees and broke down for a little bit. It was pretty emotional.”

Scott Dehn McHenry Outdoor Theater owner, on hearing he won one of ive digital projectors “There’s a lot of beautification and a lot of repair work that will be done,” he said.

For now, it’s time to celebrate. Dehn was with family and friends Saturday night at the drive-in for a showing of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” “I think we’re just going to take a deep breath and enjoy the moment, enjoy these last few days of 35 mm film we’ve got left,” he said.

Dehn wasn’t the only one soaking in the evening Saturday. Cars flooded the theater parking lot as the sun disappeared. Families sat on lawn chairs and tables or piled in the back of pickup trucks.

Many curled into blankets as the air cooled.

“It’s awesome,” said Cheryl Burke, of Cary, who was playing Scrabble with her husband, Jim, and 15-year-old son, Adam, before the movie started. They’d been planning to come out anyway but when they heard about the projector, a movie became a must.

“We own ‘Ferris Bueller,’ ” Cheryl Burke said, laughing.

“But we came here to watch.”

Ed and Tammie Majkrzak and their kids Gracee, 11, and Alayna, 8, who live so close to the theater they can tune into its radio station from home, were similarly familiar with the classic flick. But it didn’t matter. The theater is about the experience, they said.

“We’ve never seen it on the big screen,” Tammie Majkrzak said.

Before the movie started, Dehn spoke through the radio to the crowd, thanking them for their support. Theater-goers responded with car horns that played like applause.

“Wow,” Dehn said. “What a night.”

County Department of Health, said a community informational meeting on enrolling in the Marketplace would take place Oct. 2 at the Crystal Lake Public Library.

The unknown of how many people will be in what price range for health insurance has made it difficult on some health care providers.

Ginnie Flynn, spokeswoman for the Illinois Academy of Family Physicians, said there are mixed attitudes about the ACA among physicians, with many members in her organization not fully understanding how it will affect their work.

“Especially our younger members,” Flynn said. “We even ask about the ACA to our medical students ... and the overwhelming response is, ‘I’m not sure what is going on.’”

The concern is not as great at local health systems.

Ro Ostergaard, spokeswoman for Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital, said physicians would be paid Medicare rates for Medicaid patients under the health care reform – an important perk to encourage accepting all patients.

“This was meant to be an incentive for primary care physicians to accept Medicaid patients,” Ostergaard said.

“Moving an uninsured population to an insured population will benefit the patient in that they no longer have a financial barrier to receiving care.”

Professor: Agreement with U.S. a ‘brilliant tactical move’ for Russia • ANALYSIS Continued from page A1 in an attack recently, killing more than 1,400 people.

Putin, on the other hand, will have taken great strides in showing that Russia must play a critical role in the Middle East, something it surrendered with the collapse of the Soviet Union more than two decades ago.

What’s more, Putin has for the time being shored up Assad. Equally important to the Kremlin, Russian intervention will enhance Putin’s stature as a geopolitical counterbalance to American power.

The deal calls for unspecified U.N. penalties against Syria should Assad fail to comply, but stops short of authorizing a military strike.

That would leave Obama in a position of ignoring the world body’s directive should he revert to airstrikes.

“It was a brilliant tactical move” for Russia, said Jonathan Adelman, professor at the University of Denver Korbel School of International Studies.

“It makes them the savior of Syria, and the savior of their closest ally. It kind of highlighted the message that the Americans are clearly, totally unreliable,” he said.

To R. Nicholas Burns, professor of international relations at Harvard’s Kennedy

School of Government, the Russian gambit is part of a long-term strategy.

“One of Putin’s abiding objectives for the last decade has been to limit the power and maneuverability of the United States,” said Burns, a former ambassador to NATO and Greece, and a former undersecretary of state for political affairs.

“They don’t want to live in a world where the United States is dominant. If there are opportunities to limit, clip the power of the United States, to harry and harass the United States, they will do it,” he said.

Assad and his father before him have been Moscow’s foremost Arab allies for decades.

Much of the weaponry Syria deploys against the rebels fighting to overthrow his government comes from Russia.

Even as evidence mounted that Assad’s military launched the Aug. 21 chemical attack, Russia insisted that the rebels were to blame. Until now, the Russians have used or threatened to use their Security Council veto to block U.N. action to punish Assad.

Despite a civil war death toll above 100,000 in Syria and millions more made refugees, Putin is banking on the world seeing the contrast between his steadfastness in standing with an isolated Syria and Obama’s less than sure-footed handling of the crisis.

Besides calling for Assad’s

overthrow on two occasions, Obama had said Assad’s use of chemical weapons would cross a red line. Obama pledged to arm Syrian rebels but the flow of arms has been minimal and sluggish.

He prepared Americans for airstrikes after the chemical attack, had Secretary of State John Kerry deliver an impassioned argument for striking Assad, then pulled back and asked Congress for support.

He hasn’t gotten it.

The rebels feel cut adrift, abandoned. In less than a week they went from optimistic expectations of a greater weapons flow and a U.S. air assault to degrade Assad’s forces to the reality of Russia, Syria’s No. 1 ally, involved in a lengthy chemical weapons process with Washington, the rebels’ would-be mentor.

On the opposition front, Obama and Putin appear to share a common concern.

While the Syrian uprising began as an internal matter, the rebels were in dire need of military assistance and were far outnumbered. The manpower vacuum has been filled by foreign Islamic extremists.

Neither the United States nor Russia wants to see a strategic country such as Syria come under control of religious extremists. Russia is particularly concerned given its long southern border populated by Muslim countries that were once Soviet

republics.

Moscow spent nearly two decades crushing an Islamic uprising in Chechnya, a Russian republic in the Caucasus region in the deep south and not far from Syria. The U.S. worries about the further spread of territory under control of militant Islamists and

al-Qaida franchises.

Both Obama and Putin will find satisfaction, for different reasons, in having avoided – again for the time being – a U.S. attack on Syria.

For Putin, the talks bolster Moscow’s global standing and could, either through delay or success, preserve their crucial

Middle East ally.

For Obama, a deal would pull him out of a deep political hole, the one he created for himself by declaring a readiness to strike, then pulling back in an attempt to share the responsibility with Congress, which wanted no part of an attack.

Meetings law needs fix Next time legislators look under the hood of the state’s Open Meetings Act, we suggest a little fine-tuning to avoid more bumpy rides.

That minor adjustment would involve clarifying the definition of a “meeting.” Specifically, someone who has been elected to a governing body – but has not yet taken office – should be counted as a member if he or she takes part in discussing public business.

In November, the Whiteside County Board met to discuss the election of a new chairman. Then-recently elected members met with incumbents behind closed doors in what was described as a “political caucus” of the board’s Democratic majority. The attorney general recently ruled that gathering was an illegal meeting of the board because it involved public business.

What the Whiteside County Board did was clearly a violation of the Open Meetings Act because, even without counting the new members, a majority of a quorum of board incumbents attended the meeting. “Majority of a quorum” is the general definition of a legal meeting to which the public should be invited to observe and record.

In Dixon, it has been common practice for the City Council after municipal elections for commissioners to meet in private to divide specific assignments among the members. That happened after the 2011 election, when three new members – a majority of the council – met to decide who would handle which responsibilities of departmental oversight.

Whether the Dixon commissioners broke the law isn’t so clear. Because only one of four council members was an incumbent, the majority of those present had not been sworn in – even though they talked about assignments that they would, by law, have to approve in an open meeting. (Coincidentally, minutes of subsequent public meetings indicate the council failed to take such an official vote in 2011.)

Asked whether that closed meeting in 2011 was illegal, Assistant Attorney General Matthew Hartman said he didn’t know whether members-elect counted toward a majority of a quorum. A request for an official opinion from his office has to be submitted within 60 days of the alleged violation. In this case, that deadline passed two years ago.

A simple amendment to the Open Meetings Act should make clear that members-elect, for the purposes of establishing a majority of a quorum, are to be considered members. If they are discussing public matters on which they will eventually take final action, their discussions should be open to the public – even if they haven’t been sworn in.

These are two examples of what likely is more instances of – at least – breaking the spirit of the Open Meetings Act. Illegal or not, a secret meeting is a lousy way for a new administration to begin its term.

Compliance with the law should mean 100 percent. From Day One. That would ensure a smooth ride for everyone.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Thanks for support To the Editor: I am writing to thank you for featuring our event, “Food, fun and giving,” in the Northwest Herald.

It’s nice to read stories that are positive and uplifting.

I would like to mention, in addition, that without the help and support of Scout Troop 166, our village, Algonquin Township, and our better half, the Fox River Grove Lioness Club, this event would not have been possible.

Thanks to all who came out not only to help with the event, but also to those who came and enjoyed a fun day at the park.

Vote for fire trustees To the Editor: Past McHenry Township Fire Protection District trustees have questioned my agenda, and a petition for election of trustees is coming soon to your neighborhood. I question the unsupervised squandering of our tax money.

After numerous FOIAs and contract investigations, I find taxpayers (you) spent almost $1.3 million

for an addition to Fire House No. 1 and have absolutely nothing to show for it. Property taxes, which your family just stretched to pay, have been consumed by unconscionable and incompetent neglect, totaling $1.3 million.

My 10-minute oral presentation to district trustees questions their mismanagement, lack of fiduciary responsibility and integrity. The good old boys did it again. Your money is gone. With no bid contracts, demolished properties and inflated egos, the trustees swept through your tax savings like a swarm of financial locusts with impunity.

I am asking for public approval of a petition for the election of trustees to the district board; no more appointments by the County Board. Only registered voters in McHenry Township are eligible to vote. Ten percent of the eligible 38,000 voters are required for the petition, requiring almost 4,000 signatures.

Make a difference, it’s your money. Become knowledgeable, vote for trustees next election.

Donald Allen McHenry

Easy target To the Editor: As the executive director of the Township Officials of Illinois, I would like to respond to the Sept.

6 editorial in the Northwest Herald that criticized township government and called for its elimination.

Understandably, due to massive state deficits, elected officials cannot escape the gut-reaction criticism of overspending and bloating in all levels of government these days.

Townships have become an easy target because many people do not understand what we do and how we operate.

The fact is we provide essential services effectively and efficiently across the state, and we often do it far under the radar. In an

analysis by respected public policy researcher Wendell Cox, it was discovered that smaller, local governments have lower costs per capita than larger local governments. The argument that eliminating townships to save taxpayers’ money is inconsistent with Cox’s study.

The role of townships is to focus on cutting costs and providing value for the money allocated.

If the responsibilities of smaller governments, including townships, were transferred to larger governments, taxpayers would pay more, because the larger governments have higher cost structures. This would certainly not be a step in the right direction for Illinois taxpayers.

President Obama has zero credibility on foreign policy “One does not sharpen the axes after the right time; after the time they are needed.”

Russian Proverb The late Ukrainian violinist Mischa Elman is considered one of the greatest of all time, but he has nothing on Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has played the Obama administration better than any musician.

Washington is astounded at what happened over two days on the Syria front. First, there was a supposed faux pas on Monday in London by Secretary of State John Kerry, who said the only way Syria could avoid a military strike was to give up its chemical weapons. While the State Department was busy walking back his comment, Putin said it was a great idea and offered to facilitate the handover, a proposal to which

Walid al-Moallem, the Syrian foreign minister, quickly agreed.

Then on Tuesday, things accelerated at warp speed. Al-Moallem said Syria was willing to become a party to the Chemical Weapons Convention, the international agreement banning the use of chemical weapons, which was the first admission his country possessed them. While the United Nations was preparing to hold one of its toothless “emergency meetings,” Putin then added a caveat: The United States and its allies (meaning Israel) would have to agree that in exchange they would pledge not to attack Syria. It was then announced that Kerry would meet before the end of the week with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Geneva to discuss Syria.

Putin seems to have pulled a page from the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis when Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush-

Views Cal Thomas chev agreed to withdraw missiles it had placed in Cuba if the United States promised not to attack Fidel Castro’s communist island. President John F. Kennedy agreed and potential nuclear war was averted.

Cuba is an island. Syria is in a far different and unstable neighborhood.

In his nationally televised address Tuesday night, President Obama said little that was not already known. By my count, he used the words “I,” “me” and “my” 30 times in his 15-minute address. He personalizes everything, but delivers little, except uncertainty in his foreign policy. The world is becoming increasingly dangerous because

we have a president who either does not know how to lead, or doesn’t want to lead in foreign affairs.

That House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi would credit the president with a diplomatic triumph because of a pledge from two men whose promises aren’t worth the paper on which they have yet to be written, is funnier than the monologues of late-night comedians.

Shortly after Putin’s “diplomatic triumph,” which might have been expected given Syria’s puppet status with Russia, ABC News Online reported that Putin plans to meet Friday with Iranian President Hassan Rowhani to renew Russia’s offer of S-300 air defense missiles to Iran.

Putin knows how to stir the pot to America’s detriment.

Iran, with or without its proxy war in Syria and its arming of Hezbollah, remains the major threat.

8SPEAK OUT

Q “Would you support U.S. airstrikes against Syria because of their use of chemical weapons on their own people?”

SPEAK OUT ON FACEBOOK “No. I think violence begets more violence, and if we did, there is no telling where it would go from there.”

Northwest Herald asked this same question on its Facebook page. At right are a few of the responses.

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

“No, absolutely not. It’s time for us to take care of our own problems. We are not the world’s police force.”

Mary Waterson Crystal Lake

Obama, who once said he would consider negotiating with Iran because America had become too “arrogant,” shows that, too, was a meaningless proposal. You can’t negotiate with evil. Evil must be defeated.

By assuming the role of a bad character on the world stage, Russia is a threat to peace.

During last year’s presidential campaign, Mitt Romney said Russia is “our No. 1 geopolitical foe; they fight for every cause for the world’s worst actors.”

Who sounds more presidential: a tentative Barack Obama, who speaks loudly and too often, but carries a small stick, or Mitt Romney, who clearly understood that for threats to be diminished or deterred a president must have credibility?

It certainly isn’t our president.

ABOUT $15,000 IN DAMAGE IN CL FIRE CRYSTAL LAKE – A garage suffered an estimated $15,000 worth of damage in an early-morning structure fire Saturday.

The Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department responded at 3:07 a.m. to a report of a structure fire at 544 Portsmith Court, according to a news release from the fire department.

Upon arrival, firefighters saw smoke coming from the garage of the residence. The fire was contained to the garage, and was under control in 15 minutes, according to the news release.

No one was in the home at the time of the fire.

There were no injuries to civilians or firefighters, and the fire is under investigation by the Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department.

Assisting at the scene were the Crystal Lake Building Department, fire resources from Algonquin and the Crystal Lake Police Department.

A look at primary possibilities More petitions drawn for McHenry County offices in March elections

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – At least one McHenry County Board district is on track to have a contested GOP primary, despite losing an incumbent who decided to run for county clerk instead.

Former County Board member Mary Donner and

District 47 school board member Nancy Gonsiorek have pulled petitions this week to run as Republicans in District 3, which covers Nunda, southeastern McHenry and northeastern Algonquin townships. If attorney Sarah Jansen decides to join the race – she pulled a petition last week but is not sure about running – the three

challengers and incumbent Joe Gottemoller, R-Crystal Lake, will run in the March 18 primary for two open seats.

District 3 representative Mary McClellan, R-Holiday Hills, who was just elected last year, is one of at least three candidates running for county clerk after longtime Clerk Katherine Schultz announced she would not seek a

seventh term. She is running against fellow County Board member Nick Provenzano, R-McHenry, and county clerk employee Keith Addison of Hebron.

Donner represented District 3 from 2006 until 2012, when she lost by 49 votes in the primary to McClellan.

Fishing, music among attractions at Autumn Fest in SG

By SARAH STRZALKA editorial@nwherald.com SPRING GROVE – Seconds after 9-year-old Ben Vlasak dipped his fishing pole into the water, he pulled out a 10-inch bass.

“Where’d you get it, right under the dock?” Ben’s father, Joe Vlasak, said. “What did I tell you? There’s a whole lake full of fish, you guys.”

Just as soon as he had another worm on the hook and the line back in, Ben pulled out another fish – this time a bluegill.

“That was like three seconds!” he said.

Autumn Fest was held at Hatchery Park in Spring Grove on Saturday, with attendees encouraged to bring their fishing poles.

It was the first time at the hatchery for the Vlasaks of Lindenhurst, who have family in Spring Grove.

In the past, they’ve attended other events around the small village, Joe Vlasak said.

“We’re out here all the time for the Fourth of July parade and any other events,” he said. “It’s a nice, family-oriented town.”

The Vlasaks brought along Ben’s friend Josh Raimondi, gifting him a

Will Kruger performs Saturday during Autumn Fest at the Hatchery Park in Spring Grove. pole as an early birthday present. He used it to reel in a bluegill before tossing the fish back into the pond and trying again for a bass.

Developed by the Illinois Department of Conservation, the first fish crop at the hatchery was produced in 1914.

At its peak, the hatchery spawned

more than 35 million fingerlings per year.

Production continued until 2004 when the state closed the operation.

The building was in disrepair, pond walls were crumbling, and the ponds were overgrown.

2 hired at Algonquin-LITH fire district New employees complete dept.’s restructuring

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com The Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District this week completed the reorganization of its administration by hiring a Chicago firefighter with 34 years of experience as the new assistant chief.

Peter Van Dorpe, who is in charge of the training di-

vision for the Chicago Fire Department, is scheduled to start with Algonquin-Lake in the Hills on Oct. 1.

He is set to earn $111,750 a year.

According to fire district documents, 20 people applied for the position and four were interviewed.

Van Dorpe’s responsibilities will include strategic planning, budget administration, data analysis, policy development and emergency preparedness coordination, among other things.

Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Chief Patrick Mullen said Van Dorpe has

broad experience in the fire protection industry, including in fire suppression, firefighter training and budget management.

The fire district also recently hired Cristiane Randall as the management services director. Randall started work Aug. 26 at an $84,818 annual salary.

Her job includes human resources responsibilities, managing employee benefit programs and risk management, worker’s compensation administration, informational services and data management, supervising occupational health, pro-

cessing payroll, and participating in labor-management and contract administration.

Randall previously worked for the village of Hanover Park in the human resources department. She also has experience in network administration, programming and web design.

“We expect great things from them,” Mullen said.

The additions of Van Dorpe and Randall were the final moves of an administrative restructuring at the fire district.

See DISTRICT, page B5

JOHNSBURG – Golf carts, all-terrain vehicles and other recreational vehicles may join cars and trucks on Johnsburg roads.

The village’s Ordinance Committee discussed allowing these types of nonhighway vehicles on village roads with posted speed limits of 35 mph or less.

“It’s more intended for subdivision use,” said Trustee Rich Janusz, who serves as the committee’s chairman.

The idea was brought to the committee by the village’s police chief because under Illinois law, municipalities can decide whether they want to allow it.

Before a change in the law took effect Jan. 1, 2010, the legality was up for debate.

The legislation clarified the issue, specifying that golf carts, four-wheeled ATVs and other similar nonhighway vehicles may operate only Rich Janusz on streets with a posted speed limit of 35 mph or less.

The drivers of the vehicles must hold a valid Illinois driver’s license, and the vehicles must have brakes, steering, a rearview mirror, headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, reflectors on the front and back, and a slow-moving vehicle sign in the rear.

The committee is looking into the costs that would be associated with installing about 60 signs around the village indicating areas where they are allowed and the police department inspecting and certifying the vehicles, Janusz said.

It also is investigating how other communities handle the recreational vehicles and what other provisions are included in their ordinances.

“A lot is to be considered before we would draft an ordinance,” he said. “[I’m] hesitant especially with the four-wheelers because they flip easier.”

The committee will return to the issue at its October meeting.

“We’re very cautious,” Janusz said. “It’s a touchy subject [because they’re] not the type of vehicle that people are accustomed to seeing on the roads.”

LAKEMOOR: CONSTRUCTION

Rockwell Place roads to finally be finished

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com LAKEMOOR – The roads running through Rockwell Place finally will be finished.

The Lakemoor Village Board approved a $260,000 bid – one of three road projects it approved – at its meeting Thursday evening for Peter Baker & Son Co. to install the final lift of asphalt.

The roads have remained

unfinished over the four years that have passed since Kirk Homes filed for bankruptcy, and they have continued to deteriorate, Village President Todd Weihofen said in a letter to Rockwell Place residents.

“If the roads remain incomplete, it is likely that the entire roadway will need to be replaced,” he said.

The village hopes to recoup the cost of the project through a lawsuit it filed 18 months ago

against two bond companies that provided performance bonds for the subdivision.

The bonds had been bought to ensure the completion of the subdivision’s infrastructure should the developer fail to do so, but the bond companies have denied liability, Weihofen said, adding that he expects the lawsuit to continue for 12 to 18 months.

The completion of other infrastructure repairs and

installations such as streetlights and sidewalks will not be included in this project, Village Administrator David Alarcon said.

Work on the roadway as well as two other road projects will begin in the next two to three weeks and needs to be completed before the asphalt plants close in a month and a half, Alarcon said.

The bids were awarded on the two other road projects at

Thursday meeting.

Peter Baker & Son will resurface 1.14 miles of roads for about $335,000, and All Star Paving was awarded the resurfacing project for the Sullivan Lake subdivision for $81,000.

The 1.14 miles of roads to be resurfaced include Highland Drive from Wegner Road to Valley View Drive, Maplewood Lane from Riverside Drive to its north end,

Rosedale Drive and Hollywood Terrace from Riverside Drive to Sunnyside Road, Pine Grove Road from Lakeview Drive to North Lake Road, Sheridan Road from Lakeview Parkway to Belvidere Road, 430 feet of Herbert Road north of West Sheridan Road, 70 feet of West Sheridan Road and Barbara Lane east of Lily Lake Road, and 460 feet of Concrete Drive west of Fox Lake Road.

City mulls letting dealerships display vehicles on grass

District 46 passes balanced budget

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – The distance between the drivers heading down Route 31 and the cars on display at Gary Lang Auto Group has been a disadvantage to the dealership for years, its owner said.

That’s why Gary Lang asked the city for permission to park some cars on the grass, closer to the road.

The McHenry City Council will vote on an ordinance authorizing the change at its meeting Monday evening.

The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the ordinance in mid-August in a 5-2 vote, and a vote to reject it failed 3-4.

Commissioner Bill Buhrman originally had voted

against the plan, raising concerns about whether the vehicles would detract from the look of the property, but ultimately voted in favor of it, according to meeting minutes.

Eight car dealerships and one motorcycle dealership are in the city limits, according to council documents.

The changes would affect only Gary Lang Auto Group and Buss Ford because they have large grass setbacks.

The proposed ordinance would allow one vehicle per 100 feet of property frontage, which means Gary Lang could display 11 vehicles and Buss Ford would be allowed to display seven vehicles along Front Street and six along Dartmoor Drive, according to council documents.

The proposal also stipulates that the grass beneath the vehicles would have to be maintained and the vehicles cannot be displayed on the grass over the winter. Ramps would not be allowed on the grass.

The vehicles also could not create any line-of-sight problems, their lights must remain off, their hoods and doors must be closed, and they must be evenly spaced across the full property frontage, according to council doc-

In “Canning Basics,” the history of canning and usefulness in food preservation will come alive as “Dilly Beans” are prepared with green beans from the Colonel Palmer House garden.

This program will be from

6:30 to 9 p.m. Tuesday in Mrs. Palmer’s kitchen at the Colonel Palmer House, 660 E. Terra Cotta Road, Crystal Lake.

The cost is $15 for Crystal Lake Park District residents and $20 for nonresidents.

If you go The McHenry City Council will meet at 7:30 p.m. Monday in the council chambers of City Hall, 333 S. Green St.

uments.

“The cars are clean,” Lang said. “The cars are displayed in a tasteful matter. From an aesthetics standpoint, it should look as good or better than any other display.”

While Alderwoman Geri Condon originally had doubts about the proposal, she said she’s had a change of heart.

“I do think Gary Lang has been put to a disadvantage by previous council,” she said, “in a community where we do need to watch out for every business, yes, in terms of taxes, but also in terms of community service.”

Condon added, though, that she never decides for sure how she’ll vote until she’s heard everyone’s thoughts at the meeting.

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com PRAIRIE GROVE – Despite an expanded Spanish language program and a trimester schedule, District 46’s budget looks much the same as it did last year.

The District 46 school board approved the budget, which has a $881,000 surplus in the education fund, at its meeting this week.

The budget includes some “slight adjustments,” Superintendent Lynette Zimmer said.

The district expects to bring in $10.99 million this fiscal year, and the budget allocates $10.12 million of that, increases of about $100,000 on each end.

The budget doesn’t include much in the way of capital improvement projects, but the district is in the middle of developing a five-year plan, Zimmer said.

The board had “a lot of momentum” before the April elections, but with several new faces, work on the plan had temporarily been put on hold.

District staff members have a meeting with the architect set for Monday, and they plan on putting together a presentation to give to the board in October to catch up new members.

The plan probably will be completed this year, Zimmer said, which would make the first year of the five-year plan fiscal 2014-15.

While discussions include items such as how much it would cost to install air conditioning in the elementary school, it also includes larger-scale questions such as how technology fits in and whether the district would move toward different types of learning spaces such as pods instead of traditional classrooms, Zimmer said.

The board also will grapple with how declining enrollment fits into the picture, she said.

The district has 40 fewer students this year than the 915 it had last year.

This would be the district’s first facilities plan in a while, Zimmer said.

District 156 homecoming parade’s date moves, powder puff returns

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – The homecoming parade for District 156 will be marching down Green Street on a different day this year.

The parade was moved to a Thursday from its traditional step-off on a Friday because the district already had an early release for staff development planned for homecoming week’s Friday, said Carl Vallianatos, assistant principal at McHenry West High School.

The parade will start about 1:50 p.m. Sept. 26 – the start time depends on when

the rally scheduled for 1 p.m. at McCracken Athletic Field ends – and will leave from the parking lot of Knox Park’s Pete J. Merkel Aquatic Center.

The floats, which are being made that week, will head north on Green Street, stopping at North Green and Waukegan streets on the north side of McHenry East High School.

Parking in Knox Park pool’s parking lot will be for parade floats and vehicles only.

Homecoming week in McHenry also marks the return of powder puff football, Vallianatos said.

East and West campuses will compete Sept. 25 at McCracken Athletic Field, at the corner of Kane Avenue and North Green Street.

The junior game will start at 6:30 p.m., followed by the coronation around 7:45 p.m.

The night will conclude with the senior game, to start sometime around 8 p.m.

Powder puff had been eliminated from the homecoming festivities about a decade ago because of misbehavior, Vallianatos said.

It continued unofficially over the years with students and parents organizing it, but the district decided to bring it back for this year, he said.

“What is the difference between Duct Cleaning & Duct Sealing?”

50% OFF Now Thru Sept. 17th!

Authorized Sale

Duct Cleaning is basically brushing the inside of the ducts with various types of machines that also vacuum out the debris. When completed, many homeowners have the ductwork “sanitized’; especially if there was a mold or mildew problem Duct Sealing is a revolutionary, newer concept that can save you money on your heating & cooling bills, and also improve the overall comfort in your home.

Some of the key elements of duct sealing are: • Patent-designed product at UC –Berkeley, with funding from various governmental agencies.

• Seals leaks within your ductwork from the inside. The net result is an average savings of 30% on your heating & cooling cost.

• The duct system is first pressurized, and then the product is injected. As the air tries to escape via the small openings throughout the duct system, this product adheres to the edges of these holes and builds up a layer until it seals the holes.

When completed, this product has a “rubbery” feel to it, and it is guaranteed for 10 years.

• Has a stamp of approval from OSHA and the EPA. If your home has areas of uneven temperature, or you are not getting good airflow, Duct Sealing could be the solution to your problems.

31-176 intersection still a mess to be avoided Completion date set for late fall for Interstate 90, Route 47, $69 million project as delays continue

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com • ROUTES 31 AND 176: The $10.18 million widening and modernizing of the intersection of Routes 31 and 176 is still a nightmare. You may want to find an alternate north-south route during peak travel hours.

• KREUTZER ROAD: Kreutzer Road west of Route 47 is closed as part of the project to extend the road west to Main Street. Drivers still can access the shopping center south of the closed stretch through access points along Route 47.

The closure is expected to last a month to six weeks.

• ROUTE 31: Expect delays because of lane pattern shifts

on Route 31 in the vicinity of Cary Road. Of course, several other projects involving Route 31 in Crystal Lake and Algonquin already are making the drive exciting and fun-filled.

• WESTERN BYPASS: Watch for workers and delays as workers continue a $33 million project to build a 2-mile, four-lane highway west of downtown Algonquin to relieve congestion on Route 31.

Algonquin Road between Main Street and Meyer Drive will be down to one lane through this fall. Watch for lane closures on Route 31/ Main Street. South Main Street has one lane closed between Edgewood and Huntington drives, and North Main Street has one

lane closed between Cary-Algonquin Road and Linden Avenue.

Huntington Drive will remain closed between Circle Drive and South Main Street through summer 2014. A detour to Edgewood Drive is posted.

• JOHNSBURG ROAD: Only westbound traffic is allowed to travel along the road from Chapel Hill Road to Cherokee Drive. Eastbound traffic is being rerouted through a Route 31, Route 120, Chapel Hill Road detour.

Construction this week will focus on rebuilding and paving Spring Grove Road, so watch for flaggers at the start of the week during work hours.

• ROUTE 22: Repaving work

is ongoing on Route 22 from Route 14 to Route 12. Work is expected to be finished in October.

Also watch out for emergency vehicles, given that Route 22 is the main access to Advocate Good Shepherd.

Road workers will be giving priority to those vehicles.

• INTERSTATE 90 AND ROUTE 47: Be prepared for delays along Route 47 as work continues to create a full interchange. The completion date for the $69 million project is set for late fall.

• CHARLES J. MILLER ROAD: Work is ongoing to create another two-lane span over the Fox River and widen Miller Road to four lanes with dedicated turn lanes from Route 31 to River Road.

RL

The first phase, which consists primarily of building the new span and improving the intersection of Miller and River roads, will cost about $12 million and is anticipated to be finished by the end of October, weather permitting.

• ROUTE 120: Expect delays because of a $2.2 million resurfacing project between Route 14 and Charles Road through Woodstock.

• LAWRENCE ROAD BRIDGE: Lawrence Road is down to one lane with a temporary traffic signal as workers replace the bridge over Piscasaw Creek. Weidner Road is closed at its intersection with Lawrence Road. The project is scheduled to be finished at the end of October.

• HILL ROAD BRIDGE: Hill Road southeast of Richmond remains closed while workers replace a bridge over the north branch of Nippersink Creek. Work is expected to be finished this month.

People sit on hay bales during a hay ride at Autumn Fest in Spring Grove.

Hatchery in SG has ‘lot of history’ • HATCHERY Continued from page B1 Ownership of the property was eventually turned over to Spring Grove, with the village receiving the deed in 2007.

Restoration has been underway since.

With three of his own kids and three more from the

neighborhood along with him, Joshua Roberts toured the visitors center for a bit of hatchery history.

“Tens of thousands of fish would be in here until they were big enough to go outside,” he told three of the kids as they pointed out fish in the raceways, or rearing tanks, inside the visitors center.

About a year ago, Roberts

moved in to a place only about a block away; it was his first time at the hatchery.

“In walking down the path down here, they had all the different bays and each sign with what was in there,” Roberts said. “They had like 100-pound sturgeon. It’s really cool that this place has been open that long. There’s a lot of history to learn about.”

Dr. C. Matesi Licensed General Dentist

By Dr. M. Shakeel LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO NOT FULLY ENJOY EACH AND EVERY REASON TO SMILE If you find yourself avoiding family photos, first impressions or even savoring your favorite foods, Dr. Shakeel’s unique dental implant techniques offer the solutions you’ve been searching for.

The All-On-Four Dental Implants procedure - Teeth in a Day - offers simple, reliable and long-lasting results for patients who are missing teeth or experiencing the frustrations of loose, decayed and broken teeth. Though advanced technology and innovative techniques, dental implants are easier to place, less invasive and have a successful rate of over 95%.

WHY DR. SHAKEEL? With years of experience in the field, Dr. Shakeel is a highly respected expert in the placement and restoration of dental implants from a single missing tooth to the entire upper and lower arch. His background in dental implant surgery provides a strong foundation that ensures medically safe and aesthetically beautiful results.

Furthermore, Dr. Shakeel received extensive hands-on training and assisted with numerous successful cases, under the guidance of the pioneer of the All-on-Four procedure, Dr. Paulo Malo of Portugal (2010). Few in the dental industry possess his mastery of the combined surgical and prosthetic demands of successful implant dentistry, especially executing the All-On-Four procedure.

IDEAL PATIENTS The All-On-Four technique is for patients dissatisfied with their current dentures or for those who have

no practical alternatives for saving their remaining teeth. In most all cases, patients lacking the bone volume required to support traditional implants are able to enjoy the many benefits of a permanent solution to missing teeth through the All-OnFour procedure.

THE TEETH IN A DAY PROCESS This amazing technique enables you to achieve a beautiful, new Smile in a Day by utilizing four implants placed in each arch to which the replacement teeth are securely attached. Gentle oral sedation assures that you receive maximum safety and comfort throughout the procedure.

In addition, the entire process, including any necessary extractions, can be completed in one day with minimal recovery time. The result is a fully functional set of teeth that look and feel natural, improves your self-confidence and allows you to once again experience the foods and activities you enjoy most.

DISCOVER THE BENEFITS • Requires minimal recovery • Reduces overall cost when compared to single implants • Eliminates the need for bone grafting in most all cases • Allows for easy maintenance through proper oral hygiene • Restores the ability to eat all types of foods • Relieves the many frustrations of removable appliances • Ensures long-term results with the potential to last a lifetime • Renews a youthful appearance through bone level stabilization • Creates a whole new smile in just one day • Enhances self-confidence and overall quality of life For more information on Teeth in a Day or on All-On-Four Dental Implants, contact:

Dr. Shakeel Signature Dental Group 815-455-3300 www.signaturedentalgroup.com

All procedures are done under conscious sedation to ensure patient comfort and safety. Dr Shakeel and Dr Sinha hold anesthesia permits in the state of Illinois.

VIKINGS AT BEARS, NOON SUNDAY, FOX, AM-780, FM-105.9

Bears will be .500 team if they take Vikings lightly

AP file photo

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson will be the focus of the Bears’ defense Sunday at Soldier Field.

PREP FOOTBALL: MARIAN CENTRAL 81 GUERIN 7

With all of the buildup to the opener against the Bengals and the Bears prevailing over a quality opponent, it will be difficult to take the Vikings as seriously.

Some will be tempted to put this one in the win column before taking a hard look at the task at hand.

That would be a huge mistake.

While the Vikings are a better matchup for the Bears, the fact is they have an awful lot in common with the Bengals. Have we forgotten already Minnesota had an identical 10-6 record to Cincinnati last year and, like the Bengals, were first-round playoff losers?

Can we ignore the fact it was the Vikings who knocked the Bears out of a playoff spot last season with a superior record in the NFC North and a fairly sound 21-14 thumping in Minnesota in Week 14 last year?

Bears Gameday

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush Take the Vikings lightly at your own peril, and if the Bears do Sunday, they’ll be 1-1.

The biggest difference in the Vikings and the Bengals is Andy Dalton is a quarterback who can beat you while Minnesota’s Christian Ponder is more likely to beat himself.

After an allegedly strong preseason, Ponder struggled in the Vikings opener in Detroit, going 18 for 28 for 236 yards, one touchdown but throwing three picks.

Guerin’s quick TD wakes up Marian

NIU commits 11 penalties in comeback win

RIVER GROVE – Chalk it up to underestimating its opponent or playing on a Saturday afternoon, but Marian Central didn’t start the game the way it wanted against Guerin.

The Gators stunned Marian by returning the opening kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown, grabbing a 7-0 lead 13 seconds into the game. Unhappy with the sequence, the Hurricanes responded by scoring 81 unanswered points to cruise to an 81-7 Suburban Christian Conference win.

The Hurricanes (3-0, 1-0 SCC Blue) scored on 11 of their 12 possessions, their lone stop coming on the final drive when they took a knee at Guerin’s 10-yard line to run out the clock in the final minute.

“We knew we needed to respond right away,” Marian junior quarterback Billy Bahl said.

“We came out and weren’t really pumped up, weren’t really ready for this, and they came out and punched us right in the mouth.

That really woke us up.”

Trailing Guerin 7-0, Bahl led Marian down the field in five plays, finding senior wide receiver Tom Klinger for a 20-yard touchdown to tie the score.

MOSCOW, Idaho – Things just weren’t going right for Northern Illinois.

Penalties hurt the Huskies as Idaho drove right down the field for a touchdown on its first drive Saturday. Not enough The Huskies would go on to commit 11 Illinois falls to penalties for 107 No. 19 Washington, yards.

34-24, at Soldier The Huskies’ Field. PAGE C9 defense had trouble containing Idaho’s zone read game. Always-reliable kicker Mathew Sims missed a 42-yard field goal early in the second half.

The Vandals (0-3) gave NIU everything they had inside the Kibbie Dome. However, something clicked in the second half for the Huskies, who escaped with a 45-35 win.

For NIU, the bottom line is the Huskies improved to 2-0 for the first time since 2003. On the flip side, there’s things the Huskies need to clean up, such as the penalties.

“I won’t mince words on that. Penalties are not acceptable. They drive me crazy,” NIU coach Rod Carey said.

“You’ve got to love the win. You’ve got to take the win, and in that 24 hours we’ve got to love it, but we’ve got to own up to it, too.”

After trailing by seven points at halftime, NIU turned things around.

The offense was more consistent, and Lynch finally broke through on the patented QB draw with a 61-yard touchdown run.

Giants run out of gas, hurt by mistakes

By PATRICK MASON pmason@shawmedia.com HEBRON – Alden-Hebron football coach John Lalor told his team after Saturday’s 3121 Northeastern Athletic Conference loss to Chicago Hope to be prepared to run during Tuesday’s practice.

The Giants (2-1 overall, 2-1 NAC) sputtered mentally and physically during the second half of the back-and-forth game and couldn’t overcome the slew of mistakes that breathed life into the Eagles.

The game began on a high note for the Giants, who were the more aggressive team

to start. The Giants were forced to punt on the first drive of the game, but a 43-yard punt pinned the Eagles (2-1, 2-1) on their own 1-yard line. The Giants’ defense sniffed out three straight dive plays, and on third down linebacker Nate Peterson sacked Eagles quarterback Ricky Mancilla in the end zone for a safety.

Johnsburg almost forced overtime, but its comeback bid fell short this week in a 28-21 loss to Grayslake Central, which marked the Skyhawks’ 24th consecutive football loss. Sports editor Jon Styf and columnist Tom Musick discuss:

Musick: We’re taught to be unbiased in journalism school, but that always seemed like kind of a joke to me. Let’s be real. Of course we’re biased. And Thursday night, I was rooting for Johnsburg to get a win.

Styf: It’s been a long time coming, so I can hear you on that. We were just hoping they would make a game of it here. They did that.

The rest is up to them. The question now becomes whether or not the Skyhawks can win a game this year, or if they’ll be reading all about their 30-game losing streak heading into 2014.

Musick: It’s impossible to know for sure, but I would bet on Johnsburg making a dent in the win column this season. It’s clear that head coach Mike Maloney has the program pointed in a positive direction, and it’s only a matter of time until the players’ hard work pays off. When they fell behind, 28-7, I thought, “Uh oh. This could get ugly.” But instead of losing 42-7 or worse, they battled back and came within one score of forcing overtime. That was a good sign.

Styf: I will be the wet blanket now on this whole happy story. Getting a win will be tough, because they have a tough schedule ahead. It seems to be the reason the Skyhawks, who have just 27 players, are getting out of the Fox Valley Conference. I don’t see them beating Grayslake North, Crystal Lake South, Hampshire or Crystal Lake Central.

So, their best shots will be Oct. 4 when they host Woodstock and when they head to Woodstock North the week before.

Musick: No question, the FVC is filled with challenges. Ultimately, though, Johnsburg will have chances to win as long as they do not beat themselves with bad penalties or individual breakdowns. The Skyhawks struggled badly to score points in recent seasons, but that is not the case this year as they have a talented quarterback in Nick Brengman.

Styf: A quarterback who was in middle school the last time the Skyhawks won. This isn’t Prairie View A&M or the Bad News Bears (I have honestly never seen it, so I hope the reference is right) here. They’re a team that could probably be pretty competitive in the Big Northern Conference. They just don’t happen to be there yet. So they get to play big schools like Crystal Lake South and Central and they don’t usually win.

Musick: They compete, though, and that’s where you have to start. And you know what? They’re starting to earn a fan base across the region. I heard from a self-described “grandma from McHenry” today who has no ties to Johnsburg but has been following all of their games, hoping for a victory. I’m guessing many other readers out there share her sentiment. It’s refreshing to see that support.

Styf: It’s certainly much better than the alternative. Because we’ve all seen that happen too many times with teams that don’t win.

Positivety is a great momentum-builder.

When Dundee-Crown’s football team slipped past Crystal Lake South, 14-13, on Friday night, the Chargers improved to 3-0 for the first time since 1993.

For third-year coach Vito Andriola, who won three games total during his first two seasons in Carpentersville, the victory was especially gratifying, proving that his methods are finally starting to pay off.

The thing that made (Friday’s win) really cool was that we’ve put in so much time – the kids have and the coaches have – in trying to change the culture. That’s been the hardest thing for me – changing the culture and raising the expectations. For myself, it’s just doing what we’ve done every place we’ve been, but it’s been difficult.

I hate (losing). It’s just horrible and with all due respect, I’m not used to it. I don’t take losing really good, but I take poor work ethic and character worse. And to me, those are all hooked together.

Those are things we’re trying to change here. No one understands football like a football coach. You work 6½ days for one game. You’re taking 30 to 40 hours of your time. That’s the thing about football that people really don’t understand is that how much time you invest and then you play 48 minutes and it could come down to one play. To me, those things make football so unique and that’s why I love it. It’s so much like life.

It’s like anything else – the more you invest in something, the harder it is to realize failure. We talk about that ours is a program of commitment, not involvement. So if you’re committed, the failure really hurts. It does. It hurts when you lose or when you don’t succeed. And let’s not say lose – if we play as hard as we can and we don’t succeed, that’s not losing. I always say this to the kids: Don’t tell me that there’s only eight successful teams at the end of the season – the eight state champs. My goal as an educator and the teacher is to do the best they can do. That’s my goal because there’s a saying that a lot of times, people have expectations that are so low and they’re always reaching them.

We talk about being a family and playing for each other. We coach for them, but sometimes, I’m really hard on them. But I tell them, sometimes, you get (angry) with your parents and so you’re going to get (angry) at me sometimes. And that’s OK. But we always say this: We show our care through our concern and that’s just how it is. I always tell the kids that, when I stop yelling at them, that’s when they should start worrying. But it’s always better when (kids) are playing for yourself, your school and maybe for someone else because it makes it harder. Sometimes, when you’re by yourself, it’s easy to let yourself down. But it’s hard to let Dundee-Crown down and the community and the coaches, because again, we’ve worked so hard at it.

We’re lucky because everything we’ve been telling them has been coming true. Sometimes (in the past) they were happy if they finished the game – who cares about the score? Now, we’re talking about making the playoffs. But I’ve always said this: We have a philosophy we’ve had everywhere we’ve been. I think that the program wins three games, the coaches win three games and when you’re really good, the players win three games. Look at CaryGrove. Their coaching staff and their program (each) wins three games every year – that’s six games and then their players come through and that’s what we want to be like. I believe that with my heart because those are the consistent things.

From “She’s the Man” when Duke says: “It’s just like what Coach says before every game: Be not afraid of greatness, some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.”

5.

When you were younger, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be a lot of things when I was little. I wanted to be an Olympic gymnast and a dolphin or seal trainer. And a teacher.

We can’t all be Jim Furyk

BMW CHAMPIONSHIP

Furyk takes 1-shot lead after slow start

By DOUG FERGUSON

VIEWS Tom Musick LAKE FOREST – Let me take a wild guess: You are bad at golf.

Hey, don’t feel ashamed. I am bad at golf, too. Ridiculously bad.

But these guys? The ones playing in the BMW Championship at Conway Farms?

They are good at golf.

Ridiculously good.

Take Jim Furyk, for example. You know his story by now. On Friday, the 43-yearold Pennsylvania native shot a 28 on the front nine – a 28!!!

– and a 31 on the back nine to become the sixth golfer in PGA Tour history to shoot a 59.

It’s not just Furyk, though.

Everywhere I looked this week, unbelievable golfers were launching beeline drives, lofting gentle wedge shots, tapping perfect putts.

None of this seemed fair.

Please, someone, anyone.

Tell me you are bad at something.

“There’s a lot of things I’m still bad at,” said Jason Dufner, who won his first major last month when he held off Furyk to take the PGA Championship. “I’m awful at billiards. I don’t play it. I’m pretty bad at bowling. I don’t bowl anymore.”

OK. I was feeling a little bit better.

But Dufner is a nice guy, an everyman, an insta-friend to those who meet him.

How about some young hotshot?

Jordan Spieth, who recently turned 20 years old, is one of golf’s rising stars. He became the youngest winner on the PGA Tour in more than 80 years when he won the John Deere Classic this summer near the Quad Cities.

Hey, kid. Tell me you are bad at something.

“I grew up playing all

Jim Furyk watches his tee shot on the eighth hole Friday during the second round of the BMW Championship at Conway Farms in Lake Forest. Furyk posted a 59, tying the PGA Tour record. sports,” Spieth said. “So, yeah, I obviously wasn’t great at any of the other ones. That’s why I’m only playing this one now.”

This sounded like a lie.

Those who struggle in gym class don’t end up settling for careers as professional golfers. Otherwise, most of us would be professional golfers.

I was feeling worse.

Spieth offered a more specific example.

“I wasn’t great playing outside linebacker when I was really young,” Spieth said. “I loved offense a lot more than defense. I never really could get in the right spots or read the cuts. I fell out of the defensive lineup pretty easily.”

Yeah, but Spieth grew up in Texas. That place is filled with great football players.

If he had grown up in some other state, he could have been a star linebacker.

“I still wouldn’t have been good,” Spieth said. “I promise.”

OK. I was feeling better again.

So maybe golf drives me crazy. So maybe golf makes me feel like a little kid trying to ride his bike for the first time. And falling down. And falling down. And falling down.

“Golf is a game that is going to drive you crazy at any given point,” Rory Sabbatini said.

Even for pros?

“Oh, yeah,” said Sabbatini,

a six-time PGA Tour winner who has earned millions in his career. “It’s like anything.

It’s a game that cannot be perfected, so the challenge in it is trying to deal with the imperfections.”

D.A. Points agreed. Points was born in Pekin and attended the University of Illinois before he embarked on a long, lucrative career on the PGA Tour.

Even now, Points said, golf could drive him crazy.

“Sure,” Points said. “But it’s my job. Everybody’s job drives everybody crazy. It just comes with the territory.”

And when golf isn’t your job, it’s an escape.

That’s the beauty of the game for people like us.

“The great thing about golf is you can get out and enjoy your friends,” Dufner said.

“The handicap system can make it fair for everybody.

You can have matches with guys that are really good players or guys that are a little bit better, a little bit worse.

“The other sports, you’re kind of on your own to be bad at.”

Yes, I definitely was feeling better. Maybe it was possible to be bad without getting mad.

Thanks, guys.

LAKE FOREST – Jim Furyk put his 59 behind him with a round that was 10 shots higher in the BMW Championship. All that mattered was having a chance to win, which made Saturday a success.

Furyk recovered from a sluggish start with three birdies in a five-hole stretch around the turn. A three-putt bogey from 30 feet on the par-5 18th forced him to settle for a 2-under-par 69 and a one-shot lead over Steve Stricker.

“The goal was to go out and shoot a good number today, get myself in position to win this golf tournament,” Furyk said. “It could have been better out there. ... Obviously, I dropped that shot at 18, which I’m disappointed. It was probably one of the easier holes of the day. But I’ve got myself in good position, so rather

than harp on the last hole, I’d probably tend to want to think about tomorrow and what I have to do to try to win a golf tournament.”

It was a far different finish from Friday, when Furyk hit a wedge to 3 feet for birdie on his final hole (No. 9) for a 12-under 59, becoming only the sixth player in PGA Tour history to hit golf’s magic number.

No one expected another round like that from him – though Matt Kuchar had a 61 in the morning when conditions were calm – with firm fairways, fast greens and increasing wind. Three other players who had 59 in an earlier round followed with anything better than 68, but Furyk did enough to give himself another chance to end three years without a victory.

But his work is far from over. He was at 13-under 200 and will be paired in the final

group with longtime friend Stricker, who holed out for eagle from the 15th fairway and had a 64.

Brandt Snedeker, tied with Furyk to start the third round, got up-and-down from behind the 18th green for birdie to get back to even-par 71 for the day and remain in the hunt just two shots behind.

And very much in the picture was Tiger Woods, who made it through the day without any drama.

Woods still objected to the two-shot penalty he was given after his second round for his ball moving ever so slightly as he tried to remove a small stick next to it. And he played Saturday before a massive crowd with Sergio Garcia, their first time together since Garcia ended some verbal sparring by jokingly saying he would have Woods over for dinner during the U.S. Open and serve him fried chicken.

CROSS COUNTRY: WAUCONDA INVITATIONAL

McHenry’s Opatrny runs to 2nd in return C-G girls No. 1; Warriors’ Reiser wins boys race

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com WAUCONDA – One area runner beamed with her successful comeback to competition at Saturday’s Wauconda Cross Country Invitational, while another sobbed after being held back by another injury.

McHenry junior Lauren Opatrny kicked into high gear in the final 200 meters, passed a few runners and took second on the 3-mile course at Lakewood Forest Preserve in her first race back from a strained hip.

Crystal Lake Central’s Sami Staples, the 2011 Class 2A state champion, looked strong early, but turned her right ankle and struggled through the rest of the race. Staples had her right foot in a stability boot for nine weeks over the summer but had returned to training and felt ready before Saturday’s race.

McHenry’s Jesse Reiser found some tough competition from Wheaton Warrenville South’s Nolan McKenna but repeated as the boys’ meet champion. Cary-Grove’s girls, led

by Talia Duzey’s fourth-place finish and Morgan Schulz’s sixth, took first with 88 points, four better than Lake Zurich.

Times were not available after the meet because of a computer malfunction while recording the results. Opatrny thought her time was about 18:20.

“I was surprised. I would have

been happy with anything in the top 15 after being out for three weeks,” Opatrny said. “I’m just really excited. I was feeling good [at the end]. I didn’t feel any pain and wanted to leave it all out there. I just figured I’d go for it.”

Central’s Maddie Dagley was fifth and Lauren Mary Fleming was Opatrny seventh as the Tigers were third with 97 points. Had Staples not suffered her mishap, the Tigers might have won the team title. Crystal Lake South’s Kiley Britten took 10th.

“There was a little bit of a slant on a hill and it was sandy, and I slipped off the edge and rolled it pretty bad,” Staples said. “I wouldn’t stop because we could still use the team points.”

Staples cross-trained in a swimming pool over the summer to stay in shape while recovering from a stress fracture in her right foot. She had a similar injury in 2012.

“I started training [on land] when I could and I’ve felt great so far this season,” said Staples, who was 63rd and whose score did not count for Central. “It felt great [early in the race]. I didn’t feel like I was pushing. I felt like I was going to blow them off in the third mile.”

C-G coach Mark Anderson was pleased with his team after not competing since the McHenry County Meet two weeks earlier.

“They haven’t raced for a while.

They were a little nervous,” Anderson said. “They ran great. Every kid in that top seven had a great race.

I’m really happy with what they’re showing me.”

Gretchen Price was 20th, Sarah

Riley was 23rd and Molly MacDuff was 35th for the Trojans’ counting scores.

“I felt a lot stronger than at county because it was more of a controlled race,” Duzey said. “Gretchen and Morgan did really well. We all had strong races.”

Reiser figured he would get a tough race from McKenna and was pushed for the first time this season.

“I knew Nolan was going to be with me the whole time because he beat me at state [track] in the 3,200, he’s a stud,” Reiser said. “Until the last 600 meters, I started to go with it there and he fell off. After turns I was trying to surge a little bit more.”

Crystal Lake Central’s boys finished third with 116 points, behind Chicago Lane (47) and Wheaton-Warrenville South (53). Central’s Ryan Pitner took sixth place.

GIRLS ROUNDUP

Woodstock’s Beattie races to Peoria title Chicago Christian 4, Marian Central 1:

NORTHWEST HERALD Woodstock senior Maura Beattie had another strong race, on the course she hopes to run again in less than two months, but did not feel like the real winner Saturday.

Beattie and Riverside-Brookfield’s Mailin Struck battled down the stretch in the First to the Finish Invitational at Peoria’s Detweiller Park when something strange happened.

After Struck passed Beattie, she apparently got confused and kept running along with some of the slower runners they were passing, as if she was going for another loop. Beattie veered to the left as she was supposed to and crossed the finish line in 16:52.50 for first in Class 2A. Struck, who eventually turned around, finished in 17:37.41 in third place.

The two likely will see each other in November at the IHSA Cross Country State Meet at Detweiller.

Woodstock freshman Kate Jacobs took 17th to help the Blue Streaks take sixth as a team. Marengo’s Kitty Allen took seventh, and the Indians were 10th as a team in Class 2A. Jacobs’ Lauren Van Vlierbergen took third in the Class 3A, leading the Golden Eagles to 11th as a team. “[Winning] felt kind of different,” Beattie said. “I was telling people at the finish that she had kept going. I was really happy with my time and this part of the season so far. It was really good. I knew I was going to see good competition.”

Beattie led most of the race, but Struck passed her in the final 400 meters. On the Detweiller course, runners make two loops and stay to the right for the second one. On their second time around the course, they are supposed to veer left for the finish line.

Alden-Hebron senior Marcus Heaver (center) fights for yardage as he is tackled by the Chicago Hope defense Saturday in Hebron. A-H lost the Northeastern Athletic Conference game, 31-21.

Late interceptions seal victory for Hope • ALDEN-HEBRON Continued from page C1 But any gained momentum was halted as the Eagles came back and scored a touchdown behind their explosive run game, which wore down the Giants’ defense throughout.

The Eagles totaled 251 yards on the ground and four rushing touchdowns. The speed and strength of the Eagles’ rushing attack was something the Giants weren’t ready for.

“It kind of surprised us,” A-H fullback and defensive back Nick Beck said. “They were pretty fast, and it caught us off guard a

bit. Speed is something you hear about, but it’s hard to duplicate in practice.

“It was a bit of a wake-up call.”

The A-H defense kept the Eagles’ backs in check for the first half, allowing 71 rushing yards, while the Giants’ offense was effective, rushing for 99 yards and keeping their defense off the field.

The first-half effort gave the Giants a 15-12 lead at the break, but there wasn’t much left in the tank in the second half, as tired legs caught up with the Giants.

“I had a senior wanting to come off the field,” Lalor said. “I asked if he was hurt, and he said ‘no.’ I don’t understand it.”

Cashmore completed 11 of 23 passes for 122 yards and accounted for three touchdowns, one passing and two rushing. He was intercepted on the Giants’ first fourth-quarter drive, and their next drive ended with a high snap on a punt, which the Eagles scooped up and ran in for a touchdown. Cashmore was intercepted again on the next drive to seal the win for the Eagles.

“We have to be better as a team,” Cashmore said. “We just lost it at the end. I know I have to be better as well. It’s something that can be fixed, and I know we’re going to have a better week of practice this week because of this game.”

Hurricanes’ Lee scores 5 TDs in romp • MARIAN Continued from page C1 Bahl again connected with Klinger on their next possession, this time for a 15-yard scoring pass to put the Hurricanes ahead 13-7. Bahl finished 7 for 10 with 146 yards and three touchdowns in his one half of action.

“I have to be very honest with you, I don’t think we played very well,” Marian coach Ed Brucker said. “Our kickoff team didn’t converge very well. We’ve been working on that. ... We just didn’t get up for the game.”

Marian running back Ephraim Lee proved to be unstoppable against Guerin (2-1, 0-1 SCC Gold Division). Lee amassed 114 yards on 10 carries and scored five touchdowns, one on a screen pass that went for 60 yards.

“When they first scored, it was kind of like, we’ve got to get ready and we’ve got to get focused,” Lee said. “Even though the opening kick got us down a bit, we picked it back up and realized we have to play to our level of expectations.”

One of the Hurricanes’ goals against Guerin was to give up less than 20 yards. After the Ga-

tors’ touchdown off the kick return, the defense was determined to shut them down. They followed through. Marian held the Gators to 10 yards (minus-18 rushing) of offense in the first half, and Guerin finished the game with 8 yards. The Marian defense did not let the Gators’ offense past midfield.

Marian had eight rushing touchdowns, including two by sophomore Jaryd Cabusao.

Klinger also had an interception he returned for a 50-yard touchdown in addition to his two receiving touchdowns.

BOYS ROUNDUP

Marian soccer team tops Chicago Christian, improves to 3-0 in SCC NORTHWEST HERALD After starting the season 0-3, the Marian Central boys soccer team has turned it around by winning five in a row, including a 4-2 Suburban Christian Conference victory over Chicago Christian on Saturday in Woodstock.

The resurgence by the Hurricanes (5-3 overall, 3-0 SCC) has been fueled by the play of Connor Hull and Bryan Hart.

Hull and Hart each had a goal and an assist Saturday, the fifth straight game in which both have had either a goal or

an assist. It has been six out of seven for Hull.

Hull and Hart both scored in the first half, as well as teammate Hunter Labas, to help the Hurricanes take a 3-0 lead into halftime. Chicago Christian tried to mount a comeback, scoring two goals in the second-half, but a fourth Hurricane goal by Patrick Majzner put the game out of reach. Majzner also had an assist.

The Hurricanes used two goalkeepers in the win: Ryan Przybysz made two saves, and Jake Higgins made one. Marian will try to keep their confer-

ence record perfect when they visit St. Edward on Tuesday.

Rolling Meadows 3, CL South 0: At Rolling Meadows, the Gators (3-4-2) had three shots on goal but were unable to score in the loss. Guz Alvarez made seven saves for South.

Huntley 2, West Chicago 1: Huntley (8-0-1) continued its early season success in the first round of the Pepsi Showdown.

Niko Mihalopolous and Jakob Rys scored goals. The winning goal by Rys came with just over 10 minutes left in the game.

Tommy Helm made four saves for Huntley.

Woodstock 1, Marengo 0: At Woodstock, freshman Will Maidment slid a pass through two defenders to Julio Arias for the lone goal as the Blue Streaks (2-5-1) defeated the Indians in a nonconference match.

Arias’ eighth goal of the season came midway through the second half. Zach Stone had four saves for the Streaks.

Woodstock coach Mike Golda said Marengo had some close calls, including hitting a goal post.

Aldeen in Rockford, Jacobs won behind three individuals finishing in the top 10. Justin Lenzini tied for fourth with a 75, and Chris Boyle and Jack Ramsett tied for seventh with 76s. Jacobs had 307 strokes.

Crystal Lake Central took third with a 324 total. Jordan Schoenfeld finished in a tie for fourth with a 75. Paul Schlimm and Michael Tobin shot 81s for the Tigers.

Hampshire was 10th and was led by Geoff Beck’s 78.

PITTSBURGH – Gerrit Cole pitched seven strong innings and got home run help from Marlon Byrd and Jose Tabata, leading the Pittsburgh Pirates past the Cubs, 2-1, Saturday.

Cole (8-7) gave up one run and five hits. The rookie struck out seven and walked three.

The Cubs scored their run on Nate Schierholtz’s RBI double to right-center in the first inning. Anthony Rizzo also tried to score on the hit from first base, but was thrown out on a strong relay from Byrd to second baseman Neil Walker to the plate.

Scott Baker pitched well again in his second start with the Cubs since recovering from reconstructive elbow surgery, allowing one run and three hits in six innings with four strikeouts and no walks.

Indians 8, White Sox 1: At Chicago, Ubaldo Jimenez pitched 8⅓ strong innings and Asdrubal Cabrera and Lonnie Chisenhall homered to lead Cleveland to a victory over the White Sox that helped the Indians keep pace in the AL wild-card race.

Jimenez (12-9) scattered eight hits and struck out eight to win his third straight start, falling just two outs shy of his ninth career complete game and fourth shutout.

Sox starter Andre Rienzo (2-2) lasted just four innings, allowing five runs on seven hits and four walks. Rienzo was called up July 30 and has allowed five or more runs in three of his last four starts.

The Sox, last in the AL Central, have lost five straight and 14 of 16. They managed to get more than one man on base only twice against Jimenez, in the third and ninth.

Vikings at Bears

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

The Bears’ James Anderson celebrates Charles Tillman’s first-quarter interception of the regular season against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday at Soldier Field. Anderson led the Carolina Panthers in tackles in 2010 and 2011.

Anderson emerges as the newest ‘other’ Bears LB BEARS INSIDER Kevin Fishbain There’s just something about the “Sam” linebacker in the Bears’ defense – he’s probably going to fly under the radar.

Hunter Hillenmeyer did it for six seasons in Chicago.

“I definitely was the ‘other’ linebacker,” Hillenmeyer said.

“Whenever you’re playing next to two future Hall-of-Famecaliber guys like Lance [Briggs] and Brian [Urlacher], you’re already going to be the other guy, regardless of anything else.”

After Hillenmeyer retired, Nick Roach assumed the role for three seasons, playing back seat to the “Will” and “Mike” linebackers, Briggs and Urlacher.

Even with Urlacher retired, the tradition has continued with Roach’s replacement, James Anderson.

“That’s kind of been my career. I’ve done my business and did what I had to do,” Anderson said about a career being somewhat unknown in Carolina, despite leading the Panthers in tackles in 2010 and ’11.

Briggs is obviously the focal point of the Bears’ linebackers, and rightfully so. Next has been D.J. Williams, Urlacher’s replacement. Even rookie Jon Bostic, who didn’t play a single snap of defense in the opener, sometimes has gotten more attention than Anderson, who played every snap in his Bears debut.

“To me, it’s not a big deal.

I’ve come in and realized, being an older player, that if you’re talking about Lance Briggs, you’re talking about all of us,” Anderson said. “If you’re talking about Jon Bostic, you’re talking about all of us.

“It’s a team game – one guy does well, we all do well.”

Anderson had a strong performance in his first game as a Bear, making five tackles and

3 keys to beating the Vikings 1

. There is only so much an NFL defense can do against Adrian Peterson.

Week 7 of 2012, he rushed for 153 yards and one touchdown on 23 carries against Arizona; Week 15 against St. Louis, he was 24-212 with one touchdown; Week 17 at Green Bay, 34-199 with one touchdown and another TD receiving; and Week 14 against the Bears, he rushed 31-154 and two touchdowns. In the NFL, one player can’t win a game by himself, but Peterson was the reason the Vikings won those four games, the difference between 6-10 and 10-6. The Bears must limit Peterson and not let him force the defense to stay on the field.

The Bears have to run the football much better than they did against Cincinnati. If they allow the Vikings to make them one dimensional, they will have success rushing Jay Cutler and forcing turnovers.

The Bears have to find their missing pass rush. Christian Ponder is an unfinished product but not incompetent. If the Bears allow him to stand in the pocket and throw without pressure, he can make enough plays in the passing game to beat you.

The Bears’ Tim Jennings (26) and James Anderson (50) bring down Cincinnati’s Jermaine Gresham in the second quarter at Soldier Field on Sunday. two crucial passes defensed, including one on the Bengals’ final offensive play of the game.

“He’s a pro’s pro. His football IQ is off the charts,” said defensive coordinator Mel

Tucker. “He has the intangibles, the instincts and all that stuff, but on top of that, he can make the plays. He runs, he hits, he can cover. Those are guys you can win with big time.”

Hillenmeyer explained that when playing on the strong side, sometimes you’re naturally going to be forgotten in this system.

“The setup of the defense is such that the ‘Sam’ is the grinder position,” he said.

“He’s the one that takes on iso blocks. A lot of times, he’s the one doing the dirty work so that somebody else can make the tackle.

“A good ‘Sam’ isn’t necessarily going to show up on the stat sheet with a bunch of huge plays, but a lot of ways, it’s his hard work that leads to a lot of the other big plays that other guys get a chance to make.”

Anderson compared his role on the defense to a position on offense known for not getting any respect. In fact, it’s a position that some teams don’t even employ.

“I’m kind of like the fullback,” Anderson said. “I take on blockers, get my job done.”

Anderson is different than the “Sams” before him, as he is helping cover the pass in the nickel with Urlacher gone. If he keeps playing as well as he did in the opener in that role, though, he won’t be anonymous much longer.

Especially in a town that revels its linebackers, and Anderson happens to wear the famous “50” on his back, the first to do so since Mike Singletary. Still, Anderson is quick to defer to his teammates.

“People will [talk about] who they want to, that’s life,” Anderson said. “I’m a Bear. If you’re talking about one of us, you’re talking about all of us.”

LAKE FOREST – Already one of the most likeable players on the Bears, rookie right tackle Jordan Mills smiled and agreed to play along with the idiot sports columnist. First, the idiot asked, tell me what you were doing in 1998.

Then, the idiot said, I’ll tell you the reason I asked the question.

“1998?” asked Mills, a 22-year-old who played at Louisiana Tech. “I was 7, going on 8.

“I was into remote-control cars and all that stuff. And I always broke my remote-control cars for some reason.”

Which Mills’ parents loved.

“No, they didn’t,” Mills said with a laugh.

OK, now the reason.

Until this season, that was the last time the Bears allowed zero sacks in their season opener.

Fifteen years is a long time.

It’s 105 years to a dog. It’s about 1,005 years to an NFL player.

It was, in other words, a long time coming. And now the Bears’ offensive line is going to try to do the unthinkable Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. Pitch another shutout.

BEARS INSIDER Tom Musick Care to guess the last time the Bears allowed zero sacks in each of their first two games?

Not once. At least, not since 1967, which is as far as the computers at Halas Hall stretched.

“I wish they were all going to go like that, but they’re not,” Bears left tackle Jermon Bushrod said. “We’ve just got to continue to grind. We’ve got to continue to get better every week.”

How do you get better than allowing zero sacks?

You allow zero sacks, plus you give Jay Cutler more time to throw the football, plus you create more running lanes for Matt Forte, plus you communicate at the line, plus …

OK, you get the idea.

“We’re not done,” coach Marc Trestman said. “We had a couple protection breakdowns, which inhibited our ability to move the football and move the sticks. We’re working on that.

“Honestly, we don’t feel like

we’ve arrived. But we got off to a good start against what we think was a very good front, a front that we really respected going in with some very good players, a team that last year was very good with their front seven. So we felt good about that, but not so good that we didn’t come back ready to work together.”

Every week is a challenge for offensive linemen in the NFL, and this week is no exception for Mills and his teammates on the Bears. They will go up against a great Vikings defensive line that includes Jared Allen, Brian Robison, Kevin Williams and Letroy Guion, among others.

But maybe the Bears offensive line is pretty good, too.

They looked the part in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

They sound the part heading into Week 2 against the Vikings.

“I’m just glad to be a part of it,” Mills said. “It’s something that the veterans already have started, that mindset they have to not give up anything. They also know every game is not going to be perfect. You’re going

to have your ups and downs, but approach it well and approach it like you’re not going to give up anything.”

Mills named several of his older teammates on the offensive line – Bushrod, Roberto Garza, Matt Slauson, Eben Britton, Jonathan Scott, even James Brown. He said their message to him and fellow rookie Kyle Long about pass blocking was simple and important.

“They have that mindset, ‘They’ve got to come through you to get to the quarterback,’ ” Mills said. “ ‘And if they’ve got to come through you, you’re not going to let them.’ ” Because it’s bad when you break a remote-control car, but it’s really bad when you put your quarterback in harm’s way.

“The next remote-control car I buy is probably when I have a son,” Mills said. “When that time comes, I might buy myself a remote-control airplane. I always wanted one of those.”

NOON SUNDAY, Fox, AM-780, FM-105.9 Shaw Media sports writer Kevin Fishbain breaks down this week’s Bears game: BEARS

VIKINGS

Bears’ rushing offense vs. Vikings’ rushing defense The Bears lost this battle last week against Cincinnati, and it’s been a point of emphasis this week. The Vikings’ run defense struggled against Reggie Bush in a loss to Detroit, so it’s also a focal point for them. Getting defensive tackle Kevin Williams back helps Minnesota’s front, and they bottled up Matt Forte at Soldier Field last season. Very slight advantage to Minnesota.

Edge: Vikings

3

Bears’ passing offense vs. Vikings’ passing defense This is where Jay Cutler should tilt the pendulum in the Bears’ favor. The Vikings’ young secondary allowed 357 passing yards last week and were in the bottom 10 in the league against the pass last season. Matt Forte may not find a ton of holes running the ball, but he should salivate at seeing how Bush attacked the Vikings catching passes.

Edge: Bears Vikings’ rushing offense vs. Bears’ rushing defense Pick any run defense in the history of football, and you would probably still take Adrian Peterson. Last year’s MVP has had his struggles against the Bears at times in his career, but he had two 100-yard games last season. Chicago did a great job against BenJarvus Green-Ellis, and while they will make sure Peterson can’t beat them on his own, this is still a tough battle to win.

Edge: Vikings

Vikings’ passing offense vs. Bears’ passing defense Any advantage that AP gives the Vikings goes back to the Bears in this matchup.

Christian Ponder is 1-3 against the Bears with one touchdown, three picks and a 53.7 passer rating. He threw three interceptions against the Lions and faces a much better secondary this week. Add to that the Bears’ focus on improving the pass rush this week – Minnesota allowed three sacks to Detroit in Week One. Edge: Bears

The Bears’ Jordan Mills blocks San Diego’s Damik Schafe (rear) and Donald Butler (right) during the Bears’ first-quarter touchdown drive in a preseason game against the Chargers on Aug. 15 at Soldier Field. The Bears did not give up a sack last week in a win against Cincinnati.

Vikings need to shore up defense to compete • ARKUSH

Sunday’s edge The Vikings will be in early desperation mode, not wanting to fall to 0-2, and can keep things close if the Bears’ offense gets off to another slow start. In the end, though, the Bears’ pass defense will be too much for Ponder. Peterson may get his 100 yards rushing, but Ponder’s mistakes in addition to the matchup of Jay Cutler vs. a below-average back seven should get the Bears to 2-0.

Continued from page C1 The Vikings can’t win if Ponder is that generous with the Bears.

But they can absolutely knock off the Bears if the NFL’s reigning MVP, Adrian Peterson, takes over the game. In two outings against the Bears last year, Peterson has 49 carries for 262 yards with two touchdowns, going over 100 yards on the ground in both games.

On Peterson’s first carry of 2013, he went 78 yards for a touchdown. The Lions actually held him to 17 yards on 15 carries the rest of the way, but he did rush for another score and catch four passes for 18 yards and a third touchdown.

Minnesota’s top three receivers – Greg Jennings, Kyle Rudolph and first-round draft choice Cordarrelle Patterson – were held to six catches for 70 yards between them last week.

Jerome Simpson did have seven catches for 140 yards.

On defense, the Vikings were horrible in Detroit, allowing the Lions 469 yards of offense, including 352 through the air.

Jared Allen did notch his first sack, but it was the only time Matthew Stafford was pressured all day.

We should also note the Vikings defense allowed four of its last five 2012 opponents to go over 400 yards.

The Vikings will have to be a completely different team this week to push the Bears at home.

They can be if Kevin Williams is

healthy and, at this writing, we are told he should be and will go.

With all that was written last week about the Bengals’ defensive front and the Bears “new” offensive line, it was just a couple of years ago that Williams and not Geno Atkins was the best three – technique in football, and this Viking defensive front is still capable of a big effort. If Everson Griffen, Brian Robison and Sharrif Floyd decide to help Allen and Williams push the pocket, look out.

The Vikings secondary is iffy but Chad Greenway is a Pro Bowler at outside linebacker and Eric Henderson is capable in the middle.

This will probably come down to Peterson. The Bears did a nice job holding the Bengals to 63 yards on 23 carries, but this

week is different.

The Bears have handled him better than most, facing him twice in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2012 and once in 2010 and 2011. Peterson has 1,085 yards on 217 carries with 13 touchdowns against the Bears. He’s been held under 100 yards rushing in five of his 10 games but has scored in all but two. The Bears best defensive effort against him was 39 yards on 12 carries with a touchdown in their only 2011 meeting.

The NFL is certainly all about “On any given Sunday.” But if the Bears don’t let Peterson beat them, it’s unlikely the Vikings will.

NO. 19 WASHINGTON 34, ILLINOIS 24

Illini can’t hold on against Huskies

By HERB GOULD Chicago Sun-Times

Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron celebrates after throwing a touchdown pass to Jalston Fowler on Saturday during the fourth quarter of the Tide’s 49-42 victory over Texas A&M in College Station, Texas.

AP TOP 25 ROUNDUP

McCarron leads Tide over Aggies The ASSOCIATED PRESS COLLEGE STATION, Texas – AJ McCarron threw four touchdown passes – one less than Johnny Manziel – and No. 1 Alabama beat No. 6 Texas A&M, 49-42, on Saturday, paying back the Aggies for last season’s upset win.

Vinnie Sunseri returned an interception 73 yards for a score – sidestepping Manziel on the way to the end zone – as the Crimson Tide (2-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) spotted the Aggies (2-1, 0-1) a 14-0 lead before scoring the next 35 points.

McCarron tossed three touchdowns in the first half to put Alabama up 28-14. Sunseri’s score made it 35-14 less than 3 minutes into the third.

Manziel threw for a career-best 464 yards, but a first-half interception in the end zone swung the game the Tide’s way, and his third-quarter pick and whiff on the tackle put A&M in a deep hole.

No. 5 Stanford 34, Army 20:

CHICAGO – No disrespect to the Illini, because they had a lot to do with it. But the Cincinnati Bearcats looked like they were auditioning for Dumb and Dumber last week.

This week figured to provide a lot more evidence, beginning with Illinois’ festive game at Soldier Field against No. 19 Washington.

Their spirits bolstered by a 2-0 start, the Illini were brought back to reality in a 3424 loss to the Huskies. But all was not lost in this first loss.

“Our players came out knowing they had a chance to

win this game and fought to the end,” coach Tim Beckman said.

The Illini (2-1), who trailed 10-3 at the half, found a way to hang around in that first half with their defense, which is looking better than anticipated – because not much was anticipated. The defense, which gave up a 615 yards, will need to get better. But the Illini have faith.

“Last week, we won a big game [against Cincinnati], but I realized we weren’t as good as some people thought,” defensive coordinator Tim Banks said. “And today, I don’t think we’re as bad as some people think.”

The party line is that the

young Illinois defense needs to tackle better – and it will learn to do that in time.

“If we were in this situation last year, it might have turned sour,” senior linebacker Jonathan Brown said “But these guys fought to the end. They showed heart.”

If the offense wasted two red-zone chances in the first half, it scrapped well enough in the second half that Illinois was only down 31-24 with less than five minutes to play.

After the Huskies (2-0) marched down the field with the third-quarter kickoff for a 17-3 lead, the Illinois offense answered with a 75-yard, 10play touchdown drive capped

by a 2-yard naked bootleg from Nate Scheelhaase with four tight ends on the field.

Can offensive coordinator Bill Cubit keep coming up with new stuff, or will opponents break down the film and come up with a book on his play-calling?

“They’re gonna have to have a big book,” Cubit said.

“I spend about three hours by myself at night. You just have to keep coming up with things.

The good thing is, most of the stuff has worked.”

NO. 21 NOTRE DAME 31, PURDUE 24

Notre Dame rallies late to beat Purdue

By MICHAEL MAROT The Associated Press WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – DaVaris Daniels made touchdown catches on two successive Notre Dame plays in the fourth quarter, and Bennett Jackson followed that flurry with a 34-yard interception return to lead No. 21 Notre Dame past Purdue, 31-24, on

Saturday night.

The Fighting Irish (2-1) were led by quarterback Tommy Rees, who was 20 of 33 for 309 yards and those two TD passes. Notre Dame has won six straight in a series that has been played every year since 1946.

Without Daniels and Jackson, it might not have happened.

Daniels outleaped one Purdue defender for a 9-yard TD pass to tie the score at 17 with 14:47 left. And when Notre Dame got the ball back, Tommy Rees hooked up with Daniels again, this time on an 82-yard catch-and-run to make it 24-17.

Three plays after that Jackson undercut a receiver, picked off Purdue’s Rob Hen-

ry and sprinted to the end zone.

“We just kept playing, we had to make a couple of plays,” Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said. “Last week, Michigan made the plays.

Tonight, we made the plays when we needed to.”

The Boilermakers (1-2) led until Daniels’ second TD catch.

BIG TEN ROUNDUP

Northwestern rebounds from slow start to defeat W. Michigan The ASSOCIATED PRESS EVANSTON – Treyvon Green rushed for 158 yards and two touchdowns, quarterback Kain Colter ran for 106 yards and a score and passed for another, and No. 17 Northwestern beat Western Michigan 38-17 on Saturday night.

Northwestern (3-0) had 474 yards of total offense – including 335 on the ground – to extend its winning streak in nonconference home games to 15.

Green, the No. 3 running back on the depth chart, took advantage of the absence of starter Venric Mark, who missed his second straight game with a lower-body injury.

At Ann Arbor, Mich., Fitzgerald Toussaint scored a goahead, 2-yard touchdown with 2:49 left, and Michigan made a desperately needed stop on the final play to beat Akron.

UCF 34, Penn State 31: At State College, Pa., Blake Bortles passed for 288 and three touchdowns and UCF stunned Penn State.

NIU looks to improve to 3-0 against E. Illinois • NIU Continued from page C1 The Vandals’ zone read wasn’t beating NIU’s defense constantly. The Huskies pressured the quarterback like crazy, finishing with a school-record 11 sacks, constantly rushing four down linemen.

“It was inJamaal Bass credible, just to see these guys just get after the quarterback almost every play,” linebacker Jamaal Bass said. “It was fun for me, to see those guys make a lot of plays and a lot of sacks.”

Lynch helped give NIU a 35-28 lead with 6:12 left in the third quarter on his 61-yard draw TD. The Vandals had been doing a good job bottling up the play, but Lynch broke free.

“I just felt like we never got in that rhythm today on offense. We still put up 45 points, and we’re still sitting here complaining, but we just never got in that rhythm.”

In the fourth quarter, NIU expanded its lead with a 51yard field goal by Sims. The Huskies capped the scoring when Luke Eakes caught a 13-

yard scoring pass from Lynch.

Lynch said the offense never really got into sync, despite the high point total.

“I just felt like we never

got in that rhythm today on offense,” Lynch said. “We still put up 45 points, and we’re sitting here complaining, but we just never got in that rhythm.”

It wasn’t as easy as many thought it would be, but in the end a win is a win. The Huskies will look to improve to 3-0 next week when they host Eastern Illinois in their home opener.

NASCAR SPRINT CUP: GEICO 400

FIVE-DAY PLANNER

NASCAR announces new rules Changes designed to prevent more suspect behavior

Kyle Busch dominates to win at Chicagoland JOLIET – Just when it appeared Kyle Busch couldn’t be any stronger in a Nationwide Series race, he broke the series record for most laps led on a 1.5-mile track in winning the Dollar General 300 at Chicagoland Speedway on Saturday.

Starting from the pole, Busch went on to lead 195 of the event’s 200 laps, eclipsing the record of 194 laps led the late Dale Earnhardt set at Charlotte in 1986.

“It was just a great day with a phenomenal race car,” said Busch, who earned his 10th win in 20 Nationwide races this season, tied for second-most wins in a single season on NASCAR’s junior circuit.

– The Associated Press

By TINA AKOURIS Chicago Sun-Times JOLIET – NASCAR chairman and CEO Brian France and president Mike Helton think their latest trick should fix what has been a drama-filled week, as the sport kicks off the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship with Sunday’s GEICO 400.

France and Helton met with drivers, owners and crew chiefs Saturday afternoon at Chicagoland Speedway to announce new rules that will go into effect starting with the GEICO 400. Robin Pemberton, NASCAR’s vice president for competition, was also at the meeting.

France said the main thing the three of them tried to get across was that drivers and teams are expected to “give a 100 percent effort to complete a race and race as hard as they possibly can” and that races not be “artificially altered.”

NASCAR also handed down new rules on spotters. Only one spotter per team is allowed on the spotters’ stand, two analog radios and scanners are allowed, no digital radios are permitted on the spotters’ stand and a video camera will be installed on the stand. Pemberton said the camera will allow NASCAR officials to monitor the spotters’ actions during a race.

Helton gave examples of ontrack behavior that is unacceptable under the new rule.

Those examples include: if drivers offer a race position in exchange for a favor or some other benefit, directing a driver to give up a position to benefit another driver, intentionally causing a wreck or a caution and going to pit road or the garage area on purpose so another driver benefits.

“These are just examples,” Helton said. “It doesn’t mean that if it’s not on this list that it’s OK.” Some reports indicated France was angry during the meeting, referring to stories that appeared in various media this week that said NASCAR was “rigged” after the

Richmond race Sept. 7.

France and Helton have reiterated that they want the sport’s credibility back. The fines and punishments levied against Michael Waltrip Racing, and the alleged radio chatter between Dave Gilliland’s team at Front Row Motorsports and Joey Logano’s at Penske Racing seemed to mar the beginning of NASCAR’s playoffs.

“We had a very frank discussion with the drivers,” France said.

“I didn’t talk to any of them afterwards, but I could see as we were walking through that this is what they want. They want to have clarity.”

Paul Wolfe, the crew chief for defending Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski, said the meeting cleared up a lot of ambiguity.

“I think it got everyone’s attention,” Wolfe said. “Everyone should have a pretty clear understanding of what that [line] is now. A lot of it is just common sense.”

Because Wolfe and Keselowski are part of Penske Racing, they are also affected by NASCAR’s ruling Friday that put Penske Racing on probation until Dec. 31.

“I don’t get many thank-you notes (from the drivers),” France said. “But I believe that they understand what they want to get back to.

It’s to not worry about anything but winning races and doing your best.”

Big SUVs rumble, keep going

‘REAL OPPORTUNITY’

Wealthy, but not spoiled

By TOM KRISHER The Associated Press STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. – Five years ago, when gas hit $4 per gallon, auto industry analysts boldly predicted that enormous SUVs would vanish like the automobile tail fin.

On Thursday, General Motors unveiled a redesigned lineup of its truck-based SUVs, threeton behemoths that are still popular with drivers hauling around boats, campers and large families, or who like to sit high or feel safer in a heavy vehicle. The 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade will hit showrooms in either late winter or early spring.

“There are some people, especially in our market, who want a product in that segment,” said Ed Williamson, part-owner of two GMC and Cadillac dealerships near Miami, where people often use the V8-powered SUVs to tow boats to the ocean.

In recent years, buyers have flocked to crossovers, which are car-based sport utilities that are easier to drive, carry just as many people, and get better gas mileage. Yet there’s still a lucrative U.S. market for the truck-based SUVs, and GM controls more than 70 percent of it.

Americans bought more than 132,000 big SUVs from GM from January through August, compared with around 114,000 in the same period a year ago, even though the sticker price can top $50,000 and a fill-up can cost close to $100. With gas mileage around 17 mpg in city and highway driving, those fill-ups come more often than with many other vehicles.

GM executives aren’t sure whether this generation of SUVs will be its last. Government pollution limits and stricter fuel-economy requirements in the future could force their hand.

Dear Dave, How do you make sure you don’t spoil your child when you’re wealthy?

– Ryan

Dear Ryan, I know this will sound mean to some people, but you simply explain to them that they are not wealthy.

I remember a time years ago, after we’d gone broke, that we managed to scrimp and save and finally had a little bit of wealth. We bought a nice car and my son piped up from the back seat, all smug and satisfied, “We’re doing pretty good, huh?”

I’ll admit it was kind of funny, but it was also a teachable moment. I looked at him and said, “I’m doing pretty good, but you’re broke!” That was a pretty consistent message around the Ramsey household as the kids were growing up. If you’re not working and making your own way, you’ve got nothing.

The second thing is we taught them, from a very young age, was to work. That can start with simple things such as kids cleaning up their rooms or doing the dishes after dinner. It should carry over to the teenage years as well. Every ablebodied child should be working and earning money, whether it’s their own entrepreneurial idea, at a store in the mall or baby-sitting.

Teach them to work. Teach them to be givers. And gently remind them once in a while that they’ve got nothing until they go out and earn it.

Dear Dave, My dad opened a credit-card account in his name a few years ago to help with my college bills, and he made me an authorized user. Now he’s delinquent on the card and I’m receiving collection calls and notices. Do I owe the credit-card company money?

– Steve

Dear Steve, No, an authorized user is not liable. The account is in your dad’s name, and you didn’t sign anything.

He’s the one legally responsible for the money owed.

I want you to be careful, though.

Lots of credit-card companies will badger people and use all kinds of pressure and guilt trips to try to collect money from people who don’t owe them anything. They just want their money, and they really don’t care who writes the check.

Get them to remove you as an authorized user today. Send them a letter demanding this via certified mail, return receipt requested, so you’ll have proof. Also, make sure they understand that you’ll sue them for about $10 million if they don’t comply immediately. You shouldn’t be reported to the credit bureaus for any of this, but companies can report just about anything – even inaccurate information – to the bureaus.

You have rights as a consumer, and you are not legally liable for credit-card debt when you’re just an authorized user. But make sure you check your credit report regularly in the future. Some of these companies make a habit of repeatedly downloading misinformation to the bureaus in an effort to bother and bully people into paying debts they don’t owe!

Spruce up the apartment Firm invests in, renovates county rental properties

By BRETT ROWLAND browland@shawmedia.com HEBRON – A Chicago real estate firm is betting it can turn a profit by fixing up and renting a collection of inexpensive apartments in Hebron, Harvard, Woodstock and Genoa City, Wis. JCF Real Estate Inc., a commercial real estate firm based in Chicago, bought bankowned multifamily properties with nearly 50 units in the four towns earlier this year. The company is repairing the rundown apartments and plans to rent them out at higher rates,

said John Fitzmaurice, principal and founder of JCF Real Estate.

“What I’ve learned is that these areas are underserved,” Fitzmaurice said. “Not much attention is paid to these markets in the suburbs. There’s a real opportunity out there.”

The properties JCF Real Estate bought were originally part of a larger portfolio of bank-owned apartments, mostly in McHenry County. Kinzie Real Estate Group offered the portfolio, which included nine properties consisting of 53 rental units across 19 buildings, for $2.1 million. The portfolio was

broken up and sold in three parts, with JCF Real Estate taking the largest share. The eventual sales price of all of the units was much lower than the intial list price, said Steven Maher of Kinzie Real Estate Group in Chicago.

Kinzie Real Estate Group served as the court-appointed receiver for the properties during the foreclosure process and later sold the properties on behalf of the bank that owned them, Maher said.

“There were significant maintenance issues from years

Enthralled with trucks The giant SUVs became the rage in the late 1990s. Gas mileage was of little concern with fuel at just over $1 per gallon.

Nissan and Toyota joined the market with the Armada and Sequoia SUVs, trying to take a piece of Detroit’s action. By 2001, big SUV sales hit a record of just over 917,000, according to Ward’s Automotive. The SUVs accounted for about 5 percent of all car sales that year, driven mostly by people who weren’t going off-road or towing something.

“We were really in sort of a truck craze at that time,” said Bill Visnic, senior analyst with the Edmunds.com auto website.

Sales were fairly stable until 2005, when gas spiked over $3 per gallon as hurricanes pounded Gulf Coast refineries. About the same time, companies figured out ways to put big peoplehaulers on car underpinnings. The new vehicles became quick hits.

As the Great Recession arrived, the truckbased vehicles also drew scorn from environmentalists who viewed them as icons of excess.

Gas topped $4 nationwide in the summer of 2008. Hummer, the poster child for gas-guzzling waste, went out of business. By 2009, large SUV sales had plummeted to 228,000.

A comeback, of sorts Sales of big SUVs hit 237,000 last year, up 4.5 percent from the 2009 trough but still only a quarter of what they were in the boom years. Experts suspect drivers have become accustomed to high gas prices, which have averaged around $3.50 nationwide since 2011. Because they carry up to eight people, Suburbans and Yukons are more efficient than driving two cars, said Chris Hemmersmeier, CEO of a 10-franchise dealership chain in Salt Lake City, where there’s an abundance of big families and people who travel into nearby mountains.

“When you look at it in miles per passenger, it’s pretty good,” Hemmersmeier said.

There are still buyers who just want something big. GM’s data show that more than half of Tahoe buyers never tow anything, and only 1.3 percent go off the road at least monthly. Only 35 percent have children in their homes.

The next step

For GM, the business case for updating the SUVs makes perfect sense. They sell to high-income households for an average of $47,000 each, about $20,000 above last year’s average price of a new vehicle in the U.S. Analysts said GM makes at least $10,000 per SUV. GM already had designed new engines, transmissions and suspensions for its full-size pickup trucks. Those will be used in the SUVs. All it took was a minimal amount of engineering to make the SUV bodies a little sleeker, up-

8IN BRIEF

Professional open house offered at Gardens

Lucky travelers fly United on $0 tickets

WOODSTOCK – The Gardens of Woodstock is hosting a special professional open house from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday.

It will be promoting its banquet and meeting facility and services offered by The Venue – a division of the operation that caters to special events for social and business purposes.

The Venue offers indoor and outdoor spaces to hold events, and is located just off the corner of routes 47 and 176, at 5211 Swanson Road, Woodstock.

All event and business meeting planners are invited and can RSVP by calling The Gardens of Woodstock at 815-337-2509 or by emailing info@gardensofwoodstock.com. The RSVP deadline is Tuesday.

United Airlines said it will honor the tickets it accidentally gave away for free.

The decision is good news for people who snapped up the tickets Thursday after United listed airfares at $0.

Many customers got tickets for $5 or $10, paying only the cost of the Sept. 11 security fee.

The mistake was an especially good deal for any passengers who bought tickets for travel within the next week. For instance, a Houston-to-Washington Dulles flight for next weekend would have cost $877, according to United’s website on Friday.

Airlines have posted socalled mistake fares before.

They generally decide on a case-by-case basis whether they’ll honor the ticket. On Friday, United Continental Holdings Inc. said it was honoring the tickets “based on these specific circumstances.” On Thursday, United said there was an error in filing the fares to its computer system.

United would not say how many tickets it accidentally gave away, or how much the mistake cost. The wrong fares were available on its website for a few hours Thursday. It eventually shut down bookings on the website until it could fix the problem.

Some passengers bought their tickets for flights Friday, and then immediately checked in online and printed their boarding passes.

Gary Lang honors oldest truck owners McHENRY – As part of its 30th anniversary celebration, Gary Lang Auto Group invited customers in to see who has the oldest Gary Lang vehicle still on the road in their possession.

The contest had four entries – all Chevy trucks. The three

runners-up all bought Chevy S-10 pick-ups: Joe Sawirstowski of McHenry, 1995 Chevy S-10; Mike Flathau of McHenry, 1994 Chevy S-10; and Dennis Dalby of McHenry, 1989 Chevy S-10. All were awarded a gift certificate for service work.

The grand-prize winner was Dennis Dalmann of Cary. He was given a check for $1,983, as Gary Lang Chevrolet opened in 1983. He and his wife used the truck to pull their boat to the Lake of the Ozarks for several years. Now, they use it to trans-

port their tandem bicycle.

Gary Lang Auto Group is on Route 31 between Crystal Lake and McHenry. The dealership group carries many makes, including Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, Cadillac, Kia, Mitsubishi and Subaru.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Pay day loan business Check ‘n Go will host a grand opening from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Saturday.

The event will be held at 6500 Northwest Highway in Crystal Lake. There will be food and a raffle.

Richest earn biggest share since ’20s

By PAUL WISEMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The gulf between the richest 1 percent and the rest of America is the widest it’s been since the Roaring ‘20s.

The very wealthiest Americans earned more than 19 percent of the country’s household income last year – their biggest share since 1928, the year before the stock market crash. And the top 10 percent captured a record 48.2 percent of total earnings last year.

U.S. income inequality has been growing for almost three decades. And it grew again last year, according to an analysis of Internal Revenue Service figures dating to 1913 by economists at the University of California, Berkeley, the Paris School of Economics and Oxford University.

One of them, Berkeley’s Emmanuel Saez, said the incomes of the richest Americans surged last year in part because they cashed in stock holdings to avoid higher capital gains taxes that took effect in January.

In 2012, the incomes of the top 1 percent rose nearly 20 percent compared with a 1 percent increase for the remaining 99 percent.

The richest Americans were hit hard by the financial crisis. Their incomes fell more than 36 percent in the Great Recession of 2007-09 as stock prices plummeted. Incomes for the bottom 99 percent fell just 11.6 percent, according to the analysis.

But since the recession officially ended in June 2009, the top 1 percent have enjoyed the benefits of rising corporate profits and stock prices: 95 percent of the income gains reported since 2009 have gone to the top 1 percent.

That compares with a 45 percent share for the top 1 percent in the eco-

nomic expansion of the 1990s and a 65 percent share from the expansion that followed the 2001 recession.

The top 1 percent of American households had pretax income above $394,000 last year. The top 10 percent had income exceeding $114,000.

The income figures include wages, pension payments, dividends and capital gains from the sale of stocks and other assets. They do not include so-called transfer payments from government programs such as unemployment benefits and Social Security.

The gap between rich and poor narrowed after World War II as unions

negotiated better pay and benefits and as the government enacted a minimum wage and other policies to help the poor and middle class.

The top 1 percent’s share of income bottomed out at 7.7 percent in 1973 and has risen steadily since the early 1980s, according to the analysis.

Economists point to several reasons for widening income inequality.

In some industries, U.S. workers now compete with low-wage labor in China and other developing countries. Clerical and call-center jobs have been outsourced to countries such as India and the Philippines.

Southwest enforcing its no-show policy DALLAS – Passengers who fail to cancel bookings on Southwest now face loss of the ticket’s value if they don’t show up.

The new policy took effect with Friday’s flights. Customers who buy nonrefundable tickets such as Wanna Get Away fares must cancel at least 10 minutes before scheduled departure or forfeit the ticket’s value.

In the past, there was little incentive to cancel because Southwest let customers use the value of the unused ticket toward another flight within one year. That meant seats flew empty when Southwest could have sold them.

HONG KONG (AP) – Mooncakes – the hockeypuck-sized pastries Chinese give each other every year for the mid-autumn festival – were always more about tradition than delicacy: Some people don’t even like them.

But in recent years, as corruption eroded confidence in government, the unscrupulous made the dense, calorific cakes even sweeter.

Luxurious boxes of mooncakes can contain far more than the traditional filling of lotus seed or red bean paste and a salted egg

yolk symbolizing the moon.

Some have rare ingredients such as abalone, shark fins or bird’s nest. Gift sets can even include items such as gold coins, top-notch wines, mobile phones and diamond rings.

Now, in an effort to combat bribery and extravagant spending, China’s Communist Party leadership has singled out the tradition in its austerity drive. It has banned the use of public money to buy the pastries and associated gifts, dampening demand just as the mar-

ket hits its usual peak ahead of the Sept. 19 festival.

Mooncakes – or, more often, mooncake coupons redeemable at stores – have been so common as gifts from offices and state-owned companies to employees that a secondhand market has emerged for the vouchers among scalpers in Chinese cities such as Shanghai. But such commerce has dwindled under President Xi Jinping’s austerity drive.

Xi’s effort already has crimped income at posh restaurants.

New SUVs are more fuel efficient • SUVS Continued from page D1 date the interiors and add third-row seats that fold into the floor.

GM said the new models will be more efficient than the current ones. Actual mileage won’t be announced until a later date. The company unveiled the Chevy and GMC models Thursday, with the Cadillac to follow. No prices were announced.

Is this the end?

With government greenhouse gas limits

and rising fuel economy requirements, it’s possible that this will be the last generation of big SUVs. Toyota, Nissan and Ford haven’t updated their models in years.

Dealers hope GM can sells enough small cars and electric vehicles to offset the SUV’s low mileage. John Schwegman, GM’s executive director of truck product and pricing, said the company will see if it can meet government targets and still make money.

Visnic, the Edmunds analyst, said GM may make enough money on them to pay government fines for not meeting fuel economy requirements, similar to what luxury and sports car makers already do, he said.

An apartment building on Bigelow Avenue in Hebron during its rehabilitation.

• APARTMENTS Continued from page D1 and years and years of owner-deferred maintenance,” Maher said. “They were severely distressed and in rough shape.”

About 85 percent of the units were occupied.

Tenants who paid rent and stayed out of trouble with the law were allowed to stay, Fitzmaurice said.

JCF Real Estate hired an affiliate, SR&J Construction, to renovate the properties. Projects include exterior renovations, landscaping improvements to the units and commons areas and interior improvements. Some of the units are getting cherry cabinets and other upgrades.

“We’re really fixing them up,” Fitzmaurice said. “They’ll look brand new.”

After the renovations, the apartments will be rented at slightly higher rates.

“If you buy them at the right price and put love and care into them, people will be willing to pay a little more to rent them,” Fitzmaurice said.

Most of the apartments will cost between $500 and $800 a month, he said.

JCF Real Estate plans to own and operate the buildings.

“We’re in this for the long haul,” Fitzmaurice said.

Fitzmaurice declined to say how much the company invested in the properties, but said it was more than $1 million.

JCF Real Estate plans to buy similar apartment buildings throughout northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin, including some in Fox Lake.

it’s important to mentally detach and revitalize when you’re not at work, says Dr. Paula Thompson, a career coach. “Studies show that people who spend their nonwork time engaged in hobbies, sports and social activities have higher job satisfaction.”

Taking on a new challenge outside of work can be as invigorating as one at work.

“The more you love your life outside the ofice, the happier you will be when you are in,” Heisler says. “Extra-curriculars keep life fun and keep work in its proper perspective.”

Talk to your boss.

If you think there are changes that could be made to improve your outlook, let someone know, says Cheryl Heisler, president and founder of Lawternatives. “It’s very possible that the company would rather hear what you are unhappy about and ix it than to see you walk,” she says.

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - Shake things up and pursue your dreams in the year ahead. Explore channels that can help you diversify your skills. Be open about your fears and your desires, and you’ll get the help of Lady Luck.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A day trip could lead to all sorts of interesting ideas. You could learn something valuable that would rejuvenate your routine.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Before you make a promise to someone find out what’s entailed. An emotional issue at home could lead to a no-win situation. Try to deal with

problems before they get out of control.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You’ll be attracted to the unusual and exotic. Don’t be afraid to incorporate some things you learn into your life, but don’t ditch efficient routines just for the sake of change.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -Make your home life more comfortable. Invest in your future and find ways to ease stress by having greater access to the things you enjoy most.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Initiate plans that will help you develop a product

or service that could lead to a new revenue channel. You’ve got the skills to pay the bills, so put them to use.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- An emotional problem must not be allowed to consume you. Step back from any situation that is upsetting and you’ll see what you need to do to achieve happiness.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- A solution can be found to a nettlesome business situation. Your distinct way of expressing your ideas will win approval and bring you rewards.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Take on

a challenge that requires mental and physical agility. You’ll be able to cope with anything that fortune throws at you, and you’ll gain many plaudits.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t let an important partnership depreciate due to emotional mishaps. Take a realistic look at the damage an argument could cause before you proceed. Find a way to avoid conflict if you can.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Today will be all about your comfort. If you feel content, you will do better in both your personal and

professional ventures. Try to find methods that minimize stress without sacrificing efficiency.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Follow an unusual path and be open to new concepts. If you change your routine, Lady Luck could be willing to help. Love will take a positive turn.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Adventure and action will get the adrenaline flowing and your mind racing. Taking time to indulge in something utterly new and exciting will lead to a change in the way you think and live.

Life lessons learned in cinder alley As I watched a fat bumble bee nuzzle over the hollyhocks this morning, I thought of Emil Skampa, our next-door neighbor more than 50 years ago. I think of Mr. Skampa almost every time I see a bumble bee, thanks to that long-ago lesson in the cinder alley behind his garage.

Our Elmwood Park neighborhood was peopled by rough-hewn men and women, folks who got their hands dirty when they worked. My dad worked in a steel mill. I don’t know where Mr. Skampa worked, but he was the last of an ancient breed who walked to work carrying his lunch in a lidded pail, then returned at the end of the day with a quart of draft beer in the pail, bought at the corner tavern on Diversey.

He was a short man, barely five feet tall, and he spoke with a heavy Czechoslovakian accent. He was a generation older than my parents, so we never saw any children at his house, but his wife was like a second grandmother to all of us kids on the block. At Halloween, Mrs. Skampa packaged a sack full of candy for each of us with our name on it. On rainy days we were welcome to sit with her in her kitchen, where she would read to us from a Czech newspaper sent to her every month or so by somebody in her far-off homeland.

Behind almost every home stood a modest garage crouched by the cinder alley. Though our small, early 20th century two-bedroom wood frame houses all looked pretty much the same, the garages behind the homes varied widely, built over the course of a few decades as one resident after another finally saved enough money to buy a car and then proudly built a garage to house it. In a way, the garage was the signal to the world that you had finally achieved the American Dream.

But the alley belonged to us kids, it seemed. Our parents never balked at let-

ting us play back there, where there was little traffic and small harm we might do, other than to ourselves or each other.

Besides, it was in the alley we kids first learned our deepest and longestlasting lessons about how to be good Americans.

For one thing, there was alley maintenance to be done, and it was up to us to do it. Every home was heated by coal, and the residue of all that burned coal was hard, glassy cinders at the bottom of the furnace grate. The cinder alley always deteriorated into ruts and potholes through the course of a year, and every kid on that block carried their furnace cinders out to the alley to dump them in the right places and rake them to smooth out the bumps. Call it civic duty, but if we wanted a navigable alley in which to ride a bike or play a game of tag, it was up to us.

The alley was democratic in more ways than that, though. Nearly every garage had some sort of useful plant growing next to it at the edge of the alley – rhubarb behind the Zumsteins, raspberries behind the Colangelos or sunflowers behind the Skampas. Anything growing in the alley was considered the property of the entire block. If you were baking a pie or decorating the kitchen table, you were welcome to head out to the alley to see what you could find.

And it was among the sunflowers behind Mr. Skampa’s garage that we learned another lesson about how to be a good American.

There were three of us – Larry, Scott and me – and we were taking turns with a Daisy Red Ryder BB gun, trying to shoot a bumblebee off of a sunflower.

Mr. Skampa came back to the alley with a smile on his face, asking, “What you do?” with his heavy Czech accent.

“We’re just trying to shoot this bee,” we told him. We reassured him we were being careful, and that we wouldn’t hit

his garage.

He shook his head to tell us that wasn’t why he asked. “Why you shoot bee?” he asked, still with that smile on his face.

“Just, you know, to see who can hit it,” we said. We realized how stupid that must sound, so we mumbled something about removing a danger to the neighborhood. We didn’t want anybody to get stung. Being a hero trumps being a marksman, any day.

“Bee is no danger,” Mr. Skampa said, and he reached out and cupped the bumbler in his hands.

As I said, Mr. Skampa was a laborer, and the skin of his palms was thicker than moccasin leather. He shook his hands back and forth in front of his chest, and the bee bumbled angrily. “Bee sings a pretty song,” he said. He held out his cupped hands for us to listen, but the song sounded more perilous than pretty to me.

“No danger, see?” he said. And he opened his hands, his palms flat in front of our faces only inches away.

The furious bee roared out of his leathery hands, anxious to punish somebody softer for the humiliating interruption of his busy day.

We roared down the alley, cinders flying behind us.

Mr. Skampa roared with laughter.

And his laughter and his lesson still echo in my heart to this day, every time I see a bumblebee busying the blooms.

Mr. Skampa’s lesson came with no scolding. No anger. No lecture.

Just the simple lesson of a simple man teaching the neighborhood boys that there is no place for senseless cruelty in a fair land.

Pulled pork joins soba noodle soup

By ALISON LADMAN The Associated Press We tend to associate pulled pork with Southern-style barbecue. But for this hearty fall soup, we decided to take our favorite moist and tender pork in a decidedly Japanese direction.

We started by marinating medallions of pork tenderloin in garlic and oil. Time is your friend here, so don’t hesitate to let it go overnight. Then we sauté onions and shiitake mushrooms until brown, and bring that and the pork to a simmer in chicken broth. Once the pork is tender, we use forks to pull it into delicious strands.

Add some fresh ginger and soba noodles and you have a fresh, warming take on pulled pork.

Shiitake Ginger Noodle Soup With Garlic Pork Start to finish: 3 hours Servings: 8 1-pound pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch medallions 4 cloves garlic, minced 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided Two 6-ounce containers shiitake mushrooms, stalks discarded, sliced 1 large yellow onion, sliced

6 cups (1 1/2 quarts) low-sodium chicken broth 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger 6.2 ounces soba noodles (two-thirds of a 9.3-ounce package) 3 scallions, sliced Salt and ground black pepper In a zip-close plastic bag, combine the pork medallions, garlic and 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil.

Shake to coat evenly, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.

When ready to cook, in a large saucepan over medium-high, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add the mushrooms and onion and cook until lightly browned, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes. Add the pork and garlic from the bag, along with the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 30 minutes.

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the pork to a plate.

Using 2 forks, shred the pork pieces, then return the meat to the pot. Add the ginger and bring to a boil. Add the noodles and cook until tender, about 4 minutes.

Stir in the scallions and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.

This month, you can be the hero Founded after 9/11 to increase preparedness in the U.S., National Preparedness Month is a particularly fitting time to join the effort to help our community prepare for an emergency.

Now in its ninth year, this nationwide effort throughout September encourages households, businesses and communities to be ready for emergencies. It is a time to prepare yourself and those in your family for emergencies and disasters. Preparedness is a shared responsibility – it takes a whole community.

This September, set an example for your family and community. Join the McHenry County Department of Health in our ongoing preparation for emergencies. Help us to encourage the community as a whole to become prepared and getting involved.

Over the past several years, northern Illinois has dealt with multiple natural disasters. We have experienced harsh winter storms, the H1N1 Flu Pandemic, a massive straight-line wind-related power outage and, most recently, the April floods. Emergencies can happen unexpectedly in communities just like ours.

Each incident is a wake-up call to get prepared.

Being prepared before a disaster strikes is easy – and it makes good sense. Police, fire and rescue might not always be able to reach you quickly after a disaster. The most important step you can take in helping your local responders is being able to take care of yourself and your family; the more people who are prepared, the quicker the community will recover. Follow these four steps to better preparedness: 1. Be informed. Know what kinds of hazards can affect us here in northern Illinois and near where you live or work.

During a disaster, get information from credible sources.

2. Have a plan. Decide how

FROM THE HEALTH DEPT. Keri Zaleski CLARK+KENSINGTON Kings Canyon 2018

you will respond to possible disasters and keep all of your important information handy in one document. Your plan can include family meeting places, local and out-of-area contact people, medical histories, insurance information and important phone numbers.

3. Make a kit. Keep emergency supplies (water, nonperishable food, first aid, prescriptions, flashlight, battery-powered radio, etc.) on hand. Have enough supplies to last for three days. Consider creating both a shelter-inplace kit and a grab-and-go/ evacuation bag. Customize your kits to your family’s needs.

4. Get involved. Statistics show that in a disaster, people want to help. To do so, volunteers must be preidentified and credentialed.

Both nonmedical and medical volunteers are necessary – in a disaster, your help will definitely be needed. Call MCDH at 815-334-4510 to join the Medical Reserve Corps.

This year, McHenry County is focusing on turning awareness into action by encouraging you to create an emergency plan and volunteer for the MRC. Take a few simple actions to make your community and family safer.

The following websites are reliable sources for learning more about how to be informed, have a plan, and make a kit: www.ready.gov, www.ama-assn.org and www. mcdhprepare.info.

Maria Pinto to launch affordable line

By CARYN ROUSSEAU The Associated Press CHICAGO – Fashion designer Maria Pinto – famous for dressing first lady Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey – is back with a new, more affordable collection that she plans to launch with the help of an online funding campaign three years after a poor economy forced her close her Chicago boutique.

Pinto is trying to raise $250,000 within 45 days for her M2057 line on the Kickstarter crowd-funding website. According to Kickstarter rules, Pinto won’t get any funding if she doesn’t reach the $250,000 mark within 45 days.

“It’s just the way of the future,” Pinto said. “I think there’s something here to embrace, the fashion meeting technology.”

The capsule collection debuted just days before New York Fashion Week began. It includes seven dresses, two jackets, a shrug, a wrap, and two scarves made from Italian jersey and priced between $75 and $250. Pinto’s pieces once retailed at more than $900.

When the 45 days are over, Pinto will move the collection to her own website, but prices for dresses and jackets will go up to $275, she said.

Pinto won fames as the Chicago fashion designer who dressed Obama during the 2008 campaign. The first lady

lowers risk of arthritis

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com A couple of servings of salmon a week could help prevent a debilitating type of arthritis.

New medical research promotes the fatty fish as one way to cut the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis by half.

The long-term disease causes inflammation of the joints and surrounding tissues.

Though local experts say the benefits of the omega-3 fatty acids, or healthy fats, in fish can’t be argued, it’s all about a balanced diet.

“With nutrients, more isn’t always better,” said Tiffanie Young, a registered dietitian, licensed dietitian nutritionist and diabetes educator at Centegra Health System.

“You want to have a balance. An average of [eating fish] twice a week is ideal.

Keeping in mind there is no scientific evidence saying it is going to cure arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, it can be a habit that can be used as preventative.”

The latest study, reported in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, involved the diets of 32,000 Swedish women.

The women filled out two food questionnaires, one in the late1980s and another a decade later.

Those who consistently ate one serving of fatty fish a week for about 10 years developed rheumatoid arthritis at half the rate of women who ate little or no fish. The researchers factored in lifestyle, such as how often people smoked or drank alcohol, and the results held up.

A recommendation for overall healthy eating always has been to eat fatty fish, such as salmon, or leaner fish, such as cod, tinned tuna or haddock, weekly. The omega-3 fatty acids are believed to have a protective anti-inflammatory effect, medical researchers say.

Aside from arthritis, numerous conditions, such as heart disease, can arise as a result of chronic inflammation, Young said.

Much more common in women than men, rheumatoid

“You want to have a balance. An average of [eating ish] twice a week is ideal” Tiffanie Young Registered dietitian with Centegra Health System arthritis can trigger pain and eventually destroy cartilage and bone.

“There are other dietary recommendations for preventative care and keeping it from advancing,” Young said.

She suggests eating whole grains, as opposed to refined or enriched grains, as well as non-starchy vegetables, nuts and seeds. Limit saturated fats while avoiding trans fats, or unsaturated fats, often found in packaged and fast foods, she said.

“Keep simple sugars, sweets and processed foods to a minimum,” Young said.

“If you choose to consume alcohol, do it in moderation.

Excessive alcohol can increase inflammation as well as simple sugars and sweets.”

Also, she suggests eating a variety of fruits and vegetables. Flax seeds and walnuts also are good sources of omega-3, Young said.

Those diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis often are screened for nutrient deficiencies, she said. The inflammation can prevent those with the disease from having a good intake of a variety of foods, she said.

Supplements have become more accepted as an alternative, but Young said, “I think more research probably needs to be done.” And those taking supplements should consult with their health care providers, she said.

Among other foods recommended by the Arthritis Research Institute of America to decrease inflammation, improve joint flexibility and ease pain are bananas, blueberries, green tea, orange juice, tofu, peanut butter, lobster and pineapple.

The foods are identified by the institute as “super foods” that are nutrient dense.

6 Study: Eating salmon

A recent study reported in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases involved the diets of 32,000 Swedish women. Those who consistently ate one serving of fatty fish, such as salmon, a week for 10 years developed rheumatoid arthritis at half the rate of those who ate little or no fish.

Jeanne Phillips

Ex-wife throws wrench in plan for happy home Dear Abby: I am a divorced woman with three children ages 24, 22 and 16.

I live on my own with my girls. I have been dating a man, “Reed,” for three years. We are very much in love and have been working to blend our families. (He has two children.)

We have decided to move in together at the end of October. My lease will be up then, and Reed has sold his condo. We will be moving into the house he shared with the ex-wife while they were married. I’m comfortable with the move, and our kids are very excited about it.

Everything is fine except for one thing: His ex-wife has not yet found a new home to move into. With little time to go, he’s now suggesting we move in and live with his ex-wife until she finds a new place. Reed believes this will be very short-term – a month or so.

The house is big enough for all of us, so that’s not an issue. His ex-wife

and I are friendly, so that’s not an issue either. But I’m not comfortable with this plan.

Am I being irrational? Should I just act like a grown-up and make the move, or should I refuse? – Second

Thoughts In Massachusetts Dear Second Thoughts: You are neither immature nor irrational.

You are thinking ahead – and that is what grown-ups do. What if Reed’s ex CAN’T find a place that suits her in a month or so? What if it takes six months or even a year? While you may like the woman, do you really want to share your dwelling with the “Ghost of Marriage Past”?

If I were you, I’d talk to my landlord and ask if you can work out a monthto-month extension of your lease. If that’s agreeable, Reed can move in with YOU for the “short term.” I’m sure you’d both be happier.

Dear Abby: My mother is in her mid-50s. She’s a wonderful woman,

but she makes us late for everything.

My husband and children, my siblings and I often attend family functions and other events as a group. When we go to pick up Mom, she announces she has “just a few” chores she wants to do first, and they take forever.

We are not “a few” minutes late; we’re significantly late, and sometimes miss events altogether. These have included weddings and funerals, and we have wasted hundreds of dollars on tickets to missed events. She’ll often make a show of apologizing, but her behavior never changes.

We have stopped inviting Mom to some events, but she makes us feel guilty if we don’t take her to a family event. We have tried helping her do her chores the day before and lied about starting times. Nothing works, and Mom finds more to do.

We have asked her friends about this behavior. They say she never pulls these stunts when they pick her

up for things. When we talk to Mom about it, she insists she needs to get things done ahead of time. Her house isn’t messy, nor is it known for being overly tidy.

She’s in good mental and physical health. We’re fresh out of ideas on how to deal with this. Help. – Late For A

Very Important Date Dear Late: It’s interesting your mother doesn’t behave this way with her friends. That tells me her behavior is controlling – although it’s hard to understand what perverse pleasure she gets out of it.

I would handle it this way: Tell Mama you will pick her up at a certain time and that you will wait no longer than five minutes for her. If she’s not out by then, you will leave. And then DO it.

Relationships and recovery don’t mix Relationships in recovery can be pretty complicated.

First, early recovery is fraught with its own treacherous terrain. Add to that a highly emotionally charged relationship and one or two emotionally unprepared people and we have a recipe for trouble. It’s common practice for recovery groups to suggest a one-year moratorium on intimate relationships until the recovery has stabilized. That sure makes sense to me – get the boat to stop rocking before we enter the regatta.

There’s plenty of work to

do in the first year of sobriety, and establishing new patterns of relating is one of them. To expect to stay sober and to do the same things, to think the same way, would be unlikely.

Randy was sober for 18 months and had a relapse.

He drank periodically again for six months, and then with encouragement from his girlfriend re-entered AA and was working diligently on his sobriety. In the past, his girlfriend, who used to attend AA but “didn’t need it anymore,” was Randy’s primary source of support. In fact, he would

say she became his higher power.

Randy’s girlfriend would accuse him of drinking or using drugs and at the same time encourage him to take prescription medication. She alleged she didn’t need alcohol or drugs but would occasionally sneak a drink or two and had started stealing drugs from work.

Randy felt consistently guilty about his previous relapse history, and his girlfriend kept her activities secret partly by keeping Randy on his heels through

questioning, blaming him and implying he was weak.

Randy was confused and hurt. He knew he was trying his best to recover but didn’t yet trust himself because of previous relapses. His feet weren’t firmly planted, and his girlfriend was talking serenity and practicing chaos.

Randy wasn’t ready for an intimate relationship. He hadn’t established his own recovery parameters. He didn’t know who he was and what his own life needed to look like, and he was allowing himself to be shaped by

a person who was not well herself. This wasn’t the first time Randy had made these kinds of choices.

As hard as it was for him, he separated from his girlfriend and found a small place of his own. He found this very scary at first but stayed close to his sponsor and to his AA meetings. He would tell you today that this decision probably kept him sober and may have saved his life.

‘This is the story’ New Raue initiative shares inspiring journeys of women who create, overcome

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com The Raue Center for the Arts’ newest initiative celebrates women who’ve created, overcome or simply enjoyed learning through the years.

As part of an Artful Women Series, the center is hosting its first Artful Women Luncheon at 11 a.m. Sept. 19 on stage at the Raue, 26 N. Williams St., Crystal Lake.

The event will feature author Erane Scully of Woodstock, who wrote “The Carrion Vine,” a nonfiction account of her and her mother’s memories surviving two years in a Russian labor camp during World War II. An Artful Women Committee intends to host at least three to four programs a year at the Raue pertaining specifically to women’s issues to enlighten, inspire and encourage.

“We really want this to be relevant,” said Richard Kuranda, executive director of the Raue. “Whatever the subject matter, it has to have an impact on contemporary life.”

Kuranda said he’d heard from numerous members of the community about the need for more women’s programming.

He sought help from Rebecca Heisler, Artful Women Committee chairwoman and director of major donors at the Raue.

“I did what any guy would do. I went to the smartest women I know and say, ‘Hey, put this together,’ ” he said.

“She’s put together a fantastic program exploring all kinds of issues and topics relevant to contemporary society.

“Our first two events are really jumping into waters we haven’t tackled at the Raue in our programming. I’m just so proud of them across the board.”

The Artful Women Series began in July with a “Band of Sisters” documentary about Catholic nuns and their work for social justice after Vatican II. Future events likely will touch on a wide range of issues, Heisler said.

“It could be an artist. It

Kate Wilford (center) and Jeanne Slater (right) of the Raue Center for the Arts talk with Joy McGuire of Crystal Lake during a gathering Thursday for the Artful Women Series at 26 North in Crystal Lake. Artful Women is a new initiative by the Raue Center for the Arts to showcase work by women artists.

Artful Women Luncheon WHAT: Luncheon featuring author Erane Scully WHEN: 11 a.m. Sept. 19 WHERE: Raue Center for the Arts, 26 N. Williams St., Crystal Lake TICKETS: $33 INFORMATION: To RSVP, call Rebecca Heisler at 815-356-9010, ext. 22.

could be performing artists, visual artists. We have no parameters right now. It could be women that have overcome ... anything that would be educational and of interest to

women,” she said.

The Artful Women Luncheon, featuring Scully, touches on both historical issues as well as the story of the relationship and challenges faced by a

mother and daughter, she said.

“She’s telling her story in memorial for her mother,” Heisler said of Scully.

Having self-published 1,500 copies of the book, Scully said all hard copies have been sold, mainly locally and through word of mouth. The book still is available on e-book through Kindle and Nook.

Inspired by her mother to write the book, Scully would sit with her, before her mother’s death, and skim through a diary she kept while in the labor camp. The diary basically was

made out of scraps of paper her mother could gather.

“She always insisted it was my job to do it, to let people know what happened,” said Scully, who is now 88 years old and working on a follow-up to the book. “I finally fulfilled her wish, and I published her book.”

The two ended up in the labor camp while spending their vacation in western Poland.

When the war started in 1939, they were trapped and told to move east away from the German army.

They eventually were arrested, taken on a cattle train and placed in a hard labor camp in Siberia, Scully remembered.

“My mother was always so angry about the idea of anybody treating people this way, not just her and me, but the thousands of people we were with,” she said. “She could not understand it. She said, ‘This has to be show. This should not be swept under the carpet.’

“She kept saying I was assigned to do the story, and I did it. It took me forever to put it all together, but this is the story.”

Signs made by LeAnne Stowe of Overland Park, Kan., sell through her home-based business, Annie’s Barn on Etsy.

Signs are everywhere – so make your own

By JENNIFER FORKER The Associated Press Walk into a crafts or home furnishings store today and notice all the signs: rows upon rows of pre-fabricated signs that speak of love, blessings, family and home.

There’s the ubiquitous “Live, Laugh, Love” and “Kiss the cook.” Other signs offer guidance for staying strong, building courage or getting happy.

Those signs can’t be that difficult to make – and personalize – ourselves, right?

LeAnne Stowe of Overland Park, Kan., said if perfection is not the goal, signs are “super easy to make.” She started handcrafting some a year ago after viewing a tutorial on the website Pinterest. They fit well with Stowe’s interest in refurbishing “rescued relics,” aka flea-market finds, which she sells on her Facebook page and at her Etsy.com store, Annie’s Barn.

She paints her signs mostly on inexpensive pine boards or recycled barn wood.

“People love the rustic feel of barn wood,” Stowe said.

In the beginning, she painted on stretched cotton canvas – cheap and available at any crafts store – using vinyl letters and acrylic paint (spray paint works, outside or in a well-ventilated room). Place the vinyl letters on the canvas, spray or brush paint over the entire surface (then maybe again for a second coat after the first one dries), lift off the

Feeling crafty?

Find this DIY idea and more at Pinterest.com/NWHerald/homegarden. lettering and voila.

The canvas itself can be painted or wrapped (and stapled in back) with a vibrant fabric beforehand to give the message added pizazz.

This is the way homemade signs ought to be made, asserted Bob Richter, an interior designer and cast member of PBS’ treasure-hunting series “Market Warriors.”

“The more rustic the better.

That’s what gives it its charm,” Richter said. “Anytime you’re asking for perfection in a home project, you’re asking for trouble.”

Stowe sells signs that list lake cabin or porch rules (“Feel the breeze,” “Read a book”).

Stowe distresses the cheap pine boards with a hammer and other tools, or treats the barn wood with a bleach-andwater mixture to kill tiny critters. She follows that with a coat of primer paint, then paint, often latex. Her vinyl letters are arranged, and then the entire surface is rollered with a contrasting color of paint.

After the letters are removed and the paint dries, Stowe distresses the piece with sand paper. She drills holes at the top for bailing wire for hanging. Finally, she seals the sign with a clear wax to make it weather-resistant for hanging outdoors.

Although very different in appearance, the sapphire and ruby are sister stones. Both gems belong to the corundum mineral family. Red corundum, colored by traces of chromium, is called ruby while blue corundum, colored by traces of titanium and iron, is known as sapphire. All colors of corundum are known as sapphire except for the red ruby. Ranking a 9 on the Moh’s Hardness Scale, it is second in hardness only to diamonds.

Sapphires have been a long time favorite among priests and kings, who considered them symbolic of wisdom and purity. They were thought to be protective against envy and poisoning. When ground into a powder, it is believed to cure colic, rheumatism and mental illness and strengthen eyesight.

A sapphire is the recommended gemstone for the 5th and 45th wedding anniversaries.

A gift of this blue beauty represents sincerity, peace and faithfulness.

It is important to have your sapphire jewelry cleaned and inspected at least every six months. As with all gemstones, care should be taken to avoid scratches, sharp blows, and extreme temperature changes.

“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

“Riddick” H1/2

STARRING: Vin Diesel, Karl Urban, Jordi Molla, Matt Nable, Katee Sackhoff PLOT: Left for dead on a sun-scorched planet, Riddick inds himself up against an alien race of predators.

Activating an emergency beacon alerts two ships: one carrying a new breed of mercenary, the other captained by a man from Riddick’s past.

RATED: R for strong violence, language and some sexual content/nudity TIME: 1 hour, 59 minutes VERDICT: By now, the saga of escaped convict and galactic outlaw Richard Riddick is a well-established sci-fi benchmark. As the substantial lore surrounding Riddick aspires to achieve mythic proportions, expectations also escalate, challenging successive releases to augment the gritty antihero’s legendary status.

Succinctly titling the third film “Riddick” would seem to telegraph a determinative evolution of the ongoing narrative, rather than the largely episodic exercise franchise director David Twohy and starproducer Vin Diesel have delivered.

Duped into relinquishing the crown

of Lord Marshal of the Necromongers by his nemesis Vaako (Karl Urban), an entitlement hard-won in “The Chronicles of Riddick,” the notorious murderer Riddick (Diesel) ends up stranded on another blisteringly inhospitable planet instead of enjoying a return to his home world of Furya, as Vaako led him to expect. Fending off attacks by hyena-like wild canines and battling carnivorous amphibians reminiscent of giant scorpions, Riddick makes it out of the heat-blasted desert to the sanctuary of the adjacent high plains, where he finds refuge in an outpost set up by a network of galactic mercenaries. Relative safety turns out to be unrewarding, however, and with no other way to escape the inhospitable planet, Riddick activates the beacon device that alerts an extensive bounty-hunter network to his location. First to arrive from off-world are Santana (Jordi Molla) and his thuggish cohorts, who collectively possess more brawn than brains. Close behind, Boss Johns (Matt Nable) pilots a better-skilled crew that includes crack sniper Dahl (Katee Sackhoff), the only woman among the testosterone-fueled hunters. Riddick’s intention is to separate one of the spaceships from its crew and flee. Santana, however, is determined to sever Riddick’s head from his body so he can claim the bounty, particularly since it’s doubled if the fugitive is confirmed dead. Vastly outnumbered and out-armed, Riddick has only the weapons he’s improvised with – materials harvested from the local flora and fauna, along with a fierce native canine he’s managed to semi-domesticate – to fend off the mercenaries and make a break for freedom. Significantly dialing back on “Chronicles’ ” sprawling scale, the latest installment feels tentative even at a flabby 120 minutes, more like a placeholder that barely advances the considerable Riddick mythology. Playing it safe with a script that offers Riddick up as a lone avenging hero, Twohy passes on the opportunity to effectively shade the character’s distinctive dimensionality. Plenty of bone crunching and blood gushing, along with some selective nudity, have boosted the movie’s rating up to an “R,” but lacking the distinctive visual style, robust production design and planet-hopping pace of its predecessor, “Riddick” feels mired in stasis.

• BILLY Continued from page 16 “I was anxious about turning 60 – it felt like a huge number. Derek Jeter happened to be at our hotel.”

Jeter “happened” to be there, and also happened to be a longtime friend who asked Crystal to make a birthday wish.

On March 13, 2008, Crystal was allowed an at-bat during a Yankees exhibition game.

“Dreams have come true for me in so many different ways that’s it’s almost astounding,” he says. “As I was writing these things, other people reacted to them – I’ve lived through them, but other people say, ‘Do you realize how many great things have happened?’ ” He has had disappointments – minor, major and

profound. Joe DiMaggio once punched him in the stomach (Crystal, hosting a tribute at Yankee Stadium for Mantle, had failed to introduce DiMaggio as “the greatest living” baseball player). He was scheduled to appear on the debut broadcast of “Saturday Night Live,” but his segment was cut. The 1992 film “Mr. Saturday Night,” which Crystal directed and starred in, was a critical and commercial letdown that kicked off a dry spell and made Crystal wonder if his movie career was over.

But the real wound was sustained at age 15 when his father died of a heart attack.

Jack Crystal was a jazz promoter and producer, and his son’s first audience.

“That’s how you start,” Billy Crystal says, “making your parents laugh. And he was a really great mentor in looking

at these really great comedians on television and saying, ‘Watch Laurel and Hardy and not The Three Stooges.’ ‘You can stay up late, even though it’s a school night.’ Then you can watch Ernie Kovacs and stay up for Jack Paar because Jonathan Winters is on.”

With the 50th anniversary of his father’s death approaching, Crystal decided it was a good time for another run, likely the last, of “700 Sundays.”

“I love the energy of Broadway and I thought this was the way to commemorate it [his father’s death] and then put the show to rest,” he says.

“I see the thread [in life] as I always end up returning to the stage, to get up in front of people and make them laugh and make them look at themselves and make them nod their heads and go, ‘Oh, that’s me, too.’ ”

Crystal: ‘700 Sundays’ for Dad

Dear Billy Crystal’s new book recounts journey from Sha Na Na to Yankee Stadium

By HILLEL ITALIE The Associated Press

B

illy Crystal remembers a show in Baltimore, around 1975, when he opened for the ’50s revival act Sha Na Na. He was an unknown comic at the time, an unknown who happened to look exactly like one of Sha Na Na’s lead singers, Johnny Contardo.

“I’m introduced, and I have no billing,” Crystal says during a recent interview. “ ‘Please welcome another star of our show and an up-and-coming new comic ...’ That was the ’70s. Whenever you heard ‘up-and-coming new comic,’ it was like ‘Ugh.’ “When I hit the stage, they thought I was Johnny playing a guy named Billy Crystal and they booed and they hissed and so forth.

And I started getting in their face, in a funny way. And I finished my set and I got a standing ovation after I walked off. And Johnny got a T-shirt that he would wear, and it said, ‘No, I’m not Billy Crystal.’ ” It’s been a long time since Billy Crystal has been mistaken for anyone else.

At 65, he has the same round face, scrappy New York accent and rubbery grin known to fans of “Analyze This,” “When Harry Met Sally ...” and all those Oscar telecasts. Seated in his publicist’s office, sipping coffee from a paper Starbucks cup, he looks at least a decade younger than his age and is working at the same pace – constant – that he’s kept up for much of his life.

He’s set to star in a film comedy directed by Frank Oz and this fall will return to Broadway with his one-man show about his childhood and his father, “700 Sundays.” His whole life is on record for his current project, the memoir “Still Foolin’ ’Em,” which set off a million-dollar bidding war among publishers last spring that was finally won by Henry Holt and Company.

Turning 65 was all the inspiration he needed.

“All of my really dear friends who are the same age are pretty much saying the same thing, which is basically, ‘Wow. Jeez. This is really happening,’ ” he says. “You go through stages – first day of school, ‘It’s a bar mitzvah,’ ‘a wedding.’ ‘You know who died?’ ” Crystal is both a typical baby boomer, baseball fan and political liberal who brags about his grandchildren and can’t believe that he’s a grandfather and a VIP who seems to have lived out every childhood fantasy – a star of movies, television and the stage, befriended by Muhammad Ali and Mickey Mantle, adored by Sophia Loren. During one Oscar show, Jack Nicholson and Warren Beatty stopped by his dressing room to compliment him. Beatty and Bill Clinton turned up backstage after a performance of “700 Sundays.”

He has not only palled around with Mantle, Yogi Berra and other New York Yankees, he even got to play for them.

“In 2007, I was in Costa Rica for Christmas vacation and could feel my birthday looming,” Crystal writes in his memoir.

Crystal still ‘mahvalous’

By JEFF AYERS The Associated Press

Billy Crystal looks back on his life and career in “Still Foolin’ ’Em: Where I’ve Been, Where I’m Going, and Where the Hell Are My Keys?” He writes in such a relaxed style that the reading experience feels more like he’s talking about his life and thoughts over a friendly cup of coffee.

The book includes essays about his age or sex, and these sections are clearly designed to be funny. The 65-year-old comedian delivers numerous chuckles and flat-out belly laughs.

Crystal reflects on growing up, meeting his wife and getting his start in comedy.

He provides behind-the-scenes material for some of his biggest career achievements, including the film “When Harry Met Sally ...” and the TV series “Soap.”

The personal anecdotes resonate, and reading about the ups and downs of his life is inspiring. Just when he gets close to being maudlin, another humorous essay pops up to lighten the mood.

One of the themes running throughout his stories is his age. But here is a man who pursued his dreams, achieved them and exceeded beyond even his lofty expectations.

Crystal has the charisma, humor and down-home charm that fans have loved over the years. And the love for his family clearly shines through the words.

To quote one of his most famous characters, Billy Crystal, “you look mahvalous.”
