DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH

Ending a violent cycle Police, nonprofits work together to halt domestic abuse

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com

CRYSTAL LAKE – Sometimes the call for help comes in the middle of a shouting match and sometimes it comes through from the silence on the other end.

Huntley Police Sgt. Linda Hooten said officers can never be sure what to expect on domestic disturbance calls, but their response must be more than that of someone only looking to enforce the law.

Hooten, who also serves on the Family Violence Coordinating Council, said officers often walk into a hostile environment during domestic disputes, even from the victim, who may not want to see a significant other in trouble. But, Hooten said, it is important that victims know there are options other than remaining in an environment where abuse could escalate from verbal to physical and even become fatal.

“From the outside, you can always see a clear solution,” she said. “But sometimes it’s difficult for the victim on the inside to see the light at the end of that tunnel.”

With October marking the start of Domestic Violence Awareness Month,

More enter ’14 County Board races D-3 GOP primary could be 5-way race for 2 seats

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com The Republican primary ballot for McHenry County Board District 3 could end up being a five-way race for two open seats.

Attorney Sarah Jansen, who spent four years as an assistant McHenry County state’s attorney, announced last week that she would run for office. Nunda Precinct Committeeman James Becker also pulled a petition. District 3 includes all of Nunda Township, southeastern McHenry and northeastern Algonquin townships, including all or parts of Crystal Lake, McHenry, Bull Valley, Prairie Grove, Holiday Hills and Lakemoor.

“I want to ensure McHenry County remains a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family. Given recent events in Washington, it is clear we need good leaders who can work together in all levels of government. I know I am the right person for the job,” Jansen said in a news release.

On the ballot n All 12 County Board incumbents up for election next year. n Voters in House District 65 will elect a new representative. n Also up for election next year are all statewide constitutional offices, the U.S. Senate seat held by Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin, and all seats in the U.S. and state houses of representatives.

LOCALLY SPEAKING

WASHINGTON – A rare flash of bipartisanship Saturday served as a cruel tease to those hoping Congress is moving toward reopening the government and averting an unprecedented default on the federal debt in less than two weeks.

Only two days after House Speaker John Boehner raised hopes by telling colleagues he won’t let the nation go into default, key members of both parties conceded that no one has presented a plausible plan for

FUTURE UP IN THE AIR FOR POOL The Marengo Park District is contemplating closing its pool to help save a budget drowning in outstanding debt. If the pool does close, the residents’ nearest public pool options would be Woodstock or Huntley. A Park District Board committee plans to discuss the pool closure during a meeting Wednesday evening. The board would look to make a final decision on the pool by year’s end. For more, see page B1.

Law enforcement undergo special training • ABUSE

“If even one person is not coming forward, then we are not doing our job.

Everyone needs to feel safe and secure calling the police or a counseling agency if they are in an abusive situation.”

Continued from page A1 Hooten and other area police officials said it is a good opportunity to shed light on a problem that law enforcement is attacking aggressively.

In Huntley, officers have been giving victims informational brochures about community resources, engaging in follow-ups and participating in frequent training. The result has been a decline in domestic incidents, falling from 277 in 2011 to 223 in 2012 and 160 so far in 2013.

But other departments, such as the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office, have seen a fairly consistent number of domestic violence calls.

In 2011, the department fielded 735 calls and made 206 arrests. The arrest number dropped slightly to 201 in 2012 and is at 142 so far in 2013. Undersheriff Andrew Zinke said the numbers are not necessarily bad, as it means victims are not scared to come forward.

Zinke said the more domestic violence becomes part of public discourse, the better.

“If even one person is not coming forward, then we are not doing our job,” Zinke said.

“Everyone needs to feel safe and secure calling the police or a counseling agency if they are in an abusive situation.”

Robert Lowen, chief of Woodstock Police Department, said one challenge in domestic violence calls not often seen in other incidents is the gray area when it comes to making arrests.

Lowen said that when domestic disturbances happen, the victim often will call police before the situation escalates to physical abuse. When the officer arrives, the parties involved often can be talked down, which Lowen said is great, but it also leaves the door open for multiple offenses.

“We’ll get called to some

That is why Lowen said it is important officers go above and beyond enforcing the law and let the victim and offender know what services are available. When people find themselves in a relationship that is not “well-balanced,” Lowen said, services such as the Family Violence Coordinating Council and Turning Point – the only shelter in McHenry County – offer information and intervention.

Those who find themselves falling into the same pattern of aggressive and abusive behavior have many options in counseling for drug and alcohol abuse – the primary cause of domestic violence, Lowen said.

Lowen said officers have to be as adaptive as ever with the changing nature of domestic violence because of more family members living under one roof.

“We’re constantly going through special training and extra training. We always send at least two people per call, too,” Lowen said. “You never know what you’re going to encounter. It’s son-father, brother-sister. It runs the

whole gamut of family members now.”

Turning Point has played a crucial role in training police officers throughout McHenry County about the relationship between enforcing domestic violence laws and offering services to address the root of those problems.

Executive Director Jane Farmer said the seamless relationship and continuous training is important to stopping domestic violence. In 2012, Turning Point served 1,252 adult victims and 204 children – 47 of whom were under 5 years old.

The organization also had 154 people go through its 26week partner intervention program and handled about 4,300 calls on its hotline.

“The relationship with police is very important, and I think it has grown and changed as we figure out our responsibilities,” Farmer said. “They can go ahead and handle the perpetrator while we handle the victim.”

Bev Thomas, director for the local Family Violence Coordinating Council, said a community symposium on substance abuse and family violence will be held from 7:45 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 25 at McHenry County College in the Luecht Conference Center.

The $15 admission includes breakfast, lunch and multiple workshops and presentations about men’s issues, teens and alcohol and other contributing factors to domestic violence. Those interested can call 815-455-8593 for information.

8WORLD BRIEF U.S. hits extremists behind E. Africa attacks MOGADISHU, Somalia – In a stealthy seaside assault in Somalia in search of a man linked to last month’s attack on a Nairobi shopping mall.

A U.S. Navy SEAL team slipped ashore near a southern Somalia town before the alQaida-linked militants rose for dawn prayers, U.S. and Somali officials told The Associated

Press. The raid on a house in the town of Barawe targeted a specific al-Qaida suspect related to the mall attack, but the operation did not get its target, one current and one former U.S. military official told AP. Saturday’s raid in Somalia occurred 20 years after the famous “Black Hawk Down” battle in Mogadishu in which a mission to capture Somali war-

lords went awry after Somali militiamen shot down two U.S. helicopters. Eighteen 18 U.S. forces were killed in the battle, and it marked the beginning of the end of that U.S. military mission to bring stability to the Horn of Africa nation. Since then, U.S. military intervention has been limited to missile attacks and lightning operations by special forces.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Say no to violence To the Editor: October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and Turning Point is getting the word out to everyone so they will know. Last year, Turning Point served 1,727 clients in one year alone; 204 of them were children and 47 were under the age of 5. A toddler doesn’t understand that there is help out there, much less mom or dad.

Turning Point has services for the whole family. We have emergency services, individual and group counseling, as well as services in Spanish for the Latina population. We also have Partner Abuse Intervention services that help the abuser learn there is another way to handling his/her anger.

Turning Point handled 4,704 hotline calls. Along with this, we went into 104 area schools and colleges to present to 6,164 students, thanks to the Choose Respect group and Molly Horton.

Our shelter is the only one providing help for domestic violence victims in our county.

With a secure fence, double entry, bedroom-wing windows that don’t open for fear of the abuser gaining access to the client, and we are directly linked to the Wood-

stock Police Department.

Everyone has the right to live in a safe and comfortable home, free from violence. Please join Turning Point and say no to violence!

No to war To the Editor: If we want to stop barbarism, before we start another war in Syria, we should ban all torture ourselves. Not until then should we start another war. We secretly waterboarded other helpless victims.

We have tortured people in Central America, such as in Nicaragua and El Salvador, and even backed the torturous Chilean dictator Gen. Pinochet. The federal government should first check what it does wrong, and not go to war with Syria, despite what Syria’s government has done.

Also, we have been the world’s policemen perpetually. Let oil-rich Middle Easteners such as Saudi Arabia be the policemen instead.

Weapons makers profit most, and that has been our course. Corporations such as Haliburton prefer a guaranteed customer (the U.S.) and huge profits.

To start a war, sympathy must be found for it. To start war in Iraq, former President George Bush got intelligence to find chemical weapons there. After the war, no WMDs were found.

Conservatives, before this at least, said that we have a deficit, thus war is unaffordable. Using children as war victims as motivation is a super ploy to start war.

Children here are going hungry and homeless, too; single payer for all health care, and improved infrastructure, is needed here.

why are they forcing a shutdown that ultimately will be blamed upon them? Why not let Obamacare take effect and let the disaster happen? Then Obamacare would be repealed, the Republicans would be heroes, and the Democrats would be driven out of office.

Here’s what I do get. The Republican Party does not want a major Democratic Party program to succeed, whether it’s Obamacare or anything else. They have, and will continue to, stonewall every new idea unless it’s their own. I don’t have a problem with that, with either party doing it, because that’s what democracy is all about.

But where are the Republican Party ideas? Hello, Earth calling the Republican Party. Idea up or shut up.

Ron Hansen Wonder Lake

Battle to repeal Obamacare can be won only in the states If Republicans were smart (I know, but stay with me), their focus during the Obamacare debate should have been less on blocking its implementation and more on a page they might have taken from the Democrat’s playbook, which is to rally the country to its side by use of sentimentality and the threat of impending doom. The good news for Republicans is that there’s still time.

It’s a sure bet Democrats are right now writing sob stories of tearful children barred from the Lincoln Memorial because of the government “shutdown.” The National Zoo in Washington inexplicably turned off its unmanned Panda Cam, which showed video of the newborn panda cub on the Internet. Boohoo.

A recent CBS News poll found that 54 percent of Americans disapprove of Obamacare. Republicans should

respond with a campaign to encourage citizen outrage.

The Republican Party might create a series of TV and radio ads to run in states where Democrats are vulnerable in next year’s Senate and House races. Here are a few suggestions as to what these ads might highlight: • Doctors who have quit their practices because they can no longer make a living under the voluminous federal requirements and rising costs of the new health-care law would tell their stories. Similarly, because with Obamacare you may not be able to keep your old doctor, depending on the network you choose, show people lamenting this loss.

Yes, the Democrats could counter with ads showing people who say they had no insurance before Obamacare and they can now have their chronic diseases treated. Republicans

VIEWS Cal Thomas might respond by saying the insurance “cure” may be worse than the disease and could ultimately reduce the quality and affordability of treatment for many others.

For example, instead of saving $2,500 per person as President Barack Obama promised, according to Forbes magazine, “Obamacare will add $7,450 to average health-care spending for a family of four between 2014 and 2022.”

• People can be shown opening envelopes from their private insurance companies that announce higher premiums, contradicting the president’s promises regarding the low-cost

benefits of the Affordable Care Act. • Show young people who had planned to become doctors choosing other professions, claiming Obamacare has made the practice of medicine less desirable.

• Provide testimonials from the British, who languish under the weight of a ponderous universal health system, about long waits to see general practitioners, additional waiting time to see a specialist and still more delays for any kind of government-approved medical procedure.

The tagline might be, “Take it from us, America. You don’t know what’s coming. We do.”

If the United Kingdom, whose population of slightly more than 62 million people, is experiencing severe problems and potential insolvency with its 65-year-old National Health Service, why would anyone believe

“Term limits will solve many problems – at the state and federal level.”

“Don’t care.”

Jennifer Tusa Howes Chicago

a government-run health insurance system in the United States and the health-care monstrosity that must inevitably follow will be any more successful with a population more than 300 million?

This battle will not be won in Washington. It must be won in the states. Only when Americans awaken to where Obamacare inevitably leads will Republicans have a chance of winning the Senate in 2014 and the White House in 2016. Only then might Obamacare be repealed.

With most diseases, early detection is important. An early repeal of Obamacare is equally vital – before it has a chance to metastasize.

Northwest Herald Web Poll Question

GENERAL INFORMATION: 815-459-4040

In Kenya mall siege, attackers used ‘less is more’ strategy The ASSOCIATED PRESS NAIROBI, Kenya – Salim Massebellah had just reached the parking lot at Nairobi’s premiere mall. Private guards inspected his trunk, then passed a mirror underneath his vehicle, checking for the exposed wires that would indicate a bomb. That was the weapon of choice of al-Shabab, the terrorist group Kenyans had been warned might one day target their capital.

Moments later, the shooting erupted.

The terrified guards ran, dropping the mirror. It hit the pavement with a clang.

Sitting stiffly at the wheel, Massebellah saw the two attackers pass by his car. Each one was holding a single, beltfed machine gun. What neither of them was wearing was a suicide vest. “They were shooting indiscriminately,” said Massebellah. “There was nothing the guards could have done.”

Experts say the attackers’ choice of weapons, including AK-47s and grenades, was decidedly low-tech for alShabab, the al-Qaida affiliate based in neighboring Somalia which is known for their lethal use of suicide bombers.

And it’s this very decision to use small arms, instead of explosives, that made possible the most deadly terrorist attack in Kenya since the 1998 bombing of the United States embassy, analysts say.

If copied elsewhere, including in Western countries, this style of attack could prove equally difficult to stop, both because public places like malls cannot be protected in the same manner as government buildings, and because security services are trained to detect explosives, not small arms.

“My assessment has always been that the day that al-Shabab lets go of the ‘Cult of the Suicide Bomber,’ we will be in world of trouble,” said Matt Bryden, the former coordinator of the United Nations Monitoring Group on Somalia and Eritrea. “It’s far more complicated to procure the parts for an explosive vest, as well as to find people willing to

In this photo taken from footage from Citizen TV, made available Friday, a man reported to be Umayr, one of the four armed militants, is seen walking in a store at the Westgate Mall during the four-day-long siege at the mall in Nairobi, Kenya, which killed more than 60 people last month. be martyrs. I always worried that if you just get guys riding in with AK-47s and grenades, they could do incredible damage,” he said. “We have now reached that dangerous place.”

Closed circuit television footage retrieved from Westgate Mall shows only four attackers took part in the prolonged siege, though others may have been a part of the Sept. 21 attack and fled, according to a government official close to the investigation who insisted on anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the matter. This handful of fighters easily overpowered the mall’s unarmed security guards, killing over 60 civilians and leaving the mall awash in blood. It would be hours before Kenya’s notoriously dysfunctional military arrived on the scene in force, leaving petrified shoppers to fend for themselves.

8TODAY’S TALKER

By JEFF MARTIN The Associated Press GRANTVILLE, Ga. – When the cotton mill closed, the rural Georgia town of Grantville began a slow transformation into a ghost town.

Residents fled. Storefronts faded. Buildings decayed.

Over the decades, time turned the remains of the town into something almost post-apocalyptic, the perfect modern-day set for humans and “walkers” to attack one another. That’s how the hugely popular TV show “The Walking Dead” ended up coming to town and bringing new life to Grantville.

Several key scenes in one episode from the AMC series were filmed on and near a one-block stretch of antique buildings on Grantville’s Main Street.

The series’ fourth season premieres on Oct. 13. Crews have been filming the new episodes in Georgia, but they keep locations of future episodes closely guarded secrets until the shows air.

In Grantville, the town’s ruins were featured promi-

Bodies of walkers slain on the show were buried in a vacant lot beneath the brick archway remaining from a cotton mill building. Gunshots were fired from a nearby rooftop.

than 3,600 visitors have taken a free tour led by Grantville Mayor Jim Sells, who explains where each scene from the “Clear” episode – during which the character Morgan makes it his mission to “clear” walkers by killing them – was filmed.

Visitors have come from as far as Australia, Singapore and Brazil, giving new life to the town through tourism, Sells said. He calls it phenomenal, but adds: “We don’t understand it.”

“Nobody came after they filmed ‘Lawless’ and ‘Broken Bridges’ here,” he said, referring to movies shot in the town.

“But once this episode aired from ‘The Walking Dead,’ people started showing up from all over.”

What’s your favorite Chicago-based TV drama?

At the front entrance of the mall, 37-year-old Mamtaz Jamal ran a promotional table selling creams. That morning she had carefully laid out one of her tubs of milk-and-honey scrub, putting a decorative halo of pebbles around the circular pot. She heard an earsplitting bang, and looked up to see the glass walls of a nearby jewelry shop shattering.

The attackers had lobbed a grenade inside. She ran, looking back just long enough to see that one of the attackers had grabbed a Caucasian man. He was holding him by the back of the neck, forcing him to walk in front, like a human shield. “With his other hand he was shooting,” said Jamal.

It was as if the fighter was expecting to be met with return fire. But the first men to return fire, including off-duty cops and members of a neighborhood watch group, were using pistols to fight hardened terrorists with automatic weapons.

“Perhaps the most alarming thing about the operation is that it was lowtech,” says Richard Downie, the deputy director of the Africa program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “Clearly someone has realized that you don’t need to assemble bombs and suicide vests. All you need is some light arms and grenades, then you choose a soft target – and off you go,” says Downie, who testified before Congress this week on al-Shabab’s evolving tactics.

Former FBI agent Don Borelli, who investigated al-Shabab’s 2010 attack in Uganda, said that even in the United States, law enforcement would struggle to contain an attack of this nature. “To be quite honest, we are not protected.

The average mall in the U.S. does not involve walking through metal detectors. It’s a very soft target. The security there wouldn’t be any match for a group of people with assault weapons. Even a police officer is not designed to stand up to military weapons. ... So in terms of vulnerability, we are very vulnerable.”

Illinois’ federal wildlife areas shut down – for now ada geese that use the area as a rest stop along the migratory route known as the Mississippi Flyway.

“This is prime time for hunting, fishing, just getting outside because the weather is so beautiful, enjoying scenery. Unfortunately all those lands are closed,” Traxler said.

Throughout its eight-state Midwest region, the agency has put more than 800 employees on unpaid furlough and closed more than 1.2 million acres of federal public land.

Affected lands include McHenry Co.’s fledgling Hackmatack refuge The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – The federal government’s partial shutdown has placed more than 128,000 acres of wildlife refuges and other lands off limits in Illinois, including a prized swath of hiking and hunting territory on the edge of the Ozark foothills that contributes millions of dollars to the area’s economy.

The U.S. Fish and Wild-

life Service announced Saturday nationwide closures, including eight wildlife refuges around Illinois. All recreational activities at those locations – including hunting, fishing, environmental education and public events – have been canceled. The agency also shut several offices and facilities around the state.

Those closures are in addition to the recent shutdown of more than 56,000 acres of rec-

8STATE BRIEFS Disabled woman sues Illinois hotel over firing ROCKFORD – A northern Illinois woman is accusing a hotel of firing her because she used an oxygen tank for respiratory illnesses.

The disability rights group Equip For Equality filed a lawsuit Friday in federal court in Rockford on behalf of Donna Colvin of Oregon, Ill. According to the lawsuit, Colvin was a front desk clerk at the Paddle Wheel Inn, a northwestern Illinois hotel located on the Rock River. Colvin suffers from asthma, pulmonary disease and sleep apnea.

Colvin said she was told not to work at the front desk and later dismissed from her position after she began using the oxygen tank prescribed by her doctor.

Colvin is seeking compensation for unpaid overtime, expenses and damages.

The Paddle Wheel Inn’s owners could not be reached for comment.

Missing quarter delays Ill. fire department grant LINCOLN – A federal grant to a central Illinois fire department has been held up over a debt of just 25 cents on an earlier funding award.

The (Bloomington) Pantagraph reported that the city of Lincoln received a $39,506 federal grant in 2009 for a new exhaust system at its fire department. The city spent $39,505.75 and didn’t return the extra quarter.

Lincoln Fire Chief Mark Miller said he was told a new grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for inspections would be held up until the 25 cents was returned.

Miller said the department spent the better part of three days getting verification paperwork done to return the money. He’s since received an approval letter and expects the new grant money to come in three weeks.

Illinois woman charged in grandmother’s death DES PLAINES – A woman accused of shoving her grandmother during an argument has been charged with first-degree murder after the victim died of her injuries.

Thirty-three-year-old Lynn Bingaman of Des Plaines was initially charged with aggravated domestic battery.

But prosecutors accused her of the more serious offense Friday after the Cook County medical examiner determined the woman’s grandmother died of blunt trauma and ruled her death a homicide.

Local media reported that

after being pushed, 83-year-old Betty Knaack struck her head on a chair.

Knaack was conscious and responsive when paramedics arrived but later died.

Des Plaines Detective Cmdr.

Randy Akin said the argument appeared to be over several matters, including Bingaman’s wanting to use a computer.

Bingaman was denied bond and remains in custody.

Former Gov. Otto Kerner focus of conference SPRINGFIELD – Former Illinois Gov. Otto Kerner’s complex legacy will be the focus of an upcoming conference at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum.

The daylong conference next month will feature political experts, former Kerner aides and journalists who will assess the state’s 33rd governor.

Kerner was a Chicago Democrat who won his first term in 1960. As governor, he modernized state services for the mentally ill and backed a statewide system of community colleges.

Kerner left the governor’s office and was appointed to the federal bench. His time as a judge was cut short by accusations that he had accepted bribes as governor.

Kerner was convicted in 1973 for mail fraud, conspiracy and perjury. Now, some are questioning the case against him and the legal theory underlying the charges.

reational land managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Illinois, including Carlyle Lake, the state’s largest manmade lake.

The wildlife refuges include Crab Orchard, a popular area of woodlands, grasslands and wetlands that juts into a lake to the west of Marion in southern Illinois. It sits on the edge of the Ozarks and draws around a 1 million visitors a year, the most of the eight

closed refuges. Its recreation programs generate $25 million a year, according to the agency.

The shutdown hits at an especially bad time because so many of the refuge’s visitors come in the fall for the waterfowl and deer hunting seasons and for educational programs, agency spokesman Chuck Traxler said.

Others pour in to see the hundreds of thousands of Can-

Federal boost for farms’ renewal energy in doubt The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Solar panels are cropping up alongside corn on Timothy Ridgely’s Illinois farm. Irrigation equipment powered by the sun is pumping away on Daniel Chin’s third-generation Oregon potato farm. And manure is being converted to electricity on an Ohio hog farm.

Across rural America, thousands of farms and small businesses are turning to renewable energy to cut costs and boost their often uncertain bottom lines, increasingly with the help of a decade-old federal program that aimed to hasten change in a part of the economy that had been slow to embrace it – yet where the electric bill can mean the difference between hiring a worker or laying one off.

Some were skeptical.

Last year, he said, he cut his $5,500-a-year electric bill by about 40 percent when he installed a batch of panels.

After installing more panels with help from the Agriculture Department’s Rural Energy for America Program, he figures he’ll be 100 percent self-sufficient.

“It takes a lot of electricity to run the house and barns, and every little bit helps,” said Ridgely, who also touts

Accidentally released Ill. inmate back in custody VIENNA – A Vienna Correctional Center inmate who was accidentally released by the Illinois Department of Corrections is back in custody.

Corrections Department spokesman Tom Shaer said 38-year-old Michael Sanders was apprehended without incident in Champaign about 6 p.m.

Friday, about three hours after he’d been released. Sanders is being held at the Danville Correctional Center.

Sanders was released after officials miscalculated his parole date and put him on a bus to Chicago.

Sanders was convicted in 2010 of arson, paroled and reoffended in 2012 when he was found in possession of a controlled substance. He was sentenced to 38 months on the controlled substance conviction and served enough time to be paroled. But he hadn’t completed the remainder of the first sentence.

Shaer said Sanders’ release was a “rare miscalculation.”

But the program’s growing popularity could be its undoing. Some conservative groups have taken aim at the program, which costs up to $300 million over five years, in the congressional debate over a new farm bill, saying the program unfairly undercuts coal and other traditional energy businesses.

“The last thing we need is the federal government injecting itself into the system,” said Daniel Simmons, a representative of the American Energy Alliance. He says his organization doesn’t oppose renewable energy, but believes the program amounts to a government subsidy.

The program illustrates a conundrum in the increasingly shrill political debate over how, or whether, government should offer aid to mold the economy.

Obama to public: Don’t give up on health sign-ups The ASSOCIATED PRESS

AP photo

President Barack Obama speaks during an exclusive interview Friday with The Associated Press in the White House library in Washington.

WASHINGTON – Defending the shaky rollout of his health care law, President Barack Obama said frustrated Americans “definitely shouldn’t give up” on the problem-plagued program now at the heart of his dispute with Republicans over reopening the federal government.

Obama said public interest far exceeded the government’s expectations, causing technology glitches that thwarted millions of Americans when trying to use government-run health care websites.

“Folks are working around

the clock and have been systematically reducing the wait times,” he said.

The federal gateway website was taken down for repairs over the weekend, again hindering people from signing up for insurance.

Obama, in a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press, also disclosed that U.S. intelligence agencies believe Iran continues to be a year or more away from having the capability to make a nuclear weapon. That assessment is at odds with Israel, which contends Tehran is on a faster course toward a bomb.

He expressed optimism

about the blossoming diplomacy between his administration and Iran’s new president, but said the U.S. would not accept a “bad deal” on the Islamic republic’s nuclear program.

The president spoke to the AP on Friday, four days into a partial shutdown of the federal government that has forced 800,000 people off the job, closed national parks and curbed many government services.

Obama reiterated his opposition to negotiating with House Republicans to end the shutdown or raise the nation’s debt ceiling.

“There are enough votes in

the House of Representatives to make sure that the government reopens today,” he said.

“And I’m pretty willing to bet that there are enough votes in the House of Representatives right now to make sure that the United States doesn’t end up being a deadbeat.”

With no sign of a breakthrough to end the government shutdown, Obama said he would be willing to negotiate with Republicans on health care, deficit reduction and spending – but only if House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, holds votes to reopen the government and increase the nation’s borrowing limit.

Iowa’s congressmen mirror GOP party’s national divide The ASSOCIATED PRESS DES MOINES, Iowa – U.S. Reps. Steve King and Tom Latham represent adjoining congressional districts in Iowa, and are devout Republicans. Yet in philosophy and style, they couldn’t be further apart on how they approach fiscal matters and fight for their positions.

Chalk it up to different motivations.

King, uncompromising and feisty, has comfortably won six consecutive terms in his vastly rural, socially conservative district in northwestern Iowa. He wants to get rid of President Barack Obama’s health care law so badly he’s willing to keep the government shut down for a few weeks.

“There’s no reason not to take a stand,” King said.

Latham is an understated, business-like friend of party leadership who has withstood a series of tough Democratic challenges in a district that includes Iowa’s largest metropolitan area. He says he could settle for simply changing the health care law he opposes but argues a lengthy shutdown isn’t the way to do that.

“My overwhelming concern is on the debt,” Latham said. “That’s more of an issue.”

The crusader and the pragmatist symbolize the GOP’s national quarrel about the party’s best way forward after losing consecutive presidential elections: hold fast to principle at all cost or demonstrate effectiveness by working with the opposition.

Rep. Steve While they King often have votR-Iowa ed in lockstep to repeal health care or eliminate its money, the two parted ways on the final House vote before the govRep. Tom ernment shutdown Tuesday.

Latham L a t h a m R-Iowa backed the House GOP leadership in a scaled-back challenge to the health care law last Monday evening. King sided with a dozen Republicans who include the health law’s fiercest opponents in voting against the measure. It would have allowed a one-year delay in the requirement that all individuals obtain health insurance, but the proposal did not go far enough toward undermining the law for King.

King has little incentive to

work across the aisle. Most of his constituents are very conservative and reward him each at election time for sticking firm to his principles of limited government.

Latham’s district is more politically balanced, a battleground for Democrats after years of redistricting to make it more competitive in elections.

King, 64, is a former small business owner; his family ran an excavation company.

He came up through the state Senate as a hard-line conservative before carrying those values to Congress, where he has championed causes the far right covets.

In 2004, he helped George W. Bush become the first Republican presidential nominee to carry Iowa in 20 years, running up vote totals in his district by airing radio ads aimed at protecting the federal ban on gay marriage.

It’s become a King signature issue.

Recently, the blunt-spoken King told a group of business owners from Iowa, where there is a workforce shortage, that he was opposed to letting people stay in the United States if they were in the country illegally. He was the first to sponsor legislation in 2010 calling for the full repeal of the health care law.

their shirts to help put out the flames. Police had said he was conscious and breathing at the scene, but he was airlifted to MedStar Washington Hospital Center with life-threatening injuries.

Police are investigating the man’s possible motives. Lt. Pamela Smith of the U.S. Park Police said Friday she was not aware that he had carried any signs with him or had articulated a cause.

a motorcycle rally witnessed a violent confrontation between an SUV driver and a swarm of bikers and didn’t immediately report it, a law enforcement official said Saturday.

The officer came forward several days after the Sept. 29 rally to say he was present, according to the official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The officer has an attorney, and internal affairs detectives are trying to determine whether he witnessed the assault on the SUV driver, the official said.

Red flags warn swimmers Saturday to stay out of the Gulf of Mexico as a squall from Tropical Storm Karen moves offshore at Gulf Shores, Ala. The beaches remained open, but authorities said dangerous underwater rip currents made the waters too dangerous to enter.

Karen weakens to depression off La. coast The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS – Karen lost more of its punch late Saturday and fell below tropical-storm status while stalling off the Louisiana coast.

Even as a tropical depression with top sustained winds of 35 mph, the system threatened to bring strong wind and heavy rain to vulnerable low-lying areas. However, all watches and warnings were discontinued along the Gulf Coast.

The National Weather Service said Saturday evening that the system was stationary but expected to move across or near the southeast Louisiana coast late Saturday or early Sunday, then track eastward and lose strength. It spent Saturday either stalled or moving slowly.

Karen was centered about

185 miles southwest of the mouth of the Mississippi River.

Forecasters expected for there to be little change in the system’s strength over the next 24 hours and that it would turn into a remnant Monday.

The National Weather Service said storm surges of 1-to-3 feet were possible along the southeast Louisiana and Mississippi coast, with rainfall accumulations of up to 3 inches – 6 inches in isolated areas – along various spots along the central Gulf Coast.

In low-lying Plaquemines Parish, La., officials changed an evacuation order from mandatory to voluntary Saturday afternoon. More than 80 evacuees from the area, at the state’s southeastern tip, had taken refuge at a public shelter, which remained open

Saturday.

They gathered in an auditorium where they rested on cots, watched for weather updates on TV and chatted outside on the front steps.

“I don’t really know what to expect, but they told us to evacuate, so we got out,” said Dana Etienne, 27, of Phoenix, La., who was at the shelter with her three young children.

Ahead of the storm, squalls of rain hit workers sandbagging low sections of the floodprone town of Lafitte, La., along Bayou Barataria.

“We have a high tide, but we only have another 15-17 hours to worry about, and I don’t think the tide will come up much more in that time,” Mayor Timothy Kerner said.

“It looks like it might come up another foot or two, but I think we’re going to be OK.”

N.Y. cabbie charged in relatives’ deaths in Pakistan The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – On the day two of his relatives were gunned down in a street in Pakistan last year, cab driver Mohammad Ajmal Choudhry was thousands of miles away in New York City.

That made it all the more shocking to friends when federal agents moved in later that same day and arrested the 60-year-old immigrant who was known for his gentle manner and devotion to his children and grandchildren.

An indictment filed late last month charges Choudhry with murder conspiracy in a case U.S. prosecutors in Brooklyn say exposed a bitter family feud over his daughter’s flight from an arranged marriage. The animosity, authorities say, ended

in the equivalent of so-called honor killings – the ruthless vigilantism against Pakistani women accused of disgracing their families.

Prosecutors cite a series of vengeful phone calls with the 23-year-old daughter – captured on tape around the time of the deaths – as evidence of Choudhry’s bloodlust. But the defense says that’s not enough to pin a murder rap on him.

“I haven’t seen any direct or credible evidence that connects my client to these killings,” attorney Joshua Dratel said shortly after Choudhry pleaded not guilty through a Punjabi interpreter.

Supporters both in New York and Gujrat – a city in Punjab Province where he still has strong ties after living in the United States for more than two decades – have

hhh

written letters to the U.S. court vouching for his character.

The oldest of his four daughters wrote, “He never forced or imposed his will on me my whole life.”

She said the allegations left her “totally surprised and numb” and belittled the accusing sister, Amina Ajmal, as a “habitually childish and wet blanket girl.”

But the picture painted by Ajmal when she spoke to U.S. authorities in New York in February was far from happily ever after.

Ajmal, a U.S. citizen, claimed that her ordeal began about three years before the slayings. She told investigators that “under threat of death” she was ordered to wed a Pakistani man in a scheme to get him a U.S. visa.

Traci Krus looks at a pictures of her family that she found in her damaged home Saturday in Wayne, Neb. A tornado struck the northeast Nebraska town Friday, causing millions of dollars in damage, but the mayor says no one was killed and the injuries reported have been minor. Mayor Ken Chamberlain said that officials have accounted for all residents in town.

Great Plains digs out of heavy snow and storm debris The ASSOCIATED PRESS PIERRE, S.D. – Breaking nearly century-old early autumn snowfall records, a storm system smothered South Dakota’s scenic Black Hills with up to three and a half feet of wet, heavy snow, leaving residents the challenge of digging out.

But wintry weather wasn’t the only thing delivered by the powerful cold front that crossed the Great Plains, as unusually strong thunderstorms brought heavy rain, hail and as many as nine tornadoes to Nebraska and Iowa.

Fifteen people in northeast Nebraska were injured in a tornado Friday, while three died in a car accident on a snowslicked road.

Forecasters said the front would eventually combine with other storms to make for a wild – and probably very wet – weekend for much of the central U.S. and Southeast.

Power outages and impassable roads plagued western South Dakota on Saturday.

lost power in the Black Hills area, and authorities were recruiting snowmobilers to help rescue about 80 motorists who’d been stuck overnight.

Friday’s snowfall – 19 inches – broke the previous oneday snowfall record for October by about nine inches; it was set Oct. 19, 1919, Carpenter said. Rapid City saw an extra 2.5 inches overnight. Friday also surpassed the record for the entire month, 15.1 inches, also set in 1919.

Meanwhile, National Weather Service meteorologist Mike Fuhs said as many as nine tornadoes touched down in Iowa and Nebraska between 6 p.m. and 7:45 p.m.

Friday. He called some of them “quite powerful,” and noted it was unusual to see so many and with such power during the fall.

Some of the most severe tornado damage was in Wayne, Neb., where at least 10 buildings were destroyed and five were heavily damaged, the Omaha World-Herald reported.

Analysis: U.S. reliability is questioned overseas

By STEVEN R. HURST The Associated Press An unmistakable sense of unease is growing in global capitals as the U.S. government from afar looks increasingly befuddled. America is shirking from a military confrontation in Syria, stymied at home by a gridlocked Congress and in danger of defaulting on sovereign debt, which could plunge the world’s financial system into chaos.

While each may be unrelated to the direct exercise of U.S. foreign policy, taken together they give some allies the sense that Washington is not as firm as it used to be in its resolve and its financial capacity, providing an opening for China or Russia to fill the void, an Asian foreign minister told a group

of journalists in New York this past week.

Concerns will only deepen now that President Barack Obama canceled travel this weekend to the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum in Bali and the East Asia Summit in Brunei. He decided to stay home to deal with the government shutdown and looming fears that Congress will block an increase in U.S. borrowing power, a move that could lead to a U.S. default.

The U.S. is still a pillar of defense for places in Asia such as Taiwan and South Korea, providing a vital security umbrella against China. It has strong allies in the Middle East, including Israel and the Gulf Arab states, arrayed against al-Qaida and Iran.

But faith that the U.S. will

always be there is fraying more than a little, according to interviews with academics, government leaders and diplomats.

“The paralysis of the American government, where a rump in Congress is holding the whole place to ransom, doesn’t really jibe with the notion of the United States as a global leader,” said Michael McKinley, an expert on global relations at the Australian National University.

The political turbulence in Washington and potential economic bombshells yet to come from the U.S. government shutdown and a possible debt default this month have sent shivers through Europe. The head of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi, worried about the continent’s rebound from the 2008 economic downturn.

Roosevelt High School students Carlos Espinoza and Maria Aguilera talk during an interview Tuesday in Los Angeles. They were among two of the Los Angeles Unified School District’s 650,000 students to receive iPads under a district plan to supply every student and teacher with one of the tablets by next year.

L.A. students get iPads, crack firewall, play games

By JOHN ROGERS The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Education officials in the nation’s second-largest school district are working to reboot a $1 billion plan to put an iPad in the hands of each of their 650,000 students after an embarrassing glitch emerged when the first round of tablets went out.

Instead of solving math problems or doing English homework, as administrators envisioned, more than 300 Los Angeles Unified School District students promptly cracked the security settings and started tweeting, posting to Facebook and playing video games. “ ‘Temple Run.’ ‘Subway Surfing.’ Oh, and some car racing game I can’t remember the name of,” said freshman Stephany Romero, laughing as she described the games she saw fellow Roosevelt High School students playing in class last week.

That incident, and related problems, had both critics and supporters questioning this week whether LAUSD officials were being hasty or overreaching in their attempt to distribute an iPad to every student and teacher at the district’s more than 1,000 campuses by next year.

“It doesn’t seem like there was much planning that went into this strategy,” said Renee Hobbs, director of the Harrington School of Communication and Media at the University of Rhode Island. “That’s where the debacle began.”

It’s crucial, she said, to spend extensive time drawing students into a discussion on using iPads responsibly before handing them out. And, of course, installing a firewall that can’t be easily breached.

At Roosevelt High, it was the unanimous opinion of more than a dozen students that the school district’s security setup was so weak that even the most tech-challenged parent could have gotten past it.

“It was so easy!” said freshman Carlos Espinoza.

He explained that all one needed to do was access the tablet’s settings, delete the profile established by the school district and set up an Internet connection. He did it, he said, because he wanted to go on Facebook.

“They kind of should have known this would happen,”

said Espinoza’s friend, Maria Aguilera.

“We’re high school students after all. I mean, come on,” she added.

As word spread, with the speed of a microprocessor, that anyone could crack the firewall, officials quickly confiscated the devices and put a freeze on using them off campus. In the meantime, they promised to improve the security settings.

When they started distributing the iPads at 47 district schools in August, administrators touted the move as a means of leveling the academic playing field in a public school system where 80 percent of the students come from low-income families.

Now, they said, everyone would have equal access to the most cutting-edge educational software programs, not just the children of parents with deep pockets.

But after the first shot in that digital revolution led to a flood of tweets, other concerns arose.

Among them: • Who pays if a kid drops one of these $678 gadgets into a toilet or leaves it on a bus?

• Is it realistic to tell a student she can use it to do her homework, then not allow the device to connect to the Internet from home? (Schools will be wired.)

• And since the tablet without Web access is only as good as the educational software placed on it, how good is that software?

A parent, Scott Folsom, said he heard from one source that families would have to pay for broken iPads and from another that the school would.

District officials have said there was confusion over that issue but that it’s been decided schools will cover the cost of an iPad accidentally broken, lost or stolen, while families are on the hook for one negligently damaged.

Of more serious concern to Folsom is the software. He sampled one of the new iPads, he said, and found no program to adequately support Englishas-a-second-language students.

That would seemingly be crucial for a district whose students are 73 percent Hispanic and where only 14 percent of English learners can speak the language fluently, according to a 2011 Department of Education study.

Agreement ends deadly shelling of Syrian village The ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT – Syrian government forces reached an agreement Saturday with local officials of a vulnerable Sunni village in a region dominated

by President Bashar Assad’s Alawite sect to end hours of deadly shelling in exchange for the surrender of dozens of opposition fighters, an activist group said.

The shelling of al-Mitras began at dawn, killing eight civilians while fierce fighting between rebels and government forces on the outskirts of the village left 20 soldiers dead or wounded, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. The violence ended when local officials and dignitaries from the village persuaded dozens of defectors and rebels to surrender to authorities with the promise

that they would be freed after repenting.

Such deals have been used in the past to end bouts of heavy fighting as the two sides find themselves stalemated.

One ended days of heavy fighting in the central town of Talkalakh, near the border with Lebanon earlier this year.

Rights groups and activists had expressed concern that al-Mitras would suffer the same fate as the nearby Sunni towns of Bayda and Banias, where activists allege government troops killed 248 people after days of shelling.

The Western-backed Syrian National Coalition, the main opposition group, expressed fears that “Assad’s forces might commit a massacre in the village,” which it said has a population of 8,000 and is surrounded by villages that are loyal to the govern-

ment.

The rebels are outgunned by regime forces, which have gained momentum since President Bashar Assad agreed to relinquish his chemical weapons stocks, averting the threat of imminent U.S. military action. But they often are able to engage in deadly battles.

Syria’s civil war has cleaved along the country’s sectarian patchwork. Majority Sunni Muslims dominate the revolt, which began in March 2011, while Christians and other Muslim sects have mostly stood behind the regime.

But the opposition itself faces growing divisions and internal fighting as the Western-backed rebels blame al-Qaida linked extremists for tarnishing their image and preventing the U.S. and its allies from providing crucial support.

Suicide bomber targets Shiites in latest surge of violence in Iraq The ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD – A suicide bomber blew himself up among a crowd of Shiite pilgrims passing through a mainly Sunni neighborhood in Baghdad and another detonated his explosives inside a cafe north of the capital, the deadliest of several attacks across Iraq on Saturday that killed at least 66 people.

The killings, which also included attacks on journalists and anti-extremist Sunni fighters, are part of the deadliest surge in violence to hit Iraq in five years. The accelerating bloodshed is raising fears that the country is falling back into the spiral of violence that brought it to the edge of civil war in the years

after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.

The extent of the carnage from the evening attack on the pilgrims became clearer as midnight approached, when officials sharply revised the death toll upward to at least 42. Another 80 were reported injured.

The bomber detonated his explosives at a checkpoint in the northern neighborhood of Azamiyah as the pilgrims en route to a prominent Shiite shrine in the nearby neighborhood of Kazimiyah, according to police officials. At least four policemen manning the checkpoint were among the dead, the officials said.

Azamiyah and the Shiite district of Kazimiyah sit on opposite sides of the Tigris

River that snakes through the Iraqi capital. Their proximity made them a key flashpoint for the widespread sectarian conflict that gripped Iraq after Saddam Hussein’s ouster and peaked in 2006 and 2007.

Authorities closed the bridge between the neighborhoods after hundreds of Shiite pilgrims died in a 2005 stampede sparked by fears of a suicide bomber, and reopened it in 2008.

Around the same time, another suicide bomber blew himself up in a cafe in the town of Balad, a largely Shiite town surrounded by Sunni communities about 50 miles north of Baghdad. Balad Mayor Malik Lefta said at least 13 people were killed and 22 were wounded in that attack.

Gunmen kill 16 Libyan soldiers in highway attack TRIPOLI, Libya – Gunmen attacked a Libyan military post southeast of the capital, Tripoli, on Saturday, killing 16 soldiers, officials said.

The attackers rode vehicles mounted with machine guns, a military official said. The highway between the towns of Tarhouna and Bani Walid, on which the post was located, was closed immediately after the attack in an attempt to track down the attackers.

Migrant coffins lined up in Italian airport hangar LAMPEDUSA, Italy – The coffins of African migrants killed in a shipwreck off the Italian island of Lampedusa were lined up in long rows inside an airport

hangar where survivors of the tragedy paid their respects Saturday. All of the caskets had a single white rose on top except for the four of the youngest victims, which had stuffed animals.

The ceremony took place hours after Italian fishermen threw a bouquet of yellow flowers near the exact spot where the migrant boat sank, honking their foghorns in tribute to the dead and up to 250 migrants who may still be missing.

The search to recover more bodies, meanwhile, was called off for a second day because of choppy waters and strong currents.

A parliamentary delegation visited the survivors amid reports that a boat may have violated the “law of the sea” by failing to help the migrant ship packed with 500 migrants,

Egypt journalist gets suspended sentence CAIRO – An Egyptian military court released an award-winning journalist Saturday after giving him a six-month suspended sentence for endangering national security by spreading false information in his coverage of operations against Islamic militants in the Sinai Peninsula, a security official and a lawyer said.

Ahmed Abu-Draa’s lawyer called the lighter sentence an attempt to defuse criticism over the 38-year-old journalist’s detention while still serving as a warning against challenging the military.

Proper humidity is one of the most important aspects of indoor comfort. During the heating season, humidity protects the home and its furnishings from the harmful effects of dry air. Doctors recommend it to protect against dry skin, hair, nasal membranes and scratchy throats. It also reduces static electricity; shocks that you get when touching people, pets or objects. The warmer we heat our homes, the drier the air becomes which increases the need to add moisture. This is accomplished with a humidifier.

The Two types of humidifiers most commonly used for homes are - evaporative type and steam.

• Evaporative humidifiers can be free standing or duct mounted.The free standing units are usually used when the home is heated with a boiler, The most popular units are the duct mounted which can distribute the humidity to every room in the house. These humidifiers come in different sizes which can accomodate any size home. They have the capacity to deliver up to 18 gallons of water per day.

• Steam humidifiers are the most effective because they maximize the moisture output into the home. For every gallon of water, they put out 1 gallon of humidity.

When a certain level of humidity is needed (if you have a piano or oil paintings) then steam is the optimal choice.

Arab world searches for democratic future

By DAN PERRY The Associated Press CAIRO – Almost a quarter-century ago, a young American political scientist achieved global academic celebrity by suggesting the collapse of communism had ended the discussion on how to run societies, leaving “Western liberal democracy as the final form of human government.”

In Egypt and around the Middle East, after a summer

of violence and upheaval, the discussion, however, is still going strong. And almost three years into the Arab Spring revolts, profound uncertainties remain.

That became shatteringly clear on July 3, when Egyptian generals ousted the country’s first freely elected president, Mohammed Morsi, installing a technocratic government in the wake of massive street protests calling for the Islamist leader to step down. He had ruled incompe-

tently for one year and badly overstepped his bounds, they argued. A crackdown on his Muslim Brotherhood has put more than 2,000 of its members in jail and left hundreds dead, and a court has ordered an outright ban on the group.

Although new elections are promised, the plans are extremely vague.

All this happened with strong public support, especially among the educated classes where one might expect a strong yearning for de-

mocracy. Foreigners in Egypt were frequently stunned at how little many Egyptians cared that Morsi had been democratically elected.

How could that be? Around the region people are asking the question, and the stirrings of a rethink, subtle but persistent, are starting to be felt.

Few people – not even the absolute rulers who still cling to power in some places – would openly argue against democracy as a worthy goal.

And people bristle at any sug-

gestion that the region’s culture is somehow at odds with freedom. But with the most populous Arab nation having stumbled so badly in its first attempt, there is now an audience for those saying total democracy must grow from the ground up, needs time to evolve, and need not be the same everywhere.

“Democracy is not a matter of principle or faith for most people” in the region, said political scientist Shadi Hamid, director of research at the

Brookings Doha Center. “It is something they believe in to the extent that it brings good results. ... If democracy does not bring those things, then people lose faith in the democratic process.”

“That’s part of the story in the past three years,” he said.

“When push comes to shove, many say, democracy is fine in theory, but is not actually improving our lives. If the generals can promise us a greater degree of security and stability, we prefer that instead.”

March ballot to include binding referendum U.S. forces nab al-Qaida leader in ELECTION Tripoli linked to embassy bombings •Continued from page A1 The ASSOCIATED PRESS TRIPOLI, Libya – U.S. forces on Saturday captured an al-Qaida leader in Libya linked to the 1998 American Embassy bombings in east Africa and wanted by the United States for more than a decade, a U.S. official said.

The official identified the al-Qaida leader as Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, known by his alias Anas al-Libi. His capture would represent a significant blow to what remains of the core al-Qaida organization once led by Osama bin Laden.

Family members said gunmen in a three-car convoy seized al-Libi outside his home in the Libyan capital, Tripoli.

Al-Libi is believed to have returned to Libya during the 2011 civil war that led to the ouster and killing of dictator Moammar Gadhafi.

His brother, Nabih, said

the 49-year-old was parking outside his house early Saturday after dawn prayers, when three vehicles encircled his vehicle. The gunmen smashed his car’s window and seized his gun before grabbing him and fleeing. The brother said al-Libi’s wife saw the kidAnas al-Libi napping from her window and described the abductors as foreign-looking armed “commandos.”

The U.S. official said there were no U.S. casualties in the operation. The official was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity.

Al-Libi is on the FBI’s most-wanted list with a $5 million bounty on his head. He was indicted by a federal court in the Southern District of New York, for his alleged role

in the bombings of the U.S. Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya, on Aug. 7, 1998, that killed more than 250 people.

Libyan officials did not return calls seeking comment on al-Libi’s abduction and the U.S. issued no immediate statements. His brother said he failed to contact authorities over the matter.

Al-Libi was believed to be a computer specialist with al-Qaida. He studied electronic and nuclear engineering, graduating from Tripoli University, and was an anti-Gadhafi activist. He is believed to have spent time in Sudan, where Osama bin Laden was based in the early 1990s. After bin Laden was forced to leave Sudan, al-Libi turned up in Britain in 1995 where he was granted political asylum under unclear circumstances and lived in Manchester.

Aides: Congress no closer to settling impasse • BUDGET Continued from page A1 avoiding it. Instead, they continued to bicker and to ponder the chasm between two warring parties, each of which seems convinced it’s on the winning side morally and politically.

There was, however, relief Saturday for thousands of furloughed Pentagon workers and the promise of back pay for all federal workers who have been forced off the job.

The Pentagon on Saturday ordered at least 90 percent of its roughly 350,000 furloughed civilian employees back to work, significantly reducing the number of sidelined federal workers. In all, about 800,000 federal workers had been furloughed.

Defense Department said the recall is based on a law passed by Congress this week that allows the Pentagon to end furloughs for “employees whose responsibilities contribute to the morale, well-being, capabilities and readiness of service members.” Republicans had complained that the administration was slow to bring back those workers in light of the law.

The larger stalemate over

reopening the federal government persists. Boehner, asked Saturday whether Congress was any closer to resolving the impasse, replied: “No.” Aides close to Boehner say he has not figured out how to end the gridlock.

Even the day’s top bipartisan achievement – agreeing to pay furloughed federal employees for the work days they are missing – was a thin victory. Congress made the same deal after the mid-1990s shutdowns, and Saturday’s 407-0 vote was widely expected.

Still, it triggered the sort of derisive quarreling that has prevented Congress from resolving the larger funding and debt dilemmas.

“Of all the bizarre moments” involved in the debate, said Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, “this may be the most bizarre: that we will pay people not to work.” He called it “the new tea party sense of fiscal responsibility.”

House Republicans said they want to ease the pain from the partial shutdown.

Democrats said Congress should fully re-open the government and let employees work for the pay they’re going to receive.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Sat-

urday the Democratic-controlled Senate will approve retroactive pay for furloughed workers, although he didn’t specify when.

The politics of the 5-day-old partial government shutdown have merged with partisan wrangling over the graver issue of raising the federal debt limit by Oct. 17. If that doesn’t happen, the White House says, the government will be unable to pay all its bills, including interest on debt. Economists say a U.S. default would stun world markets and likely send this nation, and possibly others, into recession.

Boehner, R-Ohio, and Obama say they abhor the idea of a default. But they and their respective parties have not budged from positions that bar a solution.

Obama says he will not negotiate tax and spending issues if they are linked to a debt-ceiling hike. Boehner and his GOP allies say they will not raise the ceiling unless Democrats agree to deep spending cuts.

Many House Republicans also demand curbs to Obama’s signature health care law as a condition of reopening the government. The president and his allies call the demand absurd.

Jansen joins GOP incumbent Joe Gottemoller, also an attorney, in running in the March 18 primary. Besides Becker, former County Board member Mary Donner and District 47 school board member Nancy Gonsiorek have pulled petitions.

District 3 board member Mary McClellan, whose term expires next year, has decided instead to run for county clerk. She will run in the primary against fellow board member Nick Provenzano and county clerk’s employee Keith Addison. Provenzano does not have to give up his seat to run, because his term does not expire until 2016.

All 12 County Board incumbents up for election next year – 10 Republicans and both of the board’s Democratic members – have declared their candidacies or pulled petitions. Republican Donna Kurtz announced last week her intent to run for re-election in District 2, which covers northwestern Algonquin and far northeastern Grafton Township, covering much of Crystal Lake and Lakewood.

“There is still much work yet to do in order to promote government responsiveness,

transparency, fiscal responsibility and protection of the watershed and our groundwater. That is why I will be seeking another term, and asking the people of District 2 once again for their support,” Kurtz said.

Another contested GOP primary is developing in District 1 for its two open seats.

Incumbent Robert Nowak will be running again, Fox River Grove blogger and retired Air Force officer Andrew Gasser has announced his candidacy, and former Barrington Hills Trustee Elaine Ramesh has pulled a petition. District 1 covers southern and eastern Algonquin townships and a sliver of Grafton Township, including all or most of Algonquin, Cary, Fox River Grove and Barrington Hills.

Three of the four races for countywide elected office will have contested Republican primaries – County Clerk Katherine Schultz, Treasurer Bill LeFew and Sheriff Keith Nygren are not seeking re-election.

Chief Deputy Treasurer Glenda Miller and Crystal Lake City Council member Jeff Thorsen are running for treasurer, and Undersheriff Andrew Zinke and former Des Plaines Police Cmdr. Bill Prim are running for sheriff.

The winner of the sheriff’s

primary could face off in November against independent candidate Jim Harrison, a labor attorney and former sheriff’s deputy.

The County Board’s two Democratic members – Nick Chirikos in District 1 and Paula Yensen in District 5 – mean contested races in the November election. Longtime Democratic state Rep. Jack Franks will face a November race against Republican challenger Steven Reick for the 63rd House District, which covers most of McHenry County.

Voters in House District 65 will elect a new representative, because Republican Rep. Tim Schmitz is not seeking re-election. Voters in the 33rd Senate District will elect their state senator – Sen. Karen McConnaughay, R-St. Charles, drew a two-year term after the 2012 election in the wake of redistricting after the 2010 U.S. Census. She is running for re-election.

Also up for election next year are all statewide constitutional offices, the U.S. Senate seat held by Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin, and all seats in the U.S. and state houses of representatives.

A binding referendum will be put to voters in March asking whether they want to directly elect the McHenry County Board chairman.

The teen was thrown from the force of the impact and landed in a yard to the north of the road. He was taken to Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin.

The driver of the vehicle, Patrick G. Murphy, was not injured in the crash.

No citations had been issued by early Saturday. The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office is still investigating the crash.

Future uncertain for pool Marengo Park District considers closing facility to save money

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com MARENGO – The Marengo Park District is contemplating closing its pool to help save a budget drowning in outstanding debt, a result, officials said, of a 2003 expansion gone financially awry.

The pool has operated at an annual $30,000 deficit dating to 2002, Business Director Heather Shepard said. It also needs about $60,000 in repairs to replace an antiquated filtration system being run by 14 filters designed for residential pools.

Shepard said the district does not have room in its budget to pay for the

The pool represents one of the last remaining amenities for the park district, which has reduced its staff and shuttered its daycare operation in recent years because of past financial problems.

“Where we are at financially, how do you justify keeping the pool

open?” Shepard said.

If the pool does close, Marengo residents would be left without a public swimming option this coming summer. Residents’ nearest options would be Woodstock or Huntley.

A Park District Board committee plans to discuss the pool closure during a meeting Wednesday evening. The board would look to make a final decision on the pool by year’s end, Shepard said.

Despite ending last year with an $11,700 surplus, the district has been hamstrung by nearly $1.96 million in outstanding debt tied to a 2003 expansion of its Indian Oaks facility.

MCCD PLANS LIVING HISTORY EVENT RINGWOOD – Step back in time and enjoy the twilight ambience of the 1850s Powers-Walker House lit only by candlelight and lamplight at McHenry County Conservation District’s living history open house from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Thursday.

The Powers-Walker House is in Glacial Park, Route 31 and Harts Road, Ringwood.

Many think of candlelight as romantic. However, in the 1850s it was a necessity to get the evening’s chores done.

Area residents are invited to stop by and see just how much light the candles and lamplight provide. Is it enough to read by, do mending or even leatherwork?

Weather permitting, enjoy time around the campfire while volunteers in historical attire demonstrate the last of a day’s labor, help answer questions and offer tours of the ongoing restoration of this Greek revival house.

This is a free, drop-in event.

They issued bonds that were structured to escalate each year based on the assumption that Marengo and the district’s tax base would grow.

The assumption failed, since Marengo and the district have seen a decline in population growth over the past five years, Shepard said. In the past four years alone, the district’s tax revenues have dropped from $600,000 to $493,000 annually, she said.

ALGONQUIN – Interior construction of Riverside Plaza is expected to begin later this year, as the developer of the property has secured the necessary financing, the village said in a news release.

Securing the roughly $11 million in financing gives developer John Breugelmans an extended deadline to start interior work on 63 luxury apartments on the property and 9,600 square feet of retail space at 1 N. Main St., Algonquin.

His original deadline to start work was Oct. 16. If he had not secured the necessary financing by that deadline, the village stipulated that the development would have reverted back to the original plan of 54 luxury condominiums.

With the financing in place, Breugelmans now has until Jan. 16 to submit revised plans for the building, obtain building permits and get interior construction started. The building is scheduled to be ready to be occupied by the summer of next year.

“There have been many long hours dedicated to this project by staff to work with Mr. Breugelmans to ensure this development fits the community vision for downtown amidst a difficult lending environment,” Village President John Schmitt said in a news release. “Coming out of the Great Recession with a significant investment such as Riverside Plaza is great for downtown and is great for Algonquin.”

About a year ago, the village allowed Breugelmans to change the development to rental apartments from condos, with an agreement that the units eventually would switch back to owner-occupied dwellings.

Coffee shop requests city loan from McHenry Owners seeking $34K to open new business

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Two women want a city loan to open a coffee shop on North Green Street.

To cover the cost of remodeling the 1208 N. Green St. building and purchase the equipment, furniture and fixtures, Lisa Brand and Christine Kernes are requesting a $34,000 loan from the city.

The McHenry City Council will consider the loan as well as a tempo-

rary use permit for a tattoo parlor on West Main Street at its meeting Monday evening.

If approved, the Hidden Pearl Cafe would be the most recent beneficiary of the city’s revolving loan program, which is designed to provide low-interest loans to qualified existing and prospective businesses to help them create jobs and expand the city’s sales and property tax base, according to council documents.

Under the agreement, the interest rate on the five-year loan would equal the prime rate, which is currently 3.25 percent. If the business closes before the loan is paid, the owner still would be responsible for paying it off.

The Finance and Personnel Com-

mittee unanimously recommended approving the application at its last meeting.

Brand, who has training as a barista, plans on opening the cafe in mid-October. It would offer coffee, tea, baked goods and breakfast items, according to the application and committee minutes. The business would create six jobs.

Brand and Kernes did not return calls for comment.

The council approved a $75,000 loan to Buddyz Chicago Pizzeria in March 2010, which was paid off when the business was sold this year, the documents said. Epic Cycle and Fitness was issued a $25,000 loan in November 2011.

The revolving loan fund currently

has $86,000 available.

The council also will vote on whether to issue a temporary use permit to John Bolger, who plans to open a tattoo parlor and antique lamp store called Lunchbox Tattoo at 3932 W. Main St., where Epic Cycle and Fitness used to be, according to council documents.

The permit would allow Bolger to open his business while he seeks a permanent variance from the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council.

The council also approved temporary use permits – and subsequently permanent variances – for two other tattoo parlors that opened in the last year, the first tattoo parlors in the city.

Lane shifts scheduled for I-90 starting today

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com We start with two new road developments, one big and one small.

• INTERSTATE 90 LANE SHIFTS: Traffic shifts are scheduled through the month to put I-90 traffic onto eastbound lanes so that work can begin next year on the westbound lanes.

Eastbound traffic will be shifted Sunday evening at the Marengo Toll Plaza. There will be fewer open-road tolling lanes available through November to provide a work zone for the left shoulder and left lane to be rebuilt.

Also watch for lane shifts in a 5-mile stretch near Elgin and

a 7-mile stretch near Belvidere.

The new lanes are part of a $2.2 billion rebuilding and widening project between Rockford and Elgin, the first phase of which is wrapping up this construction season.

Westbound lanes will be widened next year, and the process will be repeated in 2015 and 2016 for I-90 between Elgin and Chicago.

• AS A REMINDER: Work continues at Route 47 and I-90 south of Huntley to convert it into a full interchange, so watch for delays.

• DARTMOOR BRIDGE: The Dartmoor Drive bridge over Boone Creek will be closed about a week so workers can fill a void between the roadway and the sidewalk curb.

The closure is set for Tuesday and the bridge will stay closed until Oct. 15, weather permitting.

A detour of Crystal Lake, Bull Valley and Curran roads will be posted.

• HILL ROAD: The bridge over the north branch of Nippersink Creek near Richmond, which was closed for almost two years, was reopened to traffic last Tuesday.

• ALGONQUIN 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.

Watch for workers and

lane closures along Route 31 and Main Street.

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

• MARENGO WORK DELAYED: The widening of Prospect Street in Marengo has been delayed until next spring because certain utility lines weren’t moved in time. Construction was supposed to start in mid-September.

• 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.

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.

• ROUTES 31 AND 176: The $10.18 million widening and modernizing of the intersection of Routes 31 and 176 is ongoing. Anticipate traffic delays, especially during peak travel hours.

• 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.

• WATCH FOR RUNNERS: The Dole Mansion Duathlon is scheduled for this morning, so watch for runners along the route in Crystal Lake and Lakewood. Signs are posted on the route as a reminder.

• READ ALL ABOUT IT: You can sign up at NWHerald. com/newsletter to get a weekly email update on road projects throughout construction season. You also can find updates online at NWHerald/construction.

Fundraiser to aid A dog’s day at Dog-Tober Fest ailing police officer

By YADIRA SANCHEZ OLSON yolson@shawmedia.com WAUCONDA – Chicago Bears defensive tackle Nate Collins will be signing items for fans at an Oct. 12 fundraiser for Wauconda police officer Eric Schultz at Sideouts Bar and Eatery in Island Lake.

T-shirts and sweatshirts with a logo that reads “Fight Like A Hero” will be on sale with proceeds going to Schultz and his wife, Crystal.

“Only Nate Collins has confirmed with us, but maybe two others will come,” event organizer Kim Jacobson said.

The Schultzes have been dealing with Eric’s illness since 2007, when he was diagnosed with bone cancer after an ankle injury.

“I was jumping a fence at work and sprained my ankle.

It wouldn’t heal, so I had it checked out and that’s when they found it,” Eric Schultz said. “I never even knew of bone cancer like that.”

On Valentine’s Day 2008, Eric Schultz’s right foot was amputated, and he returned to work with a prosthetic foot.

Police officer Jim McClain, who has worked with Schultz for six years and is helping Jacobson with the fundraiser, said, “Eric is a great officer and a good friend. He’s courageous and he’s a hero because he always comes back to work.”

In 2010, Eric Schultz’s cancer returned in his right hip and spread to his lungs. After having part of his pelvis surgically removed and getting chemotherapy and radiation treatments, he returned to work at full capacity, Crystal Schultz said.

In 2011, doctors found more cancer in his lungs and started him on a treatment that shrank the spots. Again, Eric Schultz went back to work, but in April 2013 the spots were back in his lungs and much bigger than before.

“It’s just kind of been our normal life to go in and find out that the cancer is back,” Crystal Schultz said.

Eric Schultz is now on unpaid medical leave since his benefits have run out. He said he’s hoping to get back to work soon after healing from an August surgery in which part of his thyroid was removed.

Eric and Crystal Schultz said the community’s support has been instrumental in keeping them optimistic.

“I’m very appreciative of all the people. Having such a huge support group makes this easier,” Eric Schultz said.

Although Eric Schultz is frail from the monthly IV therapy, he said he’s looking forward to seeing all his friends and supporters at the event.

“Everyone says they’re there for you when something bad happens, but the police department and the community are really showing us they are,” Crystal Schultz said.

The fundraiser runs from 3 to 6 p.m.

Jacobson is hoping to raise $10,000 and is expecting 300 to 500 attendees.

Visitors are allowed to bring one item for Chicago Bears players to sign at Sideouts Bar and Eatery, 4018 W. Roberts Road in Island Lake.

Escalating debt, declining revenue Supporting the abused and neglected has district in precarious position • POOL Continued from page B1 The combination of escalating debt and declining revenue has put the district in a precarious position. Board members last year did manage to restructure $1.15 million in debt to level the district’s annual payments, the bulk of which are set to be retired in 2020.

The district already has cut staff to three full-time employees and nine part-time employees. Demand for fitness and recreation programs has increased, but the added revenue falls short of covering the district’s debt obligations, Shepard said.

The $11,700 surplus in the district’s $694,000 operating budget was an improvement from past years, when the district would struggle to pay employees and bills on time, Shepard said.

“The financial picture is looking better than where we were two years ago,” she said.

“My biggest concern is how to

“The inancial picture is looking better than where we were two years ago. My biggest concern is how to make our bond payment every year without borrowing. ... Until that bond is paid in full, I think we are going to struggle.”

Heather Shepard, Park district business director make our bond payment every year without borrowing. ...

Until that bond is paid in full, I think we are going to struggle.”

The district’s last remaining cost-cutting idea is the pool, since it continues to lose money, but board members still are debating whether to proceed, board President Scott McCann said.

On Wednesday, members will begin a more detailed look at the pool’s operating expenses and start discussions on a “plan of action,” he said.

Members also may look to the Marengo Park District Foundation for a fundraising campaign that would target donors to help cover the pool’s

expenses.

“The verdict is still out,” McCann said.

Officials also have entertained the idea of a referendum that would ask voters in the areas surrounding Marengo to contribute property-tax dollars to the park district. But officials are unsure whether the referendum would have a chance at the polls.

The board has discussed the issue, but members have not begun identifying specific election dates to pose a potential referendum question, Shepard said.

“I just don’t know how realistic it is for people to vote to raise their taxes,” she said.

Warm weather attracts large crowd • NORGE Continued from page B1 “The spectator atmosphere is great,” Kaiser said. “I love coming to see an alternative sport that people really care about, is exciting to watch and isn’t mainstream.”

The warm weather brought out a large crowd to

see some high-flying entertainment while snacking on tasty food and libations. Attendees cheered for jumpers from all over the U.S. as well as Norway and the Ukraine.

Nearly 30 jumpers competed on the smaller 5- to 47-meter hills and more than 40 jumpers took their chances on the looming 70-meter jump.

“It’s really a small, unique, national family

we have here,” said event announcer and DJ John Jacobsen. “Ski jumping is really the first true extreme sport. Norge loves the town and the town loves Norge.”

The Autumn Ski Jump continues Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. at Norge Ski Club, 100 Ski Hill Road in Fox River Grove. Tickets are $15 at the gate, with children 12 or younger admitted free.

Apartments would rent for $1,100 to $1,800 • COMPLEX Continued from page B1 Breugelmans was unable to get financing to build luxury condos, which could take years to sell.

With financing to build rental units, Breugelmans has said he plans to build 750-square-foot to 1,430-squarefoot luxury apartments that

would rent for $1,100 to $1,800 a month.

Before Breugelmans and Lakeland Asset Management took over the property, the building stood unfinished for two years. The exterior of Riverside Plaza has since been completed.

Completing the interior work is expected to increase the number of residents in the

downtown area, who are expected to support existing businesses and help attract new dining, retail and service establishments, the village said.

“By next year, there will have been over $81 million invested in infrastructure and private development in downtown Algonquin since the beginning of the Great Recession,” Schmitt said.

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

Saints look like most complete team in NFC New Orleans has been one of the top offenses in the NFL since it won the Super Bowl in 2009, but has struggled mightily on defense in recent seasons. And, of course, it had to overcome the stain of Bountygate in 2012 without their head coach.

But Sean Payton is back this season and he brought a new defensive coordinator, Rob Ryan, along with him. Suddenly, the 4-0 Saints are looking like they could be the most complete team in the NFC. AP photo Along with Jets coach Rex New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton (right) and defensive coordina- Ryan, Rob is one of the twin sons tor Rob Ryan (center) watch from the sideline during a game against of legendary Bears defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan. Although the Arizona Cardinals on Sept. 22 in New Orleans.

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush Rob doesn’t run dad’s “46,” he does run an attacking 3-4 defense that many thought the Saints didn’t have the personnel to play.

So far, these Saints are proving everybody wrong.

It still all starts, though, with the NFL’s most productive offense, led by All Pro quarterback Drew Brees, who has thrown for more than 5,000 yards each of the past two seasons and is on that pace again this year.

Brees gets rid of the ball as quickly as anyone in the league, is remarkably accurate, and Payton and he seem to be able to read each other’s minds. Brees’ only foible is he will throw the occasional interception, and the Bears have a habit of turning those into six points.

The ground game is spread fairly evenly among Pierre Thomas and Darren Sproles, with both as likely to be used as receivers.

Sproles averages more than 10 yards a catch in the passing game and is the most dangerous thirddown back in the league.

R-B falls in title match

Trojans roll past Warriors Wins sets up battle for 1st place in FVC Valley with Jacobs on Friday

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com CARY – The feeling McHenry experienced against Cary-Grove was that of helplessness.

On offense, the Trojans could not be stopped. On defense, they would not budge.

Improving each week and building momentum through a season is something for which teams strive, and C-G has done it masterfully. The Trojans, who start only six seniors on both sides, rolled past McHenry, 4814, on Saturday at Al Bohrer Field for their fourth consecutive Fox Valley Conference Valley Division victory.

C-G (4-2 overall, 4-0 FVC Valley) racked up 334 yards of offense, while allowing 26, by halftime. The Trojans’ first-team offense played one series into the third quarter before being pulled and finished all six of its drives with touchdowns.

The win sets up C-G and Jacobs (4-2, 3-0) in a battle for first place in the division at 7:15 p.m. Friday at Jacobs.

“We blocked well today,” Trojans coach Brad Seaburg said. “We were

able to sustain drives and finish drives that we didn’t do against Prairie Ridge (a 6-0 victory last week).

Our emphasis was on everybody doing their job. For the most part, it seemed like we did that and put some points on the board.”

Freshman fullback Tyler Pennington, starting his third game, put up big numbers again. Pennington finished with 20 carries for 167 yards and two touchdowns.

NU maximizes Colter’s talents

By SETH GRUEN sgruen@suntimes.com EVANSTON – Throughout its out-of-conference schedule, Northwestern tied a hand behind its back when it came to Kain Colter.

The Wildcats knew Colter, arguably the most athletic player to come through the program, has the ability to play every skill position

on offense. Yet, they waited.

Kept things vanilla, knowing Colter is most effective when teams are playing a game of “Where’s Waldo” on the fly.

So it wasn’t until Saturday’s 40-30 loss to Ohio State that Northwestern actually used Colter as he is most effective – without a definitive position.

All week in practice leading up to Saturday’s game, the Wildcats had given Colter nu-

merous reps at receiver. Conservatively estimated, Colter spent 30 percent of his practice time Tuesday and Wednesday lined up in the slot.

It clearly was a big part of the Wildcats’ game plan.

But mysteriously, Colter went through much of the AP photo third quarter without playing Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter is tackled in the end a down at any position.

HAMPSHIRE – Facing the second-ranked volleyball player in the country forces opponents to analyze nearly every play if they are to stop her.

Burlington Central had the unpleasant assignment Saturday when it faced Richmond-Burton senior outside Ali Frantti, whose national rank gives teams quivers before Frantti even sets foot on the court.

Burlington used every option it had to slow Frantti and force R-B to utilize its other hitters during the championship match of the Hampshire Tournament. Burlington’s efforts, which included a strong block and a record-breaking defensive performance from libero Allie O’Reilly, offset Richmond’s Game 2 comeback and helped Central nab a 25-21, 25-23 victory and the tournament title.

“When you’re playing against one of the best players in the nation, you give credit where credit is due,” Central coach Marv Leavitt said. “Frantti is a phenomenal player and we want to make sure anything she hits she has to earn. She earned them today. … When we’re down, though, we always seem to bounce back.”

R-B led for most of Game 2, thanks in part to Frantti’s blistering 10-point serving sequence that included three aces and a kill and two blocks from setter Kelsey Burlini (82 assists). Central adjusted and O’Reilly went to work, breaking a school record for digs and popping up everything Richmond’s other hitters smacked.

Burlington pulled within three, 18-15, and played the rest of the match mistake-free. Frantti (63 kills) accounted for the rest of R-B’s points and proved difficult to stop despite a double block from Central outside Jenna Schudel and setter Maddy Berry.

“We got away from the things that helped us be successful earlier in the day,” interim R-B coach Laura Karamitos said.

R-B earned its berth in the title match with wins against Hampshire, Rockford Auburn and Marengo in pool play and against Harvest Christian in the championship semifinals. Against the Lions, R-B right side hitter Kayla Volling knocked down seven kills and outside hitter Emily Greibe balanced the attack with four.

The host Whip-Purs finished fourth, losing to Harvest Christian in the consolation final. Senior

as told to Jeff Arnold

T

he Cubs fired Dale Sveum this week after his second season as manager on the North Side. Tom Musick and Meghan Montemurro discuss:

Musick: How will history remember the Dale Sveum era with the Cubs? I’ll tell you what I’ll remember most. He always had a three- or four-day-old stubble. Never clean shaven, never a full beard. Also, I liked the tattoos on his arms.

Montemurro: Certainly his Hellboy tattoo set him apart from other managers. I appreciated how Sveum, for the most part, was pretty honest when he faced the media. Of course, that sometimes led to questionable comments like when he suggested earlier this season Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro – with contracts worth a combined $101 million – could be sent to Triple-A if they continued to struggle. Wish I could have seen Theo Epstein’s reaction when he heard that.

Musick: Is it fair to assume that Rizzo and Castro were reasons No. 1 and No. 1A why Sveum was tossed in the Dumpster along with all of that old Ron Santo memorabilia?

Montemurro: Rizzo, Castro and the development – or lack of – of young players ultimately cost Sveum his job. Theo and Co. certainly didn’t give him much talent to work with.

But Sveum failed to help guys like Rizzo and Castro take their game to the so-called next level. When you add in some communications issues, Sveum was doomed. Maybe Kevin Gregg bought him some walkie-talkies as a going-away gift so Sveum doesn’t have any communication issues with his new club in Kansas City.

Did Sveum’s stint leading the Cubs make you yearn for the Mike Quade era?

Musick: I do miss Quade. The guy took the El to Wrigley for his first home game as manager. How great is that? Could you imagine Marc Trestman riding the Metra to Soldier Field for Sunday’s game against the Saints?

Or seeing Tom Thibodeau on the 50 Damen bus heading to the United Center? Ultimately, though, Quade was an average Joe as a manager. Sveum probably was, too, although Theo the Genius didn’t give him much support. I’m going to go ahead and guess that the Cubs’ next manager will be equally as average and forgettable as Quade and Sveum.

Great managers (see: Tony La Russa, Joe Maddon, etc.) are tough to come by.

Montemurro: Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville would be outted in two seconds if he did what Quade did. That’s one recognizable ’stache he’s rocking. As for the future Cubs’ manager, it’s true that he will just be the next guy who comes in thinking he’ll change decades of futility only to get chewed up and spit out by an organization that hasn’t been able to capture that elusive World Series title.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi seems like the ideal guy to lead the Cubs. He’d bring instant credibility inside the clubhouse and he’s a proven winner. I’m surprised Cubs fans aren’t outside Wrigley chanting “We want Joe.” Musick: Chanting or no chanting, they’ll get Joe. He’ll be here when the Yankees visit Wrigley Field in late May. But I hear that Girardi is a man of deep faith, so maybe he views the Cubs job as a chance to help those in need. You’re around the Cubs a lot more than I am. If Girardi (or anyone else, for that matter) takes the job, how quickly will they be able to lead a contender? Is Theo the Genius really making smart moves, or do we just want to believe that?

Montemurro: Whoever comes in won’t be a miracle worker. The Cubs should be better next year but likely won’t achieve contender status until 2015, at the earliest. The organization has more talent in the minors, which you can thank Theo for, but until that carries over to the big league team, whoever the Cubs hire to manage has a tough job ahead of him.

Pat Curran is the current Bellator featherweight champion and boasts a 19-4 record, having won four straight fights. Curran, who fights out of Crystal Lakebased Team Curran MMA – run by Curran’s cousin, Jeff Curran – returns to the cage Nov. 2 to face Daniel Straus in Bellator 106 at Long Beach (Calif.) Arena. Curran, who has been in training camp for his upcoming fight for two weeks, won’t consider what could come next with another win – including a forray into the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

I was always the underdog in my fights and now that I’m the champ, I guess I’m kind of the favorite and everyone’s gunning for me. I like that – everyone wants what I have worked for. But I’ve worked too hard just to let it go to anyone and I’m going to hold on my title for a long time. That really motivates me right now. I don’t want to start back at Square One. I’ve put too much time and work into this just to let it go. So that definitely drives me to keep training and become a better fighter. [Being the champion] really doesn’t change too much. I’m still the same person and I still think the same way and as long as I have the right state of mind going into my fights, I should be fine. But I’ve gotten where I am for a reason – I didn’t get here by luck and everyone wants to be in my position and be a world champion. But I’m happy to defend it and ruin their day.

When I get into training camp, I try not to think too much about the fight too much. I just want to get through my training and work on developing my skills and fine-tuning everything up. I will put a lot of scenarios into my head – like what could happen or what reaction will I have? But I try not to think about [the fight] too much. I just look at [Straus’] fights, some of his techniques, some of the combinations he’ll throw and I just kind of go from there.

But I don’t think about it too much because it’s going to mentally drain you.

We fought four years ago and that’s a long time ago. I can’t expect him to be the same fighter and I know that he’s a lot better. I’ve taken that into consideration and I’m not going to look past that. I’ve won against him before and I knocked him out, but he’s really a changed fighter and I’m expecting it to go five rounds. But [like Straus], I’ve grown so much and changed so much as a fighter the last couple of years just being in Bellator and so it’s like we both grew at the same time and so it’s going to be a completely different fight from our first one.

Honestly, I don’t even think about [UFC]. I have a fight in front of me and that’s really the only thing I can focus on. I have trouble worrying about other things leading up to a fight, I have to just solely focus on the task in front of me. There’s always going to be a little bit of nerves going into the cage and some anxiety, but you get that before every one of your fights. I know my abilities – I just have to go out there and perform. I know I can be a better fighter and I know I’m not there yet. I just have to keep driving and pushing myself to be that fighter. I know where I am right now – I know I’ve become a champion, I’ve accomplished a lot, but in my head, I still have a lot more to accomplish.

He scored two touchdowns and ran for a career-high 266 yards in the Huskies’ 38-24 win. NIU had 698 yards of offense, the eighth-highest total in Mid-American Conference history.

Rees leads Irish to Shamrock win

By SCHUYLER DIXON

Next for Notre Dame

The Associated Press ARLINGTON, Texas – Tommy Rees threw for 279 yards and three touchdowns, and Notre Dame made it 5 for 5 in the traveling Shamrock Series with a 37-34 victory against No. 22 Arizona State on Saturday.

Kyle Brindza kicked three second-half field goals, the go-ahead kick from 25 yards with 3:03 remaining. He tied a Notre Dame record with a 53-yarder that matched the longest in a college game at the $1.2 billion home of the Dallas Cowboys.

It was the second win in Texas in the five-year Shamrock run of home games on the road for the Irish (4-2), starting with a victory over Washington State in San Antonio in 2009.

Taylor Kelly threw for 362 yards and three scores for the Sun Devils (3-2), who missed a chance to become the first

team to beat Southern California and Notre Dame in consecutive weeks.

T.J. Jones had eight catches for 135 yards, including a pair of first-down catches on the drive to the winning field goal. Cam McDaniel, who went to school in nearby Coppell, had four straight carries for 32 yards to get Notre Dame in field goal range.

The Irish clinched the win when Dan Fox, who recovered a fumble to set up a touchdown, returned Kelly’s second interception 14 yards for a touchdown with 1:08 remaining.

The Sun Devils pulled within 37-24 on Kelly’s third

TD – a 16-yarder to Marion Grice with 11 seconds left – but Jones recovered an onside kick.

Notre Dame, one of the best in the country at rushing the passer last year but statistically one of the worst this year, found its form. The Irish pressured Kelly throughout, and Prince Shembo had a key sack on the first play after Notre Dame went ahead.

The Irish led 24-13 after Rees’ 21-yard touchdown on a jump ball to 6-foot-7 tight end Troy Niklas, but the Sun Devils got back in it with a 37-yard interception return by Osahon Irabor and Kelly’s 21-yard scoring toss to De’Marieya Nelson that made it 27-all.

Notre Dame’s first regular-season game in the Dallas area since 1958 was technically a home game, and had that feel.

Both end zones were labeled “Notre Dame,” with the Texas-themed Shamrock Series logo at midfield.

Mathew Sims finished off the scoring with a 31-yard field goal.

NIU remained unbeaten, but Kent State (2-4, 1-2) all-

world athlete Dri Archer made things tough on the Huskies.

After Stingily’s first touchdown, Archer took the ensuing kickoff from Tyler Wedel out of the end zone and to the house to tie the game. Archer also had a receiving touchdown, catching a 66-yard pass from Colin Reardon with 5:19 left in the first half.

Huskies coach Rod Carey decided to kick away from Archer the rest of the game.

“It worked, ball wasn’t in his hands,” Carey said.

“Should have done it one earlier, I can tell you that.”

Defensively, senior safety Jimmie Ward had an interception and a fumble recovery for the Huskies. Ward has four picks on the season.

NIU held Archer in check on offense outside of the 66yard touchdown catch. He finished with four grabs for 80 yards, and 13 yards rushing on four carries. It was Ward’s job to keep an eye on him. “[Defensive coordinator Jay] Niemann had it set up, like everywhere Archer goes I go,” Ward said. “Basically I wanted to press him because I think he’s a better running back than a wide receiver.”

The Huskies continue conference play next Saturday at Huskie Stadium, where NIU will host 1-5 Akron.

Colter sat in 3rd, returned in 4th • WILDCATS Continued from page C1 Considering how effective the Wildcats’ offense was with Colter in the game and all over the field, it gave reason to question why he wasn’t in the game.

Colter was seen at one point wearing a headset and on other occasions holding his helmet on the sideline.

However, he quickly returned to action in the fourth quarter.

He didn’t play a down of quarterback in the fourth quarter until the Wildcats had the ball with just more than five minutes left and trailing 34-30.

Though Northwestern appeared to move the ball effectively in the first half with Colter at receiver and Trevor Siemian at quarterback, Ohio State got considerably better with its pass rush in the second half.

Next for N’western Northwestern at Wisconsin, 2:30 p.m.

Saturday, ABC Unable to afford negative plays, the Wildcats’ coaching staff elected to go with the improvisational ability of Colter, which proved to be effective until a fourth-and-1 play in the fourth quarter.

With Northwestern trailing 34-30, Colter fumbled the snap and failed to covert the fourth down.

A close play, Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald was forced to use a challenge, which ultimately failed and cost Northwestern a timeout.

As a result, after stopping Ohio State on its ensuing possession, the Buckeyes were able to burn clock before punting and Northwestern

got the ball back with only 21 seconds on the clock.

Mirroring the way in which the conference season played out last year, Siemian had the majority of the passing attempts. But Colter still was involved in every facet of the offense.

Colter passed, ran and caught the ball for the Wildcats and was their go-to guy in the biggest moments of the game.

He caught a nine-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter for the Wildcats’ first score of the game.

He followed that with a two-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, spinning away from Ohio State safety Corey Brown before plunging into the end zone.

On both occasions, Northwestern was down and they looked to Colter in the red zone to make a play. Each Colter score gave the Wildcats the lead immediately after trailing in the game.

LIGHTNING 3, BLACKHAWKS 2 (SO)

Hawks blow late lead

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – The Blackhawks held an opponent to zero shots on goal in a period for the first time in nearly 67 years, but blew a third-period lead, falling to the Tampa Bay Lightning, 3-2, in a shootout Saturday night at the United Center.

Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Marian Hossa all were stopped by Ben Bishop – who had 37 saves in the game – in the shootout, and Valtteri Filppula had the lone goal to give the Lightning the win. It was a stunning end, given how weakly Tampa Bay started.

Corey Crawford only had to make 14 saves, and the first one didn’t come until 81 seconds had passed in the second period. The only oth-

corner and skittered across the goalmouth, while Tampa Bay goalie Ben Bishop was behind the net, waiting for the usual carom. Saad beat Bishop to the puck and flipped it into the open net for his second goal in as many games this season. Crawford picked up an assist on the goal.

But the Lightning, after being so thoroughly dominated for two periods, struck midway through the third period.

Martin St. Louis’ backhander of a Matthew Carle rebound cut the lead to 2-1 at 10:08 of the third, and Teddy Purcell’s power play goal tied it less than two minutes later. It was the fourth power play goal the Hawks have surrendered in seven chances this season, and sent the game into overtime despite the Hawks having a 37-14 edge in shots during regulation.

Saints at Bears NOON, SUNDAY, Fox, AM-780, FM-105.9 Shaw Media sports writer Kevin Fishbain breaks down this week’s Bears game: SAINTS Bears offensive tackle Jermon Bushrod is seen on the bench during the fourth quarter against the Detroit Lions on Sunday at Ford Field in Detroit.

Bears’ tackle Bushrod faces team where he blossomed BEARS INSIDER Kevin Fishbain

S

ean Payton remembered when Jermon Bushrod’s career took off. It was the start of a road that leads to Sunday, when Payton’s Saints will see Bushrod on the other side of the line in a Bears jersey.

In 2009, the Saints were scrimmaging the Texans when starting left tackle Jammal Brown went down with an injury. Bushrod, who was drafted in the fourth round in the 2007 draft and had appeared in only three NFL games, stepped in.

“From that day forward, he had been the left tackle here,” Payton said. “He has been involved in a lot of wins and a lot of our success, and he’s also a personality you miss. He just had a way about him coming to work and doing his job on a very consistent basis.”

Four years as a starter and one Super Bowl ring later, Bushrod entered free agency, where he signed a lucrative five-year deal to be the Bears’ long-awaited answer on the blind side.

On Sunday, he’ll see several good friends, including guard Jahri Evans, who was in Bushrod’s wedding. Bushrod also will see Drew Brees, the quarterback he protected for four seasons.

“I loved Jermon Bushrod when he was here. He was a big part of our offensive line, he was a mainstay for four years going back to that Super Bowl year,” Brees said.

“I loved his focus, I loved his preparation, I loved his work ethic. He got a great opportunity in free agency to go to a

Time of possession key 1

One of the keys to a Bears victory is to keep the Saints offense off the field. That could prove difficult because the Saints are No. 1 in the NFL in time of possession, averaging 34:17 a game while the Bears are 14th at 30:28. Expect the Bears to try and reprise their gameplan against the Steelers, when they controlled the ball for 10:31 of the first quarter with an opening drive of 13 plays for 51 yards that took 6:58 off the clock. The Bears threw 18 passes vs. 13 runs in the first half, but didn’t throw a pass of more than 11 yards.

The key to any game is taking care of the football, but it is super critical not to allow the Saints to play on a short field. The Bears lead the league with 53 points off turnovers but are also 22nd in the league, allowing 28 points off turnovers. New Orleans is 8th in scoring 31 points off turnovers and 7th allowing them at just 13.

The Bears and Saints are tied for 5th in the NFL with +5 turnover/takeaway ratios, but the Bears have committed nine turnovers, the Saints just five.

It wasn’t just the financials that played out nicely

for Bushrod – not many free agents get to sign with a playoff contender and have the same position coach – Aaron

Kromer.

Kromer said the Bears scouting department knew Bushrod was a player they wanted and then asked him about the reunion.

“Of course, with the success he’s had over the past and my workings with him, I know he’s a smart, tough, competitive man, so of course I would agree,” Kromer said.

Having a familiar face like Bushrod in the offensive line room helped Kromer’s transition to the new job.

There’s not many places where a left tackle signing gets as much excitement as it did in Chicago, a city that has had a brutal offensive line in recent seasons. Thus far, Bushrod has been flagged only twice – both for holding, and one was declined.

He has allowed one sack, per Pro Football Focus, and has a plus-1.9 grade in his run blocking.

Brees knows this is how it works in the NFL – Bushrod rose to the occasion in New Orleans, and now he helps anchor the line in Chicago.

“You have great players that you draft, you develop them, then they become even greater players and then they have opportunities to go off in free agency,” he said. “I don’t fault either side for that.”

For Bushrod, that opportunity landed him with Kromer in Chicago, giving the Bears a left tackle they have felt good about to start the 2013 season.

“I lucked out, going from one good organization to another good organization,” Bushrod said. “This organization has a lot of history, a lot of passion. You kind of just feed off that passion because you want to help bring success to an organization like this.”

Bears’ rushing offense vs. Saints’ rushing defense If there’s a game to establish the run for the Bears, it’s this one. Not only will it keep Drew Brees off the field, but New Orleans is allowing a league-worst 5.5 yards a carry. Although Matt Forte has busted some big runs this season, the Saints have allowed only 20.5 carries a game, as the Bears have to avoid falling behind. Slim advantage to the Bears.

Edge: Bears

Bears’ passing offense vs. Saints’ passing defense Another clear reason for the Bears to get the ground game going is because the Saints have not been kind to opposing quarterbacks. The Saints have picked off seven passes this season, and quarterbacks are completing only 56.9 percent of their passes for a rating of 65.1. Rob Ryan’s 3-4 defense has 12 sacks and will cause problems for Jay Cutler, who threw three picks last week.

Edge: Saints Saints’ rushing offense vs. Bears’ rushing defense The Saints’ backs may be bigger threats to the Bears’ “D” as receivers, not runners, but we thought the same thing last week before Reggie Bush torched the Bears’ nickel defense. The Bears know tackling needs to improve and if it does, they can gain a slight edge against a Saints rushing attack averaging only 3.4 yards a carry.

Edge: Bears

Saints’ passing offense vs. Bears’ passing defense The Bears’ pass “D” was not the problem against the Lions, it actually held up well. Drew Brees, Jimmy Graham and Darren Sproles present a whole other challenge, though. Brees has struggled against the Bears in his career with a completion percentage of 59.4, but he should have his way against a defense that simply isn’t getting enough pressure on the quarterback.

Edge: Saints

Sunday’s edge This won’t be a walkover for the Saints. It’s not easy to win on the road in the NFL, let alone win five in a row. The Bears should keep it close in a shootout, but New Orleans is clicking in all phases right now, something the Bears are not doing. The special teams, turnovers on offense and tackling on defense need to improve, and the Saints are the opponent that will take advantage.

Saints 38, Bears 21

LAKE FOREST – Jordan Mills could have worn any NFL jersey as a kid growing up in Louisiana.

But Mills didn’t want to wear any jersey. He wanted to wear a New Orleans Saints jersey.

And, unfortunately for Mills, the Saints were pretty bad. His options were limited.

“I had an Aaron Brooks jersey,” Mills said with a smile, remembering the quarterback who led the Saints to one winning record in five seasons as a starter.

Surely, some of you understand.

Who among you wore a Rex Grossman jersey? Cade McNown? Shane Matthews?

But the Bears and the Saints are much better now than they were when the ball dropped on the new century. Expect plenty of scoring as Drew Brees and the Saints match up against Jay Cutler and the Bears on Sunday at Soldier Field.

The stands will be packed with 60,000-plus fans wearing Bears gear, but safety Craig Steltz will spend his day searching for opponents in black and gold. Steltz was born in Metairie, La., and played for Louisiana State, and the symbol on the Saints helmet still reminds him of home.

“The Fleur-de-Lis means something New Orleans to me,” said Steltz, already in his sixth season with the Bears. “But the Saints don’t.”

Steltz, Mills, Matt Forte and

The Bears Jordan Mills blocks San Diego’s Damik Schafe (rear) and Donald Butler (56) during the Bears’ first-quarter touchdown drive during a preseason game against the Chargers on Aug. 15 at Soldier Field.

Michael Ford grew up in Louisiana, and a fifth, Charles Tillman, played football at LouisianaLafayette. By comparison, seven players come from California, six players from Texas and four from Florida.

Population-wise, Louisiana doesn’t stack up to the other states. So what makes kids from Cajun Country so good at football?

“I’ll always say that Louisiana high school football is some of the best in the country,” Steltz said.

Ford agreed. He was born in Leesville, La., and played running back at LSU. “Being from the South, it’s tradition,” Ford said. “You play football year-round. It’s not like the North. I don’t think y’all have spring ball up here.”

Sure we do. It’s called baseball.

But one who grows up in Louisiana is not required to become a Saints fan. The 1990s and early 2000s largely marked the era of the “New Orleans ’Aints,” and it wasn’t until Sean Payton

and Drew Brees’ arrival in 2006 that wins started to pile up.

Was Ford a die-hard fan with a No. 2 Brooks jersey, like his teammate Mills?

“Never,” Ford said with a laugh. “Never.

“My favorite player all-time is Barry Sanders. It’s the only jersey I ever wore.”

Well, sure. It’s easy to cheer for one of the best who ever played the game.

So, Mills was left to fend for himself in the locker room at Halas Hall.

Sure, he supported a bad team as a kid. But that’s what makes a great fan.

At least, a great former fan.

“I grew up watching the Saints every Sunday,” Mills said.

“From when they weren’t doing so good until they won the Super Bowl, I’ve been a Saints fan.

“But I’m a Bear now. It’s all about the Chicago Bears.”

We’ll be on top of every minute of the season on your new 24/7 home for Bears football, led by one of the most trusted names in both Bears and pro football coverage.

• ARKUSH Continued from page C1 The Saints’ offensive line seems to shed Pro Bowlers – Carl Nicks to Tampa two years ago and Jermon Bushrod to the Bears this year – without losing too much in effectiveness. They are allowing an average of 2½ sacks a game, but when your quarterback throws 42 times a game and leaves the pocket as often as a groundhog leaves his hole in winter, that’s going to happen.

This could be the key matchup in the ballgame. The Bears have not been able to get pressure from just their front four, and blitzing the Saints can be a suicide mission. Stephen Paea missed practice all week and will be questionable. Corey Wootton and Shea McClellin absolutely must show up.

Jimmy Graham is the best receiving tight end in football and a matchup nightmare for every safety and linebacker in the league. Will Mel Tucker try and cover him with Major Wright and/or Chris Conte in bracket coverage?

Marques Colston’s a true No. 1 receiver and Nick Toon, Kenny Stills and Robert Meachem provide plenty of depth.

How have the Saints surprised on defense?

Cameron Jordan was drafted in the first round out of California three years ago to play end in the 4-3 but has proved a natural at the five technique in Ryan’s 3-4 and already has three sacks.

Saints’ tight end Jimmy Graham (left) runs after catching a Drew Brees pass during an Aug. 6 practice in Metairie, La. Rookie John Jenkins was the 82nd player chosen in the draft this year and at 6-foot-3, 359 pounds, he’s been a force at nose tackle. Akiem Hicks was the 89th player chosen last year out of Regina College in Canada, and at 6-5, 330, he has dominated at times at the other three technique. They’re unknowns who’ve been extremely productive.

Junior Galette has been extremely active at one of the outside rush linebacker spots and David Hawthorne and Curtis Lofton are tackling machines as the inside linebackers.

Rookie first-round safety Kenny Vacarro is an early frontrunner for defensive rookie of the year, and fellow defensive backs Malcolm Jenkins, Jabarri Greer and Keenan Lewis all are extremely productive.

This is a different 3-4 from the Steelers in how it attacks, and the Bears’ ability to keep Jay Cutler clean will dictate whether they can afford a shootout with the Saints.

Tommy Armstrong Jr., starting his second straight game at quarterback for the injured Taylor Martinez, led the Huskers (4-1, 1-0) to touchdowns on his first three series at quarterback and Nebraska piled up 521 yards.

“We’re a dangerous duo now. We go out there and we move the chains,” Armstrong said, recalling what Abdullah told him after the game.

Just as big as Abdullah and Armstrong’s performance was that of Nebraska’s defense, which had been one of the nation’s worst through four games.

LINCOLN, Neb. – Illinois had a chance to seize momentum late in the first half against Nebraska. And then its offense went three plays and out.

The Illini could never seriously challenge the Cornhuskers after that and went on to lose, 39-19, Saturday, extending their Big Ten losing streak to 15 games.

Down 23-3, Illinois tied up Nebraska running back Imani Cross in his end zone for a safety, and the free kick set up the Illini at their 47.

But Nathan Scheelhaase, with a chance to get his team within two scores of the Huskers at halftime, couldn’t get anything going and the Illini (3-2, 0-1) had to punt.

Giants get Tigers win invite a grip, win NAC game

By PATRICK MASON pmason@shawmedia.com MOOSEHEART – With a little more than two minutes to play and the score tied, Alden-Hebron football coach John Lalor stepped out onto the turf field at Mooseheart and challenged the offense to win the game.

“We can march down this field and win this game,” Lalor began as he moved his headset away from his mouth, “Or you can let [Mooseheart] push you around. This is what we’ve been waiting for all season.”

The Giants began their drive at the Mooseheart 48-yard line after the defense forced and recovered a fumble. The Giants gained only two yards on three plays and were facing a crucial fourth-and-8. Sophomore quarterback Colten Cashmore uncorked a pass down the sideline and found a streaking Nick Beck for 40 yards. Beck hurt his left ankle on the play and Lalor turned to running back Nate Peterson to punch it in from the six.

Peterson picked up the six yards on two carries, including the game-winning score with 40.5 seconds remaining. The Giants held on for a 23-16 Northeastern Athletic Conference victory.

“The kids grew up a bit today,” Lalor said.

The Giants (4-2, 4-2 NAC) battled back after a rough first half that included four fumbles – all of which were recovered by Mooseheart. The Red Ramblers scored a 70yard defensive touchdown after recovering one of the fumbles for the game’s first score.

A-H put the ball on the ground again on the next drive, which Mooseheart (4-2, 4-2) turned into another touchdown. The Giants’ turnovers put them in a 16-0 hole at the halfway point.

Peterson accounted for three first-half fumbles and Lalor said that defenses have been keying on the sophomore, trying to rip the ball from his hands before they tackle him.

“He’s a good runner, but sometimes he tries to do too much,” Lalor said. “He tries to fight for those extra yards each time and that’s when he loses it.”

Ideally, the Giants want to use Beck in the passing game and as a spell-back for Peterson, but in the second half Lalor used Beck out of the backfield almost exclusively. The senior had only two carries for six yards in the first half but exploded for 85 yards on 17 touches in the second half.

The comeback started right away in the third quarter as Beck carried the ball six times for 59 yards on their first possession of the second half that set up a 12-yard touchdown run by Cody Nelson. The Giants then got the ball back after Avi Mor intercepted a pass over the middle. A-H marched 63 yards for another touchdown and decided to go for two.

The Giants converted the play two different times, though each was negated by a penalty. Still needing two to tie, the third try began at the 16-yard line, and Cashmore found Beck for the conversion.

“I knew if I didn’t stay in the pocket and let the play develop, I wouldn’t hear the end of it from coach,” Cashmore said. “I just had to trust Nick.”

Now the focus was on stopping the Red Ramblers, who have several players who can make explosive plays. The two receivers, JJ Odunsi and Hameed Odunewu, stand at 6-foot-2 and 6-4, respectively, and combined for 125 yards. Because A-H doesn’t have players who can match up physically with the pass catchers, the Giants played a lot of 2-deep coverage to limit the big plays and it worked. The Giants didn’t allow a point in the second half and had two interceptions.

The strong defense set up Cashmore’s first career game-winning drive and a chance for Peterson to redeem himself after a tough first half.

“I had a bad first half and I needed to pick it up,” Peterson said of his game-winning score. “I just gripped it as hard as I could. I just knew I had to forget about [the fumbles] and not live in the past if I was going to help us win.”

said.

The course weaves through Crystal Lake and neighborhoods to showcase the town. The foundation worked with police to help make a safe course and to coordinate street closures.

Preregistration was available, but day-of registration still is an option and opens at 6:30 a.m. Sunday and will continue until the race begins at 8 a.m. All proceeds from the event benefit the Lakeside Legacy Foundation and Historic Dole Mansion.

Gregoire rushes for 2 touchdowns • TROJANS-WARRIORS Continued from page C1 “He’s getting a lot of the tough yards and he’s running hard,” Seaburg said.

“He’s getting more confident. We’re hoping the pieces are starting to fall into place.”

Pennington had only one carry in the second half, for 16 yards, before the second-team offense took over.

“The linemen have been doing a great job,” Pennington said. “They’re consistent every week out there and that’s really who I have to thank.”

Quarterback Jason Gregoire ran for two touchdowns and running backs Zach McQuade and Matt Sutherland each added one. McQuade was supposed to be a starter at the beginning of the season, but missed five games with a broken collarbone.

Backup fullback Zach Forney scored C-G’s last touchdown on a seven-yard run.

“We could not stop their fullback,”

Warriors coach Dave D’Angelo said.

“The kid’s amazing. He’s a freshman?

They brought their two (NCAA) D-I linemen (Trevor Ruhland and Michael Gomez) and we couldn’t handle them.

They’re physically superior to us.”

McHenry (2-4, 0-3) also was missing several players who are recovering from concussions and had two starters – safety Cody Patchett and running back Jordan Johnson – who must miss two games for disciplinary reasons.

The Warriors would have had trouble keeping up with C-G even at full strength. They did end the Trojans’ string of scoreless quarters at 10 when quarterback Mike Briscoe dived in from the 1 in the third quarter.

“We definitely played low, played fast and got to the ball,” C-G defensive end Joey Maxwell said. “We played the way we normally do. People look at us and we’re small [on defense], but we show them with our speed and our physicality that we do what we have to do.”

CLS X-country wins by 58 points NORTHWEST HERALD The Crystal Lake South girls cross country team cruised to a 58-point victory in the Antioch Invitational on Saturday in Antioch. The Gators had five runners finish in the top 20, including three top-10 finishes.

Freshman Caitlin Bruzzini (20:15.7) led the way for CLS with her fourth-place finish. Kiley Britten (20:24.66) finished sixth, and right behind her was Debra Tomlinson (20:27.7).

Kitty Allen of Marengo took the top individual place with a time of 19:16.69, Prairie Ridge’s Erin Wagner was the only other runner to finish in fewer than 20 minutes. Allen’s time helped Marengo to a sixth-place finish. Ashlynd Broling (20:36.2) was second on the team, finishing in 12th place.

Prairie Ridge finished fourth with 120 points. The Wolves were led by Wagner’s second-place finish, and Andie Shine’s 10-place finish with a time of 20:29.8.

Harvard got a top-10 time from Jordan Peterson to help it finish in eighth place as a team. Peterson’s time of 20:28.5 was good enough for an eighth-place finish.

Richmond-Burton was ninth with Breanne Retherford leading with a ninthplace finish. Jacobs finished 11th. The Golden Eagles’ top finisher was Bailey Zinger in 34th.

Marian Central was led by Abigail Jones’ 17th-place finish. The Hurrcianes finished 12th with a score of 284. Johnsuburg did not compete as a team, but did have Anna Fox finish in 71st place.

“When our passing was on, we really moved the ball around well,”

he said. “Our serving ended up hurting us late.”

Woodstock coach Meghan Mullaney could relate. The Blue Streaks missed 25 serves Saturday – enough points to win a game. Woodstock finished sixth overall, beating Marengo in three games and losing to Burlington, Harvest Christian and South Elgin twice. Senior Andrea Wright paced the Streaks’ defense with 24 digs, and Megan Pau-

trat led offensively with 25 kills.

“Today, in general, we played amazing defense,” Mullaney said.

“Our block was there; our defense was there. But we’re not used to playing with teams. When we do, we don’t quite know how to finish. I think we hit the panic button (in the fifth-place match against South Elgin).”

Marengo suffered an early blow when setter Bailey Votava went down during warmups. Indians coach Meg

Dobbertin said Votava has been playing on a torn ACL all season and tweaked it Saturday. Many Indians players played out of position for the remainder of the tournament to make up for Votava’s absence. Marengo finished seventh with two wins against Auburn and losses to Woodstock, R-B and Hampshire.

Nikki Hammortree led Marengo’s offense with 22 kills while Lyndsey Hoeske had 14 aces.

PRESEASON: BULLS 82, PACERS 76

Bulls win in Rose’s return

By JOE COWLEY

Next for the Bulls

Chicago Sun-Times INDIANAPOLIS – There were moments.

A two-handed dunk off a breakaway, a layup in traffic to draw the foul, the chants of “MVP … MVP …’’ echoing throughout the visiting arena of Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

All reminders of what the hometown kid from Englewood once was 526 days ago.

There was also rust.

Four turnovers, some clumsy ball-handing in traffic, uncertainty with the basketball.

All reminders of what the No. 1 still needs to work on before the Bulls tip-off on Opening Night in Miami.

But Derrick Rose was back on a basketball court Saturday night in the 82-76 win over the Pacers. In uniform and playing in an NBA game for the first time since his left anterior cru-

Rose played 20:26, scoring 13 points on 5 for 12 shooting, 3 for 5 from the free-throw line, had three assists and then of course the four turnovers.

But what stood out was the aggressiveness he had, going right at Indiana’s bigs with an almost reckless abandon.

“I’m used to playing aggressive and that’s not going to stop me, me getting fouled or getting the and-one,’’ Rose said. “I’m not slowing down, I don’t care who is in the hole or whatever.

If they’re going to foul me hard I’m just going to get up and keep going hard at them. That’s what I’m trying to get used to.’’

The ASSOCIATED PRESS OAKLAND, Calif. – Stephen Vogt lined an RBI single in the ninth inning after rookie Sonny Gray matched zeros with Justin Verlander in a sensational playoff debut that helped the Oakland Athletics beat the Detroit Tigers, 1-0, on Saturday night, tying their AL Division Series at a game apiece.

Yoenis Cespedes and Seth Smith hit back-to-back singles against loser Al Alburquerque to start the winning rally, then Josh Reddick was intentionally walked before Rick Porcello entered to face Vogt.

The AL West champion A’s had eight walk-off wins during the regular season, then did it again at the perfect time on baseball’s October stage.

INVESTING IN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Manufacturing Day spotlights skills gap If you have not noticed, there has been a lot of talk about manufacturing lately from the media, politicians, business leaders and educators. In fact, Friday, marked the second anniversary of Manufacturing Day. The recognition host entities are Fabricators & Manufacturers Association International, National Association of Manufacturers , Manufacturing Extension Partnership and the Manufacturing Institute.

Manufacturing Day addresses common misperceptions about manufacturing by giving manufacturers an opportunity to open their doors and show, in a coordinated effort, what manufacturing is – and what it is not. By working together during and after Manufacturing Day, these companies are addressing the skilled labor shortage they face, connecting with future generations of workers, taking charge of the public image of manufacturing and ensuring the ongoing prosperity of the whole industry.

What is so exciting is that McHenry County has been focused on this initiative long before Manufacturing Day was created and the McHenry County Economic Development Corp. has been driving this initiative forward with our collaborative partners the McHenry County Workforce Network and McHenry County College for many years. In addition, many of our local manufacturers have been working independently with area high schools to educate students about opportunities in manufacturing.

One often hears that manufacturing is on the decline in the U.S. That is not correct. What is correct is that manufacturers have been enhancing efficiencies through the use of new technology. The result of these advanced manufacturing techniques is that the skill level of the workforce has also been raised creating the need for more skilled employees. Manufactures also have been able to increase production by utilizing new techniques within their existing building so there is no need to construct additional facilities. In talking with a number of our manufacturers, in the last two years, on an aggregate basis in McHenry County, more than $100 million has been spent on equipment, facility enhancements and training.

McHenry County’s focus on manufacturing continues to gain momentum by all of us talking and working together as partners.

Here are some examples: • MCC and the Workforce Network with support from the MCEDC received funding to create a welding boot camp back in 2007. It has been a success and model frequently referenced by elected officials, educators and manufacturers • MCC joined a consortium of community colleges for an advanced manufacturing grant which resulted in the new Robotics program; • MCEDC has a dedicated website for manufacturing – www.illinoismanufacturing.net. This site provides a directory of McHenry County manufacturers, aids in expanding supply chain opportunities and posts news and events of interest to our manufacturers.

• MCEDC, McHenry County Workforce Network, MCC partnered with counties to the west such as Winnebago, Boone and six others, to seek the Make It In America grant to further support manufacturing. We’re awaiting word on approval.

• The McHenry County Workforce Network and MCEDC together with our six collar county workforce and economic develop-

In Vegas, clubbing rivals gambling

Ron Nanstiel of Impact Plastics removes a plastic dumpster lid from an oven at the company’s facility in Huntley. Impact Plastics and some other McHenry County manufacturers continue to invest in research and development, despite a regional decline in such spending. Impact plastics spent two years developing its recently-released Double Impact “Wedge” Lid.

Bucking the trend Impact Plastics, other manufacturers invest in research

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – Owner Scott Lemajeur and his employees at Impact Plastics earlier this month introduced a more durable product aimed to address a common complaint among customers in the waste industry.

Plastic dumpster lids that contain the poignant smell of rotting trash and keeps rodents and bugs at bay were flimsy, breaking often at the hinge, the company would hear from customers.

Impact Plastics consequently developed the Double Impact “Wedge” Lid, a long piece of plastic that has a 20 percent thicker hinge line than its predecessor. It accomplished what the Huntley company wanted – a longer-lasting, durable product.

But the wedge lid’s release on Sept. 12 was merely the culmination of a two-year process involving trial and error, innovation, a new facility, and a specialty oven that Lemajeur has said couldn’t be achieved without a committed investment to research and development.

“We won’t slow down on R&D,” Lemajeur said.

“I totally understand why people would, but we are a different type of company.

We are trying to be innovators.”

Impact Plastics primarily needed the technology to make the thicker lid. The industrial ovens available on the market wouldn’t heat the plastic properly, since the new lid would be thinner on one end and much thicker near the hinge, Lemajeur said.

The inadequate heating would often warp the plastic.

Impact Plastics in turn developed plans and partnered with a Carol Stream company to design and test a specialty oven capable of heating the plastic at different temperatures.

Impact Plastics would eventually make a $1 million investment in the ov-

Tony Martinez of Impact Plastics removes excess plastic from a dumpster lid at the company’s facility in Huntley.

Impact Plastics What: Founded in 1999, Impact Plastics manufactures quality, environmentally-friendly products for the waste industry, including dumpster lids, casters, recycled wheels and roll-off parts.

Where: 11419 Smith Drive, Huntley Phone: 877-454-3748 ens, added 20 employees to produce the new product in-house and relocated its operation from Elgin to a bigger facility in Huntley.

“We innovate it and make it better,” Lemajeur said. “That’s what we do on every single product we touch.”

Since 1999, Impact Plastics has prided itself on developing, improving and researching ways to make its lids, casters and wheels better and more environmentally-friendly for its customers in the waste industry.

Impact Plastics’ commitment to research and development comes as more companies throughout the Chicago region diminish their investment to R&D. The seven-county Chicago region lost nearly half of its private research and

The region consistently ranked as the country’s second-largest research hub, next to New York, from 1970 to 2000, as the region’s R&D spending tripled. But throughout the last decade the region’s R&D output dropped by nearly $2 billion to a total of $4.1 billion, CMAP found.

The findings did not surprise Lemajeur, who said that companies shedding costs typically first look at research.

“The easiest thing to cut is R&D. You could make a ‘me, too’ product or compete on price,” he said. “For

me, that is not the future.

There is always someone who can go cheaper. For me, the future is value.”

Pam Cumpata, president of the McHenry County Economic Development Corporation, sees a similar dedication to innovation with area companies like Sage Products, Covidien and Duraflex.

As the economy recovers, companies in the area are starting to feel more confident about research and development, Cumpata said.

“Research and development is not important, it’s critical,” she said. “It’s all about how we improve a product, improve a process, and make things better. If we are not innovating, then business stops.”

LAS VEGAS – The cannon at the Flutter Fetti booth near the front of the gambling trade show in Las Vegas last week delivered regular bursts of metallic and crepe paper cutouts, shooting them to the ceiling in big booms and carpeting the floor with shimmering hearts, stars and circles.

The glittery mess outshone the slot machines and online poker touchscreens in more ways than one.

A poll conducted this year by the national gambling lobby found that 26 percent of casino-goers now skip wagering, and the city’s growing mega-clubs are threatening to become the most lucrative draw for a town built on betting.

“It’s an arms race,” said Flutter Fetti CFO John Stern, eying the laser booth nearby at the Global Gaming Expo’s “entertainment pavilion.” Lasers flickered in blinding circles on a white screen. Brightness is one of both products’ major selling points.

“Clubs want to add an extra element of wow,” said Marty Canavan, owner of the laser company YLS Entertainment Inc. “It used to be you were lucky to have two lasers on your show. Now you might have 26.”

Sin City now boasts 21 of the country’s 100 most profitable nightclubs, according to the trade publication Nightclub & Bar. The town also dominates the top 10 spots, with seven clubs bringing in more than $25 million a year. The other three clubs with earnings in that range are LIV and Mango’s Tropical Cafe in Miami Beach, and LAVO in New York City.

As clubs become increasingly important to casinos’ bottom line, programmers are competing ever more fiercely to offer partiers novelties they would never see at their local dance spot.

“It’s the full package these days,” said Pauly Freedman, director of operations for Encore Beach Club, Surrender and Andrea’s at the Wynn Las Vegas. “The DJs come in and they have their music, but they’re also bringing lighting directors in. So it’s up to us when we’re working alongside them to make sure we have the latest and greatest in our clubs.”

Last month, Surrender distributed 3D glasses at the door so clubbers could take in the graphics popping out from behind DJ Morgan Page.

Freedman is currently awaiting a new LED wall making its way on a boat from China.

He promises it will be the brightest in the city.

At Flutter Fetti, which provides confetti for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the new thing this year is canons that sync automatically to a DJ’s music, so that dancers are covered in metallic strips just as the track reaches its climax.

“Casinos need to create a celebration, and our products create the celebration,” CEO Ronee Holmes said.

Several clubs are investing in individual confetti canons, cardboard tubes that range from $1 to $6 each.

Get the most from college savings fund with 529 plan Dear Dave,

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey

Our daughter is 11 years old, and we save $50 a month for her. Right now, we’ve accumulated $4,200 for college, a car or just savings in general. Should we be investing this money, instead of putting it in a savings account?

– Jill

Dear Jill, If I’m in your shoes, I’d choose college as the focal point over the other things you’ve mentioned.

My advice would be to move that money into a 529 Plan with mutual funds inside. That way, it will grow tax-free from this point forward.

Then, if you continue to set $50 a month aside for her for seven more years – and the stock market averages 11 to 12 percent – you’d have about $16,000 sitting there when she turned 18. That wouldn’t fully pay for college, but it’d be a great start.

Plus, she can apply for scholarships and grants and work and save to

help make it happen.

As far as a car is concerned, I’d set up a separate savings account and agree to match whatever she saves. That way, if she can put aside $3,000 to $4,000, with the match she’ll have a pretty nice car. But in my mind, college is the most important thing here. If you guys can afford these contributions, and she wants to go to college and will hold up her end of the deal, you can work together as a family and make the idea of a college education a reality!

– Dave

Dear Dave, Should families who are struggling to pay off debt still give their kids commissions for doing chores?

Dear Steve,

Dear Dave,

Yes, but it doesn’t have to be a lot of money. Kids seldom get paid an amount that is equal to what the chore is worth. To be perfectly honest, the chores most kids do – especially the little ones – aren’t worth that much. I wouldn’t pay a kid five dollars a day, or even per week, to feed the dog. I mean, it takes less than 30 seconds to scoop the food into the bowl.

When it comes to paying kids commissions for chores, the biggest thing we’re trying to do is find teachable moments. We want the kids to learn that money is tied to work. Then, when they have some money, we want to teach them about the three uses for money – spending, saving and giving.

Teaching them wise ways to do those three things while you’re teaching them to work is the key.

And you can do that for a small amount of money.

– Steve

– Dave

How long should it take someone to fully fund their emergency fund?

– Chris

Dear Chris, On average, building an emergency fund takes six months to a year. It takes about 18 to 24 months for most people to pay off all of their debt, except for the house. That’s if they’re gazelle intense, and have no life other than getting control of their finances.

Baby step No. 1 is saving $1,000, and not paying extra on your debts until you have that money in the bank.

Once you’ve got a $1,000 starter emergency fund, then you list all of your debts except the house from smallest to largest and attack them with a vengeance. All you do is work and pay off debt until you clean up the mess. Once that’s done, you move on to the next baby step, which is adding to your emergency

Douglas Automotive opens at Barrington location BARRINGTON – After several months of painting and decorating, Douglas Automotive is now open for business at its new 6,000-square-foot location, 417 W. Main St., Barrington.

The space was previously occupied by Reber Automotive.

“It’s a heck of a way to celebrate our 20th anniversary,” Douglas Automotive President Douglas McAllister said. “We just completed two solid months of cleaning, painting and organizing the new Main Street location without skipping a beat at our former Hager location. I’ve got to hand it to my team, they’re great.”

The company has expanded its hours and will now be open 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays.

Douglas Automotive will celebrate the grand opening of its new Main Street location with a special VIP ribbon-cutting ceremony Oct. 24.

Service specials and community tours are already being offered to the public.

Douglas and Janet McAllister started Douglas Automotive in 1993 and today they have two full service automotive service facilities, one in Barrington and another in Crystal Lake.

fund until you have three to six months of expenses set aside. Most people can accomplish that in six months to a year.

There are always various factors involved because everyone’s situation is different. But in most cases, if you approach my plan with the kind of intensity I talk about, you can become debt-free except for your house and have a fully-loaded emergency fund in place in just two or three years.

ment organizations received a grant for the Accelerated Training of Illinois Manufacturing • MCEDC spearheaded and coordinated 844 high schools students attendance at the International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago with financial assistance from Scot Forge, Sage Products and Wells Manufacturing. We are planning for the 2014 show.

MCEDC annually recognizes McHenry County Business Champions at its annual dinner. Past winners include Other World Computing, Medela, Millennium Electronics, Scot Forge, Jan-Air, Astro Craft, Joule Technologies, Dordan Manufacturing, Chroma Technology, Impact Plastics and All-Rite Spring.

Another 17 companies have been nominated for this year’s Business Champion Awards. The winners will be announced at our annual dinner Nov. 5.

Another partner who has been critical to our manufacturing initiatives is the Illinois Manufacturing Excellence Center. IMEC was established in 1996 to improve the productivity and competitiveness of the state’s smalland mid-sized manufacturing firms. It links a company’s long-term plans and related goals with on-site implementation services by identifying performance gaps, solving these gaps and building a culture to support sustained improvements. The organiza-

tion helps optimize operating capacity, implement advanced product and process innovations, increase sales, enter new markets and improve profitability. IMEC customizes solutions to address each client’s specific needs, uses training to transfer knowledge and skills to the client’s employees and serves as a mentor and coach to sustain success.

With more than 25 percent of the county’s economic wealth being derived from manufacturing companies, we clearly need to continue to focus on this sector.

The MCEDC will celebrate its 22nd Annual Dinner Nov. 5 at the Crystal Lake Holiday Inn. We will again recognize the Business Champion finalists AptarGroup, Knaack, Covidien, Curran Group, Watlow, H.S. Crocker, Advanced Flexible Composites, Kold Ban International, Haiges Machinery, Eisenmann, Camfil, NiMCO, Phoenix Woodworking, Radicom, Effective Product Solutions, and Tegel Design, and announce the recipients of the 2013 awards.

In partnership with Sage Products LLC and Leadership Greater McHenry County, the keynote speaker is Harry Kraemer Jr, a board member of Sage Products, executive director of Madison Dearborn Partners and former CEO of Baxter International Inc. For information or to buy tickets, contact the MCEDC at 815-893-0895 or www.mcedc. com.

Purchase 2 Formostar Infrared BodyWrap Treatments ($150 value), One Weight Loss Consultation ($75 value), Plus a Formostar Firming Gel ($10 value) all for $49

Value $235

Check website for restrictions.

Hurry, this Big Deal ends Wednesday at 7 am!

Infrared wraps work to reduce cellulite & the slim body, by shedding fats and toxins, while increasing metabolism & relieving aches in 50 minutes.

Each 50-minute appointment begins with an application of heatactivated gel intended to dissolve fat. A technician then wraps clients who are still clothed in silicone pads that emit far-infrared heat, which penetrates deep into the body to heat up the core.

This can cause fat tissue to break up, smooth cellulite, burn up to 1,200 calories per session and jump-start the metabolism for up to 36 hours. It may also help with detoxification, pain relief, and skin enhancement. The client must wear a long sleeved shirt and long pants, both of which must be all cotton.

Simple pleasures bring family together After being away from home for a while, I have some catching up to do. High on the list is apple picking. It has been a family tradition ever since our children were old enough to walk, and it is one our children are passing on to their children.

It is amazing what can be done with apples. Baked apples with brown sugar and raisins in place of the core are a simple dessert. (Don’t forget the whipped cream topping.)

Apple pies are a staple, of course. If you are intimidated by the thought of making your own crust, buy frozen crusts at the supermarket.

When our family talks about apples, we are getting ready to start canning. It is not as much trouble as some think, and it can be a great opportunity for family time. It is applesauce that appeals most to me, but my husband is crazy about apple butter. The butter takes longer, but I have to admit that on bread (maybe with some cottage cheese on top), it is great. I have heard it mixes well with ice cream, too.

So far this year, we have canned only pickles, as the groundhog we share our garden with graciously spared us some. The other day, our daughter came over to make bread and butter pickles. It brought back fond memories of days in upper New York and the potluck dinners at our local church. One member of the church was famous for her bread and butter pickles, and she guarded her family recipe. I was honored when she shared it with me, and there have been only a few years since that we did not put it to use.

the big canning pot, we covered them with a clean towel and waited for the lids to make a popping sound.

After apple picking, Audrey Floyd of Crystal Lake enjoys a pony ride at Royal Oak Farm on Hebron Road in Harvard.

Bread and Butter Pickles

Our kitchen was filled with laughter and good smells. We now enjoy the pickles with grilled cheese sandwiches.

We are fortunate in McHenry County to have farmers markets, so the lack of a garden, or not having time to pick your own, does not have to keep you from enjoying these seasonal delights.

If you have some time for picking, however, McHenry County has many orchards to select from. A website, www. pickyourown.org/ilchicago. htm, lists 17 pick-your-own farms in the county. Most farms have their own websites.

Often there are other treats for the family such as pony or tractor rides, playgrounds, petting zoos and corn mazes.

Many also sell other food products such as apple pies and candied apples.

In recent years, we have gone to Royal Oak Farm on Hebron Road in Harvard because our Wisconsin daughter can meet us there more easily. If it is raining too hard, we can buy fresh cider and apples at their store and eat delicious apple pie or have a cup of hot cider in their restaurant. Then, we head home to make applesauce with the grandchildren.

Sometimes simple pleasures can make wonderful memories and count more than expensive entertainment.

First, we washed the cucumbers, onions and peppers and mixed them with the salt. Then, the old Crockpot

was brought up from the basement so the cucumbers and onions could be layered with cracked ice and weighed down with a plate to keep them submerged. We let it stand for 3 hours and then drained thoroughly.

Next, we made syrup from the remaining ingredients and brought it to a boil. We added the cucumber mixture and transferred it in a large pan over low heat. We heated to scalding, stirring with a wooden spoon. We placed it in sterile canning jars and boiled them for about 10 minutes. After taking the jars from

Holidays come early

By STEPHANIE WITT SEDGWICK The Washington Post Once you master indirect-heat grilling and learn to use your grill as an outdoor oven, a world of options opens up.

Here, the flavors of Thanksgiving dinner are captured. The turkey breast’s apple cider brine ensures moist results. The chunky apple-onion condiment comes together while the turkey is on the grill.

Brown Sugar-Brined Turkey With Warm Apple-Onion Jam About 10 servings For the turkey: 2 quarts unsweetened apple cider 2 quarts water 1 cup kosher salt 1 cup packed light brown sugar 2 teaspoons black peppercorns 3 bay leaves One 5½-to-6-pound bone-in, skin-on turkey breast For the jam: 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 large Vidalia onion, cut into small dice (2 cups) Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 pounds Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch pieces 2 teaspoons bourbon or rye 3 tablespoons light brown sugar 2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard 3 tablespoons chopped parsley For the turkey: Combine the apple cider, water, salt, brown sugar, peppercorns and bay leaves in a large stockpot over medium-high heat; stir until the salt and sugar dissolve. Bring to a boil, then remove

from the heat. Cool the brine completely, either in an ice-water bath or in the refrigerator.

If needed, transfer the cooled brine to a container or zip-top bag large enough to hold it and the turkey breast. Add the turkey, submerging it in the liquid.

Seal, and refrigerate for 6 to 10 hours.

Prepare the grill for direct and indirect heat.

Lightly coat the grill rack with oil and place it on the grill.

Remove the turkey from the brine, rinse it and pat dry. Discard the brine.

When the grill is ready, place the turkey on the grate (over the unlit area), positioning the breast so it sits up straight on the grill. Close the lid and cook, adjusting the controls or charcoal as needed to maintain a temperature of 375 degrees F. For even cooking, rotate the turkey breast once after 45 minutes.

After 60 minutes, start checking for doneness.

The breast should take 75 to 90 minutes. It is done when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 165 degrees F.; be sure to monitor both sides of the turkey. The skin might get quite dark, which can be deceptive. Transfer the breast to a platter to rest for 20 minutes.

While the turkey is cooking, make the jam: Heat the oil in a large nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Once it shimmers, add the onion and season with salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat to medium; cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring often, until the onion has softened.

Stir in the butter and apples; increase the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring, for about 6 minutes, until the apples start to soften. Add the bourbon or rye and the brown sugar; cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes, until the bourbon reduces and the sugar dissolves. Add the mustard, stirring to incorporate.

Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley.

Serve slices of the turkey with the apple-onion jam.

4 Crystal Lake resident writes healthy cookbook

By JAMI KUNZER

Autumn Drive

jkunzer@shawmedia.com As an intern at a raspberry farm in Woodstock, Beth Eileen Wilson discovered new recipes for the fruit.

Encouraged to write a blog for the farm, Grace Farm Studios, Wilson often shared her creations along with photographs of the finished products.

With the help of Grace Farm Studios Owner Ann Chaney, Wilson’s recipes have become the book, “Recipes from the Farm ... for Intentional Eaters.”

Most of the recipes are vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free.

Beth Eileen Wilson “I love photos of food, so that’s how I got inspired,” she said. “That’s kind of how it manifested into the blog and the book.

I started taking photos of the food I would make. I’ve always loved cooking because I’m a vegetarian. A lot of the food I eat I have to make.”

Among Wilson’s favorites in the new book are recipes for homemade macaroni and cheese using cashews

For information or to buy a copy of “Recipes from the Farm ... for Intentional Eaters,” visit www.gracefarmstudios. com. Copies of the book, as well as the author, Beth Eileen Wilson of Crystal Lake, will be at Grace Farm Studios, 2719 Franklinville Road, Woodstock, during the Autumn Drive.

The Autumn Drive takes place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 18-20 at 15 family farms in rural McHenry County starting at 16105 Garden Valley Road, Woodstock. For information, visit www. autumndrive.net.

and no actual cheese, a pizza with roasted jalapeño and cashews and a toasted butternut squash with pistachio pesto.

“Some of them are modifications of other recipes that I really like, and a lot of them I just kind of experienced and figured out what I liked,” said Wilson, 25.

“That’s the cool thing. A lot of these recipes are like classic recipes,” she said. “They’ve got unique twists to make them basically allergy free,

dairy free. They’re all really good.”

Along with field-testing the recipes, she wrote about sustainable farming practices and designed a series of eco-activities for children while at the farm. The farm also features a studio of decorative art created from the fibers of its icelandic sheep.

After her internship at the farm, Wilson lived in Sydney, Australia, for a few years while earning a master’s degree in biology.

She recently moved back to Crystal Lake. She now teaches yoga but hopes

to find a job in the field of environmental consulting.

Copies of her book, as well as Wilson herself, will be available during the upcoming Autumn Drive, which includes Grace Farm Studios at 2719 Franklinville Road, Woodstock.

The Autumn Drive will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 18-20 at 15 family farms in rural McHenry County starting at 16105 Garden Valley Road, Woodstock.

The book also can be bought through Grace Farm’s website at www.gracefarmstudios.com.

Cider Fest set at museum UNION – The 36th annual Cider Festival sponsored by the McHenry County Historical Society will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today at the museum, 6422 Main St., Union.

Art supplies line the workspace of SoyJoy Studios, a mixed media collages and flower arrangements company run by Sarah and Joyce Ogren out of their Crystal Lake home.

Fall Diddley WHAT: Fundraiser for the McHenry County Mental Health Resource League featuring 300 crafters WHEN: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 12; 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 13 WHERE: Boone County Fairgrounds, 8791 Route 76, Belvidere INFO: Parking is free. Admission is $6 for ages 12 and older. Information: www.mhrl.org or 815-385-5745.

For Sarah Ogren and other area artists and crafters, the Fall Diddley represents a chance to put their passion on display.

Like many artists, Ogren works from a basement studio, her creations overflowing on shelves and in corners.

“These are fun, a little different,” she said as she picked up a Halloween decoration of a standing skeleton dressed in lace and feathers she created with her mother, Joyce.

The two began SoJoy Studios from Joyce’s Crystal Lake home last year. For them and many who have turned their talents into businesses, the Fall Diddley Craft Show is the ultimate place to be.

In its 28th year, the event hosted as a fundraiser for the McHenry County Mental Health Resource League brings together more than 300 crafters from 13 different states.

The two-day fair will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sat-

urday, Oct. 12, and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 13, at Boone County Fairgrounds, 8791 Route 76, Belvidere.

Tickets cost $6 for those ages 12 and older.

It typically raises at least $200,000, money that helps at least 20 mental health agencies in McHenry County.

“With the state cutting funds, it has become much more needed,” said Sandra Howell, who has volunteered to help with the Mental Health Resource League for 30 years.

“It’s hard work for us,” she said of the Diddley, “and then we hear what the funds go for and how they impact people and it’s, ‘Oh my gosh, if we could just do more.’ ” Even funding the simplest things, such as a snow plowing service for an agency, helps so much, she said.

The Diddley is well-known among area artists and crafters as a way to display their works to large audiences.

McHenry artist a lifelong attendee who now shows at Fair Diddley • FALL DIDDLEY

Continued from page 5 Sarah Ogren, a multi-media artist, does collages and other “whimsical” art pieces, while her mother creates silk flower arrangements. The two often work on pieces together, finding supplies at thrift stores to create “altered art objects” for the home.

She describes the work as “storybook-like.”

“I want the viewer to feel inspired, hopeful, and to view the world in a more lighthearted manner,” she said. “I think art should be fun. I like things being fun and quirky and that make people smile.”

Originally a fine artist who often took her daughter along to craft shows growing up, Joyce Ogren took a break from her artwork for a while but got back into it to work with her daughter.

Along with art, the Did-

dley features food booths, photography, woodworking, clothing, jewelry, toys, pet items, doll clothes, stuffed animals, sculptures and numerous other creations, Howell said.

Angela Cammarata will display the “Illusion Glass & More” she creates from her McHenry home. She originally began creating jewelry and bought a kiln a couple of years ago to mold clay.

She soon began working with glass and since has created candle holders, vases, serving trays and Dichroic, or multi-layered, glass in which the colors shift depending on the angle of view.

“When I realized I could do glass, I fell in love with it,” she said.

“I’ve been going to the Fair Diddley my whole life, so when I started to do this and really get into it, that was one of the first shows I tried to get into,” she said.

Skeletons in family’s closet cause turmoil Dear Abby: I am the oldest of four children. I grew up in a family that looked perfect from the outside, but was far from it. My parents tried to shield us from most of the problems, but because I’m the oldest, I remember a lot.

My parents both had affairs. My siblings recently learned about the affair Dad had because Mom told them, but they have no idea about the one Mom had. Because of this, my brother hardly speaks to Dad. Mom was diagnosed with a mental disorder when I was a child. I remember her violent outbursts. I know Dad stayed only for us. We’re all adults now, and my parents are divorced.

My mother plays the victim, and my brother blames Dad for everything. It breaks my heart.

I have tried to convince Mom to stop trying to hurt Dad through my brother, but she won’t. I want my

family to be able to attend milestones without turmoil. I don’t know how to make this better. Please help. – Doesn’t

Want The Turmoil Dear Doesn’t: Making this better may take the help of a licensed professional and some family counseling – provided everyone is willing to cooperate. But don’t count on your mother.

She doesn’t appear to be interested in healing any breaches. I do think, however, that because you are all adults, your siblings should know the entire story about your parents’ infidelities – particularly your brother, so his relationship with Dad can be repaired.

Dear Abby: Our son recently told us he will be proposing to his girlfriend before Christmas. We’re happy for him, but concerned he’ll want to get married next year, which will be our 25th anniversary. We can’t afford to celebrate our 25th the way we want to and help with their expensive wed-

ding. We have been planning this for years, and we don’t want to sacrifice our celebration for their plans.

We think they should either postpone the wedding or pay for it themselves. We have always taken care of our son, but we feel 2014 is “our” time.

Are we wrong, and how can we tell him without feeling guilty? – Parents

Of The Future Groom Dear Parents: While you have always taken care of your son, he is an adult now and you should be able to communicate with him on an adult level.

Tell him how pleased you are that he and his girlfriend are planning to be married, but that you will be unable to contribute financially because you’re celebrating your 25th in 2014 and can’t afford to do both.

Not all couples marry soon after becoming engaged. Some wait a year or longer, and more and more couples pay for their own weddings these days,

so don’t feel guilty.

Dear Abby: I have been dating a man for the past three years who is very much my senior. His children also are much older than I am, and there is a mutual awkwardness when we interact. My boyfriend does the best he can to ease the situation, but it is painfully obvious they are uncomfortable with our relationship and my presence.

What can I do to show them I want to be viewed as family, too? – Unwelcome

In Ontario, Canada Dear Unwelcome: There is nothing you can do. But there is something your boyfriend can do. He can make it clear to his adult children that unless they make you feel more welcome than they have done, they will be seeing less of BOTH of you.

Clearing the air about medical marijuana in Illinois I have heard a lot of talk about marijuana and “legalization,” and it gets confusing. So here’s what my research has turned up. Marijuana is not legal in Illinois.

Penalties based on possession range from a misdemeanor for 2.5 grams (less than one-tenth of an ounce) to various levels of felony for possession of more than that. The laws also include penalties for sales and distribution with varying degrees of severity depending on amounts and to whom and where the weed is being sold

(for instance near a school).

To further confuse the legalization debate, as far as the federal government is concerned, cannabis is illegal across the board. However, individual states have enacted their own legislation. In a few states, small amounts of the drug are allowed for personal consumption, and in others, although still illegal, criminal penalties for small amounts have been removed and fines or treatment put in their place. In many places, including Illinois, individual municipalities have decided

to handle small possession events with non-criminal techniques such as court supervision, counseling or fines.

Illinois just passed a “medical marijuana“ law that will allow sufferers of 35 specific and fairly severe conditions (from cancer and HIV to severe fibromyalgia and crone’s disease) and who have an established relationship with their doctor to receive a prescription for up to 2.5 grams per two-week period. There will be about 60 dispensaries in Illinois – one

for each state police district and 22 “cultivation centers.”

The law goes into effect on Jan. 1, but according to most sources, the details won’t be worked out to fill prescriptions until summer.

Illinois has been both careful and conservative in its approach to marijuana laws, and although medical marijuana will be available, it won’t be a free-for-all like in some western states. In addition, although the trend is de-criminalization of the possession of smaller amounts of marijuana, that does not

translate to legalization.

So the long and the short of it, as I see it, is that cannabis is illegal in Illinois except under some fairly restrictive medical guidelines. In some municipalities, possession of small amounts (usually 2.5 grams or less) may be handled in a non-criminal fashion.

I hope this helps the parents out there who are living with “teenage marijuana lawyers.”

Paper is peeled away to reveal “negative” leaves in the print by Kristen Sutcliffe.

Gelatin prints fun for all ages

By JENNIFER FORKER The Associated Press One crafting idea that may amaze kids of all ages for its novelty and simplicity is gelatin printing.

This low-tech craft uses the following: a pan of gelatin such as the Knox brand, ink, paper, maybe an ink brayer and a collection of leaves. That’s it.

Kristen Sutcliffe, of Oberlin, Ohio, writes about gelatin printing at her blog, New House Project.

“I love that kind of project, where it’s easy, you can do it with your kids, but it’s beautiful,” she said.

Author of the new book “Fabric, Paper, Thread” (C&T Publishing), Sutcliffe, 30, said the gelatin provides

a flexible medium for inking, and both positive and negative prints can be made.

It works best with smaller leaves and those that are textured. Ferns and geraniums work well. Use any paper or try a fabric.

Sutcliffe has used canvas but recommends a smoother fabric such as muslin or cotton for a cleaner print.

She recommends using a screen-printing ink, such as Speedball, which works on paper or fabric. And she also suggests investing in a brayer, which will spread the ink uniformly without nicking the delicate gelatin surface.

If you’re careful, you can make a dozen or more prints with a single batch of gelatin, Sutcliffe said.

Gelatin Printing Gelatin, such as Knox brand, 8¼-ounce packets Water, 5 cups 9-by-13-inch baking sheet with edges Printmaking brayer

Printing ink, such as Speedball Screen Printing Ink (available at craft stores and online) Assorted leaves Paper or fabric Paper plate

The gelatin needs a few hours to set. It can be made the night before you want to print. In a large pot, bring 5 cups of water to boil, then whisk in gelatin, one packet at a time, avoiding clumps. Pour mixture onto baking sheet and allow to cool and set.

To print, pour small amount of ink onto the plate; use the brayer to fully cover the gelatin with ink (a thin layer for working with paper; a heavy amount for printing on fabric). Place leaves on the ink-covered gelatin. Place your paper or fabric on top; rub.

Remove the paper or fabric: This is your first print (the negative).

Carefully remove leaves from the baking sheet (save them for reuse, if desired) and place a new piece of paper or fabric over the ink and rub; remove. This provides the positive print (the leaves’ imprints remain in the gelatin until it’s re-inked).

Re-ink the gelatin to make additional positive and negative prints.

We recommend that you have your rings and other fine jewelry items checked at least twice a year. We will examine each item for lose, chipped, cracked & broken stones. Then we will check the thickness of the prongs and look for any wear or thinness on clasps and links. Precious metals are relatively soft and often wear thin over time. This is usually the main cause of lost stones or the entire piece.

After your jewelry is examined for wear, we will professionally clean and sanitize them. This will remove any lotions, cosmetics, food particles AND bacteria!

One of the things that I’ve realized over my lifetime as a jeweler is that people generally forget to clean their jewelry at home. We know for a fact that washing your hands does not remove or kill any bacteria that is hiding in the nooks and crannies of jewelry. Therefore we recommend that you clean your jewelry every day. This can easily be done using a small jar of jewelry cleaner that sits by your sink. If you place the items that you wear daily into the solution while you getting ready for work, it will be a simple way to keep your jewelry “healthy” and best of all shining like it’s brand new! I place a wash cloth over my drain as a precaution. It also acts as a soft surface in case you were to drop an item while rinsing.

If you really want to commit to better care for your fine jewelry on a regular basis, you can purchase a small ultrasonic cleaning machine along with a steam cleaner designed for home use. This investment is under $200 and will really pay off and is easy to use.

You are always welcome to have us take care of your cleanings anytime you would like to stop by. The fee for checking and cleaning is FREE. It’s a great way to protect your investment!

Mr. and Mrs. Polizzi CRYSTAL LAKE – Frank and Sandra Polizzi of Crystal Lake celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with special friends and their godson with dinner at the Twin Oaks Country Inn. Sandra Grabbert and Frank Polizzi

were married Sept. 7, 1965, in Lake Geneva, Wis. They lived in Pell Lake, Wis., for seven years and then settled in Crystal Lake.

Both retired after working many years for Oak Industries.

They also have five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Mixologist Talmadge Lowe is known for shaking and stirring some of Los Angeles’ most delicious cocktails in a secret network of inviteonly parties. Now he has some expert advice for grooms- and brides-to-be.

You can sip the cash bar. When you invite people to an event, they shouldn’t have to reach into their pockets for any reason. But that doesn’t mean you need to shell out for a full open bar. Instead, simply offer a more price-conscious selection. A lot of people make the mistake of serving just wine and beer, not realizing that thoughtfully chosen cocktails can be more economical, since you get 18 to 20 drinks per 750-milliliter bottle of hard liquor and only five for wine.

Charles “Chuck” and Peg Leahy

Some venues won’t allow you to purchase alcohol on your own or will charge a corkage fee to open each bottle. If you can buy it yourself, however, you’ll save cash and show your originality. Pick two clear liquors (gin, tequila or vodka), two brown liquors (bourbon or rye, scotch or dark rum), add two kinds of beer (one on the lighter side, like a pilsner or pale ale, and one on the fuller side, such as lager or Belgian-style ale), and round out the selection with at least one red and one white wine.

Do the math. In general, count on one drink per person per hour. If you have 100 people for six hours, that equals 600 drinks. Spread this out among all of your selections – a 1.75-liter bottle of liquor yields about 45

ELGIN – Announcement has been made of the engagement of Christina Thomsen and Thomas Aagesen, both of Elgin.

She is the daughter of Eric and Kathy Thomsen of Muscatine, Iowa.

He is the son of Jon G. and Laura Aagesen of Harvard, and Christian C. and Margaret M. Lee of St. Charles.

cocktails, and a bottle of wine, again, contains five glasses – then factor in your guests’ preferences. It’s always best to err on the side of too much and buy more than you think you’ll need.

Also, plan for one bartender per 50 guests.

Explore your payment options. Every bar service will have its own price structure. But you can tailor your selections to your vision and pay for consumption only. Why buy a complete bar package when none of your guests will drink gin or rum?

Know what’s included. You should expect (though it’s always best to confirm) that the bar provider will take care of staff, mixers, ice and cleanup. Many also have a physical bar to use if you need one and various glassware. If not, you’ll need to rent those items.

Set up a tasting. This will give you a chance to collaborate with the bartender and find drinks that you and your guests will enjoy.

It’s not all about booze. If there will be kids at your wedding – or friends who don’t imbibe – it’s essential to offer appealing nonalcoholic options.

Request that your bar service bring homemade flavored syrups and fresh juices so they can create custom beverages. Another fun alternative is a soda bar stocked with unusual artisanal pop from around the country.

It’s a small splurge that shows you’re thoughtful hosts.

In the early days of the Food Network, chefs taped shows in kitchens where sinks emptied into buckets that had to be carted out between takes. One chef’s original set had no oven, so he improvised by lowering the dish out of view, then stamping his foot to imitate the sound of an oven door shutting. A former stripper was the chief financial officer.

How things have changed. Today, the Food Network reaches 100 million homes. Its chefs are stars, and its shows are well-known brands: “Iron Chef America,” “Chopped,” “Restaurant: Impossible,” “30 Minute Meals.”

In “From Scratch: Inside the Food Network,” Allen Salkin guides readers through

the history of the network, from its start in the 1990s to today. Along the way, Salkin serves up plenty of stories that will surprise and entertain.

For example, one of the network’s first employees sent a cake with her résumé and was hired, even though the cake was made from a mix. The network’s 1996 election night coverage included a sheet cake depicting the United States, and states were frosted either red for Republicans or blue for Democrats as the returns came in. And an episode of the show “Too Hot Tamales” aired with an unplanned clip of pornography spliced in, leading to visits from the FBI. For Food Network addicts hungry to know more about the network, Salkin’s book will hit the spot.

MINI-REVIEWS & LOCAL SHOWTIMES OF CURRENT MOVIES ON SCREEN NOW

“Gravity” STARRING: Sandra Bullock, George Clooney, Ed Harris PLOT: A medical engineer and an astronaut work together to survive after an accident leaves them adrift in space RATED: PG-13 for intense perilous sequences, some disturbing images and brief strong language TIME: 1 hour, 30 minutes VERDICT: In an age when we’re able to consume content so many different ways – and that’s a good thing, mostly – let’s declare right now there’s only one truly correct way to experience “Gravity,” Alfonso Cuaron’s thrilling new space film. In a theater. On a huge screen. And in 3-D. Yes, even for all you 3-D naysayers – we hear you, but this is the movie you HAVE to see in 3-D. And please, no matter how many months or years pass, don’t watch this film on your little smartphone. If you’ve seen the heart-pounding trailer, you’ll know that Sandra Bullock and George Clooney play astronauts who experience a traumatic accident in space. You may also know about the extraordinary special effects used to create this weightless cinematic world – so extraordinary that many are calling the film a landmark of the sci-fi genre. But what you can’t know, until you’re in the theater, is just how much you’ll feel like you’re up there in space, feeling its vastness, perhaps even feeling cold. And how you might let yourself forget, momentarily, that this movie wasn’t shot on location.

And how you’ll ask yourself, how did they DO this? And how you’ll then forget the question, because you’ll be caught up once again in this 90-minute thrill ride.

Cuaron’s filmmaking prowess is no secret. His 2007 “Children of Men” was a masterful evocation of a bleak futuristic world where women can no longer conceive, and warring gangs struggle for control of the dying human race.

But while that film teemed with people, “Gravity” has but a few.

It aims to evoke the full terror of true solitude – indeed, Bullock is alone much of the time. And

LOCAL SHOWTIMES though it doesn’t take place on Earth, “Gravity” is in a way closer to our reality – not a futuristic world, but one that exists today, though you’d have to be on a space mission to get there. If you were, you’d want to be with Matt Kowalski (Clooney), the experienced mission commander, cocky and totally in charge. He jokes easily with Mission Control (voiced by Ed Harris, in a nice nod to “Apollo 13” and “The Right Stuff”) while spacewalking with a new jet pack, but when disaster strikes, he’s the guy you want nearby. Bullock is Ryan Stone, a medical engineer installing a new system on the Hubble telescope.

She’s on her first mission, and feeling rather queasy, when suddenly a massive field of debris comes hurtling by, sending Stone spiraling out of control. All this and more is established in a single, stunning, 13-minute opening shot. And Cuaron is just getting started. While we’ll reveal no more plot, it’s worth noting that the film’s one flaw stems from an effort to give Bullock’s character more of a backstory than necessary, perhaps an overly sentimental one. But overall, the actress finds that difficult balance between frailty and tenacity. And Bullock’s grounded presence – pun intended – is a huge plus here. The script is by Cuaron and his son, Jonas, but kudos are also due cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki and visual effects supervisor Tim Webber, for their seamless blend of live action, animation and CGI. As for the 3-D, never once does it feel anything less than totally integrated with the film’s purpose. As the credits roll, you may find yourself thinking about real space launches you’ve watched, or watching man walk on the moon, and remembering that feeling of awe at how man ever developed the technology to explore space in the first place. But save a bit of movie-lover’s awe, too, for Cuaron, who has many of us feeling closer to space than we’ve ever felt before. – The

“Prisoners” STARRING: Hugh Jackman, Jake

Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis and Melissa Leo PLOT: When Keller Dover’s daughter and her friend go missing, he takes matters into his own hands as the police pursue multiple leads and the pressure mounts. But just how far will this desperate father go to protect his family?

RATED: R disturbing violent content including torture, and language throughout TIME: 2 hours, 33 minutes VERDICT: Parenting involves countless mundane decisions – dozens a day. But as any parent knows, the potential for tragedy stemming from a wrong decision is never far from the surface of the mind. What if they go out and get hit by a car? What if I look away and they drown in the current? What if they get kidnapped? No wonder the movies get so much mileage out of missing-children tales.

But few – very few – handle it with the skill that director Denis Villeneuve and a terrific cast led by Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal bring to “Prisoners,” a suspense thriller that will stay with you long after the credits roll. Jackman, we all know, is not only talented but so darned likable that it’s hard for him to break out of that ever-charming persona. But here, in some of his best work to date, he manages it – and surpasses last year’s Oscar-nominated performance in “Les Miserables” – as a griefstricken, panicked father who succumbs to his basest impulses in a race to find his young daughter’s captors. And Gyllenhaal, in a less flashy but just as compelling performance, brings new depth to the well-worn role of brooding, driven detective. To the film’s credit, we don’t get much backstory on this character. A few small hints are all we need; the actor’s textured performance does the rest. In less talented hands, the story could lapse into the maudlin. But Villeneuve, director of the Oscar-nominated “Incendies,” seems to know just how far to go; only one moment feels less than authentic, but it would be a spoiler to mention it.

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:
