dailyGAZETTE Wednesday, November 27, 2013 Big Wednesday to help you plan for Black Friday Before you attack those Black Friday sales, be sure to look inside today’s Daily Gazette.

Our biggest weekday edition of the year, made extra plump with a special “early bird” section and holiday advertising inserts, will help you prepare for the retail blitz that will follow the turkey and cranberries.

Because of the large number of advertisements in today’s edition, our deadlines were early Tuesday. That kept us from including Tuesday night’s Lottery numbers and coverage of sports events. We’ll catch up on those in Friday’s edition.

No newspaper will be published Thanksgiving Day.

COUNTY POLITICS | 2014 ELECTION

Rival criticizes treasurer Candidates in Lee, Whiteside counties file paperwork

BY DAVID GIULIANI dgiuliani@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 525

Lee County Treasurer John Fritts has competition for the first time since the 1990s.

County Board member Wes Morrissey of Amboy filed this week as a Democrat for treasurer. Fritts, a Republican, has held the post for 19 years.

The Democratic and Republican primaries will be March

18, with the general election next November.

County candidates have until Monday to file.

“I like John, Wes but the job has passed him by,” Morrissey Morrissey said Tuesday. “He is not involved in the budget process.”

Morrissey, who took office as a board member last

December, proposes an investment plan for the county, which he said would increase the county’s John interest income Fritts from $3,000 a year to $37,000.

“I have been on the board for less than a year, and I found that out,” Morrissey said.

“That’s John’s job. He should

have been looking for that for the last 20 years.

“I showed him the plan. At first, he was a little confused.

After I explained it to him, he liked the idea. I think I can give the taxpayers a better return on their investment.”

Morrissey said the money still would be held in FDICinsured accounts, so his plan would involve “zero risk.”

‘THE GREAT TURKEY GIVEAWAY’

Former prosecutor disbarred Hogan responds: ‘I wish I were dead’

Each of the townships contributed $5,000 to the program. People had until earlier this month to apply for a Thanksgiving basket. Mary Bowman, Coloma Township’s cemetery manager, and a volunteer for the basket giveaway program, calls it the “Great Turkey Giveaway.”

MOUNT CARROLL – A former Carroll County prosecutor who admitted he had improperly touched a 17-yearold victim in a child pornography case has been disbarred.

The state Supreme Court filed the disbarHunter ment order Nov. Hogan 20 against Hunter Hogan, a former assistant state’s attorney. He can no longer practice the law.

Hogan, who revealed that fact on his Facebook page, said in response: “I wish I were dead.”

“The Illinois Supreme Court disbarred me because they adopted the report that says I raped [the girl],” Hogan wrote.

“It’s the ‘because’ that hurts the most.”

On his Hunter Thinks website, Hogan said he didn’t commit a crime or an ethical violation.

“Of course, because I am ashamed of my choices, I wish that all of these events had stayed private instead of being spread to the four corners of the Internet (and like the childhood game of telephone, much of that information is wrong),” Hogan wrote.

According to the state, Hogan pursued a personal relationship with a 19-year-old woman he had prosecuted as a defendant.

He also pursued a relationship with a 17-year-old victim in a child pornography case that he prosecuted on behalf of the state, public records say.

According to the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission, Hogan’s actions with the 17-year-old girl rose to the level of criminal conduct.

Fritts defended his office’s performance. “The interest rates are terrible right now,� he said. “That’s the way life is. I don’t care who you are; it’s impossible to make money right now.�

As for the county budget, he said the County Board’s finance chairman takes charge of that. “It’s the treasurer’s job to manage the money,�

Fritts said.

“With Tony Arduini not running again, that left an opening,� Karen Nelson said. “Some of us leaned on her.�

Whiteside County Sheriff Kelly Wilhelmi could go unopposed next year.

At this point, he is the only candidate who has filed for that office. In the 2010 race, Wilhelmi beat John Booker, who said recently he didn’t plan to be a candidate next year.

To fill help fill that gap in the Democrats’ ranks, Katherine Nelson has submitted her paperwork. She is the daughter of board member Karen Nelson, whose term will expire in 2016. The two women live across from each other on New High Street in Rock Falls.

Katherine Nelson, her mother said, has been involved in politics for a while.

PADS fundraiser could raise more than $8.5K D

IXON – It was about 20 degrees last Friday night, and there were people sleeping outside of the Dixon PADS Homeless Shelter. Not because they had to, but because they wanted to.

The One Night Without a Home event was organized by Vanessa White, the shelter’s board president, as a way to raise money for the shelter and raise awareness

about homelessness. It was the shelter’s first fundraiser, and when all

the proceeds are counted, could bring in more than $8,500, she said. “I would say, overall, it was highly successful, much better turnout and proceeds than I anticipated for our first year,� White said, adding that about 24 people spent the night. “A lot of people came through for the tours, so the public got a chance to see [the shelter].�

The people sleeping outside had a fire, which

was watched and tended all night, warm clothes and a bathroom. After the night, they were able to go home, White said, adding that some even went to sleep in their cars.

But for the nearly 19 residents in the shelter, nights like that, without warm clothes, bathroom or a car, are more than just a one-time affair.

One of the residents, White said, gave some tips on how to stay warm,

utilize body heat, and the best ways to sleep in a car. “It just kind of really touched me,â€? she said. “Here’s a kid that is 26 years old who has numerous times had to sleep outside. ‌ We only experienced a tenth of what they do.â€?

PADS will “definitely� have the fundraiser again next year, White said, and the shelter already is working on ideas for a spring fundraiser.

Several board members and local church members will be at the shelter for Thanksgiving. A local church has agreed to make the entire dinner and bring it to the shelter.

Black Hawk statue test results coming soon

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@shawnews.com Shaw News Service

OREGON – Findings from tests done this fall on the Black Hawk statue might be available next week.

Frank Rausa, of Sterling, who is spearheading an effort to repair the 102-year-old statue at Lowden State Park, said reports are expected the first week of December.

Structural engineer Aldo De La Haza said last week that the analysis was almost complete.

He and other experts examined the damage to the concrete statue in October. Testing included high-tech scanners, rotating lasers that created a 3-D model of the statue, ground-penetrating radar work, and ultrasonic tomography.

De La Haza said other engineers will further study the repairs needed to reverse the effects of time and weather and to protect the statue from further damage.

Created by sculptor Lorado Taft in 1911 as a tribute to all Native Americans and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the statue stands atop a 125foot bluff overlooking the Rock River. It draws thousands of visitors each year.

The statue has developed cracks, and large pieces of its concrete surface have dislodged.

The folded arms of the 50-foot monolith have been especially affected.

The cost for the assessment and repairs was estimated at $625,000.

Much of that money has been raised.

Rausa, a member of The Friends of the Black Hawk Statue Committee, said the price tag for the study and repairs is up to $700,00 and could go higher.

More than half the money raised for the project came from a $350,000 grant that the Illinois Department of Natural Resources received from the Illinois

Recently, the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League got on board with what Frank said was a sizable donation, but he declined to specify how much. “It was a good amount,�

Charron said. “And they gave us the amount when we really needed it. They put us over the top. The state wouldn’t let it get started until we got a certain amount. “The Blackhawks also told us they will help us again with the next phase, too, in the spring.�

Repair work is expected to begin as soon as the weather is warm enough next year.

Williams accused of stealing estate money

BY DAVID GIULIANI DGIULIANI SAUKVALLEY COM

EXT

DIXON – A Dixon attorney who pleaded guilty last year to stealing thousands of dollars from an elderly client is now facing theft charges in a new case.

Al Henry Williams, 65, was arrested Friday after a grand jury indicted him on two felony counts of theft.

According to the Dixon Police Department, the administrator for Arthur Elmer Black’s estate gave $6,591 to Williams to pay outstanding bills associated with Black’s funeral in late 2010.

But Williams didn’t pay the bills, Police Chief Danny Langloss

said.

As a result, Williams was accused of theft by deception and theft by unauthorized control over property, the chief said.

Al Henry Williams Black, 81, a retired blacksmith, died Aug. 13, 2010.

Williams was booked into the Lee County Jail on Friday. He posted a $25,000 bond for his release.

In July 2012, Williams pleaded guilty to financial exploitation of a disabled person and was sentenced to 6 months of conditional discharge and ordered to pay $15,992 in restitution to the estate of Dorothy Gaul, which he did immediately.

Gaul, then 97 and living in a nursing home, hired Williams

in August 2008 to handle her financial assets, which included her Dixon home and more than $113,000 in checking and savings accounts.

In August 2009, Gaul hired a new attorney to look into Williams’ handling of the funds. Several months later, Williams sent the attorney a check made out to Gaul for $61,383.

Williams had opened a joint checking account with Gaul to be used to pay her expenses.

He ended up depositing $92,800 into three bank accounts, then used the money for business or personal purposes.

Gaul died Feb. 1, 2010.

After pleading guilty, Williams agreed to let the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission remove him from the state’s roll of attorneys. He can no longer practice law.

GUANTANAMO BAY Pamela A. Grooms ROCK FALLS – Pamela A. Grooms, 58, of Rock Falls, died Monday, Nov. 25, 2013, at her home. Pam worked at CGH Medical Center in Sterling as a patient transporter for more than 20 years.

Born Aug. 25, 1955, in Sterling, she was a daughter of Billy Ray and Mary (Hollowell) Gaither. She was united in marriage to Rory Grooms on Sept. 8, 1984, in Sterling. Pam enjoyed her animals, especially dogs and horses, and driving her Ford Mustang. She loved spending time with her family and friends and being outdoors.

Survivors include her husband, Rory, of Rock Falls; a son, Eric Galvan, not of the area;

AFFORDABLE CARE ACT

Supreme Court will take up new health law dispute WASHINGTON (AP) – The Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to referee another dispute over President Barack Obama’s health care law: whether businesses may use religious objections to escape a requirement to cover birth control for employees.

The justices said they will take up an issue that has divided the lower courts in the face of roughly 40 lawsuits from for-profit companies asking to be spared from having to cover some or all forms of contraception.

Convenience...

The Obama administration promotes the law’s provision of a range of preventive care, free of charge, as a key benefit of the health care overhaul. Contraception is included in the package of cost-free benefits, which opponents say is an attack on the religious freedom of employers.

The court will consider two cases. One involves Hobby Lobby Inc., an Oklahoma City-based arts and crafts chain with 13,000 full-time employees. Hobby Lobby won in the lower courts.

Where the U.S. turned terrorists into double agents Penny Lane was Gitmo’s other secret CIA facility

BY ADAM GOLDMAN AND MATT APUZZO 4HE !SSOCIATED 0RESS

WASHINGTON – A few hundred yards from the administrative offices of the Guantanamo Bay prison, hidden behind a ridge covered in thick scrub and cactus, sits a closely held secret.

A dirt road winds its way to a clearing where eight small cottages sit in two rows of four. They have long been abandoned.

The special detachment of Marines that once provided security is gone.

But in the early years after 9/11, these cottages were part of a covert CIA program. Its secrecy has outlasted black prisons, waterboarding and rendition.

In these buildings, CIA officers turned terrorists into double agents and sent them home.

It was a risky gamble.

If it worked, their agents might help the CIA find terrorist leaders to kill with drones. But officials knew there was a chance that some prisoners might quickly spurn their deal and kill Americans.

For the CIA, that was an acceptable risk in a dangerous business. For the American public, which was never told, it was one of the many secret trade-offs the government made on its behalf. At the same time the government used the threat of terrorism to justify imprisoning people indefinitely, it was releasing dangerous people from prison to work for the CIA. Nearly a dozen current and former U.S officials described aspects of the program to The Associated Press. All spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the secret program, even though it ended in about 2006.

The program and the handful of men who passed through these cottages had various offi-

In the early years after 9/11, the CIA turned a handful of prisoners at the secret facility into double agents and released them. Current and former U.S. officials tell The Associated Press that the program helped kill terrorists. cial CIA codenames. But those who were aware of the cluster of cottages knew it best by its sobriquet: Penny Lane.

It was a nod to the classic Beatles song and a riff on the CIA’s other secret facility at Guantanamo Bay, a prison known as Strawberry Fields.

Some of the men who passed through Penny Lane helped the CIA find and kill many top al-Qaida operatives, current and former U.S. officials said. Others stopped providing useful information and the CIA lost touch with them.

When prisoners began streaming into the prison on the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in January 2002, the CIA recognized it as an unprecedented opportunity to identify sources. That year, 632 detainees arrived at the island. The following year 117 more arrived. “Of course that would be an objective,� said Emile Nakhleh, a former top CIA analyst who spent time in 2002 assessing detainees but who did not discuss Penny Lane. “It’s the job of intelligence to recruit sources.�

By early 2003, Penny Lane was open for business.

Candidates were ush-

ered from the confines of prison to Penny Lane’s relative hominess, officials said. The cottages had private kitchens, showers and televisions.

Each had a small patio.

Some prisoners asked for and received pornography. One official said the biggest luxury in each cottage was the bed, not a militaryissued cot but a real bed with a mattress.

The cottages were designed to feel more like hotel rooms than prison cells, and some CIA officials jokingly referred to them collectively as the Marriott.

Current and former officials said dozens of prisoners were evaluated but only a handful, from varying countries, were turned into spies who signed agreements to spy for the CIA. Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., who serves on the Armed Services and Homeland Security oversight committees, said Tuesday that she was still learning more about the program but was concerned about the numbers of prisoners who were released by the Bush and Obama administrations and returned to fight with terrorists against U.S. interests.

WINTER IS HERE!

“So, when I juxtapose that to the CIA actually thinking that they can convert these people, I think it was very ill-conceived program for them to think that,� Ayotte said on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports. “These are some very hard-core individuals and many whom have been released by both administrations have gotten back in to fight us and our allies, unfortunately.�

Appearing on the program with Ayotte, Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., said it was difficult for him to evaluate the CIA program’s effectiveness. “But it has a degree of recklessness to it that I would be very concerned about,� Casey said.

The U.S. government says it has confirmed about 16 percent of former Guantanamo Bay detainees rejoin the fight against America. Officials suspect but have not confirmed that another 12 percent rejoined.

Though the number of double agents recruited through Penny Lane was small, the program was significant enough to draw keen attention from President George W. Bush, one former official said. Bush personally interviewed a junior CIA case officer who had just returned home from Afghanistan, where the agency typically met with the agents.

President Barack Obama took an interest the program for a different reason. Shortly after taking office, he ordered a review of the former detainees working as double agents because they were providing information used in Predator drone strikes, one of the officials said.

HOLIDAY TRAVEL

Shay Owens kisses her boyfriend, Bryan Jordan, before boarding a Megabus for a trip to Atlanta on Tuesday in Chicago.

Bus might be the ticket for the holidays Oft-ridiculed mode of travel suddenly hip

erational and technological shifts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Young people have no great psychological connection with the car,â&#x20AC;? said transportation trends researcher Joseph Schwieterman of DePaul University in Chicago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just want to get from Point A to Point B, and being able to use their electronic device on the way is a bonus.â&#x20AC;?

Many new bus carriers offer free Wi-Fi and have electrical outlets at each seat. Megabus.com has slapped GPS tracking devices on its fleet of 300 double-decker buses, allowing travelers and the people waiting for them on the other end to track the trip in real time with a smartphone app. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those kinds of things we feel really matter,â&#x20AC;? said Mike Alvich, Megabus. comâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vice president for marketing. Such innovations along with the prices, he said, are why Megabus.com has enjoyed so much success pulling people out of their cars.

The company says 30 percent of its customers are people who otherwise would have taken a car for the same trip.

In another technological leap, new companies such as Wanderu have emerged to become the Expedia or Travelocity of buses, offering dealseekers the chance to compare prices.

The industry is using a demand-driven pricing model common to airlines and hotels but with a much lower starting point: as little as $1.

CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; As millions of Americans hurtle through the jumble of transportation arteries for Thanksgiving, many are discovering that bus travel may be the cheapest, comfiest and even coolest way to stay Zen during the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest annual migration.

After nearly a half-century of decline in the bus industry, a new breed of sleek, WiFi-pumping, intercity coach is transforming the image of buses as the much-ridiculed travel option of last resort.

With free Internet connections, tickets as cheap as $1 and decent legroom, companies such as Megabus.com and BoltBus are luring holiday travelers disenchanted with the hair-pulling rituals of airports and driving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing it for a couple of years, and it is a nice ride,â&#x20AC;? said theater student Natalie Sienicki, 22, sitting inside a blue double-decker Megabus idling on a windy, snowy street corner near the grand colonnades of Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Union Station.

Her journey Monday was not only cheaper than flying ($56 roundtrip), but also took her all the way to her destination in Ann Arbor, Mich. Via air, Sienicki would have made a side trip through Detroit.

In early 2010, after the girl turned 17 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by Hoganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own admission â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he kissed her and touched her breasts, according to public records. In Illinois, the age of consent for sexual contact is 17, although an adult with authority over a 17-year-old is barred by law from having such relations.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear whether law enforcement authorities have investigated Hogan, who is in his late 30s.

The secretary for Carroll County Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorney Scott Brinkmeier, who was Hoganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boss, said Tuesday that he had no comment.

Carroll Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online court records show no criminal charges against Hogan.

In June, the victim, now 20, sought an order of protection against Hogan in Whiteside County Court, according to court documents. But in an interview with Sauk Valley Media over the summer, the woman said she never sought that order. She said she knew who did, but wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t identify that person.

Hogan and the woman lived together for a time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hunter packed up and went on a road trip,â&#x20AC;? she said in the interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s having a midlife crisis. We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t parted ways. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all good.â&#x20AC;?

In 2009, Hogan, a Houston native, developed a close relationship with the girl and her family.

The defendantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney thought Hogan was so close that he questioned the prosecutorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impartiality.

In response, Hogan asked his boss, Brinkmeier, to take him off the case. Brinkmeier handled it after that. Hogan later improperly touched the girl.

In early 2010, Brinkmeier found out about the accusations that Hogan was making advances toward the 19-year-old defendant.

He told Hogan he must resign or be fired. Hogan, who had worked in the office since 2008, decided to quit.

'O .EWMAN We congratulate the Newman Comets for advancing to the Class 2A state football championship game against Staunton.

This year, that title game, and all others, will be played only about 50 miles down the tollway.

For the first time, state championship football games will be played in DeKalb at Northern Illinois Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Huskie Stadium.

With a capacity to hold 24,000 football fans, the venue should be able to hold all comers.

Games will begin at 10 a.m. Friday (Class 1A), and 1, 4 and 7 p.m. (classes 2A, 3A and 4A, respectively).

Larger schools (5A-8A) will play Saturday on the same time schedule.

NIU will not host another flight of IHSA championship football games until 2015, and on odd-numbered years through 2021. The University of Illinois in Champaign will host the title games on evennumbered years.

Along with advertisements printed on the regular 44 pages of the paper, additional ads appear in a pre-printed format â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about two dozen in all.

By poring over those ads, people can make better decisions on how to spend their money.

Gallup did a survey this past summer. It asked people how much confidence they had in various institutions.

According to the survey, 36 percent said they trusted the presidency a great deal or quite a bit, compared with 22 percent who expressed confidence in big business, 20 who believed in organized labor, and 10 percent who trusted Congress.

Small business, on the other hand, came in second with 65 percent of those surveyed saying it was trustworthy. The military, not surprisingly, was No. 1.

While politicians have squabbled and Wall Street businesses have slashed jobs, Main Street has endured.

Some small-business owners, instead of laying people off, have cut their own salaries to keep their full complement of employees. Others have dipped into savings or taken out second mortgages to keep their doors open or to avoid cutting back employee hours.

These are no small feats, but they largely go without acknowledgement or recognition. So, when an opportunity to thank these men and women for their daily sacrifices arises, we should take it.

We find such an opportunity on Small Business Saturday.

THE CAMPAIGN to â&#x20AC;&#x153;shop smallâ&#x20AC;? on the Saturday after Thanksgiving started in 2010 as little more than an effort to give small businesses â&#x20AC;&#x201C; many struggling to get out of the red after a long recession â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a much-needed shot in the arm.

Since then, Small Business Saturday has become a powerful movement to give back to the brick-andmortar establishments that line our Main Streets

and keep our communities vibrant.

The concept is simple: Instead of sitting at home and ordering online or â&#x20AC;&#x153;one-stop-shoppingâ&#x20AC;? at the nearest â&#x20AC;&#x153;big-boxâ&#x20AC;? store, make Main Street ground zero for your holiday shopping. Many local businesses around the county will be offering special deals and discounts throughout the day to encourage shoppers and to commemorate the day, so the incentive to â&#x20AC;&#x153;shop smallâ&#x20AC;? is all the greater.

ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STRANGE to think that doing something so modest can have such a big impact, but research on last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event showed that consumers who were aware of Small Business SaturKim Clarke day spent a Maisch total of $5.5 â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest billion with incentive to shop small is independent that you are merchants making your that day. community The biggest stronger.â&#x20AC;? incentive to shop small is that you are making your community stronger. You are helping to keep the people in your town or city employed so that they can support their families.

Most important, you are demonstrating the value that you place on the small-business people who, by providing you and your community with unparalleled products and services, work hard to keep your trust each and every day.

During times like these, we could all benefit from boost in our faith â&#x20AC;&#x201C; faith in the future, faith in our country, faith in our economy. Show your faith in America by starting your holiday season in a small business, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;shop smallâ&#x20AC;? on Small Business Saturday.

Note to readers: Kim Clarke Maisch is the Illinois state director of the National Federation of Independent Business, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading smallbusiness association.

THANKSGIVING PATROLS

Trooper honored by aggressive patrols Vamped efforts to continue through New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day

Philip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com

Republican candidate for Illinois governor Bruce Rauner, shown speaking with the Sauk Valley Media Editorial Board in April, has contributed $1.25 million of his own money to his campaign.

Rauner invests in himself Contribution of $1.25M to own campaign not unique SPRINGFIELD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Republican candidate for Illinois governor who reported income of $53 million last year has contributed more than $1 million to his own campaign.

But an analysis Tuesday of recent elections shows deep pockets are far from an assurance of electoral success.

Winnetka venture capitalist Bruce Rauner has written himself checks totaling $1.25 million to fuel his race against four established Republicans in their bid to take on Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn next November.

One opponent said being true to conservative tenets will win it for him, while another called Rauner a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Republican in Money Only.â&#x20AC;?

Trying to stay ahead of what will likely be repeated attacks on him as an out-of-touch elitist, Rauner took the unusual step Monday of releasing his income tax returns for the past 3 years.

A required economic interest statement he filed shows ownership in three professional sports teams: the Chicago Bulls,

Pittsburgh Steelers and Boston Red Sox. Raunerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-funding had the effect of lifting the cap for all primary candidates on the amount of money they may raise.

But flush bank accounts have done little for other would-be officeholders in the past decade, according to Kent Redfield, professor emeritus at the University of Illinois at Springfield.

For example, Redfield said, 60 percent of the $8.1 million that then-Lt. Gov. Corinne Wood raised in her bid for the GOP nomination for governor came from personal loans. And she lost to Attorney General Jim Ryan, who raised $5.4 million.

Chicago businessman Ronald Gidwitz raised $12.2 million in 2006, about half from himself or family. But he lost to the better-known Judy Baar Topinka, then-state treasurer with a long tenure in Springfield. She raised $3.5 million in the primary but was overwhelmed that fall by incumbent Gov. Rod Blagojevichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraising juggernaut.

Blagojevich, now serving a fed-

eral prison sentence for corruption, had raised $10.6 million in the primary against a littleknown challenger.

Raunerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign makes no secret of his desire to spend money to find a wider audience for his themes of spending control, job- reation and term limits.

One opponent, state Sen. Kirk Dillard of Hinsdale, called Rauner a RIMO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Republican in Money Onlyâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; because of his business association and friendship with Democratic Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions to Emanuelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s predecessor, Democrat Richard M. Daley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Illinoisans want to see what you really are and not putting on a face and having an $18 watch or dressing down to appear youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in touch with the middle class,â&#x20AC;? Dillard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has nothing in common with Illinoisans who are scraping to make the rent or pay the mortgage.â&#x20AC;?

In TV ads, Rauner dresses casually while expressing his preference for a discount watch.

SPRINGFIELD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Illinois State Police launched an aggressive Thanksgiving holiday enforcement effort on the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roadways Tuesday called Operation Kyle, in honor of a state trooper who was killed a year ago conducting a traffic stop.

State police said Tuesday they began â&#x20AC;&#x153;aggressively patrolling Illinois roadwaysâ&#x20AC;? for 24 hours to honor the anniversary of Trooper Kyle Deatherageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death on Nov. 26, 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His life was tragically taken from his family and police family 2 days before Thanksgiving, and Operation Kyle will be a strong reminder to the motoring public that safe driving saves lives,â&#x20AC;? Illinois State Police director Hiram Grau said in

a written statement.

Increased efforts wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just be for a day, although troopers expect high traffic volumes Thursday.

State police said troopers will implement periodic saturation patrols through New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, focusing on speeding, seat belts, drunken driving and distracted driving. State police efforts will be coordinated with the Illinois Department of Transportation, local police and sheriffs.

Officials also reminded motorists that fines have increased to $120 for texting while driving.

Deatherage died when the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tractor-trailer struck him on Interstate 55 near Litchfield in central Illinois about 45 miles south of Springfield. A Georgia truck driver has been charged in Deatherageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death.

Deatherage, 32, was a married father of two children and had been a trooper since May 2009.

WASHINGTON

Sen. Kirk to meet mayor, talk disaster declaration Gifford children back in school for first time since Nov. 17 tordadoes WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk is set to view the clean-up efforts in tornado-ravaged Washington as community leaders push to get federal aid for the recovery effort after two dozen tornadoes whirled across Illinois.

The Nov. 17 storms, which destroyed or damaged about 2,400 home, were blamed for six deaths.

The central Illinois com-

munity of Washington was hardest hit. Kirk is expected to meet with Mayor Gary Manier to discuss efforts to get a federal disaster declaration for 15 counties.

Meanwhile in Gifford, elementary children returned to classrooms for the first time Monday since twisters hammered the region.

The Champaign NewsGazette reports a boil order in the small village will likely remain place for months, and the village hall has been condemned.

Gifford has about 1,000 residents.

Woman who left abusive ex struggles with ties Dear Abby: I was married to a man who ruled my every move. After years of torture and abuse, I finally became frightened enough to leave. Since then I have met a wonderful, caring, loving man who I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trade for the world. He treats me with kindness, respect and love. He makes me laugh and smile and appreciate life. I am allowed to be myself and function how I will. I am happier than I have ever been.

My question is, sometimes I miss my emotionally and physically abusive ex. I have no desire to BE with him, but after all those years, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to adjust some days.

Is something wrong with me? I would never leave my current relationship

we tend to gloss over unpleasantness. Your ex may not have been brutal and controlling all the time, and you are remembering the happier times.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that what you are missing has much to do with HIM. What you may be missing is the adrenaline rush you got from the drama.

dearABBY Abigail Van Burenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Jeanne Phillips) column appears during the week through Universal Press Syndicate.

Time has advances were persistent a way of dulling emoand almost demanding. tional pain, and with time For the first time, I felt a

little threatened.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to cause trouble for him, his job and certainly not his family. But what do I do? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to think he has gotten the message, but what if it continues? I like the guy; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just not interested anymore. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Want Trouble Dear Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Want Trouble: It appears â&#x20AC;&#x153;Romeoâ&#x20AC;? hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite gotten the message, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to make EXPLICIT your wishes in this matter. If he continues to persist, then you will have to report it to human resources.

Dear Abby: I have a great husband who has only one quirk. He often forgets to zip his fly. At home, who cares? But it happens in public too often and cre-

ates an uncomfortable scene when my friends are around.

Should I be hard on him, or just sympathize and keep my mouth shut? And what should I do when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only one who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Just Zip It

Take Banquet to next level Leftovers help restore pot pieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place in comfort food pantheon

MCT News Service photos

Your average college student, often relegated to microwave cooking, likely wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand the delicious, comforting dish a pot pie can be. When done right, its crust is both flaky and flexible. And the filling can be customized to your heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s content. Think Thanksgiving leftovers, for instance.

N

BY KIM ODE MCT News Service

ow is when the menu changes.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when pasta with fresh tomatoes and basil retires to also-ran status, when the prospect of gravy makes our mouth water.

Foods of fall and winter are all about comfort, about settling in, about spending a bit more time in the kitchen because the tennis nets at the park have been packed up for the season.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for pot pie.

Time, that is, for really good pot pie â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which some people have never experienced, if their experience is limited to most grocery freezer cases. Sure, college lore of the 19-cent pot pie upended into a pot of rice retains a certain nostalgia, and surely helped shift funds to the beer budget.

Convenience is a contemporary argument, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tipping point between saving time and

sitting down to a decent meal.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tipped in favor of making homemade pot pie, with a crust thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s both flaky and flexible, and a filling that you can customize to your heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s content as long as you honor the final proportions.

Turkey is our protein of choice, because such leftovers are on the horizon. But with half-breasts more available, you can roast just enough turkey within an hour to make six pies. Swap in chicken, or go vegetarian with more of the pot-pie trinity: potatoes, carrots and peas. Experiment with other vegetables, such as turnips, rutabaga, pearl onions, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, corn or peppers.

We favor the classic trio, but add a twist and some texture with some crumbled bacon.

We wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lie â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pot pies from start to finish take a little time.

The pastry comes together quickly, but must rest in the refrigerator for an hour. The vegetables need to be par-

cooked for a few minutes to make sure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll cook through in the oven. The gravy is best when you give the onions at least 15 minutes to melt into savory goodness.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tempted to skip the egg glaze, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. It lends the pastry a luscious golden crackle, but also is oddly affirming. Taking the time to paint the whole surface of the pastry with care, instead of a slapdash splash across the top, is what cooking with love is all about.

Since youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come this far, cut a few leaf shapes from the dough scraps to make your pies even more appetizing. Painting the leaves with a bit of paprika-tinted egg yolk takes about as long as reading this story, and guarantees an â&#x20AC;&#x153;ooh-ahhâ&#x20AC;? reaction at the table that makes every minute worthwhile.

And this is before your diners Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just serve that bird alongside the trimmings the way have even taken a bite! you did on Thanksgiving. The turkey is a key ingredient in the filling that can lead to a pot pie renaissance.

Bevâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crust

I

was speaking with a friend this week who told me that she asked her kids, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is the one dish you could not do without for Thanksgiving?â&#x20AC;?

After hearing each of their answers, she then assigned them the responsibility for preparing that dish for the big meal this year.

That made me think about how important it is to be able to cook for yourself.

Many people do not cook these days, beyond heating up a frozen dinner or a can of soup.

With the abundance of fast food and convenience foods available, you might ask â&#x20AC;&#x153;why botherâ&#x20AC;? starting from scratch with fresh ingredients? Here are just a few reasons to do so.

Your health Many processed, prepackaged, and convenience foods contain ingredients that can be harmful to your health.

One example is trans fats, which are in the news. Other examples include artificial dyes and preservatives. Also prevalent are added sugar and salt that can be present under many different names.

Q&A WITH BUTTERBALL CEO ROD BRENNEMAN

Turkey king casts tradition into fryer CEO eats turkey â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;every day;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; hotline now employing men NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Turkey isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just for Thanksgiving, says Butterball CEO Rod Brenneman.

Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turkey sausage for breakfast, turkey medallions on salad for lunch, or roast turkey and gravy for dinner, Brenneman says he eats the bird at least once every day.

His meal choices were among the personal glimpses he shared during an interview with The Associated Press.

Brenneman also dished about how Butterball handles its busiest time of year. The company, based in Garner, N.C., estimates that it makes one out of every five turkeys eaten on Thanksgiving.

This year, Butterball ran into a shortage of large, fresh turkeys.

Brenneman says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first time the company had trouble fattening up its birds in time for the holidays. He says the cause is unknown but is being investigated.

In the meantime, Butterball is welcoming another first: Its famous Turkey Talk Line at 1-800-BUTTERBALL now will employ men. The toll-free line has been a resource for cooks with questions about preparing their holiday feasts since 1981. On Thanksgiving alone, Butterball says the line fields more than 12,000 calls.

Here are excerpts from the interview with Butterballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brenneman: Q: Where did the name Butterball come from?

And how do you feel about the term being used to describe chubby people?

A: Many people think Butterball turkeys have butter in them, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Basically the name came about because of their plump size and golden color. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re proud of the Butterball name. There is no talk or joke about being a butterball at this company.

Only about our turkeys.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re plump.

Q: Do you produce whole turkeys yearround or just as you get closer to Thanksgiving?

A: Ten months out of the year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re producing whole turkeys and freezing them. Those are the frozen birds that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re buying (for Thanksgiving). For October and November, we shift into what we call fresh season. Those birds are all fresh.

Q: So the turkey I buy couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been frozen a long time ago?

A: Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re frozen throughout the year. It couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a month ago. It couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been 3 or 4 months ago. Either way, once theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re frozen, they maintain their quality and shelf life.

Q: What are some of the most common questions you get on the Turkey Talk line?

A: â&#x20AC;&#x153;How long does it take to thaw a turkey?â&#x20AC;?

Q: What are some of the more unusual questions youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had?

A: We had a time when the people had left their turkey outside all night.

I guess it was really cold and it had snowed. They called and they wanted to know how to locate their turkey in the snow.

Q: Why did you decide to have men field calls?

AP

Butterball Turkey CEO Rod Brenneman poses in front of a sign at a Turkey Talk Line facility Nov. 22 in Naperville.

He sat down to discuss, among many other things, how the company handles its busiest time of the year.

A: One in four calls we get at the Turkey Talk Line are men, believe it or not. We stepped back and looked at the changing Thanksgiving table, and men are becoming more and more a part of not only the carving of the turkey, but the cooking of the turkey.

Q: Do they have to go through any training?

A: Every single person who works on the Turkey Talk Line goes through Butterball University.

They are trained from A-to-Z on turkey and turkey-related items. I think it lasts for 1 week each year.

Q: Do you do the cooking on Thanksgiving, and if so, have any tips?

A: Getting the turkey prepared and in the oven is usually my job, and then carving it. If anyone

has any questions at all, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say call 1-800-Butterball. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actually used it myself. For example, last year I was up in the mountain and I called to

see if I needed to cook it differently at that altitude. Believe or not, the lady knew the answer right off the top of her head. Since I was below a

CHOOSE GAFFEY FOR HOME CARE

certain altitude, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to change anything about it.

Q: Did you tell her you were the CEO? A: I did not.

NEWS ANALYSIS | IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL

In this Sept. 21, 2012 file photo, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard troops march during a military parade commemorating the start of the Iraq-Iran war 32 years ago, in front of the mausoleum of the late revolutionary leader Ayatollah Khomeini, just outside Tehran, Iran.

BY BRIAN MURPHY !SSOCIATED 0RESS 7RITER

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Even before Iran’s envoys could pack their bags in Geneva after wrapping up a first-step nuclear deal with world powers, President Hassan Rouhani was opening a potentially tougher diplomatic front: selling the give-and-take to his country’s powerful insider interests, led by the Revolutionary Guard.

Iran’s ability to fulfill its part of the 6-month bargain – which includes greater access for U.N. inspectors and a cap on the level of uranium enrichment – will depend largely on the Guard and its network.

The Guard’s influence stretches from the missile batteries outside key nuclear facilities to the production of the equipment inside. It runs from companies making Iran’s long-range missiles to paramilitary units that cover every inch of the country.

Rouhani’s praise for the deal announced Sunday has sounded at times like snippets from the national anthem.

“The Iranian nation again displayed dignity and grandeur,” he said in a televised address. He went on to laud the “glorious” affirmation that Iran can continue uranium enrichment under the accord – at levels that can power Iran’s lone energy-producing reactor, but well below what’s needed to approach weapons-grade material.

Rouhani ended the speech by trying to give the country’s nuclear efforts a sense of homespun honor. Borrowing from the political theater

playbook of his predecessor, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, he surrounded himself with relatives of Iranian nuclear scientists killed in ambush-style attacks blamed by Iran on Israel and its allies.

But Rouhani is also appealing to the more practical interests of the Guard, whose clout translates into cash. The Guard has a hand in some of the biggest money-generating enterprises in Iran, including import-export gatekeepers and real estate holdings. Its leaders likely recognize that easing Western sanctions will help their bottom line.

What may be a harder point of persuasion is beyond the accord. The Revolutionary Guard must be comfortable that the deal isn’t a prelude to broader diplomatic overtures with Washington that could undermine its standing and reach, which include aiding Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces.

A veteran commentator on Iranian affairs, Ehsan Ahrari, said the “schizophrenic nature” of Iran’s domestic leadership – one side extolling the accord and the other side wary – stands as the biggest wild card in the Geneva deal.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the ultimate authority, has the final word in all key matters and, for the moment, sides with Rouhani on the nuclear talks and the parallel outreach to the U.S. after more than 3 decades of diplomatic estrangement. The nuclear deal also appears to have widespread public support as a change to ease Iran’s international

isolation and perhaps open the way for serious rollbacks on sanctions if the initial 6-month phase moves ahead as planned.

“It’s a strong victory for the policies of moderation in Iran,” said Sadeq Zibakalam, a prominent Tehran-based political analyst. “It will boost moderates.”

But there are other power centers that can shape policy. The Revolutionary Guard is the godfather of them all. Its commanders can open doors at the highest levels and help mold the views of even Khamenei.

Earlier this month, groups with the apparent backing of the Guard erected giant banners around Tehran – done in slick, ad agency style – deriding the nuclear talks as a potential trap for Iran. American negotiators were portrayed as double dealers, wearing a tie and jacket on top and military camouflage trousers below. The banners also sent a secondary message to Khamenei, who had taken the unprecedented step of advising the Revolutionary Guard to stay out of Iran’s international initiatives with the West.

The most senior Guard commanders have remained quiet in public since the Geneva deal.

But one general, Mohsen Kazemeini, was quoted by the semiofficial ISNA news agency as calling the agreement with world powers a “matter of happiness” since Iran can retain its uranium enrichment. The general’s comment suggests that the Guard could be on board for at least the first 6-month leg.

in the broader context of how to reinvigorate the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evangelical zeal in a world marked by indifference, secularization and vast income inequalities.

He explained his most controversial remarks criticizing the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;obsessionâ&#x20AC;? with transmitting

a disjointed set of moral doctrines, saying that in the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;hierarchy of truths,â&#x20AC;? mercy is paramount, proportion is necessary, and what counts is inviting in the faithful.

He went even further Tuesday, saying some of the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historical customs can even be cast

aside if they no longer serve to communicate the faith. Citing St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, Francis stressed the need for moderation in norms â&#x20AC;&#x153;so as to not burden the lives of the faithful.â&#x20AC;?

At the same time, Francis restated the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opposition to abortion,

Dillan Heffelfinger (left), Brady Rude, Jake Snow and Mac Olson have jelled into one of the most productive backfields in the state this season for Newman. The Comets will play Staunton on Friday in the 2A state championship game in DeKalb.

FOUR BY FOUR

Cometsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ground game in good hands with this quartet

BY TY REYNOLDS TREYNOLDS SAUKVALLEY COM

EXT

2A State championship Newman (12-1) vs. Staunton (9-4) When: P M &RIDAY Where: (USKIE 3TADIUM $E+ALB Radio: !- &Twitter: $AN 7OESSNER $AN7OESSNER) More: 36- WILL HAVE MORE PREVIEW COVERAGE ON &RIDAY

To watch Mac Olson play fullback, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been there all his life â&#x20AC;Ś or at least his entire senior season. The 5-foot10, 205-pound back runs and blocks with such gusto and confidence that he sure doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only been in the starting lineup the past 3 weeks.

But the academic all-stater is the epitome of what life is like in the Newman Cometsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; system. Lose a starter in a first-round playoff win? No sweat, just plug in the next guy.

Since taking over the fullback spot when 5-8, 170-pound sophomore Brady Rude got dinged up against Fieldcrest, Olson has done nothing more â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or less â&#x20AC;&#x201C; than solidify

his spot in the starting lineup, leaving Rude free to focus on flying all over the field as a linebacker while spelling his fellow backs from time to time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It shows how deep we are, and how many guys we have who can play at a high level,â&#x20AC;? Olson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The second-stringers are just as good as the starters ... and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier to do behind our line. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the big reason why we can all run the ball so well.â&#x20AC;?

Junior Dillan Heffelfinger summed it up perfectly. The 5-10, 185-pound wingback coined a phrase â&#x20AC;&#x201C; albeit unwittingly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; during the Cometsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; unofficial informal state finals media junket Monday afternoon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel all of our guys are Newman-worthy backs,â&#x20AC;? Heffelfinger said.

FOUR CONTINUED ON B2

T. LOUIS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Devin Hester almost certainly would have cried.

The greatest kick returner in NFL history would have thanked his Bears teammates for delivering the blocks that freed him.

He would have thanked his coaches for drawing up the play. He would have thanked his family for being his rock.

Instead, Hester sighed.

He fell to the ground, absorbing the gut punch of despair. When he stood, he lowered his eyes and covered his head in his hands.

Near the line of scrimmage rested a yellow flag.

Teammate Craig Steltz was called for a foolish holding penalty away from the play, thereby nullifying Hesterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recordsetting 62-yard punt return for a touchdown Sunday against the St. Louis Rams.

History would have to wait. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like winning a prize,â&#x20AC;? Hester said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and then getting it taken back from you.â&#x20AC;?

And, man, what a prize to almost win.

To some, the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alltime return touchdown record might come across as little more than football trivia. But to Hester, who is tied for first place with Hall of Famer Deion Sanders with 19 career return touchdowns, the next one will be special.

Star search begins for Bulls R

emember how all the talk used to be finding a second superstar, or just another star who could create his own shot to go along with Derrick Rose?

That was the championship formula the way the Heat did it, except they pigged out with LeBron James and Chris Bosh joining Dwyane Wade in Miami.

That remains the championship formula.

But now it changes for the Bulls, or whatever will be left of a Bulls team that just lost to the one-win Utah Jazz.

Now the Bulls will need a first superstar.

Again.

Sorry, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see Rose returning to being that guy after his second knee surgery in 19 months.

Even if the medial meniscus surgery performed on his right knee wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as serious as repairing the torn ACL in his left, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still talking surgery, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still talking one on each knee for a player who was all about jumping fearlessly and recklessly. Thank goodness Rose has only two knees.

And remember, the injury-prone Rose wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t close to being the MVP Rose as he returned from his first injury when he suffered his second.

Good luck expecting him to return as the franchise player you saw right up till that jump cut against the 76ers.

So, the question isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t whether Rose can come back as Rose. He canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

No, the question is whether Rose even can be Wade at this point, ceding the ball and the team to whoever comes here.

With Derrick Rose out for the second straight season with a knee injury, the question becomes who will the Bulls build their team around in the future.

That is probably the role a point guard shouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had all along.

Building a championship team around a point guard who charges to the net like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a power forward probably wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the ideal plan in a big-manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s league. It was never going to have a long shelf life anyway.

And now we see it in all of its pain and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re left to wonder who becomes the superstar that Rose wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be?

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good chance the answer is no one.

Especially if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at the free-agent market, and hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why: Free agents stiff Chicago.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why.

Nobody seems to be saying why. But nobody whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great player signs with the Bulls.

James jacked around the Bulls, as did Wade, as did anybody who has ever looked like a potential franchise-changer, even going back to Tracy McGrady getting a hug from Jerry Krause.

It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mattered who the general manager or coach is. Big names bigtime Chicago and go elsewhere.

Everybody has a theory.

Michael Jordan is telling players not to sign here. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard that one. Jordanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statue intimidates potential free agents. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard that one, too. There are a lot of theories and all of them might apply at some point, but the facts are the facts, and the fact is the six-time champion Bulls get treated like they were the Bucks.

And that was even when Rose was ROSE, all caps. Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s me, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see Tony Snell as a star magnet.

So, if the Bulls are ever going to rise to championship levels again, it will have to be through the draft or trade. When you think about it, both are lotteries.

The draft is obvious: Select a long-armed, sky-piercing, snot-nosed 19-year-old who might or might not have his head

on straight and might or might not want to work at justifying the draft slot and millions that come with it.

Sometimes you select Rose, sometimes you get stuck with Michael Beasley. Sometimes you have Pau Gasol fall to you, sometimes you get suckered into Eddy Curry.

The trade market is a less obvious minefield, but just as terrifying.

A team that gives up someone like, say, Carmelo Anthony, knows something that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and you already know that Anthony doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make his teammates better. So, what else is there that could be worse?

Against the backdrop of a franchise that expects championships, the Bullsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; future looks as bad as a team that loses to the Jazz. I mean, look at how long and bad it was before the Bulls got lucky enough to draft a superstar in Rose. Ten years from Jordanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shot in Utah to the Bullsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; long shot in Secaucus.

The Bulls seem to be at that point again. So, the question is, how many Tyrus Thomases and Marcus Fizers and Jay Williams will we have to suffer through again?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hang up and listen for hockey season.

Newmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s depth in backfield key to success FOUR

CONTINUED FROM B1

â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of our backs are productive, and get the job done when called on,â&#x20AC;? Heffelfinger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All through the Newman process, you learn how to run this stuff and what it takes to play your position well.â&#x20AC;?

The perfect example of that could actually be found on the Newman sideline a couple of times this postseason.

After Rude left the firstround game against Fieldcrest with an ankle injury, he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t concerned in the least about his replacement filling his shoes; Olson ran for 41 yards and a touchdown.

Saturday, when the Comets lost the leader of that pack in Jake Snow after a hard thirdquarter hit, one look at the 5-5, 155-pound senior wingback told the same story. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could watch him and see that he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worried at all when he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go back in,â&#x20AC;?

Heffelfinger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He knew weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be OK without him.â&#x20AC;?

Such depth â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and talented depth, at that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is a luxury that longtime coach Mike Papoccia has come to depend on â&#x20AC;Ś but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not one he takes for granted.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a load off every one of the backsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; minds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and shoulders â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when they realize that they have to do only their job, because the other guys are so dependable about doing theirs.

On the tube TV listings

Michael Krabbenhoeft/mkrabbenhoeft@saukvalley.com

Newmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jake Snow scores the Cometsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first touchdown during Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semifinal against Mercer County. Snow left the game later after a hard hit, but Newman didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss a beat in the backfield. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comforting, for sure,â&#x20AC;? said Snow, who leads the crew with 1,584 yards and 28 TDs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you need a break or get hurt and have to go out, you know the guy stepping in will get the job done. Everyone can break off a 10- or 15-yard run, or throw that killer block. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got great backs across the board, and all of us can do the things that make us successful.â&#x20AC;?

That makes it incredibly easy for Papoccia and his coaching staff to spread the wealth.

Well, that plus the fact that there are no egos or jealousy getting in the way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all such great complements to each other,â&#x20AC;? Papoccia said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They all block so well for each other, they all

mesh well, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all capable of making big plays at key times.â&#x20AC;?

In addition to Snowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1,000-yard season, Rude has run for 641 yards and eight TDs, Heffelfinger has amassed 601 yards and 14 TDs, and Olson has run for 407 yards and six scores.

Throw Elliot Jensenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 402 yards and seven TDs into the mix, and Newman starts to look like a many-headed hydra to its opponents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good feeling to know that we have so many guys who understand their role and what it takes to win,â&#x20AC;?

Olson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes it a lot of fun to be a part of this group. One guy can have a big game, then the next game, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s somebody elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turn to carry the load.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whoever is hot that day, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to get the ball, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all hungry to be the guy theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re relying on.â&#x20AC;?

And the hot hand has changed like the weather â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and even more quickly, sometimes from drive to drive.

Snow has 480 yards and seven TDs on 67 rushes in the playoffs, while Heffelfinger has 74 carries for 343 yards and six scores. Olson (45 rushes, 241 yards, 2 TDs) and Rude (30-126, TD) have also cleared the century mark in the postseason.

That hunger to be the go-to guy on any given series isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a recent thing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the reasons, along with that aforementioned always-studly line, why the Comets have had so many all-conference, all-state, all-star backs throughout the years under Papocciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guidance.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a legacy the current Comets donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take lightly, and one that makes them proud to be the next link in the chain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All those guys who came before us set the bar, and we just do our best to try and meet it every time weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out there,â&#x20AC;? Rude said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to live up to, but it energizes you to think about what you can do to help fill their shoes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This position has been loaded in the past, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an honor to be the next in line behind those guys. We just want to keep the tradition going.â&#x20AC;?

When: A M Thursday Where: Ford Field, Detroit TV: Fox Line: Lions by 6 players â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to be able to overcome this.â&#x20AC;?

Quarterback Matthew Stafford said Monday there had been no meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s necessary,â&#x20AC;? Stafford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a team Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been around for a while, and we have strong leaders on this team. We can get it taken care of just in individual groups. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got leaders at every position, and guys know what it takes to win in this league.â&#x20AC;?

Stafford threw four interceptions Sunday, although on a couple of them he was hurt by fluky bounces. The final interception came with under a minute to go. Calvin Johnson almost made the catch at the Tampa Bay 5-yard line, but he was hit and the ball was jarred free, sailing right to another Bucs defender.

Detroit coach Jim Schwartz has praised his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to handle success this season. Now the Lions are facing some adversity.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we all need to remind ourselves, like we did yesterday, that the fact is that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five games remaining, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in first place,â&#x20AC;?

Schwartz said Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to conduct ourselves accordingly, and we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry what happened last week, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about what happened yesterday.

We need to worry about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen in the future. I like our teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mindset.â&#x20AC;?

The Lions have lost nine in a row on Thanksgiving.

Last year, they fell short in overtime against Houston in a game remembered for Schwartzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illegal toss of a challenge flag, which allowed a dubious Texans touchdown to stand. The previous Thanksgiving, Detroit star Ndamukong Suh was ejected against Green Bay. Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last victory on Thanksgiving was in 2003 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; against the Packers.

Stafford said the Lions didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend too much time rehashing the Tampa Bay game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very little â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just watched the game, buzzed through it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously had some things that I can do better, for sure. We were all in that boat. The rest of the day is devoted to Green Bay.â&#x20AC;?

ALLEN PARK, Mich. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Detroit Lions have a decent excuse if they do not want to talk about last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head-scratching loss to Tampa Bay. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much time to waste before a Thanksgiving showdown with division rival Green Bay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last time I checked, we still have a shot to win the division, so we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slipping away,â&#x20AC;? running back Reggie Bush said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But our sense of urgency has to go up quick.â&#x20AC;?

The Lions lost 24-21 to the Buccaneers on Sunday, turning the ball over five times in perhaps their worst defeat of the season. Detroit has lost two in a row since taking over sole possession of first place in the NFC North. The Lions are now tied atop the division with Chicago heading into Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s matchup with the Packers.

After Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mistakefilled fiasco, Bush said it was time for a team meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to have a players-only meeting and really dig deep inside and find out what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re made of,â&#x20AC;? Bush said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to take everybody on this team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; coaching staff,

Really special. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it,â&#x20AC;? said Hester, 31, who is in his eighth season with the Bears. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much as good as it gets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s any more records out there for me to break.

This might be the only one thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left in my position that I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t achieved yet.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not bragging if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re telling the truth.

Despite its ups and downs, Hesterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career has been nothing short of remarkable. Already, he is the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-time leader in combined kick return touchdowns (18) and punt return touchdowns (13), and he provided another career highlight when he returned a missed field goal 108 yards for a touchdown in 2006.

Oh, and Hester became the first player in NFL history to return the Super Bowlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening kick for a touchdown when he did it against the Indianapolis Colts.

As for this record? The all-time return touchdown record, which takes interceptions and fumble recoveries and everything else into account?

This is Deionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record.

The same Deion who Hester regards with as

much love as family.

The same Deion who attended Hesterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Florida wedding in 2010 and has served as a mentor.

No wonder the record means so much to Hester. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re real close,â&#x20AC;? Hester said as he dressed in the visitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; locker room in St. Louis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Deion texts me every day. He probably texted me already. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at the point where if anybody breaks his record, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather it be me.â&#x20AC;?

And Hester is at the point where he knows the record is bigger than one returner. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the entire special-teams unit that is on the field when history is made. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all rooting to get this record,â&#x20AC;? Hester said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the back of our heads. As players, all 11 guys out there on the field â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like if I break it, we all break it. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how we feel about it.â&#x20AC;?

Almost always, when Hester has done something special, Steltz has been one of those 11 guys working toward the greater goal. Hester understands that fact as well as anyone, which is why he went out of his way to support Steltz instead of directing blame after the penalty that spoiled history.

No hard feelings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m past that,â&#x20AC;? Hester said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Way past that.

Once we left that field, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over and done.â&#x20AC;?

Sometimes, athletes seem to lack sincerity.

This was not one of those times.

Earlier in his career, Hester admitted, it would have been harder to let go. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It comes with a lot of experience,â&#x20AC;? Hester said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Within 5 minutes, I was over it, where my first 2 years, I would have been dwelling on it the whole game, thinking about it. But now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m past it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This return is probably more important to me than any other return.

But over the past couple years, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve developed that mentality where things like this happen in the NFL. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a part of football, you know?â&#x20AC;?

Yes. Football gives, and football takes away.

But Hester is determined. The record is sitting there, waiting to be set.

Can he seize it this season? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah,â&#x20AC;? Hester said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got what, five games left? It just comes with opportunities. If I get more opportunities, hopefully I can break it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But right now, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really important to us [as a team]. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to shoot for the playoffs.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just got to keep sawing at the wood.â&#x20AC;?

And racing for the prize.

CONTINUED FROM B1 One of those wins stood out above the rest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was wrestling a kid from Freeport who was ranked 10th in the state,â&#x20AC;?

Bishop said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care that kid was ranked 10th in the state. He was losing, but kept wrestling hard and kept wrestling hard, and eventually he got him on his back and stuck him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He saw him again at regionals, and he stuck him again. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like that Energizer bunny. He never stops moving.â&#x20AC;?

Garcia, who is dropping down to 145 pounds, surprised himself with his success as a freshman, typically taking on more experienced wrestlers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were a lot stronger than me, but I tend to catch on fast up in the practice room,â&#x20AC;?

Garcia said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like I out-techniqued most of them. I was happy with my season. I was expecting to lose most of my matches, just because I was a freshman.â&#x20AC;?

Mendoza, who saw limited action at the varsity level last season, is still a relative newcomer to the sport.

Philip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com

Senior Zack Depuy will be a key member of the Sterling Golden Warriorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lineup in the lower weights during the 2013-14 season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is my fourth year in wrestling,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seventh grade was my first year. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m starting to get the hang of it now.â&#x20AC;?

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seemingly had the hang of it for quite some time, advancing to state as a seventh-grader. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been hooked on it ever since,â&#x20AC;? said Mendoza, who tried to get to 106 pounds this season, but will be back at 113. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been my favorite sport since.â&#x20AC;?

Bishop likes what he sees in Mendoza, even if it is a bit unpolished. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has a lot of natural

talent,â&#x20AC;? Bishop said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very quick. He goes 100 mph. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come a long way in a very short time.

The rawness is there, but I like the rawness.â&#x20AC;?

Bishop anticipates his lineup will have some 2-3 freshmen, several sophomores, 3-4 juniors and 3-4 seniors. Youth and a tough schedule may make for some tough sledding early. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We may take some lumps at the beginning, but adversity will make us stronger,â&#x20AC;? Bishop said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By the end of the season, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see a great lineup.â&#x20AC;?

NAPLES, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This kind of conversation was rare 5 years ago on the LPGA Tour. For starters, it involved Vin Scully.

So Yeon Ryu was chatting on the putting green when the topic of her name came up. The LPGA makes sure everyone pronounces it correctly as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yoo.â&#x20AC;? So why is it that Scully referred to rookie left-hander HyunJin Ryu as â&#x20AC;&#x153;REE-yoo?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, the Dodgersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pitcher? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really good guy,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe that can be a nickname for him.â&#x20AC;?

Any relation? â&#x20AC;&#x153;No,â&#x20AC;? she replied with a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ryu is a pretty common name in Korea.

But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good friends.â&#x20AC;?

So youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a baseball fan? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, yeah. I love the Dodgers,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Na Yeon Choi, a U.S. Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Open champion who describes herself as shy, canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop

Watershed moment s 3E 2I 0AK WON THE 5 3 /PEN AT "LACKWOLF 2UN IN +OHLER 7IS A SPARK FOR WOMEN S GOLF IN 3OUTH Korea.

AP

In this Oct. 5, 2013 file photo, South Koreaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Inbee Park (middle) watches as Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lin Xiyu (left) shakes hands with South Koreaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Na Yeon Choi after the third round of the Reignwood LPGA Classic near Beijing, China. talking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in English, of course â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about how far she has come in 6 years on the LPGA. She recalls her rookie season when she could speak only enough English â&#x20AC;&#x153;to order McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I traveled with my parents, we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to any restaurants by ourselves. We had to go

with somebody,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many questions. One day we went to American restaurant and just pointed at the food. Even then they were like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You want appetizer first, or soup?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It was a very hard time.â&#x20AC;?

Choi spent a year traveling with Greg Morrison, a Canadian tutor living in

Seoul, practicing English an hour a day without fail. She is comfortable enough now that she made a studio appearance last year on Golf Channelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Morning Drive.â&#x20AC;? And when her parents are in town? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can go wherever I want,â&#x20AC;? she said with a smile.

Any more, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to find a South Korean who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak English with great proficiency â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in pro-ams, in interviews, speeches, even with other players. That so-called problem of the LPGA Tour being taken over

by South Koreans sure doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem like one anymore.

11/27 ASTROGRAPH Astrograph Take a trip down memory lane.

Wednesday, November 27, 2013 Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t jump to conclusions or make assumptions regarding work, status or even when it comes to your personal business.

Nothing will be quite as it appears; taking time to get a clear picture will determine how well you do this year.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Get along regardless of how annoying a situation might be. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in your best interest to do what you can without making a fuss. Downtime at home will be your salvation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Take a trip down memory lane, reconnect with old friends and relive moments that will inspire you to reach for new heights.

A new twist to an old plan will excel.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe everything you hear. Get firsthand information before you make a move. Workrelated incidents turn out to be beneficial as long as you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fold under pressure.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Travel plans will not run smoothly. Focus on small gatherings and making plans and promises with someone you feel comfortable sharing with. Love and romance will ease stress.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Keep a low profile and avoid damaging your reputation. Work quietly behind the scenes, trying to perfect whatever you are doing. Minimal interaction is in your best interest.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Use your intellect and knowledge to wheel and deal your way into the limelight. The early bird catches the worm. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste time contemplating. Get the ball rolling.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Spend time with the people who mean the most to you. Engaging in home improvements that will enhance your comfort and family fun should take top priority.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Take care of pressing matters concerning home or family so that you can get back to jobs that lead to greater cash flow.

Develop an idea and present it to unique groups.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A problem with personal information will develop if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been completely honest about your past. Address issues before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late, or you are likely to be compromised.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -No matter what you do, you will shine. Explore new possibilities and learn new skills. Opportunity will be in abundance if you are receptive to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being offered.

NO INDIVIDUAL, unless licensed or holding a permit as a childcare facility, may cause to be published any advertisement soliciting a child care service.* A childcare facility that is licensed or operating under a permit issued by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services may publish advertisements of the services for which it is specifically licensed or issued a permit.
