Rep. revives efforts to cut government Hopes consolidation bills fare better under new gov. By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com

Motorists travel northbound Jan. 7 on Northwest Highway in Fox River Grove. The Fox River Grove Village Board has talked about getting rid of the red-light cameras at the end of their current contract. Ohio has already banned the cameras.

Local communities examine effects of red-light cameras By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com FOX RIVER GROVE – When the contract for the red-light camera at Routes 22 and 14 comes up for renewal, Trustee Steve Knar wants Fox River Grove to take a second look. The camera is one of six scattered across four McHenry County communities, the first of which was installed in 2008. “I think – how should I say – it’s certainly not a popular thing with the residents, and it’s right at 22 and 14, and that’s a crossroads of our town,” Knar said. “We hear from a lot of residents.” The conversation hasn’t gotten too far, mostly because the village would be on the hook for the cost of removing the cameras if they cancel the contract midway through, he said. State Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, filed legislation earlier this month that would eliminate the program, which allows cameras in Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, Madison, McHenry, St. Clair and Will counties. The proposal is similar to one state Sen. Dan Duffy, R-Lake Barrington, has filed in the past along with proposals that would have added one second to yellow lights. The biggest barrier to removal – one cited by both critics who would be glad to see them go and proponents who see them as boosts to public safety – is the revenue they bring. “Right now we would not be fixing roads if we did not have red-light cameras,” Fox River Grove Village President Bob Nunamaker said, adding he’s heard from business owners and residents who now feel comfortable

walking the sidewalks that line Route 14. And that safety component is why Lake in the Hills uses them, said Village President Paul Mulcahy. “It’s never been question to me or my Village Board or anyone in the village of revenue,” he said. “The cameras have a positive effect on driving habits. ... For most of us, it’s been a long time since driver’s ed. The cameras re-teach or remind us.” Lake in the Hills initially had cameras installed at three intersections but took them down from two intersections where the number of violations showed there wasn’t a problem with people running red lights, Mulcahy said. The remaining camera at Randall Road and Acorn Lane has led to about 3,500 tickets since January 2010, generating about $412,000, according to the village’s response to a Freedom of Information Act request. The number of tickets issued in Lake in the Hills doesn’t approach the numbers issued in other McHenry County communities. In 2014 alone, more than 30,000 tickets were issued by the Village of Lakemoor for violations caught by its camera at Routes 120 and 12, according to a report created by the village’s police department. The $1.8 million generated by those tickets accounted for about 36 percent of the village’s revenue over the last fiscal year, according to an estimate calculated using the village’s 2013-14 annual financial statement. Nearly 7,600 tickets were issued in Fox River Grove in 2014, and the village of

Bills aimed at helping consolidate some of the state’s almost 7,000 units of government may have a better chance of passing with a new governor in Springfield – or at least that’s what the sponsor hopes. Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, re-filed bills with the new General Assembly aimed at giving counties more power to dissolve more units of government, and placing a four-year ban on lawmakers’ ability to create new ones. They are similar to bills he attempted to pass during the last session. Franks said he is hopeful that the election of Gov. Bruce Rauner, a Republican who ran on a platform of trimming state government and reining in local property taxes, will better the odds. “We need to do this to rein in government. There’s no question – our state has the most local taxing bodies and the second-highest property taxes in the country. This is in direct correlation,” Franks said. House Bill 229 would give all Illinois counties the same authority that a 2013 law granted the DuPage County Board to abolish certain units of local government. Bodies that can be eliminated

Sportsplex Wars: Revenge of the TIF I don’t know about you, but I’m currently in a love-hate relationship with sports, and that’s not counting the Bears’ abysmal season. As a School District 155 taxpayer, I’m waiting with bated breath to see how much extra I’ll have to pay to cover the school board’s legal fees and fines once the Illinois Supreme Court inevitably throws out its “divine right of kings” defense for building the Circus Maximus at Crystal Lake South High School. As a parent, I watched with disgust two weeks ago as a Pennsylvania-based cult of football-obsessed psychopaths celebrated an NCAA ruling that returned their oh-soprecious wins. And as a Lakewood taxpayer, I now wonder whether the Return of the Lakewood Sportsplex really will be as harmless to my pocketbook as the Village Board is trying to lead me to believe. Five years ago, we covered the efforts of sportsplex mastermind Lou Tenore to build a large complex of sports fields anchored by a spacious indoor facility at the juncture of Routes 47 and 176. The idea fell through because Tenore couldn’t secure the funding in time, despite the promise of $18 million in federal economic stimulus bonds earmarked for McHenry County to spend its way out of the Great Recession. As reporter Emily Coleman has chronicled in recent stories, Tenore is back, supposedly with funding in hand and a slightly modified sportsplex proposal that will operate as a not-for-profit. I called the original plan a “wackadoodle” one in a previous column – in my defense, the plan also landed on a list of pork-barrel boondoggles complied by two U.S. senators – and I haven’t seen enough evidence to convince me otherwise regarding the Sportsplex Mark II. Of course, I also could point to the proposed minor-league baseball stadium at McHenry County College that a study said would bleed red ink, the plan to build a stadium

VIEWS Kevin Craver in Woodstock that never got beyond the choosing of an insipid name for the home team, etc., etc., but I’m running out of fingers, and I need to type. As my wife put it when I explained the sportsplex to her, “That’s Lippold Park. We already have Lippold Park.” Not to play down the valid concerns of angry neighbors, but if Tenore’s investors think that the market for sports fields and concessions is enough to pay back the construction costs and cover operations, so be it. It’s their money. I worry about my money. And speaking of which, I’m having a very hard time swallowing the Village Board’s insistence I won’t be responsible for a dime for this thing. I’ve earned the right to be skeptical, because I see Exhibit A every morning when I open my shades. When the board bought RedTail Golf Course, they issued these magical “alternate revenue bonds” that would use the revenue generated by golfers to pay back the loan. The “alternate” revenue for such bonds happens to be the taxpayers, who were on the hook to make up the difference if the pockets of the golfers weren’t as deep as village leaders thought. And they weren’t – taxpayers picked up a lot of the tab. I’ve played golf once in my life, only because two former Herald reporters dragged me to a putting range in the middle of winter, and I was so bored out of my skull that I ran around shirtless. Yet I had to help pay for RedTail. To paraphrase the comedian who played golfer Al Czervik in “Caddyshack,” Illinois taxpayers don’t get no respect. The village’s plan this time around

is to create a tax increment financing district in order to pay for the cost of extending services to the sportsplex. It beats the original plan five years ago to give away $5 million in incentives, but there’s still much to be desired. In a TIF, the assessments by which governments calculate their revenue are frozen, and revenue from value growth is shunted to a special fund to pay for improvements. But don’t get me started on the fairness of TIFs, which in theory only are supposed to be put on blighted areas. How the juncture of two state routes up the road from an interstate highway meets the definition of “blighted” is beyond me. I digress. I’ve been a journalist long enough to know a government that long ago made up its mind when I see one, and the Village Board is going to approve everything faster than poop through a goose. So I’m going to make a humble request to the Village Board, and I hope that my fellow taxpayers and aggrieved neighbors get on board with my idea and push for it. Let’s include a line item in the TIF revenues for what we’ll call the Ozymandias Fund. The money will be used to cast 10-foot-tall bronze statues, all facing Route 47 and clearly visible to passers-by, of every Village Board member. No Picasso-esque abstracts, but exact likenesses. Should the sportsplex go belly-up – a Harvard Motorola ghost town but with goalposts – the statues get erected. And on their pedestals these words will appear: “My name is [engrave board member’s name here], king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!” ‘Round the decay of a colossal wreck.

Library project not on April ballot Director says ‘pieces are not yet in place’ to put referendum before Crystal Lake voters By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Plans to build a new public library will not come before Crystal Lake voters this spring. Tuesday was the deadline for government boards to pass resolutions putting referenda on the April ballot.

LOCAL BRIEF Body found after fire in home near Barrington BARRINGTON – Authorities are investigating the cause of a house fire near Barrington after a body believed to be the homeowner was found inside. The Lake County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 21000 block of North 21st Street in unincorporated Lake County near Barrington for a structure fire at 1:15 a.m. Saturday. The home was engulfed in flames when deputies arrived, according to a news release from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office. After the Barrington Countryside Fire Department put out the fire, a body, believed to be the 88-year-old homeowner, was found in an upstairs bedroom. The Lake County Coroner’s Office was working to identify the body, according to the release. An autopsy is scheduled for Monday. The Lake County Sheriff’s Criminal Investigations Division, the Barrington Countryside Fire Department and the Illinois State Fire Marshal’s Office are investigating the cause of the fire. – Northwest Herald

“All the pieces are not yet in place to present a plan to the public for consideration,” Library Director Kathryn Martens said in an email Thursday. Library officials are leaning toward constructing a new building on its current location, a project that would cost about $30 million depending on the direction the board heads, after con-

sidering 24 locations laid out in a 228-page site assessment report issued in 2013. The report looked at rebuilding on the current site, renovating either the old Wal-Mart and Garden Fresh stores on Northwest Highway, building next to the Dole Mansion or being on the west side of Three Oaks Recreation Area near the lake.

The former Wal-Mart and Garden Fresh locations topped the report’s recommendations but were ultimately “deemed to be fatally flawed” because they did not meet the criteria for the highest and best use of the land and would remove real estate from the commercial market and also remove those site’s revenue opportunities, including sales and property

taxes, Martens has said. Mixed-use proposals for two locations along South Main Street also were eventually nixed, one because the site was too sloped when the shoreline was taken into consideration and the other because a sale price couldn’t be negotiated.

The Crystal Lake Public Library’s building committee will meet at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the library, which is located at 126 W. Paddock St.

FIRST TECH CHALLENGE NORTHERN ILLINOIS LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP

A ‘varsity sport of the mind’ Area students compete in robotics event

Trustees split on tuition increase By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com

By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Inside the Lundahl Middle School gym Saturday, a different type of competition unfolded on the hardwood. The typical scene involving student basketball players drenched in sweat and running half court formations was replaced with students dressed in jeans, holding controllers and operating robots. The students came from 24 area high schools to play the FIRST Tech Challenge Northern Illinois League championship. The non-school-sponsored robotics league is designed to support students interested in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math. “What we are doing is taking the best of sports and creating the varsity sport of the mind,” said Jonathan Welland, director of Illinois FIRST Tech Challenge. “We give kids the opportunity to do an exciting engineering project – a yearly challenge that asks them to integrate science, technology, programming and engineering.” Students across the Chicago area from both community and school robotics clubs competed throughout the day at the Crystal Lake middle school to try to earn a statewide FTC championship spot. The championship takes place Feb. 21 at the Illinois Institute of Technology. Guided by volunteer coaches, the students are responsible for designing, programming and building robots for league play. During the qualifying and semifinal matches Saturday, they used the robots to complete a series of timed challenges and compete for points. Like any sporting event, the FTC Northern Illinois League featured referees and announcers. The robotics league concept is meant to capture the competitiveness of sports while increas-

CRYSTAL LAKE – The tuition McHenry County College students pay next semester may be higher but perhaps not as high as staff originally recommended. The college’s Board of Trustees were spilt during a discussion Thursday evening between keeping tuition level and raising it $5 per credit hour plus a $5 infrastructure fee. Both suggestions are less than the recommendation made by staff – increases of $10 per credit hour for tuition and a new $5 per credit hour fee for infrastructure – designed to close a $1.1 million operating deficit projected for fiscal 201516 by generating an additional $1.8 million, Robert Tenuta, the college’s chief financial officer and treasurer, told the board earlier this month. The extra $15 a credit hour would amount to about a 15 percent increase for students, a number some trustees found hard to swallow. They asked staff to return with alternatives, which were laid out Thursday evening. A $5 increase to tuition along with a $5 infrastructure fee would give the college a $139,000 surplus and an $8 increase with the new infrastructure fee would generate a $500,000 surplus over the next fiscal year, making it its “break-even point” to cover both operations and deferred maintenance costs, Tenuta said. Those projections, however, are based on certain assumptions and “so many things are beyond our control,” said the board’s vice chairwoman, Linda Liddell of Crystal Lake, adding she’d like to hedge some bets. She said she saw the $5 increase to tuition as the minimum the college could handle while still being able to adjust to some of the unknowns, including President Barack Obama’s plan to make community college free to millions of students.

Challenger Learning Center renovates its flight simulator By ALLISON GOODRICH

agoodrich@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – An interactive flight simulator has been restored and renovated at the Challenger Learning Center for Science and Technology of Woodstock, 222 E. Church St. Renovations were recently completed at the center to create an observatory space around the cockpit that was already in place, but unused for about 10 years, said Chantel Madson, executive director of the center. “It was just a cockpit and an empty floor before, back in the day when we used the simulator,” Madson said. “We got it back up and running this past summer.” But the simulator only seats two, so in order to facilitate more students, the center had a carpeted platform with donated seats installed, with the help of Downers Grovebased Classic Cinemas.

The Challenger Learning Center for Science & Technology of Woodstock recently completed the renovation of its interactive simulator exhibit with the support of Classic Cinemas, owners of the Woodstock Theatre. The renovations included construction of a platform and bolting of the seats for the exhibit along with carpet and labor to complete the project. vided carpenters to construct the platform as well as donated materials, Madson said. The space now seats 35 and will be offered for scout troops, special events and birthday parties.

“It’s going to increase our [science, technology, engineering and math] programming so that we can continue to inspire kids in the STEM field,” she added. “Maybe, we’ll get a future pilot out of this.”

While a 2007 space assessment and reconfiguration bought library officials more time, there are structural problems with the building, in particular the soil density underneath the eastern side of the building where the administrative offices are housed, Martens said. Many elements of the building also are at the end of their life.

“The board’s conclusion is that it’s more cost-effective to work toward a new facility,” she said, adding a new facility also could address the increasing demand from users and accessibility issues for people with disabilities. The library board’s building committee has a meeting planned for next week to discuss a city review of the library’s plans, cost estimate reviews with the architecture firm, and the board’s plans and expectations for next six months.

Projections based on keeping the property levy flat for next 5 years

But the projections are also based on the assumption the college’s Board of Trustees keeps its property levy flat for the next five years, Trustee Cynthia Kisser of Wonder Lake said, adding she finds hard to believe. That also makes her more inclined to go with the $5 increase to tuition, Kisser said. Trustee Chris Jenner of Cary joined two other trustees in pushing for no increase, arguing the board was giving in too easily and should be finding a way to twist arms in Springfield.

If you go The McHenry County College Board of Trustees has one more meeting to discuss the proposed tuition increase before voting on it in late February. The next discussion will be at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 17 at the college, 8900 Route 14. “The reduction in state funding is reprehensible and totally unacceptable,” he said. “Property taxpayers keep putting out, income taxpayers keep putting out, and students keep putting out.” Community college administrations have been warned to expect a 20 to 30 percent drop in general state aid.

Report: Only New Jersey has a higher property-tax burden than Ill. • GOVERNMENT Continued from page A1 must be completely within one county’s boundary, and the county board must be responsible for appointing a majority of the body’s governing board. The county board must show good cause to abolish the body, and voters have 30 days from approval of an abolition ordinance to initiate a referendum if they oppose. Under House Bill 228, the General Assembly would not be allowed to enact legislation creating new units of government for four years, except for bodies created as a result of consolidation. At more than 6,900, the Land of Lincoln has more units

of government than any other state, and 2,000 more than the first runner-up of Pennsylvania. Only New Jersey has a higher property-tax burden than Illinois, according to a late 2013 report by the Urban Institute, a Washington, D.C.based think tank. Critics allege the sheer number of taxing bodies, besides providing duplicative services, makes it impossible for watchdogs and taxpayers to keep an eye on them all. The moratorium bill passed the House with only one opposing vote in the last General Assembly, but stalled in the Senate. The consolidation bill failed in committee and languished in the House until the end of session. Efforts to promote consol-

Banks 1st player to win MVP with losing team • BANKS Continued from page A1 me, the Cubs were a remarkably close third to food and drink. By the time I was 3 or 4, I was spending hours in front of the full length mirror in my parents’ room trying to perfectly replicate Ernie’s iconic stance at the plate and dreaming endlessly of the day I’d wear the C. I was 6 the first time I faked a stomach flu in late April so I could stay home and watch Ernie because, of course, the games were ending by the time I got home from school every day. It was the first of dozens over the years. The late ’50s and ’60s weren’t a bad time to be sports fans in Chicago. The Hawks won a cup in ’61, the Bears a title in ’63, the hated – in my house – Sox were in a World Series in ’59 and the “curse” was still just filling out its puberty. As the ’60s wore on and the country went through social upheaval theretofore unseen: We had Ernie, Billy, Ronnie and Fergie on the North Side; Nellie and Louie on the South Side; Butkus, Sayers, Hall, Hull, Mikita and so many more. It was no secret, even then, they’d all eventually find their respective Halls of Fame, and everyone, no matter what their principle allegiance might be, knew Ernie was the crown prince of the group. There was a tradition in the Arkush/Waldman family from the day I was born. At least once, usually twice a season, Grandpa Louie would take our Dad; three, four or five of our uncles; both my brothers and me; and all nine of our first cousins to the Cubs game and everything was on Gramps. It wasn’t a big deal to get tickets in those days, as the grandstands were all open seating and, even on Saturdays, the park was rarely full. We’d show up a few hours early, buy the 15 to 20 tickets we needed at $1.50 a piece, and carve out our own space, usually about halfway up in the lower deck on the third-base side between the dugout and the bullpen. While our cousins would try and figure out how to down one more hot dog, Cracker Jack or Frosty Malt,

my brothers and I would sit there with our scorecards and No. 2 lead pencils in our hands, each awaiting our next turns at bat. In our maturing adolescence, Dan was a Santo guy, Rick was No. 26, sweet-swinging Billy, and I was all Ernie. I would start counting three or four batters ahead until his next trip to the plate, and then suddenly there he would be. He stood tall at the plate, bent ever so slightly at the waist, with his left shoulder dipped just enough to clear his field of vision to the mound. Ernie’s right elbow pointed backward at a 90-degree angle to his body and his bat stood straight up, pointed to the sky and parallel to his body. Then, as the pitcher began his motion to the plate, Ernie’s fingers would begin to twitch on the bat, and there was magic in the air. He uncoiled 512 times as the ball approached the plate in a whip-like motion, propelled by wrists seemingly of steel, as we’d hear the crack of the bat and the ball would launch like a laser into the first 10 or 12 rows of the left center field bleachers. It was poetry. It was nirvana. It was my youth. Ernie wasn’t just a Hall of Famer or ambassador of the game, he was the greatest shortstop of all time and I don’t have a lot of time to waste on any of you who want to argue. In 1958, he became the first player in the history of the game to win an MVP with a losing team, and in 1959 he became the first National Leaguer who’d ever won two in a row. But it’s not that, or the fact that at his retirement only seven players in history had hit more than his 512 home runs, that makes him the greatest. Aparicio was here at the same time and one of the alltime greats as well. But like Louie, every shortstop before him, great or mediocre, had been a smaller scrapper whose job was to take away a significant chunk of the field on defense, get on base and hope the thumpers could move him around. Ernie redefined the position and the game. We had never seen a shortstop of his size and athleticism who could hit for power, drive in runs and still win Gold

Gloves as well. He retired with the highest fielding percentage for a shortstop in history at that time. If it weren’t for Ernie, there quite possibly would never have been a Ripken, Jeter or A-Rod. They would all have been first basemen or outfielders. Ernie changed the game forever, and he changed my life and the lives of tens or more likely hundreds of thousands of us growing up all around the city, the state and the country at the time. Not with his personality, but with his remarkable skill. Of course, his irresistible smile, boundless enthusiasm and love for the game were part of what moved us all so deeply then and throughout the years until he left us Friday night. Yet, maybe nothing I’ve said so far is what mattered most about Ernie. Chicago was still a thoroughly segregated city in the ’50s and by the late ’60s we were known as much for our riots as our sports. I was 15 and we were on our way home from my freshman baseball team practice when we heard the news on the radio in the car that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had been killed. I was afraid we’d burn the city down that weekend. But when I heard Ernie on the radio the next day, somehow I knew we’d be all right. It had never even occurred to me that he was the first black player in Cubs history. It had never even occurred to me that he was black. He was just Ernie. In those days and those times, for a Jewish kid from Rogers Park, you have no idea what a big deal that was. Color blindness was not a common trait, but Ernie taught it to us all. Other than my Dad, I’ve never really had a hero, but Ernie was as close as I’ve come. To my generation, he was truly one of a kind and he marked my life forever. So, I shed a tear last night, but just one. After all, Heaven is a better place today and we are all better people for the time we were lucky enough to share with Mr. Cub.

lawmakers got their start in smaller units of government. For example, only 13 of the 400-plus taxing bodies in DuPage County are eligible for deletion under the pilot program that Franks’ bill wants to give to all counties. But small steps have increased pace in recent years. After several years of effort, lawmakers passed legislation that enabled the voters of Evanston Township to dis-

solve it and absorb its remaining duties into the city government. An overdue paring down of the number of regional offices of education from 44 to 35, which was supposed to take place years ago, is ongoing. A successful Franks bill signed into law last year created a mechanism giving some of the state’s most eclectic taxing bodies – such as cemetery, waste disposal and water authority districts – the power to either consolidate or vote themselves out of existence if they so choose. The final report of a consolidation commission created and chaired by Franks concluded in part that many types of government have no authority under state law to consolidate or abolish them-

selves, while others face overly restrictive conditions, such as the requirement that two contiguous library districts must have the exact same tax levy limits in order to merge. Like other consolidation bills, it doesn’t amount to much. Only two of the more than 140 taxing bodies in McHenry County – the Richmond and Nunda Township cemetery districts – would be able to eliminate themselves under the law. But even these limited bills mark progress, Franks said. “The fact that we were able to move any consolidation bills is a seismic change,” Franks said. “I think with the new governor that we’re going to have some movement on this.”

Schmitt: Cameras have curbed crashes Voice your opinion

• CAMERAS Continued from page A1 Algonquin issued 2,365 tickets for its three cameras, a drop of about a half since 2010 when the village had four cameras, according to the villages’ reports. The camera at Main Street and Algonquin Road was removed at the beginning of 2013. And the tickets have worked, Alg o n q u i n Village Presi d e n t J o h n John Schmitt Schmitt said. Crashes were reduced by more than 30 percent at intersections with red-light cameras and by 25 percent at all other intersections, he said. “They’re doing what they’re intended to do,” Schmitt said. “It’s a good system. Unfortunately, there are some communities that abuse them and have not really monitored the way they

are to be used. The whole point is to make our communities safer.” Not all communities have seen the number of crashes drop, however. There were six crashes resulting in two injuries in 2006 at Route 22 and 14, according to data submitted by the village of Fox River Grove to the Illinois Department of Transportation. The number climbed to 12 wrecks with no injuries in 2007 and 11 crashes with three injuries in 2008 before dropping back to six crashes in both 2011 and 2012. The cameras were installed more than halfway through 2009, a year with three crashes. The village of Lakemoor recorded 25 wrecks in 2009, 15 in 2010 and 13 in 2011, according to the one-year justification report it submitted

to IDOT. The cameras were activated in December 2011, and the following year 18 crashes took place at the intersection, though Lakemoor Village President Todd Weihofen has said that since then wrecks have decreased by about 38 percent. Studies also show the cameras can increase crashes, said state Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, who has sponsored several bills over the years aimed at red-light cameras. His proposals – ones he’s considering introducing again this year after he tests the waters – have included eliminating cameras where right-on-red turns are legal and reducing the maximum fine to $50. Franks wasn’t optimistic about the cameras being rolled back, though, at the state level. “Never underestimate the greed of municipalities,” Franks said, adding that people need to speak up and have the debate at the local level.

Hearing Loss Linked to Increased Risk of Dementia New Johns Hopkins study shows hearing loss more prevalent and linked to dementia

Shawn Burnham, H.I.S. Hearing Instrument Specialist

A patient receives a complimentary video otoscopic inspection where he is able to see inside his own ear canal on a large screen monitor.

Have you ever avoided a social gathering because you were afraid of feeling lost in the conversation? Have you felt exhausted un_oa `_aujdjdm _c loua jd u pjnvq^h_ hj`_odjdm situation, and kept away from people for a while afterward? If so, you may be experiencing the social isolation common to hearing loss and recently identified as a possible factor in the development of dementia. “Researchers have looked at what affects hearing loss, but few have looked at how hearing loss affects cognitive brain function,” says study leader Frank Lin, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor in the Division of Otology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Lin and his team used studied over 600 volunteers whose hearing and cognitive abilities were tested as part of a long-term multidimensional study called the Baltimore Longitudinal Study on Aging (BLSA) established in 1958. About a quarter of the volunteers had hearing loss at the start of the study, but none of them had dementia. Participants were closely followed with repeat exams every year or two for nearly 20 years. Researchers found that those who had hearing loss at the beginning of the study were `jmdjvqud_ht ecao hjioht _c po]ohcb poeod_ju by the end. Of those participants who started

with hearing loss, 36% developed dementia over the course of the study. “Compared to individuals with normal hearing, those individuals with a mild, moderate, and severe hearing loss, respectively, had a respective 2, 3 and 5 fold increased risk of developing dementia over the course of the study,” reports Dr. Lin. In a separate study, Johns Hopkins reported that the hearing loss rate in older adults has climbed to more than 60 percent in a national survey. “A lot of people ignore hearing loss because it’s such a slow and insidious process as we age,” Lin says. “Even if people feel as if they are not affected, we’re showing that it may well be a more serious problem.” Further research is needed to determine the exact reasons why dementia and hearing loss are connected. However, one possibility proposed in the study is that dementia may result in part from the social isolation inherent in hearing loss, which is a known risk factor for this and other cognitive disorders. I don’t mean to scare you, but this study `quaop eor [_ _lo ]oat hou`_s j_ qcdvae` _lo need to maintain your hearing health. Hearing loss can happen so gradually it is hard to detect on your own. Regular hearing checks can help you identify loss early, and early is the key. If caught in time, intervention—like hearing

aids—may help to delay or even prevent qcmdj_j]o pjnvq^h_jo`r Perhaps more to the point, hearing aids can help you hear and understand the conversations that matter most to you right now. Hearing aids have come a long way in the last few years. These modern devices are so discreet you won’t need to worry about what others might think. They’ll only know that you’re hearing and understanding better. State of the art technology also allows hearing aids to do more than ever before. Advanced feedback cancelation and speech preservation features are designed to provide a more natural listening experience and better comprehension. Most models also come with multiple channels that you can program for `boqjvq hj`_odjdm od]jacdeod_`r fcs jn tc^ eat out a lot, you can program your hearing aids with settings that will help reduce the background noise and focus on conversations in front of you. The bottom line is this: hearing aids can help to prevent hearing loss from robbing you of the things you value most—your connection to those you love. Please take steps to make sure your hearing is in good health. Make an appointment with a qualified hearing professional today. -BY SHAWN BURNHAM, H.I.S.

SKETCH VIEW

Free college program gets failing grade On its face, President Barack Obama’s America’s College Promise program sounds worthwhile. The basic concept of the plan is free community college for students who qualify. But the concept is flawed and not as worthwhile as it seems. The cost, the standards and the target of the program make it a bad idea. Remember, nothing is free. America’s College Promise would cover tuition for two years of community For the record college classes. To qualify, students If state government has more would have to money for education, it should attend community be thrown at pre-K-12 educacollege at least tion funding. half-time, maintain a 2.5 gradepoint average and be on schedule to complete their programs. Students must earn a two-year degree or half the academic credit toward a four-year degree. Let’s start with the cost. Obama’s proposal calls for the federal government to spend $60 billion over 10 years, which is supposed to cover 75 percent of the tuition costs. States would cover the other 25 percent. Robert Kelchen, an assistant professor at Seton Hall University who specializes in higher education policy, thinks $60 billion isn’t even enough to cover the program. He told Newsweek the federal government would likely need to come up with $150 billion to $200 billion. Whether it is federal money or state money, it is taxpayer money. It might be free for students, but it’s going to cost you something. No fund sourcing has been identified at the federal level, although there have been reports one possible source is a new tax on – wait for it – 529 college savings plans. And is there any doubt Illinois can’t afford this? Unfunded pension liability and backlogged bills are a higher priority. Plus, if state government has more money for education, it should be thrown at pre-K-12 education funding. “Where will the money come from? That is the challenge for us in Illinois,” Elgin Community College President David Sam said. And shouldn’t any initiatives looking to defray the cost of a college education be targeted for four-year schools rather than community colleges? Community colleges remain more affordable than four-year schools, which have seen tuition costs rise tremendously over the past 20 years. Then there’s the GPA requirement to stay in the program. Shouldn’t students looking for a free education be expected to perform higher than a C-plus level? Not under Obama’s plan. Finally, there’s the effect this would have on community colleges. College presidents already were warned by the state to expect 20 percent to 30 percent less in general state aid in the next fiscal year, Sam and McHenry County College President Vicky Smith said. If the program does move forward, which seems unlikely in a Republican-controlled Congress, colleges such as MCC would have to find space for the additional students and money for faculty to teach the additional students. Finding ways to make college more affordable is a worthy cause and approaching top-priority status in this country. America’s College Promise is not a solution to this issue.

ANOTHER VIEW

Vision for America In his State of the Union address, the U.S. president – who excels in his rhetoric skills – said it’s time to focus more on values than policies. Proudly declaring recession is an issue of yesteryears, Barack Obama promised policies that will benefit America across the board, to what he termed “middle-class economics.” Apparently acting in the footprints of his predecessor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Obama wants to usher in a New Deal wherein families can help plan for the foreseeable future, as their concerns on social welfare are taken care of by the state. Urging Americans to turn a new page after the worst recession since the Depression of 1933-38, he said it’s time to commit to an economy that generates rising incomes and chances for everyone. Obama’s outlook will be judged closely in the light of his performance in terms of health care, immigration and taxing the rich. The million-dollar question is will the Republican-dominated Congress allow him to tread the path of opportunities for all or obstruct his executive decisions by legislating to the contrary? Some veterans on Capitol Hill already dismissed Obama’s landmark speech on America’s future as one based on class warfare. The president has to walk the talk to leave behind a legacy that is futuristic in essence. Khaleej Times (Dubai)

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

IT’S YOUR WRITE Bipartisanship from Roskam To the Editor: In high school civics, I learned the term bipartisan, meaning cooperation between two different sides to get things done. It was good to see our Congressman, Peter Roskam, help the new Congress accomplish three practical, bipartisan projects during its first week back in session. The House unanimously passed the Hire More Heroes Act, which encourages the hiring of veterans by exempting those with VA health coverage from being counted against the employer health care mandate. The House passed a bill reinstating the traditional 40-hour work week. The Affordable Care Act had required employers to cover workers working 30 hours or more, and this had prompted employers – private and public – to cut hours and wages for more part-time employees. Last year, I attended a school board meeting where the support staff were highly critical (understatement of the year) of the board because their hours were being cut to 29. The House also approved the permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline, which would decrease our dependence on foreign oil and, according to President Obama’s own State Department, create 42,000 jobs. Unfortunately, the White House already has threatened to veto it

even though the bill passed the House with bipartisan support. Regardless, it was good to see some common sense, bipartisan bills pass the House of Representatives, and I thank Congressman Roskam for his vocal support of them. I look forward to seeing what’s next.

Immigration thoughts To the Editor: Some thoughts on how to solve the immigration problem. From 1800 to 1950, immigrants saw a better economic system, adapted and everyone prospered. Now there seems to be two types of immigrants. Some want to work with the best company and schools and prosper. Some come for the benefits but want to keep their old ways of living. They want to wear burkas and speak their old language. Americans should learn their language. If we observed everyone’s holiday and spoke their language, we would not have time to be productive. Those people who want things just like at home must realize the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Everyone (legal) would be given a five-year work visa. Children under 25 would be a citizen of their par-

ents’ country after five years of job history, an ability to speak English and maybe a few other tests. If you failed, you would be deported with the mission to improve conditions at home. To help people find work, everyone on welfare would be guaranteed a 40-hours-a-week job (no show; no pay) with the county, township or city. If a factory or farmer needed extra help, he would be required to pay over minimum wage. Walter J. Steffens Johnsburg

Troop support To the Editor: I just wanted to say thank you to the Wendy’s on Route 14 by Main Street. This restaurant is great to the community. Wendy’s has given our organization, Troop 165 (Crystal Lake Nature Center), fundraiser nights when we needed equipment

or funds for our scouting activities. Thank you to the managers, especially the previous manager, Ms. Vestal, and now Faviola. Your support has kept our troop moving along. Thank you. Dave Plonczynski Woodstock

Son doing OK To the Editor: This is a thank you note to those who were concerned about my son. In particular, one man who called the ambulance and stayed with him until the ambulance came. My son was at Wal-Mart on Route 31 on Dec. 27 when he felt ill. He sat on the floor and then laid on the floor. Thank you for not passing him by. He had to have surgery. He is doing OK and is at home. Thank you, all. Joyce Calvert Crystal Lake

Winston Churchill: A man for all times LONDON – It is an old debating point: Do the times make the man, or does the man make the times? In the case of Winston Churchill, whose death 50 years ago Saturday the British are remembering with more than nostalgia, it is both. The times in Churchill’s case were World War I, in which he served as a battalion commander, and World War II, which he helped win for Britain and America. By the standard he set, all political leaders since – with the possible exception of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan – are mere pygmies. Yet, even they pale in his shadow. No one else can touch Churchill for his vision, leadership and most of all persistence. Like Babe Ruth who struck out a lot, but who also hit many home runs, Churchill “struck out” more than once, but his successes far outweigh and overwhelm his failures. London Mayor Boris Johnson has written a wonderful book called “The Churchill Factor: How One Man Made History.” Not only did Churchill make history, he bent it to his will and still today embodies the classic

VIEWS Cal Thomas definition of a leader. He had many contemporary enemies and there are those in Britain who still believe he was too full of himself and that many of his ideas were ill conceived. Yet, his achievements were so momentous those voices get little attention outside academic circles and left-wing media who have forgotten how to fight and win wars. Churchill had a way with words that conveyed great truths and necessarily stirred the hearts of his countrymen. Probably his best-known words were uttered after the RAF defended Britain from bombings by the German Luftwaffe: “Never in the field of human conflict has so much been owed by so many to so few.” In 1942, after the Allied victory near the Egyptian coastal city of El Alamein, which marked a turning point in the Western desert campaign, Churchill said: “Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end.

But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” Churchill wrote, spoke and did things that endure. What modern politician can match his clarity of thought, writings and voracious reading? His 1946 “Iron Curtain” speech at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, foresaw the Cold War with the Soviet Union. Of the man, Boris Johnson wrote, “you are acutely aware of being chained to a genius, and a genius of unbelievable energy and fecundity.” Churchill, noted Johnson, “produces more published works than Shakespeare and Dickens combined, wins the Nobel Prize for literature, kills umpteen people in armed conflict on four continents, serves in every great office of state, including prime minister (twice), is indispensible to victory in two world wars and then posthumously sells his paintings for a million dollars.” Churchill had a far less than ideal upbringing. His father, Randolph, mostly rejected him and gave him, not love, but criticism; his mother pushed him but was often preoccupied with a series of men not her husband;

he was small and often the object of bullying, but he overcame it all through the force of his ego, strong will and persistence. (“Never give in, never give in, never, never, never – in nothing, great or small, large or petty – never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”) I recall the TV coverage of his 1965 state funeral. Thousands lined London streets. Dockworkers lowered their cranes in tribute as his body was borne down the River Thames on a barge. Churchill was more than a leader for his time. He was a man for all time; a man for all seasons, as Robert Bolt titled his play about Sir Thomas More. Johnson concluded his book: “There has been no one remotely like him before or since.” The world is the worse for it. • Cal Thomas’ latest book is “What Works: Common Sense Solutions for a Stronger America” is available in bookstores now.

‘Deadheads’ ask to camp out during band’s July concerts By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Fans of the Grateful Dead want a campout-style atmosphere during three 50th anniversary concerts in July at Chicago’s Soldier Field, but whether the venue will allow it is another question. Jeremy Davis, of Florida, started an online petition – which had about 8,000 signatures by Saturday – asking that overnight parking be allowed in lots surrounding the stadium along Lake Michigan. Davis said it would keep the anticipated tens of thousands of fans from crowding downtown streets and reduce traffic congestion. He added that fans – eager for what could be one of the band’s last shows – are willing to pay more and it

could be an economic opportunity for Chicago. Also, it’s long been a Deadhead tradition with fans bringing RV’s to concerts with “no negativity,” he said. “It’s something that we’ve been doing for so long,” said Davis, who works in finance but also makes jewelry sold at concerts “This is almost a no brainer.” Officials in Chicago said many factors have to be considered, among them safety. Opening lots around Soldier Field for more than four hours prior to the show – the typical time – will take resources and coordination from police, the fire department and other agencies. Soldier Field spokesman Luca Serra said an evaluation would take place over the coming weeks. “While we understand the

desires of some of the community, this is something that requires a cooperative evaluation from several entities to make a determination,” he said. The area around Soldier Field isn’t new to festival-style concerts. For the last decade, Chicago’s lakefront Grant Park has hosted Lollapalooza, where dozens of musical artists perform over several days. For Davis, the Grateful Dead’s Chicago concerts during the July 4 holiday weekend could be a meaningful and final opportunity to see other fans. Several original band members are reuniting for the “Fare Thee Well” concerts. The band gave its final performances with lead singer Jerry Garcia in Chicago in July 1995. He died later that year.

4 STATE&NATION • Sunday, January 25, 2015 • Section B • Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com STATE BRIEFS Proposed state bill would ban powdered alcohol SPRINGFIELD – A proposed law in Illinois would ban the sale of powdered alcohol before it hits store shelves. The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises Newspapers reported the proposal amends the Liquor Control Act of 1934. State Sen. Ira Silverstein of Chicago is sponsoring the bill. He said it’s a “public safety bill” and doesn’t want the product to reach stores. The bill defines powdered alcohol as “any powder or crystalline substance containing alcohol produced for human consumption.”

Metra postpones hike for onboard ticket purchases CHICAGO – Metra will delay its plan to increase the onboard ticket-purchase penalty until mobile ticketing is available this year. Officials announced Friday the fee was scheduled to increase to $5 from $3 Feb. 1. That’s when other fare increases and fare-policy changes take effect. They will continue as planned. The fee is assessed when riders board at stations with open ticket windows or vending machines.

Immigrant licenses top 85,000 in Illinois SPRINGFIELD – More than 85,000 immigrants living in the U.S. illegally now have Illinois driver’s licenses under a new state program. The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises reported the tally comes after the first full year that the program has been in place in Illinois. The $30 licenses are valid for three years and may be used only for driving. They can’t be used as identification for activities like boarding a plane, voting or buying a firearm.

GOP presidential hopefuls pitch ideas Vie for Christian right’s support at conservative forum in Iowa By THOMAS BEAUMONT The Associated Press DES MOINES, Iowa – The robust Christian right in early-voting Iowa plays an outsize role in helping determine the Republican presidential nominee, a political reality not lost on the parade of would-be 2016 candidates trying to draw attention at a Saturday gathering of social conservatives. Govs. Chris Christie of New Jersey and Scott Walker of Wisconsin, former Govs. Rick Perry of Texas and Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and many others turned the Iowa Freedom Forum into the unofficial launch of the next campaign for the Iowa caucuses. More than 1,000 religious conservatives met at a refurbished theater to hear them pitch their policies and their values. Christie may have had the most to gain – or lose – from appearing at the forum. Considered a moderate in some GOP circles and a party establishment choice in others, the New Jersey governor tried to connect with grass-roots conservative activists by assuring them that trust is more important than total agreement. “If you want a candidate who agrees with you 100 percent of the time, I’ll give you a suggestion: Go home and look in the mirror. You are the only person you agree with 100 percent of the time,” he said. “You’ll always know who I am, you’ll always know what I believe and you’ll always know where I stand.” To back up his conservative credentials, Christie proclaimed his opposition to gay marriage and abortion rights.

He also rejected the idea that Republicans could only be competitive in traditionally Democratic states by abandoning opposition to abortion rights. “And I’m living proof,” he said. In his remarks, Cruz cited the Bible as he challenged caucus participants to back only presidential candidates with a proven conservative track record. “You know what,” he said, “talk is cheap. The word tells us you shall know them by their fruits ... Look every candidate in the eye and say ‘Don’t talk, show me.’” While he criticized President Barack Obama’s foreign policy and other actions, Huckabee warned about the dangers of intraparty fighting. “We don’t need to spend the next two years beating each other up in the conservative

tent. We need to tell America what’s right with this country,” he said. Perry also pointed to the end of the Obama administration: “I got a feeling that after six years of disappointment, of mediocrity and decline, a slow course correction is not what voters are going to be looking for in 2016.” Walker promoted his administration’s enactment of voter identification, concealed carry handgun and abortion restriction legislation – all red-meat issues to the conservative audience. For many Republicans, he is best known for beating back a recall effort and then winning re-election. “You see, I think that sends a powerful message to Republicans in Washington and around the country that

if you’re not afraid to go big and go bold you can actually get results,” Walker said. Rick Santorum, the former senator from Pennsylvania who won the 2012 Iowa caucuses, said the GOP needs to do a better job convincing working Americans that Republicans are on their side. “We don’t win because too many people don’t think we care about them. We have to show them not just by saying we do, but by having policies and a message where they can see it and feel it in us,” Santorum said as he called for lower taxes, less regulation and stronger family values. The forum’s sponsor, Rep. Steve King of Iowa, opened the event by asking the crowd, “Do you believe that the next president of the United States is going to be speaking to you

today?” The audience erupted in applause and King responded, “As do I.” Among others speaking at the forum were businesswoman Carly Fiorina, Dr. Ben Carson, former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and real estate mogul and reality TV star Donald Trump. Missing were two possible candidates considered leading contenders for the nomination: former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and the party’s 2012 nominee, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Trump let it be known that he didn’t think much of the pair. “You can’t have Romney. He choked,” Trump said. “You can’t have Bush. The last thing we need is another Bush.” In addition to Bush and Romney, also absent from the lineup were Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Marco Rubio of Florida. A forum by King, a hardline conservative who has been particularly vocal about opposing immigration reform, could push some would-be candidates further to the right than they want to go on immigration, education, foreign policy and other issues. King’s record of harsh rhetoric toward immigrants in the U.S. illegally drew protesters to his event. Several were escorted out of the forum by police after chanting “If you become president, will you deport our families?” during speeches by Perry and Christie. Amid the interruption, Christie asked the audience, “Don’t they know I’m from New Jersey?” Few political observers would predict Christie, better known nationally for his union and budget battles, to emerge as the favorite among Iowa’s evangelical voters. Yet his appearance Saturday could allow him to make inroads with a group focused as much on ideological purity as defeating the Democrat nominated to follow Obama.

Japan condemns apparent execution by Islamic State Officials seeking to verify video The ASSOCIATED PRESS TOKYO – Japan’s prime minister said Sunday he was “speechless” after an online video purportedly showed that one of two Japanese hostages of the extremist Islamic State group had been killed, and he demanded the release of the other. Shinzo Abe told Japanese broadcaster NHK the video was likely authentic, although he said the government still is reviewing it. Abe offered condoShinzo Abe lences to the family and friends of Haruna Yukawa, a 42-year-old adventurer taken hostage in Syria last year. He declined to comment on the message in the latest video, which demanded a prisoner exchange for the other hostage, journalist Kenji Goto. He said only that the government was still working on the situation, and reiterated that Japan condemns terrorism. “I am left speechless,” he said, stressing he wants Goto released unharmed. “We strongly and totally criticize such acts.” Yukawa’s father, Shoichi, said he hoped “deep in his heart” the news of his son’s killing was not true. “If I am ever reunited with him, I just want to give him a big hug,” he told a group of journalists invited into his house. President Barack Obama

condemned what he called “the brutal murder” of Yukawa, saying in a statement that the United States stands by Japan and calling for Goto’s release. The Associated Press could not verify the contents of the message, which varied greatly from previous videos released by the Islamic State group, which now holds a third of both Syria and Iraq. The Islamic State group had threatened on Tuesday to behead the men within 72 hours unless it received a $200 million ransom. Kyodo News agency reported that Saturday’s video was emailed to Goto’s wife. Patrick Ventrell, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council, said U.S. intelligence officials were also working to confirm whether it was authentic. Abe said after a Cabinet meeting late Saturday that the government of Japan will not succumb to terrorism and will continue to cooperate with the international community in the fight against terrorism. Japanese diplomats left Syria as the civil war there escalated, compounding the difficulty of reaching the militants holding the hostages. Abe spoke by phone with Jordanian King Abdullah II on Saturday, the state-run Petra news agency reported, without elaborating on what they discussed. He also called the two hostages’ families. Goto’s mother, Junko Ishido, told NHK that in the purported message her son “seemed to be taking seriously what may be happening to him as well.” “I’m petrified,” Ishido said. “He has children. I’m praying he will return soon, and that’s all I want.”

At least 30 dead in rocket attack Ukrainian officials defend strategic port as rebels launch offensive The ASSOCIATED PRESS KIEV, Ukraine – Indiscriminate rocket fire slammed into a market, schools, homes and shops Saturday in Ukraine’s southeastern city of Mariupol, killing at least 30 people, authorities said. The Ukrainian president called the blitz a terrorist attack and NATO and the U.S. demanded that Russia stop supporting the rebels. Ukrainian officials rushed to defend the strategically important port on the Sea of Azov, beefing up military positions with more equipment and sending in more forces. The separatists’ top leader declared that an offensive against Mariupol had begun – then later toned down his threats as the scale of the civilian casualties became clear. President Petro Poroshenko held an emergency meeting of his military officials and cut short a trip to Saudi Arabia to coordinate the government’s response. “The time has come to name their sponsors. The help given to militants, weapons deliveries, equipment and the training of manpower – is this not aiding terrorism?” Poroshenko said in a recorded statement. Russia insists it does not

A female resident passes by a burning house Saturday in Mariupol, Ukraine. A crowded open-air market and other sites in the strategically important coastal city came under rocket fire Saturday morning, killing at least 30 people, regional police said. Heavy fighting in the region in the autumn raised fears that Russian-backed separatist forces would try to establish a land link between Russia and Crimea. Pro-Russian separatist forces have positions within six miles of Mariupol’s eastern outskirts. support the rebels, but Western military officials say the sheer number of heavy weapons under rebel control belies that claim. An AP reporter saw convoys of pristine heavy weapons in rebel territory earlier this week. The rocket attacks came a day after the rebels rejected

a peace deal and announced they were going on a multiprong offensive against the government in Kiev to vastly increase their territory. The rebel stance has upended European attempts to mediate an end to the fighting in eastern Ukraine, which the U.N. says has killed nearly 5,100 people since April.

Mariupol, a major city under government control, lies between mainland Russia and the Russia-annexed Crimean Peninsula. Heavy fighting in the region in the fall raised fears that Russian-backed separatist forces would try to capture city to establish a land link between Russia and Crimea.

Meet your local merchant Turnkey Service, Hometown Ties Mark Simonsen was fifteen years old when he started working in the automotive repair business his parents opened in 1970. Since 2007, Mark has taken over the business, Crystal Auto Body in Crystal Lake, with his fiancé Kristine. “We’ve been family-owned for 45 years, we’ve been around a long time and our reputation is very solid,” he said. Crystal Auto Body does auto body repair, painting and mechanical work, but specializes in collision repair. “Our biggest asset is that we handle the claim from start to finish, so the customer doesn’t have to do a thing,” said Mark. Working with customers who are dealing with the aftermath of a collision involves more than repairing a damaged vehicle. Frequently, the customers require a bit of TLC, as well. “Often they’re frazzled because they’ve never been in this situation before. We step up to the plate and let them know they can be confident in us to handle everything. We arrange for the rental car, write the estimate, upload all of the photos for the insurance company, get the authorizations, in addition to ordering the parts and repairing the car,” he said. “We also help pay the people’s deductibles.” Timely, turnkey service is what sets Crystal Auto Body apart. “People like that, because they don’t have time to run around to different places and play phone tag. My goal is to make sure that everyone leaves here happy,” he said. Crystal Auto Body’s nine employees take pride in caring for customers’ cars as if they were their own. “I’ve always loved working on cars, doing repair work and painting. I started working here with my dad, and I’ve been doing it ever since,” said Mark. A life-long Crystal Lake resident,Mark is active in the community, and Crystal Auto Body is an ongoing sponsor of youth football, baseball and hockey teams, through the Raiders, Jr. Wolves and Crystal Ice House programs. “Our family name and Crystal Auto Body are both known in the community. Even if one guy may not know us, there’s a pretty good chance the guy standing next to him, does,” Mark said.

Tide turning in Ebola fight By KRISTA LARSON and MARIA CHENG

Economic hopes raised after European stimulus By PAN PYLAS

The Associated Press

DAKAR, Senegal – A top U.N. official in the fight against Ebola greeted just three patients at one treatment center he visited this week in Sierra Leone. Families in Liberia are no longer required to cremate the remains of loved ones to halt the spread of the virulent disease. And in the streets of Guinea’s capital, it is rare to see the formerly ubiquitous plastic buckets of bleach and water for hand washing. Ten months after it dawned on health officials that they were facing an unprecedented Ebola outbreak in West Africa, experts and officials agree the tide is turning, although previous lulls have proved short-lived. There is still no vaccine or licensed treatment, nor is it clear whether the international community has actually learned any lessons from an epidemic that killed at least 8,675 people. “Things have changed drastically for the better – no one can deny that,” said Aitor Sanchez Lacomba, Liberia country director for the International Rescue Committee. “How can we make sure that we don’t have these kinds of situations in the future?” Previous disease outbreaks, including SARS and bird flu, prompted calls to build strong health surveillance systems and to reinforce agencies like the World Health Organization. But little has changed. After the 2009 swine flu pandemic, WHO commissioned an independent review, which recommended creating a $100 million emergency fund for health crises and beefing up rapid-response health experts. Neither has been done. The human toll of Ebola can be starkly seen in one plot of land in Liberia’s capital where only Ebola victims are buried now. Cards placed on sticks and stuck into the ground carry the names of those who died. One day, families hope they will be replaced with concrete gravestones marking the years of birth and death as sunrise and sunset. “Recriminations are

DAVOS, Switzerland – The global economic outlook just got brighter after this week’s big stimulus from the European Central Bank, leading policymakers from around the world said Saturday. In a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos, they said a perkier Europe, coupled with a prolonged period of low oil prices, could help shore up the global economy following a period of underperformance that has prompted many forecasters to reduce their growth forecasts. “Lower oil prices and the big decision by ECB could further improve world economic outlook,” said Haruhiko Kuroda, governor of the Bank of Japan. The ECB’s planned 1.1 trillion-euro ($1.2 trillion) stimulus has been one of the main talking points at Davos and

General Assembly earlier this week ••• Julius Kamara, a father to two girls who remain home instead of going to school, said sometimes the plastic buckets in Sierra Leone’s capital for hand-washing are now empty. There are fewer checkpoints, restrictions on movements are being lifted but gatherings are banned and bars and clubs are closed. “We are all looking forward to when life can get back to normal,” he said. Sierra Leone plans to reopen schools in March, following Guinea which opened them this week. Liberia is set to reopen schools on Feb. 2. “The epidemic has turned,” Ismael Ould Cheikh Ahmed, the new head of the U.N. Mission for Ebola Emergency Response known as UNMEER, recently declared. The number of cases in Guinea and Sierra Leone is at its lowest since August, and in Liberia it’s the lowest since June. Still, he and other officials

caution that they lack critical information about the cases that do remain. Only about half of new cases in Guinea and Liberia are from known contacts, meaning that the rest are getting infected from unknown sources. No such statistics even exist for Sierra Leone, where deaths are still being underreported because families want to carry out burials in accordance with tradition, which involves touching bodies – one of the quickest ways to spread Ebola. “There are still numbers of new cases that are alarming, and there are hotspots that are emerging in new places that make me believe there is still quite a lot of the disease that we’re not seeing,” said Nabarro, the U.N. Ebola chief. The outbreak has not killed as many people as some predictions. At its height, one estimate warned that as many as 1.4 million people could become infected by mid-January if there were no additional interventions. Instead, the probable, suspected and confirmed case toll is 21,797 with 8,675 deaths. ••• Nearly every agency and government stumbled in its response to Ebola, now expected

SANAA, Yemen – Tens of thousands of Yemenis marched in protest on Saturday against Shiite rebels who hold the capital, amid a power vacuum in a country that is home to what Washington describes as al-Qaida’s most dangerous offshoot. Some 20,000 hit the streets of the capital, Sanaa, where demonstrators converged on the house of President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, who resigned Thursday along with his Cabinet. It was the largest protest since the rebels, known as Houthis, swept into the capital in September.

ZURICH – U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s plan to stop in Nigeria for meetings with the two leading candidates in the upcoming presidential election signals deep U.S. concerns about postelection violence in a country already devastated by an al-Qaida-linked insurgency. Kerry’s expected stopover is in Lagos for a few hours Sunday. State Department officials say Kerry is to hold separate talks with President Goodluck Jonathan and his leading opponent, Muhammadu Buharim, a former Army general. – Wire reports

to cost the three most-affected countries at least $1.6 billion in lost economic growth in 2015. In an internal draft document obtained by The Associated Press last year, WHO acknowledged there was “a failure to see that conditions for explosive spread were present right at the start.” WHO blamed incompetent staff and said it let bureaucratic bungles delay people and money to fight the virus. The document said the agency was hampered by budget cuts and the need to battle other diseases flaring around the world. “We’re always looking to improve and we want to do better next time, so we will listen to what our member states have to say,” said WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl. Brice de le Vingne, director of operations for Doctors Without Borders, said the Ebola outbreak exposed a vacuum in global health leadership. “The world today doesn’t have a proper organization to respond quickly to this kind of catastrophe,” he said. Officials must also think about changing risky cultural practices in future epidemics, said Dr. Peter Piot, director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and co-discoverer of the Ebola virus.

has helped counter some of the pessimism that has enveloped the global economy in the past few weeks. Stock markets around the world have surged amid hopes the ECB move could help boost the ailing economy of the 19-country eurozone. However, Benoit Coeure, an executive board member at the ECB, insisted that on its own, it won’t be enough. He said governments across the region have to enact a raft of structural reforms to their economies, such as making their labor markets more flexible and encouraging businesses to invest. “We have done our part, others have to do their part,” he said. Coeure hoped the stimulus will give governments the space and encouragement to proceed with those measures. “In the case of Europe, being patient is just a risk that we don’t want to take,” he said.

Dignitaries head to Saudi Arabia after king’s death The ASSOCIATED PRESS RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – World leaders and top dignitaries began arriving in Saudi Arabia on Saturday to give their condolences following the death of King Abdullah, who died early Friday at age 90 after nearly two decades at the helm. Despite deep tensions and rivalries between the nations, Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was among the first to arrive to the Sunni-ruled kingdom on Saturday where he was greeted at the airport by the late king’s son, Prince Turki, who is governor of Riyadh. Saudi state TV showed Zarif walking with the prince down a red carpet on the tarmac. The newly enthroned King Salman is also expected to receive in the coming days U.S. President Barack Obama, Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, Japan’s Crown Prince Naruhito, Spain’s King Felipe VI, Jordan’s King Abdul-

lah, Denmark’s Crown Prince Frederik, Dutch King Willem-Alexander, and the United Kingdom’s Prince Charles. Morocco’s Prince Moulay Rachid will pay his respects on the behalf of his brother King Mohammed VI. Talk of Zarif visiting Saudi Arabia last year quickly dissipated after Iran protested comments made by Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal in which he called on Tehran to withdraw its “occupying forces” from Syria, Yemen and Iraq. Iran insists it has no combat forces on the ground in any of the three countries, although it says it has sent senior commanders as advisers to Syria and Iraq. The diplomatic squabble, in many ways, exemplified how Abdullah’s most pressing priority was to confront the Shiite powerhouse across the Gulf. The multiple conflicts across the region deepened Sunni-Shiite hatreds and fueled militancy during his reign.

COMPETITIVE DANCE: DEKALB SECTIONAL

District 155 schools dominate in Class 2A CL Central, C-G and CL South finish 1-2-3 By MIKE DeFABO mdefabo@shawmedia.com DEKALB – The dance teams sat on the hardwood floor at DeKalb High School in tight circles holding hands, hoping. Minutes earlier, they were jumping up and down to the beat of Mark Ronson and Taylor Swift, as they converged on the basketball court after all of the routines were finished.

But now, they were silent as they awaited the results of the sectional dance competition and word that they were one of the top six teams in the classification to go to state. The first three schools in Class 2A were called without any local teams hearing their name. It was impossible to know if they were getting closer to first place or further from the state competition. Then, the good news.

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush

Crystal Lake South, led by captains Nicole Kucera, Emma Koenig, Katherine Siavelis, Lexi Turner and Stephanie Dille, in third with an 86.73. Cary-Grove, led by captain Jaclyn Walters, in second with an 87.1. Finally, Crystal Lake Central in first with an 89.27. The girls dressed in orange and black sprang to their feet in celebration. “It was just amazing. It was incredible,” Crystal Lake Central captain Brittany Hayes said. “Just

knowing that our team went out there and lived up to the full potential that we had. Everything we gave on that floor, it payed off.” It will be the third straight season Crystal Lake Central is going to state. When they travel to U.S. Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington with coach Alli Tevyan, they hope to win it all like they did in 2013. Two more area teams, Johnsburg and Jacobs, share those same goals. In 1A, Johnsburg placed third out of 17 schools with a score of 82.53. Led

by captains Amber Zielke and Sarah Weaver, the team earned its third straight trip to state with a mashup that included “Run the World” by Beyonce and “Lip Gloss” by Lil Mama. “I was actually really shocked because we’ve been beaten by the teams that got fifth place (Rochelle) and sixth place (Sycamore),” Zielke said. “I really didn’t think we had it. Getting third place was such a shock. I was so excited.”

THE 110TH ANNUAL NORGE SKI JUMP TOURNAMENT

Piccolo bond made Bears gig special A significant majority of Bears fans have spent the past week or two celebrating their belief that, this time around, the McCaskeys have gotten it right in retooling the leadership of their football operation. The difference between this and their past four attempts over the past 23 years is the stewardship of Ernie Accorsi. The former general manager of the Baltimore Colts, Cleveland Browns and New York Giants has served as a consultant to the NFL since his retirement after the Ernie Accorsi 2007 season. About 13 years ago, Accorsi and I became friendly after the loss of a close mutual friend and, when we sat down to visit about the arrival in Ryan Pace and John Fox in Chicago and his part in the process, he explained the details of his consulting relationship with the NFL and something else I didn’t know. He also was a good college buddy of Brian Piccolo, a protégé early in his career of George Halas, and he had long dreamed of working with the Bears. Before this, Accorsi had assisted the Atlanta Falcons in the hiring of Thomas Dimitroff and consulted the Carolina Panthers on the hiring of Dave Gettleman as their general managers. “I did that, that (Panthers) was two years ago and it was a lot of work,” Accorsi said. “Not as much work as this. This was pretty intense and I did it, to be honest with you, not to be patronizing but I did it because it was the Bears.” His first connection to the Bears was Piccolo. “Brian and I were in the same dorm at Wake Forest, Davis Dorm.” With a bit of a snicker, Accorsi added, “You know I loved the movie, but James Caan wasn’t Brian. You know, Brian was so humble. I mean, he had a wit, but you had to almost say, ‘What did you say?’ to get the wit out because he was so quiet.” Accorsi recalls one of the benefits of being friends with Piccolo. “There were about probably 10 Catholics on campus at Wake Forest in 1961,” he said. “You know, I went there because I thought I was going to be a big shot golfer and it turned out I couldn’t make the team. “You had to hitchhike to Mass. It was tough to get a ride, but people would take a shortcut through campus to get to the other side of town. So I always asked Piccolo, ‘You know, what Mass are you going to?’ because people, you know, would skid to a stop when they saw him, so I’d be able to get a ride.”

SIGHTS SET ON OLYMPICS Fox River Grove ski jumper A.J. Brown, 19, competing with U.S. teammates By MIKE DeFABO mdefabo@shawmedia.com FOX RIVER GROVE – A.J. Brown’s journey in ski jumping started on a staircase. When he was 3 years old, Brown’s father took him to see a ski jumping competition minutes from his Fox River Grove home at Norge Ski Club. Inspired, he took a running start on the landing of his family’s home and took off, flying over the steps on a 6-foot descent. Sixteen years later, the 19-year-old still is soaring – through the mountain

But first, this Sunday, the Faith Lutheran High School graduate will land on the same 70-meter hill where he got his start. He and his U.S. teammates will compete against teams from Slovenia, Finland and Poland during Norge Ski Club’s 110th annual event … or it’s the 111th. After all these years, it depends who you ask.

I’m just

he Bears had a busy week reassembling their coaching staff. Former Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase will call the plays on offense. Vic Fangio, formerly of the San Francisco 49ers, will be the defensive coordinator. Sports editor Jon Styf and sports reporter Mike DeFabo discuss.

DeFabo: The Bears are a team in transition. If they want to rebuild into a playoff-caliber team, it starts on the defensive side of the ball. That’s why, of all the hires, Fangio is the one that stands out to me. The past four years in San Francisco, his unit ranked in the top 10 in points and yards allowed. The stingy defense was a big reason the 49ers made it to the Super Bowl. He’ll help to bring some of the identity back to a porous Bears defense. Styf: He also had the best linebackers in the league. The Bears ... have nobody there and now will need to fill four spots. The thing I don’t get about this – and I agree with Hub Arkush here – the Bears aren’t close. They thought they were close and then they stunk up the joint with another terrible defensive showing. It seems as if Jay Cutler is now on his 86th offensive coordinator, yet he remains Jay Cutler while the offense around him gets older. They need help in so many places, the Bears have to hope that Fox is in this for the long haul and recognizes how far away they really are. This is a Cubs-type rebuild we’re talking about here. DeFabo: Right. And if you’re starting from scratch, start on defense. That’s what the 49ers did after eight losing seasons in the 2000s. Same with the Seattle Seahawks, who had four losing seasons from 2008 to 2011. Those two teams now have represented the NFC in the past three Super Bowls and helped make the NFC West the toughest division in football. The Bears need to do the same. It’s going to take an experienced coach like the 56-year-old Fangio to mold the young players into productive professionals. Also, if you’re going to knock Fangio for having some of the best linebackers in the league, doesn’t Gase worry you? Being the offensive coordinator for Peyton Manning has to be the easiest job in America. Styf: It’s not a knock. The 49ers did great things schematically as well, but he just won’t have similar talent here to work with. At least not for a while. The Bears’ defense got old, and they picked the wrong guys to be the replacements. Gase isn’t so worrisome because the Bears’ offense isn’t as far away. Marc Trestman always said it’s a process ... but now it really is going to be a long process. DeFabo: It’s hard for me to believe that Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery and Matt Forte are only good enough to be the 23rd-best scoring team in the league. I know Cutler’s 24 turnovers don’t help that number much. But if Gase can work in more quick, safe passes like the Broncos used, they might just be playing meaningful football in December ... or at least November.

When Bret Mooney, the 2013 Northwest Herald Football Player of the Year, was being recruited by Colgate, he sensed he had a chance to get on the field right away as a freshman. Mooney was right. The Jacobs grad started five games last fall for the Raiders, replacing injured sophomore quarterback Jake Melville midway through the season. In five games, he made some plays, although it came with a fair share of growing pains. He threw for 644 yards, completing 48 of 108 passes, along with one touchdown and seven interceptions. He also rushed for 58 yards and one touchdown. His first scoring toss came in a Nov. 1 game at Fordham when he found sophomore receiver John Maddaluna for a 32-yard touchdown. Colgate finished the season 5-7. As Mooney preps for his sophomore season, he’ll have the chance in spring practice and fall camp to beat out Melville for the starting job. Before spring practice, he said he’s studying his playbook and watching film and looking to add weight. Listed at 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds last season, he hopes to weigh in at 220 or 225 pounds.

I didn’t come here thinking I was going to start, but I came here thinking I wanted to get that starting position. It went all right. I thought I played well. There are things I could do better. But as far as being a freshman, I thought I played pretty well. So we’ll see how it goes in the spring.

As far as what I need to do [to win the quarterback battle], I need to learn the offense a little more. I need to critique the things I did in film and come back more mature than I was this year. I really think the biggest part is learning the offense and getting into the flow of things.

It’s probably one of the toughest times of your life in college, being in your first semester of school while playing football. You’re away from your parents, so you really have got to be more responsible, mature. It’s a great time, but also a tough time. But you have to get through it. Most football players have to do it. Just my knowledge of the game. That’s what I really need to improve upon. Physically, I’m not quite there, but I think I’m pretty close. With my knowledge of football, if I can increase that as the season approaches, that’d be awesome. I think that’d help me the best. To improve mentally more so than physically. The hardest part is the knowledge of the game, calling plays, things like that. You’ve got to really work on that. Running the ball, I probably ran it more than I did in high school. I mean, I liked it.

Our offenses is the read option, so we’re going to run the ball a good amount of times. That was expected. I was beat up a few games, but that comes with football. That’ll lessen the bigger, faster and stronger I get as I go along.

Benoit confidently stepped to the line, with one thing in her head, as she sank the second shot for the game-winning point as Hampshire beat the Green Wave, 36-35, in a nonconference matchup. “I knew, no matter what, that my teammates had my back,” Benoit said. “I think that made it easier, but, after missing the first one, there was a little bit more pressure.” After taking a nine-point lead into halftime, the WhipPurs (15-5), had some untimely turnovers and missed some fourth-quarter free throws (2 for 8 in the fourth) to allow St. Edward back into the game. Fortunately for Hampshire, one of those two free throws made in the fourth was Beno-

Straight points scored by St. Edward’s Kelvin Cortez-Harvey in the fourth quarter as the Green Wave boys beat Hampshire, 61-59.

q THE BIG PLAY

After Matt Bridges gave Hampshire a 41-39 lead with 2:45 left, CortezHarvey scored and then stole the ball twice in a row coming out of a Hampshire timeout, which forced yet another Whip-Purs timeout. Hampshire did not lead at any point after that. it’s game-winner. “We really did some things uncharacteristic of us tonight,” Hampshire coach Mike Featherly said. “The turnovers were something that just can’t happen. I’m proud of the way the girls held on tonight, but we’re not going to win too many games with that high of a turnover count.” That count finished at 27 turnovers for the game. Benoit not only made the decisive play, but also guarded St. Edward’s 6-foot-3 center,

St. Edward 51, Hampshire 49: In the nightcap of the fivegame “Pack the Place” event at Hampshire, the boys team also took on St. Edward, but could not hold onto a late lead. Matt Bridges, who battled foul trouble in the first half, made some big plays in the second half. Those plays included scoring the last five points of the third quarter to narrow a Green Wave lead down to two. The key moment of the game seemed to be after another play made by Bridges. The senior guard made a layup with 2:45 to play to give the Whip-Purs the advantage. That was when St. Edward sophomore Kelvin Cortez-Harvey decided the Green Wave were not going to lose the game. Cortez-Harvey scored 12 straight points after Hampshire took the lead, forcing two separate timeouts by Hampshire coach Bob Barnett during that stretch. “Once we took the lead, we didn’t defend,” Barnett said. “Then we turned the ball over a couple times and that’s what really hurt us. We didn’t shoot well either and that’s something we will have to look at as well.” Bridges finished with a team-high 15 points and Drew Doran added 11 for Hampshire (13-4), while Cortez-Harvey had a game-high 21 points.

HAMPSHIRE HONORS JAKE GOEBBERT

‘I will always be a Whip-Pur’ By CHRIS CASEY ccasey@shawmedia.com

Log on to NWHerald.com to watch Jake Goebbert address the Hampshire crowd during Saturday night’s ceremony. to-ear from the moment the jersey was unveiled. As Goebbert took to the microphone to address the crowd, he knew emotions would take over at some point. Fortunately, for Jake, he had “his rock” Heather by his side, as he addressed the full Jake Goebbert house. “A lot of people don’t know this,” Goebbert said, “but this has always been a dream of mine. I’ve gone through a lot to get where I am today and nights like tonight make everything worth it.” Whether it be the crowd that came out to see Goebbert’s ceremony or the student section’s chants of “M-V-P,” the 2006 Hampshire graduate was almost at a loss for words, as the ceremony itself took Jake

a bit by surprise. As Goebbert finished his speech, he wanted to leave the crowd with one final message. After spending his time in the minor leagues and being passed around a few Major League organizations, Goebbert never, ever will forget where his home is. “I’ve spent my time in the minor leagues,” Goebbert said. “I’ve been a Houston Astro, I’ve been an Oakland Athletic, and now I’ve been a San Diego Padre, but I will always be a Whip-Pur.” As far as his baseball career in concerned, Goebbert will head to spring training Feb. 10, when he will begin workouts and try to make the major league roster. If not, the next move would be to Triple-A in El Paso, where, as Goebbert described, the work is never done. “There’s a saying in baseball,” Goebbert explained, “when you think you’re in, you’re out, and when you think you’re out, you’re in. So, we have a lot to look forward to and you never know what can happen.”

Jacobs advances to state in Class 3A hour competition. “It was so hard to get here,” MacMillan said. “But we made it.” “It’s so great to make it our fourth straight year,” Orencia added. “I’m so thankful that we have the team and the great coaches.” Several area teams felt the heartbreak of coming close, butfinishingjustshortofstate.

HAMPSHIRE – As Jake Goebbert pulled the banner off of his No. 4 San Diego Padres jersey Saturday night at Hampshire High School, the 27-year-old was overcome with emotion. He had known this moment was going to happen for some time, but nothing could prepare for the actual event. Hampshire unveiled Goebbert’s jersey as part of its “Pack the Place” day, as the Hampshire graduate’s Major League jersey will hang in his honor. “Today was one of the most special experiences of my life,” Goebbert said. “The Hampshire community has always been a main focus of mine, because they have given me so much as far as the small town roots. That is something very rare to find nowadays and I can’t thank everyone enough.” Goebbert and his wife, Heather, stood at center court in between the girls and boys varsity contests against St. Edward. The two of them had nothing but smiles from ear-

won the 400 freestyle relay in 3:20.61. Winning individuals for the Warriors were Smith in the 200 individual medley (2:12.44), Josh Zabor in the sophomore 50 freestyle (24.61), Josh Frost in the 100 backstroke (1:00.25) and Gavin Dunn in the 100 breaststroke (1:11.15).

Maciek Kalina, Charles Hartnett, Nolan Hare and Anthony Zavala won the medley relay and Hare, Hartnett, Zavala and David Fejer won the freestyle relay. “The team is very young,” C-G JV coach Scott Lattyak said. “I was pretty impressed with those times.” Woodstock’s best finish was third in the 100 butterfly by Joe Miceli in 59.62. “[Miceli’s] really come on strong,” Woodstock coach Ian Shanahan said. “That’s the first time he’s ever broke a minute in his life.”

It was the first time they had been under 1:30 this season and it was the 14th fastest time in the state this season, according to wildkitaquatics.com. “I’m really excited for our team,” Braun said. “A lot of people are going to go to state this year.” Schopen said breaking the 1:30 barrier was a huge boost. “After [Saturday], we’re pretty confident,” Schopen said. Warriors coach Craig Fowles is confident but still knows they have a ways to go even after swimming their best time. He’s hoping putting on technical suits for sectionals will give them added confidence. “It affects them,” Fowles said of the suits. “It makes them think they are quick and invincible. It’s powerful.” That Warriors’ team also

BOYS BASKETBALL: MARENGO 78, ROCKFORD CHRISTIAN 68

STANDOUT STATS

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com MARENGO – Marengo junior Zach Knobloch darted around a screen on the right baseline, caught a pass and let fly with a fadeaway 3-pointer, while picking up some contact. Knobloch fell out of bounds; the ball hit nothing but net … just like it did for much of the night. Rockford Christian had scored the first three baskets of the second half to grab a one-point lead, but Knobloch’s flurry of two 3s, sandwiched around a 15-foot jumper, took care of that in a span of 1:20. The Royal Lions did not get that close again. Marengo eventually put the game away with clutch free-throw shooting from senior guard Weston Shepard, grabbing a 78-68 Big Northern Conference East Division boys basketball victory Saturday at Homer “Bill” Barry Gymnasium. “It felt great. My teammates set good screens for me and got me open,” said Knobloch, who got some extra rest for the first minute of the third quarter, when Rockford Christian took the lead. “I’d just come off the bench and it got me started to make shots. We were kind of down and that brought us back.” The win puts Marengo (17-3 overall, 5-1 BNC East) in a tie with Genoa-Kingston for the division lead. The Indians host Johnsburg on Tuesday, then travel to G-K on Friday. Knobloch finished with 33 points and eight 3-pointers for the game, two days after dropping 35 points and nine 3s on North Boone in a 90-45 win. Knobloch was 12 of 23 for the game and hit five consecutive

shots – four or which were 3s – in a span of 4:10 in the third quarter. “He’s tough to stop,” Indians coach Nate Wright said. “He’s getting to the point when they’re in his face, he gets to the hole gets floaters. We have a great team and they have a lot of fun together and have accepted their roles very well. They’re all setting screens and not afraid to put their body on the line for him.”

Knobloch appreciates their efforts. “[Rockford Christian] was making big shots, we fought back and knocked down shots to answer them,” he said. The Royal Lions (10-7, 2-4) kept the game within reach by hitting shots themselves. Forward Nick Kuchenreuther scored 12 of his team-high 22 in the fourth quarter and Caleb Bubnack hit four 3s and finished with 20. Rockford Christian got as close as 61-56 with 4:50 remaining, but Shepard slipped through for a back-door layup, then started a string of 10 consecutive free throws.

“We can all shoot free throws, it just happened that the ball got in my hands,” said Shepard, who scored 16 points. “It was taking care of the ball and being strong so we didn’t turn it over. At the end of the game, I got in that zone where it’s the same shooting form and motion.” Wright was pleased to see his third-year starting point guard continue knocking down free throws. “He knows the ball needs to be in his hands,” Wright said. “Weston knows he’s going to get fouled there and he’s able to handle the pressure a little bit. You shoot free throws

in practice and hit 10, 12 in a row and get hot, it’s good to go back to the same spot every time.” Rockford Christian coach Isaiah Smith tried to have 6-foot-7 center Brandon Williams defend Knobloch so he had to shoot over a bigger player, but not much could slow him down. “We stuck Brandon on him early to give him a bigger target to shoot over,” Smith said. “We needed to help. They run him off a lot of screens. We needed to do a better job helping Brandon. We played well in spurts, we just didn’t play well long enough.”

NFL

Belichick: ‘We try to do everything right’ By JIMMY GOLEN The Associated Press

Kyle Grillot – kgrillot@shawmedia.com

A.J. Brown of Fox River Grove rides in the back of a van toward the top of the ski hill during a practice Friday at the Norge Ski Club in Fox River Grove in preparation for the 110th annual International ski jumping competition. Brown, 19, first started ski jumping when he was three years old, and is now a member of the USA Junior National team.

Brown took 3rd at Junior Nationals at ages 16, 17 • BROWN Continued from page C1 Throughout all of its years, the Fox River Grove club has been training athletes just like Brown. He quickly graduated from the staircase to a side hill at Norge with a small bump, no bigger than a foot tall. Gradually, he advanced to the 10-meter hill, the 20-meter hill, the 40-meter hill and finally, at just 9 years old he was ready for the 70-meter hill. Wind whizzed by his ears and butterflies filled his stomach, as he sped down the jump with his knees bent and back flattened. He never had skied down a hill so big or flown so fast. “It was exhilarating,” he said. “Once you get to the bottom, any ski jumper will say you just want to do it again and keep doing it because it’s so much fun.” Just thinking of that first jump brings a bright white smile to the bearded face of the self-proclaimed “thrill seeker.” The light brown curls peek out of his ski cap as he talks about cliff jumping during trips to Europe with his teammates with the slow cadence of a ski bum. Yet, he’s no ski bum. He trains six days a week with the vigor of a world-class athlete. Sprints for speed and quickness during the takeoff. Balance drills for coordination. And weights for strength. He diets like a wrestler. At just a little taller than 6-feet, the international ski federation, FIS, mandates that athletes of his size are at least 148 pounds. He’s at about 149 right now, to maximize his flight. And he travels the world like a rockstar on a world tour, hopping a plane or a bus every few days for one competition after another. He hasn’t been in the same place for more than a week since December. On Thursday he was in Wisconsin. Before that, Minnesota. Before that, Park City, Utah, where he lives for most of the year with the rest of the U.S. Junior National Team, training under 2002 and 2006 winter Olympian Clint Jones. “I’ve already been so many places,” he said. “I know kids my age who haven’t even left their state.”

If you go When: Noon to 4 p.m. Sunday What: Teams from the U.S., Slovenia, Finland and Poland will compete on 70-meter hill. Price: $15 entrance buttons at gate; free admission for children 12 and younger Transportation: Free Shuttle Busses will run from 11 a.m. to 5 pm. Shuttle Bus stops will be made at the Metra Train Station in Fox River Grove as well as the Stonehill Shopping Center parking lot at the intersection of Northwest Highway (Route 14) and Route 22.

Brown has enjoyed experiences of a man twice his age. And has knees like a man twice his age as well, a symptom he calls “old-man body at the age of 19.” “I might need a knee replacement by the time I’m 40,” he laughs, but saying he considers flying down a 120-foot hill at 60 mph no more dangerous than most sports. Safer than football, in fact. “The crashes are few and far between,” he said, knocking on the wooden bar in the Norge Ski Club, just in case. His one major fall came when he was 13 in Utah. The wind caught the tip of his ski and he flipped. Brown crashed onto his back, breaking two bones in his left arm, two ribs and his collarbone. The injury didn’t deter him one bit. The day he got his cast off, he was back on the hill with an arm brace and a figure-8 brace to support his collarbone. Not long after, he recorded his fartherest jump (137 meters) at Iron Mountain in Michigan at 15. He claimed third at Junior Nationals when he was 16 and 17. Brown has his sights set on the 2018 Olympics. But in the meantime, he hopes to put U.S. ski jumping on the map by making the World Cup. (Not to mention, impress at the Norge competition Sunday.) “My goal is to be a competitive World Cup-level jumper and start putting the U.S. on the map and maybe get it a little bit more popular over here.” The best way to accomplish that? As the 3-year-old in Brown knows: step by step.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Saying his team “followed every rule to the letter,” New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick described in detail how his team prepares its footballs on game day and defended his players from chatter that they made it to the Super Bowl by cheating. “At no time was there any intent whatsoever to try to compromise the integrity of the game or to gain an advantage,” Belichick said in an unscheduled availability Saturday, eight days before the Patriots will play the Seattle Seahawks for the NFL championship. “Quite the opposite: we feel like we followed the rules of the game to the letter,” he said. “We try to do everything right. We err on the side of caution. It’s been that way now for many years. Anything that’s

close, we stay as far away from the line as we can.” Speaking once again with authority on a topic he previously professed ignorance of, Belichick said the team conducted an internal study on the process of getting game balls ready. Most of the steps are designed to make Bill Belichick them tackier, which has a noticeable effect on how it feels, he said, but the process could also affect the pressure inside the ball, which is harder to tell by touch. “I’m not a scientist. I’m not an expert in footballs; I’m not an expert in football measurements,” Belichick said. “I’m just telling you what I know.” The Patriots reached the Super Bowl for the sixth time in Belichick’s tenure when they beat the Colts, 45-7, in the

sending in signals from the sidelines. Belichick denied that there is a pattern of rule-breaking, or even of pushing the rules to their limit. A football lifer who only seems happy on the sidelines, if at all, Belichick is known for an absolute attention to detail that prepares his team for every imaginable situation. But instead of getting ready for the Super Bowl, he said he has spent far too much time the past week studying the science and learning about “bladders, air gauges, stitching, pressure, game day football preparation, rubdowns and so forth.” “I’m embarrassed to talk about the amount of time that I’ve put into this relative to the other important challenge in front of us,” he said. “It sounds simple, and I’m not trying to say that we’re trying to land a guy on the moon, but there are a lot of things here that are a little hard to get a handle on.”

Tired of the Consistent Pain and Numbness in Your Legs? Neck? Back?

Many people try to wait their back pain out only to ﬁnd that it keeps getting worse. They buy new mattresses, try different stretching exercises, learn new techniques for sitting and standing, etc., only to ﬁnd that their condition doesn’t improve. If it’s a true disc problem, waiting will only make it worse.

AFC championship game Sunday. But later that night, Indianapolis TV station WTHR reported that some of the game balls provided by New England for the use of its offense weren’t sufficiently inflated. The NFL said its initial investigation confirmed that some of the footballs used in the first half of the conference title game were underinflated. On Thursday, Belichick deferred questions on the game balls to Brady; the quarterback also denied any impropriety. But in the slow news offdays before Super Bowl week, the allegations received disproportionate attention – and Twitter hashtags such as “Deflategate” and “Ballghazi” – along with comparisons to the videotaping scandal of 2007, when the Patriots were hit with unprecedented penalties after Belichick was caught recording opposing coaches

BLACKHAWKS

Hawks embrace role as standard-bearers By MARK LAZERUS

Hawks’ year-by-year records since NHL 2004-05 strike

mlazerus@suntimes.com COLUMBUS, Ohio – Shea Weber still remembers the first time he played in Chicago and the electric atmosphere created by the big, boisterous crowd. Less than two months later, he played his first game at the United Center. “It’s kind of crazy,” said Weber, now an All-Star defenseman for the Nashville Predators. “My first year, I got a chance to play for [the Milwaukee Admirals] against the Wolves and go to that game, which had 10,000 or 11,000 fans packed in that stadium. Then I got called up and played against the Blackhawks, and I don’t even think there were 10,000. At least, it didn’t look like it in the United Center because it’s so big.” Weber’s memory is as sharp as his shot. On Jan. 21, 2006, his Admirals played in front of 11,124 fans at Allstate Arena. Six weeks later, his Predators played before an announced (probably exaggerated) crowd of 9,333 at the United Center. “It’s crazy because you go there

* – Stanley Cup championship # – Season still going now, and it’s electric,” Weber said. “Everyone loves playing there. Just sitting there during the anthem with the crowd going nuts, it’s special.” As a veteran of the Central Division, Weber has had a front-row seat to the remarkable culture change that has turned Chicago into a hock-

ey town in the past six or seven seasons. But nearly every veteran in the league has a story like that. Even the Hawks themselves marvel at the turnaround. Patrick Kane and Duncan Keith, now rock stars in Chicago and two of the most decorated players in the NHL, told stories Friday about watching preseason games from the stands with a few thousand other people and not being recognized. “If you did that now, you’d probably get mobbed,” Kane said. The rest of North America, meanwhile, is growing weary. Fans around the league are furious that Hawks fans stuffed the ballot box for the All-Star Game on Sunday, giving five of the six starter spots to Kane, Keith, Jonathan Toews, Brent Seabrook and Corey Crawford and thereby forcing out other players. Toews is a team captain at the game. And the Hawks will play another outdoor game next season – Feb. 21, 2016, at TCF Bank Stadium in Minnesota – their third in less than two years and record fourth overall. The Hawks are the NHL’s standard-bearers, the favored sons, commissioner Gary Bettman’s golden

children. Such a thing was unthinkable not too long ago. “Watching that thing all develop and being there at the beginning was kind of a neat thing,” former Hawks defenseman and current Winnipeg Jets star Dustin Byfuglien said. “It doesn’t surprise me.” Wild defenseman Ryan Suter, a low-key guy, marveled at how the Hawks handle their expanded role in the NHL. All-Star media day Friday was an unusual chore for Suter, but it was just another day in the life of Toews and Kane. Whether it’s an All-Star Game, a Winter Classic, a Stanley Cup Final, two all-access documentaries in less than a year, charity and sponsor events or an endless onslaught of local and national media, the Hawks deal with far more than just hockey. “They’re so good at managing all the stuff they do, whether it’s marketing stuff or media stuff,” Suter said. “And to be able to flip the switch and go play the way they play, it’s pretty impressive. All the guys in Chicago, not just those two. That’s a lot of stuff they’re dealing with, and it probably does take a toll on you after a while.”

BULLS

Noah finding way back By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com This isn’t how Bulls center Joakim Noah envisioned his season going. Not after earning back-to-back All-Star appearances in 2013 and 2014 and being named Defensive Player of the Year last season. With Derrick Rose injured and Pau Gasol still with the Los Angeles Lakers, Noah was a jack-of-all-trades last season. He averaged career highs in points (12.6), rebounds (11.3) and assists (5.4). This season has been a different story, Joakim Noah though. Noah’s minutes are down, because of an offseason knee surgery that has been a seasonlong problem, and his numbers – 7.6 points on a career-low 44.4 percent shooting, 9.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists – are down, too. Offensively, he has looked out of place at times, especially when sharing the court with Gasol. That’s why coach Tom Thibodeau is watching Noah and keeping all options open. If that means eventually moving Noah from starter to reserve, so be it. “Just trying to figure out what’s best to get him going at his highest level,” Thibodeau said. “We have to get that improved. We’ll look at everything – his minutes, what makes the most sense. We know how important Jo is to our team. We’re not ruling anything out.” After missing four games with a sprained right ankle, Noah returned to the lineup in the Bulls’ 102-98 victory Friday against the Dallas Mavericks. He did so as a starter, scoring six points, grabbing seven rebounds and blocking two shots. The ankle held up, the energy was high and the smile afterward was huge.

The White Sox’s Adam Eaton (right) has some help on the way after the Sox added base-stealing great Vince Coleman as a baserunning coach Saturday. Coleman topped 100 steals in each of his first three seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals.

WHITE SOX

Coleman hired as baserunning coach By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com Adam Eaton’s base-stealing shortcomings were a sensitive issue with the White Sox center fielder last year. Eaton expected more of himself, but just didn’t meet the standards he had established for himself as a minor-leaguer. “One thing you learn at this level, there are a lot more layers [to base stealing],’’ said Eaton, who stole 15 bases in 24 attempts. “A lot more finesse and baserunning smarts that go into it.” Well, help is on the way. The Sox have added base-stealing great Vince Coleman as a baserunning coach, general manager Rick Hahn announced Saturday at SoxFest. It’s an addition that can’t hurt. Coleman topped 100 steals in each of his first three seasons in the majors as a St. Louis Cardinal and ranks sixth alltime with 752. Coleman will be at spring training and will move around between the major-league team and minors during the season. He’ll spend time

with Eaton, Micah Johnson – who stole 84 bases in the minors two years ago before hamstring issues limited him to 22 last season – among others. “Hopefully, he’ll draw out a little more in certain players,’’ Hahn said, mentioning those two. “It’s a real good get as far as rounding out our staffing.” Eaton is all for it. “Any help that I can get in any aspect of baseball is always help wanted,” he said after getting word that Coleman was coming. Already ranked among baseball’s top 10 center fielders overall by most metrics analysts, Eaton batted .300 with 10 triples and a .362 on-base percentage that ranked fifth among AL outfielders. He would add to his value even more if he were to become a more-proficient base-stealer. Hamstring issues hindered him at times last year, particularly when the team opened the season in colder weather, so that played into his limitations. He said his goal for this season was to steal 40 bases before Coleman was hired. With Coleman on board, he said he might raise the bar.

“He’s still a young player learning some at the big-league level,” Hahn said. “He has some track record of success as a base-stealer in the minors. His job is to get on base and score runs, so when he’s making outs on the bases, it counteracts some of the benefit he brings.’’ It didn’t take long for Eaton to become a fan favorite because of his hustling style and go-get-em attitude. He played to the crowd Saturday at SoxFest, surprising and interviewing fans in autograph lines and getting autographs himself from teammates. He wants to please them more by being a bigger threat on the bases. To that end he has worked on his quickness and speed enhancement. Eaton worked under the watch of former major-leaguers Joel Youngblood and Brett Butler in the D’backs’ system, so it’s not as if he hasn’t been schooled. The prospect of Johnson (who has a job to win at second base first) batting ninth and Eaton first sets up a threatening tandem and sleeker, faster look on the South Side. The fact remains that they have 15 major-league steals between them.

Reynolds always admired Banks • MUSICK Continued from page C1 Did he remember Banks’ final atbat? “No, not really,” Reynolds, 68, said with a chuckle. “But I remember Ernie Banks. Who could not remember Ernie Banks? He was always a happy-go-lucky guy. Always talking. ‘Let’s play two.’ He was a pleasure to play against. “He was so enthusiastic about the game. He wasn’t out there to make money or anything. He was out there to have a good time playing the game of baseball.” In that respect, he was not so different than the young pitcher with the Phillies. Banks was a first-ballot inductee into the Hall of Fame in 1977. He is the greatest player in Cubs history and one of the most beloved players in the game’s history. Reynolds’ career was much less memorable. He went 7-29 with a 4.46 ERA in 103 appearances (51 starts) with Philadelphia, Milwaukee, St. Louis and San Diego. Banks forever will be remembered as Mr. Cub. As for Reynolds? Well, he always will be known as Mr. Reynolds. That’s because he found his true calling as a high school teacher. “I don’t think I really fit the way Major League players were back then, I guess you could say,” Reynolds said. “It was a different breed in the ’70s than it is now. I don’t know how I can say this – I was not a drinker or smoker or swearer, and that seemed to go on a lot in baseball. I kind of felt out of place with it.” Banks was different, Reynolds said. Banks was one of the good guys. Reynolds felt right at place at Marlborough High School in Marlborough, Massachusetts. He led a program called Project Adventure, which featured outdoor physical education. He retired in 2010 after more than three decades at the school. “We’d do problem solving with students early in the classes,” Reynolds said. “We’d teach them to work together to solve problems. We’d do trust activities. “Eventually, we would start working our way off the ground: Climbing high elements up to 40 feet in the air; walking across logs and wires; we’d even go on a rock-climbing field trip. We did cross-country skiing in the wintertime, canoeing in the spring. It was mainly to teach people how to work together as a group.” Every now and then, Reynolds reflects on his time in baseball. He pitched against some incredible players such as Banks, Hank Aaron and Roberto Clemente. He remained active in the game for a while, serving as a short-season minor-league pitching instructor for the Cubs during his summer breaks from 1985 to 1989. Reynolds loved playing at Wrigley. “It was quaint,” Reynolds said. “The fans were right there with you. It seemed like they were on the field with you. They don’t have that connection with the fans anymore, I don’t think, in the newer parks.” And he always admired Banks, long after that final at-bat. “Back in those days, you couldn’t fraternize with the other team,” Reynolds said. “The umpires would sit in the stands and watch batting practice to see if you were talking to the other team. If you were, you’d get fined. “About the only time you got to talk to Ernie Banks is when you got on first base. At the end of his career, he was playing first base. He would talk to everybody. “He was very enthusiastic about the game. That’s what I liked most about him.”

Opportunity to consult for Bears was an easy call for Accorsi • ARKUSH Continued from page C1 Here is another one of Accorsi’s favorite Piccolo stories: “Freshmen had their own schedule, were not eligible for varsity and they played Friday nights,” Accorsi said. “So, I’m sitting on a chair and he’s sitting on the bed in the fall of ’61 and he says his ankle’s all swollen, he can’t even get his shoe on, and he says ‘This is the first time I’ve ever been hurt in my life and I knew I was going to get hurt.’ I said, ‘What do you mean you knew

you were going to get hurt?’ He said, ‘because I ate meat on Friday for the first time in my life.’ “Now, you know he didn’t say it as a joke. He did it in almost a child-like way and he was just the sweetest guy in the world. He just never changed. We weren’t inseparable brothers, but we were pretty good friends.” Accorsi said that, when the opportunity to consult for the Bears came along, it was a pretty easy call. “I’m just very historically conscious,” he said. “You know, I walked in that office

(Halas Hall) every day and saw all those retired numbers, I saw Brian’s up there and it just mean a lot to me, so that’s why I did it.” Additionally, there was his admiration of Papa Bear. “When I worked at the league office, my title was assistant to the president of the NFC. Those jobs don’t exist any more, and I worked for (Pete) Rozelle, but you know George Halas was the president. It was a ceremonial position, basically, but he would do check presentations and hand out the trophy. “Well, one day we took a

car over to Sloan-Kettering and it was 1975. Ed McCaskey was in the back seat, I was in the back seat, and Mr. Halas was in the front to make a check presentation for the Brian Piccolo Cancer Fund to Dr. Ted Beatti, who was Brian’s doctor at Sloan-Kettering. “I was in the background, I just stood there with Ed and he (Halas) was talking to Beatti and they made the presentation. Halas was in the front seat going back and he was very quiet. Then he turned around to us and said, ‘I talked to Dr. Beatti, they could have cured Brian today,’ and tears

were coming down his eyes. “You know, he’d ask me about Brian and what he was like and everything and I said, ‘You know, I didn’t see all that busting the chops personality. He was so quiet and humble then.’ “... all that really added to it when the Bears called. You know, I worked for the Colts, Giants and Browns and adding the Bears to that, it means a lot to me.” In large part, it might have meant so much to Accorsi as much because of Halas as Piccolo. “You know, Mr. Halas, I

was a nobody, I was as low as you could get on the totem pole with Rozelle (working in the league office) and he (Halas) took a special interest in me because of Piccolo. So, I said, ‘You know, if I’m not going to do this any more, this would be a great one to go out on.’ ” Right about now, an awful lot of Bears fans are glad the Bears and Accorsi found each other again.

LAW Brad Stewart

McDonald’s suit a reminder of labor law liability In July 2014, the National Labor Relations Board’s General Counsel determined that McDonald’s USA LLC is a joint employer that could be held jointly liable for labor law violations committed by its franchisees. In December 2014, the NLRB followed up by filing 13 complaints against franchisees and McDonald’s for alleged violations at franchise locations. The NLRB is seeking to challenge the existing legal standard by which administrative courts determine if joint liability should attach to a franchisor. The current standard is to examine several factors involving direct employee control, such as hiring, firing, promoting, disciplining, and scheduling. The NLRB’s proposed standard would examine whether the franchisor “possessed and/or exercised control over the labor relations policies” of the franchisee to be considered a joint employer for alleged labor violations. The practical effect of NLRB’s proposed standard, if adopted, is that franchisers could be held liable for employment decisions that they were in no direct way involved in making or even aware took place. While the NLRB’s current complaints against McDonald’s will be heard in administrative court, not in the general court system, the tendrils of the NLRB proposed standard could very well have implications in civil lawsuits. Appeals from the administrative court will likely reach the federal court system and possibly the Supreme Court. Depending on the facts and issued involved in cases that are appealed, precedent may be set that applies the NLRB standard or a new rendition of the joint employer standard to civil lawsuits. Additionally, the scope of how franchisers may be considered joint employers could expand beyond laborbased lawsuits into any number of areas of potential liability for a business entity. The legal standard of determining liability in personal injury and contract cases against business entities is contingent, in many cases, on identifying whether the wrongful act was committed by a controlled agent or employee of the business, or whether the wrongful act was committed by an independent contractor of the entity. In general terms, entities are more likely to be held liable for actions of controlled agents/ employees and less likely to be held liable for actions of independent contractors. What degree of control the entity has over the agent and whether the agent is controlled or independent is determined on the specific facts of each case. A franchise agreement is a contract which, by its nature, creates some distance of control between the franchiser and the franchisee over operations of the franchisee’s business. A shift in the paradigm of how control is defined, which is what the NLRB’s interpretation is seeking to enact, may close the distance that many franchisees and other contract employees are legally considered to have from the franchiser or contracting entity. In other words, having a piece of paper that says a subcontractor or franchisee is independent from the contracting entity may mean less in the future when determining whether the contracting entity is, in fact, a joint employer. Several methods to better separate control between contracting parties are available, such as clear policies printed and posted at worksites and in employee manuals, as well as clearly defining responsibilities over workers in those contracts that are intended to establish independent contractor status. Additional clarity will be needed from the court system before knowing how much may change in defining joint employer status. Franchisers and other contractors should strongly consider revisiting the language in any agreements that are believed to separate the contracting entity from responsibility and liability for the subcontractor or franchisee’s actions.

A Charter Dura-Bar employee clears off slag from the top of a container of molten iron inside the company’s Woodstock facility. Since buying the Woodstock company in 2012, Charter Manufacturing Co. has invested about $7 million into Dura-Bar and plans to double revenue by 2018.

Chartering growth With new owner, Woodstock’s Dura-Bar aims to double revenue By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Inside the Charter Dura-Bar building along Route 14, workers wearing protective jackets and masks handle molten iron. Eventually, the molten iron flows through a graphite die, where the iron turns into bars that are 6 or 12 feet long. Workers are making continuous cast iron bar stock, which is then sold to businesses in the hydraulics, construction and automotive industries, among others. Since 2012, the Dura-Bar business has been operating as part of Charter Manufacturing Co., after the family business acquired Dura-Bar from Wells Manufacturing. “From a Charter standpoint,

we’re a fourth-generation family business; all of our manufacturing businesses are in primary metal industries,” said Peter Murray, vice president and general manager for Charter DuraBar. “We were looking for a new business that would be a platform to help grow the company. ... And [this] business, from a cultural standpoint, was good fit for our company.” In 2012, Dura-Bar had 365 employees. By the end of 2014, it had 400 employees. “The reality is this was a business Charter identified as a platform to grow,” Murray said. “This wasn’t a consolidation, it didn’t overlap with other businesses within Charter. It was truly a stand alone business that

Facing global competition, Hebron company finds niche By SARAH STRZALKA

Keystone Display Inc.

editorial@nwherald.com HEBRON – It’s typically quiet at the intersection of routes 47 and 173 in Hebron, providing little indication of the hum of almost constant activity about a block away. At Keystone Display, employees are at work nearly around the clock on weekdays, producing the metal displays found in stores that hold myriad items – candy, mugs, socks, spray paint, screwdrivers. On a weekday morning at one station, women were assembling a small metal display about a foot tall and 8 inches wide that will be used to stock aquarium supplies and fish food. Nearby, two men worked on a display almost 5 feet tall – big enough for Fiskars lawn and garden tools. Little enough to sit on a counter top or large enough to fit on warehouse racks, Keystone creates displays from start to finish,

But the metal shortage during World War II put the company out of business until the early 1950s, when it started up again, this time just a few miles away from the Wisconsin border. “We’re right in downtown Hebron; it’s a good place right near two highways, 173 and 47,” Streit said. “Having the access for freight is good for viability.”

Cautious spending will bring budget back on track Dear Dave, My mom and dad always told me to live below my means, but they never showed me how to make it happen. I’ve gotten out of debt and fallen back in several times. I want to get control of my money and stop busting my budget. How do I keep from falling back again?

– Sandi

Dear Sandi, It sounds like you’ve taken a serious look at your situation, and you’re smart enough to know it’s not working and you want to do things differently. Well, this is a great time of the year for changes. Years ago when I crashed and

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey burned financially, there were a few strong emotions that spurred me toward change. One of those was disgust. I realized that what I was doing was stupid, and that I was tired of living that way. I made a conscious, proactive decision that things were going to be different. The second emotion was fear. I was scared to death that I’d be broke for the rest of my life. I don’t think you should ever live your life in fear, but a reasonable, healthy level

of fear can be a terrific motivator. The third thing was contentment. Marketers try to sell us on the idea that we’ll be happier if we just go out and buy things. When we have this stuff crammed down our throats all day long, rapid-fire, it can affect our level and perception of contentment. One of the practical things I did was to stop going places where I was tempted to spend money. When you have to go out, make a list of only the things you need and take just enough cash with you to make the purchase. Spending money on a bunch of stuff you don’t need, and probably don’t really want, isn’t going to bring you contentment.

– Dave

Dear Dave, I’m trying to get out of debt, but it seems like something unexpected always happens to knock me back down. I’m single, make $45,000 a year, and I have $12,000 in debt, in addition to a mortgage payment of $1,124 a month. I’ve been trying to live on a budget, but I still don’t know where all the money goes.

– Anonymous

get control of your money instead of letting it control you. I want you to sit down every month, before the next month begins, and write it all down on paper, on purpose. Give every single dollar a name, and tell your money what to do. Once you’ve done this, the idea of “trying to live on a budget” stops being some vague idea floating around out there and becomes a real game plan for your money.

– Dave

Dear Anonymous, For starters, your house payment is kind of heavy. I always recommend that your monthly mortgage payment be no more than 25 percent of your take-home pay. Still, the biggest thing is that you’ve got to

Charter Dura-Bar looks to new product applications for growth

FACES & PLACES

“We’ve been growing them pretty nicely since 2012 and really since 2009, the growth rate has been strong,” Murray said. “We’re off to a great start. We remain confident … it’s been a couple years of growth already.” Krista Billert, marketing manager for Dura-Bar, said new ideas for uses of the company’s product is key to growing business. “We’re constantly looking for new applications for the product,” Billert said. “Instead of growing our piece of the pie, we’re trying to grow the whole pie [by] looking at additional industries, and possible applications.” Billert said the company works to replace low to medium carbon steel products or other types of castings. “Our customers don’t have a problem we’re trying to fix,” Billert said. “We’re trying to improve performance and decrease costs for them.” The company also has striven to remain active in the community. In 2014, it was named as the Business Champion by the McHenry County Economic Development Corp. “It felt fantastic,” Murray said. “We’ve really prided ourselves on seeking to be a very active participant in the community in McHenry County.”

Work has included safety improvements, and environmental initiatives among other things. There was an investment in scrap detection equipment to make sure raw materials used are safe to use in the business’ process. There were air quality improvements to keep the dust level very low. The company also is proud of its safety initiatives. “We have a number of safety initiatives where we’ve upgraded pieces of equipment or added whole new pieces of equipment that have improved guarding detection capability, as much as possible to eliminate the potential for human contact with heavy equipment or product that could result in injury,” Murray said. Charter hopes to have double the amount of revenues by 2018 from when it purchased Dura-Bar. Murray would not disclose revenue figures.

Rendering provided

An artist’s rendering shows what the exterior of a typical single-family house at Enclave of Heritage Estates could look like. The community of 32 semi-custom houses is in Lake Barrington.

Developers work with natural space Jerry Kuyper

LAKE BARRINGTON – Profits come first when it comes to developing a subdivision and usually the surrounding natural environment suffers. There are multiple instances in the northwest Chicago suburbs of developers putting as many housing units on a designated land mass as possible. This means getting rid of the natural environment, such as trees, prairie and wetlands. Nature is turned into houses or apartment buildings with a little grass separating structures to make it look good. But, there are developers who embrace and preserve the natural environment. They design their subdivisions with nature in mind and still envision turning a profit. One of those developers is Steve Spinell, a principal owner of Kinzie Builders. An example of his handiwork is at the Enclave of Heritage Estates, a semi-custom community of 32 housing sites just north of Route 22 near Gray Barn and Enclave lanes. Roads follow the curves of the land, winding throughout

the property. Like the roads, the division of each home site, is dictated by natural markers such as hill crests or valleys. “Many builders acquire a piece of land and alter it to suit their vision, but the approach at Enclave was the opposite,” Spinell said. “Here, inspiration was drawn from the Illinois prairie, and created everything in the community in a way that complements it. You can’t improve on Mother Nature. “The homes, too, are each designed in a way to maximize the natural beauty of their surroundings. Each is uniquely positioned on its site to take full advantage of sun exposure, while large windows enhance the views. And outdoor spaces, like decks and patios, have been given extra attention, too, since these are such relaxing spots to enjoy time outside.” Sites range in size from one to four acres. House packages in the gated community begin at $674,900. Apparently, the approach of Spinell has proven popular as more than half of the available housing has been sold in less than 12 months.

BUSINESS 5

Natural assets can benefit residential developments • KUYPER Continued from page D3

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

A Keystone Display employee paints a piece of a shelf in Hebron.

Being small, local has helped Keystone stand out • KEYSTONE DISPLAY Continued from page D1 Streit worked in manufacturing for Proctor & Gamble for several years before he and his wife bought another Hebron company, Crown Industrial Products, in 1988. They sold that business about four years later and then became involved with Keystone the following year, in 1993. In some ways, being small and local has helped combat competition from overseas and keep the business alive during the poor economic conditions of the past few years. There has been a dampening of demand, Streit said, but it’s worked in Keystone’s favor when risk-averse customers turn to the small company of about 55 employees, nearly all of whom work full-time. “Instead of 3,000 displays from China, they might come

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

John Streit, owner of Keystone Display, poses for a portrait at the company’s Hebron facility. to us for 500 displays because we can do it in a lot less time and they can order smaller quantities,” Streit said. “We’ll make small items that might be a $5 display, to one that might be several hundred dollars.” In general, Keystone doesn’t sell to the retailers,

but the product marketer. Instead of Home Depot, its customers are businesses like Sherwin-Williams, Mars, or Wrigley Gum, Streit said. “Normally it’s the marketer that places the display in the store and that’s who we’re selling to,” he said. Keystone had 149 custom-

ers last year, making displays for companies like Rand McNally and Fiskars. There aren’t many locally-based clients, but a product this week was for Intermatic, a company in nearby Spring Grove. Jewel customers may also recognize a recent Keystone project. About 950 displays designed and manufactured to hold Cuisinart cookware for Jewel’s parent company, Albertson’s, were shipped across the country and used part of a stamp-collecting promotion. Current projects include a display for Weber grill accessories. “If we see a display in a store [made by Keystone], we try to get photos,” owner John Streit said. “We’ve done a sign holder several times over the years that goes in McDonald’s. They can show their children, ‘Hey look, mom or dad made this display at work.’ ”

With its miles of rolling prairie and acres of mature trees, northern Illinois offers some of the best of Midwestern topography. Builders in the area agree and are using natural assets to the advantage of their communities by creating roads, dividing home sites or positioning buildings in ways that maximize the benefits of their surroundings. A look at subdivisions such as Burr Oak and Whispering Pines in Bull Valley, Serosun Farms in Hampshire or Henning Estates in Huntley proves that point. Chicago-based Lexington Homes has taken a similar approach at Woodleaf at The Sanctuary Club, a community of 26 custom and semi-custom luxury homes in Kildeer. A heavily wooded natural preserve runs through the center of the community. Buyers can build on sites that either back up to mature trees or overlook Lake Kemper. “We use high-end elevation materials designed to blend seamlessly with the community’s sanctuary-like surroundings,” said Jeff Benach, coprincipal of Lexington Homes. “All homes built are or will, include a combination of natural elements such as brick-, stone- or cedar-type material on the exteriors.” Designs provide views from inside to outside through large windows, vaulted ceilings, and outdoor porches and verandas. Benach noted that design features include breakfast nooks that open onto decks, family rooms with bay windows that overlook wooded backyards and verandas off the master suite. Prices start at $799,900. The subdivision is on the north side of Half Day Road (Route 22), west of Old McHenry Road and

east of Quentin Road. For information, visit www. lexingtonchicago.com. Single-family subdivision developers are not the only ones using natural environments in their plans. Multifamily rental communities are beginning to follow suit. One example is The Oaks of Vernon Hills in Vernon Hills. The developer, Chicagobased REVA Development Partners, designed the 27-acre community around existing natural elements such as a pond, open prairie and mature trees. “With a site this large, we could have built more than a dozen buildings and many more apartment homes than we did, but we knew from the first time we saw this land that we needed to do what we could to preserve as many of the natural elements as possible,” REVA principal Matt Nix said. “That ideal was at the forefront of our planning for The Oaks, and it influenced everything from where we would build the common clubhouse to how we would lay out the buildings.” Nix said the result is a multi-family community with the feeling of an established neighborhood. On Route 45 and west of Milwaukee Avenue, The Oaks features garden-style apartments in eight three-story elevatorserved buildings. Rental row houses are in a series of small neighborhoods. The apartment flats include one-bedroom, one-bathroom and two-bedroom and two-bathroom plans. Row houses offer two or three bedrooms with two-and-one-half baths and an attached two-car garage. Amenities include a clubhouse with a catering kitchen, theatergaming room, state-of-the-art fitness center, and outdoor swimming pool with sundeck and fire pit.

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - Your financial situation will take an upward turn if you find inventive ways to bring in more cash. You may think you are ready to move forward, but someone is likely to call your bluff, so ensure that your information is complete before you make a move. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Establish what you want to do and position yourself accordingly. Ask questions and talk to people who can offer facts and positively influence your path. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be sincere about your needs and wants. Trouble will result if you don’t stick to the truth.

Gather all the details before you put an offer on the table. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You will entice others to join forces with you. Once you have all the facts and relevant information on hand, get whatever else you require to reach your destination. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Lighten up and don’t get rattled if someone creates a problem for you. You can easily ﬁnish any job if you stay calm and avoid overreacting. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Pick your direction and get moving. An unexpected diversion will slow you down, but if you stick

to your plan and trust in your ability, you will excel. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Do your best to avoid disappointment by relying on your wisdom and strength. Let others do what they think is right, while you continue down the path best suited to your needs. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will gain the support necessary to complete a project from an interested party. With the right ally and assistance, signiﬁcant strides can be made. A last-minute change will lead to unexpected results. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are

sympathetic, but that doesn’t mean you should allow someone to curtail your freedom or plans. Respect others’ feelings, but stick to your own agenda. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- A onetime partner is likely to resurface. Your creativity will lead to travel and a romantic encounter. You will feel energized if you get out and enthusiastically enjoy life. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Travel will lead to increased knowledge. Spending time with new acquaintances will beneﬁt you in more ways than one. You should steer clear of a tumultuous emotional situation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You will receive a unique offer out of the blue. Don’t be afraid to try something new. Make the most of any opportunity to unite with people who share your interests. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Someone from your past can offer you insight regarding your next move. A problem surrounding a friend, relative or neighbor will catch you off your guard.

Why are furnaces priced so differently? We receive many inquiries from homeowners wanting to know the cost of a new furnace. Unfortunately phone shopping is the worst way to proceed. For most people, this is a once in a lifetime purchase which cannot be done properly via the phone. Here are some helpful tips to get the most value for your money: • Furnace prices are based on efficiency, BTU capacity and the level of difficulty in installing the unit. The only way to properly size a furnace is to do a load calculation. • A proper evaluation of your home and a thorough explanation of the features and benefits of the equipment usually takes about an hour. Once a homeowner is aware of the various options available, he will be in a much better position to make an informed buying decision. • Another key factor that effects pricing is who will be installing the equipment. The cheapest price is seldom (if ever) the best value. The quality of the installation, the extended guarantees and 24/7 service by N.A.T.E. certified techs should be the determining factor when making a purchase.

By LEANNE ITALIE The Associated Press NEW YORK – How’s that new year, new you fitness pledge going? January, the start of New Year’s resolution month, sees a healthy uptick in sign-ups at gyms and specialized studios offering such things as Pilates, kickboxing and yoga. But money-saving expert Andrea Woroch in Bakersfield, California, said recent statistics show 67 percent of people who join don’t use their memberships at all. With the average monthly fee at $58, that means a potential waste of up to $700 a year or more, she said. If you’re looking to kick-start, save money or can’t decide on an approach, Woroch offers these tips:

Max out trials Finding the right gym fit is key. A great way to check out classes, instructors or an overall environment is to take advantage of freebies. Woroch said most gyms offer three free days to a free week. Salespeople may try to entice during trial periods with limitedtime discounts, but don’t bite if it doesn’t feel right. Move on to another gym until you find the right one. “You want to test out the equipment, go at the time that you typically think will fit into your schedule, whether it’s after work, at lunch. See what the crowds are like,” she said.

Try haggling Think of your gym membership

like buying a car, Woroch said. Salespeople have quotas and that puts you in the driver’s seat. Nothing is set in stone, she said. Perhaps you can score a lower monthly rate or have the initiation fee waived. Ask for the first month free, more guest passes, extra personal training sessions or complementary child care. “There’s always wiggle room,” she said.

Punch passes Is there a nagging voice in your head declaring: “You’ll never keep it up!” You might get a lower monthly rate when committing to a two-year contract, but you’ll pay over time if you don’t go. A punch pass may be a wise choice, Woroch said. She cited a recent study that found people who choose a contract with a monthly fee over a 10-visit pass paid $600 more a year. If you know you won’t go every day or find that you prefer outdoor activities instead, paying per visit also could mean avoiding early termination fees down the line. “Then you’re not bound to a contract or you can’t go for a week or two weeks because you’re traveling for work, you won’t lose the money,” Woroch said.

Who is family? Family membership deals abound, but such deals aren’t always limited to actually family, Woroch said. Joining might be more fun with friends, but trust comes into play in terms of payment. Pick one person to make the

January, the start of New Year’s resolution month, sees a healthy uptick in sign-ups at gyms and specialized studios offering such things as Pilates, kickboxing and yoga. monthly payment and come up with a reimbursement plan. That could mean each person sends the designee a check, transfers money via Paypal or pays in one lump sum for the year. Make sure to work it out ahead of time. “More and more gyms are just looking for numbers at this point,” Woroch said. “They’ve loosened up on who your people are.”

Coupons, warehouse club Look around. Sites like Groupon and LivingSocial often offer deep dis-

counts up to 70 percent on local gym memberships and personal training. Warehouse clubs also offer deals, but you usually have to take a one-year or two-year membership for those. CouponSherpa.com offers coupons and free passes for health clubs. Monthly flexibility will allow you to jump around from gym to studio to boot camp until you find what you’re looking for, Woroch said. “This is a good way to leave room to re-evaluate,” Woroch said. “You can save a little for three or four months before signing a contract.”

Secondhand smoke is never safe or risk-free Regardless of age or health status, there is no safe or risk-free level of secondhand smoke exposure. Secondhand smoke is when you breathe in the smoke from a person smoking a cigarette near you. It is a combination of smoke from the burning end of the cigarette and the smoke that is breathed out by the smoker. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, secondhand smoke causes numerous health prob-

lems in infants and children, such as respiratory infections, ear infections, frequent and severe asthma attacks and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Adults may experience health conditions such as stroke, lung cancer and coronary heart disease. Not only does breathing secondhand smoke have long-term consequences, there are short-term consequences, such as immediately interfering with the normal functioning of the blood,

heart and vascular systems. Also, damage to the lining of the blood vessels can cause your blood platelets to become stickier, and these changes can cause a heart attack. Nonsmokers have a 20 percent to 30 percent increased risk of developing lung cancer when they are exposed to secondhand smoke at home or work. Secondhand smoke exposure causes 7,300 lung cancer deaths each year among nonsmokers. Thankfully, due to the

Smoke Free Illinois Act, being around secondhand smoke is not as prevalent as it used to be. However, many children are not given an option and are still exposed at home. It’s extremely important to take all necessary precautions to ensure secondhand smoke is avoided while children are present. Opening the windows does not protect from secondhand smoke. The McHenry County Department of Health in partnership with Centegra

Health System offers tobacco cessation classes. The class offers group support, behavior modification and review of nicotine replacement products. For information on quitting smoking or smokeless tobacco, call the McHenry County Department of Health at 815-334-4510.

Mom: Dollhouse built with love isn’t up to code Dear Abby: My 7-year-old granddaughter, “Kelly,” wanted a dollhouse for Christmas. I had a friend build a basic frame, shingled roof, chimney and shutters, then I decorated it. I did everything by hand. I wallpapered each room, made little rugs and crocheted lace curtains. There were even little window shades. Kelly’s room was a perfect princess bedroom. It took weeks, but I loved working on it. The family came for five days over the holidays. Kelly loved her dollhouse and played with it every day. When it came time to leave, my daughter told Kelly she couldn’t take it with her. She had to leave it at Grandma’s “so she would have something to play with when she came to visit.” Kelly was heartbroken. So was I. Then my daughter told me (in private) the dollhouse was “too amateurish,” which was why she didn’t want it in her home. I think about it all the time and don’t know how to get past it. Any advice? – Hurt Grandma Dear Hurt: You appear to be a loving grandparent. Sometimes people say things without weighing the effect it will have on the person they’re talking to. What your daughter said may have been honest, but it was extremely insensitive in light of the time, effort and love that went into that gift. Your daughter appears to be more fixated on appearances rather than what’s really important in life. What is sad to me is that she may pass along her skewed sense

of values to your granddaughter. Dear Abby: I joined a weekly prayer group with women from my church. As a young mom, I appreciate having the opportunity to get out of the house and socialize with other adults, and all the women are nice. We use an online sign-up to schedule who will host each week. The trouble is, all of the other members have much larger, nicer homes than mine. There’s always space for everyone to sit, and a basement for all the kids to play in while we’re occupied. I’d love to host, but I’m afraid having all those people in my house would be an embarrassment. No one has asked why I haven’t hosted yet, but I’m getting worried about what to say if someone does. Should I just say I don’t have the space? I feel it’s rude of me to not take a turn. – Tiny

House Dweller In Kansas Dear T.H.D.: Not being able to accommodate a large group is nothing to be embarrassed about. It’s a fact of life for many people. If you are asked about why you haven’t hosted, tell the truth. Offer to host the gathering at the church – or outside when the weather permits. If that doesn’t work, volunteer to bring food to some of the events so you’ll feel like you’re contributing your share and no one will feel you are ducking a responsibility.

Harvard study sheds light on marijuana’s effects on the brain My grandmother on my mom’s side, God rest her soul, was a wise woman. She was from a time when common sense and frugality were the rule when it came to medicine and Big Pharma wasn’t a thing. When I was a kid and I had an upset stomach, she would leave some toast in the toaster for a little too long, fill a glass with warm water and scrape some of the charcoal from the toast into the glass and make me drink it. I thought it was awful and that she was a kooky old lady. Later I found out charcoal is one of the main ingredients in many popular antacids. Go figure. Fast forward a couple of decades, and the marijuana debate is in full swing. Those of us in the substance abuse treatment field have observed the negative effects of marijuana for years. Is it just a stereotype that marijuana smokers are often less motivated, seem to be flattened out emotionally, seem to have trouble making decisions and seem prone to the use of other drugs? Our common sense, our observations over time and the apparently obvious patterns would lead us to say no, it is not a stereotype, just an accurate observation. With the “harmless weed” argument, the “natural substance” argument and the “less harmful than alcohol or tobacco” argument – and despite all the reasoning and

“scared straight” scenarios – we have a whole new generation of marijuana smokers who believe their arguments. For many, they have no terrible outward consequences. It looks like a win for the recreational users, but wait. Harvard Medical School last week announced a study using three groups of 18- to 25-year-olds. The first smoked no marijuana, the second smoked occasionally (no more than a joint a week on average) and the third were recreational users. Scientists studied their brains with MRI technology. The brains of marijuana users in both groups who smoked were affected in very specific ways. Marijuana changed the size and consistency or, according to the researchers, “damaged” the parts of the brain that affect the processing of rewards, making decisions, motivation and processing emotions. That sounds exactly like those old-fashioned observations. Next time I feel nauseous, I think I’ll burn some toast.

Gemstone Folklore

Gem Talk

By Karly Bulinski

Ever since the discovery of the ﬁrst gemstone, people have been creating stories about how they came to exist in our world. Some make sense while others are really whacky! Here are some of my favorite gemstone folklore and legends. Greek Myth – One day Dionysus, god of wine, celebration and intoxication became enraged with the mortals and vowed to sick his two ferocious tigers on the next mortal that crossed his path. That poor soul happened to be the sweet young maiden, Amethysta who was on her way to pay homage to the goddess Diana. Before she could make it to the temple, Dionysus unleashed his vicious tigers on Amethysta but not before Diana turned her into a statue of gleaming clear quartz. Dionysus, realizing the error of his way, starting weeping tears of wine over the statue which stained the quartz purple, thus creating the gemstone Amethyst (which also happens to be the stone that protects against drunkenness.) Egyptian Legend – To explain why tourmaline is found in almost every color, it is believed that tourmaline traveled from the heart of the Earth up to the sun and along the way it traveled through a rainbow collecting all of its colors. A legend says that a Chinese emperor once offered 15 cities in exchange for a jade carving that he could hold in one hand. Up until the 16th century, it was believed that clear quartz, or rock crystal, was water from the heavens that the gods had frozen into ice crystals, even the scientists prescribed to this speculation! Golden topaz, or imperial topaz, was once believed to change color when it was in the presence of poisoned food or drink making the stone of choice for the royals.

PLOT: Navy SEAL Chris Kyle’s pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield and turns him into a legend. Back home to his wife and kids after four tours of duty, however, Chris finds that it is the war he can’t leave behind. RATED: R for strong and disturbing war violence and language throughout, including some sexual references TIME: 2 hours, 12 minutes VERDICT: Navy SEAL Chris Kyle is portrayed by Bradley Cooper in “American Sniper,” Clint Eastwood’s respectful – if somewhat superficial – treatment of the real-life Kyle’s 2012 memoir of the same name. Kyle, who achieved renown as the most lethal sniper in American military history, with 160 confirmed kills and nearly 100 more unverified ones, was honored with the sobriquet “The Legend” during four tours of duty in Iraq. On film, “American Sniper” treats him as a martyred hero. (In 2013, after leaving the service, Kyle was killed by a disturbed veteran whom he was mentoring.) And while that portrayal arguably may be justified, Cooper’s portrayal – while less than reverential

– also reveals a man remarkably unburdened by conscience. Throughout the film, adapted for the screen by Jason Hall (“Paranoia”), Kyle comes across as a man gifted not just with the ability to shoot, but with a remarkable – and, at times, almost incomprehensible – moral clarity. Make no mistake: “American Sniper” presents Kyle’s seemingly miraculous accomplishment as just that – something achieved while carrying out a task, albeit one of the most difficult and dangerous ones imaginable. For the most part, “American Sniper” is less interested in pursuing questions of moral and psychological nuance than in telling a good war story. The battle scenes are alternately tense and thrilling, especially during one climactic sequence. The flavor of a Western is not accidental. Kyle, at one point, announces that he always wanted to be a cowboy. Maybe Eastwood does, too. Despite a couple of moments when it isn’t clear who the bad guys are and who the good guys are, “American Sniper” keeps its metaphorical headgear – white hats and blacks hats – very much separate. – The Washington Post

“THE BOY NEXT DOOR” STARRING: Jennifer Lopez, Ryan Guz-

man, Kristen Chenoweth

PLOT: Shortly after her divorce, a woman falls for a younger man who just moved in across the street, though their torrid affair takes an obsessive, dangerous turn. RATED: R for violence, sexual content/ nudity and language TIME: 1 hour, 31 minutes VERDICT: If you’ve seen the deliciously bad trailer for “The Boy Next Door,” you already know some of the film’s best – which is to say its worst – lines. “I love your mom’s cookies” may go down in history as the most hilariously inappropriate double-entendre ever spoken by one high school student to another after the first one has slept with his schoolmate’s mother. That is the premise of this future camp classic, in which Jennifer Lopez’s schoolteacher character has ill-advised rebound sex with a studly student (Ryan Guzman) after catching her husband (John Corbett) cheating on her. That this lucky student, Noah, is said to be almost 20 makes it only slightly less icky than it sounds, even though it’s never adequately explained why the kid is still taking AP classes when most others his age would be halfway through college. It’s just one of the film’s many improbabilities, which will either flow

over you like water, if you let them, or irritate like an itchy wool sweater, if you fight them. Quickly, Noah is revealed to be a psychotic stalker who won’t take no for an answer when Lopez’s Claire comes to her senses and tries to break off their relationship. Like a car careening down the Hollywood hills without brakes – yes, that’s a scene in the film – “The Boy Next Door” rushes pell-mell from psychological thriller territory into the realm of horror film. At times, Noah is like a distant cousin of Norman Bates, with better abs. “The Boy Next Door” plays best as unintentional comedy. It’s a movie about a young man with an unhealthy mother fixation, but if you go into it expecting something closer to “Mommie Dearest” than “Psycho,” you’ll probably have a much better time. – The Washington Post

“CAKE” STARRING: Jennifer Aniston, Adriana Barraza, Anna Kendrick

PLOT: Claire becomes fascinated by the suicide of a woman in her chronic pain support group while grappling with her own raw personal tragedy. RATED: R for language, substance abuse and brief sexuality TIME: 1 hour, 42 minutes VERDICT: A wintry pall enshrouds

even the sunniest Los Angeles locales in “Cake,” a drab, dramatically inert redemption story enlivened by a sharp performance by Jennifer Aniston. This quiet, dressed-down turn shouldn’t be considered much of a departure for the former “Friends” star, as she has already delivered similarly impressive performances in indie films such as “The Good Girl” and “Friends With Money.” Here, playing a deeply scarred woman coping with chronic pain, unresolved trauma and an alarming fascination with the suicide of an acquaintance, she proves that her comic gifts of timing and delivery serve her well, even in the direst of circumstances. “Cake” is structured as something of a mystery as far as the source of Claire’s psychic and physical wounds, but viewers will suss out the situation within minutes. That could be a testament to Aniston’s expressive talents, but it also suggests screenwriter Patrick Tobin and director Daniel Barnz have created a schematic tale of overcoming grief and guilt that ultimately feels more calculating than genuinely bold or new, even with a few touches of magical realism. There’s no doubt that Aniston deserves more roles like this one but, with luck, in less maudlin, more surprising movies. – The
