Bill seeks to extend tax break

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK OF HEALTH CARE

ESCALATING COSTS

To affect exemption for home health care

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com A bill submitted in Springfield seeks to extend the tax exemption on home improvements that are built to care for a family member.

House Bill 3715, filed last week by state Rep. Barbara Wheeler, R-Crystal Lake, eliminates the four-year limit on the property-tax exemption for home improvements and additions, provided they were built to care for a senior citizen or disabled person living in the home.

If approved, the homeowner could claim the exemption for as long as the individual is living in the home.

Wheeler called the idea a way to give people incentive to keep loved ones with such needs in home care and reduce

The million or so uninsured Illinoisans expected to enroll in President Barack Obama’s signature health care law could help hospitals statewide mitigate the escalating costs of caring for needy patients, health care experts said.

But in McHenry County, Centegra Health System has already intensified efforts to recoup some money for providing care for the uninsured or underinsured who either don’t have the ability to pay for their medical care or, in some instances, are unwillingly to pay for their care.

Uncompensated care costs for hospitals in Illinois and across the country has steadily risen since the economic recession in the late 2000s and as the number of uninsured patients increase.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – For nearly five years, Republicans have struggled to make a scandal stick to President Barack Obama’s White House. One by one, the controversies – with shorthand names such as Solyndra, Benghazi, and Fast and Furious – hit a fever pitch, then faded away.

But some Republicans see the disastrous rollout of Obama’s health law as a problem with the kind of staying power they have sought.

The health care failures are tangible for millions of Americans and can be experienced by anyone with Internet access. The law itself

A year after Superstorm Sandy, a slow recovery for thousands The Associated Press NEW YORK – A year after Superstorm Sandy catastrophically flooded hundreds of miles of eastern U.S. coastline, thousands of people still trying to fix their soaked and surf-battered homes are being stymied by bureaucracy, insurance disputes and uncertainty over whether they can even afford to rebuild.

Billions of dollars in federal aid appropriated months ago by Congress have yet to reach homeowners who need that money to move on. Many have found flood insurance checks weren’t nearly enough to cover the damage.

And worse, new federal rules mean many in high-risk flood zones may have to either jack their houses up on stilts or pilings – an expensive, sometimes impossible task – or face new insurance rates that hit $10,000 or more a year.

“It’s just been such a terrible burden,” said Gina Maxwell, whose home in Little Egg Harbor, N.J., still is a wreck after filling with 4 feet of water. Contractors say it will cost $270,000 to rebuild – about double what the insurance paid out. The family doesn’t have the money.

“What do we do with this house? Just give them the deed back?” she said. “My son is 11. He has a little piggy bank in his room. He said, ‘Take it, mom.’ ” In blue-collar Union Beach, N.J., the owner of the popular restaurant Jakeabob’s Bay has come up with only a quarter of the $2 million she needs to rebuild.

In Long Beach, a barrier-island city of 33,000 on the coast of New York’s Long Island, residents in some neighborhoods say half their neighbors have yet to return.

“I don’t think Long Beach is ever going to be what it was,” resident Ginger Matthews said.

Sandy roared out of the Atlantic and struck the New York and New Jersey coasts Oct. 29, 2012. The 1,000-mile-wide mashup of a hurricane and another huge weather system killed at least 182 people in the U.S., according to a count by The Associated Press, and caused an estimated $65 billion in damage.

Floodwaters swept over densely populated barrier islands and pushed deep into bays and harbors from Atlantic City, N.J., all the way to Rhode Island.

In New York City, the storm surge hit nearly 14 feet, sending the Hudson and East rivers pouring into the city’s subway and commuter tunnels and knocking out power to the southern third of Manhattan. Gas stations ran out of fuel.

Lee Ann Newland and husband John Lambert sort through items Oct. 13 inside their Superstorm Sandy-damaged home in Neptune, N.J. A year after Sandy, they still are battling their insurers. Billions of dollars in federal aid appropriated months ago by Congress have yet to reach homeowners who desperately need that money to move on. And many, like this couple, have found flood insurance checks weren’t nearly enough to cover the damage.

High-rise residents had to carry water up darkened stairwells. Thousands of fragile patients evacuated crippled hospitals and nursing homes.

Out of that chaos came remarkable stories of recovery. New York City’s submerged subways and tunnels sprang back to life with surprising speed. Beach boardwalks were rebuilt. Mountains of debris were removed. Flooded schools, nursing homes and amusement parks have reopened.

But for every success story, there are tales of continuing frustration.

On New York City’s Staten Island, where 23 people died, vacant lots have been multiplying on spots where homes once stood. Sheetrock and debris still decorate front lawns. Plywood covers bungalows, “Restricted Use” signs hanging on their front doors.

On the Jersey shore, officials said that in the tiny seaside borough of Mantoloking, where the storm washed dozens of homes clean into Barnegat Bay, fewer than half the buildings in town had been repopulated.

While some beach towns quickly rebuilt their seaside promenades and beaches, Toms River, N.J., where hundreds of homes were destroyed, managed to rebuild only two blocks of boardwalk and had a small sliver of beach open this summer. Beachgoers had to walk past rubble and still-to-be-torn-down houses

JFK’s image shines on despite contradictions The ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON – Four days a week, David O’Donnell leads a 90-minute “Kennedy Tour” around Boston that features stops at government buildings, museums, hotels and meeting halls.

Tour-goers from throughout the United States and abroad, who may see John F. Kennedy as inspiration, martyr or Cold War hero, hear stories of his ancestors and early campaigns, the rise of the Irish in state politics, the odd fact that Kennedy was the only president outlived by his grandmother.

Yet at some point along the tour, inevitably, questions from the crowd shift from politics to gossip.

Count on Me...

Bob Sharp

“Someone will ask, ‘Did Jack Kennedy have an affair with Marilyn Monroe?’

With this woman? That woman?” explains O’Donnell, who has worked for a decade in the city’s visitors bureau. Those asking forgive the infidelities John F. as reflecting Kennedy another era, he says. “It’s something people, in an odd way, just accept.”

The Kennedy image, the “mystique” that attracts tourists and historians alike, did not begin with his presidency and is in no danger of ending 50 years after his death.

“He’s become more and more of an iconic figure as the years have passed,” says presidential biographer Robert Dallek, whose “Camelot’s Court” is one of many Kennedy books out this fall.

“I think it’s partly, of course, because of the assassination. But that doesn’t really account for why he has this phenomenal hold on the public.” President William McKinley, he noted, was assassinated in 1901, “but 50 years after his death hardly anyone remembered who he was.”

The federal government has responded by pouring money into the region.

The Small Business Administration authorized $2.4 billion in disaster loans to more than 36,000 households and businesses, although it has paid out only about a quarter of that to date as storm victims have tried to figure out whether they can or should take on more debt.

FEMA gave $1.42 billion to help storm victims pay rent, replace lost possessions and make emergency repairs. The agency gave another $2.7 billion to help municipalities clean up debris, repair critical infrastructure and reopen damaged hospitals. The federal flood insurance program paid $7.8 billion to nearly 132,000 policyholders who sustained damage during the storm.

But for some people, is hasn’t been enough. Many had no flood insurance.

And the process of getting federal aid money into people’s hands has been slow.

First, the states had to build homeowner aid programs from scratch. Then it had to accept and process many thousands of applications, while navigating numerous federal rules and reviews.

Seth Diamond, director of storm recovery for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, said the delays caused some homeowners to doubt that the program was real. But he said bureaucratic hurdles are getting resolved.

Students dig for District sued over weapons policy artifacts at Chicago Civil War site The ASSOCIATED PRESS

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – A former Civil War training camp where thousands of Confederate soldiers died 150 years ago may be long gone, but it’s not totally forgotten.

College students and volunteers are digging for artifacts at Pershing East Magnet School in Chicago’s South Side Bronzeville neighborhood, once a part of the 60-acre Camp Douglas training center for Union soldiers.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported Saturday that the excavation is in an area where up to 12,000 Confederate prisoners were held in barracks in 1864.

DePaul University professor and archaeologist Mike Gregory, who’s leading a fourday excavation of the site, said volunteers are looking for artifacts and to confirm where things were located.

But he also hopes to add to the history of the neighborhood and highlight Chicago’s link to the Civil War. “When you study the Civil War, you say, ‘Well it doesn’t have anything to do with Chicago.’ Well, yeah, it does,” he

said. “And when you start delving deeper and deeper, you always hear about the southern prisons but you never hear about the northern prisons. ... Camp Douglas sort of disappeared.”

Many Confederate prisoners died at Camp Douglas because of diseases such as smallpox, said David Keller, director of the Camp Douglas Restoration Foundation.

An excavation last year at another part of the former camp uncovered what could be part of the foundation of the camp’s headquarters building and a pipe believed to have belonged to a soldier, Keller said.

Students and volunteers are digging layer by layer at the site, and Gregory said they might find demolition material from row houses torn down in the 1960s, material used in the early 1900s from another school, construction materials from the late 1800s and hopefully, artifacts from Camp Douglas, which served as a training center for about 40,000 Union soldiers from 1861 until 1865.

“As you dig, you’re digging through a community’s history,” Keller said.

SPRINGFIELD – The father of a straight-A high school senior who was expelled after a hunting knife was found in his car trunk is suing the Springfield School District, claiming its zero-tolerance weapons policy is unfair.

The lawsuit claims the district failed to take into account the student’s intent or his academic, extracurricular and disciplinary records. It said the student had a 5.0089 grade-point average on a 5.0 scale, was a National Merit Scholarship semifinalist, belonged to the varsity golf and

tennis teams and had no previous disciplinary problems, the (Springfield) State Journal-Register reported Friday.

The lawsuit, filed by the boy’s father, Allen Mueller, also claims the district violated the Illinois School Code by failing to publish its weapons policy for public inspection in its administrative office.

According to court records, police with a K-9 dog searched the student’s car in the school parking lot Sept.

27 after receiving a tip that he might have marijuana. A search of the trunk allegedly turned up a collector’s “Buffalo Bill” hunting knife inside a backpack, drug parapher-

nalia with traces of suspected marijuana and golf clubs, court records say.

The Springfield School Board voted earlier this month to expel the student, although the Springfield High principal testified on the student’s behalf and his tennis coach wrote a letter of support.

The student’s lawyers asked for a temporary restraining order to block the expulsion, arguing that he would suffer “irreparable injury” by being forced to receive a substandard education this year, but a judge rejected the request, the newspaper reported.

School district lawyers noted the student was offered the chance to enroll in the Springfield Public School Alternative Education Program but instead enrolled at Sacred Heart-Griffin High School.

Neither the student’s attorney, Dennis O’Brien, nor school district attorney Denise Druhot returned phone calls from the newspaper. A call to O’Brien’s office by The Associated Press on Saturday rang unanswered, and Druhot did not immediately return a phone message.

Springfield interim school superintendent Bob Leming declined to comment to the newspaper.

8STATE BRIEFS Former Illinois police official facing new charge

Feds: Developers cheated investors

BELLEVILLE – A former assistant police chief in southwestern Illinois who already is headed to prison is facing a new charge after a woman accused him of beating her.

Former Centreville Assistant Police Chief Corey Allen is set to begin a two-year sentence in federal prison for lying to investigators about selling a gun to a registered sex offender.

The (Belleville) News Democrat reported that Allen was charged Friday with misdemeanor battery.

St. Clair County State’s Attorney Brendan Kelly said Allen is being held in lieu of $5,000 bail on the new charge.

CHICAGO – A former securities broker and his partner in a northern Illinois real estate business are facing federal charges accusing them of running a Ponzi-like scheme and cheating investors out of millions. A federal grand jury returned an indictment this week charging the two men with wire fraud.

One of the suspects, Marcin Malarz, is a fugitive and believed to be living in Poland. The 48-year-old had lived in Lake Forest and managed Malarz Equity Investments LLC, a business that converted apartments into condominiums.

Thirty-nine-year-old Arthur Lin of Palatine is accused of recruiting his securities firm’s clients to invest in the business.

Prosecutors accuse them of fraudulently raising $9 million and misappropriating much of it.

4 teens among gunshot victims in Chicago CHICAGO – Four teenagers were among five people shot and wounded overnight in Chicago. Police spokeswoman Amina Greer said one of the teens was shot in the back around 3 a.m.

Saturday while trying to outrun a gunman in the northwest Belmont Cragin neighborhood.

The 17-year-old victim ran inside a home and collapsed.

He was hospitalized in critical condition.

About an hour later, an 18-year-old woman was shot on the Lower West Side.

On Friday, two other teens were wounded, including a 17-year-old shot in the knee while riding his bike in the Uptown neighborhood.

More Chicago parks get free wireless access CHICAGO – Two of Chicago’s busiest parks will become the latest city locations to offer free wireless internet access.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced Friday that Google will sponsor service at Garfield Park on the city’s West Side and the South Shore Cultural Center on the South Side.

Emanuel said the three-year contract with Google is part of his effort to ensure Chicago is one of the most connected cities in the world.

Spying threatens to hamper U.S. foreign policy The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Secretary of State John Kerry went to Europe to talk about Mideast peace, Syria and Iran. What he got was an earful of outrage over U.S. snooping abroad.

President Barack Obama has defended America’s surveillance dragnet to leaders of Russia, Mexico, Brazil, France and Germany, but the international anger over the disclosures shows no signs of abating in the short run.

Longer term, the revelations by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden about NSA tactics that allegedly include

tapping the cellphones of as many as 35 world leaders threaten to undermine U.S. foreign policy in a range of areas.

In Washington, demonstrators held up signs reading “Thank you, Edward Snowden!” as they marched and rallied near the U.S. Capitol to demand that Congress investigate the NSA’s mass surveillance programs.

This vacuum-cleaner approach to data collection has rattled allies.

“The magnitude of the eavesdropping is what shocked us,” former French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said in a radio in-

terview. “Let’s be honest, we eavesdrop too. Everyone is listening to everyone else. But we don’t have the same means as the United States, which makes us jealous.”

So where in the world isn’t the NSA? That’s one big question raised by the disclosures.

Whether the tapping of allies is a step too far might be moot.

The British ambassador to Lebanon, Tom Fletcher, tweeted this past week: “I work on assumption that 6+ countries tap my phone. Increasingly rare that diplomats say anything sensitive on calls.”

Diplomatic relations are built on trust. If America’s credibility is in question, the

U.S. will find it harder to maintain alliances, influence world opinion and maybe even close trade deals.

Spying among allies is not new.

Madeleine Albright, secretary of state during the Clinton administration, recalled being at the United Nations and having the French ambassador ask her why she said something in a private conversation apparently intercepted by the French.

The French government protested revelations this past week that the NSA had collected 70.3 million French-based telephone and electronic message records in a 30-day period.

A growing number of military parents have embraced home schooling, seeking to put an end to the age-old tradition for military children of switching schools.

Military bases open their doors to home-schoolers The ASSOCIATED PRESS ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE, Md. – A growing number of military parents want to end the age-old tradition of switching schools for their kids.

They’ve embraced homeschooling, and are finding support on bases, which are providing resources for families and opening their doors for home schooling cooperatives and other events.

“If there’s a military installation, there’s very likely home-schoolers there if you look,” said Nicole McGhee, 31, of Cameron, N.C., a mother of three with a husband stationed at North Carolina’s Fort Bragg who runs a Facebook site on military home schooling.

At Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia, the library sported special presentations for home-schoolers on Benjamin Franklin and static electricity. Fort Bragg offers daytime taekwondo classes.

At Fort Belvoir, Va., there are athletic events and a parent-led chemistry lab.

At Andrews Air Force Base about 15 miles outside of Washington, more than

40 families participate on Wednesdays in a home schooling cooperative at the base’s youth center. Earlier this month, teenagers in one room warmed up for a mock audition reciting sayings such as “red leather, yellow leather.”

Younger kids downstairs learned to sign words such as “play” and searched for “Special Agent Stan” during a math game. Military moms taught each class.

There also are events outside the co-op, such as a planned camping trip for kids reading Jean Craighead’s “My Side of the Mountain.”

“Some weeks I wonder how my kids are going to do the school side of school because they are so busy socializing,” said Joanna Hemp, the co-op’s welcome coordinator.

Military families move on average nearly every three years. The transition can be tough for children, and home schooling can make it easier, advocates say. The children don’t have to adjust to a new teacher or worry that they’re behind because the new school’s curriculum is different.

Some military families also cite the same reasons

for choosing home schooling as those in the civilian population: a desire to educate their kids in a religious environment, concern about the school environment, or to provide for a child with special needs.

Two 16-year-olds, Andrew Roberts and Christina Cagle, interviewed at the Andrews co-op say they are happy their parents made the decision to home school them. Roberts said he thinks he gets a lot more done in a school day than peers in a traditional school, and he sees his friends plenty at Bible study groups and during other social events with other teenagers on base.

“There’s not like a lot of peer pressure considering you’re mostly with your siblings and it’s kind of a relaxed environment,” Cagle said.

Participating military families say there’s an added bonus to home schooling.

It allows them to schedule school time around the rigorous deployment, training and school schedules of the military member.

“We can take time off when dad is home and work harder when he is gone so we have that flexibility,” McGhee said.

Beast of a weed creeping into Midwest The ASSOCIATED PRESS MINNEAPOLIS – It’s a beast of a weed, creeping north into the Midwest from cotton country.

Palmer amaranth can shoot up as high as 7 feet, and just one plant can produce up to a million seeds. Herbicide is increasingly futile against it, and the weed’s thick stems and deep roots make it hard work to clear by hand. It can slash yields and profits when it gets out of control.

Midwestern weed scientists are sounding the alarm because the plant recently turned up in Iowa and can cause deep losses in corn and soybean yields.

“This is not just a nui-

sance. This is a game-changer,” warned Purdue University weed scientist Bill Johnson, whose state has well-established pockets of the plant.

Cotton growers in the South already spend about $100 million a year to try to keep it out of their fields, University of Georgia scientist Stanley Culpepper said.

“This is a crop robber,” said W.C. Grimes, who farms 1,600 acres of cotton, peanuts and corn near Twin City in eastern Georgia. “It will steal your profit. It will choke your cotton out, and anything else you’re trying to grow.”

Grimes was losing up to 200 pounds of cotton per acre until farmers learned the key to overcoming Palmer ama-

ranth’s resistance to glyphosate – sold under brand names like Roundup – was to continuously change herbicides.

His advice to Midwesterner farmers: Keep your eyes open and kill the weed as soon as it turns up.

One thing that makes Palmer amaranth so much tougher than other weeds is that one plant can produce 500,000 to 1 million seeds. A combine can scatter seeds from a couple plants across an entire field, Johnson said, and the untrained eye can’t tell the difference between Palmer amaranth and more common but less aggressive Corn Belt weeds, such as waterhemp and other kinds of pigweed.

DETROIT – It may be too broke to pay its bills or even respond to 911 calls on time, but Detroit is still thinking big.

As the debt-ridden metropolis moves through bankruptcy proceedings that are turning its empty pockets inside-out, local and state leaders are proposing expensive new projects, including a hockey arena doubling as an events center, plus a mass transit line.

If built, the developments would cost $800 million and bet at least $300 million in future tax revenues on an effort to attract people to a place that residents have been fleeing for 60 years.

Skeptics say the plans are needlessly risky for a city with so much debt that it can’t fund services as simple as streetlights. Spending hundreds of millions on unproven projects, they insist, is like taking an unem-

ployment check to a casino instead of paying for basic necessities.

“Detroit is not going to be saved by an individual project with a bunch of money poured into it,” said businessman Jerry Belanger, a vocal critic of the arena project. “It’s not going to help Detroit schools, it’s not going to help rebuild buildings that are completely blighted.”

The efforts are focused narrowly on a 10-squaremile district in and near downtown, which is home to corporations such as General Motors and draws suburban workers and visitors to sporting events, concerts and cultural institutions.

Outside the city center lays a wasteland of 130 square miles of neighborhoods with high crime, vacant homes and few prospects.

Supporters predict the downtown improvements will expand the tax base and lay the path to a brighter financial future. They say the

stakes extend beyond Detroit to include the entire state.

Without “vibrant central cities,” college-educated young people will continue to leave “and take the future Michigan economy with them,” said Lou Glazer, an economic expert and president of the nonpartisan research organization Michigan Future Inc. Tom Stephens, a lawyer who spoke against the hockey arena at a recent city council meeting, asked why elected officials would spend a huge sum to benefit the “multibillionaire owner of a sports franchise” at a time when the needs of average residents are unmet.

If successful, the projects could buy time for improving essential services – a promised upshot of bankruptcy. If they fail, the proposed developments could join a line of ideas – some futile, others effective – that could not stop Detroit’s slide into ruin.

‘People’s referendum’ a choice between Sudan, South Sudan

By CHARLTON DOKI The Associated Press JUBA, South Sudan – Residents in the disputed border region of Abyei jubilated on the eve of the upcoming referendum in which they will choose between Sudan and South Sudan, a local leader said Saturday, despite concern the exercise could spark violence.

Abyei’s Ngok Dinka people have been “singing and dancing” ahead of the “people’s referendum” Sunday, according to Luka Biong, spokesman for a civic group that is organizing the vote. The Sudan-allied Misseriya nomads, who come to Abyei to find pasture for their cattle, will not be allowed to participate, he added.

Both Sudan and South Sudan claim ownership of Abyei, whose status was unresolved after South Sudan became independent from its northern neighbor in 2011. The region’s majority Ngok Dinka people are believed to be in favor of joining South Sudan.

“People are in a celebratory mood here. Last night they were singing and dancing as they wait for Sunday to cast their vote,” said Biong, spokesman for the Abyei Referendum High Committee, which has been mobilizing people for the referendum.

Up to 100,000 people are expected to participate in the vote despite repeated warnings that such an event might trigger violence in the border region, said Biong. A local commission that will supervise the vote is expected to announce results Thursday, he said, insisting the exercise would proceed without the official involvement of Sudan or South Sudan.

The African Union has warned against holding a referendum, saying such action could increase the risk

of violence between the Ngok Dinka and the Misseriya. The Misseriya have warned that a referendum in which they are not participants cannot take place.

The Abyei region is rich in oil, one of the reasons both Sudans are reluctant to give it up. An African Union panel mediating talks between the countries last year proposed a referendum to be held in Abyei this month to determine which country the region would join. The AU proposal said only the permanent residents of Abyei would be allowed to vote in the referendum. That proposal was rejected by Sudan, which does not agree with South Sudan over who should be eligible to vote.

While South Sudan says only the Ngok Dinka should vote, Sudan insists the Misseriya – nomads who spend up to six months in the area – should also participate. Khartoum has argued against any unilateral action in Abyei, with Foreign Minister Ali Karti saying the dispute can only be resolved through negotiations between the two countries.

According to a cooperation agreement signed last year, both Sudans were expected to set up an interim administrative body in Abyei comprised of representatives from the Dinka Ngok and Misseriya ethnic groups. They were also expected to set up a police force and a legislative council, with the Ngok Dinka taking 60 percent of the seats and the rest going to the Misseriya.

However, that plan has stalled amid disagreement over who should chair the council.

South Sudan President Salva Kiir wrote to the African Union recently urging it to do more to end the deadlock over Abyei, saying he saw no possibility of reaching an accord with Sudan anytime soon.

Roseville police spokesman Lt. Cal Walstad said that one Roseville police officer with a jaw wound and a federal immigration agent shot Sammuel in the leg remain Nathan Duran hospitalized Saturday. Four other Roseville officers injured by shrapnel were treated and released.

The suspect, 32-year-old Samuel Nathan Duran, was taken to the Placer County Jail on Saturday after being treated for scrapes and cuts after surren-

dering just after midnight.

Authorities say he is being held on a parole violation, and will be charged with attempted murder.

Ke$ha banned from performing in Malaysia KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Authorities in Muslim-majority Malaysia have banned a planned concert by U.S. pop singer Ke$ha after deciding it would hurt cultural and religious sensitivities.

Concert organizer Livescape said it received a letter about the decision on the eve of the show that was to be held Saturday at a Kuala Lumpur stadium.

The Ministry of Communications and Multimedia said separately that it was rejecting the application for Ke$ha to perform for reasons of religion and culture.

Some Saudi women defy ban on driving in protest

By ABDULLAH AL–SHIHRI and AYA BATRAWY The Associated Press RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – More than 60 women across Saudi Arabia claimed they drove cars Saturday in defiance of a ban keeping them from getting behind the wheel, facing little protest by police in their push for easing restrictions on women in the kingdom.

The campaign’s message is that driving should be a woman’s choice. The struggle is rooted in the kingdom’s hardline interpretation of Islam known as Wahabbism, with critics warning that women driving could unravel the very fabric of Saudi society.

Although no laws ban women from driving in Saudi Arabia, authorities do not issue them licenses. Women who drove on Saturday had driver’s licenses from abroad, activists said.

Activist Aziza Youssef, a professor at King Saud University, and another activist said protest organizers received 13 videos and about 50 phone messages from women showing or claiming they had driven. She said they have no way to verify the messages.

May Al Sawyan, a 32-yearold mother of two and an economic researcher, told The Associated Press that she drove from her home in Riyadh to the grocery store and back.

Activists uploaded a four-minute video of her driving to the campaign’s YouTube account.

Al Sawyan said she was prepared to be jailed if caught by authorities. She said she was far enough from a police car that she was not spotted.

“I just took a small loop,”

Your

AP photo

In this image made from video provided by the Oct. 26th driving campaign, a Saudi woman drives a vehicle Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. she said. “I didn’t drive for a long way, but it was fine.”

Al Sawyan’s husband and family waited at home and called her nervously when she arrived at the store to check on her, she said. She drove with a local female television reporter in the car. They were both without male relatives in the vehicle, which in itself defies the country’s strict norms requiring women to have a male relative in public.

“I am very happy and proud that there was no reaction against me,” Al Sawyan said.

It is not clear if police turned a blind eye to women driving or simply did not see the scattered, quick spins around towns. An AP journalist in Riyadh said there were no roadblocks or checkpoints set up to watch for female drivers. He saw only a few law enforcement vehicles on the road.

A security official said authorities did not arrest or fine any female drivers on Saturday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Ahead of the protest, au-

thorities offered mixed messages, perhaps cautious not to push too hard against the kingdom’s religious establishment.

Hard-line clerics say women driving will lead to “licentiousness.” A prominent cleric also caused a stir when he said that medical studies show driving a car harms a woman’s ovaries.

The ministry that oversees the police warned that violators who “disturb public peace” would be dealt with forcefully. The statement catered to conservatives who saw this as directed at women drivers, but was also interpreted by reformers to be directed at anyone who harasses women drivers.

“This is part of the politics,” said Youssef, the activist and professor. “My analysis is that government is doing all this to protect ladies from the harassers.”

Saturday’s campaign is in stark contrast to the kingdom’s first major driving protest in 1990, which saw 50 women arrested. They ultimately had their passports confiscated and lost their jobs.

Bill currently in the House Rules Committee Video: Ex-soldier • TAX BREAK Continued from page A1 the number of people entering Medicaid.

“In an ideal situation, the best care of loved ones rests with family members. It’s not always the case, but when it is, what can we do to alleviate some of the financial burden on families who choose to care for their family mem-

cash-strapped state government money because it costs less and is preferred by most patients.

“With Illinois at its fiscal breaking point and Medicaid continuing to be an enormous driver of state spending, the state must adopt new approaches that will save money while delivering quality care,” the report stated.

About 12 million people nationwide require home

bers?” Wheeler said.

A homeowner currently can exempt improvements from assessment for four years from the date of completion and occupancy up to the fair cash value or $75,000. Wheeler’s bill increases the maximum to $100,000.

A 2010 report by the Illinois Homecare and Hospice Council cited home health care as a way to save the

health care to some extent, according to a 2010 report from the National Association for Home Care and Hospice. Almost two-thirds are women, and about 70 percent are 65 or older.

The bill is in the House Rules Committee awaiting assignment to the appropriate committees for hearings.

The General Assembly is scheduled to return to regular session next January.

Health care marketplace problems began Oct. 1 • HEALTH CARE Continued from page A1 is more closely associated with Obama personally and long has been unpopular with the majority of the American people.

The longer the technical problems persist, the more likely they are to affect the delicate balance of enrollees needed in the insurance marketplace in order to keep costs down.

“There’s no question the issue has legs, in part because it affects so many Americans very directly and in part because the glitches with the website are simply one of many fundamental problems with this law,” GOP pollster Whit Ayres said.

The cascade of computer problems began Oct. 1, when sign-ups opened for the mar-

ketplaces at the center of the law. Administration officials blamed the problems on high volume, but have since acknowledged more systemic issues with HealthCare.gov.

White House officials contend the website is just one piece of the broader law offering an array of benefits.

They say that when the online issues are fixed – the latest esti- Kathleen mate is the site Sebelius will be work- Health and ing normally Human for most users Services by the end of secretary November – few people will remember the problems that have marred the opening weeks of the sixmonth enrollment window.

“It says a lot about Republicans that their focus here is

not on helping Americans get insured, but on making political hay of this mess,” said Dan Pfeiffer, Obama’s senior adviser.

For GOP lawmakers, the White House’s stumbles on the Affordable Care Act have come at an optimal time, just one week after their strategy to shut down the government in exchange for concessions on health care imploded.

The health care debacle has overshadowed some of the Republican missteps and the GOP appears more than happy to keep the spotlight where it is.

Republicans have scheduled a series of congressional hearings on the program’s shortcomings, and have called for officials, including Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, to be fired. She is set to testify this coming week before a House

committee.

Kevin Madden, a GOP strategist, said Republicans should be wary of overreach, and he urged the party to “focus on the basics” in the hearings.

If they do, he said, “they can really align themselves with a lot of public anxiety about what’s wrong with Washington.”

Anxiety about the website’s problems also appears to be on the rise among members of the president’s own party, a worrisome sign for the White House.

Ten Democratic senators urged Sebelius in a letter to extend the insurance enrollment window beyond the March 31 deadline; White House officials say they don’t believe that will be necessary. Also, Democratic leaders have been critical about the seeming lack of preparedness for the signup rollout.

cause of the patients’ inability to pay.

At Centegra, the effort to try to recoup some of its uncompensated care costs has involved the group’s financial counselors more accurately identifying a patient’s financial situation to ensure they apply and receive charity care.

Officials so far have seen success, Westerkamp said.

Bad debt accounted for 64 percent of Centegra’s uncompen-

sated care costs in 2010 and through increased consultation, officials have decreased it this year to 46 percent.

Centegra will try to diminish that percentage further through increased collection and consultation efforts, Westerkamp said. The effort also will help Centegra maintain its profitability as a community health care provider.

Illinois hospitals alone tallied more than $1.5 billion in uncompensated care in 2012, according to figures from the Illinois Hospital Association.

Hospitals throughout the United States racked up $41 billion in 2011, a near $2 billion increase from 2010, according to the latest figures from the American Hospital Association.

Unpaid hospitals bills also was the number one cause for bankruptcy filings this year, according to a summertime study from NerdWallet Health, a price comparison website that analyzed national health care data. Roughly two million Americans were estimated to file for bankruptcy because of unpaid medical bills.

Uncompensated care for hospitals generally falls between bad debt and charity care. Bad debt involves situations where the hospital may have expected payment for services, but never received it because of a patient’s unwillingness to pay or the hospital’s failure to identify the patient’s financial situation.

Charity care offers free or discounted care to those patients who financially cannot afford the care provided to them. Patients will work with the hospital on repaying services under charity care, even though the hospital never expected to receive payment be-

70

to make sure that we are collecting as much or all of the dollars that patients or insurance carriers have the ability to pay,” Westerkamp said.

Across Illinois, hospitals totaled roughly $900 million in bad debt and $600 million in charity care in 2012, said Danny Chun, a spokesperson for the Illinois Hospital Association.

Like Centegra, many hospitals are intensifying consultations and assistance programs to ensure that patients are receiving charity care, he said.

Many patients included in those bad debt figures are eligible for charity care but may be reluctant to admit their inability to pay, Chun said.

The escalating trend in uncompensated care also will likely diminish, as uninsured patients start to enroll in the expanded Medicaid program and subsidized insurance exchange offered in the Affordable Care Act, Chun said.

The association expects 700,000 to 1 million of the 1.8 million uninsured Illinoisans to enroll and receive coverage from the landmark law. But the association doesn’t yet know the exact number, since the law’s online enrollment has been plagued by malfunctions.

“We don’t know how much and when,” Chun said. “Theoretically, though, more than half of the uninsured in Illinois will get coverage and that will decrease the cost of unreimbursed care.”

suicide-bombed Egypt official The ASSOCIATED PRESS CAIRO – An ex-Egyptian army officer carried out the suicide bombing last month that unsuccessfully targeted the country’s interior minister, a video posted online Saturday by al-Qaida-inspired militants claims.

The failed car bomb assassination and increasing attacks in the country’s lawless Sinai Peninsula raise fears of an escalating Islamic militant campaign of revenge over the July 3 military coup that ousted Egypt’s first democratically elected president and his Muslim Brotherhood-led government. Those worries saw soldiers escort teachers to class for the first day of school Saturday in the Sinai, as well as Christians cancel a planned festival in southern city of Luxor.

Military officials reached

by The Associated Press declined to comment about the video posted in the name of the Ansar Jerusalem militant group, which has carried out other attacks in the Sinai. But it comes as security officials already fired one police officer over alleged ties with Islamists.

The video posted on militant websites shows a man identified as Waleed Badr, who wears a uniform with a

rank of a major. He says in the video that the Egyptian army is “bent on fighting religion” and “loves America” more than Egyptians.

The video also shows a car in streets described as being close to the home of Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim in Cairo. It shows the minister’s motorcade and provided a description of his armored SUV. The video does not explain, however, why the Sept. 5 bombing failed to kill Ibrahim. The blast killed one bystander and injured 22.

Ansar Jerusalem already claimed responsibility for last week’s bomb attack on a military intelligence compound in the Suez canal city of Ismailia and for a suicide car bomb attack on a security headquarters in the town of el-Tor in southern Sinai on Oct. 7. Earlier, the group claimed attacks on gas pipelines to Israel, rockets attacks targeting Israel and a 2012 shootout along the Israeli-Egyptian border in which three militants and an Israeli soldier were killed.

An unnamed narrator in the video says officials fired Badr, who graduated from a military academy in 1991, from the army because he used to criticize officers for not being pious.

Prisoner says foreigners fight in Nigeria’s uprising The ASSOCIATED PRESS LAGOS, Nigeria – Extremists from three neighboring countries are fighting in Nigeria’s northeastern Islamic uprising, according to an alleged captured extremist whose account reinforces fears that one of Africa’s most powerful Islamic militant groups is growing closer to al-Qaida affiliates and that radical movements are spilling across national boundaries.

“We do have members from Chad, Niger and Cameroon who actively participate in most of our attacks,” said a young man presented to journalists Friday night by Nigeria’s military as a captured fighter of the Boko Haram terrorist network.

The claim of foreign fighters indicates the growing influence of Boko Haram, which started out as a machete-wielding gang and that now wages war with armored cars, rocket-propelled grenades and improvised explosive devices in its mission to force all of Nigeria – Africa’s largest oil producer and a country of 160 million that has almost equal numbers of Christians and Muslims – to become an Islamic state.

Boko Haram poses the biggest security threat in years to the cohesion of Nigeria, already riven by sectarian, tribal and regional divisions that often explode into bloodletting, amid power struggles ahead of elections in 2015 that likely will be contested by the

current president, a fundamentalist Christian.

A harsh military crackdown in three northeastern states covering one-sixth of the country since mid-May has forced Boko Haram out of major cities and towns, but the security forces appear unable to prevent regular extremist attacks on soft targets like school pupils in which hundreds have been killed in recent months.

President Goodluck Jonathan’s government, which is struggling to control the Islamic rebellion, for the first time presented an alleged Boko Haram fighter, a 22-year-old walking on crutches because of a bullet wound suffered when he was captured in a recent attack.

Hold line on salaries in D-47 Teachers in Crystal Lake District 155 generally have been doing a great job educating local students.

The district’s four high schools – Crystal Lake South, Crystal Lake Central, For the record Prairie Ridge and Cary-Grove We support teachers, but we – score well when can’t support union demands compared with other area and to increase already generous state schools on salaries and benefits. standardized tests and ACTs. Can improvements be made? Of course. That can be said of any school district – any organization, really – in the country.

Our point is, we appreciate the job that District 155 teachers are doing and thank them for helping to prepare our high school-aged children for adulthood.

That said, we can’t support their union if it is looking for taxpayers to pay more toward their salaries and benefits.

District 155 teachers have been working on an expired contract since July 1. Their union has been in negotiations with the school board for many months, and is frustrated that a deal has not yet been reached.

Because the negotiations have been conducted in secret, the public does not know what kind of compensation package the union is seeking. There’s little doubt, however, that it’s seeking increases.

Teachers in the district already receive an average salary of $94,866. That’s a lot of money.

The median household income in Crystal Lake is $77,550, according to the latest estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau. Keep in mind that’s household income. Two-income families skew that number higher.

District 155 spent $1.8 million more than the tax dollars it took in last fiscal year.

If salaries and benefits remain flat this fiscal year, the district would finish with about a $200,000 surplus. But every 1 percent in salary increases costs the district about $500,000 in additional expenses. So even a 1 percent increase could cause a $300,000 deficit.

We support teachers. They play a key role in preparing our children for adulthood. And, as we’ve said, teachers in District 155 generally do a great job. But we also support taxpayers. And taxpayers in the district already pay too much.

The District 155 school board needs to hold the line on teacher salaries that already are generous, and the union should be willing to accept that.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Great library To the Editor: In Crystal Lake, what is old and wise, plus full of energy and a spirit of innovation? It is a place with dedicated people serving us.

It’s a place in which to learn, to enjoy, to discover new ideas and new methods. Where is this public gathering place for us residents? It is our 100-year-old library.

Within its old walls we experience state-of-the art technology in a computer section where staff help keep us up-to-date with understanding the latest software.

These professionals educate us to further learn new skills to cope with the worldwide explosion of new information.

I think of my library as a community center that attracts every age group. Look at the children’s section, where moms and dads bring their preschoolers for innovative programs that foster a love of learning. Our librarians always are creating something new that will

intrigue school-age children and challenge teenagers.

In spite of the crowded conditions, there still is one room left for groups to gather to hear erudite speakers discuss with the group issues of importance. This library is very contemporary with its large collection of books on CDs. Commuters, insomniacs and the visionimpaired just love these CDs. The latter also appreciate the selection of large-print books.

It is no wonder that our library was judged to be one of the 10 best libraries in the U.S. Rosemary Kurtz Crystal Lake

Run amok To the Editor: The recent letter to the editor by Mr. Scott Shalek (Oct. 8) brought to our attention that his Blue Cross Blue Shield premium was going to increase $210 for comparable coverage under the Affordable Care

Act. I too have Blue Cross Blue Shield coverage, and I’m appalled at the increase I’m facing.

Where Mr. Shalek and I differ is that I contend that those increases are more corporate greed than attributable directly to the ACA. In a six-year period, my BCBS premiums rose 159 percent for healthcare coverage. Over the course of those six years, I repeatedly raised my deductible from $1,000 to $5,000 in order to keep costs as low as possible. Increases over those years averaged 13 percent, but only because I kept raising my

deductible to keep premiums affordable. If I would have left the deductible at $1,000, I’m afraid I may have been looking at an average of 25 percent annual increases.

If my customers faced a 25 percent increase in my billable rate annually, I’m fairly certain I’d have no business at all.

However, we’re at the mercy of the health-care industry that has run amok for years and will proceed to do so even under the auspices of ACA. Russ Foszcz Richmond

Obamacare proving to be the disaster conservatives predicted “Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

– The White Queen, “Alice in Wonderland” The more President Barack Obama talks about the supposed joys of his Affordable Health Care law, the more he resembles a political Mad Hatter, devoid of reason, absent logic and ignorant of facts.

Last week, Obama blamed the “slow, wonky” rollout of health insurance enrollment on too many people trying to log onto the government’s new marketplace website at the same time. He labeled the false start “glitches.” This isn’t a glitch; it’s a disaster.

The administration is asking for a lifeline from the private sector to offer technical help.

Ponder this for a moment: The very people who claim they are sufficiently competent to run health care, which constitutes about one-sixth of the nation’s economy,

can’t manage to launch a workable website, even though they had at least three years to set it up. Keep in mind this is also the same government that is having trouble making Medicare and Social Security permanently solvent.

The Obama administration has spent $200 million on its flawed marketplace system to sign up (so far) untold “thousands” – the president said thousands – not the 7 million, out of 40 million uninsured, he and other top officials predicted. He now wants to spend even more to hire people who actually know what they are doing. Why didn’t the administration consult Silicon Valley first?

Let’s put it in a way everyone can understand. You buy a can of sardines at the supermarket only to discover when you get home that the tin has been recalled because its contents are tainted and may make you sick. You return the sardines to the store, but instead of simply exchanging the tainted ones for

VIEWS Cal Thomas untainted ones, the manager wants to charge you again for an untainted tin. Would that be fair? Would it be legal? Don’t think so.

From the beginning, Obamacare was a tainted tin of sardines. It can’t live up to its promises. It can’t deliver health insurance we are used to at affordable prices. People are being laid off, not hired, reduced to part-time employment. They cannot shoulder the burden of purchasing overpriced, mismanaged health care.

They’d like to exchange Obamacare for something that works, but the administration won’t take back the tainted fish. And now we all will have to pay, and pay...

The British have tried to central-

ize health care. They quickly saw health-care costs rise as the quality and availability of qualified medical treatment declined. Obamacare and the single-payer system that will likely follow (perhaps along with rationing) might eventually be available for all, but at a personal and monetary price most Americans will be unwilling to pay.

Take for example the Canadian Supreme Court. Adam Goldenberg of Slate.com reports that the court recently ruled that in Ontario, a panel of “adjudicators” appointed by the government may overrule a family’s wishes when it comes to keeping a patient on life support.

Death panels, anyone?

All inhumanities begin at the extremes, but when a precedent has been established it is difficult to reverse it.

Remember the many promises the president made to sell the Affordable Care Act to the public, including “if you like your current

policy you can keep it” and “premiums will actually go down.” People are now opening letters from their insurance companies that tell a different story.

Many companies are telling them they can’t keep the policy they have, and in some cases their policies are being canceled. Others have been jolted with the news that their premiums are going up beyond their ability to pay.

Talk radio shows are hearing from listeners, including disappointed and outraged Obama voters, who realize now they fell for a lie.

ecoleman@shawmedia.com McHENRY – A retreat for families in crisis is the beneficiary of fundraiser set for Saturday.

The Collier House benefit includes a spaghetti dinner, raffles, silent auctions and live entertainment from Just Duet. St. John’s Northwestern Military Academy color guard will post the colors, and its Silver Rifles Drill Team will perform.

It will be from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at the McHenry Veterans of Foreign Wars Post, 3002 W. Route 120, McHenry.

The cost is $15 for adults, $10 for children 4 to 9 years old, and the event is free for those 3 years old and younger.

Tickets do not need to be

bought in advance.

Collier House is a two-bedroom retreat that provides free, short-term housing to families in crisis, including the families of young adults in recovery or the Gold Star families of military personnel who died during the War on Terror.

Proceeds from the event will go toward maintenance and upkeep of the house, said Sandy Barcus, Collier Barcus’ mother and the nonprofit’s president.

The long-term goal is to raise enough money to pay off the mortgage.

The nonprofit that operates Collier House was founded in memory of U.S. Army Spc. Collier Barcus of McHenry, who was killed in action July 8, 2004, while stationed in Iraq.

Charles Miller Road work starts winding down

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com We start this week with the wrapping up of the widening of the Charles Miller Road bridge to two, two-lane spans:

• CHARLES MILLER ROAD: Work on the first phase of the Miller Road and bridge widening is finishing up. The new two-lane bridge span is finished, all lanes are open to traffic and the traffic light at Miller and River roads is operational.

Pavement markings are being finished this weekend, and no lane closures or delays are expected until the week of Nov. 4.

The second phase, set to start next year, widens Miller Road west to Route 31 and improves the intersection of Miller Road, Route 31 and Bull Valley Road.

• JOHNSBURG ROAD: Paving will continue into this week, along with striping and landscaping work. The new traffic signals at Spring Grove Road and Riverside Drive are scheduled to be activated next month.

The ongoing project will create a two-way continuous left lane in the middle of the road between Route 31 and Chapel Hill Road, and a roundabout where Johnsburg Road, St. Johns Avenue and Chapel Hill Road meet. The improvement project is about 90 percent finished.

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

• I-90 INTERCHANGE: Work is expected to wrap up by the end of the year to convert the Interstate 90 and Route 47 intersection into a full interchange.

Most recently, westbound I-90 traffic exiting to Route 47, and Route 47 traffic entering I-90 eastbound, have been shifted to new ramps.

Photos by Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@ shawmedia.com

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

Shifts are taking place at the Marengo Toll Plaza, a 5-mile stretch near Elgin and a 7-mile stretch near Belvidere.

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

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

District needs $240K from fund balances to move deal forward • REFINANCE Continued from page B1 Finance and Operations Jeffrey Schubert said. The 2019 maturity date on the bonds would stay the same.

District 26 also has bonds sold in 2005 still outstanding and scheduled to be repaid through 2020. Depending on interest rates, about $8.4 million of those bonds potentially could be refinanced next year, Schubert said.

By doing that, the district could save about $1 million over the life of the bonds.

The 2004 bonds went toward construction projects at Prairie Hill School and Cary Junior High, board member Scott Coffey said.

“There’s significant interest expense savings that can be had by refinancing today,” Coffey said. “Those bonds were issued in 2004 at higher interest rates. Now we could go out sometime in January and refinance them at substantially lower rates. All that interest savings will be recognized by the taxpayer.”

The district would have to kick in $240,000 from fund balances to help move the deal forward.

This is expected to be finalized in December or January, Coffey said.

Within the next three to four months, after the refinancing is finalized, the district’s debt will be at its lowest point in about a decade, Coffey said.

The school district also is preparing its annual tax levy for its day-to-day operating funds, not including its bond and interest levy.

“There’s significant interest expense savings that can be had by refinancing today. Those bonds were issued in 2004 at higher interest rates. Now we could go out sometime in January and refinance them at substantially lower rates. All that interest savings will be recognized by the taxpayer.”

Scott Coffey District 26 School Board member tem captures any new growth, it is requesting a 4.95 percent increase over last year’s levy, by asking for $20.9 million in property-tax dollars.

Because the district is tax capped, it expects to only receive an increase of 1.7 percent over last year’s levy of $19.9 million, which is the rate of inflation under the consumer price index.

Under Property Tax Extension Law Limit, taxcapped communities and taxing bodies can increase their annual levies by 5 percent or the rate of inflation, whichever is less.

The tax levy request is scheduled to be adopted by the school board in November, but the final tax rate will not be set until assessed values on existing and new property are set in the spring.

“Everything being equal, it’s going to go up 1.7 percent,” Coffey said.

afternoon, where they were given a check for $3,600 from Tackle for Pink.

Parents in the Huntley Youth Football program nominated local families in need of assistance because of the financial burdens of a family struggling with a loved one affected by cancer.

The Erickson family was chosen as the 2013 recipient.

Bouncing and giggling in the arms of Huntley Mustangs coach, Chris Behles, one would never know the challenges this little fighter has overcome.

“The kids know there’s a little boy in the community that has challenges that they don’t and they need to help him out,” Behles said.

Tackle for Pink was founded by Huntley Youth Football President Ron Ricciardi in memory of his younger brother, Pasquale, who at the age of 21 lost his battle with pediatric cancer. Ricciardi has seen firsthand the struggles of families dealing with pediatric cancer and wanted to bring awareness to families in need in his own community.

Ricciardi said he wanted to make Huntley Youth Football more than just an athletic program.

“It is a bigger picture, a bigger fight,” Ricciardi said.

The Erickson family was all smiles during the event, and Matthew was awarded a medal and Mustangs helmet, which matched the Mustangs T-shirt he was wearing.

The program choose Matthew and his family to be the recipient of the first Tackle for Pink charity donation.

“It’s pretty emotional,” Erickson said. “To know that people from the community that don’t even know us are taking such a stand to help us out.”

Erickson said Matthew is doing well, and they’re looking forward to celebrating his 2nd birthday Dec. 11.

“He’s always happy and smiling,” Erickson said. “He wakes up in the morning and pops his eyes open and just looks up at you with a big smile. He never cries.”

Matthew’s tumor has not grown in 14 months, but he continues to suffer from hydrocephalus, which is a

buildup of fluid in the cavities within the brain increasing the size of the ventricles and putting pressure on the brain. While there still are many challenges ahead, the family remains hopeful.

“He’s thriving,” Erickson said. “There’s a light in his eyes.”

“He’s always happy and smiling. He wakes up in the morning and pops his eyes open and just looks up at you with a big smile. He never cries.”

It will give Ryan a chance to learn a new area.

When she returns, Ryan will put that knowledge to

As a requirement, she said, she will plan at least three space-related programs in the first year after the program.

HILDEGARD L. DOERDELMANN (NEE RÜCKWART) Born: Oct. 27, 1936; in East Prussia Died: Oct. 23, 2013 WOODSTOCK – Hildegard L. Doerdelmann (nee Rückwart), born Oct. 27, 1936, in Klein Altendorf, Kreis Rastenburg in East Prussia, died peacefully at home with her family Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2013, after a courageous battle with colon cancer.

Hildegard is survived by the love of her life of 51 years, Siegfried “Siggi”; her loving and devoted son, Sig (Andrea) Doerdelmann; cherished grandchildren, Megan and Ken; as well as loyal friends who visited every weekend and kept Mom’s spirits up, Dorothy (the late Andy) Quella, special friend, Barb Rzeczkowski and her husband Jim, and their children Mary and Jason; and extended family and friends.

In Germany, son Rudi (Birgit) Krahl; and grandson, Christopher; her brothers and sisters, Christine (Dieter) Steiner, Siglinde Beyer, Wolfgang (Rosi) Rückwart, Peter (Elke) Rückwart, Steffi (Detlef) Krill and Edeltraud Rückwart (Rudi); sister-in-law, Resi (the late Günter) Dördelmann; and nieces, Petra (Oliver) Mischke and Heike (Reiner) Nuemann; and extended family.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Otto and Anna; sister, Margot; and brother, Robert.

She was loved by everyone that knew her and will be deeply missed.

Hildegard escaped East Germany as a teenager and married Siegfried on Dec. 15, 1961. In 1968, she came to the United States and lived in Franklin Park, Hoffman Estates and Woodstock. She was a homemaker and professional tailor, but most of all she was a loving mother, Oma (grandmother) and friend. Family was always the center of her life.

She enjoyed the simple things: watching the birds in their yard, playing cards, cooking fabulous German meals, making jam, baking, gardening and visiting with family.

She treasured her trips home to Germany to be with her brothers and sisters. Hildegard was a wonderful person, giving beyond measure, quiet but with unwavering strength, never complaining through her many years of illness.

There was never a person she met that wasn’t a friend.

Family and close friends will have a private gathering to celebrate her life.

We hope that anyone who knew

IHSA GIRLS TENNIS STATE TOURNAMENT

CL Central doubles team shows grit, finishes 6th tral freshmen Danielle Burich and Erika Oku, 6-3, 6-1.

But it was their consolation semifinal match against another Hinsdale Central team at Rolling Meadows that Youel and Wallace will reEvelyn member.

Youel, Wallace win twice on final day

By ROB SMITH rsmith@shawmedia.com BUFFALO GROVE – The will to win propelled Crystal Lake Central’s Evelyn Youel and Jillian Wallace to a sixth-place finish Saturday at the IHSA Girls Tennis State Tournament.

In the fifth-place match, Youel and Wallace lost to Hinsdale Cen-

and Tigers coach Katie Lashbrook about not being ready for their season to end. After a championship quarterfinal loss Friday, every match had a lose-and-go-home scenario.

Jillian “In between the Wallace first and second sets we decided we’re going to do whatever it takes to win,” Youel said. “We just wanted to win.”

For Wallace, it was a clarifying

moment in the midst of the match that brought their goals, will and determination together.

“We had to take time to think about it during the match,” Wallace said. ”It’s a huge accomplishment for us.”

Playing in the wind and cold is tough, but Lashbrook said she was most impressed with how tough her doubles team was mentally in the consolation semis.

“It was unbelievable,” Lashbrook said. “They hung in there.

They never gave up.”

In the place match, Lashbrook

BOYS SOCCER: CLASS 3A DEKALB REGIONAL

PREP FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS

JACOBS HAPPY TO HOST Golden Eagles to face Conant in 1st round

DeKalb’s early goal stands up vs. Huntley

By ANTHONY ZILIS

By JOE STEVENSON AND JEFF ARNOLD

sportsdesk@shawmedia.com

joestevenson@shawmedia.com jarnold@shawmedia.com

DeKALB – The Huntley boys soccer team pressed and pressed with the wind at their backs over the final minutes of the Class 3A DeKalb Regional championship Saturday, but the Red Raiders just couldn’t finish after the Barbs scored an early goal.

After completing one of the most successful regular seasons in school history, Huntley couldn’t repeat last year’s regional championship win over DeKalb, and its run for a state championship fell short with a 1-0 loss.

“We knew they were going to try to counter us fast; we knew they were going to play hard,” Huntley coach Kris Grabner said. “I knew going in that the winner of this was the favorite in our sectional.

I haven’t changed my opinion. It’s upsetting because I have some players that I’ve grown very close with.”

Huntley (21-3-2) controlled possession for the first 10 minutes despite facing the strong wind, but the Barbs (19-2) scored first when forward Stephen Darko dispossessed a defender, sprinted into the penalty area and scored with 19:27 left in the half.

After failing to challenge the DeKalb goalkeeper for most of the first half, Reyman Solis and Eduardo Gonzalez fired shots wide from outside the penalty area.

The wind was so strong that it caused punts to drop almost straight to the ground, and the Red Raiders felt confident heading into the second half despite creating just a few chances early.

Jacobs’ football team had quite a weekend.

On Friday, the Golden Eagles defeated Dundee-Crown, 34-7, to win the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division outright, their first conference championship since 1979.

On Saturday, they learned they would be hosting a first-round game in the IHSA Class 7A playoffs. No. 6 seed Jacobs (7-2) hosts No. 11 Conant (6-3). The game has been tentatively scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Friday.

“We figured we’d be no lower than a [No.] 7 seed,” Jacobs coach Bill Mitz said. “I feel like we’re playing real well and we’re ready for the challenge.

We’re extremely happy to be at home.”

said that Youel and Wallace were closer than the score made it appear. A first-set win by the Tigers could have changed the whole dynamic of the match.

“A few errors separated the first set,” Lashbrook said. “I think a couple of bad shot decisions was the difference.”

Youel and Wallace, both seniors, have been doubles partners since their freshman season. They were happy with their accomplishments but sad to see it end.

“I wish it wasn’t over,” Youel said.

CLASS 3A CRYSTAL LAKE SOUTH REGIONAL

McHenry stops CL South for title

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Based on how the tightly contested Class 3A Crystal Lake South Boys Soccer Regional had played out to that point, McHenry and the host Gators knew goals would be at a premium.

It came as no surprise then when regulation and overtime came and went in Saturdays’ regional final with neither team managing to score. Facing off in penalty kicks, top-seeded McHenry outlasted No. 3 South to win, 1-0, for its first regional title since 2007.

The Warriors (12-8-3), which won the penalty kicks, 3-1, play DeKalb in a Huntley Sectional semifinal Wednesday.

Scoreboard Saturday’s championship McHenry 1, Crystal Lake South 0 (PKs)

McHenry advances to play DeKalb on Wednesday in a Huntley Sectional semifinal.

“We practiced [penalty kicks] and we knew what we had to do,” McHenry defender Evan Hying said. “We play McHenry style, which is high pressure, high energy, so [coach] just told us to keep going at it.”

Hying converted McHenry’s first attempt after South’s first penalty kick was off target, giving the Warriors the early advantage.

South tied it on Jake Canfield’s conversion, but after a McHenry miss, senior goalkeeper Frankie Valle stopped South’s ensuing attempt.

The Warriors’ Mike Lawrence and Ryan Uhl made McHenry’s next two kicks to secure the win. Valle finished with four saves, including one during penalty kicks.

“Just don’t get overwhelmed, stay calm and hope that I can put it in and do this for my team so we can move on,” Uhl said of his thoughts before his penalty kick.

“We just needed to want it more.

We came out and had a good game.”

The Gators (9-12-3) did a good job of limiting the Warriors’ opportunities during regulation.

fter calling his record-setting 24th World Series, Tim McCarver will sign off this week at the end of the Fall Classic. Sports editor Jon Styf and columnist Tom Musick discuss: Musick: Love him or hate him, Tim McCarver has been a part of my Octobers for as long as I can remember.

Now, the 72-year-old is stepping down.

How many broadcast giants do we have left calling games? And is it fair to think of McCarver as one of them?

Styf: The one giant I really care about in baseball is Vin Scully. Back when I had the MLB Package, I found myself watching Dodgers games for no reason.

And the way he called Yasiel Puig and what happened with the Dodgers’ turnaround this season was just about perfect. I don’t like McCarver as a broadcaster, but I can’t be too bitter because Mickey Lolich and the Detroit Tigers did get the best of him back in 1968.

Musick: Scully is perfect for baseball.

He’s observant, he’s understated, and he somehow comes across as conversational in a one-man booth. As far as baseball voices go, I’m probably in the minority when I say that I enjoy Joe Buck’s dry humor, and I’m probably in the majority when I say that Len Kasper is one of the main reasons I’ll stay tuned to Cubs games.

Styf: The largest problem I have in this debate is that I rarely watch sports with the volume on, and when I do it’s the Bears game. This year, they’ve had some awful, awful announcing, led by Thom Brennaman and Brian Billick calling the game against the Lions.

They missed several things, like Calvin Johnson hurting his knee on a run play (he missed the next game, at Green Bay, because of it) and Johnson’s knee coming down inbounds on a ball he bobbled and was then called incomplete.

Five times they replayed it, four times both guys missed what happened. After the fifth, Billick chimed in that maybe he bobbled it. Ya think?

Musick: Never trust a Thom. You’re right, though, both of them are brutal. I kind of wish Brent Musburger could call every football game in both college and the NFL. His Katherine Webb stuff was awesome, and I loved him going back and forth with Eminem about which one was the legend.

Styf: I am still astounded that one network lets Chris Berman do play by play, of real games. He would be great at NHRA or horse racing. OK, maybe it would just be tolerable because it was so short. But he’s still employed, still doing his thing, seemingly oblivious to all the noise around him. I have a soft spot for Dick Vitale, too, not necessarily for his announcing but for his excitement (and positivity, which may or may not be a word) and all of the positive charity work he does. My other favorites are John McEnroe and Johnny Miller. Honesty, blunt criticism and the willingness to say what you really think is effective.

Musick: So you’re the one! I knew somebody still watched tennis. OK, so if Berman asked to be a part of the McHenryCountySports.com “Friday Night Live” webcast, would you let him join you and Les in the booth?

Styf: If it means me having to talk less, than yes. It would probably temporarily be a viewership boost, too, watching the train wreck get even worse. As long as it doesn’t cut down on Les’ commentary. ...

Brian Bedo knew his competitive playing career was over once he graduated from Cary-Grove in 2003. But the lifelong sports enthusiast and Cubs fan who runs his own Cubs blog knew he wanted sports to be part of his future. After graduating from Bradley in 2007, Bedo now works as a parttime sports producer at WGN Radio and also calls college basketball and baseball games on television broadcasts on Comcast SportsNet Chicago at his alma mater and for other mid-major conferences.

When you call a game, I know it sounds like a cliche’, but it doesn’t seem like work. I’m a huge Cubs fan and so working on Cubs broadcasts is a lot of fun and getting to go work at Wrigley Field is a huge thrill. I love calling basketball for [Bradley].

I was a huge fan when I was there and that’s continued. So I more or less feel like a fan with a microphone in front of me. But you have to be objective. When you’re a broadcaster for a team as opposed to a network where you’re completely unbiased, I think fans want you to want the team to win. You want to be energetic when things go well, but you have to be objective. You have to recognize good play on the other side and you have to be objective whether it be with referees and umpires because I feel if you’re not objective and you speak with too much emotion, then you lose your credibility.

When I was growing up (playing) NBA Live ’93 with Michael Jordan, I was the guy who always to hit the game-winning shot and always announce it. If he missed it, I hit the reset button and do it again. I’d do that with the Cubs, too – with them not having too many great teams. I know they haven’t won a World Series since 1908, but in the ‘90s, I was a World Series broadcaster for every Cubs (video game) World Series team. I think they won in nine years in a row when I was playing the game. They nine-peated.

I did a (career day at C-G) two or three weeks ago and it was a little strange. I just had my 10-year reunion this summer and it doesn’t seem like I’ve been that gone. But I loved that high school – even when I was going there. So I enjoyed my day going back even though it was a little awkward. I remember being 18 and being a senior and thinking, ‘Let’s just get through this year so I can go to college.’

But it was good catching up with everyone. I had lunch with a couple of my baseball coaches and so even though it was a little strange going back, I had a great day.

I really haven’t lost any of my fandom. I’m still the biggest Cubs fan in the world and I still love Bradley basketball because at the end of the day, I look back and why I joined the (broadcasting) field and it’s because I love sports and I love these teams so much because otherwise, why would I be doing this? I understand (journalists lose the ability to be fans) almost all the time and, so I try and I do my best to realize why I do this in the first place.

I’m still living on the edge of my seat with a lot of these games. So I haven’t lost anything there. I try and do it less with the teams I’m covering or that I’m part of, but the teams that I’m not a part of, I definitely let the emotions out. I’m a Bulls season ticket holder, and I think they’re going to win the NBA title this year because they have no flaws.

So there are times when I allow myself to just be a fan.

8SPORTS SHORTS Darrell Wallace Jr. sets NASCAR milestone MARTINSVILLE, Va. – Darrell Wallace Jr. became the second black driver to win on NASCAR’s national level and first in a half-century, taking the Truck Series race Saturday at Martinsville Speedway.

Wendell Scott won in Jacksonville, Fla., in December 1963 in what is now known as the Sprint Cup Series, the highest of NASCAR’s three national levels.

Ailing Williams rallies, makes WTA final vs. Li ISTANBUL – Serena Williams

can’t be stopped, even when she hits the wall.

An exhausted Williams managed to hang on to beat Jelena Jankovic, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4, on Saturday and will play Li Na in the final of the WTA Championships.

Li advanced to her first WTA Championships final by sweeping 2011 winner Petra Kvitova 6-4, 6-2, setting up a showdown Sunday.

Stroud, Moore take share of lead at CIMB Classic KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Chris Stroud and Ryan Moore

overcame mistakes and bogeys on the back nine Saturday for a share of the lead after the third round of the CIMB Classic.

Stroud finished the day with a 4-under-par 68. Moore (69) opened a three-shot lead on the back nine only to bogey four of five holes to give it right back. Both were at 12-under 204, one stroke ahead of their nearest rivals.

Gary Woodland (67) and Kiradech Aphibarnrat (69) were a stroke back.

The tournament is an official PGA Tour event for the first time. The winner will receive a

two-year PGA Tour exemption and a spot in the Masters.

Guthrie, Cabrera-Bello tied for lead in Shanghai SHANGHAI – American Luke Guthrie stumbled at the end of the third round and wound up tied for the lead with Spain’s Rafa Cabrera-Bello in the BMW Masters.

Guthrie has led the European Tour event since his 65 in the opening round, and he had a three-shot lead at one point on the back nine at Lake Malaren.

But his tee shot caught the

bunker on the 16th, leading to a bogey. And he was in such an awkward spot on the 18th green that Guthrie felt his best option was to chip off the putting surface.

He missed an 8-foot putt to take another bogey for an evenpar 72.

Cabrera-Bello was far more efficient, keeping bogeys off his card in a round of 67. His final birdie on the par-3 17th turned out to be good enough for a share of the lead.

They were at 8-under 208, one shot ahead of Spain’s Gon-

zalo Fernandez-Castano (67).

Pettersen maintains lead at LPGA event in Taiwan YANGMEI, Taiwan – Defending champion Suzann Pettersen struggled with three early bogeys but recovered for a 1-over 73 to maintain a four-shot lead in the LPGA Taiwan Championship.

The Norwegian dropped three shots over the first five holes but had three birdies and just one more bogey the rest of the way to finish three rounds at 6-under 210.

GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY REGIONALS ROUNDUP

McHenry’s Opatrny pulls away in Palatine

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com PALATINE – That bit of pain in Lauren Opatrny’s right hip two months ago now seems like a distant memory.

The McHenry junior listened to her body, took precautions early in the season and pulled back on her training for three weeks. Opatrny looks all the better for it.

Halfway through the girls race at the IHSA Class 3A Palatine Regional Cross Country Meet, Opatrny seized control and was not seriously challenged. She won the individual title in 17:28, 11 seconds ahead of Palatine’s Sabina Yosif at Deer Grove East Park.

“In the beginning, there was a strong pack and I wanted to stick with them,” Opatrny said. “Then, during the second mile, the second-place girl really pace-pushed me and we separated. In practice yesterday, we did 400s and the last mile, I just did like I was in practice. It felt really good.”

Palatine won the girls team title with 28 points, followed by Barrington (87), Cary-Grove (100), Crys-

tal Lake South (112), Lake Zurich (113) and Grant (128). Those teams advanced. McHenry will send Opatrny and teammates Katy Purich, Ellie Gioia and Brianna Ferguson on to next week’s Schaumburg Sectional.

Dundee-Crown’s Anabel Aguirre-Michel also qualified. Purich finished seventh.

C-G was led by juniors Morgan Schulz (fifth) and Talia Duzey (11th).

South, which won the Fox Valley Conference Meet for the first time in school history last week, packed its five runners between 19th and 28th to take fourth. Caitlin Bruzzini, Debra Tomlinson and Kiley Britten led the Gators finishing 19th through 21st.

“I’m pretty happy with the way we ran,” C-G coach Mark Anderson said. “Confidence-wise this was good. Freshman Sarah Caesar really ran outstanding in 27th and really changed our fortunes today. We’re not going to sectional to get our butts kicked. They know after Palatine, that 2-7 is open and if we keep our pack tight, they’re going to be right there.”

Opatrny is eager for the next two weeks with sectional and the IHSA

Cross Country State Meet at Peoria’s Detweiller Park.

“All the practice is paying off,” she said. “All these big meets are so important. It’s so much fun and the team is so supportive. I’m feeling pretty good. I’m just so excited.”

Hononegah Regional: At Rockton, Jacobs ran to a regional championship with a 34-point performance.

The Golden Eagles won by 19 over second-place Huntley.

Lauren Van Vlierbergen of Jacobs took the top overall spot with a time of 17:22. Kayla Giuliano was second on the team with a finishing time of 19:32.

Huntley advanced to sectionals through its second-place finish. The Red Raiders were led by Kelly Meehleib, who finished with a time of 18:50. Kate Mitchell was second on the team with a final time of 19:39.

CLASS 2A Burlington Central Regional: Crystal Lake Central claimed the regional championship behind a 47-point ef-

fort. The Tigers won by 13 over second-place Vernon Hills. Central was led by third place overall finisher Maddie Dagley, who crossed the line with a time of 18:33. Mary Fleming finished in 18:40 for a fifth-place finish overall.

Prairie Ridge also will advance to sectionals after a fifth-place finish and 132-point performance. The Wolves were led by Erin Wagner, who finished in eighth with a time of 18:51.

Hampshire’s Natalia Sztukowski finish 28th place to qualify as an individual.

Sterling Regional: Marengo claimed the regional championship by 20 points over Belvidere North. The Indians finished with 51 points. Kitty Allen finished third overall with a time of 18:04. Allie Sprague finished fifth in18:36.

Woodstock North Regional: Woodstock advanced to sectionals after finishing second. The Blue Streaks had 60 points, 15 off the pace of regional champ Lakes. Woodstock had the two top overall finishers with Maura Beattie in first with a time of 18:18 and Kate Jacobs in second in 19:14.

Richmond-Burton also qualified

for sectionals. The Rockets finished fourth with 117 points.

Johnsburg and Woodstock North did not qualify in the team portion but did send a few individuals on to sectionals. Johnsburg’s Delaney Pruitt finished 14th in 20:39, and Anna Fox claimed the last individual qualifying spot with a 38th-place finish. Isabella Mazzanti of Woodstock North finished 28th in 21:21.

CLASS 1A Winnebago Regional: Harvard lost out on being regional champion after a tiebreaker. The Hornets and Byron tied for the top spot with 63 points, but Byron won the sixth-racer tiebreaker to take the championship.

The Hornets still advance as a team to sectionals.

Jordan Peterson led the way for Harvard with her third-place finish in17:34. Daphne Austin was ninth (18:23) and Morgan Logan was 10th (18:24).

Marian Central also advanced to sectionals behind a fourth-place finish of 106 points. The Hurricanes were led by freshman Abby Jones, who took fifth in 17:57.

BOYS CROSS COUNTRY REGIONALS ROUNDUP

Raiders lose 8 starters to graduation

McHenry’s Reiser learns, wins

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com PALATINE – McHenry junior Jesse Reiser made it look easy … as usual.

Reiser hung behind Palatine junior Graham Brown for the first part of the IHSA Class 3A Palatine Regional on Saturday, then made his move in the second mile.

“I just wanted to sit on Graham and have him block the wind for me a little bit,” Reiser said. “When we hit the second mile, I took off and he didn’t respond at all. He’s a great runner. After the second mile, I worked on my kick a little bit.”

Reiser won in 14:55 at Deer Grove East Forest Preserve, 15 seconds ahead of Brown. It was Reiser’s second individual regional title after winning the Grant Regional last year.

Reiser’s only loss this season came on the same course at the Palatine Invitational to York’s Alex Bashqawi by two seconds. He said after that race he learned sometimes he would have to hold back and not lead.

“I didn’t want to go out too relaxed,” Reiser said. “I wanted to go in the last mile like at state when it really gets moving. I learned a lot and used a lot of new strategies.”

Palatine won with 45 points, followed by Lake Zurich (60), Barrington (64), McHenry (108), Grant (118) and Crystal Lake South (132). The top six teams and top five individuals not on those teams advance to the Schaumburg Sectional.

South qualified for the sectional for the 10th consecutive year.

Cary-Grove will send four individual runners on to the sectional – Alex Ratkovich, San Seo, John Cody and Michael Saxon. DundeeCrown’s Todd Noreen is the other individual qualifier.

Rockton, Jacobs claimed the regional championship by a wide margin. The Golden Eagles finished with 35 points, 29 better than second-place Huntley. Matthew Johnson led Jacobs with a time of 15:35. Zachary Johnson was second on the team in 15:53.

Matthew Goldby (16:05) rounded out the team’s top three.

Huntley took second with 64 points. Keagan Smith was the top finisher with a time of 15:19.

Johnsburg was fourth with 105 points. Matte Stelmasek was eighth in 16:53. Noah Miller took 11th in 17:20.

Hononegah Regional: A t Jesse Reiser

R-B last of 256 teams to qualify • PLAYOFFS Continued from page C1 Ten local teams made the playoffs as Richmond-Burton (5-4) sneaked in with the final of 256 spots. The Rockets, with 36 playoff points (opponents’ wins), are a No. 16 seed and will play at No. 1 Evergreen Park (9-0).

Two other local teams will host first-round games, unbeaten Harvard, a No. 2 seed in Class 4A, and Crystal Lake Central, 8-1 and a No. 3 seed in Class 6A. Harvard hosts No. 15 St. Edward (5-4) and Central hosts No. 14 De La Salle (5-4).

Harvard finished its first unbeaten regular season since 1988 with a 21-0 victory over R-B on Friday.

Central has won seven consecutive games and won the FVC Fox Division title.

In Class 1A, No. 8 Alden-Hebron (6-3) is at No. 1 Stockton (9-0).

In Class 5A, No. 9 Marian Central (7-2) is at No. 8 Bremen (8-1), tentatively at 7 p.m. Friday. No. 12 Hampshire (6-3) is at No. 5 Kaneland (8-1).

In Class 6A, 2012 runner-up Cary-Grove (6-3) got a No. 9 seed and plays at No. 8 Guilford (7-2). No. 13 Prairie Ridge (5-4) plays at No. 4 Lakes (81). Prairie Ridge coach Chris Schremp said he plans for a Friday night game.

McHenry’s Luis Beltran (left) and Crystal Lake South’s Andrew Grabowski jump for a ball Saturday at South. McHenry won, 1-0.

CL South coach Allen proud of team’s effort • McHENRY Continued from page C1 McHenry didn’t record a shot on goal until there were 50 seconds remaining in regulation. South goalkeeper Gus Alvarez (three saves) turned away the shot to keep the match scoreless.

“We knew it was a deadeven [regional],” McHenry coach Tony Caruso said.

“Every team could have been any of the seeds, so we knew it was going to be a dogfight. We needed it to be a low-scoring game, and it was.”

The match didn’t end as the Gators had hoped, but

South coach Brian Allen was pleased with how his team performed. Although the Gators will lose eight seniors, the success they found in the playoffs should help set a foundation for success next season.

“I couldn’t have asked for anything more,” Allen said. “Literally, I think guys could not walk and were fighting with everything they had, going into their second or third tank they probably didn’t know existed. Hopefully, they realized after Wednesday’s comeback and today’s they’ve got everything to be proud of.”

“Honestly, I thought if we got out of the first half down one, it was in our favor,” Grabner said. “With this wind, them sitting doesn’t affect us if we play quick enough. We moved the ball, one-touch passing. I didn’t think [the deficit] was that big of a deal to be honest.”

Huntley controlled the second half with the Barbs sitting back. Jack Bessey and Niko Mihalopoulos had shots in the first six minutes, but they couldn’t break through.

Over the final 13 minutes, the Red Raiders had chance after chance, starting with Mihalopoulos’ shot from the edge of the penalty area that banged off the crossbar. The senior had two more shots in the next five minutes, sending a volley wide and putting a header from a long free kick just off frame.

“It did feel like a goal was coming,” Mihalopoulos said.

“We felt some luck in our favor; we felt the momentum coming toward us, and in the end, it was just unlucky. We hit the post, we had chance after chance.

The last pass we tried playing was not on our foot. It was very unlucky.”

As much as the Red Raiders tried, they couldn’t finish.

Eight senior starters who turned the Huntley soccer program around and won last year’s regional title saw their high school careers end.

“I think the legacy we left is, we’re the best team to ever play for this school,” Mihalopoulos said. “We were hoping to go farther with some trophies in our hands, but like I said, DeKalb played us good. We got unlucky.

I think the school will remember us very highly.”

Caleb Parson (left) is the leading rusher for Dundee-Crown, which will open the playoffs at Oak Park-River Forest.

The Wolves are one of the hottest offensive teams around. Their triple option has cranked out 154 points in the past three games.

“We thought it might be Lakes or [Crystal Lake] Central,” Schremp said. “Offensively, we’re happy it’s not someone we see in conference, that can be an advantage for us in the playoffs.”

In Class 8A, No. 13 Dundee-

Crown (6-3) makes a return to the playoffs for the first time since 1994 and plays at No. 4 Oak Park-River Forest (8-1).

“This is a significant thing for our school,” Chargers coach Vito Andriola said.

“It’s a great accomplishment, no doubt about it. This solidifies all of the hard work we’ve put in. We had to work our butts off, but we’re happy that we’re in the playoffs.”

The Marian Central girls volleyball team went 0-2 Saturday in the championship bracket of the Lyons Township Invitational to finish in fourth place. The Hurricanes (19-16) lost to Glenbrook North, 25-20, 25-14, and Lyons, 25-21, 21-25, 25-21.

Rachel Giustino led the way with 15 kills and five blocks. Alex Kaufmann had

45 assists, and Bethany Bucci added 28 digs in the two matches.

The Hurricanes will next be in action when they play in the Woodstock North Regional semifinals against either Richmond-Burton or Harvard on Tuesday.

Lake Park Tournament: At Roselle, Dundee-Crown went 1-2 on the second day of the tournament to finish in sixth place out of 12.

The Chargers beat Lake Park, 26-24, 25-20, and lost to Naperville North and Hersey.

Breanna Novak led the Chargers (16-19) with 16 kills and four aces Saturday. Kiana Mays had 12 kills, and Kailey Moll added 10 kills. Frankie Cavallaro had 45 assists, and Kaylee Sommers led the team with 19 digs.

HE BREAK Ready for sing-alongs?

CHICAGO – After 10 years here, this slow learner has picked up on a few trends.

One: Almost every suburb within 75 miles of Soldier Field seems to contain the word Oak, Park, River, Forest, Lake or some combination.

Two: Traffic updates are defined by travel times, not average miles per hour. This was a relatively easy concept to figure out, especially after I learned first-hand that no driver possibly could average 60 mph from O’Hare to downtown.

Three: Sports fans in this city love to sing.

As a press box dweller, which more or less is the modern version of a cave dweller, I’m reminded of the Hank Williams singing sports fans Jr. all of the time.

“Bear down, Chicago Bears…”

“Go, Cubs, go…”

“Go, go, go, go, Whiiiite Sox…” “Da, da-da-da, da-da-da…”

Throw in the first few notes of the Bulls’ pregame introduction music, courtesy of the Alan Parsons Project, and every bigtime team in town has some sort of anthem.

It makes sense to weave sports and songs together.

Why not? You sing when you’re happy. You’re happy when you’re at sporting events.

After all, you’re not at work.

You’re not sitting in traffic. Your attire probably includes comfortable pants, a comfortable shirt and globs of nacho cheese on both.

While tens of thousands sing in stadiums, others can sing along at

HubArkush.com is online Check it out, bookmark it and make it your homepage for Bears coverage going forward. Shaw Media’s Bears coverage has reached a new level and we hope you enjoy it.

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

Let’s open this with a caveat: Assuming Cutler returns from his injury and is playing at a similar, or higher level, than prior to the groin tear, it’s a no-brainer that the Bears need to keep him. It can be via the franchise tag or a long-term deal. This month has shown how few good quarterbacks there are in the NFL. Aside from Cutler, we’ve also seen the value of Wootton this month. When you consider his age (26), versatility to play end and three-technique, and the obvious need on the defensive line, the Bears would be wise to lock him up. –KF

PLAYER WHO SHOULD BE TOLD BUH-BYE Plenty of players with expiring contracts will head elsewhere after this season is over, and I nominate middle linebacker D.J. Williams to be the line leader. At 31 years old, Williams lasted only six games before a torn pectoral muscle ended his season. He has played 13 games in the past two seasons combined, and the Bears have a long-term replacement ready to go in the form of rookie Jon Bostic. –TM • Shaw Media sports columnist Tom Musick can be reached at tmusick@shawmedia.com and on Twitter @tcmusick.

BEARS INSIDER Tom Musick home.

It seems as though football’s answer to the seventh-inning stretch has become the pregame anthem.

No matter the night, no matter the network, you can count on somebody screaming at you during an up-tempo song to kick off the broadcast.

A national survey that was conducted this month by iHeartRadio asked listeners to rank their favorite football theme songs. It’s tough to argue with the survey results, which included answers from more than 1,000 people.

Hank Williams Jr., “All My Rowdy Friends Are Here on Monday Night” (ESPN Monday Night Football, 19892011) 35.1 percent Carrie Underwood, “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night” (NBC’s Sunday Night Football, 2013) 23.7 percent Pink, “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night” (NBC’s Sunday Night Football, 2006) 22.6 percent Faith Hill, “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night” (NBC’s Sunday Night Football, 2007-12) 14.2 percent Johnny Pearson, “Heavy Action” (ESPN Monday Night Football, 2011-present)

2.2 percent Priyanka Chopra, “In My City” (NFL Network’s Thursday Night Football, 2012-present) 2.2 percent As it turns out, Williams Jr. is a buffoon, but it’s impossible to argue with his anthem leading the way. As a middle-school and highschool student, any time I heard Williams open the Monday night broadcast with “Are you ready for some football?” my answer was yes. I also was ready to close my textbooks, for better or worse.

The Sunday night anthem is fine, although it would be better if each new singer debuted a new song. Also, is it bad that I have no recollection of Pink’s brief tenure as the Sunday night singer? And why didn’t she go with “Get the Party Started”?

As for “Heavy Action,” that sounds like a film genre featuring portly actors.

Not surprisingly, Thursday’s anthem finished tied for last.

Everything about Thursday night football is unsatisfying, including Chopra’s generic song that might feature the skyline of Chicago one week and Jacksonville the next.

But sports fans love to sing, so maybe it’s time to seek more prime-time games.

So, fine, let’s bring on Tuesday night football. Throw in Wednesday while we’re at it. And why leave Friday nights to high school teams?

New nights. New songs.

Bear down.

A little context needed for Bears The Bears are 4-3 heading into the bye compared to 6-1 after seven games a year ago. But it seems a bit of context is called for.

The Bears began the year with a brand new head coach and staff, new starters at every position on offense but quarterback, running back, one of the receiver spots and center, and four new starters on defense, including the nickel back.

The goal was dramatic improvement on offense while holding the line on defense.

Clearly, Jay Cutler is playing his best football under new coach Marc Trestman, in part because of his own improvements in efficiency and in part because the offensive line is doing so much better protecting him.

But it’s the production of Matt Forte that is the most impressive among individual players on offense. There is, however, a glitch in his numbers.

Forte has four runs of 44 yards or longer, totaling 205 yards. That means his other 112 carries for 328 yards have averaged just 2.9 yards a carry. Michael Bush has 24 carries for 44 yards, a 1.8 average.

There is a direct correlation between the inconsistency in the run game and the struggle to convert third downs and control time of possession. Those areas must improve to keep the team above water until Cutler returns from injury.

It also exposes the reality that there still is plenty of work to do on the offensive line. The use of Eben Britton at tight end as a sixth offensive lineman to protect Cutler is obviously working, but that

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush group must now establish it can blow people off the line and run much more consistently between the tackles.

Still, the offense is significantly improved with Trestman and offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer deserving a B+ or A-.

The defense is a completely different story.

Having allowed more than twice as many points as a year ago, Trestman, defensive coordinator Mel Tucker and their staff get a D. All that separates them from an F is the fact that they are somehow 4-3.

Unlike the offense, where all the key players have shown improvement, on defense Lance Briggs and Charles Tillman are the only players playing as well or better than they did last year.

You know they’re really in trouble when it’s difficult to determine what’s been worse, the defensive line play or the play at safety?

There is tremendous concern that the playoffs are out of reach with Cutler and Briggs joining Henry Melton, Nate Collins and D.J. Williams with serious injuries, but that is premature. If Josh McCown can play like he did in Washington until Cutler gets back, and veterans Julius Peppers. Corey Wootton, James Anderson, Tim Jennings and Tillman can play to their abilities, there is hope.

las, Cleveland and Philadelphia still on the schedule, in addition to Baltimore, Detroit and two with the Packers, there are plenty of winnable games left.

The biggest questions are how soon can Cutler and Briggs get back, and what will Trestman do until they do?

Kenseth chasing Johnson

By HANK KURZ Jr. The Associated Press

a lot more work.

“This one has just been, in general, a lot more work for me than other tracks.”

Johnson has no such problem, at Martinsville or seemingly anywhere, in Kenseth’s eyes.

“People always say, ‘Man, it’s a great track for Jimmie,’ he said. “Is there a bad one?”

Johnson laughed when told Kenseth said “you can almost pencil the 48 in” at Martinsville. Johnson said he only needs to look at the starting lineup to realize he’s got plenty of competition.

“We have had a good run over the years,” he said, slipping into a businesslike tone.

“I understand where that comes from based on past history, but again it doesn’t guarantee anything for this weekend.

“At most it’s flattering, but we’ve got to go out there and get to work.”

The Cardinals’ Allen Craig gets tangled with the Red Sox’s Will Middlebrooks during the ninth inning of Game 3 of the World Series Saturday in St. Louis. Middlebrooks was called for obstruction on the play and Craig went in to score the game-winning run. The Cardinals won, 5-4, to take a 2-1 lead in the series.

Obstruction call gives Cards win in Game 3 Next

The Associated Press ST. LOUIS – Third baseman Will Middlebrooks tripped Allen Craig for a game-ending obstruction call on Jon Jay’s ninth-inning grounder, giving the St. Louis Cardinals a bizarre 5-4 win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday night and a 2-1 World Series lead.

Boston had tied the score with two runs in the eighth, and Yadier Molina singled with one out in the ninth off loser Brandon Workman. Allen Craig pinch hit and lined Koji Uehara’s first pitch down the left-field line for a double that put runners on second and third.

With the infield in, Jon Jay hit a grounder to diving second baseman Dustin Pedroia. He threw home to catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, who tagged out the sliding Molina. Saltalamacchia threw offline past third, and Middlebrooks, with his stomach on the field, raised both legs and tripped Craig.

Third base umpire Jim Joyce immediately signaled obstruction, and even though a sliding Craig was tagged by Saltalamacchia at the plate following the throw by left fielder Daniel Nava, plate umpire Dana DeMuth signaled safe and then pointed to third, making clear the obstruction had been called.

The Red Sox scored twice in the eighth inning to tie it 4-all.

Jacoby Ellsbury led off with a single and Shane Victorino was hit by a pitch for the sixth time this postseason. Both runners moved up on Pedroia’s groundout, and David Ortiz was intentionally walked.

Cardinals manager Mike Matheny went to hard-throwing closer Trevor Rosenthal with the bases loaded, hoping for a five-out save from a rookie who has looked almost untouchable this October. But the Red Sox pushed two runs across.

Daniel Nava drove in one with a short-hop grounder that was smothered by second baseman Kolten Wong, who

Game 4: Boston (Buchholz 12-1) at St. Louis (Lynn 15-10), 7:15 p.m.

Sunday, St. Louis leads, 2-1. had just entered on defense in a double-switch.

Wong went to second for the forceout, but Nava beat the relay and Ellsbury scored to make it 4-3. Xander Bogaerts tied it when he chopped a single up the middle.

Brandon Workman jammed Matt Holliday and retired the slugger on a routine fly with two on to end the bottom of the eighth. That sent the game to the ninth tied at 4.

Holliday’s two-run double puts the Cardinals on top 4-2 in the seventh.

It was a tough inning for Red Sox reliever Craig Breslow.

Matt Carpenter reached safely when he checked his swing on an infield single to shortstop.

Carlos Beltran was grazed on the elbow pad by a pitch – making no effort to get out of the way.

Beltran, in fact, almost appeared to stick his elbow out just a tiny bit to make sure the ball made contact.

Junichi Tazawa came on and Holliday pulled a grounder past Middlebrooks at third.

The ball kicked into the leftfield corner and Holliday went all the way to third on the throw to the plate.

Tazawa then got a couple of strikeouts and prevented further damage.

It was Middlebrooks’ first inning in the field. He entered as a pinch-hitter in the top of the seventh and took over at third base in the bottom half.

That shifted Bogaerts to shortstop – and neither one was able to make the difficult defensive play Boston needed in that inning.

Cardinals starter Joe Kelly, one of the few major league pitchers to wear glasses on the mound, set down his first nine batters. The Red Sox seemed to see him better the next time around in coming back from a 2-0 deficit.

MARTINSVILLE, Va. – Matt Kenseth will be right behind Jimmie Johnson when the green flag drops at Martinsville Speedway on Sunday.

Johnson, the only man in front of him in the Sprint Cup championship points race, is starting second and Kenseth fourth.

Kenseth would love to be that close at the finish, too.

Johnson has found success at the tricky 0.526-mile track shaped like a paper clip, while Kenseth has been frustrated here throughout his career.

Johnson, whose lead is four points, has eight wins at Martinsville in 23 starts.

Kenseth? No wins in 27 starts, and his best finish – second – came in 2002.

But if there’s hope for the

2003 series champion, it came in the spring when Kenseth passed Johnson for the lead at one point and led for 96 laps, more than the rest of his career here combined.

Jimmie Johnson He wound up 14th while Johnson won, but the early burst gave Kenseth a reason for optimism. “ T h i s Matt Kenseth spring, at least the first half of the race, we were really good and really competitive and (it) really, really helped me be better because we had the car good,” he said. “I don’t know.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS 59, EASTERN MICHIGAN 20

Lynch does it all in Huskies’ victory

By ROSS JACOBSON rjacobson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Jordan Lynch is well-known for his exploits as a thrower, runner and even a punter.

On Saturday against Eastern Michigan, the NIU senior quarterback added receiver to his résumé.

Lynch threw for four touchdowns, ran for a touchdown and caught a touchdown before being pulled midway through the third quarter as the No. 23 Huskies (8-0, 4-0 Mid-American Conference) remained undefeated with a 59-20 win over Eastern Michigan (1-7, 0-4).

Lynch is the first FBS player

to do all three since Ohio’s Boo Jackson in 2010.

“It’s not about the points, it’s not about what it looked like. It’s about how you did at those little things to create that, and that’s what I was interested in seeing,” NIU coach Rod Carey said. “And I saw it, and we challenged ourselves for 60 minutes. Minus a little bit there at the end when they ran that ball downhill on us a little bit, I was really happy with the 60 minutes of football that we played today.”

The win extended the Huskies’ MAC winning streak to 21 games and their Huskie Stadium winning streak to 24 games.

Running back Cameron

Stingily was dealing with a turf toe injury and didn’t dress Saturday, but it didn’t matter as Lynch and the offense were clicking from the first possession.

NIU drove 82 yards in 13 plays and Lynch found Da’Ron Brown on a 5-yard fade pattern to put NIU up 7-0. On its next possession, Tommylee Lewis took a jet sweep 54 yards down the right sideline and then Lynch hit true freshman Joel Bouagnon, who was playing in his first game, on a play-action pass from 10 yards out for the score. Lynch capped the Huskies’ third scoring drive in as many possessions with a 30yard touchdown run.

“They did a good job of go-

nerved our guys a little bit.”

Lynch and Lewis switched roles on the Huskies’ next touchdown as Lynch handed

off to Lewis and then snuck out of the backfield as Lewis threw back across the field to Lynch, who dived into the end zone for a 17-yard touchdown. It was Lynch’s first career catch.

“It’s fun, having somebody else throwing you the ball, acting like you’re a receiver,” Lynch said.

Lynch found Juwan Brescacin on a post route for a 16-yard touchdown and Mathew Sims ended the half with a 28-yard field goal to put NIU up, 38-3.

Lynch added his sixth touchdown of the game early in third quarter on a 28-yard strike to Brown over the middle of the field and ended the day with 339 yards of total offense, including 99 on the ground.

NOTRE DAME 45, AIR FORCE 10

Fiedorowicz hauls in winning touchdown Rees leads Notre Dame Johnsburg grad helps Hawkeyes to fifth win The ASSOCIATED PRESS IOWA CITY, Iowa – Iowa’s C.J. Fiedorowicz isn’t easy to cover near the goal line.

Forget about marking the 6-foot-7 tight end one-on-one.

Fiedorowicz, a Johnsburg graduate, caught an 8-yard touchdown pass from Jake Rudock in overtime to give Iowa a 17-10 win over Northwestern on Saturday. Rudock rolled to his right and lofted a pass to his big tight end in the left corner of the end zone.

“You have to give a lot of credit to the O-line and to Jake for throwing a great ball,” Fiedorowicz said. “I just ran underneath it and did my job.”

The Hawkeyes (5-3, 2-2 Big Ten) nearly blew another game after leading at halftime. Instead, Iowa snapped a two-game losing skid and handed Northwestern (4-4, 0-4) its fourth straight loss.

The Hawkeyes led at halftime in each of their three losses this season. Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said this is a learning experience for his team.

“That’s something we’ve obviously emphasized,” Ferentz said. “Hopefully it’s a great step

Fiedorowicz (right) celebrates with wide receiver Kevonte Martin-Manley after pulling down a touchdown pass in overtime against Northwestern on Saturday at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa. Iowa won, 17-10. for our team, a positive step, and it will certainly be easier to critique and build off this than a loss, that’s for sure.”

Iowa’s stingy defense was excellent again. The Hawkeyes recovered two fumbles and totaled 12 stops in the

backfield.

Iowa recorded a season-high six sacks – including one on the final play of the game when Louis Trinca-Pasat pulled down Northwestern’s Kain Colter to seal the win for the Hawkeyes.

“The coverage must have been excellent,” Ferentz said.

“It looked like he had nowhere to go with the football.”

Rudock completed 19-of-27 passes for 169 yards – none bigger than the third-down pass to Fiedorowicz in overtime. Northwestern was in man-to-man defense. Fiedorowicz shook the coverage on his corner route.

Both teams made mistakes on key opportunities late in the fourth quarter.

Iowa’s Mike Meyer pushed a 42-yard field goal to the left of the uprights with five minutes left.

Northwestern’s ensuing drive ended after four plays when running back Mike Trumpy mishandled an option pitch from Colter with three minutes left.

The Hawkeyes might have had a long field goal shot in the final minute but a Rudock pass was tipped and caught by an offensive lineman, forcing Iowa to go for it with 15 seconds left. Rudock’s attempt was intercepted.

BIG TEN ROUNDUP

Michigan State’s defense stifles Illinois in victory The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHAMPAIGN – Connor Cook threw for three touchdowns and Michigan State’s defense locked down Illinois Saturday on the way to a 42-3 win.

Cook finished 15 of16 for 208 yards, setting a Michigan State (7-1, 4-0 Big Ten) record for passing efficiency just a week after he was grilled for failing to move the ball against Purdue.

Tailback Jeremy Langford had 104 yards on 22 carries and two touchdowns for the Spartans.

The Michigan State defense came into the game ranked first in the nation in total defense at 228 yards a game, and looked even better Saturday, holding Illinois to just 128.

That included 25 yards on the ground.

Illinois had been scoring 35.3 points a game.

Almost half of Illinois’ offense came on the game’s opening drive, a 12-play, 53-yarder that ended with a field goal and a 3-0 lead that pumped a little optimism into a homecoming day crowd.

If all you saw was the final score, you might not believe Michigan State didn’t take over at that moment. But the Spartans let Illinois hang around, taking their time before finally grinding them down.

The backbreaker came slowly, agonizingly, over a little under nine minutes of the second quarter.

What looked like it was about to be an Illinois lead turned into a big 11-point edge

The seventh-ranked Hurricanes (7-0, 3-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) will head to Tallahassee, Fla., next week to face No. 3 Florida State.

Florida State (7-0, 5-0) beat North Carolina State, 49-17.

The Wolfpack (3-4, 0-4) upset the Seminoles in Raleigh, N.C., last season, but this year it was no contest.

The Hurricanes came from behind for the second straight week to stay unbeaten. This time it was Wake Forest (4-4, 2-3) giving the Hurricanes all they could handle.

No. 1 Alabama 45, Tennessee 10: At Tuscaloosa, Ala., T.J. Yeldon scored on three 1-yard runs to help Alabama (8-0, 5-0 Southeastern Conference) continue to roll against Tennessee (4-4, 1-3).

No. 2 Oregon 42, No. 12 UCLA 14: At Eugene, Ore., Oregon (8AP photo

Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase throws the ball during the second quarter Saturday against Michigan State at Memorial Stadium in Champaign. for the Spartans. And, no surprise, their defense triggered it.

Michigan State stopped the Illini twice from its own 1-yard line midway through the quarter, stuffing running back Josh Ferguson and then, on fourth down with the homecoming crowd at its loudest, tight end Jon Davis just short of the goal line.

Illinois’ Big Ten losing streak reached 17 games, with a road trip to Penn State on the schedule next Saturday. The last Illini win the in the conference came more than two years ago, 41-20 over Indiana on Oct. 8, 2011.

Minnesota 34, No. 25 Nebraska 23: At Minneapolis, When Philip Nelson picked Minnesota, he envisioned program-lifting wins like this.

With recovering coach Jerry Kill providing extra moti-

vation, the Gophers pushed around Nebraska all afternoon to beat the Cornhuskers for the first time since 1960.

Nelson rushed for two touchdowns and passed for another, guiding Minnesota to an upset of 25th-ranked Nebraska.

“We just have this confidence we can compete with anyone,” said Nelson, who made all of his seven completions count, for 152 yards. He carried the ball eight times for 55 yards, including a spin across the goal line from the 1 with 48 seconds left to seal the victory.

The Gophers (6-2, 2-2 Big Ten) became bowl-game eligible and stopped a 16-game losing streak to the Huskers during which they were outscored by an average of 40-9.

Taylor Martinez returned from a toe injury on his left foot that kept him out of the last

three games for the Huskers (52, 2-1), but he had only 16 yards rushing on eight attempts and 139 yards on 16-for-30 passing, plus one touchdown and one interception.

No. 4 Ohio State 63, Penn State 14: At Columbus, Ohio, Braxton Miller passed for three touchdowns and ran for two and Carlos Hyde rushed for 147 yards and two more scores to lead No. 4 Ohio State over Penn State .

It was the most points surrendered by Penn State (4-3, 1-2 Big Ten) and its worst beating in 114 years.

Ohio State (8-0, 4-0) stretched its nation’s best winning streak to 20 in a row, two behind the school mark which included the 1968 national championship season. That team was recognized during the opening half as the Buckeyes streaked to a 42-7 lead.

USC. Rees was solid all week in practice and sensational Saturday as he picked apart the secondary of the Falcons (1-7), who dropped their seventh straight game.

The resourceful Rees spread the ball around as he tossed TD strikes to Corey Robinson, the son of former NBA star David Robinson, William Fuller, Ben Koyack, TJ Jones and Chris Brown.

It was the first time in school history the Irish have had five different receivers catch a TD pass.

So efficient was Rees that he was given the fourth quarter off, replaced by backup Andrew Hendrix with the game well in hand.

0, 5-0 Pac-12) wore down UCLA (5-2, 2-2) for a win.

No. 9 Clemson 40, Maryland 27: At College Park, Md., Clemson (7-1, 5-1 ACC) wore down injury-riddled Maryland (5-3, 1-3).

No. 20 South Carolina 27, No. 5 Missouri 24 (2OT): At Columbia, Mo., Connor Shaw came off

the bench in the second half to lead a 17-point rally to help South Carolina (6-2, 4-2 SEC) stun Missouri (7-1, 3-1).

No. 14 Texas A&M 56, Vanderbilt 24: At College Station, Texas, Texas A&M (6-2, 3-2 SEC) beat Vanderbilt (4-4, 1-4).

No. 17 Oklahoma 38, No. 10 Texas Tech 30: At Norman, Okla., Oklahoma quarterback Blake Bell accounted for 293 yards of total offense for the Sooners (7-1, 4-1 Big 12), in handing the 10th-ranked Red Raiders (7-1, 4-1) their first loss of the season.

Duke 13, No. 16 Virginia Tech 10: At Blacksburg, Va., Ross Martin kicked two long field goals for Duke (6-2, 2-2 ACC), and Virginia Tech’s six-game winning steak (6-2, 3-1) ended.

Special teams struggle Next for the Hawks

By MARK LAZERUS Chicago Sun-Times

Hawks at Minnesota, 7 p.m. Monday, CSN, AM-720

CHICAGO – The Blackhawks’ league-worst penalty kill gave up a goal five seconds into the first power play of the night. The hot-and-cold power play came up empty on its first five chances, and six of seven overall. The Hawks took a penalty halfway through a power play. They took a penalty seven seconds into being shorthanded. And even though they killed off that two-man disadvantage, they failed to generate any momentum off it – in fact, they gave up two goals shortly afterward to all but seal their first regulation defeat in eight games.

In short, Saturday night’s 5-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild at the United Center was nothing special.

“It reflected the rest of our

game,” Hawks captain Jonathan Toews said of the poor special teams performance.

“When we had a chance to control the game, to really get the momentum going and get our crowd into it, we didn’t really do it.”

Didn’t do much of anything for much of the game, really. Besides the special-teams struggles, the Hawks – the top defensive team in the league last season – have allowed 11 goals in their last two games.

Hawks coach Joel Quenneville, after saying earlier in the day

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

that Nikolai Khabibulin’s effort in a 6-5 loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday wasn’t good enough, suggested that Corey Crawford didn’t do his part on Saturday.

Quenneville said the Hawks gave up the usual amount of chances, but, “They’ve gone in two games in a row on us.”

On the other side, Niklas Backstrom, who was injured in warmups before Game 1 of the first-round series between these teams last spring and missed all of the Hawks’ fivegame victory, made 33 saves, stopping Patrick Sharp seven times – many of them on golden chances.

But Toews said the entire team effort was unacceptable.

“People are talking about us not scoring as much, but sometimes you don’t need to score that many to win, if you’re playing smart defensively,” he said.

Europe has an energy problem Europe is lurching through an energy crisis. Across Europe, consumer groups, governments and manufacturers are asking how their energy needs can be met affordably and responsibly.

Most economic wounds are selfinflicted, and this is certainly true of Europe. So-called green energy was popular with voters, but has not delivered reliable and competitive energy. Today, it is a massive drain on individual and governmental resources.

New York Times columnist Stanley Reed recently wrote that the signs are everywhere. Britain has been unable to reach a deal for its first nuclear power station since the 1990s. Spain, once a clean-energy enthusiast, is no longer as strong an advocate for wind and solar power.

Prices for permits to emit greenhouse gases represent a fraction of what they were a few years ago, meaning they are no longer doing their intended job of inducing utilities and manufacturers to invest in new technologies and switch to cleaner fuels. European parliamentarians are concerned about further rising energy costs companies already say are putting them at a competitive disadvantage.

The issue is far more acute than in the United States, where the shale gas revolution has done wonders to ease energy angst. “Europeans are getting increasingly concerned about energy,” said Corin Taylor, an analyst at the Institute of Directors, a British business group.

“Manufacturers are looking at U.S. energy prices with envy and, if they can, they are making investments in North America.”

Shale gas is cheaper, abundant and cleaner than any other fossil fuel. Unfortunately, Europe is not yet developing its game-changing shale reserves because many countries rushed ahead with inefficient windmills. These are becoming increasingly unpopular, towering, noisy eyesores.

Unlike the North American energy market where natural gas is cheaper than coal, in Europe it is not. The disparity in prices follows regional market dynamics, which are skewed to low cost domestic shale gas in the U.S. and Canada while Europe’s natural gas is imported and priced accordingly higher. This price differential is expected to last because domestic shale gas development in European member states is proceeding more slowly than in North America.

Expect Europe’s energy problems to continue.

Chuck and Karen Meter’s English bulldog, Lilly, stands inside the enclosed tank before starting a hydrotherapy treatment Oct. 17 at the Woodstock Veterinary Clinic. The 8-year-old dog, which struggles with weight problems and weak joints, goes to hydrotherapy twice a week.

Treadmills go to the dogs Area vets offer canine hydrotherapy for rehab, exercise Where to get it Woodstock Veterinary Clinic 691 Lake Ave., Woodstock 815-338-9981 Underwater treadmill is $35 per session, each lasting about half an hour.

Companion Animal Specialty and Emergency Hospital 1095 Pingree Road, Suite 120, Crystal Lake 815-479-9119 Underwater treadmill is $40 per session or $360 for a package of 10.

By SARAH STRZALKA editorial@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Twice a week, yellow Labrador Alex walks into what looks like a glass box without a top.

It fills with water up to about his chest, and then the floor starts moving.

It’s an underwater treadmill for dogs, and Alex likes it, owner Whitney Rupp said. As do her other three yellow Labs who have used the equipment.

For about seven years, Companion Animal Specialty and Emergency Hospital in Crystal Lake has had the treadmill that Rupp and her dogs use. Veterinarian Karen Turner said

there has been increasing interest in water therapy for dogs, called canine hydrotherapy.

“The underwater treadmill functions as a low-impact workout,” Turner said. “It can increase muscle strength and endurance, and allows for improved range of motion in all the joints.”

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, rehabilitation for pets has emerged over the past decade from a “boutique service” to a mainstream option. Physical therapy can mean pain relief, increased mobility, and an improved quality of life.

Alex the yellow Lab began using an underwater treadmill after tearing his rotator cuffs doing agility, Rupp

said. In 2010, Rupp had been living in Baltimore, and the veterinarian there recommended the post-surgery treatment.

“The weightlessness of the water takes the pressure off the joints, and that’s just what he needed for his shoulders,” Rupp said.

When Rupp moved to Bull Valley, she sought out a practice that had a treadmill and now takes Alex to Companion Animal Specialty and Emergency Hospital.

But the hydrotherapy isn’t just for rehab; it can help with overweight dogs or to just help keep dogs healthy and in shape.

For jobless over 50, a challenging search for work

By MATT SEDENSKY The Associated Press ROCKFORD – When Charlie Worboys lost his job, he feared searching for a new one at his age might be tough. Six years later, at 65, he’s still looking.

Luanne Lynch, 57, was laid off three times in the past decade and previous layoffs brought jobs with a lower salary; this time she can’t even get that.

They’re not alone. A new Associated Press-NORC Center for Public

Affairs Research poll finds many people over 50 reporting great difficulty finding work and feeling that their age is a factor.

After Worboys was laid off and his hunt for another teaching job was fruitless, he sought counseling positions. When those leads dried up, he applied for jobs in juvenile detention centers, in sales and elsewhere. He finally settled for parttime work, all the while still scouring online listings and sending out applications each week.

“They’re looking for the younger

person,” he said. “They look at the number 65 and they don’t bother to look behind it.”

The AP-NORC Center poll found 55 percent of those 50 and older who have sought a job in the past five years characterized their search as difficult, and 43 percent thought employers were concerned about their age. Further, most in the poll reported finding few available jobs (69 percent), few that paid well (63 percent) or that offered adequate benefits (53 percent). About a third were told they were overqualified.

Still, some companies are welcoming older workers, and 43 percent of job seekers surveyed found a high demand for their skills and 31 percent said there was a high demand for their experience. Once on the job, older workers were far more likely to report benefits related to their age – 60 percent said colleagues had come to them for advice more often and 42 percent said they felt as if they were receiving more respect in the company.

Turning rentals to Section 8 comes with good, bad Dear Dave, I have some rental properties, and the government would like to turn a couple into low-income housing. Is this a good idea, or should I find my own tenant?

– Marvin

Dear Marvin, In these types of situations you’re generally talking about Section 8 housing. This means governmentsubsidized rent, and the person living there is in a lower income bracket.

I put of few of my properties on Section 8 years ago, when I first started out in the real estate business. I can tell you from personal experience, it’s a good news-bad news scenario.

If you own a property in a lowerincome neighborhood, and you put it into the Section 8 subsidized housing program, the good news is that you’ll always get paid. This is because the federal government

sends you your money. Unfortunately, the good news pretty well ends right there.

The bad news is that some Section 8 folks have a real entitlement mentality, and can be unreasonable to deal with on some issues. It’s also really hard to get them out of the property once they’ve taken up residence. Of course, not all people who participate in this program are like this.

But you’ll run across your share of rough folks, irrespective of their race or the area of the country.

More than anything, it’s the impact of the economic situations surrounding their lives.

Another piece of bad news is that the government puts lots of stringent conditions on the property. That wasn’t so difficult for me, because I always kept my places in really good shape. But if you go this route, I promise you’ll come across all kinds of guidelines and regulations, some of which are silly and

agreement with him. We’re worried about the agreement, how he’ll react and our family’s reaction if we fire him. Do you have any advice?

DAVE SAYS Dave Ramsey

– Andrea

not very realistic.

I got tired of the Section 8 experience pretty quickly, and I don’t own any property in that program today.

If it were me, I’d just go find my own tenants. I know some things have probably changed since my time in the program. But if it’s like most things that are government managed, the change hasn’t been for the better!

– Dave

Dear Dave, My husband and I hired my brother as our real estate agent.

He’s just starting out in the business and working two jobs, but it’s been five or six months and he hasn’t helped us find a house. On top of this, we signed an exclusive buyer’s

Dear Andrea, I think you’ve given him a fair chance. Under the circumstances, he should be willing to release you from the exclusive buyer’s contract.

I know he’s your brother, and that makes things kind of emotional.

You might get some flak from the rest of your family, too.

But guess what? It’s none of their business.

What are you supposed to do, stay in a bad deal just because you’re related? I don’t think so!

No, you and your husband need to sit down with your brother and let him know in a gentle way that things aren’t working. Ask to be released from the exclusive buyer’s agreement, and wish him the best with his new career. Make sure to

8FACES & PLACES

let him know you lov e and respect him, but that the situation with his multiple jobs, and the fact that you’ve made no progress in all this time, means you need to go in another direction.

Hopefully, he’ll understand.

Maybe your family will be reasonable, too. But those are things you can’t really control.

Whether they want to behave like mature adults, or little kids pitching a fit, is up to them!

Unemployment rate vexing for all age groups • WORK Continued from page D1 People of all ages have been frustrated by the job market and the unemployment rate for those 55 and older was 5.3 percent in September, lower than the 7.2 percent rate among all ages. By comparison, unemployment among those 20-24 was 12.9 percent, and among those 25-54, 6.2 percent.

But long-term unemployment has been rampant among the oldest job seekers. Unemployed people aged 45 to 54 were out of work 45 weeks on average, those 55 to 64 were jobless for 57 weeks and those 65 and older average 51 weeks.

Younger workers were unemployed for shorter periods of time.

Sixty-three percent of those who searched for a job cited financial need and 19 percent said it was because they were laid off. Far smaller numbers searched because they wanted to change careers, find a better salary or benefits, escape unhappiness at a prior job or simply get out of the house.

Lynch, of San Gabriel, Calif., hated taking a step down after the earlier layoffs, but this time only one interview has come from 70-some applications.

“It’s starting at the bottom,” she said.

“And frankly, I’m getting too old to be starting at the bottom.”

Bob Gershberg, a corporate recruiter in St. Petersburg, Fla., said unemployed people, regardless of age, have had trouble getting rehired. But he said older

“It’s starting from the bottom.

And frankly, I’m getting too old to be starting at the bottom.”

Luanne Lynch 57-year-old job seeker

workers have faced an added layer of skepticism from employers.

“They’ll say, ‘Give me the young guy. Give me the up-and-comer. Someone with fire in the belly,” he said. “But there’s always been a bias against the unemployed. They say, ‘If she was so good, why’d she get cut?’”

Sharon Hulce, who runs a recruitment firm in Appleton, Wis., said she’s found some employers are concerned that applicants in their late 50s or 60s may not stick around for the long haul.

And Kerry Hannon, who authored “Great Jobs for Everyone 50-plus,” said managers may be leery of a lengthy resume from someone they can’t afford, salary-wise.

“They’ll look at your background and just figure you’ll be insulted,” she said.

About four in 10 who have been on the job market said they felt they lacked the right skills or felt too old for the available jobs. Many reported trying to improve their skillset (20 percent) or present themselves with a fresher resume or interview approach (15 percent) to make themselves more marketable.

Bret Lane, 53, of San Diego, was out

of work for 22 months until finding a job over the summer through Platform to Employment, a training program. He lost count of how many jobs he had applied for — it was easily in the hundreds.

Once, after seeing applications would be taken for a janitorial job paying $14 hourly, he got up at 3 a.m. to get an early start. There were already 400 others in line.

“I wasn’t getting any interviews. I wasn’t getting in front of any decision makers,” he said. “People in our age group are very discriminated against.”

One in five respondents in the APNORC Center poll said they personally experienced prejudice or discrimination in the job market or at work because of their age. That doubles to 40 percent among those who have sought a job in the last five years.

Faye Smith, 69, of Dallas, Ga., said she needed to find work after losing much of her savings in the downturn but felt the hesitance of employers when they saw the dates on her resume.

“You could tell when they found out the age,” she said. “There’s a change in the face and the demeanor of the person.”

The AP-NORC Center survey was conducted Aug. 8 through Sept. 10 by NORC at the University of Chicago, with funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

It involved landline and cellphone interviews in English and Spanish with 1,024 people aged 50 and older nationwide. Results from the full survey have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.

In addition to 9-year-old Alex, Rupp has three other yellow Labs – Abby, Remi and Warden – who she brings in to use the treadmill during the winter. When they come home, they’re tired from the workout, which is especially nice to accomplish without having to go outside when the temperatures drop, Rupp said.

“I’m pretty toward the extreme when it comes to keeping my dogs in shape because I do competitive sports with them,” Rupp said. “But … it means keeping them healthy.

It means a longer life, and the risk of injury is less.”

The underwater treadmill is a steep investment for a veterinary practice, let alone an individual pet owner: The price range for the equipment is between about $30,000 to $60,000.

Tudor Treadmills is a UK-based company with a location in Texas that sells the equipment. Veterinarians, universities, dog day cares and some individuals are customers, said Joanne Lisowski, who work in inside sales.

“I believe that people are treating their animals as well as they treat themselves,” Lisowski said. “Some people I know will send their animals to the doctor before they go.

They’re demanding – they’re not asking, they’re demanding – the best and they really like the holistic approach.”

Individual sessions at veterinary practices run in the $35 to $40 range, which Rupp said is worthwhile.

“If you think about the cost of knee surgery on a dog, in my opinion, it’s a small price to pay to know your dog is in the best shape possible and the odds of them getting hurt are less,” she said.

Woodstock Veterinary Clinic on Lake Avenue has had an underwater treadmill since January, veterinarian Patti Klein Manke said. Ten to 20 clients have used it since then, and she’s trying to get the word out that the service is available.

The practice charges $35 for per session, each of which is about half an hour, and plan to offer a punch card as a special deal.

“With human medicine, if you have an injury, you go to rehab and it’s just automatic,” Klein Manke said. “Now, pet medicine has evolved so much that just about anything a person can have, a pet can have. There are knee replacements in dogs, and there have been hip replacements for a long time.”

Turner said many dogs are nervous their first time using the equipment and seem bit anxious when the treadmill starts, but figure it out in a few minutes and do fine from there on out.

“Some dogs absolutely love the treadmill and they can’t get in the room fast enough,” she said.

This picture, taken in about 1914, shows a gathering of automobile touring enthusiasts on the lawn of the McHenry House Automobile Headquarters. The building, on the corner of Riverside Drive and Pearl Street, had a long history as a hotel. When Jacob C. Bickler took it over in about 1910, he remodeled the whole building. When finished, he had 20 guest rooms, each with hot and cold running water. The dining rooms could accommodate 150 people. He also owned a truck garden and a dairy. The kitchen was managed by Mrs. Bickler. The north and west sides of the building were landscaped, as shown in the photo, to provide a parklike setting. The location was a favorite gathering spot for travelers venturing out on automobile tours of northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. When the auto salesman occupied the back of the building, his sign “Automobile Headquarters” became the name by which the whole establishment was known. To learn more about the early automobile industry in McHenry County, check out the new exhibit in The James, the travelling museum from the McHenry County Historical Society.

Lakeside town fights ‘festival fatigue’

By JOHN FLESHER The Associated Press TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. – Lou Colombo insists he’s no Grinch and enjoys festivals.

But so many were held along this Lake Michigan town’s grassy waterfront over the summer that he applied to City Hall to throw a bash of his own, called “The Quiet Festival.” The event lineup would consist of absolutely nothing.

Officials turned him down, but got the message – from Colombo and others. The City Commission is reconsidering its policy on using parks for festivals.

“We’re not trying to shut down tourism,” Mayor Mi-

chael Estes said. “But we’re trying to ask people who put on these events to be more courteous to our neighborhoods.”

The idea of “festival fatigue” anywhere in this struggling state drips with irony.

Well before the nationwide economic downturn, Michigan was a mess. Chained to the auto industry’s free-fall, it lost population as unemployment soared. Even Traverse City, which had no auto plants but depended on vacationers from hard-hit Detroit 250 miles to the southeast, felt the ripple effects.

Yet with conditions improving and tourism booming again, some locals – particu-

larly retirees who chose the area for its beauty and smalltown atmosphere – don’t want too much of a good thing.

“I’m kind of pleased when fall comes and things slow down a bit,” said Colombo, 75.

Others say keeping things quiet is the wrong priority in a place where college graduates and young families struggle to find well-paying jobs.

“The bottom line is that these festivals bring money into Traverse City, and we’re hardly in a position where we’re so rich that we can leave it on the table,” said Andrew McFarlane, founder of a wine and art festival and editor of an online guide to the area’s culinary culture.

Network Safely Online

By John Rossheim Monster Senior Contributing Writer

ic subject lines, like “Request for your strongest connections may be to ex-colleagues at a small startup that dot-bombed. Form a group with them, or if no one from your alma mater has started up a local alumni group (or the group lies fallow), get it going yourself, whether with a Web site, newsletter, blog or weekly chat. But commit before you launch; it takes time and effort to put karma on your side.

In case you haven’t noticed, the old-boy network for finding jobs isn’t old anymore, isn’t all boys and now prefers high-end coffee shops to exclusive clubs.

When not sipping lattes, many networkers in the professional world now meet around electronic water coolers, sharing career buzz via Internet media ranging from email and message boards to Web sites, chat and blogs.

This cyberspace of job hunting abounds with useful information and helpful people; it’s also full of misinformation, dead ends and the occasional economic or social predator who’s looking to take advantage of people. Follow these tips for getting the most from online networking while protecting yourself.

“Network with your fellow participants,” says William Arruda, a career coach in New York City.

“Seminars are a great way to network with people anywhere in the world who are interested in your topic.”

Cast a Wide Net: To locate valuable lost acquaintances who don’t show up elsewhere, try Google, Superpages’ national people pages and other search engines.

Look for an online community focused on a specific affinity, whether it’s your industry, occupation, city, alma mater or former employer. “I looked for every possible membership group I had any affiliation with,” says Tim Johnston, author of Diary of a Job Search.

Don’t Give Yourself Away: Keep personal data, especially identifying information, to yourself until you have reason to trust your correspondent. “One of the freaky things about online relationships is that you can overexpose yourself,” says Darling. On the Web, one piece of information -- name or address or phone number -- lets your genie out of the bottle. Also be careful about disseminating documents, like your resume, where your identity is embedded.

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - Do what works best for you in the months ahead. Look over the highs and lows you have experienced recently and choose a path that suits your current situation. Being a little different will draw interest and spark ideas that could turn a little venture into something exciting.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Keep your emotions in check, or you may ruin an opportunity to enrich your life. Trust in your intuition to lead you down a path toward peace and happiness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Offer something if you want something in

return. Your charm and carefree attitude will attract an audience willing to follow your lead and support your venture.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be tempted to get involved in an impractical project. Don’t be fooled by someone’s improbable claims. Do your homework and make a decision based on facts, not hearsay.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don’t follow someone else. You have to make your choice based on your own judgment. Going it alone may be daunting, but it could bring the highest rewards.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You will

instinctively know what will and won’t work.

Journey in a direction that caters to your skills and expertise, and it will lead to money and success.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You will learn something valuable from experiences with people who grab your attention and capture your heart. A passionate approach will ensure that your talents are recognized.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Keep your emotions in check when reacting to others. Keep busy with challenging physical activities to avoid emotionally draining conversation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Do your best to right a wrong or to fix a problem that has sprung from a misunderstanding. Share your thoughts and suggestions with the people who count. Offer love and affection, not criticism.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Do your own thing and follow your dream. You will meet new friends if you participate in an event that deals with something you know little about. Take a chance to enrich your life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Listen to others, but be careful how you respond. Now is not the time to start a war. Put off seeking

a solution until you have time to go over the facts and figures.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Put more into your important friendships. The bonds you have with others will make a difference in the quality of your life. Caring, sharing and teamwork will bring you the greatest joy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Use your imagination to find a viable solution to your financial problems. A service or skill you have can be turned into a second income with a little ingenuity.
