Only two of county’s 19 districts meet federal standards

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com More McHenry County schools are struggling to meet federal education standards, according to newly released data.

Only two of the county’s 19 school districts made Adequate Yearly Progress under the guidelines set by the federal No Child Left Behind Act. Statewide, about 7 percent

of the state’s 863 school districts made the grade, compared to roughly 18 percent last year.

The federal law lays out strict expectations on school and district improvement, each year ratcheting up the percentage of students who need to meet or exceed state standards on standardized tests.

That percent applies not just to the school as a whole but to nine subgroups with-

in the school, which include those based on race, whether the students have a disability and whether the students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This year, 92.5 percent of students – as a whole and within each subgroup – must meet or exceed the reading and math standards set by the state, up from 85 percent of students last year.

If the school fails to meet that percentage – or exhibit

sufficient growth in reducing the number of students who are not meeting standards – the district as a whole is classified as failing.

“I honestly think it’s made school districts look at all students more closely instead of lumping all students together,” said Jean Bevevino, District 47’s assistant superintendent of curriculum. “It was good in that instance, but

WOODSTOCK – Standing before a McHenry County judge, speaking in a hushed voice, Raymond E. Davis said he’d been killed and brought back to life.

Davis previously was found not guilty by reason of insanity in the stabbing death of his mother, 58-year-old Carol Schritz. Wednesday’s fitness hearing determined that he will receive in-patient mental health treatment.

Doctors who evaluated Davis recommended he receive in-patient mental health treatment, said his attorney, Public Defender Kim Messer.

The most time he can be committed is 60 years, or the maximum time he would serve in prison if convicted of murder.

GENERAL INFORMATION: 815-459-4040

Things that go bump in plain, white envelopes It’s Halloween, so perhaps I’m moved by unseen spirits, but I’m compelled to address a ghost, poltergeist or a supernatural pest who’s tried to haunt me for several years.

Nearly once a week, this apparition writes an anonymous letter complaining about things that usually have to do with the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office. They all have various haunting themes – mostly stories told many times or bits of information that aren’t useful.

But the spectral author doesn’t just haunt me. Although the letters always address me, the mysterious missives are sent to my bosses, fellow members on the editorial board and, occasionally, our corporate office.

Usually, the underlying theme is that we’re not hard enough on the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office because I hang out with either Sheriff Keith Nygren, Undersheriff Andrew Zinke, unnamed sheriff’s office members or some other goblins.

Boo! Except no one cares. All the chain rattling and moaning in the night go for naught. It’s a com-

VIEWS Kevin Lyons plete waste of paper and plain white envelopes. You just feel sad that the phantom’s efforts are all in vain.

It’s all easy to dismiss because it’s false. And who would know it’s false better than me? Perhaps that’s why the letters are addressed to my superiors and dismissed by them.

There have been exactly zero occasions where the sheriff or the undersheriff and I have gathered for a meal or drinks except at a public event with dozens of others. No one has been to anyone’s home. I once met Zinke for coffee to discuss business. When invited by sources, I often make time.

As would anyone who attends events or leaves his home, I occasionally see them in public. That’s as social as we’ve gotten. Friendly, cordial as most adults are.

Of course, I’ve spoken with them many, many times. It’s my job to

speak with them. I covered the sheriff’s office for years since around the time Nygren began. There have been routine conversations, pleasant conversations and angry discussions with each.

Having spent many years in the courthouse, there are people whom I consider friends and say hello to when I bump into them who work at the sheriff’s office – in probation, in the public defender’s office, at other police departments or private law firms. At least one friend is a judge.

There also are people whom I consider friends working at hospitals, schools, construction companies and other random places. We sometimes conspire in such unethical undertakings as coaching a youth sports team or helping a charity. Sometimes we plot missions of political intrigue, but such discussions are often derailed by a distracted 6-year-old on the offensive line or a shortstop’s bloody nose.

It’s true that journalists walk among the rest of us – prey like anyone else to the insurmountable persuasion of a guy who drives a police

cruiser or the impenetrable wisdom of a friend who writes up housing contracts or pleads out domestic battery cases – an intellectual tightrope few dare to tread.

I’m predisposed to dislike people upon introduction, but, unfortunately, many have proven me wrong by being pretty decent human beings despite my nature. Can’t win ‘em all.

Until they make journalism robots, this phenomenon is unavoidable.

Meanwhile, what journalists try to do is be fair to everyone, whether an acquaintance or not. What we try to do is look at facts instead of conjecture. It’s not always simple, but it isn’t rocket science either.

But what’s easy for journalists to do is to ignore the petty gripes of the anonymous specter letter writer who’s best scare tactics are ad hominem attacks.

Feds post food allergy guidelines for schools

By MIKE STOBBE The Associated Press ATLANTA – The federal government is issuing its first guidelines to schools on how to protect children with food allergies.

The voluntary guidelines call on schools to take such steps as restricting nuts, shellfish or other foods that can cause allergic reactions, and make sure emergency allergy medicine – like EpiPens – are available.

About 15 states – and numerous individual schools or school districts – already have

policies of their own. “The need is here” for a more comprehensive, standardized way for schools to deal with this issue, said Dr. Wayne Giles, who oversaw development of the advice for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Food allergies are a growing concern. A recent CDC survey estimated that about 1 in 20 U.S. children have food allergies – a 50 percent increase from the late 1990s.

Experts aren’t sure why cases are rising.

Topinka: Funds needed for state worker back pay Request includes $112 million to pay back wages plus interest to unionized employees The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – A supplemental appropriation is needed to come up with the money to fund back pay for state workers, Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka said.

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn has made a supplemental funding request for $221 million for a variety of unexpected or extra expenditures. It

includes $112 million to pay back wages plus interest to thousands of unionized state workers. They were denied raises due under a previous labor agreement. A judge has ruled the workers are due the money.

The State Journal-Register reports that during a news conference Tuesday in Springfield, Topinka said it’s necessary to approve the

extra money for back pay.

Topinka said she doesn’t have bags of money “sitting around the office” and she doesn’t know where else the money will come from.

Under the last union contract negotiated by Quinn’s predecessor, the Democrat reneged on raises owed to more than 30,000 American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees mem-

bers in 2011 and 2012 totaling 5.25 percent. He contended he could not pay the increases because the Legislature had not sent him enough money.

The union sued, and in December, a judge ruled Quinn had to pay.

During the whole time, the union and the Quinn administration were negotiating on a new contract for the one that expired in June 2012. Talks

went on longer than at any time in the 40-year history of Illinois collective bargaining – about 15 months. But as part of the deal reached last spring, Quinn agreed to pay the overdue money, to ask Attorney General Lisa Madigan to drop an appeal of his lawsuit, and to seek money for the raise from the General Assembly in a supplemental appropriation.

Some back pay has been turned over, either during the fiscal years it was due as money became available in certain government agencies, or taken from an escrow account the judge ordered be set aside from fund left over at the end of the 2011 budget year.

But the Legislature has resisted taking any further action.

Security issues arise for health website Police reports detail The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama claimed “full responsibility” Wednesday for fixing his administration’s much-maligned health insurance website as a new concern surfaced: a government memo pointing to security worries, laid out just days before the launch.

On Capitol Hill, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius apologized to frustrated people trying to sign up, declaring that she is accountable for the failures but also defending the historic health care overhaul. The website sign-up problems will be fixed by Nov. 30, she said, and the gaining of health insurance will make a positive difference in the lives of millions of Americans.

Obama underscored the administration’s unhappiness with problems: “There’s no excuse for it,” he said during a Boston speech to promote his signature domestic policy achievement. “And I take full responsibility for making sure it gets fixed ASAP.”

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is sworn in Wednesday on Capitol Hill by House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., prior to testifying before the committee’s hearing on the difficulties plaguing the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. The website HealthCare. gov was still experiencing outages as Sebelius faced a new range of questions at the House Energy and Commerce Committee about a security memo from her department.

It revealed that the troubled website was granted a temporary security certificate on Sept. 27, just four days before it went live on Oct. 1.

The memo, obtained by The Associated Press, said incomplete testing created uncertainties that posed a potentially high security risk for the website. It called for a sixmonth “mitigation” program, including ongoing monitoring and testing.

Security issues raise major new concerns on top of the long list of technical problems

Naperville child slayings

the administration is grappling with.

“You accepted a risk on behalf of every user ... that put their personal financial information at risk,” Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., told Sebelius, citing the memo. “Amazon would never do this. ProFlowers would never do this. Kayak would never do this. This is completely an unacceptable level of security.”

Sebelius countered that the system is secure, even though the site’s certificate, known in government parlance as an “authority to operate,” is of a temporary nature. A permanent certificate will be issued only when all security issues are addressed, she stressed.

Spokeswoman Joanne Peters added separately: “When consumers fill out their online ... applications, they can trust that the information they’re providing is protected by stringent security standards and that the technology underlying the application process has been tested and is secure. Security testing happens on an ongoing basis using industry best practices.”

The ASSOCIATED PRESS NAPERVILLE – A Naperville woman accused of repeatedly stabbing her 7-year-old son and a 5-year-old girl she was babysitting told police hours later that she felt she was killing the devil and was saving the children from a “poisoned” world.

Those statements are contained in 182 pages of police reports on the slayings, which took place on Oct. 30 of last year at the Naperville townhome where the younger child lived. The Naperville Sun obtained the documents through a Freedom of Information Act request.

Elzbieta Plackowska, 41, has pleaded not guilty and remains jailed pending the start of her trial. Her attorneys have asked for time to gather medical and mental health reports about her. Public defender Michael Mara declined to comment Wednesday. In previous remarks, he has urged the public not to rush to judgment.

Police found the children’s bodies in a blood-spattered master bedroom where prosecutors say the woman forced them to kneel and pray before stabbing them dozens of times as they begged for their lives.

Detectives conducting initial interviews with Plackowska reported her saying that she “saw the devil” that day and “went crazy.”

The police documents record conflicting explanations from Plackowska, including that the children were killed by a black-clad intruder while she was outside having a cigarette. She also said she killed them herself in part to inflict pain on her truck driver husband, whom she was upset with because of his long periods away for work, according to the police records.

When officers first confronted her on the night of the killings, they found Plackowska curled up in a fetal position on a friend’s floor with her arms covered in what appeared to be dried blood.

U.S. trade deals in danger over EU spying backlash

The Associated Press BRUSSELS – The backlash in Europe over U.S. spying is threatening an agreement that generates tens of billions of dollars in trans-Atlantic business every year – and negotiations on another pact worth many times more.

A growing number of European officials are calling for the suspension of the “Safe Harbor” agreement that lets U.S. companies process commercial and personal data – sales, emails, photos – from customers in Europe. This little-known but vital deal allows more than 4,200 American companies to do business in Europe, including Internet giants like Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon.

Revelations of the extent of U.S. spying on its European allies is also threatening to undermine one of President Barack Obama’s top trans-Atlantic goals: a sweeping freetrade agreement that would

Top EU officials say the trust needed for the negotiations has been shattered.

“For ambitious and complex negotiations to succeed, there needs to be trust among the negotiating partners,” EU Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding said Wednesday in

a speech at Yale University.

Europeans are expected to demand that the U.S. significantly strengthen its privacy laws to give consumers much more control over how companies use their personal data – and extend those rights to European citizens, maybe even giving them the right to sue American companies in U.S. courts.

Federal agencies proving to be Internet-adept, inept at same time

By SETH BORENSTEIN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – When it comes to computers, the Obama administration appears simultaneously to be a bungling amateur and a stealthy wizard. The same government that reportedly intercepted the communications of America’s leading consumer technology firms, Google and Yahoo, without leaving a trace is scorned because it can’t build a working federal website for health insurance.

In a single day in the nation’s capital, extremes of the impressive successes and stun-

ning failures of the Internet age were on full display.

Computer professionals said the government can be both adept and inept at the same time because the tasks are so different and for reasons involving who is doing it, for how much money, how long it takes and how publicly it is done.

Under a classified project called MUSCULAR, the National Security Agency has secretly broken into the main communications links that connect Google and Yahoo data centers around the world, The Washington Post reported Wednesday, citing documents obtained

from former NSA systems analyst Edward Snowden.

In the past 30 days, the NSA swept up and processed more than 180 million new records, including metadata indicating who sent and received emails and when it happened, the Post reported.

Across town, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius was apologizing to Congress over the bungled healthcare.gov website.

New documents obtained by The Associated Press showed that officials had worried that a lack of website testing posed a potentially high security risk.

Iraq seeking new U.S. aid after pushing out troops threat more seriously. We need support and we need help.”

He added: “We have said to the Americans we’d be more than happy to discuss all the options short of boots on the ground.”

“Boots on the ground” means military forces. The U.S. withdrew all but a few hundred of its troops from Iraq in December 2011 after Baghdad refused to renew a security agreement to extend legal immunity for Americans forces that would have let more stay.

At the time, the withdrawal was hailed as a victory for the Obama administration, which campaigned on ending the Iraq war and had little appetite for pushing Baghdad into a new security agreement. But within months, violence began creeping up in the capital and across the country as Sunni Muslim insurgents lashed out at Shiites, angered by a widespread belief that Sunnis have been sidelined by the Shiite-led

government, and with no U.S. troops to keep them in check.

More than 5,000 Iraqis have been killed in attacks since April, and suicide bombers launched 38 strikes in the last month alone.

Al-Maliki is expected to ask Obama for new assistance to bolster its military and fight al-Qaida. Faily said that could include everything from speeding up the delivery of U.S. aircraft, missiles, interceptors and other weapons, to improving national intelligence systems. And when asked, he did not rule out the possibility of asking the U.S. to send military special forces or additional CIA advisers to Iraq to help train and assist counterterror troops.

If the U.S. does not commit to providing the weapons or other aid quickly, “we will go elsewhere,” Faily said. That means Iraq will step up diplomacy with nations like China or Russia that would be more than happy to increase their influence in Baghdad at U.S. expense.

birth as teens.

LONDON – Recent research has suggested that teen pregnancies in the developing world are declining, but more than 7 million girls under the age of 18 are still giving birth each year and suffering drastic consequences, a U.N. report said Wednesday.

The U.N. Population Fund expressed particular alarm about the dangers facing girls 14 or younger, who account for 2 million of the 7.3 million births to women under 18 in developing countries. This group faces the gravest long-term social and health consequences from giving

Congo army takes M23 rebel stronghold

The recapture of Bunagana comes just days after the U.N. special representative said: “We are witnessing the military end of the M23.”

In an address to the nation late Wednesday, Congolese President Joseph Kabila warned the remaining members of the M23 to turn themselves in, saying: “I reiterate my call to the members of this armed group who have just been flushed out of our territory ... to demobilize themselves voluntarily,” Kabila said. “Failure to do so will leave us with no option but to force them to do by force.”

By LARA JAKES The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Nearly two years after pushing out the U.S. military, Iraq is asking for more American weapons, training and manpower to help fight a bloody resurgence of al-Qaida that has unleashed a level of violence comparable to the darkest days of the nation’s civil war.

The request will be discussed during a White House meeting Friday between Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and President Barack Obama in what Baghdad hopes will be a fresh start in a complicated relationship that has been marked by victories and frustrations for each side.

“We know we have major challenges of our own capabilities being up to the standard. They currently are not,” Lukman Faily, the Iraqi ambassador to the U.S., said in an interview with The Associated Press. “We need to gear up, to deal with that

8WORLD BRIEFS

BUNAGANA, Congo – The Congolese army retook one of the last remaining strongholds of the M23 rebels Wednesday, with fighters running for the hills as the military sought to extinguish the 18-month-old insurrection, officials said. As the army retook the town of Bunagana, leaving the M23 with a small sliver of territory, the civilian leader of the rebel movement fled Congo, crossing the border into Uganda and prompting calls for his extradition.

8WORLD BRIEF Pakistan: 3 percent of drone deaths civilians ISLAMABAD – The Pakistani government said Wednesday that 3 percent of 2,227 people killed in U.S. drone strikes since 2008 were civilians, a surprisingly low figure that sparked criticism from groups that have investigated death tolls from the attacks.

The number, which was provided by the Ministry of Defense to the Senate, is much lower than past government calculations and estimates by independent organizations that have gone as high as 300. The ministry said 317 drone strikes have killed 2,160 Islamic militants and 67 civilians since 2008.

NEWS Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif pressed President Barack Obama to end the attacks in a visit to the White House last week, but the U.S. considers the attacks vital to its battle against al-Qaida and the Taliban and gave no indication it was willing to abandon them.

Saturday’s vote will be the second attempt to hire an executive director • LEADERSHIP Continued from page A1 put one of those critics at the head of the McHenry County Board committee in charge of Mental Health Board appointments and gave her a majority to pursue new blood.

Saturday’s vote will be the second attempt to hire a permanent executive director.

The board’s first attempt collapsed in April when one of the two finalists backed out, forcing it to start over.

A successful vote Saturday would result in The Meyers Group, the Maryland-based behavioral health search firm hired to find a new director, drawing up the employer-employee contract, with a formal announcement to come later in the month.

The board put out a bid request for legal services on Sept. 3, about two weeks before longtime attorney Frank Gosser resigned at the meet-

ing in which the board was scheduled to vote to terminate his services, which board members concluded were too expensive.

Scrutiny of the board’s legal bills began in earnest under the new board. The board under its previous members blew its 2012 legal budget by almost 600 percent – it budgeted $50,000, but spent $290,000.

About $180,000 of that went to Gosser, whose hourly rate was increased late last year by the previous board to $250.

The board successfully fought a federal lawsuit filed

by The Advantage Group, a now-defunct social service agency that the board stopped funding after an audit revealed numerous fiscal irregularities. While the board’s insurance company provided the legal counsel, the board paid Gosser to provide oversight.

Reform efforts began in April after board member Paula Yensen questioned 100

items totaling $83,556 billed

by Gosser between December 2010 and February 2013 for items she considered unnecessary, such as reviewing board packets and Freedom of Information Act requests. Yensen, one of the McHenry County Board’s two Democratic members, holds the board’s voting seat on the nine-member Mental Health Board.

Mental Health Board members in July passed a temporary rule forbidding legal counsel for billing for any service not requested in writing by both the board president and interim executive director, and instructed staff to start drawing up a request for proposals so it can bid competitively for legal services.

The Mental Health Board budgeted $70,000 for legal services for fiscal 2013, which ends Nov. 30. As of Sept. 30, it had spent $119,492 on legal services, or 170 percent over budget, according to the board’s most recent spending report.

Davis received credit for time served • CARE Continued from page A1 That means Davis would be released in 2071 or sooner. He received credit for the nearly two years he’s been held awaiting trial.

Assistant State’s Attorney Sharyl Eisenstein explained that if doctors find that Davis is well enough to be released prior to that date, a court hearing would be required.

Under law, all students would meet or exceed standards by 2013-14 • TEST Continued from page A1 to label some schools as failing when they truly aren’t failing schools ... It’s hard to label them failing when they’re showing progress.”

Passed in 2001 and signed into law by former President George W. Bush, the goal was that 100 percent of students would meet or exceed standards by the 2013-14 school year.

Since then, 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Bureau of Indian Education have submitted requests for extensions. Of those, the requests of three states, including Illinois, and the Bureau of Indian Education, are still pending.

The expectation was unrealistic, Fox River Grove School District 3 Superintendent Tim Mahaffy said.

The increase to the 92.5 percent benchmark also came with a decision by the Illinois State Board of Education to toughen up the grading scale for grade schools ahead of the implementation of the new Common Core curriculum standards.

Mahaffy points to those changes as why District 3 did not meet AYP this past year.

District 3, Prairie Grove District 46 and Riley District 18 were the only districts to make AYP last year, but none made it this year.

None of the county’s districts approach the 92.5 percent required under the law, but most are above the state average for students meeting or exceeding standards.

Only one school district – Harvard District 50 – was under the state average for reading, and three – Harvard District 50, McHenry High School District 156 and Wood-

stock District 200 – were under the state average for math.

The status is a drop for District 156, which had been experiencing improvement over the past couple of years, Superintendent Mike Roberts said.

“There is frustration, but we’re not going to let that frustration cripple us,” he said. “We’re going to work that much harder to find the reasons why [the drop occurred].”

Teachers and administration are having weekly meetings as they try to identify why the drop happened, Roberts said.

The district is trying to assess whether it was a blip based off one class or if their programs aren’t working.

Either way, Roberts said, the average isn’t acceptable and the district is going to continue to try to address its gaps.

The law has forced all districts to evaluate how all of their students are doing and develop plans to improve, Marengo Community High School District 154 Superintendent Dan Bertrand said.

Bertrand’s district and Alden-Hebron School District 19 were the only two districts in McHenry County to make adequate yearly progress this year, something he thinks is the result of a lengthy school improvement process.

Marengo Community High School added additional levels of algebra to make sure students, especially those who weren’t ready to move on to calculus, were still getting more math.

“I don’t think we’ve ever done a better job in teaching them or in the quality of teaching than we are now, and we’re doing it with a more diverse student populations,” he said.

Wheeler bill makes sense It’s refreshing when common-sense legislation is proposed in Springfield.

House Bill 3715, filed by Crystal Lake Republican state Rep. Barb Wheeler, is legislation that makes sense.

The bill eliminates the four-year limit on the property-tax exemption for home improvements and additions as long as they were done to care for a senior citizen or disabled person living in the home. Instead, the For the record homeowner could claim the exempWe encourage lawmakers, tion for as long as especially those locally, to supthe senior or disport House Bill 3715. abled individual lives in the home.

Wheeler’s bill also increases the exemption from $75,000 to $100,000.

The goal is to make it attractive to keep seniors or disabled individuals in home care as long as possible and financially help those who open up their home.

“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 members?”

Wheeler said.

The bill also could help the state save money, and we all know the state needs to save as much money as possible.

A 2010 report by the Illinois Homecare and Hospice Council cited home health care as a way to save the cash-strapped state government money because it costs less and is preferred by most patients.

The bill is in the House Rules Committee awaiting assignment to the appropriate committees for hearings. We encourage lawmakers, especially those locally, to support the bill.

Those lost health care plans under Obamacare President Obama famously claimed that Americans who liked their insurance plans would be able to keep them under health care reform.

Well, that’s not completely true, nor is it the only example of the Obama administration failing to prepare the public for the Affordable Care Act’s phase-in.

Some Americans are starting to get ominous-sounding letters about their health care coverage. Insurance provider Florida Blue, for example, is canceling 300,000 bare-bones insurance plans that aren’t up to the Affordable Care Act’s standards. Customers can transition onto better quality – but more expensive – plans.

Unsurprisingly, reporters have found some unhappy customers. Conservatives, meanwhile, have charged that this is just another example of why the law is a lemon, forcing people onto plans they don’t want.

But, despite what the president might have said, this news should not have come as a shock, and it is not evidence that the law is a failure.

The reform underway is rooted in the notion that there is a certain catalog of health care benefits to which all Americans should have access, and that they should not have to pay outrageous amounts of money to get that coverage.

It means to accomplish that goal by mandating that everyone not on government-run programs such as Medicaid pay into the private insurance system, and by setting certain standards on what health care insurance must cover. The vast majority of Americans, most of whom get health insurance from their employers, won’t see much change. But a significant number – a study looking at 2010 figures said half – of customers currently buying insurance on their own don’t have plans of that quality.

Some of their plans won’t be touched, regardless, because the law grandfathers some old plans into the system. Some of the people who must transition onto different benefit packages might actually pay little extra, or even less, than they do now because the law will place new limits on how much insurance companies can mark up plans for the old and the sick and because the government will help a majority of people in the individual market pay for coverage. But there are some people – no one seems to know how many, exactly – who will end up paying more for insurance next year because they make too much to qualify for government subsidies, because they are young, because their previous coverage was shoddy, or, probably, a combination of the above.

Reform still might not sound like a great deal to people who are young, feel healthy and don’t want to pay for coverage. Yet having lots of healthy people paying into the new system on its terms will not only limit their financial risk, but also their participation will allow others who have been priced out of the health-insurance market – those with serious pre-existing conditions, for example – to obtain good coverage. They deserve compassion, too.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE What would Ben do?

To the Editor: Politicians today are obsessed with polls.

They live, eat, breathe and sleep with polls on their minds. They do not act or speak without having first studied the polls. It is not about doing what is morally right, constitutionally correct or in the best interests of the people. It is about taking actions or making statements that allow them to attain, maintain or increase political power.

Before our Declaration of Independence, men such as John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and George Washington did not have the benefit or the burden of national polls. They were guided by a conscience firmly rooted in Judeo-Christian values.

They were committed to doing what was right, not what was popular.

They so firmly believed in the need to declare their separation from British rule that they were willing to risk careers, fortunes, family and even their lives. They did not consult the papers, political strategists or journalistic pundits.

If indeed there were polls, the polls likely would have said that these men were extremists, traitors, hate-mongers and radicals.

Had they listened to polls, we still would be under British control.

John Boehner once remarked that, “Sometimes it is difficult to do the right thing.” Indeed, given the lack of political moral fiber and

courage, it has proved impossible.

When it comes to Mr. Franklin and the other founding fathers, our politicians should be asking, “What would Ben do?”

Voters deserve to know where Quinn stands SPRINGFIELD – Will the real Pat Quinn stand up?

One of the trademarks of the old pot-stirring Quinn – the one who existed before he became governor – is you knew where he stood.

You might not always have liked that rabble-rouser’s positions, but his resoluteness was admirable.

Today? Not so much.

Take a look at how Quinn handled an interview with another reporter who dared to ask about whether the governor supports keeping the “temporary” 67 percent income tax hike: QUINN: “Well, I think we have to deal with the pension reform, which is the No. 1 fiscal, financial issue.”

REPORTER: “But ... you campaigned on raising the income tax, should it stay in place?”

QUINN: “I have worked very hard on pension reform, I know the committee that I proposed ...”

In journalism, that’s what we call a non-answer.

Voters deserve to know where their chief executive

VIEWS Scott Reeder – who is seeking re-election – stands on one of the most important issues facing the state of Illinois.

But we’re left in the dark.

I liked the old Pat Quinn better.

That Quinn wasn’t ashamed to take a position. Apparently, that’s not the case anymore. And his habits are rubbing off on the aides reporting to him.

Today, his office packs in more flip-flops than a group of college spring breakers heading to South Padre Island.

Don’t believe me?

A few weeks ago, I asked all of the gubernatorial candidates where they stood on a constitutional amendment being promoted by GOP hopeful Bruce Rauner. The measure would limit the terms of state lawmakers, reduce the number of senators and slightly increase the

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

number of House members.

Here’s how a Quinn spokesman responded to my queries: Me: “So I could say he [Quinn] opposes the amendment as currently written because it includes expanding the size of the House?”

Spokesman: “Yes.” That would seem a straightforward and unambiguous answer. You can read the full email exchange on ilnews.org.

But after my article was published, another Quinn aide started telling newspaper editors that wasn’t what was said.

When I got wind of this, I filed a Freedom of Information Act request for his emails to find out just what was said.

It turns out, the administration was falsely claiming that it had never made a statement that it had.

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt.

After all, it’s possible the original spokesman misspoke or the governor changed his position. Or perhaps there wasn’t adequate communication between two spokesmen.

So I asked Quinn spokesman Abdon Pallasch to clarify where the governor stands on the amendment.

He declined.

So at the end of the day, we don’t know where the governor stands on two important issues: whether the tax hike should be made permanent or where he stands on a proposed constitutional amendment creating term limits for lawmakers.

The people of Illinois deserve to know where candidates stand on issues.

Without this information, voters can’t make informed decisions.

When the administration chooses obfuscation, it shows contempt not only for the voters but also for our democratic system.

Don’t the people of Illinois deserve better?

Gable Point Senior Housing offers living spaces for low-income seniors

Cary president not sold on idea

Sustainability is the capacity to endure. In ecology, the word describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time. Long-lived and healthy wetlands and forests are examples of sustainable biological systems.

Achieving sustainability will enable the Earth to continue supporting human life.

If you are interested in learning about systems that support sustainability or how to incorporate sustainable principles into your life, attend the Green Living Expo at McHenry County College from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.

Connect with individuals and businesses who like to learn about energy savings, composting, local food options, bird watching and green products.

Continuing to learn how our interactions with the environment can help or hinder the life of our planet is a powerful practice that can reinforce and motivate us to continue our commitment to everyday habits that collectively make a difference.

An additional left-turn

CARY – With video gambling now legal in town, village officials are preparing for the possibility that they will be approached to have video gambling cafes, something the village president signaled he would not be in favor of.

After the state approved video gambling terminals to be allowed in bars and restaurants with liquor licenses, there has been a push to open video gambling cafes.

The cafes are geared to attracting people to use the terminals, rather than terminals being an ancillary component of a business, said Chris Stilling, director of community and economic development.

“Somebody like Tracks or Coleman’s [In the Park], if they were to have a gaming terminal, obviously they have a track record of being a restaurant and bar, it would just be an ancillary use to that,” Stilling said. “Versus something like these video gaming cafes have really risen in response to the growth of video gaming in the state of Illinois.”

Stilling said the cafes usually don’t make the capital investment into making a full

Woodstock’s search for finance director ends City selects Schiller Park official to fill vacancy

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The city has pegged its next finance director, capping a lengthy search that started after City Manager Roscoe Stelford’s promotion in March.

Officials selected Paul Christensen, current head of the finance department of Schiller Park and formerly of Fox Lake, to assume the role.

“His breadth of experience in the municipal sector” was a key factor in the hiring, Stelford said.

Christensen, 39, is a certified public accountant with a certified public finance officer designation.

In Schiller Park, he works in a community with about half the population of Woodstock but with a similar budget.

“I thought it was a really good opportunity. I liked the community, and I thought I could bring a lot of the experience I gained at the other municipalities I’ve worked at.”

Paul Christensen, new Woodstock finance director He will start in Woodstock in mid-November.

Stelford said the budget similarities coupled with the fact Schiller Park, like Woodstock, has a tax increment financing district made Christensen a strong choice.

Schiller Park’s location near the airport allowed it to have more diverse revenue streams, Christensen said. But he also drew comparisons between the two communities.

“I thought it was a really good opportunity,” he said.

“I liked the community, and I thought I could bring a lot of the experience I gained at the other municipalities I’ve worked at.”

Christensen’s hiring is the result of the city’s second round of applications and interviews.

The position was first posted in April, netting 22 applicants.

City officials interviewed six applicants but decided to go back to the drawing board.

Cops make Halloween visits to sex offenders

By JIM DALLKE jdallke@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – This Halloween the Crystal Lake Police Department will make visits to all of the city’s registered sex offenders.

The police department announced that officers will conduct sex offender address verification compliance checks on all Crystal Lake sex offenders to ensure they are living at their registered address.

There are 24 registered sex offenders in Crystal Lake, including 19 adults and five juveniles.

Parents who wish to avoid these homes while their children are trick-or-treating are encouraged to visit the Crystal Lake Police Department’s website at www.communitynotification.com/il/crystallakepd or visit the Illinois State Police sex offender registry at www.isp.state.il.us/ sor, said Crystal Lake Deputy Chief Derek Hyrkas.

Juvenile sex offenders are not publicly listed.

Under Illinois state law,

“The kids are out in greater force than they normally are. It’s a way to formally let parents know that we have sex offenders in our community, and to let the sex offenders know that they aren’t allowed to be handing out candy.”

Derek Hyrkas Crystal Lake Police Department deputy chief registered child sex offenders are prohibited from distributing candy or other items during Halloween.

“We’ve been doing this the last three or four years,” Hyrkas said. “The state mandates that we do checks once a year, but we do between two and four a year.”

Project mainly uses state, federal funds • ROADS Continued from page B1 lane will be added along Route 120 for traffic turning north onto Route 31.

The $7.2 million project, funded mainly using state and federal dollars, includes a $928,000 state grant for street lighting and streetscape improvements. It required the city to match funds at 20 percent.

Work is expected to be

completed in November 2014, Destree said.

The additional lanes will improve safety and remove a traffic bottleneck that leads to severe congestion during peak travel times, according to city documents.

The average daily traffic count for the section of Route 120 where it joins with Route 31 was 32,900 in 2011, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation.

It is expected to reach 43,000 by 2040.

Video gaming cafe not prevented by ordinance • GAMBLING Continued from page B1 commercial kitchen and have food cooked off-site and brought to the establishment.

Nothing in the ordinance passed Tuesday by the Village Board prevents a video gaming cafe from proposing a location in town, Stilling said.

The places would need to have liquor licenses before applying for a gaming license from the state. Whether the village grants a liquor license to an establishment is up to Village President Mark Kownick in his role as liquor com-

“As it stands right now a [video gambling cafe] is not a direction we need to be going.”

Mark Kownick, Cary village president missioner.

Kownick said he supported video gaming as a way for businesses to gain revenue to reinvest into their buildings but said he doesn’t support video gaming cafes.

“To have food brought in, like a commissary kind of a thing, it just doesn’t appeal to me,” Kownick said. “I would rather look at opportunities that would serve the entire community, not just a niche.”

He said he much rather have a restaurateur come in, with a plan for a full-service menu, a bar and video gambling as a side feature.

“We’ve been charged with bringing additional restaurants and things to the village of Cary, which is very important to our constituents,” Kownick said.

“As it stands right now a [video gambling cafe] is not a direction we need to be going,”

Kownick added.

Trustee Bruce Kaplan, who also is a real estate agent, said he’s seen video gaming cafes become more popular in towns that have authorized video gambling. He added the cafes also try to attract a different demographic than taverns: women who are ages 35 and older. “[The cafes] take up vacant space, they serve three meals a day, they pay sales tax revenue, they hire local people [as] employees,” Kaplan said on Tuesday. “I personally don’t see any reason why we wouldn’t want to incorporate that into this ordinance.”

Human resources director ford was also serving as deputy city manager, a position that will remain unfilled.

“The city has historically used the deputy city manager when there is an interest, and when they have a real depth of understanding of the city as a whole,” Stelford said.

Hyrkas: Compliance checks important on Halloween • SEX OFFENDERS Continued from page B1 Hyrkas said while the police do these “knock and talks” throughout the year, the compliance checks on

Halloween are especially important because of the number of children walking the neighborhoods.

“The kids are out in greater force than they normally are,” Hyrkas said. “It’s a way to formally let parents know

that we have sex offenders in our community, and to let the sex offenders know that they aren’t allowed to be handing out candy.”

Hyrkas said the number of sex offenders in Crystal Lake fluctuates, but he said

24 is “about average” for the city. The address checks are a “proactive” measure, and there haven’t been any incidents involving children coming in contact with sex offenders on Halloween in recent memory, Hyrkas said.

Gail Barnum mixes chocolate earlier this month as she covers pieces of caramel to make salted caramel candies for Give Back Boxes at Anderson’s Candy Shop in Richmond. The Give Back Boxes help raise money for the Family Health Partnership Clinic.

Giving back through candy

CL Young Professionals host etiquette dinner

Sisters honor mother through family business fundraiser

By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com RICHMOND – As fourth-generation candymakers, Susanne Anderson and Katie Anderson-Tedder of Anderson’s Candy Shop know the business can be a tough labor of love, but they’ve found a reward that’s even sweeter than chocolate cremes: making a difference in the community.

Anderson’s Candy hosts an annual chocolate box fundraiser called Give Back Boxes in remembrance of Katie and Susanne’s late mother, Ruth Danner-Anderson. For $15.95, customers can purchase a four-piece box of specialty chocolates, with 25 percent of each sale being donated to the Family Health Partnership Clinic in Woodstock, a nonprofit, all-volunteer clinic that provides medical care for McHenry County’s uninsured.

Danner-Anderson died in 2009 from breast-cancer complications.

The sisters said their mother let her condition go untreated for too long because she did not know where to receive treatment without health insurance.

Had Danner-Anderson received treatment through an organization such as the Family Health Partnership Clinic, she could have beaten the cancer, Anderson-Tedder said.

Anderson-Tedder found out about the health clinic through her former reporting job with the Northwest Herald.

“I wrote a story about the clinic and realized it helps everyone, whether they’re sick, homeless or battered,” Anderson-Tedder said. “I couldn’t help but think that because I was young and uneducated about local resources, my mom died.”

Susanne Anderson, who had just graduated college and spent two years volunteering with Hurricane Katrina recovery, helped convince AndersonTedder to go back into the family business as a charitable duo in March 2012.

Anderson-Tedder said she called Family Health Partnership Clinic Di-

“I started crying on the phone and told Suzanne that I wanted to donate as much as possible to the clinic,” Anderson-Tedder said. “We always price the Give Back Boxes so that our proceeds only cover materials – nearly $4 is donated per box.”

Hoban said she is thrilled to partner with Anderson’s Candy Shop because it spreads awareness of the clinic within the greater community and lessens the chance of patients being turned away.

“We are able to say ‘yes’ to more people,” Hoban said. “Funds go to those most in need through medication or lab testing services. We don’t want to say ‘no’ to anyone.”

The Family Health Partnership Clinic saw 9,000 patients last year, when Anderson’s Candy donated $2,800 from its Give Back Boxes. The Clinic will be moving to Crystal Lake in coming weeks, and the candymakers have set a goal of $5,000 for this year’s fundraiser, which runs

The U.S. House approved Wednesday the Swaps Regulatory Improvement Act, a bill sponsored by U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Winfield.

The bill would amend the Dodd-Frank Act with “respect to the prohibition against certain federal assistance to swaps entities,” according to the legislation. It would allow banks to engage in swaps and still have “access to the Federal Reserve credit facilities or discount windows” and “Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance or guarantees.”

The bill was supported by the Illinois Bankers Association and the Illinois Chamber of Commerce. The U.S. House voted, 292-122, and Hultgren said he looked forward to “quick action in the Senate.”

The bill was opposed by some unions and Americans for Financial Reform.

That group said the bill “would change the law to permit public support of swaps dealing activities at some of the largest banks on Wall Street.”

through Dec. 31.

Anderson’s Candy has invested in 1,200 boxes to fill with milk chocolate butter cremes, dark chocolate salted caramels and turtles – something Anderson-Tedder knows her mother would be proud of.

“Mom would be really happy that Susanne and I are working together to help others,” Anderson-Tedder said.

“She would always take us to nursing homes or homeless shelters to show us how one person can make all the difference.”

And the sisters are now in the candy business for the long haul.

“I love candy,” Anderson-Tedder said. “I get goosebumps making candy when I know that it’s going to be more than just a piece of chocolate for someone. It’s going to make an impact.”

Anderson’s Candy Shop was established in 1919 in Chicago. The family business moved to Richmond in 1926. In November 2012 a second store opened in Barrington at 128 East Main. For information about the Give Back Boxes, visit www.andersoncandyshop.com.

Starbucks’ profit climbs, customers spend more NEW YORK – Starbucks said its profit rose 34 percent in the quarter, as the coffee chain used its loyalty program to get customers to visit more often and spend more on revamped sandwiches and other food.

The Seattle-based company said global sales rose 7 percent at cafes open at least a year, including an 8 percent rise in both the U.S. and Asia.

In the region encompassing Europe, the Middle East and Africa, where the company has struggled, the figure rose 2 percent.

Social Security benefits to go up by 1.5 percent

By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Social Security benefits will rise 1.5 percent in January, giving millions of retired and disabled workers an average raise of $19 a month to keep up with the cost of living.

The increase is among the smallest since automatic adjustments were adopted in 1975, and reflects the fact that consumer prices haven’t gone up much in the past year. The annual costof-living adjustment, or COLA, is based on a government measure of inflation that was released Wednesday.

“Yea. Whoop-de-do,” said Lance Colvin, a retired office worker in Kirkland, Wash. “That’s my opinion.”

Automatic COLAs were adopted in 1975 so that benefits for people on fixed incomes would keep pace with rising prices. Some advocates for older Americans, however, complain that the COLA sometimes falls short, especially for people with

high medical costs.

The COLA affects benefits for more than onefifth of the country: nearly 58 million Social Security recipients, as well as benefits for millions of disabled veterans, federal retirees and people who get Supplemental Security Income, the disability program for the poor.

Social Security pays retired workers an average of $1,272 a month. A 1.5 percent raise comes to about $19.

Benefits are based on lifetime earnings. The more you make, the higher your benefit – to a point. For someone who retired this year at age 66, the maximum monthly benefit is $2,533. That person will get a raise of about $40 a month.

The amount of wages subject to Social Security taxes is also going up. Social Security is funded by a 12.4 percent tax on the first $113,700 in wages earned by a worker, with half paid by employers and the other half withheld from workers’ pay.

The wage threshold will increase to $117,000 next year, the Social Security Administration

said. Wages above the threshold are not subject to Social Security taxes.

About 165 million workers pay Social Security taxes. About 10 million earn wages above the threshold, the agency said.

By law, the cost-of-living adjustment is based on the consumer price index for urban wage earners and clerical workers, a broad measure of consumer prices generated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It measures price changes for food, housing, clothing, transportation, energy, medical care, recreation and education.

The COLA is calculated by comparing consumer prices in July, August and September each year with prices in the same three months from the previous year. If prices go up over the course of the year, benefits go up, starting with payments delivered in January.

Since 1975, annual Social Security raises have averaged just over 4 percent. Next year will mark only the seventh time the COLA has been less than 2 percent.

8IN BRIEF Kraft’s third quarter profit up 7.3 percent NEW YORK – Kraft Foods Group Inc. says its net income rose 7.3 percent in the third quarter but revenue declined, mainly because of moves related to its split from Mondelez International a year ago.

Kraft said it earned $500 million, or 83 cents per share, for the three months that ended Sept. 28. That compares with $466 million, or 79 cents per share, a year ago.

Revenue declined 4.2 percent to $4.39 billion. Last year, Kraft shipped stock to retailers early as a precaution ahead of a systems changeover as part of its spinoff from Mondelez.

So it booked more revenue that quarter than it otherwise would have.

Kraft, based in Northfield, said it’s focusing on big innovations and refreshing older brands, such as Grey Poupon and Kool-Aid.

Consumer prices barely increase in September WASHINGTON – U.S. consumer prices increased only slightly in September, as higher energy costs offset flat food prices. The figures are the latest evidence that slow economic growth is keeping inflation tame.

The consumer price index rose a seasonally adjusted 0.2 percent in September, the Labor Department said Wednesday. That’s up from 0.1 percent in August. Higher gas, electricity and other energy costs rose 0.8 percent, making up about half the overall increase.

In the past year, consumer prices have increased just 1.2 percent, down from a 1.5 percent annual gain in August.

That’s the smallest 12-month gain since April.

Low interest-rate policies go unchanged

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve says the U.S. economy still needs support from its low interest-rate policies because it is growing only moderately.

In a statement Wednesday after a policy meeting, the Fed said it would keep buying $85 billion a month in bonds to keep long-term interest rates low and encourage borrowing and spending.

Yet the Fed seemed to signal that it thinks the economy is improving de-

spite some recent weak data and uncertainties caused by the partial government shutdown.

The Fed no longer expresses concern, as it did in September, that higher mortgage rates could hold back hiring and economic growth. And its statement makes no reference to the 16-day shutdown, which economists said has slowed growth this quarter.

Some analysts said this suggests the Fed might be prepared to slow its bond purchases by early next year – sooner than some have assumed.

“The tone was probably more positive on the outlook than most people

expected,” said Jim O’Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics.

Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics, said he was struck by the absence of any reference to the shutdown. He called the statement “remarkable for what it omits rather than includes.”

Some economists noted that Congress’ budget fight has clouded the Fed’s timetable for tapering its bond purchases. Though the government reopened Oct. 17 and a threatened default on its debt was averted, Congress passed only temporary fixes. More

deadlines and possible disruptions lie ahead.

Without a budget deal by Jan. 15, another shutdown is possible. Congress must also raise the government’s debt ceiling after Feb. 7. If not, a marketrattling default will remain a threat.

If the government manages to avert another shutdown in mid-January, Dana Saporta, an economist at Credit Suisse, said, “We could see a taper as soon as the Jan. 29th meeting.”

But she added that a continued budget impasse likely would delay any pullback in the Fed’s bond purchases until March or later.

Chili sauce plant feeling the heat

By JOHN ROGERS The Associated Press IRWINDALE, Calif. – It looked like things were really starting to heat up for this little Southern California factory town when the maker of the Sriracha chili sauce known the world over decided to open a sprawling 650,000-squarefoot factory within its borders.

Getting the jobs and economic boost was great. Getting a whiff of the sauce being made wasn’t, at least for a few Irwindale residents. So much so that the city is now suing Huy Fong Foods, seeking to shut down production at the 2-year-old plant until its operators make the smell go away.

“It’s like having a plate of chili peppers shoved right in your face,” said Ruby Sanchez, who lives almost directly across the street from the shiny, new $40 million plant where some 100 million pounds of peppers a year are processed into Sriracha and two other popular Asian food sauces.

As many as 40 trucks a day pull up to unload red hot chili peppers by the millions. Each plump, vine-ripened jalapeno

pepper from central California then goes inside on a conveyor belt where it is washed, mixed with garlic and a few other ingredients and roasted. The pungent smell of peppers and garlic fumes is sent through a carbon-based filtration system that dissipates them before they leave the building, but not nearly enough say residents.

“Whenever the wind blows that chili and garlic and whatever else is in it, it’s very, very, very strong,” Sanchez said. “It makes you cough.”

The odor is only there for about three months, during the California jalapeno pepper harvest season, which stretches from August to about the end of October or first week of November.

“This is the time, as they are crushing the chilis and mixing them with the other ingredients, that the odors really come out,” said City Attorney Frank Galante, adding Irwindale officials have gotten numerous complaints.

City officials met with company executives earlier this month and, although both sides said the meeting was cordial, the company

Sriracha chili sauce is produced at the Huy Fong Foods factory in Irwindale, Calif., on Tuesday. The maker of Sriracha hot sauce is under fire for allegedly fouling the air around its Southern California production site. balked at shelling out what it said would be $600,000 to put in a new filtration system it doesn’t believe it needs. As company officials were looking into other alternatives, said director of operations Adam Holliday, the city sued.

The case goes to court Thursday.

“We don’t think it should have ever come to this,” Holliday said.

In one respect, Huy Fong is a victim of its amazing success.

Company founder David

Tran started cooking up his signature product in a bucket in 1980 and delivering it by van to a handful of customers.

The company quickly grew and he moved it to a factory in the nearby city of Rosemead.

When it outgrew that facility two years ago, he came to Irwindale, bringing about 60 full-time jobs and 200 more seasonal ones to the city of about 1,400 people.

He said his privately held business took in about $85 million last year.

His recipe for Sriracha is

so simple that the Vietnamese immigrant has never bothered to conceal it: chili pepper, garlic, salt, sugar and vinegar.

The secret, he said, is in getting the freshest peppers possible and processing them immediately.

Even Galante, who is suing Huy Fong Foods, speaks highly of the sauce.

“It is a good product. The city has no issue with the product,” he said. “They just want them to upgrade, as good neighbors, and not negatively affect the residents.”

Wolves hope to continue impressive run

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Prairie Ridge quarterback Brett Covalt hands off to Zack Greenberg Sept. 6 against Woodstock in Crystal Lake. Prairie Ridge visits Lakes in a first-round playoff game Friday.

The numbers, even when considered by those who helped compile them, seem hard to believe.

The 154 points Prairie Ridge’s offense piled up during a threegame winning streak that rescued the Wolves from the brink of playoff elimination are impres-

Even in the midst of a difficult six-game stretch when the Wolves were shut out – twice – for the first time since 2006 and when the offense mustered only 77 points en route to a 2-4 start, there had been flashes that Prairie Ridge’s offense was starting to build steam.

The Wolves reviewed enough film to understand the speed they

sive enough.

The Wolves have amassed 1,268 yards of total offense and 22 touchdowns over that stretch to earn them a postseason berth at 7 p.m. Friday at Lakes, two years removed from a Class 6A state championship and one year after missing the playoffs altogether.

“It’s nuts,” senior fullback Zack Greenberg said.

CLASS 2A GRAYSLAKE NORTH SECTIONAL

Solid play of defense not enough for Marian

By PATRICK MASON pmason@shawmedia.com GRAYSLAKE – Marian Central boys soccer coach Jim Colvin looked at two things while preparing for Wednesday’s Class 2A Grayslake North Sectional semifinal match against Vernon Hills.

The Hurricanes played only one game on turf this season, a loss to Huntley in the first match of the season. So during the Hurricanes’ practice Tuesday, Colvin had the team play on a hard surface – the parking lot at Marian.

He wanted to have his team prepared for the speed of the game and be ready for sharp bounces that happen when playing on turf.

The first-year coach also wanted to slow the high-powered Cougars’ offense that had scored 13 goals while allowing two in their two playoff wins leading up to Wednesday’s match, which Vernon Hills won, 1-0.

“We had a game plan of sitting in and trying to hold a tight area where we could defend them, and our game plan was pretty good,” Colvin said. “But It boils down to a defensive mixup and not being able to clear the zone, but that’s soccer.”

Cougars forward Ilya Kravtsev scored on an assist from Caleb Shaw just eight minutes into the match. The Cougars advance to the sectional final Saturday against Antioch.

Valle’s save in PKs sends Warriors into final

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY – McHenry senior goalkeeper Frankie Valle knew there would be some guesswork involved as he prepared for penalty kicks during Wednesday’s Class 3A Huntley Sectional semifinal match against DeKalb.

Tied at 1 after two 10-minute overtime periods, McHenry and DeKalb faced off in penalty kicks.

And when it mattered most, Valle delivered the big save. Valle turned away DeKalb’s fourth penalty kick, his 11th save of the game, to give the Warriors a 2-1 win.

The Warriors edged the Barbs, 4-2, in penalty kicks to advance to Saturday’s sectional final against Larkin. Evan Hying, Mike Lawrence, Ryan Uhl and Phil Shelton each scored during penalty kicks

Scoreboard Wednesday’s semifinals Larkin 2, Hononegah 0 McHenry 2, DeKalb 1 (PKs) Saturday’s championship Larkin vs. McHenry, 5 p.m. for McHenry (13-8-3). It’s McHenry second consecutive win in penalty kicks.

“I just wanted to win,” Valle said. “I was looking for the ball and went to the right and blocked it with one hand. All I wanted was that one save to give our team the win.”

Early this season, DeKalb beat McHenry, 6-0, but the Barbs couldn’t replicate that offensive performance. DeKalb outshot the Warriors, 9-3. The Barbs also had 10 corner kicks, while the Warriors

did not attempt one.

“A Herculean effort by our guys against that team,” McHenry coach Tony Caruso said. “ ... We needed that Herculean, McHenry-style effort and we got it, so we’re happy with it.”

McHenry employed a bend-butdon’t-break defense most of the match. However, midway through the second half, DeKalb (19-3) finally got past McHenry’s defense to score the equalizer. Barbs forward Akim Suraji streaked down the left sideline, and his cross in front of the net found teammate Trevor Freeland, who tucked the ball inside the right post to tie the score at 1.

McHenry took a 1-0 lead at the 19:16 mark of the first half on senior Kyle Marsh’s goal. DeKalb goalkeeper Owen Sawyer (four saves) stopped Marsh’s initial shot, but he

fired the rebound into the back of the net to give McHenry the lead.

“We wanted everyone to get our marks and pressure hard,” Shelton said. “We knew to play smart and drop back if we needed to and not push up as much.”

DeKalb had plenty of chances to score in the first half. The Barbs had five corner kicks during the first 40 minutes but couldn’t convert. It seemed like a matter of when, not if, DeKalb would break the tie against McHenry, but the defense held strong.

“We felt like we had a ton of momentum,” Barbs coach Brent McIntosh said. “We had a desire to score that second goal, and I thought we had some real quality chances throughout the second half. McHenry did an outstanding job of packing it in and forcing us to play from distance.”

FIRE

Klopas, Leon out in shakeup

By SETH GRUEN Chicago Sun-Times

The Red Sox’s David Ortiz lifts relief pitcher Koji Uehara on Wednesday after Boston defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-1, in Game 6 to win the World Series in Boston.

WORLD SERIES GAME 6: RED SOX 6, CARDINALS 1

Boston Strong Red Sox overpower Cardinals for title

By RONALD BLUM The Associated Press BOSTON – There hasn’t been a party like this in New England for nearly a century.

Turmoil to triumph. Worst to first.

David Ortiz and the Boston Red Sox, baseball’s bearded wonders, capped their remarkable turnaround by beating the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-1, in Game 6 on Wednesday night to win their third World Series championship in 10 seasons.

Shane Victorino, symbolic of these resilient Sox, returned from a stiff back and got Boston rolling with a three-run double off the Green Monster against rookie sensation Michael Wacha.

John Lackey became the first pitcher to start and win a Series clincher for two different teams, allowing one run over 62/3 innings 11 years after his Game 7 victory as an Angels rookie in 2002.

With fans roaring on every pitch and cameras flashing, Koji Uehara struck out Matt Carpenter for the final out. The Japanese pitcher jumped into the arms of catcher David Ross while Red Sox players rushed from the dugout and bullpen as the Boston theme “Dirty Water” played on the public-address system.

“I say I work inside a museum, but this is the loudest the

museum’s been in a long time,” outfielder Jonny Gomes said.

And the Red Sox didn’t have to fly the trophy home. For the first time since Babe Ruth’s team in 1918, Boston won the title at Fenway Park. The 101-year-old ballpark, oldest in the majors, was packed with 38,447 singing, shouting fans anticipating a celebration 95 years in the making.

There wasn’t the cowboy-up comeback charm of “The Idiots” from 2004, who swept St. Louis to end an 86-year title drought. There wasn’t that cool efficiency of the 2007 team that swept Colorado.

This time, they were Boston Strong – playing for a city shaken by the marathon bombings in April.

After late-season slumps in 2010 and 2011, the embarrassing revelations of a chickenand-beer clubhouse culture that contributed to the ouster of manager Terry Francona, and the daily tumult of Bobby Valentine’s one-year flop, these Red Sox grew on fans.

Just like the long whiskers on the players’ faces, starting with Gomes’ scruffy spring training beard.

“As soon as we went to Fort Myers, the movie’s already been written,” Gomes said. “All we had to do was press play, and this is what happened.”

Ortiz, the only player remaining from the 2004 champs,

was the MVP after a Ruthian World Series. He batted .688 (11 for 16) with two homers, six RBIs and eight walks – including four in the finale – for a .760 on-base percentage in 25 plate appearances.

Even slumping Stephen Drew delivered a big hit in Game 6, sending Wacha’s first pitch of the fourth into the right-center bullpen.

By the time the inning was over, RBI singles by Mike Napoli and Victorino had made it 6-0, and the Red Sox were on their way.

And now, all over New England, from Connecticut’s Housatonic River up to the Aroostook in Maine, Boston’s eighth championship can be remembered for the beard-yanking bonding.

The win capped an emotional season for the Red Sox, one heavy with the memory of the events that unfolded on Patriots Day, when three people were killed and more than 260 wounded in bombing attacks at the Boston Marathon. The Red Sox wore “Boston Strong” logos on their left sleeves and erected a large emblem on the Green Monster as a constant reminder.

A “B Strong” logo was mowed into center-field grass at Fenway.

“All those that were affected in the tragedy – Boston Strong!”

Victorino said.

WORLD SERIES MVP

Dominant Ortiz wins top prize

By BEN WALKER The Associated Press BOSTON – Most Valuable Papi.

David Ortiz walked off with the World Series MVP prize Wednesday night, capping a dominant week in which he led the Boston Red Sox over David Ortiz St. Louis with a mix of power, patience and a most timely pep talk.

It was the crowning achievement in the career of Big Papi, now a three-time champion and the last link to the 2004 sweep over the Cardinals that ended an 86-year title drought.

After a while, the Cardinals simply gave up trying to get him out. Ortiz walked four times – three of them intentional – in the 6-1 win Wednesday night in Game 6 that clinched the championship.

When Ortiz came to the plate for the last time, in the eighth inning with the outcome safely in hand, Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina stood up and spoke to him in the batter’s box. Molina softly patted Ortiz twice on the side, too.

Well done, pal.

Ortiz then watched four more wide ones and trotted to first base, having piled up to-

Recent MVPs 2013–David Ortiz, Boston (AL) 2012–Pablo Sandoval, San Francisco (NL) 2011–David Freese, St. Louis (NL) 2010–Edgar Renteria, San Francisco (NL) 2009–Hideki Matsui, New York (AL) 2008–Cole Hamels, Philadelphia (NL) 2007–Mike Lowell, Boston (AL) 2006–David Eckstein, St. Louis (NL) 2005–Jermaine Dye, White Sox (AL) 2004–Manny Ramirez, Boston (AL) 2003–Josh Beckett, Florida (NL) 2002–Troy Glaus, Anaheim (AL) 2001–Curt Schilling and Randy Johnson, Arizona (NL) 2000–Derek Jeter, New York (AL) tals that not even slow-pitch softball players dream about: He reached base a whopping 19 times in 25 plate appearances.

The sellout crowd at Fenway Park broke into thunderous chants of “MVP! MVP!” each time Ortiz batted. Quite a turnaround for the 37-year-old slugger who badly slumped in the AL championship.

Ortiz hit 11 for 16 (.688) with two home runs and six RBIs against the Cardinals, and just missed a grand slam when Carlos Beltran robbed him by

reaching over the short bullpen wall.

Ortiz also drew eight walks and legged out a few infield hits, helped by St. Louis second baseman Matt Carpenter playing way out in shallow right field.

As Ortiz came up in the first inning, Molina and plate umpire Jim Joyce talked about him.

“This guy’s unbelievable,” Molina said on Fox audio.

“He’s fun to watch,” Joyce said.

Yet for all the impact he made swinging the bat in getting 11 of Boston’s 41 hits – or just standing there and watching the Cardinals pitch around him – Ortiz made an equally important contribution with his words.

With St. Louis leading the Series 2-1 and the Red Sox scuffling in Game 4, Ortiz called his bearded band together for an impromptu huddle in the dugout.

Ortiz said he merely told the guys to relax, stay loose and appreciate the moments. His teammates told a different story after Boston rallied to win.

“It was like 24 kindergartners looking up at their teacher. He got everyone’s attention and we looked him right in the eyes,” said Jonny Gomes, who answered with a winning home run. “That message was pretty powerful.”

Since Andrew Hauptman purchased the Fire in 2007, the team has gone through four presidents and four coaches.

The latest victims came Wednesday, when the Fire dismissed coach Frank Klopas and president of soccer operations Javier Leon after failing to make the playoffs this season.

Klopas’ firing came on a day he would otherwise be honored by the organization.

Today is the 15th anniversary of the Fire’s 1998 U.S. Open Cup championship when Klopas, a player for the Fire from 1998 until his retirement in 1999, scored the game-winning goal.

Since Hauptman took over the club, it has gone through four team presidents and four coaches. Leon most recently held the dual role of president of soccer operations and managing director of Andell Sports Group, which is the holding company for the club.

In the last 11 months, the Fire have gone through two presidents in Leon and Julian Posada, who stepped down Dec. 19, 2012. At the time of Posada’s departure, Hauptman wrote an open letter to fans that was posted on the Fire’s website, but team officials declined to comment on the situation further.

The dismissal of Klopas, a Chicago soccer icon who led Mather to the Public League championship in 1982 and scored the winning goal for the Fire in the U.S. Open Cup title game Oct. 30, 1998 – exactly 15 years before he was let go – is a curious decision.

Klopas was hired as technical director in 2008, then took over as interim coach after the Fire dismissed Carlos de los Cobos in 2011. Despite a poor start in 2011, the Fire nearly made the playoffs that season.

In 2012, Klopas guided the Fire to a 17-11-6 record before it fell in a single-elimination game in the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Injuries at the start of the 2013 season left the Fire in a 2-7-2 hole. The biggest was to center back Arne Friedrich, a German World Cup veteran, who was forced to retire because of a hip injury.

Frank Klopas was fired as coach of the Fire on Wednesday.

Sting returning to Chicago?

It’s unclear where recently dismissed Fire coach Frank Klopas may land, but the Chicago soccer icon may not need to go far to look for his next job.

A North American Soccer League source told the Sun-Times that there is a movement to bring the Sting back to Chicago.

Klopas played in 140 games for the Sting and scored 62 goals.

Talk of a Sting comeback has been circulating since early September when the Twitter handle @Chicago–Sting was established with the bio: “Chicago’s true football club. MIA since 1988. Some think it’s maybe time to make a comeback. Chicago’s footballing dreams.”

In September, the Sun-Times contacted former Sting owner Lee Stern who said he had no intentions of bringing the Sting back. Stern led the Sting to NASL championships in 1981 and 1984.

However, Stern did say that the NASL had contacted him regarding advice about running a team in Chicago. The biggest barrier, Stern said, is finding a facility. In September, NASL commissioner Bill Peterson called it a nonstory.

Despite potential struggles in finding a facility to house the Sting, a comeback would seem timely.

Some soccer fans in Chicago have shown disdain toward the city’s MLS club, the Fire. That has played out in the blogosphere and on the team’s website when a communications executive ranted at fans and defended ownership in an open letter to fans in late August.

– Seth Gruen, Chicago Sun-Times But the Fire rallied to finish 14-13-7, falling just short of the playoffs. The team lost its season finale 5-2 on Sunday to the New York Red Bulls. It would have clinched a playoff spot with a victory.

Success has never deterred Hauptman from making a coaching change.

Denis Hamlet was fired Nov. 24, 2009, after he guided the club to the Eastern Conference finals that season. In both his seasons as coach, Hamlett took the team to the conference finals.

The history of turnover in the organization might make it difficult for Hauptman to find replacements for Klopas and Leon. Although, in fairness, the club did announce

that its search only began Wednesday. The Fire didn’t indicate whether it would look to replace Leon or Klopas first.

“No one appreciates Frank’s passion, integrity and competitive spirit more than me,” Hauptman said in a statement. “Frank has been a big part of this organization for many years as a player, Ring of Fire member, technical director and coach. I want to personally thank him for his efforts over this period. He is a wonderful friend and will always be a member of the Fire family.”

ILLINOIS BASKETBALL

Young, thin roster creates questions

By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press CHAMPAIGN – No one expected what John Groce pulled off in his first season at Illinois.

A 23-13 record from a team fresh off a monumental collapse the season before. An appearance in the NCAA tournament.

No one, including Groce, knows just what to expect this time around.

The team that will open the season Nov. 8 against Alabama State won’t look anything like Groce’s first Illini team. Brandon Paul, D.J. Richardson, Tyler Griffey and Sam McLaurin are gone. The team is thin and young – the roster goes only 11 deep, and five of them are freshmen.

Paul was the team’s leading scorer, averaging 16.6 points a game, and the one player capable of carrying the team on any given night. There is no obvious replacement.

“Do I think on paper right now we’re as a good a shooting team as we were last year?

No,” Groce said. “We’ll play it by ear.”

Five things to watch about the Illini this season: Leaning on Egwu: Illinois is heavy on guards – seven of the 11 players on the roster – but short on big men. Only one, 6-10 freshman Maverick Morgan, is considered a pure center.

And only three — Morgan, 6-11 Nnanna Egwu and 6-9 freshman forward Austin Colbert — are 6-9 or taller. Morgan and Colbert are both young and raw, so much of this Illini team’s size and ability to play big under the basket will come from Egwu. He started 35 of Illinois’ 36 games last season, averaging 6.5 points and 4.9 rebounds a game. But as much as he’s improved his inside game, the junior is a solid outside shot, too.

“We’ll make him a moving target, you know,” Groce said.

“He has a great touch.”

College experience: Forward Jon Ekey, a graduate-student transfer from Illinois State, came to Champaign along with Drake transfer Rayvonte Rice to bring experience to a young.

Teaching is a big part what he’s been asked to do so far, Ekey said, but experience at Drake and Illinois State isn’t quite the

same as Big Ten experience.

Rice said Groce and his coaching staff started honing his physique and his game through diet, running and shooting and ball-handling drills.

“Coach Groce made that a point as soon as I got here: I had no time to waste,” Rice said, adding that he’s dropped about 35 pounds to get to his current 231 and decreased his body fat from just over 12 percent to about 5 percent.

Hometown kid: Rice grew up in Champaign but was never seriously recruited by Illinois until he’d spent a couple of seasons at Drake. The season he sat out under NCAA transfer rules was hard but did Rice good, Groce said.

“I don’t know if I’ve seen a guy sitting out on a transfer make the number of strides that Ray did,” Groce said, praising Rice for keeping the big picture in focus while he toiled out of sight. “It’s hard for guys, I think, to do that that are 18 to 22 years old.”

The 6-4 Rice has the versatility to play as many as four positions for the Illini, according to Groce. Rice says he’ll be glad to play for the team he grew up watching. “Just coming to those games as a little kid, it just feels great to have the orange and blue on,” Rice said.

Freshmen on the floor: With almost half the roster made up of freshmen, it’s a given that they’ll play. But the route to regular playing time isn’t what most of the young players might think. “I think most freshmen think the way to get to the floor is to score,” Groce said. “The freshmen who have played are the freshmen who take care of the ball and defend.”

December to remember? The Illini open with five games they should be able to handle. What comes next is a different story: If you throw in the Nov. 26 game at UNLV, the Illini have a run of nine games ending Dec. 31 that include four NCAA tournament teams from last season, plus games against an SEC school and ACC school (Auburn and Georgia Tech). Then they play in Chicago against an improving in-state opponent in Illinois-Chicago and face Indiana to open the Big Ten on New Year’s Eve at home.

NORTHWESTERN BASKETBALL

Collins’ hiring adds to buzz

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press EVANSTON – Northwestern made a sweeping change by hiring Chris Collins in the offseason and sent a loud message in the process.

Close calls are no longer enough. The Wildcats are looking for more.

That means establishing themselves as contenders in the Big Ten and shooing away that NCAA tournament albatross hovering above them, and they believe Collins is the man to get the job done.

They made that clear when they hired the former Duke star and longtime Blue Devils assistant to replace the fired Bill Carmody.

“You’ve got to have the results, too,” said Collins, a head coach for the first time. “It’s nice to have the buzz and the excitement and all that. But at some point in time, you’ve got to get on the floor and you’ve got to play.”

Collins knows the territory.

He’s the son of an NBA coach and a former Mr. Basketball in Illinois who grew up near campus in suburban Northbrook before going on to star for the Blue Devils.

Now, he’s trying to accomplish something no coach has been able to do – lead Northwestern, the school that hosted the first

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

FAU’s Higgins keeps it close Pelini resigns

• MARIAN Continued from page C1

The Hurricanes settled down defensively and didn’t allow anything easy the rest of the way behind a solid defensive performance from junior Beau Meintz and sophomore goalkeeper Jake Higgins, who made 12 saves.

Meintz spearheaded a defense that controlled the fast Vernon Hills attackers and shut down two separate 1-on1 opportunities in the second half.

“Beau has been the rock of the defense all season,” Colvin said. “He’s been a fantastic player for us and it continued [Wednesday.]”

While the Hurricanes stuck to their strong game plan, neither Colvin nor the players on either team could prepare for the weather. What started as a light drizzle during the opening half quickly turned into a downpour in the second half and forced the Hurricanes’ defenders and Higgins to play fundamentally sound while trying to keep the match close.

Despite the rain-slicked ball

and wet hands, Higgins made two point-blank saves in the second half and another that he had to completely stretch out for to keep out of the net on a free kick. Higgins, a goalkeeper for the travel team Sockers FC, is used to playing on turf and in poor conditions and learned a trick over the years to be better equipped for such situations.

“Nine months a year I’m on turf, and I’ve played in the rain,” he said. “[If the gloves are wet] it just makes it worse, so I kept my hands closed the whole game to keep the water off until I needed them.

“You also have to get your body behind everything and try to absorb shots. You can’t play with just your hands.”

His efforts kept the match close, but the Hurricanes couldn’t generate enough offense and had just five shots on goal. Part of the offensive woes stemmed from injuries during the match to top goal scorer Liam Gries, who suffered an ankle injury, and teammate Hunter Labas, who suffered a separated shoulder in the second half.

recruiting victories was an in-house job.

He retained Drew Crawford, a senior who received a medical hardship waiver after having season-ending right shoulder surgery and could have transferred. That was big, considering he averaged 13.5 points in 10 games last season.

Also returning: Besides Crawford, the Wildcats are getting guard JerShon Cobb back. He served a season-long suspension last year for violating team rules, leaving the Wildcats short-handed from the start.

Making a move: As an ACC product, Collins knows a thing or two about tough conferences. Now, he’s trying his hand at the Big Ten. “It gives me stomachaches at night,” Collins said. “I got all excited. Our schedule was released a few weeks ago. I got an email, it said the Big Ten schedule and I opened it. I saw the first five or six games, and I got sick to my stomach. I decided to stop looking that far down the road.”

The first six conference games are at home against Wisconsin, at Michigan and Iowa, home against Illinois and Michigan State, and at Indiana.

Reaching new heights: The Wildcats will have the tallest player in school history this season in 7-foot-2 redshirt freshman Chier Ajou of South Sudan. He’s the cousin of the Bulls’ Luol Deng.

Marian Central’s Bryan Hart makes a slide tackle against Vernon Hills’ Jeremy Cohen on Wednesday at Grayslake North.

Final Four, to the NCAA tournament.

The Wildcats came close under Carmody, making four straight NIT appearances before crashing last year under the weight of injuries and a suspension on the way to a 13-19 finish. Now, it’s Collins’ turn.

He’s facing some big obstacles, including high academic standards that limit the recruiting pool and an arena that ranks as the smallest in the Big Ten with a capacity of just more than 8,100.

Collins is embracing the challenge.

If nothing else, he learned from a Hall of Famer as an assistant to Mike Krzyzewski for 13 years, and his dad, Doug, is just a phone call away, too.

The season opener is Nov. 9 against Eastern Illinois, and with that in mind, here are five things to know about Northwestern: Leaving Princeton: The Princeton offense is out with Carmody gone. A motion offense is in and a quicker pace is coming with it, and Collins envisions a free flowing style that takes advantage of the Wildcats’ versatility.

“It’s going to be different – certainly the terminology, some of the ways you do things,” Collins said. “I also am trying to implement some of the principles and some of the things they did really well.”

The ASSOCIATED PRESS BOCA RATON, Fla. – Florida Atlantic coach Carl Pelini and defensive coordinator Pete Rekstis resigned Wednesday after acknowledging to university officials that they had used illegal drugs.

FAU received information about the allegations of drug usage Monday, said athletic director Patrick Chun. An investigation began immediately and Chun confronted the coaches Wednesday, a day when law enforcement officials also visited the school’s athletic offices.

“We hold ourselves to a standard here,” Chun said. “That behavior is unacceptable for a lot of reasons” Chun said that as of now, neither Pelini nor Rekstis is facing any charges.

be cool if we kept playing together [after MCC],” Gertonson said. “The opportunity there is great.”

Chicago State coach Steve Joslyn, a former Northern Illinois University assistant coach, has recruited MCC and McHenry County heavily. He also has McHenry senior catcher Cody Freund and Huntley senior shortstop Matt Sullivan committed for next year.

Gertonson, a utility man from Crystal Lake Central, played outfield for the Scots last season, hitting .273 with one home run and 13 RBIs. He likely will move to

third base next spring for MCC. “It’s great going to a place where I know a lot of people,” Gertonson said. “[MCC coach] Jared [Wacker] told me I had the tools, to work hard and make academics a priority and use MCC as a stepping stone.”

Gertonson also was recruited by D-II Adams (Colo.) State and NAIA Roosevelt in Chicago.

“Andy has a good skill set and he’s made the most of his time here and developing his game,” Wacker said. “I’m excited for him to get this opportunity.”

PR offense like up-tempo basketball • WOLVES Continued from page C1 Coach Chris Schremp likens his offensive scheme to an up-tempo basketball team that relies on its fastbreak ability to succeed.

But early on, the Wolves struggled to generate much of anything. Offensive linemen were coming off slow, backs were coming off slow and the lack of point production was the only evidence the Wolves needed to bring on change.

“We just weren’t as fast as we could have been,” senior offensive lineman Shane Evans said. “It was frustrating to see, but we finally got together and really made that push.”

Schremp kept pushing hard. Film study turned into constant repetition in practice.

But with time running short and the Wolves needing to win out over the final three weeks of the regular season, they knew they couldn’t waste any more time in getting things where they needed to be.

“We thought it would come around,” Schremp said.

“I don’t think we thought it would click the way it has the last couple of weeks. But we knew we could be a lot better than what we were.”

Prairie Ridge’s homecoming game against DundeeCrown was the turning point.

Evans and his fellow seniors took the opportunity to heart, believing it was their last chance to show what they were capable of. Little did they know that one win – a 42-0 victory a week after generating only one touchdown in a lopsided loss at Huntley – would be the kickstart they needed.

Since then, the Wolves have scored 56 points in consecutive weeks, not only getting to 5-4 and playoff eligible, but showcasing the kind of offensive firepower Schremp had envisioned all along.

“I don’t think we’re really shocked at all,” Evans said. “I think we knew the whole year we had it in us and it’s finally good to see it finally coming out.”

The thought of seeing their season end after nine weeks played a key turnaround. For junior quarterback Brett Covalt, who has run for 13 touchdowns to helped spark the Wolves’ offensive transformation, returning Prairie Ridge to the postseason was enough motivation.

But, like the way Schremp wants things run, it had to happen quickly.

“We didn’t want to end up like we did last year,” Covalt said. “After we lost a certain number of games (last year) and we knew we weren’t going to get into the playoffs, I felt like our team kind of gave up.

So this year, making the playoffs definitely drove us.”

Now that the Wolves are back in the postseason starting Friday night at Lakes (8-1), confidence couldn’t be higher.

But as high-powered as Prairie Ridge has been of late, especially offensively, Schremp won’t allow the accomplishments of the past three weeks to create a false security moving forward.

Now, it’s a matter of sustaining it.

“This is the first round of the playoffs, and what we did the first nine weeks of the season, good or bad, doesn’t really matter,” Schremp said. “We can look back and say, ‘Look at how good we were the last three games,’ but we could also say, ‘Look at how bad we were the three weeks before that.’

“So we just need to keep getting better. That’s what we’re preaching. Yeah, we scored a lot of points, but those points don’t mean anything in this next game.”

Heat put on clinic Defense shows how to fluster Rose, Bulls

By JOE COWLEY Chicago Sun-Times

AP photo

Participants, including Jennifer Roebuck of Richton Park, receive instruction on how to safely tackle during a clinic hosted by the NFL and the Bears for the mothers of youth football players Tuesday in Lake Forest.

Goodell teaches moms how to tackle ‘safely’ LAKE FOREST – NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell came to town to teach mothers how to tackle safely.

I am not making this up.

The event, sponsored by the league and the Bears, was titled “Football Safety Clinic for Moms.” The intent, no doubt, was to ease fears about letting their sons play the game. The timing was nothing if not fortuitous.

Last month, studies by researchers at the Virginia Tech-Wake Forest University School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences concluded that football players as young as 7 suffer hits to the head every bit as traumatic as those suffered by high school and adult players. Last week, an HBO Real Sports-Marist poll headlined “Youth Football Takes Hard Hit” found that 56 percent of respondents said the risk of long-term brain injury would be an important factor in deciding whether to allow their son to play football.

Five kids age 16 or younger have died playing high school football since August, two from brain injuries and a third suffered a broken neck. More than 25,000 football players from 8 to 19 years old seek treatment for concussions at emergency rooms every year.

None of that was mentioned during the breezy, 80-minute clinic.

It began with an introduction from Goodell, followed by remarks from TV talk show host Dr. Mehmet Oz, who’s a heart surgeon by training but needed no coaching on how to sell the game. Maybe because he’s already featured in an NFL promotional campaign that aired during last weekend’s games called “Together We Make Football.”

Oz was followed by athletic trainers who stressed the importance of properly feeding and hydrating young football players, and they were followed by Elizabeth Pieroth, who is the Bears’ neuropsychological consultant, but not a medical doctor. She presented checklists for recognizing concussion symptoms and recommendations for treatment, but suggested on balance that “boys like to hit things” and without proper channels for their aggression, they might do other things like drive too fast or drink too much.

It made me wonder how much more havoc NFL players might wreak if they weren’t playing, but then came time for the 200 or so moms to line up and learn the tackling techniques taught as part of USA Football’s “Heads Up Football” program.

“I line up my front foot right in the middle of my target, and why?” one of the instructors said during a demonstration, without waiting for an answer.

“So I can put my head to the side and make the tackle safely.”

Never mind that the improving science on concussions increasingly suggests all those measures above combined – and applied at every level – will reduce the numbers only so much, let alone the way the game is played in the NFL. At one point, I walked up to Goodell and tried to ask how much safer he believed football could actually be made. Instead of answering, he looked away and a burly

VIEWS Jim Litke member of his security detail inserted himself between us and said “No questions.”

Fortunately, though, Goodell had time for the moms. And after 20 minutes of practice, they were stoked. When they returned to their seats for a final 20-minute question-and-answer session with a panel that included the commissioner, Pieroth and several former Bears, one of the first questions was: “My son is 5 years old. I see linebacker in his future. When is too soon for him to start playing?”

Understandably, several panel members assumed she was asking about flag football.

When people in the crowd made clear there were tackle football leagues in the area for kids that young, the consensus on the panel was that each family had to make its own determination.

Suffice it to say that more than one expert would disagree. Dr. Robert Cantu, who is co-director of the Boston University Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy – where researchers have found CTE in 49 of the 50 brains of deceased NFL players they’ve autopsied – argues against youngsters starting contact sports like tackle football and hockey before age 14.

A year ago, Cantu co-authored a book laying out the case for young kids to play flag instead of tackle football. He said with enough information, parents would come around.

“They haven’t understood the dangers their kids are being subjected to,” he said at the time. “Once they do – and it won’t happen in weeks, or months, maybe even years – they’ll demand changes.”

What they got Tuesday night instead was slickly packaged, celebrity-packed reassurances that if they keep their eyes open and fingers crossed, football is less risky than riding a bike. That’s statistically true, except you’d have to keep crashing the bike over and over to simulate the multiple hits to the head that every football player compiles the longer he plays – and too many go unreported and untreated.

Barely two months ago, the NFL settled a lawsuit involving 4,500 former players for $765 million, a sum many observers considered paltry given the terrible and irreversible mental decline many of those players suffered. You might think, in the wake of that and after the suicides of popular former players Junior Seau and Dave Duerson, the league would lay low on the concussion issue for a little while.

But credit Goodell with chutzpah. He’s already out recruiting the next generation and tackling the safety concerns the same way the NFL conducts all of its business.

Head on.

YOUTH SPORTS

More study urged on concussions

By LAURAN NEERGAARD The Associated Press WASHINGTON – No one knows how often the youngest athletes suffer concussions. It’s not clear if better headgear is the answer, and it’s not just a risk in football.

A new report reveals big gaps in what is known about the risk of concussion in youth sports, especially for athletes who suit up before high school.

The Institute of Medicine and National Research Council on Wednesday called for a national system to track sports-related concussions and start answering those questions.

Despite a decade of increas-

ing awareness of the seriousness of concussions, the panel found young athletes still face a “culture of resistance” to reporting the injury and staying on the sidelines until it’s healed.

“Concussion is an injury that needs to be taken seriously. If an athlete has a torn ACL on the field, you don’t expect him to tape it up and play,” said IOM committee chairman Dr. Robert Graham, who directs the Aligning Forces for Quality national program office at George Washington University.

“We’re moving in the right direction,” Graham added.

But the panel found evidence, including testimony

from a player accused by teammates of wimping out, that athletic programs’ attention to concussions varies.

Reports of sports concussions are on the rise, amid headlines about former professional players who suffered long-term impairment after repeated blows. Recent guidelines make clear that anyone suspected of having a concussion should be taken out of play immediately and not allowed back until cleared by a trained professional.

Although millions of U.S. children and teens play school or community sports, it’s not clear how many suffer concussions, in part because many go undiagnosed.

Derrick Rose and his teammates were looking at it as an aberration.

Just more of that rust slowly crumbling off Rose after the Bulls point guard was parked in the garage for 18 months, rehabbing from his surgically repaired left ACL. But what Miami might have exposed in Tuesday night’s lopsided 107-95 win was a blueprint.

Much like they did to the Spurs’ Tony Parker midway through the NBA Finals last season, and did quite effectively, the Heat blew up the pickand-roll game by using the big defending on the pick to help trap the point guard with a double team.

And not just trap, but trap aggressively and physically.

After Rose scored two easy baskets in the first quarter against the back-to-back defending champions, he saw much of the same treatment.

The result was a 4-for-15 shooting night for just 12 points, but even bigger, five turnovers from Rose and an offense that far too often looked out of whack.

“I think you really have to take advantage of it where when they trap, make the easy play to the middle guy, who-

ever is setting the pick, and they have to make plays from there, but make the game as simple as possible,’’ Rose said of his troubles with the Heat defense. “They have great defense, but it was me making the right plays. The double-teaming, from there we have to just play easy basketball and not force anything.

And it takes me making shots.

I don’t think I forced anything.

I just couldn’t knock down any shots.’’

It wasn’t that simple.

Rose did split the double-team several times and attack the rim, but because of Miami’s athleticism there was a body waiting to challenge him in the paint as well.

The Heat mindset was simple: Make someone other than Rose beat them.

When the Bulls finally did climb back into the game to at least make it interesting in the fourth quarter, it was Kirk Hinrich running the point and not being trapped.

Hinrich eventually fouled out, and back in came Rose. “[Rose] looked fine,” Bulls All-Star center Joakim Noah said. “We’ve got to get our spacing. They were trapping, and when they trap we have to get easy offense. It’s on all of us.”

Now it’s not like Rose hasn’t seen a trap before. The

All-Star has had every type of defense known to man thrown at him before. But that was pre-torn ACL. The good news in all of this is that Miami is very unique in how they can trap. Specifically, they have two players named LeBron James and Chris Bosh who are athletic enough to close off an escape route for opposing point guards and long enough to make it tough for them to pass over the top.

So while it might be a blueprint for how the Heat will continue to play Rose in the future, very few teams have the personnel to duplicate it.

Coach Tom Thibodeau was asked about the way Miami trapped Rose and responded, “I thought it was a very physical game. That’s something [Rose] has to get used to. He will.”

Asked if Rose tried to do too much out of the trap, Thibodeau paused and repeated, “It was a very physical game.”

“We didn’t adjust right,” Rose said. “The only thing we can do from it is learn from it.”

They better be quick learners. The rematch with the Heat is Dec. 5.

BLACKHAWKS

Youngsters give Hawks ‘balance’

By MARK LAZERUS Chicago Sun-Times Brandon Pirri was a teenager when he walked into an NHL dressing room as an NHL player for the first time. He looked around and saw the big names – Toews, Kane, Hossa, Sharp, Keith, Seabrook – with a mix of awe and fear. Not even a lifetime of locker rooms can prepare a player for a moment so thrilling and daunting.

“I was 19,” said Pirri, whose one game that year – the 2010-11 season – happened to be the night those players raised a banner commemorating their Stanley Cup championship. “It was a little nerve-wracking.”

Brandon Saad called his early days in the Blackhawks’ dressing room “unnerving.”

Ben Smith said they were “surreal.” Jeremy Morin deemed them “strange.”

Now? They all call it home.

And while the influx of young, relatively inexperienced players has caused some growing pains for the Hawks as they defend another Stanley Cup, it also has injected some energy and some hunger into a highly accomplished, veteran room.

Pirri (22), Morin (22) and Smith (25) – along with Joakim Nordstrom (21) and Jimmy Hayes (23) earlier in the season – have had cups of coffee with the Hawks. Each is now getting (or has gotten) a chance this season to become permanent NHL players. And their enthusiasm can rub off on those who’ve been around awhile.

“Those are guys that are eager to prove themselves,” said Hawks captain Jonathan Toews, barely two months older than Smith but with 462 more NHL games to his credit. “That always helps your team when you have a guy who’s playing hungry and

who wants to earn ice time and earn more of a role on this team. When you have guys playing with that motivation, it always helps.”

Hawks general manager Stan Bowman jettisoned veterans such as Dave Bolland, Michael Frolik, Viktor Stalberg, Jamal Mayers and Daniel Carcillo largely because he wanted to get the next generation out of Rockford and in Chicago. He said he wanted to “keep the cycle going,” touting the benefit of youth and the inherent risk of inertia.

The downside is these players still are finding their way, and the learning curve at the NHL level is steep. But the Hawks believe the upside is worth it. And with Pirri looking solid in two games at second-line center and Morin appearing to be a nice fit in Stalberg’s old role at thirdline right wing, the more tangible benefits are starting to appear.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS FOOTBALL

Freshmen do their part for NIU

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com DeKALB – For the first five games of the season, Joel Bouagnon was going through the typical year of a true freshman who the coaching staff was planning to redshirt.

He didn’t dress for home games, instead wearing an NIU road white jersey with no pads, and didn’t travel.

Fast forward to now, and a lot has changed for Bouagnon (pronounced Bwon-NYO), an Aurora Christian graduate.

He dressed for the Huskies’ game against Akron on Oct. 12, and traveled Oct. 19 to Central Michigan.

When the Huskies took on Eastern Michigan last week, Bouagnon’s redshirt was pulled, and he spent a lot of time in NIU’s backfield, carrying the ball 10 times for 35 yards and catching a 10-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Lynch.

“It was a good experience for me,” Bouagnon said. “I liked making plays for my team.”

Fellow true freshman Draco Smith came to DeKalb as a defensive back and played corner the whole summer, but he was moved to running back the week before the season opener against Iowa to provide depth.

Monica Maschak – mmaschak@shawmedia.com

Offensive lineman Ryan Brown hugs running back Joel Bouagnon after Bouagnon scored a touchdown in the first quarter against Eastern Michigan on Saturday in DeKalb. The Huskies won, 59-20.

“They asked me if I wanted to stay at corner or help the team out,” Smith said. “So I decided to help the team out.”

Smith has plenty of experience in the backfield, as he played running back at Chicago Mount Carmel. He didn’t have any offers to play tailback in college, but said that was because he committed early, giving his commitment to NIU in July 2012.

With NIU having some depth issues at tailback, it has forced both Smith and Bouagnon to lose their redshirts.

Senior Akeem Daniels hasn’t even practiced yet, as he’s still recovering from offseason foot surgery. Keith

Harris Jr. suffered an ankle injury at Kent State, and will miss the rest of the year after having surgery, while Giorgio Bowers left the team before the Purdue game.

Starter Cameron Stingily, who has been a nice surprise this year after having only one carry in 2012, missed the Eastern Michigan game because of turf toe. Early last week, the coaching staff made the move to take the redshirt off Bouagnon.

At Tuesday’s news conference, Carey said he expected Stingily to be back for this week’s game against UMass, and the junior practiced Wednesday.

OUTDOORS & FINE PRINT

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Hard to dislike outdoorsmen A couple of weeks back, I was listening to Jay Cutler’s weekly Monday afternoon radio show. The hosts asked Cutler how he spent his extra days off that the team had because the Bears had just played a Thursday game, giving them the weekend off.

I was totally floored when he answered, “I went deer hunting with my dad.” I don’t know why, but I hadn’t figured on No. 6 being a hunter.

The hosts showed they had no clue about the sport of hunting when they asked if Jay had “bagged a buck” and wondered about what Jay and his dad talked about as they “walked through the woods stalking deer.”

I’ve been a Cutler fan ever since the day that the Bears acquired him. The fact that he is an outdoorsman only cements my esteem for the man.

I am funny in that regard. I tend to appreciate public figures a little more when I find out that they hunt or fish. I figure, how bad can a person be if they enjoy time recreating in the great outdoors?

I relish it when a celebrity or sports figure talks about his passion for hunting and fishing. The way I figure, if a fan hears his hero talking about hunting or fishing, it just might bring another new person into the sport. I know it certainly can’t hurt our recruiting efforts.

Please note that when politicians have photos taken with a gun in their hands while they don an orange vest for the first time in their lives, I am not impressed.

Think back to 2004, when Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry described his love for hunting, “I go out with my trusty 12-gauge double-barrel, crawl around on my stomach. I track and move and decoy and play games and try to outsmart them. You know, you kind of play the wind.

That’s hunting.” My internal BS detector went off like an atomic bomb when I heard that one.

That said, I wish more Hollywood folks, recording stars and athletes would talk about their love of outdoor sports. Did you know that singer Avril Lavigne and actress Eva Longoria were hunters? Harrison Ford, Kevin

SOCCER

OUTDOORS Steve Sarley Costner and Tiger Woods are all serious fishermen. Incredibly, The Who’s lead vocalist, Roger Daltrey, loves fishing so much that he built a fly-fishing resort near his home in England.

I can’t find a NASCAR driver or a country-and-western performer who isn’t into hunting or fishing.

I am a devout, lifelong fan of the Cubs. Conversely, I have always been a fan of whoever was playing the dreaded White Sox. During the Sox’s championship season in 2005, I learned that a number of the players were outdoorsmen.

The list included bass fisherman Jermaine Dye and hunters Mark Buehrle, Joe Crede and A.J. Pierzynski. Guess what? I couldn’t find it in my heart to root against the Sox in the Series. Too many outdoorsmen on that team.

I give everyone a pass if they belong to the brotherhood of outdoorsmen and women. I just can’t dislike somebody who is a hunter or fisherman.

There are outdoorsmen all over the ranks of pro athletes. The Bears’ Charles “Peanut” Tillman enjoys doing a little shooting at Coon Creek Hunt Club, and Devin Hester loves being on his bass boat in the offseason. Former Cubs broadcaster Bob Brenly has a fishing hook-up in every city.

Bo Jackson is a phenomenal archer. Ex-Bull Toni Kukoc was an incredibly avid fisherman. Legendary Blackhawks goalie Tony Esposito totally loves chasing salmon and trout on Lake Michigan. The list is endless.

Surprisingly, while researching this subject, I discovered that Paris Hilton claims to be a big fan and practitioner of the sport of fishing.

Forget what I said about not being able to dislike someone who hunts or fishes.

deer. This week is the best pre-rut and start of the true rut. I like to use a rattle bag and doe bleat along with S&P estrus scent. A good decoy with glass eyes and motion can lure in some big bucks, also. So far, reports of seeing deer are good if the crop fields around the woods are down. If the crops are in where you hunt, be sure to be in your stands as soon as they come out!

Duck and goose hunters are having good hunts with the first and last hours of shooting time the best.

Muskie fishing has been good but should get even better as the water cools.”

• Honest John from C.J. Smith’s resort on Grass Lake sends word, “Our last day will be Sunday. The crappie action continues to be awesome along channels or lake shorelines. The channels around Spring Lake have been especially good. Small fatheads or waxworms tipped on a chartreuse or white Mini-Mite jig are working well.

Striper action is great on Petite Lake and Bluff Lake and in the surrounding channels. Small fathead minnows or spikes work best.

Muskie action has been very good on Petite Lake and also on Bluff Lake by Airport Bay. Channel Lake and Lake Catherine by Bob’s Marina are always good spots. Use large crank baits, golden roaches or large suckers.

POWER RANKINGS

Broncos RB Moreno tops fantasy surprises

How all 32 NFL teams stack up heading into Week 9, according to Hub Arkush: Jamaal Charles

Lance Moore

Golden Tate

Last week we looked at fantasy’s biggest 2013 disappointments. This week we take a positive spin and address a more pleasant topic: The 10 Ten Fantasy Surprises So Far. About the list: To be considered a Top 10 Fantasy Surprise, we considered aggregate draft position, total points and points per start.

Points are based on standard scoring with no points per reception.

1. Kansas City Chiefs

2. New Orleans Saints

3. Seattle Seahawks

4. San Francisco 49ers

Record says they’re the best, only undefeated left.

Look like the most complete team in the league, offense and defense.

7-1, but ugly victory in St. Louis.

They’ve dominated since early two-game skid.

10. Chiefs Defense: Aggregate Draft Position: 236/Points Per Start: 10.3

Andy Dalton

Once a pushover target for your fantasy lineup, the Chiefs are currently 8-0 and lead all defenses in fantasy points scored. On average, they were the 21st defense to come off fantasy football draft boards.

Eddie Lacy

9. Peyton Manning, QB, Denver: Aggregate Draft Position: 15/Points Per Start: 28.4

5. Denver Broncos

6. Cincinnati Bengals

7. New England Patriots

8. Green Bay Packers

Struggled a little before bouncing back against Redskins.

Win over Jets one of the best performances in the league this year.

Very impressive after stumbling early vs. Dolphins.

Could still be No. 1 if they get healthy.

Calvin Johnson

Andrew Luck

9. Indianapolis Colts

10. Detroit Lions

11. Carolina Panthers

12. San Diego Chargers

Three best wins in the league, Denver, Seattle, San Francisco, but how do they replace Reggie Wayne?

Basically, best of the rest after last-second miracle over Dallas.

Don’t look now, but if Cam Newton stays steady, they’re very hard to beat.

Philip Rivers never better, but defense has to get better.

13. Bears

22. Oakland Raiders Just 3-4, but still a big surprise.

Next two weeks, Green Bay and Detroit, will tell season’s story.

14. Arizona Cardinals

23. Buffalo Bills They don’t have the horses to stay with teams like the Saints.

Playoff-caliber defense with minor league offense.

15. Dallas Cowboys So, tell us there was anything positive about the Dez Bryant show?

16. New York Jets When a team fails to show up, like the Jets did in Cincinnati, they’re impossible to take seriously.

17. Miami Dolphins If Tannehill can just shake the two or three awful plays per game.

18. Baltimore Ravens There’s just nothing special, or super, about this year’s version.

19. Tennessee Titans May just be missing one more playmaker on each side of the ball.

24. Philadelphia Eagles Now they can’t play defense or offense.

25. Atlanta Falcons Loss in the desert probably their last hurrah for this year.

26. Houston Texans This Sunday against Colts last chance to save their season.

27. Washington Redskins Offense coming back, but how did defense get this bad?

28. New York Giants Two wins in a row, but talk about winning ugly.

29. Pittsburgh Steelers Seemed to have something going with two-game streak, but left it in Oakland.

30. Minnesota Vikings Forget the score, they were awful vs. Packers.

20. St. Louis Rams

31. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Probably played their best game of the season against Seattle, but it’s still a loss.

They may be more embarrassing than Jaguars because they have more talent.

21. Cleveland Browns

32. Jacksonville Jaguars

Hung tough with No. 1, still need a lot of work on offense.

They have a real shot at 0-16.

Bears quarterback Jay Cutler is out with a groin injury that was expected to sideline him at least four weeks.

Of all the nonstories to come out of Halas Hall in the past dozen-plus seasons, none have been built more on hot air and innuendo or as completely lacking in evidence or facts than reports that flew Tuesday that Jay Cutler may be on pace to return from his groin injury sooner than the initial prognosis, which was a bare minimum of four weeks.

Cutler never said it, Marc Trestman never said it ,and no doctors have commented on Cutler’s injury at all. The whole thing is a figment of the imagination of All Pro wide receiver Brandon Marshall.

Filling in for Cutler on his weekly radio show Monday night, Marshall announced that he, Dr. Brandon Marshall, is convinced Cutler will return for the Lions game Nov. 10. OK, maybe I’m giving Marshall a degree there he hasn’t exactly earned.

I’m sure Cutler was thrilled, particularly knowing he’d be meeting the media Tuesday for the first time since his injury. During the Tuesday interview, he repeatedly refused to respond in any way to questions about what he’s doing to rehab the injury, where he’s at, how it’s going or anything doctors or trainers might be telling him.

Of course, it only took about 20 seconds for the question to come. “Jay, what do you think about Dr. Marshall’s proclamation?”

Cutler laughed. Please hear that again, he laughed and said, “He’s optimistic,” another quick smile “and so am I. So we’ll see how it goes.”

“You know, when I had my thumb I didn’t feel that, I mean this has been the most significant painwise that I’ve had,” Cutler said.

Hmm, that can’t be good, can it?

“Brandon is a teammate and he’s optimistic that his teammate will be back,” coach Marc Trestman said. “He’s not the doctor, and when I talk about a player’s prognosis to play, it’s not mine. It’s what the doctors have said is the normal. That

Recent history favors Packers 1

Monday night is the renewal of the NFL’s oldest and best rivalry. This will be the 187th meeting between the Bears and the Packers with the Bears holding a 92-88-6 edge. The Packers have won the past six meetings and eight of the past nine. This will be the 11th time the two have met on “Monday Night Football,” with a bit of an unusual twist. They are the No. 2 and No. 3 scoring units in the NFL with the Bears second at 30.4 points a game and the Packers third at 30.3.

2

While this will be Bears coach Marc Trestman’s first Bears/Packers game, Packers coach Mike McCarthy is no stranger to the rivalry and has fared well. He is 10-5 against the Bears, including 1-0 in the playoffs.

Perhaps Jay Cutler is ready for a day off against the Packers. In the last meeting Dec. 16, 2012, at Soldier Field, Cutler was 12 for 21 for 135 yards and an interception in a 21-13 Packers victory. Brandon Marshall was the only wide receiver to catch a pass with six catches for 56 yards. The Packers’ Aaron Rodgers was 23 for 36 for 291 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions. doesn’t mean that Jay can’t beat the odds and come back quicker. He’s optimistic and we all are. But I don’t make that determination, the doctors do.”

So one more time now guys, what the doctors have said is the groin injury Cutler suffered will keep him out a minimum of four weeks and he’ll then be evaluated week-to-week after that.

I believe we all know what the word minimum means.

For all of you out there screaming about Adrian Peterson, he didn’t beat the minimum, he obliterated the norm.

Translating that to Cutler’s injury would equate to him being 100 percent in four weeks.

And here’s the real problem with all of this. What kind of message are Marshall and everyone else who seems to think Cutler getting back early is the most important thing that can happen for the Bears sending to Josh McCown and the rest of his teammates about their faith

in them to get the job done without their starting quarterback?

Maybe to McCown it’s like water off a duck’s back. Or maybe, even if it’s subconsciously, it’s one more weight he doesn’t need right now.

Clearly Cutler is a better quarterback than McCown, and clearly the Bears are best off getting him back as quickly as possible. Based on everything we know and even everything we think we actually know, that will be Nov. 17 – four weeks from the date of the injury – at the absolute earliest. Most likely, it will be a week or more after that.

In the meantime, wouldn’t everyone be best off focusing all their efforts on instilling their faith in McCown rather than letting him know how little they value him?

Some might argue with listing the world’s most famous athlete as a “surprise.”

However, Manning was the third quarterback to come off the board and lasted until the third or fourth rounds in many drafts. He is currently leading fantasy in total points and points per start.

If you drafted Manning – unless you completely butchered the rest of your draft – you likely have a winning record.

8. Josh Gordon, WR, Cleveland: Aggregate Draft Position: 108/Points Per Start: 12.7 I guess it’s a surprise when anyone on the Browns produces. Gordon is a superior talent who has played well despite abysmal quarterback play. His draft position was undoubtedly affected by the two-game suspension he served at the start of the season. Patient owners who drafted Gordon are being rewarded.

7. Marvin Jones, WR, Cincinnati: Aggregate Draft Position: Not drafted/Points Per Start: 9.9 With Jones scoring four touchdowns last week, this probably seems like a kneejerk reaction. However, Jones had produced in the two weeks before and has averaged 21 points per game over the past three weeks.

6. Tony Romo, QB, Dallas: Aggregate Draft Position: 59/ Points Per Start: 19.5 Matthew Stafford was considered here, but Romo has produced similar results and was drafted 17 spots lower than the Detroit quarterback. Currently, Romo is ranked fourth among fantasy quarterbacks and (on average) he was the 11th quarterback to be selected in fantasy drafts.

5. Jordan Cameron, TE, Cleveland: Aggregate Draft Position: 116/Points Per Start: 11.5 About a dozen tight ends were taken before Cameron, who currently ranks No. 3 at his position with 92 fantasy points.

4. Fred Jackson, RB, Buffalo: Aggregate Draft Position: 117/ Points Per Start: 13.4

Although teammate CJ Spiller received all of the pre-draft attention, it’s the steady Jackson who leads Buffalo in touches and scores. Jackson ranks No. 9 among fantasy backs with 94 points. Not bad for the 39th running back to come off fantasy boards.

3. Terrance Williams, WR, Dallas: Aggregate Draft Position: Not drafted/Points Per Start: 8.8 Most of us thought that Miles Austin would complement Dez Bryant, but the rookie from Baylor has emerged as the second fiddle in Dallas. Williams has averaged 14.8 points in his past four games. Feel free to part ways with Miles.

2. Jordy Nelson, WR, Green Bay: Aggregate Draft Position: 68/Points Per Start: 13.5 Maybe you’re not surprised that Nelson has produced, but it would have been hard to expect this level of play. Not only was Nelson taken after 24 other receivers, he was actually the third receiver on his team to be drafted (behind Randall Cobb and James Jones). Currently, Nelson has 108 points, which is third among all wide receivers. Clearly, the injuries to Cobb and Jones improved Nelson’s status, but, hey … that’s why it’s a surprise.

1. Knowshon Moreno, RB, Denver: Aggregate Draft Position: 205/Points Per Start: 15 The 63rd running back selected has outscored all but one other running back (Jamaal Charles). To get a better idea of how crazy that is, consider this: As the 63rd back drafted, he was likely the No. 5 or No. 6 back on a fantasy roster. Heading into the season the situation in the Denver backfield was murky. Those who bet on Moreno won big.

Honorable mention: Stafford, Andre Ellington, Jordan Reed, Alshon Jeffery, Joique Bell, Wes Welker, Philip Rivers.

MATCHUPS TO EXPLOIT Bengals at Dolphins, 7:25 p.m. Thursday Don’t look now, but Andy Dalton is fantasy’s sixthhighest scoring quarterback and has notched 85 points in his last three games. There is no reason to think the train will derail in Miami.

The frustrating thing with the Bengals is that there have been few other fantasy beneficiaries during their recent success. Giovani Bernard and BenJarvis GreenEllis have disappointed on the ground and tight ends Jermaine Gresham and Tyler Eifert have combined to score just two touchdowns all season. The safe plays are Dalton, AJ Green, Jones and

Bears at Packers, 7:30 p.m.

Monday The home team should romp in this game. The Bears are giving up 30 points per game and have twice yielded 40 or more. After this week it will be thrice. Load up on all the usual Packers’ suspects. Jarrett Boykin is a nice sleeper, even if James Jones returns. The Bears will be way behind, so play the Packers defense and hope for some long interception returns.

For the Bears, much will depend on the play of fill-in Josh McCown. We do not recommend playing McCown and that makes it hard to recommend Alshon Jeffery or Martellus Bennett. You probably have to play Matt Forte and Brandon Marshall.

Forte is the better play. Sit the Chicago defense.

Atlanta at Carolina, noon Sunday Give the green light to all your Panthers, especially Cam Newton. DeAngelo Williams is a good play, as are Greg Olsen and the Carolina defense.

MATCHUPS TO AVOID Titans at Rams, noon Sunday Just try and find a solid fantasy starter in this game.

We dare you. Zac Stacy?

Maybe, but check his health.

Falcons at Panthers, noon Sunday It’s a red light for Atlanta.

Even Matt Ryan stumbled last week, and Carolina’s defense is better than Arizona’s. In fact, the Panthers have given up a league-low 96 points all season. It would be hard to sit Harry Douglas after two big games, but it would be even harder to start Steven Jackson after his horrible performance in Week 8. We’ll stop just short of telling you to waive Jackson, but you’d have to be pretty desperate to play him until he shows he has something left in the tank.

Pittsburgh at New England, 3:25 p.m. Sunday This looks to be a defensive affair. Not even Tom Brady is a lock these days.

the Cincy defense. Kicker Mike Nugent is a decent oneweek starter if your regular kicker has a bye.

On the other side of the ball, Miami is a fantasy enigma. It’s hard to recommend Ryan Tannehill against a defense that has yielded just 144 points all season. He and receiver Mike Wallace are clearly not on the same page.

Lamar Miller and Daniel Thomas are in a running back timeshare. If you’re desperate, Miller is probably the better play.

Happy home life stops couple from getting out and about Dear Abby: My boyfriend, “Mark,” and I have been together for a year. We met at work and have dated ever since. Several months ago we were offered a job opportunity in another state. We moved in together and are happy.

My problem is, over the past few months we have been living together, our personal relationship has come to a halt. We still care about each other deeply, but no longer do the things couples do. We don’t go out on dates or see the new city we’ve moved to.

Do you have any advice on how I can get Mark to go out and see the sights without

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips sounding whiny or pushy? – Baltimore And D.C. Beckon Dear Baltimore: Tell Mark the two of you appear to have become housebound and you don’t think it’s healthy – particularly because Baltimore and Washington, D.C., have many entertainment and cultural opportunities to offer.

Then create a “bucket list” and have him choose from the menu of choices that are available. If that doesn’t inspire

him, ask HIM to create a list, or start exploring on your own.

If you are successful at getting Mark out of the house, it may liven up your relationship. But if it doesn’t, you may have more serious problems to deal with, and a heart-to-heart talk with him about your entire relationship is in order.

Dear Abby: My son’s birthday was yesterday. I invited him to dinner at a very nice restaurant. When he showed up, he had two other men with him. They didn’t offer to pay for their food, so I had to pay for all of us.

My son is 32, and I would

like to say something about this to him. Or should I just not invite him to nice dinners out? – Taken Advantage Of In

Sugarland, Texas Dear Taken Advantage Of: No. SAY something to him.

And when you do, it should be something like this: “Son, springing unexpected guests on your host is bad manners.

You should have asked permission first. I was appalled that your friends didn’t offer to share the expense. Please don’t do that again because if you do, I’ll stop inviting you.”

eral neuropathy. I know people with diabetes often get neuropathy, but I’m not diabetic. What else can cause this condition? And what can I do about it?

Dear Reader: Neuropathy is a medical term that means nerve damage. The type of nerve damage people with diabetes get involves specific nerve fibers in all nerves, particularly the nerves that travel to the legs and feet.

The symptoms of peripheral neuropathy include numbness and tingling. Some cases cause burning, shooting or stabbing pain. When the doctor does a physical examination and touches your feet and lower legs with something as light as a feather, you may not feel it.

However, you will feel it if the cotton touches your skin in the thigh or elsewhere in the body.

You also may lose sensation to a pinprick in the lower legs and feet, but not the rest of you.

Diabetes is the most common cause of peripheral neuropathy. But neuropathy can result from other causes as well. These include: • Excessive alcohol intake.

• Hypothyroidism. In this condition, the thyroid gland does not produce enough thy-

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff roid hormone.

• Amyloidosis, a disease in which an abnormal protein accumulates in the body.

• Vitamin deficiencies, particularly vitamin B1, B12 and folate deficiency.

• Infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

• Critical illness, particularly if you develop a severe inflammatory response to infection.

• Guillain-Barre syndrome.

This uncommon autoimmune disorder damages the peripheral nerves.

• Chemotherapy cancer treatment.

Diagnosing peripheral neuropathy is best done by electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS). Such testing often is not necessary, as your symptoms, your medical history and your doctor’s physical examination make the likelihood of diagnosing peripheral neuropathy high enough such testing is unnecessary.

Treatment of peripheral neuropathy begins with treat-

ing the underlying cause of the condition. For example, let’s say your neuropathy is related to heavy drinking. You should severely restrict, or better yet abstain, from alcohol. If your neuropathy is caused by hypothyroidism, treatment with replacement doses of thyroid hormone should help.

The other goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms.

Treatment targets pain caused by peripheral neuropathy.

Several medications can help.

Gabapentin, an anticonvulsant medication, is usually effective. Tricyclic antidepressants can effectively relieve pain.

Finally, while neuropathy itself causes pain, it (strangely enough) reduces sensitivity to pain caused by outside injuries. This makes you particularly vulnerable to foot damage. If you develop a cut or sore on your foot, without pain to alert you, you may not even notice the injury. Untreated, a simple wound may become severely infected. To prevent this, carefully check your feet every day and treat any foot injury immediately.

Kristin Cavallari and her Bears quarterback husband Jay Cutler are one step closer to having their own football team.

Cavallari is pregnant with their second baby.

The 26-year-old former star of MTV’s “Laguna Beach” and “The Hills” confirmed the news Wednesday on Twitter.

She wrote: “We are so excited for Camden to be a big brother!” Camden is the couple’s 14-month-old son.

Cavallari and Cutler were married last June in Nashville, Tenn. The family splits their time between Nashville and Chicago.

High school calls for twerk stoppage

Elmo, Big Bird to tell kids how to get to produce section A trip down the grocery store produce aisle soon could feel like a stroll down “Sesame Street.”

Under an agreement announced Wednesday by Michelle Obama, the nonprofit organization behind the popular children’s educational program will allow the produce industry to use Elmo, Big Bird and Sesame Street’s other furry characters free of charge to help market fruits and veggies to kids.

The goal is to boost consumption of fruits and vegetables among children who often turn up their noses at them.

Sesame Workshop is waiving its licensing fee for two years under an arrangement with the Produce Marketing Association and the Partnership for a Healthier America, a nonprofit organization that supports the first lady’s nationwide “Let’s Move” campaign to reduce childhood obesity in the U.S. Starting as early as next spring, eggplant could be brought to you

by Elmo, Big Bird could be pushing the beets and the Cookie Monster could become the Celery Monster.

The produce association will develop guidelines for how members should use the characters.

Shoppers, and any children who accompany them, can expect to see their favorite Sesame Street characters on bagged, boxed and individual pieces of produce.

One Southern California high school has added twerking to its list of dances that are banned for students.

The Orange County Register reports Tuesday administrators at Aliso Niguel High School decided the rump-busting dance is sexually suggestive and no longer should be allowed on campus or at dances.

Twerking now joins “freaking” and

“grinding” as prohibited dances at the Orange County school.

Those who break the rules could be ineligible for future dances for the remainder of the school year. Parents also will be notified.

No other high schools in the Capistrano Unified School District say they have banned twerking.

Twerking has gained recent popularity among teens thanks to pop star Miley Cyrus, but the dance has been around for a while.

Thicke, others sued for ‘Blurred Lines’ Two of Marvin Gaye’s children sued Robin Thicke and his collaborators on the hit song “Blurred Lines” on Wednesday, accusing them of copyright infringement and alleging music company EMI failed to protect their father’s legacy.

Nona Marvisa Gaye and Frankie Christian Gaye’s suit is the latest salvo in a dispute over Thicke’s hit and whether it copies elements of Gaye’s song “Got to Give It Up.” Their lawsuit seeks to block Thicke and collaborators Pharrell and T.I. from using elements of their

father’s music in “Blurred Lines” or other songs.

Thicke has denied copying Gaye’s song for “Blurred Lines,” which has the longest streak this year atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart and has sold more than 6 million tracks so far.

The suit also accused Thicke of improperly using Gaye’s song “After the Dance” in his song “Love After War.” Much of the lawsuit focuses on claims that EMI should have pursued a copyright infringement claim. It also alleges the company’s executives used intimidation to try to stop the Gaye family from pursuing a lawsuit.

The suit claims EMI, which is owned

by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, has allowed a conflict of interest between the family’s rights and the profits it is earning from “Blurred Lines” sales.

“This conflict has resulted in EMI’s intentional decision to align themselves with the (‘Blurred Lines’) writers, without regard to the harm inflicted upon the rights and interests of the Gaye Family, and the legacy of Marvin Gaye,” the lawsuit states. Sony-ATV said it takes “very seriously” its role of protecting its songwriters’ works from infringement.

Builder seeks house harvesters in fall Jerry Kuyper

McHENRY - By the end of October, a few of the original 121 lots in Phase I remained to be sold at Liberty Trails.

That has not prevented Gerstad Builders from putting 57 more lots on the market in Phase II at the semi-custom subdivision on the city’s east side.

Meanwhile sales continue at the company’s other subdivision locations including The Trails of Pheasant Ridge in Richmond, the Trails of Dawson Creek in Poplar Grove

and Bailey Estates in Williams Bay, WI. At Bailey Estates there is more activity than usual as construction is underway on a two-story Roosevelt model.

Scheduled for completion by January 2014, the 2,094 squarefoot Roosevelt model is priced at $224,490. Company president Roger Gerstad emphasized a good deal awaited potential buyers. The three-bedroom, two-and-one-half bath house includes basement, air conditioning, ceramic flooring, granite kitchen counter tops, and stainless steel appliances (gas range, microwave range hood and dishwasher).

Gerstad said when guests walk through the completed house on a sales tour, they “will be impressed with the feeling of spaciousness and the abundance of natural light that fills the rooms.”

Since it is a contemporary open floor plan, unnecessary walls are eliminated between first floor rooms. The kitchen flows into the breakfast area, which continues uninhibited into the family room, Gerstad said.

The first floor also has a 12-foot, 6-inch-by-12-foot, 6-inch room adjacent to the entry foyer.

Calvin Coolidge said, “Never go out to meet trouble.

If you will just sit still, nine cases out of 10 someone will intercept it before it reaches you.”

Does that apply at the bridge table?

Probably one’s immediate reaction is that it does not. However, think some more and you will remember the times when you thought you were going down in your contract, but suddenly a defender came to your rescue.

At other times, though, matters are in your own hands.

You must take a positive step to ensure that you do not get into trouble -- as in this deal.

South cruises into three no-trump. West leads the spade jack and East plays his king. How should South steer?

Declarer starts with six top tricks: two spades (given the irst trick), two hearts, one diamond and one club. As the other three winners must come from clubs, it is tempting either to cash the club ace or to cross to dummy’s heart ace and call for the club queen.

As you can see, after either of these lines, South’s

ship sinks.

There is a safety-play that guarantees smooth sailing even if clubs split 4-0. At trick two, South should lead a low club from his hand. Here, East takes dummy’s jack with his king and returns a spade.

South wins, plays a heart to dummy’s ace, leads a club to his nine, cashes the club ace, and sails safely into port.

If West had started with four clubs, dummy’s queen would have won the second trick. Declarer would have played a club to his ace and led another club through West’s king.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

! !

TODAY - Plan to have some fun in the year ahead.

Decorating, renovating or making a positive move that allows you greater freedom to purse outside interests will be just what the doctor ordered. Activity and innovation will spur valuable new relationships.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Put more muscle and elbow grease behind any job you’re asked to do. By taking on more responsibility, you will encourage others to look to you for answers. Take control of your life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Don’t give in too easily today. Do what you can to help others, but keep personal information a secret. Sharing a good time is one thing, but divulging your feelings is something else.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Take pride in what you do, and you will be given the opportunity to take on more responsibility. It’s a good day to attend to business, sign deals or firm up on an agreement.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Expect to receive plenty of suggestions from well-meaning individuals, but when it comes down to making a decision, you will be best served by taking a chance and doing things your way.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You’ve got what it takes to get what you want. Don’t wait for someone else to step in and take over. Broaden your plans and expect to raise your standard of living.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You’ll thrive on change. Share your emotions and don’t be afraid to stand up to anyone acting pushy. Someone from a different background will spark your interest.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Discuss your plans and get started on them. The more energy you put behind whatever you do, the more interest you will gather.

A partnership will increase your chance to excel.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Work relentlessly and put your signature on whatever you do if you want to receive star treatment. Compliments will encourage you to make an important move.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- He who hesitates is lost. Don’t let an emotional situation ruin your plans or your fun. Getting involved in an event, activity or social gathering will be to your benefit.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Someone is likely to face off against you. You will have to make an instant decision followed by a fast move if you want to maintain what you’ve worked so hard to achieve.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Bend a little, and you will get whatever you want. Conversations will help you gain respect and the support you need to achieve your goals. Good fortune will come from helping others.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don’t second-guess yourself. If you don’t understand, ask. Once you have a clear picture regarding what you are supposed to do, you will be able to add your own touch.

WHATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S GOING ON

PlanitNorthwest.com

FOOD & DRINK Compound butters can be sweet or savory and are a quick and easy way to dress up any meal. The beauty of a compound butter is that when it melts on hot food, it seasons the food like a complicated sauce, but without any of the time needed to make one. Since pork chops are synonymous with fall, why not serve a chipotle-pumpkin seed butter on top of your chops?

The autumnal orange-red color of the butter studded with green pumpkin seeds smiles with Halloween colors, making this a perfect dinner for all your ghosts and goblins. Find the recipe at PlanitNorthwest.com/foodanddrink.

“Tron”

“Babylon 5” with co-star Claudia Christian.

CONNECTED to CRYSTAL LAKE Actor Bruce Boxleitner reflects on growing up in the area

By JAMI KUNZER

“Scarecrow and Mrs. King” with co-star Kate Jackson.

jkunzer@shawmedia.com

A

ctor Bruce Boxleitner learned to ice skate and swim in Crystal Lake.

He’s kind of reminded of those days growing up in a small house surrounded by woods and open fields as he works on his latest project, Hallmark Channel’s popular original series “Cedar Cove.”

Boxleitner lived in Crystal Lake until age 10 when his family moved to Mount Prospect, where he graduated from high school.

“It’s a good place to come from,” he said of Crystal Lake. “I think whether I liked it or not, I learned a certain ethic there. Just hometown people with a good work ethic. They were always very hard-working people, and I think I’ve carried that through the rest of my life.”

With numerous family members still in the area, Boxleitner still feels quite a connection to Chicago and its suburbs.

He’s an alumnus of Chicago’s Goodman Theater (later renamed the Theatre School at DePaul University), where he starred in 1972 in the Broadway production of “Status Quo Vadis” with Ted Danson.

He went on to star in popular film and television shows, such as “Tron,” “Scarecrow and Mrs. King,” and “Babylon 5.”

In “Cedar Cove,” he plays Bob Beldon, the owner of the local inn. The show is based on author Debbie Macomber’s book series of the same name.

Although filmed in Vancouver, the show is set in the fictional small town of Cedar Cove, Wash., where Judge Olivia Lockhart, played by Andie MacDowell, is considered the community’s guiding light.

Recently renewed for a second season scheduled to air in 2014, the show is the Hallmark Channel’s first scripted series. It has succeeded, Boxleitner said, be-

“Cedar Cove” stars Dylan Neal (from left), Andie MacDowell and Bruce Boxleitner. cause of its relatable characters and simplicity.

“So much of what we have on television is not relatable unless you know any vampires or zombies or serial killers,” he said. “I love those things, too. You just get overloaded with it. [Cedar Cove] has sort of a retro feeling, television like it used to be. ... This is kind of a safe harbor for an hour.”

Boxleitner’s character, Beldon, and his wife, Peggy, played by Barbara Niven, will become a bigger part of the show in the upcoming season, he said.

“Everybody else is in turmoil in their private lives,” he said. “We have a little less drama going on, but there’ll be some good storylines coming up.”

He likes the small-town feel of the show, especially since the small-town America as he knew it growing up is kind of disappearing, he said.

The Crystal Lake he remembers was much more rural than it is today with “a lot of room to run,” he said.

His father worked as a milkman during the day and attended night school to become an accountant so his

mother could stay home and raise the couple’s children.

To this day, his parents still think he probably doesn’t work as much as he should, he said.

“They have no idea where this comes from,” he said of his acting inspirations. “They were very frightened when I first told them I wanted to be an actor. There was no reference for them, other than the stories you hear. ‘You’ll starve to death.’ I’m a very fortunate guy.

I think luck has a lot to do with it, being in the right place at the right time.”

One of Boxleitner’s first big roles was in the televisions series “How the West Was Won” in 1978.

He said he misses westerns, his “real home” when he started.

“They don’t make a lot of those anymore, not good ones really,” he said.

He went on to star in numerous others, but is likely best known for “Tron,” “Babylon,” and his role as Lee Stetson in “Scarecrow and Mrs. King,” opposite Kate Jackson.

He was among a group of “Scarecrow and Mrs. King” stars to gather recently for a 30-year reunion. An actual reunion television show likely won’t happen, he said.

“Like all of these things, it’s a time and a place ... to try to recapture it would be very difficult,” he said. “It would be impossible.”

Because of “Babylon” and “Tron,” Boxleitner often makes the rounds at Comic-Con conventions.

And he’s also authored two books, “Frontier Earth,” and “Frontier Earth: Searcher.”

“I’m perfectly happy. I’m doing fine,” he said. “I’ve been here a long time. I’m considered a veteran actor now, so I’m fine with that. I don’t have to chase the bad guys down alleys anymore or leap over fences. Thank God, I wouldn’t make it. Halfway down the alley I’d be wheezing.

“I’ve had a lot of fun, a lot of great memories, all good memories.”

Asa Butterfield

‘Ender’s’ a thought-provoking thrill An anti-bullying allegory writ on the largest possible scale, “Ender’s Game” frames an interstellar battle between mankind and pushy ant-like aliens, called Formics, in which Earth’s fate hinges on a tiny group of military cadets, most of whom haven’t even hit puberty yet.

At face value, the film presents an electrifying star-wars scenario – that rare case where an epic space battle transpires entirely within the span of two hours – while at the same time managing to deliver a higher pedagogical message about tolerance, empathy and coping under pressure. Against considerable odds, this risky-sounding Orson Scott Card adaptation actually works, as director Gavin Hood pulls off the sort of teen-targeted franchise starter Summit was hoping for.

Card’s novel assumes a situation where, in the wake of a massive Formic attack, the world’s children are somehow best suited to protect their planet from an imminent second strike. The most promising young recruits train on elaborate videogame-like simulators while a pair of officers – Col. Hyrum Graff (Harrison Ford) and Major Gwen Anderson (Viola Davis) – monitor their techniques in search of “the One,” a child with the strategic instincts to save his species.

The leading candidate is Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield), a runt-like outsider whose behavior toward his aggressive classmates reveals his true potential.

Like “The Hunger Games,” the pic peddles the unseemly idea of watching

“Ender’s Game” STARRING: Harrison Ford, Asa Butterield, Hailee Steinfeld, Abigail Breslin PLOT: The International Military seek out a leader who can save the human race from an alien attack. Ender Wiggin, a brilliant young mind, is recruited and trained to lead his fellow soldiers into a battle that will determine the future of Earth.

RATED: PG-13 for some violence, sci-i action and thematic material TIME: 1 hour, 54 minutes kids thrust into life-and-death situations.

Although they’re not instructed to kill one another, these moppets’ prime directive should also give parents pause, raising the stakes from hand-to-hand combat to the potential genocide of an unfamiliar race. Fortunately, Hood (who also penned the adaptation) factors these weighty themes into the story without making them the primary focus. Between the officers, Graff’s agenda is more complicated than he lets on, while Anderson represents the voice of reason, remarking, “It used to be a war crime to recruit anyone under the age of 15.” But these are not soldiers, per se, but highly skilled Junior ROTC types, training on virtual conflict scenarios.

Butterfield – who has grown into his big blue eyes, if not the rest of his body, since “Hugo” – makes ideal casting for Ender: He’s scrawny and physically unimposing, yet there’s an intensity to his stare that suggests he might indeed be masking deeper (or darker) gifts. It’s

nothing so powerful as the Force, or Neo’s Matrix-bending abilities, though “Ender’s Game” dedicates nearly its entire run time to Battle School, where our hero and his fellow recruits practice various drills, including an anti-gravity game (the rules of which aren’t terribly clear) that looks like the next best thing to Quidditch.

Despite the obvious “be all you can be” subtext, “Ender’s Game” manages to make these training sequences compelling without veering into pro-military propaganda, doing so by focusing on the interpersonal dynamics between the various squad members. Although Card may have publicly revealed his own prejudices, the casting department has assembled a wonderfully diverse group of young actors – male and female, they come in all colors, shapes and sizes – to serve alongside Ender.

So much youthful energy onscreen makes Ford seem tired and weary by comparison. Still, it’s a treat to discover Han Solo all buttoned up and back to do more space battle – not that anyone here is quite as lively or memorable as the characters B-movie fans discovered in “Star Wars” three dozen years ago. Butterfield’s “Hugo” co-star Ben Kingsley also pops up for a late cameo, sporting an Australian accent and an elaborate Maori tribal tattoo across his entire face (a poor man’s Darth Maul, perhaps?). It might not seem fair to compare what Hood has created to someone as visionary in all things sci-fi as George Lucas, and yet, considering the sizable budget expended on “Ender’s Game,” one could have hoped for something a bit more groundbreaking.

‘Vegas’ a Geritol-powered ‘Hangover’

By SCOTT FOUNDAS Variety As creaky as an arthritic hip, “Last Vegas” does for four leading stars of the ‘70s and ‘80s what movies like “Tough Guys” and “Grumpy Old Men” did for survivors of Hollywood’s storied Golden Age: It lets them show they can still throw a punch, bust a move and get it on, and that they’re not quite ready for the Motion Picture Home just yet.

Beyond that, this genteel “Hangover” for the AARP crowd has little to recommend it, although a smattering of funny gags and the nostalgia value of the cast keeps the whole thing more watchable than it has any right to be.

One doesn’t exactly expect “Death in Venice” from a movie that begins on a shot of female cellulite jiggling beneath the surface of a Florida community pool. But as various seniorcentric pics have proven, from Martin Brest’s delightful caper “Going in Style” to Ron Howard’s “Cocoon,” going gray isn’t automatically an impediment to a screenplay that consists of more than death and Viagra jokes. But “Last Vegas” scribe Dan

“Last Vegas” STARRING: Robert DeNiro, Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Kline PLOT: Three sixty-something friends take a break from their day-to-day lives to throw a bachelor party in Las Vegas for their last remaining single pal.

RATED: PG-13 on appeal for sexual content and language TIME: 1 hour, 45 minutes Fogelman (who wrote the monumentally smarter and shrewder “Crazy, Stupid, Love”) pretty much sticks to the lowest common denominator as he contrives to get four childhood friends together in Sin City for the bachelor party of the last unmarried man among them.

He’s named Billy and played by a blow-dried, spray-tanned Michael Douglas in what feels like a watered-down version of the actor’s magnificent aging lothario from 2009’s “Solitary Man.” When Billy impulsively proposes to his strapping 31-year-old girlfriend (in the midst of delivering a friend’s eulogy, no less),

best bud Sam (Kevin Kline) – the one trapped in that infernal Florida swimming pool – suggests a boy’s weekend in Vegas, and the rest of this white-haired wolf pack is soon to follow. Back when they were kids on the streets of Brooklyn, Billy and his pals were known as the Flatbush Four, although now they’re mainly just flat and bushed: In addition to Sam, there’s stroke survivor Archie (Morgan Freeman, essentially reprising his “Bucket List” character) and surly widower Paddy (Robert De Niro), who hasn’t forgiven Billy for skipping out on his wife’s funeral (she was their shared childhood sweetheart).

From all points, they converge on the ultra-luxurious Aria casino resort, where they find themselves comped with a penthouse suite — and a personal concierge (Romany Malco) — after Archie cleans house at the blackjack table. That pretty much gives them the run of the place, though they do make one important side trip to nearby Binion’s, where Billy catches the eye of a jazz chanteuse shimmering in a sparkly mauve gown as she belts out “Only You” in a

desolate hotel bar.

The singer, Diana (Mary Steenburgen), also is “of a certain age” and has been around the block a few times, but unlike her male counterparts in “Last Vegas,” she’s been written as more than a one-dimensional type, and she’s played by the marvelous Steenburgen with a richness that goes even beyond what’s on the page.

She’s an oasis of real, grown-up emotion in a movie that often feels more sophomoric (and a lot less funny) than the concurrent “Bad Grandpa.”

The rest of the movie rarely if ever rises to Steenburgen’s level. Most of the comic payoffs are so obviously telegraphed the audience can see them coming within a few frames of the setup. Actors like these can sometimes be a pleasure to watch even when saddled with sitcom material, because their timing and delivery is still better than most. But in “Last Vegas,” everyone seems to be on a mildly diverting paid vacation, especially Freeman, who can scarcely disguise his contempt for the material. He doesn’t just seem to be phoning it in; he seems to be emailing it in from his trailer.

Film crew chooses Crystal Lake as setting for ‘The UnMiracle”

By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com In many ways, the city of Crystal Lake helped inspire a movie being filmed throughout the city.

Filming this month through midNovember at private homes and businesses, such as The Cottage, filmmakers hope to release “The UnMiracle” in January. With more than half of its cast from the area, It is based on the true story of someone who died of a prescription drug overdose in Crystal Lake.

David Wingate of Crystal Lake is producing the film, having partnered with his childhood friend, Andrew Papke, who is the film’s writer and director.

They grew up in Buffalo Grove.

“All the characters are based on real people we’ve known in our lives,” Papke said. “We’re not trying to portray people, but all the characters and incidents are inspired by events that have actually occurred to Dave [Wingate] or me.”

Targeting a Christian audience, the film is meant to reflect what it’s like to grow up in a city like Crystal Lake and also perhaps educate about the dangers of prescription drug use, especially by teens.

See UNMIRACLE, page 19

Although DVDs of the film will be available online through sites such as iTunes, Netflix and the film’s website, www.auslynn.com, it likely will be shown only at churches as opposed to in theaters.

The hope is any money the churches raise from showing the film can be donated to causes and topics related to the film, such as drug awareness and veteran programs, Papke said.

“We are not doing this for the money,” he said.

“We found out very early if we did this for the money, the whole project would be tainted and false.”

Filmmakers sought to tell a story not often told in Hollywood that reflects what it’s like to grow up in the Midwest.

Because of this and the beauty of Crystal Lake, the city was an ideal setting, Papke said.

“We wanted to portray what we knew. You write what you know and portray what you know,” he said.

“What we know is growing up in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago and living in a community just like Crystal Lake. ...

“We feel like this is a voice long ignored in Holly-

wood movies, our own voice, which is that of suburbanites.”

Forming Auslynn Films (www.auslynn.com), the filmmakers cast from open auditions and casting calls at area high schools, but also drew upon numerous local people to work as extras, mainly on a volunteer basis.

Amy Lyndon, who has appeared in more than 40 feature films and more than 30 television shows, such as “Law and Order: Los Angeles,” “Eagleheart,” “NCIS,” “Ugly Betty” and others, stars as the lead character, Karen Stevenson.

The film tells a series of interweaving stories dealing with how the town reacts when the most popular girl

in school dies from an accidental overdose on prescription drugs, Papke said.

The story follows those who gave her the drugs, those who didn’t use them, the police officer called to the scene, the soldier with post-traumatic stress syndrome whom the drugs were taken from, her mother and other characters.

“It’s kind of this cause and effect circle dealing with this one inciting tragedy,” Papke said.

The film’s characters are described as decent, ordi-

nary, hardworking suburban Christians. And the goal was not to be dogmatic or preachy, Papke said.

“Through all these tragic events, it’s faith not only in God but in other people that allows us to overcome our loss and the challenges of life,” he said. “It’s not necessarily that people have these religious epiphanies, but rather they see through people helping other people that is how we experience grace.

“That’s the theme of the story.”

ROB CARROLL WITH MUSIC’S NEW RELEASES

FEATURED RELEASE Drake “Nothing Was The Same” HH½ Three full-length albums to his credit and Drake has found what works for him.

“Nothing Was The Same” is of the ilk of his more laid-back portions of 2011’s “Take Care,” which were some of the best parts of that album.

You can’t fault him for playing to his strengths.

But in doing so, Drake becomes somewhat predictable on this album.

Halfway into “Nothing Was The Same,” you realize Drake has found his groove and is sticking there. All expectations of him trying something new seem to fade.

Even when Drake gets all worked up, he still sounds like he’s delivering his lyrics with his feet kicked up on a coffee table.

The anthemic “Started From The Bottom” is one of the few times Drake comes alive on the album.

His cadence bounces with the bass during the chorus.

Then again, this is what happens when rapper Drake shows up to the party. Unfortunately, that version of Drake doesn’t enter the room enough on “Nothing Was The Same.”

Instead we get more crooner Drake than was probably necessary. The relaxed approach makes most of the remaining songs blend together.

There are a couple standouts in there. The R&B flavored “Hold

On, We’re Going Home” has a throwback sound to radio favorites from the early ’90s.

Also, “Furthest Thing” has just enough bounce to its beat to help give Drake’s vocals some life.

“Nothing Was The Same” proves Drake can still craft some hits.

But it also shows he hasn’t quite figured out how to be dependable without being overly predictable.

Into It. Over It.

“Intersections” HHH Into It. Over It., the moniker used

by Chicago’s Evan Weiss, borrows elements from late-’90s emo acts on “Intersections.”

Before the word “emo” was associated with guy-liner and tight jeans, there was a budding scene for the music in the Midwest. It was supported by dudes in bands who weren’t concerned about their looks. Into It. Over It. could very well have toured with The Promise Ring, The Get-Up Kids or Braid during that era.

Weiss gives a nod to a slice of the Midwest music scene without sounding overly dated.

The best songs on the album are when he works with a slow build before letting loose. The explosion of sound on “New North-Side Air” hits hard before he gently helps you back down before the end of the song.
